PLY:IIO'2,7R, ATOLL I.—We yesterday stated the
arrival-of the letter of marque ship Bess, belonging
to and from London, W. CARR master, . bound to
Grbral!ar, which vessel, off Cape Finisterre, encoun-
tered a tremendous gale of wind, in Nvhich she
strained so much as to make three feet of water in
the hold an .hour, when shehore away for this port,
and with the greatest difficulty reached it, as on her
passage hit-her she experienced continual gales, du-
ring which, the crew were constantly at the pumps:
The Bess is a very fine copper-bottomed vessel,well
armed, with a large complement of men, and has a
Very valuable cargo, part of which is to be discharged
immediately, in order to effect the repairs of the
vessel.

The brig Susanna, belonging to this port, of about
140 tons burthen, PERRIAIi master, from Lisbon,

There i 3 a label on a door in Palace-yard, which
punsters me), consider as a whimsical paradox, viz.

" The Stationary Office removed to Scotland-yard."

NOTTINGHAM RIOTERS.—In the removal of the
four Nottingham rioters, sentenced to fourteen years
transportation at the late Assizes, and three fOr se-
ven years, due precaution was taken to guard against
any disturbance, and to prevent any attempt at res-
cue. Pearkes and Adkins, the Bow-street Officers,
wit h:seyeral of the patrole, were dispatched to Not-
tingham, to make arrangements for the quiet remo-
Val of the conviels. A party of cavalry guarded
them for some distance on the road. A stage-coach
was hired to start at an unaccustomed hour, which
on Monday morning, soon after five o'clock, drove
up to the door of the prison : another pair of
horses were stationed near at hand—they were rat
to without delay ; at that instant, the convitts hav-
ing
,been previously chained, were placed in and
Upon the coach, Pearkes and Adkins going inside,
and the other outside. At the instant the convicts
came out of the prison the cavalry rode up and sur-
rounded them : the whole was managed so sect etly,
that there were not more than forty people collect-
ed. They proceeded on very quietly till they got to
Leicester, where they stopped to breakfast, and
where the novelty of a military guard escorting a
stage-coach attracted a great crowd. The military
proceeded a few miles out of Leicester, and then
all danger being considored at an end, they were
dismissed, and they arrived at Newgate on'Tnesday,
and yesterday were delivered at the Hulks, at
Woolwich.
We understand that the respite of the execution
of Wm. Jemott, which was to have taken place on
Saturday morning last, arose from the discovery of
certain circumstances strongly tending to induce a
belief of his having been an unconscious agent in the
piracy for which he is condemned. This coovitlion
.is, we hear, so forcibly on the minds of a very large
proportion of the Commercial body," that a petition,
stating such convitction, has been sent up to the
PIIINCE.REGENT in Council, signed by 300 of the
roost respectable names in Lloyd's. The MI-air is
now under consideration, and a favourable result is
expetted.
The 20th ult. Ellen Nevison, of How, near
Hawkshead, was found murdeted in her own house,
and 15. guineas in gold taken away.
