By these means no fraud could at any time be practised ; the price of foreign grain would al. ways be more than equal to the price of English grain, and the fluctuations in the market prices, now so constantly occurring, would be almost en tirely removed, and with it, therefore, all just complaints against the Corn Laws. COMET._ ACCIDENT NARROWLY PREVENTED.) — From a Gentleman who came up from Gourock late last night we learn, that though the attempts to raise the Cornet have hitherto failed, she has nevertheless been moved from her first position. Her stern has been hove completely round, and now lies nearest the shore. The hawser which was fixed to the capstane ashore was hove in five fathoms, so that the distance from the shore, after that operation, was only about thirty feet. About finly . jive people remained on board of the lighters on Monday night, and they were nearly all run down by a large brig which came up in the dark. A dense fog being in the Frith at the time, the brig did not perceive the lights (four or five) which those on board the lighters had out, till almost close upon them. On seeing her, the men raised a loud shout. The helm was im mediately put down, when the brig was enabled to clear them by about six feet ! Had she not answered the helm at once, the lighters and all the people on board must have been sent to the bottom. The chains keep a firm hold on one side, hut in variably give way on the other, which shews that the vessel must on that side be severely shattered.—(G/avow Courier, Nov. 17.) CARIALF..—The following laconic note was exhibited this morning in the front of CARLIE.E'S shop in Fleet-street :—" Watson, I am no longer a prisoner.—Dorchester, Nov. 18." Mr. WARREN, the King's Mescenger, was sent off on Thursday evening from the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs, Downing-street, with dispatches for the Continent, supposed to be for the British Ambassador at Vienna. General MINA arrived at Clifton on Sunday morning last. He is staying on a visit at Captain HEDGEs'.—We are happy to say that his health is very much improved.—(Bath Herald) England produces more wealth than France, Russia, and America, put together. The produce of England is nearly 37 millions stirling, France about 18 millions, Ame rica nearly 11 millions, and Russia between 8 anti 9 millions.— ( Dublin Evening Post.) A SINGULAR STORY iS related in an article from Lucerne, in Switzerland, respecting a murder commit ted about nine years ago. The person assassinated was 31. Keller, a Magistrate of Lucerne. Five persons lately arrested as the perpetrators of the crime have confessed their guilt, and ascribed their act to the instigation of M. Corragioni, Doctor in Medicine, and N. Joseph Peyffer de Ileidigg, at that time Prefect of Lucerne, and both now Members of the Cantonal Government. The Central Commission, charged with the investigation of the affair have demanded the arrest of the two ;Magistrates, and the Council have agreed to it. Those two Magistrates, after a solemn declara tion of their innocence, have solicited the most rigid scrutiny into their conduct. They have been sent to prison, and their papers put under seal. It is proper to mention, that the band of murderers consisted of six, and that the sixth contradicts the statement of the other five. The following is the account given of the death of M. Keller, in a journal of the 20th of September, 1816, some days after it took place lie was returning from the town to his country house, situated near the Reus, when he fell into the river, and perished. His two oldest daughters, who accompanied him, were witnesses of the event. The night had been stormy, the waters were high, anti nothing could save him." The trial has not yet been brought to any result. MU R DER BY PrRATEs.--An account from Bor neo gives the particulars of the murder of several persons by pirates. N. Van GREVE, Resident at Sanabos, having arrived from Java, on board the Thalia, anti being desirous to reach his post as soon as possible, embarked in a small vessel for Sambos. He was accompanied by N. Pelletier, lately arrived from Europe. They sailed on the Ist April, in the evening, and in the morning discovered 8 proas, which they recognized to be pirates. The Captain desired the two Europeans to keep below, that the pirates might not be rendered more desperate by the hopes of a large booty. After an hour's firing, N. Pelle tier was mortally wounded in the cabin. M. Greve then leaped on deck, discharged his two pistols, and then with his arms crossed, awaited his fate, which seemed inevitable. Ile was soon struck by a ball, which put an end to his life, and the distressing situation in which he had been for some hours.— About noon the vessel received a shot between wind and water, and sunk. Four of the crew escaped in the boat to the river of Pentianaka, where they related these melancholy particulars.— Besides the crew there were on board 4 native servants of the Resident, and one of 31. Pelletier,so that no fewer than 16 per sons lost their lives. N. Van Greve, who had gained general esteem by his conduct during three years' residence at Sambos, was generally lamented by the Governor of the west coast of Bormo. He was formerly in the army, and made several cam paigns in Russia and Spain, where he greatly distinguished himself, and had the Cross of the Legion of Honour.—( Dublin Correspondent, Nov. 15.) T HE Wor.srES OF CROATIA.--Letters from Agram, in Croatia, say that the wolves have increased in a dreadful manner in the begining of August, and seem to pur sue the human species rather than cattle. The magistrates of the district have sent about 4000 men with muskets, hay forks, &c., against them ; 50 florins reward are offered for every female wolf, and only . 1 florin for every male; the people searched the woods a long time in vain, at length they made use of the following shocking stratagem :—They sought out an eminence in the wood, on which some children were placed ; marksmen, with loaded muskets, placed themselves in ambush close by. Five wolves appeared from different parts of the forest, and advanced cautiously towards the emi nence ; two of the beasts were shot dead, the others escaped. —( Vienna Paper, Oct. 30.) EXTENSIVE FIRE IN FRANCE.—The frightful fire which has just reduced to ashes a pars of the Commune of Vizille (department of the Isere) began at one in the morning on the 10th instant, in a printing-office attached to 31. Augus tin Perrier's manufactory of coloured cottons. The tempest which prevailed through that disastrous night extended the fire with dreadful rapidity. The chateau belonging to 31. Perrier, and all the manufactory, have fallen a prey to the flames. Forty houses of the town have been entirely consumed, of which num ber twenty-two were but just rebuilt in the quarter, called that of the Chateau de Paine, which only two years ago was burnt down. The engines of Grenoble and a detachment of the gar rison arrived at eight o'clock in the morning, and assisted to confine the ravages of the fire, which they began to subdue on all sides by eleven o'clock. Nobody perished in this conflagra tion, but many of the labourers were wounded. The damage done is estimated at about two millions (of francs). The build ings of the manufactory were insured. The valuable cotton spinning works, with the webs, owe their safety to the wind having blown in an opposite direction, but the loss of the ma nufactory of coloured cottons is immense; it will deprive of employment, during the winter, 1,200 workmen, of whom some were proprietors of the buildings which have been con sumed, to whom remains no source but to implore the cha rity of their fellow citizens. A play has already been per formed for their benefit at the Grenoble Theatre, and a sub scription opened for their relief.—(Etoile of Thursday.) THE RATH, OR BURMESE IMPERIAL STATE CARRIAGE. — We were yesterday gratified with a • private view of this truly magnificent specimen of Oriental splendour and ingenuity. We have not room to dilate on the merits of this grand spec tacle, which will probably be more attractive of public curiosity than even the carriage of the departed Emperor of France. The design is a proof of taste as well as of genius, and the execu tion throughout is admirable. But it is evidently the work of science as well as of taste and genius, and considering how little we knew of the Burmese 'till the late unprovoked intrusion of their Tyrant upon our Asiatic territories, the whole must be viewed with astonishment as well as admiration. THE KING, &C. WINDSOR, Nov. lip.--Yesterday torenoon Sir CHAR LES LoNG took leave of his MAJESTY, and on leaving the Royal Lodge, proceeded to Windsor Castle, where as one of the Com missioners, and attended by Mr. ‘Vyattville, he inspected the whole of the improvements carrying on, after which Sir Charles left the Castle, and proceeded to his seat, Bromley-hill. In the afternoon, on the weather clearing up, his Majesty, with his regular attendants, left the Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton and edjoyed some drives in the Great Park for nearly two hours, when he returned to the Royal Lodge at a quarter before five o'clock. There were no visitors arrived yesterday at the Royal Lodge. Ilis Majesty continues to enjoy excellent health. It is now again strongly rumoured that his - Majesty intends visiting Brighton the latter end of the present month, or the be ginning of the ensuing, but it is mere conjecture, as nothing decisive is yet known relative to his Majesty's intentions.

SUPERSTITION.—Who would have thought that SHERIDAN was superstitions? or Madame STottAcE ? Vet such, we learn from Kelly's Reminiscences, was the fact— Madame Storace fell a sacrifice to superstition. She was taken suddenly ill at Mr. Kelly's, in the presence of a medical gen tleman, who advised her to be bled. The next day Doctor Hooper wished to bleed her, but she refused, because it was Friday ; and, in consequence of the delay, lost her life. " No power," says Mr. Kelly, " could prevail upon Mr. Sheridan to commence any business, or set out upon a journey, on a Friday, nor would he allow, if he could possibly avoid it, a piece to be produced on a Friday." REMARKABLE EXECUTION.--The Franklin Malone Tefri,Proph, an American Paper, gives the following account of the execution of Stephen Videts, for the murder of Mrs. Fanny illosely. The Telemraph says—" That while un der the fatal tree a paper was read at his request, in which he asserted his innocence in the following terms t-4 With regard to the crime for which I this day suffer, I have only to remark, that lam perfectly innocent. By whose hand the unfortunate Fanny Mosely wa. deprived of life, I do not know, but I say it was not mine, neither was I accessary to it, neither was I aware of the approach of that unhappy event, but at the time was fear ful of the designs upon my own life.' A short time after, the rope was fastened to the beam, and thecap drawn over his face, he still persisting in his innocence, the drop tell ; but, unfortu tunately, the knot drew over his chin in such a manner as not entirely to stop his breath, nor the circulation of the vital fluid. In this dreadful situation he struggled for several minutes in the agonies of death. The paper containing his protestations of in nocence he had declared his intention of holding in his right hand when yielding up his life. This paper he changed from his left to his right hand, when he had hung two or three mi nutes, and waved it to the multitude with apparent design." A public meeting of the citizens of Bristol (says the Bristol Gazette of Wednesday, the 16th instant), is to be held on \VednesdaY next, to take into consideration the deplorable calamity which . has occurred in New B runsw i c k , by a desolating fire at Miramichi, with a view to rais e a p u bli c subscription, to alleviate the sufferings of our fellow-subjects on that calamitous occasion. ANECDOTES, &c. REMARKABLE DAT.—This day is remarkable as the anniversary of the birth of King Charles the First, 1600 ; of the Block House at Brighton being washed away and grit damage done by the sea, 1786 ; and of Saint Domingo being sur rendered by the French to the Black Native 'Troops, 1803. VALUE OF MONEY IN ANCIENT TIMES—About the year 900, KING ALFRED left to each of his daughters 1001. in money. In 1221, Joan, eldest daughter to King John, upon her marriage with Alexander, King of Scotland, had a dowry of 1,0001. In 1270, Edward I. gave with his daughter Joan, contracted to the son of the King of the Romans, 10,000 marks sterling, and this to be returned in case the Prince died before her. In 1314, Elizabeth, wife of Robert Bruce, King of Scotland, being imprisoned in England, was allowed, for herself and family, 20s. a week. In 1330, Joan of Oxford, nurse to the Black Prince, had a pension of 101. per annum ; and Aland Plunipton, a rocker, had ten marks. In 1351, work. men were to take their wages in wheat, at 10d. the bushel; a master carpenter, mason, or tyler, was to be allowed at the rate of 3d. a day ; their journeymen 2d., and boys lid In 1402, the salary of the Lord Chief Justice of the king's Bench was 40/. a year. In 1408, the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas hail 55 marks per annum. In 1545, the Chief Justice of the King's Bench had an addition of 30!. made to his salary, and the Justices of 20/. CoLLEY CHIBUIt gives the following spirited de. scription of a famous theatrical manager in his day:—" That he was as sly a tyrant as ever was at the head of a theatre; for he gave the actors more liberty, and fewer days' pay, than any of his predecessors ; he would laugh with them over a bottle, and trick them in their bargains ; he kept them poor, tkat they might not be able to rebel; and sometimes merry, that they might not think of it." The EMPEROR GALBA having condemned a Ro man citizen to the punishment ofcrucifixion forpoisoninghis ward, the gentleman in his way to the place of execution made grievous complaint that a citizen of Rome should undergo such a servile death, alleging the laws to the contrary. The Emperor, hear ing his complaint, promised to alleviate the shame of his sen tence, and ordered a cross much larger and more neat than or dinary to be erected, and to be painted white, that the gentle man who stood so much upon his quality might have the honour to be crucified in state. Something like this delicacy appeared in Lord Stourton, who having, in the reign of Queen Mary, killed a gentleman and his son at his own table, and thereby forfeited the usual favour of being beheaded, petitioned that he might be hanged in a silken halter; but when his friends pressed for his burial in Salisbury Cathedral, the good Bishop would not allow it, unless the silken halter was placed over his tomb as a monument of his crime ; and for years a wire, instead of a halter, marked the spot, and probably remains there to this day. LORD CLARENDON mentions a very extraor dinary regard to the honour of Nobility in King Charles the First, when that untOrtunate 11Ionarch was at York, in the beginning of the civil war. " Some of his courtiers applied to him to grant the patent of a Baron to a rich man, who was willing to give 10,0001. for it, but the King refused to grant it, although at the same time he wanted money to furnish his table, because (says Lord Clarendon) the man was not worthy of it." SPORTING. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE. ROYAL HUNT.—On Tuesday the King's huntsman and hounds, together with a cart, in which was a fine deer, left Windsor Forest to proceed 20 miles from the kennel, to be in readiness for the ensuing day's diversion. Prince's Risborough, which is 28 miles distant, was the place fixed on for the deer to be turned out. At the appointed hour on Wednesday morn ing, a numerous field of sportsmen, of whom a large pro portion was gentlemen farmers, assembled to partake of the day's sport. The deer showed great sport at starting, not running many miles a-head, but making a number of doubles. There was much hard running; and the animal was at last overtaken, after a chase of two hours.—Mr. Davis the King's huntsman, was the only person up at the time, all the other sportsmen being knocked up. The deer was killed by the dogs. MEETINGS OF HOUNDS IN THE ENSUING WEEE. His Majesty's Stag Hounds, on Monday, at King's Beech Hill ; Friday, at Virginia Water. H.

Last week a Batten was given by John Th orp , E sq. o f Chi p _ penham Park, to their Royal Highnesses the Duke of York and Prince Leopold, the Duke of Rutland, Marquis of Graham, lion. George Anson, C. Greville, Esq., and Sir Edward Cod rington. The party only begun shming at one o'clock, and left off soon after four. The Duke of 1 ork shot remarkably well, having killed to his own gun 68 pheasants, 17 hares, 9 rabbits, 1 w oodcock, anti a wed-duck. In count i ng t h e game killed and wounded, birds, &c. brought home at the end of the day, it was found there were 178 pheasants, 76 of which were red and white, and in all upwards of 300 head of game. We believe this is the only gemleman's scat in England where there is so beautiful a variety of pheasants. LONGEVITY.-There is now living in Wake Forest, N. C., a man named Arthur Wall, one hundred and four years of age. His eldest son is 82 years old, and his youngest '2O. Be is a native of Northampton County, of that State.—(Anicrican Paper. THE THEATRE. DRURY.LANE.—The whimsical farce of Love, Law, and Physic, written by Mr. KENNY, ens of the most successful of living Dramatists, was represented last night, for the purpose of intro ducing a Mr. PARRY in the part of Lubin Log, a part written purposely for Mr. LISTON, and whose ludicrous personation of which defies rivalry. Mr. PARRY, of whom we never heard before, posses sed, we presume,sufficient provincial popularity to attract the attention of the Drury-Lane manage ment. He has evidently formed his representation of Lubin Log, upon the manner of the Great Ori ginal, not the Great Unknown, but that Great, Well-known prop of modern Comedy, Mr. LISTON. ,t„,, Mr. PARRY may have something of congenial ridorty: humour, but at present, his acting appears too lil. studious imitation. Still, however, he displayed - "-wn' humour, and a jest conception of the whimsical i f., part which he assumed, and he had no reason to be discontented with the reception which he experienced. HARTLEY'S Flexible had all the bustle and active loco-motion which distinguish this lively actor, and KNIGHT, though by no means recovered, was diverting in the quaint part of Andrew. The farce went off very welt altogether. SURREY THEATRE.—Last night's Entertain ments were for the benefit of Mr. ERSEINE and his excellent band. The Orchestra was doubled, and a delightful treat commenced with MOZART'S charming Overture to Zauberilate, which was admirably executed, and brought forth thunders of applause. In the course of the Piece, WERER's unique Over ture to Der Freischutz gave equal satisfaction. Mr. - BiumEn. again astonished the musical connoisseurs in his Concerto on the Trombone, which he rendered as tractable as a German flute. Mr. ATKINSON, the celebrated Yorkshire Singer, gate , " Jerry Blossom" in his happiest style, while VALE made the audience as gay as so many larks.—Reports say that blons. GOUFFE, the Island Ape, is of so much consequence to this . house, that he is to receive 101. for his performance on Monday next. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

WRECK OF A GRECIAN BRIG OF WAR. EXTRACTS OF PRIVATE I,ETTERS, DATED ALDERSET, 11TH AND 12TII NOVEMBER. " FRIDAY, llth.—This morning, at five o'clock, the Gre cian brig of war the Cimoni, Captain , Aliaulis, whilst standing to the westward in a heavy gale at- N. E. and sometimes. N. ran on the eastern part of this island before they discovered land. Although a heavy sea was running at the time, the whole of the crew was landed in safety. " Five o'clock in the evening.-1 have just returned tram the wreck of the brig, where I have been the whole of the day. She had on board many valuables, and in fact a rich cargo, but I regret to state, that a scene of much plunder was wit nessed • at least two thirds of the valuable articles were carried off to the town, or secreted in the sand till an opportunity should occur for removing them. Even a young man of great respec tability carried off a pocket full of table spoons; others, sabres, silver-mounted ; women took whole pieces of muslin or cambric, in pieces of 55 yards each ; and other articles were carried off' by children. Surely this ought not to have been permitted by those who were placed to protect the property." SATURDAY, the 12th.—The vessel still holds together ; most of her cargo is washed out or landed, her cannon are still on her deck, but if she parts, which is expected, they will be all lost, as no effort is made to save them, for plunder seems now to be the order of the day. The crew had property on hoard, which they attempted to save, but they have had in. different success. Well may they all exclaim, as one did this morning—' Oh, that I had been cast on some place among the Turks; I then should have expected death, and met it ; but here, among Christians, I expected charity and protection, and have met with plunder and abuse.' Such must be the fate of individuals who are wrecked on our coast, if Government do not examine into the character of the persons who are placed in situations which require integrity." SHOCKING ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternavn arr Inquisition was taken before J. W. Unwin, Esq. at the. Tyssen. Arms, Dalston, parish of St. John, Hackney, touchil g the death of Sarah Isabella Randall, a child seven years of age. The parents were persons in very humble circumstances, residing in Charles-street, Dalston. On Monday last the mother was from home, employed in washing. The father was at work in a brick field, and a girl older than the deceased was alio from home, leaving the deceased in a room by herself. During their absence a Mrs. Perry, a lodger in the same house, was alarmed by the child's screams, and, entering the room, found her envel -1 loped in flames, which she extinguished by wrapping a woollen apronaround her. A medical gentleman afterwards attended, but the poor child was so dreadfully injured that all his skill was unavailing, and she expired on Wednesday in great agony, Mrs. Perry . learnt from her that she approached the fire to put something into it, when it communicated to her dress.—Ver. diet " Accidental death." In the annals of elegant and useful invention, ROWLAND'S M ACASSAR 01 L has attained the most distinguished celebrity. Patronised by the re. spective Monarchs of the three greatest Empires in the Universe, Russia, China, and Persia, this Oil is established in use and reputation with the civilized and discriminating of all nations, from the Arctic to the Antarctic regions ; and," though last, not least in our esteem," our gracious Sove. reign, his illustrious family, and the beauteous and the brave, of our " surpassing Islands," have long honoured Rowland's invaluable preparation with preferable distinction. These are facts which (multum in parvo) prove the universality, utility, and high pre-eminence of Rowland and Son's Macassar Oil—facts, which render them invulnerable to the futile machinations of envy, and supersede the necessity of lengthened pane.. gyric. To those, however, who have not hitherto used this preparation, a succinct account of its extraordinary qualities may be requisite. The Macassar Oil acts in the double capacity of pre ventive and restorative. Its balsamic properties are nutritive and fertilising, bestowing a healthy vigour that resists decay ; and, in cases even of entire baldness, creating tresses of silken and luxuriant redundancy.
