To the EDITOR of 771 E STATES3I4II.

North Shields, !day 15.
Stn—l take the liberty of addressing you, as • .
Editor of that truly valuable and impartial Paver,
THE STATESMAN, to request you would contradict
an assertion is The Courier, viz. that the inhabi.
tants of North Shields and its vicinity, generally,
have sent an Address to the king, against the pro.
ceedings of Middlesex, Westminster, Loudon,
&c. The fact is, out of a population trout 15 to
20,000 people, about twenty or thirty impudent,
turbulent, ignorant man, assembled for the above
purpose, withoutincluding, I may say, one per.
son of respectability, character, or talent; with-
out even a Magistrate, or any person of coast..
quence, to call the hleeting, ur presidoat it. I
have seen this Address .(as it is called), which I
thfor bombastic ignorance and style, exceeds
any thing of the kind I have ever seen, and is only
to be equalled by the audacity of sending smelt a
thing up to the King. It is only signed by abs.ut
forty at the outside, notwithstanding they went
(coin door to door, and were delighted to receive
any name, be it what it might. I doubt not,
however, it will prove an acceptable morceau to
Mr. PENCEVAI; and Co.—l doubt not there would
be a counter-address, but that the other is really be.
low contempt. This is a statement of facts, which,
Mr. Editor, you will oblige a sincere admirer of
your patriotic principles, by inserting in pint
widely-extended Paper. Yours,

J. B.

Eternal gratitude is due to the "sacred Nine"
of Rye, in Sussex, whose patriotism, under the
influence of Mr. Thomas Lambe, Tallj.Cuiter to
the Exchequer, has returned to Parliament Mr.
William Jacob, an eminent merchant of the city
of London, to denounee, as " profligate despera.
does," the Lord Mayor, and the Sheriff of Mid.
dlesex ;
Descend, ye Nine, descend and sing I
the praises of another Nine, whose time bids fair
to eclipse yours. The nine maids or Helicon may
some morning be forgotten,— but the nine patriots
of Rye, with *Mr. William Jacob, shall exist foe
ever in the memory of their grateful country, em-
balmed with the fragrance of a rotten borough,
and preserved in the pickle of political corrup.
I lion.—Stamford News.
It is mentioned in several of the German Papers,
that the arrears of contribution imposed on the
House of Austria, amounting to 25 millions of
florins, has been remitted, and the Neste Zritung
'contains the following singular anecdote on the
subject Before the Empress LOUISA entered
the French frontiers, the Emperor sent a plain
gold snuff.bnx. Surprised at this present, so dif-
fcrent from the earlier ones she received, which
were always more brilliant and valuable, she
opened it, and found an imperial receipt in full for
the 25 millions of arrears of Austrian contribution
money, with a letter in his own hand.writing.
The Empress accepted the- present with tears of
gratitude, and forwarded it by a courier to Vienna,
with the following note : •
.1 Os visa FRONTIERS OF FRANCE.—AII-ruling Provi-
dence also blesses-the Emperor, my father, and his faithful
, people. My tears fall on this paper—hut they are the pledges
of my love and fidelity."
The evidenCe of Hassell, the Mate of the Amt.
rican ship at Liverpool, relative to Jeffery theses..
.man, is corroborated by the testimony of an
officer of similar description, who arrived in the
Downs about a month back ; and seeing the state.
ments in the English Papers, communicated to the
American Consul at Deal information of exactly a
similar nature, namely, that Jefery was taken
from the island of Sombrero by an Atnertcaq
schooner, and landed at Marble-head, in the State
of Massachussets, where ho remains.
On Saturday, as Mr. Priestly, an . elderly gene,
tletnan, who • resided at Chelsea, was passirg
througla the Mall of St. Jam's., Pail, end white.
in the act of conversing with a child, and giving it
a penny to bey some milk, he was seized with a fit
and fell down. Some scents and water were ob.
tamed from Mrs. Crow, at the Stable-yard gate,
and a medical gentleman was procured, but before
his arrival, life had departed. The body was con.
veyed to the Ship public-house at Charing.cross.
ATTnNITTED Suit:lnt.—An interesting ;roving female at-
tracted attention in Hyde-Park, yesterday afternoon, lay de-.
liherately throwing herself 4.11 the serpentine
River. She had ...ailed in anger wibthtialk young couple of op-
posite sex, about italf an hour previously to the rash attempt,
and she walked alone by the side of the river in apparent agi-
tation of mind. At the time of her plunging into the
river,
two young men were walking amongst the trees, about 2do
yards from the spot, and they. rescued her front her impending
fate. She was about two minutes under water, but she soon
recovered. She turned out to be the daughter of a tradesman
in Swallow•street, and jealousy was supposed to have prompt.
ed'her to the rash act. .
CORN EXCII N GE, Max 21.—The arrivals of Wheat this
day snake a tolerable supply; early in the forenoon sales
were brisk, at a further advance, but rather dud afterwards.
