EXTEriSt‘e Fora:F.o,Y, BY A MAN OF %ASK.— We tintkr•linot a lOritery In a %cry considerable amount has been ilt levied within these few days. The person accused is a man of rank and family. The amount of the bills forged is said to be 15,0001., in three .separatv bills of 6,0001. each. These bids were left to he di-- counted at an eminent bill-broker's in the City, and so admirably well were the Banker's acceptances imitated. that they had no doubt respecting the legality of the in struments; however, the sums being so lare, snit"' inquiry place, whin the forgery was &covered.- Ihe party lets I/Cell apprehended, and a private nation entered into, which we are told, still not hi , proceeded in mini this week. It is supposed tint PIRACIES IN THE MIDITERRANEAN.—Letters from Malta of the 3d ult. state, that Delano, of Liverpool, the master of the William and his crew, have la t n inund guilty of piracy. The trial lasted three (tass and two nights, d they have beets sentenced to be executed on board the ship in which the crime was committed, and afterwards hung in chains. On Saturday morning lust an explosion of fire works took place in the attic of a house in Church street, Birmingham, which blew out the windows, and so dreadfully injured the maker of them, named Underhill, that he was conveyed to the General Hospital in a most dangerous state. Many daring burglaries have lately been commit ted in the town and neighbourhood of Kensing ton ; several of the gang are in custody, two of whom are now under sentence of death. Fron► the information received, and the vigilance of the inha bitants, together with the activity of the Bow-street and other police officers and constables, there is good reason to expect that the whole of this nefari ous gang will soon be in the hands of justice. Sunday the body of a man was found lying in the outer lock of the Wet Ducks, Leith ; it was taken out, and discovered to be the body of Simpson, Boatswain to the Naval Yard, who had fallen in during the night. During the late frost, in the middle of the day, a young cock-pheasant, quite wild, but in an ex hausted state, flew into the passage of the printing office of Messrs. Bentleys', in Dorset -street, Salis bury-square, and with its bill made a considerable noise against the inner door ; the door was opened, and it walked in: it was kept three or four days, and then turned into a gentleman's grounds in Surrey, It is stated in an Edinburgh paper of Tuesday last, The Star, that a letter had been received by the Lord Advocate, from the Sheriff Depute of ltossshire, informing his Lordship that a force of not less than 500 men, and three field pieces, would be necessary to quell the riot, the Highland ers being in full possession of the district. Mr. Baker, the newly appointed Chief Magistrate of Bow -street, attended there in the course of Mon- day, and signed his first warrant in that capacity, fin. the apprehension of a nun charged with high treason. The rubbish is now removed from the 'cite of the old Birmingham Theatre ; and the new Noprietary have taken lamest:ion of the ground.

Tye STonx.—The effects of the dreadful hur ricane on Thursday se'nnight have been severely felt by many of the inhabitants of this port. The oldest seamen here do not recollect 61) sudden and terrible a gale Many houses are much injured, and the whole length of the quay is more or less th waged. During the time it was almost impassible from the cumber of butt's and wreck which covered it. Many parts of the channel, and along the coast, have been also strewed with floating wreck. Several vessels are ashore on the count, but most providentially we have nut vet heard of any lives lost. The Vigilant, Captain ilayhow, was, during the whole of it, riding in the buy. and ha a very hard time of it, the crew being quite exhausted and worn out with fatigue and cold, but has returned here in safety with very little damage. A letter from Dover in orms us the Providence, Captain Bloom, was driven by distress into that port, having two of her crew dead with cold and excisive fittii; • ue; their names are Elwin and Jordan, both belonging to this town, and left kt Ives and families.
