By the arrival yesterday, of the regular packet ship Anwiy, captain Maxwell, the editors of the Com . mercial Advertiser, have received from their foreign correspondents, London papers to the 30th of July,1 and Liver|KKil to the 1st of August, inclusive. They have also received Myers* Liverpool Mercantile Ad vertiser and General Price Current, and a few shipping lists. We find uoihing of much interest in the papers. The London editors continue their ejaculations upon the affairs of the queeu ? and the people in the country also continue to ad dress her; The mayor of Rochester .refuses to call a common hall, b#f the citizens mot in Corn Markrt II all, and though the meeting was compos-1 ed of all parties, an address was voted unanimously. The queen has! dispatched Wassali, her equeny, to Italy, to fetch witnesses in her de-? fence. : ~ \ The^>reparations for the Corona tion proceed slowly, hut without in termission. From something that passed iu ?he house of lords just before the *4j0Drnrh*ut, it id supposed ministers %y\U turn their atjgption t6 some other tiiode of punishing criminals, in lieu of transportation ? the latter no long er being an object of terror or dread. Steam boats are established from Southampton to Cowes ? and froiti Bristol to Cork* . ; iTbe remains of the late bishop of Winchester have been interred in the cathedral of that city.? Among other Requests he has left jg30UHto the Door of ITranham. ? ? At (he Lancaster quarter sessions, two men were indicted for stealing Dine gallons of Wine ?

May the skin* he torn off the b? ? butchers, to serve lor reformers to beat to arms." Tl>e charge was fully proved, and 4ta jury found him guilty* r We have a few days proceedings of tlio Spanish cortes ; but no im* , portant business was transacted. ? "?The* liberty of the press, it would teem' bv the following, must be all Upon one side* A " 14 was proposed that the editor Of' the journal .entitled L a Ley, should be presecuted for sedition and Jplumny. On this occasion M. Mar tial Lopez moved, that whoever dared to speak with contempt of the. national representation, should be cited to the bar, and be obliged to give satisfaction for doing so." Trial fur Murder. ? The papers give a very interesting trial for mujr-' 3ef, which took, place at Maidstone, On the ?8tb July. It was that of James Nesbitt, indicted for the ag gravated murder of Mr. Parker, at Woolwich, in March last, an ao count of which was published in the American papers, lie was convict ed upon a train of strong circum stantial testimony. lie heard the gentence, that " he should be banged on, the Monday following, and his body deliveied to the surgeoivs for dissection/' without diAmay, and replied " my lord, though the laws of my country - have pronounced me goilty, 1 am innocent of the crime laid to my charge. The men who really did this murder, are now in this town." He would have pro (Oykd further, but the cciurt ordered him to be taken away. In retiring, be burst into tears. We have been politely favored, by Messrs. Jeremiah Thompson & Co. with the following letter dated. ? Liverpool, Jlvgvst 1. u Our cotton maikei is dull, am. prices barely maintained.

The Morning Chronicle has the j fallowing paragraph to day : ? Ac counts have been .received of a very unpleasant kind, of the issue of the expedition under Sir William Carr, to the Persian Gulf. Report says that the pirates, who in the first j place abandoned the fort, which some time ago the public were in formed had been quietly take*) pos session of by tlie troops under Sir William's command, returned and made a formidable attack on the fort, in which the 4>7tb and 04th rifrgi- , ments suffered severely. We have nofhean) all the particulars." " The last letters from Naples do not announce any event or remarka ble circumstance <o have occurred since the 8th hist. From tut 8th to the A Oth news was expected from Sicily, ivhere it was supposed the re cent Revolution would iiave found n.ore numerous partisans than in the kingdom of Naples. With respect to the provinces which were the first theatre <? the Revolution, if we may credit letters now brfore us, it is easy to perceive that reflection has succeed ed to factious and transitory enthusi asm. The .Neapolitan people re- ' member, with* mixture of regret, j that, agriculture and commerce flour ished under the? former fgpvernment, that the fiiiaftces of the sta4e were ad ministered with ectmamy, and that there existed a. well grounded hope of the diminution of the taxes ; it is flow doubtful whether the benefits which are promised bytjie recent revolution will indemnify the nation for the positive good which she en joyed. -These reflections, say our correspondent, suffice to Drove, that . the Neapolitan people took little part in the revolution." ; L-LL- L ? ?

Mr. Nicholas Hairston in riding over his plantation, in the County of llenry,. passed through a body of wood*, either enclosed within his limits, or adjoining his estate? Hav I dtof p^irof draw bars to pulldown, or a gate to open, he dismounted for the purpose, when he perceived at a, short distance from him a negro man, partly concealed by the shrubbery. ? Conceiving him to be a runaway he accosted liim with the questions of ^ what he was doing there and to whom he belonged?" To. this latter question the slave answered, by say ings he belonged to Mr. Nicholas; Hairston ; Mr* 'Hairston told him lie] lied, for that he was Nicholas Hajr stou-^-the negro rejoined, saying that he was a damn'dliar, /or lie did be-, .long to hinv . Upon this, Mr. Hair f.ston advanced; towards him, as well with the; purpose of chastising bis | insolence, as of Apprehending him as a runaway? -Ue was promptly met -by the .negro, who nothing daunted by .th^ firm carriage Df Mr. Hairston, closed in with him, and by dint of superior strength hurled him to the ground. Hiding so far triumphed, he proceeded to complete his vfctotry, by hutting Mr. Hairston in the breast; and choaking hinw-In the intervals of his fuiy, Mr. Hairston begged for mercY, promising eternally to Con ceal whathail happened, to resign his pui^b if that was his objeot in wishing to kill him, and even to [>or chase and emancipate him? Nothing however could soften the* breast of this sava$v He proceeded obvious ly with an intention of killing, to beat his prostrate foe in the most un merciful manner. According to the account we heard, , Mr, Hairston swooned under the severity of his suffering*, When he revived hefound that he had unknown to himself, in stictively taken his knife . from his pocket, which before he had forgot ten to do? He instantly aimed a blow at the negro, which he received near his eye? he seemed however totally regardless of it. Mr. Hairston then aioied a second Innge at his side, which produced a mere sensible ef fect. The* negro ceased for * mo* ment, and observed, "you damn'd rascal, you have got a knife"? Mr. Hairston seized the moment to renew his intreaties for mercy, offering to send for a physician to heal his w ound, ^ and to forget ^and forgive every tiring.? The barbarian was however inexorable, and Mr. Hair ston perceiving it to be a matter of life ajid death, repeated his stabs with such good effect, that in a short time the unfortunate wretch exjiaus ted by the loss of blood, quitted his $rasp of death, and tumbled off in i he last agonies of dissolution, ob serving to Air. .Hairston, "ion damn'd rascal you have killed me.'

On the 10th inst. we were visited by the most destruc tive and violent gale of wind, which ever occurred within the memory of uur oldest inhabitants. In this place and in the country, the horrors of it were severely felt, and its effects are visible. Some of our streets aje rendered almost impossible by the many trees which are lying prostrate, and the mails can neither arrive here, nor depart, so generally liavp the bridges been washed away. We have had no direct accounts from the country, hut we fear that t4ie crops have suffered. However severely this gale was felt here, it was on the seaboard u fraught with horrors," as the following description of St by a friend 'will show. U The gale at North-Inlet, was preceded fey a great ; prevalence of Easterly and North- i East winds; but , on the 10th the wind blew tempestuously all day, j fluctuating between the points E. N. E. ?ud N. E.-5 but more generally, blowing from the N. E. i% About sunset the scene became i truly ttwful, i he wind increasing in| violence and the tide rising with frightful impetuosity. At about this period the Church was blown from its foundation ami many of the in habitants were seen removing from such houses as appeared most ex posed to the -clangers of the tide and wind. Aftpr dark the Gale continu ed to increase and by 10 or i 1 o'clock there raged one of *the most violent Hurricanes that has ever been ex perienced. At this hour the wind began to back (as it is term*d) to the. N. blowing at times in squalls of in credible violence, bringing with them such floods of rain, that no Bouse in the village could entirely resist their ftiry. The wihd about one o'clock appealed to 1iave backed as fnr as the N. W? from which quarter it continued to blow* but with tie creasing violence till the morning.? From every investigation \vhichli*s l>een made, it appears that die tide rose at least four feet (perpendicularly higher than the com moo spring tides, and was full as high as in the g*eat Hurricane of 1804; ? -The Mercury hi the Themometer, as is usual in our fall dales, remained during the violfetic$ of the stotfm without varia tion? the point at whidi it stood dur ing this Hurricane was 77 1-2 ? it began to fall as the Gale subsided, ana at 8 o'clock on Monday (burning was as low as 73 1-3* "The church and some other buildings were thrown from, their foundation*, and the house of Mr. John W aldo was completely destroy ed. It is with pleasure we add that nolives were lost." /. ^ Narrow Escape.? The stage, on its way from Charleston to this place being impeded by fallen trees and other obstructions the passengers thought it expedient to mount the horses and come on.' Dr. A. Solo mon was riding on, when a tree fal ling suddenly on the horses wethers, crushed ' the horse to death. The Dr. happily found himself uninjur ed* * CHARLESTON, SEPT. 16. .v GMte.? About 12, o'clock on Sa turday night last, a smart gale com menced from N. N. K. accompanied by a heavy fall of rain. During its continuance, it shifted almost round the Compass ? early this morning it was nearly due West. Last night it blew so violently in gusts, that much apprehension was entertained for the shipping, which, however, as far as we have been able to ascer tain, has escaped without material^ damage. We never remember to imve witnessed a greater fall of rain than has occurred between Saturday night apd this morning. - A consid ? ? crable number of Frnit and shade* ? Trees, a9 well as Fences, have been prostrated. It is teared lhat the crops, both Kice and Cotton, ha\e suffered severely. v Since the above was in type, we lenrn that two small wooden tene ments, unoccupied, on an upper wharf; another in King;, above John-street, and two others on Charleston Neck; forty-seveu tree#, and many fences, have also been blown down on Kins;- street road. ? A small building at Haddrill's Point, has also been blown down. A Jury of Inquest was held on t Wednesday last, before J. H. Ste vens, Esq. on the, body of Archibad Graman, found dead under a lar^e back building in John-street, near l King-street Road, which had beet* | blown down during; the storiu on Suuday night. ? It is supposed that the deceased had taken refuse in the- i building, from the severity of the | storm. The Jui y returned a verdict* I that he came to his death by the fal ling of the building.
