In the evening a most elegant entertainment was provided by Brother Seller. The table, were set in the Lodge Room, where upwards of 40 Brethren sat down to dinner. In the course of the evening many loyal and appropriate Masonic Toasts were drank, and a number of cheerful cud excellent Songs sung in a style that called forth the universal applause of the Brethren, who all departed in true fellowship, at a seasonable hour, like good Masons, loyal subjects, and peaceable inhabitants (the true characteristics of Masonry), UP their respective homes. _ - - A tradesinsn, of the name of F---, of Cirenceter, who, by his inflammatory expressions awl demeanour, attempted to excite the soldiers quartered in *ft town, to mutiny and rebellion, has, by making a public ackuowledgment of his crime, both in the new.papers, sod by reading it himself at the bend of the regiment, escaped prosecation and the punishment of death.

COPY OF SIRS. COMM'S LETTER. Polperru, Cornwall, October 4, ISM " SIR—I take the linerty to lowlife on your tittle, emboldened by the iuterest you hire taken in the fate of my unfortunate son. I observe a copy of your letter to me, and also of my an swer to you, in the public papers, which has been the means of producing another offictal docu ment respecting the pretended existence of my unhappy child. Of course, you and the country will be now satisfied, that, from such informa tion, there can be no doubt of his existence. I have now no doubt myself but that some nine ha. been examined, as therein stated ; but I am per suaded that the Officers of our Goverument (who iu ibis transaction appear to have dune their duty) have h-en imposed on by that —. The story is plausible, and calculated to give weight to the tea tiinotiy. For myself, I believe it is collected from the evidence given on Lake's trial, and the subse quent examinations of my boy's shipmates, Zce. There is one thing that fircibly strikes me that it is a fisbrication—that is, the siqnature to the ajida. sit is a crass. This I wish ton to hear in your wind; and if you think proper to make my letter public, I have no objection ; that the country may judge whether the o ffi cial document be true er false. I have neither the means nor opportu nity of so doing.—.l4 sou could write, not mily kis name, hat a tolerable hand fur • Mbouriug month, and understood the first rudiments of arith metic, su#icient for hit employment, cad kept the daily journal of his work done in the shop. While there remains •doubt of his existence, why nit have got a letter for me from him ? Why not have pre*. sed him to do ;or to let me hear souse circum stance of his family or of his neighbours, something ever so trivial, not public ? Or tell me hose • letter might be conveyed to him, to convince me he real ly exists? Suppose that Nature for a moment could forget its functions, and my agonized feel ings were at rest, iuterest would still be a powerful monitor, soil say that it would be at cemary to prove his existence fur my teliporal good. My present husband put my poor boy's life on the premises we new inhabit, purchased the ground, on which lie built a dwelling-house and workshop, and holds his lease on the dropping of three lives—so dist when the other two drop, it would be necessary to prove the existence of my son, or render the lease to the Lord of the Manor. I beg your pardon for this long intrusion; and shall only add, that the signature convinces me the story is fabricated by and his emissaries, and attested by unprincipled hirelings, like himself. My only hope is, that those who from universal philanthropy have interested themselves in my un happy hay's behalf, and the nation's character, will yet prove hi , fate beyond a doubt.—l remain, Sir, our obliged bumble servant, (Signed) " Hoson COADC." From the foregoing letter it appears, that Mts. CORDS is of opinion that some person has been procured to personate her son.
