We must correct an error into which the Papers run iw reporting what passed in the two. Houses on Thurs day. None or the Noble Lords called the two Houses d Convention the two Estates of the Realm, but con only spoke of them by the general name of the States, ache Estates of the Realm. At a late hour last night, we received Menireurs to the 10th instant. They say nothing respecting the affairs of the Peninsula ; but they present a singular detail of a naval operation of the enemy, which seems to demand investigation. It is positively asserted in Paris that the 2d daugh ter of the Emperor of AUSTRIA is about to be married ID IF.RDINAND VII. King of Spain, who is to be re istated on the Throne of Spain, upon such conditions IS BONAPARTE shall judge proper. No doubt now remains respecting the pregnancy rf the young Empress of France. A Lady who is to officiate as sage . emme has already taken up her re. idence in the Palace of St. Cloud. Her Majesty has declined the assistance of an aecoucheur. It is some what singular that the name of the female whom she A IRS selected is Madame Le Sate. - The ATLAS, having on board Mr. ADAIR, our late ginister at Constantinople, has arrived at Portsmouth. At a meeting of the heritors of the county of Ber wick, held at Greenlaw on Tuesday*, it was resolved 0 apply to Parliament for an Act to declare the town of Dunse the head burgh of the county, in place of Greenlaw ; but a protest was taken against the mea sure. In consequence of the late Naval Pyomotions, Cap tain R. I'. DAvizs, who commanded in the flotilla at licilcheren, has been called into active service, •and appointed to the BRAZEN, of 18 guns, at Jamaica. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East•lndia House, when Captain W. BAYNES was (worn into the command of the Marchioness of Exe ter, consigned to St. Helena and Bengal. Tuesday se'nnight the foundation-stone of St.Cuth ert's Lodge in Tweedinouth, was laid amidst the united acclamations of most of the Brethren in that ghbo urhood. Yesterday, a General Meeting of the Magistrates br the county of Middlesex took place at the Sessions louse, ClerkenwelLgreen, for the purpose of electing A Governor of the House of Correction, in the room Mr. Aris dismissed. ' Mr. Aris, hawever was pro- I pused yesterday morning to be admitted candidate for the place again.; but there being no other supporters than the mover and seconder,his name was withdrawn. William Adkins, a Bow-street Officer, was then proposed as a candidate, and accepted ; Samuel Ha- I rnilton, an Officer of Marlborough-street, and Henry Webster, a Clerk in tire Sessions•house, Clerkenwell, Were proposed, and accepted in a similar manner.— The ballot then commenced before Mr.WArsoN, Bar rister, in the chair. At two o'clock the Ballot closed, and on casting up the numbers there appeared for— William Adkins 73—Samuel Hamilton 16—Henry Webster 11. In the Court of King's Bench, Lord ELLENBOROUGH anntunced, that the Court had ordered, that where bail came to justify on a debt exceeding £lOOO, the Lail should not be held to justify for mare than £lOOO above the amount of the debt. This is a wholesome egulation. His Lordship informed Mr. WARREN, that in the ease of the Rev. Mr. POVAH and the Bishop of LONDON, the Judges, on the ground of law and precedent, were unanimously of opinion that the Rule :load le :Maid, which was done accordingly. Sit JAMES Maasinaut informed the Gentlemen of the Common Pleas Bat, on Wednesday, that the re gulation with respect to the sum for which bail is to Justify on account of costs, recently adopted in the Conn of King's Bench by Lord ELLENNOROUGH, would be observed in the Court of Common Pleas. Saturday, in the Sheriff's-court, a cause was heard, when the following particulars were stated :—A tradesman was arrested by a Sheriff's Officer. and lave bail to try the action. Immediately after, his goods were taken under distress, at the suit of the person who caused him to be arrested, and sold by a broker, as stated in the return, for £32. The trades- 11 13 n was shortly after made a bankrupt, when he . tnentioned the particulars of this transaction, and a Writ of Inquiry was issued. The Jury, after bear ing several witnesses, found in their verdict the value of the goods to be £2OO.—A baker, of the name of Rateliff, sued for the recovery of AS 14s. 2d. from a Mr. Archer, for bread served to his wife. The de fcadant - denied that the lady in question was his wife, but it being proved that she had contracted the debt while he allowed her to assume his name, a verdict v.ls given sg.tinst Kim for the amount. ;13Z .e V. ...V • • ''sr ' l 7 irga . , .

Tnesday se'nnight, the Northumberland Local ?Ti. I litia were reviewed at Alnwick, by his Grace the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, who arrived on the field at 12 o'clock, accompanied by her Grace the Duchess in a bitrouche and six. After the men had gone through their evolutions, his Grace said it gave him great sa tisfaction to see the regiment in such a forward state of discipline, and that the steadiness and correctness of its movements fir exceeded his expectation. After the review, the Officers were entertained with a sump tuous dinner at Alnwick Castle, where the splendor of the entertainment was heightened by the presence of his Grace and family. The company left the Castle about ten o'clock, highly gratified with the, munifieent hospitality of their princely host. Nine French officers, prisoners of war, who lately in violation of their parole of honour, absconded from Chesterfield and Ashbourne, in Derbyshire, and were recaptured at sea in two Folkestone boats, arrived in Canterbury on Thursday se'nnight, under a military escort, and after an examination there, proceeded the next morning for Folkestone, to be confronted with the persons from whom it is supposed they purchased the boats and escaped, and for whose apprehension warrants were issued; it appearing Government are determined to prosecute and put a stop to the practice for some time carried on, of aiding the escape of num bers of Ftenchmen from the Kentish coast. The same prisoners arrived again at Canterbury on Sunday night, and proceeded next day to Chatham. About 160 French prisoners of war, mostly officers, were landed at Leith on Thursday se'nuight, from the SPARTAN frigate, and were marched ofiv under an escort to Greenlaw.

As Major CLown, of the Sd; or King's Own Dra goons, was returning to Ripley, from Guildford, on Wednesday se'nnight,ow ing to the extreme darkness of the night, his gig was overturned, by which accident his leg was unfortunately broke. His servant escaped unhurt. Monday, -- NEWSOME, a Serjeant in the Waggon Train, was committed to Canterbury prison, charged with having tendered a forged check, purporting to have been drawn by Mr. JOHN BROWNE on Messrs. PAYLER, and Co. of the Canterbury Bank, for ton guineas, with intent to defraud the said Messrs. PAY. , LER and Co. A few days ago, as the Members of a Volunteer Corps, which had assembled in a field at Cannonbury, were firing at a target, one of the balls missed the mark, and entered the shoulder of a valuable geld ing in an adjoining field, which obliged the owner to slaughter it. On the morning of the 7th inst. as some fowls were fcedin4 in St. John's church-yard, Newcastle, a phea sant joined them, and was caught, and is now alive, at Mr. Fester's, Queen's head inn, Pilgrim-street, in that town. . 7 • kJ" - zit rh • E . • GIBRALTAR, OCTOBER e. b"- 4114 P .

The latter end of the last week we had one of the severest gales ever experienced on this coast. Forty vessels of different descriptions were sunk or driven wrecks on shore on Saturday last, some of which are of the scattered Baltic fleet, the extent of whose loss cannot yet be astertained, though we fear that it will be found extremely calamitous in every respect. ADMIRALTY COURT, NOVEMBER Is. Hulda, master.—This Prussian vessel, laden with tal low and flax, was captured while proceeding from St. Petersburgh to Colburgli. The Court had the assistance of Trinity Masters who were of opinion that there was nothing decisive against thie master; the Court, therefore ordered further proof as to the pro perty. St. Niel, Gettschalck master.—This ship sailed under Russian colours, laden with potash, candles, &c.

The general state of Ireland is, as usual, very dor titute of tranquility ; the annual fairs at difrereot country towns are still, and problibly more than ever, therendezvotts of all turbulent and disatfectei persons. Here, parties are formed, and numbers, often exceed ing some hundreds on each side, sometimes meet and decide their quarrels in the most arbitrary manner, without the slightest regard to the lives of the ilidivi duals concerned. The Magistracy of the country ap pears still incapable of fulfilling its duty ; and, where any thing like riot or outrage is exhibited, there is, in most cases, an appeal to military aid. A guard of ca. valry has been lately ordered to Tulin, for the pur pose of maintaining peace in that neighbourhood and, at Clougheen, notwithstanding the soldiery sta tioned there, the stables of the adjoining farmers are often broken into at night, and their horses seized by a set of depredators who traverse the country on all sides, and, under pain of death. administer oaths of various tendency, some regarding the price of provi sions at the next market-day, sshich is peremptoril stipulated at a certain rate, and others enjoining se crecy. So much are they attended to, that no infor mation- is ever received by Government. An informer would inevitably, on discovery, be brutally murdered, and his house and family probably burned. At Listswel, in the county of Kerry, notices are served regularly, fur sicii tenants to quit their pro perty, as have procured leases of ground formerly held by other persons. Firearms are applied for, and force ably taken, where they are to be found, and on the slightest resistance to this, or to any other demand, death generally ensues. . . . rwsLEr, NOVEMBER 14: Tt is now ascertained that 84 persons perished by the oversetting of the Canal boat, as mentioned in a former letter, of whom 18 were below ten years of age,"49 from ten to 20 years, and 17 above 20 years of age ! One painful aggravation of our distress is, that the sufferers though mostly young, were the chief supports of many families ; they were the more diligent and steady part of Our youth, who were countenanced by their parents, and allowed a fatal holiday as a reward of their industry. A subscrip tion is on foot here to assist each•particular ease that may require aid, and the neighbouring places are requested to join in it ;—and indeed the poor parents need pecuniary aid at the present moment ; for the wages paid to our poor weavers, arc very low at this time, owing to the general pressure on our trade ; nor can any of them have SO much 'laid up as to cover even- the funeral espences of their relatives. IV Should the perusal of this tile of woe induce any of our Readers to wish to alleviate, a little, the distress of the survivors, by a pecuniary aid, any do nation which they may send, directed to the Enrroit of the S ran, No. 1, Cary-street, will be forwarded to the Magistrates of Paisley. • WINCHESTER, NOVEMBER 11. Yesterday morning, for the first time, a barge loaded with 40 tons of stone, passed the locks from the River Avon to the Kennet and Avon Canal, near Bath. Thirty-days working weltiwr will so far coin. plete the Canal, that boats of 40 or 50 tons burthen may pas.: from Bristol to London without shifting.— The guns on Sydney Wharf were fired on the above occasion. , , Monday last, the Marlow coach, in returning from town, was overturned after passing Maidenhead, by which accident two women, inside passengers, were considerably bruised.
