Miss PATON was too much indisposed to sing
last night at the English Opera House, but of
course experienced the liberal indulgence of the
audience.

We are requested by Madame CATALANI to
say that after the tour she is about to make
through the South of France, she will return to
London, where she will give a series of Grand
Concerts, to begin about the end of March next,
and which will be upon the very grandest style,
having for this purpose engaged some of the firs:
talents in Europe.
ELLISTON AND KELLY.—The former of these
Gentlemen still contiuues to reside at Ranngate,
and the latter at Margate. Mr. ELLI,,Tos seems
to recover but very slowly indeed ; he has en-
tirely lost the use of his hands. 11is son and
daughter are with him. Mr. KELLY can now
make some use of his hands, but is extremely
weak.

During the performance of Freischutz, on
Monday night, Miss L. JAttstAN was near meet-
ing a serious accident, by falling, in the last
scene, through the trap prepared for the descent
of Caspar; she fortunately escaped unhurt.—

The grain throughout the South of Scotland is
for the most part secured. The oat crops have been more than
usually productive, and few people can remember so fine or so
early an harvest. The potatoes, which in Ireland are so very
indifferent, are in Scotland very good.
SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.--A man, in the
employ of Mr. Raxworthy, at Upton Lovell, some months
since, put several young rats into a ferret's cage, which were
all, except one, quickly deprived of life. The ferret having
young ones, this rat followed their example in sucking the
mother : and the old ferret immediately lost its natural hosti-
lity towards it, and reared it with her young ones, with the
same affectionate care. The rat is now full grown, and runs
any where with the ferrets without either of them doing it in,
jury.—( Wiltshire Paper.)
Mr. JOHN MUGGERIDGE, a respectable sta-
tioner, residing on St. Margaret's-hill, Southwark, who died
yesterday morning at an early hour, met with his death in a
melancholy manner. A short time ago, he and his wife went
to Brighton, with an intention of remaining there until his coun-
try-house, which has been recently erected at Norwood, was in
a fit condition to be inhabited, and the night of his arrival he
caught so severe a cold by sleeping in a damp bed, that he died
in the course of a few days.
A short time since one of the lads belonging
to the Record-office, who slept in third story,
awoke, about two o'clock in the morning, and
found himself on a cherry•tree in a neighbour-
ing garden ; he was. entirely undressed, having
nothing on but his shirt and pantaloons. lie was
wholly, unconscious hoW. or when he got there.
Not liking his roost, the lad scrabbled down and
hurried back to bed as fast,,as possible.—(New

[TIRE TIMES.]

The trial of a young man named Christmas for
embezzlement, reported in our paper of yester-
day, had been looked forward to with consider-
able interest, and arose out of circumstances
which ought to be lastingly impressed upon the
attention, not of young men or bankers' clerks
only, but of old men as well as young, and men
of high degree and affluent fortune, as well as of
the unprovided and obscure. The offence of
which this unfortunate person has been found
guilty was the embezzlement of his employer's
property ; but that was not his original trans-
gression. The parent crime of poor Christmas
was gaming—the most ruinous description of
gaming, because on the largest scale—viz.
stock-jobbing—unlawful, disgraceful, insuffer-
able stock-jobbing—that of time bargains in
-new speculations. Here was a man in a banker's
shop, striving, by his own confession, to retrieve
his pecuniary embarrassments, by permitting
two stock-brokers to involve him in a series
of gambling transactions to an amount exceed-
ing 900,0001. ! Little then does it surprise
us to hear, that the differences and broker's
commission brought against him was in the
long run nothing short of 7,0001. Now, if
this were a solitary picture, or likely to remain
so, we should hesitate before we troubled our
readers by pressing it on their attention. But
grieved we are'to say, that ten thousand copies
might be found in London only, of precisely the
same vicious hardihood, and wreckless abandon-
ment of all the dictates of sobriety, integrity,
and honour. The city—and not the city alone,
but the correspondents of city men from every
corner of the kingdom,. are wild with the same
frantic spirit of speculation. The South Sea
scheme was calculating wisdom, compared with
many of-the bubbles which are now blown into
cur/Pricy by the breath- of any profligate advert-
toter, with or without a name. In the South
Sea mania there were at least many persons of
known. repute, and real property, embarked in
the-amdertaking, and exposed to an immense'
amount, so that ignorant individuals had sweae
plUusibie and saving argument to justify the
eagerness of their imitation. But who and what are
they that call upon public confidence at the present
crisis? and what security have the headlong fools
whom they seduce, we do-not say for the sound-
ness 9f. the project started, but for the honesty of
thine who direct and administer the funds con-
tributed to its advancement ? How many schemes
have already been deserted by those who adver-
tised the sale of shares, after they had got hold
of the deposits ! How many calls have been
made for deposits of money, when the names and
designations of the parties projecting them have
been audaciously withheld from the subscribers !
A-Correspondent (Ito wiseacre, we must take the
liberty of telling him) informs us, that lie has
shares in several new companies—six in number
—the advertising directors of which have one
aud,all thrown up the management, after having
touched the deposits. Of the gross number of .
32 Directors,- 24, it appears, are on the list of
the whole six companies. Having received the
first instahnents from their shareholders, and let
all the other business of their respective schemes
go sleep ; no satisfaction can the subscribers ob-
tain, as to when or how the .promises held out
in each prospectus are to be realized ; or in
what manner their specific . objects are to be
pursued. The personal identity of- most of
the Directors, it seems, is .rather difficult to
develop. Their intentions are shrouded in
mystery—giving no insight into their bankers'
accouttes, nobody knows whither the cash
may have absconded to, or ie whose pocket
it.may by this time have
.nestled. Our worthy
correspondent betrays much exasperatioo at the,
authors of his injury. We should hope that no
small portion of his anger falls where it ought to
do—upon his own shoulders for though some
respect may be due to an individual who conde-
scends to make us the confidants of hisanisfortune,
we shall not scruple to say to others who have
placed themselves in similar circumstances, that
they are arrant fools, and deserve not a particle
of our pity.. Would it be practicable to introduce a
legal p ovision, thatall the Directorsof a new joint-
stock company should be forced to lodge security
Wlth the ExChequer, hearing a certain ratio to
the Whole capital which they call upon the public
to Subscribe ? If all the world were men. of
sense, they might undoubtedly be left to adopt
measure's for their own protection ; but we every
day fied the Legislature.endeavourieg to guaran-
tee the weak against themselves.

. 'Among the speculative schemes for extracting
money from the pockets of the public, the sale
of Licensed Victualling Houses,, at enormous
premiums, is an' -abuse, of which the immediate
ciriSequences fall tiiiPu :the, consumers of the
Liquors sold in the licensed house, who', of course,
are made to pay for the exaggerated price at
which it was purchased. These are, for ibe
g:4:44ter part, .the labouring and industrious
*gasses ; the more remote,cou,sequences affect the
individual taking the, licence, who is-crashed
14et0.eon the bre•wer,an'd.the builder ;.and hence
it-is that our Debtors'Gaols are -filled with ruined
publicans, many of thern respectable gentlethen's
servants, who, after years of service, had been
able to save a little money. The origin of the
evil is ascribed by a Surrey_ Magistrate, w,hOse
paophlet.. we, lately. . noticed, to the cor.
reapt7 artifice by which it has been con-
trived- to annex the licence, to the., hntise,in
perpetuity, for the benefit of the proprietor,
Othongba license is. notoriously only the grant
of a(Lannual privilege, and that not to the owner
tit tp,.the occupier.of.the house. The assiduous
a-tAenclance of Magistrates at the Licensing Ses...
sions, in the neighbourhood, of London, who are
closely connected with brewers -and buildet44 is
Agliced by this writer-with something like indig-
aant,surprise. Indignation .there may be room
foci' but upon his own statement what is there to
wonder at ? Does he imagine that what • he

mildly terms CI a false principle," was introduced
into the licensing system merely to remain a dead
letter? The very useful pamphlet of this gen-
tleman speaks volumes, but it fades before the
glaring iniquities which are disclosed in the Re-
port of the Police Committee of the House of
Commons. The Licensing Act, founded in part
on that Report, has failed to correct the evils
which it propoed to remedy, and there can be
little doubt that, on its renewal next year, the
publicans and the public will unite in imploring
the Legislature to strike at the root of this sys-
tem of patronage and corruption. It is pos-
sible that, tinder proper regulations and re-
spectable securities, the trade may be thrown
open, and left like other trades to find its
own level. This is strongly recommended by
an experienced Magistrate, in his evidence be-
fore the Police Committee ; and it is, perhaps, the
only effectual cure for abuses, which are proved by
him, and by a multitude of other witnesses who
are examined, to be equally injurious to the
pubticans and the public. We have been led to
make these observations, because it is in this
month that licences are granted to new public
houses, and as many persons may be led to pur-
chase them at prices far above their real value,
under the impression that the old system will be
allowed still to go on, we think it right to warn
them that all good men, of all parties, feel
strongly the necessity of placing the Licensing
System on some other footing, which may destroy
the monopoly, and reduce their new purchases to
their intrinsic worth. The number of these new
houses round London is so considerable, that
probably their artificial value consequent on their
being licensed cannot be estimated at less than
100,0001., and as we have cautioned others in
other instances, we trust with good effect, we
hope to be excused for advising the speculators
in this description of property, while they are
making their calculations, to keep in mind the
evidence adduced and established before the
Committee of the House of Commons, and con-
nect it with the fact that the present Act expires
next year.

[BRITISH PRESS.]'
The French Papers are r.s amusingly earnest as
ever in their discussion of the consequences that
will ensue to Europe from the 'establishment of
the protectorate of Great Britain over Greece.—
Each Journal discusses the subject according to
its party views, but they all concur in regarrUpg
the fact as absolutely certain. The Constitutionnel
thinks that the English Government will content
itself with replying to the Greeks, that " it takes
a warm interest in their cause; that they should
not despair of it ; that their past successes are a
security for successes yet to be achieved, and,
that if it cannot with propriety give them mili-
tary aid, it is about to send an Ambassador (Mr.
Stratford Canning) to Constantinople, who will
use his utmost influence with the Porte to obtain
the recognition of the independence of a territory
or► which the heroic remains of their nation may
flourish in peace. There is no news from Greece
later than we have already published, at least, of
any events of a clear and decisive character. The
Greek fleet under Miaulis was pursuing the Otto-
' man, which had taken refugmunder the forts of the
Morea. It was reported thatColocotroni, after hav-
ing been defeated, had rallied his forces and gained
a complete 'victory over Ibrahim Pacha. We
must, of course, receive these statements with
caution. There seems, however, no reason to
doubt that the loss sustained by the Turks be-
fore Missolonghi was very great. That veracious
journal, the Oriental Spectator, repeats the story
that the Greek Government had placed the
Morea under the protection of England. It ap-
pears, from an article in the Courier Francais,
that the terms and conditions of the Haytian loan
are settled, though the envoys are yet in quaran-
tine at Brest. There is to be no competition
with respect to the contract. All is decided, and
it would therefore seem as if the terms of the
loan, and the names of the contractors, had been
imposed upon Hayti as an essential part of the
recognition of her independence. M. Lafitte
will take one-half of the loan, and Mr. Baring the
other. The loan will be redeemable at the end of
20 years, and will bear six per cent. interest. The
price of the contract is 82 per cent. The produce
and merchandise which the Republic will send
to France, for the payment of the debt and inte-
rest, will be consigned to the ports of Havre,
Nantes, and Bordeaux. The amount of the loan
will be 146 millions of francs. The amount of,
the indemnity to the colonists is 150 millions, but
the Ilaytians are able to pay the first instalment
of 30 millions immediately in cash. There re.
main consequently but 120 millions to be raised
by loan, which at 82 per cent. will rather exceed
146 millions of principal debt. The Haytian
Government appears to have been in haste to
comply with every requisition made by the
French. M. de Villele has dictated at his plea-
sure, every part *Of the arrangement, and, in the
very act of obtaining the nominal recognition of
their independence, the Ilaytians surrendered the
character of an independent people. The Cham-
ber of Accusation of. the Royal Court of Paris
has decided that there is no ground for prose-
eating M. Ouvrard, who has in consequence been
re►>7oved from the Conciergerie back to St.
Pelagie.

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
German Papers tOrthe Bth inst. arrived yester-
day, but their contents are of little importance.
An article from Augsburgh, 'dated the, 7th in—
stant, corroborates the intelligence lately re-
ceived from Greece, relitiVel6 the defeat of
Turks before Missolongla. According to this
Uccuunt, it should appear that the victory was at-
tributable to the opportune arrival.Of a ,Greek
corps, which, after having 'gained some
,advan-
tages over a Turkish forCe, opposed to therp, as-
sembled at Lidoyiki, and, inunediately inarching
On MiSsolorighi, effected ajunction with the gar-
rison of that 'Olace, whO, thus aided, were ena-
bled signally to defeat the besieging army Of
Itedschid Pacha. We trust that, when we are
'possession of the authentic details, they will
fully confirm this account. SOMe. further ex-
ainpi-es of similar bravery and decision on part 'of
the Greeks, wily render the discussion of the

question of the Protectorate (which continues,
we think, needlessly, to agitate the minds of the
Editors of the French Papers) quite unnecessary.

[NEW Timm.]
The Etoik dated Thursday morning reached
us last night. Spain and Greece form the inter-
mediate topics in these Papers, and they do not
appear to be getting any further forward in the
arguments on either side. We do not wonder
that the former of these subjects should occupy
much attention in France. Private accounts,
from high quarters, assure us that the Spanish
affairs are the principal subject of deep, and
sometimes angry, discussion in the French Cabi-
net, which will, ere long, take a most decided
step towards their arrangement. Greece, we
should imagine, is left entirely to the newspapers,
who are arguing about it pretty much in the man-
ner of disputants, who, to use the language of
Dr. Johnson, " from false premises draw incon-
sequent conclusions." Our acquisition of the
Morea is the great bone of contention ; but, after
an immensity of discussion, the Constitutionnel
has discovered that Mr. Canning has no de-
sire of annexing the empire of Greece to that
of England. It certainly requires a reach of
thought to come to so profound a conclusion.—
This point, however, having been established by
this stretch of miraculous ingenuity, a plain man
would think the controversy should cease. If
we will not have it, there ought to be an end of
speculations on the consequences of the offer—
but " they manage these things better in France,"
and the wordy war is continued with as much
pertinacity as ever. A dispute into which the
same paper has entered with Viscount de Bonald,
on the effect of religion on political power, &c.,
puts us very much in mind of the controversy at
present raging between a morning contemporary
of ours and Mr. M'Culloch, the Ricardo Lec-
turer. It seems just as luminous and oracular;.
and the French parties appear to understand
about as much of this subject as the British dis-
putants do of theirs. However, it fills the co-
lumns, which is perhaps the only end aimed at
on both sides of the water.

[MORNING POST.]
French Papers to the 15th inst., and the Etoile
of Thursday, reached us last night by express.
The latter contains intelligence from Corfu to the
17th ult., which throws some light on the events
which occurred during the preceding month
in the Morea. The momentary occupation of
Tripolizza by Demetrius Ypsilanti is confirmed,
as well as the destruction of the Arabs by
whom it was garrisoned, to the number of 2,000.
—As the place was in ruins, however, the
Greeks did not attemp to retain it, but re-
tired as Ibrahim Pacha approached. Colo-
cotroni, it is frankly admitted, was defeated in
the first action which he fought with the Egyp-
tians near Tripolizza, and was driven to the vil-
lage of Acladocambo, on the road to Napoli di
Romania. There, however, he is said, in a short
time to have collected 16,000 men, and on resum-
ing the offensive, to have obtained a decisive vic-
tory. He then changed his plans, and instead
of pushing on to Tripolizza, marched to Simano
on the road to Leondari and Navarino, in order
to cat off the enemy from his supplies or rein.
forcements on the coast. On his way he is said
to have been joined by Prince Ypsilanti with
4000,men, and afterwards by the Mainottes, who
had at last taken an active part in the
contest, and given their powerful aid to the
common cause. Notwithstanding these successes
on the part of the GrEfeks, the Oriental Spectator
asserts that Ibrahitn's army had taken Napoli di
Malvoisia. It is perhaps at the time when Colo-
cotroni was defeated, or since he ceased to cover
the capital and took the direction of Navarino,
that the inhabitants of Napoli and the Govern-
ment of Greece came to the resolution of placing
their country under our protection. Such details
are given in these papers of the manner in which
this resolution was discussed and adopted by the
Executive, that it is impossible any longer to
doubt its reality, though it is clear that Captain
Hamilton could not give the Greeks any of the
guarantees which are represented to have ema-
nated from him. On this subject the Consti-
tutional publishes some very sensible reflections.
" How is it," says that Journal, " that so much
noise is made about a request, which is only a
repetition of similar applications made to other
Powers ? Greece invoked the protection of the
Holy Alliance, and all were silent. She invoked
that of the Pope, and no one moved ; but
scarcely does she ask the protection of Eng-
land, than all Cabinets are in agitation ! Do
they not thus afford the British Government a
most striking proof of the immense strength
of a Ministry supported by national interests,
and of the corresponding weakness of those who
act in opposition to the wishes of the nations
whose affairs they direct ? But what will be
the consequence of ,this act ? Can Capt. Hamil-
ton have pledged an imprudent promise ?
Though a military man, can he have mixed
himself up with civil transaction ? No ; all that
he can have, and must have done, has been to
send the request of the Greeks to the Lord High
Commissioner, who will himself have forwarded
it immediately to Loudon. But what decision
will be taken by the English Ministers 2 The
question is not difficult to solve. They will
certainly not betray their high trust. Mr. Can-
ning will continue to discharge his duty. lie
will feel it due to the Greeks to support their de-
mand in the most efficacious manner, but equally
due to his country not to deprive it of the happy
enjoyment of a peace which has raised its prospe-
rity so high. Ile will not think for one instant
of annexing the Greeks to the British Empire
under the title of Proteges, for war would be the
sure result of 'so momentuous a measure. When
the absurdities of the colonial system display
themselves on all sides, this is not the moment
at which England would choose to return
to it, especially when the act would occasion
a war which it is equally
.her wish and inte-
rest to avoid, whatever might be its chances.—
She will therefore rest satisfied with telling, the
Greeks that she takes a deep interest in their
cause ; that they must not despair ;
that the Sue
ledge of 1
cesses which they have gained are a p

those which they will obtain ; and that if she
cannot send them soldiers, she will dispatch her
Ambassador (Mr. Stratford Canning) to Constan-
tinople ; who will efficaciously interfere with
the Porte to secure the independence of a terri-
tory where the heroic remains of their nation
may revive and flourish in peace. England
may new acquire, if she establishes the in-
dependence of Greece, the gratitude of the ci-
vilized world. Why should not other Govern-
ments combine with the British Government to
insure the triumph of so noble a cause. The
Greeks asked only for one Protector ; let all the
nations, impelled by a generous emulation, pre-
sent themselves and dispute with England the
honour of restoring that people. What can pre-
vent them ? The barriers are open. If England
alone defends humanity, what a disgrace will it
not be for them !"

[MORNING HERALD.
Now that the mania of Joint Stock Companies
has in a great degree subsided, from a conviction
on the part of the public that nine-tenths of those
which have been proposed are mere bubbles, and
of the most hopeless and delusive kind, we were
little prepared to hear of a new scheme more ab-
surd and preposterous, if possible, than any of
its predecessors, in the shape of a project to raise
no less a sum than a million of money in shares
of 501, each, to give people a better view of St.
Paul's ! There really seems no bounds to the
folly of projectors, who talk of raising millions
with more ease than the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, and who seem to measure. the gullibility of
John Bull by a standard entirely their own. The
Duke of York, it appears, on being applied to to
become the Patron of the scheme, very wisely de-
clined it " in the present state of the business,"
his Royal Highness no doubt considering that it
cannot be advisable to give these people the
power of destroying 600,000/. worth of property
merely to afford those who walk up Ludgate-hill
and along Cheapside a better view than they can
at present have of that magnificent building,
which every one must wish had been originally
placed in a somewhat larger area than it at pre-
sent occupies. As nothing, however, will go down
without the aid of great names,two or three Dukes
and other very honourable persons have very
good-naturedly (but as, we think, inconside-
rately) put their names to this project ; and
with this sanction, about thirty or forty rubicund
Common Councilmen having met at the Horns
Tavern, have resolved that Ludgate-hill, and we
do not know how many streets besides, shall be
pulled down, and that " without attempting any
infringment of the sacred rights of private pro-
perty !" And one of the sapient reasons that
the good people of the Horns Tavern give for
this magnificent scheme is, that horned cattle
may pass more quietly along the Old Bailey.
It is not a little amusing to see people meeting
at a tavern and talking seriously in this way :
but can there be any person among them so infa-
tuated as to suppose that Parliament will ever
give its sanction to such a demolition of private
property for an object so utterly inadequate.—
We do not quarrel with their taste at all. We
do not deny that it would be extremely desirable
to obtain a better view of St. Paul's than we now
get; and if that could be done by rounding off a
few corners, and by pulling down some twenty
or thirty houses with the consent of the owners,
the object would be well worth the attempt ;
but upon the scale proposed by these people, it
neither can nor ought to be attempted. There
cannot be much doubt, but that if the scheme
had taken possession of John Bull's fancy, Mr.
Elmes, the architect, might have realized his
commission of one half of the sum advertised for,
say on 500,0001., which at 2-1- per cent. must have
amounted to 12,500/. This is the way in which
nice little fortunes are made.
