The contrast between the crowded streets of Edin-
burgh
during his MAJESTY'S stay, and the still calm
that succeeded his departure, is very striking indeed,
pay, affecting. It appears as if.some dreadful plague
had swept thousands to the grave, or as if the genius
of fell destruction had commenced his consuming'
career. Auld Reale now, however, begins to assume
signs of returning life. Those who make emigrations
to the country during the summer and autumnal
months, are beginning to shew their faces in her
streets. The Courts of Law will soon commence their
sittings; that seat of learning, the University, has
already received within its bosom crowds of students;
and, in short, in a few days bustle and activity will
again resume their functions, add vigour., and inspire-
fresh courage, into those particularly who, after his
MAJESTY% visit, were doomed to pass these gloomy
months in Edinburgh, either from, inability to leave it,
.actuated by adventitious circumstances, or a studious
regard to profession and business.

MATCH TO TITS THIRTY-SIXTH MILE STONE
ON THE BATH ROAD.
This match was for 200 guineas, undertaken by Mr. Rstrir
Asemirrisv, brother of the Scots pedestrian, who rivalled the

match to Nottingham. This match (7Y miles) the pedestrian
engaged to do in 25 hours, and he started ftom Pituli:o at three
o'clock on Sunday morning. Betting was ito4 on time. He

A public adverthement had announced that a di
ner would be .given to JAMES BYRNE, Lb! victim f
the villainy of the late Bishop of Cr.ocirett. T 1 e
dinner took place yesterday, at five o'clock, at the
Horni Tavern, Kennington. About 100 persons were
present. The Ea• Sheriff PARKINS was in the chair,
and BYRNE sat on his left, and appears to be about
45 years of age. The sufferings of BYRNE certainly
claim commiseration, more particularly as it does not
appear that he ever sheered any disposition to come
to a compromise with his cruel and powerful pers
cntor. A subscription was commenced in the room
for BYRNE and his family, who were introduced to
the assembly.
A more noble, instance of humanity has perhaps never been
exhibited than that of a generous merchant at Riga, who h.
released this year, 325 persons eonsned for debt.
Yesterday morning.the following dreadful accident
happened to a Mr: NELSON, bricklayer, at Kentish-
town: In ascending a three-story ladder, in order to
inspect some repairs at the house of the Rev. Mr.
GRANT, and_ when near the summit of the ladder,
his foot slipped, and he was precipitated to the bot-
tom, whereby he received so much injury, that he
died in Goodge-street, as he was being conveyed to
the Middlesex Hospital.
A distressing accident occurred early in the morn-
ing of Wednesday. 'las:, at the brewery of Messrs.
Brenchley and Wise, at ?4aidstone. ,It appearing that
there was some impediment to the woi king o • the
steamengine, the persons employed below ascended
for the purpose of ascertaining the cause, when they
perceived Mr. Lepper, the engineer, lying senseless
beside the wheel, his right arm having been caught
between the cogs, and so dreadful), I?cerated as to
be, literally drawn into fibres : the unfortunate man
was immediately conveyed to his home, and the tens-
•nant of the limb amputated.

Mr. Poole, the lAndlora of the City of Dublin Tavern, Gos-
port, appeared yesterday at the Thames Police Office, to answer
a charge made against him by Thomas Jones, who illipeared in
the garb of a sailor. Jones stated, thit on Thursday night last;
when sitting at a public-house abo it four miles from Fareham,
'two men called him out, and de.nanded 110 in the name of Mr.
Poole, to whom he was indebted in that sum—that he imme-
Idiately paid it; but on going to Gosport next day, Mr. Poole
said he had not received the money, on whi..sh Jones paid him
£lO more. On Monday Junes met Mr. Poole in London, when
the latter said, " Oh, you are the matt 1 was looking f I owe
you 410." In consequence of his acknowledging this, and not
refunding the money, he was taken into custody. Mr. Poole,
in his defence, said, he knew nothing of the transaction. The
Magistrate then ordered him to pay ten pounds into the bands of
the Clerk, and to give bail for his appearance when the other
parties might be taken, which i.e did immediately.

JEw STOCK BROKEUS.—By the death of ASHER
GOLDSMIDT, Esq. there is a vacancy in the list of
Jew Stock Brokers, and there is a strong spirit of
competition amongst the respectable persons of the
Jewish persuasion for the situation. 13y a very an-
cient Act of Parliament, passed when the Jews were
fso abominably persecuted, it is not permitted that a
greater number of persons of that religion than twelve
shall be sworn in as Stock-brokers. The exclusion
has given great respectability to the situation, .as the
most minute examination of character is required, and
the weight of the body is immense its the money.
market. The Chief Magistrate of the City of London
has the nomination in lkis gift, and it is considered of
the greater importance, as a regulation has been re-
cently made for the transacting of foreign stock bu-
siness °tithe Stuck Exchange—an arrangement which
throws a great incretre of profits into the hands of
the twelve persons who ate thus privileged. The
privilege is estimated at the rate of £2ooo.—lt hap-
pens. very opportunely for the present LoRD MAYOR,
who goes out of Office next Friday. The circum-
stance will remind some of our neadets of a pleasant
anecdote related of Wtuces. During his Mayoralty,
one of these Brokers was seriously ill, aid-Waxes
was reported to be reckoning on the a„lvantage of the
disposal of the probable vacancy. Us; son of the-
Broker meeting his Lordship, reproached him with
wishing his father dead. " My dear fellow," said .
