DOVER, OCTOBER 16.

His Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON arrived here yes-
terday morning from Walmer Castle, to enter upon his
duties as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. He appeared
in the full uniform of his distinguished office, and imme-
diately proceeded to the Harbour house, where he pre-
sided at a meeting of the Commissioners. There was a
full Boatd, and we noticed R. 11. JENKINSON, Esq., the
Lieutenant-Governor of Dover Castle, Sir EDWARD
KNATCHBULL, Sir JOHN BEYDGES, Sir HENRY OXEN-
DEN, and many others.
After the business of the Court was dispatched, the
Lord War.len inspected the Maison Dieu, a tine old build-
ing at the end of the town, which has been long used by
Government as a Victualling Office, and which it has been
in contemplation to sell, but it is understood that the survey,
yesterday may probably ewe this venerable fabric from
sale and consequent removal, and that it may be appro-
priated to the service of the Ordnance Department.
The Lord Warden dined at the Ship Inn with the Com-
missioners, the Deputy Lieutenant-Governor, the Mayor
and Magistrates, the Commandant of the Garrison, and
sltne other Gentlemen, and returned at night to Walmer
Castle. _ _

This morning his Grace arrived from Walmer Castle,
and immediately held a Court of Loadmanage for the re••
gulation of the Cinque Ports Pilots. After which he went
to the Town Hall to be admitted to the freedom of Dover,
a compliment that was voted to him by the Corporation on
his acceptance of the Lord Wardenship. He dines to-day
at the Antwerp Inn with the Members of the Court of
Leadmanage.
We are happy to say his Grace looks remarkably well,
and has entered into the business of both Courts with the
activity and attention so peculiarly his characteristic.
At the Court yesterday, J. P. PLuarraz, Esq. of
Ftedville, was unanimously elected a Commissioner of
Dover Harbour, in the room of the late Sir BaooK
Bnwuas, of Goodnestone Park.

The North Salopian Cavalry under Lieut.-
Colonel Sir BowLAND HILL, Bart. terminated their duty

at Odwestry en Saturday. There are some in the Os-
westry squad who were present at the memorable bathe
of Duddleston He all, in Ellesmere parish, where a vast
muritude of rioters were met and conquered by about SO

eavalry.—Shrewsbury Chroniele.

His Majesty's schooner Pickle, of 3 guns and
36 men, about the sth Aueust succeeded in capturing,
after a Chace of 18 hours, and au action of oue hour and a
half, a slave brig of 5 guns and 60 men. She had on
board 400 slaves.

We hear it rumoured, that the prolonged visits

be first few days of his residence in London.— Cour

SHOAL O>• WIIALES.-011 the 22(1 of Sep.

tember twenty-three whales were driven ashore at Quen-
dal Bay, mar Sumburgh-head, in Shetland, which yielded
about seven tons of oil. This would be a good lift to the
poor fishermen, as the Sheriff of the county has lately
found that the proprietors of the soil have no vested right
in any thing caught or found within sea mark.—Scotsman
LANARK, OCT. 12.—The canvass for this

district of burghs has already began very keenly ; aMr
G unraass or GILLAN has waited upon the electors, and
paid them his most bumble devoirs. On Friday last, the
pleasant Member, Mr. Haar, gave a personal call to each,
and in the evening entertained them at dinner, in the
Clydesdale Inn. What there passed we know not, farther
than that he assured them' of his determination to abide by
his former principles, and that he would dispute to the
last inch of ground his former standing with the burghs.
Of his opponent we know nothing ; and of the present
Member we know little more than that he is an honour-
able man ; and therefore, as most represent dims now go,
we are of opinion that the burghs are in very good hands.

The price of iron in Scotland has not varied
since last notice; the best quality bringing Si. ss. a ton.
The founderies in this quarter are consuming about their
usual quality. The exportation to Ireland is fully as great
as it was ; but the demand for the Lancashire market has
been for some time slack, owing to the long stoppage of
the cotton works. As the operatives however are now at
work, having found it necessary to accept the rate of wages
against which they stood out for six months, considerable
orders are expected from the founderies in that county._
Glasgow Chronicle.
THE nARVEST IN TILE NETHERLANDS.
_—(From a Ghent Paper.)—The harvest has turned out
generally good. There will be an increase of about a
fourth in the wheat and rye crops, and the quality seems
improved in the same proportion. These kinds of crops
are ta markably fine in the neighbourhood of Roulers,
whither the farmers resort from a distance of five leagues
to buy their stock of reed. Barley is also plentiful, but,
being somewhat damaged, will experience a diminution in
price. If we have a little fine weather the potato crops
will prove abundant. As to hay, the meadows of Dis-
mode will not have yielded more than a quarter of an
average crop, owing to the incessant rains. The unfa-
vourable weather compels the graziers to bring their cattle
to market at ruinous prices. A large tract of country
round Ferries is completely laid under water. This mis-
fortune is, however, chiefly attributable to a want of cau-
tion on the part of the Superintendents of the canal
works. The Colza ctops in the provinces of Ypres and
Courtray have exceeded by a fifth those of the preceding
year, but at the same time a sixth less of oil must be ex-
pected from them.
On the 7th of May, 1780, a labouring man,
named GualMEItY, with his wife, and a daughter aged
nine, and TIIO3IAS SitEEN, the brother of GUMMEILY'S
wife, were murdered in their beds at Berrow in this
county. These murders caused the greatest sensation at
the moment, and some persons were apprehended on sus-
picion, but no evidence could be obtained sufficient to war-
, rant the trial of any one on the dreadful charge ; the ge-
neral impression was that the murder a were committted
from motives of revenge, arising out of transactions con-
nected with the inclosure of Malvern Link. A circurn-
stance has, within these few days, occurred at the Wor-
cester Infirmary, which seems to throw some light on the
dreadful affair. On the Ist of August, a man, named
GEORG e SzoKes, of Maddresfield, 75 years of age, Was
admitted into our Infirmary, having a complaint in one of
his legs; a mortification took place, and on Sunday he
died. In the near prospect of death, SToaas's mind ap-
pears to have been haunted by a terrible crime of his early
years ; in moments of delirium he appeared frequently to
revert to a murder in which he had been concerned. Had
this idea been confined to the temporary aberrations of in-
tellect, perhaps little at ra • col Id have been hid upon the
fact ; but, in a more collected rn rtnent, he acknowledged
to one of the medical officers that he was concerned in the
murder of GUM3IERY and his family: that he "nobbled„
one of them with a bill-hook—and that the others, who
took a part in the murder, were now dead. The instru-
ment alluded to by Srosas agrees very well with that
which appears to have been used, fur, ell turning to our
Journal of May IS, 1780, we find it stated that the evi-
dence before the Caroner led to the belief that the poor
creatures were "murdered with a hatchet or some such-
like instrument." We thick it, therefore, highly probable
that STOKES'S confession was true, and that all the actors
in the dreadful tragedy have passed into that unseen world
where they must render an account of the "deeds done in
the body."— Wort:elder Journal.
