by young Englishmen who are at present domiciliated in that
City.

As a proof of the increase in the trade of this
port, a cargo of brandy, from Charente, has this
week been landed, a circumstance which has not
occurred during the last fourteen years, barring
smuggling.—(Southampton County Chron.)
We have great pleasure in stating the pros-
perous state of our town's affairs, as far as regards
the payments to the poor. Not long ago we
paid as much as five hundred pounds a week to
the casual poor. This week, the same class of
Poor have been paid with less than fourteen
pounds.—(Shefficed Iris.)

TO MR. HURTADO.

SIR.--The long-wished for period of your arrival in England
was hailed by the public with the full hope that you were come
to acknowledge the Colombian Loan, or at all events to state
hi a manly and upright manner the final decision of your
Government. But our surprise equals our regret in learning,
that, as a primary measure, you have first to settle all the ac-
counts and differences existing between the British Merchants
and the Colombian Government. We cannot see what this has
to do with the Loan of Mr. ZEA ; we are at a loss to conjecture
upon what principle your Government can acknowledge debts
growing out of the money procured by the loan, and yet

SUPREME COURT.

The fourth law term of the current year commenced on
Friday, with a long and heavy list of causes, which will require
protracted and laborious sittings for disposal. The interesting
and difficult question arising out of a recent arrest, to which we
referred in our supplement of Friday, was fully discussed;
but the point remains unsettled. The case was briefly this, as
disclosed by the affidavit : Captain Betham, in the year 1821,
purchased a ship called the Asia, at Bombay, for which he ne-
gociated bills to the amount of 82,000 rupees payable in Lon-
don, with Messrs. Baxter and Osborn, for securing payment
of which he executed a bottomry bond on the said ship. On
Captain Betham's arrival in London, he found he was unable
to take up the bills of exchange, became a bankrupt, and sub-
sequently obtained a certificate of bankruptcy. In the mean-
time Mr. Baxter arrived in London, and took possession of the
ship, which he has since retained, and not allowed the defend-
ant to have any thing to do with her. It was also stated that
the plaintiff Baxter was in London during the whole time the
creditors of the defendant were proving their debts under the
commission of bankruptcy, but did not prove any debt himself.
On Captain Betham's arrival at this port, he was arrested on
Monday last on a capias for 75,000 rupees, at the suit of
Messrs. Baxter and Osborn. Upon these grounds Mr. Pugh
moved for the discharge of Captain Betham from the custody
of the Sheriff upon his filing common bail; and cited many
strong cases to shew that he was entitled to have his motion
granted, and that the defendants' certificate of bankruptcy
ought to be a discharge from all debts. The Court, however,
refused to interfere in a summary manner in a case of such
importance to the commercial community, and of such novelty
in this Court, and put the defendant to plead his certificate.—
As the question will therefore be fully mooted on a future occa-
sion, we will not anticipate the decision that may be come to.
The Advocate-General of Madras, Mr. Compton, is, we un-
derstand, about to leave us, at all events, for a season. The
learned advocate has been, offered, in the most flattering man-
ner, by the Supreme Government, the provisional appointment
of Advocate-General of Bengal, vice Mr. Fergusson, who, we
are inforined, has notified his intention of resigning on the
Ist proximo, preparatory to returning to his native land, by
way of Egypt.
Mr. Compton, we hear, proceeds with his family to Calcutta
in the H. C. ship Princess Charlotte of Wales. He will return
to this Presidency, to resume his present situation, immediately
a successor to Mr. Spankie is appointed from home.

THE ARMY.

The several Recruiting Parties throughout
Great Britain and Ireland, having received their instructions,
are now actively employed in raising men for the three new
Regiments of the Line, whose establishments, it is expected,
will be in a very short time completed. The head-quarters
of the 97th Regiment are changed from Gosport to' inchester.
A squadron of the 15th Hussars, commanded by Major
William Booth, arrived at Brighton on Saturday, from Can-
terbury, to replace the head-quarters of the 7th Hussars, which
regiment is ordered to the neighbourhood of town.

THE THEATRES.

DRURY.LANE.—We were in hopes that if so
low, though humorous, a piece as The Beggar's
Opera, which may be considered as a .Nursery
for Thieves, were not wholly withdrawn, that no
female would be suffered to appear in the part of
Macheath. That part, however, was last night
again assigned to Mrs., or, as she is ridiculously
styled, Madame VESTRIS, who, compared with
the gang whom she commands, looked like a
cock sparrow at the bead of a troop of turkies.
Let the Managers look at the fine print of
WALKER, the original Macheath, and they will
be struck with the absurdity of such an
assignment of the character. They have HORN
at their Theatre, who has often represented
the part with success, and ought not to be de-
prived of it. The Opera itself is sufficiently
disgusting to the improved taste of the times, but
is rendered more so by the appearance of a female
in Macheath, which demands a form capable of
commanding a band of ruffians. Miss STEPMENi
warbled the airs of Polly, with her usual sweet;
ness, and DOWTON and TERRY gave sufficient
effect to Locket and Peachum. The new Pan-
tomime continues to attract, and the machinery
works with more celerity. Nothing, however, can
be more ridiculous than the dress of Pantaloon.—
There was a numerous audience.
COYENT.GARDEN.—The fine drama of Julius
Ccesar was represented last night at this Theatre.
The three chief characters, Brutus, Cassius, and
Mark Anthony were well sustained by YOUNG,
COOPER, and C. KEMBLE. Nor should EGER..
TON, in Julius Ccesar, be passed over without a
commendatory notice, as he is a firm and judici
ousaator, and gave a dignified energy to the cha-
racter. We were struck with the new, and to us
the just emphases of C. KEMBLE, in Anthony, in
the following speech, over the corpse of Brutus:
" This was the noblest Roman of them all :
" All the conspirators, save only he,
" Did that they did in envy of great Cesar;
" He, only, in a general honest thought,
" And common good to all, made one of them."
This antithesis had never before, within our ob-
servation, been pointed out, though apparently
obvious. The Tragedy was at times disturbed
by the buzzing of the Gallery gentry, but they
were attentive enough during the Pantomime
which followed, and which was much applauded.

The Tragedy of The Vespers of Palermo is to
be brought forward again as soon as a substitute
is ready for the character performed by Miss F.
H. KELLY. Miss LACY has been mentioned, but
it is to be reserved for Miss FooTE, when she is
recovered from her indisposition. It would in.
deed be a subject of regret if so well written a
tragedy should be withdrawn without a fair ap-
peal to the public tribunal.

cious promises at the commencement of the pre.
sent year are speedily confirmed by further and
more decisive indications of a pacific character.

It has become so much the fashion of late,
amongst the Ultras of the Continent, to attri-
bute every adverse political event to the agency
of Freemasonry, that even the present un-
pleasant state of affairs in the Island of Jamaica

has been traced to the mysterious and dangerous
machinations of the Craft! The Etoile gravely
informs its Readers that " a plot has been disco-
vered in Jamaica, Al hich was framed by some
Free Masons who had entered into a correspond-
ence with the Colombian Admiral PA nILLA !
The head of the Masonic Lodge (the Etoile
adds) was a Negro Barber, named PINNER() :"

CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this
morning at 8782 for the Account, and soon after
they rose to 87, which was owing to an Express
from Paris, bringing the French Jtentes at
92f. 85c. Ido not hear of any news of import-
ance from the above Capital.
FoRICIGN MARKET.-Spanish Bonds opened
at 25, and went up to i-26, at which price
they remain steady, owing to many persons still
believing that the Old Spanish Loan will be re-
cognised. The chief business doing is in the
New Austrian Loan and Russian Bonds, which.
retain their prices. In all other Foreign Securi-
ties there is very little doing.
London, England, 1824-01-02

object or intent of that Missionary to excite the
slaves to acts of insubordination, it seems strange,
at least, that his Brother-Missionary, deputed
from the same Society, and acting in the same
cause, and, as we must presume, under similar
instructions, should have pursued a course so
opposite as that which has been imputed to
him. Although a few weeks may bring us the
result of the Court-martial on Mr. Smith, in
whose case the prosecution had closed on the
25th of October, and whose defence was to open
on the Ist of November, we can hardly in the
mean time refrain from asking what a religious
instructor sent from England could propose to
himself by trepanning the miserable slaves into
an attack oa a settled government, and on a
powerful military force. Unless he was a lunatic,
he must have foreseen the immediate and necessary
issue of such a contest; but in the narrative before
us, a distinct cause is assigned for the revolt of
the Negroes near Mr. Smith's residence, which
exempts him from all participation with the in-
surgents. It appears that an order had been
given for the arrest of two Negroes on a conti-
guous estate, and that those on the estate of
Ressouvenir assembled to rescue the prisoners,
on their passage through. This, however, like
the accounts first received, must be yet regarded
as an ex-parte statement. 'We wish the Missionary
may, if innocent, be proved so : we likewise trust
that no danger may arise to him from the desperate
tales of culprits, in terror for their own fate, or
from the prejudices or arbitrary temper of an un-
constitutional court, or a hasty Governor. Gen.
Murray's conduct has been questioned on former
occasions, by persons of respectable character and
station in Demerara. A petition has been long be-
fore the King in Council", from clergymen of the
English, Dutch, and Scotch churches, praying for
redress for alleged injuries offered to them by
Governor Murray, who is represented, in a series
of documents said to have been copies of official
correspondence, to have insisted, contrary to law,
on the performance of certain administrative
duties by the above Rev. Gentlemen—to have,
on their refusal, removed them illegally from the
performance of functions which they had faithfully
and usefully discharged—and to have brought a
number of wrongful accusations against them. The
merits of the case being yet sub judice, we shall
say nothing more ; but that as Negroes may be
barbarous, and Missionaries in insane, so a Go-
vernor may be impolitic, indiscreet, and over-
bearing.

SOUTH AMERICA.

(From the Caraccas Gazette of .Arov. 11.)
IMPORTANT NEWS.

We have just had the satisfaction of conversing
with General Santiago Marino, from whom we
have learnt the valiant achievement of our troops
against Puerto Cavello. At two o'clock yes-
terday morning the battalion of Anzoategui, com-
manded by Mala, and 150 lancers of the
Guard, entered Puerto Cavello by the way
of .the Mangle, and surprised the garrison
to the number of 500 men, including their
chiefs, Calzada and Carrera, in the inner town.
All were put to the edge of the sword. The
enemy had had the rashness to contemn the pro-
posals of capitulation, which his Excellency Ge-
neral Paez had previously made them. Our bat-
teries had been firing on the town all the pre-
ceding day, and it was returned fourfold by the
enemy ; at half-past eight at night the firing ceas-
ed, and worn out with fatigue, they sunk in sleep
to wake in eternity. Our lancers were obliged
to wake them, that they might receive their
deaths.

His Excellency General Marino mounted his

horse immediately after the assault, and has ar-
rived here to have an interview with the In-
tendant on public affairs. The surrender of the
citadel ought to follow forthwith, since the whole
garrison were in the inner town, and no more

than 30 men in the citadel. The valiant Gene-
rals Paez, Bermudez, and Marino have had the
glory of terminating, by their united effort!, the
war of Venezuela, and with all its accompanying
evils.

Countrymen ! The temple of Janus is shut.—
May blessings attend the defenders of the
country.

QUITO.

The latest information received by Govern-
ment, from the Liberator and President, is of the
‘2,2d of last July from Quito.
The southern departments enjoyed tranquillity
with the exception of the neighbourhood of Past°,
which was still kept in alarm by the rebels who
escaped from the action of Ibarra on the 18th of
July.

His Excellency the Liberator had thought fit
to commission Brigadier-General Sucre to pro-
ceed to Peru, to give effect to the aid granted to
that country by the Republic—and in order to
employ it in the campaign with profit and ad-
vantage. General Sucre had arrived at Lima,
Is here lie was received with every mark of re-
spect and attention.

A weekly journal has lately appeared in
Quito, called "El Monitor Quiteno." We re-
joice at every event which gives strength and
consolidation to the liberty of the press, and
which tends to unite the most distant sections of
the Republic. The subscription to the above
paper is 12 dollars annually, and may be had at
the post offices of Bogota, Caraccas, Carthagena,
Popayan, Panama, Cumana, and Guayaquil.

THE MARKETS.

CORN-EXCHANGE, JAN. 2.
The arrivals are still small, owing principally to contrary
winds—Wheat, 2500 ; Barley, 1700 ; Oats, 700 quarters ;
Flour, 2100 sacks ; Irish Oats, 3550 quarters. Our Millers
appear inclined to purchase very little to-day, and the prices of
I,l'heat are not quite supported. All other Grain fully maintain
last quotations, but most of our buyers are disposed to wait for
larger supplies before they make any considerable purchases.

SMITHFIELD MARKET, JAN. 2.
The above market was this morning short of Cattle, parti.,
cularly in Oxen, and but few appeared of good quality ; but
there appeared among the Butchers a disposition to purchase
articles of good quality, and the prices may be quoted as
follows :

THE ARMY.

A detachment of recruits marched yesterday
morning from the Recruiting Department, West-
minster, for Winchester, the head-quarters of the
95th (now raising) Regiment of Infantry, and for
the depot in the Isle of Wight.

It is understood that the number of recruits which has been
already raised for the 95th Regiment, will very nearly coin -
plete the establishment of that corps.
The detachment of the 40th (2d Somersetshire) Regiment of
Foot, which was ordered to embark on board the Castle-Forbes,
in the River, for the purpose of proceeding to Cork, to guard
the convicts ordered to be conveyed from Ireland to New
South Wales, remains still in the River.
The detachment, consisting of six officers and 100 marines,
which embarked on board the Antelope, as guards over the
convicts that are ordered to be conveyed to Bermuda, remains
wind-bound at Portsmouth.
The Colonelcy of the 2d Battalion of the Royal Artill2ryl
which became vacant by the death of Lieutenant-General B.
Willington, has not yet been filled up.
The transports which are now conveying the 23d (Royal
Welch Fusileers) Regiment of Foot, to Gibraltar, are ordered
to bring the 75th Regiment of Infantry from that Garrison to
Portsmouth.

The following Officers of Artillery have been appointed to
commands, and are to proceed forthwith to their respective sta-
tions :—Lieut.-Col. Hon. W. Gardner, Malta ; Lieut.-Col.
Walker, Barbadoes ; Lieut.-Col, Drummond. Mauritius ;
Lieut.-Col. Pym, lonian Islands ; Lieut,-Col. Carey, Cape of
(iood Hope; Lieu. Col. Broome, Jamaica.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AGRA.

" The lion. Mr..lonst ADAst, accompanied by Captain
Riddell, reached the station yesterday morning ; having, I
understand, advanced in his northern route, by the Adjunta
pass through Candeish, he visited Borhanpore, Asseergurgh,
and crossing the Nurbudda, at Mundlaisir, the ruins of Man-
doogurh, thence - through Mhow, Indore, and Objein to the
field of Mehedpore, and from that place to Bhanpora,
where a large and expensive monument, over the re-
mains of Jeswunt-Rao-Holkar, is nearly finished. Thence
to the temples of Barowlee, near Bansuroorgurh and
waterfalls of the Chumhul, from whence he continued
his march via Kotah and Boordee towards Futahpore-
Tikm, where, being met by Mr. G. Saunders of the Civil
Service and Captain Turner, Fort Adjutant, he was conducted
by these gentlemen from that place into Agra. Mr. Adam is
much improved in health anti strength, but not being suffi-
ciently recovered to admit of his proceeding directly to the
I lower provinces ; he therefore, I apprehend, proposes passing
the hot weather at Almoralt, in the Napaul hills, for which
place he means to set out in a few dap by Dawk, and thence
returns to the Presidency after the rains. This long journey,
finished in two months and ten days, without the occurrence
of any difficulty or serious accident, there scarcely hav-
ing been a sick person on the whole of the way, proved
highly amusing, interesting, and gratifying. I heard, that
the gentlemen of the Civil and Military Service, as well as
the Native inhabitants of every class and description, of the
countries which he traversed, appeared to vie with each other,
not only in paying him such honours and shewing him such
marks or• respect and attention as arc due to his rank and well.

THE THEATRES.

DItUIIY•LANE.—Tite Cabinet was repeated last
night, and Mr. SAPIO again excited the applause
of a. numerous audience by his general perform-
ance of Prince Orlando. The public appearance
of this able Performer, is calculated to be
very beneficial to those who devote themselves
to vocal exertions in private, as his science and
taste afford an admirable lesson. The new
farce of ]l Uncle Gabriel followed. It is whim-
sical and diverting inherently, hut its popularity
is chiefly owing to the general merit of the
performers.

COVENT•G A IMEN.—There seems to be an in.
twin!' in both houses to run a race as to the
comic 'opra of The Cabinet. • Mr. Siscr.Atit
made his first appearance during the present sea-
son last night in the
,part of Prince Orlando, and
was very well received. Ile certainly improves,
in acting. Ile introdticed a song from the Irish
Melodies, beginning %riff' " llelieve me if all
those endearing young chaimi," with such effect
as excited much applause, and :he wits encored
in the 'Potacca. In consequence of YAW-
CETT'S having resigned the part of /VAints'i-
cut°, it was last night assigned to Duailstrr,
who, considering that it is quite out of, the line
of his usual acting, gave a promising omen of fu-
lure comic ease and sprightliness. Miss PAToN,aii
USUal,'sting find acted, in the part of Floretta, with
Considerable merit. It is observed in a Morning
Paper, " Eu passant, that her situation is be•
coming daily
less equivocal, and her friends
ought to take upon themselves the reconciling
the contradictory reports which have been cur.
rent for some time past relative to her mar.
riage." 'We consitter this remark as an.
necessary. The fact of the marriage is well
known, as are also the domestic reasons for
its concealment from the public. Her chit.
racier, therefore, cannot suffer, whatever, her
appearance may be, and her prudence must
be admired for her sacrifice of pride, in order, by
the exertion of her talents, to acquire a compe.
tent provision for private life. The farce of !'he
Duel, which followed, afforded much entertain.
meat to the audience.

BY JOHN TAYLOR, ESQ..

So E, deck'd tvit t well-won honours, rie'er repine
That MrnlT'S usual fate at length is thine;
That Ignorance and Envy should bewail
When GENIUS triumphs, is a common tale :
Nature bestow'd on thee a pregnant mind,
And Fortune to its ainishai still been kind, *
Enoulih, the rzige-of Malice to provoke, •
And tempt th.public or the secret stroke :
But whilst thy labours studiously explore
The mighty GRECIAN and the ROMAN store,
Blending their charms to grace thy native land,
•
AloOf from Envy thou shalt firmly stand.
Besides thy SOV'REIGN of thy work approves * •
Whom TASTE embellishes, and SCIENCE loves.
And since thy life is mark'd by actions kind,
Diffusing riches with n bounteous mind,
FAME shall secure thee lasting honours here,
And VIRTU... raise thee to a happier sphere.. •
