LISBON. Sept. 22.—The Brazilian frigate Netheroly,
Captain Taylor, has been cruising between this and the
Azores. She has captured and destroyed several vessels ;
among the captures are the ships Nova Amazona, and
Prazerea and Alegria, bound to Para. The Patacho St.
Antonio Vigilante, bound here from the islands, was
plundered and sunk by her. The Emilia, from Tercera,
was also plundered, but was allowed to proceed : I hear she
bought the crews of some of the captured vessels. I
have not been able to obtain any further particulars, but
the depredations committed are, I am sorry to say, not
confined to the above instances. The Perola' and Don
Pedro frigates, and the Providence brig of war, are sup-
posed to be in quest of her, or to endeavour to recapture
some of her prizes, but I imagine they will be too late.
Letters from Genoa, dated the 25th nit. state, that a
vessel under the Russian flag, with grain from Constan-
tinople, had been detained by the Spanish privateers.
COMM, OCT. 6.—lnformation is just received, that two
French King's cutters have lately beers in Guernsey Roads,
dispatched from Granville, in search of a Spanish privateer,
which had captured a French West India ship oil' the
Caskets, and said to be now cruising in the channel : as
well as two other armed vessels from Brest. The Spaniard
is a cutter called the Temerario, formerly the Lion, in the
service of the Customs, and was some time since sold at
Portsmouth.
PI LCIIARD FISHRRT.—The weather during the la,t
week has been very unfavourable fur the pilchard fishery ;
—the scans were not put to sea at all ; but we learn that
on Monday night several of the driving-boats in Mount's
Bay took from tire to six hogsheads of hsh each. On Tue•-
daq night, it blew a severe gale from the N. E. to N. N. W.
but several boats ventured out, and some of them took
from two to six hogsheads each ; such of them as did rot
return by 11 p.m. were compelled to keep the sea all nigh.:
and the ensuing day. it being impossible for them to ap-
proach the shore. 'Notwithstanding it continued to blo•.v
very bard, several boats went to sea on Wednesday night.
The fishermen say there are large shoals of fish in di ep
water —the gannets can be seen from the hills, darting
into the sea from a height above, with the rapidity of a
falling stone, in order to prey on the fish ; this being a
sure indication of the continuance of shoals of pilchards off
the coast, it is still hoped that if the weather should be-
come moderate, the scans may be used with effect. —(Wect

PERTH RACES, WrDNESDAV.
The company was very brilliant. The first cap was won by
Lord Kennedy's horse Negotiator; the purse by Mr.
horse Ledstone.—(Duadce Courier.)

Josu. HUDSON AND IVann.—The money, :iO/. a side,
was made Good between the above men, la it nig•ht, at
Shelton's, Hole in the Wall, Gate Street, Lincoln's Inn-
fields.—The remainder (501. a side more), is to he rna le
good on the 2Sth instant, at Itandall'3, over a Sporting
Dinner.

At the Perth Jury Court lately, a case was tried in which
a Mrs. Plan claimed wages and board for a year horn Mr.
Davidson, of the George Inn, Perth. It appeared she was
engaged as cook, but the first day she cooked the dinners
so wretchedly that she was dismissed. Several witnesses
proved her unfitness for the situation ; she sect the fish up
to dinner with the heads, fins, and skin black, and burnt to
a cinder: the soup was cold ; and the beef-steak was so
much burnt and spoiled, that it was sent hack from table.
The dinner for the passengi rs of the tilasg,ow coach was
so bad, that one gentleman said lie would never again
enter the house. In the kitchen, feathers, lien's-guts, and
every thing were lying in disorder, and the tables were
all dirty. A dinner ordered for a marriageparty was very
ill.dressed : one dish was veal cutlets, and a witness never
saw any thing of the kind cut in such a manner. In favour
of Mrg. Phin, Mrs. Connal, of Glasgow, certified, that she
was its months in her service, at 161. Ilia. a year, and gave
her satisfaction. Mr. Wallace, the bridegroom, for whom
supper was ordered, said no one found fault with it. In
answer to a question by Mr. Smythe, witness acknow- •
ledged that, it being his marriage night, he did not pav
particular attention to the supper. Lard Dillies—" Ver..y
likely, indeed, Mr. Wallace!" Mr. Smythe—" Did you eat
any part of it at all :" Witness—" I rather believe not ; 1
was not disposed." The evidence was summed up with
the perspicuity, ability, and eloquence which distinguishes
Lord Lilies.—Verdict for Mr. Davidson.
CORN EXCOANGR, Wednesday, Oct. S.—The arrivals to
this day's market are not considerable. Not having many
good dry samples of Wheat for sale,] such descriptions
are held by the factors at rather more money ; but there is
very little trade to day. Barley continues very du 1. Beans
and Peas have no alteration. The Oat trade remains in
much the same state as on Monday, with a tolerable good
sale for prime samples.
HOP iNTRLLIORNCL.--CANTCRRURY, Oct. 4.—The hop-
market this day was rather brisk; and there were about
500 pockets of new hops sold ; the prices may be quoted
at ftom from 171. ss. to 171. 10s. 1 here was no business
doing in bags.
SOUTHWARK. Oct. 6.—New Hops are selling from 111.
113. to 161. Ills.; the great difference between old and new
must cause more inquiry for them. The duty 20,0001. but
few will back that sum. Currency of Yearlings and old
! remain the saute.
1 !MAIDSTONE, Oct. 2.—Our hop-picking is now pretty
,: generally over, and a dismal finish it has been, for, with a
i few exceptions, being the thinnest land and planted with
the grape, the crop turns out to an almost nothing ; many
' acres laid at a bag per acre scarcely produced 1 cwt. As to
the trade we can say but little about, for the planters are
looking to and asking much higher prices here than they
' are worth in the Borough Market, consequently there is
nothing stirring. Duty stated at 20,000/.
WORCISTER, Seer. 27.—Not much business doing at
present. Prices rather higher than last week, bat few old
