The ships of the line which had been ordered to be
built at Bombay by the Persian Maier., of teak wood,
are. it is understood, to he sent home in frame, that more
employ might be given to nor artisans at home, in pre-
ference to the native Wider% in that country. The
Ganges hat in eonselnence brought the net-emery timber
for one line-of-hattle ship, and part of another; some of
it is of uncommon fine dimensions, being seventy-five
feet in length.
PORTSMOUTS. OCT. 12.—0 n &today lut the new

BAILLINASLORFAIR.—Extrect of s letter dated Ger.7:—
od &laving so opportunity, I send you an account of the
fair of Billinaaloe, as far as it has gone ; the fall on
k sheep since last year has been from eight to ten shillings
each; no sheep from the county Clare brought one
ponud ; and a very extensive landlord of our county,
who farms a part of his own estate, old hi* wetbers at
I it. each, and his ewes at -Is. There are several lots
from our IVO tidy going home unsold, ninny of which there
baa not been it 'lenity offered for, uhich is* thing never
known at this fair before. This gives a fitsishing blow
to the farmers; it was a contmoa thing to see the land-
lords, brand un the sheep over the owners, so as to be
sure of receiving the produce. and tiara a hem he gets this
it is hard if he complains. This 1, the fonrth day of the
fair, add still there are ministers of sheep in the fair try.
ing to force a sale; this number sold, up to last night,
was 71,900, unsold 12,000. The rollmop prices were,
for wethcr. from 131. to I Ss. rash. for ewes, from 9s. to
15s. This is about one-fifth of what they nuttily sold',
for in goodtigres.—Vertu little business doing iu the horse

The recent negotiation between the felons who stole,
the notes of the Ipswich Bank, and the proprietors ofl
the notes, exhibits a lamentable and disgraceful defect
in our system of Police. That these plunderers should
be able to find men of character to become their advo-
cates in such negotiation is a proof of the rottenness and

At this moment, and especially to a peruse who does not
take time to reflect, the farm will sell for six thousand
pounds; but I mast be ruined shortly, and when I am
rained, there will not come another in my place to lose
two hundred pounds a year; and down comes the farm
to its proper price: to the price which reason, and which
all the experience of mankind fixes upon it, namely, a
price proportioned to the price of the produce of the
land.—Recollect, if you pleas*, however, that I am here
speaking of purchases to be made ii gold; for, it is clear
from every thing that we behold, that nothing eke can
have a stable value in this country at this time. Aoy
contract that you may make, whether of hoed, annuity,
mortgage, Rinds, or any thing else, may be affected by
the acts of the Government. which bas the power of mi.-
king paper pass for money. All these belong to our owe
domestic concerns. They are confined to ourselves. A
mortgage which I may make to-day, may possibly be
come of a tenth part of its value to-morrow. lint the va-
lue of gold is not to be affected by any thing that our
government can do. Its value bears the stamp of the
concurrent tacit convention of all nations in the world;
this value camel be changed, therefore, by any acts of
our government : it Is sure as the earth on which we
treed, and is, at this time, the only really solid possession.
Clot, therefore, some gold; and keep it if you rau.—Oen-
'deem I hasten to relieve you from the inconveniences

ble an authority, I venture to question whether the
farmers, who, the other day, sold their ewes at twelve
shillings nod six prune apiece, while their rent and taxed
were epee a wale of ewes at forty shillings a-piece; I
venture to quintets, gentlemen, whether those farmers
god sedition and plesphemy to be the greatest danger of
the timer, and the greatest esils against which they
have to contend. I will venture further to state, gentle-
yen, that a reformed Parliament would turn its attention
much less to the means of suppressing sedition
:mod blasphemy, which have really no existence in
ihe country. than to devising just and equitable means
.sef causing the Immeoie mass of property possessed by
the Church to contribete towards the alleviation of the
burdens width now pea ail the Industrious classes to
the earth. Gentlemen. you who now stand before me,
I are the persons to 'het that grand measure of Reform
without which there cannot, in my opinion, ever again
he harmony and happiness in England. If you will
Mme forth, not with your horses and your swords; hit
with your lawful and constitutional applications and pe-
titions; if you will be as zealous in your endeavours to m-
itten the evils crested by the war, as you were in the
of that war, we shall have that reform which
will be safe-gaurd of wrath But the worst of it
le, men are more slow to move in cases where the whole
community is to benefit by their exertions; than they are
In cases where they think they are in pursuit of their
wn immediate interest. Nevertheless. let me indulge
the hope that you will now do your duty with as much
heal as you did what you were deluded to believe to be
your duty before; arid if you do this, be you assured,
that, as you now suffer more in proportion than the other
classes of society, the benefit of the change will be en.
joyed by you in a greater proportion. In thanking you
once more for the honour you have done me. I meat at

After this, the Chairman gave as a toast," Reform in
" the Commons' House of Parliament," which was
drunk with great enthusiasm. Mr. Comm? then pro-
posed the health of "Mr. Palmas, who is now labour-
" iog to bring forth the great County of York in a le-
" gal and regular manner in the cause of Reform."—
He eulogised the talents, the character and the efforts of
that gentleman, and his health %as drunk with every
mark of esteem and gratitude. Mr. COSBETT advised
the gentlemen present to use their best efforts in their
several counties, in order that petitions from the yea-
now" in every part of the Kingdom might meet the
Parliament at its neat assembling.

DIIIIADIOL SUMO' IN WWI PARlL—SlaUnlay morn-
ing. a young man, having the appearance of an embar-
rassed gentleman, was observed walking about Ilyde
Park, near Cumberland-gate, in such an agitated man.
ner, as to excite the attention of passengers. After doing
this for some time he beckoned to a boy, who proceeded
towards him, on which he presented a letter to him,
and directed him where to take it to. The boy received
seine money from the unfortunate young man, who then
walked souse distance from Cumberland gate, with a
berried step, and pulling a large pistol front his pocket,
be placed the muzzle to his mouth, and instantly pulled
the trigger. His head was completely shattered, his
brains flew in various directions about the Park. Ile
dropped the pistol, fell hick, and it is almost needless to
say. that he was dead. The inumentary stun:ion was
terrific. Several persons proceeded towards the corpse ;
and information was carried to St. tleorge's workhouse,
Meant-street, and the body was carried thither in a shell.
Oa searching the pocket of the deceased. a letter was
&rand, directed to a person residing in Clorkenwell,
to whom a communication was forwarded of the sad
event.
