A brig-of-war hating appeared off this harbour on the
14th inst.; reported to be a pirate, 1 communicated the cir-
cumstance to Capt. Bingham, of his Majesty's ship Thetis,.
suggesting for his consideration the propriety of his cruis-
ing for a few days, for the protection of the Which trade•
He immediately acted on this suggestion, and sailed in 1
few hours after tie had received my communication, anti
returned on the 17th, having spoken with an English
vessel who had had intercourse with the brig of war, an'
learnt that she was a privateer belonging to Buenos Ayres'
without any hostile intention towards our flag

His Majesty's packet brig Goldfinch has ar
rived with a No'rth American mail. She sailed

from Halifax on the 17th September, and brine

letters and papers to that date. They are en'
tirely devoid of interest. Papers from Prince
Edward':.. Island, to the 12th September, have
been received by the same opportunity, but they are
also barren of news. The crops in the Province
are stated to be of a most cheering nature ; the
quantity of hay cut this year exceeds all belief,---
a small piece of land, on which not more than
five tons were cut last year, has this year prodir
ced 16 ; and the produce of other parts of the
Province was still greater.

The building of the ~ New Brunswick
Theatre," in Goodman's Fields, under the direction of Ur.
. Whitwell, is proceeding rapidly. The wrought-iron roof, .
just put up over this extensive area, has excited general
notice from its lightness and ingenious construction; and
the interior of the house is so forward' that we understand
it will open at the approaching Christmas.
The first Assembly for the season, at the Ply
mouth Royal Hotel, took place on Wednesday last, under
the patronage of the Countess of Morley, and was mutt
splendidly and fashionably attended. These Assemblie4
have commenced under favourable auspices, and are like!!
to be equally well attended throughout the winter. Tye
next Assembly is under the patronage of Lady Emma Edr
eunabe, when the Marchioness of Londonderry and other
noble personages will be present.—Exeter Alfred.

ROBBERY.—Last night, about nine o'eloci,
a young fellow, dressed as a mechanic, rushed into the she
of Mr. Alderson, linen-draper, Tottenham-court-road, and
snatching a shawl from off the counter, darted into Cbr
vies-street with his booty : a hue and cry being raised, the
fellow was pursued and ultimately stopped by a watcbmals
at the corner of Thornhaugh_street, who caught him in
his arms. Carter, one of the Bow-street patrol, cornia
up at the time, secured the fellow, and placed him in tV
watch house.

INSTINCTIVE ANIMOSITY TO THE UNFOO°
runtierE.—There is a feeling in nature affecting even the
'instinct, as it is called, .of dumb animals, which teal e%
them to fly from misfortune. The deer will butt a sick of
wounded buck from the herd ; hurt a deg, and the whole
kennell will fall on him and worry him; fishes devour the'`
Own kind when they are wounded with a spear ; cut '`
crow's wing, or break his leg, the others will buffet it t°
death.... Woodstock.

• What the new plays at the London theatres
are to be, we have not heard ; we, however, take it f°r
granted that they are to be from the everlasting pens f
the authors immortalized in epigram.
Poole, Poeocke, and Payne, Parry, Planelie, and Peake,
Are served up at the houses six days in the week ;
No wonder one dish then is maukish and flat,
