windows. Uric' of " The Queen for ever," resound ed f:ons all (ratters. Previously to this there had been ter, or three windows broi;en in front of the blayer's c! ellieg. The crowd then passed on with the elfi-tire towards the Ouildhall. On their t etern about ten o'clock, just as they got to the Mayen's dooy,the special constables, by a signal from a watch man's rattle, rushed in a body upon - the cart, and tore the effigies in pliers. This act of aggression roused the indignation of the mob, and, after (hieing away the constables, they commenced a regular attark era the Mayor's windows, and broke to the number of ein penes. They then attempted to force the shatters of the Mayor's shop, and tried to get into time lause. .Ahont this time the Mayor himself made his appeal ance, and was - immediately recognised by the mob, who :Awed him with opprohrinns name!, hooted and Moiled hint. In making his retreat he was pelted with mod, and was struck on the back of the neck by a brickbat, which hart him severely. A large stone, aimed at his head, fortunately missed hint, or probably the blow would have been fatal. lle succeeded in getting to the Town-hall, and, accompanied by two Aldermen and the Town Clerk, he returned to the scene of riot. The soldiers were then called in to clear a passage to the house, and having entered, the Mayor ordered the Riot Act to be read from the win ,tow of the second floor. The Town Clink proceeded to real it. awl whilst in the act of Join , . so, several ?Ones were thrown, which covered his book with I. , :iken alas'. The Mayor then warned the mob to iterrt in qitietnese: but they continued to ding stones at the house. -IV lien the Mayor descended again into the street, be was reviled and abused vehemently.— The mob exilaiined against using military force; and said they would not be governed by mili!ary law.— Upoo which the .soldiers were ordered nut of sight, sail time noise and tn 1111 l It increased. W hen the mili t•r: were brought back , however, peace WAS restored, ani by four in the morning the streets were c.eared. The defendants were charged with taking part in these riotous procee.lings. The main question in the case was their identity. A vast number of witnesses were examined on boil sides. After a long trial. the Defendants were Acetw TED, eptiarently to the satisfaction of most present. 'fins oyster cause, in which the Corporation of Qu:enbaryugh was su:Tessful, occupied the Court the whole at Friday. The Assizes for the County of Kent, which com menced at Maidstone on last Tuerylay morning, did rat finish in the criminal Court until twelve o'clock on Saturday night: Ibe gaol calendar exhibited ninety prisoners, of wlinni twenty-nine were capitally con victed and received sentence of death. Seven received sentence of transportation, two for fourteen, and live for seven vars. Tneuty-two un the Calendar were acquitted and twelve were slim:barged by proclama tion.

New INycN rstis.l—Notlsing can afford a higher gr ion to the American than to mark the pro g:ess of invention, improvement, and ingenuity iii his 1 . • t . . .irVillen, We hate now to add to the list the r a• vat Fire Shield, invented by Mr. Ralph Buckley, of t i, city, ore of the most simple, and, it appears to us, t e most ffeetnal protectiun of property from lire ever is!•tnted. This shield is intended to protect firemen wi Ott employed is estinguithing fires, hut its parti c s'ar design is to prevent tire from spreading. It is %yell linown that when a house is on fire, if it can be saved after Or tints is lost in bringing up the engines, it 'InISt fleces..trilv be very munch tl..maged. The evil to 'se apprehended is the spreading of this devouring islet:Asti, which frequently lays whole blocks of build i-,..• at:d s o metimes whole cities in ashes, in• v r ntioss is intended to arrest the evil on the spot where it o riginates, by enabling firemen to approach so neat t!-.e flames as to protect surrounding propaty. As this intention is of deep interest to our citizens, and par ticularly in the southern cities, so mach afflicted by fres of late, we deem it necessary to be particular in our explanations. The shield is made of a metallic ss ibstatice; *thin, light, and impervious to beat ; it is of a length and breadth sufficient to cover the whole person ; it may be used in several different positions. For example--Lwhen used in the street, it is firmly fixed on a small platform, with wheels, and a short ele vation from the ground. The fireman takes his 'Lind on this platform and behind the shield ; he is dragged by ropes near the current of heat and flames, without beir.g scorched or feeling any inconvenience, and, with the hose-pipe or leader in Isis hand, lie directs the water to the part where it is most required. Its this way a line of shields may be formed in close order, is front of a powerful heat, and behind which the fire men may stand with safety and play upon the houses . with their water-pipes. The utility therefore of this invention may be seen at a glance; it enables firemen to brave the fames with impunity, whereas, in most in +stances of excessive heat, they are driven off, and the flames are permitted to spread. The shield is used in another and equally beneficial way. By varying the f4tm it is carried up stairs to the third story of the houses oat on fire, hut where the roof requires water. and by a simple machinery carried in hand, it is pro• jetted from a window like a painter's platform; the leader Is then carried through the house, up stain, and out of the window. and is directed by a fireman behind - the shield to that part of the 'adjoining houses which it may be necessary to protect. It is' extremely useful in churches and from steeples, and may be gp.- plied in a variety of ways. Firemen have been fire, 'neatly injured in health and person, by approacKag. too near Uri fames and giving full scope to that tete:: pidlty of character and humanity for which they are • distinguished. fly this fire shiehl they will be' effec tually pretested, aid it will be Nand, streets, to be pecullerltesetal.---(Cherkeen 2'imee.) APFAMS • ZASTC. ot'l.v I account of 11r. green, the Bow Consul, been to Patras, the end of June, with a fleet of men of war, consistine• of the itecoltvionnaire, 44 gun.: Cambrian, ZiO i Spey, 20; Scout, IS; and Chanti cleer, 16. This squadron was sent up from Corfu, in consedidience of representations respecting outragee, committed by flee Greeks and lonians on ionion boats of passage: but it bad also another object—tbat of convincing the Creeks that their proceedings were taken notice of. The Paella Intl left Patras with troops for Laila, but the fleet got lo.ritilssion, which was never before grunted, to pass the Dardanelles of Lepanto, and sailed up to the Greek vessels at oa lasidi, where they found abont SO ships in all, but only 3of them were armed. The Hydriotes, Sri- ziotes, and Irariots, bad abandoned their attack on Patras and Lepanto three days before, and had sailed for Hydra, after 27 days spent in doing nothing. They had two of their vessels dismasted by the Turkish cur yette and 3 brigs under Lepanto. After delivering the despatches to the person in command, to be seut to Ily•Ira, the fleet returned to Patras and Zante, after at% absence of six days. Captain Pellew tired! a salute a: Patras, at the request of she Commandant, which was returned from the c:tadel. There is no danger of the Dreelds attacking Patras for some time, as tisuf Pacha, who had gone on an expedition to 1411 i, heal returned with all the Lalliots and their families. The Lalliots had been besieged very closely by about 4,000 Moriots, and 2,000 men from Cctationia and Zante, with 6 pieces of cannon. Thee Lalliots sent to Patras forlassistance, begging permission to come and settle three, and to destroy Laila, as was don.- in 1771. 1 he Pacha went to them in person, wi • h I,t.:Ollntan, and spon his arrival a great battle was fouglit, the Lal liots attacking on one side, and the troops of Patras on the other. The lonians did some u ith their guns as the Paella advanced, but he charged them at the bead of his men ; and the Lalliots attack ing the Moriots at the sante time, these last Cell when they lead fared their muskets, and left the lonians to fight. The consevence was a total overthrow of the Greeks anti lonians, about live hundred and fifty brim put to the sword, and forty lonians taken pr.sonerd, who were impaled or hanged on the ti.. 1•1 of hank. I he rest fled, and arrivetl at tilde in a Innst ing condition. The Ts:clod returned to P.:tras. By he last accounts they had about 6,0j0 nl , ll there. They were distressed fur corn, but had sent a+lYa third - if the troops to attack the Bishop. The Pacha is a :nan of undaunted coin-sloe, as well as his officers. The Turks lo , t abonf tst) niece at Lalla, chit tiv killed by the lonians. Not o'er fort or castle in the !.loritit has hitherto been taken by the Greeks, but it is probable that the Turks may be starved out at Corms, Napoli de Malvoisin, and Nayarin, as they were 4 tie last ex tremity. I think, however, that they will blow up the cas lei, and attempt to cut their way to Patras or Tri polliza rather than espilti:ate, as they well know the fate that would au alt them in so doing. •At Heat a the Greeks actually roasted the 'l'urks alive by a slow tire, at st cutting off their ears and noses. This you may rely on as an undoubted fact, as well as all l have related. The Turkish fleet that was at Patroi came to Zante for provisions, and was supplied. The Capitana Bey was otiCorfts in want of Men and proyi-ions. If it rould have attacked the Hydriotes at Lepanto, I ink he would leave taken them. 7'111.: 1111.1Z1 LS. The Rio Janeiro Ga:rit.: of the 9th June, states the particulars respecting the serious events that hare Watt place at Rio since the King's departure. From these it appears that the forms of the Portugnese Con stitution, as far as they could be known at that date to have been sanctioned by the Cortex,. have, without waiting, as originally intended, for their completion. been forced by the soldiery on the Regent's accept ance. They, at the !same time, demanded other changes in the form of government established by the King. Though immediate compliance was accorded by the Prince, there is reason to believe that it was not ‘4 ithout considerable repugnance on his part. The official documents published on the occasion consist -Ist. Of a dectee establishing a Junta of nine Depu ties. to be subordinate to the Cortes at Lisbon, but to have control over the Regent's Ministers.-241.

An authorised list of the Junta, subjoined to another Royal decree. Count i:os .Arcos returns to Europe, and the tranquillity of Rio Janeiro remained undis turbed at the date (9th June) when the letteri were written. A gentleman who had occasion to visit the capittu t bf Texas, states that on his deportee.* 'mans .giae‘gs doodles he found the American settlensent , t to continue (or about fifteen miles on the great road leading to the seat of government and to his astonishment on his return (u hieb was in a month,) he met the advanced posts of those settlements at least seventy miles in the Interior! However, these settlements were ticx first habitations of wen be had seen, in travelling a distance of nearly five hundred miles. The old L on i s i al ", ruad through the country is still discernable, though there is not the least sign of the abode of a civilized being for the whole way, after the traveller parses the Ater rican improvements until he arrives in St. Antonio. — Bet the most important fact respeiting Texas 14ich has come to our knowledge, is, that a concession of the immediate country at the mouth of the great river Colorado has actually been made to a gentleman of the West, by the Spanish authorities, on condition that he will cultivate the lands and bring with him a • certain number of families. The Colorado empties into the Bay of St. *mord. and at the contemplated spot will afford a tine bubo tr. A town upon an eztensief plan; is to be lid out, which will enjoy the advantage of a port o entry, .agreeably to a late order of the Cortes establigdig port town at the .t mouth of the Colorado."

When a measure is conceived in spite and brought 'forth in imbecility, the vexation that is produced with the abortion must vent itself in blaming every ci .11.tut stance that attends it, except the weak and worthless source from w Lich it sprung. On the failure of the despicable scheme t•f depriving the people of London of the opportunity of olering their.sad tribute of re spect to the :winery of the QUEEN they loved, the first ,expression of spleen was tlirected by the advocates of the Court against :lie Noble Earl whn holds the reins of tlovernmens. is Such a defeat," said they "would not Rave been allowed to happen had the M inl,tess of LONPONDLRIZY brew at his post. lie would have pro tected the plait with ,tich a military force as would at once have overwhelmed every idea of interruption, or sent, on the first svmptom of an attemi t, such a train of troops to every 'mint as would have ma•!e the dis turbers par full deariv (or their rashness." nut it • was invitlii;us to make comparisons, an I danger- ous to heted dissensions between Ministers of State ; and the safest way of throwing blame was nest imagined to he upon the Magistrate who bad the osilitaty force at his disposal to assist him in eeforcing tl e compulsory execution of the orders of ,Ministers. Poor Sir Robert Baker came in for his share of reflections fir allowing it to be said of bins, without attempting to refute the s'atemciat, that on its bei.:g represented to him that lives would be lost if the funeral were not abased to go through the Cite, he replies!, a• be thonght so, anal had made up his mind to a.. eirongli the City." Still there was something wrong in imputing' any fault to any Officers of tiovernment, ',weever subordinate, and the only mode of railing that was unexceptionable and likely to serve the purpUse. of Government, was to throw the whole islanie alma the rsecattors of her Majesty's will, and the Committee who met at the Freemasons' la vette The former grounds have therefore been aban doned, anal much is doing to make it be believed that the parties last mentioned ate not only to be the scar goats of Ministers in saving them from shame, but after bring devutcl to the reproaches of the venal press, to be delivered over to other tormentors anal dealt with according to law. This idea, of which we gave a hint on Saturday from a Ministerial paper, has barn taken up to-slay by another, anal will no doubt be anised anal employed, so long as it is expedient to make a display of spirit anal produce intimidation. • What course will be pursued by Government on this important occasion," says The New Timer, " we are not informed ; but should presume that a Proclamation for app wing the con trivers and perpetrators of the audacious enterprise , will speedily be issued." It would leave been MOM proper, perhaps to have confised the threat to those who are alleged to have contrived the enterprise ; fur if they apprehend the persons who are termed dm perpetrators, we cannot imagine what jails will be found in the kingdom, numerousand spacious as theyare, that will he sufficient to hold them. It is a bold attempt, (we think Lord Ultimo' observed on the Proclamation against 1::e Americans,in the year 17734 include a whole people in a Bill of Indictment ; and such a Proclamation as is suggested now would denounce such a multitude as never hitherto bad been contemplated as guilty of conspiracy. Why , the populace of London were to be deprived of the last opportunity possible, (anal owe on which they had set their hearts) of rendering their r. specie to their lamented Queen ; and why they should be punished for the irregular means they took of counteracting a most irregular mode of thwarting and sup pressing their honest and orderly desires, when the populace of Dublin were the very same week prepared to be treated with the public entry of the King with all his Court into their city, and no ac commodation or expense was spared to gratify their sight, or to humour their prejudices; why these oppo site treatments were to be determined, unless fur the purpose of setting off the brilliancy of the one by the sadness cf the other, we cannot possibly conceive.— It was profeated to have been the object of his Majesty in proceeding on hart to Ireland at such an unseasonable time , t crease the po pularity and strength of his doyen:trent. In Ireland he is advised to heal dissensions; in England to widen breaches and promite irritation! This is consistent enough with the blachavelian maxim divide et hope,*; bat the policy.
