I to the 7th of May. The colonial papers brought by this conveyance contain no news of general interest. The alarm caused by an apprehended rising among the slaves on the east coast has ceased, and the colony remained in a state of tranquillity. Major-General Sir B. D'URBAN had issued the following Proclamation, on assum ing the Government of the Colony " PROCLAMATION " By his Excellency Major-General Sir Benjamin D'Urban, Knight Commander of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, of the Royal Guelphic Order, and of the Portuguese Royal Military Order of the Tower and Sword, Lieutenant- Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over the United colony of Demerara and Essequibo, its Dependencies, &c. " The slave population of the Colony will have been already made aware, by the King's Proclamation, issued on the 10th day of March last, and recently published by his Excellency Major-General Murray, that there is not the slightest foun dation for the belief which they had been erroneously led to entertain, of 4 orders having been sent out for their emanci pation.' " They will also have learned, that the acts of insubordina tion into which that false belief had so fatally betrayed them, have excited his Majesty's highest displeasure;' that if, for e:c future, they fail to render entire submission to the laws and.dutiful obedience to their masters, they will be held unde s,2rving of his Royal protection ;* and that all his Majesty's Governors ' are charged and commanded to punish those who may hereafter disturb the tranquillity and peace of their repec tire colonies.' " I do, therefore, hereby declare to the slaves my firm deter mination to repress every appearance of insurrection ; and in the event (which I trust is most improbable) of any new revolt, I will not fail to put it down, by the immediate and decided operation of the powerful military force now at my disposal, and by the same prompt and effectual measures which were' esrployed by my predecessor in the Government, and which have received the most gracious approbation of his Majesty. " I trust, however, that the slaves will spare me so painful a task, and not bring upon . themselves so certain and severe a punishment ; but, on the contrary, that by steadily persevering in a peaceful and obedient conduct, they will, in due time, enable me to recommend them to his Majesty, as still deserv ing his gracious protection, and as not unworthy of being con templated in those measures for improving their condition, which their late criwinal acts had suspended, and from which, any renewal of such acts must, infallibly, exclude them. " They may be assured, that as, on the one hand, I will punish with inflexible severity all proceeding upon their part which may be contrary to peace and good order ; so, on the other, if they continue in a temperate, obedient, and indus trious behaviour, they will always find me ready to protect and befriend them, as the Representative of his Majesty, and fulfilling his gracious will. " That no further delusion may, by possibility, exist among them; and that they may well and clearly understand their own situation, I have thought fit, in his Majesty's name, to issue this my proclamation, commanding all persons having charge of slaves to explain and make known to them the contents thereof immediately. " Given under my hand and seal of office, at the King's House, in George-town, Demerara, this 3d day of May, 1824, and in the sth year of his Majesty's reign. "By command, " WALTER R. DURBAN, Gov. Sec." We have received advices from Bogota to the 2,gth of March, and the Gacela de Colombia of the 14th of the same month, containing the offi cial details of the welcome reception given to the British Commissioners. Our Readers have long been in possession of the speech attributed to Colonel iinatr.ToN on that interesting occasion, and we now sabmit to them the other particulars as they appear in the Colombian Gazette : - - - " BOGOTA, MARCH 14. " BRITISH COMMISSION. " On the day after the arrival of the Commissioners of his Britannic Majesty in this capital, they paid a visit to the Mini ster for Foreign Affairs, and expressed their satisfaction at the condition of the country. On the Scl they again called upon him, and delivered to him a letter from his Excellency illr. Canning, accediting them as the confidential Agents or Com missioners of his Britannic Majesty to the Government of Colombia. Being acknowledged by his Excellency the Vice- President, in his character, on the 6th they requested to be presented to his Excellency the Vice-President, which was effect ed on Monday the Bth instant, at half-past eleven. At that hour the Secretary for Foreign Affairs conducted them to the audience chamber, and introduced them to his Excellency, saw was surrounded by the other Secretaries of State, and several General Officers. Immediately on their being pre sented, Colonel Hamilton, the head of the Commission, ad dressed the following speech to his Excellency the Vice- President: — (This speech we need not repeat. It appeared some time since in the Scar.] " His Excellency, the Vice-President, in his reply, expressed his high consideration for the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the great esteem in which he held the British nation. This important commission,' he said, which has been confided to persons of so estimable a charac ter, cannot be otherwise than productive of the greatest benefit to Colombia, and to the interests of Great Britain. The sacri fices of the Colombians have been crowned with vi c t or y, and the assurance of friendship which you proffer to us, merit our particular eeknowledgment. The Republic has never crea t e d to itself enemies, which, by keeping us in a state of warfare, would present obstacles to the numerous means of prosperity which we possess. But if Spain should find France, or any other power, willing to become her allies or co-operators in in terrupting the internal tranquillity which we have acquired, at the cost of so much blood and so many sacrifices, the resolution arid constancy of the Colombians will prove themselves no less firm than during the fourteen years which they have spent in combating with Spain. The Constitution prohibits my accept- ing presents from any foreign Ring or Prince —you will, there fore, Gentlemen, excuse my not expressing the feelings of my heart for this proof of the esteem of the king of England, until the Congress shall approve of its acceptance," " The Commissioners of his Britannic Majesty then remained for a considerable time in amicable conversation with his Ex cellency and the other persons assembled in the saloon. Dur irsg this agreeable entertainment, his Excellency the Vice-Pre sident passed a high eulogium on Mr. Canning, the liberality of whose sentiments, in his opinion, entitled him to the grati tude, not only of Colombia, but of the whole of South America. Shortly afterwards the British Commissioners took leave of his Excellency, having impressed the minds of all who were present at this interesting interview with the joyful hope of soon witnessing the establishment of the most intimate bonds of friendship and good understanding b e t ween t h e Republic of Colombia and the British empire. The a mi a bl e , frank, and sincere character of the Commissioners has greatly contributed to his hope, and we ourselves venture to anticipate that this Commission will be productive of the most favourable results to the cause of human nature, to America, so long afflicted by the calamities of a protracted war, and to the Pao' and tran quillity of the civilized world." Letters from Havannah, dated the 13th of May, have been received by way of Charleston. The discontent of the merchants and planters of Cuba ;It the interruption to the commerce of the Island by the Colombian privateers was daily increasing, so much so as to threaten, at no very distant period, a separation from Spain, unless the evil was removed by some amicable arrangement with the Colonies. In periods of European warfare, the traders of Cuba were re conciled to any privations and disasters they might be exposed to by the increased price which produce bore in the markets of Europe. At present all produce is low, and the losses to which they are exposed far greater in propor tion, for it is estimated that of late one vessel in three which has left Ilavannah has become prize to the Colombian privateers. Even the small coasting vessels were not secure against their enterprise and activity. In consequence of this state of things, and being unable to obtain from Spain any support or protection, the com merce of the island was almost wholly at a stand, and the opinion was becoming general, that the only step which could rescue it from ruin, was the acknowledgment by Spain of the independ ence of the colonies. The Dublin Equitable Loan Bill, and the Manchester Equitable Loan Bill, were last night thrown out in the House of Lords. Little dis cussion took place, the only speakers being the Lout) CHANCELLOR and the Earl of Litmxit- DALE. THE KING'S Couwr.—Yesterday at twao'clock his M AJESTY held a Court at his Palace in Pall-mall, which was attended by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chan. cellor, the Lord President of the Council, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Lord Privy Seal, the Secretaries of State for the Home, Foreign, and Colonial Departments, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the President, of the Board of Trade, the Chancellor of the - Duchy of Lan caster, the Lord Chamberlain, the Lord Steward, the Vice Chamberlain, the Comptroller of the Household, the Treasurer of the Household, Viscount Sidmouth, Bishops of Lincoln and Chester, the Prussian Minister, Viscount Kenmure, Viscount Strathallan, Lord Nairne, and the Marquis of Lothian.—Baron Werther, the Prussian Minister, was introduced to his Majesty by Mr. Secretary Canning, when his Excellency had an audience of the King, to take leave previous to his leaving England for Paris. Viscount Kenmure, Viscount Strathallan, and Lord Nairne, were introduced to his Majesty, and kissed hands upon the restoration to their tides. The Marquis of Lothian was introduced to the King, and kissed hands upon succeeding to his title. Dr. Blomfield, the Bishop of Chester, did homage before his Majesty upon his election to that See. The Bishop of Lincoln attended the ceremony as Clerk of the Closet. Mr. Secretary Pe.l also attended the ceremony.—His Majesty held a Privy Council, at which the King's Speech for closing the Session of Parliament was arranged. The King gave audiences to the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of Liverpool f Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary Can ning, and Viscount Melville. Lord Glenlyon and Sir Charles Paget were the Lord and Groom in waiting. The Court broke up about four o'clock. • It is not true (says a Correspondent) that Navy Boards have resolved to use no more oak for the navy, except it be hewn in WINTER, when the sap is down, for the bark harvest in the New Forest, proceeds as usual this season. The prac tice of stripping the bark off while standing, is, however, discontinued, but oaks are felled and barked when' full of sap, in the most destructive manner. Mr. BUIIRIDGTI (the latest author on Naval Dry Rot, &c.) ascribes the dreadful consequences of it entirely to this fatal practice, and proves that the sap or tannin is the seed of dry rot. His Petition, lately ordered to be printed when presented to the House of Com mons by Mr. BROUGHAM, for another Committee of Naval Inquiry, asserts that 969 ships have been destroyed in six years, and that only 71 re main of the old navy. This gentleman also as serts, that the Royal Navy is built contrary to Act of Parliament, Anno Domini 1603, in the reign--of. King JAssEs.Alie Firat, of -blessed me mory, when Navy Boards allowed equivalents for bark, and continued the practice by allowing per cent. extra (as it is useless to tanners when oaks are hewn in winter) till the French Revo lution in 179'2, and the Act of JAMES has NEVER been repealed, though it is confidently affirmed to have been so long since, in the last Qqarterly Review. The advantages which steam navigation affords to travellers Is, we understand, to be soon ex tended in an extraordinary degree to the coast of Scotland, as a steam-boat, very superior in her size, construction, and accommodations, is to be established in the month of July, between Loch Tarbert, Isla, Staffa, lona, and even the Giant's Causeway, and thus, with but a trifling intermis sion, there will be a communication by steam be tween London arid the above places, the route being as follows :—FromLondon to Edinburgh per steam, from Edinburgh to Glasgow, 40 miles, by a good road or a pleasant water conveyance, in track-boats, from Glasgow to L oc h Tarbert per steam, and, from the latter place the new steam boa, will convey passengers three times per week to Isla, Staffa, and the Giant's Causeway. It is needless to point out the advantages which tra vellers in general, but more particularly th e curious, will enjoy of being thus enabled, by means of this pleasant and expeditious convey ance, to visit these parts of the North, so cele brated both for the remains of antiquity, as the wonders of Nature, there displayed in so re markable a manner. His MAJESTY dines with the Duke of WEL LINGTON this day. The dinner party will b e uncommonly select, rather than numerous; but in the evening there is to be a grand assembly, also at Apsley House, to meet our SOVEREIGN. This is expected to be very numerous, and the most splendid of the season. The dinner tables will display the costly services of plate and Sevre dessert service, presented to the Duke of W EL LINGTON by the Continental Sovereigns, in ac knowledgment of the extinction of the BUONA PARTE dynasty at Waterloo. Yesterday the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, the Princess SOPIJIA, and. Prince LEOPOLD, visited the KING.

The Speaker on this occasion presided. At this dinner was Mr. 13. Spiller, the Librarian to the House, an office created during the late Speaker (Abbott's) time—it was such officer's first invita tion to these dinners. The dinner given by the Speaker to the Messengers, Housekeeper, Vote office keeper, Btc. will be to-day. This dinner takes place in the same chamber --Mr. Phillips, the Speaker's Secretary,. however, presides at it for the Speaker.—(llfornmg Paper.) THE THEATRES'. DRURYJAANE.—The historical drama of Henu the Eighth drew a numerous audience last night. Mr. MACRIA DT was the Cardinal Wolsey, and if there was nothing great in his performance it was at least respectable. POPE has always been suc cessful in Harry the Eighth. His costume was strikingly conformable to the portraits of the boisterous Monarch, and his acting was not less characteristic in blunt humour and terrific energy. Mrs. BUN gave an animated and affecting por trait of Queen Kat.arine. Btlt, alas ! for SILIK SPEARE, we presume that CATALAN' was the prin cipal attraction. She sung " God save the King" and two other of her favourite airs, and in all was encored. She is a good , wind-fall for the Theatre. COVENT-GARDEN.—On account of the sudden and alarming illness of Miss 'NESBITT, attested it appears by an eminent Physician, which was an nounced in bills from the Theatre, posted up in the vicinity, this promising young actress was un able to repeat her performance of Juliet last night. The part was therefore assigned to Miss F. H. KELLY,performed it w ith great success, n supported with eq u a l ability on awhich wh o sh had e this occasion. Mr. C. KEMBLE being absent, Mr. COOPER. was the Romeo, and he supported the part with judgment, animation, and feeling.— There was but a scanty audience, but the per formers were consoled by the warm mud judicious applause which attended them.

The fight between these men took place yesterday morning, in a field of about thirty acres, at Vateby, a small village about three miles below Blackwater, on the borders of Hampshire, and 34 miles from London. The match was made some time since, and we understand Cannon has Ling had a very parti cular wish to meet Josh., and found friends in the neigh bourhood of Windsor .to back him for that purpose. The Commissary-General took up his head-quarters at Black water, and with his deputy, started early in the morn ing to the scene of action, to prepare for the battle. Can non's friends from Windsor appeared to have great confi dence in him, from his fine make and figure, and from the prowess they had witnessed, as well as from their calculating that Hudson was too fat to do much harm, and suspecting that he had been somewhat careless. Cannon left Windsor on Tues day night, and took his abode at Warfield. Josh. Hudson sojourned at Bagshot. Notwithstanding a heavy shower of rain, the ring was well attended at half-past 12, and about this time (annel? srm on the ground'; 21)minntes-to 1-Cannon threw up his castor : Crib and Baldwin went in for Cannon.— A few minutes after, Josh. answered the challenge, and Oliver and Randall attended him. Betting from 2 to 21 to 1 on Josh. Both men looked well, and full of courage; but the Windsor [an appeared to us unequal to the task he had to perform. Six minutes to one both came to the scratch. A feint made by Cannon ; Josh. went one knee, and received a hit. A good rally, both caught. Josh. made good stops, and severely hit Cannon with his right hand—a close, both down, Cannon under.-3 to I offered, but not taken.—Round lasted four minutes. 2. Josh. showed great good humour, hit once; Cannon closed, punished Josh. and hit him under the ropes; both fell, Josh. under.—Plenty of blood on both sides. 3. A most severe round. Cannon rushed in, Josh. tried to get away, but only received, and was thrown under. 4. A short round, Josh. the worst of it—" He is winning," said the friends of Cannon. 5. Nothing but fighting ; both received ; Josh. drove his man to the ropes, closed ; struggled for the throw—Josh. had it cleverly. C. Josh. blowed a little ; cautious • went in, hit, and thrown. 7. Cannon went in, hit Josh. on the mouth ; Josh. returned ; was sent to the ropes, and slipt down. 8. Cannon punished severely, drove Josh. to the ropes, and hit him going down outside of the ropes.—Cries of " Foul !" 9. A close, and severe blows ; Josh. threw his antagonist nr 'tithing but a fighting round. 10. One, two, three, and Josh. knocked down—betting even. 11. A good round ; both gave and received, but Josh. was knocked under the ropes and hit down. 12. Cannon weak, made a short hit ; Josh. sent him against a stake. 13. Cannon decidedly the best of it, and hit Hudson out of the ring. 14. Cannon's left injured, a good fighting round; Josh.'s wind bad, and cat over the left eye. 15. Cannon punished Josh. severely, got him against a stake, and sent him down. ...... 16. A rally ; both weak; Josh. rather the best of it. 17. Josh. came up game, and put in se veral good facers; he was then hit down. _ _ 18. Josh. punished severely, and sent down against the ropes ; after he was taken up by his attendants he seemed sick, and could not come to time. Josh. was severely punished. The fight lasted 21 minutes. REst ARKB.--Josh. never before met with such a customer.— The merits of Cannon have been greatly under-rated. He has proved himself an excellent fighter, a quick and power ful hitter, with his heart in the right place. His stops and returns were excellent, for he frequently tapped with his right, and countered at the same instant. He is also, in stead of being slow, as was rumoured, extremely quick, and always ready to give and take. His victory has excited a wonderful sensation in the neighbourhood of Windsor, and for miles round. Josh. was evidently out of condition ; he was over-fed, slow, and incautious. His " comb has been cut," and it will be some time before he can redeem his lost fame. We think Langan could now beat him with ease.— Spring and some of the first-rate boxers were on the ground, and held up their hands with surprise. Langan and several others did not arrive till after the fight had been c oncluded. — From the shamefal conduct of Western and his associates in breaking in the Ring, the Commander-in-Chief declared lie would never again attend a fight. His influence, he said, was no longer regarded. The weather continued inclement the whole of the night, and the " weary travellers" had not only to combat the elements, but to meet the sneers and laughter of the bumpkins, who assailed them in all directions with in quiries after the renowned " Don Joshua;" and with cries of Cannon for ever !" The Sheenies have now had their re venge, but there was not one of " our peoples" on th e gr ound. The crowd assembled to witness the contest was immense, anti among the motley assemblage there were many Gentlemen of rank. Josh remains at Yateley. ARGYLL Rooms.—The extraordinary powers of Signor Pflanucct in extemporary composition were again displayed last night in these rooms. There was rather a select than a numerous au dience, from whom this singular performer re ceived well-deserved applause for the quickness of his conception, and the unhesitating prompti tude of his recitations. COUNTY RATES.-HAMPSHIRE. The proposition alluded to, in the following article has, we understand, excited so much at tention and surprize, that we have been desired to extract it from The Salisbury and Winchester Journal, and insert, it in THE SUN (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) • • "On Saturday the 12th inst. a very respectable meeting of the holders of the bonds of this county (which are charged on the county rates) was held at the Prince Regent's Hotel in this city, to take into consideration the alternative proposal made to them on the part of the county, and founded on the order of the last General Quarter-sessions, for the repayment of their several loans or the lowering of the interest on them ; - such proposal and such order being made under the powers of a Statute, even yet not fully become a law, and (when a law) in this special clause intended to be not compUlsory in a county but discre, tionary, not enacting but enabling. " The bond-holders, under the influence of that monitor which resides within their breasts, seek not mercenarily their own interests at the expence of equity, but they feel that they would forsake the sacred duty which they owe to society, to the general interests of man, by an unresisting acquiescence in that proposal. " Deeming it their duty to meet, and to oppose, this at tempt to set aside their bonds, they at the above meeting unanimously agreed to, and signed, a strong but respectful re monstrance to be presented to the Magistrates at the • ensuing general Quarter Sessions. " They feel that they accommodated the county in her wants, and on terms, as it has ultimately proved, disad vantageous to themselves ;—that they did so in the reliance on the stipulations of the then alone existing statute (24 George 3, chap. 55) ;—that they- deposited their monies in the hands of the county, under (as they considered) the mutual pledge of good faith ; and they now lament to see that an attempt is making to break in on the con ditions of those bonds, to render' them no bonds, to throw down the party - wall ; that their interests and rights are attempted to be invaded, the signatures of the Magistracy to be set at nought, and even so (in the language of their remonstrance) by the unusual operation of an ex post ,facto law, framed for that intended advantage on the one side, which they feel would have been determinedly refused on the other.' They consider the proposed measure as an infliction, of injury on private individuals,. unaccompanied with advan tage to the public ; they regard, in their humble opinion as • tending to destroy the honour, the dignity, anti the character of this respectable county, arid to impart an example to every grade of society inimical to the common weal ; they say, in in fine, (and truly say) that the moral ties of public and private life aro the same, that the moral codes (however and whenever attacked. by sophistry) are still one and indivisible. " They have the fullest confidence, that those Magistrates who signed their several Bonds, will, in the personal words of those deeds, confirm and establish the same;' that they will join in and enforce their already given order to the Treasurer of the County to pay their several interests half-yearly, as again in the language of those deeds the same shall become due until the principal shall be discharged pursuant to the directions of the said Act; and they possess the strongest assurance, that the general voice of the county will loudly join in the vindication of her Honour, her Dignity, her Character, by the preservation of the Integrity . of her Bonds."'

SIR-I have laid before the Board your letter of the Rith in stant, communicating, by direction of the Committee for manag ing the affairs of Lloyd's, the copy of a letter from ‘Vhitstable, advising that the sloop Robert and Mary, laden with black stone, was sunk near the Spaniard Sand, directly in the best wa ter, and in the track of vessels passing overland ; and beg to ac quaint you that the buoy yacht having been thereupon imme diately dispatched, in order to place a green buoy on the said wreck (which intention was notified to the trade by public ad vertisement), it has been found the vessel has been novcd into very shallow water, and entirely out of the track of navigation; the mast standing, and measures about to be taken for remov ing her entirely. Under these circumstances, it has not been judged necessary to place the buoy as had been intended. I am, Sir, your most humble servant, J. Bennett, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's. J. HERBERT.

SACHILEGE.-I,ate last night, or early this morning, St. Giles's Church, Camberwell, was broken into, and robbed of several articles. The thieves effected their entrance through a window on the south side, and after having forced every drawer and cupboard, in search, it is supposed, of the communion plate, made their escape, car rying with them the carpet from the chancel, a great number of books, and some other things of small value. It is believed that they were disturbed, as a jacket was left behind, which will probably lead to detection. CHARLES JOHN BRANDLING, Esq., NI.
