TIIE LATE RIOT AT SUNDERLAND. The following letter from our intelligent Cor respondent at Newcastle-upon-Tyne describes the yet feverish state of things as regards the Seamen of the Port of Sunderland. It is really a most lamentable matter that, after all the mis chief that has taken place on the Wear, there seems to be no likelihood at present of any real approximation between the sailors and their em ployers : NE-WCASTLZ-UPON:-TYNE, AUG. 13. Instead of addressing a most silly letter to the Right Hon. the Hots SECRETARY, it would have been much better if " the Seamen of the Loyal Standard,"as they style themselves, had she‘vn by their subsequent demeanour .that they were sensible of the error of their conduct in arraying themselves against the law of the land, as they unquestionably did, in their tumultuous proceedings, on the evening of the 3d inst.— But, according to their account, there was neither the semblance of riot, nor violence of any sort ; there was nothing in fact, in their estimation, that required the interfe rence of the constituted authorities ! The evidence of the facts; however, is diametrically opposite to their averments ; for never did appearances assume amore threatening aspect than when the military were called.upon to act. Had less energy and promp_ titude been displayed, it is more than probable the loss of htunan life would have been considerably greater. But what is the Situation of the port of Sunderland at present, it will he asked_? ~lsorder restored ? Are the seamen following their usual avo cations ? Far otherwise, indeed, lam constrained to observe is the actual state of things at that place. No impression (of a Wholesome nature at least) seems to have been made upon the deluded men by the late calamitous affray. Agitation , and alarm prevail to a considerable degree. The same mischie vous combination is continued ; andalthough the Union men do,not attempt to stop the ships as they proceed to sea, yet by a regular and extensive system of watching on both sides of the river, those seamen, who are inclined, dare not go on board the ships ; and in most instances the vessels proceed to sea with only the muter and apprentices, and then go to Whitby, and other places, to get hands. It is melancholy to reflect that a body of about 500 seamen are now, through their own obsti nacy,.out of employment, and . their families and themselves -suffering great privations. Nothing can be said in defence of such insane conduct. Good wages can be had, and yet they will not go to work. The following letter of thanks, addressed the Magistracy to Lieut-Colonel Sir Timm/5 ButtooN, of Tyne Hussars, on the dismission of Captain Pemherton'i troop from duty, would seem to chew there is no longer any necessity for so strict a military surveillance at Sunderland. It will be well if it end so. "Szidrriand, 9th Angust,*lB2s. Stn—We, the Magistrates aeting for this Division of the County of Durham,-finding the tranquillity of this port suffi ciently restored to authorize us to dismiss the troop of Yeo manry Cavalry, which has been for some days assembled here, under the command of Captain Pemberton beg that you will desire the Officers, non.coninaissioned ofecers, and soldiers composing the troop, will accept our best thanks for the ala crity with which they assembled, and for 'their orderly and soldier-like conduct during the period of their duty here.

Sir Thomas Bunion, com manding the Tyne Yeomanry Hussars, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It-is only -justice to this ilighlp:Aisciplined corps to .state, that, upon numerous occasions in this district, when it has been deemed expedient to call in the aid of the Military in support of the Civil Power, the steady and firm conduct of the T7ne Yeomanry, combined with their alacrity in coming forward for the public service,• have, as • •o,(ten as they have been out on duty, drawn down -.upon them the most flattering testimonials of ap fprtabation on the part-of the. acting authorities. FRENCH PAPERS. " CADIZ, JULY 26. " (Patv ATE CORRESPONDENCE.)—The Etta frigate sr ' rived yesterday from Manilla, brings dispatches from the 'Government of the Philippines. Nothing has transpired, and therefore it is apprehended that their' contents are not satis factory. " The day before yesterday there was a bull:-fight , at Port St. Mary's, but justas it was beginning, a fire broke out at the four corners of the amphitheatre with such fury that many parsons perished, and others ran oat with their clothes in Barnes. The incendiaries are not yet known. " The armed bands which have appeared in many parts of • 'Andalusia begin to .approach Cadiz. One of these bands sopped, the day before yesterday, near Heres, the courier coming to Cadiz, and took from him the Government dis --patches, but did not middle witlithe private letters, or hurt the courier. 4 k The letters which we receive from Algesiras state, that from . the 18th to the 22d of this month alone, half the regi ment ' Princeisa,' which is in g-artison in that town, deserted. This desertion, says the letters„ . .comes from the state of mi sery and privation of-the soldiers, who resemble beggars rather than military serving the'state. The Colombian corsairs have - vanished from before the port of Cadiz: for these ten days, we - have seen only: one,' which did but just show itself, and put ,to sea again. It carried 18 guns, like all the others that have arriied, off this port." ( From the Etoile, dated Monday, Angust 14.) PARIS, AUG. 13. " A change in two words in an article of the Etoile yester ,.day, has entirely impaired the meaning of a paragraph. '• The thirty millions revenue of which we, spoke, are the . actual revenue of the colony, and not of the ancient colonists."

It appears by official dispatches received from Lima, that the Congress of Peru had adjourned, leaving Bo c.rvAn in possession of full powers to act in the manner most likely to -consolidate the independence 'of' the :country.

Among them was the individual standard with which Przaitho, 300 years before, 'had entered the capi tal of the Incas. Intelligence of the formation in England or a Colombian Agricultural Association had arrived at .Bogota, previous to which a decree had passed the Congress for the ap plicatioh of one million of doilars out of the last loan, for the improvement and encouragement of agriculture throughout the republic.

" The Chmnber of Representatives, in the meeting of this night, taking into consideration the representation of Messrs.

" (Signed) 44 .111arruEr. MARIA QUIJANO, " President of the Chamber of Representatives." Among the official documents published'l)7 die ColonabianGazette, there is a letter from the Governor of CU raqoa to the Foreign Secretary of the Colombian Republic, announc ing the return to that island of Colonel de QUARTEL from his mission to Bogota. The Governor states that he had informed the Government of the Netherlands of the result of Colonel de QUARTEIN negotiations, and that he hopes soon to have the satisfaction of communicating-the definitive determination of his Sovereign to enter into negotiations with Colombia. The laws passed-by-the Colombian Congress, and published-in the official journal, relate chiefly to local improvements, and a considerable number have for their object the encouragement of education. Some disorders have occurred in the province of Pasto, in the interior—a province which was some time ago in a state of revolt. After the reduction of the province, some of the insur gents fled to inaccessible points, and Agave since harassed the neighbouring country by their derredutions. It appears, how ever, that the local authorities are possessed of sufficient means for -the suppression of the banditti, and on that account the Executive Power has recalled a decree by which the province was placed under nwtial law. PUBLIC. MEETING AT CROYDON. SURREY SOCIETY FOR THE EMPLOYMENT AND REFORMATION OF DISCHARGED PRISONERS. .Yesterday a Meeting was - held at the Town Hall, Croydon, to consider of the best means of contributin g to the funds of the Society for the Relief of Discharged Prisoners. The Rev. Mr: Locxwoon, Rector of Croydon, was called to the Chair,. and explained the purpose for which th e Meeting -was called, which was to assist. in raising fends for a Society to provide Employment for Prisoners discharged from the Prisons of Surrey. Such a Society, it was hoped, would make less pu nishment necessary, and would tend to amend the morals of those who were liberated from prison. The Rev. Mr. COURTNEY said, that Mr. Denison, the Member for Surrey, had sent him a letter expressing his regret , that he could not attend. He had, however, sent his subscrip tion, and was sorry that he was not able by the regulations of the Society to add more. The Society which had been formed for Surrey was intended, after the example of the Society ter the Refuge Of the Destitute, to promote the reformation and provide employment for penitent criminals. The Society had probably been indebted for its origin to the Reverend Mr. Butt, who was the Chaplain to the Brixton House of Correction. - He had there seen the prisoners reformed by the discipline, of the prison, and seen them when discharged, from wanting both employment and character, to lapse into crime ; he had, therefore, suggested that a Society should be formed to provide -such people a temporary asylum ; it was to be perfectly voluntary for all such persons to enter it or not. There was to be no constraint, and there was a great 'hope that all persons who entered the Asylum voluntarily might be made good members of society. On the idea being first started, an application had been made to the Refuge for the Destitute, which was intended only for Middlesex, and that Society had agreed to take persons discharged from the Surrey prisons, at a suns of 7s. per head a week. Already some of those who had been so sent had obtained good -situa tions, and been restored to the world. All the men so dis charged were found employment, and it was only young men or women that were sent to the Asylum. At length the Asy lum had so many applications, that the Directors refused to take in any more persons. An agreement had sitce been en tered into with a Mr. Hey, who had the superintendence of a workhouse, and who had undertaken to build a house, capable of holding 140 persons, and the Society calculated on sending hint 40 persons a year, who were - to be fed and clothed for 7s. per week per head. Mr. Hey was to have three-fourths of the comings of these persons; the other fourth was to be put into a Savings Bank, or some otherplace, for the use of the persons themselves. A t illr. Hey's the men were to be employed turn ing—the women making matting. The whole of the establish ment of that gentleman was well conducted, and was very clean. Mr. Hey read prayers also daily, and there was a chapel on his premises. Mr. Hey was a sort of contractor for the poor of Newington parish. A separate building, however, was to be provided for elm discharged prisoners, who were not to be mixed with die poor. at was estimated that the expence of keeping 40 persons at Mr. Tfey's would be NU per year. Nearly 3,000 prisoners were annually discharged from the prisons of Surrey, and this was so appalling, that some ,place of this description was necessary. People could not employ discharged criminals without danger ; and therefore it was necessary to provide for - them till they had again earned a character for themselves. It bad been objected, that this asyluin would be an encourage ment -to crime; but this was improbable, for before a prisoner could receive this temptation to ,commit crime, he. must go through the discipline of the treadmill. This Was a severe and useful punishm et.: ;for theinvention of whith society ought to be - very thankful, as its effects were most beneficial. . lie could not conceive, therefore, that the Society held out a temptation to commit crime. Some persons -objected to shutting these reformed criminals within four wallet, but their residence was, to be voluntary. -The Rev. Gentleman then read an - account of the reformation of a noted chat acter called Billy Desperate, who was reformed at the Refuge for the Destitute: He was there taught the trade of a shoemaker, then he became a con -fidential messenger, and was at length established in a com fortable situation ; got married, and, though strongly tempted, lie had never, % for three years, swerved srom honesty. There was no reason then, lie said, • however :abandoned persons - might be, •to despair of their reformation. The Reverend -Gentleman then mentioned another case of a woman who had :been cured ordrunkenness, and after being in the Refuge, and after - more than one relapse, had conducted herself with great propriety. The Society was intended solely to find employment for reformed prisoners, and he was surprised that -no society of this ,kind had before been established, which he could only attribute to the former state of the prisons, when' the reformation of the prisoners was never thought of, and when' prisoners. were corrupted rather than reformed. From this So ciety—and he - hoped .to see such a one established in every county of England—much good might be expected: Such a • Society was already established in Middlesex and Kent, and he knew one - was about to be established in the county of York. Nothing was wanting.- but funds. The Rev. Gentleman con cluded by moving a Resolution, purporting that this Society would be beneficial to the County of Surrey. -- 1.. B. ALLEN, Esq. (the -Police Magistrate) seconded the Resolution. In Surrey the committals were more numerous ' -in proportion to the population than in the County of Kent.— There was no occasion for him, therefore, to say that there was , a great want of such a Society. Upwards of 3,000 persons were discharged from the prisons of Surrey every year, a certain number of whom might unquestionably be reformed. He was not himself a sanguine reformer, but after the mind had been softened by punishment, some reformation might be expected. From the last Return of the Society for the Refuge of the Des titute, it appeared that only 10 boys out of 112 had relapsed, or about one in eleven ; of the females, only one in twentyliad relapsed. This was a stroiT evidence of the utility of such societies.. It was a matter or great consolation in this great and happy country, to find so many persons interest themselves in the improvement of their fellow-subjects. Mr. Allen then read a short extract from the Society for the Improvement, of Prison Discipline, shewing, that boys_ just sent from prison, where they had been flogged, were not likely to obtain employ ment, and who would, by a society of this kind, be provided for. Mr. Allen then paid a compliment to the humanity of ladies, and mentioned that Lady Carnegy had established a Society in - Edinburgh, where half the dis Charged -prisoners had been re- . formed. Tee illustrate the benevolent exertions of Mrs. Fry,'he read another extract from the Society for the Improvement of -Prison Discipline, and encouraged the Ladies to pin their So ciety, as being both benevolent and useful. - The Resolution was unanimously agreed to. GEORGE Sasarrn, Esq. Moved the second Resolution, and praised the Society as being more useful than any other So ciety, except perhaps Societies for the improvement of Educa tion. Its purpose was to rescue those who were morally out casts from the temptations to which they were exposed, having no Connection with the world. 'The second Resolution was that it was desirable to collect subscriptions _and donations for the purposes of the - Society. The• Ree. Mr. 110 A ILE, of Godstene, seconded the-Resolu tion, and said he should be happy to do _whatever he could to support so excellent an Institution. - It was an Institution grow ing out of the times, and out of that improvement in prison dis cipline, by which people were now discharged from prison .not corrupted but reformed* The country atlarge should he thank ful to the Society fo r the improvement of •Prison Discipline, which had laid the foundation for the improvement of crimi nals, and all the present Society had to do was to carry up the superstructure. He knew that a similar Society was about to be established in Devonshire, _under the patronage of Lord Rolle.—The Resolution was unanimously agreed to. I Mr. STEELE (a -Quaker) expressed his approbation of-the Society. . JOHN CATOR, Esq. moved the next Resolution. He trusted the appeal proposed to be made to the Christian public would' not be in vain. —Mr. KEENE seconded the Resolution, and it I was unanimously agreed to. A Resolution, appointing a Trea tsurer, was then also agreed to. Thanks were given to the Chairman for his able and impar tial conduct lathe Chair, and.the - meeting broke up. WEST INDIA. DOCKS.

ISOLEM QUIS ,DICERE FALSUJI A . UDEAT LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 16, 1825. By ec private letter, dated Cephalonia, 29th June last, received yesterday, we have been favoured with some exclusive intelligence from Greece, and which we hasten to lay before our Readers. The following is an extract : " The news of the Greeks and Turks we receive 'here is not trust-worthy : we hear cf some brilliant success of the Greeks one day, and the next of some fatal disaster. The following, however, may be depended upon ;—The Turks have raised the siege of Missdlonghi, and the Greeks have taken and de stroyed twenty-seven transports laden with troops and pro visions. Navarino was taken some time since by the Turks, but I do not think it was of any particular moment to the Greeks.; on the contrary, it has worked good, for that, together with the large force the Turks have sent against the 3lorea, - have caused all parties in Greece to unite and oppose themselves against the common enemy. I believe the Greeks have now 40,000 men under arms, such as they are, good enough though to cope with the Turkish force, always excepting the Egyptian -army, which is disciplined after the European fashion by a French Colonel. A report is spread that this French' Colonel died of the wounds he received at the taking of Navarino. I think the 'Greek cause doing well." The vicinity of the Island of Cephalonia to the Morea gives additional value to this infor mation, and stamps it at once as worthy of credit. We therefore abstain from any assurances as to the credit due to the quarter whence the intel ligence was received, if, however, it were neces sary, we could place the most implicit reliance upon our Cor►'espondent. The French Papers of Saturday have arrived, but are perfectly devoid of interest. Letters are in town by the French Mai!, stating that the French Government have sent orders to Bordeaux and Havre to admit the Co- lorabiau flag. The subjoined paragraphs from the Brussels Oracle of 31st AUgust, are excellent specimens of the liberality and intelligibility of the Ca tholic Church, whose superiority in this respect over the doctrines of the Church of England has been of late the theme of Irish eloquence and subject of the daily lucubrations of some newspapers nearer home. We cannot but congratulate these orators and writers an these specimens of the Popish toleration and Popish good sense, and doubt not they will convert many from the error of their ways. The edifying example of a Christian ex pelled his church for the outrageOus crime of eating meat upon a fast day ; the Chris tian spirit that example displays, cannot but produce, a useful and striking effect upon the mind, 'forming, as - it does, so aposite and beauti ful a contrast with 44 the besotted and dreadful bigotry and intolerant spirit of those members of the Church of England," who would wickedly impose the obligation of an oath upon those who undertake the discharge of public duties, and re quire them (as a condition of their holding office) to renounce all other authority save that which emanates from the Parliament and Sovereign of the United Kingdom, by whom, and from whom, their services are .required, and their emoluments de. rived. Surely with such a contrast all might fe et convinced of the superior liberality of the (j 3 tholic Church. " GENEVA, A 134.4.
