I do not hear of any one but Mr. Menzies who has also joined the new coach ; and I have the Post master-General's authority for saying, that if you continue in it you must expect that the Office will act by you as it has done in similar cases. Indivi duals must make their election between a new com pany and an old one.

This letter his Lordship characterised as a direct attempt on the part of Mr. Johnson to prevent any acceleration of the mail, as it clearly hinted to Mr. Anderson, that if he did not abandon his connection with the Defiance coach he could no longer remain a party to the mail contract. This plainly showed that the contract for the conveyance of the mail was not a fair and free contract, since a person who was a party to it could not join any other coach speculation. The only reason to which his Lordship could attribute the interference in this instance was, reserves of Mahrnoud and these new assailants.

The best Texts are adopted, anti the Critical and Expla natory Notes are presented, it is presumed, in a more in viting and accessible form than those of Latin Commen• tators, by avoiding that profuseness of annotation which frequently anticipates the ingenuity, supersedes the in . dustry, and retards rather than promotes the improve ment of the pupil. Examination Questions, adapted to the points discussed in the Notes, and Indexes, are also added ; and the Series, it is hoped, will constitute a con venient introduction to the niceties and elegancies of Greek Literature, and to the perusal of that portion of the relics of antiquity which is best calculated to interest a youthful mind. Each volume will he sold separately ; and it is intended that all shall be published in a cheap form. Sold by Longman ; Baldwin ; Whittaker ; Rivington ; Simpkin; Souter ; and all other booksellers.

RAMSGATE, OCT. 15. The whole of yesterday and last night we ex perienced very rough weather on this coast, a full gale of north wind prevailing, accompanied with very high night tide, which carried away part of " Neptune's Hall," erected on the bathing sands, and caused a portion of the cliff, with the railing attached, opposite the west end of Nelson-crescent, to fall into the sea. There was this morning one hundred sail of French fishing boats in the port, nearly the whole of which this afternoon got under weigh and sailed on the herring fishery. The City of London steam-packet made her usual passage from London to this port yesterday. Came in last evening from London the columbine steam-vessel, being unable to land her passengers at Margate, where she was bound. Arrived in the Royal Harbour this morning the Lord Melville, General Steam Navigation Company's packet, with passen gers from London to Calais. At eleven o'clock this day his Majesty's mail packet the Fuiy, from Ostend to Margate, not being able to reach that port, came into this harbour; the mail and passen gers were landed from Dover Roads. PEMBROKE DOCK, OCT. 13. Yesterday evening, at half-past five o'clock, two gun-brigs, called the Thais and Partridge, were launched at the Dock-yard, and glided into their adopted element in fine style. As soon as they are rigged they will proceed round to Plymouth, under the charge of Mr. Walker. master attendant. The workmen have lately commenced on the ma gazine adjoining the Dock-yard, and also in forming the road which is to lead to the Pier about to be built at Hob's Point, for the accommodation of the Waterford packets; and as soon as the diving bells arrive from Plymouth, which are daily ex pected, the works will be carded on with greater activity. Several spots of land have lately been taken for the erection of dwelling-houses on Government land here, for Government give every encouragement to induce persons to build on their property. The tolls of the market-place, lately formed here at the public expence, are expected to be much higher next year, in consequence of the intended removal of the packet station and other public establishments from Milford to this place. A report has lately been current here, in conse quence of a letter received from a gentleman at Cork, that it is the intention of Government to re move the Admiral's station from that port to -Mil ford, on account of the greater facility in communi cating with the Admiralty, and as the cruisers would equally command the Irish S ea an d St. George's Channel from hence. The circumstance also of its being a more commodious and safe harbour, and the only Royal Dock-yard without an Admiral's flag flying, renders it very probable. that the Defiance ccach travelled at a quicker rate than the mail ; and from the intimation to Mr. Anderson that if he continued his connec tion with the one, he would be no longer a con tractor for the other, it was clear that the officers of the Post Office were, through Mr. Johnson, taking steps to prevent the acceleration of the London and Edinburgh mail, which had been petitioned for by the county. His Lordship also stated, as another striking instance of par tiality in the mail contracts, that the Postmaster at Belford was one of the contractors on that road, and therefore in the anomalous situation of being the check upon his own time. He did not assert this as a fact, but if it was as he heard, it was an abuse which ought not to be allowed to exist. Neither himself nor Sir John . Dal rymple (the convener of the committee), nor in- deed any gentleman connected with the county, had evinced any disposition or desire to call upon the Government to accelerate the speed of the mail, so as to be dangerous to passengers or injurious to horses 'that he asked was, that the speed should be uniform—that it should be the same through the whole road, as it already was in some parts of the road in question, and in many parts of England, even to a greater de gree, where it had been sufficiently proved upon trial to be neither dangerous to passengers nor injurious to the horses. This is all the county asked, and this they were determined to perse vere in until they obtained, or saw reason to think that it could not be accomplished.—Edin burgh Paper. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current of yesterday.) SUGAR. —The Sugar Market is gradually recovering from the late panic; the purchases are progressively in creasing, and the holders are more firm ; the estimated sales this week are 3,000 hhds. and tees. In the Refined Market this week there has been a gradually increasing de mand, both for the home trade and also for shipping ; the chief demand fcr the latter has been for the Mediterranean; the request for home consumption has not produced any advance in the prices; the export goods are a shade lower. FOREIGN SUGAR.—The purchases this week consist of 100 chests fair white Havannah at 475. ; 100 boxes low to good middling Rios at 325. ; 25 hhds. good yellow Porto Rico at 255. 611. EAST INDIA SLTGA R..— The purchases by private contract are quite inconsiderable, consisting only of some parcels of late sales at a premium of 6d. to ls. per cwt. This day by public sale 4,541 bags Mauritius, 501 bags Bengal sugar ; the former a good parcel, and all sold about is. per cwt. lower; dry brown 455. a 465., low yellow 495. a 516., the latter sold particularly low ; fine yellow 57e. ; the Bengal was without certificate, and sold low. WEST INDIA MOLASSES. -Saps of old St. Vincent's at 235., and that price refused for good Dew. COFFEE.—We cannot state any material improvement in Coffee, but the ordinary descriptions of Jamaica are in better demand at rather higher pikes, and there is more firmness generally in the market. The purchases of Fo reign Coffee are confined to a parcel of coloury Brazil at 34a. 6d. ; of East India se►ne good ordinary Ceylon sold at 325., goad Malabar 563. a 58s. 6d., yellow 525. This day 407 bags good ordinary Batavia, a little mixed, was offered at public sale ; all sold 325. 6d., which is a shade lower. RUM, BRANDY, AND HoLLAsms.-The Government contract for 100,000 gallons of Rum was taken on Tues day last, at, or rather under, ls. fid. per gallon, by one firm out of the trade, who are reported to have no Rums on hand. The effect of the contract on the market is rather unfavourable, small parcels averaging proof being reported at Is. 9d, and 4to 5 over Is. 10d. We believe there are no sales of any extent in Jamaica Rums. Brandy is still held with great firmness, but the sales are confined to a small pal eel of low at about 2s. sd. Geneva is still neglected. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.-Tallow continues heavy and declining ; one of the most eminent firms are large sellers both of parcels here and for arrival. Hemp and Flax continue dull. The late letters from St. Petersburgh state the Exchange steady. Tallow 98 and 99 rubles. Sold 4,000 casks. SPICES.-At public sale on Tuesday, (the whole sold with briskness.) 250 bales Cinnamon, firsts 7s. 6d. a Bs. 3d. ; 350 bales of Cinnamon, seconds ss. 7d., 40 bales refused at 4s.

Considerable purchases of Nutmegs and Pepper are reported by private contract, particularly the latter. To-day 340 chests Cassia Lignea 645. a 64e. 6d. ; 100 chests Cassia Buds SOs. a SI e.

English Scottish Pease, Scottish Oatmeal, per 110Ib lli (1 IS 0 Flour, per 2901 b.,,, 510 50 0 We are happy to have it in our power to allay, in a great measure, the consternation produced by the alarming account which appeared in some of the Evening Papers of yesterday, which, though not wholly without foundation, has been greatly exag gerated with respect to loss of lives. The following, as far as it goes, may be depended upon as a correct outline of the unfortunate, and we may add, almost unprecedented affair : The Dolphin frigate, used as a hulk for the safe keeping of convicts employed in Chatham Dock yard, was moored close to the jetty, with a stage to the shore, for the purpose of their accommodation from the ship to the shore; and the length of the moorings that confined her to the shore Crete appro priated in length to the ordinary rise and fall of the tide. The vessel was also further secured by piles driven on the off side. The late spring tides, how ever, have been unusually high, and shortly after midnight on Thursday, Capt. Lloyd was aroused from his sleep by the noise of the water rushing into the lower part of the vessel. Unable to account for such a circumstance, he went immediately upon deck and gave such directions to the Officers under him for the enlargement of the convicts,a , , we are happy to state, prevented the dreadful loss of life which must otherwise have ensued. The cause of the oc currence was still a mystery until the snapping of the moorings which confined the vessel to the quay at once explained the cause. It appears that the unusual rise of the tide had so much tightened the moorings which held her to the shore as to prevent her rising above her usual level, and caused the water to force itself into the lower ports, and would, no doubt, have swamped her, had not the moorings given way, the immediate conse quence of which was, that she careened awl fell over on the opposite side from the quay, and the cries of upwards of 200 persons who were on board of her at the time, and just roused from their sleep, were dreadfully appalling. Fortunately the orders pre viously given by Capt. Lloyd were so promptly obeyed, that most of the convicts gained the deck, arid with the assistance that was immediately given from the Dock-yard and the town, we are happy in being en abled to state that only three persons were drowned, who could not be got at; and one convict «ho un fortunately received a blow of an adze from one of the crew, while endeavouring to cut away a bulk head to effect his liberatiop, from the effects of which he expired yesterday afternoon. The four bodies are now lying at the New Hos pital for an inquest, which is expected to be held or them this day. Mr. Capper, of the Home Department, who is Superintendant of the Hulks, arrived in town about nine oclock last night, having gone to Chatham for the purpose of ascertaining the extent of the unfor tunate occurrence. It is somewhat remarkable, that a circumstance to the above happened to a brig called the Fame, of Dublin, Robert Baker, master, in the year [790, at a village named Marcus Hook, on the bank of the Delaware, about 25 miles from Philadelphia. The brig was strongly moored by hawsers to the wharf, and on the rising of the tide about midnight she was so tightly confined on the side next the wharf, as to be nearly on her beam ends before the crew were aware of the cause. The snapping of the hawsers, however, and the consequent surge of the vessel, at once apprised those on board of the real cause. Fortunately other vessels were lying out side of her in the same tier, and prevented her from upsetting on the off-side, and no further bad conse quences ensued but the breaking of the hawsers. Had it been daylight, the evil in both cases might have been avoided by easing off the moorings. The writer of the above article was on board of the brig at the time. - - AFFAIRS OF THE EAST. (From the Constitutionnel of Tuesday.) THE TURKISH GENERALS, CHIEFS OF CORPS, -WILL THEY SUBMIT TO THE TREATY OF THE 14TH SEP. TEMIIER ? It is very remarkable that the treaty of the 14th of September should be already a month old, and that we should nevertheless be reduced to the first documents, published even before official advice of the signature of the act. In this want of ulterior information the public papers of all . countries find themselves under the necessity of discussing the conditions which they know, and the unanimous opinion of the counter-revolu tionary journals is, that they are not as moderate as they had wished them to be ; and hence, on their part, are hazardous menaces of opposition, and timid calculations of the chances of success. What these absolute organs hardly dare to let out as the resolution which they lend to their masters, the situation of things in the east itself daily prepares. To make plain the consequences which grew out of this situation, it is necessary to set out from a fixed point. Thus it is necessary to admit that the condi tions stipulated on the 14th of September are those which are known, that they have been de creed and assented to, without the effective con currence of the mediatory ministers; for signa tures admitted by courtesy do not constitute an efficacious intervention—in fine, that the Sultan, in engaging himself, has only yielded to the ne cessities of his position, without having cal culated if it shall be in his power to execute the clauses. These points fixed, the smallest knowledge of the places, the things, and the men, is quite suf ficient to convince us of the impossibility of maintaining the Act of the 14th September, de clared in the terms which have come from the East. The places are ill defined in this treaty. What is, for example, the free use of the two 13osphori without effective guarantees ? The things are stipulated without proportion. How is the Sultan to pay 10,000,000 of ducats on the one part, and 1,500,000 on the other ? The men are ill appreciated. Mahinoud might, perhaps, have flattered himself with the passive obedience of a nation, consenting at his voice to her overthrow. Would the different tribes of his subjects have, however, silenced their respective animosities, because he wished it to be done ? 'Would the chiefs of his armies submit themselves to an order, received from a monarch whom they could not regard to be free ? These radical difficulties render more than un certain the execution of the article-3 of the treaty of the 14th Sept. If they are only considered with reference to the interest of the Turks, we are au thorized to refuse them all character of moderation. It is not thus, if they are argued upon the rights of Russia. The Times has avowed that they may be found moderate at Petersburgh, where is known the amount of sacrifice which they are to compensate. Be it as it may, there is a power which can lc the frontiersi y con (h o t i i . o u n t l i i s a s v i a ing . not a fo e r co it m s n r i e o s d u a l t t et ollextend tt removal ene e t he If the Paellas combine to resist, the treaty of t r o art an o o f tl t ir le r o tl p ie i : o it s r peace will be no more than the continuance of t l h l e i e r " e .4 % l. ;il a l n c d m i n ts m open to England. iron The dissidents placed at Sophia support them selves in their point of departure, on their left and north upon Widdin and the Danube ; on the right and south on the Hem Us. They ha've behind them all the western part of the Sultan's possessions in Europe, inhabited by the most Warlike people in the empire. This part of Turkey is likewise the most proper for a war of posts and stratagems ; it is bounded on the south and west by the sea. What position more favourable for the continua. tion of hostilities! In such an hypothesis, General Diebitseh will have occasion for considerable reinforcements to maintain himself in his new conquests,—forced, perhaps, to arm the Christians in the provinces which he occupies ; and in that case, will it be easy for him to constrain exasperated spirits, and will there not be sanguinary affrays between the Rajas and their ancient rulers ? If the combined army act upon the offensive, notwithstanding the treaty of the 14th, it can, in forming a detachment, rally there the forces of Generals Geismar and Kiv‘eleff, fight them, and drive them back into Servia. But to follow them upon that new ground would be to cont• promise his position in Romelia, and begin t murderous warfare, the result of which would be slow and doubtful. This new combination of military operations ought to lead the English into the arena. Mas ters of the sea, they will find themselves in com munication with the dissidents in possession of the country bounded on the east by the chain of the Ilemus, which rises above the Gulf of Satnos, near Widdin, and where they will not want succours of all kinds. It is thus that hopes - may be entertained of counteracting the projects of the Russians, and retarding their definitive establishments on the Bosphorus. Russia will have an interested auxiliary in the Greeks of the Morea, but how can they commu nicate with them ? The latter, abandoned by France, pressed by the English on the side of the sea, and assailed by the ferocious bands who follow dissatisfied Generals, will have over again the days of calamity which European assistance had removed, and which the inhuman and ego tistic policy of England bids fair to restore'. What reflections grow out of this concourse of circumstances ! The Bermuda Paper of the 2Sth July says, that the courier from Miramiehi to Frederictown reports, that a man of the name of HARE, the murderer, end an swering to his description, had arrived at that port, and the inhabitants having mobbed him, he took his departure for the United states. HORSE POWER.—We every day hear of steam-boats and manufactories having engines of .perhaps 20, 20, or 40-horse power; but as there probably may be among our readers some who do not precisely comprehend what that power means, we beg leave to explain the sub ject as it is now understood. The power of a harike is considered to be that which will elevate a weight of 33,0001b5. the height of one foot in a minute of time, equal to about 901b5.; at the rate of four miles an hour. (Another estimate reduces this to only 22.0001b5. raised one foot high in a minute, equivalent to 1001bs. 21 miles per hour.) This is a force greater than that exerted by a common cart-horse, which is not estimated at more than 701bs. ; that is to say, that a horse harnessed to a cart, weighing with its load 40 ewt. or two tons, and drawing on a level road at the rate of four miles an hour, makes use of the same force as if his traces, instead of being fag teued to a cart, were passed over a pulley, and lifted per pendicularly a weight of 701bs. The expression of the power of the steam-engine in horses' powers is come quently more practical than scientific. It was introduced when steam-engines first began to supersede house-mills, when the manufacturer naturally inquired, how many horses a steam-engine would dispense with ?

One of them immediately divested himself of 4 portion of his apparel, and in the most prompt manner plunged in after her. For some few seconds the enter prising young gentleman was under water, and great fears were entertained for his safety ; but he shortly reached the surface with the object of his search, and succeeded, although with consi lerahle difficulty, in bringing her on land. From the short interval in which she had been in he water, she very soon recover ed, and was conveyed to the house of a gentleman who witnessed the occurrence, Cheyne-walk, Chelsea. From questions put to her, was ascertained that disappointment in love was the cause of her attempting the rash act. She expressed coniderahlo contrition, and wept bitterly, • This day was published, in Bvo. P I C H AR I S; A TRAGEDY, in Five Acts.
