This, it is conjectured, must refer to Buenos Ayres. The Society established in London, called the Colombian Agricultural Association, advertise in those papers that 3 000 shares were kept fot the purpose of distribution in Colombia, and invites the natives to make immediate ap plication for shares. A long correspondence between the Danish Governor of the Antilles and General Pape has taken place, respecting the capture of a Danish vessel by a privateer called the Adolpho, and the consequent insult offered to the Danish flag. The correspondence appears to have been conducted with great moderation and propriety: General Pate pro mises the most prompt redress, if the grievances complained of be substantiated. The following are extracts:— CARACCAS. Aro. 24. Our Government has received despatches front Lima. up to the Ist of May. The Liberator had set out for Upper Peru. The situation of the defenders of Callao was rendered every moment more and more critical ; so much Ito, indeed. that it is reported that Rodil says he will capitulate it favourable terms are panted. The only privateer possessed by the Spaniards in Chile has been captured and taken Into Guayaquil by a vessel which left this port with aid for the besiegers of Callao.—Gacete de Colombia. Ace. 17. PROVINCE OF PASTO. lly the last post from the South as have received positive Intel , ligence of the occurrences in thie quarter. After the reduction of that province there remained a few of the Metiout hid in desert places, where it was impossible to pursue tritem. As they had no means of subsistence but by robbery, they laid in wait for tra vellers, whom they assaulted and plundered ; and afterwards they surprised a small detachment posted In runes. A bout this time some officers, who were not wanted in Guayaquil. were proceeding to Bogota, and thefretlour gave out that they were fugitives bo ffin the Royal army in Peru. The Authorities of Popayan and Panto hastened to put a stop to such absurd reports. The city of Pastu not only has.not been implicated in this affair, but has even formed a betty of militia of 600 men, for the purpose of assisting the veteran garrison : the people of the valley of Patin remain per fectly tranquil. The Commandant-General of the Cauca, taking all these ctrtumatances into consideration, ordered the two compa nies of militia (whom be had called out for the defence of , Popayan) to retire to their homes, and the executive power has recalled its Decree declaring the province under :martial law, conceiving that there are sufficient forces and means in the province to accomplish the suppression of the batidini.—Courfitneioual of Bogota. A Leeward Island packet arrived yesterday, bringing advices from Barbadoes to the 223 of Auguat, and from St. Thomas's to the Pith of September, but they merely communicate commercial intelligence. Advices from Demerara, received at Liverpool. bring the same accounts as to the continuance of dry weather in that colony. Only a few occasional showers had fallen, but to so small an exteilt, that the crops were suffering much from the drought. It is said that the Brazilian frigate Piranga, now lying at Portsmouth, is the private property of Lord Cochrane, by whom it was originally purchased for 1.500 dollars, and fitted out by him at Rio to go to Chili to claim some pay due from tile Republic, but receiving an offer from Greece, he proceeded at once to England, levying on his way-con tributions at Maranham and Bahia in cotton, and giving bills upon the Brazilian Government, having been unable in any other way to obtain what was due to him. The Brussels Papers of Tuesday state that the King of the Netherlands has. among the nominations lately made in the order of the Belgic Lion, included M. Ternaux, the great French manufacturer, who was on a visit to the fine exhibition of Haarlem. This distinction is honourable as well to the giver as the•receiver ; and affords another proof of the liberal disposition of the King of the Netherlands, who, from the concurring testimony of all who have ob served him, both for activity, integrity of purpose, and an enlightened mind, yields to few Monarchs of this or any ether time. Frankfort Papers state that the Commissioners who are appointed to negotiate a Treaty of Commerce between Wirtembyg, Baden, and Switzerland, arrived at Zurich on the 26th tilt. The Lisbon Papers received by the mail yesterday, an nounce the arrest, conviction, and sentences of four rob bers, accused of sacrilege. The letters contain no public news. A letter from Genoa, dated 3d inst., states the capture of l vessel from Ancona, and the blockade of that port by a squadron from Tripoli. A letter received from Madrid yesterday, by an eminent mercantile house in the city, says—" You may rely the new tariff of duties will appear at the end of this year, and that British goods generally will be introduced into Spain atabout one-third of the present rates of duties." Letters were yesterday received by the Turkish mail from Smyrna to the 4th, and from Constantinople to the 10th ult. They assert in general terms the success of the Turkish troops in the Morca, but give no details or dates. The Oriental Spectator contains the following accoun of a conspiracy against the Turks, said to have been de tected at Canes, in the island of Candia " CAL:EA, JULY 24. " The Egyptians have taken the command of our place. A Greek, who has turned Turk, has conic here to give information of a conspiracy formed by the Greeks against the Turks, which was to bleak out in a village which he named. A priest (papas) was said to be at the head of this conspiracy, the ramifications of which are unknown. The armed forces proceeded to the spot, and succeeded in discovering between 299 and 259 muskets, which were concealed. This circumstance is aggravating, because protection was granted to the Greeks after the island was subjected, and every thing was replaced on its former footing: but, to prevent any fresh sedition, proclamation was made at Cane* and every where else, twice a week for some time, that every Greek who had arms in his posseuion should deliver them up to the local Autho. cities, on pain of death. Twenty.iive persons have been arrested in' he village, on the information of the above Greek. lie was himself implicated in this conspiracy, and discovered it on em. bracing the Mussulman faith. These 25 Greeks are in prison, but no sentence has yet been passed on them." Extract of a letter from Madeira, dated September 17 : " Our vintage is gathering in. In the south part of the island, where the finer wines are produced, there is a great diminution in quantity, owing to a large proportion of the grape having rotted, in consequence of the unusual rains we have had throughout the summer ; and the qua lity of what has been spared is very bad, at least it must be supposed so, as the fruit has not been sufficiently sea soned for want of heat; much of this wine sill be made into brandy I apprehend. In some parishes on the north ride the rot has been nearly as bad, though there arc two parishes, Porto de Cruz and Fayal, where the grapes look very well, and the wine will turn out well. Prices have risen three to four pound per pipe as it is, hut I expect, when the wine becomes ready to be examined, in Decem ber next, that what inay prove good will rise much more." The following is an extract' of a letter from Dominica, dated the 29th August :—" This island experienced one of those awful visitations, a hurricane, on the 2Gth ult. Nine vessels, apparently quiet at anchor, were in a few moments driven on shore, and (except two) irrecoverably wrecked. The buildings immediately in this neighbour hood (seat of GoverninenOsuffered but little—at Prince Rupert's very much, and the proprietors of some estates in that neighbourhood are almost ruined : only one life lost. At Guadaloope the damage was still more severe, and up wards of 500 persons perished." A letter, dated l'ort-au-Prince, August 20, after an nouncing the restoration of tranquillity, and the return of President Boyer, adds, that General Nord, who comman d e d at the Cape, has been arrested, and will be tried, as well as General Profete. General Toussaint, hrother in-law of the late King Christophe, who was likewise im plicated in the conspiracy, clew out his brains. Gene ral Magny, who had the command of the arrondissement of the Cape, displayed most honourably his fidelity and devotedness to the Republic. This last manilestation of discontent on the part of a few of Christophe's old officers has only served to prove the sentiments of attachment and confidence which' the Hay tiaras cherish towards their esti mable President. The large purchase of land made by Mr. Baring in Mexico is on the narth-east coast, towards the boundary of the United States. The purchase money is 930,000 dollars. The extent is in sqtrie letters stated at 300 square leagues. It is stated that there are fzoo,ooo head of sheep on the land. • T if REVENUE.

Let us now see how this has operated. The produce of these two branches of the revenue in the year ending October,lB2o, was ,£14,803/. The produce of the year ending October, ma, notwithstanding the loss of the above-mentioned 6,760,000/., is n0t98,474,605t., as might have been expected, but 35,926,8661. ; so that the foreign trade and home consumption of the country must have advanced no less than five-and-twenty per cent. within the last five years ; or, in other words, for every four millions we then consumed or exported, we now re quire five. The Stamp Duties produced in 1520 the sum of 8,11.5,452/. The reduction of Law Stamps, made last year, would diminish the amount by 200,000!. But the produce of the last year gives an advance of above one million in this branch alone. The Post-office has advanced in a . nearly equal dap ee : la 101 l it yielded - - £1,331,000 1822 - - 1,343.000 1023 - - - 1,330,000 1924 . . 1,439,000 1323 . - . 1,601.000 Such are some of the results of the system which his Majesty's Ministers are pursuing, and which have justly obtained for them the entire confidence of the country. Letters from Paris repeat the report of the Spanish Government having offered to recognise the revolted colo nies for a sum of forty millions sterling. This proposal had, it is said, been communicated (not officially) to the Government of Colombia, and despatches were sent off immediately to Bolivar, by whom, doubtless, the proposal would be treated with contempt, even if the amount named were only a dollar. A letter from New York, of the 7th of September, received at Havre, mentions the arrival of a Mexican gentleman, who was authorised to enter into a contract to complete the expedition equipped in Ibis country. which lately sailed under the orders of Captain Smith, R.N. The following is an extract from a letter dated Caracesa, Aug. st 7 :—" We are very busy here with the election of Pre sident and Vice President. The electors chosen by the people to name are principally the Bolivar party. There is 110 doubt that liolivar and Santander will be re-elected. Capt. J. D. Cochrane, who was superintending the copper mine at Avoa, died the 14th instant, at Valencia, a victim to intemperance." The Canadian Spectator of the loth of September, quotes the following paragraph from the Canadian Covrost, on the probable exportation of ashes from Canada during the present veer : " There will, in all probutility, be at least 60,000 barrels of ashes exported fmniCanada this year, upwards of 40,000 of which arrive from the United States. IVe hare made particular inquiry relative to the probable average amount which each barrel of tubes leaves in this country during its progress, and find that It is no les.. than 161. 3d., producing en amount of visit circulated in Ca nada on this year's importation of nearly 40,0001. upon this on article!

The Brandywine, which brought General La Fayette to Havre, will, it is understood, proceed to join that squadron. We have received Quebec and Montreal papers to the llth ult. A dreadful fire took place at Montreal on the 01 September, by which So houses were burnt down, and i no less than 338 families deprived of their dwellings ; the fire originated in the workshop of a cooper, from a trifling beginning —an old man proceeding to an out-house with a cigar, was the cause of this calamity. At the time it broke out, it is stated, a few buckets of water, propelly applied, would have prevented the conflagration. The fire took place In the suburbs of Montreal, among the small houses, and extended over a space of three acres of ground; hap pily no lives were lost. We perceive by the New York papers, that intelligence from Liverpool to the 16th of August had reached New York, by the Florida, conveying an account of the exten sive failures in this port, iu consequence of the great fall which had taken place in the article of cotton. The intel ligence produced the greatest consternation in New York, and caused several failures in that city.—Liverpoo/ Courier. A remarkably large four masted ship passed by the town early yesterday morning. Sh e i s su pp ose d to h e t h e Renfrew, the large timber ship from Canada.—Brivittott Gazette. We are sorry to state that the ship Nicolas, of Mary port, coal laden, was totally wrecked while on her pss sage to Dumfries during the severe gale of Saturday last. Having been struck with a heavy sea, the mast went over board, and beat with such force against the stern, that it soon went in, and the vessel foundered in ten fathornb wa ter. Another vessel happening to be in company, the crew was picked up, and landed ct the Cars on Sunday morning.—Durn fries ('eurier. MILDNEPS ot THE SEASON.—At this time there is in the garden of a gentleman residing near Ilford an apple tree with a great number of blossoms, and a bed of straw berries in full bloom. The latter is also the case in the garden of Mr. Alderman Atkins. BETIILEM 110SVITAL.—A commodious chapel is about to be opened in this hospital. It has been found, after some years of strict probation, that in every large commu nity of lunatics a considerable number will always be found susceptible of religious consolation, as well as competent to discharge the duties of social worship. Accioss.T BV Flnt..—On Saturday evening last, Ann Smith, cook to Mr. Darling, of the Old Boar's Head, Hyde's Cross, put a quantity of turpentine and bees'-wax in a pot in the oven, for the purpose of preparing them for cleaning furniture. In a short time afterwards she took the pot out, anti just at that moment the boots, David Baldwin, coining by with a candle; she desired him to look, whilst she held the mixture in her hand, whether the wax was tliss-Aved. The moment the candle was brought near the pot, the vapour rising from it caught fire, and the mix ture burst into flame like an explosion of gunpowder. fore she hail time to throw down the pot, her clothes were enveloped in flames. The boots immediately endeavoured to tear her clothes off; but, in the attempt, his hands were so severely burned that he was completely incapacitated from giving further assistance. The hostler then attempted to throw the poor girl on the floor, but she resisted his en deavours, and ran out of the kitchen into the front lobby. Mr. Darling was standing at the front door at the time, and he tried to extinguish the flames, but his own clothes caught . fire, and lie was considerably scorched. A young man, in the employ of Messrs. Jackson, gusliforth, and Scott, who was passing at the moment, fortunately had on a rough great coat, which, with great presence a mind, he pulled tiff, anti wrapped round the girl, and immediate:sr extinguished the flames, but not before she had I . .•en so se verely burned as to render her recovery very doubtful.— illonehester Advrrliser.

As ia often the case v‘itli copies, it possesses some of the beauties and all the faults of the original. Generally speaking, however, it has neither the one nor the other in the same degree. The fault. not unfrequently are magnified tenfold, and the beauties dwelt upon and heightened into faults ; it is a weak water-colour sketch after an original oil-painting. Occasionally there may occur a happy touch—a brilliant tint—b ut t h e general effect is poor, patchy; the force. depth, and harmonv of colour that characterise the original are nowhere discoi-er. able. Mr. Booth has set a model before hint, the perfec tions of which he oftener attempts than attains. times he deviates from his exemplar --generally for worse, and apparently for the sake of deviation. This is little things—no doubt with the view of spicing his score palpable imitations with an appearance of occasional on. ginality. " To Particularise--theopeningsoliloquy was much iu the manner of Kean, with less force, point, spirit, and variety than be imparts to it. Of the scene with Lady dine Re may say the same ; the principal and only difference brin e , that Mr. Booth did not, like his predecessor, unmask hypocrisy to the audience While he concealed it from mistress. In this instance he may have interpretti adage " An est eelare artem" - too literally. The delivery of the line after the departure of Anne, "FA have her, but I will not keep her long," was the essence of colloquial vulgarity. We allude fro-e particularly to the later part of it. Mr. Booth should member Richard was a Prince, and incapable of hil.ing like a costermonger. The breacli with Bud:lb / gum, and the manner of giving the celebrated passage, " Thou troublest me—l em not in the vein," was had—very bad indeed. Subsequently, when news is brought of Befehingham's revolt, and the King makes in quiry whether proper measures have been taken fur 11:s apprehension, Mr. Booth ranted out " Has any careful of proclaimed Reward," &c. in a manner utterly unappropriate and ridiculous. Tile point which followed : "OW with his heatl—ao much for Buckingham." was successfully delivered in clo se imitation of and was received with three distinct rounds of applause. We are no admirers of the mode in which Mr. Booth drawleA out the word marked in italics in the address to Loki Stanley. " What do they in the North?" The performer attempted something of a new point in the passage, " 'Teas but a dream," but we cannot congratulate him on his success. We beg leave to tell him his conception is not sustained by the context or the usage of the best actors, and as for the ex ecution it was a failure. While on the subject of Mr. Booth's novelties, we may as well advert to a trick he has got of altering the text of his author. This he did in more instances than one last night, and we fear not from inad vertence. We have no doubt he is a very clever man, bu: for our part we are quite content to take Shakspeare as he stands, without the emendations of Mr. Booth. 11'e con clude with requesting the gentleman to favour ng with DJ more of his new readings, and hope he will be in futt:% , content to take !Junket's advice, anti " Speak no more titan is set down for hhn."
