before him, and exclaimed, ' I cannot, dare not cross it! Oh God! lam lost ! the dog—the dug!' " What situation could be more frightful than that in which the lady found herself ? In the centre of a desolate and unpeopled moor, far from assistance, and left alone with a person afflicted with decided madness. She might, it is true, have abandoned him, for the terrors of the poor wretch. would have prevented him from crossing the ri vulet ; but with extraordinary courage she returned, seized the bridle fearlessly, and notwithstanding the out cries of the unhappy man, forced his horse through the water, and never left his side, until she fortunately over took some tenants of her brother returning from a neigh bouring fair. " I arrived on a visit the third evening after this occur rence, and the recollection of that poor old man's sufferings has ever since haunted my memory. All that medical skill and affectionate attention on his master's part could do to assuage his pain, and mitigate the agonies he occasionally underwent, was don e . A t l engt h t h e moment t h at wa s devoutly prayed for came. He died on the sixth morning. From this horrible fate nothing but his own determi nation preserved m y re l at i ve: an d b y t h e t i me l y use o f a painful remedy, e.icision and cautery of the wound, he escaped this dreadful disease. " I have related the calamity of another—but I, too, have been a sufferer; although, thank God ! not in person. " A setter of uncommon beauty was presented to me, by a gentleman, under peculiar circumstances. He had been the favourite companion of his deceased wife, and during her long and hopeless illness had seldom left her chamber. He begged me to allow him a place in the Lodge, and not subject him to the restraint of the kennel. His wishes were obeyed, and Carlo was duly installed into all the rights and privileges of a carpet dog. " I left home on a shooting visit, and luckily brought a brace of my best setters with me. A week after my depar ture an express reached me to say that Carlo was ' very odd, would not eat, and bit and worried every dog he met with.' I took alarm instantly, and returned home without delay. I found the household in desperate alarm. Carlo was confined in a separate out-house, but not until he had worried and torn every dog in my possession ! " I went to reconnoitre him through an irou-stanchioned window ; he was in the last and frightfullest stage of con firmed hydrophobia. I sent for a rifle and terminated the animal's life. " I was at first afraid to enquire into the extent of my calamity. I mustered courage to enter the kennel, and personally investigated the state of my dogs. Every one of them, ten in number, had been bitten, and several of them were fearfully mutilated by the rabid animal I bad de spatched. Even the terriers had not escaped, and they, poor animals ! were necessarily included in the general order for execution, that I issued to the keeper. That noble house•dog, who has been the subject of your admiration, was fortunately preserved by having been sent for by a gen tleman who resided in the next county. " A most extraordinary insensibility to danger was evinced by the female members of my household. Un luckily Antony was absent in the mountains setting a broken bone ; the keeper had accompanied me ; every one ac quainted with the habits and management of dogs was from home; and the kennel was entrusted to the kitchen boy. On this occasion the disease appears to have come on gra dually, and for days the setter betrayed the customary Signs of incipient madness. Had he been tied up even when the malady was fully established, no mischief might have resulted. But until his violence became frightful, he was actually permitted to run about the house, and got access to the kennel, while the boy was carrying food to his charge. " The escape of the servants was miraculous. The day only before my arrival, the dog, in a paroxysm of suffering, had thrown himself across the fire-place. Come away from that, Biddy,' said the old cook, with perfect noncha_ lance, to her attendant Don't ye see the doy is mad?' and continued some culinary operation, in which, at a dis tant corner of the kitchen, she was engaged. The boy's preservation was u naccountable. The poor lad made many unavailing efforts to part the dogs when fighting in the kennel, a n d p revent the setters from being bitten. In this perilous attempt his clothes were literally torn to ribbons, but fortunately for himself there was not a scratch visible on his skin." PRICES OF STOCKS THIS hank Stock 188!4 7 3 per Cent.

This morning these Sessions commenced before the Right Hon. the Loan MAYOR, the RECORDER, Aldermen SMITH, LU CAS , W INCHESTER, ANSLEY, WILSON, HUN TER, &C. APEAL The fir s t case h eard was P an a . ppeal on th part of Mr. Abrah am W or l ey, late, and Mr. William Carter, pre vious, proprietor of Anderton's coffee-house, in Fleet-street, against the refusal of the licensing Justices, Sir I'. Laurie and Aldermen Winchester and Ansley to transfer the license from Mr. Worley to Mr. Carter. Th e petition was read, which stated that Mr. Worley had conducted the coffee-house in credit and respectability for a period of 26 years ; that on the Ist of June he sold his interest to Mr. Carter, and gave the usual notice to transfer the license at the Licensing Sessions in July ; on appearing before the licensing Magistrates for that pur pose, Mr. Tickner, the Deputy of the Ward, objected to the transfer, on the ground that it was in contemplation without his (the Deputy's) sanction to make a bar in the front-part of the premises, and convert that portion into a gin -shop ; upon that ground the Magistrates refused to transfer the license, unless the parties would undertake not to make a bar for the sale of spirituous liquors, and to make sti,,th alterations as the Deputy of the Ward approved of. Mr. ADOLPHUS (with whom was Mr. PAYNE) ap peared to support the petition. He stated that Ander bton's Coffee-house was a very respectable and old esta lished concern; indeed his, Mr. Adolphus's, memory did ot carry hint so far back as its origin. RECORDER-4 have known it for half a century. Mr. ADOLPHUS said, in consequence of the great tivalship in the trade, the business of the Coffee-house had t:onsiderably fallen off, but it was not pretended that any itnproprie'y had ever been heard of in the house. The °, n e l y objection was, that part of the front would " converted into a common gin-shop, so that the oldbeen tavern would altogether alter its character. It had laid dow n in law books, that a license was in the nature of perso n Property, and that unless it was abused, no ought to infringe on it. In a case similar to the present, which came before the Middlesex Sessions, a Reverend Magistrat e refused to transfer a license, because, as he was pleased to say, it would encourage the sale of blue ruin to a v ery great extent; on that occasion a learned Ma- Ristrate now deceased (Sir A. Pell) took up the subject, and s aid that it was not lawful to interrupt the sale of an article Which the Act of Parliament allowed to be sold, and which was a source of profit to the Revenue, and that those per sons wh o were licensed to sell spiritous liquors were bound in fact to sell as much as they could ; at all events, the ale of gin, or th e extent o f i ts sa l e , was no pound for re fusing to transfer a license. In the present case so many new licenses had been granted in the neighbourhood of Fle et -street, that the business of Anderton's coffee-house had seriously diminished, and it had been determined by the p e titi one rs m ere ly t o m a k e a bar front, and se ll spirt. tuous liquors, still keeping ep the old character of a ' tavern and Hotel in all others parts of the house.

It is reported in the diplomatic eircles,although nothing has transpired officially, that the Cabi net Council yesterday came to a decision as to the measures to be adopted in the first instance against Holland, in the event of the refusal of the Dutch Cabinet to treat with Belgium on the basis recommended to the Conference, and that it was transmitted yesterday afternoon to the KING, at Windsor, for his sanction. AS it is known that Prince TALLEYRAND has formally communicated to Earl GREY the assurances of the French Ministry, that they will cordially co-operate with our Cabinet in any coercive measures against Holland ; and as it is notorious that no reliance can be placed on any attempt at negotiation under the auspices of Russia and Prussia, it is not impossible that Earl GREY and his colleagues may have come to a resolution to order Sir PULTENEY MAL COLM to sea, and to try the effect of a naval demonstration against Holland ; but we are by no means convinced, by any thing which we have yet witnessed, that it is tile intention of the British and French Governments to follow up such a demonstration by actual hostilities, in the event of the continued obstinacy of the King of HOLLAND. Prince TA LLEYRAND and Lord PALMERSTON have declared their opinion that the result of the first demonstration against Holland will be to lower the tone of the Dutch Monarch, and to open the way to a proposal for negotiations, in which a colour would be afforded for the abandonment of coercive mea sures, and the arrangement of the dispute with out real ,advantage to Belgium, but with a f4t vourable pretext for avoiding war with those Powers by whom the King of HOLLAND has been instigated hitherto to reject every offer that has been made. If mere blustering is to be tried, and if such a result as this would satisfy the honour of the British and French Cabinets, Prince TA LLEYRAND and Lord PALMERSTON may have formed a correct estimate of the effect to be derived from their labour ; but if they expect that the Dutchman will be alarmed into a concession of all that has been demanded, by their demonstration, they will be much deceived. The King of HOLLAND does not, as one of our Morning Contemporaries has supposed, imagine that lie will have to contend singly against the whole of Europe. He knows very well, that although Austria would not assist him, Russia and Prussia eventually would ; and that if new ne gotiations favourable to himself could not be opened, these Powers would throw off the mask which they have so long worn in presence of France and England, and concur Niith him in an at empt to regain the Belgian throne. We are told, however, that the French Go vernment, anxious to conciliate Prussia, and to remove any pretext for opposing the entry of a French army into Belgium, has offered to al low the Prussians to occupy Venloo and the Belgian part of Luxemburg, as guarantees for the evacuation of the Belgian territory by the French as soon as the object of their entry shall have been attained. If the objection of Prussia to the occupation of Belgium by the French were really founded on considerations affecting that country alone, the offer might be accepted ; but the friendship of Prussia for Holland has its origin in a desire to make the Dutch instrumen tal to a cou►►ter-revolutionary movement, which would displace LEOPOLD, and eventually deprive LOUIS PHILIPPE of his crown. Besides, we would ask what right the French have to offer to apportion any part of the Belgian territory to Prussia ? One would think that before such an offer had been made they would have asked the Belgians' consent. If, as we suppose, all the blustering about coercive measures should end in mere menaces, it will be curious to see what course the King of BELGIUM will take. The powers with which-he invested M. Van de WEYER to treat with tl►e Dutch Plenipotentiary expired on the 10th inst., and it was understood, that in the event of no treaty being concluded by that time, he would commence operations for the expulsion of the Dutch garrison from the citadel of An twerp. We are now at the 17th day of Octo ber, and the Belgian question has not advanced one step. Will not LEOPOLD find it necessary to attempt the vindication of his honour, and the maintenance of the popularity without which he cannot hope to retain his throne, by an at tack upon the Dutch; and if the Belgians should venture to try their strength single-handed against Holland, will Great Britain and France allow Russia or Prussia to give even the slightest assistance to tile Dutch? A private express from Paris has been re ceived this morning, bringing the Papers of Monday, and private letters. The Papers contain no foreign news of im portance, and are principally filled with com ments on the new Cabinet. The address of each of the Ministers is strongly animadverted upon. The new Ministry is far from giving satisfaction, and no doubt will meet with violent opposition at the meeting of the Chambers on the 19th of next month. General LAFAYETTE, M. LAFITTE, M. DUPIN, Generals JACQUE MINOT and LozAu, besides a great number of other Deputies, are determined to oppose the Doctrinnaires and juste-milieu system which has been pursued since the Revolu tion of July, 1830, notwithstanding the large batch of new Peers which has been created to carry the measures of Marshal SOULT in the Upper House, in defiance of the Chamber of Deputies. The policy that France intends to adopt relative to Belgium and Holland will be officially announced in a few days. The general opinion in Paris is, that the SouLT Administration will be entirely guided by the Cabinet of St. James's, as Prince TALLEY RAND, previous to his departure, strongly im pressed upon LOUIS PHILIPPE the absolute necessity of the two Governments co-operating for the speedy settlement of the Belgic question. The news from Madrid, up to the Bth, represents that capit a l an d t h e country pretty tranquil since the change of Ministers ; but the KING'S health is far from being re-established, although strong hopes are held out by his phy sicians. The party of Don CARLOS resort to every sort of intrigue among the military, and the Princess of BEIRA, sister to Don MIGUEL, strives all in her power to gain partizans for the Usurper in the new Cabinet. Paris continues tranquil, and the meeting of the Chambers is looked forward to with the greatest interest. The Funds have experienced but a trifling fall since the 12th, and are at Saturday's quotation. Hamburg papers to the 13th inst. have been received. The principle article in them is that respecting the reception given to CHARLES X. by the Royal Family of Prussia, which clearly developes the secret policy of the absolute Cabinets of the North—the restora tion of CHARLES X, and consequently the an nexation of Belgium to Holland. They are mad no doubt, but there is sonic method in their madness : STOCKHOLM, OCT. 2.—The Gazette of yesterday an nounces that, after the ceremonies on opening the Gota Canal, the Clown Prince and Princess arrived on the 29th in this city, and her Majesty at the country seat, Haga. It also gives at great length the details of the cere mony. His Majesty returned to the capital yesterday. On the whole road he was welcomed with a series of festivities. Twenty-two years have been employed in the construc tion of the Gota canal. It has cost rather more than 10,430,000 rix dollars, of which 6,378,334 have been advanced by the public Treasury. At the opening of the canal several Englishmen belonging to the Ruby, of the Eng lish Yacht Club, were present. They had come to Gothen burg, intending to sail through the canal into the Baltic, but were prevented by the long quarantine at Kanso. STOCKHOLM, OCT. 5.---Yesterday morning early a re port was spread of the arrest of two discharged officers for high treason. This report has been confirmed by the fol lowing official supplement to the Gazette : " The Es-Major Baron Ernest Von Vegesack and the Ex-Atijor Paron Gustavus Von Duben have been arrested for high treason, and have been examined to-day before the Royal Serea Tribunal." The Chief Justice was present at the examination, at which a letter was produced, written in July, in Berlin, signed with the name of Ernest V. Vegesack, and ad dressed to Major V. Duben, who was at that time in Vienna. This letter was shown to Msjor V. Vegesack. It requests Major Von Duben to acquaint the Ex-Crown Prince of Sweden, the son of Gustavus Adolphus IV., that Baron V. Vegesack, before his departure from Sweden, had had an interview with all the Members of the Swedish opposition, at which they were unanimously of opinion that there was no salvatio❑ for Sweden, except by re placing the Ex-Crown Prince on the throne. Major Von Vegesack confessed that the hand•-writing closely resembled his, hut positively denied having written the letter, and demanded to be released from his arrest, which was refused. The examination of the two prisoners has been con tinued to-day, in presence of the Chief Justice, and their papers have been sequestrated. A courier from Vienna had brought the evening before yesterday the letter, which had been given at Vienna to the Swedish Minister• there. The citizens of all classes are incensed against the accused, and every body hopes that in the course of the proceedings their guilt will be legally proved, and their accomplices discovered, should there unhappily be anv such in Sweden, who, disregarding their oaths, should have been capable of ntering into any such plots. BERLIN, OCT. B.—His Majesty is expected to return to Potsdam, from Toplitz, on the 16th. King Charles X., and the other members of the Royal Family, have been received with the greatest respect and distinction in the Prussian dominions. The Duke of Bor deaux, who arrived at Spandau, at 11 o'clock at night, on the sth, left that place early on the 6th, and proceeded to Berlin and Fredericksfeld, where he was waited on by the President of the Police of Berlin, and several other persons. At Spandau be was received by Duke Charles of Mecklenburg, Count Schliessen, Aide-de- Camp to the Crown Prince, and the Spanish Ambassador, General Cordova. King Charles arrived at Spandau twenty-four hours later, with the Duke of Angouleme. They were received by the Duke of Mecklenburg, Prince Adalbert, who had visited them in Scotland, and the Sp►- nish Ambassador. The Duke of Mecklenburg was commis. sinned to inquire whether theywould like to meet the Princes and Princesses of the Royal Family. The Ex-King was much affected with this mark of attention, and accepted an in. vitation to breakfast at the residence of Prince Augustus. in the Park, near Berlin, where he was received this morn ing by the Crown Prince and Princess, and the other Princes and Princesses. Charles X., who is still quite vigorous, took leave, with much emotion, of the Royal party by whom he had been so kindly received. Prince Augustus hail, during the breakfast, shown to the august visitors several pictures which he most highly prized as having been given to his illustrious father, Prince Fer dinand, by his Majesty Louis X VI. A travelling carriage, drawn by six grey horses, and four other carriages, passed through our capital at 10 o'clock in the morning. The next station was Fredericksfeld, where the Crown Prince had invited the travellers to din ner, which they declined, because they wished to reach Frankfort-on-the-Oder before night, where the hotel of the Golden Lion is prepared for them. On the road to Breslau 46 horses are in readiness at every stage. They will stop a few days at Frankfort. The Duke of Bor deaux is to visit Custrin and Field of Kunustlorff. The stay at Frankfort is caused by the circumstance that it is not quite certain whether they will go to Gratz, because the Palace of Prince Kaunitz at Austerlitz, about 10 miles from Brunn, has been proposed for their residence. The new Belgian Ambassador has been received by all the Princes except Prince Albert, Consort of Princess Marianne, daughter of his Majesty the King of the Ne therlands.—Hamburg Papers, Oct. 12.

By the Brussels papers we regret to see that the cholera has re-appeared at Bruges with in creased mortality, to which two of our country men have become victims : BRUSSELS, OCT 13.—Tire Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia have replied to the letter by which our King notified his marriage to them. Both those Sove reigns express a wish for the speedy arrangement of the affairs of Belgium. Mr. Duffin, the English Cabinet messenger, set out yes terday for Ostend with despatches. Mr. Rey, another English Cabinet messenger, coming from Berlin with despatches for London, arrived at 3 o'clock, and set out again at 4. M. Hilloech, the Belgian Cabinet messenger, set out yesterday evening with despatches for London. M de Muelenaere, who has resumed his functions as Governor at Bruges, signs himself Minister of State, Governor of West Flanders. The cholera has suddenly become very severe at Bruges, there have lately been 21 cases and 15 deaths daily. Two Englishmen who had come to take possession of the property of the English Admiral, Drury, who lately died at Bruges, were seized with cholera the day after their arrival, and both died in a few hours. The cholera has been for some days past in the military hospitals at Namur.—Brussels Papers, Oct. 14. Contrary to expectation, the speech of the King of HOLLAND has not been received by the usual channel, but a Morning Contempo rary gives the following as its substance. How far it is deserving of credit we do not pretend to say ; but the general opinion now is, that there will be no war at present, as the Dutch KING must yield to the force of circumstances. The report of a Russian fleet being ready to sail for the Taxel, is, we think, unfounded. Such a step on the part of the Emperor NICHOLAS would at once rouse the vengeance of England, as it would be presuming to cope with her on her own proper element. " The Speech which the King of Rolland was to have delivered on Monday to the States-General has arrived in town, it being always, as in London and Paris, settled two days previously, and communicated to the Corps Diplo matique. " His Dutch Majesty, as was to be expected, talks in a lofty strain of his rights, and of his determination to main tain them "par sea rnoyens militaires." But as money constitutes the sinews of war, he wants 40 millions of florins, which aro to be raised by a loan of 90 millions, taking in payment different Stocks of Six, Five, and Four per Cent., so a. 9 to make it pallatable to Stock jobbers, in the shape of a gambling transaction. The Dutch Ambas sador in London has this morning had interviews on this subject with Prince Talleyrand, Baron Bulow, and other foreign Ministers. It is believed that, after all this blus tering, the King of Holland will have the wisdom to yield, when Count Durnhoff returns from Berlin, and brings the anxiously expected despatches from the King of Prussia—who, being so closely related by family ties to the King of Holland, will give him the most discreet and salutary advice; the Queen of Holland being the King of Prussia's own sister, whose sons are also in termarried with the House of Orange. The King of Holland will easily appease the warlike humour his subjects are in at present, by showing the impossibility of resisting the tremendous odds now arraigned against him, and the impracticability of fighting all the world single-banded. The Hollanders will see, that he has done his best, and give him credit for having stood out so long and so firmly. This much is certain, that Baron Fagel, the Dutch Ambassador at Paris, who enjoys KingWilliatn's confidence in a high degree, as an old personal friend and companion in arms, only demanded his pssports, for the purpose of going to Holland to persuade his Royal master to make up matters with England and France, to prevent a hostile collision. As to the alleged interview between Prince Metternich and Marshal Maison at Vienna, wherein the former is represented to have strongly pro tested against the military intervention of France against Holland, there is not a word of truth in it, the feelings of Austria being quite the reverse, though it may suit thy Hague journals to give the thing such a colouring. " France, in order to conciliate Prussia, has not onl!, offered that Power the provisional occupation of 'Wentoo, and the Belgian part of Lux •mburg, but also any other place she might point out, or desire to hold, as a pledge of the bona fide evacuation of Belgium by the French troops, as soon as the objects of the expedition are attained." In another part of our paper we have given an abridgment of Colonel STANHOPE'S speech, delivered last night at a meeting of a section of the Tower Hamlets' Electors. It is character ised by the same straightforward honesty as the last we noticed. There is no shirking, no blink ing of important questions, no wrapping of him self up in vague generalities, no taking of refuge in declarations that he has not made up his mind, all of which, when had recourse to, mean that the candidate differs from the electors; but all is plain and above board ; and to crown the whole, the opinions he expresses are only what the Colonel has for years professed. We recollect the time, and it is not very far back, when to advocate such opinions, from nine men out of . ten drew forth a smile almost of pity, at the en thusiasm which could contemplete their suc cessful application. Yet here we are, in the year 1832, and plans for the amelioration, not merely of our own condition, but of that of the whole human race, which lately the philan thropist and philosopher sighed to think could not be accomplished in their time, are now within our power of fulfilment. May those who have toiled through years of disappointment, who sowed, and saw that their seed fell upon the soil of indifference, or was eaten by the fowls of the air, or, springing up, was destroyed by the ver min of the earth,—may they, now that the vermin are banished, and that their seed has taken firm root and ripens, be allowed to share the harvest ! Colonel STANHOPE is one of the oldest, as well as one of the most staunch, of the Reformers who have presented themselves as candidates for seats in the new Parliament, and the electors of the Tower Hamlets have done themselves honour by the manner in which they have supported him. There is one point in his address of last night with respect to which the gallant Colonel i• labouring under a mistake in common with many others. We allude to the plan for taking the stamp duty off newspapers, and substituting a Post-Office charge of one penny on each paper. No doubt the circulation of newspapers would be vastly increased by this plan, but it would not be a circulation which would yield the revenue the Chancellor of the Ex chequer must get in. The effect of taking ofl the duty, and imposing a postage, would be to deprive the Revenue of all benefit of the increased sale which. would take place in large towns. In London, for instance, the sale of papers would be increased probably twenty-fold; but as they would not go through the Post Office, the revenue would derive no compensation for the loss of the stamp duty. A similar result would be witnessed with respect to the local papers of large country towns. Little revenue would be derived even from the London papers sent into the country, for where they are forwarded in large quantities they will not be put into the post. For instance, a newsman can send a parcel containing a hundred papers to Manchester for two or three shillings : is it likely he will pay Bs. 4d. to send them by post However, Colonel STANHOPE'S principle of reducing the tax, which either shuts out the poorer classes from political information alto gether, or throws them into the hands of ignorant persons willing to break the law, be cause they have nothing to lose, is excellent, and let the principle be once adopted, the details will be soon agreed upon. We direct attention to the speculations of 0. P. Q. in another column, which are strongly illustrative of his characteristic sagacity. He asserts boldly, and with much apparent truth, that the projected war with Holland is a Doc trinnaire job, got up to hoodwink the ntouve ment party, and thereby secure a majority in the Chamber for a mock heroic display of energy, in order the more securely to bring about a coun• ter-revolution, in which Louts PHILIPPE is himself implicated ! The singular latitude given to the Duchess de BERRI is instanced as a corroborative proof of this Royal conspiracy. 'e entertain some doubts; but certainly the whole matter looks odd, if not suspicious. Even the Dutch are said to be in the secret, which rather adds to the mystery The recent improvements at Charing-cross are daily exciting the admiration of the public• The only wonder is, that they should have been so long delayed. In a place of such constant and crowded public resort, the open space now afforded is rendered the more desirable as so many coaches are hourly starting to all parts of the country, and arriving at that well-known establishment the Golden Cross. We are happy to understand, that with the alteration in the locality, the spirited proprietor of that establishment has made a correspond ing improvement in the Golden Cross Inn, which is now re-built in a handsome style, and is so extensive as to afford excellent accom modation to any number of travellers. Attention, economy, and despatch are the best requisites for travellers, and these are all duly promised. MORE BLOODSHED AT ARDBOE.—A cor respondent from Aughnacloy informs us that on the night of Monday, October 8, about 10 o'clock, Captain DUFF, who commanded the police when they shot several of the country-people in the neighbourhood of Ardboe, some short time since, repaired to that quarter with 25 of the constabulary. Our correspondent says, that a number of persons, chiefly boys, had assembled with a fife and drum; but that, on the approach of the constabulary, they dis persed without offering any resistance. 'The police, how ever, fired, and a man named BELL, who was removing a horse from an adjoining field, was shot in the groin, and several of the fugitives were wounded. lie mentions se veral particulars, but as the communication is anonymous, we cannot detail them ; nor would we now state the foregoing, but that we know an affray has taken place between the constabulary and the country people, and that the greatest excitement at present prevails in that district. The suferers, we understand, are not, in the present instance, Catholics, though this unfor tunate occurrence has been another result of the accursed tithe system. Until we get information upon which we can rely, we refrain from noticing the transaction at greater length.—Newry Examiner. DAY AT ONF: O'CLOCK. New 5 per Cent. India Stock Ditto Bonds l3 14 pm.

THE OLD COACH INN TAVERN AND FAMILY HOTEL, THE GOLDEN-CROSS, CHARING CROSS, • rebuilt on an enlarged and improved plan, combining in the highest degree comfort and economy, with arrange ments adapted for the convenience and accommodation of Families and Gentlemen. The recent improvements in the Strand having led to the demolition of the Old GOLDEN-CROSS, care has been taken to obtain a site for rebuilding this well-known Establishment in the immediate neighbourhood, upon a plan to include all the advantages which time and expe rience have developed. The very convenient situation of the GOLDEN. CROSS is sufficiently known ; its proximity to the Houses of Par liament, to the Public Offices, and the Theatres, recom mend it especially to the notice of all who visit London, whether upon business, or for amusement ; whilst the ex tensive Coach Establishment of B. W. HORNE and Co., in connexion with the premises, will secure the most con venient and unlimited facilities for conveyance and corre spondence to all parts of England and the Continent. The new Proprietor, THOMAS EDWARDS (late of the Queen's Arms Tavern, Newgate-street), respectfully solicits a trial of thi s E s t a bli s hment. He 'refers, with feel ings of gratitud e anti satisfaction, to the kind and liberal support of his friends and the public, in his previous un dertakings, and desiring to deserve a continuance, he has made every possible exertion to insure it, regardless of labour or expense. He has removed a portion of his OLD STOCK OF WINES from Newgate-street, and has, through his con• nexion and influence in the Wine Market, laid in such a Stock of Wines and Spirits as may challenge competition with any house in the metropolis. In the domestic arrangements, every attention has been paid to cleanliness and comfort; the premises have been thoroughly aired and dried; and the Proprietor flatters him self that the Sleeping-rooms and Beds of his Hotel cannot be surpassed, if equalled, by any similar establishment. Royal Mails and Coaches to all parts of the United Kingdom anti the Continent, start daily from this Tavern. N.B. A porter will be in attendance throughout the night, so that gentlemen may get access to their apart ments at any hour. ,NGE YESTERDAY.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS -(THIS DAY.) Mary Coleman, Ma; . y Caonan, the younger, and Louisa Maria Coleman were indicted fur assaulting Amelia, the wife of Edward Ford, on the 2d of July last. The prosecutrix stated that on the day named she was in her own shop at Fulham. Her husband kept a beer shop and had a lodger, named Flemington, who was lying ill up stairs. Louisa Coleman came in and wished to go up to him, but as the doctor had given orders that he shou'd be kept quiet, she got before her to prevent her going up. Louisa then, without saying a word, struck her and shoved her aside, and went up. In a minute after her sister Mary came in, and also struck her without a word being said. Their mother then followed, and also struck her, and tore off her cap, saying, " You killed your own chil dren through neglect, and want also to kill the poor man up stairs." A Mr. More, a carpenter, did not see the first of the transaction, but corroborated the last witness in the latter part. The prisoners in their defence said that Louisa wished to go up to Mr. Flemington with some broth, when M:s. Ford obstructed her, and using some bad language struck her first ; the mother and sister seeing this from the street run in and were also assaulted. They had preferred an indictment, and till they had dune so nothing was heard of this one. They' called several witnesses, who proved their state ment. The Jury were satisfied, and stopped the cas'.. Prisoners acquitted. George Vipond and John Smith were charged with assaulting a foreigner named Antonio Caccia. The prosecutor stated that he rented apartments of Mr. Vipond, at No. 2, Euston-square, at 455. a week. After being there eight weeks he wished to leave, and offered his landlord 9/. which be owed him, but that gentleman thought it was more, as he insisted that he had let the apartments for two calendar months, and wanted a propor tion of the rent for the odd days. Mr. Caccia refused to pay more, and got a porter to take away his things, but Mr. Vipond prevented him from doing so. The pro secutor then went to a Magistrate, but he refused to inter fere, telling him he must get them away as be best could. He then got two parish constables to accompany him, to see that he was not annoyed, and before them offered the 9/. again. Mr. Vipond still refused, and on Mr. Caccia's trying to go up to his rooms, he caught him by the collar and shook him violently. Smith also struck him, but not till after he had caught him by the collar to remove hint from the door. Au offer of compromise was made, but refused, by the prosecutor, who said he did want money but justice. Vipond was found Guilty and fined 101., and Smith acquitted, having been assaulted first. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. There is a considerable arrival this week of vessels laden with Corn, but as on Monday last nearly all the New Wheat was sold, rather snore money is asked today for such, with little business doing. Barley, Beans, and Pease, continue very dull at Mon day's prices. Oats are heavy in sale, and rather cheaper. The demand for Flour continues fair. An RIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats. I Flour.

According to accounts, it appears that the public and our city speculators will be disappointed in having the King of Holland's speech this day, as it is stated in a Morning Journal that they were waiting at the Hague for ?he arrival of the steamer from London, previous to the .peech being 6nally made up, in consequence of which it would not be delivered until Tuesday. How far this re port is correct we cannot say at present. Great doubts Are still entertained by the well.infortned that the King of Holland will continue his warlike disposition ; at all events he will have ample time to consider on the subject before our fleet sails for his coast, and hostile measures are adopted. Up to the present hour we have no arrivals from the , heatre of war in Portugal. There is a report that Mi guel's squadron was blockading Oporto ; as yet we can not trace it to any authentic source. Consols opened at the same price they left off at yt sterday, 844 for the Account, with scarcely a bargain doing ; the speculators are waiting the arrival of the express with the French prices. The Foreign Market is quite idle. HALF-PAST ONE. In the absence of arrivals from the theatre of war in Portugal, they report at the Stock Exchange that a battle has taken place at Oporto, in which Don Pedro lost his life. Great anxiety prevails for the arrival of the Dutch ,teatner, which no doubt will bring the King of 110 land's speech, but her arrival is not expected until this evening, as she was not to leave until 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the tide at present is against her. We have no political news to be depended upon up to the preent time. Consols, which were rather heavy in the early part of the morning, at 84 to k for the account, have rather im proved, owing to a purchase of 6 4,Q00/. fur money, and are at present 84i to In the Foreign Market, Portuguese Scrip J to 5-1-, discount; Dutch 4li THREE O' CL 0 CK.

Mr. GOULD, a gentleman whose vocal ability is highly spoken of, is about to make his appearance i❑ the character of Henry Berrtram, at Covent garden theatre; in the course of a few days. The receipts at Drury-lane theatre, on the , ircasion of the pageant on Saturday last, in honour of Sir WAnTrx Scorr, amounted to nearly 6001.
