It is high water just now, and the tide bas broached our quays, and floats over the lower streets of the town, but not sufficiently high to do irjui y ; the tradesmen are, however, preparing for a complete inun dation to-morrow morning's spring, which doubtless visit them, should 04 wind not abate.

Green-room report speaks favourably of the new Opera in sehearsal at Covent-Garden Theatre, which is to be pro duced at Easter. ITALIAN OPERA.—II Bat biere di &Idea was per formed last night at the Haymarket Theatre, the cha racter of itossna by Madame VE.Truts, who entered with great spirit into the vivacious archness of the heroine of Rossini's opera. Her voice Was evidently a little impaired ; by a told. Signor de BEMs played Bartok with , gveat effect; and Signor BIOME supported the charac ter of Count Atmaviva respectably, allowing for the disadvantages of a comparison with GARCIA in the, same part. Signor PortTo performed Basilic), and Sig nor REMORINI Figaro. In the divertisement between the' acts of the opera there was a great want of effect, arising from the narrow space to which the exertions of the corps de ballet were confined. Among the dancers, VESTRIS and his wife attracted the chief attention. The latter is improved both in grace and power. The House was well and most respectably filled. The Duke of WELLINGTON was among the audience; his Grace looks better, though he still bears marks of indisposition. L. VON BEETHOVEN and C. M. VON WEBER, the musical composers (the latter so celebrated on account of Der Freisehutz), ate expected in this country. The former, it is stated, has been invited by the Philharmo , nic Society, and WEBER by the Manager of Covent- Garden Theatre. BEETHOVEN is almost entirely deaf, so that the sight of him at the Philharmonic Concerts must be the main object in view, besides that of paying a compliment to so distinguished a composer. WEBER is desired for the purpose of conduCting the forthcoming Opera at Covent-Garden,which is founded on the " Tale of Oberon;' and is to be brought out after Easter. Lord PALMERSTON, on Monday evening, obtained leave to bring in a Bill to' continue the Mutiny Act; and Mr. CnottEn had the like approbation for a bill to continue the Act for the' Regulation of the Marine Forces ; so that the Government portions of the Busi ness of Parliament continue to be actively attended to. Ttte Estimates for Civil Contingencies and Army Ex traordinaries were postponed till Friday, in consequence of the long desultory conversation on the Report of the Army Estimates, on Monday. a Dr. MAJENDIE, of Paris, denies the statement made io the H ruse of Commons, of his haviog given ten geineas for a do g, and nailed it to a table, itc. It is, he says, an unfounded calumny, and he appeals to the candour of the eminent Physicians and Surgeons of LondJo, who have witnessed his experiments on ani mals, to say whether any such experiment was ever, Made as he was said in Parliament to have performed.l Thursday last, Chelte n h am; b a woman was exhibited for sale in but b • eing considered a " bad lot," no ( porchaser was foetal for such a bargain, and she was sloven home, nith other unsaleable stock (it being mar ket day), unsold.

One of the., namely, the Valenciana, Baron Humboldt has very mi nutely described in his work on New Spain. The Ba ron states this mine to be the richest mine of Mexico. It lies from eighty to a hundred leagues further in the interior than the city of Mexico, on the mother vein of Guanaxuato. This mine, the Baron affirms, produced .as much silver in the year 1791 as was produced by the whole kingdom of Peru that year, and that it yields seven times more metal than the mines of Freiborg, and one half as much as the whole kingdom of Saxony !! He moreover adds, that the amount of the sales of the raw ores at the pit's mouth (where, as in Cornwall, they are sold weekly by auction), avet aged, during thirty three years, from 1771 to 1804, the enormous sum of 583,3801. per annum, while he also asserts that it never yielded less net profit, during forty years, than from 82,5061. to 123,7591. per annum, notwithstanding the excessive expenses incurred, and the unscientific manner in which every operation, as connected with the mining department, was conducted. Some years the net profits amounted "to 250,0001. This mine continued 'exceedingly rich up to the perioi of the Revolution in 1810, as is proved by official documents brought to this country, which state, that up to that period it con tinued to produce ores to the amount of a million and a half dollars per annum. " The accounts which have reached this country from the mining - districts, through different channels, as well as the letters recently received from Mexico, fully can firm the favourable opinions advanced by the writer, and it is publicly mentioned in the City, that they are now raising two thousand mule loads of ore per week, from the upper works of the Valenciana mine, which quantity of ore, calculated at the value of four ounces of silver per cwt. of ore (Humboldt's estimate), would give a produce exceeding 50001. weekly. Such being already the case, it is difficult to form any accurate estimate. of what will be the value of the produce of this mine (declared in a published letter of Captain Garby, the chief miner sent out by the Anglo-Mexican Mine Company, to be more valuable than all the mines of Cornwall united), when it is freed from its water, and in full work; and when the very rich ores contained in its colossal pillars, er supports between the different workings, can be reached. These pillars are estimated by the best Mexican judges to be worth 40,000,000 of dollars, or 8,000,0001. sterling, even if sold at the pit's mouth ; but, from the information received, it is pro bable that these enormous masses of rich ore, which constitute the pillars between the six or eight-and-twenty horizontal tiers of workings in this mine, will produce eight or ten times that amount, when converted by the improved systems of smelting, or amalgamation. " Hence, then, whenever the mine becomes exhausted of its ores, an immense property may be realised by the entire removal of these pillars ; while, according to the opinions of Mr. Moyle and Mr. Garby, two-thirds of them may, even now, be removed without danger to the mine, by substituting props of wood, combined with refuse stones, as is the practice in Cornwall under similar circumstances." A Gentleman has arrived in town from Paris, for the purpose of purchasing various articles for the use of the King of France, and the Royal Family, at the ap proaching coronation. Last year the value of goods imported into Odessa,' amounted to nearly eleven millions of rubles; the ex ports to above fourteen millions. Letters from Madrid. dated the 20th ult. state, that the agents of the Spanish Government had written to their employers from Paris to announce that .they thought the 4, loan would not go down in England." We believe this to be a perfectly sound judgment on the part of the agents, which has been confirmed by their subsequent experience in this country. These let ters state that a very active correspondence was carry ing on between the Russian and Spanish Cabinets, and add that several couriers had recently arrived there from St. Petersburgh. It was thought that these com munications related to the declaration of the British Government respecting the Independence of South America, which had been taken in high dudgeon by his CATHOLIC MAJESTY. The plan of the Colombian Colonization Society has now been made public. It appears that a law passed the Congress of that Republic on the 11th June, 1823, investing the Government with authority to dispose of lands, and grant privileges for the purpose of facilitat• ing emigration. Under this law two grants of land have been made, in different districts of Colombia, of which the Association has become 'possessed, amount• ing to upwards of a million of English acres. By the same 4aw, and for the same purpose, various privileges are conferred on persons coming out as settlers, the principal of which are exemptions from contributions and tithes during six years, and from export duties on the produce raised by them for the same period. The Association also extends its views to the formation of roads, and other objects not immediately connected with colonization. Whatever the issue of it may be as a mere medium for the employment of capital, it is evident that the undertaking, if judiciously conducted, will be productive of great benefits to Colombia, and tend to advance with an accelerated pace the prospe rity of this rising country. Care has been taken to provide that the settlers shall net be molested on the score of religious belief. This new 'Company, which came out yesterday, is called the " Colombian Asso ciation for Agricultural and other Purposes." Capi tal 1,300,0001. divided into 13,000 shares of 1001. each, the whole of which, it is said, have been filled' up .for some time back. At one o'clock the shares bore a pre- Milan of 171. Another Company, under the title of the "Patent Steam Carriage," was also launched, and at first bore a premium of 31. but afterwards receded to 21. per share. We understand that it is in contemplation by the Bank lli:ectors to give some increased facilities to per. sons who keep cash accounts with the Bank of England, which will render the accommodation in that respect nearly the same as at a private bank. Checks as low as 51. will be allowed to be drawn. The Bank will also receive the dividends for any persons who may desire it, under a power of attorney, This latter step is said to have been strongly recommended to the Directors in consequence of thelate failures at the west end of , the town. r -- 4r • •• - THE ARMY. • • row tro4ed the 6th Dragoon °Mirth, from Glasgow ; one troop, with a •Field.OlEcer, front Hamilton ; and another from Perth, are ordered to.

FOX HUNTING. 124 • FIRE. • A dreadful Gre broke 'Oa Otis morning, about Rae o'clock, in the lower part of the house of Mr. Whiting, the venetian blind maker, the corner of 11,f)se and Crown Court, 'and Broad street-buildings, Fin:bury. Eames burnt with great ftiry, and soon communicated to the adjoining houses on each side, one'a cabinet m: i . ker's, the other a grocer's, in Broad-street-buildings, belonging to Messrs.

Soon after eight, the three houses fell with a most tremendous crash, hut we are happy to state that no person was hurt by their falling. 'The fire originated, it is said, from a Ferson io the em ploy of Mr. Whiting making a preparation fur colour ing the blinds, the contents of which boiled over, and 'ter file to the building.

He bad no sooner ruounted, than off the animal started down a very narrow lane; at the bottom of this lane was placed some gorse fence, to ptvrent passengers from falling over a precipice of 20 feet or upwards, the road turning in a right angle. The horse was what some people call foresighted, and actually cleared the fence, a turnpike-road Which was at the bottom of the precipice, and lodged safely in a quickset hedge opposite, neither horse nor rider being hurt. The leap was *opposed to be about 36 or 40 feet in length, the fall from the top of the bank to the turnpike road about 20 feet, the hedge being on a level with the road. —Sperling Magazine. q•i'm LOSS OF THE KENT INDIAMAN. Although we have given a detailed account of the loss of this •essel, yet the following extract from a Letter from Falmouth, 1.; hich appears in the Exeter Alfred, will be read with inte:est. Alter alluding to the crowded ;tale of the Cambria after she had received the survivors, and their landing at Falmouth, the writer says : The hospitality of the inhabitants of Falmouth, and its en virons, was folly proved by the grotesque appearance of the men, women, and children. alter they had been on shore half an hour; some of the women dressed in flounces, and others in Quakers' ebswla and caps—Officers, with large coats and small trowsers— some with shoes pinching their toes, and others with boots each large enough for both legs. The females of the town were seen running with their bundles to the place of rendezvous; and a select number of Ladies going, in couples, into every house, soliciting pe cuniary aid. Our Penryn friends were not behind ; for a collection 'of clothes commenced at day-break, and a chest was provided to converthem to Falmouth; but, on collecting the whole together, it was found a cart would not contain them. The Ladies of Fal mouth aloar had colleted JEW before five o'clock. It is impossible to say too much in prrise of the inhabitants—l could have wished myself a native of the place. Colonel Fearon had his wife and fee daughters with him, who, with several other Ladies on board, had nothing but what they escaped in. The Miners in the Cambria stripped themselves entirely to alleviate their sufferings.' POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Monday evening and yesterday a young man, attired in a blue surtout, cut in the military fashion and covered with braiding, and wearing a cap with a broad gold band upon it, in the style of the undress caps of the Oxford Blues and Royal Artillery, underwent an examination before Mr. HALLS, on eltargefof having committed frauds upon several tradesmen. The prisoner is a tall thin young man, of dark' complexion, and would by many be taken to be of Jewish descent. He gave his name Francis Edward Douglas Browne. The first charge was preferred by Mr. Oliphant, the army ac coutrement maker, in Cockspur-street, Charing-cross. The priso ner, it appeared, went to his shop on Friday last, and representing himself to be an officer in the Royal Artillery, selected a sword and two scabbards, the price of which was £5. Bs. 6d. and ordered them to be sent to Osborne's Hotel, in the Adelphi. He gave is payment a cheque for the amount upon Sir John Ladbroke and Co. the bankers. His appearance, mid the respectabilitrof the hotel at which he was lodging, lulled suspicion, and no inquiry was made; but when the cheque was presented at Ladbroke 's the an swer was ttat no such person as the drawer was known there. One of Mr. Oliphant's clerks went immediately to Osborne's, but found that the prisoner had left that hotel. He traced him after 'much inquiry to the New Ilummums, Covent-garden, and when be was shewn to his room he held out the cheque and informed him of the answer given at the hankers. The prisoner affected surprise, and took the cheque, as the clerk supposed, merely to look at it, but he instantly tore it in pieces and threw it in the fire, observing, that it was of titit'st to anybody. - Mr. Harrison, one of the proprietors of the Hummums, sent for an officer, and Leadbitter, one of the patrols of this Office, took him into cust ody. On the wsy to the watch-house, they were followed by a young girl, and the prisoner taking something cautiously from his pocket, held it towards her, saying, " destroy this—burn it— it is the principal against me." The constable, however, seized it, and found it to be a cheque-book of the house of Ladbro ke and Co. He next took out a piece of paper and attempted to tear it, but the officer got it from him, and found it to be a bill and 'receipt for goods to the amount of £9 4s. 6d. purchased at the shop of Messrs. Milne and James, drapers, Oiford-street. At the watch-house he was searched, and a great number of papers and letters were found on him. Among these were several blank stamp receipts of the well known house of Mortlock, the porcelain and china warehouse, Oxford street, and some letters sealed and addressed to the Right Mon. Lord Bexley, the Rev. T. F. Dibdin, the Rev. Noel Dishy, Dowager Lady Abdy, and other persons of consideration. The officer also found a pawnbroker's duplicate for a watch+, which the prisoner said he had pawned to pay his bill at Osborne's Hotel. The prisoner when brought up yesterday was put to the bar, and his manner was tonsiderably altered ;he seemed depressed. He was remanded for further examination until Friday next. In the course of the hearing of the case on Monday evening, the prisoner reminded the Magistrate, that he had once appeared before hint in a very different character from the present: and being de sired to explain, he told the story, which was shortly this i—He was employed as a collector of advertisements for a weekly publi cation, which existed for a time, the British and Oriental Herald, and some underling of his own forged a receipt for .62 Bs. He brought the fellow to this Office, but after getting him locked up for a time, he compromised the matter for money, for which he was strongly censured by Mr. HALLS. A Mr. Caldcleugh, who has been sent into Germany by the Anglo-Chiltan Association, to engage working miners in that country, is just returned from his mis sion. He met with a good reception in the mining dis tricts of the Hartz and 'Fribourg, and every facility was afforded him, patticularly in Saxony, for attaining his objeit. In consequence of the express interference of one of the members of the Royal family, the regulation by which the miners were prohibited from emigrating has been withdrawn. We cannot but congratulate the country on the en lightened policy Ministers continue to pursue, in what ever has a tendency to give elasticity to the springs of commerce. The truth of this remark has been exem plified in the case of the ship Calypso, which arrived front the Mediterranean at Standgate Creek, with a cargo of cotton and other goods, on Sunday last . ; the Privy Council having immediately ordered the ship to be released from all restraint on account of quarantine, without discharging her cargo into Lazarettos, as usual ; and - we understand the Commissioners of Cus toms have orders not to demand the Quarantine Duty hitherto payable, of fis. 6d. per ton. This will form a precedent for all vessels arriving from the Mediterra nean with dean Bills of Health, and will be highly ad vantageous, in particular to the silk manufactures of this country, as this valuable commodity may now ar rive in London from Italy in less than three weeks, by means of the steam vessels lately established, and anin cumbeted with the delays and heavy charges necessarily attendant on a long quarantine.—Public Ledger.

GREAT PEDESTRIAN MATCIL. The great foot race of twenty miles for 1000 sovereigns, between Captain R. ,Prestcot and Mr. Courtenay. took place on Monday, in Cannonbury Park, Bucks, over a four-mile circle.

Saturday, a race waa run at New Mills, in Cheshire, for a consi derable wager; one Gentleman betting another that be ran fifty rude with a perm. on his back, weighing - upwards of nine score, in less time than another should run 100 yards. The race was so well contested as to be won by only a few inches, by the Gentlerrftn who carried the weight. THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, MARCH 9. Although the demand for all descriptions of Grain was not very brisk this morning, Monday's prices were fully supported for fine samples of each ; and Oats sell freely in the face of a large arrival. Supplies since our last return-4,900 luatters.of Wheat; 9,1.65 quarters of Barley; 13,200 quarters of English, with 12,400 quar ters of Irish Oats; and 6,200 sacks of Flour.
