the inhabitants. All opinions concur on the point that the present agitation is the fore runner of a great plan for the restoration of ITURBIDE, which, it is to be feared, will not be carried into effect, without producing much bloodshed, and perhaps a Civil War.— No relic -.ce can be placed on Mexican credit. It is quite certain that the principal of tl►e late loan will never be recovered, and most likely but a very small portion of the interest." CITY, OWE O'CLOCK. There is a panic in the Foreign Market amongst the holders of South American Securi ties, who are selling eagerly at reduced prices, and a great deal of business has been done. Colombian Scrip has fallen to 7 discount, and IVT exican Bonds are at 511, which is equal to a discount of 6 upon the Scrip of that loan. Greater attention to the timely warnings of TILE SUN re specting these loans, would have saved many families from ruin. In the British Market no thing is doing. Consols, which opened at 924-,1, are stilt at the same price, looking gloomy. Wr. have received the French Papers of Sa turday and the Dale of Sunday mornip " and have given extracts from them in a preceding column. The most important article of their contonts is that in which the Journal du Coy. merce states that a French squadron of fifteen 'hips of different rates is ordered to be fitted out end sent into the Mediterranean. The French are evidently paying the greatest attention to their Marine ; and they have at this moment a much greater number of ships at sea, in various parts of the world, than are necessary for the protection of their commerce. Those are not circumstances that are likely to induce Parlia ment, in the next Session, to listen to any pro. positions for relinquishing the practice of im pressing seamen. The article we have extracted from the Journal du Commerce, relative to General Sir GREGOR. M 4 Gll.l4GrOlt, gives rise to many reflections. It excited a good deal of sensation in the Stock Exchange, where it WWI thought to portend no good to Mexico and Colombia. Should M'GRE owl be employed by the kingof SPAIN, as is said, to intrigue in those countries, and even to com mand an expedition against them, the pa triotic cause might suffer a great risk, from his thorough acquaintance with, and the agency which he has the means of putting in motion. We should like to know whether or not he is acting uuder the patronage of the French Government ? Advices have been received from Rio de Ja neiro to the 17th of May, from Bahia to the 'NI of June, and from Pernambuco to the 9th of the same month. The Brazilian newspapers are chiefly filled with accounts of the taking of the oath to the Constitution in the different cities and towns of the Empire, and of the elections of Deputies. The blockade of Pernambuco is still kept up. Lord CoctIRANE was actively pre paring a squadron of ships of war for a long voyage. His destination was unknown ; but it was conjectured that he is about to sail for the Pacific, with the view of attacking the Spanish ships of war in that sea. The new arrangements which have been made by the Admiralty for the ease and comfort of the inferior orders of our Naval Defenders (an Official copy of which we inserted in Tit E Sus of yesterday), are highly honourable to the huma nity as well as wisdom of that great National Board. It is certain that our seamen injured their health by too free a use of ardent spirits, which' were not necessary to stimulate the courage of Britons, employed in supporting the honour of their country, however necessary it may be found to rouse the feelings or deaden the fears of foreign sailors. To abridge, therefore, the quantity of spirits allotted to our gallant naval heroes, and to substitute comforts of a sa lutary nature, such as beer, tea, coffee, flour, and to increase their pay to the amount of two shillings per month, is in reality to Preserve their health, to prevent the feuds that too often arise from the free use of spirituous liquors, and to render them more content ed with their condition. There is no cal culating the beneficial effect of these wise and liberal arrangements, particularly as to the increase of pay, which enables those who have families at home to contribute more to their com fort. We may therefore confidently expect not only to witness the preservation of the health of British Seamen, but their moral improvement, and therefore the country cannot but view the conduct of the Board of Admiralty with the highest respect and gratitude for regulations, which are likely to be attended with beneficial consequences of the utmost importance to the Empire at large, THE THEATRE. DRURYLANE.—AIiss L. PATON, of whose re-1 presentation of Letitia Llards, in The Belle's Stratagem, we have given a favourable and just report, last night assumed the part of Miss Hard castle, in the pleasant Comedy of She Stoops to Conquer,--a character of a similar description, and in which she appeared with similar success. In the Bar-maid part, to which she stoops for the purpose of conquering her diffident lover, there was an arch display of affected simplicity and real tenderness that evinced considerable discernment and skill, nor was she less effective in the assumption of Miss Hardcastle's true cha racter, rallying her lover with easy gaiety and spirit. But with all our admiration of the powers of Dr. GOLDSMITH, and respect for Isis memory, we conceive that the raillery, so far as she is con cerned, is misplaced, and ought to have been confined wholly to the other characters, for as in her assumed part she was a witness to the ten derness and honourable feelings of her lover, she ought rather to have endeavoured to soften that raillery than to have joined in it.—Besides her lover might reasonably have been alarmed at finding that she was so insensible of the amiable and honourable principles which she had excited in her assumed part, and have been le,s disposed to endanger his happiness by a union with one on whom his noble feelings had made so little an impression. The rest of the Comedy, with all its extravagance and improbability, is marked by such genuine humour that no reasonable objec tion can be urged against it. ELLts'roN's Young Marlow and DowToN's Hardcastle were both well entitled to praise, and HARLEY'S Tonjj Lumpkin was very diverting. Nothing, however, can efface our recollection of the original excel lence of QUICK in this character, an actor who in grave or ludicrous comedy has never been equalled in our remembrance. It must give some pleasure to the public, who have been so often gratified by the talents of that actor, to know that he is alive, in possession of all his mental powers, and all his good humour, and enjoying otium cum dignitate, acquired by merit and ma naged with prudence, in his rural retreat at Islington. ARGYLL Rooms.—The Masquerade at these Rooms, so peculiarly adapted for an entertain ment of that description, took place last night in honour of his MAJEsTY'S Coronation. It seemed to be the general opinion that the company was of a rather higher order than has for some years at tended this amusement. There were many whim sical characters, several of which were supported with humour and spirit. A bundant refreshments were provided, and the company appeared likely to remain till a late hour. VAUXHALL GAttnexs.--Last night the Pro prietors of these Gardens, in honour of the patronage of his MAJESTY, commemorated the Anniversary of the Coronation by r. Grand Fete, prepared in a style suited to the occasion. ft was said there were illuminated for this evening 14,500 additional lamps, and the blaze of bean tiful and appropriate devices which glowed upon the eye in every direction seemed to confirm the statement. There was certainly a greater mag nificence of effect from the illumination than we remember to have seen on any former occasion during the season. The efforts of the Proprietors were not confined to the additional number of lamps, for new attractions appeared to have been imparted to the different entertuinmente for the night, the vocal and instrumental concerts were more numerous, and selected with attention to the object of the fete. Miss WIT HAm and Miss WrAITE were particularly applauded. The fire. works were very magnificent. The pantomimic performances, and the other amusements in the bill of fare for the evening, went off with consi derable eclat. The juggler, and the rope dancing, the Fantoccini and the Cosmoramas, furnished their several attractions according to the respec tive tastes of the company ; and the spectators, who, availing themselves of the fineness of the weather, crowded to these Gardens in unusual numbers last night, appeared every where to be occupied with the varied entertainments which were so amply provided for this fete. The at tendance, considering the advanced period of the season, was very fashionable ; the crowd was in deed excessive throughout the evening, but the arrangements in the Gardens were so provident, that very little inconvenience was felt from the pressure. Extract of a letter to a mercantile house in Glasgow, dated Honduras, 15th May, 1824 " I am sorry to say our trade with the Spaniards still con. tinues very much interrupted by pirates. The vessel which has committed the greatest enormities ? is said to have got aground and been burned on the Mosquito shore, and the In. dians have sent to intimate, that they have secured the persons of the crew, and a vessel 14 sent. to bring then; over here, but as we have no Admiralty Court, they will have to be sent to Ja. malts for trial." INDlA.—(Public Improvement.)—lt is in the contemplation of Government to carry into speedy effect two measures, which, in their operation and consequences, promise incalculable benefit to the Indian population—one will be directed to the spread of education and the gra dual introduction of European Arts and Sciences throughout the country, which, by augmenting the intellectual endowments of the natives, and advancing them in the scale of civilization, must permanently secure their temporal welfare and moral amelioration ; and the other is the pro posed application of town duties to the local im provement of the places where they are collected (on the principle under prosecution by the Lot tery Committee in Calcutta), which, by increasing and extending the facilities of intercommunica tion between the provinces, must lead to an ample developement of the physical resources of the soil, and of native industry and enterprize. The paternal solicitude of Government, thus in cessantly directed to the happiness of millions under its sway, cannot fail to operate with grate ful conviction on their minds, and secure their attachment and loyalty on a basis never to be shaken. The accomplishment of these important measures are to be attributed to the liberal policy of Mr. ADAM.—(Calcutta Gaulle.) THE KING.

The whole forming a piece of plate as inestimable i n its value as it must be gratifying to the feelings of the worthy receiver.

THE LATE KING OF THE SANDWICH ISLES.— On Sunday morning, between four and five o'clock, the undertaker and his assistants arrived at the Caledonian Hotel, to prepare for piecing the Royal body in the temporary depository, in the vault at St. Martin's church. About five, a hearse, drawn by six horses, and a mourning coach, drove up to the tavern, and the coffin was brought out on the shoulders of eight men, and placed in the carriage. The Governor, Treasurer, Rives the Secretary, and Captain Starbuck, then entered the mourning coach, and the procession moved on at a funeral pace to. wards St. Martin's church, where, on its arrival, the coffin was taken out a n d carried through the aisles of the church, and deposited by the side of Tarnehamalu, the late Queen. The mourning vas occasion, and the coach then conveyed the suite back to the Cale donian no sort of ceremony proceedings attracted very little notice. It is Hotel. ohse r v e T d he a re a whatever the intention of Mr. Rives to proceed to France this week, upon some business relative to his late royal master, and on his return a ship will instantly be got ready to embark with the bodies of the King and Queen for the Sandwich Isles.

The Governor,at the King's request,attested the win, he being so feeble he could not hold • his pen, but upon Rives ex plaining to him that the document would be in valid unless he attested it in his owe hand-writ ing, the King took up the pen, and with assist ance made his mark, which was witnessed by Drs.

IN OXFORDSHIRE.--Some account of the murder of JAMES MILLER, the gamekeeper of Wichwood forest, Oxfordshire, under Lord papers three or four weeks ago. The unfortunate CHURCHILL, the ranger, app e a re d i n mos t o f the man, it will be remembered, was found dead in the forest on the morning of the 15th of June, and there was no doubt that he had bled to death from a wound in the thigh, through which a ball appeared to have passed--a wound, which, of course, deprived him of the power of moving to any distance for aid. Lord Churchill and Mr. Hyde, a local Magistrate, upon being inform ed of the murder, commenced an active in quiry, the result of which was, the aprehen. sion of two men, of the names of James Pitterway and William James, but no con clusive evidence was at that time obtained against them, and they were discharged. Lord Churchill then wrote to Sir RICHARD BIRNIE, the Chief Magistrate at 13ow-street, requesting that an experienced officer might be immediately sent down to assist in investigating the matter. Sal- Moll was dispatched to the Forest, and having visited the spot where the murder was com mitted, and made inquiries in the neighbour hood, he recommended that Pitterway and James should be again taken up. This was done, and Salmon procured a warrant to search their houses, where were found snares, and every kind of apparatus of the most ingenious construction for the, taking of game. There was also found a bullet mould. Upon the spot where the body of Miller was discovered a bullet was found, which there can be no doubt was the one which passed through his thigh ; and this bullet exactly fit ted the mould found upon the premises of the prisoners. Several examinations have taken place, and Salmon contrived to get together a mass of evidence tending to implicate the prison ers in the crime with which they stand charged. The final result has been, that the prisoners are fully committed for trial for the murder at the next Oxford Assizes, and no less than sixteen witnesses are bound over to give evidence. Lord Churchill and Mr. Ilyde, as well as Salmon, were indefatigable in their exertions. OLD BAILEY.—(Tuts Datv.) IN THE OLD COURT. fr. George Palmer, the Solicitor, and his clerk Hader, stood indicted, the former with subornation of perjury, and the latter ►pith wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. ANnnEws stated the case to the Jury, and Mr. BRODERICK immediately put in the original writ. The facts of the case were that a writ had been issued against a gentleman named Baker, hut, by same mistake, the date appeared 1804, instead of 1824, which was copied by the clerk, who, on making the service, swore he had served a true copy. Mr. Baker did not appear, and the Learned Judge reouested that, for public justice, it might be made generally known, that in fu ture, if prosecutors and witnesses did not appear, their recognizances would be estreated, and that, in future, no case would be put olf, unless strong grounds were shown for so doing. The verdict of course was an acquittal. , WILLIAM RAMSDEN ROBINSON. The prisoner was yesterday again indicted for stealing on the Bth June a seal and brooch, value 40s. and upwards, the pro perty of Michael Marchant. Ann Marchant is the wife of the prosecutor, who carries on businesain Tichbourne-street, as a jeweller; knows the prisoner at the bar ; saw him on the thli ult. when he came to her shop, and said he wanted to look at a fine gold key and s e al. Wit ness s h ewe d hi m several, when he inspected one of them in particular, after which he bid her good mo rning and went away. Wit ness immediately after wards missed a fine gold chased chain. The same witnesses were called to character, and alibi, as in the previous cases. The Jury again stopped the case, and considered that a sufficient alibi had been proved. Verdict—Not G Atty.—Mr. Justice Gaz 'MEE said, that as this was a capital charge, he felt it his duty to try it. The other three indictments were minor of fences ; another long conference was then held between his Lordship and the prisoner's Counsel; it was und e r s t oo d th at the latter expressed a desire to have the whole of the case.% tried—at the result of the conference the prisoner retired front the bar, and the Counsel put up their briefs, the prosecution, i b n e l i rri n I trii i s n d d ry r , on the representation of Mr. Justice Gazelee, who tried the g edia abandoned. ttly, and a Mr. p,tr d l o l n an fr i o i e n r l t s h e e n sent g express iscxi expected case on which he has been convicted. OLD BAILEY NEW COURT—(TaiI Dar. TRIAL of CAPTAIN FELIX MWONOGH, and HENRY DRUID, °Menthe II ENRRY JONES, for OBBEItY. The above prisoners, the former of whom is the avowed author of a work that has excited very general attention, entitled the Hermit in London, were put to the bar on an indictment, charging them with stealing, on the 30th of June last, from the person of Mr. Thomas Weaver, a pocket book, containing money to the amount of at least one hundred pounds. From the evidence adduced in support of the prosecution, it appeared that the parties met at the Saloon in where, in the course of conversation,. Jones pointed out the the Captain, as the author of Heitait in London, and the con sequence was that the prosecutor invited them to take a glass of wine. This was complied with, aid the result was that the parties left the saloon together in a coach, the two prisoners riding on the box. On arriving at th e B e ll Inn, Holborn, the prosecutor found he had lost his watch. The prosecutor ex pressed a wish to return, but the prisoner Jones tried to per suade him to abstain from doing so, and eventually they were all taken to the watch-house, as disorderly, when in the morn ing the prosecutor found he had lost his pocket-book, and the property above named. Th e p ar ti es a pp ea r e d b e fo re Ald er m an 'Thompson, when the pocket-book with two letters were found on the person of Druid. The prosecutor underwent a most severe cross-examination by Mr. .A r. LEY ; and on a question being put to him as to how he had occupied his time, he suddenly dropped down in a tit. He soon recovered, sufficiently . to be able to walk out of Court. On his return his cross-examination was proceeded with. He admitted that he had been in the company of sonic ladies, among whom was Mary Anne Clarke ; a person named %Vest brook was also present. lie reared with Mary Ann Clarke, hut he would positively swear that he had his pocket-book after. Mary Ann Clarke again came into the room, and hav ing accused the prosecutor of treating her ungentlemanly, struck him on the nose. The prosecutor underwent a long examination, in the course of which some very mutual contra dictions occurred. Robert Edwards, the waichman stationed on Holborn-hill, deposed to seeing the party there. The prosecutor appeared elevated, but yet seemed to know what he was doing. Henry Hughes, another watchman, deposed to hearing the prosecutor say he had lost kis pocket-hook. Mr. Berestord, clerk to the Magistrates at Guildhall, pro duced the minutes of the evidence produced on the examination of the prisoners before the Alderman. From this it appeared Capt. Wllonogh voluntarily gave his name and address, viz., —" Felix 31 4 llonogh, Captain in the Army, belonging to the Duke of Cumberland's Corps," and added, that the younger prisoner was his son. _ The driver of the hackney chariot, No. 722, described the prosecutor to have hired him on the night in question and drove the chariot himself, th e w i tness r idi ng behind. Ile also added that he saw Druid attempting to put into his pocket a book similar to that produced. Four other witnesses were called, but their evidence did not bear materially on the case. .Mr. ALLEY took an objection on the part of the Captain, as there was no evidence against hint. This was, however, over ruled. Mr. Druid was then called upon for his defence. lie so lemnly protested his innocence, and called the Almighty to witness his assertions. He read from a written paper a most fi►rcible appeal to the feelings of the Jury, and pointed out the many circumstances that had occurred. Ile dwelt with much force on the fact, that while labouring under the efficts of wine, the whole party had been involved in street broils by the conduct of the prosecutor. He was about to read a letter from Shrewsbury, descriptive of the character of the prosecutor, but his Counsel advised him to abstain. With respect to the possession of the pocket-book, he accounted for it by stating that the prosecutor placed it in his care ; but with respect to its contents, he solemnly called God to witness that he never saw them. - He dwelt strongly on the insol vent state of the prosecutor, and put it to the Jury to say, whether it was possible that a man who had within the past month been a bankrupt, and who had at the time a liCence from his creditors, should have been possessed of the money he pre tended farther than in his own brain ? Captain 111‘Donogli also made a very forcible appeal to the. Jury, and called their attention to the fact of his avowing his son before the Alderman, and explained the reason for not giv ing the proper name by his son, from the disgrace that would attend their being in a watch-house. Witnesses were then called to prove that the prosecutor bad made many wrong statements, and had also liven a false de. scription of himself- One witness swore that he W ould not believe the prosecutor on his oath, for he was ps. - orerbially liar. Both prisoners recessed a most unexceptionable cha racter. The COKMON SE ILTEANT summed up the eviden ce to the k Jury, who knurl the prisoners.
