LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

THE PIRATE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN.
A letter received at Lloyd's, from their agents at
Malta, of the 15th inst., of which a copy is subjoined,
shows that this rover of the sea continues his lawless
pursuit without hindrance or dread of detection. The
mny cases of recent piratage in the Mediterranean,
attributed to a Greek barque, who has escaped•the vigi-
lance of the men-of-war up to the date of the following
letter, calls for very active measures for its suppression.
The great injury which the shipping interest, both at
home and abroad, has sustained by the repeated depre-
dations of this pirate, would insure much eclat to him
who may be fortunate enough to capture her. Certain
it is that the infamous but bold depredations, if not
horrible butchery, of this vessel calls for very prompt
measures for her seizure.

" Malta, April 15.
"We have already mentioned that a suspicious-looking
vessel had been fallen in with in the month of March off
Cape Massaro, by the Capper, arrived at Smyrna. We
now learn that two small craft, which sailed from Sici-
lian ports on the same day, for this port, with specie,
have not reached their destination. One vessel has not
been heard of, whilst the other has been picked up at
sea abandoned, with the water.casks emptied, and with
other signi of having been plundered."

The auction at the Countess of Mansfield's, on
Richmond-hill, commences this day, and continues eight
days without interruption, excepting only Sundey.
MASTERS AND SERVANTS.—Mr. H. G. Knight is
one of the tender nurses of the Masters and .Servants
Bill now in Parliament; and if the infant be well nursed
what a " monster" it will prove ! Meetings throughout
the country are holding, for the purpose of petitioning
Parliament against this infamous Bill. It is a lamentable
fact that, since the Tories regained power, we have ha
nothing but fresh oppressions and tyranny.--Nottingham

NEW WORK by " HARRY LORREQUER,"
Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., post Bvo.,
m-R. LEVER'S ARTHUR O'LEARY,
Iva:, ILLUSTRATED BY GEORGE CRUIKSHANK.
" A. Work tom the graphic pen of HARRY LORREQUER, films-
rated by the pencil of GEORGE CR UIKSHANK, carries with it
such a recommendation as may almost defy criticism. And, truth to
say, we hardly know how to convey an adequate notion of the exu-
berant whim and drollery by which these volumes are character-
ised. They are a perpetual feast of gaiety. Adventure succeeds to
adventure, scene to scene, character to character, and in all so much
variety, so much genuine humour, that every taste must find some-
thing wherewith to he pleased. Arthur O'Leary's Wanderings carry
as front Paris to Brussels, from Brussels to the Briumens of Germany,
among Dutch smugglers into the mountains of Spa, along the banks
of the Rhine ; and everywhere fresh adventures, rich anecdotes,
marvellous escapes, and unexpected wonders present themselves.
Mr. Lever's style is admirably adapted, from its dashing character,
to delineate such scenes as he has chosen for his hero."—John Bull.
