THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO BATH. The following is a Copy of the Answer of Rovd the . Comtnawier in Chief, to the .

LATET ANGUIS 1 HERBA. We yesterday inserted a letter frond the Titular Archbishop or Dublin, Which of course he expects to have 'received by simple folk for a disclaimer of the new edition of his Rheims Testament, and those . precions Annotations which we have already in part laid before our Readers. This disclaimer The Morning-. Chronicle of yesterday stiles " every Way lvorthy of a Christian Prelate." It speaks foi• itself'. Differing wholly from the emancipatory Chronicle, we refer our readers to Tat; SUN of yesterday for the letter, and shall now indulge ourselves in a small plucking at this consummate piece of trickery, " every way Worthy of a" Po pish Jesuit. His Reverence begins by noticing that he has seen the book in question, " said to be levised, corrected, and . approved" by himself ; and then declares that he never approved any edition not conformable to that of 1791, to which he had af fixed a certain formula of his approbation. But mark—Doctor Troy disclailims nothing but the approval: he does not deny his ievision or correc tion, which most have necessarily preceded th'e publication ; the approval might have followed it, awl have been subsequently withdrawn, as some what inconvenient. Popery allows these little subterfuges : witness the disapprobation which time ci-det ant Romish Board clapped upon the speech of Cother Doctor—Dromgoole. The varialice in the Notes of tifese contending editions is thus cautiously adverted to. Dr. Troy stiles it an " estmntial" variance, and fully sof7- dent to justify hi 3 on-approbation ; yet the pious pastor read them without " considering" a va riance so " essential ;" and it is only upon his ".for the first time considering" the outcry which these Annotations have raised, that he announces the rejection, which did wit follow upon his " first " reading. We shrewdly suspect, that his disapprobation is, not of time doctrines which ha'i - e been published, but of the clamour which they have excited. Doctor TrOy put on his reading spectacles when the book was published; but Doctor Troy did not put on his considering cap until the book was reviewed. Yet farther.—He rejects the Notes, as " harsh and irritating in expression ;" and some of them —pray mind!—" some of THEM as false and ab surd in " reasoning;"' so, 'according to Doctor Troy, ALL the harshness and irritation with which the Notes abound are not„ in his judgment, false hood and absurdity. A Papist may be " harsh " toward an Heretic, and " irritating," and ".on charitable;" but it does not therefore follow, that a Papist is " false and absurd." Doctor Troy will oblige us by Witting forth, in his next " so lemn disclaitner,'"tvhat anti-heretical doctrines are untrue. We will form our own ideas upon their harshness; .which may pos.ihly " irritate" our Protestant Legislature into maintaining oar Pro testant Establishment. A little better security than the oath of 'poet& Troy and his fraternity will be needed, to prove. that there are no " false hood arid absurdity" in fire and faggot. We must be more astute with a Jesuit than is requisite with common men. Doctor Troy talks of the " danger of reading these notes ;" and he orders his journeymen to " discourage and pre vent the circulation of a work tending to lumd the faithful' astray,'' and so forth. So you see that we Protestants are, upon Doctor Troy's own authority, which he will be after disclaiming in a post or t‘v(i, mere infidels : and, by the bye, it is not this pat ticular work which they are to decry, and which misleads the faithful, but " a work ;" the name and nature whereof are conveniently left in the dark depths of Jesuitism. Mr. Coyne of Dublin, who lives under the Archbishop's own red nose, has; as we stated yesterday, libsolutely contradicted Dr. Tr'oy and, in a letter which he hai publicly addressed to him, affitms, that the Doctor did give his sanc tion to the work in question. Mr. Coyne's letter is too verbose and long for insertion in our Pa per ; but it is so circumstantial, that after reading that and the Doctor's Disclaimer, we may well say, • CREDAT JUD • .- , t; ''sarki* The Letter which apple •,!, . COYNE*, in reply to Dr. TROY'S " Atclaration," has pro duced the following Note from Mr. CUMMING, Bookseller, of Ormond-quay, alluded to in the former : " TO Mr. RI . CHABD COYNE, " Parliament-street. " rt,—l hare read the Address to the Most Reverend Or. Troy, which appeared in The Freeymit's Jouritatof this day, bearing your name, and thirr i keit hut justice to Jot to declare, that the statement therein contained is perfectly Correct, so far as it relates to me, and to the appearance of yoUr name as the Publisher of the Bible and Testament therein mentioned.

Declaring that Dr. TaoY had seen the numbers of the Bible as they successively appeettd, and stating that the cover announced the work to be published with the Doctor's knowledge and sanction. • At an Annual .General Court of Proprietors of the Albion Fire and Life Insurance CoMpany, held at the Company's House in New Bridge street, yesterday, the following Gentlemen were unanimously elected Directors for the year ensuing, viz. : chairman,Jamcs PATTISON, Esq.

DittnY-LAE.—The Merchant of Venice was represented here last night. , AS KEAN first esta bikhed his reputation in Shglock, we have only to observe that his merits were the same, but his peculiarities i•aither increased. His pauses were much longer than heretofore, and he sinks into a familiarity by no weans consistent With the sit tut firm of the character. For instance, last "light, when his revenge is disappointed, on the exposi tion of the Venetian law by Portia, and he ought t have appeared Overwhelmed by surprize and con , ste►•nation, he said " is that the law ?" with as much calmness and ease, as it he had been asking the hour of the day, ot• any 'other insignificant question ; and his long pause, and fixed look at Gratiano, and bitter frown at Bassrznio, when he finally quitted the stage, were wholly inconsistent with "- the downright violence and storm of pas sion " which must be supposed to have agitated his mind on the frustration of his revenge, the loss of his fortune, and the horrible necessity of becoming a Christian. But he is an actor of ori ginal merit, and we Censure with reluctance. new meld-dratne of The Falls of the Clyde Was repeated with increased success. It is very interesting in itself, and is rendered highly affecting by tl►e talents of the Performers. CHRISTCHURCH, HANTS. . , The VOCAL CONCERT at liuMßd7's ROotbil on Tuesday last, although not numerously was cer tainly most fashionably attended ; the different Airs, Songs, and Duets, were ably and scientifi-• cally executed, accompanied by Mr. Lorna on the Piano Forte. Miss HUGHES made a particular impression on the audience by her peculiar Style of singing the air of MOZART'S (Bata; • batti,'o bet Masetp) which wAs 'g'enerally applauded. Mr. Mr. BALL'S Song of 4 4 My ditty troth lite,'' was well executed; Miss BARTLET, the pupil- of Mr. Lobsa, promises to be a considerable acquisition Co lovers of pleasing singing, as this young Lady has a very neat style of execution ; but the grand effect was felt at the Trio between Miss HUGHES, Mr. HARRINGTON, and Mr. LODER, of La min Donabelia capace none." After tea and stepper, the ball commenced, and BOULANJER, With fine variations, terminated the merry 'dance about half-past three in the morning. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The Provincial Synod of Perth and Stirling met, on Tuesday last, in the West Church of Perth.— Dr. Irvine, of Little Dunkeld, Moderator. The only business of ihrportance before the Synod was a Protest from Dr. Wright, Markinch, and Mr. Small, of Stair, against the proceedings of the Presbytery of Stirling, in the inductiOn of Mr. Archibald Bruce to be Third Minis.ter of that town, in so far as the Ite%erend 'Presbytery refused to receive the protest of Dr. Wright and Mr. Small against said induction. The Presbytery of Stirling having failed to appear at the bar, and haVing refused to the complainersext racts from their records, the Synod found ; that although there was no full legal document of the proceedings of said Presbytery before them; yet, front the ex parte statement, as well as from all the circumstances of the case, the proceedings of the Presbytery appeared to that Synod to haie been irregular ; and there fore the Synod enjoined the Presbytery of Stirling to appear at the bar of next Synod, to be held at Stirling in April ensuing, and to' furnish extracts of all their proceedings in said case.—(Edinburgh Courant, 0ct..27.) PRESTON, OCT. 25.—The Duke de SAN CARLOS, Spanish Ambassador, arrived in this town on Wednesday last, and immediately proceeded to Stonyhurst College, with his son.

SESSIONS HOUSE, CLERKENWELL. COUNTER! , AT . FOREIGN COIN. This morning,,l4 illicttn Lowe, ot Mercer-street, Long-acre, was indicted for countert-iting siderable quanti.ies of foreign coin, maoe of a mixed metal, representing the 10 centime pieces, current in France, compostd of thin sheet copper with a Sit vyr colouring. As the prisoner plea(ted guilty, the s e+►tenced him to 3 months' imprisonment only. Had he pleaded, and been found guilty, the 'sentence is 12 months' impri sonment, and•tr,Msportation for a second offence. It appears that a considerable ti attic has been of late carried on in shipping the counterfeit coin of different Foreign States ; and so artfully has the same been shipped, viz, the coin run in pigs ot lead and shipped as such at the Custom-house, AS to bid all defiance to detection, tiii the A.liet. Office succeeded in finding the whole of a cargo of coin, not only ready for shipment, but the very dies and powerful machinery for making the same in all its branches. 'l•he persons connected with this.bn sineSs have already sent many cargoes, which have been safely delivered at Ostend and Calais. AIEbANCHOLY SUICIDE. CORONER'S INQUEST. An Inquisition was taken last night, at the Brown Bear, Milhank-Street, Westminster, at seven o'clock, before HUGti Lewis, E-q. Coro ner, on the body of John Dottim Price, pro prietor of the New Exchange Coffee-house, Strand, who was found.drowned ou Wednesdav morning ; about two o'clock, in the Thames, op poSite Alillbank. John Grant, waterman, Green-Arhour-court, Doetors'- Commons, sworn, said, that about two o'clock on WedneS day morning be was towing a West country barge up the river, towards Chelsea. When he got oppa , ite row, he observed•the body of the deceased floating on the surface of the water; lie stopped his boat, and tied a rope round the arm of the deceased, and towed hint to shbre ; he conceited the deceased had been dead some days, Which was the reason he did not take the body out of the water until he had towed it to the river side; he lifted up'thc head oldie deceased out oflhe Water, he appeared quite dead, his hands were cold. He called a Watchman, who was on some coal barges, and told him that he had towed a body to shore. The man did not conic to help him to take the body out of the Water; believing that he was past rceovcry, lie tied the 'cOrd which was listened to the arm of the deceased to a barge which was by the river Side-, and left the body in the water ; he told the man, whom he supposed was a watchman, that Le was going t 6 tow the barge a little further, and shOted soon "return, and bt,,,ed him to have an eye on the huily until he 'came back. Coroner- 7 ." Is it the practice of watermen to let persons fie under water, atter they have touni them, for hours ?- , - - •Why did not you take the body Out of the water the moment you found hint I" Witness---He thought he had been in the water seven or 'eight days'; for he understood Im'dies }}ever floated On the set) face of the water 'until they had been in the water that length of time. He went away in his boat, and went with the barge up the river s and returned a.,otit tour o'clock the same morning ; he found the deceased still lying in the water where he left him, tied to the barge; the man whom he sup posed Was a watchman was not near the body nor was any other person near it. He and some other watcrmen went to the Brown Bear acid sent for the beadle ; he ex amined the pockets of the deceased, in the presence of nine or ten persons, and found a knife, an eye-glass, a !Mitch of keys, five shillings in silver, and also a card of ad aresS, oil Which was printed "J. D. Prie, -New Exchange Coffee-house; Strand." The body was taken into the Brown Bear. He did nut think that. the deceased had been long in. the water when he first saw him, for when he returned at• four o'clock, he found that hi's neckerchief was nut viet through, and he had every -- appearance of tteibig recently drowned. He was sorry that he committed such an error as he did in leaving the body in the Water. Coroner—'' 1 - n future I hope such a circutn• stance will never happen ; common sense would have dictated to you, that he ought not, to haie - • in . been left toe water, foi means are frequently successful in restoring persons who are apparently dead, and in this case, had means been used, the deceased might have been now alive." Alekander Hogg, waterman, No. 11, Gloucester place, Vauxhall-bridge, rteing sworn, said, that about seven o clock on Wednesday,evening , he was•stowing his boat near Vaux hall-bridge, arid a man that was on the bridge called to him to row near the centre of the bridge, and said that a man had jumped into the river. He had heard a noise like something falling into the water, and rowed towards the spot insialitly; he found a hat (which he produced), and continued for some time rowing backwards and forwards, and as he could not find any body, he went on shore, and was surprised that the person who called to him from ie bridge did not come round to him. „, Robert Frederick Owen, of the Strand, being sivorn, said that he had known the decea,ed a eonsiderabletime. His conduct lately had been very singular, and had been noticed by the officers of the army and navy, by whom the house was• chiefly frequented. He had visited hint daily, and knew hint to he in a low way. Mr. John Sullivan, 2, Villiers-street, Strand, sworn, said, that he had been hair-dresser to the deceased, his family, and the officers and families attending the hotel, for more thlin twenty years; lately he had been very unwell and despond ing, and not, in his opinion, in his right mind. He believed that lately he had great losses in his business, and that might have caused;in a great measure, his desponSency. Thomas Brightman, head-waiter to the deceased, being sworn, corroborated the above evidence; anti added, that he was of opinion, from the state of the deceased's mind, that he had dtowned himself. The deceased was fifty years of age. • The CORONER, in addressing the Jury, 'said, - - that the conatret of the waternian, in leaving the deceased so long in, the water after he found him, was highly censurable ; although the deceased bad been so long in the water, that there was no like lihood he conld.have been restored. The evidence was conclusive - - as to the state of his mind, and the only point for them to consider was, whether he came to his death by his own act or the act of some other person. Verdict.—" The deceased drowned himself in the River Thames, near Vauxhall Bridge, when in a state of munkul derangement:' CAUTION TO PARENTS.—A litte hay, in the vil lage of Halton, near Runcorn, in Cheshire, while playing with a damson-stone in his mouth, by a deep inspiration, drew it into his wind pipe. The symptom's were of course, of an, alarming nature, and death appeared inevitable.' A surgeon who resides in the village, recom mended opening the windpipe externally, as the only chance of saving the child's lite. To the parents, and surrounding neighbours, this ap peared impracticable; for cutting the throat to preserve lite, carried with it, in their imagination, t h e id ea o f m adness ! The prejudices of the pa rents were, however, .at length overcome, and' they consented to have the operation performed ; the offending body was accordingly removed, and with it every bad symptom. lt s is-now only three weeks since the operation was performed ; the wound is quite healed, and the boy perfectly re• covered.
