EDITOR—The recent disputes between the Newcastle Coal Owners and the Keelmen appear to me to call for the serious attention of Government. The Keelmen are now, it is said, living on the funds of the Friendly Societies, which is un doubtedly a perversion of the intention of the benevolent founders. I beg to suggest the propriety of bringing into' Parliament a short Bill that no relief should be granted by any Friendly Societies or out of any Saving Banks by the Treasurers, (under a penalty) to workmen out of employ, except to the sick and aged, during the time there is any rising of workmen in the neighbourhood, to re dress grievances, or pretended grievances, and while the peace of the neighbourhood is endan gered or likely to be. *** Temple, Nov. 16, 11122. THE LATE CHARLES DIBDIN. The extraordinary talents of the late CHARLES DIBDIN, as the best Lyric Writer, and Composer of original Melodies, that ever appeared in this or any other country, has induced some admirers of Genius to unite for the purpose of raising a public Monument in memory of his talents.—The first meeting of Gentlemen was held at the Free masons' Tavern, October 24th, 1822; JOHN YOUNG, Esq., in the Chair. The following Resolutions were unanimously adopted : That it is the opinion of this Meeting, that the extraordi nary talents and perseverance of the late Charles Dibdin, con duced greatly to benefit, as well as to amuse and instruct, society in general ; but that the tendency of his writings and compo sitions, towards promoting a brave and daring spirit in the Bri tish Navy, entitled his name and memory to the highest re spect and veneration of all classes. That it is with feelings of deep regret that this Meeting con templates the apparent indifference hitherto manifested, in the neglect of some public acknowledgment of his exalted talent ; but that it is the unanimous opinion of the Gentlemen present, that the subject only need to be brought before the Public to insure a general and liberal support. _ _ That this Meeting, under a confident impression that they are consulting the best feelings of the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, and more particularly of the Musical and Dra matic Professions, by affording an opportunity of comme morating his life and writings, pledge themselves to promote a General Subscription for the purpose of raising a Monument to his Memory. That a Committee of five be appointed, with full power to act, and to add to their numbers if they think necessary ; and that they be hereby instructed to proceed forthwith to carry the object of the Meeting into effect. A second meeting was held yesterday evening at the same Tavern for the same laudable pur pose. Several literary and naval Characters at tended, and JOHN YOUNG Esq. was again called to the Chair. This Gentleman, whose talents as an Artist, and whose judicious superintendance of the British Institution, render his character highly - respectable, pronounced a brief but em phatic eulogium upon the merits of Mr. DIBDIN, expressing his surprise that so long . a period had elapsed before any steps had been taken to do honour to his memory. A subscription took place upon the spot, and we hope that it will be liberally supported by the public in general.— We are persuaded that Mr. SoANE would most readily present the Subscribers with a design for the occasion that would do honour to his own talents and feelings, and to the departed subject of so appropriate a memorial. CAMBRIDGE ELECTION.—The following Letter 1 . has been circulated by Mr. BANKES'S Committee at Cambridge : Trinity College, Cambridge, Nov. 19, 1822. Sin—The great and unwearied exertions of my friends, fol lowed as they have been by numerous promises of support, afford me the brightest prospects of ultimate success. Under these circumstances, I feel myself called upon to repeat my unalterable resolution of persevering in the present contest ; and at the same time, I beg most earnestly to solicit the sup port and interest of every individual friend to those principles which I have distinctly pledged myself to maintain.—Your presence is most anxiously requested on the day of Election, which is fixed for Tuesday, the 26th instant. I have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient servant, 1 W. J. BANKES. ELECTION OF BRIDGEMASTEIL—The friends of the two leading Candidates were active in the field the whole of yesterday—the polling was very brisk, and great anxiety seems to pervade the Livery on the result of the contest. We under stand that heavy bets are depending. At the don of the poll yesterday the numbers were— For Mr. Lewis Mr. Norton Mr. Shotter 1112 746 DEATH or Mn. DEBRETT.—Died on Friday, the lfith instant, at his lodgings in Upper Gloucester-street, Regent's Park, Mr. JOHN DEBRETT formerly an eminent bookseller in Piccadilly, and Editor of ' the works entitled " Debrett's Peerage" arid " Baronetage." He had been for some time in a declining state of health, and was found on Friday night, about eleven o'clock, dead .in his arm chair at the side of his bed. Mr. Debrett's shop, when in the zenith of his prosperity, was celebrated as the resort of the leading Whig Noblemen and Gentlemen resident in its vicinity, who there spent a por tion of their morning in learning and discussing the news of the day. He had full opportunity of acquiring a large fortune, but from too much confidence in those about him, an easiness of temper, and without thrift, or what is called a sufficient por tion of cautious and careful worldly wisdom, he did not turn it to the best account. He was a kind, good-natured, friendly man, who experienced the vicissitudep of life with fortitude-- who never made an enemy, and died without having forfeited a friend. Mr. Debrett was far advanced in years. FRANKFORT, Nov. 12.—(From a French Paper.)—There was nothing but trouble and alarm on 'Change yesterday.— M. de Rothschild had received on the preceding evening a courier, supposed to have come from Paris. Upon this the most alarming rumours were spread on all sides. It is cer tain that the courier brought a bulletin from the Exchange at Paris, according to which the funds had fallen to 87. It may easily be imagined that, in such a state of things, M. de Rothschild, the source of all the reports in circulation, has been assailed by all the speculators, but he preserved the calmest countenance, and evinced so much reserve, that even his most intimate confidents were unable to obtain single word. [The gentleman here mentioned is Baron Ams chal de Rothschild, the eldest of the brothers of that name, and the head of the house at Frankfurt.] The University of St. Andrew's, which has for a number of years past been on the increase, is this Session more fully attended than on any preceding occasion. On Tues day week upwards of thirty competitors appeared for the foun dation bursaries, which, after a keen contest, were decided in favour of Messrs. John Urquhart, John Craig, and,Laurence Pitkeathly, from Perth, and John Stewart, from Little Dun keld. The laws of the University were read on Saturday by Dr. James Hunter, and, after the usual formality of a Latin nostrum, the Reverend Principal Nicoll delivered a most ener getic address to the students.—( Edinburgh Courant.) THE THEATRES. DRUIIY•LANE.—Mr. KEAN who is justly ad mired for the feeling which he displays in the character of Othello, represented it last night be fore a numerous audience with his usual success. Mr•. YOUNG from Liverpool who made his first appearance on Friday last at this Theatre in the part of Ingo resumed it last night, and being more in self-possession appeared to greater advan tage. His figure and person altogether qualify him for the character, which he appeared to con ceive justly, and rendered prominent in effect.— Mrs. W. WEST excited applause and sympathy in the part of Desdemona. COVENT-GARDEN.- - The powerful impression which Miss KELLY has made upon the public in the character of Juliet, was evident last night in a crowded auditory. Applause, if it has not ani mated her to increased exertion, has kept her to that point of excellence which did 'not appear to require or to admit of any addition, and she re ceived throughout every testimony of general admiration. She had a suitable supporter in the Romeo of Mr. C. KEMBLE, and the unfortunate lovers excited every appropriate feeling in the minds of the audience. The Tragedy is brought forward in a style of splendour not unworthy of so fine a production of our great dramatic Poet. It is rumoured in the theatrical circles that Mr. KEAN has declined to play characters alter- 'lately with Mr. YOUNG, a measure to which, it is said, the latter had readily assented.—Othello, according to report, was the play first mentioned, Mr. YOUNG having agreed to perform logo to Mr. KEAN'S Othello, if Mr. KEAN would allow Mr. YOUNG to be Othello in turn. We do not vouch for the truth of this statement, but it is certainly rife among the theatrical Quiduuncs and Gossips. THE VETERAN WEWITZER.—A. paragraph lately appeared in this and other papers, import ing that Mrs. COUTTS, whose liberal disposition is well known, had settled an annuity on Mr. WEWITZER. The report gained credit on ac count of the benevolent character of the Lady, and because he was some years ago particularly favoured with her kind protection. We are, however, desired to say that the Veteran Son of THESPIS, though now far advanced " into the vale of years " and loaded with the infirmities of age, has no support but what he derives from The TnEATRICAL FUND and the kindness of Mr. ELLIsToN. Mr. WEWITZER, it seems, under a grateful sense of the former kindness of Mrs. GOUTTS, is too diffident to make his present si tuation known to that Lady, otherwise it can hardly be doubted that she would herself feel a gratification in administering to the comforts of a former favourite of the Public, who seems to be almost worn down by age and debility. Duc D'ENGHIEN.—The monument to the me mory of this unfortunate Prince will, ere long. be completed. The cenotaph is surrounded by four figures of white marble. One of these represents the Prince, who is proceeding tran quilly to his execution ; the second is Fortitude, who supports him in his trying moment; the third Malice, who is lurking for him ; and the fourth France, in fetters. These statues are about seven feet six inches high, and the entire height of the mausoleum is 22, feet. The sculptor is M. DESEIM, first sculptor to the Bourbon Conde family, and Member of the Academies of Hour= deaux and Copenhagen. ANOTHER MYSTERY.—It is whispered at the west end of the town, that a package, containing a `,‘ pledge of love," was lately received in London, by a person Whose name is familiar to the public, from an eccentric but distin guished genius, who for some time has not resided on this side of the Alps. It is reported that a letter had previously reached the Agent alluded to, informing him such a package would arrive, and directing bins to take proper steps for having it, as soon after being landed as possible, deposited some feet ' below the surface of the earth, at the root of a particular tree on Harrow-hill, which was specifically pointed out for that pur pose. Application, it is said, was accordingly made to a public, but religious character, for permission to comply with this request, which having been granted after a short hesitation, the package, on its arrival, was buried on the appointed spot. It is further hinted, in a still more obscure manner, that the package probably contained something which was once dear to an English Lady now abroad—perchance not unconnected by tender ties to-the eccentric but distinguished genius who resides on the other side of the Alps.—( Morning Herald.) It is a curious and interesting fact, that the venerable and aged Curate of Prestbury, near Macclesfield, the Rev. Tiros. MONICHOUSE, lately baptized a child whose mother he had christened, and likewise the mother's father. The same Clergyman also married the child's great grand fither.—(illanchcster Mercury.) ACCIDENT.—On Monday last, Henry Wil liams, Esq., of the firm of Williams and Goddard, of Gray's inn, laying left town to attend a meeting of Magistrates at Chalfont, in Bucks, proceeded from thence to his country house, near Bcrkhampstead; and when upon the top of a very • steep hill, midway between that place and Chesham, about ten at night, it being extremely dark and the rain falling in torrents, his horse took fright at some object in the hedge, and galloped at a furious rate down the hill, until at a turn in the road at the bottom, where some alterations are making, he stumbled over a bank into a slough, and rolled over Mr. Wil liams, who became senseless from the violence of the shock, and upon coming to his recollection, lie found himself immersed in mud and water, covered with bruises, his horse still lying by his side. With great difficulty he got upon his feet, and after several ineffectual attempts to get his horse up, it made a sudden spring, and in rising, extricated itself from the bridle, and trotted away. Mr. Williams knowing, from the loneliness of the road, there was no hope of assistance, and that he must remain exposed to the inclemency of the weather during the whole night, unless he could reach Berkhampstead, a distance of nearly two miles from the spot, he made the attempt ; and in about two hours suc ceeded in walking. or rather crawling, to his home, w h ere hi s horse had arrived before him, but in so crippled a state, that it is supposed it must be shot. A box, containing cash and jewels, belonging to a lady, and supposed to have been stolen from her carriage on her journey from London to this town, turns out-to have been purloined by her own female servant who travelled with her. From some suspicious circumstances in the woman's con duct, noticed by the footman (who-also travelled with the carriage), since her arrival at home, he communicated the same to her mistress ; in conse quence a constable was, sent for, who searched the apartment in which the woman slept, and in a trunk belonging to her was found all the cash and jewels, and the other articles supposed to have been lost, with the exception of a trifle of money, which the delinquent said she had spent in London. She confessed to the robbery, and that she had destroyed the box previous to leav ing London. She is now in custody.—( Hull Packet.) o 0 ',. v. • i t ....,.-6'' . -----•-',,'t.r',..,'itV.:-._:',.f„ , :%'4,,,\ , ,f,a , ) "r"' „,...., wi , , p0p5_1.. , ,, , i0 . . 1. 1' 'Mr 7 ,11 ' ' • ' ' FASHIO?ABLE ARRIVALS.

Mr. Greenwood gave a sumptuous dinner to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, and a party of ten other distin guished personages, on Monday last, at his residence in Aud ley-square. Mr. Moore is expected in town this day from France, to put the finisher's hand to the 44 Loves of the Angels" before pub-, lication. Yesterday evening a select party of admirers of Sacred Music had an exquisite treat at St. Stephen's Church, Coleman- street, where a grand Selection from the works of HANDEL was performed on the Organ, in a very superior' manner, by Mr. .MATirEn, the Organist of St. Bride's, Fleet-street. The Selection consisted of the Overture to Esther, the Occasional Overture, the Pastoral Symphony—the Hailstone, Hallelujah, " For unto us," and " Lift up your heads," Choruses, &c. in all of which the Performer displayed great scientific knowledge and execution. The Pastoral Symphony was given with such sweetness and expression, that the Performer was requested to repeat it at the end of the Selection, which he did with increased effect. POETRY. TO A YOUNG LADY ON HER MARRIAGE. The world's esteem be you content to gain, Its admiration leave the gay and vain ; To flattery now no longer lend your ear, But speak with caution, and with caution hear ; Regard not fops, though they in raptures swear You are born for conquest, and divinely fair, 0 ! let the coxcombs see you can despise, And find a fool, though hid in gay disguise ! Each prating puppy then shall hold his tongue, Nor even scandal do your honour wrong. Your husband's love your first attention claims, If he approves, no matter then who blames. And take this truth, though in no flow'ry strain, That love once lost, is ne'er renew'd again. An oath, my dear ! you to high Heaven have made, Each power stood witness while the words were said! Though unpolite, I must the truth convey, Be not surpris'd—you promis'd to obey ! Obedience pure, and unrefin'd by art, That takes its rise from virtue in the heart ; That springs from love, to sordid minds unknown, And reigns in tempers, generous as your own. 0 ! may the man, who from the altar led Your blooming beauties to the bridal bed ; Sooth'd by your friendship, ne'er repent the hour He gave his soul a victim to love's power : 0 ! be it thine, by each endearing art, To gain the soft dominion o'er the heart ; • Then, when the beauties of thy form shall fade, By sickness wasted, or by age decay'd ; Thy mind shall then the transient charms supply, And give those beauties that can never die ! A. Country Paper contains the following grave bull:— " This, this our great concern, our wisdom this— T' improve the day, ere Death's approaching night Shall bid us slumber in eternal peace ; And wake our raptur'd souls to extasy of bliss." Whent COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—The following " Rule of Court," which is of considerable im portance, has bee►► issued : " To prevent unnecessary expence to Plaintiffs suing in this Court, in case of notices given by Prisoners of their intentions to apply for their discharge, under any Act made for the relief of Insolvent Debtors— " It is ordered, that after such notice given to any Plaintiff, no Prisoner shall be superseded or discharged out of custody, at the suit of such Plaintiff, by reason of such Plaintiff forbear ing to proceeed against him, according to the rules and prac tices of such Court, from the time of such notice given, until some rule or order shall be made in the cause in their behalf by this Court, or one of the Judges thereof ; and it is further or. dered that a copy of this Rule shall be hung up in the usua: places. " R. DALLAS, J. BURROU GH, J. A. PARK, J. RicHARDsoK Yesterday was a remarkable day in the:history of the country. On the 20th of November, 870, EDMUND, King of the East Angles, having been attacked by the Danes, and unable to resist them, heroically offered to surrender himself a prisoner, provided they would spare his subjects. The Danes, however, having seized him, used their utmost endeavours to induce EDMUND to renounce his religion, but refusing to comply, they first beat him with clubs, then scourged him with whips, and afterwards binding him to a stake, killed him with their arrows. During the last week the rain in this part of the country (Maidstone) has been almost unceasing, and very heavy; the Medway has overflowed its banks in the neighbourhood of Maidstone to a considerable extent, and the lowlands have been so much inundated as to render some of the roads impassable. At East Peckham, on Sunday night, forty-six marsh sheep, of a flock of 59, were drowned on the lands of Mr. Hatch. Much inconvenience was occasioned on Sunday at Maidstone, in con sequence of the new roof of the Church not being quite finish ed. The rains were so very heavy, that they penetrated into the interior of the building, in spite of every precaution taken to prevent them. This rendered the Church so damp, that the Churchwardens very properly circulated a printed notice of the circumstance, and very few persons attended Divine Service.— Large fires will be kept up,rand by next Sunday it is hoped the building will be thoroughly dry, and fit for the reception of the congregation as usual.—(Maidstone Gazette.) An attenipt at suicide was m ade on Tuesday night, at Westminster-bridge, by an elderly fe male, attired in a shabby black dress. She was observed walking in a dejected manner, and ex cited the suspicions of some passengers ; at length she proceeded to walk down the steps, and was about to plunge into the water, when her rash attempt was frustrated by two men, who convey ed her to a place of safety.

The last and a full meeting of the fighting men and their backers took place yesterday, at Mr. Jackson's rooms, for the purpose of receiving back the stakes deposited for the fights. Mr. Jackson having paid Randal 250/. of his own staked mo ney, and 7501. to. others. Martin complained that it had been reported he did not want to fight; to prove the contrary, he would fight Randal in 2-t hours, for ten sovereigns. Randal said there was nO occasion to fight for that sum, but he would fight him then and there for the 250/. he had just received. Martin was silent. SPRING AND NEATE.—On this money being given up, Spring 'said he was ready to fight Neate from 101. to 2001. of his own money. In the absence of Neate, Belcher was not pre pared to give an answer until the 150/. forfeit was paid. Spring observed they were both well, and lie wished much to try which was the best man. As to the forfeit, it was decided that Neate was intitled to it, and should have it ; any law proceedings would be met by a subscription. HUDSON AND SHELTON.—These men met, and Josh. ad dressing Shelton very energetically, said—o Why a'nt we to fight, Tom ?" Shelton replied, that he meant nothing but fighting, and they who talked about a cross were only ofeard of their money. It was agreed that this battle should take place on Thursday, the 28th instant. NEALE, the Streatham Youth, and the BIRMINGHAM MAN, who were to have fought in the same ring as Shelton and Hudson, will fight this day within 12 mileS of London. Mr. Jackson produced the epistolary correspondence from Mr. Elliot, the backer of Spring, and Martin, and also some ano nymous correspondence about crossing, but which threw no light upon any thing in the cross line. ROBRERY.—Yesterday J. Harris was brought to Bow-street from Leeds, charged with robbing Colonel Ds BURGH, Chapel-street, Grosvenor place, of Bank-notes to the amount of 600/., a quantity of jewellery, together with a very va luable diamond ring, one stone in it weighing be tween four and five carats, about two months Since, at which time he was the Colonel's ser vant. Information was given at Bow-street Office, and Smith the officer exerted himself to pursue him, but without success ; he was at length discovered in a very extraordinary way. A dis turbance took place in the town of Leeds, and Harris was taken as one of the ringleaders, when, on inquiry to ascertain who and what he was, he not being able to give a satisfac tory account of himself, was searched, when seventy-five sovereigns were found, and also the above described very valuable ring ; and. from a variety of circumstances, he was discover ed to be the robber of Colonel de Burgh. He is a particularly ungrateful robber, as he formerly belonged to the same regiment as Col. (le Burgh, and for an offence of which he' was found guilty by a Court Martial, and sentenced to receive 1,000 lashes, after being tied up to receive pu nishment, the Cylonel begged him off, and took him as his servant. He was committed for fur tner examination. DARING ROBBERY.-Yeiterday morning, about five o'clock, as Stracey's Oxford stage-wagger was approaching near to Tyburn turnpike, on its way to Newgate Market, some villains contrived to cut through, the tilting, and extract 14 flats, containing three dozens of butter each, and two sacks of water-cresses, with which they got clear off; nor was the robbery discovered until the waggon stopped at the Green Man and Still, in Oxford-street, notwithstanding there were five passengers in it. A cart was observed to follow in the rear, at a little distance, which excited no particular notice ; but there is little doubt but one of the gang took advantage of the fog, and handed out the butter to his companions in the cart.
