M r p. - ar e Itt e glad to fi n d that our remarks on the ap pro ri°t mls proceedings at Hertford College are . ot , ve d by those whose opinions on East India et.-leerns are sanctioned by judgment and expe fre:ce. The original error, we conceive, arose ii ° - the reservation of due power to punish de elkilleneY in the hands of the Directors of the t o °lPa nY, Which ought to have been delegated thp, :l uperintendants of the College.—The _ O4 4 1Ap p eclue nce was, that the Students considered the 01- ti ,' , ort of their connections in Leadenhall-street tea : re importance than the approbation of their lik tu -ers • Hence negligence in the Students might is rall Y be expected, and from negligence there Di re 44 4 Progress to error and mischief. The Ipiseit°r's however, saw their mistake, and soon th at and liberally reformed it, by rescinding / 3 r I)"Ve r, and even the right of appeal in cases pa Z iluisi ", placing it, with the sanction of 1) 44 -t nent, In the hands of the Bishop of Lox- Just- 11 's Was a very judicious measure, as /sth e e t e z ' n all such cases was t h en guar d e d b y sacre d Low e r 'Y• The e ff ects o f t h e or i g i na l error are , Itever) still felt, as the students cannot be tri etti eci fr om the idea that, by the interposition of T N -e s ' t he Directors are still likely to inter t • lie 'r favour. Those Students, who are of nf g a k ' and -dissipated turn, and who think more lair ing a fortune in India than of qualify it t p e h e As kttiriti mselves with means t o d eserve it, will li ttic t 13r t hink th e mos t ra ti ona l di sc ipli ne t oo 4114 that they shall evince a want of spirit if they succumb under what they deem irksome regulations, and which former Students had reso lutely resisted. Under such feelings a small number of students, wee understand, certainly wished to renew the same scenes as took place at a former period, but as the great body of their companions did not concur in their aims, they were obliged to do mischief by stealth, or after midnight. On this occasion we are assured that the Collegiate Authorities were on the alert, and not so blind and unobservant of the characters of the young men entrusted to their care as not to be able to discriminate the well-inclined from those who were otherwise dis posed, and therefore twelve, not twenty, as stated, we find were sent home, and that tranquillity was immediately restored. So we are taught to believe by a gentleman who happened to be upon the spot during the transaction. He further informs us that the gun-powder story is partly true, but it is not true that even the most violent of the refractory Students insulted their superiors, or failed in the usual marks of personal respect to them. The Act of Parliament does not allow any Student to be admitted under sixteen years of age. The usual period is from 17 to 22, and not from 14 to 18. The Morning Paper from which we took the Report of the riotous proceedings speaks of the properig which the Student has in his appointment, but the Le gislature and the Court of Directors established the College for the improvement of the good and docile, and to protect the Natives of India from being fleeced by the wicked or the ignorant, who may be incapable of governing them well ; in short, from those who could not fill the duties of their important offices, but who might only hold them as property to be employed for their own advantage. It is some satisfaction to find that the great body of the Students were not corrupted by example. We may hence infer that their Superiors conduct themselves in such a manner as to deserve re spect, confidence, and submission. We conceive that the Collegiate Authorities should, as indeed, we believe they do, take every opportunity to ap prise the Students that good conduct only can deserve encouragement, and even secure their appointments. Letters and Papers have been received from the Cape of Good Hope to the sth August.— They are principally filled with additional de tails of the dreadful hurricane which visited that colony, and of which• we gave some account last Tuesday. Captain CLOCTE, a confidential friend of the Governor, and a Staff Officer, who was dispatched, as one of the letters states, " to communicate the miseries of the inhabitants to their British Government, and to implore aid and assistance from the mother country," arrived yesterday morning at Lord BATHURST'S Office with dispatches. WINDSOR, OCT. 21.—Yesterday morning his MAJESTY attended divine service at the chapel of Cumberland-lodge. The service was performed by the 11ev. Mr. SOMER, the King's Chaplain. The Princess AUGUSTA attended divine service at the new parish church yesterday. On Saturday morning two troops of the First Life Guards left here to-proceed to Brighton, where they are to remain during his MAJESTY'S intended residence there. This day two more troops of the Life Guards left for Brighton : there now remain four troops here. This morning about 10 o'clock the Princess AUGUSTA left her residence at Frog more for Kensington, on a visit to the Duchess of KENT and the Princess SorlsrA. Her Royal Highness is expected to return to Frogmore this evening. In the event of his MAJESTY'S honouring the LORD MAYOR, as is confidently expected, the Light Horse Volunteers, under the command of Colonel BosANQuvr, will meet his MAJESTY at Temple-bar, and form the Guard of Honour to Guildhall. The Royal Artillery Company will be drawn up in two lines to the entrance of Guildhall, that Company holding similar rights to the Archers of Scotland. Captain FRANKLYN arrived in town yesterday from his journey to the Copper Mine River, in the Arctic Regions, and had a long interview at Earl BATHURST'S Office. The intrepid traveller, considering all the sufferings and privations he has undergone, appears in tolerable good health. A rather severe shock of an earthquake was felt in Port Spain, Trinidad, about five minutes before nine o'clock in the morning of the 4th ult. A vast multitude of Greeks, emigrating on account of the troubled state of their country, have taken up their residence at Marseilles, where they have domiciliated, adopted the French habit, and are treated with great kind ness and respect. By the will of the late Marquess of LONDON DERRY, which has not yet been proved, he be queaths to the Marchionness, for her life, the uncontroled possession of the houses and furni ture in St. James's-square and at Foot's Cray, together with all her Ladyship's jewels, and the very valuable diamonds which were presented to the Noble Marquess by the Sovereigns and Princes of Foreign States during his various mis sions. Lord LONDONDERRY'S own jewels are estimated to be worth 40,0001. at least. The late Mrs. GARRICK was so conscious of her approaching dissolution that sbe ordered the sheets which were on the bed when GARRICK died, and - which were scrupulously preserved by her, to be aired and put upon her bed. Whilst the servant was doing this the old lady expired in her chair. THE THEATRES. DtuntY-LANE.—The high reputation which the Tragedy of Pizarro once excited has natu rally subsided, but it can still be rendered at tractive by great theatrical talents, and such was the case last night. Mr. YOUNG was the Rolla. His merit in the character is too well known to require critical notice. Th,o part of Alonzo was rendered forcible and impressive by the manly style of COOPER. Mrs. W. WEST was the Cora, and sustained the part with skill and tenderness. The energy which the character of Elvira de mands was not adequately supplied by MISS EDMISTON, but, though " touched but faintly, was drawn right."—Giovanni in London fol lowed, and is as likely to improve the morals of the middling orders as Tom and Jerry. . _ COVENT-GARDEN. - The audience at this Theatre were thrown into some apprehension last night by the appearance of Mr. CoNNon, who commenced with an apology for Miss PATON, which induced them to think that she was not going to perform. However they soon found that the apology was not to announce absence, hut to bespeak indulgence, as she was suffering under indisposition. When she, soon after appeared as PON, in the Beggar's Opera, she was well received, and she exerted herself with great spirit and success, but the general liberality of the audience over-ruled the call for a repetition of the most favourite airs.—The splendid Melo-drame of _Ali Paella followed, and appeared highly to gratify a numerous, though not a crowded audience. Mr. YOUNG (a correspondent says) is engaged at Drury-lane for thirty nights—ten nights at the commencement of the sea3QD, ten at the middle, and the remainder at the close.—(Morning Herald.) • THEATRICAL MISIIAP.—Our T heatre opened on Tuesday evening (15th inst.), under the direction of Mr. How Aim, Manager of the Theatre Royal, Lancaster, &c. on which occasion the magnet of attraction was our old favourite, Miss S. BOOTH, whose talents we have often so justly appreciated.. On the rising of the curtain Mr. SMYTH SON came forward to announce a calamitous event which had happened. to the manager and the whole :of his perform ers, in the general wreck of their property, whilst crossing the sands from Ulverston to Lancaster, during a gale of wind, in which they were suddenly overtaken by the tide. —All their chests containing their warElrohe, with a portion of the scenery, were set adrift, a valuable horse drowned, and themselves and children narrowly escaped with their lives.— The appeal made to the audience forany deficiency which must naturally . have arisen in the dresses, &c. was very favour ably received, and under every circumstance the pieces went off much better than could have been expected. -We are happy to hear that the greater part of the trunks, &c. have been recovered, and have arrived here, although very seriously injured. It may not be generally known to our readers, that between Ulverston and Lancaster there is an extent of nearly fifteen miles at low-water, which abounds with channels and moving sands, on which guides are regularly paid by Govern ment, and stationed at the time of crossing, for the protection of the passengers. The violence of the gale had driven the guide from his post, and the party having gone too far to re cede, were obliged, at the peril of their lives, to cross the last channel without any proper direction.— ( Stockport Advertiser.) lONS 111111=111•111MIMMINNIMINONII IRISH PROSPERITY.— Three distilleries in Cork, which were to have commenced working on Monday, have served notices that they do not intend to go on.—(Freeman's Journal.) Lord O'NEILL came up to town last week, from the midst of pressing and important busi ness, for the purpose of presiding at a Grand Orange Lodge in Dublin. Personal concerns gave way to what his Lordship considered his public duty. The Court was formed; and the proposition of decorating the statue, on the 4th of November next, taken into consideration.— Master Ellis, it is said, deprecated the measure, and even opposed it. So did Sir George Hill, who assures us he is no longer an Orangeman.— The Postmaster-General, however, succeeded against the two other placemen, and finally it was resolved to dress Old Glencoe.—(Dublin Even ing Post.) To-morrow the Lord Bishop of WINCHESTER, attended by the Chancellor of the Diocese, &c. will consecrate the new Church built at Brangore, in the parish of Christchurch, on the borders of the New Forest ; and on the following Friday the new Church of St. Paul, which has been built to afford to the populous parish of Portsea, increased accommodation for attendance on Religious worship, will likewise be consecrated. These Churches have both been built under the Church Act; and it is devoutly hoped that the inhabitants of the respective neighbourhoods will feel the influence which the residence and constant instruction and example of able Pastors is sure to effect. The Rev. WM. COCKBURN, A. M. late Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, has succeeded to the digni fied situation of Dean of York. This Gentleman is brother in-law to Mr. Secretary Peel. Mr. Cockburn was elected into the office of Christian Advocate in the University of Cambridge in 1803, being the first appointment to that office, which is held for six years, by order of the founder, the Rev. Mr. Hulse.— ( York Chronicle.) _ _ _ The Rev. LEWIS WAY, of Stanstead Park, ac companied by his friend, JOHN MoRTLOCK, Esq. is about to proceed to the Mediterranean, on a Continental tour. A Correspondent at Battle writes as follows: " This town is comparatively deserted. There are at this mo ment from forty to fifty good houses uninhabited.—The pro perty of Sir Godfrey Webster is in a deplorable state.—(/bid.) SHAKESPEARE REED, Esq. has presented the Sunderland Dispensary with 41. 75., being the amount of fees due to him from the Brewster Sessions. The Devizes Gazette says, " ROBERT GOUR-• LAY, late a respectable fanner of Deptford Farm, 'Wilts cele brated for his Reform Addresses to the labou rers o f Wily, and for his endeavours to effect a Reform in Canada, where he was imprisoned, is now reduced to the necessity of breaking stones on the highway, and of receiving parochial assistance from the parish of Wily." BON MOT.—Two gentlemen were walking in the High-street of Southampton, last week, about that hour which the industrious damsels of the mop and brush usually devote to cleansing the pavement before the door. It happened that the bucket used upon such occasions was upon the stones, and one of the gentlemen stumbled against it. "My dear friend," exclaimed the other, " I lament your death, exceed ingly !" "My death !" " Yes, you have just kicked the bucket." " Not so," rejoined his friend, " 1 have only turned a little pale (pail.)" SINGULAR COINCIDENCES.—Mr. SHERIDAN was the chief mourner at Mr. GAnnices funeral. Mr. SHERI DAN'S Comedy of The Schoolfin• Scandal was acted at Drury- ' lane Theatre the evening Mrs. GARRICK died ; and on the same night, perhaps at the very moment when she breathed her last, the following lines, written by GEORGE COLMAN, were de livered from the stage by Mr. TERRY : " Alas ! how vainly will our modern fry, Strive with old leviathans to vie ! How forcibly comparison provoke, With lines that JoHNsox writ and GARRICK spoke." The brig Renown, Watt, from Quebec, which arrived at Leith on the 15th instant, has brought two beavers, directed for the College ; but it is to be regretted, that previous to the arrival of the vessel, one of them died ; the other is in good health, and was forwarded on Tuesday to its destination. This, we believe, is the first importation of these creatures into this country. On Thursday a respite, during his Majesty's pleasure, was received at Glasgow for Daniel Tucker, presently under sentence of death there; and yesterday morning r re spite was also received for James Campbell, the other prisoner under sentence of death. The intelligence was immediately communicated, in both instances, to the unfortunate . prisoners, by the Hon. the Lord Provost, accompanied by Bathes Smith and Snell. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

DOCTOR SYNTAX.—This horse, from his first appearing on the turf, at three years old, in 1814, up to the present period, has started 44 times, of which he has won 33 and lost 11.

Mr. Abernethy, the Scotch pedestrian, completed his match to go from London to Nottingham and back, making a circuit ous route of 260 miles, in four successive days. It has already been stated that he did half his distance m good form, and started again, after sufficient rest, with four hours to spare. On the third day he took a training of 25 miles to breakfast, in imitation of the work the celebrated Captain Barclay cut out for Cribb, previous to his renowned battle with Molyneux at Thissletun Gap. He ate his fowl comfortably, stretched, and made a start of 35 miles to dinner, off rump of beef, at six otclock in the evening. Refreshed as much as he wished, he took a walk 15 miles further, to a favourite quarter, where he had been before, and retired to rest tolerably well. He started again at three o'clock on Saturday morning, and did his fourth day's work, 55 miles, but not without great perseverance, be fore eleven o'clock at night. The Duke of York had a capital day's sport at Cheveley, on Saturday last. His Royal Highness killed and bagged 82 head of game, viz.-56 pheasants, 22 hares, three partridges, and one rabbit, and was out only four hours. His Royal High ness is now with a shooting party at Ruston, the scat of the Duke of Grafton. The Worcestershire Fox-Hounds will meet to-morrow at Freeze Wood ; and on Friday, at Grafton Wood. PIRACY. STATEMENT OF 'WILLIAM COOK, MASTER OF THE •InTa INDUSTRY, OF AND FROM JAMAICA TO ST. THOSIA3'S., " Wednesday, the 7th of August, .at daylight, Saddle Hills (Cuba) bearing South, distance about eight leagues, obs^rved a schooner in our wak e , carying all sail by the wind en the starboard tack, as ourselves : light breezes . and clear; going per log about 21 knots—wind E.S.E.—at sun-rise could make her out to be in chase of us, of a very suspicious appearance, and using a great number of sweeps and every • sail she could crowd. At 8 A. Dr. she fired a gun and showed American colours ; our colours were shown, but nett liking his ap pearance, I continued to carry all sail..:„ Brig Vittoria, of London, at this time N.W. distance about:five miles, showed her colours ; same time found it impossiblet.to close with the Vittoria. From this time to about halfpast 11 A. rt. the schooner kept firing at us ; and coming fast'up, I had no hopes of escaping by superior sailing, but was inducer', to keep up the chase in hopes of falling in with someone of the British or American cruisers on tnis station. Vain hope. At 11 o'clock she was within musket-shot, and commenced firing can non and small arms at us; her American r..ensign was then hauled down, and a red flag hoisted at the foretop-mast head. Finding it impossible to escape, and considering it would be madness to make resistance, we were soon ,boarded and taken possession of by seven or eight ruffians, whose appearance left not a doubt in my mind as to what :lands I had fallen into.— I was ordered, with all my crew, on board the pirate, and ac companied thither by an Englishman, who appeared to be the commanding officer of the banditti ; this. rascal's face was blacked with gunpowder, and otherwise disguised with large mustachios ; notwithstanding this, I knew ,the villain, and called him by name ; he denied himself to be the person, but lam well convinced he is the same person. •7' " When I arrived on board the schooner, - J met with the most brutal treatment from the Captain, who stabbed me in three places, and broke a cutlas over me, and . ' believe meant to take my life. I defended myself from the - 'inonster with my hat, which, thank God, was a new one. Atter. ! he broke his cutlass, he was prevented by his crew from:taking another to accomplish his avowed purpose of taking 'My life. I was then beat with a large rope, and compelled to go with four of my men into the boat, and tow the schooner, at this time in chase of the Vittoria. During the time I was in the boat, a pistol was fired at me, and a musket frequently presented at me to shoot me if the towline was not kept right. This was impossible, as the schooner was then going about . s knots. About Ip. m. the Vittoria hove to, after a gun being fired. I was then with all my crew confined in the holde The Captain, Mate, and four of the Vittoria's crew were brought on board the schooner, and steered in for the land with a fresh breeze.— The Captain and Mate of the Vittoria were forashort time con fined in the hold, but separate from us, nor wereve permitted to speak to each other. I am, however, happy to say no vio lence was offered to either, and at their own request were per mitted to go on deck. About four o'clock I was with all my crew taken on board the Industry, and threatened with immediate death if 1 did not disclose what money I had; and where concealed. It was in vain I assured them I had no money concealed; I gave them all the money I had, amount ing in gold and silver to about 100 dollars : my watch was taken out of my pocket, my hands pinioned behihil my back and made fast to the windlass bits, and 6 of the pirates drawn up in front of me; also by their captain's orders fired off' their muskets in the air, and reloaded them with ball cartridge wider his inspec tion, and before my face; I was then blindfolded and shot at with four muskets; after which I was cast loose, and sent below in the forecastle, where I was kept confined till the pirate captain went on board the schooner. About nine o'clockp, in. came to anchor about two leagues to windward of Hounda Bay. In the course of the night the pirates killed their chief, and in the morning I was permitted to proceed on my 'voyage, after' being plundered of sails, cordage, provisions, and stores of every description, clothes, charts, instruments, and jolly boat. They kept possession of the Vittoria, and Captain Hearn and crew were sent on board the Industry, where 'they remained till the morning of the 10th when I fell in with his Majesty's brig Carnation, Captain Walcott, who was good enough to take them on board and give them a passage to Jamaica. Captain Hearn and crew were not p ermitted to take any of their clothes along with them, so that they were just as they stood. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT HIGIIGAT,,;ARCII WAY.—For some time past vast numbers nrwork r men have been employed in erecting 33-;'alms. houses near the Archway at Highgate e jor the aged poor belonging to the Mercers' Company, and in order to complete the buildingsOt was found expedient to remove an immense-pile of earth that was dug from the road at the time tl e Archway was forming, and which has rettpinf d ever since standing on the side of the road.: Fur some days the navigators have been at work in conveying it away and shooting it i another pay t of the road. On Saturday morning last, , whilst some of the excavators were waiting for their turn to have their wheelbarrows filled by others who were digging at the bottom of the vast pile, the upper part fell in . with a tremendous crash, and five of the .navi gators were buried under it. The groans c f the sufferers were distinctly heard by the other workmen, who with surprising alacrity:: set t) work, and after digging some time, succeeded' in extricating four of the sufferers alive ; tlids fifth, an aged navigator, who acted as forematr,: and who had been employed in the excavations at the Archway and the Regent's Canal, was found almost crushed -to atoms, yet still alive.; :.The unfortunate old man was taken on a shutter to the.
