PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH
EMPIRE.
PLYMOUTH WEEKLY JOURNAL, MAY 26.

His Majesty's steamer African, Lieut. J. .Harvey, arrived cek Seam
tiny from the Mediterranean, last from Falmouth, where the
her mails. She kit Falmouth on her passage out on the Stb
sod, after touching at Cadiz, Gibraltar, and Malta, arrived at on
the 211th. On her return homewards, she arrived at Malta RN the Si
May, and at Gibraltar on the 11th, which she left on the 141 h. The
Rainbow was at Corfu, where she relieved the Palate. TM Phi.
towel left Gibraltar on the llth for Naples; the Melville fret Pliesso
on the 14th, so also the Britannia, Kent, and as a eauliss.
On the 13th, the greater :part of the
tigeh
that lurked about the garrison and bay were to aniVisei
board the English polacre brig North Star, 'chin so mom there to
Algiers, and the same evening they weighed anehoe raw the awl
of die Wasp. It was expected that the Spanish wheals% ets *Lk
of the unceasing exertions 011 our part to rid the gerriseo of the
Constitutionalists, would soon reopen the cummuuication througli
the lines with Spain ; but It appears that they declined doing so until
a Spanish General Officer, who had taken refuge in the garrison, and as
English officer, in the Hon. E.l.C.'st service, who had takoic....=
oldie part in the late attempts, had left. The former lay
ad could not be found ; the latter, being a British subject, asset,
Wo understand, be ordered out of Gibraltar. A 12-gun brig, soder
Ihtsain papers, was lying opposite the Custom-house, and belonged. It
was suppoeed, to the Constitutionalists. It was requested to be de-
Mined by the Truman Government, to whom the circumstance had been
communicated. The Constitutionalists, it would appal., have worked
themselves up to a pitch of desperation, and talkal openly of another
attempt in the course of the year. The lion. Mr. King (son of Lord
Elng,) and Capt. Anstruber, 73d regt. came home passengers in the
African.
Ilk Majesty's sloop Harpy, 10 guns, Commander J. P. D. Laroont,
arrival on Sunday from thell'est Indies, having left Jamaica on the
4th of April. She has completed a period of three years' service en
that station ; and although constantly in the most unhealthy parts
of it, has only lost two men front the epidemic of that country.
This may, wider Pnovinzues, be attributed to her being so
much employed at sea. The island of Jamaica had been suff'ering
from the scarcity of dour; the small pox, too, had made its ap.
mr. ance with considerable virulence, and was supposed to have
been Introduced by a vessel from Saint Thomas's, which bad put
into Alorant Bay. A very fortunate supply of vaccine matter had been
obtained from Cuba in season : much to the honour of the Spaniards,

ing colonies. Sir Willoughby Cotton had arrived and taken the
command of the troops. The remainder of the 91st regiment may
be :hourly expected in England. The following was the disposition
of our squadron at the time of the Harpy's departure : The Win-
chester, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Culprit's, was at Port
!Zand was to sail on the following day with the Bishop of Ja-
ell, on a visit to the north side of the island ; thence she will pro-
ceed to Bermuda, and thence to this port (Plymouth), to repair
the damages she sustained in getting ashore; her detention in England
will not probably exceed three months, when she will return to her sta-
tion. The Blanche was at Nassau, takhig on board provisions for Ja-
maica, the squadron having for sonic time been upon half allowance!of
bread and flour; the great shipments from the United States for Eng.
land caused this scarcity, and flour had risen to 30 Spanish dollars per
barreL The Shannou was at Bermuda for the Wile purpose. The Aler.
my and Monkey were at Vera Crus ; the former may be expected home
neat month. The Ranger, from the Gulphof Mexico, had gone to Der.
muds to refit. The Grasshopper, Commander Erskine, was at Puerto
Cabello; the Hyacinth, Commander Oldlcy, and lama, Commander
Stewart, at Cardiagena--in consequence of fresh commotions In that
unhappy country • the Bparrowbawk, Commander Mayne. at Santa
Martha; the Rose, Commander Pilkington, at Maracaibo; the Chant-
Sun, Commander Cotton; at Chagres ; the Centel's, Cominautler 110-
tham, and Falcon, Commander Smith, were at Pod Royal. the latter
intended for New York, with specie. The Kangaroo schooner, Lieut.
Hookcy, was a: Jamaica refitting, having sughrod very severely from
bet voyage on the Coast of Brasil.
By a letter from his Majesty's ship Philumel, which arrived at Tou-
lon on the 7th inst. we learn that the following was the disposition of
the Mediterranean fleet on the 30th of April: At Malta, Britannia,
120, Capt. W. J. H. Johnstone, with Admiral Alalcolni's flag flying ;
Ganges, 84, Capt. G. Burdett; Kent, 78, Captain S. Pyin, and Mel.
Mlle, 74, Captain C. W. Nesham. In the Archipelago, Madagascar,
46, Captain K Lyons ; Alligator, 28, Captain Sir C. York; Raleigh,
18, Commander A. Hawkins ; Pelican, 18, Commander J. Gape;
Bernet, 10, Commander E. Wodehouse ; Mastiff, 6, Lieut.-Can. J.
Wok, and Meteor. 8, Come If. Copeland. At Tripoli—Scylla, 18:
Connuander, J. Ilindtuarsh. At Corfu—Rainbow, Captain Sir J.
Franklin ; and Procris, 10. Conimantlet W. Griffiths (act.) At Con.
stantinopk Hind, cutter. The Russian squadron was at Pores. His
Majesty's brig Wasp, 10, Commander B. Popham, sailed from Malta,
on the 26th April, lot Libialtar.
The duties heretofore performed by the Clerk of the Cheque and
storekeeper in his Majesty's victualling yards arc to helm-necked] con.
solidated In the office of storekeeper. In conformity with this arrange.
ment we understand that Mr. A. Brady, Clerk of the Cheque at Dept.
ford Victualling Yard, is appointed storekeeper at Cremil Point,
Stonehouse, to perform the duties hitherto performed by Messrs. Bal.
cock and Janes; and Mr. T. T. Grant, Clerk of the Cheque at Wee.'
vil Victualling Yard, is appointed storekeeper at the saws yard, to per.
form the duties hitherto performed by himself and Mr. Mends. The
salary of tthe Clerk of the Cheque at Weevil, was 4001. and 501. was
allowed him forj house rents. These alterations will therefore
effect a saving to the amount of 8501 annually in these two yards. All
the stores arc to be cleared from the old victualling yard by Aug. 1.
in the intermediate time the whole of the buildings will be sold.
The burning cliff at Holworth, near Weymouth, isnow becoming an
object of particular attention. Fissures have, within the last fortnight,
opened, discharging vapour, at another part, about five hundred feet to
the westward of the long line of apertures which have for some time
past been in active operation ; and we have no doubt, from
...personal
observation at a recent visit, that this additional irruption of vapours
will prove at least as interesting as at any preceding period since its
first discovery in March 1827. Such a succession ea changes of aspect
and materials as have occurred during the dine above stated, with the
uninterrupted discharge of vapour and occasional appearance of fire,
form such an era in geological research, as well as In natural history, as
cannot fail to Interest the man of science, and, while it engages gene.
yak the attention, must make a deep and effective impression on the
mind of the philosopher.
Mirtima.—At nu period do we remember so much success as at pre.
sort attends on mining speculations in our neighbourhood. Besides a
number of tin, copper, and lead mines, now In profitable working
within twenty milesi of Plymouth, several others are in a promising
Mate of progress. Among the latter, a lode of silver lead, recently cut
In the Barton of Tinnell, near Cargreen, may be presumed to take the
lead in importance, as there is no doubt of its being a continuation of
the famous South Heave lode, (worked on the opposite side of the River
Tamar,) which made such princely returns to the Bectulaton Mining
Company.
INTREPID CONDUCT AND RESCUE racist Daowxixo.—On
Saturday evening last, as Mr. Hingston, jun. of Son theide-strect, Ply-
mouth, was passing through Richmond IValk, he saw a number of per-
sons collected at the watcr.side, who were endeavouring to render as-
sistance to a buy about ten years of age, struggling in apparent ex-
haustion on the surface of the water. As none of them could swim,
their efforts were likely to prove ineffectual, bad not Mr. Dingston, on
coming up. inuttediately thrown off part of his dress, and plunging
into the water, laid hold of the poor boy, whom he thus gallantly
rescued front impending death.
WRESTLING ON THE Hoe.--The Whitsuntide sports commenced
on Monday last, and the weather !teeing been very favourable, the at-
tendance on each day has been numerous and respectable. The sports,
tinder the superintendence of Pulkinhom, have given general satiafac-
don, end much spirit has been manifested. l'ilonelay, and the greater
part of Tuesday, were passed in making standards.
Alas. Ill'KeasT, AND TIM DOUBLE-SIGHTED BROTHERS.
This family, who have excited so much admiration, have been exhibit.
Ina their astonishing powers at the Freemason's Hall, and to several
families of distinction in these towns, since Monday. Mrs. 111,Kean
called at our office and gave us a specimen of her powers, which cer-
tainly astonished us : she stood at a distance with her back towards us,
and accurately told the time by two watches, described them whether
gold or silver, the number of web, the colour of the stones in them,
and the engravings on the stones. Several other articles she described
with perfect ease. She has two sons who possess the same faculty of
" double sight." The performance is cer,ainly wonderful ; there did
not appear to be any collusion between her and her husband. If rrac.
Ike has brought them to the knowledge they possess, there never hap-
pened, in any case, the attainment of more perfection.
Poarsuonria—The Donegal, 78, Captain Dick, arrived on Thum-
day from the Downs, to remain at Spitliead until the departure of the
squadron, of which it will form one, under the command of Sir Edw.
Codrington.
The Wellesley, 74, Capt. Rowley, was towed out of harbour for the
seme purpose on Monday, by the Columbia steamer.
As the Asia, Captain liyde Parker, (the flag-ship of the Commander
in. Chief at this port,) will constitute one of the squadron under Sir
F.d ward Codrington, and will go out of harbour in a day or two, for
that purpose, the Spartiate, 76, will, in the Asia's absence, receive
Sir Thomas Foley's flag ; this ship will not, however, enter any men.
Coon. Foley. a Lieutenant, and a boat's crew of the Asia, will be left
behind, and a party of Marines only, will be attached pro teseporo to
the Spartiate.

WILL4III2IIIIING AT WIRLIWORTII.—On Whit Wednesday, the
various rills in Wirksworth were decorated very prettily with the
flowers of the season. The one in Bt. John-street was very ingeniously
and tastefully ornamented. It bore a represented= of Moses
the rock, and the water running out. A variety of inscriptions ad
mottos were formed, with daisies and other flowers, which presented a
ray pleasing appearance..—There were two rills elegantly set outin the
Dale - one at the bottom with a representation of oar Saviour,which was
very alifully delineatcd,with an inscription on one side "Drink and thirst
no more," and on the other, " Christ is the spring of life" The upper
till very evidently showed more dlsnhty. and was considerably more
extensive: Adam and Eve were neatly fignred with white daisies,
standing one on each side the tree of life, hearing an inscription
" Illeesetl be the Lord of Hosts, lie is 00D." Another rill was clothed
in a very neat manna on the Northern-end, which was praised by
every beholder. The whole of thou were thought to surpass any thing'
of the kind at Tissit,gton, and no doubt the Wieksworth well-droWng
will be In future honoured with the attendance of the nobility and
gently around.—The well at Coney Bank was also so beautifully
embellished with flowers that it was not put into the back ground by
the neighbouring wells at Wirksworth—Moses, and the children of
Israel, were ted with daisiex, and tasteful' adorned with other
flowers. OnreEslron centre at the top,, GOD save the King and Queen"
was formed in red daisies, and " Reform and Liberty" in white daisies,
with several other inscriptions, dud produced universal admiration.
" Goo save the King" was inscribed on every rill, that was dressed in
Wirkswort h.

GRAND FESTIVAL AT LEICESTER.-4 public dinner to celebrate
the triumph of independent principles, was lucid in the New Cricket
Orounit yesterday. M. B.bington, Esq. the intimate friend of Wm.
Evans, Esq. 91. P. for the Borough, presided on the occasion, and was
supported on his tight and left by T. Paget, Esq. 91. P. for the county,
Wynn Rills, Esq. Al. P. for the Borough • Gisborne, Esq. bro.
thee of the member for Stafford. Admiral Tatham, and is great number
of the most respectable inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood.
W. Evans, Esq. was unavoidably absent. The number of electors
who sat down to dinner, consisting of roast beef and plum-pudding,
was about ,hrce ihousand persons. The tables were anauged in ad.
mini& order. and the utmost satisfaction every where prevailed. An
excellent band, and a choir of 2150 in number, added much to the
pleasure of the day by the performance of the national anthem and
several other favourite airs, which were responded to by the voices
of the asr-embkd thousands, with a fervour and feeling quite
enthusiastic. A gallery on the right and left of the choir was 6Ued
by some hundreds of fashionably dressed females, who seemed
to take a lively Interest in what was passing before them,
and whose appearance added much to the joyous scene. It is
calculated that not less than twenty thousand persons were
present, anti it is gratifying to say that not a single unpleasant circum-
stance occurred, to east even a gloom over an event quite unprecedented
at Leicester; and which, we believe. has had no parallel in any pro.
vincial town In the kingdom, Birmingham Political Dinner, last
year. excepted. Perfect harmony and good feeling reigned through.
out the day. The weight of beef provided for the occasion, was three
thousand pounds; and pudding, two thousand five hundred pounds, in
snaking which there tas consumed thirty stones of flour 904 lbs. of
bread, 2010 ohs. of suet, 800 lbs. of plums, 400 lbs. of sugar, 1600 eggs,
260 quarts of milk, and six gallons of brandy, exclusive of spices I
We have been told on good authority, that an individual, residing
not a thousand miles from Sheffield, received a short time ago a letter
fruit, a town on the east side of the kingdom, of which he is an elector,
enclosing not a Norwich crape shawl for his wife, but a 601. note,
which he was instructed to retain if he chose to vote for two most un-
popubr candidate., or to return it if he was otherwise disposed. The
Indignant elector returned the bribe, either because his snare " Inde-
pendence," being just turned into May grata, be did not care to saddle
her in such service, or because ho had objections, as well to the weather
as to the hill, whim he was expected to encounter at his journey's end.

DUMFRIES COURIER, MAY 24.
- - --

On Saturday evening, the Grand Committee of the seven Inempora.
dons met in thc 'fades' Hall, and after divers spirited speeches and'
" lots" of disssion, agreed that the whole of the Trades should
muster at an early hour on Monday morning, and proceed in a body to
Gasstown, with drums beating and colours flying, for the purpose of
esawilng General Sharpe and the Annan delegate to the scene of action. I
Accordingly the younger part of the Trades departed at seven o'clock,
followed by a countless crowd of spectators, and at eight the masters
and journeymen followed with insignia waving, in marching order. That
no mistake or confusion might arise, an express was sent to Annan and
Hoddam Castle; and at the time appointed General Sharpe was seen
approaching in an open carriage, accompanied by Sir Patrick Maxwell,
Mat. Mr. Murray of Murraythwaite, and Mr. Hotchkis of Edinburgh.
The Annan delegate. Mr. Scott, Provost Irving, and Mr. Parrish,
brought op the rear in a handsome vehicle • and instantly the horses
were loosed front the carriages, and the parties drawn into town by we
know not how many pairs of brawny and willing arms. After a few
minutes' deliberation, the procession was arranged with military peed.
sine; and the reader may judge of the numbers that attended, when we
state that the road front Gasstown to the Old Chapel—a mile and 1. we
should suppose at least—was one dense mass of human beings. Alto.
gether the procession had a very imposing appearance, and far exceeded
as we have been informed by very old inhabitants, anything of the
kind that ever was witnessed in this town. No fewer than forty-three
banners waved in the air, some of which were splendidly emblazoned;
the hats and button-holes of the whole group, whether members of the
trades or spectators, were profusely decorated with knots of Line, and in
proof of the enthusiasm that prevailed universally, we may here state,
that even the manes and heads of the watemien's hones, and not only
these, but the deckles that bring buttermilk to town, were all, as Davie
Gellately would have said," bray, brew' •" with blue ribbons. At one
part of Lochntabergate in arch, formed of flowers, was thrown across
the street, front which depended a tasteful crown of the same
material ; at almost every window were seen bevies of elegantly dressed
females; the handmaidens enjoyed a peep from the attics, while such as
lacked better accommodation leant against the chimnia: on the house
tops; the boys had laid the woods under contribution, and fanned the
air delightfully as they moved along; and, altogether, General Sharpe's
entry into the town of Dumfries was, in every sense of the word, a
niumphal procession. Of the total number of persons that attended
it is impossible to form a guess, far less a correct estimate ; our own
population was of course greatly swellal by importations from the
country, and perhaps there is no exaggeration in the statement which,
we tindersuirdl is made by many, that the crowd antounted in all to
from six to eight thousand persona.
Between eleven and twelve the two candidates, accompanied by the
Shoff, and other gentlemen, walked to the Court House, and, :al-
though no vecidert occurred, a few blackguards behaved very badly.
When Mr. Douglas had seated himself, the yelling, hissing, and
uproar commenced, and thought die Sheriff. General Sharpe, and
several gentlemen, earnestly besought the audience to allow the pro-
ceedings to go on. it was all to no purpose.
The clerks, notwithstanding that every word was inaudible, pro.
ceeded with the formalities. such as reading the writ, the bribery act,
administaing the oaths, ate. While the delegates were thus getting
themselves qualified, the uproar, which had partially subsided, again
commenced with redoubled violence, and the groans whitin were loudly
respondedto by the yelling flout without, and the sounds which broke
on the ear were the wildest that can be well imagined. Shouts of
" Bribery," " Perjury," &c. &c. were beard front every part of the
house, and many extremely unseemly allusions were made to the
influence of a certain great nobleman,—particularly as regards
Lochmuben.

The votes were then taken, when the delegates from Kirkcudbright,
Sanqultar, and Loehmaben voted for Mr. Keith Douglas, and those
from Dumfries and Annan in favour o; General Sharpe.
Mr. Douglas then ruse and spoke a few sentences, but the yells,
groans, hisses, and exclamations with willed he was received, would
have utterly overwhelmed the voice of the most stentorian-lunged
orator that ever fretted his bout on a hosting%
The Sheriff; after an effort to make himself heard, stated to the u-
semblage that the business of the day was concluded, and however
much they had disturbed others, they themselves had certainly not been
interrupted. Be hoped they would retire in peace and quietness.
(Loud ;ties of " Let him nut go to Parliament and say he is our re.
presentative."—" Bribery."—" Let us have the Lochinaben delegate.")
The Sheriff again spoke--if they really wished to promote the meet.
sure which they appeared so ardeut to obtain, the best course to pursue
was to show respect to the law as it was now constituted--they would
thus prove that they were worthy of receiving the benefits which the
legislature might bestow.
The audience then gave way, though reluctantly, and mingled the
confusion of their exit, with many unseemly remarks regarding Loch-'
molten. Mr. Douglas, with the delegates who voted for him, retired
by a back door, which leads to a street in the rear of the Court-house,
and immediately entering a carriage, which was in waiting, drove of
with all speed. General Sharpe was met at the door of the Hall by a
mass such as never before lined Buceleueb-street. Every head was
untovered—every hat waved in the air; and the cheering was hearty

DUBLIN MORNING REGISTER, MAY 24.

The number of persons who have emigrated from Ireland this year
has been greater than at any former period, and the influx seems to
have no other intermission than is created by the paucity of shipping
offering to take passengers. The tide appears to set almost entirely to.
wards British America, and the old feeling in favour of the states to be
quite abandoned. There is now lying at the Brickflelds, a very fine
' vessel, MO tons burthen, built by Mr. Knight, and launched but about
three weeks. She was scarcely noted to sail for Quebec, when more
passengers were offering than even with her ample room she could take.
She will clear out, we understand, in two or three days, taking with her
over three hundred persons, men, women, and children, whose pre.
paradons for embarking themselves and whatever moveables they can
transport, present a scene of great bustle and industry.—Southern
Reporter.
Major Rose, who commanded the military In Marion-square on Fri.
day night, was examined yesterday morning at the Head Police.c&e,
and deposed that he arrived opposite to Mr. North's house on Ftidsy
night, with six dragoons, when a person appeared at the balcony wit it
a gun in his hand, which he presented at the crowd and discharged;
that immediately after, he (the witness) heard that a woman was
shot ; that when the shot was fired, he and the six dragoons
were opposite to the house, and that there was a detachment of the
29th infantry opposite to Mr. O'Connell's house, (next door to Mr.
North's,) and another detachment at the distance of a few doors, on the
same side; that there was not the least danger of any attack on the
house ; that there was no rioting ; that the crowd consisted of respect-
able persons, two-thirds of whom were women ; that a window was
broken immediately before the shot was fired, and, he added, that he
did not expect that any person could fire on the crowd on so trivial a
provocation.
ANOTHER WOMAN &WT....Miring the night of the illumine.
dons, a poor woman named Mary Redmond, was shot in the face by
a Mr. Armstrong, who was firing from the back windows of his bottle
In Holles.street, between the hours of eight and nine o'clock. An in.
vestigation into the case took place yesterday in College-street once,
when Mr. Armstrong was bound in 500 L and two sureties in 1001.
each, to stand his trial at the Sessions Court. (The name of the
person charged for firing out of the house of Mr. North, is Arm-
strong also.)
On Friday morning, between two and three o'clock, a party of the
Queen of Spades' followers, attacked the houses of Denis Ml3labon
and Thomas Dineen, two of Mr. Arthur's tenants, at Ballydae, in the
county of Clare, both of whom were severely beaten, and sworn to
give up the ground held by them, In ail days. The small farm NM
by them is in the possession of Bl'Mahon and his family, for thirteen
years, taken by them on being given up by a defaulting tenant, who
left the farm, and came to reside in Limerick, heavy in arrear—Liew•
rick Chronicle.

A poor widow, with several children, occupying another small fats
on part of Mr. Arthur's estate, was also visited about three weeks ago,
and notice left warning her to give up her holdings to the former eta.
pants from whom the interest was purchased by her husband's family
24 years ago, and not having complied she was again visited a few
nights after, and sworn to give up the lands, but not having dose se,
the poor woman having no place with her family to go to—oo Tues.
day night last, these legislators paid her a third visit, with the evident
intention of murdering or ill treating her, but she escaped by con-
cealing herself under the bedtick where she and her mother lay. The
fellows lit a candle, searched the house, and with a pistol threatened
to shoot one of her children unless she discovered where the mother
was, but disappointed they departed, with a threatening warning, hay.

Foam Oxen or Rossia.—Professor Fischer, of Moscow, has de-
scribed two new species of fossil oxen, from Siberia. Thebes lotifroes,
with a large forehead, horns straight at the base, palate much dilated,
and the dos conaliculalus, having toms very close together at their
base, and separated by a straight deep channel.
Tiraxarxwixo Noricts.—Several notices to the growers of to.
Wow in this city and its vicinity, have been served within the last few
Idays, threatening to destroy the crop in case the process of transplant-
