Sheridan having once characterized Coldbath fields' Prison as the Bastile, in a speech in the House of Commons, several Members of the Administration rose up indignantly to repel the charge of its at all partaking of the nature of that curse of Paris. Sheridan offered to prove that it was considered as a Bastile in London ; and in accordance with this offer he quitted the House, in company with one of the Members who had taken him up. He called a coach at 'Westminster Hall, and on coaches asking where be should drive to, he replied, " to the Bastile;" and he was accordingly driven to Coldbatla fields' Prison. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1827. CHINA. The following details are derived from the Malacca Observer of February 13 : By the latest accounts of the Tartar affar, it ap pears that the rebels are carrying every thing before them. A document just received, dated Canton, January 2, informs us, that Ele, Keu-chang, and the Cashgar, have been lost; that the high officer, King- Tseang, has been killed, and the Imperial army anni hilated. The rebels are said to be very numerous, amounting to tens of tens of thousands. The followin g Royal mandate, which refers to this affair, chews the gracious disposition of his Majesty towards his faith ful servants, and how liberally he rewards the merits of those who die in the defence of their eountry, " IMPERIAL EDICT. " KING-TSEANG, commandant in Ele, was twice sent to Cashgar to examine into the rebellious con.. duct of Chang-Kih-L.Trh. He managed the affair so unskilfully, that he was unable to penetrate to the bottom of it, and, consequently, to transmit to us a correct statement. We have thought upon his daily conduct in Ele, which has hi therto been distinguished - by diligence and attention in the discharge of his duties ; in consideration of which he was afterwards appointed Resident of Cashgar. Six months elapsed before he inquired into, or made any report of, the real circumstances of Chang-Kih-Urh, then wandering without his host, at the expiration of which time the rebels ac tually became possessed of the city. It now ap pears, according to the statements of Chang-Ting and others, that the rebels surrounded and attacked Cashgar, upon which King-Tseang led out his troops, and opposed them to the utmost of his power. In about two months the rebels dug a sub terraneous passage to the city, and by that means entered it. Afterwards the royal troops attacked them, and killed many persons. But although al! the ammunition of the Imperial Army was expended, and the Resident's resources entirely destroyed, he determined to sacrifice his life for his country, by maintaining his position till death. We weep over him, and deeply commisserate his fate. We com mand ydu to confer upon him the posthumous title of Guardian of the Prince during his minority.' %%Te command the Board to consult and decide upon the manner in which our favour shall be extended, and inform us of the result. It is further our Royal pleasure to command you to introduce the Resident's eldest son at Court, and allow his family to return to the capital, after a hundred days of mourning are completed. We likewise command the Governors of the four provinces of Kan-seuh, Heen-se, Ho-nan, and Chih-tae, to appoint officers to take charge of his family, and also to show our abundant liberality, by rewarding them with a thousand taels of silver. " Let the Board know this. Respect this." The original, of which the above is nearly a lite ral translation, omits the circumstances of the Resi dent's death, and is indeed, throughout, remarkably obscure. It is pretty evident, however, that the whole of the officers and troops in that engagement have been killed by the rebels. Other accounts mention the capture of the city, and the loss of several of the troops on their way to succour it. How the disastrous events which agitate the northern part of this great Empire will terminate, is unknown. The Emperor seems to be determined to reduce the rebels to subjection, whilst they, on the other hand, resolve as firmly to shake off the yoke under which they groan. Little Bucharia, the seat of the revolt, extends from east to west more than a thousand miles Bri tish, and from south to north, upwards of five hun dred English miles. The population is thin. In D'Anville's. time it was reckoned more than one million. If, therefore, Taou-kwang, his Imperial Majesty of China, will grant these people inde pendence, it is likely the affair will be accommo dated. But if he will not allow a dismemberment of his grandfather's and his father's empire, he is likely to waste the resources of China Proper, and afford an opportunity for the disaffected at home to rise up against him. SUMMER ASSIZES. OXFORD CIRCUIT.-GLOUCESTER, SEPT. 6. MORO A 1 , 7 V. LEONARD. This was an action brought by the father of a boy, named Henry Morgan (as his prochain anti), to re cover from the defendant, a millwright at Stroud, a compensation in damages for assaulting and horse whipping the said Henry Morgan. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE having summed up, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, .51. The Oxford Circuit concluded here at a late hour this evening. _ Sarah Crpin, aged 50; Kezia Orpin, her daughter, aged 18; and Henry Pym, aged 20, were indicted for feloniously stealing, at the parish of Stroud, a quantity of coal, the property of George Warner.— The Jury found the prisoners " Guilty." The Learned JUDGE then said that the sentence of the Court was, that Sarah Orpin should be con fined in the Penitentiary for the space of twelve calendar months, and kept to hard labour; and Kezia Orpin and William Pym be confined in the same place for six months, and kept to hard labour. SALE OF THE AREOPAGUS.—MT. Burrell yesterday sold the building in Cannon-street, formerly the chapel in which Dr. Collyer used to preach, but which has lately been converted into the Areopagus, or arena in which the disciples of the Rev. Robert Taylor used to as semble weekly, under the name of the Christian Evidence Society. Since the imprisonment of the Rev. Orator it has been closed, the disciples not coming forward with suf ficient spirit to meet the expences. The sale took place at Garraway's Coffee-house, in the large room, which was crowded with persons, many of them the orator's - disciples, especially about half-a_dozen females. The lot consists of the Chapel, which is entered from 86, Cannon-street ; there is also aecess from Oxford-court. The interior is fitted up with two galleries, in a neat chaste style, with balustrade fronts to the upper tier. The ascent to the pul pit is immediately from the vestry-room ; the basement is occupied with roomy brick vaults ; over the chapel there are a spacious airy achool-room, and six smaller rooms. It is held on a lease for 93i years from Midsummer, :827, at a clear ground-rent of 65/. per annum ; she vaults un der the chapel are let for ell. per annum to a tenant at will, and the lease contains a covenant that the lessee shall insure to the amount of 1,500 /. The sum i t brought was 7501. It was built about eight years since, and cost nearly 4,0001. . SALARIES OF PERFORMERS.—Mrs. Butler, who was introduced to the stage by Charier the Second, and was the daughter of a decayed knight, rose afterwards to great estimation, and she played the pi incipal characters in Dioclesian, The Chances, and in Arthur and Emme at the En g li s h O pera- h ouse. W e a contemporary t o s h ow t h at s h e was li havene , theno now performi ng " a hired actress," and that she had only a salary of 40s. per week. When she wished to obtain an advance of ss. ready as much as any member of the company, an d th a t left the Kin_ g's Th ea t re , an d per we e k, it was refused, on the ground that s h e h a d al the mana gers could not afford to allow h er more. Sh e accordingly, in a fit of anger, went to Dublin. The profits of what were called the "sharers" of the different companies, of course depended upon the receipts at the doors. Colley Cibber tells us, that regular sa laries to actors and a c t resses began under Swiney, at the Haymarket ; but the fact is otherwise, and s tipulated weekly stipends to perform ers , who had no share in the property of the house, wer e k nown as long since as the reign of Elizabeth. Thomas Heywood, the old dra matist, who asserts that he either wrote or had a hand in 220 plays or dramatic performances in 1599, was a hired actor " to Philip Henslowe, at a salary of ss. per week for the first year, and 6s. Bcl, per week for the second. ST, OMER, AUG. 30. The St. Omerians, the English, and the Bel gians, who inhabit this town, are in the highest state of excitement, in expectation of the arrival of king Charles X. which, it is stated, will take place next week. This town has less the ap pearance of a French than of an English or Dutch one. The streets are wide and extremely clean, the houses large and comfortable. St. Omer is situated in an extensive plain that was formerly a marsh, but now exhibits every appear ance of fertility, being covered with fruit trees, vegetables, and corn. There are two or three extensive manufactories within the walls. The one which merits the greatest attention is the clay pipe manufactory belonging to Mr. Fiolet : from six to eight hundred men are constantly employed ; and from eighty to one hundred thousand pipes are manufactured daily. They are sent to Holland, the North of France, and to most of the sea ports in the kingdom. The tatablishment is well worth a traveller's notice. There is a magnificent ruin at the extremity of the town : it was formerly the celebrated abbey of St. Bertin. The camp is situated about 2 miles and a half from St. Omer, and 17 or 18 thou sand men have been employed during these six weeks in erecting batteries, digging trenches, and strengthening the fort erected last year, called the Fort of Enringhen. If the allied armies were in hostile array on the French frontiers, and were about to invade their territory, greater ac tivity could not be displayed than is shown in the preparations now going forward to entertain his Majesty with a mock fight and an attack upon a (supposed) fortified town. The men are fre— quently kept at hard labour from six o'clock in the morning till eight at night, and we are per suaded they would have to encounter less fatigue in a real campaign. A great number of English, from Brussels, Lille, Ghent, Arras, and even Paris, have arriv ed to witness this innocent warfare. The hotels are crowded, provisions have doubled in price, and it is no easy matter to procure a bed-room, unless, indeed, you consent to pay about four times as much for it as you would at any other ' period. The fair daughters of Albion, some two hundred of them, are seen walking about the neighbourhood of the camp admiring the French gaudy uniforms and martial appearance of the military, who seem not a little proud that so many beauties should feel desirous of witnessing their evolutions. The French Officers show the greatest attentions to these fair strangers, and every possible accommodation is afforded them to see the sights. There are to be half a dozen balls, concerts, &c. during next week. His Ma jesty is to occupy the magnificent hotel belong ing to Monsieur Sandelin. Yesterday evening, an inquest was held at the Wheat-sheaf, Rotherhitbe, on the body of a per son unknown. From his dress and appearance, seemed to I.3Ave f;.l.l.owed the tade of a black 'smith, and the outward marks of violence which were apparent upon his body excited the strong eat suspicion. Repeated inquiries have been 'nude by the friends of the deceased as to the man ner' of his death, but nothing satisfactory has been elicited. The supposition is, that having visited a friend on board a vessel immediately bound to Rio Janeiro, he accidentally fell from its side, and by the concussion of some passing vessel, had received the wounds discovered upon him,which deprived him of the power of animation. The mate of the vessel, and several of the ship's company, were examined, but they seemed wholly ignorant of the cause of his death, and the jury returned a verdict of—" Found drowned." Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Crown and Anchor, corner of Bear-yard, Fleet market, .ou the body of Francis Walker, aged 65, who was found dead in his bed the prece ding morning. It appeared that the deceased had formerly been in partnership with a most respectable law-stationer, in Bream's-buildings, Chancery lane, but had latterly been much reduced, and lodged in the above house. On Thursday morning one of the lodgers knocked at the door of the deceased's room, but not re ceiving any answer, he gave an alarm, and a surgeon was immediately sent for, who pronoun ced the In - 7# to be quite dead. The surgeon stated, that` not perceiving any external marks on the body of-the deceased, he opened it, f or the purpose of' ascertaining the cause of hi s death, and found ntarly three pints of water in the cavity of his chest, which he had no doubt prevented the expansion of the lungs, and caused his death. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God." On Wednesday afternoon, as a respectable middle-aged gentleman, named Cooper, was sid ing his horse at a very moderate pace from Hampstead, at the entrance into Kentish-tow n , h e w as observed by Mr. Davis, a butcher, resid ing in Green-street, suddenly to fall from his horse and pitch on his head in the road. Mr. Davis immediately went to his assistance, and with the help of two other persons, supported the unfortunate gentleman to the side of the road. Mr. Charles Hickman, a surgeon, near the spot, was immediately sent for,. and by his advice Mr. Cooper sensibility, U pon hi s arr ival there, a wound of about a was don e to a ff or d e a o l f .e the d. rupture Every hi ofn thing inch and a half wa s discovered on his head, and an Inch taken to his surery in a state of in g h i m re li e f, but h e expire d i n blood-vessel brain yntoms i p app about three hours after. Yesterday an inquest was held on the body by Mr. Stirling, the coro ner, and a verdict " Died by the visitation of God " recorded. _ .. A f Carolina ed Madrid, paper gives the fo ,i4f.ii4llgtextiri extract e ( t N o o f r t h a letter, l received at t h a t place :—" Our distin g ui s h e d countryman, Washington Irving,is at p resen t i n this place.

LAST INDIES. DEFEAT OF THE TALIENS BY THE BURMESE. CALCUTTA, APRIL s,—The following communica tions from the Viceroy of Rangoon to the British Authorities, with which we have been favoured, con vey the Burmese view of the suppression of the late insurrection. Their force is considerably exaggerated, but the war was popular at Ava, and there was no want of volunteers : After the English General had restored Rangoon, and taken his tleptature, Syrian Ngas-at, Della Nganan, with the rebel Peguers, arrived at Rangoon, and putting forth all their strength, they fought agtinst it; Ngas-at also ordered Kuren Ngaphyo, with the Taliens against Thumyudong, Pantanans, and the towns and villages westward, which having destroyed, they arrived at Donabew. The poor people in the towns and villages were not allowed to remain unmolested, and being frightened they fled. When these circumstances reached the most excel lent golden ears; from under the Royal feet an army marched, and also one went by water with arms, am munition, and provisions; the General had upwards of 20,000 infantry- and 2,000 horse. That these ar rived in Rangoon the Englishmen there know, and even saw them. In order to strengthen the friend ship of the two countries, the Landozein Men hlaraja and Ke-woon Nemyo-or-nanda-thoo are sent with a Royal order, and with them all communica tion can be held. _ _ The order of the Woongee Mahe.

The English commander left Rangoon on the 10th day of the wane of the moon Nat-don, in the year 1188. On the 11th, at night, the officers of Gna-sat of Syriam, Gnapo-doo and Gna-moo, and Gua-gnan, of Dalla, with a great number of boats and men, came and attacked Ran goon ; the army placed outside the town sustained the attack, and in the fight the assailants died or ran away; afterwards they went and took Dalla, and Qua-sat himself, with Taliens and Shans, re turned to Rangoon, and burnt all the houses and monasteries, and choulteries around the town, and encircled it, and shut it upThy land and water, and every day and night approached and at tacked it : once on the 12th day of the waxing of the moon Pya the, once on the sth day of the wfining of the moon Pya the, and once on the 7th day of the waxing of the moon Ta-bo-dwai, sallies were made from the town, and in the fight many were killed and many ran away. When the news had arrived at the royal foot-stool, and it had been heard by the royal ear, that the beggarly Ta liens of Mlle, under Qua-sat, had arrived at and attacked Rangoon, an army of 20,000 men, with two thousand horse, was ordered out to catch, and murder, and squeeze the vile and beggarly Taliens, and it has arrived at Rangoon. When a large force was ordered to march to Syriam, the plaee of Gna-sat, he could not remain, but ran away from Syriam by night, and an order was given to take possession of all the villages of Syriam and Della, and search for Gn:z-sat, and catch him, to be de livered up to the King. in same manner as the English Ambassador Crawfurd went and arrived at the Royal footstool, that the countries may enjoy a lasting friendship, so, by the Royal order, the Meng la Yoza, secretary, and the Yewton-Namyoo-Nan dan-thoo, are sent to the residence of the English Governor, and this letter is ordered to be written to give intelligence of the circumstance of their ar rival at Rangoon, on the 15th day of the waxing of the Moon Ta-bo-dwai, 1188." MADRID, AUG. 22.—A wealthy jeweller, who has an elegant house near the Prado, has just received a notice to quit from a notary employed by the Jesuits ; and though the present proprietor has expended a large sum in beautifying and repairing it, yet, as it appears that it formerly belonged to the society, they have thought fit to lay claim to it at the present moment. The jeweller in question, much surprised at receiving such a notice, sought an immediate audience of the King, to relate the grievance. Ile happened to have a large quantity of the Kiag's plate in his workshop, which had been sent to him to clean, and his Majesty, upon hearing the story, dismissed him in the following words :—" I am very sorry that the Jesuits re quire you to give up your house, and I beg you to send me back my plate with all baste ; for if those gentlemen were to lay their hands upon it, it would be much more difficult for me to get it back, than for you to getback your house." HORRIBLE DEPRAVITY.—In our Paper of the 16th ult., we stated that a young man, named Robert Greenslade, had been committed for trial, on a charge of burglary in the house of his grandmother, Mrs. Glanville, at Coombe Park, near this town, and we have now to re cord a circumstance which dreadfully aggravates the of fence, and forms in itself a charge against the unfor tunate young man so revolting that humanity shudders at the thought of it. On Sunday se'nnight a man who had been confined in the same gaol with Greenslade, having obtained his pardon, was about to leave the prison, when there being reason to suspect that he had secreted letters to convey away for prisoners, Mr. Cole, the Go vernor, questioned him, and, upon threat of searching, procured from him a packet, which had been given him by Greenslade. The packet contained letters addressed to the brother of Greenslade, urging him, in strong terms, to put Mrs. Glanville to death by poison, in order to prevent her evi dence at the Assizes, and even stating the precise quantity of corrosive sublimate necessary to effect the horrid pur pose ! The man who was the bearer of the packet was, after examination before the Ma g istrates, committed to take his trial w ith Greenslade for the cons p irac y . Green slade, who wa s formerl y a dru gg ist in Exeter, is the son of a man who was, some years ago, a respeeLble builder in this town, but who has been latterly res idi n g in reduced cir cumstances, in the neighbourhood of Exeter. The young man figs a wife, and two or three children, and was, we are willing to believe, driven by poverty to commit the crime which led him to contemplate one of still greater magnitude and atrocity, but which has been fortunately prevented. Thus, b-.d leads insensibly to worse, and the heart once polluted by crime, easily becomes hardened against the dictates of religion and morality, and insensible to the ties of kindred or the claims of humanity. It may not here be amiss to state, for the information of such as are ignorant on the subject, that even had Greenslade succeeded in his purpose of destroying his grandmother, and in concealing that crime, yet his situation at the Assizes, when brought to trial for the burglary, would have been thereby but rendered worse, for the depositions of the prosecutor, taken before the Magistrates, would have been received in evi dence, and the accused would have lost any benefit to be derived from cross-examination.

A few days ago, a decedtly attired, woman, named Vandaville, who reside, in Palmer's place, Somers-town, underwent two or three examinations before the Magistrates at Worship street police-office, upon a charge arising cut of the following most extraordinary circumstances : It may be recollected that last winter, bur , glaries to a very serious amount were committed in the houses of many respectable pawnbrokers, and that Mr. Woods, of St. John-street, Smith field had been a severe sufferer ; and, notwith standing the utmost vigilance of the police, in their watching the receiving houses, no trace to the prcperty could be had for some time, as the plans which appeared to be adopted and acted upon ty the robbers, were to pawn the property, and not to bring it to a receiving house. At that time, there resided in Drury -court, Strand, two notorious robbers, named Couland and Plumber. A woman, named Harmer, lived with Couland, and Mary Anne Vandaville, a young woman of very diminutive stature, and daughter of the examinate, cohabited with Plum ber. In consequence of some private informa tion, Avis and Clements, two officers at Marl borough-street, took the entire party into cus tody, and brought them before Mr. Conant, and although a great part of the duplicates of the property robbed were found upon them, yet to make the case complete, the ends of justice re quired an auxiliary in one of the party, and Mary Anne Vandaville, from her apparent youth, innocent appearance, and mildness of expression, was selected, as the less criminal of the party, and the more likely to reform. The others were committed to Newgate, and two Sessions ago they were tried and found guilty. Upon the trial she necessarily attended as a witness, when upwards of 400/. worth of the property was pro. duced, identified, and given up. Coolant' was executed. Plumber was transported for life, and the woman (Harmer) for fourteen years. It is said the police-officers, after examining the houses which had been robbed, and observing so little violence used, and contrasting such appearances with the diminutive stature of Vandaville,- concluded that she , must have by some means or other either concealed herself in the shop, or went down the chimney. Be it as it may, after the trial, some moral and religious ladies, who feel a " luxury in doing good , " wished to impress upon her mind the necessity of a reform in her habits of life, to which effect they proposed to obtain her an admission into a penitentiary asylum ; but a moral and secluded life was not what she admired, and was therefore deaf to their entreaties, and obdurate to their admonitions. In a little time after, a char woman, named Fairman, recommended her to the service of Mr. Robinson, a butcher, in Brick-lane, St. Luke's. It appeared Mrs. Ro binson had a child about 18 in friths old, and was far advanced in pregnancy. She also had 17 sovereigns in a cupboard in her bed-room, of which circumstance Vandaville obtained a know ledge, and on the first Saturday she had been in her new situation, the child becoming uneasy, Mrs. Robinson desired her to take it out for a walk. She took the c hild, an d a l so con trived to lay her hands o n th e seventeen sovereigns.Hospitashe had the w artfulness On aybyl St. Lulcer's...neas to pe suade a street fruiterers to take care of the child for a few minutes while she should be going a message ; she then went to the coach stand at the City-road, and took a coach, since which she has not been heard of. In the mean time the child becoming more uneasy, and the poor woman not knowing to whom it belon ged, had no other alternative but to leave it in Clerkenwell workhouse. About the time she was expected back with the child, and no tiding of her could be obtained, the grief and agony of Mr. and Mrs. Robinson may be more easily conceived than described. The whole of the evening and night were spent in making enqui. ries ; and in the bitterness of their anguish, thr i y never thought of the money. The followi ng morning the child was restored to its afflicted parents, who, after being a little composed, dis covered the loss of the sovereigns, information having been given to Vann at Worship-street office, he shortly ferreted out the coachman, wbo informed him that a female answering the de scription, on the day stated, engaged him for 13s. to drive her to Palmer's-place, Somers-town, and from thence to two or three pawnbrokers in the Strand, where he left her. Vann went to Pal mer's-place, and found her mother, whom he took into custody, and after undergoing two or three examinations before the magistrates at Worship -street, where she solemnly protested her ignorance. of the conduct of her daughter, and there being no evidence to connect them, she was discharged. On Monday, the 3d instant, an inquisition was held before Mr. Thomas Mander, CoroneT for the Hundred of High Peak, on view of th e body of James M‘Own, an Irishman, wh o b a d been employed in the formation of the Cromford. t and High Peak Rail-road.
