that the Right Rev. Prelate was understood to have attempted to assume a power of arbitrarily re ducing a Curate's salary. The real facts of the case are the reverse. It seems, that the Right Reverend Prelate, upon some misunderstanding or misrepresentation of the wishes of the parties, had assigned a salary to a gentleman as the Cu rate of a Resident incumbent, which was greater than the latter had agreed to pay the former. — The application to the Court was for a Writ of Prohibition, to restrain the Bishop from enforcing the payment of such salary, which the Court granted, thereby expressly deciding that a Bishop has no power, where an Incumbent is resident on his living, and properly performing the duties, to compel him to receive a Curate at a greater salary than he is willing to pay. THE QUEEN OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.—It i 9 with regret that we announce the death of this personage yesterday, in consequence, we presume, of the measles, at Oshorn's Hotel, Adelphi.— The whole of this interesting family have con ducted themselves with so much propriety and decorum during their residence among us, that even Jonx Bum. may regret that he assailed them with so much wanton, unprovoked, and vulgar brutality. THE JEWS'. A Frankfort Journal of the Ist instant con. tains the following abstract of a Decree whici has been promulgated by the Government o Hesse Cassel, for regulating the worship of the Jews. Some of the prohibitions are curious : Cassit., JUNE 28.—A new regulation for the religious worship au4 instruction of the Jews contains the following ar ticles :—" The Rabbis or the Elders of the congregation are bound to superintend the worship in the Synagogue, and out of its walls. The Rabbis must always appear in the Synagogues for divine service. All private Synagogues and religious meet. ings are prohibited. There shall be exceptions of the old and infirm. The Black Board shall be suppressed, wherever it still subsists, as well as all penalties which relate to divine wor ship. The function relative to divine service, such as the right of taking the Law out of the Ark, the promulgation of the Law, &c. shall no longer be sold by auction in the Synagogues. The Rabbis and the Elders of the Synagogue (the first in their discourses) must endeavour to put an end to the custom of see. sawing during the prayer, and to that of repeating the prayers in too loud a voice. The young people must be instructed in this respect, and this practice must be forbidden to the singers, and thoss who recite the prayers. All profane tunes during divine service are prohibited. The ceremony of striking the impious Haman at the festival of Purim is most strictly prohi bited. Children below the age of five years arc not to be taken to the Synagogue. All unsuitable pleasantries, in which the young people sometimes indulge in the Synogogues, on the eve of some festivals, or on the festivals themselves, as well as the distribution of sweetmeats by the women to each in the Syna gogue, are strictly forbidden. Some of the religioul ceremo nies must be accompanied by a German discourse on a Hebrew text, in which the meaning of these solemnities shall be ex plained ; funeral discourses shall not be pronounced, except at the desire of the family, and for a retribution. On the Sabbath a discourse shall be held in German, in every Synagogue, after the reading of the prescribed passage of the law, and of a chap ter of the Prophets. Gibraltar Papers to the 35th ultimo have been received. We notice in one of them an atrocious case of piracy upon the Speranaa brig in the service of the Greek Government, and stationed upon the coast to warn vessels from ap proaching the Turkish fortresses of Coron and Modon, blockaded by the Greeks. The crew, consisting of fourteen, were all murdered. Seven of the pirates have been taken through the vigi lance of Captain PECIIELL, of the S,ybille, and were to be instantly tried. An article from Malta states that the troops on board the Turkish fleet were 20,000 in number, commanded by Mame lukes, and disciplined by French Officers. Yesterday evening, soon after six o'clock, an express arrived at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs, in Downing-street, with dis patches from Sir C. STUART, our Ambassador at Paris, to Mr. Secretary CANNING. Count Mumma, the Hanoverian Minister to this country, is said to have quitted England, to make the necessary arrangements for the equip ment of the troops that are to proceed to Por tugal. Letters from Naples announce, that in conse quence of the departure of Mr. M‘DomALn, the English Consul, from Algiers, who also acted in that capacity for the king of the Two Sicilies, a new Consul had been appointed for the latter power, and had accordingly proceeded to Al giers, and had been received with great distinc tion by the Dey. Sir GEORGE Noon, who lately retired from the office of one of the Barons of the Exchequer, died at his house in Bedford-square last night.— This Learned Person, we believe, was upwards of eighty years of age, and preserved his facul ties unimpaired till within a short period of his death. As a lay wer, in the technical sense of the word, Sir GEORGE was deservedly celebrat ed, and for many years commanded at the bar a cunsiderable share of what is called the " heavy business" of the profession.—(Morning Paper.) At the west end of the town numerous depre. dations have recently been committed, by gen. teelly dressed young men, who have gained admission into the house under pretence of busi. ness with some part of the family, and, watch ing the opportunity, have decamped with any articles lying in their way. In this manner Colonel LESTOR, of No. 31, Manchester-street, Manchester-square, was on Wednesday rub bed, but the fellow, who gave his name John Ellwood, was fortunately apprehended in the course of yesterday, and in the evening underwent an examination at Marylebone Office. The servant who admitted him identified his person, and proved the loss of some coats from the hall immediately on his leaving the house.— He had pretended business with Gen. FULLER, who was there on a visit, and for whom he said he had a letter from Colonel MARTIN. Th e latter gentleman attended the examination, and declared the letter not to be his hand-writing. The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate. THE THEATRES. KING'S THEATRE.—The benefit of Madame I R ON ZI DE BEONIS took place at this Theatre last night, and attracted a very numerous assemblage of rank and fashion—a just tribute to the merits of this charming and accomplished singer. La Donna del Lago was announced for perform ance, but, owing to the indisposition of Madame V ESTRIS, Tancredi was substituted. Madame ltoNzt was enthusiastically received on her en trance, and went through her part with all the energy and spirit which marks her performance of Amenaide. Between the acts the Cachucha was danced admirably by FERDINAND and Ma dame RONZI VESTRIS, and DE BEGNIS gave the celebrated directions to the Orchestra, from the Fanatico per la Musica, in his best style. At the conclusion Madame norm was called for, and received the applause of the audience, which she acknowledged by gracefully curtseying to all sides of the house. The ballet La Noce du Village followed, and was, as usual, well sup- ported. ENGLISH OPERA house.--The audience, a very numerous one, were highly gratified last night in witnessing the restoration to health, as well as to the Stage, of that admirable actress Miss KELLY. She received on liar entrance that warm reception which her professional excel lence and private worth deserve. The character in which she appeared was Annette, in The Maid and the Magpie—a character which slit. has iden tified with herself, and which she represented with irresistible pathos, and excites full sympa thy in her audience as ►ell as the warmest ap plause. Gcrrard was admirably supported by BARTLEY, and Blaiso by Pow ER. A Mr. C. F. YOUNGE, from America, performed the part of Evcrard, who, notwithstanding his evident timi dity, discovered talents that deserve the importation. Another new candidate, named PEmuNs,appeared in the little part of Francour, to which, little as it is, he gave all requisite interest. We remember this actor at the Tottenham-street Theatre, and his merit in Young Norval and other parts, was so prominent, that we are not surprised that he has attracted the notice of the active and judicious Manager of this Theatre, from whom he may reasonably hope for all due encouragement. The piece itself went off with very great applause, and was announced for repetition with enthusiastic assent. AFRICAN THEATRICALS. The following letter has been addressed to Mr. M I,TIIEWs, the Comedian, by Mr. HEwLETT, the Chief Performer of the African Theatre, New York : • MY DEait MATHEws.....The old proverb, " out of sight out of mind," although exemplified by you individually, is not, I am happy to perceive, nationally; for though I have not been honoured with a line from you since' you left our happy shores, your pockets lined with golden eagles, and your face puckered with smiles, yet I was rejoiced to perceive, by the Anti-radical Papers, that you had not forgotten that there actually existed such a small spot as the United States of America. From the aforesaid Papers we have learnt that you had been treating John Bull with a laugh at brother .Jonathan, by . reciting your travels in this country, doubless, with all that wit and gaiety, that whim and humour, that genius and gusto, for which you are so eminently distinguitNed. This is all fair. You have made the welkin roar by your inimitable hits at John Bull on this side the Atlantic; where is the justice in withholding a reciprocal roar at us in good Old England? But, my dear Mathews, in your new entertainment, I lament to say, you have given one cause of complaint. You have, I perceive, by the programme of your performance, ridiculed our Allican Theatre in Mercer-street, and burlesque me with the rest of the Negro actors, as u y are pleased to call' us - mimic our 'styiett—imitated our dioa lect—laughed at our , anomalies—and lampooned, O shame ! our complexions. Was this well for a brother actor ? At your earnest and pressing solicitation I performed several of my best parts; was perfect to a letter ; and, although it war a hazardous experiment, I even attempted your celebrated Mail Coach, which met with your unqualified approbation. Imagine, therefore, my grief, when receiving a package of Newspapers, franked, I believe, by my friend Canning (who, by the bye, has made an elegant speech about African Emancipation, &c.), in which we are all unmercifully handled and mangled in your new enter tainment, called a Trip among the Yankees. I was particularly chagrined at your sneers about the Negro Theatre. Why these reflections on our colour, my dear Mathews, so unworthy your genius and humanity, your justice and generosity ? Our im mortal Bard says (and he is our Bard us well as yours ; for we are all descendants of the Plantagenets, the white and the red rose)—our Bard, Shakspeare, makes Desdennota say, " I saw Othello's visa ,re in his mind." Now, when you was ridiculing the " chief black tragedian," and burlesquing the" real negro melody," was it my " mind," or my " visage," which should have made an impression upon you ? Again, my dear Mathews, our favourite Bard makes Othello, certainly an interesting character, speak thus : " Haply, for I am black." This is as much as to say, 'tis happy that I am black. here then we see a General proud of his complexion. In our free and happy country, custom and a meridian sun have made some distinctions and classifications in the order of society relative to complexions, " 'Tis true, 'tie pity, and pity 'tie, 'tie true ;" but in England, where these anomalous distinctions are un known, nay, where international marriages and blending of colours are sometimes seen, what warrant can you have for lampooning our complexion ? Let me not be considered as censuring your course of enter tainments. lam so much the servant of the public, as office holders would say, that I am even proud to be laughed et; and certain I am that no man on earth can raise a laugh at others' expellee equal to yourself. In short, you have my entire good wishes; but, my dear Mathews, remember when you next ridicule the " tincture of the skin," do not forget the texture of the mind. I am always most affectionately and respectfully yours, Il ENV UM'? Chief performer of the African Theatre, Mercer-street, which will be opened one night only for my benefit; tailor and coa' scourer, John-street. THE WEST INDIAN.—It is erroneously stated in a Morning Paper that this Comedy never was represented at Covent-garden Theatre. The fact is that it was brought forward at that Thep tre in the season following that in which it first ap.. peered at Drury-lane. WoonwAan was the Belcour, but though a superior actor to KING, the latter made the first impression, and therefore Woonwano resigned the part. It afterwards first introduced that admirable actor, the late Mr. Lewis, to the London audience in the part of B e l cour , at Covent-garden Theatre, and gave an auspicious promise of the excellence which rendered him in due time the chief comic actor of his (lay. MU. SINCLAIL—The sons of Handel, who rank amongst the very first of our musical societies, have judiciously availed themselves of the pre sence of Mr. SINCLAIR in this city, to pay a com pliment to his distinguished professional talents, by inviting him to their annual dinner, at Morri son's, on Friday, the 9th inst. Testimonies of this kind are honourable to both parties, to those who give and him who receives, and so Mr. BRAHAM felt last year, when he favoured the society with his company at their anniversary dinner.—(Dublin Freeman's Journal.) THE KING. WlNnson, JULY fl.—lt is expected his MAJESTY Will visit the Castle this afternoon, attended by Mr. Wyatt, for the purpose of inspecting the alterations. It is also expected that his Majesty will leave the Royal Lodge in the Great Park, to morrow, to make a short stay in London. Mr. Wyatt, the Architect appointed to direct the improvements at the Castle, arrived this morning at ten o'clock at the White Hart Inn, whence he proceeded to the Castle. After a short stay, Mr. Wyatt departed for the Royal Lodge in the Great Park, where he had an interview with his Majesty. FASHIONABLE CHANGES.

The Examination of the School of the Irepery Mission of the Society fur Promoting Christian Knowledge. • The Annual Examination of the above School was held on Wednesday the lith of December last in the old Mission Church at Vepery, and was honored with the attend ance of Lady Munro ' and many Ladies and Gentlemen, 31em bees of the Madras District Committee, anti others were also present on this interesting occasion. The examination was most ably conducted in English by the Rev. Mr. Roy who kindly undertook that duty at the request of the Missionaries, and in Tamil by the Rev. Dr. Itottler. The number of children present was about 340. They con sisted of Ist, the 18 Boarders, supported by the Legacy of the late Rev. Mr. Gericke-2d, The English Boy's School-3d, The English Girl's School-4th, The Tamil Boy's School,- 1 sth, The Tamil Girl's School--nearly the whole of those are the children of the country-horn Portuguese and Tamil congregation, belonging to the Vepery Mission. The day school, which includes the whole number, with the exception of the sixteen boarders, was established in 1819, and opened on the 18th October of that month, and has risen to its present state of efficiency under the care of the Rey. Dr. Bottler, and of his active and zealous coadjutors, the Rey. Messrs. Ilaubroe and Falcke. Its chief object is to secure to the offspring of the poorest members of the congregations a re ligious and useful education, anti it is therefore professedly a " Christian School," on the principles of the Established Church, but it admits any who desire to be instructed. there, anti to conform to its rules anti principles. After the usual School Prayer anti singing a Christmas Hymn, tho Children were examined in reading the Holy Scriptures, and in the comprehension. of what they had read, in spelling, and in at ithmetic, which are taught on Dr. Bell's Plan ; and in the Church Catechism. Aftertlit;Ciamination was closed, rewards were distributed to the most deserving; of the Scholars of the different classes, and the th ree b es t munitors had the honour of receiving' each a Silver Medal from the hands of Lady 411 u 14 no, who obligingly complied with the request, that she would bestow these princi pal rewards.—The Medals were for " Talent, Industry, and Correct Conduct." The Company then proceeded to visit the different parts of the s c h oo l, and inspected the registers of good conduct, and the specimens of writing and of the works done by the children. Those consisted of needle-work by the girls of the English School, which was observed to be remarkably neatly and well executed —stockings knit by the Tamil girls, and shoes made by the boys—who are also learning to bind books and cast type, observe, nrvtelieir learning, as in their and are employed in the printing pre*, that the children had Inn aa l (n t i I ie w avl a e s wr y l o n rc g iku l s t i l ,c y ski iplysince o satisfactory gtiTt) es i ,lasta stoeolbl examination.

WINCHESTER, JULY B.—Yesterday poor Mr. RENNF.LL was committed to the silent mansion of the tomb, in a new vadlt made on purpose in the north transept of our Cathedral, and as it was intended that his wife and sisters were to follow his remains to the grave, the Close gates were not opened till after the interment of the corpse ; in addition to the Ladies mentioned above as mourners were, his two brothers, three of the Messrs. Delafiehl, two Messrs. Lee, and Dr. Little hales. The pall-bearers were the Bishop Elect of Barbadocs (Dr. Coleridge), the Christian Advocate in the University of Cambridge (Mr. Lonsdale), and the Rev. Mr. Taylor (Curate of Kensington, to whom the late Mr. Rennell presented the Lincolnshire living the day before he died), Dr. Williams (Head Master of NVinchester College), the Rev. the Chancellor Legge, and the ltev. Mr. John Salter ; the three first-men tioned Gentlemen came from London especially to attend the funeral. It is not very generally known that Mr. Rennell re fused the Bishopric of Calcutta, but such is the fact. A higher character as a Divine, or a better character as a Christian, few • Divines have left behind them ; and he also possessed, in the strictest sense of the word, that benevolence which St. Paul extols so much.—" Regutacat fn pm 1" A, SUDDEN RECOLLECTION.—An Indian of the Abipones (an equestrian people of South America) was about to he baptised. " You will certsinly go to Heaven after this ceremony, when you die," said the Jesuit who was to christen him : the Indian was content. Just as the wate r was on the point orbeing thrown, however, a doubt arose in the mind of the savage.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-(Tux: DAY ) l'lcKeocKETs.—Two lads, named Flinn and Vall4, were Indicted for picking the pocket of a gentleman named Williams, Friday evening last, in R.egent-street, near tho Argyll Rooms, of his pocket-book. It appeared there was four of them in company when the robbery was corn mitted, but only the two prisoners were appre• hended. The facts of the case being clearly made out against Flinn, he was found Guilty, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, and hard labour. The other prisoner was discharged with an appeal to time lad's parent, from the worthy Chairman, to keep his eye strictly upon the youth, to prevent his coming to a bad end.—Ellen Conner was also sentenced to three months in the House of Cor rection, for stealing coals from the Adelphi NV bail. SUICIDE PREVENTED. On Wednesday morning, a young gentleman, named Roper, who for some months past has oc cupied apartments in a boarding-house in Camden town, attempted to put a period to his existence by poison, which rash design was happily frus trated by timely discovery on the part of a female servant, who lived in the house. Mr. Roper appearsorery respectably connected in Not. tiughamshire, but, from some misunderstand ing with his friends, was induced to remove to the metropolis, where he unfortunately in dulged in a love of gaming, which very quick ly reduced him to the necessity of seeking assist• ance from home, which, for a time, was granted ; but repeated demands of that nature are seldom long complied with, even by the most boundless indulgence ; and to a pressing solicitation for pecuniary help, made about u fortnight since, a peremptory denial was returned. This disap. pointment produced an immediate and visible change in the character and spirits of the de. ludo d young man ; from being a pleasing and animated companion, he became sullen, morose, and peevish ; the repeated demands made by the tradespeople with whom he had incur. red debts, seemed to augment the irrita. tion, and serious fears were entertained of his meditating some injury to himself ; however, during the past week, his temper assumed a more placid character, and all sus picion gave way. On Tuesday evening, he ac companied a party toCovent•garden Theatre where he seemed in high spirits; on that night he did not return to his lodging, saying he should take a bed at the house of a friend. Between eleven and twelve o'clock the following day, he went home, and looked extremely exhausted, and in the most painful dejection of spirits. He soon after retired to his bed-chamber, where he wrote two letters for the night's post, both ad dressed to members of his family ; those letters he handed to the servant, and in great trepidation begged her not to neglect dispatching them in time; he also remarked that he had not slept am the previous ni4ht, and would get into bed, and desired, should any person call on him, to say he was front home. In the afternoon the girl went up to his room with some refreshment, and found him lying on the bed in his clothes, to all appearance lifeless, his eyes fixed and glar i and every feature frightfully distorted.— The terrified woman immediately informed the family of the circumstance, and surgical assist ance was directly procured. The ordinary means resorted to in such cases were for a con siderable time tried, without producing the de sired effect, the fuuctions of the stomach being much impaired by the rapid action of the poison. Repeated emetics, admit istered under the most discouraging prospects, at length MI6. ceeded in extracting the drug, which, on analyze- Lion, proved to be a compound of arsenic and op'utn. The unhappy young man has since coo tinned in a most melancholy state of mind, and but indifferent hopes are entertained for his perfect restoration, either of health of mind, or body, MICRCANTILE SHIPPING.
