His Majesty's ship Jupiter, with Lord AMHERST
and Suite, arrived at Santa Cruz (Teneriffe) on
the 7th ult. from Madeira, where she remained
14 days. Lady AMHERST, the Hon. Captain,
and Miss AMHERST, crossed the country to visit
the valley of Oratava. On their return to Santa
Cruz, Miss AMHERST was throe n from her horse,
and her forehead and nose severely cut.—
Their own Physician being fortunately near, im-
mediately dressed the wounds. They afterwards
embarked, and set sail on their voyage. His
Lordship is much improved in his general health,
and nearly recovered from the kick he received
from a horse at Madeira.

Norfolk Papers have arrived to the 17th April,
and Philadelphia to the 20th. The following

are extracts :

" FROM PARA.—A Portuguese Government
schooner, eight clays from Maranham, arrived at
Para the 10th February, bringing an account
that a force under an Independent Commander
had taken the town of Oyerios, with the coffers,
containing 600,000 milreas.-13y the arrival of
the Bella Eliza at Maranham, from Ceara, we
learn that place had declared in favour of Rio,
and forces had arrived there from the interior.
The English brig Colombian was taken up at
Para, and sailed for Maranham with 110 troops,
all Europeans.

(From the Philadelphia Gazette of the 19th April.)

" Letters from Pernambuco state, that in the
latter part of February the people of that place
refused any longer to submit to the Emperor,
and demanded a change of Government similar
to that of the United States.

" Captain ITUNTENGTON, who left Monteviedo
February 1, passed the blockading squadron
(Brazilian) off the harbour. General l'Ecut:
was still besieging with 5000 troops that city, and
all communication with the interior was cut off.
" CAPTURE OF A BRITISH GUN-BRIG BY
PIRATES.---We learn from Captain HAMILTON,
in eleven days 6om Havannah, that a fe3v days
previous to his sailing, a British brig of war fell
in with a piratical schooner, off Cape Antonio,
of six guns and one hundred and twenty men.
'rho crew of the scho'oner boarded the brig,
armed with knives, &c., and took possession
of her, after killing eleven men, and driving the
whole of the British crew below. A British
frigate soon after came up and re-captured her.
The pirates gotilear off to their own vessel, and
made their escape."

A report prevails that it is intended to pro-
rogue Parliament early in June.

Mr. BUXTON'S motion, on the subject of Colo-
nial Slavery, gave rise to a very interesting de.
bate, lit the Mouse of Commons, last night. Mr.

Secretary CANNING.

The Meeting at the Crown and Anchor yester-
day, in favour of the Greeks, was one of the most
interesting nature, not only to the people to whom
it immediately related, but to mankind in ge-
neral, and as long as human society shall be per-
mitted to exist. The cause was that of Freedom
and the Independence of Nations. Such a Meet-
ing is characteristic and worthy of Britons. It
called forth talents honourable to our Country,
and was supported by eloquence that could hardly
have been excelled in the brightest periods of ora-
torical splendour. Among the Gentlemen who
came forward on this interesting and momentous
occasion was Mr. CHARLES BRINSLEY SHERIDAN,
the only remaining offspring of the late Mr
SHERIDAN, whose literary, political, and orato-
rical powers will appear in a distinguished light
in the history of the British Empire. The speech
which the Son of that distinguished individual
delivered yesterday is the more entitled 'to atten-
tion, as he has visited the scene of Greek he-
roism, and Turkish oppression and barbarity. He
therefore speaks with a certainty which can only
be derived from the conviction arising from
experience. This Gentleman has published a
Pamphlet on the Greeks, the merit of which has
procured it a second Edition, and which by its
acumen, elegance, spirit and knowledge, forms
a striking testimony of hereditary talents.—lt
is to be regretted that a Meeting for such
noble purposes should have been interrupted
by the violence of faction and democratical tur-
bulence; but the moral effect of such an assem-
blage applied to so laudable, so illustrious a pur-
pose, must excite the sympathy of all mankind, sti-
mulate feelings of liberality, and give, if possible,
increased animation to the Greeks, in supporting
a cause of the utmost importance to mankind in
all countries, to the remotest period of human
existence.

Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, a Cabi-
net Council was held at the Foreign Office, in
Downing-street, which was attended by all the

DrATit or EARL BEAUCH ANlP.—This Noble-
man, alike eminent for his public and private qualities, died at
his seat in Worcestershire, on Tuesday last, in the 76th year of
his age. His Lordship's loss will be deeply regretted by his
numerous tenantry and all his acquaintance.
Lon n DEEitiluarr would have presented the
Worcester Petition for the abolition of Slavery, on Wednesday
last, but for the death of his respected relative, Earl Beau-
champ. The Petition was yesterday presented by Colonel

The CATHOLIC Ancuatsiroe or .Dunr.usr.—The
venerable Dr. Jouw THOMAS TROY, Roman Catholic Arch-
Hshop of Dublin, died at hia residence in Cavendish-row, on
Saturday evening, after an illness of some weeks. He was a
Bishop forty-seven years, and filled the Metropolitan See thirty-
seven. Dr. Troy was born in the city of Dublin in July, 1739
appointed Bishop in December, 1776, tamitequently the follow-
ing year, 1777, and translated to the Archdiocese of Dublin in
178 h. He was aged 83 years and 10 months.
Soxs OF THU CLERGY..—The Anniversary
Festival of this incorporated Society for clothing, maintaining,
and educating the poor orphan children of Clergymen of the
Established Church of England, until of age to be put appren-
tices, was celebrated at St. Paul's Cathedral, and scarcely ever
did we see a more numerous and highly respectable assemblage.
The day was uncomu:,mly fine, and at an early hour St. Paul's
Church-yard was filled with carriages. The choir was admirably
arranged, and the musicdelightfully executed. Prince LEO po LD
Of SAXE COlt ORO, several of the Bishopa, and other persons of
high rank, were present ; and the subscriptions were liberal.
After the performance of the day was over, the company re-
paired to 31erchan t Tailors' Hall, where a most sumptuous en.
tertainment was provided, and about 350 persons sat down, the
11:Alit lion. the Lotto Illavon in the Chair, supported on the
right by His Royal Highness Prince Leopold, and the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury on the left.

ST. PATRICK'S CHARITY SCHOOLS AND ASY-
LC 31 FL:a FEMALE ORPHANS.—The subscribers and friends of
this very laudable Institution celebrated their A niversary Festi-.
val yesterday, at the Freemason's Tavern, Great Queen-street
—At about six o'clock 3JO person sat down to dinner, his
Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX in the Chair, and sup-
ported by Lord Nugent, Sir George Jerningliam, &c. After
dinner the children who are the objects of the charity, to the
number of nearly 290 girls and 500 boys, were introduced by
the Steward, and paraded round the room. On arriving at the
table where his Royal Highness presided, a Medal was placed
round the neck of Wm. M'Cormick, the most deserving boy,
and Ann Brown, the most deserving girl, by his Royal High-
ness, accompanied with an appropriate address. A handsome
collection was made, besides several donations sent by indivi-
duals not present to promote the objects of the Charity.
The public Examination of the Children in the
Schools of the Clergy Orphan Corporation at Saint John's
Wood, Mary-le-bone, took place on 'Wednesday. His Grace
the Archbishop of CANTERnunY presided. There were pre-
sent, his Grace the Archbishop of York, the Lord Bishop of
Worcester, the Lord Bishop of Lincoln, the Lord Bishop of
Chester, the Lord Bishop of St. Asap!), the Right Hon. Lord
Kenyon, the Hon. and Rev. B. I. Tumour, the Dean of Car-
lisle, the Archdeacons of Middlesex, Durham, Northumber-
land, St. Albans, Bath, Sir James Longhorn, the lion. Misses
Kenyons, Miss Neville, Misses Waldegraves, Misses Adding
tons, Lady Alacnatightan, Lady Chambers, and a numerous as-
semblage of Ladies, Clergy, and other(' en tlemen. The education
received by the interesting children in the Schools of this Insti-
tution was shown to be, in all respects, such as their best friends
must wish it should be ; that of the younger pupils, elementary,
but not superficial ; of the elder, sound and perfect, more espe-
cially in all that relates to religious knowledge, to the princi-
ples of social duties, and a thorough understanding of the Scrip.
tures. The boys gave proof of such accurate scholarship in
their Greek and Latin exercises, as must qualify them for be-
coming, when they quit their present Asylum, usful teachers
of the classics, if such be their lot in life ; or tit them for any
creditable station. Upon the whole, but one sentiment, that of
entire satisfaction with the appearance, demeanour, and intelli-
gence of the chrldren, seemed to pervade the meeting ; and no
one present could doubt but that the high and honourable
praise bestoweti by the most Wm. Prelate who presided, was
most
,justly due to the Master and Mistress by whose care and
exertion the young people had been brought to a state of pro-
ficiency not to be excelled, in their respective classes, by any
school in the Kingdom. A more engaging, or a more gratify-
ing scene to those who can feel for the destitute Orphans of the
Clergy of the land, is hardly to be conceived.
The trade of Wilton is fast recovering its
wonted activity. In the manufacturing of car-
pets, in which this place has long stood unrivalled
as to fabric and durability of colours, more
hands are employed than there have been for
some time past.
