Extract of a letter from an Officer belonging to the Lively frigate, dated St. fa Pay, August is, MO; am sorry to inform you, that on the 10th of August, standing in towards the land, about seven odes from Valette, we had the niisfortune to be wrecked. Fortunately none of the officers or crew were lost. It blew a very heavy gale, which obltged us to cut away our mists, in order to gate the people. Our fatigue has been very great, Wag ;Ist away on a b 'rive place. We are going to try to get her off, if the weather permits; but think all our labour will be in vain, as the water is three feet above the lower deck. We are at pre. sent in tents, erected at * castle about half a mile from the ship. Oir our passage one of the convoy sprung a IcAk, and we were obliged to take the crew on hoard our ship ; so that there were two wrecks before we reached Malta." In cooptinence of some reports to the disadvian tage of the York Banks, the principal tradestnee . in that city, with the Lord Mayor at their head, harepiedged themselves to take She notes of either of the York Ittoks to any amount. Mr. Coons, the celehrved actor, ;ailed frogs Liverpool on Thursday last; in the ship Columbia, fur the United States of America. Ile is engaged by Me. Coon:R, the manager of the principal theatres in America s to play at New York, PO. latlelphia, aOti most of the other large towns; so that it will probably require a year and a half, or two years, to complete his series of engage uterus. h.lre already mentioned the accident that Uri Mr. D.wrori, the performer, by being thrown from his chaise on Sunday se'nnight—he has been so unfortunate as to be obliged to have his frac. tined arm set three times ; but it is now hoped that !e is ins fair way of doing well. Box \PARTE, hi addition to all his other well. wiled distinctions in war, politics, and moral;!, has ceriaiiily entitled himself, by his promotion of ma. trnnun.al alliances, to that of the greatest of Match inakc, s: a very dangerous qualification sometimes, in private life. On Friday and Saturday last the Brighton road '' 44 inflated by two footpads, who raised contribu. lions on the travellers in broad day. On Friday ferenuoq they 51091 a chaise in flooley.lane, and robbed a gentleman. And immediately after stopt a gentleman and lady in a chaise, near Gattaii Park. On Saturday forenoon the same two fellows, Brest is straw hats, stopt two gentlemen in a chaise near Hand Cross. One of the gentlemen was an but the other knocked one of the footpads duan. The other instantly fired and struck the vntleman in the head, but he seized the pistol and wrested it from his band, but the ruffians escaped. The country is now raised in pursuit of them. The pickpockets were very active at Doncaster, last Wt'ek, durin g the Bares. One Gentleman lust his p oc k et- b ook, containing bills amounting to 'tout r.tool. and another had his pocket picked at thr Theatre of 1701. in a draft and notes. "Take care of ) our pockets," said a constable to a farmer, " he was e n t er i ng t h e p i t ' at the Theatre, w 6'll the 14tter finding his property safe, sat contentedly dawn ; but ere the first act was over, his book, k ith 20 guineas in. heal notes, to his no small sur- V -ze. had stippid off.

Last night the Tragedy or hamlet was repre tented at this Theatre. Previous to the opening of the floors, a printed apoiogy was affixed in all the avenues of the The. sire, atinouneing the indisposition of Mr. Ken- BLE, and that it was the intention of Mr. C. Kest- VW!: to make an attempt to go through' the arduous task of becoming his brother's substitute, rather than, the Public should be deprived, of the promised bill of fare. Without meaning any thing itiiroical. to the fame Or fortune OW C. liesiaLx, we could not avoid the impression of surprise at not finding Mr.lrootve announced as the Hamlet of the evening, under such circumstances; and espec;ally as his merit, in this character in particular, bath been critically ad mitted. It might be naturally asked, why is this Gentleman put upon the shelf; in such a dilemma, whose excellence is now unquestioned, to make room •fur another Candidate, who is compelled to solicit for indulgence, because his powers are not fully acknowledged? If this arrangement ariseth from the force of a family compact, it may be proper that it should be understood duly, both by the his. trionic professors and the public likewise. We saw the attempt to perform Hamlet by C. KEMBLE, and we must in justice confess that we were agreeably disappeintod; not that we think he, is equal to Mr. Youno aLogether, but that ue in several scales very energetic, and in a few in. stances correct. His delivery of the celebrated soliloquy of g 4, To be, ur not to be," had a feature of novelty in it ;, he was not so dry, sententious, and meastarim his manner as his brother, yet he did not greatly violate the bearing of the text ; but we were ploased to see him so far emboldened as to rely much upon himself in this perilous undertaking. It was rush. ins; into the field of battle with his brother's best armour upon his shoulders, and when he took up the bow of Ulyssesj though he could nut use it an adroitly as the original warrior, yet be did nut dis. honour the arms he had assumed. IRELAND. REPEAL OF THE UNION. • t 1 [From Tin: DUBLIN ErENING POI?' of Thursday fast.] The saving spirit of the late Aggregate Meeting is spreading its influence over the surrounding ' country, and the day cannut be distant when the whole island shall, with one voice, demand a Repeal of the Union. • The exertions of Ministerial power have been directed to keep the counties back—put the pressure of the tines, the "growing misery " of Ireland, and the calm yet firm conduct of the Freemen and Freeholders of Dublin, must ultimately prove irresistible. - Ministers and their servants may, for a moment, overawe the timid, or influence the corrupt; but the gOod sense and patriotism inherent in the nation is awaking from its ten years slumber. Animated with loyalty and a lov,e of independence, the Irish people will surmount every obstacle, and, putting their enemies and calumniators to coati. sion, will, by the ways of law and peace, obtain a restoration of that Constitution which emphatically tlessiered, " THAT NO YiiVER ON EARTH HAD RIGHT TO BIND IRELAND, RUT THE KING, 14 , .RDS, AND COMMONS OF IRELAND.I' It is for this blessing, for this RIGHT, that the'people of this oppressed coon. try now look—and no poker, no threat, no abuse, no calumisy can turn their attention from su vital ao object, ' The COUNTY DUBLIN follows the ex. ample of the City, and there can be little doubt but every county throughout the island will pursue a similar course. On Tuesday, the Sessions for the Count'' , of Dub. lin opened at Kilmainhant, and oil the close of the public business, the GRAN!) JURY resolved on a REQUISI LION to the High Sheriff, JOHN An. TituttE, E.g. to convene a Meeting of the Freelnild. era of the County upon an early day, to consider of a PETITION to his' MAJESTY slid the two Houses of Parliament, for • a REPEAL of the LEGISLA. 'FIVE UNION' between Ireland anti Great Bri. tain.-A Committee of six were appointed to wait en the High Sheriff with this Requisition. The Corporations of this City continue to meet, and pass Resolutions fur the ReecaL—and also to return thanks to our late worthy, incorruptible, and patriotic Sheriff, Sir JAMES RIDDALL.—Th e Corporatiou of Goldsmiths meet tomorrow. MR. LOCKE. .••••,Milu..m. ,Ye have to conimuoicate i with deep regret, the death of Wm. Loots, F a sq. of Norbury P.arki Surrey, the most zealous protector of the Arts, and (out of the profession) perhaps their most en. lightened and perfect judge. Mr. Loco: distinguish. ed himself in early life, by his choice collection of pictures, models, and fine works in sculpture ; and still more by his liberality and taste. lle, of all the lovers of Art, was considered by its Professors as their arbiter, their advocate, and common friend. The compassionate benefactok of the humblest.,-the revered associate or patron of the most celebrated artists of his time—of Sir Jostmt HzynoLus, Mr. BARRY, Mr. HovNta, and Crecti4ti ; of Wcc.serr, BAKISETT, and SANDBY ; of many now living; of Mr. WEST, the President of the Academy ; Mr. Flan', who benefits it by the instruction of its youth ; and other of its Members, who will hear of Mr. Lociies death with unfeigned sorrow, and an admiration inseparably connected with his re cumbrance. He will he generally regretted, hut especially will he be lamented for those many charities 'and virtues, that have given to Norbury (the spot where he resided) a sacredness, a peculiar sentiment of blessing and respect ! He died at the ago of seventy.seven, and is stir. rived by Mrs. LOCKE, and a family whom he lived to see in that happiness and resiieetaiiility of con nection, which their characters and station claimed. His son, Mr. WILLIAM Locke, iucceeds him in estate, the known inheritor of his worth, and liimsetf of distinguished powers. 119 One of the coaches which runs between Etlin. burgh and Glasgow was overturned 1W week s by which a genticmAn was . i . ptErrEpps CONFESSIONS: [CoistinmeL-Frops tJi4 Daft:, ercrtsa IIs.RALD.] THT.

As a Testimony of Gratitude for his Paternal Councils, Which I have so long adhercs to, These Memoirs are Respectfully Inscribed, By the AUTHOR. The EDITOR begs leave to make a few observa tions on the following Memoirs ; in which he hope., to show the utility of giving them to the Public. The life of the in could, of itself, be no way interesting to the world, but, connected with a system, on, which posterity will look nit!' asto. nistiment; and making a part of that government under which We live, it becomes not only a subject of cariosity but of much importance. The Irish historian of future times, in reviewing the annals of his country, will perceive an inepa. cable connection between the Life of a NEWELL, or the annals of a BIRD: and an Administration 1. corrupt, sanguinary, and relentless ; he will trace Irum that polluted and pestilential source, all the subordinate streams which have overspread the laud 'kith terror, desolation, and death. A government conducted and supported by the agency of those heedless and miserable wretches, called spies and informers, is not only contemptible to foreign powers, and detestable to those over whom it would rule ; but by its very nature it un dermines the obligations of religion, and the re. straints of conscience. It seeks only its own safety, whilst it disregards the means by which that safety is secured. It scoria the paths of honour or humanity, and looks only into the bloody code of those hated tyrants, who have oppressed mankindand disgraced human nature. Give them power, and you can neither modify nor recall it; give then, laws by which' to rule, ind they will break them ; give them ad. Tice, and you are despised as a traitor; give them cause of suspicion, and you are banished ; complain, and you are silenced with death. Although these Memoirs do not bear marks of mach erudition, or are characteristic of rt strong or comprehensive mind, yet thex are pregnant with Much instruction. Young men, who have strong uncontrowled pas. si,ins, will do well to' place the Life of N I before them ; thrown upon the tide 4. 4 life without pick him religion or virtuous education, he seems to he cast away, without much chauee of shelter or safety., buffeted by every wind, and car. ried along by every current; he hnows not where to loiik for rest. Unfortunate young man! In whatever Part of the world you may pass the i.e. mainder or your days, they mast be days of bitter. mess and distress— ‘,‘ For a *wounded conscience who cart bear?" The EDITOR means not to say that sincere repent. ance will u ,t be accepted of at a more important tribunal than any in this world ; but he, who, like NEWZI.L,• errs merely to repent, and repents only to err; who embraces °pillions without examine: tion, and rejects them without regret ; whose re. pentance, whilst it quickens his escape gives on se. ctirity against a relapse ) must, like Ncerrn.r,, be an unhappy man. The young man who would adopt the reverse of the'Author's *central of himself a would bid fair. for success. He would therefore be affectionate and obedient to his parents, diligent at his colline, religious, chaste, and temperate ; he would curb unruly pas sions, prefer his honour to his life; and despise the wages of corruption as he would the snares of Hell. To the heads of families it holds out serious ad monition. The - compaitions of domestic initirentetit arc to be chosen with caution and reserve. 'Tis true, some men arc Callous ; they glory only in gluttony, and have all their happiness centered in wine. What a horrid 'account is given to the world.! But nu more—over this the curtain must fall. Legislators ! ye vise, ye vigilant, ye virtuous, ye honourable men ! what say you to Newell's Life ! Is it thus yen provide for the safety of his Majesty's subjects ? Is it thus you support his crown and dignity ? Is it thus you promote the ip terests of 'religion, social order, and good govern. tnent ? o q who encourage brothels—who provide for nocturnal orgies—who suborn to perjury—who purchase yotir informers by sacrificing to t h eir pas. sinus the innocence and virtueof your dependants— and who bay and sell, with 4Chanieless effrontery, all that is solemn, sacred, and praise.eolit'y in the ey4 of virtuous men. - Are yeti philoseipliers ? Look for an answer to the prorsions yam have made, for ac. companyitog the ',oldie mind in its present state of rapid improvement ? Arc you politicians ?

To the unsteady 'anti tinprincipled, whether young or old, these Memoirs speak in the tone 'of thunder. They say, Ah, frail man! stiffer nothing to lead yon'aitray Cram the paths of Virtee, of trntli, and of patriotism ; fly the ie,•illictiotts held out by 3 tottering aria vow state!

CALCOTTA, Aran: 14.-s-01 Sonilatevening last, presently after the cessation of a smart mirth- wis-ter, two secesssive shocks of an eartiorielte were eis. tinctly felt, in many parts of Calcutta ant i's rtej. pity. The time of the occurrence, as trailed by dif. ferent persons, was between 20 and 25 minutes past seven, and the duration of each succession was va riously estimated at from six to 30 sec , vibrations appeareJ, at first, to in a line Flom northeast to south-irest ; and then 1., return or an opposite direction. Thi were aluiost our. versally perceptible to those who were sittiog At the time in the upper aparteriews e,f tm•iir houses ; , but were, in a few iiistanees, obcer so;ti on the ground floors. At one house; iti den Reach, where a party of eleven were sit. titig at dinner, the shocks were very sti one,l ) felt by three of the number sjated'at dime rrirner of tee teble, and also by the three others at the opposite corner, while they pas se d uno bserved by th e e rest of the company. Besides the p, euliar sensation experienced in their own persue. , , by those who witnessed the phenomenon, in many houses a very distinct motion was communicated to the oil in the wall.shades, the gerandoles and lamps were seen to swing, and even the mirrors (such as, were fastened, at the upper extremity, with a cord) were observed to vibrate towards the wall. In a room on the cen. tral floor of one of the turrets of the Lower Orphan School, at Howrih (which is a very old and infirm building), the force of the undulations was so cog. siderable, that a couch, on which a person happened to be reclining, was moved on its castors, at the first shock, to the distance of nearly a foot from its original position close to the wall, and was again thrown back to its place by the returning•succes. sion. To some persons the vibration appeared to be accompanied by a noise, which they describe as resembling the sound of muffled bells. Reports from various stations in the lower parts of Bengal, as far up as Moorshedabad; mention the occurrence of a similar phenomenon, nearly about the saints hour. By a letter from Ramnagitr, the vibration is stated to have been felt there at half. past seven, and to have continued for au Unusually long time. At Guttaul, the shock was distinctlx , repeated thrice. On the night of Saturday, the 28th of May, de. parted this life, his highness MOBIREK-U-DOW L A If, Nawab of Renal.

The proceedings of the Court-Martial at Ban. galore closed with the trial of 'Major KENNs, whom the Court sentenced to be cashiered. Captain Goanorr, of the Caroline frigate, has been brought to trial before a.Naval Court.M..rtial, on charget connected with the internal di s cipli ne o f his ship. The Court has sentenced him to be re. p r im i ind e d, and enjoined to be more circumspect in his future 'conduct: Captain WILSON has succeeded in expelling Qapaut &so from his principal strong hold in the inonntains ) a place named Itiughur.

This was the most atrocious case that eYer came before a Court. George Hai, late servant to L Ird Seaforth, at. cased of breaking open lock.fast pieties iii Bralian Castle, and .stealing therefrom, was found guilty ott his own confession, and sentenced to seven year transportatiou.

In the Report of the Select Committee of the house, the Marquis IVELLESLET is pried " The Most lionourUble Marquis .WE.t.r.k.ster."
