A considerable quantity of Kent and Sussex Hops have arrived here, in conse quence of the small quantity which our own plantation is likely to produce. tUrNOS At ES.—liy the ni livdi of the Duchess of York from Buenos Ayres, letters have been re ceived front thence to the 6111 of July. It was COnfidently reported there, and folly credited ; though no official accounts of the fact had arri ved, that after several friendly conferences be tween the officers of the Patriotic and Royalist armies in Upper Peru, an Armistice had been con cluded, and the Preliminaries agreed upon, of a Treaty of Union and Co-operation in shaking off the yoke of the mother country. The Portuguese !troops at Monte Video remained in Stahl quo. The trade of privateeriug had proved so lucrative a spe culation, that the Buenos Ayres merchants had kesolved to car, y it on upon a more extended scale. Several vessels had been fitted out for that Purpose, of a larger size, and more formidably armed and manned than those which they had Previously equipped. One of them, named the Coosequencia; put to sea on, the 28th of June ; and another, named the 'Pupae Ameira, sailed on the 3c! of July. 'the Con.equencia mounts 40 i7uns, and has a crew of 300 tnen,of all nations. Three days before she sailed a quarrel arose among ter motley crew, as to how the prize -money they might be entitled to for their meditated captures should be shared. From words they soon came to blows, and before peace was restored by the in terference of the marines, one of the seamen was killed, and 13 wounded. The ringleaders in the conflict, on both sides, were sent on shore. 'be 'Pupae Ameiro carries 16 guns and 160 men. The Fredericksteitt, Capt. Dodds, is said to have stranded about two leagues below Colonia. Her cargo consisted of wines, tobacco, and sugar ; the • wines wet e saved, the other articles totally lost. The Duchess of York has brought home a large sum in dollars, for account of the lira ich mer chants. Commodore Bowles, in the Ampoion frigate, gave her convoy until she had a good clfEug from the river Plate. Ot.n BArtEr.—The trials on Saturday were not of any particular interest.—The ItLCORDER told the ..I:ay, that the Sessions would, iu all probabi• iity, last a fortnight longer. The new twopenny per clay Exchequer Bills have been printed, and the period for their being issued will be advertised in the course of next Week. A large issue of Half-Sovereigns and Crowns are now in a forward state of preparation. It is said, also, that a new coinage of Copper, on a very extensive scale, is determined an ; and that the necessary measures have already been adopted for carrying it into execution. BitowN, the decant Buenos-Ayres Admiral, who, it will be remembered, ,had his ship seized by a Government vessel in the West Indies, is now in this country. He came here for the pur pose of claiming of the liri•ish Government tio restoratiou of his vessel, &o. The Spanish Go: xernment, however, were beforehand with him. They claimed the vessel as their property, which Government gave up to them, and rejected, in toto, the suit of of Admiral BaowN. Twenty-two horses of the finest symmetry pass ed through itatnford; in Lincolnshire,on Monday last, on their road for lfnll , there to embark for Prussia. Every horse measured full' 16 bands bigh, showing much blood, and appeared equal to troy weight up to the fleetest fox-bounds. They were all purchased by Mr. CAVE BHOWNE, and sold to Count BRANDENBURGH for the Kipg of PRUSSIA. N.. 'misfit exceeded 6 years old, and collectively they were supposed to be the finest utring of horses ever sent out of England. A Court-Martial was held on Saturday morning on the Boatswain of the cherub, at Portsmouth, for conniving at a theft of . tar, part of the stores committed to his charge. He was sentenced to be dismissed the service. SMUGGLING.—" It is surprising," says a most respectable Correspondent, " to what an extent smiigg)ing is carried on along the Sussex coast. A few days ago I saw no less than eleven boats employed in removing goods in broad day-light, in the neighbourhood of Hastings, and not a soul appeared to molest them. They were all French vessels, whose crews, I am intmmed, are particu larly expert in these fraudulent expeditions."---- (Brighton Herald." Puumism Randall and B/ascow will fight within 20 nines of London to-morrow. Carter and Gregson have been exhibiting at the late Shrews- Lucy Races, wiib great eclat. In the hand-bill of Carter, he is declared the champion of England, and nuider the Immediate training of Gregson, on their mine to Carlisle' Races, .to fight Donnelly, the Irish Champion. Carter's booth on the race grohild was like a theatre, emptied and filled about five tiiiies every POETRY, THE RED KITTFN.• 0 the rcd red Kitten is sent away, isT,c, more on parlour hearth to play; He must live in the Draper's house, And chace the rat and catch the mouse, And all day long in silence go Thro' bales of cotton and calico. After the King of England famed, The red red Kitten Was Rurus named, And as King Rurus sported through Thicket and brake of the Forest new', The red red Kitten Rurus so Shall jurop about the calico. But as King RUFUS chaced the deer; And hunted the forest far and near, Until as he watched the jumpy squirrel, He was Shot by WALTER TYRREI, So, if Fate shall his death ordain, Shall Kitten Runrs by dugs be slain, And end his thrice three lives of woe Among the cotton and calico. a A red Kitten was sent to the house of a Linen-draper in the Cityi and, on departing from the maternal basket, the above lines were written. CHELTENHAM. '26TH SEPT. 1817. These health-restoring Waters have been much frequented this Season, anti this place is still very full. The Promenade at the IVells every morn ing is stifficie. , tly gay and crowded, and the rides and walks about Montpelier are -truly invitin ;, from the care with which they are kept, and the beauty of the surtonnding scenery. The Balls, which have he n susnendrd for the last week, on account of the sudden death of a young Lady of 19, the danAter of ine Proprietor of the Rooms, are to be resumed this evening, it is expected, with their wonted ettractimh—The number of Belles and Beans here is considerable, and how can an eveniue; he better pct,sed than in, the enjoyment 01 so harmless and exhilarating an amusement ? 'The Theatre too is not wit bola its claims to favour, and is generally well attended Mrs: - EDWIN has just closed an engagement which has adthni much to the attractions of ti n es Stage. Au Amateur too has been exhibiting him self, in the general character of Amateur Acting, more for his own amusement than that of any body else. New Buildings arc springine, up in every direc tionl Which, if not remarkable for much taste, can still boast of neatness.—Where these are not in ; contiuue , l streets, of which there are several new ones, they rise up in the form of Villas, which are really ornamental to the general ap pearance of the.town. The• Church is under repair, but no symptoms of enlargement appear, and the Visitors are with out proper arcommodation.—ls it to be wondered at in this case, if ice see Meeting-houses multi i plying on all sides, and thus separation has at least the plausible pretext of ntcessit y.—This , point is so well orr2ed, and so fearfully demon strated in the Rev.

FA4HONABLE CHANGES. Sir C. M. turret!, Part. M. P. at Vinepli Castle, Sussex, fromFranee ; W. Killoer, Esq. at his house, Gray's-Inn-lane, from North Wales; Sir Thomas and Lady Lethbridge, from Sotobourne House, Hampshire, to Weymouth, on their way to their scat at Sandkill Park, Soinersetshiru. TUC- TRPATRE.—Mr. STANLEY resumed the character of Ranger on Saturday at Drury-Lane Theatre, and again displayed the same spirit and gaiety which appeared in' his first performance.— The part, as we before observed, is more cha racterized by vitigtir &to,. set y than by gentlemanly humour, and little more than intrepid spirit is ne cessary iu supporting it. The House- w as we ll attended, and the rest of the characters were re presented as before, and in such a manner as to satisfy the audience in general. Miss O'NEILL is to perform three nights at Bristol. previous to her return to Covent-Garden Theatre„where she is to make her first appearance as the gentle Juliet. On this occasion the admission to the Boxes is to be•raised one shilling. Mr. FREELING has returned to town, and re sumed his station at the Gent ral Post-Office. Origin of the Word LADY ..—Grave iiissertat ions upon words are no better than pompous inanity; I shall therefore be brief " as woman's love.''--The term Lady (which JOHNSON negiigentiy derives from the Saxon) ..was sometimes besfilwed, on women of fortune, even before their husbands had received any title which could confer that distinc tio upon them.. The cause 1 apprehend to have been this : It was formerly the custom, and a cus tom more " honourable in the observance than the breach," for those whom fortune had blessed with affluence to live constantly at their manor houses in the country, where, once a week or oftener, the Lady of the manor used to. distribute with her own hands a certain quantity of bread. She was hence denominated by those who shared her bounty, lef-day, which, in Saxon, signifies the bread giver. A gradual corruption in the mode of pronouncing this word bus produced the modern Lady ; and perhaps from this hospitable custom arose Abe practice universally existing, that ladies serve the-meat at their own tables. The resolution of the Theatrical Managers to abstain from puffing off their Performances at the f o ot of their play-bills has given universal satis faction.; and the example might very safely be followed by - the Lottery Contractor ; for it is a fact, that there never was a Scheme which, like the present, offered such inducements to the Pub lic, or one which required so little puffing. GLOUCESTER MUSIC MEETING. Every requis'ite arrangement being prepared, ' our Musical 'Festival commenced on Wednesday last, with:Divine Service at the Cathedral, which was attended by must of the Vocal and Instru mental Performers, who gave an earnest Of their talents in the grand and effective harmony e the Dettihgee le Deem, and the beautiful AntheM of Dr. Boyce, " Blessed is he." Mr. BR'LLAMY gave the tenor part—" 'I he Lord will strengthen him," with fine effect, and " I did weep for hini that was in trouble," was delivered by Mr. BitAtusi With that peculiar and striking emphasis fur wuich Le is remarkable. The Duet, " Here shall soft Charity repair," was distinguished by ,tlie fine taanly strains of BARTLEMAN and VAUGHAN. Mr. BUGGINS, jun. in the Duet with Mr. VAUGHAN; " The Lord'xvill preserve him," exhibited a sweet, though not very powerful voice.—The Hon. and Right Rev. the LORD BssuoP of this Diocese preached the Sermon from Rom. xv. verses 26-7. " For it bath pleased theut of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor Saints which are at Jerusalem. It bath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duly is also tominister unto them in carnal things." His Lordship enforced the claims of the Widow and Orphan, to render whom assistance was the object of this Meeting, with an 'impressiveness that seemed to have its MI effect upon the assem bled congregation. After the sermon,,HANOßL's Coron - utimi Anthem. was performed 7 in to vista and effeetive style. The collection at the - door amounted to the sorts of 2171. 15s. 3.1-d. .The Evening Concert was held, for the first :ime, in the New Noon► at the County. Hall, which vas extremly well lighted by three grand chande iers, with patent lamps ; and a most elegant and 'ashiOnable company graced its walls, to the-num- her of about SOO, which is consideraly more than usually attemLs the first concert. Th e perform ances of the evening were Acis and Galatea, with a grand Miscellaneous Selection ; it would, per haps, be deemed invidious to select instances of the merits of the Performers, when all were excellent—however, we feel inclined to no- lice the solo, by Mrs. Vaughan, '' For us the zephyr blows," and "0 ruddier than the cherry," by Mr. Hart'email, which were given with the greatest effect. The beautiful trio, " The flocks shall leave the mountains," was encored with rapture—the Italian air, " Sul mart h ine d'un rio," by Mrs. Salmon, was particul a rly fine, as was her duet with Mr. Brabant, " When thy bosom heaves the sigh." Madame Cautporese -and Les Demoi selles de Lihu gave great satisfaction to the lovers of Italian harmony. A Concerto on the Violon cello, by Master Linley, vas very much admired, and the ‘vhole of this evening's performance went off with eclat. .On Thursday morning, at - the Cathedral, a Se lection from the works ot - Handel, Haydn, Graun, &c. was performed, in which Madame CaMporese sang two English airs with very good accent ; Mrs. Salmon delightfully warbled " Angels ever brigUt and Nir'," " With verdure -• clad ;" the Reci tatives were given . with great effect by Messrs. Brahaut and Bartleman ; the latter was particu larly fine in an air from the Creation, " Rolling in foaming billows." It is supposed nearly 1500 percons were present at this performance;-And the collection at the door amounted to 173/.5:. 6d. In the evening, upwards of 1400'attended the Concert. The old madrigal of Wilbye, composed in the year 1609, " Mora gave the fairest flowers,"' by Mrs. Salmon, Mrs. Vaughan, Messrs. Vaughan, Hawes, and Bartleman, was greeted with a ge neral encore, as was the Echo Duet, by Mrs. S. and Mr. Braham ; but what seemed to afford the must gratification was the Cantata of " Alexis," by Mr. Vaughan, the airs of which were accompanied on the Violoncello by Mr. Lin ley, whose imitations of the singer were exquisite. A new ballad, " Pity a poor and friendless girl," was sung by Mrs Salmon with such true feeling as elicited universal applause ; the general desire • was to call for a repetition, but a consideration for the exhausted state of this public: favourite, who had taken such a prominent part in the even ing's performance, prevailed. Madame Campo rese, and Les Demoiselles de Lihu gave pleasing specimens of their abilities in music of the Italian 'school. Mr. Holmes, on the bassoon, afforded further proof of his superior execution on that in strument. The attraction this morning was the grand Ora torio of The Me s si a h, w hi c h went off with the best possible effect. Mr. Brabant, in the opening eitative, << Comfort ye," was, as usual, very pressive ; and the whole of those engaged having ant opportunity, in the course of" this long per ' formance, exerted themstives to give due effect ,_to this immortal production of Handel.` i Time will not permit us to descant upon the individual merits of each : yet, although we havelrequently witnessed the execution displayed by other emi- Decal)? gifted Performers, _both vocal • and, instru mental, our gratification was never more complete than on this occasion. Upwards of 1600 per Sons were present, and the collection at' the cloorO•Or the purposes.of the Charity, amounted to 3171:,:: , The. Festival will conclude with this evening's Concert, which, no doubt will prOVe eqUal to the preceding ones-, as we can antieipate the pleaStire• that will be be felt from firaham's'" :Bewildered , Maid," and " Death of Nelson,"--the Dnet,,by Mrs. S. and Mr. Braham, " Together let us range,"—Mr. Linley's Concerto on time ViOlort.; cello, &c. ,-..We are confident we deliver the ge, neral opinion in asserting that no previous ,Meet, ing in Gloucester has been better attended, or afforded greater pleasure to its visitors than the present, whether we refer to the gentlemanly at tendon of the Stewards- r Ahe iudefatigable la bours of the Conductor—or the strenuous exer-, 1 Lions used by the Performers to give perfect Sails- ' faction to their bearers. • The Balls, after the different evenings' . Con certs, were supported with great spirit ; and the pleasures of the mazy dance detained' the com pany until early hours.--The - Ordinaries, at the King's Head and Bell Inns, were well attended. Among those who have honoured, the Meeting with their presence, we observed— The Duke of Beaufort and family, the` Hononrahle and Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of this Diocese, Lord Apsley, H. 11.

J. P. TRI A LS . FOR. TREASON. DERBY, FYIDAY, SEII- QC. At eight o'clock this morning twelve prisoners came in from -Nottingham, on the top of a coach, all chained logether. , They scented in excellent spirits, making their remarks to one another a nd laughing as th e y passed along. A few minntts past ioint, Mr, Loundes, the'Clerk of Arraigns, took his place in Court ; a short time afterwards, the Attorney-,tvneral entered and seated himself on his right hand. Mr. Lourdes directed di_ t ;heir Lordships should be informed the Attorney- General was in:Cotsit ;. at that instant Mr. Jiii • rice Holroyd and Mr. Justice Abbott rook their seats on the bench; Mr. Clarke took his plact., et the same time on the Attorney-General's right hand ; Mr. Balm sat ti.!xt. Air. Justice ABBOTT (addressing the Notting ham Gaoler.)--liaoler, you have prisoners here; bring them for ward. The twelve men from Nottingham were then led from a cell immediately behind the bench to the seat prepared opposi:e the jury-box. The Clerk read their names :—lsaac Ludla►n the younger, Charles Stvaine, John Onion, Joseph Top ham, German Buxton, Edwaid Moore, George Brassington, William :Moms, IJardwich•e, John Wright, Thomas EIISOT, and Joseph Savage. Mr. Justice ABBOTT (repeating the uame4 of the prisoners..)—The Grand Jury of this County having, at the lust Assizes here, found true bills for high treason against you, you are indicted upon that charge, and to take your trial on the 15th or 16th of October next. You hod better be prepared for the 15th. Have you any Solicitors employed for your defence ?: Mr. RosEltr BOND, of Leicester, stood up at the end of the table, and said that Mr. Thomis Itagg, of Belper, in this. county, and. himself, were' Solicitors fur these and fur all the other prisoners. • Me. Justice ABBOTT. Prisoners, you say these Gentlemen are your Solicitors. An order shall be made to . secure to them access to you as ;all reasonab!e ho'nrs. Have you given instruciions as to any Gentleman at the tar to be counsel for'you t Mr. BoND:z--These and all the other prisoners wish for. Mr. john Cross and Mr. Thomas man to be their Counsel. Mr. Justice AnsoTT.--These Gentlemen, shall beassigned by the Court for your Counsel, and an order made that they may have access to you at all reasonable hours. The prisoners were then withdrawn. Mr. Justice Autorr.--After consulting with the gaoler here (Mr. Eaton), and with the, phy. sician . (Dr, Fox), I find it would be neither con• venient nor advisable to put these prisoners into the gaol here. It is better, for their own sake, that they be taken hack again to Nottingham. After a considerable interval, the following.pri. soners were led to tile bar through the Court Thomas Bacon, (an aged man, charged to have planned the alleged insurrection), Jeremiah Brand• reth (designated as the Nottingham Captain), a little, thin, old mail), Joseph Wightman (an un. commonly stout and good-looking young man), William Turner (4 young man, but rather disfi gured by au enormous black beard, apparently the growth of several nuint Lis) , Isaac Ludlam the elder, William Ludlam, and Samuel Hunt. • Mr. .loStice ABBOTT addressed them in pre. cisely the sa►rie taws as he had addressed the o►hers. Edward Turner, Robert Turner, John M'Kessick, John Hill, Joseph Rawson (alias Thorp), John Moore, William" Wightman, and Thomas , Wightman, were next brought up, arid disposed in like nian• net. The last party were Joseph Wightman, James Wightman7 Thomas Benison (very young and good looking lads), Alexander Johnson, John Bacon; and Josiah Godber (the two last rather old men). Joseph Turner and Samuel Ludlam were so sick that they could tint be brought into Court ; the gaoler was, therefore, instructed to communicate to them the appointment of Solicitors and; Coml• se', and the daylof their trials., Thus 35 .peOsail f _altogether are to take their trials here on the'ls•th of October, upon a charge of ,high tEeason;. All are evidently of the lowest and labouring class of . the community; Many a them appeared in Court in their blue smock-frocks. Mr. ATTORWEY-GENERAL.—I have a motion to subunt to the Court; that Mr. Henry Litchfield, the Solicitor for the Prosecution, be instructed to ,deliver to the prisoners a list of the Jurors, their professions, and planes of residence, at the same time with the indictment. Your Lordships may recollect a similar order by the Court of King's :Bench at the trial of Watson. Mr. Justice ABBOTT.—An order shall be made :to that effect. • The Court adjourned at half-past 10, to Wed• nesday, the.lsth of October, at i o'clock. se'nnight tw o bstanee sea,. which had the appearance of fishermen LARGE 1. 0 1 r b it s r t. v E o ,. d ..if it O WHALE.—On rge Satur d ay si about four milcs'trom Priestside, in the p ar i s h o f Ruthwell, Scotland, the hull or wreck of a vessel. On Sunday they discovered, to their no small surprize, that it was a large whale, measuring no less than 36 feet in length ; it was quite dead.
