We deem it our duty to continue to caution the public against relying on the apparent restoration of confidence in the South American Securities. We I "ve reason to know that the seeming improvement t►+ their value within the last few days has been c111 ('I1y effected by the combined efforts of the c°lltractors and other great holders of that species ' 3 l Stock, in the hope that, if they can succeed in them to a factitious value, circumstances 'nay occur that will enable the present holders 14 ) transfer them to other hands. We have no I.'"rsonal interest whatever in these matters ; but Fain, from a sense of our duty as Jour►ralists alone, solemnly . advise the inesTerienced to bt-ware! We have in ourlpreceding columns given fur 4.xtracts from Sunday's Paris Papers, the princi- Pal contents of which we anticipated yesterday 'V our express. s lt is but justice to the Philanthropic views of Mr. Ow EN, of New Lanark, to state that his In fant School at New Lanark furnished the model fOr the Infant Schools that are now increasing in } :ngland, and for the promotion of which a most rfispectable public meeting was yesterday held at Vrermasons' Hall. The teacher, indeed, of the Cost Infant School eitahlished at Westminster, 1 ;y - Mr. BaouGHAm, and one or two other Gen lieman, was brought for that purpose from New Lanark. The Agent of Lr.oyn's at Alvarado (for there is ►►o commercial station in the world, of any im- Portunce, where this eminent establishmeut is not l'epresented), under date the 24th of March, 'fates, that the Government of Mexico had, 00 the l7th of that month, repeated their interdic tio►► against all ini.ercourse with Spain or her colonies. The following is a copy of the official coinmunica tion " Secretary of War and Marine, the Supreme Executive lower has decreed as follows :-.-That no goods whatever, and under any flag, shall be permitted to be landed on the coast of the nation, which goods shall have been shipped in a port under the doMinion of Spain. During the voyage of 40 days from any 14. the Spanish American Colonies, and of four Months from Ilu roPc, the vessels will be allowed to return, but after these Periods they shall be declared goal and lawful prizes." Tile following has been given as part of a Pre fny by Air. QUIN, for an unpublished Memoir, said to have been left by the Ex-Em- Nror ITUIIBIDE, when he (pitted this country for South America• The Memoir itself will, it is said, soon make its appearance. In the mean I time, we can only say that ITLJRBIDE has gone ant (whatever may be asserted to the contrary) 'sutler enga gements to promote the views of the Spanish Government, Ivith respect to Spanish America. Whether the Ex-Emperor will be true to his present employers, or whether he will owe more set up for himself, if, on his arrival, hit should find his prospects of success very pro wising, are points on which it is of course diffi cult to speak with any certainty . :— , " Almost every vessel which came to England f rom Mexico, oroughtthemost earnest entreaties that he would return to that country. The letters stated that the Federal Republic held cigy a few of theprovinces by a fragile.bond ; that the Royalist or Bourbon party was exerting every art of intrigue to foment the intestine divisions. to.. ,which. the counter-revolution gave birth ; and that amongst the Republicans there was not Alf: hetent energy:or talent to organize a Government - that could' endure, nor sufficient personal influence, even..if it could! p dare, to render it popular. These letters deplored the miseries_ of a People without confidence in their Rulerii, the desti- - nies of the nation clouded, the channels of public happiness' obstructed, and the empire of religion (Qu. Superstition ?) hastening to dissolution; they called upon Iturbide by the ties of his birth, his friendships, and kindred—by the remembrance - of his aged father, who was still in Mexico, and by the more so tome obli ga ti o ns which he contracted towards his country by giv ing it the boon of independence,toretorn to that country.andonce more redeem it from destruction.—Gen. de Iturbide had besides Peculiar sources of communication, which left no doubt on his mind that Ferdinand would make another desperate attempt to Press back the rejected yoke of Spain upon at least a portion of her lormer Colonies. He had unequivocal reasons for knowing tha: this attempt would befavoured by every Member of the Holy Alli ance, and that the refusal of England to discuss the question in the new Congress, was the only obstacle .which prevented them from declaring their views, and from acting upon them in the face of day. He was not ignorant how much might and would be done by secret intrigue and dexterous corrup tion. That though Franc,e might not dare to lend her trans ports and legions to Spain, as she had prematurely promised, yet, that she might have a perfect understanding with the other Continental Powers, for privately . supplying FERDINAND With the means to fit out new expeditions, at the same time that the Allied Agents in the American Provinces would carry en the work of discord. • • * * He felt that he could no larger refuse the entreaties without sacrificing his duties to his country.—Uninfluerced by any view of personal aggrandise ment, he looked only to the independence of Mexico, which he had the glory to achieve, and' he determined, even if he were to Join the ranks as a private soldier, to take a musket in his hand, and shed the last drop of his blood in battle for that sacred cause." As we have always devoted great attention to the Commercial and Shipping Interests of this Country, we feel great pleasure in drawing the 4ttention of tl►e Public to an advertisement which Lai appeared in this and other daily Journals, Convening a General. Meeting to-morrow at the London Tavern, to take into consideration the formation of a Ship Canal between the English and Bristol Channels. The immense importance of such a measure must. strike every intelligent man on a moment's. reflec- The plan is stupendous but not vi sionary, and is likely to be atteuded with the most important advantages to the Empire and to all its relations and dependencies, by opening a more certain and • secure communication between Ireland and Wales, Bristol and Li- .n. et. tion. verpool, particularly at periods when travel ling by land is impracticable. In fact, the most sanguine expectations, arising from such a plan, will most probably be fulfilled to the utmost extent. Besides the preservation of our naval defenders, perhaps altogether the most valuable class of the community, is a colla teral advantage of essential importance, as the perils of bad weather, and all the dangers of the sea will be avoided. A free intercouri , e among all the places we have above aleationecl, will not only improve our mercantile interest but extend the arts of civilization and the em bellishments of life. Ireland will be brought nearer to London by three hundred miles, and the westerly winds which generally prevail eight months in the year, and now prevent the pas sage round the Lands-end, would be rendered subservient to a safe voyage to London by means of this Canal. But as all these considerations will, of course, be fairly and fully discussed at the meeting to-morrow, we hope to find that it is at tended by the most distinguished, intelligent, and opulent characters in the metropolis. THE ROYAL FAMILV.—The Duchess of c LA RENCE dined with the.

HENRY CONDELT., ESQ.-This Gentleman, who has long been known to the musical world, yesterday evening was released from all human cares, at his house in Battersea.. Ile had for many months been afflicted with a severe illness, which he bore with great fir►nness, hut at length sunk under the pressure of extreme pain and an exhausted constitution. He was not only an ad mirable performer on tl►e violin and pianoforte, but a composer of, musical works, which were marked, according to the subject, wits► elegance, feeling, and humour. He was many years a per former in the band at the Ki►►g's Theatre, and previously at those of Drury-lane and Covent garden. Though of a social spirit, he • was temperate in his habits, and a cheerful, agree able, and intelligent companion. His familiar designation of " HAartic CosIDELL" was the tribute of affection in which he was held by his numerous friends. No man was ;note ready to assist distress, or to give support and encouragement to unfriended merit. His good sense, knowledge of the world, and long expe rience qualified loin to be a most useful coun sellor in all the concerns of life, and no man was more willing, or better able, to advise. When he retired from the musical profession, the most re spectable members of it joined in an address to him, testifying their admiration of his talents, and their respect for his character. To his relations he was always kind, affectionate, and' bountiful, and, within h►is circle of action, none could be more esteemed, and none can leave a reputation .more honourably acquired, and more justly de -1,. -erved, by worth, talents, judgment , and bene vOlence. • ArrAins OF SOUTH AMERICA.—The question I respecting the recognition of South American Independenc e, :by the British Government, chiefly engrosses public attention, especially as it is now known than France has sent out diplo matic agents to that part of the world. The Courier thought proper to assert, a few evenings since, that Mr. U.AxN INC in tends to make a communication to Parliament on the subject, before the prorogation ; but what the nature. of the communi cation is to be, the Courier, with all the aid it derives from its second s4o.lit did not pretend to fortel ! It is really ridiculous to trifle in this manner with the public, on matters respecting which the Courier is wholly ignorant ; for the assertion that a communication is about to be made, is nothing more than one of those guesses, which, being tolerably well calculated, stands a better chance of being realized, than of being falsified ! There is nothing like trusting sometimes to one'sgood luck ! However, all that we ourselves know on this imponant subject, is, that an cmineht Statesman lately declared, in the course of conversation, at Paris, that the recognition of the Independ ence of the South American Colonies by the English Govern ment, would become incompatible with the peace of Europe. Indeed, this language is not confined to one Statesman on the I Continent, but has been uttered by many. Of course, (even assuming this information to he true), our Secretary for Fo ! reign Afiairs is not a man to be bullied out of the course of policy he had resolved on pursuing, supposing him to be of opinion that the independence of South America is an object for which the peace of Europe might be sacrificed. Every day brings such information from South America, as makes it ex ceedingly difficult for any Ohvernment to decide upon the con duct it means to adopt ; and if, superadded to that difficulty, there be the consideration that the danger of a war with all Europe might be incurred• for the sake of a act at best precari-. ous as to its results, it certainly will afford ample grounds for a pause before the country is finally committd in the support of the new transatlantic States.—(British Monitor, June 6.) Advices from France state, that the French Government labours incessantly in the formation of the great canal which is to join the 'thine with the Sarre, Meurthe, Moselle, Miles, Marre, Sz.c. and so in this manner unite the Mediterranean Sea and the Ocean with the interior of France. The Canal, it is understood, will follow the course of the Vizouse or the Saron, and will pass by Nancy. The Salimen Canal between Serulde and Deuze (passing through the Valley of Seine) will be carried as far as Metz. 'Ere long it is expected that it will be completed. CAPE OF Goon HOPE, IVL 2G.—The report of nine vessels being wrecked at the Mau ritius is erroneous ; the losses were at Bourbon, and principally coasters. It is M.

General AINEAR prcceeds to the United States, where he is appointed Minister. 4, - , ,-; ‘ ,.. -,7 4 -4 4 .. t. pi: 5-4 a, • 1 :1 11 k - ,_" '' - '''o, , cfmk , ,,- ~ .5 , ? r: )% : 1 , 4 - V; s zi. n : -3 • -, 4e..-4 -: -. 4 zv: - _isr4:A q _,-, 4 4 z.. - 4 - 01 - „„,:e . -4. r , ; , .....-t....4 - g , --- )4. ~ i i 4 4.

THE_ THEATRE. Dali-LANE.—Mr. ELLISTON, the enterpris ing Lessee and distinguished ornament of this itY Theatre last night took his annual benefit. The play - Was The Ilgpocrite, which we have noticed as -admirably performed at this l'heatre. The Farce was The Liar, in which Mr. Er.LisTos performed the part of Young Wilding, with no alateinent of" his juvenile spirit.—ln the course of the performance he came forward and ad dressed the audience in the following manner : " toidie3 and Gentlemen,—While I roost respectfully beg leave to return you my cordial thanks for the ample patronage with :which you have honoured me on this occasion, allow me— permit: me, to explain to you how notch I have been cheered by the general favour which has been shewn me, through so large a portion of time as that in which I have had the honour of atrugeling on this spot for your favour. " Five years are now nearly elapsed, since, under the present administration, I was induced to take the conduct of the com plicated affairs of this Theatre, and, I may add, of retrieving it from its pecuniary pressure and embarrassments (ap plause) ; and I am now enabled,. thank God, to state, that, un der the present direction, its debts are decreasing, that a short time will see them entirely paid, and that the shareholders, by whose subscriptions this edifice has been erected, will ultimately realize that price for their shares from which they deteriorated, and that they will be raised to their full and original value.— (Applause.) " I mention net this prosperity , with the view of raising my own credit, I.y speaking of my individual industry, but to chew that where the - manager of such an establishment is zealous and persevering, the public will second all his efforts. And, Ladies and Gentlemen, I can honestly assure you, that I could have effected nothing without the aid of British liberality.— ( Loud applause.) " To you, Ladies and Gentlemen, I owe every thing on my part ;—on you I confidently rely for the future ; —and, believe me, that while I say I can only live by the fair profits and emoluments of my labour, those profits shall be but a secondary consideration to that high delight which I shall ever meet in sharing your generous protection. 7" As a pledge that I shall not relax any effort to please you , r be g leave to notice, that reports have been circulated of the - speedy secession of many of your favourites from this theatre ; but such reports, I take pleasure in stating, arc totally ground less. lam willing to suppose that these reports originated in mistake rather than in malignity or hostility to this establishment, for with the exception of Mr. Munden, whose loss to the stage every lover of the histrionic art must deplore—(applattse)—l can assure you confidently of the continuance of almost every one of your favourites for the next season, with the additional talent to be gathered from the provincial theatres ; and let me add to the lovers of music, the engagement of a gentleman so generally esteemed, I mean Mr. tiapio. " I fear, Ladies and Gentlemen, that I have too long in truded upon your patience, and I shall only repeat the expres sion of' my heart-felt gratitude, and my fixed resOlutiou, by .every the most arduous effort, to merit the continuance of the public favour."—( Loud applause.): This speech was received with repeated ap plause, and was delivered with marks of fervent sincerity. Madame CA'I'ALAN7, 1110 . SP generous feelings are well known, volunteered her ser vices, and sang with the most brilliant success. The house was thronged in all parts, and both audience and actor had every reason to be highly gratified by the events of the night. NEW SURREY THEATRE.-ThisTileatre,which, a s we before stated, is much improved in - beauty and conveniFnce, last. night brought forth two novelties. The first is styled Genevieve, or the Murderer of the Pgrenees, and Dr. Faustus, the memorable hero of our infancy, cave the title to the second. Both of these pieces abound in amusing, interesting, and terrific incidents, which convey the stories clearly to the minds of the audience. Both were well supported by the Performers, and received the sanction of general approbation. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING-1100M, JUNE 7, '.—ST/IT% OF THE ODDS. ST.

The space on which the fair is now held is situate near the Creek Bridge ; here were to be seen giants and dwarfs, learned pigs, and big-faced ladies. 'There were also several booths for refreshments and dancing, among which the Crown and Anchor stood pre-eminent.

It was in the Park, however, that the best amusement was to be found ; crowds were there to he seen running down the different hills, and others were strolling about its delightful walks ; in other parts, groups of both sexes had collected to join in the rural sport called " Kiss in the ring." Towards evening the boys, belonging to the Naval Asylum col lected in front of the Park, and sang " God save the King," 4 4 Rule l3ritannia," and other na tional airs.

[BEFORE THE RECORDER.] CARLILE'S BLASPHEMOUS LIBELS. William Campion, formerly a shopman in the employ of Cathie, was put to the bar on an in dictment. charging him with publishing, in the month of May last, a blasphemous and most scandalous libel of and concerning our 1101 y [Religion►. There were no less than three other indictments against the prisoner for simikr offences. Mr.SnEr.ToN In tying read over the indictment against the prisoner, asked him if he wa, guilty or not. Prisoner.—Not Messrs. BOLLAND 1114 d I3F►tN,.lr.n conducted the case- for the prosecution. Mr. R. having pointed out the libellous passages to the Jury, called • Thomas Drummond, one of the messengeri of the Bow-street Police-office. Knows t h e house No. 8, Fleet-street ; the name of Carlile was over the door ; went to the shop on the sth May and saw the prisoner there; bought of him " Pagne's Age qf Reason," for which he paid him 4 shillings. Witness asked the prisoner if he were to take half-a-dozen of them if he would take a less sum ; the prisoner said he would take 25 per cent. off. It ECU D Mt.—Prisoner, do yon wish to ask this witness any question before the book is read ? Prisdner.—When you have done with him. RI:CORDER.—D6 you wish to a,k any question ? Prisoner.—No. I don't want him. The work was here put in and read, so far as the passages charged in the libel required. Durinr , the reading by the Cleik of the Ar raigns trle prisoner attentively followed each sentence, having been furnished with a copy of the indictment. The case for the prosecution having closed, the prisoner was called on for his defence. He read from a written paper, of considerable length, what he might term an exculpatory an swer to the accusation, but which, in fact, was merely a repetition of what had formerly•been set up. After going at soma length into his defence, he conimencefl reading extracts from the Creed of Paine, and defended his opinion as laid down in his works, until the Jury 'at length interfered. The ltEcono En regretted that the Jury should. have been under the necessity of hearing such shocking observations as had fallen from the pri soner, and observed, the only reason why the Court had not before interfered, was that he wished it not to be hereafter said that the pri soner had not been allowed to defend himself.— lie, however, hoped be would forbear. Sir C. S. HUNTER said, he fur ooe would not sit and bear such blasphemy. _ The prisoner said he had no other way of de fending himself, and he• was allowed to proceed. Sir C. S.lltiNTuit again stooped his reading an offensive passage, hot the prisoner again pro . - ceeded, and concloded with imploring the JUry not to send Idol to a jail for publishing a'worl. which he from his heart felt to contain nothing injurious to moral feeling. lie called no witnesses to speak to his character. The IIccoRDER summed up to the Jury ; and returned a verdict of Guilty. AIERCANTILE SHIPPING.
