A detachmentotf the 14th Light Dragoons arrived at Bristo!
on Sunday, the 2:ti instant, from Ireland ; and some companie,
of the 15th Regiment of Infantry marched into that city on
Wednesday, the 36th instant, from Plymouth, on their route
to Cheater.

One company of the lit Rifle Brigade, quartered in New-
castle, have left that town fur Killmallock, where they are to
be stationed:
The two troops of the 3d Light Dragoons, which marched
into Waterford on Thursday weuhight, under Lieutenant Colonel
Huremits, with the Staff of the Regiment, will remain on shore,
waiting for a fair wind to embark. The last troop of the 10th

About 300 men of the 15th Regiment of Foot marched through

which marched from thence a few weeks since for that place.
Four soldiers belonging to the Cavalry Depot at Maidstone,
voluutarily subscribed .e.tiO fur the relief of the distressed Irish,
being their share of a seizure of contraband spirits..

By the death or the Earl of On FORD, and the suc-
cession of the Member for Lynn to the Peerage, a
vacancy in the Repiesentation of that town occurs.
The Hum JOHN WALPOLL, son of the late Ertl, and
Sir M. B. FOLKES, son ot the late Member of tha:
name, .are the candidates; and as there has been in
contest for forty years, owing, it is said, to the coa-
lition of the families interested in the Borough, .he
tol,vn is in no :mall state of bustle—the C4,r1.0t a-
tion, generally sl,eaking, espousing Mr. WALPOLI,
while Sir M. B. FOLKES is the popular candidate.—
The election commenced on Thai sday, but so steal
a spirit of insubordination and riot was manifesto,
that it was deemed expe-lient to call in the aid of the
Yeomanry Cavalry, and, in consequence of an express
to Colonel Epoan, tequiring the aid of the Regiment
under his command, the 2d troop marched ttom Ips-
wich and neighbourhood at an early hour yesterday
morning to Stowmarket, on their route to Lynn.—
Colonel EDOAR'S Regiment was to halt at Brandon
last evening.
Yesterday JAMES CHAPMAN, E,q. late one ot :he
West India Commissioners, attended at the Treasury,
and was sworn in a Commissioner of the Auditor's
Board, Somerset House.
Government has at length determined on the
removal of the Custom House from Sandwich to
Ramsgate. JAMES Etiotosinz, Esq. Collector of
Penryn, in Cornwall, is now there, directing the
fitting-up of proper offices, &c. to receive the esta-
blishment, for the purFose of conducting the busine,:-
cf. the port in future.

We understand that the magnificent paintings in the grand
entrance hall at Wanstead House have been purchased at the
auction by Fiawais WYLLNAM MARTIN, Esq. formerly of Chat-
combe Priory, to be placed in his princely residence at Leeds
Castle, in the comity of Kent. These noble paintings, three i.:
numb::r, are 16 feet 10 inches-high, and 12 feet 10 inclis with.
f.:ASSALI came from Italy with numerous attendants, and re-
mained at Wanstead House during two years to compltre
chefs d'oeuvres of his celebrated pencil. One represents Cairoin-
/MI overcome b;/ the entreaties if his Mothcr. Wife, and Ciiii.l).elo ;
another, the Return of Cleslia and ether ,Ifuiden llostages to the IL,
man Camp; the third, Pompey ,akin,;, leave of his wife arne:in.
The colossal statue of the Duke of WiLLINGTON, is now re-
moving from the yard at Pimlico to the place destined for it►
erection in Hyde Perk. A part of the Park wall has been broken
down to afford it admission, and it is slowly moved :dung by
means of capstans and rollers.

It is vow calculated that about 240,000 hands of persons,
chiefly children, are employed in the spinning of cotton-thread
or twist. These make, it is said, as much thread by the power
of steam or water, and the application of the new-improve.
machinery, as could have heen done formerly by 28,000,600 per-
sons by the fingers only.
The Dublin Papers of the 26th inst. arc filled with accounts
of the progress of the famine hi Ireland. We forbear to enter
into the heart-rending details; they present a picture of aggra-
vated misery that must excite pity in the ha-dest heat, and net
to be contemplated without terror by the boldest.

A letter published in the Mayo Constiluhen, and signed
" Dennes Bingham and Robert Scarlett, Clk." states, with re-
gard to Erris, that " thousands have subsisted for some weeks
past upon sea-weed and wild vegetable subsistence, and we ate
firmly persuaded if they continue much longer in this situation,-
that the living yid scarcely be ill/Wad to bury the dead."
The following is part of a letter from a Clergyman in the
county of Galway:
" I an, daily witnessing scenes of more harrowing distress
than eye ever saw, or tongue told. You know the scarcity to
which we have been for some time exposed. Conceive the agony
of each family seeing the stock of provisions decrease daily—no
prospect of relief, and famine rapidly approaching. I had been
labouring in public and in private to preach patience. It was not
necessary.. No reproach was uttered—no angry feeling was
evinced—but families clung together with closer affection, as if
with-the certain knowledge of being soon separated for ever.—
But the slow and horrible death by famine ! At first the hunger
was raging—it then gave place in some to successive faintings and
depression—in others to violent fever—some struggled
others sank at once—but the wasted forms of tke poor creatures
—the glazed eye—the hcllow and sunk cheek !—I have seen, in
the exercise of my duties, father and son dying by each other's
side—and the infant, yet living, hanging upon the breast of its
just departed mother! GOD have mercy upon us, and stop this
dreadful calamity!"

A letter from •Curacoa, dated May 4, says—" Ge-
ne! al Morales has still a considerable force under his
command, and was, according to the last accounts,
on the coast near the Lake of Maracaybo. The last
arrivals from Coro bring accounts that no vessels
would be allowed to touch on the coast in possession
of the Colombians for the space of 14 days. This
measure had been adopted to prevent the escape by
sea of Morales or his troops."

FIRES.—Last night. between ten aid eleven o'clocl:, 7. Fre
broke out in the premises of WHITE, boat-bui:der,
Fuumain-stairs, notherbithe, which hi 4 few minutes became
very alarming, particuLtly on account of the hou-,es near IL lees g
mostly built of wood, and the street, ler passage, scarcely twice
feet A number a engines soon arrived, but, owing to the
scarcity of weer, could render but little service, and the 11 .rnes
continued raging with the utninst fury for about twenty
when the premises were entirely destroyed. About this time :hc
.djoining prentists,.uccupted by Mr. LvaNs as a granary, whicii
were very extensive, and heavily stored, took lire, and burnt so
furiously as to bid defiance to all exertion to extinguish it ; an
the whole of those GaiidinLs were also entirely &grayest, toge-
ther with the stores c,ottatned in them. The Old Justice pubii.:-
house caught fire, but fortunately was soon extinguished by the
exertiens of the firemen ; had this house been consumed, the
consequence Must have been dreadful, as the adjoining hut'dings
are all of wood, and in so confined a situation as to render it al-
most impossible to afford any assistance.
. . .

A most destructive hre broke out last night, between twelve
and one o'clock, in the house of Sir. hi:a ten, siiversmitk an.i
jeweller, at the corner of Adam-street, Adelphi, which quickly
reduced the whole of those extensive and beautiful premises t s
ashes. In the short space of an hour after the fire was disco-
vered the flames had communicated to every floor from the cel-
lar to the attic, and were seen issuing through every casement
into the street. Scarcely an article out of the valuabie property
was saved, owing to the rapid extension of the flames, and the
delay that arose before the porter, the only individual in char:e
of the house, could be alarmed. It was nearly an hour after
the lire burst forth before water in sufficient quantity was pro-
cured, and this, together with the absence of most of the eagiues
at the fire at Rutherhithe, prevented the flames from being got
under as soon as could have been wished. At three o'clock no-
thing but the remnant of the walls and burning spars of the di:-
ferent floors remained. A party of the Foot Guards, from the
King's Mews Barracks, promptly attended on the spot, and
were of essential service in keeping off the crowd for the btttet
playing of the *nines.
Thursday aticr.'oun, a fire broke out in a small wood shed, in
the north-west corner of the farming buildings of .Me. Janzs
Bel oN, jun. at Bullet) Green Farm, in the Parish of Bramfotd,
near Ipswich. It was almost immediately discovered by a fe-
male servant, who had sufficient presence of mind to let the
horses out of the stable, by which act they were all preserveu.
The fire, with inconceivable rapidity, communicated to a she.;,
granary, barn, and stable, all adjoining ;also to two clover stacks,
a bean stack, a quantity of wheat in the straw, tO or 30 coombs
of dressed wheat iu sacks, all of which were consumed, togeth-r
with a tumbril with tares, all the cat t-harness and implewents
in the barn and stable, and a fat hog. It was soon leu;.el im-
practicable to save the farming buildings, which, with the Louse,
form a square. The preservation of :be latter was oh) rttly
efiected, the back-house being destroyed, and a great part of the
roof of the house. The furniture was all got out, but was considi r-
ably injured in the removal. Two men, of suspicious a:irea.--
atice, were observed near the house a short tittle b. tore the tiro
broke out, and no doubt exists but that it was the tn.:Le/heal act
of some incendiaries.
