tIOI3 INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTHWARK, OCT. 18.—We have had a very
indifferent supply (as respects colour or quality)
of pockets the last few days, which has caused fiva
samples to be in quick demand, and at higher
prices—low and brown pockets, of which there
are a great many, are dull sale. Bags, if really
good and well managed are much in request.

THE MBA-um—The Opera of Love in a Vil-
lage, last night, at Covent-Garden Theatre, pre-
sented Miss TUBE to the Public in the part of
Rosetta. Her previous efforts might well prepare
them to expect charming singing and unaffected
acting. Rosetta requires more vivacity- and hu-
mour than were necessary on former occasions,
but she plainly *hewed that tier powers are not
confined to the pensive and sentimental. She was
playful and interesting throughout. PHILIPPI
Was easy and gentlemanly in Young Meadows.—
EMERY in Hodge, and TaYLoa in Hawthorn, were
respectively effective, and FAWCETT gave the
Justice with suitable humour. The Opera was
well attended and much applauded.

MADAMI CATALANI.-"-Tile King of PIRISSIA bas
addressed the following note to Aladatne CATA-
LAN' :

All Europe pays homage to the perfection of your talents,
bat you elevate and ennoble them still more by the good use
you know how to make of them. This is not the first time that
you have devoted the riches of your cot to the cOnsolation of
suffering humanity, and you have ever been anxious to afford
fresh cause for honourable remembrance.

" I am the first to thank you for it; and I congratulate
myself in being enabled to concur in your good word, by of-
fering the church of the garrison for your spiritual concert,
where the Public of my Capital had once before the pleasure of
hearing you. 1 have iii consequence issued my orders to the
Government of the city.
" Berlin, Sept. " FREDERICK WILLIAM."

lowed to come down the river."

" .BISHOP WEARMOUTI!, OCT. 16.—The sailors
of this port have stopped for wages. They at

a compromise i have no doubt will take place."
" NEWCASTLE, OCT. 16.—1 believe some en-
deavours will be made on Monday to get the
keelcrs to work ; 1 tear it will not be effected.—
The spouts (used in throwing the coals into ves-
sels) are at work,, protected by the military ;
about three or four dragoons at each staith

SHOOTING MATCH FOR ONE HUNDRED GUI-
NEAS.—A great sporting match took place on
Monday between Captain Thornhill, one of the
best shots in Hampshire, and Strong, the keeper
to J. A. Thorn, Esq. of Melbourne Manor, Oxon,
who should bag the greatest number of pheasants,
hares, and partridges, by four o'clock in the af-
ternoon. They began two miles from Watford,
the Captain taking his course towards \Vycomb,
and Strong a course bet‘veen Barnet and St. Al-
ban's. It was a challenge of the Captain's
against all England, taken up by Mr. Thorn pro-
ducing a man. The keeper bagged nine hares,
seven pheasants, and eleven partridges, and Cap-
tain Thornhill killed sixteen partridges, five phea-
sants, and six hares, making a tie. The parties
had each a pony and a brace of dogs. They
shoot again on Thursday in Becks for double the
sum.

An urn, containing silver and copper coins of
the Roman Emperors Domitian, Augustus, and
Adrian, was found last week by a man employed
on the basin of the canal at Chichester, which
he has since sold to the virtuosi of that neigh-
bourhood for about 10/.

The following remarkable circumstance occur-
red last week on Extnoor forest :—Two kites
were found dead in a gin, which had been baited
with a blackbird. The speed and eagerness with
which these birds sought their prey most have
occasioned their entering the snare, and melting
their destruction at the same instant.

PROVINCIAL JOUIINALS.

From The Newcastle Courant of Saturday last.]

Parliament is to meet on the 23d of next
month, to enquire into the cause of the present
alarming situation of domestic affairs. The Pro-
clamation calling it together appeared in Tues-
day's Gazette. In the mean time the Radicals
are met by declarations of attachment to the
Constitution, which are almost everywhere sign-
ing by those who disapprove and dread their prin-
ciples ; and this measure is again met in many
places by a system of terror. It was the sugges-
tion of the political weathercock Cobbett, that
what he called the " People's Memorandum
Book," should be opened, i. e. that a proseripiion
list should be made of all those whom the de-
magogues consider as enemies of liberty. As.
sassination is so abhorrent to the generous
nature of Englishmen, that the wicked sug-
gestion was scar:ely noticed at the time,
but it has been asserted that such a book
has been opened. in some places. It is more cer-
tain that the plan of proscribing ail dealings with
those who are inimical to their proceedings, is
extensively acted upon to the utter ruin of many
poor shopkeepers and others, who are thus
forced as it were into their ranks. Prom the in-
difference, and even levity with which the subject
is treated by some of the country Gentlemen, it
is evident they are nut aware of its extent and
importance. We must do Messrs. Wooler and
Carlile the justice to say they are no hypocrites
they veil none of their designs, and it is only
necessary to look into their publications to be
acquainted WITH TIIEIR ULTIMATE AIM 3. These,
however, maybe called the Gentry of the democra-
tic Press, their weekly publications being 2d. each,
while there area cheaper fry at lid. and even hi.
each, Whose object is precisely the same, viz.
to write down all the establishments of the coun-
try, and first the Bible, as the pillar of Chris-
tian society. The immense circulation of these
small tracts renders theni very lucrative to their
authors., who know the heaviest punishment that
the law can award against them, even if a verdict
should be obtained, and brave it, as their writing
can he as well carried on in prison as out of it.—
Cobbett in Newgate published two Registers in the
week—out of it but one. Carlile told the Lord
Mayor of London, when he refused Wooler's
bail, on the ground of his not being a house-
keeper in the city, that his (Wooler's) income WWI
equal to the Lord Mayor's own I This gentle-
man was recently a journeyman printer. With-
out designing to advance the sale of these
publications, we venture to recommend the
country gentlemen to obtain by some means,
a sight of any one of them, and they will gain some
idea of what is going on, through the circulation oi
perhaps hundreds of thousands among the populat'xn
of the Country. The means of counteraction it ;s not
for its to point out ; but it is clear it ervirnot be
done without the Gentry are on tlie;r estates,
to encourage the loyal, fix the wavering,
reason with the deluded, and retort; the illiberal
and exclusive principles of. the ;ticorrigible re-
formers upon themselves ; to amvliorate tire con-
dition of the poor as tar as prveticable, by find-
ing them employment, even at the sacrifice of
some property, it that seas be called a sacrifice
which may preserve the remainder.
