The men are nut employed out of their common course of time, nor is tire Government pet to any cilia espinse in their equipment.

PLUNDER OF THE SHIP USK BY GREEK PIRATES. We regret to state that the ship Usk, from this pqrt, bound to Smyrna, was plundered on the 29th Oct-by Greek pirites, off Cape Angelo. We have been favoured with copies of letters trout Captain Viaan to his em• ploy era, Messrs. PETER MAGI arid Soo, and from their Correspondents at Smyrna, from which we have et. tracted the following particulars, The first letter is dated Smyrna Bar. Nov. 4. 1827, where the vessel had arrived on the 2d. Capt. VINER says, as they were passing between Cerigo and (itre Angelo, with every prospect of a good run through the Archipelago, a pirate rehooner,ot 4 gunsoind Lull of men, armed with muskets, pistols, and cutlasses, crossed them. and hoisted Greek colours with an English Union. Capt. V. then hoisted English colours, when the pirate hauled down his, and hoisting a black striped flag, came di , reetly towards them firing great guns and small arms into them, and ordering them to heave to, which was done, but they still kept bung, and shot away the foTetop gallant halyards, one ball in the fore-yard, another in the mainmast, and four on the quarter : they then boarded, and took possession. coming to an anchor in 50 fathoms, in a hay about two miles north of C.ipe Angelo. Here they detained the Usk two days, during which they took nut 91 hogs- heads of sugar, and about 70 tens of iron; they also took the new boat, all the bread, and a quantity of store s of various descriptions. They then gave the Captain leave so proceed, directing him to slip the anchor and cable, and drove us off (says Captain %Finer) with as much villainy as they took us. M ijor Nlitoe's Correspondent at Smyrna, in a letter, dated 3.1 November, says, " The pirates in those sea s are becoming more and more daring and numerous, and it is now almost impossible for any vessel not under convoy to escape being plundered. Two days since a vessel arrived from Liverpool, which had a cargo, value 50,0001. taken out.'—aristol Mirror, Dec 15. tIVERPOOI., 1 . 5. • ACCIDENT,—.g s Mr. Roamer OUDICAN WAS driving' a carriage in which w etc his two sis dowOhe Lae from -Nlossley hill to Grernbank, the lusre, 'partied by the noi.e of a t h ras hi ng mill neat Oct'', of t' .e tan off with the vellitie witch was •overttsitied befo e it reached the bottom of •tile hill, whcrehy Mr. DuNcAm had the 011.1 ii bone of his leg broken', and the Ladies w,re also slightly ii.jured. 4 young Gentleman, who was. riding a. spirited horse at rather a rapid pace along the rod, happening to have overtaken the carriage just at the moment previous to the horse starting off, has been erroneously stated to have led to this accident, which Mr. Duncan and his friends, as we hive beets informed, concur with other persons, on the skit at the time, in assigning to the cause above mentioned. SERMON TO IHE CONDEMNED. Yesterday morning, at half--pact ten o'clock, the Rev Mr. Corrori, the Ordinary of Newgate, preached a Sermon in the Prison Chapel, in consequence of the approaching execution of the two unfortunate men who ate ordered to undergo the awful lenience of the law on Wednesday morning ntxt, viz.

OVERTURNING OF THE HaLYHEAD MAJL: • • WELFORD, Northamptonshire, Sunday. Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Talbot Inn, Welintd, touching the death of WN. EGERTON, Esq. Gresford Lodge, Denbighshire, who was killed nn Thursday night list, by the overturning of the Holy head and Chester mail. The first witness called was Peter Banks, the guard to the • Holyhead and Chester mail.

It had ruu on two s!fieels for some distance before it came to the ground ; witness having seen so many accidents of the kind, and being aware of the danger, disentangled Isis legs from the seat, al.d was ready to jump, but before he could do so, the mi,il overturned with a tremendous crash, and witness and the coachman were thrust n to a consider able distance. Mr.J. Herbert, residing at We'ford, deposed that he was crossing a plank, which lies over the Avon from Naseby, wren he saw the mail coming quickly down tie hill towards the bridge. It was coming at a very fist pace, but not more to than it usually came. He looked after it, not supposing there was any danger, but it had not proceeded more than thirty yards when it up• seta-rte thought he heard a cry in rise coach before it fell. Witnesethen went up, and saw Banks, the gturrd, on the ground. He appeared 'el) , much stunned. The passengers having got out of the coach, asked-him to look atter their luggage, which inn ss did, and saw the coach liked up atter the passengers had got out; wit ness then heard some person say that there was ano ther passenger in the coach, and he saw them lift out the deceased and carry him to the inn. The lamps were lighte.l when the coach passed witness. The horses were ire furl gallop; they usually go quickly down'that hill. Witness his no reason for supposing the coachman to be intoxicated ; he is a stranger tos him. Coaotaaa—These mails go at au exceedingly qu:ck rate-down this 101; is it very steep?

He found a dreadful contusion on the left side of the bead, and a bruise or cut on the forehvad; there was also a severe jury of the vertelvz of the neck, which alone was-suf ficient to cause death. Witness searched the pockets of deceased, and found a ucket-book, containing a game certificate, on which was written " wtlliam E , !erton, Esq.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, Dec. 17. We had a large arrival of Wheat, and an immente supply of Flour coastways, which caused a great heaviness in the mealing trade this loaning, still fine dry samples of Wheat supported the prices of this day week ; but there was no demand for the other descriptions. Malting Barley being in large supply, was is. per qr. lower, and but little done at that reduction. Beans and Peas of both kinds were very din/ sale, and a trifle cheaper, there being a large quantity of lath articles at market.
