INSURGENT PRIVATRERS.-Extract of a letter
from Bilboa, dated Aug. 17':—" We hailed with
much satisfaction the ,irrival of the Matta frigate;
no sooner had she appeared, than the insurgent
privateers, which previously infested our coast,
disappeared, to the great joy of the inhabitants.
By the latest advices also from Cadiz, we learn
that two or three English ships of war are off that
coast, no doubt for the purpose of preserving
some little respect for legitimate flags. Such is
the present state of Spain—a nation that once
meditated an invasion of Great Britain is now glad
even of nominal protection front two or three of
her frigates."

MIDDLESEX SEESIONS, CLERKENWELL.-This
morning the business of these Sessions was re-
sinned at an early hour ; the whole time of the
Court was, however, occupied in hearing and de-
ciEiing on the various Parochial Appeals which,
from the lengtheried vacation, have much accu-
milated : so much so, that the Learned CHAIRMAN
was induced to adjourn the Hearings on the dif-
ferent Appeals from Convictions on Informations,
&c. to this day week ; in the decisions on sonic of
which, it is said, are involved questions of great
legal impottance. The Court was extremely
crowded, and there was a very full Bench of
Magistrates.

On Sunday afternoon, the cries of a boy on
board a vessel lying in the Tyne arrested the at-
tention of sonic persons on the North Shorr, near
to Dent's Hole. They perceived a man beating the
youth severely with a rope; and notwithstanding
repeated calls for him to desist, he continued his
unmerciful flagellation for some time, until
the public became so exasperated, that they
threw a shower of stones on board. As soon
As the boy got from his castigator, the people
called to him to come on shore, which he imme-
diately dist in the ship's Loaf . lii was .a most pi-
tious spectacle ; his eyes, neck, and shoulders were
much swollen from the effects of the rope, and
his hands completely lacera►ed. The account he
gave was, that the ship belonged to Exmouth ;
that he was a parish-bound apprentice, and had
been cruelly used ever since he went to sea ; that
his present flogging was owing to his having
taken an apple belonging to one of the men,which
he was impelled to do from hunger, not having
tasted food that day. This account made such an
impression on the feelings of the persons assem-
bled, that they immediately stove tlte•ship's boat,
and made a subscription for the present support
of the poor boy, who declared he would never
more set font on board the vessel.—(Tyne Mer-
cury, Sept. 8 )
A labouring. man,,named T. Evison, of Frisk -

lie had them when an infant in the natural way,
was then very bad, blind three weeks, and re-
tained the marks of them in several parts of the
face. He has them this time of a very fine kind, •
but has been very full.

A remarkable instance of mortality 'has occur-
red in a family at Chepstow.—Mrs. Williams,
wife of Mr. J. Williams, a tailor, died suddenly
in the latter part of April last ; her husband sur-
Nived her about nine weeks afterwards ; since
.which period, three grown-up sops of the above
have paid the debt of unsure.

POtTRY.

THE EXCLAMATION.

Unhappy be whose pensive reed still rues

The cruel sway of unrelenting fate;
Wit", when soft scenes of happiness he view:,
Can but compare them with his hapless state.

To whom informing Nature did impart
The gifts the gentle Muses Held the first,
A glowing fancy, and a feeling heart,
But gifts in adverse fortune, how accurst !

To faithful love who well could tune his voice,
lint where the sympathizing fair attend ?
Whose lovely bosom pants to make a choice,
To friendship sacred, yet can meet no friend.
