ROYAL SYMPATHY.—On the arrival of her Majesty
at Scone Palace, a bonfire was lit up on the top of
Birnam-hill, so famed by Shakspeare, under the
superintendence of Daniel Maclauchlan, and on his
returning home by a near path about midnight, he
missed his :footing, and fell over a precipice of 200
feet high. Next morning he was found a breathing
insensible mass. About the time that her Majesty
was passing his house to join in the festivities at
Dunkeld the poor fellow died, his bedside surrounded
by his wife and his infant family. The melancholy
catastrophe was made known by an English resident
in Dunkeld to Sir Robert Peel; and we have the
satisfaction of stating that her Majesty was graciously
pleased to give the disconsolate family 301. and Prince
Albert 20/. This relief has proved a great boon to
the widow and her infant family.

lution passed ; it was proposed by Pilling, " That we
should go to Manchester and stop all the mills." Pil-
ling said as it was a rainy morning we had better go
to our breakfasts, and come again at one o'clock, and
then proceed to Manchester. There was an amend-
ment moved, " That we should go then," and George
Southam said "There was nothing like time present
—you go to Manchester, and I'll lead you up." Pilling
then said, "As I am beaten I must give in, but as
you have got a cotton master at your head you cannot
take much hurt, so I will go home and get my break-
fast, and follow you to Manchester." I did not go to
Manchester. There was nothing Wore the meeting
but the " wage question," until Mr. Southam intro-
duced the Charter and the Corn-laws. The prisoner
Southam said, if they would go for the total repeal of
the Corn-laws he would go with them heart and
hand to any meeting or procession they thought pro-
per to propose.
Robert Newton, the deputy constable of Ashton,
deposed that the whole of the prisoners were in his
custody on a charge of conspiracy, and that between
the 26th of July and the 19th of September last many
meetings had been held, and serious breaches of the
peace had been committed in consequence of such
meetings.
Mr. John Gatley, deputy constable of Stalybridge,
deposed to the same effect, as regarded Stalybridge
and Dukinfield.

This was the case for the prosecution, Mr. Hall,
the Clerk to the Magistrate, having intimated that he
would not call any more evidence,
Mr. HUDSON addressed the Court on behalf of the
prisoners for some time, and urged that no case had
been made out to warrant the Magistrates in sending
them to trial. He would not call any witness on be-
half of the six prisoners ; but on the part of Mr.
Southam he would trouble the Court with some evi-
dence, which tended to show that he had been forced
to take the chair on the occasion alluded to, and had
advised quietness rather than disturbance, being
against the violent measures proposed.
This being the whole of the evidence on both sides,
the Magistrates retired into their private room, and
returned in about fifteen minutes.

Mr. EVANS said that after due deliberation they
were of opinion that they were all cases for a Jury
to decide, except that of Welby, who should be bound
over to keep the peace for six months, himself in 501.,
and two sureties in 251. each. The other prisoners
were then committed to take their trials a the forth-
coming Special Commission, but they would all be
admitted to bail, Johnson, Pitt, Woodroffe, Storah
and Bryerly, themselves in 501., and two sureties in
25/., and Mr. Southam in 1001. and two sureties in
501. each. Bail was forthcoming and the prisoners
were liberated.

character. It was a subject of regret that the release
of ~I,e'Leod was so long delayed, A State Court, and
that not of the highest jurisdiction, decided that, on
summary application, embarrassed, as it would ap-
pear, by technical difficulties, he could rot be released
ty that Court. His discharge, shortly afterwards by
a Jury, to whom he prefered to submit his case, ren-
dered unnecessary the further prosecution of the legal
question.
It is for the Congress of the United States, whose
.c.ttention has been called to the subject, to say what
farti;ser provisions ought to he made to expedite pro-
ceedings in such cases; and, in answer to your Lord-
questioa toward the close of your note, I have to
say that the Government of the United States holds
itself not only fully disposed, but fully competent to
carry into practice every principle which it avows or
acknowledges, and to fulfil every duty and obligation
which it owes to foreign Governments, their citizens
or subjects.—l have the honour to be, my Lord, with
great consideration, your obedient servant,
Lord Ashburton, &c. DANIEL WEBSTER.

A PROFESSIONAL STEAK.—We hada good dinner, of
course: good dinners constitute portions of travelling
equipages, with two servants in the rumble. Few
people have any idea of the systematic principle upon
which your free vintner exhibits his rations of solids
and liquids : accident alone let me into the secret.
I happened to be in the act of ascending the stairs o'
one of .the free-and-easies in the vicinity of Covent-
garden, dedicated to midnight melody and mutton-
chops, as the waiter from the landing-place thus be •
spoke the chef de cuisine :—" Cook, six muttons,
four Welsh rabbits, and three steaks' (professional),"
with a fall of the voice. Never having, seen steaks of
that sort, I watched for their appearance with some
curiosity. As I entered the room, " Glorious Apollo"
was in full grind, first, second, and third, pumping
out .their lungs as for dear life. The song ended; in
came the supper; each of the glorious Apollos being
supplied with a slice of flesh, " all bone and gristle,
like a dying gladiator." I never see a dogs -meat
barrow without thinking of a professional steak.—

BO W-STREET.

A most respectably attired and good-looking young
female, who gave the name of Mary Ann Clifford, was
charged with the following robbery from the person,
at the Adelaide Gallery.
Mrs. Jane Batts, of N 0.36, Albany-street, Regent's
Park, stated that she went to the Adelaide Gallery
yesterday, and that she joined hands with the prisoner
on the one side, and another person on the other side
to form a ring for the purpose of being electrified.
The shock had just been given when witness perceived
that her gown was up as if some one had been at-
tempting to gain access to her pocket ; it immediately
flashed across her mind that her pocket had been
picked whilst she was being electrified, and on feeling
for her purse, she found that it was gone. She at
once accused the prisoner of having robbed her, but
she strenuously denied it ; witness, however, saw a
purse in her hand when she first accused her, and
shortly afterwards she heard it drop on the floor from
the prisoner's hand. It contained IN. 6d. in silver.
Richard Thompson, constable at the Lowther Ar-
cade, proved taking the prisoner into custody, and
causing her to be searched at the station-house, where
two other purses were found upon her, one containing
1/. 4s. 6d., and the other 17d. in copper.
.The prisoner denied all knowledge of the prosecu-
trix purse. The others found upon her were her own.
She refused to give any account of herself.
Mr. TWYFORD committed her for trial.

manded from this Court on the charge of absconding

DANTZIC.

SEPT. 8.- -The richest man in Dantzic, John
Christopher Grass, has just died, in his 72d year, and
the first house in Dantzic (Lubienski and Co.), has
been obliged to call its creditors together. Before
taking this resolution, an express was sent to Warsaw
to the noble relations and to the Polish Bank, with
which the house has been closely connected ever since
its establishment ; and it was not till a refusal to
assist was received that this decisive step was taken.
It is said that the house purchased in the course of
last winter five or six thousand lasts of wheat in the
interior of Poland, at high prices, part of which is
still there, because the river Bieg is too shallow for
the corn vessels to come down, and that the recent
losses may amount to 600,000 dollars. But few
houses here are losers, and those to only a moderate
amount; foreign houses in llamburgh, London,
Odessa, and Warsaw, are said to be great sufferers.

SUICIDE FROM WATERLOO•DRIDGE. This day,
about half-past twelve, Henry Lawless, a man about
30 years of age, threw himself from the bridge. A
cry was instantly raised by some persons, who wit.
nessed the act, and boats put off to the assistance of
the unfortunate man, but not in time to save his life.
The body was soon found, but life was extinct. The
deceased was a porter out of place, and resided in the
Hampstead-road.
GOT"' E SEP. 12.—An express from Lille
Edet (on the Gota-Elf, or Trolhatta Canal) brought
yesterday the melancholy intelligence that all the
water-works at that
night. place were destroyed by fire on
Saturday The fire broke out in the mill,
which
was burnt in three hours, as well as some large
saw mills, and the whole stock of deals already sawed.
The damage exceeds 100,000 dollars banco (not in-
cluding the stock of timber) which is mostly insured
in England. Happily the wind blew towards the
town, otherwise all the dwelling houses would have
been burnt.

RELA

LORD DE GREY VERSUS LORD ELIOT.
DUBLIN, SEPT. 20.—The Evening Mail, last night,
comforts the Orange party with the intelligence that
Lord De Grey is coming back to Ireland, to take the
reins out of the unskilful hands of the Chief Secre-
tary, and to put an end to the " pranks" he has been
playing in regard to the College election and other
matters, the question of national education included!
The Mail says :—" His Excellency has had more
than one interview with Sir James Graham, the
Home Secretary, and we look with anxiety for his
return to this country, in the assurance that his pre-
sence and his influence will put an end to those
pranks which have been" playing with such detriment
to his government in his absence by his most mis-
chievous Secretary, who assumed the office of his locum
tenens.

This is a very gratifying picture of our "United
Government," drawn by the Orange organ.

Patronized by her Majesty, H. R. H. Prince Albert, her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Kent, and the principal Nobility.
MR. THOMAS'S SUCCEDANEITM, for stop-
ping decayed teeth, however large the cavity. It is
far superior to anythitig ever before used, as it is placed in the
tooth in a soft state, without any pressure or pain, and in a
short time becomes as hard as the enamel, and will remain firm
in the tooth for life, rendering extraction unnecessary. It
arrests all further progress of decay, and renders the teeth again
useful in mastication. All persons can use Mr. Thomas's
Succedaneum themselves with ease, without the aidof a dentist,
as full directions are enclosed.
Prepared only by the inventor, Mr. Thomas, surgeon-
dentist, 68, Berners-street, Oxford-street. Price 45. 6d.

. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—YESTEILDAY.
The favourites most in favour, yesterday afterno:n, were
the Frederica colt, Auckland, the Lord of Holderness, and
Jack. Of this lot the first opened at 7 to 2, taken in hundreds ;
several other bets at that price were succeeded by 1,500 to
500, and 300 to 100 in three or four places, and as 7 to 2 was
offered throughout against Attila (4 to 1 was betted twice) ;
the Stockbridge nag was decidedly established as first
favourite ; the odds against each, as "(riven below, were currently
offered at the close. Auckland had a strong party at 12 to 1,
taken frequently ; his backers would have gone on. The Lord
of Holderness began at 16 to 1, and at one moment had sup-
porters at an improved price, but gave way on the advance of
Jack, who came late in the afternocn, and was backed freely
at 18 to 1. As this see-saw game has been played over and
over agam it would be hard to say which of the two will be the
favourite on Thursday, or whether both will not be displaced
by Meteor, who closed at takers of 30 to 1, after 1,000 to 25
and 1,000 to 30 had been laid five or six times. A few other
horses were backed, but not at odds or to amounts to call for
observation. Nothing done on the Oaks.

pare books at least t.vo or three days, say Thursday, before the
race ; the neglect of this precaution bars occasioned numberless
wrangles, and cannot be too strongly reprobated.

the pride of the Barberini collection, at Rome, and English con-

son's minority, in order to enable her to pay some gaming
debts, sold them to the well-known Byers, an English cicerone
at Rome, for 500/. ; he. in turn, sold them to Sir William Ha-

in articles of vertu, sold them, with a fine cameo of Augustus,
and a fragment of an intaglio of Hercules, to the Duchess of
Portland, for 2,000/. On her death, the greater or more bulky
part of her collections were sold in May and June, 1786, when
