The investigation respecting the death of Captain
PARTIUDOS, off Dieppe, etas not terminated on Wed.
nesday night. The body of the unfortunate Captain
has been buried at Dieppe. The British Consul, the
Municipal Officers at Dieppe, and several Merchants
have taken the affair in;o terions consideration. _ _

Friday se'nnight a boat race took place in Cork
Harbour, which caused a general collection of all the
yachts and pleasure boats on that river.
FROM AN AltitEltiCAN PAPER.—Extracts of Letters
from an Officer on board one of our ships in the Me-
diterranean, to his tripods in S dem, dated off Algiers:

" APRIL 3.—We sailed with the squadron on the 31st of March,
from Matson, and arrived off here the next day. In Mahon 1
was in company with several British Office's, who all spoke in
the highest terms of our navy, and appeared to respect us In the
highest degree. Lord Exmouth came on board of the ship at
Mahon, and was much pleased with her. lam more and more
convinced of the high rank the American name so .rains in theme'.

" Apia 4—l his ouirning 1 went on shore, and have now
(eight in the evening) just returned, having been much better
pleated than in any (filar place we have been in. We landed
about eight in the morning, ani the first thing that we observed
Waco a gra* number of Christian slaves in chains, who almost pro-
strated themselves betide es. We were Intl on the Qsay by the
VI o4iiiiian or Attendant of the Consul, who escorted us to the
Consul's noose, where we were most elegantly entertained. In our
passage through the streets we were viewed with admiration by :he
lurks, who appeared much pleased with us. The Swedish Consul
was very attentive to us, sliewirg'us ail the curiosities of the place.
This is a most delightful c:imate, far exceeding the European
shore. We walked oat of the city into the country, to the
gardens of the Ley, which are most elegant. The Americans
ere in such high estimation, that although Lord Exmouth Wes
obliged to go en board his ship before suu-set, for fear of being
shut in, yet the Part Captain has departed from the rules of the
1 city, and kept the gases open for the American Consul exclu-
sively. The Consul's house is one of the Ley's palaces, who

suiting Mr. Shake. Since my return to the ship, I find a present
has been received from the Dey. cueslstiog of bullocks, sheep,
poultry, vegetable? Ste. I saw the place where our unfortunate
townsmen laboured in drawing rocks, Etc. 1 likewise visited
the house of the Swedish Consul, where Captain Smith resided
during his imptisoament here. I bkewise saw the Batnbazeion,
u it is called (she place of execudon), where were an immense
slumber of beads of persons who had been eaccuted.
" Aram S.—AU was pew, and quietness, the Officers going
oa shore every day. until this raorising, when Mr. Shaer Pelt
on board, and informed the Commodore of a rupture with the
Ley; the causeof is we are yet unacquainted with. All is hurry
and cutdisslon In preparing tug an expedition to burn their Sae,
which an be elected with little loss. I have the good fortune
to be selected as ease of the Leta* to go on this service. I hope
to have an opportunity of signebslng myself.
" Ault. 10.— AU my hopes are destroyed. Last nights Vb.
lent pie of wind arose., which prevented the expedition from
sailing, and to-day a flag of truce has been sent ashore, who re-
turns with information that the Dry is astonished that we should
have taken the affair in so eeriouss light. The Consul is still on
board.

" Aran. 14.-All day yesterday, nothing certain : one moment
war, the next peace : the Consul still on hoard, the white nag
going ashore, and councikof war on beard an the time; but this,
morning all is war again. The cabin builphead is knocked away,
the guns all loaded and abated, boats prepared with combustibles
fur firing their ships, officers and men selected for the expedition,
will anted, as we expect much greater opposition than on the
firm night. We shall certainly go to-eight. We an all in high
spirits at sock a glorious opperumity of distinguishing ourselves,
for if we succeed we shall acquire more honour than any bodypf
men ever did; far there ate over SOO guns mounted on the batte-

OctsrittO•HALL FAllK.—Frkby se'nnight the annual sale of
Sheep took place at Gosfield-Hill Park, and was more nume-
rously attended than that of last year: the sheep were, as usual,
of a pure South-down stock, and went off rather 14.1t1y ; the
ewe lambs, of which there were but few lots, fetched 125. to Ins.
the wether lambs 145.10 :cue. and the ewes 31s. to 46e.; at the
latter price were a few handiomely fat.
BairtOßD Britford Fair, near Salisbury, which
was held last week, the number of sheep and lambs penned
amounted to 23,000, being 6,000 less than is generally penned.
The average prices were from 21. to 3s. per bead lower than at
the last year's fair, winch may in some measure he attributed to
o.ecp and. lambs of all descriptions being so much out of con-
dilon at thispresent season. We:hets fetched from lbs. to 965.
par bead, ewes from 135. to 265. per head, and lambs from 9s. to
18s. per Ilea Two lots (of 100 each) of very prime South
Down lambs were sent to the fa's by Mr. Bridger. of Trafalgar
Park, and Mr. Dowding, of Porton s• these tine lambs were sold
at 215. per head. The.number of horses was great, but they were
generally of an loft:shit description, And the few that were sold
fetsbei wiry low priori.
LANIDOWN FA/I.—'phis Fair, Oft Monday, was most nume-
rawly attended. There was a very great number of inTerior
bores, which obtained no purchasers at any price,bot good one..
fetched a fair sem. Lean cattle were in great abendance, and
met a brlsk.sale at very reduced prices. Fat beasts sold readily
readily at average prices. Fat sheep and lambs were in demand,
but leao sheep were wn the decline. There was a large quantity
of cheese, which averaged the following prices: skim, 21s. to
2Ss.; &If-coward, 81s. to 425.; best single Gloucester, 465. to
i 54a. ; and Somerset, 745.

Tatvrottn, Awns r 17.—Our annual Fair, yestreday, was
considerably larger than last year; the day preyed very unfa:
vou:able, there being so much rain, notwithstanding which a
great pan of the lambs and sheep sold. The half-bred Leicester
and Norfolk, and Down, seemed to have the preference; rime
of the former, belonging to Mr. Garrod, of Rodney, were driven
home, he hawing refused els, each Inc the wetbers, and 18s for
the ewess...-Mr.Stwell's wallas, of the latter breed, were sold
to a dealer, at 20s. each, his ewes at I Gs. 6.l.—Mr. Mereq's ewes,
of the same breed, at 13i.—Mr. Thoruhill's Down wethers were
sold at 15s. (id.—Lord Alhentarle's Down wethers at 101.—Mr.
lierod's half•brod Down and Notfulk ewe and *ether at 18s.—
Mr. A- more 's. of Fouldon, of the same breed, wetbers at Its.
—Soaltord Bidwell, Esq. Down abrading wctbers at 275.; and
altogether the sale was tolerably brisk, and this newly-established
fair firmly supported by the 'tumorous growers of lambs in the
neighbourhood.
leswics.—The Annual Mart for the sale of Lambs commen-
ced on Thursday last, and was attended by the principal agricul-
turalists and growers f itiffolk, and the adjoining counties. The
spew of imolai, however, was considerably less than ar any period
during the last VO years: and from the extent of hurdles pitched.
his computed the number fell short of last year's estimate from
12 16 14,000. Various reasons were assigned for this great defal-
cation; while others contended, that, owing to the depreciation
in valee for the last two or three years, many persons had relin-
quished breeding them. Some sales were iffected on the Thurs-
day, and at an advance of from 2 to ,C 3 per score upon last year.
prices: A great many pens were driven to feed on the first even-
ing of the fair, for which no offr had been made. The lambs
were teamed not in so good condition as last year by 2s. a head.
There were 2 great many lambs sold yedterday, and upon evi-
dently better terms fur the growers than on the preceding day,
and very few left nnAild. The preference was decidedly given to
the Sostb-downs and the half. bred Leicester,. The Norfolks
beingoat at the last fair, very difficult of sale and those disposed
of muss have been parted with at i heavy loss.
,PECIIIAM FAIL—The revels of Peckham termi-
nated last night, and the venders of goods of every
description admit, that they lave this year exceeded
all their calculation of profit. It may not be impro.
per to add, that one circumstance is peculiarly ere.
disable to the Magistrates. During former Fairs,
the road to Camberwell and Peckham has exhibited
a line, asp it were, of sharpers, furnished with all the
implements of fraud, to attract and delude the un-
wary. Not any depredators of that description were
seen within a mile of the late Fairs. Seine few baits
were thiown out, but, in general, the cheats were too
open and stale to succeed.—The people on the whole,
manifested that sort of happiness and festivity which
prevails during the most prosperous intervals of
peace. Songs were heard on every side in praise of
recent events—Lord Wellington, the Prince and
Princess .ef Coboarg, the Duke of Gloucester, the
Prisms Mary, and other distinguished personages,
were alike she subject of eulogy y in abort, those who

tained. The Gentleman acknowledged, that front the recommen•

biVON.-7411.1C1140. CLAY WITH noua.
TIIII*2IfO V. TRAHAIt.
This was an indictment for a misdemeanour. in
wilfully, malicious y, and unlawfully mixing clay
with flour.
Mr. Serjeant Less, who cnndscted the prosecution
on the part of the Crown, briefly stated the case, and
then proceeded to call the following witnesses :
Mary Arthur deposed, that in the beginning of
February 1814, she bought some flour of her brother,
who keeps a shop at Falmouth, which her servant
made into bread. It appeared to rise in the dough,
but fell in baking, and tasted bad. All her faun!,
complained of it.
.1. Came, the brother of Mary Arthur, said, he
ordered some flour from Trahat's Mills, part of
which he sold to his sister. It was the best bur—
ls* was to give 635. per bag for it. His customers.
generally complained that the flaw was bad, and his
sale became much injured. Told 'Frahm- of the'cir.
cumstance, who agreed to fall it 6s. pet bag. In
weighing eut the, flour it arose in a cloud ot dust,
ashich he never observed in any flour before or since
in an equal degree. Bread was made of it in his own
house, of which his father ate part. •
J. Came, sen. had tasted the bread at his ton's, in
February, 1814., and oliservcd it to be very objection-
able. ' It was more solid, and less porous, than 4
bread generally is. He paid a person named Rowe,
for Trahar, on account ot his son, £l4; the original
price was 415.
J. Holman said, that he was employed by Trahar,
at Treyew Mills, about February, 1814, to bag up
flour. Knew Rowe, the servant, who was also em.
ployed at the mill. Was put into a rooni to turn
over some wheat-flour with a spade ; observed some
tole whiter than the other; he mixed the two sorts
together. and turned it twice. Rowe then brought
up something in a peck tub, five or six times, which
he t. rew over the heap. In the evening Trahar, the
defendant, came to the. mill, and asked Rowe how he
got ot bagging t Rowe replied, " Wry well." They
had bagged 52 bags, each containing two bushels,
Cornish measure, ot the mixture.
Cross-examined.—Couldsnot tell- how much beer
he had drank in the course of the day.
-Dr. Edwards, of Falmouth, had procured some of
the fluor of which Mrs. Arthur complained : part of
it was clay. It appealed to be that sort of clay pro.
duced (rem decomposition of granite. It was most
.pernicious and unwholesome.
Mr. Serjeant PELL, for the defendant, principally
dwelt on the little credit there' was to be given to the

evidence of a Person (Holman) who 1.-a appea►ed
before the Court in a state of intoxication; and whose
evidence alone went to attach any guilt to the de.
fendant.

JUDGE, in summing up the evidence to the
Jury, observed, that he did nut conceive it was but&
cieutly strong to convict the defendant; and the Jury,
atter A very tew minutes' deliberation, gave a verdict
of—Not Guilty.
