Miss MACAULZY. on taking leave of the room,
informed the company that she was about to cont-
inence an engagement at Covent-garden. We were
glad to hear this ; because we are convinced she
will prove no inconsiderable acquisition to that
theatre. Possessed of a good figure—of sin in-
telligent, animated countenance--and a voice of
great compass and variety, those .qualities, aided

says—
" The ?A:minis DE LA Tows MAupou RE, witl► his

The principal feature of the money market
dining the last week has been the very large sales
of money stock. They have produced a scarcity
of munry. and a depression. not only in the funds,
but in Exchequer bills.
In consequence of the great demand for silver,
the Bank have *ea round a notification to the dif-
ferent bankers, That in future their usual supply
.must be diminished one-third.
The High Bailiff of Westminster has agreed to
Ihr Requisition fora Netting, and it is supposed
that Wednesday next will be fixed upon.
A Reqoisiti is handing about for signature in
Southwark, for a Meeting of the Electors, respect-

It is a curious circumstance, that, independent
of his own Capitals, Btui should sell those of

nevertheless true. Mr. KATE, his agent at Liverpool,

" Mr. Ma,-,•or also mentions his having received informs-
lion that seven loinelrial persona attended the public meet-
ing belt' here on the 11th of October, ' with arms concealed
to resist the Civil Power.' Now, afillsongh his Worship de-
clined acceding to the wishes of the Requisitionists, to call
the said nie•cinsg, yet he received their deputation with the
utmost affability, assured them that no obstacle shoal.' be
offered to then intentions, mid ' I shall endeavoor to
be present myself, and, if any disturbance he thole, I am
sure that nine-tenths of you will assist rne its preserving the
peace, or words to that effect. Those who auricled the
meeting were gratified with this jest compliment—they coth
filed in his trorship's bunnur—they apprehend'," no insult
or interruption in the exercise of their legal rights. IA it,
therefore, piubable that they would come armed by hundreds,
with the intention of resisting a power from which they
were promised, and expected protection?
" We admire his Worship's private character, and approve
gearrally of his public conduct; but in this business he has
been most grossly deceived by wicked asset ele,igning men.
The Veformers in o slate of almost rebellion r Why, we
challenge our most inveterate political opponents to adduce
a single instance in which we have evinced a spirit of dis-
loyalty ; nor has any iwthwidual ainiorzst us been ever
charged, even on suspicion, of acting illegally. On what
grounds. then, are we stigmatized with harbouring rebel-
lions designs? Our meetings are open to au strangers, and
sometimes we have been honoured with the company of Of-
flees.. of the Police--our books and papers clay be inspected
by any person who chooses—in eves), transaction we have
conducted ourselves openly amid candidly, and are at all
times ready to submit to the must rigorous iavestigatiou of
our siewsand procereliogs.
". lf, indeed, it be rebellious to feel deeply interested in
the cause of justice and humanity—to arcrille the existing
misery and discontent to a usenstrous system of misrule, and
to insist that all our political evils proceed from a corrupt
state of the represeutation, then do we proudly and boldly
plead guilty to the charge. Every feeling of our natio c rises
in opposition to the shameful and intolerable usurpations of
the Boroughmongers; and, le, the last throb of lite. we will
resist that system which, has reduced our belayed • try to
a state of peril and wretcliedoess.
" We are sorry to observe in Mr. Mayor's communication
to the Secretary of State, an attempt tee mix up thi• question of
Reform with the eudeavuors of the Keelmen In oppose the
impositions of their employers, and with that sudden chulO•
lion of popular indignation at Shields, its consequence of a
fellow-creature having kern (as it was supposed) UUlleCeSSA-
ri!v deprived of existence. These arc disticct things, as Lord
Dailisigion candidly intimate., feud would never have been
confounded hy his Worship, had his judgment cut been misled
by conning, violent, and unprincipled men.
"lentil we read his Worship's strange letter we were
totally ignorant of our friends, the " Porgemen," of a
ueighbolie ing willng•e being armed, and of manufacturing
anus ; and we do sincerely :relieve that his Worship has been
misinformed on this subject likewise. We are not quite
such fools as it is supposed. We know that every English.
man has a legal right of heiag openly possessed of arms,
sad that to be secrefie armed is unlawful. If, therefore, we
fell it necessary to have arms in self.defenre, we would
pur-
chase them openly and intliwithially, and hang them up in
our houses without fear or conceahincet. We are, however,
deeply impressed with the dreatlf•il consequences of au
appeal to force, and the object of our union is not Resole,-
tiou, but Reform, in orthr to prevent a convulsion. Nur
do we feel impatient, being convioced that the present rotten
system mast soon iambic into ruins—a change is inevitable,
from the mom/ and financial state of the country, and new
measures of coercion will only hasten the catastrophe.
" From his Worship's letter you will easily perceive what
degree of credit ought to be attached to the official and
anonymous eummunicatious, upon the authority of which it
is intended to abridge our remaining liberties ; and we rho
assure you, that what has bee's stated respecting the Re-
formers of this town and neighbourhood, is most false ;
arid bad it not been fur the cnnst•quences, would have been
most contempt dile.
I am, Sir, with sentiments of respect,
Your most obedient Servant,

Quebec Papers to the 28th October, which
have arrived, state the death of Joust CAMPBELL,
Esq. of Auchenaillie, Argyllshire, Scotland, after
a lung and severe illness, at Bet; thew', near Three
Rivers. on the I Ith of that month.
Mr. FARR, chief boatman, and his crew, sta-
tioned nt Osinington, near Weymouth, have seized
a cutter with 170 casks of spirits. having on board
three Frenchmen and two Eiiglishmett, who have
since been committed to Dorchester gaol.
On Monday arrived at Smilieroptun the French
cutter L'Union, of St. Nlaloes, from Guernsey,
seized by Mr. THOMAS COWER, Sitter of the
Customs host there, with 35 chests of tea.
She is a remarkably tine cutter, of about 70 tons,
and fitted up in the English style for the accommo-
dation of passengers, being a regular passage vessel
between St. Motors and Guernsey. The tea has
been secured in the Custom-house.
Dreadful gales have occurred on the Welsh
coasts. The Merioneth, of Cardiff. with iron, is
lost in Bridgwater Bay ; crew sewed. The brig
Albion, of Cardigan, Deems. master, struck on
u reef of rocks off Wexford, and shortly after went
to pieces. 'rue long boat, with the master and nine '
men, was lost. The brig Priscilla, of Carmarthen,
Captain Pus LI.IPS, front Ireland to Prinbrey,
in
ballast, was driven, during the gale on Saturday
night, on Llanelly Sands.
The person who lately assumed the name of
Captain Phipps, of the Royal Bevy, and whom we
mentioned in our lest Paper to have been committed
to Wilton g anal, on a charge of swindling, was
brought before the Magistrates at Taunton. fur
further examination, on Friday last, when, at Ins
own request, lie was remanded until %Verluestlay. It
appeared that his Dame is not Phipp.s, but that he
belongs to a respectable Lundy in the west of Eng-
land, and has served many years in the army and
navy, having been iu moat of the battles on the
Continent, iu the years 1811, 12, and 13. On ex-
atninution this day (Wednesday) he wits fully com-
mitted fur trial. I lie Prisoner's real name proves
to be Warion.--(Taunion Courier.)
A blacksmith, who resides in a court off Drury.

of inebriety and quarrelled with his wife. The

ceived so much injury she flied in the course of the.
night. The husband is iu custody.
