fiance. It is time that this rumour, if founded
on fact, should be put to rest, but that there has

been some intimation given, if not a regular over-
ture made, we should judge from the complec-
tion of the President's Message itself.

[From. the Mercantile Advertiser, of Jan. 12.]

A rumour has reached us from Washington, not

unworthy of notice ; the rumour is, that several in-
terviews between Mr. Canning and Mr. Rust
have taken place, on the subject of an offensive
atid defensive alliance, but nothing had passed in
the shape of formal and specific propositions. It
is said Mr. Canning wished to somid Mr. Rush,
to ascertain what 'were the precise sentiments of
the American Government-; that the answer of
our Minister was, that he could not speak de-

cidedly, but he was ready to transmit any pro-
Posal made by the English Minister to his Go-
vernment. Things remained in this state to the

last advices.

LONDON SESSIONS, F En. 5.

These Sessions, which in the ordinary course would have
takeoplace on the day next but one after the conclusion of the.
Session at the Old Bailey, but had been postponed in conse-
quence of the illness of Mr. Recorder, was held at the Guild-
hall yesterday ; the Aldermen Azist.Er, ATXINs, SCHOLEY,
and Lucas (a sufficient number of Magistrates to lona a
Court), were in attendance; as was also Mr. Sheriff LAURIE..
ABSENCE or THE RECORDEk.
It had been known on the over-night that the attendance of
Mr. Recorder was not to be expected, the indisposition of the
Learned Gentleman continuing, to be so severe as to. confine
him to his bed; and as it was therefore net expected that any
busimsa ii-ould be proceeded on- in his absence, the Bar pre_
seated a desolate appearance, Mr. Alley being- the only
i Counsel in attendance. However imperfect the attendance
of the Recorder may appear to be, as far as respects the neces-
sity of his assistance in a legal point of view to the Court,
he is only one individual in the Commission, and his presence,
it seems, is not indispensable, and the Court are competent to
'proceed without him. This is not the case merely at a Gene-
ral or Quarter Sessions, but even at the Sessions of Oyer and
Terrniner at the Old Bailey. The Lord Mayor, even at
these important Sessions, is the head of the Court, and. if
a sufficient number of Magistrates in the commission be
present, the Court is competent to proceed to the trial of pri-
soners, and is not hound to wait even for the Judges. An
instance of this occurred once at the Old Bailey, in the mayor-
alty of Mr. Alderman Townsend. By some accident the
Judges were delayed, and his Lordship having taken the chair,
after observing that the Court were not bound to wait till the
Judges could make it convenient to attend, ordered a prisoner
to be put to the bar, proceeded with the trial himself, arid wcs
in the act of summing up the evidence to the Jury when the
Learned Judges entered the Court. Their appearance, how-
ever, did not at all prevent his proceeding, and he concluded
the case, and took the verdict of the Jury. Mr. Wilkes, when.
Lord Mayor, frequently exercised the privilege of trying pri-
soners.

PROMAMATION.

BY HIS EXCELLENCY MAJOR-GENERAL JOHN MURRAY,
LIEUTENANT-OOVERNOR AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF
IN AND OVER THE UNITED COLONY OF DEMERARA
AND ESSEQUEBO, &C.
Whereas such part of the slava population of this united co.
lony as, during the late unhappy disturbances resisting the in-
fluence of bad example and vicious excitements, have remained
true to their allegiance, and faithful to their lawful masters,
have, by such their good conduct, proved themselves worthy of
confidence and every reasonable indulgence :—lt is deemed ex-
pedient, notwithstanding the recently disturbed state of the
colony, that the approaching holidays should be duly observed
among those peaceable and well-disposed slaves ; and I have
therefore thought fit to issue this my proclamation, hereby or-
dering and directing all proprietors, managers, attornies, and
others, having charge of such slaves, within this settlement, to
sanction and encourage such observance of the Christmas holi-
days among their slaves, as is usual, viz.—That such slaves
shall not be called upon to perform any manner of work on
Thursday, the 25th day of this month, but shall have that day
as a holiday, to dance or employ themselves as is usual on such
or4asions ; and that Friday, the 28th, shall be a day of rest and
indulgence, until 12 o'clock at night—the slaves returning to
their usual avocations on Saturday, the 27th, at the accustomed
hour. But Ido hereby positively forbid alt persons having
charge of slaves on the east coast of this colony, from George- '
town to Mabaica Creek, on any pretence or consideration what-
ever, whether such slaves shall have been actually engaged in
the recent riotous procoedings or not, to admit of any dancing
or indulgence whatever among them during the approaching
holidays—save only that Christmas-day being one of religi-
ous observance, such slaves shall not be called upon to perform
any work.
Given under my hand and seal of office, at the King's House,
in George-town, this 16th day of December, 1823, and in the
fourth year of his Majesty's reign.

PEDESTRIANISM.

Thursday week, Lloyd,the pedestrian, relinquished his
task, of walking 75 miles for three successive days, on the road
from Coventry to Warwick, having only performed on that
day half the required distance. On Wednesday he travelled
only 55 rniles.—At Coventry, on Tuesday, he undertook to
pick up with his mouth three hundred stones, placed a yard

Small as this little tract is, its interest is great.
It is translated from the French publication of
its author's Travels. These had been already
translating into English ; but, singularly enough,
the translator thought fit to abridge what is the
subject of the present pamphlet, for which he
assigns as a reason, that the Edinburgh Review,
had printed it in detail ; and, on referring to that
work, we find, that that too gives it only in part.
Our Translator has subjoined, as notes, those
parts of Dr. BELL'S National System which are in
accord with the plans pursued at Hofwyl, and
thereby essentially adding-to .the interest of his
publication, which we doubt not will excite the
notice of all our Readers who take part in the
well-being of the rising generation. It is very
probable that the National System will find its
way,ultimately into all branches of instruction,
and to none does it appear to us more applicable
than to the mechanical arts. At llofwyl it is
applied to every branch.

LOTTERIES IN ENGLAND.

The first English Lottery was drawn A.D.
1569. It consisted of forty thousand lots, at tea
shillings each lot. The prizes were plate, and
the profits were to go towards repairing the
havens of this kingdom. It was drawn (as Malt-
land from Stow informs us, vol. i. p. 257.) at the
west door of St. Paul's Cathedral. The drawing
began on the 11th of January, 1569, and con-
tinued, incessantly, day and night, until the 6th
of May following. At this time there were only
three lottery offices in London. The proposal
for this lottery were published in the years 1567
and 1565. It was, at first, intended to have been
drawn at the house of Mr. Dericke, her Majesty's
servant (i.,e. her jeweller), but was afterwards
drawn as above-mentioned. Dr. Rawlinson
shewed the Society of Antiquarians, in 1748, a
copy of the preceding lottery scheme, and it is
thus entitled—" A proposal for a very rich lot-
tery, general without any blankes, containing a
great number of good prizes,as well of ready money
as of plate, and certain sorts of merchandizes,
having been valued and prised by the command-
ment of the Queene's Most ExcellentMajestye's

TITS TETEATRES.

DRUL2T-LANE.—The new version of Der
Freischutz, was repeated last night before a much
more numerous audience than could be expected,
considering the inclemency of the weather. The
scenery went off with better effect, and the mu-
sic was correctly and ably performed. Miss
GRADDON sung well, but she should improve her
deportment. We were surprised to see so good
a musician in science and voice as Miss Cuarrr
brought on merely to assist in a chorus. Iloas,
by his performance of Caspar, must considerably
raise his reputation as an actor. lie sustained
the part throughout with feeling and a just con-
ception of the character. The overture was en-
cored, and the piece was announced for repeti-
tion with general assent.

CovENT-GinneN.— Mrs. SLOMAN, who ac-
quitted herself so well in Belvidera, last night
assumed the part of Mrs. Haller, in the play of
The Stranger, and was not less successful, as the
approbation of the audience fully testified. It is
evident that if she has not had much experience,
she acts from the lights of good sense and obser-
vation. lice person is pleasing, but she does not
reach the height of beauty which the author has
imagined in the descriptions of other characters in
the Play. It is too COMM!) a fault with dramatic
Writers to represent in the warmest terms the
personal charms of their heroines, not reflecting.
that Actresses may be found with abilities ca-
pable of rendering full justice to the several
parts, but may want the supposed exterior pre-
tensions. Hence such Actresses, whatever their
talents may be, are not able to make a due lin-
pression on the audience, and powerfully to ex-
cite sympathy. Authors should confine them-
selves to the qualities of the mind in the delinea-
tion of character, and then, if beauty should be
combined with genius in the actress, the surplusage
will render the part more affecting. YOUNG'S
Stranger may rank with his best performances.
We perceive that most of the diurnal Critics have
objected to the moral of this piece, as tending
to excite too lenient a feeling towards infidelity
in a wife. The objection is just, but easily ob-
viated. Mrs. Haller, deeply acknowledging her
fault in deserting her husband, should state that
us soon as she reflected on her error, she viewed
her gallant with horror, abandoned him at once,
and preserved her honour. Her husband then
might properly receive her, otherwise he
must appear like the " wretched Altamont,"
and excite contempt rather than pity. We
have no doubt that in its present state the
play of The Stranger has a very mischievous
tendency, and has probably been productive of
lamentable consequences, in casting a veil of
compassion over female infidelity. In fact the
play should not be suffered on the stage unless
some alteration of the kind which we have sug-
gested should be made, in due homage to the
cause of morality.

CORN AVERAGES.

The following Affidavit, which appeared in
The Times of Saturday last, is deserving of the
most serious attention :

" Whereas, we have this day been informed that in the re-
turns of Sales of Barley in the London market, the name of
our firm is inserted as havint sold 2400 quarters of Barley at
495. per quarter ; we do here y make oath that we have never
sold or offered fur sale any Barley whatsoever this season, nor
have we purchased above 1000 quarters at 495. per quarter,
and which we have ourselves consumed in making Malt, and
that with a considerable acquaintance with the sellers and pur-
chasers of Barley at Mark-lane, we know of no other firm of
Ford and Co. to whom such a transaction can apply."

LIBELS.

THE E NG V. TILE MORNING CHRONICLE.

Mr. GURNEY said he had to move the Court
for a criminal information against the Proprietor
of The Morning Chronicle newspaper, for a
series of libels, published in that Journal
against William Kenrick, Esq., a Welsh Judge,
lteco►der of Dover, and a Magistrate for the
County of Surrey. The circumstances took
place in the case of John Franks, a Surrey Free.
holder, who WAS charged with stealing a slab
of elm, value is., for which he was taken
before a Magistrate, and committed for trial,
he remained in Horsemonger-lane gaol several
weeks after which he was conveyed, with other
prisoners, to the Guildford Assizes ; there it ap-
pears he took his trial for the offence, and was
acquitted, in consequence of the absence of a
principal witness.--The Learned Counsel having
detailed the circumstances of the prosecution,
proceeded to read' those statements and com-
ments in the Morning Chronicle respecting the 1
case, which. were a series of libels, published
from the 3d of August until the 24th, which
reflected severely upon the character of Mr.
Kenrick. They accused him of cruel oppression
toward the said John Franks, and the power
that a rich man had over a poor one, &c.

INTEILESTING QUESTIONS.

We are induced to ask them by the following news brought
by the last post from Peru.
Senor D. N. N.—Cotagaita, July 19, 182 t.

On the 14th of this month Colonel Raya and Colonel Don
Felipe Marquiegui with 00 men, at six o'clock in the morn-
ing, surprised General Carratala in Potosi, and taking hint
from his bed in the sight of his troops, carried him off amidst
the fire of both parties, with. the loss of only two men killed
and some wounded ; they also carried off' his two Aide.de-
Camps at the General's request, because they are his brothers-
in-law, that they may accompany his wife. For this action the
officers have been promoted, and the soldiers have received a
present of ten rials per man.
It is said that Brigadier• Vigil has been surprised in Chuui-
zaca with the garrison by the Commandant Lopez Aguilera
has now enriched himself (se ha cebado) in the war, and as it
is affirmed to-day, the first will be united with Castro in La
Pax, taking the rear of General Valdez, who has 2,500 men of
all arms. At Arequipa, Col. Benavtnte, with the whole force,
has refused obedience to the Viceroy, and according to this,
General Olaneta it is thought will also fall out with him.
General Rodil, with all those who accompanied him, has
been killed ; among them Payol, and other officers. There are
varions accounts of this, some saying it was with the whole
division or brigade, and others a small . force . that was in
ambush ; some affirm that it was the troops of Bolivar;
others, the mountaineers of Pasco, who advanced to Guamanga
and Guancavelica. In short I have not seen it; I say what I
have been told. The General who has been taken prisoner ar-
rived to day, conducted by Marquiegui in person, who comes
to take more troops from this place and horses. Now there is
an old King and a new King, as there is an old country and a
new country. They are ringing the bells. I send the news-
puttees that I can get.—(flere is the signature.)

TIIH THEATRE.

COVENT•GARDEN.—One of the most interest-
ing circumstances attendant upon the representa-
tiou of Der Fretschutz on Saturday last, at this
Theatre, was the appearance of the female Pu-
pils of the ROYAL ACADEMY of Music in one of
the Boxes of the Dress-circle. They were ac-
companied by their Governess, Mrs. Wane,
whose attention to the juvenile group evinced
her qualification for the office entrusted to her.
Miss A Diti rte., and others, were of the party, who,
we presume, are Teachers. The fair noviciates
attracted the attention of the audience during the
performance, and, by the order and simplicity of
their manners, formed a very gratifying relief
to the supernatural terrors of the passing
drama. It is not a little creditable to the feel-
ings of the Governors of the Institution that they
afforded this theatrical indulgence to juvenile cu-
riosity as a relaxation from professional studies.
There was a numerous audience, who appeared
to take a stronger interest in the novel sight WP
have mentioned than in all the wonders of en-
chantment and magnificence of scenery.
lIAYMAu season at this convenient
and agreeable Theatre, though apparently very
successful, considering the numerous and elegant
audiences which attended it, has not, it is said,
been profitable to the Manager. The reason as-
signed is, that the salaries of the popular per-
formers were so high as to afford little hope of
pecuniary advantage to the Proprietor. Such an
enterprising liberality in the service of the Public
merited a better fate. We hope, however, that
Report has erred, and that he has been re-
quited by the general success of the season for
his laudable zeal to gratify the audience with the
best performers whom he could obtain. fie not
only indeed engaged the established favourites of
the Public, hut has brought forth several new
candidates whose talents well deserve public: pro-
tection. The performances on Saturday were Tenz-
ing made Eau, and Love in a Village, and both
pieces were so well supported as to excite much
applause. The Theatre, we find, closes this
night, and we hope that when the Proprietor
winds up his accounts he will have no occasion to
regret his adventurous liberality.

DISAPPOINTED LOPE.--On Saturday afternoon
an Inquest was held at the Red Lion, in Union-street, Mile-
end, on the body of Thomas Williamson, aged 26. It ap-
peared that the deceased, who was a managing clerk in a
mercantile house in the City, had paid his addresses to
a .young female whose christian name is " Elizabeth.,,
and to whom he expected to be in a short time united in mar-
riage. Having attended church on Sunday ae'nnight, he, to
his surprise, heard her name in the list of banns, and given out,
for the last time, coupled with a more favoured swain. Rage
took possession of his mind ; he hurried home to his lodging,
communicated what lie had heard to his landlady, and fre-
quently exclaimed—" Oh, Elizabeth, how could you serve
me so P" He became more calm towards evening, but the next
morning when his door was opened he was found dead and
cold, and a laudanum bottle standing beside his bed. The fol-
lowing note was also found on his dressing table :—" Little
does my dear Elizabeth think that she has filled the fatal draught
for me; but I freely forgive her, and I hope God and the world
will forgive me." 'Verdict, " Insanity.'
DEATH BY FRP:MT.—AD Inquest was held at
the Town-house, Mile-End-road, on the body of a woman,
named Brown. On last Wednesday, a trotting match for fifty
ftovereigns took place on the Essex road, between two
butchers. The starting post was opposite the deceas-
ed's door, and she being - apprehensive from the noise that
one of her children was run over, hastened into the street, and
exclaiming, " Oh, my child, my child!" fell a corpse. The
Jury returned that...she died a natural death, accelerated by
fright.

[MORNING HERALD.]

Persona wlio have visited France, and indeed
all parts of the European continent but one, re-
turn with au unfortunate, and, we fear, too well-
founded impression of the superior honesty of the
natives of those countries over those of their own.

This is a galling and unwelcome truth ; highly
deserving of investigation ; but which it is diffi-
cult indeed to account for. That a nation boast-

ing of its civilization, of its religion and morals,
should be most wanting in that which is the
foundation and corner-stone of them all, is a
mortifying and extraordinary solecism, which
calls for our minutest attention and inquiry.—
It is in vain to seek a remedy where the cause
is in obscurity ; which is decidedly the case here.
In France the honesty of all classes, and more
especially that of the lowest is proverbial ; while
in England one half of the community may be al-
most said to prey upon the other. In France
you may live without locks or bolts—in England
you are not protected by them. In France you
may leave your purse or other property about, or
you may scatter your luggage on the road ; the
whole is safe from deprechttion, or if lost,ks sure
to be returned to you. luEngland, on the contrary,
you have to watch your pockets wherever you
