A return relative to the amount of money to be invested in
the reduction of the. National Debt in the present quarter,
has just been issued, and, as was anticipated, the sum to be
so laid out was very nearly 600,000/. This must have an
influence upon the value of Stock, and that, too, favourably,
as the amount of what was called Floating Securities in the
market is at present very small indeed.

news of.particular Impedance.

RECAPTURE OF THE HANNAH,
. OF SYDNEY.

A letter has been received at Lloyd's from the Ad-
miralty, containing the official documents relating to the re-
capture of the brigantine Hannah, of Sydney, of which the
following is a copy
" Government House, Auckland, New Zealand,
" Nov. 14, 1843.
" Sir,—l have to report the capture of the piratical brigan-
tine, the Hannah, by the harbour-master (Mr. Rough),
aided by a detachment of the 80th Regiment, under the
command of Ensign Wellinan, under the following circum-
stances :—On the 31st ult. it was reported by the police ma-
gistrate that he had issued warrants for the capture of
\Villiam Ellis, and eight seamen, upon a charge of piracy,
preferred by Mr. Horton, whom Ellis had forced to
act as mate of the Hannah, which had been
•seized by Ellis, whilst lying at the Chatham Islands, where
Captain Bell had been put ashore, and the supercargo and a
seaman who had been shot by Ellis, and were supposed to
have been mortally wounded, had been landed at some place
on the Southern Island. The schooner had then proceeded
to New Zealand, and lastly to a small harbour in one of the
Mercury Islands, :where she was at the time lying, and in-
tended proceeding to Torres Straits, on a piratical voyage. I
desired Mr. Rough to engage the Ariel schooner, belonging
to Messrs. Wright and Graham, who placed her at my dis-
posal, but she was lying with sails unbent and rigging un-
rove, without a crew. Notwithstanding, a crew were en-
gaged, the detachment shipped on board, with a month's
provisions, at midnight set sail, and at two r. Mc., next day,
'were alongside the Hannah, and captured her without re-
sistance. The .prisoners Have been committed for trial at the
next sessions, and the schooner has been detained for sailing
under false papers.
