from the wrongs of which it is their universal
feeling that those Courts have been, if not the pri-
mary causes, at least the active and cruel instru-
ments. We would not. have Lord Stowell, able as
he is, nor any practising Doctors of the civil law,
nor adroit Proctors not yet retired from busi-
ness, to manage by themselves the proposed re-
formation of the Prize Courts ; they may one
and all be clever and upright, and in their private
captLities liberal men ; but the very idea of such
persons appointed to such an office, would de-
prive the measure of every thing like public con-
fidence or satisfaction. So, in the same way, as
many unfortunate persons have long been mur-
muring at the inhuman delays experienced by
them i❑ the recovery of their prize claims from
the India Company, the matter there, too, ought
to be put in some course of redress. Ever since
the year 1818, the Deccan prize-money, as
we are• told, has been safely lodged in the
coffers of the Honourable Company. 11Thy has
it never yet been distributed ? Who has
had the handling of it ? Who has been fat-
tening on it ? Of course not the Honourable
Company, or its officers. The order for lodging
the proceeds in the Treasury was dated by the
Governor-General, April 8, 1818. The 4th and
reserve divisions of the army were the parties en-
titled to it : their right has never been disputed ;
the individuals are sufficiently identified ; they
are many of them distressed ; the representatives
of many who have sunk under disappointed hope
are at this moment utterly destitute ; many are
pining in prison. Have the Directors eyes and ears
—have they hearts, that they permit, nay, them-
selves prolong, such misery ? Do they know that
suicide has been the effect of disappointment
springing from this terrible delay of justice ? Feel-
ing and humanity out of the question, do the Di-
rectors not know that the native army are affect-
ed with deep dissatisfaction from this very cause
And at what a period did the Sepoys declare their
anger ?—At the moment of embarkation for the
campaign against the Burmans. We would ad-
vise the Honourable Company to look—if not
with gratitude for services performed, at least
with foresight for interests to be preserved—at
this important subject, and do speedy justice to
their friends, that they may he able to exact it
from their enemies. Principal and interest on
Money so long outstanding ought to be paid at
once.

FOR THE SUN.

MR. EutTott—l have read with much satisfite•
tion, in your Paper of the 22d instant, a letter from Captain
NicuoLs, in reply to mine of the 14th, in which he states,
that in alluding to the harbours on this coast, his Report refers
only to vessels embayed between Portland and the Start, to
leeward of this port; and that in the observations which it be-
came his duty to make in the Reports referred to, he had 1119
any intention to detract from the character, or impeach the
general utility of Dartmouth Harbour. But he will, am sure,
excuse my friends for having urged me to take notice of that
Report, when I again quote the word, " Such harbour (Beer)
" is much wanted, as at present there is no place of shelter
" along the whole coast from Portland to the Start Point,,ana
" vessels embayed between these points in strong South'
" Easterly gales are exposed to hazard."
Allow me, Sir, to avail myself of this opportunity to assure
Captain NiciroLs, that my friends are quite satisfied with thq
explanation he has given, and to thank hint for the handsome
manner in which he has done it.

I am, Sir, your most obedient,
A. 11. HOLDSWORTII7

FRAcAs.--Margate is as notorious for the
squabbles which take place among its inhabitants, as it is for •
the salubrity of its air and beauty. of its situation. We regret
exceedingly to detail one which happened last week. On
Wednesday a meeting of the Commissioners of 'the pavement
took place in the Town Hall, and the Reverend Mr. Bayley-
was in the Chair. There were present besides, Messrs-
Jarvis, 'Wright, E. Taddy, NlTkite, Lansell, W. Adams, and
J..-ChatiCellor (the elders of the town). The report of the GSS
Commitee was received, and shortly after a dispute arose
between Dr. Jarvis and Mr. Taddy—the former supposed the
latter applied the epithet "liar" to him, upon which he instantly
struck Mr. Taddy a blow in the face with his cane. Much con-
fusion followed, as may be naturally supposed, and Mr. Taddy
(who is upwards of 70 years of age) retired, after the indignity
he received, and declared he neither did, nor intended to applY
the offensive epithet to Dr. Jarvis. The Rev. Chairman attempt-
ed to makepeace, but without effect; and subsequently a meeting
of several respectable inhabitants took place to endeavour to re,
concile the parties, but which, we regret to hear, likewise ter-
minated unfortunately. We shall abstain from comment, con'
tenting ourselves with stating the affair as it occurred ; nor
should we have done. even this, had we not found that it will
afford matter for the gentlemen of the long robe. Age, at
Margate, does not seem either to ool.the head, or unnerve the,
anti; hut there it is, we suppose, all owing to the salubrity al
the air !—(KeQI Herald.)

PLOT.

" Georgette Clarivelle (Madame VEST n rs), the heroine, is
acknowledged by the voice of the village as the maiden best en-
titled to the bounty of.the Marchioness their patroness., and- is
about to be crowned with white roses, aid still farther reward-
ed with a marriage portion according to the usage of the place.
But envy begins to work in the persOn of Madame Maggs (Mrs.
DAVENPORT), whose niece had vainly aspired to the reward.
conferred upon Georgette. That goodly dame having espied
from a convenient window, Delorme (Mr. I)u nusro, a mar-
ried man, snatching a kiss from the. trembling Georgette,
hastens with the intelligence to the Marchioness. The married
man, however, aware of her intention,- performs the same cere-
mony in the same place with his wife ; and when the case comes
to be investigoted, satisfies the Marchioness and the assembly,
that he was only indulging a little domestic gallantry, when
Madame Maggs supposed him engaged in an illicit amour.
Whatever humour the piece can boast anises principally from
an undertaking on the part of Georgette's lover Marcel (Mr.
(Mr. KEELEY), to say " Twas I, in answer to any question
that might be put to him relative to the aforesaid kiss. The
struggle between his veracity and his_ jetlausy, produced a
Laughable contrast. In the end, the fair Georgette is crowned,
portioned off, and married ; and Madame Maggs is drummed.
out of the village."
The piece is evidently derlye.4l from a French
Farce of one. act. It. possesses no solid or strik-
ing merit, but it is diverting in itself, and it roi-
-1 tiered much more so by the skill of the per-
formers, and particularly by Madame VESTRIS,
Miss JONES, Mrs. DA V ENPORT, K EELT, and
DURCSET. It was well received; and had but
two or three dissentients when announced for
repetition. This Farce was followed by that of
The Scapegoat, which is so well supported by all
the performers that it has become very attrac-
tive. The last piece was Aladdin, which, as we
have: before stated, has been revived with great
.splendour at this Theatre.—M. MAzontEn gra-
tified the. audience so much by the Chinese
• Dance, which lot has introduced in this piece,
that lie was loudly encored. The exertion, how-
ever, was so much that he did not obey the Call.
The clamour continued, and was so violent, that
rxy was obliged to come forward and state,
that- from ill health; as well as exhaustion, M.
MAzu RI CR was unable to repeat the dance imme.
diateiy, but would perform it again in the Ban-
quet scene. This apolOgy satisfied the Boxes,
but the Galleries, with a shameful ,want of feel-
ing, persevered In the demand, and when it was
repeated, as promised, did not receive it with
the applause which,
.humanity as well as justice
required,.

value, other kinds are excessively dull and rather cheaper.
Beans fully maintain last quotations. Boiling Pease are scarce
and dearer. Grey Pease are also rather higher. Oats meet a

On the APPEARANCE of Miss KELLY in LADY
TEAZLE. •
BY, JOHN TAYLOR, 184.

Most Lady Teazle: of the stage
Have miseonceiv'd the comic page,
And made her too refin'd ;
KELLY, with arch and native grace,
The genuine character can trace,
Just as the Bard design'd.
Enough of fashion shonld appear
To sliew, though in a higher sphere,
Yet that her former state
• Breaks through the veil of polish'd life,
:In hoyden airs of rustic strife, •
To teaze her-peevish mate.
KELLY this point exactly hits,
And, mingling with the sneering Wits,
Sharpens the circling jest,
Her part with easy humour bears,
In all their mirth and scandal shares,
More pleasant than the rest.
But when we see the prostrate skreen
Expose her shame.dejected mien,
And penitential woe,
There she exerts her-plaintive art,
To sympathy subdues the heart,
And Pity's tributes flow.
.0.11; KELLY born with equal pow'r,
With mirth to charm the passing hour
Or pathoS to display,
Long, long, may'st thou adorn the stage,
• 'With well-known private worth engage,
And WEALTU due homage pay.

A NECDOTES, Esc.

REINA R LA BLS 'DA-Y.—Yesterday was the anni-
versary of the death of OAr the Poet, in 17351, and of the cele-
brated Lord Viscount BARnixoToN, in 17;4. This day is
the anniversary of 13albee being entirely destroyed by an. earth-
quake, 1759 ; and of a subscription loan to Government for 18
millions, to carry on the war, being filled in fifteen hours and
twenty minutes, in 1796.
A. FRENCH M A izQuis, who had undertaken to
accompany some ladies to see an eclipse of the sun, at the Ob-
servatory at Paris, heard, on his arrival, that the phenomenon
was all over. The ladies looked disappointed ; hut the Gallant
Marquis, attempting to console them, said, " Never. mind,
Ladies, go in ; Mr. Cassini (the Astronomer) is a ).articular
friend of mine, and a very polite man, I am certain he will
have the goodness to begin again."
A FRENCH GRENADIER, convicted of having
purloined something of no great value, was condemned to
death. As they were leading him to execution, Marshal Saxe
said to him, " What a wretch of a man you must be, to risk
your life for the value of six francs."—" Why, General," re-
plied the soldier, " please to recollect that I risk it every day
for only five sous." This repartee saved his life.
MICHAEL KELLY records the following pun of
Mr. O'Keilly,:—" One day, as lie was in the streets of Clon-
mel, when the Tipperary Militia were marching out of that
town ; their Colonel's father had formerly been a miller, and
amassed a large fortune, which he had bequeathed to the Co-
lonel himself. O'Keilly seeing the gallant pfficer at the head
of the corps, exclaimed, " By the God of War, here comes
Marshal Sack: with theflour of Tipperary at his I?ack."

POOR OF IRELAND.

Mr. GRATTAN, pursuant to notice. demanded the atten-
tion of the House to the subject of a Still which he proposed to
bring in for the consideration of the House, relative to some
relief.for the poor of Ireland. The plan of this Bill, in a few
words, was to establish, within each parish, a vestry, to invea-
tigate and enrol the number of proper subjects for parochial
relief; and in case other provision should not, or could not, be
inade.for them, that such vestry should be at liberty to assess
the firbli towards' their relief and maintenance. In fact, it
would be found that some such practice had already an, exist.
ence in Ireland, and that this was only. the extension of it ; in
this respect, resembling the custom now in full and beneticill
operation in Scotland. In many parts. of Ireland the poor were
.thus roappprted by voluntary contribution : but, from .its lonk
continuance in. these districts, it had now, hi might say, bd_
come cOniplsory upon those who. at first had volunteered'
that subscription.. This, be felt, was a pm, now become
absu.

HOUSE AND 'WINDOW TAXES.

Mr. HUME, in the absence of Alderman Wood, presented
a petition from the Ward of Aldersg,ate, praying a repeal of
the House and Window Taxes.—Laid on the table. ..
The same Hon. Member presented another petition from the
Merchants and others of Manchester, in favour of the Small
Debts Bill.—Laid on the table.

. . . .
Sir R. WILSON said, he rose for the purpose of platting a
questiori to the Hon. Secretary for the Colonies, upon informa-
tion which he had received, in hopes of either reversing a sen-
tence relative to an unfortunate.person, if it were correct; or if
incorrect, of rescuing the Authorities at Jamaica from possibly
unmerited censure and calumny. . The representation heel been
made in print by a Mr. Mickell, relative to an alleged irregu-
larity in the mode of passing sentence upon certain slaves, for a
revolt in that Island ; although the sentence of the law had not
been passed on the first day, .and the Jury had not beers regu-
larly convened, yet on the nest day a more than ordinarily
severe sentence had been passed on these poor people.
Mr. W. HORTON said, that as there was now on the table
of •the house the
.fullest infoiniation upon this subject, he
should not enter further into the explanation soughtthan to say,
that so far from any very severe sentence having been passed
on the individuals alluded to, a mitigated sentence had been
passed upon all. Upon the slave (Trelawney ), who mighi'have
been sentenced to transportation, no greater severity was in-
flicted than three months' imprisonment, whilst other indivi-
duals were altogether excused, The Jury having once brought
'in these persons guilty, it only remained for the Court to' dis-
charge its duty, and pronounce the judgment fixed by law, on
the occasion of such an offence.... By a reference to these papers
the Hon. Member would find the complainant had only exposed
his own ignorance of facts, and the improper inferences he had
drawn. • • . • •

ture from Liverpool in the ship Martha, yesterday se'nnight
They quitted the harbour with a fair wind, which, as it has con-
tinued ever since, has by this time, most likely, conducted them
into a warm climate. This party is composed of the same de-
scription of men and their families, as that whi;.'.h sailed from
Greenock in the Norval, a few weeks before, namely, farming
men and artificers, and like their Scotch friends, they are well
supplied with implements for their use. • Mr. BARBER. BEA. U-
MONT has a third party, which will proceed from the river
Thames this week. This vessel is now clearing out from the
London Doe,:s, and besides passengers, is well freighted with
flour-mills and other machinery.for the use of the settlers.—
This is a spirited beginning to a grand undertaking.

PAnLIAMENT,

HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, MARCH 22.

Prayers were read this morning by the Bishop of DowN and
CONNOR, after which the Lord DEPUTY SPEAKER sat for
furtherance of appeals, there being present the Marquis of
Camden, the Earl of Essex, and the Lord Bishop of Down
and Connor.

Lord GIFFORD rose exactly at four o'clock, and at half an
hour after, the Lord CHANCELLOR entered the House.
Mr. IRVINE, from the Custom House. presented at the Bar
the Annual Account • of the Trade and Navigation of the
United Kingdom, to the year ending the sth January 1825;
and also an Account of Imports and Exports, pursuant to an
Act of the 42d Geo. 111.

MESSAGES FROM THE COMMONS.
Mr. JOSEPH PITT, the Hon. Mr. FOLEY, and others,
brought up the New aidstone Road Bill and the Shipton-on.
Stour Improvement Bill, which were afterwards read a first
time.

.TREATY OF. GHENT.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL'Iaid 'upon the table, by com-
mand of his Majesty, Copies of certain Articles made under
the Treaty of Ghent.
ATTORNIES AND SOLICITORS.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, that before their Lord-
ships proceeded to the Order of the Day, he had a petition to
present from several Members (Attornies and Solicitors) of the
Law Society, who prayed their Lordships not hastily to pass
the article of Clerkships Enrollment Bill. The petitioners now
opposed the Bill on some grounds both public and private. It
appeared that the number of persons at present admitted was
not less than six hundred a year ' • it was desirable that not
above five hundred. and sixty should be admitted; but if the
present Bill passed the number would be much increased. The
greater part of the petitioners, now Attornies in the superior
Courts at Westminster Hall, had been articled for five years,
paid a premium to the profession. and been obliged to take a
Degree in either of the two Universities in pursuance of the
Act ; with all these conditions, not less than six hundred a year
had been admitted at practitioners, while the decrease per an-
num did not exceed the average of forty. The petitioners were
surprised that a Bill of such importance was in progress through
the House without being printed : and he begged to call the
attention of the Noble and Learned Lord upon the Woolsack
to it.

The petition was then read, received, and ordered to be laid
upon the table.
The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE presented a petition, which
he observed was most respectably signed, from the Protestant
Inhabitants of the town of Newry, in Ireland, in favour of the
Roman Catholics.

Upon the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, the
Army Mutiny Bill and the Marine Forces Regulation Bill were
respectively read a third time, passed, and messaged to the
Commons.

mention oflamentable fate, he missed his aim, and mortally
pierced the beloved object of his zeal ! Shortly after this dread-
ful accident, a second bush-ranger was secured, after being
twice knocked down with a musket ; a third had an eye shot
out, but escaped with four of his companions—leaving behind
them all their ammunition, stores, &c. and, though last not
least, the murdered body of Mr. Taylor's carpenter, whom one
of them had run through with a boyonet, which instantly
caused death.!

When our informant, who was an eye-witness of these horri-
ble transactions, left the Macquarie, Mr. Taylor's son was not
dead, but we regret with exceeding sorrow that not evek the
faintest hope was entertained of his recovery.
We now hope to be soon enabled to announce the sileedrip-
prehension of she other four murderers, who are without arms
or ammunition, and who, we trust, will remain so until they are
taken.

ened upon the subject of their " grievance," in
the manner .of the Dublin Association. What
this may lead to in the end it is impossible to
say, but if such a system be permitted, much
inconvenience will undoubtedly result. May it
Hot enter into the heads of the Leaders of
these Catholic bands to marshal their misguided
multitudes around the Houses of Parliament
when the Catholic Question is debated ? And
may not a thousand other schemes equally futile,
but equally fraught with the elements of confu-
sion and mischief, be invented for the purpose of
" displaying their strength ?" In the brief dis-
cussion which took place on the present occasion,
the men of St. Giles's were told that the Catho-
lics had hitherto had Leaders, but no 'Army' to
lead, and the Chairman concluded by expressing
a hope that he should " live and die in their ser-
vice." This and such like allusions, which form
the material of most of thes&Meetings, are very
open to misapplication by an ignorant and fanatic
and ience.

[MORNING CHILONICLE-1
It is not the business of a Journalist to attempt
to guide individuals in their private speculations,
and, therefore, we do not feel ourselves called
on to offer any opinion with respect to the late
extraordinary rise in the shares of the American
Mining concerns. We presume the parties who
are interested take the precaution of examining
for themselves the foundation on which they build
their expectations of profit. In all these matters
there are two classes of buyers—the one consist-
ing of those who purchase with the view to
gain by the success of the concern; the other con-
sisting of jobbers and gamblers, who do not
look beyond the period during which they mean
to hold shares, and provided opinion is so long
favourable, are indifferent to what takes place
the moment they get rid of them. Sometimes
extraordinary efforts are made by this last class
to influence the former. It is for the other class
to examine, as well as they are able, into the
grounds on which any speculation rests, that
they may determine for themselves whether the
price in the market is such as they are war-
ranted in offering. Prudent men are, no doubt,
often deceived, in spite of all the caution
they can employ ; but it is obvious, that
he who merely follows the crowd, is much
more likely, in all cases, to be duped. These
observations are thrown out without reference
to any particular speculation. As we have
already observed, it is not for us to relieve indi-
viduals from the duty which they owe to them-
selves. Wherever there is loss there is also gain;
and wherever there is cunning, folly is not far
off. In due time it will be seen who are the
losers and who are the winners—who are the
fools and who are the wise men. Things cannot,
we presume, go on long at their present rapid
rate.
