CEYLON. "CA NDT,'MA r€ 10.—Early in the afternoon of rsterdaVw:enarations ‘vere made for holding the -conference of the contracting parties, in the great ball of midience in the palace, but the governor il-clined using the adjoining room, Where the. Xing usually sat on occasions of ceremony, and Those to he_ placed within the hall, at the upper end, kvith his - back to the door of that tooni, which wits - divided off by a screen. • "'ll,e troops composing the garrisonpf Candy, with the corps of Ceylon. light dragoons, and the Ivl•l'tionar of Mujor Kelly's division, now here rr its mare!! to Colurnho, returning to Point de Calle, were drawn Up At three o'clock in the grit square' before the palace, where they iv 'ii wined, while the Adigari and principal Chiefs I , :lssed, and a part. formed a Jane to the door of the hall. _ . " Ehevlepola, late'Adigar, who has declined employment preferring - to remain in• re tirement, and Soliciting only the title of the r:.iend of the Blitish Government, entered first and al me. He was received with• particular inroks , )f favour and kindness by his. Excellency, and se it- , 1 in a chair on his right hand. acting on the occasion as first Adigar, then . came forwaral; leading in the Des saN of the provinces and other principal _Chiefs-, vl7ont tw my in number. The Governor rose up •to receive them, and (with Eheylepola) continued standing throughout the conference. ." A scene no less novel than interesting was "here presented, in the state and costume o f' the Candian Court, with the English Governor pre and the ball lined on both sides w ith I;ri ti.h Oaiccrs. . " The tonference began with complimentary inquit'ies on the part of the Chiefs, which were grac:Ons!y answered by the Governor, and mu- . tnal infinities made. His ff,xcellency then thanked the De,saves for the attention shewu to the troops, in tlleir various routes through the country to wards the capital, which gave occasion to the -Chiefi to .obserye, that they cOnsidered thein es nroteciors, and that, by the arrival of his Excel jency inn! the army, they had been rescued from tyranny and oppression. The Governor_ observed, be was gratified in having been the means of their deliverance. -He asFnred - theist of lull protection. in their persons, their property, and all their rights, and• added, that o lsilc lie had the honour of holding the 'ad ministration in the island, it would be. his INdv to tliem,experience the blessings of his Majes ty's benign Government. It was then intimated .to the Chiefs, that a paper had been prepared expressive of the prittei 7 pies on which the participation ot. , his Majesty's Government was offered to their acceptance, and that it was abput to be read, which they request ed might he done. " The Treaty was then read in English, by Mr.' Sutherland, Deputy Secretary to Government, and afterwards in Cingalese, br the Alodcliar of his Excellency's gate, Abraham De Sarcm. This important document was listened to With pro found and respectful attention by the Chiefs; and it was pleasing to observe in their looksA marked expression of. cordial assent, which was immedi ately dr.elared with great earnestness. " Ii - Excellency's cart of the conference was communicated to Me. D'Oyly, and by him to MOl ligodde Adi g ar, who delivered it aloud to the an thence. AChief of Venerable and command4,g aspect was the organ •of the assembly, whose person :and countenance were equally striking. Pis figure, the tallest present, was erect and portly ; a high and prominent forehead, a Intl. eve, and a strong expre , sion of natural vivacity, tempered with the gravity of advanced age, mark ed by a long, full, and graceful white beard : and the whole combined with his rich state dress, formed a subject for a portrait truly .worthy.of n able hand,'—his name was Milaawa, De . ssaye 'of Go4apala ; Ile was a great favourite o f t he King, and remained with him till a late period. This Chief collected the sentiments of the as setrhlk, generally in silence, but with occasional _explvmation, and delivered them to the Adigar, rrith the concurrence of the rest. Eheylepola, though not ostensibly engaged • in the conference, took a marked interest in every ~part it—his carriage was distinguished by a courtly adAresi, politeness, and ease, and he was evidently regarded by the assembled Chiefs with a high degree of deference, and respect. " After the Treaty was read in Cingalese, the Adigar Molligodde, and the other Chiefs, pro cYeded to the great door of the hall, where the Mohottales, Comas, Vidaans, and other subordi nate headmen from the different provinces were, attending with a great concourse of the inhabi tants—and the headmen being called on by the Adigar to range themselves in order, according to their respective districts, the Treaty was again read by the Modeliar in Cingalese—at the eon-- elusion of which the British Flag was hoisted fOr . the first time, and a royal salute from the can nonades, the city annolinced hiS • Majesty-George Int. Third, Sovereign of the whole Island of Cey . . " " Dated Candy, Mardi 3, 1815." A Gentleman • residing in Church-street,• teat nal-gte‘n, .a few evenings back going along Shore ditch, met two fellows, one of them came behind him and stfnck him a violent blow with some in strornent which knocked him from the tootwav into the street, here the fellow held him fast, while the lather rifled his - 11 - rockets of some silver, his Watch, gtild chain, and seal§„ and both ran off before he could give any alarm. • bight last sonic villains entered the bleacling'grOund of Mrs. Elizabeth Starrey of Croydon, and stole a .considel'able. quantity of bri) . ,so HSI) linen. Yesterday Morning, Mr. Field, of Canonbury lane, IslingtOn, had the - ate''g Of' his paddock broke open, and 12 fine turkeys stolen out of it.

CARLIFLE, Esq. F.,R. S. The Learned. Professor commenced by referring to the extraordinary political occurrences of the present year, and, their consequent influence upon the general state of the Arta in Great Britain, whose example had rallied the slumbering ener gies of Europe, and whose valour had mainly led to the re-establishment of that System of order and social intercourse in the world, so essential to the cultivation and advancement of those arts which embellish life:. The Learned Gentleman pointed, out, as the principal advantage 'arising out of this political change, the disPersion of that emporium of the works of Art, which rapacity had accumulated in a neighbouring e , tintry; wheie vanity and frivolity reigned, with uudi4turbed Tl•e restoration of the parts of this Collection.to the real owners of them; would give a stimulus to the different nations of the Conti nent, which night re-kindle that genius for,Art that °nee distinguished those countries. The Profc , sor ,then went to impress upon ,the minds of. the pupils in the British School, the necessity of a strict attention to the rules pre scribed by the loyal Academy—au institution con ducted with as much ability and worth as belong ed to any existing association. This School hail produced men who were ornaments to their pro-. fession. It were unnecessary to allude to living characters. Among those who I4d passed front life; there was an individual of acknowledged. emi nence—he had great failings, but he had great virtues—lie possessed a genius for the highest .walk of art, and a zeal and iodination to - advance its station, and with it the character of coun try. JAMES BARRY, the friend of BURKE, JOHN - - 5014 and GouismiTH, had, by his works in the room of the Society of Arts, - exhibited the powers of his bold and loniinous had:lft after . him 'a monument which would preserve the'pority of his name, when the frailties which_ overSha-. dowed, it would_ he no longer remembered. In his Works, as in those of his distinguished succes7 sors, would be found that solid display of taste and judgment which characterised the BritiA School ; amid would, he trusted, -still belong to it, in preference to tliat ephemeral - anti' trivial system, which had grown up elsewhere, and been trans planted by the whiM of fashion beyond die boun dary: of its primitive operation: After pursuing a general review of the state of the Arts, their moral qualities and, influence upon society, and the demeanour which the . phpils ought to cultiVate, the Learned Professor ititro 'duced a few general observations relative to the more immediate purpose of his dissertation—the study of anatomy--a study which . embraced three particular pursuits, namely=the science of .(11Cili-, Cif!c, that of natural history, and a close know ledge of the• human frame. It Was in this last view that it was the.n to be considered. The un lettered pupil need not he appalled from this branch of acquirement, by the technical Greek and L3tin names which were connected with its parts—these were.casilv surmounted. _ The Learned Professor here took a rapid survey of the practice of the Anatomical Schools, from the , time of ARISTOTLE to the present day ; he particu larly . and humanely cautioned the student against the Practice of that barbarous custom of torturing" animal life for the discovery of its ploperties—a: practice %ybieb had slibsiSted from the corruption of Greece till almost the present period : it was both vain and revolting. To torture the body for the. developemeo. of its compoifent attri bntelz, was as vile and odious as to pursue the same course to induce a confession from the human mind. Such a course had met universal reprobation from BECCARIA, JOHNSON, and other able writevs. : The pi oper, and indeed the only true mode to obtain anoinatical information, was by an, inspection of the figure after death. To the col lection of Models in the Academy, had been lately added, a dried 'skeleton, with all its 'muscular ac companinzents—this was peculiarly entitled to the inquisitive observation of the student, for from it he could learn and apply all the anatomical infor mation which was important for the attainment •of_distinctiOn in his profession. It was this study of Nature which perfected' the Arts in 'Greece, and made her Sculptors produce such su biithe works as that now exhibiting at the King's Alews, in modelled representation. - The Professor concluded his Lecture, which merely contained a set ies of desultory observations, by promising,, in - his next discourse, to enter upon the practical points of anatomical instruction, as connected" With the sudy of Art, and to accompany the de velopement of the principles by a suitable practi cable illustration, for which prepared skeletoni were arranged in the chamber. Almost the whole , of the Academicians were present on this occ.l - and an unusual concourse of Students. . The room is improved since the list Academic , Session, by the removal of the cumbrous and gro tesqtie lamp, which so long threatened injury to the roof of the builtting. _ _ CATASTROPHE 1N WELL-STREET.7 — The ruins of Constadt's concerns still issue forth -smoke and flame, and such is the jinn:Li - Ise heap of rub bish, that, notwithstanding the exertions of near ly 100 persons, it was not sufficiently removed at a late hour yesterday for exploring; that part.

The de fendants, under process of the Court, had -been ejected by the Sheriff from certain premises, but after ejectuient had recovered possession, by gain ing adini , .sion through the window: It was ob vious that the proceedings of the Sheriff might thus he continually defeated; unless the Court were in some'manner to interrose its authority. Mr. Justice HEATH was of opinion, that the actof the defendants constituted a forcible entry, for althe•ugh nor in itself a breach of the peace, it was likely to produce one. The CHIEF JUSTICE thought otherwise, and that there was no forcible entry. The•motion ter a;, tatachment must be granted of course. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Bow-STREET. DRURY-LANE THEATRR.----Soon after . the eon- • elusion of the Opera of the Siege of Belgrade, at Drury-lane Theatre, on Thursday night,' the au dience were -thrown into the greatest consterna tion and frightful state of agitation, .partienlarly the female part, for the safety of a man, although his conduct outraged all decorum, by getting frOrn the .upper circle of the boxes, passed some iron rails and spikes, which, till then, were con sidered impassable, and for which purpose they were put up : he passed from them unto the top of the cornice, over one of the private boxes, over the stage, which was not considered foot hold,. or sufficiently strong to support the weight of a Man. He then became the object of atten tion of the whole audience ; be sat &Alm by the side of the box ; great numbers vociferated— " 'roil) him out," &c. every one in the Theatre expecting every moment to see him precipitated to the bottom, and from that tremendous height be must have been dashed, to atoms. He changed his tlasj t ion from sitting . by the side, and sat to the front with his legs hanging over, kicking his !tech and singing, ''Turnhim out !" The Ma nagers Mustered the Police officers, and directed them-to remove him, but at the same time to use all due prudence to prevent hint from. falling. On their getting to the spot, they very civilly re quested hint to remove, but he refused ; he was then standing up ; one of the officers reached rottud4he spikes; and seized the fellow by the collar, and with some difficulty got. him 'away, the afiCer. being - in very imminent danger of be ing pulled over—he was secured by several per sons holding him for safety. . When he was got into the boxes he:resisted moat violently, and was actually obliged to be carried out by the officers and 'the door-keepers : he . was conveyed to St. Clement's watch-Youse, where he femained dur ing the night of yesterday. Ile was bronght !.0 the Office by - jot - in Baker and Williarn.Clements, the constables who apprehended him, when he said his name was Edward Umfreville, that he was a naval officer, and had been drinking freely, which was the cause of his violent and improper conduct. Mr. NARES, the sitting Magistrate, or dered him to find bail for assaulting the officers in the execution of their duty. Coy NTERFEIT TOKENS.—Dickons, belonging to the Office, and Johnson, a City Officer, having :learnt that John Smith; 3 . well-knO‘vn character, had arrived in 'London, on Wednesday, from Bir- Mingham, they strongly suspected he had brought counterfeit money with him, and went . early yes terday morning to his house in • Baldwin7sTgar dens. They told Smith and his wife what their suspicions were, which were confirmed by finding Anne Dicl:ons, ThoMaS Sprultart, and'Philip ley, Ivell -known . as what is called smashers, and that they. were in. SMith's house for the purpose of making purchases of counterfeit money, to ut ter in the' course of the day. The officers were not satisfied with Smith's denial, but,secnred all the parties in one room,. Johnson securing the door, and Dickons found no lesS than nineteen dozens of well-;executed counterfeit Bank of Eng land tokens for three shillings., Bank notes to. the amount of G3l. were also found. The parties were all brOught to the Office tutd underwent an-exa ruination, and were committed for a further in vestigation. Kfew days since Messrs. Atkinson and Jones, iiYvine-merchants, in Mark-lane, received an ano nymous. letter, informing them that a cart with .their names on it .very frequently stopped in the neighbourhood of Phoenix-street and Compton street. This induced Messrs. Atkinson. and Jones to watch the motions of William Sharratt, their porter, when he went oat with ihe cart, - yet was not tcostop at the place described by the anony- Wous writer.
