The Deputation appointed to visit New Lanark, b a re made their Report, and they do not feel autho tited to. recommend the adoption of Mr. OWEN'S pil, till the enquiries which it is expected will be o d e , nest Session of Parliament, and the progress of to projected London Establishment, afford them a ride tor the regulation of their future conduct. ln the me m time they recommend that a sufficient quan tity of land should be taken near Leeds to employ portion of the unemployed poor in spade husban ; And they think the impediment arising out of tic Act of Parliament, which limits the number of ;;fa to 20 for each Township, might be obviated by a fair public-spirited individuals taking the required ca tion of land. They farther recommend the placing of the orphan children at present in the Workhouse, under a systent of moral culture, some vliat resembling that adopted at New Lanark. We are most happy to find that trade is recover. isg in this town. Within the last week a number of (;coppers have been set on. A Letter from Brighton, dated Sept. i 9, says : , g The dreadful loss of the Nancy packet is the gene ral theme of conversation here. .The name of the French Lady with three daughters (the hardship of whose condition in liming the whole of her little pro- perty, which which went down with the packet, has excited great commiseration), is Madame FtotrE.tu, Rue du Helder, No. 12, ti Pat is.

A sub• scription has also been opened for the Master of the packet, HENRY BLABER, whose sole means of sub sistence was by his vessel, his only property, and which was uninsured. He is a deserving man with a wife and seven children to bear the hardships of MANCHESTER, SEPT. 19. (Front The Merisixg Chronicle.) Last night the Theatre was opened for the repre. sentation of Richard the Third, and owing to the at traction of KEAN, the audience was numerous and respectable ; bat after the Tragedy terminated, the House became a scene of tumult and riot, certainly Lot originating with the People. Three or four per :cos in die Boxes, in the costume of Military Officers, belonging to the Infantry, called out for " GOD save 11:r King." This call seemed the signal for conflict; for the Band being very imperfect, as it was only a detachment from Liverpool, whence the Company had come for the evening merely with a view to avail itself of the services of Mr. KEAN, the tune did not begin so soon as the party that demanded it desired. The Officers, in appearance, vociferated— . Manager! Manager!" and this was echoed by seve ral voices, accompanied by various shouts, among which we could only discriminate that of " Peterlool Peterloo!" Some missile was thrown from the Gal ldeernyo a u t n c a e p d e a r s s o o n n i e n o t f he th se e c m o n u d r d t e i r e e r rs of of ßo p x et es e , ri who . was this missile, however, missed its object, but struck a chan delier, which immediately fell into the Pit. The fall of the broken glass and candles increased the confu sion. At length several of the performers appeared on the stage, and the Band proceeded to play, we suppose, " GOD save the King; but from the noise in the House, it was impossible to hear, and this noise was principally occasioned by the continued cry for "GOD save the King," accompanied by cries of "Hats off! Hats off!" I did not perceive any hats on; but there were, it seems, a few in the Pit, and two of the apparent Officers immediately jumped down from the Boxes, for the purpose of compelling the boys who happened to wear them to uncover. The boys were, however, uncovered before they reached them. The glory of the enterprize which these gallant he roes nought to accomplish having been wrested from them by the voluntary act of the boys themselves, therefore those Officers returned to the Boxes without any of the laurels which were the object of their am bition. But as a faithful historian, I should. not omit to mention, that one of those Officers, in his loyal zeal and valiant ardour to achieve his purpose, advanced frost the tear to the front of a Box, in which there sere several Ladies, and, placing his foot upon the front bar, leaped right through them. I saw the deed, and it was performed with the most undaunted dex terity. Whether these men were Officers, or to what tarps they belong, I cannot say. " Gab save the Aug" would not, I am convinced, hare met with the ilightest interruption, if it were not for the violence' those most clamorous for its performance— if it were rot for the very arbitrary manner and bullying tin e iii which it was called for. The demand for tune, indeed, at a time when it was known that t . .e Orchestra was quite imperfect, and that all the Il eulbtu of the Operatic Department of the Comb Puy Were at Liverpool—.while there is notoriously, *much of political ferment in the town, could only ?Tweed from a desire to kick up a row," as the t'l)tY advocates for the demand would, no doubt, tftselves term it. Immediately after the ferment . 4 . 19 e, the greater part of the Ladies left the Boxes; ery few, indeed, remained ; and the Farce was for 'matt pan inaudible, at least until the O ffi cers in ' tress bad fatigued themselves into silence. his loss." The Pore's Treasurer, who is a great virtuoso, brought over a ship-load of rare specimens of the Arts, from Herculaneum and Pompeii, as presents to his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON. With this Ita lian the Duke has lately passed much of his time, in holding frequent consultations respecting his intended mansion at Strathfieldsay. No plan has yet been de termined on by his Grace, though several have been submitted to his consideration. Advices from Newfoundland, of the 20th , August, state, that his Majesty's ship TAMAR was drivesnn shore during a thick fog on the 15th or 14th of July,' at Bargepoint, Labrador ; but after cutting away Ter l main and mizen masts, and throwing her guns over board, was got off, and proceeded to the eastward. The Sierra Leone Gazette, of June 19th, announces the arrival of his Majesty's ship PHEASANT, in the harbour of Freetown, on the 17th of that month, having on board the embers of the mixed Commis sion between Great Britain and Spain, for suppres sing the Slave Trade. The Commissioners, immedi ately after their landing, communicated with ED WARD FITZGERALD, Esq. Chief Justice and Judge of the Vice-Admiralty Court of the Colony, and with DANIEL MoLLow HAMILTON, Esq. King's Advocate, who are associated in the Commission, the former as his Majesty's Commissioner of Arbitration, and the latter as Registrar of the Commission. On the morn ing of Wednesday, the 9th instant, a Meeting took place, at the Government House, where the docu ments of delegation on both sides were reciprocally exhibited and authenticated. The oaths prescribed for the impartial distribution of justice, according to the provisions contained in the Treaties, were subse quently administered to the Commissioners and Com missary Judges in the form contained in the Com mission, and the Registrar took the oath to the Com missary Judges, in form provided for him. After the conclusion of this ceremony, the establishment of the Commission was celebrated by firing salutes from Port Thornton and the Pheasant. An excellent house, newly built of wrought stone by Mr. S. THORPE, is taken as an Office and Court House for the Commis sion, and the necessary arrangements are in progress for the dispatch of the cases likely soon to be brought under adjudication. Slave ships swarm on every part of the coast; and even in the Rio Pongas and Rio Nunez, close to this Settlement. The Comm anders 'of his ajesty's cruizers will, therefore, be at no loss where to turn their attention and exertions. Besides the PHEASANT (says the Gazette), we have the plea sure to announce the arrival of the MORGIANA, of 20 guns, Captain STRONG. The HERON, of 20 guns, Captain Mimic, is also known to be on the coast. and is hourly expected here, having sailed from Pen Praya previous to the MORGIA NA but with the in tention of coming along nearer to the coast, and, copsequently, subject to calms. The MYRMIDON, 20 guns, is likewise under orders for this destination. We may, therefore, hope for a numerous list of cap tures, on which we may congratulate the gallant and highly-esteemed Commodore, Sir GEORGE R. Coi- L/ER, Bart. K. C. B. on his return from England to resume his command on the coast, at the close of the present or at the commencement of the ensuing year. The PHEASANT sailed on the 17th for her ulterior station down the coast, and the MoRotANA will sail on the 22d for Cape Coast, whence she is to return northward, having her principal station at this place. We understand, that during the stay of the Moe. DIANA at Port Prays, the Master of a large vessel lying there, prepared for a slaving run, armed with above 20 guns and 190 men, threatened to thrash the MoRoIASA, if she should impede his exp edition., It is only feare d he will keep too far out of of the MORGIANA, to allow the opportunity Of at of strength on the occasion, which Capt.Stacomo, officers, and men, are most anxious to have.

At a General Meeting of the British Merchants, held this day, the following . Report of the Com mittee appointed on the 16th instant, to inspect sun dry documents laid before them by R. P. SfAPLES, Esq. was brought up and read : " The Committee appointed to Report to a Ge neral Meeting of British Merchants resident in Bue nos-Ayres, called for this day, Tuesday, the 20th inst. upon the communication made on the 16th by Ito bert Ponsonby Staples, Esq. of an extract from his Dispatches from the Foreign Office, and of other mat ters, having taken into consideration the informations verbally communicated, and having been favoured by him with an opportunity of inspecting copies of the documents referred to, find, that in consequence of an application addressed by Mr. Staples to the Right Hon. the Secretary of State for the Foreign Department, go. the subject of the relation in which he was to con- Me i h lf, under the sanction of his Government, nn4 ibetnrettr the Aotborities in this country and the Entishreildents Wire it is expressly declared, under the signation , of the hire, of State, that from the period of Mr. Staples departure from England, in 1819, he was specially acouainted that the Spanish Government, having refused to grant a consular curator to his patent, he could not consi der himself as resident in Buenos Ayres in any di plomatic or consular character whatever on the part of the British Government, and that his residence has always been considered by his Majesty's Government as only countenanced by the local Authorities and British Merchants for purposes of mutual accommo dation and communication, without any reference to a representative character, which, in the present state of this country, cannot exist : and that with respect to any channel of communication between the local Go vernment of Buenos Ayres and the British residenters there on objects of commercial interest, it is expressed by Lord Castlereagh, that the same must rest with the parties, his Lordship not deeming it in his power officially to point out any such mode or chan nel, and leaving it entirely to the British residents to adopt such means as their interests may point out to them, in combination with this Government, to pro mote harmony and good understanding between both parties. " From a copy of a letter addressed to his Excel lency the Supreme Director, under date of 25th Sep tember last, by Commodore Bowles, (for the com munication of which we are likewise obliged to Mr. Staples)it appears that Commodore Bowles considers, and has expressly stated himself to this Government, to be his Britannic Majesty's representative in this I country, and to be acting under instructions which renders it his duty to protest against the smallest at tack on the property or the persons of the British merchants in this city; and that, under this view of his power and public character here, he did formally and solemnly protest against the enforcement of the measure meditated by this Government about that period for levying a forced contribution on the British merchants." We are sorry to announce the sudden death of Mr. Dowxs, the well-known Major of the St. James% Volunteers. This Gentleman, on his way from Edin burgh to London, was attacked with an apoplectic fit ; he only uttered the words, " It is all over !" and died immediately. The following intelligence is from a Charleston Paper, dated August 11 :—‘‘ It becomes our painful duty to state, that the yellow fever has made its ap pearance in this City. In doing this, we conceive that we are performing a duty to humanity and to the Public in general, to whom we pledged ourselves to report the first case that occurred. We have been guarded in not exciting unnecessary alarm, and have therefore made this statement on the authority of the Board of Health of this City, as well as with the ap. probation of the respectable Medical Gentlemen who attended a stranger that died this morning, and who are also in attendance osi two others that are now affected. We think properlurther to state, that ciao above cases of fever anise from peculiar cause., by ao means general. and should not innediately.excite /such sedous Alarm as to induce persons to leave the City whose busioess may enquire their attention.
