Indeed, the fo rmidable '4:larati ons made by France on the frontier, ti 4 t he corresponding exertions ma de in S p ain t d ace that country in a posture of defence, e it ° themselves strong indication s that the ex isl i ng relations of amity between them hang by th re ‘ ad. It is Wrther believed, that, whatever 1111 p be the views of the Court of France now, t s hostile intentions were a very short time since u nequivocal ; and that, in fact, the design to l3t t'vade Spain h a d b een i n discreetly divulged a person co n fid en ti a lly connected with a I ‘ ll ` l enaber a the French Ministry. The important ~ Qc l3 x. et soon became known to the monied circles at , (4.ll °r l'z,ris and London ; and is sufficient to t °l int f o r the first panic which seized the f i °ll q markets of both Capitals. This betrayal th t ile views of France, was, howev er, to sa y tt e least, premature, and it may be tha t circum :flees have since arisen to produce a n entire ia nge in the policy of its Cabinet. I rankfort Papers to the 20th instant have 41stiv ed ; their contents are of little interest. An cittie le in the Austrian Observer, after doing Z' e rY thing in its power to set the af fairs ,of re ece in the most unfavourable point of view, i s c ompelled to own that the Turks, " hav in g / ' r °? -47 n awns their first advantages in the Morea u (141 d hardly make any progress in the interior of that Peninsula !" S ° li l'A FE OF NEW ME X ICO.—(From an American Paper.) - ; i ,' t is becoming familiar for our citizens to visit this capital. ir• Glenn, of Cincinnati, who had a trading house on the Ar „4ll'sus, has just returned, also Mr. Jas. M'Night, who has been a ' l gserrer for a good part of ten years, and his brother Mr. John j '. Xight, who went in search of him upwards of a year ago. Col. : 13 Per, the courageous settler of the Boon's Lick c ountr y , has 2 4 gone out with a numerous company, and othe r s in this town eillplate an early departure. From all that we can learn 4°lll these travellers, the people of Santa and of the inter 11:124ovinces, are exceedingly ignorant, destitute of c ommerce, 4 of all spirit of enterprise. We have heard much of the C tl itY of these countries, and learn additional facts upon t ha t 1 : 44 as curious and astonishing. Mr. Glenn says, there had 11 0 rain at Santa Fe for about three years, and no corn "l4 lit about it, the people irrigating their fields by ditches and cana ls from the river del Norte, and from the streams which iss ued from the high lands and neighbouring mountains.—( St. tows Eng.) Yesterday at two o'clock a Cabinet Council 11 ,1 1 1 e held at the Foreign Office in Downing-street, t t ell was attended by the LORD CHAN CELLOR. °f Westmoreland, Of Harrowby, Earl of Liverp ool, Earl Viscount Sidmouth, Mr. Can -0,4g) Earl Bathurst, the Chancellor of the Ex iequer, Viscount Melville, Mr. Wynn, Mr. I,:hhison, and Mr. Peel. The Cabinet sat till last four. The Cabinet was to have been held let Friday, but was postponed on account of the i ng's holding a Court. It was understood to breaking been summoned by Mr. Canning. At the ! ea king up of the Cabinet, the Earl of Liver root left town for Coombe Wood.

In b -tn th e J ury C our t on Wednesday, on a motion ); the defender's Counsel, the trial of Mr. GlB th v , the Beacon, was postponed till Monda y e 9 th proximo,—(Edinburgh Courant, Nov. 23.) COURT OF KING'S BENCH--(Tilts Day.) JUDGMENT.- - This morning, in the Court of King's Bench, William Anderson, who had pleaded guilty on two indictments for unlaw fully defrauding the inhabitants in the Hamlet of Mile End, Old Town, in his capacity of Sur veyor of the highways in that district, by know ingly omitting to insert several different sums ofl money in his accounts, appeared on the floor of the Court for judgment.—Mr. Justice BAYLEY, after addressing the defendant at some length, passed the following sentence, viz. on the first indictment, that the defendant pay a fine of 3001. to the King, and be imprisoned four calendar months in the House of Correction ; and for the second, a further imprisonment of two calendar months. EXECUTION. This morning, at an early hour, a number of persons assembled in the Old Bailey, to witness the last mo ments of the following unfortunate culprits :—Sain eel Green wood, for highway robbery ; William Reading, Frank Par don, William Watson alias Corbett, and Edward .M•Wilgams, for burglary; and John Roberts, for highway robbery. Four of these wretched beings were convicted at the September Ses sions, and unfortunately for them the whole of their lives have been remarked for nothing else but plunder. Greenwood; who was a remarkablyiine young man, but a most desperate thief, was tried several times at the Old Bailey, out of which he was acquitted three times, and was once capitally convicted, but by very great exertion his life was spared, and after some imprisonmen the was discharged; but on his enlargement he again sought his old haunts, and was taken and committed for trial for a similar offence to that for which he was executed. His usual good for tune then attended him—he was acquitted last September ; but within three days after that acquittal, he was placed at the Bar, and capitally convicted of robbing a sailor on Tower-hill the very night he was discharged from Newgate ; for which crime he underwent the sentence of the law. Reading was one of the gang of burglars who plundered the house of Mr. Westwood, in Princes-street, Soho, of jewellery to the amount of 2,0001., of which was only recovered four gold pins, value 7s. lid.: The prisoner had them, and a sovereign of Mr. Westwood's, about him when taken. Pardon and Watson were the terror of the neighbourhood of Wapping, where they lived : they and two others were caught committing a burglary in IVhite's-court, Rosemary-lane. The cases of the others were only remarked by desperate and ruffianly conduct. Since the conviction of these wretched men, they have con ducted themselves in a manner befitting their awful situation ; and when the order for their execution arrived, they received the distressing intelligence with some composure, although Reading was much affected. They attended the condemned sermon on Sunday, and have been loud and sincere in their ejaculations of prayer : They all admitted the justness of their sentence, and were apparently most penitent, particularly Green wood—he constantly was at prayers. The SHE R IFF arrived at the prison at about eight o'clock, and instantly proceeded to the press-room, where Reading, on, being disencumbered of his irons, was bound. This unfortunate man displayed the utmost composure, and calm ness he was constantly at prayers; being a Catholic, he was attended by Ml'. DE VEREux. Purdon was then intro duced ; he solemnly denied the robbery, or being in any way connected in it. Watson spoke to the same effect. They con tinued \i• this declaration to the last. M'Williams, Roberts, and Greenwood were then brought in ; M'Williams was very composed• The dreadful preparations for death being com pleted, the culprits advanced to the scaffold, and ascended in the rotation with which they came into the press-yard. After a few moments spent in prayer the drop fell, and they were launched into eternity. An immense concourse of persons assembled. RAAISGATE, Nov. 25.—IES MAJESTY'S steam packet Dasher arrived this afternoon from Calais, with the mail and 64 passengers, and four carriages upon deck. Mr. LAcx, the King's messenger, came over by this conveyance, and immediately set off for the metropolis. He is from Turin, and left Paris on Saturday at midnight, where he reports " all was well ;" and a gentleman, whose information may be relied on, likewise by the Dasher, states, that he saw the King of FRANCE taking an airing on the Boulevards in his carriage at noon on Saturday, in apparent good health. Miss WICKHAM, the rich heiress, was among the passengers by this arrival. RALPH SHELDON, ESQ. M.P.—We are sorry to announce the death of this Gentleman. He died last week at his seat in Oxfordshire. Ile had been a very handsome man, and was a striking example of the true English Gentleman, in spirit, intelligence, and independence. Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Smyrna, dated the 17th of October :—" By the latest authentic accounts the Turkish fleet was at Napoli di Romania, and the Greek force stationed at a few miles distant from them, with out any rencontre having ensued. The Turkish forces in the Morea are said to have retired back on Argos from want of provisions : but ,there does not appear to have been any fighting in that quarter worthy of notice." TRADE.—The internal trade of the country (at all times its chief bulwark) in various articles of our principal manufactories, is, we are happy to learn, lately much altered for the better, and daily improving under auspicious prospects for greater activity and profit. This improve ment the agricultural interests must soon and profitably feel.—The demand from the Continent for goods is considerable, and for cotton yarn, great and increasing. The spin ning is at present a flourishing trade. In short, appearances are very favourable for a good winter trade, instead of a stagnation , as was at one time seriously apprehended. There is no lack of employment at ordinary, and even at good wages, while the low rate of provisions keeps the manufacturing population in a more comfortable situation than they have been for many years.-- (Chester Courant, Nov. 26.) The ancient vessel lately dug out of the bank of the Royal Channel, was on Saturday placed within an inclosure on the right hand of the road leading from Waterloo-bridge to the Coburg Theatre. It was mounted on two strong timber tugs, and completely covered with coarse can vass, to preserve it from the gratuitous inspection on its way thither. The numerous groups which collected round the spot were informed that it would be publicly exhibited in the course of this week. The Chester Choral Society is at last insti tuted, and nearly forty members have enrolled their names. This must give much satisfaction to every lover of music ; and in a moral point of view also, it has long been a great deside- ratum. A pupil of Mr. BISHOP, of the name of LATI, KINS, is engaged at Covent-Garden. Theatrical report states that he is possessed of a peculiarly fine voice, and that he is capable of sustaining the principal characters in Operas. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. The Earl of Mexborough, in Dover-street ; Lord Melbourne, from Brighton ; Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Smith, in Sack ville-street, from Paris ; Sir Thomas and Lady Webb, at Greillon's Hotel; Charles Steuart, Esq. at Blake's Hotel, Jer myn-street ; Baron and Baroness Browne Mill, and family, at Gray's Hotel, from the Continent; Monsieur anti Madame Talaniers, at Blake's Hotel, from Paris ; Mr. and Mrs .

Bennett, M.P. from ditto, for Staf fordshire. Great preparations have been made at Croome, the noble seat of the Earl and Countess of Coventry, for the reception of his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, who is expected, with a party, this day. The first Blackheath Assembly for the season was held on Monday last, at the Green Man. The tort ensemble consisted chiefly of the Fashionables with which that neighbourhood abounds ;• never was more elegance and grace displayed, nor the spirit of dancing kept up with greater Mat. Most of the Officers of the Royal Artillery and 72d Regiment were present. P 0 E T It Y. • TIIE SOLDIER'S FUNERAL. , And the .muflkd drum rolled on the air, IVarriors with sately step were there ; On every arm was the black crape bound, Every carbine was turned to the ground; Solemn the sound of their measured tread, As silent and slow they followed the dead. The riderless horse was led in the rear, There were white plumes waving over the bier: Helmet and plumes were laid on the pall, For it was a Soldier's funeral.— That Soldier had stood on the battle-plain, Where every step was over the slain ; But the brand and the ball had passed him by, And lie came to his native land to die. 'Twas hard to come to that native land, And not clasp one familiar hand ! 'Twas hard to be numbered amid the dead, Or ere he could hear his welcome said ! But •'twas something to see its cliff's once more, And to lay his bones on his own lov'd shore ; To think that the friends of his youth might weep O'er the green grass turf of the soldier's sleep ! The bugles ceased their wailing sound As the coffin was lowered into the ground; A volley was fired, a blessing said, One moment's pause—and they left the dead ! I saw a poor and an aged man, His step was feehle, his lip was wan : He knelt him down on the new raised mound, His face was bowed on the cold damp ground, He raised his head, his tears were done, — The Father had prayed o'er his only Son ! MISS BRUNTON'S Benefit at the Royal West London Theatre, on Monday last, was a bumper, a due tribute to her merit, which is of a very su perior kind.—The Play was The School fot Scandal. Her Lady Teazle was admirable ; and BauwroN's Charles was a very spirited perform ance. Both would have been highly creditable to any Theatre. Miss BatiNTox afterwards dis played the strength and versatility of her talents in the dramatic sketch, entitled The Actress of All-Work, and supported six different characters with so much truth, spirit, and humour, that we may fairly say she has no rival at present on the London Stage, where she ought to possess a conspicuous and permanent station. Mrs. BuNN performed the character of Queen Elizabeth, at the Hull Theatre, on Friday last, with great eclat, to a fashionable and crowded audience, being the 85th time she has played that part in the different leading Provincial Theatres. APOPLEXY AND TIGHT CRAVATS.—The fre quency of apoplectic attacks of late years has caused the subject to be much discussed, and it is pretty well considered amongst the faculty, that the modern style of dressing the neck is the principal cause. In the East, where that article of dress, the cravat, is never used, or the neck even so much as covered, apo- plexy is unknown, or at any rate very rare. We have been constantly ridiculed for wearing those pernicious ligaments, yet still they are per sisted in, and fashion appears to draw them tighter than ever. AN EXCELLENT LANDLORD. —During the past week, CHARLES PUT LAND, Esq., of Fitzwilliam-square, Dublin, paid a visit to his estate, adjoining the town of Tul low in the county Carlow, and calle d a g eneral meeting of all his tenantry. As each man appeared in his pre sence, covered with confusion, and said, " Please your Ho nour, out of the great arrears which I am indebted to your Honour, I am really ashamed .to present your Honour, the , anall sum I now hold in my hand ; but if your Honour would condescend to accept of it, when God sends me the remainder, I will pay you honestly ;--his uniform reply was—" Offer me only what you can afford, and be that ever so trifling, I shall accept of it cheerfully, and when God shall have sent you the remainder, put it into your pocket, or mini ster therewith to the comftirts of your family—you and I shall be clear to this day." To descend to particulars: out of an arrear of sixty pounds he accepte d of five pounds ; out of seventy pounds he received seven ; and out of eighty pounds, only one single pound : and in two or three cases returned some of what had been handed to him, considering, from the ap pearance of the creatures, that they had given beyond their circumstances. He then gave them all receipts in full to the 29th of September last,—made them a further reduction in their rents of full 50 per cent. and assured them that he would never disturb an old industrious tenant. In some in stances he even exceeded that reduction; but fell short of it in not one. What a noble example ! GUY FAWKES.—In no place was the celebra tion of Guy Fawkes kept up with more spirit on the sth of November than at Cuxhaven, in Ger many, the crews of three of our packets lying there, requested permission of the Governor to keep up the old custom according to English fashion, which he readily granted, and requested to see their form of procession. One of the sailors, personated the Old Conspirator, dressed up in all the grotesque forms they could devise, and borne upon the shoulders of his companions, first paid their respects at the Government House, where a good collation and plenty to drink was provided for them, and the affair being explained to the people of the town, they entered most fully into the spirit of it, and money and grog were distributed in profusion. The men col lected upwards of 51., which they shared among themselves. The corpses of two men and one boy, were on Saturday and Sunday week picked up near 'lithe, and an Inquest held on them before JAMES SHIPDEM, Esq. Deputy Mayor. They are sup . - posed to have been the crew of the smack Provi denee, of Deptford, lost off Dymchurch on the previous Friday. i 11.7' -tt mil s . 1 1 or- 4-I 1 4, 7 ~ ~,,r,>il ;* ':" 4( 4„ : " ' ..* • ;41:1 t .

''' t , e , f . ,A BRUTAL CO N D CT OF A BOW-STREET. —Yesterday Ann Francis was brought before the Sitting Magistrates, (THonas lIALLs and 'WILLIAM BECKETT, Esqrs.) charged with having cruelly treated three of her children of the ages of 3,4, and fi whose appearance in the Office bespoke the total neglect of their unnatural parent; they appeared in a deplorable state of filthi ness and starvation. The following depositions were taken :—Cornelius Bower, Beadle of Saint Giles's, stated, that in consequence of informa tion he received from a man named Clipperton. who lodged in the adjoining room to that occupied by the prisoner, he endea voured to gain admittance into her apartment (the back garret of a house situate 40, Great St. Andrew's-street) at about one o'clock yesterday, but he found the door fastened by a pad lock ; and on looking through a hole in th e door, saw three young children lying upon some shavings in a corner of the room ; they were naked, and the only covering they had was a small piece of dirty canvass ; being unwilling to break open the door, he went away, and returned again' at about half-past 3, when the door was fastened on the inside ; he then knocked, and was answered by the prisoner, who told him he could have no business there ; but he eventually succeeded in persuading her to let him in ; the children were still naked, and were cry ing very much; he told the woman to give them some victuals; she fetched some bread from the cupboard, which witness gave to the poor children, and the voracious manner in which they devoured it, convinced him that the information he had re ceived of the cruel conduct of the mother, in starving her chil dren; was not exaggerated : the second time witness went to the prisoner, she was drinking her tea, but she did not offer to give the children any of it: she had a fourth child at her breast, about five months old : the third child, a boy three years of age, is so ill from actual starvation, that it is the opinion of a medical gentleman, who saw him this morning, that he cannot recover. John Clipperton, an army accoutrement maker, said that he had resided in the front garret adjoining the prisoner's room since the Ist of March : the prisoner was then living in the house ; a man lived with her, who was not her husband ; both of them frequently beat the poor children in an unmerci ful manner; they used to go out between eight and nine o'clock in the morning, and return sometimes at three, and frequently at seven, and even ten o'clock at night; during this time the children were left alone in the room, generally without either victuals or fire; their cries were often dread ful ; the key of the padlock which fastened the door was put in a cupboard on the landing-place ;he and his wife frequently opened the door, and gave the children something to eat, but they were themselves very poor, and could spare but little; the woman's brother, a servant out of place, used often to bring them some bread and cheese, but he had not been to the house for many months : the prisoner and her male companion would sometimes have a hot supper, but the children had cried themselves to sleep with empty stomachs, and they never par ticipated in the food of the inhuman and unfeeling wretch who gave them an existence, which she appeared desirous of bringing to an untimely and horrid close. The witness related many interesting but disgusting circumstances, which proved utter depravity and heartlessness of this exception to humanity and maternal affection. The children were fat and healthy when the witness first took the lodgings, but for several weeks they have gradually declined in health, and have now more the appearance of moving skeletons than human beings ; wit ness was fearful of being deemed an oflicious neighbour, or he should have given his information some time since ; he had been in search of work yesterday morning, and on his return home his wife told him that the children had been crying for hours together for food; he went to the door and peeped through the key-hole ; the boy, six years old, said to his sister , fou r years of age, as they were lying on the ground, " Do'nt cry, Sally, we shall have something to eat by and by," which so affected the witness, that he went immediately in search of the Beadle, to whom he related the whole of the particulars. The woman has for some months received parochial assist ance from three different parishes. Mr. HALLS, after expressing himself warmly in deprecation of the unnatural mother, and in praise of the conduct of Clip perton and his wife, said that he would sign an order for the re moval of the woman to her parish, and also for that of the dill siren, and particular directions should be given to the parish officers, in order that proper care should be taken of the poor children, who would require more than ordinary attention in the restoration of their health, if the neglect they had expe rienced had not been continued to a fatal length. Mr. BECKETT fully coincided in the opinion of his worthy brother Magistrate, and the necessary directions were then given to the Clerk, and the woman - and children left the office in the custody of the Beadle of St. Giles's. SCHOOL FOR BLASPHE: The three individuals who were taken into custody, in the Cordiner's Hall, in the Potterrow, on Sunday afternoon, charged with endeavouring to propagate doctrines subversive of religion, were detained in charge of the Sheriff's officers, with whom they resided until the close of the precognition, on Wednesday night, when they were admitted to bail.—(Edin burgh Paper. ) On this subject we find the following remarks in the Scots man We need not say that we regret to find that legal pro ceedings have been commenced in Edinburgh against some So ciety, considered irreligious or bl a sphemous, but of which the existence was known to very few, and certainly not to us, until notoriety was given to it through the dispersion of all its Members, and the apprehension of some - of them by the She riff-Depute and a posse of police-officers. It is unquestion ably matter of very serious regret that individuals should be so misled as to meet for the purpose, as we fear, of teaching infidelity : but we look upon their embracing such opinions —which affect their own happiness—more in the light of a misfortune than a crime ; and .we are quite satisfied that proceedings at law against them will give additional im portance to their views, and disseminate their opinions still further. We have received a letter from a Mr. A. Gray, avowing himself one of the Society, which, lie says, has gone on for more than a year, and which he joined because they excluded no one on account of his sentiments. He declares his belief that the universe is the work of one great, un changeable, incomprehensible power; that the morality of the Gospel is excellent; that sensuality is injurious to happi ness, and that the greatest pleasure is to be derived from pro moting the welfare of others. He complains that the library was seized, the ,pockets' of the members searched, and their papers taken from them ; but , in other respects, he speaks highly of the conduct of Mr. Sheriff Duff, who was mild, can did, and even kind to the three members who were made pri soners from Sunday to Wednesday night. We cannot insert this letter; , but lie says that he believes the Society would have given up holding meetings if they had been told from any re spectable quarter, that they were illegal. What the law of Scotland is, on subjects of this kind, we can hardly venture to say ; but we observe, that in the case of IVaddington, Mr. Justice Bayley said, that " the law allowed men temperately and fairly to discuss the evidences on which our faith rested." Bow-ST R EET.—NEGOCIATIONS WITH TIIIEVES.—Upon this subject, which since the - Ipswich mail affair has been much talked of, Mr. HALLS, the Magistrate, took occasion yesterday to make some strong observations. A Mrs. Seale, in whose house in Rosemary-lane about 1,0001. worth of property, which had been stolen by burglars from the warehouse of a Mr. Emerson, in Watling-street, was found yesterday se'n night, was brought up for re-examination, when Mr. AN nnEws, as Counsel for the prosecution, begged that she might he again remanded to give time to procure further evidence.— Mr. HALLS said, he should not object to delay in a case of so much importance as this. Now, however, that the solicitors on both sides were present (Mr. Isaacs attended for the pri soner), as well as all the parties concerned, he felt de sirous of snaking a remark or two upon another subject.— It had come to his knowledge that of late, where exten sive, and indeed enormous, robberies had been committed, negociations regularly conducted had been entered into" with the robbers for the restoration of the stolen property upon the payment of stipulated sums, and other conditions ; and he was very sorry to add, that men in the profession of the law, or at least practising as such, had lent themselves to these nego ciations, and had been, indeed, the go-between in disgraceful transactions of this kind. There were men who had often been professionally employed in that very office, and been ad mitted as a matter of courtesy to the bench, who had been negotiators between the robbers and the robbed. What was to become of the justice of the country if its course was to be thus obstructed by men wh ose duty it was most peculiarly to aid in its operations ? But let these individuals take care ; for they should not be suffered, as had been the case, to carry about stolen property in their blue bags, and stipulate for the price of its restoration to the lawful owner. Such persons might shelter themselves within the limits of the city, but let them, or any of their clerks or agents, take wire how they did any thing of that sort within his jurisdiction ; for if it came to his knowledge, they might rely upon his pursuing the very severest measures which the law would authorize. He was not to be understsood as ap plying these remarks personally to any individual then present ; they were thrown out generally, and he hoped would be attend ed to. Mrs. Seale must be remanded. To-morrow the prisoners who stand committed on charges of felony will be removed from the several gaols in the city of on don and county of Middlesex to Newgate, preparatory toei taking their trials at ithe next Sessions at Justice-hall, Old Bailey, which will commence on Wednesday next, the 4th of December. The Sessions of the Peace for the county of Mid dlesex will begin at the Sessions' House, on Clerkenwell-green, on Monday next, the 2d December, when the trials of traverses, and others out on bail on matters of assault, nuisance, and mis demeanour, will be proceeded on. (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) As it will be oxpected from us to give an ac count of au unhappy affair of this nature •‘ ,, 'ich ha'; occurred on the bounds of this county and of the county Kilkenny (we believe at a piace called Kilcooly Grange) near Johnstown—we lay before our readers the following extract of a letter which we received yesterday : " K r ilknaule, Nov. 19, 1822. " SIR-I beg leave to report to you, that it itad been agreed to fight a duel at Boulick, near New Birmingham, on Sunday the 10th instant, between Mr. John Shaw, attorney, of Kille naule, and Mr. Win. Cooke, of Pointstown, in the :lan! , vici nage ; but, by au order from Captain Wilson, Chief Magi strate, the parties were pursued and put to the route by a de tachment of Police from Killenaule, under the direction of Mr. Morgan, Chief Constable, who followed them about 30 mil;:>s. " On die day following Mr. Morgan received information that the parties were to meet at the Church of Frennor, near the bounds of the counties of Tipperary . and Kilkenny, early next morning; but he and the Police having arrived at the appointed place before day-light appeared, the duellists were obliged to change their-ground again, and proceeded to Ballynure, where they were a third time prevented from fighting by the Police, who kept a good look-out after them. " Here the business rested for awhile, one of the parties hav ing gone upon professional business to Dublin ; but it being un derstood that on Monday the 18th inst. they were to fight atAb beyleix, in the Queen's County, through the exertions of Lord De Vesci, they were bound over to keep the peace, when the aforesaid parties proceeded to the hounds of the counties of Tipperary and Kilkenny on the said Monday the 18th November instant, where they fought, and Mr. Shaw, I regret to inform you, receive a ball in his right temple, where it remains : Mr. Shaw is not yet dead, but no hopes are entertained of his re covery, though attended by surgeons Hemphill, Going, Ryan, and Kelly." The above letter from our obliging correspondent does not in form us who were the seconds on this unfortunate occasion ; but we understand Mr. John Miller was the second of Mr. Shaw, and Mr. N.

The brig George, Capt. John 316Alpin, sailed from Quebec, with a cargo of timber, for Greenock, on the 12th of September last, with a crew consisting of nine persons, besides three pas sengers. Early in the morning of the Gth of October, she was overtaken by a violent storm, which continued without inter mission during the day ; towards sunset the gale increased, and the vessel became quite unmanageable. At svo o'clock the fol lowing morning a tremendous sea broke over her, and swept away three of her best hands, with the companion, binnacle, a cable and boom, and greatly damaged the hull : all hands were then called to the pump, but only three were able to tender any as sistance. At six o'clockthey found the vessel to be water-logged ; nothing then remained but to endeavour to gain the main-top, which with immense difficulty they accomplished, carrying with them one bag of bread, about eight pounds of cheese, two dozen of wine, with a small quantity of brandy and ruin. Be fore they had time to secure themselves in their perilous situa tion, the vessel fell on her beam-ends ; but within half an hour the hatches blew up and she again righted. Their scanty stores were now examined, when, to their utter dismay, all had been washed away except the bag of bread. At this period a dis tressing scene occurred in the midst of their afflictions : one of the passengers had his wife on board, and a child 15 months old, which he carried in his arms ; the infant, however, he was compelled to abandon to the merciless waves, in the view of its distracted mother ! The mainsail was now let down to screen t'ern from the severity of the weather, which continued tem pestuous until Friday the 11th, when they were able once more to go upon the deck. Their thirst had now become excessive, and nothing but salt water to be procured. — Having found the carpenter's axe, they cut a hole in the deck near to where a wi.t A.-cask had been stowed ; but alas ! the cask had been stove, and nothing was to be found either for support or convenience, but an envy pump -can, which they carried with them to the main-top. That night the female passenger became insensible, and next day, Saturday, the 12th, she died. This poor woman, whose name was Joice Rae, came with her husband from between Belfast and Larne, in Ireland. The unhappy survivors were now .re duced, by raging thirst, to support nature by sucking the blood of their deceased companion, and, shocking to relate, the miserable husband was necessitated to partake of the unnatural and horrid beverage. Their sufferings, however, met with little allay from this temporary but dreadful re lief; they were now assailed by the most acute and ungovern able hunger ; and to preserve existence were compelled to di.?, tribute the flesh of the deceased among the famishing survi vors! While in the very acme of their sufferings, a ship hove i view ; but this joyful sight was of short duration, for it being nearly dark, they remained unpe rceived b y the vessel, which continued her own course and was soon out of their reach. This fresh misfortune threw them into greater despair than they had yet experienced. From this time to the 23d the following died : J. Lamont, a boy; J. M'Kay, carpenter; George M'Dowell, passenger; Colin M'Kechnie, and the steward, G. M‘Gilvray. Part of the flesh of these wretched sufferers was also devoured like that of the woman. The whole number was now re duced to the Captain and one of the seamen, who, by the help of the main-sail and the can already mentioned, contrived to supply themselves with water till the 14th of November (having been 38 days on the wreck), when they were providen tially discovered by Capt. Hudson, of the Saltom , of Carl isle ; but they were yet fated to suffer another shipwreck, though of minor importance. On Tuesday, the 10th inst., this vessel, whilst riding off Beckfoot, on the Cumberland coast, it blowing a gale, broke her chain-cable, when she drifted too near to May borough, and was considerably damaged, but all hands were saved, including the two unfortunate sufferers ; who arrived at. Annan on Wednesday evening last, and, what is very remark able, apparently in gcod health. CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 27. Contrary winds still prevailing, our supplies continue small.

Captain GILL, his wife, two sisters, and a servant lad, were coming over from Watchet to Cardiff, in one of the pilot-boats belonging to the latter place ; and when about mid-channel ) the boat was overtaken. by a sudden gust of wind, and instently upset,and the above persons, together with 2 boatmen, were buried beneath the waves. Mrs. GILL was in an advanced state of pregnancy, and was returning to Cardiff to be confined. None of the bodies have yet been found, but part of the boat and sprit-sail have been picked up. When the boat left Watchet considerable apprehensions were entertained for the safety of the voyagers, which have been thus fatally realized.
