Extract of a Letter from Eastbourne, August 1, 1323:
—" Within the last few days, a circumstance occurred,
here which has given rise to a conjecture, that lass excited
some interest, and obtained no small degree of credit. It
will, no doubt, be recollected by many of one readers, that
about two years CEO, the East Lothian Bank was robbed to
a very considerable amount, anal that a man of the name
of Barthwick (for whose apprehension a reward of one
thousand po.inde was ',tiered) was snopeeted of being deep-
ly concerned in the robbery. He was described as having
a srar on the left eye-brow, and another on the right leg,
which have led to a suspicion, that a stranger, who the
other day was seized by a tit anal soon after expired here,
was Borthavick. hie holy exhibiting the distinguishing
marks above stated, anal in other respects corresponding
with the description iriven of him. The body has in con-
sequence hen opened by a medical 'widen an, who took
the means necessary for preventing immediate putrefaction,
as the corpse, it is thought, will not be hurl. d until it shall
have been seen by some person of the East Lothian Bank,
to which the circumstance has been communicated. The
deceased, though he had resided here for the last seven
months, was known to no one, nor has any thing trans-
pired whereby to learn who or nth-, he was; all that was
found about his person was 3 key.: anal his lodgings were
as destitute of property as his pockets. Should any
thing farther transpire on the subject, you shall bear again
from me."
GREENLAND FISHERT.—A letter bas been received in
Aberdeen from Captain Small,of the Ilenrietta,of that port,
dated the 6th instant, which tees brought home by the ship
Greenlander, of Dieppe. To that date the fishing had
been very unsuccessful. The Henrietta had one fish, anal
two hundred seals, and Captain Small reports the following
as to the other Aberdeen vessels :—llercules, three small
fish; Dee, three ; Jane, five; St. Andrew, two; and the
Neptune, clean. He also reports the Manchester of Hall,
with nine fish, about fifty tons. Captain Small states,
that several vessels had got a number of small fish, but that
none of them exceeded lOU tuns of oil. The season had
been very unfatourable. In the month of May plenty of
fish were seen, hut owing to the state of the ice, the ships
could not get near them. In the month of June, the wea-
ther was very boisterous, and the Henrietta had seen no fish
since the 6th of that month. Captain Small dates his let-
ter from lat. 71. when he was endeavouring to get to the
land, but they had little prospect of success, owing to the
thickness of the weather, and the closeness of the dives.

The coach proprietors of Portsmouth, having felt ag-
grieved by a Van which daily carried Passengers to Lon-
don, at a cheap rate, gave the owner a douceur to diszon-
tingle it ; since which the coach fares have been raised (two
shillings) to the old standard.—A new Van has in cons.-
quence, been Induced to start at the old prices ; to meet
which, the coach proprietors intend to run one Also, at earl
more sedaced fares; so the public, by these various tour
petitions, way be assured of a cheap conveyance.—(Ports
mouth Telegraph.)
In the early part of J one there was so heavy a fall of snot;
near to Argnati, in the Papal dominions. that it reached
the surprising height of 32 feet. Forty-eight persons were
buried in it. Prompt efforts were made to extricate them
but from twelve the vital spark ban down for ever.—(Berne
Paper.)
On Saturday afternoon a shocking accident occurred a
Sberburn-lane•entl, by the overturning of the Blucher co..cls
A Ales. Mitchel, of Sheri:men, and Outhwaite, the coachman
had each a leg broken.—(Leeds Mercury.)
EXSCUTION.—On Tue.day, Joualhaa Cook, a quark
doctor, was executed at Fisherton, for a rape. lie made
very penitential address to the numerous persons assembled.
conelusling—" May the forfeiture of my life prove a lesson
to the living ; may the hope of Divine forgiveness, a kids
inspires st v SOUL, in your I Ist moments, elevate yours; may
(ion forgive you all your sins, as I trust he has forgiven me:
may tiou bless you—God bless yule—(loo bless you all." Ilia
father dying, when young, and his mother marrying a
wont' husband, his education was neglected, and he was
left to himself. At an early patina he connected hi:fibril
with bad company, which led him into numerous vice', the
remembrance of which embittered the termination of his
days, lie deplored his fatal neglect of the public worship
of lido, and his. criminal indifference to every thing belong-
ing to religion. With a view to support himself and a dis-
solute woman, with whom hr had cohabited during the last
eighteen mouths, he practised his quackery, by which he
imposed upon the credulity of the ignorant; end to that un-
hallowed praeice hejostly ascribed his ruin.
ft appears by au examination which took place at Guildhall
on Saturday. that a set of fellows are about town. whose prac-

to take possession. and after using theta the whOle of the day,
end exacting exorbitant fares, for which the real owners are
frequently summoned, turn them adrift in the street at

paunels.
Os tiaturday afternoon last, John Jennings, son of Mr.
Jennings, farmer of tiltelford, was found drowned in the river.
It is supposed he over-reached himself in attempting to cut
some rustles. Every exertion was made to restore animation,
but without effect. The youth, though only eight years old, is
said to have weighed nine stone. A short time since his pa-
rents were offered a considerable suns of money for the purpose
of exhibiting him u a prodigy of nature, but which they re-
fined. An inquest was held.—Verdict—Aeoidental Death.—.

,CELEBRATION 01. 111 I;:Tit U i►'ll OF TILE SPITAL-
FIELDS WEAVERS IN PARLIAMENT, BY TILE
WEAVERS OF NORWIcII.

( From the 'Norwich Mercury.)
At the Moment our paper is witting to press, the city of
Norwich in the .PCCHP of a triumphal procession, composes.
principally of the Jotirneytnen Weavers, whirls, whether
the cause, the good order, or the vast numbers which
compose its ranks be considered, most excite int• nse inter-
est both in the inhabitants of this place and in thu.e of all
the manufacturing districts. The comforts the honest
artisan can obtain even by the most rigid economy and the
severest industry are but few anti mosierate;—his indepen-
dence, his best feelings, and his moral character, are all in-
volved in the single circuses-ance 01 Isis !wing able to lob-
ta', in wares, the fair earnings of Isis labaur. The ocher
residents of Norwich are scarcely less nearly affected by
tae continuance of this ability so provide himself in the
operative manufacturer —for upon it depends the
amount of the pot 's rates. which pays all deficiencies.
Impressed by these considerations, the Journeymen
bare determined to keep alive the spirit that is now awakened,
and by a striking movement to urge upon tile citizens and the
kingdom at large, those strong facts which hale obtained for
the weavers of tspitaltields the victory in i'arliument over
those political economists, vr .o taking men, abstract tneory
for their guide, have contended for the ahnliti•ssi of tie la
which bind the master and the servant alike to b; the ne-
Ciiioll of the Magistrates, in respect to an agreed list prim• for
the wages of manufactured articles. 'rule writ vers here perceived
the analogy between their case and that of Spitatfields,and whit
p.vmptitude and a spirit which .to honour to their caparity,
they deterusi redo, once to git ea proofof their sympathy with
the Metropolitan operatives and an impulse to their own
cane, should occasion a rise to make t their own.

[Here follows a ropy of the hand-bill, which they put into
circulation, and which was inserted in the STaTzs]las of
Saturday.]
The spark kindled, and thousands a•eamb ed at the ap-
pointed place of rendezvous. The whole of the minting,
indeed, has been devoted to the celehr soon. At six o'clock
the street of Sr. Martin's at Oak, the (puler where the
principal Club-houses are situated. was aroused by a salute
of twenty-one cannon fired before the front of the Dolphin
public-house. These were answered by ;Enos from the Ara-
bian Horse ; the Buck ; the Dolphin, Sr. Mary's ; the Brit-
ish Li 4444 ,St. Peter's ; the Plotigh; St. Martin's ; the Fox and
Hcfrinds; the ticorge ; the I,ltieen of Hungary, St. Marga-
ret's ; the Bur k, St. Martin's at Palace ; the White Fri as.
Sr. James's ; the Shuttle, Ileighasu ; tne Jolly Maltsters ;
and the Sun, New Caton.
At ten o's lock a numerous depuPation from the several
Clubs waited on the Hoit..r suit Proprietors of the Nor-
wich Mercury, to express the thanks of the Jourheymen
Weavers of Nom ids and the County, for the support that
Journal has given to their cause. Mr. Moore addressed'
she Editor on behalf of the body. in plain, but sensible and
feeling terms, and received in return the yr.t.ful thanks of
Messrs. Burka and Kinnebrook and of Mr. Bacon, for suds
a testimony of their approbation.
Soon after eleven the procession was mar4salletl in Cha-
pel-field, and marched off in the following order to the'
-Town Close, the residence of Arthur Belur, Esq. the pre-
sent Sheriff of Norwich, one of the inatmfartnerrs who
ra•ries on probably the most extensive manufactory of silk
and worstest•l articles in the city, and a man beloved by the
weavers for the hold and liberal stand lie last year wade
against a proposed reducion of the wages.
ORDER or PROCESSION.—FIags and a hand of music in
front ; the three deputies of the old Committee of W • • ,
Samuel Moore (known by the title of The Wearers' Cham-
pion), John Cux and Richard Brown and the Cuturniree,

I bed. with the significant motto. 01,l Priees—Arabian Horse

". -.At intervals the following banners were elevated rig
poles, and borne by men :—Our good Supporters : J. W.
Rokherds. Worth and Carter, Martinean and Son, J.
Frantic, Bolingbroke and Co. %V. Belot., E. Hinds, Breeze
anal Bacon, J. Witte, Stni•li, Antis and Co. W. Ilussley,
Spyinssfield and Co. J. and W. Herring. Norwich wee-
Weft conduct yourselves with the same propriety as the
Spltakielil Weavers have done—Samuel Moore, the Wea-
vers' -Friend—A. Belot., Cie Weavers' Friend—May Go-
vernment always give us such laws as Masters and Men
mg live—John Harvey, our Friend from first to last—
Peter Moore, Esq. Member for Coventry—Unanimity, the
Cause of Loyalty. May Norwich flourish. God Save be
King; lung may be reign (with a Crown at the top.)—
Ouse country is dear, but our Liberty is dearer—New Cat-
ton Heroes—Wymondham Weavers—lndependent Sons of
Freedom."

The procession was accompaniei by an immense con-
course ; arrived at the Town Close, where they gave
nine linens to Mr. Belue, and concluded by very long-
continued plaudits.
From the Townelose they proceeded to M r.W.Beloes,Or.
ford Hill, where they cheered that gentleman. From Or-
ford Hill the procession set on, and went to the ware-
house of John Harvey, Esq. in St. Clement's, where that
gentleman' was. He was greeted with the loudest accla-
mations, which be returned by tne most respectful saluta-
tions. The weavers are now (two o'clock) partilinz the
different streets. It is, we understand, their intention to
pay r speedo! notices to the following houses:—
J.. W. Robberds, John and Wm. Herring, I'. 0. Spring-
field: Smith and Co. Thos. Martineau and Sons, l'ilomas
Barnard, John Francis, IVm. Belot, Smith, Antis, and Co.
James Watts, Wm. •llosley,
Oilier; of the Manufacturers will probably be included
in their respectful gratulations, but the hour precludes the
• poisibility of our eolle,cting the exact particulars in tiine.
Tbefe Are some bouses„which, we undeistand,. *re to be
.pltsseti * riteitce.:Vter the procession the .Clubs will
:Tat'
le
eversi,ng together, ana the principal club houses
ir e liuminated. _
We have no doubt, from the ternittebf the men, that the
whole will be conducted and concluded in peace and gocil
order, without dicurbauce or offenCe. 1
