MISCELLANEOUS. Sir Jour; MALCOLLThe insinuations of Sir JOHN MALCOLM'S friends, that Mr. CANNING " i 1 at the bottom of the negative, without any reason assigned, put by the Board of Controul, " on the appointment of that most able and ac " complished Officer and Statesman, Sir JOHN ic M ls ALCOLM, to the Government of Madras," — (Morning Chronicle,)---ar e as injurious to that hliviall's character as they are devoid of truth ; and we cannot, but regret that Sir J. MAr.coot ihoold lend him se lf, an d give his sanction, to calumnies of this nature, or allow such violent attacks to be made on His MAJESTIC . B Govern ment, as appeared in the same Morning Paper, on Saturday last in an article entitled, 64 East " India Patronage —Sir J. itlALcor.m." In this article, Sir J OHN ' S friends not only modestly live, TO HIM ALONE, all the credit for the con. duct and brilliant termination of the late Malt nubs war, and the settlement of Central India, but likewise most indecently insinuate, that it is probable, Sir J. MALCOLM'S friend and com panion, His Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON, 4 , 4 had assented to the ignoble sacrifice of the " honour and interest of his friend, and of his " C 'untry) to a mean spirit of official jobbing." ' W e cannot for a moment suppose that Sir Joiirt AlAt.cotaa was in any manner privy to this attack as the on the D u k e of WELLINGTON ; and we hope that, writ er of the article in question intends to home his o b servations on East India Patronage, he will make the amende honourable, and apo- Nise to the distinguished individual, who has beef_i s o wantonly an d unnecessarily brought for- W “Eq on this occasion.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.—.Mr. CANNING has faithfully kept his word as to his determination not to accept any public invitation, nor to avail himself of any opportunity that might present itself for the expression of his sentiments and intentions towards Ireland. His sojourn here has been a mere succession of private entertainments, the Inspection of the public buildings, rural excursions, and other occupations of a similar description. On these occasions he is for the most part accompanied by Messrs. North and Doherty, who seem to have taken upon themselves the office of :hewing to the Right lien. Secretary " the lions" of this metropolis. It is said he is very inquisitive for information respecting the institutions and other places which he visits, but Is extremely parsimo nious of any comment on what he sees or hears—his observa tion being that of every well-bred stranger.—one of general satisfaction. In sublition to the entertainments at which he has already been present, or for which he has accepted invi tations, may be added the circumstance of his having spent the whole of Monday in visiting the romantic scenery of the county of Wicklow (so celebrated in the Melodies of Moore), and having dined on the same day with the Earl of Meath. Ile slept, we understand, that night at his Lordship's seat, Kilruddery, and came into town late on Tuesday to fulfil his engagement to dine with Mr. Goulbom, where a se l ect part y had been invited to meet him. To-day he intends to be pre3 sent at a grand review which is to take place in the Phoenix Park, and to-morrow lie will dine with his Excellency the Marquis of Wellesley. Thus it would seem his visit has been one solely of relaxation and amusement; and this disposal of his time would be scarcely worthy of mention were it not that it has been endeavoured (we believe incorrectly) to connect the visit of Mr. Canning with a political proposition of no less importance than that of negociating with the Marquis of Wellesley for the acceptance of the office of Premier, on the rumoured retirement of Lord Liverpool, in conse quence of ill-health. Besides, from the large space which Mr. Canning occupies in the favour and attention of the people of England, it may not be uninteresting to mention his movements trifling and unimportant as they may appear to be. Mr. Canning has accepted invitations to the latter end of the week, which makes us satisfied that his departure will not be so immediate as from the express of yesterday had been expected. A more important topic (though one of local interest) than even the visit of Mr. Canning, is the rapid pro gress which the Catholic rent has made throughout this coun try. The Catholic Association have alre a dy by th e i ns ti tut i on of this impost collected in a few weeks a sum exceeding two thousand pounds. The collection of last week was nearly three hundred and fifty pounds, and it is expected the receipts of the present week will be over five hundred pounds, with a likelihood of a progressive increase. When it is considered that this col. lection is made by contributions of a penny a week—a fact is furnished which is a practical refutation of the opinion that the Catholics are not generally interested in the result of the ques tion of Catholic emancipation. It is maid the Association is about to erect a large building--a sort of senate-house for holding their public assemblies. Time attention of the Irish Government has been already attracted towards its daily growing greatness and influence.—(British Press.) The Dublin Papers state that Mr. CAWXIIIO was to leave that capital for London this day. The Right Hon. Secretary will thus have remained the time he originally contemplated.— His return to his laborious ilutiee at the Foreign-Office has been in no way influenced by the demise of the King of :'ranee. It appears by the Papers above mentioned that 11r. Canning dined with the Earl of Meath on Monday ; and on Tuesday with Mr. Secretary tioulburn. On Wednesday he was to be present at a review in Phoenix-park, and afterwards to dine with his Excel lency the Lord-Lieutenant. A Messenger, we understand, was sent off on Thursday afternoon from the Foreign Office, with letters and dispatches, for Holyhead, where he was ordered to await the arrival of Air. Canning.--( Morning Post, Sept. 26.) The Right Hon. Secretary for Foreign Affairs, yesterday dined with Mr. Ooulburn. This day there will be a Review in the Pluenix Park, of the troops composing our garrison, at which Mr. Canning will be present. He will afterwards dine with his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant. On Friday, Mr. Canning will positively sail for England. It is stated that it had been the intention of Mr. Canning to prolong his visit, but that circumstances connected with the death of the King of France, render his p re sence indispensable in L o n don. However i we might h ave feltinclined to doubt the possibility of a Statesman being actuated by privatemotivesalone in visiting a country so in. teresting to the Political world, as Ireland undoubtedly is ; still we must confess that nothing has occurred, during the rest. dence of Mr. Canning amongst us, to give public importance to that event. Mr. Canning has declined public addresses, and public invitations, and, although it i s not exactl y charac. teristic of our war m-hearted countrymen to decline pressing their hospitality upon a visitor, yet the Right Hon. Secretary appears to have evaded their importunities, in his public capacity, with great facility. 'We know nothing of the private engagements of Mr. Canning. We hope they are calculated to render his absence from public and official duties a source of such relaxation, as will ena ble him, on his r eturn, to a pp ly himself to his Ministerial functions with encreased vigour; and we hope, moreover, that he may, en p assavt, have acquired someinformation regarding our unfortunate country , which may be useful to hiraself and advantageous to (Dublin Star, Sept. 22.) POETRY. LINES ON THE LOSS OF A SHIP. Her mighty sails the breezes swell, And fast she leaves the lessening land, And from the shore the last farewell Is waved by many a snowy hand; And weeping eyes are on the main, Until its verge she wanders o'er; But, from the hour of parting pain, That bark was never heard of more t In her was many a mother's joy, And love of many a weeping fair For her was wafted, in its sigh, The lonely heart's unceasing prayer ; And, oh ! the thousand hopes untold Of ardent youth, that vessel bore: Say, were they quenched in waters cold For she was never heard of more ! When on her wide and trackless path Of desolation. doomed to flee. Say. sank she 'midst the blending wrath Of racking cloud and rolling sea ? Or, where the land but mocks the eye. \Vent drifting on a fatal shore ? Vain guesses all—her destiny Is dark—she ne'er was heard of more I Tho moon bath twelve times changed her form. From glowing orb to crescent wan ; 'Mid skies of calm, and scowl of storm, Since from her port that ship bath gone; But ocean keeps its secret well, And though we know that all is o'er, No eye hath seen—no tongue can tell Ber fate—she ne'er was heard of more Oh t were her tale of sorrow , known, 'Twere something to the broken heart ; The pangs of doubt would then be gone, And } ancy's endless dreams depart: It may not be !—there is no ray By which her doom we may explore; We only know she sailed away, And ne'er was seen nor heard of more !

His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex expressed his gratifi cation in the warmest terms throughout, and his feelings were strongly participated in by all present. In the evening of liVednesday, every seat was taken at an early hour, and num bers were obliged to stand during the whole of the performance, happy if they could do even that in a spot which would afford them any convenience for seeing as well as hearing the per. formers. The piece selected for the commencement was one of Mozart's symphonies, which wa s i mmediatel y followed by the 4, Battle of Hohenlinden," sung by Mr. BCllaniy, in a very fine and impressive manner. Miss Stephens, Miss Carew, 31r. Terrail, Mr. Vaughan, and Mr. B e ll amy, gave the Quintette, " Blow Gentle Gales," from The Slave, in which they were most deservedly encored. Mrs. Salmon afterwards sung a little song, to afford Mr. Nicholson the opportunity of a second time astonishing and delighting everybody by his performance on the flute.

Mr. Mow'Ast, of Dorchester, commenced hop picking on the 7th inst. upon his estate, at Milhorne St. An drew, eight miles cast from this town. The hops come down much heavier from the poles than in any former year, which is very gratifying to every person who is aware of the expence Mr. Mowlam has incurred in bringing his plantation to its present state of perfection; lie is the first in this county that embarked, to any extent, in a apeculation of that valuable production. It is now five years since he procured pl ants from Farnham, and engaged skilful persons from that nei g h. bourhood to superintend the planting as well a s t h e sue ceeding manuring season. The soil proving congenial, he Increased his ground nine acres (making fifteen acres in the whole) the following year, since which it has flourished far beyond his most sanguine expectation, and bids fair to remunerate that indefatigable and respectable individual in a very handsome manner. We trust that his success will be a stimulus to other brewers of this ancient borough, so renowned for its excellent strong beer, to turn their attention to the growth of hops, which will, as in the case of Mr. Mow. lam, supersede the necessity of their annual attendan ce at Wewhill, and ena bl e t h em to b rew their extensiv e stoc k with the produce of th e i r own p l antat i ons , which would no d ou b t be of a quality lit t l e i n f er i or , if any , to the best Farnliams.— (Dorset County Ch ron i c l e .)

Hamilton attempted his match for one hundred sovereigns to do fourteen miles in one hour and a half yesterday, on a measured mile to the southward of Epsom Race Course. Ile performed his first two miles in eleven minutes and twenty seconds, and the five miles In twenty nine minutest the ten miler was performed in one minute over the hour, and the pedestrian appeared confident of success ; he, however, was stopped in the thirteenth mile by a tendon starting in the right leg, and he lost the match, being unable to proceed. Itatneconr.—A curious race against time took place in this town on Tuesday laic. A man named Symes, who has been blind for many years, undertook, for a wager, to run in th e open street from West to East Bridge in four minutes, being a distance of nearly 900 yards. As a great number of persons, carts, waggons, and carriages were passing at the time, the pedestrian could not possibly h av e accomp li s h e d hi s task h ad he not taken the precaution of sending a friend before him to clear the course, and continue in conversation with him ; by this method he was kept in the right path, and won the wager, hav ing a minute to spare. _ _ BOXING. JACK MARTIN AND JEM BURNS.—These men met last night at Barry llolt's i and signed new articles for a fresh m a tch for 3001. a side, to take place on the :36th of 01.,•tober. Twenty pounds a side wa s p ut down ; eighty pounds a side to be put down on Tuesday next, and the remainder to be made good at Ben Burn's in Windmill -street, on the 31st of October. Spring to be the stake holder; and Mr. Jackson to name the place of fighting.--So nutty was ben on his nephew, that he offered to match him against Spring for 6001. ELOPEMENT.—The Dublin Star gives an ac count of the elopement of a young and beautiful wife from Dublin, with a man named Vitch, who has a wife now on a bed of sickness, anti three children. The injured husband, a Mr. Carlile, followed the fugitives to Belfast, where he dis covered them, and was grossly insulted by the adulterer and adultress. The former stepped forward, and said that he would only part with the lady with his life, and the husband was then forced by his friend from their presence to prevent any serious consequences. Mrs. Carlile, immediately on her husband retiring, sent !din her wedding-ring, and desired he should be informed that she had left her locket and other trinkets, the pledges of their mutual faith, behind her in Dublin. This Mr. Vitch had lately a property in the county of Westmeath, which he contrived to dispose of, together with all his plate and furniture, p on pretence of removing his esta blishment to Dublin, tor which it was, lie said, necessary to have a new service of plate. It is supposed Mr. Vitch has 7,0001. in money , besides five or six trunks, containing property t o a considerable amount. Ills family is highly respectable, a nd two of his brothers were on the eve of matrimony, prey!. oily to this distressing occurrence. THEATRICALS. Ma. TALMA.—It is not generally known that this great tragedian, "who h a s b een engage d b y Mr. C. KaMRLR to play at Covent-garden s for It nights, is an Englishman. He was born in Dean street, Soho, and left England at a very early age, but his pronunciation of the English . lan guage is almost perfect. The personal character of Mr. TALMA is as amiable as his histrionic ta lents are at this moment unequalled, and his at tachment for his country is without bounds, 1- though his long residence In France has rendered him in some sort a Frenchman. Mr. Telma was the personal friend of Buonaparte, and was one of the few who dared speak openly to that ruler, and by his candour and good conduct he has con tinued, notwithstanding the liberality of his poli tical opinions, to secure the friendship of the leading members of the present dynasty. The house and purse of Mr. 'Palma have ever been open to distressed talent ; and the most fortunate of the literary and theatrical world —amongst whom we reckon John Kemble—were happy to cultivate his acquaintance. But Mr. Talma has a claim to the good will of Englishmen, which all their re spect and attentions cannot discharge. The monument erected in the South of France, at an expence of more than twenty thousand francs, to the memory of the daughter of our immortal Young was the work of Tal:na. There is some thing romantic and affecting about the history of this young lady's death. She was a Protestant, and the abominable bigotry of the Roman Ca. tholic priesthood denied to her corpse interment in consecrated ground. Under these circum stances, the author of Night Thoughtsdug a grave for his beloved child in his garden, and buried her with his own hands. This affecting scene has been perpetuated by a well-executed print, published in Paris ; and the erection of a monu ment by 'Palma will transmit an useful lessors to posterity. It is gratifying to state, that this act has met with the approbation of every reflecting and well-meaning man in France.— Indeed, we are happy to find that every day brings the well-disposed of each country nearer together, and that the absurd prejudices of na tionality, which once disgraced the English as well as the French, are nearly extinct. Nothing is so calculated to remove them altogether as the encouragement given to men of talents in both countries.—(Morning Paper.) ADMISSION BEHIND THE Su:NEL—During the performance of the Farce of Simpson and Co., at the Liverpool Theatre, on Tuesday night last, a great noise prevailed be hind the scenes; insomuch that Mr. TERRY, who was then on the stage, as Peter Simpson, desisted front repeating that which was " net down for hint," and called out, with Sten torian vehemence, " Silence !" The audience was astonished, few knowing the quarter from which the previous noise proceed.. ; but Mr. Terry came to the front of the stsge, and in few words explained the cause of his inadvertent exclamation, remarking upon the difficulty, to say nothing of the unples saneness under which an act or l a b oure d, w h o, i n t h e perform ance of his duty to the public was distracted and interrupted by noise made behind the scenes by persons unconnected with the Theatre, whose introduction could not for many reasons be sufficiently condemned. Three distinct rounds of applause followed this appeal to the audience, and the farce proceeded. without further interruption. (Extract from the Limerick Chronicle of Saturday.) Last night, The Itfortntainters was worroac.nt,a, the Farce Of Age To-morrow. Mr. !Ws; appeared as Octa viaa, and we deeply lament it, to a very thin house; in the third and last act he was most successful, when he recognizes his old friend, and recalls to his bewildered mind past happy scences. Aliss Cunningham, at Floranthe, did not evince suf ficient annimation or sensibility in the interview that followed, which required much greater exertion on her part. At the con , elusion, Mr. Clarke came for ward, and addressed the house nearly as we could collect, as follows :—" !Arlie. and Gentlemen, I ap pear before you with feelings of the deepest mortification. ex Manager of this concern, which has been fitted up as a Theatre at a very heavy expence, and for your gratifi- • cation: I had engaged the greatest actor of the day, the first perhaps since the days of Garrick, and calculated, in consequence, with meeting that share of patronage which would have encouraged and supported me in the en gagement I hail contracted, and which an actor of such eminent fame might deserve. The efforts, 4 did hope, would have remunerated me for the trouble and expence I had in curred ; but it is with much pain I now announce it, that I am obliged to co nc l u d e t h e engagement with this night's entertainment. In such a fine city as Limerick, a better opportunity could not have offered for re-esta- ' blishing a Theatre; but the attempt has failed, and Mr. Kean, with that feeling of liberality which distin guishes him, has released me from the agreement. anti prep up his claim to 401. a night, which had been entered into for the week yet to come, It will now, therefore, rest with - the public, as I have done my part, whether such a high professional character will be compelled to leave this great City unnoticed, from a want 'of patronage anti support— for a persevetance under such discouraging circumstances, would inevitably terminate in my ruin, and render me a bank rupt."—Mr. Clarke was heard with the deepest attention, and withdrew , amid loud applause, and cries of " Not yet, !ma week," from several voices. 'We shall not hazard the expres sion of a single syllable in the form of a commentary upon the above address, but shall leave it to produce its own impression upon the public mind. INVETERATE TECHNICALITY.—The usual place of resort for Dublin duellists is called the l'ifiecst Acres. An attorney of that city, in penning a challenge a s h ort t i me ago , thought. most likely, he was drawing a lease, and invited his antagonist to meet him at " the place called Fifteen Acres, be the same more or less !" New LIFE PRESERVEII.—On Thursday Mr. Scntetut made the public trial of his life pre. server amidst great multitudes in the Thames. Ile threw himself into the water at Temple-gall dens, and buckled a preserver under his arms. He then swam through Blackfriurs-bridge wilts great velocity, for the preserver was no impedi ment to his course. At different times as he pro ceeded!), unbuckled the preserver, squeezed the wind out of it, and filled it and buckled it on. Al! this filling and emptying was the work of a moment. Chow& of boats accompanied Mr. Scheffer, and feur or five lads swum over to him, and supported themselves down the river upon his preserver without the slightest effort. As soon us he approached near to London-bridge, he obliged the boys to leave him. He had determined to leap from London-bridge into the impetuous water,w lien its fall was most a w fu I, hut was dissuad. ed from so dangerous an experiment, by the argu ment that his preserver might, by preventing hin t ' W fence o sinking ttle c d o e n e c p u enough, ssi o n andsltarkeen render ly the vie. ein a power less. He swam to the centre arch, and d arte d thro ugh When he reached the eddies in th e river, be felt greatsu c i t t ion w i i s t i h th t e he m ost w at er, and ter ri fic is c() impetuosit y, h e would have been overwhelmed had he not had th e preserver on. lie carried a bottle of spirits and a glass in his hand, and was immensely alp• pleaded by the multitudes in the vessels and on the bridge. lie was two hours in the water.
