In a letter front Lisbon, which appeared in the Times of yesterday, we read the following passage, corrobora tive of that hideous turpitude in some of our contempo r.tries at which we have frequently hinted. The calcu lating shrewd heads of the gentlemen suspected, secure them from the charge of madness; and surely nothing short of that could determine any one publicly to sup port injustice, spoliation, and murder—except indeed -131:18tILY ‘. It is a positive fact, that in 12'M:swat's accounts of expenses to this Government—meaning the Portuguese—an item of £13,600, or 68.000 milrees, figure u given In the year to the rascally Editors of some of your English Papers, employed by him to advocate the interests of Don Mount. This is a fact not very honourable to your public press, though such Editors have, at any rate, shown some cleverness in selling themselves for so much monty."—Tines. Here then, British Readers ! is the secret of that monstrous advocacy of a wretch whose existence is a blot on the 19th century. The murder is out. The arguments advanced so audaciously, regardless of your reprobation, were cheap enough at the price of 68,000 milrees-68,000 milrees !—L13,600 !! ! Who could afford to preserve conscience in such a golden shower ? We should not wonder if it amounts to a shilling a line ! We shall examine the files of our con temporaries up to the period of the first defence of the Portuguese monster, in order to estimate their gains— calculating after the quantity of laudatory shame with which, in honour of the bloody suborner, they have dis graced themselves and their Newspapers. Instead of prudently skipping over the thing unnoticed, a person signing himself a " SUBSCRIBER" thus replies to the charge in the Morning Journal of to-day : _ _ " TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING JOURNAL. " Stu—ln the pretended Lisbon correspondence of the Times I find the following egregious falsehood : That in the account ren dered by Count d'Asseca to his government there is an item of 13,6001. paid in one year to the rascally editors of some of the London journals as the price of their advocacy of his Majesty Don Miguel. If such an assertion were at all true, then all the previous descriptions given by the Times of the niggardliness and poverty of the Portuguese Monarch must be untrue. Such a payment as the Tines correspondent has invented bespeaks a generous as well as a wealthy giver. There is one fact, however, that may be felled on, and that is, that for the communications signed " A Brazilian esta blished in London," which appeared in 1807, the rows received from Palma's a much larger sum than that which it has so gra tuitously assigned to the defenders of King Miguel. I should ad vise the Times not to mention anything about rascally Editors in future." This smells strong of the Fos !—His MAJESTY, Don MICUEL I—His Majesty, Don ROBBESPIERE! !! This partisan of such MAJESTY, endeavours to confute the Times by vainly making it contradict itself ; but does Assica think that it is any proof of generous disposition to be liberal in bribes to spies, executioners, and news papers ?—Or does he think to exonerate himself and his hireling by recrimination ?—We have borne too much from this fellow and his slaves. We shall have at him soon—and the 68,000 milrees to boot. •♦♦ • • Yesterday the first meeting of the creditors under the Commission of Bankruptcy issued against Messrs. Severn, King, and Co. the extensive sugar house, and whose failure occasioned so serious a panic in the Colo nial Markets a few days since, took place before the Commissioners of the 13th List, Messrs. Harvey, Roots, and Belt. Mr. Freshfield, the solicitor, attended officially. A considerable number of debts were proved, but from the extensive nature of the transactions in which the bankrupts have engaged, na correct estimate could be formed of the amount of debts due by the firm, they having at present out what are technically termed run ning bills to a considerable amount. The bankrupts ap peared and surrendered themselves, and received the protection of the Court. Letters have been received from Rio Janeiro, but not of a later date than the last accounts. We still remain without any foreign arrivals, sup posed owing to the adverse winds. A vessel has arrived from Terceira, u hich island she left on the 21st September, after having succeeded in landing some troops. We are informed that a great awn ber of the prisoners taken in the late encounter there, particularly those who could be depended on, have been incorporated in the ranks of the brave defenders of Ter ceira, and the remainder, those supposed to be staunch in Don M vEL's cause, have been doomed to work at the repairs of the fortifications. Three men of war were still blockading the island, the Don Joan 6th, two cor vettes, and a brig. Every thing was well organized, and the island perfectly tranquil, without the least fear of a future attack. The Calcutta Papers, though not of a later data than the last received,, are rather interesting. In regard to the Indigo crop, letters have been received from the adjacent districts, giving but a melancholy account of the progress made by the planters in their sowings ; the greater part of whom complain bitterly, whilst others write in app►- rently good spirits. The truth is that the rains have been partial ; the sowings amount to half and three fourths of the lands in cultivation ; and but a very few gentlemen have been fortunate enough to complete their sowings, and some complain they have had no rain at all. In the Moorshebaba, Kishenger, Jessore, and Jel lalpore, loud complaints are making ; and it is the gene ral opinion, that, down to the present date, the season promises to be mueh like that of the past year. At Ennis October Sessions 261 freeholders are no ticed for registry, in which number there is not one for 501. and only three for 201. each. Four hundred and ten freeholders have given notice of .registry at the next County Sessions, Limerick district. MOUNT SAINT GOTHA RD.—The fine road of the Saint Gothard is so far advanced, that they expect it will be passable this Autumn for small carriages. The steepest parts of the mountain are now only six per cent. af what they were, Magnificent bridges ornament the whole road. The most remarkable is that built over the 'Rough, very near the Devil's Bridge, so celebrated for its antiquity and bold construction. The bridge over the Reugs is still more astonishing, being twenty-seven feet higher than the Devil's Bridge ; consequently they will now consider the latter only as an old national monument. RIGHTS OF OWNERSHIP. FOR THE STAR.

THE GRAND FEAST OF TABERNACLES. The Feast of Succoth, or Tabernacles, which com menced at sunrise on Monday morning, was one of the greatest festivals in the year, appointed for the appearance of every male Jew at Jerusalem. The ceremonies attending the festival are ob• served by the modern Jews; the dwelling in booths is observed by all those who have the convenience for building one. It Is a temporary building, covered with branches of trees, and the inte rior is handsomely and tastefully decorated with fruits, flowers, and ornaments, and Hebrew prayers are said on the occasion. In the centre is suspended a lamp, with seven lights branching from it. In this dwelling the owner, with his family, abide for the eight days of the festival. It is ordained that they take of the fruit of goodly trees branches of the palm tree, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook, over which they repeat certain prayers, thanking the Autunite that he has preserved them to enjoy the present festival. The last day of the feast is a particular day of rejoicing, and is .called " Simchath To rah" (rejoicing for the law), which may be explained as follows : The Pentateuch is divided into 52 different portions, one portion being read every Sabbath, and on this day they finish and begin it again, for which their rejoicings are held. On this day all their rolls or books of the law are decorated with their silver bells, and other ornaments appertaining to them, with which, each roll being carried off by its owner, they encompass their synagogue seven times. This paticuhr day of rejoicing was formerly appointed for drawing water out of the pool of Siloam. It was not ordained, but only observed, as an ancient custom, as is the present" Simcbath Torah," which was appointed in lieu of it when they could no longer observe the former custom. The design of this festival was to cont. reemerate the dwellings of the Israelites in tents in the Wilderness, previous to their settlement in the promised land. All is melancholy and despair in and about Fish mongers' Hall. The proprietor looks elsewhere for his profits, and the New Police look forward with a longing eye to the season when they are to make themselves ac quainted with the inmates. It is said to be in contemplation to erect a new Shire House for Kent, on Penenden Heath, in lieu of the shed now dignified with that title. The Whigs are really most amusing people. At the late Dilber of the Cheshire Whig Club Lord GROS VE NOR is Otted to have assigned " the present favourable aspect of public affairs" as a reason for discontinuing its meetings. We copy the following paragraph from the Dublin Morning Register, as an instance of the " progressive prosperity" of Ireland :—" A gentleman, who was a referee on a recent occasion in the South of Ireland, has given us a curious illustration, though in a small instance, of the present condition of the farming interests in that quarter. A goat had been killed by a vicious deg, and the sufferer claimed compensation. The arbitrator decided that com pensation should be given, bet the question was as to the amount. The complainant claimed Ss. saying he paid that sum for the goat 12 months ago. The respondent resisted the demand, saying it was notorious that he lately bought a goat as good for as ps/ace, and that be could, at the time he spoke, purchase one 25 per cent under that sum. From this it is to be learned dui/soy-pease is the price of a goat at present in the South of Ireland!" We have heard since our last of three outrages in dif ferent parts of the country, which is at this moment in such a de plorable state, that we agree in the assertion made a few days since, that it is hazardous to travel through or reside in it.—Oare Journal. Attempts were made this week by midnight burglars to rob the house of Mr. David Murphy, woollen-draper, of Tralee, and also of Miss Herbert, sister of the late Archdeacon Herbert. The latter unfortunately was successful —Lineriek Chronicle. On Monday evening some fellows got into the out once. of Captain G. H. Fitzgerald, at the Crescent, and took off some servants' clothes. Their attempts to enter the treasurer's (Ace were ineffectual.—liii. The Mimber for all Ireland and the County Clare was at Enniseortby on Friday, where there was a " gathering" of all the ragged, five-day bearded, barefooted, dirty-faced, portion of the inhabitants, who greeted him lacemantly with their applause, of which be seemed quite proud, and frequently acknow ledged, by bowing, their gratifying attentions. His M.P.-ship arrived there from Waterford, on his way to Dublin — Wexford Papa: THE ARMY. Loan Fizzaoz Souraser's LUZ—Major General Lord Fitzroy Somerset, K.C.B. as Military Secretary to General Lord Hill, G.C.B. and G.C.H. Commanding•in-Chief, went through his list yesterday, at his Office in the Horse Guards. A few Generals, and about thirty other Officers, tracsacted military busineu with bis Lordship. GRAND REVIEW AT WOOLWICH. YesterdaPthe --- Vrhole;f the Royal Artillery stationed at Wool wich, consisting of two battalions of infantry, and several troops of horse artillery, with their field-pieces, were reviewed on the Common by Lord Edward Fitzroy, Lieutenant Master-General of the Ordnance. . .. About half past ten o'clock, his Lordship, accompanied by a number of distinguished Officers, came upon the ground, and was received with the tonal ceremonies, the troops being in line, with their front towards the barracks, and flanked on their right and left by the horse artillery, forming a Rost interesting appearance. His Lordship and suite having rode up and down the line, then took their station on the sight, when the whole having passed then, in review order, changed their front, and the principal part of the horse separated front the main body, and took up a position under cover or the Academy, from whence they opened a brisk fire from their field-pieces on the infantry, which the latter returned by several discharges, both front their field-pieces and musketry, and then, forming into close columns, advanced, and drove the supposed enemy from their intrenchment further into the Com mon, where the horse several times halted, and renewed their fire on the infantry front three different points, the infantry continuing the pursuit, during which they performed several manoeuvres, forming in line, and firing by companies, also forming in squares, and opening a tire of musketry to resist the charge of cavalry, &c. which, with the di•charge of so many fi:lel.p:ece., caused some confusion among the equipages on the ground ; and the grotesque appearance of the s;•ectators, who were flying in all directions to get out of the way, was highly anniaing to those who were in safety. About one o'clock the firing ceased, and the whole of the troops having been again formed into line, saluted the General, who repressed his approbation of their high state of discipline; after which the troops marched off to their r:apective barracks. Not the slightest accident occurred during the whole of the time. On Friday, when the Artillery were practising the evolutions for the Review of yesterday, one of them was severely injured, but he is in a fair way of recovery. On Saturday another of them. stationed to ram home the powder, mistaking, it is supposed, the flash of the adjnining piece for that of his own, began to sponge his gun just at the moment when the match was applied to it, and consequently received the whole of its contents, which mutilated and disfigured hint in a shocking manner—one of his eyes was blown completely out of its socket, and one of his arms shattered in a dreadful manner. He was taken to the hospital, where the arm was amputated, and every assistance troubled hint, and we understand some hopes are now entertained of his ultimate re. covert'. NA VAL INTELLIGENCE.

Tits DUKE OF NEWCASTLE.—At the time of the Queen's trial, we took occasion to observe that this per son was not in the slightest degree connected with New castle upon Tyne. We made the same declaration when his Grace—his most ungracious, or as Shakspcare would call it, disgracious Grace—acted so forward a part against the government. It would seem that circum stances rendered it necessary for us to repeat our regret, that the comparatively modern peerage of Newcastle under Lyne should take the exclusive name of Newcastle, as if to assimilate it to the ancient titles of our Earls and Dukes of Newcastle upon Tyne.— Tyne Mercury. It appears tolerably certain that the moderation of Nicholas is precisely such as we have repeatedly antici pated. He is to have a sum of money from the Porte which the Sultan will hardly ever be able to pay ;—he is to have such occupation of the Turkish empire as will I e tantamount to its becoming Russian ;—he is to have ex clusive privileges in the Black Sea, which will do all tl,e injury to the rest of the world that we have oftentimes foretold. As far as we can judge at present, it is such a treaty of peace as is likely to throw all Europe into hostility.— Tyne Mercury. ®FROM THE QUEBEC PAPER OF TILE iOTII SEPT. ST.

Since Wednesday the weather has been extremely blowy, and on Thursday evening there was a gust of wind from the N.E. which swept before it all the dust. Yesterday evening we had another squall, with thunder and lightning, and a shower of rain." We are happy to be able to state that the son of Mr. Wait-sat of Drury-lane Theatre, who lay at the point of death from Friday forenoon till Sunday morning, has been pronounced out of danger, and is likely to do well. We understand that the practice of repairing British ships in foreign ports has become very common, and that a scientific gentleman has recently left Sunderland for Hamburgb. fur the purpose of superintending the construction of a patent slip-way for repairing ships at that City. NATURAL CURIOSITY .—A petrified oak has just been found in the fire stone quarry at Wideopen. about five miles from Newcastle, at a depth of forty-two feet from the solace, and six feet from the bed of the stone. Twenty-four feet of the upper part of the tree has already been taken out; the extent of the remainder cannot yet be ascertained, as about nine months will be required to re move the stone which covers it. Its horizontal exceeds its vertical diameter in the proportion of 17 to 10. Its position is nearly horizontal, the bark, knots, &c. retaining:their original appearance : it is hollow it the core, and chrystalized ; its longitudinal separa dons are precisely those of wood rent by powerful external pres sure; and In breaking it stp, its transverse section represents the fracture of iron stone. This fire-stone rock is known to extend from Wideopen, which is its western extremity. eastward about four miles. Its width at Wideopen does not exceed a quarter of a mile, shaped as if formed in a ravine, which may extend between Prestwick Car and the German Ocean, as rock is found in the whole line, though differing in quality. DESTRUCTION of the MA NC'HESTEL, LI V ER POOL and HALIFAX COMPANY'S WAREHOUSES MANCHESTER, by FIRE. MANCHESTER, Oct. 12. This morning, between the hours of five and six o ' ci.irt , this town, and more particularly the neighbourhood of Pi:citlilly and Dale-street, was thrown iota the utmost state of consternation, in consequence of a report having been spread, that the exten sive range of warehouses belonging to the Company of Merchants trading to and from Liverpool, Leeds, York, and Halifax, had taken fire. In a short period after the alarm being given, the streets in the vicinity of the warehouses were crowded to excess by the inhabitants, anxious to learn the truth or falsity of the report, but unhappily it turned out to he too well founded, the immense warehouses being enveloped in flames, which were rising and spreading to a terrific height. The fire-engines of the Royal Exchange Assurance Offite,the Norwich, the Manchester, and the various other Offices who have stations in the town, were immedi ately upon the spot,and commenced playing upon the building ; but, notwithstauding the plentiful supply of water, (the. Rochdale Canal adjoining the premises,) the destructive element had proceeded too far to entertain any hopes of checking its progress until the demo lition of the premises had been the consequence. The firemen therefore directed their labours to those warehouses adjoining, be lunging to private individuals, which appeared every instant to be in danger of taking fire, from their having a communication with the Company's warehouses. The engines played incessantly upon the buildings in the neighbourhood, but, unfortunately, the warehouses of Messrs. Barnsley and Faulkner, carriers to and from Manchester and Hull, being in the immediate vicinity of the Company's ware houses, fell a prey to the devouring fury of the flames. About half-past six the fire appeared to assume a most formidable and terrific aspect ; the gond, in the warehouses had ignited, and although persons had been employed since the commencement of the fire, in endeavour ing to rescue the property, all hope of saving the remainder was lost . The landing-places were in flames, which ascended to the roof, utd that in a very short verioil fame down with a tremendnus ; four barrels of gunpowder, which were on the premiers, brlongi :I to Messrs. Holland and Curtie, ertiptitqs. exploded, and el k the timbers like an tarthqu.ke, and coned them to fall insrmvat ~ . oily down, which brought wnli it a part of the brick k . The buildings at this time seemed like the burning of au eitorm us furnace, the Company's watehaults being fun of hales of c 1N• n • which burnt with a violence that easily may be imagined ; th e firemen endeavoured amoego the burning reins ta rescue saat property which was in the rut alter end attar premises, and he very great value they had played upon it with the engines it r length of time; sixteen or seventeen of them, howeve., proeee.'e to venture their lives in endeavouring to preserve it from the it sr! e l ' but just as they had reached the spot a part or the wall save way upon them, and buried several beneath the ft 11114; however, they all were most tuiracolously preserv.d, with the ex ception of one pone fellow, named Th ..... aa Taylor, a fireman of the Royal Exchange Asourance Office, who was picked is in a dreadfully mutilated state, and carried to the alai:cheater fin firmary, where he expired a lew minutes alter his arrival. Several other, are materially injured, though not as effects their lives. The unfortunate man who has lost his lite was about thirty-two year; of age ; he has been some time in the employment of the Royal Ex change Assurance Company, nod was much respected. lie h left a wife and three children to deplore his lose. How the fire ori ginated it is impos-ilile at present to divine. It appears that the persons employed by the Company during the whole of Saturday and Sunday had been engaged in shipping goods, and recommences their labours at half-past twelve on Moirlay morning. A H ac h. smith :lamed Eaton was the first to discover the fire ; and :t is re ported that the origin was, that one of the workmen of the Com pany fell asleep upon a quantity of fin with a lighted candle by his bide. If that as the emu, the pour fellow has must likely perished, though, as there is no cenfirmetion of the fact, it is merely given as rumour. The extent of damage sustained cannot as yet be esti mated. Seven hundred bales of cotton in the Company's ware houses, belonging to various perrotie in Manchester, and the towns lu the neighbourhood, together with eight Izmir. d loads of malt, the property of a Mr. Taylor, malster, ci Carlton-upon-Trent, near Newark, in Notunghamehire, were amongst the property destroyed. 'Flue warehouses, we un derstand, though not the goods, were insured in the Norwich and Royal Exchange Assurance Offices ; the good% it i. premised, will be the loss of the individual owners, a, the warehouses were, as it seems, public propetty ; any vessel that chose might discharge its cargo, and deposit it there, by paying the warehouse dues. The warehouse of Messrs. Hamby and Faulkner, as well as those of the Liverpool and Halifax Company, were reduced, by ten o'clock in the forenoon, to a heap of rubbish ; fortunately, the only loss in property sustained by the former, was the destruction of four hairs of twist. Had the fire happened on the Saturday, twist to the amount in value of 30,00e1. would most likely have been destroyed, it having only been loaded in the vessels on the Sunday night. At four o'clock on Monday afternoon, the fire was still raging, though now it is not probable it will ex:end further. The Canal, which runs alongside the warehouses, apt eared like a lake of liquid fire, the surface for a considerable distance being covered with burning cotton ; the branches of the Canal, which lead to the interior of the destroyed were - houaes, are wholly blocked ep with burnin; rubbish, end the Canal itself has the appearance, from the smoke, of boiling watt r. The brick-work of this immense pile of building now stand, in a very insecure state, and is expected to tall every hour. There is an immense range of building immediately opposite to the de stroyed warehouses belonging to the Rochdale Canal Company ; but happily the Canal divides them, otherwise they, in common with Messrs. Ilartiaby and Faulkner'o, might have shared the same fate. It is scpposed that the destruction of these watehoune will be a great loss to the mercantile part of Manchest r.
