POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

ROBBERY OF THE MINERVA PRINTING OFFICE.
M s rip N-HousE.—Yesterday John Fordham Laurence,
an apprentice of Mr. Darling, of the Minerva Press Office, was
brought before Alderman Atkins, charged with having commit-
ted a burglary and robbery on the premises in Leadenhall-street.
Mr. Darling stated, that he had been a consirlerable loser of
property fbr a length of time, and had but too much reason to
suspect that the prisoner was upon most, if not upon all, occa-
sions the thief. There had been stolen about 7 cwt. of one fount
of type ; and,. in fact, -a loss•to the amount of between six and
seven hundred pounds had been sustained by the house. He did
not, however, mean to pursue any investigation upon that loss,
as the prisoner had on Saturday committed himself so effectually
as to render a repetition of charges unnecessary ; and all Mr.
Darling's object was, to prevent the boy from becoming a more
desperate victim of the bad company into which he had falitth.
Mr. Darling addedithat he had been compelled to bring the
prisoner before the Chamberlain but a short time ago for bad
conduct, and that it was thought proper by that officer to sen-
tence him to confinement in the House of Correction. But the
correction had no effect. The profligate bmL had got amongst
a set of depraved characters in Angel-alley, 'and would, if not
resohitely checked, be found capable of committing the worst ex-
cesses. On Saturday nightlast the prisoner lingered on, the pre-
mises behind all the rest who had been at work, and when they
were, gone he broke open the bed-room door of two fellow-
apprentices, and stole their clothes, upon which he soon raised
money at the pawn43roker's. But his detection soon took place.
—The fellow-apprentices of the prisoner, who was an out-door
apprentice, deposed, that they had kept clothes in their bed-
room, in a drawer and a. trunk, arid that on Saturday night a
coat and trowers, belonging to one, and a coat belonging to the
other, were missed. They observed, too, that the door of their
bed-room had been broken open. They afterwards saw their
clothes in the hands of two pawnbrokers. The Officer who
took the prisoner into custody, stated that lie confessed the rob-
bery, and told where he had pawned the coats and trowsers.
The prisoner also chewed where he had hidden , the duplicates
and part of the money he had raised. Two pawnbrokers iden-
tified the prisoner as the person who had pledged the clothes.
Nobody_ appeared to say a word for the prisoner. He begged
to be allowl to say something on. the subject, and Alderman
Atkins told iim he was quite at liberty to do so, but advised
him to be very cautious in making any atlinission against him-
self.—The prisoner then said that he met a young man at
BRook.green fair, who, after some acquaintance with him, pro-
posed to him to commit a robbery upon his master's premises,
for which undertaking all the necessary implements were in
readiness.—Here Alderman Atkins interrupted the prisoner,
by a refusal to listen to a statement which was likely to aggra--
vate the case.—The prisoner was fully committed for trial.

THE KING'S SPEECH.

'His MAJESTY. then, in an audible voice, delivered the
lowing Speech from the Throne:—

" MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

" I'cannot release you from your attendance in Parliament,
without assuring you how sensible I am of the attention
you have paid to the many important objects which have been
brought before you in the course of this long and laborious
Session.

" I continue to receive from Foreign Powers the strongest
assurances of their friendly disposition towards this Country ;
and I have the satisfaction of believing that the differences
which had unfortunately arisen between the Court of St. Pe-
tersburgh and the Ottoman Porte are in such a train of adjust-
ment,as to afford a fair prospect that the peace of Europe will
not be disturbed.

" GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS,
" I thank you for the Supplies which you have granted me
for the service of the present Year, and for the wisdom you
have manifested, in availing yourselves of the first opportunity
to reduee the interest of a pan of, the National Debt, without
the least infringement of Parliamentary faith.
" It is most gratifying to me that you should have been
enabled, in consequence of this and of other measures, to relieve
my people from some of their burthens.
My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
" The distress which has for some months past pervaded a
considerable portion of Ireland, arising principally from the
failure of that crop-on. which the great body of the population
depends for their subsistence, has deeply affected me.
" The measures which you have adopted for the relief of the
sufferers.meet with my warmest approbation; and seconded as
they have been by the spontaneous and generous efforts of my
people, they have most materially contributed to alleviate the
pressure of this severe calamity.
"nI have the satisfaction of knowing that these exertions
have been justly appreciated in Ireland; and I entertain a
sincere belief, that the benevolence and sympathy so conspi-
cuously manifested upon the present occasion, will essentr.lly
promote the object which I have ever had at heart, that of
cementing the connection which subsists- between every part
of the Empire, and of uniting in brotherly love and affection
all classes and descriptions of my subjects."
Then the LORD CHANCELLOR, by his MAJESTY'S Com-
mand, said :
" MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
• " It is his Majesty's royal will and pleasure, that this Par-
liament be prorogued to Tuesday the Eighth' day of October
next, to be then here holden ; and this Parliament is accord-
ingly prorogued to Tuesday the Eighth day of October next."
After which his MAJESTY retired, with the same ceremo-
nies which had attended his entry, the Duke of WELLINGTON
carrying the Sword of State.

IMPORTANT TITHE CAUSE.

At the Essex Sessions, on Thursday night, came on a Tithe
Cause, May v. the Pariah Qgcers of West Mersca.—This
most important appeal occupied the Court from 12 o'clock till 7.
It involved the question, which has excited so much interest
since a decision, which lately took place in Norfolk, namely,
whether the rent is to be taken as a criterion of the occupier's

" ability," when it is proved that the occupation of his I;nd is
productive of ;no profit— and, whether the actual profit de-
rived from the tithes is not to be taken as the criterion of
the tithe owner's " ability," and consequently, whether, in
a parish in which the occupiers of the land derived from it
no ." abili:y" to support the poor, the statute of Elizabeth
does not throw the burthen upon the tithe-owner exclu-
sively. It was proved that Mr. May was the lay-impro-
priator of the parish ; a new rate had been made, in which
the great tithes (they being now in part taken in kind)
were assessed at 4s. per acre, and .the lands at 10s. The
appellant, by his notice of appeal, objected to this assess-
ment, and urged that there was no established proportion
upon which an assessment could be made. The object the
respondents aimed at was to chew that the occupiers of land
were not sustaining an actual loss ; on the other hand the
appelant argued that the value was not to be estimated ac-
cording to the productive return of the particular year
.for which the rate was made, but according to the average
thereof, to be collected from the rent. The Court, after con-
siderable deliberation, allowed the appeal, and reduced the rate
upon the tithe to 2s. per acre. Taking the annual value of the
lands 20. i. per acre, they left the rate upon them at 10s. per
acre, thus supporting the usage of rating tithes at enc.:fifth of
the aggregate assessment upon the lands.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT-LEWES, Aug. 5.

IfIGTON V. WILMNS.

The defendant was the proprietor of the Stable-yard of the
New Ship Hotel, at Brighton, and the plaintiff by this action
sought to recover 40/. and a fraction, as wages due to him, at
the rate of 7s. a week, as ostler. The defendant contended -
the contract with Higton was on the footing that he was not to
receive any wages, but was 'to be compensated by the perqui-
Sites resulting from his situation. This Was denied by the
plaintiff: After contradictory evidence offered as to the con-
tract, a verdict was given for the plaintiff.

CILEESMAN v. TAMPLIN.
This was an action to recover '100!. upon an agreement, the
plaintiff being the owner of three acres of gard:.... ground at
Brighton, for a term of 58 years, at a resrvei rent or 3W. per
acre. The plaintiff assigned it to the defendant, who was a.
brewer at Southwick, for the purpose of erecting a brewhouse.
As an inducement to the plaintiff to part with his garden
ground, the defendant was to give him 300!. and 100'. more in
case he did not offer to the plaintiff the first public house
which was vacant in his connection, or in case such an oppor:.
tunity did not occur within sever. months the 1001. was to be
paid. The agreement being put in, and the defendant failing
to prove the offer of the public-house or payment of the 1001.
a verdict was given for the plaintiff.

THE DUKE OF WELLIXOTON'S FETE.

This splendid Fete, gbien on Monday last, was attended by
upwards of six hundred persons of distinction. At two o'clock
the visitants arrived at the Warren ; they were amused with a
variety of military manoeuvres till bur, on'a bridge of boats in
an artificial piece of water. From lour till six the breakfast
took place, which consisted of the most delicate viands and
wines, laid out on six long tables fur forty-four each. The
banquet consisted of soups, cold meats, fruits, and confectionery,
Champagne and Claret in abundince. Three bands of
music played alternately during the repast. Soon after six,
waltzes and quadrilles were danced in the model roonz (the
apartment containing the outline of the first rates.)—This
beautiful rotunda was the admiration of every one.. The
daughters of ,the Duke of Argyll led off the dance With
the Marquis of Graham and Lord Brudenell. The spirit
of the scene was kept up till nine o'clock, when the fire-
works then exhibited astonished and delighted every spec-
tator. It *as between twelve and one yesterday 'morning,
when the festive scene 'closed. There were no less than six
bands of musicians. All perions of respectable appearance
were admitted, and even allowed to partake of, the dejeune.—

was a file better conducted. His Grace the Master-General
of the Ordnance was personally indefatigable in his atten-
tion, in which he was seconded by the Duke of York.—

CITY (IF LONDON TAVERN, FEB. e, 1822.

AT a MEETING of SHIP-OWNERS, held
this day, specially convened by Public Advertisement,
to take into consideration, whether any, and what, steps
should be adopted, to avert the RUINOUS CONSEQUENCES
with which the SHIPPING INTERESTS are threatened, by
the recent RESOLUTION of the PLANTERS of .JAMAICA,
to reduce the RATE of FREIGHT on SUGAR to ss. per cwt,

' J. W, BUCKLE, in the Chair.
Resolved unanimoudy, I'hat this Meeting have- learned;
with feelingt of the utmost concern, that the Planters of Ja.
maica havti route to the Resolution of Reducing the'Rates o
Freight upon Sugar from 6s. to 53. per cwt., and on other Ar.
titles in proportion.

Resolves!. unanimously, That this Meeting cannot hnt con-
sider the proceeding of the Planters, in forming such deter-
mination before the vessels had arrived in Jamaica, as an act
of extreme hardship on the Owners, inasmuch as they have
not been afforded the customary opportunity of offering,
through the medium of their Representatives, the Masters of
the Ships, such arguments as, by proving the imposSiblity
of ships being navigated on the terms 'proposed, might have
induced a different determination.

Resolved unanimously, That a remonstrance, addressed to
the Planters in Jamaica, be prepared and signed by the Ship-
Owners of London, for the consideration and approval of the
Planters and Merchants resident in this city, for the purpose
of being sent out to Jamaica, earnestly requesting them to re-
consider their Resolution of reducing the Freights in the man-
ner mentioned; and the impossibility that. the Owners of
.Ships, properly fitted, should be able to pay their expenses
thereout.

Resolved unanimously, That the Chairman of the %Vest In-
dia Planters he requested to call a Me, ting of the Planters of
Jamaica residing in and about London, for the purpose of
inspecting the accounts of a certain number of the Vessels
that sail first frpw. London, and an -equal number of the later
Ships, in order that the said Plnters may be able to deter-
mine the Rates of Freight which it is reasonable for the Ship-
Owners to charge, considering the capitals they employ, and
the risk and responsibility they undertake.
Resolved unanimously, That it being desirable that in fu-
ture years a Meeting of the Planters, Ship-Owners, and Mer-
chants, should he held in London, for the purpose of arrang-
ing what shall be the Rates-of Freight for the ensuing sea-
son, the Planters residing in Jamaica be requested to autho-
rize a regulation to that effect.
Resolved unanimously, That these Resolutions be inserted
in the public papers, and a copy thereof sent to the Chairman
of the Jamaica Planters and -the West India Merchants, and
to George Hibbert, Esq. the Agent for Jamaica, with a re-
quest that he will transmit the same to that Island, for the
purpose of insertion in the Kingston Royal Gazette, for the
general information of the Planters.

Mr. Buckle having left the Chair, it was Resolved Unani-
mouslyt That the best Thanks of the Meeting be given to him
for his able and impartial conduct therein.

I have tried in its turn all that life can supply ;
I have basked in the beam of a dark rolling eye ;
I have loved !--Who has not?—but what tongue will declare,
That pleasure existed whilst passion was there !

In the days of our youth—when the heart's in its spring,
And dreams that affection can never take wing,—
I had friends !—Who has not ?—but what tongue will avow
That friends rosy wine, are so faithful as thou!: •-•

The breast of a mistress some boy may estrange
Friendship shifts with the sun-beam ;--thou never cans't

change;
Thou grow'st old !--Who doe's not ?—but on earth what

Appears,
Whose virtues like thii:ehtii increase with their'years.

Yet if blest to the utmost that love can bestaw
Should a rival bow down to our.iclO. below ; •
We are jealous !--Who's not:?:-.4:ihast uo such alloy,
For the more that enjoy thee, the Tore they enjoy.
Then the season of Youth and its jali.c.iespast,
For refuge we fly to the goblet at.lost;,.. _
There we find—Do we not ?—,itt.the fkow ,of "the soul,

THE ICING V. JOHN AMBROSE WILLIAMS.

Mr. BROUGHAM again mentioned this case, and referred to
the postponement suggested on Saturday. There had been an
arrangement made between the parties, that the ground for
arresting the judgment and for a new trial should be urged
when the defendant was called on to receive judgment. - He
understood that no prejudice would arise to the defendant by
the delay.
The LORD CHIEF :JUSTICE sad this was understood by
the Court.

BORNE V. ATKPISON.
Mr. BROUGHAM moved for a rule to show cause why
the nonsuit in this case should not be set aside, and a new
trial granted. The action was for a malicious prosecu-
tion of the plaintiff' for uttering forged notes,- which was
tried before the Lord Chief Jtstice on the Northern
Circuit, and the plaintiff' was runsuited on the ground of
variance. There were three counts in the declaration • to the
first of which it was objected, that it setting out the Commis-

sion of the Judges of Oyer and Terminer, the word " routs,"
in the list of offences they were empowered to try, was omitted.
Now he contended that the term " all offences" included routs ;
and that, at all events, it was sufficient to show a power to try
the particular offence of which the party was indicted.
The LORD CrtiEr JUSTICE said, that he had taken no par-
ticular note of this objection, as the Learned Counsel passed
on to the second count when it was taken. If the first count
was good, it would answer the purpose of the plaintiff; but the
Court would grant a general rule to show cause.--Rule Nisi
granted.

THE KING V. FIET.DER AND ANOTHER.

Mr. ADOLPHUS rose on behalf of the defendants, who were
convicted before the Lord Chief Jusice in Middlesex, of keep-
ing a common gaming-house, to urge a point reserved for them
at the trial.

Mr. Justice BAYLEY asked if the defendants were present in
Court

Mr. ADOLPlirs replied in the negative; but suggested, that
as the point was saved for them at the trial, and as the Com-
mon Sergeant, who appeared for the prosecution, did not raise
the objection, their attendance might be dispensed with.
Mr. Justice I3AYLEY said, that the practice was,.on all mo-
tions for new trials in criminal cases, for the defendants to be
present in persons. Supposing this point were decided in fa-
vour of the defendants, the Court might think think proper to
inquire whether theiiwere not the same parties who had been
convicted there befoTe of a similar oance, and had never been
called on to receive judgment.
Mr. Anor.rx us said he would renew his motion when the
parties were in attendance.

DNENHAM V. HITCIIINGS AND ()Turns.

Mr. C. F. WILLIAms moved for a rule to spew cause why
the verdict for the plaintiff should not be set aside and a nonsuit
entered. It was an action by an attorney for fees, brought against
four defendants jointly, for defending separate suits in Chancery
against each, relative to tithes. The case was tried at Wells,
when the Learned Judge expressed his opinion that there was
reasonable evidence of a joint contract, but a bill had only been
delivered to one of the defendants. Ile (Mr. Williams) con-
tended, that even supposing the contract to be joint, a bill ought
to be delivered to each, as otherwise one party might fix the
others with the payment of charges of which they never received
the benefit.
The COURT intimated that there was much more doubt
whether a joint action could, under the circumstances, be sus-
tained at all, than whether, in case of a joint retainer, separate
bills were requisite. On both points, however, they granted a
rule to show cause.

MR. BOWRING.

-The following is an Extract of a Letter from
Boulogne, published in an Evening Paper yes
terday

" Boulogne, Nov. 9.

In reply to your inquiries relative to Mr.. Bowring, I
haye to inform you, that nothing whatever has transpired since
his sixth secret interrogatory, which took place a few days ago,
and will, it is supposed, be the last. The questions asked
during this examination had no relation whatever to the let-
ters or papers taken from the prisoner when arrested, but,
like the former, is said to have touched on matters altogether
foreign to the charges insinuated against Mr. Bowring in
the first instance. As those who occasioned the seizure
of our countryman seem to be influenced by the various appli-
cations to' bring him to trial, or specify the crime for which he
was arrested, and thus detaided, it is proper that his Ma-
jesty's Government and the public should know, that a Bri-
tish subject has been confined nearly five weeks, without an
acte d'accusation being brought against him ; and that of the
above period thirteen days were passed in a species of solitary
confinement. You are already acquainted with the spirited
steps taken by Mr. Canning and Sir Charles Stuart on this sub-
ject. I understand the answer to Sir Charles has been—that
where the tribunals interfere, his authority ceases to have any
effect. With such a vague reply, how strange that no trial
should be instituted."

Yesterday morning, soon after eight o'clock,
the Duke of CAMBRIDGE arrived in town from
Wimbledon, where his Royal Highness had been
on a visit to the Count and Countess ST. AN-
TONIO. Soon after his Royal Highness pro-
ceeded to Hyde Park, attended by his Aide-de-
Camp in Waiting, and. reviewed the Royal Horse
Guards.

Yesterday the Duke of YORK held a Levee as
Commander in Chief, at his Office in the Horse
Guards, which was attended by between twenty
and thirty Military Officers.
The Lords of the Treasury have granted a
fund for the messengers belonging to Ctirlton-
House, to do away with the unpleasantry they
have laboured -under for some years, in conse-
quence of there not being any advance regularly
permitted them, on going journeys ; there not
being any precedent for granting the required
advances. The compensation that was granted to
the servants belonging to his late MAJESTY'S
establishment, in lieu of meat, wine, &c. for their
lives, and then to die away, is to be stopped,
from last Christmas, from all those, who have
retired on a pension. In many instances some
halve received it seven or eight years.--(Morn-
ing Paper.)
It is reported that papers have been found
upon some of the insurgents taken in Castelfollit,
which compromise several persons about the Spa-
nish Court, and will render fresh precautions
necessary at Madrid.

A packet has arrived from Rio de Janeiro,
with letters to the 14th September. No political
events of any importance are mentioned. Sir
Thos. HARDY sailed on the 14th from Bahia, for
the protection of the English trade there. The
Conway had arrived from San Blasi with a cargo
of dollars.

TRADE TO SANTA FE.

ST. Lours, OCT. B.—About twenty individuals, with sixty
pack horses and mules, set out from this place last month
with an adventure of merchandize to Santa F 6. Messrs.
Baird and Chambers, who were prisoners in the interior for
nearly ten years, are of the.party.
They will go overland, passing Fort Osage, and going nearly
westerly between the waters of the Kanzas and Osage River.
After passing the western limits of this State, they will see no
white settlement or fort, nothing but Indians, until they arrive
at the Rio del Norto.

-It has long been conjectured that the interior provinces must be
supplied with merchandize through the branches of the Missis-
sippi, viz. by the Red R iier,Aricansas or Osage River. The Rio del
Norto is not navigable below the Passa, that is to say, the lower
half of it being .choked up with sands, and it is the only river
Which drains those provinces. • At present they are supplied
With inerchan dize by way of Vera Cruz and Mexico, which is
carried 1,500 miles overland on mules. The branches of the
Mississippi furnish a much shorter and cheaper rout, they being
navigable nearly to the • heads, within a few days travel of
Santa Fe.

This commerce has always been looked to as one of the re-
sources of St. Louis, and the eagerness to engage in it has been
so great, that the imprisonment of each successive party, and
the .confiscation of their goods, could not deter others adven-
turing in it under the Government. Since the revolution four
or five parties have gone without molestation, the present being
the largest adventure that we have heard of.
Malgaros, who ,commanded the party that took General,
then Lieutenant Pike, is now Governor of New Mexico, and
has treated the citizens or the United States who have visited
him with much civility.

Madame de MONTIVORENCY, who was stated a
few days ago in the French journals to have set
out from Paris to meet her husband at Chambery,
on his return from Verona, will now, it is sup-
posed, go forward to that city to join him there
before his departure. In the present state of
French parties, it is natural to think that a po-
litical intrigue would be apprehended as the
motive for a journey across the Alps at this season
of the year. Accordingly, it is whispered that
the Minister's wife is the bearer of secrets which
could not be intrusted to any less coufitiential
agent.—(The Times.)

,THE THEATRE.
.... .4

NE.- e cannot but feel much re-
gret that dramatic genius,except in very few in-
stances, has so much declined since The Pro-
voked Husband, the Comedy represented at thii
Theatre last night, was first presented to the
Public. It is well calculated to amuse the pass-
ing hour by the variety of its comic characters,
and to promote kind affections and the interests
of morality by the serious part of the fable.—
Mr. ELLI.STON, whose talents chiefly appear in
characters of a gay and whimsical description,
gave a very judicious and interesting support to
the part of Lord Townly. Mr. CoorEtt, in
figure, good sense, and fi.eling, is well calcu-
lated for the part. of Manly, in which he ap-
peared to advantage. DOWTON was quite at
home in Sir Francis ; and Mrs. DAvisoN and
Mrs. W. AVEsT very ably supported the parts of
Lady Tozvnly and Lady Grace. We entirely
agree with some of the daily Critics in repre-
hending the facetious tricks of 'Squire Richard
and Miss jenny at the back of the stage
while the dialogue is proceeding in front.—
This sportive gesticidation, though adopted
.by precedent, is not sanctioned by justice.
It is injurious to the other performers em-
ployed in the scene, and unjust to the audience,
-as the noisy laugh of the galleries impedes the
progress and due operation of the fable. Wo
have heretofore entered our protest against these
pantomime interpolations, and; are surprised that
. the other Performers have not opposed it, in
,• justice to the audience and to themselves.

MR. THEODORE HOOK.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

St it,--Some of the daily Papers having publish-
ed a Report of the Audit Board on my case, which, however
confusedly drawn up, and obscurely expressed, means to con-
vey grave imputations against me, I trust that you will permit
me to state that I never saw that Report till I saw it in the
Nevispaperz: ; nor could I have been aware either of the terms
in which, or the grounds on which the Auditors have ventured
to make such insinuations.

I shall lose no time in making my appeal to the proper au-
thorities ; in the mean while, I trust that the public will feel
that I have suffered no ordinary hardship in having imputa-
tions of such 'a nature promulgated under the sanction of offi-
cial authority, without having had the opportunity of being
heard in reply. I pledge myself to be able to prove that this
Report is a series of blunders, mis-statements, and exaggera-
tions, as gross in point of fact as they are absurd and discredit-
able in point of reasoning and arrangement.
It is the more necessary that I should trouble you with this
statement, because I have laid before the Lords of the Trea-
subt observations on a former Report of the Auditors, also
printed in the Newspapers before I saw it, which might, with-
out this explanation, be mistaken for a weak and inefficient
answer to the Report now in question. I am, Sir,

Your obedient servant,

London, Nov. 11, 1822.

Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and Lopez Banos, who has been
nominated Minister of War, was daily expected.
SEMLI'N, JULY 18.—According to several concurring ac-1
counts, Michale, Bozaris, and Normann, united together, con-
tinued their operations since the ltlth of June, and Chourschid
I'acha retreated towards LarisSa, after having suffered great
losses. It is, indeed, reported, that he had sustained a great
defeat near-Larissa, and escaped with only a few troops ; bnt
this last statement needs confirmation.
Accounts (that may be depended' on) from Bitoglia of the
Ist of July, say, that Omer Brione, whom Chourschid left at
Joannina, has likewise been defeatehy the Greeks and Suliots.
Larissa, it is said, still holds out ; but Greek troops ate ad-
vancing on all sides towards it. The defeat of the Turkish
fleet at Scio has produced an extraordinary sensation at Saloni-
ehi and Seres.
ANcoNA, JULY 13.—Among other vessels from the Archi-
pelago arrived here is a Greek ship, the Captain of which saw
the Turkish fleet on fire. His account of the affair agrees
with the others received before. The Captain Bey is said also
to have lost his life. Metelino is now secure from danger.
Bunivox, JULY 29.—0 n the 25th in the evening, after
much lightning, .we had a most dreadful storm which has ra-
vaged a vast extent of country. The crops are wholly destroy-
ed, the roofs and windows dashed to pieces, and for the space
of ten minutes pieces of ice fell, weighing from eight ounces
to one pound a half each, killing not only hares and birds,
but even many sheep. The distress caused by this visitation is
boundless.
VIENNA, JULY 25.—Metalliques, 79 5-16. Bank Shares,

780.
GENOA, JULY 24.—Important to Mariners.—On the 11th
July, at six o'clock in the evening, his Majesty's frigate Cris.
tina, Captain 'Wright, being becalmed at two miles And a half
to the N.N.E. three degrees E. of the Formiche de Montecristo,
and having taken soundings, found 35 fathoms, and then 30
fathoms, uver,a bottom of coral (corallo nascente), and after-
wards on a shoal (secca) of the length of half a milt, lying as
follows :—Centre of the shoal, at the depth of 173 feet in 42.25.
