MANSION-HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.) Tilley Fromised not to offend in future, and stated his intention of going to his friends at Barnett, and could not thi n k wh a t induced him to get drunk, without it was inward insanity. Tulbot, and the other persons concerned with him in robbing his fothe•r, the landlord of the Ship Afloat public_ house, in Beer-lane, ware brought up again to doy. Mr. Talbot stated, that every search Fad he.n made, but no duplicates of the articles pawned could be found, they having been destroyed. Mr. Alderman FARE/MOTHER, in consequence of the deficiency of the evidence, was obliged to discharge the pritiners, which he was extremely sorry to do, there being little doubt of their guilt. Mr. Talbot said that such had been the conduct of his son that it was utterly impossible that he could again re ceive him into his house ; if he did Ina should soon be ruined. Mr. Alderma❑ FAREBROTHER thought he was perfectly able to get his own livelihood, and advised his father to give him a few shillings, and if he annoyed him again to put him into custody. Francis Harrington and Stewart Dunbar, the former a rather respectable-looking young man, and the latter well known at this office, having been convicted of keep ing an illicit still, were charged by Mr. James Powell, of the firm of Thomas and James Powell, of Billiter-street, with an intention of robbing him of two coats and a waistcoat.—lt appeared, from the statement of Mr. Powell, that on Saturday afternoon, while writing in his office, he beard a noise which attracted his attention, and made him run to the front door, o❑ doing which he found the coats and waistcoats lying in the passage. On going into the street he saw no person with the excep tion of the two prisoners, whom be followed, and charged them with the intention to commit the robbery. Upon this Herrington immediately dealt him out a com ; lete floorer, which Mr. Powell instantly returned, when Har rington finding he had got his snatch in the pugilistic art, resorted to other means, in which he was assisted by the other prisoner, and immediately fell to, and bit the prose cutor dreadfully in the hand ; ultimately, after a long struggle, both were secured. Mr. Joseph Harris, a clerk to Mr. Robson, in Seeth ing -lane, stated that he saw Harrington creep on his hands and knees out of the office of the prosecutor, Dunbar Waiting at the door to receive any property that might be obtained. George Christie proved that the coat., which had for merly been near the counting-how.e, were lying at the door, and that no person connected with the office had re moved them. Both prisoners stoutly denied the charge, Harrington stating that he was drunk on Saturday, and had not the slightest recollection of any of the cireumbtances alluded to by Mr. Powell. Mr. Alderman FAREBROTIiER committed both to Bride. well for three months. A boy in the employ of Messrs. Vincent and Pugh, wine -merchants, of Rood•lane, was fully committed to Newgatr, charged with stealing a pint of port-wine and a pint of gin frotn his employers. Tne prisoner had been guilty of similar practices before, but had been forgiven. BOW-STREET. --(r HI S DAY.) ASSAULT ONTp UE POLICE. Two fellows, named Tuck and Simpson, were charged with violently assaulting tw o of the new police of F divi sion, in Holborn, on Saturday night. It appears that the two defendants were very drunk, and fighting. The policeme❑ went up to part them, and to take them to the station-house, when they fell upon and beat them most unmercifully. Tuck took one of the of ficers staves out of his pocket, and belaboured him over the head, by which it was severely lace rated, and whilst on the ground they kicked them so dreadfully in their lower extremities that they were incapable of moving for some time. Further assist ance being obtained, they were eventually lodged in the station-house. - Mr. HALLS said that lie would make an example of them, for such an unmanly attack he had seldom heard of. He then ordered Tuck to pay a fine of 40e., and in default to be committed for two months to the House of Correc tion, and his companion to pay 205., or one month's ina ptisonment. The defendants, not being able to pay the fi ne, were committed accordingly. HATTON-GARDEN.-(THIS DAY.) ATTEMPT TO MURDER. Ann Callaghan, an Irish woman with a very young child in her arms, was brought before Mr. LAING, charged With assaulting her husband with intent to murder him. John Callaghan said he was a porter, and lived in F eathers -court, Gray's-inn-lane. Yesterday morn*, about 8 o'clock, he was lying in bed, when he saw the pri 'ones, his wife, sweeping the room and putting on the fire; he then fell into another sleep, with the clothes tucked up well about his throat ; soon after he was awoke by some one removing them, and found his wife standing over him with an open razor in her hand; be caught her by the wrist, when the razor was within two inches of his throat. She then tried to get it into the other hand, and he roared out so as to bring assistance. This was the third time she had attempted the same thing. John Smith lodged in the same room. Yesterday morning he was awoke by the screaming of the prosecutor, and he saw the prisoner standing over the bed with a ra zor in her hand, and the prosecutor holding her arm ; he rose and attempted to take the razor from her, but did not succeed for more than twenty minutes, and till he was as sisted by Patrick Sheely, who lodged in the adjoining room, and was alarmed by the screaming of the prosecutor. He corroborated the statement of the last witness. The Inspector of Police said, that after the prisoner had been cautioned, she willingly said she Lad made the attempt because her husband cohabited with another woman. Mr. LAING inquire,' whether she was in her right senses. The prosecutor said he did not know, but she was troubled with fits of falling s'ck. The prosecutor not being in any way cut, the Magis trate ordered the prisoner to find bail. MA RLBOROUGH-STEET-(THIS DAY.) Jane Doyle, a notorious character, was charged with robbing one of her own countrymen, Paddy Rourke, of fifteen shillings. Paddy stated, that he met the prisoner on Saturday night, and was prevailed upon to accompany her to a bro. thel, where she very soon contrived to take from his pocket the remains of the wagts he had an boor or two be fore received, amounting to 15s. He afterwards called in a police constable and gave her into custody. Constable 52, division C, staters, that as be was taking her to th e s t a ti on -h ouse , s h e s t renuous l y d en i e d ro bbi ng ~, ; but upon the witness telling her it would be far better to give up the man's money, she pulled two half !'oviiss out of her stockings, and gave them to him, saying that Was all she bad ; however, another shilling was found oil her at the station-house. The prisoner declared, that all the money she had was given her by Paddy, by w a y o f " compliment." She was remanded. Mary Lewis was also remanded on a charge of utter ing a counterfeit crown-piece.

Another of the convicts in the Penitentiary died this morning of th e cholera inorbus, An i nquest Will be held on the body this evening. The harvest is now general throughout the West Riding ; the fields have a luxuriant appearance, the crops are unprecedently large, and if we are favoured with anoth er fortnight of fine weather nearly all will be safely tethered into the garner. Our accounts from the North represent the harvest there has progressing favourably. In L incolnshire the corn is quite ripe, and if a sufficiency of Lauds' can be got, it will be seedil 3 . l er ury p y secured.— Sheffield William Tilley, who had formerly been one of the city police, hut who hid been discharged nn account of his drunken habits, was charged by police No. 28 with being drunk and disorderly yesterday morning. Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER discharged the prisoner, after severely reprimanding him, telling him that if he was placed in the same situation again he should be sent to Bridewell. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The past week's arrivals of English grain were moderate; of Irish Oats considerable, and of Flour tolerably fair. Through out the week the trade for every article was under great depres sion, and most articles met very little sale. This morning there was again a good supply of new Wheat, for which 2s. to 3s. per quarter reduction was taken ; but the trade was rather more free than on Friday, and there was some demand for very fine old Wheat. In Barley, Beans, and Peas there is no variation from the terms of this day se'nnight, but each met a dull sale. Oats are heavy i n di spos a l, and may be reported again Is : per quarter cheaper. The Flour trade is dull at last week's quotations. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP.

Consider able quantities of barley, and in some instances of wheat, have already been cut down. The crop everywhere is most abundant, and promises to be of the best quality. _Elgin Courier. A convincing proof of the bountiful growth of bread corn in this neighbourhood at present is, that in the short di s t ance o f a m il e an d a half on the turnpike road, between Fishbourne Green and Hambrook Mill, forty six new wheat ricks may be counted.—Plymouth Herald. The gratifying fact, that 7,024 electors have given in their claims for registration will insure for Glas gow popular Members, if the friends of liberty act with ordinary discretion. But for the assessed taxes, ,and the varying rates of licenses for selling spirits, the number would have been greatly increased, and the popular will made still more manifest.— Glasgow Chronicle. Extract of a letter from Shetland :—" On the lith ult. our poor country suffered severely from a storm. Upwards of a hundred men were cast away while prose cuting the fishing, and now many helpless widows and numberless orphans are left to deplore their melancholy loss."

BRIDGMAN, who, during the latt er part of the reign of GEORGE the Third, was Court N ewsman, expired suddenly at the Cat and Bagpipes public-house, at the corner of Downing-street. BRIDGMAN was well known about the town from his singular appearance, being of very short stature, and inyariably carrying with him a huge walking stick, and a riticule basket. He was an ex cellent po e t, an d f or severa l years p as t was designated the " Poet Laureat of Westminster." Several of the news. paper offices allowed hi m a wee kly pension for his form er services, as also did several gentlemen in the Treasury. On the King's birth-day the old gentleman always cele brated the occasion by illuminating the window of his back town with a few lamps, which frequently gave offence to the other lodgers in the house, and was frequently the cause of litigation at Queen-square Police-office between the parties. He was in his 80th year, and has left a wife about his!iwn age, but no children. An inquest will be held on his body this evening at seven o'clock. COURT CIRCULAR. Their MAJESTIES left the Palace at St. James's about half-past five o'clock on Friday afternoon, in a carriage And four, on their return to the Palace at Windsor. Prince GEORGE of Cambridge, accompani e d by his Pre ceptor, left town for Windsor about an hour previous to their MAJESTIES. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND honoured the Dowager Marchioness of LANSDOWNE with their company at dinner on Friday evening, at her Ladyship's seat, Wry comb Lodge, Campden Hill.

His Lordship left town on Saturday morning foi Northamptonshire. Mr. CHARLES E. DOUGLAS has ken appointed King if Arms of the lonian Order of St. Michael and St. George. THEIR MAJESTIES. (From the Windsor Express of Saturday.) Thursday, the KING and QUEEN, with the Duke, Duchess, and Prince GEORGE of Cumberland, the Princess AUGUSTA, and several of the distinguished suite, left the Castle for Bushy Park, - where they dined. Their MA JESTIES and suite returned to Windsor in the evening; the Duke, Duchess, and Prince GEORGE of Cumberland remaining at Kew. All is perfectly quiet for a time at the Castle. There is no company, and, excepting the Master of the Horse, who comes down on Monday, none is expected. St. George's Hall and the other room•, which w.re closed temporarily (or the late fetes, are again open to the public. Their MAJESTIER and the Royal Family will he present at Egham Races this year. It is expected that, should the weather prove favouraCle, the Court will attend each (lay's sport. The KING and QUEEN both remain in excellent health. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER is considerably better than ,he was the beginning of the week, although her Royal Highness is still inconvenienced, we regret to say, by a constant pain in the side. The KING goes to town on Friday to hold a levee, and will return to Windsor in the evening. This morning, about eleven o'clock, the KING drove out m inspect Flemish Farm in the neighbourhood of the Grea'. Park. This afternoon the KING and QUEEN took an airing.

A ball was given last evening at the Rotunda of the Montpellier Spa, which was attended by between three and four hundred of the Nobility and Gentry, who are now residing here. Dancing commenced soon after nine o'clock, and continued till after half-past eleven. The floor was chalked for four sets of quadrilles. In the centre of the orchestra, which was covered with crimson drape ries, was a large vase (copied from the celebrated Warwick vase), with a smaller vase on each side, filled with plants. Waltzes and quadrilles were danced alternately. The hand consisttll of fourteen excellent performers. Among the company were the Duke and Duchess of St. ALBANS, Lord and Lady BEAUCLERK, Lord and Lady Ronlav, Sir C. MORGAN and family, Count DE WALEWSEI (a Po lish Nobleman, who arrived here on Wednesday), &c. The first morning the Duchess of ST. ALBANS called for the overture to Fra Diavolo, which gave Mr. JEN KINs an opportunity of displaying the extraordinary effect which he produces on the side drum. The Duchess sub scribed two sovereigns to the band. This morning the Duchess was present at the Promenade, when the baud played the same overture, and the march in Oberon, com posed by WEBER. The band was ably led by Mr. Mußrnv. Her Grace again subscribed two sovereigns. Captain Cazoo gave a grand dinner party yesterday, to meet the Duke and Duchess of ST. Ausittis.

The E irl of COVENTRY, and Mr. and Mrs. CAMAC, of London, have arrived. PARLIAMENTARY PLEDGES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. beg to call your attention to the combination or conspiracy of those who would be Members of Parlia ment against giving pledges ; and as they are supported by the generality of the Aristocracy, and backed by the pecuniary qualification requisite to become Members, they have obviously the advantage over the people, his strange that such infatuation should prevail amongst those who profess to be the wisest and most learned of the com munity. If they think the people are to be thus duped, they are most egregiously mistaken. Should the people find the fond hopes alley had calculated on from the pass ing of the Reform Bill blasted, there is not a question but that they will turn the mighty engine, the National Debt, against their proud oppressors. The late stoppage of taxes and demand for gold is sufficient to show what might be accomplished by the united efforts of a great and suffer ing people. According to the law, the House of Com mons, or third estate of the realm, is to represent the people, the Members whereof a re th ere f ore t h e i r dele gates; now if the delegates refuse to obey the instructions, or refuse to pledge themselves to, the people, how is it pos sible that they can represent the people ? They stand upon the brink of a precipice, and had better quit with a good grace, as the people will assuredly triumph. In the event of an upset, as to the poorer class being the first to suffer, it is absurd. Hunger knows no law, and the strongest party will help themselves to the provisions of the land, until the social edifice is based on a solid founda tion.--1 am, Sir, yours, VERITAS. I Bradford, Wilts, Aug. 24. BRADFORD POLITICAL UNION. (FROM A cORREsrONDENT.) At a meeting of the Bradford Political Union on Wed nesday last, the number of voters for the county in the Union who had registered was found to be about 100. It was also ascert lined that the majority of county voters in the hundred had promised to be guided in their votes by the Union, and for the present to pledge themselves to no party. There are two Reformers at present in the field, Paul Methuen, Eqq., and Sir John Dugdale Astley, Bart., one of the present Members for Wilts ; an anti in the person of T. H. S. B. Esteourt, Esq., son of the Member for the University of Oxford, is also talked of, hut without much chance of success. The address of the two former gen tlemen, with the exception of the slave question, is consi dered as yet to he too general, no explicit promise being made on any of the great measures which the people na turally expect from the Reformed Parliament. It was moved in the Union that these two gentlemen should be written to, to know their sentiments on trien nial Parliaments, &e. ; but from the circumstance of the hundreds of Bradford and Melksham having the two largest towns in the district, (viz. Bradford and Trow bridge, within three miles of each other,) and supposed to have a majority of the registered votes in the district, it was considered that they would receive a personal visit from them, when it was resolved that the necessary expla nations should be deferred. An address is about to be circulated by the Union, call ing upon the electors of the northern district not as yet to pledge their votes, but to form Election Committees or Unions, so as to be able to act upon any emergency. Navigation is entirely interrupted on the Upper Seine and the Marne, in consequence of the drying up of the streams supplying them.—Le TOWER OF LONDON.—An aged Pole, alike celebrated for his love of his country and of literature, himself a distinguished writer, and late President of the Academy of Arts of Poland, the Count NIEMEIVICZ, who was sent over to England by his country, when his noble fellow -countrymen began their glorious, but, in the end, unfortunate struggle with the Autocrat, came to this place, on my invitation, some short time ago, to see the curiosi ties it contains, the armouries, &c. Upon entering the large armoury, in which are deposited between 200,00 0 and 300,000 stand of arms, he stopped, and turning to me, the tears in his eyes, he exclaimed with a subdued energy of manner, which was very touching—" Would to GOD that these arms, which are here useless, were in the hands of my poor countrymen !" It was the noble senti ment of a man who, in his youth, fought by the side of kosetusico, but to whom, in these latter days of struggle, age and his superior wisdom have prescribed rather the use of his abilities (alas ! used but in vain !) to procure the aid of England, than the strength of his arm, which is DO longer what it was.-- Times Correspondent. ELECTIONEERING AT SOUTH SHIELDS, (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NEWCASTLE, AUG. 21. Yesterday at noon, Mr. George Palmer, the shipowner of London, made his entry into South Shields, as a can didate to represent the borough in Parliament. He is a Tory, and places his reliance on his opposition to the sys 'em of free trade. The reception he met with was worthy of his principles. It was singularly contrasted with the triumphant and glorious reception given by the inhabitants between 7 and 8 o'clock the same evening to the Reform candidate, William Gowan, Esq., also from London. The populace met him and his friends between Jarrow and South Shields, with a procession attended with bands of ,nusic, and a great number of white banners, bearing ippropriste inscriptions. On his arrival at the Market place, Mr. Gowan addressed the multitude from the steps of the Town-hall. He stated his principles in a most manly way, avowing his anxious desire to see the China and India trade thrown Open, his determination if elected to advocate triennial Parliament, a revision of the corn laws, and a thorough Reim min Church and State. He was anxious that tithes should be abolished, but that compensation should be made to parties where justice required it. After Mr. Gowan had finished his address, which was most enthusiastically received, and interrupted by repeated cheers and applause, his friend, Mr. Detrosier, the secretary of the National Union, who ac companied him, delivered a very eloquent speech, in which be advocated the abolition of the Corn Laws, the taxes on knowledge, &e. and strongly recommended Captain Gowan to the electors for his talents and principles. The meet ing then broke up. 111 r. Gowan commenced his canvas this morning. Though there arc four candidates in the field, Mr. Ingham and Mr. Gowan are the only parties considered at all likely to succeed : appearances at present are, that Mr. Gowan will he the sitting Member. The LORDCHANCELLOR, hisamiable daugh ter (the Hon. ELLEN BaoucHam) and his brothers (Messrs. JAMES and WILLIAM BatmanAsz) are at present on a visit at Brougham Hall, in this county, where considerable improvements in that ancient mansion are in progress, under his Lordship's immediate direction. Lord BROUGHAM'S stay in the North depends upon circum stances. His time, however, will in part be occupied in drawing up judgments in various causes connected with the Court of Chancery, which were promised by his Lord ship at the last sitting of the Court. Miss BROUGHAM, who has from her birth scarcely enjoyed one day's good health (and which has been a source of the deepest afflic tion to her Noble and Learned Father) has of late reco vered very much, though still in a very precarious state. She is about 13 years of age. The venerable mother of the CHANCELLOR is, we are happy to say, in the enjoy ment of excellent health, and continues to preside with her usual alacrity at the tdble of th:.. hospitable mansion of Brougham Hall.—Kendal Chronicle. It has been ascertained that the future consti tuency of Liverpool and its environs, containing a popula tion of 203,000 souls, will amount to about 10,000 voters, The Tories appear to be in high glee at the difficulties which seem to arise in the operation of the Re form Bill, but they forget that as to schedule A there is " no mistake." Sir JAMES SCARLETT has been stopping at Lowther Castle for some days, doubtless assisting his patron in the concoction of schemes for the revival of boroughmongery.—Kendal Chronicle. The number of votes registered in Portsmouth parish for the southern part of this county is 94, and in Portsmouth about 600. The number of borough voters for Portsmouth parish is 374, and for Portsea parish about 850.—Hampshire Telegraph. It appears that the number of voters in the township of Leeds for Members to represent this borough in Parliament, as made out in the overseers' lists, amounts to 2.614. The out-townships will add about two-thirds to this number, making the whole about 4,soo.—.Leeds Mercury. CLAIMS REGISTERED.--Paisley, 1,260 ; Greenock, 1,039; Dumbartonshire, about 900; Ayr, 255 ; town and parish of Strathavon, 304. In Edinburgh, 6,664 ; in Leith, 1,298 ; Portobello, 229 ; and Mussel burgh, 270; total for the borough. 1,788; Glasgow, 7,024; Dundee, 1,742 ; Irvine, 216 ; Brighton, 1,475.—5c0ts Times. Numerous notices, in conformity with the Reform Act, have been already served upon the Clerk of the Peace for this city, to be returned by him for registra tion to the assistant barrister ; and such is the vast extent of constituency which the great measure will create, that it is anticipated none but popular and independent candi dates will have the most remote chance of success. The Conservative party are completely prostrate, as it regards elective influence.—Cork Reporter. The agent of a Conservative Peer in the county of Edinburgh called on one of his tenants, and said he brought a message from his Lordship, requesting him to vote for Sir GEORGE CLERK. Tenant—" I was just going to send a message to my Lord to ask him to vote for Sir JOHN DALRYMPLE." Agent—" lam afraid that answer will lose you your farm." Tenant—" lam afraid your message will lose his Lordship a tenant. He has got a great deal more of my capital already than he will ever get again."— Glasgow Chronicle. REGISTRATION OF COUNTY VOTERS.— We have the pleasure to find that 809 electors for the West Riding have registered their names in the township of Leeds, which is 137 more than voted at the great elec tion in 1807, when Lord MILTON and the cause of liberty triumphed so gloriously, the number of voters from Leeds then being 672. This is a very satisfactory result, seeing that many of the freeholders have now become voters for the borough instead of the riding, from occupying their own premises. The number of votes in the borough of Leeds at the county election of 1807 was 1,162 ; we should think they will not now fall short of 1,400, though the returns not being before us for the out-townships, we can only speak from general information.—Leeds Mercury. The son of an eminent banker, at the west of Temple-bar, once a regular frequenter of the Opera and all the gay scenes of this metropolis, has commenced street-preacher. Two or three times a week he lectures to the multitude in the neighbourhood of Charing-cross. Three days ago this ardent itinerant continued to harangue the multitude for more than an hoar in the midst of showers of rain, by which the pious Minister and his nu merous auditors were drenched.—Morning Chronicle. During the Consulship in France, NAPO LEON in a sentence well described the three Consuls. If you wish to dine badly, said he, go to LEBRUN; if you wish to dine well, go to CAMBACEREC; and if you wish to dine quickly, dine with me. LEBRUN was avari cious, CANLBACERES a gastronome, and all the world knows what NAPOLEON was.—Le Cercle. SALARY OF THE CHANCELLOR 700 YEARS SINCE.—The salary of the Chancellor, as fixed by HENRI' I. amounted to 51. per diem, and a livery of lilirror. We are requested to state that " The New Gil Bias, or Pedro of Penaflor," from the pen of the author of " Spain in 1830," wi:l be published by Messrs. LONG MAN and Co., on Monday, Sept. 3. Lord MILTON has, we understand, bestowed on JOHN CLARE, the Northamptonshire poet, a hand some house, with a garden and Loge orchard, amounting in all to six or seven acres ; and when this is considered, in addition to a small annuity—some thirty pounds per year or so, we are bound not only to praise Lord MILTON, but put his name down among the public benefactors to the muae. —Ath enamor. THE ROYAL ACADEMY.—The receipts for admission to the exhibition of this year were 3001. short of what they were last year. The sale of pictures at the Gallery of the Society of British Artists has been greater than in any preceding season.—Mirror. Don PEDRO'S agents, it appears, have no particular rendezvous for engaging men, but shift about from place to place. At the Old Star and Crown, Broadway, Westminster, no men have been enrolled since T hursday last. At present the applicants are more than treble the number of those who are approved of. At the Two Chairmen, corner of Dartmouth-row, between Gardener' s -l ane and Tothill-street at present all old soldiers are preferred. This morning, a vast number of men were sent from the latter place to a fresh rendezvous in the neighbourhood of Tower JIM. It is impossible to i state the num b er taken on since Friday, the business s done so svcretly and expeditiously. A musical amateur in France has c hallenged all the whistl ers of Europe to produce as muc h no i se with oneinstrument as he can make with his mouth. It is said, th a t h e i s coming to England, where be has been en gagedby the di rector of the French theatre.—Le Cerele. Two t rout, full of spawn, weighing about half a pound eac h , were taken on the 4th instant, out of the river nea r t h e town of Usk, and, strange to say, at the bottom of th e gut of one a large horse-nail, two inches and a half l ong, with the head towards the tail, was taken out, and half a nail of the same sort from the same place in the other fish. It is well known that the trout is a very voracious fish, and will gulp almost any thing when in search of prey ; but what fancy fish can have to swal low horse-nails remains for the curious to discover. Their is a blacksmith's shop near where the fish were caught, and into the river Usk the smith is in the habit of throw ing the sweepings, tec. ; the head of the nail was almos. as perfect as when made, the other was beginning to cor rode; there is no doubt but both nails must have been a long time in their bellies. The whole nail is in the pos session of Mr. .Leates BLYTH, Usk, and the part in an possession of the Rev. ARTHUR WILLIAMS, who caught both fish.—Bristol Mercury. ILLNESS OF SCARPA.—This illustrious ana tomist and surgeon, now at a very advance I age, has re cently recovered from an attack of illness so severe, that, by the last accounts from Italy, his life was despaired of.— Medical Gazette. The building of the new barracks in the Bird cage-Walk, which will contain seven hundred of the Guards, is proceeding rapidly. The foundation of another barracks contiguous to the former is now being completed. When the building is finished it is to be occupied by a brigade of Artillery. Turnips have not been cultivated in fields more than a century; but this agricultural produce now yields an annual return which probably exceeds the in terest of the National Debt.. Sir WALTER Score is the authority for the last. A Joint Stock Banking Company is pro jected at Wakefield. The success of that proposed to be established in Leeds has been such as to induce the provi sional directors to extend the capital to One Million, in ten thousand shares of 100/. each. Upwards of six thousand five hundred shares are already applied for, and as the directors purpose reserving two or three thousand shares, it is expected all the disposable shares will be taken this week..—Halifax Express. STATE OF TRADE AND OF THE CORN MA EICETS. --On both these subjects we have the pleasure to say, that the prospects are improving. The woolen and the worsted stuff trade in the West Riding are de cidedly better, though there is still much room for improve ment. This is partly owing to the gratifying prospect. of the harvest, by which Wheat was reduced in price in the Wakefield market 3s. per quarter last week, and 3s. more yesterday.—Leeds Mercury. THE HARVEST.—Owing to the continued fine weather, shearing is now going on rapidly with al most every farmer, and a very short time (perhaps in less than a fortnight) of the present general active reaping will bring it to a close. As in almost every part of the empire, the crops here will be more abundant and luxurious than can be remembered for a great number of years.— Carlisle Journal. SALMON.—A strange turn has taken place in the price of salmon ; on Thursday last, the bellman went round the town announcing the finest qualities for sale at four pence per pound ! Even at this price there was a dull sale, and the fishmongers say it will come lower yet. At the beginning of this season salmon was scarce here while selling at 2s. 6d. and 2s. 9d. per pound. The cause of this we believe is principally the difficulty of get ting them off in the southern markets, added to a m rc than usual large run of salmon lately.—:Carlisle Journal. Our friends of the trigger are now busily oc cupied in " closing rivets up" against the approaching campaign, which opens to-morrow week. According t all accounts partridges were never known to be more abundant. A gentleman informed us that yest,rday walk ing over some land within a mile of the Cross, he put up no less than four envies of birds, all numerous and strong upon the wing. Pheasants are stated to be equally plen tiful. From this abundance, we shall hope the game ven ders will be enabled to supply their customers at a cheaper rate than last season.— Worcester Herald. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SATUR DAY, AUGUST 25.—There has been a steady basin sa transacting in cotton daily throughout the week, the sales amounting to 12,550 bags. In prices generally there is little or no alteration. The discoloured middling and in ferior descriptions of Alabama cotton offer in rather larger quantities than the demand requires, and to effect sales a little reduction may, in some cases, hare been submitted to ; but, on the other hand, the good fair to good quali ties, both of Uplands and Orleans, are daily bt coming scarce, and realize higher prices. In Brazils there is no change. The public sales of Sea Islands went off very heavily, only 610 bags having been sold, and at a decline of id. per pound on the prices previously current by pri vate contract. The imports of the week amount to 22,375 bags. The sales of cotton are estimated at 2,500 bales, at the current prices of the week, and comprise 809 Brasile and Egyptian-, the farmer in Pernsms at 91-d- a Babies 7d., and Maranhams at Sid. and 7i-d. ; upwards of 1,500 in American descriptions from 6id. to Sid; Yorkshire Assizes commence on Monday next.—Halifax Express. FERRY INN REGATTA (WINDERMERE). —This regatta, took place on Wednesday I.st, and not withstanding the day was somewhat unfavourable, a goodly assemblage of people attended. The sports afforded a good deal of amusement, but were marred towards the con clusion, by the melancholy death of a man named Cowman, a boat-builder, belonging to Bowness, who was unfortunately drowned by the upsetting of his skiff, whilst contending fur one of the prizes. Every exertion was made to save the man, but without (ff,ct, as be was never seen after the boat capsized. Two young collegians nar rowly escaped the same fate, by a similar accident. Kendal Chronicle. There were lately found in the bed of Margy river, at Ballycastle, a woodcock's head and neck corn pletely petrified ; the hill and head are of the same colour as originally, and the joint of the hick of the head move: in the same way as when the bird was in existence. Thi , curious article is in possession of Mr. JOLLY, of Druma keel, near Ballycastle, who intends presenting it to the Belfast Museum.—Ballycastle Chronicle. On Tuesday last, while the workmen at the Brodie quarry, near Nairn, were removing the earth above the rock, they found the skeleton seemingly of a woman in a complete state, about 18 inches from the surface. As this is on the sea beach, and no habitation near it, it is thought very likely that the person was murdered, and buried here.—lnverness Courier. Some labourers employed in the drains of the Tuileries, near the Orangerie, lately found a great number of gold coins and other medals ; they appear to be of the time of the Roman Emperors. The workmen, without making the discovery known, took possession of them, but the police having repaired to the dwelling of five of them, there seized a great number of the found pieces. —Le Cercle. DEATH FROM DROWNING.—OII Tuesday forenoon, about 11 o'clock, a body was discovered floating in the sea, a little to the north of the stake nets on the beach ; and the life-boat having been put off, picked it up, when it was discovered to be that of a boy, about 12 years of age, of the name of WILLIAM HALBERT, son of a widow raiding in Gaelic-lane, who it appeared had been htthing, and bad gone beyond hie depth.—Aberdeen Ob'errer. SMOCKING AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—We regret to record the following very lamentable occur rence, which took place at Gordon's Hospital, on Monday afternoon, about half-past five o'clock. As ALEXANDER Ross, the eldest son of the contractor for the mason-work of the new buildings, was pulling out a plank from one of the windows of the old house, the roof of which is in process of being dismantled, one of the workmen, who was employed in removing the stones from the roof, un fortunately not perceiving any person below, threw down a stone of about 56 pounds weight, which struck Mr. Ross on the head, and literally crushed his skull to atoms.—Aberdeen Observer. CASE OF COLLINS.—There has been no dif ference whatever in the behaviour of COLLINS since hi. condemnation. He does not seem to expect to suffer the sentence passed upon him. The unfortunate man is of the Roman Catholic religion. Father SHAW visited him four times at Abingdon, and once administered the Sacrament. COLLINS says he prays night and day to Almighty God__ he shed tears at the time he stated it—but not through fear of death, but for the Almighty's forgiveness. He has not yet petitioned the KING to remit the sentence of death, but is about to send a petition to his MAJEsTy.--Berk shire Chronicle. COOK'S GIBBET.--During the whole of Sunday, the streets of Leicester, leading towards the gibbet on which the body of the murderer COOK had been hung on the p rece di ng d ay, were a complete scene of activity and hustle; in the immediate vicinity of the lofty post booths were erected, and there was a plentiful supply of ale, fruit, &c. ; in fact it was completely " gib bet fair," and we are assured by a gentleman of respecta bility, that there were people playing at cards at the very foot of the gallows ! and this too on Sunday! In conse quence of these circumstances, a representation of the an noyance was made to Government, and in corrphanee with an express order, the bltly was removed early on Wedra slay morning, and buried under the Cast!• wall, near the place of execution....Maccksfie/d Herald. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Portsmouth Herald o f S unday. ) PORTSMOUTH, Ann. 25 —His Majesty's cutter Silva, Lieut. Spark, tailed on Friday with supernumeraries for Plymouth. His Majesty's revenue brig Shamrocks, 16 guns, Lieut. Aldred, sailed yesterday for Cowes, Cork, and Dublin.

The Right Hon. the Lords of the Admiralty, viz.— Rear-Admiral Sir T. M. Hardy, Bart. G.C.B. ; Rear- Admiral the Hon. G. H. L. Dundas, and John Barrow, Esq. Second Secretary, arrived here on Sunday, at the George Hotel, on an official visit. Sir James Graham , First Lord, having arrived here two days previously. Oa Monday, at an early hour, their Lordships commenced vls siting the several departments of the Dock-yard, accom panied by Rear-Admiral Sir F. L. Maitland, K.C.B. Su perintendent of the establishment, Capt. Parltr, of the flag ship, Capt. Lillicrap, Superintendent of the Ordinary, Capt. Hastings, of the Excellent, LI., after which their Lordships retired to the School of Naval Architecture, , vhere a general muster of the workmen, &c. tuck place. Their Lordships also visited His Majesty's ship Victory, on leaving which they were saluted by seventesn guns. In the evening Sir Thomas Foley, Commander in -Chief, entertained the Board and the heads of the se veral departments to dinner. Tues lay, heine a holiday, no thing was done. On Wednesday their Lordships inspected the works of the new Victualling Office and Haslar Hos pital, and on Thursday, at an early hour in the morning, their Lordships visited his Majesty's ship Excellent, and remained some time witnessing the exercise and practice in naval gunnery, during which many shuts were fired with great precision. Their Lordships quitted the Excellent abcut eleven o'clock, and proceeded to the Prince, Capt. Lillicrap, where the Admiralty fi re was hoisted and a general muster of the Ordinary took place. On Friday morning Sir James Graham, First Lord, held a levee of Naval Officers at the George Hotel, which was most nu merously attended, and on Saturday their Lordships in spected the Royal Marines in their barrack square, in heavy marching order. Their Lordships will leave this port for Plymouth, this day, in the Lightning s steamer, accompanied by Rear-Admiral Sir F. Maitland, K.C.8., Superintendent of this Dock-yard. We learn by a letter from the Mediterranean, dated July 18, that his Majesty's ship Belvidere, Capt. Hon. Dundas, and Actaeon, Capt. Hon. -- Grey, were blockading Tripoli, in consequrnce of the Bey having refused to sati , fy certain claims of British merchants. His Majesty's Con sul at that place had struck his flag, and was about to proceed on board the Belvidere. The Prince Regent, transport, Lieut. Binstead, Agent, arrived at Malta, from Corfu, on the 14th of July, on her way for England. The Seaflower, cutter, to which we alluded last week, is about to be commissioned for the Portsmouth and Jersey station, in the room of the Cracker, TeWch will be paid off into ordinary ; Lieutenant John Morgan is appointed to command her. The Medina, yacht, the Wasp, and the Seaflower, cut ter, will be docked to-morrow. The Medina is one of the “Idest vessels in the service, being ISO years old ! The Wasp is to be converted into a 16 gun brig. It is in contemplation to discontinue the practice of put 'ing roofs over ships in ordinary. One of Commander Marshall's guns lately diqnounted, on board the Excellent, when firing. We had understood No many experiments had been made on Captain Marshall's carriage, as to prove the almost impossibility of a gun stetting out of the iron crutch. Such, however, is the fact ; we do not pretend to account for it. We understand that the whole of the remaining 10 !gun brigs are to be cut down, similarly to the Charybdis and Brisk, and to be armed t; ith a long 24 pounder to lire over all. Important alterations ore contemplated in the Dock yards, of which the following is a brief outline. 11 e workmen are to be divided into gangs of thirty men, in stead of ten as at present. One quarterman and two leading men are to be attiched to each divi s i on . Piece work is to be abolished, and day work substituted. quartermen are to have 7s. I Id. per day. The first lead ing man is to have 65., the second ss. 6s. per day. Tile ,vorkmen are to be divided into two classes, according to their ability and character; the first class are to have and the second class 4s. per day. We fear this latter re gulation will not be found to work well. The distinction will lead to endless jealousies. It is also said the store- receivers are to be discontinued, and to be replaced by timber masters. Ninety-eight shipwrights, labourers, &c., have been se lected for superannuation, in this Dock-yard, who, front ego or ill health, are unfit for further service. A tnajoify will be discharged on pensions, but some on gratuities only; the amounts, of course, varying according to the length of service of the individuals. By a new regulation, the blacksmiths in the severs Dock-yards will now only work the same hours as the other artificers. We understand that, at the expiration of the present contracts, the whole of the Tape in the rtspective Dock yards will be discontinued. The Comet, steamer, was unlocked at Sheerness on tl,e 18th inst. and proceeded on Sunday last with Sir James A. Gordon for Plymouth. The Sylvia, transport, Lieut. Wesley, agent, proceeded from Sheerness harbour on the 18th inst. for the Litt!e Nore, where she is now undo r quarantine, preparatory to her receiving on board convicts from Sheerness for Bermuda. The boat of the Tenedos frigate, in Sheerness Harbour, in passing under a ship's stern, on the 18th inst. filled and went down, and we regret to say a very fine, active lad, son of Mr. Nesbitt, carpenter of the Devonshire, was un ffouortunately Th d u r r o s w da n y ed ias t, l a ' h o e d a bodyc o ro o n f e e t s h e i n ir g h u ' c e e s a t s e ll ' a v7gs Lord Harborough's yacht Nymph, arrive• at Sheerness, on the 18th inst. A %roman, belonging to the Seringapatam, died on Tues • thy last on board the Tremendous, hospital ship at Sheer ness, of decided cholera. CHOLERA AT LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.-New cases, 158 ; deaths, 45 ; recovered, 77 ; remaining, 297.
