- CORN EXCLIANGE Ditc 16.
The arrivals of last week are again extremely large, aud the
fresh supplies of this morniqg from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk,
are tolerably good. Prime samples of Wheat obtained rather
more money at the earlier part of the morning, but the trade
afterwards became dull for allsorts, at the same prices as last
quoted. Barley does not sell so freely as of late, and the prices
are rather. lower. Good dry Beans fully maintain- their value,
but other kinds are very dull sale, and rather cheaper. Barley
and Grey Peas remain unaltered from last Monday's prices.
The large supply of Oats has caused much dullness in this
trade, and except for the printest parcels. last week's prices
cannot be obtained: Flour remains unaltered.

OLD ENGLISH SCHEME.
CARROLL, in conjunction with the other
Contractors for the Present Lottery, has., felt it his
duty to comply with the Public Wish, by the revival of the
plain strait-forward Scbemes of the old English Lotteries, in
which there are No Classes, No Fixed Prizes, nor any Stock
Prizes. Any further comment or recommendation of the
Scheme, on his part, must be unnecessary, as he is assured
that what the Public have called for they will patronise. The
present Lottery begins NEXT WEDNESDAY, and contains
120 CAPITALS, including

portion of the capital Prizes, including
FIVE of 480,000 and FIVE of £20,000!

RICHARDSON, GOODLUCK, and CO.
beg leave to congratulate their Friends and the Pub-
lic on the restoration of the Old English Lotteries, and take
the liberty to recomuiend to their patronage it Scheme which
they plede themselves to be deserving of it, as it combines
all the features 'most attractive to adventurers.—There are
NO CLASSES—the Prizes are ALL STERLING MONEY,
and the whole 120 CAPITALS are floating, and may ALL be

have let loose upon the.. country, for the sake of '
the unworthy gains which accrue from the in-
famous trade in which they have embarked. In-
deed, the behaviour of the unhappy man in
question, during his trial was such as to
draw from the Chief Justice the expression of a
doubt as to his being in a sane state of mind.—
Next to the satisfaction which we feel at a ver-
dict that again vindicates the religion of the State
from the profane attacks of the enemies of So-
ciety, is that which we experienced from witness-
ing the dignity and temper with which the Court
condescended to sustain the rude insults of the
ignorant and infatuated defendant, whose frantic
and irrelevant conduct, and impertinent and flip-
pant expressions, were certainly calculated to
put the utmost forbearance and gravity of the
judicial character to the test. The result of
these petty and despicable assaults is only to
elevate that character still higher in dignity, and
to afford to the world additional evidence of the
incorruptible purity of British Justice. The
contrast between the upright and inflexible dig-
nity of an English Judge, and some of the scenes
exhibited in the courts of justice in France, must
increase the veneration in which our own admi-
rable institutions are held by every intelligent
and reflecting mind.

THE THEATRES: •

DRURY-LANE.—Mt. YOUNG repeated his per-
formance of Hamlet last night, and was attended
by a very numerous audience. The Play itself
justly ranks among the very best productions of
our great dramatic Bard, and therefore its attraction
is creditable to the public taste. Since the re-
cession of Mr. JOHN KEmar,E, the character now
legitimately belongs to the rival legatees, Mr.
YOUNG and Mr. C. KEmar.E,and, therefore, a com-
petition between these two excellent Performers
would doubtless render that admirable Drama
still more attractive, and strongly tend. to the re-
vival of a sound critical taste in the public.
WEST LONDON THEATRE.—We- may indeed
congratulate the public on the accession of Mr.
BRUNTON to the Management of this elegant
little Theatre, which is now fast rising into po-
pularity. The indefatigable Manager has just
produced two new pieces, one founded on
REyNorms's Comedy of The Will. This Bur-
letta is admirably sustained in all the characters ;
but the great attraction of the . evening is the
_Minna Mandeville of Miss BRlncrox. When we
witness so much talent as this young Lady dis-
plays in all the characters that she undertakes,'
we think it is a reflection on the judgment of the
Patent Managers that she has not a yermanent
situation on the Winter Boards. Thetafterpiece'
is a translation from the French, the story of
which resembles in some degree "Forty Thieves,"
from the Arabian Nights, but without the aid 'of
Fairies and Genii. It is well put together,
and supported by such performers as BRUN•
TON'S Loveday, and MISS BRUNTON'S Morgiana,
could 'scarcely fail of success. It was received
with great applause by a very numerous and re-
spectable audience, and announced for repetition
amidst repeated marks of approbation;

MISS STEPHENS and Mr. LEONI LEE are now
at Edinburgh where they are engaged for twelve
nights at the theatre, and appeared on Monday
last as Polly and Macheath. LEONI LEE has
proved himself on the Haymarket boatds a very
pleasing singer, and respectable as an Actor.
Miss JARMAN, who has been so popular on the
Bath Stage as to render it strange that she has
not yet found her way to a London Theatre, is
engaged to perform a few nights in Dublin, and she
made a very successful debut there on Saturday,
as Letitia Hardy.
Bury Theatre was well attended on Saturday
night, when the Duke of NORFOLK bespoke the
play. The company has obtained a fresh acces-
sion of strength in Miss GLOVER, the daughter of
the esteemed actress of that name at Drury-lane.
She made her debut as a singer in Rosina, on
Thursday, and was received with great eclat.

ssverest punishment which did not degrade.—i
The disgrace of the punishment will even react
upon the vice of gaming itself, and render
it so disreputable and odious, that a regard for
the mere law of opinion—which is, indeed, one
of the most powerful of laws—will make men
shrink from all contact with it. It is not known,
nor could it be easily carculated, to what extent
the ranks of guilt and shame are recruited from
these preparatory schools of corruption. 'We
do not mean to condemn the zeal with which
libellous trash is hunted down, or deny the
tendency of these publications to corrupt the
popular mind; but it may be asserted, with-
out peril of departing from the truth, that these
cradles of infamy—the gaming houses,—far ex-
ceed them in practical demoralization, and in
furnishing victims for the severity of our penal
code. The criminal jurisprudence of England
is reproached with resting too exclusively upon
the effect of punishment, without providing for
the prevention of crime. In some respects this
speaks rather the praise than the reproach of our
free Constitution, whose genius allows to man a
great latitude of freedom over his actions and his
property. But this is a case in which no free-
dom is invaded—nothing required but the vigor-
ous enforcement of the law. It is matter of won-
der that in a city, possessing a police so strong and
so well organized as London, society should not be
purified of these pest-houses in the course of three
months. Let them be attacked with the same
rigour and earnestness with which the unlicensed
gaming-houses in France, and unlicensed lotteries
amongst ourselves, are assailed—in fact, let the
interests of public morality be protected with the
same zeal as those of the public revenue, and the
event may be answered for.

COLOMBIAN LOAN.

The following letter has been addressed by
M. 'LEA, to the Contractors for the Colombian
Loan :

" Bedfont, Oct. 22, 1822.

" GENTLEMEN—The Proclamation issued by the Vice-
President of the Republic of Colombia, dated Bogota, the Ist
June, to which you have drawn my attention, has not reached
me through any authorized channel,- but I see no reason to
doubt its authenticity. I attribute this Proclamation, in fact,
to very earnest representations which I have urged upon the
Government, on the necessity of preventing, in future, its
powers from being applied to purposes not within their due
scope, and sub-delegated to other persons not contemplated by
the Government.

" In reference to the Loan negotiated with you at Paris, I
can only refer you to the power deposited in your hands, signed
by the executive authority, most complete in its form and te-
nor, and which has never been revoked in the slightest degree,
directly or indirectly.
" In unison with the power itself, .he instructions with
which I am furnished specially direct me to raise a Loan in
Europe, whenever it should be practicable, and on conditions
which have not been exceeded in my engagement with you.
" No advice has yet reached me of my despatches, which
announced the Contract for the Loan having arrived at Bogota.
" Having, in no respect, exceeded the powers granted to me
by the Government of Colombia, I have only to add, that the
Government will be found faithful, in all respects, to the en-
gagements I have entered into its behalf.-1 have the honour
to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient humble servant,

BUCKS MICHAELMAS SESSIONS.

[From the Bucks Chronicle.]
AYLESBURY, TUESDAY, OCT. 15.

The Duke of BUCKINGITAISI, for the first tinie since his ele-
vation in rank, took the chair, at about half-past 11 o'clock; and
about noon, the Gland Jury having come into the gallery with
Eagle, Esq., at their head, as foreman, his Grace proceed-
ed to deliver his charge, which made a considerable impression.
His Grace first noticed the comparatively small number of
persons to be tried for great offences, whence he inferred two
important points—the decrease of crime, and the general
good disposition of the county. These manifestations were
very gratifying at so important a period of time as the pre..
scot ; in which, though there was much of hardship, yet he
hoped and looked for alleviation. In the mean time, he
begged the yeomanry to encourage every due submission to the
laws and loyalty to the Crown. Nevertheless, he had to re-
gret that persons connected with the public press were pro-
moters of discontent, and the factious made it a vehicle for its
dissemination. His Grace stated, that he remembered when
similar efforts Were made in times past, when there were two
contending parties, which united to defeat those arts ; and he
called upon the Grand Jury and the Yeomanry now to direct
their endeavours to the same effect.

The Grand Jury being dismissed, and the usual preliminary
business over, the Court adjourned to the chamber below, where
what is called the private business of the county is transacted
with closed doors.

Gentlemen,—ln accepting this splendid Star of a Knight
Commander of the Most Honourable Military Order of the
Bath, I feel a difficulty in expressing the sense I entertain of
this honourable and liberal token of esteem bestowed on me by
the Legislative Body of this Colony, where I have had the hap-

own feelings, and where I have been blessed with the confidence
and support of all ranks of society in it.
Gentlemen—My warmest acknowledgments are particularly
due to you for this gratifying and munificent Vote of the 4th of
December last, and to assure you that this hiahly valued pre-
sent, worn next to my heart, will ever serve to remind me of the
affectionate attachment that devotes me to the interest of St.
Vincent.

Gentlemen—The very flattering manner which you have
adopted in presenting me with this valuable Star, by a Com-
mittee of the whole House, adds greatly to the value of the
gift, and renders me more inadequate to express to you how
grateful I am for this particular mark of your attention, and I
sincerely hope you will live long to watch over and guard the
real interests of this loyal, generous, and valuable Colony.

COMMAND OF THE TROOPS IN IRELAND.

Lieutenant-General Lord Comberemere, G.C.8., who has
been lately appointed to succeed the late Liutenant-General Sir
S. Auchmuty, in the Command of tile Troops in Ireland, does
not assume the Command, as Commander-in-Chief of the
Troops in that part of the United Kingdom ;—that office being
abolished, on the retirement of Sir David Baird, G.C.B. and
K.C.—but merely as Lieutenant-General, commanding the
Forces. The reduction in the pay being, therefore, very con-
siderable, the Office of the Commander of the Forces in Ire-
land can consequently be considered, at the present moment,
more as an honorary than an advantageous appointment.

lIIIDDLESIX SESSIONS, Oc T. 23.

John Semple' was indicted for assaulting a person of the name
of Lewis.
The short facts of the case as they were proved in evidence
were these :-.—The defendant found a boy in his orchard, steal-
ing his apples: he took the lad, and after dipping him in a
horse-pond, put a rope round his body, and suspended him in
the air for some time by means of a crane which was on his
wharf in Camden-town. The prosecutor; alarmed by the cries
of " murder" uttered by the lad, hastened to the spot. He
remonstrated with the defendant, and in return for his humane
interference received a sound beating.
Witnesses were examined for the defence, by which it was
endeavoured to-be sworn that the-prosecutor had the best of the
fight, and was the first anressor.
The Jury found the defendant Guilty, and he was fined IN.
by the Comet.

IRELAtiD.

[FROM THE CORK MERCANTILE CHRONICLE, MARCH 4.1
Burning of Ballycahane Douse and Offices.—
These extensive buildings were totally consumed
last night by the insurgents, who previously re-
moved the horses ; the house was fortunately
unoccupied. Ballycahane is the estate of George
Leake, Esq., and is situated within six miles of
this city.

Yesterday evening, at seven o'clock, Henry
Shebat), conveying the mail from Rathkeale to
Shanagolden and the Kerry line, and an escort
of the 3d Light' Dragoons, were fired at by some
ruffians behind a ditch, who killed the postman
and his horse, wounded the dragoon, and took
off the mail. The occurrence took place so near
the town of Rathkeale, in this county, that the
shots were heard by the police and 42d, who in-
stantly repaired to the scene, and found the postman
weltering in his blood ; he was conveyed to the
military hospital, where he languished in extreme
agony, and breathed his last at twelve o'clock.
The dragoon (who fired four shots) is badly
wounded in the thigh. A vigilant pursuit was
set up for the perpetrators, and several fellows
were taken up, who, if not concerned in the mur-
der, will be tried under the Insurrection Act.
About the hour of two o'clock on Thursday,
the house and offices of Ballydaniel were disco-
vered on fire from the town of Newcastle, when
several Gentleman and Officers repaired to the
attic story of the Castle of Lord Courtenay,
where they plainly perceived the flames, a distance
of four miles. A party of the 3d Dragoons and
some Police instantly went to the protection of
the house and property, but every atom was con-
sumed, with several barrels of potatoes which
were in an out-house. The outrage was perpe-
trated by, eight men in women's apparel, with
their faces blackened and well armed, who re-
tained for a considerable time viewing the con-
flagration.
Wednesday night, 31 cows, the property of
Edward Carte, Esq. were taken off the lands of
Doally, within a mile of Newcastle, by a large
party of
_insurgents, who fired several shots,•and
left a guard on the herdsman's house, lest he
should see the direction they were conveyed to ;
the same night 15 sheep were stolen from John
Sheehy, an industrious farmer, and 14. cows from
Ardagh; this makes nearly 100 head of cattle
stolen within the last week, and it, is extraor-
dinary that no trace can be had of them.
• On the night of Thursday last, the farm-house
of Killenemona, occupied by Dennis Flaherty,
situate within half a mile of the town of Bailin-
garry, and a military post, was attacked by an
armed banditti, who maliciously burned said
house, and a great quantity of property therein
belonging to Flaherty, who incurred the displea-
sure of the newly-assumed Governor " Rock."—
The house was the property of Mr. Massy, of
Clanwilliam.

On the same night, twenty-eight cows, which
had been grazing on the lands of Ballykevan, in
the parish of Ballingarry, the property of Mr.
James Shaughnessy, were entirely plundered ;
eight of them were slaughtered on the road near
Kilmidy, within a mile or less of a military post.

DIALOGUE

BETWEEN A FARMER AND &PEDLAR.
Late a pedlar fatigued with the weight of his load,
Got a farmer to give him a lift on the road,
And having as usual a good deal to say, .
Ask'cl him what sort of price he expected to-day ?
As the granaries upwards were all very full,
So the market he thought would be probably dull.
FARRIER. It were better to give to my sorrow relief,
Than recall to my mind all the cause of my grief.
Since the hope's of good markets for ever are lost,
And my corn can ne'er pay Inc one half it has cost.
But soon produce and labour their level may. find
And I cou'd with small profits go on to my mind,
I cou'd live still as well as our fathers of yore,
If the griping collector ne'er call'd at my door ;
But at times inconvenient he comes for his money,
And my boy calls a groom, 'cause he saddles, my poney.
First our bus'ness with licens'd surveyors commences
At the price of three guineas, besides their expences.
For what unlicens'd neighbours us'd always to do,
•
When we paid them no more than a guinea or so.
Now our lawyers too licens'd Most shockingly fleece,
Sure to make an exorbitant charge for The lease ;
And whenever we layour objections before 'em
They immediately cry there's a tax ad valorem.
Yet still further we're tax'd for our leather and malt,
For our hats and our soap, for our candles and salt ;
And should eeay-duty* e'er be enforc'd, as it may,
I am perfectly sure we must all run away.
PEDLAR. Yet you made no complaint in the time of the war,
When the rate of taxation was higher by far.
F. For a very good reason, the price was so great,
That my corn brought an influx of wealth to my gate.
P. It was not through taxation the price became less ;
Then it was not taxation that caus'd your distress.
F. Such conclusion's provoking, but talking is vain,
When the tongue seeks to puzzle, and not to explain.
P. Than your neighbours abroad you are better off still,
For their corn is so cheap, lie may reap it who will ;
Yet although in that country no taxes are known,
They complain of distresses as bad as your own.
P. What ! as bad as our own ! though I've just heard you
say
That they live at full keep and have nothing to pay ?
A most impudent falsehood !—get out of my cart,
Buckle on your great pack and trudge on to the mart.
As you go up the hills you will learn, it' you doubt it,
Whether walking's as well with loada as without it.

The duty on the highways, by the last act, became un-
reasonably severe, being passed at a time when farmers were
thought able to bear unlimited burdens.
- -

No TE—Our load of debt, however, 1.:.s been incurred from
necessity in defence of our lives and liberties, and our taxes
must be raised till it be fairly and honestly paid, if we hope to
support the character of honourable men.

. SONNET TO THE MOON.*
" Oh ! thou pale orb" I love to gaze on thee,
Whilst thou art traversing thine azure path,
In the still hour of midnight—then from me,
The world, the cheerless world, with all it hatli
Of cold arra heartless, steals like a shade away,
And Fancy only sleeps not, peopling thy sphere
ith fair and lovely forms, pure as the ray
That falls evin now in chasten'd splendor hare—
But whilst thus musing, should some gloomy cloud'
Come floating sternly o'er the calm expanse,
And wrap thy beauties in its dusky shroud,
Alas ! how soon—snatch'd from its fleeting trance.—
The mind awakes but to a deeper pain—
The forms of brightness fade—and all is dark again.

sarabia have made fresh movements, indicative of
commencing hostilities, and corresponding move-
ments have been also made by the Turks ; but
not only do the latter display this activity in the
neighbourhood of the Russian armies, but the
agents of the GRAND SEIGNIOR are unremitting
in their exertions to raise recruits in every part
of the Turkish empire, and march them instant-
ly to Constantinople. Indeed the measures pur-
sued by both parties leave little doubt of war.—
Hostilities between Persia and the Porte are re-
ported to be carried on vigorously ; and the
affairs of Greece aro proceeding favourably. All
the fortresses in the Peninsula are in the power
of the Greeks, the inhabitants of the Greek

islands are volunteering iii numbers to join their
countrymen on the Continent, and it is reported
in all the French Papers" that accounts from the
Morea announce the arrival at Argos of an Agent
from the United States of America, who' had
informed the Greeks that tile Congress would
send them five frigates, with munitions for
40,000 men, in the beginning of May. 'This
news, to which, however, little 'credit is to be
attached, is said to have filled the Greeks with
the liveliest enthusiasm, and that salvos of artil-
lery from all points have been fired on the
occasion.

The accounts from Madrid are of a satin•
factory nature. The KING, report says, has
entrusted the formation of the new Ministry to
Senor MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, whose principles
are known to be friendly to the present Consti-
tution of Spain. Senor MoscosA is talked of as
the new Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Senor
BANQUERI as the Finance Minister; and the
President and Vice President of the new Cortes
will, it is said, be the celebrated CANGA AR.

NAVY FIVE PER CENTS. BILL.

Mr. GRENFELL wished to ask the Hon. Secretary of the
Treasury whether there was any intention of bringing up the
Report of the Navy Five per Cents. Bill that night. Ile also
wished to know what remuneration was to be allowed to the
Bank upon these transactions.
Mr. LUSHINGTON said, that understanding that several
Gentlemen had gone away not expectilig* that the Navy rive
per Cents. Bill would come on this evening, he thought it his
duty to postpone the consideration of the Report until to-
morrow ; but he trusted that if the alterations made the Bill,
should, as he had no doubt they would, he approved by the
House, they would allow it to be read a third time to-morrow,
as it was of great importance to the public service that it should
pass this House at the earliest period.
Mr. GRENFELL saw no objection to the course proposed
by the Hon. Member, and being friendly to thd principle of the
Bill, was desirous of seeing it pass speedily into a law.
Lord FOLKESTONE presented a petition from a Mr.
Philip Bouverie, upon the, subject of the above Intl. The
petitioner stated that he was sole Trustee fora Gentleman re-
siding
,abroad, who held stock in the Navy Five per Cents.—
That under the Act of the 533 of his late Majesty any impro-
per application of this property was rendered punishable by
transportaion. He therefore prayed the House to introduce
into the said Bill a clause for enlarging the time for dissent to
persons similarly circumstanced, upon verifying the fact that
the stock standing in, their names was not bona fide their pro-
perty.
Mr. LUSHINGTON said, that it was the intention of Go-
vernment to propose a clause for the lengthening the time of
dissent allowed to trustees. He supposed this was a case which
would come within the meaning of the clause.
After a few words from Mr. BtrirmrtwoaTii, which were
inaudible in the gallery, the petition was ordered to be printed.
SUPERANNUATION BILL.

Mr. LUSHINGTON said, that, in consequence of the con-
tinued indisposition of his Right Hon. Friend the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, he proposed that the consideration of .the
Superannuation Act should be postponed until Monday next.

PUBLIC. INSTITUTIONS.

SOCIETY OF FRIENDS OF FOREIGNERS IN DIS•
TRESS.—The Annual Meeting of this Philan-
thropic Institution was held yesterday, at the
City of London Tavern, when a Report of the
proceedings for the past year was read. In this
it was stated, that relief had been granted in up-
wards of eleven thousand cases since the esta-
blishment of the Society in 1807, besides the
constant assistance given to fifty aged and infirm
Pensioners upon the bounty of the Society. It
also appeared that in administering relief to so
many deserving objects, the funds had sustained
a considerable pressure, requiring all the co-
operating exertions of its friends to render the
resources adequate to the great benevolent ob-
ject of the Institution.
SURREY DIS,rENS.URY•—The Anniversary of
this Institution was celebrated yesterday, at the
London Tavern, by a considerable number of its
supporters and friends. The Chair was filled by
FLORENCE YOUNG, Esq., who is, we believe, one
of the founders of this laudable Charity. The
donations announced in the course of the evening
were very considerable, and exceeded those of
the year preceding. Dr. Davis gave a very in-
telligent and interesting account of the Society's
object, its success, and its prospects. The state-
Iment appeared to give general satisfaction, and
was much applauded. The evening was spent
in true conviviality, and the company did not se-
parate until a late hour. The following is the
latest publi,shed :—Patients admitted from Ja-
nuary Ist, 1821, to January, Ist, 1822, 4,195—
Cured 3,243—Relieved 254—Discharged for
irregularity, gone into the country, hospitals,
&c. 51—Dead 78—Remaining under cure 569
Total 4,195.

INFIRMARY FOR ASTIIMA AND CONSUMPTION,
&c.—Yesterday evening the Anniversary Festival
of this Institution was held at the London Ta-
vern, Bishopsgate-street, and was very respectably
attended. The LORD MAYOR, in the Chair, sup-
ported by Mr. Sheriff Garratt, Mr. Alderman
Ileygate, Rev. Sir Samuel Clarke Jervoise, Bart.
&c. The Infirmary is extended for the recep-
tion of poor persons afflicted with asthma, con-
sumption, and other diseases of the lungs. From
the opening of the Infirmary, in March, 1814, to
the 31st of Deceinber,•lB2l, there has been ad-
mitted 4818 out-patients, and 171 in-patients.—
In the course of the evening Messrs. Collyer,
Broadhurst, and Philips, sung several excellent
songs and glees, &c. and several appropriate and
effective speeches were delivered in support of
the Institution. The contribntions were liberal,
and the company did not separate until a late
hour.
