Her vessels have also, for the last three months, conveyed to South America the dispatches of our Government, and even its new Agents." If this be true, it is not astonishing that the French should deny that any armaments are to sail from their ports, for intrigue and cor- ruption are not only the safest, but perhaps the sole mer.ns of giving Spain a•chauce of recovering a footing in South America. CITY, Twelve o'clock.—Cousols opened this morning at 904 to 902 for the Account, and 90 to 901 for Money, with a good deal of business doing in the earlier part of the morning, and it is still the general opinion that they will have a further rise.—Consols arenow 90-} for the Account. I do not hear, up to this hour, of any Express having arrived from Paris, nor have we any news or reports in the City. FOREIGN MARKET.—Spanish Bonds opened at 24i, and got up to 25L—There is a great deal doing in the Mexican Loa-n, which opened at `2 l t, and got up to 4 per Cent. premium. —French Scrip has also risen, as well as the New Austrian Loan. Half-past Twelve o'Clock.—Alth ough 100,0001. Consols have been sold for 90, Money, they still keep rising, and are, up to this hour, 90, with a good Market.

JORDAN.—Several articles, proceeding from ignorance or malignity, have ap peared in th e d a il y pr i nts, ten di ng to ma k e th e public believe that this excellent actress was " deserted at her utmost need." All these re ports are wholly without foundation ; but as they appeared to reflect on the character of her former high protector, Mr. BARTON, the private Secre tary of the distinguished personage alluded to, and who was the agent in all the pecuniary ar rangements relative to the departed actress, has deemed it necessary to come forward in vindication of his Royal Patron. -- We regret that we have not room for the statement this day, as it proves that the great Personage in question, far from neglecting, con ducted himself with all possible kindness and generosity towards the deceased, who was un fortunately obliged to leave this country, in con sequence of having implicitly trusted, and signed blank hills in favour of a person who had mar ried into her family, whose embassments she pitied, and on whose duty, integrity and grati tude, she thought she might confidently rely.— Mr. Barton is a gentlemen of great talents, as well as of most respectable character, and we shall present his statement to our readers on Mon day next, from respect to truth, as well as in justice to the high character who has been so wantonly aspersed by anonymous malevolence. Mr. Secretary CANNING will entertain a dis tinguished party at dinner to-morrow, at Glou cester-Lodge. Viscount-Gamir.LE, we are sorry to hear, is confined with a fit of the gout. Mr. HYLTON JO.LIFFE, before he returned from Petersfield on Tuesday last, left several no tices to be served on his tenants, to quit the houses and small pieces of land they held under him in that borough : some of these individuals had not interfered in the proceedings of either of the parties in the town, whilst the others were per sons of acknowledged respectability, who had refused to lend themselves to the countenance of the political abuses which had so long prevailed there, and had shewn a laudable and proper feeling in resisting them, and in causing an in quiry to be made into the abuses and mismanage ment of Churcher's College. KING'S THEATILE.--A. grand rehearsal of the new Opera of Zelmira took place at this theatre yesterday, with all the performers, a full band, and the whole of the scenery and splendid pro perties : it commenced at twelve, and was not over till past four. Madame CoLuctost ROSSINI, who plays Zelmira, is new to an English au dience. In person she may be safely pronounced a fine commanding figure. Her voice and style assimilate nearer to that of Madame Fono a than any female singer we recollect upon the Italian stage. Her execution is very great, and her articulation distinct.—lt would not be fair to go generally into the merits of the opera from a rehearsal ; but the Trio Agilato between this lady, CualoNi, and GARCIA, in the second act, struck us as being parti cularly impassioned and impressive. The Finale strongly reminded us of the one in Donna del Lugo; the solo parts allotted to Madame Cot,- IRON ROSSINI, had a most imposing effect. As far as we could judge, the combinations of scenery and stage incident will form a most splendid spectacle. The processions are nume rous and very effective. ROSSINI conducted the Opera in person, and gave great delight to the performers, by the distinguished union of great judgment with the most gentlemanly urbanity of deportment ; he will preside at the piano for the first three nights. The whole character of the music struck us.as being more unique than any of his former compositions. .-- r:,,,-,,,, v 1. , 4 4 \ , ,e 3 t -l f. g A .. -, I t :: t) ;,,,0.i .

BRIGHTON, JAN. 22.—The upper class of domestics, on the Royal establishment,. were permitted to entertain their friends with a Ball and Supper ' at the Palace, last - night.— The party, in number, reach e d to about one hundred, and sumptuous, indeed, was the ent er t a i nmen t. Th e Ki ng , w h o delights in beholding the happiness of all about him, conde scended to visit the scene of festivity, and appeared highly gratified at the hilarity which it exhibited. The Stewards' room, properly decorated, was used for dancing, and where the lively diversion was continued until nearly six o'clock this morning. The' second class of domestics are to be allowed their annual entertainment, similar to the above, to-morrow evening.

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.--A few days ago a Gentleman in this neighbourhood, while de voting a few hours to the sports of the field, ob served, at some little distance, a living object, which he immediately conceived to be a full grown heron, resting on the ground, or engaged in fishing one of those tiny rills with which almost all our mosses are intersected.— The opportunity, of course, was too good to be neglected ; the sportsman called in his dog, cocked, presented, and fired, and that with too sure an aim as the event proved ; for on going up to the spot, what was his surprise to find that, in place of a bird, he had wounded the leg of an old' woman, industriously engaged in gathering together and piling up " her wee pickle peats." From the situation of the ground, the sportsman merely got a glimpse of the old woman's head ; and as her back, moreover, happened to be turned to him at the time, her mulch, or 'overlay, bore a pretty close resem blance to the snowy plumage that adorns the heron. 'Lle shot, however, was by no means deadly ; at least so says the surgeon who ex tracted the lead drops ; and from the well known liberality of the unconscious assailant, the old woman is more likely to gain than lose by the accident --(Dumfries Courier.) JAMAICA. Jamaica Papers to the 23d of November have arrived, but they contain little worth extracting. The following is a copy of the circular of Lord Bathurst, which has been fre quently referred to in the Colonial papers, but has not before been quoted entire : t " Colonial-Office, Downing-street, May 24, 1823. " I take the earliest opportunity of communicating to you the resolutions which were unanimously agreed to by the House of Commons on the 15th instant; and in order that you may better understand, not only-the general impression. of the House in coming • to these resolutions, but more particularly the. prin ciples which have guided his Majesty's Government in propos ing them, and which will continue •to guide them in the mea sures to be adopted for the furtherance of the important objects to which they relate, I have enclosed the best report that I can procure, although it may not be altogether a correct 'one, of the speech of Mr. Secretary Canning. " Ido not propose, in this dispatch, to call your 'immediate attention to all the subjects to which that speech refers; but to confine myself to one of - those points on which I have not found that any-difference of opinion exists, and which, being simple in its nature, may be at once adopted, viz.—An abso lute prohibition to inflict the punishment of flogging, under any circumstances, upon female slaves: The system of nie . - liorating the condition of slaves, to which his Majesty's Go vernment stand pledged by these resolutions, cannot better commence than by the adoption of a principle which, in mak ing a distinction of treatment between male and female slaves, cannot fail to raise this unfortunate class generally above their present degraded level, and to restore to the female slaves that sense of shame which is at once the ornament and protection of their sex, and which their present mode .of punishment has tended so unfortunately to weaken, if not to obliterate. " I should therefore have communicated to you his Majesty's commands, that the punishment of flogging should for the fu ture cease with respect to female slaves, had I not been desirous that the prohibition should proceed from the Court of Policy, as I am unwilling to deprive them of the satisfaction which I • am sure they will feel in originating and supporting a measure which has been approved of by all classes. " With respect to the practice of driving the slaves to their work by the sound of the whip, and to the arbitrary infliction of it by the driver-as a stimulus to labour, lam equally disposed to trust to the Court of Policy to originate measures for the cessation of this practice, which I need not state must be repugnant to the feeling.; of every individual in this country. ,I am aware that a necessity may exist for retaining the punishment of flog ging with respect to males, though, at the same time, it Should be subject to defined regulations and restrictions; but, as an immediate measure,.l cannot too strongly recommend that the whip should no longer be carried into the field, and there dis played by the driver as the emblem of his, authority,. or em ployed as the ready instrument of his displeasure. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant ; (Signed) - " BATHURST." . THE ARMY. The Recruit', which were enlisted in Ireland, for the 95th Regiment of Infantry, and which embarked on tlt 12th inst. at Waterford, have disembarked at Bristol, and will arrive in divisions on the 24th, 26th, and 27th inst. at Win chester, where the head-quarters of that corps is at present stationed. The William Harris, Fanny, Indian trader, and Prince of Orange, transports, which sailed from C or k, h av i ng on h oar d the 23d (Royal relsh Fusileers), will, on their arrival at Gibraltar, bring home the 75th Regiment, and will subse quently convey the 77th (East Middlesex) Regiment of Foot from Cork to Jamaica. The detachment of the 7th (or the Prince Royal's) Regi ment of Dragoon Guards, which arrived at Liverpool on the lath inst., is ordered to embark forthwith for Ireland. The 26th Regiment, under the command of Col. Oglander, which was quartered in Cork a considerable time, has marched for Kinsale, to exchange.with the .57th : which has since arrived in Cork.

EMBARKATION OF THE 77TH REGIMENT FOR JA MAICA.—The first division of this regiment marched from Far moy this morning for Ballinacura, where it was to be met by the City of Cork,steam-packet,and proceed in her for the Lleau fort transport at Cove ; the second division, with the baggage., will take the same route to-morrow morning, and be put on board the Dorothy Forster and Palembang transports. It is expected that these vessels. will be ready for sea towards the close of the week, and sail for their destination.—(Cork aller eantik Chronicle, .lan, 19 ) that on the beef and pork in tenldVeod h a a s v a e Shoe l ar)(11 ; for those troops during the voyage (shipped at an E ng li s h port ) , b e i ng in spurted by that fwis, Agrrbt for intelligent officer, Mr. ac very intelligent in this harbour, they were deemed unfit for the service, and or dered to be replaced from the stores of an emi. „ Ni t provision-hous e in this city.

Nowni CARor.TN GOLD. -A Gentleman in Raleigh has in his possession a lump of the pure ore found in Anson, weight about WI). and worth 940 dollars. Another Gentleman, well informed on the subject, states, that larger pieces than this had been found in the above counties, and that there was at present, in the Branch of the State Bank at Salis bury, a bar of this gold, which, after being purified, was worth between 5 and 600 dollars. These large pieces of gold are met with occasionally, though what is collected by the persons who are engaged in the search, is mostly in small particles, which do not much more than comp e ns a t e th em f or th e i r labour.--] Were the business conducted with proper skill, it is supposed it might prove a source of wealth to its proprietors, and be of great advantage to the State, in adding to its metallic medium. New York Paper.) Thu Prejudice which, among the unreflecting, formerly existed against Stock Prizes, has now completely subsided, it being discovered that the Number of the X 20,000 Prizes is thereby greatly increased, SEYEN being allowed instead of Tnamg, whilst the difference in value is very trivial, even at present, and they will exceed the Money Prizes before the Lottery is finished, if the price continues to advance as it has since the Contract was made. The aiiportioning a part of the Scheme to Money and part to Stock is creditable to Mr. SIVEWRTGIIT'S judgment, as the result at present shows the Public will thereby gain about X 7,000 extra, which is by no means an insigni ficant Additional Prize. At the IliHigh Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh, on the 19th instant, Margaret Boug was arraigned on the charges of having murdered an old woman named Elizabeth Low, or M'Laren, at Dunning, Perthshire, in the month of February, 1818 ; or of theft and reset of theft, in stealing from the house of the deceased a quantity of linen in webs and sheet. ink, and various other articles, the property of the late Elizabeth Low, and having the same unlaw fully in her possession.—After a long trial, the Jury returned a verdict of murder non proven, but guilty of theft.—Lord Pitmilly said he could have no doubt as to the sentence which should be pro nounced. She had been acquitted of the murder, and consequently of all accession to it; but no Oat' could doubt that the theft was of the most dreAful nature, aggravated by being perpetrated after as foul and atrocious a murder as ever was known, and committed in the abode of amurdered woman, whose corpse still lay upon the ground. It amounted almost to a ea pital offence, and the Court will ill discharge their duty to pass a milder sentence than transportation for life. OLD BAILEY- 7 -(Tms Day.)

L.—Little Waddington, the one? far-famed Radical standard-bearer, after many vicissitudes of fortune, including among others a durance vile in the Cold Bath-fields prison, has at length resumed his former profession, but in a more dignified situation, no longer himself a placard bearer, but a master and director of placard. bearers, having got himself engaged at what he terms " a comfortable sa..' lacy," as a sort of placard -master-general, to one Pool, a professed cheap coal-merchant, of the nature of whose deal ings the public have heard so much some time ago, on informations against him at this and another public office, and whose immense placard-boards present a continual annoy ance not only to the eyes, but to the heads and shoulders cf the passengers in Fleet-street and on Ludgate-hill. The fellows who carry these beards, as might be expected, are con tinually coming in contact with the street-keepers, the essen tial part of whose duty it is to prevent the obstruction and annoyance they occasion. All this • opposition on the Part of the officers, Waddington of course holds to be injustic !"11: - .d . oppression, and loud and repeated have been his complaints both at: the Mansion-house and at this justice-room ; but as the statute forbids not only•the fixing, but the carying or hulling these sort of annoyances in the public streets, his application's for redress for the supposed injuries lave been ineffectual, to - the great indignation cf the little orator, who, upon the last occasion, gave vent to his feelings by exclaiming, I am not Etiogenes to be going about with a candle and lent rn to hunt for an honest man, but there is a new invention cf com pressed gas lately. I must buy a lanthet - n full of it to seek out for justice." Undismayed, however, by his repeated defer' s,li ag in made his appearance at this ofriceyesterday, to suppo. to co./ . plant against Snow, the street-keeper of Ludgate-hill, for not having; complied with the wording of the statute, in giving him notice ver bally or in writing, where lredeposited twoof these plac:trd-boards, he having seized and carried away a couple of them. without giving him any notice whatever where they were. This com plaint was obviously a mere feint to procure an opportunity to deliver a long oration an the hardships and oppressions his poor fellows were subjected to, some of whom had fought for their - King and country, and were willing to fight for their King and country again, if necessary; but the Magistrate, Mr. A lderittan ANSLEY, having probably no taste fir this species of oratory, insisted on confining him to the specific complaint, and cut short his speech by calling upon Snow, who declared that lie told the men at the time that he should take the boards to the green yard, and brought the toll-taker on Ludgate-hill, who also sub stantiated that fact. Airaddington, on nit; part, produced the two men from whom the boards•h3d been taken, and was pro ceeding to question them as to the whole affkir, how they had been assaulted, &c., when the Alderman again interposed, .by observing that it was notorious that every tiling seized as ob structions by the officers of the city were taken to the green yard ; that it could not be even pretended that the complainants did not know what had been done with their beards ; and he had no hesitation in believing the toll-taker, who b a d n o inte rest in the affair, that Snow had stated he should . take them to the green-yang, and accordingly dismissed the complaint, to the great dissatisfaction of little Waddy, who expressed his determina"on to emyloy a solicitor, and file regular informa- Coas anew, for he would have justice. • Son(lay last, Mr ~3. Lion, the wife of a sawyer, of Favtrsham, was fJund dead by husband on his re turn from church. I t appears the deceased had been unwell, and on the above day he r h us b an I procee d e d to church, leav ing his wife in bed : before his return, however, she got up, and it is supposed was standing in a chair to reach ,sonie thing from a shelf, when 'she was seized with a giddiness and fell. The deceased was found hanging acros s the chair, which being near the wall kept .her suspended ; and her sto mach appearing to have received the principal pressure, it is conjectured that her head hanging down, with her body in that position, must have occasioned strangulation. An inquest has been held on the body, and the Jury returned a verdict— " Accidental Death." !.
