Metalliques - - - 84 7-16 Hank Shares - - 953 If 3 (From the American Papers.) PERIL —Accounts from near Lima, dated Aug. 6, confirm the intelligence which we some time ago published, that San Martin and Bolivar had a conference at Guayaquil, in July lust, after which the latter proceeded to Callao. A distur bance is said to have taken place in Lima on July 28, headed by the Marquis of Torre Tagle and the Carriones. The Minister of State, Monte Agudo, was arrested for endavouring to procure signa tures to support either his own coronation or that of San Martin. They accuse him of em bezzling two millions of dollars, and it is said he has declared Peru a confederate Republic of Colombia. This great occurrence was pre ceded by the conflagration of the palace, and all the munitions of war, revenue and state, with only a few exceptions of the lat ter, were consumed. The people, it is added, were much dissatisfied with the conduct of their', chiefs, who, from the desire of amassing money, had not concluded the war, nor pacified the country. The elections for the deputies were going forward, and if useful and popular men were chosen, a great deal of good was expected to be the result. Captain SPENCE, Commander of the United States ship Csane, in a letter to the Secretary of the Navy, dated Sept. 5, 1829., Porto Rico, says— " Since my letter of the 311 inst., transmitting my correspond.. ence, I have had a conversation with the Governor, who begs me to be assured, that all he can do, shall be done to meet my wishes, in relation to the privateers fitted out in the Island ; that those already out, were equipped before he assumed the -{,Tvernment, that he is opposed to it, both in his private and public capacity ; that future restraints shall be placed upon them, and that he will remedy all abuses, as far as he has the -power." The Reading Association for procuring Purity of Election, celebrated its anniversary by a din nkr at the Crown Inn, Reading, on Thursday last. The company consisted of between fifty and sixty gentlemen, and was highly respectable Amongst those present, were JAMES WHE BLE , Esq. (in the Chair;) 'F. Goonr„tKE, Esq. ; F. PALMER, Esq. and J. 13. MONCK, Esq. (the Members for the Borough;) J. C. HonitousE, Esq.; J. GREEN, Esq. ; F. CRAVEN, Esq. ; MARSH, Esq.; C. JIALL, Esq. ; and -- Runty, Mt Esq. After dinner, and after " the King," and 0 the various branches of the 'Royal Family had been drank, the Secretary read the Constitution of the Association,and the Company wassuccessively ad. dressed by the Chairman, and by Messrs. PAL, mER, MoNcK, and HottnousE. The speeches of these Gentlemen were generally temperate in their tone. Mr. F. PALMER announced that an Association similar to that of Reading, bad been formed in Somersetshire. r The Earl of LIVERPOOL had a long interview t o with Mr: CANNING at the Foreign Office yes. terday. it Yesterday,the PausstAN MINISTER transacted IC business at the Foreign Office.

The damage that has been sus tained is incalculable, and the loss of life almost 0 unparalleled, even in such calamities. One of the most frightful and sweeping scenes of misery ; r- had succeeded ; the ho rrors o f which were aggravat e d by t he state of insecurity to which the '4 , poor su ff erers were reduced by the continuance of the shocks. . 1 .

SUN-OFFICE, 20:Minutes past Onc We have this moment received Paris Papers of Wednesday, which furnish accounts from Madrid to the 7th instant, of the same date as those we communicated on Thursday. At that period Madrid is again represented as perfectly tranquil, and the only other infor mation these arrivals bring, which has not been anticipated, is the nomination by the KING of several individuals to various offices in his, Royal Household, who are well known for their 4itachinent to the present Constitution of Spain, by which it would seem as if the, KING had resolved on giving a public demon stration of his adhesion to the Constitutional System. The complaint of the Spanish Ambassador at the Court of the Tuileries, against M.M. Ouv- RA !ID and ROUGEMONT DI: LOWENDLIIG, the con. tractors of the loan with the Regency of Urge!, came on for hearing on Tuesday last, and after the preliminary forms had been gone through, the Court adjourned for a fortnight in consequence of the lateness of the hour. It was reported at Odessa on the 21st of Dec. that on the 25th of Sept. Count de NESSELRODE had delivered to the Congress a Circular Note on the affairs of the East, in which the Russian Cabinet insists upon all its former demands.— Copies of this Note are said to be circulating a Petersburgh. We gave some time ago an account ofa landing on Porto Rico by a party of Bucaniers, together with a proclamation, issued at the time when, having but just set foot on an obscure corner of the island, they impudently constituted it a re public.' The result of the enterprise, which we learn by letters of the 20th of November from Havannah, is such as might have been expected. La Torre, the Governor of the island, • who had early and secret intelligence of their proceedings, marched down one morning to the spot they occu pied, and with a force of only 100 men, sue ceeded in capturing the whole party. It appears that they had some partisans in the interior of the island, but who bad been detected through the vigilance of the Governor, and the whole were to be brought to trial. A Frenchman of the name of Du Bois had been executed.—(rimes.) COUNT MUNSTER.—It is with much satisfac tion we announce to the public that this Noble man is in a fair way of recovery from a recent severe accident which had nearly proved fittal.— As his Excellency was stepping into his carriage from his own door in Grosvenor-place, and giving orders to be driven to Baron BESK, in Sloane street, he missed his footing and fell heavily down before any servant could possibly render him assistance ; the consequence was the rup ture of a blood vessel, which evacuated itself profusely through his ears, nose, and mouth.— lie was immediately conveyed into the 'house, and a servant was forthwith dispatched for Mr. PAIsLOW, of Eaton-street, who soon attended, and applied such remedies as the nature of the case peremptorily demanded. The alarm, now spread among the household, quickly reached the Countess, who, terrified and distracted, sent for additional medical assistance ; the copious flow of blood being checked in a great measure, hopes were entertained he might do well ; he was put to bed in a weak languid state, and for some days continued in a fluctuating condition. At length be was pronounced out of danger.-- During the interval the amiable Countess was unremitting in her care and attentions; and we are happy to say her Ladyship is now fully gra tified by his Excellency's returning health and spirits. A commercial traveller, who regularly thrice a year proceeds from London northward through the great manufacturing districts to Glasgow and Paisley, and thence down south-westward through Liverpool, Gloucester, Bristol, and Somerset shire, to Exeter and Plymouth, has. just com pleted his tour for the third time this year; and he states, that he never knew the manufacturing towns more fully and more generally employed than at this, moment.—(Caledonian Mercury.) DOVER, JAN. 16.—Inquests were held to-day, before JORN JEKEN, Esq., Mayor and Coroner for this town, on the bodies .of William Cullum, late deputed mariner of the Badger revenue cutter, and on thr'ee persons, whose names are unknown, forming part of the late crew of the Three Brothers cutter, brought into this harbour by the Badger, who were killed in the action be tween the two vessels (as mentioned in TUE SUN of, the 16th) ; • and after an investigation of five hours, the Jury returned a Verdict of = " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown," in the case of Cullum ; and a Verdict of—" Justi fiable homicide," in the case of the three men. In the course of the evidence, it appeared, that after the smuggler had called to the revenue officers for quarter, which was granted, that the' former fired into the. Badger, by which the de ceased, William Cullum, was killed. THE SERPENTINE RIVER.—The heavy fall of snow on Tuesday night, prevented the opera tions of the Skaiters on the subsequent day ; but on Thursday they were partially resumed, and yesterday many 'tracks and circles were cleared. A slight thaw from the effects of a westerly wind, melted the snow around the banks of the river, and made the access of the firmer ice very disa greeable, for the water stood in pools intersecting the way. The snow when formed into hillocks, presimted a singular appearance, being ice bergs in miniature. About three o'clock yesterday there were a few good Skaiters ; but the major part were very indifferent, Many Of the water men broke up their stantio at an early hour from the want of custom, FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

FESTIVITIES AT TREDEGAR...—During the Christmas fortnight, Tredegar, the mansion of Sir Charles Morgan, Bart. was opened, as usual, to a numerous party of his friends and relatives. On Twelfth Day the annual races took place, when a silver cup was given by Sir CHARLES, to be run for by the horses belonging to the Gentlemen resident in the house, which was won by the Rev..l. Cole's horse. There were several other races afterwards, which afforded much sport. In the evening all the neighbourhood were invited to dinner, and an elegant ball and supper concluded the festivities.—Nothing could ex ceed the hospitality and kind attention of the Baronet and his daughter to their guests: The Glamorganshire Militia Band was in attendance, and the dancing was kept up with much spirit every evening d ur i ng t h e f ortnig h t . , BALI. AT ILsTruELD-HousE.—A very elegant Ball was given last week at Hatiield.house, by the Marchioness of SALISBURY, in the great Saloon, to whi c h were invited the juvenile branches of all the neighbouring families. All came. The (lancing commenced at 9 o'clock, and ended at three. An excellent supper was given, in her Ladyship's usually munifi cent style. The son of the Nobly Hostess, Lord CItANDORNE, acted as Master of the Ceremonies. The band of music went from town. The arrangem ents o f the Banquet were by th e Maitre d'llotel. It was a charming treat. COVENT GARDEN 'THEATRE.---W D cannot help thinking with much wiser then, Archbishop IlEitaisc, Sir JOHN FIELDING, and others, that the representation of The fleggars' Opera is in jurious to public morals. It gives an air 'of gaiety to vice, and the manner in which robbery is de fended at the meeting of the gang, is calculated to seduce, by a kind of popular sophistry that may mislead many an unreflecting mind. W e can state one striking fact from our own know. ledge. When II ucn kELLY, the late dramatic and political writer, expressed his doubts of the mis chievous tendency of the piece to Sir JOHN, who had remonstrated with the theatrical Mana gers against the performance, the latter de sired him to call at the office' on any Monday after it had been represented l the preceding week. Mr. KELLY atttnded and inspected the calendar, by which it appeared - that there was a considerable- increase of offences in every week, compared with thqse when the perform . ance had not taken place. .But besides this immoral tendency, the wit of the piece is now become obsolete, and the dialogue altogether is vulgar, and in many parts offensive, and. all the characters are profligate, except that of NUN. After these observations it is only necessary for us to add, that Miss PAToN came for ward last night in good health, and highly gra tified the audience in the songs of Poky, and tnat,, BA RTLEY and BLANcnAnn diverted the audience, at least the galleries, with their mutual reproaches and ridiculous scuffle. CHARLES KEMBLE evinced his usual good taste by consenting to perfoim the very humble and unobtrusive character of Cromwellin ilenry VIII. Ile has thus set an example most worthy of imi tation, and which we hope will have its effect with the profession generally. We have always endea voured to support the dignity of the Drama in its various departments; but at the same time we have also been ever of opinion that the public are entitled to receive the whole pleasurable advan tage each Theatre can command in the same play, and where salaries are given to actors, unexampled in their amount, at any other period, performers are bound to lend all their , aid and assistance, and to waive extreme punctilio, to enable the Mana gers to reimburse themselves for the large and liberal expenditure which the improved state of society, and the perpetual craving in the public appetite for novelty, oblige them to incur.— (Morning Chronicle.) The Lady who made her debut at Covent garden on Wednesday evening as Queen K.atlie rine, is, we understand a Mrs. OGILIIY, the, wife of a Merchant at Liverpool, and was once in af fluent circumstances. It is some two or three years, at least, since she first engaged in the ar duous profession of the stage at one of the Pro vincial Theatres. Mrs. OUILSY afterwards be came a member of Mr. DowToN's Company at Margate, and from the success which here exer tions met with there, was induced to prepare herself for the London boards. We believe it is above twelve months since she commenced this laborious discipline, which in the interim she has submitted to with much patient zeal, and, as it appears, not without a commensurate success. At first, Mrs. OGILBY received instructions from Mr. YOUNG, but of late it is said that she has been exclusively indebted to Mr. C. KLIALBLE for pro fessional advice.—(lbid.) When first the art of Printing Was discovered, one side only of a page was made use of—the expedient of impressing the other was not yet found out. Specimens of these early printed books are in his MAJESTY'S and Lord SPENCER'S Libraries. Afterwards they thought of pasting the blank sides, which made them appear like one leaf. It is singular that the Rotnans, who had stereotypes, or printing immoveable types, with which they stamped their pottery, should have failed to apply the invention to their literary worlcs, , •-• 1 .; ;:', _we t. , aik -74( 1 gii :, ;:i k I' :' r "!.

Growl, critics of England, growl on ye hir'd hounds Of a pitiful Courii.ut America's name ; For as long as that name through your vassal air sounds, It must crimson your cheeks with the blushes of shame.

Scribble on—let your England to ages expose Her impotence, ignorance, malice, and fear, 'Till the spirit that prompts her assassin-like blows Be in Europe despis'd, as it long has been here. And wear on your foreheads the brand you have sought, Prove that your's is the home of the coward and knave, Where honour and conscience are sold and are bought, And that " Briton" is now but the name for "a slave." And think nut there's one in our country so base As to hope to quench ever the flame of your ire; No, no—let it burn till the last of your race, 'And the w•ar fires you've kindled, in torture expire.

ABERNETHY'S MATCH.— The extraordinary match to do 124iniles, namely, from St. Giles's Church to the 60th mile stone on the North road, and 'to return again, in'3o hours, is an undcrtakingnever before attempted by any pedestrian. The 100 miles in. 24 hours has rarely been done, leaving out the ad. ditional 24 miles in six hours, But Mr. Abernethy, who is an amateur pedestrian of 2tl, had done more at long distances in less time than any pedestrian of late days, rather for trials of strength than for money. NVe left him yesterday at 42 miles, which he accomplished in 9 hours, and he laid down on a straw palliasse; he arrived at the 60th mile-stone in fourteen hours, (8 o'clock in the evening), and returned to Iliggleswade, fifteen miles, where he halted again, an d went to b ed, his feet were tired lvm the partial thaw and consequent heavy roads on the low grounds. He started again at 11 on Thursday night, to do the remaining 47 miles; the mail to London (the Glasgow) passed him about the thirtieth milestone before three o'clock, going at a slow rate. His friends were waiting his arrival at Barnet, and also in London, but at half-past nine news arrived at Barnet that he could only proceed a short distance through Hatfield, and being more than thre e h ours b e hi n d hi s t i me h e relinquished the task.—lt is supposed that he could have accorn- 1 plished the match in a favourable season of the year. lie tra velled as privately as possible and wore a great coat over his flannels through the towns. he match was for ten guineas, but money was betted at 2 to 1 on :time. Just before the Court of Chancery rose yester. day, an application to the Lone CHANCELLOR was made by Mr. 'UHT, ex-parte to restrain the Contractors for the Colombian Loan from paying certain monies in their hands. It was understood that the bill on which the application was founded, being drawn in too general terms, is to be amended. BEER AND Porvrast.--The Egyptians have the credit of being the first inventors of beer ;they called ►t the Pelusiuni liquor, because it was first made at Pelusiutn, a city near the mouth of the Nile, about 1200 years before the Christian era. The porter, for which Loudon has become so distinguished, was first introduced about the year 1730: Previous to that time, the malt liquors in general use were, ale, beer, and twopenny ; it was then customary to call for a pint of half-and• half*, that is, half beer and half twopenny; or else a pint or tankard of three threads, mean. ing a third of ale, beer, and twopenny.-- Then the publican was obliged to draw from three . casks to serve one customer. To avoid this trouble and waste, a. brewer, whose name was Harwood, conceived the idea of making a liquor, which should partake of the united flavours of ale, beer, and twopenny ; this he called entire, or entire butt beer, meaning that ►t was drawn entirely from one cask or butt. It was soon discovered to be a very boarty nourishing liquor,. suitable to porters and other working people, whence it obtained the name of porter. MUCANTILE SHIPPING.

The Lloyd, Duren, for Jersey, was wrecked near Whitby on lA r ednesday--crew saved. The Lion, Huline, and the Acorn, Herman, of Wells, both coal laden, were driven on shore near Whitby on Thursday, but are expected to be got off—crew saved by the life-boat. MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY. WO RSH I P-STR EET.—Yesterday the Magistrates SAMUEL TwYroen and Joust MILWARD, Esqrs. were oc cupied in the investigation of an extensive robbery, which took place the night before in the dwelling-house of Lewis Pedro, Esq. a rich Spanish merchant, No. 12, Artillery-place, Pins bury-sq uare. • • Information having been given at this Office between eight and nine o'clock in the morning, Mr. Garton, the Chief Con stable, with other officers, examined the premises, and all the servants afterwards attended to be examined as to facts which had come to their knowledge. From their account it appeared, that on going down stairs about eight o'clock in the morning, the cook discovered chat the doors were all open from the kit_ chen to the area, and after lighting the fire, she found that the shutters of one of the kitchen windows were open, and ap peared to have been cut, that a wooden bar in the inside was broken, and an iron bar was down, She remembered putting up the wooden bar, and also the iron bar, the night before, but she was not sure that she put down the stop of the iron bar..... She recollected that the catch was not made fast on the sash of the window. Presently the footman was informed, and on his coming down ►tairs it was discovered that the pantry door and a closet-door, had been forced, and the door of a strong iron chest was open, out of which had been taken 2,0001. worth of silver plate. Armstrong,• and other officers, had, however, minutely exit mined the supposed entrance by the window, and they were de cidedly of opinion that no one had forced his way from without, but that the iron bar must have been lit down by some one within, They had the bar replaced, and tried themselves, and even if it had been up without the atop at the end, they could not force it without great violence and noise, and causing the bar to be bent, whereas they found the bar straight, and with out the appearance of violence. There was another extraordi nary incident, that the closet-door, where the chest of plate was. kept, was forced, though the lock was a poor common one; but the iron chest itself, which was so very rrrong, and had a lock, that out of five hundred picklock-keys, it might, according to Garton's opinion, be impossible to find one to open it, was found open, without the smallest appearance of violence. The footman further stated, that the plate was last used on Twelfth-day, and he put it in the chest on the 10th inst.; and that he took care of the keys of the closet and the chest, which in the day time he hung upon a nail at the far end of the pantry, and at night he put them in his pocket, where he had them on the night of the robbery. It appeared also, that the house is situated next dom to Mr. Millward, one of the Worthy Magistrates, and is about thirty yards from the watchman's box. After a very long and attentive examination, the Magistrates observe.d,that there were some circumstances of a suspicious pa wns as to how the burglary had been committed; but with respect to the servants, they could have no objection to their rooms and boxes being searched which would probably establish their inno cence ; and Mr. Garton was directed to accompany them and make search accordingly, and report the result of it to the Magistrates. In the meantime a search warrant was granted avainst a noted Jew in Spitalfields, which was executed by several officers, who searched the whole house, where they found plate and property worth 5001. but not any of Mr. Pedro's place, though they found everything requisite for plate being immediately melted. ,IMERICK, JAN. B.—On Saturday night, Cap- Ain Dumas, with a detachment of the county constables, from Hospital, pursued a party of ruffians who had seized a young woman, and were taking her off, in order to force her to marry one of their associates. He recovered the girl, and secured two of the party, the rest having fled 'on his approach. Two of the officers of Bow -street have been down to Birmingham to search the house of the late guard of the coach, who was intrusted with the parcel of bank notes lately stolen, but did not make any discovery of consequence.
