Scarcely had these poor creatures been on shore to see even their quarters, when they were taken ill, and in one short month they were both consigned to the silent tomb. An interesting, amiable, and very beautiful young woman, the wife of the Colonial Secretary, and only ten months a wifei was in• the midst of her happiness the other day, seized with fever, and died in a few days. Afraid of the climate, or rather the rainy months of June, July, August, and September, she was to have come h ome with me,. and to have returned again in October. But alas! she is gone for ever, and her husband is almost heart-broken. Sixty of the white troops are in the hospital, with fever and dysentry, and an officer—a young cadet, died a short time since. We understand . that . the Stamp Laws are about to undergo a revision, and that the new arrangements. are likely to afford material accom modation to the public. Extract of a letter from Lima, March 12 : A vessel has arrived from Guayaquil, with two officers on board, from Bolivar, bearing despatches. I boarded the vessel; and while on board they had their letters seized, and were sent to the guard ship. Bolivar is expected here from Venezuela, and on his arrival much disturbance is an ticipated, he will, no doubt, hang and shoot a great many of the Peruvians before he can get them quiet again. Extract of a letter from Carthageia, May 19 : —Santander has not sent in his resignation as Vice-Presi dent ; it is the general opinion that Bolivar's resignation will not be accepted. We learn it is not the intention of Mr. Canning to renew the British Embassy, should any Cher than Bolivar be at the head of affairs. Some of the letters lately received from Carthageue; rantion confidently, that Bolivar was shorty expected there and would arrive in the Aurora frigate, attended by our Minister, Mr. Cockburn. It is also reported, that it had been intimated by the latter, that unless the measures - of the Colombian Government were of a less vacillating and uncertain nature, the British Government could not continue their embassy to that country, and it would be withdrawn in the present uncertain state of affair. h was supposed that this would have the effect of giving a more stable cha . racter to the measures of Bolivar, and would tend to in duce the Colombians to put him at the head of the country, and secure the protecting genius of the English Govern , went, being consider e d th e on ly p erson w h o cou ld accom - desirable event.

Consols opened at 864 4 for money (which are now quoted without the dividend,) and 87 for August account ; they hive since been heavy, declining to 864 4, and are now 865 l ; in the present situation of the market it quite impossible to give any opinion which way they will go.

By some this is deemed a measure of severity, and one that will cause a grea t l oss o f c apital to tne Republic, so important to an infant State, by emigration, whilst there are others who consider it will not have any important effect in this respect, and as one of the greatest safety against the future plans and plots of old Spain.

ERRATUM.---11l the paragraph which we in serted yesterday respecting the Talbot Steam-vessel plying between Bri g ht on and Hastings, the word eight o'clock was printed by mistake for three o'clock. The sentence should stand thus—." The Talbot left this port (HASTINGS) at three o'clock, on her return to Brighton, where she will arri ve before eight o'clock in the evening." The Company's ships Dunira and Lady Melville arrived off the Wight the 15th of July. They left Macao the sth of Marsh, and St. Helena the 6 th of j - 4 , 41 *.

His LORDSHIP stated, that hi thought in this case, in which Lady Westmeath moved to have a new Trustee appointed in the place of Lord Talbot, and to have the arrear of her pin-money ordered to be paid to her, that. the costs of the suit ought to come out of the fund in Court. This seemed, indeed, to have been contemplated by 'all the parties. ABSENTEES. For a considerable time his Lordship found a great difficulty in procuring Counsel to move any thing. The excuse was, that the Master of the Rolls was sitting hearing consent matters, where the greater number of Counsel were engaged. ' • GIBBON V. COWLING. Air. HEALD appeared to oppose the motion for a new trial that was made yesterday by the Solicitot- General. It will be recollected that the issue di rected by this Court was, to try whether one Matthew Gibbon was the heir-at-law of a Matthew Gibbon deceased, at the York Assizes. The estate was at Appleby. The issue had been tried four times, and the Juries found two verdicts one way, and two the other ; and the present application was for a fifth time: The estate amounts to about 1201: a year, andfVlr. Heald felt perfectly assured, that if the Court granted the trial that was now asked for, the whole fee simple of the estate would be swallowed up in costs. The two last trials were in favour of the plaintiff, and the de fendant now moved. The principal ground on which the defendant relied, was the affidavit of a Mr. Lodge, which Mr. H. considered, if it even could be looked upon as true, could not in the eye'of the Court make any difference in the case, but he viewed that affidavit as altogether undeserving of credit. It was in contradiction to all that Lodge had himself previously sworn to, and directly opposed to the evi dence of half a dozen of other witnesses. His LORDSHIP intimated, that he felt an extreme reluctance to think of granting another trial. The case was proceeding when we left, but the particulars have all been more than once before the public. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COITRA'. PREECE AND OTHERS V. WIGILITAL - ND ANOTHER. Thfrwßrart - apPication by Mr. TRESLOYE for a special injunction, to restrain the - defendant from 'compelling the plaintiff to proceed in a certain action at law, and also to restrain the defendant from pro, ceeding in it himself. The facts of the case as set forth in the affidavit of the plaintiff are shortly these: a Mr. Eastwicke, in the year 1823, conveyed by lease, certain lands to the defendant, in trust for the plaintiff. The defendant having lately dis trained the preinises, as, for rent due to him, the plaintiff replevied the goods taken in dis tress, and entered into the usual bond to prosecute the action of replevin, for the purpose of determining the rights of the parties. The plaintiff now conceiving that at law his case might not be sufficiently strong, sought to stay the proceedings, in the replevin sent, until a Court of Equity should have the opportunity of deciding upon the merits of the question. Mr. WRIGHT opposed the motion, and said that the plaintiff, who had lately become an insolvent, had not the slightest grounds for calling on the as sistance of the Court. The VICE-CIIANCEiLOR said that he never knew the Court to grant an application 'of •this sort unless upon merits confessed in the defendant's answer. In this case the defendant had not yet put in his answer, and the only facts before the Court were those contained in the affidavit filed by the plaintiff. His Honour did not mean to express an opinion one way ol the other as to the truth or false hood of the allegations in that affidavit, but he thought it would be a monstrously unjust measure against a landlord, who should distrain a dishonest tenant, if, upon the mere affidavit of that tenant, a Court of .Equity should hang up his claim for rent actually due, until the termination of a Chancery suit. His Honour would, however, look into the authorities upon the subject, if any existed, and after examining the .affidavit minutely, would say whether he ought to interfere. If he felt himself bound to attend to the application, he would most certainly afford the defendant the opportunity of making an affidavit in answer to the one filed by the plaintiff. COI C TRT OF KING'S BENCH. TAYLOR V. BARER AND OTHERS. This wit.; an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a ship owner in London, against the defendants who are directors of the South Devon Insurance Company, to recover the sum of 2,0001. secured by insurance with the defendants, on a vessel called the Peggy, belonging to the plaintiffs. Mr. GURNEY, Mr. BROUGHAM, and Mr. PARK, Were for the plaintiff, and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, and Mr. PoLLocK, for the defendants. Mr. GURNEY stated the case. The vessel in question, after being insured, sailed on the 15th September, 1826, from Bristol for Quebec, to bring home a cargo of timber. About a week or ten days aftei her departure, she met with heavy gales; which lasted till the 27th October, when she arrived off Cape Breton. Here tne sea was so boisterous, that the ship became leaky, and at ten o'clock in the morning when the water was six feet deep in the hold, the Captain and crew were obliged to betake themselves to their boats, in which they arrived at Cape Breton at 11 o'clock at night. They saw the ship founder two hours after they left her. The plaintiff, upon receiving information of her loss, applied to the defendants.for the sum insured on her; but they refused to pay, on pretence that she was not sea-worthy when she sailed. He was, therefore, obliged to bring the preFent action, and as he should prove that the ship was in a good state of repair when she left, he would be entitled to a verdict. The master of the vessel and several of the crew were then called, and deposed that she was sea worthy•when she set sail. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Jury for the defendant, and said he would prove that the vessel was old—that she was not sea-worthy—and that she required a more thorough repair than she uoderwent, before her departure, to erttitle the plaintiff to recover. The defendant's witnesses were examining when our reporter left. There being a great number of them to be examined, it is likely► the cause will occupy the Court till a late hour. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS this day directed that two attornies belonging to the Court, should be suspended until Tuesday next, on the ground of alleged professional malpractice, and that the parties should appear on Tuesday, to show cause why their names should not be struck eff the'Rolls of the Court. The Petitions of several Insolvents were disposed of during the day, but the cases contained nothing of any public interest, and the Court adjourned at an early hour. NEW CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.—=-An ex traordinary meeting of this body took place at the Corn Exchange Rooms, Dublin, on Tuesday, July 24th, when Mr. O'CONNELL proposed, that a resolution of Mr. LAW LESS appointing a deputation of five gentlemen to wait on th e Rev.

The public sale of Barbadoes on Tuesday last barely supported the prices of the sale of the previous week : 3,318 bags Mauritius were all sold at public sale yesterday, the brown qualities being taken off with great spirit, at very high prices; 17,779 . bags East India were also sold yesterday by the East India Company, which excited considerable interest.

FOREIGN SuoAits.—Nothing material has occurred this week. The application of the Refiners for an extension of the time for paying the duties for home consumption has not yet been complied with. REFINED S UGARS.-The Market is in that unsettled state at present, that it is difficult to ascertain the business doihg. The Hamburgh houses are doing very little, the last accounts received being very unfavourable. Those parties who have cleared Foreign and East India Sugar for home consumption, appear to be the chief purchasers, hay ing their bonds to complete for exportation. There are but few goods on show, and the Refiners are stiff in their demands. In crashed there is very little doing. Molasses, buyers at 28s. COFFEE.—The oloury descriptions of Plantation offered by public sale on Tuesday and yesterday found ready buyers S at full the previous prices; bat the sale of to-day, consist ing principally c Dominica and Dutch, did not go off with quite so much briskness : 794 bags Foreign (St. Domingo of fair quality) were offered, but bought in at 455. 6d.

Red Smyrna Raking continue exceedingly scarce, and have been sold at Os. ; in other descriptions there is no alteration. The hay-harvest has been taken in about ShafteslmrN, and has suffered very little damage. A fort night of dry weather would mature the wheat harvest, and ensure an abundant crop, but there appears no certain•imli, cation that such a fort . night will ensue. We will not ven ture to assert, that there are not among the farmers, as among other folks, men who are not always sincere in their devotions ; but we give them, to a man, implicit credit for sincerity, when they pray for fine weather in harvest time. —Dorset Chronicle. GARDEN ROBBERY.—The garden of Mr. W. Shuck, in 4ritannia-square, having been frequently robbed, persons were on Sunday morning set to watch; between one and two o'clock, a man named Thomas Price, was observed to enter the garden and go up to the onion bed, in a manner which evidently showed he was not visit ing it for the first time ; he was suffered to take some of the onions, and then lie was apprehended. He was on Monday taken before the Rev. Robert Clifton, and being convicted of the offence, the Magistrate adjudged him to three months' imprisonment to hard labour in the County Bridewell. The case was the more aggravated, as Price was living apparently in decent circumstances...-Under the Act of 7 and 8 Geo. IV. c. 29, it is provided, that any person convicted of stealing, or destroying, with intent to steal, any vegetable production, in a garden, hot-house, &c. shall, at the discretion of the Magistrate, be imprison. ed only, or imprisoned and kept to hard labour, for any term not exceeding six months, or else shall forfeit, over and above the value of the articles stolen, such sum of mo ney as to the Magistrate shall seem meet, not exceeding 201. Persons convicted a second time, shall be deemed guilty of felony. By c! 30, it is provided, that persons maliciously destroying vegetable productions iu a garden, hot-house, &c. shall be liable to the same punishment.— These Acts came into operation on the Ist instant, and the above is the first conviction in this neigbourhood.— Worcester Journal.

His Royal Highness entered into familiar conversation with several gentlemen of the deputation, and repeatedly expressed his conviction of the great ,superiority of Falmouth as a packet station, and the very. considerable advantage it possesses over any other port in the Channel during the winter season, when N.W. winds commonly prevail, and with which vessels could weather Ushant from this port alone. His Royal Highness also spoke of its importance during a war with France, as being nearly opposite to Brest : it is a point from whence a fleet could effectually act, and he regretted that time would not allow his accepting of an invitation to a public dinner, which the Mayo.; Corporation, and prin cipal inhabitants, were desirous of giving to his Royal Highness, The Lord High Admiral and suite shortly af terwards proceeded in the yacht to Milford. The British Museum will close on Monday next for two months. FAITH AND GOOD \YORKS.-A gentleman relates that he.once received a carious illustration. on this important subject from a person with something of a cleri cal appearance, with whom he happened to enter into con versation, while riding along the sea-shore :—" Sir," said the stranger, " my opinion of the matter is this: let us suppose that I am in a boat in that bay with two oars, one of which I call Faith, and the other Good Works, now I want to proceed to that town at the head of the bay : if I put out the oar Faith, and pulp with it, I should only pull, the boat round and round, without advancing an inch. If I lay in Faith and put out the oar .Good Works, I shall just pull myself round and round, only in an opposite direc tion. But if I pull with both oars Faith and Good ,Works; and give the boat's held the proper direction, then I shall be certain of arriving at the wished-for haven."— Manchester Herald.' INTOXICATION IN ALL Li Quoßs.—Brandy kills soonest : it Ikea most rapidly to the head, and tinges the face t%a crimson, or livid hue. Rum is probably the next in point of fatality, and after gin and whiskey. The most dreadful of all liquors is rum when it is not very old. It is such certain death to Europeans in hot climates, that the sale of new rum is prohibited in our Southern Colonies by the most severe laws. But whelia man talks of the. ef fects of brandy, rum, or gin, or, indeed, of wine of any sort, he is erecting a theory upon a shadow. What ninety-nine men in a hundred drink as brandy is no snore that liquor than . it is champagne. Most of the brandy drank in public houses, or bought of inferior retailers, is nothing more than spirits of wine diluted and flavoured. The Hollands sold by publicans is a mixture of gin and whiskey. As to gin, it is .a liquor as different from itself as table-beer is different from pure alcohol ; much of this liquor is composed of mi neral acids, of turpentine, and other rank poisons ; if di luted and exposed to the atmosphere, it is covered with a putrid film ; and one dose to a person not accustomed to drama.dritiking, may occasion death,—/Vanchefter 11frefid, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Considerable alterations, it will he seen, have taken place in the St. Leger Stakes. Reviewer has completely left the field. He opened at 20 to 1, soon fell back to SO to 1, which was taken; 40 to 1 followed, and immediately after the coup de grace was given to the Ould Boy, at 50 to 1 ; he partially recovered before the close, but 40 to 1 are the present odds, and no takers. Mameluke is tottering, and it was even betting on Granby bein the favourite before 'starting. The latter has got up, an d stands his ground well at 5 to I ; 6 to 5 was offered on the field against any two. Some betting, though small, took place on the York Thirty Guinea Stakes.

Yesterday the Silver Cup, given by the friends of Mr. Swsyne, of the Red House, was contested for by the fol lowing pleasure yachts :—Lady Louisa, Rob Roy, Don Giovanni, Fortitude, and Swift. The Sylph and about four others were entered, but owing to some dispute, only the above started. The distance was confined to Chelsea Reach, about 11 miles, and was performed in fine style in an hour and ten Minutes by the winner, half of which was against tide. The vessels started at half-past three o'clock, the Lady Louisa shewing the way ; and after some ad mirable sailing the match was thus decided : Lady Louisa, 18 tons 1 • Rob Roy, 16 tons The other vessels did not sail the distance. The Louisa was well managed, and kept the lead during the whole of the match. The Scotch dresses of the crew of the Rob Roy attracted much attention., The Red House was thronged with respectable company, and the attendance on the River was very numerous. CRICKET. The grand Cricket-match at Brighton,—Sussex against All England, has at length terminated, after a most severe and well-contested struggle of three days, in favour of All England, who have won, however, by 24 runs only. The anxiety which prevailed as the game approached to a close, is past description; and it was increased by the fluctuations which almost to the last moment rendered victory doubtful. There has been a good deal of money lost and won by this match. Lieut. Citeslyu, of the '7th Hussars, who played on the side of Sussex, has, it is said, lost 3001. The fielding of the men on both 'sides was remarkably fine, so much so, that 40 balls were, at one time bowled without scoring a single run. The ground was most numerously attended, there being from 4,000 to b,OOO persons present each day. The following is a statement of the game : ALL ENGLAND. SUESEX.

As it is still attempted to draw some conse quences fromthe Duke of Wellington's visit to the King, we must deal more positively with the mixture of falsehood and absurdity, which, from obvious reasons, it is wished to palm upon the unwary. It is totally untrue that the Duke was sent for, or expected, by the _King. It is untrue that he was more than, or even so much 'as, a quarter of an hour in the Royal presence, when it is clear that no political matter, of any import ance could even be broached, much less brought to a happy conclusion. This, we suppose, will ( satisfy doubters on the subject. Besides, if any consequences were derived or derivable from the call, would not they have begun to show them selves ere now ? What desertion has taken place among the adherents of a Ministry, so pe culiarly of the King's own forming, and calling into existence ? On the contrary, .we have to notice the accession of two eminent persons-- the Duke of Buckingham and the Lord Hope town. How stupid in the authors of the false hoods which we are exposing, not to see the re futation of their error in the open and visible signs which spring from the real state of affairs with the respect to the Ministri! How vain to attempt at farther imposition !—Times. It appears from the various Parliamentary do cuments lately published, that we are making but a very poor progress in the accomplishment of the abolition of the Slave Trade. From the official correspondence and affidavits we gave a fesc days ago, respecting recent importations of Slaves into the Havannah, it appears that al though there was au express order sent by the Spanish Government at Madrid to the Colonial Authorities at the Havannali, for the purpose, as Mr. Canning mentioned, of carrying into effect the total abolition of the traffic in slaves in that quarter, the local authorities in the Havansali have not paid the least attention to such order. It is manifest that the Governor of the Island of Cuba utterly disregards whatever instructions he may have received from Madrid, supposing that he ever received any instructions of the nature and tendency mentioned in Mr. Canning's note ; but the question is, whether the Cour t of Ma . drid ever transmitted such instructions at all,and whether it . really wishes the abolition of the traffic in slaves in that quarter. The Spanish Court might have _ostensibly sent out orders to the effect mentioned by Mr. Canning; but it might, at the same time, have accompanied them with injunctions of an apposite nature, to coun teract and defeat the orders which it considered extorted from the weakness of the mother coun try, and as incongenial to the colonial interests of Spain and her - plantations. The Spanish Government may on this occasion have played the 'same game with Mr. Canning in the Slave Trade Question at the Havannati, as the French Government played him with regard to the Sanitary Cordon, and the French Army of Obsetvatibn, which after wards marched into Spain, and took possession of the country. We have for some time past thought that there has been a good deal of shuffling on the.part of seteral European Go vernments on this question. The different Governments of Europe.probably think that the Ministry of Great Britain, goaded on •by the' Sectarians of various denominations, which form so large a proportion of her population, are very sincere in thif; matter of slave emancipation, and the Governments of Europe generally .may be apprehensive that the British. Ministry, thus goaded on, might be induced to make war, if not in a military, at least in a naval respect, on all points wherever European nations are as,- sailable ; and therefore, 'though in their hearts they are adverse to the abolition of the Slave Trade, they probably deem it expedient to keep up appearances at least; to prevent our striking the apprehended blow, in; a naval respect, as it regards their commerce. Our opinion is, ,that the Court of Madrid is laughing in its sleeve, not only at Mr. Canning, but at the people of this country, who, in their simplicity, believed that Spain would ever Willingly relinquish a trade so es sentially necessary to the productivenesss of her plantations, none of which are as yet half stocked with the requisite number of African slaves. They apparently set us at defiance on this question, and seem to be determined to have their own way; but perhaps Spain cannot afford to disoblige the . settlers and inhabitants of her few remaining, co lonies by denying them slaves. The Slave Trade system should be considered in the same light with respect to nations, as other matters with re spect to individuals ; whatever course of measures it is desirable for nations or individuals to pur sue, such measures will naturally be pursued by such nationvor individuals on the ptinciple of self-interest. Whether the people of England, or the British Government, will think it worth their while to exercise their right of interference by going to war with. Spain to enforce the aboli, tion of the Slave Trade, is a question we leave to Ministers to determine, but we 'should think that the consequent increase of the national debt ought to operate as a preventative.—Morning Herald. Our Paper of Tuesday, in the police accounts from the Marlborough-street and Bow-street offices,, contained striking proofs of the inef. ficient state of our parochial and general police ; if any thing in the shape clone, or the other can really be said to exist at all in the face of such daring outrages and licensed receptacles of crime, as both, but one of these cases in particular, mzy . be said to exhibit. We allude to the double robbery of the same person in two hotnn joining each other in that notorious den of profligacy hear Temple-bar, called Shire-lane— a place which has been for yeari treated ap parently as a sort of neutral ground between the cities of London and Westminster, which the au thorities of both seem anxious, like the proprietors of adjoining manors, to preserve inviolate as a kind of breeding ground for their gami. Though we use this term of sarcasm, we are far from mean.. ing to treat with any degree of levity a subject of so serious a nature as one in which the lives and property of the peaceable part of the community are so much interested, and in which Eo` much crime is nurtured, till it becomes, as it were, ripe for the sickle. \\redo not speak without authority for what we say, when we affirm that this on e place has furnished more subjects for the gallows and the liblks than all the lowest parts of the metropolis united. Here exist, on each side of the way, open and undisguised houses for the sole reception of thieves, prostitutes, and re ceivers of every description of stolen property. In these houses robberies are planned, and the plunder disposed of. Into them unwary persons are inveigled and robbed, as on the occa sion we allude to. Here the notorious Dud field held his court; and here, in short, in defiance of law, and justice, and common decency, a series of unblushing profligacy continues to be carried on, which cannot but, we should imagine, he well known to those whose duty it is to see-that it did not exist a day after such knowledge had
