This day was published, in tivo. price Ils. in boards, with • - a Supplement, LAN ACCOUNT of the PUBLIC FUNDS, and of the STOCKS cf some of the principal PUBLIC COMPANIES in LONDON, Carefully revised and corrected, with numerous Additions and Improvements. By BERNARD COHEN, Author of the " Compendium of Finance. of all Nations." This Work, with the Supplement, contains the fullest account yet published of the different Government Secu rities of Great Britain ; a history of the! National Debt, Sinking Fund, Bank of England, East India and South Sea Companies, &c. to the sth of April, 1827 ; also state ments of the various fluctuations and average price of the Funds from the year 1760, to the present day, with a brief notice of the measures resorted to, in order to counteract the effect of the late financial distress.

Just Published—in quarto. 110RARY TABLES, for finding the Time by Inspection, to facilitate the operations for obtain ing the Longitude at Sea by Chronometers and Lunar Ob servations ; also for finding both the Latitude and Time, by noting the exact interval by a good watch or chronometer, between two observed Altitudes of the Son, or a fixed Star ; or by the simultaneous observations of the Altitudes of any two celestial objects. To which is added, by way of Appendix, an easy method of Clearing the Observed Distance of the effects of Refraction and Parallax, wi,h new Tables for the purpose, computed according to Mr. Lyon's Theory, and with Dr. Thomas Young's Refractions. By THOMAS LYNN, Late Commander in the Sea-service of the East India Company, and Examiner (appointed by the Honourable Court of Directors,) of the Officers of that service.— Author of " The Improved System of Telegraphic Com munication."—" Star Tables."—Nautical and Astronomi cal Tables."—" Supplementary Tables of the Moon's Place, for every three hours, in right -ascension and declination, &c." to be printed annually for two years iu advance. Ste reotyped and printed for the Author. Sold by himself, at 148, Leadenliall-street ; by Messrs. Parbury and Allen, and by all other Booksellers. Price 21. 2s. bds. The plan of these tables is in itself simple and obvious. The degrees of Latitude from the Equator to GO North and South, occupy a prominent situation at the head of each p ag e. The degrees of declination, from oto 24, run from left to right, on the top and bottom of the columns, and the Altitudes increase as they descend in the marginal column. The Horary Angles, standing opposite to 0, or Zero, in the Altitude column, show the apparent time to the nearest second that the Sun's centre is in the true or rational horizon ; or the time of his Rising and Setting ; or the semidiurnal arcs of any Celestial objects. Opposite to the true Altitudes (to the number of sixty in each page), and under and over the degrees of Declination, are the cor responding Horary Angles, or Apparent Times from Noon, computed to the nearest second. When the Meridian Al titude falls short of GO degrees, the pages are kept full by the introduction of smaller portions of Altitudes, chiefly of 10 minutes each ; which enhances the value of the Tables, inasmuch as more frequent opportunities are afforded, to obtain the time with the least possible trouble ; and that, in general, when best adapted to the times and circum stances when observations for Time are most desirable. The Horary Tables thus computed (exclusively of 58 pages of subsidiary Tables, and 48 of prefatory matter and in structions) contain 23! pages, each page consisting of 13 columns, and each column of 61 Horary Angles, making a sum of not less than 191 thousand results, or computed numbers. The most scrupulous attention has been paid to the accuracy of the numbers. The computations were conducted by two able persons, separated from each other, and working by different methods, entirely independent of any former work of the kind. The operations were verified by comparison —before the pages went to press, they were twice read, and the differences afterwards taken to insure still greater accuracy, and the beautiful agreement of the results, Lear ample testimony to the care and skill of the Operators. The main original object of these Tables, was to find the Apparent Time from an Altitude of the Sun, or other Ce lestial object, in a known Latitude, and for which purpose they will be found extremely simple. But this convenience may be considered in a secondary point of view, in com parison of their utility in obtaining both Latitude and Time, independently of the Latitude by Account, at any hour of the day, after the Sun is 5 degrees high, or at any hour of the night, when the horizon is sufficiently defined to take the altitudes of the Stars. The method will be best shown by the following Example :--Admit a ship to be entering the British Channel, on a day when the Sun's declination is 20 deg. South. and in the morning at S h. 0 in. 1-0 sec. by a good watch or chronometer, let the Sun's true alti tude be 5 degrees—and again at Sh. 42 in., 36 sec., 1,3, the same watch, let the Sun's true altitude be 10 degrees. —Required the Latitude and Apparent Time at the last observation? N.B. in this Example the ship is supposed to be stationary. If otherwise, the first altitude must be corrected for the change of station, as in the common method of double altitudes. OPEILLTION. S.

REMARrs.—I. The results both of latitude and time, br the above process and correct data, will always be close approximations to truth, and sufficiently so for nautical purposes—if great accuracy be required, it is only to as sume another latitude, nearer to the latitude last found, and compute the interval, until there be no difference be tween the observed and the computed intervals, which re quiring no new problem to solve, show , the utility and ,beauty of this approximate method —for which, and for others equally valuable, the reader is referred to the Work itself. _ _ are take n ou t a t Q.

FALKIRK ALE VAULTS, 8, CROSS-STREET, FINSBURY-SQUARE, AITKEN and Co. beg to acquaint the Pub lic, that they have taken extensive CELLARS, at 3, Cross-street, Finsbury-square, for the exclusive SALE of ALE, brewed by themselves at Falkirk. Aitken and Co. have been induced to make this endea vour to introduce their Ale into London, from the encou ragement they have experienced in Scotland, in the hopes that the measures whirls have rewarded their exertions, where they had to compete with long-established Brewers, and where all the consumers were judges of the article, will be attended with the same results to them here. Being Brewers of the Ale they are now offering to the London Public, they wish to rest their claims to support solely upon its quality. They have devoted particular attention to the bottling department, and, from the thorough know ledge they possess of its management, and from the whole process of brewing and bottling being conducted under their personal superintendance, they with confidence can recommend their Bottled Ale to private Families, as a nourishing, agreeable, and economical beverage. A reference to the prices quoted below will show that Aitken and Co. are offering their Ales much under what is generally charged for the best Scotch Ale, and they solicit a trial as the test whether their's merit hat appel lation. Price Is., Bs. 6d., awl 9s. 6d. per dozen, for ready money ; empty bottled must be returned when the Ale is delivered, or paid for at the rate of 3s. par dozen. A discount of 6d. per dozen will be allowed to those who send and take the Ale from the premises. Aitken and Co. brew Ale for Exportation, which is pe culiarly adapted for hot climates. From the extensive Stock which they will always have, dealers will be sup plied on advantageous terms. WALLACE. SCENES FROM AN UNPUBLISHED TRAGEDY. (Lightning and deep thunder.—A dead pause.) WALLACE. Our prayer is ratified !—My countrymen ! Shall we be slaves, while ocean, earth and air Teem with unfettered being ?—Look around,... — And nature's works call out to man—Be free ! And shall creation's voice be heard in vain, While God himself is present in the storm To aid our cause ?—Behold, through nature's range, Each se,'eral passion hath a J1:flow brother, And kindred feeling. Love begets esteem, — Joy, glathiess—and the throb of hope, desire ; The tear of sorrow draws the sigh of pity, And stern oppression quickens dread revenge. Tread but the worm, it turns : the dog it bites, Prick the proud horse, he kicks ; the bull pursues. All true to nature with instinctive impulse— All, all but man the rebel ! He alone Moves on the earth its glory and its shame I Look at the slave—the image of his God, Crouch in the dust before his brother man— Degraded and degrading !—lashed with scorn For mere excess of dastardly obedience, And tame endurance ;—wearing out his chain, Or sinking with it—buried where he falls— To rise, at last, with Thraldom's curse upon him, And stand before his God ! It must not be. The people's murmur shall he heard and felt. Man was not made to worship tyranny; And shall he die its votary? To arms ! And shame the sons of Scotland to be free. SCENE.—AN ABSENT LOVER. ELIZA.. Floremma, come! Why do you linger there? You cannot see him now. FtowestscA. Yet could I linger Musing upon his parting look for ever. I felt sect rapture gazing on the spot Where last he stood—and on the way be went, Till the hill snatch'd hiM from my view, that tears Of anguisled tenderness suffused my eyes, And filled my heart, t'll utterance was chok'd In sighing him a hinging, fond, Adieu! That wish'd him back again. ELIZA. He will return To meet us at the Forth, and cheer your heart. Did Wallace not say so just as he parted? But you are wrapt again ! What dear illusion Charms your fond fancy into Fairyland, Forgetful of our purpose ? Now you muse Like Inspiration lost in ravishment. — What breathless wonder holds you? Speak ! FLOREMMA. I know not. My mind was wandering through infinity ; But holding one dear object still in view Which might not be o'ertaken. Yet my heart Could still pursue—though certainty for ever Denied its fond possession to my hope— So much am I enchanted. ELIZA. Wallace still ! But we shall meet him soon again, Floreimna. FLORF3,I2.IA. He's ne'er so much with me as when he'i absent. When I'm alone, then he indeed is with me, The guest of mind, array'd in fancy's glory! Oh then, I bless him in my soul's enjoyment-- DH upon his lc: k, voice, motion, being, And all the nameless attributes of love, That first enchant, then sway the willing heart ! Sleeping, imagination sees him still As if he stood before me. In his presence I cannot speak : the tumult of my breast Denies me utterance, even on simple matters. But when he speaks, I tremble through my soul, Listening in fond emotion to his voice, Like quivering leaves kissed by the breath of heaven ! ik WALLACE-Are you resolved? Lu NDIE—On prudence; and to spare— WALLA CE—A freeman's life to lose it as a slave LtrI7DIF..--1 will not be a slave. WALLAcz—What can you be, If tyrant-masters lord it o'er your country ? Can you be free to move—or speak your mind, While Edward's jealous sword hangs o'er your bead ? LuNnit—He lords it not so harshly as to thwart Our proper bent, or actions. WALLACE-Lord it harshly ! Why should he lord at all?—There's the curst sting Which mocks forbearance with imbittered scorn. Till " insult and endurance " be our motto ! LUNDIE—We only bear the evil, for a time Of retribution. WALLACE—Now's the time ! With me, The apprehension of reproof cuts mare Than just rebuke. What ! Shall a tyrant thwart Our proper actions in our native land? The thought were slavery enough ! UNDIE-But Wallace, Our band is yet too weak : we start too soon. WALLACE—We cannot start too soon to grasp at freedom, And break our chains upon the oppressor's head. - Freedom's a thing too precious to be thought of, And not enjoyed ! UNDJE-Rut if we start too soon, We miss our aim, provoking greater vengeance Upon our failure. WALLAcE—Think not so, good Lundie, The tyrant's wrath cannot o'ertake the brave, Who fall for freedom. LENDIE—But they, who survive, Will fed his rage the more. WeLtacr:.- 7 And they deserve it ! If any base enough, outlive his freedom, Who said, " I will be free."—You would not choose. To live a supple slave in your own land, Boasting your father's independence—would you ? (Enter Stuart.) B ut *bat says gallant Stuart, now, to battle? S T l;Axt—With all my heart ! But Edward is not come. The distant hills seem moving with a mass Of proud confusion ! And the valleys shake To thundering echoes of impetuous speed. The wind is hushed at times —and straight is heard, The wild coherence of tumultuous shouts, And peals of music, dying . off in sw ee tn e ss. Ano n the breeze resumes its doubtful song, And stops to listen—then takes up the strain, With fainter hope—when bursts the loud acclaim ! An d mountains, waters, woods, in chorus join, The grand enthusiasm of rejoicing throngs ! (To be continued.) CAUTION TO SHOPKEEPEIts.—At the Old Bailey Sessions, on Tuesday, Lord Chief Justice Abbott refused to allow expellees to a prosecutor whose goods had been stolen from his shop door, when they were exposed for sale. The prisoner, who was convicted, was an old infirm man, in 4 state of the utmost destitution . On the p rosecutor's applying to be allowed his expenses, the Lord Chief Justice said, "No ; I shall allow no expe nses in such a case as this. 1 have already refused several similar applications, and I shall continue to refuse them ; for I am determined that the Cou n ty thall not be charged with the expense of protecting the good s of a man who leaves them unprotected."

It was there that he frequently set down domestic facts and recollections of what occurred to himself and those about him. Many of these re marks were written in his closet immediately after an interview with Napoleon, by whom he was fre quently treated on a footing of equality. We com municate a few of these secret thoughts of Talma to a public by whom he was sincerely cherished, and they will recognise in these notes which were not intended to have been published, the superior stamp of the genius they admire. These notes are all written with a pencil, and the pocket-book bears the date of 1818. The Sanhedrin was, according to the Emperor's own account, created the day after seeing the tragedy of Esther. A dramatic performance, in which correctness of costume is not preserved, is calculated to convey to the audience, and particularly to the younger part of it, false notions of history. Voltaire played Cicero in a white domine. To moderate the voice is the surest way to be cor rect and intelligible. I passed ten years of my life in getting rid of my habit ofrantmg. Few people have any idea of the difficulty of this art; it requires more time and trouble to make a great actor than a great painter. Doctor Jenner applied to Napoleon through Cor visart, for the liberty of two Englishmen; the pray er was granted, us was also a similar application of my own for the liberty of an Englishman, although the Minister of Marine had previously told me that the Emperor would not grant a favour of the sort to a brother. When I have played a scene well, I always co over it again behind the scenes. The Emperor said to me one dsy, after seeing me play Nero, " Talma, nous faisons de l'histoire." When he landed in Egypt the Emperor found a cameo which greatly resembled him. The Emperor said to me one day, that if Cor neille were still alive be would make him his Prime Minister. It was I brought black hair into fashion. When Berthier accompanied Louis XVIII. to Ghent, Napoleon said to us, " the Emperor cannot pardon Berthier, but his old friend Buonaparte will forgive him : let him return." I will write down my conversation with Mira beau, and what Robespierr e said to my cure. When I was young, Ducis one day raised my hair, and said, " That is a brow on which I see many crimes written." A nation who have brought about a revolution, require another tragedy.

An American Captain has declared that hal seen in the hands of one of the inhabitants o! island between New Caledonia and Louisiana, ac of St. Louis, and medals, which appeared to to have been a part of La Perouse's shipwreck.. This discovery has been communicated to , mont d'Urville, Commander of his Majesty's vette Astrolabe, who left Toulon on the 25th 1826, on a voyage of discovery, being instruct make every possible endeavour to discover, ani store to their country, the unfortunate survivol the shipwreck that might be found alive. I probable that M. d'Urville is at this momeri those latitudes. The latest information recE From him goes to confirm the account of the rican Captain. Captain Dillon, Commander of the English St. Patrick, when proceeding from Valparai! Pondicherry, cast anchor, on the 13th May, I at Tucopie, to seek after a Prussian sailor / Lascar, that had been left on that inland year 1813. The Lascar had fastened to his on being discovered, a sword of French mar, tore, with an old-fashioned silver guard, whit said he found on the island; and Captain I learnt from the Prussian sailor that when he arrived at Tucopia he sew, in the hands u islanders, sword-scabbards, sabres, copper kf knives and forks—all of French manufacture, which they had received from the inhabita: Malicolo. These latter said, that a great years ago, a large vessel was wrecked on ffie i of Uhanco, and all its crew were murdered— about the same time another vessel was wreck( the island Paiow, where its crew was well rec by the natives—that the crew, after burying much a raft o f the property as they of b could te groundbui lt as themselves from sels, on which the Commander and a part ( crew sailed away, promising those they lef them that they would soon return to seek th. The Prussian declared also that there were at two sailors belongin!, to the ship wrecked th one a gun-smith, and the other a carpenter that it was probable the remainder of the er that ship were dispersed among the islands d Archipelago of the New Hebrides. This intern' acquired by Captain Dillon appeared so pd that the Council of the East India Company al :rocs !him I ship lo to 1826, cotta, determined on sending the Recherche that Archipelago, under the command of this tain, to explore the Island of Malicolo, and fin( the persons shipwrecked there.

Bo :I had 1 been " I have also to give you an account of m: ceedin9.;s with Captain Dillon, whose report yc have had in English journals. I requested 1Y naffe to invite him to dinner, and accordingly the pleasure of meeting him on the 10th of D ber. He recounted to us in detail all that hai published in the English papers ; and said that his opinion, the two vessels wrecked on the island of Malicolo, were no others than those of La Perpuse ; that from all which he had learnt from an 4ndian chief of Tucopia, he was convinced that the lobe and the Boussole were the ships lost in - seas. All the French Captains were at Bon the time, and put several questions to hi the subject. I begged of him to lend me the silver hilt of the sword which he brought: from that island, and to send for the Prussian sailor who had given him the information. On the fol lowing morning he came to breakfast with me, bring ing with him the young Prince of New Zealand and the Prussian sailor. • By the help of a microscope examined the sword guard, which seemed to me, and every one present, in the French style. I could clearly distinguish engraved on the inside, the letters J. F. G.; but the P., which was pointed out to me, I could not recognise. On the upper part was a sword, above which was a crown, but I could not distinguish the fleur-de-lis, nor could any body else recognise such a mark. On the left side of the guard, too, they said there was a P., hut I could not see it, and opinion was divided s.s to its existence. On the right side there was a cypher, but so small that few could distinguish it even Nvith the micro scope. Several Captains observed that the hilt could not belong to an officer of the French Ma rines, it being of silver, which was not the uniform. I very well remember, however, haring seen at Brest, before the Revolution, several old navy Cap tains with swords having silver handles. " Captain Dillon then brought in the Prussian sailer, to whom I put several questions, all of which he answered without hesitation, and conformably to the accounts given in the English Papers. " This sailor had embarked on board of Captain Dillon's ship in 1813, when he visited the islands of Feejec, with which he wished to have some com munication ; he sent him, together with a Lascar; but the Prussian and Last= did not return. Capt. Dillon was obliged to proceed on his voyage , and to leave those two seamen behind him. " When he again approached these islands in 1826, being off Tucopia, several boats belonging to that country came off to him. He recognised amongst the natives the Prussian sailor, who had gone from the island of Feejee to Tucopia, He made him come on board, and had a long con versation with him, which induced him to suspect that La Perouse had been wrecked on that coast. The Lascar, who abo resided at Tucopia, and, as well as the Prussian sailor, had married in that island, where they had several wives and children. came next day on board ; and it was he that assured Captain Dillon, that there were in an island in the vicinity of Tucopia two Europeans, whom he sup posed to be Frenchmen, one of whom was a gun smith—that they were very old, and married in the island—and that they had told him there were many Europeans in the interior of the island. " Captain Dillon resolved upon visiting that island, to ascertain the truth of what the Lascar said, but, owing to calms and want of time, he was com pelled to abandon this project, and continue his voyage to Bengal. " He carried off with him the Prussian sailor, who was very unwilling to go; but he could not lay hold of the La sca r , who effected his esca pe. But he sent one of the natives to the island where the Frenchmen were, to inform them that he should those Life at shortly return to visit them. " I caused a number of questions to be put to the Prussian sailor, all of which tend to confirm that they are French shipwrecked sailors who are on that island ; having assured me that, at his arrival et Tucopia, h e h a d seen many sabres and pikes, which he knew t o b e of French ma nu facture; that the natives sh owe d him silver spoons, which he con verted int o ea r-rings and rings, &c.; that he pre served the s word-blade, which might be of use here after, to show to what nation the objects coming from that island belonged. " He told me that the other island was only twenty-four hours' sail distant from TtlCOpla that - - f . -••-2,• , - .- - 7 ;s• . - . 4": " .' - '',• . . c . = , ,i, :VATS.,!

As it is impossible to put all sorts of questions in a firseinterview, which may lead to all possible elucidations, I have translated into French the questions which I mean to have translated into English, to send them to Mr. Bonaffe, who will send for the PrUssian to his house, when, through the . intervention of Capt a i n Trelo, who speaks English perfectly well, I shall obtain an swers to all my questions. " Captain Dillor informed me that the English Government had determined to cause the se islands to be explored, to ascertain whether there really were any shipwrecked Europeans on that coast, and to collect all the information requisite respecting the events which caused the loss of these vessels. " A corvette belonging to the Company has been appointed to this mission.—(She is at this moment at Rangoon, to take twenty-five lacks on board, but she is daily exp.!eted.) " Capt. Dillon will embark on board of her, boing comtnissioned to visit the aforesaid islands, to go in quest of Europeans, who may be found there.— Doctor Fyfiler will likewise embark on board of this corvette, as an amateur, to examine these islands, and to ascertain whether any commercial intercourse can be formed with them. "Before taking any steps with regard to the English Government, I have this day vrritttn private letter to M. Lushington, the Government Secretary, begging that he would inform me whe ther the Supreme Council at Calcutta has it in con templation to send a ship to explore the islands of Malicolo, where, according to Captain Dillon's re port, several Europeans have been shipwrecked many years ago. If he replies in the affirmative, shall write immediately to the Governor in Council, requesting that M. Chaigneau, a Frenchman, be an , thorised to embark on hoard the said ship, to as3ist Captain Dillon in his search in these islands, presu ming that if there be any Europeans there, they must be Frenchmen, and part of the crew of La Perouse. " I sin induced to believe that the English Govern ment will not fail to participate with us in an inquiry enjoined by humanity. " M. Chaigneau, as I have already told you, seems tome to be a man Calculated fer such an enterprise. He does not speak English, - which, however, he un derstands perfectly, but speaks Spanish, with which Captain - Dillon is also acquainted. The latter is just now engaged in making saleof his cargo, and pro mises to come and see me towards the end of the week, to Chaudernagor, and will bring with him the Prussian sailor. He tells me he is writing out his report to send to the Minister of Marine, toge ther with the sword guard; and that when it is finished, he will send it to me to direct it. I will make a copy of it and send it to you. " As there are some doubts respecting the letters on the guard, I have requested M. Savignac, a hta ogets promised French r several sed painter, residing at Calcutta, to endeavour m p e rin to ts d of o it ;o eit t i h ie i r s in wax o a r i p id itc tim h; t I ha wllfi it l bring succeed e t d o Chaudernagor hal es h e v t er e e a ir prints sults of h struck labour. ckofl and send you one. " Captain Dillon is a Frenchman, born at Marti nique, of the family of the Dillon`. He has been navigating the South Seas for upwards of fifteen rears. He is in very easy circumstances ; and every thing induces the belief that his report has been dic tated by a principle of humanity, uninfluenced by any interested motive. The Prussian sailor has his whole body tattooed. The Prince of New Zealand will return with Captain Dillon, and before going to Malicoli, they will get some natives to serve as interpreters and guides. " According to Capt. Dillon and the English charts, the islands Malicoli are in 12. 15. south lati tude, and 169. east longitude, from Greenwich. " According to a chart of the Great Ocean, pub lished in 1797, and corrected in 1818, 1 find that the islands Malicolo are 16. 40. and 165.30. Captain Dillon observed to me that the Malicolo of the French charts were the islands designated by Cook, but that the English give this name to the islands south east by south of the isle Santa Cruz. Tucopia is in the south, and what they call Malicolo is the island to the west of Alderney. On our chart the islands Feegee are written Fidgi : they are to the south of Santa Cruz. " J.

DREADFUL FIRE AND ACCIDENT. —.Ab out one o'clock yesterday morning the vicinity of Barlow street, St. George's, was thrown into a state of alarm by the dwelling-house of Mr. Hooper Jones, No. 47, in the street, being discovered on fire. The flames appeared ;3 ascend from the lower part of the house, and with great rapidity. The watchman of the street instantly proceeded to arouse the inmates, who appeared at the windows of the second floor in a state of dreadful dismay ; to escape by the lower part was found impossible, but fortunately a trap. door in the roof enabled Mr. Jones, his wife, mother, and c hild, to escape that way over the roofs of the adjoining houses. The flames spread during that interval upward*, and the house was nearly all on fire, when Mr. Jones, immediately circulated through w'no' was in the street, recollected that the servant-maid , who slept in the back -kitchen, had not escaped. rrhig was al"u almost im mediately after the shrieks of the LiaplS`-s female were heard from within; b ut at that moule:dto . save her Was in less Oat" :a . Minute after, the upper the crowd, :, part of h a' o l u d s ' e fell in, and buried beneath its burning embers all in the. direction in which the poor creature was.
