.LORD COCHRANE,
--4.-

Lord Cochrane's vessel is the Unicorn yacht, formerly
belonging to Mr. Perkins, the brewer, partner with
Barclay. After leaving the Thames they touched at
Dartmouth, and then at Bantry Bay,which they left early
in June; they then proceeded as fat as Malta, and cruised
between that and Sicily, upon
,the look-out for their
steam-ships. The smoke of a steam-packet whioh plies
between Naples and Messina frequently disappointed
them. They came, inadvertently, from England with.
out a bill of health, so that they could not obtain
'Fatigue. They touched twice at Messina, and
remained there some time in quarantine without any
suspicion being excited. At last, anxious to land,
Mr. He,kt:th, one of the officers, was sent to Malta,
.got a bill of health, and went on shore at Messina; but
a letter was taken from him, which disclosed who was
sin board the yacht. Immediately five boats were sta-
tioned round her, a guard was put on shore to keep a
look-not, and• Mr. He,keth was closely watched on shore
by the police. Notice must hare been immediately sent
in all the ports in Italy, for wherever they attempted
afters% ards to touch, as soon as the Name of the vessel
was known, they were prevented from having any com-
munication with the shoie. They then came on here,
where they have been very well received, the Public
Authorities being ready to afford them every facility.
The principal object in coming here was to land a
number of things which the small vessel is lumbered
with, and to wait till the force from America and the
Thames may be expected in the Mediterranean. In-
deed, it is expected that the frigate from America is
already in these seas, and Lord Cochrane supposes the
steam ships to have left the Thames by this time. As
soon as he gets his force together, his plan is to proceed
immediately to the Archipelago, and with fire-ships to
destroy first the Egyptian force, particularly the Alge.
rine frigates;
.and be seems perfectly confident of ac-
complishing it. The steam-ships are to be used in
towing the file-ships and other vessels. Lord Cochrane
regrets exceedingly_ the bloodying bargain made in
.America; he does not want large vessels—three or four
sold indiamen cut down would be of more use than
the finest American frigate. In all ports where the
Austrian influence predominates he is refused admit.

and he seems quite satisfied that the Maiquis cif Hastings
did no more than exercise a sound diieretion in making
that request, owing to the situation of Malta, its trade

A Leeward Islands mail arrived yesterday, having
left Si. Thomas's on the 11th uk. and bringing the
usual sets of papers from the other islands, from Deme-
rara, and from the main of South America. The only
mention made of the President BouVAR is, an official
notice of his having reached Truxillo, on his way from
Peru to Colombia. This was made public at Caractas
on the 10th of September, by MailDoZA, the Intendant
'of Venezuela. Preparations were consequently making
far his reception at Caraccas. The letters from. Deme-
rara state, that the publication of the Guiana Chronkle,
which had been suspended by order of the Governor,
was resumed on the Bth of September. We find no
fact of leading importance in these papers.

his " Wild eats," his " Modern Antiques." and his other imkthfel

years) such constant favourites with theatrical audiences. His pre-

Sunday evening, Mr. Lilly, a publican, resident in
Holyviell lane, Shoreditch, alarmed by an outcry pro-
ceeding from the next house, occupied by Mr. Prior, a
barber, who has been many years an inhabitant of the
neighbourhood, ran in to ascertain the cause, and found
Nir. Prior in his parlour, enveloped in flames. Mr.
Lilly, with assistance, extinguished the flames; but Mr.
ior is so much injured, that his recovery is 'at present
despaired of. The milk way in which the accident can
be accounted for is the following:—That Mr. Prior,
overcome by the fatigue be had undergone during the
day, sat by his parlour fire and fell asleep, and that a
spark ftomthe fire communicated to his dress,the greater
pot of which was composed of calico. Mr. Prior is
nearly 60 years of age, and much respected in his
neighboui hood. When the accident happened, his
family, it appears, were at church.
