COLONIAL INII2I.IIGENCE. ANTIGUA, SEPTEMBER 17. We feel no surprise at Sir Hudson Lowe having de clined the Government of this island. Considering the highly in.portant office he filled at St. Helena, upon which the peace of all Europe depended, we should hardly have expected his acceptance of it. The tempestuous weather which prevailed during the early pail of this month has been severely felt in the other i-lands, where much damage has been done. At Guadeloupe a vessel of war has been totally lost, with a hundred men. Happily for us, we have hitherto e-caped the visitation of this scourge of the West Indies. ST. VINCENT'S, SEPTE3IBER 12. On Tuesday a half-yearly Court of Grand Sessions of the Peace was held at the COurt-house. The trial of the negro man Smith, for the murder of Thomas Adam • , was the only subject 01 consequence that came before the above Court ; and from the 'atro city of the crime—the fortunate infiequency of such offences in this community—with the place and cit cum stances under which it was committed—very general attention was excited towards it, and the Court was op pressively crowded. Most of the witnesses were ex amined as to their opinion of the prisoner's sanity; and although some circumstances were mentioned from which it would seem that he r►ccas . ally laboured un der a certain aberration of mind, that might have ap prOached very nearly to idiotcy, still it did not appear that he was so affected at the time of committing the murder, which he no doubt did in a lit of ungovernable passion. He was accordingly found guilty,. and re ceived sentence of death on Wednesday morning. A Privy Council was, moreover, held yesterday, at hich Oils man's case was, we believe, again considered, as his Excellency, the Governor's order to carry the sen ter.ce of the law into effect was issued shortly after. The unhappy man was therefore executed this morning, in the market-place, about 11 o'clock. He denied the crime, which was proved against him on the clearest ciscunistantial evidence, until the last moment, behaved throughout w ith the same hardened indifference that he manifested on his trial, and constantly refused spi ritual consolation from the ministers of religion, who visited him in prison, and attended the execution. WAR IV INDIA. The following is an extract of a letter from an Officer engaged in active operations against the Burmese : it is dated Rangoon, May 21 In the affair of ltamoo, the But mese tought well, and lost about 70 or 80 killed, for no quarter was given, nor do I think it will be given during tl:e war, on either side ; for if you save aßirman's life, it is ten to one but he returns the favour by taking ) our's. Fri:or all appearances, this will be a bloody and vrotracted• warfare. We are about to send an expedition against Syriani and die ancient city of Pegu in a few days. It is about 70 miles up the river, and we shall have bash fighting all the way. We are now busy in fitting fire-boom, and arranging fur the boats to go up the river. Ido not think we shall be ready for the ex pedition up the Irrawaddy river to Prome in less than a month. The Captain of theLarne will then hoist his pendant on hoard the steamboat. Sir A. Campbell. with the major part of the forces, will join him ; and only a su ffi cient garrison will be left to protect Ran goon. If we reach Prome, all will be well ; but it is an extremly difficult undertaking to transport in open boats a force of 6000 or 7000 men up a rapid river, within a stone's thriiw 01 the beach, and a determined enemy an noying us the whole way. It must be done; and if they do not come to terms, we must go up to Ummerapoora. -,,,The mode of annoyance on the part of the enemy is by fie-rafts Arid war-boats; and as the rainy seas.in is now coming on, the) will have the advantage of the dark nights. With these they oblige us to keep a sharp look out. They also tink large boats to the gunwales, antiturn them :drift upon us. The force with which they cone down, aided by the current, is very great. One nearly came on boat d of us the other night ; it caught a rope, and the rope cut off a boy's leg as clean as it it had been amputated. We are going to send 12 of the Madras vessels for 8,000 men, and for provisions.' TliE EVENIN“ LONDON. FRIDAY, NOVENIBER 19, 1524. THE FUNDS. STOCK EXCHANGE. Twitz,vm O'CLOCK.

IBRAHIM PACIIA is said to have written a letter to his father, the Viceroy of EGYPT, complaining that he had received wrong information with respect to the G.-eeks, and praying to return home, or, at all events, not to continue the war.—We have no faith in this letter, but we should not he surprised to find MEHMET Am shaking off the authority of the Ottoman Forte, and declaring Egypt independent. Everything tends to hasten the overthrow of the Turkish dominion ; in Ettroi,e it is nearly gone; in Asia it is threatened, and in Africa it is al-o ut peat danger. The intelligence from Spain throws no light on the , real intention as to evacuating Sinain ; a portion of the troops will, in all probability, be withdrawn, but, several of the principal towns will still have French garrisons • Indeed, private letters from Madrid of the 4th instant state, that r tl►e artillery and hospitals were to break up on the following day, and leave in the direction of France. In the meantime the Spanish Government seems to do nothing but legislate. New decrees have been issued, which spew that the Councils of FERDINAND VIL are not marked by much wisdom. By one of these, the Officers of the late Constitutional army are to be de prived of their horses, when fit for the service of the cavalry or ;millet y, and of all articles of equipment or hai ness which they may possess, on the ground that " complaints were continually made of their conduct." The other Decrees relate to the mode of instruction to be adopted both in Seminaries and in public. Eccle. siastical discipline is to be re•established in the former, according to the precepts of the Sacred Council rf Trent, in the Chapter de Refos matione," whilst the ba,i , of a general system of study, calculated to keep in the dark, rather than t►► enlighten the people, is laid by a chit d and last Decree. The case of the United Associate Synod and the Rev. Mr. FLETclicit, vvas heard yesterday before the Limo CHANCELLOR. It would seem that both parties ate fast, to use a homely expression. By the Tina Deed, such persons shall be nominated to preach in Nloorgate Chapel as the Burgher Synod of Scotland •hall appoint. This is pretty conclusive against Mr. FLETCHER. t , tit then again, by the Deed, no one can preach in that Chapel who has not the consent of the majority of the congregation, and this cripples the United Associate Synod, for it appears that the majority of the congre gation are withl%lr. FLETCHER, and will oppose the no mination of any other individual. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. The Marquis of Anglesey has arrived at his seat, Emu Desert, Staffordshire, from a tour.

Sir Jolts and Lady SitaLLey _have invited a dis tinguished party to Meresfield, to meet his Royal Highness the Duke of Yollt, on a shooting party for next week. The late death of an Academician (M. LACRETELLE) has left one of the forty chairs vacant fur a new literary aspirant; 'and several candidates of merit have appeared. The chief of these are the two most popular poets in France at the present moment, M. CALUMIK os LATIGNII and M. De LA MaienNE—the former be longing to the Liberal, and the latter to the Royalist party. We hear that the 3d of May is the day appointed for the Coronation, at Rheims, of Oran Les X. of France. There ate eight neighbouring Clergymen in the vici nity of Exeter, whose united ages amount to nearly sis hundved years, an occurrence scarcely to be again met with in England. We have been int . ..rimed that Gen. ANDERSON, of the East India Company's Service, who died lately in Lo, don, has bequeathed the bulk of his fortune, amounting to about 70,000/. for the purpose of establishing two institutions in Elgin : the one for the reception of indigent natives of that country, who are upwards of 5.1 years of age; the other fur the education of poor children. DItUltY-LANE THBATRII.— The IV:titer's 'lair was performed last night, for the first time this season. MACREADY'S Leoodes received much applause. Mrs. BUNN'S appearance as Her. *vote also excittd approbation. Mater in Auto/our was very clever. Mrs. WENT was the Patiiiisa, and Miss 1. PATON played Perdita for the first time. The other characters were ail supported as before, and with the same general efficiency. Thr Farce of the Rendezvous followed, in which Mrs. Yens gave a charming repre. sentation ope f Sophia.

That old favourite with the public, Mrs. Myanmar, will also have to sustain one of the characters. The reign of HENRY 111. and not HENRY VI. is the period chosen by Rowt.zy for the action of the new Comedy. The Author of this play, in its revived state, and the Manager of the Theatre, in concert with him, have changed the costume, which is quite appropriate , and most beautiful, to the reign of ilexes' VI. for the purpose of introducing the " Loan MAYOZ'S thew as it passed through Cheapside in 1444."

The various mantetivires were performed agreeably to the new system with the utmost precision, the firings in line and divi sions evinced the steadiness and attention of the men, and the whole went off, as we have been informed, to the perfect satisfac tion of his Excellency, and highly gratifying to a very numerous assemblage of our Citizens, who thronged the bank, and other places on the square not occupied by the troops. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The Juno, Lzrevoc, from Jersey to Leith, was driven on shore near Newhaven yesterday. The Whitehall, front Dublin, was totally lost off Liverpool on Tuesday night—one buy drowned.

Jou n JOSZPII Prat, of Nleckleriburgh -street, D u bli n , ac: tompanied by Mrs. Mowt.ns, of North Cumberland street, arrived at Shanahan 's Hotel, in this city. Af ter exchanging horses they immediately drove off for Dun. more, where they were, in consequence of the non-arri. val of the steam-packets, obliged to sojourn at Cherry hotel, until Saturday morning. when they were over. taken by the Lady's husband, Mr. Geom.:a Frtznerucic Mowmas, a respectable solicitor, accompanied by a im . they proles,ional Gentleman. An unpleasant and rather violent rencontre took place between the parties. M i.

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATI LETTER PROM NAPLES, OCT. 30• "On my arrival here the other day 1 found i t i he s gay season had commenced, by Mrs. Hamilton's (the Blom! ) Minister's Lady) weekly parties. It is at Mr , . : that the first amateur singers are heard, and that Lady her self executes the most difficult pieces in a very p!easieg and scientific manner. I cannot say there are so many of onr countrymen here as the approach of .winter usually brings—perhaps it is that, as the Holy Year be gins at Rome in a couple of months, when that city will be at the height of dulness, the lovers of gaiety are determined to indulge in it as long as they car., and the Duke of Braciano (Torlonia), though he makes them pay for it, certainly gives most agreeable entertainments " Lord Harrorwhy, and his charming daughters, the Ladies Ryder, have been here the last ten days, but they make but a short stay. His Lordship had a private audience with his Majesty a few days since, but it was not:of long duration ; for the King recollected that it was one of his hunting days, and hurried off to his sport. " Lord and Lady 131essington have the Duke de Gallo's villa at Capo de Monti, where they are rusti cating. The Margravine of A uspach is arrived.frour Eng land full of health and activity, and begir.s to think of indulging vs with some "prorerbes dramatique." Lady Drummond's Fetes, of which everybody talks, wig shortly begin. Fortunately for the amateurs of musc Mrs. Hamilton " receires" for two months lon g er—Mr. Hill is not coming till the beginning of the )car. In fact, from what I can learn, Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton will be generally regretted. " The Marquis of Hastings still keeps at Mika, though the Sciroceo wind does not agree with Sicily is visited now a great deal, from the steam boat, which plies regularly between this and Paler mu, making the voyage a certainty in twenty-four boors; while t.n or three days were !tithe, to thought a fair passage. The Government as yet does not patronise it—partaking 'a great deal of the prejudice of the peoi.le; but this is fast wearing away with the Lazaront, high and low ; by and bye the Government will see its interest is to bring Sicily as nearly as possible to the seat of Government, and steers-accomplishes this. " I had nearly forgotten to mention an elopement which has just taken place, and which creates a good deal of bustle. The parties are a son of a Noble Lord once high in official power, and a daughter of a Russian Nobleman of great affluence ; they became acquainted at the Baths of Lucca, from whence they eloped. The young Lady is a dark beauty, and of a very romantic disposition ; her father is represented to be so incensed as to deprive her of all future expectations from him. This disapprobation of the match is by no means con fined to the Lady's relatives—it is mutual, though pl.: , ceeding from opposite causes." Letters from Porto Rico, by the Leeward Island Mail, state that there has been a great hurricane at that place. In St. Thomas's it has thrown all the wharts down ; several sloops and schooners are sunk. A vessel has arrived at Cowes from Rio Janeiro, in 45 days, but the letters are not in town. Letters were received yesterday by another arrival, but their date% are antecedent to those already published. Letters by the Leeward Island packet state, char. there has been a severe tempest experienced at many of the Islands to leeward, which had done much injury to the buildings on shore, and several small coasting vessels were sunk daring the gale. A plan for the fol. oration of a Company, for the more expeditious commn• nication with the different West India Islands, by mews of steam. vessels, had been very favourably received, and would be shortly put in execution. The Americans do not slacken their exertions i , t aid of the Greeks. In addition to the subscription al ready announced from that City, 4:1,311 Ba. Bd. have been remitted to Messrs. Ilartssu, Ilitouseas, and Ct... to the order of the Greek Authorities. The Churchwardens of St. Mary Woolnoth, have cir culated a printed list of the places where the file cocks, &c. 17e situated in their parish, and had their BeaJle instructed some time since by the Tomcod to open the cocks hom the main to the service pipe within the p aid). It is suggested that if other Parish Officers would ado' t the same system, there would not be the want of watt vso universally complained of. . . Yesterday, at the Auction Mart, Sutton Hall Mans i on , Manor and Estates, the property of the Marquis Oassonoe, was purchased by Mr. ARKWRIGIIT, the Cotton Spinner of Manchester, for 216,0001. NIT.. RoartasoN, the Gentleman who purchased Chilcote, brought with , him, in his pocket-book, nine notes of 1,0001. each. Ile paid, as a deposit for his Ir.? chase, 5,0001. and just at the close of the sale, he had hi , pocket picked of the remaining 4,0001. with which booty the thief got clear off. Mr. Rovrxo3:e imme diately went over to the Bank to give notice of the robbery, and to stop the payMent of the notes. The person of the man suspected to be the thief, is known to therolice.
