T HIS Melancholy Catastrophe occurred on a voyage to . the South Sea Fishery,—Captain HALES sailed from England in the Ship Offley, about the month of October 1820, and having doubled Cape Horn, after a rough passage, early in 1821, he put into the Island of St. Maria, which is uninhabited, on the Coast of Chili, to re-ft.—On the 24th of February, about 10 A. at., severamen were seen en the beach, and Capt. Hales supposing them to be Spaniards, who had come over from the Main, went on shore with his Second Mate, Armourer, and four Seamen, armed, for the purpose of procuring fresh provisions. The party was seen to land, and join the Spaniards, who appeared to be very friendly with them ; they shortly afterwards retired from the beach to gether, and it was supposed that Capt. Hales was in treaty with them for provisions, and was gone over to the South Bay to look at them. Towards sun-set, the Captain not having re turned, the crew became alarmed and a boat was despatched to Search for them, which returned with information, that on their approach, several strange men were seen on the beach, and from their movements more were supposed to be concealed, and it being near dark, it was deemed most prudent to return to the ship without venturing to land. The following morning no tidings having been received of the p irty on shore, at day-light the Chief Mate manned and armed two boats, for the purpose of endeavouring to find them ; on coming near the shore, they perceived a man naked, sitting on the beach, and on landing, discovered him to be Thomas Moore the Arrnourer, covered with blood, and severely wound ed ; he was perfectly sensible, and informed them, that on their first landing, the Spaniards appeared to be friendly, giving them bread and meat, and induced them to accompany them some distance from the shore, where they were suddenly sur rounded by 40 or 50 men armed, on which the Captain re solved to return to his boat, which was refused, except on con dition of their delivering up their arms—They were compelled to comply with these terms.—The Spaniards then treacherously bound them, two and two, and carried them about three miles into the island, and when dark, brought them back near to the beach, among some bushes—stripped them—and cruelly stab bed them in cold blood, himself alone surviving, whom they left for dead, he having received 23 wounds in his body, and two sabre cuts, one on each side of the neck. He was perfectly sensible, and was immediately taken on board, where the Sur geon examined him, and found his wounds mortal. The boat had no sooner returned, than a number of men were seen com ing towards the beach, and soon afterwards a man presented himself dressed in the Captain's clothes : waving his hat for a boat to come on shore t_ he was accompanied by three or four, who appeared to be Officers'in green uniforms, with cocked hats and sabres ; others were discovered from the mast head lying behind the beach. The leader of the party appeared so much like Captain Hales, that the Armourer was questioned whe ther he was positive that the Captain was killed, when he assured them he was, and that the Captain or leader of the Spaniards so much resembled Captain Hales, that he had remarked it when on shore. The Offley immediately weighed anchor, and stood for Conception, and at 5 P. aI. the Armourer became much worse, and at 9 the same evening died.—An instance of more atrocious barbarity perhaps never occurred; Capt. Hales, the Second Mate, Armourer, and four men perished, in this most inhuman transaction ; Capt. Hales has left a Widow and seve ral Children totally destitute of the means of subsistence, to obtain which, this appeal is made with confidence to the bene volence of the Public, convinced that they will humanely con tribute to the relief of an unfortunate family, who have been deprived, by this unforeseen and calamitous event, of their only support, and who have thus been reduced from respectable and comfortable circumstances, to the greatest poverty and distress.

A D D It E S S TO THE CITIZENS OF EDINBURGH, And to the Inhabitants of North Britain in general, on his Ma jeatz's expected Visit to Scotland.—By the Right lioa. Sir J. SrlicLant, Bart. " The Muse, High hovering o'er the broad cerulean scene. Sees Caledonia, in romantic view; Her airy mountains, from the waving main, Invested with a keen diffusive sky, Breathing the soul acute." THOMSON' (Autumn, line 076.) We have every reay. - n to hope, that in the course of the en suing summer or autumn, his Majesty will honour his Scottish dominions with his presence. On no occasion have expectations of a royal visit been hither. to excited, without their being fulfilled by his Majesty. Notwithstanding the period at which the Coronation took place, and the great fatigues attending that splendid ceremony, his Irish subjects were soon after gratified with a sight of their Sovereign ; and the ardent manner with which they expressed their gratitudefor this unusual mark of royal attention was con sistent with that animation and generosity by which the Irish character is so peculiarly distinguished. Disregarding the inconveniences, and even the dangers, with which his excursion to Ireland had been attended, more espe cially during his Majesty's return, and though the season of the year had become extremely unfavourable to voyages by sea, and journies by land, his Majesty resolved not to disap point his Hanoverian subjects, in the expectations they had formed of seeing him ; and he has accordingly visited that part of his dominions. It is not, therefore, to be imagined, unless prevented by some unlooked-fbr circumstance, that his Majesty will fail to visit Scotland, in the course of the ensuing year ; and this may he more confidently relied on, as his Scottish subjects have many just claims to his Majesty's favourable attention. The Scot tish Throne is, perhaps, the most ancient in Europe ; and it is in consequence of his Majesty's connection with die Scottish House of Stuart, and its alliance with the English House of Tudor, that he inherits the British Crowns. While other coun tries may boast of a more fertile territory, a more genial cli mate, and may possess a more numerous population, there is none where the cultivated soil produces in more abundance, or where the people in general arc more usefully and more profitably employed. The features of the country are pic turesque and magnificent; while the people who inhabit it are entitled to respect from their military and naval achievements, their great industry, their scientific acquirements, and their strict attention to morality and religion. On the supposition that his majesty will visit Scotland, in the course of the ensuing summer or autumn, it is of much im portance for the people of this country to consider in what man ner they can give a proper reception to their Sovereign. There is no circumstance that has done more credit to the Irish, than their taking advantage of the royal visit, in order to bury in oblivion those religious animosities which have so long distracted that interesting country.(l) In Scotland, though there are different religious sects, yet their opposition to each other is not carried to the same violent height. In Ireland, probably, not a fourth part belong to the Established Church, whereas in Scotland not a fourth part are Dissenters; and even of these the greater proportion hold Presbyterian principles.— The contentions in this country are more of a political than of a religious nature; and when toe contest is, winch party shall engross the powers of Government, it is not to be supposed that any union between those who wish to have the exclusive pos session of the same object is likely to be effected. The Sove ' reign must choose between the two parties, which of them he considers to be the best fitted fin- the administration of public affairs. There are some points, however, deserving of immediate at ention, in regard to which, I trust, all true Scotchmen will con cur in opinion. The hrst is, to render the ancient Palace of the Kings of Scot land, a fit place for the reception of the Sovereign and his Court, and to improve the access to it. To accomplish these objects, the plan for the improvement of Holyrood-house,drawn by the late Mr. Adam, ought to be immediately set about; and the interior of the rooms fitted up so as to suit a Royal Resi dence. The ancient Chapel there ought likewise to be re paired, that the Knights of the Thistle may be installed in that place with due solemnity. Such other buildings also ought to be commenced, and, if possible, completed, as are calculated to ornament a metropolis, the situation of which is so peculiarly picturesque and beautiful. For instance, the erection of " The earthenon," on the (40ton-hill, which has so long been anxi ously wished for, by those who are desirous to perpetuate, by so noble a monument, the fame of those military and naval heroes who have been born in Scotland. It would seem, indeed, as if the commencement of this favourite national object were reserved for the presence of the Sovereign in this country, and to immortalize the epoch of his Majesty's visit to it. It would also be a most important object, were al] disputes respecting the reparation of the central Church of St. Odes terminated, and if an Act were brought in, for raising a sum necessary to complete, in a magnificent style, that ancient edi fice. In compliment to their Sovereign, the privileged classes of the community might wave their exemptions, and agree to a general contribution or assessment, to be expended in giving dignity and beauty to a building, erected in the centre of our metropolis. It would doubtless by highly gratifying to the Sove reign to know, that it was out of respect to him that established rights were waved, and that an important improvement was accomplished. It would add to the pleasure he must expe rience, while sitting in the Royal Chair in that edifice, and lis tening to those eloquent Ministers of the Scottish Church, who shall have the honour of preaching before him. In his visit to Scotland, his Majesty will not, be surrounded with those Dignitaries of the Church to which he has been accustomed in England and in Ireland; but it would be proper that a General Assembly of the Church of Scotland (the only Ecclesiastical Parliament now extant), were to be held upon the occasion, that his Majesty might be more fully impressed with the nature and constitution of the Presbyterian Establish ment, where the Members of the Church make up for disparity of rank, Ly the opportunity they have of exercising their talents in the progressive judicatures of the Church ; and where the only distinction arises from superior merit and virtue. The judicial state of Scotland, in which there are many ex cellent institutions, as the plan of Registers, &c. will likewise be an important object of royal inquiry; and it may be proper then, to consider, whether it would not be advisable to form " A Code" of the Laws of Scotleed, which have many peculiar excellencies, as preparatory to a similar plan for England and I eclat-. J. The City of Edinburgh has been called the modern Athens. Its situation is, in some respects, siniiiee the ancient me tropolis of Attica ; and, in its oevotiee et, literature, it bears a great resemblance to that c...ea'..tal city. His Majesty will naturally wish to '•xao-:::e all the ticulars con nected with this empto an!. ee , e,itt wi.iei. eo lertat a I eumber of individuals ~le lastal. :a a knewleage of me i dicine, in ancient ante en modene ier.guagee, anti in every 5p.... cies of art and science distogui.sh , iOr its uility. (2) Few of those celebrated characters, woo oece adorned the literary cir cles of Edinburgh, now exist ; but we have still to boast of some remnants of the old snick. es a Dugald Stewart, and a Henry Mackenzie, end likewise some more modern authors of distinguished celebrity. There is no country, perhaps, where agriculture and garden ing are carried to greater perfection than in Scotland. The in st-uments of husbandry are so simple and efficient, and the whole system so easily understoa, that the pectlict:on of the late President of the Royal Society (Sir J. Banks) is likely to be verified," " That Agriculture will owe more to the Scot,, than to any other nation, since Adam first wielded the spade." A ploughing match, on an extensive scale, would be an interemiag spectacle for the Sovereign to witness. The art of road-making has also been carried to great per fection in Scotland; and it is to be hoped that the roads, over which his Majesty will probably travel, will be repaired, pre vious to his Majesty's arrival in Scotland, on the principles of Macadam. The streets of Edinburgh, also, will require:nu* attention and improvement. The perfection to which various manufactures have been brought in Glasgow and its vicinity, and the beauty of the fa brics wrought in that neighbourhood, must excite the admiee tion of every beholder ; and to these, the Royal Visitor will re turally direct his attention. In regard to other objects of useful inquiry, the Sovereign oil) have an opportunity of investigating in Scotland, with pocuLear advantage, some of the most important branches of pofiti cal economy—in particular, the system of parochial educstiarn and its effects ;—the management of the poor;—the laws for the inclosing of land, and the division of property held in common ; and other branches on which depend the substantial interests qt a nation. In no other country, also, have inquiries of a statie tical nature been carried to such an extent ; for accounts hay , ' been drawn up, not only of every parish, and of every coasty in the kingdom, but a general view of the state of the cosalitry at large has been pubhsbed, accompanied by tables, containing statements of every particular with which a Sovereign, or a Minister of State, would wish to be made acquainted. There is no country, therefore, where a mind, anxious for the attainment of useful knowledge, could acquire more valuable information than in Scotland. Yet, on such an occasion, ob jects of a more amusing, but less important descriptiou, aren't to be disregarded. It may be proper to consult the ancient records of the City ( f Edinburgh, in order to ascertain in what manner the Kings of Scotland were formerly received on their first arrival in that metropolis ; and to renew, so far as modern .manners will ad mit of it, the same style f reception. Besides modern races, exclusively confined to one object, it would be desirable to add to them exhibitions of some of those gymnastic exelcises, for which Scotland was formerly celebrate ed. A Musical Festival, also, in which Scottish music shaull have its full share, should not be ornhted. It would be gratifying, on particular occasions, to sec his Ma jesty, and his Scottish subjects, attired in the ancient garb of the country. Indeed, nothing could have a more striking ef fect on the mind of a stranger, than to witness the Highland dress—the Highland music—and the Highland dances reviv ed, (3) so as to represent to the eye the manners and customs uf ancient times. To see a hundred Chiefs, and Highland Lairds, attended by the elite of their respective clans, each' wearing the peculiar tartan or " set" of his tribe, would be a sight which could only be seen in Scotland. His Majesty may also partake, amidst the scenery of the Grampian Mountains, the amusements of the chase, as en j;,,y - ed by his ancestors, of which Si) striking a description is given in the ancient Histories of Scctland.(4) The object of a Sovereign, however, in visiting the more dis tant parts of his dominions, is not amusement merely, or the exhibition of shows or pageantry, (though these public testimo nies of respect and affection are not without their use), but h real gratification must arise front the exercise of Lis mental powers,—from the acquirement of new information,—from his uniting his subjects, by conciliating religious or political ani mosities, which has been so happily accomplished by his Ma jesty in Ireland,—and, above all, from the means with widen he is thus furnished, of ascertaining how he can best ameliorate the condition, and augment the heppiness, of his people. On the whole, these can be no doubt that the proposed visit of his Majesty will prove highly gratifying, both to him lied to his subjects in Scotland, and may eventually prove the source of important benefits to the northern part of his dominions; &ref for that purpose it would be desirable that preparations for Lit reception were made early, so as to be done in a manner like:y to be acceptable to his Majesty, and creditable to his Scouts - , subjects. 'ro contribute to so important an objtct, the preceding hints are hastily thrown together. 133, George-street, Edinburgh, JOHN SINCLAIR. Nov. 12, 1821. N.B. It appears from the account of the Crown revenues cf Scotland, printed by order of the house of Commons, 28th June 1821, that these revenues amount to 77,0001. per annum, and that the charges on them are only 95,0001., leaving a surplus of 18,0001. per annum, three years of whic, or 50,0001. in all, ought at least to be appropriated for the expenses of his Nla jesty's journey to Scotland, in order to render it as manaiftecrit and beneficial as it ought to be. (I)Any recent attempts to revive animosities, it is to be hoped, will be speedily repressed. (2) It would be right that, in one great procession, all the teachers and educating individuals in Edinburgh should ps-is in review before his Majesty. It would be a new and most in teresting spectacle. (3) The Highland Ball given in the Assembly Rooms cf Edinburgh last Spring, is acknowledged to have been one of the most delightful and brilliant spectacles that has ever been exhibited. (4) More especially in Lindsay of Pitscottie's History. THE WEATHER.—The variableness of the cli mate of Great Britain has never been more re markable than of late. On the 2nd instant, at six in the morning, Fahrenheit's Thermomete: stood at 602 degrees ; at the same hour on thr: 4th of July last, it was only at 5'2 ; so that at one period in the middle of the present summer it was SI degrees colder than in the month of November. On the night of Nov. 1, at York, the minimum of the thermometer was 49; on the night of the And of July last, it was 36 ; being 13 degrees colder. On the sth of November, at the same hour in the morning, the Thermome ter was at 30, being 19 degrees colder than three days before. Last Tuesday another k 30,000 was sold !:). Shares by CARROLL. No. 11,48 was the lucky Ticket, and the fortunate hohlers may receirt. their Money on demand. This reminds us that the very last 230,000 Consols was sold by CAR ROLL; and it is confidently anticipated that, as CARROLL is so peculiarly fortunate in selling f'30,000 Prizes, that another will also be sold by him, before the close of the present Lottery, at his fortunate Offices, 19, CORNIIILL, and 26, OXFORE•STREET. For several weeks past the Small Pox has been raging in this town and neighbou7hood, and has carried off, we regret to say, a considerable number of children. In one close nu fewur than five children have died, one of whom was twelve and another thirteen years of age. In the town of Kircudbright the same disease has beet& pretty prevalent and, it is reported, that seve ral children have caught the infection, who had been previously vaccinated. In every one of ,hose cases, however, the malady ',ras greatly naL , diflcd, and led to no fatal consequences.-- (D wrfrics Courier.) EQUITABLE ASSURANCE OFFICE.
