SMITHFIELD, Nov. 16.

Our Market of this day was well supplied with all kinds of
prime Cattle. Mel was cheaper; Mnttuo, though a good
supply, dearer; Polk the saute as last week; and Veal dearer.
'there was not much business doing in the Hay-market this
morning, but all sales of the inferior sort of that article were
cheaper ; Clover has mot up in price, and sales brisk; Straw
has dropped in price since Friday. 'The annexed is a correct

"The Mitiviito sloop of War sails Ni-morrow for t ngland :
she is c:iarged with dispatches front Hudson Lowe, re-
lantig, it IS understood, to au intercepted cOrrespoadence,
which has, discovered the existent., of a plot, the object of
which was the liberation of Buonaparte from this island. I
forbear to mention the names currently circulated het e, of
those who are said to be implicated in this transaction ; a
hanker's house in London, however, :Ind two individualS
in England, with others on the Continent, it is rumoured,
are concerned. DetectiOn of the plot was producA by the
cirenmStance, tt is sail, of many letters, addressed to a
p"rson (the name of which nb individual is to he fount here),
Vying nncalled for at tlie post-office. Buonaparte is in very
good health ; he still, however, abstains from exercise, con-
fining himself wholly within d2ors. The reason assigned at
Longwood for the departure hence of General Gourgaud, is a
quarrel between him and General Montholon. Gourgaud
had been -challenged by the latter, but Buonaparte forbidding
them to fight, Gourgaud quitted. It is confidently said Buo-
naparte has recently obtained the sum of 15,0001. in dollars;
through What means this weighty loa could have been carried
clandestinely to Longwood, is still a matter of surprise. The
discorery of the' plot has already brought to light where the
whole of Buonaparte's treasure is deposited. Bertrand some
time since asserted he could at any time command a million
sterling. Of the three Commissioners, one only remains on
the island ; those of Russia and Austria are gome to Rio, to
take up their abode some time. Buonaparte will not admit
eitlker one of them to his presence ; the Austrian Commis-
sioner, Baron.tke Sturmer, who returned some weeks since
to his Court, did not, duririi the long period he remained on
the island, once see Buonaparte.

" This island is not healthy for a continued residence ; it
is for many hours, every day, covered with vapours and dense
fags, and it does not yield a sixth part of sufficient vegetable
substances for the use of the troops and seamen. The inha-
bitants are wholly excluded from all means of livelihood ; do
ships are allowed to remain here longer than, is absolutely ne-
cessary; all supplies come from the Cape, but they are very
scanty, and what fresh meat is afforded from this channel is
wholly engrossed by the troops ; the ships never get a meal
of it; and during the last five months they have had only
one third bread, no cocoa, and no pease; the deficiency is
wholly made op of rice. Disentery, consequently, prevails
mach ; and all the vessels have lost many men ; the Mos-
quito has lost about twenty-three in three months, and the
Conqueror has scarcely seamen enough on board to work the
ship. But notwithstanding this weak state the squadron has
furnished 300 men to assist in' building a new house for Boo-
naparte, of the most capacious dimensions. The seamen,
after the day's work is over, are marched to another part of
the island, to be encamped for the night. Every ship fur-
nishei guard-boats, which row round the island, and, as they
approach the various points, are always challenged by the
sentinels. A short time since, one of the sloops of war, in
working to windward of the island, discovered two men in a
cave on the shore; she accordingly sent a boat, and brought
off two Yamstock (native) Negroes, who hail been fishing ;
and who, it appeared, used to get to the beach from the top of
the Cliff by a secret but dangerous path. A new battery was
consequently immediwely erected, and it was by this unknown
outlet, it is said, that the Great Man was to be carried off.
We ate constantly amused with stories of schooners hovering
off the island ; the cruisers certainly sometimes see such, but
never board them. A 1 ransport from the Cape lately passed one
close, lying to, to windward, about 80 miles from the Island,
which took no notice of her; she might, however, have been
slaying, or looking nut for Spanish or Portuguese Imliamen
she was a large long schooner of IR guns, and apparently
full of men. The troops here are more healthy than the sea-
men are ; many casualties, however, occur among the farmer—
several sentinels have been lost by falling over the cliffs."—

A Gentleman arrived iq London from Senegal,
which place he left on the llth September, brings
some intelligeNee respecting the expedition now
exploring the intetior of Africa. Mr. ADRIAN
PARTARREAU, a native of Senegal, attached to
the expedition under Major GRAY, had arrived
there tram Gaylam, which• they hail reached after
ahont seven weeks' journey from Cayai, with the
lo's of Mr. BURTON, late an officer of the Royal
African Corps, and one soldier. They were at the
finite of his leaving all well, but in want of provi
sinus. The Major and some of his party were to con-
tinue at Gaylain till the end of the rains. Dr.
DOCKHARDT had proceeded for Lego, to prepare
for !he embarkation of Major GRAY on the Niger.
A supply of provisions had been forwarded to
Major GRAY.

Where an assemblage of talent and experience
is concentrated in one line of practice, a success
must futend their application, not to be found
elsewhere. This has been evinced in the Esta-
blishment ot the Medical Board at Charlotte-

cures are every day perfOrtned in cases which
have baffled the skill ot eminent professors, and
excited their astonishment.

MENDICh '''OCIEIY.

FOR THE SUN.

Ma. EDITOR,—The Poor's Rates are now said
to ~mount to 8 millions, which is general.), con-
sidered as the gauge, or measure, of P.,operism
or Mendicily ; but such an infi Fence is surely
erroneous, when we recollect the sums paid out
ot the Poor's Rates tor lave expcnces, !nr parish
dinners, fur wasteful expenditure, &e., and
we shall tiering), he nearer the truth, if w, take
halt the s•'tti, or 4 millions, as the measure of
111thvoithhle Pannerism.

It this be correct, or if it approaches near to
the ti nth, it is evident that a great saving migirt
b 2 made in the annual rates, the acconip!is!finent
of which, in a great measure, depends upon our-
selves. Let the °indent and the independent in
each parish attend more to the vestries. Let
people of respec'tability assonle the various parish
offices, with a firm determination to attend to all
the minotiat connected with their duty. Let the
,vnrkhouses in each parish be tinder the examina-
tion and controul of respectable Committees, so
as, by enforcing work, to deter the idle from seek-
ing parish relief, and to diminish expence by
creased earnings, classing the paupers and em-
ploying them agreeable to their powers.
Above all, let every encouragement be given
to the system of Cottaging, in preference to as-
sembling half a parish in a workhouse.
Let a Bill be passed, enabling parishes to.
raise Money for the building of cottages of various
sizes, With gardens, piggeries, &c. on the verges
of wastes and commons ; and let these cottages
be occupied by military or naval pensioners. Let
a clause be added, to the Bill, enabling the pen-
sioner to sell half ,his.pension to Gervernment, On
a general plan of calculation, the sum paid fur
which shall go to the parish in payment for the
cottage. By this arrangement, the nation would
to e nothing: for even should the purchase of the
pension cost more than the sum saved, yet the
improved industry,
.and saving in poor's- rates,,
would be more- than a counterbalance.
let all the boats now rotting in the dock-yards, or
such part_ of them as can be spared, be sent to
the different out-ports, in proportion to the size
of each, to be tinder the care of the Collectors
of Customs, and lent to such seamen as may wish
to employ themselves in fishing. If old canvas
amid twine, with Oars, &c. are sent with them, the
expence will be nothing in the account of old stores.
I have been particularly led to these observations
by the recent :Report of the Mendieity Society in
Red Liou-square, founded upon the most rational
principles, and wider the most exalted patronage
Report which, added to the very apparent
clearance of the streets from mendicants, cannot
tail to convince every thinking person of the
propriety of extending support tosuch 2 very useful
institution. In tact, it deserves a Charter; and if
a Bill were to pass, granting it Sixpence in the
Pound upon the Poor's Rates of the Metropolis,
its effects would speedily be more apparent; for
if• beggars were obce removed from the public
streets, pauperism, being less openly exposed,
would soon become more disgraceful in the eyes
of •the lower classes, and the expellees of the,
Poor's Rates would naturally -diminish. At pre-
sent, it is highly important that 'every person
should aid its endeavours by purchasing tickets
for the supply of such beggars as Appear in the
streets. It isditflcult to pass a poor object, or a poor
looking object, without affording some relief, and
it is easier to give a halfpvany than togive a ticket
which would cost 2d ; but the expellees of one
week in casual-charities would purchase two •or
three dozen of the Society's tickets, and save the
purchaser from all further expence in that way;
for if every one were to offer tickets to beggars
instead of money, the real objects would meet
with speedy and permanent relief, whilst impos-
tors would leave off a calling at present too lucra-
tive. If a street beggar gets one halfpenny each
from 200 passengers in It crowded tivoroughfare,
Iris day's receipt is Ss. 4,1. with which he can
often retire at an early hour to enjoy himself in
idleness and luxury, whilst the poor industrious
mechanic labours hard for one guinea per week!
This evil ought to be stopped ; and can alone
be done on the principles of the Mcodicity So-
ciety, as the most humane twiy reconcile to their
own consciences the refusal of pecuniary relief,
when they can offer a ticket instead that will
operate always as it. relief to a poor or a touchstone
for the idle.

IGNOTUS.

*,* ‘Ve subjoin the following account of the
Institution alluded to, which we fed much plea-
sure in tindtng is supported by some of the most
distinguished characters in the country, at the
head of whom is his Royal Highness the Duke of
YORK as PATRON :

" The plan of this Institution is the issue of
printed tickets for distribution to Street Beggars,
which tickets refer them to the Society's house,
where they are immediately supplied with food,
and a statement of the case •of each registered.--
The truth of this statement is afterwards ascer.
tained by Personal Investigation and Enquiry,
and the case is then disposed of according to cir-
cutrst [loco.

" The Board •of Management have reason to
believe that the Society has already done much
good.—They have had the heartfelt satisfaction
of rescuing many really deserving objects from►
wretchedness and misery, whilst at the same time
they have exposed and brought to justice a con-
siderable number of daring impostors, who infest-
ed and disgraced the streets of the Metropolis, and
who were living in habits of drunkenness and riot
with the stuns daily bestowed upon them front a
mistaken humanity. They again entreat the public
t,► assist their endeavours by purchasing and (Its...
tributing their tickets, and discontinuing altoge-
ther the present impolitic practice of indiscrimare
almsgiving. If this ohjeci were once attained,
the s; Indy beggar would be compelled to work, as
the most artful impositire could he of no
the employmemt of children in begging (one great
C [lse ut juvenile crime) would he terwinated,—the
indecent exposures in-our !while street• would dis-
appear,—the most revolting features of the pre.
siAtt system would gradually recede,—iNiendicity
would eventually cease,—and lie wretchedness,
indolence, and vice of numerous class of our
fellow-creatures might in the course of time give
place to habits of iudustry and virtue."._
