The infamous paragraphs which have appeared inl
some of the Papers, and particularly in a Morning
Paper of yesterday, in which .the name of the Vis-
tountess DEERHURST is mentioned as having been the
Lily D. who lately exhibited Articles of the Peace
against her husband, cannot be too severely repro.
bitted. The wanton insertion of the respected names
of Lord and Lady DEERHURST to supply the blank
is a scandalous outrage en the feelings of an amiable
and truly happy couple, whose domestic felicity, as
witnessed by all alio have the honour of their ac.
quaintance, cannot be surpassed.
Open house is kept at Cashiobury Park, the seat of
the Marquis of EXETER : the most splendid hospita-
lities prevailed there on Christmas eve and day.—
Among the attractions were the celebrated Old Toot,
an immensely.large barrel of ale, supposed to contain
forry.fOur hogsheads. In addition to the latter were
exhibited about forty other butts, filled with home.
brewed, some of which are not: f a later date than
1811. Sir GEORGE and Lady CORNWALL, their daugh.
ters, and a part of the CAPEL family dined there on
Christmas Day. •
The Earl and Curntess of Jimmy gave an elegant
entertainment on New Year's Day, to a large party
of distinguished fashionables, at their seat, Middleton
Park, Oxfordshire.

A compromise has, we understand, been entered
into between the lodia-house and the General Post-
office, and letters may, according to the new arrange.
ment, be forwarded from the India-house by the ships
about to be dispatched for Bombay and China, on
being previously taxed Is. 2d. per single letter, at the
Ship Letter-office ; but letters for Bengal, Madras,
Ceylon, Isle of France, Cape, Ste. must be forwarded
thioui the medium of the Post-office' which will
dispatch them by the Cornwallis; and the licenced
ships, at the, regular charge. The Cornwallis is ex-
pected to s.iil with the trade for India on or about the
10:h instant.

A letter from St. John's, Newfoundland? •
NoveMber 16, says—" A melancholy accident hap-
pened last night to the ship Five Sisters, from Hali-
fax ; she arrived two days since in the Narrows, had
two anchors and a good hawser fastened to the outer
buoy : late last night the wind shifted from the West
to the North East, and blew a gale—one of her cables
parted ; she swung round upon the southern head,
beat in her stern, and soon went down—no lives were
lost. The schooner Bird, of and from hence for the
West Indies, was captured Nov. 14, by die American
privateer Grand Turk."
By the arrival at Liverpool on Sunday of two ships
from Pensacola, we are enabled' to explain the repot t
of successes by the American General JACKSON, in
which it was said 4.00 British were lost. Some time
ago, the Spaniards invited the British to take pos-
' session of Pensacola, the capital of West Florida, and
to protect it against the Americans. The American
General JAcKsos then issued a proclamation, saying,
unless the British retired, he would attack the place.
When the British failed in their attack on the Mobile
they retired to Pensacola. General JACKSON followed
them, having collected S,OOO men for that purpose. I
In consequence of the approach of this force, the Sala-
:mite frigate, with four sloops of war, left Pensacola
with the British troops early in November. The ships
arrived at Liverpool left Pensacola in haste, with im•
perfect cargoes of cotton. They bring no account of
any fighting, though it is probable some skirmishing
took place as the British retired, and the loss of a few
lives may have been exaggerated. The Americans,
it is supposed, will seize upon West Florida, unless
they should dread a war with Spain. New Orleans
is said to be well fortified, and defended by 5,000
Americans. The English force destined against it is
said to amount to 8000.

• It was not (as a paragraph in our Paper of the 2d
instant asserts) a publican, but a cooper, who was
so fortunate to obtain a Prize of £2U,UI►U in the Lot-
tery, in the year 1765. The ticket was bought of
Barnes and Golightly, in Pope's Head-alley, and
the purchase of it confided to the Abingdon coach-
man, to whom the generous cooper gave a new stage-
coach,and four f►ue young hates; to the•person who
sent the intelligence from the Office, he gave a hue..
dred pounds. his other acts of liberality and benevo-
lence are too numerous for insertion.
SMOCKING ACCIDENT.—A most melancholy occur.
rence happened in Bandon, on Sunday se'nnight. It
being Christmas Day, the Roman. Catholic Chapel
was unusually crowded with persons at early service,
when an alai m •was given that the Gallery was giv.
ing way. The greatest consternation and confusion
ensued; numbers were seen leaping from the gallery
into the aisle, and from the windows into the street,
by which many were severely injured and braised ;
and in the crush in coming out of the house, six per-
sons were unfortunately killed, and upwards of thirty
desperately hurt. What renders this citcumstancs
most melancholy is, there being no cause for the
alarm ,but the falling_ of one of the gallery-forms.
The Chapel suffered material injury by the breaking
of windows, doors, railings, itc..esriPapt.
