The following extract of a letter from Maranham, dated the 19th of November, and received on Saturday, wlholly lisproves the assertions lately imade in the Lisboni papers ot disturbances in that province:-" The advices from the in- terior are daily becoming more favourable, and the shop- keepers begin to send supplies to their country customers, in consequence of which the demand for goods continues to in- crease. The Eclair English brig of war, and a small Bra- zilian brig, are the only square-rigged, vessels in port." Lord Gwyydyr abatcd from 30 to 40 per cent. upon the rents due by his tenants in Perthshire, at Alartinmas last. His Lordship has been liberal in a proportionate degree to his tenantry in North lW'ales.-Slhrewsbury Clhronicle. It appears by a letter fromn Long Island, New York, dated the 19th of December, that the Rev. MIr. Colton, about whose disappearance there have been so many reports, has arrived in the Llnited States. PORTSM OUTH, Feb.7.-(From the zampshire Telegraph.) -Extract 1rom a letter received here from an officer of his Imperial Brazilian Majesty's ship Netherhoy, Captain Taylor, dated Bahla, Dec. 1,1823:-_' We have refitted here after our tour months' cruise in pursuit of the Portuguese squadron. We followed them to Aa- ranham, crossed the Equator, and cruised a single ship off`the Rock of Lisbon 14 days where we fell in with their line-of.battle ship, and disturbed the Adaniral,after hc had hailed us,by a few erape.shot into his stein windows, and made our escape with esse. During thc crnise we captured or tdestroyed 17 prizes, 10 of which were despatch- ed for Rio: two of themn are valuable ships. On Tuesday, arrived at the Motherbank his Majesty's ship Jlfedina, 20, Captain P. D. II. Hay, from the AMediterranean, having comn pleted her period of three vears on that station. Shc sailed from Malta on the 21st of December, in company with a squa- dron under the orders of Cantain G. 1W1. Hansilton, C. B., of the C'ambrian, which consisted ot; besides that ship, the Eunyalus, 42, Captain Hiion. A. IV. J. Clifford, C.

Scott, which were destined to block- ade the port of Tunlis, in the event of the Bey refusing to comply wvith certain requisitions, whici were, principally the imme- cliate release of several persons, who, while under the protection of the British flag, had been forcibly seized by a Tunisian corsair, and thrown into slavery ; and that the Bey should sign a treaty, to se- cure the British flag from such insulting aggressions in future. IVith the first, the Bey readily cmniplied * but it was not until after some delay, and orders had bren given to the British Cornsul to strike his flag, and prepare for immediate embarkation, that he acceded to the second part of the demand. The rensenibrance of the disastrous fate of Algiers, was, it was believed bv She squadron, too strongly impressed on tie Bey's memlory, to suffer himn to try whether Eng- land would carry her threats into execution on the present occasion. The service being performed, the ships of the squadron dispersed to their respective stations, viz. the Cambrian and DcsMtch to Corfu Elnrynluzs and Rose to Smnyrna; the iMIarti,r to ailta It appears from the quarterly return of the Coroner of Manciester, presented last week, that during the precedinlg three months, out of the ntmnerons cases of death, no less than twenty- nine have been owing to drunkenness, and twenty-six to drownin'g, caused by the eff'.cte of intoxication.-Blntckburn PMail.

NEW-ROSS. COUNTY OF WEXFOsRD, Jan. 28.-On1 Atonday an English sailor was niarried in church to a Roman Catho- lic girl of this town, and while the ceremony was performing, a crowd assembled about the church, and made so much noise, that iMlr. Doyle, the parish priest, a most respectable clergyman, who lives in the neighbourhood, came out and dispersed thetn; but as the bride was returning home by the most private way, she was met by the mob, and forced to take shelter in a house not far from the church, froni which she was pursued by the mob, to the amuount of at least 500, as I am infortmed and pelted by them with cabbage- stalks and other missiles, the whole length of two streets, without a door being opened, or a hand stretched out, to protect her, until she arrived at her master's house on the quay. The bridegroom, fear- ing that his being in her company would expose his bride to insult, went honie another way, never supposing that the most furious and brutal mob could attack an unprotected female. HUNT'S ROASTED CoRN.-(From the -lechanics Me- gaziuec).._.r. Hunt has for some timze beenl gulling the public by seling roasted corn at one shillinig per pound: a bushel of rye, which costs four shillings, contains 481b.: therefore Dlr. Hunt nmakes eleven hundred per cent, profit. Ifis roasted corn really makes a wlolesomae, nutritious, and palatable beverage; but there can be no reason why he should get such an enormous profit. Let any of miy brcthren take a common frying-pan, pit into it a small piece of lard or butter (as big as a marble), and then a quantity of rye, and let him keep it over the fire (stirring it with a spoon to prevent its burning), until it become a go brown colour, and lie will have exactly tie *ame thing chr which r. Hunt charges a shil- ling a pound. This roasted rye feints an excellent and nutritious substitute for ceffee, and will save manya shilling to every mechanic who may use it.
