It had not terminated last night at 12 o'clock, at which boar the poll was 820 for the former, and 819 the latter. The Election will be continued to-morrow." We cannot, as staunch Protestants, suffer the krtiele under the head of LITERARY REVIEW, (see our First Page) to close this 'day, without uifering our thanks to THE BRITISH CRITIC for Laying afforded us so valuable a defence of our established Church, and so able an exposure of the artifices and the dangers M POPERY. INDIA. We yesterday announced the arrival of Captain ILL, of His Majesty's ship Lyra, with dispatches ham the Governor-General of India, stating that the Malirattas bad suddenly commenced hostilities against us. The following are further particulars Of this unexpected event, which, however, when the dispatches came away, had terminated in pa ti6c arrangements : Captain HALL had been sent from Calcutta, Ivith dispatches from the Marquis of HASTINGS; tut, upon touching at Madras, he was stopped by th e Governor, Mr. ELLIOTT', for the purpose of bringing dispatches. containing the important news of war having broken out against us in the tooniuions of the PEISHWA. The lion..Mr• l'aiNsToge, our resident at Poonah, has tong luspected the intentions of the I'EIsHWA to be hos tile. In consequence, as soon as the war did break out, he seized the person of the PRIsHwA, ltud committed hit» to safe ethrody. it was in the province of Cut tadi, also, that war broke out, and the communication from Calcutta to Madras had been intercepted for 21 days. The leader of the alahrattas in the PEISHWAS dominions is TRIM.. 'CII(SP.E. a man well known to all acquainted with itur affairs in that part of the world..---SCINDIN and KHAN were expected to declare themselves 4 goinst us forthwith, and the war was exported to be on the most extensive scale. No accounts hail yet been received relative to HOLKAR. " Sir JOHN MALCOLM had been to Calcutta, hod had returned to Madras to assume a very ins- Portant command. 44 The Marquis Of HASTINGS and Mr. ELLIOTT vere both engaged in putting forth all the military lucans at their disposal. " Wc find in addition, that our troops baring, about the Bth of May last, surrounded Poonah, and taken the PEtsnwA, compelled him to accede t o the terms offered to him, allot to give up three of his chief forts. " Captain HALL left Calcutta on the 19th of April; Madras on the Ist of June ; and St. Hele na on the 14(li August. He brought dispatches u o r only from the Marquis of HASTINGS and Mr. twOTT, but also from Governor FARQUHAR and HumoN Lowe." Yesterday Mr. YISMER, the ..`dessenger, was seat off with dispatches abroad. The Baron CYNAGHTEM, Chamberlain to the Emperor of AUSTRIA, left town on Saturday even ing for Dover, on his return to Vienna. The Duke of CLARENCE. on a shooting party, is on a visit to the Earl of EGaEMoNT, at Pet- worth. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND, the Princess SOPHIA Of SALSIS, Sir G. Obsare, the Carl of CHARLEVIILE, &C. were among the dis tinguished personages who visited Arundel Castle last week. By the last letters from Malta, it appears the Earl and Countess of CRAVEN and family had been at Venice, Corfu, and Zante, and that they were atyout to go Font Malta to Syracuse, Catania, and Palermo, and afterwards to Rome, Florence, and Leg'horn ; and then to return. to Naples, where. they would remain until the Spring. The Noble Earl had been slightly indisposed, but was quite well again. The Countess and family, and the rest of his Lordship's party, were all in good health. Loan GUILDARD..-.4'00 much praise •cannot' 'hi given to this Nobleman for his noble and bene- • teem exertions to promote the permanentesta bli,hment at Corfu of a College for the Education of Grecian Youths, and the ardour with which he tallows up the same, his. Lordship being on the eve of his return to that Island, to see the mea sure carried into effect. It is very generally rumoured that there is a great probability of a strong opposition to Sir CODFREY \VEBSTER'S being returned again for the County of Sussex... Mr. SHIPPERDSON and General Sir GORDON DRUMMOND have been mentioned as likely to offer themselves for the City of Durham, hut we h a ve reason to believe that the present Members are pretty certain of being re-elected whenever a dia., solution of Parliament may take place. The liberal and enlightened conduct of General MAITLAND, in his Government in the Mediterra nean, will be attended with the most beneficial consequences to this Country ; and it is wily gra tifying to hear that tiie fame and high character of England is so universally acknowledged thronOiout Italy OM: Greece. The followin, , sentence appeared in one of the Resolutions of Dublin against the pry posed commutation of the Window Tax. We think we could match it with some of the diurnal tea rical crit lours on this side of time water : " `should thy ruthless hand of Power enforce the menaced Inquisition on this ih!vcned Country, we prefer cffering the Inunage of a sullen and ri:; , ,kting submiFsion, to acquiescence in a suicide cqually revolting and unnatural." . SECOND EDITION. SUN-OFFICE, Two o'CLocK. We have jast received private bitt authentic, accounts from Spain, which place that country in `a different point of 'View respecting Portugal than has hitherto been stated. It appears that movements of Spanish Troops seethed to have a threatening and formidable tendency, but which the condition of Spain at the present mo ment would hardly have enabled it to carry into effect,if with hostile aims against Portugal. The movement of some troops of Cavalry towards Estramadura, which have been too hastily con sidered is hostile indications against. Portugal, are now said and believed to he intended to re- , lieve the adjacent country. But those military forces are not so great as.. Report repre- sented, and we are assured that the full amonqt of the militvy at present in Andalusia were hardly beyond 0,000, and that they were by no means in a condition fit for immediate ac tion. Thus, though, as we before stated, there have been alarMs in Portugal on the movements _of. _Spanish troops, which have actually 'iaken place, yet, upon farther inquiry, there does not seem at present any object in view that is likely to disturb the tranquillity of the two Nations, and consequently to involve other Powers in the contest.

Admiralty-office, Oct. SO. Six.,—T am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you, for the infottnation of the Corn iuittee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's, that Capt. BALL, of his Majesty's ship the Lyra, has arrived at this Office; that be informs me, that he had experienced severe easterly gales in the chops of the Channel ever since the 26th nit. and that it was with the greatest difficulty that his Majesty's ship was enabled to reach Bantry hay on the 14th inst. The Captain also reports," that a great number of mer chant ships were in the chops of the Channel, and he fears that many of them must be in great distress for provisions, and he also apprelinds that many have been driven to the northward of their usual course, in their attempts to reach Ireland. My Lords, therefore, further direct me to acquaint you, that they have in consequence issued additional orders to the several ports, directing the Admirals to send assistance into the quarter pointed out by Captain Hall.

Yesterday afternoon as a groom belonging to Sir ROBERT BUR NETT, distiller, of Vauxhall, was riding a flue high-mettled horse, belonging to his niasfer, home from Kennington Cross, the ani mal took fright at some object and became quite tmtbanageable, and on the groom whipping and curbing him, he reared and made a sudden dart, and jumped clean through a large bow Window into the shop of Mr. TAIT, baker, near tile Black Prince, in Prince -street, Kenning ton-cross: as the animal was in the act of leap ing, :lid groom slipped off behind, and fortunately escaped unhurt, as did likewise the persons who were in tke shop ; the whole of the window was shattered to pieces, but very little damage was done to any thing else: POEtßir.

BRIGHTON, OCT. 19.—T0 the general joy of all ranks and descriptions, the PRINCE ARGENT is returned to this place. His Royal Highness reached the Pavilion last night, as late as half-past eleven o'clock, accompanied by the Right Hon. General Sir Benjamin Bloomfield. General Sir. William Keppel and Colonel Tnoraton arrived at the Palace about three hours earlier, anti Admiral Sir Edmund Nagle two days before; The Re gent was expected at the Pavilion on Thursday, and again on Friday evening—on both which oc casions the rooms were lighted up', and continued so until " night was at odds with morning."-- His Royal Highness :is in the happiest state of health. What . stay the Regent intends making here has not yet transpired ; it is said but short ; yet his. Royal Highness has certainly more domes tics with him than has been altogether usual in his short excursions hither. The common hope, therefore ' is, that his Royal Highness's return to Carlton House will be protruvted for a week or two.. THE TIMATRES.

Wihont. entering - iota cti!ical investiga tion of her performance, we shall merely sly that it wanted discrimination, was at times too langaid, and at others too boisterous, and on the whole was not sustained by. that lofty Phoracter which the author intended Mr. KEAN was as usual received in his Macbeth, and forcibly operated upon 'the fe'elings of his admirers. COVENT-GARDEN:---07 account of the sudden indisposition. of Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE, whip was to pei•tortn the part of Romeo last night, an apology was tuiik for the appearance of Mr. MTEEADY, who assumed it on a very short no tice. He acquitted Limself so we!l, however, that he wag 'mach applauded throughout. Miss O'NEILL, it hardly nevi be said, gave an affecting and most interesting spport to the character of Juliet, which is 'so it,ll suited to her powtrs, and in vltich, in the early 'part of her career on the Loitdon boards, she fully established her fame. MR. RAYMOND. It is with sincere regret that we have to colt- Municatc to our Readers the melancholy iutelli g'ence of the Deqdi of ibis Gentleman: Oa Sunday evening, as he ivas 2Nrritill;.7 a leper, a sudden fit o f apoplexy (l ed i him of 'his rowers, an.' he languished tillWSt night, wben he expired. Dr. Hoorn was sent for as soon as he was taken ill, and attended 'with the zeal and anxiety of friendship, but all the means his knowledge and experience could suggest were unavailing. Thus has the Public been deprived 'of s Gentleman wh o was alsidtious in his efforts to procure for them tn• clonal amusement, and the Theatre of a Manager, whose judgMent and arrangements promised a powerful support to its interests. As an Actor, hi's merit's were too well known to require any particular notice in this place. What he under took he performed with judgment, correctness, and 'energy, and never was negligent or imperfect in his ditty. ' The parts for which he wls chiefly qualified by his person and his general powers, were those of the haughty and terrific kind, such as unrelenting tyrints,acr; but be Was not confined to such parts, for he appeared with success in Rolla, Penrud 'dock, and several others, of which strong feelings and manly firmness were prominent features. — Mr. RAYMOND also possessed literary taste and talents. His Life of DattmoDV, the Irish Poet, 'does honour to his heart as well as to his under standing.. He was always active in the cause of benevolence, and ready to assist the views of un protected geniu's. Though almost incessantly einpioyed' in superintending the preparations for opening the season of Drury-Lane Theatre, which he attended early every morning for many months, - he yet found. or rather made, leisure to review the 'stores of former dramatic authors, and he di played to the writer of this article a large draw' r full of plays, neglected, but of great merit, whic;, with due adaptation to The manners of the preset t day, he lunl 'collected for the purpose of gra-dually. reviving. - In private lite Mr. RAYMOND was'Open, manly, and social, gentlemanly in his manner, intelligent, chearful, and though of • a convivibi.. awn, not inclined to indulge it to excesses that Might tend to render him unfit for the duties of his public Station ; mid in the performance of those duties he was not guided by partia lity, but animated by zeal for talents, anti a distribution of theatrical characters according to the therits of the respective candidates.— We lament to say that Mr. RAYMOND has left a wife and nine children', in circumstances that forcibly appeal to the benevolence of the Public: The Proprietors of the Theatre will, no doubt, : make an appeal to the Public at large in behalf cf the widow And orphans, and we are sure that the Theatrical' Community will feel an emulative zeal to render all the assistance in their power to pro mote so laudable a purpose. Mr. RAYMOND was a native of Scotland, and had but lately - reached the fiftieth year of his age. It gPres us great pleasure to find that the Glou cester and Berkeley, Canal, that great desidera tum to ;, the mercantile interest North of Glou cesterfr4s immediately to be resumed, with a certainty of its being finished within a very short period.
