The new Code of Criminal Law's for the Isle of Man, including an Act tier regal:ulng the sale of her rings, and an Act for abolishing all paper money for the payment of sums under twenty shillings, both passed in the last Session of Parliament, were lately proclaimed, according to ancient usage, before the in habitants of the Island, in presence of the Constituted Authorities. During the recital of the latter Act, there appeared a manifest disposition to tumult, amongst a part of the assembled crowd, which increas ed in such a degree us to require the assistance of the civil power. That power was found inetlbetual. Se vend stones were thrown by the mob, at the hill upon which the legally Constituted Authorities were placed, but tbrtunately without elfect. At this juncture the Lieutenant Governor directed the military, a detach ui,2nt of the Kith regiment, under the command of Lieutenant Ashton, to give their aid. The show of resistance was continued for a short time ; when the majority of the insurgents, seeing a few of their leaders subdued. and taken into custody, fled with all the speed they could. Most of the ringleaders are com mitted to the goal at Castletown, and warrants are is sued against others. Only one of the mob was slight- IT wounded in the arm by a sabre. It appears that this rumour was occasioned by a false report, indus triously propagated, that the new laws had for their objeet the levying a heavy tribute upon herrings, to support the Bislr!) and Clergy. The Act respecting the Herring Fisher: only prohibits the use of tarred nets, and orders the sale to be no longer by the tally, but measurement by the cran—agreeably to the ar rangement in the British Fishery. The reduction which was recommended by the Fi nance Committee of the House of Commons, to be adopted in the Payraaster-Generes department, has just been carried into execution. The Right Hon. F. J. Robinson and his Deputy have retired from their respective stations, by which a saving of about 25001. per annum will accrue to the public. Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Gibraltar, dated July 2 t " I am sorry to say that the report of the existence of the plague in Algiers, as mentioned in my letter to you of the 18th June, and afterwards contradicted, turns out, unthrtunately to be too true. The Portu guese vessel of war Nossa Senhora da Piedade, Lieut. Scarnichia, which left this port on the 27th ult. with dispatches from the Portuguese Government, for Mr. hl`Donalcl, returned here on the 19th. The Cora raander reports that he was seven days in going up.— Upon his anchorage, the pratique-boat came Off, and having questioned them as to the health on shore, he was answered that all was well, when the Algerines jumped on board. Lieut. Scarnichia then went on shore, and was taken before the Divan, where he was surrounded by the populace. He afterwards proceeded to the Consular-house, and found that the Consul and his family were gone to their country house. Upon his going there, the Consul was much surprised to see Lim, telling him they were surrounded by the plague, which had been brought from Bona, and that it raged most on the Marina, adding, that the Dey denounced death to those who should say the plague existed. He kept Mr. Scarnicbia two days in his garden, and then dispatched him. Upon his return to his vessel, not withstanding his wish of preventing farther commu nication, the Algerines persisted in coming on board, and forced him to receive the return present. Upon his return here he touched at Alicant, to finward dis patches overland, and there learned that two physicians bad been sent to ascertain the nature of the 'disease, who reported it to be the confirmed plague. He was 11 days from Algiers, and seven from Alicant. The catent of precautions that will be taken here are not yet determined on, but vessels from that quarter will Slot be admitted at all." Sir Gregor Nl‘Gregor, the insurgent leader in South America, has published two proclamations upon the cap ture of Amelia Island. As he is our countryman, we could have wished that they had been in a better style. There is too much of the insipid jargon of revolution ary France abont them to please even the most ardent well-wishers to the insurgent cause. Letters were received on Saturday from Gibraltar, ("tat ted the 24th July. The Spanish Commandant had sent official notice into the fort that all intercourse with Gibraltar was for the present prohibited by land and too, as the effects of the plague now raging at Algiers and on the African Coast were greatly dreaded. Strong remonstrances were expected to be made by the Go vernor and in'habitants of Gibraltar, as they deemed the measure very premature. It would have the snug 'serious effects upon the trade. About four o'clock yesterday afternoon the first Fu neral passed over Waterloo bridge. It was a walking one, from the Surry side of the Thames. The carriage ig ate& were thrown open in order to let the puneession pass, and the ni:velty of the eireumsiatce drew an un visual crowd of persons to the spot. Nu toll, of gourhe, was laid.
