A bottle, which wag thrown from on board the Brighton
packet ship, from New York to London, on the Ist ult., in
lat. 49. 25., long. h. 21., war picked up the end of last mouth,
about half a mile from Alderney.

The Prince of Indes revenue cutter, Captain
OLIVER, arrived in Leith Roads on Thursday,
from a cruize in the North Sea. On Sunday last,
in consequence of some signals from the shore,
the Prince ty 117aIcs gave chace to a vessel, sup-
posed to be a smuggler, but on her bringing to,
she proved to be a French fishing vessel. The
firing heard at Usan proceeded from the Prince
°Pirates, but it would appear that the smuggler,
which landed part of her cargo in that quarter,
has escaped.
On the 7th instant the crew and passengers of
the Commerce, BaowN, on her passage front
Shields to London, beheld two enormous large
whales, sporting with great animatiots, off Scars
borongh. They came so near to the vessel as to
be visible in the whole extent of their dimensions,
and even to render the barnacles discernible,
with which one of them was much covered.
It is with pleasure wo learn that the rate of
6d. in the pound, now laid for the mainte-
nance of the poor and for the churches and clergy,
is calculated to he sufficient for the current year.
This low rate is owing to a considerable sum of
the last year's rate having remained uncollected.
We Lelieve that the weekly expenditure since
Easter is about the satne amount as for the like
period last year. It must be satisfactory to the
parishioners to know, that whilst the most strict
attention to economy continues to be paid by the
Select Vestry, the wants of those who apply for
relief are diligently attended to.—(Liverpool
Advertiser.)
Chevalier llocuTv, the Swedish Consul-Gene-
ral at Cairo, has sent to the CROWN Palmer. an

name of Aliny, who brought them over. The
Swedish Consul at Alexandria, Mr. Axarraat
(a learned and wealthy Creek merchant), has
also sent to the KING an Arabian horse, which
will come by the way of Leghorn, and a sarco.
which connoisseurs
say, is

several ttsaulsta'nd dollars ; this last
has already arrived at Marseilles.
CONJUGAL AFFECTION.—Some time ago,
poor woman labouring under temporary derange-
ment, hung herself in her own house. As soon
as her husband was awiire of her situation, he
set ohmn search of a medical man, leaving
avitnigd
his un-
fortunate wife suspended by the neck, hiving
strict injunctions, that she should not be meddled
with, till he returned. A number of persons
collected in consequence of the alarm, among
when' was a man who had been tasting the
" harley.bree." lie bawled out, " why don't
you cut the woman down ?" When several
females immediately replied—" Ye drunken
brute, would you put a finger on her, when her
gude man's a wa' for the doctor." The toper,
nevertheless, cut her down, but too late So save
her life.--(Scotch peper.)
CHILD MunDra.—Thursday last the body of
a female child was discovered in the river, not
far from Horsley, Gloucestershire, tied up in an
apron, on opening which, it was seen that the
poor infant had been barbarously murdered, and
an inquest was that day held, when the Jury re-
turned a verdict of" Wilful Murder against some
person unknown." Suspicion falling upon a ser-
vant girl who had left the neighbourhood and
come to Cheltenham, she was traced, and taken
into custody on Friday. She made a full con-
fession of her guilt, and acknowledged having
beaten the child to death, in consequence of the
threats of her father and mother, who declared

they would turn her out of doors ; and she
thought, " as she would then be thrown upon
the world, she had better destroy her infant,and
then she would be out of her trouble, as she was
sure justice would overtake her, and she must be
banged." Sh'e was taken down to Horsley, where
she now remains In custody.
