In deed, the behaviour of the unhappy man in question, during his trial was such as to draw from the Chief Justice the expression of a doubt as to his being in a sane state of mind.— Next to the satisfaction which we feel at a ver dict that again vindicates the religion of the State from the profane attacks of the enemies of So ciety, is that which we experienced from witness ing the dignity and temper with which the Court condescended to sustain the rude insults of the ignorant and infatuated defendant, whose frantic and irrelevant conduct, and impertinent and flip pant expressions, were certainly calculated to put the utmost forbearance and gravity of the judicial character to the test. The result of these petty and despicable assaults is only to elevate that character still higher in dignity, and to afford to the world additional evidence of the incorruptible purity of British Justice. The contrast between the upright and inflexible dig nity of an English Judge, and some of the scenes exhibited in the courts of justice in France, must increase the veneration in which our own admi rable institutions are held by every intelligent and reflecting mind. COLOMBIAN LOAN. The following letter has been addressed by M. 'LEA, to the Contractors for the Colombian Loan : " Bedfont, Oct. 22, 1822. " GENTLEMEN—The Proclamation issued by the Vice- President of the Republic of Colombia, dated Bogota, the Ist June, to which you have drawn my attention, has not reached me through any authorized channel,- but I see no reason to doubt its authenticity. I attribute this Proclamation, in fact, to very earnest representations which I have urged upon the Government, on the necessity of preventing, in future, its powers from being applied to purposes not within their due scope, and sub-delegated to other persons not contemplated by the Government. " In reference to the Loan negotiated with you at Paris, I can only refer you to the power deposited in your hands, signed by the executive authority, most complete in its form and te nor, and which has never been revoked in the slightest degree, directly or indirectly. " In unison with the power itself, .he instructions with which I am furnished specially direct me to raise a Loan in Europe, whenever it should be practicable, and on conditions which have not been exceeded in my engagement with you. " No advice has yet reached me of my despatches, which announced the Contract for the Loan having arrived at Bogota. " Having, in no respect, exceeded the powers granted to me by the Government of Colombia, I have only to add, that the Government will be found faithful, in all respects, to the en gagements I have entered into its behalf.-1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) " F. A. ZEA. " Messrs. Charles Herring, W. Graham, and J. Ditton Powles, Contractors for the Colombian Loan." IMPRESSMENT. The following is an extract of a letter from Mr. WILLIAM MALTMAN, purser of the lion. Company's ship Thomas Coatis, to S. MARJORI BANKS and Co. dated Madras, May 13, 1822, accompanied with a Protest : " I am sorry to observe that the same conduct which has existed with the men of war in this country for some years past still appears to be going on, and that on the day of our arrival -(and before the Thomas Coutts was moored) we were boarded by a boat from his Majesty's ship Glasgow, Capt. Doyle, who beat up for volunteers, and took with them no less than eighteen of our best seamen, three of whom were quarter-masters. Capt. Chrystie, and the officers of the Coutts, did every thing in their power to resist the threats of the officers of the man of war from carrying off the ship's company in this way ; but their remonstrances had no effect, as they sent boats armed with marines, and absolutely forced the people out of the ship. We have sent in. a strong representation to the Governor in Conn cil, " and protested. against the conduct of Capt. Doyle and the officers of the Glasgow ; but whether they will interfere so as to get the men sent back to the Coutts or not, is matter of doubt. It has thrown the ship into complete distress for the want of men, and should we not get the people again, there will be much difficulty in getting hands here." THE PROTEST. TO CAPT. DOYLE OF HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP GLASGOW. Madras, May 13, 1822. SlR.,—Understanding that your ship is about to proceed to sea, with the eighteen men, quarter-masters, and the best sea men of the Hon. Company's ship Thomas Coutts, which your boats carried away from that ship, I hereby beg leave to ac quaint you, that the ship Thomas Coutts has thereby been rendered unfit for the purposes of her voyage; and that I hold you responsible to my owners, insurers, and all concerned, for all events that may happen in consequence of your having dis tressed the ship.-1 am, Sir, (Signed) ALEX. CIIRYSTIE. • On this being communicated to-fhe officers of the Glas gow, they replied that the Navy did not acknowledge that authority. [FROM AN AMERICAN PAPER OF THE 21ST SEPT.] The Chinese have refused a place of burial where it was desired to Mrs. MORRISON, wife of the Rev. Dr. M., Missionary, and where an in fant of Mrs. M. was before interred ; and those Christians who inhabit Macao not allowing other Christians any place of interment but without the limits of the fosse outside the city wall, the managing Committee of the English Factory in China, wits a humane and liberal feeling, being assisted by some worthy Portuguese Gentlemen, to overcome legal impediments, purchased a piece of ground, to be a cemetary for the English, and we doubt not other Protestant Christians, who in future may choose to avail themselves of it. This arrangement enabled Mr. MORRISON to lay the remains of his lamented wife in a place de cently appropriate for interment. Yesterday morning, a little after daylight, rain commenced falling in very heavy showers, and continued through the day ; the ultimate effect of this acceptable change after a long drought and great heat must be favourable to the general health of the city and country at large. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the Right Hon. Lord AMHERST was appointed Governor-General of Bengal. It is with pleasure we announce, from the best authority, that his MAJESTY purposes being at the Pavilion on Saturday. Intimation, i❑ truth, to such an effect has been received at the Palace. As a matter of course, therefore, haut ton arrivals here will speedily be on the increase.—The Duke of CAMBRIDGE is continuing his sojourn at the Pavilion ; his Royal Highness, in the gene rosity of his nature, neglects no opportunity in which, by considerate condescensions, he can promote either individual or the general interests of the tow n.--(Brighton Chronicle.) THE THEATRES: • DRURY-LANE.—Mt. YOUNG repeated his per formance of Hamlet last night, and was attended by a very numerous audience. The Play itself justly ranks among the very best productions of our great dramatic Bard, and therefore its attraction is creditable to the public taste. Since the re cession of Mr. JOHN KEmar,E, the character now legitimately belongs to the rival legatees, Mr. YOUNG and Mr. C. KEmar.E,and, therefore, a com petition between these two excellent Performers would doubtless render that admirable Drama still more attractive, and strongly tend . to the re vival of a sound critical taste in the public. WEST LONDON THEATRE.—We- may indeed congratulate the public on the accession of Mr. BRUNTON to the Management of this elegant little Theatre, which is now fast rising into po pularity. The indefatigable Manager has just produced two new pieces, one founded on REyNorms's Comedy of The Will. This Bur letta is admirably sustained in all the characters ; but the great attraction of the . evening is the _Minna Mandeville of Miss BRlncrox. When we witness so much talent as this young Lady dis plays in all the characters that she undertakes,' we think it is a reflection on the judgment of the Patent Managers that she has not a yermanent situation on the Winter Boa r d s . Thetafterpiece' is a translation from the French, the story of which resembles in some degree "Forty Thieves," from the Arabian Nights, but without the aid 'of Fairies and Genii. It is well put together, and supported by such performers as BRUN• TON'S Loveday, and MISS BRUNTON'S Morgiana, could 'scarcely fail of success. It was received with great applause by a very numerous and re spectable audience, and announced for repetition amidst repeated marks of approbation; MISS STEPHENS and Mr. LEONI LEE are now at Edinburgh where they are engaged for twelve nights at the theatre, and appeared on Monday last as Polly and Macheath. LEONI LEE has proved himself on the Haymarket boatds a very pleasing singer, and respectable as an Actor. Miss JARMAN, who has been so popular on the Bath Stage as to render it strange that she has not yet found her way to a London Theatre, is engaged to perform a few nights in Dublin, and she made a very successful debut there on Saturday, as Letitia Hardy. Bury Theatre was well attended on Saturday night, when the Duke of NORFOLK bespoke the play. The company has obtained a fresh acces sion of strength in Miss GLOVER, the daughter of the esteemed actress of that name at Drury-lane. She made her debut as a singer in Rosina, on Thursday, and was received with great eclat. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. A mail arrived this morning from Rio de Janeiro, bringing letters from Bahia, dated on the Ist of September, by which it appears that the Brazilians, after a short resistance, had possessed themselves of the island of Taparica, only seven miles distant from Bahia. At the above period the second expe dition from Portugal had not arrived at Bahia, and the Portu gtrese troops there did not exceed 2,500 men. In the meantime the Brazilians were approaching that place by land, and little doubt was entertained of the speedy establishment of the liberties of, certainly, the most important state in South Americi, from its extent, situation, climate, productions, &c. ' gratifying to the well-wishers of humanity to observe at present, that where ever the standard of freedom is planted, success is its ge neral attendant. In Greece it has has triumphant, for by advices received from Salonichi o f th e 14 t h o f, S eptem b er, it 1, appears that this long oppressed people, taking advantage of their commanding fleet; had made different disembarkations on the coast of Macedonia, and had much harrassed the barbarians by their activity. CHOURCIIID PACHA had received the most pressing orders from Constantinople to make a second attempt to beat down the liberties of the Morea, but his means were so in adequate, that no success was expected from his efforts ; and, besides, a numerous corps of Greeks from Vrathory had ad vanced to Thessaly, and threatened the rear ,;f the Turkish army, should they make any attempt again to penetrate into Livadia. In Spain, liberty is attended by equally beneficial results. In the City no doubt is entertained of General Mina's important victory over the Baron D'Eroles. The Army of the Faith is composed of banditti and legitimate robbers, who oc cupy the tops of mountains, and rob unprotected travellers. Their conduct may, however, delay, but it cannot alter the final result, which must crown the Ptninsula with the bless ings of liberty and prosperity. At the Corn Exchange, the fresh arrivals of grain since Mon day amount to 4,400 quarters of wheat, 4,000 sacks of flour, 3,190 quarters of barley, 10,600 quarter's of oats, with 430 quarters of the latter article from the starved population of Ireland. The trade, on the whole, is extremely heavy, without any alteration in prices, but large supplies will reduce the value of every article, should the wants of other districts not draw them from the London market. For bonded wheat the export , demanded continues at low prices, anti bonded barley and oats are also both inquired after for the Spanish and Portuguese markets. There is every prospect that during the winter and spring months a quantity of bonded grain now in England will find a market in foreign nations. A good deal of business was done this day in the British Funds, which has produced a slight advance, and strengthened the opinions of those who look for a considerable improvement. The panic in the Foreign Funds has nearly subsided thi s d a y, and the usual bustle has been exhibited. In Paris the Spanish Old Bonds haue advanced to 90, and the difference betwixt their value and that of the new is thus ac counted for in letters received from that capital. One Hundred Old Span. Bonds of 100 dollars each, are equal tolo,ooo dollars. The Spanish Government will receive these dollars at 70 per cent., and the 100 Old Bonds will consequently produce 7,000 dollars in money. By converting 7,000 dollars in money into subscriptions in the Great Book, at 50 per cent. they will produce 14,000 dollars, in the new Spanish Stock ; 14,000 dollars in the New Stock, at the last Paris price of 71i, with an exchange of 4s. 3d. a dollar, will produce the sum of 2,127/. ss. sterling. Comparing this with the pre sent price of the Old Bonds, it will appear that so long as the New Loan is not under 711, the Old Bonds will leave a small profit at par, for 100 Bonds of 100 dollars each at par, are worth 10,000 dollars, which, at the fixed exchange of 4s. 3d. will pro duce 2,125/. A great deal of business was .done this day in this Stock, and the New closed at 731, after the closing of the Ex ckange. The Poyais New Loan is done at 84, and on the whole the market looks favourably for every description of funded or nation al securities.--( Morning Chronicle.) We understand that a rencontre took place on Tuesday morning between Sir HunsoN LowE and the Baron LAS CASAS, eldest son of the Count of that name, opposite the house of the former, when the Baron applied a horsewhip to the shoulders of the Major-General.—plorning Chronicle.) In consequence of the death of J. IL SMYTH, Esq. late Member for the University of Cam bridge, it is understood that the SPEAKER of the House of Commons is likely to succeed to that honourable representation without opposition. The remains of THOMAS M'KENRIE, M.P. were to be removed this day from Leicester square, for interment in the New Church, Mary le-hone. Lady NUGENT, we are concerned to state, lies dangerously ill at Viscount EBRINGTON'S house in North Audley-street. Her Ladyship is at tended by three physicians. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

The Annual Festival in commemoration of the Birth-day of the Royal Founder of Christ's Hospital, King EDWARD VI. was yesterday held at the City of London Tavern, Bishops gate-street.—JOHN By cx, Esq. in the Chair. To celebrate this Anniversary, a numerous company assembled, con sisting of about 130 Gentlemen, among whom were noticed. the Heads of the Establishment, some" Members of the Cor poration, and several merchants of the greatest respectability in the City, many of whom have since become Governors, and all of whom were educated at this excellent Institution, and who refer their success in life.to the benefit they received at this Foundation. The following appropriate lines, which were expressly written for a former meeting, were on this occasion congenial to the sentiments which pervaded the hilarity of the day " Behold, midst the storms that late ravaged mankind, And left in their fury such havoc behind ; And many old friends round the board we can trace, And not one among them that wears a new Pre." The day was spent with that cordial gratifiCation which al ways results from the meeting 'of old schoolfellows. Several songs suitable to the recollection of " days gone by," and con sonant to the feelings of Brother Blues, were sung; the custo mary toasts were introduced with appropriate observations, and the highest degree of satisfaction enlightened every counte nance. The dinner was excellent, and consisted of every deli cacy of the season, and the conviviality of the evening was kept up to a late hour. 0 long may such worth this foundation display, As decks with its lustre the feast of this day ! And ne'er may the nurslings of Edward be told. They've forgot blue and yellow when they wear blue and gold ! P 0 E T It Y. THE STAGE COACH. FROM THE LATIN OF VINCENT BOURNE. Having taken my place in the Birmingham Stage, To visit a friend I had promis'd an age, I was rous'd in the morning before it was light, With the prospect of rumbling and tumbling 'till night. On mounting the coach 'twas my luck to be fixt, Two very fat elderly ladies betwixt: On the opposite seats were a brat and his nurse, A serjeant whose joy was to swagger and curse ; And between a la bodkin, big, burly, and staunch, Mine host, that of Falstaff might rival the paunch. We had scarce clear'd the stones, when the road growing hilly, To and fro', like a ship, roll'd the merciless dilly : At this my koo4matrons, who sat at each side; 'Were piovo 'd,'orie to cough, and the other to chide; The soldier to swear, spite of check or rebuke, The landlord to snore, and the baby to -. If such be the charms of a stage, I'll take root ; Or if ever I travel, I'll travel a foot. From the very great satisfaction which the plan adopted in former Lotteries, of advertising a List of Numbers, gave to the Public, and the circumsta►►ce of several of those Numbers selected by Bisu having proved fortunate, lie is again in duced to repeat it in the present most popular Lottery; and hopes, that as all the Capitals are floating, some of the undermentioned may prove Prizes of ; 20,000, or any of the 120 Capitals in the Scheme, the whole of which may be drawn NEXT WEDNESDAY, the 30th inst.-The following Numbers are reserved for such persons as may select them, and may he had in Whole Tickets, Halves, Quarters, Eighths, or Sixteenths, at Bisit's Offices, 4, Cornhill, or 9, Charing-Cross : 4,688 15,323 5,205 15,400 5,•930 17,776 6,717 17,822 6,719 17,824 7,375 17,886 7,488 17,887 7.489 19,265 8,122 19,351 9,130 19,335 10,625 No. 121 10,746 No. 235 10,750 659 11,377 698 11,493 737 11,495 1,434 13,071 1,477 13,099 2,476 13,133 2,479 15,283 2,895 Persons not choosing any of the above, may have a great variety to select from ; or if the adventurers have a fancy for any particular Number, Bisu will, if possible, obtain it for them.

At the above Meeting ten grants of money were made in different sums froni 15/. to 2001. each. ENGLISH THEATRICALS, FROM PARIS.--The Journal des Dibats of Monday states, that on the 16th the widow of the celebrated GARRICK, aged 98, died at London. A few hours before her death she enjoyed the best health, and was preparing to attend the opening of Drury-lane Theatre, the property it which belonged almost totally to herself! ! Madame FODOR, the celebrated singer, made her debut at Naples on the 2Sth ult. in the part of Desdemona,in ROSSINI'S Opera of Otello ; she was received with rapturous applause. She is to receive 900 ducats per month, to be furnished with a carriage, house, and table, and to have a free benefit. .1. JVIII • i'.019 1.. • " I t • •#' 46t: - i ce 40, •• o 4 f,r 4 ' •,.

"A Squadron cf the Royal Dragoons has received orders to march to-morrow from Canterbury Barracks, as follows, viz.— one troop to Deal, and the other troop to Hytbe. They are dirocted subsequently to detach to Dover, Sandgate, Ring wood, Newington, Romney, Walmer, Dimchurch, and Lydd, in aid of the Riding Officers of the Revenue. The 3d Light Dragoons will be inspected by Lord Edward Somerset, at Chichester, on Saturday next, the 26th inst. COMMAND OF THE TROOPS IN IRELAND. Lieutenant-General Lord Comberemere, G.C.8., who has been lately appointed to succeed the late Liutenant-General Sir S. Auchmuty, in the Command of tile Troops in Ireland, does not assume the Command, as Commander-in-Chief of the Troops in that part of the United Kingdom ;—that office being abolished, on the retirement of Sir David Baird, G.C.B. and K.C.—but merely as Lieutenant-General, commanding the Forces. The reduction in the pay being, therefore, very con siderable, the Office of the Commander of the Forces in Ire land can consequently be considered, at the present moment, more as an honorary than an advantageous appointment.

Gentlemen,—ln accepting this splendid Star of a Knight Commander of the Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath, I feel a difficulty in expressing the sense I entertain of this honourable and liberal token of esteem bestowed on me by the Legislative Body of this Colony, where I have had the hap piness to govern for many years, with high gratification to my own feelings, and where I have been blessed with the confidence and support of all ranks of society in it. Gentlemen—My warmest acknowledgments are particularly due to you for this gratifying and munificent Vote of the 4th of December last, and to assure you that this hiahly valued pre sent, worn next to my heart, will ever serve to remind me of the affectionate attachment that devotes me to the interest of St. Vincent. Gentlemen—The very flattering manner which you have adopted in presenting me with this valuable Star, by a Com mittee of the whole House, adds greatly to the value of the gift, and renders me more inadequate to express to you how grateful I am for this particular mark of your attention, and I sincerely hope you will live long to watch over and guard the real interests of this loyal, generous, and valuable Colony.

LivERPOOL, OCT. 22.—Wind W.—The Hero, Hudion,' from New Orleans for this place, was driven on shore the 20t1r. inst. on Forlan Rock, near the Saltees, and it was feared the .•'• • • vessel would go to pieces. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Captain John Paterson was sworn into the coin_ wand of the ship Repulse, consigned to St. Helena, Bencoolen, and China. A vessel, the Honduras Packet, is about to sail with between 60 and 70 settlers for Poyais Land. They are composed of families from Scotland, and who go out under the auspices of Sir G. Macgregor. This will be the first vessel that sails direct for that quarter. The herring fishing is now about over. There has been a considerable falling off in the take of herrings tl i > year. According to the statements of experienced fish-curets, there have not been quite two-thirds of the usual quantity taken on the Caithness coast this season ; owing, it is supposed, to the prevalence of strong easterly winds, when the fish we -e spawning. The fishing season has already failed at Dunbar and the opposite coast. The fishers have also met with littl.t success in the West Highlands. In consequence, hers ings hay: lately risen from 30s. to 325, and 345., and good wcst.c.ountt y herrings are selling readily at 355. and 365. a barrel, wholesale. —( Caledonian illereztry. • During the last week several large shoals of pilchards have made their appearance in St. lye's Bay, but did not approach near enough to the shore for the seaners to inclose them. Great quantities were caught on Tuesday night with the drift nets ; some of the boats had as many as ten thousand each. Amongst them are thousands of mackarel of a small size, but of very fine quality.—(Cornwall Chronicle, Oct. 21.) A Letter from Skye, of date the 12th instant, says,—" We had the finest harvest weather in this island eve remembered. The crop was most abundant, and is now almost secured ; only a few stooks here and there to be seen out. This tract of tine weather was, about a week ago, succeeded by gales of W. and S. W. wind, accompanied by continual rains, and on the opposite mainland hills, showers of snow. Last week, th sloop Hope, of Larne, .'Cambridge, maser, timber laden, from Christian Sound to Culrain, was cast away in the en trance of the Sound of Kyleakin. The crew and cargo are saved. Disastrous accounts are in circulation of losses dur ing the late severe gales, which we fear are not• without foundation, as many of the Baltic traders are about this time returning home. The herrings have entirely deserted. our coast this season ; many vessels fitted out for prosecuting the fishing have returned home, with but a few lasts of her rings and we at present see no prospect of a winter fishing. On Monday night a fine male child, apparent ly not more than six or seven weeks old, was observed by the passengers lying near the iron gates in Connaught-place, Uxbridge-mat:. The deserted infant was dressed in an old lilac bed-gown, and had a cap on its head. It was wrapped in an old piece of flannel. A female of very youthful appearance, was observed, a few minutes before, near the spot, in a stooping position, and no doubt she was the unnatural mother. The child now remains in Paddington workhouse. ANCIENT HELMET AND CREST.—in Nether, bury Church, in this county (Dorset), is an ancient steel helmit, with its crest, which is a falcon. Although many ancient mo numents in this country have the original helmet of the deceased warrior as an appendage; yet this is, we believe, th only in.. stance of the crest surmounting the helmet as when worn by the Knight. The most complete collection of ancient armour ever seen in this country was that exhibited a few years since at the Gothic • Hall, Pall-mall ; but even that collection could not boast of a helmet with its crest remaining. From this it should seem that the helmet in question must be a great curiosity. It appoars to have belonged to the mutilated tomb of a Kniol t in the same Church, though certainly not now in its primitive situation. The account given of it by the parish clerk is too marvellous to be either believed or repeated.--( Dorchester Gazette.) - 4 ,
