UPSET OF THE TALLY HO, GREENWICH COACH.

MR. EDITOR,—As you have already noticed
in your Paper this melancholy accident, I dare hope you may
not refuse to give insertion to this communication ; the facts
are collected from the best authority. In some of the London
Journals one or two mistatements have made their appearance,
and have heen copied into the columns of the Provincial Press.
I beg to call your and your readers' attention to two reports,
and to my contradiction of them. Ist, It has been said that
Major MACLEOD was seated on the box, and upon seeing the
coachman unable to hold his horses in, snatched at the reins,
but only pulled two ; hence the coach was upset. Major
MAct.toro was not on the box, and therefore could not snatch
the reins. 2J, It has been said that Major MACLEOD excited
the coachman to race with another coach : the coachman him-
self declares that Major I4LotcLEon remained quite quiet—
neither moved nor spoke : moieover, it has not yet been proved
that the coach was racing.

That these false reports, which tend more or less to throw
the blame of the accident on Major MACLEOD, should be con-
tradicted as soon as possible, is self-evident. B. C.

CITY, MONDAY EVENING.

Mails were this morning received at the Post
Office from Portugal, France, and the North of Europe. The
private letters by the former contain advices from the Brazils
of considerable political importance. They are dated at Lisbon,
September 28, and state that letters from Pernambuco of the 3d
of August, confirm the sailing of an expedition from Rio
on the 14th of July .with 260, soldiers, 6 pieces of artillery,
5,000 muskets, 2,000 spears, &c., that news of this event
were received at Bahia on the 20th of July, and that on the •
22d seven armed vessels sailed from Bahia to meet them.—.
From Rio, very late intelligence had been received. On the '
28th of July a vessel had arrived there from Monte Video,
with a Proclamation from the Military Council, addressed to
the troops, professing to adhere to the Cortes of Portugal ; and
on the titll of August the Prince had issued a strong Mani-
festo, declaring that all the Portuguese.soldiers within the do-
minions of the Brazils should be treated as enemies to the pub-
lic tranquillity. At present the mother state appears deter-
mined to retain the American colonies if possible, and it is not
easy to divine any other cause for this resolution than national
pride, for the Brazils, as an independent empire, will be of far
greater importance to Europe generally, than any benefit which
Portugal could draw from it as a colony, and the attempt to re-
tain a superiority over it will prove unavailing, for the success
of their neighbours has taught its inhabitants the value of civil
liberty, and that they are better judges of their own concerns
than the Cortes at Lisbon can possibly be. His Majesty's ship
the Creole remained at Rio, and the Blossom, sailed on the
15th July, to protect British rights at Bahia during a civil war.
From St. Petersburgh, the commercial letters are dated on
the 17th September, on which day the exchange on London was
at 10d. 1-32 ; 3,000 casks of tallow had been purchased at 110
rubles, for British account, 2,000 casks by the celebrated spe-
culators, and the remainder for the account of individuals.—
Here, the gentlemen who speculate on advanced prices purchase
freely at 40s. to 46.. 6d., and being powerful in cash they pay
the blunt down ; but the dealers are not inclined to lay up any.
stock at such high prices. Hemp is exceedingly dull sale, at
from 371. to 371. 10s. per ton.
In Liverpool last week there were no extensive transactions
done in any article. .The British Plantation Sugar market was
very barely supplied, not more than 370 casks of Antigua and
Jamaica having been offered, and which were sold at an ad-
vance of Is. a 2s. per cwt. The stock on the Ist October re-
maining in Liverpool, was 9,600 casks less than at the same
period last season, and therefore little doubt can be entertained
of this year's importation proving deficient. In the Coffee-
market there was not any alteration ; 350 bags of Pimento,
offered at public sale, was bought in at 9d., the highest
bidding being only 80. per lb. For Cotton there was a fair
demand, and the value has been well supported. The sales
amounted to 7,636 bags, and the importation was 6,087 hags
only. Sea Island, very middling to .middling Hid. to Md.,
fair and good 121 d. to 15d., and fine 17d. to 25., and every other
.description brought proportionate prices.
During the Quarter ending the 28th September, there were
imported into London of English Wheat, 116,877 quarters, of
Barley, 18,125 quarters, and of Oats, 143,465 quarters, with
921,551 Sacks of Flour. From Ireland during the same period
there were received 340 quarters of Wheat, and 16,479 quarters
of Oats. Last week the arrivals in Mark-lane, amounted to
9,271 quarters of Wheat, 4,976 quarters of Barley, 9,900 quar-
ters of Oats, and 10,430 Sacks of Flour. This day Wheat con-
tinues very dull sale. A few selected samples were taken off at
last Monday's prices, but inferior new samples, and those of
the growth of 1821, are almost unsaleable, at a decline of la.
to 2s. per quarter. There is very little really fine Malting Bar-
ley at Market, and the needy Maltsters take this description
away at fully as high prices, but inferior samples are very dull
sale, and stained of last year's growth is not worth more than
20s. a quarter. Oats last Wednesday advanced ls. a quarter,
but they do not maintain this improvement this day, and they
scarcely reached the prices of this day week.
The English funds are visibly improving this day, and as
the monied interest do not look for any immediate change oc-
curring in Europe from the wise deliberations of the Holy Al-
liance, and the great Ministers of State attending them, a con-
siderable advance is expected soon to take place in every des-
cription of public securities, for money will in a few days be
very abundant, and neither agriculture nor commerce offer any
profitable employment for it. The Consols for the settlement
on the 15th current opened at 84 and closed at 84 The No-
vember account is 84 The foreign market also on the Royal
Exchange continues to attract much of the interest and atten-
tion of capitalists. An express received from Paris quotes the
French Rentes on Saturday in great demand at 93, and the
Neapolitan Bonds at 776. Here this day, the Colombian and
Chilian have undergone great fluctuations, and the former is 3
to 4, and the latter 2to 3 per cent. dearer. The New RuSsian
and Prussian Loans are inquired after, and the Neapolitan
Script maintains its premium of about 4 per cent. profit to its
first possessors.

NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT, OCT. s.—The annual Fare
at Carisbrooke was held on Tuesday,• where a great variety
of sports were exhibited; and for the purpose of heightening
the hilarity of the day, Thos. Gleed. Esq. of Priory, liberally
ordered a sheep to be slaughtered and dressed for the fair folks,
which was accordingly done, and a considerable number of in-
dividuals sat dow,n, at the Red Lion Inn, and partook thereof.
After the cloth was taken away, the health of their worthy be-
nefactor was proposed, and drunk in a bumper, with un-
bounded applause.
