THE ARMY.

tesWday,' the Ist division of the 77th regi.
rnent arrived here to replace the 91st, who are
under orders to proceed to Jamaka.—(Glusgoro
Coarier, Nov. 3.)

Yesterday the Royal Mid Lothian yeomanry
cavalry were 'inspected oti Portobello,, Sands, by
their commanding Officer; Major Sir John Hope,.
The regiment did tint muster strong, there being
only about 25'0 present. The men looked ex-
tremely well, and the horses and appointments,
were in excellent order.• It was expected that
Viscount Melville would have reviewed the re-
giment, but his Lordship set off for London early
in the week.—The Magistrates, we understand,
have granted a portion of ground, the west side
of the Little Mound, to the Edinburgh troop of
yeomanry cavalry, for the purpose of erecting a,
riding-house and stables for 'the !accommodation
of 70 or 80 horses. This will be of very great'
utility to the service,—;-( Edinburzh Colvant,
Nov. 3.)

The Birmingham Mercury says A para-
graph has lately passed through the London Pa-
pers, purporting that the iron trade, in Stafford-
shire, is in a state of prosperity, and that the work-
men were all fully employed. A Correspondent
whom we can depend upon has favoured us with a
list of the following-extensive iron-works,which are
actually standing for want of work, though situated
in the
.heart of the iron trade :—Bradley Upper
Mill, and Forge; the Level Mili,and Forge; Tip-
ton Old Church Works ; Great Bridge orks ;
and the Coseley Works. Our Correspondent also
assures ug, that many other works are only kept
going at a very serious loss ; and so far from th.ca
workmen being fully employed, their employers,
in a variety of instances, are at this moment trk.ng
advantage of the number of unemployed work-
men in the neighbourhood, to compel their men
to submit to further reduction of wages."

A tempest of wind and rain of great violence,
but of short duration, visited the Metropolis on
Saturday evening. It came on about half-past
nine, and continued for three quarters of an
hour, and in that short space of time, the streets
eastward of London, from the stoppage of the
sewers, were almost impassable. In Wapping,
Rotherhithe, &c. the water in the lower apart,
merits was above two feet in depth. Sunday was
also very stormy, and much damage was done on
the river amongst the small craft ; two, with oats,
were driven on shore below Deptford,

DARING OUTRAQV.—Friday night, about eight
o'clock, the neighbourhood of Fashion street,
Spite!fields, was thrown into the greatest tumult
and confusion. A formidable gang of ruffians
with which the above parish abounds, and whose
depredations are of the most daring and atrocious
description, gave notice to the stations of the
different fire engines, that an alarming fire had
broken out at a varnish manufactory iu Vashione
street, and that tho whole neighbourhood was
threatened with destruction. The engines were
speedily got ready, and on their arrival they disr
covered it to be a false alarm. The street was
completely blocked up by spectators from one end
to the other, amongst whom were upwards of 40 of
the most notorious thieves, who had invented the
stratagem for the purposes of depredation and
plunder. The villains commenced a most d-eter-
mined attack on the assembled mob, pelting
them with brickbats, stones, and other missiles.
Many persons were knocked down and received
several cuts and severe contusions. Information
was given at the Police Office, Worship-street,
of the affair, and a large body of officers repaired
to the scene of action ; but before they could
arrive the ruffians got scent, and most of them
sheered off. The officers', however, 'Succeeded in
apprehending two of the ring-leaders, each of,
whom had a brickbat in his'hand ready-to cast
it amongst the mob, They yesterday underwent
a final examination before the Magistrates; and
were recognised to be Bill Bingley, of pickpocket
notoriety, and George Neal, a noted craciksman.
Thei were both committed under the Polide
Act for three months to the House of Correction.
The officers are in vigilant search for the remain-
der of this gang.

The village' of llighgate has of late become
the scene a frequent and daring burglaries. On
Saturday night the house of Mr. POWNALL, of
that place,`, was broken into, and property stolen,
consisting of plate, linen, and wearing apparel,
with which the robbers
.escaped. It is believed
that a gang of notorious villains reside at or near
this village, which it behoves the Police to en-
deavour to discover and tiring to justice. The
most likely means of effecting this would be the
stationing a band of Officers there for some time,
to watch the suspicious haunts of the idle and
dissolute characters who infest this vicinity of the
metropolis.

THE LONDON TOURNALS.

PALLY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING. PAPERS,

Novembei• 6.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.] •
ABrazil.packet arrived yesterday, with letters
to. the 27th August, from .Rio Janeiro; but. as
ibe.subsequently touched at Bahia and Pernam-
buco,. which latter place she left on the 24th
September, the advices
.brought by her from
the Brazilian capital have been anticipated- by
previous arrivals both in this country and at
Lisbon. She has, however, furnished us • with
some new particulars relating to the Pacific. The
American ship Brown had arrived at Rio Janeiro,
from Callao, in 39 days, haViUg, several Spanish
passengers on board, and among them General
Vezuela, late Viceroy of Peru. The Brown con-
middle
of y must have left Callao about the
of
,July, at Which time the Owen Glendower was
there, and -appointed brSir Thos.. Hardy to sail for
Chili, a bout the end of the mouth, and to quitVa I pa-
-raiso at the.end of September, to come round Cape
limn. The armistice, which was signed on the
23d May,. between Generals Laserna and San
Martin: for 20 days, expired at the period fixed
upon, and does not appear.to have been renewed.
No mention is however made of any subsequent
movements by the respective armies, or any fresh
occurrence of moment, although it is remarked
that the city bf Lima was in a very distressed
state, chiefly owing to the want of the usual sup-
from the interior. We deem it necessary
to add, that no letters from Lima direct have
been received by this opportunity, the above
being chiefly derived from the reportS and letters
of the-passengers, who had arrived at Rio Ja-
neiro. The Brown is an American vessel, and
bound to .New York, and the letters of the mer-
chants in Lima,.connected with this country, were
put on board the American frigate Macedonian,
which accounts for the circumstance .of no letters
having been received. •

[NEW TIMES.]
The CS recent advices °Utile highest authority"
which the Morning Chronicle quoted in support
of its notion of an inevitable war between Russia
and Turkey, were so unfortunate as to be
laughed at in the City. Notwithstanding the
opinion of the " Gentleman Who left the Russian
Capital sixteen days ago,"- the Gentlemen who
came from Kent and Essex stuck to - their own
opinions ; and the funds were so little intluenCed
by the depressing tone of our Cotemporary's de-
clamations, that they actually left off from an
eighth to a quarter better than they opened.
The appointment of an Ambassador to succeed
Baron Strogonoff at Constantinople is not yet
confirmed, but private letters anticipate the event
as prolfable, and we hope it will, ere long,
receive .an 'official confirmation.—Much greater,
ifut at the same time more painful interest was
excited in the City by the news from Pernam-
buco, a place where many Englishmen of respec-
tability are at present stationed, on commercial
speculations in the cotton trade, and -other con-
cerns .of a like natUre..• It would seem- by the
last advices, that all these Gentlemen are obliged
to take up arms for the defence of the place.
It does not very clearly appear what were the
political objects of the party that attacked
Pernambuco, but the prevalent surmise is, that
the if object was- to separate Brazil entirely
from Portugal, and to add one more to the
list of Independent States. Whatever was
their plan, they seem hitherto to have been
foiled ; but 'we, should not be surprised to
learn by the next arrivals, that a new Brazilian
Empire had started up, which in due time would,
of course, convert itself into a republic; and
every new change would, in all probability, be
attended with fresh alayms and inconveniences
to the commercial world.., Let us., however, hope
that nations will in time 'grow wise from dear
bought experience; and if so, whatever changes
they may make in the exterior form of their Go-
vernment, they will at least endeavour to prevent
those internal convulsions which have been so
fatal in most modern revolutions.

[Tile TIMES.I
We have the National Intelligencer of October
10, which notices, and in a somewhat curious
way, the late violence exercised upon Colonel
Callava, at Pensacola. . For, the real sentiments
of the official paper or its pitrons, we must not
look to the paragraphs which seem to express
them. All is hypothesis and obscurity : but
from the tone - of the oracle, it is easy to compre-
hend how much the priestess feels disposed to
Jacksonize, if she were able. If the American
General be invested, as it is said, with the full
powers which had been hitherto enjoyed by
Spanish Governors, it is very possible that he
may not hare exceeded such powers, by the
infliction of imprisonment, however -arbitrary ;
not, in‘ced, thougli he had cut off Cal•
lava's head, in the place of consigning him
to a dungeon. But if that be the case, it will
uecessarily become a serious question for Con-
gress to consider, whether such despotic autho-
rity, liable to an' exercise so harsh and wanton,
ought to be delegated even for an hour to the
subordinate officers of a free people.—The
Quebec Gazette furnishes a remarkable, illustra-
tion of the combined effect of the British naviga-
tion and corn laws on the commercial interests of
Canada, so far as relates to the Canadian trade
in corn. We not long since represented the
grifivance inflicted on Canada by the' exclusion
from this country of wheat, the growth of that
colony, when the average price of wheat in
Great Britaiu fell below 67 shillings. The
.gravamen in the present case is this—that
although the price of wheat in New York has
been lately ss. 6d. per bushel, and might be
exported thither from Canada, after paying all
expences, at 4s. 6d. per bushel, the navigation
laws step in to produce the same exclusion
from the port of New York that the corn laws
have effected with regard to England, and thus,
from the mischiefs of this double mechanism,
the surplus produce of Canada, amounting, for
the two last years, to the estimated quantity of
1)000)000 bushels of wheat, has lain wasting in

the graijaries'of the Canadian grower. The mis-
chief is no other than-adirect tax upon produc•

tion, the;, eventual ruin of every country upon
which it continues to he irnposed.--=A subsequent
paragraph in the same paper throws the present
state of our fisheries in the Gulf of St. Lawrenqe

into the same point of view in which they have
long appeared to the whole world, except to the
British Cabinet. •

[BRITISH
,PRESS.
The Paris Papers of Thursday last present
nothing to confirm the intelligence which we no-
ticed yesterday respecting the appointment of a
new Ambassador from the Court of St. Peters-
burgh to the Porte. We find it, however,
asserted in an article from Frankfort, which
appears. in The Moniteur, that private letters
from Vienna positively declare that there
will be no war between Russia and Turkey.
The war still continues in Greece between the
Patriots and the Turkish troops, and. rumours
coming through various channels attribute suc-
cesses of a decisive chm:acter to the Grecian arms

but we can find nothing authentic to justify a
belief in these statements as implicit as it would
be welcome. The naval operations of the rival
Powers are involved in equal obscurity. It is
surprising how much one account of any transac-
tion upon either side differs from another, and
how many versions of the circumstance find their
way into print. This diversity of narrative,
aided by the casual confusion of dates, ^multi-
plies to .a wonderful extent the actions of

the opposing •fieets, and gives to the Comman-
ders a shew of energy, zeal, and valour, which
they are far from meriting. The latest accounts
received at Vienna from the lonian Islands anti-
cipated an immediate engagement between the
Turks and the Greeks, for the fleets of the Ca-
pitan Bey and of Ismael Gibraltar had formed a
junction at the mouth of the Adriatic Gulf, and
the Grecian fleet was approaching them as if in
pursuit.

[MORNING POST.]
The French Papers to the 2d instant, whicl
arrived yesterday, do not confirm the statement
which reached town last Saturday, that Russia
had appointed a new Ambassador to Constan-
tinople. They are, in fact, silent on the sub-
ject of the negociations between the two Empires,
but communicate a few particulars respect-
ing the operations of the Turks, which are rather
of a gratifying character. The Ottoman Iket, it
appears, had landed troops to act against the
Greaks in the Morea, but instead of being able
to defeat the Insurgents, they had been com-
pelled to quit the field and to take refuge in the
fortregses which still remained in the possession
of. Turkish 'Comnianders. This fact spews at
once that tlie Moreans are not in the divided
state; in which Austrian accounts bad hitherto
represented them to be,
.and that the means em-
ployed by the Porte to put down the cause of
independence in Greece are not equal to their
intended eild. Whether they can be augmented so
as to prove ultimately effective is a- contingency
which must almost entirely depend on. the.ksue of
the negociations with Russia. Meanwhile tinie is;
gained; the Greek insurt'ectiiin spreadsithe Greek:
soldiers acquire discipline and confidence ;-order.
is established among the' cities, and a: regular
form of Government is organised' which gives,
consolidation to the whole. Much alarm had
been excited among the Greek and. Armenian
Christians at Constantinople by a firman which
commanded them to remove from their houses
all persons belonging to a different church,
or to any other European nation. They con-
ceived that this measure was the forerunner of
fresh massacres, in which the subjects of friendly
Powers were alone to be respected. The city
was filled with Asiatic troops, who were thought
to wait only for a signal to begin the work of
plunder and assassination. These papers contain
but little intelligence from Spain. At Barcelona
the number of new cases diminished,, but that
of deaths increased. Hopes were entertain.,
ed that the French Physician, Mons.Mazet, who
was said to have fallen a victim to his heroic at-
tendance on the sick, still survived. lle had
reached the eighth day of his illness, a period
which was only attained by those who ultimately
recovered. Another Prelate has paid in France
the debt of nature. It is the Bishop of Evreux,
who died on the 30th ult. at the advanced age
1 of 91.

[MORNING HERALD.]

Among the extracts from the last French Pa
pers, there are some articles of intelligence from
the principal sources of Greek news. It would
be idle to found
,any inference upon statements
of such dubious credit. Of all diplomatic pro-
ceedings the present are those of which least is
known. In former negociations there. were undis-
guised adverse parties, alternately appealing to
European opinion, by the publication of State Pa-
pers, and these were authoritative guides for the
popular judgment ; but the present is an amicable
professed arrangement, in which there are ❑o re-
cognized adverse interests in cOnilict, and-it -is
likely that no publication of the official docu-
ments will take place before an absolute rupture
or a complete settlement of differences' shall have
taken place. The most ad`visable mode of treat-
ing these articles of intelligence, or speculation,
is to bring their substance under the eye of the
reader, premising only that we suspect the termi-
nation of the affairs of Russia, Turkey,and Greece,
is still at some distance,-and that Russia will at
length be forced to yield to the decided wishes of
the nations of Europe, for the continuance of
peace. An article from Frankfort states with
some confidence, and not without probability,
that a Congress, not of Sovereigns, but of Mi-
nisters, will take place at Hanover. According
to this: account, Lord Londonderry remains at
Hanover after the departure of his 'Majesty, and
Count Lieven, the Russian Ambassador, now
absent from London, was .to join the Noble
Marquis and Prince Metternich the Con-
gress to be completed by the further addi-
tion of Count Bernstoff and prince Harden-
berg, Prussian Ministers, and Mr. Gordon.
the locum tenens of Lord Stewart at.Vientia,
The latter is said to have left Vienna. for
'Hanover, in consequence of a despatch from
Lord Londonderry.--7;There is a curious and cha-

racteristic accotint of Ali I'ac6., xlated from the
'frontiers of Italy. It appears thit the crafty ve-
iteran inveigled the Turkish Pacha into a•nego-
ciatio.n, and after.a truce of considerable length,
persuaded his adversary to send propositious of
.submission, on certain terms, from lain to the
Porte. These were sent to Coustantinople,by
the Ex-Vizier Churchild, with his advice to the
Divan to:accePt them.—The reply was a severe
rebUke to him for treating with a rebel, and a
peremptory order to resume instant hostilities.—
Ali, however, pending the negOciations, contrived
to obtain fresh supplies of food and munitions, and
to form- a league of close co-operation with the
Suliotes. Some reinforcements reach th'e Turks,
and a relentless contest was expected to com-
mence immediately. The only fact respecting
the Morea—and even of 'that some doubt maybe
entertainedis, that the Turkish Commander
failed in his attempt to enter it by the Gulph of
Corinth, which was bravely and successfully de-
fended by the Greeks.

PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

[From. The (Dublin) Correspondent of Nov. 2.]

STATE OF THE COUNTY OF LIMERICK.

The intelligence contained in the Limerick Chronicle of las!
Wednesday, principally refers to the riotous assemblage of aboui
200 persons, at Six-3111e-Bridge, of which it gives a more de•
tailed account than the statement which we published yester•

day. The Ennis Chronicle adverts to the same transaction,
and states, that, only one of the rioters had been killed, though
the Limerick Chronicle mentions that two of them had fallen.
We conceive that the 'statements of the two Newspapers' rest
entirely on eonjkiure, as a diligent search had been made by the
Police on the subsequent day without the discovery of
any circumstance which would warrant either of the reports.
The death, or the escape, however, of any of the rioters, is not
the principal point which demands our attention, because we
should rather look to the facility with which so numerous a
banditti had been dispersed by a small body of the Police, as a

proof of the efficacy of the Civil Power, when properly directed.
From the same source, we give a circumstantial account of the
attack, formerly mentioned in " The Correspondent," on the
Herdsman of Mr. Sheehy. The rest of the intelligence details
the arrival of an additional military force, for the purpose of
effectually securing the public peace. As no new outrage ap-
pears to have been committed, so satisfactory a circumstance
clearly proves that the precautions/ which have been taken
by the Government for the security of life and property, arc
sufficient to attain so desirable an object, while the accumula-
tion of so great a military force in the disturbed districts will
enable the Magistrates to search, with every probability of suc-
cess, for the fire-arms, which a part of the peasantry possess.
That, certainly, will be the paramount object of their anxiety,
because until the tumultuary portion of the peasantry shall be
disarmed, there can be but little hope of personal safety, if the
military power should be withdrawn, or if the property of the
industrious part of the community were left to the protection
Merely of the Civil Authority, There are two classes of the
banditti—namely, those who have committed crimes, which cry
aloud for the avenging arm of justice, and those who havebeen
misled b y the pernicious counsels oftheir more guilty Associates to
join in an illegal combination ; but who havenot as yet imbrued
their hands in blood. A marked distinction ought to be made be-
tween the two classes, because the latter are objects rather of
pity thaii dpiirisliment, as their ignorance has been the cause
of their seduction, while the former cannot expect any mercy,
after having shewn that there can be no safety for any Society
in 'which they should be suffered to live. In such a feeling we
would suggest that a pardon should be granted to every per-
son who would voluntarily surrender the fire-arms that had
been obtained by plunder ; provided, such person had not been
a murderer, or had not been present at any murder. There is
nothing in the association which binds some of the peasantry to
each other, but the ordinary brotherhood of robbers and mur-
derers;
,and therefore, there is every reason to hope, that such
a discrimination in the degree of the guilt of the Conspirators,
with the offer of an amnesty in respect to one part of the un-
fortunate wretches, and the rigorous enforcement of the laws.
with respect to the more criminal/ would dissolve the bond of
union, and restore peace and security to the county, on a per-
manent basis.

MATRIMONIAL. LOTTERY.—Yesterday, accord
ing to custom, on. the sth of November, under
the. Will of MT. RAINE, forMerly a brewer in
Wapping, six: maidens educated in his, hospital
in Fawden-fields, Wapping, met at the trea-
surer's house, to draw lots, under -the will of the
founder, for a prize of 1001. as a marriage por-
tion. The husband of the successful, candidate
Must, by the rules, be a mechanic belonging to
the parishes of St. John, Wapping, St. George's
in the East, 'or St. Paul, Shadwell ; he must not
be a sairor, soldier, or waterman ; and he must
have testimonials of a good character. The young
woman must have attained the age of 21, and
have lived three years in one place as a hired ser-
vant, with strict propriety.
WEDDING EXTRAORDINARY.—A wedding took
place last week at a city not quite thirty miles
from Cheltenham, attended with the following
singular circumstances :—The happy day had ac-
tually arrived before the bridegroom bethought
hithself of providing the ring :—when, lo! it was
discovered, Illat frOm, the delicate size of his
woßld be __no easy task to
•
procure one : every jeweller's shop was ransack-
ed—but in vain! none would fit her. At length,
one artist,-more considerate than the rest, hit on
the device of beating out- " a magiC circle of
gold" to a due circumference. This- difficulty
surmounted, and time flying too swiftly for such
chill delay—they repaired to the church, but, lo !
no clergymen was there, and the hour of twelve
was fast approaching. Their patience, however,
was not put to any long tantalizing test, and
the ceremony was concluded at five, minutes
before twOve ! Their suspense thus turned to
joy—and their thoughts all happiness—another
vexation awaited - the gentle bride ; as they . re-
turned from the church, a group of noisy and
giddy urchins, " just let loose froth school,;'
rushed past her, and literally spattered the
bridal "garments from head to foot with mud.
But this—the last and least of their suffering, was
soon forgot, in the "-sober certainty of waking
bliss."—(Cheltenham Chronicle)
A REMARKABLE 0 CCURRENCE.-011 Tuesday
last two beautiful little birds, kingfishers, were
caught in the neighbourhood of Alresford by a
boy, who, it appears, secured them in the-act of
fighting, and while they were so intent on their en-
gagement, that they did not perceive his approach.
