The Prince and Princess war:is visited the Royal Military Asylum, and 27 , , eared highly gratified at the appearance of the chialten who are supported and educated in that Lighly- meritorious Institution. Yesterday forenoon, their Royal Highnesses the Prince and-Priacess of DENMARK visited her Royal Higlares, Princess AnotisTA at the King's Palace, Pimlico; after which their Royal Highnesses accom panied by her Royal Highness Princess A uousTA, and Fart of their suite, proceeded in two open carriages, with out-riders, on a visit to the Earl of Livratroor., at Combe Wo od. Yesterday the Earl and Countess of DERBY gave a sumptuous dinner to the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, Earl and Countess of DitaNzev, Earl FORT ESCUT, the Archbishop of YORK, Lady ANNE VERNON, Lord STANLEY, Earl and Countess GROSVENOR, Earl and Countess of WILTON, and a large party of distin guished personages. It is generally calculated that a majority amount itg, some say to SO, others to 50, will defeat the Bill for the admission of Roman Catholic Peers into the Upper House of Parliament. At the head of these, it is understood, is his Royal Highness the Duke of Yorte. The Km/ himtdf is said to be favourable to the measure. The Blindness of Fortune is a good reason why every one should try for her favours. All the Lottery Rust be drawn NEXT TUESDAY, and BIsH is the fa vourite for distributing the Two of £20,000, which, with all the other Capitals, must be drawn on that slay. The reason is obvious, he sold Both the Two of £20,000 drawn last Day of last Lottery. The British sloop of war CARNATION is stated to have recently arrived at Port-au-Prince, St. Domingo, from Jamaica, with dispatches for President Br:iv:a ) , which were immediately forwarded to him at the, Cape, under an escort of dragoons. Sir Thomas BRISBANE and family arrived at Syd ney, New South Wales, on the 7th November. Go vernor MACQUARRIE had taken his passage for Eu rope in another vessel, which was to sail early in January. The question of South American Independence was iiscussed in the United States Senate on the 29th ult. when an Amendment, reported by the Commit tee of Foreign Relations, for increasing the sum to be employed in carrying the measure into effect from 100,000,000 of dollars to 110,000,000, was nega tired. Another Amendment, providing that no' money should be drawn from the Treasury until the President was fully satisfied the proceeding would tot interrupt the friendly relations of the United States, ;s also negatived. Other Amendments shared the arse fate ; but no objections were urged to the prin ciple of the Bill, which was finally ordered to be read a third time. The Government of the United States, like that of this country, is taking measures for the reduction of t the interest of their debt, and it may be a curious spe culation far the financial reader to.compare the two modes of attaining the same end. An Act has passed the Congress, authorizing the Treasury to receive 'subscriptions to the amount of 12.000,000 of dollars Sit the 6 and 7 per Cent. Stock of the year 1812, and rt 1.1,000,000 of dollars of the 6 per Cent. Stock of the years 1813, 1814, and 1815. For the whole or any part of the 6 per Cent. Stock of 1812 and 1813 hich may be to subscribed, the parties will receive .7in equal amount in a new 5 per Cent. StOck, bearing interest from the 30th of June next, and redeemable at the pleasure of the Government in the following manner, viz• one-third after the 31st of December, 1830; one-third after the 31st of December, 1831 ; and one-third after the 31st of December, 1832. For the whole or any part so subscribed of the 7 per Cent. Stock, the subscribers will receive an equal amount in a new 5 per Cent. Stack, subject to redemption, at I the pleasure of the Government, after the 31st of De. cetuber, 1833. By the third section of the Act, an extension of the period of subscribing is allowed, from Ist of July to the -a -of October, 1822, but in that case the interest on the new Stock will com mence from the 30th of September next.

MEETING AT LLOYD'S. Yesterday, agreeably to a Requisition signed by several opulent Subscribers to Lloyd's, a Meeting took place in the Subscription-room to take into con sideration the propriety of giving a sum of money from the funds of the house, towards the Subscrip tion now forming for the relief of the distressed pea• santry of Ireland. At twelve o'clock .1. MARRYAT, Esq. took the Chair, and the business of the Meeting was opened by DEWER, Esq. who strongly advocated the bestowing some money from the funds towards the Subscription. Thi s bei ng seconded, Mr. MARRYAT, on the part of the Committee, stated, that the funds of the Society were at present too low to admit of any such donation as the one proposed. He further stated, that it was the opinion of the Committee, the object of the motion was in direct contradiction of the regulation of the house, which stated that the funds were raised for the pur pose of rewarding merit, or relieving misfortune when they were connected with naval affairs, and cer tainly not to be applied to purposes, which, however deserving, were distinctly unconnected wikeither. After some further discussion it was finally agreed a ballot should be taken on Wednesday next, to a-certain the sense of the Subscribers, after which the Meeting broke up. TRADE WITH CHINA. At a time when the temporary interrup ion of the British trade with China occupies a considerable share of the public attention,. the following remarks on the China trade generally will be read with interest. It is an extract from a Paper prepared, in 18'20, by an Officer of the India House, and printed in the Report of the Lords Committee on Foreign Trade, last Session. " To prevent as much as possible all interriurse with fo reigners, the people of China were forbidden, in she year 1117, by an Imperial Edict, to carry tea from the province of its growth to Canton by sea. The Edict was not issued for the purpose of preventing the illicit trade, and thereby preserving the Imperial duties; but to preclude all intercourse between the Chinese and foreigners during the voyage. And to restrain the intercourse while on shore, the foreigners are only permitted to reside within a small space outside of the city of Canton„ great care being always taken to prevent their entrance into the city, on any pretence whatever. " The Chinese are habituated to consider all othei countries, as subordinate to China, and all the inhabitants of those cous-I tries as greatly inferior to themselves ; whence arises, on the past of their principals, officers and mandarins, a haughty and WINIP.' bearing demeanour in all ;heir official communications with the foreigners who engage in the trade of Canton, and on the part of the merchants, and the other classes of the Chinese, rudeness and insolence, accompanied with the strongest marks of contempt. " Although the English experience a full share of the haugh tiness and insolence with which foreigners are generally treated while in China, yet the Chinese themselves can no more conceal their dread of the military character and power of the British nation, than they can deny their commercial preponderance among the various nations who visit the port of Canton for trade : but that the restrictive guard on the intercourse between the , natives and foreigners may be rendered as complete as possible, no foreigner can make his appearance within the Chinese limits, till one or other of the Members of the Hong has become for mally bound, in a legal instrument to the Government of Canton, for the general good conduct of such foreigner, and for his quiet submission and obedience to the laws and regulations regarding the foreign commerce of the Empire. 6 Smuggling Is a trifling affair, but having a communication with foreigners is a thing which involves vast interest. It is in dispensably necessary to strain every nerve to eradicate the first risings of baseness (or mischief). " The penalty for transgression is confiscation of the articles carried by sea, punishment of the merchants engaged in the trade, together with that of the Viceroys and other officers of the places whence the articles were shipped." Affairs similar to that of the Topaze have before occurred in our intercourse with China. In the year 1807, a Chinese having been unfortunately killed by some unknown person, in a general riot with the sailors, the local Government, as usual, demanded the person who had slain him ; but as the Committee persisted in declaring that they were unable to dis cover the offender; and as the Viceroy found that the suspension of the trade would be attended with the gre.ttest inconvenience to himself, a varnished tale was prepared, and transmitted by him to Pekin, in which it was stated that the man had been killed by something falling on his head nut of a window. • It is sincerely to be hoped that a favourable result will attend us on the present occasion; and that the fre quent recurrence of such embarrassments, pregnant with inconvenience to both parties, will prove to the Chinese Government the necessity of restraining their subjects from acts of wanton aggression. A letter from Canton, dated January 28, says— d' The Company's affairs agaiq appear, for the third or fourth time, to wear a mote favourable appear ance ; and it is thought now th'at the Viceroy has determined to make it up on any terms. A fifth de putation of the Hong merchants went down to the ships to-dsy, and it is confidently hoped they will bring the matter to a final awl favourable settlement." _ , freilleieveriiitarthly selering:' etc' be **Tee feitlitist aleteellious - kin it di ll em es* , the kinensit i . that ipiellstimited, iveab timit, Litovsk nob ia hiellekb yeer,-hietaoer, ablifo is wasting. ire 111.‘the hetwore .et rieertjeJledq*4ll Put the foileeriog &Ina. fiellik K,. lietieVe ; _ _ t _RIIRSIb OW. will Pailltsill adiellestvr:CideidlsllbuenrirSinagstulln hart‘reosll)lt delentek be nrag celled- upoa. to *looms saw ] 00 -PerPeiNt which, every read*. will be. ape . to oil . zinialrei Mrestbe I ia ei Qiistiait 6dr...es wit' 0000 snivels we COnfebe r dare dot true thilezpenssinn dot! feelings, that such inhtinmenitT slkodid elitist in onz a tile lzrge*t and lbw*, wealthy cites* in the &kith Eeligeetl 4 4 On my arrival l a Olaissnir," bays lin later," obsuntak weeks agcy.

This action was brought by the Chevalier Ruspini against the defendant, who was one of the Assignees under a Commission of Bankrupty which was issued against him, to recover the value of certain furniture which the defendant had sold. Mr. Guituav stated, that the plaintiff's father, by will, left annuities to his wife and sons, and that the fur niture in his leasehold house in Pall-mall, was devised to the purposes of the will. The furniture vested . in the plaintiff, as executor of his fathei's will, and was not subject to the claims of creditors. A Commission of Bankruptcy was taken out against the plaintiff, under which Mr. Watts was appointed Assignee. The Com mission was superseded, but whilst it was going on, the Assignees took possession not only of the plaintiff's property, but the furniture which had been left by his father to secure the payment of annuities. Mr. Watts employed an auctioneer to sell it under cir cumstances highly disadvantageous to the plaintifr. The Learned Counsel said he should call Mr. Scott, the auctioneer, who received orders from the defend ant to sell the furniture, and then be entitled to their verdict for the value of the property. Mr. Davis, from the Prerogative Office, produced the will of the late M. Ruspini, probat of which was granted to the plaintiff on the llth of July, 1811. After the will had been read, the Loan CHIEF JUSTICE observed that the furniture in question was vested in trustees, and it did not appear that the plaintiff, as executor, could sustain the action.—The plaintiff was nonsuited. THE KING V. THATCHER. This was an indictment against Thomas Thatcher, one of the Select Vestry of Paddington parish, for an assault on John Child, a pauper, who had applied to him for parochial relief. Two witnesses, viz. Child and Hosier, swore to the assault, and two for the de fendant deposed that Child committed the first as sault. The question was on which side the troth lay. It appeared that Child, who is a pauper with five children, called on the Overseer in August. last for relief. He was told he could not have relief without a note from Thatcher. According to Child's state. ment, he applied to Thatcher in a quiet orderly manner, and Thatcher said, 44 Oh, yes, I'll re lieve you—this is my private road, and if you do. not go. about your business, I will kick you 0ut."... He accordingly assaulted the man, and threw hhu down. The evidence for the defendant proved that Child went, when in a state of drunkenness, to Manor-place, the residence of the defendant, and there behaved in a most gross and insulting manner ; having thrust his elbow in Thatcher's side, a scuffie ensued, and Thatcher was thrown.—The Jury, under all the circumstances, found the defendant Not Guilty. AN IMPOSTOThe Bath Gazette says—" On Fri day, WILLIAM CLARK, Esq. Mayor of this City, com mitted to our jail, to hard labour for one month, as a rogue and vagabond, the • Reverend Chivies Ropers Bond.' fhis man, who is well known is this city and its vicinity, has been in the habit for many years of intruding himself into the houses of the Nobility and Gentry in the assumed character of a Clergyman, under pretence of collecting alms for the counterfeit: purpose of relieving and supporting the family of a distressed Baronet; and so oily was his address, and so unconquerable his pertinacity in pressing his s u i t , that he seldom f A ile.l in effecting his object, either by woi ‘ing upon the chasitable feelings of his victims, or by tiring out their patience. This is tully proved by the memoranda of his pocket - book , which con. . mined a list of contribu tions au.ouuting to near ly eight hundred pounds „ MR. WALLACI. " Mr. Wattrict, whose leg was broken by the oversetting of the coach near New Brunswick last winter, and who was other wise dreadfully bruised, is announced for a Pdit Melange of Read ings, Recitation*, &c. at the New York Theatre. It is own cloned in The .Eyenkse lita, that it is not to be inferred that his recovery is by any means complete. or that the audience may expect • the same or nearly the same histrionic power be was wont to exhibit.' Indeed so shocking a fracture as to shatter the principal bone of a leg in two places, and to force it through his boot, and the other terrible lacerations he under went, could hardly be expected to be perfectly , recovered from as yet. As he is to return to his native land about the middle ' of this month, to aid lam in the undertaking he has been ad- I vised to make this effort for the public entertainment, and we have no question will be greeted with kindness and liberality by an. audience with whom he has always been a favourite."— New York Paper.—The Pailadelpitia Gazette says, " We have be fore us a letter from Mr. Wattacx, dated New York, in which he mentions that he is to perform the character of Capt. Bertram (a !ante 01Bcer) on Monday next. Anxious to see a Philadelphia audience again, and to take a public farewell, it is his intention to visit this City, and give a series of Readings and Recitations, on Monday evening the 15th. He will sail for England on the 16th inst." The nouse of kepresentatives in the United States is said to consist of 97 lawyers, 69 farmers and planters, IS merchants, 15 physicians, four manufac turers. and one clergyman. A melancholy accident happened at a colliery near Dalkeith on the evening of the 24th instant. The miners having accidentally, in working. come upon an old shaft, the water rushed suddenly in upon them, by which means five men and two women, the whole who were in the pit at the time, were drowned. Yesterday a female, residing in Greenhill's-rents, Smithfield, met with the following accident. As She was reaching out of the two-pair window, she overbalanced herself, and warfprecl ' pitated out. She alighted upon the roof of the kitchen of an eating-house, which gave way, and let the greateit part of her body through, but she suspended herself by her arms. The cook, at that moment busily engaged in taking up the dinner, was not a little alarmed at this unceremonious and singular intrusion. Finding, however, that her aerial visitor remained stationary, she called for assistance, and the good woman was soon extri cated from her very rawer/ situation.: What is remarkable, the only injury she experienced was a slight contusion on the elbow ; had she have fallen a few feet farther she must have been preci pitated through a sky-light hito a copper of boiling water. Besmears-an or Horses.—Aa Inquest Was held yesterday at the Turf Tap, Grosvenor-place, Knightsbridge, oe the body of William Diggin, who was killed in Park-lane, by the following accident :—The deceased was conveying a triunity of linen In a cart to the house of Mrs. Fitaherbert, in 'I ilney-street, and as he was driving up Park-lane, a break, that was driving down the same street, by Mr. Swaine, Stable-keeper, came in contact, with a violent concussion, against the cart, in which were the deceased and a little boy, who were thrown out. —The former was killed, and the boy greatly injured by the cart being upset, and falling upon his legs. The break was overturned, and the horses thrown down; Mr. Swaine was pitched from :the box, and considerably hurt. It was stated that no blame was attributable to Mr. Swaine, who did all in his power to prevent the accident; but the horses were com pletely unmanageable. The Jury expressed their opinion that breaks ought not to be allowed to drive along the public streets; in fact, they thought there was an Act of Parliament spiv* the practice. The CORONIUL said, that such an Act might be In existence, and if there had been evidence to prove " a breaking is of hones," or any improper conduct on the part of Mr. Swathe. he should have advised that the Jury should shit him with a h ea vy deodand; but as it was he recommended only a nominal &cecina.
