She left Sierra Leone on the 21Ith of May, bringing one of the Commissioners of Inspection and Enquiry, who weiit out some months since. The rainy season had just commenced, but the ships were remarkably healthy. —The MaiJstone, Commodore Millen, was at Sierra Leone ; Cie BrAzen and Esk, in the Bight of Benin; the R-oawing. on the Windward Coast ; the Leven, Bar-, racont4, and Coi.fUct, surveying the Rio Grande Shoals; the I).<patch, on her passage to Ascension and t ngland.

Sue left that o•land on the 15th of May, and Gibraltar the 13th or June; the surveying ship Mastiff, Capt. Copeland, was the only ship in the Bay. The American squadron was the Archipelago. The Eden has been four years in commission ) and so effectual has been the system of Ilygienne recommended, and scrupulously adopteLe, that only tlitee men have died on board her in that pt.. ftiod. She sailed on Thursday for Deptford, to b- paid off His Majesty's schooner Speedwell, Lieut. Orcenliam, anchored at Port Royal on the 28th of April, having sailed from Trinidad de Cuba on the 20th, after seeing the convoy safe in. On the 21sT, in lat. 19. 30.

A fire broke out at the works of the Edinburgh Gas Light Company on Monday, about half - past twelve o'clock at noon, but was fortunately got under about two o'clock, by the exertion of the firemen, under the 'direction of Mr. Br aidwood, the Superintendant of the Fire Engine establishment, who acted with the greatest promptitude in extinguishing the flames, which for some time had rather a serious appearance. A discovery of great importance has lately been made by Mr. Atchibald Cook, manager of the Paisley , Gas Works. The gas tar, which is of little value, and troublesome to get qui t of, Mr. Cook has applied as a substitute for coal, in heating the retorts, in the pro duction of gas. The practical result of his experiment has been completely successful. CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, JULY S. Saturday, the following Degrees were wmferred Murmurs or A ars—Rev.

PIRACY. " Extract of a Letter from Constantinople.' The Helen, Pointz, from London, has been attacked .by pirates, off the island of Andros, and plundered of, it is supposed, about one third of her cargo. Iliving since arrived at Smyrna, means were taken to ascertain the property lost, and about tot ty packages had already been ascertained as wanting, which the Captain was prevented from knowing at the time, having been beaten and driven away when he attempted to note the goods which the Greeks were carrying off. A similar misfortune has since attended the Diadem, Captain Airtch, from London, nearly in the same place ; three boats load of goods were carried off, and they are pursuing the same means at Smyrna to ascertain the extent of the loss as stated above. Frogs the extract of the log in my possession, it seems that Captain Airtch made some resistance, and it is to be wondered at that no severe treatment of the crew followed. GLASGOW. JULY 4.—The arrival of the Jamaica packet has placed in our Tontine Books an entry such as never was seen in the Shipping Lists since these were placed in the Exchange Rooms, namely, the arrival of a vessel at Jamaica, direct from the port of Marseilles.

THRlATinnlie E'iur, bit wife, were charged with sending a variety of letters, containing threats of an abominable description, to the brother of the former, a respectable Gentleman residing in the city, for the purpose of extorting money. The complainant stated, that within the last few months he had advanced the defendants 601. although they had no claim whatever upon him, and were able to support themselves respectably if they thought proper ; but that, not satisfied with that, they had annoyed him by sending a number of letters, frOm the language contained in which he was apprehensive of personal danger, and therefore ap palled to the Lord Mayor for protection. The complainant pro. duced upwards of a dozen letters, the nature of which are unfit foe publication. The defendants, in answer to the charge, pleaded poverty, and said that the complainant was well able to support them, and ought to be compelled to do so. They then entered into a long history of family transactions, of no interest whatever except to the parties. The Loan Marcia said the evidence was quite sufficient to war rant him in committing the prisoners. He, however, remanded them, to give the Clerk time to prepar e th e de positions against them. GUILDHALL. On the last day of the City Election , two men, named David Dixon and John Hill, were taken into custody for distributing squibs against Mr. Aldeimak Wood, to which the printer had omitted to fix his name and place of abode. They at first stoutly denied that they could tell who employed them to distribute the bills ; but after 24 hours' imprisonment, under a threat of three months' had labour, and a feeling of disappointment that their employers had not provided legal assistance for them, they made soch confessions, that upon their evidesfee (one of them bring the pressman who worked off the impressions) six informations were filed by the City Solicitor against Mr. Roberts, a printer in Shoe. lane, for not affixing his imprint to the said squibs, which called upon the t•atholics to vote for Mr. Alderman. Wo. d. The men were discharged, after being imprisoned a week, and on Saturday the informations were heard before Mr. Alderman Mister. Mr. Humphreys, for the defendant, however, pleaded a mis nomer, chat his client was styled William Robarts, instead of Wil liam John Hobart., and the whole of the informations were con sequently quashed. • The City Solicitor assured Mr. Humphreys that pew informa-. tions would be filed.—Oh! very well, said Mr. H. smiling as be retired; but " sufficient for the day is the evil thereof." BOW-STREET. A man of the nano of somas iloydw as brought to this office on several charges. He is a man of the most singularly eccentric appearance. He wears a large straw hat, with a broad brim turned up on each shit. His person is short, thin, and meagre, and he wears mustachios. He has taken in many of the hotel-keepers of the west end of the town, under the pretence that he is related to the Attoniey-General of Jamaica, and the proprietor of two vale. able estates in that island. He has also pretended that the Lord (.Itancellor allowed hint £2OO per annum, to avoid a public expo sure. The proprietors of Oliver's Coffee-house, Westminster bridge; of the York Arms, Clarges.street, and other tavern. keepers, and several coach proprietors, were in attendance. He was sentenced to bne month's imprisonment, for refusing to pay li, the fare of a hackney coachman. He was also committed in default of hail, for threatening to shoot a Gentleman named Mans field. His conduct during the examination was most impudent ; he threatened actions against the parties whom he had duped, and called the officers thieves and rogues ; and swore that he never would pay a farthing to the blackguards" who had preferred the charges against him, to they had proved hint a scoundrel, a traitor, and a deserter. The Drum Major of the Coldstream Guards proved that the prisoner, in 11100, was a fifer in that Regiment. It was stated, thht the prisoner deserted and i?ined Bonaparte. He exclaimed, " I received a pardon for that. A Gentleman, named Taylor, Mum the prisoner had duped, said, the prisoner represented to him that he had just arrived from' the West Indies, and that he had property to a great amount in the City, in foreign coin, which he should get exchanged for Rogfish currency in a few days. The prisoner exclaimed, " I know the law, they are only debts; I made no false representation that you can prove. I was a fifer twenty-five years ago ; and what of that? it is not what I have been, but what am. I married a -Lady of fortune, the aunt of the Attorney-General of Jamaica ; and, be cause [ horsewhipped him in Cant, I was sent away to America without a trial, and I came to -England to seek redress." The prisoner was conveyed to prison. Three brothers named Clarke, residing in 'Wild -court, Lincoln's Inn-fields, were remanded, charged with an extensive robbery on Mr. Morris, fringe-maker, of Bedford -street, Covent-garden, by whom one of the brothers was employed. A considerable quantity of the property was produced, and Mr. Morris pointed out WMe of his marks, which had been defaced, and the prisoners marks placed over them. Mrs. Clarke, the mother of the prisoners, a woman of respectable appeirance, was in the office, with snore! pretty well. dressed girls, her daughters ; and she said, that the property which had the marks of Morris on the wood, had been purchased by her at his shop; and she denied that the property found in her house had been stolen. • _ _ _ The books ud the prisoners were produced, by which it appeared that they had been carrying on a considerable business, and under selling the trade genet Av.—They were remanded till Tuesday next. M A RL BOROUG H-STREET. A very genteel looking boy, not above eight years of age, wbo said his name was Jervis Levy, but who had nut the slightest appear ance of belonging to the Jewish persuasion, was placed at the bar, to the height of which his head could not reach, charged with the following impudent robbery : Mrs. Warner. the wife of Mr. %Varner, an engraver in Tottenham court Road, stated that she went that day, in company with another Lady, to make some purchases at the Bazaar in Soho-square, and while there she took out a small pocket book, and laid it on the counter by her side, and in a minute or two after the Lady who was with her told her that this boy had stolen her pocket book, and on her ►urning round, she saw him endeavouring to make his escape, but he was stopped before he could get out of the place, and the pocket book found in his possession. The other Lady Jawing corroborated this statement, the Magis trate asked the child who his parents were, and what instigated Dim to commit this theft. He replied that his father is a fruiterer hr Broad -court, Long Acre, and that a boy much bigger than himself, who was with him, desired him to steal the pocket book. He is remanded until Wednesday next. If A TTON-G A R DEN. Pike, Eady, and Moore, the three fellows taken by Waddington, one of the dismounted patrol, at the lower end of Lamb's Conduit street, and on whom were found every necessary implement for the most extensive burglaries, were brought up for re-examination, having been remanded for some days, to give the police an oppor tunity of identifying them with any of the numerous attempts at burglary in the vicinity of Russell-square and the Foundling Hos pital. they being all well known to most of the (dicers. Waddington stated, that he bad not been able to bring any thing further against them at present, although he had taken infinite pains en the occasion. Since the first examination, however, ►e had re ceived a very singular letter, though from whom he knew not, which, with permission. he would read. It was as follows: " Mr. Waddington, " Sta—The three chaps you grabbed last night just by the Found. ling, Jack Pike, Bill Eady, and Bill More, they intended to sane the tailor's crib in Lamb's Conduit street, by getting into the empty house next door to it. They have been making their brags at Cook's (a sort of flash house), these three weeks, how they meant to sarve the tailor's, and how they had had a shy at the Foundling itself. Mr. Waddington, you'll find all this true by G—n, what I have stated to you, and I shall soon put you up to more sarvicable information. At present I have no time, and must remain, '• Yours, Unknown." The Magistrate said such letter could not be received in evidence, being anonymous, and perhaps without any foundation in truth. In the atsence of any further evidence against the prisoners, he should commit them to the House of Correction, as incorrigible rogues and vagabonds, until the Sessions, then and there to be dealt with as the law should direct. The prisoners here applied for leave for their friends to come and see them but they were told they were going to the House of Cor rection, and would of course abide by its rules. UNION-HALL Friday, a gentlemanly looking man, who gave his name John Pagel, was brought up in the custody 1f Shergoki, one of the con stables of the Slurry watch.house ' before the sitting Magistrate, J. 8. Cagamut., Esq. charged with stealing the undermentioned articles of plate, the property of Miss Brown, of Henry-street, Lambeth. Mrs. Mary Brown stated, that on a rhunday last, at two o'clock in the afternoon, there was a knock at the door, and a man of gentlemanly appearance inquired whether be could see Miss Brown. Witness happened to be up stairs at the time, and desired the ser vant to show the " Gentl eman ' i nto the parlour, and inform him that she should wait upon him presently. He was accordingly in vited into the breakfast parlour, and Mrs. Brown soon afterwards entered, and saw the prisoner, who, on her entrance, immediately rose, sod made a most profouud bow, accosting her in a familiar, manner, as if he had been aerrainted with her prevton,ly. She, however, intimated that he had the advantage of her in !hit re spect, when the prisoner, without further apology, asked bre whether she knew Dr. D;xon. She replied, that she v,2, r.,t acquainted with the Doctor, but that she knew there was each a person. During this cnnversason, although the stranger 1 .2,1 the appearance of a Gentleman, she began strongly to suspc:t that he had come there for no good purpose, and on looking to wards the parlour closet, where all the plate was deposited, she observed the door wide open, and, upon glattalg in: &he directly missed a quantity of silver articles off _the—slielhet; and at once accused the prisoner of being a thief. o's }lap peared agitated, and said, " For Go sake," but she bear the expression that followed the exclamation. threMoest-prkm ceeded to take out of his pockets and hat the folloWing articles, visa —a silver fah slice, a silver mug, one gravy spoon, two silver table spoons, five silver dessert spoons, one silver sauce spoon, and three silver salt spoons, which he 6rsrplaced on the table, and afterwardi put them back into the closet, and baying done so, be then attempted to run out of the house.—Mrs. Brown, however, followed, and prevented his escape, by seizing his collar, and lustily calling . out " a thief, a thief," when a man named Oliver came to her assistance; and they both held the prisoner until the arrival of Skergold did constable, into whose custody he was given. Mrs. Brown added; that the several articles above enumerated are the property of her daughter, and of considerable value. She never raw the prisoner in her life until the day on which he came to the house, as alreadl described. Shergold stated, that when he came op the prisoner was makint violent exertions to break loose from Mrs. Brown and the mad Oliver, both of whom were holding him. When he (Sberguld) took him in charge, the prisoner in,isted upon being set at liberty, declaring he would indict all of them at the Sessions, if they petse vered in detaining a Gentleman. The prisoner said nothing in kis defence, and he was committed. PUBLIC SALES. By Mr. HOGGA RT.

The following account at the death of an elephant, from the New York Gazette of the sth ult. proves that there is a quicker way of destroying an animal of this description than was employed here lately : " This brutal outrage, we learn from the Providence Microcosm, was committed about midnight, as the elephant was moving with its keeper and attendants from the village of Chepatchet towards Smithfield, two muskets, or rifles, having been discharged at it from the grist mill near the bridge; one of which was loaded with seven, and the other with two bullets. which killed the noble beast almost instantly, and imminently endangered the keeper's life. The perpetrators of the shameful deed left the mill, and mixed with the citizens who were in the road, large numbers having been drawn from their houses by the pleasant moon-light night, and a knowledge of the keeper's intention to remove the animal So surprised were they at a catastrophe so unexpected, and so disgraceful to its agents, and so absorbed were they in coattail iating the bloody spectacle before them, that they made no immediate efforts to discover the unprincipled perpetrators, and it was apprehended they bad eluded the arm of justice. By the persevering exertions of the people of that village, prompted by the best feelings, a discovery has keen made, and six persons have been examined, and the evidence of their having been concerned in the affair being strong, have been ordered to recognize in the sum of 500 dollars each, with sureties in the same amount. to await their trial before the competent tri bunal. The persons apprehended are—Fenner Eddy, John Inman, Albert lisidy, Francis West, Angell Darling, Benjamin Bowen, who are persons unable to give restitution, and for w►ose conduct no motive is assigned other than that of a disposition for mischief. The elephant was valued at 12,000 dollars." Thursday, the remains of the Rev.

It is a fact perhaps unprecedented, that at present, Loch Tay discharges no wat r by the bed of the river Tay. It is not remembered by the oldest inhabitant in that quarter, that they have at any prior period seen a less body of water than three feet deep issuing from the Loch by the Tay, in any season—thus the evaporation from the 14.1c1i has excreted in this, any known season, by about 180,124,560 cubic feet.
