was owing to want of information on the subjtfct. Fo far u he

lIATTON-GARDEN.

Mr. Henry Butterworth, the Common Councilman of Far.
ringdon Without, attended before the sitting Magistrate yesterday,
in order to explain his conduct, in regard to a paragraph which had
appeared a tew days since In all the Papers. and which charged
that he ()Ir. Butterworth) had been guilty of purloining •
cushion and hassock from a pew in St. John's chapel, Bedford-row.
Mr. Butterworth stated that lie only attired in town on Thursday
afternoon, and had thought it his duty, in the first instance, before
the Magistrate, to explain all that he had dune. The complaint,
he observed, was made by Mr. Kenton, a gentleman unknown to
him except as being a fellow.worshipper in the same chapel ; the
cushion and hassoik in question were on purchased, with
other articles of pew-furniture, jointly by him (Mr. Butterworth),
Dr. Blake, and a Mr. Sabine . • Dr. Blake had left the chapel, as
had also Mr. Sabine, and he (Mr. Butterworth) had not attended
for the last two years, in consequence of his having attended regu-
larly at St. Dunstan'a, and the cushion, &c. being clearly his, he,
about two months since, sent his servant to fetch them away.
During the droc that he had not attended the chapel 111 r. Kenton
' and his family were permitted to occupy the pew and use the
cushion ; and as there was.one of another description belonging to
Mr. Kenton in the chapel he had mistaken the one in ()oration for
his own. Ile did Lot wish to accuse Mr. Kenton of having made a
false charge, hut ccnsidered that he certainly must labour under a
mistake, as there could not be the least doubt of the cushion, &c.
being his (Mr. Butterworth's) property, and he was only anxious
that, as the statement of Mr. Kenton had gone forth to the world,
It should be publicly contradicted.
Mr. Bourns, the Magistrate, fully concurred In this, bat at
the same time observed, that no one who had read the report
alluded to, and knew Mr. Bucerwotth, could entertain the most
remote opinion unfavourable to him : he added, that he believed
Mr. Kenton had of late suffered much distrait of mind. owing to
the death of his wife, which might, to a grey ettent, account for
his extraordinary application to the 31sgistrate• ; but he (311.
itrigra) did not conceive that Mr. Butterwurdes conduct stood the
limit in need of justification.
Mr: Butterworth then left the office.

DUTCH POSSESSIONS IN THE EAST.

Extract of a letter from Batavia, received yesterday,
dated Sept. 15:—
" The Javanese are in a general state of insurrection,
particularly in the southward and middle districts, where
several thousands of the natives were assembled in arms,
and receiving no check from the Dutch Government, in
consequence of the great reduction of their troops, such
large requisitions having ken made for their Macassar
expedition. The numbers of the insurgents are daily in-
creasing, and assume a more menacing aspect.
" An expedition has gore out against them from fla-
marang, which has been repulsed with loss, and some
English resident has been killed. A general panic exists
at 13atavis, Samarang, and Sourabya. Every European
resident has been ordered out on duty for the protection of
their respective settlements, All intercourse with the in-
, terior is cut off.

" Ihe general opinion ia, that without a timely supply
of troops the European population will be driven into the

ocean.

" At Padang the Malays were rising in all directiors,
and the military are quite insufficient to suppress them ;
the inhabitants here have also been put in requisition for
the protection of the city."

PROVINCIAL. BANKS.

WISBEACII BANK.

Monday being the tlitYS44;int4birMessrs. James Hill
and Son, bankers, of IS'isheach, to commence paying off
their one-pound notes, the bank was crowded at an early
hour by persons from all parts of the neighbouring country,
anxious to be among the first of the applicants. Their
hopes, however, were soon dissipated by the active circula-
tion of the following notice:—
" WISDEACIt Box it—Disappointed of making oar resources
I available, and of redeeming the pledge given by us to the public,
we are under the painful necessity of requesting their further indul-
gence, which we trust will be required fot a short time only. The
extreme difficulty which exists at the present moment of converting
property into money, in consequence of the numerous failures in
the banking and commercial world, renders this step unavoidable,
but we hope on an early day to proceed with the payment of all our
notes and deposits in full.

"JAMES HILL and SON."
The circulation of the above produced the greatest con-
sternation among the crowd, particularly with those who
had come a great distance for the express purpose of chang-
ing their notes. The day, however, passed off (contrary
to general expectation) quietly, and towards the afternoon
the crowd began to separate and return to their respective
homer.—Stamfori News.
London, England, 1826-01-07

CAMBRIDGE BANK.

Messrs. Hollick, Nash, Searle and Co. commenced pay-
ing off their one-pound notes on Saturday last, and con-
tinued paying on Monday morning, but in the afternoon of
Monday the bank was again closed, and no further pay-
ments have been made. It is reported that a docket
has been struck against the firm. The amount of their
notes in circulation was very considerable, and the final
stoppage of the hank occasions no slight inconvenience and
distress to a large portion of the public, although it is con-
fidently asserted that the assets will fully cover the &-
minis of their creditors.—Cusilridge Chrunicle.

DEAL BANKS.
On Tuesday morning a meeting of the creditors of
Messrs. May and Co. was held at the bank. when a very
satisfactory exposition of the state of their affairs was sub-
mitted to them by Mr. May, not less flattering to himself and
partners than favourable to the interests of the public.
The prevailing impression, founded on unexaggerated
statements, is, that there are sufficient assets to satisfy
every claim on the bank, to the uttermost farthing, pro-
vided no injudicious expenses are incurred. During the
late run upon the Deal bank of Messrs. 'hikes, in comic-
'pence of the sudden and unexpected failure of the bank
of Messrs. May and Co. and while the impatient creditors
were in crowds in and about the banking-house, and the
alarm was at its height, a gentleman of Deal entered the
bank, and emptied a hat full of sovereigns upon the
counter. The effect of this act of friendship and generosity
was instantaneous; the holders of the mites seeing the
confidence which their townsman bad in the hank, imme-
diately retired : the panic, as it respected Messrs. Hulkea
bank, ceased, and confidence was shortly restored.

ASHBURTON BANK.
On Monday last, agreeably to notice for that purpose,
the highly-respectable banking-house of ssrs. Browne
and Co. of Ashburton, was again opened for the purpose
of paying off their notes. These gentlemen, with a large
body of friends, took their station behind the counter, and
it was a gratifying scene to see every one satisfied by the
receipt of their cash. The firm of this establishment, by
their prompt attention and honourable conduct towards
the public, will be long held in remembrance, and tbry
will retire from a concern with the highest credit to them-
selves, regretted by their friends and connexions. An
arrangement is now effecting for the purpose of paying off
their deposit notes by two instalments, one half in six
months, and the other half in twelve months, allowing
five per cent. interest.—Treirman's Flying Port rf Ezeter.

SPAIN.

The Peninsula has just lost, nearly at the same time,
the two warmest partisans of the ultra-montane doctrines
and absolute power. The first, Don Masi, Counsellor to
the King and Archdeacon of the Chapter of Toledo, died
in this diocese about the 16th December last, leaving
vacant a place which yields an income of n<Arly a hundred
sad thirty thousand teak The second, Don Carlos da
Cunha, Cardinal, Patriarch of Lisbon, Marquis de Olhao,
Compte de Castra-Morins, and a Counsellor of State, died
on the 14th of last month, at the palace of Jonquera, at
66 years of age. He leaves many debut, although he was
possessor of an immense fortune. The first has played
some part in the political intrigues of Spairr, and recently
made a new attempt upon the King to obtain the dismissal
of the police and the re-establiahment of the Inquisition.
The other played a more active pan in affairs. He was
the head Counsellor to the Queen and the Infant Don
Miguel. lle was exiled during the Government of the
Cortes, and took refuge in Bayonne. His name was seri-
ously compromised in the events of the 31st March, and
he has since then exercised less influence than formerly.
We have before us a letter from Lisbon of the 18th Dec.
which informs us that his fuheral did not excite public
sorrow, although as sumptuous as possible. Soldiers,
priests, and tnonla, in full costume, accompanied it to the
ringing of twelve hundred bells.

Dot; Carlo da Cunha, besides his pablig duties, is said
to have exerebed several hidden ones ; he lea% it is
said, at once Supreme Chief of the 'Reforming zNaciety
of Portugal, a corresponding member of the Apostdie
Junta in Spain, a Grand Dignitary of the French Church,
and lastly the private agent of all the secret wishes of the
Court of Rome.

LITERATURE.

TIIE FATHER'S GUIDE IN THE SELECTION OF A
SCHOOL FoR Ills SON.
London : Wnittakers, IfIN. Price 3s. rid.
This is a publication of small price and little pretension,
but it fully accomplishes its purpose, and of the utility of
that purpose there can he but one opinion. The grammar
behools of this country have furnished almost all that there
is of classical attainment in this land so famed for learning;
sod their foundation might in a hand highly qualified make
up most instructive portion, even of our national history.
The work before us, however, has no such aim. Its
limited object is well espressed by the author. It is to
assist gentlemen of moth rare fortunes, desirous of educating
their children in a respectable manner, to discos( r at what
schools Hilt object may be attained with the greatest chance
of success. We du nut pre eisely understand the ingenious
author when he speaks or his production as " affording a
panoramic view cf tb^ University advantages attached to
every seminary in England," awl. were it not eaphonice
Arratia, we conceive:the epithet might advantageously he
omitted. The accurate and ample information, however,
which the author has culleeteil, through impediments,
which, we regret to percei nt! from his postscript, have been
Apposed to his useful design, would atone for much more
formidable dt limit:cue:es of style than are to be found in
the volume before us.
It may green :o partaken!' the marvellous, but it is never-
theless within our own knowledge, that parents have not
seldom sent their sons 14 the University, and entered them
at one Colleg.., while they were entitled, from the accident
of birth or education, to advantages at another, of which
these parents were utterly ignorant. Nay, further, we
have heard of a cast. in which a Cambridge man discovered
that at his otsn College he was entitled to an exhibition of
701. per annum,. hot it was to h im " discerning as in a
glass, darkly," since he had just assumed the hood and
Eonours of a senior optimist. The perusal of this small
work must prevent the recurrence of such " a misery of
human life."
As a specimen of the core and intelligence exhibited
throughout " The Father's Guide," we shall present to
our readers the account of The Grammar Schoal at
14ridgenortli.

SIM PSON'S ROYAL ELIXIR OF LlFE.—This
Medicine, from its balsamic and restorative qualities, fully
merits the above name. It was originally prepared by a Physician
of the French Court for a late King of France, and the recipe having
been purchased by the present Proprietor, Is most faithfully adhered
to. For flatulence, Spasms, or Gout in the Stomach, its beneficial
effects are unrivalled, as it gives immediate' relief in such cues;
and no persons subject to those alarming complaints ought to be
without it. It promotes appetite, and gradually restores digestion
in cases of nervous debility, whether occasioned by a long residence
in tropical climates, natural deficiency of energy in the mums, or
from a too luxurious mode of life. This Elixir will be found, on a
sufficient trial, a never-failing restorative to tons and vigour. Gen-
tlemen whowcasionally exceed the strict bounds of temperance will,
by taking • doseof this Elixir on retiring to rest, exempt themselves
ronn the usual unpleasant effects of such excess the following day.
This Medicine is also used by distinguished orators of the Senate,
the Pulpit, and the liar, as it revives the frame and restores the
I voice when painful exhaustion is produced by lung declamation:;
and at the same time is so perfectly innocent, that the most delicate
females and children may take it without tear or alteration of their
accustowedhabit±. . . . . _

It IS sold in Bottles at lla each, including stamp, by J. V.
Simpson (acting Proprietor)), No. 28, Henrietta-street, Covent.
garden, London; at the Libraries at•most• fashionable watering-
places and towns of public resort ; and by the principal Medicine
Vatters throughout the Mutat Kingdom.

On Monday last, Messrs. llartland issued a notice at
Tewkesbury, in which they state that " they are actively
engaged in completing arrangements, which, they trust,

" We, the undersigned, having been requested by Mews. Na-

derable unincumbered private property belonging to the individual
members of the firm.

THE RESURRECTION _VEN.

(From the Lisirpool Ccuri,
Siree our last several psniculars have transyned relatieg.to fif
hos rid discovery. - A mem named William 4ilksyyie,. a Scotebrean,
by trade a blacksmiths .V7e, •ippprel.eviled on de above chime,
and netierwent a private examination before the Mayor on Wed:
nestlav last. This man was iu the employ of Messrs. Fawcett foal
Preston, and -was recugniatsi by Mr. 3l'Llowetn as the person who
had brought him a letter, purporting to he signed "John Hen.
&runt," in June last. Three of the delinquents lodged at the
bonne of the prisoner, in Caroline-roux, Watkinson-tereet.
His answers to the aue-oioas put to kin were so vague and
unsatiafactory, that his Worship committed hint, to take his triat
fur the offence.
By the active exertiors of the police, another of the parties.
who, it would appear, has been a chief actor in thin heart-
sickening affair, was apprehended on Sittuday night Lat. Ora
Monday he underwent an examination before the Mayer, in the
Town Hall, and erse in his name as James Donaldson.
The deposition of Mr. 51ionten, taken an Tuesday, the Wh
inst., was read over, in which the reverend gentleman mates,- the'
in July last he let the cellar to a man who called himself John
Henderson, anti who agreed to pay him 1-11. per annum, n be paid
in advance. A few months Mier, llentltrson introduced anothe
man, and stated that he was going to Manchester, and would have
occasion to be away NM: time, and that, in bit abeenee, his
friend would pay the rent. That he had not seen Henderson
since. In June last the money was not paid when doe, and an-
other man called with a letter, signed "John Henderson," stating
that he was sorry the money had not bctn paid at the time, but he
hoped that he (NIT. liPtiowan) would think him good Stinnett for
the rent ;" and wishing to know if Mr. M`Gowan could et* let
him have the cellar. Ile was not in at the time, but his wife re-
ceived the letter, and he left word with her, that when the man
called, she might say they might have the cellar, as he did not want
it. The man called, end got his answer from Mrs. 534.10 wan,
who never sour hint: at?.erwards. .
Alien which, the deposition of George Leech, the carter, whic:t
we published last week, having been read, Leech', upon bein-:
atked by the Mayor whether he knew the prisoner, said hr was
sure Donaldson was one of the persons who assisted him to get the
casks out of the cellar.
John Ilindley and his wife deposed to having frequently seen the
prisoner in the cellar.
Two young gentlemen, pupils of Mr. Ill'Oowan, also provs.l
that the prisoner was one of the men who had been engaged in the
cellar: and one of them said he went Into the cellar lest Monday
week, and was put out he Donaldson.
The
*prisoner, when called on for his defence, merely said. It
was I.
The Mayor said he must commit him, to take his trial at the
approacbing Sessions ; but as it was a misdemeanour, it he could
tind bail for his appeararce in two sureties of 250/. each, and him-
self in 500/., lie would release him.

INSURRECTION IN COLOMBIA.

BOSTON, Juwr 3.
The further intelligence we have been looking 'Of from Venezuela
for several drys, has at length been furnished by an arrival at
Baltimore; and we are glad to find that the objects as well as the
effects of the late insurrection are not so bad as some fuund yea-
, son to apprthend. The discontent was among the troops at Va-
lencia, from the command of' which General Paez had just been
removed, in ereer to ne rt I is accusat ons at Bogota ; and it is
also due to him to state, that he was restored to his office by the
public authorities before he resumed his station. It further ap.
pears, that there is no Spanish spirit in this movement : the rein.
lutioniats only wishing to make Venezuela a state subject to the
national Congress.
The schooner, Ella, Sayward, has arrived at Baltimore, in 15
days from Lagitira, bringing letters and papers to the 15th May.
'l' ney furnish a confirmation of the news published in our Ism
paper from that quarter.—We copy from the Baltimore Gazette
the following articles:—
Venezuela is in an unsettled state, owing to a revolt of the di.
vision of the army under Generals Paez and 3latitio, which
originated in an order issued by the Colombian Government, For
General Paez to repair to Bogota. to answer certain allegations pre.
(erred against him. On this being made known to the army, of
which he is the Cotrnander-in.chief for that province, they urged
the General to resist, asserting that that district had been bur.
tinned with an 'over-proportion of the public taxes, &c. Pats
hating the whole military force at his command, and being
popular with them, issued his proclamation, announcing the inde-
, pendenee of Venezuela. Ile was in Cumana, and was expected
every day at Laguayra. The Governor of Porto Cabello declined
joining the enterprize, and an officer of the army was put in his
place. The garrison of Lagnatra followed the lead, Ray 200 men.
In the mealtime the rebels l•ad levied a contribution on the city of
Caracas of 50,0011 dollars, to be paid forthwith, or they would come
and collect it. They draw on the Custom House for present et.
penaes.
It always has been a favourite maxim with Bolivar. that the
State Governments of Colombia should be completely amalgamated
in that of the general Government, and as this opinion has been
formed from a perfect knowledge :f the nature of the confederacies,
it is not likely it will be quietly relinquished in consequence of the
rev..lt of General Paez.—The early arrival of Bolivar in the Re.
public will be looked for with intense anxiety by the friends of
order ; and it is deeply to be It merited that af.er all the toils ard
dangers which he has encountered, in the cause of liberty, any cir-
cumstance should occur to mar the happiness of his return.

AMERICAN PAPERS.

FROM THE CAPE 0F GOOD HOPE.

We are indebted to Captain Smith, of the ship Superior, which
arrived yesterday, for a file of the South African Commercial Ad-
vertiser, to the lith of April. The Mandeline had arrived there
from Ceylon. She spoke on the 10th of February, his Majesty's
ship Tamar, which sailed from Rangoon on the 22d of Jauuary
her commander stated positively that there was no foundation for
the reported peace; but that on the contrary. hostili:ies were carry-
ing on with increased vigour. I Our latest direct Intelligence from
Calcutta is to the 20th of January, which brought advices from
Rangoon to the lath, containing the particulars of the capitulation
of the Burmese; we are therefore disposed to believe that there is
some mistake as to dates in the preceding information.)
Very severe weather was experienced at the Cape during Mardi
and April, and several British vessels were lost.
The British sloop of war Athol, Capt. J. A. Murray, arrived in
Simon's Bay on the 17th of March, from Sierra Leone. She cap-
tured on the 2d of February, the Brazilian brig Active, having on
board 108 slaves ; took 18 of her crew, and sent the vessel to Sierra
Leone.

The Superior touched at St. Helena to land the mail, and dc-
