If a few evil-disposed persons flattered themselves with the hopes of pillage and disor der, they must renounce their criminal designs, and be assured that exemplary punishment will be the reward of any movement not authorised by the law. 4 6 I have respected, and shall respect the opi. talons of every individual, because I am of opinion that a liberal government ought to du so, whilst those,holding different sentiments on the merit of established laws do not, however, fail scruptf lously to observe them ; but I will not permit the fury of parties to stain with blood the streets of the capital of. this high-minded nation ; nQr 'shall the ambitious and perfidious designs of a few persons compromise the tranquillity of a town distinguished for its patriotism and, intelli gence.

Yesterday a highly respectable Meeting of the Society for assisting aged and diitressed Protestant Dissenting Ministers took place at 40.1iing's Head Tavern, Poultry, JAS. Otusox, Esq. in the Chair. The Reverend Mr. CLouT? (the Secretary) read the Re port, from which it appeared that the claims on the Charity had rather increased than diminished within the last year, and that the whole of the disposable funds had been appropriated t• that renewed exertions were necessary to be made, otherwise the Institution would not be able to relieve new applicants, without being driven to the painful necessity of reducing the -sums already granted to those on the list. It was suggested by some of the Members of the Society that an annual Sermon should be preached by the most Popular Preachers in the different districts, and of the differ ent persuasions, in aid of the 'Charity. It was also mention.: ed, that frequent collections for the Charity would be ad. visable. The first suggestion was very much approved, and finally embodied in a Resolution, which passed unanimously. The second was at once rejected, the Society being,.of opinion, that' it would be both impo litic and indelicate to press too'much on their congregations; who might begin to.thiok that dissent ing was rather too expensive. Thanks having been -voted to the Chairman, anti the Secre tary, the Meeting separated. NAPOLEON ON CAANIOLOGY.--GALL, and all who resemble him (said the Esn'peror), had a great attachment to materialism, which was calcu lated to strengthen their theory and influence. But nature is not so barren. Were she so clumsy as to make herself known by external forms, we would go to work more promptly, and acquire a greater degree of knowledge. Her secrets are more subtle, more delicate, more evanescent, and have hitherto escaped the most minute researches.— We find a great genius in a little hunch-back ; and a man with a fine commanding person turns out to be a stupid fellow. A big bead with a large brain is sometimes destitute of 'a single idea, while a small brain is , found to possess a vast understanding. And observe the imbecility of Gall : he attributes -to certain protuberances propensities and crimes which are not inherent in Nature, which arise frotn society and the con.. pact of mankind. What becomes of a protube ranee denoting dtkvery, where there is no pro. perty to steal ?—of that indicating drunkenness, where there are no fermented liquors ?—and of that characterising ambition where there is no sock/ compact ?=—(.lournal of Las Cases.) ~.

Mr. ITALIA)/ BANDIT.—[From the Notes of a Traveller in /tdgy.]—The following, is an aeixunt of an Italian bandit, who was shot in Italy by the order of General Church. " The most astonishing bandit, whose exploits somewhat resemble the celebrated ones or the famous Rinaldo Rinal dini, wits a priest, named Cyro Anichiarico, born in the small town of Grotagil, on the road from Tarento to Lecee. His first achievement was the murder of a whole family in the town of Trancavilla. He had, at the time of his death, been a bandit tiir more than twenty years; and, from' his daring and success, the country people believed him to be a devil or magician, and scoffed at the soldiers who were sent to pursue him. When the French General Ottavio, a CorsiCan by birth, commanded in this province, a man on e d a y p resente d himsel f before him, and said, with a fierce air, "I'liebandit whom you have so l ong hunted know before you, but if he is molested, you will be assas sinated before night-fall.' Anichiarico turned and disappeared, and from that time General Ottavio doubtless hail faith in the belief of the people, for the bandit was not taken until he was, pursued by a body of troops under Gen. Church. When this General was one day in pursuit of the banditti and their leader, he was accosted by a peasant, who drew him aside and gave him some intelligence concerning Anichiarico. On the very next day this peasant was found dead in his village, with a paper pinned on his breast with these terrible words inscribed.— This is the fate of all those • who. betray Anichiarice— The last band' which this leader commanded, was called . the .' decided .' each Man possessed a certificate, be ar i ng two death's he;tds, with bloody eroblems, and the great word s of ' Justice, liberty, or death, ' signed 4 Anichiarico.' I saw one of the certificates 'in General Church's possession, ' which was written with' human blood. At last, in Ja. nuary, 1810, this astonishing bandit, finding himself' be:. set on 'all • points by the soldiers under the command of the General, threw himself at about sunset, in an old tower, in the midst of a farm yard, near the small town of Casuba,hoping probably that in the dead of the night he should be able to escape through the soldiers, many of whom were his friends, and all of whom believed him to he the devil. But in the course of . one hour after, it was perceived that he had taken this position, acloseline of light troops was drawn round the tower by .ortlgi of the General, out of Tooth of musqUet.shet o anti after a siekeof 3f; bears, hewas forced .to surrender himself, and the remnant of his band having fired 'ayeity all their cartridges, and killed and wounded eleven of theenenly. Ile was carried to Trameuvilla, the scene of the first murder, and there shot. It was on a Sunday, when he was sentenced to be executed; and General Church sent to.ask the priests of the town, if it was according to their religion to shoot 4 map on that day. Their answer was—' the better the day the better deed.' Anichiarico died like a madman. Front eight to ten thousand persona actually treated with were assem bled to Ilee-l ti° l shot, find to the last moment they Perfect scorn the notion that bullets would pierce such a man." .

Much of that deservedly popular reputation which be possesses here he gained some years past by the judicious and elegant representation of this character. Since then public anxiety has been constantly alive to see its repetition. Mr. IVAILACK'S Hamlet is so chaste in conception, and so powerful in representation, that we see the rich beauties of the author and the full strength of the actor. We admire both, and unite them in the full measure of applause. His " imitations of several distinguished actors" are close and , faithful. Many of then, will be re. cognized here as th e ec h o of times gone by. Hi s Dick Dashall,in " Afs And," is an inimitable spe. cimen of comic acting, that has never failed, at home or abroad, to please, and to give him repute. tion.

EAIVES. This`ivas ; an action 4rOught by the above plain tiff, a master tailor, residing in London, against Messrs.. Eames, the proprietorsof the Portsmouth mail, for injuries which the plaintiff sustained, occasioned by the overturning of the mail, and of which ie was an outside passenger. Prom the evidence called on the part of the plaintiff; it ap. peered that when the mail was overturned, and plaintiff's leg was broken, the proprietors °tottered every care to be taken of the plaintiff, and even paid his bill 'for the surgeon's attend. ance, and also the expences at the Inn, - amounting to upwards of 160/. On the part of the defendant several witnesses were called, and among them the guard and coachman of the mail, these proved that on the night of the accident, the mail came up with the Nelson coach from Portsmouth, that the guard blew his horn, when the Nelson started and went on, they however slackened their pace, and the mail again came up, when oti the guard sounding his horn, the coachman of the Nelson broke the ground, allowing the mail to pass, in so doing the coach man of the Nelson flogged his horses, whereby his lash cached the eye of one of the leaders of the mail, and starting forward run on a bank, when the mail was overturned. It was also proved that the mail allowed 10 hours to perform the journey, and the Nelson 13. Witnesses also proved that the plaintiff' acknowledged the e. accident was occasioned by the coachman of the Nelson flogging his horses, and that no blame whatever was attributable to the coachman oe t the mall. The SotittTou-GErtEnAr., on the part of the plaintiff, considered such acknowledgnients might have been made at the time the plaintiff was suffering under great agony and' the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages .101. SPANISH' INDEPENDENCE. Yesterday a very numerous Meeting of the Committee for, aiding and assisting in the cause of Spanish in dependence took place fat the Crown and Anchor tavern. , Amongst those present we observed Lord Erskine, Gen. Fee gusson, Mr. Ilume, Mr. Ilobhouse, Sir James Macintosh, Mr. Grant, Colonel Davies, &c.—Mr. LAAIIITON was unanimously called to the chair. The object of the meeting was to take into consideration the appointment of a day for'calling a meeting of the public, with the view of subscribing for the assistance of the Spaniards in their struggles for liberty. The necessity of proceeding at once to put into erect this object was agreed to by every one of the Committee, many of whom spoke with confidence of the suc cess of the persecuted, provided Great Britain made, in this instance, her accustomed exertion in favour of those whose li. berties were attacked.. It was also suggested, that the sooner the assistance was given the better, and that every member of the committee should use his utmost influence with his 4riends in behalf of the Spanish people. The CHAIRMAN said, he conceived that the meeting 11;ould. be immediate, in order that the emergencies of the Spaniards might be met in such time as to render the subscriptions; which he had no doubt...would be abundant, available. The present condition of Spain required that whatever advantages she was to receive from the syaTatliles of the people of England should be presented to her without delay. Ile then alluded to a re cent communication from Sit Robert, Wilson, to pipve the existence of the necessity. It was then unanimously agreed to, that a public meeting should be called for Monday next, it the London Tavern, 'for the purpose of considering the propriety of entering into a subscription for the Spanish people, i n their effort for hid& pendence. . . In the course of the discussion on the question of appointing time and place, it was suggested that subscriptions in valeriel, as well as in money. should he taken, upon the ground that many individuals would . tind it much More convenient to samily the Spanish military with linen,Woollen; itc. than with mbhey: such times as these, It Was known, for instance, that at ifrir.;' niinghain it would ba less difficult to procure a subscription from a manuftictitrer of 2,000 stand of arms, than 2001. in cash. :gush an arrangement would, it was not doubted, produce a very,sub, stand:Ll subscription at all the manufacturing towns, and the Committee had already received a communication that the Man' cheater Union subscribes! to the cause to the amount of 1001. 4t Committee was appointed .to make all t t , riceessayy ar• rangements for the Meeting, and a very large subscription wits made in the room; after which they adjourned. • ' gni - rimier orr or lfax.-IPtirther partien- . lars.l—The brig Robert, of Whitehaion, 188 toniturden: Nathaniel Netham, sailed from Dublin tbr Liverpool,: early , on, Friday 'morning (16th inst.), having on board bletween - 30eancl • tIO passengers (including about twenty whmerVind 13 horses,'3o bullocks, and 00 pigs, &c.

In this predicament con siderable fears were entertained by the passengers far their safety, and they entreated the captain either to return to Dub lin, or put into the nearest port. It was impossible to com ply with the former request, but, the captain said he Would ,run into Whitehaven. At this time (about half-paaCeight) the vessel was under a heavy press of sail, and heating an the Manx . coast. Our informant says, the Captain was not aware of being near the land, for in reply to a question, he said there was no danger, as the vessel was between 20 and 30 miles from arty coast. A few minutes afterwards, the Captain and a Mr. Nixon, being in the cabin (the litter having lain down in the . captain's bed), the .vessel struck on the rock at bangles Point with a dreadful crash. The daptain and Mr. Nixon instantly rushed on deck, where- a scene of the most .horrifying description presented itself.

Those who succeeded in retaining their hold clambered from rock to rock, during the short interval that succeeded each wave, until they attained the land. Of the entire number not more than nineteen persons (including the Captain and crew), were saved—the. . remainder found a watery grave. One -woman was among : the number saved, but she was much injured, and not expected to survive. The Captain had a narrow escape,- anctwas much bruised.

" She proved to be the Zaragozana, of about 120 tons, an uncommonly fine vessel, in length 79 by 18, carrying one long 18-pounder on a swivel, 4 long 9-pounders, 8 swivels, well arm. ed, and every way prepared against boarding. Her deal were covered with bottles filled with combustible materials. She had a crew of from 70 to 90 men, chiefly l':uropenn Spaniards, com mand Odly 3ayatano A yogonez, who, with his crew, fought the vessel, with a skill, and, until the moment of panic, with a desperate courage, Worthy of a better cause.

At 1,5, p.m. the Greciancommenced action,. with: round and grape shot ; at 1, 43, the Greacian took the ground in two fathoma water, About half musket shot from the pirate, at which moment the latter blew up with a tremendous explosion. The Grecian's boat At this time beim; manned, for thepurpose of boarding, instantly p u t off t h e pirates taking to their boats for the shore, distant halt a cable's length, anti had but a few moments to form, when our boats reached, the spot; a desperate conflict here took place for of short - time, when the pirates flew in all directions, having about 33 Wad and wounded ; live prisoners were taken, two of whom have since died of their wounds. From the information of the prisoners on board, it appears that the schooner's name was l.aa Gata, of 90 tons, commanded by a person named Joseph Sabina, a noto -rious.pirate, with a complement of 90 men; she also had a felucca, with four carriage guns and twenty-seven stand alarms, and two other boats, with a mounted swivel in each, and 24 stand of musketry, all of which were in action - against us. The schooner had on board a valuable cargo of plan - der. all of which was by the explosion, destroyed, with the exception of five bales of indigo. This vessel had been for some time engaged in this work of death and plunder, her . crew having shared, for the last cruise, 3,000 dollars a man. She w as af forded every assistance from the shOre jam there were about 30 horses foundleady equipped to fAvour their . escape.) Th e loss of the Grecian is comparatively small, having only two men wounded ; but she was much damaged in 'her sails and rigging, and had several shot in her mast and bowsprit. The orchards and plantations h this neigh bourhood, were never known . to present greater prospects of a prolific fruit season than they dont present. There is scarcely any specks of fruit but what exhibits appearances of ari abundant crop; tilberds, cherries, apples, pears, and plums in particular, the blossom of these being set unusually thick and strong. As these fruits are among the principal pro ductions of the soil about here, and a plentiful crop adding much to thewealth and prosperity of all classes, we rejoice at the blessed prospects held out, a nd. fervently hope they will be rea. lized. 'the different sorts of corn also look re markably hcalthy and luxuriant, and appear likely to yield an abundant harvest.—( 3101 stone Jour nal, Mali 27, 181-23.) leswten, MA Y 9.33.—A few days since, aq some carpenters were employed in putting down a new fence in the church-yard at Earlsoham, in this county, they discovered a feWe silver cows about two-feet below the surface of the grond': they are now in the possession of the Rev.
