BIRMINGHAM PITT CLUB. On Wednesday last the Ninth Anniversary of this Club was celebrated by a numerous body of the Members dining at the Royal Hotel, the Hon. HENEAGE LEGGE,M.P. in the Chair.—The Dinner (great part of which consisted of game furnished by the Earls of PLYMOUTH and DARTMOUTH) was served up in Wilday's best style, and every attention was paid to the assembled guests. — After the removal of the cloth, Non Nobis Do mine was given with very fine effect by Mr. HonNE, of the Theatre, and some of the most efficient Members of the Oratorio Choral Society, by whom also some excellent songs and glees were sung during the evening. In proposing " The immortal Memory of the late Right Hon. WILLIAM PITT," the President lamented his inability to do justice to the subject, but stated his satisfaction at there being no necessity for dilating to the gentlemen surrounding him on the transcendant merits of that great character, who was born not merely for the times in which he lived, but whose upright example he hoped would ever be the rule of our lives. If Mr. PITT had not risen to weather the storm which threatened us, conjointly with the other nations, our lot at the present day might have been wofully different to that in which we now Lind ourselves. The circumstances of the times have much changed since his death ; but though they do not now exist, we have still among us a strong spirit of opposition—an opposition to the different establishments in Church and State, which he hoped we might have suf ficient spirit to combat. Attempts were con tinually making to seduce .the weak ; but he trusted that the majority of the people of Eng land know that it is both their duty and interest to oppose those pretences which serve only to destroy the natural spirit of the country. Mr. PITT'i principles tended to the preservation of those blessings we enjoy, and it was our duty to transmit them to our posterity. With these brief observations he should conclude by giving the memory of as disinterested an individual, and as true a patriot, as ever lived. N. G. CLARKE, Esq., in proposing the health of the Vice-President (THEODORE PRICE, Esq.) characterized him as a Gentleman of the soundest loyalty, and the purest principles. In returning thanks, Mr. PRICE said, it was almost unneces sary for him to make any observations after the remarks made by the worthy Chairman. He fully concurred in the eulogy that had been passed upon that great Statesman (Mr. Purr). Had it not been for his principles, his firmness, his integrity, and the determination of Ministers to pursue the same conduct, we should not have been what we now are ; his principles saved not only ourselves, but all other nations. The health of Mr. CLARKE was proposed by CHARLES COPE, Esq., on which that Gentleman observed, that he was not aware of having any particular claim on the Society for such a mark of their remembrance. His heart and soul were, however, in unison with the principles of the Club—his own feelings lead him to - what he con siders his duty. Mr. C. then proceeded to state that the enemy are still on the alert, and it re quired our utmost exertions to counteract their intentions. Their endeavours are directed to the undermining of the Church, knowing that if that fell the other institutions must follow. Every man man should consider his individual exertions necessary—their enemies are not dead ; they are active in sapping the principles of the lower orders. Let every one do his duty, and what ever his exertions may be they will prove of advantage to the Country. The following is a List of the Toasts, as given in the course of the evening : Church and King. The Royal Family. The immortal Memory of the late Right Hon. William Pitt. The Army and Navy. The House of Brunswick, and may they never forget the Principles which seated them on the Throne of these Realms. The Memory of George the Third, the Father of his People. The Protestant Ascendancy. Lord Liverpool and his Majesty's Ministers. May the Principles of Mr. Pitt always animate the Councils of Great Britain. Theflemory of the Right Hon. SpencerPereeval.

The Vice-President.—(Theodore Price, Esq.) Tl►e Wooden Walls of Old England, and the Ilearts of Oak which man them. The Liberty of the Press, without its Liccutiousness. The Earl of Dartmouth.

During the time the Abbey was open, many of the visitors, after satiating their eyes with Fonthill, rode over to Wardour Castle, the seat of Lord Arundel. It is about three miles from Fonthill, and, besides being connected with historical associations, it is a very elegant mansion, and contains a most valuable collection of paintings, many or them by the first masters. A short account of this place may be interesting. WanDoun. CASTLE.—The scat derives its name from a very ancient Castle,. whose ruins, covered with ivy, and situated in the bosom of venerable oaks, form a picturesque object on the verge of the demesne. It has been in the present family upwards of three hundred years, and was the seat of their re sidence until 16-13, when it was attacked by a detachment of the Parliamentary Army. It was then in the possession of Thomas, second Lord Arundel, who was a warm advocate for the cause of Charles the First. Indeed this noble family has been remarkable for its enthusiastic attachment to the Stuart s. —At the time the Castle was attacked, Lord Arundel was with King Charles at Oxford, but the Castle was heroically defended by his wife, Lady Blanche. Assisted, it is said, by only 25 fighting-men, the maid-servants loading their muskets, and doing other services, this chivalrous Lady defended the place during a siege of nine days. From the superiority of force which was brought against her, she at length surrendered.— The Castle was afterwards dismantled by repeated sieges, and so ruined that it was unfit for a residence. The present seat of the family is within about a mile from the old Castle. It was finished in 1776. The present Lord is Everard Arundel, who succeeded his father in 1817. He married Mary, sister to the Duke of Buckingham, in 1311. As yet there is no issue.— The mansion is open almost constantly to visitors, and a servant attends who shows them through the principal floor in different apartments of which the pictures are contained. A head •of St. Bernardin, by Titian, is a masterpiece of that nuter-artist. It seems almost the head of the Saint pre served, so expressiVely and boldly are the features deline ated. A head of the Virgin, by Carlo Dolci, is also very admirable for the pensive benignity and heavenly resigna tion of the countenance. Not far from these there is a por trait of St. Jerome, by' Rubens, which is in the finest style of that master. There are altogether two hundred and fifty pic tures in the collection, chiefly of the masters above-mentioned, Vandyck 7 llolbein, Sir G. Kneller, Raphael, DOmenichino, Te niers,Claude Lorraine, A nnibal Caracci, and Sir Josh. Reynolds, which are undoubted specimens of great variety and beauty . .. — In the bantmeting room of the old Castle there is an interesting series of old - prints, illustrative of the eventful period of Charles the First. On the chimney-piece are several canon-bails that have been found since the siege, with several other curiosities. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING-ROOM, Ocr. 10.—STATE OF THE ODDS.

POETRY. SONNET To the Memory of the late Mrs. Twlss. BY JOHN TAYLOR, ESQ. Lamented FRANCES, of the KEMBLE race, A gifted race, in worth and genius high, With whom thy merits modestly might vie, In ev'ry mental, ev'ry moral, grace ; Full well thy early charMs can mem'ry trace, Yet vivid seen by sorrowing Friendship's eye, Charms that could waken an admiring sigh, For Al IND still beam'd in thy expressive face. And sure a prosp'rous fate attended thee, (Too rare a blessing on connubial ties!) Thy num'rous offspring with delight to see, Led by thy hand, to knowledge, Virtue, rise. Such thy reward on Earth, by lleav'n's decree, Presaging that ordain'd thee in the skies. THE THEATRES. COVENT-GARDEN.—MiSS LACY, from the Dub lin Stage, made her first appearance last night at this Theatre in the character of Belvidera, and we feel no hesitation in saying that in intellectual power she was the best representative of the part since the time of Mrs. SIDDONS. She not only thoroughly entered into the part in general, but gave some incidental touches of judgment and feeling that evinced a real genius for the stage. Her stature is above the middle size ; her face is expressive, but not of the heroic cast; her voice in the upper and middle tones is pleasing, but somewhat harsh in a lower key ; these however may be easily avoided by practice. Her deport ment is easy and obviously directed by feeling. We have never seen a more promising first ap pearance. We shall not enter into an elaborate examination of her performance; it is sufficient to say that she displayed a critical perception of the part, and lost no point that might illustrate the character and awaken sympathy. The oc casional smiles of this lady seemed to shew that she is capable of comic expression, and if this should be•the case she will be a valuable acqui sition to the London Stage. Miss LACY, we understand, is the grand-daughter of Mr. LACY, formerly joint-patentee with the im mortal GAR RICK in Drury Lane Theatre. We have seen Mr. LACY perform Hamlet with so much judgment and feeling that we may fairly infer he has had some hand in directing the talents of his grand-daughter; but the chief of her merits are obviously to be ascribed to her own good sense and natural genius. Miss LACY had every reason to be satisfied with the reception which she experienced from the audience.—Mr. C. KEMBLE gave a new proof of the effect of an independent choice of parts, for his Allier, though always respectable, was a more impressive exhibition of the part than we have ever wit nessed in his efforts before, and it was indeed a masterly performance. Mr. ABBOTT judiciously kept in view the animated Pierre of the elder KEMBLE, which in our opinion was one of the very best performances of that great actor. Mr. ABBOTT was spirited and effective throughout. We should not pass over the Priuli of EGERToN and the Renault of CHAPMAN, both of which were highly creditable to their talents.—We are sorry to find that it is now the practice to let the half-price visitors be admitted before the end of the third act, according the to former usage. This is a very offensive novelty, and we hope that the old practice will be restored, for now the half-price gentry come clattering into the pit, galleries, and even boxes, and, with the open ing of doors, and the falling of benches, interrupt and destroy the most affecting scenes. We therefore enter our resolute protest against this modern and disgusting practice, and trust that it will be laid aside at both Theatres. The following Performers are, it is said, en gaged by Mr. ELLIsTox for the ensuing season at Drury-Lane Theatre : Mr. Kean, Mr. Fitzwilliam, Mrs. Glover, Mr. Young, Mr. Braham, Miss Copeland, Mr. Terry, Mr. Horn, Miss Povey, Mr. Dowton, Mr. Barnard, Miss Cubitt, Mr. Munden, Miss Stephens, Miss Edmiston, Mr. Cooper, Mad. Vestris, Mrs. W. West, Mr. Harley, Mrs. Davison, &c. &c. Mr. Knight, BUENOS Arars.—The last Anniversary of ou r National Independence was celebrated at Bueno s Ayres, by a numerous party of our fellow-citizens residing at that place. The flag of the United States was hoisted o❑ board all our vessels, and that of Buenos Ayres was joined to it in de corating the American Hotel, and the house of our agent Mr. FORBES. An excellent dinner was served up, of whic,h the lion. M. ItrvinAviA, Minister of State at Buenos Ayres, and Dr. MANUEL MOItENS partook along with our citizens. Mr. FORBES presided, supported by Mr. COOPER as Vice President. Over the President was exhibited the Delaration of lndepeudence, with the fac similie signature. ,At the other end of the table was seen a transpa rency representing the Arms of the United States and of Buenos Ayres in two shields blended. An excellent band of music enlivened the scene, and after dinner a number of patriotic toasts were drank, followed by appropriate music and songs. On Friday se'npiglit a deputation of the journeymen weavers of Norwich assembled at the house of JOHN llAavEy, Esq. at Thorpe, for the purpose of presenting to that Gentleman a piece lof plate, which had been purchased by him by a subscription raised entirely amongst the weavers themselves. A very beautiful silver vase, gilt inside, and which holds seven pints, the handles representing vine branches springing from a rich border of vine leaves and bunches of grapes, entwined round two chased medallions, one containing the weaver's arms, the other the following inscription : " Presented, M.DCCC.XXII. to John Harvey, Esq. by the Journeymen Weavers of Norwich, in testimony df the high esteem with which they regard him as a liberal patron and spirited promoter of the manufactures of his native city, and as a small tribute of gratitude for the many acts of kindness he has manifested toward them on various occasions." PIRACY AND PRIVATEERING. BRISTOL, OCT. 9. The Edward Protheroe, Atkinson, from Jamaica to Bristol, was spoken with clear of the Gulf, by the Cecrops, arrived in the Downs. She had been run on shore and plundered, on the lUth of August, under the Saddle Hill near the Havannah, by a small privateer, from which she she finally escaped, by an other vessel heaving in sight, which the privateer gave chase to. CHARLESTON, AUG. 29. The United States' ship John Adams yesterday left her an chorage off this bar, where she arrived the day previous, and proceeded on her voyage. • • The John Adams, we understand, will touch at Porto Rice, for the purpose of protesting against the fitting out in that port of privateers, which capture American vessels under an alleged order of the Spanish Government, blockading the South Ame rican provinces, which blockading decree has never been offi cially communicated to the United States. The Abeona, of New Orleans, arrived at Curagoa on the 12. th of August, prize to the Hercules Spanish brig of war, and was immediately condemned. She had also captured a vessel from New York, and another from Philadelphia. A Spanish brig and a schooner, laden with rum and sugar, from Havannah to Cadiz, arrived off Curagoa on the 11th of August, prizes to the Guyana Libra Columbian schooner. The Fanny, from New York to Curagoa, was taken about the 12th of August in the Mora passage by the Spanish armed brig Polona, and carried into Salinos. NEW YORK, SEPT. 9. FROM CurtAccu.—Captain Bourne, arrived yesterday, re ports that a gentleman from New York arrived at Curagoa on the 22d ult. in a schooner from St. Thomas, bound to La Guayra, which had sprung her foremast, and put in to repair. He informed that they sailed from St. Thomas on the 15th ult. in company with another schooner, under convoy of the United States schooner Grampus. The first night out they fell in with the Spanish privateer brig Pancheta, of Porto Rico. and gave chase to her. In the morning she hoisted English colours, and when the Grampus came up to her, they were hauled down, and Spanish colours hoisted. Lieutenant Gre gory hailed her, at the same time informing them of the na tional character of his vessel, when the Pancheta fired part of a broadside. The Grampus then sheared alongside, and gave her a whole broadside, on which she immediately surrendered. On boarding, she was found to be in a sinking condition, with eleven men killed and wounded. The Parcheta mounted eight 18-pounders, and a brass long torn, with ninety-two men. The Grampus partially repaired her prize, and returned to St. Thomas. SEPTEMBER 10. The following is a more correct account than that published in yesterday's Gazette, of the capture of the Spanish privateer brig Pancheta, alias Palmera, by the United States' schooner Grampus, Lieutenant Commander Gregory, related by a pas senger : . . krona numerous depredations committed on the American commerce, several masters of vessels had lodged complaints with Captain Gregory, in consequence of which, as he was bound to ports on the Main, he gave notice to vessels bound th.at - way, in order that they might avail themselves of the convoy. Accord ingly, two schooners placed themselves under protection of the Grampus, and on the second day after leaving St. Thomas, the Panclieta was discovered to windward, following the con voy, which she continued till next morning, when Captain Gregory gave chase, and on coming up with her, she displayed an Englisk ensign and pendant, and fired a gun, but shortly after hauled down both, and hoisted the Spanish national flag : a white one at the fore, and hove to. When the Grampus came within hailing distance, he requested her flag to be lowered, which was answered by firing part of a broadside. The com pliment was returned by a full broadside, when the Spanish flag was instantly lowered, and the brig surrendered. On taking possession, she was found in a sinking condition, with eleven of her crew killed and wounded. The remainder, who skulked into the hold, were ordered on deck, and transferred to the Grampus. It is a fact worthy of notice, that of the broadside fired, but one round shot missed the bull, and that cut away one of the fore shrouds ; it is equally singular that of the shot which went into the hull, one passed under water through the magazine, and wet nearly all the powder ; another shot passed through the cabin, destroying a number of muskets and pistols, clothing, mattresses, &c. and lodged in the bore of the starboard-pump. Among the plundered articles found on board, were the books and clothing of a Mr. Peabody. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

Owing to the continuance of contrary winds the samples are still prevented from coming in this week, and the price of Wheat remains as on last Alonday's quotation. There is but very little good Barley left for sale, and the price is nearly nominal. Pease and Beans fully maintain last market day's prices. Oats sell well to necessitous buyers, most of the pur chasers are determined to wait till the supplies arrive. SMITHFIELD MARKET, OcT. 11. The market this morning was short of sheep, in consequence of which higher prices were asked for the above article ; -in Oxen the market was well supplied, but most of them lean Cattle ; upon the whole, the trade was dull, and but few buyers. Hhy remains stationary in price. . (To sink the Offal, per stone of Mb.) Beef 2s Od to 3s Od I Veal Mutton 2s 4d to 3s Od Pork 3s Od to 4s Od Lamb Os Od to Os Od. CATTLE AT MARKET.
