TO THE EDITOR OP. THE BRITISH PRESS.

SIR,—In consequence of a fn the BritishPrey, which appeared this week, or ate in the last, milting
that it " was not generally knows that eve helfpcany only
was the legal demand on the part of the postman who cal.
lects letters and newspapers after five o clock, for the ge-
neral poet, in the case off' sreaospaperJ," I tendered a half-
penny to the postman next day, which he insisted se s not
the sum for a newspaper; I paid him therefore one
penny. Next day I went to the General Poet-office, to
ascertain the matter. The Secretaries there very politely
as. ured me that the newspaper reporters were at fault, u
the postman was legally entitled to a penny.
Wishing to aerve'your paper by correcting a misrepre-
sentation, I am, Sir, yours truly,
Wednesday. PRO BONO PUBLIC°.

s„,' We have inqttired ourselves at the Post-office, and
find our Correspondent to be correct. The paragraph to
which he alludes was copied from an Evening Paper.—En

MURDER—We sincerely regret to state that another bar-.
barons murder has lately been perpetrated in the parish
of Duagh, in this county, and on the immediate borders of
the county of Limerick, attended with circumstance of the
most wanton cruelty. The victim of this atrocious oat-
rage was a young man of exemplary character, named John
Dillane, who bad been but a short time married; and was
on the e►ening of the 20th inst., returning to hu place of
residence accompanied by his wife and brother, when he
was waylaid, and, without any provocation ou his part, was
basely murdered.—Tra/er Paper.
SUDDEN DEATH—Yesterday, about four o'clock, u
Mr. James Burnie, a subscriber to Lloyd's, was leaning
that establishment, in apparent good health, on reaching
the bottom of the staircase at the north door of the Royal
Exchange. he was taken suddenly ill, and retired to the
house of Mr. Weller, chymist and druggist, a few doors
off, in Threadneedle-street, arihere he almost immediately
expired in the arms of Mr. Weller.

CORN-EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, Dcc. 2.
Our supplies thin week consist of 8050 narks Flour, eV
Wheat, 4570 qrs. English, and 780 qra. foreign Barley, and 96
qrs. Oats. The Wheat trade continues in a very dull state. and
It is only for fine samples that buyers can be found; middling ard
inferior sorts are offered 2s. to 3s. per qr. under Monday's currency.
Fine malting Barley maintained its price, but was not so brisk
as on Monclay.tThe foreign left on hand being only 8t for grinding,
met a very limited demand, at a reduction of la. per qr. Their
was not any variation in the prices of Oats this morning. but this
trade was rather heavy. Beans and Pease fully supported Monday
's rates.

SMITHFIELD, FRIDAY, DEc.2.
Our market remains much the same as on Monday, as regards
Reef; but Mutton is somewhat short, and the demand is good it
6s. 2d. for small Downs; sizeable Sheep a crown ; and those of It
and 13 stone weight at 4s. &t. The supply of Veal is good lo
quality, and the trade Is better, 6e. being freely given for puns
Calves.

The Chairman then left the Chair, and the meeting separated.

Mr. Pepys, whose curious IMary and Correspondence
has lately been given to the public by Lord Bmybrooke, WAS, it ap-
pears, one of the earliest eolleetors of rare books. &c. in Eng-
land. He is thus alluded to by Mr. thlatin, in his liibliontomiu.
" The opening of the eighteenth Century was distinguished by the
death el a Bibliontaniae of the very first order and celebrity, of
ono v!m had, no doubt, frequently discoursed largely and elo-
quently with Luttrell upon the rarity and value of certain editions
of old band poetry ; and between whom presents of curious black
letter an!unies were, in all probability, frequently passing. 1 al-
lude to the famous Samuel Pepys, Seeremy to the Admiralty.
Now it is a ormvinring proof to me, that tile indulgence of a passion
for books is perleetly compatible with say situation, however
active and arduous. For while this illustrious Bibliomaniac was
sending forth his messengers to sweep every bookseller's shop from
the Tweed to Penzance, for the discovery of old and almost un-
known ballads; and a bile his name rang in the ears of rival col-
lecters, he was sedaloo., in his professional situation, to put the
Navy cf o England upon Mw most respectable looting: and is
called the father of that sy►tem, which, carried into effect by British
hearts of oak, has made the thunder of our cannon to be heard
and feared on the remotest shores."

The accounts lately received by eminent merchants who
have correspondence with the Condnent mention many
failures, and the existence of a general embarrassment,
which is likely to produce touch calamity. In many parts
of Germany and the Nethet-Inds the bankers' houses have
partially suspended their discounts; and it is supposed that
if the. Governments had not interfered, they would have
taken advantage of the searzity of money to impose very
on:rons conditions upon those houses which thcy continued
to accommodate.—Edinburg.'' 05scr:•:-.

LONDON, SATURDAY, DEceidnen 3, 1525.

We have received the I'aris morning papers of IVedaes-
day, and the Etoile dated Thursday. From the latter we
have extracted an article proftssing to come from Rio de
Janeiro. The writer evidently knows little of the subjects
on which he undertakes to speak very positively. We give
no faith to the story he tells concerning the secret article
by which it is pretended that the Emperor of Itn z: t. has
renounced his succession to the Portuguese C7OIVII in favour
of Don Mien et.. After what has passed in Lisbon since
the rc:urn of Jo n x VI, to Europe, we hold this statement
to be utterly ineredibk.
It appears by the Journal de Paris, that the diplomatic
intercourse between the great powers is at this moment
very active. It is understood that these negociations re-
'late to the affairs of Greece. The mission of Mr STRAT•
FORD CANNiwn has aroused the attention and jealousy of
the Austrian and Russian Courts, and we may reasonably
hope that his presence in the East will not long be unat-
tended with results favourable to the best interests of

THE GREEKS.

By his Majesty'. sloop of war the Sparrowhawk, which
left Smyrna on the 7th of September, It appears that the
latest information received there of the uniteek Turkish,
Egyptian, and Algetine fleet was, that they had all gone to
Alexandria, under the command of the Capitan Pacha, to
pbtain a reinforcement of troops.
Mahomet Ali, the Pashaw of Egypt, had shown himself
so luke-warm in the cause of the Porte against the Greeks,
that it was understood the Capitan Pacha had been in-
structed to decoy him off to his ship, and cause him either
to be beheaded or carried off to Constantinople. The ships
were all in a bad state, and at Alexandria means could not
he found to re-equip them. The principal nasal force of
the Greeks were refitting, with a view to intercept the
Turkish fleet, in their return to re•commencc hostilities its
the contest for possession of the Morea. The Egyptian
force in the Morea, under Ibrahim Pacha (son of the Vice-
roy of Egypt), is estimated at 10,003 men. Ile had lost
great numbers by sickness, and bis stragglers and foragers
are constantly cut off by the neighbouring partisans. All
the sick left at Tripolizza, with the troops stationed there
for theic protection, had lately been massacred to a man.
The Turks recently made an irruption into Livadia, but
being blockaded by the Greek ships, these operations were
necessarily suspended. A great number of French officers
are in the employ of the Turks and Egyptians. A few
English are in the Greek service, and only one in the
Egyptian, a surgeon, who was sent out to the Greeks, in
charge of a large quantity of medicines, provided fur theta
by some Quakers in this country ; lie had been subse-
quently induced by a large reward to enter Into Ibrahitn
Pacha s service.

The Sp 'nos:hawk conveyed to ?.ante, the English err,-
tain Treigwney, who took refuge with his brother-in-law
Odysseus, fn mthe revenge of the Greeks, in the fortified
cave on the s immit of Mount Parnassus. A treacherous
attempt lad been made by two fellows, employed by the
Greeks, to assassinate him, forhaving betrayed their cause.
Fie was shot in the back ; one ball passed out in the fro
of his shoulder, by which he lost the use of li;s arm, and
another passed through his neck and came out at his mouth.

110LBROOK'S RENOVATING STROPS; or
BONE and STROP combined. This invaluable compo.
altion possesses all the good qualities of the Hone without its de-
fects ; will answer the most sanguine expectation, and requires only
a fair trial to convince the most sceptic mind of its intrinsic merit.
It will not lose its virtues by time or climate, and one Strop, with
common care, will last a person his life. It is particularly recom.
mended to all those who value case and comfort in shaving; and all
who have ever yet tried it, will very readily alErm that few can
equal, and none, certainly, can excel it.
All Gentlemen who have hitherto experienced trouble and incon-
venience in shaving, will, by trying these useful Strops, find all
their wishes answed.

ASECOND SERIES OF ORIGINAL POEMS.—
•• Those who have been delighted (and none could fail to
be so) with the First Series of • Original Poems,' will be still mere
pleased with this. It is, indeed, ' a nice little book.' fhat
provement which is so generally manifest, now-a-days, in books
designed for youth, is by no means wanting here. Books as well as
other things, should be estimated by their utility rather than their
pretentions. We contemplate the pages before us, and rejoice to
perceive, that while piety and virtue pervade the sentiments they
contain, their indispensable simplicity is not unadorned by the
charms of poesy, which are scattered here and there like the daisies
of the meadow,—never prominent or obtrusive, yet increasing,
by their united effect, the beauty of the whole."—Philomatic

M E LA NCHOLvsmprrnrcKs..

Extract d a letter from Tyrella, in the county Down, dated
March 18th Early this mottling a large three-masted vessel,
apparently about .51)0 tons burihen, was observed besting into the
bey of Hendren'; on striking a rock or the grcund she imme-
diately fell over. end soon bran to go to pieces. The Rev. Geo.
Hamilton, of Balbriggan. situ h:ppeneil to be at Tyvtlls, his snit
in the county Down, ut which county he is a Magistrate, on going
to the sh re, ()and a rewatil to any persons who would venture in a
boat, in order, if possible, to save the lives of the crew. An attempt
was accordi.igly moose, but from the height of the surf and the
saes from the vessel, which were drifting about in every direction,
all approach to the wreck was found to be impracticable. Pre-
•iously to her going to pieces fifteesmen were counted on her deck
by the people on shore; and et the min tI:C of writing this there ere
two seen clinging to a rock neer the place sate st reel:, but until the
storm abates, or the tide falls, it is quite impossible to afford them
any assistance. The Rev. George Hamilton, together with :tlnjor
Rainey, of Mountpanther, Mr. Hamilton, land-weitcr of KC-
lough, and Mr. Ruud', of the same place, asttisted by the Pre-
ventive water-guard stationed at Tyr Ho and Killough, older Cap.
tale Morris and Mr. Aldred, are endeavouring to save as much of
the wreck as possible, and to rends sly assistance in their power.
One body has alreedy come on shore. It appears front some parent
found th .t the vessel was built at 31sryport, and hail left Liver-
pool since the ilth of this month ; hut of what the ca-go consisted,
or whithit she was bound, has not yet been ascertained.
" At the sante time another vessel was driven ashore close to the
rocks of Craigalea. The crew, consisting of eight men, were hap-
pily saved—being enabl.ll by the shelter afforded by the rocks to
reach the land. They are stow safely lodged at Tyrella House.
fhe vessel is called tit: Catherine, of Preston, bound from Work-
ington to Dundalk, and laden wish coals, hue 'feeling muter.
If the gale subsides, it is hoped the vessel oily be preserved.
" A boat has this moment succeeded is re-cuing the two persons,
a man and a boy, who were area on the rock. The vessel turns
out to be the John Little, of Liverpool, Savage master, bound for
Halifax. with a ceego of salt. There were fifteen persons on board,

AUGSRUDOH, Mu CH 17•
Letters from Trieste say, Out by the latest accounts from the
Archipelago nothing remarkable has occurred there.. The sea is
entirely open, for no armed vessels, Greek, Turkish, or Egyptian,
see to be teen. The principal squadron of the Greeks is at Hydra,
in which port great preparations are making for the next campaign.
They are building new ships of war as well as fire ship.. The
considerable remittances of money, and the consignments of
artillery and ammunition, which have been received from England
and Malta, contribute to Accelerate these precautions.
There is a report in circulation that tile Porte, desiring to keep
the Egyptian troops in its armies, has promised the Pacha of
Egypt to acknowledge him u sovereign of the. Peloponnesus as
soon as that province shall have been conquered. But it is much
doubted whether the Pacha will ever determine to leave the country
which he now governs, the remoteness of which renders him in a
measure independent of the Sultan.
Accounts from the frontiers of Servia say, that the representa-
tions of the Pacha of Belgrade against the Firman of the Sultan,
relative to the augmentation of the tribute imposed upon the
Servians, have been very ill received at Constantinople. A Tartar
who has arrived at Belgrade has brought formal orders to put the
Finnan of the Sultan into immediate execution.

The herring boats in the Frith were very unsuccessful last
week, scarcely any of them getting mote than a few hun-
dreds, anti some of them returning empty. This result, so
different from what the abundance of the previous week
seemed to promise, Las induced several of the fishermen to
withdraw their nets, and take to the white fishing. About
a dozen of the boats Lave already drawn off the herring
nets, imagining that the fishing is over for the season.—

PIRATICAL ATTACK.

We are indebted to Captain Rolston, of the liellespont,
which arrived at Liverpool cu Tuesday, after a remarkably
quick passage, from Smyrna, for the following account of
a desperate rencounter between the boats of-his Majesty',
frigates Cambrian and Seringapatam and a piratical vessel,
in the Gulf of V.la:—
I
transmit a statement of the sitack made by some Greek pirates
on the bests of Ids Majesty's frigates etenhrian and Seringapatani,
on the 30th of January, In the Gulf of Vol., according to a descrip-
tion give:a by an Officer of the Cambrian.
" llxcin a struck on a rock off the island of Sludtrope (in Negro.
pont), we anchored in the Gulf of Vola. The next day we saw •
Greek brig boarded by two Scamparuras, at a distance of two or
three auks. A boat was ordered away to sneak to the brig, anti sas
informed by her crew that these bdats had been pirates, who, as
soon as thry perceived our ships at anchor,. made elf. The
boat then returned, and orders were given to both ships to man
the boats, eight in number, and go in search of them. After
having rowed 16 or 16 miles op a gulf, the Seringapatam's cutter
descried one (the largest of thew), and gave chase: came up, and
were in the ea of laying in their oars, when the piraus fired into
the boat, and killed two men en the spot, and wramded one officer
and rewritten. She sben dropped a•stern, waiting, until the other
boats came up, They then boarded her, and having put all to the
sword except one man, she was taken, so desperate were they beton
they would surrender. The Cambrian's bort then attacked the
other host, anal eateihd her, with the loss of two mew killed and
six am. ,:ed, one among the latter of which is an MS:cr. Out
of se% ten, which was the force of the pirate*, only seven
were in,nie peasoner.:, they ra•her preferring to die than to aut.
render. Six of them were waned-eel, and the other, who had
jumped overboard during the scuffle, was taken out of the water,
having been swimming for ten minutes; and so desperate were these
fellows that this °::e even trapped I:is listals at the marines, al-
though surrounded by an armed force. it appears that this gang
had followed this trade for some time, and made the haunt of a
*man island neAr Negropont."
The Cambrian intended sailing on the 16th of February for
Malta, to heave down. and takes the prisoners with her. One of
the wounded seamen died at Smyrna, and two mote wete in a pre-
carious state.

ROMAN CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION BILL.

Mr. B. COOPER presented a petition Crum the Rural Dean and
Clog/ of Gloucester against the Roman Catholic Emancipation
Bill.

Mr. lIU3IE said, be bad received some information of the man.
ner In which this petition had originated, and tkis petition he
thought it his duty to lay before the House. The Meeting of the
Clergy at which this petition was agreed to. was called by no
official person. In fact, wove knew by whom it was called. The
place at which it was held was the Cathedral ; the precise time for
the Meeting was not fixed, and only seven Clergymen attended out
of thirty. Only two Clergymen of the Established Church signed
the petition at the Meeting, and it was afterwards sent round the
country, where the additional signatures ware produced. These
circumstances bad been stated to him (Mr. liume) by a person of
whose accuracy he had no reason to entertain any doubt ; be hoped
this was true, because the necessity of such resorts to get up a
petition proved incontestibly the good feeling that was b-rnining to
be entertained by the Established Clergy towards the Roman
Catholics.

Mr. B. COOPER explained.
Upon the question that the petition be printed,
Mr. /lUME said he conceived that the facts he had stated
ought to be sufficient to induce the Iltnise to re:ect the petition al-
together.•
Mr. Secretary PEEL thought the petition ought to be received.
It came before the House u the petition ut sixteen individuals, con-
nected with &most respectable ptofeuion, and he thought Honour-
able Members should not be so very minute in examining the
roamer in which it originates!. Considering the number of peti.
Lions presented to the House, and the manner in which they were
frequently signed, he thought it unnecessary to enter into the
manner in which each particular petition originated. (Hear, hear.)
The petition was then ordered to be printed.
lie. GROSSET presented a petition from the Inhabitants of the
Borough of Chippenham against the RJUILI t'atbe
Ordered to be printed.
CORN IVB.

Mr. SYKES prevented a petition from the Merchants. Hankerr,

to take the Corn Laws into consideration. The Honourable
Member stated that he fully concurred with the sentiments of the
petitioners.—Ordered to be printed.

fixes all the opprobium by insinuation, while lie keeps the
menaced exposure repeated day after day, and when the

to effect.

the claims of justice, thus publicly to notice this new sys-
