We have a Turkey mail this morning, with
Jetters from Constantinople to the 26th May,
and from Smyrna to the 20th. The latter state
that no confirmation of the piracies reported had
been received there, and that in consequence the
insurance companies bad taken off the additional
rate of insurance they had demanded on the
faith of the rumour, and were also returning the
extra premiums which they had conditionally
received.

We hare been furnished with a copy of the
general regulations and instructions relative to
Crown Lands at Swan River, received by the last
arrival from that quarter of the rising globe. They
are of no particular moment to our English

emigrate, copies will of course be awarded on

territory, it seems, is to be divided progressively
into counties, hundreds, townships, and sections,
each of which last is to contain one square mile
of 640 acres. Counties shall be open for loca-
tion as they shall have been surveyed and
mapped ; and the Surveyor. General will declare
from time to time the counties in which free
grants of land may be obtained by the public.
No free grants will be given beyond the limits
of counties declared to be open for location.
Grants will be made in complete sections of one
square mile. Persons requiring smaller quan-
tities will not have permission to select those
quantities, but will receive such only as the Go-
vernment shall award. Officers belonging to
the civil or military establishment of the settle-
ment will be admitted to claim and receive grants
of land on the same conditions and mode of pro-
ceeding as private settlers, provided the quan.
thy be reasonable, and their public services not
neglected for their private affairs.

Brussels Papers have been received ; they are

THE DENOUNCED.—Great curiosity prevails
regarding this new production by the Author of " The
O'Hara Tales." The work consists of two Tales, which
describe, in that impassioned and forcible manner which
is known to characterize the pen of the writer, the severity
of those laws which were enacted and enforced during the
reign of WILLIAM and MARY against the Catholics. The
contentions that were continually taking place between the
proscribed Papists and the emissaries of the Government
have afforded ample scope for the a-athor's powers, and the
present work abounds in scenes and incidents of the most
stirring nature. The work is dedicated to the Duke of
WELLINGTON.

FOREIGN EXCLUSIVES.—That development
of the arcana of privileged society, and exposure of the
most hidden proceedings of fashion's central coterie, which
was afforded to the curious in the piquant production
styled " The Exclusives," is to be succeeded, in a few days,
we hear, by a similar emposition with regard to the elite
of foreign society in our metropolis, certain members of
which have rendered themselves not less amenable to spe-
culation-and "critical notice" than our own most parti-
cular Exclusives.

A correspondent informs us that, a few days
ago, a terrier puppy was discovered milking the udders of
a cow belonging to Mr. SYMMONS, landlord of the Royal
Oak in this town. The little milk-filcher had latterly in •
creased much in bulk to the surprise of its owner, who
was ignorant of the source from which its wants had been
supplied.—Maidstone Gazette.

The wife of a labourer named GRIFFIN,
living at Baltard, in the West of the county Clare, has
been delivered of three sons!—Clare Sentinel.

On Saturday last, at Wrotham, a man inhu-
manly bit off a considerable part of his mother's nose, and
attempted to tear out her tongue. He was taken into
custody, and yesterday committed to the county prison.—

A few weeks ago, a gentleman, in passing
through a small hamlet in the vicinity of Edinburgh,
knocked at the door of one of its humble tenements,
for the purpose of inquiring the road to - Castle,
which he knew to be somewhere in the neighbourhood.
" There's naebody in," cried a voice from the interior, in
a shrill, childish, treble key. The gentleman, tickled with
the answer, and being withal somewhat of a humourist,
knocked again, in the hope of extracting further amuse-
ment, if not information. " I tell ye there's naeborly in
but me, an' am daft," reiterated the oracle within, " but
gin ye want the road to the Castle, gang into the plantin'
owerby there, and cut a young oak saplin, and JOCK MAC-
GREGOR the grieve 'ill soon let you see the road to the
castle- a. 110 f1;11 +l* vv.... .1 • •,.• • • .•
