There seems no chance of lay thing "being dine for some time, to pit a stop to piraey. 'Our Admiral reseeves to himself the direction of every thirig, and,l fancy, has too much on 'hithatils 'just now to give his attention to matters of thislan 0 . However that may be, it is a most scanda. lossthing to see cur Beg intuited, and our trade ruined, by a set of villains, fur whois so much Is doing and so mudi endangered, without one single attempt to check the system. . My only hope is, that the Government at 'horse Shay at last see tile state into which their plans • have thrown British interests, and that orders will be given to put an end to it." RETRACT OP A LITTAR FROM CAPTAIN COCK, OP THE MOM DATED autumn, ocr. 9, 1827. ""On our passage from Alexandria in company wills the Arab, we fell in with a Greek cruiser, and he chased us for 36 hours upon a wind, until our main top gallant sail split from head to foot, and the fore gaff broke about 10 fret from the end ; it was then coming on night and a heavy sea running, and my Commodore, the Arab, parted company from me to make the bes t °Ellis way. The Greek, who had been with us all night then tacked, and stood after the Arab, who hove is sight on the other tack, telling me at the same time to follow him, but I thought it was time enough to 'answer the. Greek when he 'talked with powder and shot—so I kept my reach, and is two hours I lost 'sight of them ; four days afterwards / went into Rhodes, and waited four days for an Austrian convoy that, was bound for Smytna, but they had been there three weeks, and would not sail without a fair wind, which they were not likely to get ter a month, so I sailed by myself and got up to Smyrna the third day, but, fortunately for me, it was blowing a very thick rainy squally weather, all the way up the Arches. The Arab arrived 64 days after me, and had been plundered three times from the 'time she left me, till the time she arrived here; besides the Captain being hauled over a gun and beat, till they actually took the skin off . his back. The depredations which these pirates are committing in these seas cannot be beard, without striking terror to the heart of the !emit unfeeliag Christian. In England you do not know the half of (he transactions which these fellows are carrying on—how and in what manner I have escaped is a mystery to myself and every body."

Our LORD Amu AuutstaL seems to be giving every description of Englishmen a great deal to talk about, and to be grateful (or; and not the least, though per haps the least noticed, of these benefits, is, that perfect ration and harmony between the various branches of his Maj, sty's service, which we perceive to be the con sequence of those liberal and' patriotiC sentiments, so wisely inculcated by his Royal Highness on every fit occasion. Of the public utility to which we allude, we may take occasion to say mote in detail; at present we merely touch the subject, in accordance with the public excitement called forth by his Royal Highness's recent 'visit to Portsmouth, and to n,tice that it is not only during the Royal presence that this salutary influence, is perceived ; it is found in cordiality and good will' long alter his departure, and of which we have I most gratifying and striking instance in the dinner and dance given lately by the Staff Serjeants and Serjeants of the Royal Artillery and Engineers, to the Staff Serjeants and Serjeants of Royal Marines, and their-families, in return for the entertainment given by the latter on re ceiving their new colours. s b e . ..

For thi. sentiment, Serjeant Major Harvey, of the Royal Ma ines, expressed the pride and happiness with which he. returned the most grateful thanks, pledging him that it ai I be the glory of every Marine present, to cherish in grateful remembrance the feelings of that day so enthusiastically proclaimed. At ten o clock the ditnt her par . y were joined by about 11.0 of their wjves and daughters, when the rooms being cleared, dancing cemmenced, and was kept up with great spirit till a late hour next morning.

LYALL, E q. in the Chair. , The CHAIRMAN sta.ed, that the Meeting was con• wetted at the suggestion of the Corporation of ti e Trinity House, for the purpose of ascertaining theit opinion as to the expediency of erecting a light on S.. Catherine's Point, in the Isle of Wight; a light at the Stan or Praule Point, should the before suggested light at St. Catherine's be established ; a light near Beecby Head ; and cne or mole floating lights to be stationed in a situation near the west end of the Swin Middle, and near where the Shears Beacon ricnrostands. The CHAIRMAN said, that he had spoken to several shipowners upon the subject, and they were unanimous as to the expediency of erecting a light at Beechey Head. He suggested that the propositions be taken into consideration seriatim. Mr. Cyvt.tasvia observed. that the coal trade alone would be subject to an additional tax of 1,5001. per year, if those lights were erected. He then moved u an amendment to the first proposition, that a light on St. Catherine's Point and at the Start or Praule Point, are inexpedient And unnecessary.

The demand for sugar is comparatively brisk, and-up to yesterday afternoon the sties may be stated at 3,000 bids. but at no improvement in price. Some large arrivals from the Mastitis, are expected. At present there are no ships to be unloaded is the West India Docks. The business in B. P. samara this meeting has not been extensive at prices much the same. Inferior descriptions of Sitrbadoes cdmmand a ready sale at a slight advance, via. from 613. to 713.6 d. per cwt. In other article' of Colonial produce nothing worthy remark has occurred. &rocas continue firm at the late advance. Nutmeg obtain rea dily Si. 94. per lb. Pepper is still much neglected.

Until the East India Sale goes'off it is not anticipated that the heaviness which now pervades the market will be removed. The Sales this week have been under those of the last, and the only qualities which continue to command full prices are Egyptian and Bengal. Egyptian fine is quoted from 7id. to ed.

CAN FERBURY, Nov. 8. Tuesday morning a fi e broke out on the,preibises of Mr. G. BAn'rox, at Pund, in the palish of Bast Peck ham. It was discovered about seven o'claik, and mes sengers wets instantly sent in all directions for assistance, and an engine belonging to the Right Hoe.- Lord TOR. RINOTON, one from Tunbridge, and another from Branbtidge, were won on the spot. The Kent Fire Office engine front this city, arrived about eight o'clock, having been only 39 minutes on the road, a distance of "eleven miles. The Norwich shortly follovictlafter wards. There being plenty of water, ire enginet yeti enabled, by playing on the buildings and stacks in tee attiolsbour hood of the fire, to prevent its further esoksim. It ori ginated in a Wheat stack, from which it communicated to a quantity of peas and oats lying near, and then to a hay barn full of hay, all of which Were .entirely de stroyed. The Barnes wese partly got udder by ten o'clock, bot• were not entirely extinguished for some hours after. No intelligence can be obtained respecting the origin of the fire, which appears to be involved in mystery; and it is much feared it was the work of some incendiary, at a phosphorus box Intl matches were found on the premises. Wednesday sennight, the coast of this county was visited by an influx of sea, which threatened the meat awful consequences. The principal damage appears to have been done at Margate, at which town the bath ing machines are kept on the sands, under the new wall, and near the walk designed for the recreation of visitors; not only was the walk in question destroyed, but the site of it (a mass of chalk, the natural soil of that part of the shore) deeply indented by the attidn of the water. Several bathing machines were alsii dashed ro pieces, and the fragments scattered in every direc. don on the surface of the sea, which Loaded the promenade in front of the beautiful rose of houses at this .spot. A large collier, coal iadeo, lying opposite Wright's hotel, with its bowsprit. wend ing over the walk, knocked down a great part of the parapet wall ; a portion of the Wirer -peer was inundated; and the steam vessels prevented making their usual trip. On Thursday morning the tide again was very high. Two steamers from London were obliged to run for Ramsgate harbour in the even ing, whither they arrived.. At Ramsgate and Broad stairs the like effects were experienced ; at the former town scarcely a vestige of the pier wa; seen Irons the height of water, which, assisted by a northerly wind, presented the most awful appearance. At Here Bay the sea rose to a height of several fe t in the mar.hes, and the greatest diffizalty was experienced in prevent ill the vessels in the rang g ing ashore. At Wes-silver the spray dashed over the wall, and flooded the lead to a considerable distance. DUMFRIES, Nov. 6. Some years ago a swarm of bees which had escaped, unobserved, feces the parent hive, were observed tlus tering about Hochla ns Church ; and before measures could be taken to secure them, they disappeared. Their Queen, it seems, had been-pioneering to find a suitable place of location, and having discovered a small•cterice -in- the roof, she immediately forctd her way into the interior. There she found" room and verge" and thinkingthe place suitable in every respect, she warned her witted sebjecu 'to advance, and pitch- their waxen tents betwixt the roof and the ceilitg. This summons seas' at once obeyed by the loyal insect, and for many a week, month, and rear. they and their successots, down, perhaps, to the ninth or tenth generation, maintained undisturbed pos session of what may be called the ga ret of the Church Of Illoddam. In the spring and simmer, the cheerful horn of their ceaseless industry was heard mil•gling with the voice of psalms, and many remarks .were made on their sagacity, its reviving. as it *ere, site days of feudalism,. when vanquished clansmen found the church a sanctuary in every sense of the word, and in periods of danger assembled th'eir "kinOced within its pale,, as the only means of escaping (ram the crimil . ised Sell death that awaited them.
