ENGLISH CATHOLICS.

The Marquis of .LANSDOWN presented a Bill for ren-
dering the Catholic subjects of ASreat; Britain eligible to cer-
tain offices. This measure, with the other .Bill he had laid on
the Table before the holidays, .would together hive for their
object•to place the Catholics of England precisely in the same
situation as those of Ireland. The Noble Marquis, after mov-
ing that the Bill be now read a first time, moved that it and
the other Bill he had presented before the holidays, should be
read a second time on Monday se'nnight.—Adjourned.

BRAZILIAN LOAN.

To-morrow evening the Brazilian Loan will he
tendered for, and the following has been circu-
lated as the basis for a Contract of a Loan to
be (raised for the Service of the Emperor of
Braa i I :
'‘Carrrar..—Three millions of pounds sterliug: to be raised
on Imperial Bonds of the different classes and sums specified :
said capital to be paid in ten equal monthly instalments of ten
per cent. each, the first instalment to be paid three days after
signing of the contract, with or without discount of three per
cent. to be allowed upon all immediate payments in full or in
proportion for such sums as may be subsequently advanced.
bersnEsT.l--Five or six Ter cent. per annum, payable in
London regularly every half year, say Ist Nov. 1824, the first
half year; Ist May, 1825, the second halt year; and so to con-
tinue in succeeding years, free of any charge whatever to the
holders of the bonds.

6, SINKING Fultp.—One per .cent. on the total amount of
bonds issued annually. Its operation to begin at or after the
Ist January, 1825, by purchases and investments of said Im-
perial bonds, so long as they may not exceed par, say one hun-
dred, if loan be contracted at five per cent., or one hundred and
twenty, if at six- per cent. interest. Whenever the market
price shall be and continue for three months above par, pay.
merit by terages (as practised in the Prussian Loan for 1822),
to take place'a month after the payment of the half yearly divi-
dend, to extinguish at par to the extent of half per cent. of said '
capital of Bonds, and so alternatively to continue (according
to the state of prices for said Bonds in the market) until the
complete extinction of the Bonds.
" RESERVE.—Out of capital raised by the Loan, the amount
of the tint year's interest, as well as the amount of the Sink-
ing Fund, shall be deposited in the Bank of England, in the
name of the Plenipotentiaries, and with regard to the dividends
and Sinking Fund of the succeeding year, the Brazilian Go-
vernnient will provide so as to have deposited in the said Bank
of England a surplus of six months.
" SECURIT Y.—The Revenue of the Customs of all the ports
of the Brazilian Empire generally, and especially that of Rio
de Janeiro."

This plan appears to be unexceptionable, and
should tl►e plig he moderate at which the con-
tract is entered into, this Loan will probably
prove beneficial both to the subscribers stud to
the Brazilian Empire.

LITERARY NOTICE.

THE OLD ENGLISH DRAMA.
The first number of a new collection of those
noble specimens of English genius, the Earl*:
Drama, has just made its appearance. - The
Work, it seem's, is intended to be general acid
extensive, and to supersede the collections of
Poosr.cy, ,R.c. The present Nutnher contains
THE SECOND MAI OE-N's TRAcr.DY,-the prOduc-
tion of an unknown Author, which is now printed,
for the first time, from a MS. of WA anua-roN's
(the Somerset Herald), which had time good
luck to escape a -too intimate acquaintance
with his • pie and pudding dishes, a calamity
which happened
_to many . valuable relics
of the English Stage, and which has been
a standing subject of regret with all -the.
tribe of commentators for many years. The
Second Maiden's Tragedy is unquestionably well
deserving of its escape from the clutches of the
anti-dramtic Gook, Who seasoned Mr. IVA It MI It-
ToN's dinners with such etherial viands; and its
PtlblicatiOn will, we are sure, afford • much gra-
tification to the lovers of- our sterling plays ; it
is evidently the production of a man of genius-1
is superior to the general run of plays of the time
when it was writ ter. (about 1611), and what is
commendable as well as extraordinary, is entirely
flee from the extravagance; which frequently
marks the productions of'that age of our dramatic
literature. It consists of two distinct plots, one
of which is founded upon the story .of the
Curious Impertinent, in Don Quixotic, which
the author has closely followed : -the other
plot is so independent'of it, that they might
well, btit for the deficiency in the requisite
number of acts, form two separate Plays. The
Dramatic excellence of this Tragedy is perhaps
,not very great, but there are scenes of tender-
ness, and occasional touches of pathos,
_which go
to the heart ; the great defect is the want of in-
tensity in the more passionate scenes ; but to
compensate for this deficiency, there are dignity,
nobleness, and•pnritY of feeling, and some deli-
cious instances of poetic beauty. In short, we have
read the firSt number of the Old English Drama
with great pleasure, and if the proposed collec-
tion often presents a treat equally novel and
agreeable, we shall hail the appearance of the
suceeding•numbers with unfeigned pleasure.

STEEPLE CHACE.

DUNDEE, OCT. novel tWeCtacle was yesterday
exhibited in this neighbourhood; one of those sights termed
" a steeple chase" among sportsmen, or a horse race front the
top of Dundee Law to the top of Kilpurnie-hill, one of the
Sidlaws. Kilpurnie is distinguished by a tower, once used as
an observatory, which crowns its summit. The distance is a
straight line, between the Starting Point and the gaol, is about
seven miles and a half ; but the shortest practicable route nine
or ten miles. Notwithstanding the day was exceedingly cold
and very windy, a great concourse of spectators on horseback
and a foot were attracted to the spot. The race commenced at
half-past twelve o'clock. Three horses started. They be-
longed to the lion. W. Mettle, 111. P.; Colonel Fotherinham,
of Powrie ; and R. Douglas, of Wigton. Mr. Douglas rode
his own horse. A mingled sensation of admiration, astonish-
ment, and tenor, was instantaneously felt, when, at the given
signal, the horsemen dashed off down the Law, speed of the
wind. The summit of the Law is upwards of 500 feet above
the level of the Tay, from which it is distant about a mile, and
its brow is rather steep and precipitous. Two of the horses
took nearly a bird's flight course; Mr. Douglas a more cir-
cuitous one, availing himself of the turnpike road for some
miles. He was first in, having rode the distance in 36 minutes,
and distanced the others by a mile.

We understand that the colossal statue of Lord
MELVILLE has arrived iu town, and that it will
soon be placed on the top of the column in St.
Andrew's square ; it is in pieces, and as we ane
informed, about fourteen feet high.--(Edinburgh
Paper.)

justice and 'honesty ; but if to this the English
Government add an avowed protection for Eng-
lish vessels loaded on account of the Turks, then
Europe will he forced to believe that this Go-
verument has put itself out of the pale of civi-
lised nations to ally itself with those same Alge-
rine pirates on whom it formerly inflicted an ex-
emplary punishment.

THE THENTRE.

ITAYMARKET.—The Comedy of The Rivas
was repeated last night, but with some variations
in the performance since our last report. Instead
of FAR REN, the part of Sir Anthony Absolute was
assigned to DOWTON, whose excellence in general
though he is at times somewhat too luxuriant,
requires no eulogium. Miss KELLY was all that
could be desired in Lydia Languish. Mrs. W.
WEsT, who performed that part before, last night
was the Julia, which is more suited to her talents,
and in which she was interesting and pathetic.
A Mr. RAYMOND, from Birmingham, was intro-
duced, in the character of Faulkland. His per-
formce was by no means acceptable to the
audience, but as he will probably not repeat it,
we shall forbear all comment on the occasion.—
Mr. Dm., from Edinburgh, appeared in David.
He was favourably received, and deserves a sta-
tion on the London boards.—A very good house.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS.

This day the General Quarter Sessions com-
menced at the Guildhall, 'Westminster, before
nut Nos CONST, Esq. Chairman, and a Bench of
Magistrates, for the purpose of swearing in the
Grand Jury for the County, and also receiving
the half-yearly Report of the Headboroughs,
constables, and other petty officers employed in
Middlesex. The names of the respective per-
sons were called over by Mr. Stirling, the Clerk
of the Peace, when a number not answering,
they were ordered to be fined, without a
sufficient reason was assigned to the Court for

their being absent. The Grand Jury having been
duly sworn, tfley were discharged, and ordered
to give their attendance on Monday next at
Hicks's Hall, Clerkenwell. The trials of the
traverse cases, and others out on bail, will com-
mence to-morrow at Westminster.

•
BOW-STREET..(This DAY.)
Maria Myers, an elderly woman, was brought before T.
HALLS, Esq., charged with stealing a box great coat, value 41.
It appeared that the prisoner was employed by a Mrs. Norman,
as a laundress. In August last the property in question was
missed from the house, and the prisoner absconding, created
strong suspicion against her, she, however, was never heard of un-
til yesterday evening, when she was met in the Strand, and
apprehended.—Mrs. Norman requested her to produce the du-
plicate of the coat, and from her pocket book she pulled out
several tickets, but one in particular, which witness wanted to
see, the prisoner put into her mouth and swallowed, saying,
there, you shall not see it. The prisoner, on being called on
for her defence, declined saying any thing ; she was commitud.

THE ARMY,.

A detachment, consisting of 1 officer, 3 scrjeahts, and 28 priu.
Yates, belonging to the Royal African Colonial Corps, receaved.
orders to match yesterday from Chelsea to Chatham, where it

A detachment, consisting of 5 officers and. 120 priyatcs, be-
longing to the Royal African Colonial Corps, sailed on the
15th-inst. from Portsmouth; on board the Marquis of Huntley
transport,
,for Cope Comt elastic.
Six hundred fine recruits, belonging to the said corps will
embark in a fortnight at Chatham and the Isle of Wight,' on'
board two.transportii, which are now fitting in. the River. fur
the purpose of conveying them to Cape Coast Castle;.
1 esterday morning the td Regiment of Lie Guards had a
field day upon Englefield Green.

NEW LITERARY INSTITUTION.

Yesterday a Public Meeting of the Proprietors of the
Auction Mart was held in the great room of their establish-
ment, for the purpose of confirming the resolution passed at
a former Meeting respecting certain alterations therein pro-
posed to be made, in order to establish a New Literary Insti-
tution, and the furaration of a Library, Reading, and Lecture
Rooms.

Mr. SIIUTTLItWORTH was called to the Chair; and the
'Secretary, Mr. FRANCIS, having read the minutes of the last
Meeting, a desultory conversation ensued, in *Kph Messrs..E.
Driver,-Thompson, Bayley, Hoggart, and others, took part.
An amendment moved by Mr. PIIICKETT, for the suspen-
sion of any proceedings for three months, was negatived, and
the original motion in favour of the new InstitutiAn being put,
there appeared an equal number for and against it. Mr. Shia-
tlewortb, the Chairman, declined giving a casting-vote, observ-
ing, that without tit:annuity the measure would prove ineffec-
tual. The projected Institution was consequently abandoned ;
and thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the Meeting
separated,

CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES.

Mr. Trench gave a charming divertitsement to a juvenile
party, mustering about fifty, on New Year's Night, at his
residence in Montagu-square. It commenced with a quadrille
bull ; waltzes and Spanish dances followed. An elegant supper
concluded this elegant fete.
Mr. Greenwood gave a grand dinner, in Audley-square, on
New lear's Day.

Mr. Forrester gave a children's ball, in Gloucester-place, on
New Year's Night.
Mr. Thornhill, gave a grand dinner, called a house-warm-
ing, on Saturday. In the evening Mrs. Thornhill had a party
of fashionables.

Preparations are making at Lord Sydney's seat, by the Hon.
misses Townshend, for the express purpose of entertaining a
large circle of juvenile friends.

..
Dlrs• Howard gave a ball last night in Park-street.
Mr- John Drummond gave a grand dinner on Saturday last.

Althorpe, the seat of Earl Spencer, is a scene of great festi-
vity and entertainment; it abounds with distinguished visitors.

THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE.

After giving a series of magnificent entertainments at Ronae
and Naples, his Grace has embarked on board the Euryiitus
frigate, for the Islands of the Archipelago. This step has been
taken by medical advice, for the Duke's health, we are sorry to
hear, is not so good as his friends could have wished. Con-
traryto
expectation, and greatly to the mortification of the
Y sli residents in Italy, his Graceproceeds home after his
'gli
present
voyage. In fact, the town mansion is to be prepared
for the reception of its noble owner about the middle of next
month ; and if so, his Grace will again, no doubt, take the
lead, by opening the fashionable campaign.

Hall. gave the order the very same evening, and the orris,

opportunity of stating, that I did all in my power to promote

Committee, if it had not been thought prudent befoehand to
confine their number to the highest rank of professional gen-

TIDE KING, &c.

BRIGIiTON, JAN. 4.-11 i% MAJESTY, as usual, attended
Divine Service today in the Palace chapel. A very impressive
discourse was delivered by the Dean of Sarum, from the 16th
verse of the sth chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians,
—" Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." The
Anthem was from the 2d Psalm,—" Why do the heathen
rage, and the people imagine a vain thing." Sir George and
Lady ShifFner, the Reverend G. and Mrs. Shiner, from
Combe-place; the Reverend Roger Frankland, the Honour-
able Mrs. and Miss .Franitland, and Miss Octavia Frank-
land, from Murtem ; Mr., Mrs., and Miss Law, from Hor-
stead Place; were here yesterday, and severally left their names
at the Palace. Tickets of invitation will be issued to-morrow,
for a second entertainment at the Palace, at which the junior
branches of Nobility will constitute a leading feature on Tues-
day, or Twelfth Night, involving the disportiwe recreation with
the young folk, which the distribution of the seasonable plum-
cake seldom. fails to give rise to.

DEMEANOR OF THE PRISONERS.

During yesterday Thurtell was busily occu-
pied arranging his papers ; he was assisted by
Mr. Fenton and Mr. Jay, his solicitors, to whom
he gave instructions on various points of evi-
dence. He spoke confidently as to the result of
the trial, and seemed to regard with pleasure
the effect which, he said, his defence would
have, and the amazement it would excite.

THE THEATRES.

KING'S THEATR E.—The above establishment
(as our 'leaders will perceive by the advertise-
ment) will open this season under peculiarly fa-
vourable circumstances. The list. of Performers
bears the name of several persons highly distill-
, guished for their professional talents. We. un-
derstand that it is yet undecided with what
Opera the Theatre will open. Surely an oppor-
tunity is offered of complimenting ourvisitor
ltossim 1)7 producing one of his best, and de-
cidedly his most successful composition.' W
allude to " Il Barbiere di S'iviglia;" the recent
success of which at Bath, as supported by Signor
and Madame de Bawls, was complete. FrOna
their first appearance in this country we always
indulged a hope of seeing them in that Opera,
for which they are in every respect fully qnali-
fied, but theatrical intrigues have hitherto kept
it from them. We repeat our hope that-so good
au opportunity as now occurs will not be lost of
paying a handsome compliment to Rossrsit,itini
of gratifying the frequenters of the- King's
Theatre by•a performance of so much merit as
that which we witnessed in the representaliian of
"11 Barbiere de Siriglia" at the Bath Th-eatre.
DIIURY-LA N E.—The subject of the Tragedy
introduced at this Theatre last night, .under the
title of Kenilworth, or The Da.ys of Good (been.
Bess, has been so often before the public at other
places that no detail of - 016 story is. necessary.--
It was brought forward with greatsplendonr of
costume and scenery, and so well supported by
the Performers in general, • that it is well cared-
lmed to excite wonder and delight at this holy-
day period.. Mrs. BUNN gave impressive dignity
to Elizabeth, Mrs. W. ‘Vigsz. was sufficiently pro-
minent in Atiqj Robson, and Miss -S. flown( for-
cible and natural in Janet Foster. The hose
was crowded, and the piece very well received.
CovesT-G A 11 DEN.—Often as Pizarro has. been
represented, it abounds with so much variety in
scenery, music, and characters, that it is-still at-
tractive. YOUNG is the best Rolla since the
day of the late Mr. K EN! ELF.. Thp isame
may he said of Mrs. OGlr.vm. in Elvira, since
the admirable performance of, Mrs. SIUDONS.
Miss LACY'S COM was altogether the. best that
we have seen. She obviously acts at all times
with peculiar judgment and feeling. Mr. 'BEN-
N PrT was very respectable in Pizarro. The
whole was less interrupted by the gallery folks
than could be expected, and was much applauded.
by a numerous audience.

LONDON,
TUESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1824.

In spite of the effect produced upon the pub-
lic mind, with respect to the debts of the Spanish
Cortes, by the publication of the letter addressed
to Mr. G ZJEBIIARD by the Spanish Treasurer-
General, and by the otherwise apparently des-
perate situation of the holders of Spanish Bonds,
we have reason to believe that FURDINAND
will still be compelled by his own necessities
to acknowledge the whole of the revolutionary
debt. Intelligence has been received in a poli-
tical quarter from Madrid, of the date of the 27th
ult., from which we learn that FERDINAND had
actually dismissed his present Ministers, (as was
previously reported) and that their reinstate-
ment so shortly after their dismissal, was owing
to the KING having found it impossible to pro-
cure a new Ministry. The persons upon whon:
he wished to confer that mark of his favour,
frankly told him that they were convinced
that it was only by pursuing the course that
leuao and his colleagues wished .him to adopt,
that they could have any hope of the kingdom
being extricated from its difficulties and troubles,
and that if they were to accept the posts offered
to them, it could only be on the understanding
that they should prosecute the same views.
The same parties, on being asked by the KINC
to give their opinion as to the means by which
he could obtain a supply of money, further
represented to him their belief, that however
desirable it might be that the decrees of Port St.
Mary, &c. should be rigorously adhered to, yet,
that as every proposition for a new loan had
been rejected on all the Exchanges of Europe,
and as the persons representing the monied
interests continued obstinately to insist on
the recognition of the old Bonds as au
indispenahle preliminary to a new contract,

ra•■•

they (the parties whom his MAJESTY was
pleased to consult), were of opinion that it was
necessary •to yield this point, and therefore
recommended the adoption of some arrange-
ments for taking the Bonds of the Cortes at
a specified value as part of a new Loan to the
Royal Government. His Catholic MAJxsTy, after
this conference, immediately reinstated all the
Ministers in their posts ; and it was confidently
expected that a proposition for acknowledging
the Spanish Bonds would he acceded to.

CITY; Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this
morning at 877%-, at which price they have kept
steady up to this hour, with little fluctuation.
Owing to its being a Holiday, and the Bank being
closed, there has been nothing doing i❑ Money

[THE TIMES.]
. __

We have received Havannah Papers to the
24th of November. The unfortunate result of
the war in Spain was then known ; and Ferdi-
nand's Proclamation, dated Cadiz, Sept. 30, was
published in a supplement to the Government
Journal of the 19th of November. A copy of
that record of Royal . promise-breaking was
brought to the Havannah by Colonel Don Jose
de Ovando, who sailed from Gibraltar on the
34 of October. Except a Proclamation by the
Governor Vives, announcing the arrival of
Ovando from Spain, no step appears to have
been publicly taken •in consequence of the
intelligence from Spain. The Government
Journal of the 23d of November still retained
the Constitutional title. From an account of the
proceedings of the Provincial Deputation, dated
140.•4, it appears that the Commander of Puerto
Cabello had written to the Political Chief of the
Havannah, explaining the distressed state of that
tortresn, and earnestly soliciting assistance. The
Provincial Deputation seems to have been in no
haste to answer this call. The documents were
ordered tr. be,referh.d.to the Commission of Fi-
nance, with a recommendation to consult with
two
,ollicers sent by the Commandant of Puerto
Cabello on what might be dune. The subject
was afterwards, on the 12th, brought under the
notic.o of another body—a kind of Chamber of
Commerce, called the Coniulado Nacional—
which approved a Report made by the Syndic
oil a plan for the relief of the Colombian Gib-
ratter, proposed by the second in command of
the naval force at the Havannah. A certified
copy of this Report was ordered to be trans-
mitted to the Siperintendant-General of Finance.
if isliingular enough, that while the authorities
of tire: Havannah were thus proceeding with all
the characteristic deliberation of Spaniards,
poeflo Cabello was taken by assault on the Bth
of November.

Recent commercial letters from St. Peters-
burgh speak in high terms of the great fair at
Nischay Novogorod, which terminated on the
3d September. The aggregate value of the
merchandize exposed for sale is estimated at be-
tween 94 and 95 tnillions of. roubles, a sum
little short of four millions sterling. The teas
alone from China were supposed to amount to
12 millions, the pottery from Siberia at five mil-
lions ; and the products in copper, iron, and
other metals, between 10 and 11 millions. The
net profit which this great fair has produced to
the different mercantile classes is reckoned aL
full three million of roubles, or 1,200,000/.
sterling.

SPANISII BONDS.

Translation of a Letter written by the Trea.
surer-General of Spain to M. Louis G UEBIIAND,
Banker, at Paris :
MADRID, DEC. 22, 1823.—The Commissioner sent by his
Majesty to your Capital to make arrangements with you rela-
tively to the Royal Loan with which you are charged, has in
formed me of the manoeuvres by means of which, on the
announcement of the change of our Ministry, the Bonds of
the Revolutionary Government obtained fresh credit. This
operation, adroitly directed by a neighbouring Government,
and prepared beforehand by means of couriers, deceived those
imprudent persons who purchased a quantity of that paper,
because they did not understand the firmness of the Spanish
character or that of our august Monarch.

his Majesty, who exists only for his people, has by his Decree
of the let of October fixed the lot of the Loans of the Rebellion.
The King was convinced that to recognize them would expose
the nation to the most lamentable consequences, and that it
would be buying his dishonour and his ruin, by the violation of
a principle conservative of all Thrones, to recognise the political
and administrative acts of the Revolutionists. This principle
is consecrated, and all the Sovereigns of Europe have happily
adopted it ; since the contrary principle would have for its
result the authorisation of revolt.

The principles recognised by the Monarchs are the basis of
their instructions in the Missions which they give to their ser-
vants ; but the latter, sometimes yielding to calculations of in-
terest, abuse the confidence reposed in them by their masters.
Hence came the terrible attacks which the Ministry just re-;
moved from office had to undergo ; for even those who. ought
to have maintained the conservative principles sheaved, that,
though they could not directly attack those principles without
renou 4 ag the most salutary maxims of the general Restora-
tion, they nevertheless attempted in every possible manner to
carry them by surprise.

In fine, my friend, the change of Ministry cannot in the
least degree alter the conservative principle which the wisdom
of his Majesty has adopted. The unfortunate persons, there.
fore, who have been seduced by certain individuals that for se-
veral years past has been playing with the public interest, will
find their disappointment in the measures which the Govern.
ment is about to take for the consolidation of its credit ; for the
present lllinisters also are true Spaniards, incapable of giving
his Majesty any counsel inconsistent with the good of his
people : and the people have at length opened their eyes, and
know that all the evils they have auffered for the last three
years have arisen from the Revolutionary Loans. Hence, my
friend, you may be assured, that before another fortnight has
elapsed the veil which has hitherto covered this mysterious
affair will be completely tome away. I am, &c.
