somewhat similar to the LOVEDAY affAir in Paris.— A young English Protestant Lady, living at Ghent, has turned Roman Catholic. Her mother, informed of the circumstance, hastened to get her back, but she avoided her, and has at present taken refuge in the house of a Citizen. The name and age of the Lady are unknown. _ _ _ Bench Funds.—Feb. 11, Five per Cents. 89f. 25e. Charleston Papers arrived this morning to the 11 th of January, and Norfolk Papers to the 15th of the same month : CHARLESTON, JANUARY 10. The vain attempt to coerce Great Britain to admit our vessels into her colonial trade, is doing great and essential injury to the Southern States. The people of Norfolk, at a public meeting, have expressed their opinions and wishes on this subject, and have ad dressed a memorial to Congress. It has been sug gested by several, that a similar meeting would be desirable in Charleston, that Government may be' apprised of the opinions of our commercial and agri cultural men, in relation to the law which at present exists, and the propriety of its repeal. FROM HAVANNAH.—Under the Marine head, in yesterday's paper, we mentioned that Lieut. Hearney, of the United States brig Enterprise, had broken up the piratical establishment at Cape Antonio. We understand the information reached Havannah just before the Comet sailed, by a vessel from the Cape. It is stated that most of the crew of the Enterprise were landed in her boats, but that the pirates fled on their approach. The ship Liverpool Packet, Richards, arrived at Havannah from Rio Janeiro, was twice boa; de.] and lobbed by pirates on the passage; in one instance the Mate was hung up, to extort confes sion of money being on board, and when cut down, Le was supposed to be dead.—Charleston Courier. TRADE OF HAVANNAH.-Our correspondence has Lrnished us with a statement of the arrivals in that Fart from the Ist of January to the 31st of Decem bcr. 1821, amounting in total to 1,322 vessels. We' lave to notice the frequent and repeated depredations hich have been committed of late on the coast of that island, by a set of miserable beings, who are most confirmed pirates. We regret also to state, that the entrance of the port is filling up; and the channel, by which three-deckers formerly entered without dif ficulty, will now barely permit 44-gun ships to pass, Few shipwrecks had occurred in that port during the year 1821: three only was the amount. TRADE OF NEW YORK.—There were in the harbour of New York, on the 31st ult. 70 ships, 51 brigs, 40 schooners, and 300 sloops. CURACOA, JANUARY 11. The leaders of the new Government of the Spanish pact of the Island of St. Domingo,who have declared themselves independent, met together and declared that the Spanish part of Hayti is now a free and in accident State, and its form of Government must be Republican ; but, until a regular system can be brought into effect, a Provisional Junta will exist, to be cc mposed of a Captain-General and the Deputies from the five divisions of the territory. The first ol•;ect of the Government will be to enter into an alliance with the Government of Columbia, and make common cause with that Republic. Measures will al,o be adopted for forming a similar alliance with the Republic of Hayti. All free men, of whatever religion or colour, born in the territory, who have hided in it three years, are declared citizens. DIPLOMATIC MISDEMEA Nol.7ll.—Varinus causes are as.agned for the dispute which took place at the Pre sident's table, between the French and English Mi nisters. One of them is this :—The French Minister having left the United States, on his return from France found that his place at table had been, during his absence, occupied by the British Minister. By an adroit manoeuvre at the late dinner, he re-possessed himself of his former place the British Minister ob serving that he had been ont-generalled once, but would not be again. It is singularly unfortunate that such a breach of decorum should be exhibited by the Representatives of the two most civilized na tions in the world, in the view of our rustic Republi cans ; and it caps the climax of mortification to have a Russian recal them to politeness ! Extract of a letter from St. Thomas's, dated the Ist of January I had occasion, in my passage to this place, to call at St. Bartholomew's, to learn the state of the market, and while there a very fine Spa nish brig, prize tci a privateer schooner, fitted out at that place, appeared off the harbour with the French flag flying, and as his Christian Majesty's frigate, I'Africaine, was then lying in the port, she dispatched a boat on board of her, but on their arrival found the Harbour Master there before them in possession, which induce/ the French Officer to send his boat back to the frigate for orders. The boat returned again with a file of marines, and the brig was taken possession of by the French crew, which being per ceived by the batteries, two of them commenced firing on the vessel, and continued until she came into har bour, and delivered herself up to the Governor.— There appears to be a perfect understanding between the Government and Jolly. This is a direct violation of the Ordinances of the Colombian Republic, for prizes to be carried into any other place than some port on the Main. While the above circumstance was going on, the Commander of the French frigate was dining with the Governor." The last letters from Washington state, that the stoi ies of a Diplomatic , fracas are exaggerated, and a pt. ft ct reconciliation has taken place. BRIGHTON, PSBR UARY IS, The Km), to-day and yesterday, walked on the Palace Lawn, but did not otherwise appear in public. The town, however, have the satisfaction of know ing that his MAJIITI is in the enjoyment of excel lent health. Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD returned to the Pavi. /ion at five o'clock this afternoon; there has been no other Palace arrival since that of his MAJESTY on Saturday.

'Tilt called by the wise ones an excellent rule, That " at forty a man's a physician or fool ;" To fall In the maxim our friend was so loth, That at forty be managed to pass for rheas both ! Yesterday, at one o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office. Downing-street,which was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers except the LORD CHANCELLOR. The Council remained in deliberation till a quarter past three o'clock. The Marchioness of LONDONDERRY had her first party for the season on Wednesday evening, at her house in St. James's-square. The elel.ant suits of drawing-rooms were superbly illuminated. There were present upwards of two hundred distinguished fashionlbles. Prince LEoroLo arrived at Rome the beginning of last month, and purposed remaining there for some months. Mr. LAMBTON has become the purchaser of Her rington Hall and about 70 acres of land attached co it—prise £19,000, exclusive of the coal, 'lilt') is to be valued And paid for in addition. This same pro perty was bought for £7500. about 25 years ago.

Marshal SOULT gave a magnificent ball on the 34 inst. at his be tel in the Rue & Honore. On the 4th the Due d'Aestraaa gave a grand ball. On the Sth the Duke de RAGUSI gave one of I the most splendid balls that has been witnessed in Paris for se veral y. ars, at his grand hotel, Rue du Faubourg St. Honore; the great court-yard was illuminated on all sides, the lamps were gracefully displayed, and of all hues. On the grand stair-case servants were arranged, in rich embroidered uniforms, with baskets of burnished gold, containing odoriferous flowers, formed in bouquets, tied with white ribbons in tows, which they presented to the Ladies on entering. MI the English families I)f fashionable distinction were invited. Upwards of eight hundred personages were present. On Thursday last, Count LAURISTON, Lord Steward of the King's Household, gave a magnificent Ball. The Carnival is expected to be very brilliant this season. The cause between the Counts MONTHOLON and BERTRAND, and Monsieur & LAYITTE, respecting the sum of 5,000,000 francs deposited in the hands of the latter by the late NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, at the time of his departure for St. Helena, is now before the First Chamber of the Tribunal de Premiere Instance at Paris. The plaintiffs claim interest for five years at 5 per cent. to which the defendant has pleaded that no stipulation regarding interest was made at the time of the deposit, and that, considering it as a sacred deposit, he did not employ the motley in any way to produce interest. The cause was before the Court on Saturday last; but, on account of the pres sure of business, the hearing was postponed till Sam.- day, the 23d instant. Extract from a letter, dated Rome, Jaa. 22:—" A great many English are in this capital. The leading topic of conversation relates to Osman Aga, a Turkish Grandee. This exalted individual was Chief Officer to the Viceroy of Egypt, but, disgusted with the dogmas of the Koran, and conceiving a partiality for Christianity, he abruptly quitted the Mahomedan country, and in a vessel of his own came to Civita Vecchia, in the latter part of last month. He is ac companied by nine domestics, four of whom are the finest-looking blacks ever seen. On the Corso the gran2 attraction is this Turkish Nobleman and his suite—for his black and white servants, all superbly habited, generally accompany him. He has brought a considerable treasure with him, which enables him to vie with the richest of the Romans. On Easter Saturday, the ceremony of christening him and all his household will be performed in the mag nificent Church of St. Peter, in the presence of his Holiness the Pope and all the Cardinals. It will pre sent a very imposing spectacle. The Pope, by the way, has recently exhibited a fine trait of true Chris tian charity, by distributing a considerable sum of money among the surviving relatives of about 500 poor seamen, who unhappily perished in the Adriatic during the late tempestuous weather. Besides others, there are upwards of one hundred poor children, or phans, and seventy widows. At Genoa, since the year 1613, so dreadful a storm has not been expe rienced as that which raged there on Christmas Eve last. Amongst the gossip of this city is a report, which I believe te be well founded, that the eldest son of the Prince of Canino (Lucien Bonaparte) will shortly be married to his cousin, the eldest daughter of Joseph Bonaparte, and that when the nuptials are solemnized, the distinguished couple will proceed to the United States of America, to reside with the Lady's father. Measures of severity have lately been adopted against the banditti who infest the roads in the Papal States. Two of the ringleaders have been sen tenced to death, and several others to perpetual , ' imprisonment. It remains to be seen whether these miscreant highwaymen will be deterred frail their evil ways." WS •URBOICES IN IRELAND. OttELOW. The folio ing litter appears in the Grim Aim ing Pod: There s part of an estate, lying between Gores bridge and aignamana, just out of lease, by means of a life diopping, which has been itt possession of the tenants' forefather's, and the same day the lease ex pired the landlord, who resides in this county,. to . nk proceedings against these old inhabitants of Eden, to turn to the road about forty families at this season of the year, without knowing whither to go, or what to do ; and though offering three times the rent that they formerly paid, all was of no use ; when, seeing no other alternative but force, and mused by the' cruelties exercised against them, they are determined to lose their lives where their forefathers drew their breath. Being assisted by their friends and the coun try, they are now assembled under arms ; the land lord being obstinate, and the tenants driven to a state of desperation, will, I am afraid, be fatal to the in terests of this industrious and peaceable county, as the people are much annoyed by such proceedings at pre sent. It is to be hoped that it will not be the means of bringing Peelers or the army into the county; ifit be, we know who is in fault." LIMERICK, FEBRUARY 9] - - - Monday night, the house of David Brown, a re spectable farmer on the lands of Dona', near Croom, was attacked by a large party of Whiteboys, who de ired him to open his door and came out, and on his refusal, they commenced firing therein, which was promptly answered, and kept up for some time. The insurgents finding they could not gain admittance, set fire to the end of the house and retired. The fire was extinguished after much exertion. Thursday night last, an armed banditti attacked Major Harding s house at Derawlin, searched closely for arms, but found none, his sons having taken them to Harding's-grove for safety, and his family having removed to Chat leville on the last attack. They also searched Mr. Mason's house, at Glenbrook, but got no arms. They then broke into the house of one Wal lace, at Lisdane, whom they plundered of every ar ticle of apparel, linen &c. They next proceeded to the house of Denis Morissy, a tenant to Mr. Mason, and having fired a gun loaded with slugs, into the house, they rushed in at the same moment, arid robbed Morissy of different articles of apparel and cash, with ‘‘ hick they departed ; when Morissy, having alarmed his neighbours, pursued them, assisted by his son ; but attempting to secure one of them before his neigh bours could come up, he was fired at, and desperately v.munded in several places, by which his life is de spaired of. The robbers succeeded in making their escape across the great bog of Derawlin. Tuesday night, the widow Lawrence's house, near Baliingran, was attacked by a body of armed men— the only man belonging to the house being absent, as corporal of a guard of Yeomen, none remained but a lad, 15 years of age, in charge of three females, which he nobly kept, firing on the assailants, until relief came by the report of the shots. On the coming up of assistants, a second party of marauders were surprised, who, it is supposed, intended to attack other houses in the neighbourhood. MAJOR HARE.—We have learned from a private Correspondent, some particulars concerning this amia ble Gentleman, which did not appear in the accounts of any of our contemporaries :—" On the villains en tering his house, into which they were admitted by one of the servants, so that they made no noise to alarm or awake the family, they proceeded up stair, and the first notice he had of them was, by Mrs. Hare hearing them at her bed-room door, and awaking him. He started up, and armed himself; when Mrs. H. begged of him not to go out, to which he answered, " let the ruffians come," and instantly going out in the hbhy, fired at the villain next him, whom he shot ; when the fellow called out to one of his com panions, " Jack, that is my blood !" at the same time returning the fire, and killing Major Hare. The shots were fired so rapidly, that Mrs. Hare and the ser vants thought at the time there was but one explosion. After committing this unprovoked murder, the vil lains lighted their pipes in the kitchen before their departure:" IRISH LAW CHANGES.—The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of the Court of King's Bench resigned his high office on Saturday last. On the same day the usual letter, recommending the SOLICITOR-GENERAL as his suc cessor, was dispatched to England by the LORD LIEU TENANT. Mr. BUSH E has taken leave of the Com ts as a practitioner at the Bar. His Patent may be imme diately etpected. It is understood he will go the Lei n ster Circ uit.—Freeman's Journal. FAUX PAS EXTRAORDINARY.—A novel case came out before the Police nn Wednesday, in a charge of assault against an attorney, which discloses a new scene in lite, as follows :—" A man of fashion lately advertised for a wife, and the applicants were so vet y numerous, that an amanuensis was required to an swer letters and appoint meetings. The Lady (Mrs. B. of rank in herself, and allied to others of title), who was the cause of the present disclosure, was amongst the number of applicants, and although on the verge of fifty, with a family grown up, an swered the advertisement, and came more than 200 miles from the country for an interview with the ad vertiser, who having too much business of the kind on hand, turned her over to a friend, a Naval Offi cer. In the second interview, the parties retired to a house for company, and the Lady surrendered her at discretion. Other interviews took place at t e e r r s ngings at the west end of the town ; but she sought the advice of the attorney in question ; and in another private interview between her and the Captain, the said attorney, sans ceremonie, threw open the door, and found the parties in an awkward situation. The gallant son of Neptune pulled the lawyer's nose, but the Lady interfered, and the Cap tain gave his address, and the lawyer promised to leave his at a coffee-house the next day, avoiding it at that time. A friend of the Captain's afterwards called upon the attorney, when the alleged assault was committed, but the case proved did not amount 1 W an assault, and the warrant was dismissed." Thursday morning, about one o'clock, the hill part of Lincoln, was terrified by a fire which broke out in the stable of the White Hart Inn. Three sraluali.e horses of the posting kind were destroyed, and five others much injured,notwithstanding the most power ful exertions to take them out of the stable. . ~.._:....1 . .......- r..--r-.6-.--•-rpri Anativ«....---:- -- . % The id or &laic @enthused felt • fish! time hi MAIO+ Uwe oterebed thanes far Neu, mbar, tbetbe t w a tto r i ow lllr i ars mat imed Armagh by the OdVeter e s t at I"' NA 'AL INTELLIGENCE. • The Ran India Company's ship Canning, Captain W.

SPORT EXTRRORDINART.--Sir D. hfoncritffe 's Hairier' threw off on Friday last, at the Bridge of Erne, and nd a most gal lant hare, which gave them a chace of more thin eigh, miles in the direction of the village of Abernethy, where she doubled into the bills, and was killed in a stone quarry. The worthy Baronet, at the risk of his life, plunged into deep water to rescue .be un fortunate animal from a watery grave; his exertions were fruit less, as poor puss had already become a sacrifice to her fleet pursuers. BOXING. The renewal of the match between Fort Maw, the miner, and George Hub, took place yesterday morning, in an open nng at Malsby, in the forest of Bagshot, towards Guildford, for the original stake of fifty guineas. The last battle, two months since, was declared a draw, as both men were hit to a stand-still, and often went down from distress without a bit. The fight we are about to record was not one of scientific stilts, which they were strangers to, but it was manhood pourtrayed, during the 22 mi nutes it lasted. It tcok place early, to prevent confusion, as the parties, the men and their backers, were anxious to know the best man, rather than rabble applause. The same seconds offi ciated as on the former occasion, and a pliant fight of eight rounds followed, in which every inch of ground was stub bornly maintained. Rousts I. The combatants could scarcely make up their minds to shake hands, from eagerness to begin matting. They twice got their arms entangled without the design of mischief being realised, and they separated as if by command. At the next meeting bolt was bit down upon one knee by a blow on the chest, but he recovered himself, and a slaughtering round of give and take followed, which lasted seven minutes, when Fordham was dropped by a hard round hit upon the temple, and both were streaming in claret. 2. The combatants turned-to again, and exchanged several awkward round blows upon the head, and in the rally Hole was hit down. _ _ _ 5. The fast fighting of the men wa% stopped for a while— roaring, and not piping, was the order of both, and in meeting Fordham was thrown. 4. Second wind, replenished efforts, and a merry round was fought. It was manfully contested, and Holt brought hts ad versary's head down by a body hit, which set him abroad, and be was knocked down and had the worst of the round.—Two to one on Holt. 5,6, and 7, were gallant rounds at the scratch. In the fifth, Holt kept his superintity, and al.h - nigh he cirlape id his adver sary's head in form, yet he had the worst of the Inter part of it, and was thrown a heavy suatmersct. In th, other two rounds Fordham took the lead, Holt's right hand having become dis abled, and be was grasxd in the sizth and thrown in the seventh round. 8. Holt made a gallant stand, and fought under disadvantages very bravely, but he wanted some of his namesake's knowledge. He was hit down senseless by a blow under the ear, and a street full of watchmen could not have drummed tame into his ear.— Furdbam, although the winner, was much beaten. Last week, some young ladies who b. d been taking a walk, were accosted by a gipsey woman, who, fur a small reward, very politely offered to shew them their future husbands' faces in a pool of water that stood near. Such an offer was too to Id to b e refused, and, on paying the stipulated sum, the Ladies hastened to the water—each in anxious expectation of getting a glance of the " beloved;' but lo! instead of beholding the " form and face" they so fondly anticipated, they were sur prised to see only their own rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes glanc ing (tom below. " Sure you ate mistaken, won an," exclaimed one of them, " for we see nothing but our own faces in tl e water." " Very true, :nem," replied the sagacious fortune teller, " but these will be your husbands' faces when you are married."--(Dunifries Cirsoicr.) Coen Excitants', MARK•LaIIs, Fay. 15.—We had a good sup ply of Wheat and Barley fresh in this morning from Suffolk, and prime samples of each sold at Monday's prices; but thrre was scarcely any demand for the inferior qualities, of which de scription a considerable quantity remains on hand.
