almost all the herring boats from the Ord to Wick
pat to sea. About midnight the wind veering to the
south, blew a tremendous gale; during the remaining
part of the night, the most intense anxiety prevailed
among the relatives and friends of the peer fishermen,
nor dui the appearance of the morning tend to diminish
the general distress—hardly any of the boats had been
able to find shelter during the night, and but few of
them even so late as seven o'clock this morning, had
succeeded is gaining the harbour of Wick. or any of

tin of ire, however, is the mouth of the Straits, there
isa great probability, nay, almost the certainty, of the

westward. It is probable that by this time the barrier
is broken up, and the ice floated into the Atlantic. The
appearance of such a quantity augurs not only a severe
winter last season in these parte, but an open spring and
owner, which had broken up the ice to the west-1
ward and in the bottom of the bay.—(Glaegme Herald.)

widened, sufficient fur a carriage to pass through, and
at a future

the Canal in the Park. The inconvenience owing to
their having only keen one staircase to the entrance of

DESTRUCTION OF Tiiii--LiTHEDRAL AT

BOURN.

The public will learn witregret, that the magnificent
Cathedral at Rouen, in France, has been destroyed by
lightning. On Sunday morning last, between five and
six o'clock, one of the most tremendous storms ever wit-
nessed by man visited the city of Roues: the electric
fluid struck the cathedral, and completely destroyed it,
the outer walls alone remaining. Six houses adjoining
were also totally reduced to a heap of ruins. Many of
the inhabitants were killed, and some dreadfully scalded
by the molten lead which fell from the roof. Thus has
&structure, which, as a specimen of Gothic architecture,
has obtained undivided praise for ages, become a rain—
another evidence of the mutability of all things under
the sun.—(Brighton Gazette.)
I PURTIMIR PARTICULARS FROM THC SOUTHAMPTON COUNT/

THE STATESMAN:

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

OLD BAILEY—Trots Morurtmo.

MAIIICEFS.—(Teis .11oRxxxo)

-
The interlude of ristrigate, last night, introduced two
new performers at this Theatre; Mr. and Mrs. H.
Hamm They will be found useful, in the under cite.
rooters of comedy, and, we suppose, they do not aspire
to highei things. The comedy of The Way to Keep Hine,
was afterwards performed in a style worthy of the best
fame and times if this favoured seat of the comic muse.
The cast embraced the main strength of the present very
powerful company. Limn, as Sir Bashful Constant,
gave an admirable portraiture of the character.
C liamoca's Lovenfore is also one of his very
richest triumph.. jortas's Sir Brilliant has rather
too much of the trilling fop, and consequently
too little of the scheming libertine. The chief
novelty consisted in Mrs: Cideroan's representation of
the Widots Ramseur ; and in the present state of that
department of Comedy, it is mot too much to pronounce
her performance. as being one or the best of the day. Mrs.
CHATTERLT srpported the character of Mrs. toeensore,
with a just conception of the author; and gave it all
the effect of which it is susceptible, which, after
all is very little. Miss BOTCII also deseries her share
of praise for the propriety with which she went through
the part of Lady Constant. The Managers will find
their account in giving an early repetition of the Comedy.
A Gentleman, of whom report speaks in high term.,
is, we learn, to make his debut in the part of Macheath
on Thursday next. This, with the attractiou of Miss
PATON'S first appearance in Polly, has created no small
sensation among Musical Amateurs. Morning, Noon,
sad Night being quite established, will be alternately
acted with the stock Operas.

Thomas Jeff. was charged with stealing several bot-
tles of wine, a piece of cheese, and other articles of pro-
vision, the property of William Allen.
Elizabeth Odell, servant to the prosecutor, stated, that
she went to bed about eleven o'clock on the night of the
Ilth of August, leaving every thing safe. She missed
the articles in question the following morning from the
safe, where they had been deposited. The wine bottles
were marked at the bottom with • diamond, and were
found in the prisoner's house partly emptied of their
contents.

John Mance, an offi:er, searched the prisoner's house,
and found part of a leg of lamb, a piece of cheese, and
one bottle of win•, which was marked in a similar man-
ner to those in the cellar of the prosecutor. Witness
then took him into custody; as they were going towards
the office in Worship-street, prisoner said be supposed
he should go this time, but be did not mind a d—n, so
that he escaped the dancer,. Thomas Bann, another of-
ficer, who assisted in taking the prisoner, corroborated
the statement of the last witness, and bring called on to
explain the meanie, of the term drawers, said it was
meant going to be hanged.—The Jury fontei him guilty.

The prisoner was then taken from the bar, and shook
bands with a femile in court, to whom he bade good by,
with the most callous indifference.

Peter Dorms was charged upon an indictment with
inflicting divers wounds, kicks, and bruises on •arious
parts of the body of Thomas Whalley on the s.oth of
August, of which be languished till the Bth Ecpteusber,
and then died.

It appeared from the evidence that the deceased,
is company with others, was drinking at a Pub-
lic-house called the Crickettere. The Prisoner came
in, when the deceased immediately accused him of
robbing him, the deceased, of a sovereign. The prisoner
denied it, sad threatened to knock bins dove if be dartd
to repeat the accusation; deceased did repeat it, and chal-
leaged him to fights a scuffle ensued and deceased was
throats a severe fall which be did not recover. He was
I taken boils by On prlsoner and another person, and
they partook of a bottle of wine together. 7he deceased
and the prisoner then parted, upon seeming good terms.
In a few days after, the d • ed got worse, and died
on the Stb of September. A surgeon, who had opened
the body, stated, that on examistion, he found the liver
very considerably enlarged, and extended from the hip
to the chest. A quantity of blood and cerum was deposited
in the chest. In the opinion of witness, his death
might have been accelerated by his own exertion. There
was no doubt whatever in his mind that the disease had
been pre-existieg, and a blow would hasten his death.
The wine be had taken would certainly accelerate Isis
death independent of either blow or fall.
Mr.Jastice BesT recapitulated the facts of the case
and left it with the Jury to say whether the unfortunate
mates death was occasioned or hastened by the blows be
had received, or whether, the disease preexisting,
his own exertion in the scuffle was not the cause of his
death.

The Jnry, without a moment's hesitation, returned a
verdict of Not Guilty.
Mr. Justice Burr.—A very right verdict, Gentlemen
Where there is any doubt it me best to be en the safe side

CORM r.xcuawas, Sser. 20.—We had a tolerably
large arrival of Wheat and ll:arley this morning, from
the Suffolk coast; but prime samples of this year's
growth of the former article, sold at Monday's prices.
There was but little doing in old Wheat,altkough offered
at reduced prices.—New Barley, is 2s. per quarter lower ;
owing to the increased supply, and the sales were very
heavy
.at that abatemeat.—ln Beans, Pease, and Oats
there is no alteration.

Sirivartan-Maitawr.—The Market was well supplied
this morning, particularly with Oxen, left over from last
Monday's Market, which met with a heavy sale.—lo
Sheep and Lambs. the prices are much as last Llarket-
day. The trade is very heavy, and the demand is
chiefly in small meat.

Those I. England who uTainttia that superabundant
crops are the cause of agricultural d' will have
ample reason to complain of the present
Never, it is said, were mops more luxuriant than tbote
laid in during this mita= all over France and the
Netherlands.

H Warr IN SCOTLAND.—The weather since Wed.
nesday has bees delightful, and the farmers in conse-
quence have been busy in carrying in and safely hous-
ing the grain in the fields, the greater proportion
of which, in this district, are now cleared.
01.aseow.—The broken weather that we have had
for the• lam fortnight, has been accompanied with a
'teat deal of lightning. Monday night the flashes
were frequent and vivid. The Oat harvest has bems
se much retarded, that the farmers on Monday in
many places made their sh work the whole day
in spite of the rain. They are beginning to be afraid
that the grain will sprout (ton. so much moisture.—
The wheat is almost all inned.

Sr. itauatw's.—The h t is now nearly fioished
In the east of Fife. The crops, according to the agri
cultaiists. who are still complaining loudly, will
scarcely bear the designation of " average." Wheat
is, upon the whole, trend ; but both the Barley aad
Oats sea somewhat defecti►e. The wholeare eeiformly
short ie the Maws which is likely to create a activity
of fodder.

NEW MATCH.—DICR CURTIS AND WARREN: Not

of the later have cone forward and witched bim against
his old opponent for fifty sovereigns aside. to meet on
the 13th of November; sf. a-side is deposited, and it is
'Aid the backers of Curtis are shy on the occasion.—
Even betting.

We understand that I of the farmers of Nor.
thumberland will find the tithes more than usually op.
pressive this season. In the Dope of the markets ad-
vancing, many of are aai.l to have taken th•
tithes of grain at an average rate, allowing 15s. per
boll for that of wheat, which being considerably above
market price. must add greatly to the distress of His
growers. We trust, however, the Clergy will show a
compassiooate feeling for their lay brethren, and that.
though they may claim according to agreement, they
will not, under present cirentestauces. enforce the full
penalty of the bond.—(Tyne Mercury.)
Foothill, we are informed, does not attract the num.
bets commonly reported. About the time the Rata
papers stated that the visitors had exceeded 14,000,
gentleman she went thither and on whim we can
rely. assures us tbat,on particular enquiry on the spo
he found they did not amount to ons•third of the
number. Among the company present the day he
was there, were Lard and Lady Ifullsed. His Lord-
ship afterwards visited Salisbury ; and was every
where received with that attsntiuu and respect due to
his rank and virtues. The luterior of the Abbey, at
Foothill. it appears, was never couple:ed.
