NEW ORLEANS MARKET.-JUNE 2. s Our prices of Cotton are, as nearly as possible, the same as we quoted at the beginning of May, viz., ordinary Orleans, 10 to 104 cents ; middling, 11 a 114-; fair, 12f a 13 ; good fair, 13+ a 14; good, 141 a 15. Mixed lots of Alabamas, averaging between middling and fair, sell from 111 to 11 cents. Comparing our exports up to t h e 31st of May with our exports of the whole of last season, we find there is already an excess of about 8,800 bales to Great Britain; 4,400 bales to France; 3,800 bales to the rest of Europe; and there are vessels now lading, which will clear within the next fortnight or three weeks with about 24,000 bales to Great Britain and 8,000 to France. Freights are dull at aid. for Liverpool, and 1 to I+ cent. for Havre. JUNE 3.-CovroN.--The following sales transpired yester day :-200 bales Alabama, at 12 cents; 160 bales choice Mis sissippi, at 14 cents ; 26 bales ditto at 14-i cents ; 600 bales Louisiana, at 14 cents ; 133 bales Mississippi and Tenes see, 11g. 4th.-COTTON.-The following sales transpired yesterday ; 150 bales Alabama, at 12+ cents : and 387 bales Mississippi, at la cents. sth.-COTTON.-The following were the sales we heard of yesterday :.-70 bales Alabama, at 11+ cents ; 80 bales ditto at 121 cents; 43 bales Louisiana, at 14 cents; and 38 bales ditto at 13 cents. 7 th.-COTTON.-Arrived since ttie 30th ult., of Louisiana and Mississippi, 1,930 bales ; ; Tennessee and North Alabama, 1 ,680-together, 3,610 bales.

Our quotations for neither description of Cot tons have been altered this week.. The transactions this week have been at a decline of about cent. on the previous week's sales. The result of the operations have been the transfer of about 7,000 bales, of which we give the particulars of the fol lowing, viz. :-Of Louisiana and Mississippi, 100 bales at 131 cents, 31 at 114-, 24 at 12k, 100 at 144, 26 at 11i, 600 at 14, 387 at 13, 43 at 14, 38 at 13, 102 at 11k, 200 at 13, 130 at 11.

CHARLESTON MARKETS, JUNE 14. COTTON. - A steady demand for Uplands has existed throughout the week, at prices similar to those prevailing at the time our last review -was made up ; and the sales have been large. Accounts from Liverpool to the Ist of May were received on Saturday last, by the steam-packet Virginia. The market at that, place appeared to be about the same as at our previous advices. We can only account for the extent of the transactions of the present week here, by the anxiety of purchasers to close their orders at this advanced state of the season, and the limited supply on hand. The sales in all amount to 5,726 bales, of which the following are the particu lars :-17 bales at 9 cents, 47 at 10, 58 at 10f, 32 at 104, 60 at 10i, 383 at 11, 385 at 11 f, 366 at 114, 795 at 12, 211 at 12+, 375 at 12i, 86 at 131, 1,031 at 12f, 138 at 12k, 592 at 124, 512 at 13, 45 at in, 325 at 13+, 228 at 13k. In Long Cottons we have had another very dull week, and no sales of any amount can be noted. We continue to quote last week's prices for all descriptions. Sea Island and Maine, common to good, 26 to 29 cents ; fine, 30 to 35 ; and extra fine, up wards ; Short Staple, inferior, 9+ to 104 ; middling to fair, 11 to 114 ; fair to good fair, 14 to 114 ; good to prime, 12 to 12k; choice, 12* to 13k.

BARON BEURTELOUP, SURGEON 18, Holles-street, Cavendish-square London,J uly 15, 1834. THE BARON HEURTELPhaving announced t o & the Provisional Committee, that his ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF SUSSEX had condescended to allow the pub lication of his letter to the Baron, granting the sanction of his name as PATRON to this Institution, the Provisional Committee beg leaye accordingly to communicate his Royal Highness's letter for the information of the public. To BARON HEURTELOUP. Sir,—The great importance of the object you have in view has induced me, as a duty I owe to the public, to institute very minute inquiries into the real merit and utility of your invention, before I could consent to your request that my name may be inserted as Patron of the Lithotriptick Hospital. lam much gratified in stat ing that the result of those investigations is highly satisfactory. I have received the personal testimony of some of the most eminent surgeons of this metropolis as to their opinion of the value of the new method of alleviating one of the most dreadful afflictions to which humanity is liable, both as regards the disorder itself, and the painful and hazardous operation which alone has hitherto af forded any rational hope of perfect and permanent cure. This opinion is, I am happy to say, amply confirmed by the certificates which you have shown me from several of the most distinguished surgeons in London, as well as by the testimonials which the pro fessional gentlemen of the Hospitals of Greenwich and Chelsea have given you, and likewise by the approbation communicated to you from the medical officers of the public establishments of Not tingham and Derby, to which latter I have paid particular atten tion, on account of the prevalence of that unfortunate complaint in those counties. Thus armed, I feel myself justified, and have great pleasure in becoming Patron of the Lithotriptick Hospital ; and with my warmest wishes for its prosperity, and that you may live to see it become the basis of a new,and important school, I ain, Sir, With consideration, your well-wisher, &c.

Yesterday (Sunday) was the scene of a most serious riot, when several persons were seriously wounded, and many more slightly. Contrary to all former custom, the Orange men of this and neighbouring towns did not assemble on the 12th of July, but arranged that this party procession should take place yesterday, and proceed in a body to Hulme Church to hear a sermon. Why this departure from the usual day for such a procession does not appear. Yesterday (Sunday) however, as early as nine o'clock, the various lodges from Bury, Oldham, Bolton, &c., had ar rived ; but before they had concentrated with the Man chester, a most serious riot took place in the vicinity of New-cross, a neighbourhood occupied chiefly by the Irish. There is reason to think that the Orangemen were armed ; some, indeed, in the procession, as the officers, were noto riously so, with swords, and others of them with pistols. It is but just, however, to say, that the Catholics gave the first cause of offence, and were also the first to attack ; they first began to hiss, then throw stones, and then to tie to the top of a lamp-post a green ribbon. This, of course, was soon seen in company with an orange one. The colours of the two parties being thus nailed to the mast, was the signal of attack, when a desperate riot ensued. Stones and brick-bats were thrown, and sticks, bludgeons, and sword s , use d i n a b un d ance. S ome f ew fi re -arms were discharged, but as they took no effect, it is supposed that they were only loaded with blank cartridge. There were, however s evera l most ser i ous l y woun d e d , o f one of whom there were no hopes of recovery till this morning, he hav ing received no less than six or eight cuts on the head, and one on his leg. The authorities called in the military, but too late to render any assistance, the rioters having dis persed, or nearly so, before they arrived. Thirteen, how ever, were secured, and taken to the New Bailey. Grid excitation was p ro d uce d b y this affair, which lasted all OP day, in consequence of the lodges going to Hulme Church in the afternoon ; on the return of which another affray took place near the lodges' rendezvous, the Fox Tavern. Fortunately at the moment, three military officers on horse back were passing, who speedily put an .end to the conflict, but not before some were wounded, and one desperately. Is there no law to prevent fooleries like these from thus parading, especially on a Sunday ? if not, there ought to be COURT FOR THE RELIEF OF INSOLVENT DEBTORS. The matters of the Petitions and Schedules of the Prisoners herein after named (the same having been Sled in the Court) are appointed to be heard at the Court.house, in Portugal-street, Lincoln's Inn fields, on Tuesday, the 22d of July, 1834, at Nine o'clock Id the Forenoon.

A Court of Alderman was held yesterday, at which the Lord Mayor, 16 Aldermen. the Sheriffs, and city officers were present. Alexander Raphael, Esq., and John Midge, Esq., the Sheriffs elect, entered into the usual bonds to take upon themselves that office. The Inquest of St. Bride's pre sented a serious nuisance at Whitefriars dock by the great ac cumulation of filth, rubbish, and decayed vegetables, brought there from Covent-garden market, upon which the Court re ferred it to the Alderman of thefWard to give such directions as he might see fit. EXTRAOItDINARY SUICIDE.—A. suicide, extra ordinary from its cause, and the perseverance with which it was persisted in, took place at Valenciennes. A young man named Hector apprentice to an apothecary, took it into his head that he never should succeed in learning his business, though, in the opinion of others, he showed no com mon talent, having written a treatise upon lodine, approved of by Caventon. This sinister idea had so fatal an influence on his mind that, on the 28th of June, 1833, he took a large dose of arsenic, from the effects of which he was saved by powerful antidotes. On the anniversary of this attempt, the 28th of June, 1834, he took a quantity of prussic acid, which deprived him of all appearance of life for some time, and from the re sults of which he with great difficulty recovered. However, still determined on putting an end to his existence, he, on the 2d of this month, quitted Valenciennes towards nightfall, and at a little distance from the gates, shot himself through the heart. Two letters were found on his person addressed to his parents and his employer, in which he stated that his sole rea son for committing suicide was the conviction that he could never become a good apothecary.-- Oxford Conservative. UPWARD Sof T WENTY PER S ONS WOUNDED. On Saturday evening, about eight o'clock, as three of the 6th Dragoon Guards, one corporal and two -privaos, grossly intoxicated, were passing along Deansgate, one of them, without ceremony, approached a woman and threw his arms around her neck. Her husband, who was accom panying her to market, of course resented this liberty, but only in seriously remonstrating with the fellow for his dis graceful conduct. This interference of the insulted hus band could not be endured, it would seem, for another of the party took up the dispute by calling the husband a de serter, on which the third soldier then actually seized him, when these two, with drawn swords, compelled the poor fellow to move on in the direction of the barracks. This conduct soon brought an immense concourse of people to gether, and the shopkeepers, apprehending a riot, by which life or their property would be endangered, sent off quickly to the lockups for Daggatt, the police officer, who, fortu nately, had heard of the affray, and was soon on the spot. On his arrival he mildly accosted the military, by asking what the man in their custody had done, and whether they considered him as their prisoner ? The corporal on this approached Daggett in a menacing way, with his sword drawn, and swore he would rip him up if he further meddled in the matter. The other two also stood over him with drawn swords, and threatened to Cut him in pieces for his insolence. Daggatt, however, continued cool, and begged' them to recollect that he was an offi cer charged with' the preservation of the peace, and if you, a dd e d h e t o th e so ldi ers, want any assistance in a right cause, you shall have it. To this they all replied, we don't care what you are, or who you are. They were now assured that they would hear further of this matter. On this they all brandished their swords at Daggatt, and one of them aimed a blow at him, which, although he dex terously avoided, unfortunately lit on a lad's head and wounded him most severely. Daggatt finding he was not a match for three drunken madmen, made his way to the barracks for assistance, taking the lad who had been wounded with him, and stated to the officer on guard the. serious nature of the outrage, and - after placing the poor lad in the officer's care, who promised him immediate sur gical help, Daggatt returned. On his way back he met the three discirderlies literally clea r i ng t h e streets with their swords, and with which they wounded upwards of twenty persons. On coming again into contact with them, one of the military ruffians said, " If you don't leave off following us we will rip up your entrails." 'Daggatt on this, and who possessed more than ordinary courage, proposed to the crowd to'seize them at all risks. This was agreed to ; Dag gatt laid hold of one by the arms, two or three persons seized another, whilst the third, in the act of escaping, was seized by an artillery officer, attracted there by the distur bance. The-officer fortunately saw th e m i sconduct of h i s prisoner, and took him off to the guard-house, which, for tunately, was close at hand. Daggatt took the other two to the lock-up. They will be brought up to-day or to-mor row, although the sessions are now on: The Grand Jury is discharged, so that the culprits will probably have six weeks in gaol to reflect on their conduct. These ruffians were so indiscriminate in their attacks, that they cut a poor lad, only about twelve years of age, no less than three times in the shoulder. The people behaved very well to Daggat' and repeatedly begged him not to risk his life in so unequa a contest. EAST INDIES. ESTATE OF ALEXANDER AND CO.

(From the New York Papers of the 25th ult.) "REPORT of the SECRETARY of the TREASURY. " Treasury Department, June 16. " Sir,—ln compliance with the resolutions of the Senate of the 7th of May last, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to report as soon as practicable to the Senate the amount of duties received and accrued on foreign imports during the first quarter of the year 1834, with a table showing the comparative amount of that quarter, and the corresponding quarter of the year 1833, and distinguishing between the amounts accrued or received'at each port ;' also, whether anything has happened since his annual re port was made at the commencement of the present session of Congress, to vary in his opinion the estimate contained in the said report of the proceeds of the duties on foreign im ports for the year 1834 ;' I herewith transmit the statement required by the first resolution above-mentioned, by which it appears that the duties which accrued from customs in the first quarter of 1833, amounted to the sum of 5,789,114 dollars 87 c., and in the corresponding quarter of ,1834, to the sum of 6,344,540 dollars, 40 c., and that the actual receipts into the . Treasury from the same source in the for mer quarter amounted to 6,966,437 dollars, 09 c., and in the latter to 4,435,386 dollars, 13 c. A few of the minor ports have not been heard from, but they cannot materially vary the result. " In answer to the second ' 4 resolution; .1 have the , honour to state, that estimating the duties on, foreign imports in the annual report made at the commencement of the present session, it was assumed as the basis of the estimate, that the imports of the present year would be nearly equal to those of 1832. This estimate was higher than the average im ports of the five or six preceding years ; but, as stated in that report, it was considered as a safe one ; because, al though the imports of 1831 and 1832 had been unusually large, those of 1833 had gone still higher, and the general state of commerce and the situation of the country justified the belief that there would be no serious diminution in the present year. " From the comparative statement of the amount of duties which accrued in the first quarter of the present year and the corresponding quarter of 1833, it appears that the amount of foreign imports in the first quarter of 1834 must must have exceeded that of the corresponding quarter in the preceding year. Several articles which form important items in our ordinary imports, and paid duty in the first quarter of 1833, were free from duty in the first quarter of 1834, and the rate of duty was reduced on others ; and the difference between the amount of duty which accrued in these two quarters would have been greater if the impor tations in the latter had not exceeded those of theformer. " In some instances, without doubt, importations, which in the ordinary course of our foreign trade would have been made in the last quarter of 1833, were delayed until the first quarter of the present year, in order to obtain the be nefit of the reduced tariff, which took offect on the Ist of January last, and this circumstance has enlarged in some degree the imports of the first quarter of 1834. But after making the due allowance for the increase which may have arisen from this cause, and which would be peculiar to the first quarter of the year, the amount of duties which accrued in the first quarter are sufficient to show that the imports of the present year will most probably exceed the amount at which they were estimated in the annual report, and be fully equal to those of 1833, which were unusually large. If this expectation should be realized, the proceeds of the customs will exceed the amount at which they were esti mated by more than 1,000,000 dols. The difference in the comparative receipts of the two first quarters, as shown by the statement herewith transmitted, does not arise from any fluctuation in commerce or diminished imPortations, but is chiefly occasioned by the alterations in the times of payment introduced by the act of 14th of July, 1832. " The receipts of the first quarter, and the bonds already taken, confirmed the opinion that the income from customs will be greater than the estimate presented at the com mencement of the session. The actual receipts into the treasury from customs for the first quarter of the present year amounted to the, sum of 4,435,386 dols. 13 cents. ; and the duties secured by, bonds payable in the second quarter amount to the sum of 4,003,368 dols. 17 cents. After making a fair deduction from these amounts for re turn duties, which may yet be called for, and for debentures and expenses of collecting, the net income of these two , quarters may be safely estimated at 7,500,000 dols. And if the third and fourth quarters should be only equally pro ductive with the two first, the receipts will equal the amount at which' they were estimated in the annual report. But under our present system of duties, the receipts from cus toms in the ordinary course of commerce will always be greater in the two last quarters of the year than in the two first. The woollen goods, which form so large a portion of our imports, are for the most part brought into the country in the third and fourth quarters of the year. The high du ties with which they are charged render them a very pro ductive source of revenue ; and being now payable in cash, they enter into the receipts of the third and fourth quarters in which the goods are imported; The receipts of these two quarters of the year will, therefore, generally exceed those of the two preceding ones by at least 1,000,000 dols. • " Although not embraced in the resolution, it will no doubt be gratifying to the Senate to learn that the receipts from lands are equally encouraging, and will more than equal the amount at which they were estimated. The re ceipts into the Tresury from this source, during the first quarter of the present year, amount to the sum of 1,398,206 dols. 18 cents, while in the corresponding quar ter of 1833 they amounted to only 668,526 dols. 66 cents ; and from the returns already received for the present quar ter, the receipts of the two first quarters of this year from lands may be safely estimated at more than 2,000,000 dols. In the annual report the receipts of the whole year. were estimated at 3,000,000 dols. The information above stated shows that the anticipated income from this source, as well as from the customs, will be more than realized. " Upon the whole, the inforniation received since the annual report on the finances was made to Congress•affords satisfactory evidence- that the extent of our foreign com merce has been fully sustained, and gives strong reasons for believing that the receiptsinto the Treasiiry during the present, year will- be greater than the amount at which they were estimated at the commencement of the present session., " But I beg leave to repoit what I have already said in the annual report from this department, that as the receipts of each year, under the present system of short credit and cash duties, must mainly depend on its own importations, as the estimates for the year can never be made with as much certainty as under the former system, when the receipts chiefly depended on the duties which had accrued in pre ceding years, and which were ascertained and .secured secured by bonds before the time the estimates were presented ; and as all calculations on the amount of revenue hereafter to accrue must be more or less uncertain, and are liable to be affected by unforeseen contingencies, it would hardly be proper to appropriate on a scale of expenditure fully equal to the expected income. There is, however, no reason for apprehending that the resources of the present year can fall short of the estimate contained in the annual report ; and it is believed that appropriations may be made with entire safety according to that estimate. " I have the honour to be, Sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, "R. B. TANEY, • " Secretary of the Treasury. " Hon. Martin Van Buren, Vice-President United States . " and President of the Senate."

" EARTHQUAKE AT SANTA MARTHA. —The brig Me dina, Captain Spencer, from Rio Hache, New. Granada, brings intelligence of an earthquake which happened at Santa Martha on the 22d ultimo, and was continued in successive shocks through the three ,follaving days. The violence of the earthquake was so great as to destroy the principal buildings of the city. The first shock was the most severe, and lasted th ree - quarters o f a minute. In the course of the four days 60 distinct. sho6ks were experienced. The earth cracked in fissures of six inches in width, and in some places water, hot and sulphurous, was ejected through the openings. No lives were lost, and few persons injured. The city, at the date of the accounts, had been entirely de serted by the inhabitants. The first shock was sensibly felt at Rio Hache, and fears were entertained that Carthagena may have suffered severely from the. convulsion." On the morning of the 11th instant, a melancholy accident occurred at the factory of Mr. Rawlings, of Chippen. ham. George White, a lad about 14 years old, was putting on his frock to go to breakfast; and while in the act of so doing, a part of it caught in the shaft, the velocity of which drew him round, nearly severing his head from his body. He was immediately extricated by some workmen on the spot, but the vital spark had fled.—Salisbury Ijeraid. (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) The Moniteur contains an Official Report, addressed to the King by the Minister of Commerce, on the subject of the bounties allowed on the exportation of refined sugars. In this report the Minister states, that by the law of 1833, the bounties on the exportation of refined sugar were to be considered as nothing more than a refunding of the duties paid on the importation of the raw material. The only question, then, to be decided was, to ascertain the precise quantity of refined sugar that could be extracted from a given quantity of the raw material. The proportion had been calculated at 70 per cent., i. e. that every hundred kilogrammes of raw sugar returned to the manufacturers 70 kilogrammes of refined sugar. The report goes on to state that, considering the great improvements that have of We years been made in the process of refining sugar, it was sup posed that this proportion was too small, and after a series of experiments and calculations made under the direction of the Minister and the Superior Council of Commerce, aided by several skilful refiners and eminent chemists, the pro-. portion between the raw material and the refined sugar was recommended to be raised from 70 to 75 per cent. Moreover (continues the report), there is no longer any danger of a return to those abuses which rendered the bounties on sugar a real financial sore. Since the promulgation of the law of the 26th of April, 1833, up to this day, the exportation of refined sugars amounts only to about 1,200,000 kilogrammes, and the bounties to 1,600,000 fr. The report next refers to the importation of Muscovado sugar, permission to import which was granted, at least in principle, by the last law of finance. The Report proposes to establish, with regard to Muscovado sugars, the same proportion as that intended to be established between the raw sugars now used by refiners and the refined product—namely, 75 per cent., the only dif ference to be observed being that this new proportion will be immediately applied to Muscovado sugars not imported previously to the establishment of the sugar bounties, but shall not affect raw sugars until the Ist of November next. The report thus concludes :—" The admission of Mum- , vados will greatly facilitate our trade with the Brazils, and it is particularly under this point of view that the measure appears to me advantageous."—[Here follows a Royal Or donnance sanctioning the modifications proposed by the Minister of Commerce.]. Another Report, addressed by the Minister of Com merce to the King, relates to the abolition of the prohibi tion of certain products of Asia, Africa, and America, coming from English ports • which is followed by a R o y a l Ordonnance, sanc ti on i ng die views of the Minister. This Ordonnance authorises the importation for home use, no matter from what ports they may come, of raw silk, un dressed India silk handkerchiefs (foulards), rum, arrack, ratafia, and also of Cachemire shawls, coming from coun— tries out of Europe. This report is followed by a third, from the same Minister to the King, on a proposed ordonnance, authorising a di minution of the duties upon various articles, the principal of which we shall enumerate :—Foreign wool at present pays a duty of 30 per cent. ad valorem, and a minimum is fixed, below which no declaration of value can be received. The minimum is If. per kilogramme for raw wool; 2f for that which has been worked in cold water, and 3f. when it has undergone the same process in hot water. The pro ject enacts that the duty shall be reduced to 20 per cent. and the minimum suppressed. This change to come into opera tion from Ist September next. The bounties on exportation are to be reduced one-third ; but this reduction is not to take effect until Ist January, 1835, in order to allow time to the manufacturers to dispose 'of that part of their stock made from wool which bad paid the whole duty. The duty upon tallow is reduced from 15f. to 12f. the 100 kilog. Raw sulphur, upon which a duty of lf. the .100 kilog. was paid, is now to pay but 25 centimes, and melted but not purified, 75 centimes. Sulphate of iron, or green copperas, 6E per metrical quintal, instead of 40f. The duty upon copper ore is reduced from If. to 10e. Smelted, copper, in bars or sheets, imported in French ships from countries out of Europe, If. ; from the bonding warehouses, 2f. ; and in foreign vessels 4f., instead of 40f. the 100 kilog. Smelted zinc, 50c., instead of sf. the 100 kilog. Prussian blue, instead of 210 f., 150 f. the 100 kilog. Upon raw or dressed hemp, or flax, the duty is reduced one half, and the Minister recommends that no increase of duty should be laid on the spun thread of foreign countries. A consider able diminution is to take place, varying from a third to a half, according to the • employment of foreign or national vessels, in the duties on ivory, mother-of-pearl, caoutchouc, and various dyeing materials used in manufactures. The duty on foreign ornamental timber is considerably reduced. On ebony, three-fourths of the ald duty is struck off ; and on mahogany and other kinds, one half. Nutmegs, instead of a duty of 4f, 12E, and 15f. per kilog., will for the • future pay only if., 2f, 50c., and 4E The duty on -- cloves, cinnamon, and pepper, from Guiana, is reduced one half. Pepper from other places, one third. The duty on watchworks is diminished from 20f. a kilog. to sfr., and that on Chinese paper from 406 fr. to 200 fr., the metrical quintal. The export of building timber is no longer prohibited. These are the principal articles of the ta riff of duties affected by the Royal Ordonnance. The Report then proceeds to state that several questions of great import ance remain to be decided upon by the Chamber of Deputies in the next Session, when a Bill to that effect will be pre sented to them. Amongst these, continues the Report, is the question relative to the importation of live stock, and the re duction of the duties on foreign coal and iron. With regard to the two latter, involving so many and important interests, the Minister recommends not to legislate by Ordonnance ; but adds that the ameliorations called for on these points are only adjourned for a few months, as the Bill on the Cus toms will be ready by the commencement of 'the Session, and may be immediately laid before the Chamber. The Minister proceeds to say, " I ought to point out to your Majesty several reglementary provisions, contained in the project of Ordonnance, the object of which is to give greater facilities to our commerce. In order to encourage distant commercial enterprises, the natural pro ducts of China, Cochin China, the Philippine and Sunda Islands, shall be entitled to a reduction of one-fifth of the established duties. On the payment of the mere droit de balance, French steam-vessels are authorised to make use of foreign coal ; cast iron, a less quantity of which than, 400 kilogrammes was not hitherto allowed to be imported, may now be admitted in quantities as small as 25kilogram mes. Several bureaux shall be opened for the purposes of transit. Bonding warehouses are to be established in the town of Agde ,and Toulon. Permission has been given for - - the establishment of a bonding warehouse in Strasbourg, and a transit by Alsace."--(Here follows the Royal Or donnance • referred to in this report, which fills several columns • of the Moniteur, and to which, from want of space, we must _refer our readers, for further details on the changes made in the tariff of duties.) A most diabolical act of incendiarism was perlie- Wated at Colerne early on Monday morning, the 30thult:, when two ricks of hay containing about 15 tons, and tWo straw-heaps, the p ro p e rty of Mr. Joseph Pi nc hi n, were found to be on fire. Greater damage was expected, as the ricks adjoined the barn and cart-house; and the incendiaries had four stra waggons, one of which was con siderably sheaf-h o l e o f t h e b arn moved towards ow b a u r r d n s t. the so fire m ew took fire fire and communicated to th e roof, part of which falli ng in, set tosome loose straw on the floor; . but the flames fortunately did not rise high enough to `bnrn some straw, in th,e,, air-bole on the other side, adjoining very , extensive pre mises-, which in that case would inevitably have been des troyed. One rick of straw was found uninjure4-notwith standing the whole of the loose straw round about it was consumed. A reward of 2,00/. is offered -f or a discovery of he offender or offenders.—Salisbury Herald. 3e f°r 11; the .1; rah f,i )r Chr lY nes' *o f" be .I ;r ter. J • ; tbe nd t" rO r. o tli tir l ISt', of'
