The following is from the board of the Jerusalem Coffee-hoist ET THE SNIP FARQUHARSON, OTT WEYMOUTH. The Repulse and Kent were loaded at China, and expected soon to follow the Farquharson. The affair between the To- PAZZ frigate and the Ckinese took place on the 23d December. The Supercargoes were on board the Waterloo, and had the precaution to have all the bullion and property shipped. The Portuguese Governor had received orders at Macao to allow none of the English to remain there. The Chinese junks were at the bar to prevent the Farquharson sailing, and the Toraza firing a gun or two over them they dispersed. The Farquharson had her gun .+ loaded, but did not fire. Not the least appear ance of settlement was entertained when she sailed. The Van sittart and Scaleby Castle had arrived at China.. The Macqueen, WALKED, outward-bound, had arrived at St. Helena." Extract of a letter from Macao, dated 27th January :—" The affair of the Torastfrigate' remains unsettled : the Viceroy of Canton not having relaxed In his demands, we resolved on itoving the ships out. of the River, and weighed for the second bar yesterday morning and anchored here (Chaumpie) in the evening, with all the ships—the frigate is with us. It is reported that the Viceroy is willing to open the trade, so far as consists in buying and selling, but insists on having two men before the ships sail. It is probable that after the Torazz sails, which is expected to be in about ten days, Matters will be settled, and that we may expect a final adjustment in all February; this is, however, only my opinion." Extract of a private letter, received this morning from an Of ficer on board the Hoe. Company's ship Farquharson, dated in the Chops of the Channel, May 27, 1822 : " The cause of our detention, which has doubtless by this time occasioned some anximy, happened through an unfortunate quarrel which took place between the seamen of his Majesty's ship TOPAZ' and the inhabitants en the Island of Linton, in which three of the Chinese were killed. The Chinese insisted that three of the sailors should be delivered up, which Captain RICHARDSON would not do. As their law is positive that life shall be forfeited for life, whether the death be accidental or in tentional, they put a stop to all trade with the English, in order to force compliance. " We, fortunately, happened to be ready for sea; and after being detained for four or five weeks, in order that we might bring home favourable accounts, were dispatched, as things daily assumed a more serious appearance. The whole of the Com pany's ships were outside of the Bocea Tigris, the Gentlemen of the Factory and Company's Treasury are on board of the Company's ship Waterloo." ;:tier from Smyrna, dated the 17th April, gives I•orlible description of the barbarities committed Scio.

Canada is a rising country, andcould, in a very short time, produce all the hemp we might want ; while South America is quite as capable of exporting tallow as Russia itself. lam afraid that the British cam mercial interest at St. Petersburgh has been allowed to degenerate. Look at our factory there now, and compare it with what it once was! One or two fami lies seem to keep the management of the whole trade to themselves, and, by a selfi,h narrow-minded policy, have awakened suspicions which have greatly weak ened our interests in Russia. Portugal, too, has been endeavouring to cut up our trade with her and Spain. Poor Spain has long been making her futile attempts to wipe out her debt of gratitude, by throwing dirt at us. A commercial treaty with France would bring ,both these Governments to their proper senses; and, as it would be no great punishment to be obliged to ' prefer the wines of France to those of Spain and Por tugal, the two latter might be taught to feel the want of our custom, by losing that trade of which they appear never to have known the value. Such being the state of things in Europe, our at tention is naturally turned towards the openings to trade in the new world, and which the late changes in that quarter have brought about. The whole of Spanish America we may now consider as thrown open to commerce; and, in spite of all the evil ma chinations which jealousy tali invent, or sordid pas sions raise in the breasts of our rivals, either upon that Continent or in Europe, a very considerable portion . of the trade of those various regions must, never theless, fall to the share of Great Britain. Until the new Republic of Columbia can procure ships of its own to carry on its commerce—until it shall have established asufficient navy, its trade must be entirely conducted by maritime nations. The Go vernment of the United States is keeping a sharp 100k -out, and would gladly shut us out from all par ticipation in this new trade; and, because they have been enabled to get possession of the Floridas, they are probably indulging in the. pleasing hope of one day or other becoming masters of all our West India Colonies. The Republic of Columbia will be in want of our manufactures, and there can he no doubt of that people preferring to obtain them direct from us, to that of procuring them •at second-hand through the United States; to which may be added, the fur therinducement to giving us a preference to all other nations, that they will find us ready customers for all their products. We require all their raw materials, and they all our manufactured articles. To defeat . the attempts of the United States to shut us out from die trade of Columbia, we should at once make Ja maica a respectable naval station ; and, situated as that island is, within three or four days' sail only of the Columbian territory, we should then be able to afford that aid to the new Republic, in establishing its infant commerce, which the United States would have been glad to offer, and which they had fondly hoped would have been asked of them. Until Co lumbia procures ships of her own, Jamaica would become the great entrepot of all our manufacttn'es and all her products. In one week the merchants of Columbia might supply themselves in the Jamaica market, and return home again ; we might . receive their products in like manner, and thus might a most lucrative branch of trade be secured to this country. By keeping a respectable squadron at Port Royal, and by throwing open our ports to the Columbian flag, we should effectually prevent Jonathan from doing us any harm. What Jamaica will be to Co lumbia, the island of Cuba already is to the whole of the West Indies—the key. Spain does not appear to be likely to hold this island long, at all events, and it might therefore, probably, not be difficult, under the circumstances, to negotiate with her for the pos session of it. The Havannah is one of the finest bar. hours in the world, and capable of riding our whole navy : possessing this station, we should not only command the whole trade of the Mexican Gulf, but it would also enable us to keep the United States, in their newly-acquired accession of territory upon the opposite coast, in good order. As they ate situated at preent, they have it in their power, in the event of hostilities, to prevent our getting home a single hogshead qf sugar ; and if we allow them also to get hold of Cuba (which they certainly will if we do not prevent it), we may then fairly take leave of the West Indies—l am, sir, your obedient humble servant, May 20, 1522. As. Accounts from Monmouthshire state, that the miners and colliers are returning to their respective employments ; but for sometime past much dissatis faction has been expressed by the masters and crews of the vessels employed in carrying coals from Wales to Ilayle, and returning with cargoes of copper ore, in consequence of a determination come to by the copper companies to reduce the rate of.freight hereto fore paid for their ore, and by general consent, they refused to take on board any . ore unless at the for- • mer price. This the companies refused to give, and a number of vessels have been laid up at Hayle, in the expectation that the necessity of supplying their works in Wales with ore would compel their em ' ployers to recede from their purpose of reducing the freight.--The rioters dismantled two vessels, the masters of which-had agreed to take the ore at the reduced rate, and threatened to commit other ex cesses, when they were dispersed by two troops of Yeomanry, -called in for. the purpose.

The typhus fever has broken out at Cork, to an alarming extent. The distresses of the poor are said to be unparalleled. Provisions in abundance are brought to market, but there is no money among the lower orders to purchase them, so that it is real starvation in the midst of pletity. A Meeting was held at Kilmallocic, in 'the county of Limerick, on the 14th, relative to the distressed poor of the parishes of St. Peter and Paul, Ballin goddy, and Tankardstown, at which it was resolved, " That from eleven to twelve hundred paupers in this district have not the means of subblstence for three months: that no less a sum than from six to seven hundred pounds would be sufficient to subsist those persons, and prevent starvation and sickness, which have already commenced in several instances." The following lamentable truths are contained in 'the printed Report of a Committee appointed to in quire into the condition of the suffering peasantry . in the county of Mayo. Referring to a list of the names of resident Gentlemen, from whom•they received in formation, the Report thus proceeds : " They concur in most afflicting statements of the wretched ness of the peasantry, and place beyond the slightest doubt the melancholy fact that very many thousands of our poor country men, in that County, are at this moment actually enduring all the horrors of starvation and malignant disease. The High Sheriff states, that a very malignant fever is making rapid strides in se veral districts ; and that he has seen hundreds of wretches greedily seeking for seater-creates, wild mustard, nettle tops, dwarf thistles or danddioa, all the Spring; Mr. Joseph M'Donnell states that the people are emaciated, they have been excited by hunger to plun der for provisions, and have carried off yoting lambs front the fields for food ; Mr. Strickland represents the typhus fever to be extending rapidly, and the villages and roads crowded with beg gars evidently starving. Others represent the peasantry on the coast as utterly destitute, and endeavouring to subsist on shell fish and sea-weed ! " _ _ ---- - The Report from which the above extract has been taken, thus concludes : The Rev. J. Seymour, Rector of Ballaghaderrine, and Chairman of a local Committee formed iu that town, in his letter, dated May 22, states—' No pen can describe the state of misery and despair to which the unfortunate victims of starvation are driven.' " The Rev. W. R. Smith, Minister 'of Castlebar, and one of the Secretaries to the local fund of .that town, writes, May 9.1 ' The misery of the poor here is hourly increasing. A family last week, in their last extremity, seized on a sheep in a neigh bouring field, killed it, and devoured part, and carried the re mainder to the owner. A similar case occurred this week, with regard to a pig. I have, myself, seen several venoms falling down faint through weakness,frons want offood. Our local subscription, the first entered into in the County, has already amounted to above 22Q1. and out of this scanty fund we give relief to above 2000 famishing persons, at the rate of half a pound of meal a day, and that sold at the third of what we buy it for ; but even this, I do most solemnly, as a Clergyman, declare, does not give relief to the one-tenth of the misery that nourly presents itself to view.' ,1 In concluding this heart-rending Report, and in order to furnish all the alleviation of such frightful miseries that this Com mittee can provide, we beg leave most respectfully to suggest and to urge that the largest contribution that your funds could afford be forthwith remitted to the County of Mayo, in such sums as will insure the most beneficial distribution. For we declare it in the most solemn manner, to be our conscientious conviction, founded upon the diligent perusal - of the communications of your correspond ents, that we items-EATT the extent of the calamity when we estimate that not less than SZVZNTY TUOUSAND of our fellow-creatures, in habitants of the County of Mayo, being less than a fourth of its population, are utterly destitute of food or the means of obtaining it. That a large portion of that number has been in that deplorable condition of dependence upon public charity for more than a month past, and that the entire number must continue thus de pendent for eight weeks to come, at the least ; at the same time that many thousands of them are pining away under the griev ous aggravations of malignant disease." Mr. BARNARD WIDDICLIT, of the Hampstead road, died on Saturday night from the injuries he sustained in having his gig turned over on his return from Epsom Races on Thursday. The accident was occasioned by the chaise getting foul of another at the foot of 'Westminster-bridge, when both were overturned, and Mr. Wironatar was taken up senseless, besides having his collar-bone broke. His wife and son, who were with him, escaped unhurt. Dunn, the jockey, who was killed on the Cheater Race Course, was interred on Sunday week at Delemere Church, at tended to the grave by a number of relatives and friends, by whom he was beloved and esteemed. Mr. Mirrrotr, the owner of the horse from which the unfortunate man was thrown, has acted in the most liberal manner to the family of the deceased. BETTING AT TATTERSALL: S, MAY 27.
