These three persons are already in prison fur a libel on the late amiable wife of Sir John Wrottesley, merely be cause they refused to give up the author of the vile, the unfounded lie, the base calumniation of the mausoleum's occupant—we know the reptile—and though a Secretary in a high official deortment, we can assure him, that it' the tools °fills infamy and ma lignity should at last see and take the only path which can reconduct them to the esteem of honest men, by denouncing this heretofbre hidden Devil, not all the powers his influence could command would shield him from the punishment he so justly deserves—while, however, he remains still in con cealment we have no doubt he will enjoy the fiend like conviction that he contributed to the efforts of those of whom her Nlajestv exclaimed—" And now at last they have destroyed me. Saumur, which the French papers state to have been the seat of a conspiracy against the Govern- I meat, was lately exposed to destruction by tire. The Journal of the Maine and Loire says,—" A confla gration, on the cause of which opinions are not decided, has spread consternation through the town of Sauratir. It broke out on the evening or the 18th uit. in the upper story of the residence of M. Petard, an eminent merchant. Alarm soon became general, as it spread rapidly, and assumed a most appalling aspect. The civil and military authorities, the officers and students of the Military Colleges, and inhabitants ot % all classes, were active in their efforts to stop the progress of the devouring clement, in which they did not succeed until midnight. Five persons perished, and tour were g rievnusly, and, it is toured, mortally wounded on this calamitous occa- Sion." The reports of a revolution and massacres at Con stantinople appear to have prevailed to an extraor dinary extent on the Continent. The German netvsmongers, who have a predeliction for the won derful, the horrible, and the mysterious, have been particularly active in circulating dreadful rumours on this subject. The liashburgh Correspeuket, in a letter from Vienna, dated Dee. 16. tells the following story :—" Constantinople is no more! A conflagra tiun tar more terrible, of longer duration, and more destructive, than the great fire of Moscow, has re duced this capital to ashes. The magnificent church of St. Sophia, the Sultan's Seragiio, with all its beaulies, even the arsenal has become the prey of the flames. The Grand Seignior and his son Alxhil Nlirzad have been murdered, us have also the Al the Reis .Etfentli, the Capudan Pushaw, and many other great officers of the Empire. All these atro cities and devastations are the work of the Janissa ries, who have taken to themselves a remote quarter of the city which was saved from the flames. One of the most determined of the leaders an Orta of the Janissaries, is made Sultan. The foreign Am bassadors had the good fortune to escape in ►one to Bujukdere and Scutari. All the Greeks and Franks were murdered : and thousands of men, who are robbed of their property, roam about the neighbour ing country. These horrors were accompanied by an earthquake in the environs of Constantinople, which swallowed up towns and villages." Mr. Bustard and Mr. Fuller have sunk their rents nearly one half, not contenting themselves with a remission of '2O or 25 per cent., and leaving the remit the same.

Shackle, Arrowsmith, and Weaver, (the 'winters and proprietors of the Ma Bull) had a mu row escnpe on Wednesday last, under an indict ment for libel on the character of the Countess of Jersey.—lt appears that they had sworn, in the affi davit at the stamp-office, that the paper was pub lished in Dyer's-court, whereas the fact was, that it was published in Johnson's-court, Fleet-street—it is usually an axiom that a man shall not plead his guilt in one way to save himself from another crime, but somehow or other this laudable rule was here overlooked, and the Jury declared by their verdict, that the defendants were " Not Guilty"—thus they had an opportunity fin- temporary triumph—as the man who is acquitted of the worst crimes to which human nature is incident, may exult that his prose cutor has mistaken the parish in which the offence WiLS committed, by which the delinquent escapes the well-merited gallows—but they were not so fortu nate on Friday last, when their trial came on for libels on her late lamented Majesty—the indictment set out only five out of five hundred, for which they might have been prosecuted, and the Jury instantly found a verdict of " Guilty" against all three of the defendants. Of the censurable and unjustifiable nature of these libels it is impossible to speak ton strougly, and we devoutly believe, that to the - 7 7 gka THE Are. MR. MATTNIAL—The death of this gentleman took place last week, at his res'Osence Mary-le-bone. He was of the Homan Catholic per suasion, meek, benevolent, end most liberally tole rant to all whose religion differed from his owu.— He had been elected Canon of St. Denis. and had been frequently solicited to accept a French Bishop ric, which he declined from motives of humiliiy and love to this country. A month previous to his la mented death, we are assured that he received a letter informing him that his name was drawn for the first vacant See in France. He was respected and beloved by all the Bourbon family, and by a numerous circle of friends of the highest rank in this country. To the pour he was a Willful past .r, a protecting father, a liberal benefactor. lit the circle of his own he solemnly and affectionately ful filled those sacred duties enjoined by God himself, administering to their necessities while living, and bequea►hing to them at his death the bulk of his property. Thus, his death-bed, as might be ex pected from his conduct and character, exhibited a scene of genuine piety and peace, edifying to around him. It will be remembered that this gen. tleman was attacked with a sword b , an ins❑ne person in the Spanish Chapel, while officiating at the altar, a few years ago Ilis manners were meek, elegant, anti unaffected. Somwrtimica.—On the evening of the 28th Ike. during a most violent gale from the south-east. .1 brig was observed on shore on the rocks, within immix or five hundred yards of Sandy Cove, near Bullock, Dublin; the sea running mountains high, with a.l the horrors that accompany a dark tempestuoirt night. Lieutenant William Hutchinson, the har bour-muster of Dunleary, volunteered, with lim gallant fishermen and pilots, and embarked in time life-boat, in hopes of saving the suffering crew fraai apparently certain destruction, who were expeeti:ig every moment that the vessel woidd go to pieces.— They succeeded after the greatest esertion, in reach ing the wreck, and when under the stern of the vesset, in the broken water, the life-boat filled, and every succeeding sea passed over her,the crew of the vessel were endeavouring to get into the boat, an overwhelming sea washed six men and Lieutenant Hutchinson out of the life:-boat; the remaining eight clung to the boat ; two of the six men caught hold of a rope at tile stern of the wreck, atil were hauled on board by the crew. Lieutenant Hutchinson, utter contending with the waves ti'r smite time, was most providentially saved by cate..- ing hold of the life-boat, which was driven with much risk on the rocks, and the remainder of le:r crew got on shore with many bruises; the other E,lir brave fellows untintunately perished ; two of theist left wives and young children to deeply lament tlicir loss. Notwithstanding the danger and fatigue Lieutenant Mitchinson went thr,ugh, he remained all night on the racks, to render, with lights, every assistance to the crew of the vessel, and tintunatmay succeeded in getting them from time wreck at Inav water, at four o'clock in the morning. The br%.; was culled the Ellen, of Liverpool, laden with a general cargo, William Bird, master. Another brig belonging to Mr Pim, would have been lost in same place, but for the exertions of Lieutenant El. by showing lights and tiring shots, to wain them of their danger, upon whieli they got out anchors. FUSE PAIMON.—IIis Majesty has been in st gra citeisly pleased to grunt a free pardon to John li-y -nolds, alias John Diel, who was tried at the N alliumberland Assizes, and convicted, subject the opinion of the Judgs on a point of law, fur ns liciously shooting into the Swallow revenue cut:ei, on the cubast, near Newbiggin. He has been .me cordingly discharged from prison. It will he re,.m:- lemaed that the point reserved was, as to the Sc:t. ow having hoisted the ',roper colours ; and that Diel'a leg was shattered in the action, sofa amputated whey they left him at Boomer. On Thursday morning the bridge at B:sh on, near Great Marlow, was washed away by the fVkl, and the road rendered impassable.
