CUBA PIRATES.
• .
( From The Charleston Mercury.)
Captain Mayo (of the brig Iris) inform us,
that nearly the whole coast of Cuba, from Point Ycacaos to
Matanzas, is covered with the remains of vessels and broken
boxtis, trunks, &c. proving the extensive depredations that are
committed in that quarter. It is his opinion that a great many
murders are committed, and that his own life and that of his
crew were in the most imminent danger. On board of tht:
prize schooner there were found several articles of fine wearing
apparel, some marked W. P. Dixon. There is a regular intercourse kept up between the pirate*
and Matanzas. Vessels are constantly going out which bring
in valuable merchandise of all kinds—the marks on packages
are obliterated,and goods disguised so as to prevent, if possible,
any thing leading to a discovery of their history.

ALARMING' ACCIDENT AT THE SEAT OF LORD
VISCOUNT GIIANVILLE.--At Wherstead. Lodge,
in Suffolk, list week, the Noble Lord had a large
party of friends to enjoy the sports of the field.
On Thursday last they were out scouring a wood.
The morning was hazy, and the nuke of WEL-
LINGTON was so intent on his game, that he lost
sight of the party, and in firing his double.
barrelled gun, his Grace unfortunately lodged a
part of the contents in the face of his Noble
Host ; • seven swatt.shot entered the cheeks, and
one the nose. Ilk Grace, hearing au exelaination of "I am shot," threw down his piece and hurried
to the spot, where he found his friend leaning
against a tree, the face streaming with blood.
One of the party galloped off to Ipswich for
medical aid, whilst the others carried the ivounded
Nobleman to the lodge. A surgeon, in less than •an hour, attended, extracted the shot, and pro.
flounced the Noble patient to be not in any
danger. We are happy to add that his Lordship
is now perfectly recovered, and returned to town.
PErkamkt.n.—This town, which, if it has not
been going to decay, has experienced no improvement for soma
time past, is now, we are happy to say, once mere rearing its
head, by the removing of nuisance!, the repairing of houses, and
the building of new ones ; yid it is confidently anticipated that
when the bridge anti causeway between flaunt and Ilayling
Island are finished. Peterafield will once snore become a tiou..
rishing town. It was formerly a very considerable minutiae.
turing place for woollen cloths, at which upwards of one thou.
sand persons were employed. It is expected that flayling
Wand will. prove a great source of attraction to fashionable
company in the ensuing season, and great preparations ate
making for their reception.--( gmtliamplea Luminary.)
