The following letter has been received by the Chairman of the Ship Owners' Society : Admiralty Office, November 15,182 e. " Sir—My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having re ceived several representations as to the incoswenietice which the maritime trade of this country might suffer, if the law prohibiting merchant vessels from using any - of the colours appropriated to his Majesty's ships were to he strictly enforced, without the al lowance of a reasonable time for making the nee sssss y arrange ments for altering the Signals now in use among merchant ves sels, their Lordships have been, in consequence, pleased to sign a warrant, which they trust will obviate any present inconve nience ; and will allow full time to the Ship Owners to substitute other colours in lieu of Pendants and the Union Jack. " The use of the Jack, as a signal for a pilot, was alrealy au thorised by their Lordships' warrant of the IGth of September lASI ; hut in order to bring the whole subject into one view, their Lordships have thought fit to repeat their permissimi in the new warrant, which will appear in the Carztk of to-morrow night, and of which I now inclose you a copy.

" Whereas by his late %Majesty's Royal Proclamation. hearing date the first day of January, 1801, and by divers Statutes now in force, his Majesty's subjects are prohibited from hoisting, car rying, or wearing, in any of their ships or vessels, his Majesty's Jack, commonly called the Union Jack, or any Pendants, or such colours as are usually worn by his Maja,ty's ships, without particular warrant for their So doing front his Majesty, or hi, High Admiral of Great Britain, or tlt:! Commissioners for exe cuting the office of High Admiral for the time being. " And whereas it has been represented to us, that the Union Jack, hoisted at the top-mast-head (or foretop-mast head of ves sels having more then one mast), is a general and well-under stood signal for a pilot, which it would be inexpedient at pre sent to alter. " We do therefore, by virtue of the power and authority vested in us, hereby warrant and authorize all his Majesty's subjects to hoist the Union Jack at the top-mast-bead of their ships or ves sels, where there is but one mast, or at the foretop-mast-head whom there are.nsfire than one mast, as a signal for a pilot; but strictly prohibiting the wearing or hoisting the said Jack for any other purpose whatsoever, or longer than is necessary for procuring a pilot. - - - - " And ss hereas the proper flags, which by the slid Proclama tion the ships and vessels of his Majesty's subjects are authorised to wear, are not sufficient to enable them to make signals with out the addition of some other colours, We do further warrant and authorize all his Majesty's subjects to hoist on board their ships and vessels, by way of signal only, any colours (except Pendants and the Union Jack) provided such colours shall not be heisted in the place where similar colours are usually worn in his Majesty's ships and vessels. " And whereas it has been represented to us, that certain signals have been heretofore established and agreed upon, and are now in use amongst his Majesty's subjects, wherein Pendants and the Union Jack are employed, and that it would be Inexpe dient to prohibit the use of the said signals, until reasonable time for substituting some other description of colours, in lieu of the Pendants and the Union Jack, he allowed. " We do further warrant and authorise all his Majesty's sub jects to hoist and use, fur signals only, Pendants and the Union Jack, until the first of January, 1824, and no longer; upon and after which day no Pendant is, under any pretence whatsoever, to be hoisted in the ships or vessels of any of his Majesty's sub jects ; nor the Union Jack, except only as before provided, as the signal for a pilot.

We are happy to learn that retrenchment, which has been so long and so justly called for in our Colo• nial Establishments, has at length commenced in Canada.

An affray took place in Brogue-lane, in this town, on Thursday se'unight. in which a man of the name of John Dunn, a hatter, was mortally wounded with a bayonet, and languished in great misery for some days, when lie expired. It is said that the unfor tunate man had, on this occasion, merely pursued his brother, who was drunk, in order to prevent his engaging in a quarrel with a man of the name of Leary, by whom he had been beaten some days before, but, on arriving in the neighbourhood of Luary's house, he was assailei "as well as his brother, who was also greatly beaten.

They have accompanied this flattering testimony with a splendid gold snuff-box. SPORTING LV TELLIGENCE. RANDALL AND MARTIN. This fight is off, in consequence of Mr. Elliott, the backer of Spring and Martin, having sent a letter to Mr. Jackson, the stakeholder, to return hint the X5OO. A meeting took place yesterday at Mr. Jackson's Rooms, in Bond -street, at which 'l'. Belcher and Neat attended, also Randall and Josh. Hudsor. The milling coves are all in an uproar at such unhandsome treat ment. Neate likewise had an intimation that he would not re ceive the forfeit of pl5O. To Neate and Randall it is a serious injury, they both having left established businesses, and having now their training and incidental expenses to pay out of their own pockets. It was the opinion of several amateurs yesterday, that such sort of huntlns.thag must be stopped ; it is quite a new fea ture in the prize ring to draw or sue tor money_before the event conies off. Randall and Neate expressed theißTelves warmly on the subject, and said they would make a point of exposing such conduct in every sporting circle. Randall left Bond-street for Hampstead quite in a rage. Neate also declared, that if he bad received the £l5O, the loss of time and the expenses of training would swallow it all up. BOXINO. There was what theeFaney world term a snug day's play yes terday, in Mellish's Meadows, between Heston and Uxbridge-, thret battles having been fought, two of which proved out-and out. The first was for twenty sovereigns, between Ambrose, the celebrated Wiltshire wrestler, and Weston, Captain Fairburn's man, who was milted and lost some grinders with Flowers, the blacksmith, last September. The first round of the battle, which was fought is an open ring, was cutting and maiming during eleven minutes, mostly in favour of Weston by his quickness, in the absence of science. There was no parrying, because the men did not know how to come it. In a close, Ambrose gave his adversary a tremendous fall. 2. Strong exercise had taken away the first flourish, and the piping system followed. Wtston seemed Gent by the fail, and he b. oke his adversary's by a lucky first hit, and floored him, and he seemed as if suffocated with claret. 5. Ambrose went reeling to the scratch, as drunk as a blc &taxation beadle from a Lord Mayor's dinner, but he ran in and threw bis adversary a heavy cross-buttock. 4,5, and 6, produced no mischief, with the czception of Weston having received a punch on the eye. The meu were too . tired at laborious work. 7. This was the best round in the battle: it bred nine mi nutes, and there was much round heavy hitting on both sides, and the claret flew until the seconds were covered with eery ! 8 and 9. These were manfullyfought, but at the close of the latter Ambrose, whose peepers were nearly gone to gross, threw his adversary so heavily that he was taken off the ground sense less. This lucky throw won Ambrose the battle in 50 minutes, liorxiss ANo BEA RD.—This fight, also for 20 sovereigns, lasted 17 minutes, in which 15 smashing rounds were fought. Hop kins is known at the Fives Court, and has science ; and his ad versary is one of the hard fighting Gypsey tribe, who did his work in the style of Gas in the first three rounds, by a fearless and executing rush. Ile got tired in the fourth round, when Hopkins broke ground,pinked him, and led the rest of the fight. Hopkins won with severe punishment. A yokel fight for a sovereign followed ; being both curs, the King's picture was given to the loser of the second light. HUNTING. The Earl of Derby's Stag Hounds meet on Tuesday, near the Oaks. 41.

UNGRATEFUL ilosarai.—eur Readeri will recollect the case published in the STAG last week, of a country boy, named Allen chell,who was robbed on his way to town to seek his fortunes under circumstances of great aggratation, by a lad named son, whom he generously relieved. The latter was brought up for final examination yesterday,when a remarkable circumstance to* place. An eminent &Meteor, who had transacted busluess several years ago for the celebrated Bob Allen, the brewer, the greatest " whip" °Chia day,reongnised the prosecutor as the ille gitimate son of his dashing client, and at once took the young fellow tni ler his protection. "The poor young man, at themoment he -WA wi h ti's friend, 1:a 1 ndt a farthing in his pocket. The Solicitor some years ago recovered the s• • • of •ES,OOO for the prosecutor's mother, to whom Mr. Allen had been touch at tached, which sum had been left to ber, scrawled on a piece of paper tin his death-bed by that gentleman. Atkinson was fully cimmitted for trial. GUILDMALL.—John ,Tenon, a workman in the empty of Mr. Walker, smith, in Harp-alley, Shoe-lane, was brought up before ' the sitting Magistrate, Alderman Scooter, by Catirriqh, a City offiCetwovito had taken him into custody upon the following charge : Copsey and Weeks, fellow-workmen with the priscinor, had occasionally to go into the room in the manufactory where Sut ton usually worked, and perceived his drawer partly open, and a considerable quantity of smoke issuing therefrom, which, on their inquiring, be at first said proceeded from the 'pop below, but subsequently attributed to his having an article nealing therein in some saw-dust. They suspected, at the time, that he was telling them an untruth, but he shut the drawer, and pre. ' vented their satisfying themselves on the subject. Upon their quitting the room, Copsey chanced to look back, and saw the prisoner in the act, of battering a pewter pint pot, which con firmed bis suspicion that the smoke they bail observed proceeded from the melting of pewter. They consulted with the foreman, and it was agreed, as several pots had been missing front the manufactory, to give notice of the circumstance to Mr. Wuolter too, who keeps the Crown and Anchor public-house, New -street bill, where the workmen were in the habit' of dealing for their porter. Mr. Woolterton and Cadman, the officer, soon arrived, but in the interim Copsey, observing the prisoner run up stairs, and suspecting he was about to hide the metal, fa/lowed, and caught him with the battered pint pot in his apron. Before the Magistrate, Mr. Woolterton stated that he had called at the ma nufactory about half an hour before for his pots, when the pri soner told him they had none of bis, for his boy had been there that miming, and taken them all away. As is usual in cases of fenny, Cadman, after securing his prisoner, went to search his (edgings, where he found from twenty to thirty pawnbrokers' duplicates, all of them for working-tools, which it is suspected, he had stole.' from the manufactory, as a great Humber of tools, some the property of Mr. Walker, and others belonging to dif ferent workman, had lately been missing,. The prison( had 1110.• thing to offer in his defence, nor could he plead, although he has a wife and four children, distress, or even necessary, as an ex cuse for his conduct, as, by the statement of Mr. Walker's fore man, it appeared he was hi constant employ, a good workman, and could, if he chose-, earn four guineas a week, but that he seldom earth half the rnoney, preferring, it ,ho-ld seem, to sup ply the deficiency by these petty depredation!. In order to give Mr. Walker and the workmen an opportu nity to make the necessary inquiries as to the tools pledged by the prisoner, he was remanded. MARLEOROUGM-STREET.—A Gentleman of fortune at the west end of the town, applied at this Office on Thursday se'tinight, fur a warrat t against a dashing Manager of a Minor Theatre, for a fraud, in having obtained L'i 2:0, upon pretence of obtain ing for deponent a situation in his Majesty's Band of Gentlemen Pensioners. Upon inquiry it appeared there was no such situa tion vacant, and the applicant having learned chat the party was about to quit the country immediately, was particularly anxious that the warrant should he executed withot:t delay. In a very few hours a coafictnitial officer contrived to take the Manager into custody, who upon his arrest immediately deposited the amount in cash to ;wide the eecis:on of the Magistrate. The parties shortiy after appeared at the Office, with their Solicitors, and a private examination being requested, the Magistrate en tered his private room with the Solicitors. Here, z . .fter a con siderable time, a compromise was effected, the money returned to the gentleman at whose suit the warrant was issued, and the • Manager set at liberty. One of the parties has since gene to Italy. Bove-riatter.l erterday, P. OsbJriae was charzed with steal ing a Mar:.

UNION-HALL.—Yesterday, Grady, the toll-collector on the Surrey side of the Wa:erloo-britige, was summoned under the 58th of Geo. fl 1. cap. 23, for having ill gaily obv.ructed Mr. Marshall, a professional Gentlewan, in pa•sing through the gate. Mr. Marshall stared, that some days ago he had occasion to go into the Strand. On arriving at the AVaterloo-gate he found he had no cash about him but some farthings, which he had kept for the amusement of his children, and on tendering four of them for the penny roll, the defendant, with much abuse, re, fused to pass him through ; and the complainant was compelled to borrow a penny at a neighbouring tavern, before the defendant would admit him to pats she gate. The defendant denied having used abusive language towards; Mr. Marshall ; but admitted that hr had refused to allow him to pass the toll, nn the supposition that he was not bound to re ceive the farthings in lieu of a penny. . . The Magistrate, on referring to a clause in the above Act, be , formed the defendant that he had subj:cted himself to a penalty cf 51. for his misconduct to the complainant, %silo, he saki, had been exceedingly ill tteated. \ The defendant pleaded hard for a mitigation of the perillty, having, he said, a wife and seven children wholly dependent on him for support. Mr. Marshall interceded for him, and the Magistrate, in con aideration of the family, and also the recommendation of the 'complainant, sentenced the defendant to pay the mitigated pe nalty of U. and costs. A N,aval Officer, who had lost an arm in the service, was charged by his wife with grossly ill using her. The Magistrate made some very severe observations on the defendant'a conduct, and ordered him to be confined till he could produce good bail for his appearance at the Sessions. Mrs. Barnard, the relation cf Mrs. Sarah Crouch, whose dead body was suspected 'o have been stolen by a fellow named John Cousins, with whom she lived, appeared before the Magistrates, and complained that Cousins had been to her house and claimed the coffin of her friend as his property; and, in consequence of her having refused to give it to hint, be had collected a mo b about her house, and insulted hea in the most indecent manner. She therefore begged for advice.
