At a late hour this forenoon we received . %German bringing Frankfort Papers to the 20th instant.' The only article of the slightest interest they contain is another version of the recent naval engagement between the Turks and the Greeks, from a very ques tionable source, the Oriental Spectator, in which it is, stated that eighteen Greek vessels were observed to be wanting, but the fate of them was unknown. An article f►om Zante states, that three towns in the 'lorea, which were occupied by the Greeks, had al ready surrendered to the Turks. ArKu. 13.—Metallique, 743 ; Bank Shares, 666• Quebec Papers have arrived this morning to the I:3Lb of March, from which we give the following: QUEBEC, MARCH 12. There are now building in this port six square rigged vessels, amounting to abOUt 1,600 tons of shipping. The men employed for that purpose ex ceed 140, and the wages given range between 3s. 6d ~.111.1 4s. 6J. per day. This employment for unsettled labourer., almost the only one, except that given at the King's wo: ks, has afforded substantial relief to many poor families. It is, no doubt, RI the powe of persons having capital to employ it, during our severe winter, and when labour is so scarce, both ad. vAntageously to themselves and to the labouring classes, who are in many instances reduced to abso lnte want, and who, notwithstanding what is daily said to the contrary, are, in general, very unwillingly forced to appeal to the public kindness. The Autora, of the 45th March, contains the fol. lov. ing reti.a: ks on the documents l ate ly comlnuni ca:ed to Congress : _ _ _ •• In relation to the transactions in Ulna, thedficial accounts go farther than we have done with respect to the conduct of (kneral Sc. Martin and Lord Cochrane, both of whom the oa c:al di-patches bold forth in a point of view that is odious; though there are some points which are not yet sufficiently elu cidated to found a positive judgment upon. Perhaps it may not be amiss to refer to those transactions thrown upon Admiral Cochrane : for example, he was ordered by St. Martin to strike the flag of Chili, under which helpless commissioned, and to hoist the flag of Peru—the Cross and of the Sun. Cochrane absolutely refused and returned to Chili, and after making his report, hailed in pur , uit of some Royal vessels. It is statel, by the way of Mexico, that I.erd Cochrane has signified his intim tiin to retire and to rt turn to Europe; and that Commodore 3flar.co is to take the command. Commodore Blanco is a near rtlation to Colonel Cortes,•lately arrived from Mexico on a mis sion to the United States ; and the Ambassador, of whom he is the precursor, is also a family connection, that is.

Testerday the dispatches for China, by the ship Princess Amelia, were closed at the East India }louse, and delivered to the Parser of that ship. Extract of a letter from the American Consul at Kinsale, dated Monday evening : aOn my arrival here this morning, I was informed the truly melancholy fate of a fine American ship, the Albion, Cap tain Wuzians, bound from New York to Liverpool (one of the packet-ships) : she lost her masts last night, about ten o'clock, and about three this morning struck' on a ridge of rocks to the westward of the Old Head, near Garrett's-town, and went to pieces: one of the Mates and six of the crew reached the shore, with one cabin passenger, a young Gentleman, of Boston, and,, melancholy to relate, poor Captain Wit.t.tasts and the rest of his Cabin passengers, 15 men and 7 Ladies, met a watery grave. " The Albion was a fine ship of nearly 500 tons burthen : I understand there WAS a large sum in specie on board. I hear a few bales of cotton have also come on shore.—l'our's, in haste, " JACO! MARK, Consul, U. S. A." The following extracts of letters were received yesterday evening at Lloyd's " Kinsale, April • It becomes our duty to convey to you the mel ancholy intel ligence of the total loss of the ship Albion, off the Old Head.— This morning, having carried away her masts, she was driven on a ridge of rocks, and went to pieces. By great exertions some of the crew and one passenger were taken off a pan of her deck that was driven under a high cliff. We lament to say, that twenty-one cabin passengers, among whom were seven La dies, together with Captain Wittiams, and the rest of the crew, perished a few trunks belonging to some of the passengers were saved. The writer, who has just returned from the spot, bas nude arrangements to have the bodies burled." " Wellington, April 22. " About eleven o'clock last night the bark Esther, belonging to Liverpool, Wn.xuat °nut SAD master, on her voyage from Charleston to Liverpool, laden with cotton and rice, was lost off the tower of Hook Light-house, in the county of Wexford. She came on shore in very bad wea ther, went to pieces in a few mi. nuts, and her wreck is now strewed along seven miles of coast. No vestige of the rice appears. Very few bags of damaged cotton are saved, and but little of the materials of the vessel.— The Captain, first and second mates, and five hands, drowned; (fee hands saved.---Same night, and nearly ma the sante spot, the Sandwich, Milford packet, was also lost, and every person on board perished." - The Isabella, from Cork to Glasgow, was lost on Caron Point, near Wexford, on the 21st instant. Two of the crew, and three passengers, drowned.

EMIGRATION. DUMFRIES, APRIL e 23. Sunday last the Thomson's Pacquet, bound for Quebec, left Glencaple Quay with 145 passengers ; and on Wednesday the Elizabeth will sail for St. John's, New Brunswick, with 118 passengers, making in all an emigration of 263 persons from this side of the river. Of these the greater number may be de scribed as natives of the lower district of Dumfries shire ; but the higher districts, as well as Wigtown shire and the Stewartry, have also furnished their quotas. In the present groupe of 263 persons there are very few tradesmen; by far the greater num ber have been bred as farmers and farm-servants, and some of them possess considerable property. One eco nomical veteran, who wears " a sark scarcely gude eneugh for a linseed-bag," carries out with him £l2OO in sovereigns : and there are numbers that can muster £5O, £6O, £7O, and £lOO sterling. At the same time it must be confessed, that there are others who will be altogether pennyless by the time they reach the Ame rican continent ; but most of these have " some friend, or brother there," at whose suggestion they have gone out, and to whom they look for temporary assistance. The Pacquet and Elizabeth have also shipped, amidst a world of luggage and a good assortment of agri cultural implements, up wards of1:4000 worth of goods, chiefly purchased in this town and neighbourhood.— An excellent bull, and cow and calf, and a great va riety of grass seeds, quick -sets, young trees, &c. have been sent out agreeably to the order of the Agricul tural Society of Charlotte County, New Brunswick, who appear bent on improving the husbandry of that rising colony. One wealthy farmer from this neighbourhood, who some time ago purchased a pro perty in St. John's, has taken out a horse with him, on which he pays a duty of £5 ; and indeed we re gret to say, that for every ox exported the Custom house tax is £l, and for every co* 10s. sterling. But in spite of obstacles of this nature, there are few places that are improving so rapidly as Sr. John's, New Brunswick. Within the last two years more than 200 houses have been built in the capital ; and at present Government are erecting a suite of Bar racks en such a scale, that the Elizabeth carries out 100 tons of freestone flags for making hearthstones, &c. for the Officers' rooms. Last night we were fa voured with the sight of a letter from St. John's, dated so late as the 12th of last month, by which it appears that spring has set in about two months earlier than usual. In America, as in Britain, the season throughout has been remarkably mild, and from the state of the rivers, the writer of the letter alluded to expected that the saw-mills would be in full operation in the course of twelVe days.—Durnfries and Galloway Cowri t.

BOXING. Tile!day last, the match between George Coil Mani, of Canter; bury, and a man of the name of Stone, who travels the country with brushes, &c. took place in the marshes near Fordwich. A great number uf persons from that city and neighbourhood flocked to witness the combat. About twelve o'clock the men, attended .by their seconds; ehtered the ring, Couitham appearing first' shortly after followed by Stone. After exchanging the usual tokens of defiance, by Outliving up their hats in the ring, the men shook hands, and the fight cornmer.ced: Betting at the onset was nearly even; bin rather in favour of Coultham. In the opinion of some, the superior weight and strength of Cot& thane gave him the ad vatftege, while others took Stone for choice; is consequence of his activity and known bottom. The men coin mowed in right earnest, and, after a despetat , ' and well iought battle which lasted one hour and fifty-four minutes, victory was declared in favour of Coultham. The various rounds we:re wed' contested, particularly on the part of Stone, and were fifty-seven in number. A severe blow in the" throat in the 53d round de cided the fight, from the effects of whiek Stone fell with the hind part of his neck on the rope's, and although he afterwards fought tour rounds; never completely recovered ; but he proved himself decidedly the best fighter, though not equal to Coulthim• in strength. Both men were much punished. The company, whic4 wis numerous, were highly gratified with their day's diversion! • FATAL-BOXING, At thiee &Hoek yesterday afternoon an inquisition was take* before J.
