KING'S THEATRE.

Saturday evening Rosso: es Opera of Oleo was performed at t:,:t
Theatre, in which Madame l'aszA made her appearance in the a .
ratter of I:leak:none, after an absence of seven years. This Lad
voice is what is termed mezzo soprano, and has consideratle power
the middle and upper pans, the lower tones are not so good. Sie
possesses great musical knowledge, a finished style of execution, and
most exquisite taste. It is not therefore surprising that she
have acquitted herself of her arduous duties in an extremely MI:,
factory manner to a most crowded and brilliant audience ; who to.
tified their approbation by calling for her at the finish of the Orer.,.
—She was led on the stage by Signors GA KCIA and lintett t, amt
acknowledged the kindness of the audience by a graceful curt se.
Of Signor GA RCIA'S performance of °kilo it is needless to say inot
than that he sang with all his accustomed excellence ; at the eo„.:
mencenient of the Opera he appeared to be Wintering tinder t 4.?
effects of his recent indisposition ; but before the dote 11.•
quite himself. In order that the public should nut „
perience any disappointment by the postponement of the
and consequently of the appearance of Maitime ,
Managers, with a zeal that well merits praise, engar
Becks z to perform the part of Bodrig,o (in place of
wbo is ill), which he did very respectably. It is unnecessary to sae
more of the remaining characters, sustained by Signors Poiero at,!
BENELLI, and Mad. CARA DORI, than that they were very
performed, and that the Opera went oft with great eclat.
In the Divertissement and Ballet Mad. Nion.rr made her first
appearance this season. We observe no alteration in her, excepiing
that she is a little thinner.

MARRIAGE IN HIGII LIFE.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, APRIL 24.

William Allison came up to receive the judgment of
the Court.

Mr. Commissioner HARRIS, in the absence of the
Chief Commissioner, observed that out of the insol-
vent's debts, amounting to upwards of 7,0001. 6,000/.
had been contracted by putting his name to accommo-
dation bills for another, with whom he had been con-
nected in transactions of that description, without hav-
ing had any property with which to meet them at their
maturity. Such conduct was not to be endured ; the
judgment of the Court, therefore, was, that he be con-
fined within the walls for eight calendar months, for
' having fraudulently contracted debts without any pro-
bable means of paying them.
James Hitchcock• was opposed by Mr. COOKE for a
creditor named Jones. It appealed that the insolvent
petitioned the Court in 182'2, and after referring if to
the provisional assignee, the Court dismissed the sche-
dule. The former petition, however, has ing remained
on the file, the present was of course dismissed.

flii Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX has at length
completed the new arrangements in his library, which for biblical
and controversial literature is more curious than any other private
collection in England. The 'Loyal Duke has recently added to his
literary stores souse very valuable manuscripts and illuminated
Missals, adorned with highly-finished miniatures, painted in the best
style of the period to which they belong.

A small Volume, entitled Practical Wisdom, or the
Manual of Life, has lately appeared, which deserves to be strongly
reconumnded as a Test-book for Youth. It consists of the cowl-
sels of the most eminent men to their children, including those of
Hale, Franklin, Penn, &c. These counsels, valuable as they must
ever be from their intrinsic excellence, become more so when we
consider thint as having, for the most part, been framed under cir-
cumstances peculiarly calculated to unlock the inmost recess of the
heart, to call torch the best treasures of experience, and to apply
them .dl, not merely to the purposes of temporal success, but
wise to the promotion of those eternal interests, compared to which
the highest wordly aggrandizement appears, in moments of calp
reflection. only as brilliant hubbies opposed to tile impermeable
lustre of the diamond.

The 20th instant, No. 19,412, was drawn a Prize of
£20,000 and the Public will not tail to recollect the numbers of

CAMUIUDGE V. ANDERSON.

This was an action on a policy of insurance for 400/.
effected on the ship Commerce, from Quebec to Bristol.
In the river St. Lawrence a fog came on, and daring its
continuance the vessel stranded at about two hunched
fathoms from the land, and sustained great injury. The
Captain finding it impossible to obtain immeJiate as-
sistance, returned to Quebec in an open boat, with a
view of consulting the correspondents of his owners. In
pursuance of their ad v ice, the agent for Lloyd's and three
surveyors inspected the wreck, and they were of opinion
that it could not be repaired without an expense ex-
ceeding its value. It was determined, therefore, to sell
it, and being brought to Quebec, it was put up to auc-
tion and purchased with its register, for 130/. The
question was, wire:her the plaintiffs were entitled to
claim as for a total loss with benefit of salvage, or for
an average lo,s only ?_

The Conn CHIEF JUSTICE gave his opinion, that if
the vessel could not be repaired at a less sum than her
value, though sold with her register, the owners had a
right to claim as for a total loss ; but if she could have
been repaired fur a less sum, then they could only re-
cover average. As this subject had been already much
discussed, and as the law perhaps was not quite settled,
he should be glad that his view of the case should be re-
considered by the Court.

The ,hity expiessed their opinion on the facts, that
the vessel could not have been repaired for a less sum
than her value, and found a verdict for the plaintiff—
Damages, 340/. deducting from 4001. 15 per cent. for
salvaze.

DIARY-LA-BONNE.

A watchmaker, named Standeven, who, a short time ago, opened
a shop in Seymour-place, Bryanstone-square, was finally examined.
The prisoner obtained from different persons about fifty or sixty
watches, for the purpose of repairing, and ?peaking them go; and he
made them go with a vengeance, for he pawned them, and then
absconded. An officer of this establishment succeeded in taking
him, some distance from London, and brought him to town. Forty
duplicates were found. In one case, the Magistrate expressed
great doubt, whether the charge did not amount to a felony, and
finally convicted him upon three distinct charges under the l'awn-
brokers' Act, in penalties, which he not paying, was committed for
three months on each charge, and he will now be compelled to
make the Tread Mill go, though a different way front the watches,

great benefit from the waters. Tuesday they were visited

LATE FROM COLOMBIA.— By the arrival of the brig
Fanny, in fourteen days from Laguir a, we have received
a file of Caraccas Papers to the 14th March; from these,
and advicei from ILltimore, the following intelligence
is collected :

Letters from Bogota, of 7th January, announce that
the most satisfactory arrangements are devising by the
Executive of Colombia respecting Mr. Zea's Lo.tn, and
that Mr. Hurtado carries with him to England instruc-
tions to recognise it fully and unequivocally, on satisfy-
ing himself of the regularity of the contractors' ac-
counts. The country was quiet, and since the capture
of Porto Cavello, merchants felt themselves more se-
cure in their persons and property. General Rodrique
Torro filled the office of Intendant of Venezuela. Ge-
neral Soublette was in Caraccas, and continued to have
the direction of the war in the Department of Zulia•
General Paez was in the Apure, and was not expected
back till next May.
FROM JAM 'cit.—We have received by the schooner

CURTIS V. WILLIS.

This was an action against the Sheriff of Warwick-
shite, for a false return to a writ officiifacias, issued by
the plaintiff, a wholesale-draper in Friday-street, against
a person named Crutchley, a linen-draper at Warwick.
It was admitted that there were goods on the premises
to satisfy the execution, but it was alleged that they
were bound by a previous act of bankruptcy committed
by the debtor.

The act of bankruptcy relied on was, that Crutchley,
being at the warehouse of Mr. Corbett, in Friday-street,
heard that a creditor named Johnson was coming, and
went out of the way to avoid him.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL contended this was not an
act of bankruptcy, as the party was not in his own house.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE clearly held that an avoid-
ance of a creditor any where was an act of bankruptcy,
and consequently that the return was true. The plain-
tiff wai accordingly nonsuited.

Church, either of Wand or of &otiond. I think the example of
Smith, of whom it is difficult to presume he was altogether inno-
cent of the late conspiracy, proves that the Colonies and the Govern-
ment must look for the religious ixstruction of the Negroes to men
whose situation and tenure will afford a better security that they
will not overstep the views and intentions of their employers, than
can be found in the voluntary zeal, even If always honest and sin-
cere, of the Missionaries, for the interests of religion. lam sorry
that the vicinity of Smith to your estate, and his connection with
some of your slaves has involved you in some loss of property ; but
looking to the Immense stake you have in this Colony, you may
conscle yourself, if the result of this formidable conspiracy should
be, that its premature explosion affords the chance of a better in-
surance against the repetition of a similar danger.

TRIAL AND EXECUTION OF REBEL NEGROES IN

JAMAICA.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM BUFF BAY, DATED THE
10TH INSTANT.
" KINGSTON, ?SKIMS KY 14, 182.4.
" Henry Oliver was executed pursuant to the second
warrant on Wednesday last; he died without makisg
any confession, but earnestly implored forgiveness from
his MAKER and JESUS. George was executed on Fri•
day ; he also refused to make any confession, and on
the platform he held up his head and desired all to look
on his countenance, and say whether he appeared to be
a bad Negro. Of the tour condeinned to death by the
last Slave Court, the sentence of three has been corn-,
muted to transportation. Sarnedi and George Taylor,
who were sentenced by the same Court to transportation,
have been pardoned by his Grace the Governor."
Accounts from Demerara, dated the 16th of January,
state the arrival of the 27th, or Enniskillen Regiment,
about 500 strong. Martial law was still continued, the
red flag was flying, and the militia were kept under
arms. The Negroes found guilty of being concerned
in the rebellion were sentenced to different punishments
—from one thousand to two hundred lashes, which were
all inflicted. Cobino and Sammy, who received one
thousand lashes each, were further sentenced to be
worked in chains—the former for life, the latter for
seven years.

FRANKFORT, JUNE 8.

It is expected that the Prussian Minister, Count
Bernstorff, will pay a visit to Jchanni,herg (the estate
of Prince Metternich, on the Rhine, who arrived there
a few days ago), for the purpose of adjusting the dif-
ferences existing between Prussia and Austria, relative
to the command of Mayence, as a fortress of the Ger-
man confederation. It is expected that the chief com-
mand of it will be placed, for some years, in the hands
of a Prussian General. Hitherto, an Austrian General
has had the command.

The King of Wurtemberg has at length appointed a
successor to Baron Wangenheim, his Minister to the
German Diet, which place has been vacant all the
winter. His Majesty's choice has fallen on Baron de
Trott, who has already repaired to his post. The Baron
was formerly in the service of the King of Westphalia,
as Prefect of Marburg, and afterwards as Counsellor
of State.

Letters from Warsaw, of the lath h May, give the
following account: " The Commissioners of the Govern-
ment for the department of the Revenue have called
upon the farmers of estates which, during the existence
of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, were assigned as do-
m .:dons to subjects of trance, and which have now
reverted to the Polish Exchequer, to send a statement
of their claims on the said donatories for the yearsl
1808-1814, to the Commissioners of their respective
districts. These claims will be discussed in the amicable
conferences on this subject between the Polish Commis-
sioners and the French Government."

CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, JUNE 14.

There were moderate quantities of all sorts of Grain last week,
and the fresh arrivalsof this rnorntag are by no means considerable.
Our Nlillers are not disposed to increase their !rocks, under the ap-
prehensiou that a considerable portion of bentltd Wheat wi:l find
its way into the Market by means of theGriminig Act; this, with the
present favourable appearance of the Wheat crops, occasimis a ge-
ncral dulness to prevail in the Wheat trade, and prices are reported '
2s. per quarter lower than this day se'nnight, with no sale for infe-
rior samples. Batley remains dud t last quotations. 13catis find
buyers on the same terms as last noted. Bulling Peis fully swore .
th,lr value. Grey Pens have no variation. The demand for Oats
is only small; and although the quantity at Market is but moderate,
yet sales cannot be made freely, but the prices of last tretk • are
fully supported. Flour continues to sell very heavily.

ALGIERS.

The following letter from au, Officer of the squadron
blockading Algiers (received via Marseilles), decidedly
disproves the statement lately made by the foreign'
papers, that the Naiad had captured an Algerine f-
gate, off Gergenti, on the Ist of May : that ship, it ap-
pears, then formed one of the blockading ships off'
Algiers :—" Our force off Algiers at this moment, un-
der the command of Sir Harry Neale, consists of the
Revenge, 78, Glasgow, 50, Cambrian, 48, Active, 46,
Naiad, 46, Ranger, 28, Weazel, 10, and schooner Ex-
press. The Syiille is daily expected. News having
arrived here tc-Jay by the Weaiel, from Marseilles,
that the bombs cannot be expected here for six weeks,
we purpose distributing our provisions and water
amongst the ships to be left here, and proceeding our-
selves to Malta to refit, and thence, after displaying our
flag on the coast of Italy, return to the blockading squa-
dron, to await their an ival. The Cambrian accompanies
us to Malta, and it is ex[ected will shortly sail for Eng-
land. A Dutch frigate and brig joined us this morn-
ing; having stated their only intention to be that of en-
deavouring to get their Consul off, they have permis-
sion to communicate. A Neapolitan frigate and French
schooner are (having our permission) at an anchor at
Algiers—the latter in the Mole. Our blockade has
been excessively well conducted, nothing having either
arrived or sailed without submitting to our search. The
war is known to be very unpopular amongst the Alge-
rines, and is only prolonged on their side by the stub-
born will of the Dey. It is now four years since he has
stirred out of t:x fortifications enclosing his Seraglio,
and during that time there has been as many unsuccess-
ful revolts; they yearly menace and besiege him about
the time of the Haieman, but this weary old Mahome.
tan having, by some master ly stroke of Turkish policy,
made his interests and those of his Janissary Guards
coincide, ail attempts to depose hint have as yet proved
abortive.-:—Neither is the war very popular with us—
no honour, no prize-money, and what is also very bad,
no Italy. Matter is touch in sight po, gaiety rather in-
creased by the exertions of Lady Neale, but her en-
deavours have been much retarded, by the absence of
the Revenge."

BILIOUS COMPLAINTS, HEAD-ACM INDIGESTION,
AND LOSS OF APPETITE.

COOLING APERIENT PILLS.—It is needless to
remark, that the most prevalent affections of the human
Constitution ate Bilious, and that upon the state of the Bile the
IL-alth of Europeans depends; of which this Medicine will always
prove an infallible corrective. It is prepared from the Prescription
of an eminent Physician, who, in an extensive Practice of upwards
of Thirty Years, proved its invariable efficacy. From its gentle
aperient qualities, they may be taken with safety at all times.—
These Pills are particularly recommended to those who, by long re-
sidence in, or occasionally visiting warns climates, and those also
who, by a too sedentary life, have contracted Bilious Affection's, as
the use of them will prevent many of the disorders incident M such
Persons, and which frequently prove fatal.

LE AKE'S GENUINE PILLS, justly famous tot
curing, in all its stages, the VENEREAL DISEASE.—
One small Pill is a dose, and the taking of one Box, in a recent
case, will soon convince the patient of the certainty cf his speedy
recovery. Nothing can be better contrived, more safe, or more
convenient than this Remedy, for such as are obliged to go 'purifies
or to sea, as it needs no confinement nor restraint of Dist ; and
sixty years experience (in an extensive practice) has proved that it
will effect a Cure when repeated Salivation and all other methods
avail nothing. For the Scurvy and other Chronica !Disorders,
this Medicine has not its parallel. Upwards of 40,0 i ei persons
of both sexes have ~eon radically cured of the above cruel disor-
ders, within the last eight years; Prepared and sold by the sole

Mr. Edward Chapman, proprietor of the Chelsea Bun House

bert went to his shop, and purchased three buns, and in payment
tendered a half-crown, which, upon inspection, turned out to be
bad. He informed the prisoner of it, who said he had no more
money about him and that he had taken it of the landlord of the
Three Crowns. He took it from the prosecutor, as he said, to get
a good one for it, and left the shop. Instead, however, of taking
the road to the Three Crowns, he went the reverse way. This ex-
cited witness's suspicions, and be went out for the purpose of
watching the prisoner, but lust sight of him. In the meantime the
other prisoner (John) went into the shop, and purchased sonic buns,
gave half-a-crown in payment, and received change. The prisoner
John bad just left the shop, when the prosecutor was returning,
who saw the two prisoners join company, and enter into a conver-

MA RLBOROUG H-STREET.

Satuttlay, a young woman, about twenty years of age, of very
prepos,csir•; appearance anti manner, and genteelly dressed in
black, who gave her name Louisa Rooknoll, was brought to this
office, charged with having robbed het ready-furnished lodgings of
various articles of property.
Mr. Willis, a stayinaker, residing in Russell-court, Covent-gar-
den, stated that about two months ago the prisoner came to lodge
at his house, and hired a forni•hed apartment by the week : tbe '
rent of which she, however, has since continued to pay Very irre-
gularly ; and on being pressed for payment, she always gave as an
excuse that she was only waiting to receive a sum of money which
was allowed to her at stated periods, by the Managers of the Pa-
triotic Fund, as the widow or a Naval Officer, who had distin-
guished himself in the service of hie country.
Tuesday last, she went Irons home, saying that she was going to
receive the nioi;ey of which she had spoken ; but she had never
since returned ; and after an absence of three days, Mr. Willis
broke open the il•ior of her room, which she had left locked, and
found that the apartment was stripped of almost every article it
contained. He then employed an officer, and from a certain clue
which he obtained to the prisoner's retreat, he succeeded in appre-
hending her, when she immediately gave him up the duplicates of
the property, which she had pledged at various pawnbrokers.
:Mr. Balfour, of Chandos-street, and other pawnbrokers, pro-
duced the property, consisting of sheets, blankets, curtains, &c. &c.
al! of which Mr. Willis identified as belonging to him, and which
the pawnbrokers said bad been pawned at their shops by the prisoner.
On being asked by Mr. DYER, the Magistrate, what she had to
say to this charge, the prisoner, who was deeply affected at her si-
tuation, in great agitation, said that she did not take the things with
an intention to commit robbery, but to afford her a temporary sub-
sistence until she could replace them, as slie was at the time actually
in a state of starvation, as Mr. Willis knew, and he must have sup-
posed that she intended to return, as she had taken the key of the
room with her.

Mr. Willis said, that he had made inquiries respecting the pri-
soner of the Secretary to the Patriotic Fund, and discovered that
her story as to an allowance from that fund was totally false, and
that she was only known there as an impostor, and a very bad cha-
racter, and this it was that determined him (Mr. Willis) to prose-
cute her. The prisoner was fully committed for trial.
