Private letters received from Ferrol state, that a 74 ship cf tl e line, and a 50 gun frigate, with several smaller vessels laden with all kinds of stores, were on the eve of sailing for the Ifavannah. Caraccas Papers to the 13111 July, and Sydney Papers to the 28th May, have been received, but they supply no news of consequence. Extiact of a le:ter from a passenger landed at Ports- mouth yesterday from New York, and posted up at the North and South American Coffee House : POSTSCRIPT TO HIS LETTER. " I do not know it may concern Any of my friends in Lmdnn to know, that the day before we left New York (the 29th of August) intelligence had arrived there of the disembarkation of from five to 6000 troops from Ilavannah, on the Mexican coast at Panuco, from u Spanish fleet which remained off the coast. A sloop of war was ordered to sail immediately for Mexico; rumours added much to these effects, but I do not think it safe to repeat them:' The additional French Papers of Thursday are sin gularly barren of political intelligence. The Journal des Zkeats states, that one of the Packet-boats plying between Corsica and France had been visited by an Algerine cruizer, and that a vessel Conveying a great number of Greeks to Marseilles, bad been sunk at a short distance from that city, by a corsair from the same Regency. If the latter statement be true it will be difficult for the French Ministers, notwithstanding their friendly disposition to wsrds the Ottomans, to avoid taking serious notice of so gross an insult and offence against the French flag. It is not impossible. therefore, that should similar acts be reiterated, the Turks, or at least their Dependents, may at length bring down upon themselves the vengeance of a Christian Power, which would have continued to slumber, bad insult and desolation struck no other victims than dune who struggle and bleed for the Christian Faith In Greece. The tendency to imprOvement in the manufacturing • districts, so fu from baying sustained any check in the tonne of the week, has fortunately manifested no slight degree of seeders tion. 'The woollen trade, which all along maintained itself better than the, cotton, hal proceeded in the race of improvement ; and ' even the cotton manufactories are sensibly becoming more active The warehouses of Liverpool are already considerably relieved; and the Branch Banks having by.dtle time most seasonably come into operation in Lancashire, will assist the manufacturers by an- Win them to avail themselves of the demand thus created. From the Caraccas Papers of the 12th July, we haye received from Cumana the holarador del Uronoco, of the 10th June, in which we observe the following passage, in reference to a resolution passed in Valencia on the 29th April:—." Many assert, that even-now, in spite of the explanation given us of this and subsequent events which have taken place in Caraccas, a certain air of mystery is to be observed, and a ve;l is drawn over their true character, which ought to be removed for the satisfaction of all parties, inasmuch as the public tran quillity and repose demand it ; this obscurity may indi cate the hypocrisy and bad spirit which animate those who direct these events." THE MARINE FESTIVITIES AT DOVER, Stresuiss if, Pm o'CLocx. P.n. This moment the Regatta is ended, and a more bril- liant scene was scarcely ever witnessed. There were at least 10,000 persons present, many of them of high rank and distinction, assembled on the Marine Parade and Shores, and on the Pier. The Sweepstakes of 45 sovs. which excited so much interest, was won by the Deal Galley, beating the Diver Galley by 40 seconds only, although she lost an oat in the contest. Tt.e Folkstone Boat, which was the favourite at starting, soon lost ground, and mild not recover, and many heavy bets were consequently lost by her backers. The weather was most beautiful, and the Bay covered with yachts and sailing boats ; amongst which, Sir Godfrey Web ster's superb vessel, the Scorpion, dressed with colours of every kind, was conspicuous. The Prizes were dis tributed to the winners by Mrs. Jenkinson, the Lady of the Lieutenant• Governor of Dover Castle, who, in the most pleasing manner, congratulated each on his suc cess; adding her best wishes that the gratification af- forded to the Public this day, rosy be renewed by the repetition of the scene next par. The ball this evening is expected to be crowded to excess. WINDson, SEPT. 22.—Yesterday afternorm and this day his Maixery left the Royal Lodge, about three o'clock, in his pony phaeton, accompanied by the Marquis of CONYNOHAM, with his usual attendance of outriders, for bis customary drive in the Great Park. His NIAMITY continues in the enjoyment of good health and spirits, occupied during the fore part of the day with public business, enjoying an airing mostly of three hours' duration in the afternoon, and honouring his suite with his company at din ner in the evening. There are no visitors at present at the Royal Ledge. The Duchess of KENT, accompanied by the Princess FIODOILIC, and attended by the Baroness de STAMM' and Captain clamor, honoured the performance of Before Breakfast with their presence on Thursday evening, at the English Opera House. Letters were sent off from town yesterday to meet the Duke of CLARENCZ at Brussels, where his Royal Highness is shortly expected to arrive, front Meiningen, at which latter place the Royal Duke has been staying, accompanied by his Duchess, on a visit to the Duchess's mother, the Duchess of MaININOEIC The Duke of YORK took his usual drive yesterday afternoon in his open barouehe for about two hours. The Loan Citar.ert.t.oa visited his Royal Highness yesterday afternoon. Sir Hume HALroan and Mr. M`Gaztroa visited the Royal Duke yesterday. Mr. KRAUS, the King's Messenger, was sent off on Thursday evening from the ,Furrlgn Office, with despatches to Mr. Secretary Camino, at Paris. Despatches were sent off yesterday from the Foreign Office to Sir CHAIM'S Saone, our Ambassador at the Netherlands; also to Lord lhoostrlato, our Minister at Stockholm. A French Journal gives the following description of Mr. Secretary CANXING ;•••-•" His exterior is highly prepossessing, his eyes vivid and expressive, his forehead bald, and of a character from which our modern physiologists would draw the most Batter ing inferences. The smile which lightly compresses his lips gives In his whole countenance an air of railery, conformable to the idea which we entertain of him from his public orations." The Lord Melville steam packet arrived at Calais on Thursday evening, after a dreadful passage from London of 2$ hours. Among the passengers on board was Mr. E. G. WAicermo. The Adelphi Theatre in the S:rand is in high bustle of preparation fcr its opening, and by the first week in October, will present several new, and, as we hear, strong claims to the public favour. The new Proprie tors Messrs. Terme and YATES, have been unremit tingly employed to strengthen their well regulated establishment in every department. The Vocal, we understand, is likely to receive some eminent additions, and they have fortunately been able to arrange the Corps de Ballet on a very liberal and extensive scale. To the effective list of the old favourites, IVRENCU, T. P. Coos e, who has been gathering laurels in Paris, the Proprietors themselves, and the clever and fasci nating Mrs. FITZWILLIASI, several new claimants will be introduced upon the boards of this popular theatre. RAMSGATE, SEPT. 20.—At half past two, P.M. on Monday last, the Committee of the Trustees of this Royal Harbour went in procession to the foot of the Cliff, where stone stairs have been built instead of the decayed wooden ones, for the use of the masons, artisans, and labourers employed in the public works of the harbour. Sir Wsi Cosurts went round in his carriage to the head of the stairs in Nelson Crescent, when he alighted, and the ceremony of opening them com menced. The men, all cleanly attired, the masons with new white aprons, were drawn up on the stairs, and vast crowds of the inhabitants were assembled. The Hon. Baronet addressed them all as Chairman of the Board of Directors on this occasion, stating the regulations under which the stairs would be open to the Public, and concluding his speech with a loyal cry of " GOD save the Kam !" which was received and repeated with loud cheers, after which the assemblage dispersed, and the men were regaled with a pot of Messrs. Barclay and Perkins's best double X a piece. Saturday morning, Mr. Carpenter, surgeon, of O:tery Sr. Mary, was out shooting on Cotleigh Farm, with Mr. Thomas Yelverton; they were both its a coppice, when Mr. C. left Mr. Yelverton, and went towards the hedge to go into Fluxton Farm. He had not left more than a minute, when Mr. Yelverton heard the report of a gun, and immediately atter a deep groan. He ran to the spot, and saw his friend falling at the opposite side, of the hedge ; on going there he found Mr. C. with his feet upwards against the hedge, and blood gushing from a wound in the upper part of the breast, towards the left shoulder. He took the deceased in his arms, who looked at him, but was unable to speak, and died almost instantly. It is supposed that in getting over the hedge the gun which he carried accidentally went off, and lodged the contents in his body. An Inquest was held by Isaac Cox, Esq. the same afternoon, and a ver dict of " Accidental Death" returned. SYDNEY, (NAM.) MAY 26.—Saturday the following Bush Rangers received sentence of death : Mathews, Brady, Pstritk, Bryant, Goodwin, M.Kenny, Gregory, Tilly, Brown, and Hadgretts. Four were executed yes terday, and this morning the remainder. t• COURT OF COMMON . COUNCIL, • A Court of Common °Wadi wet held liittristist Guildhall, for general business. The New London Bridge Committei pre'sented a Report for the City Seal being affized to a deed of security to the Lords of the Tteasury, for the advance of at further sum of 20,0004 towards the works of the New Bridge, which wus.read and agreed to. A petition was presented from the corn factors and corn merchants, respecting the charges for the metage, lineage, and porterage of grain, which was referred to the Coal and Corn Committee, to investigate and report forthwith, and also to report a table of rates for the Fellowship Porters. The Court referred it to the Committee for general purposes, to consider what improvements could be made for the better con venience of the Court of Requests. The thanks of the Court were unanimously voted to the Rev. Mr. Dillon. Chaplain to the Lord Mayor, for his sermon preached at St. Paul's, on the first Sunday in Trinity Term, and he was requested to print the same, and band a copy to each Member. EDINBURGH, SEPTEMBER 21. —.ow— ORANGZ RIOT.—The influx of Irish, with their igno rant and turbulent habits, has long been felt as a serious grievance in this city, and the old inhabitants of the Cowgate particularly complain of the weekly riot which takes place on Saturday night in that formerly peaceable place. la these contests some hundreds are said to be arrayed on opposite sides. This disposition to disorder is farther inflamed by animosities political and religious, which the Irish bring with them into this quiet country. They are formed, it appears, into Orange Societies, which are the objects of deadly animosity to the other side. A disgraceful riot took place between eight and nine o'clock on Tuesday night, on the Dalkeith road, between these hostile factions. It appears that a party of sinteen men (accompanied by two women) belonging to the Orange Society in Edinburgh, had been deputed by that body to proceed on Tuesday to Dalkeith, for the purpose of forming a similar association in that place. On their returning home in the evening, they were met by a large body of Irishmen, armed with sticks and bludgeons, about two miles from Edinburgh, when the conflict began, and after a violent struggle some of them were knocked down and severely hurt. Six men were brought to the infirmary last night ; one has got his arm broken; two are severely cut about the head and face ; the others are more slightly wounded.— Twelve men were apprehended, and lodged in the Police Office on Tuesday night, on suspicion of being concerned in this riot. N~~ .. r ‘ EVILS OF RESIDENCE ABROAD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Amongst sources to be enumerated of evils atising from the residence of such numbers of our countrymen on the Continent, must not be overlooked the fatal in fluence it has so lamentablyand sn largely produced in the visible relAzation of morals in their indiscriminating intercourse with the multifarious characters they meet abroad. The licence taken by our conn'rymen in this respect, though it may be argued that the licence is in most cases confined to such promiscuous assriciations while abroad, is one upon which they would not, neither in fact could, act at home, is however one attended with far more serious and lasting consequences t'san is gene rally sopposeci. Amongst the many that emigrate from motives of admitted economy, with the declared object of husbanding reduced incomes, and by a few years judicious retrenchment repairing a dilapidated rent-roll. It must also be remembered that there are others, not few in number, who quit their country for very different reasons, and who'are actuated by very different grin ciples. Without intending to enter at all, at present, into the question of the policy or the patriotism of such a desertion of our country, at a time above all when the expenditure of Englishmen's resources on their native domains would be of such essential service to the suffer ing labourers of their country that so urgently need all their assistance and co-operation, we are now only argu ing on the effects as we see them produced by this spirit of absenteeism. Others, quitting their country in consequence of not the most creditable necessity for exile, compelling them to seek a seclusion from their creditors, and to avoid the payment of debts they have either not the means, or the principle to defray ;--and others, also, finding in the licentious relaxation of Continental freedom a more congenial soil suited to their depraved taste, Hoak abroad AS to the general sanctuary from moral restriction and control. What is the natural effect of this admixture of those classes, thus brought by the points of concen ration in which they often meet, into a contact that could not have occurred in their own country ? Un known abroad, in many instances these questionable characters gain admission into society there in which 'hey would not even be tolerated at home ! The con sequence of such indiscriminating intercourse is evident, by the imperceptible insinuation of the loose opinions and practices, and relaxed habits and dissolution of all those holier ties of moral restraint influencing them at home, into the minds and morals of our Continental countrymen. Those who live much abroad well know the painful fact, that on the arrival of friends yet unsullied by the infectious influence, constantly express, not merely their astonishment at the existence of such dissipating habits amongst foreigners, but their bitter regret to see their own fellow-countrymen poisoned by the demoralizing practices. Were they perpetuated exiles, thetvil might not be the subject of such painful regret, as they would not thus be the propagators of the noxious seeds by re turning with them to their native shores. But they re turn, alas, thus infected, to their native hearths, nor to remove the peaceful and innocent habits in which they once indulgei, but come back dissatisfied with what they now call all its triste and tasteless pleasures, to introduce the frivolous and degenerated costumes of foreigners in dress and manners, as foreign from Eng lish principle, as they are hostile and opposed to Eng lish feeling.—Yours, truly, PHILO-PATRIS. P.S. The evils to which this letter adverts may be extended In nearly its whole application to a foreign education, which must more or less participate the debasing influence of that promiscuous inter mixture of characters thus insensibly insinuated into the minds of our youthful compatriotst But on the fatal effects of a Continental education, and some other unnoticed evils of our schools abroad, I must reserve some further remarks to a future communication. GLASGOW, SEPT. 21.—We are happy to learn that trade in the manufacturing districts is gradually im proving. The demand for our goods is on the increase, and our manufacturers are daily giving employment to an additional number of operatives. The prices offered, l and the wages of labour, are, however, still very low. Glasgow Courier. THE NEW SYNAGOGUE. This Synagogue, which is erected in St. Alban's*. place, St. James's, was consecrated osi Thursday by Dr. Ilititstnito, the Chief Rabbi. This solemn cere mony was introduced by some excellent music, and the forms observed, being according to the Levitical law * had an impressive effect. The visitors wept, very nu. merous, and of the first respectability. The building itself is elegantly neat, richly orna- mented, but totally divested of tinsel embellishment. The Synagogue is a long square, containing 500 sit tings for Gentlemen on the ground floor, each seat numbered, with a moveable desk before and behind the sitter, and a locker for great coats and cloaks. A gal lery, supported by quoins, goes ions ezgticielatsivwocisridfeosratnhde entrance end of the building ;h ladies, and holds sittings for 300, all numbered. This gallery is fenced by a light trelliswork of verde an tique, forming a modest screen to the ladies, though no interruption to their seeing or hearing. The altar is a superb piece of architecture, the apex aid entablature supported by four lonic columns, and six lonic pilas ters, with gilt capitals of the Corinthian order, all of highly polished green scagliola. The Ark is approached by a fight of five oak steps, covered with Brussels car peting, as is the floor of the altar. before the gates of the Ark is a richly embossed veil (or curtaia) of crimson silk. In the centre is a Hebrew inscription, encircled by palm branches, surmounted by an imperial crows of gold embroidery ; the curtain withdraws on a brass rod by silk cords and tassels, displaying the oak gates of the Ark, where is deposited the written Law of Moses, called the Sacred Scrolls. On the right hand of the altar stands a light and elegant tripod, bearing nine lights, in commemoration of the victorious battles of the Maccabees. On the front rail of the altar are four metal candelabra, highly gilt and burnished, having each a wax flambeau of the same height; on either side of the doors of the Ark are silver ewers and basins, used at particular ceremonials. Three very large chandeliers, of 24 lights each, are ranged down the centre of the ceiling; between the spaces nearer to the sides are eight others, of 12 candles; suspended round the galleries are ten smaller; and on the rail of the gallery trellis-work tall lights are placed about three feet apart. Tht ceiling is divided into compart ments, supported on groined arches. In the centre of the floor are the reading-desk and orchestra, also illu minated by triped candelabra. There is no organ, but in other respects there is a complete band, consisting of violas di gamba, horns, trumpets, violins, and a piano. The circumstance of the Hon. A. THELLUSON having brought her husband a son and heir, a few days since, has given rise to sonic conversation on the extraordinary will of their relation. Parma TmaLi.nsou. Pyres. ISAAC Tim.Luson was a native of Ge. neva. He settled as a merchant in London, where he acquired by his industry an enormous fortune. He died at his seat at Phis. tow, Kent, 21st July, 1797, leaving three sons and three dauehters. —To his wife and children he left about one hundred thousand pounds. His large estates in 'Yorkshire, and the re due of his for tune, amounting to up Nards of five hundred thousand pounds he left to trustees to accumulate, and be laid out in the purchase of estate in England, till the male children of his Sans mut grandsons are dead. This distant period may extend to 1W years, in which case the property will then amount to one hundred and forty millions, and if there should be no lineal descendant, this astonishing property is to go to the use of the country, to the benefit of the Sinking Fund, under the direction of Parliament. This extraordinary will was disputed by his surviving family, but it was affirmed by a solemn decree of Chancery ; though afterwards an Act was passed by the means of Chancellor ROSSLYN, to prevent the recurrence of so ex travagant a desire of private accumulation. An Inquest was held at the Coach and Horses, Dover street, on the body of T. Barrett, an infant, five weeks old. The deceased was the child of a soldier now quar. tered at Deal, who had left his wife in Dublin till after her accouchement. Wednesday she arrived in Picca dilly, and enquired, but unsuccessfully, for a lodging. Sile then sat down en a step, and offered the infant the breast, which it refused. A Gentleman came up, and questioned her, to whom she stated her case, when he said he would send one of the beadles to her, but the child died before any one arrived. Read, the beadle, said, on hearing the case, he hastened to the spot, when he found the infant a corpse, and the mother in a very bad state of health. 114 instantly procured her refresh. ment, and conducted her and her other child, twenty months old, to the workhouse, where every care was taken of them. The Jury returned a Verdict, Died by the Visitation of GOD ; and at the instance of the Coro ner, who set the example, contributed liberally to the poor woman's relief. THE LATE FRACAS AT BRIGHTON.—The placard continued in Mr. Barrow's house till Saturday, with the condition of " Still beware, Etc: the house is not yet cleared." On the afternoon of that day the bill was taken down, and the handbill was subsequently posted about the town, detailing the circumstances which ap pear to have led to this step, and of which the follov• ing is an extract : " Three &Clock, Saturday Afternoon.—Mr. Witten has just called upon Mr. Barrow, and offered to suffer him and the police officer, Mr. Penfold, to go over the house ; upon which Mr. Barrow and Mr. Penfold, accompanied by Mr. Witten, went over the house; and Mr. Barrow having satisfied himself as to the state of the house, and Mr. Witten having undertaken that the two women who were in the house, cleaning the same, should quit the same as soon as it was cleaned, Mr. Barrow returned to hid own house, and took down the placard which has bees so often al. uded to." Little has been talked of in the town during the week but this extraordinary affair. We do not find, from all which is publicly known, that any disturbance was caused to the neighbours by Mrs. Forrest and Mrs. Langdon, beyond the fact of numerous Gentlemen going in and out of the house. At the first examination which took place, the Magistrate (Sir F. Muroan,Bart.) stated his opinion that the placard put up in Mr. Barrow's win dow was libellous; In the bill to which we last adverted, the name of the owner of the house was published, and a threat was al.o conveyed of disclosing the names of other Gentlemen who have frequented the houw, and who have threatened Mr. Barrow. "The number of persons," says the handbill, some of whom are known to Mr. B arrow by name, and most of the others per sonally, that have frequented the house,egceeds belief— comprising noble, honourable, and reverend persons, gallant officers, and finished Gentlemen; and of all ages from 17 to 70 years—.ay, from the stripling youth, to age nearly upon crutches."—We understand that Mr. Barrow has, since the above affair occurred, been much annoyed by persons knocking at his door ; and that he and his clerk sleep with loaded pistols in their rooms.—Brighton Gazette. In a li;tte town in Germany the pirectors of the Theatre, seeking todraw a house, advertised that, in a bielatdrante which was to be performed, they would exhibit the head of a noted robber ; and in order to effect this, one of the scion was placed in such a manner that the head alone was exhibited upon the table; hut a wag willing to have a laugh at the expence of the Manager, day placed a small quantity of sneezing-powder In such a manner that it came in contact with the nose of the minded robber's bead, .nd caused it to burst into a violent fit of sneezing, to the great ..nusement of the audience. 1. f I
