SUBSCRIBERS TO THE BEACON BOND.

We thoroughly intended (says an Edinburgh Paper)
to redeem our pledge to give the names of all the
parties who, after The Beacon had appeared in all '
its enormity, bound themselves to support it with
their money and their influence. It was our in•
tention also to have dwelt upon the responsibility
which „as thus incurred morally and civilly ; but
having learned that Mr. GIBSON (in vindication of his
character as a professional man) had determined to
proceed against them at law, we relinquished our
intention. Mr. GIBSON has instituted two actions—
one against Mr. DOUGLAS CUEAPE, Advocate, as
author of the libels, or one or other of them, as one
of the Proprietors, and also as Editor of The Beacon;
and Mr. DUNCAN STEVENSON, as Printer, concluding
for £5,000 as damages, &c. and the other against—

Sir William Rae. of St. Catharine's, Bart. his Majesty's Ad-
vocate for Scotland; James Wedderburn, F.sq. his Majesty's
Solicitor-General for Scotland ; John Hay Forbes, F.sq. Advo-
cate, Sheriff-depute of the County of Perth ; John Hope, Esq.
Advocate, and Deputy under the said Lord Advocate; Sir Wal-
ter Scott, Bart. Principal Clerk of Session, and Sheriff-depute of
the County of Selkirk; the Right Hon. William Arbuthnot,
Lord Provost of the City of Edinburgh, and Secretary to the
Trustees for Fisheries and Manufactures in Scotland ; Henry
Home Drummond, Esq. Member of Parliament for the County
of Stirling, and, at the time of signing the bond, Deputy under
the said Lord Advocate; and J. Wauchope, Esq. Writer to the
Signet, and Keeper of the Register of Horning* and Inhibitions,
" as combining, by contributions in money and otherwise, to
support the said Newspaper in its most wicked and nefarious
attacks upon the pursuer;"

And which action concludes for £lO,OOO, in name
of damages, &c.

A letter received from President BOLIVAR, dated
Cucuta, September 7, 1821, states that the inhabit-
ants of Carthagena had sent a Deputation, °Tering
to surrender, provided the PRESIDENT would take
possession in person. It was his intention to make
his public entry into that city on the Ist of October.

THE FUNDS.
STOCK EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK.

A Loan of a Million and a Half sterling has been
contracted for Denmark, by Messrs. HALDIMAND
and Co. upon a plan similar to that of the Prussian
Loan. It is in the 5 per Cent. Stock, and we under-
stand the contract price is about 75 ; it has this morn-,
ing been sold at a premium of 5 per Cent. The princi-
pal is to be secured upon the Sound Duties.
By a recent regulation of the Committee of the
Stock Exchange, its Members are restricted from
making any bargains for a future Account until
within fourteen days of the Settling-day of that in
actual existence. This is the first day, therefore,
upon which dealings for the opening in January
have been publicly transacted, and the amount
of continuation properly ascertained. _ _

Consols for the opening have been currently done
at 79, three quarters per cent. above the price for the,
present Account, which is an interest of 71, per cent.
All the efforts which have been so strenuously made
to check the speculation for a rise, appear to have been
ineffectual, as the Market this morning has assumed
a decided character of strenth and firmness.—Prices

In the present state of the Continental Press, it is
not only difficult, but impossible, to obtain correct
information on any of the topics that occupy the at-
tention of the Holy Alliance. Are the relations of
amity to be maintained between Russia and Turkey ?
If we endeavour to answer this question, by referring
to the foreign journals, the labour will be fruitless.
One day they are all peace, and another all war.
But there is another method of coming to a conclu-
sion—namely, by looking at the policy that has ever
directed the measures of one or other of those Poten-
tates who imagine that they hold in their hands the
destinies of nations ; and at the same time making a
proper estimate of the moral and physical energies
of those whom the Great Powers never deign even
to consult on any of their measures, though of all
others they are the most interested.
In discussing the question as to war or peace, it is
quite common to inquire what does Russia intend?
What Austria and Prussia and England? With us
the main question is, what can the Greeks do for
themselves against the Turks? and we have no hesi-
tation in declaring our opinion that, if in earnest—
and we cannot doubt that they are—they can do
everything that is necessary for their own emancipa-
tion. Can we doubt this, when we recollect what
they fight for, and the fate that awaits them in the
event of a failure? Will the guarantee of Russia
prove a shield for them in the event of submission?
They know well, that however this might suit the
future views of the Court of St. Petersburgh, to
themselves it would be a sentence of extirpation :
I Again, if we look at the imbecile state of the Power
with which the Greeks have to contend, what have
they to fear from persevering in the struggle? Talk
indeed of the Turkish troops—the whole strength of
their empire directed against Greece ! Have we not
for years seen the same Power holding out its threats
against ALI PACHA, and leading its troops to the
attack of the rebel, with promises a hundred times
repeated, that now—now the attack would be decisive!
But what has been the result? Can the Greeks,
then, have anything to dread as to the issue of the
struggle? We say nothing—but from the interference
of the Great Powers. And what have they to gain
or lose by either aiding the Greeks or the Turks ?
We will not now attempt to answer this question.
Suffice it to say, that the interests of these Powers
are individually different; and that each of them
knows this. What do they aim at then in their nego-
tiations (from which they exclude the oppressed
Greeks)? Only to deceive each other—each aiming
at its own interests and vainly persuading itself that
it will outwit the other parties in prosecuting its own
views of policy. In making this statement, we are
only attending to the voice of history respecting all
such negotiations. They will go on in the course they
are following till one of the parties loses patience and
demands a categorical answer regarding some point
in issue ; and then they will openly quarrel. Such
we are confident will be the result of the present dis-
cussions, but how soon or how remote may be the
rupture, time alone can unfold.

The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived this forenoon.
Their contents are important, since,•if they may be
credited, they put an end for the present to all chance
of a war between Russia and Turkey. A private
letter from Vienna, of the 31st October, says--" The
continuation of peace is henceforth beyoud a doubt.

The wantonness of this last aspersion makes tk
credibility of the rest of the statement more Mu

" Still," it says, gi there is the same incertitude as is

DRURY-LANE.—A new Comedy, in Three Acts,
called Lost EA was ptoduced last night, for the first
time, at this Theatre. It. is constructed on a double
plot.—Miss Versatile (Mrs. Enwtsi), a sort of female
fortune-hdnter, accompanied by her aunt (Mrs. HAR-
LOW), goes down to Bognor in search of a husband.
The adventurers are two milliners from Uanbourne-
alley. At this place they fall in with three beaux,
Captain Freshwater (Mr. Paßnav), Vivian Feather-
brain (Mr. COOPER), and Natty Daffodil (Mr. HAR-
LET). The humour of the situations, as far as those
parties are concerned, consists in the difficulties to
which Miss Versatile is exposed by permitting the
addresses of the whole three, who happen to be ac-
quaintances, and the constant di ead she is in of en-
countering all her lovers at the same time. After
some amusing escapes she is at length detected and
abandoned by them, and is eventually married to
Earriq,,ton Coventry, a swindler, Who had mistaken
her for an heiress. The under-plot represents the re-
turn of Solomon Pilgrim (Mr. Al UNDER), a great tra-
veller, supposed to have been dead, and the uncle of
Vivian Feathrt rain, one of Miss Versatile's admirers.
Solomon having now a claim to a large estate, le-
mains for some time incog. by which means he dis-
covers the inconstancy of his nephew to Emma (Miss
SMITHSON). The nephew, however, becomes a pe-
oitent, and, after some difficulty, his uncle being
it:cognised as really living, he gives his consent to
the marriage with Emily, and the Piece concludes.
The character allotted to Mr. MVNDEN was that of a
moralizing traveller, who pretended neither to wit
roe humour, and the; close was incapable of drawing
out the genius of this admirable Comedian. The most
ludicrous part in the whole was that which Mr. HA It-
LEI personated, a cockney poet, who sighed for groves
and gardens, and was at the same time under the in-
tonation of love. The conception of the character
seems to be a well-directed satire on the poetical
*drool of the day. Ile celebrates the birth-days of
all the Poets, at an ale-house on Highgate-hill, and
mites some doggrel lines, commencing with—
Ilighgare is a place of high renown,
About a mile and a half from Kentish Town !

gravity imaginable, and produced bursts of laughter.

which consisted in the exclamation of the word "un-
common," which was manifestly suggested by the
"prodigious" of Dominic Sampson. The announce-
mentof the Comedy for repetition was received wills
loud applause. The House was crowded.
COUST-GARDEN.—Last night Miss M. TREE re-
appeared at this Theatre, in the character of Viola,
ui SIIAKsPEARE'S Comedy of Twelfth Night. The
personal appearance of this fascinating Actress exhi-
bited the painful effects of protracted indisposition ;
but her vocal powers remain unimpaired, and their
exquisite tone and tenderness were, perhaps, height-
ened, by the evident delicacy of her health. She sang
the beautiful songs which are interspersed through
the Comedy in a tone of feeling and taste which pro-
duced the finest effect. In the fine song of "Bid me
discourse," at the conclusion she became exhausted;
ad Mr. ABBOTT came forward, to claim the indul-
race of the audience. He announced. that M iss TREE'S
agitation was such, at appealing again before the
Public after so long a separation, that she was com-
Vied to entreat their permission to omit the last
