MA RLBMICHIGH -arritErr.--Bastaarr.—A quest ion
came before the Sitting Magistrates yesterday, of the
first• importance to such per sons as are concerned in
Batumi. It was, whether a person paying three shil-
ling per week for a sleeping room, and nine :billings
for a stand, is a Bazaar. in the same parish, making
a rental of twelve shillings per week, became a pa-
rishioner ? A person renting a stall in a market, and
having a lodging in the same parish, is, by the joint
rent, considered a parishioner. This is a new case,
and will be decided at the Sessions.

HATTON Gattnex.--Yesterday Thomas Full, land-
lord of the Fox under the Hill, Fox-court, in the
Strand, appeared to a summons to answer to an in-
formation laid against him by the Society for the
Suppression of Vice, for suffering persons to be tip-
pling in his house, during Divine Service on the
LOMA Day. It appeared on evidence, that between
eleven and twelve o'clock, on Sunday the 23d of
June, there were between forty and fifty persons
smoking and drinking in his house. The defendant
stated, that his house was situate close to the water
side, and that the persons found there, were market
people from the country. He was convicted in the
mitigated penalty of 10s. and costs.
Roam Green, of the Queen's Head and Artichoke,
Regent's risk, and Mikan Anne:, of the Jew's Harp,
Regent's Park, were charged with having several
'persons tippling in their houses, during Divine Ser-
vice, on Sunday the 16th of June ; it being their first
offence, and having. observed strict order since that
time, they were reprimanded and discharged, on pay-
ing the costs, the Society not pressing for the penalty.
Henry Skinner, of the Blackmoor's Head, Exett.•
street, Strand, was charged with a similar offence ;
about twelve o'clock, on Sunday the 23d of June: the
defendant stated, that there were several workmen
employed on the new English Opera House, that
worked all day on Sundays, in order to complete that
building, and that twelve o'clock being their dinner
hour, they only came to his house to have their din-
ners. The Magistrate observed, that their doing an
itlegal act, for which they were all liable to have in-
formations laid against them, could not be a sufficient
excuse for him in a breach of the Sabbath, but it
being his first offence, and the Society not pressing
for the penalty, on his promising not to offend again
in like manner, he was discharged on paying the costs.

On the Ist of July, the foundation stone was laid
of a
.column erecting at Ahiwick, by -the Duke of
Northumberland's tenants, to perpetuate the many
acts of his Grace's benevolence and generosity. when
a great concourse of people collected to see the cere-
mony on that occasion.
Friday morning, about three or four o'clock, a
house in the Main•street, Anderston, Glasgow, was
broken into,. -by means of a ladder, at the kitchen-
window.

Friday se'naight, a fine young man of the name of
Davidson, while bathing in a m:il•pond at Munlochy,
near Inverness, was unfortunately drowned.
_ _

Tuesday se'nnight, a man employed with several
others in blowing a rock-a; a quarry near Stonehaven,
was, on the explosion, struck by a fragment of the
stone, and killed on the spot.
Friday morning, a sawyer of the name of Robert-
son,' whilst walking up Marischal.strtet, Aberdeen,
with another man,dropped down and instantlyexpired.
'A labourer at the Hedderwick Limework, Forfar.
shire, of the name of John Christie, on Friday,, had
his skull so dreadfully fractured by a stone which had
been blown up falling on it, that he died in a few
hours afterwards, leaving a wife and child.
TUE SEMAPHORL—This improved machine began
working on Wednesday, between the Admiralty and
Chatham. The communications by this means very
far surpass the Telegraph recently in use, both in ce
laity and perspicuity. One among the great advan.
sages obtained is the distinctness of observing the ap-
paratus from one station to another, which is accoun-
ted for from the late one being of a square form, and
thereby holding the density of the atmosphere, apd
the present being simply an upright hollow mast.
The Telegraph, it is well known, consisted of six
shutters or flaps, and could not, by any means, pro-
duce one hundred combinations. So superior are
the powers possessed by this machine, that with only
two arms it produces not merely letters and words,
bit whole sentences, and upwards of two thousand
different symbols. The ingenuity- displayed in the
Arrangements is exceedingly great—and it may be
said that communicating by characters in this man-
ner has reached its utmost limits. The powers of
this machine are not confined to the naval service,
and its construction is upon such simple principles as
to admit of its being adapted to all the uses of an
army, and can be conveyed in five minutes, in a
waggon, from place to place, as circumstances re.
quire. His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, Sir
HENRY TORRENS, Sir H. CALVERT, and several noble
and distinguished Officers; have inspected it for this
purpose, and pronounced thek approbation of its
powers. The public are indebted to Admiral Sir
HOUR Poennu, for the improvement and adoption
of this important invention, who has displayed great
science and judgment in the arrangement. During
the late war, it is notorious the utility this species
of communication was to the Corsican ; and we trust,
that should Ragland be again called on in defence of
her just Rights, that this country will derive every
advantage wbiFh this species of communication can

VAUXHALL.--Crowds of elegant and fashions k
company attended the splendid gala, at this taschia.
ting scene of delight and wonder, on Werfites,ll
eight. The music was uncommonly attractive, 11,,
sweet warbling: of little BLAND continue to chains
every one. Moss MATHEWS also rung semil airs
with her customary sweetness and judgment. Be.
tween the acts, Madame SAQVI, her hoosband, and re,
veral others, executed a variety of graceful perfor:
mantes upon two ropes. Indeed, with regard to
the general complexion of the Gardens, it was ex.
tremely pleasing—nor could any union of art with ns.
tural beauty, surpass the impression which the eye rt.
ceived on observing the moon shed its soft and ckucl.
less lustre over the trembling foliage of the lefty
trees, at the moment Madame SAQU! was making her
grand ascent amid a blaze of fire works.
New COINAGE.—The new Silver Coinage is going
on with astonishing rapidity : nearly 150,000 pieces
are coined daily, and in a week that quantity, im.
mense as it is, will be doubled. The head resembles
that on the last issued three shilling pieces. ' The re.
verse is beautiful ; it has the Arms of Great &itrito
very richly emblazoned, in the manner of the foie
Italian silver pieces under BONAPARTE. The inscnp.
tions are handsome, but the letters are in very low
relief. The milling round the edge is not only new,
but surpassing any thing. of the kind we remember
to have seen. The edge is raised so as to protect the
effigies, arms, and exergue from being speedily worn
plain ; and the milling is applied in deep perpendi.
cular indents upon the circumference. In this respect
the money in preparation is far superior to the early
coinage of his Majesty's reign, not only in milky,
but in richness of appearance. In addition to the
gold sovereigns, and doable sovereigns, there will he
half sovereign:, and crowns and half-crowns. Tte
new coinage is expected to be issued simultanecnoly
all over the Island ; in order to accomplish which,
large deposits will be previously made in every con-
siderable town : and when all is complete, a .10731
Proclamation will be issued. Between 69 anJ
millions of pieces, chiefly shillings and sixpences, eh{
be given at once to the public, and the larger mote?
will thereafter be circulated progressively as the h.
hours of the Mint enable the issues to be made.
