UNION HALL.

Last night Walter Waoltenerofi was brought up by Keys,
the constable, charged with having absented himself front his
work, being the apprentice of Mr. Zachariah Hunter, chemist,
of Webber-street, Blackfriars'-road. He -acknowledged the
fact; and Mr. SNYABY told him he must send him to the
House of Correction for seven days. His master said,
if he would apologize for his misbehaviour, and return
to his work, every thing should be forgotten. This the pri-
soner, in a most impudent manner, refused to do, saying
he had not done wrong, and would not apologize to any
person. On which Mr. SwAnY told him, if he forgot his duty
to his master, -and thought his present behaviour would be
passed over with impunity, he was mistaken; that he should
this time be imprisoned for 14 days ; if any complaint of the
sane nature came before him again, he should be sent there for
three months.

Joseph Carter, aged 20, and Joseph Adams, aged 14; were
charged with having stolen 10s. from a pock-shop in Suffolk-
street, Borough. By the evidence of the porkman, who was
passing his time in a gin-shop opposite, it appeared that he
perceived the two prisoners enter the shop together, when Adams,
leaving his companion, darted into the parlour, and took 10s. in
copper from the mantle. pie ce. ,G rassm ith the officer passing at the
time, and hearing the two prisoners and the porkman wrangle,
searched them, found the money on Adams, and brought them
both handcuffed to the office. The evidence not being conclusive
against Carter, he was discharged. Adams was committed.—
They are both known as reputed thieves.

PLYMOUTH AND ASIIBURTON BANKS.

(From the Plymouth Journal, Dec. 8.)
We last week simply announced the failure of
the Plymouth Bank, reserving any comments for a future oc-
casion, when the public mind should recover from its feverish
state of agitation. We are sorry, however, to say, that the alarm
has but partially subsided, another impulse having since been
given by the stopping of the Ashburton Bank (Messrs. Browne,
Winsor, and Cumming), which took place on Thursday last.
it is, boWever, confidently asserted, that this firm is merely
involved in a temporary difficulty, and that its resources
are more than sufficiet to cover every demand. The partners,
who are large landed proprietors, have given notice that they
will pay every claim in full, and have adertised an early day for
that purpose. All appearance of a run upon the remaining
establishments has ceased.

\Vith.regard to the affairs of the late firm of Sir W. Elford
and Co., our statement last week was in substance correct.—
The amount of their debts is upwards of 250,0001., and may be
comprised as follows :
Amount of interest notes unpaid - £175,000
Notes-on -a6iiiiifidun paid 25,000
Balance due to sundry creditors 50,000

X 250,000

The debts due to the concern amount to shout 1200001., be-
ing principally advances to the public, for which security is ge-
nerally given ; the great proportion may therefore be considered
as secure. The funded property possessed by the firm at the
time of its failure was trifling. In the above outline we have
not taken the expences into calculation, nor, on the other hand,
have we mentioned the private property of the partners, both of
which depend on contingencies, which, in the absence of correct
information, it would be idle to speculate. From present ap-
pearances, therefore' the public may expect a dividend some-
what under 10s. in the pound, as mentioned by us last week.
The Commissioners are W. H. Tonkin, and C. Bird, Esqrs.
Barristers ; and W. D. Sole, Esq.. Solicitor. A meeting of
the creditors will shortly be called, when assignees will be
elected, and should the choice fall on the gentlemen whose
names have been mentioned to us, there is no doubt that the
duties of that tit/portant station will be honourably and ably
discharged.
Since writing the above, we have been informed that Sir
William Elford's and Mr. Tingcombe's lives are insured in a
considerable sum. We have also heard that. a portion of the
landed estates of the partners will certainly be at the disposal
of the creditors, though the legal and hereditary incumbrances
are not yet ascertained.
The Teignmouth, Totness, and Newton Banks, have each
experienced a severe run during the past week, but every de-
mand being met with the utmost promptitude, public confidence
in their stability is completely restored. - •

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY—(Tit►s DAY.)
PRACTICE OF THE COURT.
The LORD CHANCELLOR was ti.is day occu-
pied during the whole of the morning in hearing
a tithe cause, which has already been through
the Courts below,- the Vice-Chancellor's Court,
and now comes before- this Court on an Appeal.
—His Lordship, adverting to the practice of
directing a trial in the Court below, said he was
decidedly of opinion that in all such cases the
precise point ought to be laid down.which the
Court wished to have tried, as otherwise ex-
pences were incurred without any beneficial re-
sult whatever. In fact, his Lordship invariaLly
found that the intention of the Court completely
failed unless this was done.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S-COURT (Tars DAY.)
NONT-ITTENDA N CC OF PA ItTl ES.

The VicE-CnascELLou, hrving disposed of
three motions, directed the causes in the paper
to be called over: In four 'successive cases
the parties were .not prepared to proceed, and
his Honour observed that he now, in
pursuance of the order he had pteviously made,
order them to be struck out. of the 'paper. The
Court would not submit to:-bear the blame of
suitors who did not think fit to• appear when
called on. The causes were dismissed accord-
ingly.

ROLLS COURT—(TO PAT') "I
The MASTEtt of the ROLLS liiiiiirot—tittough,
the cause petitions, demurrers, and further ex-
ceptions, directed that Tuesday should be fixed
for the general petition day. His Honour
will preside on Monday to bear causes.—The
long litigated cause of Johnson v. Telford, which
has already undergone so much discussion, stands
first in the paper for hearing.

THE KING, &e.

WINDSOR, OCT. 21.—Tuesdav and Wednesday, the weather
being very unfavourable, his MAJESTY did not leave the Royal
Lodge. Yesterday, the weather being fine, but ♦ery cold, his
Majesty, with part of his attendants and retinue, at half-past
two o'clock in the afternoon, left the Royal Lodge in his pony
phaeton, followed by the double-bodied phaeton, and drove
through the new plantations to Bishop's Gate, and through
Chapel Wood, to Virginia Water, and Blackness, and returned
by the avenue called the pleasant Long Ride, the Royal shrub-
bery, and cow pond; in nearly the whole of which ride his
Majesty was sheltered from the wind by the slope-wooded hill,
bordering along the lake, and the shady foliage of the shrubbery
and trees of the other avenues through which he drove ; such is
the pleasure his Majesty can enjoy at the Royal Lodge, from
the multiplicity of drives in the Great Park and its vicinity. At
five o'clock his Majesty arrived at the Royal Lodge, and at seven
o'clock honoured his attendants with his company to dinner.—
This forenoon his Majesty forwarded a messenger from the
Royal Lodge, with dispatches to the Foreign Office. In the
afternoon his Majesty, with his usual attendants and retinue,
took his regular exercise in the Great Park. —To-morrow his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, and a select party of
distinguished personages, are expected to arrive at the RoyaT
Lodge, on a visit to his Majesty.

BrttanTom, OCT. 20.—The Hon. C. H. Hutchinson and
family, and Sir W. Dick and family, are arrived—the former

Hon. General Beresford and family are removed from the New
Steyne Hotel, to a private residence in Broad-street ; and Lady
Isabella Blachford and family, to a house in Cannon-place.—
Lord Petersham has left the New Steyne Hotel for town. Sir
W. and Lady Cockburn, Mr. Russell, M.P., and Col.-Wal-
pole, are also in the departure list.

'Extract from a letter dates i Bayonne, Oct.
12.—" Yesterday passed through this place M.
Tassin de Orleans, the principal agent for the
'Loan the Spanish Government is endeavouring
to obtain, under the immediate auspices of M.
de Villele. As the proipect in France for
these operations is not the most brilliant at this
moment, it is probable that he will he in London
before this reaches you. lie has had very Jong
conferences with M. Zea Bermudez, and it is con-
fidently said, that fie will endeavour to carry
his object into effect with certain houses in
the British capital, without whose co-operation the
atteMpt.to borrow money on the credit of Spain
would be useless, and hence it is believed, that
he is'instructed to acknowledge the debts of the
Cortes. The houses which have hitherto inte-
rested themselves in the projected loan for Spain,
are Messrs. Rougeinoiit and Lowenberg, and also
M. Aguatio, of Paris, as well as Bartareche, of
this place. Without the aid of British capitalists,
however, they could never succeed, as they have
been trying now for some time, and in England,
it is well known that the recognition of the
bonds of the Cortes is a sine qua non. It is there-
fore believed, that Ferdinand has relaxed on this
point. Perhaps the Consultative Junta have ad-
vised him to be a little more pliant—the Govern-
ment not having the command of a dollar,
and most of the Functionaries unpaid and cla-
morous."

Letters from Paris mention' that the noted
Cacique of Poyais has cut and run. After a series
of dexterous intrigues, his Highness the Prince,
of the Mosquito Shore has succeeded in getting a
vessel at Havre, on board of which he was very
humanely shipping a number of deluded French
families, to whom he had most bounteously dealt
out extensive tracts of rich and luxuriant lands
in Poyais, overflowing with millCand honey.—
The French Police, who are not, perhaps, so de-
licate, on these subjects, as we are in England,
finding that hiS Highne'ss was about to add to the
long list of victims he had already made, sent to
arrest him, together with his Secretaries. Two
of the latter were secured ; but his Highness, be-
ing informed, by a servant, of what was passing,
had the good luck to escape. His carriages, it
would seem, were seized and sold, a' few days
previous to this event.—(lbid.)
London, England, 1825-10-22

FINE ARTS.

PARIS, OCT. 16.—His Majesty has just made Sir Thomas
Lawrence (who was sent by the King of England to take his
portrait) a present of the most beautiful productions of the ma-
nufactory of Sevre. These articles, by the beauty of the de-
signs and the richness of the colours, are calculated to impress
foreigners with the highest ideas of this superb royal establish-
ment. His Majesty has also made a present of porcelain from
the Sevre manufactory, to the Duke of Rauzan, Ambassador
from France to the King of Portugal.

A notice has been issued at Kingston, in Ja-
maica, of which the following is a copy :
" His Majesty's Attorney-General for this island has given it
as his opinion, that neither a foreigner, nor a British subject re-
siding in a foreign country, and coining from thence to Jamaica,
can legally bring a slave to this island, even for a time, as a do-
mestic attendant on his person; which opinion has been pro-
nounced correct by the Commissioners of his Majesty's Cus-
toms, London."

WESTMINSTER SEISIONS.--Muirlaead, whose
offence is too well known through the channels
of the public prints, was yesterday found guilty
in two cases, and the united sentence for both
was fifteen months imprisonment and a penalty
of 5001.

There was a General Meeting of the Share-
holders of the British and Patent Rock Salt
Company, on Thursday, to take into considera-
tion the necessity of reducing the nominal capital
from '2,500,000/. to 500,0001. a resolution to
which effect was proposed, and unanimously
agreed to. The report of the Directors was read
to the Meeting, and was considered to be of the
most gratifying description, as to the present and
probable future profits of this national under-
taking.
During the quarter ending on the 30th of June
last, nearly 25 millions of pounds of raw cotton
were exported from New York. The total
amount of exports, during the same quarter, from
that port, amounted to nearly eight millions of
dollars.—Another sale of teas, 1,000 chests at
Quebec on the Bth of October, and 1,500 at Mon-
treal on the 15th, is advertised in the Quebec
papers. Periodical sales are to take place in
January, May, and September of each year.-

Great Protector, gave his eldest daughter to his 1
,adopted son, Eugene Beauharnais, and when the
war of 1809 broke out, assisted him with all his
military power. He also contributed his propor-
tion of troops to th• invading army which perish-
ed in the wilds and snows of RUSSIA, and yet
ultimately seceded from the cause of his liberal,
but restless ambitious Benefactor, and by his de-
fection in the campaign of 1813, was the cause of
,his flight out of Germany, and in some degree of
of his ultimate overthrow.

[NEW TimEs.]
The French Papers of Monday and Tuesday,
with the Etoile dated Wednesday, were received
yesterday. The French Funds have declined a
little. The closing prices of the Fives and
Threes, on 'Tuesday, were as fallow : Five per
Cents. 99f. 80c.; Three per Cents. 71f. 75c. It
appears from these Papers, that propositions
have been made to the King of Spain by the Am.
bassadors of England and France, for the recog-
nition of South American Independence ; but
Ferdinand was inexorable. According to, one ac-
count. a counter proposition was made by the Spa-
nish Minister. The King of Bavaria, it will be seen,
is dead. His Majesty was seized with an apoplec-
tic tit, on the 13th of this month. He was in his
70th year. He is succeeded by the Prince
Royal of Bavaria, who was born in 1786, and
married, in 1810, a Princess of the House of
Saxe-Hildburghausen. A similar cala►nity has
caused the death of the Prince de Carignan,
cousin to the heir presumptive to the Sardinian
'throne, and a General Officer in the French
service. He was found dead in his carriage, on
arriving at his house in Paris.

AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—A melancholy
instance of the uncertainty of human life occurred on Sunday.
Mr. ROWE, one of the chief constables of Liverpool, and
whose duty it was to bear part of the civic regalia before the
Mayor to St. George's Church, was standing a few minutes
before 11 o'clock; in the vestibule of the Town-hall, with his
cloak on, waiting until his Worship came out of his room.—
While conversing with one of his companions, Mr. Rowe
turned his head a little, and suddenly fell down on his face.—
He was immediately raised up •; but his eyes were fixed, and
the vital spark was fled. Mr. Rowe was upwards of seventy
years of age ; and had been one of the constables of the borough
nearly 33. He was a man universally known and respected ;
and his awfully sudden death has excited general regret.—

CHARACTER OF THE RUSSIANS.

The Russians are insinuating and cunning, de-
ceitful and perfidious, sensual and immoral, given to levity,
fond of novelty ; improvident with the command of a little
money, they are avaricious and mean—when
theyprodigal; are cheerful,
good humoured, and social ; they are luxurious, hospitable, and
charitable ; they love light occupations and amusements—as
plays. operas, masqurades, exhibitions, dancing, singing, and
instrumental music, chess and draughts, and billiards; but
above all, playing at cards, to which whole weeks. and days, and
months, and years are devoted. They have a great curiosity
to pry into the affairs of others ; they have quick apprehen-
sions ; their talent for imitation is universally allowed ; they
are fluent in languages, a few are endowed with good parts
and ingenuity, and are men of literature; the generality
are well informed anti accomplished, as to what regards the
exterior of life ; few, however, are distinguished for their
proficiency in the sciences; they are accustomed to good liv-
ing, but are gecerally moderate in their cups; they are dis-
posed to indolence, to a sedentary life, and to much sleep.
—They are generally early risers, but they take a siesta
after dinner ; some rise very late, and others pass half their
life in slumber. They are too little in the habit of taking
bodily exercise, and yet when urged by atilOrs or necessity,
they are excessively active, and withstand extraordinary
hardships and fatigues. In what country, except in Russia,
could a Prince quit his house filled with the luxuries of the
different quarters of the world, and be ao easily satisfied as a
Russia in the camp, or while travelling ? lAat noble but
a Russian could with impunity exchange his comfortable car-
riage for a Telega (a small open cart), and travel by night
and day thousands of versta in that dreadful jolting unco-
vered equipage, and with a celerity that is astonishing ?
The manners of the higher arid travelled nobility are easy,
elegent, and imposing, anti the natives of no country can
make themselves more agreeable to foreigners. The man-
ners of the lower tiobiii:y are affected, consequential, ever-
bearing, and sometimes rude, though some few of them are
endowed with amiable and generous passions.—Raasia is
the ethpire of extremes anti contrasts, whether 'au regard
the face of the country, its climate and productions, the diver-
sity of its inhabitants, or merely the national character
of the inhabitants. A Russian nobleman will sell any thing he
possesses, from his wife to his lap-dog, from the decorations of
"palace to the ornaments of his person—any thing to obtain
Us
'money—any thing to squander it away.. Their (nobility's)
plan is to order whatever they can procure for credit ; to pay
for nothing, and to sell what they have ordered as soon as they
receive it. We should call such conduct in England swindling.
In Moscow it bears another name, it is called Russian ruagniti-
cence. Charity is a prevailing virtue among all claws of the
Russians.—(Llall'r

of Jannary, 1826, no ship shall be adinitted to be a British

to vindicate with more zeal than policy. If the
instructions of the Mexican Agent correspond
with the sentiments of his employers in another
and recent instance, we do not hazard much in
predicting the unsuccessful issue of this mission.
We should risk as little in anticipating in this
case the final separation of Mexico from the Court
of Rome ; and no combination of circumstances
could have raised an event, so likely as the ele-
vation of the present Pope, to lead to this end.
He has shewn a strong disposition to revive the
arrogant claims of his predecessors—claims, as
inconsistent with the spirit now working in the
New World, as they are repulsive to common
sense, and incompatible with the interests of true
religion. The Americans, in shaking off the yoke
of the mother country, loosened all their preju-
dices, and the death of Spanish tyranny was
merely the precursor of the extinction of Papal
usurpation—a hint which certain Politicians
amongst ourselves might usefully follow, when
they undertook to provide for the civil and reli-
gious interests of the Catholic population of Ire-
. land.

STATES GENERAL.

The Committee that had waited on his Ma-
jesty with the list of three candidates for the
office of President, reported that the Committee
had been received in the usual form, and that his
Majesty had replied that he would immediately
fix upon one of the candidates.
The President then read his Majesty's resolu-
tion, nominating M. Sandberg Presideut of the
Chamber for the present Session. M. Sandberg
having taken the chair, several messages from his
Majesty were read, among which were one rela-
tive to the introduction of a new gold coin of the
value of five florins, and one with a revised pro-
ject of law for the first and second books of the
code of commerce.

MARSEILLES, OCT. 10.—A brig lately arrived
from Alexandria has brought the French General
Livron, who is still in the service of the Paclia
of Egypt. The General brings the ratification
of a contract, by which a certain house here en-
gages to build for the Paella two frigates, of 60 guns
each. The hmsse in question may dispose of the
shipwrights and magazines of the Government at
fixed prices, and make use of the talents of one
of the Naval architects of the Government who
will come from Toulon for the purpose. The
building of a third ship, a corvette of 24 guns, is
given up for want of timber. The merchants are
not without fear that this may expose the French
merchantmen to the same depredations from the
Greeks as are suffered by the Austrians.

POETRY.

STANZAS FOR Music.
Oh ! weep not Lady, eyes like thine,.
Of radiant light,
Were only meant to glow and shine,
Like stars at night.
Believ'st thou, that Venus, would ever have given,
Those Orbs the most dazzling in Beauty's bright Heaven,
Rad she known that thou half their sweet lustre would'st, abroad
By hiding their rays beneath sorrows dim cloud.

Then weep no more.

Remember in LovE's market too,
The value set
On gems that flow from eyes of blue.,
Or eyes of jet.
For though smiles may be given, for smiles again,
For the tears of dear Woman all payment is vain
Then for Charity's sake, fair Lady, I pray,
Oh 4 make not poor CE:nn a Bankrupt to day,
And weep no more.

terday afternoon, accompanied by his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cumberland, where he arrived in his pony phaeton
about four o'clock. His Majesty entered the Castle from the
Little Park through the New Gateway, and drove into the
quadrangle, where he inspected the advancements made
throughout the whole of the improvements in the north-east
and south fronts. His Majesty and the Royal Duke left the
Castle at a quarter before five o'clock, and returned to the Royal

Cumberland, the Duke of Wellington, and the Duke of Dorset,
with the Earl and Countess of Harcourt, at dinner. This

Majesty, and departed from the Royal Lodge. Their Royal
Highnesses the Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester
are expected to dine with his Majesty this evening.

IRAIIIICH I .SUFF)3IIERS,

A Meeting of the inhabitants of tht: District of St. Francis
was held at Sherbrooke on the sth inst. Mr. Justice FLET HER,
in the Chair to devise means for assisting their fellow-
subjects in distress in the Province of New ilrunswicir, .oc-
casioned by the late fires. Gentlemen were appointed
for that purpose in the several - townships of the district
Who were to keep an exact list of the' names and places of
abode of ,the Contributors, or .of such designations as they
may respectively choose to adopt for the .purpose, with
the sum subscribed by each,la eider that the same may here-
after be published in the St. Francic Gi27.Clie, or such other
newspapers as may be thought proper, and to account for and pay
over the same hereafter to the treasurer, so that tile whole of the
monies to be collected may be transmitted by him froth time
to time in one or more aggregate sums fb the principal Com-
mittee, for this purpose, in NeW Brunswick, or their agents in
this province.
We had a fall of snow last night which covered the ground,
but the weather is comparatively mild. There are still about
60 vessels in 'port, and some of them are but partially loaded.
It appears probable that all these vessels will be loaded before
the cold sets in.' We have had no arrivals for a week past, and
from the large number of vessels lately lost in
.the Gulf, we
fear that those due, if they have not put into some of the
• lower ports, will be found among them.—Montreal, Nov. 16.

The Provincial Parliament has again been prorogued until
the 3d January.—(Monircal Herald.) •

We are desired positively to state, that the
report which appeared in a Paper of this morn-
ing, of the failure of Messrs. IL, E., and R.
FOSTER, Bankers, of Cambridge, is entirely with-
out foundation.

Yesterday a•Board of the Lords of the Trea-
sury was held at the Treasury Chambers.
_ _

Ou Thursday Mr. kontscuiLD attended seve-
ral times at the Treasury. _ _

Yesterday the Marqui,, of HASTINGS transacted
business at the Secretary of State's. Office for the Colonial
Department. _

We understand that the Directors of the Bank
of England have, in addition to the very large
supply of specie sent into the country, issued
some one pound notes, to take the place of the
small provincial notes in districts where the failure
of Banks has occurred, being intended as a tem-
porary measure to relieve the distress in those
districts.

We understand that Miss ITAMMERSLEY, of
Covent,garden Theatre, .was this, morning mar-
ried at St. George's Church, Queen-square,.to.

progress of panic in a country town.

A general expectation prevailed this morning,
that the determination of the Bank to resume
their issue of small notes would lead to a more
liberal scaleof discounts, which would-be felt, by
an improvement in Consols. The market, contrary
to such expectation, opened heavily at 81+
although it had previously been ascertained, that

,he reports in country letters, were on the
whole more favourable than had been an-

ticipated. Suspensions of payment by seve-
ral Banks, chiefly in the Midland Coon.'
ties were indeed noticed, but w hit an apparent
confidence, that the suspen,ion would in most
cases be only temporary. A decisive contra-
diction of the rumoured stoppage of a West India
house, tended to confirm the tranquillity by which
the agitation of the week has been succeeded. The
Consol market has, however, been heavy up to 1
o'clock, and the quotation of ConsOls, which
have been at 81+, is only 81a 1..

Large sales have been made in the Three and
a half per Cents., which have fluctuated from
87i to 841. Reduced have been sold from 791-
to 784. Et is understood, that one of the heaviest.

accounts on the market, amounting to three

millions, has been made up.
India Bonds have been done at 'various rates
of discount, from 70 to 80. Exchequer, RlOOO,
from 40 to 50-56-68 discount. P5OO Bills,
35-55 dis. EIOO Bills, 10-20 dis.

That the condition of affairs has been mate-
rially improved, is incontrovertible. In London,
the Runs on Bankers have subsided, but the
Country Banks, Is ith the Manufacturing and
Mercantile Interests, have yet to pass the ordeal.
