(From The New England Palladium) " The United States frigate Congress, Captain HENLEY, is on the point of sailing from the Che sapeake; to convey to the Brazils the new Ambas sador, Mr. ,Graham, and suite. After landing them, she is to circumnavigate the globe, pro ceeding by the Cape of Good [lope, Eastwardlv, and returning - Tumid Cape Horn. It is expected hhe will be absent two years. It is probable she will visit srvetal itarbours on the coast of India, anti in the Islands of the Indian Sea—and touch at C 11111011—M nd that on arriving in the Pacific Ocean she will look into Columbia River, and the Inost important Spanish'vrts. She carries out 25 Midshipmen, that they may have the benefit of experience and instruction. 'This will afford them a fine opportunity to see the world—and acquire a knowledge of it—though not in the usual meaning of the terms." The object of the Government of the United States in the above Expedition is obvious ;—it forms the NAVAL branch of a great measure con templated by them, whilst the MILITARY branch is now under able Officers, with several regiment 6, in its progress to the Indian country, by the route of the Missouri, in order to ovcrpower the na tives, and to break up the Posts of the North- West Company, fioln whence they have so long carried on an immense Trade, to tbe great bene fit of Great 13iitain. Why these things are so tamely looked at, we do not know !! ! We hope there is no ,truth in the report that it is the intention of Government to give up the bock-yard and Arsenal at Halifax, in Nova Sco tia. Considerable anxiety is felt from this ru- Intit for since the late Treaty with the United States, that esiablishinent and station become of Wore importance than ever.'

THE CARLA:SEA; NVEAVEI3.3. After a clear and candid statement of the con duct of these misguided men, in The Carlisle Pa triot, !cc. Scc. S f c. of Saturday last, the following, is the latest account of their proceedings. NVe trust that the most vigorous, but also the most temperate and judicious measures, will he adopted to put a stop to the contagion of such alarming measures : " FRIDAY EVENING.—A very numerous meeting of weavers belonging to Carlisle and various parts of the surrounding district (including the South of Scotland), was held upon the Sands this after noon, for the putpose of concerting further ope rations. At this meeting, we are sorry to say. an illegal oath was agreed upon, and administered to as many as could be conveniently sworn, binding thi mselves not to work for certain manufacturers, nor in any shop where their woik may be: they afterw•'ards marched through some of the streets, and quietly dispersed.—This most injudicious pro ceeding cannot be too strongly censured : it is a death-blow to their own caltse; it will at once destroy that sympathy which all ranks have hi therto cherished for their distress. Its absurdity, too, is equal to its impolicy—for it irnotorious that the weavers cannot do without those whom they affect to proscribe : it is still worse when we call to mind that the objects of this marked hostility have employed scores of the very meu who take this oath (not willingly, we would fain believe), purely out of charity, and at their own loss. when they could obtain no work elsewhere ! We en treat the leaders in this affair to reflect upon what they are doing—they tread a dangerous path, and cannot see the end of it." REGISTER OF FASHION. THE DUCHESS OF KENT.

THE MARKETS. • CORN , LXGUANGE, JUNE 7.—Our supply of Wheat was rather large this morning -from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk,which met heavy sale, at a reduction of full 2s. per quarter from last Monday's prices. The demand f or Barley was but trifling; yet fine fresh samples, 'fit for malting, obtatied l a st .week's prices, but the sale ofordivary samples could not be got off, except on . very low terms; the • Oat trade was not so brisk as on Friday, but fresh Coro supports the prices of this day, weelt.— In'Beans and Peas there is no alteration. Ssimirmu, JUNE 7.—Our Market this morning was well supplied with prime beasts, and the prices remain as last week. The trade was brisk, prime Beef rather dearer; Muttioi and Lamb as our last quotation ; Veal and Pork remains the same as, per last. The business in the Hay Market was rather dull, the prices as in our last, as the buyers are still waiting for the New Crops; Clover continues the same, little or nothing doing in that article; Straw was cheaper than last week's Market.

DitUitY-LA N HEATILE. On Saturday a General Meeting of the Pro prietors of this Theatre was hell in the Saloon. J. CALCRAFT, EN., NI. P , t , wo! the Chair at a guar. er before two o'clork. The Hon. Gentle man commenced by observing, that he was igno rant of the narticular objects of the meting, but whate.'er they %vete, he would dischartte his duty to the best of his power. lie hoped that, what ever variety of opinion might prevail, every Gen tleman would be allowed a fair and impartial hearing. Mr. WARD, the Secretary, proceeded to read the Report of the Sub-Committee, as sent in and quoted by the General Committee. The Soh- Committee expressed their regret at being obliged to state, that this season had terminated as the previous one bad done, by adding to the debt of the property. They did not mean to shrink from the responsibility of the measures adopted by them. as. however unsuccessful, their efforts bad Peen used to promote the interests of the esta blishment, The expetiment of reducing the price of admission had totally failed, butt it was expected that the plan of raising the price, recently adopted, would be productive of pro. •fir, the number of persons visiting the Theatre being in both instances the same. The Sub. Committee were of opinion that the publication of the financial state of the Theatre, and the oh servatious made upon the talents of the performers, tended to lower it in public estimation. Having found that the expenditure of the Theatre exceed ed the receipts, the Committee would have pro posed its bring closed, were it not for the propo sal of Ntr. Ironmonger to advance a sum sufficient to pay the contract debts at the rate of 6s.Sd. in the pound. This propos , l had, however, withdl'awn, on the ground rho the propose#t secu rity was not, in the opinion of Mr. ironmonger's legal adviser, suffix lent to secure an advance of 12,000/. A letter from Mr. Ironmonger, one of the Sob- Committee, was next read. It stated, that that Gent!emin had wititdrawn his proposal of advanc ing 12,0001., not only on the ground of the se curOy bring defective, but also from a knowledge that this snot would be insufficient to answer the end in view: Early next year there would be a debt of i 0,3•101. owing by the establ;slonent, without any expectation of being able to compro mise with the creditors. lie was still anxious to follow up his offer, it any ineanscoulu be devised of effecting a practical relief. Mr. WARD proceeded to read an account of the Revenue and E%pendi/ tire ; of the last season, from which it appe..red, that irp to the sth of May the receipts were 35,996/., and the exnendmre 37,2931. 125., making a deficiency of 1,297/. Ns. 'rite debt last year was MOO/. ; this year it was. , 90,9221. 7s. 1 Id. But in the charge of Ibis year• there was a sum of 16,2281. for judgments en— tered up, or to persons whose claims were in a train of legal adjudication. This was included in ,the whole debt. • Mr. S. KRNIZIA said, that during the last season the receipts- had been sufficient. to cover the cur rent expenditure_ of the Theatre ; with the debts otherwise contracted be had nothing to do. - Mr. - COCKER observed, that there had been all increase of 6,0001. of debt this year, without any dividend -haring been made. Roinks expressed his regret that Mr. Iron monger was .not present. That Gentleman had Seen the Resohnions of the Committee, and might haie'opposed them if he pleased. - Fie (Mr. Iron anottget) hail made s magnificent offer; and it was eagerly accepted ; 'hut he now withdrew it, on, the ground that there was ati outstanding debt, whiCh he had not foieseen. But that Gentleman, was fully acquainted whit the state of the Ties .sury, and must have known of its debts, as well as of its means of meeting them. off , .r had injured the proprietors, inasmuch as it prevented them, in a great degree, from calling on the Sub- Committee to make good their offer of advancing 30001. or 40001. each, to extricate the establish-- mein from its difficulties. After some observa tions on the management of the Sub-Committee,' Mr. Robins observed, that the time was now come to set their slronlders to the wheel, or else the establishMent ninst sink althgether. Mr. Ar nold 11;1(1 a proposal in. view, which was not yet hilly digested ; the ground of it was, that if he got the ibeatie he would" require but .a very small salary at first, but that should increase with the increasing profits of the house. Mr. S. KEMBLE said, he was authorised by Mr. Kean to state, that he (Mr. Kean) would take the Theatre at a rent of 8,0001. a year. If this proposal were accepted, it 'would, he was sure; satisfy both,the public and the performers. He was nut authorized to go farther, but he was con vinced, that it Mr. Kean were allowed a lease of. ten years, he would narrow the stage and bring forward , Abe boxes, imprOvethents which were very much wattling. Ile would also decorate the Theatre in a proper manner. . PERKY expressed his approbation of the handsome offer of Mr. Kean: if there was any plan by which the ~!,stablishmeut could be relieved from its present difficulties, it was this. lie (Mr. Perry) had 5 years ago opposed the proposition of Mr. Whitbread to let the Theatre, on the ground that a public establishment of the kind ought not to bemaole,subservient to the views of any indivi ()nal speculator ; and because he conceived that the arts would be better protected and encouraged by adopting a public-spirited and general princi ple of management.—(llear, bear !) lie should move, that it was the opinion of the Meeting the Subscribers might to make an advance of d on thtir shares, in order that the present ineunt brances might be' cleared off ; that for the sous so advanced there should be given such securities as the establishment afforded ; and that those ad vances should be repaid before any dividend was Made to the Proprietors. _ Mr.MottRICE seconded this resolution. Mr. S. KEMBLE 1131 d, he had omitted to men tion, that Mr• Kean had the promise of the sup port of the greatest authors and poets of the age, in the event of his obtaining the Theatre. Mr. CALCRAFT suggested the . propriety of re ferring the various documents to a. Committee. After a few observations from Sir T. Turaozi "' :Air. Pe; y's it esolution was pi t and carried nnaniinoliFiv. Mr. ROBINSON said, tit as Mr. Cossli) bad obtained a verdict again,t the neatte , it Ivoui4l be necessary ra request a lithe breathing , 1412 from him, or else he : might come esi:h an ex.:eqtiott. it was then inured and carried, that a Cont. mittee of ten be appointed to consider the st,,te of the Theatre, and to reeds e all proposals for renting or conducting it.

The Sob-Committee were added to the above names, and the Committee were ordered to re port their proceedings at a Meeting to be held on Sevorday, the 12111 inst. thaido having been voted to the Hon. Chair man, the Alerting, which was numerously, an:l most re , pretanly amended, adjourned till Satur day next. Theatre closes to-mot row, when Mr. S. Kemble totikes, for the last time, his appearance in ,his two-fold capacity of Manager and APtor. lie is to speak the usual rirewell Address, and to act the part of Fa/staff in the play of King Henry the Fourth. MR. MA F E WS. This versatile .and excellent Come4!ian closed his Entertainment, entitled At Home, on Satur day last, at the English Opera-house, atter a vtry attractive, and of course a very profitable season. His objects %were fair and liberal, and the whole of his Pet forinance was marked by such spirit, humour, and variety, as may well account for the extraordinary popularity which attended it. The following is the Farewell Address which be de livercil Ott the occasion : LODI Ki AND ENTLEMEN—The longest journey must have an end, and the 'pleasanter our progress on the road, the more painful is the parting with our fellow-travellers. Such are my feel ngs at this moment, when, after tr,velling forty nights to and from Paris in your company, the hour is at length arrived, when PauQt reluctantly ni; . l you fareweil, It I may he allowed to judge of the cordial smiles with which my labours have bean cheered throughout, I may veu titre to hope that you participate in this feetlng: and I shall, therefore, solace myself, in separation from my indulgent friends, with the pleasing task of preparing to Pfceive them it Home again next Season, with new matter lot their en tertainment. -To this end I shall study new characters, and aim at new personation., not with an 'unworthy view to outrage private feelings, by holding op personal defects to ridicule ; but with ;be wore useful, and at the same time less offensive, object of skewing how easily peculiarities become dis.greea'Jle, if . c ia.red to grow info habits and how, fiequently habits, tf so indolge4 in, may become ridiculous. Such, with all humility, I consider to be the fair game of what is attempted to be ne,graded by the name of Miluickiy. It is that in the pii . ipica/ world which Satire is in the moral ; and if the work of a Satirist of manners be not degraded by the appellation of is' Lampoon, I know not why the exhibi tion of an imitator of Manner should be classed with the were grimaces of a Buffoon. I have thought it neeessaty to say thus inue,7 in defence of that which I consider as the very soul of the profession of an actor—lmitation: for no- one, I presume, will deny, that Shakespeare would have written in vain (so far as applies to stage representation), had actors attempted to play Othello with a fair face, or Richard the Third without a hump. Thus, it appears, there are cases in which even personal deformities and defects may become proper subjects of satire. Such as the decrepitude of Age :aft ctiog the follies and gay frivolities of Youth ; the rich and antiquated one-eyed Lover ogling the young and heantifal victim of an odious passion—or a ,youthful Coxcomb, with handy legs, obtruding his pitiable deluttnity on your notice, by exhibiting his other .wise pretty person in a quadrille. Such, in endless variety, Are the fair - and allowed objects of imitative Satire; still I may perhaps be acquitted from any charge of vanity, when I assert, that, even in such cases, a more than_ ordinary accu• racy of obseivation is llteeSS3ly to hit off successfully those nice distinctions of character and manlier which form the wide difference between a correct Portrait and a vulgar Ca. .rivature ; and ii I have succeeded, or can succeed (by holding* the mirror up to. Nature, and shewing Fully her own image, and Vice its own deformity) in correcting anyone of a foolish :habit, or an offensive peculiarity—and above all, in atEirding the Public a Ow boors of hal miess mirth, I think my labours amply rewardiA, and that my life has not been altogether pissed, or my humble talents exerted, without some degree of nsefolness.- La DIES AND GENTTLEMENT—It now only remains for me to offer my grateful aclinowleiionents for the liberal—indeed splendid patronage, I have received. So greatly has that pa tronage exceeded my hopes, Una I have to boast this season of having been honoured by the presence of some thousands of visitors more than attended me last year ; and it is this un looked-for increase of public favour that. not only encourages a hope for the future, but stimulates every exertion of which am capable, to merit, if possible, a continuance of your valuable, and believe me ever,itoil higliqh valued kiudnest. SINtULAIt CASE. The Mary Anne' transport, from Malta, and the Isabella, from Gibraltar, affived last week, with Officers of reduced corpsand detachments of troops, to be discharged from the serVice.—By the Mary Anne, Mr. KINNAIRD (son of Mr. KINNAIRD, Magistrate for Westminster), came home as a state prisoner, being charged with the murder of a Maltese, under singular_circumstances,which have been stated as follow :—The accused obtained per mission of his father, about three years ago, to travel. lie went toAthensorith the view of adding to his professional acquirements, and became acquainted with an English Gentleman,who had a servant, a Maltese, of a sharp, penetrating dis cernment, but excessively morose and vindic tive. The servant had exercised a controul over his master, which the accused could not hear to witness, and endeavoured to repress. The most implacable enmity arose on the part of the servant, from whom the :accused had reason; to expect the utmost violence. The young Get,tle min prepared himself against any tiaßgerpns emergency, by carrying a brace of pistols in his breast. A 4 Constantinople, the Mal tese gave many proofs of his enmity ; and on one occasion, which was fatal to him, sent for Mr Kinnaird, who was at a feast, and who, with out knowing by whom he was called, left his wine with precipitation to attend his Visitor. The nivo ment he came into the outward apartment,, tat Malteze seized him by the collar, and made a rows tion, from which the other expected something dangerous. The Maltese dragged about the ac cused, who drew one of his pistols and shot bins 'through the heart. No attempt at escape wat made. The accused immediately went before the British Consul, and demanded to be sent to this country to take his trial upon any charge that may be instituted against him. Mr. Kinnaird was de tained on board the Mary Anne, u n til Adkins, the Bow-street Officer, arrived on Friday morning, with a warrant - to take him into custody. They set off on Friday night for London.— ( 'ortvuoutis Paper.)
