It is stated as a curlew' fact, that r i me deputies, though so recently the subjects of a G ov ernment sulErieotly despotic, entertained Rrinci ries so liberal. or rattier so democracies', that they meditated the istroilection of some law for modifying r..e power of the President. General Romaine, who bid been detained as a State prisoner at Leogene on 't is said has been shot by secret orders from. prole, t the (; overu meat . It was supposed he had been de meted in carrying on secret pondence with the north, with a view to revolutionise that quarter. By the following notice yesterday, at Lloyd's, it would appear that our Governmeat has at last afforded some protection to our merchants' cons mem in the West Indies :—" His Majesty's ship Tyne, and a frigate, Isavieg cagier convoy twenty sail from Jamaica, pet into Gamine on the 16th of August." The "Secret Service" on which his Majesty's ships Medway end Southampton sailed the latter end of last month, from Portsmouth, is believed to be no other than the estirmination of the Pirates at Cape St. An toci°, and that they are empowered to take possession of dl places which have become the haunts of those f ree booters in that quarter. The last time this subject was brought before the House of Commons, it was stated that negoeiations were pending with Spain with a view to suppress effectually those disgraceful and horrible depredations. It is now understood that the negociations have been attended with the wished for 'mew so much so, indeed, that the Spanish Consti tshooal Government has permitted us to take such steps in any part of the territory or possessions over whirh it still shims sovereignty, as may be necessary for the protection of our commerce. It is also said that Sir William Acoort's mission to Madrid, and the friend chip between the two Courts which it indicates, are sot stwoooected with the foregoing concession. 111 that ease, it remains to be seen what arrangement has been wade with Spain respecting the recognition of South American Independence ; for blinisters certainly gave Parliament to understand that this most important sub ject was included in the negociations already noticed. YORTsitucTil, OCT. 7.—Yesterelay arrived his Ma. its ten chip Genres, of 84 guns, and Trapeze, 46 guns, Captain Itieleardsoo, from the East Indies. Captain F. A. Collier brought the Ganges to England ; she was frailt at Bombay, and has brought home the flame wurk of two other ships, and between her and the Topes 450,000 dollars. Transports were taken op to brill home the 65th regiment from India, and the regiment may be shortly expected, as also the 11 . h regiment. We noderstaod that Rear-Admiral Sir Benjamin Ilateofteil, E.C.8., is about shortly to proceed on a 'foie in the Glocester, 74, which ship has been nen ',rimed on the plan of Sir Robert Seppings, of the !idly Board, with a r-nod stern. Her compliment ail be increased to 400 men, by taking the crew of ntegnarel-ships, and by marines from head-quarters. The object of the Lords of the Admiralty, in mending the Glocester to sea at this season of the year, is to as terrain, in severe weather, what advantages are to be derived from the peculiar manner of building ships on this principle.—(llensprAire Citywide.) Ma. JUSTICI Pass,—(From the iftridatterer Gerard. taa.)—We rnentiqued, cursorily, in our paperer the 14th u1t.11.1, the laying of the foundation stone of a new Act el a'arliameat Church at Preston, by Mr. Justice Park, the Recorder of the borough. We did not then notice 4hy portion of the speech which the learned Judge utter ed us the occasion ; bat shall now insert a few ,rel ates of it, as preliminary to an exposition of its caporal- Med humbug:—" I am extremely happy that it was in the power of my son to give a site for one of them (the thatches) upon his estate, the foundation of which has, by the blessing of Almighty God, now been laid: but I eta still more happy that be has bad the inclination to bestow this portion of his property, on which to found a Leese fur time due worship of Gal; and, I hope, for spi titaal comfort and edification of his fellow -townsmen. Ventlemea, it has been the wisdom of pions men, who , hare bad the means, In all ages of the Christian church, to appropriate a part of their substance to build tem-1 Iles where God might be fitly and decorously wor. shipped; thasbespeaking a reverend remembrance of his Lune, and a laudable desire to make his praise glorious. Every effort, therefore, of societies of men —every OW- ens or benevolent deed of individuals for establishing or extending the church on earth—is a co-operation with the rilamielaty in promoting the accomplishment of par poses, which must ever have been the object of hie gra cious attention from the foundation of the world. How gratifying is the thought to a pious breast of being ' a worker together with God !' " No one, of course, could doubt 51r. Justice Park's happiness at his son's posses sion of an " estate I" bat the pretences put forth in the preceding extract make it proper that the real eircum stantes under which a portion of that estate has been de voted to " pious uses" should be made known. It ap- pears, thee, that such is " the wisdom of pious men" at Preston, that there was actually a contention between Mr. Justice Park's son and Mr. J. Pedder, the banker, which should frier the land whereon to build the ( SSub, both being disposed to " . ppropriate a part of their substance" to this purpose. In mot of fact, it is awned, that private influence was used to induce the Lemeduioners to take Mr. Park's land. in preference to that which was offered by hi r. Pedder. Now for the ob i'vt of this " co-operation with the Almighty."

Wittycntrecti.—The attention of the fashionable world has lately been a good deal occupied by the singular manner in which Lord Portsmouth was removed from Edinburgh, and the proceedings consequent thereon.— Lady Portsmouth, being near her confinement, did not follow her Lord immediately, but remained in the north till she gave birth to an heiress. Mr. Newton Pellowes, the heir at law to the Portsmouth property, since the removal, and since the return of his Lordship to Whit church, is said to have been constantly about the person of his Lordship. Some differences having arisen between the noble pair, Lord Portsmouth, it appears, interdicted her Ladyship's return to Whlrrhurch ; but she, Insisting on her right as consort to the Noble Lord, had refused to yield obedience to the mandate. On Saturday, Dr. Bankhead and another gentleman arrived at the splendid seat of the peer, and announced that Lady Portsmouth having recovered from her ac conchement, was then on the road to Whitchurch, to which place she repaired for the purpose of insisting on being received as the consort of his Lordship. The pre.' cise answer given to this intimation has not transpired, but it certainly was not "a weloome home." Between fear and five o'clock au open carriage and four, with two postilions, followed by two serva nts wearing the Portsmouth liveries, was seen approaching Whitchurch. In the carriage her Ladyship was seated, and with her a nurse with the infant. On the way the postilioas greeted the coaches they passed with load b ems. They travelled with extraordinary speed; so much so, that the servants could not without difficulty keep up with the carriage. Arriving at the White Hart at Whitchurch, her Ladyship alighted, and rested for some time. The people of Whitchurch were all on the alert to wit mess the experiment, and a variety of whimsical reports werein circulation. A number of the townsfolk were assembled in front of the gates of the park, and within a party of men, dressed in smockfrocks, and others ap parently labourers, were drawn up, as it should moos, for the purpose of opposing, by main force if necessary, that entrance on which her Ladyship was expected to insist. Just beyond the lodge, one or two timber car riages were placed, without horses, to obstruct the way. These were so disposed, that it was impussible fora carrige to pass either on the right or to the left of them, on account of the obstructing trees. Matters thus re mained when our informant left Whitchurch at five in the afternoon, at which hour the advance of her Lady ship from theism was momentarily expected.—(Morsdag Paper.) CONTAGION IN GALWAT..--We feel • peculiar degree of pleasure In acquainting our reader., that those exertions which we have hitherto so repeatedly made, to impress the public with the necessity for the esta blishmeat of a Board of Health, who will tabs all possible measures of precaution against an increase of the •wfel calamity with which the unfortunate inha bitants of this town have been so long, and so severely afflicted, are at length likely to be crowned with suc cess —(Galway Paper.) An Infirmary and Diapensary are ordered to be opened at Galway, to which Government has remitted a sum of 1001. for the object. Amax Pouce.—About the hour of eleven o'clock l on Saturday night, Mr. Nicholas Martin, stationer, of No. 16, Upper Stephen-street, was alarmed by a great noise, accompanied by • violent shrieking, which seemed to proceed from a yard at the rare of hie house. —There is a house situate in the rere of that yard, which Is kept by a woman named Mary Gorman. Mr. Martin proceeded there, in order to ascertain the cause of the great shrieking, w►en he met in the yard, as coming from the bone of Mary Gorman, a young fe male about sixteen years of age, who exclaimed, "Oh! he wanted to seduce me!" She subsequently told Mr. Martin that she had been forcibly detained in the house for the purpose of prostitution. She admitted that she bad consented to take a glass of punch with a man with whom she was acquainted, and that he brought her there, telling her that it was • public-house. As soon as she entered it, she saii that she suspected it was not a proper place that he brought her to. and that she endeavoured to make her escape. bat was forcibly pre vented. Prom the state of disorder in which the girl's clothes were, it was evident that the assault committed on her must have been violent. She refused to tell her name, or where she lived, to Mr. Martin, who went with her as far as Kevin's Port. Mary Gorman, the owner of the house, has been taken into custody. Informations were yesterday lodged against her, at the Head Police- Office, for keeping a house of ill fame, and she has been committed to 1\ ewgate to take her trial at the next Sessions. A man named Thomas Owens, was charged at James's street Police Office, by a Mr. Roger Farrell, with having attempted to commit a rape on a child only thir teen years of age. Sales of farming stock under exeentions continue numerous in this neighbourhood, and our correspond ents in various parts of Devonshire and Somerset state similar evidences of the difficulties of the times. At a sale of We description in the swig hhourhood of Taunton last week, prime ewes sold at 13s. 6.1. per head, and other stock at similar depressed prices. Near Stal bridge, a few days since, the stock of a farmer about to quit the premises could not find purchasers even at the p oo prices. A very superior cow put up at 51., met no advance above that sum ; and after offer ing sheep and stock equally low, the auctioneer ad journed the sale without' disposing of a single lot.— (Sherberce Paper.) The following is from the Dublin Freeman's Jour. nal:—" Any thing like the dearth of money at pro sent prevailing all over the counties of Cork, Clare. Limerick. and Kerry, has not been known in those districts in the memory of the oldest inhabitants. With regard to rest, it is scarcely to be had under any circumstances. The tenant does not hesitate to tell the landlord, that lie has it not to pay, nor does he know when he shall be able to render any other ac count. Hie tillage when brought to market does not realism the 'Rpm/ of producing it, and his cattle when brought to the fair are sold, after twelve months' pas wage and herding, for less than the first cost, or driven back to the farm to be disposed of at a still smaller price after another interval, during which, of course, an additional charge has been incurred." We greatly regret to hear. that a most melancholy occurrence has lately taken piece in the family of . Viscount Dillon, at Florence ; hls Lordship's second son, an interesting and very promising youth of four. teen, having fallen into a reservoir in his garden, where be perished. It is stated, that the lamented yosog gentleman's afflicted parent, the Viscountess Dillon. witaessed the heart-rending scum—(.plays Paper.)

COVENT GAIDEN TIIEATRE. Lest night the comedy of th e Vic Jealous IV(fr was pear l ised - , in which Miss C from the York thea tre, made her first appearance as Mrs. Oakley. It was as the hills described it, a first appearance " on this stage," but if we mistake not, the same Lily appeared • few seasons groat Drury-lane Theatre in tragic cha racters. Mrs. Oakley is one of those parts, which, under a comic shape, presents al with an exhibition of strong passion, and so far, though the line was different, the principle of excitement was similar to that of the other Muse, at whose altar we believe this Lady to hare paid her first devotions. In fact, Mrs. Oakley has nothing to do but mutifest the feeling of jealousy in the stronfeat possible manner short of suicide, or the murder of her husband, and the situations in which she is placed must provoke mirth and laughter. Miss CHISTIR exhibited the pasaioo with considerable power, and though her sometimes betrayed a tendency to over-acting, especially in the commencing scenes, the whole effort was of the most promising kind, indeed so promising, as to warrant very high expectations, taking fair credit for the assist ance which industry le capableof affording to talent. If she had bees less anxious to produce effect at the begin ning, and before the circumstances of the drama had made their strong demand, the advantage of contrast would have btu more striking when she came to exert her powers at their full stretch. Still, however, netwith alluding this disadvantage, which not only theatrical artifice, but natural progress of character and passion will suggest,, the propriety of avoiding the stronger genes, weroclot without their impression under her ma eagement. The Interview with Lady Freelove afforded • happy instance of the avidity with which trifles are seized upon to give colour to the worst suspicions, and we should not omit to notice that Mrs. Grans, as Lady Freeloor, assisted materially in the comedy of the scene. Her pathetic and even maternal comments no the liber ties taken by the other sex were irresistibly ludicrous, and her laughter on the exit of her temporary victim more then compensated for any want of elegance which criticism might be disposed to observe in the general colouring of the character. In the last scene Miss Cons ent sustained the promise announced, by her perform aoce of this one ; and we have lit* hesitation in saying, that, if she succeeds in following up the impression of last night's performance, sbe will soon become a remark able performer even on the London boards. The other characters were cast as usual—Mr. Jonas was quite in his element as Lord Trinket. Mr. FAWCETT was very humorous as Sir Harry Heeler, perhaps the only objec tless to which it was liable was one which he cannot cor rect; if he was& little youger it would have looked more like the Poet's draught. Miss Poore, who continues to improve greatly, afforded an additional instance of it in the performance of last night, and the whole was so well received, that an attempt was made by the audience to resist the announcement of another piece, in order to ob tain the substitution of this comedy. We were not sorry to find that this kind of interposition was resisted, though we joined most cordially in the general feeling by which the attempt was dictated. FONTNILL ABBEY, MONDAY EVENINO.—The report here is, that the whole property is disposed of. Ail access to the house is barred. Several persons who ar rived, proposing to attend the sale, have applied (as matter of favour) for half an hour's admission ; hut the Chevalier Franci (the St. Peter of the place) his an swered all such requests, althoweb courteously, in the negative. Neither the name nor:the rink of the pur chaser (if there be one) is officially stated ; but the best authenticated rumour pots the deed upon Mr. Farquhar, a gentleman who is said to have amassed a large fortune in the East Indies. biaaamoit AcTe—We are officially authorised to correct a ;magma which appeared in our paper of the ataFirtluik two persons had ter convicted (*elju I before the justices at Sou t b S hields. for making a fah* affidavit under the late marriage act, in order to the publication of banns in a different parish from that in 'which they were actually residing. No such conviction did or could take plate before Joe -1 tices assembled in petty sessions ; but we have reason to believe that the matter is likely to undergo enquiry before the proper tribunal.—(Neweastle Courant.) BRTTBR LATH THAN Nevan.—On Monday last an equestrian statue in bronze of his late Majesty was erected in Liverpool.

CATIIIDRAL or ROULN.—Siece the disastrous event of the fire, men have been emVoyed in clearing away the rubbish. The extent cf the injury done by the fire has been folly ascertained. Several parts of the church escaped. The chapel of the Holy Virgin is untouched. The sacristy has not been consumed, as it was supposed ; the roof only suffered in the fall of the pyramid. The part of the arch tv,liich supported the pyramid was very much injured by the fury of the flames. It is expected that it will be possible to repair it, and to preserve to religion a magnificent edifice. it will still be worthy of admiratio". A meeting was to bare taken place yesterday morn. ing, at six o'clock, in the Hackney-fields, between Mr. J.O —as. an eminent bitilder, and Mr. C--11, an Irish gentleman, residing in the neighbourhood of Hackney. The dispute arose out of some building transaction. Mr. J. C—ns sent a challenge to Mr. C—ll. The bearer of the message was informed by Mr. C—II, that he accepted the challenge, and should be punctual ill Lill attendance, with his second, at the time and place appointed. Mr. J.

We cannot, however, avoid noticing the con duct of a bitch, belonging to Mr. Callen, of the Crown and Thistle inn, Loughborough, which, the other day, brought forth four puppies : after their being drowned in • bucket of water, and thrown aside, she sought diligently, and found one of them, which, though ap parently dead, she found means to restore, by doubling herself up, and warming it, and by now and then shaking it violently in her mouth. flue transient was her joy, fora relapse took place , and its death quickly followed. She then carried it to a complete grave which she bad previously prepared for it, and buried it with tears in her eyes, and bowling as if in the ut most grief. We are informed, that there are now in Mr Parr's garden and orchard, steolwiek, two apple blossom, and bearing rips fruit at the same time.— (Nottingham Review.)

Denux, Ocr. j. —On Natnrday, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, together with Counsellor Castle*, ai Sane,: schal of St. Thomas's Court and Denote, eat at the Man 'ion-house, to inquire into a charge of fraud, alleged to have been lately committed hp souse of the shipperi of boater, to the great injury of the character of the Port of DnhPn. The investigation was instituted by the Cramere of Dublin, who state, that the freed of which they chiefly complain, is, that the brand of the Inspectors, (whose ditty ails to mark the qualities of Ist, ?„ds, 3ds, and 4th', Ike.) Isaaheen forged. What led to this present investigation was, that some brands were found in the posses4on of • man named Dennis Mooney, a brand-cutter, and who had the la spector's brand bringing home to the person who em ployed Min. Mooney had been summoned before the Lord Mayor on Friday, and attended on that day, ac companied by Counsel ; it appeared, however, that the summons then granted was informal. A fresh *mi nions was then issued under the 30th section of the Butter Act, requiring Mooney's attendance as a witness, at four o'clock on SL.turday, at the Mension-lsonse. Counsellor Green attended at the hour appointed, en the part of the prosecution, but there was no appearance nn the part of Mociney. The service of the summons on Mooney was then proved and a record of his nonappear ance taken, by order of the Lord Mayor and Counsellor Castles, who evinced on this occasion a most laudable de t-rmination to " protect the character of the Export Trade of this City." A criminal proceeding will, we understand, be inatituted against Mooney. CORN-Excuarace, Ocr. 9.—There was but a small supply of fresh Grain in this morning., owieg to the boisterous state of the weather. Fine samples of Wheat maintain last Monday's prices, and but little is doing in any other sorts. Barley remains without alteration. Beans and Peas fully support our last quotations. Thu quantity in market being hut small, Flour has rather a doll sale, anti the business, in general, in the Market is slack. Variona eircemstancoa have tended to create a general expectation of a losig and colifirmation of which we may notice the early ap pearance of large numbers of winter birds.

At the close of last week excellent potatoes were selling at the quip here, at the unprecedented low price of 44. per perk ; and we have heard of their being purchased in bolls at 41. 6d.

Oh the night of Thursday sennight, some incendi aries set fire to the premises of Mr. Oraddon, of Win atop Estate, and Mr. Nicholls, of Brightly Barton. two highly respectable farmers, in the parish of ebittle hampton, near Barnstaple, whereby a barn, with fifty bushels of wheat, two linhays, containing threshing ma. chines, outhouses, dke, &c. were destroyed. It appears that the farms are about a mile apart ; and, as there was an intervals( half en hour between the fires, it is expected the same party were concerned. It Is supposed that the diabolical act was committed on account of threshing machines being used on the farms. We un derstand that enonyntons letters had been found on the premises, threatening the lives and property of the oc capiers.—(lbid.) We understand that the farmers in the parish of Hartland have bound themselves not to use their threshing machines for three years, in order to give more labour to the poor. Many farmers in the neigh bourhood of Bideford have also laid up their machines. The herring fishery Las commenced in Bideford Bay. but hitherto very few fish bate been taken. Tiverton fair on Monday last was amply supplied with fat bullocks and sheep; but never was there experienced a duller ule.

A consider. able sum of money, which had been received at the Bank in exchange for the forged notes, but which had been converted into gold. was also seized. The sum though considerable, was by nn means so great as one would have expected; as the forger being completely isolated, and having no assistant, could only forge a very small quantity. It is certain that be had no accomplice ; and this attempt may therefore be looked upon as a complete failure. On Sunday night last a dwelling-house on the lands of Itosestown, near 'Flanks, together with a quantity of wheat, was burned, we have every reason to suppose maliciously. The house was occupied by one Miles Hough, who, as well as his wife, son, and a man named Carroll, narrowly escaped. Oil being awoke by the barking of a dog and the lowing of a cow, they discovered the house in flame% and had merely time to escape when the roof fell in. Major Wilson, the chief Magistrate, investigated this trim*. action, and we hope, in ear neat publication, to tw able to commonieete the particulars.—(Cloootel .Id.)

Some persons are of opinion, that when these birds make their eppear ance so very early it indicates a hard winter; this cannot be an invariable rule, for Mr Davis, in beat ing over the same ground, on the following day, dis covered a nest, with two young woodcocks, ball grown, which are now alive, and in his p ion, and are likely to live. Sorest a euriosi-y are those birds that many hundreds have visited Mr. D.'s fios pitahle moleskin to see them.
