Deputies •having been appointed by the Shipowners the principal butports, to confer with those of London, en the present distressed state of the Shipping Interest, and to consider the best Incacis of obtaing relief. A General Meeting of tl•te Shipowners was held this day at the City of Lotazirilakern, for the above and other purposes.

It must be satisfactory ..to the meeting to learn, that there was no insensibility on the part of the Government, indeed it would be most extraordinary if they betrayed an ;adiffer ence to the prosperity of the British Shipowners, who, it must be remembered, supplied their country with the means of preserving its independence and glory, amidst the dreadful convulsion which at no remote period shook the political world. Mr. CHAPMAN, after congratulating the meeting on the co operation of the Deputies from the various outports, proposed a resolution, which set forth the expediency of having the Com mittee consult with the Deputies as to the best means of obtain ing relief. Mr. YOUNG wished, in the first instance, to hear all the reso lutions read ; the meeting would then be .irs possession of the views of the Committee. The CHAIRMAN intimated, that, for the present, it was deemed prudent to confine themselves to the resolution just read. Mr. You NG expressed his astonishment at the adoption of such a course, and insisted that the public laboured midex, a delusion as to the real state of the shipping interest : it was therefore in his opinion incumbent on the meeting to furnish them with the necessary information. 3fr. URQUHART was also of opinion that a siinple rcsolution,to the effect already proposed. could produce no beneficial effect, Mr. FREDERICK Youxc suggested that perhaps the objections of the two last gentlemen might be obviated if the resolution was so amended that the Committee appointed to confer ,with the Deputies should consist, not only of the usual Committee, but ef such other gentlemen as the _Meeting should then appoint.— (Hear !)—lf the object of the Meeting were to do practical good, this he thought would be the best course to adopt. Let it be for the gentlemen so appointed to consider whether it would be expedient to apply to the executive government for relief, or to seek fe' the formation of a Parliamentary Committee for the pur pose of .considering that question, which interested nut only Ship-owners, but the Empire at large. Mr. Young felt satisfied in a great measure with this amendment, but still felt anxious that a resolution should be passed, declaratory of the distressed state of the shipping interest, and of the necessity of some speedy relief. The Meeting, as British shipowners, and as British merchants, should not confine themselves to the appointment of a Committee.—The lumber trade at all events, should be reserved for the British ships. It seemed, indeed, to have been forgotten by the Government, that we were the only consumers of wood in Europe—we, therefore, had a right to say to the Prussian and the Swede, that we would not use their ti eser unless they permitted us to, carry it in our own ships. If they rsiend, then in God's name let us tell them that we have colonies of our own, where we can procure, if not all the timber, at least the greater part required by us. He conjured the meeting. to bestir themselves, if not for themselves, at all events for the good of theit country, for on the shipping interest depended mainly, if not exclusively, the protection of their freedom-and-independence...ln deed it must be a matter of wonder to any- man- that there could, be found a House of Commons to sanction the recent alterations in the navigation laws. If such propositions had been made 20 years baek, the man bringing them forward would almost subject himself to an impeachment for high treason.—(Hear!) Mr. YOUNG inquired whether there was any objection to a de claratory Resolution ? In his opinion such a Resolution might very properly precede the appointment of a Committee. Mr. BUCKLES coincided with the last Speaker, that if it did not interfere with the regularity of the proceedings, it would be much better to put the declaratory resolution first. Mr. Charmer; said he was quite ready to defer to the opinion of the meeting, and would withdraw his resolution for the ap pointment of a committee, in order to, give the declaratory re solution the precedence. He believed there was not a se cond opinion on the subject before the meeting.—(Hear, bear, hear.)—All admitted the necessity, the urgent necessity of that relief for which the shipping interest pined ; and as an in dividual his opinion was, that that relief was not far distant.— He was confident that his Majesty's Government, would lend an attentive ear to the calm and moderate representations which the meeting had assembled to make. He had some reason to know, that one Member of the Government, whose opinions on this subject was much canvassed, he meant the President of the Board of Trade, was quite alive to the subject, and would be very ready to receive any representation, emanating from so nu merous and respectable a meeting. The declaratory resolution, proposed by Mr. Young, was then put. A Ship-owner, whose name .we did not learn, seconded the re solution, and animadverted strongly on the facility with which laws were passed upon the suggestion of theoretical and unprac tical men. Any one who looked at the London Ducks would see the effects of the system in its worst colours. Foreign ships had their colours flying round the Docks, whilst the British ships were laid up in the midst of those Docks rotting. He was glad to hear that there was likely to be some change in the opinions of one of his Majesty's Ministers. Of that Gentleman's good intentions there could be no doubt; but whilst he permitted his mind to be weighed down by theorists, who treated lri facts as prej u di ces , th ere cou ld not b e muc h goo d expecte d. o i ers ci o ple. Thethought resolution thedeclar should atory notresolut alludeionsras too itsco'nFtineTinkicm Y principle. particularly to the lumber trade, which would be taking too narrow a view of the subject. Mr. SAMUEL COCK said it was thought by somegentlemen, that Mr. Huskisson was oppos e d t o the Shipping Interest but he knew that no man alive co u ld b e more anx ious f or the prosperity of the Shipping Interest. His opinion was, that the simple course would be to appoiut the Committee with instructions to meet the Committee from the Outporte, and to lay their joint sentiments before the Board of Trade. A SHIPOWNER did not think there was any use in resorting to the Board of Trade, which had not attended to the former repre sentations. Mr. YOUNG insisted that the lumber-trade was the life of the Shipping interest, and that it should be made the most prominent feature in tee decleratte y resoiution. He had no objection, however, to any alteration which did not involve the gene ral principle, and would produce unanimity. After a long desultory conversation in which several Gentlemen, took part, the declaratory resolution in a modified form was put and carried unanimously. It was then proposed, that the Ship.. owners Committee should be requested to continue their services for the ensuing year, and to communicate with the Committee from the out-ports. After some observations from Mr. Urquhart, who said he would oppose the resolution on the ground that the Committee should be appointed from amongst the meeting, and entirely inde pendent of the Shipowners' Society, the resolution was put and carried by a decided majority. The names of a number of Gentlemen were then added, in ad dition to those already on the Committee. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting adjourned. DREADFUL ACClDENT.—Yesterday a man named Robinson, while employed cleaning the outside of the windows of the house of Mr. Van Heythuysen, of Castle-street, Holborn, ac cidentally fell down, and the rails in front of the house en tered his side more than three inches deep. He was carried to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he lies without hope of recovers. A GOOD APOLOGY.—Erasmus, who was of a sickly constitution, and had, therefore, obtained a dispensation for eating of flesh iu times of abstinence, being reproached by the Pope for not observing Lent, " I assure your Holiness," said he, " that my heart is a Catholic one, but I must confess I have a Lutheran stomach."—Liverpool Last year there was coined of gold and silver at the Aunt, about six millions and a half in value. All the gold has been deliv ere d to t h e B an k , or e l sew h ere, an d t h ere i s ver y little of the silver remaining.

The plain tiff's attorney being informed of the circumstance, went imme diately to the King's Bench Office, in the Temple, and filed a bill at five minutes before eleven exactly. The defendant ti.:iiied that Simmons had been without the rules at the period when the bill was filed, and the oily question for the consideration of the Jury was, whether lie was or not. _ . . .... . . A clerk from the Declaration Office proved that the bill had been filed at the time above-mentioned ; and three witnesses de posed tliat they knew Simmons, and that they saw him at Hart's house in Mount-row (which was proved to be without the rules), at ten minutes before twelve u'eloCk on the 3d of October. Mr. SCARLETT aci , ! , :ssed the Jury for the deferlaut. The witnesses, he obser. , _d, must have mistaken a brother of Sim mons', who was very like him, for the prisoner, as he would prove that Abraham Simmons was not at Hart's house that night_ John Collier, examined by Mr: GuaNar—Deposed that lie spent the evening of the 3d of October from seven •'until twelve o'clock, at the house of a Mr. Lewis, in Helena Place, Surrey, which is within the Rules, and that Abraham Simmons was there all that time playing cards• ! --that Elias Simmons his brother went out along with Abraham's wife about eight o'clock, and did not return that evening ; two other witnesses deposed to the same effect. Mr. Jones Hart deposed, that Abraham Simmons was not in their house on that night, but that Mrs. Simmons and Elias Simmons were. Four other persons, who spent that evening at Mr. Hart's house, corroborated the last evidence. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up the evidence, left it to the Jury to decide on such conflicting testimony, whether or not Simmons was at. Hart's house on the night of the 3d of Octo ber. If they thought he was, their verdict should be for the plain tiff ; if not, for the defendant. In his Lordship's opinion, the evidence in favour of the defendant preponderated. The Jury, with Out hesitation, returned a verdict for the de fendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. The Court was occupied all the morning in the trial of causes of no public interest. • - t,,“; CONSTSTORY COURT.RiaitlislA • ASTLEY V. ASTLEY. In this case Sir Jacob Astley has instituted a suit, praying to be divorced from Lady Astley, on the ground of her adultery with Captain Garth. ])r. DAUBIGNY, (with whom was Dr. DousoN,) now applied on behalf of her Ladyship, praying the Court to order Sir Jacob Aatley to pay her Ladyship,a sum nfrnoney on account of alimony. The Learned Counsel said he, was.not instructed to press the Court for_ any particular sum, but of course the Court would see the pro priety of granting . something auf4eient to enable Lady Astley to support herself in that rank which she was accustomed to fill, and in which her marriage portion, as well aster husband's largo for tune entitled her to a place. [lt is understoOd that Sir Jacob received 10,0001. on his mar riage with Miss Dashwood, now Lady Astley.] DRS. JENNER and LUSIIINGTON appeared for Sir Jacob, and after some remarks between the Counsel for both parties, the Court ordered that the sum of SUM_ should be paid to Lady Astley on account of alimony. The case of the Churchwardens of Christ Church, Spitalfields, against Peter Smith, in which judgment was to be given this day, stands over to the next sitting of the Court. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. The Opera entitled Das Unterbrochere Opperiest, or the Oracle, translated from the German of Winter (a name well known on the continent), and originally produced at the English Opera House, was transferred for the first time last night, to the boards of this Theatre. The cast of characters, with some few exceptions, was similar to what it was when originally represented. Miss Paton (Mira), and Mr. Sapio"(Faulkland), were each in excellent voice, and sung with even more than their wonted ani mation. The latter, in particular, gave his recitative in the pri son scene, with more scientific dexterity than we supposed him to possess. Miss Paton's execution of the pretty little air, " There was a time ere sorrow," was highly characteristic of its music, which is simple and plaintive to a degree; this is no slight praise to a lady who, however highly accomplished as a singer, is yet too apt to be led astray by the temptations of false and affected flourishes. To he scientific as a singei, is one thing ; to be na tural and full of heart, another, and we think by far the most essential adjunct to real harmony. As a whole, without refer ring to particular passages, to support an opinion of its excellence, the Oracle is an elaborate and painfully tedious opera. Its music has a ponderousness, a substance about it, any thing but impressive. In professed church music, such characteristi•:s are looked for; but we cannot help thinking that an opera, which from its very nature, is or should be, of the lighter and more etherial order of music, should be far differently constructed. The audience seemed to feel that it should be so, and evinced throughout the performance a langour.-'-an indifference—that not even the im posing splendour of the scenes and decorations could wholly efface. Really three hours and a half of elaborate music is too much, even for the patience of the. elect. The manager should look to it. GENERAL MOURNING.• It will be seen by the following Official Notice, issued y'esterday; that the Mourning for his late Royal Highness the Duke of York is not expected to fintunted by the Public beyond this day, the term of sii weeks from the day of his Royal Highness's death, hairing already expired. This considerate act of his Majesty towards the trading classes of the community, affords an additional proof (if. any were required) of his constant paternal attention to the interests of all descriptions of his subjects " Lord Chamberlain's Office, Feb. 20, 1827. " It is the intention of his Majesty, and that ofthe Royal Family . , to continue their Mourning for his late Royal Highness the Duke of York and Albany, during the space of six months ; but it is not expected or desired that other persons should appear in l‘lourn. ing, except at Court, after' the expiration of six weeks from the day of his late Royal Highness's demise." PILYSIOLOGY.—IIt speaking of the physiolo g y of the lungs, there are certain :acts we have to advert to, and one is, the change wrought upon the air inspired. Now what we draw in by in spiration, we know very well contains 27 parts of pure air, oxygen gas ;72 of azote, and one or so of carbon. Then we know that what we expire abounds with carbonic acid gas, and that a cer tain portion of oxygen is taken away from it ; this is the change wrought in the air we inspire. And what is the change wrought in the blood by respiration ? That which went forth by the pul monary artery purple—dark-purple blood, returns by the veins scarlet-coloured blood. Then it is believed now that the change is wrought principally by parting with the carbon. I cannot, however believe, that that's the sole cause of the change, because it is such a striking differenc,e.—Abernethy's Lectures. UNEMPLOYED COMPOSITORS. - -Last night a con cert and ball took place at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, for the benefit of the unemployed Compositors, which was respecta bly attended, evincing the sympathy with which the privations of that body of industrious men are generally regarded ; exposed to distress by causes on which they can exercise no influence, their destitute situation will surely continue to receive that aid from the more fortunate which has hitherto mitigated their sufferings. Misses Romer and Parton, Messrs.

Whitehouse stated that he 'vas att: , iet'ed to the spot by the graans of the proseviwa - , whom 1 conveyed to the toll house, and gut medical assistance. Believed he was perfectly sober when he recovered from the effects of the .vs.—The landlady of the Castle stated, that the prosecutor on leaving the house asked her the road to Hounslow, and seemed sober. He had been drinking with the two prisoners and another man named Manning in the tap-room, and the latter and the prisoner Saunders left almost immediately after the prosecutor, leaving Wasley in the tap-room. The latter, when they were gone, asked the ostler what it was o'clock, remarking, that if any thing was done that night, it would be laid to him, and reminded him that he was there then. He went away about an hour after the others, and was seen at Isleworth with Saunders at about a quarter before eleven o'clock. Man ning returned to the Castle, slept there that night, and has never since been seen in the neighbourhood. At the public-house at Isleworth, a witness swore, that a person coining in who seemed to be an acquaintance of Saunders, observed to the latter, " Why you've been robbing Somebody' to night, or you would not be so flush Of ' money ?" Saunders replied, that he had knocked a man down and picked his pocket. The prisoner now stated that it never took place, that he had no money there, and that he actually owed for the beer lie had at that time. The Jury found the prisoner Saunders " Guilty," and Wasley Not Guilty." ORIGINAL-LOTHAIRE. " Among the number of those who were found-in the ranks of Owen Glendower, was a yotmg man from a village in Provence, by name Lothaire. He had left, it seems, his home, his family, and even the girl to whom he was be trOthed, at the chivalrous summons of honour, only to die unnoticed in a distant land. His body was found a day or two after th, battle, apart from the rest of his com panions, ui,!crn,.ith the old grey crag of Llenellin.—An tiquitics of Carmarthenshire. There came a loud wail from the rock of Llenellin, Where the Lord of the Mountain dwells lone in his lair, 'Twas the wild shriek of pain on the summer breeze swelling, And burst from the lips of the dying Lothaire ; The damp mist of night like a shroud gathered o'er him, The cold chilly rock in its gloom stood before him, While far from his home—not a friend to deplore him— Lay the pride of Provence, the young gallant Lothaire. All idly he turned kis dim eye o'er the ocean, For the clouds of the West saddened deep o'er its plain, And a tear stained his cheek, as in stifled emotion He sighed for the home he must ne'er see again ; Still blythe in his thought its loved tenants were singing, Still round his own village the sweet birds were winging, Still soft on the gale came its merry bells ringing, Henceforth to be mute to young gallant Lothairc. He called to his friends who that morn had stood near him, When the thunder of battle was loud on the hill, But nor kinsman nor friend came in pity to cheer him. T. staunch his death-wound, his heart's flutter to still : Unsheltered, alone, on the damp heath extended, The warrior's last breath on the night-air ascended,— It ceased, and all hope in that struggle was ended, For silent iu death slept the gallant Lothaire. Oh, was it for this in his own native vallies, A mother had sung him in childhood to rest ; For this, had the shade of his vine-sheltered allies Been haunted at eve by the maid he loved beat ? How oft shall that maid glance her eye o'er the billow, How oft that fond mother wake up from her pillow, And bear in each moan of the wind-shaken willow, The last dying sob of her gallant Lothaire. A SMALL POET. THE LATE DUKE OF YORK. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin—Adverting to my letter which appeared in your columns of the 16th ult., proposing that a public subscrip tion should be entered into for erecting a Colossal Statue of his late Royal Highness the Duke of York, as a national tribute to the revered memory of his truly exalted public virtues, I am again induced to address you, in consequence of the apparent preference which you have evinced, and so ably advocated, that the demonstration of that respect, so justly due to the late illustrious Commander-in-Chief, should be ,a national monument. Were this record of a Lotion's regard to public worth to proceed from a Parliamentary vote, and that it should do so I most fully accord with you, a national monument in one of the metropolitan cathedrals, as consonant with former usage upon such occasions, would certainly be the most proper. But, with reference to the measure which I presume to recommend, namely, that of a subscription, composed of individual contributions by the nation at large, I cannot but advocate the Colossal Statue as the.more consistent and appropriate, inasmuch that the monumental testimony, were it erected within the confines of the sacred walls, would, comparatively, be seen by few ; whereas,. a statue of his late. Royal Highness, .placed on St. James's Park Parade (and in favour: of which Spot:, the 'intended Park improvements form ,an additiOnal argument) would be, at all times seen, and thereby serve as an impetus to stimu late the public generally with increased loyalty to the House c. 4 Hanover ; aid the brave .soldiers, with additional devotion to maintain the honour of that military character which their late illustrious Commander-in-Chief so pre eminently inculcated amid all ranks of the British army. Should the amount of subscription be adequate to its accomplishment, I would propose that the Colossal Statue might be placed on a pedestal, adorned with suitable military trophies, and with the likenesses, in alto relievo, of the most distinguiShed military chiefs, who, through the fostering hand of their late Royal Commander-in-Chief, achieved those deeds of valour, whence gradually emanated that exalted summit of England's military glory—the Battle of Waterloo!

NOTHING LIKE COOLNESS.—The young Parisian elegant, who has been recently condemned to chains and imprison ment for seven years, for stealing diamonds, was in the habit of lounging with the. utmost nonchalance into shops, and while purchasing some trifling article, contrived to embezzle the jewels by means of cards covered with glue, at the same time saying to the jeweller--C6 if lam satisfied with my purchase, I shall certainly return and take something else of you."—Le Facet. -1-11.rsatIleArThEqtjtrer7aihrs apaayse.el , VASHION ABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS, * .. - if a goOd....llight, send his gout is .

After the consultation, a Messenger was despatched with the account of his Lordship's health to the Ki.. 13, at hi's Palace at Brighton. A Messenger was sent off; about two o'clock yester day afternoon, with the report of the Medical Gentlemen of the state of the Noble Earl, to his Mr:, y.

The stamp for the probate was l 5,0001; is the personal effects amounted to 1,200,0001. This immense sutej is distributed among the relatives (we believe nephews and nieces of the deceased) ; the principal legatee is Hr . . Neale, of -Norfolk street, who will receive 400;0001.; Mr. Bond, of Ware, is also to have 83,0001. We can assure our readers that there is TIM the least truth in the report that Mr. Hume is to be Chancellor ol the Exchequer. Indeed it is understood amongst his friends, that the Honourable Gentleman has long since made up his mind not to accept office, till he can find a person of tried zeal and strength of constitution, worthy to succeed him in the arduous duties of his present vocation. It is - currently reported in the higher circles that a lady who has lately created an unusual sensation in the fashionable world, hai, within the last few days, still further in creased her eclat, by an act similar to that which first gained- her notoriety. She has left (we are given to' understand) the arms of a gallant officer for those of a SPARK equally inflammable, still retaining all her wonted predilection for a Baronetcy. The plantation intermediate between the carriage road in the Green Park and the adjacent line of wall, is to be taken into the garden of his Majesty's new Palace; and it is in tended to heighten, several feet, the wall proceeding along the side of Grosvenor-place, with a view to obviate the inconvenience re sulting from the Royal Grounds being so much overlooked as they are at present. Muds of the property being already' purchased, it is intended that the valuable 'design of widening the u .,:kt end of the Strand, shall be commenced with the least possible delay end with the desire of producing as little as possible of the inconve nience which must necessarily attend such an extensive operation, it is purposed that upwards of a thousand workmen shall be simul taneously employed in pulling down the houses on the northern side of the Strand, between Charing-cross and the east end of Exeter Change, and then in erecting the projected new'hOnses which are to be built upon a more northern site, in order to form that line of the Strand as wide as it now is opposite Catherine street. • . Mr. Wilkins, a young architect of great Promise, is the successful candidate for erecting the intended new Hospital at Hyde Park Corner, the Governors having recently determined upon his plan with certain modifications. The funds of the Hospital are not fully adequate to the expence which must be necessarily in curred in building, upon a suitable scale, this Metropolitan Asylum for the Sick ; but an appeal to the public will doubtless speedily effect the attainment of an abundant supply of means for &mom • plhhing this moat desirable object.

He was a dutiful son, a kind and affectionate brother, a sincere and warm-hearted friend, and an intelligent and able officer.

TASTE AND FEELING.—A rich banker of Paris happened to be present some time ago at a representation of Hamlet, in which Telma, as usual, by the fidelity and force of his delinea tion, drew tears from the whole of his numerous audience. Being questioned by a person sitting near him, who was astonished to perceive that he alone renamed unaffected during the most pathetic scene, the banker coolly replied, - 1 . do not cry, because, in the first.place, none of this is true, .r .1 secondly, supposing it to be true, what business is it of mine.—Le Feret. THE HUMOROUS BRIDE.—Not long since, in Liverpool, as a couple were going to be tarried, and had pro ceeded as far as the church-yard gate, the gentleman stopped his fair comrade with the following unexpected address :—" Mary, during our courtship, I have told you most of my mind, but nit all my mind—when we, are married I shall insist upon three things. " What are they.?" asked the astonished lady. "In the first place," says-he, " I shall lie alone ; secondly, 1 shall eat wild bea sts, and the alone ; and, lastly, I shall find fault when there is no occasion ; can you submit to these conditions ?"
