Ssteritay se'nnight two troops of dragoons reached
Perth from Pi, rshill Barracks ; one of them continued
ib march to Dundee, the other took up its quarters
k Perth. The same dty a detachment of the 7&h
kft Perth for Dundee, in consequence of the late

sets in that town.
Among other devices of the seditious is the impres.
kg on penny-pieces the fillowing words—" No
landiordi !—7 on Fool: ! —Spence's plan for ever!"
The state of Mr. PLATT% health is greatly im-
posed. Ile ,was so much better yesterday, that
loos are .entertained of his teeing enabled, in the
Ouse of a few days, to undergo the operation for
atracting the contents of the pistol.
The expectation that the younger WATSON would
ipeedily be discovered seems to have very much
skated within these few days. A number of the let-
imaddressed to the LouD Msxou on the subject of
this y tang man, are mere exertions of that miserable
gears of wit which is called hoaxing, and which,
when exercised on such serious matters as the life of
s fellow-cresture, and the maintenance of public
jostice, chew as great a want of feeling•as of sense.
Yuri;.--Monday se'nnight eight persons were
Wend to appear at the next Sessions, and to keep
the peace in the interim, and one was sent to prison,
all for assaults committed on the Sunday morning,

from one to six o'clock.
A Hull Paper says—ti A report was prevalent in
fie early part of the week, that Watson, jun. had
Teen in this place, and had succeeded in getting_on
board .a ship which has since sailed for the Continent.
We cannot learn there is any foundation for this re-
port.. It is certain; however, "that he has several re-
latives in this part -of the countrgr, and we believe he
oiled from this port in 1814, as'surgeon on board
tbe Sisters Greenland ship."
CARLISLL—Ac a precautionary measure; and to en-
sure the public tranquillity, the Mayon, along. with
other Gentlemen, visited every public house in the
City and suburbs on Thursday evening. The Chief
Magistr.ite has directed that all inns and public houses
be closed by .r o o'clock every night, and that none
but inmates b- permitted to remain beyond that hour,
under a penalty and the forfeiture of licence.
The Committee for the Relief of the Labouring
Poor at Carlisle, have been very active in carrying
into effect the Resolutions of the General Meeting.
Agreeably to Public Notice, they met at the Town
Ball on Monday sennight, when one hundred and
forty labourers in wade of work, applied and enrolled
their names ; which number has since increased to
Upwards of 200; and the whole have been set to
!ark in various parts of the city and neighbourhood ;
a portion of these isemplqyed by the- Corporation
and County. and the'remainder by the Public Sub-
taiption. One party have begun the new road
from the bridge-end to Finkle-street ; another is
filling up the old course of the river which di-
vides the two cattle markets ; land many are em-
'loped on the east.and west Nails; and various other
places. The men at work are contented and thank-
.
to'; their wages are is. 6d. per diem.
Last week the Trustees of Wareham turnpike-
Mils were employing about 40 persons, at from 6s.
