SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

WORCESTER RACES—FIRST DAY, TUESDAY, AUG. 2.
The course was very well attended by beauty and fashion
from all pails of the country, with the usual proportion of
pickpockets. The course was in fine condition and greatly
unproved by two or three hours rain in the morning. ,

This race excited considerable interest, and a good deal of
money must have been won and lost on Euphrates, who was
the favourite at 7.t0 4. Hajii Baba, rode in good style by
Minton, made severe running all the way, followed close by
Euphrates, who once got half a neck a-head. It was a beauti-
ful neck-and-neck race, down the distance, and won only by a
head. Whitehouse rode Euphrates.

HUNTINGDON RACES AUGUST 2.
The weather was very, favourable at the time of starting, and
during the races, but the rain in the morning probably pre-
vented the attendance of many. The company was, notwith-
standing, very considerable.

NAnnow ESCAPE of Captain TINLING of the
First Guards.—This morning a fatal accident had
nearly befallen Captain TINLING, Acting Adju-
tant to the 3d battalion of the Ist Regiment of
Foot Guards. Whilst the men were on parade
on the Mall in St. James's Park, the battalion
had been formed into a line, and the Captain,
who was mounted on a beautiful bay charger,
rode down the front in the usual manner to in-
spect them ; and on turning his horse's head, and
riding towards Col.WoonFoan, the animal bolted
at full speed, and all attempts on the part of
Capt. TINLING to stop his progress proved use.
less, as, owing to his accoutrements, he could not
use much power over him ; the animal ran up
into the corner of the Treasury, and it was
feared he would have plunged with the gal-
lant Captain over the area rails, but by a sud-
den jerk the animal turned his head and gal-
lopped, passed the Horse Guards and through the
line of soldiers who formed the tilt-guard ; the
men for safety fled in all directions, and the ani-
mal continued its course towards the gun in
Spring-gardens, and, in the Captain's attempt to
arrest his progress, his cap fell off, and it was
expected he would have been dismounted ; but
fortunately one of the Bth Dragoons seized the
horse's bridle, and prevented the mischief that
appeared certain. What is most extraordinary,
the animal, which is quite a colt, had been rode
by the Captain on field days, and had been never
known to start, although in the midst of the
firing.

with the coach-house and stables, was destroyed.
About nine o'clock yesterday evening, a person
of very respectable appearance, and about 20
years of age, went on board the Floating Bath off
Waterlon-bridge, for the purpose of !whim...T.-
11e had been in the water only about seven
minutes, when he got out and complained of being
unwell. The attendant put his shirt and stock-
ings on, when he fell into his arms, saying he'
was very ill. Dr. Stanton, of the Strand, was
immediately sent for, but before his arrival, the
unfortunate gentleman said he r. as' dying, and
expressing an anxious desire to see his wife, and
family, he seemed to expire. Dr Stanton, when
he arrived, attempted to bleed him, but without
any effect. The body was then removed to a
public-house in Strand-lane, where every means
were used to restore animation, but all were
useless. His death is supposed to have been oc-
casioned by an attack of apoplexy. From some
papers found in his pockets, it appears that his
name is Chalk, and that he is a coach-Maker,
residing in Whitechapel.
A fine young woman, `who has bee!) for
some time employed in the town as a straw-

on Wednesday afternoon, when she , almost
in an instant became so suddenly - indisposed
that it was necessary to convey her home in a
cart. A surgeon was got, who pronounced that
she was seized With a violent inflammation,
occasioned 'by the great heat of "the weather,
and nothing could be done for her. She lived in
great pain for about two hours, and expired.--

There was a most splendid exhibition of the
aurora borealis on Tuesday night. It was seen
by many persons in the neighbourhood of Carlisle,
and further north. It is thus described by a cor-
respondent in a Glasgow paper, and hisdescrip-
tion strictly-applies to what was observable here,
except that it was' seen a little earlier :—" I t first
became visible in the northern horizon about half-
past 11, and shooting entirely across the western
heavens,sustained itself in an arch of the most beau-
tiful corruscations. I could compare it to nothing
but the silvery gloss' reflected from the polished
mirror, with this difference, however, that it was
never stationary or connected,but I was flitting and
radiant. iYow it seemed to glow with the sparkling
brilliancy of the diamond, anon it would appear to
melt into vapour, but such a vapour only as can
be imagined of the serenest morn in autumn. It
is inconceivable with what velocity its pencilled
rays went and came, or darted and sprung from
one pole to the other. In various other quarters
of the sky also detached specimens of it were vi-
sible, which, although not equal in magnificence
to this, were yet alike productive of unmingled
admiration and surprise.—(Carlisle Patriot.)

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY

Extraets from the Morning Papert2 Aug. 4, 1825,

[NEW TIMES.)
The Combination of the Combers and Weavers
at Bradford, in Yorkshire, is drawing to a crisis.
The Master Manufacturers have come to a reso-
lution to stop their mills entirely on Saturday
next; and the workmen, blindly submitting to
the direction of their Committee, are leaving the
town in great numbers, to seek employment else-
where. This is a lamentable state of things for
the, workmen and their poor families ! They are
told very confidently by their Committee that
they haxe nothing to do but to ask for work at
other towns, and they will be sure to find it ; and
upon this assurance, and a little money in hand
from their subscription-fund, they break up
their family establishment, sell the bulkier part
of their goods for a mere song, pack up the
rest, and set off on their pilgrimage. But
if their hopes of finding employment should be
disappointed (as in the great majority of cases
they necessarily must be), what lot will then
await them Nothing but to be sent back as
paupers to their parish—to be placed more com-
pletely under controul than they ever were, and
to find themselves weighed down to the earth
with shame and misery. Nothing could be more
reasonable than the Resolutions of the Masters
in the very outset. The Combers and Weavers
demanded an increase of wages on the alleged
ground of the dearness of provisions. The Mat-
ters replied that the demand of the Combers was
altogether unreasonable, inasmuch as their wages
were higher than they had been for the last ten or
twenty years, and the price of provisions was
more moderate than it had frequently been during
that period. To the Weavers they spoke dif-
ferently. The Masters admitted that the demands
of the Weavers were not unreasonable, and said
they should feel pleasure in giving an advance
when the circumstances of the trade, would allow
of it; but for the last six or eight months the
weaving trade had been depressed, and would
not at present afford the increase demanded. It
is perhaps to be lamented that the masters added
to this simple statement any thing having the
appearance of vindictive feeling;, but they had
probably felt much from previous combinations,
and they therefore declared they would not em-
ploy any member of the present combination.
An oblivion on both sides would on this point
perhaps be desirable ; but it is surely better
for the workmen to accept their former wages,
than to adopt the desperate remedy of wan-
dering over the country in search of better.—
Two removes, it is said, are as bad as a fire;
and we fear the Bradford workmen will find the
truth of this proverb to their cost. On the other
hand, it is by no means clear to us that to strike
will not be beneficial to the masters. It will
prevent them from loading their warehouses with'
goods beyond the demand, and will ther?fore
serve to keep up the price of the articles in foreign
markets. The loss to the workmen is certain ;
and though they may for a while be supported
by the benevolence of their brother wol lumen In
other towng, the latter will ere long learn that
" Charity begins at home."

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
We have received the Paris Papers of Monday,
and the Etoile of Tuesday. The Moniteur of
the former date contains a Royal Ordinance for
the appointment of a Commission, who shall be
charged to declare, within 21 hours after the ex-
piration of the time allowed for the conversion of
the Rentes, the number of assents to the scheme.
The Commission is composed of three persons,
who all hold offices under the Minister of Finance;
and consequently the Commission is as snug a one
as he could wish. If, to strain a point, would suit
the purposes of M. de Villele, these independent
Commissioners would not hesitate, we presume,
an instant, to show their willingness to oblige their
Patron even to this extent. It will be seen, on
refering to the Ordinance, that there is to be no
check upon them ; and we wish to know, sup.
posing they were to make a false report, how the
falsehood could be detected at once. We sus-
pect that some juggle is meditated, though we
z.
cannot exactly see in what manner it can be ef-
fected.
As to the scheme itself, it is evidently al
complete one, as far as the consent of the. French
is necessary to its success ; and it now remains to
be seen whether M. de Villele's Brokers in
this country will be able to extricate Itim out
of the scrape. If they succeed, it will be
well for them, but not quite so well for the
parties, who may be induced to incur a great
pecuniary risk, to further the views of the French
Government. Should the scheme fail here, his
Most Christian Majesty would be obliged to
choose new Ministers ; and we strongly suspect
that this will be the upshot of the matter. The
Etoile has copied from The Augsburgh Ga-
zette intelligence from Corfu of the 10th ult.
which confirms the capture of Tripolizza, but
represents the affair in a less disastrous point
of view far the Greeks than our own pri-
vate accounts have described it.. It says that
the Greeks set fire to the place, to prevent
it from serving as a point d'appui to the ene-
my ; 'but we must take this assertion upon
the . credit of a Paper which is not over
accurate in its statements. In the mean-
time, Ibrahim Pacha continues his victorous ca-
reer, and if the Greeks hope to arrest the course
of his victories by desolating the country, we fear
the expedient will prove an unfortunate one.
Whilst the Egyptians can receive supplies by sea,
there is not much chance of starving.- them, and as
their fleet has been able to convoy repeatedly,
and in perfect safety, formidable armaments, it
will also have the means of conveying provisions.
Therefore, the resource of starvation, if the
Greeks rely on it, is a very feeble one, the more
so, as the Arabs, who compose the troops of the
Pacha, are accustomed to as hard. fare as the
Greeks themselves. What is said about the
fidelity' disinterestedness of Colocotroni, is
probably a mere flourish, and the Wholi article'
appears to have been got up for the purpose alone
of- mitigating the disaster which the Greeks have

sustained in the capture of the chief city in the
Morea.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
A Morning Paper, which is supposed to be the
organ of the High Church party, somewhat un-
necessarily reminds its readers, that the Rev. Mr.
Frank holds two livings in Norfolk and Suffolk
of 8001. a year. We cannot but think our con-
temporary rather imprudent in calling attention
to this circumstance, which will probably suggest
extremely unpleasant reflections. People will
naturally ask whether that is the most perfect of
all possible systems under which a person in the
unhappy predicament of Mr.,Frank can hold two
livings ? Is it the very best state of things which
allows an individual to acquire Church prefer-
ment, as boobies in the country acquire authority,
without any regard being had to his qualifications
for the discharge of his duties ? We do not hire a
servant till we have assured ourselves that he is
honest and sober, and it would seem but right
that at least as much caution should be used with
respect to the characters of those individuals who
are appointed to instruct, and to set examples
to their parishioners. Many an excellent man,
who happens to be poor and unconnected, is con-
demned for life to the drudgery of some miser-
able curacy, while any man of wealth is secure
of preferment in our church, no matter how un-
fitted he may be. for his holy calling. In a church
of stricter discipline, such a man as Mr. Frank
could not have enjoyed two benefices; but it is
well that the matter is no worse ; he might, have
been a Bishop—for there is no saying what a man
possessed of eight thousand a year might not be
in this country.

[THE TIMES.]
We read yesterday with some surprise, a pa-
ragraph in which Mr. Justice Bayley's recent in-
timation that he should not again go to the
Northern Circuit, was plainly ascribed to the
Learned Judge's disgust at the violent person.
alities of the barristers towards each other, and in
which Messrs. Scarlett and Brougham were
charged, in no very indistinct terms, with de-
scending to " the vulgar abuse of Billings-
gate." It would we are sure be difficult to
imagine a more unfounded or more injurious
charge. We can state on the best authority,
that the observation of Mr. Justice Bayley
had no reference whatever to any person-
alities between the Members of the bar : and
that in no instance on this circuit has there been
a single intemperate remark made by any one
counsel towards any other ; least of all has there
been any bickering or indecent altercation be-
tween the leaders. The Judge and one of the
leaders differed once or twice on a matter of legal
nicety, and had in consequence some contention :
and to this was owing the expression of the
Learned Judge's intention to desist from going
the Northern Circuit. The allusion to Sir
Samuel Romilly in the same paragraph is pe-
culiarly unhappy. That upright and able
man, it is well known, had the infirmity
(it was almost his only one) of a most cap-
tious, irritable, and angry temper : and it is a
matter of fact, that, he,twice had personal quarrels,
onoo with a party, and nnro with a harrister
both of which quarrels arose out of violent lan-
guage in open Court. We can confidently state,
that it has never happened to any man now on
the Northern Circuit to have been engaged in
any such unpleasant differences with his col-
leagues.

riaiTISH PRESS.]
The intelligence received yesterday through
the German Papers from the Morea is of a cha-
racter alarming to the friends of Greek independ-
ence. But there is so much confusion and con-
tradiction in the news we have from Greece
across the Continent, that, before we give cre-
dence to any of these melancholy tidings, we are
bound to wait patiently till we obtain through,
some other channel a confirmation of the state-
ments. We are now told that instead of Ibra-
him Pacha having been completely overthrown
by Colocotroni near Tripolizza, and compelled
to retreat for shelter under the walls of Mo-
don, he has advanced to Argos, having
previously taken Tripolizza, and defeated
the Greeks in every attempt to arrest or retard
his progress. The Greeks, it is stated, incapable
of defending their soil from theincursion of the
barbarians, had, with their own hands, laid the
country . waste. All the villages on the line
of march had been burned, and Tripolizza
itself was destroyed, in order to prevent it
from being occupied by the enemy. Coloco-
troni is represented to have made all the resist-
ance' possible with the means at his disposal ;
but finding it in vain, he patriotically sacrificed
the whole of his property, which lay in the
environs of Tripolizza. We fear that the dan-
gers that now menace the independence of Greece
are more serious than any that have preceded
them ; but we have no reason to despair of its
triumph. It appears certain that the siege of
gissolonghi has been raised by Redschid Pacha,
whose losses have been considerable. It is stated
that his force is so much reduced that he can un-
dertake no fresh enterprize against the Greeks.
They will therefore be safe on this side, and it
will he surprising if despair alone do not enable
them to deliver themselves from Ibrahim and his
Egyptians.

[MORNING POST.]
French Papers to the 2d instant, with the
Doile of Tuesday, arrived last night by express.
The latter contains a Royal Ordinance appoint-
ing a Commission of three persons to ascertain
and to make public the number of individuals
who, on the sth instant, shall have availed
themselves of the power given them by the late
financial law to convert their 5 per Cent. Rentes
into 3 per Cents., as well as the amount of the
Rentes so converted. The Commissioners, are to
close the registration of the assents to the conver-
sion, at midnight on the day before mentioned,
and are then to draw up a I'roces-verbal, or
Protocol of their proceedings. According to the
statement daily published by the opposition Jour-
nals (Ultra Royalist and Liberals), during the
last two months, but comparatively few indivi:
duals have been found senseless enough to reduce
their incomes two-fifths, by accepting three per

cent. for their money, instead of five, merely
to gratify the 'Ministers, and to relieve them
from the difficulty into which their Indem-
nity Law has thrown them. Up to last Sa-
turday, the Journal des Debats informs us, the
amount of convene& Rentes ;did not exceed ten
millions of francs, which is not. quite 590,0004,
sterling. If this assertion be true, it proves
that the Public feel no interest in the measure,
and that the great financial plan With which Mr.
de Villele thought that he could indemnify ,the.
Emigration and work ,wonders, has failed; The
chief object of the present Ordinance is pro-
bably to call the attention of Stockholders to
the proposed conversion, and by announcing that
the Registers will be closed in the night of the
sth instant, to create an interest which does not
exist, and to augment the number of the Con-
verters. The moment, according to the views
taken' of it by almost all parties in France, is
likely to prove decisive, and to involve the fate'
of the Ministry in its success or its, failure. The
Eioile also contains another Ordinance, autho-
yising the Minister of the Interior to act for the
Keeper of the Seals, during the indisposition and
consequent absence of the latter.

The Mendicity Society has just put forth its
Annual Report, from which it appears that, to
regulate the expenditure of between 3 and 40001.,
the Society's Officers consist of -nearly -100 per.
sons, under the following denominations, viz.-
1 Patron, 1 Honorary Counsel
1 President, 1 Honorary Solicitor I !
23 Vice Presidents, 1 Honorary Secretary
1 Visitor, 1 Resident Clerk,
1 Treasurer, . 1 Parochial Clerk,
37 Managers, 1 Inquiry Clerk,
1 Assistant Manager, 6 Begging Letter Clerks,
Auditors, 7 Constables, and
1 P. Bragge, the Cook ! !
In all, 98.
..... _

That the name of the person (but whether male
or female is not stated) who holds the important
post of converting into soup the shins of beef, the
ox-cheeks, the cow-heels, and potatoes, with
which the Society treats its sturdy customers,
should be thus given, evinces a minuteness of de-
tail which would be extremely laudable, were it
not a little ridiculous ; and that a Society for
catching beggars should be classed under so many
departments, and should actually consist of more
persons than are to be found attached to some
of the most important Offices under Govern-
ment, is, we must be permitted to say, a
specimen of that love of humbug which, un-
fortunately, sometimes besets the best-inten-
tioned kind of people. We have always looked
upon this Society as a sort of excrescence of the
Police, both the necessity and utility, of which
are more than doubtful ; and we are not sorry,
therefore, to discover, from this Report, that its
exertions are evidently on the decline ; and we
should not be surprised were we, ere long,' to
see it quietly descending to the tomb of all the
Capulets. But then what iy to become of the
numerous establishments of which the Society
consists ? What, for instance, will become
of alt the culinary accomplishments of Mr.
or Mrs. Bragge, culled, as of course they
must be, from the joint labours of Mrs.
loozo, KitOittter, Ude, and M. Rundell !
But Bragge, excellent as he or she doubtless is,
is not likely, we suspect, to rival Ho/dfast upon
this occasion. The ilonoraries of course must re-
tire, surrendering, like other great men,." all but
their honour." The Constables, we should think,
might, from their experience, be very advanta-
geously appointed to vacancies as they occur in
the regular police. And the Begging Letter De-
partment (the only useful part of the establish-
ment) we should recommend Mr. Peel to annex,
in some way or other, to the Public' Office in
Bow•street. This done, let the Parochial Au-
thorities be but made to do their duty, and this
Society will never be missed, while we shall, at
least, ao longer witness the glaring anomaly of
seeing so material a part of the actual govern-
ment of the country assumed by irreponsible
people, who ought, from being such, to have no-
thing to do with it.
