A few clays ago at Manchester a numerous es. sembluge of persons attacked the Police Officers, who had been employed in poming , . Proclamations ; whom they assail al with stones anl other missiles. It was found necessary to call out a party of the military on Wednesday last, when the Riot Act was read, and the multitude, consistvig of about 2000 persons, were dispersed. The sales at the India Rouse on Monday were, we understand, the must discouraging that have taken place for a series of years. Rice, fur instance, which some months ago sold at 2.55. per cwt. was disposed of at 101. ; while pepper was sold at little more than the amount of the tax ; of 6,000 bugs exposed fur sale, purchasers did not offer eveu- at thoseterins for more than 1,800. For other species there were no purchasers ; and as to saltpetre, which has been heretotiire such a profitable article of com- • merce fur the Company, no bidder w:ls to be found. • Preparations arc making at Bushy Park for the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, who are expected to strive from the Continent about the middle of next-mon h. ►lela,choly- Death of Capt.

This gallant officer was descending a very. narrow and dangerous passage from 111111 mill-hill to Europe-fints, when he fLII down a precipice, and was killed on the spot. A rope was used fur &wending this passage by the officers, which was chafed by rubbing a sharp point of a rock, When Capt. Stafford laid hold of the rope it gave way, and he was precipitated more titan 40 feet : tlie rope was found in his hand clinched. He has left a widow and sin children to lament his- loss ; a subscription was set on foot fur his family, who are entirely destitute.

A very general dread of infectious disorders, from this source appears to he entertained throughout Nortli-Aine rice and the West-India Islands. The accounts from Newfoundland respecting the fisheries are extremely favourable. Some of the three handed boats from St. John's had previously to the 1-2 th of June, taken 40 quintals of fish en shore, and the catch was still good. The fine plantation of Thomas Tarleton, Esq., if Boleswortli Castle, on the hills at liraxtoa, in Che shire was wilfully set on fire in four places, early in the morning of Wednesday se'nnight, by which means two acres of young, healthy trees were destroyed. and it was with great difficulty that the cottagers win reside.] adjo wing the plantation, which consists of about six acres, could save their little property from the flames. One hundre I guineas reward is offered in the Gazette of Tuesday night, fir the ap prehension of the offender. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT TILE SVAT OF Sl■ JOHN LrICESTER, iN CIISSIIIRE.—We sincerely regret to state the unfiirtunate and greatly to he de plored occurrence of part of the magnificent scat of that truly worthy and respected character Sir Joint Leicester, of Tubley, in Cheshire, having in the course of Friday night last been consumed by fire, with the whole of the.extenive offices of every des cription.—An express announcing this lamentable fact reached Liverpool on Saturday last, near which place Sir John and his lady have for scone weeks re sided, in consequence of the sea air being prescribed for the benefit of her ladyship's health. Such was the destructive force of the flames, that nothing but the extraordinary and unprecedented exertions of the neighbouring tenantry, made at the imminent risk of their lives, could have saved the whole of the splendid mansion frotn failing a prey to the fury o f the devouring clement. From what cause the are originated is at present unknown ; but from the great and well merited popularity of Sir John among all ranks, there is not even the slightest ground litr surmise that an event which is in deeply deplored by the whole neighbourhood could have arisen from any tf;ing else than mere accident.

If this were true, it would argue an apprehension on the part of the French (:ovens_ mem, that troubles are on the point of breaking out in tiixuu. That many fears of internal dis turbance are entertair,ed by some of the Courts of Germany, is probable from the number of arrested Pula7s, and from the various movements, a di plomacy as well as police, which indicate the exist ence of uneasy feelings. Advice, from Belie', Bay of Honduras, were received on Friday, to the '4sth ofJune. Numerous vessels• were waiting fisr cargoes, detained beyond the. • r-sual periirl by the backwardness of the rainy season, and the consequent want of water us the rivers to convey the logwood, mahogany, nod other produce, to the coma.

His is after condemnation was consist e nt .with his awful situation, and he met his ignominious fate with firmness. His crime, es our readers• may re. member, was attended with cirerunstances . of peca.. liar atrocity, having murdered•bis wife in the most deliberate manner, in order. to marry a female to who:n he was paying his addresses -ar a single man. The body, after .Laving been suspended an hour, was removed from the scalKild, and was innaediately conveyed in a cart, accompanied by the sheritf officers and -constables, to the Chemical Lecture Room in the Botanical Garden, where Professnr Cumming.

The Coburg 13tigbton coach, on its way to town, was overturned at Cuelfield on Monday afternoon. The accident occurred immediately after fresh horses had been put to the coach. The leaders, as fre quently happens, were unruly at starting, and, in spite of every etliirt to restrain them, brought the coach into sudden emit:let with a waggon, which was passing at the tiara, and the whole was precipitated to the ground. The consequences were most ter.. rible. Of eleven passengers who occupied the root; scarcely vac escaped unhurt. One gentleman died shortly after from the injuries received by the fal7, and another had his arm fractured ut the shoulder.. joint in No severe a manner as to render his recovery doubtfid. Five others were detained at Cuektield, unable to proceed to town on acertunt of the hurts they had sustained. The coach had three inside passengers at the tine, who fortunately escaped without injury. Another accident of the same kind happened at St. Alban't on Sunday last, when the Manchester Teleg•taph, on its way from London, was upset. and , some of the pmsgengers severely hurt. The couch. man was so severely bruised about the head, that till 'Tuesday n: ! ;ht he could not speak ; one passen ger had his ankle-bone broken, and another his arm ; the b )1y of the coach was dashed to pieces. ~;.1'
