(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The enclosed Memorial was signed by all the Bankers of Birmingham and neighbourhood a inotith since, and presented to Lord Goderich (by Mr. Littleton, Member for Staffordshire), who in receiving it promised tL•at it should have his best consideration. There really is in it a fact as to stamps greatly affecting the private banks in competition with the old mother. As a disinterested spectator. of the competition, it does appear to me, that if the two rival establishments subsist in their present unequal competition, 'the Branch Banks Will gradually.get all the good business ; and what private hankers.will do the business of that mass of small aCcOunts which certainly forms a great proportion of the active trades and manufactures of the country ? And is the public cre dit and monetary system of this country in a. state - for changes and experiments? Birmingham, October 8, 1827. " To the Right Hon. Lord Coderich, First Lord Commis sioner of His Majesty's Treasury, • " The Memorial of the undersigned, Bankers in the Town of Birmingham and its Neighbourhood, Respectfully sheweth, " That by 55 Geo. 111. cap. 184, inland bills of ex change, either on demand or otherwise, not exceeding twu months after date, or sixty days after sight, are made chargeable with certain ad valorem stamp duties therein specified. " That your Memorialists in the course of their regular business have been in the practice of drawing bills of ex- - change to enable their customers to transmit sums of money from one part of the kingdom tb another—each bill upon a stamp, agreeably with the above enactment.. - " That since the establishment of Branches of the Bank of England, the Agents of these Branch Banks have drawn Bills of Exchange at 21 days after date, upon unstamped paper—c4nsidering, as' your Memorialists are informed, that their Bills of Exchange are exempted from stamp du ties, under the 20th section of the above Act, which al lows the Governor and Company of the Bank of England to pay a composition upon their Promissory Notes and Bank Post Bills,' in,lien of duties. • " That the following statements will serve to show the difference in amount of duty between that which is paid, when every 13111 of Exchange is drawn upon'a stamp, as in the case of your Memorialists, and the duty paid by the Governor and Company of the Bank of England for Bills of Exchange drawn by them. under the composition for their Promissory Notes and Bank Post Bills.'

That the injurious effect to his Majesty's Revenue above noticed, arises from the circumstance of one charge Only being made in the year upon the largest amount in circulation at any one time of the Bank of England drafts at twenty-one-days, whilst the chate of stamp duty upon the average amount of drafts of other Bankers drawn at the same date of twenty-one days, is repeated 17 1 / 3 times in the year. " Your Memorialists respectfully submit the foregoing to your Lordship's attention, and pray that all Bills of Exchange be made liable to the same stamp duty, whether drawn by the Governor and Company of the Bank of Eng land, or by others of his Majesty's subjects. CHINESE CRIMES AND PUNISHMENTS, The following curious article is copied from the Chinese Chronicle of the 22d December last : Yu-fung, a broker who had charge of the Maize, or Indian Corn, being transported to the north, through the Province of Honan, permitted its being loaded by the' boatmen in such a hurried, careless manner, and in a damp state, that-it was all moulded and spoiled. His Majesty expresses great detesta tion, and has directed that the broker Yu-fung be punished with a hundred blows, and transported three thousand 1.. 0 from his native place, Other of the parties concerned are punished more or less severely, and required to reimburse Government for the spoiled corn. " From the province Sze-chuen, a father has gone to Court to complain against the local Govern ment for leaving unpunished. the murder of his son. The son went to claim a debt from a neighbouring farmer, and staid longer than he should. A sister and cousin went after him to ascertain the cause; when as they approached the house they perceived the young man hanging on a tree. The farmer said he had hanged himself. But the body exhibited marks of violence; broken ribs, kicks, &c. The sister collected the teeth that had been knocked out of his head, and carried them to the Magistrate as evidence of violence, which could not have been self-inflicted. The father appealed to Government, but instead of obtaining justice was flogged by the local officer to induce a confession which was dic tated. He applied to the Governor, and was sent back to the local officer, who chained him up and extorted money to allow of his being liberated. The farmer bribed the father of the deceased's wife to force her to sell herself to the murderer of her hus band. The father could endure it no longer, and repaired to Peking to appeal to the Emperor. His Majesty said, Record the Memorial.' " In Yunnan Province the Borders on the Bur mese side had been robbing, plundering, and mur dering the police; but a military party has succeed ed in seizing forty-four of the offenders. Those who did so are greatly praised and promoted." DEATH OF OLIVER, THE SPY. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, AUG. O.—Oliver, the late notorious London spy, known here as William Jones, late Surveyor of Government Works, &c., is dead. Just prior to the arrival of Sir Rufane Dcm kin's book, he had, it is said, been undergoing a most rigid scrutiny relative to some heavy items of expenditure, many of which had been incurred upon verbal directions, and having thus no vouchers to produce, the accounts were refused to be passed. Add to this, many tradesmen were becoming clamor ous for payment of these very expences, and in one or two instances prosecuted Jones for the amount. Ha became melancholy, and took to drinking. At this period Sir Rufane Donkin's pamphlet appeared, and exhibited him, beyond doubt, as the individual whom few doubted he was ; but availing himself of these doubts, he had hitherto contrived to hold up his head in society. His last subterfuge was now deStroyed, and he fellinto utter despair ; he confined himself to his house, was constantly - inebriated, became sick as well in body as in mind, a n d at length it was whispered to him that his end was fast approach ing. Gangrene of the bowels commenced, and he went out of existence insensibly to all. Such were the last moments of Oliver, the spy. As Colonel Strutt, M.P., was one day last week riding on his pony very slowly up the High-street, a Person in a one-horse chaise was driving very carelessly down the street ; and although there was sufficient space, upon the side on which be attempted to pass Col. Strutt, for three carriages to pass, lie drove against that gentleman with such force as to bruise his leg most severely. Colonel Strutt has since been under the care of Mr. Whitaker ; and we feel gratified in stating that he is in a fair way of re covety from the effects of this inhuman and unnecessary act, though, from the severity of the bruise, he is likely to be confined t,) his bed for some time longer.— Chelten ham Chronic;e. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazelle de France, dated Monday, Oct. S.) PARIS, OCT. 7.—Letters from Barcelona, of the 29th September, announce that the King of Spain arrived at Tarragona on the 28th. The whole popu- lation went to meet him, and displayed the greatest enthusiasm. The country people passed the whole night in the fields in order to see him. The roads were covered with royalist volunteers,. who were drawn up on each side where his Majesty passed. A letter from Vienna informs us that the Infant Don Miguel will go to. Portugal through Fiance anti England, and that he is to stop some time at London. His Grace the Duke of Portland, President of the Council of his Britannic Majesty, has just arrived at Paris. The Journal de Frankfort is mistaken in announc ing the death of the Grand Duke of Baden. His Royal Highness is in good health. • We have received a letter from Constantinople, dated Sept. 16 (by the Russian post, and by way of Bucharest). It contains the following sentences : " No essential change has taken place since the 31st of August. The negotiations and conferences of the European Ministers still continue; the fami lies of the three Ambassadors have not yet sailed. " The Russian subjects, having inquired of their Legation if there was reason: to fear it speedy rup ture, received an evasive answer, with the advice to act with prudence in the management of their affairs." General Count Fernig, brother-in-law of General Count Guillerninot 4 his Majesty's Ambassador to the Ottoman Porte, arrived yesterday, express from Constantinople. The ancient Castle of Rosenberg, in the Rhinthal, which was still an ornament in that delightful country, fell down, for the most part, on the 23d of September. The vineyards below have suffered considerably. We expect further particulars. Accounts from Berlin of the 29th of September say—" Lieutenant Wimmer, in the Russian service, has passed through this city, with dispatches from London for Petersburgh. M. Theremin, our Consul at Rio de Janeiro, has also arrived here with the ra tification of a Treaty of Commerce between Brazil and Prussia, giving to the latter the commercial ad vantages before obtained by Franca and England," (From the Quotidienne.) The events of Catalonia are covered with a veil which we can scarcely withdraw. The want of communication, the character of the insurrectionary movement, all the circumstances which accompany it, give room for a thousand different versions which the liberal journals labour to turn to their own ad vantage. To hear some of them, the struggle has commenced ; the rebels have attacked at all points the troops of the King; communications are: every where -intercepted ; in a word, it is doubt fill that the Catalan insurgents can be subdued. Ac cording to others, an amicable arrangement is on the point of being concluded, the first article of which is to be the triumph of the Inquisition and of the prin ciples falsely ascribed to the Spanish Government ; in fine, others say that the King of Spain has re turned to Madrid; that his Majesty has no rem - nance to the principles proclaimed by the Rebels of Catalonia, and that he will satisfy some of their complaints by an agreement prepared by -General Romagosa. All these reports appear to as either false or ex aggerated. The letters which we received from Perpignan, assure us that the affair of Catalonia draws to an end, whatever be the mode, whether by an amicable arrangement, or by the forced submis sion of the rebels. In the latter case it would be sufficient to have some corps of the Army of Obser vation of Portugal, in order to prepare the triumph Of the royal authority in a pro Vince, four-fifths of the population of which have remained faithful. , We this instant learn that the 200 rebels whom General Manso held shut up in a part of Villa Franca, have been obliged to surrender at dis cretion. P.S. SEVEN 'O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING.—The report has been spread on 'Change, and appears to be confirmed this evening in Paris, that the Govern ment, which has established posts between Perpig nan and Bordeaux, has received from the latter town by telegraph, information of King Ferdinand's arri val at Tarragona. Immediately after his arrival his Catholic Majesty had published a general amnesty, without any exception, except that of some old mi litary chiefs. This amnesty must have produced the best effect, since two bands of the insurgents imme diately laid down their arms. It is added that in this band there were some disciplined battalions of Royalist 'Volunteers. (From the Constitutionnel.) PERPMNAIsi, SEPT. 30.—The Junta of Manresa has caused its manifesto, in the shape of a procla mation to all Catalonian Royalists, to be printed. After dwelling upon their grievances, and the mo tives which induced the Agraviados to take up arms, it announces to the Royalist Catalonians, and all those who have taken ,up arms for the cause they defend, that King Ferdinand arrives, and that their Chiefs will represent to him their wishes, or rather will (nuestras voluntades) ;, that they ask the King's being restored to the plenitude of his sovereignty ; tend that things be again placed in the same state they formerly were in before the revolution. That the Inquisition be likewise restored, if not, they say we will again take up arms (Sino tornarenios las arenas.) This prOclamation has been forwarded to all the Chiefs commanding the different Royalist Divisions of the army of the Junta. We received accounts from Catalonia by sea. The captain of a vessel which sailed on the 29th from Vilassard, has brought intelligence that King Ferdinand had already arrived at Tarragona, and that he had refused to lodge at the Archiepiscopal Palace. Another vessel which left Tarragona with barrels of ammunition arrived on the 28th at Palamos. The captain of that vessel, which touched the night be fore at Barcelona, has announced that he has learned in the latter , town, that General Mans° had been attacked in his passage through Ordal with a co lumn of 1,580 men, by a body of rebels; a brisk fire of musketry, which was heard at a distance, gave rise to the presumption, that an engagement had taken place between the rebels and tie Royaftroops. The same General surprised the rebels on his arri val at Villa Franca, and took 200 prisone rs f rom them. The same captain brought journals from Barcelona, containing the following intelligence : " The recruitment of the battalions of th e Ki ng ' s tiliarpshooters is suspended until further orders." No pilchards have' appeared on the coast:sinee our last publication ; many of the beans have been laid up for the season. About 600 hogsheads of fish, taken by the driving boats of St. Ives, were this week sold at 38s. 6d. per hhd. The holders of sewn-fish ask 70s. a hogs head, inclusive of -the bounty, 4s. We learn that 655. a hogshead have been oftiCred and refused. The quantity of fish taken at St. Ives is between 1,200 and 1,300 hhds.— Sherborne Mercury. . When Churchill finished his Rosciad, h e waited on an eminent bookseller with the copy, but he had suffered so severely by the publication of poetr y, th at h e was determined to have nothing more to do with any of the rhyming sons of Apollo, unless indemnified from sus taining any loss. This condition Churchill could not com ply with. The bookseller, however, recommended a worthy young man to him, who bad just ventured his little fortune in the uncertain sea of ink, and who would probably run the risk of publication. Churchill waited on him, and found every thing to his wish. The poem was printed, advertised, and at the end of five days ten copies were sold. .Churchill was thunderstruck, and the book seller was little less chagriiied. At the end of four days more he called again, and found that six more copies were sold ; the poet was almost frantic, and hurried away to a friend to acquaint him with his hard fate. His friend, who was intimate with Garrick, posted to him the next morning, and informed him that a beautiful picture of his astonishing abilities had just appeared in the Rosciad. Garrick swallowed the gilded pill, instantly sent for the poem, read it, and sounded its praises wherever he went.— Goodhugh's Library Manual. PRICES OF FOIi.EION FUNDS Austrian Bends, 5 per cent.

No further advices have been received from Constantinople, and at present we are only en abled to say, that the contents of the private let ters are so wholly at variance with the , tenor of the despatches from the Ambassadors, that they must be received with great caution. It is now fully ascertained that no arrival from Constan tinople, of a more recent date than that at which the official despatches to the two Governments were sent off, has taken place: and we have every reason to believe that, to say the least of it, the writers of the letters which asserted that the Rata EFFENDI had shown a disposition to con cede the question of Greece,. were misinformed. The Paris Papers of Sunday, and the Gazette de France dated Monday morning, reached us last night. The latter states that General Count FERNIG, brother-in-law of. General' Count GUILLEMINOT, the French Ambassador to the Ottoman Porte, arrived on Saturday express from Constantinople, but no mention is made of the nature of the advices brought by him. A letter, however, dated the 16th Sept., which the Ga• zette de France states it received by the Russian Post by way of BuCharest from Constantinople, but which was probably brought by the General, contains the following sentence :—" No essential " change has taken place since the 31st August. " The negociations and conferences of the Euro " peen Ministers still continue. The families " of the three Ambassadors have not sailed. The " Russian subjects having inqUired of their Lega tion if there was reason to fear aspeedy rupture, " received an evasive answer, with the advice to " act with prudence in the management of their " affairs." This certainly goes a long ,way to wards throwing discredit on 'the aCemints, con tained in private letters, of the disposition evinced by the Porte to give way, but still we must wait an arrival of later date before the question can be positively set at rest. The vacillation which the Turkish GoVernment always shews in the most important affairs, has, without doubt, been evinced on this occasion, and 'We inay expect frequently to hear very contradictory accounts of its decision before that deeisiOn is finally made. The intelligence from Spairi in these Papers iS interesting. FERDINAND has again appeared. The Gazette de. France announces his. MA JESTY'S arrival in the fortress of Tarragona on the 28th, and states that the whole popidation went out to meet him, and displayed the greatest enthusiasm.. The country people even passed the whole night in the fields in order to see their beloved Monarch, and the Royalist Volunteers actually lined the roads where his MAJESTY passed. The Quotidienne describes .the effect of the KING'S presence as still more influential, and asserts that the best effect Lad been produced by a general amnesty which his MAJESTY had pro claimed. Two of the Insurgent Bands are said instantly to have laid down their arms. The Gazette de France states, on the autho rity of a letter from Vienna, that the Infant Don MIGuEL is to pass through France and this country on his way to POrtugal. The reason of his taking this route is said to be the objec tion which exists in the mind 4 of the Portuguese Ministers to his personal intercourse with the Court of Madrid. If this be the cause of it, there can be little confidence entertained of the principles of the future REGENT of Portu gal ; and if he cannot be trusted to communicate personally with his relatives at Madrid, what may not be feared of him when.he comes into con ,tant communication with his Mother at Lis- bon. The prospects of Portugal under such a Viceroy are gloomy indeed. Extracts are given in another column. The Duke of Kent packet has arrived with a Lisbon mail of the 30th September. By this opportunity we have received Lisbon Gazettes to the 29th of September inclusive, from which we make the following extracts :—The in tended assumption of the Government of Portugal by the Infant Don Ml9uEi. as Regent during the minority of his future consort, is de clared to be in harmony with the ideas of the most powerful nations of Europe, and the unanimous wish of all good Portuguese ; but we are . told in the same article that subjects have nothing to do but to obey, confiding in the wisdom of Go vernments ; and in the following Gazette we have a circular from the Princess REGENT alluding to seditious cries being uttered in dif ferent parts of the kingdom, from which we. should infer that the intended assumption of regal power by Don MIGUEL is not exactly in accordance with the wishes of a large portion of the people. The idea of free institutions 'ln Portugal is at end when Don MIGUEL arrives:— LISBON, SEPT. 26. The official part of the Gazette contains a circular from the Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs and Justice to all the Corregidors and Juiges de Fora in the Kingdom, of the following tenor : " Her Serene Highness the Infanta Regent having been informed that In some parts of the Kingdom seditious cries have been uttered with a view to influence the people, dis-, turbing the public tranquillity, and destroying the social tie on which depends the prosperity of the inhabitants, whose first duty is to obey the Government and the laws, her Highness, in the name of the King, orders you to oppyse with all vigour and diligence the utterance of such cries, whatever be the motive, or rathei• the pretext for them, since it belongs only to her Highness to order solemn re joicings when it shall be time, determining the object of them, and the manner in which they shall, be celebrated ; and as the majority of those persons who take part in these proceedings are .mis led by the wicked suggestions of evil melt, who ,conceal sinister designs under hypocritical appearances, her High ness further orders me to endeavoui to impress on the people under your jurisdiction, the respect which ought to be observed towards the Sovereign, towards her High-. ness herself, the Regent of these Kingdoms, and the insti tutions which his Majesty the King, Don Pedro IV. was pleased to give to his subjects ; all acts contrary to those sacred objects being highly criminal, and to he punished w wtuhi i iiei t ii h mopn t ;r h oa e cmsei u ne do t in ega o s gtha t hei e t nr i s g ptH o e u oiag r pt eiy o n f e‘,vs t vsi l h a a o sv l i v om sianb s l"el : gdfaoorvreernto pract is e d s whi ch wbeti r lhl e ge a s bue o in you which her wisdom suggests to her , to preserve peace ey a a n i' inex orable towards all those individuals who with increased pertinacity, attempt again to bring upon the Kingdom . the scourge of civil discord. JOSE FREIRE DE ANDRADE. Palace of Ajuda, Sept. 26, 1527. LISBON, SEPT. 25'. In No. 225 of this Journal we inserted in the official part the news that his Majesty Don Pedro IV. had ap pointed the Infant Don Miguel to govern these kingdoms. This determination of his Majesty shows very clearly' that the policy of the State, and great changes in the Govern ment, are not decided by military or popular tumults, 'or by the pens of public writers. Portugal has seen and suffered for these fourteen months terrible effects from kith these causes, and it is certain that neither of them has con tributed, either directly or indirectly, to the present . de termination. Military bodies, whose first duty was and' always will be implicit obedience, raising and deciding politiCat questions, emigrated to a foreign kingdom, there prepared a disastrous incursion, invaded their own country,and being re pulsed by the force obedient to the Government, carried their standards, covered with disgrace, which had formerly been so often displayed in triumph, in the same places. Such was the necessary result of an enterprise undertaken without the authority or consent of him who did not need Such . ' means to govern this Kingdom, and with whose dignity only secure, legitimate, indisputable titles are compatible, emanating from the principle of true and acknowledged legitimacy, and guaranteed and maintained by its strength : titles which the above enterprise could never offer.--, His Highness assuming the Government of Portugal according to the most sacred _principles of legitimacy, recognised and respected by himself; in harmony with the ideas of the most powerful nations in Europe ; by the unanimous wish of all good Portuguese, who love peace, who respect the decisions of their King, the sanctity of re ligion, personal property, and security, who cherish a•Well regulated liberty, but abhor licentiousness, and who, iii short, never desire the excesses of parties or the violence of extremes, will find in them well regulated principles; the only titles worthy of him, and the only ones able to induce him to accept the Government, during the minority of his August Consort, our Queen Donna Maria:ll. ; and not those that may be offered him by the illusions of some people (ponce), and of some soldiers inspired with erroneous, principles of religion and fidelity. The public writers, who pretending to direct the opi nion of the King, and the policy of foreign cabinets,' auda ciously interfered in the question of the Regency of POr tugal—a question which was imprudently agitated among us till the publication of the decree of 20th June, this year, which expressly prohibited it; now also see that the King, in affairs of the greatest importance to the welfare of the nation, has to guide himself by profound combina tions, which often are not in harmony with the amain's of the publications,' and the opinions of the writers, which are frequently designated very falsely by the name Of Pub lic opinion. Every one has also an opportunity to convince himself that it is not by its own efforts that the policy of Porttigal can suffer changes ; that no European Power can now de part, in essential points, from the policy adopted 'by the other Powers, without disastrous consequences. The con viction of this truth renders especially necessary, at this moment, the practice of that fundamental maxim on which public tranquillity is founded, namely, that subjects have to do nothing but to obey, uniting in sincere affection; avoid ing private offences, allaying all the fury of parties, de spising odious appellations, which perpetuate and inflame them, and confiding in the wisdom and prudence' f Go vernments, whose business it is to consider and . direct whatever is most suitable to the happ L in l e s s u s o o x f , th s e Er p r..2 eop1 8 & :. crew The .E 32 up i l n a tes andE English 9 sit English galley, passengers, William Bu v e h k o h i a r t , m e as going ter, arrived yesterday, in eight days, from Cork,' with a to Rio tie Janeiro. St. John's New . Brunswick Papers to the 9th of September have been received. Under the head of British West Indies they state that, accord ing to accounts'. from Barbadoes to the end of July, they continued to be most abundantly supplied with all American produce throUgh Halifax and the Foreign Islands, particularly the latter, and'at a cheaper rate for some articles than when they bad a direct trade with the United States ; that they expected supplies of . flour, staves, &c. from the north of Europe ; that at Antigua they had already received a large supply of corn and meal from France, and that shortly they should forget that the United States existed as far as they depended on them for supplies. The crops of sugar were expected to fall' short this year.. Hi s Excellency, the Commander Tin -. Chief, had issued an order dated Fredericktown, in which he states, that the increased population o f Queen's County has induced him to order t h e militia to be divided into two battalions. . Letters from Miramichi, to the 29th Auguit, mention that since their last report there is a de crease in the number of cases of typhus fever. The extent of this disorder, it is worthy of remark, has been alirmat entirely eonfined to the new settlers. Dysentery has, however, prevailed among classes, and is a little less formidable than what ." might be expected in a tropical climate. A new Lazaretto had been completed during the week; the number of patients admitted amounted to 46; a number had, however, been discharged, and only 38 remained, who, it was hoped, would speedily be restored to health by the salubrity of the air, and the attention bestowed to their case. Hamhurgh Papers of the 6th inst. have reached us this forenoon, but we have, only room to insert, the following extracts : • VIENNA, SEPT. 27 The account that has been received here from the fron tiers, of a serious demonstration of the Russian army on the Pruth, is contradicted by the Russian Legation at our Court. His Imperial Highness the Archduke Ferdinand of Este, on returning from his tour of inspection in Hungary, has been attacked and plundered by robbers in the great forest of Bakony, on the frontiers of Croatia. His Imperial Highness had no escort with him. It is now generally affirmed that the Infant Dou Miguel Will go by way of London, 'and make some stay in that city, FRANKFORT, OCT. I The Swalian Mercury contains the following :—A private letter from Berlin says, " We hear a great deal o f a circular note which a great Power is said t o have issued• and the tendency of which is to point out. be necessity to proceed in the intended pacification of the East, with equal energy and promptness, as the only means of preventing greater •evils than those which it is intended to put ay end to." Our fellow-citizen, the celebrated traveller M. E. Rug- , pd, has happily arrived at Leghorn with his faithful cow panion M. Hey. A packet, with the Jamaica mail of the 4th of September, has arrived off Falmouth, but the letters will not be in town until to-morrow. The barque Wanderer, - CLAYTON, arrived at Deal, in 70 days, from Honduras, on the sth September fell in with the American schooner Susan, - MILLER, of Thomas Town, on the point of foundering from injuries received in a violent gale, or rather hurricane, and took from her the crew, consisting of six persons.

The following extract of a letter from Wm , PENNELL, Esq., his MAJESTY'S Consul an d Agent to LLOYD'S at Bahia, dated July 31, 1827, was posted at LLOYD'S late this after- noon : A brig-of-war hating appeared off this harbour on the 14th inst.; reported to be a pirate, 1 communicated the cir cumstance to Capt. Bingham, of his Majesty's ship Thetis,. suggesting for his consideration the propriety of his cruis ing for a few days, for the protection of the Which trade• He immediately acted on this suggestion, and sailed in 1 few hours after tie had received my communication, anti returned on the 17th, having spoken with an English vessel who had had intercourse with the brig of war, an' learnt that she was a privateer belonging to Buenos Ayres' without any hostile intention towards our flag His Majesty's packet brig Goldfinch has ar rived with a No'rth American mail. She sailed from Halifax on the 17th September, and brine letters and papers to that date. They are en' tirely devoid of interest. Papers from Prince Edward':.. Island, to the 12th September, have been received by the same opportunity, but they are also barren of news. The crops in the Province are stated to be of a most cheering nature ; the quantity of hay cut this year exceeds all belief,- -- a small piece of land, on which not more than five tons were cut last year, has this year prodir ced 16 ; and the produce of other parts o f the Province was still greater. The building of the ~ N ew Brunswick Theatre," in Goodman's Fields, under the direc ti on of U r. . Whitwell, is proceeding rapidly.

Ty e next Assembly is under the patronage of Lady Emma Edr eunabe, when the Marchioness of Londonderry an d o ther noble personages will be present.—Exeter Alfred. ROBBERY.—Last night, about nine o'eloci, a young fellow, dressed as a mechanic, rushed into the she of Mr. Alderson, linen-draper, Tottenham-court -road, and snatching a shawl from off the counter, darted into Cbr vies-street with his booty : a hue and cry being raised, th e fellow was pursued and ultimately stopped by a watcbma ls at the corner of Thornhaugh_street, who caught him in his arms. Carter, one of the Bow-street patrol, cornia up at the time, secured the fellow, and placed him in tV watch house. INSTINCTIVE ANIMOSITY TO THE UNFOO° runtierE.—There is a feeling in nature affecting even the 'instinct, as it is called, .of dumb animals, which teal e% them to fly from misfortune. The deer will butt a sick o f wounded buck from the herd ; hurt a deg, and the who le kennell will fall on him and worry him; fishes devour the'` Own kind when they are wounded with a spear ; cut '` crow's wing, or break his leg, the others will buffet it t° death....
