About ten days ago the Abeona also sailed tor the latter place, having on board 111 passengers: l so that no less than 398 emigrants have been carried out by Dumfries vessels at this time. Of these emLrants, one-half at least are weavers from I.angholm, Cumberland, and other places; who not being altogetii.2.r unacquainted with rural employments, have very wisely exchanged the shuttle for the spade, the axe, or the cross-saw. The other half of the emigrants is made up of lahourers, ploughmen, and small farmers, many of whom have seen better days, and who doubtless felt many a pang as the shores of the Solway were receding from their view, and making the land of their nativity only an imaginary point on the verge of the horizon. It may be proper to mention, that it is now four years since the Jessie began to take nut passengers from this port, and that in the course of that time, she has carried out no less than 794 emigrants, all of whom were landed in safety, excepting one child.

This vessel sailed with $5 passengers on board, of which 17 were children. They were chiefly of the agriculrural class; but among them were some weavers, who, in the present depresped and unpromising state of their occupation, have wisely resolved to exchange the shuttle for the spade.

The following extract of a letter from an Officer on board his Majesty's ship LIVERPOOL, Captain F. A. COLLIER, C.B. stating the success which has at tended the expedition which sailed from Bombay its October, against the pirates in the Persian Gulf: " Rysol kyrna, Gulf cf Persia, December 15, 1819. " By an overland dispatch from Bussira, we send an account of the fall of this place; the first and strongtst the pirates have in the Gulf. When the public dispatch was written, the loss of the enemy was not ascertained. The pirates had 62 pieces of cannon mounted on their works; they left 300 killed and 700 wounded. Our loss was only cu.: Major killed, two officers wounded, and about sixty privates killed and wounded. Our force consisted of 2,300 troops, and of the LivEuroox, EDEN, Captain Liam, and CuaLaw, Captain NV. WA LPOLE.

Dinner was on the table at half-past six o'clock, at which hour Mr. WOOD en tered the room, and was received by the company with the most marked eipressions of respect. He was accompanied by Lord Erskine, ?fr. W. Smith, M.P. Mr. P. Moore, M.P. Mr. Dying, M.P. Mr. Hume, M.P. Mr. D. W. Harvey, M.P. Mr. Whitbread, M.P. and several otter public characters. W. SMITH, Esq. M.P. took the Chair, supported by Alderman Woou on the right, and on the left by Lord ERSKINE. After the removal or the cloth, Non ?obis Dornine, was sung. ie CHAIRMAN then gave " The King, which was drank with three times three. Song—God save the King. The next toast was " The Queen, and all the other branches of the Royal Family," which was drank with the most enthusiastic expressions of applause. The CIIAIRbIAN, after some appropriate introduc tory remarks, proposed " The memory of the Prin cess Charlotte of Wales ;" drank in solemn silence. " The British Navy t and may it ever preserve its proud pre eminence." " The Army of Great Britain; and may it ever prove suc cessful against the national enemy." " Liberty, civil and religious, to all the children of men." The CHAIRMAN, on rising to propose the next toast, observed, that they had paid their respects to all the Royal Family, except two of its illustrious members. His worthy Friend, whose re-election they had met to celebrate, had been honoured with the friendship of both the illustrious individuals to whom he had alluded ; but the survivor was particularly entitled to a tribute of respect from that company. He therefore begged to propose " The health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex:'—Drank with three times three. The CHAIRMAN then begged that all present would fill a bumper to the toast which he was about to give, for he meant to propose the health of a man to whom, he would venture to say, there was not an individual present who was not indebted either di rectly or indirectly. The old among them would recollect his exertions in the management of a cause of no little importance which had been entrusted to him; and the youngest could not have forgot his important and successful en,leavours, either at the bar of justice, or in the two Houses of Parliament, in defence of the liberty of the subject, in defence of freedom of speech, in defence of trial by jury, on the Subject of the law of libel ; in short, in the defence of those rights and privileges which were essential to the happiness :of his fellow-countrymen— Loud cheers). He concluded •by proposing " The health . of Lord Erskine." The toast was drank with three times three, and the applause which accompanied it continued for some minutes. Lord ERSKINE said he was deeply affected, and at the same time highly gratified and obliged, *by the notice which had been taken of him.• lie had been nearly forty years a Citizen of London, though he was not a Freeman of the City ; if he had been a Liveryman, he should have tendered his vote for bis worthy Friend, Alderman Wood, and have argued the legality of that vote, which, though it could not hilve been of great service, would still have placed him one higher on the poll. After the eminent ser vices of the worthy Alderman as Chief Magistrate of the City—services which had been acknowledged in ite mast tt;iens i i;N., 411 tbnahr y ten°, . , nnect lanner by JU'Citk and after having represented the City faithfully in Parliament, on the avowed principles which first 'placed him there; it was a proud tritimp?r to himself, and to the principles on which he acted, to be akain. returned by the free suEragi.ss of the Livery of Lon *dOn—(Aeanse). He (Lord Erskine) felt himself highly honoured by the manner in which he had been noticed by his Honourable Friend in the Chair, and by the company. The " Trial by Jury," with which his name had been connected in so flattering a manner, was indeed the great bulwark of national liberty, for without it the Press could not be free, and without a free Press the country could nOt be free—..-(Leud app/intse). About forty years ago, when the Press inculcated the necessity of free and independent Parliaments, and when published his celebreed Dialogue on Parliamentary Reform, a combination was formed against it, and all the rowers of corruption were leagued toether for the destruction of this mighty engine of freedom ; but, drank Goo ! the hydra was crushed beneath its feet—( Great applause). The necessity of Reform could now' be no longer denied ; and he was con vinced, that, it the great mass of the people calmly united in the support of that cause, it must ultimately triumph—( Loud cheers). He sincerely hoped that it would nut be defected till that period when evils might become so great as to he insupportable. The Noble Lard then adverted to the Revolution in Spain, and. remarked, that Ferdinand, by a timely attention to the just demands of his subjects, might have con tinued to be one of the greatest Monarchs in Europe, and might have retained the Sovereignty of South America. Ferdinand, however, seemed_to have acted just like Gil Bias, who remained in the cave when he could not get out of it, and got out when he could not vermin longer in—( Langhter and applame).— His Lordship concluded by observing, that as this was the King's Birth-slay, he thought he could not testify his attachment to his Majesty in any better manner than by atten.ting on the present occasion to show his respect for a man, who had in Parliament been an advocate for t:,ose principles which placed his Majesty's family on t!)e Throne—( Applause). The next toast was—" Success to the cause of Spanish freedom in Europe, and to independence in South America."—Drank with three times three. The CHAIRMAN then proposed—" The health of the Right Hon. George Tierney, and the friends cf the people, in the House of Commons."—Drank with three times 41 , ree. Messrs.Woon,ByNG, WHITBREAD, Moofta, Humg, and II A RVEY severally returned thanks on theii health. being thank. Mr. Hume, in adverting to his recent election for the Aberdeen District of Burghs, observed, that the whole influence of the Crown, and all the wealth of the Treasury, had been arrayed against him. A per. sonal friend of-the King's, possessing an immense fortune, and supported by every corrupt interest, had been opposed to him; and yet he had, single handed, obtained a most signal triumph—a circum stance which could only be accounted for by the goodness of the cause which he had represented. The whole population in that district of Scotland had evinced as much ardour in his cause as it was pos sible for himself tosfeelt and strong was the sen sation occasioned by popular feeling, that the Magis trates of one of the five Burghs which he represented, although they were disposed, and had actually re solved, to vote for Lis opponent, had found it neces• nary, in deference to pubiic feeling, to reconsider the übjecc, and ultimately to vote for him, in opposition to their own inclination. This state of public senti. ment in Scotland would appear the more remark. able, when it was considered, that, for the last thirty. five years, that part of the kingdom had crouched at the feet of the Melville's—had been a mere obsequi ous appendage to that family—and had returned to Parliament, with one or two exceptions, the most abject tools of Government—(Loid Erskine nodded assent).—This change in the feelitrgs And sentiments of an intelligent people, who•had never before taken any interest in political questions, taught a lesson respecting the nature of the tunes, and the necessity of making concessions. After several other toasts and addresses, the com pany broke up at a very late hour. Cambridge University Address on the KING'S Ac cession, will be received by His MAJESTY on Friday next,. the 28th, at - three o clock. The Members of the University who propose to attend, are requested to meet at WlLLts's Rooms, King-street, St. James's, at one (add not at three, as stated by mistake in a former Paper), dressed in Court Mourning. Mr. WEBB will provide Gowns to such Gentlemen as are unprovided. The fcundation stone of a new and elegant Church, to be built in Mune, for the Parish of Kilmadock, Was laid on the Bth inst. by the Right Hbn. the Earl of MORAY, principal heritor of the Parish, assisted by the Doune St. James's Lodge of Freemasons. It appears that the unfortunate Dr. O'Halloran, reached Port Jackson safely, as a poetical effusion, written by him off the Coast of New Holland, appears in the Sydney Gazette of July, 1819. The Earl of Powis has now at Powis Castle, seven . cub foxes, which were whelped a few days a4n by a bitch fox, which was run to ground by Mr. SMITH'S hounds, and taken out alive. BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S YESTERDAY.
