Very large sums 'of money have been sent to pay th e arrears d ue to t h e Alb an i an C apta i ns . f or -th e t 'j e eeding campaigns ; and this, it is said, has again secured to .

It can hardly be doubted that be was disposed to revolt, but the last Teaatires of the Porte seem greatly to have diminished his tapes , of support from his former friends. • • ' On the 31st January, the English frigates Cambrian and Se rlngapatam, and the Cyrene, had a serious engagement with B orne Greek pirates.. Captain Hamilton was informed that four ireek Alisties had pillaged an lonian vessel, and proceeded to !ook for th em i n the Sea of Negropont.t He put out all the 'Pats belonging to the frigates to pursue them. Two of them overtaken, but resisted, and fired on ' the English. ,ne two G ree k vessels were at length taken an d b urnt b y C apt . n amilton's orders ; but the English' had 8 men killed and 20 w ounded in the action. The frigate of the Commodore, who . t a•P adva nce d to support his people, was so much damaged that 1 . 1 1 supposed he will be obliged to go to Malta to repair. The internal war in the hlorea had ended with the flight or Isub mission of most of the Chi e f s ' o f the opposition.

Never since the commencement of our edito rial duties has it been our .melancholy lot to record an event ftf a nature so much to be lamented as that with which this town was afflicted on Saturday last. At about 20 minutes before 8 o'clock of that morning, the appalling cry of fire was vocife rated throughout town, and the dark.e.louds of smoke soon con vinced us of the fatal truth, and which was found to have origi nated in a house just behind the, market-place, and having coat municated to the adjoinin g buildings, spread tc the north and south with a rapidity truly astonishing, for in two hours after the commencement of the tire the Principal part of North Crown prince's-quarter had become a prey to the devouring flames; .and notwithstanding the great exertions made to arrest its pro gress, all the houses on Frenchman's-hill (excepting Major Wright's dwelling. and, we believe, two small buildings) were burnt to the ground, as well as those in a line from the market down to the very end of the town.. The southern part of Cure goa-street, and about 20 houses- on the right of the main street, at the west end of the town, were, by great exertions, fortu nately rescued. Some of the fire-proof stores in the range of t..e fire were preserved; but others supposed to be so, being ex posed by having the doors and.. windows open to remove the goods, were destroyed. • ' • On Sunday. morning it was a truly melancholy sight to wit ness the destruction done, and the, misery depicted in the coun tenances of the unfortunate sufferers, _hundreds of whom we know to be reduced from comparative affluence to,the extreme of indigence. In the present state of confusion and dismay, it is impossible for us to form any thing like an estimate of the amount of loss of property sustained, but sure we are that it must be immense, for the fire raged with such fury, and rapidity, that few saved any thing, glad to escape with their lives. Neither can we state the precise number of buildings destroyed, but on the least calculation we may safely say, that one-third of our unfor tunate town has been destroyed. - • We. feel it a duty incumbent on us to acknowledge with feelings of the deepest gratitude, the services rendered on this most calamitous occasion by the commanders,officers, and crews of, his Britannic Majesty's brig Bellette (which vessel entered the harbour shortly after the fire commenced), of the United States' schooner Grampus, the English packet Lady Pelham, and the captains and crews of the merchant-vessels in port ; their exertions were truly praise-worthy, and will long be re membered by the inhabitants of St, Thomas's. From all the accounts we have been able to gather, it appears that the fire originated entirely from accident. At the commencement of the fire, the alarm-guns were fired, since which martial law continues ;—the regular troops and militia corps mount guard day and night for the protection of property. It gives us great pleasure to state, that a subscription was opened yesterday, and in a few hours about 9,00 t) dollars were raised, which is now in the hands of a Committee who are dis tributing food and apparel to the unfortunate sufferers: We hope an apology to our readers is not necessary forissuing the present publication on a half sheet; for the house in which we keep our office being not more than forty yards from others on fire on Saturday, and no hopes entertained for its safety, we removed our presses, types, ece, on board of the American ship Governor von Seholten, and only yesterday had them brought on shore, but in such a confused and disordered state, that it is with difficulty we can even issue this day's paper in its pre sent form ; we hope, however, to be able to publish Saturday's in its usual size.: The following notice was issued by the Governor of St. Thomas's on the day succeeding die conflagration : " After the hard fate which this town has suffered on Satur day last, it is duty of every one whose property has been pro tected-by Providence by all his "means to alleviate the distress of the poor sufferers. I entertain the confident expectation that the well-mit.ded inhabitanta who have rooms to let or provi sions to sell, will not increase . the _pries of these articles, as I shall .be under the necessity, should' any complaint be made, Of putting a stop to such practices by severe means. " Government of St. Thomas and St. John's.—St... Thomas, Feb. 14, 1825. " P. v. SHOLTEN." . [A very considerable commercial intercourse is carried on by the merchants of London with the island of St. Thomas, and it has been suggested to sev e r a l - o f th e l ea di ng h ouses, i n co n s equence of this calamity, that a public meeting shoulel be held to raise subscriptions for the relief.of the sufferers—a bene volent proposition, which we trust will be carried into effect.— This is the third time within 30 years that the town of Saint Thomas has been visited by a similar calamity.] The spirit of commercial speculation is appear ing every day more clearly in France. Two Companies are forming to carry a railway from Paris to llavre de Grace. Sunday night Mr. LITTLIwoon, a King's Mes senger, left town with dispatches for Vienna. Saturday night Mr. CROTCH, the King's Messen ger, left town with dispatches for St. Peters burgh. The subscription, at Liverpool, for a piece of plate to Mr. IlusKissoN, amounted, on Monday evening, to upwards of 1,5201. Sir GODFREY NV EBSTER has already commenced an active electioneering campaign for the county of Sussex. ROYAL J cwEr.s.—The day before yesterday M. de MAUBREUIL was arrested. This Gentleman had re turned to France some ,time. previous, and had that very mo:n ing presented a petition to the Chamber of Deputies. It will be remembered, that both before and after the hundred days, he has been subjected to numberless judicial proceedings on the charge of taking away the diamonds belonging to the Ex-Queen of Westphalia; it will likewise be remembered, that after having asserted befOre the tribunals, that he had been charged by the mission to assassinate Napoleon, and after having com plained of the treatment that he received in prison, lie was sent back by a decree of the Court of Cassation to the Royal Court of Douai, the city from which he escaped to pass into Belgium, and subsequently to England. 'The petition of M. de Mau breuil relates to various condemnations that he had undergone, and which now appear to be set aside by the prescription. (Le Courier Francais.) The subscription for. the families of the sufferers by the explosion at the Middleton Colliery (near Leeds), has now attained to the amount of 2,2001. Sir TIIOMAS 'BUIMON, of Jesmond, Northum berland, has made a donation of-101. to the Literary, Scientific, and Mechanical Institution of Newcastle-upon-Tyne._ _ - - - The respectabl e con n ercial firtn of Messrs.

WILLIAM PROBERT.---When the fact of the Grand Jury having found a true bill against this person for the capital charge was made known to hi m yesterday evening, he appeared completely astonished ; in fact, he seemed to have expected a differeneresult, and so acute were his feelings for some hours that he could scarcely suppress them.

Sig—l feel myself called, npon - to declare, that the.paragraphs which hare appeared in several of the - NeWspaperS - Of Saturday and Sunday last and yesterday,. respecting the recent treaty of Marriage of Miss FooTE with Mr. HATNE, contain various falsehoods and misrepresentations ; and that the. conduct of that Lady throughout the transaction (with - the exception, perhaps, of her listening at all to Mr. ITAYNt's renewed addresses), so far from exciting a blush in cite check either of herself, or those Gentlemen whose names are with no great regard to delicacy dragged into public notice, has been such as to do her honour. Wh e ther Miss F.Qoys7.,_ who is at,present absentfrout will bestow further, attention upon those publications, is for her to determine.

The chief of them represents the Resurrection of Outt SAVIOUR, and his appear a ace in the presen ce o f M ary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the Mother of James. The hallowed grace with which_ this Artist invests scriptural subjects needs no enlogium from us. This picture, we presume, as well as his beautiful work on a similar subject last year, will be deemed a suit able ornament for some of the New Churches.— Another of the pictures from this ingenious Ar tist is a Portrait of Lord BYRON, in Venetian attire. We well remember his former Portrait of the departed.NO.bleman, and end eavoure d t o do justice to it. The third work is a beautiful representation of MILTON'S L'Allegro and 11 Pensierosa. As WESTA L4 is a good Poet him self, it is no womder that he has treated the sub ject with trues poetical spirit and beauty.— W. DANIELL bras sent several pictures highly creditable toes talents.

Are now My righteous curse alone ! , I might have met thee in the ties, Earth's every tie above, Where pure religion sanctifies The purest fire of Love: I might have trod, unharm'd, with thee, The billows of Life's fiery sea, And felt its tempests move With heedless brow, as lightly fitnn'd As flower by gale of:southern land. • Thou would'at have been a sun to lend Prosperity its light:`:' • Misfortune has not power to send On Love her withering blight : • Mid the murk shades of pain .and ill Love's beauty chews more beauteous stin, ' And makes affliction bright, - ' As Evening turns the clouds that press Around her throne to loveliness. "%Yell art thou now aveng'd ! my doom Is hepelesa as the dead ; A scornful world, an heartless home, • A breast of guilt and dread ! 0 for one hour to tell thee now How dear I rue mine alter'd vow ! But no ! thy soul bath fled Where nought of death, of pain, of sin, Where nought of me may entrance win. And yet beside thy hallow'd grave While agonied I groan, A voice whose utterance seems to save Is breathing from the stone. And shall my unreposing mind Ons gleam of consolation find In this dread spot alone, • The tomb where all my hopes are laid, My woes begun, my guilt display'd Breathe, voice of comfort ! breathe again ! And, if repentance deep, To mourn the past with bitterest pain, To supplicate, to weep, • May move His justice to relent Who died to save the Penitent, I'll strive, and hope to sleep In Him : and wake where I shall be With love, and faith, and joy, and thee.

Wiiinson, APRIL s.—Farnhani Common yesterday exhi bitedn scene which, to the true lovers of hunting, must have been highly gratifying. • The weather being fine, every animal with four legs upon which a saddle could be placed was hired for the hunt, and as early a nine o'clOck the place of meeting was thronged with spbrtsmen, waiting the arrival of the hounds. Soon after eleven o'clock the deer cart arrived, and the greatest anxiety was shown by the sportsmen until twelve, when the deer was uncarted, and, after the customary law. the hounds led on. The rapidity with which they proceeded (notwithstanding the precaution many took by starting, in the direction a considerable time before the hounds), soon left a great portion of the fol lowers in the back ground, iviio reckoned upon nothing elsebut being in' at the death. At first going off the deer took the di rection of Windsor, but the sun setting in her face, she turned to the left for Beaconsfield, and afterwards turned again and was taken at East Burnham, near the place she started, after a run of two hours and ten minutes, a distance of about 19 miles. The common was completely covered with vehicles, horsemen, and pedestrians of every description.

FRIGHTFUL SUICIDE. PLYMOUTH, APRIL 3.-1 am just retur ied from a Coroner's Inquest, which has been summoned on the body of a commercial traveller, named John Burberry, from the houses of Messrs. Murdock and Venables, and Mr. Frankhani, both of London; and as I know you take deep interest in matters connected with commercial affairs, I hasten to. give you, for the information of your readers, a brief outline of the tra g ic scene. From the evid e n ce o f a man name d V enn, hostler at3lurcleki Ilotel here, and which was corroborated by the chambermaid, it appears Mr. Burberry arrived there late on Friday evening from Madbury ; his general conduct up to Saturday afternoon, when he left the house for the last time,' was unusual, - anti pourtrayed great,mental anxiety. A man named Wood tray on the Hoe on Saturday evening at eight o'clock, and saw a man standing on the brink of the rocks, near the Citadel, leaning -on the rails; he passed him, and went to the oth er end : on his return the p erson was still there, but turned round, and holding the rails on the inside ; he looked at Ifm for when he heard a cry of " Oh !" and the wan (sin; proved to be Mr. B.) fell backwards, a distance of ,%t feet. rugged rocks. Wood got ass:stance, and the body was borm: to the workhouse.—Mr. Fug; surgeon, went to the line 1 Cor , „t the body was removed, and with great risk reached the fright. ful spot, when the deceased was found doubled up, with bo. : ' l legs and thighs broken, and his skull so horribly fractured. zr• to be wholly emptied of the brain. In his pocket were to Ind ' letters, evidently written in contemplation of the fatal act. The most important letter was one to his wife, at %Veils, written from Madbury the Friday evening, by which it appeared that he had neglected his duty, and spent about 1001. of his em ployers' money. Preparatory to his death, in a trembling hand, he wrote a certificate of his wife's good conduct, anti de- Oaring the cause of his destruction to be irregular habits and pecuniary difficulties, " which had caused his blood to facer ;" and lie added, that " his nerve was took weak to survive the effects." Several other circumstances were adduced, itiiies clearly established the 'perturbed state of his mind.—The roner, R. J. SQUIRE, Esq., in summing tip, was fully per ' suaded of the wretched Iran's mind Ite_vng bee. temporarily deranged, in which opinion the Jury agr, el, and retuned a verdict accordingly.—Mr. John Green, Mr. Henry Robinicu, land Mr. Joseph Mason, all commercial gentlemen, were pre_ sent, and took deep interest in the inquest; and for the comfort of .his relatiVes in town, I can assure you these gentlemen ',lave. resolved to be at the expence of a decent interment.

WHITE, the Sitting M ag i s t rate at Queen-square .Office:_ fon being drunk and disorderly. There was no charge, hoiveven, preferred against . her Ladyship, who seemed to sliew Inuck contrition, and requested to be passed to her parents,—Mr- WHITE—Is that your real inclination ?-111ary.Ann Pearce_. It is, Sir. lam ashamed of my past conduct ; it is impossible to walk the streets in my present condition. I wish to .go to my father who is a farmer at Yarmouth, in Cornwall ; I hav e not seen him for 19 years past.-111r. WHITE said, a conver sation has taken place between several of the Magistrates and myself respecting you, and if you will return home you shall have a letter and proper means supplied you for that purpose.— To this her Ladyship appeared highly grateful, and .a letter was accordingly granted her. Two GENTLEMEN SHOT AT Tait SAME- Trmr:By A SPRING GI/N.—As Richard 'Wilson, Esq. of Bildestone, and his son-in.law, Mr. Oxendon, were returning from Chureli oil Sunday, the 27th ult., they extended their walk by the planta tions, near the mansion, and although 31r. Wilson knew of spring guns being set, he put his foot by accident upon one of the wires of a gun,which was fired, and its contents were lodged in his knees and thighs. An alarm was immediately given, and Mr. Wilson was soon conveyed home. - The family surgeon was sent for, who extracted several of the shot, but many were out of his reach. Every means possible were used to prevent inflam mation, and Mr. Wilson appears to be going on well. Mr. Oxendon was very slightly wounded. This is the third accident from spring-guns on the preserved grounds of the same gentle man. A poor woman, a stranger from .Needham, on her way through Wartisham, inquired her way to Bildestone ; she was desired to take the second gate, but by mistake she took the first, - which led her into a wood called Scapes Grove. No sooner was she in; than a gun was fired by her treading on a wire, and the contents were spread upon her. She happened to be pretty thickly clothed, which luckily for her, prevented serious conse quences. The second case was his own gamekeeper, of the name of Scott, who, in taking his perambulation in a wood called Muckenger, discovered a rabbit in a snare ; he immediately placed a spring-gun, at the same time exclaiming, with an oath, that he would trace the villain by his blood. Scarcely were the words out of his mouth, before he, by some accident or other, came in contact with some of the leading wires, and he received the contents principally in one leg; the man being in a bad habit of body, a mortification soon followed, and his limb above his knee was amputated. A single shot injured the branch-of an artery in the other leg, and some doubt was entertained forseve ral days whether that limb would not share the same fate; how ever, pressure succeeded in curing him. In a month or so, the • law, it is hoped, will deprive gentlemen of the _pleasure qfsho9t ing themselves.—( Sit rolk'Chronicle.) .
