Came down from the River and sailed the Lively, Rubie, for the Cape of Good Hope ; Frances, Ash, Gibraltar ; and Wyness, Genoa', PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 17.—Wind E.S.E.—Off the port the Shannon, Dalrymple, from Dominique in 7 weeks. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 18.--Wind N.E.—Arrived his Ma jesty's ship Alligator, from the Downs ; and the Brothers, from Jamaica, for London. Sailed the Gillslancl, Whitburn, for Pool. • WHITBY, SEPT. 17.—Arrived the Volunteer Craig, from Greenland, with 7 fish, 105 tuns of oil, the l as t ship this season from thence., Mr. Secretary CANNING IS in constant daily attendance at his Office. Yesterday he attended at an early hour, and continued during the greater part of the day. The Duke of CUMBERLAND arrived on the 29th ult.at Ofen, in Hungary, from Vienna. There is a mistalie - n notion that Lieut.-Col. GORE, who was so honourably acquitted by the late Court-Martial, had a command the day of the funeral' of our late lamented Queen. It was Lieutenant Gore who had the command on that occasion, and not the Lieutenant-Colonel. ATELANcnor,v SuicinE.—Yesterday the follow ing sad catastrophe was discovered about eight o'clock in the morning, at the house of VILLIERS SURTEES, Esq. in Devonshire-place. It appeared that as the watclunan was going his rounds on the preceding evening, he observed the shutters of the house not closed as usual, and knowing that the family was out of town he kept a good watch on the premises, until the serjeant of the night came up, when he informed him of the circum stance, Who told him to remain there ; this he accordingly did, even after • the watch had left. About the hour above mentioned, S.;llars, Roberts and Toombs, constables, repaired to the spot, when to their surprise they observed, through the rails and the windows of the housekeeper's room, something lying on the floor having the ap pearance of a female. The constables instantly got over the area gatei and entered the room by throwing up the sash, when they, instantly per ceived the house-keeper ,lying with her face on the ground,' her arms were across, and a white handled knife, such as was used in the house, was by the side of her right hand, near her throat. The deceased was covered with blood. Two sur.• geons were immediatelysent for,and on their arrival they examined the deceased, and found that she had cut her throat ; she was completely cold, and the opinion of the medical gentlemen was that the rash act had been committed several hours. In the course of the morning Mr. Rawlinson, one of the Magistrates, being informed of the lamentable occurrence, repaired with several of the Officers to the house, and very minutely inspected every apartment in order to ascertain if any plan had been laid to break in or rob the premises, but nothing of that description whatever was perceptible,' the furniture was in its usual situation, and the property deposited in the closets and cupboards was perfectly secure. The Magistrate on leaving left William Hewitt, the chief Officer belonging to the Marylebone establishment, in the care of the house. From the minute inspection that has been taken there is not the least doubt but the act was committed by herself. A dispatch was sent off early yes terday morning to Air. Surtees, who is about 21 miles from town, informing him of the circum stance. The deceased was a middle aged woman, and had lived with the family about six years. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

RICHMOND, SEPT. 10.—This delightful little spot is at pre sent the centre of attraction.fQr many of our most distinguished fashionables. In addition to the rural beauties that at each view wesent a new and beautifully varied prospect, the Thames and its surrounding scenery forms a coop d'cril that at once delights and astonishes the spectator. The amusements in the town are certainly not numerous or general • but the Theatre affords ample entertainment. KLANERT,. the spirited Mana ger, has procured this season a Company of extraordinary merit who have all been well received by the town. On Wednesday' last the Performances, by desire, and under the patronage of, Lady DUNDAS and J. DAWKINs, Esq. attracted an elegant and overflowing audience, to witness that forcible and elegant production " The Provoked Husband,"—perhaps the best Comedy this or any country can bOast. The whole of the cha tact2.rs w,re well supported.—Mrs. KLANERT is a complete fae-sintile of Jenny Wronghead ; and Miss SYDNEY and Mr. KLANERT, in Lady and Lord Townley, gave faithful repre sentations of the gay and youthful votary of fashion .and the judicious sober-minded husband, who, desirous to reclaim, never, by unnecessary \ harshness, wounded severely the feelings of the woman whom he tenderly loved. The entertainment of the evening concluded with the humorous farce of Monsieur Tonson. Among the company we noticed—Lord and Lady Courtown, Lord Stopford, Lady Stuart, Sir David, Lady, and Miss Dundas, Lady Campbell and family, Sir Geo. and L a dy Pocock, Lady and the Misses Price, Miss Dawkins, Miss Durrell and the Misses Nightingall, Capt. Mangin, R.N., and family, Rev. Mr. Sandpit and faMily, the Misses Jeffreys, &c. NORTHUMBERLAND HOUSE.—The front of the ancient palace now attracts the eye of the numerous passengers. The architectural ornaments are restored to the original appearance, and the majestic lion on the summit of the building is made more striking than usual. The works in St. James's Park, fronting Buckingham house, connected with the grand sewer which crosses the Park from Piccadilly, are rapidly proceediing. The sewer is to be formed several feet lower than the old sewer. The Green Park is cut up in promotion of the work. . Among other distinguished fashionables at the Earl of Es sex's seat, Cashiobury Park, are . Lady and Miss Cornwall, Lady and Miss De Roos, Mr. De Roos, and Arthur Capel, E 9. Since the King's departure from Edinburgh, the Earl of Fite has been entertaining a distinguished party with the diversion of grouse-shooting, &c. at his sporting seat in Mar Forest. The following are among the number, viz. the Marquis of Graham, Field Marshal Lord Beresford, Lord Elcho, Sir William Elliott, Bart., Admiral Sir John Beresford, the Hon. General Duff, &c. NEW MARRIAGE ACT.—Doubts having existed as to whether the affidavits required by this Act previous to the publication of banns, should be drawn up on stamped paper, application has been made to the Commissioners at Somerset House, on the subject, and the following is a copy of the reply: Stamp-office, London, Sept. 14, 1822. Sin—l am directed by the Commissioners to inform you, in answer to your letter of the 12th instant, that by the Act of the 55th Geo. 111. cap. 134, Affidavits sworn before a Magistrate arc exempted from the StaMp Duty ; but Marriage Affidavits, sworn before a Clergyman not bein.i . a Magistrate, must be drawn out upon a Two Shilling and Sixpenny Stamp. I am, Sir, your most obedient Servant, WM. KAPPEN, Secretary. Mr. BENJAMIN CONSTANT is a very cunning as well as a very troubleyome character. This artful Swiss 'passed safely through the Revolu tion, and the Despotism of BUONAPAItTE, but he will probably meet with his deserts at last. THE THEATRE.—A new comic piece of one act was brought forward last night at the flay market Theatre under the title of Intrigue. The plot consists of the attempts of two Libertines, one openly tisipated and the other hypocritically moral, to seduce the wife of the Landlord of an Inn. The husband is jealous but the wife is virtuous, and in the end baffles the hopes of both the gallants, who had laid a wager against each other on their respective success, and the money deposited in the hands of the Landlord is eventually given to him as an atonement for the attempt. The Landlord and his wife were performed by Mr. and Mrs. H. BAKER, from the Country. They are both spirited performers, and were well re ceived, as was also the piece itself. The second Drama was Morning, Noon, and Night, and the last The Jew and the Doctor, and the whole was much applauded by a very numerous audience. MISS PAroN, who has so successfully displayed her talents at the Haymarket Theatre this season, is it seems. going to perform _NUB, in The Beggar's Opera. If she should be as suc cessful in parts of simplicity and pathos as she is in characters of a lively description, she will manifest extraordinary versatility. A new Mac heath, we find, is to appear on the occasion. RUBENS'S celebrated portrait of a Lady, which is known by the name of Le, Chapeau de Paille, recently purchased in Holland for 20001. and brought to this country, now forms an additional gem of art in his MAJESTY'S Collection of the works of the old masters. Two monuments voted by Parliament to Ge neral, FOO ft D BOWES and Colonel CADOGAN, have lately been erected in St. Paul's, the exe cution and design of which reflect high credit on the taste of Mr. CH ANTREY. DUEL.—A duel was fought yesterday morn ing on Hounslow-heath, between a Mr. MON. TAGUE and Lieutenant GRANT. A dispute ori ginated respecting a bet at Egham Race-course, when some horse whipping took place. Two shots were exchanged, by the second of which Mr. 'MONTAGUE was slightly wounded in the shoulder, and the affair terminated. AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 12.-;.-On Sept. 7, a bottle came on shore in the Commune of Zandvoort. It contained the follow ing notice :—" The ship Elizabeth Cornelia, commanded by Capt. Boss, offlleachy Head, in a good condition; all the pas sengers well. August 23, 1822." At Egmond-aan-Zee a bottle was also thrown ashore, con taining a paper with the following words :—" Please to take notice that this empty' bottle, with the enclosur'e in it, wa s p u t i n the sea, off the old Head of Kinsale, on the 22d of June, 1822, and whosoever finds it is particularly requested to publish where it was picked up in the newspapers. J. O'CONNOR." (Rotterdam:die Courant.) This letter proves itself to be Irish. POETItY. PARTED LOVE. " Thou wert too•like a dream of heaven For earthly love to merit thee." We parted, and we knew it was for ever— We knew, it, yet we parted : then each thought And inmost feeling of our souls, which never Had else been breaded in words, rush'd forth and sought Their sweet home in each other's hearts, and there They lived and grew 'mid sadness and despair. It was not with the bonds of common love Our hearts were knit together ; they had been Silent companions in those griefs which move And purify the soul, and we had seen Each other's strength and truth of mind, and hence We loved with passion's holiest confidence. And virtue was the great bond that united Our guileless hope in love'Esimplicity ; And in those higher aims we meekly slighted The shallow feelings and weak vanity Which the world calls affection, for'our eyes Had not been caught with smiles, our hearts with sighs. We parted (as our hearts had loved) in duty To Heaven and virtue, and we both resign'd Our cherish'd trust—l all her worth and beauty, And she th' untold devotion of my mind. We parted in mute anguish, but we bent Lowly to Him whose love is chastisement.. It was, perchance, her spirit had been goaded With suffering past its bearing—that her fail But patient heart had been so deeply loaded With sorrow that its chords were forced to frail : Sever'd by more than distance, I was told Her heart amid its troubles had grown cold. She rests in Heaven, and I—l could not follow; My soul was crush'd, not broken : and I live To think of all her love; and feel how hollow Are the sick gladnesses the world can give. I lire in faith and holy calm to prove My heart was not unworthy of such love. MONUMENT TO THE PRETENDER. In the vale of Glenfinnyn, at the head of Lochshiel, Inver ness-shire, a handsome monument has recently been erected, with an inscription in Latin, Gaelic, and English. The fol lowing is the English one : On the spot where PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD First raised his Standard, On the 19th of August lupcxxLv. When he made the daring and romantic attempt To recover a Throne lost by the Imprudence of his. Ancestors, This column was erected by ' ALEXANDER MACDONALD, .Lsq. of Glenaladale, To commemorate the generous zeal, The undaunted bravery, and the inviolable fidelity, Of his forefathers, and the rest of those • Who fought and bled in that • Arduous and unfortunate enterprise, • This Pillar is now, Alas ! Also become the Monument Of its amiable and accomplished Founder, Who, Before it was finished, Died in Edinburgh on the 4th day of January MDCCCXV. At the early age of 28 years. , • DEPTFORD-YARD.—The Establishment of artificers, &c., now upwards of 1,000 men, are to be reduced to 499, by dis charging 35 every fortnight ; all the oth er do c k-yards a re to be reduced nearly in the same proportion. A considerable num ber of clerks and inferior officers will likewise be dismissed with small pensions. Mr. WEDDELL, Clerk of the Check of Sheer ness-yard, is appointed to Deptford, rice Mr. MossE, and Mr. POWNELL goes to Sheerness. Mr. HAwaEs, Assistant to the Master Shipwright at Deptford, goes to Chatham, vice HILLIER. Mr. SMITH, Clerk of the Check at Chatham, vice GAINER, superannuated. „ BURSTING OF A STEAM ENOINE.—The following are further particulars from a Morning Paper : " Tuesday afternoon, about five o'clock, the inhabitants of the village of Camberwell were thrown into great consternation by a shock so tremendous that it broke the glass in many houses, and was by many considered as a volcanic eruption until the real cause was discovered. It seems however that it resulted from the baneful practice of using high' pressure steam engines, which has been so frequently reprobated. One of these engines was erected at the new glue manufactory of Messrs. Cleaver and Yardly, on the banks of the Surrey canal, at the back of Albany-road ; and when at 44 degrees it burst, causing a terrific explosion ! The whole north wing of the building was blown down by the shock, every one of the work men received dreadful fractures, and two were killed on the spot.—The boiler washurled some score yards into the air, and fell on the roof of the South end of the premises, which it drove in with great violence, and did great damage. When the extent of the calamity could be known with any degree of certainty, workmen were set to dig with the utmost promptitude ; the ruins having rather scattered than fallen in a mass was favourable, and several bodies were soon got out. They were carried to the Albany Arms,' where they received medical assistance im mediately, and 13 persons were sent to the Borough Hospitals ; two were dead, and we understand at a late hour three more had died of their wounds in the course of yesterday after noon. It is reported that one of the principals received danger ous injury, and that two children who had been . playing by the side of the canal, are still in the ruins ; but we could not trace the rumour to any correct source during the whole of yes terday. The loss of property is stated to be immense." TILE LUXURY OF PARSIMONY.—A person of rather singular habits, well known by the name of Dirky WI!- lan, has been in the neighbourhood of Witherslack for some years, and is at present lodging at Matthew 3lartindales, of Ulpha, reaping corn for James Thomlinson. He regu larly reaps, binds, and shocks, between thirty-five and forty hattocks per day ; and, what is still more remarkable, he lives upon nothing but meal and water. He takes with him to the field a small bag of oatmeal, and a tin can ; and when hungry, he repairs to the nearest pool or ditch, and then he revels in luxury over a new made can of crowds/. About three years ago he reaped for Mr. IV. Stock -dale, of Witherslack-hall, 42 or 43 hattocks per day ; his:diet meal and water, his bed the hay-mow. It is certainly worthy of notice, that when this singular being has earned five or ten pounds, he resorts to some public-house, and then makes merry with his neighbours till all is expended. It is not un common at these times to see a bottle of gin, a bottle of rum, and a bottle of brandy, all on the table at once, and the little man urging his companions to drink. When these revels are over, he returns peaceably to his labour, living upon meal and water, and sleeping in out-houses, till his purse is again reple nished..—( TVestmoreland Gazette.) , _ _ On Tuesday se'nnight some fishermen belong, ing to the port of Ipswich, who were trawling for seals near the mouth of the harbour, caught that singular fish the S'yealcs Sync line, of Linnteus, the Angel Shark or Angel Fish of Pennant : this name it has acquired from its rounded head and large sub_ quadrangular, pectoral, and ventral fins, which bear a fanciful resemblance to wings. It differs from others of the same genus, in having the mouth situated at the end of the head, other sharks having it on the under side: it has generally five rows of teeth, but the present, being a young fish, had attained only three, but rudiments of the others were visible—it has five spiracles on each side of the neck, and two spouting holes placed behind the eyes. The tongue is large and triangular, the nostrils bearded, the eyes small, and of a pale bright green ; the dorsal fins small, and placed near the tail ; the body somewhat thick, but taper. ing; the under side remarkably flat, by which circumstance it is enabled to pursue its prey, which chiefly. consists of flat fish. I t is a native of the European Seas, and is reported to be fierce and dangerous. It was ,with difficulty that the fishermen secured the fish in question, and one of them had his finger severely bitten. The ,fish, when alive, had the under side of a silvery whiteness, the upper of a rich brown, beautifully variegated with darker coloured. spots; when dead, it was of a pale ashy brown, and the spots had entirely disappeared : the length was four feet six inches (full grown specimens attain to eight feet or more) the breadth across tine pectoral fins was two feet eight inches—it weighed 891bs.—(Bury Gazette.) Yesterday morning a match took place in St. James's Park, between a baker and broker, for a bet of 20 sovereigns, who would run three miles in half an hour, and pick up the most stones or pebbles and deposit them in a basket to be carried by each. Having met upon the ground, a furlong was measured, and the quantity of pebbles required were placed at a reasonable distance asunder, 'but set closer as the person got hot. The baker picked up 260 in the given time. The broker then set to work, and in ten minutes under the given time picked up sixty-six. It was then held that he I;tid won- the wager, and he left off, but upon their returning home, the baker refused giving up the stakes, as he had not walked the required distance as at first agreed upon ; now it is doubtful who is entitled to the stakes, as neither party had run the required distance in the prescribed time.— The persons employed as umpires cannot decide, and unless the matter is submitted to arbitration, the match must. be rim again.

CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday morning an inquisition was taken before T. SHELTON, Esq. the Coroner, at the Board-room of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on view of the body of Wm. Gib son, aged 32 years, who came by his death in the following manner :—The deceased was in the service of Mr. Evans, a livery stable keeper at Hoxton, and on Suniay morning, about seven o'clock, was sent with a horse and chaise that had been previpreviously hired to the house of a gentleman at Kingsland.— ously hired to the house of a gentleman at Kingsland.__. l'he gentleman not being in readiness, the deceased was desired by him to take the chaise back, anti return again about nine. Instad of going back to the stables he staid drinking with some other men at a public-house, and became excessively intoxicated. He, however, managed to be at the gentleman's house at nine o'clock with the horse and gig, but refused to leave it till the money for the hire was paid to him, although his master had been already paid. He persisted in taking it back again,.and drove off as fast as he could, when in turning a corner very sharply, he fell from the vehicle, and pitched on his head, holding fast the reins, by which the animal was thrown down, and the wheel of the chaise rested on the upper part of the deceased's chest. He remained for some minutes in this situation, till he was extricated, and taken with all speed to the house of Mr. Bowen, a neighbouring surgeon. when it was found that his collar-bone was broken. Mr. Bowen attended biro foe 5 hours, and used every effort human skill could . devise, but to no effect, and the deceased was placed in a coach, and conveyed to the hospital, where he died about two hours after. On examining the head after death, a blood vessel was found to have been rup tured, and a quantity of extravasated blood was discovered on the surface of the brain, which caused his dissolution. The Jury returned a verdict that the deceased met his death by accident, at a time when he was in a state of intoxication.—O:l Tuesday, a Coroner's Inquest was held in the Bard-room of Middles‘x Hospital. It. appeared that the deceased, who was a plumber, met his death by a fall from a scaffold. Verdict— Accidental death. An inquisition was taken yesterday by Mr. Moos, the De puty Coroner for *Westminster, in Tothil-fields prison, ,on the . body of Mary Cavenagh, a prisoner, who died on the precetling (19, Tothil-fields prison. It appeared that about half-past nine o'clock on Tuesday forenoon, the deceased, who had previ ously been in perfect health, and had eaten a good breakfast, was suddenly visited with a violent retching and spasms, and com plained of violent pains in her inside. Mr. Nodder, - the governor, being informed that she was seized with spasms, recommended some warm water to be given to her, and ordered .that if-she did not presently get better, the medical attendant of tlie.pri. son should he sent for. Warm water and gruel were' given to her, but neither would remain on her stoniac'n;. nor did she get any relief from her pains. About half-past twelve, Mr. John Lavies, 'surgeon, of Charles-street, arrived, and find ing her pulse very low, and her extremities cold, ordered her some brandy and water, which she took. Finding her no better in about a quarter ofi an hour, he directed ,her to be removed into the sick ward, and some medicine which he pre scribed to be made up and administered. He then left the prison with directions that he should be sent for if any change took place before he returned in the evening. Before he gut home, however, he was overtaken by a messenger from the prison, and returning immediately found her dead. The body was opened yeSterday morning by Mr. Lavies, and Mr. White, surgeon, of Parliament-street, and presented nothing remark able but a slight appearance of disease in the aorta ; to which, they would not have been inclined to ascribe her death, but from hearing that the deceased had complained of what she called spasms of the heart, they thought it possible that it might have caused those pains and that affection which terminated in death. On examining the contents of the stomach, nothing likely to have proved injurious was discovered therein. Verdict, " Died by the Visitation of God." An Inquest was held yesterday, before TuomAs Stturcirr, Esq., Coroner for the City of London, at the Goat Tavern, Queen-street, St. John's, Southwark, on the body of John Bux ton, aged 17 years,'who was accidentally drowned on Sunday night last, by falling from a barge into the docks. The body was found on the following day. Verdict—" Accidentally drowned." A young lady, named Teressa Nowlan, was committed for having taken a hat from the head of Mr. M'Cormick, and ran into Pye-corncr• with it. When taken she declared "on her honouv it was only a joke."--(Dubtin _Purr.)
