Iwo' CO' f 1 ; 3- both rtie l° es ses, s c io both TRADE WITH CHINA. We inserted some time since an Edict issued by the Chinese. Government against theimpQrta. tion of opium. The following paper, received on Saturday, shews that the infraction of this Edict has been punished by the confiscation of part of the cargoes of the offending vessels:— " Taou Kwang, Ist Year, 10th Moon, 11th Day. [PAPER SENT TO THE PRESIDENT BY 110WC/ilA.] _ - • " Keigh, the Magistrate of the' Nawhai district, and Wong, the Magistrate of the Pawqu, issue the following ,in obedience to order. " We have received an official document from Ching, the Paochingsye (or Treasurer) of the Province, whicli coutains the following : " On the 22d of the moon of the first year of Taou Kwang I received an official document from Yuen, the guardian of the Prince and Governor General of the two provinces Kwang Tong and Kwang-se, couched in these words. " The Hong merchants have, in obedience to orders, stated to Government that they have found out three vessels—Heks (Hog;,) and others, all of whom have opium on board, which they have brought with them into the port. Opium is a com modity which is produced among foreigners beyond seas, and. thence flows in and poisons China. Often have Imperial edicts been issued prohibiting it, and I with the Hoppe have issued seven prohibitions against it. I have now found out, by in quiring,, that foreign ships which enter the port still smuggle it in, and I have ordered the merchants to their face to in quire about every vessel, and report the facts to Govern ment. These Merchants have pow stated, that the country ships, lieks, Pikense, and the Anierican Kuppulin, (Hogg, Parkyns, and Coupland,) all l. ve opium in them, conaa- Ay to the, law of the. Celestial Empire. Now as the ships • Rzfgenie, Merope_, and .Emily,' have been discovered to cont ain opium, it is right to reject the whole of the cargoes; but as some have landed goods and , some have not_ and some have taken goods and some have not,. which is a different case from those ships just entered—concerning those whi c h h ave a l rea d y sold—it is decreed, that the security_merchants shall calculate' accurately the original cost in the respective country to which the -ships belong, and shall, out of clemency, give one-half to the foreigner to whom the, commodity belongs, it being only per mitted, however, to give in goods and not in money ; and an order shall be issued to the Ta-pan to wait for these goods for three months after said ship leaves the, port, when he may put. them on board some other ship, and send them home to his own country. He shall not be allowed to put thein on board the original ship. The other half of the value of the landed goods, and the profits which have been made on them, shall be con fiscated for the use of Government. The unlanded goods shall be rejected, and the opium it shall be the duty of Howqua or others to take out of the ship and burn, and let the ships which contained it be expelled the port, and compelled to return to their own country in five days. 44 In one word, ordinary goods, if smuggled, are liable to be confiscated ; and how can these three ships, which have brought a prohibited commodity against the mandate of the Celestial Empire, be permitted to escape without severe punishment to correct the gain scheming hearts of foreigners ? The Celestial Empire allows a trade of tea to keep alive these nations, and the said foreign merchants clandestinely Sell opium to injure China. Neither Celestial principles nor. Royal law allow this— let the aforesaid three ships not only, be disalloWed trading on this occasion.; but moreover it is right to set a mark upon then, and for ever disallow their coming to Canton again to trade. As to all these merchants who carelessly secure every ship that had opium on board, by rights they should be broken, and their crime punished ; but as _they have. themselves made the disclosure, let them as an act of clemency, be forgiven. Hereafter the foreign ships which shall enter the port ought to be secured by the first four inerchants--Howqua, Mowqua, Pankequa, and Chunqua ; they must not throw off themselves on the under Merchants.—These four merchants are opulent and substantial people, and will, no doubt, out of regard for their own persons and families, feel awe and dread. " Let a communication to the officers of the Fooquen and Hoppo be made. We, receiving the above, in obedience thereto issued it to the Hong merch a nt s , an d requ ired them in the most rigorous manner to proceed to obey the tenor thereof.—A special • Edict. " Taou Kwang, Ist Year, 20th Moon, 23d Day." His MAJESTY'S yacht the Royal George has been ordered to be ready for his MAJESTY'S re ception on the 25th instant. We understand she can go out of harbour to-morrow if necessary.— The Hon. Sir CHARLES P.AGET, and Officers of the .Apollo yacht (which is in the basin, in an ordinary course of equipment)- will attend his MAJESTY in the Royal George yacht, for this season.—(Portsmouth Paper.) Yesterday the Duchess of GLOUCESTER visited the Princess AUGUSTA. Their Royal Highnesses rode out in a carriage together, and proceeded several times round St. James's Park. The Princess SOPIIIA visited the Duke of YORK yesterday. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, we are happy to say, was yesterday considered a little better. It is said that two new Irish Dukes will be created at the close of the Session. ' Yesterday dispatches arrived at the Secretary of State's Office, in Downing-street, from Sir . THOMAS MAITLAND. His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK has made over his estate at Oatlands , with the 0-row r, • ing,crops, &c. to Trustees, for the payment of his debts. The Trustees are the Earl of LAU DERDALE and Colonel STEPHENSON. By the terms of the arrangement all debts not exceeding 501. are to be paid immediately in full.—(Morn ing Paper.). His MAJESTY has given a donation of one thou sand pounds towards erecting a Welsh College, in Cardiganshire, for the education of Students designed for the Church. At the late audit of the Duke Of RUTLAND, at which it was expected that his Grace's tenantry near Newmarket would pay rents due to the amount of between eight and nine thousand pounds, not a single thousand was received. Saturday last the Treasurer of the County Limerick received a communication from Go vernment, directing him to withdraw the -war rants from the. Baronial Constables that autho rised them to receive the amount of the levies presented at the last Assizes.—( Cork .zidvertiser, .ligy 4.) THE ORPHANS' FUND.—The LORD MAYOR. has appointed a Special Court of Aldermen for to-morrow ; and a Court of Common Council is also summoned for Thursday, for the purpose of taking into consideration a Bill now, before, the. House of Commons " for the Better Regulation of the Fund called the Orphans' Fund." • • THE LATE FIRE IN THE STRAND.—A search has been made in front of the shop next the Strand, where a con siderable quantity of spoons, forks, tea pots, and other silver ar ticles were picked out; but in such a state as to prove the intense heat to which they had been exposed. The former were com pletely run into solid masses, and the latter were destroyed, and partly reduced to dross. The plate glass of the windows was melted into large lumps, and not a single article which had been placed on shew appeared to have escaped the destructive effects of the flames. The preservation of some articles of dress which were in the back drawing-room was surprising. These were principally contained in a small trunk belonging to Mrs. Fearn, and were very valuable, consisting mostly of lace. The trunk fell among the ruins, and was not touched by the flames. Among other ornaments in the same trunk was a portrait of Mr. Fearn, set round with brilliants. This too escaped without injury. A new Cot., which was tied up in a silk handkerchief, and lay on a chair in the same room, likewise fell amidst the ruins, but neither the handkerchief nor coat was injured except from the water. In the area under the shop window a great number of snuff boxes, watches, chains, and other articles, have been found. The watches, many of which were gold repeaters, are reduced to solid masses, and the snuff-boxes have been burnt in holes, and nothing that has yet been discovered is fit for any other purpose than being put in the smelting pot. The ruins will be carefully searched under the superintendence of sweepers, as the purifiers of metals are called, and all that is recovered will, of course, go in diminution of Mr. Fearn's heavy loss. THE THEATRES. KING'S TIIEATR E.—Don Giovanni drew a large and Splendid audience to this Theatre on Saturday. The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER were present. The Carnival of renice was the tallet, but all concluded long- before the time of canonical) limitation. HAYMARREIN—John Buzzlk y, if he does not enjoy a day of pleasure - himself, is likely to afford many a night of pleasure to the public.-- This very entertaining piece went off admirably on Saturday, and Linos, as Lingo, in The Agreeable Surprize, renewed in no small degree the universal pleasure. y , ENGLISH OPERA /10USE.-The very affecting drma of The Blind Boy, Love among the Roses, and The Turnpike Gate, were well. at tended on Saturday. Miss KELLY was highly interesting in the first piece, and that prodigy, Miss CLARA FISHER, very entertaining in the last. The Company is now respectable indeed, and likely to secure a good season. COVENTRY RIBBON WEAVERS. • • • [From the Coziehtr# . Het aid of July On Friday last a new scale Fif pikes, considerably below the standard of 1819, was circulated by some ribbon manufacturers in this city, which created.a great sensation amongst the nun rouS class of personS engaged in that importa n t b ranc h o f busi nes, The difference ine prices was considered so material, and sb piejudicial to the interests of the artizan, that a general strike took place ; and on,Monday. Morning scarcely a loom was to be heard at work throughout the whole extent of the city.: On that wining a numerous meeting . of weavers and townspeople assembled in a close nearly adjoining the London road, to dis cuss the grievances' Connected with this new list of prices; when was resolved that anlappeal of a petitionary nature be presented to the masters, stating the cause of ; their complaints, and.praying for their removal. The appeal was handed, in a printed form, to the manufactUrers: In the evening a second -meeting was held at the same place, for furthering:the object in view,.and to report progress. On Tuesday morning the weavers paraded thrOugh the streets of the city, and proceeded in silence to the i !formai place of meeting. In the evening they again assembled to discuss the grievances contained in the•new list of prices, ' • On Wednesday morning and evening meetings took place, and the weavers paraded the city as usual. In the evening a report was made of those masters who had declared themselves in favour of the list of 1819. Their number was 65. • On Thursday 20 masters signified their assent to the Old list of • prices ; making in the whole 'B5 .manufacturers who. have acceded to the wish Of the weavers. There was also a meeting of the masters, at which a Committee was formed, in order to come to an amicable arrangement with the workmen, which i we sincerely hope will be the result. OLD .BAILEY, NEW_ MODE OP PLEADING. E. Burke who was committed for perjury utfered at the trial of his brother, Tobias Burke, for bigamy, which took pl a c e on Wednesday, was brought up to plead to the indictment which has been found against him for that offence.. When asked by the Clerk of the Arraigns whether he was guilty or not ,;uilty, he answered, in a• real Munster brogue, By the Powers, I can't pladc; I am but a poor ignorant body, and , have got a dear crature and some little honeys at home, in my own country." The RECORDER told him not to talk nonsense there, and that he must plead either guilty or not guilty. Burke—" Fait, your Honour, I don't know whether I am guilty or not." Tlie.RE CORDE n then told him he might either take his trial or traverse it till the September Sessions, and asked him which he would rather do. Burke.—" Your Honour ! if you have any punishment for me, I had rather, if you place, t ake it now." RE CORDER.—" YOR must either plead guilty or not guilty. Burke.—" Then, your Honour, I'll not be guilty." He was then remanded to prison; but, on the application of Mr. ANDREWS, was again brought up, and stated that he now wished to traverse, till next Sessions. The Court granted his request, and he was ordered to find bail, himself in 80/ .and two sureties in 40/. each. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LANCASTER RACES; TuEsrui, JULY 2.

One •of these handkerchief dealers, a Jew, of the name of Davis, was brought up on Saturday before Mr. Alderman ATKINS, charged by Parry, the street keeper, with thus offensively carrying on his oc cupation in Bridge-street. As this was the first offender charged under the new Vagrant Act, which passed on the 24th June last, and as the fellow pleaded his ignorance of the law, and ex pressed contrition for his conduct, the Magistrate permitted him to go at large after a suitable ad monition, FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

The pedestal is alreadylinished, and displays to the admiring Public the following appropriate inscription in large letters of gold TO ARTHUR DUKE OF WELLINGTON - AND HIS BRAVE COMPANIONS IN ARMS, THIS STATUE OF ACHILLES, CAST FROM CANNON TAKEN IN THE VICTORIES OF SALAMANCA,VITTORIA, TOULOUSE, AND WATERLOO, IS INSCRIBED BY THEIR COUNTRYWOMEN. THE PARK AND THE GARDENS.—Hyde Paik yesterday was better attended than we ever recollect it to have been so late in the season. The fineness of the weather contributed not a little to produce so great an assemblage of all ranks and descrip tions. The Four-in-Hand display gradually decreases ; but we never saw more elegant equipages than were exhibited, from the landau down to the cabriolet. By the bye, the latter vehicle is become so general that the dennet and the buggy are nearly exploded. The Duke of. York now sports one of the most tasteful we have yet seen. The Duchess of Rutland's barouche was much noticed. Kensington Gardens were crowd ed with elegant company. In fashion there was nothing new. The Ladies in high life dress in a style less *Frenchified ; sim plicity seems to be the prevailing leading feature. DUKE AND DUCHESS OF CLARENCE.—The Duke an 4 Duchess of Clarence, travelling under the name of Count and Countess of Munster, passed through Ghent on the 2d, on their way to the country- sea t o f th e Duchess of Saxe-Weimar, their sister. At Antwerp crowds of people go to admire the Royal yacht which conveyed the Duke and Duchess of Clarence from England. Numbers of boats are continually going backward and forward, filled with persons curious to see the interior of this splendid vessel. It is said that the Captain (.J. Brenton) has deferred his departure to gratify the curiosity of the public. —( Brussels Paper.) ISLE OF WIGHT.—The day for the Hyde Regatta is not yet fixed, as it is proposed to wait until it is finally settled when his Majesty will begin his aquatic excursions, in order to have • it during his Majesty's cruises in this part--The Pier at Hyde is to be carried' 500 feet farther into the sea forthwith. COWES, JULY li.—The Members of the Royal Yacht Club having come to a resolution to assemble the Ist and 34 Monday of each month, for the purpose of sailing in com pany for the day, the first meeting for the season took place in Cowes Roads on Monday the Ist inst. when, at ten o'clock A.M. the yachts which bad arrived fliom the neighbouring coasts, and those which had remained in the Roads at anchor during the night, were seen all in motion, actively employed in getting under way and quitting their moorings, waiting the signal for starting from the Pearl yacht, whose owner, the Marquis of Anglesey, had been chosen Commodore for the day.

B y t h e h our o f eleven a salute announced the approach of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, who entered the ground in the .full uniform of Field Marshal, and was accompanied by the Duke'or Welling.. ton, in the uniform of the Oxford Blues.

Highness and other distinguished personages seemed highly gratified. The troops - seemed to p ossess t h e highest spirits, and their superior appearance excited the most marked attention. _After having gone through the ceremony, his Royal Highneks, - &c., quitted. the ground, and with the Duke of Wellington, proceeded to Apsley House, the residence of his Grace..—The troops after wards gradually dispersed, leaving a great majority of the company behind them ; but the ground was clear by 5 o'clock.

Our head-quarter ship, on her passage out, struck en a reef of rocks on the north side of Antigua during the night of the 29th and 30th January, but was got off without any lives being lost. It caused us, however, to be detained. in that island nine weeks, so that we did not reach here until the 12th instant. The 50th is at Spanish Town, and 92d on the north side of the island."—(Doncaster Gazette.) ROYAL NAVY, 4c.

LETHBRIDGE., one of the Members for Somersetshire :—" Sandhill Park, the patrimonial yesitence of the Honourable Ba ronet, is to be vacated, and he retires to a habi tation at Luxborough, better suited. to the hum bler fortunes to which he must accommodate himself, from the perverse state of the times. Individually considered, this is to be regretted ; but, as a gnomon which points to the certain fate of a very large, efficient, and most valuable class of the community, the event 'is pregnant with the most dismal forebodings."
