Some disturbances-had broken out at Ceara, ztid several persons had left.it an(d repaired to MIaranham. We have received the Demerara Roval Gazette to the 18th of July. The colony remained tranquil. We per- ceive in the Gazette of the15dth, a notice from the Rev. NV. S. Austin, that lie ari( his lady inten(led quittingt the colony in 14 days or six wveeks from that date. The Poet- office packet arrived on the 15thb; it brought papers con- taining thefirst portl&t- of the debate in the House of Comntoiis on. the subject of the late Missionary Smith. Not any of' the speeches dlelivered on the oceasion, however, n-e inserted in the colonial papers. " The inflammatory nature of Mr. Brougham's speech," says the Royal Gazette," has indullced us to decline giving it." MIIch) impatience was manifested among the colonists for the arrival of the conclusioii of the debate.-The Rev. W. S. Austin and hisladty arrived at Liverpool. on 'l'humrday last, in the AS'eaforth, from Demerara. It appears fromn the New Yurk papcrs received yester4ay, that General Lafayette arrived in good healtli at NewT.v York on the 15th of August, after a voyage of 31 days fromn Havre. These papers mention also the arrival of the three young Englishmeni, Hon. E. G. Stanley, Mr. J. S. WNortlhy, jun., andI M-fr. J. E. Denison, Mlenrbers of Par- liameent, at Albany, in the state of New York. They ar- rived on the 2d of August. In yesterday's papler wvas asomewvhat ludlicrous statement, orec:siot'.cd by'a typographical transposition of' two words. King'>; Culle, which hias bcen stationed at Cambridge frorn the momnent of its first erectiln, aPpears, in the pata- graph allutetl to,. to have been suddenly gifted v with the power of loco-motion ascribed to the chapel of"' OOur Lait of Loretto," and to have founil its way to Piedlmont. W.?e hasten to correct a statemrent which imnputes to a sober Piotestant building so vagabondl and Popish a disposition. The paragraph, which wvas yesterday printed as fillows,- t Capel Lofti, son of' tie lawvyer whose death was recently men. tianed as havingr taken place at Riveli, has jlst been elected to King,'z (lollege, in Piedlm -nt, front Eton Schiool." Should runi thus Capel Lofft. son of the lawvecr whose deiath ewas reccrtly mict- tioned as having takci place at Rivolit in Piedmonit, has just been elected to King's College, frotm Eton SIchool. 'l;e Gazette of last night does not containi a single ito- tice of bankruptcy. NWe believe that this is llot an uncommrion oc- currenee tnt this season et' the Year, owing to the almost universal absence of attorneys, and officers of the Court of Chancery. 'h'be fbllowing is an extract of a letter from the Asent to Lloyd's at Gibraltar, dated L6th of August:-` Thc foliowing nio. tice hts becnt posted in the Captaib of the Port's office:-Captains of ships are cautioned not to approach Tarlfif ott their passage through the Straits, as, by so dloing, they will be liable to be detained by the blockadling ,quadron." lItOrOSAL TO MAKC AIRS. COUTTS A FitEi:-_u,X or Eis'i\'anv e.-The Scotsman of Saturtlav containsthetollowinr paragraph, wvhich refers to AMrs. Coutts, who is in Edinburgh:-" It has been indutstriousl v umoLireit that the ireedom of our ctir-v i about to be conferred oin a certaini lady of great wealth-and witanrd worth to,,, for ought we kiiow-ntw sojourniug amongst us. From the insuperable objections to such a procceding, we take Lpon us, -.essido uutl,hrity, to contra4ict the report. We are moe oallyccrtadin our present rulers are incapable of so.prostitutiiig civic honours. That certain persons, to serve their own endtis, have been fishing for liberty to propose the acceptance of the compliment to the latly in question, may be truie, but their machinations must beil." 'i'l-e Weexford Ierald says-" On Fridav last an ordler from (Government was received at the county-gaol. for the transmnis- sion of dhe Rev. John Carroll to the Richmond Luntttic Asyltnt. near Dublin, and on Saturday morning he accorlingly proceeded thither, itt charge of thegaoler. A most respectablelaelv, wto lhad taken a 8eat in-thie Day-coach Lhat niorning, objected in the strotigest tertins to sitting in thc company of the rev. gentleman; on whvlich al r. Car- roll politely apologized tor the uneasiness lie had oecasione(t to tier, andi expressed his willingness to travel outside. lie and liis keeper then took titeir seats on the top," A SAGACIOUS IittAVELt.P.a.-Don Augtustin Quinto, tlhe author of. Prarsceal (oo rseof A4ricilt tire, much esteemed in Spaitl, publishetd in 1819, relates in that book the following anecdote :_ " In my last journey in France, I happenedl to spend a few daysi at a country 'house in Dauiphine. I was lookhtig one morning at a voting girl who was churning but:er. She asked me for a piece of silver coin to out in the Chartir, that the batter might comie quicker, which was slower in forming than usual: I gave tsar a dollar, she put it in the churn, and after a few ire turns the batter was formied. I cannot account howor ini what mannerthe inetal could havc prod uced that effect but certtiiriit is that the thing happenedl in mny presence, and the girl assured tce that she always employed thc samein mean, in similar cases." HEAT OF THlE WVEAT'rsR.-WeVhave had numerous in- stances in Ettyland of mail-coach homes (Ironping dead fiom heat, btit the Irish coaches are deternined to outdo us. The L.itnerek Chronicle ot Saturlay says-" The Dublin mail-coach (id not ar- rive here this morning until near 12 o'clock, being one hour late, ovwing to tbe front wheels having taketi fire between 11aryborough andl Monastereuen." A Coittious CAUTION.--" A Cautioni to the Public.- We caution the itihabitants of this town how they expos_tthem. selves to any sort of contact with persons labouring under contagi(ous ciitinenpers-such asfevers, plagues, orconsuttptions-antd thatathey carefully atvoid taking colds, rhematistim, catarrbs, goutN, hes. aches, belly.schles, and back-aehes, as well as all suits of acute or chro)nic diseasse,, which mnay require the attendance of a physician; therc being now no less thart twelve doctors, surgeons, men.rmii. wives, and apothecarics, practi8inig in the small town ot Carlow !"- An~oblfeeVuke, who wvas much addicted to the bottle, on a niasqueratie night asked Foote, with whoist he was iltimate, what new character he should go in. " Go sober," said Foote. The Franciscani Friars have taken 'a plot of ground in lenry-street, in this cdty, otwhich they intend inmediately erecting a chapel of that order. There will then be, in one parish alone in this city, five Roman tCatholic places of worship, and in the same districtThere is not aparish church of the Estabhlshment.-Liiwrkic Joorntel. A farmer of the namne ot' Brick was muirdered at a place called Baltavin,.county Kerry, on iMlunday, by two of hie neigh- bours, named Gt-iff2 and Mtlahoocy. It arose otit of is dispute about afew hens telonghtiglo the latter that had conmmitted some trespass in a corn-field.Limerick ('Uiranicle. On Monday eveniing, about seven o'clock, a desperate set of ruf'ians nearly opposite Saunders's Tlieatre, at Bartholomew Fair, attacked anrd robbed a vast number of persons, in it manner almost as atrocious as at the memorable West End Fair. The men were deprived of their hats, watches, and other property, by the gang, whos to facilitate their operations, caused a {ight, and then their work olf plunder commenced. Several -females were seizedl by the thieves, and their bands and buckles fxom their waists, brooches, and every thing that camne in their wayi were forcibly taken fromn them. A young man, namnedl Prendergast, sceeng the females used so cruelly, endeaveured to assist them, bpt he was immediately brought to the ground by a blow- on the head with a bludgeon,, and was left in a senseless state liis hat and watcih were instAistly car- sle(I off by the gang. Notwithstanditig the host of men that are em- ployed in the city police, the whole of this daring gang escaped with inapunity4 . sulcinE-1Mr. Thnom-as 1rindley, a confectioner, resid- ing m liackney, and verv generally respected, on Sunday evening, ibout five o'clock, *hatnged himnself in lis own stable. Hge was dis4 ;oveted after he had been hanging about an hour, when every at. tempt which surgical skill ebuld suggest was madc to recover hibn but without success. Mr. Brixdley was about fifty years of age; he lias left behind him a widow and a young family. For several months Drevious to his comlitting the melancholy act he manifested symptomgs of a disordered miuted. On Saturday he was p iticularly wild in his language and nianner. On Sunday he went up stairs, requesting he Might not be disturbed, as he wished to sleep. He came down afterwards without liis shoes, and was found as we have stated. New QUEST-ION Osr RIG.HT.-ln the Police Court upoti Thursday, a raw youth charged his own Wife, whom lie latl rar. ric( about ten ontoiths ago, witb stealing his clotites, to prevCet him. as nhie alleged from runniog away from her.

The wife, whose-organ of c&inbativeness made up her entire face, defended tier conduct, and aid thAt she had off'eredto restore him lisa wsrdrEbbe if he would return home andl makc proper ron. cessions; to whicha he replied th?t he was tle head of liaown house. and it wns her duty to yield to hint. Htaving delivered himself' of' those indispitable axioms, helooked astonoftil3d at his own courage; and his wife's powers of speech were aralysed for the moment.
