TTIIS- 1 the ggoti, acierS e op .ction tort.! Itt ICe . jurn ound :e iu ward the justification of disorderly interference be tween the soldier and his officer ? It is wonder ful that such a plea should be urged, and doubly surprising that it should be advanced by one who has, himself been a soldier!—The KING'S authority in this case was not impugned, during the other night's debate, by any argument worth notice. The expediency of his possessing it was questioned (strange to say) on popular grounds, but was supported by unanswerable reasons.— Thus terminates the attempt to elevate Sir Ito- BER T AVILSON into a martyr: the next experi ment, a much more preposterous one, is to make a hero of Mr. WAITHMAN. We hope this will be as easily disposed of, so that the House of Commons may not be detained longer than is necessary from business of more general interest. It is. observed by a Correspondent, that from the factious outcry which has been lately raised against Ministers, in consequence of the part which they took in the case of Sir ROBERT IVILSON, we were led to expect that when the gallant Ex-General stated his opinions upon the subject to Parliament, he would have brought forward such facts, and established such mali cious intentions on their part, as would have con vinced the world that he had been treated with illiberal and vindictive harshness. But how much weremwe surprised when, - after having read through with patient attention the speech which he is reported to have made on Wednesday even ing, we could discover no other ground for com plaint than this :—Sir ROBERT WILSON, an Offi cer of Rank in the Army, and who, from his si tuation, it would be expected, would have felt it his duty to have upheld the just rights and pre rogatives of that benevolent MONARCH from whom he had derived so much favour, seems to think that he better evinces his gratitude by en couraging those Unquiet spirits who would deny their KING (he whose virtues fill all good men - with admiration) not only the necessary splen dours of a Court, but even those trifling luxuries shared almost generally by his subjects; and upon the occasion of the funeral of Her who had for so many months been rendered the instru ment of riot and con f us i on , h e sanctions, by his presence, a riotous mob in their endeavours to frustrate an arrangement made after clue delibe tation by. Government, and with a wish to gratify all considerate men by preserving the public tranquillity—a mob, to whom the particular route Pursued could be a question of no interest, and who, it is likely, would not, like the Irish drummer, have been satisfied with either the one or the other route. He, by his own confession, affixed the term " disgraceful " to the conduct of men in the patient exercise of an harassing duty, for no other reason than because they de fened themselves from the attacks of a ferocious Populace,who had set all orderat defiance,and this, trot as would be at first imagined, when com manding at the head of his regiment, but, as he then stood, in the character of a private indivi dual. And for this gross act of military in subordination, his MAJESTY, in the exercise of his undoubted prerogative, thought proper to dismiss him ; and when we consider that a man, even in the humblest situation, can do the same thine with his servant, without assigning any c ause," i s it no t monstrous " that we should have heard so much about the ill conduct and want of Principle exhibited by 'Ministers ? But the Mob must have something .to clamour about:— at. one time they had the Corn Bill—Agricul tural Distress ; then the QUEEN ; and now Sir ROBERT Wir,soN.---We wonder to what these human e Gentlemen will next direct their at tention. Th e French Papers of Tuesday, Spanish Jour nals to th e I s t, an d a Flanders Mail, bringing P apers to the 12th instant, have arrived since °nr last, from which we give extracts in a pre ceding column. They contain no fresh intelli gence respecting the relations between Turkey 4 ' 41 Russia. The French Chamber of Deputies is still oc "Pied with the proposed law on the Journals 44 ( 1 Periodical Writings. On Monday M. de I ARI:IGNAC, the Repo r t er o f th e C omm i ttee, was l eard in reply to the objections made to the prin ciple of the Law, after which the PRESIDENT :earl the Ist article, w hi c h p ro hibit s t h e esta ulishrnent and publication of any Journal or Pe tiqical writi ng , t rea ti ng on po li t i cal news or t thject s , without the previous authority of the I ,f intsr.

After a long animated debate, the Amendment was re ',.ctecl, and th e Ch am b er a dj ourne d till the next b a Y, when the discussi on on thi s su bj ect was to I resumed. Charleston Papers arrived this morning to the 1 1 ,_ 01 Jan., and Norfolk Papers to the 15th Jan.

ICharleston Courier, Jan. 10.) FROM HA VANNAR.-Under the Marine head 4 yesterday's paper we mentioned that Lieut. iills.;tasEy, of the United States brig Enterprize, '4l broken up the piratical establishment at Cape Antonio. We understand this information reached Havannah just before the Comet sailed by a vessel from the Cape. It is stated that most of the crew of the Ente/prizT were landed in her boat, but that the pirates fled on their ap proach. The ship Liverpool Packet, RICH arrived at Havannah from Rio Janeiro, was twice boarded and robbed by pirates on the passage. In one instance the mate was hung up to extort confession of money being on board, and when first cut down was supposed to be dead. " TRADE OF ITAvANNArt.—Our correspon dent has forwarded us a statement of the arrivals in that port, from the Ist Jan. to the 31st Dec. 1821, amounting in total to 1322 vessels. We have to notice the frequent and repeated depre dations which have been committed of late on the coast of that island by a set of miserable beings who are most confirmed pirates. We regret to state that the entrance of the port is filling up, and the channel by which three-deckers for merly entered without difficulty will to-day barely permit =ll-gun ships to pass. Few ship wrecks have occurred in that port—during the year 1821 three alone occurred. " TRADE or NEW YORK.—There were in the harbour of New York, on the 31st ult., 70 ships, 51 brigs, 40 schooners, and 300 sloops." IRELAND. Apprehension of eight men charged with the mur der of .BRERETON, Agent to the Tralee Jlrril • Coach Company. W. H. I , VIiITE, Esq. having received informa tion, late on Friday night last, obtained through Jemmett Brown, Esq. against a number of per.' sons concerned in the above horrid murder, pro ceeded the next morning to Mill-street, and with the assistance of Sir Hugh Gough, K.C.B. Colonel of the 22d regiment, and Henry Wallis, Esq. of Drishane, and a party of the military, marched from Mill-street, at twelve o'clock on Saturday night, to the parish of Kilcummin, (about half-way between Hill-street and Killar- ..—• ney) whe❑ they succeeded in apprehending eighi men, one of whom has given important informa• tion to Mr. White.—(Cork Mercantile Chronicle Fell. 11.) The Worshipful the MAYou. of COP.K has arrived at the Waterford Hotel, Sackville-street. lie is the bearer of a dutiful and loyal Address from the Citizens of Cork to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, exprecsing their congratula tions on his accession to the Government of his native land.—The Address is highly creditable to the Citizens of Cork, and must, we doubt not, prove a source of gratification to his Excellency,l from the loyal and temperate terms it contains. The Mayor has been particularly deputed by his fellow-citizens to the honourable duty of pre senting it in person.—(Dublin Corresljondent, Feb. 12.) On Thursday a train of baggage -carts passed through here, from Dublin, going westward, with clothing for thirteen corps of yeomanry. They left appointments for three corps here.—(Clon mel Herald, Feb. 12.) Mr. Hum E.—lt has been suggested that this gentleman should move for a list of all the per sons who went to India in the year 1799, without the permission of the East India Company, and were therefore ordered to return, having procured hell' situations by unauthorised purchase. LANDLORDS AND TENANT.--The following fadmirable sentiments and patriotic declarations of the Duke of BUCKINGHAM deserve an impe rishable record ; they may tend more than all the speeches at all the County Meetings yet held, to shew how agricultural distress can be most effectually relieved. After a dinner given at Stowe, to no less than 130 of his Grace's tenan try, he told them that he had directed his steward, at the next Lady-day audit, to make a reduction on that audit of 20 per cent. on their rents; " and I further pledge my.,elf," said the Duke, " that it is my intention, on Midsummer day next, to institute a minute inquiry into the situation of all my estates, of every individual farm and farmer, and then I shall make a final arrangement of rent according to the times, whe ther they shall be better or worse. I trust that this will enable you to live i❑ contentment on your farms. I mean that you should do so. It will be for the benefit of us both. We must stand or fall together."—The Duke's health having been drunk with great enthusiasm, he said, in return ing thanks, " What is most satisfactory to me is, that this good understanding exists between me and a body of tenantry holding their farms at will. I know that there are fanciful itinerant agriculturists, who go about the country speak ing exclusively in favour of long leases, as bene ficial to tenants, and deny that tenants at will are equally benefitted. I have not a tenant on lease upon my estates in this county, and yet I could shew those Gentlemen, were they in this room, a young man, whose family have been tenants at will to my family, upon the same land, upwards of a hundred years. A tenantcy at will shews an honourable confidence in both parties. Up to the present time I have no arrears of rent among my tenants of that description ; but I know that those Gentlemen, who have granted long leases, cannot say the same of their rents. Every tenant of mine knows that he shall remain in his farm as long as he can live on it. Ile has the full benefit of his improvements if he remains upon it ; and if he is obliged to leave it, he appoints one referee and I another, and an equivalent for what he loses by leaving his farm before his improvements are fairly worn out is thrown back to him in his rent. What can the ad mirers of long leases want more ?" On tak ing leave, the Duke said, " I hope we shall meet again in happier and better times ; 1 they cannot be bad for you and better for me.— I cannot live in this house, if you do not live in your farm-houses. The poor who depend on you cannot live in their cottages, if you cannot live in your farms. The beauty of the CONSTI TUTION of this country is, that we are all linked together in one chain ; if one link breaks the whole is disunited. I will live as long as I can in this house; and I declare, that let the times be what they will, I will never go abroad and spend ,your money there," THE THEATRES. DRURY LANE.-A new afterpiece, in one act, intitled Love in Humble Life, was represented for the first time last night. It is altogether a light and pleasant comic sketch, and is under stood to be taken from the French. The fable is simple :—A soldier named Ronceslaus had re ceived a large sum of money from his Colonel, who died. He gives part of it to a girl, named Christine, a bar-maid, who had nursed him when in a wounded state, and intends the rest for his father, but he finds is dead. His gift, which he had sent without revealing the donor, has enabled Christine to become the mistress of an inn where he stopped for refreshment. He offers her his hand, which she declines, having promised to give it to her cousin. After some little perplexities, he generously unites the two cousins, and gives them the remainder of the money intended for his deceased father. The piece was so well represented by COOPER, as Ronceslaus, KNIGHT, as the cousin, and Miss S BOOTH, as the heroine, that it was received with general applause. COVENT GARDEN.—The Tales of my Land lord, one of those Scotch novels which have at tained such extraordinary popularity, have given birth to another new Musical piece, which was brought forward last night, under the title of The Legend of Montrose, or the Children of the lllist. As the Romance is so well known, it is needless for us to detail the plot, to which we of course refer our Readers, particularly as there is no ma terial deviation from the original. It is sufficient to say that on the whole the transfer to the stage has been uccepted by the audience. The Performers, particularly LISTON, CONNOR, ABBOT, DURUSET, Mrs. FAUCIT, and Miss STEPHENS, gate it effec tual support. The only objection was to the in troduction of horses, for the audience did not seem to think that the moral purposes of the drama could derive any great support from Quadruped Actors. However, this difficulty was in the end surmounted, and the general beauty and grandeur of the scenery rendered the piece successful. The Overture was composed by Mr. BISHOP, and the rest of the music is stated to be selected by him, Mr. WARE, and Mr. WATSON. On looking at the printed book of the songs, we find no mention of Mr. HAwus, who, as we see by his advertisement (see our front page), arranged and composed the air of '' 0 we're a nocldin, &c." which was beautifully sung by Miss STEPHENS, and was the most ad mired in the piece, and who also has added Go much to another song, " Charlie is my darling," also sung by the same delightful warbler. We hope that the musical gentlemen whose talents have been employed in this drama were not aware of what Mr. HA wrs had done, for we are not willing to suppose that they could he capable of an in tentional suppression of his name. The poetry is of a better order than usually appears in pieces of this description; but whatever is derived from WALTER SCOTT must indicate the inspiration of the Muse. The piece, with the temporary objec tion to which we have alluded, was received with warm anti well-merited favour, as the Managers have done their duty in bringing it forward with " all appliances and means to boot" that could tend to secure public approbation. FOR THE SUN. MR. EDITOR—The following is to be found among the Papers of Sir JAMES WARE : " QUEEN Malty having dealt severely with the Protes tants in England, about the latter end of her reign, signed a to take the same course with them in Ireland ; and to execute 1,1,0 game with greater force, she nominates Dr. Cole one of the Conann. , ioners. This Doctor coming with the com ing that iourney, th e M ayor o f t h at city, hear _ mis sn t h o e C r l i r i s a t i e e r s , ty o , w h; a s - .ing a messenger into Ireland, the Doctor, who in a dis and he being a churchman, waitect, course with the Mayor, taketh out of saying unto him, " Here is a commissioi. loke-bag a leather box, that shall lash th e heretics of Ireland," (callin g th e Protestants by t title.) The `1 good woman of the house, bein g well affected to the r " , testant religion, and also having a brother named John Ednionw, the same, then a citizen its Dublin, wa s m uc h troubled' at the Doctor's words; but watching her convenient time, while the Mayor took his leave, and the Doctor compliment ed him down the stairs, she opens the box, takes the commission out, and places, in lieu thereof, a sheet of paper, with a pack of cards wrapped up therein, the knave of clubs being faced up permost. The Doctor coming up to his chamber, suspecting nothing of what had been done, put up the box as formerly. The next day, going to the water side, wind and weather serving him, he sailed toward Ireland, and landed, Oct. 7, 1558,at Dub lin. Then coming to the Castle, the Lord Fitzwalters, being Lord Deputy, sent for him to come before him and the privy ,council ; who coming in, after he had made a speech relating upon what account he came over, he presents the box unto the Lord Deputy, who causing it to he opened, that the secretary might read the commission, there was nothing save a pack of cards with the Knave of Clubs uppermost, which not only startled the Lord-deputy . and Council, but the Doctor, who assured them he had a commission, but knew not how it was gone; then the Lord Deputy made answer, " Let us have another commis sion, and we will shuffle the cards in the mean while." The Doctor being troubled in his mind, went away, and returned into England, and, coming to the Court, obtained another commission; but staying for a wind on the water-side, news came to him that the Queen was dead ; and thus God pre served the Protestants of Ireland." Queen ELIZBETH was so delighted with this story, which was told her by Lord FITZ-WAL TER on his return to England, that she gave ELIZABETH EDMONDS, whose husband's name was MALTERSHAD, a pension of forty pounds (luring her lifetime. (See Cox, Hibernia Anglicana, Vol. 11. p. 308. Harleian Vol. V. p. 568.) Now, Mr. Editor, if ELIZABETH EDMONDS re ceived so great a pension for so paltry a service, will you be so good as to ask the Dublin Even ing Herald, what should be the reward of DA NIEL O'CONNEL, Esq. for his timely, judicious, and salutary Letter to his Roman Catholic Countrymen, lately published in Ireland ? Your's, &c. Bath, February, 1822. Z. Z. BRIGHTON, FEB. 13.--The KING to-day and yesterday walked on the Palace Lawn, but did not otherwise appear in public.

The Mayor of a town in Burgundy, hearing at HENRY IV. of France, was to pass that way, and thinking himself to he a great orator, determined to display his abilities on this occa sion. When the Prince approached, the burghers were put under arms ; whilst the mayor, at the head of the corporation, pulling out a long piece of parchment, began to harangue as follows : " Of all the towns that have the honour of beinc , within the compass of your Most Serene High ness's Government, the very least would be over joyed to make you sensible, that none has so great a zeal for your service, or affection for your person, as ours. We very well know, that the certain way of pleasing the greatest warrior of the present age, is to receive him with thundering' of numerous artillery; but for us, alas ! it was im possible to fire 1 cannon, for 18 reasons. The first is, that there never was such a thing as a cannon in this place, since it was built. The second—" " Hold, hold," says the King; I am so well satisfied with this reason, that I shall excuse all the rest." RECIPE FOR MAKING EVERLASTING SHOES.—A Nobleman of Gascony (for all Gascons are noble men), complaining that his pumps did not last long enough, the humble shoemaker asked him of what stuff his Lordship should like to have them made—" Make the vamp," said he, " of the throat of a chorister—the quarter, of the skin of a wolf's neck—and the sole, of a wo man's tongue." The astonished Crispin made bold with a second question in the shape of a timid and hesitating " Pourquoi ?"—" Why ? you blockhead," replied the wag, " because the first never admits water—the second, because it never bends on either side—and the last, be cause, though always in motion, it never wears out."
