thDRALTAR, Jan. I.—" A r.port has within a few
der q heen in circulation of the most diabolical outrages
H'ing been com:ait Led hi Algiers, and particularly,
that all Christians and Jews wets; oompelled to turn
Aloars; but this report, I am happy to find, is false.
By letters received from thence, ten days old, it seems
t'ant there had been it plan to depose the MI ; but he
hawing retired to the Aleassava with his faithful adhe-
rents, and removed here all the treasure, he has set his
cvponews at defiance ; and after some of theta were
killed, the head cf the party who intended to ty
new rey,
\V rejoice to learn that acconnts have 'men received
fr.om Newfoundland, which, left that colony within these
t!,:ce weeks, stating that the inhabitants, however se-
vt.rely they may have suffered front fire, had nc appre-
hension of being visited by famine in additioa to their
other misthrtunel. Provisions are said to have 'oecn
abundantly snpplied for the winter. Immediately on
the receipt or intelligence at Halifax, of the ravagen.and
nc•oiations produced ay the fires at St. John's, the Em.
of Dalhousie, with the most prompt humanity, dispatch-
el two sclr:oners :f considerable barthen Admitai!

The Fortunate Youth resides in the Rtie Pig-alle, at
Paris, under an assumed name. His father lately re-
ceived a letter from him, in which he requests that he
will take immediate possession of the Houghton estate,
and see that the interests of the ttmuntry nre properly
attended to, that the wants of the poor particatlarly shall
he supplied. There is very little doubt that his mitid is
not right, and that he suffers from mental deltnli:m.—
His uncle, an oppulent man, is the principal sufferer by
his conduct. From respect to his nephew, he proposed
to make a gayer appearance than usnai. In consequence
he ordered a new carriage and liveries, now no longer
wanted] but which have been recently sent to him by
' his tradesmen from town.

.At the Court of Aldermen, Tuesday, a resolution
was agreed ter, respecting beggars and vagrants infesting
ele streets, enjoining the parish officers to' cause them
to be apprehended and brought before the Lord Mayor
ar sitting Aldermen, in order to their being passed to
their parishes, or otherwise dealt with according to law.
It is intended not only to reduce the remaining se-
cond battalions and colonial regiments, but in addition
to them 10 regiments of the line, five of cavalry, in-
cluding the 24th and 25th regiments before ordered
home from India, two battalions of artillery, and one
of the engineers ; besides which there will be partial
reductions in every regiment ut home, bath of men and
officers. In the medical and ordnance departments;
also, there will be considerable reductions, as well as
in the different staffit and depots, so as to make a total
reduction of nearly 30,000 men. There will also be
numerous reductions in the navy, particularly in the
dock yards, and the civil departments connected with
that branch of service, so that the estimates of thearmy
and navy, whic:. last year exceeded fifteen millions and
a half, will not, we apprehend, for the current year
exceed ten. In addition to these, and the saving of
interest by reducing the .5 per Cents. to fours, it is
rumoured that the Chancellor of the Exchequer means
to call in aid of the public service all the unclaimed
lauds in the Courts of Chancery and Exchequer : and
the public will perhaps be surprised to hear that they
amount to woos millions.

It will be r ocolleeted, that shortly previoer; to the
death of her Royal Higlincss the l'riuceu; Chatlotts•,
n negOcialiun was commenced with the Duke of Marl-
borough, with a view of taking his mansion in Pall
Mall. The terms upon which tl e occupation was to
take 'dace, it is said, were settled, and the agreement
actually received the signature of the Duke. Since
the death of her Royal Highness it is understood that
Prince Leopold has abandoned his intention of ratify-
in the agreement, and the subject, we hear, is to un-
dergo a legal discussion.
Tole KING V. WALLER O.GRADV:•DErILTN, JAN.
A.—The Judges yesterday sat in the Court of Error
li,r the purpose of pronouncing judgment in this impor-
tant case, as to the right of the Chief Baron of the
Exchequer, to appe,iut a person to the office of Clerk of
the Picas, vacant by the death of the Earl of Buckinor-
hamshire, or whether the right was Vested in the
Crown. The Juigcs were ergaged in delivering their
opinions, when, We are sorry to state, :he Chief Justice
the king's-bench wai attacked with sudden, and,
we fear, severe indisposition, which caused an adjourn-
t. c.it, wiihout their coming to a final 'decision on tkc
ques . •
V.rar:aw a•s are i:Armel, that the Polish troops

tor:h to. be paid :'.Tani herself. It is conjectured
t. ut nu expez:se of about 40 wirll:ous u.l.':lains will thus

Mr. Ilashisson is now named as the probable suc-
cessor of the late Mr. Res:, as 'fr:•srnrcr us the Nary.
The concerts at Derby (luting the past, week. were
well attended: they were suppo:ted by the Duke of
Vevonshire. After the performances, tliss-Stephoos,
together with several other of the principal vocal per-
formers, went to Chatsworth-castle on a vi'it to the,
nuble Duke.

The new tragic play, taken from the poems of Lord
Byron, is from the pen of Mr Dimond. The hero of
the piece is to be personified by Mr. Kean. It is inter-
spersed with music.
NONE SET THE BRAVE DESERVE THE FAIR..—.-For
some time past M. Kingston and E. Peacock, -two coal-
porters, working at the wharf at the bottom of Wator-
lane, Fleet-street, have been paying their addresses to
a young widow, the wife of a brother workman, de-
ceased. She paid attention to both, declaring she did
not know which she liked best ; but she could have
but o►►e, according to the laws of matrimony ; but, if
they would tike a chance which should be the happy
man between them, she would be agreeable. They
accordingly agreed to fight, and a battle took place last
week, on the Coal Wharf; when after a struggle of 13
rounds, in which were some good knock-down blows,
victory was declared in favour of it!. Kingston, who
went off ia great .riumpli to se the young widow.
They arc to be asked tlu•ee tittles in church, and to be
mirried on Shrove Alund.►v.
