BLOCKADE OF BUENOS-AYRES.

It would appear by the annexed article from New York,
that the commander of the Roston American sloop-of-war,
in the. River Plate' has obtained the release of four Ameri-
can vessels, which had been taken by the Brazilian cruisers,
and sent into Monte Video ; whereas British vessels under
similar circumstances are sent to Rio Janeiro for adjudica-
tion, notwithstanding our naval force on the South Ameri-
can station, with a British Consul-General and Vice-Con-
suls at Buenos Ayres, and a Consul at Monte-Video, to
look after British interests.

Naw YORK, Nov. I t3.—By accounts from Rio Janeiro of the

COUNTY OF LIMERICK.

The SPEAKER reminded the House that a Pe-
tion respecting the Election 14 the County of Limerick lard been
yesterday fixed fur consideration on the 17th of January. On
since looking over the Petition, however, it appeared that, al-
though the Petitioner's were perfectly qualified and entitled to pre-
sent such a Petition,' yet that the Petition itself was against the
uneaccessful candidate.
The order was consequently discharged, and the Petition was
ordered to lie on the table.

EQUITABLE INSURANCE-OPPlCg—This DAY.)

At a General Court held today, the following Resolution
was passed :--
" " That the Remuneration of the Directors be Increased,
and notice was given, that at the next General Court a motion
would be made, that such increase do not exceed 1,500/. per aim.,
to be divided between the 15 Directors, wording to their attend-
ance, and pursuant to such Regulations as they may make on
that head.

Notice was also given, of the renewal of notice of the revolution
lost at the last Court for paying the premiums at the end of S
months instead of 6, after the death of the parties shall have been
proved to the satisfaction of the Court of Director..
A Report was also read from the Court of Directors, recom-
mending that the salary of the Actuary be increased from 6001.
to 1,000/., and that his annual gratuity of '7OO/. be also increased
to 1,0001., thus making his total income 2,000/. per annum,
upon which an amendment was moved, to the effect that the sa-
lary of 600/. per annum do remain the same, but that the annual
gratuity be increased from '7OOl. to 1,200/.
A Member, however, (though he admitted the great merits of
the actuary,) seemed to entertain doubts as to the necessity of so
large an increase, and his opinion seemed to he in concurrence with
many of 'the other members present, who were inclined to think
that 1,5001. per annum was a liberal income, considering that
large presents had at different periods been made to the actuary,
one to the amount, it is believed, of no leas than 4,000/. (only a
few years ago), and that his son, a very young man, was
only last year appointed assistant actuary with a salary of
600/. per annum, and bearing in mind also that the Actuary is
not precluded from the exercise of what may he called private
practice, and that it i■ so common a. thing to refer matters of.
calculation to him, that his receipts from those sources may be
considerable.

WESTMINSTER PLAY.

Yesterday the Westminster Scholars gave their annual treat of
a Latin Play to a numerous and applauding audience. The drama
selected was the Euntichus of Terence, and the youths who put
on the sock on the occasion were—

Mr. Kynaston as Phmdria
Mr. Phillimore Parmino
Mr. Chamberlain Thais

Mr. Baldwin as Mentes
Mr. Cother Dorias
Mr. Simpson Dorus

Mr. Anatice Gnatho

Mr. Heathcote Sanga.

Mr. Jeffreys Chserea
Mr. Gwilt Thraso

Mr. Strangwaya......Sopfirona
and

Mr. Sutherland Pythias Mr. Brown Saches
All the young performers entered zealously and cordially into the"
spirit of their parts, end exhibited in their acting the best com-
mentary on the meaning of their author. As this Play is dis-
tinguished for vivacity of plot, variety, of character, and much
comic force of dialogue, the attention of the audience could scarcely
have flagged though it had been less ably sustained by the actors ;
hut, on the other hand, the cleverness and spirit with which they
gave some passages infused into them a degree of interest which
therwoold not have possessed in the.closet to common readers.
Jeffreys, as Mersa, had a great deal to do, and went through his
part with uncommon vivacity: Gnatho and Thraso, enacted
by Anatice and Gwilt, exhibited respectable specimens of broad
and fanciful humour. In the representation, the objection. which
a French writer makes to the long introductory soliloquy of the
parasite, when engaged in a business that required despatch, and
accompanied by the young beauty who demanded all his attention,
becomes more obviously just than in the reading of the peace. It
would be invidious to select any one of the young performers for
special praise where all did so well ; but we must add to the list
of thoie who deserved and obtained the greatest—Sutherland as
Pythias, Chamberlain as Thais, and Baldwin as (Armes.
London, England, 1826-12-07

Mr. HUME then rose to move, according to no

tice, for a Return of Appeals from the Colonies during ...a certain
period, which was but the revival of an Order made in April last
to the same effect. It was well known that 'an Appeal
. lay from
the decisions of .the Colonial Courts to the King m Council.
These Appeals were heard before a Committee of the Privy Coun-
cil, and that Court had as much need of reform as any other.
Court. It was, in fact, no regular Court. It only sat for a very
few days in the year, and the times of its sitting were uncertain ;
and there remained now an arrear of eighty Appeals 'to be dis-
posed of. He concluded by moving, in the Maud form of an Ad-
dress to the Crown, for a " Return of Appeals from the various
British*Colonies now remaining undisposed of; of the Number of
Days in the Year (luring which the Court of Appeals sat; of the
Fees of its Officers," &c.
Mr. Secretary PEEL had no objection to the mo-
tion, and hoped the Hon. Gentleman would have no objection to
an amendment which he (Mr. Peel) intended to move. The
amendment, or rather addition, was this, that the number of Ap-
peals from Guernsey and Jersey should be added. His object was
that they should have an account of all the judicial business of
the Privy Council.
Mr. HUME bad no objection to the amendment,
and would hiMself have included Guernsey and Jersey, had he
not been informed that it.was not necessary.
The motion, as amended, was then put and carried.
DEBTORS IN PRISON.
Mr. HUME then rose to move for a return of per-
sons imprisoned for debt; and his object was, when he should
have procured the return, to have a Committee appointed to con-
sider of some plan for diminishing the number of arrests on Meane
Process. There was hardly any other country where the law was
so tud in this respect as inthis country. He concluded by mov:.
ing for a return of the prisoners for debt in England and Wales,
SLAVE TRADE.
of
his.e
exclusive of Crown debtors, distinguishing those indebted in less
sums than 501. and 20/..—The motion was agreed to.
Sir A. GRANIB‘, in vtEhe absence
friend Sir

T. Aeland, moved for a Return of such Correspondence as bad
taken place between his Majesty's Government and Foreign
Powers, -elative to the Slave Trade, as had not already been laid
before the House.
The motion was agreed to, and similar returns were ordered of
the Correspondence on the same subject with the Authoritiea
at
the Cape of Go,od Hope, Sierra Leone, and other places.
THE ASHANTEE WAR.
Mr. HUME gave notice, that if the Right Hon.
Gentleman, the Secretary for Foreign Affair', was in the House
to-morrow, he would move for the Papers, Correspondence, and
other Documents, showing the source and progress of the War now
carrying on on the coast of Africa—he meant the Ashantee War.
ONE POUND NOTES.
Sir A. GRANT laid before the House the Papers
which had been ordered respecting One Pound Notes —Ordered
to lie on the table.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned at a Quarter after Eigt_____do:C"

ANCIENT CONCERT.

Last night, a concert was given by the Royal Academy of'
Music, at the King's Ancient Concert Rooms, for the benefit of the
Institution. The performers were selected entirely from the pupils
of the establishment, and we feel ourselves justified in adding
that the Concert was at once highly creditable to both parties. It
is almost invidious to notice particularly any one of the per-
formers, as more excelling than another, but we, nevertheless,
hope to be allowed to express our admiration at the manner
in which Miss Grant executed the first song of the second
act, " Pastu ma to ben olio," and the following duet with
Miss Watson. Miss Grant's pronunciation of the Italian is
surprisingly) good and so very distinct, as to give her a de-
cided advantage in Italian songs. Miss Grant, however, had
a very able second in Miss Watson, in the duet " Ceraggio o
figli." Miss Childe, laying aside a little timidity, bide fair to be-
come a "star." She sung the song "Ah the forse in tai me-
menti" in a style that did her the highest credit. The finale to
the first act of " Il Matrimunio Segreto" was executed by Misses
Belchambers, Grant, and Watson, and Messrs. E. D. Spagno-
letti, A. Sepia, and E. Seguir, in first-rate style. This concluded
the Concert, and sent the visitors home, well satisfied with their
evening's entertainment. In conclusion, we cannot help inquiring
when Miss Grant is to malt her debut before the public. We
have been told that a very advantsgeous offer has been made to
her, but which, acting under the advice of the Committee of
the Academy, she declined.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING, DEC. 5.

(FROM OUR 01V14 CORRIIMONIMIT.)

We have had a more general inquiry in our market to-day for
almost every article in our trade, and we believe more business
has been done than for several weeks past. Water twist has been
rnucht sought after, and considerable sales would have been ef-
fected if the holders had consented to take last week's prices..--
Mule yarns are uncommonly dull, and but little doing in them.
—Velveteens, for exportation, have cold very well, and at full
prices. Power-loom cloth is in fair request, and prices have been
fully maintained. In cotton we have no alteration to notice, either
in demand or prices. We understand that the spinners at Old-
ham are still in a very unsettled state ; a party of them, denomi-
nated turn•outs, broke open the doors yesterday of a mill then at
work, and insisted upon the hands within leaving their employ-
ment instantly and coming out—as it was understood by the
turn-outs, that they were working at reduced wages. Much
confusion ensued, and several of the more disorderly were taken
into custody, and lodged this morning in the New bailey prison.

CORN LAWS.

Mr. KEKEWICH presented a petition from
a Surveyor and Land-agent, of Exeter, relative to the Corn
Laws.—Ordered to be printed.
The SPEAKER, looking at the petition, said,
that he much feared that it would he difficult to print it, for it
seemed to contain drawings or devices, which appeared to him to
be like astronomical and geometrical scales. (This brought se-
veral Members round the Speiiker's Chair, and occasioned a scene
of some little mirth.) The Speaker at length said, that the pe-
tition might be printed, omitting the marginal scales, otherwise it
would require a new description of types.
The petition was then handed to the Clerk of the House; hut
we were not able to learn whether the lion. Member who pre-
sented it had waived his desire,for its being printed.
Mr. HIJME presented a petition from the Seamen
of South Shields, praying for an alteration of the Corn Laws.'

POOR OF IRELAND.
Mr. GRATTAN gave notice, that in the course
of the Session he would move a Resolution relattve to the state of
the poor of Ireland. lie would now present a petition from the
parish of --, in the county of Mayo, in which the petitioners
pramd that, as Catholics, they might be restored to their civ"
rights.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

An Inquest was held itt severi o'clock yesterday evening before
Thomae Shelton, Eisq,, Coroner, at the Board-room of fit: Bar-
tholomew's Hospital, to inquire into the death of* youth named
'Climite Hare, who was crushed to death at the execution in the.
Old Bailey, yesterday morning, Henry Browne stated, that he
was going through the Old Bailey about *even o'clock yesterday
morning, a great erowd had assembled, and he followed R mkl.
waggon, which was .going towards Ludgate-Lille,/Ind as another
waggon was coming in the contrary direction, it stopped.* abed
distance from the scaffold whereon the execution took plaeek'
Upon the waggon again moving forward, the driver desired the
people to take care, but, direetly after witness heard a scream,
and saw the deceased fixed against a post by tin hind wheel of
SW waggon, which WO instantly backed; and the deceased fell,
and was carried away by some of the crowd. The driver was
at the head' of his tom; and walked very 'slowly: James Buck-
ley, a weaver, was 'present, waiting to ,see- the exeention, and
gave the tame account as the last witaess. Joseph Martin,
ore, of the city police, deposed, that he was stationed with-
in the railing around the scaffold ; the waggon was Wrest-
sing at a very slow pace indeed ; the persons I' the crowd
would not move when the' wheels Ware, pealing close to
them, being afraid of losing their plates, antl'atuallyetood within
the waggon-wheels had the deceased unwed, no accident would
have happened. A juror asked if the thorottgbfare for carriages
was not stopped on the morning of executions,' `Martin replied;
always at seven et cheek ; but upon this occasion the crowd was
unusually-great. A joirr said the passage- ihould he always
stopped on the acaffold being brought out ; it was a miracle that
more fires were not lost; • Another "witness' deputed to the UMW

for an equalization of the duty upon East. and West

opinion in thiS matter would have all protecting duties
of whatever kind, or applicable to whatever

tion continues, to countenance some protection it the

that which is foreign, or 'USS closely identified

not extended to British colonial property, its applica.;

[TILE REPRESENTATIVE.]

We lately stated, on the
,authority of the Dutch
papers, that a Commissioner-beneral, appointed 'to
Java, had arrived in that island, tested with full
powers to administer its affairs at his own discretion.

If he be a man of prudence and capacity this disposi-
tion is a wise one, for all the advantages of that fine
colony have been. hitherto lost to the Dutch from the
misconduct of their Government. It is now too late
to repair the error committed by Lord Castlereagh in
abandoning Java to its old masters, and spurning the
attachment and affections which the paternal and pru-
dential administration of Si Stamfortl Raffles had ex-
cited in the breasts of the Javanese for his country.—
But while we lament this error on the part of our Go-
vernment, we may be aimed to indulge our good-
wishes for the happiness of these interesting, people,
and rejoice that the greedy and grinding system which
was introduced by the Dutch into the island on the
departure of that meritorious individual, and excited
so much discontent among its inhabitants, has had
the effect of convincing the Dutch government of the
viciousness of their policy, and working its own cure.
Accounts to the 25th of February, received yester-
day, state that the CoMmissioner-General lost not, a
moment, on his arrival, to adopt measures for, remov-
ing abuses, and redressing the wrongs of the natives,
by giving notice that all estates and property taken
forcibly from the owners, or for a small consideration
(for the acts of former Governors on this point were
extremely arbitrary), would be restored to the former
owners, or that the estates would be valued by compe-
tent persons, and that in place of the former pittance
allowed, the full value would be given by the Govern-
ment authorities. He also sent notice to the native
chiefs, that they had been unjustly and cruelly treated,
but that he was authorized by his Sovereign to redress
all their grievances. Ail the officers of the Govern-
ment, who were directly or indirectly engaged in
plunging Java in the late misgovernment, have been
4,l6k:barged.; and any person guilty of excesses,
whether a civil or military authority, was immediately
dismissed by the sweeping authority of this Commis-
sioner-General. Some of the insurgents still conti-
nued in arms on the east coast, but there had been
no fighting.

rowuta V. • WILLOUtIitaY.

lu this case the question was, whether a legacy of 1,400/, was
to be paid out of a testator's real estate, or out of his general as-
sets? The question came before this branch of the Court, by an
appeal from the Vice-Chancellor's order. '
Mr. DucrsvonTurappeared in support of the appeal.
Mr. HORI4X was for the patty against whom the payment was
sought, and he felt it his duty to take every advantage of the defec-
tive record, or of any thing the Court might think calculated to
benefit him.

His LORDltilr could not blame Mr. Horne at all, but he would
allow the case to stand over for a little, to see if the difficulty
could be got over.

MAIRTINSAU V. coorrit.

His LOADSIIII. wished to know, whether he was correct, in
taking it for granted, from the papers before hue, that the ques-
tion on this appeal, was, whether the defendant's mortgage was ►►
good mortgage ?
Context informed the Court, that his Lorship was quite
correct.

His LORDSHIP then said, that he would only just intimate,
that be bad read all the papers most carefully, from which he had
formed a judgment, that the mortgage was good.
On coining into Court to-morrow morning, his Lordship would
give his reasons for his opinions.

INIGAIgi v. CoNvor.rA.

Mr. Sergeant Wvtnit stated this to bi an action for breach of
contract. The plaintiff was engaged by the defendant, who is a
merchant, as corresponding clerk; he came from Milan at the
request of the defindant, and an engagement was made betleen
them. The plaintiff was to have from the let of January, 1823,
a salary of 400/. a-year for four years ;he remained with him
little snore than a year, when he wee dismissed.
A letter was here put in and read, proving the engagement.
Two witnesses were then called on the part of the defendant, to
prove that the plaintiff had frequently refused to write foreign cir-
cular' at the request of defendant.
The Jury found a verdict for the defendant.

CAMER I DOE COUNTY.

The vexatious contest for this county continued until yesterday
uftertioon, when it terminated in favour of the old :Members, woo
were returned by a considerable majority.

END or -rut CQNTIIITTHURSDAY

At :4 o'clock the election terminated, when the state of the poll
was annoupced by the High-Sheriff as follows : • '
Lord C. S. Manners - - 1,394
Lord P. G. Osborne - - 897
11. J. Adaane, Esq. - 627

Immediately after which the Under-Sheriff stepped forward and
proclaimed Lord C. S. Manners and Lord F. G. Osborne to be
duly elected Representatives in Parliament for the County of
Cambridge.
_ _

Lord C. S. Mueitaits then presented himself to the meeting.
Rig Lordship observed, that he deeply regretted the annoyance to
which the county had been subjected during a protracted contest
of no ordinary character, although, when he considered the result,
he could not do otherwise than rejoice at it.
Lord F. OSVORNE said, " Accept my eincere thanks for the
honour you have again conferred , opens me, by returning me to
Parliament as your Representative. With respect to the eines-
tiou of the Cot ke Laws, I shall support my Noble Colleamue, and
in doing this I AM sure! shall support your cause in the hest way
urn able. In alluding to the Catholic Question, Lord saiti,

Catholies were en power the Tories were ready-tiritost to itititt
ship ditto, but now they are down, the .Tories, are the *of to
leave a kick at them. This J consider to be the true state of the
Catholic Question, and it resolves itself into a mere topic of
deal expediency between the Whigs and Tories.
The Rev. 0. A. BuowNs: next presented himself to the Meet-
ing, but said he should Go happy -to give way ,to-any gentleman
on Lord Charles's, side who might with. to.address them. • '

Captain Corrow said, " 1 am that man." and the Rev. Gen-
tleman immediately gave was'. The gallant Captain observed.
never wish to see the county represented by two Whigs,: I had
rather" see it 'represented by a Whig and a Tory.; They shall
never, as long as I live, fofee two Whigs upon us.' I niean no-
thing personal to Until. Osborne, tbr whom have great re-
spect. You have my ,opinion, and in giving it I have only done
my duty, and I will continue to do my duty es lung as I live, SO
help the Clod."
The Rev. G. A. fittowxx next addressed the. meeting in, a
moat able speech, which we regret our limits will not allow us the
opportunity of reporting.
S. P. Etats-A, Esq. after a speech of great length, proposed a
vote of thanks to the High Sheriff and to the Under Sheriff.;
which was seconded by Mr. E. Fos'rxi.
The meeting then dispersed, and the Members were afterwards
chaired with the usual formalities.
