Good freehold property 'there is worth 25 years' purchase, or an estate producing 1001. per an num sells for 2,5001.' Agreeable to this calculation, landed property in India, netting Sa.

The following is an extract of a Letter from the Agents to LLOYD'S, at Versailles, dated 21th February : • " You will no doubt have been apprised, by more direct op portunities, of the Algerines having declared war against Great Britain on the 31st January, and his Majesty's Consul, with his family, having consequently left that port, for Malta,' on board the Naiade frigate. We have this - morning advises from Malta, so late as the 14th instant, by which we learn, that Vice-Admiral Sir 11. NEALE had already sailed from t hence . for Algiers, taking with him the Naiade, and leaving directions for all other ships of war, es they might coma' in, to follow him thither without anchoring. The Consul had em barked with the Admiral.—Of the force of the Algerine squad ron, no* at sea, we have no correct accounts, but they are said to consist of two frigates, two corvettes, and several small ves sels ; and about the flthinstant were cruizing off the coast of Spain, having captured. a Spanish fishing -vessel near Bene dormi. We understand that all the British merchant vessels at Gibraltar, bound up the Mediterranean, ware waiting there for convoy. [Extract of a Letter from the British Vice-Consul and Agent to Lloyd's at Almeira, dated 9tlt February.] " By the arrival of a Coaster from Carthagena, it is reported that the Master of an English schooner, (put into that port on the 6th instant,) declared that a Moorish frigate and a brig captured off Cape St. Antonio, on the coast of Valencia, an English brig laden with barilla, from Carthagena: little credit is given to this news."

By the Decree of his Majesty, dated Port St. Mary, of the Ist October, his Majesty declared null and void all Acts of the heretofore Consti tutional Government, sincr the 7th March 1820; and his Majesty, thinking it proper that his sub jects should not suffer by the suspension and delay of administration of justice, has decreed the following : ART. 1. All proceedings commenced in the Tribunals, in the first instance, and•in which no definitive sentence has been passed, shall be con tinued. 2. Those exempted are the causes which are called " notorious injustice," which shall be re ported to the Council of State. 3.

There shall be annulled all sentences in which the property of my true (defenseurs) have been confiszated, and their property shall be immediately restnred. 5. There shall also be annulled all sentences against ecclesiastics or the military, who have been judged by the former Cortes.

The elections of the small colleges, or colleges of arrondissement, in France, are terminated ; and only 16 Opposition candidates have been, returned out of the number, 258, composing nearly two thirds of the whole Chamber. 'the remaining portion of the Deputies are elected by the col leges of department, or great colleges, and as these are composed of a fourth part of the elec tors who pay the highest direct taxes, there is little chance that the 172 members which they return will contain so great a proportion of Li berals.

A report prevails that aiwther Mexican Loan will soon make its appearailc'e. The opposition offered to the new commercial projects of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is already so formidable, that Mr. CANNING, Mr. PEEL, and 11r,. 11USKISSOY, as. well as 'Mr. RonissoN himself, felt it necessary to take part in the debate to which the preset'. tation of Petitions .ag a i ns t th e pr o p ose d measures gave rise last night in the Hous e of Commons. We thi n k it scarcely . pos sible, for Ministers to persevere in an attempt at carrying the threatened hazardous experiments into effect. The country was in a state of uni versal contentment and of progressive prosperity ; and moreneverdeservedly a d s iy a more than t i genera tiei : r l e y s en or i Cabinet ; but thes e ominous propositions have, in a moment, excited universal discontentment, — the utmost consternation and dismay amongst the whole population of Certain important dis. tricts,—and a feeling, which Miukters may rest assured is only the .precursor of a settled and inveterate hostility to any set of men by whom projects so j ruinous in their nature may be persisted in.—Let them at least delay another Session, before they venture further upon the alarming course which they have j marked out ; and we will be bold enough to assure them that the result of a' deliberate in quiry, if they think fit that an inquiry shall be instituted, will he not only the complete estab lishment of the impolicy of the 'intended ntra• sures, on the particular merits of the cases which they respectively embrace, but an irrefragable refutation and exposure even of the genera!-pan ciple on which they are advocated, and which can easily be proved to he as fallacious nnd ab surd in theory as it is utterly incapable of appli cation in practice.

He hastily quitted the lobby, and proceeded with very irregular steps to Mr.Ellis's carriage, which had been called in the temporary absence of .Mr. Canning's. The Marquis ' of Titchheld was the independent Member for King's .I..y.nn. He took his seat on the lower ~O pposition" benches. His oc casional , speeches • though delivered with some diffidence, dia -1 played considerable talent, and that rare quality, good sense.— 1 lie sternly adhered to his principles, and when Mr. Canning gained his present distinguished power, the Marquis promptly wrote to his constituents, assuring them "that though his uncle bad come into power, he should not change his principles." He had an ezeellent character, and was much esteemed by his rela tives in particular, and by all who knew him. It affords us great satisfaction to state that the Ship Lady Campbell, Captain BETit.km, on which were aboard Major-General Sir T.

The following circumstance recently occurred at Sheerness :—A convict belonging to one of the hulks at that port, who was to be discharged, had contracted a debt with a fellow prisoner amounting to five pounds, and which, of course, he was unable to liquidate, notwithstanding his repeated. promises so to do. • On the m, orninc-of his release, he, how ever , when quittin g th e s hi p, gave to his creditor a piece of paper, in which something was carefully wrapped up, rather weighty, and bearing every appearance of be ing the • amount of his debt. The unsuspect ing prisoner, not doubting the truth of the old adage " Bonour among thieves,"• care fully deposited in his pocket.: the gift, and at the first convenient opportunity examined its con tents. There were several folds of the paper, and his chagrin may be easily conceived when, on • arriving at the last, he found not five sovereigns,. as he fondly expected, but - five farthings ! Before this discovery took the fellow who had been guilty of this dishonest and ungrateful action,.had completely left the place. SENTEN-CE on- CONNOLLY and MORAN.

AT RA nLE y_H ous a ' The interest excited' . by the expected trials of the persons committed for the alleged murder of James Grainge, at Itabley house, was considerably lessened by the returns made on the several hills of indictment sent up to the Grand Jury yester day. By nine o'clock, however, the Coutt was crowded,' but there was little expression of anxiety or curiosity in tile persona who composed the auditory ; indeed, little more was observable in the town than on ordinary occasions. At half-past eight o'clock, Captain (for Surgeon) Connolly and Mrs. Browne were conveyed in a post-chaise front 'the prison to the court-house. Travers, Moran,"and Amelia Mor gan' were conveyed on foot, und er an escort o f j avelin-men. At nine o'clock Mr. Justice BEST entered the Court, when a petit Jury was immediately sworn, and the trials of JiiingS Beim, Jolto Snzith, and Luke Be idcland, were called ots (for which see behiw): this produced evident disappointment in the Court, but was considered as an indication that,the trials of the first mentioned prisoners would not occupy a long time. Ott inquiry we learned that the delay was occas:ornal by a proceeding of r a th er an unsua l nature. T he bills of indtet ment laid before the Grand Jury yesterday, and on width they made the returns, were much blotted, scratched, obliterated, and interlined a in consequence of which it was deemed im portant for. the ends of justice that fresh hills of indictment against Patrick Connolly, &c. should be sent up to the Grand 1 Jury, which was done accordingly at nine o'clock this day. Witnesses were brought before them, and at a quarter to eleven o'clock, the Grand Jury appeared in Court, and returned a true bill against Patrick Connolly and Hugh Moran for man slaughter. At a quarter past eleven o'clock the five prisoners were brought to the bar in the following order :—Elizabeth Bromine, Amelia II forgan, Patrick Connolly, Hugh Moran, and. Ed. ward Travel s. Mrs. Browne is a respectable-looking woman, of a good person, but , not very handsome. She wore a black brninet, veil, and feathers, and a silk shawl, and approached. the bar without the slightest appearance of alarm or trepidation. Amelia Morgan was a little afrected. Mr. C onno ll y was dressed in bl ac k ; hi s demeanour-evinced a portion cf anxiety, but he was quite collected. In the appearance of the.- other prisoners (Hush Moran and Edw a rd T ra.yers) there no thing remarkable. The prisoners were then arraigned tinder the verdict of the Coroner's Inquisition, for the wilfultmueder of James Grainge, at llabley-h ouse , in the county of il t rtf ar d, on t h e 3l st nc December lest ; to which indictment the prisoners severally pleaded " N ot Guilty." Patrick Connolly and Hugh Moran were then indicted fir manslaughter of the said James Grainge, at the time and place already menti one d. The Jury were e thert sworn. Mr. Knapp, Clerk of the Arraigns, then stated theindictmant against the prisoners Mr. serjeant TADDY then proceeded to state the case for the prosecution,• but wax interrupted by Mr. Dovi.taut, Counsel for th e pri s on ers , who objected to the Coroner's Inquisition on the ground of informality', it hay- Mg been signed by eleven cf the Jurors only. The Leaned Gentleman cited several cases in support of the . objection, and argued further, that the wound was not described with ant cient precision. The words used were, " about two inches and a half:" but the law required that the wound should have heels more fully anti accurately stated. Mr. A DOLP t a followed on the same si,lo, and. quoted Other cases in support of the objection to the•influisition. Mr. Justice MET adnattell that it was necessary that a Co roner's Jury should consist of 12 persons. Mr. ADOLPHUS then contended that the inquisition must bear the signatures of each and every of the 12 jurors, without which „proof of that number having been actually sworn upon 'such inquest, it must be presumed mat the law requiring the, presence of such number of jurors had pot been complied with. oose a'.l.7o'lll4.du,vsingr,liet ,general terms eri G irf e :i n nt e it:in n r a tly n : erc n eh r il, o etl c hri t e te, d e ca,ill:angt contendednd t t ni l o e ll l r w t: a, as ob ot j tfr ir ia c ltail t iti t ee o tdih: t e i n t the objet dons dons could not be supported. The allegation wets, that the ls of " about two inches and a half," which descriptit . a was cientlr particular and 'full. 3ir. Justice BEsT said, it was desirable that these matters should be fixed by Act of Parlianfent ; but, until they were, the law, as it stood at present, must be complied with: The Learned - Judge stated his opinion, that the word " about" was too indefinite and uncertain, even in a special demurrer; and surely that which could not be maintained in a special &limner, must not be admitted in a criminal case of so much importance as that before the Court. Helves therefore clearly Of opinion, that for that reason the inquisition ought to be quashed.. With ' respect to the other ground, he should net deliver any opinion upon IL The prisoners, Elizabeth BrOwne, Ahnelia Morgan, and Edward Trayers' were ordered to be removed.from the bar, and the trials of Patrick Connolly and Hugh Moran, for man slaughter, was ordered to be proceeded. with. Serjeant Terme- stated the case for the prosecution, doing which he found it necessary to enter into some detaile of occurrences which took place previous to the date of the corn inimsion of the crime for which the prisoners were then on their trial. It would appear that the prisoner Connolly had been assist.-surgeon in the city of Dublin artillery, and subsequently , resided in Regent-street, L on d on . I t would also appear that a verdict for the MAUI of 240/. with'costs, amounting in the whole to upwards of 500/., had been obtained against Connolly by a person of the name of Andrews. That strict search was made for the prisoner in order to enforce payment of that verdict, hut which search was for some time inettlctual ; at length it was discovered that the prisoner was living and conceal-. evien Rabley-house, in the county of Hertford, and thither cer tain persons went for the purpose of arresting him, and in whisk the transactions then about to be investigated-bad their origin. The Learned Serjeant then proceeded to state the particulars of tat lie case, r : t e e r e a w h 0 , s c eesla tr t l Ked r i e rt : gh u e l t er .a s will detailedinrcetaltilrerettotiti; by c ri l te,10,1 and ; ience ; qu rd a a ri n d o l t "o h r e another case 'h crime i rr i o l e h LtCoo!7)xkke wan stel ac s o h wn o rl t iit a eot l fe i tr a lc i ii l o i li ft a : n 7 d lr ,a i t , e n hit , , , ,, t ir e ,./ , ,, i mi t o ;1 break into a 1 1 where a warrant was addressed generally to a constable,, which did not authorize him to execute it out of his own jurisdiction ; but in the present instance the case was ditierent, as the con- f* stable was specially authorized to execute it in the perish. In • Curtie's case, which war to be found in Foster, page, there was a difference of opinion b e t ween the Judges, nine of them holding it to be sufficient to describe the warrant gene rally to entitle them to force an entry. In the present case tho prisoner hail been made fully aware of the authority by which the officers were armed ; yet he resisted, and the consequent death of Grainge was undoubtedly manslaughter, and man slaughter, too, of the most aggravated &etre:Leer, approaching closely to the confines of murder. The Learned ttierecant then stated the law as applicable to lodgers and their rights, ap plying them to the case of the prisoner Connolly, who. was 1;ot the owner of, but merely a visitor or lodger ineltableyellouee. He would not trouble the Jury witivany further observations, but should proceed to call witnesses to prove the case which he had stated. The persons concerned in the prosecution had no object in view but the attainment anti furtherance of public justice, and let the verdict of the Jury be what it might, they would be satisfied. Witnesses were then called ; but their evidence was so simi lar to that already published in the report of the Inquest, that it is not necessary to repeat it. Mr. Connolly was then called upon for his defence, and he put in a statement which was read by Mr. KNAPP. Ile then called the following witnesses : Thomas Locke, head borough of Ridge, proved distinctly that the warrant was never read, and diet Dignam had effered 251., to be divided between himself and the other constables, if he would break open the house and secure Mr. O'Connolly. Mr. Walrnsley, a Middlesex sheriff's officer, proved that Mr. Stevens had applied to him to execute a warrant against Mr. Connolly, in Hertfbrdshire, which he refused totio. The Learned JUDGE thought this wa.-; inadmissible evidence uptin the issue which the Jury had to try—namely, the ques tion whether the death of the deceased had been unlawfully occasioned. Captain Nestor proved that Mr. Connolly had been an in mate in his house at Rabley for three months previous to this transaction. The door which the Sheriff 's officer had attempted to enter was the outer door of the house, which was only pro tected by external shutters. He had known Mr. Connolly for 14 years, and he always bore the character of a humane, peaceable, and kind-hearted man. The prisoner Moran had been five years in his sersice prior to December last, and he was a quiet and innofensive man. Mr. Kimpton, the surveyor, produced a model of Rabley_ house, which was made under his direction ; and he had no hesitation in saying that the back door at which Watson had attempted to enter was the outlier door.' Sir Matthew Tierney, Dr..Boyton, Mr. Carpue, Lieutenant Montgomery, Lieutenant Armstrong, Lieutenant Medlieott, Lieutenant Jones, Lieutenant Fletcher, Lientenant Ilauton vile, and several other witnesses, many of whom had known Mr. Conolly for the last,l4 years, spoke- in the highest terms of his character, as a humane, kind-hearted, good tempered man. He was in every respect a man of honthir and a gentleman. The case for the defence being closed, Mr. Justice BEST summed up the ease: The Jury, after deliberating a feW minutes, found both pri-- soners Guilty of Manslaughter. Jud i! g f i r lje J n u t s t t o i _c m e The trial was not over till n in e o ' c l oc k i n th e e veningo o li r E ro s vl T m or o d m er i e n d g t . he prisoners to be brought up for ORATORIOS. -Covr.NT-C; Artnr.N.—The bill of fare for yes terday, at "this- Theatre, together with the feli citous execution of the music it announced, formed a brilliant omen for the remainder of the Lent Season. .The exquisitely sweet Serenata of Ads and Galatea was never more correctly, more • charmiuglf performed ; and the detached pieces, judiciously selected for the second and third parts of the evening's entertainment, were executed in a style that claimed and obtained equal applause. BRAPIAM, SINLAIII, • Mrs. SALMON, bliss STE PHENS, and Miss PATON, had reason to be pleased with their several tasks, and the audience to be equalled satisfied with the manner in which 'those tasteful and scientific singers acquitted themselves. We regret that the press of other important matter prevents our saying any further respecting the harmonious and melodious treat with which we were gratified, .than- that the choice of the compositions brought forward did great honour to Mr:. LlocniA's taste and judgment, and that from his judicioUs power of selection, the lovers of the sublimer species of music have► much to hope. • TM!. LA'Z'E CHARLES DIBDIN. There never, we believe, was there a public meeting, on any account, that was attended with more zeal, or that passed off with more harmonious festivity, than that which took place yesterday at the Freemason's Tavern, ix honour of the late CMAIILF.S Denienc, and for the purpose of erecting a Statue to the memory of his Genius and his Works : the latter are known, and will be known as long as Abe English language shell exist, in every civilized country. Hs was truly the Poet of Humanity, as well as of Patriotism. Of the almost innumerable songs which he wrote, not one contained " a line that he could wish to blot,"---as was said of a former poet, and this may be deemed the highest degree of negative praise, considering the fertility and . the exuberance of genius.— But the positive praise due to his memory is, that all the productions of his muse were .calculated to promote kind and benevolent affections, to excite feelings of piety as well as loyal and patriotic sentiments, and particu larly to animate and do honour to our naval and military de fenders. With the usual improvidence of men of genius, he was often in embarrassed circumstances, but nothing could sour his temper, or rebate that ardour with which he devoted his powets to the service of his country and mankind. We regret that a pressure of other temporary matter prevents us from catering into a detail of the pleasure and bar. mony which characterised the whole of the meeting yes. terday, from the first appearance of Admiral Sir Josr.rm YonaE in the 'Chair, at six o'clock, till the moment that he quieted it, a period of upwards of six hours. Never upon any occasion have we seen a festive chair supported with so much manly sense, good humour, attention, or more appropriate dignity. He seemed indeed to represent the lire, energy, and active spirit, of the British Navy, and his zeal to promote good humour completely accomplished his purpose. After Non Nottit Domine had been given by the best vocal performers of the time, the Chairman gave " The King," " The Duke of York and the Army," " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy," " the rest of the Royal Family," all of which were received with unanimous and warm applause; he then came to the i mme di ate subject of the meeting, and gave " The memory of Cite. n nres Mantle," which lie introduced with a just and ap. propriate tribute to the merits of the departed Bard. We must repeat our regret that we have not room to detail this liberal, manly, and dignified enlogium, which excited universal enthu siasm, and the toast was then drank in solemn silence. Many of Mr. DIBDIN'S songs were then successfully given by B RAltete e, lIELLAser, 13110ADHURST, H.ANVES, and other eminent Performers. linatram anti Bet neeeecir came late into the room, in consequence of other unavoidable engage ments. They received a due tribute of applause on their entrance. We mast now hasten to a conclusio n . Mr. 'l'. and Mr. C. Din Dix were present, and the Chairman, adverting to the circumstance, proposed the health of those a e ir n w p a b r a m tie ly n:l r a ec n e n i e v r e , d. and Th wee y re b o a gratitude for the hon our ob viously overpowered by feelings of returned gentlene I t ' ll a w n i h n conferred on their father anti themselves. In the course of the o a f b c ri o e u r rs b e u w t evening Sir WILLIAM ConeteNGTner proposed the he a lth of the Chairman, w hi c h was received with a burst of a ppl ause that continued some Moments. The Chairman declared that he was taken by surprise, but expressed with promptitude and manly warmth his sense of the honour which he had received. The Chairman then gave Sir liriwAsi COMINGTOX, and the several Naval Officers who were present on the occasion. Mr. Sheriff Weill. ..man and the Corporation of London followed. The Sheriff returned thanks, and paid a due tribute to the memory of 31r. Minim The Committee of Management was also given, anti Mr. YOUNG and Mr. (4.ENint severally testified their thanks on the occasion, in behalf of their col leagues and themselves. The dinner and the wines were excellent and abundant. Many Literary Gentlemen were present, a gratifying proof of the estimation in which the genius of Dennier is held by those fully competent to judge.-- The room contained 400 persons ; and the successive reports of the subscriptions amounted to 4001. Soon after 12 o'clock the Chairman quitted his station,having observed that he felt so much pleasure on the harmony of the day, that he wished he could meet the same company every week,—a wish thet the company reiterated by the applause which attended his departure and the company soon after dispersed with the same order that had presided throughout the whole.
