French Occupation Of Spai...
The Times, 1824-10-19T00:00:00

ve have frequently had occasion to notiec the imnpediments to English colllmlerce resulting from the occupation of Cadiz by the French, wilo, it seems, not only ht1l1 milit-arv possession, but con. duct the whole civil administration of that city. The letters received yesterday from Cadiz, which are dated the 2f,th ult., furnish the particulars of another case, execssively injurious and vexatious to those concerned, and, if meant to be adopted as a general rule et contuct, likely to interpose a serious obstacle to the commercial in. tereanirse with the bost port of trade in Spain. The Wiliam, an English vessel, wMas chartered a few weeks back, by a nmrcantile establishment in Glocester, to preceetI to Oporto for a Part cargo of the wine of that cisttrict, with instructions to complete the freitht by taking in Spanish wioes at Cadiz. At Opsrto the order was fultilled: but on entering the bay of Cadiz to obtairn the remiainder of the cargo, the vessel was visited by an officer from the Board of Health. and the macter iniformed that he would not be perrritted to et ter either to take in or to unload freighlt, inasntuch as it had been re- ported that an infectious fever had broken out in d1ifferent pLrts ot' Portugal. It was in vain the Captain protested that this was not the case, the orders of' the of0icer were per- emptory, and hle refused to refer any statement on the sub- ject to his superiors. It is well-known that Portu?al is a remsark. ably healthy country, and no intelligence has been receivedi in Enr- land of the brealting out of an infectious disorder in any part of it. The Captain of the MiMaet, fin2ding his personal representations unattended to, appealed to the British Consal, to whom he statedl his case, and a correspondencA! took place betwye"n the Consul and the Boarti of Health on the subject, (which the owners will probably lay before thc English Secretazy lbr Foreign, Aff:irs), bht without arn" cffect. Tbe Board of Healtlh, whicls is understood to be completely under irench influence, not only distuissed tihe cordnlaint, btut re- fusedl to allow th. W illium to perform quarnLtine, iandi sent a per. etrptory order for the vesiel to quit the bay, whichi she accor;d. ingly did, andl is now on hier voyage home. deficient of thie required 2rcighit.

The Times, 1824-11-03T00:00:00

The news from Pernambuco, which we gave yesterdav, would seem to charge the Captains of two English vessels stationed off that place when it was takenL by the Imnperial forces, withi a partial kind of neutrality ; as, that they took on board and protected CARVAt.n 0, the leader of the anti- Imperial party, but refitsedl to admnit some Englislimen vwho claimed similar protection. We confvss that were we in the place of those CaptamRis, we should be lotlh to de- liver up to massacre a person whlo had been once received. The refusal to admnit Englislh fugitives requires a more particular exp]anation.

The French papers of Tuesday, which arrived last night, are entirely destitute of political information. The follow- ing are extracts:- (From fhe Etoile, dated Wednesday, Nov. 24.) " AIADRID, Nov. I8. " The King and all the Royal family are still at the Escurial. Yesterday a funeral service for the repose of the soul of his Majesty Louis XVIII. was celebrated in the Royal Church of St. lsidore. " The King, unwilling that any of the services which were ren. dered him during the reign of crime, should remain unrecompeased, and inmpatient to testify his Royal gratitude to such of his faithful subjects as have combatted the perfidious enemies of the altar and the throne, orders that every individual who thinks he has a title to hlis favours, shall present within a month the claim he thinks he can make. A Royal Ordinance oidera the Camara to make a Vtrict search2 aftcr persons who, enjoying ecclesiastical benefices, still continue to wear the secular habit. Hia alJesty de- crees that in this matter the Canons of the Council of Trent be taken as a rule. " The Alinister of War has transmitted to the Director General of the Artillery the orders of his llajesty, that the number of workmen shall be increased in all the mianufactories of arms, and especially in those at Oviedo and Corunna. General Don Juan Dovwnie has been mentioied with particular praise in the Madrid Gazette, for having displayed extraordinary zeal and activity in the organization of the Royal Volunteers of the province of And.alusia.

The proceedings in the Ho...
The Times, 1824-05-25T00:00:00

Thp proceedings in the House of Commons last night, with respect to Incorporated Companies of Assurance or Insurance, though but short, are very interesting, and we will add, must prove highly satisfactory to the public. These companies being incorporated, may sue or besued through their treasurer: but in case of a verdict obtained, or of claims existing against them, what or whose property is to be answerable for the demand ? The reply now is..- the property of alithe individuals composing the Company, whose names are to be enrolled at the Stamp-office, and upon any one of whom the plaintiff may fasten for satisr fying his demands, in case he think the subscribed funds of the Company insufficient. Mr. HusaIssoN promises that to bill for a new Insurance Company shall pass the House without a clause to that e&ect: and the individuals com- posing the nation have certainly a right to expect the pro- tection here promised from their Government. Nothing can be so unjust as for a few persons abound- ing in wealth, to offer a portion of their excezs for the for- mation of a company, to play With that cxcess-to lend the importance of their whole name and credit to the society, and then, shoald the funds of the incorporated body prove insufficient to answer all demands, to retire into the secu- rity of their unhazarded fortune, and -leave the bait to be devoured by the poor deceived fish. M-r. EIUSrISSON'S proposed clause will prevent this mischief. It will proba- bly diminish the number of the incipient insurance com- panies, but it will increase the security and respeetability of those which shall be established.
Supply Of Water.
The Times, 1824-08-19T00:00:00

TO THE EDITOR OF TUEB TIMES. Sir,-The inhabitants of the metropelis are nmuch interested in a question relating to the defective supply of water wltich at present occupies the public mind, Whilst the water-workis of Londoe.. bridge were in operation, the pipes from the New River Compnny were constantly supplied day and ?it' t; but imsmediardytbebhfrnrer ceased, the New River Company alleged they bad not waterenoitgh to rupply the entire demand day and night, and have ever since ordered their itirneocks to turn off the water about five or six o'cloei every evening. T'hose inhabitants who, relying upon the former constant supply, were unprovided witb cis- terns. have experienced the greatest inconvenience-an inconveni- ence to wrhiich, as mere leaseholders, or tenants at wilL, they ought nOt to be subjected for the sole purpose of ertabling the Nrie River Companv, by a deviation fiom the accustomed anti long-pre- vailing modle of supply, amounting almost to a legal prescriptior, to enrich themselves. But whatever. may be tde case in referetce to mere private inconvenience, the danger lo propertypnd to the public is great in the extreme. Suppose every flowse in a 1haputlous distict, rxgrntifi that of Cripple,nse, furnished with a moderate-sized cis. tern, vtat use would they be of to stop the raivages of a fie? Alu(h mnischief has already occurred; ,nd if some mezsures zre not im?ne- diately devised to counteract th;e avarie of the New River Company, wfhole streets my, and probablv will, be burned' dowr danvng the ,r,:inlP ins.

But,these are not the onl, sources of amusemnent to which the public have had invitationsin Spring-gardens. Some of the most ex-raordinary productions of nature. :nd the moss ingenious specimens of art, have there been exhibited, and levied, in their turns. no slight con- tributions ucon the purses of the carious.

We visited them last night, and thiink them not aslo.etlherunwortbyof that name. Signor Cucchiani,the exhibiter, is trom Rome; and we thougght, on seeing his prospectus, that, like so-;ne others fromii the same quarter, he was cisposed to draw somewhat largely upon the credulity of John Ball; ftr who, we usk, (born out of Irelanrd), would not have been staggCred at being promeired a sighl of the Invisible Jeweller ? This was not all; tlherc wcre besides, the *- Inseparable Bolls," - the Incosaprehensi- ble Dance," and - the Irresistible Calculation." All these did Signor Cucchiani Dromiiise, aind to do him justice ha kept Ili9 word. We did actually scC the invisible ieweller-were nmade acquainted with the "sinicomprelhensible dtance"-and got the beuer of the " irresistible calculation." But Signor Cuc- chiani's feats did not rest here. Bv means of his " invisible lew- eller," he changed some shillings hitto golden sovereigns.
