F r i en d s , t h e • Public, that the Contractors have .actually disposed of upwards of 3,000 Tickets; and when it is considered that (dtiv 5,000 were on Sale, and all of them to be drawn the First Day, (9th of Next Month) it is to be feared there will not be anv of the First Day's Tickets left for Sale for the last Week, and Purchasers then will. only be able to buy part of the Second 5,000, which will not be drawn for a Month after, and, of course, cannot hare any of the Capitals that may be drawn the First Day. T. DISH consequently recommends an eat lv purchase ; and this be does the more confidently, from his knowledge of the above being a fact, as he has had, fur his own individual Sale, upwards of TWELVE HUNDRED TICKETS; and it has generally been the case, that snore Tickets are sold in the last Three Days, than in ail the time previous; but now that cannot he the case, for should the demand continue in the proportion it has hitherto been, there will NOT BE NEAR TICKETS SUFFICIENT, Tickets and Shares are selling by 'l'.

A Court of Common Council was held yester day at Guildhall, at which there Was a very nu merous attendance of Members. The LORD MAYOR communicated to the Court the attendance upon his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, with the Address end Petition agreed to at the last Court, respecting the Man chester Meeting, and laid before them his Royal Highness's Answer thereto, which was read, and a motion being made by Mr. Fayell, that the An swer be entered on the Journals, an amendment was proposed, by adding the words " most gra• cious," and after much debate between Mr. Al derthan iWiithman, Messrs. S. Dixon, Williams, James, Hurcombe, &c. the question was put, and the amendment was carried by a very considerable majority. A letter from Mr. Alderman Bridges, the Lord Mayor elect, declaring his consent to take upon him the said office, was laid before the Court, and read, and ordered to be entered. The LORD MAYOR laid before the Court a tie tailed Report relative to the conduct of Mr. She. riff Parkins, which was read, ,and, after so me discussion, the matter was referred to a Commit tee, who were immediately appointed, consisting of all the Aldermen and a Commoner out of each ward, to inquire into the same, with power to apply to the Court of. Aldermen (or finch papers. and documents as they' might think proper. _ . A Petition was 'presented by the Fellowship Porters, complaining of the innholders, which was referred to the Committee for General Par. poses. The Watc'h Act tor the year ensiling passed. The Committees of City Lands and Brid4e house Estates presented several, Reports for Leases and other matters, which were read, agreed to, and ordered. The Court agreed, upon a Report from. the Navigation Committee, recommending opposition to an application'to Parliament tor a Canal to be made from Boulter's Lock, near Maidenhead, to the Grand Junction Canal, and referred it to the said Committee to oppose the same accordingly. The Tithe Committee presented a voluminous detailed Report of their proceedings during the last Session of Parliament, which was read, and ordered to be entered on the Journals.

CARROLL. BOLIVAR. We have often warned our Countrymen against the alluring accounts which are given of the state of the revolted Spanish Colonies, because those accounts have seduced many of them into misery and ruin. Colonel HIT'.EsLeY, and several other British Officers, who have been the victims of their own romantic credulity, have published nar ratives, for which the world 'is much indebted to them, as they may dissipate delusion and save many from inevitable wretchedness. The follow ing character which this Gentleman has given of the great Leader of the South American Revolt will spew British Officers what they are to ex pect from such a man, whatever may be his pro fessions : " 1 have before said that Bolivar's personalop pearance is neither striking nor prepossessing.— There is nothing about him, or belonging to him, either in manners, figure, or conduct, to command attention. The authorities which first placed him at the head of the Republic, and made hint ' Sn orers-re Director of time Provinces of Venezuela and New Grenada, and Captain-General of its armies,' also gave him power to enforce obedience to his mandates ; and, from the constant exercise of that authority, he'has leashed not only to order, but to enforce submission to his will upon all occasions: Those who planted him in the situation he, now holds, were by turns his slaves and his victims, even under the mask of liberty, freedom, and in dependence.. " The smallness of his stature, and tile mean ness of his figure and physiognomy, would rather create contempt than respect ; nor would he seem' entitled to -command obedience to his orders, it the fire of his eyes, in sudden gusts of passion, and moments of displeasure, did not tell yon, that Bolivar himself knew, and felt, that he could not only threaten but execute vengeance. He pos sesses neither gratitode,. honour, liberality, sym. pathy, nor humanity ; yet he pretends that his heart anti disposition are congenial to all those sentiments, and constantly act in unison. " Personal courage he is gifted with, even to a fault. He has, however, never yet achieved any action worthy of renown, or equal to the real in rrepiditv with which he i s en do we d ; b ecause rear sort, ju"d i onent, armil even necessary discretion, h a ve been wanting. " has neither talent nor abilities for a Ge neral, and'easiecially for a 'Conithritirier•in-Chief. Time numerous mistakes he haS made throughout the whole of his eampaigns•for'the last eight years have nearly desolated the Provinces, and annihi lated the. population. The repeated surprises he has experienced from the enemy (already seven), prove my assertion, and bear me out in declaring that any one of them . would have' disgraced porars,guard, • " Tactic, movements and Manoeuvre, are ii'un known to him as-to the lowest of his troops. All idea of regularity, system,'or the common routine of an army, or even a regiMent,'he is totally un acquainted with. Henze arise all the disasters,he meets, the defeats he suffers, and his constant ob ligations to retreat whenever opposed to the foe. The victory which be gains to-day, however dear ly pUrchased (of which his list of killed and miss iog, 'if he culls for or keeps such details, must evidently convince him) - is lost to-Morrow, by some failure or palpable neglect on his part. Thus it is, that Paez was heard, to tell Bolivar, after the action of Villa del Cora, that he would move off his °Wit troops, 'and act no more with him in command ; adding,. never lost a battle wherein I acted by myself, or in a separate command ; and I have always been defeated when acting in con- . cert with you, and under your orders.' "The native and black troops (freed slaves) can, and Irv, dash on with madness, which they call bravery, the result of revenge, hatred, and an abhorrence againit the Royalist party. The feel-. jags of retaliation for their brethren and fellow soldiers taken prisoners in the various actions or skirmishes with the enemy keep alive all those par- lions of inhumanity, Cruelty, and blood-thirsti ness; and they are more savage in nature than the brutes that inhabit the woods and mountains of their country.—Yet, under the name of courage, they will rush, without order, tegulatity, or dis cretion, upon the enemy, resolved at that moment •to conquer or die ; sod if in this onset they are beaten or repulsed, and find themselves able to go about,' and to retreat, the devil take the . hindermost' appears to he the general cry ; for they all continue to run limit they reach a place of safety ; and it is alloWed by the Royalist troops themselves:, that the patriotic army, with Bolivar at their head, was never beaten its this respect. " The final slaughter of the prisoners, atter time battle, or during the retreat, is completely acqui esced in by Bolivar, who has himself condescend ed to witness this scene of butchery and infamy yet it must be admitted that Illorillo more than keeps pace in the sanguinary species of warfare, the example of 'Which was first set by the Royalist troops, and became to the latest moment a mea smite of retaliation, and, without (Inman, will con linos so, until mutual ideas of humanity invest the ndnds of the contending parties, • " Bolivar would williugly ape the great man— ila aspires to be a second Buonaparte in South America, without possessing a single talent for the duties of time field or the cabinet. He would be King of New Grenada and Venezuela, without genius to command, consequence to secure, or abilities to support the elevated station to which his ambhion most assure dl y aspires. In victory— in transient prosperity—be is a tyrant, and dis- plays the feelings and littleness of an upstart. He - gives way to sudden gusts orresentmet)t, and be comes, in a moment, madman and (pardon - the expression), a blackguard ;.• throws himself into his hammock (which is constantly slung for his o'se), and utters , curses 7 and imprecations 'Ton all atotin,l him, of the most disgnsting . nnd diabolical na;ure. In deteat, in danger, •in retreat, 'he is perplexed, harassed, and contemptible even to weighed down by disasters, which he has neither skill nor strength of mind to encounter, to ligh!en„, or to remove. In this state he appeared to we at the retreat to and from . S.in Fernando, when lie looked the image of misery ald despair." TilE CO LO WE ICCA NAD (From the Quebec Gazette to the 6th of Sept. last) QUEBEC, SEPT. G.—Two vessels have returned to this port on their second trip this season. one of which has had' only 40 days passage from Bris tol, but she has brought no late papers. Letters have been received by one of the late arrivals, which state that assurances had been given on the part of Govervinent, to Merchants in London concerned in the Canada trade, that the proposed Duties on Lumber, would not take effect on the importations of 1820. We are sorry•to find that the Fire in the woods which we mentioned a week ago as having done so much damage at Rimouski, has been equally destructive in other parishes in that neighbour hood. it still continues to rage with, undialinish ,ed fury. • • The following list of Catholic Bishops in Bri, tiih North America, 'many of whom have lately been appointed or promoted by the See of !tome, is given in a French publication of the 23d May last, viz.:— Mr. Plessis, Archbishop of Quebec. Mr. Puget, Bishop of Saida and Coadjutor of Quebec. BUrke, Wallop of and Apostolical Vicar at Hali fax. Mr. Gißow, BiShop Of Hyposopolis, and Apostolic Vicar at Newfoundland and Cape Breton. Mr. M'Eacharn, Bishop of Rosen, and Vicar-General of the • Archhisbup of Quebec, fur New Brunswick and Prince Ed- ward's IsiAnd. Mr. Macduanell, Bishop of Regina, and Vicar-General of the Archbishop of Quebec fur Upper Canada. The same Paper states that the measures taken by the Pope on this occasion, were coneeried. with Mr. Ompteda, the Envoye of Lianover to the Court of Rome. THE WEATHEE.—The excessive beats which prevailed in the early part of this month, were • moderated by some thunder showers on the 12th instant. The Thermometer, however, rose on several days of the following week, to 90 in the shade. On Sunday last there was a strong smith, westerly wind, followed in the .evening and dm- ir.g - the night , by heavy showers. Since that tin,e, the nights have become cool, and on Tues. day morning there was a slight frost, but not suf ficient to do any injuty. Finer harvest weather than the present, was never known, and several of the Farmers in this neighbourhood, have lions. ed a great part of their wheat in excellent order. The crops of this grain are fully ripe through out the District, hut there is a' general complaint of want of hands. On Tuesday last, in the Cathedral Church of Quebec, the Lold Bishop of this Diocese, as sisted by the Rev. Official Mountain, the Hon. and Rev. Dr. Stewart, Mr. S. Mountain, Mr. Jackson and Mr. Mills, conferred Deacon's Or ders epon Mr. M. Harris, M. A. of Trinity Col lege, Dublin, and Mr. It. R. Burrage, of Bennet College, Cambridge. Alluding to an Article on the Timber allies, copied from The Morning Post of the 14th June list, the Editor says, it relates to a matter Of general interest in this Colony, and on the sub ject of which much alarm has prevailed among the numerous descriptions of persons immediately CM'. cerned in the Lumber Trade.. We believe that the sense . of this Colony, on the subject of the proposed alterations of the duties o❑ Lumber from the Colonies, is well known in treat Britain. It hos been manifested repeatedly, in memorials frOm the Merchants, and from the t vvo branches of the Legislature. .We cannot ask that Great ' Britain should sacrifice what site conceives to be the general interests of the Empire, to our parti cOlar interests ;, bait we trust, that before she takes any step which may destroy the most im portant branch of her trade to the northern Ame rican Colonies, she will be very certain that her decision is not founded in error. Wrong mea. sures of this nature very seldom admit of any remedy. If the expensive establishments which enable us, under the present duties, to maintain a competition with the Baltic, are once destroyed, they will probably never be renewed.. Without a. market for aoy part of our produce, we able to purchase nothing abroad, and must just be contented to live within ourselves. . On Thursday last a numerous party of Free holders and lunabitants of the Borough ot Peters field gave au excellent dinner ot game, and all the delicaci , s, of the season, at the Red Lion Inn, to NATHANIEL ATCHESON, Esq. and few of his private friends, to celebrate the progress which has been.made in the cause of independence in that Borough, ard.in the proceedings which have been commenced against the -Trustees of 'Cburcher's College for the investigation ot their accounts, in order that the benevolent intentions of the founder may in future be strictly carried into effeet, so that none but the sons of the towns people be admitted on the foundation. • .1-11,:sur CLIFTON ATKINSON, Esq. in .the Chair. After dinner the usual loyal and constitutional toasts, with _whets appropriate: to the occasion, were given and drank with the warmest plaudits, anti the company were highly amused with several glees and duets, which were sling in the course ot the evening.— (Hampshire Telegraph, Oct. 16.)
