MEETING OF SHIPWRIGHTS. The working shipwrights who have struck for wages in the several flock-yards on the river Thames. held a met tin 4 last week wit:t a view of adopting such resolutions as might facilitate an amicab'e arrangement with the masters, and from the tone of the discussion which took place, we should think it would not he difficult to settle the diKrences that at present exist. The suspension of labour in the-dock• yards is calculated, if continued much longer, to do a serious injury to ship-building in this country, and even in a great measure to banish it from the island. In Mr. Cock's " Case of the London Dock Company," it is stated that in the short time which has elapsed since the passing of Stat. 4, George IV, c. 77 (the 18th of July 1823), by which Act foreign ships nese allowed to import and export to and from the countries to which they belong, on the came terms as British ships, " a vast in crease has already taken place in the number and ton nage of foreign vessels arrived from the North of Eu rope, and a very general opinion still prevails among ship-owners, that unless the registry laws ba repealed, to admit of their building their vessels abroad, or that great reductions takes place in the price of materials for building and victualling, accompanied with a re duction of wages in this country, British shipping will, 'in a very few years, be wholly superseded in every trade in which a foreign vessel can be employed." An account is subjoined, the result of which is, that in the trade with Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Prussia, anti Ger many, comparing 1824 with 1822, there was an increase of 688 foreign ships, comprising 123,323 tons awl 5,117 mu, and a decrease of SS British ships, comprising 12,201 tons and 313 men. In the trade with Russia and Belgium, increase of 321. foreign Airs, 30,361 tons, 1,279 men ; de crease of 161 British ships, 16,060 tons, and 877 men. In both trades together, an increase of 1.012 foreign ships, 153,584 tons, 6,396 men ; and a decrease of '219 British ships, 28,261 tons, and 1,390 men. These circumstances certainly deserve the serious consi deration of the English working shipwrights, especially as there is a clause in the New Ship Registry Act, which em powers his Majesty, by Order in Council, to allow persons who may not get their ships repaired in the river Thames, to proceed for that purpose to foreign ports. We are sure that the Ministers would very reluctantly advise his Ma jesty to resort to such a measure ; but the interests of com merce will demand it, unless the diff•renees between the shipwrights anti their masters are speedily adjusted. Both are interested in preventing Government front being driven to such an alternative ; and we trust they will take the subject into emir most serious considerztion. In the sitting of the Swiss Diet on the .sth inst. the cre dentials pres,•nted by the Duke of Calvello were read, in which he is authorised, as Minister Plonipotentiory, to negociate, in the name of the King of Naples, a military capitulation with the SWiss Cantons. The Enterprise East India steam-vessel has been re cently trying her rate of passage up and down the river Thames, laden with her immense freight of coal ; and it seems that she can make about ten miles per hour, though she now draws about fifteen feet. It is, however, ru moured that some private gentlemen have engaged Lord Yarborough's ship-built strainer, and intend to try their chance against the Enterprise, and vain the 10,0001. by arriving Crst at Bengal. Lord Yarborough's vessel is sold to go to Batavia, so that they may as well make so laudable an effort.

For some days past, a considerable alarm has been ex cited amongst the inliabitais:s of Kingstown (Dunleary) owing to a rumour that fever was making dreadful ravages on board the transport hulk. We are happy in being en abled to state, front good authority, that there is but one case of fever, and that not distinguished by any symptoms of a peculiar nature, in the hulk. The Henry Parker, a fine vessel, is arrived in Kingstown Harbour, in order to take on board from the hulk one hundred and ninety-five convicts for Botany Bay. The mast absurd reports were in circulation on Friday, • in Dublin, on this subject. it was said, at one time, that a foreign vessel, with the plague on board, had come N into the Royal Harbour at Dunleary ; at another that " a black fever" raged in the oonvlet ship, and that so dan. germ's and extensive was the contagion, that the hulk must he destroyed to insure the public safety. It is unnecessary to say, 'net what we have stated above, that these reports (and many others Eke therh, which flew about in all di rections) were equally false and absurd.—Dublin Freeman's Jimmie".

FAtit. T4TRIOTI.S.3I OF TJII•: CITY OF LIMA, [ From an American Paper.) A gentleman who has spent the list two or three years i„ tem., and veitnes.seel the varieus changes which within that time have taken place in that capital, has furnished us , with some interesting facts from his own observations, cal ou'atesl to she. re at once the severe trials to which the in h,taients have hien subjected, and the spirit which they pets-steed through them all. 'etter the battle of Junin, in which the Spaniards suf fered the loss ef their cavalry, the most efficient portion of their army in P. ru, tiny retired to the forme es of Callao, seder General Health and 'lid not pretend to keep any re gular post in Lima. The Patriots in the mean time were ev erting themselves to assemble a heavy force about Men em), and as their course was on the advance., reports were co nstantly in circulstiou, that they inn :tiled speedily to ta ke possession of the capital. Their appeeraece was how ace delayed, and they contented themselves with keeping the rumours alive from S. ptenther till December, that the Spaniards might he prevented from undertaking any plans of their own.—During this time the city of Lima was left absolutely without any government whatever, and the s tate of things was agitating and distressing to the ex treme. Lying between the two hostile armies, yet at t oo great a distance to he commanded by either, it was frequently occupied for a little time by small parties from teeth, which made it repeatedly the scene of contest and of bloodshed. It was for a length of time a matter of fre quent occurrence. to seet a body of Spanish or Patriot troops enter the city in the morning, and after enjoying undistokted authority for a few hours, to be suddenly at t :eked 'fiy a larger number of their enemies, and driven pscipitately again into the country, perhaps to seek a re niforeerne nt and return to renew the contest. For the citizens. who took no share in these frequent and often blobely skirmishes, this situation of atrium. so long continued, was productive of a thousand trials. Many of them fled from the city to seek security in more sechidea situations; but thousands, in a capital of that size, knew not whither to go, or were totally unable to remove their families r themselves. Their only alternative therefore was, to shut themselves up in their houses ; for the inse curity of walking in the streets was so great, that it re quired no little resolution to appear even in the day-time, sad after dusk there was no such thing as going out. Even these who were obliged to leave the houses at mid-day al ways armed themselves with sword% and pistols, and be fore they dare venture into the street, opened their gates with caution, mad suspiciously reconnoitered the way in every direction. When two persons met, who were not yersonally known to each other, they eyed each other with distrust, and with one consent came no nearer than they were compelled to elo by the narrowness of the street. Lite seemed the great object of every one's attention ; and the risks to which they felt themselves exposed made them feel content with ails alone. If a stranger had entered Lima at this time be would hare imagined the city desolate. The streets were :till to a melancholy degree, and be might have supposed it deco lated by famine or the plague. Many of the inhabitants themselves undoubtedly entertained a very imperfect idea of the number of people venial log with them in the city : great numbers were known to hare gone, and the few who made their appearance during these three months induced at least some to suppose the city almost deserted. A few persons were new and then to be seen here and there, appearing at a window or balcony ; but hundreds and thousands of families. were closely confined in their houses, with doors barricaded and arms prepared for a defence *gales: the attacks of those lawless bands of soldiers who frequently infested the city, and more than one assassina tion was usually perpetrated every night. Petty skir mishes bowmen platoons of soldiers often rendered it doubly haunkus to leave the houses, and the disturbances they created with their cries, and the frequent reports of their fire-arms, tended to keep the city in a constant state of anxiety and alarm. The .oreign merchants, whose dwell ings and stores naturally offered the greatest temptations to the lawless, were particularly watched and guarded ; and by them, as ardently as by any, the re-establishment of hive and security was looked for with impatience. In December, when the approach of a strong patriot force bid Leen more confidently repeated, and was anxi ously awaited from hour to hour, a beefy of their troops made their appearance, reached the city. and entered the gate. The news spread like wildfire—The patriots have come, ran from mouth to mouth, with three thousand men —this is their vanguard, and the Spaniards have lost Lima for ever ! A small body of Spanish soldiers, who had been in the city for several days, bad hastened their retreat amen as they ascertained the approach of their enemies, so that the patriots found the gates joyfully thrown open, no one left to oppose their entrance, and the inhabitants pouring cut of their dwellings by thousands to welcome t'ieir arrival. At any previous time it would have been difficult to a stranger to satisfy himself as to the actual state of public fee'ing in the city of Lima, for while each party wow by turns predominant, and the issue of the war remained doubtful, no one dared to express his real senti ments ; hut now, when it was believed that the Spa niards were never to return, all classes of people gave loose to their feelings, and with the full persuasion that law and public security had returned, they unbarred their doors, and poured out in crowds into the streets, many of them for the first time in several months, and, pressing on to the gri at square, welcomed their deliverers with acclai mer Ciu. flte immersion of this scene was singular and affecting. Wart, ard even famine was depicted in the faces of many: and ib :se who bad been so fortunate as to possess the ne cessaly sup plies in their houses, had suffered so much from etinfire.nent at home and a constant state of apprehension, that their looks were cadsveroua 'and their frames ema ciated. The meeting of friends who had long been sepa rated, the joyful or distressing news they often had to communicate, the exclamations of some and the swooning of others, thiough debility or excitement, the enthusiastic shouts which rung through the city, and from time to time absorbed the whole attention, all concurred to affect the mind in an extraordinary degree. Only six hundred soldiers hail entered the city ; but this was explained-by a report that fifteen hundred had been despatched to cut off the retreat of the Spaniards. The crowd was immense; aod the city, which half an hour before had appeared de soled by men, was thronged with people, apparen . ..i mere titan the houses could hold. The soldiers were almost borne from their horses by their embraces, and it was with difficulty they could proceed. They did not intend to re main within the walls; but urged on, perhaps by the con viction of their power, passed through the city, and took the road to Callao, in pursuit of their enemies. When the first excitement lied begun to subside, and the tiring of a few guns was heard, rumours were soon afloat that the Spanish troops were entirely cut off: Yet the portions did not return, and no messenger arrived to con erin the repot t. Numbers of people proceeded cut of the city in the sane direction, an. met the most contradictory altementr. The road is lined with buildings and lofty garden walls for a considerable distance, so that it was im passible to see far on any side. A man was found lying , speechless by the path—was he faint or dead ? A little be yond was another with blood flowing fresh and freely from his clothes—but he was a peasant; and near him lay another, a decrepit old man, dead, with his donkey stretch ed upon the ground under the weight of a burden. This was a chance shot—but the patriot uniforms were soon after seen in the dust ; and the road was soon lined with the torpors of those who had so recently met such an en thnsiovic welcome. They had been lid on too securely, and etc they were aware, surrounded by the Spanairds and cut to pieces. TLe event, however, produced no im portant consequence: Lima has never since been entered by an enemy, and the inhabitants are happily enjoying the liberty and 'tile regular government of which they were so long deprived. At th , IVexford Maim, on IVedneaday last, an action of sure importance was tried, in which John Nixon Nunn, E.l. was plaintiff, and Francis Wysc, Esq. defendant. It was an action brought by the plaintiff against the de fendant for writing and publishing a false and malicious libel. reflecting on the plaintiff 'a character as a magistrate of the county of Wexford, which libel was contained in two letters, one (a private one), written to Jelin Ilric, Esq.

(Signed) "CATHERINE. "St. Petenburglt, Jan. 23, 181111." GENERAL 411`INTOSH, THE CREEK CHIEF. A memoir of General M'lntosh, the Creek Chief, lately mur dered, has been published in some of the Georgia papers. Ili, rather, of Scotch descent, for reasons unknown. left the State of Georgia, and took up his residence among the Creek Indians. Ile there formed a connexion with an Indian woman, the mother of the i late Chieftain, who was of Cherokee descent on lice mother's side. and a woman remarkable for her beauty, for sagacity, and for her friendship to white men. The son had an entirely Indian educa tion—it is not known that he was ever sent among the white people to learn the arts of civilization ; and it is stated that his acquanuance with the art of writing was barely sufficient to enable him with a pen to write his name so that it might be known. The Creek Indians were in a state of peace from the close of the Revolutionary war till the year 11113. Mr. Mtlntesh, therefore, had no opportunity of signalizing himself as a warrior. In the commotion.' which divided his ration at the commencement of the late war. he took the side of our Government, and afforded ma terial aid to our army in bringing the war in that quarter to a speedy termination. For his services in that campaign, he re ceived the pay and emoluments of a Major of Inf.ntry, and the warrior. who served tinder him the pay of the soldier. of the United States army. At the close of the war he was rased by his nation to the rank of Principal War Chief, and obtained a seat in Council for the Civil Government. In this latter capacity he la boured to Improve the condition of his countrymen, and to intro. duce among them the arts of civilization. When the Seminole war broke cut, he was again called into service under the Government of the United States, and was promoted to the rank of Brigadier- General. Ile joined the army under General Jackson, and with Iris men rendered important services in that campaign. On the testm ration of peace, he exerted t imself to have the subjugated Indians settled in the Creek territory and restored to their former rights and privilege!, and to introduce among his own people the arts which had be.ome necessary, from the narrowed limits of their ter ritory, for affording the means of subsistence. As a means for in. diming his countrymen to embrace a life of agriculture, and to cut off the hope of subsistence without a change of habits, it is stated that a treaty was held through his agency at the Indian Springs, in 11i20, when the lands lying between the Ocinulgee and Flint rivers were celled to the United States for the use of Georgia. The hope that the Indians, thus limited to their territory, aided by the efforts of the United States' agent, by the establishment of schools, and the education of many of their children, would be induced to resort toe life of husbandry, was disappointed. The MITI paid in an nual instalments as the price of the ceded territory, instead of being appropriated to those useful purposes which their condition required, were principally squandered in procuring intoxicating liquors, which the avarice of a get of sharpers on the frontiers was always ready to supply them with. The disappointment of all hopes of making his countrymen a civilised people is stated to be the reason which induced Mtlntosh to use his efforts to persuade them to accept the proposition to remove to a territory which was offered them beyond the Mississippi- After zealously com batting the prejudices and arguments of his countrymen against the removal, and after securing, he thought, a filial acquiescence in the measure, with the co-operation of many of the other chiefs, he concluded a treaty with the United Sates Commissioners for the exchange of territory. From an apprehension that he might not be favourably received after this measure, he remained some time on the treaty ground. At length, being invited to re turn, and the treaty aupearing to be acquiesced in, he went home to his own people. and began his preparations for going to explore the country which was to become their new habitation. On the morning appointed for the commencement of his journey, his house was surrounded by a great number of warriors: and after his family had been permitted to escaye, he was shot through by upwards of fifty balls. w.. A. HAYTIEN COMPA AJr FOR MIA7VG 1 - f - I -.., • An Association has been formed for working the gold and silver wiines of S:. Domingo, called the Haytivn Com pany, co:rprehending the Marquis of Dewnsitirv, Mr. Brougham, Sir T. D. Adana, and many diatinguish , :tl characters. The mines are to situated as to be reculiarly easy of ac cess.

From political motives, arising out of the South American policy of 0;11 Spain, the mines' acre suddenly closed by a decree of Goveniment, and the I further working of them prohibited • untltr severe penalties. !They arc deceribel by various authors as easy to be worked, !and abounding in rich and extensive veins of metal.

The whole of the mining district is `within from SO to 60 miles of good shipping ports, with carriage roads to the foot of the mountains.

Notwithstanding these securities and advantages, the Directors intend not to commence their mining operations until they shall have obtained a report of able and ex perienced persons, who are to be immediately despatched for the purpose of making a full and accurate survey of the mines, the roads, the coniiition of the country in which the mines are situate, oral the means of supply for the miners.

Opposition to the objects ther had in vlew would Lut accelerate them. as the winds which tilled the swelling canvass of a ship would increase the velocity of it. motion. or as increased water in a mill-race would accelerate the motion of the wheel. The Resolution wan then seconded, and was passed unanimously. The Rev. Mr. Irtwica moved the thanks of the Meeting to the Bsanch Society in Scotland. for having aided the funds of the lrisb Evantrelical Society. Mr. Irwick stated, that he went in company with Mr. Winning in Scotland. in order to solicit sub scriptions in aid of the Society, and that nothing could surpass the kiminass with which he had been received. Three general Auzilia Iv Societies were established in Scotland ; one in Gh w goy,. another in Edinburgh, and the third at Aberdeen. All the ladiesof respectability, who were friendly to the Gospel, in Edin burgh anti in Glasgow, interested themselves in behalf of the So ciety and from the zeal which he saw everywhere manifested for they Evangelization of Ireland, he had no doubt, but that the time of Ireland's salvation was near at hand. The appointment of a Com• minee and officers should not be considered as merely nominal. There was no law which would compel any member of the Com mittee to do his duty, but as they could not call on the Attorney. Gtme.tal to file an er officio against any individual on the Com mittee for neglect of duty, he trusted that they would all see the importance of the truht rep oled in them. Mr. Cooritn seconded the Resolution; and stated, that In next September, be expected that* Branch Society would be formed in Bristol, in aid of the Irish E'eangelical Society. The Resolution was then put and carried unanimously. The Rev. Mr. FAWCEYT tririved a Resolution of thanks to the individuals, and also to the Societies which had contributed aid to :he Irish Evangelical Society; the resolution also included thanks to the Cominittee fur the past year, and the appointment of a new one. The :ter. Mr. Stwri.ox seconded the resolution, which was car' ried unanimoualy. The Alerting then adjourned. A collection was made at the doors on the company coming away. The Rev. Mr. MWEILE and Mr. O'CONNELL. In the speech delivered by Mr. O'Connell at the first meeting of the New Catholic Assosiation, he is reported to have used the following words:— " What, he would ask, would be thought in Ireland, if a Clergyman, the son-in-law of an Archbishop, and who, when preaching a sermon for the London Hibernian Society, asserted from the pulpit that the Catholic Priests in Ireland, when any of their people die without having received the rites of their Church, disinter the bodies, and give them absolution ! (Hear, shame ; shame.) Yet there was a parson of the mime of M•Neile who said so; but it was not so much to be wondered at, when It was consi dered that he was Linen by the family of the Archbishop whose memory will be perpetuated by his evidence before the House ofd Lords. The son-in-law of Dr. Magee gravely assured his hearers ' of that fact, and when he (Mr. ('Connell) hail some communica tion with the Society on the subject. he was told Indeed, it was taksn from some Ecclesiastical Review, as if it !mittens to the Ca. atones where the falsehood had originated (hear, hear,) when it was promulgated." In consequence of this gross personal attack, the Rev. Mr. M . Neile has thought fit to send a statement for pub lication to the Dublin Freeman's .7ournal, from which we make the following decisive extract : " In the sermon to which Mr. O'Connell alludes, I mentioned several of the leading charatterists of the Church of Rome. One of these is, what I consider an abuse of the Scriptural doctrine of atm lotion ; and for the purpose of setting this part of the subject fairly before the congregation, I quoted from a Roman Catholie book, in which it is formally discussed. The book is entitled " Rituale Romanum, Pauli V. Pontificia Maximi jussu editum ; Lugduni 1817." And at the 89th page, under the head of " Rhos Absol. vende excommunication jam moruum," these words occur, " Si corpus nondum sepultum fuerit, verberetur et absolvatur, ut infra: deintle absolutuni in loco mem sepeliator. Si vero fuerit sepultum in loco pmfano, si commode Seri poterlt, exhu- mabitur et endem modo verherabitur, et post absolutionem in loco satin sepeliettir : sett si commode exhumari non potent, ' locus sepulture, verberetur, posies absolvantr." Hence it ap pear., that pmvisian is made in the Romish Church, not only for the disinterment of bodies that they may be beaten and afer terwartis absolved, but also, that in extreme cases, when disinter ment cannot safely be reported to, the burying place (Incur ;find hair) shall be beaten and afterwards absolution shall be pro. flounced. It was a literal translation of this whole passage, as cha racteristic of the Roman Catholic Church, which delivered from a pulpit in London, end if in an doing, I uttered a falsehood, it may perhaps, be uteful for Mr. O'Connell to learn, that it was a fable hood, not of my invention, neither extracted from an Ecclesiastical Review, but a falsehood published by order of Pope Paul the Fifth. _ _ _ " Mr. O'Connell says, that he cominunicated with the Socie!y upon the subject, and in the Mornin , Post of Monday last I per ceive he is reported to have said that he expostulated with me. Communication wish the Society he may have had, hut in reference to his alleged expostulation with me, it will probably surprise the pubic to hear that I have never, at any period, either seen or heard from Mr. O'Connell. " Mr. O'Connell further says. that falsehood from me is not so much to be wondered at, when it is considered that I am bitten by the family of the Archbishop, whose memory will be perpetuated by his evidence before the House of Lords. The forme• part of this sentence is too low to deserve any grave reply, and I cannot condescend to any rivalry in scurrility ; but the latter part of it contains a truth which Mr. O'Connell did not, I imagine, intend to promulgate. The Archbishop's evidence is, indeed, a valuable document, and I understand that the Roman Catholic Prelates in Ireland have borne testimony to their strong sense of the convinc ing information and arguments contained in it, by prohibiting its circulation amongst the members of their communion. and thereby honouring it with the same sentence of proscription which they had already pronounced against the unadulterated word of God." ACCIPENT is DUBLIN my. —in concequent2 of ill I being known that a nephew of Mr. Wright, of Westmor land-street, was one of the unfortunate boating party that sailed from Dunleary, about three weeks ago, and 9f which no intelligence has since been received, two boatmen called on Mr. Wright to inform him of their having picked up the body of a man whilst sailing in the bay. Mr. Wright immediately repaired to Bullock, where the body was landed, and, upon examining it, found the fat part of the face literally eaten away, and the countenance altogether so much disfigured that none of the features were distinguish. able. From other circumstances; however, Mr. Wright was satisfied that the body was not his nephew's. The clothes were perfect, and consisted of a blue coat, black cloth vest, and dark cloth trousers, sniped red and white silk neck-kerchief, and short grey stockings. Ahout the , person was discovered a memoranthim, with the following names:—" Sir W B— —, Mrs. Cope, Mrs. Casey, Miss Forth, Miles O'Reilly, Mrs. Bloxhain." There were se veral other names, which, from the action of marine acid upon the ink, were totally illegible. From those circum stances it is conjectured that he might have been a steward belonging to some packet, who had accidentally fallen overloard. - . .•• p".."

ALLER expressed himself satisfied, 31r. Co►e said, lie had been generally told in London that short wool, which was last year depreciated in value as compared with the longer sort, had this year become more valuable, owing to an improvement in the mode of combing, by which shorter wools were brought into use for thet purpose. He requested that Mr. Filson would inform the meeting if this was correct. 31r. Fisox said, he knew of no improvement in combing which had made line wool more valuable.

TREATMENT OF ENVENOMED 'FOUNDS. It is well known that the volatile alkalies are the moat efficacious remedies for the venemous bite of the viper and the stings of several insects which transfuse venom into the flesh of those whom they assail. But howev,r potent this specific may be, when administered in time, it has been frequently found to fail in its Effect, owing to some cause hitherto undiscovered. The following case, pub ! lished by the Agricultural Society of the department l'AriCge (France), and inserted in its Journal, clears up the mystery, and furnishes us with the information it was 'so important for us to have. A shepherd of the neighbourhood of Foix, bitten in the i leg by a viper, suffered the most acute pain, notwith standing that had sought relief from several popular re. medies—such as binding up the wounded part, enveloping I it in fresh earth, &c. called in sixteen hours after the bite was given. M. Quod, a medical practitioner at Foix, ordered volatile alkali, in a liquid form, to be frequently repeated, and the dose to be increased each time. Far from obtaining any success, however, he was beginning to despair of his patient, when it occurred to him to try this effect of dry friction upon the almost lifeless parts. The skilful practitioner was much surprised to find the rubbing excite the pungent odour of the alkalies. He con eluded that these liquors had not acted, because, in place of remaining in the interior of the body, they almost wholly escaped by the pores of the skin ; and he immediately caused some olive oil to be brought, with which he oiled I all the members of the pvtient. No sooner had this lini ment been applied, than the bid symptoms began eta dints ', pear, and the cure was so rapid that, two days after, the shepherd was able to return to his occupations. In Egypt Dr. Larrey had already employed oil in treat.. in 7 wounds from the bite of venomous animals of that part of Africa; not, however, through the medium of friction, but as a drink, and mixed with the volatile alkalies. 'This method almost always succeeded with him.—Frene4 Par' The Gazette of Saturday night announces that the Kt had appointed the Rev.
