LATEST FROM CURA.--SAVANNAH, JITLY 9.—We learn by a passenger in the pilot-boat schooner Savannah, arrived yesterday in eighty hours from Matanzas, that a serious dis turbance: among the negroes took place in the neighour hood of that place, about the 17th ult.; the number of the revolters were about five hundred, who divided themselves into parties from one hundred to fifty : they proceeded to several plantations, and murdered thp head of the family. In one instance a party of fifty entered a house of public enter tainment, anti murdered all its inmates, but they were sur prised and taken. Much alarm has existed in Matanzas, and the volunteers have been ordered out, and were doing duty in the city when our informant came away. The insurrection was soon put down, and tranquillity restored. There were tin der arms about 1000 'men : the loss of ti:e rebels was about 100 killed, and 75 prisoners. The whites who had lost their lives were about sixteen. • The Gazette of Saturday contains some dis patches from the Naval Commanders on the coast of Ava which, though relating to events of a distant date, will be found interesting in their details, as evety thing connected with the bravery of our seamen must necessarily be. The dispatches cf August 6th and 9th, 1824, relate to the capture of the stocicad - s at Syriam and Dallah Creek. That of October 31 states the occupation of Martaban. Those of the Bth December relate to the affairs of Remmindine and Possendown ; and that of the 16th of DeceMber rocords the capture of 30 of the enemy's war. boats in the Rangoon river. Besides these there is a short notice of dispatches received in May, 1824, on the capture of Cheduba.— The Gazette also contains the offer of his Majesty's gracious pardon to any accomplices of the person who sent anonymous threatening letters on the 26th of July and 10th of August to Mr. C. Virawn. of South Shields. iTo this Mr. Wrawn has added a reward of 304 to be paid on conviction. SIR RICHARD BtaNzE.—W e are sorry to oh. serve such repeated and acrimonious cepSUres against this zealous and able Magistrate. Grant ing that in a recent instance he has been some what too hasty in his treatment of a person who, by all that appears, was entitled to mere re spect, an. who seems to have had nothing bat' the assertion of just rights in view, we should consider the general conduct of the Head of the Bow-street Police, which has always been marked by good sense, vigilance, discernment, and firmness, in the discharge of an arduous duty. We should consider also that he has often to contend with flippant personS, who are brought to his official bar, .or appear there as witnesses. —Without impeaching the motives of Mr. GAMBLE, or interfering in a question which will probably be decided elsewhere, it must be acknowledged that he repeated the ques tions of the Magistrates un necessar ily, h e . sitated much in giving plain answers to simple questions,' and evidently was so little concilia tory in his! manner, that the Magistrate rn 7 ght naturally be - irritated, and give way to a su Men impulse which he otherwise would not have felt. The watchman, indeed appears to have been both officious and violent in dragging Mr. GAM BLE to the watch-house, when the women had removed, and there was no appearance of dis order, and Mr. GAMBLE is to be commended for resisting his " brief authority," and assert ing the rights of an Englishman- Mr. SLATER, a Treasury Messenger, left town on Thursday night for Bruss , ds, with official papers and dispatches for the Earl of LIVERPOOL, who is expected to visit that city in his excursion on the Continent, for whicl► purpose the Noble Earl left Walmer Castle some days ago. BRUSSELS, AUG..lB.—Lord SIDMOUTH and the Earl of LIVERPOOL passed through Ghent on the 15th and 16th on their way to the Hague.—His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, who arrived here. the day before yesterday, set out this morning for Spa, where it is said there is to be a diplomatic meeting. His MAJESTY arrived on the 16th at the Palace of Laeeken, from the Hague. CANIBRAY, AUG. 16.—The Minister of War, with some of his Aid-de-Camps, is expected in the Department of the North at the beginning of next month. His mission is +o inspect all the fortresses of the first and second lines, from Stras. burg to Dunkirk, to examine the state of their fortifications, their artillery and mag a zi nes . O n t h e ot h er h an d , since the cession of Philippeville and Marienburg to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. this part of our fronCars being rather open, a project was formed to convert Rocroi into a fortress of the se cond line, but circumstances have not yet permitted the Minis ters to dispose of the considerable sums which this new fortress would require. It seems that the Minister of War is to examine on the spot the plans presented, and to make a report to the Government. EXPEDITION To .ArttrCA.—The sailing or the azen, 28, Capt GEORGE WILLKs, with Captains CLAP PERTON and PEARCE, It. N. on their journey of discovery into the interior of Africa, is delayed until about Thursday next :—The native of Soudene whO bad engaged himself as a guide to the lamented Belzoni, has been put on board the 13razen, with the same object. We understand the Brazen will convey several fresh instructions to the new Commander in-Chief.on'the coast. An alteration is to be made in the ma nagement of the manumitted slaves. They have hitherto been paid for their labour by the day, by which mode an idle fellow has received as much as an. industrious man, even though the latter has also been a better artizari. They are in future to be paid according to the quantity of work done or labour performed, and they arc to be paid in specie, and not to be paid by cheque, as at present, on a store, where, instead of cash, they are obliged to take goods, frequently not of the sort they require, and always at a dearer rate than what they could obtain it elsewhere.-.:,lla7ipshi re Telfg•rapit.)

Her Highness visited the India Houie and the Tower on Wednesday, in- company with. her son and daughter. We are happy in being able to state that Mr. Secretary Can. ning is quite recovered from his late' illness, and that the Right Hon. Gentleman never was in the e n j o y ment o f b etter h ealth. Prince Polignac entertained his Excellency Count Lieven and a distinguished party to dinner yesterday, at his house in Portland.place. The Earl of Portsmouth arrived in town on Saturday for the' purpose of consulting Sir Ashley Cooper. AN ECDOTES, &c. ALDERMAN CROSBY.—A vagabond was brought before CROSBY, then the Sitting Alderman :—" I think ' says the fellow, " You and I have b een i n a ll t h e J a i ls in England."— " How, you rogue ?"—" 'Why, your IVorship has been in " the Tower, and I have been in all the rest."—( Surteete History.) BISHOP CREWE.—" Old Bishop Sarum (Burnet the Histo rian) met my Lord, and my Lo r d offered his right h a nd to him." Says Burnet to my Lord, " I won't give you my right hand." " Then," says my Lord, " give me your left," which was complied with. " Well, now," says my Lord, " re member we are left-handed friends."—(Gray's MSS.) FRENCH CUNNING.—Several Frenchmen who had been taken prisoners before Calais—temp. Henry VIII., were sold in open market. A Cooper, of Calais, who had bought one of them who came from Boulogne, received one hundred crowns for his ransom. When the money was raid the Frenchmen en treated the Cooper to conduct him out of danger, and to see him safely delivered. The Cooper having incautiously acceded to this request, he accompanied the Frenchman beyond the boun daries, and then would have returned, but the Frenchman seized by force the aged Cooper, and took him to Boulogne, where he was detained until he paid two hundred crowns for his ransom before he was permitted to return to Calais.— (Grafton, 2 vol. p. 982.) Goon BREEDING.—A farmer, who came up to town to visit his brother, who kept a shop in -- street, having given some offence to his sister-in-law, who piqued herself upon her gentility, by something that did not accord with her idea of good manners, she pertly told him that he was very ill-bred, and did not even know what good breeding wa5.„..." Why, look ma'am," replied he, " as for that I consider myself quite as well bred as you, for all your fine airs : my mother had seven teen of us in sixteen years; and that I take to be very good breeding." HECTOR'S CLOKE.—The Earl of Northumberland, having joined the Duke of Norfolk and others, who were the sopporters of Mary Queen of Scots, the former was betrayed by a faith less borderer to the Regent Moray, whose successor, Morton, sold his unfortunate captive to Lord Huasdon, Governor of BerWici, to expiate his errors on the scaffold. This Borderer was HECTOR GRAHAM, Of Harelziw. A list of the Border Clans in 1605 enumerates among them this name, and " the " ceriefg and cuts of Harelaw." It may be some satisfaction to learn, that this villain did not go unpunished : from affluent circumstances he sunk into unaccountable poverty - and to take Hecto r ' s Cl o k e h as become proverbial throughout the country, for betraying a friend !—(Surtees' History.) THE UPAS TR EE.—Sornebody told Sir William Abdo that Miss Tree had poisoned herself, because Sir. Bradshaw refused to marry her: upon which Sir William observed, " then she must he THE UPAS TREE.—( The Ace.) lirsifor LATIMER.—Being in a controversial conference with some younger Divines, who out-talked and out-argued him—their memories being more conversant with the Fathers: Well, well," said the venerable Bishop, "perhaps I cannot talk •so well for my religion, but I, perhaps, would do more for it than you die for it." • It is with . sincere regret that we have to an nounce the death of a Nobleman, whose distinguished bravery in battle gained him his title, and whose amiability and bene volent disposition in private life procured him the friendship and esteem of all. On Thursday afternoon Admiral Lord RADSTOCK was seized at his house in Portland-place, with a sudden attack of apoplexy. The strength of his constitution ' strugg,lefl with that of the malady till Saturday, when the hopes which had been entertained of his r ecovery vanished, and expired. Admiral Lord R ADSTOCX, O.C.

His Danish Majesty's brig St. Croix, Captain Kianwan, ar rived at this port from the Mediterranean, on Thursday, short of provisions and water, bound to Copenhagen. Captain K. requested his Consuls at this place (Messrs. Wienholt, Hughes, and Co.) to wait on the Admiral of the port, and inquire if he saluted the Admiral's flag, whether the same number of guns would. be returned; when they were informed that there would be as many guns returned as a British brig would receive (which is six less in number) ; that the salute is hot considered a National salute, but a Captain saluting an Admiral. The salute, therefore, did not take place. The Russian flag has long ceased to salute our's, in consequence of the Officers looking upon it as one nation saluting another, and therefore that an equal number of guns should be returned.

LONDON MARKETS. r I CORN EXCHANGE, AUG. 22. The arrivals of Oats last week, both English and Irish, were again considerable, but of all other descriptions of Grain the quantities were moderate. This morning there is a tolerable good fresh supply of Wheat, chiefly new, the quality of which is not near so good as was expected ; some samples being very faint and soft. Of Barley and' Pease the quantity fresh in is small, there are however more Beans at market than of late, and several mo - ...c vessels fresh up with Osts. The trade for New Wheat is at a reduction of 3s. to 4s. per quarter from the extreme prices that were made last Monday. Old Wheat of prime quality fully maintains last quotations, but other sorts are rather lower. Malting Barley is Is. to 2s. per quarter higher, but there is no alteration in grinding qualities. Beans are Is. per quarter lower. Pease fully support last quotations. Oats of good quality meet buyers readily at the terms of last Monday, but other sorts are very dull in sale. The Flour trade remains as last reported.

DAILY Emily/cis from the :ilurning Papers,Aag.22, 1F;') TILE Times.] While public attention seems so much engaged 'by charges brought. before the police-olioes, and by the spirit in which the Magistrates receive them; we may take the opportunity of offering a word or two upon an important, though very odious and disgusting, branch of the same sub ject. Accusations have been, shameful to say, frequently made at these :offices, against , indi viduals for attempts'at an abominable and un speakable crime. To such accusations we would recommend 'the Magistrates to turn an ear pot only of earnest attention, but of deep suspicion and distrust. The accusing parties are in tuany, we believe most, instances, soldiers of the Guards —a fact of itself not very readily to be account- ed for. What, is easier than to seize on any soli tary individual, threaten him with a charge and consequent exposure, more terrible to 99 WI sons out of an hundred than the most painful death, and then, bOving gone too far to reced !, and having failed to extort ,money. f r om the intended victim, drag .him before a police-magis, trate, and trump up a story , that shall commit him As this is the only stage of the business at which a Magistrate has it in his power to avert from an innocent man an imputation, though per-, haps,but temporary, at which the mind revolts and sickens, we repeat that it is impossible for the sitting Justice, who swears the prosecutors, and manages the preliminary investigation, to be too suspicious, too keen abil cautious, in ascer. taitting the truth or falsehood of such witnesses, before he consigns on their evidence any sett-, •tient being to gaol, and to the lasting infamy of a trial. Although reason and humanity both remind us that crimes are'rare, and therefore im probable, in the same proportion in which they are atrocious, it is an unfortunate fact, that, many people are disposed to credit a tale of slander, not merely in spite of the blackness of the imputed guilt, but because of it ; and that, instead of yielding their assent to evidence • with a degree of willingness which shall be in versely as the magnitude of the offence, the most horrible calumny is too often that which they.ex• hibit the greatest readiness to swallow. A misc.. rable man brought to a police-office on .a charge of the above nature, if not a person of unassail able nerves, must be thrown into a depth of con-, sternation, totally destructive of the use of his facolties ; and would answer questions, apd mean himself generally, with an awkwardness and confusion which to heedless or unfeeling spectators might indicate a consciousness of guilt. If such a man be sent to . trial, he is ruined irretrievably : no subsequent acquittal can wholly purify or redeem him-the record of the charge and of the prosecution remains, and he languishes to the last hour of his ,exist, ence "the man who was tried for offences not to , be named." • The ignorant part of the world never think of asking how feebly the charge was supported, or how triumphant were the grounds of the acquittal. Let 'the Police Justices theta take these arguments into consideration, and re- . collect, how irrecoverable is the ignominy to which they sentence, a fellow creature, by only sending him to trial on' half-sifted evidence, acrd. on accusations such as we have described. [NEW TIMES.] In one of old Jeremy Bentham's strange works he thinks proper to inform us that Laid Co..- chrane had the greatest claim possible to the af fection of the English aristocracy, in consequence of his having derived his property from the tsyo most glorious sources—blood and ,plunder. N o one we should imagine, will take old Bentham's opinion as to the feelings which actuate our Eng_ lish aristocracy, and therefore we may suffer that, part of his speculation to pass unnoticed ; but as he isa friend of Lord Cochrane, and in the very see, • tence in which this passage occurs was busily panegyrizing him as a most suitable Represent ative for Westminster,. we may safely take his word as to•the origin of his Lordship's wealth. Whether the sage alluded, in his derivation of its sources, to any specific scene at home or abroad we do not pretend to divine. At all events we should think that Mr. Bentham (who is a member of the Greek Committee) must, in consequence of his . knoWledge of Lord C.'spenchanrs, have acorn mended his Lordship as a man in these particu, tars qualified for embarking in the cause of Greece. We must add, he is in many other respects qualified, combining the advantages of other pa.. Irons of the same cause. Poor Leicester Stanhope . went out with his head full 'of the gimcracks of legislation which are so admirably adapted for the prea6nt state and civilization of the Ilellenes; but then the Colonel was no great soldier, Trelawney was ready ellough to fight, but he turned Turk. Mr. Bow ring is good only in the financial department, as managed at Cornhill. Blaquiere, good in many useful particulars, is not generally employed about the' finances. Now' here is Lord Cochrane—they have the legislator who actually represented the enlightened and liberal freeholders of Westminster—the warrior -• _ who has brought home the finances with him, and who knows very well how to manage them, and also, the steady partizan, who is • not in the slightest (Imager of abandoning the cause; for every body who knows his Lord ship must do him the justice of confessing that he is a Greek—a real Eastern Greek—in the very bottom of his heart. In short he is the quintessence of Stanhope, Blaquiere, Be w ring, and Trelawney himself, with this very useful addition, that he knows his business us a sea man. How he resembles another distinguished Philhellene—Lord Byron—might be Lard to con, jecture, did we not recollect that ; like his Lord, ship, " he was bred a moderate Presbyterian:" In the meanwhile we should be not a little sur prised, if on going on this pilgrimage to the East, in the cause of Christianity, he forgot his scrip. It would not be, like the conduct of this painter from beyond th e sea. We hear in th e Ci ty that the Greek Funds are rising, io consvquence of the report that Lord Coch rane is going to depose the Turkish Emperor; and clie:+ot for the We of us forget that a report of the deposition of
