RAMSGATE, JUNE 10.

The Sd Hussars, which arrived here from Deal to
embark for the Continent, have had another duty to i
perform. The seamen of the transports, now here,
have been for some time murmuring about an increase
of wages, alleging that their owners had not fulfilled
their promises in this respect, but on Monday their
murmurs broke out into direct acts of insubordination
and mutiny. The number assembled in our streets
on Tuesday became so alarming, that an express was
sent off to the Admiral in the Downs, who instantly
dispatched some impress gangs and a party of ma-
rines—the most refractory were secured, and safely
lodged in the barracks, which, however, their corn-
rades would have forced, but for a charge of the
Hussars, under the direction of the Magistrates. This
had the effect of dispersing them, but only a few have
yet returned to elm. duty.

Wednesday last the Election for the Boroughs of °
Weymouth and Melcomb Regis ended, when Lord
CRANDOURN, WILLIAM URE, and CIMISTOPHER IDLE,
Esqrs. were declared duly elected—Mr. STEWARD
and Mr. WILLIAMS having resigned.
SHOCKING FIRE.—A letter from Dublin, of June 7,
says:—" It is really painful to reflect, that the many
instances recorded in our Public Journals of the dan-
ger to be apprehended from leaving candles care-
lessly burning, have so little effect in impressing the
necessity of greater caution in this respect. In con-
sequence of such shameful negligence, a dreadful fire
was occasioned, at an e.trly'hour this morning, in the
house of a publican, of the name of Barnes, in Denzil-
street; by which it was totally consumed, and, (me-
lancholy to relate!) five persons became victims to
that all-devouring element. Tt was with the greatest
difficulty that the engines of the Insurance Companies
prevented the flames from extending to the adjoining
buildings. The bodies of the miserable sufferers, in.
eluding two young women, daughters of a letter-car-
rier, are lying in the neighbouring watch-house, until
the holding of an inquest."
If the following statement, which we copy from a
Morning Paper, be correct, it places the conduct of
Austria in a strange point of view—at least at the
time of the transaction to which it alludes ; but the
date of the event is not stated :
" Mr. BOUGHTON, a Gentleman of eminence, was entrusted
by Mr. 1.1sTo:;:, our Ambassador at Constantinople, with dis-
patches for Lord CASTLERCAGII : he came through Vienna.—
When lie arrived iu that City, he was told by the Police he must
suffer his dispatches to be examined : on his refusal, he was con-
fixed in a dungeon, denied pen, ink, and paper; even his pen-
knife and snuff-box taken from him, and on the sixth day of his
confinement, the emissaries of this friendly andhalf-allied Govern-
ment were proceeding to open the dispatches by force, on which
Mr. BOUOUTON (who had no other means of opening a direct
communicat;on with the Austrian First Minister) tore up the
fluor of his dungeon, and with a little bit of wood, which he bur-
ned into charcoal, wrote a remonstrance on another bit of board
to Count METTERNICH, stating he was an English Gentleman
charged with dispatches for his Government; that nothing should
induce him to suffer these dispatches to be forced from him, and
that if the Austrian Government proceeded in these acts of vio-
lence, the time might come when his Government might severely
retaliate. Upon this remonstrance Count MCTTZRNICH sent an
order for Mr. BOUGHTON'S liberation. But had Mr. Bo 011 TON
shewn less firmness and determination, the Austrian Govern-
*mut would have possessed themselves of the English dispatches.'•
