The Lords of the Admiralty being desirous to promote the new arrangements of the General Post-office, which have been for a long time in contemplatien by that indefatigable gentleman Sir Francis Freeling, to open a direct communi cation between Great Britain and her Indian possessions, by way of the Mediterranean, the Isthmus of Suez, and the Red Sea, have given orders for the immediate construction of six fine steam-vessels, which are to be built on an entirely new principle from those employed at present as His Ma is:tsty's packets, so that they may either act as steam vess,:.!s, or in case of necessity as regular sailing vessels without .nterruption to the machinery. These ships when completed :;ill be employed for the conveyance of the mails and passenger; from Falmouth to Cadiz, Gibraltar, Malta, Corfu, Zante, Ce i :balonia, and the various Greeks islands, to Alexandria, in Eg,"` 7 l3t, where arrangements are making with the Pasha, and the other authorities, to establish an open and direct communicatit;:. , with the Isthmus -of Suez overland, and that commercial por, so as to render the voyage from this country to India not ioizer than 12 or 1.5 weeks at the most, avoiding by that means the disagreeable route of the Cape of Good Hope, and the contra;;' winds which are so prevalent in the Indian Sea. The Hon. East India . Company, anxious to encourage so grand an undertaking, of such importance to the commerce of this country and that of India, as a speedy and certain communication between the two empires, have decided upon the immediate construction of four large steam vessels, at their own expense, which will run between Calcutta, Ma dras, Bengal, and Suez, wh ere th e y w ill t a k e on b oar d the mails and passengers from England, arriving by way of Alexandria in Egypt. This new arrangement will com mence with the Mediterranean mail of the 2d of March next, and the mails will, after that period, be made up in London on the Ist day of every month, unless that should fall on a Sunday, then on the following day, and forwarded from Falmouth to Malta direct, where branch steam packets will convey them to Egypt and India. The passage-money, according to the new regulations of the Board of Admiralty, is as follows : Cabin. Steerage. From Falmouth to Cadiz or Gibraltar £l7 £9 10 From Ditto to Malta From Ditto to Corfu To or from Gibralta and Malta To or from Gibraltar and Corfu 22 To or from Malta and Patras . ,8 To or from Malta - and Corfu (via Patras) ... 10 From Corfu to Malta direct • To or from Malta and Alexandria From Corfu to Falmouth From Malta to Fahnouth From`Gibraltar or Cadiz to Falmouth l 7 Each passenger allowed to carry any weight of linen, wearing apparel, and books, not exceeding 4001 b. The passage-money to be paid, so as to realize the ster ling amount in England. Until the vessels now ordered to be built are ready, arrangements have been made so that the mails and passen gers arriving at Alexandria will experier.ce no delay in being forwarded to India by land. This grand project of opening a communication between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, by way of the Isthmus of Suez, was one of the great ideas of the late Emperor Napoi•on, who intended to have had a navigable canal cut froM one port to the other, but in consequence of his con tinual wars aid the large maritime force and influence of Great Britain ii the Levant, his ambitious views to take possession of India and destroy our commercial intercourse with that vast and rich empire were completely frustrated.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATTJR T)A 1/, FEBRUARY 14, 1835. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE SURREY THEATRE. INDIA BOARD, FEB. 9. His Majesty-has been 'graciously pleased to permit the Officers of the late maritime service of the East India Company to attend his Majesty's Levees in their accustomed uniforms, and to bear the same nominal rank as heretofore. Last - night a new tragedy, in five acts, called the Avenger, was prciduced at this theatre,, and received throughout by a crowded house with every mark of approbation. The plot and incidents are founded upon the desolation occasioned by the wars between Catholics and Lutherans (Protestants) in Germany, about 1632. Wallenstein, Duke of Friedland (Maitland), one of the greatest Generals of his age, led the Imperial troops through all the horrors of a religious war. In their zeal to re-establish ecclesiastical property they committed the most dreadful excesses. The castle of Welder (Butler) having been attacked and destroyed, he becomes the avenger of his own wrongs and those of his suffering fellow Protes tants. Secluded in the woods and forests, he encounters and kills all the Austrians in his way. His prowess is so great that none can withstand him. Deprived of reason, and a wanderer, he is looked upon as a supernatural or evil spirit, and conse quently the dread of all but the members of the Reformed Church, in whose cause he fights. The language is good, and the emotions of vengeance well described. Butler in some instances was extravagant in his declamation ; but upon the whole the part was ably sustained. Miss Williams, from the Norwich Theatre, made her first appearance on this stage. She is a talented actress, and supported the part of Agnes with good effect. In person she is en bon point, but interest-, ing and genteel in her acting. Miss Watson, in Editha, had little to do, but it was done well. The curtain fell amidst a general burst of applause, which continued until Butler made his appearance, bowed, and retired. WAR-OFFICE, FEB. 13. Ist Regiment of Dragoons— Lieut. F.

FIVE FARM HOUSES LEVELLED.—On Friday night five farm-houses, substantially built of stone, and of con siderable value, on the lands of Camheen, parish of relongret, in the south liberties of Limerick, the property of Henry Compton, Esq., were totally levelled to the ground by an armed mob of upwards of 50 men. During and after the work of destruction, upwards of 100 shots were fired by these lawless miscreants. Mr. Compton had the character of a humane, considerate landlord, and took the payment of the tithes on himself this year, and the havoc is supposed to have been made by persons who were Ida tenants, and owed him a year's rent and arrears.—Linierich Times. INCENDIARY FIRES.—At the annual meeting of the Directors of the County Fire-office on Thursday, Mr. Barker Beaumont, the managing director, stated that 4ring the last year there - had been 'an increase in receipts of between 2,000/. and 3,000/. on premiums of insurance, but that the losses by fire had been larger than heretofore; these were to be attributed to incendiary fires. If, however, the loss had increased by means of incendiary fires, it had diminished in other matters, and the losses through fraudulent fires were lower than formerly: - was happy to be able to state that there would be no diminutieri in the dividend - of 25 •per cent., which had been paid on all fermer occasions. Mr. Beaumont said it was ft 914figH4 kat ) that Several distriPts vilme an incendiary had been convicted and capitally punished the fires ceased, but where no one had been apprehended the burnings continued. Tile total loss to the establishment by fires of this description in the past year was between 7,000/. and 8,000/. HOBART TOWN. E \tract from a Letter, dated Hobart Town, Van Diemen's Land, Sept. 26, 1834 : " The Strathfieldsaye, with female emigrants, arrived here on the 13th ult., in 104 days, from Gravesend. All the pas sengers landed in good health and spirits ' only one death occurred on the voyage—a child, named Mosely. By the end of the first week, 150 were in situations, and there is not now one individual without occupation, and that too under favourable circumstances ; the average wages being 121. per annum. There are two who are engaged at the theat re h ere , rece i v i ng 751. each ; one 40/. as housekeeper to Mrs. Arthur (the governor's lady); and a few at schools, &c., receiving 30/. a year; so that they have no cause to regret having emigrated on this score, nor do I find that any have expressed this feeling; but, on the contrary, great satisfaction. I must, too, mention, that the colonists are much pleased with this system of emigra tion ; speaking of it as highly advantageous to themselves, and likely to advance the , interests and welfare of the young women." • SHIPPING-(THIS DAY).

IiPFP4P AND AFTER DINNER. Look at the same man before and after swallowing a good dinner. In the first case (if hungry),, he is cross; peevish, irritable, snarls at every body and everything, puts questions and gives an swers in the most captious tones, and is ready to knock any one down that says him nay on any one p o i nt . B ut as his m stoaPil bonomes oiled with the good things of life, his eye beams the storm c l ears f rom hi s b row, and the black clouds give gradual place to calm sunshine in his countenance. His face is the index of his mind ; his wit sharpens ; he is the idol of conversation and mirth ; his soul expands in generosity to all mankind ; his purse and his sympathies are open to them ; and, as he finishes his meal, he is pleased with himself and the whole human race. Lord Bacon very beautifully calls the stomach the " father of the family." .Kilyour's Lectures. SPOil TING INTELLIGENCE CHESTER RACES. CHESTER TRADE CUP, P.

The Lion, Captain Punchard, having hitherto been consi dered the fastest ship out of the port of Yarmouth, a brig was built, and named the Vivid, commanded by Matthew Butcher jun., launched in September last, and was matched againk the Lion, both vessels for Venice. The Lion sailei on the 2d of December, at 3 P.m., and the Vivid on. t i ne 3d of the same month, at 6 P. M. ; since which period letters have been re ceived from Venice, stating that the Vivid passed the Gut of Gibraltar on the 22d December, and arrived at Venice on the 17th ult. The Lion passed the Gut on the 29th December, and arrived at Venice on the 24th ult. The Vivid is, of course, now considered the fastest vessel out of the port of Yarmouth, and too much credit cannot be given Captain M. Butcher, jun., for his exertions in beating the Lion.

GREAT SA LE OF H ORSES AT , THE' FINSBURY REPOSITORY.—Yesterday, the se Tond day's sale of the great catalogue took place at I‘ , l :ir. Alexander's Repository. The company was by in - - means so great, consequently there was more comfy-' spy for the looke rs - on ; b ut circumstances were l•- ..en of, such as opposition sales, and business at Smithfield, which were sufficient to satisfy that Friday, as well as being an unlucky day by the law of speculation, is an inconvenient day by experience. The trade of course are as well acquainted with the intricacies of the profession as Mr. Alexander, and they kept tolerably quiet yesterday ; so that the competition was but dull at commencement, yet the purchasers were tempted. There were a few horses sold under 201., and a few sold at nearly 801, but the average, we believe, of prices may be quoted at 30 guineas. The best horses were, we were informed, reserved for the finish on the next day of sale ; much stress was laid upon it by the buyers, in the assurance that good, or the best horses, would be reserved till the last. SEDUCTION.—At the Limerick Police-office, on Monday, an unfortunate-looking female, who gave her name Fossett, was charged with being disorderly in the streets, in the neighbourhood of the New Barracks, the previous morn ing. On being questioned, she stated that she was the daughter of an Adjutant in the Scots Greys—that she had been seduced by one of the 18th Regiment, from Monsterevan, and that he then deserted her, upon which account she was induced, through want and cold, to appeal to some of the men for pecuniary assistance. The Chief Magistrate said that if she happened to be so unfortunate, he would now let her off, by promising that she would go home. The abandoned creature said she would leave the town- at once, especially as she had obtained some little covering. —Limerick Star. We have received a letter from the barony of- Kil main, from a most respectable gentleman, in which he com plains of the manner in which his name has been made use of for the last two Sundays in a chapel in that district by certain priests who made themselves notorious by their exertions, cross-examination of freeholders, and constant attendance in the booths during the election. " These, with an unparalleled contempt for all law, have directed their flocks neither to take land from him, nor hold that communication with him which with neighbours is usual, and recommended them, should they happen to meet with him on the road, not to speak to 114 - e, kit turn aside, and p ass hi m b y unnot iced."-,Mar. Constitution, 1 AFFAIR OF HONOUR IN LISBON. LISBON, FEB. 6.—The letter of Colonel Shaw, of the Scotch Fusilleers, respecting his disputes with Sir John Milley Doyle, had not only widened the breach between the parties, but given rise to a new scene. On the evening of that day Captain Bentinck Doyle, of the Irish Grenadiers, a nephew of Sir John, went to the new tavern, or Caza de Pasto, on the Caes de Sodre, where Colonel Shaw was dining with other officers, and asked hint if he was the author of the letter in the Nacional, which h held in his hand, and being answered in the affirmative, after some interlocutory phrases, Captain Bentinck Doyle reproached Colonel Shaw with bringing up th e name of the late Lieut enan t-G enera l Sir John Doyle, Baronet, in connection with this case, and, laying his whip on Colonel Shaw's shoulders, begged him to consider himself horse whipped. Captain Bentinck Doyle, being a young gentle. man, received much credit for having stepped forward in this spirited way as the champion of his family's honour, even fiorn Colonel Shaw himself, who claimed to have .of fered him his first commission at Oporto, but Considered him ill-advised and set on, as his mention of the late General Sir John Doyle's name was rather respectful, to his memory than otherwise ; but as the nice sense of military honour forbade his submitting to a blow, lie. set about finding a friend, as near as possible of own rank, to carry a mes sage to Capt. B. Doyle, T i ne name of Admiral Sartorius was the first that occurred,, to him, but as the gallant Admiral hap. pened to be 0 ". 4 ., of the way all next day, and did not return to his 10 '!,, , :i ngs till midnight, and then, no doubt, very pro- I P 4.4 . 7 14 begged to be excused from interfering, having himself had a quarrel with Captain Doyle's uncle, Colonel Shaw sent on the following morning an express to Colonel God frey, at Peniche, who arrived on Wednesday night in town; but being the Commander of the Irish, of which regiment Mr. Doyle was a Captain, Colonel Godfrey also thought himself an improper personage to commit so great a breach of discipline as to carry a hostile message to one of the offi cers of his own corps. Colonel Williams was, embarking for England, and could not be expected to - undertake the management of the affair. Captain Dove being made ac ' quainted with these circumstances, Colonel Shaw sent yes terday morning to St. Übes, for the Major of his regiment to act as his friend on the present occasion, who is hourly expected here, and there this part of the question rests at present. But not. so the paper war, for in the Nacional of Wednesday, the 4tlfinqant, there is a counter-statement of Sir John Milley :Doyle against Colonel Shaw, dated Rua Prior, Buer'"os Ayres, the Ist of February, and a letter from Captain Bentinck Doyle, of the same date, to the edi t ter, inclosing the narrative of his own proceedings, signed by two other officers who were present. The duel was fought on the Gth instant, at Campo Grande, between Col. Shaw and Captain Bentinck Doyle. The parties ex changed three shots without effect, and walked off the ground without any apology. Colonel Godfrey was Col. Shaw's second after all. COLLEGE REMINISCENCES OF MR. COLERIDGE. By the Rev. C. V. L-N (MICE. ( From the Gentleman's Magazine for December, 1834.) Mr. Urban,—ln the Various and numerous memoirs which have been published of the late Mr. Coleridge, I have been surprized at their accuracy in many respects, and, at the same time, their omission of a very remarkable and a very honourable anecdote in his history. In the memoir of him in your last number, you do not merely omit, but you give an erroneous account of this very circumstance to which I allude. You assert that he did not obtain, and, indeed, did not aim to obtain, the honours of the University. So far is this from the fact, that in his freshman's year ho won the gold medal for the Greek Ode ; and in his second year he became a candidate for the Craven Scholarship —a Uni versity Scholarship, for which undereTaduates of any stand ing are entitled to become candidates. This was in the winter of 1792. Out of 16 or 13 competitors, a selection of four was made to contend fn„ the prize, and these four were Dr. Butler, the Head Master of Shrewsbury ; Dr. Keate, the late Head Metier of Eton ; Dr. Bethel', the present Bishop of Bngor ; and Coleridge. Dr. Butler was the suc cessful 'candidate. But pause a moment in Coleridge's his 07y, and think of him at this period! Butler ! Keate ! Bethel' ! and Coleridge ! How different the career of each in future life ! 0, Coleridge, through what strange paths did the meteor of Genius lead thee ! Pause a moment, ye distinguished men ! and deem it not the least bright spot in your happier career, that you and Coleridge were once rivals, and for a moment running abreast in the pursuit of honour. I believe that his disappointment at this crisis damped his ardour. Unfortunately, at that period there was no, classical tripas ; so that if a person did not obtain the classical medal, he was thrown back among the totally undis tinguished ; and it was not allowable to become a candidate for the classical medal, unless you had taken a respectable degree in mathematics. Coleridge had not the least taste for these, and here his case was hopeless ; so that he despaired of a Fellowship, and gave up what in his heart he coveted —college honours and a college life. He had seen Mid dleton (late Bishop of Calcutta) quit Pembroke under si milar circumstances. Not quite similar, because Middle ton studied mathematics, so as to take a respectable de gree, and to enable him to try for the medal ; but he failed, and therefore all hopes failed of a fellowship, most tOrtunately, as it proved in after-life, for Middleton, though he mourned at the time most deeply, and exclaimed, " I am Middleton, which is another name for Misfortune!--- " There is a Providence which shapes our ends, Rough hew them how we will.' That which Middleton deemed a misfortune drew him from the cobwebs of a college library to the active energies of a useful and honoured life. But to reture. to Coleridge. When he quitted college, which lie didl.,efore he had taken a degree, in a mo men t o f mad-cap Caprice—it was i n d eed an inauspicious hour !—" In an inauspicious hour I left the friendly cloisters and the 1.. - appy grove of quiet, ever-no noured Jesus College, cambridge." Short but deep and heartfelt reminiscence). In a literary life of himself, this short memorial is tal that Coleridge gives of his happy days at college. 5P.,37 not that he did not obtain, and did not wish to obtain, classical honours ! He did obtain them, and was eagerly ambitious of them ; but he did not bend to that discipline which was to qualify him for the whole course. He was very studious, but his rea di ng was d esultory and capricious. He t oo k little exercise merely for the sake of exercise ; but he was ready at any time to unbend his mind in conversation, and for the sake of this, his room (the ground-floor room on the right hand of the staircase facing the great gate) was a constant rendezvous of conversation loving friends,—l will not call them loungers, for they (lid not call to kill time, but to enjoy it. What evenings have I spent in those rooms. What little suppers or sizings, as they were called, have I enjoyed ; when lEschylus, and Plato, and Thucydides were pushed aside, with a pile of lexicons, &c., to discuss the pamphlets of the day ! Ever and anon a pamphlet issued from the pen of Burke. There was no need of having the book before us. Coleridge had read it in the morning, and in the evening he would repeat whole pages verbatim. Frend's trial was then in progress. Pamphlets swarmed from the ptess. Cole ridge had read them all ; and in tbrs evening, with our ncgus, we had them viva voce gloriously. 0, Coleridge ! it was indeed an inauspicious hour when you quitted the friendly cloisters of Jesus, The epithet " friendly" implied what you were thinking of when- you thought of college. To you,Coleridge, year contemporaries were indeed friendly, and I believe that in your literary life you have passed over your college 1 2:ie so briefly, because you wished to banish from your vi"'w , the " visions of long-departed joys." To enter a description of your college days would have called up too sadly to your memory " the hopes which once shone bright," and have made your heart sink.—Yours, &c., November 19. C. V. LE GRICE. EXTRAORDINARY ELOPEMENT.—On Saturday last there appeared in the different journals, under the head of " Attempted Suicide and Murder," the particulars of a despe rate attempt made by William Childs, a policeman, belonging to the K division of police, on the day before, to stab himself with a knife, in the kitchen of a lady named Appleton, resid ing on Stepney-green ; and also with attempting to stab his wife. It appeared that on the morning of Friday, Childs, after coming off duty, was watched by his wife into the kitchen of Mrs. Appleton, whither she followed him ; and on calling him to an account for his reason for going there, it was alleged that he had been paying his addresses ?or some time before to the servant-maid as a single man ; and on being charged with his conduct, he took up a table-knife, and attempted to stab himself in the right side. The point of the knife coming against one of his ribs, warded it off, and the wound was quite harmless. It was soon discovered that the servant was not the object of Child's attention, for, on the day following, Miss Appleton, a young lady, it is said, of considerable personal attractions, and who is entitled, when of age, to considerable property, eloped from the house of her mother, and has not since been heard of by her friends. Shortly after leaving her home, she called at the residence of Childs, expressed the greatest sorrow for what had occurred, and saying that, as she was the cause of it, she would make reparation to hirn (Childs) and his wife, by getting him a situation in the country. house of her uncle, who was a wealthy merchant in the City--and,, with the view of introducing him (Childs) to her uncle, she requested him to accomyany her. To this the wife asse-Ated, and both went away, and have not since been heard of, Ser jeans Dally has been employed by the friends of ti e l a dy t o discover the retreat of the fugitives, but as yet i ns i s m atte _ cessful.—Morning Advertiser. MALICIOUS BURNING.—On .Friday morning last the outhouses and part of the dwellfdig-house of Mr. D. Fitz gerald, near Askeaton, were r:iaiiciously set on fire and con sumed to ashes. In tlic unthOuses were four horses and four cows, which won; all burnt to death, and a quantity of farm ing and caner utensils destroyed. It is supposed that the act was committed by one mnn, as there were only the traces of one person discernible through the soft part of the fields.— Linierich Star.
