Extract of a letter from the Agent to LLOYD'S, at
Valencia, dated 10th August:—" We have just been
advised, that on the Jtir inst. the boat of the English
brig Helot, Captain RICHARD CORNISH, arrived at
Alicant with ten men. This; vessel proceeded from
Liverpool, and was bound to Leghorn and Genoa,
with a cargo of merchandize; and in the night of
the 2d inst. being about 44 miles from Cape de Gatt,
was boarded by a brig of 1G guns, which appeared.
to be English. The Captain and crew were imme-.
diately forced under the hatches, which were then
nailed over them; but having begged of the assail-.
ants to allow them some ventilation, they cut a has
in the deck, threatening to kill the first that attempted
to look through it. While they were employed in
plundering the vessel, the Captain and crew ven-
tured tc look through the. opening, and observed,.
that in the foremast-sail-of the pirate there was the
mark—" James Quillan, Liverpool; and in the fore-
mainsail—" S. Ashburn, Liverpool;" and in the sprit-
sail the same mark as in the forckmainsail.' •Tha,
ost
mast and yards were painted white, the hall l ,
and the sides with two yellow sneaks; the stern bac .
with two windows. The Captain, perceiving no,
noise for some time, and observing that the vessel
made a great deal of water, burst open •the hatch-
way, and saw the brig at about three miles distant,•
and the rigging and sails of his vessel all cut. He,
missed his small boat, and only found the large on;
in which they saved themselves in a very bad state,
The following day they were taken up by a Greek
vessel, which conducted them near the' Island of.
Plana, whence they went to Alicant in a boat."

Yestetday his Royal Highness the PRINCE RaGara
received, at Carlton,House, his Royal Highness the
Duke of YORK, the Prince ESTERHAZY, the Russian

Affairs to the Emperor of RUSSIA, was introduced to,
the PRINCE REGENT by Count LIEVEN and Viscount
CASTLEREAGH. The Count was admitted to the hot .
nour of a closet audience of his Royal Highness, and,
was most graciously received. The Count and his
Excellency were dressed in full Russian uniforms 4
and came to Court in his Excellency's date carriages
the servants wearing their state liveries; The Panic&

And power in Vesetation!

But by what power, entil this kour,
Is only known to Goo!
The bearded corn the fields adorn,

When sprinkled o'er wi' dew,
Tips biede of grass ie peeking We

A wonder to our view !

In (ark that swim in erystalatreant.
And fowls that skim the air !
Tbat heat and light do both unite
In that great orb, the Sun,
Asd still t►ey lett and never• waste,
Through ages a' they've run!

The wino (loth blaw, rain, hail, and gnaw,
With fury o'er the plain ;
It rends the oak, it shakes the rock,
•And swells the wat'ry main!

The learned miast.will still be. blind,
Ina' he search unisithe'd!

Last-night, about half-past eight, a fire was disco-
vered,in the lower part of the premises of Mr. SHaw,
auctioneer, No. 48, Red Lion-street, Holborn, sup-
posed -to have been occasioned by some accident
among the work-people ; the fire happening in the
lower part of the house, and just under the stairs,
caused the greatest alarm and confusion among the
family, some of whom with the greatest difficulty
were saved from the devouring flames: the fire raged
with great fury for nearly two horns, when, through
the exertions of the firemen with their engines, which
were very numerous, it was happily got under with-
outleing any further mischief than entirely destroy-
ing .Mr.•Stfew's house and premises, and greatly da-
maging the-back parts of adjoining premises on each
ede, particularly Mr. Hogntou's Tunbridge-ware
aran u factory.
'The following-additional particulars of the late '::: e
at -Newfoundland are extracted from a Letter ad-
dressed to John Pirie and Co. dated Newfoundland,
July-23 :—"-We have again to inform you, with regret,
that ontheanorning of the 19th inst. another fire brcke
out in this town, which soon spread, and as every
thini was dry, the flames communicated with greater
repadiry than we ever -remember to have witnessed,
and ia the short space of three hours the greater past
of •what remained of the Old Town was reduced to
vises. The fire commenced•in the premises of Messrs.
J. Williams-and Co. in Water-street, whose stores, &c.,
were allilestroyAd ; and among the mercantile suke-1,
vies -are Messrs. J. tleaghee and Sons, -Doyle, Au-'
woncl,-andlfaynes,l3. laugh, -J. Bayley, W. Cullen
and )o. Cunningham, Bell, and Co. Altogether,
we-believe, upwards of 100 houses are consumed,
Whieh deprives more thait;looo persons of their habi-
tations, and consequently will
.add another serious
blow-to this unfortunate town, and very much increase
its distress and misery ; a great deal of property
was-lost; it is conjectured to exceed 104,000/. The
cause of this .fire -has not been ascertained, but we
are-inclined to hope, upon a strict investigation, it
will be found to have originated through accident.—
We are fortunate in having .oer premises detached
from the body of the town, which places our friends'
property in a state of .comparative security ; and we
are happy to iCquaint yrA, that we had not occasion
to-remove-one article from our premises dining the
late fire."

At Cork Asizes, on Friday senni.ght,
drew was found guilty of =Mem; big pwkbro-
ther, James Andrews. It appeared in .evidence that
they had been drinking together, andhad some words
on their way home, when the prisoner Struck the de-
ceased two or three times on the head with a piece
of iron, which killed him on the spot. Prisoner then
took off a great coat he wore, wrapped it round the
body of his unfortunate brother, threw it down a sort
of cliff, and covered it with earth. The prisoner was
hung on Monday last, arid his body given to the sur-
geons for dissection.
After the execution of the unfortunate man, Abra-
ham Abrahams, on Thursday se'nnight, at Penenden,
for'being accessary to a burglary at Sheerness, the
body was carried by some friends of the deceased to
Chatham' in the expectation of having it interred in
the Jewish Burying•ground at that place. The
heads of the Jews, however, at Chatham, refused to
permit the interment of the body in the ground,
although the High Priest had written them a letter,
enjoining them to it and the consequence of the re-
fusal was, that the body was obliged to be carried
to Sheerness, where the wife of the deceased, his Chil-
dren, and his mother, with ten sisters and brothers,
were obliged to witness the heart-rending spectacle.
of the burial if their unfortunate relative.
