SUBSCRIPTION For the RELIEF of the WlDOW'and CHILDREN of the late CAPTAIN HENRY HALES, Of the Ship °EPLEY, Southern Whalers of London, Who with the Second plate; and Boar's Crew, Were inhumanly Massacred by the Spaniards, on the Island of at.. Maria, COast of Chili, on the 2.lth of February last, under circum stances of the most aggravated barbarity, by which dep l o rable event his Widow and Orphan Children are left entirely des titute of the means of Subsistence. THIS Melancholy . Catastrophe occurred o n a 'voyage to the South Sea , Fishery,—Captain HALE, sailed froningland in the Ship Othey, about the month of October 11120, and having doubled Cape Horn, after a tough passage, early in fB - 21, he put into the Island,of Maria, which is uninhabited, on the Coast of Chili, to re-fit.--On the 24th of February, about 10 A. al, several men were seen the beach, and Capt.-Hales supposing them to be Spaniards, who had come over from the Main, went on shore with his Smond Mate, Armourer, and four Seamen, armed, ior 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 beech to gether, and 1r , was. fiuppos.ed tha-t Cap:. • Hales wes iu treaty ' with them for provisions, and was gone over to the Sotith 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 The therri, which returned with information, that on - their approach, several strange men were seen on the beach, and from their Movement! , more were supposed to be' concealed, and it being near dark, it was deemed most prudent •to retur n to the ship without venturing to land. .The following morning no ,tidings . having been received of the party 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 Armourer, covered with blood, and seyerely 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, aiming 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 hoard, where the Sur_ gedn examined him, and found his wounds mortal. The boat had no 'sooner returned, than a number of men were seen Coal 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; he was accompanied by three or four, who appeared to pc 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 niuch 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 Ofiley immediately weighed anchor, and stood for Conception, and at 5 P.M. 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 hasleft 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 humane l y con tribute to the relief ofi 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.

As the following Prospectus has been freely circulated among the higher ranks in the metro polis, we are surprised that it has not found ad mission into some of the public Journals. We insert it with great pleasure, as the Institution is highly honourable to the patriotic liberality of its ROYAL PATRON, and is calculated to be of essential advantage to the character of the Bri tish Empire. The number-of the Associates, we understand, has been completed, by the election of persons of distinguished talents, high literary attainments, and well-knawn moral worth : ROYAL SOCIETY of LITERATURE, Instituted under the Patronage, and Endowed by the Munificence of his MAJESTY KING GEORGE - the IVtli, for tile PRO MOTION of GENERAL LITERATURE; to consist of a President, Vice-Presidents, and Council : Fellows, As sociates, and Honorary Members. ORIGIN AND ENDOWMENT OF THE SOCIETY. An accidental conversation which took place in October, 1820, on the advantages which might be expected from the Institu tion of a Society of Literature, somewhat resembling the French Academy of Belles LettreS, having been communicated to Sir - Benjamin Bloomfield, and by him to the King ; and his Ma jesty having expressed his approbation of the proposal ; a gene ral outline of the Institution was by the Royal command sub mitted to his Majesty's perusal. On the 2nd of November, the person, who in conversation suggested the proposal, received his Majesty's minima ads to attend hit:3Al al?...sty at earltoit House, for the purposed digesting the best mode of giving effect to the Undertaking; and was entrusted by his Majesty with full li berty to arrange the plan of the Society; The Institution hav ing, in its origin, no connexion with politics, or party of any kind, no applications were made to his Majesty's Ministers for their countenance or support, though its origin and progress were respectfully communicated to the Secretary of State for the Home Departinent. Learning is, by principle, comprehensive and liberal in its views; and though the higher branches of Literature have a natu ral connexion;with peace, loyalty, and established order; yet, as the Founder and Patron of this Society, the King presents him self to his people, singly, as the friend of Letters, as an example of munificence, and the promoter of what has been lung want ing to the litera??y credit of the country. His Majesty having been pleased to express, in the most fa vourable terms, his Royal approbation of this Society ; and having honoured it with his munificent Patronage, by assigning the annual sum of one hundred guineas each, for ten associates, payable out of the Privy Purse ; and also an Annual premium pf one hundred Cuineas for the best dissertation on some inter esting subject, to be chosen by the Council of the Society ; The following Regulations have been adopted as the basis of its proceedings:— OBJECTS OF THE SOCIETY. The objects of the Society axe, to unite and extend the gene ral interests of Literature; to reward literary merit by patron age; to excite literary talent by premiums.; and to promote literary education by bestowing exhibitions at the Universities and public schools, in cases of distinguished desert.

The• Society's Premium .0 Fifty Guineas t 'For the best Poem on the FALL of 429NSTANTXNOPLE the Fifteenth pentstry. This Premium has been n;gmented from Twenty-five Guineas. f The Premium proposed last, year on the, subject of Dart moor, was at judged Mrs. Hemarrs, Author of the " Sceptic," " Verses to the Mealory.of the late King," *e. It has already been stated in the Papers that there was some dispute as to the Lord Great - Chamberlain of England's claims to the Corona tion property in, Westminster Hall,, which ac counted for the non-removal of the Royal table, the galleries, &c.; but the Kr: 4o has lately signed the warrant, authorising Lord GWYDYR, • the acting Lord Great Chamberlain, to take down the various temporary structures in and about Westminster Hall, erected for the purpOses of the Coronation, and to remove and dispose of the same. Lord Gwydyr and Dorset Feßowes, Esq. his Lordship's Secretary, were, at the time that the authority was signed, in Paris; but they im mediately returned to London to superintend the removal and dispor , al of the Carious property, a nd to give directions regarding the arrange-1 ments for his MAJ EiTY to open the Parliament in person.—On Wednesday the whole of the Coro nation property in and about Westminster nail, was sold for Lord GWYDYR, by Mr. D. Fa:. LOWES, to Mr. PAGE, in one lot; and Mr. PAGE immediately set an immense number of men to work, aided by numerous caravans, to take down and remove the property so purchased. The grand chandeliers, &c. in the Hall were first re moved ; but Thursday was chiefly occupied with clearing the Old House of Lords, the Painted Chamber, &c. which were literally filled with tables, forms, and various wood and frame work, which had been used in the several dining rooms, as well as to make arrangements for the' ingress, egress, and comfort of the visitors. — The Royal table, with its splendid coverings in Westminster Hall, is already removed ; and the throne, seat canopy, Ste. are being taken down. The splendid. drapery, with the Royal coat of arms, &c. will be retained by Lord GWYDYR ; and his Lordship has given directions - to have the whole affixed at the end of his dining-room, at his Lordship's reidence in Hamilton-place, Picca dilly. On being conveyed thither, it was ascer tained that fortunately the drapery would fit without requiring to be cut. It will be made to constitute something like a national, as well as a ,splendid, decoration, of the Lord. Great Chain berlain's town mansion. Fronting this Corona tion-drapery will be placed his Lordship's side board, surmounted and decorated with the vari ous portions of plate received . as Coronation services by his Lordship's family for ' several hundred years ; and the most prominent parts of what will thus constitute a rich as well as a singular display, will be the 300 ounces of plate, besides a gold ewer, his Lord ship's reward for his arduous services at the late Coronation.—The beautiful gilt cornice which surrounded the canopy of the throne-seat, and which was tastefully decorated with the rose, the thistle, and the shamrock, has fallen to the share of D. FELLOWES, Esq. who has presented the same to his brother. They will be converted into cornices for window-curtains of Mr. F.'s brother's neW residence, at Haudby. Some other relics of the Coronation have been eagerly sought after by various Noblemen ; they have been presented with settees, or double chairs, used at the dinner tables in the hall. The whole of the removals are being conducted with the greatest order, as well as rapidity ; and in a few days, without doubt, the Hall, the Cham bers, the Committee-rooms, &c. will be entirely aleared.—lt may not be uninteresting to add, that the Hall, after the removal of the Corona tion structures, - will not have its proportions af fected by any temporary buildings for Courts, or any other purpose. The Law Courts at the ,end of the Hall will not be rebuilt; the plan of the late Mr. WyArr (the late King's Architect) will be partially adopted—that of building Courts for the King's Bench and Chancery be hind the stone buildings, and in line with the Courts of Common Pleas and Exchequer; there will be entrances into them from the Ball, similar to that into the Common Pleas. IMPORTANT TO POSTMASTERS.—Yesterday, at Queen-square Office, Mr. A DAms, a Postmaster, pleaded to informations, the first under the 57th of GEORGE 111. charging him with not having his christian and surname, together with his place of abode, painted on a conspicuous part of a gig which,he had for hire ; and the second under the 15th of GEORGE 111., for neglecting to enter in the Stamp Office weekly account, thereby neg lecting to pay the duty. He was convifted in the penalty of 10/. for the first -charge; and being liable to the penalty of 20/. for the second, he would have had to pay it were it not for the Solicitor of the Stamp Duties urging the dis missal of the case. THE CAluTl.Es.—On the 3d instant, the So ciety-for the Suppression of Vice obtained a' war rant against G. Clarke,Carliles shopman, for the sale of a work containing a libel on the „King and Government, by virtue of which he was appre hended, and taken before Mr. Justice 13Atr.c - v, at his Lordship's chambers, from -whence he was committed to Nevgate for want ; of Pall. _The defendant behaved in the most iasoleait .manner in the presence of the Learned Judge, and threatened an action against the .Society for a false arrest.

THE IMMACULATE CON CEPTION OF TILE HOLY VIRGIN," whom they state to have been conceived and born without original sin. Brady, the author of the Clavis Calett dada, says, that in support of this doctrine on the one hand, and in opposition to it on the other, more has been written than perhaps upon any other point of Ecclesiastical Controversy. One author, Peter D'Alrea, has published. forty-eight folios on the nusterics of the Conception. How ever, in the Church of Rome, even, the circurn - stances attendant upon this immaculate concEp - tion are not held as an article of faith, but': merely reckoned a "pious opinion.” That the IfoLY VIRGIN, who had received the immortal glory of being the Mother, and of fostering the Saviour of Mankind, should become the object of veneration, is a circumstance not to be wondered at or objected to. 'Every pious Christian must hold her remembrance in the most profound respect : but it is much to be lamented that a mis taken zeal has prompted the Church of Rome to of fer to her prayers and adorations, due only to the DEITY, and to attribute to her powers, referable solely to that OMNIPOTENT SOURCE. In the Popish countries, the Virgin is still the principal favourite of devotion, and is addressed by her superstitious devotees under titles, ill suiting with the reformed sentiments of this conntry.— Under these titles they profanely implore her ,to afford them salvation by the power, which, as a mother, she is inferred to possess of " com nzanding her Son !!" The Virgin was not gene rally invoked in public until long after the year 4SO. STATE OF THE COUNTRY. (FROM A SUNDAY PAPER.) The effects of the war are now passing away, and time is acting upon the springs of our national resources. Our exports and imports are new nearly as high as they were during .the war. The average yearly tonnage of British ships, durin4 the war, was about two millions and a half. la 1812, one of the best years, it did not exceed two millions:six hundred thousand. Now in 1821, when the'accounts were laid before Parliament (at the beginning of the current year), the actual yearly tonnage exceeded two millions six hun dred and fifty thousand,,---an increase of fifty thousand tons upon the greatest year of the war. In the best year of the war, about the year 1S P. 2, the average amount of the imports did not ex ceed thirty-five millions; whereas in 1819 they exceeded 37 millions ; and for the present year are estimated to exceed that sum - by (our or five millions. With respect to our exports, the same favourable state of things will be found to exist under every branch of them. The inter nal trade of the country is also in the same flou rishing condition. From the lists returned to the Quarter Sessions in Yorkshire, it appears that during the quarter ending at Michaelmas, more yards of woollen cloth have been manufac tured, than have ever been known to be produced in the like period during the memory of man. With respect to the cotten manufactures,.every machine has been in full employ, and every weaver at work.. Wages have risen, and hands have been in constant demand. It is quite im possible to estimate the quantity of cotton goods manufactured ; but if we may credit the Ameri can accounts, which, speaking on these subjects, have no interest to deceive us, that the cotton trade of England has exceeded, within the pre sent year, any period of our trade. It appears that about five hundred thousand bales have been grown in America during the last year, of which upwards of three hundred thousand have been exported to England, and principally to Liver pool and Glasgow. It appears, likewise, that there has been exported to England more than double the amount which had been sent to all the rest of the world ; and four times the quan tity which has been shipped to France ; bilst the proportion which America retains for her own use is scarcely more than one fifteenth part of what she exports to Great Britain. The work men's wages are, indeed, lower than they were during the war ; but the necessaries of life are more abundant in the weaver's dwelling. We cannot spea4 so favourably of our trade in hard ware and manufactured iron and steel - , but an en ormous increase has taken place in our export of unwrodghl iron. Twenty-five years age we imported iron from Sweden and Russia, and we are now the laro - n est exporters of iron in the world. By the report of the House of Lords on the silk trade it appears that there has been manufactur ed in Great Britain, during the last year, twelve million pounds of silk, which is an excess of two millions upon the quantity consumed in France. A black man, by the name of CR.EIGIITCW, who has accumulated considerable property as a barber in tharlestpn, South Carolina, sailed from that port on the I7th instant, in his own schooner, the calypso, for Sierra Leone, where he and his family and severalpther free .persons of colour have gone for the purpose of settling and spending the remainder of tiwir days.
