Arrived last night the Friends, Quest, Integrity, Endeavour, and several other sail of transports, from Calais, with troops and horses. In coming into the harbour, the Friends got aground within the Pier head, which occasioned several vessels to run foul of her ; she had her bulwarks, fore-rigging, &c. carried away. The Endeavour, of Fife, ran foul of her, and carried away her bowsprit, broke her anchor, and re ceived other damage.—The above transports had on board the 12th Regiment of Royal Lancers, all of which have disembarked this morning, and will pro ceed on for Chichester to-morrow.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East-India-house, when Captain C. S. Timms was sworn into the command of the ship Bridgewater, consigned to China direct. From the Bermuda Gazette of the 19th Septem tember, 1518 :—" The ship Alfred the Great, Capt. JOHN DAvis, of London, 370 tons burden, home ward bound, struck on the rocks off the west end of these islands, about midnight, on the stormy night of Tuesday last, and after having been entangled among the breakers and shoals at least four hours, finally bilged about daylight, before any assistance could be got to her. She was from Falmouth, and Montego-bay, Jamaica, having left the latter port on the 6th of August, and successively experienced on the voyage contrary winds and calm weather. Her cargo consisted of rum, sugar, logwood, fustic, ma hogany, &c. Great exertions have been made to save the valuable property with which she was laden, and the boats have succeeded in getting out the rum, and it is expected the dye-wood, &c. and other buoyant ankles, will also be brought off ; but as the tide was rising, it is feared the sugar, to the amount of up wards of 400 hogsheads, will be lost. The Captain and crew were saved, as well as the passengers, who were JAMES M. DAVIS, Esq. of London, part owner of the ship, Master MORRIS and Master CHAMIERS, (two young Gentlemen going home for their educa tion), and three female servants. Mrs. Mors, the Ca?tain's Lady, died on board about a week after they left Jamaica." mA.vcarsttit, poE4IIDER 10. , - PRIVATE LFITE IL The Russians have not only been good customers to us of late, in the purchase of Cotton Twist, but have likewise sent over very considerable orders for maa nufactured goods of every description, many of which are now under hind, exclusive of the large quanti ties that have been sent off.—We want nothing but a revival of our home trade to restore our commerce to its former tone and vigour. Recruiting for the East-India Company's service, has being going on here to a considerable extent for some time past, and all the other avenues to a mili tary life having been closed by the Government orders for an extensive reduction of our forces, a great num ber of fine able•bodied youngtmen have been picked up. From the low rate of wages, there is no doubt but many thousands might be raised in a few weeks, in this place and the neighbourhood. EXECUTION AT ABERDEEN. Friday John Bernet, alias 2lf Barnet was executed at Aberdeen, for various acts of house-breaking and theft, pursuant to his sentence at the last Circuit Court ofJusticiary.—This unfortunate man appeared alike unmoved on his receiving sentence of death, and during his confinement, as on the melancholy oc casion of the execution Of his sentence ; when, al though rather downcast, the awful scene before him did not produce any visible change or seeming emo tion, while there is no doubt, from the observations of all who were accustomed to see him, he was deeply impressed with a sense of his guilt, and the ignominy he had in consequence incurred. With this impres sion on his mind, he conducted himself in a manner very becoming his unhappy situation, acknowledged the justice of his sentence, and met his sad fate with sincere penitence. He died with great struggle; and, after hanging the usual time, the body was cut down, and conveyed, under the attending escort of the Nth Regiment, to a boat ready to receive it, in which it was carried out, and sunk at sea ! DREADFUL FIRE. Another calamitous fire happened on Tuesdaynight last, about eight o'clock, at the house of Mr. George, of No. 62, Ratcliffe-highway, butcher, which is di rectly opposite that of the late Mr. ionnor's, who perished in the late conflagration with his son. Tues day night Mrs. George, as was her usual custom, prepared the children to put them to bed, three of whom she generally let sleep on the second floor, and the youngest, an infant boy, slept in her own cham ber; at about seven o'clock Mrs. George put the whole of them to bed, after which she went down stairs, and had sat in the parlour upwards of an hour, when an assistant boy came to her, and said to her, " Mistress, I smell something like fire." She answer ed, "It could not be there , and told him it must proceed from the ruins of the house of Mr. Bonnor. The place, however, began to fill with smoke, and smelt, very strong, which induced Mrs. George to proceed up stairs ; on her arrival at the top of the stairs, the flames came out of the door of the first floor in a most furious manner ; her screams brought assistance; some of the persons who came, on hear ing that children were asleep up stairs, proceeded thi then, but after getting them out of bed, their passage was stopped by the flames issuing up the stairs, when, to save their lives, they were obliged to let the chil dren and themselves out of the back window. . The poor child on the first floor perished in the flames, although every thing was done to rescue him. A family in one of the back apartments narrowly es taped with their lives. Several engines arrived in about a quarter of an hour after the fire commenced, and there being a plentiful supply of water, the flames were soon subdued, but not before the whole of the inside was burnt to the ground. The whole of the furniture was destroyed. The inmates of the ad joining houses saved them from catching fire, by throwing water on the walls, &c. previous to the ar rival of the engines. The fire commenced, it is sup posed, in consequence of the curtains of the bedstead catching fire in the first-floor apartment, unperceived by Mrs. George, when she put the unfortunate child to bed. Yesterday morning, when the fire was put out, the body of the child was found, and conveyed to a house near at hand for a Coroner's Inquest. DREADFUL. ACCIDENT BY FlREwoats.—The mes senger of an apothecary in Kentish Town, who was employed to carry medicines about to the several pa tients of his master, had, on the sth of November, purchased a quantity of squibs, two dozen of which he had put into his breeches pocket. As he went along, he let one of them off, but unfortunately some of the sparks thereof coming in contact with the touch-paper of those in his breeches pocket, almost instantaneously set them in a blaze. The boy was terrified, and did not put his hand into his pocket for fear of burning it ; in vain did he call to the by standers, for they were equally terrified with himself. Shortly, a tremendous explosion was heard, and the spectators were shocked by the horrible sight of his bowels gushing from his abdomen. The shrieks of the boy roused the beholders at length to a sense ofl charity, and he was shortly after carried to St. Tho mas's Hospital, where he now lingers with very slen der hopes of his recovery. MURDER.—Thursday night last a shocking murder was committed on Newmarket-heath, on the body of a poor man, who travelled round the country as a higler. He was on his return home, when he was stopped by some villains, who, after dragging him out of his cart, robbed him of all the money he had, and blew his brains out with a pistol. The body, when discovered, was lying on the mad, quite dead, and the blood and brains strewed all around. The villains effected their escape undiscovered. On Sunday morning a man called at the house of Mr. ROBINSON, surgeon, 59, Great Portland -street, with a note, saying he was to wait for an answer, and while the footman was gone up stairs with it to his master's bed-room, the fellow took the opportu nity of decamping with three great coats, which were hanging up in the hall, and got clear off. Pito,if AN AMERICAN PAM, TUE SPIRIT oF Emtortertotv...--Our shores, slyi the Pitsburg Gantt:, of the :19,h of September, exhi4 bit one of the most animated •cenes of bustling emi gration we have ever witite , sed. The beach of the Monongahela has been for several days completely lined with flat boats destined for the Illinois and other districts below the Falls of Ohio. The great body of emigrants now are of a different kind from those which we have been accustomed to see in this place ; it is composed of English, who appear to coinefitG handed, as we term it. The rage fcir emigration from the land of our forefathers, appears to pervade the whole kingdom. We have lately conversed with fa milies, speaking all the dialects from Liverpool to London, from Tweed to the Land's End. We aatici pate the most beneficial effects from this kind of po pulation. The comforts and conveniencies which they carry with them, bespeak them of a class who have been useful at home, and their racily, healthy complexions, prove the total disuse of ardent spirits, that bane of all our new settlements. We suspect that we are indebted to Mr. BIRBECICS flattering re presentation for this increase to our number and standing. May all their anticipations be realized ! May the deep forests of the West possess no gloom for them ! and may a few years of intrepid industry enable them to enjoy what was formerly the boast of the English yeomanry, roast beef and plumb.pue ding, undisturbed either by the frequent tax-4a them, or the brawling orators of reform. A Letter from St. Louis, dated Sept. 4, says : " A Gentleman informs us, that before the winter sets in, there will be nearly three millions of bricks laid in this town since the Ist of April last, and be lieves, from a general acquaintance with the citi zens, that Zotibte that quantity would be laid this season, if materials and workmen could be obtained on moderate terms. Boards and scantling are ex tremely scarce. Half a dozen saws propelled by • steam, could be profitably employed here. Common labourers are much wanted ; none can be had for less than a dollar and a half per day for the seasoa through. A few labourers from the eastward have been enabled to secure to themselves 160 acres of land each, by their labour this season." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BOXING. Itaunht.t. is training at Hampstead, and appears in fine con dition--bets are rising in his favour.—The friends of Taunts, however, eagerly take the odds. An admirable fight is expected. An obstinately-costested battle took place on Tuesday, at • Cheadle, near Stockport , between Wriatow, well known t . o . the fancy, and Davrt, a provincial noviciate. The parties, with their respective friends, set out from Manchester, in two coaches , about nine o'clock in the morning, and arrived on the ground KM after ten. The combatants set-to as soon as the ring was formed. Wilson was seconded by Salmon and Sykes, and Davis by Turner and Grainger. The nominal stakes between the two principals were only five guineas 2-side, but considerable sums were depending on the issue of the contest. Wilsoh is a slend.fra built man; Davis rather athletic, but without that science for which his adversary was distinguished. At setting-to, the odde were two to one in favou;,of Davis. The fight laste d bout and 35 minutes, during Which time seventy-three rounds were fought, so much in favour of Davis, that at the end of the tie;th round, ten to one was offered in his behalf, and refused. WO. son, though horribly bruised and disfigured, suffered himself to be brought to time till the 73d round, at the end of which he was carried off the grtund, apparently lifeless, and put to bed is a most dangerous state. Previous to entering the ring, he had declared that he would either conquer or die. Davis, on the contrary, was forced into toe contest, and, having proved Isla bottom, declares he will arrest any man who shall in future sena him a challenge, for a breach of the peach FOOT RACES Mann o► Emma Mu.r.--The Ma,tch of Eight Miles, between M.

CAIRNBAN RACES.-NEIVRY, NOV. 2. The Sportsman's Cup was this day run for over this Ham mond. Mr. Thotnpson's grey ham, and Captain Johnston's grey mare Diana, started. This was an admirable race, and af forded great amusement. Diana, by some accident, fell at a wall 'and threw her rider. She was, however, soon caught, and her nder again mounted, and notwithstanding this mishap, she overtook and passed the grey horse, which was in the end dis tanced. He had unfortunately paned one of the flags on the wrong side ; and was, of course, obliged to return and cross the fence a second time. The cup was, however, awarded to the grey horse, Diana's rider having mounted (as the Judges ti ded) at some distance from the wall, and he should have re turned to the wall and touched it with his knee. The two nil in which there are many stony fences, were run in six inie.tts and eight seconds. The Handicap Plate, value £lO. was run over the sLre.e ground, and was also a good race, and won in fine style by Air. Gosson's grey horse, Seagull. The other horses that started were. John M'Gloukhlin's ch. h. St. Patrick--Mr. Cr..wforsra b. m. —Mr. Pettigrew's b. h.—Mr. M•Goegit's br. h. First heat six minutes 22 seconds, second do. six minutes. The third race, for a ses Plate, exhibited one of the most extraordinary scenes which perhaps ever occurred on a race course. Five fiorses started—the names of the owners we have not been able to learn. When about half round the course, the five plunged into a deep ditch, which is connected with the Newry river, where they wallowed in all the luxuries of wa•er and mud. From this situation, they were with diffi:ulty cousiderable loss of time released. This accident occurred a second time to two of the horses, and the riders were ohfigi d to dismount, in order to extricate them. Several horses and rid, :3 were afterwards seen prcstrate au the ground—and at length the Plate was won by a dun horse from Rathfryland. No oth.r accident occurred, nor was there the smallest appearance of turbance. A concourse of at least ten thousand pen; k rcturuest qutedy to their homes, highly delighted with the day's alniiikaut ut. 3 A J
