We have received acc .unts from Algiers of rather a
late date, by which we learn that the people appeared
gradually abandoning their piratical practicer. The
Dey had granted the coral fishery of the coast from
Bona to Oran to the Neapolitan Government on condi-
tion of receiving one half. This would employ a num•
her of fishermen and create a market, and in fact ap-
peared a step towards civilization. The Aga of the
Janissaries had been in the interiorfor two months, and
under pretence of compelling the Arabs to pay a tribute
they cculd not afford, had sabred about three thousand
of them, and taken all their property and cattle of every
de,ctiption, and even their women. His force consisted
1;f about five thousand men. •

• . DUTRUCTIVI EARTIQUAKICCOUIRS from St.
!Jag° de Cuba state, that the most awful earthquake ex-
perienced.for. fifty years, took place on the 18th of Sep-
:Tinter, between three and four o'clock, a.m. by which
one half of the town was destroyed. There were two
shocks, the second more severe than the first ; the Jura-
, tion of each about one minute. The shock began by
a noise resembling the rumbling of heavy loaded wag-
gons dragged over a paved archway, and finished with
a tremendous explosion, like the simultaneous discharge
of an immense number of cannon. Men, women, and
children, left their beds, and fled to the Cathedral,
ami,lst the most heart-breaking cries and shrieks, cross-
ing themselves, and craving protection of the Priests,
who are stated to have been most active on the occasion,
blessing the waters of the baths, into which the naked
and distracted inhabitants plunged themselves, and re-
mained for hours immersed to the neck. The Clergy
have claimed the honour of preserving the whole island
from destructiOn by the efficacy of their prayers. The
earthquake was felt at Kingston, Jamaica, on the same
day and hour.
A Memorial has been presented to their Royal High-
nesses the Duke of YoaK and the Duke of CLARRNCIfy

from the Spitalfield Silk Weavers, praying that they
may be graciously pleased to encourage their manufac.
tures in preference to those of foreigncrs, to which the
memorialists have received gracious answers complying
with their request. The Mansions now erecting for
their Royal Highnesses are to be furnished with silk
manufactured in this country, and also Windsor Castle;
and no doubt the Nobility and Gentry will follow the
humaneesample of the Royal Family.
&MORN Da/am—Thursday evening a numerous
meeting of the members of the City of London Artillery

Company was held at the Armoury-house, City-road,
for the purpose of taking into
.consideration a proposi-
tion for the increase of the corps. A long discussion on
the subject took place, in the course of which, Mr. Bell,
a respectable coal-merchant, of Kingsland-road, op-
posed the measure in a very warm manner. He had,
however, no sooner sat down than he was seized with
an apoplectic fit, and immediately expired. His son,
a youth, who was in the next room,as soon as he heard
of the circumstance, became frantic, and has since
remained in a dangerous state. He has left a widow
and fourteen children.
Some short time since a young man, nephew to a
Mrs. Cook, who occupies a farm at Fole, in the parish
of South Brent, in the county of Somerset, went into the'
orchard for the purpose of ejecting a boar, at the time
committing a trespass. The young man struck at him
with a stick, big missed his blow, the animal attacked
him furiously, and before assistance could be rendered
to the young man, his side was dreadfully lacerated,
and one of the tusks having passed into the chest,
through the midriff into the cavity of the bowels,
opened such a communication with the intestines as to
cause many of them to protrude through the aperture.
The poor fellow lingered in great agony, and died..
A poor hard working countryman, whose name, we
believe, is John Maytum, and who has been a long time
employed by Mr. Collis, in tepairing roads, was last
*eek committed to St. Augustine's gaol, to work at the
tread-mill fur .5 months, for possessing himself of a hare!
The following joke is related by Lord BACON :—A
notorious rogue being brought to din bar, and knowing his case to
be desperate, instead of pleading, he took to himself the liberty of
jesting. and thus said, " I charge you in the King's name to seizt
and take away that man (meaning the Judge) in the red gown, to.
Igo in dallier lit toy 4fe because of Was."
