LATEST FROM PERU.—We are happy to ob serve that the New York Papers, received this morning, announce the receipt of official accounts, 1 t confirming the news published by us yesterday, of the defeat of the Royalists in Upper Peru, ultich has long been the strong-hold of the Spa nish forces in that country ; and which, in every point of view, financial, military, and otherwise, is of more importance to BOLIVAR and the Re publicans than were the retaking of Callao and Lima.- - -(Baltimore Paper, Aug. 20.)

THE KING. WINDSOR, SEPT. 22.—Yesterday, the weather being very unfavourable, his MAJESTY and visitors were unable to leave the Royal Lodge to take their customary drive about the rides in the Great Park. The King walked for a short time in the fore pan of the day about the plantations contiguous to the Lodge. This afternoon his Majesty drove out in his pony phaeton, accompanied by the Marquis Conyngham and the remainder of the King's visitors and suite, in an open carriage and on horseback, for Sandpit Gate, where they alighted to in spect the curious collection of emus, kangaroos, black swans, &c. belonging to his Majesty. They remained about three quarters of an hour, and afterwards proceeded to Virginia Water, where they will pass the remainder of the afternoon.-- A numerous company of visitors are expected at the Royal Lodge, on Saturday next, to stay some time with his Majesty. This morning one of his Majesty's private messengers left the Royal Lodge for London.—lt has been already noticed that the French windows introduced into the Castle by . Charles so completely—out of keeping with the other parts of the building, were to be replaced by windows of th., pure Gothic, in unison with the general character of the edifice. His Majesty haVing approved of the model which had been prepared, the greatest activity has prevailed during the pas' week in preparing them. Stone from the quarries in the neigh bourhood of Bath has been selected, on account of its posses sing greater facilities for the workmanship, while its durability increases by exposure to the weather. The stone is forwarded to Windsor by canal and river navigation, and blocks of the immense weight of from five to eight ions each, have been within these few days, landed and suitably prepared. A Brea; number of the windows, which are formed upon the most chaste Gothic model are already prepared. • ' If / 1 ~ -17 '..11!r,, V.Oll-7016,,e/1".....--:''S,o 4t41,-', '''' ' f ~I.:::, . •••`. z.

The Infant Heiress of England already displays interesting proofs of intelligence and spirit. Her Royal Highness resides at Townley House, Itamsgate, with her Royal Mother, and is constantly on the Sands, where her fine open countenance and lively manners attract universal admiration. She was running very fast on the sa n d s a f ew d ays ag o, w h en h er f oo t slipped, and she fell ; a Gentleman, who was close at the moment, assisted her to rise ; the Princess thanked him in the most graceful and engagi ng manner , a nd on hi s ex p ress ing a hope that site was not hurt, gaily exclaimed, " Oh no ! I am not hurt ; but Mamma will say the Princess of England should be more surefooted." MR. CANNING. The stay of this distinguished Statesman in this country will be prolonged, we have reason to believe, for at hest a week longer. Conjecture, as might have been imagined, is extremely busy in assigning► objects for his visit to this country. We, too, arc not without our surmises, though they do not entirely agree with those of our contemporaries. This, however, we are warranted in saying, that Mr. Canning's visit is not of a merely private nature,—and we may add, that the period is not very distant, when the public will witness some fruits of thepresence of Mr. Canning in Dublin. In the mean time, we are glad to perceive that in the respectable walks of society, there is every wish and disposition to manifest respect and welcome to this illustrious stranger. We know not, however, whether it be compatible with his feelings to receive any distinct demon" stration of public regard. And yet, we confess, we cannot see any harm, any thing improper on our part—we mean on the part of the commercial interest of Dublin—to give a public manifestation of our. feelings, and there can be none surely on the part of the Right Honourable Gentleman to receive such an expression from the independent Citizens of Dublin.—The truth is, an Address, we understand, is already prepared by the Chamber of Commerce, and will, we should suppose, be speedily presented to the Right Honourable Gentleman. Thi s Body, which really represents the wealth, influence, and re spectability of the mercantile interest of the City of Dublin, is, as it ought to be, and as might be expected from the character of its members, foremost in giving expression to the public feeling on this occasion, and the example, no doubt, will he followed generally by the other Mercantile Bodies in the interior.— We have too good an opinion of that Body to imagine that there is any expression in an Address of theirs, that could call for a political opinion from Mr. Canning. The eloquent Secre. tary is known to have taken a lively and active share in the pro. motion of those Commercial principles upon which, fortunately, the trade of the Empire is now managed. lie deserves, there fore, from the merchants'of Dublin the tribute of an Address for the liberality of his commercial principles—and really we cannot see what objection there can he, on his part, to .answer such an Address. It might be otherwise, we admit, with the Corporation.—( Dublin Mama Adive raw, Sept. 20.) SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES.--Tuzsnmr, SEPT. 21. The company on the ground to.day.was as numerous and fashionable as yesterday, though there was not that intensity of feeling at on the preceding day. The sport was interesting, and gave general satisfaction. The balls and concerts have been . well attended, the latter in particular, Madame Catalani being the magnet.

A Noble Scotch Lord pockets 30,000/., and the Member of an ancient city 10,0001., by the event of the race. Several large sums were also won by various individuals, and the legs on this occasion are the great sufferers. Much dissatisfaction has arisen in consequence of a favourite horse having been bought and not started for the race. We hear that his owner has been pulled up to account for this. • ROWING MATCH. Yesterday a rowing match took place for a wherry given by the inhabitants of St. Martin's-ia-the-Fields, by six pair of oars, in three heats; they started from Hungerford Stairs through Waterloo and Westminster Bridges, twice, and re. turnea to the place of starting. It was a well contested r ace between the first and second boats, the others taking it easy, having no chance of winning ; when Perry and Vineent won the prize in style.. After the match, a pole, well soaped and greased, was fixed in the ground with a leg of mutton at the top, which closed the afternoon's sport. ROYAL YACHT CLUB. about to depart for COWES, SEPT: 21.—The sailing season drawing to a close, and many of the Members being their country residences, the Falcon, Commodore Lord Yarborough, came into C owes harbour on Saturday, the 111th instant, preparatory t o a B a ll his Lo r dship proposed giving on Mon day to the Y ac ht M e mbers and their friends. .Sunday his Lordship invi te d t h e M em b ers lying in Co wes Roads to din ner, who, with their friends, amounted to twenty-two. The evening proved excee di ng l y wet , which w as the occasion of many Ladies despairing of a fine evening for the Ball the next night; a favourable change, however, taking place, from a shift of wind to the north-west, the weather cleared, and pro (Wed a fine evenin g Th e Falcon was covered with an awning; and decorated in the interior with colours, and the signal flags of the Club. having the distinguishing flag at the stem, with and the Crown and foul Anchor (permitted Yl(diee.Lorthi of the Admiralty), ornamented with It t ao h u e or l ee e l t si t l e ,,a r w s noi l i t. bflowers, brilliantly illuminated, which, reflecting from the brass-work of belaying its &c. had a most striking amt.—At ten o'clock, pan. Lo the company ; b u t, from the num b rd Yarborough received emus assemblage, the boats v Id not cease to board the yacht till nearly twelve o'clock. Country dances, quadrilles, and Scotch reels, were immediately formed, extending the whole length of one side of the yacht's deck.— At two o'clock, Aat, the supper was announced, when the guests descended to the three cabins, the tables of which pre sented a most sumptuous display of every delicacy that fancy could imagine, consisting of creams, jellies, preserves, Cham pagne, Frontini ac , and other French wines, and an unusual supply of' particularly fine pines, grap es , an d o th er f ru i t . O n withdrawing from this banquet dancing recommenced, and was kept up with the high spirit and enjoyment till 'four A.M., when the boats assembled round the. Falcon, to convey the visitors to their respective homes; and many of the boats fitted up as gondolas, with lamps, had a most novel and pleasing ap pearance. About twelve o'clock on Tuesday the broad pen dant was struck, and the distinguishing burgee of the Club hoisted, and Lord Yarborough went ashore. There were three hundred persons present, an d among the company were :—Lord Willoughby de Broke, L or d an d Lady Gran ilium, Misses Robinson, L a dy Willi am and Mr. :Seymour, Lady Elisabeth and Miss Palk, Lord Francis Gower, Mr. and Lady Charlotte Greville, Mr. and Lady Caroline Morant, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Hare; Sir George, Lady, and the M isses Thomas; Sir George, Lady, and Miss Leeds; Lady and Miss Hippis ley ; Admiral and Mrs. Davies; Capt a ins Ilainilton, Hamond, Iferringhain, Arbuthnot, and Symonds; Mr. Justice, Lady, and the Misses Bayley; Mr. and the Misses Ward; Mr.T.A.

DIED, on the sth inst. in the fourteenth year of his age, CHARLES, the eldest son of ANDREW Astir, Esq. at his house in Dawson-street, Dub lin. This young Gentleman was promising in talents and amiable in disposition, and his death has plunged his fiimily (well known for their musical abilities) in the deepest affliction. We regret to state that his Excellency the Loan LIEUTENANT has experienced an attack of illness which confines him to his rooms, at the Vice-regal Lodge.—(Dublin Morning Post.) The Members of the High Noblesse of Han over have been officially informed, that the ad vanced season will not permit King GEORGR IV. to visit his German dominions this year, but that his BRITANNIC MAJESTY intended to make this journey at the beginning of the summer of 1825. It has been erroneously stated that Madame CATALANI, would not be present at the Grand Musical eestival which is to take place in New. castle on the sth, 6th, 7th, and Bth of October next, for the benefit of several charitable institu tions. On the contrary, we are desired by the Directors of that Grand Festival to say, th a t also Madame i‘i r s a s t a a l ill Miss posi t ivelys,tepi) Stephens, Signora there, and Signora de Begnis, Mr. Braham, Signor de Begnis, and Mr. Sapio, are to lend their powerful assistance. Preparations are now actively making in Saint Nicholas Church, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, for the approaching Grand Musical Festival, which commences on the tith of the ensuing month. Amongst other improvements, a capacious gallery is being erected for the purpose of an orchestra. Several Gentle men of respectability have let their houses for the occasion to the Nobility and other persons of distinction, who are expected to honour it wi t h th e ir presence. A great inlisx of company is anticipated. It is rumoured that 3lr. SADLER intends ascending in a balloon during the festival. After the Grand Jury for the county of 111;d -dlesex were discharged on Tuesday evening, 173 prisoners, against whom no bills were found, were brought up and discharged by proclamation. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. A large timber manufactory, belonging to Mr. LOADER, was this morning destroyed by fire, in Tabernacle-walk, near the City-road. Mr. Whale, of North-street, gave us the following particulars :—At twenty minutes past twelve, he was alarmed by the watchmen's rattles, and calls of " Fire !" but they could not tell where. lie discovered that it was in the back premises of Mr. Loader, an extensive mahogany merchant and cabinet-maker, and on breaking open the front door they found one of the workshops in a blaze. It was nearly two hours before the engines arrived. The parish engines came first, but for three quarters of an hour they could not act, for want of water. There was none in the main. This misfortune occasioned great confusion. Could water have been got in time, half the property might have been preserved. The fire rapidly communicated to the other shops, and the whole yard was in one terrific blaze, illumining the horizon for a considerable distance. The rain fell pretty heavily at two o'clock, bat the adjoining premises of Mr. Griffiths (an other, timber yard) unfortunately lay in the direction of the wind, which blew the flames with great fury on a large stack of we ad. The engines now arrived, and there was a plentiful supply of water. By the great exertions of the firemen the stock was partly preserved, and 'the fire was entirely subdued after four o'clock.— There *as near 10,000/. worth of property de stroyed or damaged, 3,0001. of which is only insured. Upwards of 1,0001. worth of plate glass has been destroyed. No accident occur red, with the exception of an old Lady, who received such a violent shock as to be carried out of Mr. Loader's (her son) house in a state of insensibility which threatens her life. Mr. Loader was from home on business. A gentle man, who met him at Breading, on Tuesday, called on Mrs. Loader, and said that her husband, with a new horse and gig, in turning a street in Reading, the horse took fright, and dashed into u shop-window. The gentleman observed to Mr. Loader, that he should not like proceeding on a journey so ominously begun. Yesterday morning, at a quartpr past three o'clock, a fire broke out in the warehouse of Mr. Mills, an ex tensive dealer in leather, whalebone, &c. occupying the houses 14, 13, and 16, in Silver-street, Cheapside. It raged with great fury, and soon communicated to the whole front of the three houses, which were destroyed. The house of Mr. Walters, adjoining, and' the premises of Mr. De Grouchy, soda-water manufacturer, were also much damaged before the flames were extinguished. Great praise is due to the firemen of the nu merous companies for their exertions in arresting the progress of the flames, in which they were much a s sist e d by a liberal supply of water. Mr. Kelly, tailor, occupied the whole of tho extensive front on the attic, as a workshop, and has sustained a loss of 1,000/. Mr. Mills's loss is reported to be 4,0001., but he is insured. Fortunately no lives were lost. Depredations to a . great extent were carried on by a set of villains, who had the impudence to convey property away, out of Falcon-square, in two coaches. LAST MOMENTS OF SCHILLER. Feeling that his end was come, he prepared himself to meet this stern and sudden call as became him ; not with affected carelessness or superstitious fear, but with a quiet, unpretending manliness, which, had marked the tenor of his life. Of his friends and family he took a touching, but a tranquil, farewell ; he ordered that his funeral should be private, without any pomp or parade. Some one enquir ing how he felt, he said " calmer,"—simple and memor. able words, expressive of the mild heroism of the man.— About six he sunk again into a sleep, which deepened and deepened till it changed into the sleep from which there is no aivaking ; and all that remained of Schiller was a lifeless form, soon to - he mingled with the clods of the valley. Schiller's age was 45 years and a few months. Sickness had long wasted his form, which at no time could bout of faultless symmetry. Ile was tall and strongly broad, but untnuscalar and lean : his body, It might be perceived, was wasting under the energy of a spirit too keen for it : his face was pale ; the cheeks and temples rather hollow; the chin somewhat deep and slightly pro j ecting; the nose regularly acquiline ; his hair inclined to auburn. Withal his countenance was attractive, and had a certain manly beauty. The lips were curved together in a line expressing delicate and honest sensibility ; a silent enthusiasm, impetuosity not unchecked by melancholy, gleamed in his softly kindled eyes and pisle cheeks, and the brow was high and thoughtful. To judge from his portrait, Schiller's face expressed well the features of his mind; it is mildness tempering strength—fiery ardour shining through the clouds of suffering and disappoint ment, deep but patiently endured. Pile was its proper tint ; the cheeks and temples were at b est h o ll ow . - There are few faces that affect us more than Schiller's; it is at once meek, tender, unpretending, and heroic. In his dress and manner, as in all things, he was plain and unaffected. Among strangers something shy and retiring might occasionally be observed In him ; in his own family, or among his select friends, he was kind-hearted, free, and gay, as a little child. During his last 15 years he wrote his noblest works; yet it has been proved too well, no day could have passed without its load of pain.

ACADEMIC FLATTERY.---.CLERMONT TONNETIE, Bishop of Noyon, a man ridiculous for his attach ribirth, gave un annual p r iz e t o th e French meat to high Academy, to be bestowed on the best poetical composition; but the only subject to be treated of was the praise of Louis the Four teenth. After all the ordinary topics of adula tion had been exhausted, the ACademy pro: posed, for the year 1700, the following text for the prize-poem : 4 ! That the' King possesses all the virtues in so eminent a degree, that it is im possible to jutiFe by which of them he is princi pally characterised." When this topic was shewn to the king for his approbation, (for this was al ways done previously to its being given out ; and his Majesty,moreover, sat to hear the piece recited) enured as he was to tiattery,he felt that it was rather too much, and put his negative upon it. The academy then,by the advice of theßishop,letit_down a little in the following manner: " Thaithe King unites in his person so many great qualities, that it is diffi. cult to judge which forms his principal cha racter." Even this qualified dose of incense proved too strong for his Majesty's relish. The Academy and Bishop, almost reduced to despair, tremblingly proposed their third edition: " That the King is not less distinguished by the virtues of a man of worth, than by those of a, great prince." This luckily did not offend the Mo narch's modesty, and he suffered it to pass with out further alteration. GREENLAIID FISHERY.-With the exception of two llull ships, all the ships at Greenland had been at Shetland, or were known to have sailed homeward ; anti, as their success was ascertained, the calculation is an average of 53 tuns of oil to each of the 30 fishing ships, one having been lost.

The prisoner made no defence, and the Jury found him—Guilty, Death. The prosecutor strongly recommended him l.cs mercy, oh account of the good character the pri soner hud formerly maintained for honesty. NEW COURT.—(Before the ItgconmEn.)

Monday afternoon the statue was raised from the pedestal, on which it has rested for two centuries, by means of a powerful crane and pulleys. After considerable delay, from the rope not running freely, a ring which had been fastened to the ground gave way, and the statue fell upon the top of an inclined plane, constructed to facilitate its being gradually lowered, but suittained no apparent injury, straw cushions buying been previously placed under it. The statue was afterwards drawn down, and now lies at the side oldie e!itirch. The feet of the horse, the only supporters, had given in dication oftheir not being able longer to support the greetweight which rested on them ; and it is, we believe, chiefly on this ac count that the statue has been removed. A Gentleman had his pocket picked of 13/. while indulging his curiosity In watching the preparations for suspending the " merry" Monarch. NEW RAILWAY.--We have seen with much pleasure resolutions, numerously subscribed, by Noblemen and Gentlemen of dila county, for an application to Parlia ment for leave to make an iron railway tom Edinburgh us I)alkeith and Fisherrow Harbour, with collateral branches.._. This measure, which is of great public importance, we arc glad to be informed, is likely to have the approbation of a majority of the land praprietors, 0.1 whose grounds the fi r nt of railway are propcised. Grain, coal, stone, &c. will, we understand, be conveyed to the city on the railway, without the use of horses, it being proposed to prop e l carriages on it with the iteam.engine, by the methods for doing this most ap proved of on the railways at Newcastle. Subscription papers, for raising the estimated cost of this work (36,0001. Sterlin g, are in the Banks of Sir Wm. Forbes and Company, Royal Bank, and Bank of' Scotland, by joint stock company shares of 501. ; but limiting the subscriptions not to exceed forty shares to any in dividual as more that one individual have &ll:red to subscribe the whol e i sum. We do not know any secure investment for money so likely to be of great advantage as shares in this rail., way.—(Edinburgh Courant, Sept. 20.) According to the French Papers, the breed of the Thihet Goat is rapidly increasing every year in France. particularly in the District of the Pyrenees, Mont u'3r, and Vagesin.
