Extract of a letter from Hayannah :—" On the 3d want Pon Nicholas Mahn, our new Governor-Gene- T A, a rrived bere with his suite from Bordeaux. His E xc ellency is a Lieutenant General of the army. He was received with the most enthusiastic cheers of thousands of our citizens. It is one of the results of a political state retaining an portion of freedom or independence, that some part of the community will be so besotted as to abuse t h e spirit which has been the source and guarantee of their privileges anti their prosperity. In this point of view, it is more matter for regret than for surprise, to fi t ui Englishmen affect to reprobate the struggles that have recently been making by nations on the Continent Pie the possession of civil and political liberty. We re gret this perversion of principle the more, hawse we ro nsitle'r it no s mall encouragement to the spirit of ag eres,ion 'among foreign invaders, and of vindictien to. ss among ancient rulers, which appears totigenerally ro prevail. This was not heretofore the characteristic E n; tieltmeo, nor the rinciple of English policy.— Without going so far back as oar own ELIZABETH or a WILLIAM of Maxus for instances of generous and g4llset interposition in behalf of the struggling asses poi Of liberty in foreign lands, we need only recur to the distinguished countenance conferred hut lately on Sitauirli patriots to assist their resistance against timir French invaders. It has been even said by those. who are not; among the most suspicious friends of the 'vanish nation, that " without the assistance of the British Army, the Spaniards could never have orga n:fel their liue s rillas." 'the grounds of this assertion se hare great reason to doubt. The Spaniards, we Ise:hve, would have been sufficiently. able, in t h i i, ( mu t ray, to have claimed their independence him the beginning, as, we trust, they will, he their own meat's, secure it in the end. It has thcome the fashion of a party among; us, now, to view them " with scornful vet with jealous eves." It Ise:tea:led that the Spanish Constitution dues not ,;low power enough to the KING, and that it contains we booty ' not what multitude of objectionable parts. Li should be remembered, however, under what cir tsaittances this Constitution was framed. Never had $ ' , wally people been more battely 14trayed by a legi tit:Litt:Government ; and it is therefore not surprising they should skew their jealousy at the abuse of mo t.. rr':ical power. If they entertain a like suspicion ritit repar.l 'to foreigners, it is as little matter 0: wowl , r. They may have found that they ktve enemies newer home than Russia or Austria. feopir of Ireland, we regret to fin& have not Nr ivett the urrouot of the rejection of the Catholic Bill with the cousposnre w • expected. The following b Coe statement of the irvid;“ MorninT Peat ou Mon- is v Lot on the occasion :-- - The Catholic Relief Bill has been rejected by the llaise of Lords, by 6 majority of 39. Few were pre parr.i to expect so large a majority on this.octa.sion ; .1.:1 meurring . at a time when men's hopes were highly rased by the snecess of the measure in the Commons, a' feeling of disappointment and dismay has been produced, wu,.11 ire would in vain a: tent to describe. The two Illetah.r: , of the Royal Family, next in succession to the Tto: e, %%eve 19oongst the most stern of its opponents ; ar..: thr following Peers, who dill not vote, are also V. allied as on the side of the adverse party: — The Dukes of Comiterlanil, Cambridge, Manchester, a. a heeds; Earls of Itodifor , l, Stanhope, liarborough, 'Li at, Beverley, Cntlogan. and Manvers ; Lords De ti,:et see, Searsd She, Vernon. t'a rteret. :arleton, Douglas, Moore, Dalhousie, Colchester, Sinclair; Earls of Erne, Bandon, Caleilon, thasford, Hosse ; Larllvrawly, and the Bishops of Bath and *ells, Lich awl Coventry. "The Bill, too, has been rejected upon principles si,laiut reference to its details ; and this we look upon ,a•isfactory,lnasnoich as we are thereby informed at ar.z.., that Emancipation will not be granted, either with renditions or without them; and thus will Catholics see fatility of their petty squabbles. Thus, also, will they he convinced of the utter inutility of all their ef fort*, whilst the present System continues. " This is our conviction ; net we are bound to state the views of others, with whom we have conversed, who have the means of acquiring good information. They say that the King's intention to relieve the Catholics is w‘eyorocal—that his I:ijesty did not in the present no', as the weasut e hail not its origin in the Cadinet, 14 1 E, that lively interest in its success, which he other et:o voteld have dote ; lint, say our informa nts, the Kin g lii.!, at a very early period, monist upon the question trier taken op by the Cabinet, and recommended in the Speech front the Throne—we wish all this were true." A strong feeling of alarm as well as disappoint ment or the occasion hid been expressed by the Dub lie Evening Post of Saturday, as appears in the fol lowing paragraph : "The sensation which the number of the majority has et:U.O in Publin, is very extraotrlinary.

SUANSPEARIL Shiloh still continue. shy. He will not gratify his longing people with hi s co mp a ny. though so posi tively promised. He exposes them even to reproach and mockery, as well as disappointment. Since so much was said about his appearance and his non-ap pearance, the same taunting language is now applied to his votaries as was applied to those of another de scription of old—" Cry aloud : fur he is a god ; ei ther he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey: or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked." Shiloh, however, is like the maid-servant mentioned by Mr. Hohhouse in the House of Commons the other night; the more they eel!, the more he won't come. The truth, it seems, is, that Shiloh's people, notwithstanding all their faith and zeal, have not vet made proper preparations for hini. Shiloh is not a spirit to subsist upon imperial air. Shiloh is corn , posed of flesh and blood, and requires food and raiment like any human being of his age ; and he, being young and delicate, and his guardian, the pro phet Turner, being nnweihly and infirm, they cannot journey through the land, as it is destined they should, without being adequately supplied with money to defray tkei'r travelling expenses. This truth was declared on Sunday last, in the Temple, near that Tabernacle of iniquity called the Surrey Theatre, by the converted Jew, .Vr. Comet:, from a manuscript which be read to the congregation in the name of the Lord, their Master ; and it was con firmed at the close of the service by .11 r. 'former, the Ards-Prophet himself. Truth, it is often said, is very utortifying to heir; and so must these tidings have proved to the faithful. With all their longing fur the coming of Shiloh, it appears, from divine authority. that according to the Comtnittee report, there was on Sunday last no more than the stun of £3 29. I. in the treasury! Three pounds, two shillings and seven-pence ! I Three pounds, two shillings, and seven-pence only!!! What a contemptiVe pro vision for the establishment of such a bring aa Shiloh! No wonder lie is ashamed of joining such a shabby set of disciples : No wonder that his prophet re proached them on Sunday with their unbetiet and hardness of heart! Su long as they continue thus backward in manifesting their regard for him, there is no doubt lie will be equally backward in his long promised manifestation to them. If, eon'ra-y to all human probability, which seems indeed, to have but little concern in this divine affair, the re-appearance of Shiloh should happen to take place, we shall out fail to communicate as faithful a report us we he enabled to collect of the proceedings un the great occasion. Aratt. 11 —lt is with much sati , faction that I hire to inform you of something more than a mere prospect of the acknowledgment of the indepen dence of South America by the Spanish Government. which will, if admitted, put a stop to any further effu sion of blood on the other side of the Atlantic. The negociations which are going forward, are of a very conciliatory nature. EDIN finnan, Aram 23.—The great reflecting tele scope, constructed by s:r. Ramage of Ab •rtleen (of which an acconnt was read at a late meetin i , of the Royal Society of Edinburgh,) bas been recently erected in Queen Street, in the Garden of Alexander Young, Esq. of Harburn, who, in the most liberal man ner, devoted a portion of his ground fur the erection of this magnificent instrament. Excepting the 40 feet reflector of Dr. Herschel, this telescope is the largest ever tootle in Europe, and does great honour to its ingenious constructor, as well as the country in which it has been constrncted. Extract of a letter from a young gentleman, a mid shipman, in his Majesty's ship Tees, to his Littler in lioness, dated Port Louis, Isle of France, Nov. 5. 1% 4 11: I was recently ordered into an open boat belong ing to tt e Henrietta, tender to the Tees, which was cruising round the island to prevent the traffic in slaves with Madagascar. The boat was ectionanded by the master, Mr. (cordon, and we had been three weeks in her, when, on the 2Sth of Ortober, an unfortunate end was pat to our cruise. The Henrietta beating in sight, Mr. Gordon wished to see the officer cum her, when it coming to blow hard, and quite dark, our boat shipped a sea, and down she trent ; I could a little, and nith great difficnlty reached the reef. I immediately went to the barrack!, and sent off a boat to sate, if possible, my unfortunate companions, but the night being dark, nothing could be seen of them. Neit morning I went off' myself, and rowed about to see if 1 _mild get the bodies of our Master and the men, when at a little distance I perceived a number of large sharks with something they had got ; on nearing them I per ceived they were eating poor Mr. Gordon ; I fired at ta.e one who had him, which let go its bold, and I assisted one of the men in getting the remains into the boat, when an immense large shark came from under the boat and seised it from ns. It sprang so high out of the water, that we almost saw its whole body. Mr. Gordon is most deeply lamented by all in the Tees, and has left a wife and three children to bewail their irreparable loss. Governor Farquhar has concluded a treat? with the King of Madagascar, by which any persons in that island trading in slaves are to lose their heads, which we hope, will put an end to this horrid practice of trading in human beings." On Friday, the Majectic steam packet was lattm at Greenock in fine style. This vessel admeasures 345 tons; her length aloft is 144 feet, and breadth 39 feet, and she is to be propelled by two engines of the best construction, 50 horses power each. Four distinct cabins are to be fitted-np in her, with every auxiliary accommodation requisite for the comfort of the passengers, and for which the extensive dimen sions of the vessel give the utmost scope.

This perfortm.nee was contrary to the intention of its noble author, who, as be bad annoo need in his preface, never destined it for the stage. Those who are acquainted with his Lordships powerful ruins, will easily believe. in pe rusing this poem, that had Lord Bran:e intended it for representation, it would not have been difficult for him to produce a work more fit for the stage. The tragedy is so well known, that we need not speak of its merit as a poem. Its effect on the stage though interesting for its beautiful language and hold ideas, is tedious. The 1 , ,n4 sllilmiuies were never iateuded , for our theatrical audience. The amateurs of Lord Byron's poetry lis•enetl to them with great attention, hut many who go to the Play more for theatrical effect than for the sake of style, seemed rather tllssatistied.
