I>— The following is ail extract of a letter dated the Olh inst. and received ou Wednesday at Lloyd's, from the Agent at Gibraltar:— Passed the Straits, to the Eastward, the Algerine squa- dron, & nd was joined by the Algerine brig lying near the river Palmonio.'' The following is an extract of a letter from Lloyd's Agent at Malta, dated the 26th ult:— " Signior Tomaso Frendo, a Maltese Merchant, and Salvator Diacona, Master of the Martigan St. Giovanni, under English colours, were tried at our General Sessions of Oyer and Terminer, the 8th instant, for selling part of the cargo, and sinking the vessel, with the remainder of the • cargo, on the 6th of July, off the Island of Sa- pienza. They were both found guilty, and con- demned to be hanged. Frendo was hung on the 15th of October. The Master, Diacona, was conducted to the gallows, to witness the execution of his companion, and his sentence is changed to transportation for 14 years. This example, it is to be hoped, will put a stop to the barratry which of late has become so fre- quent in these seas." Letters have been received from St. Thomas's dated the 9th of October, of which the following is an extract-—" The last letters received in this Island from La Guira, mention, that Morillo after evacuating Margarita, returned to the Main, and immediately determined to send those forces he had left to Valencia and the vallies of Ara- gua, towards which quarter they went, some passing through Caraccas, and the others through Puerto Cavelio. It is supposed they are intend- ed to hold Gens. Paez and Saraza in check, who had assumed an imposing attitude. In Caraccas it was believed that the only reason which pre- vented the Independents from entering the capi tal, was the overflow of the Llanos ( Plains), in consequence of the heavy rains. This impedi- ment would, however, cease at. the end of Nov. or the beginning of Dec. It was reported that Gen. Bolivar had moved on towards Santa Fe, where, if he' should arrive, he will certainly he well received ; as Morillo and his army have left very unfavourable impressions behind them, in that country." Letters from St. Thomas's dated October 10, received on Tuesday morning state the arrival of a great, number of French Officers there, in order to join the Patriots in South America.— A vessel had also arrived from France loaded with arms and ammunition of every kind, as well as several ships from England, full of Offi- cers to support the Independents. With respect to the Dutch colonies in the East, we believe them to be iu great danger of being entirely lost to Holland. Fresh accounts were received in town on Wednesday relative to the affairs of the Dutch Settlements, brought by a vessel arrived at Liverpool, which left Java on tlie4th of August. Through her we learn, that after the massacre of the Canoe Expedition, sent from Amboyna against Saproa, the Amboynese had got nearly complete possession of the island, and compelled the Dutch inhabitants to seek shelter under the forts.— These fortified situa- tions had been frequently attacked by the na- tives, who had been rendered bold and despe- rate; and who, extraordinary as it may appear actually waged war under British colours. When the Company's ship Antelope left Saproa in July, it was expected that the natives would have com- plete possession of the island in a few days. To this unpleasant information, so as regards the Dutch, we have to add, that the whole of the Celebes and the Molucca Islands have manifest- ed a similar spirit of disaffection; and no tri- fling apprehensions were entertained for the safety of Java itself. The disputes between the North West Com- pany and the Hudson's Bay are among the most extraordinary transactions permitted within the authority of regular Governments. Mr. Came- ron, a Member of the former has arrived by a vessel now in the River, sent prisoner by the order of Lord Selkirk ; and immediately the op- portunity was afforded, be dispatched a Mes- senger to the Secretary of State's Office, requir- ing his liberation from that confinement, which he alledged to be unauthorized and unjust. The answer from the Public Office was, that Minis- ters had nothing to do in the affair; that if he had suffered any maltreatment under the cir- cumstances to'which his application alluded, he might seek and obtain redress from those Tribu- nals to which the offence should be properly referred. This person, it appears, was taken by order of Lord Selkirk, on the banks of ihe Red River, and thence transmitted to Hudson's Bay, with the view to render him amenable to those laws of the British dominions, which, it is presumed, he had transgressed. Dreadful Massacre—- The following statement of a most shocking event is extracted from a Letter received on Wednesday from Cochin, dated May 14, 1817:— An alarming account has been brought here by three Arabs who arrived a few days ago. They state, that they had made their escape from a ship from Pulo Peuang, af- ter she was taken possession of by five dows of the Whahabee pirates, near Pigeon Island ; that the pirates murdered the whole of the crew and pilgrim passengers, and afterwards stood out to sea.— This they say happened about a fortnight ago. The captured ship was under English co- lours, from Pulo Penang, belonging to Saved Huisen, at Pulo Penang, last from the Malay coast, bound to Mecca, with pilgrims," HAYTI, Cape Henry, Oct. 6, 1817.— The business of instruction is proceeding here with great vigour. National Seminaries have been formed ut Cape Henry Port de Paix, Sans Souci, and Gonaives, which- contained 420 scholars, and the first of which has furnished monitors to all the rest.— Another school is about to be opened at St. Marc's, and a new- school- room is erecting at Sans Souci, to contain 1000 scholars. Besides these national schools, where instruction is gra- tuitous and which are wholly founded aud main- tained bv King Henry, the town of Cape Henry is filled with small elementary schools for the poorer classes who cannot as yet be all accom niodated in the national schools, where the children are taught, at a very moderate rate, to read, write, and cipher. Indeed all the inha- bitants are obliged, under a penalty, to send their children to school as soon as they attain a sufficient age— One of the scholars' in the nati- onal school at Cape Henry, a son of Baron Fer- rier, has formed a little elementary school at his father's house, where a room has been allotted to him, in which he instructs several of his young companions in the intervals between school hour's. At the national school- room at Cape Henry, Divine service is performed according to the forms of the Church of England every Sunday morning, by Mr. Gulliver, the teacher, or one of the strangers resident at the, Cape.— The congregation of boys is respectable. The strangers occasionally attend, especially the ladies of the family of an American merchant, who are, in general, very reguUr. A Chaplain of the Church of England would be a very de- sirable acquisition. NEWFOUNDLAND TRADE. Tuesday, Quebec Gazettes reached town to the 17th Oct. These papers are entirely ab- sorbed in the consideration of the nature and importance of the difficulties under which the Newfoundland trade at the present moment la- bours, Erroneous ideas are stated to have pre- vailed extensively with regard to the above trade, and to the mode of conducting it. When first established, the merchants, and their immediate servants, were the only classes of people engaged in it. In process of time, another class sprang up, consisting of servants and sailors who had chosen to remain in the island, after the period of their servitude had expired, It soon becamc apparent that the division of labour which took place in consequence, was best calculated to pro- mote the success of the fishery. The merchant attended only to those parts of the business which were considered to be strictly commercial; whilst by an old analogy, the other party called Plan- ters, were solely occupied in catching of fish. It is a mistaken idea, we are told, to suppose that the fishery was prosecuted wholly by Eng- lish merchants; for, iu fact, the great supplies could be procured through the medium of plan- ters only. In speaking of the distresses of the trade, and of their principal causes, it is alleged that during the late war in Spain, the island ex- ported in one year, 1,200,000 quintals of fish, and now the exportation does not amount to more than liaif that quantity. Tire population of the island being at the same time little dimi nished, extreme distress could not fail to be the consequence; especially as the people depended wholly on the fruits of their labour for support. The loss of employment is to them the loss of the means of subsistence. The lawless acti and dreadful outrages consequent on such a state of things are very little known beyond the limits of the island. The starving population became a lawless banditti.— They broke open the mer- chants' stores, and carried off their property wholesale, seized the vessels which arrived with provisions, and in both cases set the police alto- gether at defiance. On some occasions, where subsistence could not otherwise be bad, they proceeded with arms in their hands, demanding and enforcing a supply of provisions from the Sitting Magistrates. These and further details have been laid be- fore Ministers, as proofs of the situation of affairs in that unhappy settlement. LEIPSIC FAIR. The Algemeine Zeitung contains, in its Supplement of the 11th and 12th inst. a pretty detailed account of ti! :• Leipsic Michaelmas Fair. The following extracts. however, are the only parts of it that have any reference to British commerce, or any interest for the British merchant:— " It could not escape the noliee of the attentive ob- server for some months past, that the Leipsic Michael- mas Fair held out a happy prospect, and that it would be much more important for its sales than those that for some time have preceded it. " In the chief manufacturing places of Saxony, great orders were received, and every where revived indus- try became active, particularly in the manufacture of fine articles of cotton prints, the finest woollens and lace. Even some prospect seemed to open here and there, for the linen manufactures, paralyzed for a long time. The Brunswick summer fair, and the autumn fair of Frank- foil, were looked npon as auspicious haibingers; and the latter, in particular, furnished the most favourable prognostics. From the middle of September rows of ons covered the roads which have been established for the carriage of wares and merchandise from the east and north to Leipsic. Two weeks before the fair ( a week before the usual time, owing to a mistake about The public was A letter from Salem, in New England, dated Oct. 17, contains the following melancholy de- tails:—" Capt. Page, who was lately in the ship Indus, of this port, at Nooahevah, in the South Sea, the scene of Capt. Porter's warfare with the Typees, has related to us the following distressing account:— That at that place five of Capt. Por- ter's men stole a boat, and deserted, probably intending to harbour about among by- places, till the departure of the American expedition should enable them to return and take up their abode for a time with the natives. But whatever might be their plan, it was soon overthrown by ail act of ProVidence. They proceeded first to a small island, or cluster of bare rocks, called the Hergest rocks, their heads just peeping above water, and which produced no edible substance for man or beast; this, however, they concluded to make their resting- place for the night, and accordingly anchored, and went ashore lo sleep; but before morning a wind arose, which dashed their boat to pieces against the rocks, leaving them no means to return. Here then they were obliged to remain. One of them, after a while, attempted to swim towards Nooahevah, but was soon devoured by the sharks; three others suc- cessively perished ; but the fifth ( whose name was Thompson) subsisted chiefly upon the flesh and blood of such birds as he could kill, lighting npon the rocks, and upon the dripping water caught in the skull of one of his deceased com- rades, which he used as a vessel for that purpose, for about 18 months, when he was discovered by a passing vessel, by which he was taken off, and carried to Nooahevah, a picture of famine and despair. Here he remained till his health and strength were repaired, when about a year since he shipped on board the brig Russell, Capt. Almy, of New Bedford, for Canton, but which has not been heard of since her departure from Nooahevah, and is considered as lost, and all her crew unfortunately to have perished." The Princess Royal of England.— A Gen- tleman who was lately at Stutgard, and had the honour of an audience of the Queen ( the Prin- cess Royal of England) describes her enjoying the best health and spirits. She is of very ac- tive habits, rising at six every morning. the day of opening) Leipsic was full, justified in expecting uncommon activity of business; and the event not only fulfilled the expectations which were entertained, but in some branches transcended any hopes which could have been formed. If we take into consideration the quantity of ready money expend- ed on the spot, and the almost exhausting of the great magazines of some kinds of commodities, we must allow that this fair has been the most successful which lias lately occurred. This success was evinced in the soli- dity of the transactions and the distinguished punctua- lity ofthe payments. There was no instance of inabi- lity to fulfil the conditions of the purchases heard of, except in n few unimportant failures in transactions about colonial produce or drugs. The merchants who attended on this occasion in such numbers, and with snch means of purchase, looked out every where for patterns of the most costly nature, and of the newest and most elegant fashion, having the least weight in proportion to their value, and therefore best adapted for distant carriage. All the merchants, therefore, who had felt the pulse ofthe public, and brought to the fair articles suited to the taste of the times, and the varying fashion had reason to congratulate themselves on the extent of their sales. The wind even seemed to favour at the beginning the disposal of native productions. A settled east wind had retarded the arrival of the newest English calicoes and printed cottons at Hamburgh for more than a week. The impatience of the northern purchasers was by this means confined to Saxon pro- ductions, which were calculated to allure them by new patterns and attractive colours, ( especially the ama- ranth.) At the very beginning, many houses of Chom- nitz( a manufacturing town of Saxony), did much busi- ness and received great orders in these articles. Many northern buyers found themselves disappointed in the prices when the newest English ware, actually arrived, ( three ship loads of which were hurried on to Leipsic with redoubled speed before the rest) as they expected these prices would be as low as they had for- merly been. But the Britons had now got quit of the refuse of their warehouses; and, with regard to their fresh productions, they had found a convenient market beyond the Atlantic. They, therefore, held up their good undamaged commodities at a high price, and thus induced many dealers to resort to continental wares ( particularly the French and Swiss cottons), which were not inferior to the English in intrinsic value, and even surpassed them in the elegance of the pattern, and to take advantage of the opportunity offered them by making gieat purchases. If we nevertheless hear that the English wares were sold at reduced prices, and thereby were nearly thrown away, we shall find on closer examination that the English merchants merely allowed such reductions when they wished to disen- cumber themselves of their damaged or old fashioned articles.— The silk- manufacturers at Lyons and other parts met with a good market * * * * " All woollen manufactures over which capricious fashion had waved her magic wand found in this fair an eager. sale. Merinos under their various denomina- tions were favourite articles; while, on the contrary, kerseymeres and other articles of the kind, as well as common wollens, and whatever was not superfine, were little sought after, and disposed of with difficulty. The nothern dealers frequently preferred the Saxon Merinos to the English. The latter have more gloss, but they are not so soft and kindly to the touch as the Saxon; for when made of unmixed English wool they have al- ways a rough feel. The Saxon yarn, spun with the hand, excels in cloth that made by machinery. But spinning machines are now multiplying so much in Saxony as to excite some anxiety about those whom they w ill throw out of employment. The price of the best wools at the fair rose very high, and, according to their quality, were sold at from 35 to 40 rix dollars, mostly for Dutch and English account. Great busi- ness was done in leather, but very inconsiderable iu linen. The speculative spirit of the British is desirous of introducing cotton instead'of linen shirts. The Le- vant is overflowed with such articles, sold at the cheap- est rate, and even disposed of in the ready made form. The Spanish ports of Cadiz and Bilboa, formerly so well supplied with German linen, have long ago broken off all connection with us. The Spanish dominions in South America appear for ever to have dissolved all connexion between themselves aud the mother country, and to have their ports open only to British and West Indian commerce. In the United North American provinces linen manufactures have made unexpected progress. Flax is there used as the ballast of vessels *** » *_ There was not wanting abundance of British iron wares at the Leipsic fair, but they were so high in price, like all the other products of British industry, that home products did not suffer by them. Few only can pay five rix- dollars, or a guinea for their new snuffers, on the improved principle, as they call it, though provided with an aparatus to remove the snuff by a roller." HORRIBLE SUPERSTITION.— Extract of a Letter from the Rev. Horatio Bardwell, a Missionary from the United States, dated Bombay, Feb. 8. 1817 :—" A few weeks ago, I witnessed the swinging of two per- sons, as it is called, suspended by hooks thrust through the fleshy part of the back. The machine consists ofa perpendicular post, about 12 fett high. At the top of this was a pivot that sustained a horizontal pole; atone end of this Ihe hooks were fastened, at the other end ropes were fixed to raise the hooks. The whole machine was placed, upon wheels. Just before the first person was suspended, an old man, girded with a belt strung with little bells, and deformed with numerous badges of horrid superstition, seized a young kid that was pre- sented to him, tore open the jugular vein with his teeth, and like a monster sucked the blood, while the little animal was struggling in death. This sacrifice being made, a procession then formed and marched a number of times round the car. They at length stopped, and a man about 30 years of age was quickly suspended on the hooks, and the car was then drawn by the people a number of times round the yard, attended by tomtoms and shootings of the multitude". After being drawn around about ten minutes, he was let down, and a woman suspended in the same manner. Neither of these persons discovered the least signs of pain, bn't seemed wholly at ease. When they were let down, the multitude pressed round to touch them, as though some peculiar blessings or virtue was communicated. This painful ceremony was performed before a small temple, in consequence, and as the performance of certain vows voluntarily made by thepersons who were thus tormented. The next day two other persons were suspended in the same way." The plague having horribly depopulated Al- giers, the new Dey has commanded that all the unmarried men, above twenty years of age, should be conducted to the public place, and amply gratified with the bastinado, to give them a desire for wedlock. This is the prelude to a new empire of women, which is about to be established among the barbarians; and it must be said that the education of the young men has commenced even before marriage. The Stock of the Bath Savings Bank already amounts to £ 20,000. LAW INTELIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 24. THE KING V. JAMES BINGHAM THE ELDER, AND JAMES BINGHAM THE YOUNGER • These defendants were convicted at the last Assizes for Kent, of an assault upon Wm, Frost and four others, marine's, assisting an Excise Officer in the execution of his duty. On the motion of Mr. Serjeant Onslow they were sentenced to six months imprisonment in Maidstone gaol, and at the expiration of that time to find security for their good behaviour for three years-, themselves in ,£ 100. each, and two sufficient sureties ill ,£- 10. each, respectively. MARGATE PIER COMPANY. Cause was now shewn against a rule obtained in the present Term by Mr. Gurney, calling upon the Margate Pier Company to secure the payment of certain parish rates, they not having any property oil the Pier which could be distrained. It was contended against the rule, that the Company had property on the Pier upon which a distress could be levied. They had a crane which cost £ 250., and a sloop. Mr. Gurney observed, that this crane was a fixture, and could not be removed; or if it was not a fixture, it would, if taken down, be worth very little. The Court held, that it was pioperty upon which a distress could be levied, and discharged the rule, TUMULT AT BRIGHTON. Nov. 25.— Mr. Shepherd moved for a Writ of Habeas Corpus to be directed to the Keeper of Horsham Gaol, commanding him to bring up the body of a soldier named James Day, committed on the verdict of the Coroner's Jury, on the charge of the Wilful Murder ofa Consta- ble, named Thomas Rowles, who was killed in the late tumults at Brighton, which happened on the 51b of November last, for the purpose of being bailed. From the affidavits it appeared, that the prisoner had been called in with other soldiers to assist the peace- officers in repressing the tumult on that occasion ; and, that the night being dark, he unfortunately wounded the deceased, in consequence of the latter having suddenly turned round, when the military were in full pursuit of the mob. Previous malice or design was expressly negatived, and under these circumstances. The Court ordered the Writ to issue. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. Gurney moved for a criminal information against two Magistrates ofthe County of Kent, Mr. Young and Mr. Goodenough, for improper conduct on their part in the discharge of their official duties in the licensing of public- houses. It appeared, from the affidavits, that it was the cus- tom of the Magistrates to hold an annual meeting at the Mitre at Greenwich, for the licensing of public- houses in the division of Blackheath and Little and Less Ness; the preceptsfor such meeting was issued on the 20th of July last, to the High Constable, by the Magistrates; and every Magistrate in the division, amounting to 19, received notices to attend the said meeting on the 1st of Sept. Amongst the other Magistrates the two de- fendants received their notices to attend the meeting; notwithstanding which, they, on the 26th of August, of their own authority, issued summonses to the publicans, lo attend them on the 1st of September, at the Lord Moira public- house, at Charlton, where a number of publicans did attend, and they licensed 68, against se- veral of whom complaints of misconduct had been pre- ferred to the general meeting of Magistrates. Lord Ellenborough— Take your rule to shew cause. THE KING V. JAMES WILLIAMS. The defendant had admitted judgment to go by de- fault on an information charging him, a bookseller and. stationer at Portsea, with printing and publishing a scandalous infamous, and impious libel, tending to bring into contempt that part of the service of the Church of England, called the Litany. He was now brought up, on the motionof the Attorney- General, to receive judg- ment. The officer of the Court was about to read the information and the libel, when the defendant inter- posed, and said, that he did not wish the Court to be troubled by the repetition of the offensive matter. He then put in two affidavits by himself, in which he de- posed, that lie had been 15 years in business, and had not until now been accused ofthe slightest infringement of the law: that he was entirely unconnected with and unknown to the original publisher of the libel in ques- tion, which he had reprinted at the request ot a travel- ling dealer, without being at all aware of their danger- ous tendency ; for him he bad struck off 250 copies, be- sides some that he had reserved for himself, the sale of which he stopped immediately he learnt their profane and illegal nature, at the same time ordering the types to be dispersed. He had a wife and 5 children depend- ing upon him for support. Other affidavits from persons resident at Portsea were put in; they gave the defendant au excellent cha- racter for general loyalty and propriety of demeanor. The Attorney General then addressed their Lordships for the Prosecution, and was replied to by Mr. Robin- son, on behalf of the Defendant, after which The Attorney- General informed the Court, that there was a second information against the defendant for a blasphemous parody upon the Creed of Saint Athana. sius. The officer was about to read it, when the de- fendant again interposed, observing that it was un- necessary. The Attorney General described this publication as quite as injurious as the preceding: although a fair and discreet discussion of the- mysterious parts of the Li- turgy might be warranted, irreverent and blasphemous ridicule of them could not be endured. Mr. Topping, on the same side, felt called upon by what had fallen from Mr. Robinson, to say that it was impossible the defendant should not have known Hie wicked nature of these publications; be could not have derived his first information of it from the newspapers. Mr. Robinson regretted that any thing that had fallen from him should have raised any feeling of asperity ; it was far from his intention to excite it; he only felt in common with his client, sincere regret that he had been made the instrument of the vvidei circulation of these productions. He allowed that to parody the Creed of St. Athanasius was an offence meriting punishment, but he hoped the Court would not attribute to the defendant a criminality not charged, although it should appear on Ihe face of the libel. All persons acquainted with the history of the Christian Church knew that some illustri- ous members ofthe Church of England, and some high ornaments of the Bench, had expressed their wish that the Creed of St. Athanasius had been couched in a form less peculiar. Mr. Justice Bayley. in passing sentence, observed, that the libels in question well merited the epithets be- stowed upon them in the information: they were cal- culated to undermine the foundation of all moral and re- ligious duties, and to bring into ridicule and contempt the sacred ordinances of Ihe Church ; to fill the minds, more especially ot the lower orders, with light and tri- vial matters, at a time when they ought to be devoted to the service and adoration of God. The case before the Court was certainly not one of the most aggravated description ; lint if the defendant had unpremeditatedly been the means of circulating these blasphemous pro- ductions, the evil with respect to others was the. same; a slight perusal of them was sufficient to convince any man who reverenced the sacred institutions of his coun try, that they were profane and scandalous. It was i been thrown out of employ. The d; said, that the Creed of St. Athanasius had been objected at from 12 lo £ 15,000 ten ot which, to by some of the. holiest and ablest men : it might be insured. POLICE. MANSION HOUSE,— Extensive forgeries. V. ... s Y Timothy Macnamara, Thomas Buttery, John Hawkins, Thomas James, and Anne Wilson, alias Priscilla Gough, underwent a final examination, charged with being con- cerned in forging and uttering as true, divers wills, purporting to be those of seamen in the service, of the East India Company, with intent to defraud that esta- blishment." The only case gone into was relative to one Benj. Mann, belonging to the East India Company's ship Harkworth, when Buttery had described the woman, Wilson, as the sole executrix of Mann, who, he added, died on board the above- mentioned ship in his presence, and he, accordingly, since attested the deed. How- ever, the brother of the prisoner Mann now swore- to the latter as being in his house, at Mount Eleigh, Suf- folk, on the identical 5th of Jan. 1816. Anne Wilson, alias Priscilla Gough, confirmed all the leading points. Buttery and Macnamara were fully committed to New- gate for trial. Hawkins and James were discharged upon their own recognizances to appear upon the trial; and the female prisoner was ordered to be detained in Giltspur- street Compter to give evidence at the Sessions. UNION- HALL.— Hutching Sand.— This was an infor- mation laid by Hyams, the informer, against Thomas Crutch, of Deptford Broadway, for hawking sand With- out a license. The defendant said that he purchased the sand of Mr. Lee, at Lewisham, and gave him 4s. a lo? d for it; he dug the sand himself out of the pit; he contended that sand being a raw material, could not possibly come within the meaning and construction of the Act. The Magistrate over- ruled the defendant's objection, and convicted him in the penalty of £ 10. The defendant appealed to the Session. Melancholy Case of Poisoning An Inquisition was taken on Wednesday before Hugh Lewis', Esq. Coro- ner, at the Shakspeare Tavern, Lavon- street, Eaton- street, Pimlico, on the body of Mr. David Sarjant, one of the figurante, and a performer of minor characters in the drama at Covent- Garden Theatre, whose death was caused by his taking poison. Francis Roger Parslow, surgeon, Eaton- street, Pim- lico, being sworn, said, that on Saturday night, about 12 o'clock, Mr. Rickerby, of No. 1, Brewer- street, came to his house and requested him to go to the de- ceased, who resided in the same house as Mr, Rickerby. He sent his assistant, who took a powerful emetic with him, and told him to send for him if the deceased had taken poison. He received a message in a short time, requiring his attendance; he went immediately, aid found the deceased quite insensible, and apparently under the influence of opium. He used every possible means to restore the deceased without effect -. he re- mained insensible till four o'clock on the following morning, when he expired. Coroner—" Can you make an oaths that the deceased took opium ?" Witness—" He laboured under those symptoms which persons who have taken opium in an excessive quantity invariably do, but he would not swear that opium was what he had taken, as there were other soporiferous medicines that would produce the same effects." „ The Coroner and Jury requested Mr. Parslow to open the body. During the operation Wm. Rickerby, Esq. was examined. He stated, that on Saturday night the deceased came home from the Theatre; a lady who resides in the house called i « him, and said, that the deceased was apparently intoxi- cated, and wanted assistance to bed. He went to him and found him lying on his bed. The deceased was sensible when he spoke to him, but appeared very much intoxicated. He said that he had taken 3s. worth of laudanum, and unless Mr. Parslow was sent for he should be dead in 2 hours. He asked liim bis reason for acting in such a manner as he had done? and he le- plied, - that his circumstances were very much embar- rassed ; that he could not answer the demands his cre- ditors had upon him, and it had such an effect on his mind that he could no longer bear it, - and rashly took poison. The deceased paid great attention to a lady who lived in the house, who had frequently given him money to relieve his embarrassments, He knew of no difference between the deceased and the lady. For the last 2 months the deceased has been much given to drinking. Mr. Parslow attended the deceased until he died, and used every means to recover him. Francis Roger Parslow, Surgeon, being re- examined, said, that at the request of the Coroner and Jury he had opened the body of the deceased: he found in his sto- mach a quantity of black fluid, which he. knew to be opium. The opium was the cause of his death. Mr. Wm. Bambrough, assistant- apothecary to Mr. Watkins, No. 2, King's- road, Pimlico, stated that the deceased came to their shop on Saturday evening, and asked for six pennyworth of laudanum; he said that lie was ill the habit of taking some every night to make him sleep; he refused to let him have such a quantity; be sold him two pennyworth, which is the greatest quantity they sell to strangers. It appeared from other evidence, that the deceased had purchased opium at different shops in the neigh- bourhood of Covent Garden on Saturday night. Verdict—" The deceased took poison in a state of insanity." Dreadful. Fire at Kidderminster.— Extract of letter from Hates- Owen, in an Evening Paper:— The exten- sive carpet- manufactory, at Kidderminster, belonging to Messrs. Hooman and Co , was on Sunday morning completely destroyed by fire, supposed to' be the work ofsome incendiaries : the more especially as the people employed there had struck some time in the week, in consequence of a refusal to advance their wages. The premises suddenly burst forth into a blaze, about half- past eleven o'clock iu the morning, during the time of Divine service, and when there was hardly a person to be seen in the Streets. On the alarm being given, the whole congregation, together with the Clergyman, im- mediately rushed forth to assist in reducing the flames, which in so short a space of time, bad spread to an alarm- ing height, in consequence of the great quantity of oil on the premises necessary in the manufacturing the wool, & e. The clergyman, in liis praise- worthy effort, had ond of his fingers dislocated, but after causing it to be replaced by a medical man, he rejoined the inha- bitants, with his arm in, a sling, and again renewed his assistance. The engines of the town were speedily brought into action, and the premises being adjoining the canal, water fortunately could be procured in abun- dance. The engines also from Bewdley, one from Stourport, and another from Stourbridge, arrived with all possible expedition ; notwithstanding which, it was a very considerable time before the flames could be got under, and had not tiie greatest exertions been" made use of, or had the accident unfortunately happened during the night, a great part of ihe town must inevi- tably have been destroyed. There can be but little doubt of its having been wilfully done, as the foreman had been round the premises about ten o'clock, when every thing was safe. The workmen in the town ins this employ were in a state of ferment in consequence- of the demand for an increase of' wages not being ac- ce - ed to, which is thought not to be yet allayed. A party of dragoons have just passed through here from Birmingham ( seven o'clock) on their way to Kidder- minster, which bears an unfavourable aspect.

The damage is estimated 1 understand, are so; but then calm aud learned discussion could be uo warrant for an intemperate and impious attack like the present. With regard to others who bad first been guilty of Ibis offence, they might or might not be more deserving of punishment; the Court always measured its sentences by the circumstances before it, not ag- gravating the punishment; in the case earliest brought before it because it is the first, nor diminishing it in the latest because it is the last. The sentence was- that the defendant, for the first libel, should be imprisoned in Winchester gaol for eight calendar months, PaJ'a fine of £" 100. and give security for five years, himself in £' 300. and two sureties in ,£ 150. each. Foi lie second libel it was ordered, that he should be impri- soned four calendar months. The Rule Nisi obtained by Wooler to set aside the striking of the Jury in his case at the Crown- Office, was on Thursday morning discharged in . the Court ot King's Bench, which decided that the Jury had been fairly chosen. Wooler's Trial, therefore, stands for the Sittings after Term. Mr, Hone has received Ihe following official communications, that he is immediately to be brought to trial upon the several informations filed against him by his Majesty's Attorney- General: In the King's Bench.

LATE MURDER 0F MR. PHILLIPS. The Journal d'Amiens gives the following extract from the indictment against Frederic, the German, who is accused, of having murdered Mr. Phillips. The cause is carried before the Prcvotal Court of the Department ofthe Somme : — Phillips, a fruit- merchant of London, bad, for several years, employed as an agent at Dieppe the above named Frederic Freihangen ; Phil- ips landed at Calais towards the latter end of ast September, with money for his commercial transactions, and had appointed Frederic Frei- hangen to meet him at the hotel of the Tete de Boeuf, at Abbeville, 011 the 7th Octobcr. There they met accordingly, and set off together the same day, between seven and eight o'clock in the evening, to go to Dieppe. They travelled in a cabriolet, drawn by one horse, with which Freihangen had come from Dieppe to Abbeville. Arrived a little beyond the village of Mianny they alighted, and il was there that Freihangen, having armed himself with some large flints that were lying about, struck Phillips on the head, and fractured his skull. He then dragged body into the fields, about fifty paces from the road side, and rifled it of money aud a watch. This double crime being thus perpetrated, he remounted the cabriolet, and arrived at the town of En about two o'clock in the morning, where he alighted at the Inn of Sieur Ducotry. The next day, between seven and eight o' clock, lie ordered some water to be brought him to wash his hands, still dyed with blood, and to cleanse some parts of bis clothes which were also bloody. Not having sufficient water to wash his riding coat, he went into a neigh- bouring park and washed it in the water. On Friday, the 10th of Octobcr, Freihangen was arrested, while returning to Abbeville.— They found upon bis person a sum amounting to about 157 francs, almost all in gold, a watch, and some papers. There were many spots of blood in the Inte- rior of the cabriolet; they found also three gloves all bloody, one of which belonged to Freihangen and two to Phillips, Since his arrest the accused has endeavoured to destroy himself, by inflicting, with a razor, three large wounds, one upon his throat, and two upon his left arm. In consequence of these facts, fhe Prevotal Court has declared itself competent, as there are sufficient grounds of suspicion against Frei- hangen, of homicide voluntarily committed, fol- lowed by robbery, in a public place. . V THE QUEEN, & c. At twenty minutes before seven on Monday morning, the Duke of Clarence left Windsor in a post- chariot and four, to precede the Queen, in her journey to Bath. A little after seven, the Queen, accompanied by the Princess Elizabeth, left the Castle followed by their attendants in three carriages and four. Two of the carriages took post horses at the Star Inn Maidenhead : the carriage of her Majesty passed on with her own horses, to a relay posted at the house near the Thicket. The Royal Party appeared in good health, but melancholy was depicted on their countenances. They passed through Reading at half- past nine o'clock, but it was supposed that her Majesty would not alight until they reached Marlborough, which they would pro- bably do about one. The Royal Parly did not change hordes at Newbury; the relay of horses, which had been posted there, were ordered to meet the Royal carriage at a short distance from the town, and the Queen passed rapidly through it. Bath, Nov. 25.— The late arrival of her Ma- jesty prevented our having the pleasure of com- municating to you any particulars of the journey, & c. the mail leaving Bath during the time of her Ma jesty's entrance. From all accounts collected at the Queen's residence,', we have the happiness to state, that her Majesty endured the fatigue of travelling extremely well. Her Majesty and suite then alighted at Newbury for a short time, then proceeded to the Castle Inn, Marlbo- rough, where her Majesty " partook of her usual breakfast. Her Majesty then proceeded through " M. M. Comte and Dunoyer were set at liberty on Saturday. " Letters from Madrid state, that preparations were making at Cadiz to reccive the Russian squadron. Immediately on its arrival some Spanish ships are to join it, and the whole fleet is to be employed to transport 8000 men and a large train of artillery to South America. *' Petersburgh, Oct. 31.— Lord Cathcart, tbe English Ambassador to this Court, set out some days since to proceed to Moscow. " Madrid, Nov. 11.— The King to relieve the agricultural interests of some of the Provinces, has permitted the exportation of 500,000 fanegar of wheat by Santander, and of 400,000 by Za- mora, subject to a duty of 4 revels per fanega " Berlin, Nov. 10.— The Council of State is about to assemble here, notwithstanding the ab- sence of ihc Prince de Hardenberg, to deliberate upon Financial Affairs of the highest importance. " Intelligence from Russia received to- day states, that the Emperor of Russia proposes to return for some weeks to St. Petersburgh, and then to proceed again to Moscow." A Mail arrived on Thursday from the Leeward Islands. The letters from Antigua state, that that Island was healthy, and the markets well stocked with provisions. Granada, on the con- trary, was in a very sickly state, and the deaths were daily increasing. ' Fhe accounts from St. Thomas's are of the 20th ult. There had been no direct intercourse between that island and the Spanish Main for some weeks previous to that date; but tbe reports circuitously received were all favourable to the cause ofthe Independents. We regret to state, that a number of British Of- ficers, who had arrived at St. Thomas's with the intention of proceeding to join the Patriots in South America, were reduced to the necessity of submitting ( o a subscription for their relief, in consequence of the promises held out to them by the Agents here not having been realized. It is added, that this severe disappointment had produced quarrels amongst them, in which two or more of the British Officers fell by the hands of their military brethren. The Agents at St. Thomas's had, it is understood, declined making any advances to them, until the return of a ves- sel which bad been dispatched to ascertain the state of affairs 011 the Spanish Main. The vessel had been gone three weeks at the date of the latest letters from St. Thomas's. A Lisbon Mail arrived 011 Friday morning; but it brings 110 other intelligence than the ap- pointments of certain individuals to be Ambas- sadors at different European Courts extracted Devizes to Afford, where the last relays were in waiting to forward her Majesty to Bath. The horses and postboys were exactly in the same style as at the first Royal visit. It is with sin- cere pleasure we add, that the behaviour of the immense number of spectators was highly deco- rous aud respectful; and the affable and conde- scending manner in which her Majesty and the Princess Elizabeth noticed these marks of at tachment, were particularly gratifying to the assembled concourse. No loud acclamations of joy— all was as it ought to be, conducted with a due degree of becoming attention, & c. His Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence arrived at five o'clock ; her Majesty exactly a quarter before six— having travelled from Atford to Bath in forty- five minutes, a nine- mile stage. The account this moment communicated to us is very satisfactory; her Majesty partook of a late dinner last evening, slept well, and arose this morning about nine o'clock, free from the least sign of fatigue, and appearing in good health. The Mayor in this instant going to pay his respects to her Majesty. The Duke of Clarence has just passed our house walking with the Princess Elizabeth, ac- companied by Miss Rice.— It is expected that her Majesty will take the waters to- morrow. The Committee, for managing and regulating the parochial ways and spacious streets, where tbe Queen's Palace ( and such it may be justly termed) is situated, have not been idle during her Majesty's lamented absence. The shrub- bery in front of the house, lately a disgusting gravel pit, has assumed a pleasing picturesque appearance, aud a mast, nearly 100 feet in height, has been fixed in the centre of it, from which a well executed flag, with the Royal Arms, is waving. The Mayor summoned the Members of the Body Corporate, this day to Guildhall, lo consi der of addressing the Prince Regent, her Majesty, and Prince Leopold upon the late event, which has deprived the Kingdom of a gem, so valuable in the diadem of England. We understand that three affecting and loyal Addresses were pro- duced, and adopted by this grateful aud so highly honoured Corporation. Extract of a Letter from Bath, dated Nov. 26. " From the brilliancy of the morning yesterday, it was expected that her Majesty would have been tempted abroad, and iu consequence the neighbourhood of her residence was thronged with company during the greater part of the day, We give the following details from a Belgian Paper received 011 Friday morning: — Brussels, Nov. 21.— Hitherto we know nothing with certainty respecting the dismissal of the Commissary General of War ; but we regret, ex- tremely, to have to relate all the rumours which circulate on that of his Royal Highness the He- reditary Prince. The following arc what appear most probable to us. Every one knows that his Royal High- ness is charged with the direction of the War Department. •, M. Golz was placed under him, with the title of Commissary General. It is said, that M. Golz submitted to the King a plan concerning the officers 011 half- pay ; that the result of this plan was, that forty- two of those officers who were worthy of recommenda- tion from their distinguished services, and who, 011 that account, had been particularly recom- mended by his Royal Highness, were placed at the disposition of the Colonial Minister, to he sent to Batavia: That the Prince considered this mode of plac- ing them on active service, inconsistent w ith the protection aud kindness he had manifested to- wards them; That it appeared to him, if he had the supreme direction of the War Department, it was but common decorum to ask his opinion, and that M. de Golz had entirely failed iu that respect. It is said that inconsequence he has entreated the King, as a favour, that be may have 110 more intercourse with M. de Golz, by his Majesty giving a dismissal to one or the other. It is added, that the King desired to see the Prince, to give a verbal explanation upon the subject; but that the latter, fearing he should hesitate between the dictates of honour, and his respectful affection for his" Majesty, entreated that he would take his request into consideration1, and signify his sovereign will previously. It is certain that the King has accepted the resignation of all the offices held by the Prince his son. We are assured, however, that after this, these august persons had an interview at the residence of our beloved Princess, who shares with the House of Nassau, the love and the respect ol Ihe inhabitants of the kingdom,— Journal de la Belgique. from the Rio Janeiro Gazette of the 10th Sept. Intelligence has been received at Constanti- nople of the total defeat, capture, and death of the rebel Toutchi Onglow. He had succeeded in placing himself at the head of an army of 15,000 men, but was unable to withstand the force led against him by Haznadar- Oglow de Giarick. This event will, it is expected, com pletely re- establish the tranquility of Asia Minor. The following is an extract of a letter from Russia, dated October L:—" It gives me plea- sure to inform you, that we have received, within these few days, letters from Lieut. Kotzebue.— On leaving Kamtschatka, in the beginning of July, 1816, he sailed through the Straits of Beh- ring, and was fortunate enough to range the coast of America to the latitude of 07 deg. w here he discovered a large inlet extending far to the eastward. N'ot being able to explore the whole of it ( we imagine on account of the lateness of the season), he was obliged to leave it, but with the intention to examine it this year. Although I do not believe in a communication between the North Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean, yet the discovery of this inlet does not leave me alto- gether deprived of the hope that such a commu- nication may yet be found. I only fear that Lieut. Kotzebue, in exploring, by this inlet, the interior parts of America, may penetrate so far as not to be able to return by Behring's Strait, which, in the latter end of September, is proba- bly choaked with ice. I will not fail to inform you of his success if he shall have any."— We are willing to entertain better hopes of Lieut. Kotzebue's success in this present year's at- tempt than the writer of the above letter. It has long been observed, that between Greenland and Spitzbergen a current is constantly running southward. This current may possibly be de- rived,- and it has been conjectured to have its supply, from the Great South Sea. If such be the fact, the stream may have conveyed the en- terprising Lieutenant, before this, into our own Northern Sea; and our next dispatches may bring us the satisfactory news of his arrival, by that route, at Petersburgh. Mr. Peel has written to the Mayor of Cork, intimating, that orders had been issued to the Inspector of Windows arid Hearths, with a view to have those which have been closed since the last year, re- opened,, free of duty, wherever it may be deemed necessary to the health of the inhabitants.— Dublin Evening; Post. but they were not gratified by her appearance. This morning, Wednesday, the Queen, the Prin- cess Elizabeth, and the Duke of Clarence, went to the Pump- room at nine o'clock, and her Majesty resumed drinking the water. The royal party were attended by the Countesses of Ilchester and Melville; Gens. Sir H. Campbell and Tay lor; and Col. Disbrow, and were received in the Pump- room by her Majesty's physician, Dr. Gibbes; Mr. Tudor, surgeon; and by Capt. Wyke and Mr, Marshall, tiie Masters of the Cere- monies. Her Majesty and the Princess Elizabeth this morning sent the same subscriptions (£ 50 and £ 10) to the Kingston- rooms, as had, by their command, been presented at the Upper- rooms. , On Monday, at an Assembly of the Body Corpo- rate, Addresses of Condolence to the Queen, Prince Regent, and Prince Leopold, on the late afflicting event, were unanimously adopted. At a former Assembly, it was resolved to presenl the freedom of the city to his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, in a gold box of 50 gui- neas value. The Address was presented to her Majesty, this day, by the Sheriffs, and most gr£ i- ciously received."' COUNTY MEETING On Monday last a County Meeting took place in the Shire- hall for the County of Hereford, pur- suant to advertisement,- for the purpose of re solving upon au Address of Condolence to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, on the late melancholy event, which has so deeply afflicted; the Royal Family and the whole kingdom. Tom- kyns Dew, Esq. the High Sheriff, opened the : Meeting by stating its object, and the satisfac- tion he felt in complying with the wishes of those highly respectable gentlemen who signed the Requisition, the intentions of which must meet the approbation of every one. Lord Somers, the Lord Lieutenant for the County, then rose and proposed the Address, which he read, and in an eloquent and affecting speech eulogised the vir- tues of our departed and deeply lamented Prin- cess, to whose memory he paid a just tribute of praise, and forcibly depicted the overwhelming grief that afflicted her husband and Royal Fa- ther, whose loss no language could express, or commiseration assuage, and whose sorrow was participated in. and felt by every individual in the nation. In framing the Address, he had felt that this County, whilst it expressed the deepest grief at the occurrence which afflicted all, and ottered its humble condolence on the sorrowful event, ought also to express that re- gard and loyalty towards the present Royal Fa- mily, which has always distinguished it, and ' offer a fervent wish for a long and prosperous life to the Prince Regent, and a sincere hope that the succession to the Crown of this King dom may continue for ages with the Heirs to the Illustrious House of Brunswick. His Lord- ship hoped the Address would meet the appro- bation of every one, and concluded with moving that it should be adopted. Sir J. G. Cotterell, M. P. seconded the motion, which was proposed by the Sheriff, and unanimously approved of. Colonel Matthews then moved that the Address should be presented to the Prince Regent by the Lord Lieutenant of the County, and that the Sheriff should sign it in the name of the Meet- ing, which was seconded by the Rev. Mr. Lilley. Robert Price, Esq. of Foxley, jun, suggested that it was usual for the Sheriff, on all occasions, to convey the sentiments of the county to the Throne, in which S. Peploe, Esq. and E. M. Barrett, Esq. concurred, and after some obser vations, it was agreed that the Sheriff was the proper person to present the Address, and also that he should sign it in the name of the meet ing. The Rev. Mr. Lilley then moved the thank: of the Meeting to Lord Somers, for the pro me titude with which he attended the Meeting, and for preparing and moving the Address, which was seconded by Col. Garbett Walsham, and unanimously approved of. Lord Somers return- ed his thanks for the honor he had received. The High Sheriff having left the Chair, it was taken by Sir G. Cornewall, Bart, at the request of all present, and the thanks of the Meeting were moved to the Sheriff for his conduct in the Chair, and readiness in calling the Meeting, by Sir J G. Cotterell, M. P. and seconded by E. B. Clive, Esq. and unanimously agreed to. The Meeting was then dissolved by the venerable Chairman. A Court of Common Council was convened 011 Thursday for the purpose of publicly expressin its condolence upon our severe national loss; and we sincerely applaud the delicacy of its pro ceediug. Instead of moving an Address, which must have been presented lo our afflicted Regent in person, and upon whom, consequently, would have devolved the painful office of a reply, thev contented themselves with merely coming to a resolution, conveying their deep regrets. This resolution was ordered to be published in all the usual Papers, and thus they have been enabled to gratify their wishes, as a corporate body, with out, at the same time, producing a scene from which every feeling mind must shrink. We have no doubt this course will be adopted by tbe Uni- versities. With respect to other addresses, they exact no personal interview, it will not be necessary to follow so laudable an example. Summonses were issued for the Prince Re- gent holding a Court on Thursday at five o'clock, at the Pavilion at Brighton. The Cabinet Ministers who went to attend it were tbe Lord President of the Council, the Lord Privy Seal, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, the Secretary of State for Foreign affairs, and the Secretary of Stale for the Colonial Depart- ment. Viscount Chetwynd went fo attend as Clerk of the Council which was to be held. The late Mr. Henry Erskine.— Mr. Erskine's character was truly estimable, and the just ap- preciation of his virtues extended far beyond the circle of his own family and friends; it is a well authenticated fact, that a Writer ( or, we should say, attorney) in a distant part of Scot- land, representing to an oppressed aud needy tacksman, who bad applied to him for advice, the futility of entering into a law- suit with a wealthy neighbour, having himself 110 means of defending his cause, received for answer, " Ye diiina ken what ye say, Maister; there's nae a' puir man in Scotland need to want a friend or The Prince Leopold.— At Windsor, Prince Leopold w hen he first entered the room ( wherein all that his heart held dear was deposited), took off the coronet and cushion, and gazed with mute and fixed attention, his eyes stream- ing with tears. His Highness afterwards re- moved the pall; aud after reading the inscrip- tion, threw himself upon the coffin, which he embraced with a frantic ardour. The Duchess of York was so much afflicted when she paid her first visit of condolence at Claremont, as to be unable to enter the pre- sence of Prince Leopold.— Her Royal Highness was seized with an hysteric fit, which was so alarming, that ii became necessary to remove her out of the house. It is reported that a monument is to be erect- ed in Westminster Abbey to the memory of the Princess Charlotte, Lord Holland returned fa Holland House, Kensington on Thursday, from Paris, in a very indifferent state of health. On board the vessel in crossing the channel, his Lordship was Very sick, which brought 011 A gouty spasm in his sto- mach. This was the second attack of the same description. The first was in Paris. fear an enemy, while Harry Erskine lives!" , How much honour does that simple sentence con- vey to ihe generous and benevolent object of it! Loss of the William and Mary Packet.— A11 investigation of the circumstances attending this melancholy shipwreck, has lately taken place at the Council House, in Bristol, before Mr. Alder- man Fripp, which occupied many days. From the evidence given, it appeared that there was direct blame to be imputed to those who had the command of the vessel, and that there was ground for imputing to the crew of the vessel a dereliction of their duty as British seamen, and consequently of a great breach of- humanity, in leaving their posts at so early a stage oftlie dis- tress, and when their presence might have been most essentially useful. O11 the other hand, there was 110 proof of any act of wilful cruelty 011 the part of the men, nor of any conduct that may not be extenuated by tbe plea of self- pre- servation.— The body of the late Capt. Manley, of the William and iMary, was found, on Mon- day evening, the 17th, near the Summer- house at Boverton, about eight miles from tiie place where the vessel was wrecked, and on the same spot where the bodies of Mrs. Theballier and one of the other unfortunate Ladies had been previously found, National Society - Wednesday the half- yearly examination of the Children ( present 314), at the Central School in Baldwin gardens, took place, in the presence's] his Grace the Arch- bishop of Canterbury:^ present the Bishops of Loudon and Carlisle, sir James Langham, Bart. Rt, Hon. Sir John Nicholl, and other Members of the Committee, together with the most nume- rous assemblage of visitors we ever before wit- nessed ; a proof of the growing interest which the public take in this Institution. The man- ner in which the children acquitted themselves was most gratifying to the company, and we really think much surpassed what they had done at any of the preceding examinations. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury laid the first stone on Wednesday, with a bottle containing the coins of the realm, and a brass plate with an inscription commemorative of the event for the restoration of the Parish Church of St. Dunstan East, assisted by the Rev. Robt. Hesketh, Rector; John Howe and Wm. Ruston.- Esqrs. Wardens; and the Gentlemen of the Church and building Committees.— Mr. Laing is the architect, who produced a South view of the intended building, which is to be of Port- land stone entirely Gothic, and made to corres- pond as nearly as possible with the universally- admired structure of the Steeple, built by Sir C. Wren. Waterloo Monument.— It is again reported, that the Commissioners for erecting this nati- onal structure have fixed upon St. James's Park. • The Canal there being filled up, a beautiful pro- menade may be formed round the edifice, which will thus be in the neighbourhood of all our most important places of resort; in the view of two Palaces, and immediately in the presence of the military parade whence a great part, of those issued whose achievements it w ill commemorate. superb arch being formed where the ruins of St James's Palace now stand, a road, we learn, is intended to pass through the Park diagonally to Storey's Gate ; and, as that gate has hitherto been appropriated to the use of the Royal Fa- mily, it will be a concession, not an exclusion, to make this road a privileged one for Peers or Members of the two Houses in their way to and from Parliament. Through the arch, the Waterloo Monument will be visible from St. James's street. Tuesday George Chennel, jun. and William Chalcroft, the former charged with the murder of his father, and the latter with aiding and abetting in the same, arrived at Horsemonger- lane from Godalming, heavily ironed being com- mitted to take their trial at the next Guildford Assizes. A soldier, named Barber, of the 28th regi- ment now at Gosport, under orders for the Me- diterranean has become possessed of upwards of 100,000/. by the decease of a Gentleman in the West Indies, who had realized property amounting to 400,000/. w hich is directed to be divided between three persons, who are thus unexpectedly advanced from a state of indi- gence to the means of passing the remainder of their days in affluence and splendour. Barber has been about five years i: i the 28th regiment, where he has conducted himself much to the satisfaction of those Officers who have had op- portunities of observing his general conduct.— The other two fortunate individuals are Bar- ber's brother and his grandfather, who are na- tives of Frome in Somersetshire. Tuesday week a human skeleton was dug up in the garden of Mrs. Aldridge, at Maidenhead. The bones appear as if they had lain there 3 or 4 years, and are doubtless the reliques of some unfortunate victim to assassination. A cottage had been built near the place by Mr. Joshua Aldridge nearly six years since, the garden in- closed and premises let to the notorious Francis Povey, now a prisoner in Reading gaol, on a charge of housebreaking. Povey erected a goose shed on the spot, under which the bones were found, and this accounts for their remaining so long undiscovered, although the garden was frequently dug and the bones but a little di- stance beneath the surface of the earth. Since the apprehension of Francis Povey, his brother William took possession of the premises, till Mrs. Aldridge improved them for her own ha- bitation, and entered thereon a month ago; no other tenant ever occupied the house. An in- quiry is taking place on the subject, and a la- bouring man, named William Allen, is recol- lected to have disappeared from Maidenhead nearly four years since ; it was supposed at the time he had gone on a visit to his sister, but it is now understood, that she has never seen or heard from him since that period. Enormous Apple .— An enormous apple has been shewn, brought by the Belvidera from Baltimore which measured 15 inches in circum- ference, and weighed 24joz. We understand it has been sent to Sir Joseph Banks.— ( Liver- pool Advertiser. Nov. 20. ) A Judge in the Stocks.-— Lord Camden, when Chief Justice, was on a visit to Lord Dacre, his brother- in- law, at Aiey, in Essex, and had walked out with a Gentleman to the hill no great distance from the house, where on the summit by the road side, were the parish stocks; he sat down upon them, and after some little time, asked his companion to open them, as he bad an inclination to know what the punish- ment was ; this being done, the Gentleman took a book from his pocket, and sauntered on until he forgot the Judge and his situation, and returned to Lord Dacre's. The Learned Judge was soon tired of his situation, but found him- self unequal to open the stocks, and asked a countryman who happened to pass by, to assist him in obtaining his liberty, who said, " No, old Gentleman you were not placed there for nothing.;" and left him, until he was released by some of the servants, who were accidentally going that way. Not long after he presided at a trial in which a charge was brought against a Magistrate for false imprisonment and setting the plaintiff in the stocks.— The Counsel for the defendant, in his reply, made very light of the whole charge, and particularly of sitting in the stocks, which he said every body knew was no punishment at all. The Lord Chief Justice rose, and leaning over the bench, said, in a half- whisper--" Brother, were you ever in the stocks'.' — the Barister replied " Really, my Lord, ne- ver."—" Then I have" rejoined his Lordship ; " and I do assure you, ' Brother, it is no such trifle as you represent,'' I CHING's WORM LOZENGES. IT is a fact established hy the annual Bills of Mortality that one half of the Children born are cut off before attaining Seven Years of Age, and the fruitful source of this mortality is found to exist in thai foul state of the Stomach and Bowels which produces the generation of Worms. As the safe restorer of Infantine Health, in this critical state, "' Ching's Worm Lozenges," have long held a distinguished reputation : Mild and safe in their operation, suited to every stage of this pe- riod of Life, and infallible in their effect, their character has been sustained by the highest names in rank, re- spectability, and science, from a personal knowledge of their utility in their own families. Many fond and anxious Mothers, who have watched with inexpressible solicitude the dawning days of their Young Offspring, Knowing too well the dangers and vicissitudes of that tender age, have successfully had recourse to these Lozenges, and can gratefully testify to their excellence. As an opening Medicine in Spring and Summer, and for foulness of the Stomach and Bowels and Convulsions although Worms may not exist, it is allowed to be supe- rior to every other.

LONDON, December 2. Paris Papers to Friday's date were received ou Sunday night, and a Flanders Mail brought Brus Sels Journals to the 28th ult. The internal state oLFrance presents nothing of any importance.— The depression of the Funds continues, and the Five per Cents, have sunk below 64. We select the following articles from the Flanders Mail Brussels, Nov. 25.— It is said that their High nesscs the Prince and Princess of Orange will very shortly leave this city to go to the Hague. Hanover, Nov. 14— His Boyal Highness the Duke of Cambridge was, on the evening of the 10th, at an assembly at his Excellency's the Mini ster's Von Decken when he received I he unexpect- ed news of Ihe death of her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte. This melancholy event has thrown the whole Kingdom into consternation ? Vienna, Nov. 13.— Their Majesties did not re turn yesterday, as was expected, and it is said letters from Gratz have announced that they will not be here before the 19th- His Majesty has just secured a very comfort ablr competency to an invalid of his army; he is 115 years of age, and has been in the service 82 years. Accounts have been received from the North- west Country of Canada. Lord Selkirk had been held to bail by the Government Commissioners in the sum of 60001. to appear in Montreal on the 1st of next March. The North- west Partners, however, refused to become bound to prosecute. They assign as a reason for this, that his Lord- ship ought to have been sent down a prisoner upon the heavy charges already alledged against him. The prosecution, therefore, if carried on at all must be at the suit and expence of Govern ment. Captains Mathey and D'Orsonnes, and Messrs. Allen, M'Donnell, Pampluin, M'Leod, and Bruce, in the service of Lord Selkirk, were also held to bail, in different sums, from 4001. to 35901. It was expected Lord Selkirk would return to Canada before the end of the season. Saturday night's Gazette contains a Proclama- tion prohibiting his Majesty's subjects from serving in the military forces, or ships of war, of the Spaniards or Spanish Americans. There is an exception in favour of those who have already entered the Spanish service with the leave of our Government; but they are not to serve with the forces of his Catholic Majesty in Spanish America. We understand that the Dey of Tripoli has consented to receive a man of science and lite- rature at his Court, lo reside there, and acquire the language and manners of the country ; after which he will give him a military escort to pene- trate into the interior of Africa. In consequence of this, Joseph Ritchie, Esq. now the private secretary of Sir Charles Stuart, is selected as a person highly qualified for this undertaking.— He will he appointed Consul at Tripoli; and he will travel with the caravan to Tombuctoo.— This, after all the unsuccessful expeditions that have taken place, promises to produce the infor- mation so much wanted. No person is better qualified for the important task than Mr. Ritchie It is stated in the French Papers received on Sunday, that Frederick Freihangen, a native of Koenigsberg in Prussia, and for some years past a resident at Dieppe, was condemned by the Prevotal Coast of Amiens, on the 21st ult. being convicted of having murdered Mr. Philips, the fruiterer, of London, on the road from Ca his to Dieppe. A few days before his convic- tion be abjured the Lutheran Religion and em braced the Catholic faith. He was execute ' on the 22d, end displayed a firmness which seemed inspired by religion. He was accompanied by the ecclesiastic who received his abjuration. SURREY COUNTY MEETING. On Saturday a numerous Meeting of the No- blemen and Gentlemen of the county of Surrey, was held at the Spread Eagle Inn, at Epsom, for the purpose of preparing Addresses of Condo- lence to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, and his Serene Highness Prince Leopold of Saxe Cobourg, on the melancholy death of her late Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte. At one o'clock the High Sheriff of the county en- tered the room, accompanied by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Cranley, Mr. Holme Sumner, M. P., Mr. Thornton, M. P., the County Members) Mr. Shaw, M. P., Colonel Gaitskill, M. P., Mr. Frecmantle, M. P., Sir T. Turton, Mr. Reid, the East India Director, and several other Gentlemen of respectability. The High Sheriff, ou taking the Chair, read the Requisition, in pursuance of which he lost no time in convening the present meeting. Mr. Thornton rose to open the business of the day. He said, it was his first opinion that the melancholy event which had plunged tbe na- tion into so much woe, ought to be permitted to pass by the country in mournful silence; but when they saw that other counties and other places throughout the country had acted in a different manner, and had adopted Addresses of Condolence to the'Royal Family, who were nOw suffering under so bitter a visitation, he thought it became them, at least as much as others, to pursue the same course. Indeed it might be said more particularly to become them, as re- siding iu the county where tire Illustrious Pair had takeu up their residence. In doing this, it became them to act with circumspection, and to adopt such a course of expressing their condo- lence as would not wound tbe Illustrious Family whose situation was now so much to be deplored. An Address, in the usual aud formal manner which was customary, might have this effect : his proposition would therefore be to adopt an Address couched in short, but sufficiently ex- pressive terms, which should be transmitted to a confidential person about the Royal Parties, in the most private manner, with a notification that no answer was expected. The Hon. Gent, then read au Address of this nature to the Prince Regent; which, after being seconded by Mr. D. Smith, was uuanimously received and adopted Mr. Freemantle rose to propose the Address of Condolence to Prince Leopold. He said, that the only difficulty on the present occasion was how to express their concurrence in the uni- versal feeling of deep regret which pervaded the country at the late melancholy event. It was their painful duty to inform Prince Leopold that they participated in his grief; at the same lime they should be cautious not to renew the bitter feelings, which, for the last fortnight, overwhelmed the country. They could not re- frain from the exercise of this duty towards his Serene Highness, for his uniformly irreproacha- ble conduct during his residence in this country ( Hear, hear, hear !)— It was but a very few years since that Illustrious Personage arrived among us with a crowd of distinguished foreign ers, who paid this country the compliment of a visit iu return for the noble stand it made in the interest with which '.- hey were identified Among this crowd the late Illustrious Princess found his Serene Highness, and selected him as the dearest object of her regard. What had since passed fully shewed Ihe just discernment of her Royal Highness, and justified the pro- priety of her choice. ( Hear, hear!) Tlie selec- tion was as creditable to her head as to her heart. It met, at the time, the general good opinion of the country at large, which now records iter pre- mature fate by the anguish of its lamentation. His Serene Highness sought, like his amiable aud illustrious wife, happiness in the bosom of domestic enjoyment, where he found it. lie avoided party or politics, and in this obeyed the injunctions of her who is now no more ; aud shewed a spirit congenial with the soundest and most suitable policy. The Prince Leo- pold doubtless had two objects in view; one, to consult the means of ingratiating himself with the people of the couhtry, among whom he so recently came; the other the means of rewarding, hy his constant and domestic attentions, the lady who had, iu so high a manner, distinguished him by her sincere affection. He had done both. He had main tained his dignity in the country with suitable splendour, and had consulted the feelings of his eminently virtuous wife by a retired course of life, which yet brought within his sphere nume- rous occasions, as they in the county knew, of shewing generosity and munificence. ( Hear, hear.) He had shewn a fine example of con- jugal affection, a feeling that the object of his attachment most fondly repaid. He could not here forbear mentioning, as a proof of the much- lamented Princess's attachment, an expres- sion which he believed was the last that passed from her lips: after for hours enduring the pains of a protracted labour, and when the still- born child was taken from the room she anxiously and earnestly inquired after the state aud situation of the infant. The physicians, with a candour and good sense that ought to remove from them the hasty opinions which a part of the public had taken up, at once declared the fact of the child's being born without life. Herltoyal Highness feelingly exclaimed, " / regret extremely this circum- stance— I feel it as a mother naturally should; I feel it also for the people of the cuuntry ; but above all, Oil feel it for my husband. Tell it to him with caution and tenderness, and at the same time be sure, to tell him from me that ! am the happiest wife in England." What did not such a woman deserve] ( Great Applause.)— The Prince, the husband of this illustrious wo- man, felt the melancholy termination of bis hopes as became a man who knew the worth of what he had lost. The country saw and knew this, and must therefore cherish that good and honest feeling. Could that great woman from her tomb learn the passing events of the days she was not permitted to see, how consolatory would be her feelings at witnessing the grief of such a husband and such a nation. This was a subject too painful to dwell upon. He must therefore pass to his motion. The Hon. Gent then read the Address to Prince Leopold, which, like that to the Prince, was brief and expressive. The Address was unanimously adopted, and a vote of thanks being decreed to the Sheriflj the meeting was dissolved. AGRICULTURAL REPORT. The late fine weather through nearly the whole of tiie last month has peculiarly favoured the Wheat seed- time; never were greater breadths of Wheat sown, or in a more husbandman- like manner, or with a greater promise of 4 good crop: the early sown shews a strong and healthful plant, whose flag will give a good cover to the roots to shelter them from the wirtter frost.— Barley does not turn out of the straw of so fine a quality as might have been expected from the fineness of the har- vest. The defect is obviously owing to the ciop being of two growths from the unkind weather of last spring. All the soiling tribes are a forward and promising crop, and the open dry weather has kept the cattle from the straw- yard. Turnips are a very large and procuctive crop, as well as every spccics of the Brassica. FASHIONS FOR DECEMBER. EVENING DRESS.— A black crape frock over a black sarsnct slip. The skirt of the frock is finished by full flounces of the fashionable chevaux de frise trimming Tbe body, which is cut very low round the bust, is ele- gantly decorated with jet beads. Short full sleeve, or- namented to correspond with the body. The lnir is much parted in front, so as to display tbe forehead, and dressed lightly at each side of the face; the bind hair is drawn up quite tight behind. Head- dress a jet comb, to the back of which is affixed a novel and elegant mourning ornament; and a long black crape veil placed at the back of the head, which falls in loose foldsround the figure, and partially shades the neck. Ear- rings, necklace, and cross ofjet. Black shamoy gloves, and black slippers. WALKING DRESS.— A high dress composed of boni- bazeen , the bottom of the skirt is ornamented with black crape, disposed in a very novel style. The body, which is made tight to the shape, wraps across to the iglit side; it is adorned in a very novel style with pipings of black crape disposed like braiding, and finished by rosettes of crape, in the centre of each of which is a small jet ornament. Longsleeve, tastefully finished at the wrist to correspond with the body, and surmounted by a half sleeve, of a new form trimmed with crape. A high standing collar partially displays a mourning ruff, Claremont bonnet, so called because it is the same shape as the one recently worn by tbe Princess: it is composed of black erape over black sarsnet, and is lined with double white crape. The crown is rather low, the front large, and of a very be coming shape.; it is tastefully finished by black crape and ornamented by a bunch of crape flowers placed to one side. Blaek shamoy gloves and black shoes. Young Ashford, it seems, has been denizened, which, it is said exempts him from Abraham Thornton's plea of Wager of Battle. Derby Convicts.-— On Saturday afternoon, ten of those men were brought to Newgate from Derby, all heavily ironed, the following is a list of their names and ages:— G. Weightman, 21; T- Bacon, 63, and J. Bacon, 52 ( brothers); J. Turner, 20; J. Hill, 28; J. Godbern 53 , G. Brassingdon, 3l; T. Betterson, 34, G. Buxton 29; and J. M'Kisswick, 37.— They appeared all work- ing men, and lamented the unhappy situation in which they are all placed, declaring that none of them were • ever in a prison previous to their conviction for this offence ; they are all placed together in a large room, which was thoroughly clean and comfortable with a good fire, and they seemed quite reconciled to their fate. In a day or two, they will be removed to Chatham, and from thence to Sheerness, where they will receive their final destination. Weightman is a very powerful man, standing six feet high; he solicited permission for himself and fellow prisoners to have a pint of porter each, which was immediately granted, aud every com- fort was allowed which the nature of their situation would permit. MAIDSTONE, Dec. 2. HOP INTELLIGENCE. Southwark, December 1, 1817. We have had a very dull sale for Hops during the last week. We cannot correctly quote you tbe prices as there is 20s. to 30s, per cwt. difference in the various opinions respecting them, but we suppose tbey may be stated as under :— Kent Bags ,£ 21 to £ 28 10s.— A few lots £ 29. Ditto Pockets £ 2i to £ 20 and £ 30. Sussex Bags. .,£ 22 to ,£ 25. Ditto Pockets ,£ 23 to £ 29. There is a report to- day that the Duty is upwards of £ 75,000, but it is not generally believed. A Memorial, signed by a large number of the most respectable hop planters in Kent,- is about to be pre- sented to the Lords of the Treasury, in consequence of a rumour of an intended application to their Lordships on tbe part of the brewers, to allow the importation of foreign bops on low duties. The Memorial states, that on the average of the last five years, tbe produce and price have been insufficient to remunerate the planters for theirexper. ces; and it was not till the Midsummer of the present year, when the stock in hand was pearly exhausted, and the growing crop much injured by blight, that an advance in price took place; and this benefited those only who made thearlicle one of specu- lation. A great proportion of the growth of this year is also similarly circumstanced, the extraordinary high pi ices having been obtained after nearly the whole of their crops had been sold by most of the planters. The Memorial therefore prays, that as the cultivation of hops employs a large capital as well as many of the labouring poor during the winter season, no such encouragement will be held out to the foreign planters, by a diminution of the duty on importation, as shall induce them to ex- tend their plantations, in tbe hope of introducing their produce into this country, to the future discouragement of our own growth, and to tbe consequent injury ofthe revenue, On Tuesday last was committed to Westgate Gaol by the Mayor of Canterbury, George Smith, charged with having obtained sundry goods, under false picten- ces, from Mr. John Budden and Mr. John Neame nd on Thursday were committed to Augustine's gaol, George Yelding, Wm. Sanders, and James Revell, barged with having on the 25th or 26th instant, feloni ously stolen from out of the parish of Starry, a mare, the property of Rice Jones and David Roberts. The schooner Mary Ann, in thirteen days from Fayal, arrived on Thursday in the Downs. The Master re- ports that in the course of the voyage he fell in with the American brig Gossamer, of eight guns, from Leghorn, bound to Boston, having on board Lucien Buonaparte aud suite. The Russian squadron, consisting of five sail of tbe line, and two frigates, arrived off the Galloper, on the 25th ult. under Vice Admiral Moler, in IS days, from Gottenbnrgb. One of the frigates ( the Patrikea) ar- rived in the Downs on Wednesday evening, and sailed again on Thursday morning, with six pilots, to join the squadron and conduct it to Portsmouth. These ships are destined to Cadiz. At the final close ofthe poll on Friday se'nnight, for Minister of tbe Parish of St. Mary the Virgin, Dover, the numbers were for the Rev. John Maule..'. 511 —— Stephen Langston 297 • Robert Crosby 41 Majority in favour of Mr. Maule.. 214 After an unusual contest to fill the office of Jurat of the Town and Port of Sandwich, vacant by thedecease ofthe late Richard Emmerson, esq. the poll terminated on Tuesday last, most decidedly in favour of Mr. Charles Emmerson: the numbers being For Mr. Charles Emmerson 188 Mr. Edward Slaughter 120 Majority 68 Execution.— At ten o'clock on Thursday morning, James Johnson and George Williams, the unfortunate men convicted at the last Dover Sessions, of uttering forged notes of tbe Margate Bank, and for the remis- sion of whose sentence every endeavour had been fruit- less, were conveyed from the gaol in a coach, accom- panied by the Rev. J Maule, to the place of execution, the centre of two cross roads, near the Black Horse public- house, at tbe entrance of the town, where the gallows was erected for tbe purpose. They were at- tended by the Mayor and other Officers ( f tbe Peace, and both appeared very devout and prayed fervently with the Clergyman ( whose attention to them was un- remitting) till a quarter before eleven o'clock, when they were launched into eternity, at which momenta general groan escaped the surrounding multitude, which was immense, the number being estimated at not less than five thousand persons. After hanging the usual time, their bodies were cut down and put into coffins, which had been brought With them in a waggon, and conveyed to tbe church for interment.— These men attempted to break out of the gaol a few nights since. They had sawed off tlieir irons and filed their window bars asunder, and cut tbe blankets and formed them into the shape of a rope, and would have certainly effected their escape had they not fortunately been overheard by Mr. Mate, the keeper. On Sunday se'nnight at River, near Dover, John At- kins, a lad who was at plough, was killed by the plough being driven over him. The sad accident is supposed to have been occasioned by the man who was at work with him being in a state of intoxication. There will be four eclipses in the course of the en- suing year, three of which will be visible, viz. one of tbe Moon at midnight, on the 20th April; one of ihe Sun Oil the morning of the 5th of May, and another of •. he Moon in the morning of the 14th of October.

The following trait of respect to otir lamented Prin- cess is too creditable to a very humble class of men, not to merit some notice :— The passage- boats, which ply between Gravesend and London, have all been put into naval mourning; a grey streak of paint all round. " We wished toshew respect in our boats if we could not in our clothes, was the remark of one of the owners. On Monday evening, tbe 10th ult. about half- past Seven o'clock, as Mr. Walker, of Rochester, was fishing for smelts, in that part of tbe Medway, called Temple Reach, at the back of Boley Hill, on landing his net he drew on shore the body of a man, who had not been apparently many hours in the water. He was dressed in a blue coat, striped waistcoat, grey breeches, and brown gaiters, with. nothing in bis pocket but a tailor's thimble— it is therefore conjectured that he was of that business. He was totally unknown: he had a deep cut over his right eye. Tuesday evening an inquest was held on the body, and a verdict of Found Drowned was returned. HYTHE PRIZE SHEEP SHEW.— An unusual number of sheep was exhibited at the annual shew on Thursday, which was attended by most of the principal Graziers of Romney Marsh, and the neighbourhood. It was considered to be the finest exhibition, both as it regards symmetry and intrinsic value, that has hitherto taken place at Hythe, and we are happy to hear that the sub- scription is this year very liberal. It excites feelings of the warmest gratitude to Providence when we witness the unequalled productions of our highly favoured country ; and tbe more so, when we reflect that the fine animals shewn oil this occasion have, for the most part, been nourished and fatted on pastures rescued from tbe sea by the perseveranceand labour of our forefathers The mound of earth, & c, thrown up at Hythe, up- wards of 40 years since, on which was originally a bat- tery of three guns, is now removing by order of the Board of Ordnance and affords a very agreeable open- ing to the sea, from the Library. The earth is very judiciously applied to filling up some of tbe pools of water, and to covering the beach in the immediate vi cinity of the towers aud forts in the neighbourhood. DISTRESSING CATASTROPHE,— Ramsgate, Nov. 28.— A very distressing and melancholy occurrence happened in this neighbourhood early yesterday morning. A Ser- jeant, corporal, and three private marines, stationed at this place, for the prevention of smuggling, were out on duty, during the night, and having proceeded upon the sands to a place called Dumpton- stair- gateway, between this place and Broadstairs, they, for the purpose of shel- ter, and tbe more effectually to secret themselves, took upa position under a projection of the cliff, where they remained until day break, when the serjeant ordered one of the privates to call in a party, who were station- ed on the opposite side of tbe gateway, nearer to Broad- stairs. The man had gone but a few paces, when an immense portion of the cliff gave way, and buried in its fall his four hapless companions. The fall was so sud- den that it struck his musket from bis shoulder, and he fortunately escaped, though in a very terrified state of mind, to give an alarm of the fate of his unhappy com- rades. Immediately on its being known, Mr. D. B. Jarman, an active inhabitant of this town, accompanied by Mr. N. Gott, and a gang of men from the works at the harbour, proceeded with a laudable alacrity to the spot, and commenced cutting a trench through the mid- dle of the chalk, and after two or three hours laborious exertion, they found the serjeant and corporal extended on their faces, and presenting a most shocking spectacle. In the course of a few hours more the two privates were found as having been in a sitting posture, but with their heads forced betwixt their legs, and crushed in a most dreadful manner. The bodies, as taken out, were placed in a boat, and conveyed to Broadstairs, preparatory to the coroner's inquest, the accident having happened within the limits of the parish of St. Peter. Murder.— Accounts reached town on Saturday of a murder having been committed on Wednesday last off Beachy Head, on board a Danish vessel. The following are. extracts of letters on the subject, dated on Friday. First Extract.—" Arrived yesterday the Danish brig Esperanee, late Captain Jens Nielson Holst, from Hamburgh, bound to Messina, and remains. On the 26th instant, when off Beachy Head, the crew hove the master and chief mate over board. The vessel is now in charge of Deal boatmen." Second Extract.—" The Danish brig Esperance, of Flinsburg, from Hamburgh to Messina, in ballast, late Captain Jens Neilson Holst, was brought in here by a Deal boat, the crew having murdered the captain and mate on the 26Hi instant off Beachy Head, and thrown them overboard." From another letter we learn that the mate was tbe captain's son. The mutineers only spared the life of the second mate on condition of his taking an oath never lo divulge their criminality, and to take the vessel to the Dutch coast, where it was their intention to run her on shore, strip her of every thing valuable, and to abandon her. The instant the Deal boat went along side the second mate jumped on board, begged of the crew to save his life, and related the whole transaction. The boatmen conducted the vessel, without resistance, into the Downs; and all but the second mate were put on board the Severn frigate. CORN- EXCHANGE, MONDAY. DEC. 1, 1817. Our supply of Wheat for this day's market was but moderate, and superfine samples met a ready sale at last Monday's prices, and in some cases even better terms were obtained, but inferior parcels gooff heavi'v. — Barley fully maintains last week's currency, and primeMaltsells on much the same terms, butforinfetkr there is scarce any sale.— Beans will scarely support our last quotation; and Maple Pease are about Is. p? r quarter cheaper.— The Oat trade is full as dear for prime qualities; all other kinds are rathe: dearer.— In other articles we have no alteration to notice.

TUMULT AT BRIGHTON. Court of King's Bench, Nov. 28.-- J. Day, a private in the 21st regiment, J. White, a constable, and J. Wil- liams, high constable of Brighton, were brought up from Horsham gaol, to which place they had been committed by the coroner's warrant, on a charge of the wilful mur- der of T. Rolles, at Brighton, on the 5th inst. in order to their being bailed. Tbe depositions taken before the coroner were read, together with thirty- six long affidavits, many of which were strongly in favour of the prisoners. The Court, after hearing them, decided that tbe defendants should be admitted to bail. This was accordingly done; White and Williams on their own recognizance of £ 100. each, and Day, himself in „£ 80. and four sureties in £ 20. each. Mr. Scarlett stated, that on the first day of next Term he should apply for a criminal information against the proprietors of a Brighton newspaper, for certain state- ments published by them, of what passed at the coro- ner's inquest on the body qf the late Mr. Rolles, which was calculated to prejudice the public mind against the unfortunate men who had just been admitted to bail. Lord Ellenborough said if the charge was substan- tiated, tbe Court would not visit it lightly. The pub- lishers of newspapers should know that these sort of publications, tending to irritate the public mind against individuals about to be put upon their trial, could not be tolerated under any circumstances. Extraordinary Shot— Last Tuesday a pike, measuring three feet and an inch, from eye to fork, and weighing twenty- six pounds, was shot by Mr. Mantell, of Lewis, near Landport, in a sewer branching from the Ouse river, whither he had followed the tide in pursuit of his prey. Some difficulty was experienced in getting him out of the water, as the wound inflicted by the gnn had only disabled him. He was afterwards seen by at least an hundred persons, and admired by them all for bis size and excellence. A fish of this description is but rarely met with in the Ouse, it was sent as a pre- sent to the Earl of Chichester.
