We regret to state, that besides the extensive mercantile failiwes in the City, to which we have Already alluded, two or three more respecta ble Houses in the Silk Trade, were yesterday un der the necessity of suspending their payments. Sir S. ROMILLY offered some remarks on the Laws of Debtor and Creditor last night in the House of Commons, in which every humane heart in the Empire will second him. The IVaithrilanites and Friends of Freedom• in the City, indeed, are for incarcerating for life the wretches whom a poultry debt may put in the pow-er of_ a paultry shop keeper.; but they will be foiled; We trust the day has arrived when the blessing of liberty is too justly appreciated to be left at the mercy of vindic-• tine and rancorous revenge, which coops a man in a prison to satiate its diabolical hostility, and will pay for his misery there, rather than suffer him to• enjoy the common gitt of Divine gOoduess - to his species, enable hint• to satisfy their demand, and be an useful Member of Society.

'tiro At. the close of the poll last night, M.r. BAR CLAY addressed the ntttl►itutle amid loud and con tinned applause. He pointed out the folly of the denntOgucs in continuing to disturb the Borough by prolonging a contest so evidently hopeless. He hoped also that this attempt Would be a con vincing proof to them, that the Burdett principles were no longer palatablb even in the Borough of S6uthwark. The Bttrdettites .have to-day polled five votes in the last three hours ! Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of . YQ!;1( held. a levee, as his office at the Horse Guards. Yesterday the LORD CHANCELLOR and the Earl of LiVEnr,oot. had audiences of the PRINce.RE ' GENT at Carlton House. Up to January 20, the Cadiz expedition had not sailed, nor was it expected to sail till the .he ginning of February. Another gun-boat had been added to the naval armament. On the 18th, Ge neral illctßit,Lo addressed an irder of the Day to his soldiers. • Sow letters reached us yesterday from South America, which rernoVe art doubt as to the suc cessful operations of the:Spliniards in the provitwe :of Chili, and add some facts with which we. were unacquainted. The troops - composing the .expe dition frout•Lima, entered•St: Jago, the capital, .ort the sth of October, when the insurgent autho• Titles precipitately left the place, undertook a long and dangerous journey across the Cordilleras, and sought refuge in Mendoza; which, however, they were hnmediately • ordered to quit by the Gover nor, and nothing since has been beard regarding them. The Note of Count MUNSTER, of October the 21st, in which he strenuously contends that nei ther the dissolution of the old German Empire, nor the Confederation of the Rhine, nor the Treaties since formed with Foreign Powers, can at all affect the internal right of the German na tions to representative goveenmenrs in their se parate States, has been looked on as conclusive an that point. The Governor of the Russia Company, in con sequence of information he has received at the Admiralty, has made the following communica tion to the Merchants and others in the Baltic Trade:— " Several applications having been made to the Admiralty for licences to enable ships to proceed to the Baltic witlwat convoy, the Governor of the Rtbsia Company begs leave to. inform all parsons so interested, that the Admiralty will not grant licences for any sucb purpo,es, but will be ready to ap-. point convoy:. to the Baltic the moment that a sufficient num ber of *hips will he ready to sail wider its protection!" The writ for a representative Peer of Ireland, will not be returnable until the 28th of March. The only Candidates are, the Earls of MOUNT CASHEL-and LEITRIM. It is expected that the former will be elected by a very large majority. 'lle Earl of GRANARD has been appointed Clerk of the Hanaper in Ireland, in the room of the late Earl of WESTMEATH. It is rumoured that the Earls of RoDEN, MERICK; and CHARLEVILLE; are tube immediate ly created Peers of Great Britain, which will oc -casion three vacancies in the Representative Peerage of Ireland; ll'i•ont the latest accounts from Batavia, it is understood that Camphor is bearing► an enortitotts price at that Islaild:owing to the great scarcity of the article in India. .NA VA L NEWS.

Spanish ship Maria and Francisca arriv ed here yesterday from the Havannah, in 31 days, a most remarkably quick passage : she is laden with cotton and tobacco, and is addressed to Jolt N . TuNNo, Esq. of your city. I. have had much conversatiun with the supercargo relative to the state of New Orleans, Lnd if there was much pro bability of COCHR . ANA'S Expedition succeeding.— He says, he had just left Pensacola before arriV ing at the Havanna'', having laden his ship at Pensacola from boats, which brought his cargo from New Orleans, and having himself been in the country, is able to form a good .Opinion upon the subject. Every bale of cotton and hogshead of tobacco had been remo-red vpwards of 100`miles into the interior, and about 15,000 men had been organized, and a great number of fite-ships lected in the river to prevent the bOats from pro. Ceeding up. Our EXpedition had 'arrived' upon the toast, aid was laying at Balize, but could not proceed up the river. In attempting to land *Kt boats, we had experienced a partial defeat.

Last night CniAttoss's serious Opera of Orazzie Curiazzi, was done at the Opera House, and Fashionable's whose memories can carry them so far back as a few months, to the exipub.t.e TicAmEzzANl and GRASSiNI in the principal racters, will agree with us in saying, that the Manager is a bold man to have ventured such a contrast so soon: He must have a very contempti ble opinion of public judgement, and a very sturdy disregard of the effects of public disappointment. Never do we recollect a comparison so, match to the disadvantage of any Performers, as ,that we are compelled to institute on this occasion. who sung in male attire, is much too fond of long songs. All that her judicious predecessor.; avoided, she has restored, and helped to retard the Qpera to an unreasonable bout., while adding nothing to its beauties. Experience will, we trust, teach her better for the date to come. Righi was in the place of Tranzezzani, and Fer/eois in that of Grassini ! No'more need be said on this topic— the bare mention of the names and the transposi lion proves the extent of the lihzl upon the town, and the insult to the audience. LA VASSEUR'S fine base was the only thing we heard with pleasure. The Opera finished at near 12 o'clock, and the Ballet an hour after ! In the Dirertizeinent VES. rats, jun. took the province of DE Catto, who is indisposed. Ma= a son tour! The home was thin ! No wonder While on tliis subject, to which we clain3 the merit of having'pointed the reprehension of the Public, we take the opportunity of inserting a letter (one of many we have received), which expresses the general sentiment of the Subscribers respecting th, present state of the Opera. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SIMI. SIR,—You will infinitely .oblige many of your Friends and constant Readers, by inserting the inclosed in the valuable columns of your Paper, at your leisure. It. is not merely marks of disapprobation that the perform ances of this place meet. with on (-,very repreaentatiun, but a de termined oppOsition appears manifest, particularly with the Subscribers, whocertaiulybave a just right, with an increased subscription, to expect the establishment to be on a better footing than of late years. The Continent -being open, pru per persons should hare been selected in engaging performers, instead of an obscure . disgusting Italian who accompanied the Manager for that purpose ; when instead o f going to Italy to make thee seteetions, they bent their co irce to (le r - many, where very few Italian -. Operas exist, It is therefore an insult to the freque.ot of the , Opera, to supp.,se they cats hear with' patience ehe•ptesent establishment, so deficient ill e.eetv respect. Thestrougvst proof of this , assertion is, that ate Opera, which rtm seventy nights imam:Aber country, was not *crated on its first reprevntatinn here, front the total derteietiey of talent in the performers; and yet the Manager leas had the conseienee to raise the sUbseription-of. the prin cipal boxes to three hundred and ttn .guitteas,.after having declared•himuilf, a few yettes since, at a Nue,ting or the 6111)- scribers at the Thatched House, that he steeqlit think himself will paid with two temdred and forty guineas, for these same boxes, though. at that period the expenees were nearly double witatthey are this preseutscason. A STii3SCIIIMER. THE TEI7.7,ATRE. DRURY-LPati---MiSS WALSTEIN took leave of the WWII last night, at this Theatre, in the part of Lady Town/y. It is with much pleasiwe we state that this 'Actress will carry back to Irelaud an augmentation of the fame which her talents had justly acquired in that country. It is very credi.:, table to our Hibernian fellow-snbjects, that an Actress of so much merit should have risen into such distinction among them, and not less so to the . London Audience, that without the bias , ; which the former might naturally be supposed to feel, in supporting a native of their country, the latter should have fully sanctioned the decision, its her favour. We have, indeed, never seen the cha racter of Lady Townly -supported with more truth,•judgment, gaiety, and spirit. Nor was she leSs effective in the last scene or self-reproach and consequent dejection. Miss WALsTets: is wholly exempt front affectation. She speaks with such ease ; precision, and clearness, as afford an ad-. mirable example to most of the Performers on the London Stage, male and female. The applause of an audience, not very numerous, but fashiona., ble and elegant, was on t hi s occas i on Very warns and frequent; and on her coming forward, after the curtain dropped, to testify her gratitude for the very favourable reception Which ,attended her during the whole of her engagement, she was saluted by g eneral and vehement m ar k s o f appro bation. Her demeanour, on this farewell cere mony, was highly graceful and impressive. The Prnry-lane Managers have strewn their taste and judgment by retaining so agre ea bl e an A ctress, and isle Public, we doubt not, will ,join with its in regretting, that they had not an opportunity of prolonging her engagement. We have before no. fleet' the rest of the performers in this excellent Comedy, but we may properly mid, that POPE, POOLL, anti Mrs. Oeoce., acquitted th e m s elv e S , very respectably Lord Townly, Manly, an ; { Lady Grace. 'We were afraid that DECAMP and Miss KELLY would have carried their rustieWag geries too far in Squire Dirk and Miss Jenny ; but they had evidently the toleration of the whole fa *Up of the Wrongheads. • WINDSOR, FEB.
