Extract of a lettter from Lloyd's Agents at Havre, dated 14th
May :—" We beg to acquaint you, that in addition to the Signal
Post established by us on the tower of this City, and at Point
La Heve, we have lately placed another Post at Blzville, which
commands the view of VtobtiS approaching Havre as far down as
Cape Antifer. These Posts form a continued telegraphic line,
by which means we are enabled to obtain the earliest intelli-
gence of the appearance of vessels; and wbich establishment
has been considered of much utility by the merchants of this
place. We hope shortly to have so announce to you the comple-
tion of a line of Telegraph Signals between Ilourdeaux and the
sea, which has been finally decided on by this Government, and
is at present in train, agreeably to the plan which has been sub-
mitted by us."

Accounts from Malaga of a recent date, state that
public opinion is very much divided in that city ; the
respectable part of the Spaniards strongly call out for
a government similar to the British Constitution.
A conspiracy to restore the old Government had been
detected, and several pikes and guns concealed in the
neighbourhood discovered. One fine young man,
charged-with being implicated in the plot, was shot.
Six persons convicted of piracy on the Spanish
coasts had been seized and condemned to death.
They were decapitated in the public square of Malaga,
their legs and arms severed from their body and
thrown into a cauldron of boiling oil, and their heads
exposed in the public plAces.
We understand from a correspondent at Seville,
that DOWN'S has been dismissed from his
situation, as Keeper of the KING'S Palace, by order
of the Cortes.

This day (17th May, 1823), at eleven o'clock, a
new Contract for a Lottery of 20,000 Tickets, to be
drawn in one Lottery, was taken by Messrs. J. and
S. RICARDO, Messrs. Mtevuts and Co. and Messrs.
MAURERT and Co. at 131. Bs. per Ticket. • As it was
understoOd to be an open Lottery, by which the
Public will have the Tickets cheaper by many pounds
than in any Lottery for twenty years, it immediately
bore a considerable preMium at the Stock Exchange.
A melancholy accident occurred on Tuesday, at
Chester. A young gentleman named YATE, accom-
panied by two friends, Mr. BRAIIAM and Mr. HUN-
TER, went in Mr. Y.'s boat on the Dee, when, in con-
sequence of the violence of the wind,
.it was upset.
Mr. BRAHAM and Mr. HUNTER succeeded in gain-
ing the land, but Mr. PATE was drowned, and al:
though the body was speedily recovered and every
means of resuscitation tried, proved ineffectual. Mr.
PATE was a remarkably feat less young man, 24 years
of age. Last year he made a trip to the Isle of Man
in a slight boat, and .this year intended a voyage to
Dublin in a small skiff.

The account in the papers of a dreadful accident
at Bryncoed colliery, by which six men are stated to
have been killed, is entire:), without foundation.--
The narrative was given to the editor of the county
"paper in which it appeared by 'an impostor, who le-
vied contributions on several humane persons at
Chester, in aid of the families supposed to have been
left destitute by this accident.
The Nem I imes is pleased to sa that it was " ne-
cessity, and net choice," that led NA to ascend the
44
Ter, by Bassaro. It is not wise i t thus to contra-
dict M. VILLELE ; people will begin to suspect thit
it lias lost, his countenance. Has not his Excellency
proclaimed that MINA gave the Fiench troops the
slip, and had left them two davemarch behind them ?
'Call you this compulsion? We will leave the World
"to judge whether it be not, in more senses than one,
as choice a manoeuvre as ever partizan accomplished.
A wag seeingCOBBIETT'S account of his journey
from London to Worth, observed; that the trld'Man
