GREEK PIRACIES.

terra•cv or ♦ TAM% DATED IDNITEDA, On. 3, 1526.
" I told you in one of my last letters, that the Admi-
ral had intimated by a circular, through the emssul,
that six Greek armed brigs had deserted the Greek
cause, and become pirates; and I have now to announce
to you, that another Greek brig has been making war
also on his own account, and has plundered vessels in
the roadstead of Enos. She was afterwards met by a
British •essel of war; with all the plunder on board.—
She was captured, and has been sent down to Malta
for adjudication. With regard to convoy, Ido not
think that the Mary, and the other vessels, which sailed
on the Ist instant, with clean bills of health, run much
risk in the first place, they go four in company; in
the next place, they are not likely at this period of the
year to fall into calms; and lastly, there is an extraor-
dinary activity in the motions 'of the vessels of war of
all nations just now ; added to all.,which, it should not
be forgotten that they have a favourable wind, high
premiums of insurance, therefore, should not be asked,
in my opinion, although they go without convoy."

" On the way to this place, Captain Curtis, of the
Medina sloop of war, fell in with a large Greek armed
pirate brig, entirely loaded with plundered goods of
immense value, which he has sent down to Malta for
adjudication, and be takes down convoy to sail about
the 10th, in order to prosecute this case, which is the
more alarming in regard to trade and navigation, inas-
much as this vessel is independent of the six Spezaiots
already denounced by the. Admiral."

want and European merchandise. The Meow& has on board a

The morrow of St. Martin falling on Sunday, the
celebration, was observed yesterday. The following Lords of the
Council assembled at the Court of Exchequer at two o'clock :—The
Lord Chancellor; the First Lord of the Treasury; the Lord Pre-
sident of the Council; the Lord Privy• Seal; the Secretary of State
for the Home Department; the President of the Board of Caramel;
the Judge Advocate General the Vice Chancellor ; 'the Lord
Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench ; the Lord Chief Justice
of the Court of Common Pleas • the Lord Chief Baron ; the Chief
Juggle. of Chester; and.the nine Justices of the different Courts.
These distinguished personages nominated the Sheriffs for the en-
suing year, viz. three Gentlemen for each county. The proceedings
occupied exactly one hour. Some irregularities took place in con-
sequence of the retirement from. °Mee of some memberteof the
Privy Council, and the decease of others. This was the first time
tits Vacs Cnaiscau.oa attended en this or any other similar occasion
since the creation of that office.—The Csanceiscsa of the Emus-
WEI was not present, owing to the late decease of his only daughter,
and who has in consequence obtained his Kugler's leave of ab-
sence from public business. This was a disappointment to a number
of persons assembled, as this is the only occasion on which the
CHANCELLOR of the Excannosta appears in his full robes.
Saturday an Inquest was held at. St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, on the body of James Long, four years of
age, who was burnt to death, The parents lived in
Plunstree-court„ Shoe-lane. Oa Friday afternoon the
mother went out, leaving the child alone about five
minutes, when a lodger discovered him on the stairs,
enveloped in flames; a blanket was thrown over him,
and he was taken to the Hospital, where he lingered
till the next morning, when he expired.—Same day,
another Inquest was held at the same place, on the
body of J. Yowens, who wits driving a Kentish Town
stage, when, owing to the darkness of the night, a cart
came in contact with it, and he was thrown from the
'bon, and so dreadfully hurt, that he expired in the
above Hospital. Verdicts--Accidental Death.

At the present. Kirkdale Sessions two boys, named
John Johnson and James Woods, the former only eleven
years of age, were tried for stealing 101bs. of manure.
The prisoners were, it seems, in the habit of collecting
manure on the roads, and they happened to go into a
field belonging to a person named Sandford Prescott, at
Ormskir k) mad collected a small quantity of cow dung,
for which offence they were taken before the Rev. J. T.
Horton, amd by him were committed for trial on the 9eh
of September. The poor boys were thus confined ini
gaol neatly two months upon this trivial charge) and
put upon their trial. The Jury very properly returned
a ♦erdict of Not Guilty, and they were discharged.
Josephus, the Jewish Historian, informs us, that Solo-
moo, when he built the Temple, finding the area of
Mount Sion too circumscribed to answer his magnificent
plan, filled up a pan of the adjacent valley, and built
an outward portico over it towards .the east. This is
what is called in Scripture " Solomon's Porch," and was
a most noble structure) supported by a wall, 400 cubits
(500 feet) high, and consisting of sto•es of a vast bulk ;
each stone, it is said, being 20 cubits (SO feet long) and
six high.
