At the meeting held at Plymouth, on Tuesday last, to
promote a Subscription in aid of the Spanish cause, it was
agreed, on the motion of Captain Luke, to receive an►
iv 'dike instruments, such as guns, pistols, and otber
"marking irons."

It is with the most cordial satisfaction that we annotinee
that a Public Meeting has at length been resolved upon. for
the purpose offwanoting the independence of Spain. The
meeting will talipl''lace on Wednesday next, at o'clock at
noon, in the new rprtions and splendid Pantheon Room, in
Church Street, which has been most spiritedly offered,
gratuitously for the purpose. Had not this measure been
resolved upon, it was our intention to solicit individual
subscriptions in this pious cense. We have already re-
ceived 331. Is. in behalf of the, Fund, from several indi-
viduals, whose na:nes we shall for the present withhold,
as we shall hand over the amount to the Treasurer who
may he appointed at the ensuing General Meeting.—
(hitierpool Mercury)
Carlile has inserted an invitation in the IDorietsliire
papers to the Clergenen of the county, stating' that be will
he " most happy and th4nkfnl to receive instructions from
any of them who will condescend to visit and impart know-
ledge to him whilst he remains in prison!"

We understand. from good authority, that at the anneal eon,
ferenee of Wesleyan Ministers, which commenced at Sheffield,
on the 30th ult.. the Rev. Jabez Bunting proposed a motion,
" That all the congregations ill the kingdom should be obliged
to use the church liturgy in their chapels." This motion was
rejected by a majority of 70.—(Maarkestcr Gmardiax.)

An American paper mentions, as a " Revolutionary lb-
tniniscence," that in July, 1776, the Declaration of Inde-
pendence was first read in IVoreester, by Isaiah Thomas,
Esq. now, we believe, ihe oldest printer living in the Unit•
cd States. It was read from the roof of the porch of the
►leeting-Louse, and received with loud cheers and congra•
tutations.

The erten harvest has commenced in this neighhouhood,
a fief,' of wheat was rot on Tuesday, in the parish of St.
Thomas. We hear, with pleasnre, from different part■ of the
county, that the crops have suffered hut little injuts/ from the
late rains, and that th. re is every prospect of an abundant
harvest, should the weather prove favourable for getting it
in,—(g.refer Papa.)

I:OOSRBERRIE6 —Several examples hate hren given in
the newspapers of ibis City, of the grest size of this fruit,
but none, we undersfand, have exceeded the following :
Six were gathereslfrom the trees of a gentleman well known
to possess an excellent garden, at Bedminster, which
weighed 54 onnces ; one weighed rather more than 1 ounce.
--(Bristol iferestry.)

The upper part of the prem!ses of Mr. Gilling, Upper
Charles Street, Goss-ell Street !toad, was on Saturday
night, about ten o'clock, discovered to he In flames. In
one of-the rooms to which the flames had extended before
the alarm was given, there lay an infant child asleep, and
who, we regret to state, before she weld bereleased, was an
dreadfully scoratil that she has since ditd. The wan sho
ventured into the room to rescue the child from its perilous
situation ass also much scorched. The fire wls got under
ahont eleven o'clock, without its extending itself beyond
the house where it commenced. The loss of property is not
considerable.

Our readers will recollect, tbit• In our paper of the 9th
June last, we inserted an accoarti (copied from a Bath paper)
of a most horrible outrage committed by a moo servant in
the employ of Mr. Middleton, at Weston, near Bath, which,
if true, would have been as therein stated, '• an instance of
savage and indecent barbarity rcarcsly paralleled in the
annals of crime." The man servant had been charged by
Mr. Middleton's daughter, Mary, with having carried her
from the garden to the coach-house, and pulled her up a
ladder into the loft, that lie there effected hi. diahnlical
purpose; that being alarmed he jumped from the loft into
the coach-hods, a depth of nine feet, and dragged her with
him ; that ht then threw her headlong into a privy, jumped
down and dragged her to a wood pile, where be
left her in a senseless state, and where she was discovered
by her father. This statement being sworn to by Mary
Middleton before t• o Magistrates, the man servant was
folly committed to Shepton Mallet gaol for trial; but it
fortunately happened for the prisoner,that some persons did
not place implicit confidence in this unparalleled account,
and, on enquiry, had strong reasons for ssispecting the ma-
terial part of it to be a wicked labiicatioo ; a subscription
was immediately set on foot for defending the prisoner; and
a sufficient sum collected to pay Counsel's fees and the ex-
per-es of witnesses at Bridgewater Assizes. This appears
to have hail the deiired effect ; and, in consequence of cer•
tain discoveries subsequently made, the prosecutor did not
prefer any bill of indictment upon the charges far which
the prisoner was committed; he, howev-es preferred three
several bills for assaults, all of which were ignorinl by the
tlrand Jury. Thus has the prisoner (who was pennyless)
by the kind assistance of friends, escaped an ignominious
death which would inevitably have awaited him, had the
shocking account above alluded to, been persisted in and
proved at the trial. (Brined Aleretery.)
A TLISSURT.-A person of this town, having quarrelled
with his brother, had recourse to the folluning mode of re
sentsnent. He retired to Iris bed•rotmn on Thursday even
ing, where lie continued the whole of the next day. His
famili, on Saturday, became alarmed, and being prevented
by a strong lock from entering his room at the dime, they
gained admission at the window, when they found him ly-
ing iu bed. They tried to prevail oa him to take food of
some kind, bat he was inflexible; it was in vain that on
Sunday they spread a table in his room with a pudding
and a piece of roast beef. On Monday, however, hunger
overcame his obstinacy laud because down stairs, and again
satisfied his appetite; having shown his resentment by fast•
ing three days and four nights.

On Saturday evening, nest Hyde Park Corner, S. Sut-
ton, Esq. of Colney Hatch, having got out of his gig, to
speak to Henry Williams, Esq. of (fray's Inn. who was
driving the contrary way, Mr. S.'s horse, a very beautiful
high spirited animal, being startled by a Coed' passing,
ran with great speed towards Hyde Park Corner.
—On its arrival at the Turnpike one of the wheels
came in contact with the post with tremendous vio-
lence, which not only had the effect df impeding the pro-
gress of the affrighted animal, but the jerk caused it to rear,
and it fell with such violence on its head that it
was killed upon the spot : the chaise nes completely de-
stroyed.

THEATRICALS.
liarmanefs• TireaTne.—Vesterday evening., we again
saw Sweethearts and irises, at this sociable little house;
and with undiminished- pleasure. Miss CHESTER is a star of
the first Magnitude in her sphere. We must excuse a little
want of command of countenance in the presence of Mr. Lis-
' ton, though we very much wish it could be avoided ;
but this gentleman is very arbitrary in this point; for
while he bolds the most despotic control over his own
features, he will suffer no one else to exercise authority
over a single muscie. Mrs. Smith was the second pine, i.e
which Mrs. CHATTEELV, Miss BOYCE, Mr. LISTON tad Mr.
VINING shone with their usual lustre. We have nothing to
complain of in those two pieces, but that their repetition robs
our ci ical laborsof all novelty. 'The Review, not barium
been performed here these two years, was last night
brought forward to display-Mr. HAELIteII volubility, vola-
tility. and versatiiits In. Web Quota*. We may safely say
that no one can eclipse him in this character, asil that very
few can shine against the lustre of his performance. Mr.
Lice played the part. of Looney Alaetscoltervery respectably.
Mrs. Hunts is much too matronly for Grare Gayloce.
Miss 'WYE played the part of Niche Wlsitethorn fur the
first time. She sung sod looked the part very well, except
t the rather unsightly stoop which she has acquired, and
lehieh is very observable in her male attire. ft must be
observed, that this part does not come within the range of
oar objections to ladies in man's apparel, as here it must
be played by a lady, and if any one is to be blam.d, it must
be the author. Mr. TarLguais did not show oft' luite ao
well as be might have done, with his abilities, in Joke
Lump, for want of a little more attention.

SURREY TIIIISATRI.* This theatre opened last night for 1
the winter season under circumstances of some promise.—
Among the additions to the corps d'woatique we noticed
Miss Kiushell, a beautiful girl (a pnpil of Mr. liengough's),
Mrs. W. Barcvmore, Mr 4. Fitzwilliam, Mr. H. Keinble.
Mr. Gallot, Mr. Loveday, Mr. IPitzwayle.t. &c. In two of
the pieces chosen for representation 14st night, very little'
scope was siren to the talents of the company.—
The first was the story of the two eons of
(Fclipus, crammed into a nielodrame of three dull
acts. The plot is too grave and too Grecisn by half for
anch a theatre. as this. It wa4, however, got up in a splen-
did style, with scenery. &ease., ard deeoration's not un-
worthy of our winter theatres, at this side the Thames.
Mrs. W. Itarrymore in the second piece, Winning a Hus-
band, performed seven or eight different characters with
much versatility of manners, and was loudly applauded
The house was crowded, and the heat excessive—an incon-
venience which it will he the interest of the new proprietors
to remedy by proper attention to ventilation. The arrange.
insists of Koran; r;the hax-keeper, were judicious, and con.
tributed materially to the general comfort and accousulo-
dation of the audience.

Mr. William M.Cready finished his enstagement et the
Theatre Royal here, on Tuesday evening last, when he per-
formed Dawns, in the serious play of [Mason and Pythias.
Mr. Abide supported him v«ry ably in Pythias; and Mrs.
*Gibbon in Calanthe. Mr. M'Creasly afterwards per-
formed De(dual, in the firc,, of Matrimony, with ~„•uch
humour. It was his benefit, and the house was well ailed.
—(Newcastle Courant )

Earl Fitzwilliam arrived at ids seat, Slalton, Comity of
Wicklow, on Saturday last; and we have the greatest satis.
faction in stating that he received in the most gradual
manner the applications of such of his tenantry as waited
on him. We are gratified to learn that the Noble Earl
appeared in excellent [smith and spirits.—(Duldia Evexiag
Purr.)

Lord Montague and Lord Douglas arrived last week at
Dalkeith Palace, where the young Duke of tdoecleugh is
also daily expected. Preparations, we are informed, are al-
ready began at the house for the reception •of his Royal
Highness the Doke of York and his Grace the Duke of
Wellington.—(Edinforrgli Star )
THE Duke of ICENT.—HisAllatjesty having been gracionsly
pleased, through the Commissioners of Woods, Forests. and
Land Revenue, to give his Royal permission for the erection
of the Monumental Statue of his late Royal Highness the
Duke of Kent in Perk Crescent, at the top of Portland
place; it is understood, that the Trustees and Committee
of Management have every hope of completing their labours
by the ensuing Anniversary of the late Prince's birth-day,
the 21 of November next. The statue in bronze, is already
entirely finished, and does high honour to the artist; and
the pedestal of Haytor granite, the same as to the Achilles
in Hyde Perk, is rapidly proceeding with.
DOTER, AUG. 9.—His Excellency Prince Paul Esterhazy,
and aui•e, arrived this mornlag at Pry's.' York Hotel, under
a salute front the Fort at the Heights; Major Taylor and
the other Officers of the Garrison were in attendance. Tte
Prince, after partaking of an elegant breakfast, proceeded
to leave the York Hotel, to embark on board the Monarch
steam vessel, Captain Hayward, then lying in the harbour,
when he got iu•e!lieence that a German Count, the sliore
person who assaulted Ole Polon. in London, and who had
been eagerly watching his arrival the last two daps,was
then walking to and fro on the Quay, near the place heed
for his embarkation. A boat was immediately procnred on
the beach, opposite the York Hotel, into which the Prince,
his Secretary, and confidential servant embarked, under
another salute from the fort; the vessel at the same time
quitting the quay, joined the Prince in the h iv, to the no
small astonishment of the Count, who exhibited every sign
of a maniac on his views heinz thus frustrated. Every pre
caution W 33 taken to guard against any attack that might
be attempted. The Connt immediately embarked on board
the Arrow steam vessel, then hound fur Calais, exclaiming
he would follow him to Hell, if he himself should bt burnt.
On Wednesday last was married by special license, in the
parish church of Cossey, by the Right Rev. the Bishop of
Norwich, Tho•nas Alexander Fraser, Esq. of Luvat and
Stricl.en. to Charlotte Georgina, eldest daughter of Sir
George Jerningham, R trt, of Cossey-tall. The marriage
ceremony having been previously performed in the chapel
of the Hill, according to the rite and ceremonies the
Roman Catholic Church, by the Rev. Frederick liosen-
beth, domestic Chaplain to Sir George Jerningham. The
bride and bridegroom left Cossey at one o'clock, for Beau-
fort Castle, the seat of Mr. Fraser, in the Highlands.

AMISS AND DITIN-CION OF M. GARCIA ♦r CALAIS.—
On M. tiarcis returning lately to Paris, on the termina-
tion of his engagetneni fora limited period at the Italian
Theatre, lie was arrested atCalais,and placed under surveil-
lance. He is not allowed either to quit France, or to pro
ere(' to Paris, but is forced to remain where he is, and to
wait on the. Mayor twice every day. The only reason con-
jectured for this tr•atmeat is, that Al. Garcia brine a
Spaniard, conceived it his duty lo call on the Ambassador
of his Country while in London,

Yesterday (Wednesday) the Common Concil were pleased
to present the Freedom of the Borough to the Right Hon.
IV. Huskisson, M.P.—(litierpoolddeertiser)

PEDESTRIANISM.—On Wednesday last, at 10 minetee past
4 o'clock in the afternoon, Wilson, the celebrated Neacast.e
and Blackheath pedestrian, commenced the arduous task of
walking MO miles in 48 successive hours. The spot chosee
for his performance was the Sands, near Eden Bridge, in the
vicinity of this city ; and owing to the extreme wetness of the
ground • large quantity of saw dust svas provided. On Thurs-
day the rain fell in torrents during the whole of the day, at-
tended with • strong wisp:, huts light oil-skin dress kept hi n
nearly dry, Ile siept a little during the nlght, and euceeeded
in finishing his task at 2 l inutes past 4 o'clock on Friday, be-
ing 8 minutes within the time. Time was bet against him at

assembled on the ground, and et the conclusion of his task be
was cheered by the multitude. and placed in, a single hone
chaise, Mongside his daughter, ant conveyed into the town.—
A gond deal of money lies been lost by those who backed time.

PUOILISI4.—On Saturday last, the attention of the stool
folk at our market was suddenly a•reetel by an unexpe-te I
rencontre hetween Weightman, the Celebrated wrestler, and a
brother of the gymnastic science named Hodgson, little lest
distinguished in the ring time his sturdy antagonist. The leer-
ed', it is said, originated at the late Wigton races, bat it was
fated that Car.isle shou,d witness the prow ess of these doeg'ity
champions, who meeting ac.identally in a lace near the market
place, commenced the contest sans cersnioaie, and apparen ly
in pest elasperatlon. The combat was continued amidst
dense crowd, ettendeil with much noise and confusion, en
with various success, until the pugilists reached Scotch-street,
where Weightmen was suddenly pounced upon by the peace
officers, and conveyed to the police office. Here the angry
combatant, in endeavouring to exculpate himself, thought fir
to Interlord his defence with a few expletives in the form of
imprecations, for which he was fined 14s. being at the rate of
Is. each. To this star euperadded is. for a breach of tee
peace, and 2s. the cost of a summons, amounting In the Wok
to U., which he paid, and was then liberated. Ilati.rso,t tv ls
fortunate enough to retire from the contest unmolested by th.
officers.--(Thid,)

Last week, Mr. Joseph 'nouns, of the parish of Mean.
nor, Cornwall, ha I Tao daughters and a grand daughter
baptised, and a daughter married, by the same clergymen,
and on the smile day.
On IVedoesday last about thirty feet of the walls of Der-
ry, which were so successfully defended against Ring
James, yielded to the wasting hand of time, and full do.rn
with a tremendous crash. No lives were lost.
