MEETING of the FRIENDS of CIVIL and RELIGIOUS LIBERTY in CORK. Cork, Thursday, Half-past Four o'Clock. A meeting of the inhabitants of this City took place So-day in the South Parish Chapel, and has this moment separated. At one o'clock, CHARLES BEAMISH, Esq. (of the ex tensive firm of Beatnish and Crawford) was called 'to the Chair by acclamation. Mr. O'Cotester.r. then arose, and spoke to the follow ing effect :—Yes, nay Countrymen, the country is tranquil, end the factions who disgraced her, the Black Hens and the Magpies —the three-year-old, and four-year-old--who 'pilled each others Wood, committing treason against the Majesty of God, and the laws of man, for which they found Juries flippant enough to send them exiles to Botany !'aY.—All these heard the voice of the Catholic Associa "en, they looked with shame upon their former enmity, t hey embraced as brothers, and they new seem more like nue large family than people formerly thirsting for each other's blood. I learn that in this county the Condors, the Barrens, and the Powers, the Keefes, and the Fitz gibbons, --the Keyes and the Fitegeralds, still pursue their feuds. Oh, the Orangemen wish for nothing so much as these quarrels,—will you gratify them ? No ; what the counties of Tipperary and Limerick are in peace, the county of Cork will be. This city is full of the Orange faction ; the leading men in the city are Orangemen. The Corporate offices are filled with them ; if a situation of rank or . Tower be vacant in the Corporate Magistracy, an Ora , ngernan fills it. To these nothing is more acceptable t han your disunion. We want no secret organ—we abhor Fret oaths. I wish, ye could trumpet it through the 1411,1 1 that whoever belongs to any Secret Societies fur nishes food to the insatiable appetite of the Orange uelnon of mischief. We are strong while we obey t he laws, we are powerless where we disobey them. You have one over you, the gallant Anglesea, God bless dim, who, I will answer for it, will protect you ; and I observe in the Tipperary Free Press, received this morn ass, that he said within the last week, that " he came to er itninister the laws, and would recognize as the beat pa triot hies who best - obeys them." You see he styles here the beet Irieh patriot who obeys the laws, and unless your 'ids be' deeply impressed with the pure and undefiled tenets of religion, which speak to the human heart, and Pre 'a prospect of future rewards, you in vain essay to "e this kind of patriot. The Biblical Saints of England eel( this country " unhappy, benighted Ireland ;" why, ther e is more crime in one county of England than in the * hole of Ireland. This is a proud and a glorious topic : l ye are obedient to the civil laws ; we have abolished crime; e are united, and shall we submit to crouch in slavery or t hraldom to creatures inferior to us ,to the very spawn of man kind? No !my countrymen, this cannot—it shall not—it will no t be•—(Shouts of applause, repeated several times, fol iTwed this declaration.)--I am not drawing an over t`Targed picture of the tranquillity of the laud. A short w oe since three robbers attacked the house of a Protestant Gentleman in Tipperary ; the Roman Catholic curate and 4 !* flock were leaving their chapel when the alarm was g iv en, they jumped over the ditches, scoured the country 4 Pursuit of the robbers, and one noble fellow actually 1 7 0 k tw o o f t h em pr i soners. Th e p o li ce were , I su pp ose , "*Y at the Brunswickers' Constitutional Clubs. At mother time, when they were absent at church, I sup -1,),(4e, the villagers who had a hint stopped a robber, and drove him out of the county. The people are the best Police : we all are honest now. Shakspeare, in that part of 3 facketle which is not acted, makes a mother tell her " 1 " , "MY child, be honest or you'll be hanged." " Why, Inatr en t hey are, are a ll knaves hanged ? the knaves are fools if are, for there are three knaves to one honest man !" In England there are, indeed, three knaves to one honest man. In Ireland there are one thousand honest men to one knave. At the late Dublin dinner a Judge, and one about to be a Judge, joined in the orgies. Master Ellis is the Judge; he gave 10,500/. for the office—he got it for value re e‘'ived• He came this circuit with me about twelve years ago. Patronage he did not want—the High Church party would willingly push him forward—nay, some of them tried him, and gave him briefs ; but in the end they tame to me, and while I was advancing in my profestion Master Ellis was not going back—for there was no " back" fo r him to go. It reminds me of a private, one Felix *earthy, in the Kerry Militia, who was generally late On parade. " Ah, Felix," said the serjeant, "you are al- Ways last." "Be easy, Serjeant Sullivan," was his reply, sure some one must be last !" So in the law some one Must be last, and Ellis was that one. As he was unable to get briefs as a lawyer, he thought he was qualified to be `judge, and he purchased the judicial office of Master of Chancerys At that dinner, too, Mr. Saurin made speech—this saint of Orangeism, who would pollute the sacred ermine of justice by party bigotry.— And Serjeant Lefroy was at this feast.—Lefroy, who Walks to Church on Suuday, with his children, each car qiug a prayer-book large enough to cover him, freighted With the family piety.—Lefroy, who cheered the Duke of C umberland, the Orange Saint of England, he to whom tl!e people of Engla n d re fu se d to entrust the education of the own son. lam not behind the curtain. I know not " why." I take the fact as I find it on the broad P scord of the Parliamentary proeedings. Stand forward, Meant Lefroy, and say, is this Saint of Orangeism one m father s , brothers, and sons ought to imitate ? If he ' 44 Poor, who would execrate him as you would ? but Plate sins with rags, a pin will pierce them through ; plate them with gold, no shield cad penetrate. 2tul at that dinner was the ghost of 98 ! of tortures, of ; 4x : t etc Claudius Beresford — he, from the murders j o u* riding-school. He said that a little blood (20 or )000 its ca ll a a littl e ) m i g ht recently have p u t us down, but now that streams, rivers of gore would be necessary. •,...He c a ll s hi mse lf a P ro t e stant, hut is not, f or he is no `" ,hristi an ; h e i s a co ll e a g ue of Lefroy—of the p ra iser of 1 / 4 ttriti's l e tt er .

We'd go some morning before breakfast, take them prisoners, tie their hawk,. and beat and scourge them well on a certain place, wbieh shall be nameless at present, and send these corrected Orangemen quietly home. This we would do constitutiAnully. I return to the Press. The Constitution is supported by. Catholic advertisements. I would not deal with any Citholic who would advertise iu it. Universal peace prevails from the Giant's Causeway to Cape Clear. The universal cry is, " The King—the Constitution—and Liberty of the Country." The Orange men would give any money for a bit of a rebellion—even a Whiteboy outrage, or a cow houghed, would be hand somely rewarded. But the police of the Catholic Associa tion will provide for that. I begin my agitation by mov ing a resolution of thanks to Mr. Dawson. Mr. O'Connell sat down amid deafening applause. The next resolution was for the establishment of a libe ral Club, which, among other objects, would endeavour to open the boroughs of Bandon, Youghall, and Kinsale. The first belongs to the Earl of Bandon ; the second is divided between the Duke of Devonshire and Earl of Shannon, who nominate the member alternately, and I do not know in whom the nomination for Kinsale is vested. A resolution of confidence in Sir N. C. Colthurst was passed ; but an adjunct, pledging the Meeting to support him at the next election, was opposed by Mr. O'Connell, on the grounds that circumstances might occur which would render it impossible to fulfil the pledge. The simple motion of confidence passed. Three cheers for Old Ireland were then given, and the Meeting separated. FRIDAY, FOUR o'CLocx.—The forenoon has been oc cupied in receiving names for the Liberal Club. REPRESENTATION OF BIRMINGHAM. (From Aris's Birmingham Guzette of this day.) INVITATION OF CHARLES TENNISON, ESQ. M.P. TO A PUBLIC DINNER. It will be recollected, that at a numerous and highly respectable Meeting of Rate-payers of the town of Bir mingham, held on Friday the 22d of June last year, - the HIGH BAILIFF in the Chair, the following Gentlemen were appointed a General Committee to forward the objects of the Meeting in obtaining a Parliamentary Representa tion, and to furnish to Members of Parliament such local information and aid as might be required : The High Bailiff (Geo. Attwood, Esq.), the Low Bailiff (J. T. Lawrence, Esq.), the Magistrates acting for the town of Birmingham, Messrs. Thomas Attwood, J. Y. Bedford, W. Blakeway, Win. Beale, George Barker, John Cope, R. W. Gem, S. 'Tertius Galton, Benjamin Guest, Rice Harris, Clement Ingleby, P. M. James, Chas. Jones, Chas. Lloyd, Thomas E. Lee, J. F. Ledsam, J. L. Mail liet, E. 'l'. Moore, George Nicholls, Thomas Osler, Joseph Parkes, James Pearson, Wm. Phipson, Joshua Scholefield, Charles Shaw, Timothy Smith, W. H. Stewart, Thomas Small, R. Smith, John Turner, Thos. Turner, Thomas Tyndall, Jas. Taylor, J. W. Unette, John Yale, Joseph Walker, and J. W. Whately. The Committee having been recently informed that Mr. Tennyson was at Leamington, held a General Meeting on the 6th inst. convened by circular, when it was unani•- mously resolved to invite Mr. Tennyson to a Public Dinner in Birmingham, as a mark of respect for his disin terested Parliamentary exertions in the House of Commons, in behalf of the town, on the East Retford Disfranchise ment Bill. The invitation was accordingly conveyed to Mr. Tennyson, through the medium of the present High Bailiff, Charles Shaw, Esq. Chairman of the Committee, and the following Answer was received, which the Com mittee have communicated to the public. "My dear Sir, " Leamington, August 11, 1826. " I have received your most obliging letter of the 9th instant, communicating a resolution of the Committee at Birmingham, and proposing to me, conformably to that resolution, the honour of a public dinner. " An invitation so flattering in its nature is most gra tifying to my feelings. Although my humble efforts on the subject to which you refer failed to accomplish their object, it affords me great satisfaction to perceive, that disappointment has not influenced the town of Birming ham to measure the anxiety and sincerity of those efforts by the result. We must recollect, however, that I shall have to resume them in the next Session of Parliament, when, on every account, it will be most desirable that I should still be found standing, unequivocally and exclu sively, upon public and independent ground. " To accept the compliment so kindly offered me could not indeed justify the charge already insinuated, that per sonal views actuate my conduct ; but yet it might give some advantage to those who would encourage such a be lief, and, at least, it might so identify me with the town, as to afford a pretence for imputing to me, hereafter, the language of delegation or of local partiality, when, in the discharge of nay Parliamentary duty, I would rest your claims upon the broad foundations of Constitutional prin ciple and national utility. " It has, by other means, been effectually demonstrated that persons of all parties and political feeling at Birming ham earnestly desire representation in Parliament. The country is not only satisfied of the urgent necessity from which this desire springs, but a general conviction prevails, that the peculiar and extensive interests connected with your town, and now totally unrepresented, are so import ant to the kingdom at large as to require an early compli ance with your wishes upon every consideration of justice and expediency. I am persuaded also, that if the Go verntnent should still, for a time, exert its influence to op. pose your fair pretensions, it must, and will, very shortly yield to the paramount authority of public opinion. " With these impressions---satisfied that the present condition of things is such as to promise a favourable issue at no distant period--and alive to the danger that a misin terpretation of any sentiments uttered at the proposed en tertainment might seriously affect our future proceedings —it is impossible for me, by accepting this invitation, to allow such an exercise of kindness towards myself to em barrass the cause in which we are engaged. Having thus explained the grounds upon which, for the sake of that cause, I am compelled to forego the high honour and gra tification within my reach, I beg you will accept for your self, and convey to the other Gentlemen from whom the invitation has proceeded, my sincere assurance that I shall ever remain deeply sensible of a distinction, usually destined to celebrate the achievement of some great public benefit, but which, by a generous impulse, has, in this instance, been awarded to an attempt hitherto unsuccessful. " I have the honour to be, My dear Sir, Your much obliged and most obedient servant, " CHARLES TENNYSON. " To Charles Shaw, Esq., High Bailiff of Birmingham." SUDDEN DEATII OF THE ADJUTANT-GE NERAL.-Sir HENRY TORRENS teas riding out on Friday; he had not proceeded far from his country seat (where be was residing), when his horse threw him. Sir HENRY was instantly conveyed home, when it was discovered he had burst a blood-vessel, and notwithstanding all the efforts made to save him, he expired on Saturday. MARRIED.—On the 20th inst. at Willing den Church, Sussex, by the Rev. HENRY MOORE, Mr. WM. Rose, third son of Mr. RICHARD ROSE, late of Sand wich, Kent, to Miss HANNAH SEYMOUR, eldest daughter of Mr. J. SEYMOUR, of Willingden. The Earl of JERSEY is now on a visit to Lord Duricasnox, at Besborough House, in this county. —Leinster Journal. The salmon fishing on the Tay has continued, durin g many years the great part of the summer, more successful than for past. About a week since, several very heavy draughts were taken, some of them enclosing, it is said, upwards of 100 fish at a time. At present the fish are not so numerous, but still considerably above the aver age of late years.--Perth Courier. Harvest may now be said to be general, in the strictest sense of the term, in the county of Elgin ' • and the weather during the past ei g ht d ays , w i t h one or two exceptions, has been all that the husbandman could wish for his labours in the field. The recent heavy rains have not proved injurious to the crops to any extent. They are excellent in quality, and abundant in quantity.—Elgin Courier.

PLYMOUTH, AUG. 23.—His Majesty's ship Py lades, 10, Commader P. .D. H. Hay, arrived on Thursday from the squadron under Sir H. Black wood, which she left about 80 miles west of the Lizard, on the preceding day. The Pylades is come in for repairs, having carried away her fore and main-top-masts. By her We learn that, since the alteration in the Repines trim, by restowing her holds, &e. her sailing is decidedly improved, and she now heads the Britannia on every wind. The Pearl also appears to have superior sailing qualities to the Pylades and Orestes. Arrived on Saturday the Antelope tender, to raise men for the Blockade Service. The Russian line-of-battle-ship Czar Constantine, 74, which has come into our harbour for repairing, is a fine fir-built ship, carrying 42-pounders on her lower deck—among these are four cannon bombs (42-lbs. long brass guns for the purpose of throwing shells), which the Captain of the Constantine says have been used in the Russian naval service since the time of Catherine, though the French have re cently laid claim to the invention. - The quarter deck bulwarks of the Constantine, which are raised several feet above the usual height, are planked with four-inch timber both inside and out, and her decks are higher than English ships of the same class. The most striking object on the main-deck is the sanctuary, before which stands a priest of the Greek Church, a tall personage with a tremendous beard, attired in a long black gown. The altar-piece is placed on a highly-finished mahogany frame ; it is enclosed by two squares of plate glass, and represents Saint George overcoming the Dragon, worked in silver richly chased; the helmet of the figure is of pure gold, and is surrounded by a glory of the same precious metal; the face is enamelled in natural colours; above the head of St. George are seen angels ascending, over which is placed a circular glory; in the centre are two figures, supposed to be the Virgin Mary and the Infant Jesus, and in the left corner is a dark figure in the act of suppliancy for mercy. The heads of all the figures appear as if occasionally moved by some internal machinery. The Constan tine is manned with a tine crew, mostly young men. About fifty caulkers and shipwrights from the Deck-yard are now on board : the main and fore-masts have been taken out ; her beams are to be fastened with iron knees ; and she is not ex pected to be ready before the Ist of September. We have reason to believe that the report of Vice-Admiral Sir John Gore being appointed to succeed Rear-Admiral Gage, in the command of the Naval forces in the East Indies, is erroneous ; it is generally understood that Rear-Admiral G. E. Hammond, C.B. is to be appointed to that station. By the last accounts, the Columbine was lying. at Bermuda, where a ship of war is constantly to be stationed as security, in the event,of any disturbance with the convicts employed there. PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 23.—The Glasgow, 60, Captain Hon. J. A. Maude, C.B. arrived on Monday from the Mediterranean; she sailed from Navarin on the 29th June; Corfu, the 3d; Malta, the 10th July; and Gibraltar, on the 4th inst. The squad ron blockading the coast of the Morea was com posed of the Ocean, Revenge, Blonde, Rattlesnake, Alacrity, Wasp, and Infernal and Etna bombs. On the north side of Candia were the Isis and Dart mouth frigates; the Warspite, 74, Dryad frigate, and Weazle, Pelorous, and Jasper, were at Egina. Ibrahim Pacha had proceeded with 1,500 of his chosen troops, in the direction of Patras, to endeavour to bring the Albanians to subjection, many of whom, it was understood, had revolted, and committed sad depredations. The greater part of the Turko- Egyptian troops were encamped at Modon and Na varin, apparently in a wretched state of misery, sub sisting on a reduced allowance of beans and rice, bread being an article of food they have scarcely tasted for some months. The whole force of the effective troops in the Morea is supposed to com prise about 15,000 men. The Pacha, finding the entire coast of the Morea so closely watched (bit vessels not being suffered to leave or enter any of the ports), had requested the senior officer of the British and French squadrons off Navarin, to allow an Eng lish sloop of war to convey a confidential Turkish officer to Alexandria, with despatches to Mahom med Ali Pacha, beseeching permission for his (Ibra him's) troops to evacuate the Morea, the soldiers be ing sickly, in want of provisions, and totally unable to subdue the Greeks. This request was acceded to,and the Rifleman consequently despatched, but she had not returned. The whole face of the country pre sented one scene of desolation ; immense fires were burning day and night, and the destruction by this element of the olive trees and vineyards was im mense. All the houses in the country were deserted, and falling to ruin. In short the apparent misery beggars all description. In the harbour of Navarin there were six Egyptian men of war, none larger than a corvette, except one of the line, which was driven on shore, and much injured by shot, in the battle of the 20th of October. She is now afloat, jury masted, and rigged, and was nearly ready to follow her crippled and disabled companions to Alexandria, where they remain mere hulks, kept afloat only by constantly working at the pumps; in so deplorable a condition indeed are they, that with out undergoing a thorough repair they can never leave the port. Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Co dringtou, is the Asia, left Corfu on the 3d July ; he was to take the Gulf of Patras on his way to the squadron off Navarin, whither he was proceeding for a few days, previous to his repairing to Malta, to await the arrival of his successor. The Musquito and Raleigh were at Malta, with the Russian fri gate Flora, which was performing quarantine. She had then been GO days under restraint, having lost five men by the plague in the Lazaretto; all symp toms of the disease had, however, disappeared.— The French squadron off Navarin consisted of one ship of the line, two frigates, one of GO and one of 50 guns, and other smaller vessels. Vice-Admiral De Rigny called off Modon on the 28th June, from Corfu, to the Levant. The pirates which formerly infested the Archipelago had ceased to annoy the trade. All was quiet at Alexandria. The Pacha, in the Delta, was superintending the erection of new works thrown up on his eastern frontier. The Falcon yacht, Lord Yarborough, which ex ' perienced very bad weather on her passage out, had been off Navarin, and was lying at Corfu on the 3d of July. Several invalided officers and men came home in the Glasgow, as well as Commander Ho them, the officers, and part of the crew of his Ma jesty's late sloop Parthian, the Glasgow having taken them from the wreck on the 20th of May. The Glasgow has been more than two years absent from l England, during which time she has been chiefly at sea. She sailed on Wednesday morning to Sheer- Iness, to be paid off, having previously discharged the crew of the late sloop Parthian. The Galatea, Capt. Sir Charles Sullivan, Bart. arrived on Thursday, from Plymouth. She is pre paring with all haste for the reception of Viscount Strangfoa, who proceeds in her to the Brazils, on a special mission. She will sail on Monday or Tues day. His Excellency Viscount Straagford arrived here this evening. On Sunday arrived the Harrier, 18, Commander Wm. Morier, and Cordelia, 18, Commander G. W. St. J. Mildmay, front Lisbon ; and Britomart, 10, Commander R. H. Manners, from Oporto. The two former sailed again on the following day for Chatharn. Two Neapolitan brigs arrived here on Monday, from Comma, with about 200 refugee Portuguese Officers, and a few privates, who formed part of the Constitutional Army, which retired into Spain on the advance upon Oporto of the Don Miguelites. So tenacious are these individuals of giving offence, by any unguarded expression, to those chiefs by whom they should have been gallantly led, that fearful of consequences, no harsher reflection will they cast upon their conduct than an admission of the unani mous feeling of surprise which they affirm pervaded all ranks when the cause was abandoned, Such a step, to them, was as much unexpected as it was one of chagrin. The Constitutional force consisted of 10,000 men (including peasantry). They agree that the great military fault committed by them was that of halting at Coimbra : had they advanced, they are of opinion the defection fro'ra Don Miguel would have beeneompleted; and that the pusillanimity which dictated a retreat from thence gave a death-blow to ,probable success. It was in this retreat that the heroes which sailed from this country in the Belfast steam-vessel joined them, who, instead of promptly electing a chief, with a determination strictly to ful fil his orders, wasted valuable moments in disputing priority. Had the matter been left to Gen. Stubbs, who is a native of Basingstoke, in this county, a dif ferent result would have ensued; in him the Con stitutionalists placed great trust, and until the other General Officers were jealous of his fame, all was going on prosperously. On the departure of Pal mella and Villa Flor, Saldanha pledged himself to shed his last blood in the cause; he had not, how ever, been left in command more than twenty-four hours, ere he disregarded his faith, and decamp ed. The command then devolved on Brigadier-Gen. Pisa, who, finding the army dispirited, retreated to the Northward; had he crossed to the South bank of the Douro, he might have avoided the force under the Marquis Chaves, and have had thereby Lisbon open to him; instead of which, by taking the course he did, the force of Chaves was conti nually threatening his right, and the Miguelites from Lisbon were pressing on his rear. On their arrival st the frontiers of Spain, they besought protection and an asylum in that country. Reception was pro. wised them on .condition that they laid down their arms; this being complied with, the officers were separated from the men, with a few exceptions ; the men, by order of the Spanish Government, were sent back to Portugal, and the officers directed to quit Spain within thirty days, with permission to embark for England or France, either from the ports of Ferrol, Corunna, or Vigo. The Spaniards, during their stay, were prohibited, by proclamation, from conversing with them, and the authorities stripped them of every article they had; the people, however, of Corunna received them with some show of kindness. Two priests of the liberal way of thinking arrived with the other sufferers. The Mar quis de Palmella has sent down one of his Secre taries (who arrived this morning), with 3,0001. for their relief. It is yet undetermined how they are to be disposed of; they have made a demand for bar racks, or a hulk, but Government, as yet, has not replied to it. The greater number are without pe cuniary means. Don Miguel was remarkably active in fitting out the late expedition against Madeira. He superin tended the equipment himself of the line-of-battle ship Don John, and from a state of ordinary pre pared her for sea, and manned and anchored her off Fort Belim, in five days, and then ordered the fleet to sea; but the Admiral begging a day's respite to put the ships in a little order, the reptest was granted. On the sixth day, Don Miguel was afloat at day-light, ordered all the troops into their boats, and made a mock invasion of Madeira, by landing on the south side of the Tagus in a most gallant manner, amidst salutes and cheers and sounds of na tional music. By letters from Madeira we learn that the Gover nor Valdez is determined to maintain the supremacy of Don Pedro in that Island ; he had called out and trained the militia, and had formed a corps of volun teers from among the mercantile classes, and to in sure still greater security, he had shipped off for Lisbon two or three Bishops, and some other supe rior Clergy, whose attachment was doubtful, and whose intrigues were dangerous. One of our cruizers from the coast of Africa, the Medina, Cap tain Suckling, having accidentally looked into Fun chal, while in search of pirates, was detained by the British Consul. There is but one safe landing in the Island, and that is completely overlooked by a fort. The Challenger, 28, Captain Fitz-Clarence, was spoken with on the coast of America, Ist August. The Centurion, 50 guns, razee, late Clarence, is ordered to be commissioned at Chatham, for the flag of Rear-Admiral G. E. Hammond, C. 8., who succeeds to the command in the East Indies. The Pallas, 42, at this port, is ordered to be brought forward for commission. Serne apprehensions have been entertained for the safety of the Russian Admiral's ship, which parted from the test of the squadron off Scilly. We enter tain, however, little doubt that she is making good her passage to Gibraltar; had she been wrecked, some portion of her spars, or casks, &c., would have floated ashore, and thereby indicated such a catas trophe. When the pilots quitted her, the Admiral was sufficiently aware of the situation of Sicily. Islands to avoid them, and qite alive to the circum stance that an indraft into St. George's Channel would endanger him, if he stood so far to the west ward as to bring him into the neighbourhood of the S.W. part of Ireland ; consequently he would tack in time, and lay over towards Ushant. His Majesty's ship Ferret has arrived at Jamaica from Cuba. The Menai arrived at Lima sth April, and sailed Bth for Valparaiso. The Rinaldo arrived at Jacmel and Falmouth 28th, and at Jamaica 30th of June. The Forte arrived at Rio de Janeiro from Monte Video 7th June, and the Ganges from St. Catharine 11th June. The Redpole sailed from Rio de Janeiro for Monte Video 11th June. The Pearl sloop of war, built by Mr. Sante, is found to possess excellent sailing qualities. On the 15th inst., in a trial with the Orestes and Pylades, she exhibited a superiority over each of these vessels. We have the pleasure to state, that the Lord High Admiral, with that attention which his Royal High ness has invariably shewn to merit, has promoted Mr. Charles Hotham, late First Lieutenant of his Majesty's ship Terror, to the rank of Commander, as the reward of his distinguished services in the Mediterranean, and of his recent intrepidity in going through a tremendous sea in a small boat, and saving the lives of the crew of a merchantman which had been wrecked on the coast of Portugal. The brig Nereid, Richard Simms, Master, arrived on Monday from Trieste, with a cargo of hemp for this dock-yard. The American ships, Richmond, 'of Richmond, from Rotterdam, for Virginia ; and the North Ame rican, from Amsterdam, for Philadelphia; are put into St. Helen's Roads for a fair wind. THE IS-INC.—It is untrue that his MAJESTY intends to pass the winter at Brighton. The Kwc'a apartments in Windsor Castle will be quite ready for his reception by the end of the autumn, and the usual Courtly circle will remove from the cottage at that period, to the Castle. It is reported, in the political circles, that the SPEAKEIL of the House of Commons is a candidate for tl,. office of First Lord of the Admiralty. The Duke of CAAIBRIRQE honoured Sir HERBERT TAYLOR With hi; company to dinner on Friday, at his villa in the Regent's Park. His Royal Highness, attended by Sir JAMES REYNETT, called at the Colonial Office, Downing-street, on Saturday, and transacted busi, ness with Sir GEORGE MURRAY. His Royal Highness entertained the Duke of SUSSEX to dinner at the King's p a l a ce, St. James's, in the afternoon, and afterwards the Royal Brothers honoured the performance of the new comic Opera, " Not for me," and " The Bottle Imp," at the Eng lish Opera-house, with their presence. MR. C. GRANT.—It is the intention of our townsmen to invite the late President of the Board of T ra de, now en a visit to his friends in the North, t4 public dinner in the Caledonian Hotel,, os l'uoeiasy, the 9th of September. There is bit one opinion here as to the propriety of On measure, and we have no doubt but the tnye;;ng will be numerously attended. Independently pf the local ties and associations which tend to bind the natives of this district to the fortunes of Mr. GRANT, hit eminent public services, splendid talents, and sputleaa flte grity, are well deserving such a mat*, of amobptioo.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL's THIS DAY The day was rolling away, as usual, without any betting, till a little incident gave a spur to the business. A gentle- man being pricked, made a bold offer of 6,000/. to 2,0001. agst Velocipede, and to post the needful!. This raised the mettle of all the thorough-bred turfsmen, who of course asked for 3to 1. " Done," was the reply, and the bet was snapped at in hundreds, with no small gout. The better, however, after very good humouredly ac commodating a few in this way, thought it more prudent to drop to 10 to 4, which he repeatedly offered in hundreds. The old Sportsmen, as in duty bound, felt grateful for this redeeming trait in the business, and closed busily at the following odds 21 to 1 agst Mr. Armitage's Velocipede 9 to 2 agst Colonel King's Bessy Bedlam 5 to 1 agst Mr. Petre's Colonel 6 to 1 agst Lord Milton's Ballad Singer 20 to 1 agst Mr. Theakston's Jour des Noces 30 to 1 agst Mr. Metcalfe's Economist. 30 to 1 agst Mr. Ridsdale's Master Burke 33 to 1 agst Mr. Thornhill's Merchant 40 to 1 agst Mr. Marson's Murphy 2000 to 15 agst Mariqueta, and Pictorisque.

EMBEZZLEMENT AT GREENWICII HOSPI TAL..—APPRENICNSION OF AUSTIN.--Mr. ROGERS, High Constable, learned, that after he absconded from Green wich, he proceeded to Milford, and from thence was closely pursued by two London Police-officers (Saram,,sr and FAnmen), who traced him to Waterford, whore, he had preceded them on Monday the 4th instato, s,ud there they lost him. Mr. ROGERS then with, ;Awls tact fol lowed up his inquiries here, and discovered he had escaped the vigilance of his ?,c.4 - auers, and had arrived in this city, where he put up at rather an obscure public house evidently to avoid suspicion. He had remained there three ihtya, when he was waited on by a relative, with whom he took his departure. This beie i g commiptirated to the City Sheriffs, they directed Mr. Roosis to proceed to the house of Ansmes brothet , in-law,, in Patrich•street, but having no authority for searching, he confined himself to some inquiries, which the brother did not seem alto gether dia2used to gratify ; and he left the house to con sult on the most prompt measures to be adopted on such au emergency. The Magistrates accordingly had recouPg. to the statutes, and discovered an obsolete Act Cyr a t Igewit one not generally k nown or ac t e d on , which %A de it penal for any person to harbour an offender i and renderea h im t liable to be tried as a particeps cnimtpis.

(FROM TILE TIMES.) There is no branch of the national policy the ope ration of whieh deserves to be more deliberately weighed than that which aims at the introduction of improvements into our commercial system. Th e adverse condition of trade develops itself so per u - Hedy through its visible and painful effect upon the. personal comforts of the people, that from humanity, as well as prildence, all who take an interest in the public welfare ought to seek every means of settling their opinions upon those general principles, by the adoption of which the most extensive field for ac tivity and enterprise can be obtained, and those mil lions of men whose only capital is their industry be best secured against the chances of sudden fluctua tion. There is another reason why the friends of improvement ought to search with diligence into the real working of e very l aw which has had a tendency because t h e pre j udices of those to t depart ure f rom old rules never to produce any perm anent changes in the system of British lfyaihl so mto t present itself as a c h ange for the worse, are commerce, t so seldom to be removed by even the most decisive ex perience of their fallacy, that reasonabls men are ofi cheated into an abandonment of the soundest views of legislation, by forbearing to ascertain. from an inquiry ' into facts how little importance ought to be assigned to the loudest and most pertinacious clamour. Every body knows the violence with which the first pro positions any monopoly have b een al wnjayoyse d at r o parties who fancied th ey h a d e expence of ethers. Thi s , u,,.resisted bptyehne the in g doubtedly, has not been confined to the trading classes, or to half-educated men in the middle tea of life. The most grinding monopoly that ever ~. vas iefficted upon a nation,—even that which intercepted the loaf of bread, and told the poor they reust not eat it but at a price which their wages prohibited them from paying,—that cruel monopoly has been bellowed for more furiously, and maintained with more inexorable and heartless rigour, by those who assume to be the most " enlightened," and " gene rous," and " high-minded" members of the commu nity, than did ever the most paltry corporation exhi bit in struggling for the abuse of a Royal charter, or the most griping tradesman in his efforts to put down a rival shop. It is true, however, that although the mercantile orders here have not been the only or most obstreperous grumblers when attempts were made at any time to enlarge the foundations of our commercial system, they have nevertheless, in their corporate capacities, if we may so speak, each and all of then], whenever their own departments of commerce or manufacture happened to be the subject under consideration, opposed, by every effort short of physical outrage, the slightest approach to any improvement in the law of the country which sought to give more freedom to trade.. The two bodies which most distinguished themsclvl s by this Gothic spirit were the shipowners and the silk manufacturers. Mr. Huskisson, it might have been hoped, would long since have silenced both de scriptions of murmurers, though he cce a id not con ciliate or reclaim them, by the masterly exposures which he made in Parliament of the utter ground lessness of their complaints. Nevertheless, there are few Tory papers which do not take these very subjects of silk and shipping, in spite of experience and of fact incontrovertible, as groundwork for abuse of the free trade system, and of menace that the old monopoly shall in all directions be resumed. On Saturday we published a few official documents, which we trust would have the effect of impressing still further on the minds of men, not wholly im penetrable to conviction, the folly which is still practised by the monopolists. From these tables it appears that the British tonnage which entered in wards and cleared outwards from and to all parts of the world in the year 1814 was 1,800,000; in the year 1827, 2,800,000 (fractions not included.) That the number of British seamen in 1814 were 116,000 ; in 1827, 171,000. Again, that the foreign seamen engaged in navigating foreign vessels to and from the United Kingdom, were in 1814, 33,000; 1827, 39,500. Thus the British seamen have increased under the free trade system, about .55,000 men ; and the foreign seamen about 6,000. So much for the ruin of our new navigation laws ! With regard to the silk trade, the quantity of raw silk imported into the country in 1823 was 2,500,000 lb. ; in 1827, 3,100,0001b.,—an increase in four years of ahnust 25 per cent. So much again for" ruin." (FROM THE MORNING CHRONICLE.) In our notice of the work of Colonel Evans, on Saturday, we observed, with regard to his suggestion of an intervention, for the purpose of settling Tur key in such a way as should afford security to Rus sian commerce, without the evil of Russian occupa tion, that " we saw great difficulties in the way of all his modes of disposing of Turkey," The " ob jects of proposed attainment," by an armed interven tion, " might.," says Colonel Evans; " be— " First—The inviolable freedom of commercial transit between the Mediterranean and Black Seas, as far, at least, as mutual rights, mutual safety, and the mutable nature of such affairs admit of. " Second—A fair indemnity to Russia for:the sequestra tion of ships or cargoes in Ottoman ports, supposing that she can establish a claim on that score. 1 , ~ Third—An equitable territorial adjustment 'aetween the Turks and Greeks —such as may lead to perannent se curity, by means of the eventual establiabuyent of a new Christian State, or confederacy of States., on this side the Hellespont--aud such as is consistent ''.vith the general in terests of civilization. HeueefortY,, also, the Turks to live within the Greek territorie4, and Greeks within those of the Turks, without a right of appeal for protection to foreign States. " These,' or at least the greater part of them, are what Russia, above all other powers, could not, with any colour of propriety, object to. If she does, then the mask is dis carded, and the whole universe must see what her real pur- pose is. They are, with very little modification, the ends she proclaims to be her own." Colonel Evans throws out several suggestions as to the manner in which, " these desirable arrange silents" might be accomplished. He thinks that an European domain might remain, and be guaranteed by the Sultan, bounded on the one side by a line running along the summit of the Balkan, and on the other by some natural demarcation ; or, if that cart not be conveniently found, by a line due north and south, passing westward of Adrianople, or by the Marit4a river. This wo u ld l eave the Turks a sTore several fold more f ert il e than Scotland, not. towns mighteraey b of e above a third less th an i t i n area, and frilly capabl e 1 s of supporting th e a b ove population. The Gr ee k are not yet strong enough to be entrusted with, the gates of th e B o sphorus; but at some f uture period they will be able to drive " the se irreclaini b fanatics (tbo Turks) , out of Europe, Th ere 4 t e cwohriul s d tian be Ilcueharest, Philopopolis, or Salonica, Athen s , S ze. If protected bY the great Powers d ur i ng a short mi ncereipaatiln creating a fed nority, they would soon be a bl e to protect them selves." H e , thinks c ommerce might be secured by ceding the ends of t h e M armora to a secondary roar i t i me state, or b y g i ving up to the occupation of a w o. all European f orce the tw or three castl es on t h e narrow p ar t o f the Dardanelles. In our opinion all these plan s are objectionable. In fact, if Russia States, ample meanswho se for principal could be brought to accede to them, the question would, ere long, be again forced on the attention of Europe Ity q,uarrela between the Greeks and Turks, which would again bring Russia on the stage. The better way would be to attempt a permanent settle ment of Turkey in Europe. What objection could there be to:the making it a substantive State, and Pla 6 zig at the head of it some enterprising Prince of one of the third-rate German Houses ? We say German Prince, because that would obviate the ob jection to individuals connected with any of the Great States. Were the great Powers to furnish each a small contingent of troops for 10 or 15 years, and to guarantee a loan which would enable him to organise and pay an army, and thus maintain him self till the resources of the territory could be made duly available, we do not see why a durable king... ' ,lom might not thui be founded. The State might ' be called the Greek Empire, or Greek Kiugdom, it is clear, that if we wish to prevent the perma nent occupation of Turkey by Russia, we must, at 31 "19 03 10 .P 6 9 24 10 24 10 24 9.
