CALCUTTA, AUGUST 4. The quantity of Cotton which would be shipped to Europe this season, will not exceed 13,000 bags, being about one-eighth part of the ordinary supply. It is understood that none will be forthcoming from Bombay at all this season, and the Natives have come many hundred miles from the interior to re , pur , :hase the Cotton they had formerly sold. NEC ORLEANS, NOVEMBER 16. A report is in tows that the noted privateersman ;arnbi, has been mura•red by his crew on board his -va vessel, off Grand I;:rie, Barataria. i MAL or PIRATI:S.—George Clark, one of the .nv of the Louisa, was tried and convicted at Charle:ton, on the charge of piracy, in robbing seve .4l American vessels, at the Isle of May, in -Novem !),r last. Eight others were tried on the following tty ; three of them were found guilty, viz. Wolf, Braiisford, and Griffin : the two latter were recom ,nended to mercy ; the other five were acquitted. SHELTER FOR THE HO USELESS. An Address to the Public from the General Corn :tee of this Institution will be found in another tof our Paper. The indefinite nature of the un- ' .ortaking rendered some eaplanati•'n necessary con eming the disposal of the large Funds entrusted to .Geis care, and this is the principal object of the Ad to •r , hich it is only necessary to direct the at• .entio^ of the Reader. The same activity and zeal vhich we before noticed, continue to animate the Jl.oceeJings of the leading Members and the Commit .ees. An early Meeting for the purpose of consulta tion, took place yesterday at the Mansion !louse, which was attended by the LORD MAYOR, Sir J. LIJEDGCK, Mr. litcx, and Mr. BODKIN ; and the Ge ieral Committee, at which the Bishop of CHESTER ~reslded, met subsequently at the King's Herd, in :he Poultry. The latter was chiefly employed in ar• angements with the Parish Officers. A letter f; om M r . WATEns, the proplietor of the King's Theatre, was read, offering a gratuitous performance for the :ieneflt of the Institution. Captain OWEN and two other Gentlemen from the Committee for the Relief of Destitute Seamen, attended at the Asylum, and selected sixty-nine able-bodied men to go on board the ships now fitting out at Portsmouth. The doors of the Asyliim, it has been intimated, on account of _he great increase of numbers, will shortly be closed against the admission of new inmates. Trade, we are happy to say, has revives a little in the Manufacturing Districts within the last fourteen .lays. At Glasgow, Paisley, and Manchester, a num , ,er of hands have obtained work, who were out of :mployment. On Saturday, there was a tolerable un of business in both the Cloth Halls at Leeds, and in improvement was experienced in the prices of the -•tier descriptions of Cloths ; Stufs, too, are getting e in demand, and the prices of course are better. THE PuwDs.—The market this morning wears a .oA gloomy appearance. An immense quantity of itock has been brought for sale, and every one ap ')ears eager to sell. Consols opened at 68 1 / 4 for the Account, but soen fell to 68. The reports from Spain are of the most unfavourable nature, and the Spanish houses are anxious to sell at any price. Another rumour has tended very much to depress :he Funds, and that is the alarming state of his I.•%JESTY'S health. Consols, for Money, at one o'clock, were 68 for the Account. Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, the Duke of )(mut left town for Windsor. _ Lord GRENVILLE had a grand shooting party, on tis Lordship's extensive game preserves round his Suffolk seat of Wherstead Lodge, last week : the re turn of the first day's snort was 64. pheasants, 87 hares ; the second day, S 3 pheasants, and 66 hares, of which the Duke of WELLINGTON bagged more Ilan his proportion. CRELTENUANI, JANUARY 23.—A few days since, Mrs. rOTHERINGHAM, the wife of Captain FOTHER INGHAM, Master of the Ceremonies here,. died after few days illness ; and yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, was the time appointed for the funeral, at which time the ilifferent carriages to form the proces sion arrived, but were immediately sent back. on 'being informed that Captain FOTIIERINGIIANI had airnself died only half an hour previous. Ile had I ,eeta unwell only a few days with a sore throat and -Hd (the same complaint as Mrs. FOTHERINGHAM), ' , lll‘‘.ls not considered in danger by his Physicians, who only left him at six o'clock that morning, and at hail-past eight he was a corpse. Thcy will both aow be interred in one grave. This melancholy event has naturally cast a gloom over our previously gay town. COUNTY 07 STAFFORD.--We lately stated that no' Answer had been given to the RequisitioniAs, who had desired a County Meeting to be called, to take into consideration the State of the Suffering Poor, and the Means of Relieving and Employing the ame. We now learn from authority, that a written Answer was sent to Lord ANsoN, as the head of the Requisitionists, on Thursday, the 13th inst. and %‘ltich answer stated the circumstance of a County - ;ubscription having been originated, as the reason .1 the Sheriff for declining to coxrene the County. Among the subscribers to the Requisition, there were, be,ides Lord ANSON, Lords BRADFORD, VER NON, and CaEwc, Sir GEORGE JERNINGRAM, Sir Josrpii SCOTT, Sir ROBERT Pim, Sir J. G. COTE, &c. DEATH. OF THE DIIKE OF KENI. FURTHER PARTICULARS. From the first account of his Royal Highness's , illness, those who were the best acquainted with him felt the most serious apprehensions of the event that has fatally happened ; since the habitual abstinence of the illustrious Duke gave him -such strong and uninterrupted health, as to make him inattentive to the first access of the cold, which thereby gained such a degree of inflammaiion, as to baffle all the subsequent remedies. His Royal Highness, in a long walk, on Thursday se'nnight, with Captain Cox- ROY, in the beautiful environs of Sidmouth, had his boots soaked through with the wet. On their return to Woolbrook Cottage, Captain CONROY, finding himself wet in his feet, advised his Royal Highness to change his boots and stockings; but this he did not do till he dressed for dinner, being attracted by the smiles of his infant Princess, with whom he sat fur a considerable time, in fond parental dalliance. Before night, however, he felt a sensation of cold and hoarseness, when Dr. WILsoN Prescribed for him a draught. This his Royal Highness, in the usual confidence in his strength, and dislike of me dicine, did not take; saying, that he hat no doubt but a night's rest would carry off ever/ uneasy symptom. The event proved the contrary. In the morning, the symptoms of fever were increased; and though his Royal Highness lost 120 ounces of blood from the arms, and by cupping, he departed this life, as we have stated, at ten o'clock on Sunday forenoon. Ilis Royal Highness vas sensible of his approaching death, and met it a ith pious resigna tion. He generously said, that he blamed himself for not yielding to the seasonable advice of Dr.' WILSON, in the First instance, by which the access of the fever might have been checked. Every attention that skill and affection could supply were rendered to him. Prince LEOPOLD, accompanied by Dr. STOCKMAR, arrived at Woolbrook Cottage on Satur day, at two o'clock, and never left his Royal Brother to the last. His Royal Highness was the fourth son I of his MAJESTY, and was born on the 2d of Novem ber, 1767. He was consequently in the 53d year of his age. He was a Knight of the Garter, Thistle, and St. Patrick, Knight Grand Cross of the Bath—a Field Marshal in the British Army, and had, since 1801, held the situation of Governor in Chief of the important fortress of Gibraltar; he was also Colonel of the Royal Scots Regiment of Foot. His Royal Highness had seen much military service, and served under Sir C. GREY, in the West Indies, in the early part of the Revolutionary War, during which time he was present at the reduction of St. Lucie. He was married on the 29th of May, 1818, at Coburg (and re-mai ried at Kew Palace, the 11th of July, same year), to her Serene Highness VICTO RIA MARIA LOUISA, youngest daughter of the late reining Duke of Smus-Coaunc, widow of his late Serene Higness the Prince of LEININOEN, an sister of Lis Royal Highness the Prince of SAXE-COBURG, the chosen husband of our much-lamented Princess CHARLOTTE. The only issue of this marriage was a daughter, named ALEXANDRINA VICTORIA, who was bor n at Kensington Palace, 44th May, 1819. It would be superfluous to expatiate upon the many private virtues of the illustrious deceased, or upon the benevolent zeal with which he exerted him self in the promotion of every charitable object. They are fresh in the recollection of the Public, and the regret which will be felt by all those numerous Societies which enjoyed his protection and aid, may easily be imagined. Nor was his Royal Highness less endeared to his family and friends. The situati•n of his amiable and afflicted Duchess will excite the sympathy of every heart. She was most indefatigable in her attentions upon her departed Consort, and performed all the offices of his sick bed with the most tender and affectionate. anxiety. She did not even take off her clothes for five successive nights, and all the medicines were administered by her own hands. She yet struggled to prevent his seeing the agony. of her apprehensions, and never left his bed-side but m give vent to her bursting sorrow. These mournful duties, though they could not snatch their object from the grave, must at least have smoothed the passage to it ; and the recollection of them will be among the strongest consolations of her widowed heart, when the lenient hand of time shall have soothed the keener pangs of sorrow. The Theatres were shut last night, and will be only shut again on the night of the Royal Funeral, in consequence of his Royal Highness dying at so great a distance from town, and the length of time that will elapse before the Funeral. It was at first resolved that, as usual, the Theatres should be closed till after the Funeral, and an crder to this effect as given in the STAR of yesterday) was sent from the LORD CHAM BERLAIN'S Office ; but, en a representaticn being made, in the after part of the day, of the distress into which a vast mamber cf people, dependent on the Theatres, would be thrown, by so long a sus pension from employment, the order was humanely restricted to two nights, as now stated. The Mourn ing will commence on Thursday next, for one month, and two weeks for the change, according to the re gulations which were established some time ago, with a view to prevent that injury te trade which had been experienced from more protracted Court Mournings. THE KING.. His MAJESTY, we lament, is said to be iri an alarming state. The following is extracted Pram the Windsor Express: - " The Duke of •YORL arrived on Saturday at Windsor, and slept at the• Castle. It is with the drepest regret that we state our apprehensions (but which are founded only OD rumour*, which may arise from the continued attendance of the Duke of YORK on his venerable Parent), that his Mown': is again seri ously indisposed. It is more than probable that the severe weather may have produced alarming effects on , a constitution which must be gradually yielding to the infirmities of great age." THE ARMY. Wednesdky, two companies of the 6th Regiment of Foot arrived in Durham, on their march from Ldinburgh to join the rest of the Regiment, at Leeds.

After sentence cf outlawry was pronounced against Marshall and his wife on Monday, the LORD Auvo• carc represented that the Court had thus had alio cher instance of the conduct of those persons who have lately, in the most daring manner, attempted, by means of circulating blasphemous and seditious publications, to corrupt the minds of the lower or ders in this country, and to alienate their affections from all those civil institutions and religious princi ples, on which their comfort here and their happi ness hereafter necessarily rested. That this was now the third instance, in which persons charged with sedition had shewn themselves afraid to submit their case to the impartial decision of a Jury of their coun trymen, and had evinced, by flight, their own sense of the delinquency committed by them. The Court had pronounced the only judgment competent under such circumstances, namely, that of fugitation, in which the mildness of the law of this country was particu larly striking, when compared with that of our sister kingdom, where persons failing to answer to a charge are held guilty of the climes of which they are accused, and proceeded against accordingly,— His Lordship said, that it was his intention to have moved the Court for a warrant for taking possession of all copies of the blasphemous and seditious works specified in the indictment, which Might be in the possession of the parties complained upon, or of any others for their behoof, in terms of the wise provi sions of an Act of Parliament very recently passed against blasphemous and seditious publications ; but as he found that all such copies u - 'ele already in the hands of the Clerk of the Court, he should confine his application to a warrant to apprehend Marshall and his wife; and he pledged himself, that in this and in . every other case wh ere part ie s s h all fail to give obe dience to the summons of this Court, the utmost exertion should be used for taking them into cus tody, and bringing them to the bar. His Lord ship said, he was persuaded that the frightfully blasphemous and seditious nature of these libels, as stated in the indictment, mu ,t he crnsidered as sufficient, to warrant the motion he then made, in dependent c,f the extent of circu!ation which had been afforded to these libels by the parties accused. Had the trial gone on, there would have been pro duced, in evidence, an account current betwixt Andre Marshall and Richard Carlile, printer, in Landon, that noted character, who was now justly sufferirm the punishment of his crimes. From this account, which consisted of fourteen folio pages, it appeared, that, in the course of a few months, last summer, the number of blasphemous and seditiOus publications 'sent by Carlile to Marshall, for circulation in Glasgow. amounted to sixteen thousand nine hundred and thirty : comprehending The Republican, Black Dwarf, Me dusa, Gorgon, and a multitude of others, the names of which must be unknown to their Lordships, as he trusted that they would still continue to be to the great body of the People of this generally religious and loyal country. From this document it also ap peared that the price of the whole of this mass of publications only amounted to 1:147. The Lord Ad vocate said, that he would not dwell on these parti culars ; he trusted they were su ffi c i ent to justify the motion he then made, and to satisfy tit* most preju diced mind, that the Public Prosecutor had not com menced any judicial proceedings, as connected with the Press, until imperiously and irresistibly called on, with a view to the security of the country. The CouaT immediately granted the warrant thus craved by the Loan ADVOCATE. The PRINCE REGENT, in consequence of the ar rival of the intelligence of the derhise of his Royal Brother, kept himself secluded in Catlton House during the whole of yesterday, except rm . :icing visits of condolence from the Dukes of YORK and CLA RENCE. The Cabinet Ministers, and a number cf Noblemen and Gentlemen, left their names of condo lence at Carlton House upon the melancholy occasion. The family of the late Captain GRIFFITH, of the Marine, consisting,of three enterprizing ;nd intelli gent young men, with their sisters, three handsome and amiable young Ladies, embarked a few da s a g o at Liverpool, as settlers to the Cape of Goad Hope. They take out with them several artificers and agri culturists, under their protection. To the notices formerly communicated relpectin the symptom's of the revival of trade, it may be men tioned, that tallow and pot-ashes have already ri e . in our market, and that the holders of c o•ton yarn refuse to sell at the former prices. We formerly mentioned the vivacity which had partially taken' place in the weaving department. The bleachfields, of course, are considerably thronger, and the cotton spinners are in better spirits. Those credulous pee , ple who doubted for a moment the stability of the Government, and the resources of the ccuntry, are now regaining their coaiider:ce. The hoarded silver is pouring fast into circulation, and there are row e imparatively few complaints of want of change. Glasgow Paper.
