Authentic accounts from the coast of Africa state, that the Spaniards s have transported a greater num ber of Slaves to the West Indies in three months of the present year, than in the same interval in any preceding year. Thursday the Dutch frigate Dolphin, from the Texel, bound to the coast of Africa, arrived in the Downs. She has on board 50 slaves, which are to he returned to their native home by the humane or der of the Dutch Government, after which she will proceed to the Dutch Islands in the West Indies. On her coming into the Downs, she saluted his Ma jesty's ship SEVERN N% ith 15 guns, which compliment was immediately returned from the SEVERN.

I3LitAfii.StEß, iICTOBER The fear I exprested in my last, of another 1, tifin out" among the Weavers, was not altogether grottnd less. It was, it seems, to have taken plate this day ; but from some unefplained cause, it has been de ferred ; and very happy lam that it is. I trust, hat the present opportunity will be embraced to promote a permanent good understanding between this in dnstrious and long-suffering class of men and their ' employers, so as to prevent a recurrence of those scenes which every well-wisher to good order and the peace of society must deplore. As the Overseer (the person who has the giving out of the work) at Mr. Kaye's factory, was return ing to town along the Gorton-load, near Manchester, about seven o'clock on Wednesday night, he was stopped by two footpads, who robbed him of 18s. in silver. Just as the robbers were leaving him he heard the sound of horses' feet, whereupon he sprang for ward and caught hold of one of the men, calling out, at the same time, loudly for assistance. Two men on horseback immediately came up, and assisted him in securing the robber. Reproved to be a young ' man of the name of John White, a weaver, who had hitherto borne an honest character. His accomplice, who has for the present escaped, is, it seems, a now- Timis character, named Makin, who had been under sentence of death for highway robbery ; which sen tCnce; thtongh the intercession of several respectable inhabitants of this place, had been commuted to two years' imprisonment, from whichlte had but recently been released. White has been committed to the New Bailey. He was, it seems, a master weaver, and employed Makin as a journeyman? the latter is supposed to have instigated him to the crime which has placed him in his present disgraceful situation. The division of the 80th Regiment, which arrived here yesterday, consisted of the two 'companies that had been halted at Rochdale. The remaining four companies that were marched for Hull, are expected to join the regiment at this place. There are rumours afloat, that disturbances are again apprehended among the Colliers in the North; and that a considerable force has been ordered to that quarter; but of this you will no doubt gain informa tion by a mare direct channel. The 95th Regiment, the principal part of which has been stationed in this town and neighbourhood for some time past, have been ordered to Sunderland. Those stationed here marched this morning. The annual mart for the sale of cattle, known by the name of Acres Fair, held in this town on the Ist and ed of October, 'commenced this day. There was an abundant spew of every description of cattle, and sales have been brisk to-day, at an advance in prices, owing to the abundance of green food, produced by the late genial rains. Horses, in particular, have been in great demand, and those of a good description fetched high prices—the same may b. said of cows, and horned cattle generally. Pigs, too, sold at an advanced price. Several detachments of the light-fingered gentr)? were on the alert, but through the vigilance and ac tivity of our numerous and well-appointa Police, I have not heard of any loss worth noticing, the thieves being detected in most of their attempts to ease the honest farmers of their cash. The Miners in the employ of Colonel BEAXMONT, in the western part of the County of Durham, struck for an advance of wages on Mcnday week. MARRIAGES IN BENG/A-13y an Act of Parliament passed in the last Sessions, marriages solemnized by Ministers of the Church of Scotland in the British territories in India, are made as legal, and of the same force as those solemnized by Clergymen of the Church of England ; but one or both of the persons so mar ried must previously prove that they are Members of the Church of Scotland ! ! ! Belton, near Grantham, the Seat of the Earl BROWNLOW, has been the scene of much hospitality this week, in consequence of his Lordship's marriage with the daughter. of ---- FLUYDRa ) Esq. of Ay ston, Rutlandshite. The tenantry and inhabitants ' of Syeton, 'ulbeek, Gr.unhanh&c. were most plenti fully regaled with roast &lilt', plumb pudding, Ste.' for three days. Several hogsheads of aie were. given away to the populace in the Park, and the greatest orc'er was preserved. On Monday his Lordship will give a grand Ball to the Nobility and Gentry resident in the county. This is the second time of his Lord ship's having tied the connubial knot ; his first Lady being the daughter of Sir A. Hums, who died about five years since, leaving issue three children. BROAMTA lES, OCTOBER I.—The influx of com pany is gradual and undeviating. The return of our ingrates from the Continent will probably make the season a late one. Should even that not be the case, the arrivals and departures will not be an in verse ratio till the middle of November. The las: grand Ball, at NOCKELL'S Library, was attended by Captain CLouon, as Master of the Ceremonies ; ,and about one hundred Fashionables from Margate, Ramsgate, &c. were present. Dancing commenced at ten, and ended at three o'clock. Dresses of white, either satin, silk, or muslin, cut low in the neck, and bosom pearls universal.—lt is now the fashion to rouge the cars, cheeks, elbows, and chins—pencil the lips and eyebrows. A ,ten-milliner at Margate as sured us, that the Dandies were his best customers. The secret is now out why these Belvidere Apollos' never enter a bathing-machine ! FlBE.—This morning, at one o'clock, a fire broke out at the extensive manufactory of Messrs. GLASS COTTS. and Co. brass-founders, Gardener's-street, Whitechapel, which entirely destroyed the whole of the premises, and property to the amount of WOW. Great fears were entertained for the sugar-house of Mr. SNEI nuts, but, by the continual playing of the different engines upon them, the danger was happily averted. To add to the calamity, upwards of 441 men are throws ogt of employ ,by dais,accident.. . ~ • .. e ....- • .11, '' : ' ......., • ----- '7* --- 7 -7- ' • ~ ; . • t 4 i 1 ' 1 1 i it tg • PikStO i ii Al Noll i NOttAMl . . . • ..—.4..—. • !a FURTIIER PARTICULARS RECEIVED THIS MOANiletia I 4. l .•, Monday last, at thre e o ' c lo c k in th e aft e rn o on, the toeni ol 1 .
