MORE PIRACY-BRITISH VESSELS. Extract from the Log-Book of the ship Benson, WILLIAM ROWE, master, from Glasgow, bound to St. Thomas's. " Saturday, August 3, 1822. " At 10 A.M. saw two strange sail to the south-west, steerw towards us : at 11 A.M. made them out to be men of war : at half-past 11 the headmost fired a gun, but shewed no colours that we could discern : at noon hailed us, and ordered us to send a boat on board a him, which was done at his request. He hoisted a blue white and flag.—Sunday, August 4, at one P.M., he sent his boat on board of us, and the boat's crew said it was his orders to take provisions, cordage, and ship's cargo, by force of arms, which they did, viz.—ship's stores, three tierce of beef, three barrels of pork, seven to eight cwt. of cordage, some cabin stores and butter, in kegs marked ship ' Argo. At two, r. at., the boat returned with five boxes of dry goods. Previous to their going away a deal of plunder was made by the boat's crew, of dry goods, stowing them in their shirts ; after being plundered, part of the packages were re turned. He said, when going on board, he would give us an order for payment of the provisions on Porto Rico, or Margoretti. In place of payment he hoisted up his boat and made sail at three, p. en., steering to the southward. At 14, p. en. the pirate still in sight, standing South. The under signed are witnesses of the plunder :—Signed, Thos. Anderson, J.ll. Dewhurst, George Hill, and John Calender, passengers." All the accounts from Ireland continue to re present the state of affairs in that unhappy country as truly deplorabh'and alarming. Out rages, burnings, and assassinations, are the dread ful means employed by the peasantry of the disturbed districts for compelling obedience to their system for regulating rents and tithes, and for determining under what arrangements, and by whom, farms shall be occupied. All the terrors of the law, aided by the presence and the active exertions of a large military and civil force, have failed to put an end to the calamities with which the country is overwhelmed ; and it is too obvious that unless some peaceful means of curing the discontent, and of bettering the con dition of the wretched but criminal people can be devised, Ireland must become either an inve terate and rankling sore in the Constitution of the Empire, or she will be violently and for ever severed from England. In addition also to the distress of the peasantry, to their discontents and their crimes, embarrassment and ruin have over taken all persons connected with the cultivation of the soil, and must finally overwhelm even its ' proprietors. We have now before us a Report o❑ the State of the Agricultural Interest, which represents the crisis as having at length arrived, and the ruin of the farmers to be completed.— The fair of Ballinasloe, at which sheep were sold at from eight to fourteen shillings, is stated to have destroyed the last faint hopes of any change for the better. In the Dublin market, the middle price of wheat is about 16s. a barrel; in the general average of the country it is scarcely 12s. ; and all other articles of agricultural produce are proportionally low. —Under these circumstances, very little, if any of the rental of the country, can be collected in the present season ; and a course of ruin and disorder is about to commence, of which it is im possible to forsee the termination. Religious and political dissension completes the melancholy catalogue of the ills which afflict Ireland ; and have given birth to a serious proposition for re pealing the Act of Union, and re-establishing her independent Parliament. That is a proposition which of course cannot for a moment be enter tained by England, or by the majority of the en lightened portion of the Irish themselves. The British Islands must stand or fall together ; and the remedy for the disorders of one section of the United Kingdom must not be sought for i❑ its separation from the rest, but rather in more closely binding them together by the promotion of their common prosperity and happiness. Lord AMHERST, the newly-elected Governor- General of India, of whose appointment we were the first to apprise the public, was to have been introduced to the Chairman and Court of Di rectors last Wednesday, and to have taken -the oaths. It is possible that this omission may have been occasioned by the absence of Mr. WYNN from town, whose province it is, as a matter of form, to ratify the appointment, by giving to it the sanction of his MAJESEY'S Government, but if the usual ceremonies be not gone through on the next Court day, we shall begin to suspect a hitch in a high quarter. We have heard a whisper on this subject.—(Morning Chronicle.) SIR ROBERT WILSON.--A contemporary com municates the_ following statement, in a letter from Paris, dated Oct. 16 :—" All that I now have to inform you of relates to a countryman of your own. M. BE PEYRONNET, who has acted during some time past for the 'Minister of the In , terior, has given orders to Sir R. WILSON to leave the French capital in 24 hours, and the French ' territory as quickly as he can travel. Sir ROBERT was yesterday called to the Police Office, and informed of this order. He of course could not resist, and did not argue.. He only begged that he might be allowed to remain in Paris till Thursday morning, instead of Wednesday night, as Lady, WILSON was in such a poor state of health, that travelling by night might seriously injure her. The Di rector of the Police could not comply with the request, nor in fact grant any indulgence ; but offered to state the matter to M. de PEYRONNET, and to send Sir ROBERT his answer. Sir ROBERT immediately proceeded to Sir C. STUART, and re quested him to ask the French Government the cause of such an extraordinary measure. He assured the Ambassador upo❑ his honour, that he neither had said or done any thing while in Paris, to warrant what he must call such an insult." A private letter from Boulogne-sur-Mer says, " Mr. BOWRING still continues in close confine ment, quite en secret. No person has been ad mitted to see him since the first day after his arrival—not even Mr. HAMILTON, the Vice- Consul. I have not heard of any thing doing in Paris in consequence of the letters found with him." The SPEAKER has, in Saturday's gazette, given notice that he will order a warrant for a new writ for the County of Sligo, in consequence of the death of the Member, C. O'HARA, Esq., to be issued in fourteen days after the 18th of Oct, the date of his notice. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. The Marquis of Exeter, at Thomas's Hotel, from .New market ; Mrs. Gen.

It is with great pleasure we learn, that the Honourale Spen cer. Stanhope, of Canon Hall, near Leeds, is about to lead to the altar Hiss Coke, the daughter of our much-respected Mem ber.—( Norwich Mercury.) Sir Francis Burdett is returned from his visit to the west of England. On Saturday evening he visited Covent-garden Theatre, accompanied by his friend, Mr. Douglas Kinnaird. Earl Grey and his family are still at Paris. The health of the Countess is considerably improved since she left England. Lord Carnarvon and his (laughter are . now in Italy. His Lordship intends to winter in Rome, which climate has been prescribed by the physicians, as congenial with the health of his daughter now in a delicate state. The Duke of Bedford is so much recovered from his indispo sition as to enable him occasionally to enjoy his usual exercise and pleasure of shooting. There is still a langour remaining however, the effects of his very severe attack which time and very great care can alone remove. Mr. CHARLES FLETCHER, of Stantoh-House, near Burton upon-Trent, Bath added to his name the name ofituwvANT in compliance with the request contained in the Will of his Re lation, FLETCHER BULLIVANT, late of Stanton House afore said, Esquire, deceased. . -.....‘ , . .7 J t. it, •~ i , IN ~,,,,,,, - .. •_ Ile.. , .Z . , Illf ;' , 7, lc ..,.. . : ... __.. ..."9.—..,- ~.e 2O l l t iii o. gil .../ ;"4 - ,.- • "...........7.7.: . , -..: ' ~.,4te:•1;.1% • ~-/ • ~,,,..., +„_. ~,o , , ~.;„..,.• 4 0 4 . ~ ..-4 4 . ; - c„,.._- - •,,‘ io ~,,,,- :,:...:: -- 7 ' 7-` -- ' ` - iil• , f ' ...P ~I, - , i i. . ~,, ). ... ,5, ....... : ~,....., .. , cox ~, , , --, 1 , „,.. . ,5.,...... _ ,),., ~ , .4, ~.t % . , - 1- '''..i.

CHALLENGE TO ALL ENGLAND.—Mr. Lechmere Charl ton, of Ludford Park, Shropshire, has challenged, according to the Racing A r ticl es , all England, with his celebrated horse, Master Henry, for the Gold Whip, which was given by George the Second to the Jockey Club, for the best horse in his domi nions. Pour mile.—Should Mr. Charlton be successful enough to win this splendid trophy, he will be a gainer of a very ton siderable sum of money, as the rule enacts, that he must stake 200 guineas on making the challenge. We understand the whip is at present, and has been for some years, in the pos session of his Majesty. PEDESTRIANISM. Yesterday, James Tenney, the pedestrian, who started from the White Bear, St. John-street, \Vest Smithfield, on Tues day last, at twelve o'clock, for a Wager of one hundred guineas, to walk to York and back (four hundred miles) in five succes sive days, arrived at the above place at thirty-five minutes after eleven yesterday morning, having twenty-live minutes to spare, notwithstanding the weather was so inclement. He is in the fiftieth year of his age. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE. The Ayrshire Subscription Pack of Harriers have commenced this season with their usual good sport. Among other days, that of Saturday se'nnight was particularly excellent. After having two good runs they found a strong hare near Tarbot ton, which, after making a ring, took away straight across the country towards Dundonald Hills, and after a good chase, at great speed, for upwards of 40 minutes, she was killed on the turnpike road, near Symington Tall,' without a check. Some hundred-guinea hunters did not allow their riders the painful pleasure of witnessing the death of poor puss. MEETINGS OF HOUNDS IN THE PRESENT WERE. The Earl of Darlington's:Fox-Hounds, on Thursday, at Hal_- naby North Lodge ; and on Saturday, at Thorp Hall. The Lambton Fox-Hounds, on Tuesday, at Panshaw ; on Thursday, at Brandon ; and on Saturday, at Hawthorn. The Northumberland Fox-Hounds, on Wednesday, at Gos. forth ; and on Friday, at Sheepwash Bridge. Mr. Chaworth's Hounds, on Wednesday, at Rushton Black_ thorn : and on Friday, at Farming Woods. BRIGHTON, OCT. 19.—1 t is stated on good authority that it is the present intention of his MAJESTY to be at the Pavilion this day se'nnight. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE returned to his Pavilion on Tuesday.—(Brighton Herald.) MS MAJESTY, since his residence at the Cot tage at Windsor, enjoys the sports of the field whenever the weather permits. His MAJESTY rides on a strong poney, which enables him to shoot without dismounting. We understand that Earl BATHURST declined the honour intended him, of the presentation of the freedom of the borough of Plymouth, when he found it was not unanitnous.—( Plymouth Paper.) Earl BEAUCHAMP, who has been seriously ill for some time, we are happy to state, is recover ing very fast, and is able to take an airing in his carriage. Earl FITZWILLIA24I, while hunting with his hounds, at Iloober Stand, on Monday last, was violently thrown from his horse, by coming in contact with the bough of a tree. We are happy to learn on inquiry, that his Lordship suffered no material injury from the accident.—(Doncaster Ga;:ette.) The remains of the late Sir EVAN NEPLAN, Bart., formerly Secretary to the Admiralty, and late Governor of Bombay, were deposited, on Wednesday last, in the family vault at Loder, in Dorsetshire. The remains of THOMAS BASS, Esq., Provost- Marshal of the Foot and Life Guards, were buried on Saturday morning,with military honours, in the Savoy church-yard. He was a gentleman highly respected. He died in the 58th year of his age. CORONER'S INQUEST. 4-011 Saturday night, be. tween seven and eight o'clock, an inquisition was taken at th e Essex Serpent, Charles-st r eet, Westminster, before Mr. HIGG s, Coroner, on the body of Henry George, a child about s even years age, who met his death in consequence of his dress having caught fire. Verdict—" Accidenally burnt." POETRY. TO THE EARL. OF LIVERPOOL, ON HIS LATE MARRIAGE. Wzia. hast thou sought, to ease the cares of State, The soothing solace of a nuptial Mate, Yet from those Cares, ah ! be not charm'd aside, But still remain thy Country's Prop and Guide. As BRITAIN'S Guardian, in the Statesman's part, The Patriot fervour glowing at thy heart, Not Britain only, EUROPE hast thou sav'd, By Tyranny's oppressive chain enslav'd. Hence may'st thou gain an Empire of thine own, And gentle cares of a domestic throne ; While, as PRIME MINISTER, thy consort still Yields fond submission to thy sov'reign will ; Or, rather, both in just accordance draw, With equal pow'r, like MARY and NASSAU. May Fortune smile on this united sway, And servant-subjects joyfully obey. May sapient Worthies grace thy future line, Like thee, on Hist'ry's fairest page to shine ; And while the PORT shall stand that bears thy name, Coeval be thy race, with patriot aim, By Britain honour'd, and 141orn'd by Fame. THE THEATRES. DittitY-LANu.—The popular Comedy of The Road to Ruin was represented at this Theatre on Saturday. The changes in the characters were, DOWTON in Old Dornford, vice MUNDEN, who is ill ; DOWTON gave the part with admir able force and feeling ; Mrs. HUGHES, from Exeter, as Sophia, vice Miss KELLY, who, to the regret of the public, has left this Theatre ; Mrs. HUGIIES possesses an interesting person, with easy deportment, and is a very spirited and agreeable Acress : Mr. BARNES, from the Hay market Theatre, gave sufficient strength to Silky, and TERRY'S Sulky was an admirable portrait of churlish benevolence.—ELLlsToN exerted all his spirit in Young Dornford, and powerfully operated on the feelings of the audience.— The Farce was The Agreeable Surprize, and Mrs. TluGurcs confirmed the favourable im pression which her talents had made in the sprightliness of Sophia, and displayed their variety also in the simplicy of Cowslip. HARLEY'S Lingo was very diverting, and Miss CUBITT sung and acted with success in Laura. COVENT-CARDEN.—After the comic sketch of A Day after the Wedding, The Beggar's Opera introduced Miss PATON to this Theatre, on Sa turday, in the part of Polly. We have already paid tribute to her merits in singing and acting in this part, as performed by her at the Haymarket Theatre, and she fully justified all we said, by her performance on this occasion. It was feared that her voice would not be of strength sufficient for this Theatre, but she proved the contrary. — It has been observed that she decorates the simple airs of Polly too much, but the taste of the times requires such embellishments, and she would be thought to "come tardily off" if she were to omit them. Miss HALLANDE was a spirited Lucy, BARTLEY a vigorous Lockit, and BLAN CHARD a humorous Peachum. PEARMAN was well received in Macheath, and MEADOWS suc cessful in Filch.—The Opera was followed by a new grand serious Melo-drama, entitled Ali Pacha. The following is a brief account of the Fable : The city of Yanina has been destroyed by Ali Paella, and its principal inhabitants sacrificed to his relentless cruelty, when he hears that the Ottoman army is approaching. Zenocles, a Suliot chief (Mr. T. P. CooicE), who has escaped from the effects of All's merciless mandate, rouses the remaining few of Yanina to revenge, and gains admission himself,in the disguise of a Turkish ambassador, into the castle, to which Ali has re tired after his bloody expedition. Zenocles has once saved the life of Talathon, chief of the troops of Ali (Mr. ClucestAls), and now stimulates him to throw off his present disgrace ful servitude to the tyrant, and assist the cause of Greece.— They are overheard, and their plot disclosed to her lover Selim (Mr. ABBOTT) by Helena (Miss FooTE). Seuim, the imagined grandson of Ali, informs him of the conspiracy in agitation against him, and Zenocks and Talathan arc con demned to die. All, at the same time, gratifies the malignity of his disposition, by stating that Helena is the sister of Zenocles, and that she has unconsciously been the means of his destruction. At this moment AU receives intelligence that the heads of his two sons are placed upon the gates of Con stantinople ; he sinks down overwhelmed at the dreadful in formation, and the first act concludes in a very interesting manner. Ali discovers in the second act that &lint is a Greek, the son of a Macedonian Chief who fell at Prevesa. lle deter mines to conceal this fact from Selina, whom, with some diffi culty, he at length excites to such a pitch of enthusiasm as to undertake to blow up the citadel, and bury both friend and foe in one common ruin, should his enemies prove victorious. The signal for the commission of the dreadful deed is to be the delivery of a ring. S'elinz first restores Zenocles and Helena to liberty. A meeting takes place among the troops of Ali, and they demand his treasures, that they may be shared in common by . those who have risked their lives to gain them. He gives the ring, which he desires them to present to Mint, whom he tells them, will upon the sight of it, immediately con duct them to his secret hoards. S'elint is on the point of blow ing up the citadel, when he is informed by Hassan (Mr. Fan- LET) a faithful slave, of his birth, which he has discovered through a mistake of Ali. Ali is pursued by the enemy, and flies to the arsenal, accompanied by his faithful black, Mouch - tar (Mr. HORREDOW). To the astonishment of A 5, Selim is not there, and he himself fires the arsenal, and escapes capti vity bydeath. The Greeks are now successful, and the stan dard of liberty flourishes over the ruins of Yanina's citadel. This piece we understand is a free translation of a recent French piece .by Mr. PLANCIIE, the author of some successful pieces brought forward at the English Opera House. Our Readers will perceive that the two Dramatists have not strictly adhered to the facts, as stated in'all the accounts of the circumstances preceding the death of . the execrable monster whose name is given to the* piece, butas those facts have been recorded through so many public channels more accuracy would have prevented the surprize necessary in all dra matic compositions. As the piece stands it pos sesses 'a powerful interest ; the characters are strongly drawn, well varied, and judiciously assigned to the respective performers. The dia logue promotes the action, and is neat and im pressive. The Performers in general supported the piece so .well, that it would require more room than we can spare to do them all jus tice, and selection might appear invidious.— The new Managers have not only so amply but so liberally discharged their duty, in scenery, dresses, decorations, &c. &c., as to entitle them to the warm approbation of the Public, but as the drama, in point of intrinsic interest, theatri. cal merit, grandeur and variety of effect, is so striking, there can be little doubt that its attrac tion will abundantly requite them for their en terprising spirit.

GAMBLING.— It must be gratifying to our Readers that a severe blow has at length been struck against the unlawful gambling-houses which have so long disgraced the metropolis. On Friday night six of the Bow-street officers, under the authority of a warrant, entered the house, No. 16, Bury-street, St. James's, and brought off a roulette table and other implements of gambling, together with the following persons, who were found in the house :—Henry Thompson , Louis Luckeny, J. Bushnall, W. Jones, H. Ogle, J. Smith, J. W neeler, Auguste Williams, W. Batcheller, R. Saunders, H. Williams, Thos. Brown, Jn. Francis, Thos. H. Jones, and Fred. Adam. Sufficient evidence having been produced to fix the charge of nnlawful gaining against Frederick Adam, John Buslmall, Auguste Williams, and Henry Ogle, they wete committed to one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction, and to the discipline of the Tread Mill. The rest of the party, who betrayed great alarm during the examination of the witnesses, were discharged. fly the Marlborough packet, which brought the Mail from Lisbon, came passengers the fol lowing Brazilian Deputies, who had declined to sign !the Portuguese Constitution, viz. :—Senors Aguiar d'Andrade ; Andrade Machado, J ose Barreto d'Almeida Silva Bueno ; Agostinho Gomes; Antonio Fejo ; Lino Continho. The two last are the Deputies from Bahia. The rest were expected to follow them as soon as the for malities of obtaining leave, &c. could be gone through. The provision made for the Officers of his Ma jesty's dock-yard at Portsmouth, who were removed from their situations by the new system introduced for the carrying on the public service therein, has been made known. Mr. Vass, late master house carpenter, after fifty years servitude, is superan nuated upon a pension equivalent to the salary he received whilst holding that situation, subject to the deduction of 5 per cent. to which he would have been liable according to the late Treasury minute, had he continued in that office.—Mr. Saun ders Guyer, late master joiner, Mr. Williams, late master boat. builder, and Mr. Cannaway, late foreman of the caulkers, are superannuated upon 11-12ths of their salary—Mr. Foster, late clerk of the survey, has retired upon one-half of his salary; anti Mr. Grant, late clerk of the rope-yard, upon one-third of his. The quartermen, in number about forty, discharged upon the late reduction, are superannuated upon pensions from 201. to 301. according to their several circumstances and length of servitude. A dispute having arisen between two weavers at a public-house, near Bromley, on Friday night, and the parties having agreed to settle it by fair combat, met in a field, near the River Lea, where they fought, or rather mauled each other for nearly half an hour, when one of them named M`Gan, by a blow on the head, ruptured a blood-vessel, and soon after expired. The other man's name was Burrowes. DARING ROBBZRY. Between 7 and 8 o'clock on Saturday night, a stout man of genteel exterior entered a linen-draper's shop, in St. John's.street, and desired to be shewn some silk handkerchiefs. The lady who was serving in the shop, placed a dozen of different patterns before him on the counter for inspection, all of which he seized and made oil with, and although an immediate alarm was made, he escaped with his booty.
