'ROYAL NAVY, kc: We understand that Rear-Admiral Sir Benjamin Hallowell, K.C.B. is about shortly to proceed on a cruize, in the Glouces ter, 74, which ship has , been constructed- on the plan of Sir Robert Seppings, of the Navy Board, with a round stern. Her complement will be increased to 400 men, by taking the crew of the guard-ships, and by marines from head-quarters. The object of the Lords of the Admiralty, in sending the Gloucester to sea at this season of the year, is to ascertain, in severe wea ther, what advantages are to be derived from the peculiar man ner of building ships on this principle.—( Hampsh. Chronicle.) Saturday morning the Active frigate, Captain A. King, sailed from St. Helen's for Madeira and Jamaica, taking Henry Veitch, Esq. Consul-General to the former island, and Commis sioner Charles Ross, C.B. and family, to the latter. She will return home again directly. On Tuesday the Racehorse sloop, Capt. Suckling, arrived from Plymouth, and returned to that port on Saturday. Yesterday se'nnight the Myrmidon, 20, Capt. H. J. Leeke, arrived at Portsmouth from the coast of Africa (having been relieved by the Cyrene, 20, Captain Percy Grace), to be paid off; for which purpose she went into harbour on Friday. She left Sierra Leone on the 17th, Goree 23d, and Port Prays 27th July, and St. Vincent's (Cape Verds) 3d August. Remain at Spithead—Forte. In the harbour—Queen Char lotte, Albion, Ramifies, guard-ships ; Phaeton, Myrmidon, Larne ; Apollo and Royal George yachts. On Thursday the Circassian, Wasse, arrived at Portsmouth from the Downs, embarked passengers,/ and sailed on Friday morning for Bengal. On Friday the Surrey, Raine, sailed with 150 convicts from hulks, for Ratan) , Bay ; and the Arethusa, Hayley, for the Cape. The Woodford, for Madrass and Ben gal, to embark passengers, was expected yesterday. On Saturday last the Ann brig, Redhead, master, arrived at Shoreham from Archangel, with a cargo of..tleals ' battens, and planks, for Mr. Buckwell, timber-merchant; of Brighton. This is the first ship which ever arrived on the coast of Sussex from Archangel, and is an instance of the increasing trade of the town. PLYMOUTH, OCT. 3.—The transfer of the Packet Esta blishment from the Postmaster-General to the Board of Ad miralty, and the removal of the Falmouth packets to this port, will prove a measure of considerable interest and benefit. to this place. Captain Fullerton, and another Member of the Trinity House, have been engaged during this week in giving direc tions for the building of a light-house on the west end of , the Breakwater, and the laying down moorings for the accommo dation of the packets. The Nisus and Revolutionaire are breaking up. The crew of the Richard, Hurst, from Ports mouth for Jersey, have landed here, that vessel havinc , been run down and sunk, on Thursday night last, by the Harriet, Garson, bound to Genoa.

CANTERBURY, OCT. 3.—The second Market Dinner for the season took place yesterday, and was well attended both by planters and factors. The market was brisk for good Hops, and much business was transacted, one factor having purchased to the amount of 80 tons before dinner. Prices were on the ad vance ; for one choice lot of Pockets 955. were given. Sou Timanx, OCT. 2.—The current prices of New Hops are much the same as last week, viz. Bags from 455. to 755. up to 84s.—Po&ets 50s. to 84s. up to 905.--but the demand is rather slacker, except tor fine and. good Hops. The venerable Blsitor of ROCHESTER, on the 3d instant, confirmed in Bromley Church, nearly 1000 young persons of that neighbourhood. Ills Lordship has also, in the course of the week, been holding confirmations and visitations at Greenwich and Dartford, besides other parts of his diocese. The crime of maliciously setting property on fire appears to make lamentable progress in Wilt shire. A fourth instance of this sort occurred on Wednesday morning, when a fire was discovered in the rick-yard of Mr. Bake, of Ford, about two miles north of Salisbury, and though an alarm was immediately spread, and assistance soon procured, 50 quarters of barley, 20 quarters lof vetches, and about 100 tons of hay. were de stroyed before the flames could be extinguished. Fortunately there was very little wind at the time, or property to the amount of several thou sand pounds must inevitably have become aprey to the flames.—(Hampshire Telegraph.) The Virginia Company, in 1620, sent over 160 girls, young and uncorrupt," and well recommended, to be come wives to the planters. The price of a wife at first was loolb. of tobacco, but increased to 1501 b., the value of which in money was 3s. per pound. All debts contracted for wives were ordered to have precedency over all other debts, and the first recoverable. It was this year also, in which a Dutch ship, putting into a Virginia, sold 20 negroes to the colony, Those were the first negroes imported into Virginia.—(American Paper.) A phenomenon of rather a novel nature has been reserved for the 19th century, already sol fruitful in extraordinary events. The lovers of Natural History will learn, not without interest, perhaps even not without some surprise, that the paroquets of South America have been re-produced in Paris, rue St. Dominique.—(Journal des Dads.)

THE THEATRES. HAYMARKET.—The Beggar's Opera, with the attraction of Miss PATON'S Polly and Mr. DAvis's illachealh, produced a numerous audi ence on Saturday. ENGLISH 0 PERA.HOOSE.—The season con cluded at this Theatre on Saturday last with the Opera of Gil Bias, the Farce of Gretna Green, a Musical Interlude, and Love among the Roses. On the conclusion of the Musical Interlude, Mr. BARTLEY came forward " in customary suit of solemn black," and delivered the following Address to the audience With respectful firm ness : " LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,—As the opening of a thea trical season brings with it hope, so the close as naturally pro duces regret. We met you only three months ago with buoyant spirits, and we now take our leave with unaffected sorrow.—For the first time since this Theatre was erected, we have had a fair, though a limited chance of attracting your notice, by the closing of the patent Theatres for thirteen weeks : we have thus been relieved from the oppressive burthen of the extended seasons, of what of late years were absurdly called THE WINTER THEATRES.' For this regulation, we (in common with the Haymarket Theatre), have been indebted to the liberal and upright interference of the present Lord Cham berlain, who has condescended to take so enlarged a view of the subject of public amusements (making the public accommoda tion his first object), as compels us thus gratefully to acknow ledge the weighty obligation his interposition has conferred also upon us. The Proprietor, Ladies and Gentlemen, proudly feels that the exertions which have been used to excite your notice, and merit your countenance, h ave , d ur i ng t h e s h ort period this Theatre has been open, been crowned with as much success, as the season of the year, and the remarkable heat of a large portion of a remarkably fine summer, could allow him to hope for. The novelties produced have been uniformly suc cessful, and many of them greatly attractive ; and it is with feelings of heartfelt acknowledgment and sincere regret, that 1 am now compelled, in his name, in my own, and in that of all the performers, to bid you farewell." This address was heard with particular atten tion, and was much applauded at the close. In justice to the Proprietor of this agreeable and convenient Theatre, it must be admitted that he had collected for the season a very respectable and able company of Performers, among whore were several whose talents would do honour to any Stage, and his activity has been liberally ma nifested in the production and embellishment of many dramatic novelties, which were attended with attractive popularity. Lusa THEATRICALS.—It was concluded on Monday, in consequence of letters having been received in town from our Patentee, Mr. Hmtnis, that the Theatre-Royal should he opened on Monday week. Madame CATALAN', and an Italian Opera Company, will commence the season.—Many excellent alterations have been made during the recess, and se veral new engagements formed.—Mr. TALBOT, we understand, intends making a to ur th roug h thi s countr y, and will not perform next season in Dublin.—Mr. M'CAE.Twir, formerly of Crow street, a very lively and excellent performer in light Comedy, will appear early in the season.—(Dublin Correspondent, Oct. 3.) Mr. OWEN'S SYSTEM.—A meeting of several gentlemen took place yesterday, at the European Life Insur. ance Office, Eden-quay, to consider the preliminary steps to be adopted for receiving Mr. Owen, who is daily expected to arrive in Dublin, and also for the purpose of making arrange ments for a public meeting, in order to give that gentleman an opportunity of explaining the details of his plan for promoting the employment an d re li e f o f t h e poor i n Ireland. 'The meet ing accordingly appointed a deputation to wait on the Lord Mayor, to obtain his Lordship's acquiescence, and to obtain consent to preside as chairman • and having waited upon him at the Mansion-house, his Lordship' received them in the most courteous manner, expressing his seal in the cause, and ready consent to call a public meeting, and to preside thereat.—(Dub lin Morniqg Post.) The KING has been graciously pleased to ap point GEORGE BALLINOALL, Esq., of Howe Street, Edin burgh, one of his MAJESTY'S Surgeons Extraordinary for Scotland. At the County Meeting, held on Tuesday, the Earl of Roseberry gave notice of his intention to move, at a subsequent meeting, that a Committee be appointed to take into consideration the present mode of striking the fiars of grain, and to communicate with any Committees which might be named by other counties for the same purpose; as also with the Con vener of the Conimittee appointed by the General Asssemlily of the Church of Scotland.—(Edinburgh Courant, Oct. 3.) A Gentleman passing through one'of the Public Offices was affronted by some Clerks, and was advised to com plain to the Principal, which he did thus :—" I have been abused here by some of the rascals of this place, and I come to acquaint you of it, as I understand you are the Principal." • CORONER'S INQUESTS. MELANCHOLY CASE OF POISONING. Saturday night, at eight o'clock, an Inquisition was held before TitoMAS SHELTON, Esq. Coroner for the city of London, on the body of Mr. Thomas Baker Goodwin, a re spectable jeweller. The jury were summoned to meet at the late residence of the deceased, No. 1, Skinner-street, Snow-hill. The Jury took a view of the body in the first instance. A re lative of the deceased wished that the wife of the deceased might not have her feelings lacerated by being examined, but the jury thought her evidence indispensable. The first witness was a servant in the family : Hannah Wickens being sworn, stated that her master, the deceased, was a goldsmith and jeweller. On Friday night, between nine and ten o'clock, her master came home. He had been out during the whole of the day. He went out to breakfast in the morning. After he came home at night, he took supper with a gentleman, who had been waiting for him. After supper he called to her to bring him some hot water, as he wished to take some salts, which he thought would remove a violent pain that he felt in his stomach. She brought him some water, and she saw him mix some rum and water, which was very weak. He used only part of the hot water for the rum and water, the rest remained in the jug. She did not see him mix the salts: After he had drank the rum and water, he went to bed. About five o'clock next morning, she heard her mistress scream very violently, and being alarmed, she ran up stairs to see what was the matter, and saw her mistress wringing her hands, in the greatest distress. She saw her master lying on the floor, at the foot of the bed. She heard a kind of rattlin r in his throat ; he sighed once or twi ce , an d t h en ex pi re d. There were no ap pearances in the room of his having been sick or unwell. Her mistress immediately sent for a medical gentleman. Examined by Jurors—She saw that morning a paper con taining something resembling salts. She did not notice the glass that was in her master's room. The hot water she took to her master was for the purpose, as he said, of mixing salts. Mr. Hurlock, the surgeon, came to her master; on his arrival, he said that her master was quite dead ; and he took the paper of oxalic acid away with him. Mr. George Mason, surgeon, Skinner-street, stated, that he was called at half-past five that morning to attend the de ceased, Mr. Goodwin. He found him dead. He had expired some time. His hands and feet were cold. He had been lying on the ground a quarter of an hour • and, from the statement' of Mrs. G., h e was o f o pi n i on t h at he died as soon as he fell on the ground. He had not been sick. From the appearance of the body at that time, helwitness) could-not say what was the. cause of his death. In less than half an hour afterwards he found, in the deceased's room, in a paper,,about an ounce of oxalic acid. The paper had been opened and folded again, i and he thought at first part of the acid had been taken out. On looking at a glass in the room, an incrustation was found at the bottom of it ; this was, at first, supposed by him to be sugar ; and he thought that some person had been drinking spirits and water, and had put more sugar in than had dissolved ; • but, upon tasting the sediment, he found that it was strongly im pregnated with oxalic acid, and was very pungent. Besides the incrustation, there was about a spoonful of liquid in the The and he was sur e th a t it was a so l u tion of oxalic acid.—. The usual symptoms produced by taking oxalic acid is violent sickness, and sometimes th.:4ernitting of blood. He could not tell that the deceased had taken' oxalic acid from the appear ance of the lips, and he could not open the mouth, the teeth were closed so tightly. The body had been subsequently opened, and appeared in every respect healthy, except the stomach, the inner coat of which was completely destroyed.— 'l'he appearances of the stomach were such as would be caused by the taking of oxalic acid. The chemical agency of the poison had continued its effect after death upon the stomach, and reduced it to a black pulp ; in fact, oxalic acid was so very subtle when swallowed, that its effects were the instant destruction of human life. Oxalic acid so much resembles salts, that it cannot be distinguished from it, without a close inspection. Examined by Jurors:—The paper containing the oxalic acid would contain, he thought, another ounce ) and in all probabi lity two ounces were purchased. Juror--Then I should suppose that the deceased purchased the oxalic acid for salts. CORONER—Did the deceased wear boots with tops, as oxalic acid is used for cleaning hoot tops ? Brother of the deceased—My brother did not wear boots with tops, and could have no use for oxalic acid. CORONER—When such deleterious ingredients are sold, the word " poison" ought to be stamped or written upon the paper by the vender. Foreman-_I believe that the deceased purchased the oxalic acid for salts, by mistake. CORONER—Does any person belonging to the deceased know how he became possessed of the oxalic acid?. Brother of the deceased—Not one of the family have any knowledge upon the subject. It is not known where they were purchased. CORONER—Was any food remaining in the stomach ? "Witness—None; unless it was dissolved by the acid with the coat of the stomach. He had never opened the body of a per. son before who had taken oxalic acid. . _ Mr. George Hurlock, surgeon, St. Paul's Church-yard, sworn.—His opinion accorded entirely with Mr. Mason's evi dence; he was present with him during the opening of the body. He thought, at first, the deceasedhad died of apoplexy, from his fullness of face ; but soon discovered the fatal cause on finding the acid. The paper in which the oxalic was found was not tied with a string. He should think that no respect able chemist in London sold oxalic acid (since the melancholy affair in Gracechurch-street) without having the word on the paper denoting its contents. He found no solution of oxalic acid in the deceased's room, except a little in the glass. A small quantity of weak oxalic acid Mrs. Goodwin had for her own private use. Co RONER—It would be very desirable to discover where the oxalic acid was purchased by the deceased. Surgeon—ln justice to the drug trade generally, he hoped it would be found out. No druggist or apothecary now would sell oxalic acid, or poisonous ingredients of any kind, without " Poison" being written on the paper. Brother of the deceased—The acid was purchased by my brother while he was out; it was a casual purchase. He used frequently to purchase salts when he was from home, as he was constantly in the habit of taking them. Surgeon—ln consequence of the fatal accidents that have taken place by persons mistaking oxalic.acid for salts, the sale of salts is greatly decreased, and if a person enters a druggist's shop, now to purchase salts, he repeatedly enquires, " Are you sure what you have given me is real salts; are you sure it is not poison ?" Mr. Merton, a Gentleman who had for some years been a particular friend of the deceased, was examined as to the state of mind the deceased, was in on Friday. Mr. Merton stated that he was in his company in the morning, and in the even ing also for more than an hour. In the morninghe complained of a pain in his stomach. CORONER —That seems to account in a great measure for his purchasing salts. Witness.—He saw him in the evening, and he was then ap parently in good health, and . very cheerful. He thought the deceased, at that time, appeared better and more lively than he had been for some time before. A Juror proposed that a member of Mr. Goodwin's family should be examined, as to whether the deceased had been dis tressed in his mind, or was in a desponding state, when Mr. Merton was not present to witness it ; such evidence would elucidate the transaction. At present it appeared that the de ceased had taken the poison for salts. The Jury, most of whom were respectable tradesmen in the neighbourhood, and were personally acquainted with the de ceased, expressed their satisfaction at the evidence that had been elicited, and they thought the evidence of Mrs. Goodwin, who was overwhelmed with grief at the melancholy catastrophe herself and family had sustained, might be entirely dispensed with. Juror.—Did the deceased, before he expired, say of whom he purchased what he took to be salts ? Surgeon Hurlock—Mrs. Goodwin informed him that she was awoke by the groans of her husband in excessive pain, and that before she had time to call for assistance, he was speechless and dying ; therefore it was impossible that he could have in formed any one. The ConoxE a. proceeded to sum up the evidence, and to com ment thereupon ; previously to which, he expressed his plea sure that the evidence of Mrs. Goodwin was not thought neces sary, for it was improper that the feelings of a distressed person should be unnecessarily wounded. After the evidence of the medical gentleman, no one present in his opinion could doubt that the deceased's death was caused by his taking oicalic acid ; and it was for the Jury to determine the question whether he had taken it knowing it to be a poison, or in mis take for Epsom salts. From the state of mind that the deceased was stated to be in on Friday night, it did not appear that he at that time harboured in his bosom designs against his own life; and his calling for hot water, and saying it was for the purpose of mixing salts. was strong evidence to spew that he really thought the oxalic acid was salts ; and he thought thsre could be little doubt of his having purchased the noxious ingre. dients for Epsom salts. The Jury consulted for a short time, and returned a verdict— " Died from taking oxalic acid in mistake for Epsom salts." It was proposed to add to the verdict, " and which said ox alic acid was sold to the deceased by mistake for Epsom salts ;" but the proposition was rejected, as no evidence that related to the purchase of the article had been brought forward. SUICIDES. On Saturday an Inquisition was held at the Spread Eagle, in Charles street, Middlesex Hospital, before T. STIRLING, Esq. on the body of Mr.. George Hassan, a reSpectahb tradesman, aged 72, who was found dead on Friday last. Mr. Win. Hassan; the son of the deceased, deposed, that while his father was working at the Duke of Buckingham's mansion at Stow; in January last, he was seized with a fit of epilepsy, and fell under a stove by which he was very much burnt, since which period the deceased has been under the care of Dr. Jordan and other surgeons, who had lately applied caustic to his back to pre vent the wound spreading ; and they were going to apply the blue-stone the morning he was discovered dead.. On Friday morning, about seven o'clock, he went i nto the deceased's bed-room, and found his father suspended in a very singular manner ; he had taken the tongs and poker from the parlpur, and two sticks which he fastened together with a silk hand kerchief; these he placed across a chest of drawers and a corner cupboard, and suspended himself to it by a binder...4._ Witness instantly called assistance ; the deceased was quite dead. During the whole of this witness's testimony, he ap peared very much distressed. The Jury, after viewing the body, returned a strdict-- " That the deceased hung himself; being at the time in a state of temporary mental derangement." •At half-past three o'clock on. Saturday 'an Inquisition was taken at the Green Mar.,•Ship-yard, Temple-bar, before Mr- AIGGS, Deputy Coroner, on the body of Elizabeth Paterson. Mr. James Powell, of Surrey-street, Strand, surgeon, stated that he was informed•deceased had died in a fit ; but from what' he had heard subsequently, he was led to believe that the de ceased had, from the too free use of spiritous liquors, so com pletely destroyed the tone and action of the digestive organs, as to accclerate if not cause her death. Michael Patterson, of No. 23, Ship-yard, fruiterer, stated that he was the husband of the deceased, who was 52 years of age; that she had been in the daily habit of getting drunk for years past ; that she had not been sober three days in the last six months • and so inveterate was the habit of dri n ki ng she acquired, that she would dawn any thing she could lay, her hands upon ; and then, resorting to the gin-shop, drink until she had'spent all her money. On Thursday morning she drank a quantity of water, which her stomach rejected ; at about half past ten deceased became worse, and witness, at her desire, fetched her-a gill of Cape wine; she drank one glass of it, but as she was carrying the second to her lips, she appeared as if she was going into a fit; and putting the glass sharply down upon the table, she struggled, and fell back upon the bed; she became violently convulsed, and expired. 'John Crocker, landlord of the house in which deceased lived, corroborated the preceding witness as to the general intoxication of the deceased. M. limos summed up the evidence, and the following ver dict was recorded :—" Died from the effects of continual intoxi cation." At 8 o'clock an Inquisition was taken at the King's Arms, Green-street, Grosvenor-square, before Mr. FfiGG's, on the body of Martha Barnsly, a young woman 18 years of age. Frances Chambers, of 48, Green-street, examined—l have known the deceased about two months; I took her into my lodgings out of compassion; she told me that her mother was continually in a state of intoxication, that she frequently beat her, and turned her out of doors. She was a ve ry s t ea dy, goo d girl; she was sickly, and often low-spirited ; she was sometimes sullen, On Friday afternoon I went into Oxford-street, leav ing the deceased at home ; as I was returning I met her, and asked her why she came out; she said she was going a little way for a walk. I then asked her where she was going; she replied,. no where in particular. I shortly after went home, and after I had been a few minutes in my bed-room the deceased returned, and went into the bed room adjoining the parlour on the first floor. She was retching in a d,readful manner. I sent for a surgeon, and on his arrival he desired that the deceased should be put to bed. 'We accordingly undressed her, and found in her pocket a phial with some laudanum in it. In the course of the evening the deceased's mother came into the room, but the deceased made a sign with her hand for her to go, and expressed her dislike to seeing her. From the time of her taking the poi son till she died deceased was sensible. A few minutes before she expired, she exclaimed, " Oh, my God! where am I going?" Mr. John Todd, .of No. 216, Oxford-street.—.l was sent for to attend the deceased ; when I went into the room she was vo . - miting excessively; 1 was shewn a cup, in which there was a small quantity of fluid, which I tasted, and found to be a di lution of oxalic acid in laudanum. I immediately sent fur an emetic and administered it to the deceased, but with great diffi culty, the throat being considerably swelled. She died in the course of the night. I have examined the body, an d h ave no doubt that her death was caused by taking a quantity of oxalic acid dissolved in laudanum. Mr. HIGGS said that it appeared to him that the deceased had, during a temporary fit of insanity., taken the poison which caused her death. The Jury returned a verdiet—" Poisoned herself when in a fit of temporary derangement." The Durham Chronicle has lately alarmed this neighbourhood, by stating, " that a smart shock of an earth quake was distinctly felt at .lannston, near Newcastle, on the morning of Wednesday,• 18th ulkaccornpanied by a lo u d noise, like distant thunder," and that chairs, tables, &c. were removed; and the head of a clock-case .thrown,•down by the violence of the concussion, &c. &c. Now we can assure our readers that this frightful statement, like some of the political delusions of this sapient Journal, is all " blarney." We have made most par ticular inquiry into the matter, and find that the waggoners belonging to a colliery in that neighbourhood, having received their pay on Tuesday 17th Sept. had a mind to make merry, and having drank deep they departed about 12 o'clock at night, driving their coal waggons, about 20 in number, along the waggon-way. The effect produced by the motion of these un wieldy vehicles, was the same as that which we daily experience when a heavy stage waggon passes our dwellings. They occa sioned some little vibration, and shook down some plates from a shelf in a house which they passed—and this was the Chronicle's earth-quake ! We did not hear the rumbling noise, and must therefore leave untouched the simile of the Chronicle; which poetically compares the rolling of coal waggons to the thunders of heaven ! Si'e really wish the Chronicle would be more circumspect in its publications, and not oblige us so fre quently to expose the non-sensical stories which it gives to the world. We expected, after the celebrated moon-light scene from Chester-le-Street, that it would have been more cautious. —(Durham Advertiser, Oct. 4.) BIRTHS. On the 3d instant, at Fair Oak Lodge, the Hon.
