Extrad of a letter from a naval officer, off Fer rol, September to :—" You have no doubt read the official letter of our expedition to Corunna, (I have juti teen it in a paper we got from an American ve(fel from London,) there has not, in the courfe of the whole war, been a bolder claffi, nor has there been (hewn on any occation more cool and determined bravery: the obflacles ap reared lain-mountable, and when the well-known firength of the place is confidered, that the packet had no fails bent, that we boarded her and the gun• boat within hail of the batteries, and were obliged to tow them for upwards of two hours, before we got clear of the tremendous fire of round and grape Ihot ; it will be thought incredible, that we had not a man killed or wounded the officers who ferved as volunteers, were, Lieutenants PI PON, fen. Daiiir, and GERRARD, (marines) of the Fi s- GARD ; Lieut. CODD, of the DIAMOND; and Lieut. Husow, of the BOADICE A. —I am, &c. &c." The Commiflioners of the Navy at Plymouth, accompanied by Mr. Pews, King's Pilot, at Caw fand, have made a furvey of the whole of Cawfand Bay. The Commiflioners have it in contempla tion to conffrua a pier from Pinlee Point, to the fouth-eall part of the Bay, which, if accompliffied, will fccurc it again ft the E. S.

The alterations now making on Snow-hill and the propofed enlargement of Smithfield Marker by the City, afford a favourable opportunity for adopting a great improvement, and at the fame time of reniuving what may in many relpeets be deemed a nuifance. It is propofed, that in addi tion to the buildings already pulled down, form more of the many ruinous ones adjoining the ground already cleared (hould be taken down, and on the kite of them a Square or Circus built, in the interior of which a Market Ibould be ellablithed in lieu of Fleet Market, the fit nation of which has al ways been confidered inconvenient.

DUBLIN, OCT. I. NYMPH BANK FISHERY.—We are happy to in form our Readers, that in confequence of the re prefentatlons made to Government by Captain Feazaa of the vaft abundance of Fifb, on a Bank called the Nymph Bank, fituated about ten leagues off the 'coati of Waterford, it has been refolved by Government to fend out a couple of Wherries, properly manned and equipped, to fills on this Bank, and to determine its extent, and other cir cumflances favourable for carrying on an exten• five Fithery there ; the examination and report of which to be made as public as p.offible,'and to be followed np by the molt liberal encouragement fur eftablilhing the Fifhery on as great an extent as it may be found capable of being carried on, which there is every reafon to believe will be found fuperior to any Fithing-ground in the Britifh or Irith Seas, and not inferior to the Dogger Bank, or thole of Newfoundland. It is impalible for this Country not to feel the moll grateful fenfe of the ready and aelive atten tion paid by his Excellency LordiliaaowiclE, and his Principal Secretary of State, Mr. ABBOT, to every propontion for the public improvement of this part of the United Kingdom. In this inflame, Capt. FRAZER, having been in formed of this Bank, made a voyage in the end of June laft, of fix or feven days, in the RUTLAND Cruizer, Capt. Wixav, and finding the reports of the abundance of Fills amply confirmed, made a reprefentation of the fame to his Excellency, and after the fullcfl confidcration, and finding the (late- I ments amply confirmed by a great variety of tef timony, particularly by that of Mr. DRAPER, (whore thorough knowledge of Navigation and the Fifheries is fo well eflablifhed), the moft per feet determination was immediately taken to pro fecute this Fifhery to the utmoft. • OCTOBER 3.-- . 7auser Whyte, one of the North Cork foldiers lately tried at Dublin Barracks, for feducinz foldiers to go over to the Rebels, was on Wednelday lalt hanged at Wicklow. His com panion, who was alfo fentenced to death, was re prieved on condition of tranfportation for life. Government has ailed dirations that the Boun ty on Corn fhould be continued till further orders. The will of the late Mr. ROBERTSON, of Stock well, was fet afidc by his relations in the Court of Chancery, owing to an informality in draVing it tip ; and the large fortune, intended for the pur pofe of erecting a botanic garden, is divided among his family. All his flock of fine plants were fold laft week : the greater part was bought to decorate the grounds of the late Mr. THRALE the brewer, now the property of a Gentleman in the corn trade. There now lives in one of the provincial towns of France, a man aged toB, who poffeffes to ap pearance all the marl's of the health and vigour of youth. He has all his teeth entire, and his hair is as black as at any former period of his life. His manner wf living has in it only this peculiarity, that at all his meals he tiles no food but bread which has been previoufly fteeped in wine, all of which is of his own cultivation and manufaCture.

EMIGRATION TO AMERICA.--We lately flitted the injurious extent of emigration to America, and regret to have now to add, from a perfon who afrures us, that within the twelve months preted• ing his departure from the Delaware (the middle of laft Angina) eleven thoufand perfons, princi pally manufialurers, had arrived in that river from the north of Ireland, from whence numerous per lons had landed in other parts of the United States, though not in fimilar proportions. The laws in New York and Mafrachufett‘, which com pel the Commanders of vdfcic to give fecurity that perions whom they convey there, that' not for two years become burdcnfome to the State, had dimi tatted the number of emigrants, by inducing in creafed attention i I thole who may be faid to deal in them 4 as, where they have not money, they are fold for certain terms to defray the price of pairagt, : but even under there circumllances, the population of Londonderry, Limerick, &c. continues to be infinitely increafed by new expor. ations, particularly at the former town, where the nhabitants carry on the linen trade, the Raple of he devoted place of their nativity, in great per teltion : all they manufaCture, which is rather of ' .he coarfe kind, meeting a ready tale at Boßon, ,trom which they are but about forty miles cliftsm. noORTINO INTELLIGtWCE.

She trotted the mile in three minutes and 15 feconds, and walked the mile in it minutes and 13 feconds. A man of the name of Coppin brought his wife to Guildhall, on Thurfday, for tearing his face with her nails, being refolved no longer to countenance luch behaviour. Tot LORD Maroa.—The praife which was late ly bellowed on the prefent worthy Chief Magic- trate by the LORD Mavoa elea, on the findings of Guildhall, was in every refire& futh as he was fairly entitled to; for few men have pallid throigh life with fo much crcdit to themfelves both for in diary and integrity. It is well known, and we mention the circum. fiance to his honour, that this Gentleman was ori ginally a common labouring Bricklayer ; and wo mention the lubjefl in order to introduce an anec dote with it, for the accuracy of which we Can vouch, as the worthy Magißrate often repeats the Rory with great fatistattion and delight. In the humble fituation we have mentioned, he happened at a very early age to be employed in repairing the Parfonagelioufe, at Uxbridge.— Going up the ladder one day with his hod and mortar, he was accolled by the Parfon's wife, who told him Ihe had had a very extraordinary dream. —She told him that (he had dreamed he would one day become Lord Mayor of London! Allo nailed at fuch a prophecy, STAINES could only fcratch his head, and thank her Honour for think. ing of fuel' a vaR promotion. He laid he had nei ther money nor hiends; and, in (port, the bufinefs of the dream was only confidered as dreams gene rally are, and was very loon forgotten. The Parfon's wife, however, was not fo eafily to be turned from her prognoßications, and the dream had evidently left a great impreffion.— Her mind was bent on young STA I N E s, and Lord Mayor he Ihould he. Accordingly, the fame dream occurred again, and the fame communication re peated to him, that he was born to be Lord Mayor. The matter thus paired off, and Young STAINES left the Parfonage Houle at Uxbridge with no other impreffion than the kindnefs which had been [hewn and the notice that had been taken of him. It was not until Mr. STAINES was made Sheriff of London that this dream became much the fub jell of notice, though we think there is little doubt but that it had made a idling impreflion on his mind, and probably was an incentive to laudable induflry through lite. The Uxbridge Parfon had by this time become old; but he lived long enough to be the Sheriff's Chaplain, and died dining the Sheriffalty. But this is not the only miracle which has oc curred and been verified .luring Mr. STAINF progrefs through life; and we can vouch fir the following being as authentic and much more ex traordinary than the foregoing. An old Lady many years ago foretold Mr. STAINES'S forture. She laid that he would be Lord Mayor during a _period of turbulence and fcarciry ; that we Riould be at war with France; but that dor;ng his Mayor alty peace and plenty would be rellored. The worthy Magißrate was laxly relating this and other anecdotes, which he is fond of doing, ov.r his pipe and a glafs; for we know no fate faCtion fn great to an horieß and confetentious mind, as the recolleClion of fortunate occurrences during a well (pent life. He obfereed on the pro phecy of his old ft fiend, but expreffed great doubts of its being fulfilled in regard to a Peace. Mr. STAINES has happily lived to fee even this fulfilled; and as be has yet five weeks to continue in his Mayoralty, he hopes he fhall go out of rtF, bread is nine-pence the tanartern leaf! hopes be verified, and may the civic chair ways filled with men of fo much worth al unblerninted charaincr. !—Tmrs. 11•• F.ce a hco, May his it be al. and fucks
