DItURY•JAANE.—The Siege of Belgrade, to those who had the pleasure of being acquainted with Mr. COBB, the author, attaches a more than common interest to its representation. A. more amiable and a more accomplished character was hardly to be found. His good sense, general knowledge, benevolent disposition, polished manners, and, still more, his moral worth, excited universal respect and e.iteem. As a dramatist he has displayed ingenuity and taste. All his productions were successful, and some of them deservedly retain a station on the stage.—But to the per formance. The Siege of Belgrade, which abounds in comic incidents, and which comprizes an inte resting story, was last night brought forward with all the musical strength of this Theatre. — Mr. BRAHAM was very warmly received by a nu morons audience on his return in the part of The Seraskier, and he requited them by a full exer tion of his great vocal powers. We have not room for detail, and can therefore only add that the Opera was in general well supported.— BRAIIAM had several encores. Miss FORDE ap peared to much advantage in Katharine, and was encored in" Descend bright Victory." Mrs.VEs- TIM was very sprightly in Lilla. COOPER gave an animated support to Cohenberg, Miss PovEY, HARLEY, GATTIE, &c. &c. all embodied their characters so well that the whole was received with abundant applause. C O VENT-GARDEN.--Mr. MACREADY resumed the character of Henri Quatre, last night, in the drama of that name. He sustained the part with dignity and effect. BARTLEY gave an air of blunt honesty to Moustache. Miss M. TREE, Miss BEAUMONT, Miss LOVE, ABBOTT, EGERTON, &c. severally contributed respectable aid to the piece, and all strongly contributed to the general entertainment. CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 21. UNIVERSITY ELECTION.—The VICE-CHAN CELLOR having received the precept from the Sheriff, has appointed Tuesday next, the 26th instant, for the election of a Representative in Parliament for this University. The near approach of the contest has, with the increased feelings of interest which it has excited, pro duced proportionate exertions among the Mem bers of the different Committees and the friends of the respective candidates. It might be expect ed, from the length of time which has elapsed since the commencement of the canvass, that the public opinion would in some degree have enabled us to state, with tolerable certainty, on whom this distinguished honour would devolve ; but so diversified and yet so apparently synoni mous are the pretensions of three of the candi dates, that it is difficult to conjecture which way many gentlemen whose political principles are well known, will vote upon the present occasion. Lord Hervey, Mr. Scarlett, and Mr. Grant, we believe, entertain sentiments in common on that most important question, Catholic Eman cipation. The first candidate not having yet entered into the arena of political debate, his opinions may not be , so decidedly formed as those of Mr. Scarlett, who, being considered as a staunch Whig, is of course supported by that party ; while his Lordship, from his connec tions, receives considerable aid from the friends of Ministers. Mr. Grant stands high in the opinion of both parties, although it is under stood that he is favourable to the general measures of the present Administration. — The other Candidate, Mr. Bankes, having so openly and fully avowed his political sentiments, it is hardly necessary to observe, that he is most firmly and undisguisedly the supporter of the present constitution of affairs in Church and State ; and we should think that those Mem bers of the Senate, who are really in earnest in petitioning against further concessions to the Catholics, will not for a moment hesitate in the choice of Mr. Bankes to be their ad vocate whenever it may be considered re quisite to petition the House of Commons on that subject. Every preparation has been made for the accommodation of the voters, and it is expected that the contest will be kept up, with undiminished spirit, till the last moment. In consequence of representations which have been very industriously and extensively circu lated of the unfriendly disposition of St. John's College towards Mr. Bankes, that Gentleman's friends feel themselves called upon to state, that so far from this being the fact, Mr. Bankes is very strongly supported by the members of that society. Even at the present period of his can vass, although, from particular circumstances, he appeared so late in the field, Mr. Bankes has more declared friends amongst the resident Fel lows than any other candidate. At a congregation on Wednesday last the fol lowing Degrees were conferred : HONItiIIARY MASTER OF ARTS.—Lord George Henry Spencer Churchill, of Emmanuel College, third son of the Duke of Marlborough. BACHELOR IN DIVINITY.—Rev. John Miles, Queen's College, head master in the Royal Academy of Music. MASTER OF ART S.—Reverend Algernon Sydney Thelwall, Trinity College. BACHELOR IN CIVIL LAW.—Rev.

Clarke's col lection of minerals at the sum of 15001." A sailor, at the battle of Trafalgar, who was actively employed at one of the guns on the quarter-deck of the Britannia, had his leg shot off a little below the knee, and observing an offi cer who was ordering him to be conveyed to the cockpit, said, " That's but a shilling touch, your Honour : an inch higher and I should have had eighteen-pence for it !" (alluding to the scale of pensions allowed for wounds•) The same reso lute fellow, as they were lifting him on a brother tar's shoulders, said to one of his friends, " I say, Bob, take a look for my leg, and give me the silver buckle out of my shoe ; I'll do as much for you another time !" PRINCESS AUGUSTA and DUKE of CAMBRIDGE. DOVER, Nov. 20.—His Majesty's steam-packet the Arrow, came round from the Downs this morning into these Roads, and after taking the mail and passengers on board sailed for Calais. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, after break fasting, visited the Castle and underground works, and was much pleased. Upon joining his Illustrious Sister at Wright's Hotel, they prepared to embark on board his Majesty's steam packet the Dasher, which had received their carriages and was ready to sail, but their Royal Highnesses having been advised, that from the great surf running in front of the har bour, the tide's taking off, and it blowing a strong breeze, it would be dangerous to sail, abandoned embarking from hence altogether, and determined to go to Ramsgate. The carriages were in consequence disembarked, and two of them, with their Royal Highnesses suites, left Dover directly. Prior to their Royal Highnesses leaving Wright's Hotel for Ramsgate, the Dasher went out of harbour with perfect safety, to take their Royal Hi g hnesses on board at that port ; and the Defence pas sage-vessel also sailed for Calais with passengers, and got out, of the harbour extremely well. There is little doubt, should the wind continue in the same quarter as it has blown for the last three days, that their Royal Highnesses will find as much difficulty in reaching Calais from Ramsgate as from this port. Their Royal Highnesses left here at three this afternoon, in separate carriages, under a salute from the guns at the Heights. On their leaving Wright's Hotel, to step into the carriages, the Band struck up " God save the King," and they were most enthusiastically cheered by an immense assemblage of persons collected in front of the hotel, which was returned in she most condescending manner by their Royal Highnesses. 2... „, • - Ape , .... ..1. ...

TUNBRIDGE WELLS, Nov.—The weather continuing fine, with the exception of two or three days, this part of Kent has had an accession of visitants upon the hills. The Sussex Hotel, has had a remarkably prosperous season, under the judi cious management of the present owner. The balls are over ; but there is a talk of monthly assemblies during the winter. Dinners and Card-parties occupy the evenings. Coursing and Shooting among the Gentlemen have afforded some admirable sport. TALLOW TRADE. SECONDARY'S OFFICE, Nov. 21. MITCAELLS V. RAINER. This was an inquiry to assess the damage sustained by the plaintiffs, in consequence of the defendant's non-performance o f a contract for tallow, which he had entered into with them. Mr. MAULS stated the plaintiffs' case. The defendant, he said, had purchased from the plaintiffs' broker, acting on their account, on the 27th of February last, 465 casks of Archangel tallow, to be delivered on the 27th of the following month, and paid for in cash, at the rate of 48s. 6d. per cwt., deducting five and a half months' discount. The tallow was offered to the defendant on the day of delivery, according to the terms of the contract, but he declined taking it, and never since performed his con tract. The plaintiffs, in consequence of the defendant's re fusal to fulfil his agreement, brought an action against him in Trinity Term, to recover damages for the loss they sustained. On the trial of that action the defendant allowed Judgment to go by default, and the present inquiry was to assess the amount of the damages to which the plaintiffs were entitled. Mr. Samuel Dzotc stated, that he was a Russia Broker, and negociated the sale of the Tallow in question between the plain tiffs and the defendant. The witness read from his book the terms of the contract, which corresponded in ever particular with the statement made by the paintiffs' Counsel. He had some months since retired from the business of a Tallow Broker, and could not state the present price with certainty. Mr. Charles Soames, a Russian Broker, stated, that the pre sent price of Archangel Tallow brack 1821 (the quality of the Tallow in question), was 335. per cwt. ; he had for some days past been endeavouring to obtain 3 4 5. but found it impossible. On his cross-examination the witness said, he sold 100 casks of new yellow candle tallow the day before, at 375. 6d. per cwt. but that quality always sold higher than Archangel Tallow, from 3s. to Gs. per cwt. It was agreed between the Solicitors of the parties, that the quantity of Tallow sold at the contract price amounted to 73931. Is. 6d. after deducting the five and a half months' inte rest, which sum should have been paid on the 2 7th of March ; and for its retention the plaintiffs claimed interest to the day of the inquiry, which added to the difference between the contract price and the present price, together with the charge . for the storage and insurance of the tallow, and a commission to be paid on the re-sale, made the whole of the plaintiffs' demand amount to 27431. 4s. Bd. The defendant's Solicitor agreed to all the items of this sum except the charge for interest. Mr. MAULE contended, that under a decision of Lord Ellen borough, the plaintiffs were clearly entitled to interest; his Lordship having ruled that, when it was contracted that money should be paid on a certain day, and the payment was delayed, interest was chargeable. The defendant's Solicitor submitted, that the contract in this case was different from a contract for the payment of money, being for goods bargained and sold, which were to be paid for on delivery, but no delivery having taken place, the time of pay ment had not arrived, and no interest could be chargeable for the non-payment. The SECONDARY, in charging the Jury, said, as the defend ant was to have been allowed discount for making the payment on the 27th of March, it appeared reasonable that he should pay interest for having retained it. The Jury, after some deliberation, said, they would neither deduct the discount from the price of the tallow, nor-allow the plaintiffs interest for the nonpayment. On a calculation it appeared, that this decision would take 771. 15s. 2d. from the plaintiff's demand ; and The Jury immediately returned a.verdiet for the plaintiffs-- damages, 2,6651. 9s. 61 His Grace the Duke of LEINSTEa is now lay ing out grounds for the cultivation of field grapes and delicate fruits, according to the plan, the notice of which originated with this Journal. — The discoverer of the plan is now with the Duke at Carton—and two English Dukes are among the personages who are anxious that the dis coverer should visit the sister kingdom.—(Dublin Patriot.) A country paper contains the following project, which is one of the nearest approaches to the scheme of Swift's Laputan Projector which has yet appeared :—" An apparatus for printing has been invented, on principles of, extraordinary in genuity. The first part of the operation is the casting of the types in a machine, which, though simple in its structure, performs a variety of mo tions, by which the types are founded, finished, and distributed into cases ready for the com- positor. The second part of the apparatus is a machine for composing, or collecting the individual types together into words, lines, and sentences ; which is effected by jacks and keys, to be played upon in the man ner of a harpsichord or piano-forte. The third part of the apparatus is that which is used in taking off the impressions from the types. — The principles upon which this part of the ma chinery is constructed are very different from those of the founding and composing apparatus, but equally good, and more expeditious. After the types in the form have given the number of impressions desired, they are returned to the melting-pot, re-cast, and distributed mechan ically : which iS more expeditiously performed than the old process of breaking up the type by hand, securing also the advantage of new type, and consequent uniformity throughout a long work, which by the old method could riot be easily accomplished. The whole of the me i chanism is worked with perfect ease by manual labour. A Mr. Church is the inventor : he has perfected the press at Oxford." THE TRAPPISTE.—One of the French Jour nals gives the following account of the Spanish Chief who makes so conspicuous a figure in the Army of the Faith, under the name of the Trap piste :—" During the wars in Spain, this man was a Captain of Guerillas. After the peace his mind took a religious turn, and lie retired to La Trappe, in Spain, where he was received as a lay-brother. The Revolution, which desolated his country, awakened all his ardour. After a long solici tation, he succeeded in obtaining permission to resume the profession of arms. He always dresses in the habit of his Order, and the words, " it is the will of God," are constantly in his mouth. With a whip in one hand and a sword in the other, he advances at the head of his troop, crying out to the enemy, " Fire upon me ; I am Brother Antonio; I fear nothing. God's will be done !" At the taking of Urgel he repeatedly ex posed himself ) but was never wounded. A third habit has been just made for him; the two first, pierced with halls, have been torn up by the soldiers of the Faith, who think themselves in vulnerable when they have about them a piece of the habit of Brother Antonio." MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.—TWELVE PER SONS DROWNED.—On Sunday, the 3d instant, a boat upset betwixt Kirkwall and Shapinshay, by which twelve persons returning home from Church were lost, viz.—William Borwick, te nant at Sound in Shapinshay ; Ellen, Margaret, and Euphemia, his three eldest daughters ; Tho mas Heddle, Thos. Groat, and Margaret Smith, farm servants ; Thomas Bell, son of G. Bell, at Cliffdale ; 'William Leask, residing there; Eliz. Peace, his wife ; Magnus Leask, his brother ; and Peter Peace, his wife's twin brother. These melancholy events have left the relatives of most of the sufferers dependent on public benevolence.

The Proprietors of Covent-garden Theatre, with a liberality that reflects the highest honour on their management, have rescinded the original articles of agreement between Miss F. H.

ANECDOTE OF DR.SMOLLETT.—A lad who was apprenticed to a chirurgeon in Glasgow, was re ceiving a severe reprimand from his master for quitting the shop, when he alleged in his ex cuse that be had been hit by a snow-ball, and had gone out in pursuit of the person (young Smollett) who had thrown it. His master ex patiated at some length on the improba bility of such a story, and concluded with saying, in a confident tone, " How long might I stand here, and such a thing not happen to me ?" when Smollet, who stood behind the pillar of the shop-door, and heard what passed, snatched up a snow-ball, and quickly delivered his play -mate from the dilemma this question had placed him in, by an answer equally prompt and conclusive. The Mermaid has got into Chancery. As she has been entangled in the net of the law, she must extricate herself as well as she can. It would be curious if she were made a Ward in Chancery. THE ARMY. GUERNSEY, Nor. B.—The following Circular and General Militia Order was issued yesterday from Head-quarters, officially signed by order of the Commander-in-Chief here,dated November 6, 1822, respecting a newly adopted plan regard ing the drilling of Militia Recruits in this Island : COPY OF CIRCULAR. " With reference to the former communication to the Offi cers commanding Corps respecting the necessity of adopting in future some uniform and regular system for the drill of Militia Recruits, the Commander-in-Chief now calls their attention to the following Order ; in complying with which, he imagines there will be no difficulty : " Ile observes, from the remarks which they have forwarded to him on this subject, that they coincide with him. In framing these Orders, he has endeavoured, as much as possible, to at tend to the suggestion which they have transmitted to him ; and as the Colonels are anxious to be at the head of respect- able and well disciplined Corps, he trusts that they will exert themselves to carry into effect a system which, if adhered to, cannot fail to improve the appearance and discipline of their Regiments, which, no doubt, will afford satisfaction to the in habitants of the island, whether in peace or war, to have a well disciplined Militia." GENERAL MILITIA ORDER. Head-Quarters, Nov. 6, 1822. ORDERED—ln‘future, during peace, no men who loin---the Militia will be allowed to fall in with their companies till they have attended drill for six months, nor till they are perfect in every part of duty required from them. Such Dien who have been placed in the ranks without having been properly drilled, will be directed to complete their drill.— Recruits under the age of 18, will not be placed in the ranks, nor will clothing be belivered to them, till after that a&e, or till they have become effective, and can exercise with their respec tive corps. Boy-recruits will attend drill for six months, or till they arc perfect in their exercise ; and prizes will be distributed to those who, on inspection, are found to have made the greatest progreii Every recruit on his being called out will attend five succes sive days in the week, viz. from Monday to Friday t the drill for recruits to commence in April, and end. in September. The next three months following he must attend twice a week, and the remainder of his time once a-week. He must be on the drill-ground two hours before sun-set, and will never be more than two hours at one drill. A monthly return will be forwarded to Head-quarters by all the Corps, in which will be specified the number of times re cruits have attended. - _ Should any recruit fail to attend, his name will be transmitted to the Commanding Officer of his Corps, and by him . to Head quarters, for the purpose of being transmitted to the King's Law Officers. If he cannot attend in consequence of sickness, or have any reasonable excuse for his absence, he must notify the same to the Assistant Serjeant-Major. The Assistant Serjant-Major of the Militia, with his Assist ants, will always have the charge of the drill, under the super intendence of the Field Officers, Adjutants, or some other Commissioned Officers. Those Non-commissioned Officers must be intelligent men, and pefectedly instructed in every part of their military duty, and will be occasionally employed in other duties in the field. It is supposed that the pay of the above-mentioned Serjeants may be charged to the Annual Accounts of the Militia. If Serjeants who are perfectly able to undertake the above duty cannot be found in the Militia, Commanding Officers of Corps may probably be able to select three young men willing to be employed, and can send them to the Regiments of the Line in garrison here to be instructed. For the purpose of ascertaining whether the Officers of each Company know their duty, and of ensuring the individual steadiness of the men, it is recommended that, once during the spring, on some day on which the Militia has been accustomed to parade, every Company, in presence of the Commanding Officer, be drilled by its own Officer, first without arms, march ing in line, filing, and wheeling ; then at the manual and pla. toon exercises, and marching with arms, and forming sections, subdivisions, and companies. This short drill will not occupy much time, and will be of much use in correcting the inaccu racies in moving, that generally occur when, Regiments have been some months without exercise. All the Serjeants should be taken out once a year, and in structed in taking places for the ithelon movement, and in tak. ing up distances for subdivisions and companies. For this drill the Assistant-Serjeant-Major must be furnished with a line di vided into paces. It would be very desirable to erect sheds for the drill of Re cruits in bad weather ; but it is thought the expences of erect , ing them in time of peace would not be defrayed by the State, and that the Parishes would think them unnecessary.
