BRIGHTON., FEB. 20.—Mr. HAY NE arrived here on Thurs-
day, and was present at the performance of Miss FOOT): at the
Theatre, on that evening, and • on Friday ; the latter occasion
was, announced ax for the benefit of Miss Foote, and Mr. H.
became a generous purchaser of tickets. The house, as in the
two preceding instances, was brilliantly crowded ; and Mr.
Hayne readily and cheerfully joined in the unqualified ap-
probation bestowed on her. In the course of Friday, Mr.
Hayne had an interview with the mother of the Lady; and,
we have every reason to believe, with the young Lady her-
self: Indeed, the best understanding appears to exist between
them. Miss Foote appeared as Oriana, in" The Inconstant,"
and Clara in " Matrimony," on Friday. Mrs. and Miss
Foote left the Old Ship, to return to town, yesterday morning.
Mr. Hayne, from the York Hotel, followed for the same desti-
.
nitton, very soon afterwards.

The Tragedy forthcoming at Covent-Garden
Theatre,
,under the title of ORESTES, was written
by the late PEER. BAILEY, Esq„ who, as the
Public must recollect, was suddenly struck dead,

in a coach, while accompanying his wife t• the
King's Theatre. The play is founded upon the
model of the Old Greek Dratna, with Furies,
Chorusses, &c. tgc„ but with an adaptation to
the taste of the times, as far as is consistent with
such a model.

Ilaumoxic TifEATRE.—The regular Season Qf
this little Subscription Theatre commenced last night with
Love in a Village, a Ballet and Blue Devils.• It has been
made under Mr. NATHAN'S auspices a most elegant place of
amusement, and the resort of the most select and fashionable
company. The performances of last night gave great satisfac-
tion. Miss LEO, in Rosetta, sang and played with very con_
siderable excellence, and the other female parts were ably filled
by Miss DAVIS and Miss PHILLIPS. Mr. JONES, formerly
of the Lyceum; represented Young Meadows, and was justly
encored in some of the songs his acting was also uncommonly
good. The Ballet was tasteful, and the dancing elegant, and
the whole was far above what one would have thought could
be achieved within so limited a space. _ _

Another Love match is said to he in progress
at one of our 11.1etropnlitn Theatres, between a fair Syren and
a Noble Lord of acknowledged gallantry. This event, how-
ever, is not to be consummated until the close of the season.

The Dowager Duchess of lllcumoNo was last
night in the roof over .the House of Commons, which is the
only accommodation for ladies, to hear the debate on the Ca-
tholic Assodiation Suppression

A letter from Captain .DAvinson of the ship
Northumberland, of North Shields, to his owner,-states the fol.
lowiug 'fact, .1. he ship was lying at Sierra Leone. "On the
Ilth of November, 18.24, one of our crew, being on the bowsprit
fishing, dropped his knife overboard. He made a great deal of
work about it ; but judge his surprise, wilco, on the same after-
noon, he caught a dolphin, with the identical knife in its belly !
The fish was cut up in my preSence, and I saw the !knife taken
out."

B OTTE RELIES were yesterday seen flying about a garden
four miles west of the metropolis. And in the same garden the
lilac trees and honey-suckles are beginning to bud', and beneath
them crocuses, snow-drops, &C. are in flower.
HAwiricu.—We have to record a most ME-
LANCHOLY OCCURRENCE which happened in the Swin, ,on
the sth inst., and as justice will doubtless call for an investiga-
tion of the affair, we give the account without comment, as re-
ceived fr Eromdwthaerd Lewis,
lips of
the
injured party, "On the said day,"
says master of the Aurora salvage vessel
of this port, " at 20 minutes before nine, A. 51, we brought up
alongside the buoy -of an anchor in the Swin, and ran a rope
to it. intending as soon as it was sufficiently moderate
,to
weigh the anchor and take it to the Vice-Admiralty warehouse
for the good of the owner, having the gear already arranged for
the purpose ; about a quarter past nine, the Hope, of Colches-
ter, John Allen master, ranged up alongside, who hailed
Lewis, saying (holding up a piece of paper at the same
time), " You shall not have that anchor, I have the
Captain's order to take it up." Lewis answered, "As
I have my rope fast, I shall certainly weigh it ;"
and immediately James Tranham and Thomas Coppin, two
of the Aurora's crew, got into their skiff, and ran another rope
to the buoy, when Allen instantly let go the Hope's anchor
across the buoy rope, which he hooked and barbarously held
on; and in a moment, before the two poor men in the skiffcould
cut the rope, they were plunged down, head first, into a watery
grave--the former leaving a wife and one child, and the latter
who is brother-in-law to Lewis) a wife and three children, to
mourn their lamentable bereavement. The Hope," says Lewis,
" then hove her anchor to her bows again, tearing the -Aurora's
skiff to pieces, and stood off. The Providence, of Ipswich,.
which was near, pushed off her boat to save the men, but it
was too late—they were sunk from human aid.Etrix Mer-

A DEFENCE of the PROTESTANT CHURCH from
the ATTACK of the MODERN HISTORIAN of the
REFORMATION, W. CORBETT.
(No. V.)

Most of the earlier Fathers agree in con-
struing this promise as made to PETE rt not in any
exclusive sense, bat to the rest of the Apostles,
and to the Disciples of every age, in his person,
that make the same strong confession of the faith
which he had just delivered in answer to his
Lord. Even Augustin so interprets the passage ;
but there are two of the earlier Fathers
more explicit. Origen declares, " lie is the
rock, whosoever is the disciple of Jesus; upon
such a rock all ecclesiastical learning is built.
If you think the whole Church is built solely on
St. Peter, what then will you say of John Boa-
nerges and of every one 'of the Apostles ? Shalt
we dare to say that the gates of Hell shall not
prevail against Saint Peter only ? Or are the
keys of the kingdom of Heaven given only unto.
him ?" Saint Jerome also says, " Bishops and
priests, not understanding this text take upon,
them some part of the proud look of the Phari-
sees." Again.--" You will say the Church is;
founded upon St. Peter, though the same thing,
in another text, is affirmed of all the Apostles,
and that the strength of the Church is equally
settled upon them ;" and again, " Wherever a
Bishop is whether at Rome or Constantinople,&c,
he is of the same,worth and priesthood ; the force
of wealth and lowness of poverty makes not a
Bishop higher or lower, for all of them are suc-
cessors of the Apostles."
After all the pre-eminence which the Ro
manists can trace in the word, it is
.only in the
favour of Peter in his own person, and tint its
any of these his successors, as they represent
themselves ; and which even if they are, they
are no more entitled to this pre-eminence than '
any of the Bishops who presided in the other
Churches.

Even the great Cardinal, who has taken so
• much pains to exalt the Pope of Rome as
high as he can, is obliged to confess, that though
some distinction is'bestawed on Peter by that
word, yet there is not a syllable in it to esta-
' blish the title of the Pope as his successor, and
sends us for authority to his favourite traditions.
This is the same Bellarmine, who yet exalts the
Pope above the Divinity, and proclaims him to
have more than the power of Omnipotence to
" make virtue vice, and vice virtue."
I am glad to see the account here given of the
Church so entirely agree with the sentiments of
a Prelate now living, whom I am always proud
to have on my side, and who has ever fought the
Philistine with success, in whatever shape or
period of his life he arises—whether in the form
of a Romanist or a Methodist, the latter of
whom pretends to hold the former in the greatest
abomination, and yet often is found—as extremes
will meet—in nearly the same errors.
On this occasion I am happy to confirm the
opinion formed from looking into the ancient
authorities, by an authority so highly esteemed
by all who have the real interest of the realls-
Catholic Church at heart, and desire to see it de-
fended, not only from the broad and open attacks
of the enemy without, but from those subtler and
more undermining enemies, which are at work
against it in its own bosom. To this particular
point of the Pope's supremacy, how strong and
plain is his language :—" Though the Church at
large," says he, " was built upon the foundation
of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ him.
self being the chief corner stone ; and though St.
Peter in particular may be regarded as a Rock, .
and the primitive church, as formed at Jerusalem,
was originally founded, yet between these pre-
mises and the inference that die Church of Rome
is the supreme church, some intermediate posi-
tions are required which are either frivolous or
false., As the primitive church at Jerusalem was.
the mother of all churches, so, all particular
churches, or the universal church, may be justly
said to be included in our Saviour's prophecy.
But then the Church of Rome will be included
only in cwilmon with other churches, and cat}
have no claim to be considered as meant'
especially by our Saviour. And, with re-'
spec to the position, that the Church of
Ro-me itself was founded by Saint Peter,'it
is wholly destitute of truth. If Saint Peter
was ever at Rome, it is manifest both front
the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistles of
Paul, that Saint Paul must have arrived the.re*
before him ; and the Epistle to the Romans proves
incontestably that the Church of Rome was not'
founded by St. Peter ; but, even if it was, the:
Church of Rome was no more entitled to supre-'
macy oa that account than the Church of Jerir:;
salem. Nor was it more entitled than than
Churches of Ephesus, Thessalonica, and other
Churches founded by St. Paul, whose authority
was not inferior to that of St. Peter. Still less
was it entitled to that supremacy from the mete
circumstance that Saint Peter presided over the
Church of Rame, for the same argument would
give supremacy to every other Church over
which either St. Peter or St. Paul presided."

TIIE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY
Extracts from the Mornin4 Papers, Feb. 22,1825.

• [TH E TIM ES.]
SPANISH Por.ic Y.-By the letters.received yes-
terday from Madrid, which are dated the Bth
instant, we learn that some ludicrously impotent
measures are contemplated by way of retaliation
for the injurious and insulting conduct of Eng-
land. in the recognition of the new American
States. The total prohibition of cotton goods
(which it bad determined to admit at an ad
alorem duty) is now to he continued, and
the duty on fish, which there had been some
.th,oughts of reducing, is now to remain at
its full rate ; and, indeed, all thoughts of con-
ciliating so ungrateful a country as England
is for ever laid aside. These letters also contain
some particulars respecting the nature of the at-
tempt now making under the name of a loan, to
rob the English of a few millions more. The prin-
cipal agent in the affair is a M. Gorbea, a banker
of Madrid, who comes invested with very full
powers on the subject. Provided the money can
only be raised, no particular nicety will be put
in practice with regard to the terms. The sum
wanted is only 2,000,000,000 of reals (about
20,000,000/. sterling), for which the Spanish
Government is willing to issue a stock bearing 5
per cent. at 40, on condition that the contractors
will take out of the market quietly and unosten-
tatiously the odious Bonds issued under the
Cortes, so that the Royal ear of Ferdinand may
never again be insulted by the mention of them.
It is calculated that this arrangement will give a
value to these bonds of from 25 to 30 per cent.,
thus making the new stock cost the con-
tractors from 65 to 70 per cent. On the
nature of the security for paying the in-
terest of the large debt proposed thus to
be created, the letters are little explicit, the only
one mentioned being that of the caisse d'amortis-
sement, or Sinking Fund, in which we believe, by
the way, that there is not at this moment a single
maravedi. There is something irresistibly amus-
ing in the situation under which this transaction
presents Spain. Enraged to the highest degree,
against England, and wanting nothing but power
to do any act which might deeply injure us, she
yet appears as a suppliant on the Royal Ex-
change of London, and that chiefly for a purpose
which, if successful, would do us a much greater
wrong than the loss of the money ; for it is not
at all attempted to be concealed, that when ob-
tained, it is to be employed in raising troops to
conquer the South American States. There is
every appearance at present, however, that M.
Gorbea will lose his labour ; and we believe that
rot one capitalist of high character and respecta-
bility has yet lent a favourable ear to his propo-
sitions.
