How said, that as the myrmidons of Government were ready to pounce upon any in the assembly who appeared warm. it would he allsist - able to restiain the natural feeliags upon such an occasion.._ All the Resolutions in the declaration were then carried, and Hunt said they would, no doubt, appear in the public papers, with the comments of the hirelings of Ministers. Hilo then said, that a remonstrance to the Prince Regent would be pro• posed, which was coached in language such as a free people should else to their sovereign. Mr. Oast, It AilipVlOgilt of Deptford, seconded the motion. A penny subscription for furthering the objects of the Meeting was proposed by Mr. Watson, and carried. Mr. Hunt then went to the Home Office alone, and was itnmediately introduced to Lord Sidinooth, to whom he de livered the remonstrance. Mr. H. then returned to the per. sons who waited for him, and stated that Lord Sidmouth had promised to give them an answer io a taw days. The crowd then dispersed. At a meeting of the Magistrates of Brighton, to renew the Victuallers' licenses, the foiluwing complaint vs as made against Mr. W. R. Mott,of the Royal Hott!, by W. Burrell, Esq. M. P.—Mr. B. wrote to MrAllott, on the 'ad of August, re• questing to be informed if lie could have a sitting-room and bed-room at his hotel. To this letter no anwser was given, and Mr.ll. in consequence dispatched a servant to ascertain if he could be reconturodated. This man went to the hotel, and was told by the servants that apartments had been pre pared for Mr. B. Mr. IL arrived in Brighton, and was set down at Dr. Tierney's. Toe coachman then proceeded with the cur rich to the hotel, where he saw Mott, of whop* he in. triired if Mr. B. had not taken apartments, and was answered in the affirmadive. On the coachman desiring that somebody might he sent to assist in taking out the luggage, Mutt replied. that if he would take the horses into the stable yard, he would scud a porter to him. Mr. B.'s servant observed, that he was to take the horses to Mr. Penfold's stables. " Then," said Mott, " I'll be cursed if I take Mr. B. without his horses."— In the: he persisted, mid the coachman was obliged to leave the house, and Mr. B. was put to the inconvenience of seeking accommodation elaewhere. Mr. Mott, in defence, stated, that his motive for desiring the coachman to take site horses •to the yard was, that he might not he subjected to the impor.. Utilities and corrupting influence of the stable-keepers of the town, aho Ind frequently by bribes induced the servants of fam iii es, tenting to Ilia house, to take the horses to their yards. " added Mr. Di." I wish to know 'by what law inn keepers are compelled to reserve rooms from day to day, or even for a single hour. for gentlemen not coming themselves to take possession. It the lion. Member (for whom I have the highest respect, and to whom I have to express my regret that the circumstance complained of should have oecurred) will try the question in a Court of law, I shall be happy to meet hint; but with the power to do this, I think it hard that he should aim to deprive me (Amy license, and thus to destroy property to the amount of 30,0001. Mr. Burrell professed his motives to be purely of a public nature. Mr. Serjeaut ROIL nington was impressed with all idea that Mr. Motes conduct was contrary to law ; but lie begged to be understood as not giving a decided opinion upon that point. At ail eV3lllli it was hostile to tt vtow principle of justice and deco' inn, and he felt that lie should not perform his duty to the public, did he not refuse the license. The license was for the preaent sus pended. We have this day the melancholy task to record a most dreadful catastrophe which took place last week on our coast by shipwreck.— The Sine, Captain N. Doak, sailed from this port-on Monday last, for Boston, having on board 34 passengers; and on Thursday night, seem eight o'clock, struck on the Platters, on the Welch coos:, near the Skerries Light-house, and in about an hoot the vessel went down. and 13 oi the passengers were drowsed; the rest of diem and the crew were saved by a pilot boat which fortunately happened to he near at that moment. Not a single article either belonging to the ?ship or passengers was saved. Amongst the passengers saved, is a uoy about 14 years of age, who has lost both his parents by this dis t:essing crest. We have made every endeavour to get a list of the prsons lost, but the Captain does nut recoliect the names of any of :tl and the only copy which he had of them was on board the ves sel. The crew and riaasenger4 saved were put on board die Mary and Tally, lions Salem, and arrived here on Friday. About ten o clock 4.1 :ac night previous to Ca" fatal occurrence, the Sine ran down the Prig Da hi, horn Bangor tor London, when unfortunately three of the erew were ilrowmal ; the others (two) were saved by the Stine, aid ' , ere oa board when that vessel wes wrecked. Great praise, we arc in toneed, is due to the people•on board the pilot boat. for their active exertions in rescuing the persons on board the Sine from their perilous suiration.—Liuerpoof paper.

'ME NATIONAL ItEGISTM. COP RESPONPENTE BETWEEN LOUD SIDMOUIII AND MR. HUNT. WHITEHALL, Sept. R. Stn,—Lord Sitimontlt has directed 1111: to inform you, that as the paper containing the Drelaiation and Remonstrance, address e d to tarn prince Reg e nt, which you put into hi s L or d• ship's hands yesterday, purports- by the description theaein gut en of it, to contain the Declaration and Remonstrance of the inhnhitants of the Cities of London and Westnanster, and parts adjacent ; and as this description is evidently and no toriously untrue, his Lordship does not think hinivilf at liberty to lay the , ate before his Royal Highness. Fate, Sir,- your obedient servant, HENRY CLIVE. H. Hunt, Esq.,B, Norfolk•strert, Strand. MR. MINT'S ANSWER. P; Norfolk :street, Strand; Sept. 0. Iv Loan,—When I deli.ered to your Lordship the Re monstrance unanimously agt el-it to at the Meeting held in Palacc-yard, on Monday last, address: 1i Li? the Prince Regent, yon pt . :nuked me that you would read a over, and if it did not contain any inirroper language, you %%mild deliver it into the hands of his Thiyal Ibelmess, and that you would give me au answer i!1 the course of 3 days. Late last evening 1 received a leiter, signed, " Henry Clive," which cotes that your Lordship had instructed him to say, that you Ilia not think yourset:.it liberty relay the same bef are the Prince Regent, becaus.• it purported to be " the Declara tion and Remonstrance of the inhabitants of the Cities of London and Westminster, and parts adjscrat; which descrip tion was evidently and notoriously untiue." Now, my Lord by what means your Lordship ascertained the fart that the perm's who attended the Meeting in Palace yard were not inhabitants of Lontku and Westminster, and parts adjacent, I know not ; but this Ido know, that those persons who proposed and seconded " the Declaration of " our manifold Grievances, and the Itemonvtrance against the " cruel. illegal, and unconstitutional acts of the corrupt •••• " and • I 's that had been so long imposed upon his Royal " Highness the Prince Regent by the great and overwhelm " ing Borough Proprietors of this Country," 6tc., were in habitants of the Cities of London and Westminster, and parts adjacent ; and I believe that almost the whole of the 5 or 6,000 persons at the meeting, who unanimously sanctioned the same, were also inhabitants of London and Westminster, and parts adjacent. However, as your Lordship has declined to deliver the Declaration and Remonstrance to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, I will trouble your Lord ship to return me the original document that 1 left with yon, that I may, agreeable to the instruction of that meeting, take some other method of laying it before his Royal Highness the Prince Regent. _ I am, my Lord, Yotor Lordship's most obedient and inmA humble servant. o Lord Viscount Sidutouth. H. HUNT. CAUTION.—A respectable shopkeeper of Norwich has been fined NI. under the following eiretunstances, whirl. will probably be considered exceedingly hard upon the industrious individual. It appears, that, for the sale of any article of silver, weighing five dwts. it is necessary for the vendor to take out a licence. The party in question sold a silver pencil case under ignorance of the existence of auclr a law, and be_ came the victim 014 COllllllOll informer. A large supply of onions has recently arrived from Spain ; and a considerable quantity from France and Flanders are expected, which will doubtless reduce the enormous prices asked in our markets, in consequence of the failure of the beds in this country. The quantity of fruit in Scotland this year is so abundant, that the orchards on the river Clyde only. including those situated between Glasgow and Hamilton, have been sold fur nearly 11,0001. _ The la . te rains have been pretty general all over the country, and have been of the most essential benefit to vegetation.
