relief will be given unless the Packets are opened at this Office, or
if in the Country, in the presence of the Postmaster, or one of his
Clerks, when, if any Letters are found to be enclosed, they will be
Charged with full Postage.

" This is a neat, cheap. and in every respect a satisfactory pocket
edition of Bunyan's immortal and invaluable work. We regard
the features and the additions which characterize this last attempt
to render " The Pilgrim's Progress" more useful and popular than
ever, to be decided improvements. There is an elegant Life pre-
fixed of the Author by Mr. J. A. St. John, in which there is a
genial and generous spirit, an appreciation of Bunyan's history,
character and piety, that are exceedingly instructive and gratifying.
To increase the most effectual aids to practical usefulness, the texts
of Scripture are printed at the foot of each page, and a Key to
the principal matter, spiritual and otherwise, is prefixed."—

On Tuesday evening last, as the mail gig was re-
turning from Settle to Skipton, it was stopped by two men
when within about two miles from the latter place. The
driver immediately discharged the contents of a pistol at one
of them, who, he supposed fell down wounded, and the other
ran away. As soon as the driver arrived at Skipton he in-
formed the postmaster there of the circumstance, who imme-
diately despatched the constable to the place, but after making
diligent search, he returned without finding any wounded
person. A reward is offered for the apprehension and con-
viction of the offenders.—Leeds Intelligencer.
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last, a:.
Mr. John Story, schoolmaster, of Bowling, near Bradford,
was assisting a cooper to remove a watertub on his premises
for the purpose of being repaired, his foot slipped on the lee
and he fell on his face, the tub, which was half full of ice, fell
upon his head and literally crushed it to pieces, the edge oi
the tub penetrating the back of his neck to a considerable
depth. He died instantaneously. He has left a wife and five
children. —Leeds Intelligencer.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

( From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 27.—The Cornwallis, 74, Sir R.
Grant, sailed from Barbadoes on the 7th ult., with the head-
quarters of the 65th Regiment and left wing of the 76th Re-
giment for Grenada, where the latter will relieve the left
wing of the 65th, which Regiment will be taken to Halifax.
The Cornwallis will then rejoin the Admiral at Bermuda.
The Gannet sailed from Barbadoes, for Angostura, on
30th Nov.

The Malabar, 74, on being re-commissioned, is to be
fitted to take the Royals to Canada. The Hercules, 74,
when the season is more advanced, will go to Cork, to em-

bark troops for the same quarter.
The Wasp, 16, Commander the Hon. D. Pelham, was
towed out of harbour on Sunday last, by the Fearless steamer ;
she sailed for the Mediterranean, on Wednesday, and the
Fearless went on to Weymouth, where she will be employed
in the packet service.
The Sovereign transport will proceed to Cork on Tuesday,
to take two companies of the 11th Regt. to Bermuda.
The Dec steamer will proceed in charge of the riggers of
Woolwich to the north coast of Spain, where the crew and
officers of the Phcenix will be transferred to her, and the rig-
gers will bring home the Phcenix.
The Lynx brigantine, Lieut. Broadhead, arrived yesterday
from Sheerness, and was ordered to proceed immediately to
Plymouth, but from having so many officers and men sick,
and being short of complement, she was obliged to anchor on
Stoke's Bay, with only one officer and five men able to do
duty. Shortly after leaving Sheerness she was surrounded by
ice, and obliged to come to an anchor. The severity of the
weather during her passage of nearly a week has been the
principal cause of the sickness.
In consequence of the delay of the Ontario, outward-bound
New York packet, frozen up in the London Docks, Colonel
Loring, Colonel Sir James Hamilton, and Major Head left
this town to-day for Liverpool, to take the chance of an earlier
passage from that port to Canada.
Letters have reached here, stating tho loss of her Ma-
jesty's cutter Speedy, Lieut. Joseph Motley, on the coast of
Norfolk ; the crew were all saved, and the vessel was not
broken up.
The Arab transport, with the last division of the 10th Re-
giment arrived at Cork, on Monday last, front Corfu. They
are at present to take up their quarters at Fermoy garrison,
where the service companies arc stationed.
The French line-of-battlo ship Jena, Admiral Lallande,
and the Algesiras, Captain Gourbeyre, sailed from Gibraltar
and through the Gut, on the 9th instant. On the previous
day the Owen Glendower, cutter yacht, Major Hall, left for
Tangiers. The Maitland transport, Lieutenant Barber, agent,
arrived at Gibraltar on the 7th, with military stores, from
Woolwich.

The Vesta, which arrived at New York on the 20th Dec.,
from Rio, was chased on the sth Nov. in lat. 15 long. 35, by
a piratical looking brig about 150 tons, mounting 10 guns, full
of men, and showing Portuguese colours.
The Ajax, 74, was yesterday taken out of dock.
The Apollo frigate, fitting up as a troop ship, will be com-
petent to convey 600 troops and 80 women ; her complement
of men is only to be 72.
The Prince George is being dismantled ; her sheers are
taking down, and she is discharging her ballast ; on being
cleared she will be broken up.

permitted but few homeward-bound vessels putting into the
Motherbank. The only arrivals at that anchorage during the
past week arc the Hanoverian galliot Louisa, E. E. Valk,
master, from Odessa, in the Black Sea, put in on Sunday last.
She has a cargo of rye, potashes, wool, and staves, hound to
Amsterdam. She was nearly three weeks beating up Channel
from the Land's End ; the ports of Holland being choked
with ice caused her to put in here. She is under a strict
quarantine, and in all probability will remain so until she can
proceed to her place of destination. Yesterday arrived the
barque Hampshire, John Temperley, master, from Messina,
with a general cargo, bound to London ; she was placed under
quarantine, but has since been admitted to pratique.
Captain Graham, with First Lieutenants Parker and Craig,
of the Royal Ma,ines, are ordered to join Colonel Parke's
