A commercial letter of the: 26th ult., from
Trieste, received yesterday, says, that news had
arrived there, by a vessel from Smyrna, of an
embargo having been laid by the Turks on ail
Greek property. There was, however, according
to the report, uo want of ships, of different Eu. ,
ropean flags, in the Archipelago, for the protec.-
tion of their commerce.
A detachment of about 70 officers and men of

the 20th Regiment will embark, in a few days,
on board the East India Company's ships OrvseiL
and Macqueen, at Gravesend, for Bombay, to
jointheregiment.

The Countess of WARWICK, we are happy to
hear, is considered in an improving state.
An eccentric Irishman, whose name was J.
WHITELY, and who was well known in England
as an itinerant Manager, was one, night playing
Macbeth, and having made his exit at the
stage door to commit the murder upon Duncan,
he demanded of the property-man where Cie
colouring was, with which to give the appea:-
auce of being bloody to the daggers and his hands.
The property -man, well knowing the consequence,
trembled as he informed him he had forgotten it.
" Have you, my dear .2" said WHITELY—and with
his fist he struck the man a violent blow upon the
nose, which producad a copious flood of blood ;
with the precious liquid he quickly coloured his
hands and the daggers, and telling the unfor-
tunate fellow to be. more careful again, he pre-,
sented himself to the audience.

CHELMSFORD, OCT. 4.—Resurrection from the
Grave.-1 arrived last evening, about five o'clock,
in this town, and strolling round the church yard,.
I was attracted within the walls of the church by
the appearance of a corpse, followed by an im-
mense number of mourners of both sexes,-
who were paying the last tribute of respect
to a deceased friend. Whilst the funeral
service was reading over the body, a noise-
was heard to proceed from the coffin, which,
for a moment, arrested the attention of the
clergyman and his auditors; but as the noise
appeared to cease the service was concluded,
each individual being persuaded it must have
proceeded from quite a different source than the
coffin. Just, however, as the coffin was being let
down into the tomb, the same sound as before
issued from it, accompanied with a noise very
similar to the yelping of a puppy, when in an
instant the inclosed person, by a sudden and vio-
lent effort, thrust off the lid of the coffin, with her
arms hanging on each side, with eyes wide open
and rolling, in their sockets, at the affrighted
multitude assembled round, and actually ap-
peared herself considerably " more affrighted
than hurt." She was immediately released
from her unpleasant situation, and borne back
to her habitation on the very same bier
which supported her to the ground. I under-
stand from the surgeon who has attended
her, and whom I have seen this morning, that
she has had a very good night, and is likely final-
ly to recover. She is a widow, and, had she
" slumbered in the arms of death," would have
left ten children wholly unprovided !-

ferior samples were dull sale at from I is. to 18s. per qoarter.

and Peas no alteration.
