James Walker, C. 8., will succeed to the Jamaica com-
mand, and Rear-Admiral Sir G. E. Hamond, Bart.
and K.C.8., to that of Halifax and Newfoundland.

ROYAL MARlNES.—Captain Halloran, from unat-
tached half-pay, to be Captain, vice Cupples, de-
ceased ; First-Lieut. Bury, of this division, is pro-
moted to the rank of Captain, vice Halloran.
Ail was well on board his Majesty's ship Asia,
(flag-ship), off Messina, on the 11th ult.

The Goldfinch packet brig, and the Britomart
sloop, Commander Johnson, were towed out of
harbour early on Thursday, the former sailed at once
for Falmouth, and the latter vessel on Monday, on a
cruise.

The Bramble cutter, Lieut. W. Haswell, came up
from Falmouth on Sunday morning, having landed a
Lisbon mail there in the course of Saturday; and
having left the Tagus on that day week. While at
Lisbon, a Portuguese brig-of-war returned with the
loss of a topmast.
In Hamoaze.—Britannia, Kent, Trinculo, Nimrod,
Lightning, Lyra, and Meteor steam-vessel.
At the Island—Bramble.

KINGSTOWN REGATTA.--This annual
aquatic amusement commenced yesterday under the
most favourable auspices. The weather was delightfully
fine, and during the day there was a gentle breeze from
S.S.E. At ten o'clock the harbour presented a most en-
livening prospect, there having been assembled nearly
• sixty sail of yachts, of various sizes and tonnage, many of
them decorated with much taste and elegance. There
was besides a vast number of small boats, which plied
gaily about the harbour and bay, and contributed much to
the effect of the scene.—Dublin Morning Register of
Wednesday.
SEVEN MEN SHOT ! SIX DEAD !—BORIs-
-O'.KANE, MONDAY Evxmxa.—There was a fair held in
this town on Friday last, and in the evening a slight affray
took place between the country people, which had been
quieted, when five mounted police rode through the town
and commenced an attack on the peaceable people. The
crowd immediately commenced throwing stones at the
police, when Captain DOBBYN, a stipendiary Magistrate,
read the Riot Act, and directed the police to fire, when
two persons were shot, and several dangerously
wounded. Yesterday, in the act of interring one
of the men who had been shot, the people were fired
at from a house in the outlets of the town by a per-
son named JOHN L— and four others, who are Orange-
men—they had port-holes made in the house, through
which they fired, when four men were killed on the spot
and one mortally wounded. Mr. CARROLL, the Coroner
from Nenagh, has arrived to hold an inquest. As soon
as the firing commenced from L--'s house the people
set fire to and burned two houses, and would have con-
tinued the work of devastation but for the interference of
the military, two strong parties of which have come in
from Birr and Nenagh. The Jury have been sworn and
have viewed the bodies, and adjourned until to-morrow.
Any thing to equal the state of irritation that this county
is now in I never witnessed.—Dublin Morning Register.
The third battalion of the Grenadier Regi-
ment of Guards had a field-day yesterday morning in
Hyde park. The battalion performed a variety of evolu-
tions with great celerity and precision—the movements in
column, in line, and in echellon, were well executed : the
formation of squares, the countermarching, and the
countermovetnents were admirably performed—in short,
the whole of the marceuvres were executed in fine style.
The battalion did not fire. Lord S sr.Tousr commanded.
BUCHAREST, JUNE 9.—Though the plague
has not spread since the sth, the shops and the markets are
closed, and all communication made with the greatest pre-
caution. News is received from Galacz, that the plague
has also maniftsted itself there. As the Rus•ian hospitals
are in that town, and the communication between Walla-
chia and the coasts of the Black Sea passes through it,
this is a melancholy circumstance for us. From Silistria,
though only a few days journey from ns, we have nothing
certain since the news lately communicated.
CAUTION TO PUBLISHERS.—Mr.BEULER,
the comic song writer, has been fined, by the Commis-
sioners of Stamps, Si., being a mitigated penalty, for ne-
glecting to pay the duty on a pamphlet within the proper
period. The following is an extract of the Act, 10th ANNE,
c. 19, which directs—" That one printed copy of every
such pamphlet which shall be printed or published in Lon-
don or Westminster, or within the weekly bills of mor-
tality, shall he brought to the head-office of stamps, within
six days after the printing tlieieof, to be there registered,
and the duty (3s. per sheet) paid thereon ; and that one
copy of every such pamphlet, printed or published in any
other part of Great Britain, shall, within 14 days after
the printing thereof, be brought to some head collector of
stamp duties, who is to enter the same and receive the
duty; and, in default thereof, the printer and publisher of
such pamphlet, and every person concerned in the printing
or publishing thereof, shall forfeit the sum of 201., with
full costs of suit."

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 3, 1829.

Prince POLIGNAC, the French Ambassador,
rad a long conference with the Duke of WEL-

LINGTON this morning in Downing-street.

There are no arrivals at any of the Govern
went offices to-day.

Some German Papers of the 23d June have

seen received, but their contents are rendered

uninteresting by the arrivals of yesterday. The
article from the Frontiers of Wallachia, dated
June 5, is clearly made up from report, and is

not entitled to any credit, because we have sub.
sequent accounts from that quarter which do not
coincide with it :

FRONTIERS OF WALLACIfIA JUNE 3.—lt is very
difficult to learn here any thing certain respecting the
operations of the armies, because all communication
with the right bank of the Danube is strictly prohibit-
ed. Among the unauthenticated reports in circula-
tion is one which of that the Grand Vizier had
arrived with 30,000 men near Silistria, and that the
garrison, in order to open a communication with him,
made a sally on the Ist and 2.1 of this month, which, how-
ever, failed in its object. Of the seventeen towers by
which .CZilistria is defended, it is said that ten are already
destroyed by the fire of the besiegers ; the same accounts
sly that o❑ the 30th of M:ty the town was set on fire in
several places, but a torrent of rain falling, stopped the
progress of the flames, so that the town was saved for
this time. The heavy rain is said to have entirely filled
the trenches of the Russians. Accounts from Kalarasch
say, that the bridgt s of boats over two arms of the
ll .nube are already completed, and the third will be finish •1
ed in a few days, if the late inundation does not throw
fresh difficulties in the way.

Among the band of coiners discovered at Bucharest,
there are two English subjects, which led to some alterca-
tion between the President and Mr. Blutt, the English
agent, in consequence of which the latter it is said will
leave Wallachia. In consequence of the continuance of
epidemic disorders, the great guard-house, at Bucharest,
has also been left within these few days by the Russian
soldiers.

VIENNA, MAY 17.—The accounts respecting the scar-
city of the necessaries of life in Dalmatia are nacre favour-
able, since the influence of the paternal care of his Majesty
the Emperor has began to be felt. The poorer classes
receive what is necessary far their support from the
Magistrates, and the richer classes are able to obtain their
necessaries at reasonable prices. The trade on the coast of
Dalmatia is becoming more active, and will be much in-
creased by the resolution of the Government. According
to which, from the Ist of July this year, all goods coining
in transit from the ports of the Monarchy arc to be free
from transit duty. Trieste in particular will gain by this
new regulation, and many houses which have consignments
to make have deferred them till the above date, in order to
profit by the exemption.

We perceive by the Cork Southern Reporter
that Colonel Hor)En has resigned the contest
For Cork, and the course is now said to be en-
tirely open to Mr. CALLAGHAN.

The report of a truce for two months having
been entered into by the Greeks and Turks, is
again revived in the French Papers, on the autho-
rity ofletters from Ancona, stating that a ship of
war had arrived in that port, the Captain of which
despatched a courier to London. If that
had been so, we think the courier would
have brought the first information of such an
event. There is no other news in the French
Papers, unless we may consider the following
paragraph in the Constitutionnel as such :
" We are assured to-day (Tuesday) that
the Chamber would be closed, and not pro-
rogued. The reason of this is, that in case the
Chamber prorogued, they would meet again to-
wards the 15th November, and it is thought
that the new Ministry, which is to succeed the
present, and to enter on its duties in a few days
after the Session, would not have time to make
its arrangements, and bring about its majorities.
" Among the new Ministers mentioned to
supersede a part of those who sit in the Council,
the first is the perpetual candidate Prince PO-
LIGNAC : and Messrs. PORTAL, MOUNJER,
and Toßmou, are mentioned as his fellow-
labourers. The latter belong to that party
which, after the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle,
overturned by a majority of five—obtained
we know how—the law of elections ; and their
entrance into the Council would be a certain
prelude to an attack on the new electorial law,

tain the national dignity, do not wish to impose
on their suffering constituents pompous useless-
ness, and burthen them with ruinous fancies.
These expectations, however, tvill be deceived,
we are convinced.

At an adjourned meeting of the Catholic As-
sociation Finance Committee, held on Monday
last at the Corn Exchange, Dublin, Mr. ENEAS
INIACDONNELL, late London Agent to the Asso-
ciation, reiterated his claim to some of the Rent
still remaining in the hands of the Treasurer. In
the course of the discussion that arose out of this
claim, some amusing squabbling took place between
Mr. O'CONNELL and Mr. MACDONNELL, in

which the former had manifestly the advantage

Mr. MACDONNELL, it seems, thinks that he has
been underpaid for his services as agent ; Mr.
O'CONNELL holds a contrary opinion. So far
as we can at present judge of the nature of his
services, we do not hesitate to say that 3001. per
annum (with an extra half year thrown in by
way of courtesy) has quite sufficiently paid Mi•
MACDONNELL. The chief duties of this
gentleman, while agent for the Associa-
tion, consisted, if we mistake not, in writ-

ing long letters from London to Dublin, on
the subject of Catholic affairs, in which
many crude notions were put forth, and much
paper wasted ; and surely if the author of these
epistles really deserves 5001. per annum fur
writing them, his correspondents deserve twice
as much for reading them. Really, Mr. MAC-
DONNELL overrates his public services, as we
suspect the event will show. We should riot
have noticed this subject at all, had we not
wished to express our regret that those who have
been instrumental in carrying so great a point as
the Catholic Question, should now sully their
laurels about the paltry business of a few odd
pounds.

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY

FROM LLOYD'S.

DEAL, JULY 2.—Wind W.S.V.—Arrived from
London, the Stranger, Wight, for Jamaica ; Ganges,
Nelson, for 13oston. Arri‘'ed the Waterlol, Davis,
from Jamaica. The *United States schooner, Shark,
hailed the Waterloo on the 14th of May, and the
Captain stated that he and part of the crew went on
shore to Cape Antonio, and found two long nine-
pounders and a large boat ready to mount the guns,
which he took from the Spaniards.
FALMOUTH, JULY 2.—Wind S. to W., 6 p.
The Sphynx packet, from Vera Cruz and Havannall,
is now off the Port, but the mail tvill net be in time

STANGATE CREEK, JULY 2.—Arrived the Lo-
rina, Thomas Davie, from Carthagena.
KINGSTON, (JAMAICA), APRIL 23.—The Eliza-
beth, Phillips, from London, arrived at Manchioneal
on the 15th inst.; on the 21st ult. in lat. 20. long.
29, she was boarded by a large brigantine, which
showed a white flag at the main, but no other colour.
She carried a long eighteen pounder and four long
nine's, a long low vessel full of men, and about two
hundred tons burthen, with painted posts. A boat,
with two officers and eight men, came on board and
took possession of the Elizabeth, and steered in
company with the brigantine, S.E.; and from what
Capt. Phillips learned from their conversation it
seemed their intention to carry the vessel to St.
Antonio, one of the Cape de Verd Islands. After
steering in that direction for three hours, a large ship
hove in sight from the N.E., supposed to be a man
of war, upon which they left the Elizabeth, after
plundering her of several barrels of provisions and
small stores. The men were all armed with pistols
and cutlasses, and eppeared to be of all countries ;
the officer in command a Spaniard. They offered
no violence to Capt. Phillips or any of his crew, but
sheaved great disappointment at sight of the strange
sail, which gained upon them very fast.
YARMOUTH, JULY 2.—The Dart, of Plymouth,
Harker, from Newport to Sunderland, struck on the
Newark sand this morning, but came off without
assistance; she makes a great deal of water, and has
lost an anchor and cable.

The Industry, M'Curthv, from Dublin to South-
ampton, was carried into Yarmcuth, Isle of Wight,
on Wednesday night, by a Cowes pilot-boat, having
been abandoned by the crew.

The Prince Burnell, from Newry to
Bridport, was driven on shore near Bridport; cargo
discharging.

" BOGOTA, ♦PRIL 4, 1829.

" Sett,--1 have the honour of acquainting you, for the
information of the Merchants trading to Colotnbia, that a
Circular was issued by the Government on the 22d ult.,
to the Prefects of the Marine Departments, directing them
to levy six per cent, extra duty on all importations of
which the invoice. had not been presented to, and certified
by, the Colombian Consuls, or the Consuls of a friendly
nation, at the port of shipment.
This regulation was ordered to take effect as regards
Europe in four months, and as regards the United States
and the Colonies in two months, from the date of its
publication, by the respective Prefects ; but the time of
notice, not only for the United States and the Colonies,
but for Europe, being deemed too short, this Government
in compliance with the requests of several of the foreign
agents here, has extended the first period to six, and the
latter to four months.

It is very desirable that British merchants should com-
ply strictly with this regulation, as in the event of any
deviation from it after the expiration of the extended
periods of notice his Majesty's Agents in Colombia could
not with propriety interfere in their behalf.
I have the honour to be, your most obedient servant,
JAMES HENDERSON.
His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General.
To J. Bennett, Esq., Lloyd's.
RUSSIAN CONSULATE-GENERAL.

London, July 2.
Sir,—l beg to apprise you, for the information of
Lloyd's, that I have just received from my Government
a communication, aunouncing the destruction by the ice
of the Tower on the Wereff Reeff, in the Baltic, and the
intention of replacing it immediately by another.
I remain, Sir, &c. &c.
(Signed) G. BENKIIAUSEN,
Russian Consul-General.
To John Bennet, Esq. Secretary, Lloyd's.

WIsBEACii, JULY I.—An elopement was
made hence last Saturday. The lady is not yet seven-
teen, and is the daughter of a worthy physician. She
feigned a pain in her head, when it appears her heart was
most affected, and under pretence of retiring to bed, flew into
the arms of her inamorato. The parties then fled " for safety
and for succour," and it was midnightere their escape became
known. They are supposed to have taken refuge in Lon-
don, but are expected to return. Indeed, stranger things
have occurred in this world than the anion of the daughter
of a learned prescriber with a humbler scion of the pro-
testion.— S tamford Ntwa.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.

At this day's m4rket, which was short of fat Beasts,
and otherwise but moderately supplied, Beef, Mutton,

CITY MARKETS.—(TWO O'CLOCK.)
The sale of Mocha Coffees by the East India Company
on Wednesday, consisting of 2,000 bags, went off at full
prices, viz. from 110 s. to 112 s. per cwt.
THE SILK TRADE.-The quantity of It iw Silks taken
in at the East India sale just concluded was very consider-
able, amounting in the whole to 4,100 bales, including
licenszd goods. Of China Raw Silks alone there were
2,860 bales refused and withdrawn. Up to the termina-
tion of the sale there was a disinclination to purchase by
the trade. Business, since the sale, appears to be rather
inure active, but purchases are only made to supply imme-
diate ond pressing wants.

Hors.—The market is rising; pockets are 3s. dearer.
The duty called• 50,0001. This morning accounts from
Sussex say—" Nothing can be worse than the appearance
of the plantations, and people in London, in the trade,
should come down and see them." From Worcester they
write—" Our plantation is going off rapidly, the late rains
have made the vermin increase in a manner almost unpre-
cedented. Our opinion is, that the blight is certain."
From Tunbri,lge a planter writes—" I have been over many
hundred acres in this neighbourhood that I would not give
one cwt. an acre for."

ConoN.—The East India Company's declaration of
Cotton Wool is out, and the sale is fixed for the 24th of
July, and at present 3,816 bales are announced. The
Cotton market is steady, but prices do net seem inclined
to rise.

RICE is very heavy. The principal part of 2,900 bags,
offered by the East Indic Company on Wednesday, was
bought in. The Rice sold realized from 11s. to 12s.
per cwt.

- In BALTIC PRODUCE business is dull. Tallow, 375. 3d.
to 375. 6d. for delivery, and 375. 9d. per cwt. on arrival.
lismco.—The whole declarations by the Company he_
fore the sale begins, are expected to reach 6,000 chests.
The marka is dull.

An unpleasant event took place yesterday at
a fashionable hotel, by the arrest of a hghly-respected
gentleman connected with tke West Indies, at the suit of
a jeweller, in the vicinity of Chancery-lane, on account of
articles furnished his lady, and which the jeweller was
cautioned against doing two years ago.
