EDITOR,—As you have already noticed in your Paper this melancholy accident, I dare hope you may not refuse to give insertion to this communication ; the facts are collected from the best authority. In some of the London Journals one or two mistatements have made their appearance, and have heen copied into the columns of the Provincial Press. I beg to call your and your readers' attention to two reports, and to my contradiction of them. Ist, It has been said that Major MACLEOD was seated on the box, and upon seeing the coachman unable to hold his horses in, snatched at the reins, but only pulled two ; hence the coach was upset. Major MAct.toro was not on the box, and therefore could not snatch the reins. 2J, It has been said that Major MACLEOD excited the coachman to race with another coach : the coachman him self declares that Major I4Lo t cLEon remained quite quiet— neither moved nor spoke : moieover, it has not yet been proved that the coach was racing. That these false reports, which tend more or less to throw the blame of the accident on Major MACLEOD, should be con tradicted as soon as possible, is self-evident. B. C. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. Mails were this morning received at the Post Office from Portugal, France, and the North of Europe. The private letters by the former contain advices from the Brazils of considerable political importance. They are dated at Lisbon, September 28, and state that letters from Pernambuco of the 3d of August, confirm the sailing of an expedition from Rio on the 14th of July .with 260, soldiers, 6 pieces of artillery, 5,000 muskets, 2,000 spears, &c., that news of this event were received at Bahia on the 20th of July, and that on the • 22d seven armed vessels sailed from Bahia to meet them.—. From Rio, very late intelligence had been received. On the ' 28th of July a vessel had arrived there from Monte Video, with a Proclamation from the Military Council, addressed to the troops, professing to adhere to the Cortes of Portugal ; and on the titll of August the Prince had issued a strong Mani festo, declaring that all the Portuguese.soldiers within the do minions of the Brazils should be treated as enemies to the pub lic tranquillity. At present the mother state appears deter mined to retain the American colonies if possible, and it is not easy to divine any other cause for this resolution than national pride, for the Brazils, as an independent empire, will be of far greater importance to Europe generally, than any benefit which Portugal could draw from it as a colony, and the attempt to re tain a superiority over it will prove unavailing, for the success of their neighbours has taught its inhabitants the value of civil liberty, and that they are better judges of their own concerns than the Cortes at Lisbon can possibly be. His Majesty's ship the Creole remained at Rio, and the Blossom, sailed on the 15th July, to protect British rights at Bahia during a civil war. From St. Petersburgh, the commercial letters are dated on the 17th September, on which day the exchange on London was at 10d. 1-32 ; 3,000 casks of tallow had been purchased at 110 rubles, for British account, 2,000 casks by the celebrated spe culators, and the remainder for the account of individuals.— Here, the gentlemen who speculate on advanced prices purchase freely at 40s. to 46.. 6d., and being powerful in cash they pay the blunt down ; but the dealers are not inclined to lay up any. stock at such high prices. Hemp is exceedingly dull sale, at from 371. to 371. 10s. per ton. In Liverpool last week there were no extensive transactions done in any article. .The British Plantation Sugar market was very barely supplied, not more than 370 casks of Antigua and Jamaica having been offered, and which were sold at an ad vance of Is. a 2s. per cwt. The stock on the Ist October re maining in Liverpool, was 9,600 casks less than at the same period last season, and therefore little doubt can be entertained of this year's importation proving deficient. In the Coffee market there was not any alteration ; 350 bags of Pimento, offered at public sale, was bought in at 9d., the highest bidding being only 80. per lb. For Cotton there was a fair demand, and the value has been well supported. The sales amounted to 7,636 bags, and the importation was 6,087 hags only. Sea Island, very middling to .middling Hid. to Md., fair and good 121 d. to 15d., and fine 17d. to 25., and every other .description brought proportionate prices. During the Quarter ending the 28th September, there were imported into London of English Wheat, 116,877 quarters, of Barley, 18,125 quarters, and of Oats, 143,465 quarters, with 921,551 Sacks of Flour. From Ireland during the same period there were received 340 quarters of Wheat, and 16,479 quarters of Oats. Last week the arrivals in Mark-lane, amounted to 9,271 quarters of Wheat, 4,976 quarters of Barley, 9,900 quar ters of Oats, and 10,430 Sacks of Flour. This day Wheat con tinues very dull sale. A few selected samples were taken off at last Monday's prices, but inferior new samples, and those of the growth of 1821, are almost unsaleable, at a decline of la. to 2s. per quarter. There is very little really fine Malting Bar ley at Market, and the needy Maltsters take this description away at fully as high prices, but inferior samples are very dull sale, and stained of last year's growth is not worth more than 20s. a quarter. Oats last Wednesday advanced ls. a quarter, but they do not maintain this improvement this day, and they scarcely reached the prices of this day week. The English funds are visibly improving this day, and as the monied interest do not look for any immediate change oc curring in Europe from the wise deliberations of the Holy Al liance, and the great Ministers of State attending them, a con siderable advance is expected soon to take place in every des cription of public securities, for money will in a few days be very abundant, and neither agriculture nor commerce offer any profitable employment for it. The Consols for the settlement on the 15th current opened at 84 and closed at 84 The No vember account is 84 The foreign market also on the Royal Exchange continues to attract much of the interest and atten tion of capitalists. An express received from Paris quotes the French Rentes on Saturday in great demand at 93, and the Neapolitan Bonds at 776. Here this day, the Colombian and Chilian have undergone great fluctuations, and the former is 3 to 4, and the latter 2to 3 per cent. dearer. The New RuSsian and Prussian Loans are inquired after, and the Neapolitan Script maintains its premium of about 4 per cent. profit to its first possessors.

PIRACY. The following is an Extract of a Letter from Captain HEARN, of the Vittoria, bound from Jamaica to London, and dated on board the brig Blacken, Liverpool, October 3 : " It is with great sorrow I have to communicate to you the capture of the Vittoria on the 7th of August in the Gulf of Florida, by a pirate. She left Jamaica on the 27th of July, and nothing particular occurred till the 7th of the following month, when shortly after day-light a brig appeared upon my starboard bow, about 7 miles nearer the shore than I was, Saddle Hill bearing S. by E. distant 30 miles; a short time after a schooner hove in sight, a long way within the brig be fore-mentioned, and appeared to me to be working up along the coast; when at 11 A. at. I saw him close to the brig, but I could not distinguish what they were about. An hour after he was within gun-shot of me, rowing with large scoups, there being a very light air from the E.S.E., so that the Vittoria could scarcely steer. He came close to, and desii-ed me to heave to until he sent his boat on board, having then American colours flying. I did so, when a boat-load of the most desperate robbers human nature can furnish, headed by an Englishman, who it appears had formerly been mate of a West lndiaman, came on board armed with muskets, pistols, anti cutlasses. He ordered me, together with my chief mate, second, and three of the crew, to go into the boat. I did so, and was taken on board the schooner, which had still American colours flying : when I got on the schooner's deck, I found to my great astonishment, the Captain of the brig to be Capt. Cook, of the brig Industry, of Montego Bay, which I had spoken a few days before off Cape Antonio. Captain Cook, together with four of his crew, were secured below. We were then strictly searched, and every thing taken from us. The pirates then made sail with the two brigs and their scnooner towards the land, a little to the westward of tha Saddle Hill; the chief of the robbers then came to me and told me he knew I had money stowed away. I made answer I had not; what I had, he had already taken a\vay; he then said, he would more than probable find out, for he would do to me what he had done to a master of some vessel he had previously taken, which was, that he bad put him into a large fire on shore, and then he confessed where he had money stowed ; for which, however, he still burnt him alive. He had.then in his possession in some creek within the Colorados Reef a Dutch ship and an American, discharging, and said that he would take our vessels into. the same place. They continued to run iin with the land during the whole of the afternoon ; and about five r. :is. the chief robber took Captain Cook, together with his crew, on board the Industry, put them all below, ex cepting Captain Cook, whom he tied to the windlass, and made four of his men fresh load their gulls and fire at him ; but they, having a little more of the human being left than ,their master, fired at random, which was the preservation of Captain Cook's life. The chief robber then came on board the schooner, having first secured some of the brig's men below on board of his own vessel, and left her in charge of five of his crew, to follow him. When he had been board a few minutes, he again came to me with his knife in one hand and a cutlass in the other, and declared he would cut my throat ; I asked what that would profit him, since he had taken my ship and my all from me.? His reply to me was, that if any English ship of war got hold of him he would be hung. I answered—more than probable. Night coming on, and the vessels still running down the land, we were put below, and two sentinels placed over us, and at ten at night they came to anchor in four fathoms. The head robber then went on board the Vittoria in his boat ; and, according to the state ment of my carpenter, G. Lewis, who had never been taken out of the Vittoria, made him take down all the lining of the cabin and break open my trunks, & • ; he there found a few dollars, and after drinking some time, he left the Vittoria, and came on board his own schooner. About midnight lie called for one of the prisoners ; my second mate was going on deck, when he was stopped by the sentinel, and ordered to keep below. At this time we heard a great noise upon deck for a few moments. but in a short time ail was again silent. When the morning came they agreed to give up the Industry, but not a single thing, only as we stood : so you may suppose in what a deplor able state lam at present. I can only add by thanking; the Al mighty that I am spared with my life; for if the chief robber had not been killed (which was the noise I have already alluded to) that night, which we did not know of until we were all on board the Industry, he had made a vow, when he left the Vittoria, that the moment he got on board the schooner he would have my life, and was only stopped by one of his own people murdering him ; and he was thrown overboard very quietly for fear we should know it. The command of the ves sel then fell to this Englishman, who would not so much as allow me a change of clothes, but told me 1 might think my self well off that my life was saved. We soon fell in with the Blacket, which has brought me safe here." [The cargo of the Vittoria, we understand, has be insured at Lloyd's for more than 30,00011 FOR. TIIE SUN FOREIGN TALLOW. Ma. EDITOR—The attention of the Public has been lately much engrossed by the spectilatioti carrying on in the article of Foreign Tallow ; and I really da think that some of the occur rences which have taken place in this branch of our Trade are not altogether undeserving of notice. Such is the state of things in the Baltic line, that; with a- view to enliven the scene, and to keep up the spirits of the merchants, a very, spirited individual, it is said, has commenced a system of Betting, and to carry the refinement still further, has, within the last few days, actually opened two or three shops, where gambling policies are deposited. The term; are 10/. to 100/. that Y.C. Tallow will be sold at 551. before Christmaa' next. One step further, Mr. Editor, and if the New Vagrant Act does not interfere with us, you will see that we shall make a cask of Foreign Tallow float as currently upon the market, and with the same facilities as a bond of the' Republics of Chili or Colombia. Pray, Sir, acquaint the sporting world what is going on among us, and you will much oblige, BULL AND BEAR. DURHAM. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER. This month, as well as the last, has been remarkable for fine harvest weather—seldom have we had such a favorable season, and its continuance is so long, that even in the most backward situations the grain has been got into the stack-yard in an ex cellent condition, not often experienced; not a sheaf is injured, so that there cannot be any drawback upon the crop from any being rendered unfit for market. And now there is little doubt that the Wheat crop will be upon an average with that of last year; the sample is not so fine, from the long droughty weather preventing the tillering of the crops ; so that, in many instances, those after-shoots were far from being fit for the sickle, when the primary stalks presented to the eye the golden plume droop- , ing for the harvest. The other cultivated crops may not be termed abundant ; upon the whole, the occupier of , the soil has every cause to rejoice in the consummation of his labours : with the protecting hand of Providence he has no room for re pining, and where he is so fortunate as to sit under a generous landlord, he may join with unfeigned mirth in the rustic joy of a harvest home. One extraordinary feature of the year is to be seen in labourers of the farm being now busily employed in the turnip field, hoeing and cleaning the crop, as if it were the month of July ; and although late in being sowed; they promise to be an excellent crop, and will be very valuable, from a great many breadths having been plowed down. The markets con tinue, for all sorts of grain, in a very depressed state—not that we can with any reference to the price of any other commodity, or with any propriety use the term " depressed;" but only in comparison with high-rented farms ; for were it not for this strange anomaly—war rents in the time of profimnd tranquillity, good old times have again arrived, which many now rich in years never again expected to see ; but this unnatural state of things. cannot continue ;—twenty and ten per cent. returns arc only half doing the thing. This clinging to hopes that times will grow better is a solecism of the we akest nature, for there never can be better times than when the necessaries of life are cheap. Stock of all kinds are more in demand than la t ely , a n d could we forget the unnatural prices of late years, we might say, • in comparison to other things, sell well. THE WEATHER. Extract from a METEOROLOGICAL JOURNAT. for SEPTEM BER, 1322, kept at the OBSERVATORY Of the ACADEMY, Uosronv " This month has been unexpectedly dry, considering that three of the last four Oases of the moon happened near mid-day • a circumstance that generally indicates wet weather; the rain, however, may have been more frequent and heavy in a less northerd latitude than this is, where the moon has a greater influence over the Earth's atmosphere. Nearly three fourths of this month's rain fell here at and near the time of the Autumnal equinox, when a depression of one inch of mercury was observeed in the barometer. The month being . fair for field labour, and there having been but 3? inches of ram during the last two months, the level arable lands will therefore be found in a fit and proper state for early sowing. " A considerable reduction took place the latter part of the month in the mean temperature of the air, in consequence of the rains and cold easterly gales; and there were two or three slight hoar frosts before sunrise. The average temperature is -1 deg. lower than - that of September, 1821. " At the latter end of the month, about 5 or 6 hundred swallows assembled here, and migrated the same day, making their stay in this neigbourhood 22 weeks. This may be con sidered as an early departure of the swallow tribe; but they had undoubtedly felt the sudden transition in the constitution of the atmosphere beyond the artificial heat of that at the earth's surface. • The falling of the decaying foliage has occurred sooner than usual, by means of so early a summer as we have experienced. During the latter part of the month, the prevailing N.E. winds caused a very great evaporation—on the day anti night of Pith, not less than half an inch evaporated by the combined influence of the sun and a brisk N.E. gale. " The atmospheric and meteoric plurnomena that have come within our observation this month, are - three parase knit, three solar and three lunar halos, sixteen meteors, light ning in the evening of the 14th, and distant thunder in the afternoon of the 17th ; and nine gales of wind, or days on which they have prevailed, namely, three from N.E., three from E., and three from S. W. SUMMARY.OF THE WEATHER—A clear sky, three ; fair, with various modifications of clouds, sixteen ; an overcast sky without rain, seven ; foggy, three-quarters ; rain, three and a quarter—total, thirty. "A SCALE OF THE PREVAILING WINDS—N. two, N.E. nine, E. five, S.E. two, S. one, S.W. six, W. three, N.W. two--days thirty." MARINE CURIOSITY.—A very singular fish is at this time in pickle on board the Mary Frances, Greenland ship, now in the 01(1 Dock, of this place. 31r. Wilkinson, the Captain, says it was caught to the north of Shetland by some of his men sent out in a boat, who saw it floundering on the surface of the water, and dragged it on board by one of its tail fins. Its formation is exceedingly_ clumsy, and its movements must have been very slow. On a first view of the head, we fancied we saw a strong resemblance to the large wrinkled face of a fat old man, and the nonsense about mer maids immediately recurred to our recollection. But a whole view of the animal soon dissipated all our reveries, and left us only to wonder at the variety of the productions of nature. Its shape is nearly oval, being from head to tail rather more than three feet, and in breadth two. The skin is of a deep gray, and all over as rough as a file moderately worn ; so rough, that when the sailor laid hold of the tail fin to pull it out of the water, his hold was as firm as if he had been grasp ing a piece of strong sand paper. Captain Wilkinson says, that when it was first taken its eyes were quite prominent and exactly resembling human eyes. It is furnished with a pair of ears, with two small fins beneath them, and two large tail fins, between Which is a short fleshy tail. We see it described in yesterday's Advertiser as the Sun Fish of Dr. Shaw, and it probably is one of that singular species ; but it seems odd, as Captain Wilkinson assures us is the fact, that, if it be, the eldest fisherman in Shetland never should have seen any thing like it before.—(//i;!!,Rockin.ts-hon.j F 0 N T 111.

GRAND- DISAPPOINTIVIENT:' The sale of the effects at•Fotitbill;"adverliged to be - scild by public auction,.' fdr some months, is, after all, not to take place—the e s tate hiving berf•sold . by private contract. an the beauties of nature, or the treasure of art, which this place comprehends, it is unnecessary. for us to expatiate. Set much has been said ott'theSubject, that nom thing can now be' offered %vhich-will , have the re coinmendation' of novelty. ' In. truth, this has been the Case frain the period at which the'pro perty was first offered' for - sale, though some s from its having - been inaccessible foi. a number of years, have been anxious to attach as much romantic interest to its.exhibitions as if it had suddenly sprung into ' - But though much has been said on the stibject; nothing has been stated which the 'Maivifideice of - the picture would not justify as to Its general character, however men of taste might differ ou particular points. The noble style of the man sion, and the admirable arrangement of the grounds, no one has dared to question ; and cer tainly we cannot but think that the boldest fancy could imagine nothing more superb than the scene here presented. The interest .which the contemplated sale ex cited was great beyond precedent. It was not merely local, nor was its sphere so circumscribed as merely to extend to the metropolis of Britain. The fame of Foothill had passed int 9 other countries, and the votaries of taste from every State on the Continent had repaired to Wilt shire to offer a tribute of willing homage to this splendid union of the treasures of iArt with the beauties of cultivated Nature. • Ilindon, called a market town; but in size and respectability not surpassing many obscure vil lages in other parts of the country, has lately been thronged with company of the highest or der. It has sometimes been' found impossible to get•a bed or even a seat in any house in the bo rough, and the weary traveller has been com pelled to retrace his steps o❑ to the next town to find a resting place. O❑ Saturday last, the time during which the Abbey was to be open to public view expired, the company at Higdon was less numerous than it had previously been ; beds at some places might be obtained as low as five shilling per night; people wondered how they could be made for the money, and the times seemed returning when the traveller might safely calculate on finding " his warmest welcome at an inn." But it was anticipated by the proprietors of such places of entertainment, that the bustle was suspended but for a moment—that the Monday or Tuesday would bring back the full flood of visitants, and, acting on this impression, those who had ob tained lodgings at the price which had been mentioned on the Saturday, were informed on Sunday 'ila they must turn out on Monday, as the beds—the whole of them—had been peremp torily engaged for the last six weeks ! We shall not enlarge on the pathetic remonstrances which these melancholy intimations called forth,nor shall we dwell on the arguments by which the land lords vindicated their disinterestedness in thus disturbing those who were in possession ; it is sufficient to say, that there was no remedy for the unfortunates, and they were obliged to make way for expected guests; who had long ago con tracted for the beds at the rate of half-a-guinea per night ! Thus matters stood till the evening of Sunday, when the innkeepers, the letters of lodgings, and others who have so largely profited by the business which has been so long in ag itation, were sud denly awakened from their golden dreams by the following notice, which was sent down to be posted through the town of Hindon : " FONTIMA ABBEY. " The sale by auction at this place will not take place, as intended, on the Bth of October, a negociation now being on foot for the sale of the whole estate by private contract." We shall not dwell on the sensation created by this unexpected intelligence. The effect pro duced by those who had come to Minion, and remained at 'Hutton some time, may be easier conceived than described; the vexation of those who believed they were yet but at the commence ment of the promised harvest, is of course ex treme; and those only are consoled who, ad miring the Abbey and its treasures connected as they now are, had, up to the present moment, lamented over the prospect of their speedy sepa ration. Thus has closed a most extraordinary scene of bustle. We should be most fervent in our admi ration of those who performed so long a pilgrimage in honour of the fine arts, if the conduct of the par ties had not manifested more of caprice than taste, and more of regard for fashion than love of virtu. The pomp and precipitation of the Fonthill visitors made good the satirical remark of the late Lord ORFORD. " I remember formerly," says lIORACE WALPOLE in one of his letters, " being often di verted with this kind of seers; they come, ask what such a room is called in which Sir ROBERT lay, writ it down, admire a lobster or a cabbage in a market piece, dispute whether the last room was green or purple, and then hurry to the inn for fear the fish should be over-dressed." It is expected that Monday and Tuesday will be busy days, notwithstanding the sale is off, as it is supposed the intelligence will not be received at many places distant from Fonthill in time to prevent parties setting out for Wiltshire, who were anxious to witness the auction.—Plorning Post.)
