MR. CANNING.—We have great satisfaction
in being able to announce the re-establishment
of the Honourable Secretary's health. The
answers given this day to the numerous inquiries
were—" That Mr. CANNING was so well that
he might be considered as recovered from his
late attack so far as could be expected."

Letters dated the sth instant were received
yesterday from Gibraltar. They state that a
strong disposition to revolt against the existing
system prevails in the neighbouring part of the
Spanish territory. Some fugitives from San Roque
and Algesiras are laid to have presented them-
selves for admission into Gibraltar, but it was
peremptorily refused then), by orders of Lord
CHATHAM. The cause assigned was, the danger
of permitting a great increase to the numbers
resident within the fortress, during the great
heats which prevailed, and the consequent liabi-
lity to febrile infection, the thermometer rang-
ing in the shade between 88 and 00 degrees of
Fahrenheit.
The Ganges, Captain MITFORD, arrived here
on Saturday, the 21st inst., from Bombay, sailed

transports left Bombay for Madras, with troops,
to act against the Birmese., Ills Majesty's sloop
of war Alligator was the only British vessel at
Bombay when the Ganges sailed.--(Liverpoot
Advertiser.)

Letters from Gibraltar state, that General
O'Dox at, the Commander-in-chief at St. Roche,
had been obliged,to take flight for Cadiz, the
troops having openly declared ,themselves in fa-
vour of the Constitution, and in Algesiras, it ap-
pears, he had no chance of safety.
On Wednesday, Aug. 25, Prince FOLIC:VAC
gave a grand dinner in honour of the fete of his
sovereign the King of FRANCE ; several members
of the corps. dipkmatique, the Duke of WELLING.
Tor:, and many distinguished French persons;
now resident in this capital, were likewise pre-
sent.
The Duke of.CAstatunaz has been pleased to
appoint his Aide-de-Camp, Major Wir.LtAst DA-
visas, to be his Equerry.
The marble bust of the lamented Dr. E. D. Clarke, by Chan-
trey, is now placed in the vestibule of the University Library,
among those fine specimens of ancient sculpture which that ce-
lebrated traveller brought from Greece. The bust bears a more
striking resemblance to Dr. Clarke in his earlier years, than after
his constitution had been impaired by unremitting application
to scientific pursuits. With respect, however, to the exquisite
beauty of the sculpture. there can be but one opinion, as it not
• only equals the other works of Chantrey, but adds one more
wreath to the numerous and well-earned laurels of this eminent
artist.—( Cambridge Chronicle.
'fits KIDNAPPED CHILD.—WO are sorry to
find that the journey of Rogers has.been unsuc-
cessful. The poor fellow has addressed a letter
to Sir David Scott, who so kindly interested
himself in ,his behalf while at Brighton, of which
the following is an, extract; it is dated Dover,
Aug. 24, 1824:---`r I have been and am at
Dover, and have found by a letter received this
*mortiing from Calais, that the woman .Charlotte
Shaw has been at Calais, end has worked at a pot-
tery there ; and re-embarked for E:ngland at Ca-
lais, by the Spitfire steam-packet on the 7th of
August. She had a gathering on board to the
amount of nearly five pounds from the passengers.
The Spitfire will arrive again to-day at Dover,
when I shall gain further information. The
woman treated the child so inhumanly at Calais,,
that the French Police took her into custody,
but afterwards'discharged her. I have to thank
you for your kindness, and shall feel'very parti-
cularly obliged if you will be good enough to
continue your exertions in my favour.—(Mighton
Gazette.).

ARCHERY.
With the exception of the Fete kiven by the Bight Hon. the
Earl of Bradford, on Nemliff, last year, the largest Meeting
of the Shropshire Royal British Bowmen that has yet been
Weld took place on Friday, at Prado, the hospitable mansion
or the 1100 Thomas. Kenyon, where every arrangement that
could tend to the entertainment and comfort of the Archers
and very numerous
guests, had been admirably made. The
company began to assemble about eleven o'clock, and continued
iecreasing, until we brut counted the arrival of upwards of eighty
carriages, comprising together a very great portion of the rank,
beauty, and fashion, of the County and places adjacent. Soon
after eleven the shooting 'commenced ; the Ladies, at two
butts, contended for the King's prize, which was won by bliss
Maria Newcombe; and the Gentlemen at two butts also, for
the, King's prize, which was won by Captain Greville. Both
these prizes were very handsothe ones of the kind ; that for the
Ladies consisting of necklace; earrings, armlets, and brooch ;
and that for the Gentlemen of a gold chain. About three o'clock
the company, amounting to upwards of 204) persons, partook
of a dinner consisting of almost every thing that could please the
eye or gratify the palate ; and the day, which upon the whole
was very fine, was spent in the most harmonious, festive, and
delightful manner.

130W-STREET--(Tuts DAY.)
Imposition, on the Mendicity Society.
Ann Tirright, a miserable object, was brought
Up by Jennings,.ime of the patrole, who appre-
hended her' in Great Queen-street, for in-
decency. It appeared from the statement
of one of the officers belonging to the Men-
dicity
.Society, that the prisoner had been re-
peatedly relieved bX them, and on one oc.
casion they advanced her 103. as she said, to get
into business ; bUt it seems that no sooner was
the money obtained than it was squandered away,
and very soon after the prisoner was known to
be seen in the streets begging. She stated her-
self a native of Nottingham.—The Magiitrate
said he shoUld commit her for the offence cwn-
.plained of.

Sir ROBERT WALPOLE had always very exact
intelligence of all that was passing at the Court
of. the Pretender. When Alderman BARBER
visited the Minister
,after his return from Rome,
he asked him how his old friend the Pretender
did. The Alderman was much surprised ; Sir
Roam: then related some minute particulars of
a conversation which had taken place between
them. 64 Well then, JACK," said Sir ROBERT,
46 go and sin no more, lest a worse thing befall
thee."
When Newark was besieged by the Scotch
Army in the grand Rebellion, a silk-mercer in the town
dreamed that his house was knocked down by a bomb ; he
awaked, removed, and in an hour after a bomb did that execu-
tion. The person thus preserved, to commemorate the event,
left an annual donation to the poor, and a sermon to be preach-
ed bn that day of the year for ever.
RELIGIOUS PIG.--On the Bth inst. a person in
the parish of Martock, Somerset, lost his pig, and
after many inquiries, was informed that the aid-
mai bad walked upwards of a mile, and entered
the church during divine service. So strange a
guest rather alarmed the congregation, and be
was immediately driven" out by the sexton.—
Nothing daunted, the grunting lounger proceed-
ed to a,,meeting.house, a short distance from the
church, and walked with stately step up to the
pulpit, when he was observed by one of his mas-
ter's servants, who drove him home.--(Taunton
Paper.)
