EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THE AGENT TO LLOYD S AT PETERHEAD. DATED THE 19TH INST. " The folluwirg ships, belonging to this port, have arrived here from Davis' Straits:—The Resolution, eight fish, 120 tuns; Hannibal, tour fish, 55 tuns ; and the Traveller, two fish, 25 tuns. They confirm the account of the principal ships which were be ret having effected their clearance from the ice, and further state, shat the fishery was completely over." lieu., Sun . . 21.—The Ariel, Andrew Marvel,lnd Cambrian Lave arrived from Davis' Straits, and report that the beset ships have been liberated, but that all the ships have left the Straits, as the fishery was over. There was no improvement in their success. The following ships came with them from Stronmesi last Tuesday :—The Albion, of Hull ; Cone, or Newcastle ; Home Castle, of Leith; Caledonian, of Kirkaldy ; Achilles, of Dundee ; Monarch, of Montrose ; and Resolution, and Tra veller, of Peterhead. The Albion is coming up the Humber, and the buncombe, from Greenland, has got up. There is no account of the Discovery Ships. The Elizabeth, from Green land, has been on shore at Stronaness, but is reported to have got off again. CAPTAIN Sconzsav, Jett.—We are happy to announce the arrival of this Gentleman at Liverpool, in the Baffin, from Davis' Straits, where he has had, for the season, more than the usual success, having got nine fish. Captain Sco MST landed on the west coast of Greenland, a part of that inhospitable region which has not, we understand, been visited, or even seen by any of the navigators of the A ictic seas, for more than two centuries. He had found no inhabitants, but saw several nuts, with indi cations of recent fires in them. The country abounds with rein deer and game. On her passage home the Ban encountered rough weather, and in a tremendcus gale off the Feroe Islands, two of the crew were lost. Bayonne Journals to the 15th instant have been received. The Chamber of Commerce of that City lately addressed an energetic representation to the Government, complaining of the injury which the Merchants sustained in consequence of the measures adopted by the Secret Committee of the Faith, of which General EGUIA was President, to stop the Mails going to or coming from Spain. An article extracted from the St. Sebastian Gazette says :—" The arrival of the French General Count d'Eetw at Bar celona is but too true : it is positively affirmed that be has asked permission of the Spanish Government to raise a foreign corps, to be called Knights of Li berty ; and that it was strongly believed he would obtain it." GLENGARRY is bound to keep the peace by a Jus ticiary warrant, in £5OOO, as we understand. Last Sunday week, the Rev. RICHARD HALE, Vicar of Harewood, undertook to preach a Charity Sermon at Harrowgate, for the benefit of a Public Charity, and the Parish Church being nearly three miles dis tant, the Promenade Room at Low Harrowgate was fitted up for the purpose. When a large congregation was assembled, and just as the Vicar had arrived, a messenger from the Lord Bishop of CHESTER, now at the Granby, informed him, that as the place in which he was about to preach was unlicensed, if he pro ceeded with the service, he would do it at his peril. To this intimation Mr. HALE replied, that he had the permission of the Archbishop to preach in that un licensed room, but that he would wait upon his Lord ship at the Granby, which he did without delay. The result was, that the congregation was obliged to dis perse without any service. BLUE COAT SCHOOL, CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.--Satur day, being St. Matthew's Day, was observed as the Anniversary of the Foundation (or Oration) Day ef ' this ancient and admirable institution, when the annual ceremonies were observed according to the charter. At eleven o'clock, the LORD MAYOR, Alder men, Sheriffs, and Governors of the several Royal Hospitals attended Divine Service at Christ Church, Newgate•street, where they heard an excellent Sermon preached by the Rev.WILLIAM Bu ROES HAINE, A.M. who received his early education in that seminary.— After Church Service, they repaired to the Great Hall in Christ's Hospital, which was fitted up for the pur pose, with a rostrum at the end next the entrance for t he orators of the day (the two senior scholars of the Grammar school); at- the opposite end of the Hall, at a table (on which were placed a crimson velvet cushion, ornamented with gold fringe and tassels, the City Mace and Sword of State) sat the LORD MAYOR, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and Governors; on each side the, Hall were three rows of benches, for the accommo- 1 dation of the Ladies and Gentlemen who composed the audience. At three o'clock Master SAMUEL HIN• GISTON mounted the rostrum, and delivered an ap propriate Oration in Latin, which, though only under stood by the more learned, was received with the greatest applause. The English Oration was spoken • by Master JOSHUA WELCH, which came home to the feelings of all, and failed not to make a sensible im-i pression. After which the Loan MAYOR, Aldermen, Sheriffs, Governors, and the rest of the audience be stowed the accustomed nations on the youthful tura.tors, aud all departed donations on jbe yothfl ujators, and all departed highly gratified. THE BRIDE 111771 TWO BRIDEGROOMS. The following curious circumstance, which really took plate a few days ago, is the subject of Conversa tion amongst the gossips of Lewisham and Sydenham, and the vicinity, where all the parties are known: A young Lady of great Mental and personal attraetkon was betrothed to a young man 'of her own rank in lifer The day was fixed, and the ring bought that was to unite them. In the interim the Lady had to visit a friend at Walworth, and' availed herself of one of the days upon whleb Camberwell Fair was held for that purpose. The kindness of her friends, and the amuse..., ments of the fair, detained her longer than she intended. But still she was determined to get to Sydenbam, and proceeded homewards. She was shortly overtaken by a stout young man, in the working dress of a bricklayer, and it bring now dark, she determined tb keep up with him. The bricklayer addressed her civilly, told her how far he was going, and offered her his protection, which she accepted. In short, the Lady,arrived safe at home, and the honest layer of bricks and inortatproceeded on his journey. Theevening previous to the knot being to be tied between the heroine and her intended husband, while walking together in the fields, perhaps laying down plans for their future comfort and happiness, they were met by a young Gentleman unknown to either of them, who accosted the Lady by name, inquired after her health, and hoped she felt no ill effects front the night damp in walking home from Camberwell Fair with hint a few nights ago. This address greatly embarrassed the Lady, and threw all the thoughts of jealous Othello into the mind of her lover, who abruptly questioned his bride as to her having been at the fair without his knowledge. The Lady could not deny the tact, but denied ever having seen the stranger; while he persisted that he not only saw her at the fair, but conducted her safe home from it. The green-eyed monster had now got complete possession of the bridegroom ; and after upbraiding his bride with infidelity, and threatening the stranger with his vengeance, he rushed away, leaving her in the care of the gentleman. The lady's dis tress was really indescribable. To be suspected of improper conduct could not by an innocent mind be brooked; but to be so by her future husband, and left by him under the care of a stranger, was beyond suffering. The stranger after trying to soothe her mind as much as possible, is reported to have said The person who has now left you, Madam, is undeserving of your hand, since he doubts your honour. I have seen and loved you for :hese two years, although my humble rank pre vented me the happiness of conversing with you, until my escort ing you home from Camberwell fair. For yon must be pleased to know that I was the gallant Bricklayer, as you kindly termed me when you shook me by the hand on your getting safely to the gate, on thaeoccasion." The young Lady had now a perfect recollection of his voice and person, although the latter was altered by a different dress— but still her mind waf.in the greatest agitation; and when she was about to speak, her protector interrupted her,^with saying— " Since I conveyed you home from Camberwell, my uncle, who was a builder, died, and left me an income of seven hundred pounds per &haunt. lam besides well acquainted with his busi ness.' You are a bride now, and were to be married to-morrow. You must continue so for two days longer than was intended this morning, to enable me to get a license with my name in serted therein as the bridegroom. On account of your character the delay cannot exceed the time I have mentioned, and I shall not take any denial. I shall see you home to-night, and explain myself at large to you and to your mother." All which was done, and the gallant bricklayer is now the happy husband of an excellent young Lady ; while the original bridegroom must feel much mortified. CONFLAGRATION ANt) DESTRUCTION OF ANOTHER CHURCH. By a most extraordinary coincidence, three Chris tian Churches have been reduced to ashes, by acci dental fires, in three differenrcountries, and all in the course of the same week. To the destruction of the Ghent and Rouen Cathedrals, we have now to add that of the great Lutheran Church at Amsterdam, the details of which were brought last night by Dutch Papers to the.2lst instant. They are as follows: AMSTERDAM, SEPTEMBER is. To-day, at noon; one of the most dreadful fires broke out here that has happened in this city for many years. The new Lutheran Church on the north east side of the Singel is burnt down, together with some of the adjacent buildings. The Church was ob served to be on fire about half-past one, and a little after two it was all in flames. The heat was so great that all efforts to save the nearest houses were neces sarily renounced. It was felt at the distance of two streets on the Toreslius, and opposite the Church it was insupportable, notwithstanding the breadth of the Sin gel. The sight of the lofty cupola in flames was dread lul, but sublime. The copper which covered it, and which flew in large sheets through the air, coloured the flames with varying tints of blue and green, which were speedily mingled with the lighter flames of the ardent spirit, and the dark yellow smoke of the oil with which the adjacent warehouses were filled. It seems certain (at least this is the general report) that the fire commenced in the Church itself, and not in one of the neighbouring warehouses ; but with respect to the real cause of the misfortune we have little more than conjecture. On account of the violence of the fire and falling sparks, the vessels near the Singel, over which a very strong east wind fortu nately drove the thick smoke, had to remove to ano ther place : it does not appear that any of them re ceived much damage. The fine Church thus de stroyed, and of which little will remain but the wall round it, which is ten feet thick, was erected in the years 1678.1679, chiefly by voluntary donations. The fine dome was built on the model of that of &- Peter's at Rome, and as well as a semicircular build. ing adjoining, covered with plates of copper, which were brought from Sweden, duty free, by permission of King Charles XI. On the platform of the adjoin ing back building there was a large cistern of rain water to be used in case of fire ; we do not know whe ther it has been of any service on this occasion. Four o'clock.—Four of the adjoining dwelling houses and magazines are burnt, and the fifth is in flames. AMSTERDAM, SEPTEMBER 19. The fire yesterday seems to have broken out in the 'Loft where the plumbers had been at work, and so rapidly spread that the Church was all in flames in half an hour, and f.oon communicated to the neigh bouring houses and warehouses, some of which being full of spirits, wine, and other inflammable substanc es, added to the fury f the conflagration. The greatest praise is due to the firemen for their extraordinary exertions, and we are happy not to have heard of any accident of great consequence, only that one of the firemen received some severe bruises on the neck and hands. Another on the hands only. The whole inside of the Church is destroyed, the walls only remain.— Happily the books and papers were saved, as well as some valuable articles from the Consistorial Chamber. Six dwelling-houses and nine warehouies are entirely, or nearly destroyed ; sonic others are damaged, but not to any extent.

"In the name of Goo the merciful ! The cause of the pre. sent writing is, that we witness that the grey horse Dervish, of Mahomet Bey, is of the first breed of Nedgdee horses, whose mother is the grey mare Saliba the famous, and whose father is the bay horse Dahrouge, of the hones of the tribe 13enhihaled. We testify, on our conscience and fortune, that he is of the breed concerning which the Prophet has said—* the true runners when they run strike fire; they grant prosperity until the day of judgment.' We have testified what is known ; and Gob knows who are true witnesses.' "—(Followed by six signatures). PEDESTRIANISM. The great foot-race between Halton, the Yorkshireman, and Ashton, the Lancashireman, over the Course at Doncaster, for 200 gs. a-side, four miles, was run on Friday. At one o'clock they started from the chair, and for three mites the contest was supported with great spirit; but on coming to the Red House the last round, Halton shot past his antagonist, and won by about 80 yards. The odds at starting were 6to 4 in favour of the White Row. The four miles was perforated in 20 minutes and 35 seconds. This is the 15th match the victor has run, in every one of which he has been successful. CRICKET. Monday last a match was played on Streatham Gammon, be tween the Gentlemen who frequent the Greyhound, at Streat ham and those of the Bell Inn, at rooting, which was won by the former by 70 runs. Thursday, a singly-wicket match was played on the same ground, between Mr. -WilcoCks formerly of the Light Dra goons, and Mr. H. Kemp, an em inentl butcher, both of Streat ham—the bet was a rump and down and six magnums of claret. After a very hard contest Mr. Kemp won by 40 runs. BOXERS. Rammed! and Martin.—Wednesday last, at Mr. Jackson's Rooms, £2OO a-side more was made good for the above great match. Martin had his arm in a sling, but said his hand was much better. Randall did not slew on the occasion. A Gen tleman present, who has generally backed the Gas, on being told that Hickman had been challenged by Shetten, offered to back the Gas to fight Hudson for £lOO, in two months ; and also back him to fight Shelton for £lOO in two months after fighting with Hudson; but observed he would not make one match with out the other, and if any Gentleman would undertake to make both matches at the same time, he would put the money dawn for Gas, and elpressed himself confident that Hickman would . fight. DEATH BY FIGHTING. Thursday, and by adjournment on Friday, an Inquisition was held at the Boar and Grove Tavern, Deptford, before the Coro ner for Kenr, on the body of Michael Higgins, aged 20 years, whose death was occasioned by receiving certain blows in a pu gilistic encounter. The first witness was a man of respeetable appearance, who said that he was a servant in the family of Da niel Whittle Harvey, Esq. Loampit-bill House, Greenwich, and stated as follows :—Last evening, about six o'clock, I saw the deceased and a young man named Jones, with a crowd of spec tators, go into a field to fight a pitched beide. A ring was formed, as is usual on such occasions, for the parties to fight in. The deceased stood at some distance from the crowd, and appeared reluctant to commence the fight. He was called. by his party to enter the ring. Jones immediately leaped into the ring and threw up his bat, as a signal that he was ready to begin the combat. The deceased then entered the ring and stripped. Jones also stripped, and they shook hands. Each of the com batants was attended by a second, and a person stood with a watch to keep Me time. As soon as the parties shook hands, they put themselves into fighting attitudes. and exchanged blows. The deceased bad the best of the battle during the three first rounds. in the fourth round Jones- hit the deceased a very se vere blow on the temple, which sent him staggering. They con tinued the fight for About a quarter of an hour ; but after the fourth round, it all against the deceased. At the close of the ninth round, the deceased said " I'll fight no more;' and Jones was declared the conqueror. They shook hands again, in the same manner as when they began the fight. Immediately after they shook hands, the deceased appeared very ill : he could not stand, and soon became quite insensible, and could not be dressed. He was carded off the ground to have medical assist ance rendered him. It was a fair fight. The second witness, a resident of Deptford, was at the Dept ford turnpike-gate on the morning of the day the fight took place. Jones was there, and be said he would ask Higgins (de ceased) when and where he Would fight him, in consequence of sonic old grudge existing between them. Higgins came up to the gate soon afterwards, and Jones addressed him in these words:" I understand you want to fight me?" Higgins re plied, " Yes, and I will fight you this evening." Ne angry words took place further ; there was no quarrel. They agreed to meet at the Deptford-bar, at Ave o'clock on the same night, and pro- seed from thence to fight. They entered the toll-house, and Jones and Higgins agreed to go and fight at that time in a field net far off, for five shillings a-side. They each of them put their stakes into his hands, and then went to the field, and commenced fighting. They fought for about a quarter of an hour, when the deceased exclaimed, " I will have no more of it !" He then looked very ill, and soon became perfectly insensible. He was carried to the Bricklayers Anus, from thence to the Dispensary house, and afterwards to his mother's, where he expired. Au adjournment was then agreed to by the Coroner and Jury to the next day, to bring evidence forward of the names of the seconds in the fight, and to obtain surgical evidence of the pre cise cause of the deceased's death. On Friday the Jury re-assembled, and the following addi tional evidence was received. The last witness on the first day's inquiry was again examined. He stated that the seconds at the fight were a man named Hil lary, and another named Turner. Ile knew them, because they were the only persons who interfered in picking up the parties when they fell, and who directed them during the fight. Wit ness said he thought it was a fair stand-up fight, and each party had fair play : they struck each other as hard as they could. Mr. John Atkins, surgeon, - was called to see the deceased after death, and was of opinion the injury was occasioned by some ex ternal violence, in all probability by blows in the fight. The Cosmic* summed up the evidence, and was glad that, by the adjournment, the names of the seconds had been obtained ; and it was pretty clearly ascertained, by the evidence of she sur geon, that the young man's death was oocadoned by blows re ceived in the fight. It *as almost unnecessary for him to inform the Jury that pitched &Wks were unlawful sports, ate! plat eccry one concerned es Lien were liable to be tried fur murder, if they stood by aiding and Witting while one of the parties was beaten to death. lu this ease two young men, the eldest only en years of age, for a small sum of money, had agreed to tight, till use of them was so disabled as not to be able to stand up any longer; l a ud, during the combat, the parties not ouly struck each other • • wkb all the lane they vote able, bat walebed dick op2oriu •ti ;f u striklngtbeir opponent in the most t':-.7crotreparts rt , e • '•• ch brutal practices ought to be put a i ao, i h, ••t doubt the 3bry, by thei r ver di ct , wou ld ,-c0e.tbt , 1,.3.- 1 -t a.:O of the same opinion. • r The Jury retired for a shoit time,. and !. .iroe , i a verdietoot Manslaughter against Jones, the printigal,an, !Tiliary ,alTiesner i , the two seconds.

OCILD/fALD—Tee Now MARRIACIR Aor.—The first occur.. rence of the swearing of an affidavit of the kind under the new Act took plasmAkilis Office on Saturday, before Mr. Alderman. Cox; and, alttnengh the Justice roost was exceedingly crowded, by the addition of the prosecuton,witnesses, coast ables,and other., in attendance relative to the prisoners on the Mansion-home list, Who had been transferred to this Office in consequence of the LORD MATOIA hewing to attend Christ's Hospital, it being St. Matthew's Day, we verily believe that, with the exception of the parties, the Magistrate's clerk, and the Alderman, there weariest three persons in the whole assembly who were at all entapp•s4,- - • the nature of the affidavit sworn. The hint thrown atm waif time awe* Mr. Payne had been adopted, in this instance...-. The parties, a young couple, apparently of the working class, were attended by the Parish Clerk,with an affidavit already pre pared, the correctness of which he had previously ascertained and vouched for and the oath was administered without exciting • the slightest curiosity. Bow-Sraarr.-..Poxes v Fes!—Michael—or, as he himself called it, • Mykle.Denaghu; was brought up on a warrant for assamlting and beating James Davis. Mr. Davis kit tall gaunt, lank-haired, melancholy, middle aged Englishman; *fide, on the contrary, is a short, plump, curly-headed, bushy-whiskered, merry little Irishman. They both lodge in the same hosise.—Mykle uppermost, and thence comes the grievance, foe MAI, when he is beery, and seldom's the time be is sot—is given to dancing. Mr. Davis is a man of staid and serious habits, who goes to bed every night when the clock strikes ten, and every night—just as he gets into his first deep--ehome comes sprightly Mykk, brimful of beer, and begins dancing hia Irish fandangoes' about the room overhead, till he shakes down great patches of the ceiling upon poor Mr. Davis below—nay, it was stated by a credible witness, that be some. , times dances so vigorously ,as to shake down the ceilings in the adjoining house! Mr. Davis bore these irregularities as long as he could, but at last his patience, as he said, was quite entirely exhausted; and, last Friday night, he ventured to tell MAW* that he would beat it no longer; when, what does MyMe dog but seize the pater, and threaten to Kennedy him' (beat hint with the poker), Wise dared to interfere with his private amuse ments. Mr. Davis, quiet as he is, ha d too much spirit to let ' any man swagger ever him in this manner; and, whilst Myile was sheialeghing about' with his poker, he attempted to take it from him; and in the attempt he received sundry thumps on the head and shoulders, which made his eyes strike fire!— Thus far was Mr. Davis's statement; and new for 111 , ,kk Do naghu Please your Honour,' said he, ' is it bekase a man canna dance if he's merry ?—and klisther Davis, says i, is it myself that isna' to dance the bit bekase the lazy likes of ye canna get yere sleep before sun down ? I shall go to the bed in reasonable time, when I like me self, Misther Davis, says I: Come out o' that, ye Irish Grecian, says be—come out o' that and I'll give it to ye. And with that he pulls the coat off him, and shakes his fist in the face of me; and come out o' that, says be, again, and I'll give t' ye. Faith, Mr. Davis, says I, and if ye will give t' me, ye shan't say ye give it to me for within, for be th' pnwers I shall Kennedy ye, my jewel; and with that I took the poker to myself, and he had his fists in his own hands, y'r Honour, and faith it wouldn't be alsy to say which of us had the best of it,' &c. Some,witnesses, brought by Mr. Davis, admitted that he had challenged Mykle to Come out of his room, and that something like a regular fight (barring that Mike used the poker) had taken place between them, and therefore the Magistrate dismis-ed the warrant. " But,Michael," said his Worship," do not let me hear any more of your tricks; drink less beer in future." "I shall, Sir !" said Mykle; ii and get home earlier in future,Michael"—l shell, Sir. a And above all, Michael, get another lodging as soon as you can; and take care that your amusements do not disturb your neighbours." " I shot!, Sir!" reiterated honest Mykle, and making a bow—so low that the tattered hat, he held in his own 'right band, almost touched the floor, whilst his left leg kicked up behind—he gave his Worship St. Patrick's benison, and left the Office a merrier man than he entered it. - • RETALIATION.—Arnong . the facetice of the days of CHA6I.I2s 11. it was the custom when a Gentleman drank a Lady% health by way of doing her greater honour, to throw sotne part of his dress into the fire, an example which his'companions were bound to follow by consuming the same article of their apparel, whatever it might be. Ohe of his friends perceiving at a tavern dinner, that Sir Charles- Sedley had on a very rich lace cravat, when he named his toast committed his cravat to the flames, as a burnt offering to the tem porary divinity,' and Sir Charles and the rest were obliged to do the same; The poe: bore his loss with great composure, observing it was a good joke, but that he would have as good a one some other time. Ile watched therefore his opportunity, when the same party was assembled on a subsequent occasion, and drinking off a bumper to the health of Nell Gwynne or some other beauty of the day, he called the waiter, and ordering a tooth-drawer into the room, whom he had previously brought to the tavern for the pup. pose, made him draw a decayed tooth which had long plagued him. The rules of good-fellowship, as then in force, clearly required that every one of the com pany should have a tooth drawn also, but they na turally expressed a hope that Sedley would not be so unmerciful as to enforce the law. Deaf, however, to all their remonstrances, persuasions, and entreaties, he saw them one after another put themselves into the hands of the operator, and whilst writhing with pain, added to their tortnent by exclaiming—" Patience, Gentlemen, patience, you know you promised that I should have my frolic too!"
