FRENCH THEATRICAL.

At she " Cirque Qlympic," a Melo-drame, in three Acts,
has been just produced, called The Dili;euce Attacked. It
faithfully represents on the stage a real diligence, with four live
horses driven by a postillion, which is attacked by banditti. In'
this vehicle is an old officer on his way to assist at the nuptials
of his grand-daughter, to whom he carries a small marriage por-
tion. The diligence is robbed by the banditti, whose leader
Maurice is the very man who is about to espouse his grand-
daughter. ,The travellers, despoiled of every thing, arrive at an
inn kept by this Maurice who lends the old office some money
to assist his fellow travellers, in which a marked piece of money
is discovered by the officer •to be one of the pieces destined for
Louise's portion. Suspicion is awakened in his mind, which
being perceived by Maurice, he resolyes on his immediate death.
The projects of the villains are defeated by the timely arrival at
the village of a brave'oldier, whose character throughout is a
mixture of unaffected gaiety and reckless valour, both of which
are eminently conducive to the interest of the piece, and are
finally the means of preserving the life of the veteran and pre-
venting his ,Louise from contaminating herself by • espousing a
villain who would have imbrued his hands in the blood of tier
beloved and venerable protector. The piece. is got up in the
best manner. Neither decoration nor truth of acting is wanting
to give it an interest in the public estimation, which promises
fairly to render it a favourite for some time.

CONFIRMATIONS.--His Grace the Art,hbishop
of this province has just completed his ,confirmations through-
'out the diocese of York. This worthy Prelate commenced
his tour for that purpole in the summer of 1821, and the last
place where his Grace confirmed in that year was Bridling-
ton. His Grace confirmed altogether 38,453 persons. It is
worthy of remark, that there had not been a confirmation before
at Howden, for 103 years' viz. since that by Archbishop Dawes,
in 1718 ; also, that at Heclon, this was the first confirmation
ever held there. The total number confirmed in the diocese at
the preceding confirmation, in 1817, was 50,815, being 12,362
more than have attended to that rite in 1821-22.—(Doncaster
Gazette.)
Lord and Lady PORTSMOUTII were living
about two years ago at Bognor, in the most affec-
tionate manner. His Lordship very frequently
used to drive himself in his phaeton to Chi-
chester, on which occasion he invariably stopped
at Mr. CyA4GE'S, the saddler, for a new lash to
whip.--(Brighton Herald.)

INTERESTING ANECDOTE.

. .
-. The following fact,. which is communicated. in
a recent letter froM the Danish Capital, goes far
to chew, that, digressed as are many of the. En-
glish Gentlemen at the present .crisis, owing to_
the unprecedented decline in the value of
_agri-
cultural produce, yet-the condition of the British
Landholder is by no means so overwhelmingly
low, as would seem to be the case with some of
the same class of individuals in a neighbouring
country • '
In the early part. of -the last month a Danish Nobleman,
heretofore distinguished for his liberal conduct, not knowing,
what tp do . to appease the clamours -of his tradesmen,, called
them together, and thus addressed them :-,—" My good crien4s,
it certainly • was my intention now, as it -has ever been, to pay
• to every man his own ; but as my lands and tithes produce me
literally nothing ; as persons who have obtained, loans of .me,
are, from absolute necessity, unable to 'make any payment of
interest ; and though willing to sell my lands to get possession
of money, for necessary purposes, yet as I have been totally un-
able to effect a sale at the present conj,uncture, I frankly OW4
I Arri at a non plaS how to act. I may add, that fashionable as
the proCeeding is now-a-days, of raising money by way
of loan, my principles—which I hope will never waver—
are somewhat influential in deterring me from such a
measure, particularly as I do not ,See my way clear how
I should ever be able to. repay the lender. I am- thus
candid with you, my. friends, because I deem it my duty
to 'he so : Only:advise me if I can do any thing eftectual
to meet your wishes, and presto it shall be dbne immediately."
The extreme candour of the Nobleman had such a soothing
area upon the assembled tradesmen, that they one and all
agreed to wait • patiently till the arrival of more auspiciou
times,—for bad as trade was, they admitted' they were • stils
able to earn a living, while they had the pain perceive, thatl
an honourable man, to large lauded estates, was, from the
strange vicissitude of the times, hardly competent to furnish
himself with necessary food and clothes ! ,

Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Limerick,
dated Nov.lC.l

" On Thursday evening, at 6 P.M., it came on to blow very
hard at from S. to S.S.W., with hea'vy rain. About 10 it came
from the W. and then to W.N.W., blowing a most tremendous
gale•of wind, with heavy showers of rain and hail, which con-
tinued during the
,night, and
,all the day of yesterday until
4 o'clock P.M., when, the gale abated. The tide was so high
yesterday morning as to be over all the quays, and forced open•
the kateg of the dry doCk;'Wher-e'the brig Pacific of this port, of
the burthen of 350 tons, was repairing ; the shores all gave way,
the vessel immediately floated but being light, and blowing
very hard, 'she upset, and has not met with very considerable
damage. No other damage has happened to any Of the ship-
ping lying at the quays. The Liberty, Evans, from henCe to
London, cut and parted all her cables in Tarbut Roads yester-
day morning, and ran up to the quay, where she remains in
safety. A largeeloop, supposed to be the Vine, from Clare to
Liverpool or Glasgow, parted from her cables and anchors in
the same place and at the same time, but what has since be-
come of her I have not as yet heard. 'The Minor and the Fame,
for London, rode out the gale in safety in Tarbut Roads. I
am afraid we shall have very unpleasant accounts from sea and
from the coasts, as the gale while it lasted was most tremen-
dous. No vessel arrived or sailed.

The Ceres, Evans, from Waterford to Liverpool, was lost on
West flayle on Saturday; .crew saved. . .
The Fame, Ravely, from Liverpool to Sunderland, was,
driven on shore on Walney Island on Friday, and it was feared
would be wrecked.

CHARLES SHERIDAN, Eso.—The
and particularly the WyKAmtsTs, atrdously %sait
for the appearance of a work from the pen of
this Gentleman, on the important subject of the
REVOLUTION of the GREEKS, a subject deeply
interesting to all mankind. The work issunder-
stood to be his first literary essay. It is 1-ardly
necessary to add, that he is the only surviving sou
of that distinguished character, the late RICHARD
BRINSLEY SHERIDAN, the ornament of the LITER-
ATURE and of the SENATE of this country. The
Gentleman from whom the approaching work is
=expected, is well known to possess hereditary
talents of a very splendid description, and as he
has resolutely applied them to study and reflec-
tion, and is animated by that love of Freedom
which is the true nature of the British character,
we are persuaded that the work in question will
do honour to its author, and, if possible, give an
increased interest to the glorious cause to which
he has so meritoriously devoted his attention.

Yesterday morning, soon after eight o'clock,
the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, attended.
by Lady ISABELLA THYNNE and Capt. FOSTER,
left town for Leamington.
It is currently reported that an action of Grim.
Con. is in a state of forwardness, the result of
which may change the future possessor of an.
ancient Earldom.
AFFAIR. OF HONOLTR.—It is reported that a
meeting took place on Thursday between two
Noble Earls. The result is not known.
M. ZEA, it is said, has received dispatches
from the Portuguese Minister resident in Lon-
don, announcing the recognition of the inde-
pendence of the Columbian Republic by Portugal.
On the recent visit of the Duke of Gloucester
to the Continent, the postillion who drove one of
the Royal carriages had the misfortune to dislocate
his foot by the falling of nis horse on the road fro Ti
Antwerp to Spa. The Duke, on his return to
Brussels, sent an Aid-de-Camp, to inquire
after the postillion. The surgeon having declared
that the man would not be able to mount his horse
for six weeks, the Aid-de-Camp, by the Duke's
order, not only paid the surgeon for his attend-
ance, but gave to the postillion the sum of 200
franks, and promised him S francs a day for two
months. This trait of generosity and humanity
cannot be th generally known.—(Brussels
Paper.)

Offensive language. The prisoner put his hand on the shoulder
of the deceased, and advised him to leave the premises, and cal:
led to one of his men to turn the deceased out at the gate. One
of them interposed, and advised the deceased togo quietly away'
The deceased, however, would not go away. The prison
then ordered a constable to be sent for. Some irritable language
was repeated by the deceased, and the prisoner in a passion
knocked him down with his fist. The deceased fell senseless on ,
the ground. Mr. Jacob Reynolds, the prisoner's partner,
shook his head, and said he ought not to have struck so old a
man. The prisoner replied, that he had been provoked and i,11",
suited by the deceased, who had called him a rogue and :4*
rascal.- Some of the prisoner's labourers carried the deceast'
away. He recovered his senses during a short interval, but IA
four or five days afterwards he died, and upon his head beirg
opened it was found that he had died in consequence of a ear;
cussion of the brain. The prisoner had immediately sent
surgeon to the deceased, upon finding that he was severely ~,
This prosecution was instituted by the sons of the deceased

it to the very gross and insulting language used to him by tile

Three of the prisoner's labourers proved that the dec
was very abusive.
Two medical men of eminence stated that, in their judgni d,

deceased had been subjected.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced °

tOR TIIE SUN.

IVANIIOEi though almost as untechriical in his
blazonry as poor IttsEms herself, is essentially
correct. The false heraldry of " colour on co-
lour" means a charge or ordinary of the same
colour as the field,. and not of a different one.
For in this latter case, colour must be placed on
colour, else we could have no blazonry at all..
The Black Knight's device would hare been
more regularly marshalled thus—stthie, a feller-
lock and shacklebolt• azure. So, Lord MAMMON
very properly bore—azure, a falcen vaunt sable.
But the novelist and the poet were not tied down
to the herald's phraseology.
They are both, however, as unlucky in their
advocate as in their censurer. The sable of bla-
zonry is a colour, not a fur. When the one cri-
ticises heraldry without a•deep knowledge of its
rudiments, and the other fits out a knight-errant
by the fashion of dolls and dandies, I must
account the reviewer not too acute, and X X
not ' Y Y.

Extract of a Letter from a Private Soldier in the 91st Regiment
to his friend in Glasgow, dated Fort Augusta (Jamaica),

Oct. 22, 1822.
" We have been unfortunate with regard to the sickness
since we landed, having lost one captain, two lieutenants, one
assistant-surgeon, our quarter-master serjeant, six serjeants,
and about 112 men ; six women, and eleven children. How-
ever, since the end of May the sickness has abated, and we
have continued very healthy since. This is what they call the
hurricane season, although in this part we have experienced
nothing of the kind as yet ; but since we have been in this fort
there was a slight shock of an earthquake felt in Kingston."

SPAIN.

MADRID, DEC. 6.—Yesterday a gala took
place at Court, on the occasion of the anniver-
sary of the Queen's birth-day. Although some
pamphlets were designedly circulated the pre-
ceding evening, in which " the servile homage
paid to privileged families" was ridiculed, the
circle was pretty numerous ; and the Queen,
although in a state of suffering, addressed herself
in the most affable manner to the faithful ser-
• wants who were admitted to offer her the honour
of their respectful attachment.
The ancient Political Chief, M. San Martin,
to whom the Descainisados have given the nick-
-name .of Tin-Tin,,..has been the object of most
furiOus declamations at the Landaburian Club.
—Fears were entertained. for the life of this
Magistrate, from the vociferations of the citi-
zen Homer° Alpuente ;, but M. San. Martin,
.who joins ,to great personal courage a good
-reputation, disconcerted the brawlers by pre-
, seating himself at the Sitting, and demand-.
;ling a repetition of what had been imputed
•to him. - The Descamisaclos,. as
.cowardly
When they are resisted,. as they are fero-
'Ciotis when they excite fear, remained mute,
and 'the people were inclined to applaud the Po-
litical Chief.—To redeem this check, the heroic
Members of the Club broke-bp, and went away
singing the Tragola. Some groupes went to-
wards the Palace, and were dispersed by the
• Patroles.

The situation ef the Royal Family and the
peaceable people of Madrid is very critical. The
condition ef the Infants has not been changed in
any respect. The King, to whom the air is salu-
tary, goes out sometimes.
It is now long since we heard the cry Viva el

-.Re in this capital. The song Trugala regains
.:-favour, and.the 'most odious verses are sung by
the most audacious whenever the King leaves his
Palace.--(Quotidiorme.)

caused b" an insurrection of the people, discon-
tented with the late financial measures of. the
Jannissaries. This statement, if true, is a glaring
contradiction to.that of the Austrian Observer—
' that the tranquillity of Constantinople was not
interrupted for a moment.'
" STOCKHOLM, Nov. 29.—Mr. Graeberg, our
late Vice-Consul in Tangier, is appointed Consul
at Tripoli. General Moreno, the Spanish Am-
bassador, has received orders from his Sovereign,
to deliver to his Majesty the King, the Insignia of
the Order of the Golden Fleece.

44 ST. PETERSBURGH, Nov. 26.—For the last
fortnight we have again very warm weather, the
thermometer is at 7, or 1 degrees Rearnur, and it

rains incessantly.
" Every fortnight a courier arrives here from
Verona, and another is dispatched to that place.
When the weather is more favourable, he makes
the journey in fourteen or sixteen days; but
when it is bad, in twenty or twenty-two days.
The expenses of a courier to Verona and back
are said to amount to 800 ducats.

" The ships Go/ownin and Baranow, sent in
1821, by the Russian American Company to

make discoveries on the north-west coast of Ame-
rica, have returned safe. Besides making a more
accurate survey of the north-west coast, they have
discovered a pretty large island called Numirak,
situated, according to their account, in 59 deg.
54 mitt. 56 sec. north lat., and 193 deg. 17 min.
12 sec. east longitude.

44 WARSAW, Nov. `26.—The young Prince
Morusi who, arrived here on the 16th from
Odessa, has set out for Paris.—From 40 to 50
more Greek fugitives have arrived here. These
poor people are the object of general compassion
and curiosity. Coming from very different pro-
vinces of the Turkish-3
Empire, they appear• in
manifold costumes ; Turkish, Hungarian, Mol-
davian, &c. One of them speaks good Polish.

`the enemy to defend that fortress. Belanes has
:also been taken .by the troops of the Faith. The
..-battle, says this letter, was a very bloody one.
.A great number of monks, who fought in the
ranks of the Army of the Faith, fell by the
-hands of Mina's soldiers. It was remarked that

the fury of the Cpristitotionalists was principally
directed against tile ecclesiastics. ,
The following detailitispecting the vatbSits positionti, &c:
of the Royalists in4:4l:;.are calculated to show that they have
no cause to despair of theiloble causti which they defend :
Baron d'Eroles has re-entered Spain, and his movement is
combined with those of chiefs-of the divisions Campredon and
Solsona. 4

Merino, an extraordinary man, nominated Major-G eneral
during the war against the French, rangei the mountains
of Old Castile, Burgos, and all the left bank of the Douro,
as far as Osma, near Valladolid. He has 2,000 men under
his orders.

Zabala, a pensioned Lieut.-Colonel, with 800 men, keeps the
Constitutionalists in awe in that part of Old Castile bordering
Arragon and the province of Alva.
_ _

Cuebilla, a partisan Chief in the independent war, ranges
Biscay and a portion of the Asturias, and of Old Castile, as
far as Pancorbo.

Charles O'llonnel, Lieut.-General, occupies all Navarre, u
far u Alfaro and Tudela, with 6,000 men.

Pereira, one of the Members of the Apostolic Junta, (which
was formed on the breaking out of the revolution), is in
Galicia, menacing Corunna, and ranging as far as the frontieys
of Portugal.

El Rojo de Valderos, alt ancient and valorous partisan, ranges
Rostoro, Sal4manca, Avila, and the whole kingdom
of Leon.

In Estramadura, three partisans have upwards of 2,000 men
under their orders.. „

Zaldivar ranges the whole province of Cadiz ; has been

and Ronda.

Two parttsan chiefs are in La Mancha. One from the moun-
tains of Toledo came cfose to Madrid; the other in the province

of Ouadalaxara.

In Arragon there are six partisan chiefs. Five thousand men
are in the vicinity of Huesca, Mequineza, and Saragossa. It
is known that 20,000 men have appeared in Catalonia, under
the orders of Baron d'Eroles, Misas, Fleyne, Mallavilla, Mo.

TIIE KING V. RIDGWAY.

Mr. BROUGHAM, on a former day, moved for a rule to spew
cause why Sir John Sewell, John Atkins, Esq. and Mr. James
Murray, Solicitor, should not pay the costs incurred by the
defendant, in consequence of not proceeding to try him for per-
jury, at the last Lancaster Assizes ; and why a writ of certiorari,
obtained for removing the proceedings from the Assizes, should
not he quashed; also, why they should•not pay the expences of
the application.
Mr Sergeant HuLLoux shewed cause a,gaitist the rule. He
said, if the notion had been confined to the costs of not pro-
ceeding to trial,' no opposition would have been'offered, but the
endeavour to set aside the certiorari, which the prosecutors were
entitled to, claim, was altogether unnecessary. The Learned
Sergeant was' proceeding to read affidavits, sheaving on what
ground the certiorari was obtained, when the .
Lord CHIEF-JUSTICE said, Mr. Brougham, if they pay
you the costs of not proceeding to trial, and the expence occa-
sioned by the certiorari, will you not be satisfied ?
Mr. BROUGHAM—Undoubtedly, my Lord, but we have
been hurt by the removal.
Judge BAYLEY.—They have a right to the certiorari, but
you complain that you have suffered some abuse by not ap-
plying for the certiorari in time.

LIIIEF JUSTICE.—The issuing of the writ is not what the
Court look at as wrong. The circumstances under which it
was obtained may be wrong. We will give the defendant a
remedy, by allowing the costs of not proceeding to trial.
Mr. BROUGIIA.II—We are much worse by the removal.
Judge BA LEY.--You are only worse by the certiorari
being sued out of an advanced state of the Assizes, instead of
the first day.
Mr. 13it0uGH..1.31.—1 am worse by the trick played off on
this occasion.

• Mr. Serjeant Hur.Locx was preparing to combat the charge
of. trickish proceedings, when
The CHIEF JUSTICE interposed, observing that it was quite
unnecessary gentlemen should waste their time in argument,
when the Court had decided the application. •
Ht. BROUGHAM.—We have got all we want.
CHIEF JUSTICE.—WC make the rule absolute, and leave
the parties to take out another certiorar.i.—Rule absolute.

EAST INDIA SUGARS.

The CHAIRMAN also presented the report of the Committee
of buying and warehousing, which had been appointed to in-
vestigate the circumstances attending the culture of sugar in
the East Indies. He observed, that the report itself was ex-
tremely short ; but the industry of the Committee could be con-
jectured from the voluminous documents on . the table which
accompanied that report, and contained a great mass of infor-
mation upon the subject of their sugar trade. When these docu-
ments were printed, the Proprietors would be in possession of
all the particulars of the question in which they were so much
interested.

The report was then read. It.set out with a reference to the
steps taken by. the Board of Trade at Calcutta, and a former
Committee appointed to investigate the subject in the year 1792;
and then adverted to the great increase of the cultivation of
East India sugar within the 30 years which had since interven-
ed. In the year 1821, 14,000 tons had been imported into Eng-
land ; in 1822, 13,500 tons had arrived. To show the extent
of the revenue upon East India sugar, it was stated.in the year
1820, 191,0001. duty had been paid upon its importation • and
in 1821, 134,000/. The report added, that the less gratifying
part of the duty of the Committee was to state, that since the
year 1799, East India sugar had been charged a larger compa-
rative proportion of duty than other sugars, and a still further
burden was imposed by the Acts of the Ist and 2d of the present
'reign: from these causes the Committee inferred that there was
a manifest danger of East India sugars being excluded from
home consumption.
After some observations from Messrs. FORBES, R. JACK-
SON, and Mr. TRANI', the Report and Appendix were then
ordered to be printed.

WESTMINSTER GENERAL DISPENSARY.
The friends to this very benevolent and useful Institution
met at dinner yesterday, in the great morn at the Freemasons'
Tavern. We noticed about 140 Gehtlemen of respectability.
—Sir RICHARD BIRNIE took the Chair.

The usual routine of toasts were ven after which the Re-
port was read by the Secretary, Dr. Macleod.
The CHitn.fiwt, in proposing " Prosperity to the Institu-
tion," forcibly dwelt on the many claims it had on the public
attention. He considered it one of the most useful charities in
London. The particular 'situation which he filled in life gave
him daily opportunities of witnessin.g its beneficial effects. He
commended the great attention of the Medical Gentlemen and
,of the Treasurer of the Society.
The,healths of the Treasurer and the Committee were then
given, and drunk with applause.
The company were favoured with some admirable glees, by
Messrs. Jolly, Collier, and Smith.—The party did not sepliate
until a late hour.

BOXING.

The two battles between Godfrey, the Gosport Black, and
Cummings,, the Navigator : and Phillips, the Tinman, and
John Gootioy, the Illaltster, took place on Tuesday, at Chor]ey_
Common, near Farnham.
The first two contended for a stake of 10 sovereigns, and a
purse of 10 ; and had it been hundreds, according to the pre
vailing humbugging the men could not- have gone to more
earnest work. In the first round Godfrey floored his adver-
sary by a right-handed facer from the scratch, which produced
plenty of claret.
2. The Navigator drew blood from the Black's right de-
civer, which laid open the eyelash, and the crimson hue fol-
lowed in streams of glory. A well contested rally followed, and
the Navigator was thrown.

3 and X. The Black's superior strength gave him rather the
lead, but in the 4th the Navigator got him upon the right lock,
and tipped him a rattling cross-buttock, which capsizul
and took the rough off his fastness.
5 and 6. In favour of the Navigator, the' Black going up
to the scratch lame in the right thigh, and it was two to one on
Cummings.
7. In a severe rally several hits were exchanged, and none
of the tapping sort. The Navigator's right eye was closed,
and the Black gave him a rattling facer, which not only chang-
ed the odds, but reduced the fight to a win.
8. The Navigator was floored from the scratch, and the Black
won a merry battle in 22 minutes.
PHILLIPS AND GOODOY.—These men fbught a good battle
for 51. and a slice of love to boot, consuming a widow. It
lasted 36 minutes, and the men knocked each other about with
more energy than skill. Goodin/ had the best of the first 25
minutes, but a severe slap on that tittkish part, the tip of the
nose, spoiled him, and Phillips won it, and was escorted home
by a well-dressed female.

COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS,

DURING THE LAST WEEK.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, March 26.

The import of Wheat was again heavy : of Barley there was
scarcely any, nor were Oats excessive. Our market remains
in the same dull inactive state it has beers in for many weeks
past; to sell inferior Wheat is next to impossible, and the
finest qualities to-day were sold 3d per bushel beneath our
last currency. Notwithstanding the smallness of the supply
of Barley, little could be sold, and there were plenty of
samples slim'', both of it and Malt. Oats were saleable,
and firmly maintained their price. Beans are Is to 25 per
quarter lower. English and Irish Flour were likewise is per
pack. Fresh and Sweet bonded Flour is ready sale for ex-
portation.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]

We learn that the Report of the Agricultural
~..Committee may be expected in a day or two at
farthest. The Agriculturists, finding themselves
. stronger in numbers than in argument, have for
some time past avoided all discussion, and solved
every difficulty by- proceeding at once fo the
vote. Outhese occasions two English and one
Scotch Member have' been regularly opposed to
all the rest of. the Committee. Mr. Robinson,
who occasionally displays something.like an ac-
quaintance with sound principles, and who has
even occasionally raised his voice against the ad-
vocates for monopoly and restriction, has, in the
.Committee, entered into, all the views of the
Agriculturists. He does not hesitate to maintain
that the Landholders of this country are entitled
.to the protection, not merely of a countervailing,
duty equal to the taxation to which Our agri-
' culture is subject, but. to the amount of the,
. difference between the price at - which our
farmers can afford to raise.grain, and that at.
which it can be raised any where else. The
principle which Mr. Robinson,
.and of course
Ministers, have thus determined to sanction, is
neither 'more' nor less than this.: that if you
should happen to be placed on a barren rock in
the-midst.of the 'ocean, Or in any other situation
equally nnfavourable to the raising of grain, you,
must not,apply your industry to the producing an
equivalent for food from countries where it can
-he raised with little labour, but you must raise
all the food you require yourselves from this'
