capitals, which they most nic..s-arily do to enable them
10 occupy their farms properly, and it was but fair that
they should be remunerated both foi their capital and
their trouble.

of the wages which he ought to have; for, in his Lord-

by destroying the proper pride which a MOD felt in sup-

We understand, from undoubted authority, that the
reduction which Las taken place is from 35 to 35 per

in 1815.

AFFEC'fiNG PARTICULAIti OF TILE LOSS OF
TliE JULI %NA EAST-INDIANIAN.
The following account of this melancholy event has
been transmitted to us by one of the aurvivors :
The Juliana, Capt. Ogkyle. reached the Doesits on her
voyage front Calcutta, out Friday the 21st December, and
after having post Airs. Oglevie on allure at Deal, and re-
ceived a pilot, proceeded fur the river, but was tweed,
by stress lir INYa11:1. r, to 411C1101 in 1114101 e Roads, lions
whence she was drtveit, with the loss of two anrh..ts awl
cables, on the morning al Sunday, the Utt, and f want
of skill in the pilot, armoured on a sand hank, called the
Kentish Knock, between Iwo and three o'clock in the
afternoon of the haute day. its Ilia SCA was ragtag atilt

two men in tier was lowered down, but the boat had
scarcely tourlied the water alien at was dashed to piece-a,
and ho,li the men weer killed.
Al this time there were on hoard alum, forty souls, in•
eluding the captain and his brother, both 11..1111.11411 II ill
the navy, MI. Graham, the surgeon, a instil servant, amid it
lesnale child, passengers tr Calcutta. As three was no
hope of movittg the ship, the long boat neat provided with
provisions., W411.1', and a compaas, attic a view of (ladling
the vessel: butt time wind having gone down with the ebbing
of the tide, and the earpenter having reported favourably
of the state of the ship, it was deter •111 lib put oil their
departure till the I , day, iii the hope that, lit the

and that the y should be thereby enabled to save a part of

In the evening, the sapience of the wind increasing, the
tide lust with rrigilll.lll ilespeluosity, and the very litst
wave that bloke over the atop shattered the lung-boat to
pieces, amid on ried away all the bulwarks. The 1114-11 were
now obliged to take shelter on the boakin it, ur the high-

duck at the feet of his unhappy brother, whose agony at
this moment the w riter, who witnessed the scene, cannot
attempt to describe.
,Many persons were now lying dead about the deck
having been either struck by apars, or killed by excessive
langur, and no succour appearing at eleven o'clock on
iVlenitlay morning, the C. 11,14111 told the crew dial all fur-

endeavour to save themselves by quitting the wreeki as

lie WS% a man of extraordinary talent, and W4S early
distinguished by the immortal Nelson—he was signal
officer on board flue Vici,,ry,l6l the battle of Trafalgar, anti

a large filgate. Many can hear testimony to his excel-
lence as an officer, and the sorrow ut au extensive circle

all who knew him in domestic life.

It will he recollected that some months ago an
action was brought against Mr. Henry Hunt, who
is now a prisoner in Ilchester, for penalties to the
amount of 2001. in consequence of his having sold
roasted grain under the title of breakfast-powder;
these penalties were sued and recovered by the
Excise, in consequence of one of those revenue
laws which are never known till they are telt, hav-
ing made it penal to sell any thing which might be
deemed, or might be used as a substitute for coffee.
It was clearly proved, that in selling this article no
imposition was practised ; the powder had not been
sold as coffea, nor had it been culled by any such
name ; the whole body of the crime was, that the
powder might be used as coffee, if any one chose to
do so, in the same manner as any one might use
water instead of wine, or read a speech of Lord Lon-
donderry's, instead of Demosthenes. The existence
of a law by which such an offence was created ex-
cited much astonishment at the time, and Sir R.
Wilson called attention to the subket in the House
of Commons. It was then reported in all the papers,
and universally understood, that the Chancellor of
the Exchequer had state/ that it was not the inten-
tion of Government to levy the penalties. We re-
member that we received it as a grateful symptom of
some shame at the existence of a law rarely parliiel-
led even in the statutes to which financial rapacity
has given birth. We see, however, that Mr. Hoot,
in the :25 h number of his Memoirs, says that the
Sheriff of Somerset has given him notice that he
has a writ to levy this penalty, by the sale of his
(Mr. I luau's) property in that county
The building in Paris, called during the Revolu-
tionary Government, " the Pantheon," and emc
',toyed as a cemetery for the remains of eminent
men, was sometime back reconverted to its origins
purpose of a church, dedicated to St. Genevieve, the
Patroness of Paris. Among some hundreds of great
names, whose ashes have been deposited in the
Vaults of this building, were those of Rosseau and
Voltaire. The ministers have signalized their en-
trance into office by destroying the monuments and
casting out the ashes of these two unbelievers. and
re-entering there with great pomp—comprising a
train of Princes and Princesses, Bishops, Priests.
and Lawyers—the remains, or what they call the
remains, of the Virgin Saint.
The Newcastle Theatre having been fresh paint-
ed, was opened on Wednesday se'nnight. The most
remarkable feature of the evening was an attempt
to call the manager to account, by a party in the
gallery, for not re-engaging Mr. Holland, who has
been the favourite comic actor for the last three
years. Mr. De Camp resisted this dictation with
spirit, at the some time explaining that Mr. H.
had discharged himself, though it appeared he
had written letters to form a cabal in his favour.—
He declared that while he held the management,
he would engage such performers only as he thought
proper, and in this declaration he was supported by
the majority of the audience, who did not approve
of the assumed management of the gallery party.
Your beautiful ostriches, standing when erect five
feet in height, of a dark colour, were brought to town
on Saturday morning from Portsmouth in a double
caravan, having been sent as a present from the East
Indies to his Majesty: they are to be conveyed to
Brighton.
