PIRACY. "
Extract of a Letter from Constantinople.'

The Helen, Pointz, from London, has been attacked
.by pirates, off the island of Andros, and plundered of,
it is supposed, about one third of her cargo. Iliving
since arrived at Smyrna, means were taken to ascertain
the property lost, and about tot ty packages had already
been ascertained as wanting, which the Captain was
prevented from knowing at the time, having been beaten
and driven away when he attempted to note the goods
which the Greeks were carrying off.
A similar misfortune has since attended the Diadem,
Captain Airtch, from London, nearly in the same place ;
three boats load of goods were carried off, and they are
pursuing the same means at Smyrna to ascertain the
extent of the loss as stated above. Frogs the extract of
the log in my possession, it seems that Captain Airtch
made some resistance, and it is to be wondered at that
no severe treatment of the crew followed.

GLASGOW. JULY 4.—The arrival of the Jamaica

DIANSION-110USe.

THRlATinnlie E'iur, bit wife, were
charged with sending a variety of letters, containing threats of an
abominable description, to the brother of the former, a respectable
Gentleman residing in the city, for the purpose of extorting money.
The complainant stated, that within the last few months he had
advanced the defendants 601. although they had no claim whatever
upon him, and were able to support themselves respectably if they
thought proper ; but that, not satisfied with that, they had annoyed
him by sending a number of letters, frOm the language contained in
which he was apprehensive of personal danger, and therefore ap-
palled to the Lord Mayor for protection. The complainant pro.
duced upwards of a dozen letters, the nature of which are unfit foe
publication.
The defendants, in answer to the charge, pleaded poverty, and
said that the complainant was well able to support them, and ought
to be compelled to do so. They then entered into a long history of
family transactions, of no interest whatever except to the parties.
The Loan Marcia said the evidence was quite sufficient to war-
rant him in committing the prisoners. He, however, remanded
them, to give the Clerk time to prepare the depositions against them.

GUILDHALL.

On the last day of the City Election, two men, named David
Dixon and John Hill, were taken into custody for distributing
squibs against Mr. Aldeimak Wood, to which the printer had
omitted to fix his name and place of abode. They at first stoutly
denied that they could tell who employed them to distribute the
bills ; but after 24 hours' imprisonment, under a threat of three
months' had labour, and a feeling of disappointment that their
employers had not provided legal assistance for them, they made
soch confessions, that upon their evidesfee (one of them bring the
pressman who worked off the impressions) six informations were
filed by the City Solicitor against Mr. Roberts, a printer in Shoe.
lane, for not affixing his imprint to the said squibs, which called
upon the t•atholics to vote for Mr. Alderman. Wo. d. The men
were discharged, after being imprisoned a week, and on Saturday
the informations were heard before Mr. Alderman Mister.
Mr. Humphreys, for the defendant, however, pleaded a mis-
nomer, chat his client was styled William Robarts, instead of Wil-
liam John Hobart., and the whole of the informations were con-
sequently quashed. •
The City Solicitor assured Mr. Humphreys that pew informa-.
tions would be filed.—Oh! very well, said Mr. H. smiling as be
retired; but " sufficient for the day is the evil thereof."
