GRAND ROWING MATCH.
On Monday last, a Scullers' wage: for several purses of
sovereigns given by a party of Gentlemen, who frequent the
house of Mr. Hurrell, Swan Tavern, Battersea llrid"e, was
rowed fur. The contest was a sharp one, and fatally aecided
in favour of Gregory, of Pepper-alley. Noulton, of Lambeth,
was Second for a considerable tithe, but by the, exertion of
Joyce, of Arundel Stairs, wito,roweil with wonderful dexterity,
succeeded in passing hint, end he came in second, •Noulton
third, and Petry, of Ihingerford Stairs, last. The grand purse
was then given to Gregory, and the others received the minor
ones.

SP,A AWING.
The meeting at the Fives' Court yesterday was but thinly at-
tended ; but there were some good ruffianing bouts : it was for
the benefit of Bilton. Ward challenged to fight any man in
England, bar Spring, and his money ready. Joshua Hudson
was not there to reply, but he had a friend or two there ready
at the bustle, and there was not a second opinion about a light,
as both men want a job,

day (the 1700 at a quarter before nine in the
e% ening. The air was calm, and the coloured
lamps (which formed a crown) below the bolloon,
permitted the spectators to follow it with their
eyes fora long time. Arrived in the upper re-
gions, M. MARGAT experienced an intense
cold, the gas, in dilating, left an humidi-
ty, which was soon converted into ice, and
which gave the aeronaut much trouble in manag-
ing the valve. Ile succeeded, however, in over.
coaling this obstacle, and proceeded without acci-
dent through a very thick fog to the Porest of
Villers.Coterets in the commune of Fleury,
twenty-five leagues from Paris. At midnight
he effected his descent and found himself
perched upon a tree, which served as a base
for his wandering edifice. There M. MAU.
GAT passed the night, notwithstanding the
rain, which fell in abundance. The astonish.
ment may be conceived of the Sieur DEBARY,
Keeper to the Duke of ORLEANS, when at four
in the morning, on going his round, he perceived
at the top of a tree our aerial voyager and his im-
mense baggage. M. I%lAm:wt. praises the conduct
of this keeper, from whom he received every,
kind of aid ; ho was also very well received by
the Mayor of Amity, by the Cutte, and by all
the inhabitants of the village who flocked to see
him.-,--(Paris Paper).

THE LOVERS CHECKED.-00 Saturday last,
considerable sensation was produced in the north-
east corner of this county, by the elopement of
a young lady, scarcely out of her teens, with it
gentleman on the verge of 50. She had been on a
visit in the neighbourhood of Sunderland, and,
being expected home that evening, the coach was
met on the road by the father, who was told
that she had quitted it about half an hour
before, on pretence of indisposition, and
eas observed to step into a post-cbalse, which
immediately drove off in the direction of New.
castle. The mother of the lady, suspecting
who the gentleman was, lost
an time in
pursuing, and, on her arrival hi Newcastle, was
informed that the gentleman she suspected
was then in bed at the house of his brother. In-
sisting on an interview, he acknowledged her
suspicions to be well founded, but refused to say
whither the lady had retired. The morning, how_
ever, brought this secret to light, when she was
discovered to be tit the Three Indian Kings, Where
she had slept the preceding night. It is said, though
from ttie respectability of the parties we cannot
think it probable, that on their arrival at New_
castle, it was found no fund had been provided for
the prosecution of their journey to Gretna ; the
gentleman having depended upon the lady, and
the lady, of course, upon the gentleman, for sup_
plying the needful. This being an obstacle not
to be surmounted, the parties separated for the
night, and the lady being discovered, as We have
stated, next morning was compelled, with great
and manifold reluctance, to accompany her mu. 1
ther home.—(Durham Chronicle).

CIIESTEit SUMMER-ASSIZES.

AT THE CASTLE OF-CHESTER,. AVG.'2S, 1823.
Before CLIARLE9 IVATLittiE,sq..ChiefJustice; and SAMUEL
AtAIt9IIALL, Isq, Puisne Judge.
.Vpiipir Dole, WhO attained the age of,lB. years the day he wee
committed to the Castle of Chester,' stood indicted for the *L-
illl murder of Wood, cotton-factor, on the 111th 'of
July last; at 'Whaley, by Means of stones thrown. at the back
part of his head, by winch a mortal wound was inflicted of the
sue of half an inch in length:and one inch in breadth.
First witness. called was John Mellor, of Whaley, farmer's
servant—Was coining from Bullock's Smithey with his cart
on the 16th July, the old road; on his return.(from Dishley to
Whaley are two roads), between 7 and 8 o'clock found a
man, near the boundary wall, dead, twelve or six yards from
the wall ; Dishley to Whaley is three miles; he came one mile
from Dishley alone ; stopped • till Edmund • Potts and John
Mellor, his uncle, came up ;
,did not know \Vocal; on the
back of his head was a wound, on the forehead two wounds;
appeared inflicted with stones ; many stones were near the
body, which were Brickstone stones ; a vast quantity of' blood
under his head ; did not observe thepockets ; body was not
quite cold ; put it into Edmund Potts cart ; three were three
carts with 'three drivers resent ; grass and wall by the body
was sprinkled with blood a little, but much blood about.
Second witness, Edmund Potts—Was on the road 16th July
last, between 7 and 8 P.M.; saw J. Mellor; knows where Jo-
seph Hatfield lives ; Mellor stood by Wood on the Dishley
side ; passed Hatfield House on the . Whaley side ; distance
froM a quarter to half a mile ; examined the body, which was
warm; corroborates thefortner witness with regard to the blood
and stones; took the body in his cart to the Cock, in Whaley;
was present before the Coroner when inquiry took place ; exa-
mined pockets of the deceased ; turned out breeches pockets,
in which were an old penny, pocket handkerchief; and top of
an umbrella. .

Cross-examined by Mr. JONEs—Muell blood was about
where the body lay 4 • blood came on witness's clothes ; removed
the body with the former witness into the cart • his apron was
very bloody, with the head, difficult- to touch die body without
receiving blood. Whaley is on the side of Hatfield Muse ;
found not the umbrella, nor any basket.
Third witness, Mary Bradshaw—Knows late Mr. Wood,
saw him at Manchester the lath July, between six and seven
o'clock, A.M. going to Manchester, at Holly Green ; saw the
body the day after at the (;*k.
Fourth witness, ‘William Howarth, of Dishley-,Examined
roads the 17th July, near Hatfield House ; found stones left-
hand side 'of the road, 26 yards from boundary, between Hat-
field's and Manshall's house. Four stones were here produced
clotted with blood and hair, both extremely visible and appal-
Lug, and the atones large ; the sort of stones were what they
make walls with.
-Cross-examination—Plenty of blood on the grass, half a
yard square.
Fifth witness, Jonah Cheatham, manufacturer, at. Stockport
—Saw Wood at Stockport between two and three o'clock the
16th July (Wednesday); id him 481. and some shillings-
8/. in 1L country notes, 2 Al.o Derby notes, the rest in Bank of
England notes of 51. each, except one 101. Knew mark and
number of several; one a Si. Dank of England, No. 721, 21st
January, 1822, which he copied; recognized the tear in it.—
Stockport was about six miles front the murder.
Cross-examined—Wood had an umbrella and a small par-
cel when he left him; did not copy the Derby notes; did
not bring the book in which, the fetes were copied ; could
not have sworn to the note, unless he had copied it; could not
ascertain the note by the tear alone; made no memorandum of
notes paid to Wood ; all the M. notes he had he paid on Mon-
day; Whaley is near Derbyshire; Derby notes come more in
that neighhourhood—Wounsel argued that the evidence of the'
notes should be erased from the minutes, inasmuch as the books
were not produced, which took up a considerable time; how-
ever, it was finally rejected.l—Wnness did produce the memo-
randum from his book of the Si. note, which he made last Wed-
nesday; he can only swear to the note front the reference he
had to his book ; lett It at home.

Thomas Etchings, of Stone-Ed-go, between Whaley and
Dishley, remembers being on. the road on the lihli of July ;
between seven anti eight o'clock on the evening of Wed-
nesday, observed two young men on the road, between
two and three yards distance; ran with him about 4(1 yards;
walked up to him; one of them asked how far to Chapel Ic
Frith ; told them four miles; then they thanked him, and ran
again soon out of sight ; two dressed with dark coats, and the
third a dark coloured jacket, trowsers of the same ; saw red
marks on the person with light-coloured jacket; 4 or 5 inches
broad between his left shoulder and his elbow. This was half
a mile distant from the boundaryof Dishley and Whaley; saw 3
young men running as fast ea they could at the top of the hill ;
came into 'Whaley, stopped before they reached thetoll-bar ; they
passed through, walked sharply over the bridge ; one turned
at the public:house door, but could not tell whether he went
in ;two turned to the Buxton-road.

. .
William Beard, of 'Whaley, was on the turnpike-road 16th
July, about 13. These men were turning towards the toll-gate
leading to Buxton, which they went through.
Verdict_Guilty ; but (very unusual in cases of murder)
Chief-Justice IYannEN would not pass sentence till Wednes-
day, in consequence of the arguments in arrest of judgment by
lUessrs..l..ilv and JONES, the prisoner's Counsel.

PIGEON FLY mo.—Several persons residing at
Liege have lately been engaged in the establish-
ment of pigeon stations. A few days since 22
pigeons returned from Paris to Liege, having tra.
yelled 75 leagues, as the bird flies, in four hours,
which gives 18 leagues an hbur. Another expe.
riment has been made between Frankfort and
Liege. A third was made at Coblentz. The
object was to send off for Liege a great num-
ber of pigeons. Two among them arrived
at Liege in 2+ hours. The distance is only 30
leagues, about 12 leagues an hour. Making ob-
servations upon the different results, and follow-
ing the roads upon the maps, we are led to con-
clude, that the winding of rivers is an assistance
to pigeons finding their way back, whilst woods
andAtights impede their flight, or, at least, cc-
casia uncertainty in the direction they must
take. It ought to be known that the famous pi-
geons which travel between Aleppo and Alexan-
dria are of a particular class—the columba
laria.--(Paris Paper.)

CAUTION TO COACIIMF.N" AND GUARDS.---011
Thursday evening, when the Yarmouth mail
arrived at Ipswich, after the guard had taken out
his bags to convey them to the Post office, a man
who was an outside passenger very deliberately
took a parcel out of the mail box, wrapped it up
in a great coat, and threw the coat and parcel
down on the ground. A man who attends the
mail on its arrival came in bight at this time, and
the passenger who had thrown down the coat got
down, and carelessly removed it to the office door
evidently to avoid suspicion. The man challenged
him with it, and informed the guard ; the fellow
m ed lately ran away, leaving his booty and t wa,coatit
and an umbrella. It turns out he was one of a
gang of seven who came up from Yarmouth, and
is now in Ipswich gaol, for picking the pocket of
a gentleman of Ipswich. The remainder of the
gang have not been heard of : it is strongly sus-
pected they have been watching the coach some
time, and supposed they had got hold of a
banker's parcel.

WATEItSPOITTe—SittUraRy the town and nei,th.
bourhood of Padiham , were thrown into conster-
nation by the.appearance of a very large water-
spout. When first seen, it seemed to have risen
from clouds which were gathering thick round
Hamilton : soon after it assumed a more terrific
appearance, and veered to the north-west. Its
this quarter it displayed every symptom. of im-
mediate explosion, but suddenly made a rapid cir-
cuit to the west. In its passage, the noise which
it created represented the distant roar of
the sea on a rocky shore; but as it con-
tinned to ascend, the tone was altered, and
resembled more the compressed discharge of
steam from a boiler. The revolutions which
it made in its transit were awfully grand ; and
its attractive faculties of re-uniting , the vo-
lumes of mist which issued from its side were be-
yond description beautiful. After repeated as-
cents and descents, it varied its form with
astonishing rapidity; at one period its longitudi-
nal extent must have been very considerable, and
in the next moment, the point, which left no more
than eighty yards from itself to the earth, was
embosowed 'in the mass. It continued these
transmutations for an hour, and then was buried
in the clouds. Immediately on its disappearance,
the atmosphere became densely dark, and the
most vivid lightning and tremendous thunder that
,has been heard in the neighbourhood fur many
years ensued.—(.Blackburn
KETRA'ORDEVARY two weeks
ago, ti determined fellow, at present a prisoner
in the Toilmoth of Stirling, after eluding fur a
long time the officers of justice, was secured, and
brought under an escort of dragoons to Fah
kirk. In the resistance he made, when ap-
prehended, he was wounded, and consequently
on his arrival in Falkirk a surgeon was imme-
diately called, who found that a stroke of a
sabre had not only made a deep incision above the
thumb, but had completely cut through the fore-
finger 'of his right hand, close under the third
joint, leaving it attached merely by a small por-
tion of skin. The surgeon, as a matter of course,
proposed to cut off Hid dangling digit, which the
prisoner had carried in his hand, literally to pre-
vent it being lost. Amputation would have beets
performed accordingly, had not a young gen-
tleman interpOsed, and partly from humanity,
and partly from curiosity, determined that
an adhesion should be attempted. The ne-
cessary bandages, &c. were immediately pro-
cured, and the finger nen tly replaced, with
alt the clotted blood about it. —1 t was
several days after his removal to our jail before
the wound was examined, when it was fouud.
that the experiment had been attended with
complete. success, and that " nature had wrought

ed, and can be used nearly as readily as before.

DAILY
Extracts Pram the Morning Papers, August 27.

[Tai -TnuEs.]
The Moniteur, and other Paris Journals, of
Sunday last, contain no intelligence of import-
ance, except that it appears that the French
have been disappointed as to the result of ano-
ther act of military treachery. According to a
letter from Perpignan, Manse, in deserting to
The enemy, has been able to carry with him only
41 men and his own clisgrace. On the 6th; at
Venkell, hi signed his submission, and it was
forwarded to Moncey. On the 7th he stilt flat-
tered himself that.he would be able to sedu.ce the
whole of his division, but a violent commotion
having taken place in his camp, and Milins being
on his march to Vendrell with a strong detach.
ment, the traitor, to avoid being arrested, fled in
all haste with his few wretched adherents. It
must be owned, however, that this discovery of
treachery among the troops under Mina in Cata-
lonia, hitherto so zealous in their resistance to
the French, is sufficiently discouraging to the
Constitutional cause.

Intelligence by express was received yester-
day from Madrid of the 18th inst. by an eminent
mercantile house in the city, that the Duke of
Angoule►me arrived at Port St. Mary's on the
16th, and that immediately on his arrival a flag
of truce was sent into Cadiz, with propositions
for a negotiation with the Cortes. The intelli-
gence proceeds to state, that that assembly de-
clined receiving any such propositions, unless the
French Generalissimo was authorized to unite
with them a proffer of the mediation of England
between the negotiating parties. No hint is given
whether the treaty was proposed with the Cortes
as the representatives of the Spanish nation, or
as a prelude to that " personal capitulation"
lately defined by the Journal des IMbals. The
Intelligence must, therefore, be received with
some degree of distrust, but may be allowed,
perhaps, to establish one important point at least
—that the first offers of negotiation have pro-
ceeded from the French General—a confession,
so far, of the difficulties of his situation.—(kid.)

In the Cadiz Papers, from which extracts were
given in our last, we find an important decree issued
by the King (see another column of THE Sup),
in consequence of the address presented by cer-
tain Grandees of Spain to the Duke -of Angou-
leme. Those who were base enough to sign that
deed of infamy, are declared traitors, deprived
of, their titles, offices, and emoluments, and their
property is ordered to be sequestrated. The
penalties, however, do not extend to the children
or heirs of the traitorous Grandees, if they prove
themselves faithful to the Constitution.--(Aid)

[MORNING POST.]
'rhe French Papers which arrived last night'
brought neither Military nor political intelligence
of any kind, but speculations in abundance.
The deClaration of the Journal des Delials that
the Ministers would "never treat with the Cortes
as a political Body," coming as it did after
an assurance given by the same Publication,
that the Duke of Angouleme was going to
Port St. Mary's " for the purpose of listening
to proposals of accommodation," had created much
surprise and some alarm. It was suppoSed that
something had occurred to interrupt the regu-
lir course of the negociatipns, and that the
sudden Change of opinion on the partof the Mi-
aiterial Paper, was occasioned by the knowledge
that their object had failed, and by the wish of
making it appear that the rupture proceeded
from the pleasure of France, and not from the un-
bending resolution of the Constitutionalists, This
was only.a thrmige, but it certainly, derives some
probability from • the political vacillations lately-
displayed by the Journal in question. " Yester-
dayt" says the Constitullonnel, adverting to the
conduct Of that Paper, " it welcomed every idea
of conciliation, every ward of pence : to-day the
pOlitiCians of the Treasury repel them, and vow
that they will never capitulate with Revolution-
ists, nor treat With the Cortes as a Political Body.
What does so sudden a change' signify ? Has all
hope of conciliation vanished.away ? Or have the
WO with Whom it is so formally declared that
tie treaty is to be made, taken. the initiative in so
vigorous a resolution ? = is it the announcement
of an approaching triumph which is prepared, or
the mortification of a refusal which it attempt-
ed to disguise.?" All doubts respecting the au-
thenticity of the Decree issued by the Duke of
Angouleme at Andujar are now removed. It has
appeared, and been made the .
.subject of obser-
vation in the Ministerial and Ultra journals, both
