Thr cargo is landing, and the vessel is expected to be Fat off with little datnagr. Livitimm, Noe. 2.—By the Hyperion, Gsarerza, from New Orieans, arrived at this port on Wednesday last, came passenger Captain Lallourria, of the fine Belgian ship Prrvoyante, ef . Antwerp. The Prevoyante was on the 14th of July, when of tar Colorados, tusarded•by a small privateer schooner, the crllir of which took possession of the ship, ran her in with the land, and came to an anchor, when an indiscriminate plunder of the cargo, and of the effects of the Master and crew, immediately commenced. The crew were severely beaten to extort a con fection of what money there might be on board; and the Mate vas hung by the neck three several time*, until he had lost aU appearance . of life. On coming to his senses he was thrown. overLoaed, with the grindstone round his neck, and when nearly erowntel withdrawn from the water. One man was most bar haroudy niurdered, and the Captain's sun has since died of a wound he received. From this day the pirates compelled the crew of the Pr evoyatite to go into small craft, in which the cargo seas sent to I lavannah on the 14th of August. The ship being tlundered of everything, with the exception.af some gin and on, the pirates set fire to and destroyed her. Ott the 19th of the same month, the crew of the Prevoyante were put on board a small sloop, and ordered, under threats of murder, to proceed to Europe. In this vessel they reached New Orleans, nearly naked, on the loth of September, where they were humanely , 'tented. Most of the crew remained in America; and to Cap -I:.in GARDNER, of the Hyperion, who brought the rest to this leer, too notch prate cannot be given for his attention to them co the voyage. • Garatiocc, Ocv. 29.—The ship Earl of Buckinghamshire, Jon MON, from Quebec for this port, was abandoned at sea on the 11th inst. The crew had been in a very perilous state from the 6th, when the ship became water-logged during the tre rhendous gale of that day. Captain Jonnsvor, in a letter to the Owners, expresses himself under the greatest obligations to Captain Bona, of the brig Mary, of Richebucto, who took the trelv and passengers in safety off.the wreck, at considerable ha 'Lard, with the exception of e*. seamen, who perished in the tale of the 6th. The ship's company then consisted of the Master and twenty-two seamen, and there were also on board two cabin and twenty-one steerage passengers.

The county of Cornwall has been convened, and a series of reolutions formed, to prevent two evils by which the county ap- ikared in the first instance to be menaced—namely, the transfer of the packet service from the Post Office to the Admiralty, and the removal of the packet station from Falmouth to Plymouth. The dread of one of these apprehended evils has been, for a While at least, removed by an assurance that the station was not at present to be altered, it being intended that the West India, the Lisbon, and Mediterranean packets, should depart as usual from Falmouth. The other terror—the trAtlifer of the service from the Post Office to the Admiralty—still termini'.

Upon the prorogation of the Paritantent he returned to Flanders, to consult with Owen aid' Sir' eilliain Stanley. Front Flanders he went to Italy,. andfrom tholes came to'Bngland, seliaie he passed for thelservant of Pierey, under the fictitious name of Guy Johnson. He was principally employed in placing Oe gun-. powder, faggots, Acc. In proper order for explosion, and at the same time concealment from too dittoes observadion, as the doors a the cellar were left open foi public inspection, to avoid suspi• don. Fawkes was apprehended at the entrance of the cellar door, about midnight, by Sir Thomas Knevett, a Gentleman of his Majesty's Privy Chamber, and a Justice of' Peace in West minster, who immediately carried before the Pri vy Council, before whom be aSrmed, that had' he been within the doors at the time of his apprehehsion, he would have Wotan himself up, wish all those that were about him at the time. He was after wards examined at WhitehaU, where no man, of whatever. rank, was denied access or speech with him ; and, notwithstanding the motioned teazing and impertinent questioos.that were put to him, it was observed, he neither changed tountenance nor lost Ms temper the whole ti,me,...treating the better sort with scorn, and mocking, the rest. Ho was from the Council conveyed to the Tower, where , although he was sheeted and threatened with the-sack, he still seemed fixed In his first purpose of denying any ' e whatever; and it is asserted he was prevailed en to e what confession he did from the following circumstance befog told hint, upon such authority as be could not doubt : There was one Mr. Pickering, of Tichtnarch Grove, in Serthamptonsbire, who was in great esteem with King James. 'This Mr. Pickering had a horse of special note for swiftness, on :which he used to hunt with the King. A little before the blow was to be given, Mr. Keles, one of the conspirators, borrowed the horse of hint, and conveyed him to London upon a bloody design, which was thus contrived :—Fawkes, upon the day of the fatal blow, was appointed to retire into St. George's-fields, where this horse was to attend him, to further his escape (as they made him believe) so soon as the Parliament House should be blown up. It was likewise contrived that Mr. Pickering, who was a noted Puritan, should that morning be murdered in his bed, and conveyed away ; as also that Fawkes, as soon as he came into St. George's-fields to escape, should be there risur. , clued, and so mangled that he could not be known. Whereupon it was to be bruited abroad that the l'uritans bad blown up the Parliament House ; and the better to make the world believe it, there was lir. Pickering with his choice horse, ready to make as escape. But that stirred up some, who seeing the heinous. ness of the fact, and him ready to escape, in detestation of so horrible a deed, fell upon him and hewed him to pieces; and to make it more clear, there was his horse, known to be of special speed and swiftness, ready to carry him away ; and upon this rumour a massacre should have gone through the whole land upon the Puritans.—Whtn the contrivance of this plot was thus discovered by some of the conspirators, and Fawkes who was now a prisoner in the Tower, made acquainted with it, whereas before he was made to believe by his companions that he should be bountifully rewarded, for that his, good service to the Ca tholic cause ; now perceiving that, on the contrary, his death had been contrived by them, he therefore freely con fessed all that he knew concerning that horrid conspiracy, which, before, all the tortures of the rack could not force him unto. The truth of this was attested by Mr. William Perkins, who had it from Mr. Clement Cotton, to whom Mr. Pickering gave the above relation. Guy Fawkes resided in a large mansion called Faux Hall, the site of which is now occupied by Marble Hall and the Cumberland Tea-gardens, and was Lord of the Manor. He used to have frequent meetings with the rest of the conspi rators at a house (at the back of St. Clement's Church) lately pulled down. This consummate villain was executed with 'filo rues White, Ambrose Rockwood, and Robert Keles, within the' Old Palace - yard , Westminster, not far from the Parliament House, January 31, 1606. This being the Anniversary of Gunpowder Plot, it was observed in the usual manner in the Metropolis. The Park and Towet guns were fired at one o'clock, and the bells of London and Westminster rang at intervals during the whole of the day. ACCIDENT FROM FIRE•WORKS.—Between one and two o'clock yesterday afternoon, a young than; of the name of Freeman, a lodger in the house of Mr. Keates, 6, Pelham -street, Brick-lane, Spital-fields,• making some squibs and other fire-works, held a paper of gun powder in one hand, whilst with the other he went to throw some loose powder into the fire; - The sudden t flash communicated with the powder in his hand, which exploded; his face and eyes were in conse quence shockingly burned, and it is feared he will lose the sight of both his eyes ; his hair was burnt, and. his right arm shockingly maimed ; he was im mediately carried to the London Hospital:—An ap prentice to Mr. Dunbald, pawnbroker, Skinner -street, Somers Town, met with a similar accident in making fire-works, a few days ago, on which occasion the house had a narrow escape from being set on fire, th'e' shop window being blown to pieces, and several of the pledges destroyed. . Last week Mrs. Walker; of Graph-lath, York, had the misfortune to set her clothes on fire. She called to her husband to envehip her in_a wet blanket, which was at hand. He instantly came down stairs, but the sight of his wife's situation so overcame his pre sence of mind, that he had not the power to follaw her advice. The poor woman then ran into the street, where her presence excited equal indecision. At last, a person passing by humanely wrapped her in his• coat, and succeeded in extinguishing the flames. ft was now necessary to strip Mrs. Walker's clothei, and some wretch availed himself of this scene of con fusion and distress to steal her pockets, out of which he took the little money therein, and left them in the highway in Petergate. The poor woman was deli= vered of a male child about two o'clock on Wednes day morning, and only survived three hours. The child is quite perfect, and likely to live. The hus band was so much burnt by endeavouring to extin guish the flames, that he has since been incapable of following his usual occupation. Saturday se'nnight, Mr. Gino's, saddler, in St. Andrews, Scotland, went out to the Links for the pur pose of shooting rabbits. His gun flashed, when he took it from his shoulder and placed the butt on the ground. While in the act of taking the powder-flask from his pocket in order to re-prime, the gun sud denly went off, and the shot struck him on the chin, and dreadfully lacerated the whole of the left side of his face. Medical assistance was speedily procured, but there are but slight hopes of his recovery. ' Tuesday evening. one of the London stage coaches , broke down between Knuuford and Warrington, when one of the outside passengers (a female) was killed on the spot. She had with her a child six months old. 4. Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, one of the Wandsworth coaches, with 12 outside passengers, broke down iu Blackman-street, Borough, by which the whole fell into the mud, two of whom appeared much hurt, and were put into,a hackney chariot but fortunately no lives were lost. The accident oc curred by the breaking of the fore asletree and the badness of thep avement, which is in a deplorable state throughout the Metropolis.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he undertood that __ yesterday, in his absence, this matter was mentioned; that, since that time, several affidavits have been feed, which be and his clients had mean opportunity of seeing,' nor should he be able to meet the matter to-morrow as he wished ; and therefore he hoped his Lordship would be good enough to order it to stand over until Thursday. Mr. Itoßsa concurred in wishing the matter to be Isottponed ; but he hoped his Lordship would not name so early a •day as Thursday—for this reason, that he had not had an opportunity of seeing the af fidavits made in answer to those Of Dr. Bankhead: but the fact was, -that what had been felt to be the true spirit of his Lordship's intimation, which was in tended to operate'as , an order to allow, at reasonable times, reasonable me' lical access , to -the Earl of Ports mouth, had not been duly acteelupon ; for such access had not been allowed, so that it had been impossible properly to act upon it. • - Lotto CHANCELLOR." I have read all the affi- Vavits in support of this Petition ; I have read also, the 'affidaviisofthe Medical Gentleman,:and I do not impute any evil. intention whatever to anybody. I have since read 'all the affidavits which have been made in support of, and against the Petition, and I hare likewise read the'affidavits which were filed but yesterday, to account for what passed, according to the statement in Doctor Bankhead's affidavits. _lt is ex tremely fitting that you should have an opportunity, on all sides, of looking at them : and particularly those affidavits that /were filed yesterday; and, on Thursday morning, I shall consider that the question for my determination, for the present, will be this: What / am to do,in the present circumstances of this case? I haven() difficulty in saying that, in my view of my order, that order has not been interpreted as I think it ought to have been interpreted under the circumstances that have taken place." • Mr. HORNE trusted that £hose circumstances should, hereafter, be explained to his Lordship's satisfaction. The LORD CHANCELLOR trusted lie was a person who had, in the course of the last 40 years, acquired some knowledge of what , his duty was on such a sub ject as this ; and, according to that knowledge, 'be , had no conception that a medical man should go down to the North and examine a person said to be a lunatic, except in the presence of another medical man—not that he meant to attach blame to the in tention of any party whatever ; nor did he say it was improperly concealed from the party who went, who should be there besides, or whether anybody! should; on the contrary, such concealment was, under all the circumstances of the case, very prudent.—.l 44 If," said his Lordship, " this were a question in 'which this Court had no jurisdiction, and a case. of this kind affords many points on which this Court 'has no jurisdiction, for 'a ,great many matters may arise between these parties in which this Court has no •jurisdiction, I am pretty confident to say, now, that I could put many points for trial elsewhere; but the simple question for me at _present is, whether there is, in this distressing case, that evidence of weakness and imbecility in the mind of this Noble Earl, that autho rizes me, under all the horrors of this case, to issue a Commission of Lunacy?

They met on Tuesday last, at Kilnhurst Bridge, at first drew Hooton Gorse. Immediately after the hounds were thrown into cover, a fox broke away in the direc tion of Denaby Wood, but leaving that cover to the left, he Jnade for Cornsborough Cliff, where he went to ground. They then tried Denaby Wood, where they again found Iteynard was not slow in quitting the cover, bending his course to Klinhurst Brldge,but turning to the left, and passing Hootoi Robert's Vil lage, and Norcliffe Hill, he gained the cover where he was found ; the hounds, however, pressing him closely, be was soon com pelled once more to quit his favourite haunt, and he now went off in gallant style, skirting Mr. Fullerton's plantation, and dis daining the refuge of the cover; he suddenly turned to the right across the open country for the river Dun, which he crossed near filexbrough. The held having now become very manage able, and the hounds being well laid int• their fox, after cross ing the river, Reynard's fate appeared decided; he, however, boldly crossed the enclosure towards Swinton, directing his course towards Gdlden Smither's cover, through which he passed to Swinton Race Course, where, bring headed, he turned back pointing fur home, and was run into by the Stanmer Pack, near the Lock-house of the Dearne and Dove Canal, after a sharp hunt of one hour and two minutes.
