be found e d upon principles, the action of which entirely, independent of the peculiar forms of Government. In the worst days of her political degradation, it appears that immense treasures hive been unsuccessfully lavished upon the needy classes of the state. In the proudest period of her political regeneration all the revenues of- her empire, if directed to the same object, would, without a wise and reproductive system for their administration, produce only the same unsatisfac fp.ctory results. No country is more oppressed with pauperism than England, notwithstanding the political freedom of Englishmen, the immense wealth and inexhaustible resources of their empire, and the munificent liberality of their public in stitutions. We hope that the Spaniards will re cognize the principle of our poor laws; but that they will found a very different practical systen upon it, than that which has arisen in this country e are desh'ed, by authority, to state, that the PUBLIC DEFAULTER, noticed in our Paper of Yesterday, did not belong to the VICTUALLING OFFIC E ; and that the VICTUALLING no.tao had no controul whatever over the circumstances out of which the defalcation in question is stated to have arisen. It would be a wiser course in Government to be scrupulous in examining the qualifications of future candidates for vacancies, than to turn some old servants adrift, or suddenly to reduce the incomes of others, who have either lived fully up to those incomes, or perhaps have contracted debts which they intended to discharge by future retrenchment, under the confident expectation that their official situations would last with their lives. Ertract of Letter from Washington, Oct. I. " The wreck of a copper-bottomed schooner, supposed to be a French vessel of about 120 tons, came.ashore four miles to the south of Cape Hil leras, deck separated from the hull, spars along side. Fifty odd hogsheads of rum (said to be Jamaica) full, and twelve stove in, have floated from her ; a trunk, containing French books and many printed price currents and circulars, pur porting to be from a commercial house at Paris, establishing a commercial house at St. Thomas's. None of the papers which were saved by the Custom -house officers give any names by which information of the vessel can be obtained." Advices from Madrid of the 25th ult. state, that th e pr i nc i p l e of the new loan lately an nounced, and which had been subscribed to in Part by the Spanish merchants, is found so objec. tionable, that there is every probability the measure will be abandoned, and a new contract has form e d . Barata, the Mi n i s t er o f Fi nance, it is said, departed from the , powers con ferred on him by tile Cortes in so many points that the contract cannot be confirmed, and the resignation of M. Barata will of course follow.— This loan, it should be observed, is distinct from tha t of which the bonds now circulating in this Country form a part. WlN osoa,Nor.B.—This day being her Royal highness the Princess AUGUSTS'S birth-day, the tn urning was is sue d i n b y ringing of bells, and i n thehall evening- a grand ball took place in the Town ; the houses of her Royal Highness's trades people were all grandly illuminated in the even ing on the- occasion.

NUBIAN ANTIQUITIES. jomAnn, of the French Institute, hasjust re ceived a letter from M. Cailliand, dated the sth of May, from Assour, a village about a day's jour: ney from Chendy in Nubia, in the kingdom of Sennaar, in which that traveller communicates his latest discoveries. At a short distance to the south of the confluent of the Atbara,* the an cient Astaboras, and four day's journey from Barhas, he found the ruins of a great town, with la temple and forty pyramids still standing, and forty others in ruins. The bases of the largest of these pyramids are about sixtv-two feet, and their height seventy-seven, and on one of the sides of each_ is a small temple, ornamented in-1 side and outside with hierogl }Ada characters; two of those temples are arched, and the arches are decorated with hieroglyphic emblems, and constructed like ours. This traveller has ascer tained that they are of the same age. as the Great Pyramids-. All the materials are of freestone, like the rock on which they are. built. Ismail Paella, who commands the military expedi tion into Abyss:nia, permitted M. Cailliaud to open one of these Pyramids ; some Greek letters were found in another of them.— The site of the temple and the ruined town is about a league and half from the Nile, and most of the pyramids are a league further, the sarne as at Memphis. Bruce must have passed two leagues only to the east without suspecting their existence. An avenue of Sphinxes, in the shape of rams, 262 feet long, leads to the temple, and the wall which incloses it is 426 feet round The island of Curgos, mentioned by Bruce, is to, the south of Assour, and contains no monuments. M. Jomard is of opinion, that the great ruins near Assour are those of Meroe ; their latitude about 16 degrees, 50 minutes, agrees with that of 'Meroe, as given by Strabo and Eratosthenes. The positions laid down by Bruce, in his map, are tolerably accurate, but he has traced the limits of the rains too much to the south. M. Cailliaud proposed to remain, Burin;; the rainy season, at Sennaar, with the expedition, to take up his residence in the Fazuelo, and to proceed afterwards up the Bahr-el-Abiad, or the IVhite River, which he will ascend up to a certain dis tance, in order to procure information respecting the course of. the Niger. - The thermometer was constantly, during the month of April, as high as 45 degrees and upwards, and even as high as 48 degrees (43 degrees of Reaumnr, exposed no• doubt to the sun). M. Cailliaud could not di cover any remains of the tradition of Queen Ca dace, whose dynasty, according to Bruce, were in his time still on the Throne of Chendy. For a long time our traveller has not taken the meri dian altitudes of the sun, which is too close to the Zenith, and he can only determine the latitudes of places by means of the moo❑ and stars. * The Antiquities of Mount Barkal, near a place called Merawe, are about 701eagues below, and very far from the con fluence of the Atbara which formed the Isle of 31 croe. RUNDELL v. MURRAY. The following correspondence is so honourable to the liberal character of Mr. MunnAy, and places his conduct in so fair a light, that we deem it proper to give it insertion:— TO MRS. RUNDELL. " My dearest Madam,—The unexpected occurrence of some business induces me to solicit your pardon for being obliged to delay the pleasure of attending you until Mon day morning. In the mean trine lam happy to avail my self of this first opportunity of sending the enclosure, which I trust you will feel it is as highly honourable in you to receive as it is gratifying in me to have such means for offering. Although your gift to me has proved far more valuable than I expected, yet it has added little to the grate fulness which I have so long entertained for a friendship which it is my highest pride to maintain, and which must ever render me your obliged servant, " JOHN MURRAY." MRS. RUNDELVS ANSWER. " 3IY DEAR SlR—Your very handsome and most unex• pected present I have just received, and can truly say I neve] had the smallest idea of any return for what I considered and which really was, a free gift to one whom I had long regarded as my friend. If in truth you have found my little work productive so far above your expectations as to render your very obliging enclosure any satisfaction to your own feelings, I will not affront your noble senti ment by returning it: although your persua s ion o f it s b e i ng honourable to my poor abilities is really necessary to make me believe Ido not err in accepting it. I beg to return you my best acknowledgments, my dear Sir, and to assure you of what, however, I hope you do not doubt, 1 am your obliged friend and obedient servant, %L RV ELIZA RENDELL." The Edinburgh Star of Tuesday, alluding to the false report of the death of the Countess of LAUDERDALE, says, " We can assure our readers that the Noble Countess was yesterday in her usual health and spirits at Dunbar House." The unfinished new room adjoining the draw ing -room at St. James's Palace, is seventy-four feet square. The exterior is nearly completed, and is exactly uniform with the old building ; it • is designed for the accommodation of the Ladies at the drawing-room. The new grand staircase is likewise nearly completed. The late Mr. TIMED, R. A., received the order 1 for the monument in St. Paul's Cathedral, to the memory of the late General PoNsoxay, and had scarcely made the sketch, when he died ; this he left to his friend Mr. BAILY, R. A., to execute in marble ; who has handsomely made a present of one thousand pounds of the suin allowed by Go vernment for this monument, for the benefit of Mr. TH u EED'S children. SINGULLR SPORTING OCCUR RFNCE.—On Tues day, the 30th ult. tho harriers of hal l' THOMAS, House, near Buith, hunted a hare for a considerable time. Puss being hardly pressed, dashed into a pool called hell Hole, in the River Wye. On the opposite side stood a Baptist Divine angling without success. The huntsman's halloo roused the Rev. Gentleman, who, seeing the hare, patiently awaited her lauding, but in attempting to catch her, he missed his aim— and the animal, alarmed, began to swim back towards the dogs which were grasping at her in the pool, when the preacher skilfully threw his line, hooked poor puss in one of her legs, and rescued her from a watery grave, for another day's sport.—(llcreford Jozernat) FASHIONABLE AR RI VA LS.— The tail and Countess Powis, in Berkeley-square ; Mr. Ball Hines, in Upper Brook- s t ree t, from Al clton Alowhiay ; Colonel and Mrs..

ROYAL WEST LONDON THEATRE.-The Tra gedy of Wdipus T,g rttnnus, which we have al ready noticed, has been very attractive, and has improved on its original representation. It was last night very well attended. The merit of uNTLEy and Mrs. GLovca in the characters of the unfortunate hero and heroine are of no ordi nary description ; and the latter, in Jocasta's last scene, displayed those terrific agonies that could not be surpassA by any theatrical skill. The farce was the Taming of the Shrew, which was through out represented with correctness and laughable effect.—Mr. AlmEnsr gave the part of Petruchio with critical truth and great spirit, and Mrs. G VEIL'S Catherine was marked by all that ani mation and characteristic force which might be expected from her experience and judgment, and which strikingly exemplified the variety of her talents.—lf this excellent actress is unaccount ably excluded from Patentee boards, it is at least some satisfaction to the Public that she still finds a liberal protection in the Metropolis. The maG entlemen of Ilerona, it seems, is an other of the plays of SHA KSPEA R E that is soon to be tinkered into an operatic shape. These intru sions upon the page of our great national Bard cannot but " make the judicious grieve," not merely on account of the outrage committed on his works, but because it impli e s a lamentable dearth of dramatic genius in our days, for surely if a good play were presented to the Manager it would he his interest to bring it forward, pro vided indeed that he had judgment and taste sufficient to discern its merits. A new Comedy is •expected at Drury -lane Theatre, under the title of Lost Life, of which report speaks very favourably. A young Lady, a pupil of Mr. YouNG, the actor, is soon to make her appearance at Covent- Carden Theatre, in the character of Mrs. Haller. She could not have found a better tutor, and if he can teach her to represent Mrs. Haller as well as he performs the &ranger, we may expect a va luable addition to the Covent-Garden Company. Mr. TnomAs Moonu, who was recently on a visit to this Country, has returned to Paris to re sume his biography of the late Mr. SHERIDA N ._ The subject is worthy of a literary, record, and will, no doubt, he well treated by one so distin guished for ieurniug 7 taste ) and geith".

The various applications which have been made to the Cbm inander-inXhief by persons who have been injured, and in many instances defrauded, by Half-pay Officers, have induced his Royal Highness to signify his gracious intention to direct that the half-pay of all Officers, against whom applications are made to him for pecuniary redress, shall be at once appropriat ed to reimburse the claiinanit or creditors of such Officers, who, if their honour or character appeared to be involved, will be struck off the Haif-pay List, so as to protect the property of the public, and to repudiate unprincipled men from his Majes ty's service.--'. - -(3linisterial Paper.")

It is always painful to the Commander-in-Chief to observe a neglect of his Majesty's regulations ; and his Royal .Ilighness fees it tic mote necessary to put a stop to this abuse, under ..the pcscnt reduced state of the regimental establishments, which calls for the efficiency of every man, as far as it is possi ble to effect it. But although the establishment of troops and companies in each regiment is reduced, y e t it i s not t h e w i s h or intention of hi s Royal Highness to place the bands upon a scale below what has been hitherto thought essential for the due performance of the duty required of. them ; and they may accordingly be still maintained to the regulated extent of a ser jeant master and ten musicians. But Colonels and Coinniand irig Officers of Corps are enjoined, and commanded, and held responsible, that this number shall not be exceeded under any circumstance, excuse, or arrangement whateve r ; an d suc h men as are now, in contradiction to the King's regulations, clothed and maintained as Musicians beyond this number, must be immediately rerlaced in the ranks. General Officers are called upon, at their periodical inspec tions, to see that the lett er an d spirit of this order a r e s t ric tl y corm with.
