(From the Quebec Papers.)

The arrivals from sea now amount to 800 sail of vessels.
At the same period last year 743 only had arrived, but
the amount of tonnage was greater, being 198,482 tons;
whereas that of the present year is no more than 194,913.
On the 7ch of September last year 40,151 emigrants had
arrived. The number this year is 20,813.

The above papers bring some particulars of the loss of
the Lady of the Lake amongst the ice.
We have received Jamaica papers via New York to the
22d August, which contain the following ;—" There was
considerable rejoicing at Jamaica yesterday, in consequence
of the reported recall by his Majesty's Government of the
Earl of Mulgrave." The Jamaica Dispatch of the same
date publishes the same report; but neither of the papers
of the two subsequent days confirm this report.
Bermuda papers to the 2Sth August have been received,
but they do not contain anything of general interest. The
Colonial Parliament has been prorogued to the 28th ult.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

The CHAIRMAN stated that he had received the follow-
ing letter from John Minter Hart, who was charged
with stealing Bills of Exchange to the amount of 5,0001. :
Sir,—l bave to request that you will have me brought
up early this morning, to swear an affidavit, in order to
ground a motion before the Court.

Oct. 9, 1833.
The CHAIRMAN, in deprecating the practice of writing
lettere to him, said thAt It had reached his ears that he
was an intimate friefld of Mr. Astley (the prosecutor),
but the fact was, that he had never seen or beard of that
gentleman before he came into that Court the other day.
11r. ALLEY said, that if lettere of this description were
made public, together with the opinion of the Chairman,
the system would terminate in two months.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

The Lord Chancellor has made another of
his rapid movements. He passed through London from
the Nortb, to visit Lady Brougham and his family at
Brighton, on Saturday, returned to town on Monday,
and dined with Lord Holland at Holl-ind House, and
started again very early yesterday morning on his return
to Brougham Hall.
The venerable Earl Fortescue is so far re-
covered from his late illness as to be enabled to walk out.—
TVestern Paper.

The ex-Secretary, Sir Robert Peel, was re-
ceived by the populace outside the church with every mark
of disapprobation. We regret this exceedingly; but the
Right Hon. Bsronet was amply compensated for this un-
toward event by the agreeable circumstance of his having
been introduced, by Mr. Francis Lloyd, to the leader of
the populace, Mr. George Edmonds. The parties ap-
peared to receive each other with great cordiality. This
is as it should be; but we suspect that the Right Hon.
Baronet has not taken much by this grand Tory movement.
The Whigs are not more likely now than heretofore to be
superseded by their opponents.—Birmingham Journal.

On Thursday last the Duke of St. Albans,
attended by a party of friends, gave a public exhibition of
his falcons at Uckington-field, about two miles on the
Tewkesbury road. A very large concourse of spectator,
were assembled to witness so novel a sport, all of whom
appeared delighted. After the " flight" the Duke and
Duchess gave a splendid cold collation to a select party at
Pittville.

VICE-REGAL HOUSEHOLD.—The newspa-
pers are copying from each other that General Grey, bro-
ther of the Premier, is appointed Controller of the Lord-
Lieutenant's household, with a salary of 2,000/. a-year ;
and this paragraph, which every paper is Dublin knows
to be false, appeared in the Evening Packet without re-
mark. The salary, instead of being 2,000/., is even un.
der 5001. a-year; and Lord George Hill, Controller to
Lord Anglesea, was re-appointed to the same office by
the Marquis Wellesley ; nor has General Grey, or C)lonel
Grey, any appointment in the household, or in Ireland.
Earl Grey's youngest son, who some time ago purchased a
lieutenancy in the 51st Infantry, and who recently did
duty in Dublin with the 43d Regiment, is one of the
Lord-Lieutenant's aides-de-camp—a situation of which
the principal emolument is a forage allowance for a couple
of horses ; and this is magnified into a Controllership to
the General of 2,000/. a-year !—Dublin Times.
A new commission has been issued for West-
moreland ; and amongst the gentlemen whom the Lord
Lieutenant has at length deemed worthy of being appointed
Magistrates are the following :—R. Tinkler, Esq., A.
Shepherd, Esq., J. Richards, Esq., Sickville Rippon,
Esq., W. Moore, Esq., W. D. Cottyn, E-q., and a Capt.
Irving.— Carlisle Paper.

THE LATE ACCIDENT BY THE QUICK-
SILVER BRIGHTON COACH.—The whole of the individuals
who suffered so severely a few weeks back, by the upset-
ting of the Quicksilver coach, have now recovered. Mr.
Alexander, on hearing of the accident, sent eminent
medical men to the sufferers, all of whose demands he has
settled, as well as their expenses at the inns. It is said
he paid Mr. Levy, the principal sufferer, 6001. The
only gentleman who refused to receive any compensation
was Mr. C. Pearson, the Common Councilman.

London has 194,000 houses, and 1,474,000
inhabitants; Paris 45,000 houses, and 774,000 inhabit-
ants; Peteraburgh, 9,500 houses, and 449,000 inhabit•
ants; Naples, 40,000 houses, and 360,000 inhabitants;
and Vienna, 7,500 houses, and 300,000 inhabitants.

MANCHESTER.—The following are the num-
ber of voters in Manche4ter last and present year :—ln
1832, 4,288 ; in 1833, 5,326. In 1832, including the
townships, 6,787: in 1833, ditto, 7,334.

SALFORD.—The number of voters this year,
as compared with last, show a diminution of 140. In
1832 it was 1,495; in 1833 only 1,355.
GLOUCESTER.—The number of freemen re-
t tined upon the register for the city of Gloucester is 753,
being twenty-eight more than last year ; the number of
101. householders is 818, exhibiting an increase of sixteen
over last year's list ; but as many of these are also in the
freemen's list, the total of electors will probably not
exceed 1,300.

WOLVERHANIPTON.-1 he Commissioners
of the town are to become the lessees of the Duke of
Cleveland's market rights from Lady-day next. This ar-
rangement will enable the Commissioners to make many
regulations long wanted fur the convenience of the public,
and put an end to the litigation against the Duke's late
lessee.

NEW MUSKET.—A gunsmith at Irelles, in
Belgium, of the name of Alontigny, has latterly made
some biehly-successful experiments, in the presence of
several officers, with a musket of new construction, for
which he has taken out a patent. The charge is inserted
at the breach. He loaded and fired 21 times in three
minutes, whilst three experienced hands with rifles were
not able to load more than 14 times altogether in the
same interval.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Monday even-
ing, between six and seven o'clock, 'as one of the waggons
of Messrs. Smith, distillers, of Whitechapel, was return-
ing to town, the horses started off in Rumley-road, op-
posite ti the Royal Hospital at Greenwich, and the driver,
in attempting to stop their progress, was knocked down,
when the waggon passed over both his hips. He was
immediately conveyed to the Royal Hospital Infirmary,
while the waggon continued its career as far as London.
street, when a Royal Marine, named William Burchley,
jumped up behind and, removing to the fore part of the
waggon, got on the shaft horse's back, and cau ht the
bridle so as to stop the horses. The poor man is since dead.

At Braintree Fair, on Wednesday, there was
the largest show of stock ever remembered, and altogether
it was of a very superior quality. Nearly 10,000 sheep
were penned, which, with the beasts, sold briskly on the
first day at good prices. Horses met a dull sale, the
high prices demanded preventing many from changing
hands. There was a larger show of hops, principally
of E,sex growth, than was expected ; the samples were
generally of pretty good quality, and met a tolerable sale
at from 71. to 101. per cwt. A small quantity of cheese
and butter was sold, the latter at 555. per firkin.—
Essex Herald.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE--SEVEN-
TEEN LIVES LOST.-We regret to learn that the account
of the loss of a boat on the Erris coast, to which we
briefly alluded in our last, has been confirmed, and that
the casualty has been much more serious than we had at
first anticipated. It appears that on Saturday last, a
small boat, with seventeen persons on board, was return-
ing from Belmullet to Kilgalligan, and when near Broad-
haven, she was struck by a heavy sea, and upset, burying
her entire crew in the briny deep. One man, named
Anthony Ruddy, who was to have been of the party, was
so drunk, that they were obliged to leave him behind, and
thus, for once, whisky, which has been the destruction
of so many of our countrymen, stood his friend, and saved
him from the unhappy fate of his companions. The un-
fortunate event was not ascertained for two days after-
wards, when the boat was thrown in upon the shore at
Enver.....314y0 Constitution.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.

SIR,—At the period when economy in the public el"
penditure of the country is so loud'y called for, it if t4B
duty of individuals, however humble, to contribute the!r
little mite of information, is order to enable the publie,
Press to call the attention of our representatives to this tope"
important subject, when they next assemble. With this
view, allow me, Sir, to lay before you a statement of What
I humbly conceive to be a gross misapplication of pob"„4
money in North Britain, more particularly applicable
the branch of revenue called Crown Lands. The Ir.°
ceivers may be most honourable men, but what I assert
that the sums paid away to them belong' to the public, 3°,
ought to be applied to the general necessary expenditur-
of the country, in place of feeding a pampered oligarch, :

But the richest part of the " Conservative I-far/eel
renaaios to be told. The Noble Hereditary Keepers
our Royal Palaces, not content with drawing saisr4,
for nominal duties, have in many cases sold off
property attached to their posts, and pocketed the amoaLiti
as, for example, " The Cock of the North" has alien',"
extensive grounds of great value, attached to the Castle G°
Inverness, and received thousands of pounds for the Int ry
property thus alienated ! ! and even of late has actliard
received a sum of 300/. from the public consto.o9
authorities of the town and county, for allifilk
them the use of the scite of the Castle for public MO

Liverpool, too bad?
