Her Royal Highneu the Princess Augusta attended Divine service In the morning. at the Chapel of Ease, yesterday. as usual. Her Royal Highness has taken carriage exercise almost every day during the past week, and expresses much pleasure on finding the drives In the vicinity so much more picturesque and beautiful than she bad anticipated. Every day adds to our stock of noble and distinguished visitors. Prince LEOPOLD came to town on Wednesday after noon from his residence at Claremont. His Royal Highness honoured the performance of Miss FANNY Kotale, in Ronseu and Juliet, at Covent Garden Theatre, with his presence in the evening. The Russian and Austrian Ambassadors, and the Prus sian Minister, had an interview with the Earl of ABER DEEN yesterday, at the Foreign Office. Monsieur ROTH Drench Charge d'Affaires previous to the arrival of the uke de LAVAL MONTMORENCY) had an interview with the Noble Earl, to take leave on his departure for the Continent, having been appointed by his Most Christian Majesty, Minister to one of the Foreign Courts. Despatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial Office, for the Earl of RELMORE, the Governor of Jamaica, and the different Governors of the West Indian Islands. _ The Duke of WELLINGTON and the Earl of ABER DEEN arrived in town on Wednesday evening from a visit to the Duke of BEDFORD, at Woburn Abbey, Bed fordshire. The Duke proceeded to Apsley House, Piccadilly, which had been prepared for his occupation, and slept there for the first time since its resonstruction. His Grace attended yesterday at the Treasury, when the Marquis CAMDEN had an interview with the Noble Duke. The Hon. Mr. ADDINGTON arrived in town yester day from Bristol. A rumour has for some days gone about that Parlia ment will assemble early in January. It is reported that great reductions are about to be made in the salaries of public officers, and that the Ca binet Ministers, with the Duke of WELLINGTON at their head, will set the example by lowering their official in comes at least 25 per cent. It is said that Ministers intend to reduce the duty on West India sugar 25 per cent. The equalization of the East and West India sugar duties is also talked of. Not the slightest doubt now exists of its being the determination of Government to attempt the reduction of the Four per Cents. and no apprehension is entertained of their being able to effect the measure. We hear that Mr. HUME intends to move for a repeal of that most unjust and unreasonable law under which a lodger may, on the very day he comes into his apart ments, have all his goods seized to pay one year's rent of the house. It is strange that such an anomaly has so long existed, for in no way is the lodger's credit or re spectability staked by the tenant to his landlord. Why then'shoul4 he become responsible ? Some most flagrant and oppressive instances have recently occurred. By a letter recently received in Plymouth from a Gen tleman at Fernando Po, we learn that 31 marines out of 40, who went out in his Majesty's ship Eden, some time ago, have fallen victims to that inhospitable climate. The marriage of a certain theatrical syren is said to have realised the drama of Love's Labour Lost. The friends of the late Eugenius Roche, one of the Editors of the Courier, are about to publish, by subscrip tion, some poems which be left in manuscript. We cordially wish success to the undertaking, both from re gard to the memory of a very amiable and respectable gentleman, and for the sake of his disconsolate family, who are left without adequate provision. The Duchess of BEAUFORT has arrived in Bath, and taken up her residence in Catherine-place. We under stand the amiable Duchess visits Bath wider the necessity of consulting its able faculty. Her Grace is accom- Eanied by her three daughters, the ladies Svsaw, Inewcifs, and MARY SOMERSET. A few days ago a young gentleman and lady, who reside in the neighbourhood of the Potteries, Stafford shire, eloped from their friends and set off by chaise for Liverpool. They had not, however, gone 20 miles before they were overtaken, and the young lady brought back to her family. The St. Vincent Gazettes, which are down to the 27th September, announce the death of the Hon. ROBERT GORDON, President of his Majesty's Council of that island, on the 16th, in the 91st year of his age. Arrived at her house in Piccadilly, DONNA JUANA de GoaosT z , Lady of his Excellency the Minister of the republic of Mexico. In Mexico, a traveller must go well armed. There is an extraordinary French Marquise that travels from one part of the republic to the other as a negociante, and being of an intrepid character, has frequently been em ployed by merchants to convey their money from the in terior to the city of Mexico, or from thence to any other point. She was once attacked by two or three men, one of whom she shot without ceremony, whereupon the rest thought it advisable to ride away. Arriving at the nearest town on the road to which this event happened, informa tion of which had already preceded her, she was taken be fore the alcade ; and the two surviving rogues, who had attempted to commit the robbery, now appeared as evi dence against her. The alcalde, with great solemnity, said he must commit her to prison. Hereupon our heroine took A loaded pistol from her bosom, which having cocked, she presented at the alcalde, making this observation— " rne man whom I shot attempted to rob me, and if you do do not allow me immediately to depart, I have another shot ready for, your honour, considering you and the two witnesses accomplices." The case was instantly die charged !—Hardy's Travels in Mexico. THE THEATRES. THE ADELPHI,THESIAPAESE ELEPHANT. We have read, somewhere, of a KING OF SIAM, who when he first conversed with some English merchants, required of them a detail of the common appearances by which the summer and winter were distinguished in their country; and when they told hint of water growing. so hard in the rivers that men and horses and 13411 car riages passed over it, and that rain sometimes fo:i dawn as white and as light as feathers, and sometimes almost as hard as stones, he would not believe a syllable they said ; for ice and snow and hail were names and things utterly unknown to hint and his subjects in that hot climate.—Now just as incredulous would John Bull have been of the wonders of the kingdom of Siam, had not two such remarkable specimens of its prodigies been transmitted to gratify his eager curiosity, as the Ei.c- PJIANT, the unprecedented attraction of the A delphi ; and the twins now exhibiting at Bullock's. The sagacity of the beast, —and the extraordinary phenomenon presented in the formation of the youths, are wonders not more astonishing to us, than the description of the hail and rain and frost and snow to the Kt no of Slam. Our complacent contemporary, the Times, however, is so accustomed to the admiring contemplation of the moral monstrosities of greater beasts (oven in human shape) than the Simms.: Elephant, that the sage " Plural Unit" gravely declares " we must own that her performances fell much short of what we had been led to expect,"—although the learned Pundit, immediately afterwards, " makes confusion worse confounded," by saying, "'strangers as we are, in this country, to the movements of animals of such magnitude, the performance is a curiosity which will well repay a visit to the Theatre.— This is " blow ing hot and cold" with a vengeance. But as we said before ; the moral monstrosities at which the Times daily assists in the political world, have rendered him in sensible to the astonishing display of instinct, tractability, capability, and "presence of mind" which would render the performance of this Elephant instructive even to some men who are now the objects of constant eulogy to the " independent Times," which has the effrontery to " damn with faint praise" the " great moral lesson" taught by the mighty animal. The exploits of the " great object of attraction" are not numerous, but they are wonderfully effective. In the first scene her exertions are confined to petty acts of courtesy, most gratefully performed,—such as culling flowers and presenting them to the Princess Indamora, and the ladies of her court---and then becoming the bearer of a love-letter from the Princess to the Prince Almanza ; and never before did love choose such a "flying post !" The decision of the Empire, by the Elephant's snatching the crown from the head of the usurper, and placing it upon the brow of the legitimate Prince, taking up his lawful Majesty at the same time, and waving his Royal person triumphiantly in air, to the admiration of his faithful lieges; the banquetting scene—the delivery of A lmanza and his comrades from captivity—and, at tho close, bearing the youthful lovers in triumphal procession,—all drew down long-continued bursts of applause. At the fall of the curtain, the audience, in imitation of the Parisian play-goers, called for " the Elephant," and the stupendous animal came forward, evidently accustomed to the whole affair, and waved its trunk in mute acknowledgment of the thundering plaudits. This is a vile trick, how ever, on the part of a sensible people. The perform ances of the evening commenced with a prologue full of point—and pun, of course—very effectively delivered by YATES. Such is the splendor of the pa geantry, dresses, and decorations displayed in this spectacle, that even without the exhibition of the elephant's as tonishing feats, it is calculated to attract spectators for many an evening. It is altogether the most brilliant thing of the kind that hest been seen for many years. By some effort of Theatrical Galvanism, " Billy Taylor," whom we fancied extinct, was resuscitated, and as rap turously received as ever. Consols have continued the whole of the morning at 95i to I, which price was rather contrary to expectation, as it was the general opinion they would experience a further advance ; the Commissioners for the Sinking Fund purchased this day 32 thousand 3 per Cents. Re duced at 94, both for the Sinking Fund and Life An nuities. _ _ In the Foreign Market most of the foreign securities have improved. It is reported that the New York packet of the Bth Nov. is off Holyhead. Letters from Madrid, of the 21st Nov. state that a copy of the armistice is handed about. It excludes all persons who caused the King to agree, on the 7th March, 1820, to the acceptance of the Constitution ! Charlestown Papers are received at the North and South American Coffee-house, to the 28th Oct. They contain the same accounts of the capitulation of the Spaniards at Tampico, as previously received by the New York Pa pers. From the Paper of the 27th October, it is stated " that exertions will be made at the ensuing Session of the Legislature of Georgia, to abolish the Central Bank, lately established by the State. This establishment is said to have disappointed the expectations of its friends." The new finance measures adopted yesterday by the Bank Directors are to this effect :—Lending money on Exchequer Bills during the shutting of Consols, as well as on India Bonds, India Bills, and Bills of Exchange, at an interest of three per cent. per annum, for the period between the sth December to the 15th January next, on sums not under 2,0001. also on the deposit of bullion at the Bank, advances will be made at the rate of two per cent. There is scarcely a doubt that these measures of the Bank Director" will prove very beneficial to the com mercial community. Money will become more plentiful, and discounts will be obtained at the rate of two per cent. The French Rentes, received this morning by the Express, come higher; and the new measures of the Bank have given the Consol Market this morning a very lively appearance. Consols which left off yesterday, after the House was closed, at 95 for the Account,opened l at 94i, but immediately improved to 951 for January Account; and at present may be quoted 951 to I. In' the Foreign Market little doing at present. An American Paper states that the Collector of the district of Rochester made a seizure of a quantity of British broad cloths, and a quantity of calicoes, at Pal myra, and these goods were introduced from Canada, and other large supplies were in preparation to be smuggled in the same way. The British, it will be remembered, boasted on the Tariff that they would evade its provisions, and deluge the Armenian markets with smuggled goods. A report was prevalent at the Coal Exchange on Wed nesday last, that the ship, Captain Cook, a Newcastle collier vessel, had foundered during the late severe gale ; also, that the ship Liberty and Prosperity had been lost, but the crew saved. The reports were not true, as both ships have safely arrived, and their cargoes were entered for sale at this day's market. The captains and crews, though they have experienced severe weather, are all safe. TO THE RIVER NITH Hail, gentle stream! for ever dear Thy rudest murmurs to mine ear ! Torn from thy Baw s, though far I rove, The slave of poverty and love; Ne'er shall thy Bard, where'er he be, Without a sigh remember thee ! For there my infant years began. And there my happiest minutes ran, And there, to filial duty true, The blossoms of affection grew ! —Blest days. when fond parental care First led me to the House of Pray'r, And, full of precepts from above, Inspit'd my earliest slog of love! Blythe on thy banks, thou sweetest stream That ever mired a Poet's dream! Oft, in the intervals of school, I've plung'd across thy deepest pool ; Or, fishing in forbidden time, (If youth could sanctify a crime!) Wtth hazel rod, and fr udful fly, Pnsnar'd thy beauteous , almoo.fry ; In pain have haul'd them up, till when, Pursu'd by lurking fishermen — Away I've flown as fleet as wind, My lagging followers far behind ; And, when the fruitless chase was o'er, Return'd successful as before! • Still, on tby Banks, thou sweetest s•r:lna That glitters to the morning -beam, Hay youthful sports and joys resound, And Love and Poesy abound ; While I, through life, a pilgrim roam, Far from thy Dank+, my happy borne! JOHN Niarrig. FACTS AND FANCIES. THE " GEN DA RMERIF"OF E. LAN D.—The people have been so unblushingly le•trayed by that portion of the'prese which they theneelvei—deceived by vociferous professions of liberal aud constitutional principles—fos tered Into sir, moll and power ; that it is no !onger a matter of astonishment to behold the shameless apostates, like vipers ready to sting the breast that warmed them, leading their willing. advocacy to every species of delusion by which the country may be lulled int.) fancied security and consequent disregard of the silent but rapid stride of measures for the establishment of a military govern ment of the most obnoxious description. The Globe, which owed all the patronage it ever enjoyed to the affectation of nationality and pstriotism, now seeks to mask its too apparent p-ostitution by sneering at the natural and justifiable apprehensions of those whoa e yet honest enough to protest against the uncatstitutional encroachments of power, in whatever shape tl.ey appear, and to warn the people of England of the danger by which their chartered liberties are imminently thrt atoned. Yes, the Globe,—the apostate Globe,—inipudently ri dicules ail remonstances against the introduction of an odious and inquisitorial system of Espionage, and de signates his uncorrupt contemporaries, "alarmists" who can fancy anything objectionable in the eaves-dropping of " the poor men with coarse blue coats and oilskin capes." What will the servile sycophant say now, when the Military Ministers to whom we owe the disgrace to England of an anti-national police, have the hardihood to issue circulars for the appointment of Su no EON 5 to this armed force, as they would to regiments of the line ?—Time was, when the aid of the parish apothecary was sufficient to keep the regular and constitutional watch in health from year's end to year's end ; but our new-fangled watchmen—we beg p:.rdon, our new " Police Officers" —who out of a guinea a-week (whilst they complain of inadequate wages—" pay" wo should have said) find themselves in white kid gloves, scarlet watch-ribbons, and India handkerchiefs, as suitable appendages to the " coarse blue coats, oil-skin capes," and rap-rascalst— cannot dispense with a dispensary of their own, and the appointment of regular Staff Surgeons to bleed, blister, and physic the " gentlemen of the Staff." POLITICAL CONS ISTENCY.—The weathercock Times is shifting again; but it is not difficult to see in what quarter the trade-wind which influences the vane has at length set in. " Constitution" is once more becoming the " mode at Court," and the Wellington Journal mud not " be out of fashion." And thus he sports his liberalities :—" It is surely no small praise of liberty, and experience justifies us in pronouncing, that a free Consti tutional Government is the best, or indeed the only certain safeguard against the tendetszy of Court intrigues, which hold nothing sacred, and least of all, the Sove reigns." After this, we hope we shall have no more plausible suggestions put forth for the recognition of that blood-stained despot, who, having trampled upon the " free constitutional Government," which he had sworn to protect inviolate, and proved how true it is, that " Court intrigues hold nothing sacred, and least of all, the Sovereigns," betrayed his brother, whose Viceroy he was; deposed his niece, the rightful and legitimate Queen; and, traitor-like, usurped the Crown of Portugal. " MODERATION" OF THE AUTOCRAT.—Passing from the approving commentary of the Times upon Constitu tional Government, to his aide-wind abuse of absolute power, we are at once struck by the facility with which our consistent contemporary forms, and re tracts, his judgments—reminding us, by the suddenness of his alternations of " that strange Cirknickaerksey lake in Carniola, whose waters gush so fast out of the ground that they will overtake a swift horseman, and by and-by, with as incredible celerity are sipped up." A few weeks ago the Emperor NICHOLAS was all " mode ration," even at the gates of Constantinople ; —to-day we are told, that, " the accession of ALENAN DER WAS prepared by his father's treacherous and cruel murder; that of NICHOLAS was accomplished through the usurpa tion of a brother's birth-right, and followed by the military massacre of thousands of Russian subjects." What a model of " moderation!" Sir FREDERICK and Lady BAKER, and family, are expected in town to-morrow, from Hastings. NAVARIN.—Some of the Newapapers have given vent to much. obloquy against the gallant Commander-in- Chief, for the purpose of depreciating the Victory of Navarin. It is therefore high time that the truth respect ing the whole of our Political conduct in the East, should be made known to the world ; for rumours are afloat that, bad the gallant Admiral's advice met with attention, no war would have taken place between Russia and Tur key, and our faithful ally would not have been reduced to the deplorable state of prostration which she now presents. If these rumours have any foundation in fact a serious responsibility must attach somewhere or other, for the evils which have resulted from the neglect of this advice ; and for the great increase of power which, a deviation from the straight forvfard policy of Mr. Can ning, has thrown into the hand of the Autocrat of the Missies, whose resources, it was idly hoped, would be ex hausted before the passage of the Balkan could be effected. —Plymouth Journal.

Yesterday evening a snug little meeting of about 20 gentlemen was held in the Vestry Ronm—wr presume upon the general business of the parish. The most important matter that was brought forward was the passing several tradesmen's bills for goods supplied, among which was one of 81.95. ed. which created some discussion. Mr. Cs.ance, on perusing the hill, said he had a decided objec tion to allow it to pass There was one guinea paid to a conk tor cooking the Annie y Dinner! 10s. to the waiter! and lils. for the bite of plate! One guinea to a cook for one day's work ! It was an excess of expenditure that he did not like to see in the parish, nor would he consent to the parish money being applied so such purposes. Sir Flunk Ostsraeav said he could not conceive what erces sky there was for hiring plate on the occasion. When be was in once, they were con'ent to use iron-pronged forks. Two Gentlemen, whose name we did nut learn, assured Sir Francis that the dinner in questim was served up in the plainest style. There was neither turtle nor fowls—only a little fish, some plain joints, and a little pastry. It wait better. they said, to hire a cook and have a dinner served up properly, than allow it to be served up by unskilful persons. Sir F. Omatanre wished to know who had supplied the plate. be cause be should request him to return the amount he received fur the hire of it, for the benefit of the Charity Schools. Mr. CLARKS said he did not thi.:k that such an entertainment should be paid out of the parish funds, es Bich were collected for the use of the poor. (Here the discussion was interrupted by Mr. Bannister, the Churchwarden, objecting to the Reporter remaining in the room, on the ground that be was Dot a householder in the parish.) The Cuariamatt said it was quite irregu ar to allow any one to re main in the room but householders, and ordered the Reporter to withdraw. The mandate was instantly obeyed, and what ehe occurred we have not the power to state. o :4{ it true that the „:VESTION EASILY ANSA% EKED.-15 Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, incorporated by Royal Charter, and consisting entirely of members of the Established Church, have possessed slaves for more than a century ; that every negro child born on their estates is still retained in bondage ; and further, that their system of management is marked by some of the moat cruel characters of op pression ? Yesterday there was a meeting of the Directors, when it was decided that the Bank would advance money upon gold at the price of 775. 9d. an ounce, and at the rate of two per cent. per annum. It was also decided that ad vances should be made upon Exchequer Bills, bills of Exchange, and Indian Bonds, at the rave of three per cent. tin the 15th of January. The sums to be ad vanced are not to be under £2,000, and not for a lea.'. period than 10 days. A notice to the above effect was posted in the Caahier's office. This measure, on the part of the Bank, will greatly aid the project for running up the price or the Three per Cent. Stock in order to enable the Governinant to reduce the Fours. Tim reason, how ever alleged for tie proceeding is the obviating the dis tress which id this time of the year prevails, on account of the scarcity of money. The time is limited to the 15th of January, becacse at that time the dividends will be in course of payinent. Morning Paper. CONN—EXCHANGE. MARK—LANE Dec. 4.
