The Sydney Gazette (New South Wales News paper) mentions two well-authenticated instances of the extreme virulence of animal poison, which exceeds evcry thing formerly known :—John Wood, a private of the Royal Veteran Company, on duty, was bitten by a snake, and survived only a few moments. The fatal wound was inflicted 'on his foot, when, putting his hand upon it, be Lad scarcely time to implore the mercy of God, when he fell on his face and instantly expired. In a few hours his body.was eutirely putrid. A sheep also, belonging to a Mr. Lawson, was bitten and died immediately. Symptoms of putrescence suc ceeded in a few moments. These serpents are said to be about 6 or 7 feet long, of a dark colour, and have very large heads. On the 4th instant Major-General FIVERS ar rived from Dublin in Limerick, on a route to in apect the Ordnance stations on the Lower Shan-s boa. He proceeded on Friday for Tarbert, ac stompanied by Captain VIGOUREAUX, of the Royal Engineers.

SHEERNESS, SEPT. 10.—A Dutch man-of-war brig arrived here a few days ago, and has pro ceeded up the Medway. In consequence of the Peace, the business carried on at this place,. like 0 .1 other naval ports, has considerably decreased ; Yet. notwithstanding, at the meeting of the Ma gistrates on the 34 inst. for granting licences to Pat/lc-houses, six additionat ones received that iOdtmlgeoce, although some of those already li tensed did not, it is said, draw a butt of beer in a week.

The Catholics of Ireland, as we have often stated, are incessantly active in pursuit of their aspirations for political power Tl►e following I(ES"►LUTION occasioned the letter from the Earl of DONOUGHMOie which succeeds it :--- " That our gratitude is due and nor thanks hereby given .to that uniformly steady and streuuous Advocate of our Claims, the Right'lion. the Earl of UouonKhwore., the pa triotic supporter of our rights, fur his conduct in the late Session of Parliament," " Knocklofty.

Under such circumstances, I thought it was no time for unimpressive general statements, that it was necessary that. misrepresentation should he grappled with, and'that their religion, and the character of its Ministers, should stand erect in that House, at least 4 of Which I am a Member. That my feelings were in /liaison with those of that respectable portion of my Countlituen who composed your late Aggregate Meeting, and that 1 did not entirely fail in carrying them into execution, their kind, and to we truly gratifying Resolution, is a sufficient proof.

REGISTER OF' FASHION._ BRIGHTON, SEPT. 10. Arrived the Tiber frigate, Captain DACRRS, and fired a salute in our roads. At eleveu o'clock the PRINCE REGENT, accompanied hy the whole re tinue of the Nobility at the Pavilion, for the.se contl time, went on board the RoyalUeorge yacht, which was lying at the distauce of about three miles from the shore. As Isis Royal Highness stepped into the barge, discharges of cannon took place from the Inconstant and the Tiber frigates, and the several gui-brigs in the roads. These salutes Were renewed %Olen the PRINCE 'REGENT arrived on hoard the yacht'. After his Royal Highness had stepped into the barge, he condescendingly waved hii hat to the numerous assemblage that lined the beach and cliffs. The whole of the vessels sailed to `tire 'eastward of the town, and at half-past one o'rlie‘k this afterntion the frigates and sloops were ranged- in line of battle, and exhibited all the ma noeuvres of an engagement, which were visible from the shore. By two o'clock the firing had ceased, and a general chase• commenced to the westward. Sir IVILLIAM CURTIs embarked on b .ard his yacht, which had been previously pro visioned for a voyage to Portsmouth. As the Worthy Alderman was in the secret of the in tended sham-fight, he dauntlessly approached the scene of action, and nobly resigning himself to lkis fate, was captured, and is now as report goes, 13'p/ isomer on board the Royal yacht. THE THEATRE.—The Opera of Vuy 71annering was the dramatic invitation •to Covent-Garden Theatre last night, and it was obeyed by a very numerous audience. Miss STEPHENs was parti cularly.cheered on her return to her station, - and nothing can fully describe the exquisite style of her singing. Her voice was in perfect order, and her acting was marked_ by the most interesting simplicity. The illness of EMERY occasioned . his part to be allotted to ToKELYi whose part was assigned to Mr. COMER. They both acquitted themselves tolerably well, considering the short notice of the required change. LISTON, as usual, .gave full activity to the risible muscles of the au dience. The rest of the Performers were well received. The Afterpiece was Aladdin. MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—The prospect of a TIUMer runs attendance at the approaching Hampshire Musk Meeting, on Tuesday next, and the follow• ing days, is such, that the Directors, auxiota to provide in every respect for the accommodation of the Public, have enlarged the space appro priated to the audience, by the erection of addi tional galleries in the cathedral, and at St. John's [louse. The arrangements made in the Cathedral will present a brilliant and imposing coup d'ail; and the raised gallery, at St. John's House, is so constructed, as to accommodate a large number of auditors, without injuring the beauty of that degant room, or interfering with the con venience of the dancing. We are happy to state that Mr. BARTLEMAN is in such good health as to ensure his doing full justice to his ex traordinary talents. When it is - considered that Miss STEPHENS and Mr. BARTLEMAN have pryer hitherto. perforated in Winchester Cathedral, we cannot be surprised at the ge herally prevailing desire to hear the unrivalled powers- of these eminent singers displayed to so great advanwe. SPORTING IN'IELLIGENCE. ENFIELD RACES, !gm WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER JO. The second year of the revival •of the sports of Bufield Marsh commenced this day.

OF, M ft ta r MARSDEN AND HANNAH PAILTINCITON. • Precisely at a qoarter past I 2 the door leading. froth the •Castle-to the scaffold opened, and Wm. Holden, a strong-built, middle-sited, and grey headed man, was led - forth, with his hauls pi nioned. both at the wrists and elbows: before the cap was placed on his head, he turned round to the immense multitiide of spectators, and, with a firm- and loud voice, said, " I ant innocent of the crime - for .which i ant to suffer as the child unborn. May . God take okay all my sins as lam innocent of _thiS murder." The cop was then drawn over his face, and the rope titd about his neck. David Ashcroft Was stationed next him --se He - spoke to this effect, with frequent repetitions of the same observations-%--"I am glad to see so many.persons now looking on, as I testify to them we arc all ignorant of this crime. Idu protest to you all , before God, that we are all innocent.-74. Evety one that now stet me is as guilty as I am. I would not say so if we bad any connexion in, 'any way with the concern ; but I declare before God that we are perfectly innocent, for which t bless God. 'My prayer to God is, that all our persecutors may be forgiven. May God bless the town of Manchester. I know that many there. thirsted for our blood, but they have sorer hearts than we have. We forgive them, and .may God give his ,Holy Spirit to the town of Manchester. I pray earnestly that-we may be the last innocent persons to suffer from this Castle. May God find out the true !mutterers, and may you see them suffer in this place, and hear th2:r confession of their guilt. I Hill flow, 1 trust, going to glory, and I would not for the whole world die with a lie in my mouth. We are all innocent."—(llol den exclaimed, " I can answer only for myself, I am innocent." James Ashcroft, the younger, who had in the mean time heen brought our, and on whom the cap and rope had been pot, cried out, " We are all innocent.'') " And now may the grace of God be with you all now and for ever, Amen." The cap was now put on his face, and the rope was tied round his neck. He was a good-looking man. James Ashcroft the elder, a tall, thin, grey-headed man, came out last, came in front of his son, and kissed him with much earnestness, then took his station by his Side. He never said any thing. They were all pinioned at the wrists and elbows. They joined the clergyman afterwards in repeating the-Lord's prayer quite loud. David Ashcroft continued praying,—`t Lord take away my sins, and save my sortl for the merits of Jesus Christ." Holden repeated tht same expression. All four then be gan to sing, David Ashcroft repeating line aftet line as they sung : It praise my Maker *Pith my breath ; And when my yoke 11.1(10, in death, My days of praise shall ne'tr be Fist, While• lift and-thought and ---, The drop fell, their voices instantly ceased, and they 'swung round in the same direction. David Ashcrott's Ilona' being uncovered, his tongue was seen swollen and thrust half out on the upper side of his month. Old Ashcroft never moved a lithb. The young man quivered in the convul— skint of death about a minute after they had beeq thrown off. There was scarcely a tearless eye among the crowd, while many of the women wept aloud. We have very singular pleasure in communi* eating to the public the successful issue of the la. bourn of our Cititens, and their C,ommittee, for a renovated constitution of Burgh Government. The Loan ADVOCATE has acceded to the desires of the community, and has prepared his report accordingly for the Privy Council, who, it is confidently expected, will confirm his Lord. ship's recommen:latiun, and will appoint the first aly of October for ,a poll election, in terms of his Lordship's report. The honour to our Burgh is very great, in having led the way to a free guild, find in now having succeeded in procuring a free ctitmeil, : of ,which at least the majority will be in the annual choice Q 1 the gnildry, burgesses, and trades,' which must naturally produce a rota. tion of office. We hope it will be. a prelude to reform in other hurglis,•and stimulate them to that p a iri e nism a Od . perseverance which has here been crowned with complete success. The thanks of the community, and all corporations, are emi. nently due to the LORD ADvoclre.—(Montrose Review.) ROWING MATCH OF 1000 MILES IN 20 DAYs.--. Gyngell,. the waterman, finished his seventh day's task at half-past six on Tuesday evening, having rowed 50 miles that day. He started at half-past five yesterday morning on his eighth day's task, and at a quarter before five in the afternoon 'he had accomplished 45 miles. Odds continue daily Ho increase against his completing the task. The fighting Men all returned to London from Moulsey on Tues'ilay night. Stringer is the worst hit about the head'of any of them, and it shews the prowess of Spring. Church has also got a severe beating about the head and body, but Lan caster and Purcell have dealt more charitably with Leach other. Tuesday afternoon a respectable looking wo man, rather tall, dressed in a black silk gown anti light coloured silk shawl, came to the house 1:f Mrs. SMART, Northampton-square, Clerkenwctl, stating that she came on business from AD - . Alsier man Bracn, and that her .husband was one of the Directors of the Bank ;. under this pretence .she contrived,to steal a valuable trate' and other articles, and .e4c - aped. " The following circumstance occurred in the night of Friday last,' at Mystole, the seat of Sir JOHN FAGG, Barr.:—The garden of the mansion having been robbed of the choicest fruit, the gar dener and another servant, with fire-arms, were set to watch, with a view to detect the depreda tors, when, in the night above mentioned, three men, habited as siitilors, were observed getting over the wall; upon which the gardener fired at them, and wonaded one so dangerously that his life is despaired of.
