The longer the task is delayed, the more difficult will it become. Death must soon be busy with the surviving heroes of that Memorable field, and we hear that even the face of the surrounding country will soon be mate rially changed, the forest of Soignies being in course of' demolition. " The Shipwreck" is an article of the day, on the subject of the late catastrophe off Boulogne harbour, of which we cannot say that it presents anything beyond a rehanhitig of the newspaper accounts. " The Visit to the Field of Agincourt" is also " a made up article," but in a somewhat better style. The paper containing the account of French privateering in the West Indies, and th e " Loves of the Sailors" are two of the best ; but that which has most amused us is th e " Miseries of a new Member of the Yacht Club." The hero is the native of an inland county, who has married a large fortune, and the honey -moon being spent at Brighton, both are seized with the desire of having a yacht. They go to Cowes, a yacht is soon bought, and the expedition to Cherbourg being resolved u pon, the following is an account of his ern hukation, &c.:— current of the tide, which, I believe, met the wind, caused tun motion ; I am not sure about this, but I think I beard somebody say so; but whatever might be the causes, I am sure th a t I can answer for the effects. My wife screamed d le ant upon me ; and Lorimer Lomax pinched my left an black and blue. Luff, NIT! • said the man who steered the boat, and thinking that he looked at me, and , th at very probably our safety depended o n m y i nstant l y ' ° ing something that he desired, I almost shouted in reply ;••••' In the name of heaven, what do you mean by luff? M ary, m y dear, luff, if you please; Lomax, pray luff, if Yeti happen to know how." The steersman (I think you WI him) gave a grim smile, and addressing my wife, said, trim the boat, if you please, Ma'am.' " `Mary,' said I, the man speaks to you.' " What, Sir?' cried Mrs. Cockle. " `Trim t h e b oat ,' sa id t h e man . " `lSlerey on us,' I cried, he talks as if he were de liring her to tri m a bonnet !' 'Sit there,' said the sailor. " And thankful that at last he spoke intelligibly, with. out et • It”lag a word, I took my wife by the shoulders, and a eed her i n th e i dent i cal spot to which he had pointed. w e Were now nearing the Waterwagtail, and the sailor id, `There' s aC your yacht, your Honour, th e y'll soon b ear lon upon us.'

The present number, how ciac i 8 not entitled to any very great commen to d i " on that account. Of the sixty pages or t o ' ev °ted to original matter, some are devoted it , i ? w eak attack upon the pamphlet entitled 1, 21° Reform Ministry and the Reformed a rllarn , 1 tilt ed . " en t ; others to a strained and exagge t account of Sydney society, and the Nal il 1.1 -.er to scrap s of different kinds. The w riter h of the article on " Society in Sydney", l i 4 evidently been in the country, and if he will but be a little more natural will, we dare say, give pleasure in the account he promises us oi the manners of the upcountry settler. THE ASIATIC JOURNAL. There are one or two articles of merit in this number, which is certainly better than some of its predecessors. The route of Lieut. Burnes and Dr. Gerard, extracted from the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Calcutta, is full of interest. That of M. Saint Martin, on the study of the languages of Asia and Europe, will be read with pleasure by every philologist. The sum mary of the experimental voyage of the Amherst to the northern coast of China, from a Parliamentary paper which we have already brought before our readers, is somewhat late, and the continuation of it, promised next month, will be absolutely stale. The eighth article, entitled " Mofussil Stations," is not at all be hind those of its immediate predecessors which we have had so much occasion to praise. 'The following extract from it is all for which we can spare room : " The roses of Ghazeepore are planted formally, in large fields, occupying many hundred acres of the adjacent country. The flush of their flowers, when opening to the morning ray, and enamelling the verdant carpet of green spread over a sun-lit plain, cannot fail to delight the eye, but would afford far greater pleasure if diversified with bowers and labyrinths, trellises hung with garlands, and crimson clusters peeping bt the luxuriant foliage wreathing over long arcades. If the vo luptuous Moghuls ever nelebrated a festival of roses in so appropriate a scene of their Indian conquests, no traces or memorials now remain to fill the spot with recollections of the Floral fete. The gathering of the flowers, either at its commencement or its close, is accompanied by those grand revels, which seem to be almost inseparalde from a harvest of roses. No gay troops of youths and maidens pile the glowing treasures in osier baskets, or wreathe them round their brows. The work is performed, sys tematically, by a multitude of poor labourers, who, while carefully securing every full blownflower,think of nothing except the price which will repay their easy toil. " The first process which the roses undergo is that of distillation. The gookiabee pacinee (rose. water) thus obtained is poured into large vessels, which are exposed uncovered to the open air during the night. The names, or j ire, are skimmed occasionally, the essential oil flo sting on the surface being the precious concentration of aroma, so highly prized by the worshippers of the rose. It takes 200,000 flowers to produce the weight of a rupee in atta. This small quantity, when pure and unadulterated with sandal oil, sells upon the spot at 100 rupees (10/.): an enormous price, which, it is slid, does not yield very large profits. A civilian, having made the experiment, found that the rent of the land producing the above-named quantity of atta, and the purchase of utensils, alone, came to 51. ; to this sum the hire of labourers remained still to be added, to say nothing of the risk of an unproductive season." THE GARDENER'S MAGAZINE, No. 46, Is as scientific and full of information as usual this month, but is almost desti- tute of any thing interesting to the general reader. The first article is the one most free from this fault, if fault it can be called in a magazine almost exclusively devoted to the pro fessional gardener. The article to which we allude contains a narrative of the tour of th e Conductor through some of the southern and western counties, with his observations upon the state of landscape gardening amongst them. The different noblemen and gentlemen whose seats and grounds he describes will feel peculiar interest . in this part of the number. Tait's, the Monthly, and Johnstone's, Illa gazines, must be reserved for a future notice. They have reached us at so late an hour, that we have been able to do little more than just glance at their contents. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY, FROM LLOYD'S.

The lovers of the drama, together with all the friends of the late Mr. Elliston, will he gratified to learn that a handsome marble tablet has been erected to that gentle man's memory in the chancel of St. John's Church, Wa terloo-road, on the south side of the altar. The following appropriate and elegant inscription is from the pen of his son-in-law, Nicholas Torre, Esq.:— Haud procul ab hoc loco sepultus est Robert us Gulielmus Elliston, Cujus memorix sacrum liberi sui superstßes. Amicis etiam quibusclam opem afferentibtxs, Hoc marmot ponendum curaverunt.

ADELPHI THE A.TR& Last night's performances, with which commenced the regular season, were honoured by an overflow in all parts of the house ; the happy presage, no doubt, of its prosper. ous continuance and end. For the occasion a new romantic drama, called Lekinda, the Sleepless lVoman, was brought forth, upon whose merits we at present feel some embarrassment in hazarding an opinion. The many imperfections to which a first night's performance are ever subject, more especially in pieces wherein, as in this, are combined mutth new and complicated scenery and machi nery, of course greatly detract from the pleasure it might otherwise afford. Besides, many parts of the dialogue were inaudible, owing to a dispute, which for a time disturbed the house; so that having but a very imperfect knowledge of the plot, we shall make no attempt to detail it. The various performers, particularly Mrs. YATES, MI 8. WAYLETT, and Mrs. HONEY, Messrs. YATES, JOHN REEVE, and 0. SMITH, were heartily greeted on their entree. The scenery and decorations were very splendid ; the music, by RODW ELL, graceful and pleasing. The performers did their utmost, but will, no doubt, make more of their respective parts when they shall have become better acquainted with them. Reeve, where he is equipped for the Carnival as Harlequin, was very ludicrous, and also when in the disguise of an old woman. His diablerie, after all, is not to our taste, and we cannot but feel surprise and disappointment that the manager should be so led away by it, as to abandon the more rational mode of entertainment of which his highly successful dramas of Victorine, Henriette, and others of like character, were such favourable instances. These pieces were not only entertaining and instructive, but were the means also of bringing forth the various talent of the Company in a way to confer upon it great respectability. But these advantages have been abandoned that the tailor, the scene painter, and the machinist, may claim the whole merit of the performance. The Alumna/ obtained its fair meed of approbation. The Loves of the Stars, which the fastidious licenser has been pleased to call The Loves of the _Angels, the name it was originally known by, was produced with new scenery and dresses, and went off with considerable eclat. Mr. BRA YNE, as Rubin, although he had but little to do, made as much of his part as it was capable of, and his first essay was such as to give promise of greater things. NEW STRAND THEATRE. Last night a new company of performers, under the direction of Mr. WRENCH, and Mr. J. RUSSELL, opened their theatrical c-ampaign in this little house. Before the commencement of the regular performances a short pro pitiatory address, in verse, containing some well-pointed allusions to the monopolizing pretensions of the patent theatres, and vindicating the right of the free trade in th e drama, was spoken by the two managers. The address is smartly written, and was well received, the audience parti,. cularly testifying their approbation when one of the n ew proprietors, in the spirit of rivalry exclaimed— " Success to all ventures, whether British or French, For ' live and let live' is the motto of WRENCH. After the delivery of this address, the regular performances of the night began by the production of a new piece, en titled, The King and the Actor. It is a one act farce of slight pretension, copied from the French, the humour of which depends upon the King (Frederick of Prussia) being mistaken for the actor, and the actor for the Ki ng. It was well acted, and met with a favourable reception. The next piece was a musical farce, entitled The Station House, which is better written, more amusing, and has greater claim to originality than the first. Its succe,s was accordingly more decided. The principal characters in it were sustained by Messrs. WRENCH and RUSSELL, th e former of whom enacted the part of an attorney's clerk with that happy air of easy impudence which always makes his performance amusing. The latter, in the cha racter of a Frenchman, which he admirably supported, sang a song in which mention is made of the present a t ni_ cable relations existing between England and France. It was gratifying to observe that this allusion was instantly caught up, and cordially responded to by the whole house, The part of a novel-reading mantuamaker, in this piece. was very cleverly performed by Mrs. CHAPMAN. The farce of What ! the Devil again ! concluded the night's entertainments, which evidently afforded great satisfaction to a crowded and respectable audience. OLYMPIC THEATRE. The winter season was opened last night at this theatre under circumstances the most satisfactory to the fair and enterprising lessee. Every part of the house was crowded, and, with one exception, the frequenters of this temple of mirth (to which the designation of sans souci would be more appropriate than that by which it is now known), were highly gratified with the variety of entertainments that were provided on this occasion. The very pleasant burletta A Match in the _Dark (taken from the petite French piece Le Bandeau), was excellently performed. Madame VESTRIS acted with her accustomed naivete and spirit ; and we do nothing more than mere justice to Mrs. ORGER, when we speak of her Scotch housekeeper as in finitely entertaining. A new dramatic sketch, entitled Look at Home, followed. It is unequally written. Part of it is distinguished by gayety and smartness of dialogue, while not unfrequently, instead of neat rerartee, the author has resorted to stale jokes and vulgar commonplaces. Mr. LISTON, whose humour is as uncttious as ever, sustained the part of the hero, Mr. Septhaus Lovibond, a precise gentleman, who fancies that he has solved that most diffi cult problem, " how to rule a wife," but who discovers in the end, by the conduct of his cara sposa, that he has cherished a false theory, and that a system of coercion and severity is the very worst that can be adopted for insuring the esteem and affection of a wife. He therefore gives his system to the winds, and determines hereafter to rule his lady by following the poet's advice : _ . " Be to her faults a little blind, Be to her virtues very kind ; Let all her ways be unconfined, And clap a padlock on her mind." Mr. LISTON played in his most humourous style, and, without the least effort, excited eclats de rire throughout his performance. The writer of the epitaph on the cele brated comedian Tarleton spoke of him as one— " cujus actio, vox, vultus possit Ex Heraclito reddere Democritum," and we think the same description may very fairly be applied to Mr. LISTON. A new burletta, denominated I've lost my Place, was next represented. Good humoured as the audience were, and anxious as they felt to support Mr. KEELEY, who made his debut here in the principal character, Mr. Aterryweather Ruttlebottom Ilelinour, the piece was so intolerably stupid, so unspeak ably dull, that it was condemned without mercy. The entertainments concluded with a new and extremely mirth exciting extravaganza, called High, Low, Jack, and the Game. It is on e of the happiest trifles of this class, which has been produced for years. It may be described as a very whimsical production, in which the loves, jealousie;, and wars . of " die cards" are portrayed with most ludicrous effect. The parodies are good, and the phraseology of the cad table has been, in many instances, very pleasantly and very humourously adopted. The concluding tableau, in which the great staircase scene from La Tentation is imitsted, was as pretty as it was novel. The extravaganza was quite successful. THEATRICAL. Ellen Tree will appear at Covent garden in the course of a fortnight, on her return from Liverpool. Mr. Farren cannot appear until the close of the Haymarket Mr. Dowton and Mr. S. Russell appear, on the second night of Drury-lane, in their popular characters of Ma jor Th ea t res i s sa id to ‘ l.l".

Yates the Comedian's personation of Cupid, in the drama of that name, on his own benefit night, a few even ings ago, in the theatre at Brighton, is said to have pre sented a perfect foe simile of John Reeve, the original representative of that character. MUSICAL. The Norwich Musical Festival has been very successful. The total receipts, for tickets only, amounted to about 4,5701., exclusively of liberal donations from several persons. The Liverpool Musical Festival commenced this day, and will last until Friday. Propos.da were made to Mr. Braham, by the managers of the Norwich and Liverpool theatres to perform at those towns during the Festivals, which he, with a very prop, feeling, declined. At a meeting of the committee for conducting the Car diff Eisteddvod, held on Thursday last, it was reported that four hundred pounds have been already sui,scribed towards the expenses, and that the Honcrary Secretaries were daily receiving assurances of support from the princi pal families in the counties of Glamorgan and Monmouth. WORCESTER, SEPT. 28.—The festivities of the week closed last night with a grand ball at V e College Hall, at which upwards of eight hundred of the best families for miles round were present. Weippert and his excellent band were in attendance, and performed in exquisite style. The utmost hospitality has been maintained throughout the week at the Palace of our esteemed Diocesan, and also by the Bishop of Rochester. We understand the aggregate receipts of the meeting will be upwards of five thousand pounds. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING, SEPT. 30. NEWMARKET, MONDAY AFTERNOON.

She had frequently implored permission for her father to pay her a last visit, well guarded, and on giving his parole d'honneur, but it was refused.— Court Journal. The Earl and Countess of Jersey are de tained in town by the indisposition of his Lordship, who is confined to his chamber. It has been stated that they go on a visit to Prince Talleyrand, at his marine villa in France, and thence to Odessa, to visit Count Michael Woronzow, the Governor of that town (brother to the Countess of Pembroke). The improvements at Grosvenor-house proceed with activity, and the mansion will be a scene of Bloch gayety dedly th e next winter; but the gallery of pictures, which is deci• best in the kingdom, is not so a ccessible to strangers as the gallery at Bridgewater House, Cleveland row, which ranks the next as a fine and splendid collection. The admirable pictures bequeathed to the late Sir Francis Bourgeois, the artist, by M. Desenfons, and presented by him to Dulwich College, are much resorted to by finite ,t ha are favoured with talents, and several female antis nd others are seen there daily, who have been ptrmitte to make copies for their improvement: The Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress gave a grand dinner on Saturday to' the Lord Mayor elect, the new and late Sheriffs, the Aldetmen; Law Officers, and principal Members of the Corporation ; amongst several distinguished strangers were Sir Francis Pilgrave, the chief Municipal Commissioner; C.

HOUSE AND WINDOW TAXES.—A meet ing of inhabitant householders of the parish of St. Pancr.s was held last evening upon the subject of these taxes, when, after several persons had spoken in favour of their abolition, and the substitution of a property tax, it Was agreed to form an associatio❑ in order to effect that object. . LORD WILLIAM PAGET. The Dtibliti Times, alluding to the extract from the Kingston Chro nicle, says that on the arrival at Portsmouth, some six 0/ eight weeks ago, of the North Star, which was the King's ship under Lord William Paget's command, his Lordship proceeded to his family at Brussels. We are sorry to learn that for some time past a disease, supposed to be the cholera, has prevailed at Fal mouth, and that some deaths have taken place.

By a Parliamentary return just printed of the importations of grain from our North American colonies, it appears that those of wheat amounted, in 1825, to 90,686 quarters ; in 1826, to 26,821 ; in 1827, to 50,925; in 1828, to 14,415 ; in 1829, to 4,055; in ' 1830, to 58,963; in 1831, to 190,796; and in 1832, to 89,748 quarters. An infamous report has been circulated in Paris doting the past week with respect to a young, interesting, and illustrious personage, recently on a visit to this country. It has been traced to the Fauxbourg St. Germain manufactory of scandals on all personages connected with the liberal party, and it is indignantly re butted. The Assembly of the States at Cassel, in its sittings of the Sth, resolved to receive the accusation against the Minister of the Interior (Hassenpflug), for various alleged violations of the Constitution. The first application made to the High Court of Appeal on this subject was rejected by that Court, for a defect in form. This defect has now been remedied, which is comprised in five heads, and is to he referred to the Court of Appeal. We hear that Lord Grey has submitted his plan of English Church Reform to the Archbishop of Canterbury, and through his Grace to the principal Bishops ; but there are parts of it which the Archbishop has stated his intention of opposing when brought before Parliament. We believe the Bill will be introduced into the Commons by Royal message.—Leeds intelligencer. JOSEPH LANCASTER.—We understand it is in contemplation to hold a public meeting in this town, to consider what means can be adopted for promoting the subscription in aid of Joseph Lancaster. We are glad to hear, that the scholars in the Lancasterian Schools in Gibr iltar-street, have contributed, in pence, between 2/. and 31., towards this object.— Sheffield Mercury. On Tuesday afternoon the Corporation of Doncaster proceeded in a body to Wentworth House, and presented to Earl Fitzwilliam a beautiful gold snuff-box, value 100 guineas, also the freedom of the borough of Doncaster, together with an address of condolence numerously signed by the inhabitants of the town, on the death of the late Eat 1, his father. The Corporation returned in the evening, after having been graciously entertained by the Noble Earl. The new wing erected at the east side of Somerset House facing the Thames is nearly finished, and the south front of the noble edifice appears, according to the original plan of Sir William Chambers, to great ad vantage from the river. The terrace is the most healthy promenade o❑ the metropolitan banks of the Thamts. The west side of Somerset House, parallel with Welling ton-street, has still an unsightly appearance. It appears, by a recent Parliamentary return, that the public pay 528,387/. per annum for the preren• tive service, which does not prevent smuggling. Much contraband traffic has been prevented by a reduction of duty on several articles, but greater reductions must be made before this enormous charge can be brought within reasonable limits. IMPROVEMENT IN TRAVELLING.--SO lately as the year 1773 the ordinary journey to Bath oc cupied two days; but, by th e "flying machin es t o Lou . . _ . don," the journey was performed in what then appeared to be an astonishingly short time, between " eleven o'clock a: night," the hour of setting out, and " the next even ing," the time of arrival, or rather less than 24 hours. The Baptist congregation in Eagle-street, Red Lion-square, have adopted a novel expedient to corn- memorate the Bill for the Abolition of Colonial Slavery, by resolving to erect a handsome building in Fisher-street, to be devoted wholly to the purposes of charity—viz., emu. modious Sunday-school rooms, and twelve rooms as alms houses for the poor and aged females of the church and congregation. A correspondent mentions, as a subject of much complaint during the present long vacation, that frequently for several successive days not a single Judge could be found i❑ London, either at chambers or other- wise, and suggests the propriety of such an arrangement among themselves as would enable one ^f their number always to be in town, fur the purpose of taking bail and effecting other important objects. HUNGARIAN LANGUAGE IN CROATIA, AGRAM, SEPT. 14.—Our Journal contains the following . . article:—" His Majesty the Emperor, at the desire and on the representation of the Estates of Croatia, Sclavonia, and Dalmatia, that the learning of the Hungarian language in the schouls of this country would be useful to the stu dents in general, and especially to those who desire to qualify themselves for the public service, has been pleased to order that the Hungarian language shall be introduced and treated as a studium ordinarium in the literary district of Agram." POLISII EXILE.—A correspondent in Stir ling requests U 9 to mention, that a Polish exile of re spectable connexions, named Onuphry Marjanski, is at present travelling in that county, endeavouring to support himself by selling a few quills. He has chosen thus ho nestly and honourably to do something for himself, rather than become a burden upon the funds which are being collected here for his countrymen in Switzerland. Mar janski was present in almost every battle of the late Polish revolution, was several times wounded, and at last taken prisoner after the siege of Warsaw ; after suffering for some time the horrors of damp and starvation, in a dun geon under ground, he was removed to the hospital a per fect skeleton, from which, in a few days, he contrived to /".~. T I`bke his escape. He has certificates of his servit: and merits from the officers of his regiment, and from r Edinburgh and Stirling Polish Associations, and corn spondent concludes his letter by stating that Mir Lin•li is "a modest and steady young man, who see n entitled to the good offices of the generous and ha. nare."—Edinburgh Paper. .112 R. BULWER'S FALKLAND.---It is not, NV itilitve, generally known that Mr. Balwer, the distin, ;uislied author of " Pelham," and " Eugene Aram," i ,Iso the author of the Tale entitled, '' Falkland." Th, liffii ult and delicate subject which forms the groundwod if this Novel has been' unhesitatingly takers by French (3erman, and Italian Authors, but had not been a.p. IEO. cited by any English writer. It was reserved for Mr Balwer to complete the series of these novels of love, anc 'o throw beauty and enchantment over the errors o woman ; and " Falkland" will be found to consummate the idea which the Authors of " La Nouvelle Heloise," " Wer ter," and "Jacopo Ortis" had only begun. For 20 years in Tuscany the puhishment oi death was altogether abolished by the Grand Duke Leo• pold. Bonaparte afterwards had it restored. Oa coin. paring three successive periods of 20 years ea,h—in I the first period capital punishment existed—in the second period abolished—and in the third period again restored, as above-mentioned—it is found that fewer crimes, and even fewer murders, were perpetrated in the middle 20 years, while no executions took place, than in either the precedi ng or s u ccee ding 20 years while the scaf h•lil was in use. Yesterday was l a u nc h e d f rom Cit::ltham Dock bard a finely built steam-packet, for the I . '9't-officei named Gulnare, of 100 horse power. This ves•el is the irst built under a system of day work (recently introduced . by the Admiralty into the naval yards) during a period of fifty years. She has been completed, under the direction if an active and ze lous shipwright officer, in the short space of sixty-seven common working d iys, on the same slip from which the Waterloo was launched the 18th June last, thereby proving that the new mode of working 'he men will answer their Lordships' just expectations, if directed by active and zealous officers determined to do their duty. By the Crown, which has arrived off Liver pool, from Bengal, important information is expected by our commercial firms from Calcutta, but the letters will not be delivered until the morning. Montreal Papers to the 4th instant, inclusive, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. We are happy to learn by them that the crops have turned out much more abundant than was anticipated, and that the commercial transactions of this colony had considerably improved. All fur her anxiety upon the subject of the Upper Canadian Bank Charters appears to have subsided, it being under stood, through an official channel, that Mr. Stanley had seen through the impolicy of making those alterations in their charters which his predecessor in office hail con templated, and it was fully anticipated that this proj ec t, which appears to have caused much a'arin, will eventuall:e . be abandoned. We regret to learn that, in consequence cat the incorrect conduct of the agent appointed for the pur env of supplying the emigrants from the estate of Lord Egremont with the means which had been furnished for their settlement, many of these unfortunate people were left almost in a state of destitution, though it is to lie hoped that every exertion has been made to get them into employment. The Lord Nelson, a merchant vessel, which left Lisbon on the 18th inst., brings an account of the capture of the Lord of the Isles steam-ve..sel on the night of the I I th, by a gun-brig with forty men on board, belonging to the Queen. The steam-vessel was chartered from this country for the service of Miguel, and carried out from 25 to 30 French officers, who are presumed, for the account is silent respecting them, to have been landed at San Martinho, in which harbour the capture was effected, the vessel having subsequently been carried into the Tagus as a lawful prizes. The captain of the Lord of the Isles is said to have memorialized Lord William Russell on the subject of the capture, claiming the vessel as of English ownership, but he had not received any attention. The vessel will be an acquisition of some value for the service of the Queen, but seems to have had no warlike stores, or any articles of value on board. In the same letter which furnishes this intelli gence, it is stated that another attack was made on Li•bon on the 14th, in which the Miguelites were repulsed with time loss of 2,000 men ; but it has not obtained much credit, and, at all events, requires confirmation. No other letters have been received by the Lord Nelson, but there is nothing remarkable in this, as few persons write by the merchantmen, since the employment of steam packets on the Lisbon station. THE SLAVE INSURRECTIONIN CUBA.—We have received additional information with regard to this rebellion. It appears that 500 or 600 slaves had been smuggled in Africa, and landed at a place about 20 miles west of Havannab. Som e communication took place be tween them and the slaves on the neighbouring plantations, in which the former were given to understand that a grievous mortality was prevailing among the blacks on the island (cholera), and that it was occasioned by poison administered by the whites. This drove the new-comers to desperation, and thinking that they might as well die in one way as another, they rose upon their keepers and murdered them. On this intelligence being spread, a military captain, with two other persons, proceeded to the landing, in order to do away the impression prevailing among the insurgents, and bring them back to subordina tion. These men were also killed. A troop of cavalry, consisting of about 30 men, was then sent against the insurgents, who by this time had been joined by some of the slaves on the neighbouring plantations, and a battle ensued, in which a number of the blacks were killed, and also two officers and several privates of the troops. The remainder, finding their force insufficient to suppress the insurrection, retreated. A larger body was then si nt, who poured a terrible fire upon the insurgents, which killed from 400 to 500. The whole loss of the whites is stated at 30 or 40. At the date of the last accounts the rebellion was considered at an end. The negroes, we understand, had no weapons but clubs and stones.--New York Paper. OPORTO, SEPT. 9. A decree has been published, ordering every person, not military, taken in arm., to be tried by courtmartial, and, if guilty, to be at once executed ; but such is the vindictive and rancorous feeling existing in the Portuguese part of Don Pedro's army against the friars and guerillas, that scarcely an instance has occurred of any prisoner of this class having been brought in alive. Amongst the Scotch there appears to be a more humane feeling, in a great measure to be attributed to this little band being composed of men who have a character to lose, and who are great sticklers for their nation's pride; and also to the very good discipline their brave coinmander, Colonel Shaw, keeps them in. I wish a few more could be sent out, for these appear not to have been picked up in high roads and by-ways, but are a very superior class of men, and if joined by some of their countrymen, would no doubt prevent the horrid cruelties exercised by both parties, though, inJus tice, I must say the conduct of the Miguelites bas been such as in some measure to justify retaliation. One of the most respectable and influential of the Portuguese noblemen sent lately for Colonel Shaw, and stated to him that he was so much pleased with the bravery and quiet behaviour of his Scotchmen, that having large pos sessions at Santarem, near Lisbon, lie would, in the event of his regaining them from Miguel, be much obliged to him to select those of the best character, to whom he would give land, and offer inducements to settle upon his estate. This circumstance has had a very beneficial effect upon the men, and an arrangement has been made to send out immediately by steam SOO more Scotch to Portugal. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF CASH, JEWEL ' LIMY, &C. &c.—During the night of Sunday last, the house of Mr. Saul Levy, a watchmaker, silversmith, and jeweller, No. 18, Hardwiek-place, Commercial-road East, was burglariously entered, and robbed of cash and pro perty amounting to from 400/. to 500/. It appears from Ithe statement of Mr. Levy, that he and his family, con sisting of his wife, a young lady who is staying with them, and a servant, retired to bed about half-past eleven o'clock, an] on coming down stairs yesterday morning, between seven and eight, he discovered that the house had been en tered during the night by thieves, who had forced a pannel out of a door, which leads from a balcony into the back parlour, and from thence into the shop, and had carried away a vast quantity of his stock and property. Among the property stolen were-3 five•pouni notes of the Bank of England, 37 sovereigns and half-sovereigns, S g old watches, 25 silver watches, 16 table-spoons, IS tea - spoons, 6 gold chains, 76 ounces of coral, a great number_ of mourning and other rings, necklaces, bracelets, Scc., and a variety of old coins.
