Earl and Countess Grey and family pre4sed through Newcastle on

Thursday, on their return to London. They only proceeded as far as Lambton Castle that evening. On his Lordship approaching Darling- ton, on Friday morning, he was met at the entrance to the town by the trades with their banners, and an immense concourse of people, who had for a considerable time been anxiously awaiting his arrival. The horses were taken from the carriage, and his Lordship was drawn in triumph to the King's Head Inn ; where an address, which bad been agreed to at a

public meeting convened the previous evening, was presented to him by Thomas Bowes, Esq., bailiff. His Lordship was evidently much al- fected by the marked attention shown to him ; and after addressing the congregated multitude, he was drawn through the town, amidst the most deafening cheers.—Tyne Mixcury.

The Reverend Samuel Goodenough has been appointed a Deputy Lieutenant of the county of Cumberland.

A Me. Lucy, of Marlborough, states that he has received a notice to quit from Lord Aylesbury's agent, because in the course of his trade Mr. Lucy had printed off some political handbills, directed against Lord Aylesbury's influence.

Lord Wharneliffe and Mr. Tunno, the joint proprietors of the ex- borough of BosSiney, have caused notice to quit to be served on all their tenants of that place, to the no small annoyance of those who had houses and lands at a nominal rent, on the easy condition of returning whoever was nominated by the ,iomt patrons, who having 110 further use for them in that line, are desirous of ridding themselves of such incum. brumes.— West Briton.

At a meeting of the corporate body of Lostavithiel, at which Lord Valletort was present, P. T. Pomeroy, Esq., was nominated illayor for the ensuing year. The corporate body of this ex-borough has hi- therto consisted of a Mayor, Recorder, six capital burgesses, and seven- teen 17:nninon Councilmen, annually chosen or nominated. By these the members for the borough were elected ; but as there are to be no more elections for Lostwithiel, we understand the seventeen were in-

. fermed that us there was no further need of their services, no future nomination as to them will take place the order has therefore become extinct.

The Carmarthen paper contains an account of a disturbance that took place on Monday last week in Carmarthen, in consequence of a large party of the inhabitants being opposed to the appointments of the new Mayor and officers. A combat took place between a party of con- stables and the populace, the latter of whom were enraged at a boy being wantonly struck on the head. One constable, named Davis, who keeps a public-house fired a pistol from his window, upon which the mob attempted to pull down the house (the Star and Garter). Several shots were then fired, principally from his house, and seven persons

• were wounded. The Carmarthen paper, the Weidman, states that the special constables, composed of colliers brought from the adjacent neighbourhood, adopted every means to exasperate the people. The Mayor and Magistates dismissed the complaints against Davis and other parties for firing, and committed two tradesmen for being con- cerned in an attack on Davis's house : these parties, however, have been since liberated, first exacting excessive bail.

On Friday, a grand review took place in Eastwell Park, the seat of Earl Winchilsea. The day was wet and boisterous ; but there were a great number of carriages on the ground; and several of the nobility and gentry were present--the Duke of Wellington, Earl Darnley, Lords Holmesdale and Marsham Sirs E. -Knatehbull, W. R. Geary, and E. Deering, Admiral Sir John Beresford, Colonels Austen, So- merset, and Middleton, Major Deedes, Captain Bradley, Mr. Norton Knatchbidl, and several others. The Lord Lieutenant acted as review- ing officer; and after the termination of the exercises, he addressed the Yeomanry, and expressed great approbation of their discipline. The

- whole terminated with a splendid cold collation, in a: marquee erected for the occasion. The ladies and non-military gentlemen were enter- tained at Lord Winchilsea's house.

On Tuesday evening last,' Mr. Bellenden Ker delivered a lecture to the Members- of the Mechanics' Institute' at the Concert-room, Nor- wich, on the rise and progress of the British Constitution.—East Anglian. I3usiness has considerably improved. -in ldristel-vrithin-the- leer- few weeks.—Glebe.

Hop-picking has terminated in Kent ; arid, according to the se_ counts from Cranbrook and Canterbury, the result will be very saris_ factory to the growers. The quantity is not large ; but the tana des are good, and the price is remunerating. At Cranbrook, on the 72k12, choice parcels brought 71. 108. ; and at Canterbury last week, 10/. 10s. was got, and higher prices were talked of.

On Tuesday evening last, the workmen on the estate of the Earl of Sheffield, at Fletching, celebrated harvest home in the ancient style; on which occasion the men, about forty in number, were plentifully re- galed with good old English fare, and spent the evening most harm°. niously.—Slissex Advertiser.

On Thursday morning, a hostile meeting took place on the town:. moor, Newcastle, between John Steavenson, Esq., banker, and William A. Surtees, Esq., the late Sheriff of this town. After an exchange of shots, the affair terminated by:the second withdrawing Mr. Steavenson from the ground.Netocastle Journal.

Considerable alarm has been occasioned to the inhabitants of the pit.. men's houses attached to Elvet Colliery, in the suburbs of the city of Durham, by the appearance within the last few days,. of rather exten- sive chinks in the walls of ;hose buildings, and other indications of the sinking of the ground on which they are erected ; an alarm which has been not a little increased by similar appearances in the walls of the parish church. The falling-in of some part of the old workings of the colliery is supposed to be the cause of these threatenings.—Tyne Mer- cury.

On Thursday last, as Mr. G. Winterton, of Birley Hall, Essex, was enjoying his favourite diversion of coursing in the neighbourhood, Of the Stamford marshes, his horse missed his footing, and falling with him, fractured his thigh in a dreadful manner, a portion of the bone pro- truding through his small-clothes. A medical gentleman, who was of the party, immediately reduced the fracture, and the unfortunate gen- tleman was conveyed home, where he lingered in great pain until Sa- turday morning, when death terminated his sufferings.

On Tuesday the 25th ult. the son of a labouring man residing at Ponsanootb, on returning home from Pengreep, gathered a number of large mushrooms, which he gave to his mother, by whom they were dressed as a stew. The whole family partook of the stew for supper. The woman only ate a little ; and the boy, by whom the mushrooms were gathered, partook more sparingly of the stew than the rest of the family. In the course of the night they were all taken ill. In the morning they sent for an emetic, which they took. Afterwards, a me- dical man was sent for, but he did not arrive till the evening; by which time, the younger child, a fine boy of three years of age, had died. Every assistance was given to the other sufferers; but notwithstanding this, two others, a girl about five, and a boy about seven years of age, died on Thursday morning. On Friday, a girl of ten years of age ex- hired; and on Monday last, the father, who was supposed to have been better, also died. The mother has not been very ill, owing to her hay- big only tasted the fatal meal; and the boy who gathered the supposed mushrooms was so far recovered on Tuesday as to be able to go to the spot where he had found them. On examining some of a similar kind found there, they proved to be large fungi, five or six inches in diameter, sprouting from the stock of an oak tree that had been cut down.— West Briton.

At Durham, on the 1st instant, two brothers named Douglas having quarrelled, the one stabbed the other in the body with a knife, and with such determination as to cause the bowels to obtrude. Surgical aid

being at hand, the wound was sewed up forthwith, and hopes are en- tertained of recovery. The young man who is wounded is about nine- teen years of age ; his brother is a year or two younger.— Tyne Mercury.

On Tuesday last, about noon, at Mudeford House, near Christ- church, the lady of Sir George Shee was found in the fish-pond, quite dead. It is supposed she fell into the pond in a fit. Her loss will be long and deeply deplored.—Hampshire Telegraph.

On Friday morning, the attention of several persons on the Marine Parade, Brighton, was attracted by something which they perceived floating out at sea, and which greatly resembled the body of a man. On pulling it out of the water, it proved to be a human body, but without arms, and covered only with a shirt and stockings, and lashed with ropes round the neck and chest to a plank. The body was in such a state of decomposition, that the head came off as the people were drag- ging it beyond the reach of the waves.—Brighten Guardian.

On Friday night, we were visited with the most terrific gale, accotn-

panied with much rain that has been known on these coasts since the great storm of November 1824. The hurricane continued with little abatement during the whole of the following day. About ten o'clock A. M. on Friday, the brig Hector, of Scarborough, Peter Camish, mas- ter, was descried off Shoreham in great distress. The vessel, it appears, bad been off and on waiting, in consequence of the neap tides, until there should be a sufficient depth of water for her to enter the harbour. Having lost both her anchors, and her fore-top-mast being carried away in a squall, she was unable to hoist sufficient sail to carry her out to sea' and therefore the master, in order to save the lives of his crew, ran her aground on the bar of ihe river. The crew immediately hoisted Out a boat, which was washed away; some person on shore then offering a reward, a boat left the harbour and assisted the shipwrecked mariners in getting out their other boat, in which they all safely reached the land. The same boat then went to the vessel several times after for the sailors' clothes, &c.; when, after four of the men (there being five) had gained their own boat, the fifth, in attempting to leap from the Hector to his companions, was prevented by a heavy swell carrying her to a considerable distance, so that the unfortunate man (who belonged to a smack) leaped short of the boat, and was instantly swallowed up by the billows.—Brighton Guardian.

About half-way between Woodside and .B idstone, Cheshire; there is a pleasant dingle, near which W. Laird, Esq., has erected some build- ings. A number of large trees grow around this dingle, and several smaller ones have been lately, planted. In the course of Feiday after- noon, the clouds were observed, to be remarkably low; they seemed, in fact, about to touch -the. tops:hf the trees, and. the rain descended in. torrents. Suddenly -the-wind, -which- blew from the south-west, in creased in violence. Branches, as thick as a man's thigh, were rent from the large trees, .and carried to the distance of one hundred yards. Several of the smaller ones were uprooted.and blown down. A wall, of the thickness of two bricks, was .blown down, and a poor man who

• had taken shelter close to it killed by its fall. Two other men, who had also sought a similar shelter, were carried to a considerable distance by the violence of the tornado, but they escaped uninjured. Some of the bricks were carried one hundred yards from the site of the wall.— Liverpool Albion.

The storm at Liverpool on Monday, which drove a number of vessels on shore, has destroyed much property and many valuable lives. „Among the ships which put to sea on that day, was the William Nelson, for New Orleans. .Lying near the entrance to the harbour, she was, by the aid of a steam-boat, towed out to sea more than two hours before the time of high water. She had even got clear of the banks before the gale commenced, and it was hoped would have been able to keep out of danger. Unfortunately, late in the afternoon she struck on the banks, and went to pieces. Next morning, her letter-bag, which the unfor- tunate Captain ( Platt) had stuffed with chaff to render it buoyant, knowing its value to his owners, and innumerable fragments of the wreck, were washed on shore in Bootle Bay, when the melancholy fate of the ship and her crew was ascertained. All hands perished. There were three passengers, Mr. Somerville, a theatrical gentleman it is said, and his two daughters. The Grecian, for Boston, which had got on Burbo Bank, was got off at night; but she sustained so much damage whilst on shore, that she filled with water before she could be brought into a place of safety, and sunk in Eootle Bay. The steward and a woman and her child were drowned, so sudden was the final catastrophe. The packet-ship Algonquin is on the strand near Mockbeggar ; her masts are gone, and she will, it is feared, be- come a complete wreck. The Vigilant, for Havannah, is on shore near the same place. It is doubtful whether she will be got off. The sloop Queen Adelaide, of Cardigan, from Cardiff, is wrecked on Mock- beggar. On the Lancashire shore, several vessels are also wrecked ; one, a brig, is on shore on Formby Wharf, and another several miles to the southward. Several new houses, at the outskirts, have been blown down. A poor man was drowned in the Mersey on Monday, owing to the storm.—Correspondent of the Times.
