BOWRING. " BOITLOGNE-SUR-MER, FRIDAY, OCT. 11, 1822. " In addition to the particulars communicated in my letter of Wednesday concerning my friend Mr. Bowring, I now beg leave to inform you that he has, since his arrival here, gone under two secret examinations before the Procureur du itoi, who positively refused to admit of our Consul or any other per son being present. The questions related chiefly to some French verses found amongst the papers of my friend, When charged with having been the bearer of sealed let ters, which, as t he said, is contrary to the Post-office regula tions in France, the prisoner replied that he supposed the let ters and official dispatch seized were entrusted to him from its being a fact of public and general notoriety throughout Eu rope, that the secret of letters is continually violated in this country. With respect to the contents of those taken from Mr. Bowring, he again solemnly declared his total ignorance of all or any of them, and expressed a wish tha: this his declaration should be received on oath ; it was, however, merely noted in the Proees Verbal. That which relates to the practice of open ing letters at the French Post-office was inadmissible; as, ac cording to M. le Procureur's opinion, it could not operate in favour of the prisoner. After once more protesting against the seizure of a diplomatic dispatch from one Ambassador to another, as a flagrant violation of rights, which have hitherto been respected by the most barbarous nations, the prisoner in sisted upon knowing his crime, and what the act of accusation contained. All he could obtain on this point was, that he is suspected of being the bearer of letters to the Revolutionists in England.' The prison in which my friend is confined, like that of Calais, does not afford the smallest accommodation ; and were it not that he is allowed to hire and occupy the gaoler's room during the day time, he would be forced to mix with the usual inmates of such receptacles. " As yet, there is no answer from Paris, nor can any idea be formed of the determination of this Government. It is said that the prisoner will be detained on various pretence, until some more tangible accusation than the one now alleged is framed ; after which, he will be handed over to the tribunals. Under these circumstances ; and without any hope of future justice, where the past has been marked with so much violence, I need not add that my friend looks forward with confidence to the in terference of his Majesty's 'Ministers and the expression of pub lic opinion, to rescue him from a situation not less injurious to his personal interests, than it is subversive of equity and justice. " I am, Sir, your's very respectfully, " EDWARD BLAQUIERE. " P.S. When conducted to the scene of examination, my friend was escorted through the streets on foot, by a guard of infantry. I had almost forgot to add, that Mr. B. has every reason to be convinced the verses, which have also been made a ground of offence, were left on his table by an agent of the great personage, who caused his movements to be so closely watched while at Paris. Mr. Hamilton, our Consul at this place, has acted with the utmost dignity and spirit on the pre sent occasion. The Hon. C. H. Hutchinson, Member for Cork, is amongst those of his countrymen who have visited the prisoner. " BOULOGNE, OCT. 11, THREE O'CLOCK, P.M. " It now becomes my duty to inform you, that having called to see my friend about an hour ago, I was refused ad. mittance by the keeper of the prison, who told me the prisoner was placed au secret, by order of the Authorities. I need hardly tell you that this implies an interdiction of all commu nication, written or verbal, so that a British subject is thus consigned to a species of solitary confinement, without any other charges than those alluded to in my letter of this morning. " Where such proceedings can be resorted to, it would be impossible to say how much farther violence may be carried ; I therefore trust and hope no effort w'll be left untried to enforce a recognition of the most simple rights of humanity towards Englishmen, whatever the fate of others may be in France. I am, &c. " E. BLAQUIERE." " P.S. Four o'clock.—l have just seen Mr. Hamilton, our Consul, who says he has also applied to 3CC the prisoner, but was refused admittance. By this it would appear the order for exclusion is general." The following is an extract of a letter from another quarter :—.. " BOULOGNE, OCT. 11. " Mr. John Bowring was arrested at Calais, par depeche tele graphique, on Saturday last (sth instant), on suspicion of having charged himself with letters and dispatches for the Revolutionists in England. The papers found amongst his baggage were sealed, and have been sent to Paris for examination. He arrived here yesterday, under an escort of Bens-d'armes, and is now confined In the gaol of this town. He was bearer of dispatches from the Ambassador of Portugal in Paris, to the Ambassador of that country residing in London. Ile has undergone several inter rogations befofe the King's Advocate here, and I under stand he has protested against the legality of his detention in the strongest terms. His case is before the British Am bassador at Paris, and a great deal will depend on his repre sentations to the French Government. I have done every thing in my power with the authorities to soften his situaton which was requisite, and particularly in such a horrid prison as that of Boulogue. Mr. Bowring desired that 1 might be present when he was interrogated, which was refused.— I shall now go and pay a visit to the prisoner before I close my letter. Perhaps I may be able to communicate something new to you. " OCT. 12, TWO O'CLOCK, P.M. " Upon my asking admittance to the prisoner, I received for answer, that he was au secret, and consequently I could not see him. I shall immediately apply to the Procureur du Roi, to know whether it is by his orders that I have been refused." TIIE THEATRE.—The performance at Covent Garden Theatre, last night, was the Opera of Rob Roy, with some variation in the assortment of the characters. As Mr. MACREADY has not yet returned, Rob Roy was assigned to Mr. YATES, who, whatever his merits may be, is cer tainly not entirely qualified for heroic parts, and Rob Roy may he considered as belonging to that description. Mr. YATES, however, made a tole rable stand in it, and in some passages was effective. If the public suffer, in one respect, by the loss of favourite Performers, they gain in some degree by another, since an opening is afforded for a dis play of other talents. Such is the case with FARREN'S Baillie Jarvie, on the secession of LISTON. FARREN brought the character forward with original whim, and rendered it very divert ing. Miss TREE is so interesting an actress, and so charming a singer, that, with all due respect to her fair predecessor, it was impossible that she should not appear highly interesting in the part of Diana Vernon. The Opera was well attended. Extract of a private letter from Aberdeen, dated October 5. " Mr. KEAN being at Edinburgh, was engaged by Mr. Ryder, it is said at 501. per night, for six nights, the last to be his benefit, and to get one half of the receipts. Other reports say he was to get half every night—the prices being raised on his account ro ss. 3s. and 25., instead of 3s. 2s. and Is. the first night the receipts were about 351.; second nearly 401. ; on the third night he was to play King Lear ; so few appeared that Mr. K. refused to play_; the manager, there fore, sent out tickets to the New Inn, Dempster's Hotel, the Booksellers shops, &c., with free admissions to those who pleased to accept of them, and by eight o'clock there was a tolerable appearance in consequence of the quantity of orders issued. Friday was but poorly attended, and the last night, his benefit, there was scarcely 501. in the house. I went on purpose to see him three times ; I think him more chastened, as he does not rant so much as when he appeared here before. I am afraid he is much mortified at his reception here, and I think he will not make his appearance in this city again." The Ipswich bankers are showing great in dustry for the recovery of their notes. They had circulated placards throughout Paris, on the 10th instant, offering a reward of 120,000 francs (5,0001.) for the discovery of the persons con , cerued in the robbery. • FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

POETRY. LINES SUGGESTED ,BY THE PRESENTATION' OF AN ORGAN To the Parish Church of Saint Anne, Kew Green, Surrcy, BY lIIS MAJESTY GEORGE THE FOURTH. Hark ! where through ANNA'S consecrated fane, The pealing Organ breathes its lofty strain ! While tuneful notes their pleasing incense bear, And the loud chorus bursts upon the ear ! Thus, joyful (through our MoNARCH'S gift) we raise To Heaven's Eternal LORD the song of praise ; While grateful all, the Hamlet's circle round, Devoutly welcome the inspiring sound. Hail ! bless'd abode ! the chosen seat of Kings ! To thee, the Muse her willing tribute brings. Sweet Vale ! for groves and fertile plains renowned ! With brighter fame by Royal virtue crowned ! Not Richmond's height's, nor Windsor's loftier tow'rs, Can boast more favour than thy fragrant bow'rs, Where Nature's fairest works with taste unite, To please the mind and captivate the sight. Say, Father Thames (for memory loves to dwell On deeds of virtue), say, fir thou canst tell, How oft the sun-beam of exalted worth, Here, on thy stream resplendent, has shone forth. With holy zeal inspired, Illustrious ANNE, Britannia's Queen, the goodly work began ; On her domain, at her behest uprear'd, In simple taste, the sacred dome appear'd.• And let thy name, 0 FREDERICK !-}t grace my lay ! By ruthless fate, too early snatched away ! And thine, AUGUSTA, virtuous, wise, and great, In Royal dignity, or private state ; Whose pious lessons bade those graces spring, That fill'd the breast of Albion's much-lov'd King. And oh ! how memory loves to trace each scene, The silver current, with it's banks of green, The woody brake, the deep sequestered grove, Where he, the best of Monarchs, wont to rove. Here, where his childhood's early sports began, Here, where he rose from boyhood into man ; Here, where in later years he sought to rest, The cares that weigh'd upon his kingly breast. How brightly then, each princely virtue shone, Reflected by the Consort of his Throne. Here rcar'd by them, amid the bow'rs of Kew, In Virtue's school, their Royal offspring grew. Foster'd by them, here Science fixed her seat, Here, Taste and Genius found a calm retreat ; How oft, how sweetly, did their gracious smile, The care-worn mourner of his woes beguile ; How richly did their bounty lend it's aid, To heal the wounds that poverty had made. 'Twas rare to see, with greatness thus combin'd, The softer virtues that adorn the mind ; "Iwas sweet to know how equally they trod, Like kindred spirits in the House of GOD : 'Tis glorious and consoling to believe How rich the recompence their souls receive; Where, from the blissful mansions that await The righteous Christian in a future state, Their Spirits look with approbation down On their loved Son, THE LORD OF ENGLAND'S CROWN; The great Inheritor of all their Fame, In pious worth, in virtuous acts, the same. Like their's, his dignity with kindness blends; Here too his large munificence extends ; These sacred walls (which CirAnLoTTE'S presents grace, § Which sainted GEORGE endow'd with ampler space) Exulting in his Royal gift, rebound The hallow'd melody that breathes around : That melody his Father lov'd to wake, 11 (0 trebly valued for his honoured sake) Shall oft to mind the fond remembrance bring, Of GOD'S best WO/k, A WISE AND VIRTUOUS KING. Here shall the gift of GEORGE'S Princely hand Of his great Sire a bright memorial stand. Now, consecrated to his praise alone Who makes the highest heaven his glorious Throne. And Oh ! may HE whose bounty plac'd it there, Through circling years, Earth's choicest blessings share ! May Health's best treasure on his head descend, And Peace throughout his reign her power extend ! And when by Time's slow lenient hand opprest His honoured frame shall sink to endless rest ; Then may his spirit mount on Angel's wings, To dwell for ever with the King of Kings ! The Parish Church of Kew was originally built as a Chapel of Ease to Kingston (and consecrated as such, in A.D. 1714), on a piece of ground which was given to the Parish by Queen ANNE, the Lady of the Manor. It was enlarged, on its becoming a Parish Church in 1770, and still further in 1805, by his latc Majesty GEORGE 111. t Their Royal Highnesses FREDERICK and AUGUSTA, Prince and Princess of \VALES, were the first of the Royal Family who resided permanently at Kew ; where their late and present Majesties, GEORGE 111. and IV., together with the whole of their illustrious Families, were educated. The Royal Observatory, in Richmond-gardens, was built by his late MAJESTY; during the earlier part of whose reign, several persons, distinguished for talents and genius, resided at Kew, under the auspices and patronage of their Sovereign. § Many of the ornaments of the Church, as well as the stove, were the gift of her late Majesty, Queen CHARLOTTE. H The Organ presented to the Parish by his MAJEST Y, was built for the New Palace, by order of the late KING, who was often in the habit of playing on it, during Ins visits to Kew. JOE MILLER.—The following is the inscrip• tion upon Joe Miller's tombstone, now standing in the bury• ing-ground, Portugal-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields : Here lie the remains of honest Joe Miller, who was a tender husband, a sincere friend, a facetious companion, and an excellent comedian. He departed this life the 15th day of August, 1738, aged 54 years. If humour, wit, and honesty, could save The hum'rous, witty, honest, from the grave, The grave had not so soon this tenant found, Whom honesty, and wit, and humour crown'd. Could but esteem and love preserve our breath, And guard us longer from the stroke of death, The stroke of death on him had later fell, Whom all mankind esteem'd and lov'd so well ! _ S. DITCX. From respect to social worth, mirthful qualities, and histrionic excellence, commemorated by poetic talent in humble life, the above inscription, which time had nearly obliterated, has been preserved and transferred to this stone, by order of Mr. Jarvis Buck, Churchwarden.

A Regimental Court-martial was held at the Court-house (St. lago de la Vega), for the trial of J. H. Rose, a private of the St. Catheirne's Regiment of Militia, under the following charges. " Ist. For making use of insulting and contemptible lan guage towards Ensign and Acting Adjutant Dare, on Sunday the 2d day of June, by threatening, in a menacing manner, to bring him to an account in respect to his conduct, as such Act-, ing Adjutant, in breach of the Militia Law now in force. " 2d. For having, in the presence of Colonel Jackson, im puted improper motives to the s.-id Adjutant Dare, in causing a warrant to be issued against the said J. 11. Rose, for being absent from a muster of the Regiment. " 3d. For having gone to the house of the said Ensign and Acting Adjutant Dare, on the 3d of July last, under pretence of wanting the orderly book of the Regiment, and whilst reading the same, using menacing and insulting language towards the said Ensign and Acting Adjutant Dare, in respect to his con duct as such Adjutant, and falsely charging him with having wilfully and maliciously omitted to forward to the Colonel an excuse which he, the said J. 11. Rose, had transmitted to the said Ensign and Acting Adjutant Dare, for being absent front a muster of the Regiment. " 4th. For using improper and shameful language in the pre sence of the said Ensign and Acting Adjutant Dare, when attending him on regimental business, in asserting that the said Colonel Jackson had, in reference to a Regimental Order, dated the 29th of August last, stated therein, in respect to the said J. H. Rose, that which was not trite, and also, in refe rence to the said Order, by telling the said Ensign and Acting Adjutant Dare, to inform the said Colonel Jackson, that lie the said J. H. Rose would see him, Colonel Jackson, damned; be. fore he would obey it. " sth. For threatening and insulting behaviour towards the said Ensign and Adjutant Dare, on the morning of the 3d day of June, whilst on duty, in attempting, in the face of the Regi ment, wilfully, violently, and repeatedly, to jostle or unhorse the said Ensign and Acting Adjutant Dare, and for not obey ing the command of the said Ensign and Acting Adjutant Dare to desist therefrom :—All of which are highly subversive of good order and discipline in violation of the Militia Law now in three." Upon the charges being read, Mr. Dare stated to the Presi dent and Members of the Court, that from a sense of what was due, not only to the Regiment in which he had the honour of being an Officer, but to himself individually, and from a con viction in his mind of the gross misconduct of which the pri soner had been guilty, and its tendency, if overlooked, to cause insubordination in a Regiment which had ever maintained its character for good discipline, he had felt it his indispensable duty to bring forward the present charges against the prisoner. The prisoner then addressed the Court in the following terms : " Mr. President, and Members of this Honourable Court— I am extremely sorry for having, in an unguarded moment, overcome by passion, acted rash and inconsistently ; I therefore set up no defence to justify such conduct, and therefore throw myself entirely upon your mercy and clemency." In consequence of this address, no evidence was gone into. The following sentence was afterwards delivered by the . Pre. sident of the Court : Private James H. Rose, the Court having consented to re ceive the document you have offered them, and they having given your acknowledgment of the offence on which you have been charged, every consideration, of course, has had some weight as to the extent of the punishment which they are about to award. It is unnecessary to enlarge on your very serious violation of the martial law, or the discipline which is requi— site to be observed in a well organised corps, the Court trusts you are sufficiently impressed with the necessity of returning to obedience, to command, and attention to your duty ; the Court, therefore, sentences you to pay a fine of 241. and to be and stand committed till the same be paid."
