LONDON, Monday JUNE 1. A VACANCY has occurred in the Episcopal Bvtich'by the death of'Dr Christopher Bethel I, Bishop of Gloucester, which event occurred suddenly about two o'clock yesterday afternoon. Pr ivate letters have been received this morning from Sicily, stating that Admiral Malcolm is collecting- his deet, and has sent orders to all the consuls in the Me- diterranean, to telegraph all ships of war, and give them orders to pr;)i,ee(i i:ji;iieitiatcly to Syracuse, which is the Admiral's plactof rendezvous. He has with him five sail of the line, and tour or five frigates. Many conjectures are ;ifl,)iit ill Sicily respecting this move- ment o! the British Admiivil. By the arrival of the .Marchioness oj* Etil from Cal- cutta, we have received papers to the 29sii Jan. The following is an extract: —" We are happy in being able to state, that the latest accounts from the Governor General, report the progress of his lordship's recovery (i1 be most favourable. His lordship is expected to return to the presidency" hy the route of llerhampore. We hezir thilt Ltdv William Bentinek will not, in con- sequence, proceed to Krngpore, as was expected."

HAMKUUUM, MAY seems to have beer) ohs'inate it various points, but pro- bcsHly wi-tiiyitt any important result; for had the Rus- sians-obtained any 'advantages, we should have had a I bulletin; or had they been really beaten, the Austrian Observer would not have remained silent on the sub- C't. According to one account, the Russians have en completely beaten before Silistria, with the ioss 01 42 pieces of artillery, and four oiicers of rank. A tew days will either confirm or dissipate the rumour, rjuost probably the latter for it is hardly to be expected Chat the Turkswill be able to gain any very decided advantage at the commencement of the campaign.

The rtimours of divisions in the Cabinet, of which tfi# papers of Sunday were full, are not wholly with- out foundation, we imagine.

On Wednesday, when the grave digger of Ayr was busied in Itis vocation, he was astonis ed at pn-ceiviiig tiie earth at the bottom of the grave to be on fire. A number of people immediately collected and bore wltnt.ss tl\ tl" marvellons tircn!Ilstanee. The flamiiig earth and stlJUC thrown out actually burnt the grass on flip -side of the grave.

The report, which arrived at Lloyd's, embodied these facts, and their truth has since been verified by the ship's company of the Gan- ges, East I ndiarnan, which has lateiv lilt) port. We have made inquiry among the sailors, and from ope of them have received the following manuscript one of them have received the following manuscript .narrative, which we give as nearly as possible in his own %Vol-cis: On Tuesday, April the I ltli, hit. 7. 20. north, and long. 22. west, about 10 o'clock, a. in., a ship was seen coining* down before the wind towards us. We showed our colours hut she did not show Iter's About half-past eleven she came within hail, and our raptain told her to send her boat on hoard; she answered, that she had no boat that could swim, and said something about pirates, hut we could not wake out what it meant. We then lowered doivn our cutter. Our captain went on hoard, and, strange to remark, when our men got on the deck of the Admiral Beuhuw, the joy of its crew seemed to overcome them tiie same as if they hail not seen a white man for a number of years but think what horror our hoat's crew were struck with when they went on board and saw the decks, all stained with human hlood, and on the quarter deck clothes of every kind congealed with blood. From what the ship's company said, it ap- peared that they had been hoarded on the Saturday before by a piratical schooner, when they murdered two men, and an apprentice bov, and wounded several. On p inn" gei cut his own throat and stabbed himself sooner tiv.i11 let them take Ids life. The captain was lying in his cabin, though still-alive,-with liis enti-alls ltang-ingout of the left side. During the time of the slaughter'the chief mate jumped overboard, after re- ceiving three wounds, two in his left arm and one in his leg, but afterwards got on hoard unperceived by any of the men, through one of the stern windows, and reached the hold, where i.e hid himself. Our ship being in want of liquor, and the captain wanting some-potatoes, while'filling two hags the mate, who was supposed to have been drowned, came out of his hiding place, looking more like a spirit than a human being". His appearance caused universal pleasure to the crew, who viewed him with astonishment, and voices were heard from every part crying out—"Our chief mate is safe; he is come from the hold." '"After giving the Admiril Benhow navigation hooks, a com- pass, and English colours, fur the pirates had taken their*?, we parted company. Siie was hound for Ma- dras'-and Bengal, anil intended touching at the Cape to refit when she left us." The following is a copy of a letter from one of the crew of the Admiral lienbow to h;s mother, left open for us to read, if we thong -at proper; hut,at all events, to deliver it according its (iii-ectioll My dear Mother,—We saw a sail on our lee quar- ter, about eight; we made more t.lev aid the same, and began to come up with us; we then saw she WitS no lIod; we hoisted our ensign; she made no answer, but fired again to bring us to, and shortening sail, she did the same, and ordered our boat to come on board, We manned the boat with four men, %,iz. Mr. Williams, second mate, William Boyd, William Bryan, and J. Norris, seamen; one passenger came in the boat with us. We were on board a quarter of an hour, when their own boat came on hoard, manned with eight men. We gave them some fowls, potatoes, arid porter. Then they sent four of our men on board their ship: they had not been gone long, when they ¡ sung out, jump overboard, you We then saw their boat coming towards us again, with three of their hands and one of ours, whom they murdered Avhen they came ou board. The ".chief mate clung to the boat's side with David Fall and the passenger; we could not get to their assistance, for they offered to fire at us. They beckoned for us to come to the schooner we went towards them. The four men who went to them in their boat they made jump overboard to us, and we took them in.

To the reader the above narrative and letter may appear so:newhat confused, hut wishing to stick as close as possible to the original, we have giver, it as-it has been supplied to us. In explanation it may be necessary to observe that it was i» the absence of the boat's crew that obeyed tiie mandate of the pirate, that the murder of the four persons before mentioned, the maltreatment of Capt. Crawford, and the plunder of the Admiral Benbow was perpetrated. The crew of the pirate consisted of persons of all nations, and from the variety of property of every description with which she was laden, it was conjectured that she had been tor a length of time committing depredations in these lati- tudes.—Standard. DAUIXG OUTKAGE..—On Thursday, the 21st instant, an affray took place at the fair of Belturbet, county" of Cavan, between a Protestant and a Roman Cathollic. The Papists immediately assembled in great numbers, and furiously attacked every Profestar,t they could come in contact with. The Protestants, being* few in number, were unmercifully beaten. Such of them as could effect their escape from their sanguinary assail- ants ran to Mrs. Mornton's hotel. The popish mob followed them, and iustilntly demolished the windows and (iijoi-s of the ttonse where their intended victims had taken shelter. The Provestants ifred a few blank shots out of the house, with the hope of intimidating their implacable enemies but this merely served to infuriate them the more, The Papists next attacked. tiie police, who ivei-e ordered to prime and load and fix bayonets- So daring, however, did the mob be- that they rushed forward within a few yards of tiie bayonets; and the police were about to receive orders to firc in defence of their lives, when a party of the Lancers came to their assistance, and succeeded in >e< .it-iiig tuirteen Or fourteen of the principal rioters, woo- were armed with bludgeons, stones, and other u —Dublin Paper-. r ( TUAIIIES TUNNEL.—Although there have been ttiure.i as long-as three and even seven miles, there is no in-.ta.ice .of a tunnel executed under the waters of so large a navigable river as the Thames.

Aoin CULTURAL REPORT FOR MAY. —This month has been dry with an interval of warm weather towards the middle of it, but for the most part harsh, cold, alaI unkind. -The nights, in particular have been chilly, and.the north-east winds, which have of late prevail- ed, have been cutting boisterous, and ungenial. It. has been a capital season for weeding and lioeing crops, and for cleaning and preparing the ground for turnips, j The winter foi, the most.part, have turned up j mellow and friable, and though some partial spots, such as hte-ffd Swedes, destined for forward turnips jorrape.to he succeeded by wheat, have broken up before the plough in large, hard, and unconquerable masses, and yet these,dried to their very core by tlie ISllnand wind, will dissolve under the first mild rain, and into powdpr before the liar row, leaving a surface fine and clean for the reception of the seed. The wet- ness of April protracted the barley sowing even to: this month; and that which was put into the g-ronnd (luring the first week of it, appeared to have a better season than- that which was; hurried iu more immedi- ately after the heavy falls of rain. But the soil did not work kindly even at last, and all the backward sown crops of spring corn have had a ti-vinl tiiiie to in their tender infant state. But in this case, as in most others, the weakest goes to the w< 11;"—the poor, thin, dry, exposed, and untractable soils present a miserable appearance, while those rich in natural oraitificia! fertility, especially the foimer, the tender loams, and other good tracts of land, more particularly in sheltered situations, and not too far from the springs, are pushing on their crops mure vigorously than could have been expected, all the cir cumstances of the season considered. The young clovers and' grass seeds, to use a farmer's homely ex- pression, have had neighbour's tare," and being associated with the surrounding spring-corn, under whose fostering shelter they were destined to grow up, have partaken of its fate, and are strong or weak, according to the nature of the soil and situation in which they are placed. Li some instances the yuutlg clovers have perished, whether from accidents connect- ed witit the soil, from fly, slug, or other vermin, is uncertain. Frequently they have been sown again, and rulltd in; and tnelre lit,s, theseI'd on' the snrface whole and unaltered, or with the husk just cracked, and gaping eager for a feeding shower, to fiil it with life and vegetation. Wheat fcr the most part luolts well and healthy this ve;ir. Thele are thin patches in much of it upon Cofil soils, wh eh its waving blade begins to hide from the cursory observer. In this season, as in several ones, the backward sown wheat, whether after turnips or otherwise, is much less promising than that which was put into the ground on weak exposed land, the cold- ness of the nights ititit I% causes the plant to "give out," as it is termed, and fade a little into a pale sickly hue. There, t e str,i.tv, in all probability, will he short, and not very t reductive; but, for the most part, the countenance of the wheat is strong, healthy, and deep-coloured;, promlung well, as far as our sbort-sigiifed ken will permit us to look into future events. A warm, a mild, a "gt)undr, rain is what we are anxiously looking for, especially on the hills; copious, but not hasty, returning at intervals in gentle showers, but not too long continued this would reno- vafe the weak iy spring corn, live a start to the peas and beans, throw up into ..greater-luxuriance the wheats, where I hey* have experienced a elief k, nourish the young grass seeds, and give life to those that have been sown a second time. A rain too would dissolve the rigid clods, and the harsh surfaee of the earth setting in motion* all the implements of hus- bandry that are employelin the work of sowing tur- nip This seed as yet hits been but partially sow n in ■favourable situations; yet we have heard of some instances in which the plant is up, and where the fiy as yet lias hot annoyed it. The nights are ptobahly too cotdto give it life and activity; but unfortunately the same cause that beiirmibs the insect retards also the growth of the plant. The grass, we fear, both natura! and artificial, is stinted beyond the power of rain, come when it may, to foree it into a productive crop, except on soils best adapted to its growth, moist, deep, and fertile. In all others thir produce must be short and light;. the ray grass and trefoil are generally weak and thin, and the clover very frequently has failed. The sainfoin, where in the full meridian of its age. allff in soils of sufficient power, is good and promising, especially if.the situation is also waimi and sheltered but where' the plant is declining from having been sown many years,, and on weak thin, exposed hills, where it forms the mailt resource for hay, there the appearance dops-not j'l\ti-fy the expectation of a fair average swath. Shearing as yet has hardly commenced, except for fit- sheep, so we cittill.),t this- stock turns out of its lVool. Although, the weather has been dry, which sheep love, yet the short, stfppAy of grass has tended to keep stores, low in condition and except where water meadows have been present to lend their aid, food begins to run short for ewes and lambs. This continues to depress the markets for live stock, which,- however, begin partially to advance, and should showers speedily descend, to push forward the herbage a little, rr.av be expected to get better and brisker The markets for corn and meat have been flat. The stocks of wool in growers' hands are nearty exhausted !,)t t tlleiiclie li oifle el I P, itst I)rii,t,s are lower than ever, and> even at. these, dealers little disposed to purchase. Business has certainly assumed a more cheering ap- pearance, than it has lately manifested, and we trust that a considerable improvement is not far distant. The demand for printing cloth has increased a good deai within the last week, and we Ilnierstandagood many orders have been received both from the continent, and the United States. There is not yet, however, any improvement in price, nor while the stocks of goods ar large, is it probable that- any ad vance can be obtained. The country trade is dun but at this season tf is al most invariably so. is still ;t fair tlt-ill;liift to, water twist for exportation, but only little is doing in uvule yarn. Prices remain without alter-ation. — Man- chester Herald. A S-KINN&K.—The corporation of Skinners in the burgh of Lanark is now extinct.

The Jae Earl of Mormogton, the father of the pre- sent Duke Wellington, was one of the very, few nyblc that the history of music has to record. His lordship, when an infant, aud in his nurse's arms, was ulwornrnonlvattentive whenever his father, who was a good musician, played in the violin. A musician, of the name of DubourgT who was at.that time a distin- guished performer on that instrument, being once at the Earl's house, aud offering to take the violin, the child manifested the strongest objections to his father 'parting with it; hut, when, he heard Duhourg play, his infant mind became so sensible of the superiority, that he would never after permit his father to play when Duhourg was present. The Earl did not com- mence performer until he was nine years old but his lordship was soon so distinguished for his musical abi- lities, that the University of Dublin conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Music, and he was appointed King's Professor. One of his songs, Here, in cool grot," is &till, and always has been, much admired. An imrrt¡.tit was held by Joseph Carttar, coroner, and a respectable Jury, at th» George Conduit Vale,, on t he body of Alartiii,I iy)e(liciii student, which was found early on Tuesday morning dead in Greenwich Park.

On the I8th>ult. as a i-especttble- rirrner Protestant, named James Conolly, who resided at AjShavene,. near Seraby, county of Cavan, and who was upwards of 70 years of age, was returning home from Granard market, he was way-laid by a set of assassins (his, /neighbours) who heat with him "toys," (a kind of a spade) branches of trees, and other unmerciful weapons, with such savage ferocity, that they fractured his scull in three different places! The unfortunate victim died in consequence of the injury he received, and was interred on Wednesday liist, the 2/th instant. Mr. CoI)ollvls little daughter,, who was behind him an the horse at the-time lie was way-laid and linocked down, entreated the blood-thirsty savages, in the most heart- moving terms, not to kill her unoffending and aged parent.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—We have seldom had to to a more distressing and awful proof of the folly and danger of incautiously lling-fire-arms, than is furnished by the event we are about to detail. On Monday night two commer- cial gentlemen, Mr. Joseph Gilbert, and Mr. John Carlin, who were staying at the Royal Hotel, and were on most friendly terms,, went out to walk toge- ther, and after making a call o-r two, were on their return through Queen-street, between eleven and twelve o'clock, when Mr. Gilbert, putting his hand into the poeket of his travelling <> rear coat, and finding tllrre his pis-tols, which he had forgotten to put by on corning-in from his journey, and which were loaded ii,"tli b,,Ill, Siii(i ioliili,,Iv l,et its fi"i,e a salute."
