Our Gazette contains, under the head df Corfu, bec,, (29, the following article: " Act circling to actounts' from the Morea, Ibrahim flacha continues to scour the Peninsula in every direction. He makes many slaves. among whom are a.great many women. . These unfor tunates are sold at Prevesa, for twenty to twenty-five piastres ; every Arab has at least two ; the devasta tions are dreadful. According to accounts that have been received, slissolonghi has already surrendered to the Turks." This article needs no comment, only it is to be observed, that the most recent letters from Corfu, of J innary 13, do not say a word of the fall of Mis- Madras Papers to the 7th of October, and letters ] from Penang of the 24th, have been received, but they contain little intelligence from the seat of war in India. The accounts from• Prome, state a report that the force of the enemy which was in front, had been ordered to the capital, where great consternation is said to prevail, and although the King gives to each man 150 7icka4, his troops desert in great numbers, saying their opposing the British forces is of no use. A letter from Rangoon, of the 15th ult. mentions that the steam-vessel (with Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL , and his Staff en board, returning horn Rangoon) was nearly lost on her way up to Prome, baying unfortu- nately got:into a whirlpool between Donabew and Sur iawa. A Mr. ViarußA, who was a spectator at a small distance in a boar, hastened towards the whirl pool to save what lives he could in case of accident, but unfortunitely lost his own, as his boat was carried down to rise no More. Some accounts state, that the Burmese are likely to make a stand near Prome, and are even constructing stockades, while others assert that a Bag of truce has gone to Ummerapoora, with a prospect of terminating the war by negotiation. A pr ivate letter from India, in the Dunfries Courier, though not very specific in its details, draws a gloomy picture of the present state of our Indian possessions, and expresses a hope that we will always keep fifty thousaui Europeans there ready to take the field. This letter stases, that a notion has become prevalent among the natives that our career in India is drawing to a close. The Government had given orders for the formation of twelve new regiments of native infantry, ar►d two of native cavalry. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

MONUMENT TO THE LATE CHARLES GRANT, ESQ. The monument erected to the memory of the late Charles Grant, in St. George's Church, Bloomsbury, is placed to great advantage in a recess of the wall in the middle of the western gallery, and has been erected by the East Jndia Company as a tribdte of respect to the memory of Mr. Grant, who was one of their most dis tinguished Directors for a number of years, and in whose service at home and in India Mr. G. spent fifty years of his life. The principal figure is that of Mr. Charles Grant holding in his right hand a pen, and in his left a scroll, on which is sculptured 4, On the state of society among the Asiatic subjects of Great Britain," exquisitely sculptured in white marble, by Mr. Bacon, ' the sculptor appointed by the Eart India Directors to execute the monument. Mr. G. is represented. on a chair, in e dying attitude ; his head" supported by a female figure representing Religion, who Is directing ' , his attention to the emblems of Eterhig above, where h Cherub is sten holding a crown. 'he Itft hand of Religion holds a cross, and also supports an open book, on which is sculptured, 6 4 The psth of the just is 'as the shining light that shiaeth more and more unto the per fect day." Under the figure of Religion is a Mile Indian Boy, who is uncovering the drapery from a tablet, on which is recorded the principal actions of Mr. Grant's life, viz. Promotion of Christian Knowledge in the East. F.cclesiastkal Establishment in India. Purchase of Protestant Church at Calcutta. Establishment of Fast India College at Hertford. Renewal of the Company's privileges in 1813. All the figures are executed in white marble of the na anal size. Uniier the figures is the following inscription : To the Memory of CHARLES GRANT, For fifty years employed in the Civil Government of India, Or in directing its affairs in England ; In four successive Parliaments the Representative of Inverness ; Who, in thee: high trusts, manifested a commanding vigour of ander standing and character, Tempered by calm judgment, Resting on a deep foundation of Christian principle, And devoted with unweat led assiduity to great and public objects, Whose exertions were especially and successfully given To the advancement of the interests of the Body In the direction of whose concerns ha so long and largely shared, By promoting their welfare and reputation, and by maintaining, on public grounds, their privileges, And to the well-being of the ancient and famous nations intrusted to their guardianship, By securing to them the advantages of a just and enlightened Administration, And by Imparting to them the knowledge of the Christian Religion ; Who laboured no less effectually for the improvement of his native country, Where be was the prime mover of those noble works which have changed the face of the Scottish Highlands ; Who, in private life, was beloved for every domestic affection and social virtue, And revered for integrity, devotion, and charity; This Monument is consecrated by the EAST INDIA.

She bas already written about the anomalous creation of a monster, and now she gives vs the History of the last survivor of the Human Race! The - very title of the Book was a riddle ; and, as in the wildest fiction there should be some coherence, it was not a little puzzling to imagine how the Author could get rid of the solecism committed even in its announcement. The work would, of course, be an auto-biography; but then for whom could it be suppesea to be written, and what Headers was it to expect to find? These conun drums Lase at length been solved by the appearance of the book, in which we are informed that the tale is a prophetic one, and has been collected from the scattered leaves of the Cumnan Sibyl, by two travellers pear Naples, who ventured to explore their way iuto the secret and awful cave of the inspired damsel, whos e propheci e s extruded even to the time of the dissolution of all things. The Abbe STANISLAV! STALSZIC, Polish Minister of State, died at Warsaw on the YOth January. He has left his whole fortune amounting 809,900 L t o p u b. lic institutions. LENT i)EROOkNiANCE§4 • COVENT-GARDE:4 THEATRR. The rilusical selection of last night consisted . iither of productiont of established reptitation, than of piecesl possessing a: claim to attention on account of ;meek,. In the fist part, a young Lady, of die name of FARRAR, sing Wise tisenfiattering, wi•lt taste.. Arnometr'sfine Anthem, composed for his NIAJEsTY'S Coronation, was performed with powerful effect. Between the first and second parts, a concerto on the piano-forte was executed by a Miss STIRLING with great brilliancy & touch, and delicacy of modulAtion. In the second part, a grand chorus from a cantata by WINTER, called The Lilmitt• lion of Germany, was well sung, and much applAuded. It is a vigorous and ingenious composition: The rest of the entertainment consioed of favourite passages from HANDEL and HAYDN, and of popular airs. BRAHAM, Miss STMIENS, Miss PATON, and Miss Love, sang with admirable skill, and were most ably supported by Mr. PHILLIPS, &c. The chorusses were given with spirit and ensemble, and the whole was very well received. OPERA HOUSE. Last night, Mr. D. F. WALKER delivered a Lecture pn his beautiful large Transparency at the King'. Theatre with great effect. There is no ex hibition better calculated to give a just idea of the order, regularity, and movements of the Heavenly Bodies than the Klima tanion, which was invented by his late father, Mr. ADAM WALKER, for the elucidation of the sublime science of astronomy. The Lecture last night afforded much satisfaction to a genteel and -numerous audience. ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE. We last night attended Mr. BARTLICY'S Lecture on Astronomy at this theatre, and experienced, we must say, much gratification. The splendid illustrative machinery which is introduced is well calculated to place in a-clear light the definitions of this interesting science. Mr. BARTLZYPI explanation of the causes and phenomena of eclipses and of the tides was given with peculiar felicity, and called forth the applause* of a numerous audience. The exhibition of a magnificent Orrery, ISO feet in diameter, in which the planets and their satellites are seen moving round the sun, with doer comparative diameters and orbits, concluded the evening's entertainment. ADELPHt THEATRE. Mr. lizsay has commenced his third season of Lent amusements at this theatre. - They consist of a very clever exhibition of sleight of hand, performance on the musical glasses,ancla capital display of optical illusions or phantasmagoria. The house was well filled, and the spectators expressed their approbation by frequent applause. MESSRS. GOLDSCHMIDT AND CO. Some idea may be formed of the magnitude of the transactions of Messrs. Goldlchnsidt, and Co. who we yesterday announced had suspended their payments, by the following enumeration of the contracts undertaken by them within the last two years:— I. A loan to the Porto uese ,Government for 1,500,0001. at $7 per Cent. a. A loan to the Mexican Government of 3,400,0001. at 54 pet cent. bearing 5 per cent. interest. 4. A loan to the Colombian Government of 4,750,0001. at 09 per cent. beating 6 per cent. interest. 4. A loan to the Mexican Government of 3,200,0001. et $64- let. bearing 6 per cent. interest. . Of agencies fat" the payment of 'dividends, &c. shits hattse poiseessed that foe the. fret loan to the Danish Government, bearing five per cent. interest, but which has since been converted to a three per-goof. stock, and die agency transferred to another house. The agency for the Portuguese and Colombian loans remained in their hands up to the time of suspending payments.— They have also, we believe, the management of the dividends for the first Mexican loan, but the amount ie not remitted to them till the time of payment arrives The principal cause of the stoppage of this house is cow sidered to be the efforts made to support the credit the different Governments on whose behalf they had entered into contracts fOr loans,' and the depreciation of that description of property has been so great, that at, this moment Portuguese stock is at a -discount of 22;1 Mexican .5 per cent. of 16 ; Mexican 6 per cent. of SS ;, and Colombian of 49 per cent. below the contract price. As the agencies for Foreign Governments are gene rally considered as a source both of honour and of profit to those merchants by whom they are conducted, the succession to those which are thus likely to become vacant, has been a matter of much interest and curiosity. Count Palmella, the Portuguese Ambassador, and M. Hurtado, the Colombian Ambassador, were both in the City yesterday, and had interviews with some leading capitalists on the subject; so that those to whom it may be of importance to learn the arrangements respecting the payment of the dividends on the Foreign Loans before mentioned, may feel assured that matters are in train for giving them the requisite information as early as possible. It is said the money assigned by the two Governments is not placed in the hands of the agents until the.dividends become payable, but that it is lodged in the Bank intermediately, in the joint names of the Minister and the agent—a mode of security against loss from failures, which; if not generally adopted; cannot fail to become so in consequence of the present calamity. Independently of their transactions in loans, Messrs. B. A. Guldschmidt and Co. carried on a very extensive business as merchants, trading with France, Holland, most parts of Germany, Hamburgh, Itassia, but partial cularly with North and South America. On all those places, should the arrangements for resuming business be frustrated, the - shock will necessatily fall with great violence. All acieptances presented up to Tuesday night have been honoured, so that the suspension of payments did not take pl ice till yesterday morning.— Tenders of assistance have been made to the house from quarters of the highest resist ctability, the acceptance of which will of course depend on an investigation of the affairs of the firm; and we uaderstand that a stateMAst, is preparing to be submitted to the Directors of the Bank, as a groui'd for obtaining assistance from tbatt corporation. The house of Guldschmidt and Co. supposed to have realised during the yell: lOU a clear: profit of half a million. One Gentleman retired hob' the pat tnirship, about a year ago, with a very consider. able lot tune.
