FROM ST. JAGO.—By an arrival in 14 days from St. Jago de Cuba, we learn, that a Colom bian fleet, consisting of three vessels of war, arrived there about the 10th or 15th of Decem- her, with the Spanish troops of the garrison of Puerto Cavallo. The boats, with the Commodore flit board, were beat off with stones, by the •Spaniards, at St. Jago, and a guard of soldiers Were sent to protect them on landing. Paw( lIATANNAII. - 13y. the schooner Martha we have received Havannah-Papers to the 6th January. By an arrival idflavannah in 18 days f rom St. Jago de Ulna, information was brought that all the vessels of the expedition destined for that place had arrived. The greater part of the C ity of Vera Cruz was destroyed, and the com munication between the Blaugulla and the Castle Was uninterrupted. CIT Y , Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this Morning at 93, at which price they remain "Pady up to this hour, with little doing.—This day being a Holiday, the Bank is shut ; but the S tock Exchange and Foreign Market remain ° p i n• Up to this hour Ido not hear of any Ex- P r ess from Paris having arrived, which is sup- Posed to he owing to the boisterous weather wh►ch prevailed yesterday. We have no reports of a ny description in the City this morning. FOREI GN MARKET,-.The above Market opened t his morning in Mexican Bonds, which were done at 8 % French Scrip appears to be on the rise, and in demand. The Greek Scrip is steady. VVhatever may be the diversity of opinions on the subject of dispute between the LORD CHAN CELLOR and Mr. AnuncnomuiE, it is impossible to read the attacks in the Public Press upon the Noble Lord, without indignation as well as re. gret. Is the eminence of his station to exempt him from the feelings unavoidably incident to human nature ? The Noble and Learned Lord found himself attacked in the Parliamentary re report of a Public Journal. His conscience ac quitted him of all intentional offence, and he con ceived that he was only supporting the dignity of his office, and vindicating the purity of his conduct, in animadverting upon the imputed charge, without reflecting whether that charge was faithfully reported, and even then, the words which he uttered were not marked by anger, though that feeling has been so freely imputed to him. We may even ask Mr. ABERCROMBIE whether, if he were in the same exalted station, and had been subject to the same charge, he was likely to have expressed himself in cooler and :wore measured terms. We conceive that a sense of wounded honour might have operated 'with equal force upon his own feelings, and have drawn forth language not less exceptionable. Is on e of the purest, wisest, most learned, and conscientious Noblemen, that ever occupied his elevated station, to be subject to all the ribaldry, all the rancour, and all the abuse which anony mous, low. rn'tided scribblers, have poured with impunity upon this truly venerable individual, who is the ornament of his Country, as well as of the office which he has so long and so honourably supported.—This is the first charge of the kind that was ever brought against the Noble Lord, and, considering the whole of the case, all of which he can be fairly accused is of baying too precipitately given way to feelings 'ncident to human nature, and most likely to ar ise in a mind conscious of its rectitude. We a re persuaded that no liberal person in this or a ny other country can read the indecent levity and vile slander which have been directed against the Noble Lord, by lit@rary assassins of character, protected only by their obscurity, Without feeling strong resentment and lamenting s° daring an abuse of the glorious Liberty of t he National Press. We closed our last article on the plans of the CLlANctuort of the EXCHEQUER (see THE SUN Of Monday), by quoting the resolutions passed at a 1311131i C meeting of the manufacturers, merchants, woolst a Piers,&c. of Brad ford, and w hich expressed the lc greatest alarm" at the proposition for per rutting th e exportation of British Wool. On re ferring to our P arl i amentary Report o f t hi s d ay, the Reade r will see that already eight petitions, 4 , igne d by upw ar d s o f t we l ve t h ousan d p e rsons in Y orkshi re, have also been presented to the h ou se of Commons, by Mr. WORTLEY, against g ame pr o p os i t i on , an d pray i ng to b e h ear d by c "use' on the merits of their case. So much Gr the question respecting the exportation of Wool! As for the proposition to permit the im portation of foreign manufactured Silks into this country, we refer to the subjoined extract of a communication made to the Silk Trade by a de putation appointed by them to confer with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCTIEQUER upon the pro posed innovation, for their own declaration of the " grievous calamity" which its enforcement will entail upon them,and of the ruin with which the execution of this " practically-difficult and hazardous experiment" will threaten the " very large capital" embarked in their manufacture, and the " very numerous population" depending upon it for their daily bread, and whose "se curity and subsistence are involved in the issue of the question !" Thus far the Silk Trade ! With respect to the third branch of trade, the Linen Manufacture,which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposes (as it now exists), to make the subject of an experiment, Lord DARNLEY contended last night in the House of Lords that the repeal of the bounty on Linens would ruin the infant manufactures in the south of Ire land ! and letters already received from Dundee in Scotland, state that it has been estimated in that town that the repeal of the bounties on Linen will have the effect of depriving fifteen thousand persons of employment !—From the North of Ireland the cry of alarm has not yet been heard ; but it will doubtless reach the ears of Parliament in the course of a very few days, unless indeed Lord LIVERPOOL is correct in his belief that no coarse Linens are exported from that country,— an opinion,however, which we think his Lordship w ill find on inquiry to he erroneous, and that on the contrary, thousands of persons depend in that country upon the continuance of foreign orders, which are always, we believe, for a cer tain low quality of Linen, conditional as to the price, and which would therefore be excluded from the market upon an advance of a single half-penny per yard ! To the propositions affect ing the Herring and Whale Fisheries, no opposi tion, we believe, has as yet been offered by the per sons concerned in them : nor are we so sufficiently acquainted with the present state of those interests, as to be aware whether the continuance of the bounties is really necessary or otherwise to their prosperity. Considering the insignificance of the amount of the bounties, and the magnitude of the concerns upon which they are bestowed, it is probable that the Fisheries will be but little af fected by their repeal ; but if they are now la bouring under adverse circumstances, the insig nificance of the bounties would, with a practi cally enlightened Legislature, be a motive for incrcasing the encouragement, instead of furnish ing an argument for the cessation of the trifling favour now conferred upon them by the country.— But whatever may be the true state of the question as affecing the Fisheries, there is, as we have satis factorily shewn, no doubt whatever as respects either the Woollen or Silk Manufactures ; and it appears by a letter in our present Paper from Newcastle, that even the very limited applica tion of the general principle of free trade to the supply of London with Coals, has produced con sternation amongst the coal owners of Newcastle, &c. who see in the measure " most disastrous con sequences, as well to the great nursery of seamen in the North, as to the important interests of the aggregate body of Coal Owners of North'rnber land and Durham !" Several Ship Owners at Newcastle had also called a public meeting to concert measures on this " alarming occasion," though according to the letter of our Corre spondent, a counter placard signed " A SIIIP OWNER," had prevented the Meeting from being numerously attended ; but our Correspondent expects that 46 by and by, there will be a much greater stir !" As respects tile Coal question, it ought certainly to be considered solely with relation to the effect which may be produced on the great nursery for seamen by Mr. ROBINSON'S proposition ; and if it be thought, after due and careful consideration, that that proposition would injure the Coal Shipping Trade (and we hesitate not to avow our belief that it would be deeply injured by it), then the prohibition against the supply of London with inland coal ought to be continued; and if it be thought a hardship on the inhabitants of the Metropolis, notwithstanding the superiority of their pecuniary circumstances to those of the rest of the nation, that they should be ex clusively burthened for the preservation of a nursery for seamen, then let the duty on sea borne coals imported into the port of London be wholly repealed : and let the burthen be sus tained by the nation at large,in the shape of some other tax in lieu of the Coal Duties. In the mean time these " alarms" from all quarters are very pretty confirmations of the assertions that " the accuracy of the principle of free trade is generally admitted and universally recognized !" We have now before us a stand ing Memorial to the contraty in the Corn Laws, and we have also the instant Declarations which have been made to the contrary by all the parties at present proposed to be made the subject of an experiment by Mr. ROBINSON ! Let Mr. Ito- BINSON, for the mere curiosity of the thing, and for the sake of ascertaining the real senti ments of the whole of the people, upon a question which, if not as a general principle, at least in its respective details, the whole of the people tho roughly understand,—let Mr. ROBINSON, we say, for the sake of making an experimen t upon public opinion, only propose to apply the general principle to the various concerns of the people, enumerating those concerns by their names, as he has done the Silk and Wool Trades, &c.; and he will soon hear this 46 universally admitted" general principle denied in ten thou sand voices of uppaling dismay and consternation from almost every quarter of the Empire !—The whole of the people are as deeply interested in the fate of the present propositions of Mr. ROBINSON, as if all their interests were imme diately involved by them. The Silk and Wool Trades are the present subjects of experiment ; but all the other interests of the country will be brought into the same peril in their turn ; and even the Land Ownersiwill, unless they suc cessfully oppose the new system, soon feel its destructive effects. The following is the extract from the docu ment put forth by the Deputation of the Silk Trade, to which we have alluded above : " We cannot, in the present circumstances of the silk trade, nor in any alteration that will follow immediately on the remis sion of duty, admit the possibility of introducing foreign wrought silks for home consumption. " We are firmly persuaded, that it will require the experience of years (in our opinion many years) of what may be the effect of the repeal of duty, and the remoeal of all restrictions from labour and capital, with the introduction of considerable im provement in the machinery employed in this manufacture, before any safe practical opinion can be given on this momentous question. We submit, that, under the factitious system on which this manufacture has been conducted in this country, its various interests and establishments have become so complicated, and so dependant on prohibition and protection, that a return to the . principles of political econorry of the present day (how ever just in the abstract) is, to this manufacture, matter of great practical difficulty, and hazardous in the experiment. "We implore the Government and the Legislature to con sider, that, under the existing system of prohibition, a very large r c n ap u i m ta e l ro h u a s s poberenuleamtiobr has ked,beoens taught t employment dependoffo _rwhich a sistence ; and is involved. t hat in this question the security of the former and the subsistence of the latter ,4 w e intreat his Majesty's Government to admittlie withestion of remitting the duty on s i lk to stand entirely unconnected any alteration in the prohibition that the silk trade now enjoys, —as we do not hesitate to declare, that though this remission of duty under judicious regulation, would be a boon to the trade, giving to all its departments increased activity and strength, yet, were the remission coupled with any determination to in fringe on the prohibitory system, now, or at any time, which could be at present determined upon it would be regarded by all classes of the trade as a grievous calamity." "After a patient hearing, his Majesty's Government de clared that they will not separate duty from prohibition,—and tri h l this t 3 most lareh. important'' subject that the representations of the deputation shall have immediate attention. JOHN PHIPPS, Sec. "Nvivre shall Lo ndon, eavers'alrl,esti if possible, in our next. It is not true , as stated i n some of the Morni ng Papers, that Colonel FRE EMANTLE has proceeded, or is about to proceed, to Mexico on an import ant mission. By an abstract return, ordered to be printed by the House of Common s , • it appears that in the year ending -five sth January 1824 there have been , imported into Great Bri ta i n from I reland, one fiveht ti zd gar re u dt t li e z rdsfifis- thousand three of ‘v heat, oats, barley, mill ion h sc u hundred i d t fourarneedhundred and eighty-three thousand two hundred and tWeiii,y-sh cwts. of flour and oat meal. These large ex portations of food have been made from a country t he p easantry o f w hi c h are unemployed and star v ing, and have been brought into the markets of anothe r country, whose soil m ore than sufficient for population are much and partially unemployed producing a superabund anceagricultural interest is butsl o o f wl f y oo r d e , co a ve n r d in w g ho fro s me the effects of excessive production, or rather from those of an insufficient demand, and which demand could be immensely increased by the full and profitable employment of all the working classes! The present relative situation of England and Ireland furnishes, in deed, an instructive lesson in political economy ; and in innumerable points of view it proves the pernicious fallacy and consummate folly of the prevailing theories in this most important branch' of political science. By wise and skilfully devised arrangements, and regulating laws, all the population, both of Great Britain and Ire land, may, of course, be profitably employed. Even the wildest and most visionary theo rist cannot be so extravagantly absurd as to ima gine for a single moment that there are any physical obstacles to the employment of the whole of our population, or of four times the number of our population, in valuable and productive industry ; nor can any one attempt to deny that productive employment can ever in any case be unprofitable either to individuals or the State, except in con sequence of a want of skill in its direction and ap plication to such purposes as the real wants and necessities of the nation require. All the unem ployed labour of Great Britain and Ireland, therefore, might, by skilfully devised Legislative arrangements, be so applied as to be in the high est degree beneficial, not only to the labourers themselves, but to the owners of property of every kind, to the community at large, and to the Revenue ; for every fresh applica tion of productive industry is necessarily followed by the creation of new and increas ed wealth ; and the same act of legislation which provides for the production of new wealth, may and can also provide for its distribution in such a manner as shall be advantageous to all the in terests of the state. Notwithstanding the incon trovertible, and, indeed, in the strictest sense, self-evident truth of this plain and practical pro position, - the Iprevailing , theorists have unfortto Aptely succeed in' imbuing the Government, and the Legislature. AOth; the fallacious idea that it i$ - the best and wisest' - cottrsV not to , attempt:to . which it is .nndeniable legislatiOnl could successfully ~ a ccomplish ; and that on the'contrary; With all the means. of treat ing universal prosperity thus acknowledged to beat our disposal, we ought to wait patiently, undel the infliction of interminable difficulty and po verty, and disappointment, for the chance that that may be effected by accident, and by ths•ma, glad influence of a free trade, which we have only seriously to attempt, and skilfully to con, trive, in order to succeed in certainly, speedily, rand most happily accomplishing! There is not a shadow of an argument that can be advanced against this position. . The same Parliamentary Return also states the quantity of colonial wheat imported into Great Britain in the year ending sth January last, at 50,968 quarters, and of meal and flour, at 3,815 cwt. German Papers have arrived, in which appears an article extracted from the Piedmontese Ga zelle, dated Corfu, Jan. 24, giving an account of the notification of the death of Sir Thomas Maitland, by the lonian authorities. The efent having been made known by formal proclama tion, the colours of the fortress and of all the vessels in the harbour were loweied halfway, and the batteries fired 65 minute guns, in corre spondence with the age of the deceas...l. The Senate subsequently issued a public notice, in which, after speaking in terms of high eulogy of the late High Commissioner, it is ordered— " Art. 1. That from the date of the promulgation of these presents in all the islands of these States, all public business shall be suspended for 3 days, in the offices of the Government, the courts of justice, and before the Magistrates. " 2. All places of public amusements, spectacles, circles, shops, &c., except those of the necessaries of life, and of apothecaries, shall be closed for fi days. " 3. There shall be a general mourning throughout these States for 1 month. " 4. The funeral obsequies shall be celebrated for 3 succes sive days in all the churches of these islands. " 5. These presents shall be printed in the Greek and Italian languages for the general information. " By order of the Senate, " Corfu, Jan. 24, 1824. SIDNEY G. OSBORNE.' .p.W.... .............. THE COAL TRADE. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, 28th FEB.—Some thing like a sensation in the Coal trade here has been the consequence of the Minister's avowal that an unlimited quantity of coals should be per mitted to be imported into London by the Pad (Hinton Canal, upon payment of the low duty of one shilling and three pence per chaldron, while sea-borne coals were to be subject to the pay ment of six-shillings. The Ship-owners, however, discreetly pausing upon the thing, have not rashly committed themselves by opposing the Minister in his new regulation. A meeting of this respectable body, it is true, had been called by public ad vertisement, to meet at noon this day, at the Trinity Hall, " to concert the necessary measures on the present alarming occasion"—(such were th• portentous words of the advertisement.) — It would seem, however, from the very slender attendance, and from there being no one pre pared either with RESOLUTIONS, or sentiments even upon the occasion, that the measure was viewed at least hesitatingly by the general body of Ship-owners. Some, indeed, ascribe the pas siveness of the meeting to the neutralizing effect o f a hand -bill very generally circu lated a t an early hour in the morning, cau tioning the Ship-owners from lending themselves to the Coal-owners. " The measures," says the writer, who signs himself A SHIP-OWN " brought forward by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer will not affect Ship-owners ! The Coal owners have only to reduce their price equiva lent to the difference of the proposed duty, and we shall still retain our trade." Whatever relates to the great question of the Coal Trade, being an interesting topic to the Metropolis, and more particularly so, perhaps, at the present crisis, I have briefly submitted to to you, Mr. Editor, what may be termed the first ricirmish here, in consequence of the new modifi cation of the Coal 'Fax by the Minister. By and by, probably, there will be a much greater stir. It was rumoured on 'Change, this afternoon, that, at a full meeting of the Coal-owners, held this day, they, viewing the Chancellor's scheme as one pregnant with the most disastrous conse quences, as well to the great nursery of seamen in the North, as to the important interests of the aggregate body of Coal-•owners in Northumber land and Durham, had determined to submit their most serious remonstrances forthwith to his Majesty's Ministers, and for that purpose they would immediately send off two Deputies to Loudon. Yesterday, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign-office, in Downing-street, agreeably to summons, which sat in deliberation till about five o'clock. Dispatches were last night made up for Mr. BEGO, the Italian courier to take back to Spain, in reply to those brought to London a few days since, by Mr. BEGO, from Sir Wm. A'CounT, our Ambassador at Spain. The Duke of YORK, as Commander-in-Chief, held a Levee yesterday at his Office, in the Horse Guards, which was attended by—Lieut.-General Crosbie, Lieut.-General Hodgson, Major-General Hutchinson, Major-General Conran, Major-General Sir John Dalrympl e , Major-General Swenton, Major-General Murray, Lord Churchill, Lord Hotham, Lord Grantham, and between twenty and thirty others. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE returned to Hanover on the 13th ult. in excellent health, after having been on a visit to Berlin and Brunswick. Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, Prince LEO.. POLO left town for Claremont. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Princess SOPHIA, yesterday, visited the Duke of YORK, where their Royal Highnesses partook of a dejeune. MURDER AT BETHNAL-GREEN.-Notwithstand ing the most patient and ceaseless investigation during the last four days, in every quarter likely to obtain a clue to the disco very of the real perpetrators of this barbarous deed, the whole transaction is still involved in an impenetrable mystery. So me suggestions were privately 'made at the inquest on Saturday, and in consequence of those hints instructions were giv en t o the officers of Whitechapel establishment, who have been on the look-out ever since without obtaining any further informa tion worthy of particular remark.

The House was crowded and the applause abun dant. There was a large assemblage of the higher orders. COYENT-GARDEN.—Mr. C. KEMBLE was pre vented by a very severe cold, which quite disfi gured his face, from performing the part of Romeo on Monday evening ; it was therefore assigned to Mr. COOPER, a very judicious actor, who is now become one of the established favourites of the Public. He acquitted himself so well as not to require the allowance usually extended to those who are called to act on a sudden emer gency, and excited much applause. Miss F. H. KELLY is decidedly more successful in the part of Juliet than in any other which she has as sumed, and her performance was really interesting. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

David Sumner, a distressed-looking man, was indicted for stealing a silver watch, value 30s. the property of Mr. Folkard, silversmith, of 142, Blackfriars'. road. The prisoner, it appeared, went into the shop, and requested to look at some watches, which were shown him, and while Mr.Folkard's attention was occupied, the prisoner snatched one of the watches, and ran off. He was pursued, and taken with the property in his posses.. sion. In his defence he said, that he had been se veral days without food,and starvation drove him , to the act for the mere purpose of being transported for life. He was sentenced to seven years trans portation. _ Thomas Jerre and William Burgess were indicted for stealing a quantity of charcoal, :the property of their master, Mr. Richard Comer,of the Borough.

These quantities are only moderate, but there is not much dis position on the part of our millers to purchase Wheat to-day; the prices therefore remain as last quoted. Barley is' rather dearer. Beans and Peas are unaltered. The Oat trade re mains in much the same state as last reported. Earl GROSVENOR. has given a piece of ground . at Pimlico whereon to build a new Church.
