HAYMMIREC tHEATRE.

Last night, after Paul Pry and the Rowanire; which
were performed with the same talent and effect we have
so often noticed with approbation, the new Farce of
You Mlla be Buried was repeated with increased effect.
The acting was greatly imp►ored, especially that of
Mr. Reeve, who invested a character of little pre-
tension with considerable humour. M. LA roars too
netted himself with spirit and effect, and produced
considerable laughter; a little more variety is still de-
sirable. Mr. Reeve was again encored in his song, and
on the whole You must be Buried, was much more suc
cassia than on Saturday night. The house was numer-
ously and elegantly attended.

SUDDEN DEATH.

Oh! who could have thought when he passed by that miwning.
So firm was his iootatep, so bright was his eye)
!tad the blossoms of FL 31'11 every feature adorning—
Oh ! who could have thought that so soon he must die ?
Yet I saw him at noon, and an ominous sadness
Wershadosved and darkened his fine manly brow;
And•that face, which so oft was expressive of gladness,
-Seent'd suddenly alter'd, and comfortless now
I saw him at night—on his bed he lay dying,
His lips were fast changing from vermil to blue ;
And his children around him were bitterly crying,
As he Itisi'd them, and blest them, and bade them adieu!
I saw him again on the dawn of the morrow—
But Nature was vanquished, the struggle was o'er,
His Soul had forsaken her partner in sorrow,
And fled to that place where distress is no more!

would know what sort of one he wanted, as lie bad bought one
of him about twelve months ago. After looking at a variety, he
made choice of a single percussion, by Probin, of Lisle-street, priced
at W. which he agreed to give, desiring that some one alight be

address," J. Bishop, 37, Norton-faltgate.“ The lad called down
one of the men, who went whit him, taking a bill and receipt. On
their way the customer stopped at Clifford's Inn, telling the man to
adnd the chaise, while bikshewed the gun to his father, in the Inn.
Of course the customer 4.11 d nut return, and the man came home
with the chaise, after waiting several hours. When he (Mr. Lang)
came from Bow street, and heard of the customer, he semi a man
to Norton-falgate to tell him not to wait, as he telt possessed of
being duped: In the mean time his other man returned with the

In this case, which has been s frequently heard be-

mittee, Mr. Peer Bard, brother to the lunatic, had be.
come considerably involved in pecuniary embar-

BOSTON, Jucy 14.

Late advices from Mexico, mention that the Congress of that
Republic closed its Sessions on the V.ist May, when the President,
Victoria, by a Message, informed them that their internal affairs
were prosperous, and that the late diasentions had been quelled, and
their relations with Foreign Powers were generally on a friendly
footing, that England had agreed to send a Minister Plenipotentiary
to Mexico, and to receive one In the capital of that nation, which
exercises so great an influence over the destines of Europe, that the
Treaty between Mexico and the United States having been ratified
by the Senate with some alterations, a renewal of negotiations on
the subject would be required, but the best harmony exists between
the two nations, and both were anxious to arrange the boundaries.
The President complimented the exertions of Commodore Porter.

ESTE/LET OF A LETTER ',Rum CADTHAOZNA. DATED JILT 10.

" Business continues dull, and without any prospect of improve-
ment, until the political crisis is at an end."

By the last advices from Bogota, It appears that part of the
Colombian Army In Peru had again joined Bolivar's party, and
seized the authors of the rebellion, and sent them prisoners to
General Flory. The Congress at Bogota was deliberating on the
resignation of Bolivar, which, in all probability, will not be Re-
cepted.—According to letters from Laguira, England will agree to
assist Colombia in her pecuniary embarrassments, but only on con-
dition that Bolivar will remain at tho head of Government.

A letter from Caraccas, dated June 13, says—"• A Messenger ar.
rived last night from Bogota. Congress bad met, and refused to
accept the resignations of Bolivar and Santander."

It will be seen from our extracts from the Provincial
Papers, that there is but one feeling expressed in them,
all on the subject of Mr. CANNING'S death—that of un-
qualified regret.

- FRAM Tel SUOWNIIX lICRALD. or •UCIUST 11.

With deep and unfeigned sorrow we announce the death of Mr.
Canning. Mr. Canning's career, as Prime Minister of this great
country., has been short, but glorious. lie was in the most exalted
sense ciLtha word, popular; because he respected public opinion,
and was guided by principles decidedly opposed to that spirit or
delusiveness and monopoly which makes the few every thing,
and the many nothing ;—a spirit which, were it pertinaciously
acted upon for any length of time, in this country, would inevitably
produce a convulsion. Mr. Canning had not only the wisdom to
discover, hut the virtue and the courage to pnrsue, the right path.
In his arduous and painful course he was supported by hi. Sove-
reign; and cheered by the hoomt, the patriotic, mad the intelligent
among hi. own countrymen; aad by the enlightened and the
liberal through iut the world.

ACTIONS FOR LIBEL

If Judges certified oftener than they do, when a shil-
ling or a farthing damages is obtained in an action of
libel, we should not see the real business of Courts of
Justice so much interrupted by trumpery actions for
libel as of late years it has been. Juries ought to be
universally aware (and we have done what we could to
inform them on the subject), that where they think that
the damage which a plaintiff's charabter has sustained,
by what is called a libellous production, is amply repaid
by a shilling or a farthing, the expenses of the proceed-
ings on both sides—commonly called the costs--fall
upon the defendant, and may amount to two or three
hundred pounds. This is rather a severe fine for an
injury estimated at a farthing. But the Legislature
has lett it to the discretion of the Judge who tries the
cause, when damages so low as not to amount to forty
shillings are given, to certify that the plaintiff ought to
have no more Costs tban'damagets, by which means he
is obliged to 14i, his'owas law expenses, as every man
ought who speculates spots making the machinery of
justice instrumental to extortion. Judges, however,
have, until lately, so seldom' availed themselves of this
discretionary power, that it became nearly a dead let-
ter. What was the consequeoce ? Needy and adven-
turous attorneys—such men as have brought great dis-
repute upon a profession otherwise respectable—made
it a practice to instigate other needy and adventurous
persons lit themselves to bring paltry actions of libel
against newspapers, well knowing that, although Juries
should confine the amount of damages to a single far-
thing, yet the said attorneys would have enormous
bills of costs against the defendants, and would de-
rive no inconsiderable profits Irons the transaction.
They preferred to briag their actions against news-
papers, because they tonsidered such establi.h-
meats able to pay—or, as the expression goti,
in the slang vocabulary of the pettifoger," worth powder
and shot; and also because they believed the Judges
had, in general, a prejudice against the Press, and that
such prejudice would be of great assistance to them in
their sordid and'dishonest object. Bah Judges, and
Juries seem now " to. open their eyes" to the real charac-
ter of such proceedings; and, indeed, if Judges were-to
continue to shew the reluctance which they formerly
did to Certifying against costs in such cases as we h'ive
dersi ibed, it would make it necessary for Juries to returh
verdicts for defendants, instead of giving the other pant,. a
farthing damages, to prevent defendants, who ought
never to have been brought into Court, 'from being
ruined by law expenses.

EX PA RTC FREE IN THE MATTER OP BUItOESS.

Mr. MONTAGU said, that in this case, hiSll;eur's
predecessor had tholisht that thine 411UUld bt: a ree:-

en-e to the nester ; bat as all parties were stntious to
save that expense, it was wished now to take the opinion
of the C .net on the point bets-• en th ma Tree questrou
to he decided we, simply, whether a certain secus.• y
was a s tparate or joint security? It had been settled
that the holder of a separate security for a joint debt
was not obliged to sell that security before he proved
his debt. ais Honour would find this matter set at
rest in a case, rr Ex pane Peacock," reported in p. 27 of
the last Number of Glyn and Jameson. Sir John L-acb
had decided the case, and is appeal to Lord Eldon, his
Lordship confirmed that decision. The circumstances
of the present case were theset—Edmeads, A kins, and
Tyrrel were bankers, and creditors of two pers.!: s
named Burgess, who being interested as tenants in cons.
mon in certain premises, mortgaged them to thir
bankers as security for a debt bf 4,0001. due to .i.e
three—Edmeads, Atkins, and Tyrrel. The two liar•
gesses were indebted to the hackers altogether in a sum
of 20,000/. A Commission of bankruptcy issued, and
it was attempted to prove this debt of 20 0001. untie,
t'i.,t commission. The Commissioners, however, re-
jected the whole debt, in which they were clearly wrong ;
and after discovering their mistake, offered to admit a
proof of 160001. upon selling the security for 40001.
It was in consequence of this c ind act on the part of the
Commissioners that the present Petition was filed. Tne
Leat,ed Counsel said be understood the reason of tke
opt•osit out which was made to the appliccion was, that
.s between these parties it was a joint security, because
it was used j Only in the partnership, and was given as
a joint security between the parties. But what had this
to do with the mattes ? It was separate property, bo.
cause they were tenants in common; and was his
w lose Ifs seined y because the parties had used the ?so.
pert y as joint property ?
Mr. It se was proceeding on the other side, when
The Vice-CnANCCLLOR said, the simple question ',ere
was—whether this security was a joint or a separate
security ? Ater reading the deed, he was clearly
opinion that it ws“ a joint security, and the ease must
thertfcre fall tq the ground.

" I could wish that the Superior Chief and the Intendant and
other Chiefs, who have been the movers of the acts of Dictatorship
which have been passed in your city. might have the prudence to
separate themselves from this department ; and that the municipa:
Illy, as the legitimate representation of the people, would name
some Intendant to their satisfaction ; and that is case any of those
Chiefs should wish to remain in it, they shaU stay only as simple
citizens, since the division is conscious that th_ best republicans
have been iniatuated by the project of the Constitution of Bolivia,
and have even given it an impulse, believing that in it consisted the
security and lilac ty of the Republic. Tne division ktrovs no ene-
mies but those who oppose the liberty of their brethren. The di-
vision will respect and obey the orders of the Intendant elected by
the Municipality, as they have heretofore respected and obeyed the
orders of the legitimate Government.
• -

0 With this wish, I have the honour to offer, by my conduct to
the Illustrious municipality, the sentiments of respect and consklere-
tlon felt for them by the division under my command, Gun pre-
serve your Excellency. •
" The Conipte General JUAN FRANCISCO ELIZALDR."
It appears that ten days after the receipt of this letter,
a change was made in the Government of the City. An
odicial document, signed Miguel de Ansoategui, politi-
cal municipal chief of the canton, declares that in con-
sequence of the tinanim.ius election of General Lamar,
by acclamation, to the head of the department, after the
precipitate (bet of the former authorities,' General La-
mar, who at brst declined accepting, was made civil
and military chief, and Colonel Elizalde, commandant
at arms. The Municipality speak as if they had yielded
only to avoid a civil war ; but the people appear to have
desired the change.

-BR! STO L, Noy. 8.

Scarcely a night has passed, for the last time weitt,
without some robbery, or attempt at robbery,
within
this city and its neighbourhood. On Wednesday night
or Thursday naorning, the house of the ltev. W. Gray,
of Henbury, was broken open and robbed of property to
a considerable ansonot, principally wear in g apparel. Mr.
Gray being a member of the Bristol Astociatii n,vigoroos
steps were promptly adopted by offering a hand.omere.
ward, and engaging three or four active officers to disco-
ver the offenders. This had the desired effect, as oaf idly
siz men and four women were taken into custody, upon
whom, and in the premises they occupied, many of the
articles stolen from Mr. Gray were found. There wee
also found several articles which did not belong to
that Gentleman. but which remained to be,owned.
The above party, whose names ate William Williants,
Thomas Underwood, Henry Vowles, Joseph Jerikins,
John Hughes, William Childs, Martha Daly, Ellis
Miles, Ann Vowles and Elizabeth Peters, orki„,,ent
an examination yesterday, at Lawford's Gate Scotian,
House; when John Hughes, Wm. Childs, and Elizabeth
Peters were remanded, and the others fully committed,
to Gloucester gaol, by T. Daniel and H. W. Newman,
Bsqrs. The table and floor of the Justice Hall were
literally covered with liven and wearing apparel, foand
in the premises occupied by the prisoners, situated at
Lawrence-hill and the Dings; amongst which the llea.
T. 11. Wilkinson, of Abbot's Leigh, who recently had
his house broken into, di*coiered an old great coat,
torn and mutilated. Several other Gentlemen attended,
in hopes of finding their stolen property ; but in general
the mar ks were ao obliterated, that it was impossible to
discover any patta--Bristol Gazette.

CAN FERBURY, Nov. 8.

Tuesday morning a fi e broke out on the,preibises of
Mr. G. BAn'rox, at Pund, in the palish of Bast Peck-
ham. It was discovered about seven o'claik, and mes-
sengers wets instantly sent in all directions for assistance,
and an engine belonging to the Right Hoe.- Lord TOR.
RINOTON, one from Tunbridge, and another from
Branbtidge, were won on the spot. The Kent Fire
Office engine front this city, arrived about eight o'clock,
having been only 39 minutes on the road, a distance of
"eleven miles. The Norwich shortly follovictlafter wards.
There being plenty of water, ire enginet yeti enabled,
by playing on the buildings and stacks in tee attiolsbour-
hood of the fire, to prevent its further esoksim. It ori-
ginated in a Wheat stack, from which it communicated to
a quantity of peas and oats lying near, and then to a
hay barn full of hay, all of which Were .entirely de-
stroyed. The Barnes wese partly got udder by ten
o'clock, bot• were not entirely extinguished for some
hours after. No intelligence can be obtained respecting
the origin of the fire, which appears to be involved in
mystery; and it is much feared it was the work of
some incendiary, at a phosphorus box Intl matches were
found on the premises.
Wednesday sennight, the coast of this county was
visited by an influx of sea, which threatened the meat
awful consequences. The principal damage appears
to have been done at Margate, at which town the bath-
ing machines are kept on the sands, under the new
wall, and near the walk designed for the recreation of
visitors; not only was the walk in question destroyed,
but the site of it (a mass of chalk, the natural soil of
that part of the shore) deeply indented by the attidn of
the water. Several bathing machines were alsii dashed
ro pieces, and the fragments scattered in every direc.
don on the surface of the sea, which Loaded the
promenade in front of the beautiful rose of houses
at this .spot. A large collier, coal iadeo, lying
opposite Wright's hotel, with its bowsprit. wend-
ing over the walk, knocked down a great part
of the parapet wall ; a portion of the Wirer -peer
was inundated; and the steam vessels prevented
making their usual trip. On Thursday morning the
tide again was very high. Two steamers from London
were obliged to run for Ramsgate harbour in the even-
ing, whither they arrived.. At Ramsgate and Broad-
stairs the like effects were experienced ; at the former
town scarcely a vestige of the pier wa; seen Irons the
height of water, which, assisted by a northerly wind,
presented the most awful appearance. At Here Bay
the sea rose to a height of several fe t in the mar.hes,
and the greatest diffizalty was experienced in prevent-
ill the vessels in the rang g ing ashore. At Wes-silver
the spray dashed over the wall, and flooded the lead to
a considerable distance.

RETRACT OP A LITTAR FROM CAPTAIN COCK, OP THE
MOM DATED autumn, ocr. 9, 1827.
""On our passage from Alexandria in company wills
the Arab, we fell in with a Greek cruiser, and he chased
us for 36 hours upon a wind, until our main top gallant
sail split from head to foot, and the fore gaff broke
about 10 fret from the end ; it was then coming on
night and a heavy sea running, and my Commodore,
the Arab, parted company from me to make the best
°Ellis way. The Greek, who had been with us all
night then tacked, and stood after the Arab, who hove
is sight on the other tack, telling me at the same time
to follow him, but I thought it was time enough to
'answer the. Greek when he 'talked with powder and
shot—so I kept my reach, and is two hours I lost
'sight of them ; four days afterwards / went into Rhodes,
and waited four days for an Austrian convoy that, was
bound for Smytna, but they had been there three weeks,
and would not sail without a fair wind, which they were
not likely to get ter a month, so I sailed by myself and
got up to Smyrna the third day, but, fortunately for me,
it was blowing a very thick rainy squally weather, all
the way up the Arches. The Arab arrived 64 days
after me, and had been plundered three times from the
'time she left me, till the time she arrived here; besides
the Captain being hauled over a gun and beat, till they
actually took the skin off. his back. The depredations
which these pirates are committing in these seas cannot
be beard, without striking terror to the heart of the
!emit unfeeliag Christian. In England you do not know
the half of (he transactions which these fellows are
carrying on—how and in what manner I have escaped
is a mystery to myself and every body."

ATTWOOD V. MALL ANDOTIIARS.

This was an action brought upon three agreements
entered into between the plaintiff, who was the proprie•
tar of some iron.mines in Staffordshire, and the defend.
ants, for the sale of the mines for the use of the British
Iron Company, to recover the purchase money. to the
amount of 600,0001. The trial came on at Stafford
before Mr. Jdstice Littledale, and the verdict went for
the plaintiff.
Mr. CAMPILLL moved for a role to show cause why
the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial
granted. The principal ground upon which he rested
his application was, that one of the agreements received
in evidence on the trial was not properly stamped. The
deed in question referred to a clause in another deed,
and the question was, whether the two were not to be
considered as parts of the same deed, under the con•
struction of the stamp act? If the Court should be of
that opinion, it would be quite evident that the deed
would be informal, because it would contain a greater
numberof words than The amount of the stamp auiho-
rind. The Levied Counsel referred to the wordi of

DUMFRIES, Nov. 6.

Some years ago a swarm of bees which had escaped,
unobserved, feces the parent hive, were observed tlus-
tering about Hochla ns Church ; and before measures could
be taken to secure them, they disappeared. Their Queen,
it seems, had been-pioneering to find a suitable place of
location, and having discovered a small•cterice -in- the
roof, she immediately forctd her way into the interior.
There she found" room and verge" and thinkingthe place
suitable in every respect, she warned her witted sebjecu
'to advance, and pitch- their waxen tents betwixt the
roof and the ceilitg. This summons seas' at once obeyed
by the loyal insect, and for many a week, month, and
rear. they and their successots, down, perhaps, to the
ninth or tenth generation, maintained undisturbed pos-
session of what may be called the ga ret of the Church
Of Illoddam. In the spring and simmer, the cheerful
horn of their ceaseless industry was heard mil•gling
with the voice of psalms, and many remarks
.were
made on their sagacity, its reviving. as it *ere, site
days of feudalism,. when vanquished clansmen found
the church a sanctuary in every sense of the word,
and in periods of danger assembled th'eir "kinOced
within its pale,, as the only means of escaping
(ram the crimil .ised Sell death that awaited them.
Even the children 'respected what they termed the
" IKirt beet, and so far from killing or chasing
em (tom Rosen,Ro: not unfrequently helped them to
a meal, by gathering the wilding rose at a distance,
d leaving it in situations where it was sure .to be
• • nctured to good corpse before its hag, ance hid
• away. Thtis cherished, and protected, the bees
literally lived in clover, and were total strangers to that
poverty which is said to be characteristic of chinch mice.
Their wealth increased every sear, and although elf
minister might have justly chimed a tithe of the whole,
he was more disposed to give than take, and would at
any time have furnished them with a few pounds of sugar
had there been any occasion for such extraviganCe. But
his example, though lauded and apprtived of by many;
was not, unfortunately, followed by all; and we regret
to add, that very lately some miscreant or miscreants
audaciously broke through the roof of the Church. tor-
prised the bees while in a state of inactivity, and com-
pletely harried them out of house and hall. Conduct
so shameful has excited its the parish a general feeling
of indignation, and the Rev. Mr. Yorstoun, together
.with some cf the principal heritors, has offered a very
handsome reward to any pet son who will &cloy, the
names of the depredators.--Dusgrks Carrier.
