REVOLUTION AT NiADEIRA. The followlig private communication from a most respectable quarter, contains rather a fuller account of this event thart any that appeared in the Morning Papers, and completely negatives the assertion of an article in The Neu , Times, that the Covernor was compelled to proclaim the new Constitution : " MADEIRA, JAN. 31.—Since --- sailed great changes have taken place ; for on Sunday the 28th inst. the new Constitution was pro claimed here, and, thank God, without the feast disagreeable circumstance having occurred, al though appearances Were very alarming to those who were not aware how matters were intended to be conducted. In the morning early the bat talions were drawn up with arms and field pieces round the Xeferis or Fountain by St. FRA NCISCO, and the proclaiming the new Constitution was brought about by five Deputies waiting on the Governor with a representation from the inhabi tants in favour of it ; the Governor acquiesced, the Authorities, and the Jues de Pero were call- 1 ed : and at a little before 12 o'clock, the Go=, vernor, with the Brigadier, and all the Military Officers, appeared on the embrasured of the Castle over the Terreiro da Se', and the Consti tution was proclaimed amidst the shouts of se veral thousands. The Battalion fired 21 guns, and all the Forts saluted. After this, the Go vernor, joined by Joao A CARVALIIAL came out of the Castle, and, amidst the joyful shouts of the inhabitants, proceeded to the Cathedral, Te Deum was sung. From thence they Proceeded to the Camera, where they remained until five o'clock, taking the oaths. The Bishop was obliged to appear—all work has ceased until t4-day, for nothing but crowds could be met with in the streets, with music and flags, shouting Viva Don Joao seisto e a Constituigao !" and although many were intoxicated with wine and enthusiasm, not one accident or quarrel took Place. The town has been illuminated these three nights, and the Theatres open ; many verses, expressive of the public feeling and exult ation, rehearsed in the Theatres, and the Ladies from the boxes sung a new Constitutional Hymn. The house well lighted, excessively full, the Ladies elegantly dressed, and the waving of white handkerchiefs—the scene was rendered really beautiful and most interesting. Our Go vernor, who was always well liked, has now, frum Iti3 prudent conduct, gained the full conti -dence and esteem of all the Inhabitants; and from the manner in which this business was B rought about, has certainly fully exonerated him self from the possibility of the least blame being 'imputed to him by his Sovereign, although there 4 *ms little doubt but that he has accepted the Constitution. I have given you a very short and Laity account of what has taken place, not hav . lug time to do more, for the Anderinta, which was not to have sailed until the 3d of February, is to be most suddenly sent off for Lisboa in about three hours." [From The Times.] is MAnttnA, JAN. 31.—An event has occurred Here Which we trust in God-will have a.beneficial 4 ffect'on this little island, and secure to us more justice than we have, unfortunately, hitherto ex ' Ptrienced. I allude to the adoption of a consti tutional form of Government, than which no event +•Guld have been more sudden and unexpected. On Sunday, the 28th instant, about noon, a de- Putation, consisting of the following persons, viz. Signor Vizen, Siguor Medina (Albuquerque), tseorelo, and Morgado Diego d'Ornallas, enter , ed the Castle, and demanded an interview with Me Governor-General, to whom they expressed themselves authorised to intimate the general liish of the inhabitants f;,;• a Constitution similar to that established at Lisbon. The deputation lilad been encei:...-aged to this bold measure by hay , preyiwasly obtained the signatures of near ' 5 3 of tae principal inhabitants to a declaration bi4‘.... I (tz them to share all the consequences of the rtoposition. The demand made by the dept tation appears also to have obtained the genera Concurrence of the soldiery, as, during their visit to tlae C overn or, the militia, though without arms, veTe all drawn up on the public walk, and a few Companies of the regulars were stationed, with cannon, in' the Chafaris, an open space opposite to the Governor's residence. An immense con course of people was also collected, who were waiting with much anxiety the result of the con ference. They were not suffered to remain long in suspence, for the members, of tke deputation Loon appeared on the walls, accompanied by the Governor and his principal officers, and the de sired Constitution was immediately proclaimed. All instantly gave a loose to joy ; no work was allowed to be, done for three days, and the most general satisfaction was diffused among the public ; enmities of many years' standing were made up, the theatres opened, and every house illuminated. - The enthusiasm manifested in the theatres has been peculiarly striking,and was not a little heightened by the ladies present, who all united their voices from the boxes in the national • hymn. The schooner Andorinha proceeds im mediately for Lisbon, with an embassy from this • Government, to apprize the new Administration that the Constitution has also been proclaimed in this Island," PRIVATE AND AUTHENTrr.," COaREBPONDENCE PARIS, FEB. 26.—The discussion respecting the payment of the first fifth of the Recormois- Ances de liquidation, or, as you call it, Veferred Stock, skew to what miserable shifts the Party is reduce& They continually abuse Government for not keeping faith with the Public, and now they reproach it with doing so. The first De ferred Stock was dated 22d of March, 1816, pay able in five years. Government prepares to pay it to the hour, viz. 22d of March, 1821. . What say the Liberals, the great M. LAFITTE, M. MA NOEL, and M. CAstmia. PERRIER. ? Why, that if it be paid any tinie before the end of the year, it is time enough ! Had Government declared such to be its opinion, what fine discources we should have had about the false promises of Government. What would M. LAFITEE say if he had taken a bill, dated 22d March, 1816, payable in five years, and were told on the ,22d March, 1821, that it was not due on that day more than any other day between the 22d of March and 31st of • December ?—There is, we learn, some misunder standing between the two Governments of France and Spain—we hope they will be recon ciled ; but great events are on the tapis, and it is not impossible that the affairs of Spain and Naples may put all Europe in Commotion. — Really when we consider every thing that passes, one is tempted to be of MARAT'S opinion :• the hydra of the Revolution is amasingly springing up, and the paternal Government of Louis is too weak to destroy it. Vigour is wanting ; the Laws are inefficient, strong as they are conceived to be, and unjustly severe as they are pretended to be by the Liberal Faction. Nothing but vi gour and resolution can put down this turbulent spirit.—Last night the faubourg St. Jacques was in an uproar : a numerous armed mob paraded the streets, uttering seditious cries, and throwing about the tri-coloured cockade. The Liberals, no doubt, think all this very fine, for they regard nothing unconstitutional but the efforts of Go vernment to repress their excesses ; even M. de CONSTANT wishes to violate the Constitution, and conceal treason, because he is a Member of Par liament. This will produce a discussion very important in its nature.—We learn that the Aus trians have already entered the Neapolitan terri tories, and are, perhaps, at this hour at Naples. NAPLES, FEB. 10. Altl.ingh the letter of the King has produced much agitation in the city, the effect on the whole is not so great as might have been expected. Perfect tranquillity is every where preserved ; but you do not meet an individual who is not venting execrations against the Austrians. The Parliament is now sitting in delibera tion on the King's letter ; and such is the general anxiety to know the result, that the streets leading to the Parliament House, are rendered completely impassable by the crotvds who are waiting for the decision. There can be no doubt that war will be resolved on. It is generally believed, indeed, that secret orders have been already sent off to the frontiers to pre pare the army for immediate action. I under stand a telegraphic order has been sent to Sicily for the immediate embarkation of the whole of the garrison of Palermo, consisting of about 10,000 men, who are to reinforce without delay the army on the frontiers ; and this alone proves the determination of the Parliament to make every exertion for the defence of the Country. The removal of the troops from Palermo will, however, it is feared, be productive of se rious disturbances in that capital, as it is owing to the strong garrisons placed there that its tran quility has been preserved for the last few months. The Ferdinand First, one of our line of battle ships, took fire in tl►e mole on the n►ght of the Sth, and is nearly burnt to the water's edge. She was not employed, but was to be broken up and sold. The remainder of the squadron was saved by the activity and zeal of the boats from the British fleet. Had not the wind been off the land, considerable damage must have been done to the merchant shipping ; as it is, they have all escaped. It is not known whether the fire arose from accident or design." SHIP NEWS. DEAL, MARCH I.—Put back last night the Liverpool packet, Coffin, for Cowes and the East Indies ; she has sailed again to-day. Arrived and sailed for the River the New Fre derick, Randall, . from , Cadiz ; Betsy, Cargill, from Lisbon Britannia, Nield, from Liverpool, and several more—particulars unknown. Arrived - and remain his Majesty's ship Grecian from the westward. The Kent Indiaman, Wye, sloop of war, and two other ships, are turning down through the Gulls for the Downs. I-LiatwicH, 11IARo.r I.—Arrivecl the Castlereagh packet front Cuxhaven ; and Jane, ditto, from Gottenburgh—cacti with a mail. Sailed the Duncan packet for Cuxhaven ' • and Henry, Freeling, ditto, for Holland—;-both with mails. The Castle reagh reports that ships cannot reach Hamburgh for the ice, and when she left Cuxhaven it was freezing very hard. FALMOUTH, FEB. 27.—Arrived the Duke of Kent packet (1), with a mail from Lisbon, in 15 days ; Quintillian, Ruther ford, from Bourdeaux for London ; Swift, bales , from Op orto for Poole • and Isabella, Gregson, from - London for Bourdea ux. The Amiable Fanny, from Leghorn, was totally lost at Magallon, Bth January, during a violent gale. The Prosperity,. Payne, from Dublin, arrived at Lisbon the 15th ult. very leak, and with loss of bulwarks, sails, &c. The Margaret, Harris, from Cadiz, arrived at Lisbon the 15th ult. very leaky, and with loss of bulwarks, sails, &c. The Lively, M'Namara, from Newfoundland, is arrived at Lisbon, with much damage, and part of her cargo thrown overboard. At the Levee on Friday last a Petition from the House of Assembly of Jamaica, was present ed to his MAJESTY by Mr. G. HIBBERT, Agent for the Island, accompanied by Messrs. C. ELLIS, G. W. TAYLOR and W. DICKENSON, Members of the House of Commons. The Petition repre sents in expressive terms the state of extreme distress to which Jamaica and the old British West India Colonies generally are reduced, by the inadequate returns which their staple com modities obtain at market,'owing to burthensome duties, oppressive regulations, and to the advan tages which rival Colonies and possessions enjoy, unfettered by the restrictions of our Colonial system. The prayer of the Assembly is, that his MAJESTY will be graciously pleased to extend to them that protection, both immediate and per manent, which their earnest representations have hitherto failed to obtain. CONCERT AT THE MAN' lON HOUSE. This Concert, which was announced to be held for the benevolent purpose of assisting the Royal Institution for the Education of 1000 Boys and 500 Fernale Children, and which her MA- JtSTY had graciously signified her intention of honouring with her presence, look place last night at the Mansion House. The grand Egyp tian Hall was superbly fitted up and illuminated for the occasion. Her MAJFs rY arrived at a quarter before seven o'clock, and was received at the entrance of the Mansion House by the Gentlemen who composed the QUEEN'S Commit tee, when she went to St. Paul's Cathedral. Her tJEsTY, accompanied by Ladies ANNE HA MILTON and Hoop, were ushered into the Ladies' Committee Room, where she partook of some refreshment. At seven o'clock she proceeded to the Concert Room, and was met at the en trance of the Egyptian Hall by the Loan MAyon, who had the honour of conducting her to a magnificent seat, surmounted with a canopy, which had been prepared to receive her. Among the company immediately surrounding ter MA - - -TESTY we noticed the following distinguished personages : The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, and the Lady Mayoress ; his Grace the Duke of Leinster ; Sir H. 1 7 e•I•gusson, M.P. ; Mr. Creevey, M.P. ; Mr. Samuel Whitbread, I%IP. ; Mr. Western, M.P. ; Mr. Tennyson, M.P. and Lady ; Sir Win. De Cres pigny; M.P. ; Mr. Scudamore, M.P. ; Mr. flume, M.P. ; Mn Martin, M.P. and family ; Mr, Sykes, M.P. and Lady ; Mr. Crompton, M.P. ; Sir G. Noel, M.P. 'Mr. Moore, M.P. • Mr. Honywood, M.P. and Lady:: Sir,John Aubrey, Bart. M.P. and family ; Mr. Palmer, ALP. ; 4r. Monek, M.P. ; Mr. Gordon, M.P. and Lady ; Mr. Wm. Williams, M.P. and family ; Mr. Denman, M.P. and family ; Mr. Pares, 111. P. Mr. Wilde and Lady ; Viscount Milton, M.P. • Her MAJESTY was received by the company, which consisted of upwards of 2000 persons, and presented a brilliant assemblage of fashion end beauty, with the warmest expressions of affection and respect. She appeared to be in excellent health and spirits, and to be highly gratified with the performances. In the First Part a beautiful Fantasia from HuyDizEr. was performed by Mr. NEATE, with peculiar brilliancy ; and the Duet of " Quell' ochirtto," from EIORAYANTI, was sung with great effect by Mad. CAMPORESE and AMBROGETTI. A new Trio, by Mr. BODDsI, was introduced in the second part, but we do not think it entitled to rank among the happiest productions of that ingenious composer. Her MAJESTY appeared to be much pleased with the eccentricities of AMBROGETTI, in the Comic Duet of" Do re mi fa." Miss STEenENs was to have been present, but was prevented, we understand, by sudden indisposition from having the honour of attending. Her MAJESTY was conducted from the Hall by the LORD MAYOR, and entered her carriage amidst the acclamations of the assem bled multitude. Within a quarterof ten the Con cert concluded, when her MAJESTY rose and bowed most courteously to the audience, and was conducted to a room prepared for her reception. The same tokens of approbation that were dis played on her entrance attended her departure. The QUEEN passed THE SUN Office at a guar., ter before eleven o'clock last night, on•her return from the Mansion House. There were but three carriages, one containing her MAJESTY, and the others her suite. The carriages passed quietly along, and no more notice was taken ski .them than if they had not been expected. THE THEATRL—The Opera of Love in a Village was last night attended by a numerous audience at Drury-lane Theatre. The chief attraction was Miss NN usoN, in the part of Rosetta. This part, in playful archness, differs so much from the lofty character of Mundane, that it required no ordinary merit to sustain both with propriety in the acting. Miss WiLsos succeeded much better than could reasonably be expected, considering her brief practice on the stage. The songs she gave with her usual excel lence, and was encored in several. BRAHAM was Hawthorn, and though his figure hardly cor responds with that of a supposed rustic sports man, yet he sustained it with spirit, and gave the songs with humour, particularly one composed by Mr. PARRY, " Sweet among the waving trees." Young Meadwzs, by 14°11N, Lucinda, by Miss POVEY, and the zest of the characters, were sup ported in such a manner as to give spirit and :humour to the general effect. ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE.-Mr. MATHEWS re ceived a brilliant and crowded audience " At Home" last night, for the first time in the pre sent season.—We were glad to witness the re vival of his first series of performances called " Mwl Coach Adventures," as they are decidedly superior to the rest. His peculiar talent for ob serving and imitating nature, in all her eccen tricities or extravagancies, has never since met with incidents so well adapted to his purpose. The " Hypochondriac" afforded an opportunity for the display of his amusing powers of ven triloquism ; to which part of his performance he has added considerably, and with very great effect. The conversation with the child in the box frequently called forth the loudest bursts of applause from all parts, of the house. The Old Scotch Woman, with her anecdote, was welcomed as an established acquaintance, and her task was never performed with more humour, or with a more irresistible demand upon the risible ex ertions of the audience. The different songs.had also their share in keeping the house in.continual merriment. The performances closed with some imitations of various tragic and comic actors, which were remarkable for their true resemblance to the originals. DIAMOND.,._ An' extraordinary large Diamond belonging to the Hon.-East, ludia Company, has been recently received from India ; it is deno minated the Nassuck Diamond, and was taken with the baggage from the. Peishwa of the• MAR- It ATTAS. It Weighs 358 grains, or 891 carets. Its shape is triangular. Mr. MAwE (who visited . the Diamond District of Brazil), has, through the favour of the Chairman, modelled it. He thinks the form, when rough, was an irregular octohe dron, and has been cut into . " its present shape to p rese rve its size and weight. It is of the finest water, and the largest Diamond that has appear ed i n .Europe, - except the Pitt•Diamontl, and one belonging to the Ernpe . rot of RUSSIA. • POETRY. THE RETORT, COURTEOUS. From a tavern came forth, where the wine had been heady, IS'ith a face rather flush'el, and feet rather unsteady, Hit Lordship went swagg'ring and staggring along, And now vented a curse, and now inutter'd a song. Soon agay, Irish fiddler he met, on whom beer Had the self-same effect as Champagne on the Peer. .. It would seem they were known to each other ; for Pat, After many attempts, put his hand to his hat. " Zounds," his Lordship exclaim'd, and laugli'd loud as he spoke,. Neas'd from out the old saying to make a bad joke, By those ellks, that look red as, the sun in a fog, " You're as drunk as a fiddler,. you profligate dog " Nay," bur Orpheus replied, for, like death, will the revel Of drunkenness bring all the world to a level— " There'i a proverb far more with my state to accord ; " Please Your Lordship, I'm almost as drunk as a Lord !" tiusll sordcuoßs. A BILL to ekplain and amend an ACT of the PARLIA MENT of IRELAND, passed in the Seventh Year of the Reign of his Majesty Ring GEORGII!: the Second, for be:ter Regulating the PAYMENT of •FEES of ATTORNIES - - and SOLICITORS, and other purposes therein-mentioned. Whereas by an Act passed in the Parliament of Ireland, in the seventh year of his Majesty King George the Second, inti tuled, " An Act for the relief of Mortgagees, and for making the process in Courts of Equity more effectual against Mort " gagors who abscond, and cannot be _served therewith, and " against persons who being served refuse to appear; and, also " for better regulating the Payment of the Fees of Attornies " and Solicitors ;" it was amongst other things provided, That no Attorney or Solicitor should commence or maintain any ac tion or suit for the recovery of any fees, charges or disburSe ments, at law or in equity, until the expiration of one month or more after such Attorney or Solicitor respectively should have delivered unto the party or parties to be charged there with, or left for him, her, or therq, at his, her, or their dwel ling-house, or last place of abode, a bill of such fees, charges, and. di s bursements, written in words at length, except times and sums. And whereas the said provision bath been found inconve nient ; and it is just and reasonable that the law of Ireland should, with respect to the mode of writing such Bills of Costs, be assimilated to the law of England. Be it therefore enacted, by the King'..; Most Excellent Ma jesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiri tual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same,. That from and after it shall and may be lawful to and for every Attorney, Clerk in Court, and Solici tor in Ireland, to write his Bills of Fees, Charges and Disburse ments, with such Abbreviations as are now commonly used in the English language, any thing in any former law to the con trary notwithstanding. Demerara Papers to.a. late date have come to hand. They contai❑ the triennial Report of JAMES ROBERTSON, Esq. Slave Registrar for the United Colonies of Demerara and Essequibo, made by order of his Excellency the Governor, of which the following is an extract : Males. Females. Africans 24,526 Creoles Ditto of other Colonies... 2,005 42,989 33,940 Total, males and females, 76,929, which includes the births during the last three years, amounting to 4817. Since the last triennial report in 1817, there has bee n an increase of 763 males and 977 females. The births are reckoned as one to 46. There are now upon the Island twelves slaves, between the ages of 90 and 100, and three between 100 and 110. - ANECDOTE OF JAMES THE FIRST.—When this Monarch wary on his route from Scotland to ascend the Throne of England, he passed a day and night at Lumley Castle, the seat of the Earl of Scarborough. In the course of the even ing his Lordship mentioned his very ancient genealogy, and dwelt so long on his ancestry, that the King, finding the subject un peu-eunu oant with his wonted dry sarcastic manner, stopped his Lordship short, by saying, " My Lord, dinna go any further, for I didna ken be fore that Adam's surname was Lumley." MYSTERIOUS CIRCUDISTANCE.—,-ThiS morning, between six and seven o'clock, as some workmen were going to their employ in the neighbourhood of White Conduit House, they discovered- the bonnet and cloak of a female,' a short dis tance from the bank of the canal, between Is lington Church and Kingsland-road ; the cloak is, of a greyish colour, and the bonnet is made of straw, with light blue ribbons. A note was pinned to the cloak, with the initials " I. K." — In the inside the following words were written, evidently by some female :—" Farewell ; I a - rn happy." —Nothing has yet transpired to afford the means of discovering any clue that can lead to finding out the person to whom they belonged.— A young woman, in a similar dress, was seen walking near the spot where they' were found, on Wednesday evening, between five and six o'clock, and it is conjectured they must have belonged to her, but the men that first dis covered them are in the habit of passing the same read every morning, and they did not see them yesterday, consequently they must have been placed there in the course of last night.— The circumstance has created a considerable sen sation in that part of the metropolis. Murtemt.—Robert Humphrey, of •Hinckley, in this county, was found early on Monday morn ing murdered near to the , Harrow Inn. He had been with a brother-in-law from - Leicester, with two Grey Hounds, to a Gentleman's house, near Atherstone, in Warwickshire, and on their return it appears he was a good deal fatigued, and repeatedly sat down to lest himself on the road side ; when near the Harrow Inn his brother left him and proceeded to that Public House, where he partook of some ale, and waited for him a con siderable time, but not arriving,'he proceeded on to Hinckley, where he slept on Sunday evening, and early on Monday morning set off fel. Lei cester. In about_ two hours after he reach ed his home, a Constable arrived from Hinck ley, stating, that the man he was in company with the day before had been found that morning in a field near the Harrow Inn, (on the side nearest to Hinckley) quite dead, and dread fully bruised in different parts of his body, with nothing on but his shirt, which was stript over his head, and hung to him by his wrists ; his clothes were scattered in different parts of the field. The whole of this diaboli cal transaction is at present wrapt up in much mystery. His half-boots, which were missing, have been traced in the possession of a pri vate soldier, on furlough at Hinckley, and who cannot give any satisfactory information as to how they came into his possession.—(Leicester Jour.)' MR. SCOTT. CdlioNcn,'s INQu ET.—Yesterday evening, ai seven o'clock, an inquest, was held at Chalk Farm House, before TnoNAs STIRLING, EN. Coroner for Middlesex, on the body of John Scott, Esq. aged 40, who was mortally wounded in the late duel nearthatFarm. The first witttess.examined was the Carpenter who provided the shutter, on which the deceased was carried from the field to Chalk Farm Itouse after he was wounded. He knew nothing of thfr, persons concerned ire the duel. All that ,he could say was, that when he went to the field he. saw,- four pr live Gentlemen standing near the body.pf the deceased, Who ; on being. placed on the . , slut ter; shook hands with the Gentleman whO had shot him, and wished him good-night. The circumstances of this lamentable case are already before the public. The ostler belonging to Chalk Farm Tavern saw most what took place. Two Gentlemen called at the Tavern on the night of the duel, a short time before it took place, and called for a bottle of wine and two glasses of negus, they drank and paid fbr; leaving the two. last part,. ly unfinished, observing that they would rcturn in a few moments. These two, the ostler suspects to have been Mr. Christie and his friend. Sus pecting that all was not right, he followed them down as far as the hundred-yard stone._ and per ceiving then that they took a directiOri to lead them off the Farm, he went no farther. On his return he encountered two other Gentlemen, who inquired if he had seen any persons . going through the fields, and he pointed out to them the way they went. Qn his return he heard the 'report of a pistol; which confirmed his suspicions ; but before he could well determine what to do, a second shot was fired. One of the Gentlemen re turned for assistance, saying his friend had met with an accident. They took a. shutter, and found the deceased .lying on his hack, covered with a coat and a military cloak. The parties were 40 yards distant from him, conversing together. On arriving at the farm-house; Mr. Scott displayed symptoms of the most acute agony. The feelings of Mr. Christie were not less acutely painful ; he repeatedly expresied a wish that he was hi that situation instead of Mr. Scott. • The Landlord of the Tavern gave similar tes timony to that of the carpenter and the ostler. Dr. George Darling's testimony was important. lie attended the deceased frequently, and attri butes his death to the wound which he received. —Witness referred to a memorandum which he made of what Mr. Scott said to him. Mr. Scott, referring to his wound on Saturday morn ing,.between nine and ten o'clock, said, " This ought not to have taken place ; I suspect some great mismanagement—there was no occasion fur a second fire." After a short pause he proceed ed—" All I required from Mr. Christie was a declaration that he meant no reflection on my character. This he refused, and the meeting became inevitable. On the field Mr. Christie be haved well ; and when all was ready for the first tire, he called out—` Scott, you must not stand there, I see your head above the horizon, you give me an advantage.' I believe he could have hit me then if he liked. After the pistols were reloaded and every thing ready for a second fire r Mr. Trail called out—" Now Mr. Christie, take your aim, and do not throw away your advantage as you did last time.' I called out immediately, 4 What ! did not Mr. Christie fire at me i' I was answered by Mr. Pattmore, You must not speak ; 'tis now of no use to talk ; you have nothing now for it but firing.' I'he signal was im mediately given, we fired, and I fell." Does net know Mr. Christie or Mr. Trail's Christian name. Deceased expressed himself satisfied with Mr. Christie's conduct, whom he described as very kind to him after he was wounded. Mr. Pettigrew attended deceased on the day after lie was wounded. John James Gurline, surgeon, proved, that he extracted the ball, and in every other respect confirmed the testimony of Dr. Darling, as did also Dr. Pointer, who was the first medical per son called in to attend Mr. Scott. At till; stage of the business, there being n,) other witness present at one o'clock, the Coronet aid Jury proceeded to view the body, and after wards adjourned to lalf-past five o'clock this day. . The Sheffield 31 - ercuisj says, it is with ',heart felt satisfaction that we obtain, from - va rious sources of information, the gratifying intel ligence of the improvement . which has taken } , ?ace in the unmufacturing affairs of this town ; and, though the increased demand for cut lery, hardware, &C. may not be equal to the additional one that is made for articles of a 'less durable quality, yet we have reason to. think that the amount of • goods manufactured in thii plate has not been exceeded at any former period. A melancholy circumstance occurred on Thurs day night at Chatham, Mr. GARVENER, one of the sub-measurers of the Dock-yard, on 11;3 Way home to Chatham-hill, fell into the trench, near the Sallyport, through which he was Ipt by the centinel late in the evening ; he was found dead in the morning and shockingly lac'erited. Part of the family had been, seeking Um . all the night, and in the morning had to witness, tho . mi serable catastrophe that . had happened.--.-.(Ken tisit Ga:ette, Peb. 27.)
