the hospital at Antwerp, in consequence of his wounds. " His Majesty has lost in him an officer as skilful as he was brave and faithful. We were particularly intimate, and I regret him sincerely. " Baron CHASSE, the General of Infantry." By a subsequent despatch, General Chasse re• quested the Director• General of War to state to the King his warm gratitude for the honourable testi mony given by his Majesty to the conduct of the General, and the garrison of the citadel. To his despatch was joined the order of the day addressed upon that occasion to the garrisons of the citadel of Antwerp end the forts dependent on it, as well as to the naval forces of his Majesty in the Scheldt before Antwerp. " ORDER OF THE DAY. " Companions in Arms,—ln fulfilling his duties, it is assuredly to the soldier the most noble reward to receive the assurance that his conduct is ap proved by his Sovereign. "This is the case with Us. Companions in arms, it is with the greatest satisfaction that I inform you of it. The King has been satisfied with your con duct during the siege : the whole of the defence has answered the just expectations of his Majesty. He has taken the most lively interest in the fate of so many brave men, who have shed their blood for their country, and who have supported with resig nation en many fatigues and privations. " Wishing to give a proof of his satisfaction with me personally, and in my person to the whole garri son of the citadel of Antwerp, his Majesty has, by en arret of the 25th instant, appointed me a Grand Cross of the Military Order of William. His Ma jesty will besides receive with pleasure the propo sitions which will be made to him to grant rewards. " Companions in arms ! We have fulfilled our task with honour ; if the holy cause of our country is momentarily deprived of the aid of our arms, our hearts will ever be d. voted to it ; the proof is given of what may s till b e expected from as, whatever sacrifice it may cost us. " Boron CHASSE, the General of Infantry. " Citadel of Antwerp, Dec. 27, 1832." The closing price of the Dutch Funds (Actual Debt) at Amsterdam on Monday was 421. RIOT AT WAINFLEET. A riot of an alarming character, and which had nearly been attended with loss of life, occurred at Wainfleet on Saturday evening last. About 300 bankers, or navigators, are employed on a new na vigation near Burgh, who have committed nume rous depredations upon the property of the farmers in the neighbourhood; but their lawless and out rageous attack upon the persons and property of the peaceable inhabitants of Wainfleet is so flagrant and unprovoked, that the inhabitants, who are in danger of their lives, ought instantly to petition the Home Secretary to remove the soldiers from their useless position at Boston, to Wainfleet, Burgh, and the neighbourhood, where they may be of real service. Early in the day about seventy of these semi-savages arrived at Wainfleet, where they re mained " randying," as they term drinking, mak ing no secret of their intentions. They were joined in the afternoon by about thirty more. They com menced operations about seven o'clock, by driving all the market people and others out of the Angel Inn, using the most horrid language, and threatening to murder all who opposed them. Nor was this a mere threat, for Mr. Manlkinson, the landlord of the Angel, was knocked down, and very seriously in jured by one of them, who used either a plank-hook or tool. They then rushed out into the street, hold ing up their tools and cheering, and threatening to knock down all before them. Of course the inhabi tants were struck with consternation at the appearance of 100 athletic men, brandishing their formidable and deadly weapons,which were all brighr,while they rent the air with the most horrid imprecations, and most beastly and murderous threats. About twenty rushed into the shop of • Mr. Webster, butcher, whom they struck, but did not materially injure. They then paid a visit to Mr. Hubbert, a draper, before whose shop they gave three cheers, crying, " Now for it." One of them, however, exclaimed, " We've done enough," and they then went away without committing any depredations. They shortly returned again, but were again prevented by one of the mob, who said, " I know Hubbert's a real good fellow." The constable, aided by the principal in habitants, in the mean time were not inactive; they resisted them, using forks and such other weapons as they could procure, and about ten o'clock they had succeeded in dispersing and driving them from the town. A party of about twenty inhabitants then took horse and went in pursuit of the fugitives, who were in full retreat in all directions. Just outside the town three bankers were captured, having in their possession three geese they had just killed, and which have been identified. Proceeding to Burgh, they apprehended eight more, and in all about 40 were made prisoners. The Rev. T. H. Rawnsley, who had been sent for from Spilsby, promptly attended, and that night 21 in a waggon, and five in a cart, were escorted to Spilsby, where they were safely lodged in the gaol. Eleven or twelve more were next day sent to join them. The cowardice of these men is only equalled by their brutality—an old man actually kept the whole party at bay some time by presenting a fork which he held in his hand.—Lincolnshire Chronicle. On Monday the Academy of Sciences in Paris held its first sitting this year, when a letter was read from M. VALZ, Director of the Observatory of Nis• mes, informing the Academy that on the 25th of last December he obtained a good observation of Biela's comvt, whose revolution of six years and thr.e quarters has suffered a trifling diminution from a perturbation occa sioned by the planet Venus. The cornet, the light of which was then so vsry faint as to be scarc,ly perceptible, has notfiten seen since. A British officer, writing to a friend, thus speaks of the island of Ceylon, which it has been the fashion to cry up as a paradise :—" I am dying with im patience to return to the only country I am fully persuaded is worth living in. The beat of this climate is insuffer able : it positively annihilates a man. It is true we have a magnificent country, richly wooded and watered ; ena melled with a thousand flowers, abounding in all the ne cessaries of life—a brilliant sun, a sweet moon (as a lady said to me the other night); but then we have elephants, tigers, serpents, scorplons, alligators, leeches, tarantulas— and the heat ! my dear nothing out of the infernal re gions can equ,il it ; and yet there are people here, and elsewhere, who talk in raptures of Ceylon, and who would nut return to England on any account. The only wish I have here is to be iced, and to have every tooth in my head loosened by a sow wester. Sometimes, by the by, I have a longing for a mouthful of London fog, and to be up to my neck in the Thames. I would give sun, moon, the seven stars, and the southern crop to boot, for a beef ste,k and oyster sauce in place. After all, what the devil is there in a tropical climate so very attractive ? Brilliant nights! I have not dept for hours together since I have been in Ceylon, from the annoyance of heat and musqui. toes.—Sherborne Journal. ELECTION ANECDOTE.—The following anecdote is too good to be lost at any, but more especially the present, moment; and it will, I hope, be a beacon by which all country gentlemen who for the future may be aspirants to the honours of " Knights of the Shire" will steer their course :— Seven Wiltshire Yeomen were met the other day by a friend of mine on the road to the poll, and after some mutual discussion about the last week's sport, &c., the very natural question arose of " Who are ye going to vote for?"—" Why, So-and-so," was the answer.—" Surely that can never be," replied my friend ; " ye are all of ye opposed point blank to his politics."--- " Ay, Sir, and we be only going to support him because he preserves foxes!" —Sporting Magazine. THE MURDER AT SUTTON, NEAR RET FORD —On Monday last the Coroner's inquest again as sembled pursuant to adjournment, and during the day two or three individuals who had been apprehended on sus picion were examined at considerable length, but we are sorry to say without effect, and the whole of them were liberated. A reward of 2001. has'been offered, one-half by the friends of the deceased, and the other by Govern ment, with a promise of his MAJESTY'S pardon to any ac complice not having been an actual perpetrator of the mur der. Cheat hopes are still entertained that some clue will be obtained whereby the murderers may be brought to justice. The inquest again adjourned until Monday next. smntres WELLS. The capital pantomime at this ?muse continues to run its career of fun and frolic, without the least abatement ofspirit on the part of the performers, or uproarious approbation on that of the audience; particularly the "juveniles," on whose account it has been most judiciously placed in the second course.—lncluding its masterly Panorama and the Japanese Dancers, we do not think that any holiday enter tainment produced this season can be more attractive. Peter Pringle, which was the first piece, was most respectably played, and, in the performance of Mrs. Pringle, we Were glad to see that Mrs. YouNax had resumed her old station at this theatre. A musical melodrame, in three acts, entitled Serbelloni, or the Forest of Friuli, which was the last piece, excited great interest, from the altecting nature of its incidents ; which turn on the accu sation, upon strong circumstantial evidence, of a youthful peasant, of an attempt to assassinate his Lord, the Duke Alberti. The real assassin is Count Montaldi, the Duke's relative, who, having been impoverished at the gaming tables of Venice, takes the opportunity of the Duke's re turn from the wars to lay wait for, and murder him, in the forest ; hoping, that as he is childless, he himself will thereby succeed to the Dukedom. But the most interesting portion of this piece is the trial scene, where the Duhe, declining to preside in a cause in which he himself is a party, resigns the judicial seat to his cousin, Montaldi, the real criminal. Here, we gladly seize the opportunity of giving our meed of appro bation to the capital manner in which Mr. CAMPBELL, as Count Montaldi, conducted the examination of the un happy, but innocent, youth ; and we do so with more pleasure, as his action and expression, on this occasion, were so much more natural than the attitudinizing man. nerism which usually characterizes this performer of the old school, of the QUINS and the Alossors. Miss FORDE'S performance of Julian, the peasant boy, warrants an opinion, which we bad already formed, viz., that singing and comedy are not the only walks in which this highly gifted lady is calculated to shine. Her asseverations of innocence, and her appeal to the Court, as well as to her Judge, who is so eager to condemn her, were most effective and affecting. The musical portions of the piece were very ably executed by Misses Forme, SOMERVILLE, &c., and Messrs. HUNT and WILLIAMS. The duett, by Miss SOMERVILLE and Mr. HUNT, was a treat, indeed. We must not conclude without noticing the comic relief thrown into this melo-drame, by the able performances of Messrs. WILLIAMS and GRAHAM ; nor a rural dance, in which Mr. SUTTON and Miss GRIFFITHS (the Harlequin and Columbine of the pantomime) displayed much agility and grace; indeed, Miss GRIFFITHS is one of the most modest and elegant Columbines we remember ever to have seen.

In the report from the Select Committee of the House of Lords on the state of the West India Colonies, there is " An Account of the value of the exports and imports of each of the said colonies, estimated in sterling money, to gether with the number of ships, the tonnage, and total number of men employed, according to the latest return furnished by the Colonial Department (13th April last) ;" from which it appears " the whole trade of them may be stated for one year as follows:" EXPORTS Value .X 8,394,484 Value £4,530,908 hips 5,448 Ships 4,458 Tons Men The estimated annual value of the productions of our West India Colonies is thus stated in the report from the elect Committee of the House of Lords in August last, viz. :--- IMPORTS.

It produced one of the most sudden and extensive depreciations in value we ever recollect to have occurred in any similar description of property; the stock of the company, which was on Thursday 116, having been quoted on Friday at 76, a fall of 40 per cent. The fact is in some degree creditable to all concerned in tbe ma nagement of the company, since, had they chosen to spe culate on it, by disposing of their shares, for the purpose of buying in at a lower price, the fall would have been more eradual. To the proprietors generally such an announce tnent seems to have been quite unexpected, though what has occured in other corporations of the same kind should have prepared them for it. As evidence of a decline in the trade of the port of London, the fact neces•arily de mand.; some notice. We understand that the directors of the West India Dock Company ascribe their deficiency of profit, to a certain extent, to the interruptions which busi ness experienced during the existence of the cholera atnongst.us ; besides which some stress is without doubt to be laid on the diminished rate of charge, which active competition among the dock companies has produced_-a circumstance which, though beneficial to the public at large, must materially have affected their gains ; and there is further an increased portion of our trade, which, fur convenience of locality, cheapness, and other causes, is gradually finding its way to the outports. We understand that the directors of the West India Dock Company have wisely adapted themselves to the altered state of things, and made such a dividend as the actual profits will warrant, not at all trenching on those of the half-year which is to come—a precaution which has not always been bad re course to under similar circumstances. We learn, by the advices from Stockholm, that the King of SWEDEN was about to reduce the ex penses of his Ambassadors 10 per cent. DISCOVERY AND APPREHENSION OF COlNERS.—Yesterday afternoon, Inspector LINCOLN, of E division of police, received information that a gang of coiners were in the habit of frequenting a low hovel in Kennedy's-court, St. Giles's, where coining was carried on to a great extent, and that individuals connected with the delinquents were there engaged in their nefarious pur suits. LINCOLN, in company with WILsoN, of the same division, proceeded to the place, and, after waiting an op portunity, saw an old woman enter the door, and they instantly entered and proceeded cautiously to the first floor front room, the door of which was fastened ; they heard female voices in the inside, and they immediately forced au entrance, and found two women seated by a large fire ; a large metal spoon, such as is used in making counterfeit coin, was lying en the hob, and a incited piece of Dutch-metal was on the hearth. One of the women, who was recognised as the wife of Paddy FLYNN, the noted pugilist, exclaimed, on seeing the officers, " We are done." A bad shilling was found on the old woman, who took something from the hob and put it into her mouth. LINCOLN immediately seized both the females, and ordered WILSON to search her mouth, on doing which ten counterfeit shillings were taken out. Piaster-of-Paris and other implements were also found in the room. The prisoners were last night taken to Hatton-garden police office, and examined before Mr. Sergeant SELLON, when they denied the charge, saying that they had been tre panned. They gave their names MEARS and FLYNN. The husband of the latter was transported for life, having been the second in a prize-fight in which the St. Giles's champion was killed. The prisoners were remanded. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WAR.OFFICE, JAN. 11, 1833. , 3d Regiment of Dragoon Guards—Captain E.

Sftt WALTER SCOTT.—A worthy corre spondent on the other side of the Atlantic, has taken the trouble to forward for our perusal a copy of an Address, delivered on the arrival of the news of Sir WALTER Scores death, near the " Waverley Rock," in the village of Ca nanduaigua, New York, on the evening of the 7th No vember I k -d—, b y GEORGE W. CLINTON, Esq. The Ad dress offers the regrets of America to Scotland under her great bereavement, and is characterised throughout by much pathos of language, expressive of heartfelt grief at the demise of the illustrious poet and novellist. The vil lage bells, on the arrival of the news of " Waverley's" death, struck his years at twelve o'clock. A superb ban ner, with the emblems of Scotland, England, Ireland, and America waved over the Rock, which is encircled by a belt of bi a-is, on which are engraved the names of SHAK SPEARE, MILTON, PorE, RICHARDSON, JOHNSON, SWIFT, STERNE, BURKE, ROSCOE, CURRIE, BURNS, BYRON, Mrs. HEMANS, HANNAH MOORE, and JANE PORTER. Atnericans—DE WITT CLINTON, COOPER, WASHINGTON IRVINC, and Miss SEnavvwx•---Scotsman. The present situation of the wine trade, we should imagine, will demand the early attention of the Vice President of the Board of Trade, as the equalization of the duties and the unsettled state of affairs i❑ Portugal have reduced every department of this branch of commerce to severe embarrassment. It is reported that the trade will take some immediate steps to call the attention of Parliament to their case. COURT CIRCULAR. A meeting of several of the Cabinet Ministers took place yesterday at the residence of Viscount Atanoar, in Downing•street. .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. was much gratified at reading your account of the presentation of a piece of plate to Mr. Elphinstone, at Hastings. I hope it is not usual for Members to he Reformers there and lukewarm elsewhere, for I perceived one of them on the hustings at Ramsgate, and, although pressed to vote for the Reform Candidates, neither him self nor Gardner, who are freeholders, could he prevailed on. I hope, Sir, the electors of Hastings will be equal lovers of consistency with, Ramsgate, January 11, 1833. Yours, &c., A TRUE REFORMER. We understand that the time fixed for the final departure of the Court from Brighton is the 21st of February.—Brighton Gazette. His Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT and _ _ the Marchioness of ANCLESEA gave a private ball and supper at Dublin Castle, on Monday evening, on a splen did scale. There were about two hundred persons present. The entertainments clinmenced with a juvenile ball; after which the parents of the children formed quadrille parties, and kept it up until nearly one o'clock, when supper was announced for the adults, the juveniles having supped at eleven. The whole concluded shortly after two. The Marchioness gave a concert yesterday evening to a select party. Died on Thursday morning, at nine o'clock, at Portsmouth, Sir THOMAS FOLEY, G.C.8., Admiral of ti e White, Rear-Admiral of Great Britain, and Port- Admiral at Portsmouth. The Queen of the BELGIANS is officially an nounced as being in the way "That Ladies wish to be who love their Lords." It really would be a great accommodation to the public if his Grace the Duke of RICHMOND would permit the boxes for the reception of newspapers at the branch post offices to remain open until six o'clock in the evening, instead of closing at five. This arrangement, it is thought, would not produce any inconvenience at St. Martin's-le. Grand. We regret to announce the death of the Right Hon. Lord BLANEY ; a letter was received in town yes terday, announcing his Lordship's decease, at his seat in the county of Monaghan. This causes a vacancy in the representation of Monaghan, his Lordship's eldest s .n, the Hon. CADWALLADER BLAYNEY, having been lately re turned. HENRY RICHARDSON, Esq., of Aber- Hirnant, Merionethshire, has within the last two years enclosed upwards of 1,600 acres from the Berwyn-hills ; a large portion of this land has been planted, other parts drained, push-ploughed, and brought into tillage, and has produced extraordinary returns in white and green crops, particularly barley, oats, flax, turnips, and potatoes; build ings have been erected, and bullocks are stalled, and flocks of wethers are fattening on the produce of land which was never before considered worth Is. an acre. On Thursday last upwards of 100 persons, Mr. flictrAftosoN's tenants and labourers, sat down to a substantial Christmas dinner in a new barn on the mountain of Maes.Hir ; the Welsh harp sounded on the wild hill side, and the day was pas•.ed in harmony and hilarity. The landlord's health was drank with enthusiasm and sincerity—for the blessings conse quent on employment were fully appreciated by the indus trious class assembled. We hope this judicious example will be followed.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. TRIUMPH OF REFORM IN DENBIGHSHIRE. —On Monday last the triumph of constitutional prin ciples, in the return of ROBERT MYDDELTON BIDDULPII, Esq., as the second representative of the county of Den bigh—to the rejection of the Hon. LLOYD KENYON— was celebrated by a public dinner at the Wynstay'Arms, Wrexham, to which the Hon. Member and .1. MADOCKS, Esq., of Glan-y-were, who succeeded Mr. BIDDULFII in the representation of the Denbighshire boroughs, were invited. The chair was taken by RonenT MYDDELTON LLOYD, Esq., hanker, of Wrexham, supported on his right by Mr. Bloneustr, M.P., and on his left by Mr. MA DOCKS, M.P. The company consisted of a numerous body of the independent and patriotic electors of the county. THE LIFE OF A SAILOR.--44 This work is a very worthy and a very entertaining successor to the ' Younger Son,' whose Adventures' issued some time back from the same publisher's establishment. It is full of daring exploits and hazardous escapes, and will be con sidered one of the best among naval stories of the kind. Many of the most stirring scenes of the late war are here described, and portraits drawn of naval heroes, whose names are like household worlds to every Englishman, but of none is the character more attractive than of Sir PETER PARKER, who is represented as meriting all the eulogy of Lord BYRON'S pen."—Brighton Gazette. So greatly is the foreign trade of the port of Gloucester on the increase that most of the European Maritime Powers have recently appointed agents tbere.— Worcester Journal. The mildness of the present season has been seldom equalled in the early part of the month of January; in various places the banks are bedecked with primroses; the wild strawberry is attaining to maturity, and the hedge rows begin to unfold their verdant foliage. A sprig of hawthorn, with its white and lovely blossoms just expand ing, was this day brought to our office, gathered in the woods of Sir B. P. WREY, Bart. —NorthDevon Journal. A correspondent says, " A trick was lately played off at Barnstaple market, where a person bad bought an apparently fine plump goose, but on preparing it for stuffing, it was found already stuffed, not, however, with sage and onions, but with rags ! It appears that the same species of low cunning has found its way into our own market. On the Saturday before Christmas a gentleman purchased a couple of middle-sized geese in preference to a very large one (as he had before been itn. posed on with old birds). The next day, when his cook examined the geese, she found the plumpest stuffed with a large rag, which, perhaps, was not the only trick played in a market abounding with much poultry. The buyer, out of curiosity, but without suspicion, had asked the sellers (who appeared to be a young man and his wife) where they resided : they answered at Rtminstel."— Taunton Courier. LITERATURE.
