AT a MEETING of SHIP-OWNERS, held this day, specially convened by Public Advertisement, to take into consideration, whether any, and what, steps should be adopted, to avert the RUINOUS CONSEQUENCES with which the SHIPPING INTERESTS are threatened, by the recent RESOLUTION of the PLANTERS of .JAMAICA, to reduce the RATE of FREIGHT on SUGAR to ss. per cwt, ' J. W, BUCKLE, in the Chair. Resolved unanimoudy, I'hat this Meeting have- learned ; with feelingt of the utmost concern, that the Planters of Ja. maica havti route to the Resolution of Reducing the'Rates o Freight upon Sugar from 6s. to 53. per cwt., and on other Ar. titles in proportion. Resolves!. unanimously, That this Meeting cannot hnt con sider the proceeding of the Planters, in forming such deter mination before the vessels had arrived in Jamaica, as an act of extreme hardship on the Owners, inasmuch as they have not been afforded the customary opportunity of offering, through the medium of their Representatives, the Masters of the Ships, such arguments as, by proving the imposSiblity of ships being navigated on the terms 'proposed, might have induced a different determination. Resolved unanimously, That a remonstrance, addressed to the Planters in Jamaica, be prepared and signed by the Ship- Owners of London, for the consideration and approval of the Planters and Merchants resident in this city, for the purpose of being sent out to Jamaica, earnestly requesting them to re consider their Resolution of reducing the Freights in the man ner mentioned; and the impossibility that. the Owners of .Ships, properly fitted, should be able to pay their expenses thereout. Resolved unanimously, That the Chairman of the %Vest In dia Planters he requested to call a Me, ting of the Planters of Jamaica residing in and about London, for the purpose of inspecting the accounts of a certain number of the Vessels that sail first frpw. London, and an -equal number of the later Ships, in order that the said Plnters may be able to deter mine the Rates of Freight which it is reasonable for the Ship- Owners to charge, considering the capitals they employ, and the risk and responsibility they undertake. Resolved unanimously, That it being desirable that in fu ture years a Meeting of the Planters, Ship-Owners, and Mer chants, should he held in London, for the purpose of arrang ing what shall be the Rates-of Freight for the ensuing sea son, the Planters residing in Jamaica be requested to autho rize a regulation to that effect. Resolved unanimously, That these Resolutions be inserted in the public papers, and a copy thereof sent to the Chairman of the Jamaica Planters and -the West India Merchants, and to George Hibbert, Esq. the Agent for Jamaica, with a re quest that he will transmit the same to that Island, for the purpose of insertion in the Kingston Royal Gazette, for the general information of the Planters. J. W. BUCKLE• Mr. Buckle having left the Chair, it was Resolved Unani mouslyt That the best Thanks of the Meeting be given to him for his able and impartial conduct therein. S. COCK, Sec. PUPIL.

ARESPECTFUL Appeal is made by a So ciety of Gentlemen to the Amateurs of the Science of Music, and to the British Public in general, on behalf of the WIDOW and TEN CHILDREN of the above celebrated COMPOSER, whose death has lift them in a state of entire Destitution, The circumstance of the Amateurs of the City of Ham burgh having given a Concert for the Benefit of this unhappy Family; has suggested an idea of a similar nature to several Amateurs in London; this has been communicated to some of the first Professors, who, with the greatest kindness and zeal, have offered their aid in promoting the object in view. Should the feelings of a generous Public coincide with the endeavours of those who have undertaken the Management of this affair, a BENEFIT CONCERT, at the ARGYLL ROOMS, will be ventured uponori MONDAY, Feb.

[FROM TIIE KENTISH GAZETTE.] • GENTLEMEN—I have heard and read a great manyopinions about Agricultural Distress, but I can scarcely find two persons who agree in their opinion as to the cause of the distress. Pe titions are to be presented to Parliament, and almost every one differs in its language. Now what has Parliament to do, they cannot please us all—we all know we are in great distress, and the Poor Rates are very high ; but what occasions them ? why, one man holding so many farms. In my small parish there for merly were ten or twelve small farms, where a man could keep a cow or two, and upon which he could bring up his family, if not in affluence, certainly in comfort, with but little extra la - bour, and all regulaly attended their Church, consequently their children turned out much better servants than we can get now; but these small f a rms are a ll b ecome ext i nct,; for one man holds five or' six farms now, and does not employ more la bourers than were formerly required for two or three farms only. Now ifthe landlords were to divide their farms, and let them at a fair.rent, and the farmers to put down their thrashin g ma chines, we . should not hear of h a lf this distress". ' if a small farm were to be disposed of to-m orrow , it world be let most likely to the greatest landholder. in the parish • and even if there were one acre only belonging t o th e parish, that would be let in the same way rather than employ the poor upon it. Instead of which, in many parishes, the labourers are paid in money and run about and do nothing; this. I know to be true, and yet we complain of Ministers 'and bad management, we can see other people's fat}lts but cannot sec our Own ; it .is easter-to govern than to.be governed • first let us cast oi l t t h e mote t h at is in our own eye, then we shall' see clearly the beam that is in our bro ther's eye. EAST KENT. • LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INTELIGENCE. [FROM VARIOUS SOURCES.] (NO. XXXI.) HyDROGAFIIY.—Captain Gautier, a French Officer,hascompleted his Hydrographical labours. His chart of the Mediterranean has already been published by the French Minister of the Marine, and the chart of the Black Sea is nearly ready for publication. This Officer was assisted in his labours by the officers of the Chevreite; and they completed, after long labour, the coasts of the Mediterranean and the isles of the A rchipe lago and the Black Sea, all points of which, es;• sential to be laid down, have been exactly deter mined. A number of errors have been disco vered in existing charts, some of them of great magnitude. The Summits of many of the G re cian'mountains were also taken by barometrical measurement. Thus MoUnt, Atb,os was found to be 2,063 metres in height ; Mount Olympus in Mitylene 988 ; Mount Delphi in Scopolos 690 ; Mount Jupiter in Naxia 1,009, &c. &c. Russta.—Mittau, the capital of the province of Courland, is distinguishing itself by the pro- grass it is making both in Literature and the Arts. There are there, now several important private collections of paintings ; and the Lite rary Society and Museum, established about four years ago, are at present in a very flourish ing condition. The members of the. former have produced several interesting scientific papers ; while the latter nos] contains a valuable collec tion of curiosities in natural history, antiquities, paintings, &c. Much too has of late been done, and is now doing, for the general embellishment F of the city ; the Emperor Alexander has as signed the sum of 80,000 roubles to be expended . on the market, where all the old and mean shops which choked up and disfigured the area are pulled down, and a large basin is constructed in the centre, into which a subterraneous canal dis charges itself. In consequence of a regulation, which in England would be considered some what arbitrary, aitho' it prudently restrains the bad taste of individuals, the facade of every new building throughout the province must be erected according to design, which the proprietor is per mitted to select from an extensive collection, de posited for that purpose with the Magistrates of each place. Owing to this, Mittau now exhibits a variety of elegant buildings, which have been erected within the last three years : some of these have the appearance of palaces. Indeed, this city promises to become one of the finest in the North of Europe. In other parts of the pro vince, also, many very fine palaces and seats, be longing to the nobility, have been erected. ANCIENT STATUES.—The workmen, who be gan last August to build a private house on the site of the library of Zaluski at Warsaw, have found, on removing some ancient foundations at the depth of about six feet, a stone pavement in perfect preservation, and a floor of bricks in compartments. But a more remarkable disco very is that of about forty busts of stone of seve ral Dukes and Kings of Poland, and also of Dukes of Lithuania. Some of them are in very good preservation, except the nose, which is wanting in all. One of these busts, if 'we may judge by the costume and order of 'the Golden Fleece, must represent Sigismund 111., who lived in 1632. Besides many architectural orna ments of very good workmanship, there have been found about fifteen Colossal Statues repre senting mythological personages, some of which are not, at all damaged. It is probable that more remains of this kind will be found. It has not yet been discovered to what edifice these works of art belonged. The family of Dani lowiez had a palace in this street. We cannot imagine how it could happen that when the library was built they did not discover and make use of the Statues. It is very evident that this spot was in former ages the theatre of grandeur and' magnificence, of which these faint vestiges preserve but a mournful recollection. THE DYING GLADIATOR.—N O doubts were entertained as to the character of the statue thus designated, until the time of Winckelmann, who rejected that appellation as erroneous, although without bestowing on it any other. Nibliv, the Roman antiquary, and translator of Pausanius, has published an Essay, in which he attempts to prove from a passage in the 10th Book of Pan sanius, that this celebrated figure, which corres ponds neither with any other representations ofl gladiators, nor with the descriptions of Juvenal l and Livy, originally belonged to the Temple of Apollo, at Delphos, where it formed a part of the sculpture decorating the tympanum of the pediment, being placed in one of the angles. And from the torgues, or chain of gold, hitherto mistaken for a rope, the horn, the form of the shield, the fashion of the hair, &c. (all which circumstances he elucidates by numerous passages from ancient authors), he conjectures that it represents one of the Gauls who were slain in their attack upon the Temple. This statue is at present in the Capitol, where it was placed in 1815, on being restored from Paris ; it is of a very fine grained marble, dissimilar from that of any other new antiques, yet most resembling that of the La ocoon. It belongs to the best era of Grecian sculpture, and expresses, with wonderful skill and beauty, the agonies of death suppressed by a determined effort not to manifest them. M ANSI ON-HousE.—The charge of Wadding ton against a Bow-street officer, noticed in our Paper of Thursday, was further investigated yesterday, \Oren it appeared that the officer only acted in conformity with an Act of Parliament, by seizing printed papers exposed to public view, without the Printer's name. The complaint was dismissed. TILE LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS. February 9, 1822. [MORNING CIIRONICLI.] We learn from good authority that there is no foundation for the hgpes which have been held out of a disposition to peace in the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. Nothing whatever is known re specting the sentiments of that Court. It is true strong remonstrances have been made by England and Austria ; and these two countries may conceive that they have intimidated Russia into an acquiescence with their demands. When the proper time for action comes, Russia may not improbably undeceive them in this respect. The Porte has Only shewn a willingness to agree in part to the demands in the Russian Ultimatunt. The House of Commons was again occupied last night with the Irish measures. Lord Lon donderry, from a consciousness, no doubt, of the good for which Ireland is indebted to him and his Colleagues, and of their perfect innocency with respect to the proceedings there, has been more than ordinarily jocose, during the two nights of this discussion, which has even stimu lated him to what his friends deem very felici tous sallies. It is a great subject of triumph with his Lordship, that " the present rebellion in Ireland contains none of those theoretical principles of rebellion that at present pervade the world,"—that is, that the people of the South of Ireland are so sunk in ignorance, that, though goaded on to insurrection by intolerable sufferings, they have not a thought beyond these sufferings themselves, and are incapable of form ing a wish which has for object to effect a re moval of the causes of their misery. A pretty subject of triumph this indeed ! But here we have the true spirit of the Holy Alliance! Though that state of approximation to the condition of the 'beasts of the field, in which they wish to place mankind, is necessarily productive of crimes and vices of the worst and most disgust ing description, they hail that state, accompanied as it is with these evils, because they think they will be thereby allowed to enjoy their bad pre-emi nence. The Neapolitan Revolutionists exerted themselves to elevate the tone of national morals, and to introdute a purer religion, and crimes of all sorts had greatly diminished during the period of their power; but national improvement did not suit the views of the Holy Alliance ; and arbi trary power, assassination and robbery were re stored in all their vigour, and the miracles of St. Januarius were substituted for lessons of useful knowledge. The Emperor of Austria is no doubt proud of the gross ignorance of the mass of his subjects ; and the Emperor of Russia that he rules over a people still more grossly ignorant, though demoralised to a degree of which an in habitant of civilized Europe can hardly form a conception. The absence of theories, of a dis position to criticise the conduct of those who go vern, is . a good which they think can never be purchased at too high a price.—(/bid.) [NEW TIMES.) We rejoice to announce the complete and de cisive triumph of Constitutional Royalism in France.—Our Express yesterday brought us ad vices from Paris, dated on Wednesday Evening, at eight o'clock. At about six o'clock on that day, the Chamber divided on the Law of the Press, when there appeared— For Ministers - 234 Against them - 93 Majority - - -141 Upon this division all Comment is superfluous.— It remains, however, to be stated, that 35 indi viduals chose to express their disapprobation of the law by not voting at all. The idle preten sion of these people to decline voting, as if their doing so' or not were of the slightest consequence, is perfectly absurd. 'We are glad, however, to be enabled to publish their names -; for it must be a satisfaction to France and to Europe in general to know what is the character of the Opposition to the present Ministers ; and we have reason to believe that no persons are more desirous that this should be known than the Ministers them selves. [Tilt; TIMES.] Lord Folkestone, last night, somewhat rudely broke through the conventional language in which Lord Wellesley has been recently spoken of by Ministers and Opposition. We suspect the at tack gave no pain to either party. Lord Lon donderry could not have liked to hear the ro, mantic praises of one who had expressed no very high idea of his Lordship's ministerial powers.— The Opposition, whatever " lip-service " they might render, could not, in their hearts, like one who may be said to have deserted them. So Lord Folkestone put both sides on a right honest footing : there twill probably be no more co quetting and insincerity between them on this subject. We understand that Mr.llarriilton sets sail for Naples about the middle of next week, on board the Euryalus, Captain Clifford. It is unneces sary to speak of a gentleman who has already ohtained so much distinction in the literary world ; but we believe-Mr. Hamilton to be no less competent by his political knowledge and habits of business to conduct the•affAirs of an embassy which may soo n b e c ome very critical. than he is calculated by his taste, talents, and the pursuits of his leisure hours, to gain the esteem of the more intelligent and cultivated part of that community among which he is going to reside.—(/bid.) [3IOIINING HERALD..I It appears from the Paris Papers, received yesterday, that the Censorship had expired on the night of Monday last. The Journals fest scarcely any signs of . their emancipation-- . ... if we except the Constitutionnel (the organ of.the Liberals), which has put forth its confession of faith, political and literary, with frankness 'and' mode ration. .It is well known, however, that formulas of faith admit a wide license of practise and interpretation. The literary part of - the confession is in the edifying manner of Lord Byron's poetical decalogue in Don Juan, upon some remarkable living poets ;—fir instance, the Constitutionnql professes and enjoins the worship , of Fenelon in preference to La 'Vienna's (one • of the missionary priests), the sacred Odes of Jean-Baptiste-Rousseau to the Parliamentary Canticles of M: de Marcellus (an Ultra Def puty), the prose of Jean' Jacques to that of Monsieur de Chateaubriand, and Montes. quieu's Spirit of Laws to the pamphlets • of M. de Bonald. There is another article in the same Journal, which probably would not have escaped the inexorable scissars. It states,. under the date of Frankfort, Jan. 29, that the Emperor of Austria had addressed a confidential Circular to all the Members of the Germanic Confederation, insisting on the adoption of an 64 armed neutrality" throughout all 'Germany— in order to secure its internal tranquillity against the troubles which " the intrigues of demagogues are causing in other countries of Europe." The use of the. word " neutrality" here seems ra-• ther wanting in precision --for neutrality means . an abstinence of joining with either of two contending parties. The whole story is, per.: haps, as unfounded as it is obscure. [BRITISH PRESS.] • In the discussion in the House of Commong tipim the prOpOsed measures, the Marquis of Lon donderry, deeply sensible of the value of the au- - thority, freely urged the suggestions of the Mar quis Wellesley, in justification of his propositions; The concession made last night by Sir John. Newport, in deference 'to this authority, proved. that the Minister had not calculated erroneously upon the extent of its influence. It has been_ remarked in the House that there appears not in the Papers laid before Parliament any inti mation that the Insurrection Act, and the sus pension of the Act of habeas Corpus (as the measure is familiarly though erroneously called) have been required by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,, but we do not doubt that such a sug,- gestiOn has been made by the Noble Marquis.-- The. motives that led to the request must, how ever, have for Med the most interesting portion of . the communication, and- with these the. country still rests unacquainted. It is not difficult to. perceive the object of the Insurrection Act. The . offences it contemplates are those nocturnal out rages which now, for the most pttrt, disgrace the' peasantry of the south of Ireland, and the Insur rection Act may be very well suited to correct - these evils ; but the power of arbitrary imprison ment upon suspicion seems to be intended to meet an evil of even more serious magnitude,'and contemplates a danger different from 'a commo tion among the lowest orders of the people.— The Marquis of Londonderry darkly insinuated that emissaries were sent 'from the discontente7d parts of the counties into those which were still sound for the purpose of propagating the inlet , - Lion, and that it was proper to guard against the danger of an extensive conspiracy, the objects of 'which might soar beyond the commutation of, tithes and the .diminution of taxes. A hint thus, darkly' thrown out ever produces a great' in. fluence over the decisions of a popular dssenibly, and it was not lost upon the present occasion. • [MORNING POST.] • , The Bills for the Renewal of the Insurrection Act and' the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus iii. Ireland, passed the House of Commons last night, and are expected to go through all their stages in the House of Lords this day. • These important measures it is therefore probable Iva). become immediately o p era ti ve l aws ; that t hey may be proMptly effective must he the sincere • wish of every true British and Irish heart. Tire• present state.of Ireland, from whatever cause it may have arisen, obviously demands the most vis gorous exertions of the Executive ; and 'it must be acknowledged• that there are few._ indi viduals in whom extensive power could be vested with greater safety than in the hods . of the present noble and enlightened ,Chief Governor of Ireland. It is true 'that under the insurrection Act the Magistrates, many. ,of whom are prejudiced and ignorant men, will be vested with the most fearful authority. They will have a right, at their own pleasure and dis cretion, to enter into the most retired and deli . - cate part of any dwellinrr-houSe, and if refused ad:- mittance; to force the chambers even of females; —any man found out of his house between sun set and sun-rise, any p erson found in a publi c house in the same period, whether a traveller or neighbour, any occupier Of a house absent from home, any person in whose possession either arms or ammunition are found—all these• are liable to transportatiOn for seven years : I.llnl this too without the interference of a Clritid Jury by Bill, without the Petty Jury, by their verdict, and without allowingjhe aggrieved party any satisfactory aweal.
