We know of no more lamentable state of things than when every individual becomes popular from having incurred the displeasure of Government— and when that popularity is not confined to the lower classes, who, however respectable in their situation, may sometimes err from relying more on their feelings than on their judgment, but extends itself to the middle and upper classes of society— to those whose leisure has enabled them to encrease the advantages of a liber .1 education—there can be no doubt but that the Government is wrong—that such is the case as regards the late dismissals of Sir Robert Baker and Sir Robert Wilson no one can deny. We regret it, because we would have the Government act so as to deserve the general esteem of 1. nglishinen—not their bitterest execrations. A meeting has been held in Southwark (for which bo rough Sir Robert Wilson sits in the House of Com mons), and a subscription has been opened: this will be followed by similar meetings all over the coun try —sums great and small will be received, and we doubt not the intended victim of ministerial ven geance will be more than remunerated for the loss of his hall pay: as to the loss of his military rank, he has been more than repaid for that already, by the approval of every man of humanity. We repeat our regret that any acts of Government should de servedly meet the censure of all but those who are so materially interested in supporting their measures as to render an approval of them requisite to the snutinuance of the means by which they live. THE NATIONAL REGISTER The Paris Papers of Wednesday have arrived.— The subjoined are extracts PARIS, SEPT. 26.—A letter from the frontiers of Spain says, " The Young Princess of Saxe, Con sort of Ferdinand VIJ. who unites to personal charms the most amiable qualities of the heart, is grievously afflicted by the tempests which surround the throne which she shares. Since her retirement to St. Ilde fonso, she has been frequently found by her female attendants bathed in tears; and it ,is impossible to divert her mind from ruminating oa the dangers and difficulties with which the Royal Family is envi roned. In consequence of the alarming intelligence from Barcelona, the vigilance on the frontier which sepa rates France from Spain is redoubled. At Perpignan several successive arrests by the Prefect have deter mined the measures which arc to be must vigorously observed by individuals and the local authorities.— The importation of every species of merchandize from the Peninsula is prohibited, and the severest punish ment is denounced against those who give themselves up to smuggling. Every infraction of the injunc tions will subject the ()Milder to an immediate pro secution. Among the regulations adopted, we select the following:— " The communications from, as well as into the kingdom, can in future only take place by the Per dins, where a lazaretto of observation will be esta blished fur the performance of quarantine, to which the persons entering France shall be subject. Tem. 'wary hospitals in the nature of lazarettos, will also be established at Banyals, St. Laurent-Cerdans, and at Bany-sur-Nler, for lodging the individuals sus pected of coining from Spain, and who shall be found on this side of the line of demarkation. After sub mitting to the tests prescribed by the physicians, these persons are to be sent to the prisons of Per pignan to be proceeded against. The 6th article maintains the intercourse with Spanish Credagne only, by conforming to certain formalities enjoined by a subsequent order. THE ELECTIOAT OF LOUD M.4roa. Saturday the election of Lord Mayor came on pursuant to annual custom !Jaime the. Corporation ; when Aldermen Magnay and Waldman were re turned by a show of hands. The Aldermen retired, and in a few minutes returned, declaring the elec tion had fallen upon Alderman Magnay. No poll was demanded by the other party. Extract of a letter from Malta, dated Aug. 20:— " We are happy to learn that although the Malta memorial has not yet been allowed to take its in tended course, it has nevertheless been the means of attracting the attentions of Government to this lung neglected part of his Majesty's dominions. It seems that the baneful effects of the odious corn monopoly were too striking to escape the early notice of minis ters at home, and the knowledge of their having already given Sir Thomas Maitland direction for its abolition (Ulises general satisfaction here. We sin cerely hope that no measures will be resorted to by the local authority that can retard or counteract the benefits likely to result from immediately opening the corn trade, and that we shall not be disappointed in the just expectation of further advantages, now that the miserable state of this island has come under the serious consideration of Government. We there fore anticipate much amendment in our neglected and expiring commerce, and trust that we may, after the expected changes take place, renew our udvices by every packet, without incurring the reproaches you have for the last few years made us, of subject ing you to useless expense of postage " Charles Incledon has now finally retired from the stage. He is livigg at Brighton, in comihrt and respectability, upon the fruits of what he has re alized, and his wife's income. The lOrincr is not a great deal ; for Incledon was always open-handed and liberal ; aNI, besides, with a degree of gene rosity which we think unique, he always gave up all he had made to the chikiren of the late marri'tge, whenever he contracted a new one. He has been married three times. By his nwnt is extin guished o hat we boli'ly term the finest nude voice that the history of music has upon record. Ex ceeding by many degrees all others in power, splen dour, and extent, it was at the same time exquisitely sweet, mid possesed a peculiarny of tone which dis tinguished it from all other :: , au.] can never be for gotten by tl,ose %rho, hear it in its glory. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. From the tardiness of the arrangement in the first instance, and from an error in the filling up Our ticket of admission in the second, we have hitherto been pre vented visiting this Theatre, which was openvd for the season on Monday last. We shall not, of course, hazard a Critique on performances we did not witness, hut front report we know that the Theatre has been brushed up (hiring the recess, and that Al r. Young, who is re-en gaged, has played Hatntrt and Rolle. We should falsify the opinion recorded on our files if we did not express our admiration of Mr. Young's acting—he is always h;ghly respectable, frequently excellent—and if he had never appeared before the public but in Cassrius, his the. atrical fame, from the remembrance of his performance of that single character, would have been of the first and most unquestionable class: but one perfignier cannot he made in constitute a company---the attempt to do so ruined Drury-lane under the Committee, and rendered Ellision, the Lessee (or as lie chuses to designate himself "The Proprietor") unable to meet his engagements. Why, then, is the dangerous expetitnent to be made here? Why has Mr Charles fiemble been allowed to withdraw himself?—why did he not personify •• the Prince of Dcomark?"—His Handel has all the point— the excellence of his brother John's portraiture, with the addition of the fire and elasticity of comparative youth—he is a performer the Theatre cannot spare—an actor whose absence we hope the public will not tole rate. Where is Mr. Win. M'Cready—how is it possible tri find a substitute for him—and can the Theatre afford to SHELF Rob Roy, Henri Quatre, and a dozen other piers, the representation of which is not possible with out him ?—We have always felt a great prepossession in favour of Covent-Garden Theatre, partly perhaps Irmo personal feeling, but certainly more nom the superiority of its performances over loose of the rival establishment; and it would be with great regret th,it we felt obliged to confess that there ceased to be a ground for our par. tiali ty. A letter from St. John's, Porto Rico, of the 2d of August, sava--" A dangerous plot was discover ed on the 24th ult. the day previous to its intended execution, amongst the slaves in this quarter of the island. Their plans were laid with much cunning and the most profound secrecy, and every prepara tion in their power made fin an extensive insurrec tion on the night of the 15th. The conspiracy, as fin as it is yet discovered, extends through several of the most extensive districts, but it is believed to be much more general. Many of the chiefs are al ready taken, and the trial and execution will be very summary. From the measures taken by the gover nor, who is a vigilant and excellent officer, to detect the remaining ringleaders, and secure the general tranquillity, nothing further is to he apprehended." Accounts from Batavia to the 224 of May suit*, that between the 30th of April and the 9th of May, 1,200 per: ans died at Samarang of the cholera mor bus, out of which number 158 were Europeans— At Batavia, during the same period, 2.50 died, of whom 101 were huropeaus. Eleven vessels sailed for Bombay, Bengal, and Madras, in consequence of the great mortality caused by the disorders. FEVER IN SPAIN.—By the tinnier posts the epi demic disorder in the east of Spain was under.:tood to be declining, but the last mail states that those favourable prospects had been reverted. The fever has broken out again at Barcelona with fresh and very alarming symptoms. All connexion nith Bar. cellonetta had been studiously cut off and it was hoped by that precaution that the town might be saved ; but it had made its appearance within the walls, with symptoms equally fatal , and on the 12th inst., which is the date of the last letters front Barcelona, the panic-struck inhabitants were flying from it in all directions. Even the municipal au thorities and military force, whosc presence must be so essential in such emergencies to preserve order, partook of the panic, and were leaving the city.— Those whom business compelled to remain at their pests were in hourly expectation of being declared in a state of incommunieltion with the rest of Spain. The fever is described to be of the most malignant kind, and very taw of those who had been attucktd with it escaped. At Tortcsa, on the Ebro, the fevtr has also made its appearance. The Government have ordered all the telegraphs between the Admiralty and the out-ports ut Eng land to be put in perfect repair.. The old manner of communicating is land aside, the new mode being considered infinitely more expeditious and comprk hcnsive. By the change of system the question given at the home station will only l•e known to the officer who presents it, and to him who hot receives it at the distant port. All persons intermediately em. ploved will only have to make the fire-simile of the first signal and the returns, which may La received in Baleen minutes, at the distance ut seventy-two miles, if the weather be favaurabic, The workmen are busily employed at the Admiralty, at West square, and usher place,. It as conjectured this repair is for the more speedy comanmicatiou ut intelligence during his Majesty's absence un tl.• Continent. Sir Colin Hackett, the new Lieutenant G tventor of the island of Jersey, %c.c.s sworn in on Monday last, with the uNual ceremony, io 41:e presence of the Roy.ll Court. soo r ~~ ._~ :,;,
