The KING returned to the Royal Lodge at a little be-' fore six o'clock, and entertained a select part of the Noblemen holding official situations in the Royal Household, at dinner. The weather being so very unfavourable this morning, his MAJESTY did not attend Divine Service at his Pri vate Chapel ; and from the same cause her Royal High ness the Princess AUGUSTA was prevented attending the Parish Church.

GREENOCK, OCT. S.—A melancholy shipwreck occurred in Cas tletown bay, Isle of Man, in a dreadful gale about two o'zlock on Wednesday afternoon. From the report of Captain OMAN, of the Majestic steam-packet, which was on her passage from hence to Liverpool, we learn that the vessel was the Reynolds, of about 200 tons, and hound from Liverpool for Demerara. Before she struck en the sunken rocks of Castletown Bay, she was seen on her broad side from Castle Rushen, and the crew, ten in number, clinging to her. In despair they took to their boat, but were soon swamped, and all on board perished: . No assistance could be given from the shore, nor was the Majestic able to render any. The brig soon went to pieces on the rocks. Foal SMOUTH, OCTOBER 9.—The Atlas, for Madeira and Bengal ; and the Charlotte, for Bombay direct, have put into this port with contrary wind:.

COPENHAGEN, SEPTEMBER Its. The following is the result of the General Meeting of the Asiatic Company, held o►l the 23d of this month. 1. A letter from some Jewish proprietors was read,who protested against the meeting, because it was their New Year's Day, and they could not attend. No notice was taken of this protest. 2. It was stated, that of the 950 bonds, at 1,000 Dutch florins which constitute the Dutch debt, 700 had been bought in by the Company ; that the holders of the other 250 wished to retain them at 4 per cent. interest, instead of 6 per cent. which has hitherto been paid. Nothing was stated respecting the 180,000 dollars de posited in 1815, with the Dutch Government in Batavia. 3. It was resolved not to undertake any new expedition (the last having been attended with considerable loss) till more favourable circumstances should arise. The claim of the Company on the English Govern ment, for the loss sustained at the taking of Serampore, was stated at 3;338,162 mix dollars.—Hansburgh Paper. Letters from Scala Nuova, say that the troops which were at the foot of Mount Mycale, at the Cape called by the Turks Dib Bournou, have wholly deserted. Part of them, however, have returned to Scala Nuova. Thus this army, which had hastene d from the remotest parts of Natolia to ravage Samos, has vanished. Odysseus is not gone to the Morea, but to Salona, with a sum which he has received from the Provisional Government of Greece, to form a camp in that country, in order to oppose the Mussultnans force that may ad vance on that side. It was the intrepid Canaris who, in the little channel, set fire to the frigate, the corvette, and two brigs. The European Naval Officers are asto nished at the courage and boldness of the Greek mariners. GLASGOW COTTON•SPININERS.—The cotton-spinners still hold out and seem determined to persevere in the same course. So strong is the system of terror, as we ate informed, established over the minds of those asso ciated together, that no individual of the number dare be seen speaking to any of the clerks and other superior servants in the employ cf their former masters. This day they are to have a public meeting on the Green, for what purpose we have not heard. People are rushing from all - patts to the spot this forenoon, and we are much afraid that such assemblies will ultimately end in mischief. Our Reporter is afraid to go near them, as last day he made the attempt he was threatened to be stones!.

WEST INDIA SLAVERY. LETTER V. TO Tun EI)(TO1t TIIE STAR. SIR—ANGL.u.s will excuse me for remarking that the more carefully I exa•nine his criticisms on the (, uarteda Review, the more I am compelled to consider him a, involved in one of these two alternatives—either that he does net understand his subjects—or that, nudes stand ing it, he thinks it expedient to perplex the question. • The leading argument in the Review appears to me to be an extremely simple one,—the staple production of the West Indies is sugar. Sugar is cultivated there by means of slave-labour, and if the state of slave:)• were abolished without the substitution of other certain means of cultivation, the Proprietor of steam. might be exposed to the most ruinous consequeaces.—lf it could be-shewn that the only effect of the emancipation of the Slaves would be to furnish the Proprietor with free labourers to be paid by hire, instead of Slaves to be sustained at the master's.expense, themselves and their families, in sickness and in health, in infancy and in age,—in such a case, the only demonstration of injury would be on the side of a master objecting to so bene ficial a change. The simple argument, therefore, of the Review is this—and ANGLUS c.rnnot but compreheied it, that it is inevitable that a considerable time mitst elapse helot e this substiturien of free labourers for Slaves can be practically effected : that certain progressive changes, which are described by the Reviewer, may ultimately produce this desirable effect ;—and that if the course of these progressive and natural changes be accelerated by direct legislation,—that is, in other words, if Slavery he abolished before free labourers, willing and able to work, are forthcoming at the call of the Proprietor of Sugar Estates,—a claim will exist en the part of the Proprietor, for compensation, in proportion to the rate of loss at king from the acceleration wita which those changes have been brought on. The practical question then turns on the fact, whether such facilities of flee labour do at present exist? The Review expresses no scepticism as to the possibility of such a substitution at a future period, but avows its entire ignerance of any precedent, sufficiently direct to :justify the assertion thatit has ever, as yet, been success fully made in the West Indies. ANGLUS says, " if we look round the West Indies, " we shall find many thousands of emancipated Slaves " and their descendants, toiling. industriously, accumu " letting property, acquiring knowledse, fulfilling the " relative duties of life, rising into moral destine " tion, and striving manfully and perseveringly, but 66 submissively, against the civil and political evils " which tend to crush their efforts ;" and then he pro ceeds with this sentence, " 6 Oh, but,' says the Reviewer, they will not cultivate sugar collectively.' "—My ob servation on this is, that the Reviewer says no such thing ; but if he did, of what practical value would all these high moral qualifications be to the planter, who, having lost the services of his slave, is seeking the ser vices of a free labourer ? Lean upon ANGLUS to inform the Public (for he may be satisfied that these letters will sooner or later be read, and compared, and examined) where exist these " many thousands of emancipated '" slaves and their descendants"? How many acres of ,land do they cultivate?—how many hours in the day , do they work in their fields?—how many days do they labour in the year?—what is the result of their proJuc tive industry in agricultural labour, either in wages or in crops, having an exchangeable value in Europe, and particularly in sugar? A clear detailed statement on such points as these is precisely the sett of information whiz]) the Reviewer considers as so valuable, and which would, if supplied with accuracy and good faith, give such inestimable advantage to the side of the question for which Ateoaus is retained, in comparison %side that which can be derived from declamation unsupported by detail. ANGLUS supposes the case of a sugar estate in Jamaica, cultivated by flee Negroes in small farms, the canes grown on which are to be manufactured in the Sugar-works retained in the hands of the Proprie tor of the estate: and he asks the Reviewer, why should not such a plan succeed? But he must be aware that the question is• not a hypothetical one (whether with relation to that or to any other system) but a practical one ;—has such a plan ever succeeded in .Jamaica or any other West India Island ?—And is it not desirable to have something more than hypothesis for your basis, when you propose to remove, by the legislation of an hour, a system which has existed for centuries? But then ANGLUS triumphantly informs the Re viewer, that in the East Indies, sugar has for many years past been produced by hired labour, and that con sequently, his argument as to the present inefficiency of hired labour for time purpose of sugar cultivation in the West Indies is utterly absurd and irrelevant. Now, I would beg to inquire what possible bearing can the mode of manufacturing sugar in Java or in the East Indies, by hired labour, have on the question of Slavery in the West Indies, that would not equally apply if sugar were raised in the West Indies by the means of fi ee Blacks? The question, therefore, of East India sugar is at least a compound one, and ought not to be introduced as a Main argument into an inquiry as to the best means of dealing with West India slavery. It is a question which could, as I have already said, be as conveniently entertained if the West ladia slaves were emancipated, or had been so a century ago. It is one of pare political economy. If it can be demonstrated that the English consumer can buy his sugar cheaper from the East than from the West Indian, it may be a reason for abolishing any mono poly which the West Indian may enjoy, provided Mat no counter-considerations interpose to limit (lie application of a sound general principle. The same observation would apply strictly to the Corn question, and may be stated in exactly the same words. If it can be demon strated that the English consumer can buy his corn cheaper from the foreign than from the domestic pro ducer, it may be a reason for abolishing any monopoly which the domestic producer (that is, the British farmer,) may enjoy, provided that no counter-considerations inter pose to limit the application of a sound general principle. But A Noeusis well awate that the counter-considerations in both these instances are so numerous and important as to requite the must minute and extensive separate ex amination. But v hat real argument is there in the whole doctrine of sletraus on this point ? Has hesuc ceeded in shewing that the Reviewers absurd in doubting the immediate efficacy of bee 1 tbour in the West Indies, because free labour produces sugar in the East Indies or in Java. Is he not aware that to prove his argument, lie must shew that the impulses which influence productive industry in those respective countries aec similar, whether arising from local laws and usages, the institution of castes, or, above all, from equal density of population ? In Cole btooke's " Bengal Husbandry' (writtea Mt, ant% fFrit p r•nte I at 18C4), page 131, the author says, " Though we admit the fact that Slaves may be " found in Bengal among the labourers in husbandry, " yet in most Provinces, none but freemen arc ern " ployed in the business of agriculture. The price of " their daily labour, when I.aid in money, may be " justly estimated at little more than one ana sicca, t , hut less than twopence sterling :" and he thinks that the wages, when paid in gra;n, do not, on the average, exceed one penny halfpenny, the allowance to a 4 . strong labourer" being not more than one ana. —ls A NGLUS prepared to show that this estimate is no longer applicable? or is he prepared to contend, that if the Negro Slaves in the West Indies were emancipated, and the Indian mode of cultivating sugar introduced, tine free Negro-could be induced to labour with a fair rate of exertion, for the.wages of twopence or a perm,- halfpenny sterling per day the " liritish and Colo • nial Weekly Register," of the 12th June, 1824, (a paper devoted to the objects of the Abolitionists)! find, under the head of Hayti, "The mean pr ice of daily labour, men, " now'', and children, is estimated at the lowest by the " a niter in the Propagateur at one franc fifty cents, or " one shilling and threepence per hea..l."—ln the 18th Session of the American Convention for promoting the Abolition of Slavery, in October, 1823, it was reported that " The wages of labour in the Haytian sea ports is " one dollar per day."—Thus it appears that the wages of labour in Hayti i, in the proportion of at least seven to one higher than in the East Indies ; and what analogy can be alkw able under such different circumstances, the result or such totally different states of being? or what c in be a stronger proof, with respect to the comparative question of free and slave labour in the West Indies at this monient e than the Proclamation of the President of Hayti (alluded to by the Reviewer) against the smug gling of sugar into Hayti,—that is, against the intro &Kum, of sugar made by slaves, into a country where sugar is rained by freemen ? A NCLUS objects to a presumed opinion of the Re viewer, that the cultivation of the Sugar-cane must of necessity be co//ectivety Performed in order to be suc cessful. Supposing that opinion to be incorrect, how does its inaccuracy bear upon the question of free la bour?—lf the cultivation of sugar could be performed individually by free labourers, so as to produce a re munerating profit to the Proprietor, the mete mecha nism of the process would be a matter of the slightest possible importance. The Reviewer has stated that he is not aware of the successful cultivation of Sugar hav ing been carried on in the West Indies by the means of free labourers.—Can ANOLUS refer (with sufficient de tail to enable the public to judge) to any case which will spew that the opinion of the Reviewer on that point is incorrect ?-1 remain, &c. &c. &c. VINDEX. SP6RTIA'G lATELLIG PEDESTRIANISM. The Match from Ilyde Park to the 41th mile-stone, between Reading and Strathfieldsaye, on the Basin gstoke-rbati, and hack again. computed at something under eighty miles, was undertaken by Mr. Jenkinson, the pedestrian, at four o'clock on Wednesday morning, choosing the nearest track to the 44th mile stone, which is. however, a wooden one. lie took the Oakingham-road, and when within three miles of Reading, be turned sharp to the left, guided by his umpire through Shinfield, saving nearly Ave milts by thin route. lie performed this distance in ten hours, the weather being much against him ; and be made his first stop, on his return, at Oakingkam, am! reached Bracknell (twenty-eight miles from Lon don) at ten o'clock at night. Ile proceeded through a tremendous rain to Saints, where he remained dead beaten, only sixteen miles from his journey's end, at twelve o'clock, when he took port-chaise for 7,0nc0;.. It was generally supposed that he was beaten by tha weather, and be was hacked for double the present stake, 200 sove reigns, to go the above distance within fourteen days, at which period he cannot anticipate better weather. Captain Smith, of Cheam, Berke, was his guide and umpire. FORTY-EIGHT MILES IN NINE HOURS. Mr. West, the pedestrian, backed himself to go front the top of Sloane-street to the Buckinghamshire foot of Maidenhead-Bridge, and back to half a mile on the London side of Hammersmith. The start took place after tke clock had struck twelve on Thursday night, for a wager of one hundred sovereigns, and twenty more that it was done in twenty minutes within the given time. The pedestrian reached Slough (twenty miles) in three hours, and touched half the distance in four hours and ten minutes. He returned back to the Half-way-house on the Maidenhead side of Coinbrook, ate a hearty breakfast, and left himself somethin.t less than eighteen miles in four hours. He did the first task with cleven minutes to spare, and of course lost the second. BOXING. The following is an accurate list of the fights to come : Oct. 12.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, OCT. It. There was only a moderate arrival of all sorts of Grain last week. This morning the fresh supplies of all sorts of Corn ate again inconsiderable. The Wheat trade commenced brisk, and our millers gave an advance of 2s. per quarter on the best parcels, and all such were soon .old; but the other qualities did not partake t f this improvement, and the trade has become inure slack than at the commencement. Barley is farther advanced 2s. to 3s. per quarter. :11.1 1 .t is 4s. per quarter higher. Beans command attention at 2s. to to. per quarter advance. Boiling Peaa remain much as last quotations. Grey Peas are rather higher.
