Letters received yesterday from Malta to the 29th ultimo mention, that accounts had reached there from Alexandria of an insurrection having broken out in the Upper Provinces of Egypt, in which it was at first feared some English travellers had just their lives; but thi, latter apprehension has fortunately proved unfounded. The rebellion had been produced by the exertions of a Sheik, who pretended to prophesy, and had gained many followers. The Pacha had in consequence delayed his departure for the Moi ea. By the latest accounti from Cairo, it is stated that the plague was raging di eadfully, and it was calculated that 350 persons died daily.  A singular circumstance happened in Passage-street, Hull, on Thursday last. A poor little sweep had gone up a chimney, when, this being his first adventure, be stuck fast in a pot on the top. In his struggle for life as well as liaerty, the pot came r,ff, and both fell together on the roof of the house; the little fellow, emancipated Borth his prison by its being smashed to pieces, rolled off the roof, from a height of two stolies, into the street. He was terribly bruised, but no bones were broken, and he is fast recovering. A man of the name of Charles Callaghan, residing at Mountshannon, was returning from the fair of Tomgreatly, on Saturday week; when passing through the village of Scariff, county of Clare, a number of people were assembled in the streets, and the man being somewhat inebriated, said that he was an Orangeman.. Im' mediately a ruffian from the crowd rushed forward, rand struck him with a two-handed club twice over the ear, which fractuted his skull, and the poor man instantly expired. An Inquest was taken on the body by Thomas Sampson, Esq. which was adjourned three times, to produce et idence, and afford every facility to the fullest investigation. After examining a number of witnessess, the Jury agreed to the following vet dict " That the deceased came by his death in consequence of two blows of a two-handed club, which he received on the head and broke his skull ; and that Jas. Morony, of Clonesker, is the man suspected of the murder." The Second Number of that new creation in Literature, the MONTHLY CRITICAL GAZ:77TE, was published to the Trade last night, and to the Public Clia morning. The demand has been 131316NSII; UtIJ though the p. ice has unavoidably been raised to 2s. and the jealous f&lings of sem:! rival Proprietors have crossed its path, jut its general reception is more than problematical. This Number coni.tins critical analyses of the eighty-eight English Publications which appeared in May, and of ten Foreign Walks ; and every succeeding Number will combine similar novelty, •ariety, and utility.
