On the sa rrle day another brig of 10 guns sailed for La °irk.. An American schooner was likewise pre- Pa ring to sail for Vera Cruz, loaded with artillery 4 ° 4 ammunition, and several vessels of war were building for the Insurgents of Mexico. A t Philadelphia, two cruizers were ready S ° Put to sea, commanded by ALMEDIES and ° ny of this city. Here are new data, ' W hich corroborates what we said in a former n umber, when speaking of piracy, respecting the Sh are practised in it against our commerce by the Americans themselves, who at present complain 30 bitterly of it ; and respecting the participation 't the United States, ,hrough the apparent indif ference with which those freebooters with impu tlitY destroy the commerce of all nations, and are se en to arrive in the ports of the Union." NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, DEC. 3. All calculation seems baffled with regard to `" Xeelruen of the Tyne. It was fully expected that the greater 144 of them would have returned to their work this morning. In the m iddl e o f t h e n i g h t h owever , th e ma l con t en t s b e l ow Bridge be s ti rre d th emse lv e s, a nd reached the Keels above 'tidge at a very early hour this morning. The consequence has been, that a total stop was put to all preparations made by the well-disposed Keelmen to return to their avocation. We understand, indeed, that the most riotous disposition was ma itested by those men who went up the water, for the purpose of inti midating their brethren. Provisions, which had been pre- Par ed for the Keelmen on their voyage, had been wantonly de 4treYed, and the men threatened with DEATII, if they dared to navigate any of the Keels belonging to the Coal-Owners. It is IBald that the Magistrate, the Rev. CHARLES THORPE, who euttr,geously went amongst the infuriated assemblage, in order t° i nduce them to keep the peace, was insulted in the most out tagenns manner ; and that he had no other alternative but to read the Riot Act. The Police and Marines, who were on the F iv er, were challenged to come on shore and fight.—ln fact, suc h impudent bullying in the face of authorities, has seldom be en reported to us. A detachment of the 3d Dragoon Guards /t a& sent for to the barracks; and the speedy appearance of t hese brave fellows at the scene of action, soon put to flight the .rioters. BRIGHTON, DEC. 3.—The KING IS in good health and spirits. There has been neither dinner atr evening p ar ty, th e consequence o f invitations, the Palace, yesterday nor to-day. j). l-10 an AMIIERST.—The Honourable Court of ' r ectors of the East India Company gave a e ' Pa ad dinner, yesterday, to this Nobleman, in statio n of his appointment to the important t of Governor General of our Asiatic Pos jsgions. This honorary banquet took place at Me Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, and was s t ? every respect such as it should be on an occa j°4 connected with the interest and honour of e "e British Empire. The spirited and judicious e ° , n doct of Lord AMHERST on the Embassy to th at may be considered as a sure indication character he will maintain the rights and support the ,",aracter of the British Empire with appropriate 'isdo rn and dignity. 8 MASTER or THE ROLLS.--We have the plea sure to contradict the rumour of the death of this l es Pectahle ornament of the law, and to state that, rh iav illg passed a good night, he was this day " I n better. ti ..`l r e understand that a number of vessels in the 41,1erent ports, and particularly in the River, are learly rea d y t o ava il th emse l ves o f th e ear li es t v ti .i t elligence of hostilities, and to sally out, pro ttued with Spanish papers, against the French b l 'aders,—l n consequence o f th e i ncrease d pro ability of war between France and Spain, a ver y a great advance has taken place on the insur :lce of homeward-bound French vessels. Nine ' t ll ineas per cent. was demanded for a ship and 11 , 4r g0 from the Mosambique to Havre, for which Premium asked on Saturday was only six 4 " u ilteas ; an d th e same p ro p or ti on f or th e E a st gad Indies.--(Morning Chronicle.) t , l - _°ItTSMOUTII, DEC. 3.—Active exertions are tn a ; ( ing to man and equip the squadron under Corn ,f°",ore 0 wEN. A great portion of the best seamen done guardships have entered the Gloucester.— JOHN LOVE, Assistant-Sergeon of the Queen 14.4 U rkite, is appointed to the Gloucester ; Mr. R. lot4ftsnALL (2) is appointed to the Queen Char 411$ in the room of Mr. LOVE. The wind having ted to the north, the whole of the outward to"rld, so long detained at Portsmouth, have a .;e down Channel ; the Russian frigate has also ed ; as has his Majesty's ship Forte, Captain • COCHRANE, to Plymouth, to refit. C M onday last being the day appointed, at re \vsbury, for the election of a Member for the t n ntY s to serve in Parliament in the room of I l e late lamented Member, Sir KYNAsToN 4ELL, Bart., Mr. PELnAm was declared o tY elected, there being no opposition. a Saturday last a meeting took place at i tl e teford, consisting of the principal Landowners It t t l h at part of the County, at which Sir WILLIAM do ak , s XYNs, Bart. presided, for the purpose of 1 . 4 g into consideration the propriety of Peti ppartli,ng both Houses of Parliament on the un aralleled distressing, state of the Agricultural si ti e rest, and the alleged causes thereof. A requi- Sh: 4 Was agreed on and forwarded to the High r iff, most respectably and numerously signed, th e sitlestin g him to call a County Meeting for above purpose. THE THEATRES. DRURYJdANE.—This Theatre was again very numerously attended last night, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, in order to wit ness the second competition, if it may be so called, between Mr. KEAN in Jaffier and 111 r. YOUNG in Pierre. They both, as before, brought their whole powers to the field, and were both highly applauded by their respective admirers. —lt seems to be the aim of the diurnal Critics, on this occasion, to assign the lustre of genius to Mr. KEAN, and the palm of judgment to Mr. YOUNG. But surely this is an erroneous estimate. The part of Jaffier requires little more than de jection and melancholy tenderness, with a few bursts of energy, but Pierre altogether demands fire, vigour, subtlety, patriotic spirit, and every quality that can call forth and give scope to genius. Let these popular actors chang e their charac ters, and then the public will have an opportu nity of forming a due comparison of their re spective pretensions, and the Critics of manifest ing properly their judgment and taste. • COVENT-GAILDEN.—The splendid manner in which the new Opera of Maid Marian is brought forward, and the general merit of the acting, has already had due effect upon the public. It was well attended last night. Robin hood and his merry men excited great applause. ,Miss M. TREE warbled with her usual sweetness, and acted with her usual good sense and feeling. Mr. C. KEMBLE again brought forth the sturdy valour and jovial humour of Friar Tuck with so much ability that we are persuaded he would appear to considerable advantage in Falstaff, different as that character may be from all in which he has been hitherto suc cessful. We are sure that he would not fail in a critical knowledge of the part, and the jolly animation of his Friar Tuck holds forth a promise of all requisite humour. We know that Mr. JOHN KEMBLE had studied the part of Faistaff, and had made preparations to perform it, but, with his usual judgment, on reflection, he deter , mined not to put in hazard that high reputation which deservedly stamped him as the best Actor of his day. The Overture to the new Opera was encored again last night, as were several of the airs, and the piece altogether was confirmed in public favour. ROYAL COBOL) RG TIIEATRE.—The New and Splendid Melo-drama, under the title of France, now performing at the above Theatre, attracts a crowded Audience every evening. The interest of the above Piece, combined with the splen dour, scenery, and music, certainly has a power ful effect on the observer ; and the performance Of Mr. HUNTLEY and Mrs. STANLEY do them great credit. The After-piece displays the comic talents of the house, and really passes a dull hour in great merriment. DUBLIN THEATRICALS.—The mirth-inspiring LISTON is now keeping the good folks of Dublin in a roar with his inimitable performances. From his not being quite au fait in the habits of the coun try, a slight accident occurred to a particu•larpoint in his dress on his firstuighti which, when he dis"- covered, covered him with comical confusion.— The expression of his countenance convulsed the audience with laughter. The Young Quaker, Family Jars, Peter Finn, Law of Java, &c. have been got up expressly for him; and supported US he is by WARD, PERCY, FARREN, T. RUSSEL, Miss GRADON, JARMAN, ATKINS, &c. a high treat is afforded to the lovers of dramatic excel lence. WESTMINSTER SCHOOL. The first performance of the play annually re presented by the King's Scholars, in compliance with the statutes by which this ancient seminary is governed, last night took place in the dormi tory. The company which was highly respect able, and included several elegantly dressed fe males, filled every part of the temporary theatre long before the performance commenced. The play selected for the occasion was The Eunuch, of Terence ; and the characters were thus filled : Phtedria - - J. BRAINE Parmeno - - F. F. UNDERWOOD Thais - - G. F. IlloonE Gnatho - - J. T. C. FAWCETT Chcerea - - C. J. SnAw Thraso - - R. EDEN Pythias - . J. M. HEATH Chrenics - - W. J. E. BENNETT Dorias - - M. It. JEFFREYS Dorus - - T. KNIGHT Sanga - - W. SILVER 1 Sophrona - - T. K. HAIL • Laches - . W. L. Bnoww. The exertions of the young men derogated in no degree from the established classical celebrity of Westminster School. The praise demanded by a pure pronunciation, by distinctness of elo cution, and propriety of emphasis, may be con ceded to the whole dramatis personae; but to those whose characters are prominent in the play a farther praise is due—that of having evinced considerable humour or strong passion whenever the scene required the exhibition of either.— Messis. BRAINE, UNDERWOOD, FAWCETT, EDEN, SHAW, MOORE, and HEATH, particularly distin guished themselves. The play went off greatly to the satisfaction of the friends, relatives, and general visiters of the young performers. NATIONAL SOCIETY. Yesterday the General Committee of the Na tiohal Society for the Education of the Poor in the Principles of the Established Church, held their Meeting at St. Martin's Vestry Room.— Present— The Archbishop of Canter- Sir James Langham, Bart. bury.

The Colonel, we hear, intends to give several sumptuous entertain ments to the fashionable world. P 0 ET R Y. IMAGINATION. Her footsteps on the mountains are, Her path is o'er the deep ; And the winds of Heaven, in fiercest jar, But sooth her lids to sleep. She treads the deep, deep Ocean caves, Where never mortal trod ; And she heeds, when pealing thunder raves, The mighty voice of GOD ! Ever, at midnight's hour of dread, She walks the Northern sec ; And the flash on Head's lurid head She hails with fearless glee. Her throne is in the trackless wild; The meteor light her crown ; And she rides the Rainbow cincture mild, A thousand fathoms down. Above the Comet's mystic form, Her eager pinions rise; She frowns in Norway's sheeted storm, And smiles in Eastern skies. —Or e'er the golden Autumn fails She spreads her purple wing, And far in India's sunny vales She seeks another Spring. 'Tis her's in Nature's glass to trace, The all-enkindling Power, A glory in the peopled space ; A beam in every flower;-_ A Glory on the rocky height ; And where the murmurs cease, Deep in the forests aisles of might, The still abode of peace. —She frolics in the summer cloud, When the azure dome is still ; And she bursts the deep eternal shroud, That veils the Alpine hill. Low in the Glacier's cold recess Awakes her thrilling smile ; She scents the flow'ry gales that bless The sweet Arabian isle. Far o'er th' Atlantic surge she hears The stern undying roar; And scarce beneath the olden spheres Her daring course is o er. --Through all the vision'd scenes of old, She strains her magic ken, When Truth and Grace and Valour bold Shone in the ways of men. She bursts the awful confines, free, Where Time and she must sever : And she dreams on Glories that shall be For ever ; and for ever. No mead hand—no Power of Earth— Alone the spell hath given ; She claims her first, her purest, birth, And soars away to Heaven ! J. D.

It was a neck-or-nothing chace of an hour and twenty minutes, every horse at the very top of his speed, and yet was incapable of keeping up with the dogs ; many in the end were nearly dropping with fatigue. The cause of their severity of action, at length paid the forfeit of being overtaken with his life—to the surpise of the sportsmen, it turn ed out to be a soared dog, which had fled to avoid the pack, a species of mixed breed between a spaniel and a terrier, and which was literally torn to pieces ere the huntsman or any in dividual of the field could get up. PEDEsTRIANISM.—MiIIer, who has undertaken to go 54 miles a-day, on the main Romford road, in 14 hours, for four successive days, last night accomplished his third day's task, and arrived at the Pigeons, Stratford, forty minutes within the given time. He is now on his last day, and it seems very pro bable that he will win his wager, having come in much better in regard to his swollen legs than he did on Tuesday night. To-night he finishes his task at the Crown and Barley-mow, Gray's-inn-lane. Fox HUNTING IN PERFECTION.--Mr. Hill's hounds af forded an excellent day's sport on Monday last to a well-attended field. The hounds threw off at IVassand, and found imme diately. The first fox was headed, and went into cover ; the second broke cover in a gallant style, made for Hatfield, then Westerby's Winn, past Trendon Hill, then for Catwick ; thence to Sigilstone, past Catloss to Nunkeeling Whin, which he skirted, immediately to Binning's Hill ; thence to Dringho, through to Bributts, and was killed on the Sand Hills, before he could cross the Bamiston Drain—luckily for the horses, for they all had enough of it. The worthy owner of the hounds was up, and declared " it was the proudest day of his life !" (it was the finest day.) Among the many good horses that were out, Mr. Hill's bay horse, rode by the whipper-in, and Mr. Legard's Grey Peter, were the most distinguished. CUTIIBERT ELLISON, Esq., of Hebburn Hall, M.P. for Newcastle-upon-Tyne, at his rent-day, on Monday se'nnight, generously returned to all his numerous tenantry BO per cent., and in some instances more. The Cheviot-hills, in Northumberland, have been covered with snow for some days past, and a considerable quantity fell on Monday last at Felton. A female did penance in the usual manner, in Stepney Church, on Sunday last, for defaming a neighbour's character. THE LONDON WORKHOUSE. A Meeting of the Churchwardens and other inhabitants of several of the London parishes, was yesterday held at Bow-church, for the purpose of considering what steps should be taken in consequence of an application to the Court of Common Council for the sum of 2,4431. 10s. in further sup port of the London Workhouse. A long discussion took place upon the subject, in the course of which several Gentlemen expressed it as their opinion that the Institution had failed to accomplish the objects for which it was originally esta blished, and was at present little else than a useless and ex pensive incumbrance upon the city. It was debated for some time whether or not the meeting ought to present a petition to the Court of Common Council, praying that it would take some steps either to have the original objects of the Institution car ried into effect, or to have it aboliihed altogether; but it was at length resolved, that for the present the meeting should only express their opinion of the inefficiency of the institution, and adjourn to Thursday next at eleven o'clock, for the pur pose of allowing the several churchwardens an opportunity of communicating this opinion to their respective parishes, and of taking their instructions upon the subject, which they are to report to the general meeting on Thursday. The resolutions were ordered to be printed in the Morning Journals ; a Com mittee was appointed to carry them into effect; thanks were voted to Mr. flick, churchwarden of St. Mary-le-Bow, for his conduct in the chair ; and the meeting adjourned. PUBLIC SUB-WAYS. Yesterday a Second Meeting was held at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of entering into the preliminary arrangements respecting the establishment of a Public Company to construct Sub-ways to obviate the recur rence of those constant repairs on the surface of the pavement by the Proprietors of the Water and Gas Companies in the progress of their works. The Meetinr , was but thinly attended, and the business was entirely confined to the consideration of the appointment of a Committee to consider the whole plan and report thereon to a future meeting. Mr. 'WILLIAMS, who is the patentee of the new project, was called to the Chair. Mr. BARBEIt then read from the specification in the patent, the following proposition of Mr. Williams, explanatory of his intentions : " To effect the object, I construct Sub-ways and Passages ; they may be of various descriptions as to capacity, form, situa tion, and materials. In constructing these sub-ways, I pro pose to open the ground to the required depth, say of ten feet ; lay a course of bricks, stones. or iron, nearly level, or rather curved on the ground, live feet wide. with drains to go into the sewers ; raise a wall on each side five feet high, and arch it over, so as to leave the height, in the centre of it, seven and a half feet clear; leave openings of nine inches in each upright wall, at the distance of every twenty feet, three feet from the base, from these openin , rs carry tunnels to the sides of the street, and at the end of the tunnels, fix gratings or doors, to be opened from the inside; leave similar openings in the top of the arch, at the distance of every hundred feet, for the admis sion of light and air ; and doorways five feet high, and three feet wide, in each side wall where these openings are made. These sub-ways may be entered at the sides by doors and passages wherever required, from the houses anti buildings in the streets and roads, in the same manner as into cellars that arc under the streets ; and the main pipes for every purpose may be placed therein, on iron cradles or otherwise, anti the service pipes for the supply of the public through the tunnels or openings in the side walls. These sub-ways may also be formed double, or another parallel to the first---one for water and the other for gas-pipes, and in any number that may be required, within or without doors, communicating into each oreither pf the other sub ways. From these sub-ways and passages access may be had into the sewers and drains, or springs and wells of water, anti for almost every purpose for which the pavement and carriage paths in streets, roads, and public ways have hitherto been opened, &c. Mr. WI itIAMS made a few observations which had reference to objections started at the former meeting, and suggested the appointment of a Committee as the best course now to be taken. Mr. S. DIXON remarked that many difficulties to such an undertaking were apparent : in the first place, the work could not be carried on without the concurrence of the present exist ing public water and other companies; and in the next place, in those parts of the city which were excavated for valuable storage, great difficulties would arise. Many gentlemen observed that the undertaking appeared to them absolutely impracticable, and that at all events some pro bable estimate of the expense and of the sources of revenue to in demnify the share-holders ultimately, ought to precede the ap pointment of a Committee. Some objections were also started from the escape of gas in the proposed sub-ways, and also re specting the lateral communications to service-pipes. Baron de BErtENGE It suggested the propriety of putting scientific men of high influence upon the Committee; and Mr. Sam 11EL DIXON said that it ought also, if possible, to include men of great commercial influence in the city. A Committee was ultimately appointed to consider of the plan and probable expense. The intention of the patentee is to apply to Parliament for a bill to establish a company of share-holders to undertake the work. A Gentleman said, that in Rome these sub-ways were com mon to convey the water tubes to the public fountains; but there was no modern instance of their erection. Tile Committee are to report to a future meeting. Extract of a letter dated Valparaiso, August 7 :—" Our Naval Commanders seem to be sent' here only to make money, and it must be ad mitted they attend to their business : the Ameri can Commodore also attends to his, which he seems to think is to protect American trade. He has declared that he considers the blockade of the coast, as decreed by the Government of Lima, to be informal and illegal ; and that he will pro tect American ships in their intercourse with the coast, nor suffer any to be seized if he can pre vent it. The consequence of this declaration is, that British merchants are shipping their pro perty to the coast in American vessels, and seeking the protection under the flag of the United States which their own does not afford. An effectual interference on the part of the British Commanders was made in the instance of one vessel seized at Lima—she was released, and a large amount of money being on boatd was trans-shipped to a vessel of war ; being again seized, we do not hear any further trouble was taken about her." The outside, facing , St. Martin's-lane, •of that ancient building, called Northumberland house, is just completed. In many instances the stone was in so dilapidated' a state, that the workmen were obliged to remove it and replace new in its stead. The interior is likewise nearly finished. There is every reason to expect, that in the spring the residence will be in a fit state for the recep tion of the Duke and his family. The decora tions of the rooms are of the most splendid character. The tapestry is of a most expensive nature, and with the exception of the staircase at Chesterfield House, there are very few to equal what may be seen at Northumberland House.— The new carriage entrance from Scotland-yard will not be completed for some time, in conse quence of the public house called the Sun being in its way, and the terms for the purchase not being agreed upon. A trunk, a dead goat, and several painted boards, supposed to be part of a vessel's cabin or binnacle, were on Wednesday night cast on shore on the Burrow of Ballyteigne. The trunk con tained some articles of female wearing apparel, and a few books, in one of which was a receipt in the following words :—" Received from Mrs. Dobell 65 dollars, for rent of her lodgings, to March instant." It is dated at Boston, March, 182, and signed " Wm. Little."—(Wexford Herald.) THE ARMY. The depots of the 30th and 41st Regiments of Foot are ordered from Albany Barracks, for the purpose of reinforcing the provisional battalion at Portsmouth. Lieut.-General Lord COMBERMERE has been pleased to ap prove of the Head-quarters of the General Officer commanding the Ulstor District being removed from Armagh to Belfast until further orders.

Young Dasher, Smith, from Carthagena; hands us confirmation of the capture of the Mandeville, after an action of three hours, when she was obliged to surrender by the superiority of the enemy, viz. a brig and a schooner, the same vessels which captured the Swift some time ago, anSfitted out of Cuba. They had previously captured the schooner Creole, Johnson, also belonging to this port. SEPT. 25.—The schooner, Mandeville, Shepherd, which we mentioned to have been captured by two privateers, 'after an action of three hours, had two men killed and four wounded. One of her antagonists was severely cut up, and a number of the crew killed and wounded. Among the killed was a Lieutenant. SEPT. N.—Capt. Shepherd was much ill-treated by the crews of the privateers which captured the Mandeville, and has been put in confinement. The attack upon that vessel took place about seven o'clock in the evening, off Monkey Island, by the Spanish privateer schooners Panamena and Moscow, and an English sloop called the Creole, which had been antecedently captured and armed with two guns. Only about 501bs. of shell were on board the Mandeville, her goods having profionsly been landed. The French brig Charles William, from Havre, witlf dry goods, &c. valued at near 200,000 dollars, was lately robbed. of the principal part of her cargo oil Sugar Key, by three pira tical cruizers. _ _ ----- PORT ROYAL, OCT. 21.—(Private Letter.)—The piracies off these ports are now decreasing, but several Colouibian cruizers have been in our neighbourhood on the look-Out for Spanish vessels. It was a common practice here to shi in Spanish bottoms our ventures, but this is now nearly done away with, on account of the great danger risked by such a conveyance. The old Bahama Channel and the Florida Gulf, however, continue infested by several piratical vessels, who much impede the navigation to and from Havannah. GRAND CANAL IN IRELAND.—We have much satisfaction in being enabled to state, from good authority, a fresh instance of the LORD LIEU TENANT'S earnest desire to promote the prosperity of this country. Government have, by a grant to the Grand Canal Company, enabled them to carry on the line of Canal from Shannon Harbour to 13allinasloe. The advantages of this to the Province of Connaught and Dublin, will be in calculable.—( Freeman's Jaurnal.) EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, DUBLIN.--STERNE AND GUTH RIE.—This case, which has been so long under discussion, and excited so much public notice, received its final adju dication in this country on Saturday. The Lord Chief Jus tice, with much ability and conciseness, considering ,the nature of the case, delivered the judgment of the Court. He stated, that upon the point of jurisdiction Mr. Justice Fletcher and Mr. Justice Moore differed from the other Judges; and that Mr. Baron Smith felt much difficulty, and leaned to their opinion of a want of jurisdiction in the Nisi Prius Court, but surrendered his doubts to the impression of the majority of the Court. His Lordship also stated, that on the subject of amend ment also, Mr. Baron Smith had doubts (in which, as we under stood, Judges Fletcher and Moore concurred), and would not consent to the amendment, if the record must from thenceforth re main unalterable ; as this would be to withdraw from the House of Lords the entire question which the parties raised, and conceal the grounds on which they had agreed to put it : but he and the other two Learned Judges yielded to the opinion and suggestion of the majority of the Court, that this consequence would not arise; for that, on authority, the whole would be before the Lords ; and that it would be open to them again to alter the record ; and restore it, if they thought fit, to the situation in which it stood before the amendment made by the Court of Exchequer Chamber.—(Fr'entan's Jour.) An INQUEST was held last evening at the Brom ley Arms, Cleveland-street, before Thomas Stir- Esq.on the body of Ann Nell. Joseph Nell, of 15, Upper Cleveland-street, is son to the de ceased, and lived with her ; she had been poorly for several days, and died on Friday morning between seven and eight o'clock. On Thursday evening she took some gruel for supper but was not ill. enough to require medicine ; during the Thurs day night she slept well. About eight o'clock on Friday morning, witness went to the bed-side and asked her if she would take any breakfast, but she did not seem awake, and made no- an swer; witness in consequence perceived her dying, and in a short time life was extinct ; she was 74 years of age. Edward Rogers stated, that he lived in the same house with the deceased and the last witness. He corroborated the last Witness's statement. The Jury took a view of the body, after which they returned a verdict—" That the deceased died by the visitation of God." A melancholy accident took place at Paisley on Tuesday last, the 26th ult. A flesher cutting out a beef ham, his son, a boy of nine years of age, standing by, when paring the meat from the thigh bone, the knife slid off and entered the boy's breast, of which wound he died the same evening.—(Glasgow Courier.)
