New TRAGEDY.—We understand that a new Tragedy
has been received and approved of at Covent-garden. The
piece had a stage rehearsal yesterday, and will, of course,
be shortly presented to the public.
The mildness of the season depriving the holiday youths
of their wonted out-of-door amusements of skating, throw-
ing snow-balls, and other seasonable diversions, they are
left somewhat at a loss for amusement; for new panto-
mimes cannot be afforded every day, and the versatile taste
of young miuds would not relish a repetition of " More of
More IIall," or any other effort of genius, however splen-
did. We should suggest, therefore, in this predicament,
that all the new things round about the metropolis should
be shown them—the new churches and streets, for in-
stance, not forgetting the buildings in Regent's Park, and
while there, perhaps an boar or two could not he more
profitably employed than treating them with a peep at the
Diorama, where those who possess a love fur the arts would
receive such impressions from the two views now exhibit-
ing there, as would, in after life, be reckoned by them
among their most pleasing reminiscences.
We understand that on Saturday there was a numerous
assemblage of the corps diplatmatigue at the Foreign Office
in Downing-street. The Ambassadors from Austria, Rus-
sia, Prussia, and the several Representatives of the South
American Governments in this country were present. Af-
ter some prefatory remarks, Mr. Canning proceeded to
read a note, intended to be transmitted to the different
Courts, in substance announcing, that, after repeated
communication end correspondence with the Court of Ma-
drid, on the subject of the new Governments of South
America, his Britannic Majesty had came to the resolution
of recognising the independence of Mexico and Colombia;
and had therefore entered into Commercial Treaties with
these States. The information thus communicated was
intended to be announced with the usual formality to the
several Ambassadors, for transmission to their respective
Courts.—British Traveller. . _

It was reported yesterday, on the authority of a gentle..
man who left Callao on the 3th September, that battles
had taken place on the 29th and 30th elf August, between
the Royalists and Patriots, in which the latter had lost
4,000 men.
Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's, at Deal,
dated Jan. 1 :—" The Catherine, Forrest, arrived from
Valparaiso, sailed the 27th Sept., brings advice that the
Spaniards were, by the last accounts, in possession of Lima,
but it was expected the armies would soon meet. The
Asia Spanish line-of-battle ship was at Callao; and a brig,
under dpanish colours, had arrived at Arrics, with de-
spatches from thence. Ilia Majesty's ship Aurora would
sail from Valparaiso for England on the arrival of his
Majesty's ship Fly from Peru."
Letters from Bahia, dated Nov. 2, contain some details
of the events which led to the assassination of the Governor,
General Fillisberto Gomez e Caldeira, who, we understand,
is a relation of the Brazilian Envoy now in this country.
It appears that orders had arrived from Rio de Janeiro for
disbanding the Portuguese regiment stationed at Bahia, in
consequence of some doubts entertained of its fidelity to
the Emperor. The order was communicated to the officers
who comtnanded it, but who, not obeying with the promp-
titude insisted on, were placed under arrest. This irritated
the troops of that regiment so highly, that they took up
aims on the night of the 28111 of October, and marching
to the house of the Governor, murdered him in his bed.
After the perpetration of this act, with a levity not uncom-
mon among the soldiery of this part of the world, they re-
tired to their quarters, uttering cries or—" Live the Em-
peror !" On the event becoming known, the other regi-
ments were called out, by whose aid the mutinous soldiers
were disarmed without bloodshed, and lodged in safe
custody to await their punishment. The tranquillity of
Bahia ismaderstood to have been completely restored.
Axornza Moe !Nu 800 !—A respectable gentleman in
this town has received a letter from Ballymoney, dated
December 24, in which it is stated that the peaty matter,
Ballywindlin bog, situated about 24 miles from Ballymo-
ney, began to move on Wednesday last, and has already
covered about 40 acres of arable land, in some plac.i from
six to ten feet deep. S.Neral fir blocks have been thrown
up by the floating peat. We presume that some subter-
ranean stream, swollen by the late rains, which may have
penetrated to its channel through shallow and pervious
soil, has burst through its usual boundaries, risen to the
surface, and hurried the buggy matter in its precipitate
course, from its former site.—Beilizst News-Letkr.
Ott Saturday evening an unfortunate young woman,
who had come out of the Edinburgh Infirmary the same

pletely shattered. She hat since died.
