Friday afternoon, as the persons employed in the

en the new works carrying on in the Duck-yard, a
bass of unusual size pursued a number of whiting-
pollock into the bell, absolutely leaping over tl.c
board on which the workmen is the machine placed
their feet, and escaped under 'the bell again, not-
withstanding several ineffectual attempts made to
secure it. Two of the infrighted little fish were taken
and brought on shore. _

Thursday a person, in the dress of a butcher,

On Thursday a nice ing was held at Yarmouth to
take into consideration the propriety of applyeng to par-
lisourot for an act, to raise additiosisl n 00000 ey for the re-
Epair of she church. The chair 'was taken by S. Paget,
sq who read ass extract Irons tile accounts of the true,.
tees by which it appeared the parish was in deht asp-
wards of (00001. Mr. 11, 0. Palmer thought the putis'io
mind (mot to be Satisfied of the necessity for mos**
y, anti therefore to wed that the accounts should be
sulansitied to a committee. TM* was seconded lay James
Harry, Esq. Mr. John Shelly shard, that as one of ;be-
trustees, he was accountable for the acts alone,. too lie '
had opposed many of them, though fruitlessly. He
had twje-ted to the new spire awl. steeple, and to the
hells. Ile tito,ntin the money (we understand upward.
of 40501.) had in those instillers been most uselessly
expended, and supported the tendon ke aen • er,
winch was carried unassimonsly.—Mr. -Palmer thett
moved that the committee should consist of twenty-five..
with power for See to act. After inane °poem i ion on the
pate of the trustees, this was agreed to, awl a committee
appointed. Mr. Sayers mess moved. that the noires foe 'lt
tut, application to ',ornament sl Id he given. Mr.
Paltiser.observed. it was said that if the notices were not -
'Oen on the following Saturday, it would be too law
Mr the next sessitni: if so, why had net the meeting •
hers, called earlier? Apparently it was wished to be
kept private ; or why had so little notice been given of
it ? It was held too on the sewn's dap, when no less—
shoo sixty tradesmen were suluuloned nn .he jolty awl*
persons had beets fined fur not astehtling (mane purpose.
when their only reason for absence was, lit attend the--
present meeting. After a long coos ersation, Mr. Sayers
withdrew-his . Thanks were voted to the chair-
man, and theme:ling separated.
h-vi with pleasure we have to notice an instance o
honour and generosity in tire conduct of a\lr. James
%Weston, . ribbon emmisfacterer, of Coventry. That,
gentleman on Saturday last paid the full price to hill
Journeymen. who Were making articles in the engine
loons slot noticed in the primed list. Mr. Whettodhad
not prod that price I he found it was understood th.a.
all articles not named ass the eisaisie loom list should be
paid for as single-hand work, whet, he very honourably .
paid the Ind price for that work, and also the arrear*

example wall be followed by other masters who ha%c
not yet paid it.

Extract of a letter from a young man who left
I.losport in 1818, for the purpose of joining the

ludepekulent South American nrmy, in which ser-
vice he no holds the rank of Captain, dated Pam

peter, May 5, 1819:—" We are now in garrison
. -fit this place, but the Spaniards haring been here
.sinet before our arrival, thltroyed all the forts which
commanded the town and harbour Mann n month
since we were sent on an expedition, under Admiral
Brion to limitary', to cut out a Spanish frigate and
two brigs, but did norsuccted, owing to the strong
Lotteries on shore. Our sqinuiron consisted of two

Lurvettes, eight brigs, seven schooners, and other

smeller vef.-seli. from Comma we sailed to La
- -Cairn, where we liad n severe engagement. The
. Spanish th.et often appears olf this island, when the
ZlA:pen:lent squadron is undergoing repairs, hut
. Never, ventures out when our ships ere at sea. Our
Inv:tent effective finee here is two traps of Cavalry,
of one hundred each, the British Legion eight bun-
..dretl, and Colonel Usler's Rifle finer hen•
. tired. IVe have also a small park of artillery, coin-
, suanded by colonel Gilmour, an English artillery
, officer. 'l he Spaniards carry on a most destructive
. warfare, plundering and Wining every thing they

. meet with, and murdering men—, women, and chit
dren. When the Spaniards last visited this island,
..they landed seven thousand men, only two thousand
of whom escaped, the remainder of them having all
fallen by the sword. Active operittions have ceased
foe the present, the rainy season having set in, but

as soon as circumstances %% ill permit, Clamant and
• La Guirs will be again attacked, with the united
Aperations of the Army and Navy. The ration
etilowed to a soldier is one pound of beef. two.oun-
et., of bread, and half a pint of rum. . The troops
receive their pay weekly."
We soma time gave a dscription of a Velocipede,
with a cut, illustrative of it ; we subsequently
noticed.an improvement on. this machine, under the
• title of a Velocimanipedc,. and we predicted that
.great progress would- tae made in the further im.
provement of this.class a machines. Our predictio
leas been verified, fen Mr. Birch, of Great Qneen-
street has ineented .a machine to travel without
,Lorses, called the Trivector ; it is propelled by three
men sitting in .seats, tbrmed out of the body, their
leet resting,ort a bottom the some as any other car-
riage, etch hand working a lever, in the same
_manner as rowing a boat; it also carries luggage.
The machine is steered by the feet of the foremost
rein ;
.it weighs with the three men included, ex-
actly seven hundred weight. In regard to its per-
formance, we are assured that it left London and
• veached Brighton in less than seven hours, min-
. sive of stoppages, and that there might be no de-
eeption on the part of the men who worked it (all
the way) the owner went on to Ilyegate in his
gig the night before, and started with them from
thence, he could scarcely keep up. with it ; and
though his horse went very fast, he could not reach
.Drighton first ; even a stage.coiseit was endeavour
.ing to overtake it, and was left in the rear, the
men went once round the Stehle, refreshed them-
selves, and started u;„ntlii on their return to town.
A letter from Mr. John M'Lachlun, of Glasgow,
who, so much to his credit, disclosed the system of
ceottisit espionage, in, 1816, mentions that the fir
mer wretches have had impudence enough to re-tip-
pear in that neighbourhotul, and to begin anew their
. correspondence with the poor workmen. Let the
people take care! particularly in the country villa-
