DETENTION OF THE SHIP LONACH. • LETTER OF CAPTAIN NOAKS TO "THE TINIES." Sra,—As you have, in the leading article of your paper of yes sudsy, most unjustly traduced my character, I think the least you can dmieto offer me sufficient space to explain my conduct, and to state that thrielter of the 13th instant, signed by the owner of the ship Lomb and myself, neither contains, nor was intended to con tain, a contradiction of any one fact detailed in my letter to the Secretary of Lloyd's of she 25th June laii, 'off the Stan, relative to the boarding and detention of the ship by the commanding officer and a detachment from a Portuguese frigate cruising off the bleed of Terceira. Being called upon to de so, I substantiated those facts at the Admiralty st.a personal interview, and further confirmed them by l aft - enact from my log ; and the owner of the Louth having com municated with the agent here of the defied° Portuguese Govern ment, I was requested to sign such letter of the 13th, not in contra diction of my former letter, to which I always have and still du adhere, but in consequence of misrepresentations stated to have been made relative to the conduct of the Portuguese officers and people who boarded the Lamb, particularly that personal indignity bad been offered to the British lag, beyond the an of hauling it down, and other conduct personally offensive to myself, all of which in justice I felt myself bound to declare, and I now repeat, is untrue. It will net, I suppose, be contended, that it belonged to the owner of the Lomeli or myself to redress the affront to our lag, nor 1111111 I compe tent to determine the question of the legality of the seizure and detention of the ship, against which I considered it to be my dotty to protest. I have no interest whatever in the ship, having taken dm command of her upon an emergency, in consequence of the illness of the Captain, when on the point of sailing on the out ward voyage; but I am at a loss to understand upon what ground the owner is to be condemned for seeking redress of the de farm Portuguese Government, and accepting compensation of that Go vernment, if such be the fact, which is not within my knowledge, for the loss which I consider be actually sustained by the detention of his ship. I am, Sir, your humble servant, London, July 29. EDWARD NOAKS. LONACH. We have seen in the Courier of the 27th inst. an racial letter dated from the Admiralty on the 27th inst. communi cating to the public a statement, or declaration, or letter, for we really are at a loss to know under what denomination to class it correctly--signed by W. Drisall, owner, and Edward Noska, commander of the Lonach. The object of this publication. as anomalous in its character as it is unsatisfactory in its contents, is to create an impression on the public mind that the statements hitherto made, and first published on the authority of a letter dated on board that vessel, and bearing interma evidence of having been written by the Commander himself, or some other Officer who had access to the ship's log, were false—but without venturing to support each an insinuation—for it is palpably nothing more—by an appeal to facts—by an honest, unvarnished, and unprbled statement of facts. It endeavours to confound by mysticism what it is impossible to deny with truth. It talks of the politeness forsooth of the Portuguese ofilr.ers, as if politeness could gild the depravity of the act—it pretends to say that no insult was offered to the British flag or British nation, and that they the said owner and the said commander are perfectly satisfied with the treatment they have experienced. That they are perfectly satisfied is a point we do not presume to gentian ; indeed the publication before us would alone serve to convince us, as it must convince all others who are two degrees removed from idiotism, that those gentlemen have abundant grounds for being satisfied—even without the golden compensation we were taught to believe Lords Melville and Aberdeen had obtained for than from the Portuguese agent in London ; but however solid the satisfaction of these gentlemen may be, the public, who have at kast an equal claim to satisfaction, will net be so easily contented at, like the slily gulls, to confound the froth with the substance—the shadow with the reality ; to take lame User. don for solid proof, or equivocation for evidence. We therefore beg leave to suggest a few not unimportant questions which should be early and honestly answered, without equivocation, restrvadon, falsehood, or disguise of any sort, and may serve to put the public in possession of the true bearings of the case, and how far Captain Noah.' mention, that no insult was offered to the British lag, is borne out by facts. 1. By whom was the letter dated on board the Loasch, of Ply. mouth, on the 25th of June last, written? and bow far are the dates and facts contained in that letter at variance or in accordance with the entries made in the ship's lug on the 13th day of June and the following days ? IL Has. or has not, any attempt been made, or attempted to be made to alter the coteries made at the time in that log, so as to adapt them the more conveniently to a change of circumstances subsequent Is tali said 13th day of June last ? 5. Was or •was not the Louth twenty miles at least to leeward of Aosta, and steering as straight a course for England as the direction of the wind world permit at the time of being boarded by a band of armed marines, and compelled to alter her course in order toga tip to the Officer commanding the blockading squadron 1. Had or bad not the Commander of the Lonach previous ►nowledge of the existence of the blockade, or was he warned at his peril to approach the island ?, 5. Is it or is it not customary to board or detain vessels passing merely in sight of a blockaded port or island—or is it customary to detain them without first warming them off—if instances of the have occurred—have they not been complained of as illegal? 6. Would or would not a vessel sailing out of disport of Dover, and passing sip or down Channel at the distance of a league or more from the Kentish Coast—be subject to detention under such • soostr•sdoc of the law of bloskade as that under which .the Looach was arrested (not to say, as she truly was, captured!) supposing the port of Calais—a thing not at all beyond the limits of possibility—to bounder blockade ; and would such arrest, cap ture, or detection, be submitted to by a neutral vessel without A Flail unequivocal reply—which would be still more sad*. factory U corroborated on oath—to these six preliminary questiOns, will serve to clear away much of the cloud of mystery in which the affair of the Lonach has been artfully shrouded, and enable us to proceed in our investigation without further mysticism or em barraument—The British public demand, and have a right to know the truck and will not be trifled with.— Pyjama A City Correspondent writes us, that up to the pre sent time we have no furtlier accounts from the East, but a gentleman, who has recently arrived from Constan tinople, states, that the Turkish army is chiefly com posed of inexperienced young men, and since the sup pression of the Janissaries and the war in Greece but few veterans are left, and it is-his opinion that the Turks connot continue the war much longer against the Russians. It is reported at the North and South American Cof fee-house, and credited, that accounts are in town of the Government of France having arranged with the Bank of Paris for the loan of 50,000,000 of Nino,- -thirty millions to be paid immediately, and twenty to be called for when wanted, at the rate of three per cent. interest. Extract of a private letter from Rio, dated 22d May: --" Since our last of the 24th ultimo, our market has *gain been subject to very material fluctuations, the ex change on London having got up from 25 to 27, and went down again to 25 ; and it is the opinion of many that we shall experience further fluctuations, as long as le have not a more fixed standard of our currency. No doubt is entertained that the present Session of the Chambers will give a favourable turn to the finances. Lord Poxsown'r and his Lady are going to leave in the Quer, for England." LITERATURE, the FINE ARTS, DRAMA, tc. a _ BOLIVAII. Bolivar lived a long time in Paris in the Rue &. Honore, where he is will fresh in the memory of the inhabitants. He was modest, amiable, his mind greatly bent on instructions He attended the lectures on botany, in the Jardin des Plants, and, returning home in the evening, be felt pleasure in analysing the lessons be had heard in the course of the day. He bad a great esteem for M. Thouin, and for the Abbe Hilly, who intermixed with their lessons on Culture and Mineralogy. luminous explanations on morality and philosophy. Bolivar was very fond of Andrieux. He did not miss a single ' sitting of the French College when this learned Professor ' with a weak voice, which app eare d more lik e t h at o f a friend than of a master, explained to his auditory the secret of that eloquence which is only line and praiseworthy when applied to the regenera tion of nations ; young then, this promising American, strengthened by unremitting application to study, that spirit of independence with which nature bad gifted him. l'aris, its Academies, man nets, salad's. all developed in the heart of the young stranger the symptoms of that audacious philanthropy, which in silence, from that period. meditated the overthrow of despotism in bis own country. Bolivar is now the greatest man living in America. If be should attempt to eclipse the glory he has acquired, by investing himself with a power little in accordance with his professed republican principles, we should exclaim • 0 this modern Clew will fail un der the steel of another Brutus." THR DRAMA. IIAYWASILST TMEATllll.:We;;;;;;;terday fain to seek re fuge from the spleen-engendering rainy weather within the doors of this little theatre. Limon "es is his customs if an afternoon," kept a so-so audience crowing at his fun, by the same comic secrets be has exerted to the same effect a hundred and a hundred times. The subject of attraction was that mutilated French piece And Pry, preceded by the improbable thing called Quite Correct, in which 14.t0n personated the unnec y and episodic part of Grojen--how ?—irresistibly to be sure—but then just the same u he does every other character. Now, al though we eosins that his humour has power to shake our sides, as readily as any prone to laughter, and that we gratefully feel much tender affection for him in return, still we must regret the little variety he exhibits in hit acting. Indeed, we cannot help thinking that the fortunate droll carnival-looking face be has in herited from nature, and a manner unalterably belonging to him self in private life as well as on the stage, have done more for this pleasant performer the any superior knowledge of his art. Read any character is his line, from Shakspear down to Poole. bearing him in mind,—and you cannot fail, if familiar with his one 'manner, to have him es perfectly before you as if enacting the same in body and substance. You will know exactly where to place his shrug and aide groan, his front face hits direct at the audience, and his frequent upturned appeal to the gods. You will out with his handkerchief at the exact time, aid walk him about at the precis e m o m en t in the ridiculous alanterkin-gait he habitually assumes.— Now we bold the essence of good acting to be a facility of em bracing and truly rendering the conceptions of the Stagrorights in all their 'anon, delineations of human nature, with the peculiar and distinct characteristic belonging to each subject—we expect to And nothing of Gruntio in Scrub, nothing of Jerry Sneak in Jeremy Didier—a comic humour, if of only uoe cast. is not sue. dent, however rich and original it may be, to secure for any his. trion the reputation of a great actor. Farren, unfortunately for the interest we would take in the Haymarket. though differing so much from Liston in his excellent acting, still resembles him in an unveiled and unchanging style, from which he can nu more detach himself than from the husky croaking of kis extraordinary voice. The other people who compose this Summer " troupe," du nu not proud+, much towards enriching the treasury this season. Now with regard to the House itself, it is to be lamented that its dimensions, together with the awkward distribution of its various pans, is so little adapted as a substitute for Covent Garden and Drury-lane, one feels at every moment that it is but a temporary thing ; the boxes, dark and dirty, are so nearly exposed to the street entry, that persons sitting in them ere constantly endangered, by partial currents of air rushing in upon them. The corridors too small. occasion a continual confusion and bustle, most favourable to genius of the light finger. Yet. notwithstanding all this, the Ma nager of the Haymarket must also have his little maim, still more offensive from being almost unavoidable ; the narrow staircases and single entry necessitate our mingling wives and daughters with the Cyprian mob who frrqueut this house, whose screams and sallies, confined to a small space, necessarily ring as distinctly on the ear as the orchestra itself. We were highly edified to behold several tawdry nymphs aiming at webs in the narrow passages we bad for tit lint and lest time the temerity to visit. We woodsy if Mr. Morris employs constables oa the ses. The Monthly Magatiese (New Sales). published this day e ensuing month, in a clever article on theatrical matters, has the following striking observations: " We fear the Haymarket, once the favourite of pleasantry sand the people, has at present as little of the presence of the one as of the other. The fee of the old company have disappeared, and, so far as we can tell, Liston and Farren alone sustain the former honours of the drama. Farren is always clever ; but all the world is not made up of old men. and !Aston, after a third of the season having been struggled over without him, is engaged only for a ' certain number of nights, ' a declaration ominous to the lovers of farce in its best style. Th e heroine is Miss F. Kelly, a clever per son, but certainly not at for the whole round of the captivating. Miss Kelly's voice is as formidable a drawback on her tenderness, as Macready's, and we have seen enough of that actor to be not too much delighted with any thing that resembles his eternal man anion. The usual rapidity of production has not le.s failed the Haymarket this season, and we have beard of no performance but • Maneuvring,' an in genious translation from the French, which is played as the relief from such novelties as ' Spud the Plough,' • Know your own Mind,' Std. : none of them we believe much more than from fifty to a hundred years of age. To make the matter more disastrously complete, new plans have been adopted with respect to the admission to the theatre, which, without bring ing as additional shilling to its funds, will have the effect of alienating a considerable number of its most effective friends. But this kind of prudence is not always the way to profit, as the pro prietors of the Haymarket have probably discovered to a pretty large extent, even at this period of the season. Nothing can be more childish than to suppose that free-lists and the usual privileges. which have long become customary civiliti-s to men of literary distinction, are any actual deduction from the mellow ts of thee tres—quite the contrary. Those individuals, perhaps, do not ester a theatre half a dozen nights in a season, but their opinion has • weight in their various circles well worth ten tim.s such privilege ; and though it would be perfectly idle and offensive to presume that they can care about such attentions ' yet their interest in the pros perity of an establishment is not likely to be made much more ardent by finding a System of pettiness and alienation the order of the day. MONSIEUR CHAUBERT. We were yesterday present at the first exhibition in this capital of the extraordinary feats of Monsieur Chamber; the selimityled fire king, who, after swallowing poisons like sweet meats, devour ing the blazing top of a well pitched Usk, applying moken sealing wax to his tongue, licking a red hot shovel, with which he likewise caressed his hair and face, bolted a spoonful of oil heated to 34:0 de grees, shut himself up at last in a burning oven, with a raw beef steak, and came out unscathed, with the viands dressed to a turn. The wonder we experienced at this spectacle did far from com pensate the pain created by the sight of one devoting himself to so much imminent danger to gratify the curiosity of an Mk public.— A similar sentiment spoiled his success in Paris, and we predict it will prove as discouraging with us. Still those who love the mi raculous, and possess firm nerves, will find ample subject foe astonishment in these experiments of conquest over the aU.devour. lug element.

In what is called the Weald of Kent—that Is, in the districts of Canterbury, Sittingboarne, Cranbrook, Goudhursr, Tenterden, 31arden, Benenden, Ittilvenden, llrenchly, and part of Yalding, there certainly will not be a pocket to an acre.

Rumours have been circulated in London during the last week, with as activi:y only to be equalled by the most inte rested motives, declaring, that from the best information it was proved that the prospect of a good h had entirely disappeared ; and thug from the defective produce of the corn crops the country would shortly be in a state of starvation ! We ale happy, however, with full confidence to contradict these reports, and can at the same time point out their source, trust the intrigues of Mark-lane, and their object to enforce the necessity of importation. With regard to the prubable produce of the miming harvest, it is the opi- I him of the most intelligent upon the subject that it will turn out a fair crop, neither superabundant nor in any degree deficient. Before the late rains the barley and OM upon light lands were unpromising, but the wet weather has done them infinite service ; the wheats always looked well. But be the crops this or the next season ever so abundant, whilst the management of importation Is under the influence of Mark-lane manoeuvres, the farmers can never be able I to obtain a remunerating price for their produce; and no counter action to Mark-lane can be effective, as we have repeatedly men timed, whiter the averages continue to be taken according to the present system.—Sereik Herald.

'lle peas look well, and are almost ready to cut ; and though the beans have improved lately in appearance, in pro portion with the oats and barley, yet we hear of a deficiency a pods. The turnips grew fast, but the weathet has materialy pre vented the operation of the hoe to any good purpose; and the wheat fallow., in the Weald especially, ate in a very bad state.— The clovers and rowan (where the grass was art early) are grown very much ; but the second crop of clover has been much hurt by thelong time the first coop lay on the ground, and where it is in tended for seed will make it come very eeeee n.—Brighauss Goseele Crory IN Scovi.A s D.— Since the kite rains, the fields throughout the county of East Lothian have greatly im proved.
