A most extraordinary circumstance took place, on
Tuesday evening, at Egham, where a concert and
ball was announced to take place in the Assembly
Rooms, for the benefit of a professional gentleman of
St. George's Chapdl; who has a family of infant chil-
dren, and who has been many years deprived of the

a. number of highly approved vocal and instrumental

attended as an audience ! The performer*, after
waiting above an hour after the time announced for

Yesterday the new Sheriffs, Messrs. Beim. and
THORPE, attended by the Court of Assistants of their
respective Companies, proceeded to Guildhall, where
they aver: sworn into office. On their return a most

DELL, at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street. The
cavalcade made a more striking appearance than,
from the shwa ness of the time allowed for preparation,
could have been reasonably expected. The carriages

night. some thousands of persona assembled in a
large field adjoining the town, to witness the ascent
of a most elegant transparent balloon, upwards of
thirteen feet in height, and 9.0 in circumference, made
by an ingenious artist t f Teribridge, ( Mr. Thomas
Vittle.) At three in the afternoon, a small balloon
was sent off as a signal, and to ibew the direction of
the wind, and in half an hour afterwards the large
one ascended, accompanied bye a salute of 10 guns,
and the shouts of the admiring spectators. The bal-
loon at first appeared very unsteady, but seen rising
to a great height and tiling a north-easterly direc-
tion, it entered a large dark eland, and was no more
visible to the spectators at Tunbridge. It was shortly
after seen by the inhabitants of the lower part of Had-

SLAVE TRADE—Since the abolishment of the sliye'
trade by the Parliamtnt of Great Britain, the Spa.
niards and Piatugue ie have carried it on to a greater
extent than ever. Spani,ll Cuba, and the I' irtuguese
Brazils have been extending their cultivation hy means
of a vast irfetx of darns from Africa. From the Gth
report of the African Institution, it appears that from
70 to 80;000 negroei have been carried to Cuba and
the Brazils witbia the space of a single year. Bissano,
a Iktie island at the mouth of the Rio Grande, is
made the entre/tot for slave merchants, and totbat island
they smuggle over ivegrues- trout all parts of the
toasts. • It is stated thit the country on beth banks
of the Rio Grande in quite unreopled by the slave
trade.— Connecticut Courant.

BERWICK, Ocroacit I4.—The seamen of this port,
following the example of- their brethren in Newcastle
and other ports, on Saturday last made a demand on
their employers fur additional wages, which being re-
fused, they positively declined going to sea, and forci-
bly compelled all those seamen that have arrived since
that day to join them. On Saturday and Monday
nearly one hundred extra constables were sworn in to
preserve the peace, in case the sailors should-become
riotous, but they have hitherto conducted themselves
hi the most orally manner, only persisting in their
demands. he ship-owners have had several inter-
views with them without effecting a reconciliation.

Dunt.nr, Oar. Is.—The three persons who were
convicted under the Insurrection Act at Clonniel.
and sentenced to transportation, arrived in Cork cn
Friday night, and on Saturday were shipped on board
the convict-ship for Botany Bay—thus, between the
sentence and execution of the law, no delay was suf-
fered to intervene.

Wednesday evening the 11th instant, Lavender,
one of the Bow-street Officers, arrived at the Head
Police Office, in Dublin, having in custody Richard
Bolin, who has been aid4rtised in the public. prints,
forembezzling a letter our of the Pust-offi‘e it Sfiine,
in Staffordshire, about five weeks since. He was ap-
prehended in an obscure lodging. at Naas. •,
On the 7th instant the lu'jse of a man named Han-
dihee, about four miles from Kdbeggan, was at-
tacked for arms. He made a stout resistance, by
tiring on the assailants. They returned the lire, but
finding that mode of attack unsuccessful,' tiler set
fire to the house, from which he ruslietcnie; and
escaped with infinite difficulty. '" • . •
LlNtunicK, OCT. 14.—The Special 'Corbinission at

tice to such persons as are disposed to save themselves
from the effects of the Insurrection Act, now in force
in the Liberties, to deliver up, within 48 hours, all
arms, ammunition, or offensive weapons they may
have in their possession.—Friday night, some hours
alter sun-set, Major Wilson and the Rev. Richard
Cox, apprehended J. Hew it, near Cahircunlish, for
having concealed fire arms in his house.—Thursslay
night the insurgents burned the house of David Cole,
at Kilbreedy, (a yeoman in the Henry corps.) The
same fellows attacked J. Chit's house, _convenient to
Kilbrecdy, and were much disappointed in not finding
the owner at home, as they avowed that their inten-
tion was to shoot him. Clift, on hearing the approach
of the party, escaped through a back door.—A me-
lancholy occurrence took place yesterday, at Pallis
Kenry, in this county. Mr. William Hill,/ son of
Mr. William Hill, sen. of that place, whilst in a
°origami, with a serjeant of the 74th regiment,
staßgned there, received a ball from a musket which
the serjeant held in his hand, ifs-rather an elevated
position—it passed in at the right eye, and protruded
at the extremity of the head—he dropped, and in-
stantly expired. The agonies* of the man who had
thus innocently "deprived, of life an amiable uaolieid-
iag youth, would be difficult to describe.
