The Greeks state themselves to e upwardsof 200 sail in all : they are fast's:tiling les. eels, clever seamen, and are said to have Very fine ships amongst them ; but their weight of metal Will of course bear no comparison with the Turks. The latter sailed from Bence again yesterday, and it is pin table we may hear of further encounters shortly. On the sth inst. the Greeks took by storm the fortress of Tripolitza, the inland capital of Moue. ' A letter from Havre in the Paris papers states the Occurrence df a singular and tragic event is that town. During the, time of Evening Service, at Notre Dame , a man entered the Chapel des Freres, knelt upon the steps of the Altar, said his prayers, aid then palling oit a pistol, shot himself in the bead. Several women in consequence fainted, and a great alarm provailed. The suicide was conveyed to the Hospital, where he' was found to be a Serjeant in the Veteran Cannoniers, named Lamothe. He died after two days of dreadful agony, leaving a wife and *roe children. The motive for the act is not known. Letters from Canton, of tile 16th April, have been received, which speak of the situation of affairs there as tranquil and prosperous. The new Viceroy of Canton was on very good terms with the English, and filled the difficult post of mediator between our countrymen and his own Government with great prudence and mode ration. Cotton was at a low price. so as to afford little profit to those who made it an article of export from Hindostan to China. tier Royal Highness the Princess Augusts, is On petted to arrive in London on Wednesday next. Mr. Watkins, her Royal Highness's maitre orkotei at Frog mere, has been at Buckingham-house some days mak lag preparations for her reception. An ultra print announced last week, that Sir Thos. Lawrence bad nearly finished a BRAUTIFOI. likeness of the King, in his Coronation Robes. This was. no doubt, giving an additional tint to the plasm, and a hint at the pointer's courtly attention to the wishes of the Monarch. It %vete much to be wished that bis Ma jesty's Ministers would give such flattering portraits of Lis subjects. On Sunday the Doke of Wellington and suite peeved 'through Birmingham on their way to Mr. Littleteo's seat, at Teddesley, Staffordshire. EDINBURGH, Nov. 23.—0 n Wednesday the Lord Proiost, Magistrates, and Council, unanimously agreed 'to present a dutiful and loyal address to his Majesty, on his safe arrival in Britain, after his late visit hisdominioas in Ger Many. Oa the same day the motion formerly made in the Town Council to reduce the salary of the Lord Provost from 10001. to 8001. per annum, was again taken into consideration, when after some discussion it was agreed without a vote, that the salary in future should be 8001. STATUS TO TIII DUKE Or Kawr.--Thirteen hltn eked pounds it is understood, were subscribed for a statue to the memory of the Duke of Kent, by philan thropic individuals. Models were submitted to the Committee ; and one was universally approved of, which is now nearly ready for public inspection. The Duke appears in au erect posture. standing in his robes. underneath which the uniform of a Field Marshal is conspicuously blended. His Royal High ness leans on a pedestal. The right arm reclines on the bible; the left supports the drapery underneath theirms of the house of Guelph. The pedestal is com posed of a pure block of Aberdeen granite. There is in the countenance a mingled expressions of august dignity, pious awe, and chastened ecatacy, which gives ; an air of sublimity to the whole. No place is as yet fixed upon for its erection : but It stptoi 2 d, that the crescent, at the top of Fortiori. place, will be the spot selected. A matrimonial alliance is on the tapir., and approach ing its ultimatum, which will units two of the noblest and wealthiest families in this country. The parties are, the Lady Mary Stanley, only daughter of the Earl sad Countess of Derby, who gives her hand to the Right Hon. the Earl of Wilton, second urn of the Earl and Countess of Grosvenor. The Earl of Wilton is Peer in his own right, having succeeded, in virtue of the patent of creation, to the title and a great portion of the estates Si the late Earl, his grandfather on the maternal side.

The place was the residence of a better kind of farmer sear Shea. who had recently put oat some under-tenants, at will, as they are called, who held without lease, by Civil Bill Process, and had poseessed himself of their lands. For this be was served with a .notice, that. unless he restored the old occupants; be should stiffer for it; and being determined to preserve his property, and to resist the attack with which be was menaced, he provided himself with fire-arms, in sufficient number for good defence, and got into his house two or three neighbours, of resolute character. for his assistance. These precautions, it seems, were fatally rendered useless, for, at a late boar on Monday night, he and his numerous family, consisting in all of eighteen, diem, women, and children, found the dwelling house in flames around. them. Shea, the owner, appears to hive.been the first to burst out on his assailants. but was instaatly shot, and thrnwn back into the dames another making a similir attempt shared the same fate ; and, before the murderers departed, every seal *ln 'the house was burned to death ! This is the pith and marrow, as far as we can learn it from an eye wit less of the ruins, who bas taken out Mr. Thompson, the Conner, to bold an inquest on the bodies. The conflagration, which continued until a late hour mist day morning, was seen in various directions, at a long distance; and one gentleman, asking a countryman, whom be met on the road, two or three miles from the 'place, what could occasion such a fire, was answered with perfect meg froid, " Notbine, I suppose, but satisfaction they are taking for the poor people that were turned out of their houses t'other day." (7110111 'Mt C 10,11161. aDVCITI32II.) CLONMEL, WZIDNEIInAT, NOV. 24:—1% is with feel ings of the deepest horror we have to state, that on Monday night. or early yesterday moraine . the house of Mr. Edmond Shea, as opulent farmer, at Ousts. pish, near Cloneen, befireeifFethard and Mulliitabone, Barony of Middletbird, in 'this county, and at the North-west foot of Sltevetaisau mountain, was de stroyed by fire, with Named She% his wife, (who ins supposed to have lain in that unhappy night of an la test) five children, a fine young woman who had bees on a visit at the house, five laboatteg sees, and three servant maids!!!

It bad been mentioned in town throughout the whole of yesterday, that nineteen persons suffered, viz. that Edmond Shea was shot by banditti. in attempting to escape from the house, and eightees others perished in the flames ; but it appears there is yet no evidesee of this. it is mere matter of uncertainty, and we ttast somewhat exaggerated. Though we are desirous of confining ourselves as much as possible to matter of fact, independent of loose et' idle conjecture, or hearsay, it is just we should million that scarcely a doubt exists the conflagration was felonious. and the consomme of a serious attack by murderous banditti; and we have the isformadou from persons who were passing near the scene, that about two yesterday morning they heard several shots, and soon afterwards saw an omissive ire in the direc tion of Clone's, as they were ou their way to Closes& It appears there sou a jealousy against the Sims regarding some ground they lately came into posses sion of, and it is supposed this was the cause of the catastrophe ; but of this we know nothing. Of souse of these facts, we suppose, we shall be better isforesed, when the result of the Coroner's Inquest is known. We understand the Inquest will not be held till this day.

No other letters, however, by the same conveyancy, contain any hint of such an occurrence. The Rio Janeiro Bank still contineed tep experience the pressure caused by the departure of the King. and the failure of their projected loan in Europe; , and as a measure of expediency, they bad bated two , millions of rein in copper tokens, with which they were making payments, often in whole bags of copper, without any proportion of gold and silver. ' The following is an extract from a letter received from an officer . at Rio Janeiro : a! Rio JANZIRO, Sam 30.—The English schooner Samuel arrived here on the 26th inst.. in fourteen days from the river Plate, bringing certain accounts of the fall of Lima to the Independent forces under General San Martin and Lotd Cochrane---an event viewed by the merchants here of no small importance, as opening a market for the purchase of British manu factures. All the ships lately on this station are roved Cope Horn, except the Slaney, Capt. Stanhope, which ship is in the river Plate. The Blossom, 28, Captain Vernon, and Alacrity, Capt. Hos. Fred.

On the 14th last. the Aurora frigate, Capt. Henry Prescott, C. 8., arrived from England, after a tedieas passage of 47 days from Plymouth, and 34 from Madeira : she re mains here, being second in command on the station.

The Morgiana, Captain Finlaison, is lying here, from the coast of Africa. She has sent bito Bahia a schooner, with 170 slaves on board. All is quiet at this place, but there appears i great want of confidence in the present State Managers : and what Is worse for us, the Portuguese have not any money in eirculation,and every thing is very dear. The Beaver sails for Bahia to-morrow. The convict ship Proei deuce, with 200 female coOvicts on board, bound to Botany Bay, is lying bete." P.S.

The fire engine was put in one of the boats, for the purpose of washing the ship round, with the boats Wain, and two men and two boys ; the first Lieutenant layaear, in a small boat. with two boys to direct. By some neglect, the fire engine dipped on one side, when'several of the men moving suddenly over to replace it, the boat filled and disap peared, wi th men mete, /sc. for some seconds. On coming up, the boys in the small boat threw their oars to those in the water, which rendered the boat 'manageable. Fortunately those who could swim reached the small boat and ship, and were picked up; two (a man and a boy), unable to swim. still straggled, and would certainly ban perished, but that Mr. Hopkins, a midshipman. jumped overboard after, and saved the man ; and Mr. Meredith, the first Lieu- Mast, jumped after and secured the boy, whom they held up GOOD WIMP WI a boat arrived to their as- sistana.

INVOLUNTARY PARRICIDE IN AUIRICAr..BILLR. fONT, OCT. Ile Bth day of October, Wei. Judge Forrester, of biflifean County, was shot god dentally by his son. The circumstances relating • this melancholy event are as follows :—The soli left home for the purpose of hunting wolves : after.he bad been gone some time, the father went out fon the same purpose. As is common among hunters, • one of them set up a howling, after the manner of a 'wolf; and was answered by the other. They continued bowling in this manner until they approached each' other within a very short distance. The father bad bid himself, behind a log, placing brush upon his Imiek to disguise himself so that when the wolf (as he sup posed) came near enough to shoot, it would not be frightened away. Having raised himself a little for that purpose, the son observed the motion, fired, taking the object fired at to be a wolf. The ball entered the right side of the neck, and passed out at the left hip.. The son, on finding what bad happened, took off his coat and vest, placed them under his father's - head. and started home for the purpose of getting aid ; but his senses fled before he reached hie father's residence; be became deranged, and was found in that situation ; not knowing or having a power at that time to relate the dreadful and heartrending tale. CAUTION TO COLLIER/go—A fatal accident occurred at the Wolverhampton Colliery on Wednesday. week. W. Ball, a miner, was descending a Iron stone•pft its skip, when, after having been lowered only -II 'fine yards, the whimsey by some means turned, and he'was' drawn up again with great rapidity. Upon coming to the month of the pit, he jumped from the skip, and clang with his hands to the pit frame, to save lint self from being drawn over the pulley; but either the skip. or the tackling chalaby which it was fastened.' caught his leg, and drew them up with it. After re• mining a few seconds with his heels uppermost. hie feet became disentangled, and he was then compelled W let go his held of the pit frame, fell headlong down the shaft, a depth of nearly 80 yards, and was instan taneously killed. An inquest has been held upon the llody of the deceased before H. Smith, lIsq; ,Coroner. and it appears by the evidence, that the engineer, W. Dunning, whose duty it was to watch the descent of the skip, had quitted his post to supply the bollix with slack, during which time the accideat happened. The Jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Dunning, and he has been committed to gaol. On Saturday last the 17th inst. a dreadful accident happened in Peterborough. An ox was irritated ha passing through the town, and ran into some fields were two persons happened to be engaged in cutting hay ; one of them Anthony Ashley Holmer, who Lad been for 46 years a faithful labourer in the nursery of Mr. Flutter, of Peterborough, had just alighted from the stack, and was advancing towards the animal, when it furiously assailed him, and one of its borne penetrating under his chin, pierced quite through the unfortunate man's head. and protruded at the skull. In this situation, poor Holmes was carried twelve yards on the horn of the furious beast, and was then shaken off. It is remarkable that, though so fatally wounded, he lived for several hours, made his will, and gave other directions respecting his family. An inquest was held on the body on Monday, before John Gates, dent. Coroner for the City of Peterborough, and a verdict of " Accidental Death" returned. The ox was afterwards shot, but as it did not appear that it bad exhibited any previous symptoms of wild• ness, the Jury found a deodand of ss. only.—(Sfues -4 Mercury.) MARKETS.
