BREAn.—There was no Court of Aldermen this lan : The Loun MAYOR, after inspecting the returns of the Baker's Company and Meal-weighers, ordered it to remain at its present price. Peckham Fair opened with a great stock yesterday, but the weather was not by any means inviting. The nimble-fingered gentlemen were very expert, and one d. cent man was robbed of 9 1 . at an early hour, inde dendent of the smaller ones. Thursday last was played, at the Ivy House, Hoz . ton, a game of Dutch pins, between Mr. MURFEL and Mr. J. HexLEY, for 100 guineas, in 100 rub bers ; they began at ten in the morning, and ended at ten at night ; Mr. MURFEL was the winner by twelve rubbers. The contest was viewed by a nu rmrous body of spectators who betted on the occasion. Friday last, a Hackney Coachman was cenvicted before Joux NA RES Esq. at the Public Offce, in Bow street, in tbe penalty of 20s. for endeavouring to extort more than his fare, and using insulting language to his employer. Last Friday, as two lads were amusing themselves with firing off a child's brass cannon, near the sign of the General Townshend, in Oxford -street, a shot en tered the body of one of them, the , :on of a publican in Adam -street, by which he was wounded so shock ingly, that his life is despaired of. Tuesday John Ware, a lighterman, having de livered ballast on board the Ellison Greenland ship, at Hull, in ascending the side, one of the whale jaw -bones, which they were in the act of delivering from the deck, fell upon his head, and bruised him so severely., that he only survived half an hour. Friday se'nnight, during a violent thunder -storm, Peter M'Coul, a man about 70, was thrown from his cart, while passing through Bridgend, Perth, and was so severely hurt, that he died in about an hour after. The horse had been frightened by the thunder, and, by a sudden plunge, jerked the unfortunate driver from his seat, who fell on his face, and the wheel went over his head. His daughter, who was also in the cart, leapt out, and endeavoured to seize the horse by the bridle ; but, in doing so, was thrown down by a violent blow from one of the poles, and afterwards miserably bruised under the cart, which, being at that moment overturned, fell upon her body. She lies at present without hopes of recovery. During a violent storm, on Thurday se'nnight, an ash tree of four feet in diameter, which stood in Crox ton Park, near Belvoir Castle, was stricken by the lightning in a most extraordinary manner ; all its arms were forced off awd scattered round its base ; upwards of twenty feet of the top of the trunk was hurled over the park wall, and stood upright on the ground ; a principal part was torn into pieces like laths, but they were not detached from each other ; •and the heart of the tree, which was very tough, was shivered in the like manner. The more brittle parts were scattered in all directions, some to the distance of 70 yards. About 12 or 14 feet of the bottom of the trunk is left standing, in the form of a cone, very much shaken and rent, in some places, from its top down to the root. The severe tempest which was experienced at aid thout Stamford on Thursday night the loth, did not, that we learn, do any material damage in the neigh bourhood. In the north-eastern part of Lincolnshire, however, in which direction it passed from this part of the country, much damage was done by the lightning. —At Grimsby, a cottage, and some other small buildings, were set on fire about midnight, and en tirely consumed. A most melancholy accident happened at Norton, near LrAdon, during a severe thunder-storm on Fri day evening, the 11th instant. Mr. BESFORD, farmer, and three of Isis haymakers, to shelter themselves from the effects of the storm, laid themselves down on the top of a load of marsh hay, in a boat, and covered themselves over with a sail-cloth. In this situation, the violence of the storm upset the boat, and they were precipitated with the hay into the river, enveloped in the sail-cloth, ar.d before they could be citricated, they were all unhappily drowned. CHINESE CHOP. Tianslation of the Chop*, which the Isontoc of Canton addressed to the senior Commander, Cap tains, officers, petty officers, and others, belonging to the English ships at the Port of Whampoa, and which was delivered to the said senior Commander, Captain Miliken Craig, of the Elphinstone, by the Mandarins deputed by the Isontoc; under a canopy of state, surrounded by Chinese Guards, under arms, erected for the occasion, on French Island, on the side df a hill, having a Chinese camp on each side, on hills, each about one mile distant, and all in view from the van ships of the Honourable Company's fleet, moored in line of battle, within gun-shot of the camps. Other camps were also in sight from the fleet, on the hills of more distant islands. Each camp was attended by a regular establishment of long covered boats, for transporting the troops, with their tents, baggage, guns, ammunition, officers' horses, &c. &c. from one island to another, at once. The country ships were moved down the river, clear of the Com pany's ships t. I, the Mandarin Vic, by favour of my Prince, Isontoc of the two provinces of Quang-tong and Quangsi, Member of the Tribunal of War, &c. direct this letter to the Captains, Officers, passengers, and others belonging to the English ships, to warn you, that being certain that your bad kingdom is situated on an island of the sea, and that you originally em ployed yourselves in making watches, to enable you to pay your taxes ; afterwards, by the especial and profound goodness of our great Emperor, who was desirous of benefiting you, he granted you permission to come to this empire to trade. Behold what exalted and profound virtue belong to him! ! ! Notwithstand ing this, the Admiral of your kingdom, regardless of the laws, has brought here, for the first time, foreign soldiers, and without leave, introduced them into Ma coa ; and your Chief Supra-cargo uniting with him, they are, with one accord, making disturbances.— This being the case, I informed the Emperor, from whom I have just received a decree, in virtue of which I again s.:nd Mandarins deputed to inform them, that if they persist in detaining the soldiers, a great many troops shall be immediately dispatched to de stroy and extinguish them, and to terminate this af fair, for the consequences of which, the Admiral and Chief Supra Cargo will be responsible. But you Captains, Officers, passengers, and other people of the ships, shall be free from all responsibility, if you re main quietly in the observance of the laws, and after the soldiers of your nation shall be entirely with drawn, I shall feel it my duty to inform the Empe ror, praying him to have the goodness to permit you to carry on your trade as formerly. But if you, giving ear to, and obeying the Admiral and Chief Supra Cargo, unite yourselves to them to create dis turbances, when afterwards our innumerable soldiers shall arrive, who shall destroy and burn, even if you are as hard as stone or jasper ; I shall then be unable to use you with any indulgence, or to free you from the net of the law in which you will be ensnared.— And in order that you may be obedient and discreet, I direct this Chop to you. - In the 13th year of the Emperor Kia King, on the 17th day of the 10th mocn (3d December, 1808.)

TO 1115 EXCELLENCY TILE VICIF-ROY OF THE PROVINCES OF QUANG-TONG AND QUANCISI, IN THE CHINESE EMPIRE. May it please your Excellency, We, the undersigned Commanders of the Ho nourable English East-India Company's ships at Whampoa, for ourselves, our officers, and our own men, have the exalted honour to acknowledge the re. ceipt of your Excellency's most gracious letter, deli. vercd to us in French Island, on the 4th December, I SOS, by the two Mandarius, whom we are informed it was yourcondescending pleasure to send for that pur pose. Our object of visiting this country is purely for commercial purposes, to continue in the same manner that friendly and useful intercourse which has existed for centuries, and now become, from its magnitude, of the very first importance to both our vast empires. " We arc taught in our own country, that obedience to our laws is the first essential to the well-beingeof the state ; the same must apply to all countries ; and we are, therefore, ordered, and endeavour to venerate and obey yours : but such is the nature of our own laws aAd constitution, that we dare not, even in a fo reign country, depart from allegiance to our own country, nor to those who are dignified with its most exalted representation. We understand that our Admiral, who Is an officer of high rank, at the request of the Portuguese, landed some troops at Macao, to help them to defend it against attacks from the French. This wicked na• tion, ever since they murdered their Sovereign, have waged war upon all nations within their reach, and we understand, are now marching, by land, to make war upon the celestial empire, as the British navy prevents them by sea. We of course wish to have no concern with any disburbauces in the celestial empire, and we therefore most humbly implore your Excellency to order the trade to be opened, that we may find employment in the quiet habits of industry, which x%e conceive would prevent oar services being required for other pur poses, but which, if called for, our laws and our honour would compel us to obey, whatever might be the consequences. st With sentiments of the most profound venera tion and prayers for your Excellency's weifare, we beg leave to subscribe our names " M.

" In the 13th year of Kia Kin., 21st day of the 10th moon (7th December, 1808.'') [Received the 9th December, 1809.] HIGH PRICE OF COALS. lIIPMEMPIPIIPMFR to your letter, hate di TO THE EDITOR OF THE STIR. Stn—ln your Paper of Thursday last, a Corres pondent under the signature of Londinensiz, requests information as to the cause of the present extraordi nary prices of the best Coals ? In answer to this question, I have to offer the following brief statement of facts :—The Proprietors of the Collieries in the North, have for a long time past raised the prices of Coals ad libitum. This power they have used with so little discretion, that the price of the best has in. creased since the year 1796, from 16s. to n4s. per dial. dron. The last advance of 4s. per chaldron was in February, this year. The Ship-Owners in the trade, who purchase their cargoes for resale, considering this advance unjustifiable, determined to resist the de mand, and this resolution they still persevere in.— The Coal. Owners not being able to find purchasers at the advanced price, can only send to market small quantities in a few freighted ships. By this the im port is so far curtailed, that at present it is near 2J0,000 chaldrons short of the usual quantity, up to the end of this present month. The short supply is consequently the true and only cause of the high prices. A report has indeed been industriously cir culated, that it is owing to a want of ships that this necessary article of consumption does not come to market—but this is not the fact—there are mon. ships than are wanted, and plenty of Coals, which are ly ing in large heaps (in a state of deterioration from the sun and rain) that are not shipped, merely in con quence of the dispute occasioned by the advance. It is reported that measures arc taking to bring this mat. ter before the Legislature, which will dev.lope al; th?. circumstances, and lay the whole case bet; re the Public ; and it is to be hoped that a remedy will be found to prevent any imposition being forced upon the Inhabitants of this Metropolis in this necessary article of life. Should this short statement not be deemed a full and sufficient answer, it may perhaps be resumed at a future opportunity. August 19, 1809. CARBONARIUS. Saturday, a labourer, named Coles, incensed at some insult offered to him by several boys in Drury lane, gave way to such violent passion, that he burst a blood-vessel, and died within an hour. Wednesday, J. C.:ok, about 13 years age, playing upon some rails in a yard next the river, at Wincolm lee, near Hull, fell into the water and was drowned. Saturday, as Alexander Blackett, kcelman, was sitting on the edge of the Quay, at Newcastle, with a child in his arms, he was seized with a fit, fell into the river, and was drowned. He had presence of mind to throw the child from him on to the Quay. On Sunday se'nnight a woman, supposed to have been lately drowned, was found naked on the beach near Hordle Cliff, and on the following day an inqui sition was held on the body, but no evidence could be procured to enable the Jury to account for her death. It has, however, since been discovered, that two yes. sels were on the Monday preceding lying off Hurt Castle, and that six sailors, two women, and a man (not in sailor's dress), went on shore and procured some refreshment ; that one of the women (supposed to be the deceased) appeared dejected, and observed that she had been to Portsmouth to see her husband, but that he had sailed with the Expedition, and that she was then returning to her house at Plymouth.— Every exertion is making to developc this mysterious business. At a club east of Temple Bar, where puzzling questions are sothetimes introduced, the following was proposed a few evenings since What is the most that can be obtained in the least time and at the smallest expence ?" After several answers, neither of which came completely within the three points of the question, a sagacious cit replied " £BO,OOO may be gained in one moment, in the present State Lottery Scheme !" The fact is indisputable, and not un. worthy the special attention of clubs in general.
