Letters have been received at the Jamaica Coffee. house to the Ist of August, and Papers to the 26th of July, from the North side of the Island of Jamaica, which state, that, in St. Kitts, the question in dispute between the Collectors of the Customs and the Colo nial Authorities, respecting the appropriation of the duties received under the provisions of the New Trade Act, had been set at rest, by the Collectors paying over to the Treasury of the Island the whole of these duties. Frankfort Papers to the 12th, were received this morning, but they possess no interest. The following are extracts : 'tertained of astintimiee. Thertima MID an advance is Picea , I and Conch is in demand. Yarn is Ea* for exportation, and ceders fee manafietured goods have toll received from the Con tinent. Though the prices for our fabric's at the late Frankfort Fair' were Ipw, the sale was brisk, which will of course operate to reduce the quantity of goods in the warehouses in this country. Fortes safely there are not so many operatives unemployed as there were weeks ago, and this eirewhastanoe is the more cheering, as it is hoped that there will be a considerable mitigation of the sufferings of tie workmen before the winter sets In. The good effects of opening the ports are already perceivable, both in this Country and on the Continent, as the interests of both are so intimately blended, that. their prosperity go hand is band, to that there is no cause of jealousy. In Yorkshire there is a considerable demand for those woollen cloths which are worn in winter, and in this branch' of our manufacture there is every day an increased demand for workmen. Wages are still extremely low, but they will advance in proportion to the demand for our fabrics. The Master Silk Ma nufacturers are by no means alarmed at the introduction of foreign silks into this country. They are able, and are prepared, to compete with their foreign rivals, whom they leave at a vast distance in the brilliancy and permanence of the colours which give our silks a pre ference, that is soon likely to drive French silks entirely out of the market, arod it is expected that the importation of the latter will rapidly degrease. The Indicateur de Bordeaux, received this morning, assure us that the French treeps of the division of Cadiz have left their cantonments in that neighbourhood, and stated they are going to embark to return to France. The cavalry and artillery will proceed by the way of Madrid. It is also stated that the Swiss troops are also going to leave, and will be replaced by two rrgiments of infantry and one of cavalry, coming from France. Despatches were received yesterday at the Foreign Office in Downing-street, from Mr. Lassa, Ambassadorat Madrid. The Duchess of Gt.oucasTsa arrived at her residence, Gloucester House, Park-lane, yesterday morning, from her seat at Bagshot. Her Royal Highness paid a visit to the Duke of You, at the residence of the Duke of Ronald+, in artinaton.areeet, and remained a considerable time with her Royal brother. The Duke of YORE was prevented. yesterday, from taking his daily airing by the unfavourable state of the weather. Sr Haessex Tanoe and Sir HIDIRY TORSI:XI transacted military business yesterday with his Royal Highness. His usual medical attendants visited the Royal Duke. Mr. PLA NTA, Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, arrived in town yesterday from Ms seat near Hastings. Mr. LEIGH, of Lymm, near Macclesfield, who pos sesses immense estates in Cheshire, which lie contiguous to those of Mr. Tosses, of Shrigle-park, was on the point of paying his ad dresses to Miss Teatime when she was carried off by Mr. WAKE. nem That circumstance, we learn, put a stop to the preliminaries of so advantageous an alliance, as regards property. The building of the London University, at the upper end of Gower-street, has been commenced. Earl and Countess CoV/PER, accompanied by their, daughter Lady EMILY Cowers, left Melbourne House Whitehall, for Madrid, on a visit to the Honourable Feminism Lon, Am bassador at the Court of Spain.—Mr. Joon MILLSANK, son of Sir Joint Mituswitt, at half past twelve, also left Melbourne House for Frankfort, as Secretary of Legation. FOAGERY.—A young man, whose friends principally reside in a clothing town in Wiltshire, and who are of the most respectable class, has recently absconded, and it is said that he has made his way towards Van Dieman's Land, or America. Several persons are pursuing him in various directions, whose names be has affixed to bills of exchange to a very large extent, and one in parti cular, who has been defrauded by him of a large sum by a forged acceptance. Salt cod fish is now selling at Gravesend and Bil lingsgate markets for little more than one halfpenny per lb. A dashing son of Mars, an Officer in the 92d Regi ment, now lying at Rochdale, went out a few evenings since to " take wine" with a friend. In his return home he was dogged through the streets, for some purpose or other, by a lubberly fool of a lad ; the Officer ' after having in vain warned him to "be off," gave him a sound drubbing with his cane, which made "Goose Gibbie" open his mouth "to some tune." It so hap pened that a very worthy fellow, a bread baker and flour dealer, was preparing to go to bed, and had stripped of his coat for that purpose, but hearing a noise in the street, he went forth to ascertain the cause. The Cap. rain seeing him approach ready stripped, without stop ping to reconnoitre, set him down as an enemy, and, accordingly, as so-n as he came within distance, the bread baker received "a rattler" upon one side of his head, which sent him to the ground. He got up again, however, and down went the Captain in Ms turn. But a butter and bacon dealer then came out; a mighty man, some five feet in height, " to protect his friend," as he said, but the Captain :con gave him a satisfier upon the nose, which sent him - home bleeding and squalling like one of his own pigs. Law, of course, followed all this, but even there the little man could not "save his bacon," having to pay all charges. BOTANY BAY TH TRICA La.—Romeo and Juliet was ore of the earliest performances of the Thespian corps, in that. land of .44 Eminent Personages;'" and the Governor having announced his intention of honouring it with his presence, the Police Magistrate took the very necessary precaution of surrounding the house with a double row of constables, to secure the performance _ . proceeding to a straight-forward close,without that pro lific garnishing of convulsive hiccuping', sentimental sighs, heigh-hos, fainting fits, and other significant tokens of a spiritual overpowering, which had hereto fore prolonged the performances to a very late hour. Things glided on most smoothly till the last scene, 1 where the pensive Romeo was seen staggering towards the tomb of his dear Juliet, vociferating her name in a manner which too evidently shewed how he was affected. To his repeated tender exclamations of Juliet, Juliet I not even a sigh was returned; the audience became impatient: but their murmurs of impatience were con verted into one universal shudder of horror, on Romeo exclaiming, with a wild shriek, "she is dead !" which was soon apparent to the whole auditory, on perceiving her heels sticking up out of the i tomb 1 The fond Romeo passionately seized the protruding members, and dragged her feelingly forth from her place of test— making, however, such a display of her charms in the chivalrous attempt, as forced the Lady visitors to a hasty flight from this "too theatric" sight. All eyes were now riveted on this tragic spectacle of youth and beauty, and " dead, dead !" burst in one unbroken exclamation from every part of the house. 44 Yes," sighed the sentimental Romeo—" dead drunk."

The Duke of Coburg will remove his residence to the pleasant city of Gotha, and hopes are entertained here that his Royal Highness Primer Leopold of Saxe-Coburg (son-in-law of the King of England) will in future spend the greater part of the year among us ; it is cer tain that a bpkndid residence is now fitting up for him. The Duke of Heldburghauaen, who has obtained for his share the rich princi pality of Altenburg, has already removed to Altenburg, with his whole Court. NUREMBURG, Sam 9.

The importation of Grain at Leith still continues, and it has been proceeding, pari paasu, at Grangemouth. Between the 25th August and 4th September, eight vessels loaded with grain, from Riga, Dant:lc, Ham burgh, Bsc. entered that port. Sunday, during Divine Service, information was re ceived at the parish church. of Easthampstead, Berk', that Easthampstead Park-house, the residence of the Marquis of Downshire, was on fire. The noble Mar qui-, attended by his servants, and followed by the principal part of the congregation, repaired to the spot, and after considerable exertions, by cutting off the communication with the main building, succeeded in confining the ravages of the destructive element to the laundry and kitchen, in which it had commenced. Unfortunately, the supply of water was deficient, and much damage must have been done to the furniture and pictures from th.e hasty way in which they were removed from the house to the grounds. It is under stood that the file was occasioned by some flue from the kitchen or laundry having taken fire and burst.— Rasthampstead Park was formerly a royal residence in 1381. Richard IL retired there to recreate himself with hunting. Catherine I, Queen of Henry VIII. re sided here when the King sent some Lords of the Coun cil to induce her to consent to a divorce ; and in 1622, King James I. occupied it for a considerable time. The park and manor are now the property of the Marquis of Downshire. SHEERNESS, SCTFMUR 18. A melancholy accident happened here this morning. A little boy, about Ave or six years of age, fell over. board from the TIERRIBLi, of 74 guns, lying close to the Dock-yard wall. His father, on seeing the acci dent, jumped overboard after him ; and, placing the child on his back, was swimming towards a boat, within a few yards of them, the boy's arms being round his father's neck ; but by some unfortunate cir• cumstance, the boy slid from off the father's back, and his body came round to the parent's front, the child still clinging round the father's neck, by which position it is supposed the man could not use his arms to sup. port himself and child in the eater, when they went to the bottom together, the child with his arms still em bracing the father's neck, and never rose again. It was full an hour, or hour and a half, before they were grappled up, when every exertion was used and perse vered in for some time, to restore animation, by the Surgeon and Assistant-Surgeon of the Deck yard, but unhappily to no purpose. The poor man's name was Gibson, and esteemed by every one in the ship and in the Dock-yard, for his civil and obliging disposition. We are sorry to add, that he has left a wife and four children. This was the third time Gibson jumped overboard to save this very child. CORONER'S INQUEST. --4.- Yesterday afternoon an Inquest was held before J. Ls PIPRI4 Esq. Coroner, touching the death of John Fitch, a prisoner, confined within the rules of the King's Bench Prison. The Jury were composed of persons within the walls, whn, after being sworn, went to the late residence of the deceased, situated No. 10, Crescent-place, Lambeth road. On entering the room the wants of the unfor tunate deceased were obvious; not a bed or bedstead, nay, even a chair was to be seen, and the corpse of the deceased lay stretched upon two deal boxes, covered with a coarse cloth. The Jury returned horror stricken with what they had seen. Mary Barker, widow, sister to the deceased, stated that the deceased had been in the custody of the Mar shal about twelve months, and had latterly been an outpatient of the South London Infirmary. Deceased had had medicines, which of late she bad regularly administered. He died on Sunday morning, at eight o'clock, in her opinion from want. Mary Fitch, the vi idow of the deceased, stated that her husband had formerly been a master coach-builder, in Apollo-buildings, Walworth, but within the last eighteen months had fallen into difficulties, and about twelve months since had been arrested, and confined in the King's Bench Prison. The deceased was obliged to sleep on the seats in the chapel for upwards of two months, with bis clothes on. This was during the win ter; and after he got into a room he was compelled to sleep on the door, for want of a bedstead. He was shortly after taken ill, and petitioned the Duchess of Buccleugh for relief, as she had often heard of the repeated bene volence of her Grace, she called in about three weeks, hut her Grace was out of town; witness and her hus- band were then without common An in- flammation of the intestines soon took place, which in capacitated her husband from attending to any business. Witness applied to the Marshal for the rules.gratis, which was at first refused, but upon a surgeon's certi ficate being produced, the Marshal granted the rules. She then applied to St. Mary's Newington, for paro chial relief ; they at first gave her half a crown a week ; but that being inadequate to their support, she applied for further relief, and they granted an extra sixpence weekly ; and this, with the exception of a trifle given to them, was all they hid to support themselves. She and her husband had frequently existed upon one penny loaf and milk and water day by day. Beef had lately been distributed at the Bench: l )ot the deceased had not been so fortunate as to get any. One of the turnkeys said that the deemed was not upon the poor box, consequently he was nut entitled to the privilege of the donation. Juror—These who were upon the poor box had 201 b. to their share, and did not know law to dispose of it. Witness had sines received a shilling per week from Lambeth Chapel Society Fund, in C h eyne Terrace. Juror—Did the Doctor ever intimate to you that your husband was in want of proper nutriment?—Yes, and the Doctor gave me half a crown to procure some necessaries, out of his own pocket— All we have had to raise upon lately has been 4s. per week. Robert King, landlord of the house occupied by the deceased, deposed that the deceased came to live with him on the 12th of January last, and since that period deceased and his wile had beEn in a state of compara tive starvation; indeed, such had been their distress, that although he was only a journeyman bird cage maker, with a wife and three children to support, he could not find it in his heart to press payment of his rent. Witness now and then, when he could afford it, gave deceased a drop of broth ; they owed him twenty tour weeks' lodging, at 2s. 6d. per week. John Weare deposed that he had known the deceased since 1815. Hearing of his distress he visited him, and occasionally relieved him ; sometimes he took him something nice, which he ate with the voracity of a wolf. Deceased, previous to his going into the Bench, enjoyed a good state of health. Ewen M'Andrews, physician, said he attended the deceased about three months, who had laboured under a disease of the intestines, and an enlargement of one of the glands of the neck of the bladder, and he had no doubt the deceased died of that disorder of very long standing. He visited the deceased generally twice. a week. The Coroner said, as the evidence was gone through, he awaited to record their verdict. One of the Jury said, he thought the wife of the deceased had been very inattentive. The test of the Jury cried " Shame — shame ;• upon which the Juryman replied, that he alluded to het not getting the deceased into an hospital. The Coroner informed him that that maid not be done ; the de. ceased being a prisoner within the Rules, it was out of the jurisdic tion of the Marshal to send him to an hospital. The Jury unanimously expressed their doubts as to the testimony of the physician it had been sworn by several witnesses that the deceased was in want of food, and without common necessaries. The Jury returned a verdict—That the deceased John Fitch died through starvation,.—The Inquest lasted six hours. Thursday nett (being St. Matthew's Day), according to annual custom, the Loan MAyoa, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and Go vernors of the several Royal Hospitas, will attend Divine Service at Christ Church, Newgare-street.
