Friday a party of Light Dragoons halted at the'
'inn at Stoney Cross ; and when they had quitted it,
they observed, that one of their party, mounted on an
Officer's charger, which was especially entrusted to
his care, was not 'with them. Returning foe him,
they found that the hotse had thrown him, and he
was so much hurt that he died before he could be
conveyed into the house. He was a young man of
good character, and had just had a legacy of £l7OO.
Tuesday last, a .desperate affray took place in
Gloucester, between a detachment of volunteers from
a regiment of Irish Militia, who were on their route
for the depot at the Isle of Wight, and a body of
trowmen and others. The dispute originated at the
Swan inn, Westgate-street, where a party of the sol-
diers were quartered, in which some trowmen who
were present interfered ; and this led to an assem-
blage, in the streets, of the partizans on each side,
when a conflict took place, which threatened the
most alarming consequences. On the first appear-
ance of disturbance, however, the Magistrates and
civil power interposed their authority; and being
aided by the personal exertions of Colonel MORGAN
and the officers of the district staff, together with a
' detachment of Captain Mounts's troop of cavalry
(fortunately at that time on duty,) and the perma-
nent staff of the Eastern Local Militia, who were un-
der arms, and paraded the streets during the greater
part of the night, the rioters were dispersed. The
Irishmen resumed their march next morning, without
molestation. At the City Sessions, on Friday, the
thinks of the Magistrates were expressed to the mili-
tary, for the laudable zeal and alacrity with which
thej contributed their assistance on the above occasion.

Sunday evening, between six and seven o'clock, a
cheesemonger's shop, in Lambeth-road, was broken
open during the absence of the family, and robbed of
nearly £l6. The thieves on being alarmed made a
precipitate retreat from the premises, leaving a dark.'
lanthorn, and a quantity of copper, amounting to
between '2O and 430, which they had packed up to
carry off.
A fire broke out about one o'clock on Sunday
afternoon, at a grocer's shop in Blackfriar's road, by
which the 'whole of the interior of the first and second
floors were burnt. The loss in furniture was consi-
derable.
Friday evening, a fire broke out in the bop•kilns of
Mr. R. Hartland, of Temple-court, near Bosbury,
Herefordshire, which destroyed the kilns, together
with a back kitchen, and upwards of a ton of hops.,
The fire was occasioned by die dangerous practice of
' placing a lighted candle against a wall, which falling
j down, communicated to a heap of fresh-dried hops,
and immediately spread with great rapidity.
' At Northallerton Races, on Tuesday last, a boy
was struck on the head by one of the horses as he was
crossing the course during the running for the King's'
Hundred. He expired on Thursday.
A letter, from .New Orleans, dated 12th of July,
.says—e About a week ago we had a most dreadful
conflagration. In the short snace of from two to three
hours ets lewd:sec 50 dtrellng-houses were levelled.,
oaths grayed ; the most of them were occupied by
persons in indigent circumwences. lam happy w;.;
say, that 3000 dollars have already been raised foe
the relief of the poor sufferers, many of whom, to
escape personal danger, were obliged, in their night
dress, to take shelter in their neighbours' houses,
leaving all they had in the world to the mercy of the
flames, which, though little, was, perhaps, the fruit
of a long tedious labour: not a single house w
insured."
' A shocking affray took place in 144 rib-street, Brit-
' tol, on Thursday evening last. A dispute having i
i arisen between some English and a large party of fa
reign sailors, at the Hope and Anchor public-house,
respecting a girl of the town ; some blows were ex-
changed between one of the foreigners and a seaman
named Henry Mutray. The parties were separated,
but afterwards proceeded to the street, where a battle
commenced between the foreign sailor and Murray,'
when the former drew a disk and stabbed Murray be-
low the left breast. The weapon was driven with
such violence as nearly to cut through one of the
ribs, and made a wound sufficiently- large to admit
the whole hand. The perpetrator of this shocking
act fled, with the dagger in his hand, but was pur.
sued and taken as he was about to enter the bar of
the Ship public-house, in the same street, and safely
lodged in Bridewell. Friday a Coroner's inquest was
held on the body, when a verdict of wilful murder
was returned against the foreign seaman., The sur- I Boaalserte wits .

We Yeetetderinaounced the arrival of theMilfnrd
East-Indiaman at Falmouth. By her we learn that
the Cuffnells arrived at Bomb/y the 15th of May,
and was in dock repairing her damages.
The Rebecca sailed from Bombay for England
thd.3lst May. The Fame had sailed with her, but
afterwards put back, and.ivas expected to sail with
the Cornwallis and Sir James Sibbald on the 15th of
June.
•
There were no less than eleven French ships of•
war, of various classes, crnizing in the Indian Seas.
The success of the Expedition against the Isle of
France would leave these marauders without a hiding
hole. ,
The following are the principal articles contained
in Bombay Papers to the 25th May, which,arrived
yesterday :
" Ameer Khan continues his suc:esses against his
rivals. From Calcutta we learn, that authentic ac-
counts had reached that city, fully confirmint the in-
telligence respecting the complete victory obtain ed
by this Chief over his rival" and opponents in the
Court of Holkar. He had succeeded in brioging
over the Bhye to his interests ; and, at the date of the
last accounts, was busily occupied in devising mea-
sures for the payment of arrears due to his troops.—
As soon as this first work shessld be accomplished, it
was supposed that the Khan would endeavour to get
rid of the bands of Pindarees, whose aid had so much
contributed to his success, by directing their force
against Bcindeaa who was moving about with, hie
army in the north-west parts of Malwa, anxious to
avoid the impending visitation. The Ukhbars foe
March mention preparations then going on in the
Ityporte country for the reduction of a fort named
Soojahvas, in which Suwae Juggut Sing, the Rajah,
had undertaken to reinstate the 'l'ackoors of the dia.
trict. For that purpose a small force had been fitted
out, and provided with all the accessary implements
for battering the walls.
44 Roy Chitter Bboj had returned to his allegiance
under the State of Jaypurte, by the persnalien of the
Sirdars.
" On the night of Saturday the 28th of May de.
parted this• life, his Highness Mobarekm-Dowlah.
Nawab of Bengal. The remains of his Highness
were conveyed on the folloattetay, with due solem.
nity, from the Palace at Moo abed to the burial-
place of his family at Jatfiergunge. The eldest son of
the deceased Nawab succeeds to the vacant Mnmud.
" John Gould, a private soldier in his Majesty's
19th Regiment of Infantry, was tried by a Court-
Martial on a charge of mutiny. He was sentenced
, to death, which sentence was carried into execution,
in presence of the troops comprising the garrison of
eulumbo, on the 24th of May.
" The proceedings of the Court Martial at Bangs-
lore closed with the trial of Major Kenny, whom the
Court sentenced to be cashiered.

Captain Gordon, of the CaroEne frigate, has
been brought to trial before a NavalCourt-Martial, on
charges connected with the internal discipline of his
ship. The Court have sentenced him to be repri-
manded, and enjoined to be more circumspect in his
future conduct.

44 Captain Wilson has succeeded in emselling Go.
paul Sing from his principal strong hold in the rern.
tains, a place named Ihughur ; this service was ef•
fected on the 4th of April, after a march of uncotu.
mon difficulty, retarded equally by the ruggedness
and steepness of the ascent, and by the artificial ob.
stacles which the enemy bad constructed. The en.
trance of the fort, however, being once gained, no
further resistance was attempted. Gopaul and his
people fled precipitately by the opposite gate,
and sought shelter in the jungle. After raising all
the works, and burning the stores, the detachment
rreturned to Kokherette. It does not appear that
' either party sustained any loss in the course of this
affair."

CALCVTTA, APRIL 14.
On Sunday evening last, presentlyZ the ceum
tion of a smart north-wester, two succ storks ..t
an earthquake were distinctly felt, in many patsy/
Calcutta and its vicinity. The time of the occur
as noted by different persons, was between twentrran
twenty-five minutes past seven, /Ind the duration a

to thirty seconds. The vibra:ions appeared, at EMI
to pass in a line from northeast to south-west; mad

peculiar sensation experienced in their own persons,
by those who witnessed the phenomenon, in many
houses a very distinct motion was commvnicated to

were seen to swing, and even the mirrors (such as
were fastened at the upper extremity with a cord)
were observed to vibrate towards the wall. In a room
on the central floor of one of the turrets of the Lower
Orphan School, at Howrah (which is a very old aad
infirm building), the force of the undulations was so
considerable, that a couch on which a person happened
to be reclining, was moved on its castors, at the first
shock, to the distance of nearly a foot from its origi.
nal position close to the wall, and was again thrown
back to its place by the returning succession. I'.
some persons the vibration appeared to be accompa-
nied by a noise, which they describe as resembling
the sound of muffled bells.
Reports from various stations in the lower parts of
Bengal, as far up as Moorshedabad, mention the oc.
curtence of a similar phenomenon, nearly about the
same hour. By a letter from R-amnagur, the vibra.
