r fact 10
ht or;

both public and journalists are indulging in
inferences and expectations. which, after all, are
drawn from very uncertain data. Yesterday
and to-day have been, fertile in eports. One
mentioned that letters from Odessa to the 16th.
September, positively stated that all the Russian
officers in that quarter, whO were on leave of
absence, had received orders to rejoin their,
. .
reennis Without loss of time; another re
port, derived from letters front France, stated
that the French. Government had received
Ovrices from Constantinople, through Germany,
announcing that the Porte had shown some dis-
position to give way, in consequence of which
negociations had been again opened, and

rumours to the same effect from Vienna reached
London,-tbrough Holland. Our own Govern-
ment also yesterday received advices through
Corfu from Mr. STRATFORD CANNING, and
as their contents were of sufficient consequence
to be immediately communicated to his MAJESTY
and to a Cabinet Council, it was supposed that they
confirmed the rumour ofthe submission ofthePorte
to the terns proposed by the Allies. The real
nature of Mr. STRATFORD• CANNING'S dis-
patches, however, did not, in any way transpire,
and it is probable that their dates come down
only to the sth or 6th Sept. It was stated, in-
deed, pretty confidently, that at their `ate some
additional time had been allowed to the SULTAN
to decide on the grand question ; and we shall
not be surprised to find that the period of 30
idAys, originally proposed to be given to his
highness, was conceded. This would bring the
time for the final answer to the 15th Sept., and
will at once .account for the apparent delay in
the receipt of decisive
:intelligence from the
Turkish Capital. If the 15th had been fixed
upon as the day on which the answer was to be
:given, the nature of that answer will probably be
known in Paris to-day or to-morrow, as the
jouruey from Constantinople May be made (as
it,'was a short time since) in 17 or-18 days. We
'nay, therefore, be shortly relieved from the
anxious suspense which we have been kept in re-
fl)cting the decision of a question on which,
Possibly, hangs the destinies of nations.
Since writing the above, we understand that
the dispatrzlies,. which were received yesterday
"in thr: lonian Islands, and on which the Ca-
binet Council met to deliberate, were of high
111Prirtance, and of a decisive character—they
'arP- supposed to relate to the Egyptian fleet. A
vessel has also arrived, which passed through
111. e Egyptian fleet, but the writer of a letter,
"which was sent by. her, has omitted to mention
the date, or the latitude and longitude; so that
cannot be ascertained whether the vessel met
the fleet on its epassage from Alexandria to
Rhodes, or after its departure from thence.

Major CRADDOCK, in the Pelican, had ar-
lived at Alexandria, three days after the depar-
t4N of the Egyptian fleet, charged (it is con-
4"ed) with authority to negociate for the neu-
"43, of the PACHA.

Brazil and Buenos Ayres may be considered
48 being again in a state of determined hostility
against each other. The
.Emperor of BRAZIL,
an his part, has resolved to take the field in person,
with the avowed object of conquering the Banda
°liental ; and one general feeling pervades the
People of Buenos 'Ayres to resist by every means
in their power. A spirit of enthusiasm prevails
eroongst them which it will be difficult to subdue.
The.new President and many of the great
Officers of State have
given up a portion of their
emoluments, and
private individuals have sub-
scribed large voluntary
contributions towards the
expellees of the war, for the preservation of their
independence, and
objects of national interest
and honour. The
hope of pacification under
such circumstances seemed to be vain, but
still the British Merchants resident at Buenos
Ayres had presented a memorial to Lord
PONSONBY, who remained there notwith-
standing the popular feeling expressed against
him, praying his Lordship to use his per-
sonal endeavours to bring about a renewal
of negotiations for the attainment of Peace.
Whether his Lordship would make any sueh
attempt was not known at the date of the letters,
but we fear that no endeavours on his part would
be successful. A spirit of animosity has been
excited between the two nations which it will
be difficult to allay, besides which, each seems
determined to obtain that tract of country, the
possession of which in a great degree commands
the navigation of the Rio Plata. With such an
object, and such exasperated feelings, it is almoSt
useless to
hope:for the restoration of amicable re-
lations between Brazil and Buenos Ayres.
We have given in another part of our Paper
of the 'conduct of M. GARCIA,
which he
an exposition
has published in defence of his proceed.
ings in negotiating the Peace which has not been
ratified.

By the arrival.of the Duke of York steam-vessel
We have been put ill possession of intelligence
from Lisbon up to the 24th ult. inclusive. No-
thing important had occurred. The trial of Gen.
SIIIBBs was proceeding. The PRINCESS RE-
GENT
- and her two sisters were present at a review
and sham fight of the British army, on the 20th
ult., and were much interested by the spectacle.
Their Royal Highnesses were not greeted with
much enequsiasm by the populace.
The most important facts stated by these ad-
°ices is, that the Liston Gazette of the 22d

September made an official announcement
of the expected arrival of Don MIGUEL to
assume the Regeuey ; and the Gazette of the
24th an advertisement for contracts for the sup-
ply of the British Army with provisions for six
months lion-116 21st instant. It is therefore
evident that the return of DON MIGUEL Will
not necessarily relieve our army from its present
service. We subjoin extracts from the Lisbon
Gazette, and an interesting letter from our own
Correspondent, but must defer further comment
till to-morrow :

usnow, SPAT. 94,

The Gazette of to-day contains, in the official part, a
notice from the finance department, containing an order of
the Infanta Regent to proceed immediately to the making
of the estimates of the public receipt and expenditure for
the year 1828. Her Highness also orders that the officers
of the Treasury shall use the utmost diligence, that the
accounts of the receipt and expenditure for the present year
may be made up in the beginning of January next, as they will
be of great importance in making the estimate for the next
year. The Gazette also contains an advertisement inch-
ing those persons who are disposed to contract for the sup-
ply of the British troops now quartered, or who may be
quartered in the sequel, from Lisbon to Ericeira, and five
leagues distant from it to the North of the Tagus, for the
term of six months, commencing from the 21st of October
inclusive, to send in their tenders before noon on the 4th
of October. The articles required are wheat-bread, fresh
beef, barley, straw, and wood.

LISBON, SEPT. 2s.
The steam-packet which conveys this to England arrived
here yesterday from Malaga, Gibraltar, and Cadiz. At
the latter place there was a report of the British Ambas-
sador having left Madrid, in consequence' of the discovery
of some intrigue between the French and Spanish Go-.
vernments against England, regarding the French army in
Spain. The truth or falsehood of this report will, how-
ever, be known in England before this reaches you.
The Government here continues in the same unsettled
state as when I addressed you last, and fully as despotic as
if the Constitution never existed. A few days ago the
conductors of the newspaper called 0 Portuguez were all
hurried to prison on some frivolous charge, and the arrest
of several individuals of liberal principles . has been going
forward liar some time, whilst others, notoriously known
to be inimical to the Constitution, are allowed to strut
about at noon-day. Yesterday there was an official an-
nouncement in the Lisbon Gazette, which is the organ of
Government, inferring that Don Miguel may soon be ex-
pected to assume the Regency. If this should take place
matters will then take some deCided shape, whether for
better or for worse remains to be seen ; at any rate the
question of the remaining or withdrawing of our army_
will be ascertained. At present we continue in a state of
uncertainty, and by way of amusement, ass our troops have
had no seal fighting- since they came to this country, the
Commander of the forces seems determined that they.shall
not go home without showing the, natives what they can
do by way of sham-fighting. By the , last packet I gave
you some account of a bloodless battle of this nature which
took place last week, and shall new endeavour to describe
a similar fete whkh was performed OB the same ground,
but by a greater number of troops, on the 20th instant.
The weather was particularly favourable fur the occasion,
as there bad been a storm of thunder and lightning,ac-
companied by a considerable fall of rain, the preceding
day. This cooled the air and prevented dust, which, from
there not having been even a slight shower for the last four
months, must have been, as Jonathan says, " pretty consi-
derable." Soon after the troops had assembled, the Prin-
cess Regent and her two sisters made their appearance,
riding richly eiparieoned horses, and dressed, if I may so
term it, as female Field-Marshals. They wore blue riding
habits, with gold epaulettes; the collars of the habits'were
in the Prussian military style, and which, as also the cuffs,
were embroidered with gold. Their fair bosoms were de-
corated with military orders, and their head-dresses con-
sisted of black velvet Spanish hats, adorned with plumes
of white ostrich feathers. The Regent looked quite reco-
vered from her late severe illness, and seemed a good deal
interested in the scene before her. She was attended by
Sir William Clinton and Sir William A'Court. Mr. Duff,
an English merchant of eminence here, 'and an Officer on
the Staff, were paying great attention to the second Prin-
cess ; and the youngest was attended to by Lieutenant-
Colonel Warre, the Assistant Quartermaster-General, who,
from having been brought up in early lift at Oporto, his
father being an English merchant there, speaks Portuguese
like a native.

The opposing forces, as on the former occasion, were
commanded by Major-Generals Sir H. Bouverie and Sir
Thomas Arbuthnot. The former had the two battalions
of Foot Guards, the 10th Hussars, and 12th Lancers; the
latter the 11th, 43d, and 63d regiments of infantry, with
a proportionate number of artillery on each side. When
all was ready, the Guards moved to the attack in close co-
lumns, and afterwards by wings in line ; the sharp-shooters
were of course in full play, hut on coming near enough to
the main body of the other party the skirmishers retired,
and a fire was opened of musketry and artillery along
both lines. The assailed party then moved forward, on
which the others retrograded, to afford an opportunity of
bringing their cavalry into play. These troops made some
fine charges, but the quick formation of squares by the
infantry- showed 'how easily cavalry can be rtpulsed when
those on foot are steady, and not taken by surprise. The
whole of the troops afterwards passed in review before the
Princess, and it was truly gratifying to hear the expres-
sions of admiration and surprise by many of the spectators
during the whole business.

Jamaica Papers to the 21st of August, have
been received at the North and South American
Coffee-house. They contain no intelligence
from the Main of the least importance. By the
Papers of the 20th, it appears that his Excellency
the Lieutenant-Governor bad been much indis-
posed, but was so much recovered as to give
notice of his intention of reviewing the St.
Ann's, St. Mary's, and Trelawney Regiments of
Militia. Some accounts arc then given of the
boisterous state of the weather on the Saturday
preceding, which commenced suddenly with a
strong north wind blowing; the rain fell in tor-
rents during the night, and about half-past six
o'clock it began to blow from the N. W. varying
to the N. and S. W., with a very heavy sea
running, which excited much alarm for the
vessels in the harbour; the larger, however, rode
gale in safety, a few of the small craft
drifted and suffered some injury. Several ves-
sels which were at Port Royal, ready to proceed
to sea, delayed their departure on account of the
wild appearance of the morning. The Lady
Wellington packet, had been delayed sailing by
order of the Lieut.-Governor,' to Tuesday, the
4th September, from the 28th August. This
early notice appears to have given much satis-
faction to the mercantile interest, by enabling
those merchants, residing on the north side of
the Island, to benefit by. the detention, instead
of learning, as heretofore, of the postpone-
ment
.of a picket after . she had sailed. His
Majesty's ship Harlequin, Captain ELLIOT,
arrived in Port Royal, from Port-au--Prince, in
five days. The Bustard, Captain Surrii, sailed
from thence the same day, having on. board Mr.
M'KENZIE, the Consul-General: his brother
came down in the 'Harlequin. At the period
of his departure all was tranquil in St. Domingo.
A letter from St. Mary's of the 7th August,
mentions that death . had made such ravages
among the crews of the vessels at Annotta Bay,
that those loaded and ready for sea cannot
proceed. for want of hands. One vessel.has lost

her crew twice ; the malady is supposed to be
typhus; sand imported by 'Oll6 of the same vessels.
It appears the Receiver-General demands
duties upon Rum (not Jamaica) and other stores
brought into the island as naval stores, the Ad-
miral on the station has in consequence expressed
him Self offended ;`but as. the Receiver-Creneral
is acting under the orders of the Commissioners
of Accounts, it was considered he would attri-
bute the act solely as emanating from his sense
of duty. Some threats had been, it appears,
thrown out that the squadron should be removed
to Trinidad in consequence, but Which, if ever se-
riously contemplated, appears to have been given
up ; and,'• to add' weight to this idea; the Editor
of the paper enters into a long reasoning on the
subject, which, however, is of a nature that,
shoWs the jealousy of the people of the Island
on the subject, of the permission granted by.the
Government at hoine, in allowing the,importa7
tion of .Foreig,n Sugars, at reduced rates.
z:de
people do. not care 'Who is Commanderlin-
Chief ortlie Army ; the squadron is not pi
atthe island to' oblige the peopki but beeaUSe it
is a convenient port, with reference to the Island
of Cuba, the Colombian and Mexican StatesoSte.
They then complain that his Majesty's Ministers
have uniformly trampled on the Island, and that
they ought to pay as much attention to the court-
try of Jamaica, as to the county 'of Middlesex.

Bombay .Papers have been received at the
North and South American Coffee-house to
the 21st of June, from which we make the fol-
lowing extracts :
We are concerned to find the cholera has again made its
appearance in the Bengal districts, and that the native
community of Calcutta, Belascore and Juypore, are not
only afflicted with that dreadful epidemic, but 'are labouring
under the plague, of fever, small-pox, and measles.
We understand a considerable quantity of rain has fallen
in the Deccan. On Sunday evening, about 8 p.m: we
experienced one 'of, those brisk land-squalls, the grateful
harbingers of the monsoon, attended with muck thunder
and lightning. The rain fell heavily till 11 p.m., when it
gradually subsided.
The • Cornwallis brings us discouraging accounts of the
China cotton market. The'price of that staple article has
fallen to about 8 tales per pecul. Malwa opium at from
930 to 960 dollars ; the price of Patna, very low, last
year's Patna being very inferior, both in quality and weight
reduced the price, but the Teignmouth had reached Lin-
ton with a much superior kind, and of the full standard
weight which will probably turn the scale again in its
favour.

By accounts received from Arracan, the Burmese had
burnt the whole bazaar, and killed several persons, Mugs, I
presume, who are objects of their interminable hatred. Five
companies of the 52d regiment, now stationed here, have re-
ceived orders to embark for Akyab immediately. No great
consequence is attached to the affair, it is considered one
of those affrays which may be expected to take place be-
tween the Mugs and Burmese whenever they meet in any
numbers. By a vessel from Rangoon we learn that the
same obstacles continue to be thrown in the way of trade
as before the war; two per cent. (it is now twelve) has
been added to the duty on goods imported, and the
Burmese authorities will permit nothing to be sold
till they have selected what they please. In con-
sequence of the dissatisfaction at the police regulations,
all the Calcutta Ticca Bearers had struck work for the last
three or four days, and it is said they had come to a deter-
mination of not lifting a palanquin in Calcutta until the
obnoxinne regulation is rescinded. We have the melan-
choly task of recording the death of Major-General 11.
Hall, tommandine- the Southern Division of the Army ;
the command has devolved on Major-General James Leith,
who has been recently put on the staff of Fort St. George.
It is with some regret we have learnt, by recent letters
from Hydrabad, of a melancholy transaction that occurred
on the morning of the 6th May, at Blominabad, the head-
quarters of the cavalry division of the Nizam's army,
it having been reported early in the morning to Lieutenant
Colonel Davies (the Officer commanding the Cavalry Divi-
sion) that a number of men of the 3d Regiment had turned
out and refused to obey the orders of their Officers. Upon
enquiry it was found that the men alluded to, had planted
a flag on the General Parade, and with arms in their hands
refused to listen to their Commanding Officer, who was
vainly endeavouring to persuade them to return to their
duty. Lieut.-Colonel Davies accompanied by his Brigade
Major, proceeded to the spot, where about 25 men were
found assembled. On the Colonel approaching, they ex-
claimed (waking use of menacing gestures) don't come here,
Colonel, and send away your orderlies, we will have nothing
to do with them ; the orderlies were sent to the rear, and
the Lieutenant-Colonel, with his Brigade-Major, made use
of every argument to induce the deluded men to return to
their duty, and, as it was at first-supposed, with some effect,
but while Colonel Davies was speaking to one of the men
apart, a havildar, who appeared one of the leaders, came
forward and seized the bridle of the Colonel's horse, calling
out in Hindostanee to kill him, and drawing his pistol,
fired at hint ; the ball went in his left side, and came out
on the other just below the rib, the gorse reared, and he
fell off, when the whole body of mutineers fired
at him, then attacked him with their swords, by which
he received eleven sabre wounds. At this moment the
let Regiment, under the European Commandant, were
approaching the parade ; they immediately charged the
mutineers, and the whole, with the exception of three or
four men who threw down their arms (and have been se-
cured), were cut up. The officer commanding received a
sabre cut on his sword arm, and three or four men of the
3d Regime2t, which also charged, were wounded ; it ap-
pears the ITavilder (the ring-leader), with two others, got
into a pogoda, and for some time kept two of the European
officers and one or two others at bay, at last they made a
rush and dispatched them. The Natives (by whom Lieut.
Colonel Davies was beloved) treated .the body of the ring-
leader with every possible indignity after his death.—
The exact cause of this melancholy transaction has not
transpired ; but a strict investigation is now on foot,
and the cause will be shortly known. Colonel
Davies only survived his wounds until the morning of
the Bth, when he expired, on which occasion the Resident
addressed a General Order, on the part of the Nizam's Go-
vernment, to his army, in which he expresses the deepest
sorrow at the loss of so valuable an Officer, his grief and
indignation at the outrage committed on the deceased by
the insubordination of the military ruffians, and trusts this.
feeling will be echoed in the breast of every—Officer and
soldier in the Nizam's army. Another lamentable
transaction, of a similar nature, but fortunately less fatal in its
result has occurred in Trichinopoly in the attempt to as-
sassinate Major Smythe of the sth Native Cavalry, by one
of the troops of the regiment. The wretched man, who
made the attempt, is stated to be deranged. It appears
on the 18th the assassin followed the Major off the exer-
cising pound, and having addressed a few words to him
fired off his pistol, which, however, did not take effect,
he immediately fired off a second, which unfortunately,
took and lodged in the Major's shoulder-blade,
from place,wh it has not been extracted. The wretch then
fled to the top of some rocks near the cantonments,
but was pursued by nearly the whole regiment. Cornet
Lord and Lieut. Craigie were the first persons who came
up with him, and, upon attempting to secure him,
he fired, which grazed Cornet Lord's head. He then
produced another pistol, and was in the act of cocking,
when Lieutenant Craigie ehct him dead on the spot. We
are
to state, upon good authority, that Major
sm
swound, thoegh . severe, is not attended with
much
thi
eppy
,
danger.

Letters from Gibraltar of the 18th ultimo,
mention that by the latest accounts from Oran,
another French vessel had been taken and car-
ried into that place.

Such had been the alarm occasioned by the
insurrection in Catalonia, that upwards of 20,000
persons had taken refuge in Barcelona, and house
rent, in consequence, had risen two-thirds...
By accounts from Tarragona, in' four days,

body of 2,000 insurgents had taken possession
of Rens, on the 9th September; and had levied
on.the inhabitants eontributiOns;, having impri-
soned them until they complied with their de-
mands. They had previously entered Vendide,
where they; levied a sum of 8,000 dollars, and
are masters of Blanes and other places.

Bombay Papers to the 21st- June have been
received-ibis :morning at the. North and South
American Coffee-house ; their, contents are un-
interesting, being chiefly filled with extracts‘from
the London Papers. The monsoon has set in
generally thrbughout this side of India, and we:
are thus assured. that there is no fear of'a drOught
in the districts during the ensuing season—An
evil so common and so disastrous in tropical
climates.

The Elena, Monzto, from Teneriffe, arriv-
ed at Gibraltar on. the 11th September ; she
was. boarded on the. 18th AugOst in sight of
that Island, by an armed brigantine, of about
12 guns and 50 men, stated to be a Maro-
quin cruizer, which inquired for. Hamburg])
and. South Airterican vessels, and the amine of
the Island in sight.

• A report • has arrived that the Egyptian
fleet have landed - troops at . the Island
of Hydra, and have put to death the whole
of its. garrison, and the greater, portion of the
inhabitants.

The following extraordinary phenomena is
extracted from a letter, addressed by Captain
HUNT, of the Atlas; from Madras, dated off
Plymouth, October 1 :

We experienced a continuance*of storms for IS days,
whilst rounding the Cape of Good Hope : in one of them,
whilst opposite the 'coast of Algoa ,Bay, on the 27th' of
June, about 5 p.m., by a sudden explosion, the ship'was
covered with several balls of fire, part of which entered the
main-mast at the head and descended to the middle, where
it burst out, carrying with it two-thirds of the masts,
hoops,.and fishes. •A. great part passed through one of the
pumps, which it split in two between decks, and filled them
with smoke. Scarcely had the shock subsided, when
another explosion happened : all the sails in the
main-mast were cut :to pieces, 'though furled:; all the
glass in the poop and skylight broken to atoms, many of
our watches considerably injured, and our compasses greatly
affected, one of which is at this time acting on the reverse
order. During the time hard squalls, with rain, and hail-
stones of peculiar.shape and size.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
CHAPMAN V. HOWLS.

' This was an action to recover the amount of a debt eon-
tractedin the year 1819, in order to take the debt out of
the Statute of Limitations, evidence was given of a condi.
tional acknowledgment made by the defendant within six
years, nearly in these words : —She said she was sorry that
she could not pay the debt, as she bad but two sovereigns.
She regretted she could not discharge the plaintiff's demand,
as it might bring all her other creditors about her ears.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE decided that this acknowledg-
ment of the debt did not take the case out of the operation
of the Statute of Limitations. There had been several
judgments on this subject, still there existed considerable
misconception with respect to the law. Ile would, there-
fore, once for all, declare that no acknowledgment could
avail, unless it amounted to a promise to pay. In the
present instance, the defendant, so far from promising to pay,
had, in fact, declared her inability to pay, accompanying
that declaration with the expression of regret. The dc-
fendant's claim must therefore stand as it the defendant had
never adverted to the existence of the debt since 1819.---
Th• plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited.

LEACH V. MULLET, AND AN-OTHER

Mr. IluTcriiissoN opened the pleadings. It was an ac-
tion brought to 'recover 3W., the amount of a deposit paid
by the plaintiff to the defendants as part of the purchase-
money of two houses, which the defendants as auctioneers,
had sold him.

Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS stated the case. The two
houses in question were described as Nos. 3 and 4,
Elizabeth-place, Lambeth; but after the deposit had
been paid, it was discovered by the plaintiff, that
the houses really intended to be soll .to him were
Nos. 2 and 3. There were also other mistatements,
both as to the ground-rent and as to the liability of the
landlord to pay taxes, &e.
_ _

Evidence was offered to spew that the auctioneers had no
authority whatever to svil No. 4.

Mr. Sergeant SranxtE, for the defendants, argued that
the misdescription of the premises was a mere mistake,
arising from inadvertence, and not intended to deceive the
plaintiff; the error, such as it was, was caused by a pro-
vision in the conditions of sale, to the effect, that -if any
error or mis-statement should creep into the description, it
should not vitiate the contract. The Learned Sergeant
further contended, and called witnesses to spew, that the
plaintiff was himself aware of the misdescription of the
premises. 'the evidence, however, did not go the full
length of fixing him with that knowledge.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE thought the misstatement of
too serious a character to be treated as one arising from
inadvertence. It was material that auctioneers should be
accurate in their description of premises, otherwise they would
have it in their power to practise frauds on the public. if in-
deed they had fallen into a mere nii:-statement, calculated to
mislead, that might be a matter fur compensation ; but in
the present instance it was in Isis Lordship's opinion
such as to deprive the defendant of all right to enforce the
contract against the plaintiff.
Veidict for the plaintiff—Damages, 301.

By a letter received from Port Louis (Mau-
ritius) of the 2d June, we learn the Clydesdale is in a
very bad state; she had met with several accidents, had
been on shore on the James and Mary Shoal) and on her
passage down had 8 feet water in he: hold. She bad been
ordered to be unloaded and surveyed, but it was fearful she
would be found in a very bad state, and would be con-
demned. The hurricane months being now over, we are
assured of a most aboadant crop of sugar, say upwards of
20,000 tons for shipping, and a good current freight of
51. may be fairly calculated upon from October to January.
A vessel coming out in search of freight, touching at Rio
de Janeiro or the River Plate for a cargo of mules, would
sell them readily here on arrival at 130 to 150 dollars
each.

DISGUSTING OFFENCE.--A younggirl names'
Tierney, was brought before the Magistrates of College-
street on Tuesday, on a charge of a novel nature. It ap.
pears that she, and some of her accomplices, have been it
the habit of frequenting Merrion and Fitzwilliam-squares.
at hours when ladies residing in those fashionable quarter,
enjoy a morning or evening promenade ; after throwing r
quantity of filth upon their dresses, apf rising them of tb
state of their attire, offering their assistance for cleaning it.
they finally claim a sum of money as a remuneration fel
their trouble.—Several ladies of the highest respectabilit:,
have been treated in this manlier by those young vagabonds,
but through motives of delicacy they could not be inducer'
tails of

THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The report of arrivals for this week is at present very

day's prices. There is scarcely any thing doing in Bar-
ley. Beans and Pease are unaltered. The Oat trade is
heavy for all descriptions, but the prices cannot be re-
ported lower than on ➢Monday.

INDIGO SALE AT THE EAST INDIA HOUSE.
There was a numerous attendance of dealers and brokers
at this sale at an early hour this morning. The first lots
did not go oft• with any degree of briskness, but as the
morning advanced, there was much contention for the su-
perior descriptions. The prices obtained were, if any
thing, higher than last sale, but as yet, owing to the few
lots sold, no criterion can be formed of the result of the sale.
