This is Settling-day at the Stock Excita nge, but we do not hear at present of any failures. The Amphitrite Greek.' - ifian of war, from Na poli de Romani, has arrived in the river with dispatches. A Flanders Mail arrived this morning.—The Following are its principal contents : BRUSSELS, Ocr. 6.—Their Majesties have been pleased to send a sum of 2,500 florins for the relief of the sufferers by the hurricane which laid waste part of the province of Luxemburg on the 18th July last. The King has also assigned for their use a further sum of 6,000 florins. • It is on the 18th of this month that the States-General will meet, in conformity with the Constitution. This year there will be at least 45 new Members, in consequence of deaths or pro 'motions. The number of 56 Members is necessary to constitute the 2d . Chamber. As the whole number is but 110, and the 45 new Members must be first regularly admitted and take the oaths, it appears that only.lo need remain .away to prevent the Cham ber from deliberating:, Let us hope that every one will repair to his post. The public are very anxious for the communication which will be made to the Chambers, with a view to remedy many things that have given rise to complaints. It is atlimed that imeasures have heen resolved upon, front which some ameliov. afions may be expected. • A private letter front Paris mentions .as probable the recal ' of General Guilliminot . from the Embassy at Constantinople.— .The favour in - :which that General stood with the Duke of An gouleme during the war in Spain, leads to a belief that he will take an active part in the Govenunent. It is added, that he will be succeeded by M. tie Ferroways, and also that Baron de Datnas - will have the command of the army in Spain, and enr. else at the same. time the functions of Anibassador. D itEsni;:4, S T.27.—The Grand Duke Constantine arrived here on the, 25th. and the Princess his Consort yesterday. The Grand Duke will remain here only a few days; but the Prin. cess will stay here.for the winter for the recovery of her health. The King will have his summer residence at Pitnitz on the 30th, and come to Dresden fer the winter. Prince Maximilian will then go with the Princess his daughter to Florence anti Madrid, to visit his daughter the Dowager and the reigning Grand Duchess of Tuscany, and afterwards the Queen of Spain. FR.ANKrowr, QcT.-3.—The King of Bavaria will set out on the - 12th of this month for. Vienna, and the Queen, with the Princesses, the following day. The marriage is expected to take place on the 27th. It is intended to erect at Munich, near the Glyptotheca, founded by the Prince Royal, a new edifice, on which will be placed the collections of paintings at. Schleisheim and .Munich. Besides the grand gallery, it is said that four others will be forme& namely, at Augsburg, Nuremberg. Itatishon, and Wartzburg.—(Brandr Papers, Oct. 9, and Frankfurt Ditto, Oct. 5.) We have received Gibraltar Chronicles to the Wth ult. which state that the Spanish Council at Lisbon had communicated intelligence to the Board of Health-at Cadiz, that several suspicious diseases bad manifested themselves in the towns of Carverra (district of Torres Vedras), Sierra de San Gras, Filhaboar, and Cavell, all in the kingdom of Portugal. The Board had in con sequence forbiddep admission to vessels coming from the Portuguese coast b6yond Lisbon, and subjected those coming from that capital, or from the coast between it -and the Spanish frontier, to a quarantine of one-fortnight. Mr. BLAQUIRE,who arrived in London yester day morning from Corfu, has brought the most satisfactory intelligence of the success of the Greek cause. The-Turks have been defeated in every action, and, when he left; 100 Greek ves sels were in pursuit of the Egyptian Beet, deter mined to give them battle wherever they may come up with them. The followin g is a letter dated Malta, Sept. 4 :—" The Paella of EGYPT'S expedition a g ainst the Greeks sailed on the 16th, 'l7th, 18th, and lUth of July, consisting of about one hundred and ninety-five vessels, includin g the ships hired to transport the troops, most of them British and we may mention, that should they fall in with any Greek vessels, they will be exposed to capture." Mr. MACDONALD, the late Consul at Algiers, has arrived passenger in the Nocton packet from Gibraltar. • HENRY GRATTAN DOUGLAS, a native of Ire land, is appointed Chief Magistrate at Van Die: man's Land. On Friday last, an interesting ceremony was performed at the Rev. Rowland Hill's Chapel, in Illackfritirs road, namely, the ceremony of baptizing three youths, natives of the island of Madagascar, who were sent over to this country about six years ago by the King of that island, for the purpose of being instructed and educated in the principles of the Chris tian religion. The ceremony of baptism was held preparatory to their leaving England, from which they are about to depart for Madagascar. A bout 11 o'clock, the chapel doors were opened, and the interior soon filled with a highly respectable congrega tion, the majority of which were composed of elegantly dressed ladies, all of whom seemed to take a deep interest on the occa sion. The three youths, the eldest of whom appeared to be about 18 years of age, were conducted into the chapel by the Rev. Mr. James, and took their seats immediately under the pulpit.— p rf o h s e s es y s o m u i n o g i re m n e a n n e p r e a d s r i e n s g s et c 1 0 te t i h m e n k e : e u m rl e o a n n e I , ' ) a s f h t i l o w n i , r f a e n a t . l tures, except their colour, resembling the natives of that part of the continent of' Africa, which is conti guous to M a d agascar. The service commenced with a hymn, in which the young; ouinzd n:ie. en joined ; after which the Minister ascended the pulpit, livered an extempore prayer. He then described the h a pp y o r. fects produced by a conversion of a number of the natives of Madagascar, a country of which the great mass of its population mere Pagans. The Minister then stated the progress in use. ful and religious knowledge the three young men had acquired since their arrival in England, and which it was devoutly to be wished they would make a good use of when they returned to their native country. The copy of a letter was read, the original of which had been some time ago transmitted to the King of Madagascar. It was written and dictated by one of the youths then present, of the name of Omoah, and in excellent language described the advancement he. and his companions had made in useful knowledge ; the happiness and thankfulness they felt for the blessings of' a Christian edu cation, and calling on their King, to disseminate the Holy Scrip tures all over his dominions. The Minister proceeded to state, that the slave trade had been carried on at Aladagitscar to an amazing extent, previous to the arrival in England of the three young men now present, one of whom was the son of a mau in great power in that island. The traffic in human flesh was now abolished by the King, who gave it up with no small degree of self-demal, under the stipulation, that a certain num ber of youths, the children of his subjects, shook' be con. veyed to Great Britain, educated in the principres of the Christian Faith, and when they were accomplished, the youths to be conveyed back to his dominions. The above conditions were readily agreed to, and carried Into effect, by . Sir Robert Farquhar, late Governor at the Mauritius, upon whom too much I raise cannot be bestowed, for his conduct in affording the Missionaries, and those persons intrusted with the conversion of the natives of Madagascar, every facility in his power for the undertaking. A letter received from Mr. Jones, the Mission ary, dated from the interior of Madagascar, was also read to the congregation. It described, in glowing language, the hundreds of converts that had been mate in the country since his arrival, the inhabitants of many of the villages having given up their barbarous customs, and were now to be seen on tile Sabbath, reading and expounding the Holy Scriptures to each other. The letter concluded, expressive of the assist ance at all times rendered by Governor Farquhar to those who were intrusted with the important duties of converting the in habitants of an island, the population of which, was estimated at four millions of souls. The Rev. Mr. James now proceeded to perfonn the ceremony of baptism, and concluded thiti novel and interesting ceremony, by supplicating tahneapthe fulfilmentrayersof,die congregation for the safe return of the youths , of the hopes entertained of the diffusion of the Christian. know ledge amongst the natives of .Madagascar. 162 k 8,272 4,914 1173 THE 'TIMNTRE. COVENT-GARDEN.--The dramatic Romance of The Mountaineers was revived here last night, with all the present strength of the Theatrt!.--- Mr. C. KEMBLE followed the steps of his brother in Octavian, with judgment, but without servility. DURUSET - made more of Sadi than we ex pected, and Miss LOVE playfully supported him in Agnes. Miss LACEY, - who is one of the most judicious actresses' this Theatre possesses, gave a strong inteiest to Zoia,tida, - and Miss F. H.. KELLY displayed great feeling in Floranthe. The other parts were well filled by BLANCHARD, CONNOR, and EGEwrox. , The House was • better attended than is usual on a Monday night, but the galleries, as usual, were very turbulent. H AMA RKET.—The Rivals, the first dramatic production of Mr. SHERIDAN, was last night! revived at this Theatre, and so well suppdrted as to justify the applause; which it received in ge neral from a numerous audience. On this occa sion, Mrs. W. %VEST, of Drury-Lane Theatre, per formed the part of Lydia Languish. We should have allotted to her the part of Julia, as mpre suited to her pathetic po'iers, and have assigned Lydia to Mrs. CHATTERLEY ; but it is justice to each to acknowledge that they both acquitted themselves to the satisfaction of the audience. Cooemt we consider as one of the best Faulklandi that we have witnessed. The part was marked by judgment, feeling, and that sense eve irri tation which is SO admirahly d rawt f by the Author, who, we have been assured, on competent authority, designed that character as a portrait of himself. It need hardly be said that LisToN, in Acres, was correct, humorous, and diverting. Mrs. W. %VEsT was warmly received on her en trance. It has been reported that this interest ing actress has resigned her situation at Drury lane Theatre, because the Managers will k not en gage her hu,band. We ran hardly think that she would be so indiscreet ; but we may fairly say that her husband possesses such versatility of talents as would render him a very useful, acqui sition to that Theatre. MISS Foom. The fashionable, as well as the theatrical, world has recently been so much occupied by the treatment which this engaging actress is said to have suffered, that the public at large may rea. sonably expect to know all that has occurred on the subject; we therefore copy the following or . tide from The Time: of this day, w hich, it seems, appeared in a Weekly Journal of Sunday last...— Miss FooTE possesses so much merit us no actress that the public must feel an interest in hearing that if she has been really injured and insulted to the extent stated, she will receive due retribu tion. ted to the insulting treatment stated in the Deetzes Gazette Jec butt also iss FOOTE.—" It is true that she bas . not only been sub (which, by the by, is incorrect in some of its detai ls), that she has been compelled to endure similar insulting treat. ment a myna time ; and all within the space of a few weeks. We are also bound to add, th a t b ot h th ese d isa pp o i n t men t s h a ve been accompanied by, wh a t a t p resen t a pp ear , u nnece s sary at'. fronts. For instance, a day was 'named for the wedding, the ring was bought, settlements were drawn up and approved, and the expectant bridedressed and ready to be conducted to church, when, after waiting for hours, instead of the EAtlentan. arrives , a letter front him, imploring the lady to believe nothing she might hear in his disfavour, that he could account for his con ut h towards her. this suliserfucTitt behavi eo Vine*.

Nothing can exceed the warmth of the professions contained in his letters to her during the whole process of this affair, down to the hour of the second disappoint ment; but of these it is probable the public will be enabled to judge. At any tate, it calls for a strong case of defence on the part of a wealthy man, twice to fix the wedding-day with poor young woman, and twice to outrage her feelings by dis. appointments. As to his family locking hint up—that, as he is of full age, would be only to excuse his heart at the expence of his head—to make him a fool instead oca knave." Mr. K EAN has been playing at Cork. Ire was announced to perform Alexander the Great for his benefit, and Sylvester Daggerreoed in the Farce, on Saturday last. In the latter character he was to introduce imitations of several of the London Performers. This is but fair retaliation, for most of them have mimicked him in private, and some of them been absurd enough seriously to adopt his manner in public. The legal investigation of certain charges of gallantry against a popular actor and the wife of a gentleman adorned with civic honours, is posi tively expected to come forward very soon. Mr. PERKINS, who acquired considerable credit by his performances at the Tottenham-street Theatre, and who has only had opportunities of appearing in subordinate characters, during the late Season, at the English Opera House, was to have perfo rme d F au lkl an d i n. The Rivals, last night, at th e Haymarket Theatre, if the arrange ments at Covent-Garden bad not allowed the ab sence of Mr. COOPER. Miss PATON.--As many vague reports are in circulation respecting the marriage of this inte. resting Lady, we taker this opportunity of stating, and we vouch for the fact, that she was some time ago married to Lord WILLIAM LEN-. Nox. The ceremonial took place at Oxford.— (Liverpool Mercww.) We have been favoured with th e following extract of a letter, dated Sierra Leone, August 23 :—" The rainy season (now not far from a close) has been peculiarly mild and healthy ; indeed, there is at present scarcely any sickness in the Colony." Having adverted to the defeat of the Ashantees on the 11th July, the writer proceeds:--" Previous to these Satisfactory accounts, the opinion of the Ashantee Sovereign on the massacre which took place at the unfortunate defeat of our late Governor had been communicated to us. lie is stated to have condemned this atrocity in strong terms ; but we are dis posed to attribute his expressions on this oc cas i on to his fears and his policy rather than to his humanity. lie dreads that we shall make It a war of extermination, as he cannot be per suaded that the wanton slaughter of so many of our brave coun trymen can ever be forgiven by us. The illaek Monarch is likewise said to have exprestied the greatest astonishment at the infatuation which led Sir C.

BOW-STHEET—(TIIIS Dayt./ohn Jones, a coachm a n, was brought before the Sitting . Magistrate, 'l'., HALLS, Esq., charged with stealing a silver watch, two gold seals, key, &c. the property of Mr. James Pownall. The party, it appeared, had been drinking together during the greater part of .Friday last, when before they separated the prisoner contrived to steal the articles in qu.stion. On being apprehended neat morning, he said he knew what it was for, and produced - the dupliea - e. The prisoner in his defence admitted taking the watch, &c. but declared he had no. intention of keepin. , it, and.being in want of money to pay his lodging, caused him to pledge the property. He was committed. illAsstax-IlousE.- 7 A warrant was graved by the I tmtu • Moron to Mr. Messer, coach and harries: raker, of No. 14 Margaret-street, Cavendish-square, to search for a carriage, which he made affidavit had been stolen•from him, by a young man who pretended to be the nephew of the Duke of .Argyll, and was detained upon the premists of Mr. Dixon, the proprie. for of the Horse R e p o sit or y in Barbican. l i cadbetrer, the mat shalman, executed the warrant, and Mr..Messcr and Mr. Disoil (the former attended by a ('ounsA and Solicitor, the latter by a Solicitor), appeared before his Lordship,. for his decision upon the case. A. warrant is out against the pretended nephew of his Grace, and.some difficulty arose as to the poWer of the Lord Mayor to interfere in the absence of the person charged with the felony. Mr. Messer stated, that one Laurence Campbell called at his house on the Saturday, the 4th of SepurnhA, and saying that ' he was the son of Cam. Campbell, and the nephew of the Duke of Argyll, intimated that he wished to have a carriage for a fortnight. Witness agreed to let him have the carriage 21. a-week, upon receiving satisfactory intelligence as to charac. ter. Campbell referred witness to his• landlady, who gave him an unexceptionable character, and said he was the per= son he represented himself to be. The carriage wits lent under those circumstances, upon the positive understanding that it should be returned in a fortnight, and an agreement on the above-mentioned teems. Witness( asked Campboll whether he had means to support the carriage ? " Yes," said Campbell, " I have 700/. a-year." The possession of such a property was proportionate to the expence of die hire, and wit. ness having taken what he conceived to be a necessary precou. tion, thought himself secure. The time elapsed, and no car, riage, and no Mr. Campbell, returned. At last it was tweet. tatned that. the carriage was . lit Mr. Diston's Repository, and that Laurence Campbell was s swindler. Mr. LAW, complainant's Counsel, now wished to examire Mr. Dixon as to the mode in which he became possessed of • he carriage. _ _ Mr. Dixon, fur some time, refused to give the requir.xl ex. planation, according to the advice of his Solicitor ; but the 140 Maros, at length, succeeded in getting an explanation, anti Mr. Dixon said, that on Saturday the 9th inst. - a person with whose face he .was called upon him, accompanied by a gentleman, and said that the gentleman hatl'a carriage to dispose of, and asked whether he (Mr. U.) would lend any money on it. lie said he had no objection to do so, and if they would step . into the countingshouse his clerk would the business with them in the usual form. He knew nothing more of the trans. action until Mr. Messer called upon him, but he knew that the carriage was left on, his premises, and be believes that the suns of 341. was advanced: i.. Campbell was, he believed, the person to whom the clerk _paid the check, and the eat. Hoge was said to belong to Mr. but who either ut them was, he (Mr. Dixon) did not know except by address and sight. Only one of them he knew by sight, and that was Campbell. When Mr. Messer called upon him he had just arrived from Brighton. He told Mr. Messer in answer to his demand, that he had advanced money on the carriage, an . .l upon upon being threatened with an action in trover, referred that gentleman to his Solicitor. He denied that Mr. Messer had mentioned that the carriage had been stolen from him. Thomas Seers, clerk to 3r. Dixon, stated that „Campbell called as his master had described. Mr. LAW then again submitted that Mr. l)ixon should enter into recugnizances to appear; his own recognizanNs would be sufficient. The bonD lifaxo.lt said he should require nothiqg of tlic• kind. It couhl not be meant to charge Mr. Dixon with buyir, the carriage knowing it to have been stolen. Whatever Indis cretion he might be charged with in advancing money to a stranger, there was not the slightest ground for accusation of a criminal nature. Ile (the Lord Mayor) spoke from his expe rience and his knowledge of the business.- De could see per fectly well that the transaction, although chargeable certainly with irregularity, might arise very naturally In the course of business. The born MAYOIL then ordered Leadbetter to gve up the carriage to Mr. illes4er, and Mr. Dixon intimated that the casa should not end in the Justice-room. Won Vesterd ay, Edward Ha m+ brought up for final examination and fully committed on a charge oflugh way robbery, and a murderous assault on a woman named Drew. The particulars have already been published._ The parties were bound over to prosecute. Mr. B. LITTLETON, the gentleman who fought a duel on Saturday with a Mr. 110oEtts, near Primrose-hill,and who was wounded in the side, lies ut his residence in Portland.street in a very precarious state. The ball grazed the side, and the report was that the wound, which perforated the flesh nearly half an inch, was not dangerous; but on Sunday morning symptoms were very un. favourable, attended with much fever. onueswPa;rl7:lllKotgt; Prologue t i :R L ic t N i h i m it e n o t tf c c e l , : r : l B .se i ( 1:1 1 fi t 1 8 1 7:1:! , 1 ) , , e g a n i t l l : 7 , l I c l ie spoke r t : a a p c c o b n u i ri u t d ; , , i u v r a i. been formerly a hovel ,ffir ogres !

WrxcnierrElt. OCT. 9.—On Thursday last was celebrated, with uncommon demonstrations of joy, the Alien.' Feaat.— This Society, like its Sister Charity, the Natives' Society, was established in the " olden times," on the philanthropic principle of Apprenticing poor Children. The annual festival is as well for the purpose of ascertaining, by individual examination of the apprentices, whether the objects of the Charity are properly fulfilled, as of electing Stewards for the subsequent year, and last, though not least, of bringing. together the Supporters of the Institution—first in the service of God of all Charity, and then around the social and convivial hoard. The Stewards and Trustees assembled at the White Hart Inn, soon after ten o'clock, and from thence proceeded, attended by a Band of Music and Colours, together with the Apprentices in regu lar procession, to the Cathedral Church. After an appro priate Senjce and Anthem, conducted by Dr. Chard and the Gentlemen and Choristers, a most excellent and instructive Sermon was preached on the occasion, by the Rev..l. 1). Zit!. wood, A.M. Chaplain of the County of Hants.—On returning from church, the whole proceeded to St. John's House, for the purpose of transacting the annual business of the Charity, and then separated to prepare for the feast. Between four and five o'clock, so numerous a company sat down to dinner in the noble room at St. John's House, that it became necessary to lengthen the tables for their better accommodation, There was a profit lion of every species of game, for which the Society was indebted to the following Noblemen and Gentlemen, whose healths 4,6,1-PI H.

After the usual loyal and pa. triotic toasts, others connected with the city and the Charity, were received with repeated acclamations ; and too much praise cannot be given to the Rev. C. Richards, jun., who presided as Chairman, and kept the whole company alive by his exer tions. Nothing could exceed the applause which followed his proposal for the health of the Rev. J. D. Zillwood, and for the publication of his discourse.—The Reverend Gentle. man, in returning thanks, promised to consider or it, and de. Glared that, " should he (however far front his private wishes) determine in the affirmative, any protit which might arise, should be dedicated to the purposes of the Charity." It is to be hoped that the public will not be denied an opportunity of tes. tif'ing their approbation of a head and heart to which the Aliens' Society Is so much indebted. Several excellent Speeches were made, and the professional and other Gentlemen present contributed much to the harmony of the evening. The Uand also played, at intervals, appropriate Airs, and " Mirth and Music I.ove (brotherly love) and Wine," never met with more cordiality than on this occasion.—The new Stewards are, Alexander Baring, Esq. M.P. and R. ‘l'llitear, Esq., of Alres. ford.—The Collection amounted to 1341. 13s. fld., which con ' siderabls exceeds that of the past year, and there is every pro. spect of a still greater increase at the next anniversary.
