Two of them are said to be Europeans, and the remaining three natives of India. We sincerely hope this report may prove to be. without foundation; and we d S 9 with the more .confidenec, siace we have never heard alloy persons of ihis description being missing. They arc said, however, to have been taken in a boat coming to Bombay, from some place on the Malabar eoast, anti that the male Europeans in attendance on them were put to death. In the mean time it may be .satisfactory to know, that Captain Loch, in his Alikjesty's ship Eden, in company with some of the Rm. Company's cruisers, has proceeded to the stations frequented by the •pirates, to demand their immediate restoration, should the account prove to be founded in truth. The career of these cruel free booters will, we sincerely hope, be speedily brought to a close. The shades humani generts cannot surely be allowed to exist in the-immediate vicinity of the British power, and in the very track of one of the principal branchos of its trade. A letter from Bristol, dated Dec. Isth, says,— " We •had II tremendous fire here last night in High street, which it was thought would have consumed the whole: of that section of the street extending from the upperearser of Corn-street to the market gate; it brote out a quarter before nine, corn. mencing at Mr. Whitrualsh's, a tea dealer, or rather in a small manufactory at the hack of his premises, used for the stoving of straw bonnets. The flames raged with fury until four Warlock, when, by the exertions of the firemen, their progress was stopped. The following houses are destroyed, with property eu a considerable amount, viz.—Mr. Reeves, a res. pactrible bookseller and stationer; ‘Vhinuarsh's, a tea de der; Brains, a large sloe warehouse, and an empty house, formerly occupied by Mr. Ashmead, haberdasher. No lives providentially were Inst. Wire whole city was in great alarm, and apprehen aions were entertained fur the Castle Bank." About six o'clock on Monday evening, as the Highgate stage, on its way from town, was driving along Gray's-Inn-lane, one of the fire braces, which supyorts the body, happened to break, by which accident a very respectable looking woman, who sat on the outside, with a child about a month old in Lat. arms, was thrown Mr. So careful was she of the child, that it did not receive the slightest hurt ; bat the unfortunate woman, besides having an arm brake, receis:ed acvaral severe contusions on the ham' and other parts of the body ; s he was carr i e d into the shop of a surgeon, where :le had her wounds dressed, after which she was taken inside the coach and proceeded home to Highgate. We understand that Miss O'Neil is speedily to be led to the hymeneal, altar by William Becher, Lai. M. P. for Mallow in Ireland, a gentleman of great opatence, and who proved himself last Session to be as eloquent in the Senate, as the Ludy is on the stage. Mr. Beeler allows Miss O'Neil to settle all the Mayne she has acquired by her talents on her family, and he makes a handsome settlement o n herself. We believe that notice has been given to Covent Garden Theatre, that she deer not mean to appear agaita. This will be the only subject of regret to the public, for otherwise they must rtOttil in her good fortune. 'u... '.4. TIM NATIONAL REGISTER. The following fact, says " The Journal des Debates," cannot fail to be interesting to humanity: —A lady about 40 years of age, who lived at the corner or one of the streets in Paris, was struck early in the month with apa deny. Lavallotte, the physician, was called in, and restored her instantly to lite by bleeding in a jagular vein, anti stimulating the blot to fl iw abut iandy by the application of a common needle to the exterior part of the vein and the nerves. It is thus shown, that the mechanical s:imulant is able to revive nervous sensibility. and by creating a kini of peristalic motion, to deduce from the arteries a great quantity of blood. There is also another instance of the efficacy of this application in the case of a Mr. Chatelin, a linen merchant, who has also been restored to existence under similar circum stances. It is trusted that this discovery will be enerally beneficial. . . Extract from the Haniburgh Correspundeut of the 2:21 Nov.:—" The thllowing stattment has been transmitted to us from London The notion has been circulated very extensively on the Continent, that the English Government have felt so much alarm on the suhject of simultaneous meetings of the populace, expected to take place early in next month, that they have thought it necessary, as a measure utprecantion. to make a distribution of arms among the leading landholders and manutlic turers, to enable them to defend themselves against the Radicals. A similar alarm appears in the columns of the Courier, and from thence has probably spread throughout Europe; Lut it is unnecessary and -unfounded, and you may assure your readers that our Governmeut have neither thought of dis tributing arms, nor would the landholders and manufacturers have accepted them, being able, if necessary, to purchase the means of defence With respect to the Courier, it is not on this occasion alone that his fears have been apparent, having all along predicted the Radicals would proceed to such lengths that the government would be compelled to use coercive measures.'" 13.t.s ern i.itir and tire o'clock on Thursday evening, AU aldrmitig tire broke out in Wel'ilitigton Comsat'.

The efforts of the servants to extinguish the fire in the bed-ruoin were iiietTectual, and in a stout time the whole house was.iti a blaze.
