RECOLLECTIONS OF O'KEEFFE. FROM THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. At Mr. Harris's desire, I composed a grand piece of action ; the subject the Siege of Troy, which opened at the giving up the daughters of Chalcas, and ended with the wooden horse adventure, Troy in flames, the death of Priam, &c. In this piece also I hid dialogues, a pleasing slew of Paris's dressing-room, the taking leave of Hector and his wife, Stc. I also worked up another dramatic romance—" Valentine and Orson ; ' but on account of the great expense the theatre must incur in an attempt to produce them, they were both given up ; and I set joyfully to work on something more to my wishes—a three-act opera. I finished. the whole of the dialogue, and sent it to Mr. Harris before I began upon the songs. He wrote me word it had got stuff in it, to write the songs ultimo delay ; and as fast as I wrote them to send them to Shield, to set to music. I did so; and when complete, called my opera " The High land Reel." Lewis read the piece, as usual, to the performers, in the green-room. I kept away, but within hearing of the laugh. Meeting Mr. Harris on the stage, when the reading was over, he and I alone, I said, with becominE diffidence, " I think the reading has gone off tolerably. " Tolerably ! call you it?" he said ; " I never heard such intolerable peals of laughter from any performers at the first reading of a piece in my life." He shook me by the hand, and we parted in happy spirits. The opera came out shortly after; and the public were of the same opinion with the performers as to its comic merits. It was acted thirty nights the first season. Mr. Harris gave me for it three hundred and fifty guineas. Miss Fontenelle did the bold, high-spirited Maggy well—it was her first appearance on any stage; and a niece of Mrs. Kennedy's, a Miss Reynolds (her first appearance also) appeared in the quiet, modest Jenny. The music was made up of melodies of Allan Ramsay, Grety, Corti, and Shield. Edwin came out, with all his whim, in Sbelty the Piper, as did Quick, in Mac Gilpin; Blanchard did Charley arch and well; Frank Aikin, in the Laird of Cola, the head of his clan, was proudly characteristic; and Charles Bannister, in Serieant Jack, had Handel's grand dumb march to vociferate. IMPERIAL BRAZILIAN MINING ASSOCIATION. --.0.- Yesterday a Meeting of the Proprietary of this Com pany was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street, JOSHUA WALICIUS, Esq. in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN said that the Meeting was summoned by a requisition which was signed by ten Shareholders, calling on the Directors to declare confiscated .500 shares, upon which the caU due on the 2d of February had not been paid. The CHAIRMAN read several extracts from letters, which stated that their Secretary, after much trouble, concluded for the purchase of that rich and valuable Gongoska Mine, which was considered to possess the finest ore in the world, and that, having obtained the legal right, he also possessed the recognition of that right by the Imperial Government ; and that on the 23d of January last he took possession of the mines, with all the solemnity which the importance of the ac quisition demanded, and the legality required; and he hoped that in September returns would be made from it. The correspondence further stated that the Secre• tory bad gone to the Company's estate, Antonio Penaro, upon which was a most valuable mine—equally valu able, if not more, than that at Gongoska ; and that he had nearly completed all the arrangements for the work ing of those mines ; that the friendliest disposition was manifested on the part of the Government and the Local Authorities, to assist the operations of the Company in every way possible calculated to promote its interests; so that tradespeople of every description had come to reside io the vicinity of the mines, and that all necessary implements for mining had been made from the timber of their estate ; and concluded with the strongest as surances from the Secretary. of the success winch was likely to attend the operations of the Company. The CHAIRMAN then said he should now proceed to the busniess for which the Meeting had been convened, and he was happy to inform them; that out of the 400 shares upon a Lich the deposits had not been paid, only 401 remained in arrears; it now remained with the Meet ing to do that which they were of opinion the circum stances of the case required. He concluded by saying be should be happy to hear any proposition which any Gentleman thought proper to make. Mr. Wituctit then said, as he was one of those who bad signed the requisition, he begged to observe, ►hat hr did so from an equitable principle; that as the con cern had every prospect of turning out a lucrative one, it would not be just that those shareholders who had not paid their calls should have an equal benefit with those alio had. He then moved a Resolution to the effect that if the shares, those on which the call was due on the 2tl of Febi nary last, was not paid on or before the SC.; day of June instant, the Directors should de clare them confiscated. After some desultory observations made by Mr. Denman and others, as to the propriety of declaring confiscated the shares of the dcfaukers, the Resolution passed, substituting the word forfeiture for confiscation ; after which the Meeting broke up. Two letters hive been received and published se cently,fmm the adverse regions of East and West—from the Bishops of CALCUTTA and JAMAICA; both graufy ing to the friends of humanity and religion, for they give a favourable account of the progress of Christianity and the attainment of useful knowledge, among the inhabitants of the countries from whence they come. CUItIoUS LAU/ voQuE.—My father would occasionally make me his cornfiar.ioo in his walks, when not too much occupied by his profession. The day before the commencement of the Westminster plays, he took me to Prince's-court, to see Wilkes. My father and he coo versed for a short time apart, on business; and then, as I afterwards learnt, concerning me and my education. This led to a curious equivoque; for Wilkes turning suddenly towards me, said, in his usual urbane manner, " Well, my boy, how far have you got r I, whose mind was wholly occupied by our late removal from Salisbury -square, replied, " As far as the Adelphi, Sir." —" Upon my word," rejoined Wilkes, "your son, key- Bolds, is very fur ward for his age." " Forward, indeed !" cried niy lather, smiling ; "why Fred. you young rogue, you know nothing of Terence?" " Don't I," replied I, rather snappishly, .1 shy you, yourself, siw me with him this very day ; and I heard him tell you that your upper story was lit a very bad c ndition.". " Ho, ho!" said my lather, laughing heartily, " I understand ti.e matter now ; he means Terence, th e foreman to the three Adams, who built the Adefp,ii 1 . --Reynoldes memoirs DISTURBANCE AT ALEPPO. ALEPPO, MA MAR= 11. Serious troubles have broken out in this city ; it even seems that the Europeans are in danger. On the Ist of this month, their monks, missionaries of the Holy Land, came within half a musket shot of the city ; they were insulted by a troop of Scheriffs, who were passing near the spot, and who, from abuse, proceeded to blows. One of the Fathers was wounded by a stone thrown at his head, and they would have certainly been stoned to death had not a happy chance brought Mr. Wiet, first Dragoman of the Consulate of France, to the spot. On the following day, several Franks were insulted. On the 22d, M. Franc, a young Frenchman, clerk in the French house of Michael Blanchard and Co. ran the greatest dangers. He was going to the counting. house; passing before the Convent of the Capuchins, he was rudely pushed by a Scheriff. M. Franc, who has but lately arrived, and is of a warm temper, sprite to him in French, but in a very elevated tone of voice. The Scheriff attempted to seize a knife from a butcher's stall, but being hindered by the proprietor, he took a stick, and rushed upon the Frenchman to strike him, when the latter drew a knife from his pocket. At this sight the Scheriff dropped the stick, and began to cry out. " Mussulman, help me against the infidel, wh , ) is going to kill me." All the Scheriffs in the bazaar has tened to the spot, with a fanatic sheik at their head, and seized M. Franc. On all sides, as if by enchantment, the populace rose, uttering ferocious cries ; the shops were shut, and the general cry throughout the city was, " A Frank has killed a Mussulman, an Emir." In short, a most dreadful tumult took place. M. Franc, whom they were hurrying away, being opposite the house of the Consul, struggled, and succeeded in escaping for a moment, in order to take refuge there; but it was seven o'clock in the morning, the gate was not yet open, and the Janissaries were not there. He then ran into the open door of a Jew merchant, an Austrian, but the populace followed, and seized him again. While strug gling, one of the Scheriffs rubbed the skin off his hand, l which was 'violently pressed against the wall, and cried that M. Franc had wounded him with a knife. Happily at this moment the life of the latter, which was at the mercy of a furious mob, was spared. They conducted M. Franc to the Mekheme, surrounded by above 4000 persons, who demanded his head. M. iriet being fortunately informed, succeeded in penetrating through the crowd, and entered the Mek heme, hearing all round him the most horrible vocifera dons and maledictions. He fouud the Cadi and his assessors confounded and struck with terror. This Ma gistrate, ill-disposed towards the Franks, though M. Wiet, shoring the arm of the Scheriff, who said he was wounded with a knife, demonstrated clearly that the scratch could not have been caused by a sharp instru ment, sent a menacing !lam to the Mutselim, to be ad dressed immediately to the Pacha, whose decision was to be waited for, and the report ran among the people that only the order of the Vizir was waited for to hang the infidel who bad wounded an Emir. M. Wiet then had a very happy thought. While the 11am was being forwarded, he ran on foot, preceded by some Janissaries, to the palace of the Pacha, where he anived at the same time as the Mutselim. After he had explained the affair, the Pacha declared aloud that it was for the Consul to punish his country man if he was guilty ; and to prevent any excess on the part of the populace, the Pacha sent his officer with M. - Wiet, to convey M. Franc to the consulate. . . In this manner a tumult was appeased, which, if the Pacha had shewn the least hesitation, might have cost the lives of all the Europeans. .

In the Insolvent Debtors' Court yesterday, whilst Robert Tubb, a respectable looking man, was awaiting the preliminaries for his discharge, he suddenly fell from his seat, and on being raised, was found to have lost the use of his right side. He was conveyed to his own residence instead of being remanded to prison. SINGULAR OUTRAGE.— Monday se'nnig ht , J. Durtnall was fined and severely reprimanded by J.

SUGAR TRAnz.Companies are forming to purchase up the lands in Florida capable of producing the sugar cane. From Louisiana and the Floridas we may cal culate upon such supplies of sugar as will one day meet the consumption of the country.--American Paper. CHINRst SCROOLL—The private schools, called Hers kwan, are attended chiefly by pour children : the Seen sang, or master, expresses his duties by the phrase Keaou-kwan, "teaching a school." Boys pay entrance money at their first iptroduction to a schoolmaster; it is called Che-e, and vari-s in amount according to the circumstances of the boy's friends, from 200 cash to 1 dollar. The master makes no demand, though he ex pects something. The scholars likewise pay a small sum on two hOlidays in the year; one on the sth, the other on the Bth moon ; this they call Tsee-e. Ou those days the boys do not attend school ; and there is a vacation of a month or six weeks at the new year. There are charity schools, called E-heo, not establish. ed by the supreme Government, but opened by local officers, for grown students. There are no public schools, nor private charity schools for indigent chil dren. There are night schools (Yay-heo) in large towns, for those persons who are obliged to labour during the day. Chinese children generally enter the school for one year ; not for a quat ter or a month. The Tartars reckon monthly. If a boy enters for a year, be must pay the whole, whether he attends or not. The sum varies from two to six dollars ; three dollars are con sidered an average school fee for a year. PILGRIMS AND THIS PEAS.—And here I .sNould not omit (as it is connected with his EDr. Walcoes] poetry) a visit to my grandmother Polwhele during her last ill ness, which had more of social pleasantry than of medi cal gravity. On the verge of 85, and reduced very low from weakne,s, she retained her natural cheerful. ness and good humour. About a week before her death, whilst Walcot sat by her bed-side, 68 All is well," jai i she, " but for th:- crumbs under me; they are so hard; boil them, and it would do," said she smiling.—. " Come, I'll tell you a story." She then told the story o! " The Pilgrim and the Peas." Walcot seized th, idea, and we all know with what felicity be afterwards turned it to his poetical advantage.—Polahele's Tradi-j um and lereaillections. THE SEASON. ..~ a: The aspect of the country has been greatly improved by the late genial showers; the ground was prevronAy very dry, and the grass had attained but little growth. The cold nights and bleak winds have pat tially inkrred the early fruits ; there is yet a certainty of an average crop of apples. The potatoes, which in many places had suffered severely, are beginning to thrive in a pro mising manner, and wheat looks well.—Ezeter Paper. The crops of grass this year being very backward in Monmouthshire, from the want of rain, the Gentlemen and farmers in the neighbourhood of New Fort have humanely and judiciously issued hand-bills, notifying to the labourers who annually frequent that part of the kingdom from the principality, as mowers, that there will be no work for them untill July.—Cambrian. The favourable change in the weather has relieved those anxieties which its long unpropitiousness had given rise to. Within the last few days fertilizing showers have fallen, and continue to descend, and al ready their beneficial effects are discernable in the im proved appearance of all species of vegetation. The hop yards in this county have shown a remarkable im provement within the last week.— Hereford Journal. The fine showers of the past we:k, which were ex ceedingly wanted, have caused an improvement in the whole face of the surrounding country, which now wears the most pleasing and fertile aspect. Vegetables have fallen nearly one half in their prices, and the more rare of these are daily making their seasonable appearance. Our accounts from the country respecting the apple crops are very favourable; indeed, the general opinion is, the season will be very productive.—P%routh Paper. Accounts from all parts of the country concur in at tributing to the late rains an instantaneous and almost incredible effect upon all kinds of vegetation. Should the M eather permit, the hay harvest will become general neat week. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. William Hart, the driver of the hackney-coach No. 324, was brought up for final examination yesterday, on suspicion of being a party to stealing, from the premises of Mr. Clark, in Hosier-lane, Smithfield, boots and shoes of the value of 1001. The house was broken into early in the morning of the 28th ult. and the booty was carried off in the prisoner's coach. Mr. HARKER now attended for the prisoner. No new evidence was adduced, neither the thieves nor the property having been traced. Mr. H. expressed his surprise that the watchmen, with aU their suspicions awakened, should have felt any delicacy about stopping and searching the coach. His client had been hired in the ordinary way, and was paid Bs. for his job. He had no suspi cion of the fellows, because he was told the goods were going into the country by the Paddington Canal boats early that morning, which was a probable representation ; and he set one of the thie►e,. and the goods down at bat a little distance from the Canal. As to the prisoner being seen in conversation with one of the gang, that related only to what be would receive for his fare. Mr. Alderman J. J. Spurn said be should leave a Jury to decide upon the guilt or innocence of the prisoner. The watchmen were certainly blameable for not exerting the authority they possessed immediately upon their suspicions being excited. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A pretty young woman, genteelly dressed, of four or five and twenty years of age, and her husband and another man, were brought before the Magistrates at this Office yesterday, under the following singular circumstances : Schofield, the officer, stated, that a few minutes before he was standing at the front of the office, when an old Irish woman ran up to Mm with an infant in her arms, and told Mm that she had just seen two men and a woman lay it down on a step in Argyll-place, and then run away down King-street. He immediately accom panied the woman to the top of King street, and there seeing a man running, he followed him and took him into custody, brought him back to the office, and went hi search of the two other pri soners, whom, from the description given of them by the Irish woman, he succeeded in finding a few minutes after in a public house in the neighbourhood. The old Irishwoman now stated, that she mw the three prisoners standing together in Argyll-place. Presently the woman gave the child into the man's arms, and she and her husband ran off. The man immediately put the child upon the step and followed them. The three defendants endeavoured to make his Worship believe that.the affair was nothing more than a joke. The young woman, who, with her companions, refused to tell their names, said she asked the TOMS in joke if he would have the child, and he took it ; and although they left it with him, they had no Intention of de serting it. Th;re was little doubt entertained by those present, that it was the intention of the defendants to get rid of the child in this un feeling manner; but the mother wept, and entreated so earnestly that the child might be given up to her, that Sir G. FARRAR.; after a suitable admonition to the parties, permitted them to retire with it. MARY-LA-BONNE. Robert Dieen, a managing clerk to an attorney was yesterday brought up for examination on a charge of having forged the accept ance of a Mr. Culverwell to a bill of exchange. The case involves a very important point, whether a third party, at present bolding the forged instrument, can be compelled to give it op to assist the prosecution against the prisoner. The circumstances of the charge, as detailed at former examina tions, are briefly as follows:—The prisoner had been on friendly terms with Mr. Culverwell, tailor, of Great Mary-la-bonne-street, and had some money transactions with him, until he became a de faulter and went to the Continent, thereby fixing Mr. Culverwell for nearly tOttl. upon the bail-bond. About a month or five weeks since be returned, and assured Mr. Culverwell the whole of his demand would be liquidated In a day or two, and requested his acceptance at one mouth to a bill for 101. to pay some stamps; however, this request was refused, and on Thursday last a` clerk 1 of the h ouse of Messrs. Lubbock and Company presented a bill of LW. drawn by the prisoner, and purporting to be accepted by Mr. Culverwell, to him for payment. Mr. Culverwell proved it to be a forgery, and sent it away, and very soon after the prisoner came in great agitation, and admitting that he had forged the ac ceptance, implored him to tabs it up, as by the act be had placed 1 himself in great jeopardy, but Mr. Culverwell gave him into cus tody, and made such inquiries that he ascertained the bill bad been indorsed by a Gentleman named Chappel, residing in Piccadilly.—. Mr. Chappel, jen. admitted, upon being allied, that he had given value for it, but upon learning that it was protested as a forgery, at the bankers he paid the 101, and took it up, but upon appearing before the Magistrates, positively refused to produce it, declaring he could not by any means be instrumental in taking away a man's life for such an offence. However, at the last examination, Mr. Griffith held him in his recognisance of 401. to produce the biq, and the prisoner was remanded until yesterday for that purpose. Mr. Chappel, jun. accordingly attended, apologising for his fa ther's absence on account of illness, and upon being asked to pro duce the bill, said be bad left it at home. Mr. thUllITII••••I told you the bill must be produced. Mr. Lisappel—l don't know whether it be a forgery or not ; the bill was receive 9 by my father in an honourable way; and to prevent its beifig dishonoured 1 paid the 101. by my father's desire, and certainly could not be expected to lose that sum. Mr. 'Gamma—That, Sir, is not the question. The course of justice must not be interrupted by you ; therefore you must pro. duce the bill. Mr. Chappel—l cannot produce the bill; I have no disposition to act illegally; but as I am not the prosecutor, and as I have not •given the prisoner iu charge, surely I am not to lose the 101. which I have paid. Mr. Gairrrra—l have nothing to do with that, and I cannot say whether you will lose or not; but remember, you are bound in re. cognisances, and will be in a very awkward predicament if you do not produce this forged document. • Air. Chappel—l signed no recognizance, and I don't know what power you have to make me produce the bill; I ant not acquainted with the practices of this Court. Mr. Guertin—l will nut argue the question with you, but if you do not produce the bill, the recognizance you have entered into shall certainty be entreated. Mr. Chappel-1 have not entered into any recognizance ; I signed no paper. Mr. GRITFITII—That's of no consequence. I will remand the prisoner once more ; and, as I have proof that you have the bill, if you do not produce it, :,,u shall be proceedvd spawn. Mr. Ckappel said he certainly would consult his Laker before t e would produce the bill, declaring his conviction to be that itir gistrates had on authority to compel kith to produce it, as he did not know whether it .was a forgery or not. The Magistrate remanded the prisoner, and advised Ur. Chapprl to produce the hill at the next examination. WO RS H I P-S T R EST. Yesterday, Wacket was charged with disturbing the congte. gadon of the Wesleyan Chapel, Hoxton. On Monday avening he entered the Chapel smoking a pipe. :n1 ' exclaimed "LOUD Jesus Court, I came here to smoke a cornfortam e pipe, but I can't, there's such a crowd." This, of course, caused a suspension of the religious service, and he was secured after a perate attempt to rescue him by a companion. He was cumnw.lrd until he can procure two respectable persons as bail, and if cunvl;ted will have to pay a penalty of 401. UNION HALL The Vauxhall season hawing commenced. the potice ***melt. so the Gardens under the superintendence of Mr. Hall, the chief c(: , - stable of this once, have performed the duties so efficiently h tberto under his direction, that it is a rare thing now•a-days to it-„- of robberies in that attractive place of public asnesetnene, avtwith_ standing the multitudes that (rewind it on gala and other night; ! performance. During the List season only one robbety of eny consequence occurred from its commencement until its termination ; and this was committed by a man of highly respectable /mil named Knatchbull, possessing a polished address and gentlemat4 deportment, who picked a Gent:eman's pocket of a pocket boot, containing money and bills to a considerable amount. By the wig!. lance of the Polite he was apprehended immediately after the rob bery in the Gardens, and subsequently tried and convicted of th e offence. On Monday night a lad, apparently about 16 years of ar t , dressed like a Gentleman's son, entered the Gardens ; and was observ ed by the Superintendent of the Police ; who, convinced that lie xv 24 not come there to gratify his curiosity, but for the purpose of co ol . rrtittitng depredations, watched him narrowly, and saw him join a mum in the Rotunda, with whom he walked and mingled in the company. From their conduct while amongst the crowd. the seperinten.leta placed his men in situations that it was impossible for a thief to lease the gardens without discovery. The two suspected persons ceiving that they were watched, immediately separated, and the eider one darted in amongst a vast concourse of people who were witnessing the ballet ; the other, his companion,was apprehended on the spot, and taken to the treasury, when en questioning him, ie turned out that his name was John hPGrath, that his father was a journeyman slater, residing in the neighbourhood of Crown-street, Soho, and that Ise (the prisoner,) was of no business. He was sub sequently searched, when a handsome watch, with chain and geld seals, were found in his possession, of which he could give no satin. factory account; be was therefore detained and brought up to the slice yesterday morning. The above circumstance having been communitated is Mr. CRAMiIMS, the Magistrate, by the chief constable, the prisoner, in reply to the questions put to him, gave the following answers I didn't go to Vauxhall to do any body. The man that was with me in the gardens was my nnele ; and as for the watch, chain, and seals, I will explain an about them another time." Mr. Hau. said that the prisoner had all the slang that was so generally used by thieves, and he had no doubt that it would turn out that be was an experienced one, although not known as such at this once. The Magistrate then desired that the head constables of each of the police offices should be directed to attend here cm Thursday next, in order to identify the prisoner, who was stated to be in the habit of constantly attending the Opera House, for the purpose of picking pockets. MURDER.-0a the night of the 30,h, or morning of the 31st ult. a man named George JoSnson, who was employed by Mr. Sherrard, of Blessington-street, as a keeper of the lands called the Folly, barony of Balrud dery, county of Dublin, was found murdered at Pal "metstown, within a quarter of a mile of his residence. The unfortunate man exhibited marks of the most savage cruelty on the part of his assassins; he had fourteen cuts on his head, one arm and several ribs broken. On the 22d ultimo a fire broke out in Pi last, which, the wind being very high, spread so rapidly, that several houses, warehouses, a salt magazine, and the back buildings of the salt factoty were reduced to ashes. It was only by extraordinary effirts that the progress of the games was checked, which had already commas nicated to the timber yards, and the magazines of pitch and tar. The damage is considerable. Died, Wednesday re'nnight, B. Swete, Esq. of Bal linascarthy-house, near Clonakilty. His death Teas oc casioned by a fall from his horse, *hik riding home to dinner, from Courtmasherry. His remains were disco. vered on the road by a country boy, who, having given the alarm to his friends in Timoleague, they hastened to the spot, and found him, who had been in possession of health and vigour a few moments before, a lifeless corpse. Every effort which human skill could perform was exerted to produce resuscitation, but alas, in vain. ' Wtez SOLD.—Mr. Colbatch called the attention of the Magistrates to a most disgraceful transaction that was reported to have occurred in the market, namely, that a man had sold his wife to another person. The Magistrates reprobated such conduct in severe terms, and sent for the clerk of the market, whose son attended ; and stated, that having heard of the transaction, he went to Hilton, the man who sold his wife, and des mended the toll. Hilton then offered him 4d. but the witness replied he must have a shilling if. he took any thing, as it came under the head of " things not speci fied in the Act." To this Hilton replied, " Why 4d. is the price (toll) of a hoe' He then paid the shilling and went away. Witness then told Hilton he did not know whether it was legal for him to sell his wife, but if nor, the fact would be proved by the entry in the toll book, which was to the following effect May 16th, 1826. Mr. Hilton, Lodsworth, publicly sold his wife for 305." The Magistrates then, after examining several other witnesses, issued warrants for the apprehension of ILA ton and another ; Sir D. SCOTT observing, that if the parish would not prosecute, he himself, rather than let such an infamous transaction pass unpunished, would pay the expenses out of his own pocket.-=Brighton R. C. .Storea, who committed foigery about two years since, in Demerara, on Messrs. Daniel and Co. of Bristol, in the name of Mr. John Austin, of Plantation Land of Plenty, underwent the punishment of flogging on the 19th of March, and was soon afterwards t.. be banished from the colony. He received 86 lashes with his hands tied and a rope suspended round his neck from the gallows. MARRIED. Monday, the Earl of Hopetoun, to the Hon.
