DZAL, Sarramsza S. Sta—For information of those interested, we beg leave to trans mit a copy of a letter from Lieutenant Charles Turner, of the Coast Blockade, sent to us by Captain l'igot, of his Majesty's ship RA 74ILILS, relative to the schooner Exeter Packet taking fire near the Reculvers yesterday morning, and of the meritorious exertions of that Officer in the protection of the property from pluuder.—We are, Sir, your most obedient servants, GOODWIN, CURLING, and Co. Agents to Lloyd's. TO CAPTAIN MOT, I.N. HIS MAJILITY'S SHIP ILAKILISS, DOWNS. BISHOINVONS, NISH RICULVIRS, 9 LK. SIFT. 4. Sin-I heg leave to inform you that the Exeter Packet, of Exeter, Webber, Master, took fire at 8 this morning abreast off this station. I immediately went off to her assistance, and with my boat's crew assisted in saving some part of her cargo. • The Sea• Lark and Fly revenue cruisers were also there, and assisted. It was found necessary to scuttle the vessel, arid at ten o'clock she sunk on the Sands a mile and a quarter off the Reculvers. On the rising of the tide the vessel fell on her beam ends; by this time eight or ten vessels, with about two hundred men, wet e anchored near. Messrs. hell, of H-rne, were employed to raise the vessel, which, with our assistance, no doubt would have been done, but the wreckers declared the vessel (in co- sequence of her being on her beam ends) a wreck. We kept them off for some time by threats; however, they persisted in getting their vessels along side, and commenced plundering her cargo, consisting of groceries, oil, and British manufactured cotton goods, and furniture, with sundry articles of iron. I succeeded in getting the vessel upright, and at eight o'clock left her ; the scuttle had been secured, her decks were dry, and wreckers were baling and pumping her out; they were gaining fast upon her when I lefts As the Master had given her up to the Messrs. Bell, of Herne, to raise her, and I had done all I possibly could do for the vessel, I considered it advisable to return ; before I left, a vessel was lashed down on each side, to keep her upright, and as the weather is very fine, I have no.donbt she will be taken into Margate or Whitstable to-morrow. If I had remained longer I could have done no more than I did. I have written to the several officers on either side, requesting the pro perty may be secured on its being landed, iu protection of the Underwriters and the Revenue. 1 have the honour to be, &e. Am. CHARLES TURNER, Lint. Monday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, the passengers, whilst proceeding to London, by the Dart steam-packet, (which, by-the-by, was crowded to excess, having between three and four hundred persons on board) when about two miles distant from the Reculvers, per ceived a ship on fire, which they learnt was an Exeter trader. She was surrounded by boats, rendering her every assistance, and it was a most beautiful, as well as a most gratifying sight, to observe all the craft, smacks, &c. &c. proceeding to her assistance in full sail, each vying with the other as to who should lend the first helping hand. It had the appearance of a fleet in minia ture, so many had assembled to assistin rescuing their fellow-creatures from the perils of the two elements.— She burnt to the edge of the water, when she went down bow foremost ; nu lives were lost, and it is hoped, from the number of boats, &c. near her, that very little of her cargo will have been destroyed. Levers from Hamburgh state that a considerable rise has already taken place in the price of corn there, parti cularly of those sorts, the permission to import which into this country has been anticipated. Oats are said to have risen, within no great time, cent. per cent. The festivities of Bartholomew-fair closed last night. The efforts made by the City Authorities to do away altogether with this annual spectacle have been more successful this year than they have hitherto been. The price of the ground on which the boothswere to have been formed have been so excessively high, that few of the public shewmen could afford the expense; and those who did venture on the undertaking, have been miser able losers. Hence the absence of Gyngell, Saunders, and other prominent votaries of this description of, amusement. The weather also has been materially against the receipts. CAUTION TO CHEMISTS, TOYMEN, AND OTHERS.—A great alarm has been excited among those persons who carry on the foregoing, and similar trades, arising from a number of informations which have been laid against the sellers of gold and silver articles not having a licence. By the last Act of Parliament, it is declared, that every person offering for sale any article of gold or silver, however small it may be, and not taking out an annual licence,is liable to the penalties alßxed. We understand, that the names of above eight hundred in dividuals haye been given in to the Exchequer, and above two hundred writs are issued. ACCIDENT AT LONDON BRIDO/L.--FURTHER PARTI• CULARlL—Thesday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, Mr. JOSIAH ALEXANDER, M.P. Sir JOHN SCOTT LILLIE, Mr. KYNASTON POWELL, Master ALEXANDER (she son of Mr. ALEXANDER), and a Mr. DUNN, were p (.:ceding from one of the steam packets off the Tower, through London-bridge, when, unfortunately, the boat came in contact with some of the works of the new bridge, and was immediately sunk. Other beats put wit as soon as possible, one of which took up Sir JOHN SCOTT laws, who appeared to be a good swimmer, with the son of Mr. ALEXANDER (a boy about eight or nine years old, who could not swim), who was sup plied in the water by Sir JOHN LILIAN; another boat cock up Mr. ALEXANDER, and a third Mr. KYNAsTON rowELL, but Mr. Dun i unfortunately sunk to rise no rrirPe. The frequency of such accidents, it is hoped, *lli call the attention of the Chief Magistrate of the C ty, An d all boats be pre — vented,chiring a certain period of utie, from shooting under the niches of this bridge. SHAFTESBURY BOROUGH SESSIONS. Saturday, at the Shaftesbury Borough Sessions, on the entrance of the Reporter into the justice-room, before the other magistrates had arrived, he was recognised by Charles Bowles, Esq. the worthy Recorder, who said, " Mr. Reporter, I am very glad to see you here, and you may depend upon it that at these Sessions you will never find hindrances, but the utmost accommodation that it is in our power to afford you." The only case of tht slightest importance tried here, shows the slight regard which many persons pay to the obligations of oaths. 'A labourer of the name of Brictill, of Whitcomb, was brought up in custody, on suspicion of having stolen some cart harness from a Mr. Bennett, of Shaftesbury, and selling it to his master. He declared that he had found it, and that he had a witness to prove it. The witness, on being culled, turned out to be kis mother. The KILCORDIttt said, that he had great objections to this woman's swearing, considering her near relationship to the prisoner. She appeared, however, most anxious to do so, and on being asked if she knew what would become of her if she took a false oath, she instantly said, " I shall be d—d to hell for ever." The Recorder still objected to her being sworn, when one of the Ma. gistrates suggested the propt!-ety of examining the prisoner and his mother separately, and the latter was ordered to withdraw. Upon their separate examinations it turned out that the son had picked up, as he said, the harness in one place, and the witness would have sworn, if she had been permitted, that she saw him pick it up at a point widely different.—The man is committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions. The penalty incurred by Mr. Rutter, for printing without putting his name at the foot of a circular letter, as reported a fortnight ago, has been reduced to 51. by the magistrates, and it is understood that all the ether informations will be withdrawn. BOW BELLS. Tuesday a Vestry Meeting was held at Bow Church, to receive the Report of the Committee appointed to examine into the state of the bells belonging to the Church, and of the masonry of the tower, as connected with them. Mr. SIMPSON, the Chairman, stated that the Com mittee, after some proceedings, themselves thought pro per to take the opinions of their Architect, and of Mr. Mears, a bell founder, who was a person of considerable experience and science, on the subject. The Chairman then read the Report of these Gentlemen. It stated, there could be no question with persons acquainted with the subject,that much injurybad been done to the tower since 1762, when the present peal was set up. This injury they felt no doubt had arisen from three causes, namely, from the injudicious mode of hanging the bells—from part of the frame, on which the bells swing, being wedged up against the masonry of the tower—and from a want of sufficient solidity in the construction of the tower itself to withstand the force cleated by the motion of a peal of bells, consisting of ten tons of metal. In the year 1762, two new bells, and a considerable addition of weight to bells, then were added to a light peal, consisting previously of only eight bells. The old frame was altered to accommodate the addi ' tion, but without any improvement. In course of time it appeared the frame became sicken'', and, to keep the bells steady, wedges were fixed between the frame and the masonry of the tower, by which means the motion of the frame in ringing was imprudently trans. ferred to the tower; whereas, were the frame left pro. perly detached from the walls, the motion would nearly lose itself in it. The remedy which these Gentlemen pro posed for this evil, was to re•hang the bells, so that the direction of the framing, and the ringing of the bells, should be against the four angles of the tower, instead of being against the four sides, as at present, and at the same time disrosing of the weight of metal as nearly equal on all sides ; and also the swinging reci procally in contrary directi , ns, as far as circumstances would allow. To remedy the want of solidity in the tower, Mr. Gwilt suggested the fixing of a chain of iron ties below the main timbers of the bell-frame, which, he said, was decidedly the place were the tower suffered most. The total expense of putting the tower in complete and safe repair, and of effecting these al terations, they estimated at 7751. A model had been prepared by these Gentlemen to exemplify the new mode of hanging, and was exhibited in the Vestry. After much discussion, in which the Committee urged that what they had ordered was requisite, the Vestry agreed to sanction the measure. The Report of the ommittee was approved, although its recommendation had been rejected. The Meeting then adjourned. We understand that one or two of the advocates for the ringing of the bells are determined not to let the matter rest here, but to apply to the ecclesiastical autho rities on the subject. Such was formerly the zertl in favour of these bells, that one citizen left two houses in Bow-lane, from which the parish receive 1001. per annum for maintaining two of the bells. A Lady also bequeathed 2,0001. for embellishing the church and furnishing it with bells. Saturday, the carcase of a young bullock, which had apparently been drowned, was cast ashore in the bay of Luce, in Galloway, here it was discovered soon after by a farm servant who resides in the parish of Glenluce, and not far from the town of the same name. As acci dents not unfrequently occur in ferrying cattle from Ireland to Scotland, theAder congratulated himself on •his good luck, and by some means or other got the bullock conveyed to his own home. The neighbours, who were soon informed of the circumstance, assembled round him in considerable numbers; and while the men folk were engaged in skinning and cutting up the flesh of the animal, the farm servant's wife cleaned and boiled the head and feet, with the view of making what is called 66 potted head." Of this dish her husbaro and fourteen others partook, but the effects were dread ful; for, before the lapse of two or three hours, the whole became alarmingly ill. The man who found the bullock, and who had perhaps eaten more freely than the rest, swelled to such a size, that his body threatened to burst through his skin; and he died in the course of the same day, after suffering the most excruciating tortares. Up to Sunday evening, the remaining persons were all alive; but as most of them had vomited coagulated blood as black as pitch, the surgeons in aVtendance entertained, we understand, very serious fears for the result. A calamity so awful is fortunately of rare occurrence in Scotland ; and the opinion expressed in the neighbour hood is, that the flesh of the bullock had either been putrid, or that it had died of the disease called black leg. fhe above facts have been communicated to us verbally by a Gentleman in Glenluce, through the Guard of the Galloway Mail ; and although our informant omitted to take a note of the names of the sufferers, and then places of residence, his information, we believe, may be implicitly reled on, so tar as it gees...Dumfries Grimier. TRADE AND MANUFACTURES. . -•~- MANCHESTER Goons MARKET, Sm. S. Although there has been during the autumn a de mand considerably greater than there was during the summer months, there has not been such a degree of confidence in the steadiness of the demand as to en courage manufacturing to any thing like the usual es tent. Some manufacturers, tempted by the low rate of wages, had begun, indeed, to give out work with greater freedom ; but still there was no immediate prospect of such an improvement as would either give employment to all the work people, or add any thing to their mise rably small earnings. The admission of foreign grain has, however, given a more favourable aspect to the state of trade, and although I cannot learn that any more goods have been in consequence sold to-day, I know several instances in which manufacturers who were wavering as to what they should do—whether they should make, so as to to accumulate a stock at the pre sent low rate of wages—have determined to go on, and rather to add than to diminish the number of their hands. —The spinners to-slay have tried to obtain an advancc on yarns, but have not succeeded, nor a , e they likely to succeed while so much power lies dormant. All the factories must be at wot k, and all the weavers must he employed, before prices can advance; and though this is likely, and, indeed, certain to be accelerated by the modification of the Corn Laws, there is a dreary wi ter to be encountered, before the improvement can effica ciously reach the mass of the people. FROM THB SHEFFIELD IRIS. The manufactures of Sheffield not being brought into an open market for sale, as is the case in Leeds and many other places„the exact state of trade is not easily ascertained. Our report, therefore, can only be made up from the general opinion, aided by other circumstances and appearances which may be calculated to throw light upon the subject. We have not heard of any alteration in the commercial affairs of this neighbourhood amount ing to a general or even partial improvement, and so far as the poor mechanics are affected, we believe the distress is rather on the increase than otherwise. This is indicated by the applications for assistance from the fund for relieving the unemployed poor, which are in coming mure numerous every week. There has, however, existed one peculiarity in the case of Sheffield diming the period of embairassment with which the whole kingdom has been affected, which justifies the fullest confidence in its general solvency ; we refer to the re markable fact of no failures of any consequence having taken place. So literally true is this statement, that we venture to say not a single instance of bankruptcy has been recorded which can fairly be attributed to the pressure of the times, or which would have been avoided had the prosperity of the past year been continued during this. This is a singular circumstance, and one which, we fear, applies to no other town of any thing like the magnitude and population of Sheffield. There have been few instances of property offered for public sale recently ; and while we account for this by saying that it has been because of an impression that few have had spare money to buy, we cannot help regarding it as a proof that few have been so necessitous as to be obliged to sell—which, of course, confirms out opinion respect ing the solvency of the town. Sheffield is not a place where much speculation is carried forward ; and the capital employed in business is not fictitious, but real. If large fortunes have not been suddenly amassed by lucky experiments, ruinous devastation has not been the result of unlucky adventures. Our mercantile progress has been gradual, and perhaps rather dependent upon our industry than our enterprise ; and on this account there is good reason to believe that it will still be ad vanced, as, indeed, it is advancing, by the same un wearied and unostentatious assiduity. Extract of a letter, dated Vera Cruz, Jane 26 :- 4 4 The late disasters in England did not fail to leave their effects here. Bills to an extensive amount were suffered to come back protested, but a great number were taken up here on presentation ; and since the last accounts we have from London, it appears that some of the principal houses resumed their business again ; in consequence, confidence is recovering here. Money has of late been very scarce ; but a few days since we got some relief through a conductor, which arrived from Mexico with about 1,200,000 dollars, of which 500,000 are to be shipped against the last loan." In consequence of what has recently come to light upon the subject, the CHANCELLOR, it is said, has made an order, that no attorney should in future issue a commission of bankrupt, without first certifying that no clerk of his was named in it as a Commissioner."— The good effects of such an order, it is manifest, may be easily evaded. Farmers, to save themselves a little trouble, are often in the habit of ploughing up their footpaths. This prac tice is altogether illegal, and a person in Oxfordshire was lately fined 50s. for doing so. Thursday afternoon, a woman resident in Chorlt-on row, near the George the Fourth, Manchester, placed some Jacob's water to kill flies, within the reach of her infant, who drank of it, and soon afterwards died. Buns.—These disagreeable insects can neither climb up glass nor glazed earthenware, so if the bedstead rest on slabs (of either substance), and care be taken that the furniture touch neither the floor nor the wall of the charts• ber, the object will be obtained. All the accounts from thqse parts of the North of Europe sufficiently near to England to receive intelli gence of the plans agitated in the late Cabinet Coun cils, indicate the greatest activity in the markets for every description of produce, but especially corn. Oats advanced full 30 per cent. and wheat still more ; while sugar, coffee, and some other articles of colonial pro• duce, the diffusion of which is believed to depend on the activity of the trade in coin, also experienced an ad vance. • The transactions yesterday of the colonial. market in Mincing-lane were also distinguished by a briskness which has not been experienced for a very long time past, although business there has of late been I l far from languid. CRANBOURNIC CHACIL—This chace is said to extend over half a million of acres, and the present stock ofl deer is at least from ten to twelve thousand. The right of chace, the greatest ever possessed even by any Mo narch of this country, extending over not fewer than 500,000 acres of land, is the sole property of GROROR Lord Rivals, who has repeatedly refused offers of pur chase made by other Noblemen, but has recently pro. posed to the land owners to disfranchise it, on their binding themselves to a payment to him and his heirs of 18001. per annum. The Gentlemen of the Hunt, however, expressed themselves as rather desirous that the stock of deer should be reduced to about 5000, than that this ancient and splendid right should be given up entirely by his Lwdship. .NAVAL .

NORTHERN MEETING RACE& The question with regard to the Inverness Race, in 1823, which was referred by the Stewards of the Northern Meeting to the Stewards of the Jockey Club, and excited, front its novelty, an unusual interest in the sporting circles of the south, was decided, some time ago, in favour of the owner of the pony objected to; tbr Jockey Club being of opinion, that the usual mode of measure ment, adopted in other cases on the turf, fell to be applied in this Instance. The decision was no doubt immediately 'complied with, and the amount of the stake paid over. Disputes of this sort, spars siones ludicra, cannot be brought before the ordinary courts of law; but the rule of the Jockey Club to receive no other reference front parties, who fail in complying with their judgments, is timid to be very effectual.
