BLOCKADE OF THE DARDANELLES. Lamm. Oct. 11. 11148. Garrinstan—l have the honour of acknowledging the receipt of your letter of yesterday, informing me that you are about to dispatch the British brig Urania, Captain 011114TMAI, for Constan. tinople. with a cargo of manufactures of cotton goods only, and re questing to know whether I can grant any document width, by cer tifying the nature of her cargo, may prevent the said vegsel from meeting with detention by the Commander of his Imperial Ma jetty's Beet, should she be brought to by the squadron blockading the Dardanelles. I hasten to inform you, in Answer to the above request, that it being far from the wish of the Imperial Russian Government to obstruct the general commerce with the Dardanelles, the blockade in question is limited to the prevention of vessels entering the Straits with provisions or articles contraband of war only. The cargo of the Urania, if consisting of nothing but manufactures of cotton goods, will therefore meet with no obstruction from the Imperial Russian squadron. even without a certificate from me. Nevertheless, I can have no objection to grant to the ship in question a certificate, addressed to the Commanders of the Imperial Russian ships blockading the Dardanelles, stating the nature and quantity of le cargo ; but in that case every package must bear the seal of this Consulate, and the manifest of the cargo must be attached to my certificate—a duplicate of which manifest I shall require. I think it necessary to mention, that such a certificate from me will not prevent the vessel from being searched by the blockading squadron; but if searched h may facilitate that operation. I remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, G. BENHAUSEN, Russian Consul-General, To Messrs. Longridgo, Barnett. and Hodgson, 13, Sweeting's.alley. • ROYAL BAZAAR. OXFORD-STREET. All the fashionable and curious loungers in the wes tern part of the metropolis crowd to this new and mag nificent establishment, where genius, taste, and elegance hold dominion. The splendid exhibition of works of ait occupies two spacious saloons, one of which contains the " Descent from the Cros , ," modelled from' the great picture by Rubens, and composed of nine figures in real drapery. The other siloon contains seven ancient carvings by Albert Durer, representing the life of the Virgin Mary. The viAtor is also gratified with a sight of the effigies of great persons in past and present times' —Catherine 11. Bonaparte and Marie Louise, William Pitt, Canning, Nelson, IbrahimPacha, and many others are presented large as life. The Descent from the Cross is certainly a very inter esting composition. The group is nearly the same as that in the picture of Sir James Thornhill, .exhibited s-me years since in the Royal Academy. Tne light is judiciously thrown upon the figures, and the whole subkct is admirably managed. The British Diorama, at this place, has four beauti ful views, painted by those celebrated artists Messrs. Stanfield and Roberts. The Like Maggiore, in Italy ; the interior of St. George's Chapel, Windsor; a Ship wreck and Storm ; and the Ruins of Tintern Abbey, by moonlight, are the subjects which the artists have chosen for the exercise . of their talents, and it is but justice to say their efforts are highly honourable to the arcs. The views are presented to the public by means of machinery, and the sensation of a turning saloon is avoided. THE THEATRES. • DRURY-LANE. Licates excellent omedy of John Bull was last night represented. A Mr. Weaxes, from the Edinburgh Theatre, appeared for the first time on these boards, in the character of Dennis Brulgruddery, the facetious landlord of the Red Cow. Ms. WEEKIIB is, in truth, the jolliest of landlords that we hive seen for a long series of years. He possesses a good deal of that broad humour which belongs to the lower class of Irish characters, and he made many of Dennis's sallies tell very effectively. His brogue is sufficiently rich, without being forced or extravagaut, and he exhi-. bited a correct knowledge of the stage business. He was well received. Mr. JONES'S Tom ashtiffleton, and the Lady Caroline Braymore of Mrs. DAVISUN t are too well known to require any extended remark ; they are both exceedingly amusing caricatures of fashionable life. ,Mr. AITICBI4 delivered the sententious speeches of Peregrine with great propriety. but his face and pet son gave us no idea of the hardy adventurer. Mr. Coo Pita played Job Thornberry for the first time. Miss E. Tags supported the interesting part of Mary with modesty and feeling. In the afterpiece of Maiming, Mr.WEEICits again appeared as Looney Madwolier, and in the course of his performance intruuuced two airs, which he sang in a very pleasing , tyle. The bustling eccentricity of Mr. HAWLKY'S Caleb engem drew forth peals of laugh ter. John Lump, in the hands of Mr. SHERWIN, who had previously represented Dan in the comedy, was pro- ductive of much merriment. -This Gentleman is pro gressively improving. The entertainments went gff well. COVENT.GARDIDT. After Lovein a Village, in;tTich Mr. B. TAYLOR made his second appearance. with rather increased suc cess, a little piece, in one Act. called More Blunders Than One, was brought out. As it has only been bor rowed from the Adelphi Theatre, where it was played for many nights with great applause, it is hardly Drees vary todo more than observe,that it excitedusuch laughter, and that Powita, in his original part of Larry Hoologan, played with great spirit. He is quite first rate in Irishmen of a lower class, and he only fails when he attempts such characters as Sir Lucius or Sir Lenox.. The other parts were given to BLANCHARD, Mr. RAYMOND ' Miss HINRY, and Mrs. MOREL GLASGOW THEATRE. Mr. KEAN performed here on Wednesday evening, in conjunction with, and for the benefit of, his son.— Dramatic interest was, in the prospect of such a treat, wound up to the highest pitch, and long before the cur- tain rose the house was crowded to an overflow. The Play, The Fall of Tarquin, w as peculiar, and admirably chosen for effect, as relating to father and son. But it was after KLAN, as Junius Brutus, bad raised himself through his suffering virtues on the overthrow of Tor guilt, that his Roman greatness was to be tried ; and never did we behold such awful execution. Through the gallantry of the son, whose love to a Princess of the' ruined line of Targuin had brought him to commit a treasonable offence, the father was forcOd to become the Judge; and when the stern justice demanded by his country rose in array against the parental struggles of natural affection for his boy, the scene became dread fully great, and called forth those " earthquakes" in the breast, that painful depth of acting, which checked ut terance, and drowned the audience in tears.—Gks.lier. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Captain Rrar4►an Cu►roao was sworn into the command .1 the ship Lady Melville, consigned to Bengal and China. Yesterday evening an Inquest was held at Stabomas's Hospital, on the body of Elizabeth Mears, an old wo man between 70 and 80 years of age, who was knocked down by a gig. She was picked up from beneath the borse's feet, and conveyed to the Hospital, where she died.—Verdict, Accidental Death ; deodand 10s. BOULOGNE, Ocr. 6. In the course of last week three fishing vessels have returned from the coast tt Scotland to Ii ulogne. laden with herrings. which were caught in that quarter, amounting to neatly 60 lasts, and worth, 1 understand, 4 bout dotty thousand francs (1,20014 Tne company are continuing to depart, and houses o lose their tenants. The Ct , luaabine steamer left Ibis harbour on Friday' night for the Thunes. The Rapid, London steamer, is to sail this evening, for the same destination. The number of arrivals from England fell stunt of that of the departures to the number of seventy. There are still in Boulogne gaol eight English debtors, out of thirty-five, two of whom are English women : at the head of the debtors is a man of rank. MANCHESTER MEETING. The following is a more detailed account than we were enabled to give yesterday, of that portion of the proceedings at Manchester which conk place subse quently to the speech Mr. Peel delivered on the occa sion of his own health being drunk. Toast—" May the laws protect the people, and the people re spect the laws." The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the health of the Duke of Wellington, said lie was sure the nation would al ways remember the debt of gratitude it owed to the greate.t General of the age, for undertaking, when re quired by his Sovereign, the important situation he now filled. ° The Duke of Wellington"—three times three. The neat least was— " The British standard, may it ever be the rallying point to pre- serve the libertyand independenct. of the people—three times three. The Cmataaran then proposed—'• His Majesty's Ministers"— Received with the kindest cheering. Mr. PEEL rose—Gentlemen, as the only Member of his Majesty's Goverment now present, I feel it to be my duty to convey their acknowledgments, and to add the assurance that they are deeply sensible of the value of your favourable opinion, for they know that they shall acquire and retain it, not by pursuing what are called popular measures, but by honestly observing that line of conduct which their conscience dictates, as Mi nisters of the Crown. I have had many relations to uphold with this district, and more especially with this particular town. I have co-operated with many of you in times of peril and revolution. I will not revive the recollection of those scenes. The general coucord which now prevails amongst all classes is most gratifying, and forms a just subyct of congratulation. I have co operated with many of you in times of difficulty and distress, but cannot help observing, that those who were the in A strenuous assertors of the laws, and the most detes mined and resolute combatants against vio lence, were the first in the cause of charity. The hands that were clenched with energy to resist the attacks upon property, were open as day when an appeal was matte to benev 'Lefler. When 1 last addressed you I enumerated the advantages of tranquillity ; hut in re terrace to the toas: before the last I must be allowed to say, that if it became necessary to raise the standard of Brrain tor the vindication of the interests or honour of this country, t%at the town of M inchester would serve as an example to the whole nation. The CHAIRMAN then rose to give the.health of the venerable and highly respected father of their distin• guished guest. On his ancient and intimate connexion with that town it was unnecessary to dwell. On his important services to tie country in general it was equally unnecessary to enlarge.. He would therefore say no more than give di The health cit Sir Robert Peel,* which was drank with much enthusiasm. Mr Peat., in giving thanks, said he had already ap• peared twice betore the assembly, but he could not re frain from giving expression to the gratitude which the last toast had excited in his breast. Nothing could be more gratifying to him than to think that his parent was remembered by them with esteem, and tie could assure them that the sentiment was mutual. The attach ment of Sir Robert Peel to the place where he had lived, and by the industry of whose inhabitants he had acquired his fortune, was unabated, and could only end with his lite. The next toast was, " May distinction ever prove the reward of merit"—( Much applause). " The Earl of Liverpool, and better health to him." " The venerable Earl of Eldon." -Tne CHAntactx then said he would offer no apology for the toast he wai about to propose. Far distant might be the day when such an apology should be necessary. He would give a Protestant Ascendancy," ef which the it.ght Hon. Gentleman was one of the most able, most zealous, and persevering supporters. This toast was received in the way we described yes terday, and there then followed the healths of Lord Lyndhurst, Mr. Trafford, Mr. Wm. Peel, Sec. 'tVl 'ednesday morning a verb large sun-fish was caught in the river South Esk, at Montrose, measuring from the tips of the fins six feet, and from the mouth to the tail four feet. Its weight is 2481 b. Fish of this species seldom visit our northern shores. The Corporation of Gravesend have commenced digging fur a foundation for erecting the Pier at the Town Quay. The labourers engaged in this work lately found a half guinea of the date of 1648, and also se veral coins in gold, the impressions on which were not `perceptib!e. They were eagerly purchased at Bs. a pair. An adjourned Court of Burgesses was held at West minster yesterday, for the purpose of swearing in con ' stables, when Mr. John Brooks, of Oxford -street, ob jected to being sworn in as constable, on the ground that he could not conscientiously take the oath. He, however, said he was ready to serve the office. The Court told him he mast be sworn, or be fined. Mr. Brooks, however, left the Office, saying he would resist paying any fine. As Mr. G Wilda PHILLIPS, of Newington, was leaving Covent. Garden Theatre last evening, in the company cf two Ladies, a fellow, a few yards from the Piazza doer, rushed past him, making a violent snatch at his watch ; the chain breaking, the villain decamped with three valuable gold seals, key, ring, &c. A letter from an Officer in the Russian army before Varna, dated on the 17th ult. states, that three days previously the most sanguine expectations were enter tained among the troops that Varna would have stirer rendered, a breach of considerable dimensions having been made in the walls of the fortress. To the sum mons made by a flag of truce, for the surrender of the place, the CAPITAN PACUA replied in haughty terms, that not until the fortress was reduced to a heap of ruins would be surrender. The determination of the Turks to fight to the last is represented as amounting almost to frenzy. Not only was this feeling displayed among the armed men in the garrison, amounting to about 24,000, but the inhabitants, men and women, expressed a hope that the place should be blown up rather than given up. Supplies, however, were begin ning to be wanted at Varna, and such was the vigilance of the Russian Admiral Gam, that it was thought improbable that they could be again thrown into the place. It was fully expected that the Turks would. if they found they must strike, blow up the place. The , operations of the besiegers were conducted vigorously. THE MOAT MOUTH MURDER. MONPJOUTH, OCT. 7.—The apprehension 4.f 11 irrett caused the greaten sensation throughout the town. Soon aftertaelve o'clock, Fuller, the soecial c, nstable, with an assistant, drove to the Town Hall with the prisoner in cu tody. The square in ir sit of the Hall was compAi lamely etnpty, it being the Charter Day for the election if B srongh Officers; but rso sooner was it announced to the Hall where the r 'winos take place that Batten was below, than the assembled spectators rushed in a body to hav e a v i ew o f t h e man, whose name and deeds have been but too lamiliar with the public Par. The Hall was completely cleared, with the exception of the Magistrates and officers of tile Court. The sews was so•in spread, and although it was raining heavily, an immense concourses( persons followed the cupric to the county gaol, where he was temporarily committed f r further examination. Six olcicck was the time appointed for that examina tion, some time previous to which the crowds began to assemble round the jury-room, and considerable di& culty was experienced by the constables in cleating a passage for Barrett, so great was the public cuibrity to haves glimpse of the prisoner. He was brought in about half past six, and was seated at the head of the table, in front of the Coroner. The room was filled to ex cess, and all eyes were directed towards him. He ap peared a healtly, fine young man, Answering the de• scription given of him in the advertisements. He was still without a coat, his shirt sleeves, particul say at the wristbands, very dirty; no neck handherchief, his waist coat of the yellow •plush kind, spotted, bat no maths of blood were discernible on any part of his dress.-- He appeared unmoved at the awfulness of his situation, eyes downcast, occasionally throwing them up, how ever, when any name was called: a slight hectic tineed his cheeks when the inquisition was read over. The Coroner informed him of the verdict again•t him, and his intention of having all the depositions read over in his hearing, and if he had any remark to make, or had a wish to ask any witness a question, they should be sent for; the Town Clerk cautioning him at the same - time most earnestly not to say airy thing which might tend to criminate him,elf. He gave a deep sigh on the constable's producing his clothes, but did not evince the least emotion on the production if the bloody knives.— During the reading of the depositions he stood up in a firm and erect manner, fixing his eyes intensely mi the Town Clerk, and did not betray any internal feeling,. i h this ex ception, that when the husband's and hi, brother's eau. dente was being read over, there was a slight cor,vul sion of the lower lip, accompanied with a dee ; -drawn sigh. The evidence being gone through, he was asked by the Coroner if he had any remark to make? To this he gave no answes, and on its being repeated by the l'own Cies k, he faintly answered 4 , No." He then sat down with apparent exhaustion, which might have been produced by the heat of a crowded room. H's mariner throughout was not that of a guilty man, with the exception of his downcast eyes. His cast of features is rather prepossessing, and a low smile was occasionally discovered. His firmness and self possession were the universal theme of remark. The warrant for his commitment being made out, a post chaise was ordered, in which he was conveyed to the ga .1 to await his trial at the next Assizes. Toe clue to his route was fit st discovered by the late Mayor, James Hardwicke, Esq. on the Tuesday. Haying traces of hill, and believing him to be the man, William Fuller, an active officer, who has distinguished himself on other occasions, was sworn in specially to apprehend him; and the clue first obtained turned out to be the right one, and Fuller regularly traced him at the Callow Gate, Sugwas Ferry,. bye-road leading to Kinton, Ludlow Bridge, Church Stretton, Ellesmere, Shrewsbury, Wier. ham, Chester ; .thence by canal to the Mersey, where he got on board a flat for Liverpool, where he landed but one hour before his capture. It was one of the police of that town, who were on the alert, who appre hended him, silt ng on a crate of wale in Prince's Dock. His being in shirt sleeves at once attracted the attentiou of the officer, and he ( he prisoner) immediately avosved . himself. This was about 12 o'clock on the Friday. It appears his flight was across the timber yard stile, where marks of blood were discoverable. thence up the river side to the neighbourhood of New Weir, only Owe miles from Monmouth, where he passed the Sunday, reaching the Callow gate in the course of the same night, as he lett here the Monday morning. and reached Liverpool, by a circuitous route, on the Friday. He must have walked little short of 58 miles a day, partly barefoot, the remainder in a pair of old shoes he had begged on the road. Great praise is due to Fuller for the active and judi. cious zeal he displayed in tracing him. To this officer, it is understood, he has made a general acknowledg ment of his guilt.

PILCHARD FISIIHRL—SeveraI shoals of fine fish were taken at St. Ives last week, but none have been secured in Mount's Bay. As the weather is favourable, and there are quantities of fish on the coast, there is reason to hoye that catches may yet be made where. the success has been but partial. The drift boats belonging to St. Ins have discontinued fishing for the present ; the men being employed about the seans, and the price of fish being tt o low to repay the expense of going to 'so& The d lying boats in Mount's Bay have taken a quantity of mackarel. • Tuesday se'nnight the Annual Competition of Pipers, Dancers, &c. for prizes given by the Gaelic Society of Perthshire, took place at the top of the North Inch, Perth.
