Our readers were presented on Monday w ' the speech delivered in 1806 'by the Marquis of 140 NDONDERRY, then Lord CASTLEREAGH, against. the 'West India Intercourse Bill. In that ad dress,_Lord CASTLEIIEAG . If made strong appeals . to- the well-founded jealousy with which English statesmen are accustomed to regard the com mercial and maritime power of America. He argued, and it may with equal justice be urged at the present day, that to open an unre strained mercantile intercourse between the United States and our West Indian Colonies, Would be in effect to place the trade of those islands chiefly if not entirely in the hands of America ; that to adopt such a measure is not merely granting a participation, or allowing a competition, to our rivalS in that quarter, but at once establishing. their ascendancy; and that the ultimate effect of this policy must be to render our West Indian possessions commercially de. ! Pendent upon the United States, in the mean tim e endangering the existence of our own neigh bouring Colonies, and deeply injuring many great and important interests at home. If the power, enterprise, and ambition of..the United States afforded grounds of apprehension, or at least motives of caution, in 1806, has any thing occurred to render them less formidable in •the sixteen years that have followed ? Have not the citizens of these States every day assumed higher pretensions, and exhibited a more en- croaching spirit ? and are not their prophecies of time when the Maritime greatness of England shall sink before that of America repeated with increasing confidence, and even listened to With respect on this side of the Atlantic;— Has not a war taken place in which the nava: Pride of England was, from whatever cause, ex• Posed to such mortifications as at once attested the prowess and inflamed the ambition of her ad versary ? How justly then may we repeat in these days the warning which was so emphati cally, but with less obvious reason, addressed to Parliament in the year 1806, that they should not on any consideration of alleged present ex pediency annul those inestimable laws, so closely interwoven with the prosperity, the glory, and even the security of this nation ! If it is urged that the necessities of our West India Planters should induce us to relax the Navigation Laws, for the purpose of procuring to our Colonists-a corresponding favour pn the part of America, we conceive this to be a most unsound and dangerously delusive argument. Such a con- A:ession has sometimes been pleaded for on the ground of liberality, and of an enlarged and con ciliatory policy. By giving up the point under an acknowledged presstqe of necessity (supposing this to exist) we of course gain no credit for liberality in the sacrifice,' and make no advance toward con ciliation. But on the other hand, we admit, in the face of all nations, that the Government of the United States has power, even at a time of Peace, to force us from that system which we have hitherto so proudly maintained, and, on a few 13 ecasions, so reluctantly departed froM ; and we thus endure a direct and undeniable overthrow in the contest of commercial regulations. To re 'gain the ground lost under such circumstances, :if on any future occasion it became desirable, Would in all probability be hopeless. If the Present restraints on intercourse between the --- West Indies and United States are considered as hard and oppressive by, our Colonists, how in tolerable would their re:iewal be, when, accord_ 'rig to the natural operation of the proposed mea sure, America had engrossed nearly the whole West- Indian trade ! That engine which the R epublican Government now uses for the pur . P°se of opening our Colonial ports, would act With ten-fold force, if our planters had be "me accustomed, for a series of years,. to rely almost exclusively on American supply and con ,urnption. Having once suffered the Government of the United States to acquire a purchase upon c uir Councils through the alleged distress of our Colonists, we should find that pui - chase become daily more irresistible; successfully exerted upon t his point, it might perhaps be applied to other Purposes ; and it is impossible to calculate the disadvantage and difficulty under which the ef fects of our concession might place us, if any cir cumstances should at length throw the two na tions into a state of hostility. we trust that this question, when discussed in parliament, will not be regarded by the generality o f our countrymen with the indifference too O ften enewn by persons not immediately late rested' in commerce, to suit those political Sl.lbjects which they consider as purely mercantile. --- -Let it be remembered that every blow to our Navigation system inflicts a wound upon the gene-. 1.41 maritime power and greatness of Britain; that the interests of our :commercial are inseparable from those of our warlike marine ; and that when a great and ancient branch of the one is suffered to decay, so much is irretrievably lost of those materials by which the other is supplied and strengthened. It is also important, deeply important, to; reflect that the naval power and ascendancy which depart from us will not vanish from the system of things, but must pass into the hands of others. If England is weary of wielding the trident, she cannot bury it in the ground, or sink it in the sea : she must transfer it to' a successor ; and to him who grasps it she must also resign her glory, her influence, her wealth, and ultimately her in dependence. Incr.:A.:sm.—At the Limerick Special Session on the 13th inst., David Sullivan, James llickeg, Darby Halpin, and Edward O'Laughlin, charged with being absent from their dwellings, were acquitted. On the 14th, Michael Connell, a very respectable farmer, for concealing fire-arms, and denying them to the Serjeant Major of the City Police, was found guilty ;—zis were. also Daniel Gleeson, a man upwards of seventy years of age, for having arms and ammunition concealed ; Patrick Hayes, for being found in the house of the said Daniel Gleeson ;—and Martin Flyn and John Darcy, for being absent from their dwelling. --At the Cork Special Sessions, on the same day, Robert Browne, for having fire arms in his house at .Togher, and refusing to deliver them, acquitted ;—Jant es Burden, Thomas Burden, and Jeremiah Connor, for a similar of fence, the two Burdens guilty, and Connor ac quitted,—Michael M'Carthg, John Harrington, and IVilliam Coffee, for being out of their dwel lings, acquitted. On the 15th Denis Brien, Pa trick Heaphy, Michael Heaphy, and James Rice, for being out of their dwellings, were acquitted; Maurice,Mackressy, for a similar offence, guilty. The Assize intelligence from Ennis, Armagh, and Cavan, is not interesting, having little or no reference to.the disturbed state of Ireland. Notwithstanding the salutary influence of the Insurrection Act, it appears, by accounts from Tralee and Limerick, that the Whiteboys in that quarter continue their outrages with great force and activity. The names of the ruffians who committed the outrage on the women of the Rifle Brigade, and who have been apprehended, are Pierce Nagle, Timothy Connor, and Patrick Foley.—Six thousand Police are immediately to be raised for the county of Limerick. By a letter from Mullingar, we learn that an atrocious murder has .been .perpetrated between kilbeggan and llorseleap, .county Westmeath, upon TnomAs KNOX, one of Major O'DONOGHUE'S Police, who was dragged from a car in which a female relative was conveying him to Moat for the recovery of his health, and barbarously mur dered by five or six insurgents, some of whom have since been apprehended. Transportation to New South Wales having ceased to be viewed with terror by delinquents, it is said that the convicts under the Irish Insur rection Act are to be conveyed to some other distant possession of the Crown. Some reports say, New Zealand. AMERICAN INTERCOURSE.—We may judge of the probable effect of the proposed measures on British Commerce, by the fact, that twenty years ago in the English West Indian Islands, a piece of China nankeen, called American nankeen, because smuggled from that Coun try, could be publicly purchased for one dollar, when the honest storekeeper must lose, if he sold a piece of English nankeen for Two,! WHIMSICAL APPELLATION.--MT. CREEVEY, it seems, is now distinguished in the political circles by the name of SmoLLETT, and the reason as signed for it is that he is the " continuation of HUME." Yesterday the Duke of YORK held a Levee as Commander-in-Chief, at his office in the Horse. Guards, which was attended by between 30 and 40 Officers. The SPEAKER'S last Parliamentary Levee for the present Session will be on Saturday, the 30th March. Various misrepresentations having appeared in he public prints, relative to the retirement of Sir B. BLOOMFIEID from his MAJESTY'S family, we baie the satisfaction of being able to state that his MAJESTY has shewn upon the occasion . the highest sense of his long.and faithful services, and that Sir BENJAMIN ‘Mtirt§ -with the approba tion of the Government, and a just sense of his SOVEREIGN'S gracious favour and munificence. — (Morning Post.) We can state on the authority of most confi dential letters from St. Petersburgh of the 22d February (the latest date of any information re ceived by any Minister, here,) that notwithstand ing the reports .so confidently circulated, things remained at that time in the same unsettled state between Russia and Turkey. in which they have so long been.—(Morning Chronicle.) The great St. Bernhard's mountain, in Swit zerland, which is 1278 feet above the level of the sea, and, which always used to be covered with deep snow, forms an exception to its wonted ap pearance this winter. In the month of December there might be seen pear the Hospicium e. house of entertainment); violets in bloom, as well as gentian-flower, lion's-tooth, lady's-glove, &c.; a , state of things in the vegetable world never before remembered. In the HanoVerian country storks and snipes, as well as May-flies, .made their appearance towards the latter end of Fe bruary. THE THEATRES. DttvrtY-LANE.--Mr. KEAN resumed the part of Sir Pertinqx M'Sycophant last night at this Theatre, and the natural result of his success the previous night was more easy .confidence and self-possession.—The House was well attended. The Afterpiece was The Three and the Deuce, and Mr. ELLISTON made his first ,appearance, in the three Singles, since his return from Paris. He was greeted with all the zeal due to an old favourite, and he sustained the three parts with admirable versatility. COVENT-GARDEN.-Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE made his first appearance this season last night . in The School for Scandal. We have seldom witnessed a more gratifying reception than he ex perienced on this occasion, as soon as he appeared presiding at the convivial board, in the part of Charles Surface. He came forward and testified his sense of the kindness which he received by . a graceful obeisance to every pArt of-the audience, who returned it by reiterated applause.—As he is well-known to be the best living representa tive of the character, it is only necessary to add, that he supported it throughout with unabated spirit, humour, and success.—Mr. M'CREADY would have been more successful in Joseph if he had spoken more audibly, but he delivered his part•in so low a tone that much of what he said was lost to the audience, otherwise he would doubtless have rendered the hypocrital senti metitalist more prominent. Mrs. DAVISON, as usual, was playful and effective in Lady Teazle. FARREN'S Sir Peter was an admirable perform ance. Sir Oliver could hardly have 'had a better representative than FAWCETT. YATES gave the part of Moses very successfully, and excited much applause by an allusion to losses in the five per cents. This temporary hit excited universal laughter.—MEADOWS took the part of Crabtree, instead of BLANCIIARD, who has obtained leave of absence.—The House was very well attended, and the Play holds such a proud ascendancy, compared with all later productions, that it will retain a considerable degree of popularity as long as there is any taste and judgment in the public. LISTON quits Covent-Garden Theatre at the end of the present season, having entered into an engagement f or fi ve years with the Haymarket Manager. BIBLE SOCIETY MEETING. Yesterday, the Seventh Anniversary Meeting of the . East London Auxiliary Bible Society was held at the LondorLTa vern.—The Meeting was very numerously attended, particular ly by ladies. Lord GAmBIER took the. Chair. The Secretary read the Report.—lt stated the great success with which the exertions of the Society had been attended since its commencement, 5,2561. 19s. Bd. having been received in aid of its object, and 11,226 Bibles distributed ; and it mentioned the formation of an asso ciation in Shoreditch, within the district of the Society, for the same benevolent purpose, by Lady Elizabeth Whitbread, which was likely to be attended with the greatest success, The R e p ort then entered into a l ong d eta il of the proceedings of the British and Foreign Bible Society, and also of Bible Societies formed in different parts of the world on the plan of the British, and influen ' ced by the example of this country. From these statements it ap peared that the circulation of the Scriptures is rap idly increasing in nearly every part of the globe. The extent of the efforts for diffu sing thelnowledge of the Scriptures; made by the Bible Societies established in Russia, of which the . Archbishops, Bishops, and Nobles are firm supporters, appeared remarkably striking, they having procnred- translations of th e Bibl e to .);.e made ip thirty different languages, and upwards orltltlifMcoliies having been printed and distributed to the subjects of that vast empire and the heathen nations adjoining. The Report was unanimously adopted. Resolutions of thanks to the Patron of the Society, the Duke of S ussex , t h e President, the E ar l of D a r n l ey, and the Vice-Presidents, were also unanimously agreed to; as was a Resolution for adding Mr. Charles Grant to the number of Vice-Presidents. Thanks were voted to Lord Gambier by acclamation, after which the Meeting separated. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ROYAL HUNT. Friday, his Majesty's Stag Hounds turned out a fine deer on Stoke Common for the day's diversion ; the day beingremarka bly fine, a numerous field of sportsmen attended. The deer at first took across the country to the right of High 'Wycombe, through the woods and inclosures down by Mr. Drake's Park at Amersham, taking up the lull, where he ran with great swiftness' across the country towards Hertfordshire, passing the Earl of Bridgewater s, at A shridge, and was taken between Hemel Hempstead and St. Alban's, after a long chace ; very few sportsmen continued the chase through, except the Hunts man and Whipper-in. A remarkable fine hunter died on re turning, which cost 150 guineas; many of the horses were much distressed, and will not hunt any more this season.— The Huntsman and hounds did not return home till Saturday afternoon. TROTTING MATCHES. A horse belonging to Mr. DI SOFT having done 30 miles in 11 minutes under three hours, on Monday, carrying 15 stone, anti the said horse having been accidentally picked up in Smithfield at a mere nominal price a few days ago, a Mr. Brian underto o k t o p ro d uce a h orse, lately purchased for 71. to trot 40 miles in four hours, and carry 15 stone. The lanky emblem of blood and bone, above 17 hands, was mounted by an old jockey yesterday morning, to do the match over a 10 mile piece of ground on the Hockerell road, for 100 guineas. The horse did the first 10 miles in 54 minutes 10 seconds ; the second in 56 minutes 50 seconds ; the third in 1 hour and 3 minutes ; and the last in 1 hour 3 minutes and 40 seconds. The horse never once broke from the trot, and the rider was the most distressed. • EXTRAORDINARY PEDESTRIANISM. This morning Mr. RAITEIRY, a Gentleman of fortune, re siding at the 'test End of the Town, Started to run ten miles in fifty-six minutes, for a stake of-'2OO sovereigns ; the Match was made at a well-known house in Bond-street a fortnight ago, since which Mr. R. has been - training. The odds were 6 and 7 to 4, in .favour of. time.---14, - Pedestrian started at seven :_o'clock, on a spot of -two inileOf ground on the Edg ware-Mad, accomplishing the distance as follows :- Ist 2 miles- - 11 min. 6 see. 2d . 2 - - - - 10 40 3d 2 - . - 11 0 4th 2 - - - 11 4 .sth 2 . - - - -12 0 10 miles. L 3 mm. 50 sec. It will thus be seen that Mr. It. won by only ten'seconds, and being rather a heavy man, was very much distressed; it is con sidered a first-rate performance, and large sums of money have changed hands on the occasion. • HAT TON-GARDEN.—MURDER OF MRS. DONATTY.—On this lamentable subject, nothing of a particular nature took place at this Office yesterday. No witnesses were examined, and there is not any one in custody for. the murder. A com munication was made from the Thames Police Office, by Jef fries the officer, respecting Davis, a noted thief, and a woman , named Lyons with, whom he cohabited, both relati ves o f t h e deceased, who had been char , ed at that Office with felony.— .They exonerated themselves from the charge of theft, but the Magistrates; before discharging them, called upon them to ac count for themselves'dming the night o 'the murder, which they were enabled satisfactorily to do, 4nd they were conse- quently discharged. The only instructions given regarding them, were to take down their names . and'places of abode. A kw nights ago some daring ruffians boarded a Welsh brig, lying in the River Thames, off Picicle Herring Stairs, and (unperceived by the crew, who were aslebp) they succeeded in robbing the vessel of fifteen chests of tea, and two bales of goods. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. The Countess Dowager of Clonmell, lion. J.

Saturday his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence arrived at Frogmore from Bushy Park, and paid a morning visit to her Royal highness the Princess Augusta. . . . ..• , .." ~ . - 1 • - 4 " - lib • , ), fit , : - 1, d •,•".i ' .1 1 . . -I , * ' - - ... , e , _ . 0 , 4, .„,....... .. .. kr ......aw .1, •••I , • ..' .. 1 1 6 ,..

Sweet smiling Cherub, if for thee, Indulgent Ileav'n would grant my pray'r, And might the threads of Destiny Be woven by maternal care ; No golden wishes there should twine, 11' thy life's web was wrought by me ; Calm, peaceful pleasures,. should be thine, From Grandeur and Ambition free ! I would not ask for Courtly Grace, • Around thy polish'd limbs to play, Nor Beauty's smile to deck thy face, (Giv'n but to lead some heart astray ;) I would not ask the Wreath of Fame, • Around thy youthful brow to twine ; Nor that the STATESMAN'S envied name, And tinsel'd honors, should be thine! Ne'er may War's crimson'd laurels bloom, To crown thee with a ElEtto's wreath ; (Like roses smiling o'er a tomb, Horror and death lie hid beneath;—) Nor yet be thine his feverish life, On whom the fatal Muses smile : The POET, like the Indian Wife, Oft lights his own funereal pile! No !—I would ask that Virtue bright •• May fix thy footsteps ne'er to stray ; That meek Religion's holy light, May guide thee thro' life's desert way; That manly Sense, and purest Truth, (A breast Contentment's chosen shrine,) May thro' the slippery paths of youth, Unstain'd, untarnish'd, still be thine ! That Love's chaste flame—that Friendship's glow, May kindle in thy gen'rous breast; That Peace, vihich greatness ne'er can know, Be thy calm pillow's nightly guest ; Sweet smiling Infant! if for thee, Indulgent lleav'n would hear my pray'r ; Thus, should the web of Destiny, Be woven by a Mother's care ! MISCELLANEOUS. LOVERS are in general a vile set of mendicants, and, like most beggars, very bumble till they gain the objects of their petition : they then discredit your favours, by the li centious abuse of them. If lovers in a manly manner would solicit a lady's hand, there would be no occasion for all the whining and mump i ng o f t h ese amorous mendicants, and openness and honour on both sides would form the basis of this confidential treaty. TuToits.—When an ingenious and learned tutor sits among a dull and heavy class of pupils, exerting himself to instruct them by all his powers of explanation, he reminds me of an active rider seated on ' a dull jade of a horse ; his limbs and whole body are in the utmost state of activity, yet it is manifest to the spectators that lie gets on very slowly, and is riding much faster than his horse. SENTIMENTALITY.—It would be as pernicious in private life for an individual to act under the direction of his feelings and sentiments, instead of established moral principles, as it would be, in public life, for a legislator or lawyer to leave the rules of law, and determine by his own private opinions of equity. this dicere et non • dare controuls the greatest powers of judicature in this country. My Lord Coke (Institut. 4,) cautions Parliaments " to leave all causes to be measured by the golden and straight rule of the law, and not by the uncer tain and crooked cord of discretion." - THE WORLD.—There are three ways of treat ing the world,—by abusing its views and follies lamenting them both, or laughi ng a t th em . J uvena l did the first, with all the tribe of satirists. Heraclitus, the philosopher, wept at the ways of the world, Democritus laughed at them. I prefer the latter mode - of chewing how very contemptible.l think the world is in - :general, especially amongst " good kind of people." VIRTUE.—How many men are virtuous, from knowing not how many are the temptations to vice in the world; as many others are very bold, .from an ignorance of the danger which may be in the way of their pursuits. Many men are bullies, because they never met. a- bolder man than themselves. KnoWledge of the world makes men very quiet, as they know hbw many there are, from various reasons, in clined to be otherwise. ENIGMAS AND RIDDLES were first made use of under despotic governments, where persons used to conceal their meanings, for fear of incurring some tyrannous act of power against them. At present they are the favourites of those whose capacity or disposition does not enable or induce them to speak plainly : knaves hate truth ; and fools have no respect for it, so mystery and roguery govern the world. ACOUSTICS.—It is well known in the doctrine of sounds that the softest whisper will travel as ctist as the loud est thunder ; so that a little scandal delivered at the table of Mrs. E. though in the most gentle tones, will travel with amaz ing speed to all the tea-tables in the most extensive town. ELEVATED SITUATIONS.—I lately met a friend who has arrived to a prosperous state of rank and f ortune , and shaking hands w ith him found a great coldness in the palm, and I observed at the same time an appearance of stiffness in all his gestures. These phenomena were explained to me by reading an account of persons who have travelled in bal loons, and who, in elevated situations, have experienced a great access of coldness and.rigidity of limbs to take place. WEALTII.—There is much cant,in the philoso phy which decries riches as incapable to make men happy, and much of the fallacy of this sentiment, as it happens with regard to other old sayings; consists of the obscurity or imperfection of language. Wise men - do make them selves happy by means of wealth, thOugh riches themselves, strictly speaking, :cannot make - happiness. - The carpenter's tools cannot make a table without the skill of the artist : wealth supplies the wise man with tools, and do not his tools make his happiness. In this sense the Latin proverb is to be understood Quisque sum Prtzence Aber." MERCANTILE SIIIPPING, kc. DEAL, MARCH 19.—Wind W.—Airixed and sailed for the River the Admiral Cockburn, Briggs, from Peru and Pernam buco ; and Fame, Trukey, from Lisbon. Arrived and remain s the Minerva, from Newcastle' for Malaga. Came down from the River and remain the Intrepid trnsport, for Plymouth ; Lavinia, Scum, for Madeira ; and . - Penclope Clark, for South Carolina. • • ST.

PORT GLASGOW, MARCH 17.—A number of vessels have cleared for sea for sonic weeks past, but from the prevailing blowing weather from the south and westward, they cannot get out of the River. MARGATE, MARcit 19.—Arrived off here, the James, illowett, from the South Seas and New South• Wales, twenty weeks from Port Jackson. II anwicii, 111aacit 19.—Arrived, the Isabella, Tongs, from Sunderland, and Air Balloon, Wilson ; the former with loss of anchor and cable, the latter with loss of bowsprit. SouTitwor,D, 111Ancir 19.—The Swiftsure; steam vessel, pf London, from Lynn, was last night night brought in here almost in a sinking state, not from damage in her bottom, but from what had gone down her hatchway; her engine and rudder were rendered useless. nun!

THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 20. Our market continues the same as on Monday in respect to prices, and but so little doing that those prices may be said to be nominal, this is the state of the market in general ; but little fresh corn at market to-day, and the general run of inferior quality. HOP INTELLIGENCE. .11AinsToNE, MARCH 14.—Our supply of hops has become so very trifling as to be scarcely worth notice. We have not had to-day more than 'frOni 50 to 60 Bags and Pockets offered for sale, and those entirely .from. the Weald of Kent, which were mostly sold at a reduction of about 2s. per cwt.--we quote Bags faom 58s. to 745.; Pockets, 60s. to 745. We certainly have no middle Kent hops left Worthy of a name. The very large breadth of hop plantation last year sown with corn and planted with other vegetables, has so much injured the plant as to render it impossible for much, if any, produce to be expected from such lands this year. 'We think we may very safely say that our plantations are lessened full one fifth.
