Long may we wetness the same union , concord, anil joy in those whose welfare is so dear 0 U) the tritish People ! • By a Gentleman Who recently left I:Utile, and CalTle to this Comftry through-Germany and Hot- . land, we learn that • the distresses among the mn nutacturers and the middling classes of people in ge neral are far mart. severe than what our country men, of the same deleription, are at Ibis moment xuffering.--qhe want of money in the Govern- Meats of all:tite countries Which he passed through 'Was deeply frit, and in all respects,. if comparison is tt source of consolation, (m i t. rellow-Countrymen have much less reason for the exertion of forti tude and patience than most people on .the Con- . . tinent. „It has been suggested, that Southampton en . • • joys many fatilities which Weymouth does not possess ai n n Port to be employed as the point of communication between England and Guern sey and Jersev, and we are informed, that it has been sutnnitted to the, consideration of the proper Anthorities'os . ictlier the intercourse both of public, correspondence and passengers might not he advantageously transferred to the former place. Aire know not wh:it. decisiOn niay be .made in this matte', bit nuilei.stand that the fdct of Southamp ton being '0 I , net, nearer theMetroplis has been strenuously urged in. its favour, and ill!s made considerable impression. A *Correspondent writes to us—r‘ The accounts inserted La several of the London Journals, as received from Flanders, expressive of the antipa thy of the Flemings to British trade and com merce, more particularly as to the public burning of English. manufacture, are much exaggerated. am assured, from persons who have just arrived front thence, that the burning.mentioned . as taking Place at Ghent was nothing more than a frolic. 'the contribution furnished thereto being by some large holders of British mandactUre, who were over -stocked. The. consequence has been its they lvishecl, au immediate rise in the different arti• des, from the supposition that no more were to be sent over, at least very sparingly. Indeed, 'whoever knows the Flemish character canjudge of the probability of a voluntary bunting of all tirtielts of British Manufactnre, 'as it is well known that they have too much value for the smallest part of their property." " We were weak enough to suppose," says . the Morning Chronicle, " that when we saw a public 111e,:!iti suggested by the Archbishop nf. CANTER bURY, advertised by the . Duke of RUTLAND, and at which the Duke of Venn, was to preside, that fine nnblie were to be gratified with el plan ha the a melioration of ,the buirthen of tythes, for the sinreroler of sinecures, the abolition of useless 441lices.. and e rethiction of the army—but; alas, ns a . substitute for all these but a subscrip tion,'.

By the kindness of an of ficer belonging to that ship we are now enabled to communicate is tew particulars of this event, which will he tound interesting by all who like • to seethe British character estimated, as it de serves to be, in foreign countries : H.

Two days after we got !wahine, when the Ciovernor and principal Officers of the place, with his Eminence Cardinal Gonsalvi, Prime .111inister of State, paid us a visit, The Cardinal came on purpose from Rome in the Pope's name, to thanks as and our country fur the valuable cargo we had brought them. He appeared highly gratified at looking about the ship, The swine day the fiaptain and two of our Officers dined at the Governor's with the Cardinal, who hail the Cap tain placed to his right at the head of the table, mid the Bri tish Consul et the left. All the Foreign . Consuls were of the party. About 45 persons sat down to dinner. ,His Eminence was marked in Isis attention to the British Officers, and by the Pope's special desire invited the Captain and as many Officers Amtkuen as could be spared from the ship to go to ROnle for a few days. After dinner the Cardinal returned to Ronie, where he told' the Captain apartments should he pre pared for himself and Officers, and every expense defrayed by ids Holiness.

The Pavilion is now in active prepahitiou fot the receptiun of the Patrict ItiORKT. The whole suite of apartments are .getting into readi. ness. 'The fctrnitute and the various ornaments of the rooms, whiab have been cleaned and re paired, are again reinstated. The wine-vaults and cellars are also 'replenishing with stores. The Journal de Paris says, that on the I9th there was a new fall of stones, or irrolites as they are called in a garden tat Stertsenburg, near Bonn, on the Lower Rhine. - One of them, it is said, weighed 100 ; others from 20 to 40. Their 141, which took place in a cherry garden, caused a horrible noise and deep trenches in the earth. The gardener, and several labourers who were at work, both saw and heard them fall ; she pro prietor, who was in his house with a trienc4 heard the noise of their fall. The colour of these stones is stated to be green, verging to black.; their Weight' like that of marble, and they resemble the residutim or scoria from the iron forge. After all, it is possible 'the story may be a hoax. Baron STEM . Well known for his patrioticser :Tices• in rousing Germany to shhke off the French yoke, has stow completely retired from public business, 'and lives very tranquilly on - his estates near Nassau. He has there constructed u superb temple, after a plan given him by GORTHE. The • (ladin is in the antique style, the ornaments and old Gothic copied from those upon and in the celebrated cathedral at Cologne. The temple is nearly completed.,On the door is the first verse of the well known Hymn of Luther, " Eineleste Burg ist t o sser • Gott." A foreign paper states, that the late Empress of AUSTRI4 •bas left a legacy to the celebrated GoltTflc. A 'French writer draws the conclusion, that England must be very distressed, because, he as sents, bets have latterly been few and trifling at Newmarket and other races. He adds, " Jolla Dull must-be well nigh ruined when he ceases to wager." A. Parisian Sign says, " Real Spanish and Dutch Wax made here."

HAYMARKET.—Lasi night this Theatre was ho noured with a visit by the Duke of WELLINGTON. His reception was enthusiastic. " 'God Save the King" was called for, and sung by 'Mrs. COVENRY and Mr. PyNa; " See, the Conquering Hero comes !" was also demanded, and performed by the Orchestra. His Grace was in high spirits, and bowed frequently to the patriotic acclamations of the audience, delighted as they were to have the Victor of .Waterloo in so snug a plaCe for a full view of him as the Little Theatre. We twer beheld a mote gratifying scene. The perforniances went off with great rout, though we are sorry to say, that liussru. met with an 'accident which compelled us to hear an apology made for him, instead of witnessing his huntourous iicting to the end of the evening. , At the close of the night the spectators who sat nu the Raffle side with the Doke of WELLINGTON rushed Uver to the oppo site varier to see' him, and a grand, but not dis agreeable, scramble took place for a, look at him before he retired. Tire house was crowded, and L the company very 'respectable. ENC;t4sn OPena.—Another comic Operatta, in one act, called Old Customs; or, New Year's Gifts, was produced last night at this Theatre. It is a translation front a French . piece, 'entitled laiett % mix Qtriproquo, the Happy Mistake, and , is from :the pen of Mr: BRAZLEY.---The tale arises out of the cltstnm of sending presents on New Year's, Day, when the characters personated by ‘l l aEttcu and Miss Lynts Icgt.i..Y send presents to the uncle of the former (13aitnir), the one the pro— ► duction of her needle. and the other -a cvurk of his brain—a MS. Comedy. The young Women, who entitled the uncle for the sake of the nephew, WAS misunderstood in her emotions, anti the uncle flattered himself they were intended tor him pro persOna. A contract of mat Huge is therefore entered into between the, Lady's father (CHAT TRULZY) and the uncle, in a mutual penalty, which the latter in the sequel is glad to pay to get rid of bargain.. It so happens that the uncle's t.er rata (RUSSELL) has his mother (Mra,Geoe t e.) come to see him, with an infant, which she for a short time entrusts to his care. His master coming in, be pops the child into the basket cautaining the young lady's present, and hence arises a good deal of equieuque as the joint production of herself and the nephew, And begs the uncle will take care of it, which', with many similar references, mistakenly applied to the child, entities a good deal of laughing among the audience—a good deal of disappoint -1 went to the uncle—and a ghod deal of happiness to the young folks, as it indueerthe uncle to give up his own interest in the frail fair one, as he imaginei her, anti resign her to his nephew, the supposed partner in her guilt. This consumma tims is no sooner effected, than the nurse returns, and claims her child, thus taking away the re proachof the young folks, anti leaving tiler)) to be happily worried. The piece was 'received with applause, anti announced for repetition. We must, however, protest against, the Econ . tioumess (if the ego:vogue and dialogue—both are too gross for tire Stage, anti mutt be amended.

A tali account of the wnole affair, .a c understand, is to, be given offleiaile, bit we thick it our duty to state shortly the extent of the ntisshief, to pre vent exaggerated accounts from grating enrrency. A 'soup kitchen was opened yc,ettlay in the Calton, principally from funds raised - by snleicrip tine in ,th.it neighbourhood, and tinder the snper intendance of sonic of the justices.' „Whether the. people who were to be benefited by this institu tion were dissatisfied at this mode of applying tt e fends, or wnether they ihere displeiAed with the broth itself, or with theionduct of-those whO diS• tributed it, or whether there were sortie mis chievous people who merely wished for a pre tence to raise a disturbance, it is impossible to say ; but symptoms 'of discontent certainly did appear about one o'clock, in the usual way of boys throw ing stones, and the windows of the person who managed the soup kitchen' were broken. Se ve:al of the justices immediately repaired to the place, and, by their firmness and moderation, re pressed the terbillencti of t he people • 'for some hours, brit, about four o'clock, their violence be - came so alarming, that it was necessary to pro core additional assistance, and, there being, no efficient police in . this suburb, the military were sent for, and the Sheriff of the county'ripaired to the spot. Four or fire of the most violent bf the 'rioters were seized upon,. and sent under the escorc of the military to jail. On their way to jail, and more particu l arly on their return terms it, the soldiers were, attacked with violent showers of stones and brick-bats, by whiCh the most of them have been severely hurt ; and, although they bore every injury with the utmost forbearance, they were obliged in•sonie instances to tire in selt.ole‘ fence. •One man in the crowd received a shot in the thigh ; and it is reported, but - with some un 7 certainty, that'another has been wounded in the leg or arm. This is all the effect preduced by the firing, as far.as we can ascertain ; but we have riia. douhilt will be greatly magnified in the private ac counts that ,go to a distance.--The military em ployed on this occasion were a small party of the 6th Dragoon Guards., and from eighty to an hundred of, the 78th .Highlanders."—(Glasgoth Herold), _ .

IRELAND. A few nights ago (we believe MOntlay night), the house of a, farmer, situated between Antrim and Langitantuore, was beset by a banditti having their faces blackened. They soon forced an en trance, and demanded his money, which they mild they knew he possessed. He Neured them be bad none, for that he had, on the previous day, paid his rent with it. They - reiterated theit de mand with dreadful threatening/1,10 width the pour man could only reply by again , assuring then be had paid his .rent with it. The barbarians Would not believe hint, and, imputing his denial to obstinacy, then proceeded to break'the tattles and chairs in his house, and,with these they kindled a large fire on the hearth. They then seized him, and stretched the wretched victim, on the blazing wood, where they held hiM, regardless ut his screams and .
