with a number of other respectable indiviAuals, the following masters of lodges, ,with their wardens and brethren, attended upon this occasion : The Master of Mary's Chapel, Edinburgh. The Master of Canongate Kilwinning, Edinburgh. The Master of Journeymen, Edinburgh. The Master of St. David's, Edinburgh. The Master of St. Andrew's, Edinburgh. The Master of St. James', Edinburgh. The Master of New Edinburgh Kilwinning. l'he Master of Roman Eagle, Edinburgh. The Master of Hopetoun Lodge, Bathgate. The Master of St. Thomas. i'luirkirk. The Master of Trafalgar Lodge Leith. The Master of Celtic Lodge, Edinburgh and Leith. IRELAND. In presenting our readers, for the first time,-.vith the Masonic Notices for Ireland, we feel it to be our duty to state, that there are no less than 1020 Lodges, holding under the constitution of the Grand Lodge of Ireland, and in regular communication To regulate a body so extensive, it is obvious that the greatest energy, vigilance, and firmness are requisite ; and. it is highly gratifying to us to be enabled to assure our Brethren in England, that the documents in our possession amply tes tify the excellent manner in which the Fraternity in Ireland is governed, rind their affairs conducted. • 'We also present our readers, for the first time, with lists of the Officers, both of the GRAND LonGE which meets Eit Nor zison7s Hotel, Nassau-street, Dublin, and of the Grand Lodge of the Province of Munster, which meets in the Masonic Hall at the - Orphan Asylum, Cork. These lists chew that our Brethren in the Sister Kingdom are not less fortunate than the Fraternity in England, in enjoying the patronage and protec tion of individuals of the highest rank and consideration. It appears that a list of all the Lodges under the constitu tion of Ireland, with the names of the Masters and Wardens,' is annually compiled, and sent with a list of the Grand Officers, and a statement of the erasures, suspensions, expulSions, and restorations which have taken place during the preceding year, to the Master of every Lodge, so that the whole Masonic body there know the exact state of that part of the Craft with which it is more immediately connected. This plan we highly ap- 7 prove, as we have no doubt - that it very essentially contributes to insure the election of efficient and respectable Officers, and to render, every Brother attentive to his duties as a man and mason, by reminding him periodically that any neglect of them will be visited with that punishment which it deserves, and that his name will, in that event, be held up . to his Brethren as that of an individual who has forfeited his title to fraternal regard, by having deviated from that course of propriety and rectitude which our system so emphatically points out, or as having vio lated obligations which every moral and honourable man must obey and respect.

SOLEM QUIS DICERS FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, THURSDAY; DEC TIBER 6, 1821. A 11 the gunpowder which was in the. possession of merchants or traders in Cork and Limerick has been'removed, by order of Government, into the KING'S stores, and receipts given to the se spective proprietors for the amount. The neces sity of this prudent measure is apparent from the fact, alleged on " indisputable authority," by the Dublin Papers, that upwards of two hundred and thirty barrels of gunpowder had been recently sold in the City of Limerick alone ! The number of outrages does not appear to diminish ; and the authors of them are still con cealed in, impenetrable secresy. Some of the Irish Provincial Journals persist in asserting that the insurgents, who have committed such horrible atrocities in the southern districts, are not influ enced by political motives. We conceive it to be exceedingly difficult to ascertain what are not She motives and objects of secret conspirators. Their objects and their motives may in some de gree be inferred from their actions ; but it is im possible for any one to say that secret conspirators do not contemplate, and never have contem plated, a certain object, without a guilty know ledge of the conspiracy. Of the secret views and discussions of the insurgents the Public can know nothing. To their extensive atrocities they have unfortunately succeeded in giving a fearful no. toriety ; and the nature and spirit of their asso ciation can only be inferred, and its ultimate objects be discovered, from the characters of blodd ' in which they write the history of their 'deeds. The men who have declared that they will neither pay taxes nor tythes, —who defy the Jaws, and threaten with death those who resort to them for protection,—who burn and murder without compunction whenever their own arbitrary decrees are disregarded,L and who appear not so much to seek plunder, as the means of esisting the civir i and military power of the State, may not, it is true, have de termined on effecting a change in the political form of the Government, but it is at least obvious that they have resolved either on changing the Government` or on having no Government at all, since they refuse submission .to that which exists; and, - if this conduct doesinot indicate a political object, and the influence of political motives, we are at a loss to discover how else political motives are to be detected. BALTIMORE, Nov. 7. Three Schooners, hav- ing on board part of the garrison of Carthegelia, arrived at St.Jago about the 17th Oct. and more were daily expected ; they were each accom panied by a Patriot Officer to protect them from the cruizers ; there were not less than eleven piratical vessels widch have lately been cruizing between Cape Maze and St. Jago. FROM HAVANNA, OCT. 22.—A. ship has just arrived lucre which has been robbed of 9,000 dollars in Gold by an open boat. The Spanish ship, which was wrecked near Havanna, had on board a million of dollars in bars of Gold and dollars, with three Spanish Friars, which, with the crew, were lost. PROVINCE or TExAs.—Within a few months a number of persons have visited the interior of this Province, with a view of ascertaining what degree of safety in person or property could be enjoyed, and for the purpose of forming a just estimate of the advantage held out to the trader and agriculturist on becoming citizens of that country. We have availed ourselves of an op portunity of conversing with some of those who have just returned from Lahabia, and who were prohibited from going further into the country by the Governor of the Province, who resides at St. Antonio. Although they speak in high terms of the general face of the country, they describe the people as being reduced to an abject state of poverty' and misery.—The inhabitants are afraid to venture a mile from Lahabia on account of the Indians, who, to the number of 500, are en camped within six miles of the town. ,During the time our informant was at Lahabia, the In dians made an attack on the place and killed se veral of the inhabitants. Corn, the principal article of their provision, was very scarce, owing to a great drought. BRIGHTON, DEC. s.—We are happy to say that his MAJESTY continues in the etijoyrnent of the very best health and spirits.—On Monday even ing his MAJESTY gave a party, at which Lady Say and Sele, Lord Eardley, Count Orloff, General Sir John Doyle, &c. were present. The Princess AUGUSTA, we are happy to say, has returned to England in the enjoyment of ex cellent health, and has left her Royal relatives abroad in the same state. Her Royal Highness dined en Tuesday with the Duchess of 'K-ENT at her residence in the King's Palace, Kensington. The Duke and Duchess , of CLARENCE learning the arrival of their Royal Sister in England, has tened to London yesterday morning from their residence in Bushy Park, to congratulate her on her safe arrival, as did the Princess SOPHIA from her residence in the King's Palace at Kensing ton.—The Princess AuGusm dined again yester day with the Duchess of KENT, at her residence in the King's Palace, Kensington.—The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE left town yesterday 'afternoon soon after four o'clock, on their return to Bushy Park. It is said that the Marquis WELLESLEY Win be sworn in to-morrow ; and that on Saturday the Noble Lord will proceed to Ireland. Letters have been received from the Marquis of HisTriGs, in which his Lordship states that he shall be home by the Ist of May. We are sorry to add that the Marquis of HASTINGS has not lately enjoyed a good state of health. The Albion regular trader arrived at Liver pool on Friday last (30th ult.), from New York, bringing accounts to the 10th ult., when bills on this country bore a premium of from 81 to 10 per cent. British manufactures, suitable for the market, met a ready sale, at a fair advance. — (Leeds Intel4cncer.) We understand Lord COCHRANE has sent over to this country for a diving bell, the'recovery of some of the valuable property being deemed practicable. The O'Higgins, it is stated, foun dered on a bed of rocks near the shore, and in shallow water. Loan HENNIKER.—We - regret to state the', death of the Right Hon. Lord HENNIKER, LL.D.,. F.R.S., &c., who died at his house, Stratford, on Tuesday night last, deeply and sincerely la- Mented by all- his relatives, friends, and nu merous tenantry. His Lordship had nearly at tained his 70th year, and during the greater part of his long and honourable life he served in the House of Commons ; and was also an active and benevolent contributor to many charitable insti tutions. He is succeeded in his title and estate by his nephew, JOHN MINET HENNIKER, Esq. of Lincoln's-inn, and Stratford-green, Essex. Colonel HUGH SEYMOUR.'S indiSposition first arose from lying in camp, in the Peninsular war. ft commenced with an- attack of the rheumatic gout, from the 'effects of . which he never reco vered ;. it ended in the -dropsy, which. carried him off in the prime of life. An - additional cala mity attends the family by the illness or La ay CHARLOTTE'S son, who is now seriously indis posed at Cholmondeley House. REDUCTION - or PORTER.—The Publicans in most parts of the Metropolis, on Tuesday, lowered the price of Porter two-pence a gallon to the public, and from the reduced price of barley, a further reduction is expected shortly. • • • On Tuesday Sir RICIIARD BIRNIE made a Re , port to Lord Viscount Sinmou'rit, of the state of the Police. Magistrates from the different Police Offices in the Metropolis made Similar Reports to the Noble Secretary of State. VOit 'FIIE THE GREEKS. EarrOß- 7 -- - Sincerely anxious as I am for :he success of the Greek cause, and desirous as I: am of .testifying My sincerity by contributing :o the subscription which I understand is about :o be raised in their behalf, I cannot avoid paus ng until I can receive some more satisfactory in 'ormation both as to the names of those to whom the custody and due application of the subscrip tion is to be entrusted, and also to what known or acknowledged authority amongst the Greeks themselves the amount of such subscription is to be remitted, as well as by what means it is to be conveyed. All communication with the Greeks is now so rigorously interdicted, and the penalty of violating the recent military enactments in the lonian Islands so very severe, that I confess I know not how we are to approach the Greeks at all. Most willingly would I assist in freighting a ship with warlike stores for their assistance, but that our own Government would not permit. In the hopes that some of _your Correspondents may be able to afford some further information upon this subject, I remain, Sir, A GRECIAN TRAVELLER. *** We heartily join with our liberal Corre spondent in the hope that, some measure may be adopted to testify the sentiments of the British People in favour of the Greek cause, as it is the cause of reason, humanity, freedom, and the purest of religions. ~__ , NAVIGATION AND SHIPPING. SIR-I feel delighted with the specimen you have given us of the New Navigation Act ; which, however, as it repeals so many regulations for the encouragement of British Shipping, will, I hope, for the sake of grammatical, or rather philological precision, be called " An Act for the liberal encouragement of aliens and enemies, and the discouragement of British ships mid sea m e n." Sir, an act, so liberal, must make us the admi ration of all foreign nations ; who, no longer branding us with the opprobrious appellation of JOHN BULL, will now salute us with the en dearing diminutive of JAcxy CALF ! To say more is needless ; except to propose the addition of an important clause, that it shall and may be lawful for every British Ship Owner to burn all ships, vessels, coasters, &c. that are British built, without being reckoned either madman or fool ; that it shall and may be lawful for every Ship Owner to hang himself without danger of a verdict of fele-de-se, provided the NEW ACT is pleaded in bar ; that it shall and may be not only lawful but absolutely necessary for every 'British seaman to seek employ in foreign service ; and finally, that it neither shall nor may be lawful for any little boy to build ships or boats, or to sail them in his grandmother's Duck-pond ! Now,Sir, if to this some patriot should add a clause, order ing that steam chimnies shall supply the place of ropes and canvas in what may remain of our Shipping, we shall then have no 44 Navigators" except those who,dig canals, and all foreign ma ritime jealousy will be at an end ! NEPTUNE. P.S. I think no Englishman ought to go to sea, except iu a Bathing -machine. WESTMINSTER SCHOOL. Last night, according to annual .custom, the young • gentlemen of Westminster School per formed one .of the Comedies of TERENCE. That selected for the present occasion was the Andria. It would be superfluous to enter into any 'obser vations on a production, the merits of which have been long familiar to the classical scholar. The school-room . was fitted up with much taste, and every thing conducted with the greatest de corum. The dramatis perSonre were as follow : DRAMATIS P!lasoN.s.--Sirno, H. DonosoN ; Sosia, W. L. Ilitowx ; Darns, R. EDEN ; Mysis, F. F. UNDERWOOD; Pamphilus, J. BRAINE ; Charinus, W. I. E. BENNETT ; Byrrhia, R. N. GRESLEY ; • Lesbia, J. G. PnrwmonE ; Chremes, J. LEY ; Unto, W.-SnYTITE ; Droll - 10, W. SILVER. The part of most difficulty, Davus, was per formed by Master EDEN with great vivacity. Fora person so young he discovered an admi rable knowledge of the character, and supported it throughout with. much comic archness of man. ner and look. Ms exertions were highly ap plauded. Master LEy, as Chremes, performed admirably the little he had to do. It is no easy matter for a school boy, full of life and vigour, to assume sufficient efiemi ' nancy of manner to go through even such a part as this so as to pl'oduce ally thing like dra matic deceptiOn.—The - other Gentlemen were very perfect in their various parts ; and Master DonGsoN, in the character of Simo, shewed con siderable judgment.—There Are some who may doubt whether the time that must be expended in obtaining the mastery these young gentlemen • discovered in their various parts, is productive of any adequate advantage. It certainly is not time mis-spent, for it must ,have, at least, the effect of making them more familiar with the author. It was impossible for those best acquainted with The Andria of Terence from mere reading, not to have derived pleasure from this performance which he never experienced before. A prologue is usually delivered upon the occasion, but it was oriitted last night. The piece being concluded, the whole of the dramatis personce came forward, and " God save the King" was performed by the orchestra. _ • TUE THEATRE.—The Tragedy of. BI written purposely for the display of Mr. KEAN'S talents, was revived last night at Drury-lane Theatre. lie supported the hero of the piece with great spirit. Mr. COOPER was not less suc cessful in the part of Titus, and Mrs. WEST was very interesting in that of Tarquinia. The Coro nailon followed with unabated attraction. Miss BLAKE, who distinguished herself so much at- the Haymarket, both in acting and singing, in the part pr Macheath, and since in that of Don Giovanni. at. Drury-lane Theatre, is the pupil of Mr. NATHAN, so"well known for the composition of Hebrew Melodies, in conjunction with Mr. MIMEO!. It is said, that she is in treaty for an engagement at Drury-lane Theatre, if one can be made that will not interfere with her connexion with that where she first acquired her well-Merited reputation upon London bdards.
