Nuthing was found to subject her to detention -)The Court de clad that Lieutenant ILt.ts was perfectly justified in his conduct upon that occasion, and pronounced him to be fully acquitted. tattirJay, an ived at Portsmouth his Majesty's ship F , I'vrb. 7s, Captain ADAM M`ICENZIE, from Limi, V,:para Si. and Rio Janeiro, bringing bags of letters and dispatches from these places, with about two n;llions of dollars, merchants property. She left Lima on the 3d of December, Valparaiso 20th 3a talary, passed Cape Horn 15th February , and sailed from Rio 23d of March. Commodore Sir THOMAS liAeey was left at Lima, with his broad pendant in the Cleole fri 4 ate, Captain T. WHITE; the Conway, 28, Captain BASIL HALL, was gone to San Blas ; the Blossom, 28, Captain VERNON, was at Valparaiso ; the Alacrity, 18, Captain Hon. FREDERICK SPENCER, on the passage to Lima. The differences between Lord COCIIRASE and General SAN MARTIN still con tirmeJ, his L'brdship conceiving that his former col -I,ague's patriotism had degenerated into selfish am bition. He has thrown off the Chilian servitude, renounced that flag, and assumed the character of Prot ; tor of the Peruvians ; and, in opposition to laad COCHRANE% authority and ulterior objects, has commenced raising a navy, under the Peruvian flag. It consisted at present of only a corvette and two 1:6-,;s, commanded by English Officers. Lord COCH RANE had left Valparaiso for Guayaquil, with three frigates, and two smaller vessels; the O'Higgins, being found rotten, had been broken up. His Lordship's future operations were not known. He continues a great favourite with the Chilians, who consider him as faithful to their cause. His Lord ::.ip's health was improving. The American ship Franklin, 80 guns, Commodore ETEWART, had passed round Cape Horn, to join the Constellation frigate, at Valparaiso, and protect their trade in that quarter, which was quite as extensive as that of the English merchants. The French have also lapidly growing mercantile interests in South Ame :,ca and the Brazilian territory; the Cloiinde frigate, 60, had gone round Cape Horn ; the Amazon fri gate, a corvette, a brig, and a schooner, were sta tioned at Rio. Not less than 15 sail of French mer eaantmen had recently arrived out from ports of France. The Superb left the Aurora frigate, Cap tain H. PRESCOTT, at Rio; the Beaver, 16, Captain A. *Leas, in the River Plate ; the Slaney, 18, Cap tain H. STANHOPE, had gone to Bahia; the Doris tetjgate, Captain T. GRAHAM, had arrived at. Rio, from Bahia, and afterwards sailed to join Sir THOMAS Raspy, at Lima. Whilst the Superb lay at Rio Ja neiro, a ship of the line, a frigate, and four transports, with troops from Lisbon, arrived there, for the pur pose of aiding the l'rince Regent in restoring his ta et's authority in that part of his dominions ; but not , a d man of the mwas su ff ered to land, except as private individuals, and very few chose to assume this cha racter for such a purpose. The Prince Regent had a communication with the Commander of the troops, the result of which was, that the ships, with the troops oa board, left Rio on the day the Superb did, to re-' tura to Lisbon. Two Russian transports had touched at Rio, 106 days from St. Petersburgh, bound to their settlements on the north-west coast of America. The Colliers at Middleton Colliery have struck for an advance of wages. ,~c THE ARMY. • -"I". • er tines Own Ugh, Demme, nelfotawili A C.

A Bombay Paper, of the 19th December, states, that the cholera morbus has made great ravages at Sherez. One of the wives, two of the children, and the.mother of the Prince perished in the attack, and the deaths during nine days averaged above 210 per day. Accounts from Asseirghur, dated the 10th Dec. mention the Jungle fever prevailing there, and being nearly as destructive as the cholera. More than SOO persons were in the hospital, and two officers, Major MAsitmas and Dr. BUTLER, have fallen a sacrifice to the pestilential clime, in endeavouring to pass through the Jungle. Extract from the Madras Government Gazette, dated the 18th of December, 1821:—" It is our painful duty to record the death of another of his Majesty's Judges in India: the Hon. Sir W. D. EAVANS, Recorder of Bombay, died on die sth instant, after a very short ' illness. Thus thefiench at the sister Presidency has again lost its . only Judge." Papers from Calcutta to the 16th of December re ceived on Saturday, contain advices from the settle ment of Sincapore to the 4th of November, which are interesting as denoting the state of the trade in that quarter. Mr. MORGAN, a merchant of Sinca pore, had recentlir returned from a voyage to Siam, and brought very favourable accounts of - the dispo sition of the King of SIAM towards the settlement. It was feared, however, that the commercial inter course with that country would not, for that season, be on a large scale, in consequence both of the fai lure to a certain degree of the crops, and from the ' ravages of the cholera morbus among the lower orders. The trade with the island of Borneo had experienced a very great increase, scarcely any of the vessels from thence having passed over to Malacca, or to Penang, but giving the preference universally to Sincapore. The trade with the island of Celebes was also flou rishing and extensive, not less than from 80 to 100 of the vessels of that island being in the habour of Sincapore at the date of the setters, besides many that had gone up the Straits. The vessels from Ce lebes generally brought the cargoes of the greatest value, and those islanders had acquired a large share of the carrying trade of that quarter. The trade with Java was limited from the same causes as that with Siam. The pnpulatiun of Sincapore was gra ' dually isecreasing, in consequence of its conutocial prosperity. Mk_ _ money is mosey they want.' rrilk Asi piLWAY. The wretched hovels in our Liberties are crowded to excess with half-famished and famishing beings, oppressed and broken down by the want of the com mon necessaries of life. In many of our streets scenes of woe are to be seen ; and we have been ourselves present when a poor woman, who, unable to proceed further, fell senseless oceur bridge, and would have fallen a victim to starvation and penury, had it not been for the little assistance afforded her by a few humane individuals passing. PROM THZ 'MUM Ji3UIIIIAI. Or FRIDAY. The village of Tulla, in the County of Clare, pre sents a most melancholy spectacle at present: not a part of it but is crowded with persons in the utmost wretchedness, coming from all parts of the Barony to purchase oatmeal. The Committee have been serving it out from six in the morning until five in the evening, and one-half of the poor are not sup plied during that period. The purchasers are so ur gent in their supplications, that it is with the utmost difficulty they, sun be restrained by the Police and Yeomanry, who are called in foi the .purpoie. One woman among the crowd exclaimed—" 0 CHRIST! how shall I face my hungry children without a mor sel to give them r Another woman began to devour her scanty supply rawi 4 A man who purchased a stone of barley said, he should boil some of it on going home, for if he waited to make it into meal, his family' would starve. The extent of misery which prevails in all parts of this county was never before witnessed. A malignant fever has appeared ip the neighbour hood of the town of Sligo. In the , parish of Drume -14 there are two thousand families dependant on the supply of the market, and what ii worse, they have no funds to purchase food. The Committee at Sligo on Saturday distributed about 20 tons of potatoes, which had arrived from Coleraine, for seed, and they took the precaution to cut them, that they might not • used for food. The accounts from Kerry are extremely distressing: , typhus fever is rapidly spreading. The following pa ragraph is extracted from the Western ilereld TRALM MAT 18.— We are grieved to say, that in addition to the present scarcity and general dis tress, the ravages of pestilence and disease are spread ing dreadfully in this county. Typhus fever, the humble, though natural attendant on unwholesome and scanty food, and griping poverty, now begins to rage amongst our starving population. Our Fever - Hospital is crowded, and shortly miserable wretches, sinking under famine and disease, will be seen perish ing in our streets and highways, unless the evil be speedily checked by the judicious hand of benevolence, 'and of this we have now every hope and expectation." The Meeting assembled at Skibbereen declare, that " symptoms of great distress, prodwißkby want of employment, and the failure of the late crops, have been for some time manifeAing themselves among thit poor of this neighboUrhood, and are now assuming a most frightful form, so as to threaten the honors cident to famine, unless efficient means be forthwith adopted to avert that calamity, by providing a supply of food to meet the wants of the most indigent, and to check the advance of prices in this market." On the 16th, a"Meeting of the Inhabitants of the town and parish of Fermoy welt place, when it was stated, that by a late Census taken of the population of the town of Fermoy; • they exceed 5000 persons, and the immediate neighbourhood who will require food in this market may be estimated at as many more, onf-third at least of whop. are reduced to the greatest misery and diitress, arising from the above causes, not having any visible means of support.

The office of " Champion of England" will be no Sineeltre in the hands of Spring, whose challenge Neste has accepted. The contest between these heroes of the ring was on Friday definl ' Lively arranged for £5OO reide, of which £3OO were immedi. ately deposited. Tbe renowned George Cooper has intimated to the Gentlemen of the Scottish and Cumberland Fancy, that before he retires from the Mee Ring, he is desirous of giving Thortsos the Goo.snats, a touch of genuine science at Carlisle Races, the 29th 'September next.. Hickman's gasconade and vaunting in London is not to intimidate the Hero of the Northern Metro polis: George Cooper therefore proposes to fight Thomas Hick ' man, at the time and place above mentioned, for 900 guineas, -in a forty feet ring, to be a fair stand-up fight, half-minute t ime; or for 100 guineas, in a twenty-four feet ring, on the same terms. 'fhe umpires to have a discretionary power to give to the losing man, oat of the stakes, such a sum as they may deem proper, by way of remuneration for his travelling and training expenses, provided the sum to be given is agreed on before the commence ment of the battle. George Cooper having already travelled up wards of a thousand miles to fight Hickman, for the gratifica tion of the London Fancy, thinks he is privileged to demand a meeting at " merry Carlisle." PEDESTRIANISM. . • A hard contested pedestrian race was decided in Sutton Park, near Chesterfield, on the 14th inst. between Thomas Sal e s, of Duckmanton, farmer, and George Maples, of Staveley, but cher, for ten guineas a-side. The distance was one mile, and was performed by Marples in fine style, beating bis antagonist ten yards, in the very short time of four minutes and a half. Weis/Soon, the noted Cumberland wrestler, was thrown at. Kirkbampton, for the belt, on the 18th instant, by Arden of Penton. It was a very fine and severe wrestle. of . 1 I Yesterday evening, on the Dover road, a ferocious dog bit one of the hones in a curricle, in which were a Lady and Gen tleman. The spirited animals set off at a furious rate, and broke the reins. A Gentleman who was walking seized one of the hones by the bridle, and with great adroitness thrust his um brella between his legs, and threw him down, and perhaps this saved the lives of the parties. He was unfortunately thrown down himself, but escaped without material injury. Friday week, Mr. Alums, the slight-of-hand performer, left the Spread Eagle, in Salford, on horseback, with the intention of proceeding to Bullock Smithy. Unfortunately. however, on reaching Bank-top, his horse threw him and tie pitched upset 1 his head. Surgical assistance was immediately procured, but ho was found to be beyond the reach at human aid—life was en drely extinct.

The extraordinary event of two great Sees being vacant at once, presents a favourable opportunity to regulate their monstrous revenues—a measure called for alike by a due regard to the soundest interests religion, and the security of the best principles of constitutional liberty. The Protestant Establishment in Ireland forms an almost inexhaustible fund for Parliamentary corruption, and it is one particularly agreeable to Ministers, as it is very much out of the sight of the British Public. It is, therefore, frequently used for this convenient purpose, with no regard to decency. Thus, a Lieutenant in the Navy has been made an Archbishop—a Member of the Imperial House of Commons a Dean—a Proprietor and Editor of a Newspaper, a Chancellor of a Diocese—and an, Aid-de-Camp, a rich Rector. And all.this in times , when ce moral considerations" have been impudently pretended to influence Government by one member .of it, who, unhappily, has had too large a share in the councils that have prevailed in Ireland.
