CITY or LONDON TREISS SOCIETY.

The above Institution, whose merits are so
well known to every resident in the Metropolis, celebrated its
nineteenth Anniversary at die Albion Tavern. On the request
I
of Mr. Alderman ATK
NS, the President, the.
,Lord Mayor
had kindly consented to preside on the occasion, and at half-
past five o'clock his Lordship arrived at the appointed place._.
After dinner Non NoUs Dentine was sung by Messrs. Broad-
hurst, Pyne, and " The King.'. '" The Duke
of York," " The Duke of Cambridge," and " The Duke of
Saxe Coburg," were proposed and drank.
The Loan MAYOR proposed "The City of London Truss
Society." The benefits conferred by the charitable dints of
the Members composing this SoCiety had been productive of in.
calculable advantage to the community, in restoring many use.
ful individuals to that mode of business to which they had been
bred, but from which their unfortunate bodily afflictions had
driven them. In the last year, no less than 3,970 patients had
been relieved by the Society. This, he was convinced, would
be a spur to their future efforts, and their success would be
commensurate.

Alderman ATltzws then proposed, the "Health of the
Chairman." . • '
'The LORD MAYOR. returned thanks, and said, that, if they
wished to show hint respect, they would best do so by contri.
tutting generously to the Institution.
" The Officers of the Society" were then drank, and the
company separated.
It is but Justice to the Proprietor of the Albion to observe,
that the dinner and wine were in quality excellent, and served
in a style highly creditable to his exertions.

AMERICAN PAPERS.

Fnord PErtu.—ry the arrival at New York, of the brig
Merope, Captain Sk lady, which left Chorillos on the 28th of
August, the following information his been received :--
t.eneral Rodil had still possession of the Castles or Callao.
Sir Murray Maxwell, anti Captain Brown, of the British fri-
gates Brighton and Tartar, went from Chorillos to Callao at the
solicitation, it wan said, of the Peruvian Government, to ofibr
to'the Spanish Governor a safe escort on board of and passage
to Europe in the Tartar frigate, with all his suite, anti a gua-
rantee that the garrison should be allowed the same terms as
were stipulated in the capitulation by General Canterac, at
Ayacucho.
General Radii, however, refused any mediation, and intl.
mated to the British Commanders that it was his intention to.
hold as long as had a shot to tire. There was every ap-
pearance of plenty in the Castle, even to fresh stock and ve-
getables. A constant fire was kept up between the Castle and
the entrenchments of the Patriots.
The frigate United States, COTO. Hull, was lying in Chore-
los ; officers and crew all well. The Dolphin, G apt. Percival,
had been dispatched to the Mulgrove Islands, to look after the
mutineers of the ship Globe. The Peacock was daily expected
at Chorillos from windward.

FATAL DUEL-DEATH OF MR. MC.

We received this morning a letter from Dublin, announcing the
death of Mr. Bate, the Irish Barrister, in a duel, under the fol-
lowing circumstances :—Mr. Brie was awaiting the arrival
of the Cork mail at the coach-office, in Dublin, when
intelligence was received that Mr. Hutchinson had cbtained
a majority over Mr. Callaghan, the rival candidate for the city of Cork.
Mr. Brie used some expressions which were deemed offensive by
a Mr. Hayes, a cousin of Mr. Callaghan, who was present
at the time—and a duel was the consequence, in which Mr.
Brie was killed. A Coroner's Inquest was sitting on the
body of the unfortunate gentleman when our Correspondent's
letter was written.

MANCHESTER-TUESDAY EVENING, DEC. 26.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
We have again had a very fair demand in our market for
goods, and the appearance of trade generally is much more
encouraging than it was some time since. Velveteens for
exportation continue to be much sought after, and con-
siderable sales have been effected, and at prices something
better than heretofore. We have also had a very steady
enquiry from the country buyers, and we believe a good
fair business has ,been done in prints, strong calicos, and
shillings; we cannot, however, quote any improvement in
prices. 'Water Twist of the first quality, from numbers ten
to thirty-four, is still in good request and sells freely ; but
for the second article of these numbers the deMand has
been very limited. In Cotton there has been but little
doing, and prices may be considered stationary.

TIANNISTER'S TRIAL. SCENE BEFOP.TI GAR-.
RICK.

"1 was shows into his dressing room, when be ifasslefore the
glass preparing to shave--a white night-cap covered his forehead
—his chin and cheeks were enveloped in soap-suds--a razor-cloth
was placed upon his left shOulder, and he turned '
and smoothed
the shining blade with so much dexteiity, that I longed for a
beard, to imitate his incomparable method of handling the razor.
"gEh ! well—what young man—so--eh !. You are still for
the stage? -Well, now, what character do you, shOuld you like

" I should like to attempt Hamlet, Sir!'
" Eh ! what Hamlet the Dane ? Zeunds ! that's a bold—a

—Have you studied the part?'---' I have, Sie—' Well, don't
mind my shaving. Speak your speech, the speech to the Ghost
—I can tear you. Come, let's have a roll and a tumble.'—
(A favourite phrase of his, often used to express a probationary
specimen.)
" After a few hums and haws, and a disposing of my hair, so
that it might stand on end, like quills upon the:fretful porcupine,'
1 supposed my father's ghost before• me, arm's cap-a-pie,' and
off I started.

'Angels and ministers of grace defend us ! [Hs wiped the razor.
Be thou a spirit of health, or goblin daron'd ! [Re strapped it.
Bring with thee airs from heav'n, or blasts from hell !
[He shaved on.

Thou com'st in such a questionable shape,
That I will speak to thee. I'll call thee. Hamlet !
King, Father, Royal Dane !—O, answer me,
Let ins not burst iu ignorance [He lathered again.
• _

_
I concluded with the usual,
Say, why is this? wherefore? wilat should we do ?'
but still continued in my attitude, expecting the praise due to an
exhibition, which I was booby enough to fancy was only to be
equalled by himself. But, to my eternal mortification, he turned
quick upon tue, brandished the razor in his hand, and thrusting
his half-shaved face close up to mine, he made Inch horrible
mouths at me, that I thought be was seized with insanity, and 1
showed more natural symptoms of being frightened at him, than
at my father's ghost. Angels and ministers! yaw ! whaw !
maw !' However, I soon perceived my vanity by his ridicule..
He finished shaving, put on his wig, and, with a smile of good
nature, he took me by the hand. Come,' said be, young
gentleman,—eh, let us see now what we can do.' He spoke the
speech—how he spoke it, those who have heard him never ciin
forget. ' There, said he, young gentleman ;7, and when you
try that speech again, give it more passion, and less mouth.' "

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

A new Melodrama, under the sanguinary baptismal appellative
of the Murdered Guest, was very appropriately murdered last
►tight, for the first time, at this theatre. The subject is well
known to the public, through the medium of that gowsipping little
miscellany " Percy. Anecdotes," and turns upon the story of a
gentleman who was found murdered at an inn, with the landlord
(who, it appears, was innocent of the act, though not of the in-
tention) standing beside him. Accordingly we have a regular
trial scene ; to wit, an indictment and conviction, at which a
magistrate—he should have been a real Surrey one—presides with
infinite credit to the quorum.

Mr. Cooper was the murderer of the evening, Mrs.
West, his " first love," and we hope his last, for however
exemplary this Gentleman may be in more common-place charac-
ters, he is perfectly nauseating as a lover ; in the first place by
being as stiff and unbending as the Hyde-park Achilles; and
secondly, by indulging in the use of a thick black wig ; destruction
to all sentiment, and thirdly by making use only of one arm (and
that the wrong one), instead of dividing his favours equally be-
tween the two, with which it has pleased Nature to bless him.
The rest of the characters were well supported, but the piece itself
presenting but few opportunities; they had no chance of impressing
themselves favourably on the audience. The house we were glad
to perceive, was crowded.

A STROLLING PLAYER'S BILL.

(From Booden's life of Mrs. Siddons. )
" At the old Theatre in East Grlnetead, on Saturday, May,
1768, will be represented (by particular desire, and for the benefit
of Mrs. P.) the deep and affecting tragedy of Theodosius, or the
Force of Love, with magnificent scenes, dresses, &c.
" Varanes by Mr. P., who will strive, as far as possible, to
support the character of this fiery Persian Prince, in which. he
was so much admired and applauded at Hastings, Arundel, Pat-
worth, Midworth, Lewes, fee.
" Theodosius by a young gentleman from the University of
Oxford, who never appeared on any stage.
• "" Athenais by Mrs. P. Though her present condition will not
permit her to wait on gentlemen and ladle* out of the town with
tickets, she hopes, as on former occasions, for their liberality and
support.
‘, Nothing in Italy can exceed the altar in the first scene of the
play. Nevertheless ehould any of the nobility or gentry wish to
see it ornamented with flowers, the bearer will bring away as
many as they eheose to favour him with.
" As the coronation of Athenais, to be introduced in the fifth
act, contains a number of personages, more than sufficient to fill
all the dressing rooms, Ike. it is hoped no gentlemen and ladies
will be offended at being refused admission behind the scenes.
" N.B. The great yard-dog, that made so tnneh noise on
Thursday night, during the last act of Kitty Richard the Third,
will be sent to a neighbour's over the way ; and on account of
the prodigious deMands for places, part of the stable will be laid
into the boxes on one side, and the granary open for the name
purpose on the other. " Vivat Rex."

It seems to be of great importance, that till the next

labouring classes of the community, by many of whom oats
are almost universally preferred to burley, and by some
even to wheat.. Batley, on the other hand, is the tom- •
mon article of food for horses all Over the Continent, and
during the ltutt"war, more espeoially in the winter of 1813
suit 1814, the British cavalry went through all the fatigue
.of a campaign, living on that food. Indeed, the eaVaLty
mat artillery 'horses, when supplied with barley, got only
Mits., while they get 121bs. of oats, the barley being
vonsiderad;, in that proportion, more nutritive than oats,
owitYr to the smaller. quantity of husk.
The crop of oats, last *harvest, having failed in minx
places„.that grain is becoming difficult to purchase, and the
prices are increasing. If horses, however, could be Main.
tamed equally well with barley, or even if a proportion of it
;vere used es their food, it would tend greatly. to reduce
the price of oats to the labourer;---and he would not be
under the necessity of changing his usual food, and of hav-
ing recoittli to wheat, which would greatly increase the de-
otand for, and the price of, Mat article.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Ocr. 25.

John Belt, James Riley, Win. Homerstone, and Wns: Stoker,
were indicted for assaulting George Andrews. It appeared that
the prosecutor was sent to an auction by his master to purchase
some bricks; but having purchased a wrong lot, his master, as
soon as he learntsl what he bad done, bestowed a hearty kick upon
a certain part of his person for his pains, and went him back to the
sale-room to endeavour to rectify his mistake. As soon, how-
ever, as addressing the auctioneer, he made known his luckless
blunder, a general laugh pervaded the room, and a number of
persons, amongst whom were the defendants, described as belong-
ing to a society called " the knock-outs," got around him, and so
completely begrimed his face with soot, that no part of his coun-
tenance was recognizable to his nearest friends, save just so much
of his nose as bad been held while the ceremony of japanning was

upon him. - -
Mr. 'Pltrates baying called witnesses who proved these facts,
Mr. ALLEY, for the ,definulants, produced others, who swore
that his clients were not the parties who had perpetrated the outrage.
The Jury found them all yuilty, and
The CHAIRMAN sentenced them to pay a fine of 5/. each, with
liberty to speak to the prosecutor t in other words, to pay between
them either 201. to the King, or 101. to the prosecutor.
William Palle was convicted of wantonly assaulting John
Dickworth, and another, for which he was sentenced to pay a fine
of 24/. in each case.

DRLTRY-LA NE.

Mr. 13rahatu, after three years absence, has appeared at this theatre,
ae Grunt Belino in the Devils ,Bridge. Hie appearance was
hailed with the most unequivocal satisfaction, which WAS increas-
ed by, the energy (taste is-totally out of the question) of his singing.
John Bull loves a noise,—the most exquisite touches of melody
arc lost on his obtuse faculties; but give him lungs, together With
something that resembles a Shake Or a Nourish—.and be is in saute-
cite. Mr, Braham administers very ablyto this national peen-
liar; ty,and accordingly hie execution of the in uch-overrated " Fancy's
sketch," tva* as buisterone as even the amateur de north-east wind
could desire. His " Though love is warm awhile," was, however, sung
with more delicacy both of look, hinge, and action, and was of course
leas successful. Mr. Brabant is, in fart, a true English singer,
nothing more ; and is our of Mom! who justify Rotsini's declara-
tion that " in England, men laws the finest voioes, with the least
taste of any nation in the world." As a composer, he is beneath
contempt, nor have we yet forgotten or forgiven his late mur-
derous designs upon that innocent and much injured air, Kelvin
Grove." The massacre of Saint Bartholomew's Day, was virtuous
'compared to it, •and' we sincerely hope that the atrocity may not
sit Leavy on Mr. Braharo', cousclence in his latter days.

A
a very unwelcome visitor entered one of the. Shantees
(temporary buildings of accommodation) in Deerpark,

night, when all was dark and still, a woman, asleep in

the floor ; she immediately got op to examine what it
could.be— was groping and as she about, with her
naked feet, in the dark, she trod upon 'a Rattle-snake,
which seized upon one of her toes, anti tell a most
painful remembrance of his visit, and then disappeared
through a bole in the floor. He had crawled through
an opening in the siding, andwhich made the noise alarm. Nothing

leg was dreadfully swollen to the knee, where she had
taken the precaution to tie a strip of white oak bark

pounded up a mixtures of roots, and applied it in the
form of a poultice to'the part affected, which soon

TROTTING MATCH.
Capt. Bullock undertook on hiontlay to trot his mare, Peggy,
nine Miles in 32 minutes, over a mile circhi near Epping Forest,
m the"
for a stake of 200 sovs. The mare was new to the sporting
world, and rld, a,.
consequently excited great interest. Great sums
were ntling on it, and the match was Won, without (nice break-
ing ftr

without
much labour.

Mr. Cam ' in% attended, along
with the English Am-
bassador, a trial before the Court of i
Paris,

NSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JAN.

Sir John Miles IVinnington, whose ease we noticed hot
week, came up to receive the judgment attics Court,
Mr. POLLOCK 'Rated that he was requested by Mr.
ford to say, that the Court laboured under a misconception' in
supposing that he had used any exertions to prevent the ini.6l.
vent from obtaining the necessary information for making up
his schedule, for that he had never even heard of his itchtdOle
until he received the usual notice as a creditor,
The Cutts COIRII4IIIOIIOI4IEII. ObaCTVati, that there was DO
ground whatever fur Mr. Bamford's opposition. He then re
capitulated the circumstances under which the insolvent had
obtained credit from Mr. Oast and Mr. ti,:rginson, which were
full, he said, of misropmentations. Tice jagment of the
Court therefore was, that he should not he dbieharged under the
Act until he should have ben in custody, at the snit of Messrs.
(less and Serginson, 'or one of them, for a period not exceed-
ing eight extender months from the date of tiling his petition ;
and that he be confined within the• walls of the prison, and not
within any rules or liberties thereof.
Robert Mall, of Dowii-street, Piccadilly, came up' to be
heard on his petition, and was opposed by Mr. Pot.wcx, ott
behalf of Mr. Frander, and by two other creditors in person ;
from one of whom, named Downe, it appeared, that he hint
obtained credit for goods to the amount of bit., by repretientbig
that the lease and furniture 011ie house were his own ; whereas
the lease was held by a Mr. Robinson, of Half Moon.street,
as a security for a large sum of vieney, and the furniture had
been disposed of for the benefit of his creditors, and bought in
by his father-in-law, Mr. More, the builder. It also appeared
that the insolvent had rut Messrs. Chilintin and Hancock, other
.
creditors of his, tounnecesitary law expences, when euing him
for the amount of their debt.
The COURT, therefore, ordered him to be remanded at the
suit of the latter for four, and at Mr. Down-'4 emit for eight
calendar months, and to be confined within the wails of the
prison,

slave trade, Etc. On the subject of standing
armies he observes : •
" The Republican establishment fohneu toroughout America
is opposed to that of a great permanent military force; the
United States have wisely avoided it; Rome perished by means
of her armies; they gave her Marius and the twelve Ctesars, as
it set oft' against the Hrutuses, the Eabriciuses, the
hoes, the illareellusaes,, and the Sciplosi F4ngland feels
the evil of her increased army; Switzerland maintains
no regular troops ; Holland had theM, and accordingly she
found a master in the Captain-tleneral Stsdtholder, Admiral-
General of this singular republic. In republics, the entire
spirit ought to be civil ; the military spirit is anti-civil ; it
creates in the soldier a disposition to dispise the unarmed citizen
&c. The soldier is an instrument of pure execution, apd he
loves nothing else, being as much to he feared in the interior
of States as he is respectable on their frontiers ; the multiplica-
tion of soldiers is a very active principle of war ; one has war
when one has soldiers, as one has soldiers when one has war—
ns Frederic confessed on the occasion of his first war against M aria
Theresa. They are, with respect to this scourge both cause and
etreet, as they are with reference to taxes; it is the multiplica-
tion of military forces which has reduced all the finances of
Europe to their present condition : and when confiding in a
numerous, brevet and akilful army, a warrior, has waged war
for fifty years, and eat up ten times the fortune of the State,
he dies, letting fall from an expiring mouth these repentant
words, I have loved tear too much,--a fine consolation for the
millions of victims of this warlike mania, and the bankruptcy
which it entails;"
