OFFICL4L CIRCULAR! TREASURY CHAMBERS, JAIMA wr S. 1822. My Lords advert to their Minutes of the 10th August last, respecting the revision of the Establish ment of the , eve , al Public Offices, and also in regard w the formation of a Superannuation Fund, by a per centage deduction to be made from the Salaries of certain Public Officers. Their Lordships having before them Abe Returns made in pursuance of the said Minutes, will hereafter communicate their de termination or orinion thereon to each Office, so far as the Establishment of such Office may be con cerned. But several Rules of general application having arisen out of a review of the Minutes re fetred to, and upon a consideration of the several R eturn s, my Lords are pleased to direct a copy of t h e following Rules and Regulations to be. trans frti ted to the several Public Offices, for their in formation and guidance, so far as they may be re spectively concerned : Ist. The increase of salary for length of service according to • the existing •tales having been suspended by their Lordships' :Minute of the --- April last, they are now pleased to direct that all the individuals who, according to those scales, became entitled to increased salary for length of service previously to the termination of the Christmas quarter of 1821, should be permit ted to receive such increase from the period from which, under the former establishment of the office, they became entitled thereto, and that from the commencement of the year 1822 the new establishment should take place. But every person will re tain the salary to which he may have been entitled at the termi oz:ian of the year 1821, until he may under the new establish ment. hczorle entitled to a larger salary. 2d. That those persons who are in the progress of a period at the close of which they would, under the former establishment, be entitlA to increase of allowance for length of service, shall not lose the benefit of that part of the period which has actually ex pired; but at the expiration of the period which would have entitled them according to the former establishment to increased ralary, they shall receive in addition to their present salary and allowances such proportion of the increase of salary as will cor respond wish that part of the petiorl which had expired up to the end of the Christmas quarter of 1821. 3d. That the application of any new scale for the payment of salaries in any office according to classes, shall in no case give to :sly person whil' he remains in the class to which be now be- I 7g;, any increase of salary at an earlier period than he would h_re obtained it according to the scale which existed immediately Frevious to the termination of the Christmas quarter of 1821. 4. That if by any new classification or arrangement of clerks, or if by any succession to vacancies within a period of three years font the commencement of 18'22, any clerk shall be placed in a class above that in which he is now serving, and to which he would not have attained but for the new classification of the office, or for the vacancies occasioned by the reductions now made, and if the minimum salary of the cla s s to which such clerk may be pronioted should exceed the salary of which he may at the time of the promotion be in the actual receipt, such clerk shall not at once be entitled to the minimum rate of sa lary of the class to which he may be advanced, but shall receive an annual increase to the amount of his present salary equal to the annual increase applicable to the class to which he is ad vanced, until the termination of three years from the time of his promotion, when he shall be placed upon the minimum sa lary of the cl•tss, unless he shall have attained a higher salary by the progressive annual increases, and from henceforth he shall receive the annual increase of salary applicable to the class to which he may be promoted, until be reaches its maximum. sth. That upon vacancies occurring in any of the superior classes in any office, the bituations shall not be supplied by se niority only, but the fittest individuals shall be selected to succeed, by the heads of the department in which the vacancy may occur. 6th. In the cases in which clerks upon the establishment of any office are discontinued in consequence of the present reduc tions, their Lordships would be disposed to grant to them the. following allowances: If they have served less than three years, a gratuity of one year's pay. If three years and under five, a gratuity 9f two, years' pay. If they havo4erved five years, and under ton years, an annual allowance not exceeding one-third of their salaries, until other wise provided for in the public service. If ten years and under twenty years, an allowance lot exceed- 1 ing or.e.half of their salaries. If twenty years and upwards, an allowance not exceeding that to which they would be entitled under the proposed new scale fur superannuation; and if any of the clerks have previously to their appointment upon the establishment of any office served as extra clerks therein, and shall have been not less than three year; upon the establishment, they shall, in computing the allowances to which they may be entitled, have the benefit of such period of service. Their Lordships, however, desire that the cases of al' those persons who may be entitled to such gratuities or allow_ ances, may be specially reported to them, in order that they may sanction the payments in conformity to the Act of .50 George 111. c. 117. 7th. That in lieu of the respective deductions of 15/. 10s. 70. and five per cent. directed by the Minute of this Board of the 10th August last, to be made towards the formation of a Super" annuation Fund from the salaries of aU pet sons holding offices which would give them claims to be superannuated ender the Act of the .50th Geo. 111. c. 117, the following deduction shall be made, from the commencement of the year 1822, by the per- son paying the salaries, from all salaries amounting to tool. per annum and upwards. From so much of the salary of every individual as he would be entitled to, according to any new scale about to be authorized for any Department, or according to any regulations already sanctioned by authority of Parliament or otherwise, a deduction of live per cent. and a further deduction of 10 per cent. from the excess only (if any) of salary, of which he may be in the receipt beyond the salary to which he would be entitled according to writ new sc.& or regulation. _ _ That a deduction of 2i per cent. be made from all persons holding offices entitled to superannuation under the Act of .50 Crorge 111. c. 117, the salaries of which shall eaccod ..C.50, and be less than £lOO per annum. Bth. In the event of any person at present upon the establish ment of any office, from whom a deduction may be made to wards the formation of a Superannuation Fund dying in office, :tld consequently without having had any superannuation allow ante granted to him, the representative of the person so dying shall be entitled to receive the total amount of the several de ,iuctions made from his s.slary, but without interest. ft is not intinded that this regulation should apply to any persons who May be hereafter appointed to the public service. 9th. That every Department shall, as soon as possible, trans mit to this Board, An account of the total numbt:r of each class of &freers, %hilt., and servants, the rate of salary, and the scale of increase apt .c:7) for length of service, according to the establishment cl ammy i,tir,r an the end of the Christmas gust - tel . of 1821.

Stu—The urgent demands made (or a reduction of expense in all Public Establishments, having been very much pressed upon the Commissioners for the management of the affairs of the Royal Military Coll: ge, it has been determined to adopt the alterations in the regulations of the Institution, which ate set forth in the annexed extract. The increase in the rates of the second class is to commence for all Gentlemen Cadets of that class now at the College, from the 25th of December, 1821. The arrangements respecting the first class will take effect at the same time, in so far as those orphans are considered in pe cuniary distress, and these will be charged after the 24th of De cember, 1821, at the rate now paid for that rank in the second class which the father held at the time of his death. All other orphans, however, now at the College, whose claims on the ground of pecuniary elistress are deemed justly admissi ble, will continue on the footing which they have hitherto been. hasten to make these alterations known to you, and re quest to be informed, as soon as possible, whether it he your in tention to continue Gentleman Cadet --- at the College, paying at the rate of (increased rate) pounds per annum, from the 25th of December, 1821.—1 have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, J. BUTLER, To A. B. Lieutenant-Governor. EXTEaCT MOM THE ILIOULATIONS OF THE ROYAL MILITARY COL. nectstsca tl4, 1821.

The orphans of Officers who had volu,:tarily retired on half-pay, are however excluded from admission into this class. Also those of Officers who had retired by the reduction of the Corps, without having subse quently offered their services, with the exception, however, of such orphans as may have 'been born previously to that reduc tion. Only one of a family can belong to the orphan class at the same time. Orphans whose families and connections are not in such circumstances as can fully warrant their being ad mitted into the class set apart for CAWS of real pecuniary distress, are received into the second class at the rate of subscription of the rank held by the father at the time of his death. Second Class.—The sons of Officers, as (ut,dermentioned) actually belonging to the Army or Navy. Subscriptions.—No distinction prevails in consequence of the father being upon full or half-pay.

Nearly the whole of the West-end of the town was for a considerable time last night enveloped in dark ness, from a failure of the gas, NATAL I QinsilC, Dec. IL—Captain JACK sod "the pas...risen of the ship Prompt, of Greenock, from this port to Greenock, with wheat, are come up; they say, that - on the 24th of November last they were as low down the River as Apple Island, or be. tween that and Bank Island, when a hear, gale commenced from the North-East, with thick sleet and now. At ten a. M. were obliged to band their =was, and let her drive— could not carry a sail. On the early part of the 25th, the Alp struck the ground, bat where they did not know: immediately after striking they wore the ship, and shoaling their water a ee -1 cord time, they again wore; and finding-themselves embayed, they let go their anchors after riding a stint time she drove, again struck, unshipped her rudder, and began to make water. —After pumping a long time and finding the leak increase, they prepared to leave her, but not until they found 14 feet water in the hold. They safely landed at ?adonis*, and were received and generously assisted by the people of the North West Com pany. They went out in the boat on the 27th to hiok Tor the ship, but could see nothing of her.

LIVZCPOOL, JAN. 14.—Arrived the James and Agnes, SHAW, from Miramichi: sailed sth December. Siz or seven vessels were lost rear Miramichi, names unknown.

The Sisters, Ca aria, from the South Seas, is in the North Omn i ml, and has sent on shore for an anchor and cable. DEAL, Jaw. 15.—Wind N.N.W.—The wind has been well to the Northward to-day, but blowing strong with the ebb tide has prevented the outwardbound getting their anchors. Several small vessels in the Downs drove • and let go their second anchors. One brig lost both anchors, and proceeded for Dover; the rest of the vessels ride all well. Arrived and remain, the Grand Sachem, Wooowa an, from the South Seas ; and Mary Ann and Isabella, STZTHENSON, from Hull for Rio Janeiro. The Grand Sachem left at Timor the Atalanta, with 600 barrels of oil ; the Castor, with 1,400 ditto ; and the Eliza Ana. Came down from the River and remains, the Swallow, Ross, for Bombay. The Duke of A RGYLR has ordered a deduction of twenty-five per cent.from the rents of his land tenants indiscriminately, over his extensive estates in Argyle shire, for the last year. Joitti B. FLEMIND, Esq. of the city of New York, has sent £2O sterling to be distributed among the poor of his native parish of Hamilton. General SCOTT, of Malleny, on his birth-day, the sth inst. assembled his tenants at Malleny House, when he promised them ten per cent. discount on their leases, until the agricultural interest of the coun try wore a more favourable aspect. Lord KIMTORE, before leaving Drumtoclity, where he has resided for some months past, gave orders that an ox should be killed, and a dinner provided at his expense for them all on New Year's Day. Accord ingly, on that day, the whole tenantry of the lands of Glenfarquhar, with several of their fi iends and ac quaintance, to the number in all of a hundred and ten persons, sat down to an excellent dinner prepared by the innkeeper at Auchinblae. What remained at the great feast, made many a little feast to the poor of the neighbourhood, and the farmers and feuar., with their wives and daughters, concluded the day's entertainment with a ball, which was opened by a ve nerable couple, residenters in Auchinblae, whose united ages amount to 170 years. Between eight and ten o'clock on Monday night a most daring and atrocious robbery was perpetrated on the person of Mr. EDWARD HORSFALL, of Isling ton-green, under circumstances of the most aggra vated nature. The above Gentleman was paving through Cow-cross, on his way home, when he was accosted by a man who pleaded great distress, and solicited his charity to provide his family of five chil dren with some food, for want of which they were starving. Mr. Horsfall, being moved by the man's narrative, put his hand in his pocket and gave the applicant a shilling, in doing which he exposed seve ral sovereigns, which is supposed to have attracted the notice of the fellow, fur almost immediately alter Mr. Horsfall was met by another man, who endea voured to relate a similar tale, but Mr. Horsfall treated him with inattention, having so recently been applied to. The fellow then turned sharp round, and, :nut ' tering some execration, went away. Mr. Horsfall, however, had not proceeded far before he was over- taken by four fellows, one of whom (the villain who had been relieved by Mr. Horsfall) caught him round the waist, another placed his hands over his mouth to prevent his calling out, whilst their confederates endeavoured to rifle his pockets ; but Mr. Horsfall resisted stoutly, and they were prevented ; they then .attempted to steal his watch, but fortunately it was fastened to a guard, and the villains were foiled in this attempt ; however, the violence used was so great that the chain broke, and the robbers fled with two gold seals, a key, and a mourning ring. Mr. Ilorsfall pursued them some distance, calling out " Stop thief!" but the villains succeeded in escaping. The adroit swindler, who some time since person ated Sir THOMAS MAITLAND, and imposed upon a banking-house in town, has been taken into custody in Argyleshire. A few days ago the master clothiers, at Frome, re duced the wages of the weavers from 15d. to 13d. per yard : this caused a considerable agitation, all the men immediately refused to work, and assembled in the streets in so tumultuous a manner, that the Magistrates caused all the public-houses to be shut. The men, however, in a day or two, again returned to their work, and nothing serious occurred. The know ledge of this was soon circulated among the weavers in Trowbridge and the manufacturing places; and on Saturday the town of Frome was completely filled with weavers from all the surrounding country, who came with the intention to deter those of Frome from I peaceably pursuing their employ at the reduced prices. This immense concourse of people continued to crowd the streets of the town until three o'clock in' • the afternoon, when the Riot Act was read, and they i very soon deputed; and returned to their !wring. • - • ~ ] THEATRE. Last night a new Musical Drama, - in Three Acts, was, produced at this Theatre, entitled The Pirate. It is, as our Readers will anticipate, founded on the . last production of that great.unknown, .who contr6-:' butes so larsely to the gratification of the literary and dramatic world, and whose prolific quill • Can ev-ty month with ease a volume fill." Tyro - Dramas on this subject have, with breathless haste," been already produced at the minor Theatres, the Dramatist at this Theatre had, therefore, not only to go over the same ground, but was in dan4er of being anticipated in even anv deviations *frith might make from the original' story ; he has, how ever, succeeded in giving a compressed version of it, in which the most prominent incidents are. not only retained, but they are better connected than in the Novel. The drantatib persona are numerous, but the prinsipal characters were cast as follow : captain Cleveland, the Pirate .. ... Mr. Coors& Brice Saailsfoot, a Pedlar—. ........ Mr. Aluvrom Mordiunt Blertoun Mr. 'Femme. Old Mertouu Mr. Pore. Claude Hakro, a Poet of Zetland Mr. Gwen. Magnus Troll Mr. Lovrast. Captain Goffe Mr. Sure. lieutenant Bunce Mr. HAlll.gr. Norna, of the Fitful Head Mrs. W.Vl' err. Minna, daughter of Magnus Madamelhaeraise • Brenda, her sister Miss Cuairr. The Piece cornmenc.:s with the shipwreck of Cleveland, and his preservation from the waves by Morehead Mertoun. The freebooter's residence in the house of Magnus Troll, where he wins the affections of Aileen, which the author of the Drama has contrived to render more probable than in the Novel, by giving something more of refinement to the character of Cleve land. Noma, the sybil of the Novel, is divested of her super natural qualities, - " at she exercises, by natural means, her influ ence over tge destinies of the sisters and their lovers. The quarrel and duel between Cleveland and Mot-dated, in which the latter is dangerously wounded ; the interference of Aroma, who, by her attentions, restores him to health ; th e meeting bctseetu Cleveland and leditennet Bunce, a brother pirate; their nego tiations for victualling the r vessels at Kirkwall; the imprison- I ment of Cleveland, his interview with Minna in the prison,' and release by Norma; the seizure of Alagoas Trail as a hostage; the attempt of Dunce to carry off both Cleveland and Minna, and make them happy in spite of themselves ; the interference of Mortlaunt, who rescues Minna; the surrender of the pirate, the explosion of the Fortune's Favourite by the Halcyon frigate, are all preserved, and with as close an adherence to the Nov • el as dramatic effect could accomplish. Norma, who bad watched so tenderly ever the fortunes of Mordant:4 under the idea that he I was her son, in an interview with (Ad Meetoun, the partner of her youthful error, learns that Cleveland was in fact their off spring ; her anxiety for her soil whom she suppos e d t o h a v e been blown up in the pirate's vessel, is intense, until relieved by finding that he had been prevented from going on board ; be tomes forward, and she embraces him ; Mordount is married to Brenda, Cleveland is pardoned, and thus the Drama terminates. , It has often been the remark, that the Scottish No vels are ric i p in description, but meagre in theft plot ; and certainly, of all the productions of this 'author, The Pirate is the most faulty in this respect : the dramatist, therefore, had some difficulty to over come in adapting it to the Stage : whether, hov ever, he has made the most of the materials, is perhaps a matter of some doubt. One of the best drawn cha racters in the Novel, and one ca;culated to he the most effective on the Stage, was that of Triptalentus Yellowley, and his siste Miss Baby; and yet they have both been omitted,' and certainly not for the want of performers who could have represented them well. Claude lidera, another admirable character in the Nove), as in the Drama, with the help of Mr. GATTIE'S personation, has been rendered as d 11 as possible. Bryce Snailsfoot, and Lieutenant Bunce, have also suffered in transmutation, though M in the former, infused all his own rich humour into such portion of the author as had been lett to him.— HARLEY, in Bunce, was amusing. COOPER was very effective, though a little too vehement, ev...n for a pirate, in Cleveland. The pensive Miami was given to Maclarre ArFsTRIII, and as some pretty songs, which she sung dtlighttrilly, were given with the character, we saw no reason to regret this, what at first appeared a capriciOrs arrange ment of the Manager. Miss CUBITT, as Brenda, exe cuted the songs assigned to her with much sweetness. But the principal character in the Drama is Norna, personated with adn.irab'e effect by Mrs.W.Wasr ; her person corresponded in everything, but in age, with the description in the Novel ; and though she was shorn of her supernatural powers, yet she still assumed an authority and a mystic spell which seemed more.. than human. The drama is said to be from the pen of Mr. DI MOND: the dialogue adheres closely to the text (I the Novelist, wherever it could be adorted ; many f.f t he songs are in the o.iginal, and such others as have been introduced possess considerable merit. The music, particularly the choitts , .e,, is good; and the scenery, of which aloe is a liberal quantity, entirely , new, is excellent. The piece was well received throughout, and announced for repetition. amidst general applause. A little curtailment is necessary, and then we think it may have a petty successfel career. The Honourahie WILLIAM HENRY Jotis SCOTT, son of the Earl of ELDON, has been sworn in one of the Cursitors for London and Middlesex, in the room' of = RANDALL, Esq. lately decea ed. ACC:MINT IN HUNTINC.—J. R. Gsccouv, Esq. met with an alarming accident on Monday, in following the hounds of the Farley Hunt, Hants, in taking a hazardou's leap which most of the field of sportsmen refused. • It was a quickset hedge of six feet, with two feet of ditch approaching it, and three feet on the other side. A Mr. Cosemerr first cleared the leap, and Mr. GREGOItY followed, when his horse's hind legs became entangled in clearing the second ditch, and be fell upon his rider, and caused a dangerous compound fracture of his left Lg. He was conveyed to a neighbouring farm-house senseless, from a contu sion nu the head also, and tears are enterta!ncd for his safety.—.. Mr. GRZGOILY is sixty years of age, and of corpulent habit. SeaRRINC.—The public exhibition of the representation of the fight between Neate and Gas, yesterday, drew a very genteel assemblage, amongst whom was a sprinkling of Nobility.Z.The performance excited much applause, and was given nut again fo r another day. "kites and /Ads made an excellent set-to, and let loose at each other in forcible order. Beloit. and Cooper, the tipsy., stood to each other in manly style, and they gave and took with much earnestness. The youngest of the Below.** and the pye-boy ( Valentine) turned-to without ceremony, and satisfied the audience. There were many other bouts. •SPORTINII Dectswit.—'the match-money on the disputed fight between Ciooper the Gipsy and Leary bay been returned to'the backers, in consequence of the indecision of the umpires, which sets many disputes at rest.
