etenroue ntemiltes are not • adopted immediately, there is no .mying what the consequences may be, and I fear the present . . .Governor is not the man foe such times. The King's Procla . 'nation is of no use. Mr. Wilberforce's writings have pro duced this. Unless something decisive is soon done, God only lawn what is to be our fate. We want troops and not religf. Qua instructors; and I hope all connected with us will use their influence with Government, and when they come every parish should have a like protection, not to he kept in the neighbourhood of Spanish Town or Kingston." ' Another letter from the borders of Hanover Parish, June 18. " You will be sorry to hear that the north side of Jamaica is egela in a state of alarm, from the rebellious spirit evinced on many estates in the parish of Hanover. The first discovery was nn Argyll state, the property of Mr. Malcolm. They, the nefirees,propoeed to rise on the night of the 11th inst., and in tbe first plate to murder their masters ; then proceed to murder all the white people on the Estate, and after setting fire to the works, to proceed to the neat property, to 'murder and destroy with tire all in their way. '" This plot was happily discovered about ten o'clock the mine forenoon, and measures , taken to frustrate their plans I the Western Interior Regiment was ordered out, and is now nuttioned at Argyll Estate : there &reale* a body of regulars at the Monipelieri Bridge, and every insecure is adopted to frus trate their evil designs.' I will not close this letter till the latest, end in the mean time If any thing should occur, I shall inform foe of it. nth —Nothing farther has occurred as yet, but the at- ODikat of the rebels hiving destroyed several horses and mules twitalgiiig to Argyll Penn, • also that they still continue in a bod y . The Trash hoiseee of Alexandria Estate have been `.. burnt down, and as they took fire in several place* at the same tne, it is fully believed it was intentionally done t also the overseer's house in Golden Grove was forcibly entered, and all Oro arms end ammunition •taken away."

FOR THE SUN. .__ " Nothing extenuate,' nor Art doin aught in malice." MR. EDITOR---The animal choice of Chief Ma gistrate of this Borough, a few days since,-falling upon Mr. Too UZI) EN, an address suitable to the occasion was yesterday delivered at the chapel of St. George, by the Rev. Montague Pennington, before the Worshipful the Mayor, the Corpora tion, and a genteel and crowded audience. In the course of - which that Reverend Gentleman complimented the Magistrates in strung terms, on the uniform discharge of their duties with " impartiality" and " mercy," " and with a vigour not be yond the law, " and eulogised the gre a t mass of the inhabitants for their loyalty—for their submission to the laws, and respect to their superiors. Now, Sir, happening to be present yester terday, as an inhabitant of this said town and borough of many years standing, and acquainted with some' transactionsta which the Reverend Clergyman can be no stranger, (for his memory and his good sense are proverbial), I candidly remind him of the following facts, and put to him, as a Christian teacher, how far the eulogiums he was pleased to bestow are consistent therewith ? and to which the attention of your readers is now claimed. _ _ The first is,—How far the Mayor of this town acted with " impartiality," when, a few years since, he refused permis sion to Captain M'Culloch, of the Royal Navy, to see two of his Midshipmen, then confined in the town jail on a charge of which they were afterwards honourably acquitted ,- adding to the refusal epithets too coarse fur repetition ? Secondly,—Whether respect to the laws and to Magistracy was supported, and the interests of society upheld, when three individuals, accused of some revenue offence, under examina tion at the town-hall, were rescued in open Court and marched off in triumph, in presence of the Magistrates, by a few women and boys ?—And, Thirdly,—What protection was given to the laws, and to the well-disposed inhabitants, when a lawless banditti were per. mitred to parade two individuals, tarred, feathered, and tied to a gibbet, for two hours in a cart through the principal streets of the town at noon-day, stopping in front of the Mayor's house and the Customhouse, without the slightest opposition on the part of his Worship or of a single Magistrate—the merciful procession followed by one of the beadles ? Sir. it Is not my wish to stir up old grievances, yet *lien corn . pliments are lavished (so unsparingly to say the least) from a place sacred to the dissemination of Chtistian truth: alone, the eirciiinstances to which I have pointed appear so at variance with them as to, call for the humble, though strong, protest of Deal, Aug. l 9, 1824. AN OLD OFFICER. ROYAL COBUitGTH PrOprietor of this Theatre, to the credit' of his taste and liberality, has engaged Miss MACAULaY to per form for a few times, and last night she made her first appearance in a new dramatic Romance, entitled St. Hilda's Cave, and Chiefly founded on the Tragedy of Adelgilha, written by the late Mr. Lcwts, author of The Monk, &c. &c. The h►rnine.of the present piece retains the name of and the part was assigned to Miss MACAULET. This Lady possesses many requi sites that qualify her to take a high rank upon theatrical boards. Her person is well formed, her face expressive, her action forcible, her voice powerful and well-toned, and her enunciation clear and impressive. She possesses besides lite rary talents of a very respectable description,and yet, with all these pretensions, she has in vain at. tempted to procure a situation upon Patentee boards.—lt is difficult to account for the oppo sition which she encounters, except on the sup. position that the Managers consider the public taste as having sunk to so low an ebb that real merit will no longer attract attention, which can only be excited by novelty ; and indeed, when we reflect on the extraordinary success which has attended a stale of acting that has little be sides novelty to recommend it, we are disposed to think that the Managers have a right to judge fur themselves, and to patronize that which is likely to have most influence upon the depraved judgment of the Public. But to return to Miss MACAUI.EY. We are of opinion, that if the Winter Managers had witnessed her performance last night, it would have operated more favour ably on them than all the just and spirited at). peals which she .has addressed to them. Iler acting was marked by feeling, force, and expres sion.. We have not time to detail her merits, hut we were glad to find that they were properly understood by the audience, who were "warm in their applause. The other characters had re spectable support from Connmit, HUNTLEY, and BENootrox, - and the Piece altogether was well received. We announced a'rew days ago that the South African Advertiser, published nt the Cape of Good Hope, had been suppressed by Lord Csus. ;OblEttsi:T. By an arrival yesterday from the Cape, we have 'letters of the 26th of May, which state, that immediately after the suppres sion of the Paper, Mr. Goma, the publisher,! sent off an express to the three British Commis sioners appointed to report upon the condition of the colony, and who were then in the interior. It appears that the communication had produced a favourable result, for at the date of these letters the presses had been restored, and the paper was again published.—(Morning Post.) It is reported that Carlton House is to be pulled down, and an elegant square built on its site, opening to the Park, so as to form an agreeable termination to the new street. It is also mentioned, that a new Palace is to he erect ed for his MAJVITY at the end of the Mall, in St. James's Park—the present Queen's House, as it is called, to form one o f the wings. M ELANcuo f.x A cct nEwr.---( Deal, Aug. 0.)--- We regret to record the untimely death of three line young men, named M ACIENEY (brothers) and Tomo N, boatmen of- this place, by a small boat upseting this morning, in going off to the brig Ida, Wrecked on the Goodwin Sands. The bodies have not been foUnd. u' FlRE.—Early yesterday morning, the family of Mr. Nictrot,Ls, a farmer, living at Neesdon, a small village on the road to Edge. ware, were thrown into consternation by the dis covery of a large stack of new hay having taken fire, owing to its having been got up in too damp a state. The stack happening to join several others, and also being in the immediate Vicinity of the farm-yard, apprehensions were entertained that the whole property would be destroyed, especially as the flames spread with great ra pidity, and did not appear in the least to yield to the efforts of the servants and of the neighbours who had come to their assistance. In a little time the fire had communicated to the eut-houses connected with the farm-yard, from which it was with difficulty that the agricultural implements and stock were removed ; when, at this critical juncture, one of the London engines arrived on the ipot, and being fortunately followed by se veral others, the flames, by the exertions of the firemen, received a check, and, in about an hour afterwards, were wholly got under. The stock, out-buildings, &e. destroyed, amount to a consi derable loss great part of the farm-yard is now In a state of utter ruin. FASHIONABLE CHANGES.

SOUTItAItPTON, Atro. 7, 1824.—The Theatre opened on Monday evening, with the Iron Chest, in which appeared Mr. tuner; Miss MIDWAY, who we understand is a sister of the Y, the once famed Young Rosci us, e s Sir Edward Mar. celebrated Mrs. Salmon, as Barbara ; and Miss Holland, as Ifdes. The laughable farce of the Beehive followed. On Wednesday the Castle Spectre was presented, Mr. Betty sus. taining the part of Earl Orsynond. This Gentleman now at tracts no more notice than if there had never been a Young lioscius, after whom all England ran. He was then, to be sure, Master Betty, a tine looking and a clever boy ; he is now Mister Betty, a fine looking and a fat man, with no more of talent for the stage than may be acquired by any person of common abilities. The managers have exerted themselves to strengthen their company by an accession of talent, and we wish them a prosperous season.—Many Visitors have this week taken up their abode in this town, and we expect a greater accession to our numbers ere the Races begin, which have been postponed until Thursday and Friday next. These will be folloNed by the Salisbury Musical Festival, the Cowes Regatta, and the Portsmouth Regatta and Musical Festival on the 24th, 25th, 27th, and 213th of this month, presenting a great choice of pleasurable amusements witlhi a distance of 20 miles.—At a meeting of the Baths Company, held on Monday, Mr. Chain berlayne, M.P., Mr. C.

The Chain Pier Company, we understand, will make application, next Session, for an Act of Parliament. .In the mean, time the work will proceed.— Those concerned for the interests of religion and the mainte. nance of our National Church, will be pleased to learn that the proposal t'or building a Chapel of Ease at South Stoneham, is likely to meet with the most liberal support. The Vicar has commenced the Subscription by putting down his name for 1001. ; and, front the opulence and respectability of the neigh bourhood, we have no doubt that a sufficient sum will shortly be collected to carry the plan into effect.

A severe contest is also expected in the rowing match between the Revenue galleys, several of which are ex pected to come from Porten - touch, &c. to try their skill with those of the Island.—The Ball at the Library will be held the same evening, and, as usual, will form the fashionable finale of the day's sport. • ir . .

The new Pier or Jetty at this place, which was constructed for the accommodation of passengers landing from the steam-packets at low water, had nearly proved fatal a few days since to the construction and contents of a small craft from Ostend, laden with butter, eggs, &c. &.c. Owing to some piles having been driven beyond the head of the present pier to ex tend it farther into the set, when the water rising and hiding them from observation, the vessel making for the jetty, ran upon the piles, was stove in and wreck e d. Doubtless future accidents will be guarded against arising from the same cause, and this extension of level footpath into the sea must be consi dered. of very considerable advantage to all visitants at low water landing, anti from five to six hundred daily etuh:.rk and land at this favourite watering place. The air Is considered beneficial to the invalid, who, though he may frequent the bathing-rooms in the morning, is cautioned from entering them of an evening, as the excessive manner in which they are crowded; in consequence of their cheapness, renders the suffo cating mixture and heat of . breath d angerous even to th e healty. The Ranelagh Gardens arc well attended, as are also the. Labraries. The Rooms have their share of frequenters, particularly on Sunday evenings.

Charles the Second has been performed, a nd several times repeated, in a manner decid e dly su p er i or to any thing witnessed in country theatres ; as has also Simpson and Co., and many other things of the same kind which require but few actors, yet good acting. Miss F. 11. Kelly has just finished a few nights engagement with her well-known Juliet. Clara Fisher is next expected ; anti we are told t h at t h e sp i r i te d Manager is not afraid to speculate on 20/. per night for Mr. C. Kemble and some few other London stars, which liberality, perseverance, and general deserving conduct ought to insure him the success he deserves, which hitherto has been surpass ing great. A serious accident occurred at one of the warm baths a few days since ; a gentleman, while preparing for emer sion, fell down dead ere he could enter it.— Many titled fami lies are settling in Ramsgate, among the latest arrivals arc her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Prince and Princesses her son and daughters, who are shortly expected to honour the theatre here to patronize a night given by the proprietor to the It amsgat e Dispensary. The proximity to each place renders Mar ' gate anti Ramsgate almost one town. The numerous vehicles which transport the visitants at all periods of the day in the short space of twenty minutes, from one town to the other, ren. der them almost next door neighbours. Amusement and exercise are the predominant features of the town, and as all come to please themselves, they appear to be pleased with every thing about them, and with this strong ch ara cteristic feeling Margate and Ra uisgsts may be esteemed very pleasant wittering places, VIE ARMY. - The 2d Divisiofrof the ht Battalion of the Sd Regiment of Guards arrived on tie bth inst., in Dublin from Liverpool. The Ist Battalion of the Coldstream Guards has embarked from Dublin for Liverpool. The 2d Regiment of Foot has embarked at Gosport, for Chatham. CHANGE OF QU.ARTF.RS OF THE GUARDS. On the arrival of the Ist Battalion of the Coldstream Guards in London, from Ireland, the following change of quarters of the Guards will take place : The Ist Battalion of the Grenadier Guards will move from Portman-street Barracks into quarters in Lower Westminster. The 2d Battalion of the Grenadier Guards will march from Knightsbridge Barracks to Portmaa-street Barracks. The 3d Battalion of the Grenadier Guards will march from the King's Mews to Windsor. Theist Battalion of the Coldstream Guards will proceed, on its arrival in London, to Knightsbridge Barracks. The 2d Battalion of the Coldstream Guards will remove from the Tower to the King's Mews. The 2d Battalion of the 3d Regiment of Guards will march from 'Windsor to the Tower. COUNT CARNOT'S SYSTEM Or FORTIFICATION.—The experiment in military defence, according to Count CanNoT's system, to which we alluded a few days since, was tried at Woolwich Warren on Thursday , and Friday last, and the fal lacy of the principle completely developed. The supposed im provement consisted of a wall erected longitudinally along the centre of the fosse, in which, from the superior elevation of the counterscarp interposed between it and the besieging force,it was conceived to be out of the power of artillery to effect a practicable breach, or, in fact, to hit it at all, while, being loop-holed and lined within with infantry, an insurmountable obstacle was opposed to escalade. A wall upon this plan, 18 feet in length, 20 in height, seven feet thick at bottom, and six at top, had been prepared for the purpose, upon which, on this occ a sion, three batteries, mounted with I t pieces of rdnance, of differ ent. calibre, opened, two at the distance of 400, the third at 1100 yards. S'ucli was the accuracy and skill with which the shot and- shells_ were directed, that the supposed impenetrable defence was literally knocked to pieces, the curtain being utterly demolished in a comparatively short space Of time by the rirocha method of firing. The Duke of Welling. ton, as .Master-General of the Ordnance, was prevented by circumstances front attending to witness the effect ; but Sir H. Hartlinge, Colonels Paisley, Ford, &c., and a long list of dis tinguished Officers of Engineers and Artillery, were on the ground, and expressed themselves satisfied with the result of the experiment.

W..ilay. Under arrangements recently made at the Horse Guards, in consequence of foreigners being no lon g er permitted to enlist into the British Army, or to serve in Great Britain, a new or ganization of the 60th Regiment is immediately to take place. The Ist or Rifle Battalion, which, in future, is to consist only of British natural born subjects, proceeds to England ; the whole of the foreigners are to be transferred to the 2d Batta lion, which are ordered to Barbadoes. Permission is however given to the foreign Officers to retire from the service by the sale of their Commissions, or exchange to half-pxy ; many 01 . these gentlemen will, ‘ve understand, accept of one or other o f ' these alternatives. Such of the foreign Non-commissioned Officers and Privates as may wish to become settlers, are also allowed to receive their discharges in this Colony ; those who mean to avail themselves of this indulgence, are, we hear, nu merous.—(Mercury.)

Dean O'Shatighnessy had been unremitting in his endea vours to, bring her mind to a stat e o f p eace ; an d, a s h or t time before she was removed from her cell, had succeeded so far as to induce her to conduct herself in somewhat of a becoming man ner, and, we believe, to join him in prayer. Until then, her b e h av i our was outrageous in the extreme—blaspheming and screaming incessantly. The momentary calmness she assumed was, however, thrown aside, and her screams and resistance renewed with redoubled violence, when the summons arrived to conduct her to her last earthly scene. The most dreadfnl imprecations, the most heart-rending apathy, were the only responses she made to the affecting appeals of the attending Clergymen. No persuasion, no intreaues, availed to bring her to a proper sense of her situation ; and force was at length reluctantly resorted to, to fulfil the sentence she so justly me rited. We are really sick at the conclusion. She was placed (after having severely bitten the executioner) with the rope round her neck, lying on the platform ; but she exerted all her strength, and rolled herself back into the door; in the struggle her cap had fallen off, and her hair hung loose and disordered. The Rev. Mr. O'Shaughnessy then addressed her, but without effect. She was again forced out, and, while sitting on the drop, was once more exhorted and implored to cue for mercy to her Saviour—but she still refused to listen. The drop.then fell—one of her legs, which was resting on the frame, remained for a few moments supporting her, until removed by the execu tioner ; and even in that awful suspension between time and eternity, she continued to invoke the most horrid curses on all concerned' in causing her conviction and execution. She struggled for a considerable time; anti thus died the unrepentant perpetrator of the most enormous, cruel, anti cold-blooded murder that ever disgraced this country.— Her body was subsequently conveyed to the County Infir mary, where it remained unclaimed by any friend or relative. She was a native of a remote part of the county Galway, and had been at service in many places, in this county, which she we understand, with much satisfaction to her employers, until seduced into a course of vice, which too many females have the misfortune to enter upon. She has left one child, a boy, for the hand of charity to preserve from the example of its un happy parent. • A private letter from Frankfort states, that the Emperor of AUSTRIA had commuted the penalty of death, pronounced last year by the Supreme Tribunal of Verona against certain individuals for high-treason, to twenty years' solitary imprisonment in the fortress of Spitzberg. On Sunday . the 18th ult. their Majesties the King and Queen of DENMARK, with the Princesses, arrived safe in the capital, after a tour in the provinces of more than seven weeks. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm with which the inhabitants of Copenhagen received the itoyal Family. They immediately repaired to the summer residence of Friedricksberg. On Sunday last died in this town, ALEXANDER DIVING/TON, a native of Haddington, in Scotland; aged 98 years. In the early part of his life he served twenty-seven years in the Scots Greys, and was with that regiment at the memor able battle of Minden, in 1739, where he had two horses shot under him, and his right and left-hand men were both kill ed. At the battle of Lefette, where the regiment suffered great ly, he was severely wounded, and has been for nearly 50 years a pensioner of Chelsea Hospital. He had a very retentive memory, which he retained, with his other faculties, almost unimpaired, until a very short time before his death, and used to relate with great enthusiasm, the events of his life, and the achievements of t he distinguished corps to which he belonged, and of, which he m was, no doubt, the oldest membsr liv; g ma nner 'born in the' regiment, in which his father also Was a elder..—(.Manchester Guardian.) havin been in COURT OF CHANCER,Y—(Tau DAT).

Counsel 4vere en gaged on both sides, ansi it was understood that an amicable arrangement was the result. 1111TH V. TRIMMER.*' The Loan CHANCELLOR gave lodgment in this case, and decided that the lase, un der all the extraordinary circumstances-that cha racterised it, was at an end, and-that the purchaser of the fee.simple, .having.consented to his Lordship deciding with respect to his interest also, he should now dispose - of the whole. It was clear that the intention was, • that the lease should terminate with the partnership, whether it continued for 7, 14, or 21 years and, taking into consideration the fact, that the - rent of tliss premises was to be paid out of the gains of the trade, it was clear that the moment the parties ceased to be partners, the lease was at.un end. The consequence, therefore, was, that the only question that temained was for the disposal of the property. The assignees of Smith, however, must be treated as partners, and the only point now was as to the security,to be given for the conducting of the concern, whichlcould be done by the parties themselves.

On the 23d April, 1023, the French invaded Spain and crossed the fiver Masson. This circumstance caused great consternation, it en - tirely changed the mercantile afiltirs, and was the ruin of many.

ENAI.IB, a MembOr of the Coln. mon Council for the Ward• of Candlewick, and stove-grate. manufacturer, residing at No. 10, Fish-street-hill, was brought before the Loan Mavon, on a charge of having outrageously assaulted an Irish Gentleman, and beaten him with whorsewhip. The prosecutor, Mr. W'esthope, stated that he resided at Cork, and that ke recently had occasion to come. to London, for the purpose of receiving money due to him. Ile had occa sion to make a purchase of ironmongery to furnish a house, and he called to ascertain the prices, and make a selection at the shop of Mr. Evans. Ho ultimately looked •ont a quantity to the amount of about 321., and desired that a list might be made out for them. On Friday, he called for the purpose of paying for them, as he was about to nail on Saturday, and they had ar ranged for their shipment, when he presented a bill for 711. in payment, which had been endorsed by Mr. Hawley, a respect able and well-known jeweller, residing in the Strand. Mr. Evans stud, he must send to get it discounted, and appeared to make some difficulty about it, when he (Mr. Westhope) said, he would get it discounted himself, as he was going in a dim- lion where he could 'get it done witho u t any inconvenience. Me folded up the bill for that purpose, when Mr. Evans exclaimed, You never intended to pay for those goods. You are an arrant swindler. Get out of - my shop immetliately. The prosecutor made him a bow to intimate that after this language their deal. • ing certainly was at an end, when Mr. Evans sprung round upon hits, es. sl s t e ,w i t a s af ino h p i l i e n t sr b t y Ep t pv h ae e t,ni s s l : f t o n hr i iodate momentcro,laltnetni et with w h i t i l n ooa t i r t h i tteoo obtainht e L l s d tr o e nl e ee t_ : . seized a carman's whip and cut him severely over the face with it. Ile shewed the wounds on his face, which are certainly most serious; they arc deep, and to all appearance likely to last a eon sideruble time ; one of the eyes had evidently a narrow escape. Mr. Weethope was greatly agitated in deecribing his treatment, anti said that the defendant tell alien him with a degree of as. vale cruelty that could not he justified had he been the most notorious swindler or thief in the metropolis. .He produced the bond for which he had come to receive payment, and the bill endorsed by Mr. Hawley which he had tendered to the defend ant. Ile said he was ready to give every testimonial of his rs• spectubility, and called upon a gentleman who had accompanied hint to the defendant's shop. The Loan Illasr ou said such evidence was quite unnects. sary. His respectability was not questioned. his Lordship observed that Mr. Westhope applied to him for the warrant immediately after the transaction. His face was then stream. ng with blood. • Mr. Evans—but, my Lord, that appearance might have been caused after he left me. It. is mote than &00 yards lions here to my house. The Loup MaYott expressed his opinion that it was rather unlikely that a person would voluntarily create such wounds its the face, and bade Mr. Evans suite what defence' he had to make. _ _ Mr. Evans then went into,a history of The owsrhi afford confirmed Mr.Weethope's statement as far as to the time of set tlement.
