There are occasionally in the American papers adver tisements, offering . rewards for the apprehension of run away slaves, marked with letters imprinted by a red-hot iron on the shoulders, breasts, or cheeks ; but of all the instances lf abominable cruelty and injustice, perpetrated "as the law directs," the following is, perhaps, the most striking:—A poor fellow who declares that he is a free ' man, is seized and cast into prison by nobody knows who ; the owner, " if any," is desired to release him ; but it' he has no owner, that is, if he be what he de clares himself, a free man, he will bo sold to defray the expense of his imprisonment. Notiee.—Was committed to the poi of Frederick county, Mary., land, the 29th of September last, as a run-away, a mulatto man who calls himself William, five feet ten inches high; had on when com mitted, an old hhe cloth coat, striped linsey vest, tow-linen panta loons end shirt, NI. hat about half worn ; he is about 39 years old, says he is free, that he was manumitted by Phillip Love, in Reister town, Baltimore county. The owner (if any), is desirous to release him, otherw;ge he will be sold fur his imprisughtent fees, as Mc law di. reek."--(Signed, &c.) An ordinance has been passed in the city of Savannah, by which any one who teaches a man of colour, either a slave or free, to read or write, or causes such person to be so taught, is subjected to a fine of 30 dollars for each offence ; and every person of colour who shall keep a school to teach reading or writing, is subject to a fine of 30 dollars, or be imprisoned ten days, and whipped 39 lashes. Behold the enlightened policy of the free of people America ! On Saturday morning last, two midshipmen, be longing to his Majesty's ship Severn, stationed in the Downs, were imprudently betrayed into a course of conduct which is now undergoing examination before the Mayor and the Magistrates of Deal. About seven in the evening the two Midshipmen were walking along Lower Street, Deal, when from some cause which does not yet appear, they fired pistols at a person or persons in the street, and wounded the man-servant of Admi ral Harvey in the thigh, as he was standing at the shop door of Mr. Barnes. A Deal boatman, named Worthington, was the next object of their attention, at whom they attempted to fire, upon which a scuffle ensued, and the boatman had his head cut with a dirk that one of the midshipmen had drawn ; timely inter position, however, prevented the fatal consequences which must have ensued. The midshipmen, after an examination at the Court Ilall on Monday, were com mitted to prison for further examination. On Saturday morning, the first rehearsal of the Italian Opera, fn. the commencement of the season, took place at the Opera-house, with the fall band and all the vocal performers. Br the death of Admiral Sir Richard Onslow, Bart. the situation of Lieutenant-General of Royal Marines has become vacant. On ‘Vedneslay the Metropolis was completely co , veloped by a f)g which was so thick as to render it im possible to discern objects at only the distance of a few yards Candles were burnt in all the houses in the City during the day. The stage coachmen were obliged to employ men to lead their horses. At all the outlets, and in London itself, the horns were used incessantly. At the same time the frost was severe, and the pavement appeared block and slippery. CHEAP Mont: or Tmvertr.oro.—On Saturday a respectable looking man, mulled 'rho:nes Collin.;, was brought bothre Nlr. Al den um Magnay. at Guildhall, charged with defrauding :Air. W Man, proprietor of tae Bull and Mouth Inn, Bull and Metrth-street. of 31. 13 ,. rah Oakley. guard to the ‘Vellim;ton, Newcastle stage coach. of which Mr. Willan is the proprietor, stated, that the prisoner came by that coach on that day morning to London from York. On taking his nlace at York he allegeel that he lints nn mo ney. but produt-al a bill main st bealthig lions; in town, anal handed it over as it ...mite thr th.: payment of the tare. The money Low. ever. 'llion in man was not kdicasiting, and the bat rot/ ed to Is: Me A' WO fie :/.cr. The pri,ourr4linic.l any intention or de. ft-muting the proprietor of the etratil. and said. that the mover should boputal if he um set at liberty. He compl?ined of having been tle ttnnel in enstoly. sad said that he had been deprived of thepower of making applieatioa to his frietd , rho would immediately 'advance the required stun. The guard said. diet every indulgenet: had been afforded Vie prisoner; and so far Mint bein•: debarred from making applications whir" fiends, he had actitalli, don:: so. but without suc cess. Ile (the witness) also acconiputri,tl the prisoner to his 14,ings in Leatherscilers'-builtline, and waiied two hours, but " twas a hunt" tiler: was no hhisi tortlianniag. rrisonel.—lf I am allowed my liberty, I pledge my word that the money shall he paid. The 3lagistmte said lie could not entertain the charge as a fraud. However dt.dioanst the intention of the prisoner might be, he thought that it was no more than It debt, and recoverable only by civil pro- Cr .1% 'I he prisoner in his former statement added, that the bill spoken of by kite guard he had protium' merely as a card of address, and not as by a security for the fare. Mr. Pellic.—The snm • and soh , tt lice of the I imagine is this :—You were at York, but wished to be in I midon. therefine set t•our brains to sink to devise the cheapest and easiest method of pertionting the journey. In my opinion you adopted the best pos. Bible plan: The prisoner again denied having any fradulent intention, and offerkd num:iliac payment it' the Magistrate would liberate him. The Nlagi arate again said, that the charge against the prisoner did not come within his cognizance. Ile was thereore discharged, and lift the office, bearing with him the evil wishes of the guard, who we unde:stand, would eventually be the loser ofthe fare. LONDON MARKETS. CORN-EXCHANGE. FRIDAY, JAN, 2. The Wheat trade is dull this morning, but finq parcils would readily command Monday's pricos,—ln Barley, Beans, and Pease, there is but little buisness doing, hut we cannot quote them lower.— The Oat trade is tolerably brisk, and the sales wade are on much tb• canoe terms as Monday la,n Saa.l.llllB. The brewers, with thcit usual rapacity, have deter ruine.l upon a rise of 51. per barrel on porter, and have distributed notices around to the publicans to that effect. In consequence of this notice, the latter have raised the pot of porter to 6d. This certainly is a great hard ship upon the working classes, after the blessings of an abondant supply of all sorts of grain, with which Pro vidence has blessed the land, and in the enjoyment of pence too. A Letter from Frankfort dated December 20, says— " Very large quantities of hops have been bought up within these few days for English account, so that the price rose from 50 to 100 drains per cwt. On this sud den rise, speculators immediately set off for Bohemia and other hop countries." This rise will of course affect all other markets, and has probably afforded one of the pretences to our brewers for raising the price of porter, and taxing one of the chief necessaries of life to the labouring classes of the metropolis. We look upon it merely as a pretence ; for hops, it is well known, do not bear such a proportion to other articles entering into the composition of London Porter as to warrant this increase of price. Porter is now ss dear as it was botl.tre the Chancellor of the Exchequer took off the heavy war duty. A letter from Venice, dated December 10, says— •' The wore rarely our city, surrounded by water, and Wit of matsive stone, is visited by fires, the more ter ror do they excite when they really happen. This was the case on the night of the lith instant, in which the great Palace Corner, situated in S. Maurizio, on the Great Canal, whether by accident or design, was on a sudden involved in flames. The fire was dreadful, and could not be entirely checked till the fdlowing morn ing, when three quarters of that fine building were re duced to ashes. As it had lately been purchased by the Government, and the Provincial Delegation had been removcd to it, with all its archives, bureaux, &e the nurit important papers, original contracts, title detsls of houses and estates, and inumerable other do eaments cf . value, were destroyed either by the fire or the wat;:v."
