A letter from Pernambuco of the 20th ult. states, that information had been received there from Bahia, of the assassination, of the military Governor of that place. The next arrivals were expected with considerable anxiety, as the accounts came away too soon after the event to allow it to be ascertained wvhether the crime was perpetrated from political mrtives, or originated in private revenge. The tranquillity of Bahia, up to the4th of November, was as- certaned not to have been interrupted. A letter from Genoa, fronm Messrs. Gaetano, Drago, and W2alsh, the agents to Llyd's, dated December 11, states -that the'Consul-General of Hiis Majesty the King of the Lovir<Countries in Genoa hits published notice of haviig received a Coapsular letter from' Marseilles, dated the 2d instanit,' hich'tesrtit hat letters from Algiars and Maahon atkf,e-tNat tlie.ai rences sutbslsting' between the Regency of Algkers jtid,His Majesty ehe IKing of the Low Countries have bee.n happily done ayJay; andl that peace was concluded on the 12th {lay of Noveinber last, upon the same footing as that of the year 1816.

It is rumnoured that soTme difference exists among the law fiietbra of the Crown, respecting the late arrest of the great Po. pish advocate; and there are some who affirm that the prosecatton will be totally abandoned on account of a want of evidence!

Beddoes, of Loudgeville, passed through Chester, in a chaise and fourz en their way to the hymeneal blacksmith, atjUretna- green. They changed horses at the Royal Hotel,. and proceeded with great rapidity On their 1oursrey. They had been rivetted only two or three hours, when the la y a friends, hot in pursuit, arrived, but the " deed was don3e." Some idea may. be formed of the great destructiona of sugar by the late shocking inundations in Russia, from the fact of brown lumps having ip consequenace advanced 4s. per hogshead,.and West tndia, or unrefined. sugar, from Is. to 2s. Euc'. has been the extreme activity of the markets, that the doors of the counting. rouse8 of impo2ters have actually been besieged by the clerks of the -wholesale grocer as. early as six 'clock in tbe morning, fer the pur- pose of seizing whatever lots were, for sale, to the exclusion of those who were less on tihe alert Thio fact confirms the old adage-that "it is an iL wind which blowo nobody good." In the year 17Ifl, Mr. John Steward (grandfatlter to,a most worthy and highly-respectable gentleman new living) was chosen into the office of parish clerk of a church in the deanery of Readenhall, and which he held till his death, in 1762 when the pre- sent parisl clerk succeeded him who has ever since ?lled theof&ice, and trat of sexton with it, and is at this time able to do all the duty; he can read the service, ring the bell, and dig the graves, and appears to be likeTy to to do for some years longer, although now at the age of 113.-.asex Aerald. Early yesterday morning, the house of Dr. Mitchell, of Gate-street, [incoln's-inn..fiel s, was broken into, and robbed of several articles of plate, &c. The thieves had leaped over the railings, and forced an entry thro6ib the area-door. Fortunately, some of the servarts going down stairs startled them, when they made a preci. pitate retreatby the hall-door, whiels they had previously unchained and left op en, without being able to collect and carry off the re. mainder of their booty. TrE LATE RouBaRY OP TEIE FALKI4IK MAIL COACH.- MVurray, the person chiefly suspecteA of being a party to this daring crime, had been residing for some months past in this city, where he impesed hierseif upon ueople wkth considerable address as an Eng. lish gentleman and a Cimmisaioner of Customs. It. has been al- ready stated, that, on the day of the robbery, he hired from MSr. Smitb, in Rotc-street, the hoses and gig which were found on the evening of that day in a ditch at the side of the road, between Kirk. lisfon and Qilcensfer?.. He it was, also, who called on Mr. Smith that eveningr, andpaid himn for the horse and gig in ten pound notes af the Bank ef Scotland.. It 1ish been ascertained that 31ltray spenit the evening along with others Ia- a noted brothel at tho foot of North St. David-street, kept by a man who has been taken into custody: and through him t,he police camne to learn that Murray did not leave Edinburgh till eleven o'clock on Sunday morning, when he set oft in a postehaise for l,on. don by the eastern road. Sergeant Lewis Stewart of' the police, accompanied by a clerk of one of the banks, was immediately ies- patched in that direction after him; while messengers and officers were sent oaf in pursuit In almost every other direction. Yesterday a letter wan received at the police establilahment from Stewart, inti. mnating that a persorn answering Murray's description had beeni over- taken and appr.hended at Thlrsk,ijR Yorkshire, where, being in an infirm state ot health, he had stopped to take some repose ; and that fob01 in Sautchl notes were found upon him. It &i expected that he will be brought to town in the coarse of the day. The guard of the eoach i8~ in confinement. There is reason to suppose (observes the Stir/ieg Joatr;w) that one of the accomplices proceeded all the way with the coach from Stirling; and it is a singuilar circumstance, that before the coach started, a person who wras giving in a parcel to the gua2rdt desired hlim to hasve a good look-out, as the person was .apprehensive the guard hads 3 very suspicious traveller with him.. RoRBERY..-O) the night of Saturday, or Sutmlav last, the shop of AIT.

The robbery was not discovered till Monday morn. ing, when MIr. MIerrett, on opening the shop, the lock of which the villains had refastened, immediately saw that depredations had 'been committed, and soon ascertaited the extent of his loss. PNo trace of the thieves has yet been discovered.-Chelte tana Jounal. The family of a respectable inhabitant in this town had recently a very narrow escape front poicening. About a fortnight ago the nursery-maid mixed up, in the food of an infant rather anore than a year old, some powder which she found at the bottom of a jar, andl supposed to be sugar. A boy, 19 years of age, nieplhew to the gentleman, was present, and at his request she pat a quantity iih some milk, of wvhich she, the boy, and the infant partook. Soon af- ter they were all attacked with most violent sickness, and it was found necessary to obtain medical assistance. It was then ascertained that the powder was a mixture of sugar and, arsenlei but for what, purpose it liad been intended, or by whom it was placed in the cap- board where it wat fbund by the girl (who had only been a few days In tire family), remains rlutie a mytstery. Tire young woman and the boy were pronounced out of danger tihe following day; bet the infan1t renmilne4 in a very precarious state until the present week, and 1nd6edli 1ot yet pertcetly recovered.-ur'll Advertiser. ft IB satld, tlat a piece of lime, the. size of a walput, put Into the water III whicl potatoes are boiling will l3e found to bave the affect of rendcrlog glje ohmbviclight and frina opt,
