P 4 11 r%'• barn OLM Lt.....4t.ar()WDENT 1 PAWS, OCTAL The scandalous scenes which took place at the interment o f, or rather at the refusal of funeral rites to, Madetnoiselle Beacom% of the Theatre Francais, some few years since, were renewed yesterday at the interment of Philippe, the favourite actor at the Theatre Porte St. Martin, which fur nished another occasion for the priests t o shew their into lerant spirit, and to the people of Paris to express their w.utiments of indignation at their unfeeling conduct. The brother of the deceased actor wrote a note the day before yesterday, to the Curate of saint Leurent, the parish of the deceased , to inform him that thc day following the body of his departed brother would ho brought to his church. The Citrate replied, that he should acquaint the Archbishop of Paris. The Archbishop, on being informed of the intended burial, sent immediately a formal order to 4w Curate, positively forbidding him to allow the body of the eomedian to cuter the church. Notwithstanding this prohibition, the actors of almost all the thanes in Paris, who attended at the house of deceased, conducted the body of their comrade to the Church of Bt. Laurent, where, on their arrival, they found the doors shut against them, and the persona employed to conduct the funeral wished to pro ceed with the body to the cemetery of Pere la Chaise. The actors opposed this measure, and threatened to con duct the body to the Tuileries, amp demand justice of the Ring. The undertakers, on their part, declared they would not carry the body to any other place than to the cemetery. The comedians, upon this. took the body of their departed friend from the hearse, upon their shoul ders, and directed their proc-ssion towards the Boulevards. hiring this scene of resistance and die lissioa, the crowd increased ; and when the cum 'diens commenced their march towards the Tuileries, they were followed by five or .be thousand persons, ivlio all kept their heads uncovered, in token of respect to the dead, but express:ng their dis gust at this bigoted interfer:nce of the priests. This mul titude passel in front of the barracks of the gendarmes, who were instantly under arms: but the crowd was so compr.ared, that the gendarmes could not make an open ing, and were obliged to follow in its rear. They at length arrived before the Theatre des Varieties; but orders had been ilewatchert for the military, and a strong column of gend'annes intercepted the way, and they were obliged to halt. The coffin was placed on the ground, and all arlvirel that a deputation should be sent to the Tuileries. This ineoure was adopted, and a deputation, composed of Etas and managers of the Theatre, proceeded to the Pe lee. There was an interval of an hour before their return, during which delay the most violent imprecation* were uttered against the priests. The women appeal ed the most enraged, and called out to the gend'arines, re proaching them with being l'apnui des Muting, des cor king, fee. llec. In the mean time the deputation was re oeircsl at the Tuileries by the Premier Gentilliumme de la eterrhee, who had been advertised of their snivel, and of the answer prcconcerted which was to be given them. lle replied to tea it :replication, that it was an affair which lay with the Nlinister of the Interior (Corbiere) and that it Vas to him they ought to address themselves. The drpu tathin returned with this unatisfactory reply, while a re pot was artfully circulated, that they had received an enter to conduct the body to the church, upon which the air rang with shouts of " Five le Roi ! Yin Charles X. e. These gratulation' soon proved to be premature. The "Ain ordered the coffin to he placed in the hearse, which 1311 been brought up, and the gentrannes beaten to gallop in furiously among the crowd, brandialiine round their "Ares ( litigant Sr tnmlinet de fear submit), and several ran and women were thrown down and trampled upon by di hones. The hearse was driven on, and proceeded to the cemetery of P6re la Chaise, preceded by a litentred horse soldier, with drawn swords, and followed by the ISM number of infantry. Thus the burial of this ownetisn had all the appearance of a general insurrection. The imprecations sesinst the priests were loud and ince,- SW, till the procession arrived at the cemetery, where the gereisrmte dispersed the crowd, and would allow only a few of the friends or the deceased to enter the burial ground. What a scene is this to be exhibited in regenerated France. and in the nineteenth century ! It is expected, however, that the Ministers will turn it to account, as justifying strong measures, and calling for increased energy on the part of the Government. TeeSDAY, Owe ()Twee. The guns are firing at this moment at the Hotel des In safes, in cons-oitvoce of the visit Charles X. is now pay to that retreat of veterans. The police, however, are on the alert, and the salmi of the gendarmerie flash in the L:1 of the crowd, in spite of the cries of " Vive Ic Itoi !" Ocroara 2W. It appears that the sort of tumult occasioned by the Thal to admit the corpse of the actor Philippe into the church, produced a great sensation at the Tuileries. It • said that the Kill, in telling the deputation that pre tested itself at the palace, that they should address them plres to the Minister of the Interior, meant that that %sista should give orders for admitting the corpse into the church; but it was not thus that M. Corbieres under swathe message ; minion the other hand, I)Am-4:either the intentian of the or that of Ow Minister, could be kl;wq. the Polio: had camettenceel proceeding with the expo direct to the cenetery.

The brig Augusta, Rogers, has arrived at Quarantine, in 13 days front Havana. Thera is as much danger from pirates now, round the island of Cuba, as there has been at any time before. Scarcely a vessel passes the Ilithamas but is molested or chased by them, and at the present moment the wrecks of It vessels lie on the coast of Cubs, between Muriel and the Bay of 'font's, an extent of coast not ex ceeding 40 miles. " nitre is not the smallest doubt," says Capt. Rogers, " that piracy is countenanced by many merchants at Havana, and that • complete system is arranged amongst them. I have heard several Spanish gentlemen say, and I hebeve it is the opinion of the moat of them, that piracy un our vessels is a justifiable reprisal for the assistance given by our comm.) men to the Colombians, and the only means they have of redress."

It was suggested that a fund be raised tic be deposited in the hands of a Committee for the benefit of any one who should bring him in either dead or alive. An unusual degree of sickness was prevailing in the tallies of A resort and 31aracay, supposed to be occasioned by the failure of the last corn crop, which had so much enhanced the price as to compel the inhabitants to have recourse to unwholesome food for their support. The troops about to reinforce our army in Peru, are expected, says the Colombian°, to leave Puerto (:abello for the Isthmus, on the 2.ith instant. The l'uniana division had already arrived at Puerto l'aliello, under the command of Colonel Monagas, and the total amount of troops about to embark, is near four thousand.

In the Colombian papers that reached us yesterday, we find the following Decree of the Colombian Government, respecting the " territory of Poyais." We observed some time ago that this intended principality was included within the limits of the new States; and w. expressed our conviction that they would, when their attention was drawn to the subject, speedily put an end to the schemes of Mac- Gregor and his coadjutors. The following document must finally, and ftir ever, close the hopes of the public creditors of Poyais. Will it be possible after this to do the bonds at half-a•crown per ccni.? We have been told (hut we cannot say " upon lib highest authority,") that the patents of the Poyaisiat nobility, the credentials of the Ca cique's Ambassadors, the stars and ribbons of the Poy aisitin military order of the Green Cross, a collection of the bank notes issued at royals, and guard. srdf: of the bonds issued in London, have passed into the hands of a show man for public exhibition. Such a display would be more than amusing. It would form the bitterest and hest satire upon the supposed knowledge of the age. Southsea bub bles indeed!

One says, Iturhide was supported by the Cabinet of St. James's ; another, that he was assisted by the be loved Ferdinand ; a third observes, " Oh, the holy Alliance sent him to Mexico!" Another writer remarks, that all is anarchy and confusion in the Republic; that the Government wants energy, and that the present order of things cannot last long. But In spi:e of all the tiateltupiii,• cunning, and desire to perpetuate the sla very of this fair portion of the globe, in opposition to all their in. trigues with the Iturbidiests ; I say it, hit I know it, that this empire never can, never will again come under the selfish. jesulti. cal, and inquisitorial Government of Old Spain. The Republic have at their head men who would have done honour to the must enlightened period of Greece or Route. The present President, General Bravo. is equal to the immortal Washington in private virtue and public patriotism. As the people of these States, and, in fact, most other people, are but little acquainted with Mexico, or Its rulers, I propose giving a few anecdotes of atone of the lead ing men. General Bravo and his family are Creoles of Mexico. His father ar.d himself beheld with emotion the enslavement of their beloved country, and panted for the day of its emancipation from the bonJage of its tyrants. They flew to arms, and the " worker of pittisfau" thalami shows rebut*. Ocnenti Ratio's Skater win taken pittinner by the Viceroy, i and thrown into prison. !Its mother was employed to use treaties with the son, who was at the head of an army of re Beans. She entered the tent. it " I am come tram the Viceroy to offer you an iachalfo,t and every honour the King can confer on you and all your family, if you will submit to his clemency, and lay down your arms. Your father's life will be spared, your mother and (molly he made happy, and the highest liononts of nobility will be lavished on yourself and family, if you will forsake the cause of freedom and leave the re. publicans." Ile surveyed for a moment his parent. able the deepest emotion took posses ' of his *mil. He replied, " tint you are my mother, I have always believed ; but now I doubt it I : , ;o, Madam, General Bravo never can consent :u the enslavement of his country. Let my Wher die like a patriot; for I will never sell myself and m country on such base terms." Site flattened to the Viceroy . I lia father was called out of his dungeon and shot. A short tune after, a regiment of Spaniards, which wart consi. demi invincible, fell in with General Brava and his little hand of patriots. A battle ensued; four hundred of the Europeans were slain, and three hundred taken prisoners. The General told them, " Now is niy revenge." Next day he called out his mama, and ordered them to load; and after aildrinsing his army, and reeapi. tulatlng the many and cold-blooded murders perpetrated by the royalists, on some of the richest Creole families and best patty*, he turned to the prisoners and said, " This is the moment of 'hewing to my enemies and the world, the revenge General Bravo will take up o n the murderers of his father and the oppressors of his country. I oilier year ITICILIC Will freedom. A vessel awaits you on the coast to carry you hence. If any one of you shall be found in this country again, his life shall be the forfeit.

The Cheek Committee were much gratified on Thurs day by the iotrishiction of nine Greek boys, who have coax• to England for the purpose of education. They Were dressed in their Greek costume, and appeared highly pleased. Capt. ltlaquiere, who brought them to England, says that the anxiety in Greece to obtain education in Eng land is astonishing. Several boys, who were disappointed in accompanying Captain 13. cried bitterly at his de parture. When the Greek boys were Introduced to the Greek Committee, Captain Blarrifere presented the Turkish flag which the hero Nlarco liozzaris seized a few minutes before his death, as well as two cannon-balls, cut from the marble of the Parthenon, which the Greeks hare been obliged to use for want of other ammunition. There was no visit paid to the Greek Government by Sir F. Adam ; but Captain Peelle% of his Majesty's ship t:as arrived at the Admiralty, with despatches, announcing that the Greeks revoked their Proclamation, upon a requisition to that effect, made through Captain I'echell !lima...V.—Courier. We unslersund that Mr. Hurtado, the Colombian Envoy, has received despatches from his Government, announcing that Bolivar hailwritten to stop all further reinforcements, as he felt himself fully equal to the contest, even if a com bat should ensue. which he slid not anticipate. A letter from Baltimore states, that the its hat irants of that city have slet :mined to erect a marble monument in bon oo r of General La Fayette. which is to contain, among other things, an account of the battle of Brandywine, in which he was 'rounded in our cause. There are already two monuments erected in that city ; one for Washington, and the other commemorative of the battle of Baltimore, during the late war, in which general Rosa was killed; this will add a third, end will be equal in all mapects to the other t wo. The Neap York Nafieva aitrite give', the following anecdote, un good authority from Cuba, with the remark that " The Government ut t-tpaita has nu real power in the Kest Indies:"— " The brig Matte, Lieutenant Apo.larn, was commissioned to g 0 4! ellirlf Key, in quest of LI traitor, by name Rodriguez.

Mom the Nam York Commercial Adorenose.] We were looking the other day at the map of Europe, and glancing our eye along the coast of that mighty conti nent, it realed on the little spot which Englishmen, in their pride and security, have denominated the "fast-anchors; lsie." A few reflections, like the glittering streaks of the morning, shot through our minds, and we looked in alto ' !fluent and admiration upon the little isle, so insignifi in itself, and yet so large in the scale of nations. Our has been accustomed to frown upon Englishmen detest their government, and we do now some part of But the time of this ignorance and this enmity have passed away, and left the mind free to take in, afid to en tertain, without jealousy and without reproach, the idea of the great resources, the extensive influence, physical, mo ral, and intellectual, which have secured everlasting fame to England end to Englishmen. In contemplating the wonders embodied in the character of the people, we over look the dark spots iu their history, and forget the errors and crimes of their government. We only see that Eng land is our elder-born : that her people speak the rum language, profess the same faith, arc governed by the same laws and lave the same interest in the support and pre- dominance of free institutions, and of civil liberty. Look at her, girt within a little compass by the stormy ocean ; in size, to the nations of the Continent, like a drop in the bucket; in climate, unpropitious; in soil, unfruitful ; and yet her name is knowii, respected, and has its influence I wherever cultivated men have penetrated the seas or the I earth. There is a mental and moral influence, no less than physical, and indeed were it the latter only, the passage of a few ages would gradually obliterate her fame, instead of hallowieg and adding to it. It is a mental superiority, it is the power of lttters, it is the observation of the principles of eternal truth, which, More eminently than than tempo ral powr or extent of dominion, give prosperity to a nation and endless glory to her name. It was reported yesterday that a confidential clerk in the employ of Mr. Rothschild, had absconded from the house in l'eris, taking with him property to the amount of 9.0.0001. It is said he got safely on board an American veusel, and is now on hurillyage to that country. AZT or rums° A NEWSPAPEK WITH OaICINAL MATTER.—Pub!ish a letter one mining, as from " An Attorney," stating that ministers deserve no credit fot their pretended liberality in repealing the stamp duty on law pro ceedings, because, in fact, all the worst and heaviest duties are, by a shameful juggle, still continued. The next morning, under another signature, publish a contradiction to the former statement, and acknowledge that it is only " calculated to mislead the public :" it might be as well, perhaps, sometimes to express surprise how so well-in formed a journal could be led into such an error. This course will at leas. answer one useful purpose, it will serve to fill the columns of the paper with " Original Matter ." but its utility will not stop there. Those who see only the first article u ill be filled with admiration at the patriotism, public spiritedness, and so forth, of the exposition of the pseudo-liberality of thcm'nisters. Those who see only the second will be gulled 1 y the compliment paid by the editor to himself. Those who see both may, to be sure, despise the trick, but if they are thelaughbred oppositionists they will be 'dewiest at the d ligence manifested to discover something to abuse the ministers, and they will see plainly that it is no fault of the Editor's if he grumbles less than usual, because the ministers maliciously deprive him of at pretexts for raising an outcry that the constitution is in danger. If these instructions be not sufficient, vide the Times of Thursday and yesterday. The Bost,n Stutesman, speaking of one of the candidates for the Presidency, says—"fhe eminent citizen who is destined to be our next President, was a schoolmaster in Georgic. Mr. Crawford was the son of poor but respect able pt cats, from wl om he inherited no fame, and no nobility but the nobility of allure,' a strong constitit t'cn, a cemtnanding person', and a vigorous trfnel.

The plan proposed in Sweden, about two years since, in a pamphlet, of forming a Societ:•, the object of which should be to assimilate itself to the ancient simplicity of manners, has been just put into execution upon the southern frontiers of the kingdom, where a colony has been founded under the title of " a name given by the old Poets to Sweden, and which signifies " Dwelling of Men ;" and it is placed in opposition to " Gudahem,' or " &ahem," which means " Abode of the Gods." A person employed in the management of ecclesiastic affairs, and nephew to a Swedish Bishop, is at the bead of the colony, the members of which, having tenounced the affairs of the world, support themselves by the labour of their hands, and live upon milk. They have but a single silver spoon for those strangers who go to visit thou, and who are received with the greatest hospitality. The colony con sists of ten or eleven families, many of whom arc the pos sessors of considerable wealth. An officer, the son of one of the most opulent inhabitants of Stockholm, and distin guished for his knowledge and the purity of his morals, has, at an early period of his life, abandoned the military profession, for the purpose of attaching himself to the Society. The ground possessed by the members is pur chased for 20 years, and the buildings constructed are com pletely in the style of those of the old Goths. Whatever may be thought of the peculiarity of disposition which could operate upon the members of this new sect, so far as to separate them from their fellows, the purity of their intentions, and the principles they profess, are above all criticism. The Court of King's Bench, it is stated, will be moved to set aside the verdict given at thdhlford against the City of London, for re-opening Yardlett Creek. Ltvtar oot, OCT. Vi.—(Extract of a private letter.)— " We have a vessel arrived this day from Maranham, in ballast, not being able to procure a cargo, in consequence of all communication with the interior being stopped." In the heavy gale of Tuesday sc'nnight, the sloop Ches terfield, bound from Yarmouth to Boston with bricks, was wrecked off' Hunston Point, in so heavy a sea that the captain and mate escapee! with difficulty, and the cabin boy was drowned. Mrs. Richardson, wife of Mr. Rich ardson. formerly of the Bull-Inn, Pittston, and three of her children, with whom she was coming into Lincoln shire on a visit to her mother at Bennington, went down with the ship, and unhappily they met a watery grave. A private Bitting of the Magistrates was held on Satur day last, to investigate a circumstance of a most mysteri ous nature. It appears that a day or two previous, some beer purchased at a public-house in tins town produced, on a small quantity being drunk, an effect which lid to the suspicion that some ingredient of a poisonous nature had been mixed with it. What tended to give more probabi lity to this suspicion was, the fart of many other persons having the same evening drunk beer drawn from the same cask, without experiencing the slightest inconvenience. The liquor had also totally changed its appearance, having assumed a gr..enish colour, though it retained the taste of beer ; it has been given to a chemist for the purpose of be ing analyzed.

MONUMENTAL COLIIM.V TO COMMEMORA 2 ruts PEACE. (yall/1 A COILIF.APOMOZNY.)

On this spot it has been determined to erect a Column to Commemorate the Peac., which has so bountifully shed her many thousand blessings over the whole civilized world, and to which the united services of the British Armies, Navies, and Councils, so essentially contributed. The proportions, it is said, will equal that unrivalled monument of art erected by Sir Christopher Wren. Indeed it was first proposed to take down that column, i:s itreeti venience, inutility, and danger, having been so universally and loudly complained of by the citizens, and to re-erect the with appr o p r i ate re li e f s, i n the r., central, and corn ngsituatiun r e f erre d to . W t i de last pro-. positi will not ultim a t e ly b e carried, efeet, is not yet determined. More certain it is, that ofi the site referred to, it is determined to erect a Column of grand proportions, with the simple inscription, " Erected to Commemorate the Peace of. 11415. May it be eternal as this Paha." TI e bas-reliefs will be emblematical of Peace and tier blessings, and the whole will be crowned with a colossal ileac of his present 111;jey. The IW/in Morning Star, a furious Orange paper, con tains the fullowinp paragraph :—" The Cat h olic /Wain tion have become the most important feature in the history of our country, in this or any other age.

An Aggregate Meeting of the Catholics of the County and City of Cork is convened for Tileilday next, " to con. eider the state of education, as regards the poor therein, and to adopt measures for counteracting the efforts of various Societies, which, ender the semblance* of religion vet charity, are labouring to subvert the Cath o lic F a i t h in Ire land.' —Dublin Merriffig Post.

THIRD Hoe Dix n.—Yesterday the third and last hop dinner took place at the Fleece Inn, Canterbury. Many sales were effected, principally bought by one factor, at prices full as high as last week. Several planters, how ever, will not yet sell, inexpectation of higher prices, which, from the great demand and ready sale experienced by those who pitched their hops at Wephill fair may reasonably be expected. It is a little extraordinary, but there has been no competition this year in our market among the factors—one buying all one day, and another buying all th e following day. We know that several planters have taken their temples to London themselves, thinking they can do quite as well without the middle man. A very extraordinary advance in the price of iron has 'taken place within a short period, that article haring risen from 8!. to IN. the ton. A worthy Alderman, whose chief property lies in mines of this metal, will, it is said, derive an addition of the immense sum of 90,000!. to his annual inrome from this cause, provided the increased value is maintained. The return of iron ore smelted at his works is eetimat.d at 5,000 tons weekly. Mr. Rich. Staples. for several years second Clerk at the Public Office Union Hall, has been appointed Chief (21::rk, in the room of the late Mr. James Reeves, who held the situation for the last eighteen years.

Eight years acseNhun the population of the town was not so great as it is now by .V 0,600, the number of persons in the workhouse was up wards of 1700. In consequence of the heavy rain on Monday and Tues day, the 12th and the ISth instant, there was the largest flood at Melton Mowbray that has been known for th'rteen years; several houses were two feet deep in water. So sudden was the rise of the flood, that a man who on hts way to Leicester fair stopped to bait his horse at an Inn adjoining the Thorpe Toll-bar, and who sat down in the kitchen and fell asleep, when he awoke to his great surprise found that he was itumerstd up to his knees in water.— Stunifurd Mercury.
