A letter from Stockport rat yesterday, says, "In the
Manchester market, during the last week, there have been some
considerable sales made, particularly in grey cloth. This has en-
couraged the manufacturers of that article in this town to continue
working their factories at the sante rate at which they have been
working, and two males which have been shut up for some time,
are expected to commence operations in the course of the present
week.—The establishment of a Branch Bank at latichester,which
In is understood will certainly take place, has given confidence to
those whom mercantik transactions are on the most extensive scale."

MIIIDER AT DOVER.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

DOVER, JULY 31, 1128

Sunday morning, a most barbarous and deliberate
murder was perpetrated on the beach, rear the bathing
machines. A party of 2‘a) smugglers, after loitering i!‘
various parts of the town till atter miinight, assembled
to r un a cargo of contraband spirits near thv baths, when,
being observed by two of the Blockade force, who were
parading the shore, a pistol was Steil to give the alarm,
whereon a volley of musket shots was coolly directed
at the Quartermaster, Richard Morgan, .which per-
formed his body in
.several parts, and killed him on the
spot. This morning an Inquest was held by tlohn F nnisi
Esq. the Mayor and Coroner, on the body of poor
Morgan, when the Jury unanimously found a verdict of
Wilful Murder against same persons unknown., .This
atrocious act has caused a great s:nsation throughout
the town of Dover, it having been committed within the
precincts of the Corporation's jurisdiction; and beir,g
unprecedented for the deliberate coolness and cruelty
with which it was effected.

The Mayer convenes a Hall to•taotrow, to- further
investigate the horrid transaction, and to endeavour to
discover the murderers.

The Election of a Member of Parliament for the
county of Orkney took place on the 12th ult. and closed the hst of
Scottish elections. The Hon. Can DUNDAS was returned with.
out.opposition, Air. LAING, of P..pdale, having withdrawn front the
contest. The successful Candidate is brother of the preseet Lord
DUNDAS, who posses es large estates in Shetland and Orkney. ,
'l'he doubt relating to the marriage of a celebrated
and highly-popular vocal performer with the branch wf a divtin-
Iguished l►ukedom has entirely subsided, and the amiable Lady is
now acknowledged and received in the highest circles as a mar-
ried woman.

Gibraltar Papers to the 11th ult, state, that on the
9th a Spanish fleet appeared off the garrison, escorted
by four vessels of war, from the Westward; one of
them beating a Commodore's pendant. The ships of
war sailed into the Bay, and two of them anchored at
Algesiras, where, it is reported, they are to be stationed;
the fleet proceeded up the Mediterranean. The Repub-
lican, Colombian privatea, sailed from Gibraltar ou
the morning of the 9th.
Circulars have been sent to the Surveyors of Taxes,
stating, that as it appears to have been the intention of
the Legislature, that all carriages with wheels of less
diameter than 'him inches, and drawn by ponies or
mules not exceeding twelve hands in height, or by oxen
or asses, except whets let to hire, would be entirely
exempt from duty, whether the party keeps any four-
wheel car siege liable to charge or not, the chat ges made
by the assessors are to be vacated, without giving the
parties the trouble of appealing to the Commissioners.
It appears Mr. FARQUHAR died without any will, as
application has been made at Doctors' Commons for
administration by a nephew and one of his next of in.!,
under the sum of 700,0001. The duty on the adminis-
tration alone will be 13,5001. and the duty of three per
cent. being nephews in distribution, 'will be about
21,0001., so that the whole duty to Government will be
about 34,0001. There is, however, some opposition t,
the paksing of the adniiiiiifialitifit. - V. ,
. In consequence of the heat of the weather, a mars
dropped down dead while employed in a field near
Deptford; and the snts's rays had such power ful effect
on another labourer in she-same field, that it affected
his.brain, and he was conveyed from his work to the
hospital at Greenwich in an alarming delirious state.-
Both. men Had been working without any covering on
their heads, a circumstance very prevalent among la-
bourers, but highly blameable at this season of the year:
By accounts from Cadiz, we learn that, pursuant to
an order from the Supreme Board of Health of the
Kingdom, vessels from Genoa and its district are to be'
considered as bringing suspicious Bills of Health; and
such as come from the other ports in that part of Italy
were to be subjected to eight days' quarantine.
The French Papers state, under the date of Madrid,
that-the King of SPAIN and his Ministers had pat tly re-
covered from their alarm, and felt less affliction thaw
they had done at tne events occurring in Portugal, in
consequence of the passage of a Courier from Vienna to•
Lisbon, sent by the Infant Dow Miguel., with Dis-
patches to the Regency, a announcing his decided op--
ppsition and resistance to the measures adopted at the
instigation of England by his brother the Emperor of
BRAZIL, and to his plan of Chambers and his demo-
cratic Constitution." The contents of these dispatches
had been suffered by the Courier to transpire, and it was
believed that Austria had not only authorised, but soli-
cited them from the Infant Don MIQUEL. FERDINAND'
and his Council imagined, therefore, that a D.in Pump's
measures, being only the result of English influence,
'totally unsupported by Austria, Fiance, Russia, or
Spain, would not be xecognized by any one of..,these
Powers,. and would ftip down still-born." In thwr ease'
Spain would have had no occasion to make efforts,'
which must aggravate her difficultis, to raise an• ar my
,of observation, and the tam necessary for its main-
tenance, and France would not be obliged to send more
troops into the Peninsula. The hopet entertained by
'toe (Spanish Monarch and his advisers have been of
,short duration. If the Infant Don MIEHIEL protested
against the execution of his Brother's salutary measures,•
the protest has been wholly disregarded. The Consti-
tution has been proclaimed at Lisbon, and throughout
the ,Portuguese-cluminions; and howeter Austria and
Russia may disapprove of its establishment, France can-
not consistently betray a similar feeling. But even
should she unite with those Powers in disapprobation,.
that disapprobation will be silent and inoperative. The
Duke of CARDHAVAL, sprung from one of the first
houses in Portugal, which, at the accession of every new
King, protests against him in farmer of his own right
to the throne, has b.en wisely appointed President of
the Chamber of Peers. He is young, immensely rich,.
enthusiastic, and is said to have embraced' with ardour
the system of a Representative Government. He had
had several interviews with Sir C. S7UART, and em-
ployed all his credit and fortune to remove the ob-.
stacks which the establishment of the Constitution had
to encounter.

BRIGHTON Amy 31,
ne arrivals since Saturday have been numerous,
scarcely a lodging is now unoccupied. The
ddf-rent places of amusement were vet y well attended
on Saturday evening. At the Theatrts the performances,
under the patronage of her Grace the Duchess of
RICHMOND, were, She Stoops to Conquer, and Disguises.
In the former, MI s. OROLR took the part of Miss
.1-lardeastle. The afterpiece brought oat little Miss
Vincewr in six or seven different characters, which she
sustained with considerable talent.
A person while hanging over the rails at the Chain
Pier on Friday, at the time the Quentin Durward
steam-packet arrived, had his pocket picked of 24'.
hut did not miss the money till he got home, when
he recollected having observed two men looking very
earnestly at him, so that their persons were fresh in his
memory. On the following day he went to the races
accompanied by a fr?nd, and had not been long on the
course before he espied the two men alluded to; he,
immediately went up to and accused them of the rob-'
bery, adding " if they had taken only half, he should
not have cared; but that they had taken all, and left
him in distress." To this strange speech, one of the thieves,
alter a faint denial, replied, " that if he was in distress
he would make him a present of 51." which he accord-
ingly did, and which was instantly imitated by his com-
panion. Subsequent to this the parties met by appoint-
ment at an inn in the town, when the rogues very libe-
rally added .51. each to their former donations, reserving
the odd 41. as a reward for their trouble and generosity.
This concluded, the pickpockets and their innocent
victim sat down amicably together, and enjoyed them-
selves over a bottle of wine.
Subsequently to the close of the limes yesterday, perhaps two
or three hours, a species of row took place on the scite of the pre-
vioub sports—a party, in number about eighteen; of the eth Hus-
sars, who had obtained leave of absence, I conclude' from their
stilitary duties, seemed to imagine themselves at "Donnybrook
Fair," and,seits ceremoxie, distributed Mack eyes and bloody noses
to all that came within reach of their dots of eves. The police,
however, were on the alert, and nine of the offenders found their
way to the town prison, where they yet remain to appear before the
sitting Magistrates to.ntormw.
