Yesterday evening, about four "clock, the Isa-
bella, Captain Itoss, and the Alexander, Lieu-
tenant PARRY, arrived at Deptford. All the per-
sons belonging to these two vessels are well in
health ; but our Correspondent, who saw them at
the time they sailed, informs us that there is a
great alteration for the worse, in the looks of the
men and officers. The wonderful Esquintaux
has conic back in the Isabella. He is in good
health and spirits ; and, on his arrival, he shook
hands very cordially with several of his old ac-
quaintances, who went on board of the ship
(Herald.)
The following article, which we have taken
from a -Belfast Paper, is an illustration of the hut!
Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY'S Penal Theory, which,
though founded in that benevolence that was
so prominent a part of his estimable character,
does not seem to be practically efficacious :
" Bleach-green robberies continue to be perpe-
trated in the most daring manner. On the night
of Monday last the drying loft of Messrs. APCance
and Stouppe, at Suffolk, near this town,was broken
into and robbed of six pieces of 5-4th sheeting
and three pieces of 44th yard-wide linen, Lull
finished.—An advertisement offered a reward of
tiny pounds for the discovery of the offenders.—
The frequency of similar depredations of late has
induced many persons to change their opinions
respecting the propriety of the alteration which
was made in the law, substituting transportation
in place of a capital punishment for this climt:.
The change was made principally on the recom-
mendation of linen bleachers themselves, who
conceived that the certainty of the punishment of
transportation, would operate more powetfully in
deterring offenders ; and also by removing from
the breast of prosecutors those feelings of com-
passion which were ap to prevail when the law
entailed the penalty of death as the consequence
of conviction."

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.-The fol:owing
cir-
cumstsncc is of such a peculiar description as to
' render its coincidence not Unworthy of notice :
A Tobin, during the late mild wea,her, was seen
to hover and alight constantly near the Trafalgar,
a new ship of 106 guns, 1)101(14; in the Dock-
yard at Chatham, to commemonte the glorious
defeat of our enemies by the heroic and lamented
NELSON. Curiosity was excited by this frequency
of the bird's visits, when it was discovered that
she had formed a nest iu the slip, and had nearly
completed her labours. The notions of the bird
were purposely observed, and on the morning of
the 21st of lest month, the anniversary of the
victory, she laid her first egc, and subsequently
five others. The singularit► of the event, and
►he lateness of the year, caused much curiosity.
By some careless accident tie nest, with the eggs,
was destroyed, but the sittution is preserved, stir
pointed out to all.
DREADFUL FIRE.—Las night, about a quarter
past ten o'clock, the inhabitants of Cornhill were thrown
into a state of consternation ind anxiety by the cries of
" Fire !'"l'heir fears, howeve; were shortly after augmented
by perceiving an alarming hory of dame issuing from the
premises of Mr. Carroll, Lonny-Office-keeper, No. 7, Corn-
hill. The dames continued tr rage with such violence as to
threaten the destruction of he adjoining houses before a
sufficient space of time had eapsed for the engines to arrive,
during which time it had couniunicated to the premises of
Messrs. Smiths and Co. cuters, in Lombard-street, which
are situated immediately behind those of Mr. Carrot, as also
to the Offices adjoining it o Cornhill, which are those of Mr.
Martin and the Globe Insurinee Office, the latter of which is
undergoing alterations andenlargetnents, the necessary scaf-
folding for which purpose rad caught fire just as the engines
began to arrive. At this Period the fire had a most alarming
appearance, as it was raing both in Lombard-street and
Cornhill at the same timi, particularly in the latter. The
arrival of the firemen, lowever, was soon evident With
their usual alacrity they ore down a great part of the scab-
foldinir in front of the Cube Office, and having by this time
a plentiful supply of wirer, they 'dyed their engines so suc-
ce.t.sfully, as in a short the arrested the further progress of
the devouring ulement. At a quarter past one this morning
it was got under. Th damage is chiefly confined to Messrs.
Carroll and Smiths', ,re former of which is entirely con-
sumed. The Globe )!lice and Mr. Martin's are also da-
maged, but not matvally.
