THE ARMY.

By the orders of General Sir CUARLE3 DOYLE, the detach,
meats of the infantry stationed in and about A bbeyfeale, county,
of Limerick, proceeded every day last week across the dilierenS
mountains of that neighbourhood, in order, it is said, to ascer-
tain how far the military could actin those quarters, in ca3e of
any renewed disturbances. It is even hinted that he require's a
strict account of all the bye roads, rivers, streams and bridges •
leading to, and communicating with, those mountains. Captain
Woolfe, who commands the parties, also proceeded across the
Feale, into Kerry, for the purpose of making a hiflailar survey
in that neighbourhood.

THE DUNE OF CUMBERLAND'S ARRIVAL IN ENGLAND.

Yesterday morning, at five o'clock, the Duke of CuainEn-
LAND, in a travelling carriage and four, arrived at his Royal
Highness's apartment in St. James's Palace. The Duke had
travelled all night. His Royal Highness was accompanied by
Major Pornton only ; he is, however, expected to be followed
by the Prussian Prince Augustus, who, together with the Duke
of Cumberland, had an audience of the King of France in
Paris, on Tuesday last. They then took leave of the French
Monarch. Colonel Thornton, who had been dispatched from
Windsor by his Majesty, as soon as he learned that the Duke
was on his way to England, was in waiting at the Palace ready
to receive the Duke of Cumberland, and to impart to him his
Majesty's commands. The King was desirous that the Duke
should proceed to Windsor, after his arrival at St. James's
Palace, with as little delay as possible. The Duke of Cum-
, berland partook of coffee, and reposed a short time ; but the
carriage and horses were ordered to be in readiness soon after
seven o'clock. At half-past seven o'clock (the Duke having
rested little more than two hours), his Royal Highness started
for Windsor, accompanied by Colonel Thornton, &c. to pay
his duties to his M ajesty. The Duke of Cumberland and Ma-
jor pornton have travelled directed from Paris, making no fur-
ther delays on the road than were required to procure the requi-
site changes and means of conveyance ; and though his Royal
Highness was much fatigued on his arrival at St. James's
Palace, he appeared to be in excellent health and spirits, and
he very graciously acknowledged the respectful attention of his
establishment at the Palace. The carriage went through the
Park and along Constitution Hill, so that his Royal Highness
had an opportunity of seeing the extensive alterations and new
buildings in progress at York House, Buckingham Palace, &c.

THE COMETS.

It is a remarkable circumstance, that the comet
which has appeared in the south so conspicuously,
on every clear night for the last week, should
-mot have been noticed in any English or Conti-
nental Journal. This must be owing to the con-
stantly clouded state of the atmosphere. A corres-
pondent of the Cork Chronicle says, that on Sunday
last, two comets were visible, of equal brilliancy,
at the hour of 11 at. night, one nearly due south,
the other S.S.E., of equal altitude ; only one of
these has been observed in Dublin, as far as we
can learn. There is, however, a third comet, or
nebulous appearance resembling one, in the con-
stellation Taurus. Should it be a fact that three
comets are together in our system, it is a circum-
stance worthy the attention of astronomers.—
(Dublin Evening Post.)
The Comet that is now visible, and which some
of the Journals consider as a new one, is the same
as that discovered on the 16th of July last, by
M. Pons, at Marlia, and announced at that
period. Since then it has been seen at Pa.
ris, and in all the observatories in Europe.—
Though very small when seen for the first
thae, it has, in approaching the sun, become
considerably larger, and acquired sufficient light
to be visible to the naked eye. Its tail is from
three to four degrees long, and its motion con-
tinues to he very slow. It wilt be seen for some
time, and when its brilliancy is not eclipsed by
the light of the moon, it will be easily discovered
near Taurus, in the East, where it rises about
ten o'clock in the evening, and continues visible
throughout the night.—(Paris Paper.)

Mr. Enwit‘ Jontisom, has been appointed to
the Office of State Steward, left vacant by the
promotion of Sir C. Campbell to the rank of
Major-General. It is stated in the Mail, that
the first Aide-de-Camp, Colonel D'Arcy, look-
ed forward to the Office, and that in consequence
of its baying been conferred upon another,
.he has sent in his resiguatiou.—(Dublin Morning
jitegitter.)

COLOMBIA.

ADVANCEMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
The Senate anti Chamber of Representatives
of the Republic of Colombia, assembled in Cangress, having
examined the communication of the Executive of the 14th inst.
and considering that the decayed state of agriculture in the Re-
public arises from the exlmustion of the properies of the citizens,
in consequence of the effects of the long war they have sustained,
and of other physical causes which have Operated in some de-
partments; and considering, likewise, that it is the duty on
Congress to remove all obstacles to the advancethent of the
public wealth, have thought tit to decree, and do decree as
follows :
Art. 1. The sum of one million of dollars shall be destined
from the funds of the loan., fo: the advancement of agriculture.

2. This sum shall be distributed by the Executive amongst
the agricultural departments, according to the greater or less
necessity in which thdy may be placed.
3. The Executive shall arrange the mode of lending this sum
to the as with such securities as it may deem neces-
sary for the protection of the treasury.
4. Proprietors shall pay an interest of 6 per cent. per annum
upon the sum they may receive for this purpose.
5. The capital borrowed shall be repaid within 15 years, at
the discretion of the agriculturists, who may redeem the same
wholly or in part, when they may find it convenient, within the
afore-mentioned period.
6. No agriculturist can receive a loan of more than 6,000 nor
lets than 1,000 dollars.
7. Should any one fail to pay the interest punctually each
year on the capital so received, he shall be proceeded against
for payment of capital and interest into the public treasury;
and the capital so recovered shell be appropriated to another
candidate on the same terms.
0. No debtor to the public treasury, whose period of pay-
ment is gone by, shall receive any part of this loan.
9. According to the urgency of those expences which the
funds of this loan are, by the decree of the 24th March, 14,
destined to cover, the Executive may diminish, the sum as-
.signed by the fast article, provided the whole cannot be des-
tined to this interesting object ; but otherwise the full sum shall
be advanced. _ _ _

[MORNING POST.]

We regret to find that in the County of Lin-
coln a number of Agricultural Proprietors have
considered the period of agitation and difficulty,
from, which we are slowly and labouriously
emerging, a fit, season for throwing the great
question of the Corn Laws upon the Govern-
ment and the manufacturing and commercial in.
terests of the country. The only reason or elt.

case which they have for taking a step so likely,
if followed up, to delay the complete restoration
of public confidence and tranquillity, is the
intimation given by Mr. Huskisson in the
last Session of Parliament, that a Committee of
the House of Commons should inquire into the
effect of the existing Corn Laws, and report
according to the evidence which they should col-
lect. Surely in the course of the six months
which have just elapsed, they might have chosen
a more favourable moment than the present for
raising considerations of this importance, and
raising them, for what purpose ? Were an Act
on the point of being passed which they thought
injurious to their interests, it would he reasona-
ble and natural that they should be eager to op.
pose it without suffering themselves to be re-
strained by the hopes or wishes of others. But
here there is no such danger, and their real
object must be to prevent, not a legislative enact-
ment, but a Parliamentary inquiry. This is
going rather far : farther indeed than has yet
been done since the establishment of a Con-
stitution in this empire, which, for sound and
cogent reasons of national utility, permits and
even ordains that the doors of investigation into
all that concerns the welfare of the public
should never be closed. To decide, as the pe-
tition of the Lincolnshire Landholders takes upon
itself to do, that the result of what a Committee
of the House of Commons would report after a
due and formal inquiry, must be nothing but
" theory and speculation ;" and to pray that the
"c agricultural interests may not be sacrificed,"
to such theories and speculations, which, on the
contrary, may prove to be sound practical wis-
dom and justice, is to attempt that which no man
is justified in doing'. It is to calumniate Parlia-
ment by anticipation ; it is to alarm the only inte-
rest which has remained unmoved and uninjured
during the late agitation, and it is to do so at a time
when every true friend to public advantage and
national prosperity would be anxious, on the con-
trary, to assuage unreasonable fears, to re-unite
all disparting views, to restore confidence, and
to strengthen public credit. The Lincolnshire
Landholders have agreed upon petitioning : at
least the comparatively few who attended the
Meeting have done so. Let them present their
Petition, uncalled for as it may be ; but let them
not be so inconsiderate as to carry into effec
their resolution of convening district meetings a
this moment, if the general peace and welfare o
the country have still any value in their esti
ma Lion.

Tne LATE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.—The last
worth of the Emperor ALEXANDER were proofs
of his profound resignation to the decrees of Pro-
vidence. lle had y,laced his life and empire in
the hands of him who was master of his heart,
end by whom even Kings did reign. His last
moments wore calm. A. few hours before his
death, he ordered his window blinds to be
opened, and exclaimed, when looking at the sky
of the Crimea, how beautiful ! The funeral
cortege of the ENIPEnott has 500 leagues to
travel, and no doubt the whole population will go
out to pay their respects to the body of their late
EMPEROR.—It ►s now certain that ALEXANDER
had not made any disposition of the Crown
contrary to the statutes of PAUL ; and all
that '.,as been said about the rejection of CON.
STANTINE is false. Letters from Berlin say that
the death of the Emputor. has produced the
most lively impression, and particularly in the
Royal Family.

Berlin is about to be lit with gas, and the ne-
cessary works are proceeding with great activity.
Pipes are already laid down in several streets,
and gasometers will be constructed near the bar-
riers. Several chemists doubt if this mode of
lighting will succeed in very cold weather.
Saturday morning, at four o'clock, an express
arrived at the General Post-office in Lombard-
street, addressed to the Postmaster-General, the
envelope signed by Lord Viscount STRANGFORD;
and sealed with black wax. It was understood
that this envelope contained a dispatch for Mr.
Secretary CANNING, which was forwarded to the
Foreign Office.
Sunday morning Mr. Lirrer.r.wood, one of the
King's foreign messengers, arrived at the Foreign
Office in Downing-street, with dispatches for Mr.
Secretary CANNING, from Lord Viscount STRANG-
roan, our Ambassador at the Court of Russia.
In consequence of the recognition of the inde-
pendence of Hayti by France, an English Consul
will, it is said, be immediately appointed to re-
side at Port-au-Prince.
Mr. BLINGOUGH, one of the Proprietors of the
Coburg Theatre, died this morning, at 9 o'clock,
of a tnortification in the stomach..

This tno ming. upene4 82. 82-i
Consols opentd this-morning at 82 to Elk, and
gradually declined to 81 4---the quotation at 1
o'clock. There has been but little spirit in the
market. The Hebrews are now • determined
Bears ; the City Chancellor especially has got
rid of au immense amount. The Jobbers
from the West are shy—the price.of Consols 'ap-
par,ently above their mark. Money, in the
House, may be termed more than fiasy—Ex-
'chequer Bills, with the exception of the large
ones, being at a pretniam. The Panic in the
money-market has now unquestionably subsided--
' money out of doors' is nevertheless extremely
difficult. This shew's that the extent of pri-

vote embarrastnent is not yet ascertained.
On the 13th of the present month, the Bank
began to extend relief, by fresh issues to the
public—and in the fourteen days that have
elapsed, are computed to have increased the
amount of Bank notes in circulation, from seven
to nine millions, making An aggregate- circula%
tion of nearly twenty-seven millions. In July
1817 the amount of Bank Notes in circulation
was 31 millions, and of Country Notes, 15 mil-
lions, making together a circulation of 46 millions.
lf, to the 27 millions of Bank Notes, computed
to be now in circulation, be added 13 millions, the

computed amount of country notes remainin4,l
the total circulation of paper will be six millions I
below that of July 1817. It will, however,
be kept in mind, that the Bank, in 1817, was
not subject to be called upon for gold
in payment—and hence the present circulation of
Bank notes, must be considered as subjecting the
Bank to a liability, which nothing but the impera-
tive necessity of the late crisis could have urged
it to incur. That the Bank will take the earliest
opportunity of contracting this extraordinary cir-
culation, can therefore admit no doubt. To
appearance, the Funds have not been much affect-
ed to-day by rumours, although in private, a report
has been in circulation, of the probable encrease
of our naval force, particularly in the Mediterra-
nean. The policy that may be adoped by Constan-
tine cannot but be viewed with doubt, although
the letters from Paris assert the new Emperor to
have already announced his resolution to persevera
in the pacific policy of his brother :

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

THE KING, &c.

Wiignson., DEC. 26.—His MAJESTY'S Phaetons were or-
dered to be in attendance at two o'clock this day, but from the
appearance of the weather, it is not likely that his Majesty will
leave the Royal Lodge. His Majesty attended the new Private
Chapel yesterday morning, where he heard Divine Service and
received the Secrament from the Rev. Dr. Sumner, his Ma-
jesty's Private Chaplain. His Majesty did not take an airing
either on Saturday or yesterday. On Saturday her Royal High-
ness the Duchess of Gloucester visited the Princess Augusta at
Frogmore. The Royal Duchess afterwards went to the Lodge
in the Great Park, and paid her respects to his Majesty, with
whom she had a long interview ; and, after partaking of re-

THE THEATRE.

COVENT•GARDEN.—After the diverting and
-dramatic kind was
innteerwestAinigteorpldiecCe of omedthyeol‘elo
of Woman Never Vext,
a lA
brought forward, under the title of Father and
Son, or the Rock of La Claarbonnicre. This
Piece is founded on an event not long since
stated in the Public Journals, as having actually
happened in France. The story is simply as
follows :—A Nobleman having squandered the
fortune of his ward, and as she would soon be of
age, when he must account for the trust, employs
a ruffian who had escaped from justice, and hid
himself in a wood, to murder her. The ruffian
gets into her chamber ; but the terror of the
ward, in having seen him pass, induces the
Nobleman's daughter to change beds for the
night. The ruffian, therefore, stabs the daughter
instead of the ward, but has not killed her. Ile,
bears off the body to bury it among the rocks, but
finding that she lives, and that she was the '
object of his former love, he bears her to hii cave,
intending her to be the victim of his passion.
The supposed murder is discovered—the Noble-
man anti. his son 'are taken into custody, but
escape to the rocks, where the Ruffian is dis -
vered and shot, and the Lady rescued. The
Nobleman also is shot by the soldiers, and thus
political justice is satisfied. There are many in-
cidental circumstances which we have not room
to notice. The Piece was well supported by
COORER, BENNETT, FARLEY, T. P. COOKE, Miss
LOYE, and Mrs. VINING. It experienced some
slight opposition, chiefly arising from the terrific
nature of the fable, but is likely to be repeated
with success, after some judicious curtailments.
The house was well attended.

The Tragedy of Masaniello has been with-
drawn, Mr. KEAN refusing to play the chief
part after the first night, considering it as un-
worthy of " the representative of SHAKSPEARE'S
heroes." !!!

DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT.—Within the last few,'

[BRITISO PRESS.]

The daily contradictions in the news from
Greece in the Continental Papers render the in-
formation they give us of little value. What
they contain one day they deny the next. In
the French Papers, received yesterday, the affairs
of the Patriots are represented to be in the most
ruinous condition. Ibrahim Pacha is said to be
proceeding steadily with the conquest of the
Nlorea, and the dissensions of the Greek Chief-
tains to be higher than at any former period. We
observe, however, that these statements are loose
and indefinite. No places are mentioned of
which the Egyptians had obtained possession
since they left Tripolizza. We are not disposed,
therefore, to place any reliance on these vague
reports. In Spain the Government is busy
arresting the suspected confederates of Bes-
sieres. These persons are mostly ecclesiastics,
and some Noblemen of high rank. The Mini-
ster Calomarde is about to be prosecuted for
his connexion with the Carlist conspiracy, While
Ferdivand is thus guarding against the dangers
with which his late Royalist friends threaten
him, he relaxes not from the work of destruction
against the Constitutionalists. Not only has the
gallant Empecinado been put to death, in viola-
tion of the capitulation on which he surrendered,
but two others have since suffered in like manner
at the very time when pursuit was making after
the Royalist rebels. These two individuals, who
were executed on the 24th ult. were named Igle-
sias and Santos. They were residing at Tarifa,
when that town was taken by the Constitution-
alists-, and as they remained there until it was
re-taken by the French, they were arrested
and condemned to death for high treason.
They met their fate with admirable heroism, espe-
cially Iglesias, whose conduct made a deep impres-
sion on the people of Madrid. These spectacles
are not calculated to fix more firmly the tottering
throne of Ferdinand Vll.—The Etoile contra-
dicts, in the most positive terms, the report that
a French fleet had sailed to take possession of
Cuba. The squadron whose movements have
excited alarm in the West Indies, was, it is
stated, to proceed in the direction of the Azores,
for the purpose of manoeuvring, previously to its
return to France.

Music.—The friends of Signor DE Braxxs
were again much gratified by a repetition of his musical con-
versaztone on Sunday evening last. A variety of new pieces
were performed, which, in addition to their novelty in this
country, had the recommendation of being most admirably ex-
ecuted. The quintette "'Oh quardate che accidents " was ex-
ceedingly well performed, and was also a new quartette ot.
GUGLIELMI, a repetition of which was demanded. The
Misses CawsE joined most effectually in a duet by 13xsuor, as
well as in some of the various quartettes, &c. Mademoiselle
F. MAnnioNl, although evidently suffering under the effects
of a cold, executed with considerable skill a very difficult duet
with DE BEGN is the vocal, part of which we understand is
arranged by the latter. It was highly applauded, and we be-
lieve that the compassionate feelings of the audience alone pre-
vented an encore. We have on previous occasions noticed the
rising talents of this young lady, and have no doubt from the
judgment which she manifested on Sunday evening, that she
would be a valuable acquisition to the King's theatre. We
were altogether much pleased with the Soiree, and are grati-
fied to find DE BEOHIs dedicate the only evening of relaxa-
tion from the duties of his profession to the private amusement
of his friends.

Yesterday morning letters were received in London from the
Duke of Cambridge, at Hanover, dated the 4th instant, when

CItIPPLEGATE WAItD.

SAVAGE rose to bring forward his promised motion
upon the subject of the Representation of the above Ward in
the Court of Common Council. He regretted be had not an
oppo' rttynity of doing so at the last Court, in consequence of
the multiplicity of business on that day. The object of the
petitiOrters was to equalize the representation of the Wards of
()Applegate Within and Cripplegate Without, and to make
such increase to the number of their representatives as the
Court might think proper. Mr. S. then asked the Town
Clerk to read the Resolution of the Court, when a smilar
Vetition was presented to the Court from the inhabitants
of the Ward of Farringdon Without, in the year 1736, which
being done,
_ _

Tie LORD MAYOR said, that as the question could not
he decided in sufficient time to be of any advantage to the
Ward during the present year, he would suggest to the
Worthy Gentleman the propriety of adjourning the debate until
the next Coint.

Mr. SAVAGE, however, moved that the petition be read,
which was seconded by Mr. Stevens.
Mr: Or.ristear said, he hoped the Worthy Member would
Withdraw his motion. Ile had no objection to go into a full con-
sideration of the state of representation in the Common Coun-
cil, but he looked to the matter generally, and not to one case
particular. He had an objection to make •in amine, which
,was, that the precepts had already been issued by the Alder-
men for the election, and the number of persons to be chosen
cduld,,not be increased without a new precept, which could not
be obtained until the next Court of Aldermen.

The RECORDER said, that so material an alteration could
not he made without the sanction of the Corporate Body.
The CITY SOLICITOR was of the same opinion.
Mr. Alderman WAITIIKArr said, there could be no doubt
nut. did the Ward was independently represented, and he
would recommend the Court to come to some resolutions upon
the subject first, and afterwards proceed in the manner pointed
.out by the City 'law Officers.
Mr:, OLDnragt then moved, that the consideration of the
question be adjourned until the next Court ; which was,
after a short iliscussiost between Mr. Galloway and Mr. Favell,

COURT 'OF COMMON COUNCIL.

A Court of Common Council was held yester.
day at Guildhall pursuant to a requisition received by the LORD
MAYOR, to take into consideration the report of the General
Purposes Committee on-the petition of the Ward of Cripplegate
Without, relating to the state of their representation in this
Court, 'And on other special affairs.

EQUITABLE. LOAN BANK COMPANY.
Kr. Alderman WAITHMAN said that, haying been prevented
by indisposition from attending the Court during the last six
months, he wished to obtain some information from the Re-
membrancer as to what had been done relative to the Charter
of the Equitable Loan Bank Company. Although the pre-
sent distress did not solely originate with that Company, yet
the present spirit of gambling originated with them. Among
the names of the persons who applied for the Charter, he found
thoseof Sir William Cotgreve and Mr. Thomas Clarke, per-
SODA who were principally concerned in getting up another
scheme, the subscribers to which held a meeting recently,
and which they kept as private as possible ; but, notwith-
standing all their secresy, certain facts . had come before the
public not very creditable to the parties concerned. It
appeared that the Directors of a certain Company bad appro-
priated 15,0001. to their own use. The predictions he had made
some time since, as to the result of the late mania for specula-
tion had been completely verified. After the Equitable Loan
Blink Company started, a thousand other equally delusive
schemes followed. Although engaging in such speculations had
been by some people called madness, yet it appeared to him
there was "a method in their madness." The Directors well
knew what they were about when they appropriated a certain
n.uritber of shares to their own use ; and the only persons who
could be considered mad were those who had been duped by
their promises and the inducements held out to them.' He
thought it was worth the while of the Court to consider whether
some Measure of a general nature ought not to be adopted, and
a petition presented to Parliament to inquire into all the delu-
sire schemes recently agitated. He would not • pledge himself
to bring forward any motion upon the subject at present,tut he
certainly would on sonic. future occasion.
The REMEMBRAIiCEIt then read the minutes of the pro-
ceedings of the Court relative to the above Company, withwhich
the Worthy Alderman expressed himself satisfied.
