A variety of stories are as usual abroad ; among the rest, that a Ger man girl, whom the King brought with him, has lain in there, and that he attends her ; but the manner of his being left, would seem to give the lie to this : in the reign of barbarism there is no counting upon anything. The Pope has plagued us sadly : he will not confirm some ecclesiastical appointments of the King. This is the only thing to be ascertained here ; as to other state • ments we cannot judge. Whether he directs prayers for Donna MARIA 11. instead of Don MIGUEL, the Church will of course not let us know. If it be so, it must be expected. that the excellent Cardinal Patriarch will be still further humiliated, as the cause. He is already scarcely seen, nor has he been for many months ; while during the Constitutional Wgime, he was constantly in public. The state of exchange, and the current paper here, and what is worse the ill opinion entertained by English Bankers of Portuguese and Anglo-Portuguese bills, ordi narily accredited, are altogether bringing us into au un comfortable dilemma. Then there are people wanting their money from the public deposit, which it is said Don Al lot-EL has emptied for his expedition, is a great evil. — Whether the latter be the case or not, it is certain that the people do not get their money as they were wont to do. OCT. 11. The KING has not made his appearance this week, and nobody knows where he is. Shooting at Mafra is stated, but this is a mere report. The last packet, which arrived on Wednesday, in less than five days from Falmouth, brought a courier from the Consul-General SAM PA TO, in London, understood to bring despatches from every Court except England and France, but you cannot count upon any information 'beyond the positive arrival of this courier. The paper medium, in which the majority of payments are made, has risen from twenty-five to thirty per cent. discount ! This, and other symptoms, evince some new occurrence to embarrass the present Government. Since the preceding was written, on requiring a few hundreds sterling of paper currency to be discounted, the discount arose to 32 per cent. and the bank which was trying to accommodate, has declared its intention to close. on to-morrow. The cause of this is the entire anticipation by the Mi nisters of anarchy of the revenues of 1830, and the necessity of their encroaching even on the following year! The Treasury is empty, notwithstanding the dreadful .b:each of faith in ordering the officers of the public deposit, to transfer to it the funds intrusted to them in the same manner as paying money into the English Chancery. This will produce a further distress among all the numerous suitors, rich and poor ! The immensity of bilhetes (tickets for official pay, at long dates) will soon prevent their discount at all. For a long time the poor-holders, by discount, and the state of the half pay, hardly received a third of their pay in metal. Three changes are talked of in the Ministry. The infamous Conde de Basto to be actual Prime Minister, instead of the fiction of the Duke. The every-way notorious Joze Accursio des NaVas, is to have the Home Department. The denouncing—Barrata, lately Intendent General of Police, promoted to be Minister of Justice, by which he will have command of the present Intendent ; and thus command every way more violent measures. As none of these men are financial, and all devotees of the Empress Queen, their appointment can answer no rational end ; the fair presumption is, therefore, that they are intended to enforce " voluntary" loans, and carry terror still further throughout the country.— Viva Don Miguel and mi Lor Alberdino !

No less than 10 fish have already been caught by the two establishments down the river. A great deal was said, two years ago, about the singu lar occurrence of a lady blowing out her brains with a pistol That is not, in fast, a mode by which the other sex usually deprive themselves of life. A second occurrence of the same kind has, however, recently taken place. Madame I. of Looviers, who ; for several years was subject to a malady which greatly affected leer spirits, shot herself through the head with a pistol on Wed needs, last (14th of October.) It appears that she had previously made an attempt with another pistol, which lashed in the pan, sad . was found lying by her.

THE NEW MELO-DRAMAS Robbing the minor Theatres of their lawful matter, the barbarians of Covent-garden and Drury-lane, in opposi tion to each other, are once more phvsicking the pablic with two new litclo-Dramas, both as hodge-podge, rbodomontade and silly, as ignorance or the nursery might desire. Unsatisfied with the success of SII A /OPE.% It L. when supported by even the talent of one good heroine. the inronscionable avidity of the Covent-garden mono :c- Users has tempted them once more to roaew those de testable attacks upon taste which have already succeeded in precipitating the English stage into so much disrepute. Without reflecting that the mass are as much influ enced and directed by judges of understanding. as a led talion by its officers, the mis-ssanagers set taste and cri ticism at defiance to conciliate the vulgar ; who, in return, sicken at the fulsome puerilities with which they are glutted to the insult of intellect, till despising the unsubstantial fare, unfit for men, they slight the stage to turn the theatre into a place of impure amuse ment, and riotous lounge. KENI lII.E, PRICE, and others, directing the metropolitan stage, have lon g had enough to surfeit them of the theatre ; insomuch that every other interest in its matters have ceded to the absorbin.r one of emolument . Their recreation is sought beyond its walls ; and if an audience only can he congregated, they care not of what description, or with what offal they are allured. But we, and others, who have not been satiated—with whom the theatre is a ne cessary recreation—zealous for the literary honour of our age and country—and connected with the press, whose duty it is to watch over the interests of society,—we cannot afford thus to be defrauded of our recreation ; nor must we permit mere speculators, abusing an en croached privilege, to cheat posterity of ti sir rights to our labours in this important braneh of literature. The people who love nonsense and melo-drama can be amply provided to their hearts' content in the minor theatres, unjustly confined to such corrupt representa tions. But we, who are not attracted to Covent-Garden and Drury-Lane by the disorders of their abominable saloons—nor to be tickled by those tyros of mongrel music from Bisnoe down to the apprentice LEu—who are not to l) :eared and ranted into terror by fustian tyrants, or pros oked to laughter by the prostration of comic art in a punning buffoon—personating the eternal " Niois," are, on the contrary, proud to be the warm and exclusive admirers of legitimate Tragedy and Comedy. In a theatre, we seek food for the mind; but even the large houses grudge to aliment our appetite with the most scanty crumbs. Dedicated to spurious purposes, the Proprietors will neither cultivate the gennine themselves, or permit others to infringe upon what has been so igno rantly and so injuriously constituted their exclusive right. —Now, the mischief inflicted on taste and letters by this selfish conduct is intimately understood by ma nagers ; who, nevertheless, prefer sacrificing to their own mistaken cupidity, rather than improve the art, by deferring to judicious opinion. CII Altr. Es mnT. e. would scorn to exhibit in a mclo-drama ; and, would, perhaps. rather forego every pecuniary advantage than permit his daughter to degrade her talents in any of these pieces of counterfeit tragies. And yet the draff is still poured into the trough, because its detestable impurity draws the swinish herd. When we see respectable actors constrained, for the amusement of the shallow vulgar, to figure in those nen semis absurdities, we neither can withhold our commi seration for them, or restmin our resentment against those monopolizing managers, more arbitrary and uncon scionable than the tyrants of their own melo-dramas. These trifling people would impose on us the humiliating belief that public judgment is on the retrograde, and can now only be satisfied with a dramatic garbage, which our fathers of the . last age would have rejected with loarhing and contempt. But the contrary is truth ; the people have improved in judgment; while our theatre, where it has not receded, hes remained disgracefully eta tionary. Good authors have ceased to write for it ; and such as stoop to pick up its fallen hays do it with an apparent notion that theatrical audiences are composed of fools, alike indifferent to poetry and sense. At least, such offerings as are set before us, under favour of Messrs. Mouros and Reesoens are uniformly de void of beth—a circumstance which, added to the per usal of their own mediocrity, persuades us to believe that any nonsense—so that it be mawkish—has cleini to all the sympathy of these most respectable, and most infal lible connoisseurs and guardians of British taste—Good Loan deliver us! It is very high time, however, that these critical old stagers should take to their prayers, and leave the pabiic to think for themselves. What a degradation of the art is it not, that the young candidates for dramatic honours should be constrained to abide the private decisions of these laurelled princes of the namby-pamly ? Anal what presumption in these capable superannuated gentlemen to play judge for the whole British Empire—present and to come ? The truth is, until the fate of dramatic writers he rescued front the tyrenny of these theatrical juntas, the stage must continue to decline. Mr. Puler, the Transatlantic, is a very lively gentleman; Mr. Kivu Biz is an agree able performer ; and, what is better, they have both the merit of possessing L,.oney to pay :or patents. Moirros and Re veoens have, in their time, set up for wits; and the:re four persons, we dare say, make very pleasant ginner (-:!!ipa:iy. But tleat they should be the arbiters of dramatic destinies, anal decide what names are to live anal what ago not—tbey—witose memories are doomed to perish the instant that themselves have ceased " to fret and fume tleie hoar upon the stage"—is a presumptuous pretension, as absurd as it is disgraceful to letters, and unjust to posterity. For the encouragement and protection of the art, a Society of Litterati should tie formed, composed of, at least, twelve competent persene, who should invite stage-writers to submit their mane scripts to the judgment of themselves in periodical com mittee,—which, were it judged worthy of the public, should be collectively recommended to nuungers, who could scarcely venture to refuse a production where merits were thus indubitably attested. Till something of this kind is effected, we must still be insulted with that wretched stuff, so disgusting to a sensible audience, with which they persevere to abuse us at Covent-Garden and Drury-Lane. The Dry'', has his Sabbath—and so has the Fleet street Miguelite. To-morrow, if not cooled at the bad news of Milrtas running taper with his banker, he will be at his dirty work spin. Bytimes to. morrow we shall be ready with our whip and spectacles. Madame de St. Elme, who has acquired some celebrity under the name of La Contemporaine, has changed the plan of her travels in Egypt. Having been unsuccossful in obtaining access into the principal harems of that coun try, solely because it was known that it was her intention to divulge the mysteries of those Mahometan sanctuaries, she was on the point of quitting the country altogether, when the arrival of letters from Europe determined her to set out on a journey to Upper Egypt.
