Mecklenburg Consulate, 121, Fenchurch.street, July G.
SIR-I think it right to lay before you for the intbrmation of
the subscribers the following communication, received from a
very respectable quarter, dated Rostock, 27th June :
" A very scandalous transaction has just been discovered
here. A merchant of Wismar, of the name of J. E. Engel,
caused to be chartered here, through Mr. M. Bendfelt, the ship
Dorothea Regina, to load wool for London ; and Capt. Jur-
gens,
of this place, was appointed to the command of her.—
Eighty bales of wool accordingly arrived, and were shipped ;
but the cargo not being completed therewith, other respectable
Rostock houses were induced to ship their goods by her. The
bills of lading for this wool were signed on the 14th inst. ; and
it is said that Engel has drawn NU on account thereof. But,
on stowing away the wool in the vessel, one of the bales bursted,
and was found to contain nothing but the offal. of wool, hay,
straw, dung, stones, and other filth. Mr. Bendfelt imme-
diately on this discovery issued a circular, requesting every
merchant to advise his friends in Hamburgla, London, &c., of
the fraud, in order to avoid further mischief. Engel has been
arrested here ; and it is reported he has confessed that the su-
percargo, who was to go in the vessel, and whose name is Ito-
loll, was to have bored and sunk her. This scheme is, how-
ever, now completely frustrated, and the Underwriters have
escaped a heavy loss. Captain Jurgens and his mate made the
discovery. Roloff is likewise in custody ; and it remains to be
seen what their fate will be.
(Signed) " CHRISTOPHER KREIFE,
" Consul and Charge d'Affaires in the
Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg.
" To J. Bennett, Esq., Lloyd's."

We think we shall fulfil the wishes of our sub-
scribers in hastening to offer to them, in a supplementary sheet,
a detailed account of the sojourn of the Duke Of Northumber-
land within our walls—an event so fruitful in hopes for our
town, and in which Boulogne has rendered itself the organ of
France in receiving an illustrious guest. On Thursday, at five
o'clock in the afternoon, his Excellency the Duke of Northum7
berland, Envoy Extraordinary from his Britannic Majestys
alighted at the Bath Hotel,
_which had been prepared for his
reception. When informed of his arrival, the authorities has-
tened to pay their respects to , him. The King's Lieutenant
offered the Ambassador a guard of honour, which was declined.
The fiahwomen, in their best dress (lair giand costume), pre-
sented to the Duchess a basket of flowers, which she received with
a remarkable condescension. During the dinner of the Duke,
the band of the National Guard, which was placed upon
the terrace of the hotel, executed some chosen pieces of music.
After dinner, the Duke, the Duchess, and suite, went to
the play, where two boxes had been prepared for them.
The theatre was filled with a crowd of spectators, whom
the presence of the illustrious travellers had attracted, and
who received them with a shout of applause. The orchestra
then executed. the cherished airs of the two nationse—" Vive
Henry 1V.," and " God save the King," during which the
Duke and his suite, and all the audience, were standing. The
actors gave " A Moment of Imprudence," and " The Legacy."
-His Excellency appeared to take much interest in the perform-
ance, and he, was seen several times to give proofs of his
satisfaction.
On returning: to 'the hotel, the Duke found the Court-yard
illuminated with coloured lamps, which enabled

guish the statidafai of Frinee and England Waving together_e
On the following morning, at ll o'clock, the port was covered
with a crowd of natives and foreigners, who hastened to enjoy
the presence of the Duke, for whom his packet was wait-
ing. It was hoped that before his embarkation his Ex-
cellency would visit the ~new establishment of Sea Baths,
Where the great'part of the subscribera Were assembled. This
hope was not disappointed. The Mayor and his first officer,
accompanied by M. Versia, the proprietor of the baths, received
his Excellency. 'During half an hour which the visit occupied,
the Duke and Duches's shewed that affability which agrees so
well with the elevation of rank. The• Duke praised the good
taste of the architecture of the edifice, and the decorations of
the saloons ; he appeared particularly struck with the magnifi-
cent coup d'ceil which presented itself from the platform, in the
appearance of the sea, terminated at the horizon by the coast of
Eng land, and at the moment animated by the motion of several
fish ing-brats entering and leaving the port. One observation
which did not escape the .Noblemen of the suite, and which
was several times repeated, was, that Boulogne, by its happy
position, offers a prompt and easy communication between the
two countries. The Dake, before he quitted the establish-
ment, being informed that the party which met there con
silted of subscribers, who held an honourable rank in society,
in .a way of which every one will appreciate the delicacy, asked
for the list of subscribers, and entered the names of Iliensell
and family—a circumstance which leads us to hope that his
Excellency will fulfil the promise which he was pleased toioake
of again visiting our town..
His Excellency having embarked, as soon as the packet had
passed the jetties, two guns, which were placed on the shore,
were fired 21 times. The corvette, which was appointed to
escort him, advanced, and returned the salute. - It. would be
difficult to give to those who were not.presenteatt exact idea of
the beauty of the 'picture which was presented. b*. the port and
its environs. The crowd, which covered the jetties, the shore,
the front and platform of the baths, the numerous vessels which
skimmed the sea, a few-clouds -which were repeated over its

in North Wales, says, that-" in church the hear-

smite their breasts at the name of Judas."
ANECDOTE OF CARDINAL YORK AND LORD
NE Ls° N.—When Napoleon Buonaparte enteredlßome with his
army, all who were not favourable to the conqueror fled from
the city ; and, as nearly all Italy was under his controul, there
was scarcely any resting-place for the fugitives. Cardinal
York, brother to the Chevalier de Saint George, commonly
called " the Pretender," was particularly obnoxious to Buo-
naparte, from having reflected severely upon his cruelty, in
a charge he made to his clergy as Bishop of Asia. He re-
moved to Venice, where the French troops followed him,
and he escaped in the disguise of a mendicant friar. He
begged his way to a village near Cape Otranto, where he lay
secreted for several weeks, subsisting on the charity of the Cure
of that place. The Agamemnon, 74, was then cruising near
the coast, under the orders of Capt. Nelson, and he soon learnt
the deplorable situation of the unfortunate Cardinal. Nelson
Instantly, determined to assist the last of the Stuarts. He
' went himself on shore, found the Illustrious unfortunate,
and invited him on board' his ship. The Cardinal hesitated
not to throw himself on his generositT. He was accommo-
dated with a part of the Captain's caoin, and proper appa-
rel, suitable to his dignity, was furnished him. He remained
on board seven weeks, during which period the ship was
twice engaged in action. The Cardinal walked the deck with
Capt. Nelson, perfectly undismayed, amidst a ecene of carnage
to which he had hitherto been a total stranger. As soon as con.
venient, Capt. Nelson landed 'him in the Austrian territories,
forcing upon him 1001. to defray his expences to Vienna. The old
r man sheertears when he left his benefactor, and was regretted by
all on board, to whom he was endeared for his mild and unassum-
ing manners. Nelson frequently spoke of him with admiration,
and said, that man's example would almost make me a convert
to the Catholic faith." The Cardinal had a handsome pension
assigned him by the Emperor, and six months after his escape
to the Agamemnon, he was on board of her again in the har-
bour of Genoa. Fortune then smiled upon him, and his
delight at seeing his deliverer was sincere. In the ful-
ness of his gratitude, he embraced all the officers, and ran
about the ship, shaking hands with the crew. He re.
paid the pecuniary obligation to Nelson, and would have
trebled the sum, which Nelson refused. He sent on board
fruits, bread, wine, and meat, sufficient to keep the sailors
feasting for several days, and kept open house on shore for
all the officers. When, taking final leave, he presented
Nelson with a sword and a cane, which the " Pretender"
' had used all his life ; they were plainly mounted in silver, and
highly valued by Nelson. It is difficult to tell which to admire
most, the generosity of Nelson, or the gratitude of the Cardinal ;
both did honour to their distinct professions, and this anecdote
is equally creditable to the memory of two great men.

THE DISPUTE BETWEEN THE AIAsTER. PAPER-
'WAXERS AND THEIR JOURNEEAIEN.—In the report of the
debate in the House of Commons on Monday evening the 27th
ult., when Mr. Wallace moved the Order of the Day for the
House resolving itself into a Committee on the Combination of
NVorkmen Bill, Mr. Hume is stated to have said, that the
master paper-makers had refused to allow their men an advance
of wages, notwithstanding the increased price of provisions.
Now we know from unquestionably authority that this statement
is directly contrary to the fact, the masters having, immediately
on the first application made by the men, consented to an ad-
vance ; and as soon as the sentiments of the trade could be ascer-
tained, their demand was readily admitted, to its full extent, for
the principal workmen, and to two-thirdsof such a demand for the
subordinate hands, which proportion was decidecton by the mas-
ters after considerable deliberation ; and it is but justice to state,
that the workmen in general were content with this arrangement,
and would have continued their work but from the influence of
their superintending committee:;., which are generally under. the
direction ,of the worst and most violent characters: Think.,
ing as we do that it is but reasonable, on any question of dis-
pute, and particularly as to wages, that the master has a right
mind

to consider of the expediency of granting all the men choose to

we merely insert this paragraph, without the slightest grounds

has been currently exemplified in the last Eight

minor note. In the very last Drawing, in the
very last Month, he sold a Thirty Thousand and
a Ten Thousand, with Seven other Capitals.—
Bise, like a good speculator, finding he is now
in high favour with Fortune, has become Con-

Prizes and Presents, that he seems determined
