Clothier, of Salem, were totally lost on that deso late coast in December last ; crews saved. Acconnts from Havannah, so late as the 16th ult., speak of a Revolution as being momentarily expected In the Island, the regular troops having shewn strong Iymptoms of disaffection. - The St. Kitt's Papers contain a Proclamation of his Honour DELAP WILSON, Commander in -Chief for the time being in and over St. Christ op h er ' s, Nevis, Anguilla, and the Virgin Islands, allowing, for the space of six months from the 26th February, 1821, staves, heading, boards, timber and lumber of all sorts, to be im ported from any Island in the West Indies, under the dominion of any foreign European Sovereign or State, into the said Island of St. Christopher, by British subjects, and in British vessels, owned and navigated according to law. New Brunswick Papers to the 9th May do not contain any news of importance. xtract of a Letter from the agent to _Loyd's, at Constanti- nople, datenOth May.) " Though some most alarming circumstances broke out here s° oll after last post, lam happy to add, that tranquillity has prevailed for some days, and we have hopes of its continuance. " Under existing circumstances, and in consideration of the report of some of the Greek Islands being in a state of revolt, I have suggested to his Excellency our Ambassador, the advan tage and necessity of some protection for our trade through the Archipelago, which he has promised to take into immediate consideration. " The Allll, LONGRIDGE, Elizabeth, .CALAUDI, Cobourg, FARMAN, and Daphne,LLE WELLYN, are detained in the Bos phorus by contrary winds." We are as little disposed to justify any addi tion to the public burthens, and as anxious to promote the diminution of them, as any of our Competitors, or any of our Countrymen; but we cannot view, without contempt, though certainly 'without surprize, the despicable comments which have been made in a Morning Paper, on the re cent application of the Duke of CLARENCE for an allowance which he declined when he did -not think that be stood in need of it, and now applies to the liberal spirit of Parliament for what his own liberal spirit had then induced him to refuse. Since His Royal Highness declined that allowance, his expences have been necessarily in creased by his marriage, and by other incidental events. Is it not inconsistent with the character of loyal Britons to wish to make a niggard pro vision for any of the Royal Family, and not rather to afford them all domestic comforts ? We may be sure that the Duke felt the neces sity of the application, or he would not have resorted to it, and we are glad to observe that the Public Journal alluded to is the only narrow minded exception to the manner in which the subject in question has been treated by all the others. Yet that Journal, with ludicrous pa rade, speaks of " little souls and, great ones," upon a matter in which the generous feelings of all true Englishmen, whether advocates or oppo nents of Ministers, will cordially concur. We feel it to be our duty to direct the atten tion of our readers to the very interesting and important Essay " On the past and present Cir cumstances of this Country," which has appeared IP successive portions in our paper, because it thnow. drawing to the conclusion, and because remainder will contain the principal remedies Which the Author suggests for relieving the exist 'ng distress of the People. We may confidently S ay, that if any Member of Parliament who may lead this valuable article would interest himself in Me subject, and if the Constituent Body in general - wore to recommend it to their Representatives, s omething might be effected,even before the present , sit ting of Parliament closes, which might pro duce th e most beneficial consequences. ;We say thus much with the greater confidence, because the Author has been a merchant and a banker in this great city, and also an attentive observer of 'What has been passing for thirty years, and is in every respect a useful member of society. His utter is solid, and he conveys it In such a correct, Yigorous,and impressive style, as few men absorbed i n business are a bl e to attain. He writes, we know, f , r om pure public spirit, and without seeking or ''oping for Ministerial Patronage. However, in Me time of Sir ROBERT WALPOLE, the late Earl ° I . CHATHAM, and the late Mr. PITT, such a IWriter would have beenanxiously sought for, and Ills talents have been employed for the service °I his Country.

HE LATE EARL OT SHEFFIELD.-The remains of that excellent and respectable Peer, the late all of SIiEFEIELD, were interred in the family va ult at th e par i s h c h urc h o f Fletching, Sussex, 0u Tuesday last. His corpse was attended to the g r ave by his friends and tenantry. His Lordship I ves twice M.P. for Bristol. When Colonel Hot.- 11(3 YD, and M.P. f o r Coventry, his Lordship re si:sted Lord GEORGE GORDON'S mob in 1780, in their attempt to force a passage into the House of Co mmons. The Colonel, with his sword in hand, placed himself in the •door-way, and told Lord George, that if any man offered to enter, he 'Would immediately run him (Lord G.) through 'the body. Thi s h a d th e d es i re d e ff ect, an d t h e 'louse was preserved from violation. His Lord ship was the intimate friend of the late Mr. Gin lloN the Historian,and the constant, zealous, and disinterested supporter of the landed, colonial, shipping and manufacturing interests of this Em pire, and throughout a long and active life he availed himself of every opportunity to encourage and promote them, and to maintain the GOOD OLD l'oucY of the Country. Yesterday Count MuNsTra had an audience of 'the KING. PRIVATE AND AUTHENTIC CORRESPONDENCE PARIS, JUNE 9.---The dreadful consequences of gaming have been 'terribly exemplified within these last ten days ; not fewer than three suicides have been committed : one blew out his- brains in the Bois de Boulogne ; another threw himself out of the window of the gaming house in the Palace Royal, No. 9 ; and on Thursday evening, a young man who had lost a large sum entrusted to him, went to No.. 154, in the Palace Royal, lost it all, went into the garden and shot him self through the heart. Yet the Government authorises these iniquitous establishments, which are the complete destruction of morality and hap piness, because it obtains annually from this im pure source 250,000/. Yesterday, the Law and Me.dical Students assembled, under the pretext of commemorating the anniversary of the death of a young man, killed in the mobs of June last year ; they had even the impudence to post up their intentions on the walls of the Colleges. The Government very properly defeated their efforts in every way, and these pious Radicals could neither pray for the soul of the departed Radical at the church, rror pronounce an Oration over his grave at the burial ground. The discussion' of the Budget occupies the attention of the Deputies and the public. Gen. FOY thinks it strange that the Diplomatic-Agents of the Convention and the Directory have no pensions. To what shifts are the French radi cals obliged to resort! The Minister of Fo reign Afiliirs demanded 12,000/. additional for his ministry, on .which the Liberals said he ought to have no Under Secretary of State ; the good sense of the Chamber did justice on such a ridi culous observation, by voting the sum demanded. The Budget of the Minister of the Interior came next; the Minister's salary they left intact ; but that of the Director-General of Police was de clared by M. GIRARDIN (the Emilitts of Rous sEAu) to be the General of Spies. Ile related many circumstances which we know to be false, and distorted many others ; but is it the Liberals who talk of spies ? Let them read their partizan GREGOIRE'S work, they will find that in BUONA.• PARTE'S reign no man was safe,—the wife was a spy on the husband, the son on , the father, and even also the sister and brother on the brother, — that all" the ties of blood and friendship were empoisoned, were severed by the system of Espionage. If spies are continued to be em ployed, the necessity is evident, from the com plete dAmoralization of the people, with whom "an oath is null." In France police agents are as necessary to watch the motions of the disaf fected, as locks and bolts to protect us against thieves. EXPLOSION.--(Paris, June B.)—We (Gazette de France) have received. the following account from Valenciennes:— " A terrible Occurrence has spread consternation throughout this town. On the 4th inst. at a quarter to seven o'clock in the morning, a loud explosion was heard. It was soon announced that the Lisle gate, under which was a powder magazine, was on fire. Alarm instantly became general, the inhabitants , pre cipitately flyitig in all quarters to avoid the danger. The garri son mustered underarms, and the Mayor and his assistant (Mr. Dinaux) .and the Sub-Prefect of Douay repaired to the spot without delay, and, by their presence, contributed to maintain order. Some bombs and grenades exploded from time to time. About eleven o'clock the four towers of the gate, in which were a considerable quantity of arms, gave way: Happily, the flames had not penetrated to the subterranean , magazine.; from whence, at this perilous moment, some powder was taken out and conveyed to the citadel. At the hour at which I write this, the danger is over, but not the alarm. One man only has been. killed; it is thought the deceased is the individual who impru dently caused the fire.—A thousand 'conjectures are advanced on this point. The loss is immense; the lead, iron, and brass formed a frightful torrent of burning lava. Of this immense edifice there only remain the walls ; which are expected to fall every instant. Thus a monument of the 14th century, which has resisted several memorable sieges, has fallen in a few hours !" ROYAL ANECDOTE.—Our late revered Sove reign, whose easy and affable, character is well known, was in the habit of indulging himself in familiar conversation. On one occasion, speaking with his usual good humour to the late Sir WAT KIN WILLIAMS WYNNE, his MAJESTy jocularly Said, " Sir AVATKIN, I am King of England, and you are King of WALES." The ,worthy Ba ronet immediately replied , Vont...MAJESTY is King of ENGLAND, but I am only King in WALts." ROYAL VlSlT.—Orders we understand, have been received, for putting the Castle of Dublin into a state proper for the holding of the King's Court, without delay. His MAJESTY will sleep at the Lodge in the Park, and will ,hold his Le vees at the Castle. (Dublin Correspondent.) The following is a copy of his Royal Highness the Duke of ,YORX'S reply to his appointment as- Grand Master of the Royal Orange 'institution : " Horse Guards, Bth February, 1821. " have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 6th instant, and to acquaint you, that Mr. EUSTACE com municated to me the Resolution entered into by the Members of the Loyal Orange Institution, appointing me their Grand Master, with which I felt much gratified; and I am sorry that my acquiescence therein should not have been 'sooner commu nicated to you, 1" I am, Sir, our 's FREDERICK. " WM. WOODBURN, Esq. Grand Secretary.'' The Prince LEOPOLD and the Duchess of KENT, with the little Princess, her sister, attend ed by Sir ROBERT GARDINER and Col. ADDEN BROKE, yesterday honoured Mr. MATTHEW WYATT With a visit to vie* three of-the figures, which are finished in marble, forthe Cenotaph to the memory of the late Princess CihiniorrE;His Royal Highness seemed much affected, and the Duchess appeared to be deeply interested.— Their Royal Highnesses expressed' the highest admiration of the work. Yesterday the Duke of CLARENCE and the Princess AU6usTA took an excursion down the RiVer ThameS. Their Royal .HighneSses took water on board a pleasure barge at Vauxhall Bridge. The Borough of Petersfield, which by the de cision a few days ago of the second Committee of the House of Commons, is now declared to be free and open, and the right of voting to be in every freeholder, without any restriction, after having been closed for a century, forms a striking proof of what may be done .byl)erse verance. Some old charters, found a few years ago, brought to light the rights of the Petersfield people, which they had so long been depriv ed of.— Chronicleo A smart contest is • expected for - Kinsale, in consequence of the death of G.

" Given at our Court the 9th day of June, 1821, second year of our reign. - "God - save the King." Great additional activity was yesterday ob servable among the artists and workmen in West minster Abbey. Mr. Greenwood,. the scene painter, and his assistants, were added to those who had been previously engaged ; and were employed in canvassing and papering the trium phal arch, preparatory to its being painted, ac cording to the model of Mr. Hiort, and approved by his Majesty. The departments of the Earl Marshall, the Lord Great Chamberlain, the Lord Chamberlain of the Household, the Lord Stew ard, and the Board of Works, are all equally on the alert, in making preparations for the cere mony ; and their Officers and Clerks are required to attend early and late, in order to enable them to perform their arduous duties. The decorative works are also in active progress, and Mr. Mash is as usual indefatigable in his attendance--being daily and hourly employed in inspecting the de tails which fall within his functions. Mr. Wa tier, Mr. Best, and Mr. Wharton, have to pro vide the Banquet, a work of no ordinary labour; for, in addition to the Noblemen and other indi viduals who will dine in the Hall, in the presence of the King, other tables will be prepared in the Court of Exchequer, the Court of Common Pleas, the old House of Lords, the Painted Chamber, the. Committee Rooms of the House of Lords and Commons, &c.; for the reception of not less than 2000 guests. SHIP NEWS. DEAL,. JUNE 11.—Wind E. N.

ITINERARY FROM TRIPOLI TO TIMBOUCTOO.--= M.WAL CKENAER is about to publish a Work of great interest. Appointed by the Academy of Inscriptions at Paris to examine and prepare for the press an " Itinerary from Tripoli to. Thr, bouctoo, translated from the Arabic, the learned Geographer has added to it - dnother• " Itinerary from Tripoli to Timbouc too," writtencin .vulgar Arabic, and translated by M. Silvestro de Sacy. These two Narratives, so important for the Geo graphy of the Interior of Africa, will be accompanied by a Map, and Preceded by, an Essay, in which M. Walekenaer communicates the previous information which has reached us, and the result of the expeditions undertaken in this vast coun try, where the Niger still hides its my sterious course. In the Report made to the Academy of Inscriptions, and which 111. Walckenaer has just published, we perceive that the caravans set out for Timbouctoo. f r om every po in t of the ho.rizon. Those from Sennaar, Nubia, - and it gyps are calculated to excite the most lively curiosity, the expeditions from the North, West, and South-West having perished, - , or at least failed. The Au thor, after having detailed all these researches, analyzes the se veral narratives, compares and discusses , the-.idifFerent contra dictory notions which have been - published respecting the course of Rivers, the direction of Mountains, and the-position of the numerous Nations which people this large iime of Northern Africa. When we consider the many voluntary and com pulsory journies across .the iahara, And the numerous at temps made by England to penetrate into the heart of this rich and fertile Country, we entertain no. doubt of deriving both in- Istruetion - and •amti.sement- from the well-known . ability. of the Alkthor of this Work. ... . , P O E T R Y. CARIVI INA WICCAMICA.--(No. XIV.) THE DREAM OF CALPHURN . lA. BY C:-- B B • • Dark was the night_; with wild tempestuons ioumd - A rising earthquake rock'd the trembling"ground ; Rome telt the shoZI, around the 'mitering; tow'r; Roar'd the loud blast, and beat the driNing shover, Which rous'd ambition frOm'her broken rest And chill'd with drmd victorious Cmsar's breast. Pale from his couch he starts, his eyeballs roll,. - While terror half unmans his sturdy soul. No flatt'ring myriads now his worth proclaim, No more from camp to camp resounds his name; No more the Sons of Rome milting raise Triumphant shouts, and swell the songs of praise ; 'Tis silence. all; save when the thunder's sound Flings to the swelling gale its peal profound. Alone, amaz'd he stands, and seems to hear Mysterious voices break upon his ear, In dread array funereal phantoms glide, Wing the mid sky, and on the whirlwinds ride ; While the blue lightning's momentary glare Plays with faint lustre on his streaming hair. Say did thy soul, proud hero, in that hour Scorn the frail" joys of transitory pow'r ? Did!st thou at length pereeive how weak, how vain The boasted splendour of thy earthly reign, Then did thy heart, in that terrific night, Confess the weakness of thy vaunted might; And spite of all thy conquests, all thy fame, Trembled with chilly fear thy mortal frame. 'When to ! with gesture wild, andliggedair, Sunk her pale cheek, and labourinig bosom bare, Forth rush'd Calphurnia ! her disti l acted eye Spoke the keen pangs of wilful agony— O'er her sad face was spread a fev'rih glow, And ghastly horror sat upon her brow ; Not with such frantic mien on Morva's shore, Their gaining bands the Druid sisters bore, When . fierce they rush'd, amid night's awful gloom, And scar'd with dismal cries the might of Roine : " What have I seen," she cried, " before my sight " What threatening phantoMs in the dead of night. 44 Tremendous rose, and on my throbbing breast " Terror and dark prophetic fears impressed_ 1 44 When gentle slumber o'er my senses stole, " And steep 4 d in soft forgetfulness my soul, " Methought amid the clouds, with beck'ning hand, " I saw great 'Pompey . 's bleeding image stand ! " It shriek'd, as slow it vanish'd into air— " Tyrant I'm revenged—Despair, despair; " While heav'n and earth in furious tempest join'd, " New scenes of horror rack'd my tortur'd mind ; 4 ' Lo ! suddenly I saw thy statue rise " TOw'ringterrific, of gigantic size, " Pierc'd with a thousand wounds, its mangled side, " Forth like a fountain pour'd the crimson tide, " From every vessel gush'd the vital flood "And bath'd th' empurpled limbs with streams of blood. " On the portentous prodigy, amaz'd, 44 With palpitating heart I trembling gaz'd, • " And view'd with horror, Rome's tumultuous bands " - Drench in the clotted gore filar eager hands ! " 'Tis past—but still creative Fancy's pow'r " Paints the dread spectres of the midnight hour ; " Still the same.fear my soul distracted fills, " And thro' my frozen heart the dire remembrance thrills. " And hark—e'en now, shook with convulsive rage, " All heav'n and earth confirm the sad presage ; " Embattled squadrons on the clouds advance • 44 Clash the bright shield, and hurlthe meteor lance. " Now firm in phalanx meet, now slowly pour, • 44 From the rent clouds, thick sleet - of arrowy show'r, " And at each pause, what deep ton'd thunders roll ? " What forked lightnings flash from pole to pole ? "See bursting from their graves the shadows pale ; The eagle screaming in the tainted gale ?„ " O'er thee the threat'ning birds ill omen'd fly. " And sound thy fatal doom amid the sky ;' . 44 To thee dim gliding points each fleeting form, " And bears thy name ill-mutmur'd in the storm: 4‘ Oh ! let this sigh sincere, his tender pray'r " Touch thy firm mind, and warn thee to beware. " Let hot thy soul, with conquests too elate " Still court each danger, and provoke thy fate : " Low at thy feet, behold, Calphurnia lies ; " Fear for thy Safety dims my clouded eyes ; " If vain I plead, if thou.disdain -to hear " The deep drawn sigh, and mark the trickling tear, " Thy country's pray'rs shall thy rash steps detain. " Shall Rome thou fought'st to save, implore in vain ? 44. Rome hans on thee, if thou alas should'st tall, "Thy wife, thy friends, thy country, perish all !" f3he teas'de with fear; still heav'd her panting breast, Her looks the tumult of her soul express d. Like some firm rock, that, rising from the flood, Spurns the tempestuous waves, great from} stood; With, gen'rous heat his cheeks indignant glow, And high disdain sits scowling in his brow. Whilst sparks of rage seem flashing from his eyes, Prompted by conscious worth he thus replies : " Shall Caesar fear ? Shall I, whose deathless praise 44 Applauding mem'ry to the skies will raise, " `1 ho every shape of danger durst defy, ".Shrink from- a vision, from a shadow fly.! " And shall an empty dreain my mind dismay, " Whom hostile myriads ne'er appall'd by day ! " Was it for this my ensigns conquest bore • " From far Pyrene to Britannia's shore ? " For this have I defy'd each barbarons hdrde, And stretch'd thro' stubborn Gaul my conq'ring sword; " And where contending billows cleav'd in vain, " Brav'd all the horrors of the northern main, 44 Was it for this upon its conscious side, " When lay strong camp was spread in warlike pride; " The troubled spirit of the Rubicon " Saw me advance—then hail'd, and bade me on ! " And shall a woman's dreams, a woman's fears, " This bosom chill, or draw unmanly tears ? " When Fate condemns me to the silent tomb, " No pray'rs, no caution can avert my doom : " But the great soul, that still for virtue strives, " E'en after death in endless praise survives— " Such be my fate !—let Rome exalt my name, "For ne'er Caesar quit the paths of Fame. "Still, while 1-live, by no base fears opprest, " Still shall the love of glory fire my breast ; " Be mine the threats of fortune to defy, " To live like C.ESAR, or, like C.tsAn, die !"

Part of this in crease is probably owing to the very opposite circumstances under which the two census were taken. The year 1811 ,wa*,a time of war; when beside other causes of inaccuracy , many people either misunderstood the measure, or froth groundless alarms of taxation and military service were not reconciled to - being numbered. The public have now ma. nifested in every instance the utmost readiness to afford the in formation required. Ti is singular enough that in all the low and thickly' peopled parts of Gateshead not a single individual was found, confined to bed: The following are the. returns which we have received:— BYKER TOWNSHIP. Males. Females. In 1121 . .1894 1957 In 1811 - 1447 . 1582 Total. Families. 3851 880 3029 Increase 180 447 375 822 VESTGATE TOWNSHIP. In 1821 198 houses. 294 families. 1369 inhabitants. In 1811 144 ditto 203 ditto. -745 ditto. Increase NEWCASTLE. 624. • Of this town we have only obtained the returns of three pa. rishes, but these it will be seen are equal in amount to the re., turn of 1811: St. Nicholas St. John's AU Saints' St. Andrew's 1811. 1821. Increase. 4166 5088 922 4466 6290 1824 14171 16520 2349 4784 - Total - 27587 27898 So that the population has increased by the whole of St. An. drew's parish. But Gateshead, we understand, exhibits the greatest increase, being now about 13,000, whilst it was only 8,782 in 1811. As far as we can ascertain, the population of Newcastle and Gateshead, with the immediate dependencies of Byker and Westgate townships, will not be less than 52,000-in. habitants.—(Newcastle Chronicle.)

CENSUS OF Nonwrcu.—The following is a comparative View of the Population in 1811 and 1821.
