accounts of the plague raging. along the coast of
Barbary, from Cape Bon to Tangiers ; in conse-
quence of which considerable a pprehen,inus are

• LORD EItSKINE.-There vas an account yes-
terday in a Morning Paper of an outrage com-
mitted on this Nobleman and a L.-stip, in the
treighbourbood of Fleet-market. The following
is given as a statement of the affair :—As the
Noble Lord was driving its an open carriage into
Holborn from Fleet-street, the crowd of carriages
which at that tune was passing along Holborn-
bridge occasioned a temporary stoppage of the
vehicles that were proceeding through Fleet-
market. Among those was one Of the descrip-
tion called a tax-cart, driven by a man said to he
a baker, who had been in the rear, and who en-
deavoured to break out of the line, arid push for-
ward immediately before his Lordship. Lord
ERSKINE stretching out his whip before the cart-
horse's head, and with no more force, it appeared,
than was proper to intimate a wish to restrain the
intended irregularity, was instantly assaulted by the
driver with a violence and ferocity which the feel-
ings of a man cannot bear to recite, or reprobate
in terms of adequate indignation and abhorrence.
The ruffian respected neither sex, nor rank, nor
age but repeated his attacks upon the Lady and
his Lordship, till the instrument of his outrage
became broken iu his hands. The demeanour of
his Lordship during the whole of the affair was ita
all respects becoming his distinguished rank and
character. He received the addresses of such
Gentlemen as rushed forward in his defence, who
were ‘vitnesses of the assault, to enable him to
have recourse to the only power to which it was
befitting him to appeal—THE LAW.

It is but just to notice the liberality of Lord
Viscount (...:ouRTENAY and his trustees .to the
labouring poor of the town of Newcastle, where
upwards of 200 labourers have been constantly
employed, during the last four months, at the sole
expense of his Lordship, in repairing the streets
and approaches to the town—whereby those
persons and their families have been rescued from
the wretchedness attendant on tlw. present
scarcity and general want of employment, and
the perfect tranquillity of that district has beets
happily preserved.—(Limerick Chronicle.)
