He would allow I NC e to stand over for a week when the defendant 4t44"elaci or send a certificate supported by an each of her Majesty's ships. The motion of the Great Britain was diligently watched. A messenger came for men to take up hawsers and bring in the paddle-box boats from the distance of near two miles. The boat was presently manned and pushed off. It was too dark to see what was going forward. But soon the foresail was spread—the wind which had lulled veered round from south to west, and now a gentle breeze from the north-west came off the shore, and favoured the floating off the Great Britain from the beach. She evidently approached the Birkenhead, insomuch as to create some apprehen sions of her running foul of her. With her came the paddle-box boats, and then the crew of the Birken head to heave up the anchors. It was then made known that Captain Claxton had been forced to slip his cables and cut his hawsers, to escape being stranded afresh on the shallows of Dundrum Bay. To enable the men to heave the anchors they had been taken from the pumps. Meantime it was appre hended that the leaks being so great, and the accumu lation of water so rapid the ship would scarcely keep afloat. It was a moment of intense anxiety. The labour of heaving the anchor seemed to have increasd tenfold, and every moment begot the painful feeling that without help at the pumps she must go down. She appeared low in the water, and, in fact, the engi neer betrayed such misgivings as to require that both the Birkenhead's paddlebox boats might be lashed alongside for safety, in case of an emergency he seemed to dread. The anchors up, the towing haw sers were soon attached, and when she yielded to the paddle wheels of the Birkenhead much anxiety sub sided. The return of men to the pumps reduced the water mark. Fresh hope was excited, and Strang ford Bay, some two hours' distance, promised secu rity to the heavy charge. The sun began to dawn, and we passed St. John's, Lighthouse, when " Direct for Liverpool " was shouted from the sister vessel. On reflection, however, it was deemed by Captain Claxton, that men of whatever mettle, exhausted as they had been by the almost incessant labour of three nights and days, could not stand to the pumps, as it was needful, for the many hours ere the port of Liverpool could be made. The pilot provided was well acquainted with the narrow passage into Strangford Lough ; but it was very nar row, and the current very strong. The Great Britain was very unmanageable. She would neither lead nor drive in any steady course ; sometimes she seemed as if she would go right ahead and give the Birkenhead the go-by, had it been possible. Again she crossed her towing path to try the starboard side, and then, as if sulky under her restraint, presented herself almost broadside to the draught. The pilot looked aghast, and said, " The hawsers must be shortened; I cannot take her in if she yaws this way." At this critical juncture, near the shore, and narrow entrance to the bay, a thick fog came on, so dense as to render the land invisible, and the very sight of the huge vessel near as she was to be indistinct. The Birkenhead's head was turned to the sea, and Belfast Harbour was determined upon. This was made with all the speed that could be made with such an unmanageable floating log. Off the Copelanes, where the current is strong, the Great Britain seemed to set at nought her guide, broke the hawsers, and threatened great obstruction to every effort made in her behalf. Boats, however, were lowered down, and fresh hawsers being soon attached we arrived without further accident in Belfast Lough. The Birkenhead cast anchor, loosing the hawsers from the Great Britain, which was towed into more shallow water by the Scourge, and finally was grounded on the mud, which helped to stop her leaks. On the following day, with fresh hands engaged by Captain Claxton to man the pumps, the Great Britain was taken in tow again by her Majesty's ship Birkenhead, leaving the Scourge at anchor, and without any remarkable or untoward event but that of yawing from side to side, and now and then presenting almost her broadside, the greatest steam-ship floated gallantly and quietly to within about an hour and a half of the bar of the Liverpool port. The wind had now begun to blow fresh, the tide being at the same time very strong, when, in reply to the summons of a gun and signal, a pilot came on board the Birkenhead. The Great Britain, profiting by this slight alteration of the hawsers, began to be un manageable. Striving with wind and tide for her liberty, she broke the starboard hawser close to her bow, which recoiled with violence upon the poop of the Birkenhead. The line prepared to lay out another hawser next snapped like packthread. The second hawser and the second line soon shared the same fate, and with terrific rapidity threatened desolation. The boats were soon lowered and fresh hawsers were soon stretched out and fastened to the steam-ship. Now, one of the large beams shipped in support of the substitute for a rudder to the Great Britain, gave way, and falling overboard caused much anxiety and delay. At length, with difficulty, through the swell that had arisen and the increasing wind, we proceeded slowly, and with much apprehension, lest through any fur ther delay the present tide, together with all the labour, should be lost, the ship being wild and ungo vernable. A second pilot boat came alongside, and was eventually towed astern of the Great Britain, acting beautifully as a rudder, and facilitating thereby the entrance of the Birkenhead, with her charge, over the bar and through the channel into the Liver pool harbour. This service was performed after the rate of six and a half knots in the hour, including all stoppages, without loss of life or limb, and it may be said, with out injury, save a few bruises sustained by a few in dividuals of the gallant and indefatigable crew, and the Great Britain was triumphantly brought into port in the presence of thousands, who rent the air with their joyful and congratulatory acclamations. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN EYE WITNESS. Liverpool, September 2. GREAT BRITAIN STEAM SHIP. The following letter has been addressed to the Editor of the Times : Sir,—llaving written from Tyrella on the failure of the former attea.pt of her Majesty's ship Birken head to remove the Great Britain steam ship off the beach in Dundrum Bay, I now venture to request you will allow the particulars herein related, which cannot fail to be interesting to the public, to appear in your widely-extended journal, notwithstanding the much that has been already written on this triumph of British energy and skill. The " gentleman of England who sit at home at case " hear that " the Great Britain has been got off," but many dream not of the exertions made to effect the object, nor of the perils attending it. From some accounts published in this wonderful port, it might easily be imagined that certain persons celebrated for their success in such sort of undertakings had accom plished this great work alone ; that even Captain Claxton had had little to do with it, and that her Majesty's ships, with their gallant officers and crews, had been mere ciphers in its completion, and the Government hardly to be commended for the aid ren dered in this great national achievement. Far be it from any one to diminish aught from the merits or the exertions of the engineers engaged ; but ':e notion prevailing in Liverpool, that her Majesty's ship had been employed as a mere tug to tow away the iron steam-ship, as they say, floating and ready for sea on her approach, however trifling and absurd, ought to be completely set aside. On Monday, the 23d of August, her Majesty's ship Birkenhead took up her station for the second time in Dundrum Bay, about a mile and a half from the Great Britain. She brought with her two lighters, hich she had taken in tow off Carlingford Lough, and cast them off, anchoring herself and sending her boats to tow oft the lighters without loss of time towards the Great Britain, together with a party of men in aid of the operations on the beach. Her Majesty's ship Scourge hove in sight early on Tuesday morning, and anchored about a quarter of a mile outside her Majesty's ship Birkenhead. Her men were soon sent on board the Great Britain, contributing their welcome and much re quired services along with their comrades of the Birkenhead. These had been this day engaged in transporting the spare screw of the Great Britain from her deck to that of the Birkenhead, whereby the great ship was relieved from the weight of four tons. Next day the carpenters of the Birkenhead and the Scourge were busily engaged in making the tempo rary rudder and preparing the lighters for their posi tion alongside the Great Britain. This position was to be under large logs of woods stretching out from the ports, called outriggers, kept down by large tim ber shores. Others of the ships' crews were employed in securing the " camels," which, however they might have served as levers when filled with sand, were ill adapted to the work of lifting the ship as now ap plied; for, being neither wind nor water tight, they were most of them as useless as they were unmanage able. Others were labouring heavily at the pumps. The tide rose high, and it was whispered that the gallant Captain Claxton, whose energy is no less conspicu ous than his judgment, had determined, if pos sible, to heave off his heavy charge upon the hawsers and cables of the iron ship itself. Surprise and anxiety mixed with misgivings accompanied the announcement. The Great Britain, lifted by the lighters, camels, empty barrels, and rafts of wood, evidently moved, and very slowly yielded, and only very little to the strain employed. All was anima tion, hope, and joyful ex pectation, every heart re sponded to the captain's hearty Cheers. Darkness came on—a sudden crash was heard, as the falling in of a roof, and now a noise like the report of cannon announced the failure of the blocks of wood, the wedges, and the camels, which, bursting from their hawser bands, by which, under the engineer's direc tions, they had been too lightly fastened, became useless. It seemed, in fact, as if the enormous body with which they had to deal had surpassed their calculations and baffled their energies. The Leviathan, however, had moved above 20 feet, but she was yet deep in her sandy bed. At the ebb of tide her Majesty's ships' respective crews were again required, and their exertions were renewed as well in keeping down the water in the Great Britain by continual pumping as in repairing and replacing the various apparatus for lifting the mighty prisoner. On Thursday her Majesty's ship Birkenhead steamed quietly into her position as it had been pre viously occupied, and carefully marked by buoys, having let go both bower anchors and veered to 100 fathoms upon each cable. The hawsers, 400 fathoms, laid down on the former trial, were taken in through the stern horse holes, and on this occasion they were passed over the large paddle-box boats, each capable of containing 1 40 men, lashed together and placed close to the screw cf the Great Britain, to which they (the hawsers) were fastened. A fulcrum was so provided for the lever which the hawsers would thus form for lifting the massive burden they were de signed to move, without diminishing the force of the tremendous strain to be employed in dragging it from its stronghold. The signal was given—the bars of the capstans were ready manned, and they began to heave, but they heaved in vain. When the Birkenhead took up. her position the water was smooth as a millpond, the sun smiling upon the operation, although the light clouds upon the caps of the Morne mountains indicated change of weather; symptoms of a breeze from the south so much, and with so much reason, to be dreaded in this dreary bay, " moved upon the face of the waters." The rising tide lifted the lighters with their logs of wood up to the outriggers, and the rest of the varied appara tus ; but the Great Britain overwhelming these with her monstrous weight seemed to bid defiance to the means devised by human skill alone, although applied with steadfast perseverance ' • some power superior was requisite. The camels, which were water tight, were too large to be confined with the hawsers used, powerful though they were, and they bounced out of their strongholds with loud reports. Such as were leaky became waterlogged, and helped to obstruct the heave. The lighters seemed to slip from under their burden ; the blocks flew out of their places, some of the outriggers and their shores yielded to the pressure, cracking with a frightful noise, and the great and powerful, but steady strain upon the hawsers, by the purchases and capstans of t he Bir kenhead,' was utterly futile. The iron mass could not be moved this day by those means, added to the lesser, although more numerous, purchases em ployed in the great Britain itself. The signal, " She won't come off this tide," cast a damp of disappoint ment over every countenance, and of despair as to the result over the spirit of many deeply interested in the stirring event. The wind had, indeed, set in so fresh from the south, the very quarter fraught with peril to this shore, and of whose ravaging effects Captain Claxton had had such dismal proofs, that the apparatus could not be replaced for further trial on the next flood tide, and early the next morning, with the aid of such of the ships' companies as could be spared, and with care, as much as possible, to remedy the causes of failure in the former application of the lighters, &c., and the reduction of water in the hold, a renewed attempt was made on the part of her Majesty's ship Birkenhead with the rising tide. The dreaded south wind had brought in an increase of tide. The officers and ship's company of the Bir kenhead had made every arrangement for the renewed effort with a more powerful and effectual heave, such as sailors seem alone qualified to make. The power ful steamer was brought into her position again. The most watchful attention to the minutest points was observable in every . officer of the Birkenhead, each one in his place, aiming at the success of all that was entrusted to him. Not a word transpired amongst the seaman. Signals were agreed upon. " Heave" —" Heave with all your might"—" Avast heaving" —" She won't come off"—and " She moves." On the first signal " heave," the hawsers already on the stretch were hove with a steady working step. " Heave with all your might," was responded to by the increase of pace applied with all the vigour of the men, each vying with his fellow to lift the vessel off. She moves," animated every countenance; each eye sparkled with the light of hope, which warmed also every heart _with an inexpressible mixture of grati tude and joy. The hawsers came in nicely. " She is all your own, my boys," was responded to with cheers and fresh exertion. The great steam-ship obeyed the hempen calls of her iron consort. The weight again seemed all at once to increase, as if the sand had come in contact with the Great Britain; but it was not so. Her gallant captain, elated, as he well might be with success and gratification, had prudently cast his anchor, limiting the distance of the first movement of the leaky vessel to a point so near the low-water mark as to secure her floating with the next flood tide ; but still so high and dry upon the sand as to admit of an inspection of her bot tom, and such reparation as might diminish the in flux of water, and justify or not the attempt to float her on the ocean. The retiring tide exhibited the celebrated iron steamer, upright, high and dry, at once the astonish ment and the admiration of every beholder. Now were to be seen the carpenters, and every one else fitted for such work, with staves and wedges of wood and oakum, and grease, and everything that could he used with probability of success, stopping up holes, repairing breeches and stanching the leaks, i sv o hich w ere t err ifi c .

A CIIARACTER.—A Mrs. Davy, giving evidence to character in the case of a woman charged with theft, said she was " a decent, honest, drunken crature." EATING BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES FOR A WAGER.—Two privates of the Royal Marines, just paid off from her Majesty's steam-vessel Pluto, Lieutenant- Commander Low, at Woolwich, for a trifling wager com menced eating several 51. Bank of England notes with " bread, cheese, and onions," but were stopped by so ne of their more sensible comrades, who came up at the time, and compelled them to desist. Fortunately, the numbers of the notes remained unmutilated. The Pro metheus, Commander Hay, and the Phoenix, Commander Dennis, have just been paid off, and the seamen have been playing similar absurd tricks. Most of the sailors have received nearly WO/. each. ROBBERY IN AN OMNlBUS.—Yesterday information was forwarded to all the metropolitan police stations respecting a robbery in one of the Knightsbridge omni buses. It seems that a female, named Mary Brummell, of Guildford-street, Southwark, had been on business to some friends at Brompton, and when she reached the end of Sloane-street, she got into an omnibus, taking her seat by the side of a respectably dressed young man, who it was subsequently supposed belonged to the swell mob. She continued in the vehicle until she reached the end of Farringdon-streot, when she alighted, but to her sad dismay she discovered that her purse, containing two sovereigns and some silver, had been cut from her pocket by the person who sat by her side, and he got out when the vehicle reached the end of Piccadilly.

The official inquiry respecting the late explosion on board the" Cricket " steamer, now taking place, has been ordered by the Board of Trade, under the provisions of an Act which came into force on the Ist January last (9th and 10th Vict., cap. 100), entitled " An Act for the Regulation of Steam Navigation, and to compel sea going vessels to carry boats. There are four sections in the Act on the subject of an official investigation, requiring a report to be made to the Board of Trade of all accidents of a serious character ; empowering the Board to appoint inspectors to make a report, with au thority to examine witnesses, &c. It is the first time the Act has been enforced on an accident, and from its provisions much good may be expected on Steam Navi gation. SUDDEN DEATH.—Last night (Sunday), about half-past seven, a young lad who wanders about town and country as a strolling fiddler, went into a lodging house in Carrick-street, Anderston, and asked for some thing to eat, for which he paid. His manner and ap pearance at the time attracted the notice of those in the place, and they were still more surprised and alarmed, when, after attempting to swallow a few mouthfuls, he gave a loud cry, and springing to the door fell on his face outside. He was immediately raised, but only lived a few seconds.—/Vorth British Mail. DEATH or BLACKSKIN.—The Grand River Rapids (Michigan) Eagle announces the death of an Indian of that village, known as Blackskin. The Eagle says he lived to be upwards of a hundred years old, and has enacted, at the head of his tribe, many exciting scenes in his life. His hand first applied the torch to the city of Buffalo in the war of 1812. The old man, with the remnant of his tribe, has long been on friendly terms with the whites, and his death is a notable event in the history of his tribe. DEATH OF MEDICAL OFFICERS OF THE BOLTON UNIoN.—The death of Mr. Richard Robinson, who has left a widow and large family unprovided for, has, we lament to say, been followed by that of Mr. Henry Hat ton, a young gentleman only twenty-eight years of age, the medical officer of the western district of Great Bel-. ton, who caught the fever in the discharge of his duty, and sunk under the dreadful malady on Tuesday last. Memorials have already been forwarded to the Poor- law Commissioners from various unions, praying that pro visions may be made for the wives and families of those officers who have, or may hereafter become, victims of malignant fever caught in the discharge of their duty to the public, and we feel no little surprise that the Go vernment have so long delayed their decision on the m a tter.—Bolton Free Press. SHAKSrERE'S BIRTHPLACE.—On Monday evening the Metropolitan Dramatic Society, an amateur com pany of comedians, gave an entertainment at the City of London Theatre, in aid of the funds for purchasing the bi r th-place of Shakspere. The play represented was the first part of Henry IV., and the amusements of the evening concluded with the trial scene of the Merchant of Venice. The house was numerously attended, and the results are likely to form a handsome contribution to the fuhd. „,,A. c h , E 'NE DISPENSARY.----"''''"l--I-A-1—:- _ (THis DAY.) -- °f A qu a rneeting of the governors and trustees at tht ptitution was held this day at twelve o'clock, „IV, 4,Pensary house, Aldersgate-street. e•tted i,11530N, Esq the chairman, said that he trbee 44,aira t;',' the b e compelled to inform them that the so R(11/t1 a __e ,4411) feCllditio h tit tii ,, Illezin t: as their supporters could wish. 1 - Lllete r ,, Is convey that they were embarrassed, ettse-ord been for the last few years a constant en " Net Patients, without any corresponding ..

Mace is in sh ort. sup ply, and being wanted prices tend upwards. Cloves are not much required. SPIRITS.—To- day Jamaica Rum was only in moderate demand, but holders refuted to sell any sort, but' upon full terms. For all other kinds the market is in 0 dull state, and former prices are with difficulty supported. INDIGO.—Since our last report, purchases to :a fair extent have been made in all descriptions of East. India for home consumption, whilst the export demand has been rather better, but the contracts condo ded at PT present have been chiefly for the Russian market. There are few parcels of any kind on offer in the market. The demand it is, however, expected will continue to im prove, as the importation is less than it was last year, whilst the home and export deliveries are greater, prices are lower, and the stock smaller. Spanish does not im prove in value, but there has been rather more business transacted. CocHINEAL.—This afternoon there were 3 parcels brought forward of the new crop, amounting to 334 bags Honduras, and there being a good demand, the whole was sold at very full prices—very ordinary small and foxey, to extra fine bold silvers 4s 10d to 6s, very low to fine shelly blacks 5s 6d to 6s 9d, and extra large grain 6s 10d to 7s Id per lb. SALTPETRE.—In the valve of Rough there is little variation to make known, but the purchases made by private treaty by expoiters and the home trade have been limited, whilst holders are more inclined to sell. British Refined has met with less demand. In Nitrate of Soda several purchases have been made, whilst holders evince more firmness. Ou.s.—This afternoon of Palm Oil 155 eks at auction were sold at about the former value—middling and good 33s 6d to 34s 6d, fine 355, and low dark 32s 6d to 33s per cwt. TALLOW.—There has been little disposition evinced to operate in Russian on the spot, although there are sellers of fine new P.Y.C. at 46s 6d, and old at 45s 6d to 46s per cwt. An impression exists that prices will further recede on account of the large quantity there is to arrive. For delivery in the last three months of the year, there are few buyers to be met with, although at 45s 6d purchases can be easily made. Town Tallow has fallen in value, and the amount of business concluded has been to a small extent only at 47s nett cash, whilst there is a fair quantity on offer. All other sorts are dull of sale, and rather cheaper. At auction 19 casks of New South Wales went at 45s 6d to 45s 9d for good, and at 435 3d to 45s 3d for low and mid quality, and 172 barrels North. THE ASSOCIATION FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS DISABILITIES OF THE JEWS. The members and friends of this newly-formed but important association, to the number of about 120, met last evening at the Fishmongers' Hall, St. James's-place, Aldgate, for the purpose of celebrating its first triumph in returning Baron Lionel de Roths child for the City of London. The chair was taken by J. Mitchell, Esq., the chairman of the association. The cloth having been removed, The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the Queen, and in doing so, said that it was pleasing to look back to a not very distant period, when under the reign of the Sovereigns of this country certain por tions of the City of London were set apart for the dwelling of Jews, beyond the bounds of which they w ere not permitted to reside, and to compare that time of despotism and intolerance with the present, when there was no member of the Jewish persuasion in this country but was entitled to call himself a freeman, and who entertained the highest feeling of respect for that gracious Sovereign who now swayed a sceptre over the most extended, the most liberal, and the most civilised empire on the face of the globe. The health of the Queen was then drank in the most enthusiastic manner, as were also those of the " Queen Dowager," " Prince Albert, and the rest of Royal Family." The next toast given by the CHAIRMAN was that of " her Majesty's Ministers. There was no doubt but that great good might be expected from them, if they were powerfully supported by the public opinion of this country. He firmly believed that they were prepared to remove from the brow of the Jew even the last badge of slavery with which it was then de graded, and were prepared to carry out the important principles announced by the citizens of London at the last election—that of perfect and equal rights to all, without distinction of creed or colour, the just, the glorious principle of civil and religious liberty. The toast was responded to in the warmest and most enthusiastic manner. H. EMANUEL, Esq., the secretary, read a number of letters from noblemen and others favourable to the objects of the association, and expressing deep regret that other engagements prevented their attendance. Among the number were letters from Lord John Russell, Mr. Patteson, M.P., Baron L. de Rothschild, M.P., Sir G. Larpent, Bart., F. Goldsmid, David Salomons, Esq., Dr. Rafael of Birmingham. ISAAC LYONS, Esq., proposed " the Health of the Liberal Electors of the City of London, who sup ported by their votes the cause of civil and religious liberty at the last election for the City of London." The great body of the Jews, not only in this country, but in all parts of the world, were under deep obliga tion to their friends of the Christian nation for the course which they had so nobly adopted.—(Loud cheers.) They owed to them a deep debt of grati tude, one which he trusted would never be erased from the heart of the long-oppressed Jew. The toast met with a warm and cordial response. W. CARPENTER, Esq., gave the next toast, that of " Baron Lionel de Rothschild, and civil and religious liberty." In proposing that toast he congratulated the meeting on the result of the late election. There was but one drawback to the success of that measure which was, that they had only secured the return of three instead of the four Liberal Members. That loss was not, however, as had been erroneously stated, owing to the conduct of the Jewish body. It was due to them to say, that they had fully done their duty. At a late hour of the day of polling it was found that Baron Rothschild was lower on the poll than any of the Liberal Members, and it was then that, acting upon the advice of the committees, that Christians as well as Jews felt it to be their duty, not thinking that they were thereby jeopardizing the return of Sir G. Larpent, to plump for the Baron. — (Cheers.) He rejoiced to see the progress of the cause of civil and religious liberty, not only in this country, but in Rome itself, and the other kingdoms of Europe ; and it was a pleasure to see that the conduct of those who had had conferred upon them the just rights and immunities of citizenship had been such as not to make their friends regret the part they had taken in endeavouring to break down the barriers of distinction between man and man on account of religious creed, but had been such as to make them proud, and to recognise them as a part of one great brotherhood, offering up prayers to one common God and Father of them all.—(Cheers.) It was his fervent prayer that they might never live to see the revival of such a state of things, which had hitherto separated man from man because he happened to differ from his brother upon religious grounds. (Cheers.) With respect to the return of Baron Rothschild, he looked upon it as the triumph of a great principle, and he sincerely trusted that he might be made the instrument of working out for them, and for all, those great and important objects which were so closely identified with the interest and well-being of the country.—(Loud cheers.) The toast was received with the most rapturous applause. JOHN MOTTRAM, Esq., in a neat and appropriate speech, in which he took occasion to enforce the necessity of such an association as the present, and to defend it against some of the attacks made upon it, proposed " Success to the Jewish Association for the Removal of Civil and Religious Disabilities." LEWIS ISAACS, Esq., proposed " The Press," and acknowledged the services which it had rendered in " the good cause," and the debt of gratitude which they owed to it for its efficient services. Mr. MEAD returned thanks on behalf of the press. The health of the Chairman and several other toasts followed, and the company separated at a late hour. During the proceedings of the meeting a large number of persons present enrolled themselves as members of the association, some of whom bestowed more substantial marks of their approval of the objects of the association than the mere enrolment of ;heir names. theyful fully w MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

COCOA. —Although there are sellers of West India upon previous reduced terms, yet buyers have been cautious in their proceeding s by private treaty, and none has been offered at auction. We quote Trinidad red at 46s to 50s, grey 44s to 478;. Grenada 42s to 46s and St. Lucia at 38s to 455. Fo rei g n is little required, and 36s to 40s is the value of Para.

Broadfoot the acting and stage manager at Astley's Amphitheatre, takes his benefit this evening. The bill of fare is most attractive, but independently of that, the merits of Mr. Broadfoot, to whose talents and industry in devising, getting up, and superintending the gorgeous spectacles, which form the staple of the amusements at this favourite establishment, its patrons are so much in debted, are of themselves sufficient to secure for him a bumper.

THE REPRESENTATION OF Y AR MOUTH. Mr. Goldsmid has been very warmly welcomed sanguine the n that friends, and the Liberal party generally are he will, ere long, take his seat as one of the Members for the borough ; the opinion expressed in our last being a l mos t universal, that the present M must, on petition, be unseated. Mr. Rumbold, it is understood, has expressed his intention not again to contest the borough, but to retire into private life. Under these circumstances it let° b® hoped that a good understand ing and perfect unanimity will exist amongst the Liberals. We know of no two men who would better represent the opinions and feelings of a vast majority of the in habitants of Yarmouth than Messrs. Goldsmid and Bagshaw ; and we are convinced that they will meet with the cordial and united support of the Liberal party. —Norfolk News, r. .. d- ~.. . ~.... SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SCULLERS' MATCH BETWEEN WEED AND EAR- RisoN.—A very spirited contest took place yesterday afternoon between Thomas Harrison and William Weed, both of Bankside, Southwark. The former is well known as the winner of Doggett's coat and badge, about seven or eight years ago, since which he carried off the chief prize at Bankside Regatta, and has shown very creditably in two or three other trifling matches. Of his adversary, but little had ever been heard, but he had exhibited in the presence of . his friends such filre tensions as a sculler that they were induced to back bim on the present occasion, and the n 'suit has proved that his capabilities were not overrated. • The race was for 201., the distance from Battersea to Hammersmith.. bridge, and there were a great mat. 7 boats accompa nied the race. Harrison won the tome for choice of sta tion, and went to the Surrey side. it *lts a capital start. Harrison then jumped away with Ake lead, but his opponent was soon with him, and a moo.` - spirited race followed. They were close together, with . Wing alternate leads, up to Putney-bridg e , -w i htlia#e ,v wpm / nearly as level as at the moment of starting. Nrebbt then gradually drew away, maintained the lead, and won by a considerable distance. Betting was even. The ivinner, who trained at Adams's, the 'Red Lion, Hammersmith, rowed in a very beautiful boat, built. by Cownden. LORD JOHN RUSSELL. We have mentioned the report, now going the. round of the papers, that the Rev. John Dufton,, Rector of Warehorne, and author of an admirable. pamphlet on the education question, is to be the new Bishop of Manchester. We know not what truth: there is in it, but we believe that the gentleman named, besides being a tried friend of civil and reli gious liberty, possesses eminent qualifications for the dignity to which rumour has raised him by anticipa tion. At a public dinner given at Whitby, on the 25th of March, 1835, during the short-lived Admi nistration of Sir Robert Peel, the Rev. Mr. Dufton was called upon to propose the health of Lord John Russell, which he did in the following terms : "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen—The chairman having intimated his commands that I should give the next toast on the list, I assure you I have great pleasure in complying with his dictum, more parti cularlyheah oafs that Ihafit dis ndm agseuish lfceadllepdaturit, Lord John upon to the Russell.—(Loud cheers.) lam perfectly aware that this is not the place, nor is it the time, toer voearaitd a large upon a few uponthweorsds with r übject; bu e t spo l ct to reel cannot more especially as the noble person to whom I have alluded has something so peculiar and marked in his character, as, at the present time, to render him, in my humble opinion, of the greatest importance to his country.—(Cheers.) That noble individual was born to the possession of high rank, and in almost princ e ly splendour, and has been surrounded by the dangers to which a person in his situation is particularly %,,x -posed. The flattery of the Court, and the allure ments of power, have never caused him to swerve from that firmness of purpose—have never shaken that steady adherence to principle, which are his pre eminent characteristics, and which have fitted him for being what he always has been—the friend of the people.—(Much cheering.) Sir, I know no man, in modern days, who has so devotedly given up his time to the public good, to which, I believe in my conscience, he has always looked in all his actions ; it has been, throughout, his aim and object to improve the institutions of his country, and to promote happiness, and peace, and good-. will amongst men.—(Loud: cheers.) In all this he has worthily trod in the steps of his ancestors ; and, doubtless, were he called upon to do so, would be prepared, like them, to show to the last his attach ment to liberty.—(Great applause.) Were it my wish to imbue others with a desire to engage in the same course of patriotism, I would say, visit the halls of the abbey of Woburn, where the portraits of a line of patriots appear drawn out in long succession, and claiming for their founder, not the mail-clad baron of the reign of John, but, with appropriate fitness, the English country gentleman of the olden time. — (Hear, hear.) Such being my conviction, and en tertaining such opinions, I look upon the noble per son, the object of our toast, as entitled to the highest praise—to our admiration and esteem--(Loud cheers.) Therefore, without trespassing fatrther on your attention—without entering into a detail of the great measures which the Noble Lord has introduced and mainly assisted in carrying through the Legisla ture, for the public benefit—without even alluding t o his benevolent exertions in the cause of religious in struction and humanity, I beg to propose The health of Lord John Russell, and civil and religious liberty.

Russell commenced here on Monday even ing, and continues nightly, a new series of entertain ments, under the title of " Lectures on Character," which, with a great deal of merriment and drollery, have much practical instruction of every-day appli cability combined. In the illustrative songs which the lecturer introduced with admirable ability and effect, he was accompanied by Dr. Wallis, on a newly patented transposing pianoforte of Town's and Parker's, which is an exceedingly fine instrument, and a most valuable addition to the orchestral stores of the institution. It should be observed of Dr. Wallis's accompaniment, that it might furnish a very useful lesson to other professors, who sometimes condescend in public to accompany the vocal performances of their friends, and at the same time take especial care that the voice shall not predominate over the piano, or the singer bear away the palm from the instrumentalist. In this respect the merit of Dr. Wallis is conspicuous. Whereas his own performance is beautiful, and the perfection and elegance of his style cannot be over looked, his accompaniment is perfectly subdued, and effectually sustains the singer throughout, without jarring or overpowering him in the most rapid or the most depressed of his intonations. The Learned Doctor was much applauded when he rose from the instrument. The lecture, on the whole, gave the highest gratification to a crowded audience, and was frequently interrupted with bursts of laughter and applause. MYSTERIOUS CASE OF DROWNING.—ROCHESTER, SEPT. 7. —Yesterday evening an inquest was held at the Dredging-boat public-house, Strood, before Mr. James Lewis' co roner, touching the death of a young female, found drowned in the Medway on Saturday night last.
