en the Continent, when they refused to interfere on behalf of Spain. This was so evidently a duty. that no ignorance eat be pleaded:—and any other motive would re• quire an impeachment by way of answer. To interfere against the designs of Russia upon the Mediter ranean, with Spain and France for the Allies of Russia, would be a difficolt task; and one .that would require far abler heads that at present sway the destiny of this country. To have checked the career of France in Spain, would have been within the limited capacity of a Liver. pool aid his colleagues :—but they neglected the golden opportunity, and suffered the prize to be taken from them without a straggle. After Turkey shall have been made the prey of the Alliance, and the Greeks have been secured in Russian fetters, new projects will he developed. Guernsey and Jersey, naturally belong to France ; and in retaliation for our baring usurped the Government of them so long, Ireland may he deemed a fit equivalent. There our Minis. try is preparing the way for any conqueror, by completing the disgust in which it bas long held the Government of England. Oar navy may acquit itself in a final contest, with all its accustomed gallantry and skill ; but if trot called into action until ability and courage are useless against an overwhelming force, even our navy can be of no avail. The dry rot of a bad system has tainted it already ; and its last heroes will only have the consolation of perish. in with the Sag which they can no longer defend. The Colombian Loao neiotiated by M. Zea, has been recognised by the Government there. We are glad of this; sot merely for the sake of the individuals concerned ; but as it *ill afford our Ultras a very useful lesson upon the difference between republican honour, and the security afforded by " the restoration ofithe royal government in Cblambia was certainly not legally bound to recognize a ban which she had not authorised to be contracted for : —bnt she had received advantages from the loan, which in honour she was Inund to acknowledge. She has done sn ; and the difference between what she has melted, and what she Ain pay, will be compensated by the advantages she will gain in point of character, We would cution be►, however, against any further recurrence to the system of loans than her imperious wants may require. Seth • system of finance as prevails in :England, has a tendency to establish a monied aristocracy, and to absorb in its baneful vortex all the wholesome strength of a nation. There are exigencies in which loans may be usefully re. sorted to, but it should always be done with great caution. The following notice from the Portuguese Consul was this morning posted at Lloyd's : Portugnese Coninlate, Oct. 31, I lin. beg to apprise you, for the information of the merchants and others interested in the trade with Portugal, that his Most Faithful hlsjesty has been pleased to order the following duties, and this decree to be in force from the 15th October, 1823: On Colonial Produce 30 per cent ad valorem.

DZATR OF CHARLLS GRANT. ESQ. — Mr. Charles Grant, the Best India Director, died suddenly yesterday morning. He did not retire to 'lost till aiMut font o'clock, and at six tetras a corpse. His disorder was 'pima in the sto Irst ite of his family were present to witness the distreislng seen; his medical attendant, and his boiler only were in the house; Mrs. Grant and family having for some time /elided at Dartford, in Kent. Mr. Want was more than SO years of age, and so re cently as six o'clock en Thursday evening was officially ingaged at the East India Home.

In consequence of the dreadful storm of wind and rein which has prevailed, with little intermission, sineeThursday night, some of the mail coaches did not reach the Poet Office in Lombard street this morning, 'till an unusually late hour. One of theinland mails was brought in a private carriage, and the Dublin mail did not arrive. Manyof the roads towards the metropolis presented a terrible scene of devastation ; trees of the largest sire were seen torn op by the roots, and some were prostrated across the road, seas to retard the progress of the coaches. In all the low grounds the waters were out to a dangerous extent, and tou lieges were completely overiew e d—this was particu larly the case at Shepford, in Bedfordshire, which exhibited a most alarming and distressing appearance. The flood burst through the houses with irresistible fury, and pouring into the main streets, formed a stream nearly two feet in depth, which swept all before it. The inhabitants said they had not witnessed such a flood for forty years. The destruction of property was immense; and the most melancholy accounts from the districts to which we have atlnded, are anticipated, as there was every probability pf the flood increasing rather than diminishing. The following accounts from Lloyd's. lead us to be ex tremely anxious for the shipping on the N. E. coast. DEAL, Ocr. 81.—Wind E. by N.--Passed through the Highlander, Miller, from Liverpool for London.—Twol schooners, undtr quarantine, a bark, end severel brigs, have passed through the. Downs front the Westward; names un known. PORTSMOUTH, Om 31.—Wind North, blowing bard.—lt hatiblown a very heavy gale from North the whole of this day, but we have not heard of any damage done to the shipping.— No arrivals or sailings. FALMOUTH. Ocr. 30.—Wind E. to S.E.—Arrived the Either, Forster, from Militia in 26 days. YAarours, Ocr. 31.—Wind N.E.—lt has blown a heavy ale the whole of this day, the accounts from Winterton state that the Edmund, Ewing, from Sunderland to London was driven on shore at that place, the Master and four men lost; one of the fishing smacks is likewise on shore, and the crew drowned. Timm tut, OCT. 31.—1 t has blown a complete hurricane the whole of the day from E.N.E., but as yet we have not heard of any damage among the shipping. it is much feared that the next post will bring disastrous ac ounts of the shipping on the N.C. coast, the port letters of last night mention the gale is being tremendous, but there has not been sufficient lime to ascertain its effects. I TEM STATPSMAN- rl'_~rt.7f -I IRELAND. --nons...— • WHETEBOTISM. Listening, Ocr. 2d.—This morning, abont an hour before day a shot was fired through the bed room window of Edward Barry, at Kildimo, in this county, in the direc tion of his bed. The abot luckily did not take ef fect. Three bullets were found in the •room at day light. A few nights ago, the houses of Mr. Thomas Bandon and John Bandon, bath of Ballycasy, near Kildiot°, in this county, were attacked and entered by a number of well armed ruffians, and both the Bindona severely beat. The former was ordered to part his wife, and nab which he was obliged to comply. Tuesday night last several loge stacks of straw, one car, some empty bags, and farming utensils, were con. sowed on the lands of Newcastle, near this city. Whether this burning was accidental or malicious, remains to be ascertained, but the owners are seeking for compeosation, uader the latter. Oa the night of Wednesday last, the house of Mr. William M. Saunders, near Scut-wile. County Kerry, was attacked by a banditti of Whiteboys, who,lhaving by threats and menaces of fire and destruction to the house and family, obtained ad mittance, immediately presented a gun and bayonet at Mr. Saunders. and demanded his arms; he answered be bad none. They seemed well aware be had a gen some time before, and insisted on getting it. Mr. S. told them he had left it at his father's house. Not satisfied with this, they minutely searched every part of the house for arms; and, on going away, said it was a mistake to suppose they were put down ; for that they would be found worse (or more terrible) than ever. They then proceeded to a farm belonging to Mr. O'Connor, of Cork, (the brother-ia-law of Mr. Saunders,) in order to promulgate Rockite law to two new tenants on these lands, mimed Green and Brosnan.—Green was not at home; but Brosnan they caught, flogged him soundly, swore him to quit the farm within a week, to send his flax to the late tenant, and not to presume to ' dig any of his potatoes—all this under pain of death. A quantity of slates, the property of Mr. Foot, of Two-pot house, County Cork, which were prepared for roofing the offices burnt by the insurgents last Spring, were maliciously broken and destroyed a few nights since. On Teesday night last, a party of fellows, well armed with guns and mounted pikes, attacked the house of a respectable man, named Connor, at Kilmacierman Cross, in the Barony of Orrery and Kilaiore, in the County of Cork ; they heat the unfortunate man most cruelly, after which they left the house without assigning any reason for the commission of this oaring outrage. In consequence of an order from Government, the Police Magistrate of this Couoty had four hundred and ninety-seven guns, which were taken up by the police within the last year, sledge(' down at Rathkeale, on Wednesday, under his own in spection ; they are to be converted into shoes for the police horses. _ _ . COUNTY oP CLARE.—On Friday a party of Captain Drought's mounted and dismounted police, attended the Rev. Mr. Murray and two persons appointed by him to value tithes, in the neighbourhood of Miltown Malbay; the dismounted party, with the valuators, entered a field some short distance from the high road, where they were attacked by a riotous assemblage of persons, who were armed with reaping hooks, clubs, stones, &c.; one of the mob placed a reaping hook round the neck of one of the police, swearing that he would have his life and the whole of the party, if they did not quit the lands ; the police retreated to a con siderable distance, but were pursue.' and pelted with stones by the mob, who bad by this time assembled in great nutn hers. The Serjeant who commanded the party, and who acted with every degree of forbearance and precaution on this o:casion, ordered his men to fire over the heads of the mob; this only irritated them the more, and they be came so determined in their attack on the police, that the latter were obliged to Are in their own detence; and we regret to say that one woman was shot dead, and two men, who were principally concerned in the attack, were wounded. —These areal* only , particulars of this anfuetunste trans ' action which have as yet come to our knotvledge. Ott the report of the circumstance being made to Captain Drohelititille Chief - Magistrate of police, acting in , Major Warbugron'eabarote, be immediately repaired to the spot, and hadngcolleoted the surrounding Magistrates and the Coroner, ;hey proceeded to the investigation ; and after a patient elimination of every witness that offered, the Jury returned a verdict—that " Rose Smith cause by . bee death from a gun shot, fired by the police in their own defence." From the number of witnesses that were exaudoed, the Jury did not give in emir verdict until half past two un Sunday morning. ENNISKILLEN Sessiosis.—D. Auchenleck, Gentleman Attorney, applied to the Court to compel William tiab• bett, Esq., a Magistrate of the County, to produce a person of the name of Johnston, whom .Ir. Auchenleck said, Richard Dane, Esq., an impartial Magistrate, ha I, on the Ifith of October insL,nt, arrested, as one of the ringleaders of the rioters on that day, and hail given him in custody to a constable, hut who was afterwards liberated by the order of the said William Gabbett, Esq. from the custody of law. Mr. Gabbett, as one of the Court, said, he was not ac countable to that Bench for his conduct, and that he could not be compelled to produce the said Johnston. Mr. Dane, in reply, said, that either on or off the Bench of Magistrates, he had, to the best of his know ledge, done his duty honestly and impartially; and be could not but complain, with truth and justice, of the improper conduct of Mr. Gobbet', his Fellow Magistrate, for thus interfering with his jurisdiction, and thus defeat ing the ends of justice. The Assistant Barrieter said, the Court `could not coma pel Mr. Gobbett to produce Johnston; btu if lie acted improperly in the discharge of Lis duty, the Court of King's Bench was the proper tribunal fur the aggrieved party to resort to. RIGHTS OF BURIAL (TO TAR EDITOR OF THE CORK MERCANTIL' CHRONICLE.) Sin,—On Wednesday morning last, the 15th of the cur rent month, the Rev. James Fitzpatrick, the Rev. William Cotter, Roman Catholic Curates of Fermoy, and I, accom panied the remains of a respectable old Gentleman from that town to Rathcorm sc, and upon the funeral procession having reached the 4;hurckyard, we, without any interrup tion that we 'could perceive, recited the usual prayers, and withdrew. In the course of the day, I learned from unquestionable authority, that one of the Churchwardens, as soon as we begagy i the prayer, rushed through the crowd towards us, but At'sopped by the people. All doubt, however, as to an intention of preventing the Clergymen from performing the accustomed ceremonies, is rento6d by the fact I am going to relate. The Hon. and Rev. John Blackwood, our Rector, the following day called on me in the Chapel-yard, and, in the presence of a respectable Gentleman, stated that he ordered the Rev. William Ryder, his Curate, on Sunday last, to inform me, that they (tile Rector and Curate) bad received a letter from the - Bishop. and instructions from Govern ment, desiring they should not suffer Roman Catholic Clergymen to attend the funerals, or offer np prayers for the dead in the Church-yard. Upon this communisation I shall, for the present, forbear making any comment or observation, and remain, Sir, your faithful humble servant, P. SHEEHAN, P. P. Ratliocinsec, Oct. D 3, VS 3. Thomas Wright, lace of lalley, the murderer, whose life was spared on account of his supposed insanity, and who broke out of the county ►aol, Huntingdon, a short time since, was retaken on Thursday, and re-conveyed to bis old quarters. Since his escape. he had been to see Ws brother in Norfolk, whose Loose he robbed of 121., but who pursued him, and took him in the very barn, at Parcett be was first apprehended in immediately after the murder. - • • ger ~Vie. e• - 'TI SPORT ING INTLLLIGENCE.

That Gentleman was nut, however, present this day, and the prisoner received the bent-fit of it. When the prisoner left the bar, a scene of confusion took place for several minutes betireen the respective parties, u to who should have the cloth, the result of which was, that the Court declined to make any further order than that the person who brought it should take it away. Mr. ANDREWS intimated that further proceedings would be adopted. Roger:, who had formerly been accused of fraud, was discharged ; and nothing further of any interest came before the Court. Flae.—An alarming fire broke out this morning about half-past four o'clock, in the house of Mr. Burrell, a grocer in Clare Market. The house is a corner one, facing Gil bert Street and Sheffield Street, being one of the new house, - lately ban t in the .aorthern part of the Market. It burnt with ,great fury for nearly an hour. and at one time threateoed the adjoining neigh bourhood, having set fire to the house immediately op polite, in Gilbert Street. There appeared at first to be a scarcity of water,, for the fire raged dreadfully after the arrival of the St. Giles' parish engine, before it could have a s u pply ;—however, in a al.ort time, that and the St. Clement Danes engine, got the fire nearly under before the arrival of the Assurance engines. The house of Mr. Burrell is reduced to a heap of ruins —and the house of Mr. Atberell, the cheese. . monger, immediately adjoining, was only pre served from destruction by a strong party wall. There were in the house when it took fire only Mr. Burrell and a I .d who assisted him in the shop, and they had just time to save their lives in their night clothes. Mr. Burrell is a young man, and only commenced business a few weeks ago. It is ascertained that the lire broke out in the shop. In Tue STATESMAN of yesterday, mention was made of the death of John Sparkes, jun., Esq., of the fain of the Sparkes and Co. distillers, in St. John Street, Smith field, who had put a period to his existence in a fit of despondency, "occasioned, as it is reported, by lutists in his speculations in the funds, particularly in Spanish Bonds." We are assured,on the most respectable aateority,says the paper from which this account was copied, that there is not the slightest foundation for the report that the deceased ' ever speculated in the Funds, or In Spanish Bonds, and that the fatal act was not occasioned by the failure of any speculation, or any loss in trade, bat originated in that , alienation of mind to which our nature is unfortunately subject, and for which is this case no cause could be assigned. We are sorry that we have been deceived into giving currency to a report which has caused the greatest, pain to the family of the deceased, who, if their wealth' and respectability had not been so universally known, might have been seriously injured by it. We understand that a shop in this town has been opened for the sale of beer by retail, in virtue of an Act of Par liament which is said to have been lately discovered by a Gentleman at Reading, and which contains nearly the same provisions as those contemplated by Mr. Brotighain's Bill. We are not acquainted with the Statute in . question, but are informed that it has been acted upon in seeeral towns: that it empowers a person to sell without license any quantity of beer less than two gallons, which of course must not be drank upon the premises. The shop was opened yesterday. end was crowded all the day with pur chasers.—(Brighion Gazette.) At a late Circuit in the North, a Judge, by no 111CMIS celebrated fur his suavity of temper, had occasion to exa mine a witness, in a case of manslaughter, as to the side of the road an which a cart had been driven. Ile had considerable difficulty in exacting the wished for informs. tion, and was at last obliged to say to the witness with his accustomed gruffness of manner, " Why, Sir, am no Carter, and yet I thiak I could tell whether the cart was driven on the right side or the wrong." " I'm nae sure, Judge; I'm uae sure. Sir." rejoined the witness, " sae I canna tell whether you could or no."—(Glasgow Free Press) A commutation of the sentence of death into that of banishment for life, arrived here (Glasgow) on Saturday morning for Walter Graham. condemned at last Circuit for uttering forged notes. It is said that the only reply he made upon this favourable intelligence being c mama ideated, was by n shrug of his shoulders, and the exclamation "It's a --lang voyage." On his irons being struck off , the other felons assembled in the day-room and court of the gaol, and called out, " Watty, are ye coming down to see as now ?" He declared, "I am determined not to injure my character by again appearing in bad company." —(Glasgow Paper.)

In addition to the particulars of yesterday, the following facts Dave reached us:— . As soon as Hunt made a confession of what he knew of the assassination of this unfortunate Gentleman, the Magis trates, with great promptitude, requested Mr. Noel, the Solicitor, Itutloven, and a number of officers to attend Hint to the pond, where the corpse was concealed—Hunt went in a post-chaise, accompanied by Rutliven, and on arriving near a pond, which is on the side of a lane leading from Radlett to Battledore Green, in the parish of Altlenham, Hunt put Isis hand out of the chaise, and said " that is the place." A drag was provided by Mr. Field, the Landlord of the Artichoke, at Elstree, and a man threw it into the water, and drew it out without finding any thing. Hunt called out of the chaise, " it is not there, but further that way" (pointing on one side of the water). The drag was again t'irown in, and the body of a matt, enveloped in a new sack, was drawn out, placed on a ladder, and carried to the Artichoke public house. The • following is an accurate description of the corpse when ie was brought out of the water. The head, and as far as the abdomen were enveloped in the sack, the body having been thrust into it head foremost ; the feet here tied together with a piece of cord, to u hitch were appended a pocket handkerchief filled with flint cotes, about 30 pounds weight. Another cord was tied over the sack, round the waist of the deceased, to which was affixed a very large Hint stone, and in the end of the ss, k a great number of stones bail been placed before the body was put into it. The Magistrates gave orders for the body nut to be examined till theory were impanelled ; and yesterday morning, when the Jury, with the Coroner, took a view of it, no one could bs certain, thoegh very little doubt could possibly exist, that the deceased was Mr. IVea.re. On the night (Friday) when this murder was cotninitted, Probert and Hunt arrived, about eight o'clock, at the Ar- • tklooke, at Elstree, in a chaise, and stopped there drinking. till about a quarter before nine o'clock ; they had five on& shilling glasses of brandy and water , and then went their way. It is believed that Probertywho could not be actually present at the murder, as it was perpetrated about the hour of right o'clock,weut to the Artichoke at the time the murder wasbeing• committed byJohn Thurtell, for the purpose of being seen there,that he might be able to provean ali l il,tfthecrime should be found out. When hunt was returning from the pond he ad. dressed himself to Mr. Field, the landlord of the Artichoke is the following words:—" I and Probert were sitting under the tree in front of your house for an hour. on the night of the murder, oiriakiug—You know this "r" Mr. Field replied in the affirmative. Ilunt continued: " Peahen wanted me to sin.', but I was so very "muzzy" (drunk) that I could not. Mont was then conveyed to St. Allian's Gaol, and the CORONER issued stimmouses for a J ary to assemble yesterday (Friday) morning, at the Artichoke, at Elstree; and the Magistrate gave orders that Hunt should be conveyed where the inquest was appointed to sit, and also Thomas Ttsurtell and Probert. After the evidence was taken before the Magistrate at the Essex Arms Tavern. Watford, on Thursday afternoon, John Tbartell was brought into the room, and the whole was reea pitula at the conclusion, he said, " 1 wish to ask Hasa a question." The Magistrate told him that be could not be per mitted at present to confront Hunt.--John Itturtell then re plied, " I wish to ask him where he was on last Tuesday night." lie was again informed, that at present he could not be allowed to see Hunt. lie then asked leave to write to r. Sergeant Vaughan for his professional assistance, oh eh wan instantly granted, and he was conveyed to Hertford Gaul. 1
