The intelligence of the renewal of hostilities was
received at Bengal in September, when the follow-
ing Ships and Armed Ships were appointed to cruize
in the Bay of Bengal :
Bombay Frigate, Teignmouth Cruizet, Lady Castlereagh and
Calcutta Armed Indiamen, and the Waller Brig,

THE AR'l'.--SHEE has not been able to finish
his Portrait of Mrs. BI,LLINGTON for the approach-
ing Exhibition, as her, professional duties probably
would not allow of sufficient leisure. He has sent a
fine whole-length of Earl Mot RA ; a Portrait of
General TONYN, one of our most respectable mili-
tary veterans ; a Portrait of. Miss LEtokr, and se-
veral other works that will render him conspicuous
among the heroes of the pencil.
Mr. Fox has for the present relinquished his His:.
torical labours, though he has collected all the do-
cuments he wanted. We understand, indeed, that
he has expressed doubts, whevser he shall ever be
induced to finish the intended work.
From the central situation of Carlisle, it has of-
ten been considered by military men, as well calcu.
lated for a great dep6t fur arms and stores. In con-
sequence of this idea, the Military Engineer of the
Western District has made a minute inspection of the
various buildings, stores, &c. belonging to it, 'and
having made a report to the Board of ,Ordnance of
its great military, advantages, the Barrack Board has
given directions that all the rooms of the Castle shall
immediately be put into repair, and persons have
already contrasted for the masons' and carpenters'
work. The greatest expedition is to be used in
finishing the same, and we hear that an immense
quantity of military stores is constantly to be kept
there. It is said that the stores to be sent to that
garrison are to the amount of three hundred thousand
pounds.
By the Calcutta N.e,vspapers we learn, that early
in OLtober last, the Inhabitants at Sangur were
much surprized by the sight of a strange brig,
heavily laden, floating with the tide ; it appeared
that no one was on hoard, or that the Crew knew
not how to manage her. In consequence, a pilot.
boat went off, and found not a soul on board ; the
deck in many parts was covered with blood, and in
the cabin the clothes of several Europeans were
found, steeped in gore. As she was laden with
salt, it was supposed she was from the Coast of
Coromandel. No further particulars were received
when the last accounts left India.
On Sunday
,morning several Peace Officers pro.
ceeded to Shudehill,' near Manchester, in conse-
quence of private information that a house of ill
fame was kept in that neighbourhood. On entering
the suspected brothel, they found every thing per-
fectly quiet, and only an old woman sitting by the
fire, who, on being interrogated, confirmed their
suspicions by her evasive answers.—They insisted
upon searching the premises,. which the old beldame
reluctantly complied with, and irk their progress dis.
covered a door fastened on the outside with a pad-
lock. She was desired to open it, which, after
falling on her knees and begging they would not
insist upon, she positively refused. The door was
therefore forced open, and a number of infamous
wretches of both sexes were seen in very indecent
situations, some being. in bed, others half dressed,
and some standing naked ; all of whom, to the
number of seven men (chiefly low-bred Irish) and
seven women, were, after a desperate resistance,
secured; and being bound all together with strong
cords, Were concluded through thy streets, and safely
I fudged in the New Baylty.
