A-letter from ztoeknoiiii thitrtl Jury 9, says—" The
stir of June was a dread.iil day fur Jotiktippitigs Lait„
and especially for Ilrva r So ken, belonging to the
vials') of Talent'. It is the custom there•to cut down
tiers, to let them I e on the ground to dry, put fire to
them, and bmn the-ashes for manure. Some negli-
:relict: had taken place in performing the operation, and
the lona•continuctl drought, acid a high wind, occasion-
ed the fire to spread, till at length all the forests were in
flames. Though the inhabitants of several disirieta JIA•
be milled , and exerted themselves with the most despv-
mi:: courage to stop the progress of the conflagration,
the several forests, and a great quantity of corn, mete
lama, and the churches and several places were threat-
ened with ilestrectiou. It is impossitale to picture the
misery and ihjary caused by this event. Two entire
farms, with the implements of husbandry, &c. were de-
stroyed. The value of the forests reduced to ashes is es-
timated at 903:00 dollauebatice, and that of nicneuble
effects at 4.54.1t1 dollars."

Extract of a Letterfzom Gibraltar, dated July ed
" The dispute* hem e• ti the British °ghee, and those of
the American squadron, have been amicably adjusted.—
Notwithstanding. however, all the precautions and rend
orders, as well on the part of General Don as the Aiite-
rican C Wore, a second meeting was arranges and
took place at the river Pei!move, a short distance front
Algesbas, beiween Captain Johnstone, of the 64th re.
ginunit, and Lieutenant Stockton, of the Erie. Capbrin
Girellesteme was the friend of Captain Johnstone, and
Mr. Bourne, purser of the Erie, the friend of Mr.
Stncktou. Some disagreemetit took place as to the 1110 LC
of firing, which produced an animated discussion among
the parties, but fortunately Captain Girdlessone succeed-
ed in maktsig thin batants sensible that they had on
a previo4lS occusion sun-warmly demonstrated their cour-
age, and done all that was necessary on the point of
honour ; consequently dere existed no necessity at that
moment for a sanguine y contest, and he therefore pro-
posed, that in place of continuing the discussion as to
the mode of. firing, they should discuss the causes of the
dispute, and elide:ea:ow to settle it in an amicable as
well as honourable manner. Mr. Bourne assented to
the proposal, and finally Captsist Girellestone convinced
his friend Captain Johnstone of the propriety of his
malting an apology, which being made, the parties
shock hands, and thus has terminated an affair which
has excited hers DO common anxiety, because frosts the
well-known characters of all the individuals concerned,,
a fatal result was generally anticipated ; and perhaps it
was entirely owing to the intervention of Captain Gir.
n Seismic that the affair was thus arranged. This 'notes
how much depends on the conduct of seconds on those
oecasons, because, had Captain Cirdlestone been izo-
veriled by the ordinary rides among duellists, he would
have considered it too late in attempt accommodation
after the parties had got to the ground of combat.
LEICEPTER.--FRAME-WONK l:xn insets.----(Frotre
the Leicester Journal.)-1 he presesa week has been
productive of a phenomenon, which a few months
ago could not have been believed as possible ever to
have occurred in this great mainifactstrilig district. Cir-
cumstances have someffines arisen where a difference
has existed for a time berweett the employer and em-
ployed ; but there was at all times sufficient work for
those who chose so labour, and a sufficient 'Moulin for
the industrious to " live by the sweat of their brow."
It is not all at the present moment. Our streets, during
the last few days, have presented the appalling spectacle
of thousands of frassie.work knateis (men and women)
out of rinploy, parading the town in peaceful solersinity,
