MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM, FOR FILLING DECAYED TEETH WITHOUT PAIN, HEAT, OR PRESSURE, AND .

Monsieur and A.M. continue to restore decayed Teeth, 1 however large or small the cavity, with their celebrated MINE- ! RAL SUCCEDANEUM, so universal Y recommended by the Faculty of England, France, and othe Continental cities; the operation of stopping decayed Teet is performed in a few seconds; the Mineral is put into th cavity in an almost liquid state, without pain, heat, or pre re, hardens into Enamel, allays the most excruciating pain, aking a stump into a whole:: Tooth, and lasts for many years, preventing the necessity of extraction. _ Messrs.

Incorrodible Mineral 'Teeth placed, from one to a complete set, which are incapable of discolouration. or corrosion, fixed without wires or ligatures, renders it impossible to distinguish the Artificial Teeth from the natural ones, and warranted to answer every purpose of articulation and mastication, and will be found in every respect amply competent to supply the plate of their predecessors. Natural Teeth fixed on the above im proved principle. The Faculty are constantly welcome to witness the applica tion of the MINERAL ScCCEDANEUM, which they so universally recommend. Messrs.

CONTEMPORARY PRESS. We have received communication of the following letter from Mauritius, dated the 4th of May. " Since the 27th of February, the day of the depar ture of our deputy for England, I have not thought it necessary to write you. Though two months have elapsed since that period no event has interrupted the uniformity of their course. The colonial government has positively done nothing, has adopted no measure. During the whole of this interval it has remained plunged in a state of profound torpor, and but for the enormous salaries which the crowd of civil and military servants continue to draw from the treasury, it might be supposed that there was no longer any government. The police alone seemed to have preserved some remains of exist ence, net in checking delinquency and crime, for never have cases of theft and of marooning been more numer.. ous, but in persecuting strangers established at Mau ritius. The .majority of these persons are small dealers and workmen, who have brought from Europe their seve ral handicrafts, in which the colony finds the greatest advantage in the manufacture of various articles of mer chandise, which it would be otherwise obliged to import from abroad. Without any reason that can be guessed at, the police has fallen furiously on these peaceful in dividuals, and has intimated to them a positive order to quit the colony without delay. Some of these persons are well known to the department to have been residing here with its express permission, and in consequence of recognizances entered into by them fifteen or twenty years ago. There are several who have married creole wives, and have had children born to them in the island. The police evinces no consideration for those ties which attach them to our colony, but expels them from it with out even assigning a cause for so severe a measure. This applies, however, only to the French, Italians, and Swiss. As for those of English origin, from whatever part of the globe they come, they are received with favour. We have several examples of convicts escaped from Botany Bay, from whom the police do not even require a pass port. They publicly abandon themselves to theft, to the reception of stolen goods, and the fraudulent sale of spi rituous liquors, without being at all molested. " It is now nearly a month since we have been threat ened with famine. The universal persuasion that the Mauritius is sacrificed as a victim to Mr. Jeremie and to anarchy, has prevented the merchants of Calcutta from, sending the usual supplies of rice necessary for our con sumption. This commodity has suddenly risen to an ex cessive price. The bag which sells commonly at three and four dollars, was paid for as high as fifteen. At last it failed us altogether, awl it became necessary to support our famishing slaves on corn and manior,' the price of which was doubled. The government, in spite of reit erated entreaties addressed to it from all quarters, would absolutely take no precautionary measure to prevent this scarcity. Perhaps it regarded with satisfaction the pos sibility of seeing Mauritius depopulated by famine, and i of repeopling it by Englishmen, to whom it might cede our lands. It has not even despatched one frigate out of three which are now in the harbour, either to Ceylon, to India, or elsewhere, in order to make known our wants, and to prevail upon the merchants to ship supplies of rice, which they would have sold at a large profit. In the meantime, fortunately, two English and two French vessels, loaded with rice, have arrived from India. The regulations of the Custom House do not allow of the importation of this commodity by foreign ships; but in an emergency . like that of famine, the colonists imagined that the go vernment might grant a special dispensation, as other governors had done in similar circumstances. The ad-- ministration hesitated during several days, and only yielded at last to the most urgent entreaties. This im portation has brought clown the bag of rice to four dollars. " To this scourge another has succeeded. Mr. Jeremie arrived on the 29th of April on board the Jupiter ship of the line. Though all the colonists had determined be forehand to respect the express pleasure of his Majesty, and to allow their mortal enemy to return among them, Mr. Finners, the chief commissary of police, purposely affected to entertain fears for the personal safety of the new Procureur General; at his landing, which was ef fected with precipitation, lie surrounded him with police guards. You will find all the details of those miters in the Courier paper which I send you, and it would there fore be superfluous to repeat them here. Every thing contained in that journal is the expression of the unani mous opinion of the colonists. Its sentiments are ours. The facts reported in it are of the most scrupulous accu racy, and you and all our frien4 in London may repose in it the most entire confidence. _ " You will observe that Mr. Jeremie has lost nothing of his arrogance, and that ire has begun by insult." — Guardian and Public Ledger.

I.—A strange report 'cached us last evening of a man having attempted the life of a girl six years old, by ty ing a heavy stone round her neck and casting her into the sea off Seaford. Ile miscreant was observed by the preventive men, who got the child out and took the man into custody. A long time elapsed ere the child recovered. She said she had been stolen from her home at Brighton by the man who attempted to destroy her. She had no ;narks of violence about her.—A day or two ago, as some boys were gathering nuts in a field near Hurstperpoint, a small village about eight miles from this place, one of them fell from a bough into a ditch, in which he discover ed the skeleton of a human being. About six months ago, a pauper named Jupp was missing from the parish of Hurstper point, and the skeleton has been recognised as that of Jupp's, by a handkerchief which he was in the habit of wearing round his waist being found fastened to it. He occasionally left the poor house, and obtained a scanty subsistmce by begging, and when he was refused food he usually threatened to starve himself, and it is supposed he carried his desperate threat into execution. He had no relations residing in the parish. The bones were put into THE LIVERPOOL STA-INWARD. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. We received last night, (Wednesday,) by one of the General Steam Navigation Company's packets, tlamburgh and Brussels Papers to the 31st ult. and Ist instant respectively. Except that they confirm the . reported journey of the Emperor of Russia into Germany, the German papers contain no news of the slightest importance. It is now stated that the Autocrat is travelling . in cog. but with a large suite of attendant Princes and Diplomatists, amongst the rest that lion of Russian intrigue, Count Orloff, was to arrive at Stettin, in Prussia, upon the 23th, to meet the King and Crocien Prince of Prussia, in order, no doubt, to win them over to his views; but nothing certain was, of course, known as to the objects'of the projecteS interview. Every thing tends to show that the cabinet of St. Petersburgh is meditating . some grand stroke in diplomacy, in the hope, perhaps, of retrieving lost cha racter with Europe. The King of Prussia had already arrived at Potsdam. The question of the Duchy of Luxemburg has be come a subject of discussion in the German Diet. The King of Holland declines acceding to the request of using his influence to conciliate the members of the diet and Austria. Prussia and two or three other states have, it is said, refused their assent, and even threatened to send plenipotentiaries to the London con ference to protest against any division of that Grand Duchy.— This affair of Luxemburc , is at present the point epinemr of the negotiation.—Morning herald. ZURICH, Aug. 22.—Yesterday evening Colonel Dufour re turned from Basle, and declared that the town was perfectly tranquil, and the whole canton iu high spirits since the determi nation of the diet respecting the total separation was made known there. By the official return sent in by Colonel Dufour, it ap pears that the garrison of Basle, on the 3d of August, went out 480 strong, out of which 68 were killed, and 86 dangerously wounded. The number of killed on the part of the people was 58. Letters from Colonel Waters' camp at Dukhnall, April 6, men tion that the country in that neighbourhood was gradually becom ing tranquil. Many of the head men of villages and others were coming in to Commissioner Wilkinson, and executing Kubboo )eats—giving at the same time security for future good behaviour. A part of the force, with the guns, was about to return to Cut tack, and the rest it was supposed would soon follow. The com missioner himself, it is said, did not expect to remain out in the district above a month or six weeks longer.--Bengal Hurkaru, Apiil 12. Letters are pouring in from the indigo districts, with doleful accounts of the 'planters' prospects. In Kishuagur, the hot winds have parched up the grounds to such a degree that nothing but a heavy fall of rain (of which there is little prospect at pre sent) will give them a chance of a crop; and even in Tirhoot, where drought is least apprehended, the planters are crying out for want of rain. Hitherto the season very much resembles that of 1826.—Calcutta Courier. FALL OF THE BRIGHTON ANTH-EUM. BRIGHTON, SEPT. I.—This stupendous structure has shared , the fate of the Brunswick Theatre, but happily the destruction of it has not been attended with loss of life. It fell on Friday evening With a tremendous crash, and the noise it made resern= bled the distant rumbling of thunder. This immense edifice was commenced about twelve months since, under the superintend ence of an eminent botanist, Mr. Phillips, of this town, whose knowledge of horticulture is very extensive. The building was composed entirely of iron, weighing between 400 and 500 tons, and it formed the largest dome ever constructed, exceeding in size that of St. Peter's in Rome by upwards of 8,0(X) superficial feet. The glazing, which was to have been commenced on Mon day, would have taken a long time to complete, it requiring nearly two acres of glass to cover the dome. The planting had been commenced some time, the choicest plants had been col lected, and a great many eminent persons were contributors, including _the Duke of Devonshire. The work had progressed rapidly, and the building promised to stand a monument of ar chitectural beauty. A great portion of the scaffolding had been removed, and, on Friday afternoon, the whole of it was taken down, and every thing appeared firm. In an hour or two after wards, however, a portion of the iron-work was heard to crack, and the workmen, having timely notice of the same, removed from the premises. The crackling continued for some time, and then fears were entertained for its safety. The principal gar dener had scarcely left the interior when it came tumbling down with an awful crash; the immense ribs of iron snapped asunder iu ten thousand pieces; and a great part of it, from the height it fell, was buried several feet deep in the earth. The destruc tion of this great edifice is accounted for only by the immense weight of iron at the top, which, when unsupported b y the scat: folding, folded in, and forced its way to the ground. The ruins were visited yesterday by several hundred persofis. It was Si tuated at the western extremity of the town, and would have formed one of the most splendid ornaments in the world. We have not heard the estimated damage, but it is certain that it could not be rebuilt under several thousand pounds. The prin cipal loser is, we understand, a gentleman named Goldsmid, and one of our builders, it is supposed, cannot have lost far short of £5OO. MURDER AT WANTAGE. Dear Sir,—This morning (Saturday), between six and seven o'clock, a murder of the most horrid kind was discovered at the White Hart public-house, in this town. A little boy, step son of •Ann Pullin, landlady of the White Hart, came down stairs, and was about to open the window-shutters, when he discovered his mother lying on the floor, with her head severed from her body. The head was lying near the feet, opposite the fire-place, and the shoulders towards the door. An alarm was given, and constables were despatched to Letcombe, a village about two miles distant; and a young man named George King, of Cumnor, who was employed in bean-cutting, was arrested. Seven p.m.—l am just returned from the inquest; and after a very patient and persevering investigation by a most respect able jury, the coroner committed the prisoner to the custody of the constable for the night, and was about to adjourn the court till to-morrow morning, when the constable brought back the prisoner, saying he was willing to confess who it was that com mitted the dreadful deed; that he was not the person, but that he knew who was the murderer. The coroner said he would take the confession in private, and the court was adjourned. The whole town and neighbourhood are in the utmost confusion and alarm. If I learn the nature of the confession in time for to-morrow's post you shall hear.—lnterim, 1 remain yours, most respect. fully, WILLIAM GLANVILLE, Baptist Minister. Wantage, Saturday, Aug. 31. Lord's-day, Sept. 1, 4 p. m.—The prisoner King has confessed that, on his way from Harmey to \Vantage, he was with a man called Ned Grant, and went with him to the White Hart; that Grant went in and called for a . pint of beer, and he (prisoner) stood at the door; and, after being . there about five minutes, be heard something fall, and went in and saw the bead was struck from the body, and the blood spouting about on the walls; that Grant pushed him back, and gave him the murdered woman's purse and ss. 6d., and swore that if he split (told) he would murder hhn the first time he met with him; that Grant then left for the village of Sparsholt. • The country has been scoured for miles round, and no such person as Grant has been found or heard of. Excuse haste; having had to conduct three services already to-day, and being about to go off to preach in a village, I am prevented from en larging. The inquest is still holding. The murdered woman was a poor defenceless widow. P.S.—The head was severed from the body at one stroke with a large bean-hook. The bone of the neck was cut through.— Christian Advocate. SLAVERY ABOLITION BILL. AGAINST THE THIRD READING OF THE SLAVERY ABOLITION DISSENTIENT,. Ist. Because it is attempted by this hill to emancipate a na tion of staves not prepared by a previous course of education, of religious instruction, or of training to habits of industry or of intercourse,social for the position in which they will be placed in society. 2d. Because the value, as possessions of the crown of Great Britain, of the colonies in which these negroes are located, as well as the value of their estates to the proprietors and colonists, depends upon the labour of the negroes to obtain the valuable produce of the soil, sugar, whether as slaves, as apprentices, or as free labourers for hire. 3d. Because the experience of all times and of all nations, particularly that of modern times, and in our own colonies and in St. Domingo, has proved that men uncivilized and at liberty to labour or not, as they please, will not work for hire at re gular agricultural labour in the low grounds within the tropics; and the example of the United States—a country but thinly peopled in proportion to its extent and fertility, and always in want of hands—has shown that even in more temperate climates the labour of emancipated negroes could not be relied upon for the cultivation of the soil; and that the welfare of society, as well as that of the emancipated negroes themselves, required that they should be removed elsewhere. 4th. Because the number of negroes on the several islands and settlements on the continent of America; in which they arc located, is so sinsll in proportion to the extent of the country which they occupy, and the fertility of the soil is so great, and the climate (however insalubrious and little inviting to exertion and labour) is so favourable to vegetation and the growth of all descriptions of the produce of - the earth, that it cannot be ex pected that these emancipated slaves, thus uneducated and un trained, will be induced to work for hire. sth. Because upon this speculation depends the value of a capital of not less than £200,000,000 sterling, including therein the fortunes and existence in a state of independence of thou sands of colonists and . proprietors of estates. in the, eoloniee , t-.• the tradeOf the country—the employment of 250,000 touts of Bri tish shipping, and of 25,000 seamen--and a revenue which pro-I duces to the Exchequer, upon sugar alone, not less than £5,000,000 sterling per annum. 6th. Because the Bill, in enforcing upon the colonists the emancipation of their slaves, attains its object by enactments and measures least calculated to conciliate their feelings and interests, and those of the local legislatures. by whose influence and authority the powers of government in the colonies must continue to be exercised. _ 7th. Because in the details of the measure an engagement made to the proprietors of estates in the colonies has been vio lated; and a resolution agieed to by both houses of Parliament, and communicated to the colonies, has been departed from, and the period of apprenticeship altered from 12 years to six. Pro prietors who have slaves of 12 years of age arc under the neces sity of making them apprentices as domestics or as artificers. Persons are to be appointed special magistrates (for the execu tion of the measures ordained by this Bill), unconnected with. the colonies, not sufficient in number for the performance of the duty even of protecting the property and persons of the re sident proprietors, or sufficiently paid to render them respect able, or even efficient. The colonial legislatures are required to enact laws to carry into execution these measures, under pain of the loss by pro prietors of slaves in the colonies of all participation of the com pensation held out by the Bill, in case those laws should not be conformable to the model therein given to thein. The compen sation for loss is not in reality raised or granted ; nor does the interest upon the grant accrue from the period at which the sacrifice of property is to be made for which it is stated to be intended that the compensation should be according to the usual practice. The colonial legislatures must first pass certain laws; and then commissioners, appointed under authority of the Bill, are to proceed to make a distribution among nineteen colonies of the whole sum held out, and that according to a principle which is considered by many of the colonial proprietors to be partial and unjust. This distribution having been made and agreed to, the detailed distribution to each proprietor of the compensation is to be made by the same commissioners; but appeals to his Majesty, in Council may be made upon the original, as well as upon every other distribution by the Commissioners, each. of them requiring renewed reference to the colony, and occasioning of course interminable litigation and delay—thus postponing the re ceipt of compensation by the proprietor of the slave for years after he will have lost the benefit of his services. Bth. Because the extension of the act 52 Geo. 111., cap. 155, by the 61st clause of the bill to the colonies, is not necessary for the apprenticeship and emancipation of the slaves in the colonies. It is not justified by any thing that has passed; and will be considered by the colonial legislatures as a gratuitous in jury, and a breach of their independent authority, as provided by the acts of 1773, and respected from that time to this. WELLINGTON, I ENSHURSI, ST. VINCENT, 1 WYNFORD. THE LATE GALES. MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK.—During the severe gale on Saturday morning, a Scotch smack, bound to London, with a number of passengers ,on board, was wrecked on the Norfolk coast, and every person, with the exception of seven, perished. Among the sufferers was Mrs. Hamilton, the wife of a respect able tailor in Nicholas-lane, Lombard-s'reet, and, it is supposed, her three children, who were on board with her. Yesterday morning the melancholy tidings of the unfortunate occurrence were conveyed to Mr. Hamilton, in a letter written by one of the survivors, and he at once left town to reach the scene of cala mity. The letter conveyin g the melancholy intelligence to Mr. Hamilton appeared to have been written under strongly excited feelings, and did not enumerate the number of persons on board, or many particulars of the unfortunate occurrence. DISASTERS ON THE COAST.—The weather, during the latter part of last week, was extremely boisterous, with heavy falls of rain. Several vessels have been wrecked on the adjacent coast by the violence of the gales. On Thursday night the Thothas Burrows, Dawson, from Tortola for Lancaster, came to anchor off Sunderland, near that port. During the night, by some ac cident, s h e drifted, and, striking on a bank, overset. The crew escaped in the boat; but Captain Dawson, who was anxious to save the ship's papers, was unfortunately drowned ere he could quit the cabin. On the following night the wind blew a strong -gale from the northward, and the rain fell in torrents. The mercury in the barometer fell very low. The vessels at anchor in the river rode out the gale with difficulty, one or two of them having dragged their anchors. The inward-bound vessels kept out at sea, and ran in with safety on Saturday forenoon, with the exception of the barque Beverley, from St. John's, N. 8., which, after showing signals of distress, ran ashore on the Dove Point, t o the westward of Leasowe Lighthouse, and near to the entrance of Chester river. At low water the vessel is high and dry. One of the river steamers was driven on shore not far from the spot where the Beverley struck. Part of the wreck of a large sloop or schooner was floating near Hilbre Island, the vessel is supposed to have been wrecked, during the night, on the banks. Her cargo appeared to have been grain. A sloop was also discovered to have been wrecked on Puffin Island, in Beaumaris Bay. In the course of Saturday a smack sunk near the Voryd, and all hands perished. The gale con tinuing on Saturday night, the Russian ship Richard Brandt, which was at anchor in Bootle Bay, drifted and ran foul of the Princess Victoria, whose bowsprit was carried away. The Richard Brandt brought up in the Sloyne. ' These are all the disasters we have as yet heard of; we fear, however, that several more must have happened during the gales. THE WEATHER.—WC do not recollect a greater or more sudden change in our variable climate, than that which occurred on Friday last. The weather previously hail been beautifully fine, and remarkably warm for several days; but towards noon the wind chopped round to the north and brought with it a cold and uncomfortable rain. Towards evening, and the whole of the night, the wind blew a perfect hurricane from N.W. by N., and we fear it will be found -to have done considerable damage not only to the shipping, but to the crops. The tide in the Dee was considerably affected by it, and it will be seen by - another paragraph, that about 170 sheep belonging to Mr. Congreve, of Burton, were destroyed. The wind continued remarkably strong and cold during the whole of Saturday, Saturday night, and part of- Sunday, resembling more the month of December than the termination of August.—Chester Courant. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—We regret to have occasion to relate the particulars which have reached us of an accident that occurred in or near the Channel on Thursday night, and which has proved fatal to Mr. and Mrs. Pring, who kept the hotel at Portishead, as well as to several other persons who accompanied them. The party embarked at Rownham ferry, in Mr. Pring's boat, about eight o'clock.. It was his usual custom to be attended by two boatmen, but on this occa sion only one had worked the boat from Portishead; and this man not being on the spot at the hour appointed for returning, Mr. P. set sail without him. The night was dark, and the wind blowing in sudden gusts; on arriving at Pill, between nine and ten o'clock, the pilots there, to whom he was well known, represented to him the danger lie incurred in venturing into the Channel unassisted, at that late hour and in unfavourable weather, and one of them, named Dibbins, requested that he might be allowed to assist in navigating the boat to Portishead; but this offer was unfortunately declined, Mr. Pring expressing his opinion that there was no danger, and that he should not require assistance. The party accordingly pursued their voy age; and we regret to add that the boat was swamped on its passage, probably by a sudden squall of wind, and it is feared that all were drowned. The body of Mrs. Piing was washed ashore yesterday afternoon at a place called the " English Grounds," near - the HolmeS, and was conveyed from thence to Portishead; the bowsprit and other parts or the boat, together with a bt.ri in which Mr. Pring was in the habit of carrying- a change of clothes, have been picked up at Pill. The other bodies had not been found up to last evening, and great anxiety has been caused by the uncertainty which exists as to the per sons who were in the boat with Mr. and Mrs. Pring. Mr. P. was well known in the city, and was much respected.—Felix Farley's Bristol Journal. The Britannia, Metherell, from Liverpool to Newfoundland, was run down by the American vessel Ajax, on the 26th June, 15 miles N.W. of Bardsey, and immediately sunk. The crew and passengers were all drowned, with the exception of one man, Wm. Ivory. We are concerned to state that among the sufferers was Mr. Thos. Thorne, second son of Mr. 'l'. Thorne, Newfoundland merchant, of this city.—Felix Farley's Bristol Journal. DREADFUL SHIPWRECK. By a passenger who arrived in a steam-vessel from Calais, we learn the following particulars of a most melancholy occurrence which took place during the tremendous storm on Saturday night, within half-a-mile of the port of Boulogne:— " Early in the afternoon of that day, our informant thinks between two and three o'clock, a vessel, said to be the Amphi trite, limiter, commander, bound for Botany-bay, with 125 fe male convicts on board, and several children; grounded about half-a-mile to the right of Boulogne, and within a short distance of the shore. Assistance was promptly tendered, but was re fused by the captain in the most positive manner. It is said that he - even carried .a pistol in each hand, threatening to shoot any person who should attempt to come on board. His obstinacy is supposed to have proceeded from the hope that the ship would be got off on the return of the tide; and he is represented to have been further stimulated by the surgeon, who insisted, that as the custody of the women had been confided to him by the government, it was his duty to take care that no communication should take place between them and the shore. The captain is said to have been a young man, not more than twenty-five years , of age, and to 'his inexperience the fatal event must be attri buted. The possibility of the vessel becoming imbedded in the sand seems not to have occurred to him. For a considerable time the vessel lay within a furlong of the multitude who had collected on the spot; every individual on board might have been landed with perfect safety ; and the prisoners might have been re-embarked next 4y, it' the vessel had remained safe. The rashness of both captain and surgeon is, therefore, unac countable. When the tide returned, the danger was irreme diable : the violence of the storm continued unabated ; and as the ship did not float, the perilous condition of the crew could no loner be concealed. The women, who had been shut up under the hatches, are said to have forcibly burst from the place of their confinement, the majority of them congregating in the cabin. A little before ten o'clock the waves broke through the poop, and swept away, in an instant, every soul in the cabin. l'he work of destruction was soon completed ; in a few moments the ship went to pieces, and out of 154 persons on board, only three escaped to land ! and one of these died a few ,hours after wards. " The captain is stated to have got on the same raft which bore to the shore one of the, survivors, but a wave carried him off, and though he swam for some time, he ultimately perished. The surgeon and his wife also met a watery grave. " On the following morning the shore was strewed with the wreck, many parts of which furnished evidence of unsoundness. The vessel is said to have been Very old, having been built nearly thirty years ago, and altogether ,unfit to have been em ployed longer in any service. A rigorous investigation on this head will, it is hoped, be instituted. " Owing to the distance at which the British Consul resides from the port, he was not apprised that the vessel had struck until several hours afterwards, but he then repaired to the spot, and, doubtless, rendered all the assistance in his power. _ "The bodies of sixty-five women and one man were washed on shore in the course of Saturday night." FURTHER PARTICULARS The accounts froncibTcoaSj:(tl;;oects of the dreadful gale on Friday and Saturday last are truly appalling, and the destruction of human life and property extremely great. The names of no less than 59 vessels appeared on the books at Lloyd's on Monday and yesterday, most of which are total wrecks. In the North Sea several large vessels were seen in a dismasted state, with the sea making a clear breach over them. The Amphitrite, convict ship, bound to New South Wales, and the Ann and Amelia, from Bengal-to London, were driven on shore near Boulogne ; the former soon went to pieces, and out of 130 persons on hoard, consisting of 101 women, about 11 children, and 18 of the crew, (including the master and sur geon), only three seamen were saved. the Ann and Amelia, it is feared, will be totally wrecked, but part of the cargo is expected to be saved. Mr. Skelton and Mr. Buck, surgeon and midshipman, and two seamen, were drowned : their bodies have since been found. The William Friend, which had arrived in the Downs safe on Friday, was during the gale blown to the opposite coast, and was totally wrecked near Calais, and ten of the crew were drowned. The annexed letter has been received from the agent to the Amphitrite, lost near Boulogne : -TO - TIM - trirrait OF TT! 13 - -TIMES. " Sir,—Permit me to correct part of your statement relative to the unfortunate Amphitrite, lost at B - oclog,ne. - The late Mr. John Hunter, the master and owner, was full 33 years of age, had been regularly brought up to the sea, and commanded a s hip as far back as eight years ago. " The British Consul at Boulogne says, the master and the surgeon having with pistols refused assistance is untrue. The Amphitrite, although of the age mentioned, was a perfectly sound vessel, having in March last had a very thorough repair at Deptford, under the inspection of the King's officers, being then in the transport service, and previous to her commencing the voyage on which she was lost she was most minutely ex amined by the said officers, and found every way fit to perform the same. " Relying OIL your known desire to.correct any statement in which you have been misled, I trust to your insertion of the substance of the above in any way you may see best. " I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, " Great Abe-street, Sept. 3. " J. LACHLAN." Mr. Charles Bessell, the able and indefatigable secretary of the General Steam Navigation Company , London, has ad_ dressed the following letter to the newspapers : " - General Steam Navigation Company, No. 69, Lombard-street, London, Sept. 4. "Sir,—l am desired to send you the following extract from a letter, received this morning from the agent of this company at Ostend, stating that the Talbot steam-boat had gone on shore, near the entrance of that harbour. _ _ " It will be seen with satisfaction that be the judicious con duct of the captain, the passengers were all 'landed in safety : _ . " Ostend, Sept. '2. " ' I have the painful duty to report the Talbot steam-boat being stranded near the entrance of this harbour, between twelve and one o'clock yesterday. This misfortune will, how ever, be greatly mitigated by the knowledge that no lives were lost, which may be greatly attributed to the ability and good judg ment displayed by Captain Major in placing the vessel in a favourable position, after every other effort had become useless. No less than three vessels of different descriptions were wrecked at the same time with the Talbot, and it is only astonishing how she kept the sea so long; the gale commenced on Friday night, and continues with little abatement to the present time." "I am, sir, your obedient servant, "CHAS. BESSELL, Secretary." SHIP BUILDING.—The ship-builders' yards, on the Clyde, exhibit the hum and bustle of industry. Scarcely.. a week has passed this season but one or more vessels, a. goodly number of them steamers of the largest class, have been launched; and no sooner has one vessel gone off the stocks than another keel is laid in her place. Three or four large ships, destined for the China trade, are in course of building—and which, when com pleted, will exhibit a commentary on the excellency.. of Clyde ship-building.—Glasyow Courier. PROPOSED - PLAN OF EMIGRATION TO TIE HIGH LANDS OF THE BRITISH WES INDIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL ST.IXD✓IRD. Six,—ln my last letter on this subjett4, proposed to shew, Ist.-T-." the benefit likely to arise to the negroes from emigra tion."—l have already endeavoured to chew, that happiness is not a necessary consequence of idleness—that the negroes aro by nature indolent, and that great apprehensions are to be entertained, that when they become entirely their own masters they will indulge their idle habits to such au excess, as may cause them to relapse into a state of barbarism. These are the views which caused my opposition to the mea sure, before it became the law of the land, and it is to the cor rection of this point I now address myself. Allow me here to call upon every friend to the abolition of slavery, upon those who most violently opposed it, upon all those who wish well to their country, and to humanity, to co operate with me in this great measure. I must call upon my readers to imagine to themselves a coffee estate with, say, three hundred negroes upon it, the minds of whom have been for the last ten years kept in a state of high excitement by the agitation of measures in this country intended for their benefit; these measures are now determined upon ; but,—will the negroes be satisfied with them ? Are they such as will come up to their previously formed expectations ? No ! with them, "labour" and "slavery," are, as yet, synonymous terms. The word ‘,"APPRENTICE" they will not understand, and they will look, it is to be feared, to the expiration of it, as the period when they are "free to be idle." An unwelcome fact this to the friends of the bill; but because unwelcome, let it not be concealed, let us rather look at it in the face, and if possible overcome it. Let us then imagine the probable effect of the introduction of ten white families of our civilized peasantry, consisting, say of five persons each,—into thi s co mm unity of thr e e hundred blacks. Let us suppose that such only be sent as have habits of morality and industry previously formed, that comfortable cottages are prepared for them, moderate labour furnished to them, and re muperation in return—equal to the supply not only of the ne ceAsaries and comforts, but luxuries of life—let us look at, say thirty of these fifty persons, attending to their agricultural la bour with alacrity during the hours devoted to work,—and returning to their white-washed cottages and happy-families in the evening ; there and in their own immediate circle enjoying themselves, as the labourers of England do, when the toils of the day have ceased. Man, all over the world, is an imitative animal. The cleanly cottages—the small but neat gardens be fore the door of the whites, would first attract notice ; then, the decent clothing, the moral conduct of English families as com pared with negroes, would in time command attention.. Then the unwearied industry, the thought of..providing for the future support of themselves and families, which their habits would exhibit, would be observed; and, in the course of time, is it unreasonable to hope, imitated? The desire to be equal to them would be created, and the gratification of, this desire could only be accomplished by industry. The negroes on this estate would soon discover that these "buckras" and their " picaninnies" were obliged to work in the field like themielves, and that ex actly the same means would be open t 6 them to reach the same end at the expiration of their apprenticeships. The machinery of life would thus be daily placed b.,fore their eyes, in the operations of which, by and by, they are to take their part. This chiefly (but not only) is the education which I would give them. There are upwards of 300,000 negroes in Jamaica alone. Let me ask the philanthropist to picture to himself the great moral effect likely to be produced in the course of a very few years on such a number of our fellow-creatures by the plan which I pro pose.—l now come to show, secondly, "the benefit to the emi grants." The Earl of Belmore, when Governor of Jamaica, once ad dressed the House of Assembly in these words :—" The re sources of this fine island can never be fully developed so long as slavery exists." Never did statesman make a truer, seldom a more ill-timed observation., Years hence wilt show that his lordship spoke with a . prophotie ken; and 'years hence, those who blamed will praise. There is not a berry of coffee or pimento shipped from the island, the labour attendina which cannot be done by white European men, women, and children. The labour to be performed is like the gathering of goose berries, (sans epines,) then the coffee has to be pulped, dried upon the barbicues, put into bags, and is carried to the low lands upon the backs of mules and asses. In short, I fear lessly assert that one-third of the labour performed by the 300,000 negroes in Jamaica, can be done better by the white Europeans, and without injury to their health. The remuneration that they would receive would be—a com fortable cottage for each family, and a certain quantity of ground attached. But I shall here give an extract from a letter which 1 received by the last packet, from a very particular friend in Jamaica, au eminent medical practitioner, and an extensive proprietor:— " Kingston, Jamaica, Bth July, 1833, " You would be conferring a great benefit both upon us and your poor fellow-countrymen were you to send out to us a number of them as free labourers. I would instantly place some hundreds of them in the mountains beyond the line of fever, where there would be abundance of occupation and better pay than they re ceive in their own country. Their food would be yams, (like and equal to any potatoes,) plantains, cocoa, salt fish ; their own hogs and poultry, and sometimes fresh and salted beef and pork ;—houses, gardens, and clothing, besides a sum in money, weekly," &c. &c. The following is from a German planter, resident in St. Da vid's. Jamaica : " Wishing now, as well as yourself, to forward the welfare of and secure the properly in the island, I am ready to take twenty free labourers,* males and females with their children, but ex cluding old people, under the following conditions :—For the first year I could pay to each able person £8 Jamaica currency, maintaining them for nine months in the following articles, viz. twelve . yards of duck, six yards of pennistones, a coarse hat, one pair of shoes, one iron pot sufficient for two people, and one frying pan, giving them for food a weekly allowance of 501bs. of yams or cocoa, or 70 full grown plantains, Gibs. salted fish, and Gibs. salted pork, or fresh if it could be procured, coffee, and half pound of sugar, and one quart of rum. To enable them to maintain themselves after the first nine months,,l agree to as sign them on their arrival two acres of virgin land for each labourer for cultivation. It requires no remark that I would provide for them good commodious habitations, and on finding them faithful and industrious improve their wages. Infant chil dren I would maintain until their parents were able to do it themselves, and those that could be in any way useful to the property I would give clothing. Medicines and medical attend ance I could keep for these emigrants the first year only, leaving it to them to procure these things afterwards." But, doubtless, the industrious emi„, ,, rant would look forward to something beyond being a mere labourer, if not for himself, fOr his children. And where, let me ask, is there a better field for industry and perseverance? Almost every description of climate that is to be found in Europe is to be met with in Jamaica. In short, the cold, dismal, cloudy, wet days of this country are there unknown, and a healthier race does not exist than the in habitants of the mountains. _ _ • _ Hundreds of thousands of acres of rich and fertile land in the parishes of St. James, St. David's, St. George, &c. &c. remain still in a state of nature, and to this hour uncultivated; valuable copper and other mines, unexplored, and whole forests of rich and rare. timbers, uncut, in consequence of the want of roads; and difficulty of conveying it to the sea-coast. Let, then, the tide of emigration flow thither ;—let British enterprise, British industry, British Capital, find a safe home thither, and then, and then only, can the "resources of that fine island be fully developed." This is but a feeble outline of the benefits-to the emigrants, but for the present it must suffice._ I now come, thirdly, to " the benefit of the planters," which shall dismiss briefly. The best proof is, that there are several letters in this country, (I hold four) requesting that free la bourers be sent out to them. Landed property would be of little value in this country without labourers to till the soil; the seine observation. applies to Jamaica, the owners of the soil there are apprehensive that the blacks will not work, and they want from this country whites that will, in order to make their freeholds valuable. It is chiefly with respect to the low lands that this apprehen sion exists. It is not, I hope, presumptuous, to suppose that the Almighty has created, in his all-wise providence, not only different climates in the world, but human beings to inhabit and to work in them, without injury to themselves respectively. I would not place a black man to work in the open air in Russia, or even in England, during the depth of winter, nor would I a white man to dig cane holes in the low lands of Ja maica; but I would, by my plan, endeavour to supersede the necessity of any black . labourers in the mountains, and by hav ing 50 to 60,000 whites there, bring down say 100,000 blacks to the low lands. This would benefit the planters without injury to the negroes; to the former it would give a greater quantity of labourers, consequently, a greater competition in the market, and a greater certainty of getting off his crops; to the latter, it would make the necessity of working greater, consequently, less fear of their relapsing into barbarism. I now come, fourthly, to the benefit to the mother country. You cannot benefit any of England's colonies without the largest portion of such benefit flowing; back to England. Let us then suppose the industry of fifty or one hundred thou sand persons transferred from this country, in which their ut most exeitions, early and late, can scarcely furnish the mere necessaries of life, to one where two-thirds the toil will bring three-fold the return. How will this additional return be spent? -It will reach Eng land every fraction of it; all their wants are English; and an additional impetus will be given to Enniish manufactures and to British shipping. Let us suppose that emigrants, or emi grants' children, make a fortune—where will it be spent ?—ln England, to be_sure. Will the successful Brazilian, or French, or Dutch merchants, planters, or emigrants do so ? No—but this is not the question, and I close this branch of my subject, being convinced that it must be allundantiy plain to those who may be disposed to spend a thought on it. Lastly, I come to an " outline of the plan." I confess I have not bestowed sufficient thought upon this part of the subject, but I-sUppose there cannot be much ffifli culty in carrying it into effect, if once determined upon. From the rules of the numerous emigration societies now formed, those parts could be adopted that would apply to the West Indies. Sufficient encouragement should be held out to induce our respectable peasantry to emigrate 7 -their passage I think ought to he paid, and none hut families permitted to em bark under the auspices of the society, and only such families as would bring to the director a satisfactory document signed by the clergyman of the parish, that such families were, to his own knowledge, industrious, sober, moral, &c. &parent society ought to be formed in this country; and in the hands of government, or patronised by them, so muci the better. Collateral branches in the colonies ought to be established, whose duty it should be to furnish the parent so ciety with lists of the probable number of emigrants required, and to see that proper cottages were erected for their reception, and to have mules, &c. waiting their arrival to send theua to their destination, without spending a day in the low lands. I have thrown my ideas together loosety, and I feel that I have not done justice to the subject; in short I have had but little leisure to devote to it, and I hope that it may be taken up by an abler pen.—Y ours, &c.

THE APPROACH OF PESTILENCE. — SOIne one of the Times' correspondents suggests the necessity of clean s i ng the streets, lest a pestilence break out, and recommends each householder to pay one shilling for th4t purpose, as a fund for employing the poor to cart the rubbish away. Query—does the correspondent include Printing-house-square in his range of nuisances? be cause, if he does, we shall be most happy to contribute our mite, for the " putrid matter" which issues from that sink is quite insupportable.—Age. LADY BLESSINGTON'S NOSE.—What ! How! Laughable! Ridiculous! Out of the question ! Impossible! Preposterous ! are exclamations naturally resulting from the notion that we are about to write an essay on Lady B.'s nose. Lord knows 'tis no such thing. We only mean to remark the singular fact, that the valuables stolen the other day from her ladyship's house, consisted almost exclusively of coronetted snuff-boxes. We lope her ladyship affecteth not a practice which sooner or later must substitute the epithet "snuffy" for "gorgeous."— Age. SEPTEMBER. 6, 1833. TIIE SPEAKER'S SPEECH TO THE KING ON THI3 PROROGATION OP PARLIAMENT. The Speaker, with about sixty or seventy members, appeared at the bar and delivered the following speech:— • " May it please your Majesty, " We, your Majesty's faithful Commons of the United Kunr . dom of Great Britain and Ireland, attend your Majesty wit" our last bill of supply. " And, sire, in reviewing our labours of the last seven mouths, it may, I think, be truly said that the history of Parlia ment will not furnish a session so wholly engrossed and over whelmed with matter so various and so difficult in its charac ter, and so deeply important to the vital interests of the empire as this session, which, with your Majesty's permission, is wow, about to close.. " Sire, we have applied our most anxious attention to the • completing new arrangements with the Bank of England, to . the renewal of the charter of the East Indi a C om pany, to the opening the trade and commerce of this country with China, t° the abolition of slavery in the West India colonies, to the re visal and alteration of the temporalities of that part of our established church in Ireland, to the making good the paymen t to the tithe-owners of Ireland of those arrears to which they were legally entitled, but of which, from the disturbed state of some parts of the country, they have been illegally deprived -- and to the endeavour (and, I hope, experience already e ntitle me to add, the successful endeavour) to restore the public pool and the security of life and property in that part of the Lnitett Kingdom, by the adoption of such measures of strength and severity as seemed alone adequate under such pressing neceshi' ties. " Indeed, sire, I may say than matter as important as nu merous, involving the greatness, the stability, and the welfare of this country, in its credit, in its colonial prosperity, !n trading and commercial interests, in the internal tranquillity! ) a portion of the empire, and in some of its great and ancientyl stitutions, have altogether most fearfully pressed upon us during the present session.

Our last advlces from New. York are to the 9th August. The following are the only extracts of any interest : CHOLERA.--The Cincinnati Herald of the 24th July, says, " 0 we feared, the great and oppressive heat that has Marked the last few days increased disease in our city. Yesterday 1113 ,1 t o ' day there have been a number of deaths from cholera; and ire very much fear it will continue to increase in malignancy i f there is not a change shortly in the weather. The thermomet er has ranged from 90 to 100. Business is dull in all parts of the city, and money mote than ordinarily scarce—the effects of the prevalence_of the disease in the surrounding country, mo re particularly in Kentucky. Five years, it is said, will not re" store many of the flourshing towns in Kentucky to the pro s ' perous state in which the cholera found them." Extract of a letter from Kershaw District, July 29. " Cottoil has commenced opening in the fields. A few open pods Wer e gathered from a plantation in Summer District, on Friday las t ' The prospect of the Planters in Sumpter, Kershaw and Lau" caster are very promising." GREENVILLE, (S.C.) July 27.—The weather has been alr" ceedingly hot and dry for the last ten or twelve days.—Althoug h there have been showers in different parts of the District, maul of the corn fields are suffering severely.—ln fact; if we do Oat have rain in a short time, the crop of corn will not yield more than one half its usual quantity. Oats are very fine this seasoep and the farmers have had an opportunity to harvest their ad without injury from rain. CHOLERA.—The following is an extract of a letter receive(' in Savannah :—" MURFREESBORO (Tenn) July 16. We arrive d here—within thirty-three miles of Nashville—yesterday, and find myself completely hemmed in by cholera on Ili' points. There has been but one case in this place, and tha t was brought from that ill fated little town Shelbyville, cow taining from 700 to 800 inhabitants—out of which, theta were in four days 105 deaths by cholera. It is said now that the cases in this section of the country are of a milder tYP than when it first broke out. Nashville is not yet clear from it but it appears to be subsiding. The Times of Monday last, in answer to a complahat of the Morning Post, which had detected the former in pilfering from its pages, says We never copy anY original matter without naming the source whence it comes." How cool, how precise, and yet how false ! It ar pears to be modesty and conscious innocence on the Par t of the Times; but it is, nevertheless, as full of asses, rance, and as untrue, as the swagger of a well-dress ed member of the swell mob. There is not a paper in Eu land more illiberal in its extracts, more contracted in i ts sources of domestic information, or one more addicted I n the meanness of pillaging other journals without ackno r ledgment. We could point out a hundred instances within the last six months, but one will for the presen t suffice, as it concerns ourselves. In the LIVERPOOL STANDARD Of the 20th August, a second edition, we published, exclusively, the procla mation of Lord MULGRAVE to the slave population 01 Jamaica, and that of Sir CARMICHAEL SMITH to the slave s of Demerara, with some extracts from the Janial Courant. These, we say, we received exclusively, 'a nd we introduced them with severffl connecting observati° o : of our own. The intelligence and the extracts were lie nour_ably acknowledged by several of the morning pap ers of ',Condon. The Times alone took -them wholesale' comments and all, and published them without obs'ertl: tion or acknowledgment ! Where then, goes the truth of its answer to the Morning Post 7 Is this the waY . which it "never copies any original matter without na °l ‘ ing the source whence it comes ?" Oh I oh! - If in the session of I?arliament just ended we ha y° reason to complain of an excess of talk, we cannot 011 good grounds complain of an insufficiency of pro The police reports of the metropolis too often inform u of cases where certain speculators pay a bill of te a pounds in order to obtain credit for five or ten times e .: much, thus appearing to be honest and prompt in ti lel e payments merely that their unsuspecting victims maY h thrown off their guard and easily defrauded to a °II' siderable amount. A large portion of our reformed representative s, are sorry to say, seem to act upon this rule.. They have not been content with talking time away iii the first see sion, but they have stated it to be their intention t 0„,,,, new the war of words, and recommence their u nceas l ; palaver in the session to which they look forward oleto pleasure, and to which the rest of his Majesty's su b j e , o f look forward with fear and trembling.
