About 40 minutes before high water the signal was
tired, but, from the anxiety of the gentlemen to get away,
this was a false start. Another signal and another false
start succeeded, and great apprehensions were entertained
that the gentlemen, by these delays, would lose tide. A
third time they were placed, and, at the appointed signal,
three pairs went off with great rapidity, the others being
indifferent at first. Pink had the lead, Azure and Green
being stroke and stroke, and close with the Captain'.
quarter. There could not have been a more gratifying
sight to the admirers of aquatics. The gentlemen main-
tained their positions until nearing the church. Azure had
enjoyed the second place, and Green was drawing on them
beautifully. The match was not so pretty here as it had
been at the commencement. Pink became distressed nod
fell back, and Azure led the van, and arrived first at Ham-
mersmith by about four minutes; Green was second ; and
Purple, who had rowed steadily, came up third. The
winners were the favourites at starting, There were Ina
few boats on the river.

THE FUR TRADE.—We learn by accounts
from the United States, that the American Fur Company
were making great efforts to rival that of Hudson', Ray,
for which purpose they despatched a steam-boat, which
hal returned after a voyage of 2,000 miles up the Alis_
ionri, bringing back a rich and full cargo of furs, peltries,
tad buffalo robes. The steamer ascended the Missouri
700 miles further than on the preceding year;
thus prov-
mg the entire practicability of steam navigation in that
upper region. This enterprise it was expected
hettede
prove detrimental to the British traders, a

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday John Smith, a young man of respect-
able appearance, was brought before Mr. MURRAY
for final examination, charged with stealing three
10/. Bank of England notes, the property of Mr.
William Bailey, ironmonger of Gracechurch-street,
and Thomas Wild, a young man of equally respect-
able appearance, was charged with being concerned
in the same robbery. Upon a former examination
the prisoner Smith attempted to destroy himself by
swallowing a quantity of laudanum, while standing
at the bar of this office, hut was prevented from
taking the whole contents of the phial which con-
tained the liquid, owing to its being dashed out of
his hand by a person who stood near him. The
stomach-pump was had recourse to, in order to save
his life.
The Magistrate committed Smith for trial, and
remanded Wild for further examination.

Yesterday afternoon, an inquest was held be-
fore Mr. STIRLING, at the Globe public-house, Stephen-
street, Lisson-grove, on the body of THOMAS FALCUS,
tobacconist, No, 69, Lisson-grove North. It appeared
from the evidence, that the deceased, who was a fine man
about 40 )ears of age, was formerly a seaman in the British
navy, and had received several wounds in his head, which
at intervals brought on either a desperate fit of madness or
a melancholy depression of spirits. On Sunday morning,
about half-past 11, he called upon his brother, Mr. JOHN
FALCUS, of 15, Adam-street West, Marylebone, on which
occasion deceased appeared very dejected ; he remained
with him until half-past 1 o'clock, and then signified his
intention of going to M. HEDGE, a surgeon, in Fetter-
lane, to he cupped, as his head was getting bad, but in-
stead of doing so he proceeded to Mr. diteusele's, a
surgeon, living next door to deceased, and purchased a
quantity of arsenic, for the alleged purpose of killing
mice; and Mr. GILLESPIE not being aware of his occa-
sional fits of insanity, both the deceased and his wife tying
purchased the same drug frequently before, he made no
hesitation in letting him have it. The deceased then went
into his own shop, and having procured some water and a
glass, mixed up the poison and swallowed it. Every pos-
sible medical assistance was rendered, but to no elect, for
the deceased expired at 9 o'clock the same evening. lle
frequently said he had taken the poison himself, but re-
fused to assign any reason for so doing. The Jury, after
consulting together for upwards of two hours, returned
the following verdict t—g‘ That the deceased took p aeon,
being at the time in a state of extreme agitation "

MARLB OR 0 U GR- S TREE T.

A lady, accompanied by some friends, waited nn
Mr. DYER, to request his advice in the following
matter :

About five years ago she had been separated from
her husband, who had become insolveht, ail& was' the
next day about to get his discharge under the In-
solvent Debtors' Act. When under examination
before the Commissioners he had sworn that his
first wife (the applicant) was dead, and that he was
married to a French lady of large property, with
whom he had been for some time living. As no one
opposed him, he was ordered to be discharged forth-
with, and as she (the applicant) was certain his in-
tention was to leave this country with the French
lady whom he had avowed to be his wife, she wished
to have a warrant to apprehend him for bigamy.

Mr. DYER inquired what proof she bad of the
second marriage ? The applicant had not yet had

time to obtain the needful Proof, as the intimation
of the second marriage' had only been conveyed to
her a few hours ago, when her husband was brought
up to the Insolvent Court. Application had been
made to the governor of the prison, and he had
advised her to take the opinion of the Magistrate.
Mr. DYER said the wife could not act in any way
in this matter. The best 'course to pursue, would,
perhaps, be, for some person to give the husband
into custody when he waseleased, when he would
be brought before a Magistrate on a charge of biga-
rdy, and the proofs would be gone into.
The lady thanked the Magistrate, and retired with
her friends.

OXFORD CIRCUIT, MoNmounr, Auousr 10.
Uriah Sharman and John Duffield were indicted for
having forcibly entered the cottage of Mary George, at
Usk, and stealing from thence five sovereigns and various
articles of food.

Mary George, aged 67, the prosecutrix, stated, that on
the night of the robbery she was in bed, when she was
awoke, and found a man in her bed-room searching her
boxes. He threatened violence to her if she were not
quiet, and held an iron bar over her bead. He then went
into the room of her grand-daughter, and she (the grand-
daughter) had a scuffle with the man, and in the scuffle
the money was knocked out of his hand upon the floor.
The young girl succeeded in ejecting him from the house,
and bolting the door, with the assistance of witness.
Meg George, the younger, grand-daughter of the last
witness, corroborated her statement. The prisoner used
much violence to her.—(This was Sharman—the other
prisoner was identified as being with him.)
Other witnesses were examined, one of whom was an
accessary after the fact, and who was admitted as King's
evidence. Their testimony was conclusive against the
prisoners, and the Jury found them both Guilty.
The Learned Judge sentenced them to transportation
for life, and told Sharman that it was with great difficulty
that be had decided upon sparing his life.

THE INTENDED ILLUMINATION.

Mr. Thomas announced to Mr. Halls, the Magistrate,
that according to his request he had waited upon Sir
Francis Burdett last night, respecting the intended general
illumination. The worthy Baronet totally disclaimed any
knowledge of the advertisement, and that he was quite
averse to such a mode of public demonstration.
Mr. HALLS said he was glad the public was set right
upon the subject.

CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT
London, England, 1832-08-11

THE EGYPTIAN CAMPAIGN.

ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 24.—Ibrahim Pacha, who set ou
the Bth instant from the camp of St. Jean d'Acre to
march upon Damascus, entered the latter town upon the
15th, after having easily dispersed the troops which de.
fended it. From Damascus the Egyptian army will pro-
ceed to Aleppo, to occupy the passes through which th
Ottomans must come if they make any efforts for re
conquering Syria. They have at this moment no other
forces in that province than about ten thousand irregulio
troops encamped at Hamah. This camp, fortified in great
haste, will offer but a feeble resistance, and it is pro-
bable that Ibrahim will be at Aleppo towards the end of
the month. In that favourable position, master of Syria
and all the passes leading to it, at the head of an army of
56,000 men, possessing a numerous cavalry and an ex-
cellent artillery, he will await Field-Marshal Hussein
Pacha, who has been ordered by the Porte to exterminate
the rebels of Mehemed Ali. To attain this end the Porte,
it is true, could only send out with her general an army of
from 25,000 to 30,000 men, well supplied with Pachas,
it is true, but without artillery, horses, war storse, or pro-
visions to traverse an immense extent of country destitute
of resources and without good roads. The Egyptian
army at Damascus consists only of 30,000 men a division
of 20,000 men having been detached to observe the camp
at Hamah. Two new regiments left Cairo to join Ibra-
him Pacha, whose army will then amount to 60,000 men.
As Ibrahim had been informed that the cholera, or, ac-
cording to others, the plague, was making great ravaFts
in the camp and town of Hamah, he applied for new in-
structions to Mehemed Ali prior to his march on Aleppo.
Orders were immediately transmitted to him to march
forward, as a general should not be arrested in the execu•
tion of his orders by the inclemency of the seasons, by dis-
eases, or any other dangers. The Egyptian squadron is
still cruising off our port, waiting for the coming out of
the Ottoman fleet, which it intends to encounter. The
fourth ship of 100 guns will probably be ready to join
the squadron in a fortnight. The naval forces will then
consist of four ships of 100 guns, eight frigates, of which
six carry 60 guns, fifteen sloops or brigs, six fireships, and
one steam-vessel. The ships of the line are commanded
as follows :—No. 1, by Hussard, a Frenchman ; No. 2,
by Prisseck, an Englishman ; No. 3, by Belson, a French.
man; No. 4, by a young Turk, who has been recalled
from Toulon, where he had been five years in the French
navy, and passed through all the grades to that of lieu-
tenant.

CANTERBURY, AUG. 9.

I have much pleasure in adding to my former commu-
nication that the inhabitants have come forward and
signed an address, expressive of the indignation they feel
at the late outrageous assault upon his Grace the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury. Many hundred persons have al-
ready attached their signatures to it, of all parties, and
it is to be presented with every possible despatch. His
Grace complains that the Corporation invited him to their
board, and neglected to afford proper protection to his per-
son. Thomas Duthoit, William Moffat (formerly gar-
dener to the Duke of Bedford), and several other indi-
viduals, have been held to bail, to answer any charge that
may be preferred against them at the Session. One indi-
vidual, named Olieve, a shoemaker, is charged with throw-
ing a dirty pocket handkerchief into the carriage, and
using opprobrious epithets. It has been well ascertalned
that persons, hitherto deemed respectable, plied the rabble
with ardent spirits, and then sallied forth, inciting them
to acts of outrage ; what is more, they hare long inden-
tified themselves with the Tory party. I assure you, that
persons of respectability deplore the circumstance exceed-
ingly; and I do not believe the Archbishop would have
received any insult but for the circumstance of the Cor-
poration having laid out a large suns to receive him with
due honour, at a time when the public funds are at a low
ebb, and the wants of the poor extremely pressing. his
Grace has given notice that he will consecrate the Church
of St. Mary, Northgate, on Tuesday next ; meantime lie
continues to reside at the Deanery.—Morning Advertiser.

SUSPECTED MURDER.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Thi; morning, a man named Jam's Hobbs, apparently
about 60 years of age, was brought before Mr. HALLS, the
Magistrate, on suspicion of having murdered his wife.
It appeared that the prisoner and his wife, who is much
younger than himself, lodged in a room on the first floor
of a house in great St. Andrew-street, Seven Dials, and
always lived very unhappily together. Last nigh',
about twelve o'clock, the prisoner came in a breath-
less state to the house of Mr. Owen, a surgeon,
and requested him to come immediately, as he
feared his wife was very poorly. Mr. Owen repaired im-
mediately to the house, when, to his astonishment, he found
the lifeless body of the poor woman lying upon the ground,
with part of a rope tied tightly round her neck, and the
remainder attached to the bed-post, she having been
strangled. Suspicion immediately fell upon the prisoner,
and he was taken into custody. In answer to the
questions put to him, he gave the following singular ac-
count of the circumstance : —He states that at about
half-past 9 o'clock he left home, leaving his wife in bed
fast asleep. He went to a public•house in the neighbour-
hood, where he smoked his pipe, and remained there till
12 o'clock, when he returned home to go to bed; upon
entering the room, he was alarmed at discovering his de-
ceased wife hanging by the neck to the bed-post. He
shook her and spoke to her, but she never answered, upon
which he cut her down, and ran immediately for surgical
assistance, as he considered it was quite necessary. He
declared most solemnly that that was all he knew of the
matter.

Mr. Thomas said that the affair had produced a great
sensation in the neighbourhood, and that very strong sus-
picion rested upon the prisoner.
Mr. HALLS asked if any persons had seen the prisoner
enter the house between the time he left on the first occa-
sion and the time he returned, as he says, at 12 o'clock.
Mr. Thomas s he should at a future time be prepared
with further evidence, and as the Coroner's Inquest had
not yet sat, perhaps it would be proper to remand the
prisoner.
The prisoner was remanded accordingly.
London, England, 1832-08-11

Tlilt FUNDS.

Consols opened this morning at the same price they left
off at yesterday, 831 for the Account, with no animation in
the Market to the present hour, nor is it supposed there will
be any until the arrival of the express from Paris, which
is not expected to bring any political news of importance.
The chief object why the speculators are looking for the ex-
press, is to ascertain the price of the French Rentes, and
the new French Loan.

In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet.
HALF-PAST ORE.
Up to the present time we do not hear of an express
from Paris in the City, but we are informed one has arrived
with the marriage of King Leopold to the King of
France's daughter. The only transactions in the Funds
of any consequence this morning was the sale of 50,0001.
Consols, and a purchase of 40,0001. reduced. Consols
may be quoted at present at 831 i for the Account.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing in the French
Loan; Portuguese Regent Scrip, 4+ to 4 discount.

We are sorry to learn that Mr. ELLICE has
resigned his situation as Secretary of the Treasury. His
vigour, his straightforward conduct, his good sense, and
his good humour, will not easily be replaced. He knew
how to spur the reluctant, and to check the petulant.
His loss, we think, will be severely felt. Mr. CHARLES
Noon, a son-in-law of Lord GREY, will succeed him, of
whom we can at least say that he has the character of an
active and diligent man of business. Colonel GREY will
succeed, pro tempore, 11r. WOOD as Private Secretary of
the Premier.-- Times.

A numerous meeting of the electors of West-
minster took place last evening at the Crown and Anchor
Tavern, when a petition was numerously agreed upon, to
be presented to the House of Commens, complaining of
the clause limiting the time of payment of the rates, and
praying an extension of time. The subject of an illumi-
nation was taken into consideration, when it was agreed
that no demonstration of public joy should take place at
present, and that the advertisements in the daily papers
have not been authorised by the Westminster Committee.

Several gardeners in the environs of Rotter-
dam have laterobserved that the morning dew, instead of
being
limpid as it usually is, has presented an oily appear-
ance, and adhered to the fingers. It will be for naturalists
to decide whether this new quality is in the dew itself, or
is communicated to it through some unwholesome ema-
nation from the plants; but it has been remarked, that
the phenomenon appeared simultaneously with the cholera.
At the time of the death of the late Hon.
Mrs. SMITH, there were no less than eight eminent mem-
bers of the faculty, all in the house, consulting upon her
case !
London, England, 1832-08-11

STAGE-COACH DUTIES BILL.

Mr. L[UME presented a petition from Mr. Shillibeer,
praying for an alteration of this Bill.
Colonel SIBTHORPE complained of the inconvenience
created by the multiplication of omnibuses and the care-
less conduct of their drivers.

Sir C. BURRELL thought some restriction for the
Beet), of the public was necessary.
Mr. Alderman WOOD said, that in all cases of miscon-
duct on the part of drivers, the law offered an easy remedy.
The petition was laid on the table.
Mr. HUME presented petitions from places in Somer-
setshire and Kent, for an alteration in the tithe system.
He was quite convinced that the time was come when an
equitable commutation for tithes must be established.
Mr. HUME presented a petition from R. T. Webb,
complaining of the duty on advertisements.
London, England, 1832-08-11

COPYRIGHT.

The Earl of ROSSLYN presented a petition from the
publishing booksellers of London, praying that the Aber-
deen University Bill might be postponed till next Session.
The Bishop of LONDON said, that the claim of the
Universities to 11 copies of each book operated as an un-.
equal tax. The author who published a thousand copies
of a book, and he who published only 100, sent each an
equal number of copies to every University—namely, 11
copies ; but the former work might be worth only one
guinea a copy, whilst the latter might be worth 10 guineas.
It was proposed to give the University of Aberdeen 5001.
a-year for sacrificing their privilege, but he knew other
bodies who possessed the same privilege, who would wil-
lingly dispose of it for 3001. Under these circumstances,
he thought it premature to legislate upon the subject, and
he wished the Bill to he postponed.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE admitted that the
Copy-right Act operated as an onerous tax upo❑ litera-
ture; but he thought it desirable that the Bill should pass
as speedily as possible, in order to enable the Government
to carry into effect the convention withFrance.—Adjourned.
London, England, 1832-08-11

CASE OF SOMERVILLE.

Mr. HUNT said that, from what appeared upon the
papers before the House, he conceived that a severe repri•-
mind had been pronounced by the Court of Inquiry upon
Aljor 'Wyndham, and, therefore, concluded that it had
been proved Somerville had been tried for a breach of mi-
litary discipline, and punished for writing to a Newspaper.
He now wished to ask the Noble Lord (Althorp) if it was
the intention of Government to give this man his discharge?
Lord ALTHORP said, that with respect to the censure
upon Major Wyndham, which the Hon. Member had de-
duced from the papers before the House, he assured him
that he was entirely mistaken in the grounds of the deci-
sion of the Court of Inquiry. It was clearly proved that
the man bad not been tried for one offence and punished
for another. In reply to the Hon. Member's question, he
had to state that it was probable the min would be dis-
charged. It had been the intention of Government to
discharge bim previous to the Court of Inquiry, but that
having been agreed on, it was impossible to do anything
until after the decision.
