The Times, 1824-06-05T00:00:00

We have received by an extraordidaxy conveyance the Gazete of Madrid of the 27th of May. It confirms all the news from Lisbon, which we gave in ourlast number of yesterday. The news from Mexico of the 20th: of February represents that capital, as well as the-whole country, to be in co2nplete anarchy. The trooprof l1bat have menaced to pillage Mlexico, if they did not pay them what was due. They gave them 20o,0O0 piasters, fur- nishedby the English, on which they werc again quiet. varioats bands ot troops are flving. about the country, and have pillaged a courier, carrying 8Is000 piasters. A letter. frotm San Jago de Chili, of the 12th of January, states that the Royalist army have got so great an ascendancy over our troops, that a great vanic has taken place, an; they have been beaten in everyyaffai.r. Our coast is blockaded by the privateers of the Royalists, which have already taken 10 vessels. t is said that Valparaiso ana Lima are blockaded. FREN'CH PAPERS. MADRTD. A1AY X.

The Times, 1824-08-14T00:00:00

A great, and we are inclined to think, an undue im- portance, has been given by somae of our cotemporaries to the late attempts at disorder amnong the Negroes of Ja- maica. It now appears, that wherever the disturbers of the public peace were found, they vere instantly overpowered. The whole " insurection," as they call it, had dwindled downi to ain escape of 50 wretched slaves into the rmoun- tains; and the only proof of danger to the Government al- leged by the alarmists is, that some of the most forward among these desperadoes had resolved to take tieir own lives, rather thaii be again reduced to a state of bondage.
Oil Gas Company.
The Times, 1824-06-21T00:00:00

TO THE EDITOR OF TIE TIMES. Sir,-A few weeks back I was induced to subscribe to an Oil-g.lS Company, to be established. in London,-and which I was ledto sup_ pose was numerously ;and tespectably supported by subscribers to a capital of 500,0001. The bil for incorporating the Company being rejected by the house, I observed a meeting of the subscribers ad- vertised for Thursday. On attending it, I was much surprised to find that insteat of several hundred subscribers attending, which might reasonably have been expected from an alleged subscription for 500,0001., the whole number, including committee, trustees, se- cretaTies, solicitors, &c, did not amoant to 30. It was proposed that the projected Company should be carried on under a deed of settlement, in which 16 persons were to be directors, 5 trustees, 3 auditors, and I secretary.24 officers in all. It was objected that theneeting, not being calledfer appointing officers, it would be but decent that the other proprietors (if any) should be consulted on that specific purpose, but 24 being the majoritv of 30, they proceeded to appoint themselves into the said offlces. I think it but right thatthe public should understandI how these Companies are got up, and the offces appropriated, and I should therefore be much oblited bv an msertion ot the present in yeur valuable jousnal.

The annual fin:nce accouats, vTaich have been distributed to the MIembers of the House of Commons, do not show so fattednga re- sult in (he statements concerning trade and navigation as the laa.. guage of 31inicters on the subject had led us to expect. For the last three years the amount of the mercantile shipping registered, and of the sP-Amen employed in navigating them, has been notvcry considerably, but yet sensibly, dinninishing.

Mr. CMNNING'S Visit to Ireland would possibly not have taken place, had " noses been couutid" on it, as a Cabinet measure.

Mr. CANNING'S presence on the spot must furnisl hlim with opportunities, of which nointelligent and searching mind can fail to take advantage, for acquir- ing much useful knowvledge of Ireland and her politics, and for laying the groundwork of opinions, and possibly mea- sures more determinate in their character than any that ,the iRight Hon. Gentleman has yet ventured to countenance by his Vote. We are apt to believe that the labours andi reports of the Irish Committee will be of such a nature as to justify, andl very powerfully to support, the Parlia- mentary friends of a sound system of national policy for Ireland, in grappling directly with grievances now in course of development, which the tactics of former sessions led the least comprotnising statesmen, instead of entertaining them as fit matter for legislation, to deprecate, even as topics of discussion. If 3.r. CAN NINO'S visit to Dublin should do no more than fully impregnate his mind with suclh proofs and illusfrationsof the state of Ireland as theCommittee of Inquiry have got. hold of, it will have gained to the cause an able ehampion, and will have effectedl a lasting good.

Macadamizing Mania.
The Times, 1824-10-29T00:00:00

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIAIES. Sir,-The advocate of the new plan of street-mating, or rtethei Cj the modified revival oftbt old plan,in your paper aC this day, adnmis the imperfections of the said revired plan, but cornparlng it with tbe usual pavemnent, he thinks of two evils he choo",ea the least. I think verv much otherwise; and before the inhabita nts of the inetrolis sufier the granite pavement which has beeza laid down at the cost of many handred thousand pounds, to be torn up and broken i{to little bits, Ibeseech them to pause, and consider the difference between open country roads, wnere the plan succeeds to adniirntioN, and the smoky dirty streets of London. I grant, that after the loose kisobs arc partially worn down, and rubbed into a mass, heries and carriages make their way over them smoothly, and without noise, and here the advantages end. Nowr, let us look to the other side. Continual attention s' necessa;y in mending, and scraping, aud sweeping the streets, to render them at all endurable; the houses and inhabitantsare enveloped in cloudg of dust, or besineared with mud, according to the season. Neitherman, wonana, nor child can cross the street in wet weather witbout wading through mnud, and rendering their feet and habitations dirtv, wet, and uncomfortable; while on erdinary pavement tbey can piek theh? wa even where crosirngs are not provided or thestreets wellaswee ant avoid dirt and the ills wet feet are heirs to. The grievance to pedestrians more than counterbalances the a&d vantages Yielded to the few who move in carriages Besides tOais, the radidfty of the wear,rendering continual repairs necessary, afferds a never-failing supply of missiler for iuischievous boys to pelt one awother with, and to break windows. The comparative silence vrith wbich horses and carisageso pot through the mud or dust of these streets is dwelt upon as a. great ad- vantage: but is not a certain degree of noise a proper awceenpaniniebt to the rapid movements of hcrset and carriages in cro,sded dries ? It is not too much to expect that many lives will be sacrificed ta this notable advantage. I subnit, however, to those who tbink the balance of advantages lies on the side of lacadamizing London streets, if any disinterested. persong there be who so think. that they ought at any rate to let the expensive pavements recently laid down do their worn, and teed re- pair before they demolish them. This wish I expresr. from witness- ing the devaRtation which is making- in Regent-street. The ins habitants there are scarcely relieved from the annoyance incident VA forming the most noble and expensive granite pavement in the mze tropolis, sad which was done after paving first with large blockas of' carved granite, than they are compelled to submnit to a new eultio sion fronm the approach to their house, and to contribute to new es- pense,to gratif' a fancy for running into an opposite extremue. in. breakig up the new and comnpact pavement into a bed of shine!en.

Mr. MOR1ER, it is said, wvill take out. with him cre(lentials as a Minister Plenipotentiary, although the pe- riod of his assuming that character will depend on the actual situation in which the country may be placed. Should he consider, hereafter, that the Government is firmly established, the powers intrusted to him may be immediately put in force, without the delay that would ne- cessarily arise from writing home for further instructions. The high diplomatic character of Mr. MORI3R, and the terms on which he has undertaken the present mission, are calculated ts give copfldence to those connected wi.th AMexico,.who cannot fail to consider his appointmenrt as one step in advalnc by this country towards the acknow i ledgment of independence.

Letters from MlladridI of the 10stli inst. state, that SANTA CRUZ, the ex-Minister of El'ar, and the officers arreste(d with hinm, remained closely imprisoned. 'I'hc ex-Minister, who is in ill health, had sent an adflress to the KING, accompanie(d by certificates from his physicians, begging to be remnoved either to an hospital, or to his own house. His rcquest had been forwar(led to the Kia, wliho was then at St. Ildefoinso, from wvhence the C'ourt was expected to remeve to the Escurial on the 2-2d. FERDINAND was labouring under an attack of the gout, but still transactedl public business, which was chiefly confined to the distributioIn of or(ders an(d crosses, amiong the foreign Ambassadors. rhe Duke of VILLA HERMIOSA, Spanish Minister at Lisbon, has been honoured with the Grand Cross of the Order of' CHARL.ES I '1., for his late con(luct in that city. These letters communicate littlc on the state of Spain gene- rally, whlich is well knownl- to ba in the most (dc- plorable state possible, especially in those pla:'es which are without French troops. It grows more evidenit (aily, that nothing short of distribuitioni of soldicrs over the whole kingdomn, for whici the cntire Frenlch arnmis scarcely a(le- quate, can secure the tranquillity of that wrettched( couni- try. Deputies ha(l arrivcd at Madrid from (ordova and otlher citics of the first order, to solicit the presenec of Frcinelh garrisons for the preservation of the public peace, the beneficial effcets of which they ha(l witnessed in cther plac s, and werc anxious to enjoy similar protection.
