On Nionday sennight, the Litecasterian school hi Wakeackl, for the education of poor boys, was owned and 2.34 received into it. Ily the exertions of the Committee, and the dole conduct of the .11as lora ei the' Lancieterian Wienl nr that town, whom the Gentlernen, having the manngentent of that con cern, with ready him/less permitted to go over on the occasion ; an uncommon progress has neen made in the or o mini:ation of the school, and the profici ency of the scholars. On Sunday last, they All at tended the places of public worship pointed out by their respective friends, and were distributed in the following proportions :—To the parish church 53; to the Methodist chapel 0 ; to the dissenting chapel in George-street 70; to that near the bottom of Southgate 9,5 ; and to that in Westgate 18. We un derstand that the room at present used for a school,' bring found inconveniently small, it is intended im mediately to set about the building of a new school room, and when the incalculable utility of the un dertakitg is considered. we indulge a confident hope, that the often experienced generous philanthropy of the inhabitants of NVatiefield will soon supply a suf ficient fund for the accomplishment of so laudable an object. Several new settlements have been farmed In New Mouth Wales—one is at Port Dalrymple, *here the population amounts to 80 persons, exclusive of the company of the 73d. About 300 acres •of wheat %taro sown there in 1811. The pasturage was excel• lent, and the land clear of trees. Wednesd►y se' nnight, two Bow-street officers ap prehended at Sunderland John Lascalles, a seaman, on a charge of murdering a soldiec belonging to an Irish regiment at Banisgate. From the LONDON GAZETTE, Mot 12. WAR. DEPAItTMENT. Downing-street, May 12. A dicpatch, of which the following is an extract, was received on Sunday ()selling at the Earl of Li verpoel's olliCP. nddr , :ssed to his Lordship by Gene ral the Earl of Wellington, dated Alfayates, April '2l, 181'2. Alfayates, April 24. The army continued its march towards this quer- ter sine : 1 last addressed you, and the enem y retired ' before them. The last of the enemy crossed the Agueda Fester -1 day morning, and they are in full retreat towards the 'relines. The rains which had fallen between the 13th and 19th inst. had carried away the bridge which they had constructed on the Agueda, immediate!) , above Ciudad Rodrigo; but they have repaired it within these last three da)s, and the leading divisions of the army crossed by the Puente d'el Pillar and the fords of the Upper Agueda ; the rear only by the bridge Rear Ciudad Rodrigo. When Marshal Marmont marched his troops upon Sabugal, General Bacellar ord 'red that the Portu guese militia, under Brigadier-Generals Treat and Wilson, should be concentrated upon Guarda. Marshal Marmont moved upon this militia with a considerable force of cavalry, infantry, and artillery, on the 1 Ith inst. and Brigadier-General Trent, who commanded, conceiving the enemy to be too strong ' for him, determined to retire across the Moridego. t The militia had made great progress in their re . trent ; but a battalion, which was covering the re. treat, having been ordered to fire upon the enemy's cavalry, and the rain having prevented their pieces from going oil', broke, and threw the retreating troops into disorder; and the enemy took about 150 prisoners. The troops were formed again, however, oo the left of the Moittlego, and retired upon Celurico ; General Bacellar keeping the advanced' posts under Brigadier-General NVilson at Lagiosa. On the fol lowing morning, the 15th, the enemy advanced in considerable force, and drove in Brigadier-General Wilson's out-posts at Lagiosa. The enemy retired from Lagiosa in the course of the night of the 15th, and from Guarda on the 16th, which town was occupied, on the 17th by the troops under the command of Brigadier-General Wilson. Your Lordship will be happy to learn, that the officers of the militia behaved remarkably veil. It appears to me, that Brigadier-General Trent and Blieadier-General Wilson did every thing they ought to have done. The partialsuccess over the Portuguese rrilitia`on their retreat from Guarda, and the murder aid plun der of the inhabitants of a few villeges is Lower Beira, already suffering from the enemy's former de predations, are the only fruits of Marshal Dlarmont's expedition within the Portuguese frontier, to divert our attention from the siege of Badajos. While the troops belonging to the army of Portu gal have been collected for this service, I learn from General Castanos that General Abadie had ordered the Spanish troops in the Asturias to move into Leon, where Brigadier Moreno had had some pa r tial success against a French detachment at Otero de las Duenas. Don Julian Sanchez likewise, who has contiuued with his cavalry in Castile, has bren very successful on the enemy's communications, and . against their convoys. By accounts from the South I learn, that neither the Conde de Penne Villemur nor General Belles ' teros entered Seville, while Marshal Soult was in Estremadura, in the commencement of this month. The Conde de Penne Villemur is now on his re turn into Estremadura, with the troops of the sth army. General Drouet is at Puente Ovej tine, in Cordova, t with the troops under his command; and Marshal tilt at Seville, according to the last accounts of the 2 ist instant, which I have received from Lieutenant ; General Sir Rowland 11111. Downing-street, May .12. A lispatch, of which the following is as extract, has been r-veived this morning at the Earl of Liver pool's &lice, addressed to his Lordship by General the Earl of ‘Vellington, dated Fuente Guinaldo, April :29, ISI2. FtienteCuinaldo, April '29. The enemy have continued their retreat since I ad tlrc:sed 3 our Lordship on the 9. ith instant. No morm - lelit has been made to the South. Gen. Dronet wlis still, by the last accounts, at Fuente de Uv6 Ina, in Cordova. • 1 he Conde de Penne Villemur has returned into Estfcmadura with the troops under his command. • Admiruky-Office, May 12, 1812, Inclosure to the letter from Capt.

On Thursday evening seven foreigners belonging to the Opera House in the Haymarket, and one be longing to the Pantheon Theatre, were brought be fore the hlagistratos at Bow.street, charged with being at large within this kingdom without having obtained a licence according to the Alien Act.

The espectation of seeing Mrs. Clarke in Court had collected a considerable auditory. Mrs. Clarke however did not make her appearance. An uncommon occurrence took place at Dilmar nock on the Bth inst. Notwithstanding the mildneq of the day,.a whirlwind suddenly lifted from the the works about 20 webs, which had been spre-ci out to dry, and, after - having carried them to such a i.ciglit as to render some of them scarcely visible, :ot dint falf upon the holm at the distance of a quarter of a mile from the works. _ A few days ago, while two masons were work in a quairy on • Bartibachle-hill, in the parish of Lochru( tots, they found a live toad, eight feet b 3 .01 the surface, in a solid whinstone rock. A very singular occurrence teak place on the 31 instant, near the Infirmary of Hull. A drummie boy, belogging to the Carlow regiment of militia, on some occasion or other, not yet discovered, took the trouble to thrust I,:s.kead betwixt two of the iron hers of the pallisade, anti wishing to withdraw, it (whether the bars from attraction to his neck had ar proximatcd, or whether his bead had grown larger in consequence of his spprotimition to the buntline, this deponent knoweth not), found himself fixed to the spot ; bat not liking confinement ie the open air, he sent forth so tremendous a yell, as to bring to his aid the whale of. the infirmary corps of operators, and a can iderabla blidy of the populace. Every practicable means of extrication were speedily dig. cussed, one gentleman, supposing his head to be the ! thickest part of his body, thought he might be deli ' vered in the usual way, and hegan to pull with all his might. It is hardly necessary to say the acceuelteur was obliged to relinquish his scheme. It was thee ! suggested by another of the profession, that, Ps a forward movement was impracticable, there was ! nothing for it but one retrogade, which could only be effected by cutting off his ears. Due consid-1,1- ; tion having shown that the little to be gained by this process, would not ensure success, there seemed to the astonished multitude uo alternative betwixt lettiez the lad be gibbetted alive or cutting off his head, and one young workman actually proposed this grand expedient. A blacksmith however coming up, light instantly flashed into every eye, and With a or two of his great maul,• the bar was brtleen the captive set free. The drum-major cemirg vp just as the lad had obtained his liberty, with an oath, es claimed, " and by Jesus, if I find you there I'll give you a good flogging." To which ha ie. coked the fol lowing significant reply—and'` by Jaea if you do, I'll give you lave!" At a time when we are threatened with havi.: Bank-notes made a legal tender. it is highly curiPoi to observe, that a great commercial Republic, placed by protracted warfare in circumstances similar to our own, extricated itself from its difficulties by met sures the very reverse of those suggested by Minis ters. For the truth of thisestatement, we refer readers to M. CANILIeS excellent work, jest pub' fished, "Oh - 44 " .
