It was a question of material proof, not of intellectual deduction or analogy ; and if the depositions to the alleged ect of discovery were so strong, and the indicim. of as sorted antiquity so indisputable, all that can be said is— that the decision was according to the evidence. The poetical pre-eminence of the great (Namatist was not even of cctibk—much less could it have been affected—by that enquiry : for if it had been established past controversy that Vortigern and Rowena was as truly SUAKSPEARE'S, aS we now know that it is truly IRELAND'S, how could it havedimmed one jewel in the unfading crown he wears ? It would have added one more to the catalogue of his preserved mediocrities—be it so : but how could that have derogated from his established, transcendental honours ? No, no ; the fame of SIIAKSPEA itE—unimpressible, as his deserts are unbounded—is not to be shaken by the breath of CORBETT : CITY. TwELvs o'CLoca. The approach of settling day in the English Stock Market is looked for with some anxiety, as it is gene rally thought to be a strong Bull account; but that this party will take the stock they have bought for time to avoid the loss they must otherwise submit, and trust to the chapter of accidents for being enabled to get out at some future period. Consols for Account this morning are at 891 ; and for the November Account the price is 89g. IVe have at present very little doing in any of our Fo reign Securities, but the European Bonds are generally steady. It is believed that many of the Continental Powers contemplate a reduction in the interest of their different Loans. The Portuguese Government, it is said, will substitute a Four per Cent. Stock in the place of the Five per Cent. of which they have given notice of paying off; and Austria, it is understood, has a similar measure in contemplation. Naples likewise, it is thought, will endeavour to carry into effect a similar financial measure. Russian Bonds are now quoted at 101 i 2 ; Danish at 70i 1 ; and Portuguese at 101 111. We have nothing yet to notice in the South American Securities : Mexican Stock is 18i ; Colombian, 17 to 18 ; and Brazilian, 62i 3 ; but the transactions are scarce worth noticing. CITY TWO O'CLOCK. No variation has taken place in the Consol Market, which remains for Thursday's account at 891 j. By ac counts from Sicily, it appears that the third supplement to the new Tariff orders that beer pay on entry eight du cats per cantare, and paper for writing or printingsixteen ducats. In the Foreign Stock Market there is nothing what ever doing. Russian Bonds remain at 101 i to 102. Danish, at 70i to 711; and Brazilian, 62i 63. By the arrival of the London Line of Packet Ship, Hudson, Capt. CHAMPLIN, New York Papers to the 18th Sept. have been received at the N. S. American Coffee-house.-. From the Papers of the 17th Sept. we extract the following :-.. The Journal of Odessa of the 15th Sept. contains the following remarkable passage: "If the Sultan has sufficient sense to appreciate his true interest, he will seek an alliance with Russia; while the Russians will gladly receive the same, and gain the affections of the Turks, and thus extend their commercial relations, both in Persia and Turkey."

The following is an extract of a commercial letter from Alexandria, dated 7th Aug. The Pacha is offering some cotton of the new crop for sale ; the price fixed is at 12 talens per quintal. Business is very dull, and the place overstocked with foreign merchandise. English and Swiss manufactures, however, continued to find purchasers, at the former quotations. A number of vessels of all nations are in port, and unable to get employment. The Pacha is about to make some con siderable alterations in the commercial regulations, and a new organization of the Egyptian troops is to take place. THE KING, WINDSOR, OCT. 11.—This forenoon the KING, ac companied by the Duke of Cll3l ZEALAND, the Lord ST EU' A It D, and others of the distinguished members of the Household, attended Divine Service at the New Chapel Royal. The Rev. Mr. Mrso an v officiated, and Mr. HORN presided at the organ. During the Lst three days his MAJESTY has been occuFied, in his private study, for several hours in the forenoon, with Govern ment dispatches, and, after forwarding the regular mes sengers in waiting—which it sometimes happens cannot be done before two or three o'clock in the afternoon— the phaetons being in readiness, his MAJE3TY enjoys his accustomed recreation in taking, for two or three hours, some of his most pleasurable drives. Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, the Duke of Ct mi;JRLAN D arrived at the Royal Lodge, and had the honour cf break fasting with his MAJESTY. At eleven c'eloc!- his Royal Highness, having a desire to enjoy tin, sports of the field, accoutred for the purpose, and attended by Mr. l'l7 nx his MAJESTY'S head gamekeeper, sallied forth, and, wit-1- out entering the regular preserves, found plenty of phea sants and partridges, amongst which his Royal Highness did great execution ; when after three hours' sport, his Royal Highness returned to the Royal Lodge, and, after partaking of some refreshment with the Kt NC:, accom panied his MAJESTY in his phaeton, who, proceeding through Duke's-lane and Norfolk Farm, the latter being one of his MAJEsTv's most particular preserves, hi:; Royal Highness was astonished to see the numerous quantities of game, and so tame that they would scarcely move out of the way. The Km: extended his drive to Virginia Water, Belvidere, returning by Blakeness, China Island, Mill Wood, and Sandpit-gate to the Royal Lodge, where his MAJESTY arrived at six o'clock, and at seven o'clock honoured his Royal Highness, and the distinguished Members of his Household in Waiting, with his company to dinner. This forenoon her 'loyal Highness Princess AUG usTA, accompanied by her Lady in Waiting, attended Divine Service at the parish church. To-morrow (this day), at two o'clock, his IVIAJESTV will hold a Council at the Castle, when it is expected that Parliament will be fur ther prorogued ; and, at the same time, that the Re corder will make his Report. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. LISBON - Szrr 19 . . _ The attack on Mr. M'Kean and murder of id.-; servant has created the greatest alarm among all the Eng;is! re sidents, many of whom are preparing to proceed to Cadiz with their property and families. Had it not been for the presence of mind displayed by Mss Nl' Kean, who leaped from a window to call her brother, there is no doubt that the whole family would have shared the fate of the servant. Among some of the recent decrees of the Usurper there is one which restores the conventual jurisdiction : so that every Convent in Portugal will henceforth have its own Inquisition. The victory at Terceira continues to pro duce a powerful sensation. It has indeed filled the Constitutional party with the highest exultation, since, according to the law of nations, the recognition of the Usurper is of course out of the question, so long as the legitimate Queen, Donna MARIA, possesses Terceira. With regard to the report so industriously circulated of an intention to renew the attack, it does not deserve the smallest credit. Besides the utter impossibility of sending out another expedition, it is notorious that all the soldiers who were saved, have openly deciared their firm deter mination never to return, where such certain destruction awaits them. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, with their suite, arrived in a Government yacht, having a steamer in com pany, about seven o'clock, on Saturday evening, off Brigh ton, from Dieppe. A Royal Salute was fired, on the ap proach of the vessels, and the tender displayed a number of fine rockets. The chain pier was crowded to excess by company waiting to see their Royal Highnesses land. The Duke and Duchess landed soon afterwards. The ladders attached to the chain pierwore decorated with three rows of lamps, up to the signal posts. Admiral Sir ROBERT OTWAY, K.C.B. and several other Naval Officers, received their Royal Highnesses on landing, the company assem bled greeting them with loud acclamations. The Duke and Duchess entered their carriage, which was at the end of the pier, and proceeded to the York Hotel, where a large crowd were assembled, who cheered the Royal guests. Among the nobility and gentry at the York Hotel were the LORD CHANCELLOR and Lady LYND DURST, the Marchioness of DOWNSIIIRE, the MASTER of the ROLLS, the Countess of JERSEY, Baron SAN Will, Lady MARY HILL, Sir ROBERT and Lady OTWAY, Sir ROBERT and Lady WIG RA M, Captain and Mrs. GEORGE SEYMOUR, MTS. FITZHERBERT, &C. Their Royal Highnesses sat down to dinner at eight o'clock. The band of the 10th Hussars attended during the evening. A Cabinet Council was held at three o'clock yes terday afternoon, at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of WELLINGTON, Earls BATHURST, ROSSLYN, and ABERDEEN, Lord ELLENBOROUGH, Mr. Secretary PEEL, Sir GEORGE MURRAY, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. HERRIES, and Mr. V. FITZG ERA LD. The Ministers sat in deliberation till near six o'clock. The Lord CHANCELLOR came from Brighton to at tend the Council. Lord ELLENBOROUGH also came from Worthing to attend the Cabinet. The French Charge d'Affaires, and Sir BROOK TAY LOR (Minister to the Court of Berlin), had interviews with the Earl of ABERDEEN, on Saturday, at the Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Mr. ROTHSCIIILD transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office. The merchants and bankers sign the books at the Bank to-day, and to-morrow they receive their dividends. The public will receive them on Wednesday. A Lisbon Mail has arrived this morning, brought by the steamer. Sailed on the 27th Sept. We do not hear she brings any news of importance, except fear was enter tained there that the Americans would make reprizals for their ship taken at Terceira. Accounts from Salonichi, of the 10th September, re port that the Lazes have obtained considerable advan tages over General Pasziw 'Tsui, on account of which he has been obliged to evacuate Ezeroum. It is stated from Syra, in Greece, 17th August, that amongst the resolutions adopted by the Greek Assembly are the following: that a loan be demanded of France of 60 millions ; and a temple to be erected to the honour of the three Powers, and to all those who have contributed to the defence of their country. COVENT GARDZN.-NEW COMEDY. A new Comedy, entitled " The First of May," drew us on Saturday to Covent Garden, curious to behold what Managers, ander judgment of the immortal Mot/um, had selected as the first specimen of novelty fur the season. The new pieces which those Gentlemen attempted to reserve for the honours of the •• Repertoire" last winter, were truly most contemptible ; and if judiciously and impartially chosen, as the best of many offerings, would prove indeed that dramatic genius is extinct amongst us. And yet, we should like to see some of the rejected naanucripts, not having that belief in Mr.Momeou'sisfallibilty in taste and judgment which his friend Cuisaxes Kneaza appears to entertain. The fate of dramatic writers has been too long dependant on the will of such persons until it has become necessary that literature and na tional taste be at last vindicated from the humiliating conclusions, which the arbitrary practices of monopolizing managers and their hired readers, force u. but too readily to deduce at the expence of our modern literary reputation. It is much to be wished that some society of leittred men were established to invite such writers as have been for several years rebuffed by Itcs•NOLDi. Mourou, and ma nagers to submit their rejected compositions for competent opinion, when doubtless more than one dramatic jewel would be preserved to the country ; acid the age re-cued front the charge of nothing contri buting to our dramatic glory. Peace and ItRYNOLDS, KEMILt and Mouros, for the present, preside over the des:it:les of our British dramatists; and it is to lie lamented, that under the auspices of these illustrious dictators of East; in maters of theatric composi tion, that theiew pieces promoted by them have Willem. been wretchedly unsuccessful. The two-act-thing of •• The First rf May." we are sorry to say, does nothing to remove our suspicions of false judgment, and partiakty in the direction of the great Theaties. At the opelint of the piece, we were agreeably impressed with the historical aspect of the subject. The characters were east in the first force of the Theatre ; but alas ! err our little half hour bad elapsed,we found our hopes at Zeros an unconnected en‘broglio forms the business. The lasciviousness of a caricatured King—the coarse good humour of a Wapping landlady sort of a widow—a runaway ward, meant to be disguised—a horse boy, the confidant of Majesty, imperti nent without wit—and for being a pimp, and treacher ously insulting a lady, is for the sake of morality hands ',timely rewarded, compose its interest ; while an operatic kind of episode—tan end to end encroachment on the bour,—forms its denousitunt, and gives a name to the foregoing string of dialogues, tortured into slip-slop, lack-a-daisical puns, limping along in a broken gait between ancient and modern phraseology. To make the whole as worthy of the Theatre and times as possible, the Songmonger is made to contribute some smallware music to this said Comm' !—while the Itallet- Master gives Thalia a lift with a merry-go-round. Some of our contemporaries heard "cheerios;" as the Piece was again announced. For us, we only could distinguish the rush of the lobby-loungers, swaggerers, and frail ones, into this paradise of drunker: joy, the delectable Musico :.bove. ♦• • • FOR TUE STAR. Never pe:taps at any period of British history did the conduct of affairs demand a more positive unequivocal ability, foresight, tact, and energy, than at this very time. Eidently on the eve of great political convul sions, rushing with accelerated speed towards final decay, surrounded with enmity, mined by debt, and brawling with our Sister Kingdom—kept only to her allegiance by the presence of an array of ruinous magnitude—the salvation of our country depends on first rate ministerial capacity ; while, at the same time, it is governed by men of the most doubtful talents that ever yet conducted the cabinet of this country. With feelings of the most intense anxiety, you must contemplate the now rapidly rising tempest—so long prognosticated—that is to sweep like a hurricane over the face of Europe. From the blackened horizon you turn to the pilots of the bark— anxious to descry in their movements some indication of security ; but they are " muitres ho;nmes" endowed with genius so impenetrable, that it is as abortive to spe culate upon their intentions as to calculate on rouge et noir. The distresses of the manufacture: must increase as winter advances ; late events in the east of Europe have struck panic into the hearts of the maritime ; the agriculturist, kept in painful suspense by the indecisions of Parliament, suffers profoundly from inclement seasons and the whole mass of society are sunk into a portentous apathy—indicative of excess of suffering. In France you have lost the friendship of the people, who would engage in a war against us with transport ; Prussia is decidedly hostile, and evidently ready to coalesce with Russia; the King of the Netherlands sits on an in secure throne—his Flemish subjects, at religious va riance, are combined in their hatred of Holland, and animosity to the English, whom they ac cuse of detaching France from their intereets., Denmark and Poland entertain for us the deepest feelings of resentment :—" You might have served them, and you would not." BERNAOOTTE Sus pects your sincerity ; Spain and Portugal curse you for your cowardly indecision and damnable intrigues ; Italy raves against the abettor of their tyrants ; Austria considers you as tools—and so you are ; the people of the United States of America have resumed all their antipa thies; the 'Bain:non of the BRAT' Ls smarts under the infliction of a series of cruel injuries ; and the rest of those shores apprehend your underhand support of in vasion. Returning to Europe, you find Greece loud in complaints against yoc—coupling you with your ally, the Turk :—and the latter, undone and almost captive, deprecates your treacherous friendship ; while Russia— triumphant Russia—now sure of her conquest, points the finger of derision at you, laughing to scorn your impotent rage and iinhecility. Such, within the short duration of the present Minis try, has become your situation at home and abroad. You are now driven to this alternative—peace, under insult and contempt ; or war, without money and without heart. Nothing, in this dilemma, can rescue England from the most fatal consequences, but an immediate reformation of system. The actual Ministers feel they are not popular, and daily prove they are not successful. Their accession to power has been productive of the most alarming results. Why, then, this tenacity in wrong ; or why this apathy in the people under such a visitation ? It is time the de linquents—whoever they may be—should retire from office. The army is about to require its General; and it were well lie culled a fresh laurel or two, seeing how he has wantonly withered the old ones. An immediate meet ing of Parliament is of necessity : the longer it is delayed the greater latitude for mischief: a tempest is lowering over the House, which to disperse, will require more trips than one to Battersea-fields. OLD SPECTACLES. CORN—EXCHANGE, MARK—LANE. Orr. IS. Our market continues to be most abundantly supplied with all kinds of Grain, having had large arrivals fresh up this morning from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk ; and although there were many country buyers, the Healing Trade was exceedingly dull, the finest New and Foreign at a reduction of from its. to Si. per quarter; all the other descriptions were ineffectually offered at a still greater decline. Barley was also fall ils. per quarter lower, and few sales were effected at that abatement. White Peas supported last Mon day's quotation ; Grey Peas were le. per quarter cheaper. Beans of both kinds were heavy sale, and rather cheaper. Oata were doll sale—New 2s. and Old 1 s. per quarter lower. CHESHIRE WHIG CLUB. The Anniversary of the Cheshire Whig Dinner. %i .04 held at the Royal Hotel on Friday last. Between fifty and sixty gentlemen sat down to dinner. The Chair was filled by G. T ,r,,, Esq. supported on the right by Earl Grosvenor, and on the 1: t by R. Leicester, Esq. G. W. Wood, El. of Manchester, acted as Vice- Ouirman. Among the members present, were the Rev. E. Stan ley, the Rev. Wm. Shepherd, F. Conliffe, Esq. Mr. Curtingbanie the Barrister, and though last not least, Old Ityley, the author 0: the Itinerant, who, near 80 years of age, appeared to be in th:. "vigour of youth," and to be highly interested by the eario.,s speeches which were delivered. In the course of the afternoon a preparatory meeting was held, at which it was resolved to dis continue :or the future any stated meetings or dinners of the Club, and a colncnittee was appointed, empowered to call It togethe. again whenever its meeting was deemed desirable or necessary The dinner was placed on the table about sic o'clock, and re flected great credit on the taste of Mr. Tonslinson ; the wines aid fruits being of the most delicious kind. After the cloth had been drawn, and Non 'obis Tonne sung by the professional gentlemen in attendance, The CILIIIMAN gave "The King."—" God save the K:ng." " The Royal Family, and may they never forget the which placed the House of Brunswick on the Throne." e,itntiil form of Liberty—a full, fair , and tree representa tion of the people in the Commons House 0; Parliament.. `6 The memory• of Charles James Fox." " The strong bold of liberty—a Free Press." Earl Geosverroa rose to propose the health of their worthy Chair man, and in doing so prefaced the toast with along speech, in which he glanced at must of the subjects now of political import, and of general interest. Events were now occurring in the coutitty of sit ultra a description, that he neither could nor would be silent. It was under the circumstances to which he alluded necessary that the print. plea which the club was formed to support, and which wet, contenied fur by :heir ancestors at the revolution, should be fearlessly assert e..

The next subject of general interest, need which be (Lord Gros venor) berieved wou:a engage the attention of the G.i.srn ment and the le,;islature, was the 4 1 1011111 U of slavery i i our West India colonies.

A • it respected Parliamentary Reform, he (Lord li ) was friendly tai the transfer of the tranchise front (Learn] boroughs co large towns; and if AlAticliester and other towns could not be reptesented by this mmle, he was ef opinion that a distinct act should he passed, conferring this right upon them—( Much cheering). Tile Nohle Earl then went on to express his conviction that it was the intention of Ministers to exercise economy in the management tit our resources• The Duke of Wellington, although be heel be. It 3111.01littAt Warden of the Citigae Ports, was not to receive the salary; neither was the Receiver-General ; and it was turtbermore genetaily understood, that the office of Justice General in Irelacd, when next vacant, was to be finally abolished. As it respected affait hi the East, he was under nu apprehension of danger front the Ries Esti, although by this time no doubt peace had been signed within sight of Constantinople. If they attempted to take possession of Turkey, the very extension of their power would occasion them t.. fall to pieces. The Noble Lord concluded by saying, that lie tit night that within the last few years things had taken a great turn in favour of this country ; and he hoped Ministers would seize the present opening on fixing our prosperity upon a permanent basis. The Octane* expressed himself bi 4 hly gratified by the manner in whisk hi health had been drunk. For a number of years, when attending the meetings of the Club, he had been accustomed to join in the expression of public re gret on the state of public affairs. It su happened, however, that it was now his good fortune to have a subject for congra tulation in the granting tit Catholic emancipation. (Cheers.) They now lived in times when there were nut the same patty distinctions as formerly ; fur in his opinion there was little dif ference between a Whig and a moderate Tory. There was, however, another party which bad recently arisen in the cut i•.. who had before lived in a covered way, but had never been properly discerned until modern times—he meant the ultra Tories. They might, indeed, be more aptly termed ul tra Constitutionalists; tor they were violent either one way or the other. They had, however, one peculiar charactet.stic, which was, that they entertained the most profound venera tion for the oisdom of their ancestors to the disparagement of their own.—(Laughter.) They were of a description of men who opposed wheels and waggons because they interfered with sledges and pack-horses, and disapproved of canals for the car riage of merchandize, because it interfered with the old-t•shioned mode tit carriage on roads—( Laughter). They were men, who, in p..wer . advocated the divine right of Kings, and now they are out of power declare, that if the King, with the consent of his Council. grants civil rights to 6,000,000 of Ms subjects, Englishmen will be dissolved front their allegiance. Formerly, if you mentioned the abuses of the Church, these Church and King men said you were Radicals, and now they are abusing the Clergy as the moat worth less creatures on the face of the earth. Alr. Toilet then re viewed the measures of Mr. Canning's Administration, am! dwelt at considerable length on the credit due to the Duke of Wellington for the repeals of the 'feat and Corporation, and the Catholic disabilities. In conclusion, Ise hoped that now the attention of the Ministry was in a degree diverted from the all-absorbing questiou, they would turn their attention to find some new market for our goods. Our powers of production were much greater than our means of consumption, and it was extremely desirable that India and China should be Unarm open to out mer chants —(Cheer,.) " The Whig Club of Cheshire, and by steadfastness and unani mity may it continue to promote the cause of rational liberty.'' " The cause of Civil and Itedgious Liberty all over the world." " The health of Lord Grosvenor." His Lordship returned thanks, and gave " The health of the Vice President." 111 r. WOOD said he felt highly honoured by being placed ri the distinguished situation be then occupied. He could not, however, deny his:nett the graufkation of expressing his sa tisfaction at that act of legislative wisdom ar.d justice vihicii characterised the last Sesston of Parliament.--a measure which hail given the force of law to the opinion that all interference with a man's religious opinions was an i.ct of oppression. The lion. Gentleman then went un to eulogise the Protestant Dissenters for the part they took in obtaining the Catholic Relief Bill, and thin, at considerable length. controverted the opinion that free trade was inimical to the commercial lowest' of this country. He neat re ferred to Mr. Peel's conduct on the East Retford Bill, and con cluded by expressing his hope that the proposed measure of Lord .1. Russel, for granting the elective franchise to the large town•, would meet with that encouragement in Parliament which its im portance deserved. " May the Librrties of Greece revive the glories of ancient Greece." " Mr. Foster Cuerl.ffe, the President elect." Mr. Cusium returned th.nts. " U.lph Leicester. Esq. M.P. and the Whigs of Cheshire." Mr. Lawasres ruse 4inidit loud cheering, and delivered a long and eloquent speech. He stigmatized the Orangemen as the on. ginsturs id the recent broils in Ireland, and warmly eulogized the Duke of Wellington. The baud of Ptuvidence was distinctly •taible in every part of the late measures, which were intended by him to knit all hearts together in one cu 11111 l un band of interest and common right. The ICv. Nlr. Shepherd. and the Whip of livetpool.'• %lr. S returned chants in a huniornes speech. Various ocher to..sts were drunk, and the Chair was ultimately vacated by about eleven o'clock, at which bow the whole com pany departed. By the Manchester accounts, this morning, it appear., that the trade in Dewebary, Harkmandwick, Hudders field, and Halifax, is still in a very low state; but nue branch of the fancy trade has much improved, owing to the invention of a machine called a Witch, which beauti fies the cloth with various flowers. Extract of a commercial letter from Naples, dated the 20th ult.—" The crop of olives continuo' to present nearly the same appearance as when we last wrote.
