BRIGHTON, PUROARY 5.

Sit John and Lady Ilamilton arid family left us yesterday; and
Sir Sandford and Lady Graham, the latter nearly recovered from
recent indispodtion, on Friday.
The French Duke Vtnguyon hal engaged a private residence,
and purposes to remain with us for a short time.
Several private entertainments in high life ate preparing for the
present week. Dlr. Chaplain, at his residence, 18, Steyne, gave a
BaU and Supper last night, and of which a very large portion of
our resident Nobility partook.
bliss Lawrence, at the desire of several Ladies of dittinction,
re-appeared at the Theatre, a few evenings back, in the character
of Jame Store.

Major-General AI-EXAM/MIR Wnoor ORD arrived at
Malta the Ist of December, in the Prince Regent Go.
veinment schooner, from Naples, %it!) his family and
suite; and the cerem .ny of swearing him in as Lieute-
nant-G.ivernor of those possession., in the absence of
his Excellency the Marquis of HASTINGS, took place at
the Government Palace, at the conclusion of which the
usual salutes were fired.

B.:rbadoes Papers to the 31st e►f December, contain a
long address delivered by the Legislative Council of
Tobago, to the Governor, Sir FREDERICK ROEINSON,
*herein the proposed reforms of the slave laws are ani-
madverted on with much boldness and ability. It ap-
pear:di-it the proportion of slaves in t• e island of T -
bago is about fifty• six to one; being only two bundled
and fi:ty white colonists, and f usrteen thousand Mayes.
This circumstance is adduced in the address of the Le-

gislative Cons.cit, to shew that it i, attended with more
danger there than in other islands, to make any relaxa-
tion of the slave-laws. A remonstrance has he-n pre-
sented by the House of General Assembly of the same
island, against the alterations in the currency.
The folhvving is an extract of a letter from. the,
Agent to Lloyd's at Mexico, dated DzcemberlV:
" We have the honour to inform you, that having
waited on the Minister of Finance, with his Majesty s
Consul-General, to apply for an early reinstating of
the light-house in the Castle of San Juan de Ulloa, we
were informed that orders had been given for the pur-
pose, and that in a few weeks an offic,al communica-
tion would be made to us on the subject by General
LIMA. When the bombardment began, the whole of
the excellent apparatus was taken down and preserved,
so that it can immediately be refitted. The lights will
consist, as before, of four revolving lamps. It is
expected that in a few weeks the port of Alvarado will
be wholly closed to foreign commerce."
RUSSIAN COMAIRRCIL—Letters from St. Petersburgh
of the Bth January say, that towards the end of Novem-
ber a caravan of 2042 camels lett the barter market of
Troisk, for Bucaria, with merchandize to the amount
of 1,712,753 rtibles. A caravan from Khina, of 200
camels, passed-the frontiers on the 24th of November,
but, on account of the badness of the toads, was obliged
to stop at the fortress of Sorotochick. On the '26th of
the same month, four caravans left tt:e barter market
of Petropaulofsk, consisting of 550 camels. These were
respectively for Bucaria, the Kokatit, the Tashkeens,
and the Steppe of the Kirghises. , , , ,
We perceive in the new appointmenti ttitite councils
of the Emperor of BRAZIL, the 'came of Marshal BRANT,
late Envoy from his Impetial Majesty to this country.
Marshal Bagtwr is a shrewd clever min. He hss twice
visited Europe, and seen somewhat of European society
and pi inciples. If, as far as lies with him, he shal
be found involving his mater in the Buelios Ayrean
war, he will hardly realize the expectations which those
who know him here, have formed of him.
A letter from Mexico, dated the 16th of Dee. states,

that since the fall of the castle of San Juan d'Ulloa, the
Government are taking measures for seducing the mi.
litary establishment, which there can be no occa,ion
now to keep up to its present scale. The market is over.
done with goods, and will remain so, it is feared, 'for
some time. The mining districts are all very busy,
which causes a good deal of money to circulate. Some
of the mines are now beginning to pr •dtice.
A recent financial statement of the Government of
Buenos Ayres, after stating the increase of the Republic
for the three quarters ending 1825. states the balance
then remaining in the Treasury at 2,759 659 dollars,
lexclusive of 255,160 due from the house of BARING.

The total amount of the stoppages in Glasgow, is
said to be from one hundred and ten to one hundred
and twenty thousand pounds ; and of that amount there
are, it is calculated, from seventy to 'eighty thousand
pounds of assets to meet the claims.
CORK Laws.—Meetings to petition for an alteration

in the Corn Laws, are spreading in the manufacturing
districts. In consequence of a requisition, signed by
the principal inhabitants of the Township of Lees, in
the parish of Ashton-under-Line, and addressed to the
Constables, a numerous and respectable meeting was
held on Wednesday last, at the Swan Inn, in that place;
when a set ies of aesolutinns, declaratory of the injurious
' effects of the Ares. nt Coin Laws upon the manufac.
turing interests of the country, and calling upon the
Legislature for a revision of them, were arced to.
Petitions, founded on the resolutions, were ordered to
be presented to both Houses,of Parliament.
In the Insolvent Debtors' Court, yesterday, James
Coale was ineffectually opposed by Mr. Lutwyche, of
Snow-hill, who held a bill for 201. accepted by the in-
solvent. Mr. Lutwyche admitted that he had visited
Cattle in prison, and endeavoured to obtain a prefetence,
which is an offence against the statute, and suhj cts the
offender, if the case is pronounced frivolous, to the costs
of opposition. The circumstances, however, did not
fully bear out the enforcement of the penalty, but the
Insolvent was discharged.
A dreadful accident occurred on Monday se'unight,
at the factory of Messrs. Edward and Wen. Rolling, in
Bridge-street, Little Bolton, to Elizabeth Kenworth, a
child only eight years and eight months old. 'I he gill
had been engaged rather more than a week in the
factory ; and on Monday morning she was putting
some rovings into the creel, when her clothes were
caught by tne shaft, which was not boxed off, or pro-.
teem!, as it ought to have been, and she was instantly
twisted up to the ci eel, with such amazing velocity,
that her head was entiiely separated from her body.
When the accident was discovered, the headless and
bleeding trunk was seen revolving, at a most Is ightful
speed, with the shaft and the engine was obliged to
be stopped before it could be extricated.
.Mr. Langford, of the Castle Brew. y, Lewes, was
robbed of his watch and 235. yesterday se'nni.:ht, by
