We were enabled a short time since. by our pri vete sources of information, to present to the public an account of the general conduct pursued by the Deitch Authorities in Batavia, and the islands of ifie l lsiition Archipelago. The account was neces sarily of considerable nuttiest in this country, and wasronsequently copied from The BRITISH Pease other Dsily Papers. The article was seen in Ike Times Newspaper by the Editors of the Joaried tie Belgique, who transcribed it, and undertook to answer it. They assert that they could deny the allegations contained in it, at least so far as they " contravene those principles of justice which form the belie of the Goveroment of the Netherlands;' and then argue, that, " 'opposing the Mitch were desirous of regaining their ancient prepoodersoce in the balance of Intlian commerce, thio would be no reason to impute. to them arbi trary and vexatious acts with respectito their ancient rivals." Although these remarks - ; pre addressed more directly to 71e Times, yet as the article thst caused them' originated with us, we feel jurseires required to take some notice of ilea With respect to the capability mateled by the Journal de la Belgique or contradicting oar state ments, to far as they contravene the general prin ciples of justice on which the Dutch Govenrsseut is disposed to act, we may observe. that the prin ciples and intentions of a Government are no assurer to the alleged misconduct of its of4cers in a distant part of the world. We entertain the . •liighest respect for the Government of the Ne therland', and certainly had ao intention of in culpating it, while we noticed the conduct of the Dutch Authorities in the East ludic*; but while! the particular facts we ad►anced remain uscontra. dieted, we shall not consider the good character or,. the Government at home as calculated to-conceal or justify the improper exercise of its authority in other parts of the world. The Journal de la Bel gique must be very simple, indeed, if it imagines that any persons in this country could consider the desire manifested by the Dutch to regain their an cient influence in the East, a reason for imput. ing to them sisbittory end vexatious measures towards the salqects of Great Britain. The desire of the Dutch is very natural, and speaks nothing more than a fair and honourable -rivalry ; but it should not he punned by means incon sistent with this fair character. The wets we im puted to them were distinct and specific, and there is no necessity of going nut of the way to inquire why the charge was advanced, when the evident rruson of it was nothing more than that such acts bad been committed.

The tragedy of Othello was fait Right performed—the Moor, "by ■ young ,Gentleetad;. his first appearance on any stage,' fo r so d ig: o444. cal balletic set forth—the gentle Desdemotolo by Mrs. Weer, late of the Bath theatre, her first sp. pearance on this stage. If we mistake not, we recollect, some five or six seasons back, vritacteing the debut of this lady-, then Miss Coots. at Corea* garden, in die • same character. She interested us much at that Mae•—•but, nu the present oce sion, her linlters being more matured, slid beeritik evident marks . of sedulous cultivati on . s h e exc it e d a still greater degree of interest. Mrs. WRIT'S figure is petire-but nest, well-turned, and elegant. Her features are very pretty ; precisely formed f o r the expression of mild affection—of meek tender nesse. Were her eyes darker-..did. they partake more of " the eagle's" than of it the dove's"—her countenance, intelligent as it is, might be the index of bolder, of more violent passions. But a sweet. ness, a good.nsture, beams in her light eye, UN t utter foe to fierce or angry feeling. The pert she selected for her debut is suited. beautifully suited, to her manner and appearance. Denteourea hos by those who did not study, or studying. did not understand, the character, been considered quite unworthy or 111111/ actress, possessing considerable talent. Mrs. Warr has ',hewn the utter fallacy of this idea. She has proved, not Viet greet talents ought to shun the character—but that, to raise it to the consequence which it should hold in the drama, talents, far removed from mediocrity. ought to be employed. Her performance was one continued series of excellence. We never recollect to hare Seen the tenderness of the character de. picted with more affecting truth. Our hearts felt Desdemono's joy, while yet the temper of the Moor war unshaken by the arts of 100.0--auld, when the storm of suspicion bore !weed; on her gentle mind. we sympathised in her aliction. • There is, in Mrs. Wen's manner, a winning soft ness, that rendered some of her scenes peculiarly uleasing. Of this number was her first interces.ion for Cestio. It was the suit of a mind, where love and innocence were the only inmates—from which every mean and base passion was excluded. 111 the fourth act, where Othello so vilely abuses Thule none. Mrs. WEST'S acting deserves the highest commendation. The horror and surprise with which she heard the accusation—the tretibling ye _ hemence with which she repelkd it-ipd the stupor which followed the departure of her so much al. tered Lord—were indicative of an intimate ac quaintance with the character—and had a moot powerful effect on the audience. The continuance of the stupor, after Othello had deputed, anti roused from it by Estilia—and the pathos which the exclamation, " I have no Lord was uttered. were also particularly noticed, as bsliiities 4 that could not emanate from a common mind. Her dying-scene—and the dying-scene of Dade stoma, from its situatill and circumstances, is, perhaps, the most difficult on the stage—was exceedingly well performed. Mrs. WEST was ho noured with the most heartfelt applause. The young Gentleman who appeared as Othello is tall, and slightly formed. Of his features we can say nothing—they were too much begrimes( to stif fer us to judge of their cast or proportions. His voice is deep, and not uospleasing—though, in the whirlwind of his passion," a sort of thickness was perceivable. which a little marred its force. if this really were his first appearance oo any stage, which we greatly doubt, he gave promise sufficient of arriving, in process of time, at a respectable rank in the profession—if, however, u we sus pect from his self-possession, he is not, though a stranger on these beards, new to the stage; we fear that his general habits are too deeply rooted, to afford any great chance of their eradication—and eradicated they must be, ere lie becomes an actor of any eminence. His action is 6' cribb'J, cabbited, and colifin'd"— his positions are ungraceful—and his mode of treading the stage, though it did not want confidence, certainly boasted not of elegance. These points might. however, be overlooked. if the ardent feeling. if the glowing mind, if the fiery soul of the Moor, had sometimes pressed forth, and irradiated the performaim, It was not so. Othello's words were recited --Mt there was no trace of the inform ing spirit. The young Gentleman was the most pas sionless Othello we remember to have sten in Lou don—and we certainly have seen some strange ex hibitions. He has apparently paid great attention to Mr. KEAN'S mode of sustaining the character, particularly with reference to that Geutleinan's by-play. We remarked, in those parts of the two great scenes with logo, *here Mr. KEAN succeeded in Making points, by looks and ges tures. indicative of the torture which ligo's words inflicted on him. that the debuseat made au attempt of the same kind, but by no means s4l for tunate. The young Gentleman's best scene was that in which Othello, wrought on by lego's state ment that he had seen his wife's handkerchief in the hands of Cassie, is consinted of her faithlessness. There was here a nearer approxi snation to natural passion. than in any other part of his performance. In the two principal *cents with Deadening—where he demands the handkerchief and where he accuses her of inconti• nence—there was a great deal of noise, but there was nothing like tree passio►►. But whatever our opinion of this Gentleman's merits or demerits may be, it is fitting we should state, that he was applauded u to the very echo that did applaud again." Nay, on the coming forward of Mr. ilia- XARD to announce the play for Saturday evening, some dose') voices called out for a repetition of (Ithelle—but that was rather too much ; and, after an ineffectual struggle. they were obliged to desist. Mr. BRXGOWiIIi played the character of logo a great deist better than we expected. lint mode of marking his exit, which, we suppose, is intended as an improvement on that of Mr. KRAX, struck however, as being greatly overstrained. The meaning of the dreadful sigh with which he departs, ponied us very much. Mr. Pik IA? sod Mr. lIOLLAXD, as Roderigo and (eerie, supported those 3 .eheraelers inesitoriouels.

That se lection fur trial, according to the scale of of.: fence of the party, was ilecessery, lie wits fie from denying ; and that so far front its being. censurable to allow individuals (is some hut insinuated) Id plead to the minor offence, he thought it, when rightly exercised, a most necessity and humane privilege. He also was aware. that from the general poverty of the individuals Who. were im posed upon by the circitletrott of forged tiotee, it in many cases was alsoolutely, neces s ary that remuneration should be Viten rir detection and that when given with caution an,i circumspec tion, such remuneration bore no affinity to flint sort of reward expressively termed be the public Blond.money. But what he desired to• know, iu ansWer to his questions respecting tlit'Or two inontsi was, whether the power of settling in the one case the selection, amid in the other the mode and amount of remuneration for detection, was delegated to ally single intlivitloul. or woo exercised' by IC Coot ittce or set of Gentlemen jllllollt the .Directofs ?-- ( Haw ' , Ara r.) Tile Cli INN AN replied, that the power alluded to by the Hon. Gentleman wa• always exerei.ed, as had been explained in the Howe of Commons, by a l'ominittee, or aet of Gentlemen appointed to consider the cases of prosecution at the suit of the Bank.—( I her, hear.) The Chairman said nothing respecting the Coma mission to inquire into the pteveutiop of forgery. Mr. RANDALL .

Ile then proceeded to state, that much misinformation prevailiel respecting a po litical question, connected Wilh ite. affairs of the Bank. It had been brcisdriih'ui its he thought most erroneonsl3l stated, • that the:great increase of forgeries of late years, hub anden • from dip wide circulation of Dank note, iii the absence of a me• tallie currency..-and that the Mink was &nine respects answerable for this augmentation of crime. This he was prepared fully to deny—the increase of the crime of forgery had only kept pace with the augmentation of other offences, which a more neral deinOrulitation had occasioned. The Hank f l .,it no control over . khe Police ti and the correction of geneial crime specially lay with the Police, anal he earnettly hoped that this launch of political science would receive the attention and co-operation of able men, who would esteem it ill honourable office to act in this department i f the public seivice. Until this period came, lie 1;p -prehended that tio considerable decrease of crime Would hate place.
