KING OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. Captain F. Arthur, of the ship Swift, on his return from the coast of Japan, touched at Atoni, one of the Sandwich Islands, about the 20th of June last, and left there on the 26th. A short time prior to which former date, the British frigate, commanded by Lord Byron. dispatched for the purpose of conveying from England the remains of Rhio Rhio, had arrived at Oahu. The, corpse was landed at that island, and immediately de posited in the. house of Pitt, Prime Minister, Mich house was thereupon strictly " labu'd.' After haring duly lain in state, the funeral was solemnised in the European style: a long and splendid procession was formed, consisting of Europeans, Americans, and na tives, who attended the body to the place of sepulture. For tl.e first time, the natives were prohibited by their Chiefs from exhibiting the customary evidences of grief on such occasions. Of this regulation the natives corn ' plained sadly, saying that if they were not to be per mitted to " cry," or utter audible lamentations, their late King might as well have been buried in England. Many European customs had also been introduced, through the influence of Lord Byron, and those Chiefs who had visited England. Among the new laws was one allowing to every native the privilege of procuring a market for the produce of his own labour, without first being compelled, as formerly, to bring his com modities to the Chiefs. The utmost tranquillity pre vailed at the islands. George Tamoree, the late dis. turber, was going at large, perfectly harmless, though 'the Chiefs chnish a determination to destroy him, as I soon as the protection of Pitt shall be withdrawn.— '1 he young Prince Regent is very muchbeloved. An Infant School is on the eve of being established at Chester, under the sanction of the Bishop -of that diocese. His Lordship attended a public meeting, con •ened by the MAyort, on Tuesday se'nnight, and ex plained at considerable length the reasons that induced him warmly to advocate the formation of institutions of the kind in populous and manufacturing towns. His Lordship also submitted certain resolutions he had pre ' pared, which were adopted, and a Committee was ap pointed to collect the necessary funds. The Bishop and Lord MILGRAVE made donations of 201. each. Naw Cunftzticv.—The assimilation of the Imperial currency, in common with every measure tending to fa cilitate the intercourse and perfect the union of the two countries, will unquestionably be productive of great and permanent advantages. Pending the tran however, and until the Public are familiarized with the new system, much prActical inconvenience will, no doubt, be exceiienced, especially among the humbler classes, who can scarcely be expected to comprehend at once the true . n +lure of so important a change. The re moval of erroneous impressions, and diffusion of just' wtions upin the subject, is therefore at the present mo ment peculiarly de.irable, with a view to lessen the dif ficulths which must, at all events, be encountetied.— Among other points, it ought to be generally known, that the period for demanding payment, or. for ex c!:anging the old notes which may be in circulation after the sth of January, is unlimited; so that no lapse of time, or delay in presenting them, can, in the slightest degree, invalidate the claim of the holder, or affect the real value of the note, which for an indefinite period will continue applicable to all its pre.ent purposes. A right understanding upon this . point may be the means of pre venting, at the approaching juncture, a simultane -us pessule. upon the Bank, altogether unnecessary, and alike inconvenient to that establishment an I to the Pub lic. In many cases, indeed, a reservation old notes , for the purpose of discharging engagemeats Conti acted before the.sth J %rural, may be found extremely useful in superses!ing the necessity of perplexing calculations, and in obviating the embarrassment incidental to transattions with uniuformed or prejudiced individuals. •-• lhivi , ~ , "%N. • • 'POLLS' COUR r-iirltgDAt: His tionour, L. r GiFfean, _too;c his seat this day at ken o'clock, and ordeted the costs to be paid in the lo!lowing, causes, viz. firuthraite v flearclsley ; Maltby v.

Counsel were then heard in this cause, which anise pia of a dispute as to a cert -in bequest. After Counsel had been heard at some length, his HoNOUit said, his present opinion was, that ihe bequest was not one of that nature which he ought to all 'w. However, if he should have any occasion to alter Iris opinion, he would inform the Bar of it ; kut if he did not say anything farther on looking into th. Authorities, his present opinion must be taken to be final. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Novamsza 29. IV. Wilding was opposed by Mr.4•laivt, on behalf of Messrs. Deacon and Banks, overseers of the parish of StandisL, in Lar•.ca.hire. The Insolvent was before the Cow t on the Ist of July last, when, upon its appearing that h • had mketi. the benefit of the Act at Lane 'stet, within five years preceding. his petition was clismissed, with liberty, however, to come up again at the expii A. tion of the five years. Upon his present examination, it appeared that he had been emp!oyeJ by the opposiog creditors as deputy overseer of the parish, and Irscl a salary of &l. a year, together with the privilege of using the labour of some of the paupers for collecting the pat ish rates; and in I+i?.4 he became a defaulter to the amount of 901. lie did nrbt deny his misappropria tion of the money ; but he stated, in palliation of his condtic , , that having a wife and six children, he had been led by neces•ity to apply this sum to his own purpose:, :Ind that it had been his intention, when he did to,torepfice it. Mr. HEATH called upon the Court, seeing that a clear case of embezzlement had been established against the Insolvent on his own admission, to pass such a judg ment upon him as would have the effect of protecting public funds of this description in future. In cases of fraud or forgery, a man's intenti m to replace the ur rney allich he so obtained could not be admitted as an excuse for his offence : the case of Dr. Dodd had set that at test, for no one could impute the abence of such an intention r•n his part, and yet that had not availed him. Mr. POLLOCK, on behalf of the Insolvent, without attempting to justify his conduct, pressed upon the con. sideration of the Court his large family and his pro tracted imprisonment—ever since Easter, 1321.. The Coylyr animadverted upon the Insolvent's mis c..nduct ; but taking into consideration the circumstance that he had not aggravated it by attempting to deny the fact; as w.ll as that he had a numerous family, and had already endured a long impri..onment, their judg ment was, that he be remanded within the walls of the prison for ten calendar months. NEWCASTLE COLLIERS. The differences between the coal-owners and pitmen at Newcastle-on-Tyne, is on the size of the measures.— A correspondent in the Tyne Mercury gives the follow ing account of the dispute, which the Editor sAys he believes is correct : " The fact is, at Jarrow Coll'ery, the peck by which the coal is measured is 2 quarts above measure ; which make an increase of labour, without remuneration, to a very great extent. The pitman has threepence-half penny for hewing, or excavating a cod of coal contain ing twenty • pecks, but in reality the present corves contain twenty-two and a hair pecks, as the peck is made to hold eighteen quarts. In referring to the table of dry measure we learn that eight quarts make a peck. now when that is doubled, (which i. the custom of the coal trade) it will m..ke the peck sixteen quarts, to this two quarts have been added, and this is the sole and real cause of the present disturbance at Jarrow. I agree with you, in condemning the men for leaving their work when under a bond, yet as the masters have set them the example of breaking through the bond by enlarging the measures, how ruinous this is to the workmen will appear by the following calculation. If a pitman hew twelve corves, or two hundred and forty pecks of coal per day, and every peck is two quarts above measure, he has hewed four hundred and eighty quarts of coal for nothing. The numbtr of days that a pitman works in the year may amount to two hundred and eighty-six, at tl.e rate of elrven days a fortnight, which makes at the end of the year 137,280 quarts, 8,580 pecks, or 422 corves, which, at threepence-half penny a piece, amounts to six guineas per year, or nearly two-and-sixpence a week, for which the pitman does not receive one farthing!! ! In a colliery containing upwards of 100 hewers, the owner gains by this method 6001. per annum." Gomm Rose CISINNERY, ESQ.—We regret to an nounce the death of this Gentleman, which lately took place at Madrid. Mr. CHINNERY was one of the Officers of the Treasury, and hi, talents, diligence, and urbanity, were likely to insure his progress to a distinguished situation in that establishment. Mr. CANNING, however, saw his merits and respected his talents, and induced Mr. CUINNRRY to accompany him as Secretary on his embassy to the Court of Portugal. Mr. CHINNIIRY had the advantage of a good education, and possessed abilities of a very high order. LONDON BRICK COMPANY—A Meting of the Mem bers of the Company was convened yesterday, by public advettisement, at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate. hill. It would seem, however, that it was not deemed advisable by the Members rf the Company to make the present state of their affairs known to the public, as it was requested that no person connected with the Press should be in attendanc . It is said that a large amount of gold and Bank of England notes were sent off by the mail-coaches, both yesterday and on Monday evening, to the different country bankers, for the purpose of guarding them against the consequences of a run upon them. This pru dent precaution has been adopted in many instances without instructions, it being obvious that Al the mis ' chief which frequently follows a sudden sun upon a country bank might take place before remittances could be obtained from London.— r irises. • Essex WINTYR Assam—The calendar for these Assiz s is likely to be heavy ; the number at this time for trial exceeds sixty, amongst whom we observe eight persons charged with. horse—tealing.

The failure of the highly-respectable firm of Mews. DAAttson and DOWSLA ND was announced yesterday At the Foreign Stock Exchange. The circumstance cashed much regret, these Gentlemen having e,t4blished, by their general transactions, a character for the greate,t honour and integrity, and by having, in a tecent in stance, voluntarily disci' arged large debts, with the ac cumulated intete,t, to the amount of 25,0001 : for which no legal claim could be made on them. We understand that their present difficulties, which have been princi pally brought on by the rapid depreciation of foreign securities, are likely to be adjusted in a satisfactory manner to all concerned. _ _ _ We have already stated the arrival of Mr KEAN in New York ; be seems to be as unfortunate in his friends there as he sometimes was in this country, if we may judge by a letter which appeared in the Democratic Press, which attributes the censure on him in this country to his being an admirer of Republican Govern ments. This is, of course, a sufficient reason why he shruld be popular in America. Monday se'nnight, a Coroner's Inquest was held at the house of Mr. Way man, the sign of the Three Tuns, Castle End, upon the body of Htnry Paul Rayner, of St. Peter's-stree, Cambridge, who died from a blow re ceived from his apprentice. The deceased was a shoe maker, and the prisoner (who is about e'ghteen yeais of.age) was his apprentice. On the preceding Friday afternoon, upon his giving his mists% ss an impertinent answer to a question put to him, the matter, sitting near him, gave him a backhanded tap upon the head with his hand open; upon which the deceased and the boy !rah jumped up from their stools, and the apprentice struck his master a blow upon the upper F a! t his nose ; a scuffle ensued ; they were parted without al.y more blows being struck, but in a few minutes aft r wards the deceased became insensible, appeared to have lost the use of one side, and never spoke atter wards.
