Dr yesterday, respecting the overthrow of the Con stitutional Party at Madrid, and the desertion of -Mottrum to their opponents, is one of those in ventions with which the French Ultra-Papers en deavour to deceive the Public, and does not de serve the least notice. By the Madrid Papers, to which we alluded yesterday,• it appears, that so completely was the public tranquillity restored, . and social confidence re-established ; and so sa tisfactory was the state of the Spanish capital considered, that on the 17th the national militia, who had - been encamped in the Square of the C onstitution from the Ist of the month, broke 'UP and retired to their homes, after having pro ". • ceeded in great pomp to the house of the Muni cipality, to receive the thanks of the Authorities. lite artillery likewise retired to the Park, and O nly a sufficient number of men remained under •: arms to do the duty of the Garrison.

Charleston Papers arrived this morning to the 2d July. " CHARLESTON, JUNE 29.—An Insurrection among the Blacks took place at Charleston-. The Court of Magistrates and Freeholders, con vened for the trial, found six of them Guilty, and passed upon them the Sentence of Death." From the recent Parliamentary discussions re specting the new South American Governments, and the piratical depredations to which the un settled condition of the Spanish colonies has, perhaps inevitably, given rise, it is exceedingly satisfactory to find that every possible effort, which is consistent, with the laws of nations, and with the respect that is due to the flags of independent Powers, has been made by the British Government for the protection of British commerce, and for the suppression of those atrocities, which, in spite of the judicious instructions of Government, and the vigilance of our cruisers, unfortunately continue to be per petrated. In the House of Commons last night, in a discpssion which followed the presentation of a petition from certain Merchants and Ship owners of the City of London, complaining of the capture of a British ship by pirates off - the coast of Chili and Peru, Mr. BRIGHT suggeSted the adoption of proceedings, which, from the very satisfactory explanation given by Mr. CROKER, it appeared that Government had actually carried into practice so long ago as in March last. Dr. LUSHINGTON declared his conviction, after having very minutely examined the subject as a question of international law, that it was impossible for Government to have taken pny other steps than those which had been resorted to, for preserving our commerce in those seas from the depredations to which it had been exposed. In the mean time, the effect of the instructions which were trans mitted in March last to Admiral ROWLEY has not yet been ascertained ;—but from the vigour which he was directed to employ, and the well known alacrity of our naval commanders in per forming the duties committed to their hands, there is reason to hope that the outrages of the pirates have been considerably diminished. Inrsit DISTRESS.-In the debate last night on the third reading of the Tithes Leasing Bill, Colonel TRENCH took the opportunity of cor recting a mistatement which had gone abroad respecting what had fallen from him as to the diminution of the distress in Ireland.—What he had stated was, " that in the course of a few weeks considerable and extensive relief would be afforded by the potato harvest coming in, — but that the interval war the most anxious and .fearful period of all."—We rejoice that the Ho nourable and gallant Member has given this ex planation of a misrepresentation which was cal culated to stop that stream of benevolence which is still indispensable to the preservation of the starving peasantry of the Sister Country. The House of Commons will this day adjourn to Monday next, in order to afford time to the House of Lords to pass the remaining Bills; and on Tuesday, or Wednesday at farthest, his MAJESTY will go in State to Parliament, and terminate the Session by a Speech from the Throne. WEYMOUTH, JULY 29.—This day a very nu merous and respectable Meeting of the Inhabitants took place at the Guildhall in this Borough, pursuant to a public notice given in compliance with a Requisition to RICHARD BOWER, Esq., our worthy Mayor, for the purpose of considering the most effectual means of supporting the Union Coach, when it was unanimously resolved, that as the present Proprietors had taken off the concern from the original Subscribers, at a time when it inust otherwisehave been discontinued, and had hitherto conducted the same in a manner not only highly to their credit, but greatly to the satisfaction of the public in•general, the Meeting expressed their firm determination of continuing to give it their best and undivided support.—After entering into other Resolutions, thanks were voted to RICHARD BOWER, Esq., for his readiness in convening the Meeting, and for his able conduct in the Chair. The KING left town yesterday, about two o'clock, for his Lodge in Windsor Park. Yes terday morning, soon after six o'clock, the Prin cess AUGUSTA left town for Lymington.—The Duchess of KENT and the Princess SOPIIIA visited the Due of YORK yesterday. Yesterday Mr. Pnounm,ts, the KING'S Mes senger, left town with dispatches for the Hague. On Monday evening, soon after six o'clock, the Duke of GLOUCESTER, accompanied by Sir GEORGE COLLIER, arrived in town from his short excursion abroad. His Royal Highness landed at Margate on Sunday night, where his Royal Highness slept, and proceeded from thence early on Monday morning to Broadstairs, and arrived in London at the time he had appointed for his return. As soon as the matter connected with the dis graceful conduct of a certain Bishop came to the knowledge of the Home Department, the parti culars were submitted to the Crown Lawyers ; and, according to their advice, if the criminal do not resign, recourse is to be had to the solemn process of Episcopal deprivation. The ATTOR NEY-GENERAL will also officially prosecute the parties at the Middlesex Sessions, either to trial, or, if they evade that, to outlawry.—(Morning Paper.) THE THEATRES. lIAYMARIKET.—An extravagant but diverting comedy, called Who Wants a Guinea? was last night revived at this Theatre. It was written by Mr. T. DIBDIN, who is now the Stage-Ma nager of this Theatre, and to whose fertile pen it will probably be again indebted in the course of the present season. The piece was so well supported by LISTON, in Solomon Gundy, TERRY, in the character of a benevolent old Bachelor, and JoNrs in a blundering Irish Baronet, that the audience appeared to be`o much amused as to encourage a frequent repetition of the piece. ENGLIstt OPERA HousE.- - We were much gratified in seeing the benefit of that extraordi nary child, Miss CLARA FISHER, well attended last night. The play was The Heir at Law, and this very clever child performed the part of Doctor Punglos. Nothing was wanting but the appearance of manhood, as her performance was admirably humourous and characteristically cor rect. She seems, as we have before observed, to enter into the parts which she performs by instinct, as it is impossible for her to have stullled life and character. The ease and spirit of her acting In, general bear no marks of tuition. In fact, hardly any (if any) adult actor could have given the part with more truth and humour. BAR-rules Lord Duberley was a prominent feature in the piece, and a Mr. EVAN'S, from the country,;:was very natural in Ezekiel. The play was followed by The Spoiled Child, in which Miss C. noun again highly gratified the audience. MIL • EINIkRY. The Committee for conducting the Benefit and Subscription in aid of a fund to make provision for the aged parents and the wife and seven destitute children of the late Mr. EMERY, met yesterday at the office for conducting the affairs of the Theatrical Fund, in Bow-street, Covent-garden. The labours of these Gentlemen appear likely to be crowned with complete success. The subscription already exceeds 300 guineas, which includes 1001. received anonymously and in one sum. His Royal Highness the Duke of Yons has volunteered, in his usual kind and condescending manner, to send a donation of ,50/., with permission to use his name as patronizing thebenefit. The Proprietors of Covent Garden Theatre have agreed most li berally to permit the gratuitous use of their Theatre. Mr. AR NOLD voluntarily shuts up his Theatre, and the whole of his ef fectiVe company have, with one accord, agreed to play without fee or reward. Mr. MORRIS, following this laudable example, has permitted all of his company, not performing on that even ing, to play at Covent Garden. By these united acts of kind ness, the public will be gratified by a combination of talent, unequalled on any former occasion, and the result it will not be difficult to anticipate. But however gratifying it may be to witness an overflowing house, yet to provide in the most moderate manner for two aged parents, a wife and seven children, cannot be accomplished by means of this Benefit. We therefore refer our readers, with much plea sure, to the list of subscriptions in our first page, and we are persuaded every one who is at all theatrically dis posed, will testify their opinion of the extraordinary ta lents of the deceased, by contributing in the proportion their means will admit, to this praiseworthy, sOscription.— Mr. Roasxs took occasion to compliment tha Committee on the receipt of a most gratifying letter from the Marquis of o RD, who had generously contributed 251.. The good feeling that always prevails when a Theatrical Friend is gone, cannot be better illustrated than in the earnestness with which the whole of the company now in town have taken up the distressing case of poor EMERY. In this list will stand conspicuous the name of Miss DANCE, who with her two brothers have most generously contributed 15/. to this laudable subscription. Mrs. COUTTR, with her usual liberality, has, it seems, already sent 1001. towards the subscription for the fa mily of poor EMERY. This tribute, we understand, is intend ed by the amiable benefactress as merely to cover the funeral expences, mourning, &c. &c., but that her humanity is to be still farther extended towards a future provision for the family. RENEE BORDEREAU.—Among many heroines produced by the civil war of La Vendee, Renee Bordereau, commonly called Langevin, holds a foremost place. She was born at a village near Angiers, of humble parents.— Forty-two individuals of her lhmily lost their lives in the Revolution, and her father was butchered before her eyes. This determined her to take up arms herself. During the course of ,ix years, she fought on foot and on horseback in more than two hundred battles, with the most determined intrepidity. ller uncle was at the head of a party of republicans. Instigated by rage and a zeal for Royalty, she beheaded him. The republi cans in the Vendean war were called the Blues. Langevin killed four Blues at St. Lambert with her own hands. 111 the battle of Ponts de Ce, when she acted the part of a dragoon, she killed 21 of the enemy. Soon afterwards she liberated 50 priests at one time, and 800 at another, whose death had been determined on. A price of 40,000 francs was set on her head. She was thrown into prison for a crime, of which she could only prove her innocence by a discovery of her sex ; she remained, however, five years in prison, where she was treated in the most shameful manner and only obtained her freedom on the acces sion of Louis XVIII. to the throne. She has since had con ferred upon her the order of the Lily. • ANECDOTE OF A SCOTS GRAY AND A COLLIER —During the encounter between the Scots Grays and the colliers at Crwmlin, one - of the Grays was in the act of striking a collier with his sabre. " Hold, Alexander," said the collier, shewing his medal, " Don't you remember when I carried you, wounded, off the field of Waterloo ?" The soldier immediately dropped his sabre, proud that he had for the first time an opportunity of shewing his gratitude to the man to whom he owed his existence. SUlClDE.—Yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock, a respectable looking man, apparently about 35, was walking on the Terrace at Greenwich, and was observed by those who passed him to have an air of distraction. He sud denly stopped, and putting a pocket pistol to his right ear, fired, 'and instantly fell. He never spoke nor stirred after wards. The blood flowed from both ears, and the ball hav ing passed entirely through the brain, part of which pro. tnided through the wound, appeared under the skin of the left temple. The spectators of this fatal scene immediately gathered round, and Mr. Locker, the Secretary of the hospital, came out from his apartments, and sent instantly for the surgeons, but the spark of life was already fled. On his examining the pockets of the deceased, some papers were found, which indicate that the unhappy suicide was Mr. E. H. B—, a medical student of Guy's Hospital. On subsequent inquiry at that Institution we learn that this unfortunate gen tleman was a single man, of excellent character, and spent much time in reading religious books. He is the son of a Clergyman in a distant county. About four years since he was confined in one of the Lunatic Hospitals in this metro polis, and there can be no doubt a recurrence of the dreadful malady urged him to this fatal deed, FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

FASHIONABLE PARTIES, THE COUNTESS D'AMELAND'S BALL.—In Montague square, on Monday evening, her Ladyship gave an elegant ball. There were four rooms illuminated with great brilliancy. The dancing took place in the two drawing-rooms ; quadrilles took the lead.—At two o'clock the visitants sat down to a sup per replete with every delicacy, with Champaigue and Bur gundy. Punch a-la-Romaine was afterwards served up.— Covers were laid for 150 in the rooms on the ground floor. The dancing recommenced at three, and was kept up with spirit till five. LADY GWYDYR'S ASSEMBLY.—On the Terrace, in Pic. cadilly, her Ladyship gayer her seventh rout for the season, The apartments were fitted up in the same style as at the pre. ceding parties. Lady Perth entertained a select party of fashionables yester day evening at her house in Park-lane, among whores were the Dowager Duchess of Richmond and the Ladies Lennox. , It is said in the fashionable circle& that a treaty of marriage is on the tapis between Lord John Russell, nephew of the Duke of Bedford, and Miss Coussmaker, daughter of Lord and Lady De Clifford. POETRY. SONNET TO A FATHER, ON ISIS BIRTH-DAY, JULY 22. For thee, rever'd, fond, all-deserving Sire ! On the lov'd day which first illum'd thine eyes, Thy son, impell'd by duty, tunes his lyre,— That son—who for his tender parents sighs. He can no more with rapture's gaze admire His native scenes adorn'd with beauty's dyes, But eagle-swift, or like the electric fire, He would at once be there—this Fate denies ! Tho' plac'd from cherish'd objects far apart, Fancy transports him to those bosoms dear, Where he was wont to ope affection's heart, And he exclaims, with many a gushing tear, 0 father ! thou more priz'd than ever art. By him—who strives to run thy blest career. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BRIGHTON RACES (OVER THE NEW Counsr.)

The battle between John Teesdale, as good a lad in nature as ever peeled for the ring, and John Lenney, the formidable and brave competitor of Curtis, took place yesterday, on the spot stated, for a stake of 50 guineas. So good and manly a fight has seldom been witnessed. An Amateur and Achilles seconded Teesdale, and Spring and Curtis acted for Lenney. Betting 2 to 1 on Teesdale, and weights about equal. THE BATTLE. It lasted an hour and fifty minutes, and after the first three rounds it was all hard fighting. These rounds occupied more than a quarter of an hour in manceuvring, breaking the ground, &c. to endeavour to get at each other, and no blood was spilt, or a hit of any consequence placed, until at the end of the third round Teesdale placed a hit upon the tip of his adver sary's smeller, from which claret flew in abundance, and in a trial of strength both went down, but Lenney gained the fall. Round 4. Lenney placed a good right-handed blow over his adversary's left eye, which drew blood in streams ; a rally fol lowed, from which the combatants parted and returned to work, and both went down, but Lenney shewed most strength. 5. Teesdale was piping, and he dropped his hands, as was supposed, to draw his adversary to first lighting, Teesdale hav ing the length. A rally followed, hits were exchanged, and Teesdale was thrown. 6,7, and 8. Teesdale stood unguarded, stooping his breast down, and evidently distressed for wind. Lenney had made some excellent parries of his adversary's left hand, but he had the worst of the rounds, and was kept constantly bleeding with left handed nobbing, but his confidence remained unshaken. Teesdale led until the 11th round, Lenney being too short to get at him, but here he showed some rare game qualifica tions, and had the best of the round, and threw his adversary. The claret flew in all directions. The 17th round again produced extra play, and Lenney had bone the worst of a smart rally; and in the 18th both were too much tired for destructive work. The 19th was a gallant fighting round upon equality, and Lenney threw his adversary. 20. In this round it was no difficulty in naming the winner. Lenney was hit to a stand, and his head was one contused mass. He, however, went on, and fought some of the rounds successfully, until the 42d, when he was floored with a rum right-handed lugger, and was deaf to time. ma RKS.—Both sheaved themselves brave men; but Tees dale out-fought his adversary, and had confidence to keep on in transient adversity ; but he is not the slashing hitter he was supposed to be, although he finishes well. He has received his quantum of punishment. SINGULAR ALTERNATIVE.—It was formerly a law in Germany, that a female, condemned to a capital pu nishment, would be saved, if any man would marry her. A young girl at Vienna was on the point of being executed, when her youth and beauty made a great impression upon the heart of one of the spectators, who was a Neapolitan, a middle aged man, but excessively ugly. Struck with her chasms, he deter mined to save her, and running immediately to the place of exe cution, declared his intention to marry the girl, and demanded her pardon, according to the custom of the country. The par don was granted, on condition that the girl was not averse to the match. The Neapolitan then gallantly told the female, that he was a gentleman of some property, and that he wished that he was a king, that he might offer her a stronger proof of his attachment.—" Alas ! sir," replied the girl, " I am fully sensible of your affection and generosity, but I am not mistress over my own heart, and I cannot belie my sentiments. Unfortunately, they control my fate; and I prefer the death with which I am threatened to marrying such an ugly fellow as you are !" The Neapolitan retired in confusion, and the woman directed the executioner to do his office. PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morn ing, about eight o'clock, as Mr. Joseph Bateman was proceed ing in a gig towards Stourbridge, his horse, which was a spirited animal, and unaccustomed to harness, took fright nearly.opposite to Bellevue House, at an attempt made by Mr. B. to raise his umbrella, and galloped furiously down the steep hill leading into Hales Owen. Mr. B. being much alarmed, dropped the reins, by which the speed of the horse was fearfully increased ; and seeing a cart approach him from the bottom of the hill, dreading a concussion, he leaped from the gig about 20 yards before they met. The man driving the cart laid hold of the shaft horse, and endeavoured to get out o} the way, but unfortunately the fore horse turned short round at the moment the gig was passing, and received one of the gig shafts in his body, near the hip, which almost immediately killed him. The concussion was'so violent, that the cart, which was laden with casting pots, was overturned, and the man thrown under the horses, by which he had several of his ribs broken, and was otherwise s e _ rously injured. The horse, dragging a part of the gig atter him, was not stopped until he reached the turnpike on the Stour bridge-road. Mr. Bateman was taken up by some persons who witnessed the accident, and carried to a cottage near at hand. Me dical assistance was speedily procured ; when it was found that his left leg was so badly fractured in two places, that amputation above the knee was obliged to be resorted to ; he received also a severe contusion on the back of his head. We are, however, happy to say that he is recovering ; the driver also is improving. The cart and horses belonged to Mr. Ruf ford, of Stourbndge, and the animal killed was a very valuable one. Mr. Bateman's horse, as might be expected, sustained considerable injury.—(Birtnino.hant Gazette.) No. 1332 (Class A) lawn yesterday a Prize of'Twenty Thousand Pounds, 3 per Cent.

CORN EXCHANOE, JULY 31. We have but very little doing this morning, there being a very thin market of purchasers ; the Wheat trade remains as, on Monday, and nothing doing in Spring Corn ; the supply very good. A few samples of New Wheat at market of fine quality, merely as exhibtions of the produce of the present harvest. HOP INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK, JULY 29.—Our Hop trade does not im prove, on the contrary prices decline, and we have no increase of demand. The duty is at £130,000. MAIDSTONE, JULY 29.—Our Hop Plantations are certain.. ly in a much worse state than we described them in our last week's impression, they still hang in the burr, and we have a great deal more mould; the plant altogether puts on a very languid appearance, and shews a want of sap to throw the burr well into Hop. Our opinion is, we have never under-rated the duty.
