Previous admissions made Elate as to a serious eterept having been made by the Spanish Con llitutionalists. It remains to be seen whether the glimpse of success which attended the first best of the insurrection, by the taking of Tarifa, will be followed by simultaneous risings in other parts of the kingdom. Unless some strong de eloastrations are speedily made in various quar ters, the fate of the handful of men who have thrown themselves into Tarifn, as well as that of the, few bands who have already formed them "lees, will of course he quickly decided by the French forces. The Quosidienne alludes to sub jects of a different kind, in a letter from Madrid, dated August 9, in which it is stated that the hastening the expedition against America is more than ever agitated ; that for this purpose a Senor quITEDO is to purchase. two frigates and several °thee vessels in England ; and that the new Mi lker ZIA BERMUDEI will have several inter dew with M. de VILLIME, on questions of ex_ treele delicacy and the highest importance. The policy of France towards South America is of %Oft conspicuous aspect. GOD grant that she ills; find occupation enough in attempting to pre. 'errs her Iniquitous conquest in the Peninsula.

COLTON.—Many rumours have hen afloat lately, relative to the re-appearance of this Gentleman, some asserting that he had een seen in America "theta that he was now residing in London. In tracing the I t l Purces of these stories, they all appear to be without founda. Z 1 1 . 6". The fact is, that nothing has been heard of Mr. Colton i e e May 1823, the period of his mysterious disappearance. oat adds to the singularity of the myster is, that on the received of May, the day that he was last seen in London, he haul ' ece ivell at a hankees in Pall-Mull 3,0001. in notes of 100 L . 11 ' 4 4. In the evening of that day, he changed one of these ° ,tell at a gambling-house in Bury.street, No. C, where he lost - 4 . On the next day he was seen at Epsom races, in the cont tanY Of some of the associates of the late unhappy Thurtell. From that day nothing has been known of him. It is remarka ble, that of die other twenty-nine 1001. notes, not one has ever be e" Paid into the Bank, not can they be at all traced from him.

PLACES OF FASHIONABLE RESORT. Baiuu'row, Auo. 22.—His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK attended Divine Service, with the military, at the Ca valry Barracks this morning—i. e. the four troops of the 12th Lancers which arrived and took possession of these quarters, a few days since. This town is to be the head-quarters of the regiment named, and some anxiety is manifested here for the appearante of their Band, in the hope that their services will extend to the Steyne, which, for a series of months past, has, to the common regret, been without the advantage of such an attraction. The Duke of York visited the Count and Countess of Lieven and the Prince Gortchakoff, yesterday, who are con tinuing their sojourn at the Royal York Hotel. Lord Alvan ley returned to the said Hotel on Friday. Lord Glengall, it is said, will be here again in adsy or two. The Duke of York was on horseback yesterday, His Royal Highness continues the cold bath, at NV illiarns's. The Countess Lievea is almost daily included in the Balnean assemblages at Williams's. I asal/toe, Auo. 23.—The Earl of Liverpool has recently honoured us with a visit, and on Saturday evening Sir Godfrey Webster arrived, about ten o'clock, in his yacht. The com pany here were a little alarmed upon hearing guns fired from a vessel which was supposed to be in distress. Their fears were in a degree confirmed by the appearance of a blue light at the mast-head; but several more being exhibited, all alarm sub sided, and the yacht was recognised. Sir Godfrey came direct from Bordeaux, which place he left last Tuesday. We under stand he proposes remaining at Battle Abbey about a week, and then intends sailing for Antwerp. The arrivals here are very numerous ; good houses are readily engaged, and accom modation is not obtained without some difficulty. WORTHING, AUG. 22.—The influx of visitors to this de. lightful summer retreat have been, during the last two or three weeks, numerous beyond former precedent, and overflow of se lect and fashionable company has been the result. Under these circumstances, we have to regret a drawback upon the gaiety of the place in a series of unsettled weather, which puts more or less a check upon excursive amusement in the vicinity, as well as home promenades. In the intervals of more auspi cious weather, however, the Esplanade is a busy scene, and being almost instantly available after a shower for pedestrian exercise, it is of course the grand mustering point, and ex. hibita crowds of elegant and fashionable company . . CHELTENHAM, A uo. 22.—This is a delightful spot. The many beautiful walks which wind tastefully through the suburbs, whichever way the visitor directs his steps—the com modious rides, all commanding an excell e nt prosp ect of the surrounding country and hills—the pure air which is enjoyed —and the lively and lovely groups who crowd to the IVells every morning, quaffing the waters 60 full of health, all tend to make this resort a delightful retreat. To those who have been absent for a few years, astonishment must be imparted, by the sight of the many costly and handsome buildings, varying from the extent of the noble mansion to the more simple and limited stzuetursrof the villa and cottage, todesignate which every name is in request, ilromVittoria to Beaufort, from Waterloo to Claremont. The town is consequently much enlarged. Amongst the arrivals are the following His Highness the Prince do P o ligzac Count de .Polignac, Earl of Than et, Viscount and Lady East_ nor, Lady Wilitcombe, Lady Vane, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Anson, Sir It. and Lady Wolseley, Sir W. Parker, Sir M. and Lady Fitzpatrick, Sir 0. Ogilvie, Sir John Kingston James, General Sir W. Sheridan, Mrs. and Miss Maitland, Gen. Ash, General Clarke, Col. and Mrs. L'Aguilar Major Richardson, Major Sharp, &c. DOVER, AUG. 22.—The passage between this Port and the Continent, has this week been as brisk as at any time during the peace. His Majesty's packet the Spitfire sailed yesterday to Calais with eight carriages and more than 100 passengers; and the same vessel has carried in the three trips she made in the present week, 580 passengers and 20 carriages ; amongst the last departures of note were the Earl of Yarmouth, and C. Western, Esq., M.P. for Sussex. Prince Esterhazy entertained Prince Sapieha and a distin guished party at dinner yesterday, at Chandos House, Caven dish-square. The Marchioness Dowager of Hertford, and a very select circle of her most esteemed friends, are at present sojourning on Mount Zion, Tunbridge Wells. The topic in Italy is, that the Princess Borghese has dis carded all her lovers for a young Englishman. The Duke of Devonshire's improvements at Chatsworth will cost, it is said, two hundred thousand pounds. The Earl of Verulann is improving his beautiful house in Grosvenor-square. Mr. and Mrs. Ball Hughes talk of a Continental tour. Fishing in punts has become fashionable, since the Marquis Chohnondeley has set the example. Sir Matthew White Ridley, Bart., M.P. for Newcastle upon-Tyne, intends giving a Grand Dinner on Tuesday, the 7th of September, at Blagdon.house, Northumberland;to the Officers of his late Regiment, the Newcastle Associated Volun. teer Infantry. Lady Cremore arrived on Friday at the beautiful family seat of his Lordship, Dawson's-grove, Ireland, from England, after an absence of some years. On that occasion the tenantry vied with each other in testifying, by bonfires and every had of re joicing, their respect to her Ladyship, and warm attachment to that Noble Family. The Holyhead Triumphal Arch, in honour of his Majesty's visit to Wales, was publicly opened on the 6th instant by the Marquis of Anglesea, the Committee of Management, and se veral hundred persons, who had purposely assembled in honour of the occasion. A rustic fete was given on Saturday at Southill Park, Beds, the seat of W. H. Whitbread, Esq. M.P., two hundred sat down to dinner, after which rural sports and dances on the lawn protracted the pleasures of the day to a late hour. A letter dated Gottehhurgh, 30th Jul y, says— " On the 26th inst. this city was honoured with the presence of their Majesties the King and the Queen, who were received in the most enthusiastic and gratifying manner by immense crowds of people who had assembled from all quarters. On the 27th the merchants gave a Ball, which was unique for splendour and magnificence. Not only the King and Queen were present, but his Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. Her Majesty graciously condescended to open the Ball, by dancing a Polonaise with Count Von ItissEN, the Governor. A LUCULLIAN supper terminated the gaieties of the evening. The Crown Prince and his Consort set offon the 29th for Christiania. Their Majesties intend being in Stockholm about the 7th August." ON SNUFF-TAKING. — Every professed, inve terate, and incurable snuff-taker, at a moderate computation, takes one pinch in ten minutes. Every pinch, with the agree. able ceremony of blowing and wiping the nose, and other in cidental circumstances, consumes a minute and a half. One minute and a half out of every ten, allowing sixteen hours to a snuff-taking day, amounts to two hours and twenty-four minutes out of every natural day, or one day out of every ten. One clay out of every ten amounts to thirty-six anti a half to every year. Hence, if we suppose the , practice to be persisted in forty years, two entire years of the snuff-taker's life will be dedicated to tickling his nose, and two more to blowing it.— The expence of snuff, snuff-boxes, and handkerchiefs, en. crouches as much on the income of the snuff-taker as it does on his time; and by the money thus lost to the public, a fund might be constituted fur the discharge of the national debt.— The Economist.) VAUXIIALL GARDENS. These Gardens displayed lest evening a scene of splendour and magnificence equalled only by the brilliant display on the evenings of the Fetes, given to commemorate the birth-days of his MAsEsTy and of his Royal and illustrious Brother, the Duke of YORL. The occasion was the Anniversary of the Birth-day of hii Royal flightless the Duke of CLARENCE. The first thing which struck the eye on entering the Gardens, was the collection of light most tastef u lly ex hibi te d. Notwith standing the brilliancy of the illumination, consisting of 15,000 additional lamps, the sight was not wearied, but was skilfully relieved by a variety of devices and mottos. Various national flags were distributed through the Gardens, and illuminated according to their colours; and the whole was relieved by crowns, Chinese lanterns, &c., which were very well distri buted. The Theatrical Entertainments were ably got up, consisting of two entire pieces. The first was the favourite Pantomime, with some additional songs, and the next w a s the Chinese Wed. ding. The Fantoccini followed, and was much applauded. To these succeeded the surprising performances of the French Juggler, as he is popularly call e d, though he deserves a name more commanding of respect, by a display of grace, strength, and accuracy of sight and action, for the possession of which he might be envied by the highest in rank among his sex. The Concert, in which was repeated the admired Overture to Der Frei:eh:llx, and the Grand Battle Sinfonia, was warmly applauded ; and a Birth-day Ode, from the pen of Mr. Rooke, was deservedly well received. At twelve the Fireworks were exhibited with a brilliancy never before surpassed, and with some very agreeable variations and novelties. On the whole, we do not hesitate to pronounce this Com memoration to be one of the best in our experience of the Gar. dens ; and notwithstanding the immense expence which it has occasioned, we would recommend its repetition, and would almost engage to the Proprietors that the receipts at their Trea sury will amply reimburse them. TB EKIt MY The 4th and last division of theth arrived on the 20th instant, on board the Indian Trader transport, at Chatham, from Quebec. The 2d division of the 2d regiment of Foot arrived on the 20th inst. at Chatham front Gosport. The 2d division of the Bth regiment of Infantry arrived on the 21st instant at Portsmouth from the Mediterranean. The 67th regiment of Foot is ordered, on being replaced at Cork by the 65th regiment, to embark for Chatham, prepara tory to its proceeding to New South Wales. The 48th regiment of Infantry is ordered, on being replaced in New South Wales by the 67th Foot, to proceed to Madras. One troop of the 2d regiment of Life Guards received orders to march yesterday from Egham to Maidenhead, and to remain there till the races at the former place are over. FATAL. DuEL—Ma. COULTUARD SHOT.—It has been stated that a Gentleman was brought to the Roebuck public-house, Weston, Oxford shire, in a state of great exhaustion, occasioned by a pistol-ball having lodged in the left shoul der. Eminent surgeons were of opinion that an operation would be attended with great danger, and the wounded gentleman was removed to his Oen residence, about six miles distant. On his arrival at home it was deemed absolutely neces sary to perform the operation ; but the unhappy gentleman died during the attempt to extract the ball. AasexTnes.—We have a report of Lord Non- BURY'S charge to the Grand Jury of the county Westmeath, which, as a specimen of Bench elo quence, q our u t e I cole Umisnss. The following passage is u fficiently curious to merit a place in o remark able and just :—" Gentlemen," said the Noble and Learned Lord, 64 I consider the absentees as the great curse of Ireland—they will, however, come sneaking back again,antl you will of course use them civilly, but don't forget to tell them what you have been doing while they were ab sent ; above all, don't forget to tell them that they have been the chief cause of it all. Back again they will come, without doubt, for let other countries possess what they may, I know of no country on earth whore a .man with a little money eon so comfortabte perch hiMself down as iu Ireland."—(Dublin Freeman's Journal.) JOSEPH BUONAPARTE, we have already stated, has arrived at Portsmouth with his suite, in the Cthis, from New York. The Ex-Kin g of Spain and S • and Naples had en gage d t h e w h ole ca bi n. I t is the first time that he ever visited this country ; indeed Lecters is , we believe, the only member of the family (except NAPOLEON himself) who ever set foot on the British shore. The object of the visit of his brother Jostert is not stated. Cuntous Roanensr.— An agreeable-looking young woman, calling herself Jane Webater, applied on Tues day last at one of the inns at Bolton for a situation as a ser vant; the mistress of the inn, however, had no immediate vacancy, but referred her to Mr. Watson, druggist and confec tioner, who she understood was in want of a servant. The young woman accordingly waited upon Mr. and Mrs. Watson, to whom her appearance and manners were particularly pleasing : she said she had lived four'years in the service of Mr. Legh, of High Legh, by whom any application respecting her character would be satisfactorily answered. She described her sAl as a native of Hale, where her father had been a farmer._ She conversed much on the subject of her former services, and mentioned the names of several respectable families in War rington and Manchester, some of whom Mr. Watson knew. She seemed pleased with the idea of being engaged by Mr. Wat son, and said she would take lodgings for an evening or two until his inquiries respecting her character should be replied to. In the mean time, she observed, she would be glad to be useful to Mrs. Watson. Such, however, was the young woman's appearance and demeanour, that afLr agreeing upon terms, it was thought it would be putting her to urrreessary expellee to let her go into lodgings, and they accordingly fixed for her immediately entering upon her situation. Mr. AVatson proposing to write on the following day to Mr. IRO. During the evening her attention to her duties justified the good opinion formed of her, and the family in due time retired to rest. In the morning, however, the new servant was missing, and it was found that every accessible part of the house and shop, drawers. desks, and cupboards, had been completely ransacked. Early in the morning of Wednesday, the young woman was observed, along with a labouring man, carrying some packages towards the coach-offices, but no particular notice was taken of them.— During the day, however, she was traced towards Warrington, and a vigilant pursuit has been commenced. On entering Mr. ‘Vatson's service, she had in her possession two elegant scarfs, a silk shawl, and two or three superb pincushions, brooches, &c., which she stated were presents made to her in her former places of service; but we have just heard that these are the pro perty of a respectable family residing between 'Wigan and Bol ton, who had kindly given her shelter on the preceding even ing.—(Liverpool Mercury.) Some time ago as a lady of the Fortescue family, who possessed great personal charms, wa s wa lki ng along a narrow lane, she perceived just behind her a hawker of earthenware driving an ass with two panniers laden with his stock in trade. To give the animal and his master room to pass, the lady suddenly started aside, which so frightened the poor animal that he ran away, but had not proceeded far when he unfortunately fell, and a great part of the crockery was broken to pieces. The lady in her turn became alarmed, lest, when she came up to the man, he should load her with abuse, if not offer to insult her; but, to her surprise, when she ar rived at the spot, the man, with great good humour, gallantry, and wit, exclaimed, " Never mind, Madam, Bantam's ass was frightened by an angel I" Yesterday afternoon a poor, woman with a child in her arms, and two children by her side, was crossing Guilford street Foundling Hospital, when a person in a gig, driving along at a quick rate, run over one of the children. The near wheel passed over both its thighs. The man in the gig exclaimed—" d—n your blood, why did not you keep out of the way," and gullopped elf its fast as he could. Neither of the child's limbs was broke, though it received severe injury. POETRY. ON DREAMING OF MY MOTHER. Spirit of her, too briefly, who sojouned Upon this dim and clouded orb of earth ; Whence haat thou fled, to what bright sphere retura'd, Spirit! that gav'st this worthless being birth ? In what blest region, where the chasten'd mirth (The holy bliss of Angels) fills the air • With dulcet symphonies of love and grace, Doat thou now dwell ? With flow'r-enwreathed hair, And snow-white wings unifurl'd, methinks I trace Thee, floating buoyantly thy sweet course around some star, Than gems our azure sky more glorious, far : Circled in Beauty's bow 'r, where Amaranths glow, And all unfailing flowers in heaven that grow Expand their many colour'd blossoming, And o'er the enchanted space sweet incense fling. Oh ! if thou'rt thus enspher'd within the beam, The mild bright beam of thy Creator's face ; Visit me oft as in sonic lulling dream, Let retrospection still such thoughts give birth, That I may think thou still adorn'at our earth.

The two first heats were well contested, and the following persons rowed the grand heat : —Thomas Loader, Benjamin Cummings, James Harrison, and William Nevill. At starting Harrison took the lead, but was overrated by his friends, and Loader passed him, followed by Cummings. These two kept the lead throughout, and Loader came in winner. He received the boat amidst the loudest cheers. Cummin gs received 41., Harrison 3/., and Nevill 21. The succes s f u l candidates were loudly cheered by their friends. COWES REGATTA, Aua. 22. Our Regatta commenced on Thursday, and the Parade was crowded by vehicles of every description, from the gay coach and four down to the humble market-cart, while youth, beauty, and fashion were anxiously expecting the signal-gun for the boats to repair to ;heir respective stationa.---At three o'clock, the un was fired from Lord Yarborough's ship, arid instantly the live following four-oared boats, belonging to Cowes, came to the starting-post, Mr. Ward's Meteor, with white and red hori zontal for her distinguishing flag; Mr. Scrivens' Swallow. blue; Mr. Stephens Willing Maid, red; Mr. Stephens' Nell Gwynn, white; and .Mr. Cocks' Lightning, red, with a white cross. They had to proceed from the starting post, round Lord Yarborough's yacht, Falcon, off Cowes Castle. The Earl of Craven's yacht, Louisa, the Duke of Norfolk's yacht, Swallow, and the Earl of Cravente tender, • May-Fly, all moored in owes Roads. Five succes sive times, at starting, the Lightning kept to the eastward of the others, and passed the Falcon first, and had the lead consi derably till the third round, when she was passed by the Willing- Maid, and in the fifth by the Nell Gwynn, which two boats got the first and second prizes, and the Lightning the third, the other two were completely distanced, but it certainly was the fault of the formation of the boats, for the men behaved nobly. The second match by the following galleys belonging to the St. I felons, was an admirable race. The Pigeon for her distinguish ing flag carried blue, with white ball ; the Dove, white, with blue ball ; the Swallow, white, with red ball ; the Martin, red, with white ball ; and the Hawk, yellow, with red ball. It was won by the Dove. The Martin was the favourite at starting. On Friday the rain was rather unfavourable for the sailing match, hut notwithstanding there were more people than on Thursday, no doubt owing to the beautiful breezes which prevailed the whole day. The vessels entered for the race were the Nancy, L. Cock, owner, carrying the blue flag; the Cupid, It. Newman, red, white and blue, horizontal; the Jane, %V. Davidge, blue peter; the iieorge, J. Matthews, white and red, vertical; the Mary, E. Mitchell, blue, white, and vertical; the Jane, George, Greenham, blue and white, horizontal ; and the Argus, Join Wallis, red. There were four prizes, one of' thirty sovereigns, one of eighteen, one of twelve, and another of ten. The ',To ros remained in a north and south line, off' Cowes Castle, with their sails close down, and booms topped, until the signal gun was fired from the Falcon yacht, when they proceeded to the southward of the %Vest Black Buoy, of the Middle Bank off Norris Castle, then to the Emit White Buoy of the Brambles, then to the Vest Red Buoy of the Brambles, and thence round the yacht Falcon, off' Cowes Castle, going the same course afterwards three times, and leaving the Buoys and Falcon yacht on the larb oar d h an d. Th e fi rst prize was won by Mr. Wallis' Argus; the second by Mr. Davidge's Jane ' • the third by Mr. Greenhom's Jane; and the fourth by Mr. Newman's Cupid. The prizes were adjudged, and all disputes decided by the Sub-Commissioners of Pilotage of this port. There was a Ball at Blundell's Medina Hot e l In the evening, which was numerously and fashionably attended. Owing to the wet wea ther on Thursday and Friday, the fire-works were not set off till Saturday night, when Jones (the engineer from Vauxhall) delighted every one present with his display from the Parade. All the yachts in the harbour and roadstead displayed blue lights in succession, and fired rockets in e v er y direction. The night was dark, and what with the explosion of the rockets and other lire-works, some of which were very brilliant, Cowes had really the appearance of a bombarded town. EFFECTS OF BATHING. ri l ' ie he sh r a e pe of m edical illrri advice, Pno subject or treatment, lwtore the public, in t treatment, which requires more decided attention and perspicuity than that of bathing, viz. :—A patient under the treatment of a physician, surgeon, or apothecary, is recommended to proceeed to Margate, or any other bathing place, for the purpose of benefiting by the ap plication of salt water on the body ; the simple fact is this, patients labouring under scrofula, hypochondiasis, and various other diseases too numerous to be mentioned, are those which practitioners generally recommend as fit subjects for sea air, and immersions in salt water. because the practitioner has already exerted all the little science he is possessed of, and still retaining that self ponession of self interest, which is the unanimous feeling of socitty ; he is induced from a Motive of preservation of character and reputation, to recommend his paients to try means w hich his own p rac ti ca l resources .are appreciate or justify ; he sends the patient, i w ili i t os e e ou g e c t k e e n t t s i o l t ehas chained, and whose constitution he has perhaps debilitated, by a profusion of delectable matter in the shape of drugs, to seek his last remedy at a bathing. place. Bathing acts in this way, a strong and hearty subject may enjoy the pleasures of bathing with impunity ; but the debilitated subject who goes to Margate for the purpose of ex pectation, more than the system which he is recommended to pursue, should be careful in selecting the practitioner, who is capable of giving him that advi ce whi c h i s necessary for the restoration of his health ; and let him mark this genenral rule. When he gets to 'Margate, observe strictly the state of his Ito. mach, viz. can he eat a good dinner, take his glass or two of wine without inconvenience, if so he may, according to the advice of his medical attendant, immerse his body in the water every morning, but on no account remain in it after that immersion; those whose symptoms are snore debilitated, should merely immerse themselves every second morning, and as quickly quit the bath. The general principle, however, which should be adopted by persons seeking a sea-port for the speci fi ed purpose of receiving bene fi t, should be a particular attention to the alvine secretions, &c. let the bowels be moderately_ open, if possible by the action of nature ; otherwise, by the administration of a mild aperient, viz. one grain of ipecacuanha, and ten or twelve of rhubarb, and the following morning of the bath may be taken with benefit for the first week, using it every second day; should the desired effect follow,' by invigorating the system, it may then be pursued daily keeping in view this material point, that bathing can only be of service, by sudden immersion, anti that remaining any length of time in the water, must invariably produce evil, whilst the ob ject is to effect restoration or strength ; adhere to this, and Margate will in future have to boast that England has found a second Montpelier.—(4lfedical Adviser.) At Margate the pickpockets have had a rich harvest among the Cocknies. On Sunday even iug there was a general clearance of watches, purses, and handkerchiefs ) on the Promenade Pier, BOW.STREKT—(Tais DAT.) ME LATE DISTREISING CASE.—Our Realms are already aware of the case of Marphset O'Brien, otherwise Jones, and that a very con siderable sum has been raised for her. The real Jones and his wife appeared yesterday, and com plained of the use made of their n ame by the un fortunate woman, in consequence of there being no other fringe-maker of that name. The poor woman this day again attended, and declared that she did not know Jones, and only used that name as the first that came to her mind, iu order to save her character. She was ordered. to call again next week, by which time some further quiry will be made.

B. 8111PWRECE.—The schooner Eleanor, of Natant', New Pro. vidence, was on a voyage from Nuevitas bound to Baracoa, with a number of passengers on board, when, in the night of the 23d of May, site suddenly struck upon one of a cluster of small Keys called the Brothers, within about 12 miles of Ragged Island. The Eleanor, after.foriking, drifted off for some dis tance, when she sunk in deep water, and 16 of the passengers in stantly perished. Five persons, however, among whom were Mr. John Armbrister, jam, and a young man of the name of Zanicle, were fortunate enough to reach one of the Keys, where they remained in great distress for 12 or 14 days, when Zanicle determined to endeavour to get to Ragged Island,and according. ly pushed off astride of a log of wood which he picked up, and paddled himself to th a t island, where he landed very much exhausted from famine and fatigue, and related the state in which he had left the survivors on the Key. A vessel was dispatched front Ragged Island in search of those on the Key; but when they arrived there, they could find no one; but saw a grave where one person had been buried, which Zanicle supposed to have been a sick Spaniard whom he had left there. It appeared afterwards, from the information to Mr. John Atm- Mater, jun., who was of those left on the small Key when Mr. ?Ankle quitted it on a log of wood which drifted with him to Ragged Island, that himself and two Spaniards, after remaining 17 days on the small desert Key, were providentially relieved by the Spanish brig Juan Maria alias Leon, Carlos Ribero, master, from Malaga bound to Bavannah, at which last port Mr. Armbrister was landed, after experiencing the greatest kindness and the most humane attention. The Eleanor was chartered by the Governor of Baracoa, I)on Louis Arua, to go to Nuevi. tas for his niece, who had lately lost her husband there, and sailed accordingly with four children ; but meeting with bad weather, was, at her own desire, landed again with two of her children, the other two, together with Bon Louis, were drowned when the Manor bUllk. STATE OF IRELAND--intelligence from all quarters confirm the statement we formerly made as to the returning, we might say indeed the re turned, tranquillity of the country. Letters, we understand, have been received from the first au thorities, confirming the statement we have al ready made.--(Dublin Evening Post.) SINGULAR LEGAL QUESTION.---All interesting law-suit is at this moment carrying on at Paris. The city had sold a house on condition of its be ing pulled down within a certain time, retaining the property of the ground. The workmen em ployed in pulling it down found a treasure con cealed in one of the walls. The city now claims this treasure, because it has never ceased to be the proprietor of the ground ; while the pur chaser asserts his right, as the treasure Watnot found below the surface, but in the wall bought by him. The bricklayer, too, pretends that it is his, because he found it; and as if this were not enough, the administrators of the domains come forward and affirm, that none of these three parties have any title whatever. As the coins discovered are ancient, and as the building be fore the Revolution belonged to convent, it, is very likely that the whole will be declared the property of the State. The Judges will find it difficult to make peace between these four con tending powers. A Philadelphia Paper relates the following laughable occurrence :—A prisoner at the her at the Mayor's Court in that city, being called on to plead to an indictment for larceny, was told by the Clerk to hold up his right hand. The man immediately held up his left had ; " Hold up your right hand," said the Clerk. " Plase your honour," said the culprit, still keeping his left hand up, " phase your honour, I am left handed." About eleven o'clock on Monday night a young man thet with a sudden death at Barthead. • A bailer for a steam-engine, weighing about nine tons, was on the way to Kilmarnock, and when passing Barrhead, one of the wheela unfortunately came off, which brought down the end of the ear.. rime. The young man was stated on the tbre part of the e a r_ riage, and just as ho had fallen to the ground,it came down upon him, and crushed him to death on the spot. Ile belonged to Bridge of Weir, was about 10 years of age, and was tut ap prentice to the engineer business.--((:laVOW Chronicle.) On Saturday evening, between nine and tett o'clock, an old woman of the name of Bailey, residing i n Faulkner's.court, Sc. George's-market, London-road, d ro pp e d down in a fit in Union - s t r eet, in t he B o r o ugh, whither sh e had been to purchase her Sunday's dinner. sh e was (timely conveyed Inane in a state of insensibility, where she ire.. 'dandy expired. Yesterday morning a short stout man, in a round frock, attracted considerable n o ti ce at Peckham Fair, by giving away to the cr ow d li tt l e paper pill-boxes, which when opened wer e f oun d to contain neither pills Anti-bilious nor Ana leptic, but very neatly printed watc h -papers advising them to " return home and read their Bibles, rather than follow such evil Pastimes which would Ultimately consign them to the gal lows." As semi as he had disposed of his wh o le stock he left the fair, but was again seen lit the afternoon, distributing hand-bids of the sam e pious tendency as the watch-papers. F
