NEW STEAM BOAT RICIIILIEU.—This vessel which be-

of the Desallaberry destroyed by tire is 1823, arrived here on
Tae lay on her first trip. She is 132 feet in length on deck,
and 24 feet in breadth ; drawing only 3 feet. tier engine is of
45 horse power, and constructed upon the most approved plan
for safety. Iler cabins are neatly hued up, and there is a very
commodious one for ladies. It is said she sails well. The
spirit of enterprize, shewn in these undertakings is highly cre-
ditable. This is the second steam-vessel, both of large dimen-
sions, built to ply between this city and Chanibly, during this

tation, or asked so much as a single question
(and for that, as soldiers, they deserve no blame),
when, in the course of their professional lives,
they received orders to fire in earnest, and with
ball-cartridge, and thus to help as many living
creatures as they could to the honour of canoni-
zation. So much for misplaced scrupulosity.—
At the same time, the Adjutant-General, and the
whole belligerent bench at the Horse Guards,
may, we should think, be tolerably easy as to
any extensive injury arising to the service from
the religious whims of officers.

[MORNING HERALD.]
The British Funds have for several days past
exhibited considerable dulness, and a great
number of persons entertain an idea that a
decline in them will very shortly take place.—
This prevailing opinion prevents many persons
from investing their money, who, otherwise,
would do so. The real money transactions in the
British Funds, consequently, are very limited,,
although a number of rather extensive time bar-
gains had been effected on Saturday. The fluc-
tuation in the price of Consols had, how-
ever, not exceeded a quarter per cent. and
they closed precisely the same as they
opened in the morning, their last price
being 96f,} for the Account, and 96i for
Money. In the Foreign Market the business
that day had been almost exclusively confined to
South American securities, and every effort of
human invention is resorted to to vary the
prices of them. Each succeeding day exhibits
the same persons acting widely different
to what they did the preceding day ; for
the same men who, on one day, are seen
speculating for a rise, are, the very next
day, as anxiously speculating for a fall ; and
that so much speculation should take place in
these Securities, in the total absence of all in-
telligence regarding them, excites considerable
surprise.

its details. He was also the author of several novels, which,
though not the first in that branch of composition, are entitled
to a praise not always due to the first, that of softening with-

THE THEATRE.

ITA YMA WU ET.— The -School for : Scandal, the
triumph of modern Comlc Genius, was repre-
sented :at this Theatre on Suturday, witisome,
variations in the performanee. We have seen this
excellent Comedy better performed during the
present' season at this Tybeatre. Mr. Dow Tom,
for the first time, took the Amrt of Sir Peter
Teazle. It was impossible for so•good an
,Actor
to mistake the character, but he certainly had
too jolly an appearance for a fusty old Bachelor,
and we conceive that he ought rather to have re-
sumed the part of Sir Oliver. That part, how.'
ever, was well supported by Mr. Youisovn, a
very respectable Actor. Mr. IlAstaLIN was
Joseph Sutface, a part in which he by no means
acquitted himself so well as in hamlet. Ile apr.
pears to have been accustomed to tragic acting,
and that has given a stiffnessind solemnily to his
manner altogether that does not accord with the
familiar habits of Comedy. Mrs. IlAssuLts, late
Aliss BLANCIIARD, a daughter of the respectable
veteran of Covent-garden Theatre, was Lady
Teazle. W e witnessed her former efforts with

pleasure, and the promise which
they held forth
was fully justified by her performance on this oc-
casion.. She was light, easy, and elegant, and
deserved the applause which she received. Mr.
NVILLtAsts was Crabtree. We were surprised to
see him render himself ridiculous by wearing hi,-
hair in a blue silk bag. Such an adoption would
have been absurd even in Sir Benjamin, a
young coxcomb. Mrs. GLOTEIt was " excel-
lent in Mrs. Candour. We cannot avoid
noticing the liberties which are taken with this
excellent Comedy by the interpolations of the
performers, with hardly an exception. The
Ladies, indeed, should be exempted from the
charge, as they confine themselves to the text,
but the men have no excuse for obtruding their

own nonsense upon such neat, spirited

liant dialogue. We will mention One instance
When Sir Oliver asks if he is " rather too
smartly dressed to look like a money-lender,"
Sir Peter answers " Not at all ; 't would not be
out of character, if you went in your own car-
riage—would it, Moses .9" Moses it to atuover7—

Nat in the 11:ast," but he thought proper to

. . .
add, '' I keep a gig myscif."—fiurely it is iti..
cumbent on the Managers of Theatres to prevent
such liberties from, being taken, for the honour
of departed genius.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.'

Colombian Bonds are nearly out of the market
and their value is consequently firmly maintain.
ed. A letter from Carthagena, dated on the 29th
August, represents that Republic to be increasing
in commercial prosperity. The duties on im-
ports had been reduced to that state, which
will not injure the revenue, because the con-
sumption will be increased, and there will be
less inducement to illicit trade. The circulating
medium had been a lsoconsiderably extended by the
regular payment of the military and of all the public
functionaries. A ship is now loading in the
Thames for Colombia, with a cargo of British
manufactures, valued at fifty thousand pounds.
The intercourse betwixt Colombia and Great
Britain must gradually increase, for at Bogota
alone there now reside not fewer than four hun-
dred of his Britannic Majesty's subjects, and as
the Government, at the solicitation of Mr. Hen-
derson, the British Consul General, has repealed
the impolitic laws previously existing, which pro-
hibited Foreigners from transacting any busi-
ness, unless through a Colombian Citizen,
the number of Englishmen in Colombia will
be rapidly augmented by the encouragement
which freedom of trmle holds out to their enter-
prize. It is much to be lamented that Mexico
has not adopted the enlightened commercial po-
licy of Colombia, by reducing the duties now le-
vied on foreign manufactured goods imported
into that Republic, for until they be reducnd,
the Island of St..) uan d'Ulloa, now in possession
of the Spaniards, will continue a great depot for
smuggling, nor can the submission of its garrison
be expected, so long as immense fortunes are ac-
quired by the low duties which is charged on
goods which lay under the protection of the bat-
teries, until they can be smuggled with security
into Mexico. By high duties the Mexican Re-
venue is deeply injured, and the trade of honour-
able merchants is sacrificed to smugglers.

[NEW TIMES.]

We have received Colombian Papers to the
106 of July. In noticing the departure of Col.
Campbell from Bogota on the 6th of July, the
Journalist passes high encomiums on that Of-
ficer's conciliatory behaviour and liberality of
sentiment; and expresses a confident hope that
his arrival in England will produce a resolution
uu the part of the British Cabinet distinctly fa-
vourable to Colombian independence. We lutve
no doubt but that Colonel Campbell's report,
together with his personal communications, will
be looked to by his Majesty's Ministers
as furnishing Most important grounds for the
formation of their judgment : and if it he
indeed true, as the Bogota writer asserts, that
Colombia possesses complete internai tranquil-
lity, attached to the established Consti,tution,
vigour in its Administration, harmony between
`the Constituted Authorities, anti perfect union
among all classes of the population, every gngr
Wimps will undoubtedly consider these circum"..

I stances as affording matter for sincere satisfaction,
and justifying the best dispositions toward the
new Republic. Still it must be remembered,
that an important consideration is here passed
over, namely, that of the external relations of the
State. Colombia is engaged in active hostilities
at a vast distance from her own frontier :
and our Government must at least wait for
the result of the Peruvian war, before it can
proceed the length of formally recognising Co.
lombian Independence. This reserve, how-
ever, is by no means incompatible with a warm
desire to see freedom firmly established in the
Southern part of the American Continent. The
Colombian Legislature and Executive are both
occupied in measures, which, while they evince a
great desire for public improvement, shew at the
same time that its pursuit is beset with numer-
ous difficulties. The Journalist speaks of " the
embarrassed state of the finances," and of
" the scandalous frauds committed on the Pub-
lic Revenue." The Senate complains of the
want of funds for the establishment of a pub-
lic Newspaper. And the Secretary of State,
recommending an amendment of the law of
education, complains that many of the new
schools have been abandoned in consequence
of the practical difficulties which that law pre-
sents. In an earlier number of the Bogota Paper
we find an article too long to extract, but writ-
ten with considerable ability, to recommend n
law for restraining females from taking the veil
till they have attained the years of discretion,
and even then limiting the duration of their vows
to a certain definite time.

Under the present circumstances of the Established Church

forming to the intentions of Government, by submitting to the
regulations of the Tithe Composition Act.
In the parish of Ferns, on Monday, last, the Lord. Bishop of
Ferns, as rector, and the Rev. Mark Charters, as vicar, agreed
in the most amicable manner with the parishioners of that
parish for twenty-one years for 900/. per annum. It is a most
pleasing reflection that this sum was the amount originally de-

but, what is more gratifying. still, that it

[NEW TIMESI_

Consols for Account closed on Saturday at
Mit In the course of the day an attempt was
made to depress them, in consequence of the ar-
rival of an Express, from Paris, bringing the
closing price of the Rentes for Account on
Thursday 1021. 95c.; but notwithstanding some
heavy vales were effected, and a momentary de-
pression of or I was effected, the market soon
regained its, tone. Indeed the prevailing opinion
is, that the British Funds will experience a de-
cided improvement before the end of the present
Account. Blaney is abundant, and its plenteous-
ness is strongly marked by the high premiums
ron Exchequer 131111 and India Bonds; the
farmer being 549. old, and s'7s. new ; the
latter as high as 100 s. It would seem that
cash is rather scarce at the present moment'
in Paris ; hut our Private Correspondents ascribe
this circumstance merely to the extensive opera•
tions which are now going on in the French
Stock Exchange; and intimate a belief that the
lapse of a few days will put an end to the ope.
ration of this cause.

A decline in the prices of almost every species
of the Foreign Securities took place in the course
of Saturday. 4t was known in the afternoon
that a private Express had been received from
Liverpool, announcing the arrival of the packet
ship from New York, with letters and papers
to the l6th ult. Inclusive. The substance of

the intelligence did not transpire; but from
a decline of the South American Securities,
it was inferred that the late favourable ru-
mours had not been confirmed. In the European
Securities there was the ordinary quantity of busi-
ness transacting, and the .following were the
prices at which those Stocks closed which bad
experienced any alteration :---Fressch Scrip was
about 1 per cent. lower, and closed at 13-i pre-
mium; Austrian Bonds 95? ; Prussian Bonds
continue a half per coot. above par, and Spaui4h

ALLIANCE COMPANY'.

An Extraordinary General Meeting of the No.
prietors of the Company took place this day in New Court,
pursuant to advertisement, to consider a prorSed alteration is
the Regulations of the Company, when the Chairman, Mr. !R-
-emo, addressed the Meeting in a short speech, informing
them that proceedings had lately been adopted by a single
shareholder in the Court of Chancery (to prevent the Company
from effecting Marine Insurances, and that the:Chancellor had
been pleased to grant in Injunction for; that purpose, as a new
Company might be formed for Marine Assurance, andi some of
the Directors of the Alliance Company might become Mem.,
bens of the Direction of such new Company ; it was deemed ex-
pedient to make such an alteration in the existing laws as might
enable them so to do.
The clause in the Deed proposed to be altered was then read
by the Solicitor; by which the Directors and Auditors of the
Alliance Company were precluded from becoming Directors or
Auditors of any other Company established, or to be established
for effecting Assurances. The alteration proposed was, that
they should be precluded from becoming Directors or .Auditcro
of any other Life oi Fire Assurance Company.
The Motion h been put from the Chair, was carried
unanimously.
A Proprietor (Mr. }booms) requested to put three ques-'
eons to the Chairman, viz.—What was the number of Shares
held by the individual who had applied to the Chancellor.__
whether he had held those Shares originally—and whether any
other Shareholders had joined him in protesting against the
314 foe Insurance?

The eIIAIRZIAIf replied, that Mr. Natusch had 15 shares,
and was an original subscriber for them ; that he was the only
plaintiff, but that on the Chancellor requiring to know whether
any, anti what other Shareholders were united with him in opi,
mon, Mr. Shaw, the:Chainnan of the Committee at Lloyd's.,
and Mr. Corbett, a holder of five Shares in the Coropuny,
hud
made an affidavit of their dissent.
The Meeting, which was fully attended, then broke up.

THE

IT A YMARKET.—The new Comic Opera of The
Aleuid was represented last night before a very
numerous audience. some judicious alterations,
or rather curtailments, have been made ; every
thing that excited displeasure on its first appear.
ance has been removed, and the whole is more
compact and interesting. There Is one cir-
cumstance, however, which it is strange that
it (lid not occur to the Author, and to the
Actor himself : Ltirrosr is made to appear idle
on the stage, sitting at a table, or saunter-
ing behind, not only during the sinking of
three airs in front, but during the encores which
Miss Pilaw( and Mrs. Vmartis are sure to excite.
The awkwardness. of such a situation might be
expected to strike the actor, if it escaped the at.
tention of the author. \V. mentioned this cir-
cumstance to a Lady, during the performance
last night, but far from assenting to the objec-
tion, she observed, that " it was agreeable to
look upon a Performer whose talents afford so
much entertainment." " Of this (as Dr. Jonm-
sog says) let the Ladies judge," speaking of one
who objected to a compliment paid to a Lady
by Yore, which said that. she

" No arts essay'd, but not to be atlinied,"
declaring that it was " an unnatural and incre-
dible panegyric." The music of this Opera
pleases more on repetition. The Composer (Mr.
NATHAN) has been unjustly accused of pla-
giaristn, because he introduced two old tunes in
the Overture, too well known for it to be sup-
posed that he intended to pass them as original.

STAFFORD, Ave. 10.

Mr. Justice LITTLEDALI: had concluded the criminal busi.

during the whole-morning in trying a case relative to a dispute
between two coal miners, and an ejectment case. Neither of
them possessed the slightest public interest.

These Assizes having terminated, the Judges proceeded to
open the Com mission at Shrewshtry to-morrow (Wednesday).

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]

The Eighteenth Report of the African Insti-
tution, which is just published, contains much
interesting information with respect to the pro.
gress made in putting down the disgraceful traffic
in .huthan beings. The GovernMent, which is
more than any other chargeable with the guilt of
conniving at this traffic, is that of Prance.—" The
largest chapter. in tide calamitous detail," says
the Report, "must be given, it is to he fearvil, to
France. :The remonstrances to that power have
been frequentlyand urgently, but unavailingly re.
mewed by SirCharlesStuart,eur Ministerat Paris."
The answers of M. de Villele .to the remon-
strances of our Ambassador, remind us of the
good old times, when a French Minister would
have been affronted by time supposition that he
could deviate into the telling of truth.—Know-
ing that no effective means were taken to put an
end to' the traffic, that in 'all the'ports of France,
but more -particularly in Nantes, • numerous yes-
eels were fitting out expressly for the slave trade,
that the rivers of Africa were swarming with
French slave traders, he yet had the assurance
to insult our Ambassador with the declaration
44 that the King's Government is not neglect.
ful of any measures of surveillance which lie within
its power, le order to repress this odious traffic,"
and that 44 the King's Government has been
neither less active, nor less severe than the Eng-
lish Government in detecting and punishing it."
The Directors of the African Institution met
this Insulting declaration, by a few plain and
unanswerable observations.----" If, say they, the
French Government has been neither less active
nor less sincere than the English Government,
how has it happened that not one instance of Slave-
trading under the English flag should have been
detected during the last ten years, whilst the
instances of French Slave-trading should have
~been absolutely innumerable ? flow happens it
also that, notwithstanding the multiplied proofs
which the French Government has 'had of the
utter inefficacy of the present Laws in repressing
the Slave Trade, it should still refuse to affix an
infamous punishment to the crime; while in Eng-
land,the crime is assimilated to piracy ? And how
,happens it, lastly, that while from England not
11. slave ship can be,ahewn to have been fitted oat
during the last year, indeed for many years. pre-
vieus, it can be shown that from the single port of
Nuntes,tio fewer than 30slave-ships were fitted out
in the course of only a few months of the year 1823,
.openly, with scarcely an attempt at concealment,
and: with the full knowledge and participation of
multitude, in that_ part ?—Suffice it to say, that
slave, ships under the French flag still actually
swarm upon the African coast; that they, carry
on their trade there with, perfect impunity, being
visited even
hy French cruisers without moleata-
[lo4 ; and that in consequence of their immunity
(rpm I)ritish rapture, they not only protect ex-
tensive interests propedy. French, but shelter the
criminal adventures of other natious,fron! detec•
lion and punishment."

Captain. Per 4 Grace, of his Majesty's. ship Cyrene,"
is now returning with her, in obedience to Admiralty
Orders, to Europe ; and as I am led to fear that his con=
duct in taking a French vessel may have been the muse of
these orders, and may, perhaps, retard his promotion,
trust that I shall not be deemed trespassing the proper line
of discretion, in humbly volunteering to express my meat
regrets at his departure, and the opinion 1 entertain of his zeal
for his Majesty's service. Recent information fully proves alit
the traffic in slaves is continued to be carried on in full vigoui
by the French ; during the period of eighteen months, ne less
than five vessels have taken cargoes at shebar, the mouth of
the Shcrbro ; as the Galina, and Cape Mount have not heen
visited for several months by our cruizera, the exact number of
slaves has not been ascertained, but I am informed on good ant.
thority, that scarcely one month has elapsed without two or
three French vessels being thus employed at those places; and
by the arrival of a Danish schooner we have information, that
she fell in with two at the Galinas, and one at Cape Mount.

MR. OWEI.WB MATCH.

This undertaking, to go on foot sixtj-iiiimiles per day for
twelve successive days (and not ten as first stated) was con-
cluded at a quarter before, one o'clock yesterday morning. It
was for 200 sovereigns over tour miles. Ile Allied his four
miles of ground to turf at Farefield, Epping Forest, on the
sixth clay, and the following is descriptive of each day's la.
hour. First day he slid his ground in about sixteen hours ;
second, third, and fourth, in about sixteen and a half, and he
rose eighteen hours on the ninth day, and felt lame; he how.
ever recovered, and on the tenth day the Pedestrian was nine-
teen hours at work, and on the two last days he trAvelled
nearly the whole time, and won the match with much difficulty,
having less than a quarter of an hour to spare. Sixty miles
per day, for ten clays, is the most that has been done in this
way before.

DREADFUL SUlClDE.—Yesterday afternoon a
considerable commotion prevailed near the
pliant and Castle, Newington, in consequence of
a respectable young man, in the employ of Mr.
KAY, a French and English biscuit-baker in the
Landon-road, having hung himself. The crowd
that assembled opposite the house was very nu.
merous, and various reports were in circulation
respecting his committing the dreadful act. On
enquiry we found his name was William Davis,
aged 23, and had been in the employ of Mr.
Kay for.two years. The greater part of yeste.r-
terday he was engaged in assisting the waggoners
to unload some flour into the loft, and it was in
the interim of waiting the arrival of other wag-
gons that he suspended himself to a beam in the
loft, where he was afterwards discovered quite
lifeless. Medical assistance was promptly called
in, but without effect.
We lament to state that a gentleman of the

[BRITISH PRESS.]

The lust advices from Jamaica, via New York,
have disappointed the expectations in which we
had indulged as to the -tranquilization of the
negroes. Not only was the partial revolt of the
slaves in the Hanover district not suppressed, but,
on the 17th of June, the insurrection had spread
to several estates in the parish of St. Mary's,
and symptoms of insubordination had been mani-
fested at other places in the island. The alarm
was so great among the white inhabitants, that
martial law had been proclaimed, and every mea-
sure of precaution resorted to, for the gene-
ral safety. Some excesses had. been committed
by the insurgents, but of what character, or to
what extent, we are not informed. We may, we
fear, too truly anticipate, that many atrocities had
marked the first successes of the, rebels. All his-
tory bears witness to the horrors of every bellum
servile ; and the feelings of the colonists and their
revolted slaves are exasperated by that deep and
almost inexpressible hatred, arising from the dif-
ference of colour. We are fur from imputing to
any of our countrymen that they regard these
events but with pain and anxiety. If the spirit
which unhappily seems to be excited among the
slave population in the West Indies cannot be
suppressed ; if they cannot be effectually curbed
while the measures are brought into operation for
the amelioration of their condition ; if the mis-
chievous delusions which have, somehow or other,
been spread amongst them cannot be end ica ted,w e
are afraid that the ruin of our colonies must
ensue, and the hopes of the abolitionists them-
selves be annihilated. The duty of raising the
negro in the seek; of society, by enlarging his
knowledge and improving his morals, is fully
admitted on all hands. It is no where pretended
that slavery ought to be perpetuated. The only
question at issue is, whether in this case the old
adage may not hold good, viz. " the more haste
the worse speed." All our sympathy is not due
exclusively to the negro. Some part of our
benevolence ought to be reserved for those
who belong to our own blood. Do we for-
ward
the interest,: of the slaves by teaching them
to look with jealousy and distrust upon those
to whom, after all, the work of their improvement
must be devolved ? We do not mean to assert,
that any of the abolitionists have directly instill-
ed such a doctrine into the slaves ; but the fact
is now placed beyond a doubt by the rebellious
disposition of the negroes, that they do look upon
their masters with evil eyes, and that this feeling
has kept pace with the, activity of the efforts
made in this country, to accelerate an event
which can be matured only by the slow progress
of ageti.
