CETTI, Miss COE Er, Miss Mows, and Nladame BE.L- LocK I , as last season. Miss HUGHES, who is non' tignoraGaTTt,also resumed her former part. Mons. ALBERT Made his first appearance as'Figaro. He did not make a very favourable impression ; fyar a first appearance always demands a lenient tonsidet at ion. His voice is powerful. His • k:nre• and countenance, hots ever, are not very Well calculated to display the archness and • l'oaggery of the lively Valet. ANIBiti)GETTI was, as rystral all animation; and was well seconded by LLOCHT. SPAGSOLETTI, very properly retains his station as leader, and the Band has regained %alnahle addition in DRAGONETTI.

I . ciA iii K §ijit Tli E' NoltTa-w EST PASSAGE. It is a known fact, that vast shoals of herrings proceed to the North in anttutin, to shelter them underthe ice during . Winter front the pur suits of the great fish ; because whales cannot re main long under water, but 'are forced tdrise to the stirface to breathe. *IA/hales have been killed in the sea to the North of the Corea, that - had French and Dutch harpoons in their bodies. These Whales h been most probably wounded either between Spitzbergen and Greenland, or in Baffin's Bay nor is it likely that they Came to the North Pacific Ocean by the way of Cape porn, but must ba , :c swam to the North of America and through BAring's Strait, with an open see to breathe at its surface, and from being wounded, they must have more frequently done so. This proves that the Arctic Sea is often free froth ice, a circumstance not hitherto noticed, and is in favour' of the Discovery Ships finding a Passage clear of iceto the North of America. See the Quarterly Review, October, 1817, on the Polar Ice, page 217. NATIONAL RELIEF. Lord LAUDERDALE'S Speech on Friday evening, recalls to our mind an interesting little Essay, which was pnblished by STOCKDALE, of Pall-mall, some years ago, on an half sheet. We think it well worth revival at this time and are happy in the opportunity of testifying our sense of-the ser vices of that spirited and Loyal Publisher : I3RITAIN RESTORED Honouretb'e Rc'irf, without 7'az or Poor's Rate. wages of industry are lionourable."—GLuttoN. Financiers aver that it is necessary to keep up the Price of the Stocks. Remove the Sinking Fund, and the Strielis will fall, perhaps ~O per cent., without the chance of redeeming such fall. Diminish the Interest, or cancel part of the Prin cipal, and the Stocks will fall to half their present price : even such fall would be nothing, compared with the breach of - pphlic faith, a national crime,. only justifiable hy other crime—that of Revolution 1 submit that. the Government instantly negotiate a Loan to the full extent of the objects to be attained, say, 30 to 50 millions. This will depress the Stocks less than might he supposed. It could be obtained, taking the 3 per Cents, at 31. to 61. under the price of the day; but if the price were lower, the operation of the Sinking Fund, which must on no account be touched, would redeem the debt with proportion ate rapidity, and very soon bring back the first hiss, which would therefore only he ideal. .Half the Assessed Taxes should be repealed, and a Tax of 21 per Cent. be substituted, on real property only. This would provide not merely for the repeal of the Assessed. Taxes, but for the Interest of the Loan also ; or that might be provided by borrowing so much 'note than would be wanted, as would cover the Interest, until the Works to be accomplished, being com pleted, begin to produce Revenue. A general Survey, by Counties, should ha made throughout the whole Empire, to ascertain what Public Works can be immediately engaged in,. to emplorevery man. who wants work, on Roads, Rivers, Bridges, Canals, Inclosures, Embankments, &c. Tl s Stints requisite might he lent by the Public to the respective Coun ties, through the medium of the Lords Lieutenants, and placed under the gratuitous direction of the CommiSsioners of Land, or of the Magistracy; the Principal and Interest to be repaid to the Public by Rates, levied ou the Works when completed. Great efficiency might also be given by eniibling the Bank of England to giant Loans to the Landed and Cont..' mercial Interest ; and, by compelling Country Bankeri to give security to the extent of their issues, they would acquire greater stability, and their notes would circulate freely. Per mission to Country Gentlemen to issue their Securities, with out stamps, in proportion to not mare than half the value of their property, in Land Bills, of not less than 50, nor mere than 5001. at 4 per cent for a term, not shorter than one, nor longer than Five Years, would likewise greatiy assist the proposed object i as, when it were known that individuals of Real Property had granted, or were wining to grant, the aid of their Securities, or Land Bills, to Bankers, or Merchants, on any emergency, it would most probably, by the confidence it would give the Public, remove all necessity for the issue even of their . L.nd Bills ; and thus, confidence being general ly restored, the present difficulties would be, almost instan taneously, removed. "_ This, by giving Universal Employment, will create as universal a circulation of money ; will occupy those who are at present clamorous from real want; rendr e !• unnecessary all Poor's Rates, except. for the infirm and infants; and the Po pulation being thus profitably engaged, will be under no dif ficulty of maintaining and clothing this mselves and families, whose consumption will give a new tone to the whole internal Trade and Manufactures of the Empire. Unlike Loans which have been expended abroad, this will circulate wholly at home ; and the Instalments, fur the more general encouragement of Subscribers, may be made payable in small proportions, and at distant intervals, according - to the probable time the ex penditure would occupy before any returns could be looked , for. The Tolls chargeable on the completion of each sepa rate object, would not only repay their original. expense with interest, hut even furnish a lasting and productive ad dition to the National Revenue, probably sufficient to do away the remainder of the Assessed Taxes.' It may, in short well be styled, " A LoAN for the RELIEF of the Country and by a mode which will amply repay principal and interest, from the invaluable sources of productive labour and circu lation. On Saturday a smith in Kilsyth was taken to jail for making pikes, anti on Sunday morning three men were apprehended for having-pikes in their possession. Twelve of the Kilsyth Yeo manry escorted them to Stirling. At a Meeting of the Civil Authorities of Renfrewshire, held in the -Town Hall, Green ock, on Saturday, it was resolved to concert measures :tor. the immediate forming of an armed association, of a description similar to that adopted in other places, for the protection of the public peace. tiA.MiWfaiii I.‘iiiiti. tio6. 12.—1 n the sitting of the seCoi - iti Chamber of the States General of this day, a Mes. sage from his Majesty was read, with two Pro jects.of taws relative to tilt Finances. As our paper was going to press, we reetxived numerous communications and journals from the United States of America frOm which We give a few extracts, which are of the utmost import ance. " By the passengers of the I - lippornenes; Which arrived at New Yolk front Curaoa on the 23d October, we learn, that the Spanish General -Morillo had re-taken Santa Fe, and was marching with a trong corps against Maracaibo.' A Spa nish squadron of one frigate, two sloops, and seven smaller vessels, was blockading Margaritta." • PETERSBURGH, Nov. 20 —Count Kolsehnherg has been charged with the Ministry of the Interior. The Ministry of the Police is abolished, and the direction of the Police of the Empire united with the Ministry of the Interior; the Department of Manufactures and Internal Commerce, is united with the Ministry of Finance ; and the Chief . Director of Post-offices remains for - the pre sent in fhe hands of Prince Alexander Galitzin, Minister -for Religioni Affairs and - Public . In ronon. A new general Tariff of Customs for the whole empire is expected to be shortly published. VI &A, DEC.

ElAmßunoti, DEC.

Arabassador to the Court of St. Petersburgh, arrived here yesterday on his return' f:ozn St. Petersburgh._ Roma, Nov. 18.-1 r is generally reported . that Messrs. Schmitz, Grolemburg, and Turkheitn, the Envoys of the German rtioces, will soon return to Route. It is presumed that the Congress of Carlsbad recommended to the Protestant Sovereigns to con clude agreements with the Holy See, and to put an end to the manifold complaints of their Ca. belie subjects respecting religious matters. It is probable that both parties %IA be content with preliminarrConventions, principally tor the no ►nination of Bishops, which is tilr essential point. The Protestant Sovereigns of Germany have never ceased to grant Catholic subjects all the rights compatible with the actual sys.em of government, and with the rights of their subjects of a different religion. The difficulties which impede a Con vent ion do not arise from them, but from the na ture of the affair itself. • • THE MARKETS. CORN-EXCHANGE, DEC. 20.—The supply of Wheat was rather large this morning from Essex, but there were but few arrivals from any other Port : a few samples'sold at last Monday's prices, but all other sorts were offered at 2s. per quarter less than last week, without being able to effect sales at that abatement.; the Barley trade is quite stagnated, and, except e few superior fine samples, is full 2s. per trartv cheaper, and unsale-' able at that decline ; Beans, Peas, and Oats were exceedingly heavy sale, and Is. per quarter lower; Flour is ss. per 'quarter lower.

A person came into that town, giving his name as Fitigerald, and stating himself to be a general dealer at Parsons -town, a place about forty miles distant from Limerick, purchased be tween thirty and forty hogsheads of tobacco, and paid for the goods, with The exception of the duty, for which an indulgence of eight days is granted. The goods were delivered „from the store, and conveyed.away: On inquiry at Parsons town, no such person is to be heard of although a licence was taken out and every regulation conformed to ; the amount of duty thus evaded the payment of, is estimated at upwards of Ten Thousand Pounds. Every means has been resorted to for discovering the parties in this transaction, without effect, nor can any trace of the goods be found. tiistliAtititi The jiePri niinj. of Engitst► Hooks at Paris; . nit other places on the Continent, is a serious injury irt , the British Booksellers, from the great nom. hers brought into Ibis Country by travellers, as he present dtity, and the mode of charging it affords no adequate proteetion to them We therefcire trust that this important subject will not escape the attention of Government, and that a remedy will be forthwith provided to protect the several Interests concerned in and connected viith . the' Printing Establishments of this Cannily.. Captain HALL'S interesting account of the In= habitants of Loo-Choo ,has become a Class Buok at the Charter Ifi'ittse and other public Schools, and will, we understand, be shortly reprinted, i►i a small compendious form, adapted to that pn►e pose. The plea Sore we derived from the perusal of Dr. Crioi-e's History of England, induces us• to hope that the report .of his-intention to continue it to the close of the list War, is true. The character of this Work is not sufficiently known, shoo ht the learning and the talents of the Author are most deservedly held in high estimation by the Literary world. This History is written in the purest style of Classic composition, with out a borrowed sentence, except in incidental quotations, and contains a mass of original com position not to be found in the English Histories of other WdterS. T he Jeanie& Civilian has brought the Whole of his work Within moderate limits, and 'though untinctured with the ran cour of Party, or the bias of prejudice, the most interesting period* of our History, and the changes whiclitotik 'place in the Coostitir ion of the'Country, are treated in so popular a manner, as.cannot fail to afford,rhe most lively gratifica tion to all classes of his Readers.

ROYAL TIGER.—Oir the 2d of February, the inhabitants of Ahmedabad were much surprised by the appearance of a Royal Tiger, which was •brought in alive from a neighbouring village. He had been caught in a large cage constructed on the principle of a rat-trap, with a goat for the bait, but partitioned off wilt strong bars, so as to be beyond the reach of the Tiger ; the goat was, however, taken out dead, without having apparently suffered any injury ; it is therefore concluded that the animal died en- , tirely of fright. A large and fierce dog, of the northern breed, was put into the cage for his food, and the Gentlemen who were present were much surprised at obServing the dug, instead of being alarmed at. the terrific animal, immediately `rush forward and seize him by the nose, and it was a considerable time before the tiger could disengage himself. : After having been kept for some days to gratify tl,e curiosity of the natives, a Ga:ntleman of known eelrbrity in the sporting world, put an end t:) his existence, by shooti;Ag him will a rifle through the.forehead. The ball was after. wards ,extracted, and was completely flattened, which shows the extreme hardness of the skulls of these destructive animals. In the village at which this animal was caught, above 6-0 people are said to have been destroyed by hitn—(Calcutta Journal.) The convict ship, having on board Dr. 0' Hallo• ran, arrived safe at Botany Bay on the lst ofJuly last, after a tedious voyage, and being very Shutt of water. On Tuesday week, while the Sheriff Court was sitting, a fire took place in the Court house, Du►nfries, which, though it retarded, did not finally stop the ends of jostice. The fire was soon extinguished, and it was a for tunate circumstance the Court had not dis persed before it was discoVered, otherwise. in all probability that elegant structure, from the great quantity of wood in the interior, would have been soon laid in ashes. The accident oc curred from the pipes for warming tilts house, which are made of white tin, and covered with wood, being ovetheuted.
