‘Vhzti this strange buiiness was first agitated,
we entered our most earnest protest against treat-
ivg it lightly, or not resisting Its earliest step'
WWI ;Idequate vigour. The Processions have, it
is true, been stopped near Loudon, but it, will be
indispensibly.necessary to stop all imitators long
before they apps oach so near us. It will be neces-
sary to prevent the first levy of contributions, and
the very formation of these associationt, whielt, un-;
der'whatevei• pretence they proceed, are, in fact,
'equally dangerous to the public tranquillity. There
is a feverish spirit abroad throughout the Empire,
whiCh is not to be trifled with and every stimu-
lant to greater irritation ought to be carefully re-
moved. The Secretary for the Home De-
partment has indeed evinced sound discretion
in his treatment of the colliers at Maidenhead
and St. Alban's. Alildness and persuasion are
the noblest instruments in the Mantis of the
.ritli»g power of Britain.. BUt a repetition of this
course would be unwise ; and persons- likely to be
rnif.ted into similnr ex periments,.ought"to be warn•
ed beim eband that the leniency ,hewn to their
precursors nntst.be converted into pouis,hinent to-
wards them.

ky.TaACT OF A LETTER }1.40}1 MAIDENLISAD, SIX

O'CLOCK, JULY 5.

Vesterday morning (Thursday); Mr. Birnie,
from Bow .street accompanied lay, two officers,
arrived at the Sun Inn here, and. after consulting
with Sir Wan. Hearn, and Other Magistrates of
this place, swore in several extra-constables: and
as a matter Of'precautiou ordered a party of mi-
litary to be 'under 'arms. This dune, they Sera
loyward the officers froth -Bow:street to. meet the
waggon that was approaching. from Henley : . it was
met on Maidenhead Thicket; about: two miles from
hence, and the crowd attending it, on' being -in-
formed 'that they would not be permitted. to-pro-
ceed, instantly stopped, and conducted themselves
with the greUtest propriety., The waggon, which
,was 2 ton, 6 cwt. and 121 b., waadrawn by 41 men ;
and a leader or oversees' rode 04 horseback, and di-
reeled the whoM. As soon- ELS it was understood
by tine Magistrates, shat the party wished to act
in the way most agreeable to the lawful. autho
,
titled, a xegdeintion was entered into,-and the coals
were perMitted to be brought in hire by .four
'of tlae party and Moir leader , and were deposited
with War. Pyne, Esq, who will distribute them
amongst the poor of Maidenhead. The coals were
drawn to this place by horses sent out on purpose :
the men refused to sell the colds, but gave them up,
AS requested, to Mr.`Pyne, and received a very hand-
.
some present instead. Mr. Birnie , Sir W. Hearn, Mr.
Fyne, etc, went nut and negociated. The potie fel:
lows were perfectlysatisfied, but refused to.gountil
the Magistrates signed a paper that they bad eon-
.
ducted themselves properly. '.At Henley, the day
before yesterday, they behaved so-well, that the
Mayor permitted them to go wherever they pleas-
ed itVthe town, and they had upiyards of 40/. given
v •
.to them at 'that place. They left Bilaton with
three waggons in company, and parted at Ox-
ford. One weggon was to he at Beaconsfield last
night, and the other at St. Albans, where they
would, it is supposed, be met in the same way
, those were met with here, at about one mile from
this plaCe, for it appears they carne this side
,Maidenhead-thieket. 'They were 20 minutes in
drawing the waggon tap.

It is supposed that Mr-RtaNM was empowered
to satisfy tbetn.—The extraordinary natsite of
these occurrences occasioned much •bustle Lyre

B,Lis tt, toe sioek of public benefiti' we feel it
tiler eiore a duty, as well as a gratification, to r 6,
cord the first appearance. di Miss 19Ati1.1.11:41t at
this thew re, in the, character of Rostsbelhi,, in The

part was. correctly just, her execution of it arch
without grossness, delicate, And yet bninorosis,--.
lier timidity rendered her voice- not always
.liciently strung, bat that, will necessarily improve
by Limp. and practice. The possession of charac-
ters ,stuttng her seniors at Covent-kiarden, has hi-
therto unavoidably kept back this young Lady
from displaying herself: in any other part than
that Of Ariel, wherein she eeinced so much excel-
lence, as to have caused considerable regret among
the admirers of the Drama. at tineing,seen her so
"hlohl. tier performance of last night is of an-
other description, hod was greeted by the audi-
ence with repeated testiaronieS: of approbation.
Mr. COLMAN, who is equally qualified to judge
of, as Aisposd to fOster merit, will doubtless af-
ford her the opportunity of exercising and evin ing
Ler abilities. it is to his and his Father's Aliscri-
Initiating judgment and liberality that the public
has been indebted fur some of its greatest. Per-
formes's, who would otherwise probably have
phuu'd unknown, and wither'd in the shade."

The Haymarket Theatre has been a dramatic
seminary both for Authors and Players ; and
lucki-
ly for genius, its hypodidascalus is a gentleman
and a scholar, tinder whom real talent will ne-
cessarily acquire taste and judgment. The house
i!self is .considerably unproved in its appearance,
displaying a simplex niundities- in extreme con-
trai.t to the Whiter Theatres. It was well tilled
in every part, though not to overflowing.

threatened Ptiblication at his political lite; and
it is said a work is already written, by auticipu-
tion„ containing those passages of it which his
modesty may probably induce him to omit. A
pretty mitotic calculation is made of the sums he
accumulated by robbing; the churches, and pht-
dering the Merchants of Ly,,ns, in tbc time of
Rontorrreatte ; and of the still greater extortions.
he 'practised as Minister of Police under BUONA•
SARTE. The individual murders, public and pri.
*ate, amounting to some thousands, , which he
committed in the course of his bloody career, are
also set down ; and it is sarcastically inferred,
that, with Such qualifications, he is the best pos.'
sible Police Minister for regenerated France.
Paoeasss OF THE DIVING-1421.L.—The benefi-
'eial effects of this curious machine begin to till-
play themselves in a prominent manner, as .Was
strikingly evinced in Plymonth Sound on Thurs-
day
.sennight, and on Tuesday last. On the
former day FISHER, (4 diver, brought up with
him, after fifteen Minutes', absence, a stone
weighing two hundred pounds, though nearly
lbur'ol iii shelly sand. On, the latterday, the an-
chorage of the Stoma having been swept. for
_a
mass of rock lost front one of the lirealt water
vessels in May, 1813, and the same being
found, the hell•vessel was placed . over the
spot, and the, bell lowered,• with Fisher and two
other niers, and proper implements for boring, in
:33' feet of water, who ,socceeded in boring the
stone, securiag a lewis, and making fast a pm.-
chase tor heaving it up, alt Which was satiety
ellected in abont two hours and a halt from the
time of descending. The rock, thus recovered,
weighs four tons, and an entire summer had been
spent in tryint, to get it up, but ineffectually,
owing to its peculiar form, which evaded sweep-
Mg. The rock has been landed' at the King's.

ST. 11ELENA..-"Ill the year 1592, St. Helena
was inhabited by only one man. The ship Edward
tonaventnre, Captain LANCASTER, on i 4 return
from India, touched there that year, which is re-
lated as follows :--The ship was brought to au-
thor at Saint Helena, where we found an
Englishman, a tailor, who had remained four,
teen months on the Island. Ten men who
bad been sent ashore in the boat,: bearing
some person singing within a chapel, con-
cluded that it Was a Portuguese, and pushing
open the door, found the tailor sheltering him-
self front the heat of the sun. lint the sodden'
entrance of so may people at once, greatly alarm-
ed the poor man, who had not seen a living •
soul for 14 months preceding. At first he took
them for Portuguese, but afterwards discovering
that they were Englishmen, and several of
the number his own acquaintances, he was so
bveijoyetl, that, what between excessive fear and
madden joy, lie, to our great sorrow, became dis-
traeted, and died on our arrival in time West In-. 1
dies. In St. Helena we found forty goats 'which-'
ban been dried by him, and for want of other ap-
parel, he had made himself two suits of goats'

Fin. worth revered, lo! full of years,

Amid a sorrowing tears,
Who mourn their constant kihdest friend.

Oft have I heard, as oer his land
I wandered in my youthltd'days,
The farmer bless his "ttste.ritig hand,

Displaying well the sculptor's art,

And unimpaired tts meets bestow,
The legendary tribute lire
When time has laid the structure low.

In early life to warfare trained,
He gained that glory arms catr yiey,
Whed Gallia had her lilies stained
On Minden's memorable field.
Thence raised to titled wealth, he trod

Bright, mat lied with piety to God,
And kind benevolenoitu man:

Whose prnwes fame has blazoned wide;
Long, long o'er.tieotia's vales and hills
