They took possession of the Alligator, plundered bad everything useful, and treated the people, particularly the Nosier, in the most shocking manner. At last money was fiend on board, and being satiefied with it, they suffered the brig to pursue her voyage in that state, but, in endeavouring to act frbm the shoals and rocks where she had been detained, she snick on a rock and bilged. The Master and crew took to their ksg-boat, and were fortunately picked up by the Narcisse, and leseght i:tto this port. EASTPORT, Sera our last we mentioned the arrival of the brie indien Chief, Certain Seamy. LERMAN, from Kingston (J.maica), a,14.1 hkewisre stated that he was robbed of 2200 dol lars; since which Captain MUM?. has furnished us with a par ticular account of the barbarous manner in which he and his crew were treated by the pirates, as has also Captain &SWART, late of the schooner I . Ahdere, who was a passenger on board.— It appears that they were all threatened with death, and several balky cut and bruised. In addition to the 3.200 dollars, Capt.

Taal Captain of the Caledonia was the first person that WAS knocked down, after which all hands were put in the forecastle, and Captain WA sees and the mate plun dered of everything, and the vessel robbed of 85 boxes of candles, and her small boat. They, however, on the text morning, reco vered 33 of the boxes, and expected to get the remainder, by the circumstance of one of the gang turning evidence agai::st the others. Capt. Smite, of the Ajax, of Philadelphia, was robbed the same night of about 1000 dollars worth of property. There had been seven or eight other vessels robbed, both at sea and in the harbour of liamannah, within the space of a week, and the like depredations are nightly committed. Sam 2 6.—Pnuer.—Mr. Gcosce Fxrr, wko was a passen ger in the schooner Evergreen, previous to her capture by the pirates, has arrived at Charleston (South Carolina), front Ila wallah. While on board the piratical vessel, he asked the First Lieutenant where they were lamnd ? to which he replied, that they would carry the schooner (Evergreen) to the same place where they had carried two other American vessels about twelve days previous. The piratical vessel afterwards fell in with the snack Two Brothers, of New York, bound front Ilavannah t, Tortugas, which hove to after about thirty muskete were ar e ( ' at her. Mr. ELFE requested the Captain of the privateer to permit him to go on board the smack, to which he con- Rated, but would not suffer him to take an article of the pro pent belonging to him, consisting of clothing, books, quadrant, cb:ltb bedding, tsze. leaving him only one shirt, one pair of I Lblrsirs, and one jaeker, saying that was plenty for him.— !IL Etre has stated the principal facts of the capture of the leverareen, and has farther furnished the Editor of the amanita& " . *itier with th e f ' r ow i ng li st o f p i ra cies., committed in the vi- Ciaay of th e Ilreesinah :—The schooner -Hatch, arrived at Ha vre:oh from Phil.:delphia on the 29th ult. was boarded e ff the Umble.headed Shot Keys, by a small piratical vessel, of about Ira tons, and ni-eneil by twthe men, who robbed the ..;hooner every article they could lay their hands upon.—The herma phrodite brig Dolphin, of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, ar rived on the tatth, was boarded off Cape Antonio, by a schooner of shout ea tons, merised with 20 men, who at-ached the vessel for muney, splitting open the Captain's writing-desk, and corn- Ming other exc...wits ; the Mate received several stabs in the Dick, • d I t he men were severely heat, and hoisted up by the reek to compel the m to disc,wer where money was concealed.— A Dutch brig, and a New York schooner, arrived on the eeth, tad lesth been plundered of rigging, clothire., provisions, aec. 4 .1 brig, arrived on the 29th, was boarded off Cape Au by a scho 'tier ot about to cony; was TIAPOW4 N*lll main -hat.:im ay, the crew bat most ummrcifully, and 'he brie robbed of every article they could lay their hands upon. Comm(On,e MURRAY, tile oldest Officer in the Attetican \, s y, dicon the 10th ult. At New York. rl UARDIAN SOCIETE Yesterday the Annual Meeting of the Guardian Society was held at the Mansion-House, the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR in the Chair. The object of this Society is to provide an asylum for unfortunate females discharged from prison, where they may receive support and instruction until such time as they are judged fit to become again use ful members of society. The Meeting was not very numerous, but all who were present appeared to be highly respectable. The Secretary having read the Report, The Rev. D. Ruataat rose to move that it should be received and printed. He felt some reluctance in coming before them at so early a stage of the pro ceedings; but his reluctance did not arise from any objection to move the Resolution with which he should conclude—namely, that the Report should be adopted and printed. The times in which they lived were peculiarly distinguished for the efforts that had been made to promote the spiritual welfare of all parts of the habitable lobe, by the distribution of the Holy Scriptures. Ihis was the object of the nu merous Meeting yesterday, in the same place where he had now the honour of addressing them. But 1 while they were thus laudably employed in their en deavours to communicate to all ranks of society and to every part of the world the means of moral in struction, it would be a very culpable neglect if they' were to be unmindful of the -morals of their own metropolis. At present, it abounded more than any other metropolis in that species of moral depravity' s for ninth it was the object of this Institution to pro vide some remedy. By lessening, if they could not entirely eradicate, this great evil, a most important 1 service would be rendered to society; for it might be said, that it led to every other species of crime. The laws were inadequate to suppress it. It was true that a Magistrate might commit to prison those unfortn nate females who were brought before him; but sa l far was this from producing reformation or leading to a beneficial result of any kind, that it only rendered those who were subjected to such punishment more hardened than they were before, and rendered them more ready for the perpetration of every species of crime and mischief. Even admitting that an unfor tunate female, after imprisonment, became convinced of the error of her ways, and desired to forsake them, I how could she do so wi thout the assistance of some such Institution as this, to provide her with the means of making out an honest livelihood? There were seventy-three unfortunate creatures discharged at the close of the last Sessions. This was the case every eight weeks ; and though in the discharge of a me lancholy and arduous duty, he felt himself called upon to exhort them to abandon their immoral courses, he was convinced, at the moment he thus addressed them, that what he recommended was, under their circumstances of utter destitution, en tirely impracticable to nine out of ten. He recollected the case of a young man who had been discharged some time back: he informed the Judge, that he was willing, if he could get work, to obtain his living in an honest way. The answer of the Judge was, that he had it not in his power to provide him with work. No doubt, it was impossible for any Judge, or any individual, to provide all persons similarly circum stanced with work, or to afford them the means of returning to moral and industrious habits; but the Public could, and ought to afford those opportuni ties. Prison discipline could ultimately prove of no general utility without Institutions such as this. They were an essential part of prison reform. Withont some such plan, it would be impossible to effect any lasting good. It might be said, that the object of such a Society could not possibly be fulfilled ; but if the evil could not be completely removed, was it not possible at all events to lessen it ?—to drive it into darkness, and prevent it from obtruding at every moment on public notice, and from spreading moral contagion by the force of example? There was no argument in favour of religious instruction that would not apply in full force to the support of such an Institution as this. How then could they better provide for the morals of the rising generation, than by driving from the public streets, as far as it could be done, those inducements to depravity and vice which now met them wherever they turned?—How better could they follow the example set by CHRIST„ than by selecting such individuals as objects of mercy ? The Rev. Gentleman concluded by moving, that the Report should be received and printed. The Rev. Mr. MORTIMER seconded the motion. He felt fully persuaded, that it was their bounden duty in this world of sin, to do everything in their power to alleviate human woe, and if ever there was a Society calculated to attain so desirable an object, it was the present. It was not according to her vic tories, her commerce, her arts, or her wealth, that GOD estimated a nation, but according to her rank in the scale of morality. This, and this alone, was true greatness in the eyes of Him from whom proceeds all good gifts. A nation, therefore, professing the doctrines of CHRIST, should do everything in their power to diminish moral evil. If those who spent their time and their wealth in criminal indulgence, in the seduction of the innocent and unprotected, if they could be made conscious of the incalculable evils they thus inevitably draw, not only on the un fortunate victims of seduction, but on society at large, it was impossible that they must not be torn by re morse. Feeling desirous to aid such a Society, GOD forbid that he, or any person of the same profession, should plead for the crimes of those unfortunate fe males. He did not plead for their crime, but for mercy to the crime into which they had been seduced through inexperience, or perhaps want. It might be said that they wets unworthy of pity, that they were insensible to their situation, and felt no desire to for sake it. But however depraved they might be, weie there not moments in which their better feelings re turned—moments in which they called to mind their 1 days of innocence—Lin which they wished that such days might return again? Had they no feelings when brought by disease and misery to the brink of the grave? Perhaps at the moment he was address ing them, one of those wretched beings was breathing her last in a garret or in a cellar, without a friend to support or assist her in her last hours ; tortured both with thoughts of the past and fears for the future.— ' How many, thus forlorn and destitute, might, through the benevolent exertions of an Institution like this, be restored again to health, to useful industry, and ow -ITA habits. In such a case as this, it was important I not only to talk but to do. Spenches would be of no _„ . • . Oak West they led to something Snore, unless t hey led the way to those liberal donations, without which 'the objects of the Society could not be accomplished. He recollected the case of a highly respectable mer chant, who met with disappointments in business : his friends on 'Change expressed their regret on the subject, they said he was a very honest man, they regretted his failure, they were sorry for his losses, and thus they went on, till one blunt worthy man said it did not signify how much they talked, but what they were ready to do—that he would give £lOOO. They also were called apon, not merely to talk, but to give something. They might be sure that their contributions would be disposed of in the most economical way. There was no extravagance • in the management of the funds ; this would appear from the average expense at which each individual was supported, not amounting to more than about ss. 6d. a week.—The Resolution was then put and carried unanimously. The Rev. Mr. J. MORRISON, after a short and ani mated speech, concluded by proposing a Resolution, approving generally of the objects of the Society, and expressive of the good consequences it was likely to be productive of. The Rev. J. CAMPBELL was also glad to bear his testimony to the good practical effect which attended the progress of the labours of this Society. Ile re membered when in one of his journeys about 300 miles in the interior of Africa, he met the Chief of a tribe of savages, who eagerly sought from him the instruction which white men have ; that was the way in which he made his request. He visited the town of this Chief on the following morning, and saw the wretched state of the place. Everything lay exactly in the same state as when Noah's flood left it—( A laugh, and cries ef " Hear").—Not a spade appeared to have penetrated the ground since that remote time. The men and women had no covering but a few black rags like sheep skins. None of the males appeared ever to have been washed since the time they were born. They were all ignorant even of the name of Goo ; and the oldest of them confessed he knew nothing more than the beast. He immediately sent tin instructor among these poor people, and the I most ample success attended his labours. In ascending the same country, after an absence of five years, how l great was the change which he had the happiness of contemplating. The people he met all knew him and recognized him : he found they had encompassed their town with a strong and substantial wall in imi tation of brick, and about two miles and a half in circumference. They had erected two streets; vege tation of every kind had grown up about them ; and both males and females were as neatly dressed in the European style, as the general class of servants in England. The display of the advantages of industry in a practical manner was, he thought, the only way of civilizing savages; to attempt to civilize barba rians by philosophy, was like fighting Goliath with a feather. It was because he thought the Guardian Society went the proper way to work moral reforma tion among the idle and the dissolute, that he cor dially approved of their principles, and had uniformly devoted to them his support—(App/ause). Major STRATTON, in coming forward to propose the next Resolution, said, that he concurred in the different eulogies which had been passed upon the objects of this Association by the speakers who had preceded him. The worthy Gentleman, after calling on the Meeting to subscribe liberally to the objects of it, propo sed the thanks of the Meeting to the Duke of Sussex and the Duchess of Wellington, the Patron and Patroness of the Society. The Rev.Jaatz BUNTING seconded the Resolution, which was put from the Chair, and carried unani mously. Thanks were then gioen to the Lord Mayor, who replied to them in a short and eloquent speech : after which the Meeting dispersed. A Resolution was moved by Lord SUFFIELD, and unanimously agreed to by the Magistrates, at the Norwich late Sessions, recommending that workmen's wages should be paid not later in the week than Fri day, with a view to the better observance of the Sab bath, and to enable the poor, to make their purchases without its violation. A few nights ago, the Welsh Chapel in Little Guild ford -street, Borough, was robbed of the plate, orna ments, &c. used in the performance of Divine Service. 'This is the third time within a few months that the same Chapel has been rob Led in a similar manner. Within the last fortnight, no less than nine Churches in the North of Ireland, including those of Seagoe, Lisburn, Derriaghy, Tullylish, Loughbrickland, Dro mara, and Warringstown, have been robbed—in all cases, of the same articles, namely, the communion cloth and cushions. The communion-cloth of the Church of Seagoe was very valuable. Wednesday night, as James Riley, a labouring man, residing in the Mint, Southwark, was proceed ing through White Bear-garden, on his way to his lodgings, two men with their faces disguised, way laid him, and beat him with bludgeons, without the slightest provocation, till they left him for dead, with his jaw and three of his ribs broken. They were not thieves, as they left his watch and a small sum of money which he possessed, without disturbing either. The poor man was conveyed to the Hospital, and he is declared out of danger. Wednesday evening, a little before dusk, as Ema nuel Josephs, a Jew clothesman, residing in Fish monger-alley, High-street, Borough, was proceeding from Newington, across the ruins, to the King's Bench prison, four fellows stopped him, and demanded to have his money and clothes-bag; and one of them threatened that if he made any noise the matter would be worse for himself. The Jew attempted to rush by, but was struck in the neck by one of the ruffians, and knocked down; however, he regained his feet, and made a second effort to escape, on which another of them made a violent thrust with a clasp knife at his shoulder, cut through his great coat, body coat, and shirt, and inflicted a deep wound. He im mediately soared out for help; but his cries were soon silenced by the robbers knocking him down ; and whilst two were engaged in rifling his pockets, the others held a handkerchief over his mouth, and prevented him from giving any alarm. They took from his possession about forty shillings in silver and halfpence, one sovereign, and his clothes-bag, with which they decamped towards Kent-street. Josephs followed them crying, " Stop thieves!" by which he attracted the attention of J. Smith, one of the Borough constables, who joined him in the pursuit; but not withstuuJing their united efforts, the gang escort'. SPORTING iN7ELLMENCt. BETTING AT NE%VIIARKET. MATCH'''.

Last week the Earl of Powh's gamekeeper shot, on his Lord ship's 3lontford estate, near Shrewsbury, a mike partridge, ex cepting two grey feathers on the tip of each wing, and a very few grey ones intermixed on the breast, resembling the horse-shoe on a cock-bird.

BURNS. We noticed, on Wednesday, the presettation of at pair of silver candlesticks, &c. to the relict of Buhmi, the Poet, by some of his admirers in Yorkshire, who lately formed themselves into a Society for the pur -1 pose of celebrating his Birth-day. The following letter-has since been addressed to the Society by the widow of the Bard: " Dumfries, October 2.5. " Grattan:to—With the most lively feelings of gratitude, I offer you my best thanks for the • very handsome present I have received by the hands of Mr. Brown—a present *hick combines so much elegance with usefulness. and which I can chew to my friends with pride and pleasure. I shall carefully preserve this interesting gift while I live; and when in the course of nature it passes into the posses,ion of my children, I need not say that it will be equally prized. The value of this elegant gift is much enhanced by the tribute paid to the memory of my husband, from the pen of a poet not less celebrated for his talent than for his philanthropy. I must at the same time acknowledge my thanks to Mr. Brown, for the very handsome manner in which he presented this flattering mark of your attention. That the Society to whom I am so much indebted may long be united by all that warmth of feeling and love of country which so emi nently distinguish Scotsmen, is the sincere wish of " Gentlemen, your gratefully obliged " JEAN BURNS. " To the Members of the Burns Society, Sheffield." The Dumfries Theatre opened last week, under the management of Mr. H. ALEXA NDlitt.

(said his Lordship) I remember when the Duns used to drive you !" Mr. Gaoacit &mu, who died the other day on the Terrace of High -street, Mary-la-bonne, is said to have left property to the amount of a million sterling. Monday evening last a fine hare plunged into the tallow copper of 11r. TRICKER, of Bury, whilst his man was in the act of dipping candles, and was in stantly caught. Yesterday morning, about seven o'clock, the neigh. bourhood of Old Gravel-lane, Ratcliffe-highway, was thrown into great confusion, by the discovery of a fire in the extensive corn-mills belonging to Mr. Gtosa, an eminent flour-factor. The devouring ele ment appeared to be making rapid progress, but by the timely arrival of engines, and a plentiful supply of water, it was subdued ; the premises and an im mense stock of wheat were unfortunately destroyed.
