The Colombian Papers received yesterday by way of Liverpool, add nothing to our knowledge of the progress of nouvaa in Peru. From the eitszgerated tone in which toe Americans deseiribe every success of their arms, it is manifest that w,: must listen with caution to the accounts we may hercaftr receive through these channels. The comments of the Editor of the Curthugena Gazette will be found to be highly amusing. on account of the absurd spirit of antithetical bombast in which they are composed. In respect of empty boasting and idle swaggering, we see not much to choose between the Gazette writer of Madrid and his. American adversaries. We are disappointed in receiving any further intelli gence on which we can rely, respecting the progress of the Burmese war, in eonszquence of the loss of all the papers by the Cambridge, from Bombay. Nearly halt the private letters have also been destroyed. From those which were preserved, it appears that the enemy was in great force, and the general opinion in India was quite decided, that the war would be tedious, difficult, and expensive.' In several alinnishes the British bad been repulsed; but these affairs, we understand, were all in themselves of very trilling importance. It had been discovered that an attempt Fad been triode by the Burmese to excite Er SING take up arum against the Indian Government on the first opportunity ; and we have little doubt that their emissaries are actively employed in other parts of India, to snake hor- Ile diversions in their favour. An additional supply of 10,000 men, for three years, are deemed neeisaary to pro secute the war with vigour awl success. The 20th regi ment had been despatched from Bombay, and the 47th was under orders. We regret to find, from these letters, that the misunderstanding ht;ween the Governor-general and the Commander-in-Chief remains unadjusted. Sr EDWARD PAGET had resigned his scat in the Council, but it was ispecteil that he would take the field as soon as the season for active operations cormbencrel, at the Lead of a large force. About ‘..4000 men on the expedition under Sir A. C•ATDELL, are stated to be sickly. The latest letters from Bombay are dated the 11th of August. Advice. hail been received there from Bengal to the ',rah of July, and (rain Madras to the 3d of August. At tl•r India !louse yesterday it was announced by the CAIAIIIM AN, that it was intended to print some more papers relative to the administration of the Marquis of Has yrxo's. Already a pile of above 2000 pages has been de livered to the proprietors. How will it be possible, if many more papers be printed, to conic to any sound de cision rs to their contents? Who will read such a mass through? Most men, deterred at the vast bulk laid on their tables, will altogether abstain from beginning what they must plainly foresee they can n?ver accomplish ; and the des i red infonnation will thus almost as effectually he denied them as if no papers at all had been printed. This is one of the cases which has most tended to prove the unfitness of investing sovereign power in the hands of a mercantile company. It is quite clear, whether Lord ilastnte.s be blameable or not, that justice cannot he rendered to him by any judgment of the General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock. In order to qualify them to decide correctly on the question, they should wholly abstract Of-wit:lves fur several months from every eonsieltration but that ote alone. Who, however, even of thorc who will rpeak on the subject, will take the trouble to read the two thousand pagts already printed? A nd yet not only ought they to be merely read, but attentively corrriared ard considered ? Mr. DOUGLAS KINNAI AD, who, it app:-.ats, has some publication forthcoming as to Indian of h:s intention at an early period lion of the Court as to the merits of services. That decision, whenever it mot doubt, will exonerate him from but w'..) will be to that con ud re :used of else document sty history of his administration ? A more striking and intelligible proof of what the Company owe him may tg., concisely drawn from the events in India during the last two years. The Court of King's Bench was yesterday again occu pied with one of those causes which particularly attract the attention of a certain portion of the public. The defendant was the well-known Mr. ex-Sheriff PA RI I ws, who, how ever misfortune may in some respects press upon him, will at least enjoy once more the supreme felicity of seeing his notoriety again established, in this day's papers. To a man of his taste, we know not what other adequate consolation could be offered for the pain and fatigues of yesterday's labours. Mr. PARKINS has stood before the public in many capacities, and in all, we believe, with precisely equal credit and success. Yesterday he was tried on an indictment for wilful and corrupt perjury, growing out of his treasurership for the poor Irishman, Ilya Nr, and the literary assistance he was about that time in the :tabit of rendering the liforniug Resold newspaper. It appears, from the evidence for the prosecution, that Mr. PARK! ss was one of the few select friends who were admitted to the inmost recesses of the " editor's" confidence ; hitt pre suming to introduce a retainer or acquaintance whom he was employing as an agent in his multifarious concerns, legal, moral, and political, the ether.• resented the in trusion, and forthwith ordered Mr. Pane's and his new friend to retire. The worthy ex-Sheriff rot retreating with requisite celerity, the entire force of the establishment was mustered to expel him, and he was finally, after much thrusting, throwing, and wrestling, ejected, vi et arm is, from the premises, and conveyed,—such is the historical fact,—this late civic dignitary—he who had struggled for the precedency of the county of Middlesex, was, as a com mon street disturber, conveyed to the parish watchhouse. It would seem, front what pas.•ted yesterday in Court, that the impolite intrusion of his hanger-on was not the chief offence which drew down on Mr. l'anxi we the united wrath of the whole posse lilt-rev- es of the Morning Herald. The editor suspected the integrity of the ex-Sheriff's friendship: with all his professions of sincere attachment to the interests of that journal, it scents that the unfaithful man shared his favours with other papers, though the edi tor had very earnestly stipulated for a monopoly of Mt. PARKINS'S " iuiormation." An action was afterwards tried, to recover compensation for the damages sustained by the ex-Sheriff's unfortunate follower, anti on that trial he swore that he was not ordered to quit the room before he was turned out of it. Fur this,. and some other similar and connected statements, Mr. Pana tvs was indicted for perjury; but the proof being defective to bring home to his knowledge the facts contrary to his evidence, proved yesterday by other witnesses, he was necessarily acquitt •tl. Several other indictments for perjury arc, we believe, now pending against other individuals, for testimony given in trials proceeding from the prolific root of By a E and PARK is s. It ir deeply to be regretted that the time of the Court of King's Bench should be consumed in the adjudgment of matters so much beneath its consi deration and dignity. The last American Papers give an extract of a letter from Porto Rico, dated 19th October, which states that a Preach fleet had been seen passing between the islands of St. Lucia and Dominica. The Congress of Colombia closed their session on the 2d of August, having passed sixty-fonr laws and decrees. The Bogota Gazelle speaks in term: of commendation of many of the members, both with regard to their talents and their principles. The whole number of both houses, we understand, is between sixty and seventy, and might be expected to include seine mdtsidnals not well ac quainted with the system of legislation. One of the most important tn. asurts adopted during the last ses sion, is the law intended to destroy entaihnents, at such l a future period as net to injure those who at present en joy them. The property of Spaniards has likewise been confiscated in the Republic, after waiting fourteen years, hoping the Spanish nnent would repeal a similar measure they had taken against Colombians owning pro- perry in Spain. pleasures have also been taken to relieve the occupants of rented houses, lands, &c. from tedious and distressing law-suits, in which thousands in all the provinces have been uselessly involved. And this will pro duc,, extensive advantages. A sinking fund has been esta blished for the gradual extinction of the national debt—but the Coforribiono laments, we fear with too much reason, the want of adequate financial talent in the republic. With all the wealth of the country, and the revenues derived from their commerce, even at the present period of peace and prosperity, the actual receipts of the treasury are in sufficient to meet the public salaries and private claims. Messrs. Hislop and Rennie, Englishmen, have solicited the exclusive privilege of manufacturing paper in Colombia for 21 years, cu certain conditions, and the Government, as usual, have advertised for more advantageous terms to I be offered within 41) days. Accounts ar.2 receivea at Baltimore, from St. Thomas's, that the United Statrs' schooner Beagle, on the trith of October, fell in will' and captured a small piratical sloop rigged Loat, on the south side of Crab Island. The crew elFected their escape. Subsequently, it was understood, six of them had lxvii taken prisoners by the authorities of Crab Island. The whole tittinb,:r of persons on board, as nearly as could be rseertained, amount: 11 to eleven.

Of all the many popular dramas which have been hewn into a theatrical shape out of the abundant materials of the Scottish novels, there is none whose attraction has ex perienced so little abatement as Guy _Mannerly. This arises partly from the wild and romantic interest of the story, but in a still greater measure from its dramatic and musical facilities ; from the singular richness, force and humour of some of its characters, the gentle and winning innocence of others, and from the tone of heart-touching, pathetic, and beautiful music, with which it is so deeply and charmingly imbued. Dominic Sampson, Meg Mer-1 rifles, Dick Hafferick, and Dandle Mamma, are amongst the most original personages of the modern stage; and ' performed as they have been by some of the lead ing actors of the age, they have at length come to be identified with our notions of whatever is excellent, and are regarded as the touchstones of all new candidates for theatrical fame. The music, though less original, is not less beautiful, and we are wont to dwell upon it with a fond recollection of the exquisite grace, skill, pathos, and power with which which Miss Stephens and Braham have been used to give it. In a great degree, therefore, the po pularity of Gay Manner* is a difficulty thrown in the way of new performers; they must stand a comparison with the best comedians, and the most distinguished voca lists en the stage. Mrs. Bum) may indeed outstrip Mrs. Eger ton in the vehemence of her gesticulation, and the melodra matic grandeur which she flings around the romantic witch of Derncleugh ; but con Mr. Brown come within a thousand miles of the singularly-exquisite portrait of a terminus and heartless smuggler, which we recollect. as exhibited by that clever actor, Tokely ? Can Sherwin, natural and im pressive as he is, be compared with Emery ? Can Mr. Harley tell steps with that wonder of the stage—the non pareil of ugliness and humour—the inimitable Liston ? And, finally, ought not the friends of Mr. Sapio to tremble when he ventures to tread in the steps of &ahem ? Mr. Sapio is, most assuredly, an accomplis.ted artist,—a delicate, tasteful, and beautiful singer. It is no disgrace to him to say that he is inferior to his predect ssor ; yet, of all who are now on the stage, no one approaches to him more closely. Accustomed hitherto to the less arduous vocation of concert singing, he has not entirely mastered all the difficulties of his new pursuit ; he has not learned to accommodate him self to his present condition; hence there is an uncertainty, an inequality about mist of his performances. Some portions are really excellent, others are really bad. The confidence which bears him onward to success at one moment, deserts him in the next at a point scarcely above mediocrity. This was very manifest in the Seraskier, and had net entirely disappeared from his Henry Berfram of last night. Although Mr. Sapio sustained the reputation he had previously won by his performance of last evening, yet we can hardly say he enhanced it. In the English airs he was excellent, but in the Scottish, which are the appropriate songs of the piece, he was not equally fortunate. There seemed to be quite a deficiency in his mode of pronouncing the Scottish words, and occasionally a disposition to sink them altogether, Mr .he sake of the harmony of the air. This was remarkably perceptible in that celebrated song, " Scots wha hat." Mr. Sapid) was encored in it, not without some opposition, how ever, but it was one of the most unhappy specimens of his art we have yet heard from him. There was a languid ness in his articulation, which quite weakened the fine, bold, and manly spirit of the air, and the independence of the sentiments with which this song so beautifully abounds. Brabant has made this song so peculiarly his own, that it is a venturesome undertaking for even so successful an aspirant as Mr. Sapio to attempt it after hint. The song, howev,r, occurred at the close of the opera, and much allowance should be made for the great fatigue which Mr. Sapio had previously undergone.

RIOT AT THE LIrI.RPOOL TIIEATRE.—Extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated I) T. 21 : " This outrage continued on Wednesday Inst. and assumed a more violent shape than on the previous 3!iiiidav ; a koile, penny pieces, and other missiles, were thrown at tlis pinlOrniets, the scenery. and the curtain, and the whole tune which should have been devoted to attention to the performance of tie afterpiece, was occupied in riot and outrage.

RECORD. No. I. Minton. If the diffusion of genuine piety, and the increase of public and private virtue, kept pace with the progress of theological learning and the faithful labours of the Estab lished Church, the friends to truth and Christianity would have little cause to complain. Our Establishment has un questionably produced Biblical :chairs of the very first rank—men whose taste was equal to their erudition, and whose lives were an ornament to the religion they professed; and if infidaity has made great strides,—as it is reported to have done,—of late years, it cannot be ascribed to any want of exertion on the other side to oppose its progress. It was to be expected that the increase of knowledge, and of that spirit of inquiry which is the necessary consequence, would inevitably lead, after a time, to a severe examination of established doctrines, and a scrupulous investigation of received opinions. Pure religion has nothing to fear from this scrutiny : the cause of moral and practical Christianity will be a gainer by it. Free discussion on all subji ets is favourable to truth ; prrsecutiwz crinilms is the last re source of Eaton. A new periodical work has just ap peared inalcr the title of " The Quarterly Theological Re view and Eedesiastical Record," and we hail its appearance as an earnest that religious (minions and doctrinal publica tions will in future ho brought to the fair tribunal of criti cism, and not into a court of criminal lute. Falsehood cannot be2r up against confutation, but it eon bear up against fine and imprisonment. Truth may always safely be left to the support of her own evidence; and we trust that this Theological Review will add one snore to the channels of free discussion, and enlarge the sphere of can did inquiry. The inoispectur contains the following outline of the plan of the work, and the principles upon which it is intended to conduct it. " To the Clergy, more especially, of the Established Church of England and Ireland, and of the Episcopal Church of Scotland but, in general, to the Laity of these kingdoms, who nre scarcely less concerned than the Clergy in all spiritual mottos, it is designed to furnish an accurate and impaniul register of facts relating to the Ikclesiastical Institutions of the country ; many of which, though of vital importance, are now overlooked amidst the variety of sub jects which occupy the political and literary journals, or ars for gotten in the rapid succession of events, which, for a slay only, arrest the attention of the public. " As a Compendium of Theology, this Review will aspire to no tither distinction than that of being eminently useful ; and in order to attain this end, no proper means will he neglected to render it emducire to its avowed object—the pmmotion of right feeling among those who are brethren of one liounduild, together with the diffusion of such knowledge as may lead to a judicious, thin, and enlightened adherence to the principles of the Established Church ; and to a temperate, charitable, and effective defence of them in time of need. ..... _ To the younger members of the clerical profession, it may, in some degree, supply the want of experience ; serving them as a monitor and guide in the discharge of their pastoral duties, whilst it will supply them with much necessary information, and direct them in the choice and pmgress of their studies. " Even to those who dissent from the doctrines, nntl reject the or dinances, of the Established Church ' it may not be unacceptable. Such persona will see the arguments adduced on both sides of the many controverted questions which divide the religious world, fairly stated, and treated without superciliousness or acrimony. " In the pages of the Quarterly Theological Review there may, and probably will, be discovered the natural effects of early strong impressions in favour of the doctrines and discipline of the Episco palian Chureh„ which forms a part of the Constitution of the coun try. The undisguised expression of such feelings as must necessa rily spring from conscientious confo .... ity, will have its place ; but, assuredly, there will not be detected any want of reasonable tolera tion towards the honest differences of persuasion, the hereditary scruples, or the candid opposition, which may, in the course of cri tical examination, become the subject of remark. Against the writings of the Intidet, the Seditious, and the Profligate, alone, will this Review direct its unqualified an fearless censures: in the con. detonation of such writings, bemuse they arc subversive of every thing that is dcar to man as a religious and social bring, will no lenity be shown." We arc willing to consider the term " reasonable tolera tion" as an oversight, because to " honest dfferenees or persuasion," and " hereditary scruples... we rhould he sorry that the conductors of this Review, whoever they may be, should consider any degree of toleration as ilia 'n amable. The duty of Christian forbearance and charity annexes no fintit, that we are aware of, to endurance in such case. IYe should, moreover, feel inclined to inquire beforehand, when toleration is to cease, what weapons are to be resorted to? We offsv this observation en passant, having no doubt but that they will furnish sufficient re- GOMM!, in their own powers of reason and argument, to preclude the necessity of calling on any irregular re-enforce mcnts. nnt•rn.

It was easy for Gentlemen to say they would be ' , notelet a week ; but the minutes of Governors and Generals were in gene i. voluminous documents, and required more time.

The Government of Gude was not in a state el thraldom. He was obliged to make this statement to suppost veracity in the House of Commons. To show the nature of the hi-1 between the Visier and the Company., he would have to read tie documents of eight or nine years.

The only ground he stood upon was this, and he Sr.: it strong, that at a subsequent period, and with these papers brim the eyes of the Directors. they came to as flattatag resolution concerning the Marquis of Ilasungs, as were ever paned upon the most favoured servant, and at a still later period that l'ourt echad them.

This is the rock on which he stood, and if they sere to publish the menden: l cistern years, they could not shake him from that nick. unit-ode general merits of the transactions at Hydralmd operated against us fame. If this was NI NI much the worse. but if the csminin. ttt simple fact would lea d to a verification of their former priweedirars No ingenuity would shake him front this rock, until someth( was proved to derogate from his fame. Under these eircuiestareo the question should be dismissed at once, and the Marquis Mad be Remained. if others did not declare !mini guilty. Mr. HumE understnal the documents in question were treed for with the view of criminating the Marquis in some shape it other. It was impossible to pmceed until the criminality WAS nsi'e clear before the Court; the anxiety of the 3larquis was of eneve great, to have all the insinuations against him cleared up, and when he applied for the papers reap etaing Guile, he could on br expeend to apply for what would criminate himself.

If he illr. ti a le s moved the production of a paper, he would deem it imlmortime another person to move upon these papers before hint. lie had l right to expect the gentleman would record before time Inn permanent opinion, and that lie would make a motion upon papers when produced; that if it met his judgment, aosi sass vannigeons, he may co-operate, and if adverse he may wrist that it should not be said of him he granted the remanent spite of documents, and that his mind was prejudknl. Mr. J. Smirk said it s-rated to be the argument of the Proyfe tor that it was imperative on him to cause a discussion on theatre' of Ilydmbad.
