BATH', APRIL 28.

As Hamlet has it, a we defy augury ; there.is an
especial providence even in the fall of a sparrow;" but
!laYinA" .mentioned in my last the death of the Bishop
of &saw and WELLS, I bgg to refer your readers to
Moore's Almanack, where they will find, in his.note on
the astronomical signs for April, the following; remark :
—" The conjunction: of so and so, (giving the Quartileaspect, the Sun and Jupiter), the for mer in his exaltation,
and the latter in his peregrine, skew that some Bishop or
other tignitary of the Church is likely to meet death."
The note is placed opposite the 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20th
days of April, and the Bishop's symptoms of speedy
dissolution commenced on Monday the 19th, and ter-
minated on Wednesday the 21st !! ! Francis Moore
certainly made a strong hit for 1821..
The fete at the Theatre, on Friday evening last, was
certainly the most.saperb thing ever exhibited in Bath ;
it surpassed in splcndotir all our juvenile ideas of glit-
tering ghettoes and fairy palaces, and the amateur play
was well performed, especially Baron Duherley, Dick
Dowlas, Stedfast, and Panglon, by Captain SNIITII, Mr.
SKINNER, Captain Erne, and Captain PEACES. A pro.
logue, written by BAYLEY, author of " Minor Lyricks,"
was admirably given by him and Mr. StcrttsEtt ; it had
many good points, but I cannot say much in favour of
the concluding lines, which ran thus:
" Then, Sirs—hut hold, I'll favour of rn-nian
" To you I will appeal, 0 lovely, lovely n
The health of our Premier still impirnes—he ttke,

NAPLES, APRIL 5.

Continual and e::cessive rains in the course of last
snonzh have caused a sinking of the ground in the dis-
trict of Avigliano, in the province of Basilicata. which
Las shaken a great part of the bill on which the town is
built. This terrible phenomenon first manifested itself
in the night of the 17th, by the fall of a house close to
the barrack of the Bens d'armes. This house, which is
totally destroyed,. earned with it in its fall the barrack
and several adjacent buildings. In the morning of the
23d, a greater misfortune followed, for a gulf opened
near the inhabited dart, and swallowed under enor-

mous masses of earth—two hills, of which not a
vestige remains. The same day all the young girls
of the place were nearly the victims. They were
going in procession to the Church of St. Mary, about
a mile from the place, to implore the Divine mercy
In this moment of calamity, and they had hardly
passed A certain spot, when the ground, to the extent
iff five acres, sunk in with a dreadful crash, over-
throwing all the trees that covered it, anddestroying
all traces of the road for about a quarter of a mile.—
At the same time another gulf opened on themorth side;
It may be supposed that many buildings in the town
have been damaged by this event : the Intendant of the
Province immediately sent an architect' tp:sktve them.
from entire destruction: Happily no 'lives . were lor4,
except one gendarme. On the same night there was al
dreadful storm in the Adriatic.
ODESSA, APRIL 3.

We have letters from Constantinople of the 27th of
March, but they bring nothing important. Letters from
St. Petersburg]) say that M. Minziacky is ordered to
demand an indemnity of the Porte for commercial losses
sustained by the Itus',ian subjects of late years by seve-
ral Firmans issued in that period.

No formal mission will be sent from our Court to
the Porte, till this affair is arranged. It may be sup-
posed that die Turkish Ministers will, as usual, protract
the uegociation.

FROM SAME PAPER. OF NOV. 3.
A circumstance is mentioned*: the Journal of Saturday, which,
if ;:ue, demands immediate attention. It is confidently stated, that
150 Ein.uchs have been landed at Calcutta this season by the Arab
ships. fnr the purpose of sale; and It is also averred that those ships
are it the habit of taking from hence natives of the country, prin-
cipally &males, for sale in Arabia.

The Courier, from Rio de Janeiro, the vessel- which
brought the intelligence of the arWval of a. French
squadron in that port, had on board dispatches for
Mr. CANNING from Mr. CHAMBERLAIN, the COnsul.
General. Nothing additional transpired yesterday on
the subject.

from Mexico, says, His report of Ole general state of
this important country is extremely favourable. The

an inner room to receive the money and enter the number, wlnca
she did.—This was the evidence against the defonelant, who, MI

GUILDHALL

' -- Brown, alias John Newton, who bas been living for some
days at the White Hart, ButcherhaU-lane was charged with hav-
ing absconded from his service and robbed his employers, Maur&
Blain and Saunders, merchants at Liverpool, of property to the
amount of 2001. or 3001.

Mr. Wright, of 41darmanbury, stated, that he received a letter
on the 3d instant, from Messrs. Blain and Saunders, informing him
that their clerk, John Newton, had robbed them tq a great extent,
and•absconded. Amongst the property Were Vve"Bank post•bills
for ltg. each, and furnished him with the numbers and descriptions,
requesting him to stop the payment of them at the Bank. He ac-
cordingly did so ; and on Wednesday received a notice that one of
them had been paid in by Curtis and Co.the baniers, who had re-
ceived it from Carroll, the lottery-office keeper. He there found it
had been received in payment for a share of a lotterylicket, from a
young man answering Newton's description, and who wrote upon
the note, " Mr. Brown, ♦White Hart, butcherhall-lane." lie• then
procured the assistance of Herdsheld and Pprestcr, tw,o City offi-
cers, the former of whom apprehended the prisoner. Forester
found on him a 101. Bank post-bill, one of those described in the
letter, and nine sovereigns.
The prisoner, who appeared to be perfectly at his ease, expressed
a wish to be sent at once to Liverpool, in the expectation that his
friends there would be able to compromise the business. Alder-
man BRIDGES, however, thought it more proper to wait until some
communication had been received from his employers, and accore-
ingly remanded him for a few days.

THE DUC DE CAMBACERES.

'The'trench Journals are full of details respecting the
papers of the late Carnbaceres. On the death of this
.celebrated person, al)cut three weeks ago, his Majesty
Louis XVIII. on the representation of his Keeper of
the'Seals, signed an w•clonitatice, directing a Counsellor
of State to attend the executors at the umealing.of the •
papers of the deceased, and to reclaim, as ptit•li.:: pro-
perty, such pieces among them as came into his hands
on account of the public offices which he hek!. The
rounds of this decree are not less extraordinary than
its enactments. It'oroceeds on the assumption,
proof, that the de&a. Sid 'pos:essed documents which did
not belong to him, and uses the words, it appears, as a
reason for liiOlating the rights of private property. The
Counsellor of State is then i'...:ected to verify this ap-
pearance, by seizing upon all papers Curt may in his
opinion belong to the Government (" without, either in
the inventory or in the pr4cel-tierbat of -the transaction,
giving any description of them"), and depositing them.
in the hands of the said Keeper of the Seals.. The heirs
of Canibaeres appealed to the Corr Royale against the.
execution of this o;•donnallce. The Cour Royale issued
ati ordonnante, declaring the Measures taken by the
Keeper of the •Seals merely " provisional and con-
servative," and ordering the Juge de Nix. of the
district to attend and deliver the papers " presumed
front their nature" to be state papers to the agent. of
Government, after numbering and describing them. This
was to be done with the reseivttion Of the rights Lf
parties,and the decree was therefore merely interlocutory.
On Saturday last the cause was to be heard, and the
conflicting claims of the Government and the late
statesman's heirs decided : when, to 1. the Prefect of the
Seine comes, and claims the iogiaanee of the affair
'to die-Council of -State, as corning within the'adininis-
ti ative jurisdiction, Instead, theiefore, of being decided
ts a Court of Law, the rights of Cambaceres' heirs will
be judged by the Council of State, headed by the Keeper
of the Seals; the very officer who disputes them. This
affair has alarnied.all that numerous class of persons
who, during the course of the revolution, or in the late
various changes of Cabinets in France, have held public
appointments, or become possessed of political corres-
pondence. Accordingly, we arc told that great activity
is observable in the families of ex•ministers, ex-diph,

,natists, and ci-devant agents of power, and that iin.
rnense masses of papers are seen carrying away fro,
their houses to.secure depots, as if they dreaded ar
approaching fire.

FREEMASONS IN IRELAND.

Mr. DAWSON presented a Petition florn the Free-
masons of Ireland. It was signed by between two and
three thousand individuills of respectability, at t±-.e head
of whom appeared the name of hi; Grace the Duke 4,t
Leinster, and it prayed that the Freemasons of Ireland
might be exempted from the operation of the Act passed.
in the last Session of Parliament for the suppression of
Secret Societies. In presenting this Petition, the Hon.
Member did not mean to give any opinion as to the po-
licy of the Act alluded to. limier the present cit c,191-
stances of Ireland, it was perhaps better to pass such an
Act. lie hoped, however, that the people of that coun-
try would soon see the folly of all such associations—
(Hear, hear)—and thus render such an enactment un
necessary. If the law were, however, to remain upon
the Statute Book, he thought an exception might safely
be made of the Freemasons, who were a must mei
itn-
ikns class, whose objects were entirely of a charitable
nature, and who had always kept themselves distinct
tom polii ical collisions—(!Wear).
Mi. GRATTAN supported the Petition, and joined
in the hope expressed by the Honourable Member, that
the time would shortly :mire when the people of lie•
land would see the folly of all Secret Societies for poli-

tical ptirposs.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT agreed with the Honourable
Member for Londonderry, that the Freemasons of Le-
land deerved great praise for abstaining from any eva-
sion of the existing I VA' • At the same time, he coulJ
not but express a wish that other Societies had followed
their example. Although not a Freemason, he was
wil-
ling to add his testimony to that of the lion. Member
with respect to the propriety of their general depart-
ment, and the charitable objects of their institution: at
the srme time he much doubted, circumstanced as Ire-

land was at present. whether it would be prudent to ad-
mit even this exception to the gene' al law which

I(cted Secret Societies.

Mr. J. SMITH asked the Hon. Member (Mr. D
son), whether, in his denunciation of Secret Societies,
he meant to include the Orange As-sociation ?
Mr. DAWSON said, that for his part be had
no hesitation at present in saying, that while the Catho-
lic Association was permitted to continue in Ireland, he
thought it would be unwise and anjust to discontinue
the Orange Societies.—The Petition was then ordered
to be printed.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

Lord CAI:1'110RM (on the re-admission of stran-
ge; s) was found tipoa his legs, moving the second reading
of the 111-tie.e.mon: of Cattle Prevention Bill.

The Earl of ROSSLYN spoke in disapprobation of
the measure, which in reality he was not aware of being
in the lionse. lie viewed the Supplemental Bill, if
pas,ed, as likely to inct eaie the evils of the former Acts,
and he must object to the extension of such penalties.
Wiih respect to horses, for instance, the words " wouni-
ing, maiming, and cutting," it was ditfiLult to discover
in what n:anner or to what extent they might be ap-
plied. It could not be disputed that all horses were
foaled with tails, and that numbers of those fine animals
bole long tails, and set, it being the lashioa to crop
their tads, it was possible, should the present Bill pass,
that their owners might be fined for cropping horses'
tails. Such a Bill ought to be opposed, and in a future
stage he certainly would resist it.
Lord SUFFIELD was clearly of opinion that penal.'
ties in such cases should rather be left to adjudication at
the Quarter Sessions than confided to an individual
l‘lagistrate. lle was, the, efore, in favour of the Bill.
Alter some explanation float Lord CA LTIIORPE, who
supported the measure on preventive grounds,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that although he
disliked the measure he should postpone his opposition
for the present.—The Bill was read a second time.
The Earl of .11Alt ICKE presented a Petition from the In-
bitants of St.James's,Piecadilly, against the Equitable Loan Society.
The British Annuity Company's Bill was read a second time.
The Peal of SHAFTESBURY, as Lord Chairman, reported
the Resultitimis of the Committee of Privileges with regard to the
right of vo.iwg, on the part of Lords Farnham and CiainicArdt in
the election of ttvresearative Peers for Ireland.
It a quarter to seven o'clock their Lordships were moved to ad-
journ fur the Whitson Recess, and the House: agreed to adjourn to
Wednesday morning at tea.

TILL' ALGERINES.

It appears, by the following extract from a letter from
the Agents to Lloyd's at Genoa, dated the 21th May, as
well as from a statement in the Piedmontese Gazette of
the 22d of May, that our convoys had fallen in with
some Algerine cruisers.

a GENOA, MAY 24.

" We have now to acquaint you, that Stefana Capola,
master of the brig N. S. del Carmina, under the Sardi-
nian flag, who a! rived here lately from Girgenti, has
reported to us, that on the 30th ult. from the heights of
that place, was discovered a num2rous convoy of ves•
sels ; and that on the Ist instant, about five o'clock A.M.
the report of sundry guns was heard, which at first was
token for a salute; but as the firing of cannon became
more fr equent, and the report of several broadsides wer e
distinctly heard, they supposed it to be an action
fought by some men of war, but could not discover
of what nation, as they were too far distant; they could
only see the smoke in a southerly direction ; the wind
was S.S.E. The report of cannon lasted for about four
hours, but could not learn any result. The same
Master aids, that by the arrival of a sperowara from
Malta, they learnt that a convoy of seventy sail
of vessels had sailed from that port to the westward,
under the escort of a brig of war, and that soon after
two frigates had likewise made sail, which made them
conjecture that the convoy had fallen in with some Al-
gerine men of war."
The Yied►nontese Gazette says information had been
received, that on the 30th of last month some vessels
were seen near Girgenti, but they were at too great a
distance from the coast to distinguish what nation they
belonged to. At day-break, on the Ist of Maya heavy
cannonade was heard, and the people on shore thought
they could count 100 shots and five broadsides; after
this combat, which continued from sun-rise till half an
hour past seventeen (Italian time), the vessels sheered
towards the west. We have not learned any further
particulars.

EDLICATION.IR EL A ND.

Sir J. NEWPORT wished to know whether the Commis-
sioners had been appointed to inquire into the regulations of schools
in Ireland ? _ _

Mr. Secretary PEEL said that they had, and would be sent
over immediately. Ile proposed to empower them so fully as to em-
brace all the points included in the address of the Right I lonourable
Baronet—( Hear).
Mr. S. RICE hoped that no interested person would be en•
gaged on the Committee.
Mr. S.•cretary PEEL said, when the names of the Clemlemen ap-
peared, be was satisfied that no objection would be off.:red zo them.
The Trish Impounding Distresses Bill was read a thud time

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

A little before four o'clock, the Srraxen was summoned to the
House of Lords to hear the Royal Assent, by Commission, to
several public and private Dills, Mt the titles of which see our Re-
pert of the Lords.
itir. J. IiVORT LEV presented a Petition from Leeds against the
Eritish Gas Company.—Ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. RA dISDEN, and a Member whose name we could not
learn, severally presented Petitions praying for sssquiry into the late
proceedings In Demerara.
Mr. S. RICE presented a similar Petition from Harwich.—Or-
dered to be printed.
Mr. S. RICE presented a Petition from Dublin, praying for the
gradual abolition of Slavery in the West Indies.
Mr. DAWSON presented a similar Petition from the inhabi-
tants of Castle Comer.
Mr. S. RICE said, he held in his hand a Petition most nume-
rously and respectably signed by the Catholic inhabitants of the city
which he had the honour to represent. In this Petition, the Peti-
tioners confined themselves to a statement of their own case ; and
while they prayed for the removal of those disabilities which in his
(Mr. S. Rice's) opinion most unjustly affected the Catholic* of Ire-
land,they carefully abstained from the introduction of any extraneous
topic. The Petition was couched in language the most respectful,
and was so cautiously worded, and so temperate in its expression,
that it gave him (Mr. S. Rice) touch pleasure in expressing his cor-
dial concurrence in every sentiment which it expressed.
Sir J. NEWPORT and Mr. IL Iltercumsox supported the Petition,
which was ordered to be printed.
Sir J. NEWPORT gave notice that he would, on Thursday next,
bring the subieet of the Orange Societies in Ireland under the con-
sideration of the House.

Mr. HUME. moved for a Copy of the evidence taken before the
Szlect Committee upon the state of the Law relative to Artisms.
Sir It. SHAW presented a Petition from the Chamber of Com-
merce of Dublin, against the Warehousing Bill.—Ordered to lie on
the table.
London, England, 1824-06-05

TEST AND CORPORATION ACTS.

Mr. HUME said he held in his hand several Petitions from va-
rious Congregations of Dissenters, praying for a repeal of the Test
and Corporation Acts.
Mr. J. SMITH supported the Petition, and said, that law which
it sought to repeal was the most absurd upon the StittlV! Book, as
every year there was as Act of Indemnity passed to render its pro-
visio:is inoperative.
Mir J. NEW PORT supported the Petition, and agreed with
the Honourable Member ( Mr. J. Smith) in reprobating the ab-
surdity of retaining such Acts upon the Statute Book. They had
been abolished in Ireland in 1782, and no evil had beets felt from

their repeal.
Mr. W. SMITH said that he should shortly have to present a
Petition upon this subject from the greater part of the English
Dissenters.
After a few words front Lord J. Russm, the Petition vs as or-
dered to be printed.

/NPR ESSM ENT- OF SEAMEN.

- - -
Mr. HU 111 E said that he held in his hand a Petition from a
number of seafaring persons, bargemen, lightermen, &c. complaining
of the system of impressment, which they contended was a great
grievance, and an infringement of the liberty of the subject. In
the prayer of the Petition he most heartily concurrtd, and he
:basest it laid within the power of Government to adopt some
mode of wiping off this national disgrace.
Sir I. COFFIN said, it was very easy to talk of doing away
with tzsent system of impressing seamen. He would ask the
Bono Illensber bow it was to be remedied ? He had been
himself at era, man and boy. for the last fifty years, and if he con-
sulted his own personal ease, he should be no advocate for the sys-
tem complained ofs as in enforcing it he had received many hard

knocks, and had his bead sliced (as be might say) like a Cheshire
cheesy—(Much laughter). Ile believed, however, that if we wished
to preserve our Navy, which was the great bulwark of the coun-
try, tile present system must be persevered in ; and until the Hon.
Member could shew him a better mode of raising seamen, he (Sir
I. Coffin) for one should support it.—The Petition was ordired to
lie on the table.
London, England, 1824-06-05

THE EARL OE MAR.

Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that amongst the Bills sent down
from the Lords, there was one to which he was anxious to call the
attention of the House, and which he was sure they would be in-
duced to pass with the least gels), possible. It related to the re-
storation of the title of Earl of Mar, in the person of Mr. Er-
skine, a Gentleman of high respectability and very advanced age.
By the Act of James I. it was provided that those who were to be
restored to forfeited titles should, within one month after the Royal
permission had been obtained, take the requisite oaths, otherwise
such permission should be of no effect. The object of the present
Bill was to obviate this necessity upon the part of the Earl of Mar,
who, in consequence of his great age, could not by possibility at-
tend. He was sure, under such circumstances, the House would
nerd no further inducement to pass the Bill through its various
stages without delay—((Hear).
Mr. BROUGHAM seconded the Motion of the Right Hon.
Secretary. and pronounced a high eulogium upon the character of
the venerable Nobleman in whose favour the present Bill was about
to pass.—The MU then went through its various stages, and was
finally passed.
