EXTRACT OF A LETTER PROM BR:CItTON',
DATED SEPT. 7.

" Lieutenant-General CHARLES Baron Howl_
PERCH, and Captain Baron EBEN (late of the York
Hussars), have lately arrived here from London in
a Pleasure-boat, named the Mermaid (a small. ves-
sel of only four tone burtheni and the same; as is
reported here, in which the General once before
went to Holland). The reception given them by
the FRINGE of WALES was truly charaderistic of
that politeness and affability for which His Royal
Highness is sq superLetninentlY diatingtiished:7:—
They tVere invited to his daily table and at the
Races he furnished them With horses from his Royal
Stud. The PitINCE presented to each of .these
Gentlemen a very elegant Turkish Sword. The
G.eneral.and Captain EDEN are going from hence in
this little vessel to Havre de Grace,"

the Marley Indiarnan from China, arrived in a
very leaky condition in the-Downs, making nearly
twelve inches water per hour. She has on board
i 8,994. chests of tea of different sortsi . :

The Dutch past India Stock has fallen consider-
ably; before the rejeCtion of the proposition made
by the Government to the Legislature, to indemnify
the holders of Aaions, it was
.120 per cent.--It is
now 95:
Redhead, the Bankrupt, who lately absconded,
and for whom a reward of zool. was offered to any
person who might apprehend him, has surrendered
hiMself. Since quitting this Country, he has re-
sided in Hamburgh, and was reduced to the most
abject state of poverty.
On Sunday evening -last, the' following dreadful
accident happened. A very genteel dressed man
having got behind. one of the Stratford Stages, he
unfortunately got entangled in the wheel, which at
length drew him almost doubly between the spOkes,
and impeded the progresS of the carriage. ~ To ex.
tricate the unhappy man, it cvas found necessary to
take 'off the wheel, when his head appeared nearly
severed from his body, and otherwise shockingly
mangled. 'He was -taken to the Plough, at Mile
End, where he now lies for- the inspection of the
Coroner's Inquest. .
MANSION-HOUSE.—Yesterday .a man of the
name of Cunningham was charged before the
Lord Mayor with being ore of those desperate
charatlers called Bullock Hunters. ..Richard Tip-
per, a City Officer, told his Lordship, that -hay-
ing an information of the Prisoner and twenty more
assembling in Houndsditli on Sunday' night last,
and watching a drove of Bollocks going to Smith-
field, they hunted one from the drove, and car-
ricd it off.. From the description and former know-
ledge of the. Prisoner, they had every reason to
suppose he was one of them. They were likewise
charged with carrying off several persons hats, and
a -fine new hat being found on the Prisoner's head,
it was ordered to be taken care of till they should
see if any person claims it, or-if he bought it as he
pretends he did. He was committed for finther
.
examination,
