ANIERICAN PAPERS. New York Papers were received last night to the 2d itist. By the following extract from a New York Paper it would appear that another Loan is shortly to make its appearance on the London Stock Exchange. (float THE NEW VORK PAPERS OF THE 30TH UI.T.) ""LOUISIAITA Lcoax.—Many inquiries having been wade a 4 to the terms of, and parties to this Loan, of which we yes. terday noticed the sale, we have been enabled to furnish the following authentic statement concerning it : " Benjamin Story, Esq., President of the Bank of Louisiana, his sold to Messrs. Prime, Ward, and Sands, of New York, ;400,000 D. of Louisiana State Five per Cent. Bonds, at 98 Per Cent. The purchase has been made for account of capi talists in London, New York, and Boston. These Bonds are guaranteed by the Bank of Louisiana,:which will have a specie Capital of 4,000,000 dollars. - Interest on the Bonds is made Payable at the counting-house of Messrs. T. Wilson and. Co., London, at par. ." From this latter condition, that the interest is to be paid ib London at all times at par, we should think this Stock would command a very considerable advance in that market. The last c Mation of Three per Cent. Consols was 94 ; and the New F ' u r per Cents. 106. The price of a Five per Cent. Stock, tltetet'ore, so well secured as this in question, and of which the 13t eteitis payable without deduction in London, will probably b e i'erY high."

NAIIf.PLACE.—This morning the ceremony of Consecration of the above Church was performed by the Right Rev. BISHOP of LQNDON with eolemn grandeur. At ten o'clock the com pany began to arrive, and were admitted by . tickets, and by eleven the body of the church and the galleries were crowded almost to suffocation. Soon after ten the Bishop arrived, and was met at the great west door by Sir Christopher Robinson, his Chancellor, Archdeacons, and a number of the Clergy. The ceremony of consecration having been performed, the children sang an appropriate anthem. An excellent sermon was after wards delivered by the minister, the Rev. Joseph Hume Spey ; after which the company separated. Amongst the Gentry pre sent we noticed—Archdeacon Cambridge, the Rev. Mr. Bons field, lecturer at Marylebone church; the Rev. Basil IVood, of Bentinek chapel; Sir iVin. Pepys, and Sir Robert Pigott.—A vast number of Ladies and Gentlesien were obliged to return, the church being so crowded. SCARCITY OP WATEII AT TUE LATE FIRES.—A Met ng of the Common Councilmen of the Ward of Farringdon Without was held yesterday morning at the new Inquest House in St. Andrew's Church-yard, Holborn, for the pur pose of instituting an Inquiry as to the alleg e d want of a prompt and isufficient supply of water at the late conflagrations that have occurred in that ward, viz. in Fleet -street, and at Messrs. Wilkinson's on Ludgate-hill. Notice of the intended meet. ing and its object had been given to the Directors of the dif ferent Fire Insurance Offices, and also to the New River Com pany, and several Gentlemen, together with some of the fire men, and the parochial and city officers, were in attendance. A eporter who was in attendance was informed that he could not be allowed to be present. Considering the sagacity by which the present Common Councilmen of the Ward of Farringdim Without are distinguished, and their great importance in so ciety, the public will doubtless be much distressed at being kept in ignorance of their momentous proceedings. The meet ing, however, could not be fairly considered as necessarily of a public nature.--(New Ti ate:.) SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.--During the after noon of Friday last several large birds, apparently of the wild goose species, were seen flying about in the neighbourhood of Wye, one of which alighted about sunset on the sweeps of the windmill adjoining the town, where it was shortly afterwards shot by Mr. Nicholas Cook, of Wye; another was seen to perch upon one of the vanes of the church steeple, where in all probability it would have taken up its abode for the night had it not been shot at by Mr. :mid ling, of the same Place :who imagined he must have severely wounded it, and that it fell at no great distance from the church, but owing to the darkness of th e even i ng h e was una bl e to find it. Various were the conjectures of the inhabitants as to what class this bird should belong, and the prevailh g opinion seemed to be, that it was a species of wildgnose, not noticed by naturalists, until it was shewn by the Oentlentan who shot it, to the Clergyman of the parish, who immediately r emove d t h e i r doubts by asserting that it was no other than the " Corvue Aquaticus, or Cormorant." The dimensions of the bird are as follow :—lts wings, when extended, 4 feet 9 inches ; extre mity of the beak to that of the tail, 3 feet l.inch; and its weight 611bs. It is now in the possession of Mr. Pavis, of Canterbury, to be preserved as a memorial of so remarkable an occurrence.— ( Kentish Gazette.) _ There is a society established by the Students of the University at. Cambridge, called the Union, where•, during the present term, some fine specimens of British eloquence have been heard. PRAED, an Eton man, and one of the principal contributors to the work, called the Etonian, has distinguished himself as a youth of very great promise. We believe he is a son of the banker, in Fleet-street. ANECDOTE.—The husband of the celebrated Madame GEOFFRIN was as remarkable for his dullness as she was for her wit. A wag sent him several times the first volume of the Travels of Father Labat. The worthy man always read the book over again, without discovering the trick.— " How do you like these Travels, Sir ?"---" They are very interesting, but I think the Author is somewhat given to repetition."-1 - 10 read the Dictionary of Bay le with great attention, follow. ing the line with his finger across the double columns. 66 What an excellent work," he said, " if it were only rather less abstruse."—Not withstanding his deplorable deficiency, he was permitted to sit at table, upon condition that he never attempted to join in the conversation. A foreigner, who was a constant visitor at Madame Geoirrin's, one day not seeing the dumb Mon sieur in his place at table as usual, inquired after him.--" What have you done with the poor man whom I always used to see here, and who never spoke a word Oh, that was my hus band ; he is dead !" ....• , ~ t CI( - ) .4• ,(N . ‘ .4. ...v1Y.,7 7 ,tr, ..,,, ~, t.e.-` 44,Aprk,,,,. ~.. ~6 1 4,..' -.

A brig and a schooner were seen off the Manacles about half an hour before the gale commenced. We have not as yet heard of any vessels being on shore in the Cross Channel, where there are about 20 of the outward-bound at anchor; but we fear great injury will be done along the Coast.

'WEYMOUTH, Nov. 23.—We have had as violent a gale of wind blowing from the westward as the oldest inhabitant ever remembers. The estimate of inishief done in Weymouth alone is 20,000/. T he . fine Parade, faced with Portland stone, in . n l 7/ of le w ve h l ic w h itl i t t tte a :et r a n n te d d is ha a m ve itas hee o n f mud: foreed 110 1arheg f l e el e r t bg d leo i s cn t k a lsa n t t eisP . into the areas of the houses, many of the latter and extends fo r exact l y 3 quarters of a mile, scarcely a s have two or three feet w a t er i n the kitchens. The Paradehere is : r eit remains; but wh at i s still Inure important to the c i i a rc t i n il safety of the town, the artificial Jetty, composed of large rock atones, to protect the Bay and Esplanade from the fury of the south-east gales, is now no more to be seen ;—in con sequence, should the wind, w i t h the present tremendously high sea, shift to the eastward, Weymouth must become a wreck of bricks and mud. I had a friend knocked down by a wave (whilst endeavouring to save his horses) al tthwooughu n d h r e e w d a t s ee t be fr h o i nind the ro u s w u 3 1 1 4 1 i t : 1 1 114(1 0 , f a ti n ie d s d e ttan l t h at av l e ea t s o t relate a melancholy event. A man very much respected, and who has for years farmed the ferry that communicates bestrided upon him, w as was h e d away. between this and Portland, i n en d eavouring to save a trooper horse, The Rev. Mr. Richmond and his wife, at Dorchester, are both killed by the falling of a stack of chimney s . ' Th e Regulator, Weymouth coach is now lying in the Downs, having been twice overturned. Several of the wrecks of the bathing machines are strewed about on the steps of the houses in the Terrace and at Belvidere.— Many of the houses at the upper part of the town have men employed with buckets, bailing out the sea water; and had not the wind shifted at about five in the morning from E.S.E., I have but little doubt the mischief done would have been dread ful to houses anti inhabitants; the barrier being broken down, the inroads of the ocean must have carried every thing before it, had the wind not gone round to the W.S.W., which is behind Weymouth, and instantly blowing against the Bay and British Channel. A Dutch galliot came on Shore near Sandsfoot Castle ; crew saved, but vessel a complete wreck. .A sloop of N tons burthen is thrown high and d r y upon the Chiasel Bunk, which itself is 00 or 70 feet above the common height of the sea. As we have no communication with Portland, it is impossible to say what mischief has been clone there. It is reported that the Pebble Bank at Cllissel, mentioned by Camden and Leland, but more particularly in Hutchings' "History of Dorsetahire" has given way. 1 shall only at present observe, that this most extraor dinary production of nature,the Chissel Bank extends for 14 miles in one continued mighty ridge,a bulwark of loose round pebbles, gradually increasing in size to the top, which is rather concave ; the height may be (from the sea) from iis to 70 feet, breadth at the base about 300 feet, at the top about 10. (I write in a hurry, and under some little degree of agitation, and have no books of reference.) Should this singular and siuuendous na tural barrier give way (which is positively said to be the case) all the low lands must be deluged, and every living and inanimate thing swept before the irresistible fury of the awful ocean. I can only say that I saw a body of water break ing over, and I think through it, Or its continuity and size, made it clear to me that it was not a wave or the spray of the sea; but when I inform you that unless the spectator was un der the lee of a wall he could not face, the wind, and that it was very hazy besides, I trust I am deceived in reporting the awful v e ent of the Chissel Bank having given way. Two persons ar e known to have been drowned on the beach between this and Preston. Many of the windows and doors of the houses have been driven in by the waves. I have just returned from the leTrehethevettacal;ims calamity town, a tremendous sea running . . the bay, and a melanc . noly spectacle; shops are all shut, chimneys the public hig h way. Some tamales getting out down, roofs o f v s e o r ti, of the 'town, with all haste, for Dorchester; and should the Portland will end. wind get to the eastward, or even the gale continue, God in :toads have for the moat part drifted, but it is impossible to ascertain what accidents have occurred or will occur during the Iltlranarceinout gr a cious mercy cy ass o i n s l t y th k e no t w o s wn w ! night. A vessel is in a distant part of the bay with her two masts cut away and driving, and a smaller o ne i s i n the haze in the same critical state. t he Ilinclunbrook packet is riding hard, and a schooner gone down, al l , . hands lost. Thi rty houses (A and sonic families swept away at twell, Portland. DISTRESSING CATASTROPHE. (Extract of a private letter, dated Dorchester, Nov. 23.) " Last niOn: tins town was visited with a tremendous gale from the S.W., which for several hours continued to increase, till the most violent hurricane prevailed ever remembered by the oldest inhabitant. Its devastating effects were felt in every oqivachrtiemr,naiesnd, tiladamageandtogillei,licrngea-it'e°T B a e l s a and anxiety titer the in the destructionthe safety o f the roofings,, a ffrghted families. About six ()Mock this morning a heavy stack of chinmies on the hous e of t h e R e v. 11. J. Richman was blown down with a tremendous crash, and falling on the bed of the Rev. Gentleman, crushed him and his amiable wif e b enea th the ruins. Instant al arm w a s g i ven , an d medical attendance promptly obtained; but it was t o o late one common and instantaneous destruction involved them both. Mr. Richman was rector of the Holy Trinity in this town, and had but a few weeks enjoyed the possession of the new church recently erected in that parish. The completion of this building had been long looked forward to by him with anxi ous solicitude; but the many embellishments and improve ments he had contemplated, and which were in progress, he was not permitted to see perfected. He was a man of singular learning and piety, and remarkable for great simplicity of manner and singleness of life, anti during a residence of more than 30 years had secured to himself the regard and confidence of all who knew him. In the 71st year of his age, an awful calamity awaited him, which has overwhelmed - his family and friends with affliction and distress. A Coroner's Jury was summoned, and a verdict recorded of " Accidental Death."_ The effects of the storm are not confined to this town ; and af flicting accounts of the loss of lives and property must be ex pected from along the whole 'coast. Weymouth has suffered very considerably ; a large portion of the Esplanade being completely carried away, and other loss to the estimated amount of several thousand pounds. " A Dutch ship is on shore in the bay, near the Old Castle ; and other vessels in Portland-roads, already dismasted, and otherwise damaged, are expected to share the same fate. Some idea may be formed of the violence of the wind, when it is stated, that the !legislator, Exeter coach, was blown over twice between this town and Salisbury." AWFUL CATASTROPHE.-The ship Maria, Captain M. I; Behn, from London to Hamburgh, was totally lost off Heligo land during the late gales ; 6 passengers and all the crew were drowned. The Captain was on the eve of being married to a young lady, who expected his return at Hamburgh, where she went accompanied by her mother, aged 61l ; the other passen. gers consisted of three ladies and three lierman merchants,. a large inheritance awaited one of them, had he safely reached his native shores; the brother of the Captain, who but a short time since lost the most affectionate of wives,leaves 4 children un. educated and not provided for. Subscriptions have been im mediately entered • into at Hamburgh by the numerous friends of the deceased for the education of his children, whose loss is regretted by every one to whom his excellent character was known—an example most readily followed by his ,liberal coun. trymen in England. CHARGE OF FORGERY. Yesterday a young man named J. Pennal was brought before the LORD MAYOR. charged with hav ing uttered a forged checque on Sir John Peering and Co. for the sum of 261/. 18s. The, prisoner is the same person wh3 about ex weeks ago was brought before Alderman Waithman On suspicion of having forged a checque for 2001. in the name of his former muter, Mr. Williams, tea broker, of Jewry-street, upon th e h ouse of Mr. Williams, of Birchin. lane. In that case the checque was regularly uttered, and the money obtained; but the prisoner was discharged, there being nobody in the banking ]rouse who could identify him. Mr. Oliver Vine, one of the clerks to the firm of Peering and Co. stated, that on Saturday afternoon, about three o'clock, the prisoner came into the b a n k n g -h ouse and presented a checii u e for 261/. 1114., signed with the names of Messrs. Capper and Stevens. Witness had some doubt of the genuineness of the signature; but as the Firm was one of great respectability, he hesitated in questioning it, and entered the checque for the pur pose of going through the proce ss of cas hi ng i t . H e c h ewe d it, however, to another clerk for his opinion, and was told by him that it was all right. Witness then gave the prisoner 260/., but before he gave him the odd money, the clerk who had just given a favourable opinion as to the cheque, suggested that it would be prudent to inquire into its correctness. Witness then asked the prisoner whether he had received the checque from Messrs. Capper. He replied that he had not ; but that he had received it from Mr. Purclie, of the Commercial Sale Rooms. Witness requestett that one of the other clerks would go to Messrs. Capper to make the necessary inquiries on the subject. In a few minutes after the checque had been taken off to Messrs. Capper's house, the prisoner, whom the witness permitted to remain by the counter with t he money in his hand from a feel ing of delicacy, observed that there was something odd about the checque, and that he was out of employment. He proceeded to make some further observations, but the witness did not now remember them accurately. However, he told the prisoner that he might us well give back the money and step into a private room. This the prisoner immediately did. When in the room, apparently as if in continuation of the previous conversation, he said that he was out of place, and had given the porter of the Royal Exchange a shilling to stick up a notice for him for a place; that whilst he was superintending this operation a person of very respectable appearance came up to him, and asked him whether he wanted employment ? that he replied in the affirma tive, and was then taken to the New York it iffee.house by the gentleman, who gave him the cheque, and appointed to wait there until he should return. When the prisoner was asked by witness where he had lived, he replied that he had been in the service of Mr. Williams, of Jewry-street, where something very unpleasant had taken place respecting a checque for 2001., which had been improperly paid by Messrs.Willianis, of Birchin-lane. Witness said he remembered the circumstance. At this moment the clerk who had been sent to Mesirs. Capper returned, with one of the partners of that firm, who in the prisoner's presence declared the signature to be a forgery. The prisoner then urged the necessity of sending somebody to the New York Coffee house, as the person who had given him the checque would en. terutin some suspicions from the lapse of time that had taken place, and probab ly leave the place. He added, that a person who was sitting in the b ox at t h e same t i me cou ld probably cur. roborate his statement if he were sought for in time. The wit. ness did not send any one, or pay immediate attention to this request, but Herdsfield, the officer, was sent for, and lie went with the prisoner to the New York Coffee-house, but no one was found there of the description mentioned by the prisoner. One of the Firm of Capper and Co. came forward to prove the signature to be a forgery, but.._ Mr. IIoSIPURIEs, who attended on behalf of' the prisoner, objected to his evidence on this point, and the objection is held P I reT prisoner was remanded until legal proof of the forgery shall be given. • Mr. fi oIIPHRIES said he expected to account satisfactorily for the prisoner's possession of the cheque. The prisoner was then remanded. ExectrrloN.---This morning the sentence of death was passed into execution upon Joseph Harwood, a lad aged 18, for a highway robbery, attended with circumstances of peculiar atrocity, at the close of the review of cavalry on Houns low Heath, on the 7th July last. A man, by trade a tailor, named Michael Sheen, residing at Barnes, went into a booth for refreshment, and was almost instantly attacked by a gang, who rifled his pockets, tore oil his neckerchief, robbed him of his coat and waiscoat, and beat him in so brutal a manner as to cause serious constitutional injury. This culprit was identified as being most active in this outrage, and was convicted in the September Session. Since his condemnation he has evinced the most apparently sincere contri tion and resignation to his fate. It appeared he had nut formed any other ties more endearing than those transitory ones in his career of crime among women as frail and unfortunate as himself.-- The Sitzturrs, Messrs. Baowx, and Alderman KEY, arrived at the prison a quarter before eight , o'clock, and proceeded to the Press Room, where the wretched youth was engaged in prayer. After being pinioned, he was led to the fatal platform, and at eight o'clock the drop fell, and the world closed on him for ever. The crowd was amazingly great. In consequence of some important communica tions made yesterday to the Secretary of State, respecting the case of Edward Burris, capitally convicted last sessions of highway robbery, it was deemed expedient that the report of his case to the King in Council should be postponed. The following is the exact copy of a direction on a parcel which arrived a tew days since at the Belle Sauvage inn :—Yor Mies Keays, No. 30, Whnrtrea Lane, neear Poatreecareas Hall, Neear Blackfriears, Whith All Speead.—London.

The Dover Mail Coach on its journey from London, was upset near G ree n-street, on Sun day night, owing to the darkness of the night, the horses.having missed the road, and dragged the coach partly on the footpath. There were three passengers, besides the coachman and guard, who all escaped unhurt.--(Kentish Gazette.) COURT OF KING'S DAY.) JUDGMENT. THE,KING V. SAMUEL RUTTIR. The ATToaxxr.GxxauAL prayed judgment of the Court upon this defendant, who was convict ed at the late Guildford Assizes for a gross assault on certain persons, Excise Officers. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE read • the notes of the trial, from which it appeared that the defendant had been subject to a penalty of 501. for evading the Excise Laws, which penalty, however, the Commissioners mitigated to 101. Application was consequently made for the latter sum, when the defendant paid 51. and appointed a time to pay the balance: The officers accordingly went to the defendant on the day specified, when a great crowd was assembled, and the popular cry of common informers raised, by which the officers were grossly assailed by the populace. An affidavit was put in on behalf of the de fendant, which stated that he was an industrious quiet man before this occurrence ; a long impri sonthent would be his ruin, and that he was un able to pay more than 301. Mr. A DOLPHUS also spoke in mitigation. The ATTORNEY-GENEItAL said he should leave the case in the hands of the Court, for them to award such punishment AS the offence de served. Mr. Justice BAYLEY then sentenced the de fendant to pay a fine of 201., to be imprisoned three months in iforsemonger-iane gaol, end enter into sureties for three years ) himge in 801. and two sureties of 401. each SPORTING INTEWGENCE. NEWMARKET COURSING MEETING, 1824. rittsT CIIEVELEY FIELD. TUESDAY—The oldest sporannan at Newmarket can not brit g to recollection a more boisterous and unfavourable coursing day than this has been. Half past 11 o'clock was the time given in the Orders from the Club last night !Or the first couple of dogs for the Cup to be in the Slip at the Furies, Warren Hill ' • the Slipper punctually obey ea l I ns instructions ; anti notwithstanding. the Incessant ruin, accompanied by a perfect hurricane, the as• semblage of sportsmen and others was very numerous, as the Cup for this year excites a very lively interest. A delay in start.. ing the first brace took place in the hope that the rain would abate, but at 12 the tempest being as f urious as ever , i t was deemed useless to keep back any longer, and the sport corn.. menced and continued till nearly dusk, the rain descending in torrents during the whole times During the progress of the day's courses the fir trees in the 'Warren plantations were. heard in every direction eith e r t o split or fall, and it is con. jectured that upwards of on e hundred were actually blown down. Several persons took shelter during the storm in a hut., erected in the plantation as a resting place for jockeys when wasting; and while there, a tree was blown up and fell on the roof of the hut, but happily . only occasioned ra- t then a hasty retreat, without any injury. Horses could scarcely carry their riders, who. experienced equal difficulty in retaining their scats, and many instances occurred of Irani being blown off; anti either totally lost, or occasioning to the owners a disagreeable and unsportsmanlike pursuit at full stretch, for one, two, or three miles; these contingencies were not confined to the Heath, as others of a snore dart_ genius nature took place at Newmarket and it environs, where houses were unroofed, chimneys blown down, and. windows blown in, &c. but fortmittely without loss of:life. Last night the hares were driven out of the plantation at the top of 'Warren Hill, and fires kindled around it to keep them out, agreeable to custom, in order to get them into the furze* for good coursing; but this did not avail, for the inclemency of the night induced the furred tribe to seek a warmer retreat, and have recourse to the hollows, consequently but few atop. ped, and those did not like to move even when the beaters. strove to rouse them for the runs, several being absolutely pushed out of their newly made forms fearful of encountering the weather. On the First Cheveley Field it..rarely.happens that the day is not in favour of the hares, who uniformly make for the planta tion. This was the case today; for in the four courses run from the furzes the betting was chiefly 2 to 1 on the hare ; but when they moved to the ploughed lands, the eourhes were in favour of the dogs. Considering the disadvantages, we could not have expected so numerous and respectable an assemblage; we noticed Lord Dunwich, Admiral Wilson, Messrs. Northey, Sycr, Scott, De Burgh, Redhead, Mure, Wilkinson, Hoskins, Rust, tient, Wright, Buckworth, Dean, Towers, te. It - is with extreme grati fication we add, that Lord Rivera is so far convalescent as to take airings in his close carriage, and had the weather permitted would have been on the ground to-day. The sport was admirable nearly throughout; br the Cup in particular, in which the crack dogs were engaged, and 'on this event we have given a careful and detailed account of each course. The following are particulars:— For • th. Gold Cup. No. 1. Mr. Northers red d. Nectar - . . 1 Mr. Syer's 1. b. . . - . . 2 This was :tolerable good course; Nectar took the lead. the bitch banging upon the hill full ten yards behind, not having a chance—the here made the copice, before which she was turned several times by Nectar, but beat them both in gallant style.

No. 3. Marquis of Huntley's d. d. Vis coun t . I Mr. Redhead's r. d. Lear . . - 2 The hare was again the favourite at 6 to 4, and beat the dogs after a beautifully contested course. No. 4.

Clara - - . - I Lord Rivers' blk. d. Rolla - - - 2 Roila had the best of this course at first, but the hare making a bend near the cover, Clara came in and won cleverly.
