whose rilging was on bilard 'the Captain. It was also necessary,
as the engines eould 'not play from the jetties to any advantage.
to put some carromales and• long I‘2•poinider 'field-pieces into
launches and surround her, then by firing into her between wind
and water, to sink her ; being nearly. consumed, she soon sunk, pre.
videntially without doing any other damage. The Queen Charlotte,
110, and several other men of war were near her, but dropped
down the harbour, out of reach of her line of fire. We are happy
to state no lives were lost, and only three of the San Josef's cabals
destrdyed. It was a fortnnate business that the weather was mild
and no wind up, and it is rather remarkable in the issue of events.
that the San Josef was the•ship that the late lamented Nelson board.

when Commander of the Captain."
A letter tnnn of ‘Vedii4day, says:—•` On Monday all the
rabble of 'Lit city M. ent nut to meet their t Ineepear, as they style
him, Hunt. About two o'clot khe was net at Totterdown-hill, and
escorted to our Exchange in baronche and six, eith a band of n risk.
and about half a dozen purple streamers and flags. From the old ap-
prop jute place, one of the brava pedestals, facing the Exchange, lie
harangued the mob for an hour in very inflammatory language. He
then prnceeded through the principal streets at the city, following the
same saute us Alembers do when chaired, dined with his friends„ arid.
to the surpri‘e and satisfaction of the city, the evening concluded
peaceably. Last night, however, about nine o'clock, as few of his
partizans passed over the iron railing .in Portland-square, where s
statue of nor good old King had been erected two years ago, and.
throwing :trope over the neck, pulled it to the grouted, and broke it
to pieces. The fall occasioned an alarming. noise, and drew the inha-
bitants instantly to the doors. Only one of the miscreants was se-
cured, amidst the confusion of the Sethe ; who was taken to Bride-
%cll."
Three young men, of genteel .appeacatere. entered the Methodist
Chapel, in Belmont-row, Birmingham.- 4in. Ttresday night, and there
infamously and wantonly defaced the Bible, tore down the chandeliers,
and curumitted every species of mischief in their power ; they took
away a bassoon, with which they had broken the windows. • Tire same
eight, the Jews' Synagogue, and tan other chapels in the town, were
served in a similar manner.
A few•weeks since, some undicines person forced down'the throat of
a horse belonging to ..t he Bairrive.Carrier to Bury; a quantity of pieces.
of glass, tin, lead, pins, nails, &c: which occasioned his death last

as a handsome reward era offered for the discovery ut the -solo:-
