• We have received Charlestown papers to the 19th of June.
We extract the following :—•
From St. Augustine, by the schooner /MTh—Extract of a
letter, dated 11 di inst.:—" By an express from Fort Drane,
we find that the Indians had burned several sugar works on
the Bth inst. 150 to 200 Indians attacked Fort Macanopy,
and were hotly received by 70 or 80 men, who sallied out and
repelled the savages."
Postscript to a letter of the 12th inst.:_" Another express
arrived last night from Fort Drane, stating that the dragoons
had abandoned the Fort, the Indians having burnt the sugar
works." •

( From a Charleston Paper of June 18.)

The following is a copy of an express received
" Hcad-quarters, Fort Irwin, Juno 10.
" To General Wilcox.—Sir, Information of the most posi
tive character has been received from Fort Jones., that a large
party of Indians crossed the river yeitet day afternoon—say
about 2,ooo—and are now on their march to Florida. They
will doubtless make their way down on the east side of Flint
River, or cross that stream above the border of Batter County,
and go through Loa, Irwin, Lowndes, add Ware, to the
Swamps of Florida. Many Georgians have been killed from
Stewart's County—among them David Dick."

Our arrivals this morning are the French and Hamburr
mails of yesterday; with ship-letters from Grenada, Barba

We have received the following letter from Passa,ses, St.
Sebastian, dated 7th July, by the Royal Tar :
" Several officers have leave of absence, which makes me
think we shall remain on the defensive for the present, and the
interesting point of operation seems to be the West, towards
the Asturias, which I think :is excellent generalship on the
part of the Carlists, as they can leave sufficient men to protect
their lines here, and by this movement call °flour attention. They
beat our army of reserve under General Tello ; but General
Espartero is following them towards the Asturias, and if they
be not reinforced they will be cut off. The Carlists are much
more formidable than you suppose in England; and it is not
one or a dozen victories that will put them down. The moral
effect of the British interference is not so great as might be
expected ; and our numbers are too few to do effective good.
We are doing duty with the Royal Marines, now on the
heights."

LORD AB I NGER.—We understand that Lord
Abinger is a convert to the necessity of reforming the Court
of Chancery, and that his Lordship has presented to the
House of Lords a Bill, of which the object is to case the
Chief Baron of his equity jurisdiction.
In the American papers last received, a very gene-
ral anticipation of diminished wheat crops throughout the
Union prevailed. This applies to the southern as well as to
the northern States. One of the New York Journals says—...
" The reports from all parts of Maryland, with regard to the
grain crops, are discouraging. Letters from Washington
county, Maryland, the best district for wheat in the State,
represent the crop as seriously injured. In Lancaster county,
Pennsylvania, the crop is not expected to be equal to one..
fourth of an average crop ; se also in the adjoining counties of
Pennsylvania. The wheat crops in the state of Delaware
are represented to be equally unpromising.:' The Vir-
ginia Free Press says_" It is painful to look at the blighted
wheat fields of this region. The prospect is absolutely ap-
paling. During the last three weeks vegetation has had the
appearance of actually receding, and the ravages of the fly
have been so fatal, that in many places the naked earth is
presented shorn of the rich verdure which for a while covered
its bosom. The late rains have refreshed and invigorated
other crops, but the wheat is beyond redemption."
Parsons, who was the original performer of Allscrip
in the Heiress, when requested to act more chastely, said,
" Chastity be —1 I'm a libidinous actor."
The village of Stavely, near Chesterfield, with the
last few weeks, has been the scene of the most wanton and
shameful outrages committed by a gang of diabolical miscre-
ants in the human form upon the property of several respecta-
ble individuals in that district. A valuable horse, the property
of Mr. Hanbury, was stabbed to that degree as to cause its
death ; the machinery of a pit, including a valuable rope, was
consumed by fire; a large quantity of hay that was secured in
an outbuilding, was ignited, but happily it was discovered in
time, which prevented its entire destruction. Four sheep,
the proverty of G. Barrow, Esq., of Ringwood Hall, were
found in a field with their throats cut, along with other serious
offences. It has been necessary to call in the interference of
active police officers from Derby, by whose exertions three men
have been secured in prison at Chesterfield, to abide the result
of an examination before the Magistrates. We sincerely wish
that the authors of so gross a violation of the law may meet
with their reward.—Doncaster Gazette of Friday.
BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK.—Yesterday evening
a meeting of the electors of Southwark took place at the
Queen's Head Inn, in consequence of the resignation of Mr.
D. W. Harvey. Mr. Samuel Palmer having been called to
the chair, a resolution was made and seconded, that Mr. Ben-
jamin Wood was a fit and proper person for their representa-
tive in Parliament. Mr. John Curling awn rose, and in a
speech of some length, which was often interrupted by the
meeting, complained that such a question should be enter_
tained, as there was yet no vacancy in the representation.
He moved as an amendment, " That this meeting do sign a
requisition requesting the high bailiff do convene a meeting of
the electors, at the Town-hall, at the earliest convenient
period;" when Mr. llarvey would have an opportunity of
explaining his Parliamentary conduct. The amendment, after
a scene of some confusion, was put to the vote and carried
by a large majority. The meeting then broke up.
LIMERICK, JULY .5.—A dreadful murder was
perpetrated near Abbeyfeale, iu this county, on Wednesday.
It appears that a fair was held there that day, and that Mr.
John Collins was returning from it to his father's house, which
is about a mile and a half from the town, when he was attacked
by a number of the Leahy faction, who have so long disturbed
that neighbourhood, and, without any provocation whatever,
they beat him with stones so unmercifully, that lie died on Fri-
day evening. They could have had no enmity towards Mr.
Collins, as he had never given any encouragement nor offence
to either of the factions ; but it is supposed that they were
drunk, and did not know him. So that, in fact, any one going
that way, might have shared the same fate, if those ill-guided
men had chanced to come across him. At the Coroner's In.
quest there were two witnesses examined, who were with Mr.
Collins at the time. They proved that near the school-house,
on the old road, the party came up and knocked him down,
and beat him with stones on the head. They recognised the
parties returned as guilty in the verdict among the ringleaders
in the shocking affray. After a deliberate investigation, the
Jury, without hesitation, found a verdict of Wilful Murder
against John Leahy, sen., of Cragg, John earthy, of Abbey-
feale, and against Daniel Leahy, of Ballymernane. A brother
of Leahy's, the principal in this murder, had been evading the
police for the last two years, charged with rape and murder,
and recently died from the effects of sleeping on the mountains
at night.
POLAND.—The Frankfort Papers give the fol-
lowing curious particulars of the strange extent to which
tyranny is compelled to push its minute inquisitions I,—" The
Government very lately discovered at Warsaw that some of
the emigrated revolutionists, although the ordinary channels of
communication with the kingdom had been cut off, did not
relax in their endeavours to excite the people's minds to dis-
content,and to cherish a hatred of the Russian Government.
But as they had no longer any hopes of attaining this end by
the clandestine importation of letters, pamphlets, lithographs,
&c., the importation and distribution of which were vigilantly
watched, they conceived the idea of attempting a kind of sym-
bolical correspondence. In fact, several dealers in works of
art and in cutlery, in Warsaw, are said to have received, nearly
at the same time, large consignments of works in bronze and
alabaster, from Paris, which, as they are of elegant workman..
ship, and tempt purchasers by their cheapness, have wet with
a great sale, and are suitable for table and chimney ornaments,
&c. The police, however, as wo hear, discovered the aeoret,
on which various seizures were made, and the Council of Ad-
ministration was obliged to issue an 'ordinance by which all
medals, casts, &c., made in the country or imported, are sub-
ject to the censorship. These ordinances have been already
published.

The Nouvelliste Vaudois gives the following from
Berne, of the 27th ult. :—" Three days ago an English gen-
tleman, his wife and two daughters, a femme de chambre and
two men servants, arrived at an hotel in this town, with all
the eclat of wealthy travellers; and the host, with 411 Lie
train, were upon the alert to receive there, 4PticApating a li-
beral harvest. Alas I the spend ;no changed; for they were
shortly follnwod by ancchange.broker from France, who
found means for transferring the head of the party from the
hotel to a prison. It appears that the English Squire had
been speculating at Paris in the Funds, and became ruined by
his losses. He had deposited in the hands of a banker certi-
ficates of Neapolitan Stock to a considerable amount to be
held 49 a guarantee for the stook-broker. Under some false
pretences, he contrived to get these securities out of the hands
of the banker, and posted off with them to Naples, where he
converted them into money, and then came on to Berne,
The honourable Englishman. on finding himself incareerzied,
applied for protection to the British iliniqq, Morier,
who soon obtained his release onthF
,ws,,‘.,rid that bargains of
the nature of that in which ho had been engaged were illooaA
in France, and therefore 'no' action nor any other
at law could be founded 'eta them,"
