SOUTH AMERICA.

The following is an extract of a letter received
yesterday by the Brazil packet :----
" RIO DE JANEIRO, JULY 23.—A few days
ago, the private Secretary of the English Minister,
who lately resided here, arrived from Lima,
which place he left on the Ist May, and 'haunt,
the head-quarters of the Chilian army, on the 3d.
He came by sea from Valparaiso, and travelled
from thence across the Continent to Buenos

Ayres, where he again took shipping for this
place. When he left Lima, the American frigate
General BrOW2I was lying at Callao, and was to
sail about the middle of May. The ex-Viceroy,
PEZUELA, had engaged a passage in her. LA
SERNA, the new Viceroy, possessed the- general
confidence, and owing to his vigorous measures
the prospects of the country are much altered
for the better. During the visit of Sir Tiro:A.4s
lIAP.DY to Callao, he passed four or five days in
Lima, during which he had frequent conferences
with the Viceroy, and it is said that the conse-
quence was a much higher idea than before of the
resources of that capital, and of the attachment
of the people to Spain. When he returned to
Valparaiso he declared to the. merchants there
his determination not to recognize Lord COCH-
RANE'S blockade. [A letter received yesterday
at Lloyd's states, that the British commander
has required the immediate liberation of the three
English vessels detained at Valparaiso, or other-
wise declares that he would take possession of
them.] Lord COCHRANE has surprised Arica,
where he landed with five hundred men,
and delivered up the place to the pillage of

his followers. He found in the port four vessels,
which also fell into his hands. Their names are

—the Lord Cathcart, Columbia, Joseph, and
Roberts. The two first, however, had safely
landed their cargoes before he seized them.
The Independent Army ' lu Peru was not
in a prosperous state when our informant visit-
ed its head-quarters at lluaura. San Martin
had sailed from the coast with a detachment of
1,000 men, but its destination was then unknown.

(This is the expedition which the accounts lately
receive] by way of Jamaica state at 4,000 men ;
and add, that a total defeat was sustained by
them at Chorillas.) The remainder of his force
continued at lluaura, under the command of
Las Ileras. They are described to have been in
a very bad condition, the greater part of the
men sick and in want of necessaries of every
kind. To add to the distress of their situation,
_ .

heir communication with Arenales at Pisco was

in danger of Leing cut off, by a movement of the
Spanish troops under the command of General
VALDEs and IticcA.FoßT.—The country lying be-
tween Buenos Ayres and Chili is infested to
such a degree by the Montoneros, that it is ren-
dered extremely dangerous. to travellers, as i❑
their search of plunder, they do not very nicely
discriminate in its objects. The gentleman
above-mentioned was compelled to travel only
by night, and concealed himself during the day,
by which means he passed through in safety, but
very few travellers venture to make the same ex-
periment."

POETRY:

THE RUINS OF PCESTUM;
An Oxford Prize Poem.lB2l.
'Mid the deep silence df die pathless wild,
Where kindlier nature once profusely smiled,
The eternal temples stand—untold their age,
Untraced their annals in the historic page,
All that around them stood now far away,
Singlt' in ruin, mighty in decay !
Between the mountains and the azure main,
They claim the empire of the lonely plain ;
In solemn beauty through the clear blue light
The Doric columns rear their massive height-
Emblems of strength untamed—yet conquering Time
Has mellowed half the sternness of their prime,
And bade the lichen and the ruins lone
Embrown with darker tints the vivid Stone ;
Each channel'd pillar of the fane appears
Unspoil'd, yet soften'd by consuming yearS,
So calmly awful,- so serenely fair,
The gaier's heart still mutely worships there.
Not always thus—When beam'd beneath the day
No fairer scene than Pcestum's lovely bay,
When her light soil bore fruit of every hue,
And twice each year her far-famed roses blew ;
While bards her blooming honours loved to sing,
And Tuscan zephyrs fanned tile eternal spring.
Proud in her port the Tyrians moored their fleets,
And health and commerce filled her peopled streets.
While here the rescued mariner adored
The sea's dread sovereign, Posidonia's lord,
With votive tablets decked yon hallowed walls,
Or sued for justice in her ample halls.
There stood on high the white,robed flamen—there •
The opening portal poured the choral prayer,
While to the o'er-arching Heaven swell'd full the sound,
And incense blaz'd, and myriads knelt around.
'Tis past—the echoes of 'the plain are mute,
E'en to the herdman's call and shepherd's flute.
The toils of art, the charms of nature fail,
And death triumphant rides the tainted gale ;
From the lone spot the trembling peasants haste;
A wild the garden, and the town a waste.
But these are still the same—al ice they mock
The invader's menace, and the tempest's shock.

Such, ere the ivorldlad bowed to Caesar's thrdne,
Ere yet proud Rome's all-conquering name was known,
They stood : and fleeting centuries in vain
Have poured their fury o'er the enduring fane.
Such long shall stand, proud relics of a clime.
'Where man was glorious, and his works sublime;
While in the progress of their long decay,
Thrones sink to dust, and nations pass away.

EXTEMPORE GRACE.
(sail) TAINAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY BURNS.)
Some have meat, but cannot eat,
And some would eat that want it;
But we have meat, and we can eat,
And so the Lord be thanket.

same manner as it was fOrined by the monarchs
who. founded it, and had been gradually adopted-)
by all those who were convinced of its evident,'

employed for the punishment of those who laugh
to scorn national law and private morals, and for
the prevention of similar offences for the future.
We have no doubt that the attention of the Go-
vernment will be at once directed to this object.
With -respect to our occupying the Spanik,4
territory adjoining our limits, Without the-noir"
sent of Spain, as 4ecommended• by tlt New 12-c-
-leans paper, that is another question, dividing•
itself into two—the first of right, the second of
necessity. It is hardly ..advisable, having just
settled our old disputes with Spain, to begin al-
ready to prepare materials for new ones—not t 6
speak of the considerations of public law in-
volved in this matter. If we are to take posses-
sion of territory adjoining us whenever it be-
comes a harbour for smugglers and fugitives from"
justice, there Would be no end of our occutpatil
of territory, till we got the whole Continent to
ourselves, the north Pole at one extremity, in't
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans washing the
shores all round-besides. On this principle, we
should long ago have " occupied" the Canao'.,
on the . North, and the West India Islands °ll
the South. No, no, this will not do. Seize what
we might, we should yet
.leave something
grasped. It is inconvenient to have territol.
contiguous to us belonging to others; but to eit"
tend our limits in thO hope of avoiding it, %Wla,
only be to exchange one line for another ;
should have contiguous territory still. AVe are'
therefore, perfectly,
,satisfied with the limits
have, and hope
.never .to see them trans4revieu;
unless, by an amicable understanding with our
neighbour, to chastise those whom she cannat
controul, or in actual pursuit of violators of the
laws of nations. It only requires the means at
the disposal
.of the Government to be emploYe.!
to remedy all the evils which this country "
likely to suffer from that quarter.

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.

SUDDEN DEAtit.—A.Female, aged upwards
of seventy years, has • resided for a considerable
time in a small house atCambridge-heath,ilackney-
road. She kept no servants, associated with none
of her neig-hbeurS, and the only inmate 'was a fa-
vourite cat. Her doors and windows were.con-
stantly kept secured, and the signal of the milk-
man, or any one applying for admission, was
throwing a stone against the door or window.
A neighbour's daughter was in the habit of going
every
.morning to procure her water, but on Mon-
day, after repeated signals, she could get no en-
trance. The girl went for her mother,and with a dia-
mond ring they cut a pane of glass, got admission,
and proceeded upstairs. There they-found the
old lady, by the side of. her bed, with her clothes
on, and a small piece of cat's meat in her hand.
They soon discovered that she was dead. It in
supposed she died of an apoplexy, as no marks of
violence appeared, nor .was any of the property
disturbed. From the abstemious manner of herliv-
ing, it was supposed her circumstances were very
limited, but on examining her drawers, S.tock Re-
ceipts .and Government ,Securities were found to
the amount of near One Hundred ThOnsand
Pounds; She always declared she would 'make
no 'Will, for " the KING" should have- all her
money. Every search has been made, but :no
will found. 'Her sister died a,few years ago and
left her 7,0001. which it .now seems she at first
declined, saying she was not in want of money.
No relative has yet appeared : She was a maiden
lady, and her name SARAH BOND.---(.E.:CC/li7lg

EAST INDIA HOUSE.

Yesterday a Quarterly General Court of Proprietors was held
at the East India Honke, for the consideration of a variety of
business.

When the CHAirtstAN took his seat, the Secretary proceed-
ed to read the minutes of the last Court, and also the titles of
certain papers relating to•the Seperannuation List, and other
details connected with the Company's service.
The Superannuation List was read by desire of Ur. R.
Jackson.

Mr. Ilionic complained of the impossibility of understanding
the nature of t'.e public business, when cursor►ly read in Court,
and suggested the propriety of documents of importance being
pririted for the use of the proprietors.
The CriarrtmAx replied, that such an expenditure was un-
necessary, as all their papers of importance were mostly printed
when laid before- the House of Commons : they were, besides,
at all times accessible for any proprietor who thought proper to
refer to any documents.
Mr. HumE said that the by-law required the presentation of
all papers to that Court at their next meeting after such papers
were laid before Parliament ; but the House of Corrimons did
not always print such papers.
A TROTH IE T OIL suggested that it would be desirable to have
the papers left in the proprietors' room, with an index of easy
reference.

The CITAIIIMAN said that a book, containing these papers,
and an index, was always kept, and easy of access ; not, how-
ever in the proprietors' room, for the document being a valu-
able record was carefully kept, but any proprietor could have
access to it.

and of disorderly conduct, by which he had been greatly
annoyed.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at half past three
o'clock ; immediately after which he was sum-
moned to the House of Lords, to hear the Royal
Assent given by Commission to several Bills. On
his return he informed the House of the names
of the Bills to which the Royal Assent had been
given, (for which see Lords report.)
NEW WRITS.
On the motion of Mr. ARBUTHNOT, a new writ

wag ordered to be issued for the election of a

Esq. who has accepted the office of Judge of
the Insolvent Court in Ireland.—A new writ
was also ordered to be issued for the elec-
tion of a Burgess to serve in Parliament for the
Borough of Cockermouth, in the room of the
Right Hon. J. Beckett, who has accepted the

ALLEGED ERRORSzx REPORTS OF TiiE DEBATES.
Mr. BENNETT wished to take that opportunity
of correcting a misrepresentation which had gone
abroad respecting what he had said on a former
occasion, on the subject of the Stamp Duties.
lie was made to say in some of the public papers,
that Mr. Grierson of the Stamp Office, had re-
ceived more fur proclamations than he had given
credit to Government for. He said no such
thing. What he did say was, that there was
a deficiency in the returns made by that gentle-
man, owing, he presumed, to a deficiency in the
order for making the return. Ile was the more
anxious to correct this, as he understood that the
mistake had given pain to the individual in
question.

Mr. BROUGHAM said, he wished also to take
that opportunity of correcting a mistake which
had been made in the speech of the lion. Mem-
ber for Renfrewshire) respecting the establish-

ment of Mr. Owen, of Lanark. -That which was

alluded to as a letter signed by six clergymen
was, in fact, a regular certificate of a Committee
from the Clergy of the county who had viewed

ie establishment. It had been stated to the

public also, that Mr. Owen's Plan was opposed
to machinery ; now the fah was, that Mr. Owen's
plan, be it right or wrong, depended entirely on
a more extensive introduction of machinery.
GRANT TO THE DUKE OF CLARENCE.

Family) was brought by two of the Judges,
dressed in the robes they wear in term.

(Lord 13.'s) attachment to abuses ; it was matter
of indifference to him what the Hon. Member
thought, and he should dismiss that part of the
subject, only obsm.ying, that those who were ac-
quainted with his (Lord B.'s) character, would, not
believe that which had in no very decorous manner
been imputed to him. lle.cou Id not allow those im-
putations thrown out against his relation the Lord
President Hope to pass unanswered. The Hon.
Member had talked about matters of whicl► he
knew but little—of which, in fact, no Member
in that. House knew any thing.—( A laugh.)—
The Hon. Member might
.conscientiously think
that abuses existed in Scotland, and wish to re-
form them ; but was it fair to make such an at-
tack upon the character of an individual upon the
last day of a Session ? If l►e (Mr. Hume) had
waited until next Session, l►e (Lord Binning)
I-mild have undertaken to have given him a
most satisfactory answer. There was not any
man who knew the Lord President Hope who
did not admire and respect him, both in public
and private. it might be that there were per- •
sons who had drawn down the just indignation
of the Court of Session upon them, and who,
possessing little character, might arm Members
of Parliament to blacken tl►e characters of indi-
viduals ; but this was no argument that the per-
sons so accused were guilty.
On the question that the Petition be printed,
the Gallery was cleared for a division, but no
division took place. We understand that the
motion for printing the Petition was withdrawn.

DEATH FROM FRIGHT.

CO-PiONER'SINQUEST.—An Inquisition was taken
on Monday evening before THOS. STIRLING, Esq.
on Nse w of the body of Richard Foster.
William Lee, sworn.—l lire at No. 19, Span's-buildings,
Pancras-place, and am a cabinet maker. I was acquainted
with :the deceased ; he was between 40 and 45 years &age; was
a martieel man, but had no children. Between five and six
°Va& yesterday evening I was at work at Mr. Cut itt's,
builder, in. Gray's-inn-lane ; I was standing at my bench, and
the deceased was standing near me; I was alarmed at a loud
explosion ,which. took place at about two var.'s from the place
where I stood; .1 turned round and saw nothing but a large
body of flame and sma,e. The deceased and myself ran eat of
the way; but after our finest alarm had subsided, we returned,
and met Frederick Collins, a lad about 18 years of age, all on
if re ; he ran past us• into the tyard, and we proceeded towards
ifv.e spot where the accident happened, and there found
Coseph Martin, a boy .12 years of age, lying on the floor
alLict flames. The deceased tcek hold of him and pulled
him about four yards out of -the way, and laid him at my
• ,feet. I took a blanket and rolled him tnit, and then went to
;the cistern to procure some water to throw over the fire. In ten
Minutes I returned and found the deceased lying on his back on
the floor near Martin. He was quite insensible, and I be-
lieve dead. I ordered him to be removed into an adjoining room,
and surgeon Macdonnell, whowas sent for, came and attempted
Waked him, but he gave on/y,alaw drops of blood; I want to
'Assist in extinguishing the fire, And did not see him aliye ever
-after. The deceased was not in the least burned, nor did he
_receive the least bodily injury ; and I suppose his death was
caused from the fright or ai,ritation he was in • he was subject to
1 A cough, and frequently complained of a bad in his chest.
,The accident was caused by making French polish, a composi-
tion of spirits of wine, &c., for the.purpose of polishing furni-
i Uwe : it was in a large bottle well corked,
.aridtieddown with a
string; it was warming in a copper of hot water, and I suppose.
that, as Collins was shaking it, he struck it against the iron;
pietke and, broke it ; and it being inflammable it caught fire. I
newer considered it dangerous to make, for it had no communi-
cation with fire, except by accident. Collins and Martin were.
dreadfully burned, and carried to St. Bartholomew's Hospital,
where they both died yesterday morning.
James Macdonnell, of Acton-street, surgeon, sworn—l opened`
the body, and found the intestines in a healthy state, except the
left lobe of_ ;the lungs, which was very much inflamed ; the
head I also opened, and found in a healthy state. Ido not
consider the inflammation on the lungs as the immediate cause
of his death, which I attribute:to a sudden spasm of theheart,,
caused by the agitation or fright:he was thrown into. The Jl/17'
consulted a short time, and returned a isrdief--Dfe4 from the
visitation of Clod.

CORONATION.

Mr. BATHURST presented a Petition from the
Prisoners in the King's Bench Prison, setting
forth that the different Prisous were filled with
Prisoners who could not immediately obtain re-
lief under the Insolvent Debtors' Bill, and pray-
ing that measures might be taken to enable them
to partake in the general rejoicings on the occa-
sion of the Coronation of his Majesty. They
humbly hoped that the House would address the
Crown on this subject, or pass a Lill for their
Relief, to open their prison doors awl set the
captives free.—Ordered to lie on the table.
POLITICAL OFFENDERS.
_ _

Mr. llonnousk: wished to—take this opportu-
nity of saying a few words upon a hint which
had been thrown out to Ministers, by a Gallant
Friend of his, a few evenings ago. lie was
anxious, as far as in his power, to strengthen
what had then been recommended to them, and

he trusted that what he said would be taken in
good part. There was, at this moment, a num-
ber of persons in prison for political offences—
and he was sure, that, on the approaching Coro-
nation, Ministers might, with the greatest pro-
priety, advise the Crown to mitigate the punish-
ment of those individuals. One of the indivi-
duals now in 'prison was descended From an an-
cient family ; and he believed that none of the

persons in prison had been before guilty of any
political crime. With respect to thaicase of Mr.
11. Hunt, there was not an individual in the coun-
try who did not think that the punishment to
which he was sentenced had been directed against

IRELAND.

, It having been recently: stated in several of
the English. prints, as one of the causes which
probably would s prevent the fulfilment or hit.
MAJESTY'S gracious intention of visiting this
country, " that the Castle of Dublin was
.not in
a situation fit to .receive him, as it had nothing .
done to it since the Lord bientenancy. Of the
Duke of Rutland," we consider it our ditty, 'as
soon as possible, to correct this erroneous state 7
ment, since we can with truth assert, that none .
of the public edifices of this city have undergone
more useftil as well as permanent alterations and
improvements, within the last twenty years, -
than the Castle of, Dublin. We may, without
any presumption, say, that. the. Castle of Dublin
is at present not only a-suitable residence hit.:
the representative of Majesty, but also such, a
one as is, and we trust will be considered, not?
altogether undeserving.of being honoured by the
presence of Royalty itself.—z( Dublin Freemttn's
Journal, May 12.) ,
A HIGHWAY ROBBER SHOT.—..OII Saturday last
two ladies proceeded in a sociable from Fermoy,
accompanied by a man-servant, 'to pay a visit-to
a neighbouring family ; When about midway to
Kilworth, they were stopped by a single -footpad, .
Who robbed
_them of a gold watch and what.
money they had about them, with-it the servant
being able to afford them any assistance. A short
time afterwards the -agent of John Hyde, of
Castle Hyde, Esq. MY., was also stopped and
robbed by the same fellow. When Mr. Finlay
(the agent) got off, he hastened' into Kilworth,
made known the particulars of. these daring rob-.
beries, and described the fellow-most particularly,
which induced Mr. Boyce, ,a gentlemah of that,
place, to ride, off immediately in pursuit of him.
He shortly came in sight of a man who he con-
ceived answered •the description—his suspicions:
were well founded ; for, on inquiry, he was iden-
tified by a lad who saw him commit the rob 7
beries. Mr. Boyce rode up, and seeing him
armed, called out to -him to surrender—the vil=
lain, who took up his position in a gap, instantly
presented at Mr. 8., and when in the act of pull-.
ing the trigger, received • that gentleman's fire,'
and was killed on the spot. The body was
brought into Fermoy, and was recognised to be
that of a quarryman named Adams, who resided
there.—An inquest was held on Sunday by six
Magistrates,. in the absence of .a Coroner, and a
verdict accordingly _returned.

It is a singular circumstance, that during the
last few years the parish officer of Overton, in Flint-
shire, had not a single sixpence to pay. for me-
dical or surgical attendance, or for medicine on
account of the- poor.
