By letters received yesterday from Madrid, it
appears that on the Ist instant, a party of Con-
stitutional Guerillas entered the town of Tar-
racon, about twelve leagues from that city, and
put to death the Alcalde, three others of the
civic authorities, and eleven of the towns-people.
This daring act was in revenge for the punishment
of two of their comrades who had been put to
death at Madrid for being concerned in a move-
ment in favour of the Constitution. The guerillas
were enabled to effect their retreat from Tarracon
without molestation.

The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund yes
tetchy purchased stock to the amount of 26,(•001
being about 80001. more than the daily sum ap-
propriated during the last quarter to that pur-
pose. It is understood that the amount appli-
cable to the Sinking Fund for the existing
quarter will not be less than 1,150,0001.-4 sum
which, in addition to that accruing from the
savings' banks for investment, must absorb a con-
siderable portion of the Hosting stock in the
market.

The Commissioners of ids Majesty's Customs
have caused large bills to be posted at Margate

boat one of the seamen belonging to the Pre-
ventive Service stationed at Bexhill, in Sussex,
whom, it is supposed, they murdered, us his body
was afterwards found washed on shore.
CiIuIsTiANITY IN INDIA —The first Protestant
Missionary in Calcutta, was J. F. Kiernander. This humble
preacher of the Gospel came to Calcutta in the year 1758, and was
received with marked favourby LordClive,and the members of the
Supreme Council. A house, rent free, was assigned to him, and a
subscription was raised to enable him to open a school, which was
soon attended by a large number tile!) ildren( belonging tolleathen,
Mahommedan, and Portuguese parents), who were instructed in
the English language,reading, writing, arithmetic, and theprinci-
ples of Christianity. In 1757, Mr. hiern3nder, being obliged to
give up,for the useof Government,th.: house which he hadibrmerly
occupied, resolved to build a Church at his own charge, and on his
own ground, a work which during the next three years was
brought to a snccesful termination,
at the expence of 60,000
sicca rupees. This edifice was opened for Divine Service in the
year 1770, and with some subsequent improvements, is now the
elegant building known by the name of the Old, or :Mission
Charch.—( Calcutta Scotsman.)
SURREY THEATRE.—Last night this Theatre
was the scene of contention between the management and the
audience, owing to the non-appearance of Monsieur Cline,
the French Hercules, who was announced in the bills to
display his wonderful powers of balancing. While the
band were playing the overture to Der Frelacloutz (the
aftetpiece), the first indications of a storm were percep-
tible, which, on the raising of the curtain, burst forth with
tremendous fury. Mrs. Blanchard and Mrs. boveday were
vainly entleavounng to proceed, when one of the Managers found
himself under the necessity of addressing the audience, assur-
ing them that Mr. Cline had been engaged by Mr. Williams
only, for his benefit, the preceding evening—that the manage-
ment had not engaged him, and he hoped therefore the
entertainments would be suffered to proceed. This apology wits
worse than useless ; the uproar increased tenfold, and the cur.
tain fell amidst loud cheers, and after a pause the same manager
once more presented himself, and declared that, although by ex-
tending their performances the licence of their house would be
endangered, yet at the close of the first act Mr. Cline would go
thro' his performances. This announcement was greeted from all
parts of the house, and the piece proceeded quietly to the end of
the first Act, when the same gentleman once more made his
appearance, and stated that he was unable to fulfil his promise,
because Mr. Cline had positively, refused to perform. A person
in the pit rose and said, that Mr. C. had just left the pit, and
would perform if be was paid. The manager appealetl to the
House, if they had not always kept their pledge with the public,
and hoped that in such a paltry matter they might not be
deemed guilty of a falsehood. He now withdrew ; but ou the
recommencement of the storm, it appeared that his apppeal had
the majority, after a sharp contest, declar-
rnrgodiunchetils iftasveoffuere,
and the piece then proceeded.
WEAVEItS' ASSOCIATION IN PAISLEY.— Last
week a numerous meeting of operative weavers, amounting to
upwards of 1,200, met in St. James's-street chapel, to consider
the propriety of forming a union, to prevent, as far as possible,
the reduction of prices, and to obtain a uniform and fair remu.
neration for their labour. Resolutions in accordance with the
objects of the meeting were adopted.
The woman who was drowned by the sinking
of the steam engine barge on the Thames, as
stated in our Paper of Monday, proves to have
been an abandoned character, the wife of an in-
_ dustrious tradesman in Lambeth.
