PLYMOUTH DOCK., Thursday.—Mr. ThotiNtotql;
our new Minister to the Court of Brazils, aiffiVed
at WEAKLET'S Hotel late last night, where he had
been expected for some days. This morning iie
embarked onboard the Superb, Commodore eyl;.
THOMAS HARDY, under a salute, and immediateq
got under weigh, accompanied by the Vengenr,,
Captain MAITLAND, and the Hyperion, Captain
SEARLE. The latter ship is to make the best of
her way to Madeira, for the purpose of taking in
a supply of wine for the whole of this Squadron,
whose destina,tion and object are involved in mys-
tery. Sir Tnom.ts HARDY, it is stated, sails with
sealed orders, which are not to be opened till he
reaches a certain latitude. Each ship is in fine
lighting trim, being put upon, the full. War Esta-
blishment, both as to seamen and marines, with
an extra supply of stores. 'phis, at a period of,
profound Peace, bespeaks not only a long and
active service, but a distant station. The Dutch
brig of war Gier sailed yesterday, and a British
frigate from the Eastward, said to be the Spartan,
came to an anchor this afternoon in the Sound,
having first saluted the AdMiral's flag. The
PRINCE REGENT, it is rumoured, is to embark at
Brighton on the 12th, when it is confidently
said that he will visit this port.—Fnrtber particu-
lars to-morrow.

DIMINUTION OF CRIME IN THE METROPOLIS
At the-ensuing Old Bailey Sessions there are 316
prisoners for' trio!, .which is less by 161 than
there were at the corresponding Sessions of last
year, and 83 less than there ►►ere at the same
period in the year 1817.

It is said that a town meeting will take place at
Birmingham, in the course of the ensuing week,
on the subject of the late events at Manchester,
and that Sir FRANCIS BURDSTT, Sir C. WOLSELY,
and Mdjur CARTWRIGHT, are expected to be
present.

There is an Englishman now resident at the vil-
lage of Radam on the Nile, a considerable distance
from Cairo, who has engaged in a concern with
the Pacha for the purpose of refining Egyptien
sugar, and distilling rum from the molasses ob-
tained. A recent traveller asserts that he has com-
pletely succeeded ; that the sugar is equal to any
loaf sugar we ste in Eurape ; and the rum so ex-
cellent, that all the great Turks are forgetting the
sober and salutaty precepts of the Koran.
Nothing calls forth so much astonishment from
strangers who visit this city, as the number of our
new buildings. Edinburgh, within these 30 years,
scents doubled its size, and still other streets are
forming in every direction, ground is fencing out
its almost every road leading from the city, tool no
abatement,of this spirit yet appears. While we
complain of a stagnation in business, of an excess
of hands in every business, of a superabundant
population, and aasecessity for encouraging emi-
gration, we still observe a rapid increase in the
number of houses, and an increase of splendour
in the way of living in every class. These are
problems which might afford useful employment
to some of those comprehensive minds which are
so kindy devoted to the public service, which pre-
tend to know every thing, and to foresee every
thing, but are satisfied with' nothing.—(Edin-
burgh Paper.)
The neighbourhood of Kensington has hitherto
been the refuge of the moat dexterous and auda-
cious villains in the Metropolis. Burglaries with-
in the last few weeks have been committed to
an alarming extent, and with impunity; and
on Thursday night only, some of this daring gang
tore up the pump opposite the White Lion public-
house, and cartied it away, leaving the greater
part of the neighbourhood, who depended sole-
ly on the same for water, in the greatest
want, in consequence of the loss of this temple of
convenience.—Yesterday morning some daring
villains broke into the premises of Mr. Stoddart,
coach-maker, of South Audley-street, Grosve-
nor-square, and stole a quantity of glasses from
several carriages, chariots, and landaus, with which
they made their escape.
Monday a dreadful whirlwind passed over Hut-
ton Cranswick. taking a ditection between Drif-
field and ‘Vansford ; at Hutton CrauSwick it blew
down one barn and two stables ; and in its pro-
gress from thence it swept away corn in the stook
as clean as if it had beets led off the ground ; a
pike of hay was completely taken up into the air;
'the road between Driffield and Vl'ansford, over
which the wind heti 'sassed, was rendered impass-
' able by the branches and trunks of trees, which
had been broken off or torn up. A poor man, of
the name of Reastott, who had taken shelter froM
the rails under a stook of corn, was surprised by
the wind taking it instantaneously into the air, to
his no small terror.'—(lfell Aduertiser.)
Last Sunday the following ludicrous circum-
stance occurred :—A Clergyman, not far from the
town of B--, in this county, on ascending the
pulpit, discovered that he had unfortunately lost
his sermon ; when, after apologizing for the ac-
cident, he dismissed the congregation ; but on his
descending from the pulpit, he rejoiced with ex-
ceeding great joy, that be had found the lost
sheep, and sent his clerk out into the highways
to bring back his flock, which was accomplished
in a sew minutes, and the service was resumed,
and concluded to the great comfort and edification
of all parties.—(Bath Herald.)
Last Sunday, a gentleman on the Union coach
having stopped at Buckden to take some refresh-
ment, a double-barrelled fossling-piece which he
held between his legs, by some accident happened
to slip from his hand, when it instantly went off,
and the charge lodging in the back parts of his
leg and thigh, they were so lacerated, that atnpu,
tation was rendered indispensable, which the pa-
tient, next day underwent with the greatest forti-
tude; and, we understand is going on well,—

THE THEATRE.—II is a reproach to the'public
taste, that so excellent a Comedy as The Provoked
Husband, with.so prominent a list of Performers,
should have been represented last night at Covent-
garden Theatre before a scanty
.audience.---,Mr.
C. KRMBLE, for the first time, we believe, assum-
ed the part of Lord Townly, and he acquitted him-
self so well, as not only to satisfy the rigour of cri-
ticism, but strongly to interest the general feelings.
He was easy, gentlemanly, and interesting in the
earlier scenes, but peculiarly impressive in the
last. He received vet), warm tokens of approha-
lion. Lady Townly found a very spirited repre-
sentative in MrS. DAVISON. ABBOTT'S Manly was
very respectable, and BLANCH AHD'S Sir Francis
very eniertaining. So was LISTON'S Squire Richard,
and Mt s. GIBBS'S Miss Jenny. The after. piece was
The Barber of Seville, and the Theatre has evi-
dently obtained a very great acquisition in Miss
'nue, who performed the part at Rosina. She is
a singer of a very high order, and when she. has
wholly divested herself of the timidity usual with
noviciates when they are brought to the severe
ordeal of a London audience, she will, we are
persuaded, manifest very great musical powers.—
But, though young, shire is not a novice, as
she has acquired a considerable degree of pro•
sincial reputation. Her figure and features
are very pleasing. Her manner is easy, unaffect-
ed, and interesting, and she birds fair to become
very conspicuous among the popular favourites of
the day,h--The audience received her as a very
promising candidate for their favour, and we
have no doubt that her reputation Will speedily
be established.

,Mr. YOUNG is now performing at Norwich.
The Mayor of that city has, it seems, invited
him to sojourn at his own house bring the en-
gagement. This, as The Norwich Mercury pro-
perly obsrrve,,, is "an honourable testimony
of resp.ect for talents."

" To his Royal Highness GEORGE Prine of WALES, Re-
gent of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland.

" We, tl►e Maynt, Bailiff', end Commonalty of
the City of Oxford; feel onrselves impelled, by
every obligation of dtity and affectionate attach.",
ment, to approach at this momentous crisis the
Throne of your Royal Highness, and to express
our detettation of those turbulent and seditious
Meetings which have been held, and thoie pesti-
lent principles which are disseminated; in various
parts of the country, and which, tinder the deceit-
ftrl preteitt of effecting a tonitlintiOnal Herein*,
are manifestly intended ultimately to subvert kid
overturn the Civil Establishment, to annihilate at
once all distinctions Of rink, and the sacred right

of pioperty.
" While, hosiever; our Conviction is suA
cc-
specting those who beset the Civil Establishinent,
and who appear to Isavb no di eniii ..iiprnctised to
sour the public mind and multiply proselytes irk
behalf of a political revolution, We are led still
more deeply, if possible, to deplOre the machina-
tions of persoha who would unchristianize this
highly favoured country, by prostituting and
profaning the 'Holy Scriptures, by expoiing them
to public scorn and derision, and by denouncing
as false, the awful truths Which they contain.
" Under these fearful and alarming eircom•
stances, permit us to congratulate the country,
and to communicate to your Royal Highness most
heartily our thanks for the prompt and effica-
cious means which have been taken for the pre-
vention of those evils which Might have been the
immediate consequence of such tudiulttions and
unlawful assemblies of the people, fib also for the
prosecution and punishment of the publishers
and venders of profane and blasphemous ptiblica•

CURIOUS LOVE LETTER:--A young women bad

lived Servant St a respectable farm-house, at the
village of L--, in. Northamptonshire, whose
sweetheart was an honest rustic of the same
place, but whom cruel fate had at length destined
to move to a distant part of the county; Which,
instead of diminishing, only served to increase
their mutual regard. They were now, of course,
obliged to have resort to correspondence, but,
alas ! how was this to be carried on ? Idl pod/
Mary could not write, but it was not long before
she received a letter from William, wherein lie de-
clared the increased ardour of his love, anti hn.
plated her to marry. She was now compelled' to
have recourse to a confidential female friend to
assist her in reading the letter, and who readily
offered to write an answer; but no, Mary could
not even to her friend impart the main secret, and
declined the proffered service; yet as true love is
seldom at a loss for the means of invention, Mary
adopted the following concise Method
procured a sheet-of writing paper, with the end
of a burnt stick from off the hearth, she formed

the little top 1, and enclosed a small piece of
sheep's wool, which comprised Mary's significant
answer, " I Wool ." Her friend wrote the sn•
perscription, and the letter was sent off, post

haste ; it was as well understood, and received
with as much real pleasure as any Belits Lettre
could have been. Banns were soon after publish.
ed, and they were married with as little delay as
possible, and, it is hoped, rendered happy for
life.

'CON/17 NUATION OF

TtIE INQ(JEST A r OLDHAM.

MANCHESTER, S.fer-r. Iy. —Soon after three
o'clock yesterday llr, P.A'rrta, the 'Coroner's
Clerk, returned to Oldlia.tt according to appoint-
Meta, and stated to thv Jury imp:minded .for the
Inquest upon John Lees, that he had been to
this -town to look for a Coroner ; that he found
Mr. Milne who snit!. that he could not attend
ycStcrdii—
y or to.day, in consegnenee of other en-
gagements.; but that he would come to preside
a: tile .Inquegt oil Filday morning, if Mr. Fatreo
should not return bektre.then. Under these cir-
cumstances he, Mr. 13 , proposed to at+journi the
Inquest until Friday morittng.
Mr. IlAlityiEß pressed the propriety taking
.the depositions or the several witnesses who were
present, and who had come several milt's to at-
tend the Inquest, and that ,after those deposi.ions
were recorded, the Inquest might he tArliontned
until a Coroner should attend. This he submit-
ted would he the more convenient mode of pro-
CeCOing for the accommodation of the Jury, as
%yell as for the put posts of justice.
Battye—l cannot • submit rolhe fatigue of go-
ing *Hit° the case to-day ; I hare had no dinnei,
and 7 am engaged to .dine at seten o'clock this
("Vetting wiih n trteit,-1-ot
don't Want your o:idenee ; you might ()ring half
Manchester here; the et own has plenty of evi-
dence without your's.
Harnter—tV hat do you mean, Sir, by the
Cro‘‘ n having plenty of- evidence 1.
litttyc—l won't dits:,cr any questions ; I think
I have said enough. I will not Lear your evi-
'deuce, -

Harmer—lt is the province of the Jury, Sir, to
decide, and not that o the Coroner ; and it is
for the Joey then to detct wine with what eviden”
'they will he satisfied.
Rattye—When Mr. Farren cornes here, he
do what' he pleases; hut. I shan't take any
estitlence.

11,4r-tiler—Hare yon not before attended here
for the Cormier and taken deposi,ions ?
Jiattye—l have- taken depositions, but I have
-Hit% ays adjourned the Inquest till Mr. Farrell was
present.
liarmer—Well then, all I require of you in
this rase, is to take the depositions of the
'teases who come from a distance, whom it may
te difficult to bring r here, again, and the Jury thus
lose the benefit of their testimony.
Battye—l will adjourn the Court.
Ilartner-1 agaio request you riot to adjourn
without potting the Jury in possession of evi-
dence which they may not again be able to Ob-
tain, and which may be most material to enable
them to form a correct judgment of the cause of

the death -ot a tellor•-creature, which has evi-
dently been occasioned by violence, and upon
which they are bounil to determine.

Da'tye—What time, please,"do you propose to
occupy in your mode of 'Liquify ? Why, we may
be kept here all night:

Harmer—The evidence which I have now to
adduce would not occupy much lime. But no rinse
would be misspent in inquiring into and ascer-
taining the real cause'of such a melancholy event.
Battye—O yes; I know we are not to look to
time. Once Mr. lisarren, I remember, had'an
in-
quest for five weeks. But I did not know of your
attendsnce, or I would not have coate at all. it was
when I came here this morning, a woman came
and told me that three or four coaches had come
with a number of persons from rtlAnchester, and
some people front London. We
.supposed that
they were witnesses, and then I determined not
to go on into the case ; and nosy I tell you I
am resolved that no one shall entrap me into the
Inquest.

3,ttryman—Why not proceed with the Inquest ?
Has any thing uncommon happened since morn-
-1.)1g, that prevents you from proceeding as you in-
tended ?

liattye—Yes, something has happened which I
do not here think proper to explain.
Harmer—lt appears to me, that if you came
here prepared to take the evidence, and the Jury
now desire to hear it, it is your dirty to comply
With their desire.
Battye—lt was MT intention, when I home.,
to hear the evidence; but when I came here I
thoughtdifferentry. I heard hcre,something about
a sabre %vomit! ; but 1 heard at Rochdale that the
man died of a crush, which was neither minder
nor manslaughter, but accidental death.
Harmer—Althouo the death might be occa-
sioned by a crush, circumstances might still make
it murder.

Another Juryman expressed a desire to go into
the evidence at once.

Harmer noticed this expression, and stated that
he bad the evidence at baud ready to adduce it the
Jury desired to hear it.
Battye—The Jury all agree with me that the
Inquest should be adjourned.
Some Juryman dissented.

AJuryinan expressed a wish to know whether,
according to itiw, it was in the power of the Co-
roner to adjourn the Court against the wish of
the Jury.

Battye—l know you of old; I remember you ;
you have an enmity to me, and 1 won't answer
any of your questions. I Otiose to adjourn the
Court because 1 don't feel myself competent.
Three or tour Jurymen- expressed a wish that
the evidence should he gone into, and the Fore-
WM declared linniselt of the same opinion.
Battye, rising front his Chair, exclaimed, " I
adiourn the Court 1"

A Juryman :asked Mr. B4ttye, if be felt himself
competent to conduct the inquest when he under-
stood that the deceased came by his death thrwigh
a crush, tvhy should he feel himself incompetent
because he heard that death was the consequence
of a sabre tvound ?

liattye made no answer to this question ;
but observed, addres,ing himself to Mr. flamer,
" 1 think 1 have had trouble. enough upon this
business. I have rode fourteen miles and gone to
ntochester to oblige you—and you are not satis-
fied.—Vst you have all behaved veiy ill to me—
i don't know what you would have."
04riner—1 appeal to the Jiery, whether I have
utitl or done qny thing offensive or exceptionable.

logy. But lam sorry to be compelled to ob-
serve, that -I have witnessed a levity (If conduct
on this occasion, very unsuited • to the solemnity
01 such aninvestigntion, and extremely unbecom-
ing the consideration that is dile from common
humanity tO the death of a fellow being.
Battye—.-Things, I have no doubt will be con-
ducted differently on Friday.
Ilarmer-1 hope so. But, while I diselnim
any intention to offend you, Sir, I must call to
ree(dlection the language you used this
morning—that If Mr. Fallen were here, he would
not allow Its to be in the room.

Battyr—,-Oh ! 1 now know that you have a
right, by law, to be in the room; but you are not
cod, lea to meddle with the Inquest.
Alr. Denison expressed a wish to know the
names of the Jury ; not from any diffidence what.
ever in their integrity, but from a desire to be
ls.kired that tike sank persons should attend on
Friday.
liattye---I will not give their names.
Denison—The Jury will, I doubt -not, leave
themselves no hesitation to give their names.

Batty.--1 lo► bid thew to do so.
[The Foi email stated that his name was Jack-

SOI;.

114tlye asked, " Whit' keep you all here now ;
the. Court is adjourned do you want to fish out
(any ,111 fig 1nn."41.?'9
1-lartner—We have addressed you as a Gentle
man, and hope you will treat us in ihe same man-
ner, knowing that we are here in the pertoim-
.yee of our professional ditty, as you are your-
se!f.

Ilattye—Oh ! them tbat can't turn, can't spin.
Harmer—That is a very classical expression.
Battyt—lt's very well understood in Lunca-

•hire

Juryman—Are the Gentlerven of the Jury sa-
t 15fied lhat atijotiniment shall take place.

I not her Juryman—This is a Cormney's Inrinest,
and I think the Coroner compvent to adiotn 11 it.
Bit!ye-I do ajouin it. •
Denison requested him to record the adjourn-
ment.

Battye—Will you keep Ttestioning me here all
night I shall do as I like.

Harmer—lt is necessary, Sir, that the adjourn-
ment should he recorded, in order that we may
know when to attend, and that no investigation
may take place in our absence.
liattye—What ! do you think us so mean here ?
That's a very uno.intlemanlike observation.
Harmer-1 will not•say what I think, but I have
said nothing ungentlemanlike.
A Juryman, addressing himself to Mr. Batt- e,
observed, I must take- leave to say, Sir, that yon
have shelter' yourself very irritable upon this oc-
casion, and that you have made offensive obser-
vations to these Gentlemen, which I have heard

pain.
Bdtqe—What's that to you ; if you thought
me what you say, yln should Wait, and say so to
me in private.—The Court then broke up.

After the Court broke up at Oldham yesterday,
application was made to Mr. Battye for sum-
monses to compel she attendance of witnesses on
the adjourned Inquest, which summonses Mr. B.
promised to send by thi, morniog'S post ; but
none arriving, Mr. Denison applied for them this
day to. Mr. Mike, the Coroner here, who is to
attend to-morrow at Oldham, in the place of Mr.
Ferro, the proper Coroiler Of that district, should
the latter not arrive from, Lancaster, but was told
by Mr. Milne that there was no occasion to take
over any witnesses, as be should merely re-swear
the Jury, and then-adjourn the inquest, probably
for a fortnight.

Mr. 'Hunt being expected to arrive here this clay
at twelve o'cloc.k.,.tlit road between this and Bol-
ton was literally crowded from an early •hour in
the morning. About one o'clock Mr. .I;innt en-
tered this town in a carriage drawn by the peo-
ple. He was accompanied by Messrs.. Johnson,
Moorhouse, and the other Gentlemen indicted with•
him for the conspiracy. The carriage was pre-
ceded by a multitude of people marching six
a-breast, and passed through the principal streets
in its way to Smedley Cottage..--(Morning Chro-
nicle.) -

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Saturday afternoon
last a fatal accident took place at lidiuburch. By
the violence of a gale, which blew froth thestiuth-
west, a chimney-shaft:, on a Wooden building at
the head of Mid Common Close, Canongatc, was
throwndown,and falltng from a considerable height,
upon a two-story house behind, and a small but
adjoining, the violence of the shock brought down
the roots and floor, and part of ate walls, and bu•
tied the inmates in the ruins. By this dreadful ac-
cident two women were killed, and two others
considerably bruised. Fortunately there were no
other persons in the premises. The tipper parr of
the house destroyed formed the hack r premises of a
spirit dealer, and at the time luckily no_ one was
in it. The under part was occupied by a labourer,
whose wife was a retailer of coals, and was en;
gaged in serving a . female customer with that
article when the accident happened ; she was
