iviASCii/tR A Dtb i c e masquerade last nd nit . at the Argyll Roots; was Ott, gen- Ktlf • J well attended. Ma s ks, after the Theatres closed, v ,, N , to art we in numbers, and gave 'promise tea cheerful night and ;;;:, pleasantry. There was a general disposition in those who q ued in character to be pleased, and to administer ev e rythi ng %ft „ th eir power to the harthony al a i vivacity of the evening. There , t , s r excellent Paul Pry, who was evidently an old " intrud er ," • „ bz knew the secrets of many present, and convinced them of his b o oltdge, without exciting ill-humour or being offensive. A 80. ofiff swinered through the rooms for a short tithe, but soon dis. Lc ored cm the approach of a wet Quaker, who, in a pugilistic g aak:e, chewed that he " was up td a thing or two, and would 30 ,1 no nonsense." There were several noisy Chelsea-read sailors, 3 7.rerCillY who had evidently been a martyr to the gout, and a ec Paul, who was very anxious to administer to the spiritual : ,mtorts of three or fuur pretty black and bine-eyed Nuns, who were under the special and pions care of a Mother Abbess,— latter group was annoyed and constantly " kept moving," by some troublesome watchmen.—The (kipper was plentiful and sell served, and the wines were excellent. The sparkling Cham ;igne, .erved by Mr. Wright, who, as usual, attended to that di- %out) of the Commissariat generally allotted to Mucks*, was in ~t.oulanCe, and of an excellent and ethilarating.quality. It soon ,orelled the CARIII of the phlegmatic part of the company, and *MI made those in dominos cheerful and witty. About two o'clock' the muCning fun and humour were at their height, and the scene : angether was distinguished by vivacity and animation. Dancing .rd singing were enjoyed by various parties, who entered into the Ise svirit of masquerading. II Signor Antonio exhibited his stir. ; risi,,v performances on the sl..ck rope, aid the two Swiss dancers o n stilts were, equally successful it: their •endeavourg to please ; .fal, front the good humour that prevailed, this species of amuse refft is likely won to attain the character which it maintained in Or masquerading days of the late celebrated Mrs. Comely..

Letters, dated Dec. 19, from POrt-au-Prince, by way rd Havre, mention no fact of public interest, except that the discontent among the natives at the subserviency to France was on the increase, particularly in the northern Fart of the island. Accounts from Havannah to the Ist of January, ew that the Colombian expedition known to be in ;.e: , aration at Carthagena, had excited some apprehen- there. The Governor had at his disrsal too .cge a laud force to fear any attack, should it really e place; but the consequences of a blockade were tegarded with alarm, and the slave population were kasen to be favourable to any change of masters by thich their condition was likely to be improved.

Yesterday, a Meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of Sr. Gies Without, Cripplegate, was held, to receive the Report of the Tithe Committee, as to the result of their offer to the Vicar, Mr. Holmes, of the sum of 18001. per annum, in lieu of Tithes. The Meting was numerously attended, and the Committee repor ed, that they had received the follow ing letter from the Vicar : " Bloornsbory-place, January 26, 1526. "Dean Sta—Ansiotta as I certainly am to agree with my parishioners, and to prevent the good understanding that has so long subsisted between them and me front being interrupted, I regret it is not in my power to accede to the offer made to me of .Elsoo per annum, in lieu of Tithes. 4 With a view, however, to prevent litigation, I am willing to accept a clear and net sum of £2lOO per annum, to commence from Christmas last, and not to be liable to any taxes, rates, or other deductions whosoever ; and I should hope the Patrons of the Living will come into such an arrangement, and will concur in 'an application to Parliament to confirm it. " 1 am, dear Sir, your's very faithfully, " WILLIAM HOLMES." The Committee delegated two Geotlemen to wait on the Vicar, to know whether he would make any altera tions in the terms, and to ascertain what were the opinions of the Patrorrs on the subject? when he de *lared that he would not take the proffered sum of 18001. and they afterwards received a note from him, stating, that the Patrons of the Living would not give their consent to the sum proposed by the pariah, being decidedly of opinion that 21001. was the least that could be reasonably accepted. After some pointed remarks from Mr. JONES, the Report was agreed to. Mr. Alderman Woon said, be was quite surprised at the refusal of the Rector to take the sum offered. He recommended the Meeting to petition Parliament. A Resolution was proposed, that the Committee should prepare a Petition to Parliament. After an exceedingly warns discussion, in which great irritation was manifested by the parishioners, the Resolution for a Petition to Parliament was carried unanimously. Sir THOMAS and Lady Fattaisaros entertained a party of friend. to dinner yesterday. - Active preparations have at length commenced for to►ing down the Government House on the Parade, at Portsmouth. Lord Howicx, eldest 'on of Earl GlitY, has an nounced his intention of offering himself to sucerPti the late Mr. BILAMDLIS4, in the representation of the county of Northumberland. There are no less than seven recruiting parties at this time in Brighton. We have already mentioned the arrival at Ports mouth of the 36th Regiment, from the lonian Islands, antler the command of Major Beowse. Ina gale, a beautiful grey Arabian stallion, of uncommon size, strength, and beauty, Which was to be brought for his Magary, was lost. Ily advice' from Burntray of the 16;h of September, the Simpson, the Glorioso, the Bombay Castle, and Caledonia, had been taken up foe an expedition to Cinch, at 45 rupees per ton a month. The Simpson was expected to return to Bombay the end of October, and load fOr London. The Calcutta was to sail from Bombay for Liverpool the scl of October. Letters from Guatemala, dared the 18th November, announce the appointment of a Minister from Guatemala to this count; y. The letter: in town from Gibraltar, which are to the 24th January, represent the stateof Spaia to be wretched, and the commercial failures •ery extensive. Letters from Copenhagen of the 10th January, also notice that mercantile embarrassments are severely felt in that capital, and other parts of Denmai k. It is stated in letters from Sweden, that the Treaty of Commerce concluded between Russia and Sweden in 1817, which, according to Art. 16. would have ceased on the Ist of January. 1826, remains in full force, by mutual consent of his Impetial Majesty and the King of Sweden and Norway. The letters last received from Mexico, reiterate the accounts of the alarm caused in the Republic by the large purchases of land made by the English Capitalist 4, which a r pears to have had its origin in the immense track of land purchased by Mr. BARINP. The Mexicans appear to think that the possession of such tra:ks of territory would give the English nation too great an interest and pr:ponderance in the affairs of the Govern ment. It is said the Legislature had determined to pass a Bill prohibiting the purchase of land, exceeding a certain extent, by foreigners. Friday evening, the Members of the Royal Institu tion held their first weekly meeting, or mameraszione, at their spa cious house in Albema' le-street, which was brilliantly lighted up for the occasion. About se►enty Gentleman attended, amongst whom were several pens= of rank, and many distinguished • scientific characters. Yesterday, his Excellency Count LUDOLP, Envoy Extraordinary, 4nd Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the King of Names, jointly with Mr. N. M. ROTZACIIUM, and worn pastied by Mr. Gnaw= Gems Notary Public, cancelled and deposited in the Bank of Englan d . the amount of £16,800 in Spc -1 dal Bonds of the said Loan, being the first half of the sum flied for the Redemption of Bonds in the year 1626, including the ' saving of Interest on the 4118,500 deposited to the in August last. It appears by the balance-sheet of the Huddersfield bank (Mews. Domini), that there will be a dividend of about l2s. in the pound for the creditors. Anti-Slavery Meetings were held at Bath, on Fri day, at which Resolutions and a Petition in favour of emancipation were adopted unanimously ; and at Bris tol and Lewes on Wednesday. Wednesday night, as the North mail was proceeding from Preston to L incaster, it was overturned near Bar ' ton Lodge, when the coachman, and two outside passen gers, were much injured ; a clergyman, who was in side, bad his collar-bone broken. The house of Mr. Challen, grocer, Petworth, was lately robbed of 40W.

Major-General AI-EXAM/MIR Wnoor ORD arrived at Malta the Ist of December, in the Prince Regent Go. veinment schooner, from Naples, %it!) his family and suite; and the cerem .ny of swearing him in as Lieute nant-G.ivernor of those possession., in the absence of his Excellency the Marquis of HASTINGS, took place at the Government Palace, at the conclusion of which the usual salutes were fired. B.:rbadoes Papers to the 31st e►f December, contain a long address delivered by the Legislative Council of Tobago, to the Governor, Sir FREDERICK ROEINSON, *herein the proposed reforms of the slave laws are ani madverted on with much boldness and ability. It ap pear:di-it the proportion of slaves in t• e island of T - bago is about fifty• six to one; being only two bundled and fi:ty white colonists, and f usrteen thousand Mayes. This circumstance is adduced in the address of the Le- gislative Cons.cit, to shew that it i, attended with more danger there than in other islands, to make any relaxa tion of the slave-laws. A remonstrance has he-n pre sented by the House of General Assembly of the same island, against the alterations in the currency. The folhvving is an extract of a letter from. the , Agent to Lloyd's at Mexico, dated DzcemberlV: " We have the honour to inform you, that having waited on the Minister of Finance, with his Majesty s Consul-General, to apply for an early reinstating of the light-house in the Castle of San Juan de Ulloa, we were informed that orders had been given for the pur pose, and that in a few weeks an offic , al communica tion would be made to us on the subject by General LIMA. When the bombardment began, the whole of the excellent apparatus was taken down and preserved, so that it can immediately be refitted. The lights will consist, as before, of four revolving lamps. It is expected that in a few weeks the port of Alvarado will be wholly closed to foreign commerce." RUSSIAN COMAIRRCIL—Letters from St. Petersburgh of the Bth January say, that towards the end of Novem ber a caravan of 2042 camels lett the barter market of Troisk, for Bucaria, with merchandize to the amount of 1,712,753 rtibles. A caravan from Khina, of 200 camels, passed - the frontiers on the 24th of November, but, on account of the badness of the toads, was obliged to stop at the fortress of Sorotochick. On the '26th of the same month, four caravans left tt:e barter market of Petropaulofsk, consisting of 550 camels. These were respectively for Bucaria, the Kokatit, the Tashkeens, and the Steppe of the Kirghises. , , , , We perceive in the new appointmenti ttitite councils of the Emperor of BRAZIL, the 'came of Marshal BRANT, late Envoy from his Impetial Majesty to this country. Marshal Bagtwr is a shrewd clever min. He hss twice visited Europe, and seen somewhat of European society and pi inciples. If, as far as lies with him, he shal be found involving his mater in the Buelios Ayrean war, he will hardly realize the expectations which those who know him here, have formed of him. A letter from Mexico, dated the 16th of Dee. states, that since the fall of the castle of San Juan d'Ulloa, the Government are taking measures for seducing the mi. litary establishment, which there can be no occa,ion now to keep up to its present scale. The market is over. done with goods, and will remain so, it is feared, 'for some time. The mining districts are all very busy, which causes a good deal of money to circulate. Some of the mines are now beginning to pr •dtice. A recent financial statement of the Government of Buenos Ayres, after stating the increase of the Republic for the three quarters ending 1825. states the balance then remaining in the Treasury at 2,759 659 dollars, lexclusive of 255,160 due from the house of BARING. The total amount of the stoppages in Glasgow, is said to be from one hundred and ten to one hundred and twenty thousand pounds ; and of that amount there are, it is calculated, from seventy to 'eighty thousand pounds of assets to meet the claims. CORK Laws.—Meetings to petition for an alteration in the Corn Laws, are spreading in the manufacturing districts. In consequence of a requisition, signed by the principal inhabitants of the Township of Lees, in the parish of Ashton-under-Line, and addressed to the Constables, a numerous and respectable meeting was held on Wednesday last, at the Swan Inn, in that place; when a set ies of aesolutinns, declaratory of the injurious ' effects of the Ares. nt Coin Laws upon the manufac. turing interests of the country, and calling upon the Legislature for a revision of them, were arced to. Petitions, founded on the resolutions, were ordered to be presented to both Houses,of Parliament. In the Insolvent Debtors' Court, yesterday, James Coale was ineffectually opposed by Mr. Lutwyche, of Snow-hill, who held a bill for 201. accepted by the in solvent. Mr. Lutwyche admitted that he had visited Cattle in prison, and endeavoured to obtain a prefetence, which is an offence against the statute, and suhj cts the offender, if the case is pronounced frivolous, to the costs of opposition. The circumstances, however, did not fully bear out the enforcement of the penalty, but the Insolvent was discharged. A dreadful accident occurred on Monday se'unight, at the factory of Messrs. Edward and Wen. Rolling, in Bridge-street, Little Bolton, to Elizabeth Kenworth, a child only eight years and eight months old. 'I he gill had been engaged rather more than a week in the factory ; and on Monday morning she was putting some rovings into the creel, when her clothes were caught by tne shaft, which was not boxed off, or pro- . teem!, as it ought to have been, and she was instantly twisted up to the ci eel, with such amazing velocity, that her head was entiiely separated from her body. When the accident was discovered, the headless and bleeding trunk was seen revolving, at a most Is ightful speed, with the shaft and the engine was obliged to be stopped before it could be extricated. .Mr. Langford, of the Castle Brew. y, Lewes, was robbed of his watch and 235. yesterday se'nni.:ht, by three footpath, when on his mut* from Brighton. 1.1:r•L: r" --; " -- "VRE•444AWQ.4. -.!•!,b ypsyg-f.4 , meat • k 6- • • . • • • • •• 71 8111 r77 l • .111 , • 7 "111i4 Majesty's ship Tamil, Caplan Sir San Pisainollai4 Z• IP - gild C.D. arrived no Monday trona Gibraltar, and Peneeeded tk Motherliank to perform quarantine.
