The Duke of York arrived at Audley House yesterday even ing, from Cheveley Hall, Cambridgeshire, where his Royal Highness has been staying on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Rutland. Prince Leopold has also been staying on a visit to their Graces for some days past, at Cheveley The Duke of Cumberland, after paying his visit to his sister, the Princess of Hesse Homburg, at her Palace, near Frankfort, will proceed to Berlin, to join his Royal Duchess. The Duke of Hamilton, with a liberality worthy of a British Nobleman, has forwarded his valuable library of scarce books to Ashton, a seat belonging to him about two miles from Lan caster, with a permission, conveyed with great delicacy, to Dr. Lingard, who resides in that neighbourhood, to avail himself of its contents in any manner that might assist his researches in the progress of the great historical work in which he is engaged. _ _ The • Bev. Holwell Carr, of Devonshire-place, one of the finest connoisseurs and most liberal petron of the Arts in Eng land, has, we understand, given his collection of valuable pic tures to the country. They are not numerous, but are all of the highest class, and cost Mr. Carr upwards of 25,0001. Dispatches, dated the 25th of July, have been received by Government, from Capt. FRANKLIN. at Fort Chepewy an. The Expeditio❑ entertained the hope of reaching Bear Lake before the frost set in. They were all in good health and spirits. We have received the - Calcutta Gover n ment Gazette of the 23d of June, and the Bombay Gazelle of the 6th of July. The latter contains a paragraph, stating that the division of the British army in Arracan, under the command of General MORRISON, was suffering very severely, according to the latest accounts, from sickness. One of the regiments, it is added, had been re duced by sickness and death from 1,200 strong to 350, while most of those not in the hospitals had miserably fallen off in bodily strength and appearance. The 49th Regiment was said to have only two companies of effective men. The Calcutta Paper contains no further news from the seat of war. We have received a file of the Argos from Buenos-Ayres to the 7th September. An assem bly of the House of Representatives of the eastern p ovince of the Rio de la Plata, usually called the Banda Oriental, took place in the city of Florida on the 26th of August, when a solemn declaration was made of the inde pendence of that part of South America. The principal clause in this document is expres sed in energetic language ; it declares to be " void, dissolved, and of no value for ever, all the act• of incorporation, acknowledgment, and oaths of allegiance, wrung from the people of the Banda Oriental by the force, combined with treachery,of the usurping states of Portugal and Brazil, who have tyrannized over it and seized on its inalienable rights, and brought it under the yoke of an absolute despotism from the year 1817 to the present time." No events of moment had occurred relative to the contest in Monte-Video, but some slight advantages in skirmishing had been gained over the Imperialists, and the cause of Independence seems to be gaining stability. LISBON, OCT. MAJESTY having honoured with his approbation a plan laid before him by Sir JOHN MILI.EY DOYLE, for making a new road from Villa nova da Rainha to Caldas and Obidos, which is to be managed by a com pany. A Committee was appointed by the Share holders to draw up a table of the tolls, which they should judge necessary to afford a sufficient remuneration for the trouble and expence. This has been laid before his Majesty and approved. It is calculated that the Shareholders will receive ten and a quarter per Cent., after paying all the expences. Letters from the Frontiers of Russia, of the 14th October, speak of the precipitate depar ture of the General of Cavalry Count WITTGEN STEIN for Pulcya, where the head-quarters of the second corps of the army is established. This has caused great sensation, and has given a report of war. The news from Greece does not bring any new positive facts. IBRAHIM PAcnA traverses the Morea at his pleasure, which he owes to the genius of the French Officers, who art' good en gineers as well as true Mussulrnen. They have given to the Egyptians a plan for the construction of a new Mosque, which they have caused to be built of wood, at Tripolizza, instead of that which the Christian insurgents demolished at the commencement of the war. The private letters from St. Petersburgh state, that the Emperor ALEXANDER will return to Pe tersburgh about the middle of November, his presence being necessary on some important di plomatic concerns. His MAJESTY, for the pre sent, will not inspect the cantonments of the Dnie per and that of Bessarabia, but leave it to some future period, when he will proceed to his Souther❑ States. We present the account of a Catholic Meeting which was held yesterday at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. It appears that body are active in distributing tracts in suppor of their faith ; in truth, we have met with such. But could not they offer a pretty little relic of some kind or other, of which the religion of our forefathers had such abundance, ong with the tracts ?—a nail out of the real cross, a thorn out of the crown ? Or even a crucifix would be a handy thing ; or a little image, like a tobacco-stopper, of the Goddess whom they worship, the Queen of Heaven, with the bambino in her arms; which ob jects of idolatry are in all their churches where there are no Pro testants to turn them deserved ridicule. Above all, why can not they compass a miracle or two ? The religion of our fore fathers could work you a miracle every day : and Popery, they tell us, never alters. Miracles, also, are, incessantly performed at Rome, to convince the faithful, who have no need to be con vinced. \Ve treat this subject with mockery, because we think it the best way of putting an end to the foolish stir which the Papists are making in support of the religion of our forefathers; for we verily believe, if they proceed, they will stand a fair chance of having some of the penal statutes against them re vived, instead of procuring emancipation.—( Tinics.) THE THEATRES. DittlitY-LANE.—VANounGu's humorous but coarse Comedy of The Confederacy was repeated last night. We have nothing to add to our pre vious account of the revival of this Comedy, which, however well it may appear in represent ation, cannot be reconciled to the general im provement of dramatic taste. DowroN's Mo neytrap is very entertaining, and WILLTAms's Gripe is natural. It has been too severely treated by the public Critics. The same may be said of PENLEy's Dick, which is very well calculated to pass muster, and certainly does not lessen the general interest of the Comedy. HAItLEY'S Brass was very effective, and lost nothing by his active loco-motion. Mrs. DAVISON displays true comic spirit and judgment in Flippanta, and Mrs. YATES and Miss I. PATON gave easy gaiety to the two City coquettes, Arantinta and Clarissa. COVENT•GARDEN.—this Theatre has gained a very sprightly addition in the engagement of Ma dame VusTitts, who made her second appearance on its boards last night, in the character of Cap tain Macheath. That she supported it with cha racteristic spirit must be admitted, but it is to be regretted that a part was not selected more suit able to her talents and her sex. There can be no delusion in such a performance, as it is im possible to suppose that such a Dandy looking hero should be invested with the command of a band of ruffians. Besides, it is revolting to pub lic taste and feeling to see women in the male attire, except the nature of the drama should re vire a temporary transformation. She was re ceived with great applause. Miss PArrotsT, in acting as well as singing, was all that could be desired in Polly, and B tItTLEY and BLANCHARD were sufficiently diverting in Locket and Peachum. Mr. MAZURIER'S Jocko appears to be very attractive. The House was full ; and CON'4O it'S Irish Tutor, as usual, afforded much pleasure by his ludicrous blunders and presuming ignorance. THEATRICAL t appears that the good old custom, of not admitting Half-price till the end of the third act was recently recurred to, and the audience were gratified in being exempted from the interruption of the play, aris ing from Half-price admission at nine o'clock. The latter offensive regulation has been resumed, and the reason assigned is that those who waited for Half-price entrance grew noisy and clamorous for admission. So that, to remove the impatience of a small body without, compared with the great majority of the audience within, the latter are to be disturbed in the most interesting scenes of the third act by a turbulent crowd, who excite a restless confusion that generally prevails, in some degree, 'till the performances close for the night. Mr. T. WErAir, and his fair pupil, Miss WILSON, arrived in town last Friday, after a long residence in Italy. The Lady excited high admiration by her talents in that region of music, and respect and esteem, by her good sense and unaffected manners. We understand that the Managers at Old Drury consider reality preferable to imitation ; and in place of iiiock - qUadruPeds intend to intro duce real ones at the ensuing festival of Christ. mas. By this literary measere, the little Masters and misses, together - With the overgrown babies, will, it is expected, add to the ways and means of the season, and receive a titillating gratifica tion not to he produced by the legitimate drama. Still Mr. WALLACK labours incessantly, and merits our esteem : he cannot do every thing, but he does all he can. At Covent-garden they sent to France for a man to imitate a Monkey ; at the Olympic they have imported a monkey-maker from Germany ; and Monsieur Gonree, who has for the last half-year carried the Surrey upon his back, is a Portuguese. What a charming impor ' tation ! The folks at the Adelphi have imita tions of Bucephalus•in Twigs, to which they have added, " by particular desire," a Long Ear'd Philosopher, with lots of imitations too tedious to insert in this paragraph. The Haymarkes and the Coburg are the only boards that produce novelty, pay liberally for it, and find a profitable return for the support of native genius. Paul PIT, and others at the former house, the Bear Hunter's Mysterious Stranger, &c., at the latter are proofs that talent is shut out of the first stalls in the market, by a description of Plagiarists and Compilers, who creep on all-fours into the Ma nager's Coteries. These creatures, directly or indirectly, damn or mutilate those pieces submitted to their critical ignorance, and seem determined to shut out all nonsense but their own, and thereby exclude classical talent and native erudition from our Theatres, while clap -trap, pun, and doggrel become the substitutes for refined taste, and the school of SHAKSPEAUE. Gentlemen of high spirit and lite rary acquirements will not dance attendance on the monarchs of shreds and patches, who hug themseivesin theirown self-opinionated importance, and permit the rhodornoutade of their satellites to cost more in limit, gingerliread, andfoil, than half a dozen fine Comedies, and as many Farces. They imitate the frivolities of the French, and the barbarities of the German School, while they neglect that of SHAKSPEARE,SHERIDAN, MURPHY, &c. We some time sitice purchased sixty French Plays and Farces ,at a, book-Stall, not one of which that had, not, appeared on the English boards under othdi names and local adaptations. S O much for Managers' liberality. Have we not as clever men and authors 'as- the French ? We answer in the - aftirmaliKe.. Then why is not that talent encouraged ? We repeat, from the causes already stated. Native talent demands the repro bation of this system, for it has no chance when opposed to the stimulating spectacles of ghosts and hobgoblins, blue, 'black, and red devils, and the exhibitions of the art of sinking, arrived at such that we scarcely know wh et h er a mo u S rfe ye co r ti a n t 7 nan is before us. We are happy to perceive that the subscrip tion for Mrs. BELZONI proceeds liberally. Th e amount of the -contributions is already more than 4001. POETRY. THE DIFFERENCE.—AN EPIGRAM. A Priest, who awhile at the altar had tarried, Awaiting a couple proclaimed to be married; Disgusted and teased by the lengthen'd delay, Till his last drop of patience was oozing away. Thus exclaim'd in a passion—" 0 had I the power To unmarry again, folks would keep to their hour." ANECDOTES, &c. GILBERT, Archbishop of YORK, when Bishop of Salisbury, had some dispute with the Mayor of that town about their respective jurisdictions ; when the mace overcame the crosier. The As sizes were held there soon after, and the Judge was asked whether he would choose to have any particular dish dressed for him.—" No," replied his Lordship ; " but as the Bishop is to dine with me, if there is soup, do not put any mace in it, for the Prelate does not love mace." Dr. ARBUTIINOT first began his practice at Dorchester, a situation where the air is salubri ous, and the environs beautiful ; but he stayed no length of time there. A neighbour met him galloping to London, and asked him why he went thither ? "To leave your confounded place, where I can neither live nor die." ATuENs.—Nothing can be more wretchedly supplied than ATHENS with the most common articles of use and convenience. No such thing as a cart, a ladder, or the materials and imple ments for making them are known ; nor is it possible to procure the most ordinary domestic utensils, or a single article of cutlery. CIIEBILLON.—Some one asked the tragic poet C [MEI LEON, one day, which of his works he con sidered the best. " I scarcely know," replied the Poet," which is my best work ; but I am certain," pointing to his ion, who had began (0 publish some of his licentious tales, " that this is by far my worst." We are sorry to learn that Lord HARRINGTON is so unwell at his house in the Stable-yard as to be denied to all visitors. Letters from Port-au-Prince were received yesterday, dated the 17th of September. They state that two Commissioners bad been named by the President Boyer to proceed to England, for the purpose of negociating here a loan, for the payment of the French claims. From this it would appear, either that the Commissioners sent to France had not been invested with full powers for that purpose, or that doubts were entertain ed of the practicability of raising the money in that country. These letters further state, that the reduction of duty on goods exported in French vessels was not to take place so early as had been at first announced. This state of inde cision on the part of BOYER had led some of the English merchants to the conclusion, that his at tachment to his new friends, which had been so strong during the proceedings for the recognition of independence, had begun to suffer some abate ment. ithRIMOCIII.-By the Lydia, which arrived at Liverpool o❑ - Wednesday, accounts have been received from this unfortunate settlement to the 21st ult. The greatest misery and distress, as might be expected, prevailed among the miser able people who had escaped with only their lives from the dreadful calamity of the 7th Octo ber. They continued to arrive from the more distant districts which had been ravaged by the awful conflagration which laid waste the country. The inhabitants of IVliramichi had, much to their credit, raised a subscription, and the wretched people had received every succour which the hand of pity could bestow. Exertions were using to send off the sufferers to Halifax and other British settlements. Many of them had embarked on board the ships bound to England : fourteen arrived at Liverpool in the Lydia.— With respect to the number of lives lost by this awful visitation of Providence, we still have merely vague estimates, and it is probable that we shall never ascertain the ' exact amount. The number was estimated on the 20th of October, 13 days after the cala mity, at between 200 and 300 souls. Some lum bering parties had come in from the interior ; but it was feared that many others had perished, and of whose fate we shall never receive any intelligence. We cherish the hope, how ever, that the loss of human life in this dread ful conflagration will be found not to have been near so great as the fears of the settlers have made it. An eye-witness describes the scene as having been the most terrific he ever beheld. The masses of fire, borne on the wings of the wind, were very large. So intense was the heat that the fire communicated from the north side of Mira michi river (which is about 1,000 feet across, and wooded down to the water's edge), to the trees on the opposite bank, involving the forest in one terrible conflagration, and spread ing death and desolation far and wide. This further account of one of the greatest calamities that has occurred for a long period, arrives at the moment for producing a proper impression in favour of the sufferers. SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE AND NAPOLEON.-A letter from Paris says, that Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE, who is at present engaged in painting the portrait of his Majesty CHARLES X. has lately paid a visit, accompanied by several distinguished persons, and the most celebrated anatomical dale:, to Dr. AU•Tosrmtettl. The principal object of this visit was to see the precious mask cast at St. Helena, by the Doctor himself, after the death of the Emperor NAPOLEON. The celebrated English Painter, after having attentively ex amined it for about an hour and a half, and having expressed his admiration at the beauty of the forms and the regularity of the features, frequently repeated that all the portraits of this great man that he has hitherto seen, arc far from approaching the model. _ _ _ We noticed on Wednesday the honours that had been paid to Mr. MoNTGo:tiEity, of Sheffield, by the chief people of that town and of the county. We ought also to notice the liberal conduct of the Editor of The Sheffield Mercury, who was one of the most zealous friends of Mr. MONT GOMERY, and opened his columns to give an ample account of the honours paid to his competitor in the literary vineyard, and appeared to feel pe culiar pleasure in manifesting his respect and esteem for Mr. MONTGOMERY, however they might differ in political opinions. What a laud. able example does this conduct hold forth to the contending Editors of the Metropolitan Journals ME CANTILE SHIPPING. DEAL, Nov.—Wind S.S.W.—Last night the wind was well to the eastward, but this morning and throughout the day, it has been southerly. Passed through yesterday from the River the Tulloch Castle, Pearce; Sarah Christina, Fisher; Ann, Foreman, and the Eliza, Johnson, for Jamaica. The Swgar, Pawel, has put into Ramsgate with loss of anchor and cable. Remain the Ruth, Hone, and Redman, Bryce ; the rest of the outward-bound have sailed. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 10.—Wind N.E. to E.N.E.—It blew a heavy gale all day from N.E. to E.N.E., the outward-bound could not in consequence get their anchors, except the Salacia, Hearn, for Jamaica; Betsey and Sophia, Garraway, for Domi nica, and two others, all the rest appear to ride in safety. Ar rived his Majesty's ship Rainbow, from Chatham for the Cape of Good Hope and India ; half-past 7p. m. very squally, with a heavy rain. FALMOUTH, Nov. 9.—Wind S.W.—Arrived the Magnet packet from Lisbon, sailed the 30th ult. ; on the 27th, his Ma jesty's brig Camelion arrived with a mail front Falmouth, and on the 28th Sir William A'Court received the dispatches taken out of the Dov cket at sea by the schooner Eliza.

The Charles, Stoddart, from Newhaven to Sunderland, was driven on shore, near the Texel, the 3d inst. ; crew saved. The Union, Swatridge, Effort, Pitt, two schooners, and tire small vessels, are on shore near Weymouth. The Thisbe, Creed, from Newcastle to Jamaica, has put into Harwich with loss of anchors and cables, having been on the Whiting Sand. The wind at Deal yesterday was southerly, and moderate at Gravesend, and Portsmouth blowing a gale at N.B. The ship Wellington, —, (Robert Belt, Esq. of New castle. owner), arrived in Shields harbour, f rom Q ue b ec , on the Pit h inst., after a severe passage of six weeks. The Launch of the first vessel ever built at Carlisle, took place on Monday week, at one o'clock in the afternoon, near the Canal Basin. A great number of spectators were present, and about 40 persons were on her deck when she slid off the stocks very beautifully, amid loud cheering—Dr. Blainlre, in the usual way, baptising her " The City," by dashing a bottle of wine against her bows.

The match, or rather a steeple chace, between Mr. Ramsey, on his famous hunter Zealiot, and Captain Ferguson, on Felix, took place yesterday . for one hundred sovereigns. Ile ground was from the Chicken Farm, a mile and a half from Chobbam, to the lane leading to Watfield, to the north-west corner of Windsor Forest. The equestrians started at seven o'clock in the morning, during a tremendous hurricane of wind and rain, and they crossed the western road together, and each had some tbrmidable leaps to make, to get the best positions on the Fo rest. In the flat running west of the Dog Kennel, the horses could only make a walk of it, and at times had difficulty to make a move. Mr. Ramsay gallopped two miles ruund, while Captain Ferguson kept the straight direction over very bad ground, and he lost the match. It is not more than six miles ; and the winner was more than half an hour doing it, which, on good ground, he could have performed in half the time. Capt. Hind, of sporting celebrity, was the umpire. The parties re. tired to Salthill to dinner. LONDON MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 11. The arrivals of all sorts of Grain this week are moderate, chiefly owing to contrary winds.

A GHOST !—Considerable alarm has been ex cited among the credulous in the vicinity of Pipe, in this county, by the reported appearance of one of those unearthly visitors 'yclept a ghost, which some assert comes in the enticing garb of " a fair lady in white," veiled and adorned as a bride, but sometimes her shoulders are decorated with a pig's head, instead of the " human face divine ;" other reports give still stranger shapes to the disquiet spirit. The favourite resort of the visitant is near the yew and ash, on the high road between Holmer and Pipe Church, where it was lately most positively seen in the shape of a donkey. It is probable some mis chievous wag has been playing his pranks to create all this nonsensical apprehension, and we hope measures will be adopted to discover and punish him for his folly.—(llereford Journal.)
