Yesterday, an Inquest was held at Sr. George's 'Work boese,"Mitit.s6eet, Borough, on , the body of .Mrs. Mary Wilton,,aged 50, whe lost her life at the late fire in St. George's Crescent. , Mr. Biekerton stated; that he lately resided at N 0.4. St. George's Crestent, near the Surrey Theatre. About two o'clock on Sunday morning last, be was awakened by a ringing of the house bell, when Mr. James, his partner, who resided in the house, Tibhed into hii chaMber, and said; " For Gon'a sake save yourself." He then leaped out of bed, 'and Me. Julies tan up stairs, and alarmed the boys and the housekeeper ; before witness could getout of his room, he heard the deceased say s " Whereas the fire?"

It should be confessed, however, Herat the Bridal Government bad nothing whateur to do with the original foimation of the settlement at-Sierra Leone Some philanthropists were the jest projectors, in 1787, through whom it passed into the bands of aiompany, whose resources having become bankrupt in 1807, the English Ministry then first took charge of the colony. Sipco that time it has been used as a depot for the li berated African slaves, of whom there are at present -about 14,000 in the Colony. These are instructed ,in some of the arts of civilized life, and taught to labour ilf,the - fields; but the produce of their industry has, hithetto been slight, nor have they made any cons xecoiorme advances in civilization. Yet were the' designs of Great Britain •, highly honourable to het character. She expended her blood and treasure on the ..scheme of human improvement; and though her hopes' ' have not yet been realized, the causes which beveled to this disappointment are not irremovable; the experience of the past will almost answer for the success of the future; and we look forward with confidence to witness her energies employed on some more propitious soil, carrying on' he grand work of human amelioration with an ardour increased by past difficulties. If the prompt ings to this sacred duty required any selfish consi derations, there are many that might be urged with ir resistible force. New sources of trade are wanted by the country—new customers must be found to consume our 'manufactures; and though but a poor picture is drawn of tie state of the native African tribes at present, yet, by opening a free intercourse with the most intelligent of these nations, by teaching them. the value of Euro pean arts, and the morals and manners of civilized life,-there can be no doubt that in the course of time the immenseCootinent which is now enveloped in barbarism, would become a valuable market for our commodities, when the Old World is comparatively closed against es by the rivalry of other nations. To this end indeed have travellers been sent to explore Africa; and we rejoice to find that their labours are now drawing to a conclusion. The last accounts from Captain Clapperion leave no doubt that the Niger rues into the ocean et the Bight of Benin, after traversing nearly the whole extent of Africa. Here, then will be the spot to erect a settlement s through that celebrated river, which is said to be navigable tor 1.500 miles. a trade could be carried into the heart of Africa.

The superb suite of rooms were dna op end lighted inertia. cently for the occasion. The company began to arrive aeon after ten o'clock. The usual succession of stale and practical jokes—of dancing and conflict—of good humour and contention.-of excel lent music and deafening noise, followed, and was kept up until the aunouncement of " supper." A general rusk then took place, sod the viands disappeared in a twinkling. The dance and were afterwards resumed, and continued to a late hour.

Parsons, the admirable representative:of old men, and nth* chatacters in low comedy, at Drury-lane Theatre, was in early life a member oils poor strolling' company in North Wales, in which wretched situa tion he rather existed than lived. His benefit approach ing, upon which alone he depended, he hit upon the following expedient for filling the barn in which they performed. on his night, by giving out, Whilst hawking his tickets around the men, that he,pessessed . the know. ledge of discovering coal mines, by merely tasting the earth that covered them. and assured the inhabitants that be would give than a proof of his singular an the day after his 'benefit ; but their impatience for finding a new mine, the old one being nearly eshaumed,was such, that nothing but immediate proof c ould satisfy them before they would purchase a single admission 4 Parsons note deemed his scheme ruined, and that he should be obliged to keep Lent by browsing v ith the goats on the mountains until the opening of the company at Shrews bury. He. however, accompanied them to a common in the vicinity of the town. and commenced bin trial in stanter, and to the atter astonishment of Parsons, and the astonishment of the neighbourhood, under the very spot he had fixed upon was found, by boring, a fine vein of coal of no very great depth from the surface. The consequence was. teat his barn was a 46 beeper," and he received a handsome present front the propnetor ef the land.

'bat air. dittoing is consistent and stanch be . feelings useraeds s Portugal may be seen by the follow. ,log speech. , which that Right Hon. Gentleman delivered triter a dinner given him by the British merchants at Lisbon, on the 24 of April, HMI, upon the occasitan of his health being drink: " I am deeply sensible, Gentlemen,. of the honour done to me by this meeting, and I am highly flattered by the sentiments with which you have been pleased to ample my name. "To have been a disciple of Mr. Pitt, and to have been a sharer in those councils in which originated the struggle for the salvation of Portugal, are the two cit.= eminences in my political life, en which, if on any, I look back with pride and gratification. 6 1 It is a pride to one tohave imbibed the principles of Mr. Pitt, and a gratification to receive your testimony of the just application of those principles to the measures by which this country was saved,—principles of which the characteristic was to cherish order and industry at home, as the true sources of commercial opulence and national strength; abroad, to consider the peace, and power i and s a tiety of Great Britain as bound up with the security of other nations. " From this system of internal and external policy. Great Biitain derived the means, and imposed upon herself the duty, of sustaining the long contest with France, which preceded the war of the Peninsula. " In pursuance of that policy, those who had the di. rection of the British councils at the moment when the grasping hand of France was extended to seize the Crown and liberties of Portugal, did not hesitate to fly . to her assistance; the good sense, the feeling, and the 'generosity of the British Nation went with their Govern atenrin the undertaking. But sanguine and visionary enthusiasts, I well remember, were they deemed to be, who thought that from the struggle for Portugal might issue the deliverance of Europe! Such an enthusiast I was, and always avowed myself to be. I made this *vowel even in times when the contest was most doubt , ful, and, by many, held to be desperate. " True it was, that clouds and darkness occasionally gathered on the horizon ; but, even through thole clouds, and through that 'darkness, I saw, or fondly fancied I saw, a ray of light which promised to pierce the gloom, and . might hereafter lighten all the nations. " It is not at this time of day, or in this spot, that I am called upon to justify those hopes against .he im putation of extravagance. Whether as a just and II& Wild consequence of perseverance in a good cause, or whether by the special favour of Paoviorecz, true it is, in fact, that from this nook of Europe proceeded that impulse by which its mightiest kingdoms have been est free: true it is, that in this steal and unpromising son was deposited the seed of that security whose branches now overshadow mankind. From these recollections and usociations the land in which we are assembled derives an animating and classic interest even in the eyes of the most indifferent observer. For my own part, I cannot view this city in which for so many months of horror and anxiety the hopes of Europe lay tremblitig for their doom,—l could not traverse t ho se mighty fast nesses of nature which f e this capital, those bulwarks behind which victory h f retired to new plume her wings for a flight more son lig and more sustained,. I could not cOntemplate th holy ruins amongst which hasrebeen wandering, wean awful curiosity pauses to inquire'ethethee the surrounding destruction has been wrought by ancient convelsiOns of nature, or by the sportive sacrilege and barbarous malignity of the foe,—l cannot behold the traces of desolation in this country, and of suffering among the people, .widsclut rendering a just homage to the character of a nation which by all that it has done and more, by all that it has endured, has raised itsel f a pitch of moral esti ,nence so far beyond the proportion of its territory,' p.. pulatioe, or power. " I cannot consider all these things without blessing that wise and beneficent policy, which brOught Ear land with timely speed to the aid of such a nation—so call forth its energies, to Marshal its resources, to sup. port and invigorate its unyielding constancy, and, after its own deliverance was achieved, to lead it forth in pursuit of its oppressor. 66 To have fought together is such a cause—to have mingled banners, and to have mingled blood, In battles of such interests, and leading to such results, must un doubtedly cement an eternal union between dip British and Portuguese nations. . 14 You will observe,'Gentlemen, that I am anxious to state the principle of our connexion, and of our claims upon each other, in terms, not of comparison, but of equality. Ido so with sincerity, because I believe that statement to be just-i-I might do so from policy, even if I doubted of its justness. 66 Portugal would not have been saved without England, it is true; bat Portugal was to England , * main instrument for the mightier tail: which England had to perform. We brought hither councils, arms, and British dis cipline and British valour ; we found here willing hearts and active hands—a coofialbm Government—a people brave and enduring, docile in instruction, faithful in folloviing, patient under privations, not to be subdued by disaster, and not to be intoxicated by' success. The arm of England was the lever that wrenched the power of Bonaparte from its basis: Portugal wä thefulauen on which that lever moved. England fanned and fed the sacred fire ; but Portugal had 'already reared the altar on which that fire was kindled, and from which it mounted, brightening and videning, until the world was illumined with the blue. " I have said that, even from motives of policy, I would state as nearly' qual as possible the balance be tween Portugal and England. There is a principal of disunion in unequal connexions. Active beneficence is a virtue of easier practice, thaw forbearance after having conferred, or than thankfulness after having received,* benefit. I lows not, indeed, whether it be a greater l i and more diScult exercise of magnanimity for the one party to act as if be had forgotten, or fot the other esti he constantly remembered, the obligation. Oa the part of Great Britain, let us bear in lAA that the kitbags to which we addressed ourselves ini Portugal, were those of national pride and indepen.; dsace. lf those feelings were found equal to the oces sle* what wonder. or what regret, that they Amid' i have survived it ? It is naturally to be expected, that lhaving accomplished the overthrow of its enemies, the 'genius of the nation should carry itself with somewhat of a bolder and freer port, even towards its friends. We have no right to feel this sorely—it would be neither just nor becoming in us to do so. We should respect, even in its excess, an indelfendence that we have egl dicatelf, and should pardon eves the weyeraedhom er a ispitjt *hick we have raised. -/ r Potingal. om the other haul, I wield = to t: *Mil no humiliation - In 'the sentiment let i(rittlttade; that a grateful mind ie at once ledibted and d . tseharged, and recovers its level, by a jest acknoln. ledgment ; that there is no room for either commercial or political jealousy between Great Britain and Porta, gal; that the world is large enough bo.h for Perte. ,guest and British commerce; and that Great &kat% whole she has never been wanting to her Ally in time 1 0 1 need, seeks no other reward for all bar exertions, and till her sacsifices, than mutual confidence and common prosperity. I am sure that I shall he rightly nude% stood by all those ic whose presence I spe k, not only l as to my meaning, but as to my motives. The delicacy of the situation in which the local Government of thit kingdom is placed, the weight of their responsibility. and the anxiety which (as 1 have witnessed) necessarily attends it, entitle them to peculiar corfsideratitin:l. have no fear of their disavowing the assurances which & give you of their friendly disposition towards the meet. , ng ; and I venture, therefore, to propose to you, Gen tlemen, in the confidence that you will receive it sorb dially, and that your cordiality will be duly estimated and seturried— , The health of their Excellencies the Governors of the kingdoms.'" MEETING ow SHIPOWNERS AT NEWCASTLI. Saturday, a Meeting of Shipowners was held at the Trinity House. to take into consideration the distressed state of the Shipping interest. smd the means of affording relief.—The Roo. H. T. Luteati.. M.P. was present. The Chair was taken by Mr. JACKSON, the Trinity Masten, The Hon. Member for Northumberland stated that he had come down from London for the express purpose of receiving instructions from the shipowners with re. spect to their views on the alteration in the Navigation Laws, previous to the subject being discussed with Mr ( Hu‘kisson and his Majesty's Ministers. Mr. Rtcusloun observed, that since he had bad the honour of presiding at the Meeting at Shields, be bad received assurances from several shipowners in different sea ports in Scotland of their subscribing towards the expense of sending deputies to London, and their highly approving of the efforts of the Shields shipowners to in duce the Ministry to return to the salutary laws area. Wished by our ancestors. Without them, he contended. nothing but the foreign flag would be met with at sea; and, for his part, he would rather that the Baltic trade were totally abandoned than carried on by foreigners. The Hon. H. T. Ltonsta. said, that in a converse. don he bbd had with Mr. Huskisson en the subject, it appeared that, previous to any alteration in the Na. vigadon Laws, the Prussians could both build and nevi. gate their ships at a cheaper rate than.the English could. In this Mr. Richmond acquiesced, but' added, that en referring to his statement, which was published la a pamphlet 'moue week. ago it would be seen hew impossible it was foe twee omoprte with the foreigner in the Baltk trade. Mr. G. STRALKILIt noticed the strangeness of the man. ner in which this Meeting bad been got up. For his part, he knew nothing of it till he arrived in Newcastle, though two of the Committet came up froin Shields with him in the same steam boat. With re gard . to the price of foreign ships, he 51M.:20 difficulty-moor cam. peting with the foreigner. Government bad only to reduce or abolish the dutron foreign oak timber, which was 21.

In his opinion the shipowner bad no tight to complain, He possessed a monopoly which no other country could boat of. Look w the East and West India trade, our Coasting trade, and all the Lumber trade from North America, in which so large a capital of the Carrying trade of the shipownst of this part of the kingdom was embarked. Mr. Rayne concluded by stating it as his opinion that the present distressed state of the shipping arose from its redundancy, and it was not reasonable for the carrier to expect to bet employed when the merchant and manufaeinter had no occasion for his services.. Mr. G. T. Dune observed, that In a meeting o f this kind, where there was so mach deselteri conversation, Rood was to be eapected, and he therefore 'proposed that the meeting should be dissolved.
