Curious Mistake.-A Dublin paper says, "A person who held an official situation in Dublin, whose wife had caught the typhus fever, had sent her to the hospital for recovery. Having received information of her death, he brought her home to his house; and, according the Irish fashion, had her waked for several nights: he then invited several of his relations, and conveyed her several miles into the country, where she was buried, Having called at the hospital about a week afterwards for her clothes (whether to his sorrow or no we cannot say) he found his wife so far recovered as to be

able to walk home with him. The woman he had buried in mistake was a poor friendless pauper, who otherwise would have been buried at the expense of the parish."

SPAIN.

It is now said, that two 74's and three frigates have sailed for Lima, and that the grand expedition, now rated at 10,000 men, will leave Cadiz about the 1st of Sept. And what will 10,000 men do, if they ever get to Buenos Ayres?

Let us now hear what the member from Coventry says of the condition of the laboring classes, principally ribband weavers.He divides them into five classes, all of them working 96 hours in the week or 16 hours in the day. The first class receive for their labor ten shilling a week or two pence half penny an hour. The second class gains five shillings and sixpence per week. The third class earns two shilling and nine pence per week, which is working at the rate of four hours for five farthings.

New York. At a late sitting of the council of ap pointment at Albany, many officers were removed. Much political irritation exists in this state.

Summary justice. After a late extensive fire which happened at Charleston, a fellow was found secreting some goods that had been stolen during the calamity. The alternative was offered to him, whether he would be prosecuted at law, or suffer punishment on the spot; he chose the latter, was tied to a tree, received fifty lashes well laid on, and got off clear, having restored the stolen goods.

British emigrants. It is announced in a N. York paper that Mr. Buchannan, the British consul there, is "making arrangements for the location in Canada, of numerous British subjects who had emigrated to the United States." This paragraph may be well "understood" by the fact, that on the 20th instant 145 emigrants arrived at Philadelphia afone, by way of the British possessions in America: 100 also arrived at Alexandria and 85 at New York, on the 19th, from Moose Island and Halifax.

He was interred with military honors, by the 5th regiment, and attended to the "narrow house" by a large concourse of citizens.

Also, in Pittsfield, Vermont, in June last, general ISRAEL KEITH, aged about 70. In the war of the revolution he was an aid to major general Heath, and an assistant adjutant general.
