OF THE KING OF SPA We are enabled to lay before our Readers the following Official Proclamation leaned by the King of SPAIN at Culla, on the Thirtieth of September, the day before he pub lished at Port Sint SI 4ry's the celebrot•d Decree by which he annulled every act dune nri.l:.r the Constitutional System, and announced that couree of persecution which he afterwards carried into effect by the decree of the 4th inst. From this important document, the authenticity of which is unquestionable, the infamy of Ferdinand, in his subsequent conduct, is rendered more aggravated and flagrant : PROCLAM tTIONT. " It being the first care of a King to promote the happiness of his subjects, end this being incompatible with the uncer tainty which at present hangs on the future destiny of the na tion, and of the individuals comprising it, I hasten to calm the anxieties and inquietuds arising from an apprehension that despotism will be established, or that it will be governed by factiou. (dentine I with the tritiim, I have with her run every hazard of the war to the last, but the imperative law of necessity compels a termination to it. Udder the difficulty arising from these circumstances, my powerful voice alone can chase from kingdom vengeance and persecution." Toe preamble goes on to state Ferdinand's anxiety to dissi pate the horrors which threatened Cadiz, and to put an end to the disasters of war, with which view he had resolved to quit tie city °is the suc..3eiling day, prevhusty making known his alinements in the following manifestation : " I. I declare from my own free and spontaneous will and promise, under the faith and security of my Royal word, that if it rioold be found necessary to make any alteration in the exieting political institutions of the Monarchy. I will establish a Government which shell cause the complete felicity of the nation, guaranteeing the security of the persons, property, and civil liberty of the Spanish people. " .2. In like manner. I promise. of my own free and spon taneous will, and have resolved to carry into effect, a general act of oblivion, complete and absolute, for all that is past, without any exception, in order that by so doing, tranquillity, confidence, and union, so necessary to the common good, may be established among the Spanish people, and which my pa ternal heart so earnestly yearns after. " 3. In like manner, I promise, that whatever change may be made, the public debts and obligations contracted by the nation, and by my Government, under the preseut system, shall be acknowledged.. " 4 I also promise and assure, that all the Generals, chiefs, officers, sergeants. and corporals, of the army and navy, who have hithert • attached themselves to the existing system of Government, in whatever part of the Peninsula, shall preserve their grades, employments, sal ries, and honours; and in like manner all • thee mili'ary functionaries shall preserve theirs, and also those civilians and ecclesiastics, who have followed the Government and the Cortes, who depend on the existing system ; and those who by reason of the reductions which may be made, ennoot preserve their employments, shall enjoy at the least, one half the salaries which they now have. S. I declare aid aiisure equally, that as well the %Ma Volunteers of 'Madrid, of Seville, and of other places, who may now be in this is lend. as also whatever other Spaniards may have taken refute in it, who are not by reason of their em ployments onliged to remain, may from this moment freely re turn to their homes. or transfer themselves to any part of the lingdoin the) may t6i.tk proper, under the fullest security of nut belay molested at any time on eccouiit of their anterior political conduct or opinions ; and the miiilla who may be in need of it, will obtain for their journey the same assistance as the individuals composing the. Government army. Spaniards of that class, and strangers who may wish to quit the kingdom, may do so with equal liberty, and w:11 obtain the necessary passports for the country where it may suit them to go.

OCT. 14,—The we•%thee having been dry and favourable since Saturday, a good deal of grain was yester day safely lodged in the stack yards. A considerable atm ber of shearers and potatoe diggers were engaged at the Cross this morning. Wages were the tkuue as those formerly a btaine& Up to yesterday the weather in this quarter was again as bad as bad could be; raining more or less every night and day, with ao interval sufficient to allow the farmer to carry home a single stook. On Friday evening we had several vivid flashes of lightning, followed by hail so heavy and bitter, that the ground in some places was covered to the depth of half an inch. The consequence of all this has been great anxiety on the part of the husbandman, and ad ditional expense in the ingathering of the crops. One farmer in this neighbourhood pays that the vicissitudes of the weather will cost him ten poun ds ' extra to his workers this season, while the frequent handl ng of the crops. and particularly potato oats, will. in some places, leave as much grain in the fields as would almost be sufficient to sow them. Around this town almost all the grain is carried excepting oats; but up the country there is not only much to lead. but a good deal to cut. In speaking of the weather, our Kirk cudbright correspondent says, a great proportion of the crop in this neighbourhood remains in the field,and another week of such weather as the past, will injure it materially —nay, I may almost say, destroy it altogether." Yesterday, however, and last night, were quite dry; and a s this morn ing look s ' promising, we should imagine there will he a good deal of leading in the afternoon. A few more days of good weather will do much to silence all complaints on the subject of the harvest in Dumfries, and most of the principal towns in Galloway, the prices of grain are merely nominal at present.—(Dentfries Courier.) Several woodcocks have already been killed in the neigh bourhood of Exeter. One was seen at Eeminster. on the 4st inst. and shot at by four gentlemen, but escaped. THE kTRICALS. +- MR. Macasaor performed the character of Hamlet last night in a most inefficient manner. It is very unfortunate that this excellent performer will not be content with the parts adapted to his peculiar powers. We regret to see him in any character to which we cannot afford unqua lified praise ; and Hamlet is one of those which an enemy would select to shew his deficiency. lie his throe beauties in it, but they are mere indications of the existence of the sun behind the clouds that conceal him. We have neither Hamlet, nor MACREADY; but a composition in which nothing but mis conception is conspicuous. He has evidently been attempt. ing to bend Hamlet to his style of acting: but it is too stubborn for the moulding ; and little becomes him in it, except his death. To make matters as bad as they could he, the play was weakly cast ; and the performers are not chargeable with any excessive exertion to make themselves more ageeable than was expected. Mrs. GLovea has nut re covered from her cold. Mr. WALLACE is an odd ghost. Mr. MIIRCBR obliged ns by taking the part of Laertes; anti we thank him for it. Miss POYEY was the Ophelia, we know not why ; nor are we in possession of the secret why TERRY played Polonius, instead of Mostoetv. But managers are absolute, and audiences good-natured. When Mr. MACREADY observed, that,' When the wind was northerly, he knew a !mak from a handsaw,' he seemed to ' think that there were many before him who did not. DOWTON'S grave-digger was extremely good. We were glad to see that he dispensed with the waistcoat foolery, and contented himself with taking off one jerkin. The origin of the custom of wearing four or five, it would be curious to trace. In the instructions to the players, Shak speare says:—" Let your fools speak no mote than is act down for them." Might not same wag, offended at being forbidden the use of his tongue to his full liking, have hit upon the waistcoat mummery, as a new me thod of " setting some quantity of barren spectators to laugh." THEATRICAL CRITICISM AND RETALIATION. (PROM THE BRIGHTON HERALD.) Pomce.—At the sitting of Magistrates, on Monday. (present Sir David Scott, Bart. and It. Ironmonzer, and ft. Parker, Ewa ) Mr. S. Chapman, one of the performers at our theatre, appeared, by virtue of a salmons, to answer for an assault, %Welt he hail committed on Mr. Cohen.—Mr. Cohn, being sworn, stated, that while walk ing down North Street, about two o'clock in the afternoon of Friday, the 10th instant, lie nag suddenly attacked by Mr.Chapenan, who, calling out, "Maud wide, scoundrel,`" struck him on the cheek, spit in leis lace, and stamped upon his ton. On being asked by Sir David Scott, what be had to say in respect to this charge? Mr. Chapman un equivocally admitted it to be true, at the same time ex• preesing his sorrow for his conduct. Ile wished, however, if the Bench would allow him to give his reasons fur having assaulted Mr. Cohen. Mr. Chapman then pro ceeded to state, that from thee commencement of the season, Mr. Cohn, had held hint up to the ridicule of the public, particularly by some *cruet-Bons remarks in the shape of a critique, which he bad written on his per formance of the Duke limns 's in the Honey Moon; this critique, Mr. Cohen had, by his own statement, written previously to the performance. And he submitted to the Bench, whether such conduct (which had, moreover, en dangered his situation) was nut calcula:ed to rouse the blood of any man; Sir David Scott here observed that the Magistrates had nothing to du with any thing but the assault ; but, added the Baronet, as this affair has excited considerable interest. the Bench will have ,no objection to hear the whole particulars of the case, in order that the parties might have an opportunity of setting themselves right in the opinion of the public. A newspaper, contain ing the critique in question. was then procured, and a very curious scene maned. The real question, the assault. seemed to be forgotten, and a titeattint notice, which appeared in our paper so long ago as the 311th of August, was made, by the Bench, a subject of as intense a scrutiny, as was ever, a cries. coos. case or a barbarous murder! The whole of the male part of the corps dranialique as. sembled on the occasion; and took a most direly interest l in the proceedings. Well aware of the stimula tin g e ff ect !of applause, those Gentlemen gave two rattling peals to the worthy Baronet, who so fearlessly undertook the perilous task of criticising our critic.—Sir David deliberately went through the article above alluded to, and expressed his indignation at the horrid fact of its having been written, all but three lines, previously to the performance on which it affected to treat. It was in vain that Mr. Cohen explained. The Magistrate did not like his cAticistn any more than Mr. Chapman; and, after offering some trite observations on the liberty of the pres, peremptorily refused to grant him the protection which he sought. The case was closed by Sir David Scott requesting that Mr. Chapman would pledge to him, (Sir David) not in his individual capacity, his honour that he would nut commit any further breach of the peace towards Mr. Cohen ! • request, which Mr. Chapman very graciously acceded to. The decision of the Bench, in this affair. has excited veneral astonishment. The Lord Lieutenant has directed that a sum of 401 should be divided, in equal shares, between two female ser rants, who very laudably came forward at the last Assizes ' and prosecuted to conviction. some of those persons who have so long disgraced this County by their atrocities. — (Cork Paper.) New METEOROLOGICAL Socrevr.—On Wednesday evening, a new Society for the encouragement of Meteorology was established on the most liberal basis, by a general meeting, called for that express purpose, and held at the London Coffee House. Dr. Birkbeek was in the Chair; and Mr. Luke Howard, Dr. Forster, and numerous other Meteorologists were present. A regular Society was formed, to which the scienti fic persons were invited to become members, from all parts of the world. The following singular, and, to the parties chiefly inter ested. most vexatious occurrence, took place at St. James's Church, in this town, last week :—A young couple pre sented themselves at the altar, and the marriage ceremony bad proceeded until the intended bridegroom arrived at the part wherein he said—" I take thee, Susan, for my wedded wife ," upon which the officiating min►ster observed, that however painful it was to stop the progress of the ceremony, yet his duty imperatively required that he should proceed no further, the name of the lady. as published in the bans, being " Sarah," and not Susan. After some ineffectual remonstrance with the clergyman, to induce him to wave his objection, the frustrated lovers retired from the church, to reconcile themselves, in the best manner they could, to this mortifying disappointment. — (Taunton Courier.) WEEKLY REGISTER OF WEATIIER.—The first four days of this week were chilly and cloudy. Some rain fell early on Sunday and Monday mornings, as well as occasionally during the latter day and Tuesday. On Monday there was a boister ous wind, on Tuesday morning a dense fag, and on Wednes day and Thursday nights. there were haloes round the moon. Thursday and Friday were fair, serene and bright. This day was foggy in the morning, wet in the forenoon, and, has since been steady. The quantity of rain fallen here since Saturday last, amounts to 22 hundredths of an inch. Strand, Oct. IS.

Jet-Mani li l ies, Mr. James Jones fanner was walking the Fore Street with Mr. Furlong and Mr. Hero ; wt,ile they were stand. ing near Watson's shop, opposite to Penny's, they saw Dr. C. give a boy fruit which he had just purchased; after a short time the Doctor and buy crossed, and went down South Street, on the right side; we followed them on the left to the Friars ; did not lose sight of tivm; in the first part of the street, the boy walked at a short distance behind, but when they came to the descent of the street, they walked 'side by side ; they walked rather fast; when we came to the Friars, I walked with the tallest of the boys and went through the ave. nue by Gale's, the painter, to the Friars walk, when we cave on the walk, we sent the boy behind the racks, but we continued on the walk ; saw defendant on the walk, but could not distinguish how they stood ; but passing them again, it seemed that the Doctor was hiding the boy from as ; returning the second time, the buy was walking away on to the further end of the path ; we then determined to speak to the Doctor, who was moving to wards us.

The Lord Mayor stated the case, and was cross-exemia ed at considerable length, and with much ingenuity, by Mr. Finley.

BIRMINGHAM, Oct. 14.—Mr. %V. Sadler announced last week that lie should ascend in his Balloon from this toots oo Saturday last, but the weather on that day being unfavourable, the ascent was deferred until yesterday; the tilling took place in an enclosed spot (admittance to which was3s. 6d.) near the Crescent. Air. Sadler's companion was Mr. James Busby, of this town, who paid 26 guineas for the excursion. Every thing being ready, at a quarter before three p.m. the aeranants ascended the car, and in a few moments the shouts of an almost countless multitude announced that the ascent had commenced ; the immense machine rose most majestically, and continued in sight for 22 min., to the great delight of the spectators: it appeared at last only a dark point in the heavens; in about half an hour the descent was safely effected near Everley, between Stourbridge and Kidderminster: Mr. Sadler proceeded to the former place, where having dined, he, with his com panion, returned to this town. Dears BY A TREAD WBEEL.—.% most unfortunate ac• cident happened in the Sivalfliain Gaol on Saturday last. As William Burton Peeling, who had been working iin the tread wheel, was resting hiruself in the usual routine, oil i the wheel. be very ncautionsly kneeled down by the partition which separates one working class from another, fur the purpose of conversing with the persons in the next diyision (which is contrary to the orders of the prison), and, it is supposed, that in thawing himself back lie lifted his bead within the wheel, which drew him in, and crushed him to death in an instant. It appears by the evidence upon the Coroner's inquest, that he bad been holding a conversation two or three times berme on that morning, in the same manner, with the persons of the adjoining class. The Coroner's inquest was taken the next day, and the unanimous verdict of the Jury was as follows:—" Wm. Burton Peeling came to his death by inadvertently and incautiously kneeling down, and was caught by the tread wheel." We understand that the posaitilityof such an accident in future is now prevented by closing up that small aperture by which Peeling attempted to hold a con versation with the next clan.—(Norwich ilcrcwry.) ma exisi I,a>> e sea
