The Pindarees, who have so been the annoyance of our Indian possessions, ow utterly annihilated as a power, and many of Chiefs are content to accept of lands from the h Government as their only means of subsis t. The PEISIIWA, as we stated yesterday, is now uly one of the native chieftains in the field ; but, ton all sides, the hand of fate is upon him. ,Dutch Mail has brought us this forenoon Papers :e 19th August. The following are extracts ANTWERP, AUGUST Is. Iheday before yesterday 400 soldiers, in the ser eof the Netherlands, but by birth Prussian sub- Is, were assembled, who are going to return to' es own country. Prussia sends back all the Nether and a column is already on its march home. WARSAW, AUGUSTS. On thetd July we had a storm here, such as we or rat expetenced for some years. It was ssr-coiM anie,i with hail, the size of a hazel-nut. In the suburb [hags the lightning killed three soldiers of the gaud, and wounded five others. A barn and sable were set en fire by the lightning, and other *jags damaged. The harvest has been begun about a week, and is *favoured by the warm weather. COPENHAGEN, AUGUST 8. 'leak -mints of the Harvest in Laland are not. VOgrabli4 and old people are afraid that the crop sonne t corn will be worse than any they have for these twenty years. Zulatta, on the contrary, there is on the whole lore reason to be satisfied with the harvest. TYROL, AUGUST 6. this country we remark, in several places, an att.. ,-, rdinary increase of the Glaciers. A mass of 'Ctt r l :a.ch advanced from the Suidncr Valley, had caled from the 6th of May to the 30th of July, 'tat is. in 73 days, 76 fathoms. In many parts of nri:zedard the same remark is made ; where, only gmetzioa lack, there was fertile Alpine pasture Li:ere is now eternal ids and she line of snow seems in the course of time to descend lower and lower froth the surhinitis of the m) Ehe plains and villages. • • - FRANKPOItT, AVtlVsllrr• Preparations are already *king kt - firlideh to celebrate the Fete of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the King's Accession. Several august personages are expected to visit Dresden at that time, and it is hoped that consequences will ensue very advantageous to the Saxons, and even to all Germans. It is stated that the Hanoverian Minister at Berlin has concluded a convention with Prussia, for the march of the Prussian troops through the Duchy of Brunswick. THE Q UEEN. Her MAJESTY continues gradually improving in health. For these last two or three days she has walked from the foot of the stairs to the garden chair, with very little assistance; and, as her .M.satsry still expresses the most ardent desire to be at Windsor, it is expected that the journey will be attempted in a few days, provided no relapse takes place. THE SPINNERS. n ... The accounts from Manchester are rather of a fa vourable nature: the vigilance and spirit, but at the same time laudable moderation of the Magistrates, have prepared the way, it is to be hoped, for a happy result. The agitators. have become alarmed, and are now more cautious in their'instigations. The poor men who have been deluded by their artful incite• ments and inflammatory harangues, begin to feel' the miseries• from want of employment, and the ap prehensions of increasing privations : they are now gradually returning to their duty.

Lord CASTLEREAGH is expected to set off in the first week of September, to attend the Congress at Aix-la-Chapelle. - It was a mistake to say that Mr. ELLIs accom panies Lord CASTLEREAGH to Aix-la-Chapelle. The fact is, he goes to the Cape of Good Hope, as Secre tary to Lord CHARLES SOMERSET. The Marchioness of HASTINGS, so far from being on her passage to Calcutta, is literally living a soli tary life in the neighbourhood of Cheltenham. The Earl and Countess CRAVEN and family left their house in Charles-street, Berkeley-square, yester day morning, for their seat, Hampstead Lodge, Berks.

ENGLISII OPERA.--The new pleasant Opera of Jealous on all Sides, was repeated last night with in finite applause, and, as we have already observed, pre mises to be a favourite of the Public. The House overflowed with elegant and fashionable company. DREADFUL FIRE AT CONSTANTINOPLE.—In the night of the 7th ultimo, a fire broke out within the l gate of Odan ICapussa, which destroyed near three hundred houses and a small mosque. It was the more destructive, as it caught the magazine of a dealer in powder and fire-works, Which caused a ter rible explosion, and by which near one hundred per sons miserably perished, and many *ere much in jured. The house of the Mufti, which is dear the lapot, would certainly have been destroyed, had not. the Sultan in person gone to the place, and by en couraging the firemen, many of whom lost their lives by their exertions, and three times averted the threa tening danger. The fire broke out in the house of a pastry cook, and though there was no wind, spread with incredible rapidity. BeNArAnre.—The Public will be pleased to learn that the translation of the Private Anecdotes of the Court and Family of Napoleon has at length appeared. It has been justly observed of BONAPARTE, that the MAN is less known than the HERO, and all that has hitherto been published concerning his domestic life in some measure partakes of the nature of Romance. The majority of those who have written en NAPO- LaoN scarcely know him by sight, they have judged him by his public actions, they have merely sketched the chief individual of the state, and have frequently ken of him as the Abbe de Vertot spoke of the spoken of him as the Abbe de Vertot spoke ot the Siege of Malta • but it is evident that the Author -a this Work resided in NArotzoa's Palace, accompa nied the Court in its journies, and was in fact an ac tual witness of the private and domestic life of- the Ex-Emperor, and being on an intimate footing with all the individuals of the Court, has been able to col lect information of the most curious nature. The sale of the original, we understand, has been strictly poi hibited in.

We regret to state, that the last arrivals from the Mauritius represent the losses sustained by the Mer chants at that Colony, from the last hurricane, as extremely severe. In consequenie of the vessels being lost in the port, before the policies of insurance too); effect, the individual injury has been conside rably aggravated. This calamity, so speedily after the dreadful conflagration of Port Louis, combined With strong dissentions in the Civil Administration of the Government, has imparted a general gloom and despondency. At the commencement of the herring fishing, in Caithness, this season, twelve barrels were sent trom Thurso to Leith, from whence they were exported to Ilamburgh, where they were sold for One Hundred and Forty-four Guineas. A single herring sold at the extraordinary price of 2s. Bd. The herring fishing at Wick, which, in its early stage promised such unfavourable results, assumed a favourable turn on Tuesday sennight, when the boats brought in eight crans on an average. On the Wed nesday they averaged fourteen crans, and on the Thursday about twenty crans per boat, being one of the largest fishings that has been made for these several years. Another seizure has been made in Newry, of poi sonous Imitation Tea. This is cutting at the root of that nefarious traffic, which the Irish Commissioners of Customs are doing their utmost to put down. Monday se'nnight a respectable and wealthy far mer was committed to Carlow county jail, charged with conspiring to murder a Magistrate of the county; his arrest was effected by a detachment of the 27th regiment, quartered at'Carlow, accompanied by the Rev. JAMES. MAGRATII, WALTER. BLACKNEY, and ltonsttx JACKSON, Esqrs. Magistrates. The Sligo Journal asserts that a man, of the name of Sheridan, had his skull beaten almost to pieces by some villains, who afterwards flung him'into a bog hole, from which he was taken out lifeless, but some time after was sufficiently recovered to tell by whom he was murdered ! ~it is ascertained that the Ecclesiastical Congress of Frankfort has completed the Project fur organizing the Catholic Churches of the different States, whose Sovereigns took part in the conferences. There is hereafter to be one Archbhhoprick for 800,000 Ca tholic inhabitants, and one Bishoprick for 300,000. The revenue of the former will be fixed at 20,000 florins, independently of a palace ; and that of the latter at from ten to 12,000 florins. The stipend of the Canons is to be 1800 florins, with convenient apartments. There will be established one Bishop for the kingdom of Wirtemburg only, and another for the Grand Duchy of Baden. Letters from Kentucky (America) furnish details on the state of the Missions of that country. Upon the river St. Lawrence, near the Lake Huron, 500 0 French have no more than one Priest. At Vincennes, on the river Werbash, which falls into the Ohio, about 1000 French have no Priest whatever. In the State of. Ohio, there are 200 German Catholic families. M. Flagel, as Bishop of Bardstown, has recently exercised his spiritual administration. k.David, Grand Vicar of M. Flagel, has been nominated his Coadjutor; Bishop of Muricastre in These Prelates are now employed in the construction of a Cathedral at Bardstown. They have established two Convents of different Orders, end they wish to form a new Com ratay.i Os , tamed Brother.; ?f the Chrirtion Ss Tools. CORONER'S iNQUESD, This day an Inquest was held at the sign of the Blue Posts, Holborn, before Mr. SIiaLTON, on the bodies of the infant son of Mr. Itwen, and also that or the daughter . of Mr. Squires, both respectable in habitants of Furnivars ,Inn•cotirt, Holborn, whose deaths were unfortunately oceasinued by the falling of the wall of Furnival's lan, as mentioned in yester., day's Seen. jt appeared that the children were in the cqurt, assik that a large quantity of gravel had been dug , out of Furnival's Inn garden, and was thrown against the wall, which was not of rufcient strength to sustain the weight, when it give way and caused the lamentable catastrophe. No circumstances, how ever, being elicited to thew it was any thing else than the result of Accident; the Jury returned a *erdict accordingly. DREADFUL EXPLatIOZA At half-past Ern o'clock yesterday afternoon, the inhabitants bet - wens the Obelisk, St. Geotge's-fieldt, and the Asylum, went thrown into great consterna. , don by a terrific explosion, occasioned by the ignition of a large quantity of gunpOwtier and detonaemg combustibles, compounded, into fire-works, as we are informed, for Vauxhall Gardens. The explosion hap =in a large work-shop, situate at the end of -place, used by Mr. IVIORTnAbff, artist in fire • works. The first alarm was produced by a most vio lent shock, which shattered the glass in the houses contiguous. Afew seconds after this, a boy and three men came out torn and blackened by the explosion in a shocking manner. They were taken instantly to the Hospital. A second explosion blew off the roof, and a scene was presented to the astonished specta ton beyond description. Rockets, saltpetre, and a variety of fire-works, continued blazing and bunting in a most surprising manner. The wood-work'of the building was in flames, and the dread of being shot or injured by rockets, which darted horizontally, kept the spectators a considerable distance from the burn ing pile. Amidst the distress of the scene, an unfot' tunate monkey exhibited peculiar misery. The ani mal had been secured to the roof by a chain, and he was seen struggling to escape from the approaching flamef, until the timber on which he stood being burnt, poor Pug fell into the devouring element. — The shed was detached fortunately trom the row of houses iii Mead-place. It projected a considerable distance towards the road, and we are happy to add, that the damages, with the exception of broken glass, was confined to the shed, which was burnt to the ground. The report made by the explosion %vas heard a long way from the spot. The houses in the neighbourhood were shaken, and thousands of per sons ran with terror in their looks to ascertain the cause of the shock. The tonflagration was suffered to burn out, as no person could venture to go near ate shed. The fire-works, of which there was a large quantity in a chest, kept up a continued discharge. Wednesday afternoon, as come young men were • playing at cricket on Kennington Common, a yeting man, of the name of Alexander Armstrong, had the misfortune to have one of his eyes struck out. This morning, as William Johnson, of Wallworth, was coming ashore with some oysters at Billingsgate his foot slipt, and he fell into the dock: he was taken up immediately,• but had the misfortune to break sane of his legs, just above the ancle. . Wednesday evening last a fine boy, about nine years ad, son to Mr. Butcher, of Kidney -street, Lime house, repaired with sevcralof his Companions, to bathe in the River Thames, but he unfortunately went out of his depth, and was drowned, althotief every assistance was affotded. He was got cat the same night, and taken home to his distracted parents. The Ipswich Humane Society have voted a silver medal to Master Edward Acton, aged IS, for having preserved the life of Jonathan Archer, a boy eight years old, on the 20th of July last, who must other wise inevitably have been drowned. The inscription upon•the medal is as follows :—" The reward of feel ings possessed by a youth, more alive to the danger of others than of himself." Yesterday a poor man of the name of Winter, in the employ of a chemist, at Bow, by some accide,:t .fell into a copper of boiling verdigris, and was so dreadfully burnt that he was conveyed to the Londca Hospital with little hope of recovery. Sunday a poor man, a labourer, named Luke Rooney, in the employment of Mr. Monk, of Hunts town, near Fiuglas, suffered most severely by an at-• tack from a vicious horse of Mr. Monk's :—The poar man went into a field early in the morning, when he was attacked by the infuriate animal. He was taken to the County of Dublin Infirmary, but withouthope . of recovery. Friday se'nnight as Mr. Geoige Finlayson, far- • mer, Ballcathie, near Arbroath, accompanied by a young lad,, of the name of Alexander Smart, were leaving a pleasure boat in a very small skiff, they were upset nearly opposite the Bridge of Elliot, when they sunk in about fourteen feet of water; and' both perished. The bodies were found on the day following. Wednesday sennight five persons were hurt by the explosion in a smithy at the Grange Toll, near Etin burgh, three of whom are still dangerously ill. Monday a young man, a butcher in Edinhurt, while hanging up a piece of meat on his stall, fell down dead. Surgical aid was immediately got, and a vein was opened, but without et'ect. SABBATIP•LREAKING—Sunday a man broke his leg in leaping a dyke at the Port-Dandas Itor.l, and was taken to the Royal Inthmary. Glasgow. He had laid a wager that he would clear the dyke, which he did,' but met with the misfortune. A variety of fields of wheat, oats, and barley, have been cut in the counties of Ayr , Renfrew, Dum barton, and Dumfries, and harvest promised to be general in a fortnight, which is about a month ear lier than last year. CORN-EXCIIANGE,MARIC..LANP, AVCIIST 21.—Fite English Wheat being scarce and in demand, sold full 2s. per quarter higher than on Monday, and then was also free sale for the best qualities of Foreign, but the inferior descriptions continue dull sale, at Monday's prices. Fine fresh Barley is more enquired after, and 2s. per quarter dearer. Oats were heavy sale, but not cheaper than on Monday. Peas zed Boars being scarce, are 2s. per quarter highs F ' ' 4 .. • . ' 4 .
