I t was de livered up to the Duke of WIRTEMBURG, com manding the besieging army, not'on the first of January, according to the capitulation, but on the following day, and the surrender is Uncondi tional. The whole of the garrison became pri soners of war, and.the French part of it ‘vas im mediately put on march for. Russis.

English Oinnium is at 21 per cent. premium ; French five per cents. at 41. Such is the result of the War on the English finances ! From the papers by the Jamaica Mail on Wed nesday-, we learn, that three laws have passed the Legislature in favour of free people of colour— to make their evidence good in all cases against -whites—allowing them to possess property to any 'extent—and'obliging all persons possessing slaves •to have a' white person serving in the militia for every hundred negroes in their possession. These laws passed the Assembly with only two dissen tient voices, amidst a great deal of popular cla mour and in opposition to two petitions against the measure from the town of Kingston.

This, ac cording to report, is his favourite character, and his performance of it may certainly be ranked al together as his chef-d'ceztcre. In other characters there is some predominent feature which gives a . cohniring to the whole; but in Hamlet there.is such a call for.variety of ,expres,iion, as dew* acuteness, knowledge, sensibility, a philosophic spirit, and even a degree of humour, as can only be answered by a master, in the art. There was a numerous audience, and the performance had its merited proportion of attention and applause. When Mr. CANNING left Liverpool on Saturday week, after a fortnight's residence, it was the earnest wish of his friends to have paid him the ' same mark of attention as on the day of his lea"- ' ing the town after the election, by.escorting his carriage on horsebackAo the end of the first stage ; this measure they did not abandon with out great:reluctance, and not till Mr. CANNING was understood to have intimated iris apprehen sions that, if such a compliment was paid to him on this occasion, he should never be able to come among them-again, on a private visit, with out appearing to come in search of similar mani festations of their kindness. THE BOURBONS.—In one of BUONAPARTE'S last visits to the Theatre, an orange was thrown upon the stage, in which a Louis d'or was deposited, and the following label, " Frenez le 19:44 et re jettez le cores.", ? ?.• 6WPCDtANO. • net-maker, resiclihg in .Castle-street; ton applied to the Sitting Magistrates at thi t Ofhed yesterdy, for their adViCe on the fOilt beck= sion stated that abotit the 15th bc.• Ff - tOef last; Geckrge and des-1 Chlrigf theinseis:es to lie_ living at N0..17 ; Edward=st. tt; CaVeoi§li=sqtiare, erne to his shop, and Otte hire an - order for several articles Of household ft r which were to be paid, for - on delivery. 4 - 7 -- tle accordingly scat home the goads,, giein hi man a bill and receipt for the amount ; vthicti 451. l ys.

Mr. Pieliford refused to give up the furniture, unless by an order from the Sitting Magistrates of any 'of the Police Offices. The Magistrates fouled themselves much em barrassed at this narration., and informed the Complainant .that they felt much for, him ; .but al 'though the law gave them power to prosecute persons for stolen property, it was Much deficient In the present instance, and wanted amendment ; inasmuch as it did not go. to protect the honest trades Man from the swindler. They could not in terfere where goods were delivered under false pretences, unless, by straining the law a little, an act of felony might be made out.—Complain ant accordingly lodged examinations against thli parties. DUBLIN, JAN. 22. • CARAVATS. We lament to state that 'the Caravat system, which has so long disgraced the interior of the county of Waterford, , has at length reached the bounds of this county. Last Saturday. night an an attack was made by a set of armed ruffians on a woodman of / Mr. Smyth's, of Temple-Michael, for a gun entrusted to him., Timothy Sheehan, a poor man who lived in an adjoining cabin, wens towards the place attacked; when one of the lains instantly fired a pistol, and shot off a great part of his skull. The poor man was next day brought to the Youghal infirmary, and expired in great agony on-Twestlay night last. A few nights ag,o,-a l uAinaber of Con,nty Water. ford men came into the town of Youghal, and took foreible possession of a large piece. of ground used as a military and yeomanry parade ; theyar pe.ared as masons, with large trowels, and at day break had the walls of a small house raised some feet. The novelty of the scene, and the smell•of whiskey, brought numbers of idle people to the. spot, so that on Mr. Green, the owncr - , going with a few friends and labourers to possess him- self of his grouted, he was resi&ted-by-a-siolent limpb, was pushed.and struck by some of the party, . and if the Mayorhad not erit.eally arrived with a guard, and read the Riot Act, there is little doubt but many liyes would have been lost.. Se .yerat of those persons have been taken into cus t•ody: _ ROBBERY.—John Bru,7e, a highway robber of gigantic stature, being 'six feet three inches high, was arrested on Wednesdaysnorning, under the following curious circumstances :—On Tuesday night he went out , on asobbing - excursipt, be.- Sweet) the Bleeding Horse and the Circular Itoad, an ominous neighbourhood, where Tuite so lately murdered Mr. Goulding. He met a Mr. Taylor, from whom he took his pocket-hook; he fortu nately happened to have -no money about him, nor did the pocket-book contain any thing but memorandums. Our Rambkr proceeded on to Harcourt-street, and met Mr. Benjamin J. Sisson, of Clare -street, ,whbm he knocked down, Jumped on his body, and took from him a silver watch and gold seal. The night being very severe, he met no other prey i and being tired of strofling, he finished Ills excursion by retiring to one of .the Hotels in Pye-corner ; there he staid all night ; next morning he sent tile watch by one of the maids 'in the house 1.0 pledge at Mr. Stevenson's in. St. Andrew's-street. She'not giving satisfac tory answers to certain troublesome questions, be put her in the watch-house, and had her sent to Duke-street Police-Office to account how she got the watch. In a short time after, in comes Mr. Bruce ! Ile told Mr. Stevenson, that upon his ho, hour he sent .the maid with the watch, and re quested him to give it back and liberate her.. Me. Stevenson, not liking the appearance -of Mr. Bruce, told him to go to Duke-trect, and. if proved his property to the satisfaction of the Ma gistrates there, that his watch would he returned; and the woman set at liberty. He had, the asto nishing foolishness or hardihood to go there ; and on examination by the Magistrates, he neitl;er could tell the name or number of his watch, nor_ what was the inscription on the gold seal att4ch ed to it. A strong suspicion arose in the minds of the Magistrates that he had robbed some person ‘of the watch, and they ordered him into dole .custody for further examination. In a little time after, , Mr. Sisson called at the Office to mention the circumstance of the robbery, and haVing de scribed the watch and robber, Bruce was ordered* u p, when Mr; Sisson instantly recognised, a . nd, lodged_ examinations against him. He now lies in Newgate to abide his trial at the next CoM mission. On Sunday last, a man named William Quillle, by trade a tailor, was buried at Priiir's Bush, the place of interment chiefly adopted by persons of the. Roman Catholic persuasion. The deceased having been 4 Yeoman, and, as we are informed, also an Orangeman, he was buried with military honours. Whether this had the effect of irritat ing the opposite party, we cannot say ; but we are sorry to state the fact, that the 'coffin, with the body, was raised from the grave-yard, amt conveyed to the new Bridge near Ormeati, where it was left on one of the arches. This is 'S T 1 out rage of such disgusting atrocity, and so tepug nant to every decent feeling, that no pretended cause of offence can palliate its enovnity.t--,testfat
