S".II:YaNA, .JAN. 9.—The Christmas Holidays
have passed aver in the most peaceable manner ; and the rood
order which the police has maintained for this year past gives
as the hope that it will notiie again disturbed either here or in
the villages and towns in the interior.

Letters from Aletaridria of the 3d December say, that a new
expedition against Crete was -preparing.; it was to consist of
S;TRO men, with 10 ships of war and four transports laden with
provisions. The arrival of such a force in the island must
greatly increase the distress -of the Greeks.
Perfect tranquillity prevails at Chesme, where the Greeks and
the :VI assulmans continue to live on good terms. Every measure
is sidapted to prevent a sttrprise. Sentinels are stationed night •
and day on the eminences, and . a new battery is erecting to
cover the town. The accounts from Hydra state the people to
he discontented, and say that most of the vessels are laid up
for want of men to equip them. From Ipsarz the accounts are
of a very diff,:rent. character. .The people are in the highest
spirits ; all their vessels. wore.gone to Patras, the reduction of

we think his mind has suffered a fatal bias on
the subject, a subject of the deepest interest
to the community at large. We refer to
the article in the Morning Post of this day.
among our Daily Extracts from the Morning
Journals, (a settled feature in our Paper, which
we find to be generally interesting and satisfac-
tory) for a brief but emphatic exposition of the
vital perils likely to attend this Measure if car-
ried into effect. It is followed by an extract
frOm the Morning Herald of, this day,l which,
by its juxta-position, will enable our Readers
to form a. just 'conception, of the question.--
Perhaps we may properly quote the follow-
in passage from The School for Scandal, on
the occasion, in favour of the USURY LAWS in
general, as it was written by an Author whose
enlightened mind as a Statesman, as well as his
genius as a dramatist, may well entitle him to
the attention or the public on this momentous
topic :--,-

" Sir Peter.—But, Mores, would you not have him run out
A little against the .rbtrw;ts/ Billy That would be in character,
I should think.

" Sir Peter. And abuse the public for allowing merit to an
Act, whose only object is to snatch misfortune and:imprudence
from the rapacious gripe of Usual', and gire the 7112 .or a
chance of iniariting his estate without being undone by coming
into possession."

We received last night Bayonne'Papers to the
22d ult. They' confirm the report that the French
Ambassador at Madrid had possessed sufficient in-
fluence to cause the decree of amnesty to be recal-
led, as likely " to lead to prosecution* rather than
to establish union and concord in the nation."—
These Papers also bring a report that Oviedo
was in the hands of the Constitutionalists, and
that the insurrection in Gallicia was becoming
general.

WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL.

OBSERVATIONS and CORRESPONDENCE occasioned
by the FAILURE and RENOVATION of a PRINCI-
PAL PIER in WINCHESTER CATHEDRAL.

The Author of the following.pages conceiving
it necessary to offer an apoloky for thus intruding upon the no-
tice of his friends, anti thoSe who may please to honour him by
the perusal of this appeal, begs leave to state his humble opi-
nion, that the subject, connected as it is with the preservation
of one of the most venerable and extensive ecclesiastical edifices
in this kingdom, cannot be entirely devoid of interest to any of
the distinguished and intelligent individuals to whom it is in-
tended to be addressed.-Ik, however, feels - that he should be
wanting in candour if he did not acknowledge that a regard for
his professional reputation has been a principal stimulus to his
present pursuit ; and he trusts, with some degree of confidence/
that his solicitude upon this point will not be disapproved,when
he states the circatmstanco of his having been officially (and he
hopes it will be found successfully) engaged in an arduous un-
dertaking, the 'result of. which has 'been misrepresented, much
to his disadvantage; since the formal Report of a Gentleman
enjoying very high estimation in the architectural profession,
has fixed upon him the imputation of having incurred a consi-
derable and unnecessary expence .to his employers, through an
erroneous opinion upon a case committed to his manage-

The Champion thus briefly replies to Langan's last letter :
" I can bear the bullying of this Langan no longer, but will,
by the consent of my friends, meet him upon the terms de-
manded in his last. I will be at Cribb's on Tuesday evening
next, at eight o'clock, to stake 1001. and settle the business at
once. " T. W. SPRING."

THE KING, &c.

WlNinon, FEE. MAJESTY had a select party
to dinner yesterday evening. This day (Sunday) the King at-
tended Divine Service at his private Chapel in the Castle. On
account of the badness of the weather, there has been no Band
on the Terrace this day. The Band of the 75th 'Regiment,
after relieving guard, played several select pieces in the Lower
Ward. On. Friday the Officers of the Royal Horse Guards
gave a grand .dinner party to the Officers of the 75th Regiment,
at the Barracks. The Band attended and played until a late
hour: •
CENOTAPH TO THE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE.—It iS fOW
finally determined to erect the Public Monument to the Me-
mory of ' the late Princess Charlotte of Wales in St. George's
Chapel, Windsor. The spot chosen for the Cenotaph is Urs-
wick's, or, the Bread Chapel, at the North-west corner of the
church, so called from Dr. Christopher Urswick, Dean of
Windsor, and joint proMoter with Sir Reginald Bray in finish-
ing the fabric. There are at present only two tablets in this
Chapel, one to the memory of Christopher Urswick, the other
to Colonel`Robert Brudeneil, son of the Earl of Cardigan.—A
drawing was on Saturday made under the direction of Mr.
Matthew Wyatt, Architect, of the intended situation of the 310-
nitmentin the'Clipel, which will be immediately submitted for
his Majesty's Approval, and there is little doubt but this me-
morable Monument will be speedily completed.

(Conc.)
Winchester, Oct. 26, 1821.
Stu,—l hasten to acknowledge the favour of your letter, and
inclose herewith the plans you deSire. In addition to my ob-
servations of tke 23d, permit me to state, that my intention was,
first to place one large stone upon the Foundation of the base
on each side, either upon or below the level of the pavement, as
may appear most eligible when the state of the parts can be
more plainlyseen ; each of which stones will form abase for
a pair of iron columns which I should prefer to placing the
fulcrum nearer to the edge of the original foundation ; and as the
stones nearer the springing of the arches are expected (and, in-
deed, as far as can'at present be ascertained, appear) to be of
larger dimensions than those composing the other parts of the
casing—the proposed columns would catch the tails of them,
and thereby equalize the support to be derived from them to
the massive pier above. I should place a plate of lead between
each joint of the iron columns, which would be compressed so
ai to accommodate any little inaccuracy of bearing, and I
should provide a screw collar at one joint of each iron column,
which must be screwed up in the first instance, and relieved
afterwards, by means of a strong punch, to be driven against
a saw-toothed edge of the collar, for the admission of which
punch, one stone must be left out opposite to each place re-
quired.

I should also brace the iron columns together horizontally at
each joint, and securely cramp together every fourth or fifth
course of the new casing. In the hope of seeing you when you
pass through Winchester,
1 remain, Sir, your most obedient Servant,
To John Nash, Esq. ` WM. GARBETT.
Here the Correspondence ceased till the 24th November,
when the Chapter Surveyor was favoured with the following
communication :

• (CORY.)
Sin,—By this night's past I send to the Chapter Clerk my
Report. I have considered both your letters, and should have
called on you'had r time. I see you have adopted the inser-
tion of iron columns, but you have placed them so much in-
wards, that the masonry of the pier must be very much cut
away to get them in, and as the sound part of the stones are
stationary, and nothing has given way above the springing, nor
the foundation moved, rthink it will not be advisable to dis-
turb any part of the piers that are not fractured—the strength
of the piers should beincreased, and the foundations made se-
cure against the possibility of future danger : but nothing that
has not moved should be disturbed.
I -m, Sir, very sincerely your's,

NEGRO SLAVERY.

Petitions against Negro Slavery were presented from Hud-
dersfield, by Sir J. Rams') ; from Billericay, by Mr. WEE-
Trux - anti from Warminster, by Mr. 13ExETT of Wiltshire;
and ordered to lie on the table.

SMALL DEBTS.
A petition in favour of the Small Debts Bill was pre-
sented from Bolton by Lord STA:a.m.-, and ordered to
on the table.

EXCISE LICENSES.
Mr. l'ayss Pzx t. presented a petition from Tamworth
against the Duty of Excise Licenses. Similar petitions were
presented from Maidstone by .51r. ItomartTs • from .Gloucester
by Mr. \V EBB ; from Tewkesbury by Sir J. its uslixti ;from
Broad-street by Mr. Alderman Woon, and ordered to be laid
on the table.
Mr. DAWSON presented a petition from a place in Ire-
land, praying far a Parliamentary Grant, to establish an Agri-
cultural Seminary in that country; It could not however, be
received without the content of the Crown, and was therefore
withdrawn.

Mr. CURTEIS moved for several Returns relative to tly!
Duty on Holm—Ordered.
RECIPROCITY OF TONNAGE DUTIES.
Mr. CURTEIS also moved, that it be referred to die Com-
mittee on Foreign Trade, to ascertain and report the compa-
rative Tonnage Duties on the entry of British and French Ves-
sels into the ports of these nations.
Sir GEORGE CLERK objected to the motion being made
in the absence of the President of the Board of Trade.
Mr. BARING also objected to the motion as an injunction
to the Foreign Trade Committee, without some communication
having been previously made to the Board of Traih
Sir,il. W. RIDLEY said, there bad been such a communi-
cation on the subject of the Tonnage Duties.
Mr. ROBERTSON supported the motion. It was most
desirable to ascertain the conduct of Foreign Nations towards
us with regard to Tonnage Duties. Ile thought notch incon-
venience in this respect had arisen from the reciprocity of Du-
ties BM.

Mr. CURTEIS then withdrew his motion, in consequence of
the absence of the President of the Board of Trade.
Mr. Alderman THOMPSON moved for a number of Re-
turns respecting the Importation and Exportation of Silk, and
the Duties and Drawbacks thereon.—Ordered.
Mr. T. WILSON presented a Petition from Farrington
Without, against the duty on Excise Licences. The present-
ing of this Petition called for a remark from Mr. Baring on
the absence of Ministers when the petitions of the people are
presented. Ile thought they should have been earlier in the
House.

CITY BUSINESS.

•
A Common Council was lipid yestertl:ir, iu
consequence of a Requisition to con.ider of petitiorivg the
House of Commons for a repeal of the flou,:e and Window Tax.
Mr. FAVE r. r. shortly addressed the Court, and concluded by
moving a Resolution for the Court to adopt a Petition
,to the
House of Commons accordingly.
The Committee appointed to carry into execution the Act of
Parliament for rebuilding London Bridge, presented a re-
port of their proceedings towards carrying the same into exe-
cution, and of their having, with the approbation of the Trea-
sury, contracted with Messrs. Jolliff and Favell, to build the
new bridge, and to complete the approaches thereto, for 426,0001-
—the new bridge to be built to the westward of the present
bridge, so as to allow the same to remain for the accommodation
of the Public, until the new one is finished, which is undertock
to be completed within six years, and in the event of its being
found necessary, in the progress of the works, to enlarge the
waterway under the present bridge, due provision has been
made for the same.

The Report was read, and after some observations from Mr.
TAYLOR, Mr. SMITH, Mr. JAMES, Mr. Alderman Wool),
Mr. Deputy OLDHAM, and others, was ordered to be entered.

Mr. Artorri.-it is with regret that we an-
nounce the death Of Mr. Viotti, the celebrated performer on
the violin. He died in London, on the 3d instant, after a short
illness, in the 69th year of his age. The name of Viotti, as
connected with the musical annals of the age, will occupy a
proud and prominent place, both as a composer end as a per-
former; and his memory will be long endeared to and cherished
by those friends who had the happiness of knowing .and ap-
preciating his many admirable qualities in private life. He was
a native of Piedcnont.

praying for, the Repeal pf all the Assessed Taxes.
.111 r. 1-lU3lk; spoke in favour •of the petition which was or-
dered to lie on the table.

Lord STANLEY presented a petition from Lancaster, re-
specting the repeal of the Silk Duty. He approved Of the re-
duction, though he thought some consideration should be
shown towards the stocks in hand.
IRISH CHURCHES.

Sir JOHN NEWPORT presented a Petition from certain
Protestant inhabitants of a Parish in the County of Fermanagh,
complaining That they were withoht any place of *oral).—
They prayed that a portion of the (.;;rant for nese Chili:dies

Ckrgymen alluded to in a particular parish trx Woodward),
he could say, with the most perfect confidence, that a more
respectable Clergyman did not belong to the Established
Church ; and that he constantly resided n70:1 his living. lie
should make inquiry into the subject alluded to by the peti-
tion; but he thought it right to say thus much, lest any
one Member of the House should receive an impression unfa-
vourable to Dr. Woodward, upon the ex parts statement of
the petition.
?,Ir. DAWSON spoke also to the .tmemplary character of
Pr. Woodward, to his residing upon l living and expending

parishioners.
Sir...lollN NEWPORT said, that, of course, no Al; -ober

ment in every petition he presented. had received the
petition-in question from a Nobleman, a Lord of Parliament,
who had pledged himself to the truth of its conterra,; and he
‘Sir John) thought therefore it would not become 'niin to say,
he did not believe his lordship,.and. therefore to decline pre-
senting the petition.—(Hear, hear.?)
The petitions were ordered to lie rot:_ the table, and be
printed.

EAST INDIA 110USE.—(FtunAir.)

Adjourned Debate on the Motion for applying to Parliament
for the Repeal of the 46th Clause of the Act 53d George 111.
cap. 155, with a view to alter the discipline and powers of
Professors in Hayleybury College.
The debate upon this subject was resumed, when several more
Gentlemen delivered their sentiments ; but nothing new was
advanced.
Sir G. ROBINSON was persuaded that the Company re-
ceived great benefits from the system pursued in the College ;
but he was satisfied that it required much improvement. He
objected principally to the statute of selection, and thought that
so odious a power as it gave ought to be abrogated. He thought
the evil would be obviated by giving to the Professors an in-
crease of power; but at all events he would leave the duty of
amending the evils to the Court of Directors.
Mr. K INNAIIID replied.
On the question being called for, a ballot was
which was fixed for Wednesday the 31st instant.

FOR THE SUN.

ARDROSSAN HARBOUR.
LONDON, MARCH STH, 1824.
Mn. EDITOR--I have just seen your valuable
Paper of this evening, in which I perceive, under
the head of " Ardrossan Harbour," the declara-
tion of some Masters belonging " to Irvine and
Saltcoats, and recollecting that each of these
towns belong to ONE person, and that that person
is also owner of Ardrossan, I can easily account
for the machinery by which the declaration was
manufactured, particularly when I recollect the
jealousy with which the Duke of PORTLAND is
viewed in that part of Scotland, where he ranks
amongst the foremost of the best and greatest
landlords! Having sent a Letter to the Editor
of the " Ayrshire Courier, Sze." under frank, I
will not farther trouble you than by stating, that
your Printer has erroneously printed from the
MS. " Official," whereas, on refering to that do-
cument, you will see that I stated not an Official
Survey, and that it was correctedin the following
day's Sun, under the head of Errata !
I could also wish you to believe me, that I am
incapable of leading you or any Editor astray in-

tentionally, and you will perceive that the De-
claration of the Masters alluded to, of the 17th
ult., not only contradicts Mr. AuLn's assertions

in the 4yr Paper of the 24th ult., respecting the
depth of water at Ardrossan Pier, but it also
bears me out in my original Statement, which will
be more fully elucidated by the arrival of the
next Tuesday's "Ayrshire Courier, &c."
You will oblige me by giving a place to this
note, with your promised insertion of the article
under this head to-morrow. I remain, Sir,
Your obedient humble servant,
11. CAMPBELL.

P. S.—There is not a ship belonging to either
Irvine or Saltcoals—‘‘ hence, then, the title "Ship-
masters?" I have never said that there was a
good Harbour on the coast of Ayrshire !

MRS. COUTTS.

This Lady has expressed the sense entertained by her of the
attention she has experienced at the hands of the Lord Provost
of Edinburgh, by presenting his Lordship with a handsome
silver vase, bearing the following inscription :

" 30th Auinst, 182.1.
" To the Right lion. Alexander Henderson, Lord Provos
of Edinburgh, from his friend Harriet Coutts, in kind remem-
brance of her first visit to Edinburgh, the birth-place of Mr.
Comm, son of John Coutts, Esq., Lord Provost of Edinburgh,
from October, 1742, to October, 1744."
Mrs. Coutts, with that liberality which so eminently distin-
guishes her, has made the following donations to the charities
of Edinburgh :
Royal Infirmary . £2O Royal Dispensary • .£lO
Asylum for the Blind 20 Senior Female Society 10
Deaf & Dumb Institution 20 Ladies' Clothing Society 10
Destitute Sick - • 20 Gaelic Schools - 10
House of Industry . 10 Debtors in the Jail - 10
Edinb. Lying-in Hospital 10

On Saturday Mrs. Coutts and suite left town on a visit to
Mr. Trotter at Dreghorn, and returned to the British lintel
yesterday to breakfast, after which we understand she visited
some of the public institutions, and in the afternoon returned
to Dreghorn to dinner, from whence she returned to-day. To-
morrow Mrs. Coutts leaves town on a visit to the Earl of Lau-
derdale at Dunbar-house, where she will be met by a distin-
guished party, and in a few days proceeds to Abbotsford, on a
visit to Sir Walter Scott, from whence she returns to the Bri-
tish Ifotel--(Edinburgh Star.)

The newest On dit in the fashionable circles is
the approaching nuptials of an Irish Earl of large fortune (who
has lately attained his majority) and the lovely daughter of a
celebrated Senator and Statesman. The young Nobleman in
question is the representative of one of the most ancient and
illustrious families of the Sister Kingdom ; the young lady is,
we believe, in her Itith year, and, independent of personal at-
traction, is reported to possess a refined and highly cultivated
understanding.—( Morning Paper.)
The metropolis was, between one and two
o'clock this morning, visited by one of the most
violent storms of lightning and rain that we re-
member to have witnessed. The flashes were pe-
culiarly vivid, and the claps of thunder the
loudest we ever heard. The fall of rain was im-
mense, and in a short time the streets, in several
places, Were completely impassable.

meat of their own precious 'lntellect. The
question is not whether the opinion entertained by
these people is or is not well founded ; but whe-
ther an opinion, which has such iv deep root in
the general mind, can be shaken without impair-
ing that respect for,received opinions, destroying
that'deference to authority, which is so essential
to the well-being of society. Supposing that a
man who has been bitten will not be disposed to
bite again, one of the lower orders must either
take this on your authority, which would merely
be substituting one authority for another, or you
must reason him out of his opinion, by a tedious
argumentative process. But the mode of reason-
ing employed to overturn one opinion may be
employed to shake other opinions, and thus for
what would at most save perhaps a dozen of
people in a year, a habit of doubt may be en-
gendered in a people, from which innumerable
calamities may spring. The danger to which a
spirit of cavilling and doubt may give rise has
been ndmirably developed by the Abb6 de la
Mennais, tie late Editor of the Drapeau Blanc,
in his ingenious Essay on Indifference.
" We have only to look around us (he says) to perceive that
the moral world subsists only by authority, the universal
means of knowledge, society, and life. As God spoke to the
first father, the father speaks to the child, and the child believes
the father, as the father originally believed the Deity; and here
still there is union and society, because there is knowledge, love
of the same truths, and submission to the order derived from
them. Bence, and always according to the same law, is formed
the reason of families, the reason of nations, the reason of the
human race, of which the testimony becomes the infallible gua-
r ran tee of. the purity of the primitive traditions which it pre-
serves, and which it could not lose without losing, at the same
time, language, thought, and life. Authority is then, both the
only foundation of truth, and the only means of order and
happiness." •

The Holy Alliance, fully persuaded of the sound.
ness of these views, deeply lament the disposition
to question opinions that have received the sanc-
tion of ages, which prevails at present in so many
foreign Universities. The President of the Diet's
Speech, which we gave at full length a few days
ago, demonstrated, in the most satisfactory man-
ner, that the habit of examining opinions is the
most dangerous that can be communicated to a
people, that error is prvferble to inquiry, and that
we ought scrupulously to abstain from shaking
the general confidence in traditional notions.—
There is no doubt much truth in all this : but our
fear is, that in reasoning in favour of blind defer-
ence to authority, the very habit may be created
which it is wished to discourage. It has been
observed, that whenever a Judge otTers reasons in
support of his judgments, he invites examination
of them. It would, perhaps, be better to proceed
quietly against the Press and the Universities,
and to trust to the natural indolence of mankind
for the rest.

TIIE KING, &c.

IVninson, SEPT. 7.—Daring the forenoon of yesterday the
weather was so unfavourable as to prevent the KING from en-
joying his favourite excursion to Virginia Water; the fineness
of the afternoon, however, enabled his MAJESTY, with his cus-
tomary attendants, to take a short drive in the Great Park.—
The beautiful sunset of last evening was not, for once, a har-
binger of a fine morning. At nine o'clock, it commenced rain-
ing heavily, and the showers continued, with brief intervals of
sunshine, during the whole of the day. His MAJESTY was
consequently confined to the Royal Lodge, and the grounds
immediately attached to it. •

Tux FOREST.--The western-side of Windsor Forest, has,
for some time past, furnished employment to a considerable
number of woodmen and labourers; in felling timber, and mak-
ing rides through the most sequestered spots, by direction of
his Majesty. On the verge of this part of the Forest, stands a
plain, ancient building, originally erected for a Royal Hunting
Box, but for the last twenty years occupied as a farm, called
New Lodge. Rides have been made from this place to Cran.
bourn Chase, and from thence, through the Great Park, to the
Royal Lodge; and it is understood to be the intention of his
Majesty to restore, at no distant period, this little seat to its
original purposes. The road that is at present making, is one
of the most romantic that can be conceived, winding through a
succession of the most varied and picturesque scenery. Earl
Harcourt, as Deputy Ranger, has made almost daily 'visits to
the spot, and the whole course of road, which extends above
six miles, will be completed by the latter end of the present
month.
