H er conduct affords further evi tolice that it would be madness in this country th4lnndon her ancient commercial system, under we eXpectation that so generous an example °Uld be followed by foreign Powers. We should rain destroy that policy Which has etc-1 waled England to her present eminence in corn .mercial prosperity and naval power, and relin quish the solid advantages which we possess for . , the empty 'promises held out in the theoretical peculations of a few visionary modern econo mists. We repeat, that the principles on which their system is founded, though true in the ab stract, is wholly inapplicable to the existing cir cumstances of England, and could only be produc tive of disappointment and ruin in its practical effects. The only practicable means of improv ing our foreign commerce is economy in the pub lic expenditure, reduction of taxett, and such an extension of scientific power as shall enable our manufacturers to enter into a successful compe ition with the manufacturers of other countries. Even this, the most sure course of improvement for our foreign commerce, might possibly be de feated, —and from the disposition manifested by foreign Governments we fear would be defeated, by the imposition of further import duties on the admission of our goods into their ports. The best, safest, and most humane policy of Eng land, whether as respects the operations of the Government, or the enterprise of the people, is to cultivate the inexhaustible resources presented by her domestic industry and, colonial posses sions. These are the true and solid bases on which the vast fabric of her prosperity and power may permanently be placed. His MAJEsTY, we are assured, desirous of gratifying the Public in general, gave orders himself for the opening of the Theatres, and the fire-works in Hyde Park, on the day of the Coro nation. This gracious regard to the enjoyment of the People, while his mind might be supposed to be wholly intent on the arduous labours which he was to undergo on that day, cannot but endear him, if possible, still more to the hearts of his subjects. It is indeed manifest that his MA JESTY is anxious to succeed his revered father in the full inheritance of popular affection, as well as in all the rights and honours of the Empire. It is expected that his MAJESTY will not leave town before Monday next, when "he certainly proceeds to Brighton.—(;'liorning Paper.) BRIGHTON, JULY 25.—1 t is said to be our most gracious SovErtmaN's intention to be at the Pavilion on Saturday. The town, as may well be supposed, are in high spirits in consequence. The whole of the grand suite of apartments, we find, are getting ready, and will be in suitable condition for Royal use at the time specified. It is also rumoured, and, perhaps accurately, that his MAJESTY purposes giving a splendid enter tainment here to all the Foreigners of distinc tion in the country, prior to his embarkation for Ireland. A few of the Royal domestics,- and the individuals of the KING'S Private Band, re turned to this place yesterday, and others are expected to be here this evening and to-morrow. 1.) I:ATI! OF ALDERMAN ROTII;ELL.—The wor thy Alderman, after a severe illness, died yester day morning at half-past three, at his house at Clapham. Ills death occasions a vacancy for the Ward of Cheap. He was chosen Alderman, in the room of the late Alderman GOOD BEII ERE, in the year 1819, and served the office of Sheriff for the City of London in 1820. AFFAIR OF JloNouß.—A duel took place in Dublin on Friday evening, between an English Gentleman P—y, and a Capt. C G, which terminated happily, after the exchange of two shots, each second having interfered. To the military reductions which we announced yesterday, report adds the 18th hussars, 19th lancers, 2d Ceylon regiment, and two West India regiments ; one battalion of the• Royals and one of the 60th is also mentioned. The re duction of the companies is stated at five men each company.—(Morning Paper.) Mr. K EMBLE.—A very fine bust of this cele brated Tragedian has just been executed by Mr. CHARLES WESTMACOTT. The expression of the countenance is of a calm and contemplative cha racter, and its fidelity to nature will easily be re cognised by all who have seen the original on those ordinary occasions when the features, though not kindled by passion,' yet gave the strongest indi cation of the fire of genius. The drapery is in the Roman style, and disposed with classical taste and precision. The performance is certainly very creditable to Mr. WEsTmAcoTT, and will, we doubt not, serve to enhance his reputation as an artist. ELECTION FOE. TIIE WARD OF BASSISIIAW.— Yesterday, at the close of the Poll; the numbers' were— For Mr. Henry Hughes - Mr. William Lister - ' - - 17 Majority for Mr. Hughes - -2. Mr. HUGHES returned thanks in an appropriate speech for the support they had given him. - Mr. LtsTEn, in returning thanks, attributed the low state of the poll to the inhabitants having kept back, and his loss of the election to several per sons who would have turned the scale, not having come forward as they promised him. No other proceedings took place, and the Wardmote separated. The Highlander, at the Coronation, alluded to in a late paragraph, entitled, " Mysterious Circumstance," was a Mr. MCNAUGHTEN, llighland costume.—( Herald.) A young man fresh from the Grammar School, being en a visit to one of his comrades in the country, went with him bird-catching. When the snare was prepared and they were waiting for the arrival of their intended prey, the scholar perceived a flight of them at hand, and im mediately hallooed out in Latin, " Adsunt !" that is, " Here they come!" The birds being scared away by this unseasonable address, his companion expostulated with him on the oc casion. "My good friend, (replied the astonish ed scholar), who could have thought these ignor ant birds would have understood Latini'" • CHILL MASSACRE of the MAsTEn and PATtT of the CREW of the . Ship Or: LEY, of London, at the ISLAND of ST. MARY'S, on the COAST of CHILI. " On Saturday, February 24, 1821, at 10 A.M., saw several men, 6 or 8, on the Island of St. Mary's. Captain I.IALE3 supposing those men to have come over from the main for the purpose of trading, as they usually did, went on .shore with a boat's crew, armed with cutlasses and pistols, for the purpose of procuring refreshments for the use of his shin. On their land ing, these men, supposed to be Spaniards, ran away behind th beach, and our boat's crew after them.—Sunday 25. Sun down.. Boat not returned—all on board-felt anxious for the safety of the Captain and crew. At 6h. 30 in. P.M. sent the third mate on shore to launch the Captain's boat, and bring her of 7th do. the third mate returned, informing us there were several men on the beach, and from their movements supposed there were more behind the beach, and being dusk he judged it most proper not to attempt landing. The Chief Mate 'immediately armed the boat, and sent her off with orders to lay as near as possible abreast of the Captain's boat, but not on any account to land.— At day-light, perceived the boat was missing—the night being dark, it was supposed they had carried her up behind the beach.-5 A.M: boat returned on board at 8 h. 30 m.—armed taaa boats, the one headed by the Chief Mate, the other by the third Mate, and went on shore. On coming near the beach they perceived a man naked, sitting on the bench—on coming up to him they discovered him to be THOMAS MOORE, armonrer, covered with blood. He wr:s perfectly sensible, and informed their': that on their first landing the Spaniards appe:red very friendly, t4ving them' bread And meat flifterWards they per suaded them to deliver up their arms, bound them 2 and 2, and car ried them about 3 milesmto the Island aafter that they brought them back nearer to'the beach amongst sdrue bush es,and as soon as i4was dark, they stripped them, and put them all to death, except ing him, whom they left for dead, having received twenty-three spear wounds in his body, and two sabre cuts, one on each. side. of the neck. He was immediately brought on hoard, when examined him, and found that his lungs had. been pierced upwards through the diaphragm, on each side ; he told me he. counted twenty,tive men just prior to their being murdered.— Soon after the beats returned, a great number of men, supposed to be about fifty, were seen coming towards the beach; soon after wards a man presented himself, dressed in the Captain's clothes,. and waved his hat for a boat to come on shore ; he was accom panied by three or four„ who appeared to be officers in green uniform, avidt cocked hats and sabres; the rest we could dis cover lying behind the beach. The man on the beach appeared so much like Captain Khans, that I questioned 'the armourer whether he was positive the Captain was killed ; he assured niche was, and said the captain or leader of the Spaniards very much resembled Captain IraaEs, as to outward appearance; that he had) remarked it when on shore. We immediately weighed anchor, and .stood for Conception.—At 5, P.M. the armourer much worse ; 9th do. departed this life."

NAVAL ANECDOTg.---WhEll the brave Admiral K EMPEN FELT, unhappily lost iu the Ro,yal George, was coming into port, to havo his ship paid off, a sailor eyed a gold-laced velvet waistcoat which his commodore wore, with great earnestness, and in his best sea fashion begged to know who made it ; the Admiral perceiving his drift, gave him the necessary information, and Jack went ashore. He forthwith applied to the Admiral's tailor, who, knowing the humours of his customers, went with him to buy the materials, and at last asked him what he would have the back made of. "Made of ?" said Jack, " the same as the front, to be sure." The tailor remonstrated with - him, but in vain : so the 'waist coat was made, and put on with an old greasy jacket over it. One day, the Admiral met his man in this curious dress, which occasioned him to laugh heartily ; and • his merry fit was not a little increased when Jack, coming up to him, lifted up the hind part of his jacket, and, showing his gold-laced back, exclaimed, cell,• n me, old boy, no false colours! stem and stern alike."

The'Corouation of His MAJESTY ING G EORGE the FookTn, THE GRAND PATRON of our ORDER, was celebrated at Cork, on the 10th Instant, with the utmost, splendour and festivity. The day had been selected for performing the cere mony of laying the foundation, stone of the New Bridge over the_ Lee, which is to connect more nearly - the city of 'Cork with the Southern - abd Western division s of the county. The fraternity, bore a conspicuous part in the proceedings on this festive and auspicious occasion, and gave ample proof of their loyalty and inviolable attachment to the person of their most illustrious GRAND PATnos, who Was at the male moment completing the covenant between himself and his people, and cementing, by the most sacred ties, their ,reciprocal relations. The day was observed as a festival throughout the City. All business was suspended, and the people seemed to give them selves up to the joy and enthusiasm of.the moment. —The Morning was ushered in by the bells of Shandon and the Cathedral ringing a merry 'peal, which they continued to do at intervals through out the day. The ships in the river were deco rated at an early hour.with a variety of flags and streamers 7 -the colours of every nation floated in our harbour, and the banner of the United King dom waved ofi all our public edifice& A large , distribution of bread and meat took place at the Mansion-House to the heads of fifty poor fami lies. None were permitted to partake of the bounty who had not a family of six children, so that upwards of 300 individuals were relieved by this liberal and considerate act of the MA von, who assisted at the distribution himself.

The ProcessiOn was joined at the Exchange by the Mayor and Corporation:dressed in their Robes of Office, the Aldermen in their Red Robes, and the Burgesses in their Black Gowns. —The Corporation f.. 11 in immediately after the Grand Lodge, who advan - ced (after the Junior Lodge at the head had reached the door of St. Peter's Church) between the files of all the other Lodges, and entered the Church. . The Corporation of Coopers also joined in the Procession, one of the body carrying a satin flag, on which the Arins of the trade were highly emblazoned. The body of Free Masons was so numerous, that they extended from . the Church to the Exchange, through the North Main -street. An appropriath and eloquent discourse was delivered by Dr. Burrows, the Dean of Cork, who took his text from the 2d chap. Ist and 2d verses of the Fpistle. of Paul the Apostle to Timothy. It had been : arranged, that after Service the Pro , cession was was to proceed , through the South Main-street to the South Mall, where it was expected the Garrison would fire, but in consequence of a general order that the Garrison should fire at noon, this route was altered, and the Pro cession advanced up the North Main-street, along Kyrl's quay, Coal-quay, Merchant's-quay, Warren's-quay, up th e SOuth Mall, along, the Grand-Parade, up the New Street, and 'to the Mardyke by. Nile-street. In the North Main street, after - leaving the Church, the -Body of Journeymen Coopers joined the Procession, cheering the \fasters'as they. passed. They also had a Flag: with an appropriate device, and made a very respectable and decent 'appearance, each man hav ing a sprig of Oak in his hat. The mulaitude.that filled . the streets at this period was immense. . It was with the utmost difficulty 'the PrOcession could move through the mass of people which met it at all Points, and yet we are happy to anncrance, that not the smallest accident occurred, during the whole of this festiire day and night.—Much credit is due to the quiet and orderly conduct of the. few Dragoons who were appOint ed to make way for the 'Cavalcade ; they behaved with the greatest propriety, thoughoftentnnes pressed upon by the crowd. The procession then proceeded up the Mardyke to the new road and the temporary bridge across the south branch of the Lee, where the new stone edifice is about to be erected : minute guns during the time being: discharged from the top of the New Building at the County Gaol, which was also decorated with several flags and streamers, and , from the tower of Mr. Mannix, at Suneay's Well. Here every thing was arranged for laying the foundation stone of the new Bridge, and the Master, War• den, and Officers of the Grand Lodge, and the Mayor and prin. cipat Members of the Corporation, proceeded to the spot, when the usual ceremOnies commenced. The Grand Master having taken his station at the east of the stone, with the Mayor on his left, and his Wardens in the west, the Overseer who car ried the square delivered it to the Mayor,' who preheated it to the Grand Master, and he:having applied it to that part of the stove which was squared, returned it back to the. Overseer. The plumb was then delivered to the Grand Master in a sinrilkii manner, and he having applied it to the edges of the stone, de livered it back to the Overseer, by viluen the level was delivered to the Mayor, who also presented it to the Grand Master, whh applied it above the stone in several positions, and returned it back to the Overseer. The mallet was then presenthd to the Grand Blaster, who gave three knocks upon the stone, which was followed by three buzzes from the Breen :3:on and the assembled multitude. The Cornucopia was then delivered to the Mayor, and the silver vessels, contain. ing the wine and oil, to the Wardens. The Mayor then pre sented the Cornucopia to the Grand Blaster, who turned cut the ears of corn upon the stone, after which the silver vessels were delivered by the Wardens to the Mayor, and by him presented to the Grand Master, who poured the contents upon the stone, saying, " May the bountiful hand of Heaven " supply this city with abundance of corn, wine, and oil, tied " all the 'other conveniences of life." Music was then heard, and repeated cheerings. The Grand Master afterwards repeated these words :—" As we have now laid this foundation-stone, " may the grand Architect of the Universe, of his kind provil " dence, enable us to carry on and finish the work which W'e ".have- now begun ; may He be a guard to this-place and-the ",city in general; and may he preserve it from decay and ruin " to, the latest posterity." The Mayor then advanced, and said, that having the honour of being appointed by the Overseers to name the Bridge, he was happy to give his aid, at such an auspicious period, to any work of such general utility, which opened so direct and convenient a communication be tween this city and the Southern and Western portiots of this county, which increased the facilities of the countty of bringing its produce to market—and also tended thereby to augment the trade of the city—,both of which must be advanced by any undertaking that had such an object in view ; he there fore took advantage of the present auspicious occasion whiCh , assembled them together, to name the present Edifice, " The. Bridge .of George the Fourth."--Twenty-one rounds were then fired from three pieces of cannon, which were placed in the camp-field, and the ceremony was concluded with a short prayer . for the Sovereign, the' Corporation of the City, the 'fraternity of Maims, and all the People.--Te Procession then returned in the same order, and •by the' same route, to the Exchange, after which the different Lodges• withdrew to their respective Lodge Rooms. The Master. Coopers returned to their Hall at the Crown Tavern, and the. remainder of the day was passed with that festivity and hat.- mony which at all times distinguish meetings of the fraternity,' and which the happy occasion that then called them together seemed if possible to heighten. 'We think that the selection of this day for the interesting ceremony in which, the craft were called upon to lend their fraternal assistance, was particularly judicious; and the numerous attendance' of the Brethren, and the fervent and enthusiastic loyalty which they evinced through out the proceedings, must be highly gratifying to their ILLUS-. TRIOITS GRAND PATRON, and, at the same time, convince him that though he is now called to a higher station, and has more arduous duties to perform: than that ot presiding over us, we do net forgot, and are not ungrateful for the cheerful and.. afEible attention which he at all times displayed in the manage.-: meat of the Craft, and that n shall exer.reyerence.thehiNisibih . ties by which we are allied to Him, in addition to thhse that bind us to Him as good and loyal subjects.
