The Americans have been very successful in their fisheries at New South Shetland, discovered last year, by Capt. Smith, of Liverpool. Sixty-five thousand seals' skins, brought from thence, have been advertised for ale at Stunington, Connecticut, exclusive of those taught by Tenets of other Ports. The ship Ann, and brig Lady Trowbridge, of Liverpool, (England), and ship Clo►hier, from Salem, were totally lost on that de solate coast, in December last. Crews saved.

The St. Kitts paper contains a Proclamation of his Donor, Delap Wilson, Esq. Commander•in-(thief fur the time being in and over St. Christopher's, Nevis, Anguilla, and the Virgin Islands, allowing, for the space of six months, from 26th of February, 1421, staves, heading, boards,timber, and lumber of all sorts, to be imported from any Island in the West Indies, under the dominion of any foreign European Sovereign, or state, into the said island of St. Christopher, by British subjects, and in British vessels, owned and navigated according to law. New Brunswick papers have likewise arrived to the 9th Maw, front which we extract the following : Lertost TOR NEW HRENSWICR STAR, lIAT Extract of a letter from a Member of Parliament of London :—" I am now happy to inform yon that the Chamber of the Board of Trade has signified to me that an order will be made at the next meeting of the Council, for making St. Andrew's a free port, and placing it in all respects, on the same footing with ii.alifax and St. John's." In cAlling to onr recollection, during the present pause in the proceedings of Parliament, the measures that were meditated fur the amelioration of the coun try, the first that must occur are those which relate to the improvement of our Criminal Code, to the educa tion of the people, and to the asnendment of the laws for the relief of the poor. These are objects of un ques•ionable importance in every State ; and in our colutry. at the prevent period, from circumstances too obvious to need pointing oat, they have become of - e rosliar aid of urgent moment ; and had appeared I snore lihcly than any other to have obtained that coon tertAnce and concurrence which were necessary for their accomplishment. The labours of Sir SAMUEL itostmLy in the first of these great works, carried on for years with all that judgment. firmness and perse veranPe for which he was distinguished, had gra dually and extensively prepared the way for the exer tions of his successor ; and the attempts of Sir JAMES Mscntsyroen had, this Session, been renewed under auspices which promised complete success. How next' the effort . of this worthy Member b ec ame em barrassed in his progress ; how much his purposes be- Caine con•racted or sacrificed ; and how severely his principal aims were defeated in the end, are einem .stanees too recent and too mortifying to detail. From the seal, intelligence, and application of another Mau ler of the learned profession, who bad long devoted hisseW to the preparaden of a comprehensive lemurs _ THE. for the education of the rising geseratioi, the most san guine results bad been anticipated. In no. sago, could there have been found a mole numerous body of enlightened men disposed to co-operate in an" plan that was calculated to effect the ends professed. The ex pected measure was proposed; but, with a fatality that could not have been conceived, and cannot be too deplored, possessed upon its face those features which bad an immediate tendency to disgnst and alarm the very people who would otherwise have been the most likely to promote the professed object of the plan. Amidst the contending prejudices and parties through which Mr. BROUGHAM had to steer his course, we are aware he must have had to ,eneounter innumerable diffi culties. He, no doubt, 'aimed at securing the concur rence of that party and of that body which be believed would have theigreatest influence in accomplishing dot end in view. In Scotland he had found that the Ministers of the established church were of India pensible use in carrying on the admirable system of pa rochial schools that boarish in that part of the United Kingdom. lie appearespsowever, to forget the differ ence not only between the characters and habits of the Ministers in that country, and the Clergy in this, but between the religicnis feelfisgs and opinions that pre dominate in each. He forgot that in England a vast proportion of Dissenters are widely separated from the doctrine and discipline of the established church, while in Scotland the Seceders, though they differ from the Members of the Kirk on points of Church Government, concur in matters of faith. The con sequence has been that the measure he had framed be cause obnoxious to a very numerons and respectable portion of the nation, by the exclusion of them which it threatened from the management of the plan.— The interests of religious liberty were found to be endangered by it; and the Bill, after all the pains bestowed upon it, is suspended in its progress, and is expected to be withdrawn. The third great object of improvement aimed at, by a third dis tinguished member of the legal profession—the amend ment of the Poor Laws, our limit% will not allow us at present to notice. Its nature and tendencies, how ever, we shall endeavour to review on a future and The rumour which we noticed more than once live to sortie meditated shiftings among the member. of Administration, has not yet suhsided. A cautious and respectable paper of this morning, vrbich we quoted on the last occasion says, " We have avoided all notice of the reports in circulation with respect to a partial change of Ministers, because we could not give any information to our readers upon authority that could be relied on. The return of Mr. Canning from Paris, who was sent for expressly by Ministers, leaves no doubt of the negotiation which is afoot for a change, and in which it is proposed to recal that Gen tleman to the Cabinet, with an increase of considera tion. It is not,ive believe. esally settled, whether Ise shall take the situation of First lord of the Admi ralty, or that of Secretary for the Home Department. In case of the former arrangement, `..ortl Melville re moves to the Hume Department ; and at any rate, L'rd S.dmourit retires. Report says, that Mr. Canning desires to have the nomination of one frie;ol in the Ca- binet, and that this will be conceded to him." The Cattails:Moue!, one of the liberal Journals ofl Paris, contains the following article:—" A j.rurnal has announced that the King's Attorney-Oeneral at London, at the instance of the Ministers of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, is about to prosecute the Editor of a paper, who compared the Alliance of Alexander 1., Francis 11., and Frederic William 111., to the tri umvirate of (ktavius, Lepirlits, and Nlarc-Antony."— A ministerial paper of this morning says, " We do not understand that there is any foundation for this statement." It may then be asked, would an attempt of that kind be extraordinary or unprecedented ? Dur ing the peace of Amiens, it will be remembered, a prosecution took place, at the instance of the ministers of Buonaparte, against a London Editor for a libel. Advices of the 28th of February were received yes terday from Chili. °emend San Martin appears to have induced the secession from the cause of Spain of all the principal ports on the Pacific, together with many of the towns and dims icts of the interior ; thus drawing a cordon of insurrection on the land side of Lima, while the harbour of Callao is blockaded by Lord Cochrane. The English vessels captured by Lord Cochrane, on the ground that they had Spanish property on booed, have all arrived at Valparaiso for adjudication. The Captain of the Edward Ellice, considers his Loyd ship's Intention to have been to detain him with the Lord Suffield and the Indian, till Litna should sur• render, for adjudication there. The instant the l'om minder of the Andromache heard of the circumstance, however, he insisted on their being sent to Valparaiso. It is believed that the cargoes will be condemned, but that the vessels will be released. Two French ships of war, the Colosse, 74, and the Galatea frigate, ar rived off Lima the beginning of February; and pro ceeded a few days after to the port of 'Nacho. A fact of very considerable importance is communi cated in letters received from Cadis of the lbtls ►t is, that the two Commissioners sent by Bolivar from the Spanish Main (by him directed to treat with the Spanish Government), on their arrival at that port were detained, and informed by the Authorities of the place, that they could not be allowed to proceed further with out instructions from the King. This circumstance has given rise to much surmise. Ills Eseellency Don Luis Otis, Minister from Spaiu to this Court, arrived in London on Saturday evening. Nswenuirs' LATE WATERFORD BANIE.--LESt Tues day the Chancellor dismissed the Petition of a Debtor of the Bask fur leave to pay his engagement in bank securities pursuant to the recownsendition of a Meet ing of Creditors at Waterford and of another at Dublin.

Beside. the advancement of several Peers to higher titles, we have heard the names of Mr. Forrester, Sir James Siemeren, Sir Welkin Williuns Wynn, and two or *three Irish Peers to be made Uritish. Prince Leopold and the Duchess of Kent with the Princess Peodor, attended by Sir Robert Itartiner and Colonel Addenbroke, yesterday honoured Mr. Matthew Wyatt with a visit to view the three figures which he has finished in marble, for the Cenotaph to the memory of the late Princess Charlotte. Prince Leopold seemed much affected, and the Duchess appeared greatly inte rested; they expressed the highest admiration of the work. Qualm's Wsvcc—The watch subscribed for by the inhabitants of Coventry to be preseoted to h ..r Ma jesty, was on Tuesday and Wednesday last setbalitted to the Inspection of the public. The case is double hottest, with embossed edge, and consists of bee gold. The &al is also of fine gold, and represents the royal arms engraved in the centre, encircling the garter; the matte of the latter, " Evil be to him that evil thinks," and that of the arms, " God sad my right." at impressed in English. It has a rich friend irb i es ad, and the figures are of the Roman chat:ultra • bands are of the serpent pattern with steel poiats,i The movement is of the lever description, wi:b a de tacked escapement, the acting part of the escapement formed of rubies. The movement is principally of gold, the upper plate representing the Crown : and the works are kwelleil throughout with rubies, hav ing diamond ends. The watch is so constructed as to display the whole of the works through a (lase. The back of the cue has the following inscription :—" Pre sented to her Majesty Queen Caroline, as a mark of their esteem for her character and admiration of hir conduct under unmerited persecution. by the inhabit ants of the city and county of the city of Coventry, 1821." The watch is manufactured by Messrs. Mayo and Clark, and being in all its p its the entire produc tion of Coventry, may be regarded as a favourable specimen of the perfection which the art of watch making has attained in that city. New You, Arm L 30.—Mr. Kean's performance of Othello.last night. was such as to give universal satisfac tion, and elicited from adelighted audience almost unre mitting applause. Whatever doubts may have been en tertained of his talents as an actor, by those who saw him fur the first time on Monday eeeuine. we believe that the peblic sentiment is now very decided, that his merit justly entitles him to that admiration which lie lies so generally excited. Indeed, we do not recollect ever to have seen an audience more highly gratified. —(Rale. Fed.

We are informed that the Earl of Breidalbane, Lord Glenorchy, Sir Neil Menzies, and other Noblemen and Gentlemen in that part of the country, have subscribed in the most liberal manner towards establishing a coach between Duukeld and Kenmore, to communicate with the coach from Perth to Dunkeld. The commu nication between Perth and the Highlands will therehy be greatly facilitated. It is also said that a coach be tween Stirling and Lochearn-head is in contemplation, in the event of which a coach or noddy between Locheara-bead and Kenmore will he established, so as to have regular conveyances on the whole circle of the fashionable Highland tour.--(Perth Conrier.) G Le soow.—Of all the propel!' for improving and embellishing this city, there is none that seems so ju dicious as the following :—The plan is, to erect a mag nificent building at the bead of Virginia Street, and along Ingram Street , to com p rise a Merchant's Hall. Writer's Hall, Exchange, and Coffee-room. By thus combining the objects, the expense of each will be comparatively trivial. The situation is admirable ; and from the constant progress of the town westward, it may be considered central.
