STIRLING. Esq. Coroner, on the body of Morris Fitzgerald, who met his death by being stabbed in the body with a knife on Monday evening. It appeared from the witnesses, who very reluctantly tendered their evidence, and who consisted principally of the persons re•ident in the Court, viz. Bridget Ity, ley, Patrick Ayley, John Callaghan, Samuel Cab r, and several others, whose testimony did not bear materially on the fact, that on the above evening, the ,deceased had interfered between a man named Caen and his wife, when the latter stabbed him with a knife in the left breast, dividing the principal artery from the heart, which caused so great an internal hemorrhage as to cause his almost immediate dissolution. They had been h:ard to quarrel for some time, when Cahir, the watchman, attempted to get into the house, for the purpose of patting them, but was unable to effect his purpose, and on his return in about ten minutei, he found the unfortunate nun dead.  Wain% right, the officer, produced the doilies of Caen, his wife, and daughter, and several knives, one of which was considereu the weapon with which the wood* had been ii.flicted. This, with a quantity of cowheel, off which the party was supposed to have supped, was thrown into the fi.e. the former alone being p►eserved with a very small particle of bone. The stones in the alley had also been washed, and several removed, in consequence of having mwks of blood on them. The general feeling was much against the daughter of Caen, who seemed co give her evidence with great Caution. After some discussion, the Jury returned a verdict against Mrs. Caen and her daughter, for Wilful Murder. COIONER accordingly issued his warrant for detaining them at Hattun•gaaden Office.  cnonterfeit sovereigns have appeared in alatming numbers, at Sheffield.

RIOT' IN SUNDERLAND.  SUNDERLAND, AUGUST S.  This town has been for some dole in a state of great alarm, in consequence of the differences between the ship-owners and the sailors of the port. On the ietori of vessels to this port, after the discharge of their-coal cargo, they are generally laden with ballast, which it is an object with the ship-owner to get tid of before the vessel comes into harbour. The sailors thought they ought to be paid an extra compensation for didcharr ing the ballast at sea; but the ship-owners resisting the demand. the seamen of certain clubs combined not to work any ship till it should be . granted.— The ship-owners, driven by this extremity. to employ other hands, procured seamen from other ports. The seamen of Sunderland, mortified at what they  conceived an intrusion, resorted to every means to prevent these men trom carrying the ships out to sea; and when some vessels, with the strangers,- were on. their way out last Wednesday, the seamen Manned their boats, and attempted to board theM with vialeace, and take possession of the 'ships. The civil power being insufficient to protect the crews, the small military force stationed here, about 2O men, were called in ; but tbs.  violence and fury of the sailors still increasing, they were obliged to fire, when three sailors were shot dead, , and several severely wounded, one of whom died- yesterday. It being appoPended that egg* renew 41 eir attack, :it was thought nee to hape additional military tome, and accordingly the Tyne Yeomanry were sent for yesterday, who paraded the streets at intervals, in order to keep in awe the moldtildes thai were assembled in different parts of thetown. This morning, on the Inquest being appointed,. the whole town appeared as if it were about to be besieged. The streets were crowded with women and sears's, the former of whom exhibiting all the fury of thepeistarda, exclaimed, as the Jury were passing, after viewing the bodies, gl Trey have been murdered, and that must be hour verdict." The Exchange, where the' Inquest was eld, was beset during the day with crowds of sailors, women, and children, arwaittag- the verdict with the utmost anxiety ; but the result, though disappointing their expectations, was productive of no violence. The quays were lined with-an unusual throng of sailors, aid the inhabitants were still apprehensive of danger from the irritation which the verdict may excite. The following proclamation was published on Thursday : Port of Sunderiand.—Whereas arlot of the most serious nature was yesterday caused .by the :Disclaiming and unlawful conduct of many misguided marsh and others of this pert, and there being every reason to believe that a recurrence of the same will take place this evening, the Magistrates, being determined to preserve the public peace, hereby order all the ieltabitants of the town to leap to their houses during this overdo& at tide time, except such as have already, or may this afternoon come forward to be sworn as special constables.

BOW-ST ItEET.  Manner..—Af to Greenland was hreught before Mr. HALLS, the sitting Magistrate, charged with the wilful murder of John How& ban, one of the seamen of his Majesty's ship Ramillies, new employed in the Preventive Service. The case was this : Sunday week last, information was received by Lieutenant Cole, of the sante service, who was posted on the Little &one station, on the coast of Kent, that certain persons intended to make a run. Accordingly, about nine o'clock in the evening, he and four men went in a beat towards the place where they expected to discover the persons concerned in this illicit traffic. Tiny had gone about two hundred yards from the shore,when they perceived a large boat, apparently anchored, in which were live men. They approached them, and having hailed them, were answered by the prisoner, who performed the office of cockswain, " The Venus, of Folkestone, Henry Butcher." The cable of the Preventive vessel was then passed within that of the Venus, and the deceased flew& han put on board ti, take possession of her. An alarm being then heard from the shore, they put in, leaving the deceased on board *sr smugglers' vesseL The sante night, about -twelve o'clock, the body of the unfortunate Ilowlihan was found lying on the beach, by a man named Mahony, who was posted there as a sentinel. It was carried to the next sentry, and afterwards deposited in the boathouse of Lieut. Cole. The next day, Monday, a Gentleman named Myth, Assistant Surgeon of the Ramillies, was sent for to examine the body. He found a number of small wound. on the lett temple of the body, about the size of the bite of leeches, and which ape peared to have been given by the pan of a pistol; another but 'arra/ math of the same description was observed on the right temple. Those Mr. Blyth was not of opinion could cause his death, but he thought they might have stunned hint. kits appearance, and the exudations from the nostrils, evidently 'hewed hint to have been drowned. On the Thursday following, Thomas Walton, one of the men on board the Preventive vessel, ss as walking along the pier at Folkestone, in company with another person, when he saw the pi i,tn.er. They told him he was their prisoner, but be refused to go with them. At length, however, they managed to take him into custody. This was the whole of the evidence offered on the part of the prosecution. Mr. Joss, the Solicitor for the Admiralty, who appeared in support of the prosecution, begged leave to subtuit, that un this evidence the Magistrate was authorized to commit. Mr. Rem:duce submitted, there was not sufficient evidence to support the accusation. _ _  Mr. Joruts—There is evidence of his being on board this boat when a man is placed there to take possession of it. Afterwards that buat goes away, and the dead body of die deceased is found on the shore in about three hours from the time he was last seen by his crew.  Mr.

VTINUPLE.  The following singular story respecting a gang of marJerees and robbers, in Constantinople, is taken from the 1 toile of Tue.day last : ei We have the lo.lowin,. accounts from our Correspondert at Constantinople, of a horrible event, unknown in the annals of its history, which has taken place in that capital. " At the hour of midnight, two men belonging to the guard were going by the side of the houses which borJer the little cemetery. Suddenly y perceived a poster beating a large chest on Ws- shoulders, who, on being questioned, answers that he is carrying to the port the effects of a traveller who is on the eve of his departure. In consequ,nce of the suspicions which they reasonably conceived, the guards conduct the porter back to the house from which he had come; and as he refuses to open the chest, on the pretext that he has not got the key, one of the Turks remains, and t'ie "ther runs tl intorm the Bach-Aga (commander of the guard) of what has pas-ed. The latter immediately repairs to the spot with his attendants. They force open the chest. What a horrible sight ! They see two dead bodies ctit in pieces, one that of a Jew, the other of a Frank. They were struck as with a ray of light. Tlry recollect that several individuals have disappeared in Pere and Galata, whose relations and friends could sot by any means account for their disappearance. " The Bach-Aga causes this house, and four others, belonging to Turks, which, together with the first, `formed as it were an island, to be surrounded. After a strict search, they were convinced that these five houses ;had internal communications. They proceeded to dig, and found a well, which contained several dead bodies. The men and women which inhabited this horrible den were arrested, arid the crime has been discovered in its whole extent. The object of their association was to draw into the snare any one who had fine stuffs to sell, or another whom they invited to come and exchange to.advantage his money for that lately issued. " Two of three women were particularly employed to call in those who passed, and who, when they were once drawn into the snare, were stripped and murdered by the men. Such a tissue of iniquities and horrors could not long escape the watchful eye of justice. It had seized on all the guilty, who have been condemned to death, and executed without distinction of sex. The Sultan then commanded • that the doors and windows of the five Turkish houses should be walled up, and should thus remain with the stamp of reprobation, and as a lasting monument of a crime without parallel, and ,frightful by its infamy. " Tice Gabrielle, bombard, Captain Allegre, which was bringing the animals sent by the Bey of Tunis to  •=4r".;.'7l'^r"  •  his Majesty, has perished on the tbast of t;al•Aout, at the entrance of the Golf of Tanis. The whole cry* Tas saved, as well as the greater part of the animals, whey bad no news of the Cybele frigate, which sailed in company with this bombard, which it convoyed. it was hoped, however, that it had survived the tempest which arose the second day after its departure, and continued two days:'

CAN TREATMENT OF SLAVES•  NOVEMBER 13, 1815. , ($ You will no doubt have heard of the departure 'from. England of Lord Selkirk, to visit his colony in this part of the world, and we were not more surprised at his arrival here this week, than he must have been on his first setting his foot on the shores of America, to hear of the disappointment of all his hopes and expectations, by the empire dispersion of his colonists, and the destruction of all the establishments they had formed on the Red *River. This result to his wild and visionary undertaking had long been predicted by every one Vl° bad any knowledge of the character of the na• tives, the jealousy of rival traders, and mere particularly of the situation and climate of the remote and inhospitable region he undertook to colonize. We have of :en heard of his Lordship's scheme, but till the arrival of the north-west canoes this season with the Governor and Sheriff of the new colony in custody of the civil power uoen a chute of grand larceny, we had no accurate knowledge of the circumstances under white the present undertaking originated, and it does • *appear strange that the Government at home should not have interfered to prevent the emigration at first, when they might easily have ascertained the sad fate the poor deluded people must have been subjected to. Tire whole scheme is now the topic of general conversation here, and it appears his Lordship, on some occasions, sees his interest with as keen eyes as his neighbours. In looking to various objects connected with smerica, his attention, it is said, was drawn by a Canadian Knight to the affairs of the Hudson's Bay Company, and finding these in a decayed state, no dividends having been made for several years, and the value of stocks: dined from 250 to 50, or 60 per cent. they thought some benefit might accrue from speculation in this stock, the whole amount of which is under 4100,000, and continued their purchases till they had acquired a very considerable sum. So far the partners went on quietly together, till finding their views and interests disagree, his Lordship aiming at a much greater speculation than the Knight, actually prosecuted his purchases until he had acquired such a prepondsrating amount as placed the nomination of Directors nearly in his own hands, when the speculatien which has now so completely failed, begin to develope itself. " The Charter of the Hudson's Bay Company is a most singular document, and had long escaped the nolice of those not directly interested in it, as the prise. leges and pewees it purp*ts to confer had never till his Lordsllip's interference in the affairs of the Company, been ninth resorted to, otherwise than to regulate and carry on a confined trade in peltries between Great Britain and the Establishments in the 114 y. The feesimple of all countries washed by waters emptying themselves into the Bay, the power of making war or peace, with the natives, and of est iblishing Courts for the trial and punishment of all offences, except murder, under the statute of Henry

TRACT OF • LETTER. FROM A YOUNG GENTLEMAN, AT CAPE IN•NCOIS, DATED OCTONEIL 30,  TO HIS FATHER, IN PHILADELPHIA. Left an exaggerated account of the late difturbance fhould reach you, I will minutely inform you of every circumflance. The chief ground of complaint appears to be an article in the conftitution, authoi i ling the importation of naves into the colony. Some ambitious and faaious men took advantage of this, to imprefs the negroes with a belief that the ancient regime was to be revived, and they were to be made naves. The principal fomenter of this infurreaion is one Flaville, Commandant at Limbe, (about 18 miles from the Cape), and what is lingular, the chief caufe of the former revolution in this colony, and the man that firft made Touilaint a General, being the oldeft General in the ifland. He conceived himfelf inured in not being promoted to a more exalted Ration. The objea was, the extirpation of the whites, and nothing fhort of a miracle has preferved us. Some unguarded expreffions excited fufpicion, and a Captain of the National Guards, called Trois Bal, was taken. General Criftoff (Touffaint and Moyfe being out of town) ordered his head to be immediately taken off. The fellow's courage failed him, and he difclofed the molt horrible plot ever known. He was to cornmand in town, and Flaville in the country. On the night of the a4th, fome difturbance was to be', made,, when, as ufual on fuch occafions, the generaft was to be beaten. This was the fignal upon which they were to murder every white man and mulatto, women and children not excepted. In the mean time, Flaville was to aft the fame fcene in the country, and to march into town in the morning, his friends having previoully got Oaf: lion of the forts.  4, Upon this information of Trois Bal, 40 officers were apprehended,' and the capital of Domingd and its white inhabitants faved from defiruetion. A large army wps marched, under the command of General Sutcliff, from this place, to meet the brigands. The 'villains had already commenced their bloody worts. Scarcely a white or mulatto man, woman, or child, efcaped the horrid carnage. •The number matacted is fuppoled to be 4 or 500. A blind man of 90, a friend of Moyle, was in the number. The General (wore vengeance. He joined the army; and ordered no quarter to be given, but to (hoot every man as taken. His orders have been obeyed, and few have efcaped. Flaville was taken by aratagem, and is now in gaol Imre- Every day numbers bleed. The flighteft fufpicion, and you lac your head. A man laft night cried " Fire !" He was brought to Criftoff. The General drew his fahre, cut off his head, and threw it into the Area. Government mull now thew its ftrength, ir all is loft. Moyfe and Criftoff are now' in town, and the Governor daily cape/led. The ifland is at prefent tranquil. A few trbops only remain to purfue the fugitives. Among the killed is General Toutraint's old matter. Another letter fays, Sixty or feventy whites have been maffacred upon the plantations; and another letter to the Mayor of Baltimore fays, order has been reamed at the Cape."

Banker.  ----Lord IVIIDDLatou has relinquished the Wtrs►ick. shire Hunt, on account of ill health, and taken a final Leave of his brother sportsmen.  The late Sir CHARLES SUNBURY was at one period of his life the most fortunate speculator on the Turf; particularly at Newmarket, and at his death pos. sessed the first bred stud in the kingdom. Sit CHARLES was perpetual Steward of Newmarket, and also of the Brightbn Races, and his opinion was always decisive, in *regard to any case that was referred to the Jockey Club. As a sportsman, Sir CHARLES was perfectly acquainted with the areatunn of the training-stable and stud-farm. He is said to have lost many great races from pertinaciously persisting in making his own training-boys ride for hint, instead of employing professed jockies of eminence. Pre,ti ous to a Stake, or Match, it was no uncommon to see Sir CHARLES followed by half a score lads to the starting-pest, and suddenly desiring one to suit) and weigh, who he assisted to saddle and mount, and never lost sight of him until he started. He had named a brother to Smolensko in the Derby, and a filly, by Sorcerer, out of Tawny, in that and the Oak,; and also the latter, and a colt by Haphazard, out of Eleanor, in the Newmarket Stakes, all of which will become void by•his decme.  Lady BOYNTJN met with a serious accident last week, whilst taking an airing in her one horse inriage, accompanied by Miss Swax, near Bridlinstor,, in Yorkshire : a large i'.'g seized the hors, by its now, which caused him to plunge and overturn the chaise, by which her Ladyship's shoulder was dislocated._ Miss Swazi- had one of her feet much hurt in jumping out of the carriage.  Thi; teen 'sheep were found dead on- Tuesday se'n. night, _at Stanton-Drew, Somersetshire, which had been killed in the night by lightning. Philip Brenuan, the soldier who received sentence of death for robbing at Brighton, has had his sentence commuted to tvansportation.  At Stafford Assizes, 23 prisoners received sentence of death, five of whom were left for execution, viz. J; Buckingham, J. Ginn:taw, Amos Drew, R. Mtn*ney, avid (J. Hodgetts. Durir.g the trial of one of these (G. Hodgetts), . for. robbery in the house of Mr. S. Newbold, at Hands.warth, the prosecutor's premises were again broken into, and str►pped of everything portable.  Barnicoat and • Thompson, convicted at the Devon. shire Aisizes for shooting at William Jose and his wife, and the murder of William Hancock, were executed on Monday. sennight.
