STATE OF EGYPT. Extract of a letter from Alexandria, dated Sept. I: The alarm occasioned by the appearance of the Greek fire-ships to our port has not yet gone off, and the grand director of :Mehemet Airs cam p a ign plans, the Consul 1). has since then suffered in credit. His friends, Generals B. and L. are in consternation, as every thing proves that the Pachalik. of which they considered themselves ascolonists, rests on a tottering base. You must know that it's only within the turning of a straw that our famous Vice roy has saved his life, and the sceptre of the Paroaha threatened by the appearance of the Capitan Pacha in our roads. The (heels, whom the Viceroy went in pursuit of, seem to have been in concert with the Sultan's Admiral to let themselves be pursued, whilst Topel Pschs, 6-41rvant Viceroy of Egypt, at present Capitan paella, 'tumid seize a poet which ;Mehemet Alt traitorously ravished from him in 11,93. The attempt has however failed, the Greeks hav i ng only succeeded in burning a single ship. Mehemet Ali h a , ret urned, disturbed in mind, enraged and humbled. The tint news from the Peloponnesus were favourable for us; hot six weeks are elapsed since lbrahitn Pacha took Navarino, and the events passing in Greece are no longer mentioned. It is how. ever known that our Pacha's son is rather badly situated with re. s,a•ct to Tripolitaa, and that he has not been able to enter Napoli, w hose gates be had hoped to open with golden keys. A new in. surrection is talked of in Candia. These reports have so affected the Egyptian soldiery, that a regiment funned at Cairo have almost all deserted on the road from that capital to Alexandria, where it eras marching in order to be embarked for Greece. Add to this the tpbl•c misery, the scarcity of the crop this year, the small demand tor cotton, the low value of the piastre, it being intrinsically less than three pence, the discontent of all classes, and the harsh des potic government introduced by the philanthropic Mehemet Ali; think of these and you will have a tolerable idea of the state of Egypt. —Carr icr Francais. THE HUNGARIAN DIET. PEESIIVIO, SEPT. 30. It was in the sitting of the Diet, on the 26th inst. that the Chamber of Deputies resolved unanimously to give letters of naturalisation, free of expense, to Prince Nfetternkh, from a thorough conviction of the numerous and eminent services which he has rendered, not only to the Austrian Monarchy, and particularly to the kingdom of Hungary, but to all Europe. The same honour was conferred on the Bavarian Ambassador, Baron Stainlein, out of regard for the E:npress, as well as for the high character of the Baron himself, who is connected by marr:age with some of the first families in the country. These two resolutions were unanimously adopted by the Chamber of the Magnates. In the same sitting, it was resolved, according to a very ancient custom, to fix at 30,000 ducats the coronation present to her Maje►ty the Empress, which the body of the nobility of the kingdom has taken on itself to pay. On the Vtl► thrre was a grand review at Kitsee of part of the troops that have been here during the coronation. His Majesty the Emperor was present, acenmranied by the Crown Prince, the Archdukes Francis, Charles, and Maximilian, and the Duke of Beja (Prince Michael of Portugal). The troops were commanded by the Arch duke Ferdinand, General-in-Chief in Hungary. The Archduke' Charles and Lewis left us on the 2Silt, to re turn to Vienna. GROWTH OF WOO!. IN RUSSI.I. The Frankfort Papers contain the following informa tion relative to the endeavours now making in Russia to im prove the breed of sheep in that empire : .ST. P EEEEE WUNGII. SEPT. 24. 31r. Speck I.ripsig, well known for itissitiliinrigrCrultiTre, and especiilly for ha knowledge of the best manner of mansging sheep. has just act out for Moscow and Saralofr, whence he will go to the provinces in the Black Sea. Mr. Freigang, Counsellor of state, accompanies him in his journey, the object of which is the amelioration of the brced of sheep, and the improvement of the wool. his hoped that the result of his journey will be, to convince toe landowners of the importance of this improvement. This con viction nag already become general at Sr. Petersburgb, where a great many of the first persons in the empire, and of respectable landowners, take great interest in it. There is no doubt that the breed of the sheep may be brought to the highest perfection, not only In our southern governments, which are so rich in pastures, but also in the northern provinces, where the population is more numerous, and we may even expect to see the latter furnish the best wool. A considerable sock of sheep of the best races is now form ing in the Baltic provinces, and it seems that his Excellency the Mintier of the Interior intends to form a similar establishment on the lands belonging to the Crown in the Government of Samloff; this liner establishment would become a school, not enly for the neighbouring Governments, but for the adjacent Steppes, where no'' attention has hitherto been ?aid to thin subject. This useful branch of agricultural industry might thus be extended to New Russia, where the foundation is already laid, and where it only requires i uproveraent, and in the Steppes to the east, while by means of small flocks it might be carried to the highest degree ci perfection in the &slue prosiness. Though a long period will be required to attain this object, the demand for wool will become in the interval more considerable, and our manufactories will be more flourishing. The freedom of ex. Donation will always procure our wools a ready market, without isjoring the trade of the other nations, and will make up for the diminution in the exportation of grain. Our wool fairs begin to be established, and the public takes as interest in them. I'IRATES ON THE COAST OF CUBA. By the following official report from Commotiore War rington, of the United States service, to the Secretary of the Navy st Washington, it apwars that the piratical WTIs who lately infested the coast of Cuba have been completly broken tip and dispersed. United States ship Constellation, off Ilavannah, Aug. 29, 1823. Sir.—.To enable you to ascertain what exertions have been made by, and what success hat attended the efforts of the septadron under command, I forward by this conveyance, a copy of all the re. ports made by the different commanders of its cruisers. If pirates are now, or have been, in force lately on either aide of (...la, they hare not only abstained from making captures, but have concealed themselves so effectually u to prevent detection. The orderly conduct of the fishermen on the coast, the steady pursuit of Clete occupation, and the absence of all suspicious persons, induce a be lief that these outlaws are not at present collected in any force. shalt. however, keep a watchful eye on the island, and prevent, If possible* the commission of depredations which may be attempted under a belief that we are relying too much on appearances. 1 ant, with great respect,- your obedient servant, b. WARRINGTON. To the lion. Secretary of the Navy, Washington. :BE LATE CAPTAIN COCHRANE. Captain J. Dunilas Cochrane, H.N. whose death at Va lencia, S nub America, we announced on Thursday, was perhaps the most extraorilinary pedestrian traveller upon record. At the conclusion of the general peace, he Ira %med on foot the countries of France, Spain, and Portu gal; and in Da), lie tiif, red to undertake a journey into the interior of Africa, to explore the source of the Niger. 'Co accomplish this object, it was even. his intention to hay: sod himself as a slave to one of the owners of caravans travelling in that country. The Admiralty, however.• to whom be made the request, either from regard to the safety of his person, or because they considered such an expedi tion foreign to their department, were unfavourable to the plan. Ile subsequently set out with the intention of tra velling sound the globe, as nearly as it can be done by land, creasing from Northern Asia to America, at Behr ing's Straits—all this, too, on foot, his circumstances admitting of no oth e r mo d e . Hi s l ea di ng o bj ec t w a s to trace the shores of the Pular sea along America, by laud, as Captain Parry is now attempting to do by sea. Having arrived at St. Iktersburgh, and obtained letters of recom rm relation and protection from the Emperor Alexander, he set out to traverse Siberia to Kamtschatka or Behring's Straits, but had not pioceeded far, when, as lie was travelling through a forest, he was attacked by robbers, who first stripped him naked and then left him tied to a tree, from which disagreeable situation lie was released by a boy who happened to be passing that way. Ilia ardour, however,-was by no means abated by dais untoward cir cumstance, for he still pursued his journey, and after en etunteeing incredible dangers, all of which ate fully de scribed in his " Pedestrian Tour," he succeeded in reach ins Kamtuhatka. While there, however, lie became fully aware of the impracticability of his plan, and returned to Europe. In the course of this extensive journey, he states tb it he travelled upwards of 6,000 miles at the expense of toile nee prisms. his petsevering and astonishing pedestrian traveller Veil' nephew of that distinguished and respected of t.er the i fum Admiral Sir Alexander I. Cochrane, C 3. STEAM PACKETS AND GREENWICH BOATS. (From the Sailors' Magazine.] The following is the extract to which we allude in another part of our paper. They are wholly mistaken who fancy that such fanatical rhapsodies as these can produce any other feeling than that of pity for the writer, and contempt for the publications in which they appear : I have this moment stepped on shore, after having at tended on board a ship lying off the Tower, where a ser mon was preached to sailors, soldiers, and rivernien. If my observations this morning are at all correct, 1 must say that the moral and religious state of this part of the river is moat deplorable. 1 really had ho conception it could be so bad ; I cannot express my utter astonishment (not to say more) at the daring of some persons who have printed, ;hat there is no occasion fora seamen's chapel on this part of the Thames. I have, however, something more to say of these active zealous gentlemen who have never sought the salvation of one sailor in this part by a personal visit; and therefore I shall reserve some remarks for another month. My business now is to tell you of the most awful profanation of the Sabbath on the Ricer. From six o'clock this morning until past eight, the stairs near the Tower, and the streets in the vicinity, exhibited such a scene as might well make an Englishman blush, who had the least regard to the honour of his country as a Christi tn land. In addition to the placards that cover the walls, persons were stationed along the streets to meet the crowds of Sabbath-breakers, who rush forward and press them to enter the several packets. It was really appalling to see the number of respeclably-dreased young men and wo men who were hastening forward to the guilty revel, and the tradesmen and their . tirmilies who followed. A friend who lives in the Tower informed me that fiddling, danc ing, and every evil work, proceed on board when the pac kets get below Woolwich ; and that hundreds of young persons are reined by the association of one Sabbath, and the company it leads them to frequent afterwards. I said, I do not wonder now to read in the reports of the police offices, that tills are robhed, f.rgrries numerous, and daughters who desert a parent's roof increase. Ah, Sir, said my friend, there is now a youth either in Newgate or on the point of going there, who has been brought to this by Sabbath-breaking on board a steam packet. The water man who brought me on shore this morning, informed me that the crowd of Sabbath-breakers at the Tower-stairs was amazing. " Six packets, Sir," said he, " are gone don n ; the Vest's, the Eeetese, the Amore, the FAVOURITI. the LONDON ENCINLIR, and I think the SWIFTSCRE ; 1 suppose nearly 2,000 persons are gone in them altogether, and I have counted 38 wherries from the Tower-stairs to Greenwich this morning, each boat carrying eight persons. I have no doubt but we shall have 100 boats at least leave these stairs alone to-day for GREENWICH with parties of Sabbath-breakers." There then are about lOU more on the river in pre -sumptuous violation of the law of God, notwith standing the almost constant accidents and deaths that take place on the Lard's day by boats and bridges. In addition, I find that thete are not less than g,OOO Sabbath-breakers going up the river above London-bridge every fine Sabbath, so that we may estimate .5,000 souls from liecirmoso to the Nome on such a day as this, are exhibiting their bold and fearless rebellion against God as an example to all the towns and villages on the shores of this noble river.—" The waters law thee, 0, God," said the Psalmist, " anti were afraid," hut man, infinitely more stupid than inanimate nature, &firs the Almighty, and tries his forte, trance unto the very utmost. The very tides that bear the guilty culprits on their bosom in the ebb and flood, are God's servants, and obey his commands, ready it' He speaks to inundate the I country, and deluge tire world ; but lie graciously Nile the' flux and reflux perform their accustomed course, and only here and there drowns a Salim:A-breaker as a monument of his vengeance; but will not the eery THAMES appear in judgment at last against those wretched men and women who borrowed its surjbee and its tides to assist them in their crimes against Me God of heaven and earth, whom the river Jordan obeyed, .and at whose word the Red Sea was divided ? Independent of the immense number cf persons brought down to witness the embarkation and debarkation of Sabbath-breakers, and the multitude of watennen and others employed on this day, I must consider that th e In fluence of floe thousand Sabbath-breakers, on sailors; and rivennen, will be peculiarly filial. The British and Foreign Seamen's Friend Society has its sermons and prayer-meetings on the decks of ships all down the river where they lie in tiers. The Greenwich, Woolwich, a nd Gravesend branches aim • also to restrain this horrid wickedness, while the Thames Rivermen Society brings forward its mild and beneficial influence to soften the roughness of its objects afloat, and raise the character of the riverman, by evangelizing his privileges. The Port of London Society employs also its local advantages in the middle pool of the'fhames, to instruct, reform, and convert, the guilty mariner; but alas, they find that Sabbath-breaking is now rolling down upon them like a mighty torrent, and it is with great difficulty they can stein the current, and struggle onward to grasp some sinking victims and save them _prom perishing eternally. Who then are the vile multitude who are thus aiming in paralyze the eflorts of those noble institutions, and wrest from their friendly hand the drowning seamen and river men ? Are they out the population of London, who have churches, chapels, and societies in abundance? Alas, who bath believed our report, and to whom is the arm of the Lord tevealcd? It vas well obaer:'ed by a late Reverend Speaker, " When I attend the public meetings of many evangelical institutions, I ray, surely the millennium is come, when all shall know the Lord ; but when I walk out in the streets, I c7ye out, if the Son of Man were to come, would He find faith ou the earth ?—surely LONDON is the. glee: were Satan's seat is!" Admitting most fully this fearful exclamation concerning the me., apolis in general, still/ lament most aver Me TH AM ER and its banks, h;cause there of late years some of us have worked hard to save souls and raise the gospel standard, and there our hopes have been very sanguine, and our success very great; but the will boar of Me forest rushes forward to despoil oar vines that hare tender gropes, and SATAN the destroyer is poorbig ifUtOa like an overrunning flood, to overwhelm and annihilate that garden we had happily raised for the Lord from the vast howling wilderness of moral degradation and misery. " For these things I weep ; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water," and from my very soul would I exhort every friend of Seamen and Itivermen. " Arise, cry out in the night, in ti.e begitning of the watches pour out thine heart before the face of the Lord," that he may mercifully arrest the course of the mass of LondunSabhath breakers, and save the beloved objects of our commisera tion and zeal from being carried away with the stream, and borne forward to the gulf of endless perdition. Lord, I adore thy matchless gmee, That warn'd me of that dark abyss ; That drew me from those treacherous seas, And bid me seek superior bliss. Deeply affected with such consideration, I hailed the ap proach of evening, when I joined a large congregation on board the Joim and Amelia, of Gainaborough, at Hay's wharf, and after the sermon had the pleasure of !haring a Captain and several sailors fervently praying . for Sabbath breakers. The scene was most delightful, and the relief afforded from the nflectious of the morning unpseakably great. Drectly opposite was the Cos-roar-House prome nade, and a large assembly walking there and watching the return of the steam packets : during the singing of several short,hymns from the Sailors' Ilyinti-Book, the crowd on shore listened with evident surprise and astonishment ; I was delighted to think SATAN had not all the Thames under his control, but that JEHOVAH had his servants mho hod hoisted the Bethel Fla; in sight rf London-bridge, w.tere many sailors were ardently pouring out their souls to God in prayer, or raising their voices cheerfully to his praise. Ah, what a contrast! Such was the south side qf the Thames at half-past eight, p. res. while on the north side some of the packets and Greenwich boats were vomiting forth their guilty drunken hosts of Sabbath-breakers, toddy prepared for rubbing their masters' tills on MONDAY, plan. tiering their mistress's uwrdrobe, cheating, defrauding,l and imposing upon their customers to get money foranother Sunday revel, and snaking assignations fur some tea-gar dens, where the seeds of iniquity sown on board to-day will spring up in for nication and adultery, the sure precur sors of domestic misery. Deserted families, illegitimate offsprings, rapid suicides by arsenic, drowning perhaps in this river, or the lingering heart-breaking inelincholv ; while, in sonic instances, confirmed' libertinism in the male, prostitution in the female, and final transportation or execution in one or both, will seal up in this world the doom of the carat se Sabbath-breaker. hoe -.Nit isidis.

The Ox cord Heratl, after giving the Bow-street report, says, "On Tuesday morning last a person, answering the above description, came to the Wheat-sheaf inn, in this city, dined, drank his tea, and supped, taking a due proportion of brandy and water, &c. Mr. Holland, not mach liking his customer, sent him a bill, which was not paid, and the gentleman took his bed there. In the morning he went out for a short walk, and Mr. Holland followed him as far as Botley turnpike, when the swindler, finding he was watched, ran off. Mr. 11. pursued him closely; the fellow took to the river, and gained the other bank. A man of the name of Winchester, who was fishing, tried to stop him, but he produced a pistol and threatened to shoot him. Afterwards one of Mr. Vaughan's men joined in the pu - suit, and at length secured him in Osncy mill. Mr. Hol land no: knowing that he had presented a pistol at Win chester, and being informed that his offence was only run ning in debt, took what money he had about him, a few shillings only, and suffered him to depart. On the same day a gentleman, who hail seen him while in custody at ()they mill, saw him enter a public-house at \Woodstock, where he ordered a dinner, without having any means of paying for it, but the gentleman informed the landlady of his character, who of course did not provide any thing for him, since which we have heard nothing further of him." Yesterday about half-rut four o'clock, while a young woman named Mitchell was playing onboard the Thames police vessel lying opposite the end of Norforlk-street, she accidentally fell over the steps and wu drowned. Her body nmained under water an hour. When it was found it was removed to the Spotted Dog public-house in Strand lane, and every endeavour was in vain made under the direction of a medical gentleman to restore animation. On Saturday last, a melancholy accident happened to the Right Hon. Lord James Townsend. His Lordship was shooting on the S.iftkey estate, when unfortunately the gua burst, and shattered his Lordship's left hand dread fully : it became necessary to have his Lordship imme diately removed to his residence at Barrow, as it was feared amputation must take place. COACH ACCIDENT.—We regret to state that the ac cident which occurred Yesterday week, by the overturn ing of the Duke of Norfolk coach, between this tow» and Ashton Under Lyne, has caused the death of one of the passengers, Mr. John Okey, a very respectable tradesman in London, and well known in this town. An inquest was held on the body yesterday, at the White Bear Inn ; when it appeared, from the evidence, that the coach was coming down the hill from the canal bridge in Openshaw, at a moderate pace, when the fore axletree broke, and the coach was immediately overturned, falling upon the legs and thighs of Mr. Okey, who .was so dreadfully bruised that he died on Thursday. Two other persons who were hurt, are still confined to their beds; but it is hoped that they will both recover.--Ifinclit4it r dian. AI 01 STATE OF IRELAND. Ktzezwei, Ocr. 12.—We lament to state that the streets of this city exhibited en Monday night as scan dalous, and thoroughly revolting a scene of popular outrage as we ever recollect to have witnessed within its walls. It sone ars that a few respectable inhabitants had resolved on lighting a bonfire on fife Parade, in honour, we believe, of the last return of Lord and. Lady Ormonde to this city, and had provided a few barrels of ale for the occasion. The arrangement originated with a few individuals, who cer tainly entered into It without political feelings of any kind, and who reasonably calculated on the undisturbed enjoy ment of a merry evening. But a different spirit bad been successfully excited in another quarter; and long before the fire was lighted the clamuur and demeanour of the mob, wll3 had been collecting even from the suburbs, in the early part of the evening, gave unequivocal indications of intended violence. When at length the immense pile of turf, timber, and a variety of combustible :nand. was ig nited, and the blaze had just begun to throw its radiance over the surrounding scene, the rabble poured in upon the spot in overwhelming force, armed with clubs, &c., a n d with a demoniac fury rushed into the burning pile, scat tered it once the half lighted materials, and took possession of the ground from which they had just dislodged the un resisting group. After the achiOvement we have described, they proceeded to stave in some barrels of ale, which they spilled, and at tacking the public-houses from which it was intended to distribute the cheer, compelled the proprietors to give up the ale which had been ordered for the occasion. Thi3 they instantly destroyed, and having gained a power ful reinforcement from certain quarters of the city, the rioters continued to parade the streets, shouting fur Butler and It.dependeace"—and with frightful yells de nouncing vengeance on his opponents! By this time the envy of the rabble was at its height. Rushing in collected strength down I'atrick-street, they attacked the house of Ilerrrey Devereux, Esq. and utterly demolished his win dows. They next broke the windows of what, from their cries, they manifestly supposed to have been the house of the proprietor of the Leirlater Juurnal. This series of out rage was but the work of a moment, as it were, and the mischief had been completed before a successful check could possibly be given to the violence of the rioters.— Kilkenny Moderutor. LIMERICK, Om 12.—0 n the night of Friday, the 7th, or early on the morning of Saturday, the Bth .of October instant, the neighbourhood of Curcamore, near Ballybrown, Barony of Pubble Brien, in this county, was in a state of great alarm. A nymber of incendiaries, without distinction, demanded and forced admittance into the farmers' houses, swearing them to put away their servant boys, and in future net to hire any stranger into their employment; they flogged a than named Noonan, a journeyman weaver, and desired that he should be off forthwith. The last house they demanded entrance into was David Roche's, of the same place, but he positively refused, upon which the ruf fians commenced breaking the door and windows, not leav ing a stare together. The Roches being armed inside with a sidle and pitchforks, defended themselves for the space of an hour, in a most determined and spirited manner— the ruffians seeing they were reptilsed, as one of them re ceived a cut from the Lithe, threatened to burn the house, and actually raised up thelhatch in front for that purpose; however, the Police at Ballybrown having received intelli gence of the attack, immediately sallied out, and in a few minutes arrived at Roche a, when the villains decamped.— Limerick Journal. TierziteaV:--CLoxst Et., Ocr. 14.—0 n Sunday last two men, with their faces blackened, entered, while the family were at mass, the house of a farmer of the name of Brien, quite close to Rosegrecn, and robbed the house of several articles, and nine pounds in money. Only a little girl was left to mind the house. On the preceding Satur day another house was robbed in the same neighbourhood, and in open day, by a large, bold-looking (if it were really a) woman, assisted by two others of the same size and ap pearance.—Clunnsel Herald. On Monday, about eleven o'clock, a fight occurred in the streets of Cashel, between two parties belonging to the town, of the names of SuUiVan and Costigan. Front blows they proceeded to throw stones at each other. Some of them were secured by the police, and brought to gaol. On Friday night last, as the police were returning from Cashel to their station at Medfield Mills, they heard five or six shots fired, some of them on their right and some on their left hand ; and in such a manner as appeared to be. signals.—Car/,el Paper. NEW COMET. Gosport Ob,ervatory, Oct. 14, 1825. Last night the Comet was again seen here, in the constellation Olicine. , &alp!aria. It was on the meridi a n a b out a quarter p ast eleven o'clock, six degrees above the horizon, and 150 degrees from the sun, when its right ascension was ino, and declination 33" 30. South. It has moved through a space of nineteen degrees since the night of the 7th inst., equal to 3' 10. a-day. It was not sn bright as in the night of the 7th, nor was its luminous train so long by four degrees, arising, perhaps, front the effect of a thick haze in that part of the )(orison. From the direct south-west motion, and the present position of this Cornet, in comparison of former obser vations made on it, we have no hesitation inxtaying, it is the same that has been so erroneously described in several of the London newspapers, and taken for different Comets ; for it would be an uncommon phenomena to see several Comets in the same hemis- Phere. The mistakes, however, no doubt, arose f ro n t th e ty of its motion. Since the 19th of last July (a day that will be long remembered Rem the circumstance of oppressive heat) when this Comet was said, by M. Biela (see Phil. Adak. avid Jour. for August) to have been two or three degrees above the right car of the constellation Taurus, it has passed through a space in the heavens of 18 de grees, but its motion has been extremely irregular, varying at in tervals from a half to upwards of three degrees a-day. Its South declination is now so great, and its motion an very quick, th at i t will not be seen in this s lasitutle after the lGth lost.; but to the inhabitants of Southern latitudes,- this celestial visitor will be an object of admiration; as it is evidently descending nearer to the earth. CONJUNCTION OF TIIE PLANETS MARS AND JUPITER.— At five o'clock in the morning of the 12th inst. Mars and Jupiter were in conjunction, iz. within half a degree of each other. By the side of Jupiter, Alan did not appear larger than a star of the first magnitude. In the following night, when Mars passed the northern side or Jupiter, they were some minutes closer together.— I/amps/tire Telegraph. A public dinner was given at Waterford, on Monday last, by the Mayor and Corporation, to' the Marquis of Waterford and Lord George Thomas Deresford. 'the Noble Marquis addressed the company, after each of the touts that regarded himself, or his family, and particularly when his own health was first toasted. Although the general policy of his family was frequently at varience with the political expectations of the Roman Catholics, yet he freely acknowledged the general and abstract justice of their claims, and, whenever these claims could be admitted with perfect safety, he would not be behind in the cause of liberality. COM DILATION I>l EiAsxst.tv.—The state of the trade in this town is worthy of remark. The weavers, soon after the passing of the Combination Bill, formed an Union, a committee of which regulated all their movements. For more than the last four months, they have been urging an advance of wages; but as the masters are divided in opi nion upon its expediency—some being favourable and othets adverse—the weavers are trying the experiment of shelving themselves by piecemeal. One of the principal manufacturers, who was the first singled out, having at length yielded to some compromise, they have now declared against another, hut what will be the result cannot yet be ascertained. Be it what it may, however, it is some sa tisfactien to reflect, that the trade of the town still goes on, without any one (excepting the party against whom the opposition is directed) being at all sensible that so formi dable a phalanx Exists, whose whole force is levelled against a single house.—Doncaster Gazette. On Wednesday night, about twelve o'clock, a Lieutenant of Hussars, stationed at Beverley, together with two other officers from Hull, commenced a general attack upon win dows, lamp., &e. in th" streets of Beverley, which they continued till attacked by the watch and constables, with whom they kept up a running fight for an hour. At length, however, the men of war were completely vanquished by the men of peace, and lodged in the gaol till the following day. They were then taken before the Mayor, and bound to appear at the Sessions. The Lieutenant was bound, about a month ago, in a recognizance, to answer a similar complaint preferred by the landlord of the .B:verley Arms. Mocu NATAL INTELLIGENCE. P:paramount, Oct. 15. , .
