• Nothing in former periods can bear a comparison
With the present distressed state ortrade throughout
the Clothing and Manufacturing Districtsparticu-
lady as it regards what are termed soft and fancy
goods, which can no where find a market, unless it
be at prices most ruinously low. The Wool Markets,
throughout the whole of this extensive county, were
never known to be more flat, even in the worst period
of the. late war. There being no demand for manu-
factured goods, there can of course he none for the
raw material. Speculation, and an inordinate thirst 1
for gain, added in some deree to foreign conapcil
don, and -ittramsound polity, l'ave given a severe
blow to the Commerce of This once highly-favoured
kingdom, from the effects of which it is not likely
speedily to recover. Nor is the spirit of disaffection
engendered among the working classes, by the.privii
does they endure though the want of emploemerit,
one of the least•eiils inherent ou the present state
affairs. Thousands of our best' and Most experienced
Artisans have already quitted their native lard; -to
exercise their talents and industry for the benefit of
various foreign nations, which they will contribute
to-enrich in an equal ratio as the withdrawing of so
much capital and talent must tend to impoverish
their. own. In fact, there is no blowing where the
evil will stop ; for in spite of the universal peace en-
joyed, trade and manufactures grow more depressed ;
and the Provincial Papers, more gloomy than the
London Gazette, sicken us continually with their
appalling lists of failures, bankruptcies, compound.
ings, and assignments. Scarcely a' day elapses that
does not make us acquainted with the ruin of some
great commercial firm ; and houses, once thought as
term as the rocks that bound our e sea-girt Isle," are
twept away in the ruinous vortex of speculation.
Numerous families and individuals, engaged in the
manufactures of Lancashire and Yorkshire, are pre-
paring to emigrate this spring—most of them to the
United States ; though not a few now turn their at-
tention to South America; and there can be no doubt
(as soon as affairs get settled on a firmer basis) but
that interesting and fine portion of de Globe. will
materially relieve Europe of its over-burthened and
half starved population, and open immense sources
of wealth to the professors of every usefulart or Cal-
ling. Letters are continually arriving, here, both
from Buenos Ayres and the other Patriotic provinces;
And all speak in the most glowing terms of the cer-
tainty of the success of the Independent cause, and
anticipate the best results to the whole civilized world,

The death of Mr. Patustpthe enterprising traveller
in the interior of'Africa, seems now to be placed be-
yond a doubt. ThPtollrisiing information of that
event corroborates, in part,- the statement given by I
AMADI FATOUMA, who was dispatched in quest of
Mr. PARK from the Gambia, some years since, bin is
at variance with the circumstances attending it. Mr.
Bownurc. H, who conducted a successful Mission from

Cape Coast Castle to the King of the ASIIANTEM,
obtained, while at Coomassie, the summer before

last, the following account during one of his visits to
BABA, the Chief of the Moors. A Moor, who had

just come from Timbuctoo, was sent for sir purpose
of seeing Mr. Bowoucti, and who did not express
the surprise that was antkcip,ated on seeing a whe
man, ancf liCeoutited for it from having he:ore seen
three whitemen at Boussa. This naturally created a

desire of being informed of the particulars, and BABA
interpreted to Mr. BOWDITCII the following relation
which the .Moor gave That some years ago, a
vessel, with masts, suddenly appeared on the Quolla,
or Niger, near l3oussa, with three white men, and some
black. The natives, encouraged by these strange men,
took off provisions for sale, were well paid, and re-
ceived presents besides : it seems the vessel had an-
chored. The next day, perceiving the vessel going
on, the natives hurried after her (the Moor protecting,
from their anxiety to save her from sunken rocl:s with
which the Quolla abounds ;) but the whife men mis-
taking, and thinking they pursued for a bad pur-
pose, deterred them. The vessel soon after struck;
the men jumped into the water and tried to swim,
but could not for the current, and were drowned.

He thought some of their clothes were now at Wan-
waw, but he did not believe there were any books or
papers." This story was afterwards repeated to Mr.
BORDITCH by another Moor, but who was net, like
the former, an eye-witness of the transaction. An
Arabic manuscript was also obtained by this Gentle-
man, which corroborates the fate of Mr. PA roc and
his companion, Lieutenant MARTYN, and adds, that
one of the bodies had been found and buried. There

is, however, reason to hope that some further infor•
mation may be obtained. Mr. Huircutsox, who was
left as Resident Agent at Coomassie, learning from
BABA, the person before mentioned, that a Moor was
-about to depart for Jenne, sent a letter to-two Euro-
peans who resided there, and whom he supposed were,
some belonging to ,EAries E*peclition, as seven of
the soldiers are yet unaccounted . for, mho were. in
good health when 4parated from their Commander.l
There wereolso, if seems, nito team relent at Thilbut.:
too, 'who have been there for several`-feats. Thn
N9ors assured Airoklutcinaott that_there was no
doubt of the letter,rear4slg its- destination, and tiOt
Vehtleman accompanied # wjd) two notices in Ens-,
fish and Arabic, offering a reward far'infotination.
We extract the following article from a Kingston Paper
t" The following are the names of Officers carried off since the
lifsl of September last,' by the fever and ague so prevalent at I
Old Providence.:—Colonels. Irving and Henry, Captain Arnold,
Assistant Commissary Best, Lieutenants Smith, Itoberrsols
llobre,and Burke, Canon of Chili's nephew, Doctor Clark, and
istany'rnore, whose names are not immediately recollected, and
which does not include a very great number of unfortunate sea..
men, who were considerably exposed, constantly layin; about
in, the bushes, with no covering exceft the clathes s n therm
Very little medical aid was afforded them ; in fact, nu medicine
could be procured, and, froin the very great scarcity of provi-
sions, no nourishment could be obtained for them. One hun-
dred and screen British seamen and soldiers have deserted, and
the greater part of them went .o far, as to venture themselves
in small caboes, hardly fit to contain more than four or five,
trusting themselves to the open ocean. Alasty wore would have
followed, had *not the retraining boats been so guarded as to
prevent the possibility of an escape. An English seaman, named
Nelson, late of the British navy, was hung for expressing his
discontent—the unfortunate man knew nothing of his sentence,
midi brought to the place of execution, where he requested per-
mission to write to hi friends in London, and to lee allowed
time to say his prayers; the framer was refused Lim, and the
latter request was, after some hesitation, !ranted. Neither MG-
M'S or soldiers have received pay for I.t months, several of
Whom are aliner,t in a state of nakedness. Several runaway Ne-
.groes are at Old Providence from this island, and ono, a Sambo,
stained Thomas, belonging to Pedro estate. Morae-bay, has
'recognized by a Gentleman there: be says, that before
lthvingJasudca, he received an advance of eight dollars from an
Officer. The whole of Aury's Beet is on shore (except the Con-
gress),hett ivhlchis so much injured as to be completely unsea-
worthy. - All the British Officeri have left Providence in dis-
gust, and several English seamen are left behind only for want
ditOrpOrtiinky to get away : poor wretches, they are much to
be pitied, as they were . completely allured away, and now
are in a most deplorable state. The Officers attribute the great
desertion in part to the tyranny of Admiral Boguie, a man dot-
tinge or humanity,. and who was formerly a bother at St. no.
mars: he possesses a most tyrannical disposition' and the sailors
hold him in such dread, that on the gi st of November last,
Ihere were upwards of .100 men known to be absent in the bw.h ;
pod at the present moment, in consequence of the sickly state of
the garrison, not snore than 60 men can be mustered capable of
thrvice."
At the Derby Assizes, seventeen prisoners received sentence

was very well known to those to whom he had the
honour of addtesseig hizevel4-and who resided at
Buckland, in the county of Visits, The defendant,
'Mr. Backville Gwynne, was themollesenta ive ef the '
family of the (iwynnes of-Glanbran' ano was pos.
Wised of one of the Lirge,t eitates in the coliaty, of
theNalue of nearly,soool. a yeats. Ile was also Co-
lonel of the Carmarthen Local Militia. The father
of the defendant died when his son was yet a miner,
and, upon that -melancholy event, the father of the
plaintiff received him into his house, and supplied
the loss of which PROVIDENCS had deprived him.—
Of course the parties lived upon terms of the strictest
intimacy. The plaintiff married his present wife in
the month of Jure, 1809, a period of about ten years
;rem the present time--he was then 30.—his Lady
was 23. he was young, lieautiful, accomplished,
and of a noble family. She was the daughter of the
late Lord Hereford, and sister to the present Lord.
It was a match founded in affection. The plaintiff
took her almost without a pet-tic:l. Her fortune was
only 1509/. in respect of which he settled upon her
5004 a year. They settled originally in the neigh-
bourhood of the plaintiff's father, where they resided
for several years in the eneyrrient of perfect felicity.
She then expressed an ar.xioes desire to be settled in
the neighbourhood of her noble brother. The plaintiff
sacrificed a great part of his fortune to gratify this
,vish, and purchased a beautiful residence called Liao-
dovery, within a short distance 'of Lord Hereford's,
where he resided until that painful occurrence took
place which led to the present inquiry. The distance .
of Llar.dovery from the defendant's residence was 30
miles. Notveithstanding this distance, however, there
visits were very frequent,_ On those occasions the
plaintiff was accompanied by his wife, and the de-
fendant, in returning the visit, by his; for he was a
married man, and the father of not fewer than nine
children. In consequence of the purchase which Mr.
Thynne Gwynne had made, he found it necessary to
make frequent journies to London, in order to arrange
the contract. It was observed during these absences
and particularly at the latter end of the year 1816,
that the defendant was a little more frequent in his
visits at the plaintiff's house than he had before been ;
but as on most of these occasions he was accompanied
by his wife, the suspicions of the plaintiff were never
excited. It happened in the month of April, 1816,
on one of the occasions -when Mr. Thyone Gwynne
was in town, and when his Tea4)'.w4s.trpon a eisit at
the house of the defendant, that an occurrence took
place whirls:excited 'much of paiisftd feeding; Mrs.
Thynne Gwynne had been therein..ctinlpauvith

return home on the 3d of May- Oic morriing pre-
vious to her departure fromthxid
the house of theeleten-
dant, the defendant was observed to come into the
room when the ladies were together, and to hind to
Mrs. Thynne Gwynne ahewspiper. Mrs. Sackville
Gwynne either saw, or suspected she saw, a note de-
livered with the newspaper, to Mrs. Thynne Gwynne.
She hastily demanded the paper, which was imme-
diately given into her hand. She then demanded the
note which she suspected had .been delivered by
her hatband ; but he (Mr. 3ervis4 believed this sus-
picion was unfounded ; however, such was its effect
at the moment, and it was with deep regret he was
under the painful necessity of stating the fact, that
upon Mrs. Thynne Gwynne denying she had 'seen any
note, Mrs. Sackville Gwynne struck her a blow, and
called her an adulteress ! The fact, as it ciceurred,
was communicated by letter to the plaintiff, at that
time in London. The defendant, anxious far his own
honour, hastened to town to the plairr to give
an explanation of the matter, and the.plaprtifflbeette
