Th. , famed Amet•can frigate, Chesapeake, a mock cf their navy, which became the Shannon's glorious prize, and was condemned .at Plymouth, Juts been purchased by Messrs. PtiThman and Holmes, , of PortEnouth, who are under bond to Government, to break her up the next spring. She has been ;_brought round to Portsmouth harbour, by Captain George Goble, of Bosham, with a crew of 19 men . only, under jury masts, in the most scaman,like -runnel., arta. is a great object.of attention among nautical men.. She is, unquestionably, us fine a ship . tts eve." swam ; her timbers are remarkably. stoutt ; her upper deck is 174 feet in length, and 41 feet 6 inches. in. the midships; she mounted 54 guns of • Leavy Mend, and was the Shannon's superior in every respect but discipline. Capt. Sir I'. Broke's manseuvre Of boarding her under cover of the smoke of the second broadside, was what they did re expect, nor were prepared for, and to this may b.., attributed the happy rosult which has covered the Captain, oflit!ers, and crew of the Shannon, with immortal honour. Letters, silted Sept. 21., were received on Tittles , day from. Cadiz In that city and its vicinity, the yeliow.fever still raged with undiminished violence. On the . 2.,31 and 24th of September, dr , sleuths at Cadiz were from sixty-six to sixty-eight tacit duy. l In the Isle of Leon, on the 231, the deaths were.. .119. It Was reported at Cadiz that. the. fever had made its appearance in the City.of, Cordova. The Hornet, from the United •States, with despatches. was off.adiz on the 21st ult., but the state of the ( city nos allowing her to anchor there, she had pro . seeded to Malaga. - The grand expedition was post. .iatned 'till the beginning of January ; this is the earliest day named in any of the letters, but a very general belief prevailed, that its objects were wholly abandoned. Applications fur the benefit of the Insolvent Acts of New York seem to increase daily; the lust Albany Argus contains about 450 notices, from which it is . presumed the yearly applications.amount to nearly • 3,000. Dr. EATCLIFFE.—One evening as this Gentleman was sacrificing in a tavern to the purple god, to whom lie was as much devoted, as to the god of phy sic, a Gentleman entered. in great haste, a most breathless—" Doctor, toy wife is at the point of death, „make haste ; come with me." " Not till I have..cmished my. bottle, however," replied the Doc tor. The man, who happened to be a fine t:thletic fcllow, finding entreaty useless, snatched up the Doctor, and carried hint out of the tavern. The mo ment be set the Doctor upon his legs, he received from him, in a very emphatic manner, the following threat " Now, you rascal. I'll cure your wife in revenge."—The Doctor kept his word. The ship Kamtscha - ka, which was sent two years ago by the Russian Government, under the, command of Captain Golownin, to •Kamptschatka, and the Kurile and Aleutian islands, arrived safe at Cronstadt on the 17th ult. from its voyage. The ship Kutusow, Captain Hagemeister, belonging to the American Company, who arrived rtt:Cconstadt on the 19th ult. with a rich cargo, after an absence of three years. This ship visited the Spanish ports on ,the coast of America, Callao, Acapulco, -&e. and comes last front Batavia. In the course of a month, the Company will send two other ships to its settle ment on the north-west coast of America. A new yacht is now building fur the Prince --Regent at Portsmouth, which fire elegance will ~probably surpass every thing of the kind. The first artists are employed in the embellishments; and it is understood that the gilding of the erne .nicnts alone will cost nearly 1,0001. The burden of the vessel is 281 tons, anti the upper deck is 103 feet in length. She is to be called the Regent, and her head will be an immense bust of that illustrious personage, supported b y full-length figures of Bri- . tannia and Neptune. The vessel will be launched .in the spring of next year. It is eith pinto' feelmgs that we record the follow ing tragical story, the settle of winch was in toe neigh bourlinod of %Voitlil :—Early on Sunday worn ng, as two of the gamekeepers belonging to J. A.S. Wortley, 'Esq., mere going their WWI folilldp, they perceived* , lour men ahprodelting on the high road, who thel supected were bent on unlawful sport. I'hey ,would h,aa concealed themselves in a. contiguous quarry jo watch their motions, but, believing themselves al ready seen, they proceeded on till they met, when one of them familiarly accosted the first of the company ( w h om h e knew) by saying, " Well, my lad, thou ham got thy gun with thee this morning. and (stroking Ilia(' on his waistcoat,) plenty of 'Melts too!" The fellow, .ittnne.d:ately replyiwg. "What, do t ou went to rob toe 3 - . preaented,his Niece psi jlive4, the contents passing com• idetelY through the .bpdy of the keeper lie had tin sooner fallen, than they all instantly attacked his compa nion, and knoeLd him down with the blot-end of tits; gnu; while they were beating hint with sticks a cry of " Stick him, k 1 ; stick in," was overheard by the unfor tunate mats who was already wounded; the sound sud denly rousing him to a vigorous effort, lie maaagerl to _seise his sou. and w level it at the group as they were engaged in the barbarous attack 11pUll his comrade. The shut took effect capon one of theta, and brought I • down, when the saltet three innuealLtudy lied. The eamek"eper, being released, though dreadfully bruised, crawled ma cottage nut kr distant, and spread an alarm. Warrants were immediately procured, and search matte. The man who had been shot by the first keeper was ' in bed at his own house, shit is likely to recover ; an other (the 111.111 who shot the keeper) was apprehended, and brungitt yesterday to ShtHl-Id gaol ; and the re maining two have akocondeti. They all resided in fife neiehbouring village of Grenoside. 'The keeper, who fell tinder the attack of the whole gang %IS Hot danger ously hurt, but his wounded collea4l3e, we are grieved to add, died yesterday.—*ffield Ocl. 14. There is a set of thiaves now lurking about variou parts of the town, who, when opporunity offers, steal the locks off gates an•i doors which are occa sionally left open. They find n realy sale for those in iron shops which are known as fencer in different parts of the City and Westminster. Turner, in a letter from Wales to his principal backer, says he has lamed himself in the knee in training. so that the fight with him and Martin, on the 26th instant, is not likely to take place. The 100 guineas is deposited on both sides, there fore there must he a fight, or ii>rfeit. The battle between George, the black servant of a Captain Smith, and Sam Arnold, a noted wrest ler and boxer, from Gloucestershire, took place yesterday at Thorn, about six miles from Black water. It was a severe fight of six rounds, in 30 minutes. In the fourth round George got his left jaw pot oat of the socket, besides the loss of two double grinders ; and in the sixth and last, his jaw 41:11, and he was carried away. Both were hide ously beaten,land Arnold, although a winner, could not walk. Fatal Mistake .—A Mr. Bridge, a Gentleman very ifond of field sports, resident near Dorchester, met with a serious loss a few weeks since. On his leav ng home fur Church, he was followed by a lad who had the care of his dogs, who said the meal was ex hausted, and that the dogs would be starved. Ile requested, therefore, to know what was to be done-- '• Hang the dogs!" exclaimed Mr. Bridge, in an angry tone, vexed at the abrupt and unseasonable manner in which he was addressed. The lad made no reply, and returned to the house full of sorrow and surprise. The angry exclamation of his master was taken tar a peremptory order: the poor lad, with un aching heart, lost not a moment to carry it into execution; and Mr. Bridge, on his return home from Church, had the misfortune of finding his fine brace of greyhounds and a leash of the best spaniels in Dorsetshire, hanging dead. in his stables. One evening last week an owl flew in at the back window of the Brewer's Arms, Milbank Street, Westminster, during the time the company 'were regaling themselves, supposed to have come from the Abbey, and on Sunday evening a partridge flew in at the same window. An affecting anecdote is related in the French Papers :—A young man took a dog into a boat, rowed to the centre ref the Seine, and threw the animal over with intent to drown him—the poor dog often tried to climb up the side of the boat, but his master as often pushed him back, till overba lancing himself, he fell overboard. As soon as the faithful dog saw his master in the stream, he left the boat, and held him above the water till help arrived from the shore, and his life was saved. SHOOTING EXTR . AORDINARY.—Ir. 'Pyler, of Gol den-Grove, late in tile Commissariat Departmetn, has betted Cdpiaiti Twycross, of Laburnum Cothge, three hundred guineas, that lie kills the most gatne in t writ-, tv-one sitertssis e days, the former to he confined to the county of Norfolk, the latter to that of Suftoik. They start as soon as the prerarations can be completed, pro bably in a lew days. Mr. T. from Cromer, and the Captain from Lowestoff, and they are to cross the country towards Thetford, and rendezvous there on.tbe evining of the 21st day. Captain Twycross has 'long been celebrated for his excelleutpointers, and perhaps' is on that account backed 6 is, 4. Still Mr. Tyl •T is an unerrinsisheasant shot, and his friends are no less coo fident of his success. Both gentlemen must be tolerable markwiten, whets we add, that 51. has been receited to return =guineas if the loser bag less than sou head, =elusive et sabbils. The Sporting Magazine, jest published, contains a' lever dated Norwich, Sept. which states as follows: -s--" A mare, the property of a gentleman in this neigh bores/mod, was Lately attacked apparently with a violent fit of the chnlic. The remedies usual in bad cases were immediately applied, but without producing the smallest effect. The poor animal endured the most excruciating agony for Ift or 18 hours, when a mortification ensiled, which soon put a period to its sufferings. On opening the stomach it wag found to contain tierce balls, con taining the stones of haws perfectly concreted, and each of them larger than a Wale' list, which obstructed a passage to the viscera, inasmuch is that the medicines were found in the same state as they were poured down, immediately above them. Another mare was attacked icohe same way the following day, but the symptoms *ere less violent, and, by the application of strong re medies, she WAS recovered. Au old man, who has been Ott the premises set etal years, informed use he remem bered the death of a horse having once before happened from a sinstiar seine irok."
