'UTH, NOVEMBER 14.

Mn. tprroa—A paragraph in a letter from toireS.
in your Paper of the 12th ultimo, has excited some
surprize at this Port. It is very natural to expatiate
on the advantages of the port where we reside, and
I should be one of the last to make an objection to it,
but these statements should be consistent with truth ;
I will not suppose your Correspondent to have erred
intentionally, but he is at least censurable for his
deficiency of enquiry on a subject which he pretends
to be well informed of. Instead of " there being no
other (a dry dock and necessary appendages) so eli-
gibly situated for repairs in the British Channel, as a
Dry Dock lately constructed at Cowes ;" there are in
the British Channel several Dry hocks : which is the
most eligibly situated, we must leave the Shipping
Interest to determine on; but, at least, we may ven-
ture to assert that the Dry Dock in Cat-Water in this
port, one hundred and sixty feet in length, and forty-
eight feet in width at the Dock gate, and also spa-
cious slips, in which the undermentioned ships have
been built or docked for repair, are not deserving of
such an oversight as your Cowes Correspondent is
guilty of. —I must also state, that the inestim
national work, the Breakwater at the entrance of
Plymouth Sound, now affords such security to the
shipping interest, that masters of vessels who are
strangers to the port of Plymouth may in the heavi-
est gales find immediate safety for the valuable pro-
perty-they have in charge by anchoring within it.—
need.uot appeal to your impartiality to induce you
to insert this statement in your Paper.—l am your
obedient servant, hiERCATOR.
Snits Bluse—The Dement, sloop of war; Armada, 74;
Clarence, 74; three West Indiatnen, from 300 to 350 tons.
FASGATO Rarataan—The Ncrtide; the-Melampus.
MERCHANT Sues Rasaman—The Hydra, 750 tons; Lord
Wellington, 450 tons; Matilda, 580 tons; 469 tons; and
many others, too numerous to insert.

MANCHESTER, NOVEMBER 16.

PRIVATE LETTER,

Among the many branches of manufacture here,
that of making umbrellas and parasols, is by no
means inconsiderable ; and I am happy to say that
this business has revived so much within these few
days, as to fully employ every efficient hand ; and
there is every prospect of their being permanently
employed for many months to come, not from the
home demand, but the extensive foreign orders for
these indispensible articles of utility and luxury. The
demand in this respect has given increased energy tol
the manufacture of silks and ginghams ; but the
Cotton trade was never known to be more depressed;
indeed the low price at which superior manufactured
goods can now be purchased, is a sufficient verifica-
tion of this. There is, however, a moral certainty
that this staple and important branch of trade will
revive as soon as Christmas is turned. The Mer-.
chants and Manufacturers are all acting under this
impression. Two extensive orders have arrived to-
day from New York, which has created some bustle
in the houses that have received them, mail a hope
that other orders will soon follow.

The number of blocks of tin coined at Penzance,
Tor the quarter ending on Saturday last, was 2552.:
total for the county 5088.

Some few years ago, a mine was discovered On the
estate of Sir THOMAS. Tystwirtrr JoNE.S, in Wales,
shares of which sold, at that time, for 101. each. The
working of it has since proved so prcfitable a specu-
lation, that these ten pound shares now find ready
purchasers at one hundred guineas!
Etoeemear.— Late on Friday night last, a young.
Lady, daughter of a respectable inhabitant, eloped
from Tewkesbury, in a post-chaise, with a young
widower, one of her father's servants, on a matrimo-
nial excursion; but the news having reached the fa-1
ther's ears long after he had retired to rest, he arose
and pursued them with such alacrity in a chaise-and-
four, that he overtook them at Worcester, and brought
the fair fugitive back to her family the next morning.
A young child, &fey, weeks old, swaddled in mean
clothing, was lately found exposed in Perth. With
some difficulty, a nurse was procured for it by the
Kirk Session; but such is the wayward fate of this
little innocent, that its new protectress had scarcely
entered upon her charge when she was taken suddenly
ill, and died, unseen. Next morning, the child was
found lying on the arm of its lifeless nurse, and was
soon after provided with another.—The unnatural
mother has not been discovered.

In a cow slaughtered on Wednesday at Renfrew,
there was discovered a small bull-calf with two heads..
The body, feet, and tail, were single. in the usual
way ; bet although the neck was single, it contained
two throats, which were very distinct. The two heads
began to separate a little below the ears, which were
sufficiently prominent, and, as well as the mouth,
eyes &c. were very finely formed on both heads.
Yesterday morning as some men, in the employ of
Mr..RHODES, cow-keeper, in the Hampstead-road,
were gathering up some hay which lay under the
ricks, one of them stuck a pitch-fork against a hard
substance, which, on examination, proved to be
human body. On examining further, they found a
second body, and being very much terrified they ran
with the intelligence to Mr. RHODES, who sent notice
of the affair to the Parish Officers. It is supposed that
the bodies were left by some Church-yard robbers.
Sunday evening, as Mr. and Mrs. REDFORD, of
Walworth, were passing. the Magdalen, in Black-
friars-road, just at the time the congregation were
quitting the Chapel, they were hustled by three
or four men of genteel appearance, as if by accident.
Mr. REDFORD, however, soon after discovered that
his pocket had been picked of his pocket-book, con-1
taining three £1 notes and some memorandums.
Mrs. Remain then recollected having felt a Violent
pull at a valuable shawl which she had round her
shoulderse-and which no doubt the villains attempted
also to carry off, but did not succeed.
Wednesday night, wbilst the family were
with their usual avocations, some villain proceeded
unperceived up stairs in the Horse Shoe and Mag.
pie, Great Saffron-bill, and by means of a false key
entered the landlord's hed-room, and robbed it of WL
in Bank notes, and three watches.
A French Journal announces. that a worna^, who
fell into a profound lethargy, remained in that state,
for thirteen days, and that all her member 4 except
her tongue, continued totally Inactive.

The company were highly gratified by seeing Lord Handy's
famous Yorkshire dog run a single-handed coarse in a style if
uncommon excellence, killing the hare in a few hundred yards,
although she had more than half the distanoe law. The fineness
of the weather attracted a great concourse of spectators . who
were not only highly pleased with the sport, but gratified with
die-presence and condescending manners of the Marchioness if

' . SPARRING.
Spring had his benefit at St. Martin's-street Fives-court, Tester-
diy, and although his efforts in the prize-ring have been unsuc-
cessful, yet his marked civility la proverbial, and he met with
ilaineroun patrons. The seta-to were few, but good.—The first
amity Was between Carter and Gregson, and their late arrival
Rem Att-la-Chapelle gave much eclat to their performances.' The
map was manful and scientific. After this Carter addressed the
amateurs from the stage, and stated that it had publicly appeared
that Richmond had *aid him—but he stated that ha was too
Math inebriated to act eves on the defensive. After several per- 1
Mg bad dragged him out of Belcher's room, and when endea-
isioring to get en, Richmond took else advantage of him, and
struck him. He Inquired if Richsnond wanted him alone ; and
if not, said an amateur, he shall have Belcher with him, and
Carter shall fight them both for a hundred, is one ring. This
was of mere interest than the sparring, and Richmond and Bel-
abor mounted the stage together, after Carter had left—Belcher
Mid that Carter bad been turned out or his 'room for insulting
his customers, and that he was a blackguard.—Richmond said
that he took part with the company, and struck Carter because
M dunned it. —An amateur observed, that it was one way of
reattlbg a man for half a dozen to drag him out of a room, when
hi a state of stupidity, and another to hit him and then claim the
liierit of winning. " Will Richmond meet him in half an hour?"
1 tentinued the speaker, " or will he see hint here, as Carter is
ready to fight any man in the world, from a glass of gin to 300
illeassr—The Court was in one rum between the partisans of
flash,
and after a few.minutes sparring re-commenced—Martin
chewed oft' upon an athletic Lifeguardsman, and it was apparent
what science could do with strength.—Harmer and Spring gave
fine specimens of science, as did also Belcher and Painter,—No
new matches were made.—Betting 11 to a, Randall against
Turner.

Saturday se'nnight, during the market, at Bodmin,
a hare, closely pursued by a set of harriers followed
by a number of sportsmen, ran through the passage
of the Queen's Head Inn, into the street, and taking
her way through the market, to the no small sur-
prise,, amusement, and inconvenience of the multi-
tude, finally eluded her pursuers.—Shortly after the
chase above mentioned, a spectacle equally novel at
Bodmin, was got up, which attracted the notice of
the market folk, at least in an equal degree. A man
named Waker, of the parish of Lanivet, led forward
his wife by a halter, which was fastened round her
waist, and publicly offered for sale. A person named
&boys wiso.has lately been discharged from the 28th
Regiment, bid sisptace for her, and was immediately
declared the purchaser. He led off his bargain in
triumph, amidst the shouts of the crowd, and to the
great apparent satisfaction of her late owner.
Two grocers at Manchester, hitherto deemed re-
spectable, have been detected in dealing largely in
poisonous tea, &c.
Friday last, JOHN Becitensibt,w, Esq. of Gorton,
near Manchester, while viewing a fox-chase in one of
his own fields, suddenly fell down and expired. He
was in his 67th year; and it may be truly said, that
he was a most worthy honest man
Thursday, the sth inst. a distressing event took
place in the village of Crosby Ravensworth, in the
county of Westmorelana. JOHN HEWITSON, farmer
at Crosby Hall, in attempting to turn a drunken man
out of the public house, received from him a blow
under the ear, which in a short time caused his death.
The man who struck the blow was committed to Ap-
pleby jail.
An Inquest was held on Monday, at the Brazen
Head, Lissongreen, on the body of Sarah Jones,
who, while digging sand with two other children, in
Harper's-fields, the surface gave way, and buried the
deceased and another; the third escaped. The de-1
ceased was found quite dead ; the other was dug out
alive. Verdict—Accidental Death.
An Inquisition was taken yesterday, at the White
Hart, Giltipur-street, on the body of Wm. Rlowfield,
a bricklayer, who was killed on Friday last by .a fall
when repairing Bow Church, Cheapside. The de-
ceased was at work on Friday morning, about ten'
o'clock, at the Church, and had placed a ladder upon
an arch, and reared it against the Church ; the arch
unfortunately sunk in at the top, and the ladder gave
way several feet into it ; the deceased, who was stand-
ing upon one of the uppermost rounds, was dashed
to the ground. He was carried to St.. Bartholomew's
Hospital. Verdict—Accidental Death.
Exacurzoti.--About half past eleven o'clock, on
Friday last, Samuel Ilolmyard, for a forgery on the
City Bank, Exeter, was removed from Southgate pri-
son, accompanied by the Chaplain and Sheriff, to the
place of execution, where at twelve o'clock, he un-
derwent the awful sentence of the law, passed upon
• him at the last Sessions for that city. The execution
drop belonging to the county of Devon, wa: erected
on the Magdalen-road, the place where the gallows
formerly stood, though upwards of thirty years has
elapsed since a capital punishment has been carried'
into effect for the jurisdiction of Exeter. On his way
to the fatal spot, he looked round on the populace
with apparent composure. , He appeared extremely
penitent ; and evinced the greatest firmness to the
last. A vast concourse of people were assembled on
the melancholy occasion.— William Davis who was
also Sentenced to die with him for uttering forged
notes on the same Bank, has received a respite.
CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, Nov. 18.—We
have had no arrivals of any description since Mort-,
day; yet the Wheat trade was heavy, but not cheaper.
Fine English Barley being scarcely in demand, what
few samples were left over from Monday's arrival,
were readily disposed of at an advance of from Is.
to 2s. per quarter. Oats were also brisk in sale, and
fine samples obtained I. more than on Monday. In
Peas and Beans there is no alteration.
