(Cheem) °fume men it had been aid that it was safer to be their enemies than their friends. Meilkhent in his I Sir Frinciesi eyes, stood exactly in that light; and S Mold sal* in answer to the approbation Mr. Hunt had thought Volpe . hp haw, upon him, that he repelled and rejected it with 0011111.. ibid suntan at/ (Caren) Prouder far of the censure than Ilheinialt of that in&sittual o whenever or to whatsoever he might ap- Op ob (Loud chanisig.)' With respect to the observations of Oblat puma epos the subject of the sources to which the people were .• kink for relief, he (fir Frarcis) In a great measure concurred nib all that bad fallen from him, but Mr. Hunt had asked why Chino who brought fantod this petition had not pointed them out to thonotico of Par:ion:est Look, Mr. Hunt ha.' said, at the pen non and the sinecures; look at the numberless offices which swal low up the public money, and which if abolished would bring into the *offers of the Treasury more than sufficient to relieve the pub ic from this odious and oppressive taxation. He (Sir Francis) did look at them; he desired their abolition as mach and a sincerely as 'Mr. Hunt; and he would declare most solemnly thee if the Lather of his lion. Friend and Colleague, if Sir Benito olio Hoblsouse was pro so he the holder of a sinecure—onto:ugh he did not mean to aunut the fact, on the contrary he believed it was notao—but if was it proved to be as was asserted, he would no inns spare him than any other Individual ; for he thought, as he be haved he bad always both here and else Where maintained, that the ma who received the pubic money in a public office, where he performed no duty, was nothing short of a public plunderer. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Hunt too had proposed other sources from which the did fee which they prayed might be aftlirdcd, and had mentioned the Sinking Fund to appropriate to the purpose; but while he (Otr Francis) agr.:.ed as to the propriety of many of these suggestions, be rout contend that it ass not the bushiest of a public meeting bite the preach to point on: to Government the means they were to adopt. That duty beltomcd to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He itwaswho should find out lace ohjectionable metllnds of providing for the public expenditure. The public have a right to demand re bel from taxes which thsy think oppressive ; it was for the Chan reeltor to see how it was to be granted : ang he (Sir Francis) would repeat, it was not the ditty of the public to point out the meth° o la e. wad the lion. Baronet, state our grievances; it is for them to i Ilioh•out die redress. (Loud and continued cheering). Mr. Hunt huallided to Ireland. There, in his (Sir Francis') opinion, he had pawl out by far the most fertile source of relief; and if 1 .ed toxin the state of Ireland at el, m l, they should p 2 111ci 111at l i justiu and free .tonn—the benefit of the air of hea ven—die privilege of ernecience—liberty, civil and religious, should be granted to its oppressed inhabitants, and by those .fans they would obtain a saving of nearly four millions of nosey to England, which was now applied in supporting an army • * 'misgovern aad tyrannise over Ireland, and to subdue the religious Hooey of its people (Cheers). Mr. Hunt condemned the application eta sea of money to pay the Catholic Priesthood. In this present wedancholy and moprested state of that country, he (Sir Francis) llPProinoded they mutt either pay priests or soldiers—they must *that coodnue to give thee or four millions annually to support a military despotism, 9r they novo have recourse to other means. clisentastissi is, snifter they will pay 230,001. to a _Catholic priest hoedwho can control their minds, or three or four millitins to a military establisoment,who may tyrannise over their spiritstchenca and If that question was put to him he should have tm hesitation in saying which be would prt.fer. Mr. Hunt has added, however, soother question with respect to this proposition—that this money wit to procare the us'ent of the Catholic priesthood to the diti f,allthisemell! of the 40E freeholders. The proposition would bear notch interpretation. Would they disfrahchise Old Sarum, or say other room, borough ? Would he (Sir Foincis) be liable to a charge of wishing to thofranchise his countrymen of their birth right, If Ito proposed to take away from corrupt voters the means which made them corru if lie proposed to deprive them of some pore which nee...verily led pt, to corrupt on ? No ; they would unite nth him in his desire to disfranchise all thmuoliout the country, to Ws Isiah to put the representation of the coontry on a sourd and stable footing. The des. freeholders of Ireland bore no resemblance to the same class in England—there was nothing like them in Eng land—noth'ng to wbicb they could be compared, but the corrupt voters he had pointed out ; and when they considered the variety of opinior.s, of prejudices. of religious and party differences—when they looked at the conflicting private and political interests which sosy alteratioo in such a system was eilculated to create, he was acre that althimoS they were told it would restore the peace. add to the representative i n t cresr,s art i cn prove the moral condition of the peo ple, trill they Gould rot e.xpeet it to be a measure in which aU men would concur. (Cheers.) That meeting was not, however,* place in Arch such questions could be discussed. They had acted ; they bed pat an end to their petition • and by adopttng a Resolution not ihe contemplation of those who ; had framed it, lost the opportu- I d recording their sentiments 'mho* a most oppressive and. imposition. And why had they lost that opportunity? they believe that these men who had been sent from Ireland I tteadvocate the cause of their suffering countrymen, were traitors, 1 ode the mere word of Mr. Hurt ? that those who had spent lives of undeviating rectitude and devotion to their country would forfeit then vrell-emried ri.pntatieme now? No; they could not believe it, they. hod been tincsioed ; short honest and ingenuous minds had been imposed upon; and he was sure when they comet* consider, they would feel worry for the imam's ticm.

(Loud Chcorino ) wMr. ilownousr, in returring thanks for the distioguishe I fanner expressed in the Resolution, declared hirrself es proud cf their praise as of Mr. Hunt's censure. They had met, as lie said, is days of hostility, and nothing had occurred to create forgetful ono: He could not rretend.• like his Hon.

(Cheers.) Mr. Hunt had said, he was a young luau ; but ha was not too youpx to distinguish hottesty from treachery—impndencc iMok courage—the true laver of his country from the false friend sad would seek by trickery and deceit to gain a moment's popu larity. t(:neers.)• Mr. Hunt bad talked of his father Sir B.

Were there no. many families is which a diiihrence of political sentiment pre miled—on.: obrged to Na i moli one set of opinions, and another one apposite? and even it he had a conscientious disagreement with it father. he thought it was rather a case which deserved more the sepportand applause than the condemnation of the public. But ebe who', of Mr. Hunt's s.atensent, with regard to his father, was false—tidos as. hiiroself-ofalso as his own conduct. (Cheers.) 'II iii father had sever received one farthing fur which he had not lehourol. TOsy had been told he received die prolits of a sinecure, dragget! fiutwilic pockeboof the people; that was as false as every other pert ol tie sormaent. He had. peeve taken one farthing of ere people's areety : his Other was one of the Commissioners for the settlement of the &Taira of the Nabob of Arcot—paid by a certain portion of SEditors whose debts he was labouring to liquidate on the one and by the East India Company. who were likewise Joie its the settlementapoa the other. He was, therefore, paid as • Otountissioper by dime creditors ; whose cOaiins lie was called upon to adjodose ' and Labouring as much as any common clerk in the duties of hit' nee. The whole assertion was, therefore, if be eirtiete audited; false—doubly false:—false in saying that the moapy ta me from their pockets—and false is rosintainlng that it wit Wren without adequate duty.

We cannot say that the assemblage was either numerous or re apectahle, a great pertion seeming to be mechanics, drawn to the place fruni mete cntiosity. BERKSHIRE ELECTION. Yesterday the nomination of a Member to serve in Parliament for this extensive county, in consequence of one of the Representatives (the Hon. Richard Neville) being raised to the Peerage. by the death of Lord Braybrooke, took place at the Town-Hall, in Reading. An application, signed by upwards of 600 freeholders, was sent to Robert Palmer, Esq. requesting him to become a Candidate, with which request that Gentleman exprxsed his willingness to comply. Mr. William Hallett, who has on several previous occasions stood foe the County. an soon as the present vacancy occurred, again an nounced himself as a Candidate. As usual on these occasions, a number of electioneering addresses were circulated. Es* in the day the town presented to scene of unusual bustle and tray, as a large body of the freeholders of the county at the residence of Robert Palmer. Esq. at Hointe Park, a diauince of three miles tram Reeding, with the intention tt atoning him to the Town Hall in procession, which assembled wet half a mile front the park, and was composed of the principal peozien and landholders, who wore wreaths of laurel. Mr. Palmer met teem at eleven o'clock, and was received with every demoustration of feeling for his success. Ile MU then escorted by about 1,200 horsemen into Reading, and entered the Hall precisely at twelve o'clock.- The Bench and table had been previously occu pied, and the immense area of the building was thronged in lees dun ten minutia'. ' Ebenezer Fuller Maitland- Esq. the High Sheriff, aczompanied by JJ. Symopds, Esq. the Mayor of Reading, and a number of the ipmery•or the county, entered the Hall at the 311151Qmonient. The Sheriff was then called to the (nde, and a desire was expressed for adjourning to the Forbury (a large open smite in the centre of the town). 'lie Meeting hewever did not adjourn, and Mr. Illou fel', of Wasing Hall, came forward, and after eulogis ing the character of Mr. Palmer, proposed that gentleman as their Representative. Mr. G. H. ELLIOTT, of Binfield Park, seconded the nomina tion, and observed, that from his own knowledge and experience he was convinced the county could not be represented by a member in whom such qualities were combined as elle Palmer possessed ; he was known to them all for possessing integrity, uprightness, liberality, and the highest sense of honour. He was not only rem. , defeat remarkaele by his good qualities, but he was distinguished for his public independence.—(Chars.) The II ton Sit Eat re here asked if any freeholder had any ether gentleman to put in nomination. A pause of some minutes duration took place, during, which the Meeting seemed to look with some anxiety for the apeeerance of Ile. Hallett or his friends. A letter was handed to the High Sheriff from Mr. H., and after some consideration the High Sheriff said that Mr. Hallett lameeted in his letter that ill health prevented .his being with them that day. The how SnE irF eventually put the only question before him, whether Robert Palmer, Esq. was a fit and pepper person to be _put in coinination for the repreeeetation of the County of Berke? The show or hands in Mr. Primer's favour was very great.— On the quesfon of the contrary being put, a reggae d boy held up his Mod and stick. Mr. PALxlt returned thanks for the honour done him, and observed, that if he was elected their Representative, he would strenuously endeavour to promote the welfare of the county.• The Honourable Gentleman cominued:—" I come forward a perfectly Independent man; by that urm, I mean, I am not politically at tached to any party. But when i consider that the burthens of the people are reduced, and that those who hold the reigns of Govern ment are pursuing a course of general relief from taxation, and doing all that reasonably can be expected for the people, then, I say, they are entitled, not only to my support, but to that of he comer/ at large. (Applause.) I will not pledge myself to any ear ticular line of conduct. My vote shall always depend oo the merits of the question; and I will neither negicetylour ilatemtsnor compro mise any own independence." (Applause.) Wednesday The Election will commence at Abingdon on Wednesday next. THE BRITISH PR. • HOME CIRCUIT. SUSSEX ASSIZES, Hovers=, WZMITZSDILY, MARcm 23. John FiMilts and Thomas Fibbins, brothers, were indicted for robbing James Lidbitter, on the King's high-way, at Bamburgh, on the 21ith of February. It appeared in evidence that the prisoners had been in the service of Mr. Penfuld, a farmer, near Ramburgh. In Me evening of the 2.ith of February, Lidbitter, bailiff to Mr. Penfold, had been sent by his master to Steyning, to get lot worth of silver money to pay his workmen. On his return between seven and eight, lie was met by the prisoners, one of whom immediately knocked hint down with a bludgeon, whilst the ocher rifled his packets of the silycr money, and then both ran off. The moon shining brightly, enabled the prosecutor to distinguish the legumes of the prisoner:, both u. whom he had known intimately as labonrert on his master's farm. Next day the prisoners were apprehended at a public-house in Brighton, and upon them was found a quantity uf silver money, corresp,ir.dirg is amount. within ens or two shillings, with the VIM stolen from the prosecutor. The prisoners charged the witnesses for the prosecution a Palle swearing. and soul that the found upon them was the e morel to fruit of then harrzst earnings. No witnesses were called for the defence. The Jury found the rriconers Guilty, 'and sentence of Dent ' was recorded. OXFORD CIRCUIT. HEREFORDSHIRE ASSIZES, HEREFORD, Maßcu 22. These Moises cosomenced this day . , before Mr. Justice LIT TLEDALI: in the Crown Court, and 31r. Baron 6•IIROW at Nisi Pe;nr. The Calendar contained the names of 16 pridonere, but no case of peculiar enormity. Twenty four civil cases were entered for trial, of which kin were Special Jury can.es. CROWN RIDE. untie :Vash was charged will' wallas certain articles of wear , leg apparel. the preperty of Anne Jackson. The chief evidence against the prisoner was, that a part of the stolen property was found in his house. After the Learned JurcE had summed up the evidence, only 11 ache Jurors consulted together, the twelfth, who wore a white night cap, standing aloof from hta fellows, when the Foreman of the Jury said—" 111 y Lord. Cie gentleman won't consult with us, and we can make nothing of him. The Learned JunoE said to the twelfth Juror—You must coo suit with the other Jurymen, and say with them whether the pri soner is gushy or not. The Juror-31y Lord, I am sure I don't know whether he is guilty or net ; I know nothing at all about the business. The Learned June[—Do you agree with the other Jurors in what they thirk of the ease? The Juror-1 don't know, my Lord, whether I agree with thcnt or not. The Learned JUDGE—It is your duty to consult with them, and agree with them in saying whether the prisoner is guilty or not. The Juror-31y Lord, 1 really know nothing at all about the business. However. after some further persuasion, the Juror talked a little wide the ethers, and they acquitted the prisoner. As noon as the verdict was recorded, Lis Lordship told the saga. clone gentleman in the white night cap, that the Court had no fur .ther occasion for his services as a Juror, and that he might go home. He departed apparently much gratified at the termon.tion of his judicial career. CIVIL SlDE.—Wronrssnar, MARCH 23. - LLOYD C. WILLIAMS 1E54. Mr. RICHARDS ripened the pleadings, and stated that this was an action for word; spoken in the Welch language. Mr. TAUNTON stated that the present action was one of great importance to the plaintiff, an it was to decide whether he was to move in the line of society in which he was used to move, or whe ther he should be a degraded man. In the place he tilled exist ence without character was of no value. P lace plaintiff was by business a lend-surveym and was also an Officer of the Court of Great Sessions. being Deputy Barthel of that Court; one of his brothers was a Clergyman of the Established Church, and an other had had the honour of serving his Majesty in his naval service. The defendant, Morris. Williams, Esq. was a gentle man of very large fortune, and had Revved the office of Sheriff of the county, and was now a Magistrate of the county of Pembroke. lie was a man of very jovial habits, and like many others liked to be the first man In the company he kept. On one evening at the beginning of tit:: year, he was enjoying himself at the Angel-Inn, Cardigan, and according to his own account he retired to bed in much better spirits than he got up with in the merning, when he stated teat he missed the sum of seven rounds out of a sum of thitty pawed*, which he supposed he-hatl had in his pocket the r ight helot e ; he thought proper to charge the plaintiff as the thief who hid stolen the money ; the words we not vague nor uttered in a passion, but were words attemping to laying home the charge of a parietalsr and specific robbery. lle should chew, that on toe Itith of March the detcnriant was at this time at Car digan, and there, many persons being assembled, the subject of the supposed robbery was introduced, and the defendant said he had thirty pounds in his pocket, and bed 'oast seven pounds. On this the plaintlfrasked if be meant to charge hint wish it, as the plats tiff hail heard that the defendant hd so charged him. The de fendant on this said. •• It was you that stole my money." Owen Owen was then called, and being unable to speak any lan guage except the Welsh, he was examined through an interpreter. lie said, lam the master of a trading vessel. lam a member of a benefit society, which met at the Angel, at Cardigan. I saw Mr. Withants, the defendant, there, and also the plaintiff: There were a great many other persons present. 'fie defendant said to the plaintiff, ' Liawl chwi yw'r ay'ri ddwgodd 't avian i,' which means, • Peril, you are the man that stole my money.' Mr. CAMPBELL rose, and said that his client, filr.liVilliains,wan a highly re stable gentlarean, and, from some information he had received, he was induced to suspect the plaintiff of hay ing stolen his money ; but he was now convinced that the plaintiff was a most respectable man, and that the suspicion was quite groundless and without foundation. Ile had spoken to Ithe Learned Friend (Mr. Taunton), who, r.s his client wished only for the repo-alio, of his character, woeld be satisfied with a verdict for the plaintiff for 40s. Mr. Baron Owaitow observed, that the termination of the case did credit to both pieties. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 40s. NORFOI K CIRCUIT. TUEITFIAscif, 23. Before Mr. Justice Graz t.r c. Richard Gower stood indicted foe having feloniously assaulted Mary Ann Vincent, and against her wish carnally knowing her. Th. prisoner .appeared at the bar decently dressed. He is only 16 years of age. Mary Ann Vincent, the proseentrix, gave the following account of the transaction :—I ant turned 17 years of age. I live with Mr. Etheredge, of Denton. I know the prisoner at the liar. I went to Mr. Clarke's at IVorkwell, on the 10th of Match ; that is about a mile and a lislf from my master's house. 1 returned from Mr. Clarke's aho,;•t a quarter past six. I saw the prisoner that evening between Mr. Clarke's and Workwell Bell ; he was riding an a dicky till, he reaci:ed his father's house, about half a mile; he asked me how I did t I told hint very well thank you, and asked him how he was. When he reached his father's house he wished me good night. As soon as I raised Untwdl Bout, he overtook me again, and said he was going ID y way. He said he thought that I was afraid, and then I stud no, few I expected James to come and meet me. We walked together to the nule stone, and then he said lie must 'rave a kiss Wore we parted ; I replied that I never suffered any one to kiss me. Hz then said, 111 be d—cl it I don't have something else, that's what I einie for. He then threw me on the bank, and I raid 1 expected James to come, and I telahlttl he would come. Here several neecsiary questions were put to the witness, who became so much embarrassed as to be unable to answcr then,. The Learned Juno E. turning to the Jury, rai•!—Wr;l, Gentle men of the Jury, in this case we cannot proceed without evidence. It is quits obvious that this young woman is deeply, and, I think, unalfecsediy embarrassed I and parlisps iris little to be wandered at under the very unpleasant circumstances in which she is placed. I hope f am ant mistaken in attributing her present silence to that reluctance so ratural to a female mind I laced in S , .ch a condition. I trust there has been no tampering with the public justice of the country. however that may be, it is for you, in these eireutn s:ances. to say that the priiuner in not guilty. - The Jury accordingly or grarirri the prisoner. The Learned JUDGE then, in the must gamest and Impressive manner, addressed the prisoner as follows: Richard Gower, you have had a fortunate escape. The crime Imputed to you ill one of the most heinous nature. Had it been proved, you must Lave atoned for it with your life. As it is, I trust the peril in which you have stood this shay will operate as a salutary warning to you for ever. You are yet very young. I perceive by the calendar that you are only l 6 years of age. It last all times awful for a man to come into that si!uation which places him on the issue of life or death at the bar of his country ; but it is peculiarly so at the early age which you have attained, and in which criminality cannot have•even the excuse of a vicious ex perience. We hare had no means of asechaliting your guilt or innocence, on account of the conduct of the prosecutrix, whose motives Ido not pretend to know. But you have received a formal verdict of acquittal 1(0111 the Jury, throttO a want of evidence. When you go from that dock, take with you the recollection of the situation in. which you have stood. lie cautious of your future conduct, lent you mar not be again as fortunate as you hove boon to.day. Futflact upon the circumstances which brought you here ; let them sink deep in your mind, that you may so guard your habits and conduct in future, es to be free from tile reproach of wickedness, and the pthalties of crime. This address was Ilford with the mo solemn atieution through out the Court, and the prisoner left the bar apparently impressed with &deep sense of Ms Lordship's ohserratioos. MALICIOUS SHOOTING. Two men, Gill awl Itrytere4, were capitally i❑dieted for shoot ing, with intent to murder or disable, Mayes, the gainekever of the Doke of Norfolk. The prisoner Gill was convicted, but the other prisoner was found Nol'Goilliy. Srntener of death was recorded against Gill. The. Duke of Norfolk having recommended him to the merciful consideration of the Court, hit Lordship informed him his life would be spared, but that he Mist pease very considerable partmn of it out of this country, %zemmeeennEeirms SOCILTY. • The Anniver.ary Dinner of this Institution was yesterday het.: at the London Tavan, where was nwieinblei 3 most numerous and respectable collection of the friend+ of the Inatitutinn.

" The Duke of York and the Army," with three times thrill Olee—'• How merrily live we that soldiers be." The Loot, klmcoit then proposed—" The health of the Duke of Clarence and the Navy." He regretted extremely the unaroich able alatince of the Royal Duke. Anthem—" Rule Bei annia." The CHAIR m then said, that the toast he was about to pm pose would, he wa. surd, meet with the cordial approbation of all the friends of the Institution, as it VIM hie prosperity of the Institution itself. Ho regretted their Noble President (the Earl of Romney) WAS not able to he present at such a numerous assembly of the friends of the Society. He was sorry lie had not sooner become a supporter of the Institution, as he believed it to surpnss all others in primary utility. Since the first establislinier.t of the Society in 1701 down to the present time, a period of t years. the number of bop' fitted ont and provided for amounted ta 3.5,040. They were boxy principally drawls from situations, which, if they had been stiff - deed to remain in. they would, in all probability, have become thieres and vagabonds. 'fhey were generally boys of robust con stitution, and well able to do their country service. It not only was a charity, but was the means of rearing a hardy race of ma riners for his Majesty's navy. His Lordship concluded by fer. verily hoping that ths funds and prosperity would continue to increase. Between al v.y and seventy of the boys at present under the env of the Society were here introdueed and walked round the room. A liner or MOTM hardy set of lads we never saw. Mr. Tizonwr on, Vice-President, proposed the health of their Right Honourable Chairman, the Lord Mayor. His LORDSHIP returned thanks iu a short speech, which did not reach us on account of the noise. The health of their Noble President, the Rad of Rimney, was then proposed and drank. Ate—" Thowitoi that blows." That of Samuel Thaaton, Lsq. was alto proposed, and he re. turned Burls.

IMPROVEMENT IN TIIR LIVERPOOL POST OFFIC'P.. It will be seen by the fullownig letters, that Mr. Haskisson has eau& t: some very valuable improvements to be made in the Post-office regulations of Liverpool : Somerset-place, 111th March, 11323. 51Y DUAR Sla.--I think it right to mention to you, that some time ago I received representations on the subject of the inconve nience felt at Liverpool. as wet! from die delay frequently expe rienced in the delivery of letters, owing to the establishment of the Post-wince Leiog inadequate to this service, especially In Pans of the town remote from the office, as nn account of the extra charge of one penny for such delivery. Although these representations did not reacit the from any of the mercantile associations, or even from individuals with whom I was personally acquainted. I never theless telt it to be my duty, as one of the Members of Liverpool, to communicate with the Post.'Master-General on the subject so intimately affecting tbecomfosts of a great part of its inhabitants. To this commumeasion I had the pleasure of receiving the in. closed answer from Mr. Frecling, the Secretary to the Post-offic e, which I lose nb time in transmitting to you, as containing infor mation of It general interest, and I hope of general satisfaction to die large community over which you preside. I base the honour to be, my dear Sir, Four faithful humble servant, W. lIUSKISSON. To tke Mayor of Liverpool. General Post-dlice, March 13, 1325. Mr DEAR Sts,—ln returning you the enclosed from Mr. Car. patter, of Liverpool, I send you the part of the report made to us by the Surveyor of the district, and you will see that 11r. Carpenter had little cause for individual complaint. I ant glad, however, that ycu called our attention to the subject of a more convenient and early delivery of the letters at Liverpool. The Post-Master-General, after full; consideration, has decided, first, to extend the general delivery of the letters to the extreme boundary of the township of Liverpool; all letters within that boundary will be distributed without any part being subject to the charge of penny postage, and by means of additional letter carriers and a new disttibution of the walks, the delivery of them will be accelerated, and there will be two deliveries in the day instead of one. I ant truly gratified that your interference io this matter has led to an arrargenttnt so beneficial to the inhabitants of Liverpool ; and I am sanguine enough to hope that the increase of accommo dation will, if not immediately, hereafter produce sufficient to re pay the expense; be that as it may, we are justified in having in curred it. I have the honour to be. my dear Sir, Your faithful oblisrd servant, F. FREELING. _ _ The Right Hon.W. Hualtiston. TIIE ARMY. slajoe.General Sir George Murray, G.C.B. ad G.C.8., Lieu tenant.

PIRATICAL ATTACK. We are indebted to Captain Rolston, of the liellespont, which arrived at Liverpool cu Tuesday, after a remarkably quick passage, from Smyrna, for the following account of a desperate rencounter between the boats of - his Majesty', frigates Cambrian and Seringapatam and a piratical vessel, in the Gulf of V.la :— I transmit a statement of the sitack made by some Greek pirates on the bests of Ids Majesty's frigates etenhrian and Seringapatani, on the 30th of January, In the Gulf of Vol., according to a descrip tion give:a by an Officer of the Cambrian. " llxcin a struck on a rock off the island of Sludtrope (in Negro. pont), we anchored in the Gulf of Vola. The next day we saw • Greek brig boarded by two Scamparuras, at a distance of two or three auks. A boat was ordered away to sneak to the brig, anti sas informed by her crew that these bdats had been pirates, who, as soon as thry perceived our ships at anchor,. made elf. The boat then returned, and orders were given to both ships to man the boa ts , eight in number, and go in search of them. After having rowed 16 or 16 miles op a gulf, the Seringapatam's cutter descried one (the largest of thew), and gave chase: came up, and were in the ea of laying in their oars, when the piraus fired into the boat, and killed two men en the spot, and wramded one officer and rewritten. She sben dropped a•stern, waiting, until the other boats came up, They then boarded her, and having put all to the sword except one man, she was taken, so desperate were they beton they would surrender. The Cambrian's bort then attacked the other host, anal eateihd her, with the loss of two mew killed and six am. ,:ed, one among the latter of which is an MS:cr. Out of se% ten, which was the force of the pirate*, only seven were in,nie peasoner.:, they ra•her preferring to die than to aut. render. Six of them were waned - eel, and the other, who had jumped overboard during the scuffle, was taken out of the water, having been sw imming for ten minutes; and so desperate were these fellows that this °::e even trapped I:is listals at the marines, al though surrounded by an armed force. it appears that this gang had followed this trade for some time, and made the haunt of a *man island neAr Negropont." The Ca m brian intended sailing on the 16th of February for Malta, to heave down. and takes the prisoners with her. One of the wounded seamen died at Smyrna, and two mote wete in a pre carious state. M E LA NCHOLvsmprrnrcKs.. Extract d a letter from Tyrella, in the county Down, dated March 18th Early this mottling a large three-masted vessel, apparently about .51)0 tons burihen, was observed besting into the bey of Hendren'; on striking a rock or the grcund she imme diately fell over. end soon bran to go to pieces. The Rev. Geo. Hamilton, of Balbriggan. situ h:ppeneil to be at Tyvtlls, his snit in the county Down, ut which county he is a Magistrate, on going to the sh re, ()and a rewatil to any persons who would venture in a boat, in order, if possible, to save the lives of the crew. An attempt was accordi.igly moose, but from the height of the surf and the saes from the vessel, which were drifting about in every direction, all approach to the wreck was found to be impracticable. Pre •iously to her going to pieces fifteesmen were counted on her deck by the people on shore; and et the min tI:C of writing this there ere two seen clinging to a rock neer the place sate st reel:, but until the storm abates, or the tide falls, it is quite impossible to afford them any assistance. The Rev. George Hamilton, together with :tlnjor Rainey, of Mountpanther, Mr. Hamilton, land-weitcr of KC lough, and Mr. Ruud', of the same place, asttisted by the Pre ventive water-guard stationed at Tyr Ho and Killough, older Cap. tale Morris and Mr. Aldred, are endeavouring to save as much of the wreck as possible, and to rends sly assistance in their power. One body has alreedy come on shore. It appears front some parent found th .t the vessel was built at 31sryport, and hail left Liver pool since the ilth of this month ; hut of what the ca-go consisted, or whithit she was bound, has not yet been ascertained. " At the sante time another vessel was driven ashore close to the rocks of Craigalea. The crew, consisting of eight men, were hap pily saved—being enabl.ll by the shelter afforded by the rocks to reach the land. They are stow safely lodged at Tyrella House. fhe vessel is called tit: Catherine, of Preston, bound from Work ington to Dundalk, and laden wish coals, hue 'feeling muter. If the gale subsides, it is hoped the vessel oily be preserved. " A boat has this moment succeeded is re-cuing the two persons, a man and a boy, who were area on the rock. The vessel turns out to be the John Little, of Liverpool, Savage master, bound for Halifax. with a ceego of salt. There were fifteen persons on board, of whoni the above two arc the only survivors. She was run foul of by a vessel on the ]Gab instant, off Milford, Li which acchient her bowsprit was carried away, and was rnurning to refit, when she wss overtaken by the storm.

The herring boats in the Frith were very unsuccessful last week, scarcely any of them getting mote than a few hun dreds, anti some of them returning empty. This result, so different from what the abundance of the previous week seemed to promise, Las induced several of the fishermen to withdraw their nets, and take to the white fishing. About a dozen of the boats Lave already drawn off the herring nets, imagining that the fishing is over for the season.— Caledonian Alereary.
