BOWRING. LETTER from MR. BOWRING to MR. CANNING. Boulogne Prison, Oct. 24. SlR—After 13 days of solitary and severe confinement, I ant permitted to address you. I have been shut out from ali com munication with my Government, my lawyer or physician, with my family or friends, During this imprisonment an attempt was mad*o remove me to Paris by a warrant from the Judges there. I resisted, and resisted succe;sfully, under the protec tion of one of the articles of the cede de procedure (the 100th), which there was every disposition to violate. It would appear the Government begins to feel that it has' been too rash and arbitrary in its proceedings. I have under gone another long examination—secret as usual—and even the presence of an interpreter denied, though formally demanded. Four pages of interrogatories had been sent from Paris. Not one question among them had a reference to that " revolu tionary correspondence" of which I was suspected of being the bearer, and on that plea, and that plea alone, delivered over to the various acts of outrage of which I have been, and still am, the victim. I again inquired with what I was charged, and demanded the act of accusation. None exists : the ground pre viously taken even seems abandoned. Some justification, some plea of justification, would of course be expected by you, and a long series of questions have been sent in consequence—some of which they deemed might possibly lead to a confession, or a detection, which might palliate their arbitiary proCeedings. They suspeci, me (they say), though they venture not to accuse me, as the proces verbal will show, of being engaged in a plot with individuals (whom I had never seen), arranged in Lon don (from whence I was far distant at the time), to rescue from prison (though I never heard even of the place of their confinement) the young men who were lately executed for political offences, (with not an individual of whom had I ever any the slightest intercourse). They suspect me of fur nishing the pecuniary means for their escape, though not 1,000 francs have passed through my hands since lave been in this country. The charge is as visionary as it is false—it is false in the aggregate—it is false in every individual detail ; but to support it, the whole machinery of moral torture (for the due operation of which a fortnight's sufferings are supposed to have prepared the victim) is put in action, and it is expected to en trap some new fact by a snare so widely and so artificially laid. Sir, it is from this monstrous system of inquisitorial cunning and violence that I appeal to my country and to you. Aban donded to the resources of my own mind—a mind stronger, however, than all the strength of tyranny—l have hitherto had to struggle with every thing that artifice and oppression could direct against me—abandoned, among criminals, without so much as a single presumption, however weak, of crime. It cannot surely be tolerated, that a man, and an English man, is to be hunted from suspicion to suspicion—each base less or absurd—till something shall be found, or something shall be fancied, which may serve to veil the original acts of violence. If so, the ends of suspicious despotism are gained— the sufferings are inflicted—the innocent object of dislike is buried in his dungeon. This, Sir, cannot be done with impu nity. I have confidence iu the dignity of your character : I have confidence in the high spirit of my country. Some re dress will be demanded for the past—some security will be ob tained tbr the future. I have the honour to be, with every sentiment of respect, Sir, your most obedient and most humble servant, (Signed) JOHN BOWRING. To the Right Hon. George Canning, his Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, &c. &c. ACCIDENT FROM GAS. The Opera-house end of Pall-mall was yester day at noon thrown into the greatest consternation by a sudden and tremendous subterraneous ex plosion, that was more like the discharge of heavy ordnance under ground than any thing else. All the inhabitants in the fine new shops consti tuting the Opera-house Arcade, and in the houses on the opposite side of the way as far as Cockspur street, were instantaneously out of their residences, thinking that their own habitations were tumbling about their ears. Pall-mall and the Opera-house Arcade were immediately filled with people ; and their alarm and amazement were not di- minished on beholding an immense volume of flame, accompanied with a strong smell issu ing forth from the dilapidated front of the house belonging to the " Westminster \Vine Company," at the corner of the Opera-House Arcade. The shop fronts were completely blown from their stations, and dashed on the pavement in thousands of pieces ; and within the premises there appeared nothing but ruins. The indivi duals hurried forth from the 'premises, presenting an extraordinary appearance. One of them ele vated his hands, from which blood was copiously running ; the second had still a wilder and more extraordinary look, the hair on his head being singed nearly to its roots ; and the third person, apparently one of the masters of the Wes twin ster Wine Company, had ru❑ from the premises on hearing the terrific explosion, and on beholding the shop windows and other fix tures blown from their stations with the most frightful crash. The immense explosion, and this sudden ruin, were the result of an accidental ignition of gas that had escaped from the gas pipes, owing to some defect in them, or to the gas not having been properly " turned off," and had wholly occupied the cellars under the Wine Company's shop or counting-house, at the corner of the Arcade. The clerk and cellarman were proceeding to the cellar to fulfil some orders, and the approach of a lighted candle caused the ignition of the vast body of gas that had escaped from the pipes and filled the cellars. The whole, of course immediately exploded, and for a time left the two individuals almost senseless. The ignited gas,in the progress of its expansion, beat down win dows, doors, partitions, several hampers of bottles, all which were spread on the cellar-floors nearly shattered to pieces ; and it thence made its way up stairs to the floor which is even with the street, and dashed out the whole of the shop fronts as already described, carrying with it ruin and ter ror. It could be compared to nothing but the fury and devastation of an earthquake. The clerk, whose hair was so severely burnt, on escap ing from the house, ran off with horrific haste to such a distance, that for some time it was not known what had become of him ; indeed, till some person appeared to bear testimony to his flight, his master and companion feared that he had fallen a victim to the fury of the dreadfully severe and alarming gas explosion in the cellar. We could not learn whether he had sustained any injury more serious than what has previously been mentioned. The explosion did not fire the premises. Firemen were promptly on the spot ; individuals connected with the Gas Works in Peter-street, Westminster, were also immediately sent for, and instantly obeyed the summons; and the Arcade iron gates were closed, so that the premises were protected from those inroads being made upon them, which, as the crowd was so great and mixed, might have otherwise sub jected the proprietors to further severe losses. — (Morning Herald.) THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE.—We have chiefly to notice the repeated representation of The Road to Ruin at , this Theatre last night, which was attended by a very numerous audience. NIUNDEN gave a very affecting portrait of Old Dornton, and ELLISTON was not less effective.in representing the thought less gaiety of Young Dornton, and the conse quent miseries of gaming. By the ivay, it is very creditable to him, as the Manager, in bringing forward this Play at the present period, as it seconds the laudable, efforts of the Magistracy to check the progress of that fatal vice which, in deed, leads to The Road to Ruin, and has brought so many to despair and destruction. — KNIGHT fOr the first time took the part of Silky, and, considering his merit in the representation of juvenile rustics, it was not a little to his cre dit that he was able so well to personate the vil tau of a town-made Miser. The restoration. of DOWTON to this Theatre occasioned the revival, last night, of the Farce of What's Next, in which he appeared to admirable advantage, and was ably supported by HARLEY. COVENT-GARDEN. - The Cornedy of The Won der was repeated last night,- and throughout ad mirably performed.—Mr. C. ji.EmßLE's Don Felix' is one of his best efforts.- Miss CHErrEtt confirmed the approbation of the public in her Violante. Mrs. GIBBS completely represented Flora, and rendered it as prominent as any cha racter in the piece.—The new Farce of The. Irish Tutor went off most successfully, and again testified the spirit and accuracy with which CONNOR. can represent the peculiar characteristic honour of his countrymen in O'Rourke. Tam'. TnEaTtucaLs,—When Monsieur Ton son was performed for the first time in this City, we expressed the very warm admiration which it so justly. excited ; and now that we have seen it a second time, we can with confidence bear testi mony to its extraordinary merits, and declare that scarcely any theatrical performance was ever found, on repeated representations to give more genuine and exquisite amusement than this cele brated Farce. It is true that all the weight of the acting falls on Mr. TALBOT ; but, in most good Farces, one actor does the business; and certainly no one was ever found better qualified than TAI, BOT to sustain the whole burden of a piece. All the laughable situations in which Monsieur Mor bleau is placed, seem heightened, as the persons who perform the minor parts become more perfect, so that each performance serves the purpose of a good rehearsal. We do not mean to puff Mr. TALBOT by this remark, for it is well known that after playing it fifty nights in Dublin, and having well studied it for a metropolitan audience, he can want little in the way of rehearsal; but the per formers who never saw the piece before the parts were placed in their hands, could not be expect ed to be up to the author's meaning, ` pr, what is nearly as necessary, stage effect ; therefore we repeat that the performance, matured as it is now, is truly a dramatic treat of the most de licious flavour. We cannot pass, without ap probation, Mr. STACK as Tom King, whose whimsical volubility and easy action were truly excellent last Thursday night; and Mr. SEY-• MOUB, who to adapt himself to the taste of the • town, altered Nap, from an English to an Irish Watchman ; this was not "perfectly correct, yet we were pleased, and think Mr. SEYMOUR par donable for giving a character that the audience were well acquainted with, instead of one they have only by hearsay, particularly as it is a new piece, and its being no matter what countryman Nap the Watchman is. We understand that this Farce will be again brought before the public early next week.—For our own parts, we care not how often we are obliged to laugh at Mon sieur Tonson.—(Curk Advertizer, Oct. 26.) MR. MATHEWS IN AMERICA.-Mr. MATHEWS appeared last evening before a full and brilliant audience, and we never saw an audience more absorbed and delighted. If the experiment had not been fully tried, it would be considered in credible, that any one man, by the variety of his tones, the extent of his theatrical reading, the flexibility of his countenance, and the rich hu mour of his sty le and manner, could satisfy raised expectation, and keep his hearers, in either a roar of applause, or in a state of tranquil plea sure. There is no stage trick about his arrange ments or his subjects. He does not Redd the ad ventitious aid of scenery. The admirable ease with which he changed the costume of his cha racters, as it were in the eye of the audience ; the facility with which he adopted the pronunci ation and manner of the French, either correct or burlesqued—the wonderful power of managing his features, and adapting them to the variety of personation he exhibited—the general and per feet knowledge of English manners which he dis played ; and the good nature with which heheld the " mirror up to nature," all these showed us, at least, something which we have never seen before. An ordinary strain of panegyric for Mr. MATHEWS would be inappropriate. Those who do not choose to see him, can stay " at home." His songs were introduced with great felicity, and excited high applause. In short, he is one of those men who may be properly termed a singu lar character. And we are not aware of any principle of the sublime religion, that furnishes the best of our hopes, which forbids us to " laugh when we can, and be happy when we may ;" when our mirth is unalloyed by a single senti ment, or allusion, which could shock th e mo st scrupulous mind. It may not beimprope r to add, that Mr. MATHEWS' powers, in some scenes, give a very pleasing specimen of ventriloquism. Few of the audience could readily believe that the valiant and rapid changes of his voice in the dia logue were from the same lips.—(Baltimore Pa triot, Sept. 24.) We have much pleasure in stating, the Committee for ma naging the affairs of Lloyd's have transmitted, through their agents, Messrs. John Friend and Co., the sum of ten pounds to Wm. Molland, George Archer, Wm. Joliffe,- John Bybus, and Thomas Davis, for their humane exe rtions in sa ving the lives of the crew of the Ox fishing-boat , belonging to Folkestone, whicli foundered in a gale of wind some little time back, on outside the harbour of Dover.—( Kentish Gazette. ) FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

Lord and Lady Kennedy, Major and Mrs. Leith Hay, Mr. and Mrs. FarquharSon of Finzean, the Honorable Miss Byng, Miss 'Erskine, and Mr. Carnegie of Charlton, on an excursion to the Forest of Mar, arrived on the 15th instant, at the Fife Ann's Inn, Auchindryne ' and from thence pro ceeded next day to view the water-falls, and the picturesque scenery on the banks of the Dee. On Thursday, the party were invited to Mar-lodge, the Earl of Fife's !hunting seat, and were amused with a wild boar hunt in the Caledonian forest. After the animal had been hunted for a considera ble time with stag and grey hounds, he was fired at with ball, at one hundred and thirty yards distance, and both his tusks shot off by Lord Kennedy at the first fire. After seve ral shots had been made by the gentlemen who joined in the chase, the boar fell, receiving six shots through the head and body. .The party afterwards dined with his Lordship, and in the evening joined the " mazy dance," and " tripped it on the light fantastic toe," to the enlivening strains of the bag pipe. Several of the Highlanders were dressed in full costume, and exhibited the Highland fling in its true style : at a late hour the party retired, highly pleased with his Lordship's hos pitality and polite attention. In the course of the week, Lord Kennedy and Mr. Farquharson killed several very fine red deer : on Friday evening a grand ball was given by the latter at the Fife Arms Inn. —(Edinburgh Observer.) • ~...- 7 - - .t..""‘ . .. • =', ........ •-..... , , . .... 4 , . ; v A," - .14 ,+ n ' A. 4 ._ ..... ),,,, ~ ___ 4. 11 . ..,...iite 44, • r e , t ,l i 0,,. its, ~:-., ~.,.,_#,.

The stars looked down on the battle-plain, Where night-winds were deeply sighing, And with shattered lance, by his war-steed, slain, Lay a youthful Chieftain 'dying. He had folded round his gallant breast The banner, once o'er him streaming, For a noble shroud, as he sunk to rest On the couch that knows no dreaming. Proudly he lay on his broken shield, By the rushing Gaudalquivir, While, dark with the blood of his last red field, Swept on the majestic river. There were hands which came to hind his wound, There were eyes o'er the warrior weeping ; But he raised his head from the dewy ground, Where the land's high hearts were sleeping ! And " Away !" he cried. " your aid is vain„ My soul may not brook recalling, I have seen the stately flower of Spain As the Autumn vine-leaves falling ! " I have seen the Moorish banners wave O'er the halls where my youth was cherish'd ; I have drawn a sword that could not save, I have stood where my King hath perish'd ! " Leave me to die with the free and brave, On the banks of my own bright river ! Ye can give me nought but a warrior's grave By the chainleas Gaudalquivir." TO DRUNKARDS.

A new Independent Chapel, built on the site of the old one, in Week-street, in this town, was opened for Divine Worship on Tuesday se'nnight. Three appropriate sermons were preached on the occasion, by the Rev. John Clay ton, of the Poultry Chapel, London ; the Rev. Alexander Fletcher, of Albion Chapel, London ; and the Reverend John Liefchild, of Kensington. The congregation each service was numerous and respectable, and the collections liberal.—On Tuesday last the new Baptist Chapel, erected in King-street, in this town, was opened for the like purpose. The Revds. Jen kin Thomas, of. Oxford, and J. H.

HOP INTELLIGENCE. Sou THWARIC, OcT. 28.—We have a dull trade for Hops of every description, but more particularly so for Middling Bags and Weald of Kent Pockets. TIIE ORIGIN OF TITHES IN ENGLAND.—Tithes were not uncommon among the Jews, but they were chiefly confined to a tenth part of the spoil taken from the enemy.—Bishop Barlow, Seldon, and others, have observed, that neither 'tithes ncr Ecclesiastical Benefices were ever heard of in the Christian Church, or pretended to be due to the Christian Priesthood; and, as that Bishop observes, no mention is made of Tithes in the Grand Codex of Canons ending in the year 461 Selden contends that Tithes were not introduced here into England, till towards the end of the eighth century, i. e. 786.—About the year 1794, Offa, King of Mercia, gave unto the Church the Tithes of all the kingdom (Mercia) to expiate far the death of Ethelbert, King of the East Angles, whom in the year preceding he caused to be basely murdered. -( This was one way of appeasing the wrath of God.)—Tithes were before paid in England by way of offerings, and about 60 years after OfYa's establishmen t,E thelwolf enlarged it for the whole kingdom. Charlemagne established the paymentof Tithes in Franee (A.D. 778), and made the famous division of them into four parts. One to maintain the edifice of the Church, the second to support the Poor, the third to the Bishops, and the fourth to the Paro chial Clergy (a most suitable and just law). The next au thentic mention of them is in the laws agreed upon between. King Gertrum, the Dane, and Alfred and his son Edward the elder, about the year 900.—Blackstone says he will not put the title of the Clergy to Tithes upon any Divine right, though such a right certainly ceased with the Jewish Theocracy, &c.— (2 Comr - ti. c. 3.) THE SERPENT AND THE BRIDE.-011 • the sth August, in Jackson county, United States, a Co roner's Inquest was held on the body of Et IcmARD DAVID, who was found dead in the woods: The Inquest, on examination, was of opinion that his death was occasioned by the bite of a rattle snake which appeared on his ancle. He was to have been married on the day following to Miss CATHAB.INE CHAMBERS, Of this county, and was in search of his horse to ride on the occasion, when he received the deadly blow. No intelligence being heard of him until the morning of the day in which he was to have been united to Miss CHAMBERS, she made the necessary preparations ; the marriage party was collected, and were waiting in merrymood the approach of the expected bridegroom, when they received the painful intelligence cf his death. The scene was then changed and the intended bride, together with all who had as sembled to witness their happy nuptials, repaired to his burial. The reader can imagine the feelings of those who witnessed this solemn scene better than we can describe them.—(lndiana Farmer.)
