But even if this measure were a complete and infallible restorative, it would still be the part of a considerate Government to pause with the deepest anxiety, before it sanctioned a decree which will inevitably sweep from the ocean, and that for ever, a vast body of English shipping, introducing in its place that of a rival na tion, will loosen the bonds of union between Great Britain and her West Indian establish- nn-nts, severely wound many great commercial and agricultural interests in this country, impo verish and enfeeble our much coveted Canadian Provinces, and extinguish every hope of future Prosperity in our valuable and meritorious co lonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. InELANn.—The Dublin Correspondent, of the 19th inst. received this morning, states that its intelligence from the country does not contain a ingle new case of outrage. A letter from Limerick, also, would induce us to hope that the operation of the In,urrection Act has already done much toward restoring the public tranquil lity, by the apprehension and removal of many of the most disaffected and dangerous persons amongst the peasantry. Still, there is no ge neral surrender of arms, which alone can be deemed an unequivocal symptom - of the perma nent return of the insurgents to habits of order and obedience to the laws.—The Limerick County and City Assizes were opened on the 15th inst. We have not yet received the reports of any of the trials. CITY THURSD 4.1 - EVENING . The fate of Mr. CtinwEses Motion last night in the House of Commons, the object of which was to benefit the Landed Interest by adding to the restrictions on Foreign Commerce, has given satisfaction in the City to every disinterested man ; and it is expected, front the well-known sentiments of the Boatel of Trade, respecting free commerce, that every attempt of the same description will meet with a similar reception • for Men now are enlightened eno ug h t o k now th a t p r i nc ipl es Which benefit a city must produce equal results in a nation ; and the advantages of free trade have, within these few years, been well exemplified in the Russian city called Odessa. Sometime ago this port was declared by the EMPEROR free to the commerce of every nation which wished to visit it, and the consequence has been a gradual but steady advance in prosperity amongst all the classes of society residing there. The higher orders have become independent in their fortunes, .and those born in the inferior stations have gained civilization and comfort. There is, however, something in prosperity with which some Governments cannot agree ; and this favoured town has been doomed to feel it • for, by letters dated th e 22d February, it appears that die EMPEROR has recall e d a ll his beneficent grants from it ; and that in future all its prosperity must be blighted by a Tariff of heavy duties and prohibitions. Many English merchants, relying on Odessa being a free . port, have sent much property to it, and must now pay heavy duties, not only on what must arrive after the Emperor's intentions were made public, but even on what had actually been landed ; for at the date of the last letter it was barely expected that Government-locks would be placed, not only on warehouses, but even on retail s hops, until the duties were paid. It is not known what will be done with rods, such as refined sugars, which are prohibit ed. and of which a good deal is either at Odessa, or on the pas sage. Smuggling, no doubt, will be held up as the cause of these harsh proceedings ; but it is not imposiible that they may be the result of some private intrigue, and the mercantile classes would be greatly benefited if Lord LONDONDERRY could pos sibly afford to give his undivided attention to the foreign rela tions of the country, and leave Mr. VixsyrtanT to do his own business in the House of Commons. It is reported, that letters have been received from Corfu, dated the let of March, and which mention that the Turkish Beet had landed 12,000 men a t P re vi sa i n Epirus, who, joined with the army there, made a force of :15,000, and had marched against the Greeks in the Morea. This is not probable. The defeat of the Grecian fleet must first be accomplished. The Public Funds are not so brisk as they were yesterday.— At a meeting of Bank Proprietors some questions were asked of the Directors respecting their intention of discounting at Pour per Cent. ; the :inswers to which were naturally evasive, but the best informed think, that before long the Bank will re duce the interest of money to Four per Cent., unless some un favourable change takes place in the politics of Europe. A ~ r e duction of interest will, no doubt, enhance the value of eve r y description of real property. The Consols for the account opened at 80/I,' and continued Pretty steady at this price. A private .express from Paris bought the French Fives, at the close of Tuesday, 89. 20., ing one-half per cent. lower than the last price. Our Con sols felt the effect of this, and closed at 801. Spanish Bonds, which had reached 68, closed at 67,i, and all foreign securities e xperienced a proportionate decline. Columbian Bonds are n ominal, for a further explanation of the late Loan is consi dered necessary, before they can acquire complete currency. The Contractor's name is, however, expected to be made pub lic in a few days. The July shipments of Tallow are offered at 421. per Ton.— Very little is doing in Hemp and Flax. There have lately been some sales of Irish Butter, not of the Thisatqty, and the prices obtained have been wretchedly low. is good proof of the great distress of the lower orders. , petition or memorial has been signed by the principal horn-factors, an d sen t u p t o th e Corn Committee, wishing, in eir Report to the House of Commons, a recommendation 41 be made that all corn now under the King's lock will have a i' r e.felence in the English market, when the ports do open, over 'Flit may be imported in future. Much attention ought to be ihid to a recommen d a ti on f oun d e d on suc h good authority, °ogh some think, if they had asked permission to sell the i," 1: " Immediately on paying a proper import-duty, they would their much better served the agricultural, the commercial, and '-eeir own interest.—( Morning Chronicle.) COBBETT.—A little pamphlet, entitled COB 11E'r'T'S Gridiron, has been recently circulated all °ver the Country, which fully exposes his gross co ntradictions, his praise and abuse of the very "rile persons, and his despicable attempts to Vislead, und e r p re t e nc e o f en li g ht en i ng , th e eople. Wonderful to say, he has shewn some s ense of sham e by i nser ti ng i n an E ven i ng P a p er the following advertisement : "CHEATS AND FORGERS. " At various times Cheats and Forgers have put forth things ;.:;de r my nanie in order to defraud the public of their money. i t ,'„,,nere are now two thinFs put forth in thus way, called COB -1---tiTT'S GRIDIRON. —I beg my readers to beware of these eats for, to give them money is no charity, and is only to take f rom the industrious to feed these idle vagabonds, who 9ught to be sweeping the streets. Any stray dog that you meet Is more worthy of a bit of bread. '%%T M COBBE1".1." IS it possible that this detected political Quack can suppose that the Country will con sider this as an answer to such irrefragable charges ? No—he is justly broiled on his own t;ridiron. The Lisbon Packet was yesterday detained by Government, as it was supposed, in conse quence of the news received from Rio Janeiro.— (Morning Chronicle.) AMERICAN PAPERS. The following are extracts from the American arrivals of yesterday : " NEW YoRK, FEE. 25.—(From Havannah.)— We are indebted to Captain HOPKINS, of the brig Otter, from Havannah, for the following : The Otter sailed in company with a fleet of Ame rican vessels, under convoy of the United States sloop of war Hornet. The Hornet arrived at Havannah on the 3d from Pensacola. Three piratical boats sailed from Havannah on the Ist instant, and returned on the 4th, loaded with goods, and were taken possession of by the Go vernment ; one of the captains and one man were put in confinement. " The brig Leader of New York had arrived at Ilavannah from Teneriffe ; was boarded about 3 leagues east of the Moro by a piratical boat ; a French gentleman (passenger) was treated in a most shameful manner."

ALMouni, MARCH 20.—Wind vanable.—Arnved the Nimble, Gale, from Cork. At a general meeting of the Subscribers to Lloyd's, held on Wednesday, a sum was voted for the purpose of cutting caves and steps in the cliffs in the vicinity of Beachy-Head, for affording protection to the crews and passengers of vessels which may be unfortunately wrecked on that dangerous coast, until they can be relieved from their distressed situation ; and it was stated that the lords of the manors had given their con sent to so laudable a plan, which will no doubt, when carried into effect, be the means of saving many valuable lives. The following votes from the funds of that establishment were at the same time passed, viz. :- 1001 in aid of a subscription at Aberdeen, for II widows and 23 children of pilots and boatmen, who were drowned in en deavouring to save the crew of the Mary of Gardenstown, on the 23d of January. 901. to the widow and children of a Deal boatman, and to 5 Deal boatmen, for endeavouring to save the crew of the Hoff rung, from Hamburgh to St. Thomas's, wrecked on the God win Sand. 501. to the father of a Midshipman in the Royal Navy, who lost his life on the 3d ult., in going off to the Thames East Indiaman when on shore near Eastbourn. 301. to the parents and widow of two seamen of Montrose, who were drowned after taking three people from a wreck. 251. to the crew of the Eugenie, of Nantes, for saving the crew of the John and Robert from New Brunswick to Liverpool. Several smaller sums for the encouragement of such disinte rested and meritorious conduct were agreed to; as well as some votes for the establishment of life-boats on different parts of the coast. A certain discarded Baronet is so highly re. spected by all who know him that his dismission is a subject of univeral surprise, and a titled wit said on the occasion, " the Benjamin " Would be worn now in its newest gloss, " Not cast aside so soon." It may fairly be said of the person who offered up Mr. ARBUTHNOT'S confidential letter at the shrine of Party, " Hic niger est : ha nc to Rornane eaveto." Sir WALTER STIRLING, who was lately over urned in his carriage, is now so much recovered hat he is able to return to his usual concerns. CHANTREY has been styled, in a British Jour• nal, the 44 English CANOVA." We hope that an Italian Journal will style CANOVA " the Italian CIIANTREY." The University of Cambridge, with a laud able zeal for departed worth and learning, has entered into a subscription for a Bust of the late Rev. Dr. EDWARD DANIEL CLARKE. The Bust is to be executed in marble, and the University , has shewn its taste as well as its respect for de parted excellence, by selecting CHANTREY fo; the performance. The Bust is to be presented to the University " These are linperial works and worthy Kings." Mr. KEMBLL'S retreat in the neighbourhood of Lausanne is in a beautiful situation, and he has gained " Golden opinions from all sorts of people." The public will, of course, be glad to learn that he is in good health, as they cannot be indif ferent to the welfare of one who has often af forded them refined amusement, and to whom the British Stage is so much indebted.

P 0 E 1' It Y. FOR THE SUN. Mu. EDIT 0 R—llaving observed in your Paper of last week part of an Oui: in HORACE applied to certain circumstances of the present times, I do not understand why the Writer omitted the other part, which, by a translation I have found among my papers, seems worthy of like notice. The Boy that's train'd by military art, Who sleeps and bivouacks in the open air, In ev'ry peril takes an active part, And well the straits of Poverty can bear. Him shall the matron from the hostile tow'r, Him shall the blooming maid with dread espy, Rushing to battle.with a lion's pow'r, And silent heave a deep foreboding sigh, Lest her betroth'd, of royal lineage sprung, Ambitious of renown, should rashly dare, Yet inexpert in arms, in courage strong, So rough a champion to unequal war. Death for our Country is a noble end, Death close pursues too the deserter's track ; Compassion ne'er can make the tyrant bend, Nor spare the suppliant knee or cowards' back. Virtue fears not repulse ; like Diamond shines, Heeds not the poplar cry of wou'd-be Kings; Which ever way their wayward will inclines, She spurns the ground alike and spreads her wings, Looking contempt below, with conscious pride, Soaring majestic to the azure sky, She tries a way, to rebel folk denied, For those to pass who are too good to die. To thee, too, silence, a reward is due, Thee, faithful silence ! for I cannot bear The wretch who pays not a regard to you, But speaks a secret trusted to Ms ear ; Let such with me ne'er enter in my hall, My boat or car, or live in any shape, Lest Guilt and Innocence together fall ; For seldom old offenders can escape.

MURDER OF MRS. DONATTY. Bow-STREET.—Yesterday, soon after one o'clock, Mr. Mricsiatraa, the alagistrate, resumed his examination of Ro bert Rigby, Ann his wife, *Mary Wood (her sister), and Samuel Askew. Mr. Taylor, the vestry-clerk of the parish in which the house of the deceased is situate, attended, as did the Gentlemen of the Committee who have so laudably exerted themselves to discover the perpetrators of this horrid murder. It appeared from their statement that the house had not been generally searched, but merely the two parlours and the back room on the first floor ; and the violence that had been used upon the occasion was done with similar instruments to those found in the apartment of Rigby, such as pincers (one end of which had been evidently recently broken), a turnscrew, and an awl. Robert Rigby and Samuel Askew were brought to the office from Covent-garden watchhouse, handcuffed together. Mr. MIYSI'LL humanely observed, that he did not think that necessary, as he presumed every man innocent till he was found guilty. Jones the gaoler said, it was only done as a matter of security, they being under suspicion.of a vary heinous offence. They were then rcicased from the handcuffs. One of the Gentlemen of the Committee showed the finger of Mrs. Donatty, which was preserved in spirits. Ile did not tell the prisoners what it was that was in the spirits ; after they had looked at it for some time, they declared that they could not tell what it was. He then told them what it was, and watched their countenances very closely, to . see what effect it had on them ; but no material change was observed. The Gentlemen of the Committee were of opinion, from the very particular circumstances that they have ascertained respecting the conduct and manners of the deceased, that the murderer expected to find 5001. in the house: The deceased had a very great propensity to talking ; she told the whole of her affairs to any body. It was generally known in the neighbourhood, that she had sold the collection of Morland's paintings for 1,0001. which was paid bT bills ; the last were paid very lately, and she was in- possession of 5001. within a few days of her murder, which she did not conceal from any person. She was, at length, persuaded to invest it in the Long Annuities, the broker's receipt for which was found in the house. A memorandum was found among a number of pawnbrokers' duplicates, in Rigby's apartments, with " Mr. Evans, John street, Bedford-row." This being the neighbourhood where the murder was committed, it was suspected to be the place of appointment to meet on the night of the murder; it was written in a good hand and correctly spelt. Rigby having said he had written it, he was desired to write the same words without see ing the original, which he accordingly did. Mr. 31inshull ex amined it, and declared it not dissimilar, although not the same hand. Rigby accounted for the possession of the original, by saving, it was given to his sister, when confined in Tothill fiadsridewell upon an execution from the Court of Requests for a debt for rent, to go to Mr. Evans to get his two children into a school by a lady of Alberniarle-street, which he objected to on account of the distance. When his sister was examined, l she explained the lady to be Mrs. Fry, who had paid the debt she was confined for. Two females who lived near the deceased attended. One' of them was intimately acquainted with the deceased. She stated, that on the night of the murder she saw a man' loiter ing about the house of the deceased for two hours in the course of that evening. She described him as a tall, thin, gentle manly looking man. He had no resemblance of either of the prisoners. Ile had something in his hand in a case. This, there is every reason to believe, contained the deadly weapon which was found in the house. The other female stated, that she saw a man at the door of Mrs. Donatty about nine o'clock on the night of the murder ; his back was towards her; she therefore did not discern his face. He was very stout with wide shoulders ; he was such a remarkable figure, that she had no doubt but that she should know him again. A gentleman suggested, that as there was very little doubt but that the sack which had been left in Mrs. Donatty's house by the murderers had been used as a seed-sack ; he recommend ed that inquiries should be made at all the seed shops in Lon don, where no doubt it might be traced to whom it belonged ; and offered to give a list of the seed shops. He said the Messrs. Heskeths, in the Borough, to whom Rigby said he was related, are very respectable men. Richard Waller, groom to J. R. Whitmore, of Furnival's Lim, Esq. was then examined.—On Saturday night, the 9th instant, between 10 and 11 o'clock, he was at the door of Mrs. Donatty's house with the mob. After the murder was made known, a gentleman came to him to the door, and wished some one to go with him the backway in Millman-place ; went into Great James -street, and saw five men running quite fast, as if from Millman-place, which is at the back of Mrs. Donatty's house. They pursued them, and overtook the man they saw first, and got hold of his arm ; he struggled, and got away ; the other four ran after him into Bedford-row ; the said man was a tall man, had on a brown or snuff-coloured coat; very much resembles Rigby in point of size : amongst the other four men was a short man with a green coat, a short slouched hat ; he appeared to be a younger man than Askew, but about his height, with a large nose ; resembles Askew in the face. He very closely examined both the prisoners with their hats on and off, slouched and not so ; behind as well as before. A pawnbroker produced all the articles pledged since the night of the murder, for which duplicates were found on the prisoners' premises, but no suspicion attached to any of them. The waistcoat, which had spots of blood on it, belonging to Askew was again produced, but the officer could not say it was concealed; he accounted for the blood from the bleeding of his ear in consequence of a cut. On searching the premises of Rigby, there was found in a tea-pot a small skeleton or picklock key, and part of a country 11. note. It was taken to the bankers in London where it was payable, who said it had been altered from the year 11110 to the year 1819. Jeffries produced a brown surtout coat, which he found at Askew's lodging ; it is an old one ; one of the buttons behind is torn off, a long rent on the right side, which has been recently sewed with black thread. The coat was put on by both the prisoners, and either could wear it. The sack which was left in the house of the deceased had a number of small shavings in it. A Gentleman of the Committee produced one of them from his pocket-book, and asked the prisoner Askew If he knew what it was, and after examining it, he declared he did not. It was from light coloured wood, supposed to be sycamore, and Askew being a violin and violoncello maker, some of his shavings which he makes were sent for ; and on their being brought, they were found to resemble those found in the sack. Mr. Alexander Japp, the landlord of the prisoner Askew, stated that he had seen Askew take his work out in a canvas bag, but the bag was not now in his apartments. On his being shewn the bag which was left in the deceased's house, he declared it not to be the same, it being a much lighter colour. Askew denied that he had such a bag or sack as his landlord described ; but said the bag he took his violins out in was of green baise, - and he took violencellos without any. The landlord said, Askew had lodged with him for twelve months. He was a man of regular habits ; he had only been out twice late. Elizabeth Rigby underwent another interrogation, but very lttle more could be made of her than on Wednesday night. On her bein,,, , r asked who gave her the breeches, she replied, nobody gave them to her; but on recollecting herself, she asked if it was meant those which were shewn to her the preceding night, and she said her father. She was interrogated by the Magistrate, as well as the Gen tlemen of the Committee, as to what her mother alluded to when she told her not to say any thing about the breeches when she went off, and talked about black breeches, which caused a suspicion that something would turn upon black breeches, and another search of their premises was made, but nothing discovered. The child's statement was very contra dictory. In the additional search, an apron belonging to Askew was found which had marks of blood on it. A box of surgeon's instruments were found. One of the Gentlemen said he had put his little finger into the wound in the neck of the deceased, and had no doubt but that it was inflicted by a large instrument. _ . Ann Rigby and Mary Wood were put to the bar after the men were taken away, but nothing material transpired. Ann Rigby persisted that she never instructed the child not to say any thing about the breeches. Mr. Donatty, the nephew of the deceased, attended, and ex amined the boots sold by the child to Mrs. Haines. He did not-believe them to be his aunt's, they being to button, and his aunt generally had them to lace. lie did not know who his aunt's shoemaker was ; he did not think she employed any par ticular man, but bought them at different places at it suited her. The examination continued till near six o'clock, when it was adjourned. HAT TON-GARDEN-Last night, about eight o'clock, a man named William Moss Gregory, about 25 years of age, of very dark aspect, long visage, and prodigious large black whiskers, dressed in a black coat and waistcoat, drab-coloured trowsers, and Wellington boots, rather of shabby appearance, and stand ing about 5 feet 8 inches high, together with Elizabeth Brown and Mary Brown (no relations), were brought up in custody of John timbrick and Cadby, the officers, and underwent an examination. It appears that the above-named active officers received private information that a man of very questionable character and habits had lived for several days with two females, in a concealed and obscure manner, in a kitchen or cellar complete ly under ground, at the house No. 22, Draper's-place, Burton crescent, belonging to a woman named Dallison, who on the Wednesday after the murder of Mrs. Donatty, was applied to by the female prisoner, Mary Brown, for the kitchen, which was then unoccupied. She stated herself to be a single woman. She subsequently let the kitchen to Mary Brown, and she took possession at night. Th e la n dl a dy no t see i ng her lodger tor three or four days, and finding the windows in front of the room in which the woman lived barricadoed up to the top, was led to give information to th e office r s. Limbrick sent a person to look at the kitchen, when he found the prisoner Gre gory and the two female prisoners sitting near the fire. The prisoner Gregory held down' his head, as if fearful of being seen; the place was strewed with bundles, containing all sorts of wearing apparel; one bed and bedding, tied up, was lying in one corner, in which they all three reposed. The officers then entered and took the whole party into custody. On searching the place, they found a piece of canvass stained with blood, for the possesSion of which they could not account. The prisoner Gregory could not account for himself for the last eight months, but be has been brought up to the profession of a surgeon. The prisoner Elizabeth Brown, previous to her taking the kitchen, resided in Robert-street, where the murder was perpetrated. The officers, on searching Gregory, found a knife of a very peculiar manufacture ; one of the blades was about three inches and a half long, and about half an inch wide, with a very sharp point ; there was another instrument therein similar to a picklock. The traces of the footsteps of blood in the house correspond with the size of the prisoner Gregory's foot. • The Magistrate said, the suspicion against the whole of the prisoners was sufficient to remand them for another examina tion ; and they were remanded accordingly. MARINE .SOClETY.—Yesterday the friends and supporters of this Institution held their Anniversary Festival at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. In the absence of the Duke of CLARE` CE, Lord Viscount EXMOUTH took the Chair, supported by the Duke of Northumberland, Sir Francis Ommanney,i M.P. and nearly 200 persons of respectability, who partook of an excellent dinner. The Report stated, that from the year 1769 to December 1821, 21,885 boys were fitted out and sent on board the King's 5,113 were also apprenticed to the merchant service, and to the Honourable East India Company, 513 boys were discharged from the King's service and again fitted out for sea, and 403 were placed to various trades. The total number of boys pro vided for since the commencement of the establishment in 1756, amounts to 33,063, and 39,360 landmen volunteers have been clothed as seamen, and employed in his Majesty's service since its commencement, making a total of men and boys 72,423 ; 444 boys were on board on the 31st of December,lB2o, and on the 315t,,1821, 128 remained on board. ASYLUM FOR DEAF ANDDUMJICiuLDREN.--Wednesday evening the Anniversary Dinner of this laudable Institution was held at the above Tavern, when 200 persons sat down to a sumptuous dinner, the Duke of Gloucester in the Chair, sup ported by Mr. Alderman Atkins, Frederick Webb, Esq. &c. The Report stated, that 500 persons had been in structed to speak, read, and write, and likewise in the use of arithmetic, since the establishment of the Institution, and that 200 were now enjoying the benefits of the Charity. Out of 20 families, consisting of 157 children, that had applied to the Institution, there were no less than 79 deaf and dumb, most of whom were relieved. The brewers of Cambridge have reduced the price of ale hi. per quart—a good example to those of the metropolis, and indeed of the country at large. So great is the opposition amongst some of the Caches be tween this town and Manchester, that the journey is now ge nerally performed by them in less than three hours ! exceeding 12 miles an hour, including changing of horses.—( Liverpool Advertiser.) INSTANCE OF THE CAPRICIOUSNESS OF PUBLIC TASTE.—MURPHY'S farce of " Three weeks after Marriage" affords a very striking proof of the capriciousness of public taste, and the injustice of some public decisions. It was first produced in 1764, under the title of " What we must all come to ;" but met with so much opposition, that the audience would not hear it to the conclusion. Twelve years after, Lewis ventured to produce it again at his benefit, with the new title; when it met with universal applause, and has continued ever since to be a favourite on the stage. SAVING BANKS.—Some very useless alarm has been recently taken in the villages near London, at the idea of the change of 5 per Cents; to a new 4 per Cent. Stockthat the stock in which the savings have been invested should be re-' duced, and, on that account, not be secure to the poor people who have carried in their deposits; and until the explanation is given from authority, many have withheld, and others have given notice of requiring returns of them. It is recom mended by a correspondent to the Managers of these Banks, and those who sit to receive the weekly deposits, to obtain from authority a clear document, assuring that part of the corn munity (to whom any loss or diminution of their claim, with its interest, would be of very serious consequences), that their investments, past and future, are invested in a fund peculiarly appro priated to this purpose, and not subject to the ltuatuations in value or price, or passing events, so as to affect the amount which they are entitled to call for.—(Nczo Times.) DISTRESSING ACCIDENT THIS MORNING ON THE TriAmcs.—Between five and six a violent gale of wind sprung up from the N.N.W., equal in vio lence to any thing that has been experienced during the late tremendous storms, and which, we regret, gives an opportunity of recording the following calamitous event :—Two coasters broke from their moorings a short distance below the Tower, and corning in contact, the violence of the concussion forced four men into the stream who were endeavouring to right the vessels, by which accident three of them were unfortunately drowned; the fourth, named Thorton, was fortu nate enough to lay hold of a piece of spar that was floating, when a boat put off from the Rother hithe shore, and luckily succeeded in saving him from the hapless fate of his less fortunate com panions. Considerable damage has also been done to other craft ; it does not, however, appear that there have been any other lives lost. The violence of the hurricane was not confined to the River, but extended to those parts of the Me tropolis contiguous to its banks; and consider able damage has been done in the unroofing houses, and the destruction of windows, coping stones, &c.; but it has not transpired that any personal injury has been sustained. As the sun approached the meridian the wind abated. PIDDING and Co., No. 1, Cornhill, request their Friends and the Public will bear in mind that Two out of the Three remaining Prizes of ,E 20,000 Sterling are liable to be decided the Next Day of Drawing, NEXT THURSDAY (March 28), for one is to be attached to the First-drawn Prize on that day, and another is to be attached to the Ninth-drawn Prize above ;'200; and as there are to be at least 4,000 Numbers drawn, such an occurrence is not very unlikely ; but, independent of these, there are 36 other Capitals of IN.OOO, 21,000, &c. many of which will also be drawn. PIDDING and Co. hope some of these desirable things are destined to reward those who make their purchases at the Lucky Corner, No. 1, Cornhill. CORN EXCHANGE, MAncit 22. Our suppliesare as of late fully equal to the demand, which is very limited, and chiefly confined to the prime qualities, of which we have but little in to-day; prices generally as on Mon day, with little variation. SMITHFIELD MARKET, MARCH 22. The quantity of Cattle at market this morning was greater than on last Friday, and prime Beef maintains its price ; but the inferior qualities are nominal in price, and much cheaper than on last market day.—The price of Hay remains the same.
