COLUMBIAN LOAN. --ar A panic wet produced yesterday 'Moog the holders of thisSteck, which led to some very latge sales, and, for a short period, tea serious depression of the price, in co wmen of the arrival of the sneezed proclamation. f o r was considered on to imug Mr. Zee's authority r eoec l u diag the ctract. p It n is obvious, however, Prow the date of the document, which le the let ofJune, that the Columbian Ooverement could not at that pe riod have received intelligence of the negotiation. and that it has therefore no reference to it whatever. Whe tter the ambiguous expression that " Mr. Zes is alone authorised to interfere in the political affairs specially ander his charge, according to his instructions," is went to deprive him of the power to negotiate a loan, would be best answered by a publication on the part of the costracters, of the authority ender which they lent their own money, and induced the public to become s i o cen with them in the uodertakiag.

The transfer of the superintendence of the Falmouth Packet Establishment from the Post-Office to the Admi ralty, has, it appears, been determined on by his Ma jesty's Ministers. This much has been stated in reply to applications which bare been made to the T r y on the subject ; but it is also stated that nothing bas, as yet, been decided on respecting the removal of the esta blishment from Falmouth ; and it was added, on one occasion, at least, that nothing would be done bat solely with reference to convenience and economy. On dose grounds the County of Cornwall is wall-disposed to rest the question.— A meeting of the inhabitants of Falmouth took plat at the Ouildhall,on Tuesday, when the Mayor being to the Chair, a number of Resolutions relative to the appre. headed removal of the packets, and which had been adopted by the Committee on the preceding day, were submitted, and a subscription to defray the necessary exp as proposed. The Resolutions were anent mously approved, and a subscription immediately en tered into. A deputation has been appointed to visit the different Boroughs and Coporate Towns io the County, to lay before them those Resolutions, which will be found in another part of our paper, and to request their en-operation in the object in view. A requisition for a County Meeting, most respectably signed, was presented to the High-Sheriff, yesterday, 1n compliance therewith he has convened • Meeting of the nobility, gentry, clergy, and freeholders of the county, at Bodmie, for the 25th lust. The Mayor of Truro has also convened a meeting of the Burgesses and Inhabitaate, for to-morrove, (Saturday.) The other Boroughs and Towns will lose no time in followiug the example. The people of Cornwall will do their duty, and come forward, " ON■ AND ALL." on this import ant occasion. It may, however, be proper to add, that the good people of Plymouth declare they are quite cer tain the Packets will be taansferred to that Port ; mid that so detertnioed are Ministers to accomplish the mea sure. tint the remonstrances of the County of Cornwall. supported by the recorded °Oolong of some of the ant naval ebaramersof the country, the evidence of Indis putable facts, and the utmost exertions of all the mem bers of both houses, connected with the county, will weigh but as a feather in the balance! We s►all see. (IRON TUB BRISTOL MIRCVIT.) The Lords of the Admiralty, it is now well under stood, have determined upon taking the Packet Service into their owe hands; and it is the general °piens, that their fint measure will be the removal of the Fo• reign Packets from Falmouth to Plymouth ; and their next, the transfer of tke Irish Packets from Milford to Bristol. The only obstacle to the latter measure, was the doubt heretofore entertained as to the possibility of the Packets sailing from hence at all hours of the tide ; and we understand that this fact has been satisfactorily ascertained by soundings of Kingroad, made during the preseat week, by order of their Lordships. A spot has also been fixed upon for a slip at pm. We are glad to hear that a strong representation to 6 mint, of the injurious consequences which must inevitably arise, both to the landed and commercial its.' terest of the county of Monmouth, from the removal of the Irish Packet establishment from Milford, proposed by Lord Granville Somerset, and seconded by Mr. Moggridge, was unanimously adopted by a crowded bench of Magistrates, and the Chairman was requested to forward the same to the Earl of Liverpool. CAPE OF HOOD HOPE. --.......- Eared of a letter from the Cape of Good Hope, dated the sth of Ang. 1822 : • " How uncertain are all beau affairs 1 How inscru table the decrees of Heaven! The Cape, the happy Cape, which you remember so flourishing, has been assailed h hurricanes, storms, and rains. Table Bay covered with wrecks—the country desolated by unevadag torrents of rain—vineyards and lauds overspread by water anti choked by sands : her farm-houses fallow and carried away by rivers, and her boors booseless sad distressed. These tbiegs have happened on the Cape side of the Mountains; on the other side, and in Albany, where the English settlers are located, a drought of four months has closed up the land from vegetation, and from re ceiving the seed corn. On the 23.1 July, it still conti nued near Graham Town, with unusual frost, destroy iag the vegetables. Governmeot diatribes, rite gratis, hat as for floor or bread, the thing is hardly known.

Bread is now in Cape Town six shillings an English quarter° loaf ; whilst in England you complain of want of sale for your corn—send some here. At foot are Gazette accounts of the sea hurricanes in July, and the land deluge, Dreadful as this visitation it., it is not overstated in the Government Courant, for dis tress is universal, and felt by all ranks. It is rumoured that Capt. Cloete, a confidential friend of our Governor, and a Staff Officer, will be sent home to communicate oar miseries to the Br' • h Government, and to implore aid and assistance from the mother country." Captain Cloete arrived at Lord Bathurst's yesterday morning. FORTUNATE &CAM—About 10 months since,* I called the Ellen, Magratb, Master, sailed from Youghal, bcond to Poole, but not baying been heard of fur a considerable time since, it was rightly . conjectured that she was lost. A letter has been received in Yooglial, within these few days, from one of the crew, et South ampton, stating, that the vessel fosodereila Scilly, and that the Master and crew gut into the long boat, and were after some time taken up by a Dutch East Indis man, on her voyage to Batavia, and taken to that settle ment, where they were treated in the most handsome manner by the Authorities in that island, and a peeing. procured Tor them is the first ship homeward bound.— The man states, that the Master and the remainder of the crew, might be daily expected. TITHES ASSESSED TO THE POOR RATES. (FROM Mt lIIRISTOL MERCURY ) The Quarter Simians for the comity of Monmouth. which heron on Monday the Itth, lasted until the after noon of Tuesday. notwithstanding the gratifying cir cumstanCe of there being no priaoaersin the calendar for trial. At there Sessions the hearing of the Appeal of the Rev. Watson More, Vicar of Trevitber (Pontl-pool) against the recent alteration in the poor -rate, by which he was charged to the full amount of his receipts for vi carial tithes, caini/ on to be heard, and excited great in ter* in the Court. It appeared that the ,in I couseqnence of the direction of a parish meeting, b ad, in supposed conformity to the celebrated Norfolk cases, assessed the Vicar to the full amount of his profits; but they bad not taken into consideration the comparative inapplicability of the principle to the case of the parish of Trerither, in which the material proportions of the property assessed consist of houses and works. It ap peared that the rate bad been altered only in the item of charge on the Vicar; those on houses and works (by which it was not alleged no profits were made) rennin ing at considerably below their valne, joilging by the admitted scale of profits. After a very long and patient bearing on the part of the Court, on the suggestion of oneof the Magistrate'', it was agreed, that the rate should be amended, anal, after considerable discussion on the Bench. it was finally determined that the charge on the vicarial tithes should be raised from W. to 1001, and all the otherheins of charge remain the same. Greet in terest had bees excited by the expectation of a discus sion and decision upon the principle of the Norfolk cases, but the Counsel employed by the parish did not argue their case on the ground taken in those cases—namely, the legality of aisessing only on profitable occupa tions, and on the assumption that tithes (the ezpences of collection only being deducted) are all profit. On the second day of the Sessions, came to be tried a ease of assault, in which Sarah, the wife of William Parry, late a workman at the Varteg Iron-works, was proeecotrir, and Thomas James Gritton, indicted by the name of Thomas Oritton, a clerk in the said works, was defendant. In the course of the evidence adduced, it ap peared tbat the wages of the prosecutrix's husband bad been paid in ahop-gootis, and that notes had been given her for the remainder, payment of which in money bad been relined ; that, upon each refine!, application bad been made to a Magistrate for redress, and the proseco trix went back to tiritton, who had previously endorsed the notes or orders, requiring payment in money; but Oritton, instead of payment, abused and assaulted the prosecatrix ; evidence was lorsught to rebut this charge, but on an Appeal to J. H. Moggridge, Esq. (before whom the complaints were both mule) on the part of prosecutris, and the Chairman, Mr. Serjeant Bosanquet, expressing his opinion that Mr. hloggridge's evidence as to the point of appeal was admissible, it clearly ap peared from his testimony that, when the prosecutrix came before bins to complain of the assault, there were marks of considerable and recent violence on the neck and arm of the prosecntrix, corresponding exactly with the account given by the prosecute': herself in Court; upon which the jury found the defeedant guilty. When the verdict bad been pronounced, Mr. Moggridge rose, and said that, after what bad passed, he considered it but justice to the rent respectable individuals who were the principals in the Varteg works, and who did not re side on the spot, to state publicly that, upon a repre sentation made by him to one of them, of this and other instances of payment of wart otherwise than in money, be bad caressed his determination that, in future, the workpeeei shoisist be peid_weeitly, and In money only; this cosowititieetion was received with evident satisfac tion by trot whole Coast. COAL TRADE. _....- Siam our Ust i , the proprietors of the coiled,. below bridge have replied to the statement of the keelmen, by a declaration, stating, that no consideration shall induce them to abandon the use of the spouts, but that they entertained any idea of making any redaction in the wage', and hai no objection to establish a regular time of hiring previous to the expiration of the former contract. The declaration has been replied to at some length, by the keelmen ; hut it has apparently been cond. dered satisfactory by many of their body, as they have shewn a disposition to return to their work, mod on Wednesday morning some of those above bridge actual ly proceeded, with their keels laden with coals, to Shields. As they were passing, however, the narrow part of the river, about the Felling shore, they were as sailed by some of the more refractory part of their body with showers of stones, by which a keelman, on board a keel btlonging to the Team colliery, was most seriously injured, and has been brought to the In firmary. Some others were also much hurt. A re ward of 100 gs. has been offered for the discovery of the person who threw the stone that strock the above keel man, and of five guineas for any others concerned in the riot. On the return of the keels in the evening, they were boarded by parties of krelmen, at Dent's Hole, and successively brought to an anchor, and their crews turned a-sbore to find their way home over land, in spite of . the efforts of a party of the river police and others, who were very ly handled. Both soles of the river were at that time lined with mi litary, but owing to all the magistrates being engaged at the Sessions, they could not act. On Thursday, the ' keelmen below bridge also went to work, and a Magis trate, attended by parties of military, both on shore and on board a steam boat, proceeded down the river, and set the detained keels at liberty.—The Northumberland and Newcastle, and itavensworth Yeomanry Cavalry, which went on duty in this town and Gateshead,on Mon day ae'neight, and whose term expired on Monday last, have received directions to cantinae on duty at the dis cretion of the Magistrates. They have since, along with the 3d Dragoon Guards, been actively employed in such duty sr, ening to the conduct of the borrasca, has been required of them. On Tuesday night, to guard against an expected attempt at riot, all the eats-same of the town were patrolled by parties of cavalry, but hap pily the uight passed over quietly.—(Newcastle Chum.) The Average amdunt of all Promissory Notes and Bills of the Governor and Company of the Bank of Ire land, which have been in circulation daring the Quarter ending the 10th day of October, Ins, appears from an account is the Dublin Gazette, to be 4,910,819/. 141. 4d. CAUTION TO KIMPIOU OF Asses, SWINE. &c.—By the General Turnpike Act, 3d Geo.

No wind mill can be erected within 200 yards of any turnpike road, under a penalty of 51. per day, so long as the same is continued.

At the Lewes Corn-market, on Tuesday last, the prices were -white wheat, 325. to 445.; ditto, tea ,424. to 445.; mixed, 40s. to 42.. ,red. 365. to 401. ; new dillo 315.; barley, 32e. ; oats, Ids. to 21s. ; and peas; 275. to 295. 6d• pet quarter. Arundel beast market, on Tuesday, was abundantly supplied with fat beef, the sale of which was rather doll ; bdt in mutton, the supply not being- law, It met a ready sale. The prices were as follow .--lieef, 2s. Bd. to 3s. whether mutton, 2s. 1041. to 3s. ewe mut ton, 2s. 6d. to 2s. 10d. per stone. There was a rood supply of lean stock.

Chichester beast-warket of Wednesday, was not over filled, but it may be justly rema►ked that the supply equalled the demand. Omni mutton was bought at 2s. 6.1. the stone; beef was something l igber.

One merchant, on Wednesday, purchased ten los Is of wheat for 601. At Chichester Iffichaelrnu fair, the Weather was nes vourable for the transaction of business, and hat little was done. Good Cart Colts, fit for work, brought from 221. to 271. Hops, from 6d. to 10.1. per pound. The fair at T. 4. 4 ..5t0ck on the 9th instant, was very dull ; but few head of cattle were sold, and at very low prices. The number of rattle offered for sale at Mitchell fair, on Tuesday, was less than for I years past...there not being within 1000 head of the usual supply ; hut the demand was equally low, and the prices obtained were ruinous to the farmers.—The demand for sheep was fur more brislc,aed sale were generally effected at fair prices, as times go. At the Dalkeith fair, on Tuesday, we understand there was a large show of black cattle and sheep, which ston •l long, and those sold brought no advance shove the tow prices which have been current at the late fairs. There were also a number of horses in the fair, hut few good ones, and they were equally dull of sale with the cattle. Annan hiring•day for the ensuing half-year was het I as usual, on Thursday last. The day was extremely fine, and the greatest concourse of people attended that bas perhaps been witnessed in that town. Hiring was doll—men servants from St t 051.; boys from 20s. to 285.; women from 30s. to 455.; girls from 20s. to 25$ ; and a great number went away unbired.—Notwithstand• ing the immense multitude collected together, business of all kinds seemed fiat, owing to the distresses of the farmer, who were hiring servants through necessity, but bow to get the rents and their wages paid remains as yet in ohscurity.—There were 18 cart-loads of apples in the market, which were sold at as low prices as to for mer weeks.

It has al ready been d, that be did half Isis distance in good form, and started again, after sufficient rest, with four hours to spare. On the third day be took a training of 25 miles to breakfast, in imitation of the work of the cele brated Captain Barclay, cut out for Cribb, previous to hie renowned battle with Holmes, at Thiasleton (lap. He ate his fowl comfortably, stretched, and made a start of 35 nines to dinner, off • rump of beef, at six o'clock in the evening. Refreshed as much as be wish ed, be took a walk I 5 miles farther, to a favourite quar ter where he had been before, and retired to rest tolera bly well. He started again at three o'clock on Saturday morning, and did his fourth day'. work, 55 miles, bat not without great perseverance, before eleven o'clock at night. The fight this day between Abbot and Ward, has ex cited more than ordinary lot . Ward was the favou rite, at 5 to 4, with plenty of backers. On Wednesday morning, between one and two o'clock, the mail coeds, on it. way from Lieus to Nottingham, was overturned at Drop&ld, owing to the extreme dark nose of the eight; it foil upon the off side, and the coact was completely shattered. One of the passen gers was eonsideratify hart, and the guard, tieorgo Blame, did not escape without-braises, but seeing there was no probability of getting forward by the coach, he mounted one of the horses and rode to Chesterlid where he procured a chaise and four, and arrived at Nottingham at half-past six instead of balf-past live.— The coach came forward with the passengers between ten and eleven. bearing evident ruarksof the accident which bad happened. An accidentoccurred in Wakefield, on Monday night, which was likely to bare been attended with melancholy effects. The London Mail coming into that town np Kirkgate, was overturned near Pok•street, by coming upon a heap of rubbish left there by some work•nen, who bad been digging a cellar. The coach was full in side and out, but fortunately only two gentlemen were hart—one slightly, the other had his head and fare terribly cut by the glass of one of the windowe, which was btoken in the fall. Not the least b:aum attaches to either coachman or guard, as the accident era; entirely owing to the darkness of the night, anti the impru Jenne of those who bad encumbered the read.—We have since beard that it is intended to proceed against the praprie tor of the premiere, out of which the rubbish had been taken, for his negligence in not removing it. Monday evening, as the London and Bath Mail um passing by WaleotCboreb. avid I children being at play'in the road at the time, a boy about three years old, was kno..:kril down, and the forewheel passing over the lower part of his body, canoed his death in about ten minutes; three medical gentlemen rendered the most prompt assistance. No blame!s attributable to the coach , man, who netd every endeavour to pull up, but in vain. !ri 1 ~l r
