the new Commander-in-Chief at Jamaica. It appears, by
a letter received from an officer on hoard his Majesty's
ship Leven, that the experiments proposed by Mr. Barlow,
of the Royat Military Academy, for correcting the effects
of local attraction, have been attended with the best pers.
sible anecess. It is slated, that, in a run of 18:1
between the -2241 and 23d of May, the error by the com-
mon reckoning amounted to 19
23 minutes In longitude, making au entire difference of at
least 34 miler in distance; whereas the reckoning kept
agreeably to the course corrected by Mr. Barlow's Wino
produced au error of only 2 minutes in laiittide, and 4
minutes in longitude. The particulars are stated as fol-
low; place by observation May 23:—.
Lat. 3i deg. 39 N. Lung. 10 deg. 58 W. by common reck-
oning.
Lat. 38 deg. 58 N. Long. 11 deg. 25 W. by corrected
course.
Lat. 38 deg. 41 N. Long. 11 deg. 2. W.
Similar experiments were made on Monday last, in oar
hat boor, by order of the Admiralty, by Mr. Barlow, on
board his Mqiesty's ship Conway (Capt. Basal Hall); and
as this vessel is expected to visit satious parts of the
southern hemisphere, it will completely decide the ques-
tion of the application of this mode of correction in all
latitudes.

CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY, limy 31.
We have had several large arrivals of Wheat from our own
coast since this day week, the demand for which was very trifling,
and the finest samples submitted to a reduction of from es. to S.
per quarter, at which reduction there were very few buyers.—
Ihe supply of Barley was very small, and no alteration in the
trice% of last week. The supply of Oats is large having had sonic
good arrivals from Essex and Kent during the last week, and
the finest samples are ts. per quarter lower, the inferior descrip-
tions being Ys. per quarter lower. In Beans there is very little

GRAND SHIP LAUNCH AT CHATHAM.

Wednesday being the day appointed for the launch
of the Trafalgar, 11'2 gun ship, the towns of
Stroud, Rochester, and Chatham, assumed an ap-
pearance of the utmost gaiety, owing to the great
influx of fashionable company which was every mo-
ment arriving, and of which the fair sex formed no
inconsiderable portion. The morning was ushered
in by the ringing of bells, &c. and preparations wer
every where observable for a splendid fete. From
an early hour in the morning, till about one o'clock,
the streets were continually blocked by cavalcades
of various descriptions, from the high blooded peer
and his four-in-hand equipage, down to the more
cautious cockney, and his chaise cart, and all seemed
actuated by an equal curiosity.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence rose
early, and after breakfast visited various parts of the
town, in company with Earl Darnley, . Lord Bin-
ning, Admiral Sir John Gore, Sir Robert Barlow,
&c. &c. after which his Royal Highness returned to
the Admiral's house to prepare for the fatigues of
the day.
The gates of the Dock Yard were thrown open to
the public at twelve o'clock; but none were admit-
ted to the canopied seats without a ticket from the
principal Commissioners. To heighthen the beauty
of the scene, the hills on each side of the Medway
were sprinkled with the country people, and plea-
sure boats and sailing gullies glided along the smooth
surface of the water, in great numbers. We regret
that want of time compels us to be brief in our de-
scription. About two o'clock his Royal Highness
and party arrived amidst the most enthusiastic greet-
ings, and in a few minutes afterwards, the usual
preparations being ready, the Trafalgar was raised
from her moorings and shot into the water like an
arrow, whilst both sides of the river re-echoed the
joyous shouts of the assembled multitude.
It is understood that she is to be towed to Ports-
mouth to be masted, and afterwards to proceed im-
mediately to sea.
His Royal Highness afterwards dined with Sir J.
Gore, and a distinguished party.

We copy from a Berlin article the following
passage, verbatim:—" On the 30th September a
feast was given to the dragoons of the Queen's'
regiment. This attention of his Majesty towards
the above corps is un aeditioaal proof of the oat:-
tionate remembrance which our King cher:s:les for
.a wife who was so dear to his heart, id su
adored by his subjects. What an interesting ex•
ample also is thus presented to his people by a

Sovereib-n who unites the char:a:ter, of a gooLl
hu,band and a good father! What a contrast is
there between this picture and the scam/atoms. pro-

*maims under withlt England grvans, and which

disgusts all upright minds by the insult which it
offers to the majesty of the S wcregn power !"

is indeed curious that the British Gevcrosnicnt

should alone be insensible to those consequences
with which its sict,; are considered pregnant by
every other State in Europe.

Austrian territory. Letters were said to have been
written by the King of Naples to the Emperor

CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, DEC. R.
Our Market still continues to be well supplied with Wheat.
having had several good arrivals since Monday's, for which.
however, there was not a very brisk demand, except for the finest
samples, which obtained Monday's prices. We were weU sup-
plied with Barley. but there appeared to be but few purchasers,
consequently a reduction of Is. per quarter may be quoted for the
finest samples, but for the inferior qualities there were no offers,
although a still further reduction was submitted to. The trade
in Oats was very heavy. and Is. per quarter cheaper. In Beans,
Peas, ace. there was no alteration.

DIMLY LANE.

On Thursday night a new drama in five sets,
called The Hebrew, wa• produced at this Theatre.
It is fininded upon a principal incident in the last
new Novel, called Ivanhoe and closely resembles
the pieces which have been brought out, with less
merit us to scenery, and acting at some of the minor
Theatres.

The principal character, that of the Hebrew,
was sustained by Mr. Kean. The dramatizer of
the novel takes several liberties with this character,
for the purpose of adapting it to the well known
peculiarities o the great actor, but the ettint was
not. quite successful. In some scenes, however,
there was now and then a glimpse of the powers of
Kean, who entered upon the character with as
much energy as if every line had undergone his
own revision. Mrs. West played the Jews Daugh-
ter, and was much apvlauded. The other per-
formers (lid their utmost.

The piece improves as it advances to a close, and
will, we trust, prove profitable to the manager ; but
it struck, us, that the beautiful scenery, which
called huth most of the applause that was given,
might have been bestowed upon some more worthy
proiuction. A number of persons are to be seen
frequently upon the stage without having any
business there, and of course when they leave it
they cannot help doing so in the shabbiest manner
possible. There are two or three songs by Was
Car?Av and others in the commenceimmt.

The piece was given out tar repLtuion amilat•
general applause
CoVENT GARDESI.

Thursday night a new musical drama, called
Ivanhoe; or, 'l'/w Knight Temp/.r was performed
the lirst time at this Theatre, founded on the
Novel of that name. The author of the hater has
left the dramatist little to do, as it full of interest,
and the plot is b 0 regularly developed, that by
closely following the original, there could have
been no doubt of success The character of the
✓ew is drawn with a masterly hand and was very
ably performed by Mr. W. Fatten, who received
very flattering and deserved applause. M. C.
Kemble, us leanboe, and Mr. Macready, as the
Knight Templar, were both a powerful support to
the piece; the exertions of these two gentlemen
mainly contributed to the great success of the plvy,
and we should do less than justice if we did not
pronounce their perthrmance of the two characters
allotted to them peculiarly happy spec mens of the
histrionic art. Liston was irresitahly comical in
Wamba, the Jester. Miss Stevens imparted a con-
siderable degree of interest to the character of
&WWI, and sang with great sweetness, feeling and
effect. The drama, throughout, was exceedingly
well pertiirmed ; and the music, chicf.y z.elected
from the works of Stotace, could not hid to please.
—The scenery is uncommonly beautiful and
picturesque, and the whole was brought to a very
effective climax by the destruction of the Castle of
Sir Reginald. .1 he Piece, which was most favour-
ably received, promises to be very productive to •
this Theatre.

FRENCH PAPERS.

That our readers may ihrm an idea of the reliance
they ought to place in the correetness of the French
Papers, we give them the thllowing literally trans-
lated accounts of the detection of the Catu Street
conspiracy.
February 46. P. S. 10 tick& at night.
Very important news from London, contained in
en Extraordinary Ga.:ette, arrived to•night et the
English Embassy, and was immediately communi-
cated to his Majesty. It appears that the Radicals,
informed that all the Ministers were to dine at
Lord Ilarrowby's, had finned the design of assassi-
nating them there, Smythers and 'f histlewood
were at the head of this plot. The conspiracy was
discovered at the moment of execution. The con-
spirators, surprised in a tavern where they had as-
*alibied, extinguished the light, and defended
themselves for a long time with the arms with
which they were provided to attack the house of
Lord Harrowby, In the combat which took place
between them and the agents of authority several
persons were killed, and among the rest two con..
stables. Nine of the conspirators are taken ; among
the rest Sinythers. Thistlewoed has succeeded in
effecting his escape; a rewure, of 1,0001 is offered
thr his apprehension. T 1,3 papers seized on the
conspirators contsil the plan of the revolution
which the Radicals were pr:paritoz• to effect in Eng-
hnd. Thus, from one end of I.urope to the
o her, crimes extend and wisirculate. The secret
societies and Sand/is:a of Z._'erinury ; the Liberates
of Spain ; the Carbonari of Italy ; the Eadicats of
England; and the Liter, .: of 1 ranee, all are dis-
contented, all are prep.red, and never has social
order been menaced by 'greeter dangers.—Journal
drs Debuts

A courier arrived to-night at ti-e hotel of the
English Embassy, who brings intelligence, that,
6 the day of the 2A, a very rcrious conspiracy
wa to have burst forth. Its alm was nothing less li
th nto rush, sword in hard, into Caziton-litnise,
at the moment when Ministers were assembled
th re in presence of the Lirg, and to kill his Ma-
,jo ty and the principal age :a of Government! The
fir intimation of the conspiracy was "iven by the
L ird Mayor. The constaLles end Horse Guards
w..re sent to a house in Piccadilly, where the con_
spirators were assembled ; the latter were armed,
and ready to march upon Carlton-house. A com-
bat began ; nine of the conspirators were killed on
the spot, 26 were arrested ; the famous Thistle-
w, 01, who succeeded in escaping, has since beea
taken ; the police are in pursuit of others, and a
description of them was instantly sent to all foreign
Governments !!! The Lord .Isivor has issued a
proclamation to the inhabitants of London to re-
move their fears, and to caliort them to watch
over the safety of the King, and the maintenance
of the public tranquillity !—Quotidienne.

While Sheridan shall live in fame,

Reflecting on the sailed woe
Too oft the fate of those below,

That dazzled Prudence shuns the sight ;

Dar'd the hard flings of Law control,
When its rode agents would presume
On Genius sinking to the tomb;

And anxious wateli'd the parting breath :
So long be elass'il among the band
Whose worth and knowledge grace the land,
And make us deem we see again
GOOD SAMARITAN, in BAIN.

Mas. JORDAN..—It is very true, that during the resi-
dence of this fascinating actress near Boulogne, and sub-
sequently near Paris, Mrs. Jordan lived under the as-
sumed name of Mrs. James. In the most splendid era of,
her life, Nln. Jordan was fond of retirement. On her
departure for France, she was neither in good health nor
spirits; and in changing her name, her object was the
free enjoyment of greater privacy than, as Alm. Jordan,
she could have expected in the great influx of English to
that part of France.
A letter from an English Gentleman at Boulogne, of the
13th, states, that Mery serious disturbance, in which some
British Officers were implicated, occurred on the pre-
ceding evening at the Theatre of that place. Several of
our Oilicers who went to the Theatre were, as usual, in-
dulged with permission to go Lehind the scenes ; when a
Lieutenant of Dragoons, who was inebriated, took liber-
ties with the performers, stripping the handkerchief from
the neck of one of them ; which being resented, led to
the affray which ensued. A scuffle took place, blows
were struck on both sides, the perfiirmances were sus-
pended, and the Guards were sent for. These speedily
arrived with their Commandant at their bead, but the
disorder had risen to too violent a height to be suppressed
by their appearance. On the contrary, it seemed rather
to have increased the tumult :—" the French soldiery
began, it is stated, to act in bilpport of their Command-
ant, whose epaulettes Oase imprudent young men had
torn from his shoulders. One of our Officers, a Lieu-
tenant, received three wounds in different parts of his
lxxly ; from which, however, it is expected and hoped he
will recover, as he was deemed the most inoffensive of
the party. Gem Vivian was expected at Boulogne for
the purpose of assisting iu the investigation; anal no doubt
but that whatever is due to our military discipline and
national character will be done. The Officers were here
on leave of absence, and not on duty."

The opening of the Germani* Dust, is postponed till
the middle of next month.

PROLOGUE TO BERTRAM.

WRITTEN nY JOHN lIOnHOUSE, ESQ.—SPOKEN BY MR. RAt.
Taught by your judgment, by your favour
The grateful stage restord her mighty dead.
But slot, when wits of ages past revive,
Shall living genius therenae cease to thrive?
No !—the some liberal zeal that fondly tries
To save the poet though the mortal dies,
Impartial welcomes each illustrious birth,
And justly crowns cotemporary worth.
This night a Bard, who, yet, alas! has known
01 conscious merit but the pangs alone;
Through dark misfortune's gloom condoun'd to cope
With battled effort, and with blighted hope,
Still dares to think one friendly- voice shall cheer
Has sinking soul, and thinks to hail it here;
Fann'd by the breath of praise, his spark offe
Still, still may glow and burst into a same
Nor yet with British candour mock the toil
That rutted a laurel on our sister 50i1...-
That soil to farcy's gay luxuriance kind
That soil which teems wills each aspiring mind,
Rich iu the traits of glory's ripening silo,
Nurse of the brave—the laud of WELLINGTON,
Here, too, this night another candidate
Aspires to please, auil trembles for her fate—
• And, as the dower n lose ever constant gaze
Turns to her sun au 1 wooes the genial blaze,
To vour kind eyes our blushing suppliant h rusks,
Aud courts the light that beams from smiling friends;
! calm the condict of her hopes and fears,
Nor stain her cheek with more than mimic tears.
Simi., then, alike each bold adventurer
sue
The v otary and the handmaid of the Muse—
Tiiink that the URIC neglect, the siuue regard,
Mast ►ink, or save, the actress and the bard.

acquired, however, what a few ifpu,dits will probably
teach—the art of modulating it with precision. She
pitches it too high ; and, us frequently happens
when Nature is departed from, the higher tones are
the least articulate of all. This young Lady is never-
theless a sobjeet of great promise.
KE.tN's character gave him several opportunities for
the exertion of his powers with great effect. At one
time, when in idea he was grappling with his enemy,
both upon a single plank, and determined that Wei shall
sink together, his look and action were terrific. It was
the struggle of the tiger and the crocodile, stated to
have taken place in the Indian Seas same few years ago.
He received great applause throughout.
This tragedy is the production of the Rev. Mr. MA..
TURIN, a curate, of Dublin, the author of two or three
Novels and Romances of considerable merit.

It was amidst unanimous acclamations that the Piece
was given out for repetition.
We sincerely congratulate the Public on the appearance
of such a Play. The history of its production is curious.
It was sent by the Author, at the recommendation of Mr.
Walter Scott, to Lord Byron, with an earnest entreaty
that its fate might be spNdily determined on ; as the com-
fort of his family for the winter deneaded on its sucless ;
and he offered it to Drury-lane, wholly, for a very trifling
sum. The Noble Poet read it with such admiration, that
he sent it, before he slept, to the other Members of the
Committee; requesting that, if they did not agree with
him in considering it a most extra:,rdinary work, they
would forthwith transmit it to the Managers of Covent-
garden, that the deseriing Author might have the chance
of both Theatres for its acceptance. It was cheerfully
received, and the Noble Lord the same day sent the
Author a handsome present. The Committee have already
sold the copy-right of the Tragedy for the Author, at 12
times the price which he asked for it, besides what he will
obtain by its performance. Thisis, indeed, liberal manage-
ment.

very ; the ravages of merciless cruelty, or the outrage
of ungoverned lust ; altars stained with human gore, or
funerals resounding with the groans of butchered gladia-
tors? It is, because, at the commanding aspect of sci-
ence, dive abominations vanished from the earth.—Why
are infants no longer exposed to capricious destruction
from unfeeling parents? Why arc parents now secure
from the snares and the murdering designs of ambitious
sons? Why is the wife now respected in her age; and,
not, as formerly, dismissed to make room for the seducing
wanton, or tortured with the insolence of rival concu-
bines ? What has exalted the whole female sex to re-
spectability, to deference, and to love ? Without a
question, it is the light of learning. It was this that
first taught men to abhor these abuses ; and it is this
that still restrains the most unworthy from relapsing
into such enormities. What has mitigated the horrors of
war—civilized the manners of nations—attempered the
power of the great—and exalted the condition of the
poor? It is the same cause. If these are the effects of
learning in its indirect influence, what wonderful bene-
fits would it produce if it were extended to every indi-
vidual.—How greatly would it cheek the progress of
crime ! How greatly would it increase the sum of civil
and dome tic. happiness !

By fresh advises i'rim the Gold Coast, it appears, that
Gen. Dae) ,'elsh governor in Chief of the Dutch Forts
in that counts . •..ss been surveying the River Ancobar,
and has repc ) 'ils Ctovernment the expediency- and
practicability qtaring land by purchase of thenat ivcs at
a very low price ; and has recommended that extensive
purchases should be made with a view to convert the
same into plantations of cotton and coffee, and that he has
already made considerable progress in clearing the land
of wood, &c. The General further states, that the River

he adds, that it is certain that this River was navigable in
the time of Rosman. The General then refers to ancient
Dutch maps copied from the Portuguese, to show that
formerly the Portuguese had several Establishments on
the Ancobnr, at which were convents of Monks and Chris-
tian Churches, above 40 leagues in the interior of the
country. The Gnneral suggests, that were the English and
Dutch to agree to establish forts on each side of the River,
with the consent of the King of Ashantee, not only might
the whole commerce of that country be attracted, but also
that of the country on this side of Long Mountains. The
expense of such a project to the Governments the General
thinks would not exceed 10,0001. sterling; as he conceives
the King of Ashantce would supply a number of work-
men to carry wood, stones, and lime, of which there is an
abundance in the neighbourhood.
