Owing to the great number of iteciilencs that occur almost every dvy from the overloading of stage coaches, the gentlemen of the Morylebone trust, in order to put a stop to such dangerous and disgraceful practices, have served notice on all the men employed ut their different turnpike gates, to lay immediate infbrinations against the owners or drivers of any stage coaches passing through sncl► gate, carrying more outside passengers ►.r luggage than is allowed by act of parliament ; and in case of their non-compliance with such order, to be immediately dismissed. They have also ordered painted boards to be put up, expressing their determined ICSU tiell to prosecute such offenders. About 30 of the Stockport rioters have been taken tato custody, of Avhotla 17 were admitted to bail, one committed to the I louse of Correction, and one (Joseph Barker) is in custut•.•y in Chester Castle.

The porter, on presenting the cheek, was desired instantly to bring the wan of whom he received it ; and returning for that purpose he met another porter, who said the prisoner was anxiously waiting his return, and had sent him to pro ere u coach. The porter made use of the coach to convey the prisoner to the bankin! , house, where, hav ing been asked some questions, he was sent allout his I , winess. He then ordered the coachman to drive him to Lloyd's, whither the porter accompanied him, and here he attempted to escape without paying the latter for his trouble, or the coachman his fare. He was however, seized, and given over to a constable. A gentleman came forwaltd, and identified the check as his property. His peel et had been picked of his pocket book, containing the check and other documents, in the neighbourhood of Bond-street en Friday. The pri soner was recogilized as an out thief by one of the offi cers, who said he was about I() years ago sentenced to transportation for life.

A dreadful atoms' of thunder, lightning, rain, and hail, visited kumsey, in Hampshire, on Wednesday uf ternoon. A number of trees in the New Forest, were torn up b. the roots. At Bromshaw, seven mild from ltumsey ; the hail stones did considerable damage to the hot houses.adjoining; at Mr. Orris, not less than Bel• squares of glass were broken; two small horses, which had taken shelter under a tree, were found both deal on the following morning. fly the Trinidad Courant, or the 2il of May, we re gret to learn, that on the preceding day a fire took place in a wooden - tattling in the town of San Fernando, which conimunicatta with such rapidity to other houses of this description, that in less than three hours nearly the whole of the town was consumed. The loss sus tained on this occasion must have been very considerahle ; and it appears that nbcut 200 hhds. of sugar, which had been placed there for the purpose shipping, were desabyed. The provincial papers continue to give flattering accounts of the improving condition of trade and manufktures. At the dinner given on the conclusion of the late Thetiiird Wool Fair, Mr. Coke observed, that it was the largest and most respectable ever held in that town ; and he rejoiced to state, that the woollen manufactories were never in a more prosperous condi dition than at the present moment. Letters hare been received from Cadiz to the Ist of July. The convoy arrived from the Havannab had an engagement with an insurgent squadron off the port.

Wednesday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the following Commanders took leave of the Court previous to departing for their respective destinations, viz. Capt. P. Ripley, Regent, and Capt. S. Lee, Moffatt, for China direct. Friday the Court of Directors of the Hon, the East India Company gave a grand dinner on board the Vansittart, at Blackwell, to some of his Majesty's Mi nisters. We see front the proceedings of the Cmivention of Scottish Boroughs, that as little good was to he expect ed fro.n i body so illaudibly constituted, so little cer tainly has been done. The convention has determined, by 23 to 23 votes, that it possesses no power of chang ins the set of a borough unless all the parties concerned desire the alteration. This principle. if entbrced, will in a great measure frustra►e improvement, since it is only in eases of unmanageable debt that the self-electors will consent to relinquish the emoluments and consideration which they now enjoy at the expense of flair negligent countrymen. The change, however, which has been effected fir Dundee, is likely, we understand, to be important.—Glasgow Chronicle By a mail from the Leeward Islands delivered in town on Friday. the intelligence is confirmed of the de:i..at of the Royalist fleet by the squadron under the command of Admiral Brion. The following is an extract of a letter from Mr. T. Jackson, Master of the John, arrived at Greenock, from Greenland, dated July 20 :--" I have the pleasure to advise you of our safe arrival here this day, :tiler a suzeessful voyage, having capturea SI whales, supposed will produce V' t 0 tons of oil.
