Letters were received yesterday from Rio de janiero, dated the 3d of June, which state that Alie„ t Puputies to the General Assembly from Pernambuco, St., Paul's, the Minas Geraes, and ottier provinces, had arrived in that city. That 00-labia, it was understood, alone withheld them, Ad it was said that orders had in consequence 'peen passed to' detach two vessels of war to blockade the port of Bahia, with the view of preventing the arrival of reinforcements from Portugal. According to advices from - Valparaiso received at Rio Janeiro, two Spanish frigates were cruising in the Pacific, and had caused considerable alarm among the merchant ves sels in that quarter. This intelligence, how ever, :'requires confirmation, as no Spanish frigate is known to have visited those seas for a considerable period, except the Prueba and.' Ventran:za both of which surrendered t!. a' few months ago, by, convention, to the Go vernor, of Guayaquil. Other discourage ments, •hOwever, to English commerce in that quarter bad arisen out of the severity with which the laws were executed at Callao, by which all vessels touching at a port in the possession of the Royalist Spaniards were subjected to seizure. The punishment: has even _extended to the im prisonment of the masters of such vessels. No mention is made of Lord COCHRANE, in the let ters from. Valparaiso ; and a similar silence has' been preserved, it will be recollected, in several of the preceding accounts, from whence a report has got in circulation that his Lordship had gone on an expedition against Manilla. Should that be the case, a much longer period must elapse before tidings can be received of his operations. 'NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, BTU AuGusT, 1822. Yesterday afternoon, at half-past five o'clock, EDMUND CHASTER, Esq. the High Sheriff for Northumber land, accompanied by the Sub-Sheriff, (P. FENIVICK, Esq.), and a numerous cortege of County Gentlemen, set out from the Moat-Hall, to meet his Majesty's Judges of Assize, the Hon. Sir Charles Abbott, Lord Chief-Justice, and the Hon. Sir George "Wood, Knight, at the usual place in the county of Durham. There was the customary display of coaches-and-, four, chariots-and-pair, &c. &c. At half-past seven the High Sheriff returned with the Judges and their suite. They were received at the Blue Stone, on the Tyne bridge, by the Sheriff of Newcastle, (Alfred Hall, Esq.), who was accompanied from the Guildhall by one of the most numerous and respectable bodies of townsmen that has been remembered for a long time. At the entrance of the Guildhall, the Mayor, the Recorder, and Aldermen, were in waiting to pay their compliments to the Judges priorto the Commission being opened. This ceremony performed, the Letters-Patent were read in the usual manner, and the busineSs of the Court proclaimed to conimence at nine on the following morning. The Commission for the county of Northumbland was likewise read in the new courts the same evening —business being prorogued till the following day. It is pleasurable .to state, that the criminal cases are very few ; nor is there much employment for the Gentlemen of the long-robe in civil suits. His Majesty's impending journey to Scotland is the, engrossing,topic of the day. Should it appear that there is no probability, of the King's honouring this ancient and loyal town with - hisnugust presence during his tour, it seems more th a an probable tfiat the body corporate of Newcastle will repair to Edinburgh, that they may have the high honour of testifying inhis Majesty in person their affectionate loyalty and devotion. Riivensworth Castle, it is said, received an accession of costly furniture last week from London, in older to be in,readiness, Would the King determine on paying a visit to the Noble owner. Ells G race the Duke of Northumberland, too, has completed several embellishments at Alnwick Castle, .with a view to the entertainment of his Majesty, should lie bend his journey into Northumberland; and, it is said, his Grace rather cherishes an expectation that the King may honour him with a visit while in the - North. In the event of his Majesty's visiting . Newcastle, we may give a pledge of his reception in the following lines : , " The manly hearts on Tyne, '0 ! Royal (fEonGE, are thine; . True to their King : Northumbria's sons of old Were England's strongest hold, And still are firm and bold. GOD SAVE TIIE KING !" T.

The importance of the passage between Dover and Calais begins now to be pretty generally established. The l,numhers of passengers that sailed from Dover to Calais during the week ending the 3rinst. were 614, with 19 carriages,' and the numbers passing in the opposite direction were 544, with 26 carriages : hence it would appear that the numbers of per sons leaving this eountry are, to those arriving, in the propor don of nine to eight. Smtintint..FrtAun.—A fraud of a novel and Most brutal nature was on Thursday evening,practised on Mrs. Moss, a respectable .married woman, residing at No. 2, White Bear, garden, Kent-Street, Borough. About 6 o'clock a young man, dressed in a greasy velvet jacket, with a blue apron before him, rushed up to tfie door, almost breathless with taste and .asked , for the lady by' name. Mrs. M. came down ; and the .fellow perceiving that she was in the family 'way, determined to turn the circumstance to his advantage ' and, accordingly began by calling uponcher to summon all her fortitude, as he had most afflicting news to tell her. The woman stood almost petrified, whilst the fellOw related that her husband ( who works in the Docks)tad, about half an tour before, fallen from the:, yard of the vessel, by ; which hg received a compound fracture in the leg. Ilawever he saidohe must not despair, as the surgeon who wa s called told him - to' feTteliTiVlr. Astley Cooper, who would set t h e bones, and he would be - well in a few days. 'The poor woman urgqd him to . go. with all speed . ; to which he replied that it was useless unless he had a sovereign, as the Doctor told him Mr. Cooper would not come - without that. Away ran Mrs. Moss, and borrowed one at the public house, which she put into the fellow's hand, and off he went with seeming alacrity. As she was getting ready to go down to her husband's work, the latter suddenly entered as sound in health as when he went out. On hearing ;you had happened he went in pursuit as far as the 1 Town Hall, but it seems the rascal had taken another course. [FROM THE EDINBURGH STAR OF TUESDAY LAST•] The Regalia of Scotland are at _present, as it is well known, in the Castle of Edinburgh, under the care of Captain Adam , Ferguson. Sir "Alexander Keith, Knight Marischal of Scot land, will as soon as the King is in Holyrood, proceed to the " Castle, and presenting a warrant under the Sign Manual, de mand the Regalia from the Keeper, in order to their removal to the Palace. The Knight Marischal (who represents the ancient and illustrious house of the Earls Marischal and possesses their estates, the title of Earl having been for feited in 1715) will ride, according to the old custom, on horseback, attended by six Esquires in rich costumes of scar let and gold. He himself wears the dress of his office, which is of blue and white satin, the national colours of Scotland. The Knight,Marischal, having received the Regalia, will con vey them in his carriage to Holyrood, attended by his Esquires, as above described, and a large military escort. On the day when the King in person goes to the Castle, the Duke of Ha milton, Premier Peer of Scotland, will carry the Crown.— This is a privilege which he enjoys as Earl of Angus, and Representative of the once all but Royal House of Douglas.— The sword of state. will, on the same occasion, be carried by the young Earl of Errol, Lord High Constable of Scotland. In virtue of this high office, Lord Errol ranks as the first of Scot tish subjects. His authority supersedes that of all other Ma gistrateS within the verge of a Court holden in Scotland ; so that the peace will be preserved at Holyrood, &c. during his Majesty's visit, by the officers of the Lord High Constable alone.' The Gentlemen of the Celtic Society are, it is sup posed, to act in this capacity ; but, besides these, whenever the High Constable appears in any procession, he is entitled to come with a personal suite of five knights, ten Esquires, and twenty yeomen, all in appropriate costume. Lord Errol's aNearance will, therefore, form a very important feature on every- occasion of formality. On the fourth day, it is understood, his Majesty will hold a drawing-room.— When the King was in Ireland last year, the crowds of Gen tlemen coming to Court was such, that his Majesty was con strained to issue a sort a order that none of those who had been at the Levee should come to the .Drawing-room also, unless they had ladies on whom it was necessary for them to attend. It is hoped that from the superior accommodation in the state chambers of Holyrood, no such arrangement will be called for here. No Gentleman can come to the Drawing Room without having been previously presented at a Levee. The proper ob ject of the Drawing Room is the presentation of Ladies.— Ladies are. introduced to the King either by Ladies who have already been at Court, or by the Lord in Waiting.—The Lady drops her train (about four yards in length) when she enters the circle of the King. It is held up by the Lord in 'Wait ' ing till she is close to his Majesty. She curtsies. The King raises her up, and salutes her on the cheek. She then retires, al ways facing the Sovereign till she is beyond the circle. A considerable difficulty is presented to the inexperienced by the necessity of retiring (without assistance) backwards. The Ladies must exert their skill to move their trains quietly and- neatly from behind them as they retire ; and those who have never worn such dresses should lose no time in beginning to practise this. Most painful must the situa tion be of a young female who is so unfortunate as to make a faux :pax on ,such an occasion. It was by no means so diffi cult when hoops were in fashion ; but now that these have been discarded, there is nothing to assist in keeping the train off the ground.—The Ladies cannot require to be informed that they must all appear in Court plumes and fans. At least nine fea thers must be in each head-dress.— A second Levee and a se cond Drawing-room will conclude, for the present, the public appearances of his Majesty at Holyrood. But it is expected that he will gratify us by coming one night, during his stay, to the Theatre, where a proper box is to be prepared, Stith all that good taste for which. Mr. Murray and Mrs. Siddons have ever been distinguished.—lt is understood that the -King will pay short visits to the gallant Earl of Hopetoui,,, the Marquess of Lothian, Lord Lieutenant of the county, V iscount and some other distinguished characters in this neighbourhood. c , - 1 - 7- \' i '',... • 4 e ll'il 4k ,.....„ t i 4 rz , ' -•- " c ie ' e- , , .41 1 :<t 5.. :•; .:,...,ii. ..,-_ :: - :...„:„..„,„ :" . 7 1.1 .t . :_l_ ..,..,_c...., - ..7., ~.....

The Lady Patroness gave a gold arrow to be shot for by the Ladies, which was eventually awarded to Miss R. Cottenham, Mrs. Meeke and herself being declared the best shots of the day, and so equal, that the decision was made by lot. MRS.EVERY'SSUBSCRIPTION.—A general Meeting of the Committee for conducting this praiseworthy Subscription took place yesterday, when Mr. ltonms took occasion to complimept, in suitable terms, the extraordinary liberality of the Proprietors of Covent-garden Theatre. It was not generally known that poor EMERY stood indebted for a deficiency arising from his last Benefit, of 42/. 15s. 6d., this the Proprietors had gene rously renounced ; but their liberality did not stop here. The incidental expences of the night were very great, for at the time a benefit was proposed the interior of the Theatre was in a complete state of undress, not a chandelier, or a scene, or a box, 'being fit for the, reception of an audience. All this was completed in the short space of five days, and the expence, including the lighting, was in consequence very considerable ; he had to state that the Proprietors have agreed to pay the whole of this out of their own pockets ; so that it might be truly said (and probably it will be the first instance of the kind) that this Benefit was literally a gratuitous one ; even the scene-shifters and door-keepers followed in the race of liberally volunteering their useful sm. vices, Mr. ROBINS also stated that he had received a very kind letter from his friend Mr. SIIAKSPEARE REED, an extract from which he thought might be useful to call the attention of the Profession to an observation that he thought eminently entitled to serious consideration :--" You will not deem me presumptuous in submitting to you, that if the heroes of the Sock and Buskin would spare only one-twentieth part of their salary, and apply it in an Assurance on their Lives, it would console them during life with the pleasing recollection ' that when it pleased the Great Disposer of us all to call them from this stage to that of eternity, they had secured the means of com fort to their surviving family." Mr. REED inclosed a draft for 101. ; Mr. Itonfics said he could not touch upon any matter connected with the subscription but with feelings of exultation. Earl FITZ wrLLIAm has generously contributed 201. • another anonymous subscription, under the assumed name of a Friend to the Distressed, 401.; from MICHAEL KELLY, two guineas; JOHN BELLA3IY, Esq. (House of Commons) gave Mr. ROBINS 5/. for one seat in his box ; the Hon. BERKELEY CRAVEN 5/. &c. &c.- MONMOUTH.—" The Royal Bards of Cambria," in the persons of Messrs. Garbett, ',oder•and Rolle, with Misses Bart lett and Owen, have just paid their annual visit to the Princi pality. They gave two Vocal Concerts at Monmouth ; where they were greeted with those marks of personal respect so justly due to their public merit. The performances were a' selection from some of the most beautiful Bongs, Duets, Trios, Catches, Glees, &c. by British Bards and British Writers, without the adventitious aid of Italy to support them. The audience con sisted of all the respectable families in the town and neighbour hood ; and throughout the whole of each evening the applause which followed each song, &c. best expressed the feeling this - 4 concord of sweet sounds" caused in the hearts of all present.— On Thursday the vocalists proceeded to Chepstow ; and on that and Friday evening _concluded their tour by two Concerts, at which all the r snit and fashion of that truly elegant neighbour hood were present —The superb badges'bestowed on " the Royal. Bards of Cambria" by the illustrious patrons (as the Esteiddfod, ) were worn on these occasions ; and their annual progress through the Principality will not be among the least pleasing effects of the patriotic effects of the noble revivers of the national taste and patrons of the Fine Arts in Wales. _ _ HANDEL was once the Proprietor of the Opera House, London ; and at the time presided at the harpsichord in the orchestra (piano-fortes not being then known). His embellishments were so Masterly, that the attention of the audience was frequently diverted from the singing to the ac companiment, to the great mortification of thii vocal performers. A pompous Italian singer was, on a certain occasion, so chagrined at the marked attention paid to the harpsichord, in preference to his own singing, that he swore that if Handel ever played him a similar trick, he would jump down upon his instrument, and put a stop to the interruption. Upon which, Handel, who had a considerable turn for humour, thus accosted him : —"0h! oh! you 'Oll jump, vill you ?—very yell, Sare; be so kind, and tell me de night ven you jump, and I viii advertise it in de bills; and I sail get grate dale more money by your jump ing, dan I sail get by your singing !"

' • . THE ANCIENT VESSEL DISCOVERED IN THE OI.IM `CHANNEL OF THE ROTHER.—Since the account iMerted, our impression of Tuesday, the 30th ult. we have been fdvoured with the following additional particulars by a judicious and ob. servant correspondent. Up to the 6th inst. the vessel had here . entirely cleared out, but nothing farther of moment had beet found worthy of notice, except some iron rings, which, with sothe marks discovered on the.outside of the vessel, below the water line„"are confidently pronounced to be unquestionable proOfs of its being of Danish construction ; and if so, it must have been wreck. ed there six or seven hundred years since, before the see retired to its present boundary on the coast at Rye. The vessel is partly flat-bottomed, with a keel in the centre, of a common form. The labourers are now at work in order to dig it out of the bed of sand in which it lies, and will yet be occupied another week or more before it will be possible to float it. When this is effected, it is contemplated to get it into the chan nel of the branch of the Bother, which is navigable from Rye to within a few rods of the spot where it was discovered, and ultimately to convey it either by land or water to London, in order to exhibit it there, which it is expected will produce a considerable emolument. The several portable articles taken out of thelcabin, &c. are in great request, but none have been as yet disposed of.—Several more human bones , bave been taken out of the vessel or the sand, which assuredl} l are those of the unfortunate persons who perished in the wreck-, or, as some will have it, were killed in an engagement when the Danes attacked and destroyed the old city of Anderida, above fourteen centuries past. This supposition augments it -A antiquity, respecting which (as upon most occurrences) tlier seem to be two parties; the one contending for, the other against it. The most probable conjectures are in favour of the former • but whatever might be the date of its-destruction, the crew and their frail bark must have been buried together, over, whelmed by the resistless waves of the deep, where they have laid for successive ages.—(Kentish Gazette, Aug. 9.) COMPETITION OF' PIPERS. EDINBURGH, ,AUG. 7: - --On Tuesday last, the annual competition for the prizes given by the Highland So ciety of London, to the five best performers on the great High land bagpipe, was held in the Theatre Royal here. The num ber of pipers who came up to attend the competition was un usually great; no fewer than 30 qualified to compete, besides several who had formerly gained prize pipes. The performance began by a tune on the prize pipe; precisely at 12 o'clock so as to interfere as little as possible with the race, which the stewards had obligingly postponed an hour later than usual. The house was crowded in every part. In the boxes particularly there was a most brilliant assembly of our fair coun trywomen ; many of whom wore tartan scarfs, or other orna ments appropriate to the occasion. Some indeed were re marked in the full Highland costume of tartan robes and bon nets. When the curtain was raised the whole Competitors, pipers and dancers, were seen arranged around the stage, and the various chequers of the lively tartans worn by above sixty fine Highlanders, Bin their full native dress, had a very pleasing el. feet.. It must have been highly gratifying to the performers to observe the clappin g of hands and general applause with they were received by such an audiefice, and certainly their exertions at tlie competition shoved that this welcome had not failed of its effect. When the pipers had done playing, the Judges retiral determine the prizes. Upon their return the decision of the_ several prizes was announced by their Preses, Sir John Sinclair, as follows : _ _ _ The first, an elegant Pipe handsomely mounted, and adorned with a flag bearing the national emblem of the thistle, and with a silver plate, on which there has since been engraved the pro per inscription, with forty merks in money, tis Donald Mac ay, piper to Ranald George Macdonald, Esq. of Clanranald, M.P. The second prize, 60 merks, to John M`Kozie, piper to Duncan Davidson, Esq., of Tullich. The third, N merks, to Kenneth M 4 R., piper to the Hon. James Sinclair. The fourth, 45 merks, to Alexander Dewar, piper to Sir Neil Menzies, of Menzies, Bart. _ _ The fifth, 40 merles, to John Smith, piper to the Hon. Col. Grant, of Grant. The extra prize of a brace of very. handsome Highland pis tols, afforded by the liberality oc Mrs. H. - Siddons, was voted to Donald Seryingeour, piper to the centre regiment of Forfar, shire Local Militia, who had formerly gained a second prize. The prizes to the three competitors best dressed in the High_ land garb were voted —the first to James Macdonald • the second to John Cameron ; and the third to Donald Macdonald. all in the list of pipers. Previous to delivering the prizes, Sir John Sinclair addressed the audience in an elegant and appropriate speech; among other things he observed, " It is with much pleasure that 1 have this day witnessed another competition of Highland Pipers. It is a species of public entertainment to which I have always been par . tial. It tends to preserve that martial spirit for which the Scottish nation has so long been celebrated ; for there is no real Scotsman who would not march to battle with more alacrity to the animat ing sound of the bagpipe than to that of any other warlike instru ment. The bagpipe also has been for ages the favourite instrument of music in Scotland. There is, indeed, in the Chapel of lies lyn, the sculpture of a Cherub playing on a 'Highland bagpipe, with a book spread lvfore him, proving that in a very ;emote era the bagpipe was played, not by the ear alone, but to written music. The chapel was erected by William Sinclair, Prize,: of Orkney, as far back as the year 1446. The use of this in. strument in Scotland, therefore, can be traced to a period:of about four centuries, and it probably was of much greater anC . quity." The audience were, as usual, highly delighted with the ' Highland reels and strathspeys, introduced in the course .QC. the performance,. in which the dancers greatly exerted then.-•- selv.ai. A little boy in the full Highland costume, with his pipe under his arm, attracted some notice. Mr. Murray, of.a.t. theatre, with his usual taste, had provided one of the silver medals struck in honour of his Majesty's intended visit, and,: attached it to a tartan ri'oband, which was presented by tte Preses to the young Highlander,. as a mark of approbation ci.'• his early zeal for the national music. On the 2(.1 instant, the flood gates of the new bason at Ostend ware carried away by a very high sea. A young man, a journeyman ropemaker at Gravesend, is claimant for the tide and large estates of the la:t , Earl of MARCHMONT, to whom it is sAid he was great nephew.. BURGLARY.—Tharsday night, the house of, Mr. Johnson, Snow's-fields, Walworth, was feloniously entered and robbed of a considerable sum of money, and a great qua:.-.- tity of linen and wearing apparel. A SAILOR'S TaEAsutte..---AboUt the middle ol last year a sailor, on the island of New Provi (knee, being much fatigued with walking, sat down on 'the sea-shore, on what he conceived to be a • large stone. After resting and sleeping some time, he attempted to get up, but found hit, s breethes stuck fast to ,his seat. After joining one of his shipmates, he observed so strong, to smell as to ask him where he had been ; and, the other telling him the circumstance, he advised him to go back, and bring away this stone; but he demurred, and said it was more than he could carry. "So much the better," replied his com panion, who honestly told him he suspected it to he a large lump) of ambergrease, whiCh was a very valuable article, and that he might make his fortune by it. lie crossed the island with a horse, and brought it away. It was first shown . to a Jew, who did not offer him a tenth • part of tts value. It soon became known, and the - Cap tain of a merchantman being at the port, bought, it, and 'brought it to England, and we believe the house of Ellice, Inglis, and Co. had the selling of it. It came into the custody of a Mr. D. an eminent• druggist, and was sent over to the, Continent a few months ago, when it yielded, at 186 s. per oz. 2,300/.
