On Friday the venerable Archd-ea thx Owen, Chaplain-General to his lajestya tForces, wax buried a East Horiely, a small lniec g in eiarrey, wiihtheArs, bishop of CLanterbury preseiteed to bim.7 or 8 yeats ago. To this retired spot he urually withdrew during the autumn, and shut himself 6ut of the world, with his brotherinlaw, Mr. Beardmore, and bis nieces. The funeral was very prinate, an't onu fot,'although the distance from the uasronage to the church ap- peared between one -and two miles. 1lie>was not followedI by any'. friends, exceptla few poor men of th parish, .by Samuel hasthen, Esq., from Glocestershire, who marriedone of his nieces, by Johh Beardmore, Esq., of Canonhiury, at whose house he chiefly ralided the last IO years, and by lais only nephew, Joseph Beardrnore~Esq., from Devonshire.

Bible and A~issionary Societies, and half te remainder of his fortune, whicli is said to be upwards. of 100,0001., to his nephew, who is his s'oleniale relative, and wiom be eduicated himself. - The Chaplain-General w'as never married, and lhas probably always been a saving man, notwithstanding hi& charities; he possessed, inde~ed, peculiar habits, and thouigh be felt for others, he was himself a man of vast absteiniousness. and nersonal frugality. Jlis conversation was not less striking than hs appearance; it combined a perfect 'clearness and simiplicity of ex- -pression with a 'convincirng of the underitanding-qualities which ought always to be the resxttt of~. kniowledge and learning, though it .islalettably too frequently otherwise., Hlewas`i the East-Indies from aboit the year 1783to. 1793, fromi whence he returned by laud, end wValked a great part of the journey.

The Times, 1824-07-05T00:00:00

The rumour we mentionted on Saturday, of an appliea, tion having been made to this Government by Portugal for the aid of troops to preserve tranquillitv in the dom nions of His Most Faithful MdAJESTY, has since bee circulated wvith increased confidence. It is now said, not only that such an alpp'ication has been malce, but that it has bet-n accededl to by nur Cabinet, and that 5,000 IHanoverian auxiliaries (n ,t English) w.ill immediately be placed at the disposition of the King of Posi UGAL. Some curious particulars are further stated, vwhich tend greatly to elucidatethe causes that gave rise to thePortuguese application. NVe have reason fi;r believinig that they are not ef recent date, but that the origin of the tequest is to be traced to that situation in which the KING found Iimself, before those moven3ents of the QUEEN\ and Prince NIIGUEL had developed themselves, which had so nearly effected the KitNo's dethronement. It wvas then that His lost Faith- ful MTAJEsTv discovered the extent of his own danger, and that he had enemics within his own Palace wvho werc bent on his destruction. He immediately conveyed to England through the Ambassador, a representation of the intrigues, w,hich had been set on foot; and, in consequence of the per- sonal peril to which he was exposed, solicited the fulfilment of that clause in the treaty between the tvo countries by which England stipulates to supply troops for his protection. The English Cabinet being decidedly in the pursuit of a pacific policy, declined taking a step of this nature without previously consulting the Allied Powers, and despatches were accordingly transmitted to the different Courts to ascertain their sentiments. In the mean time the events occurred which had so neatly placed His Most Faithful MIAJEsTybeyond the reacihof ali foreign assistance. 'I'hough now reinstatcd in his fuill powers, the QUEEN removed from Court, and Prince INTIGUEL sent on his travels, the Ki XG continues too sensible to the perils of the storm he has cncounteretl, to feel perfectly at his ease, anti has therefore renewed his foramer solicita- tien. Fortunately for him, it is discovered in the in- terimn that the measure, so far from encountering any opposition from the members of the Holy Alliance, obtains their mnost cordial acquicicence. antI no farther obstacle therefore remains to the consent of England. The reso- lutioni of the Cabinet, we understand, is to be carried into efkct with the least delay possible. We bear that Portugal havittginlthe first instance asked for Englishtroops. encoun- tcred a positive refusa', until th. expedient presenttd it- self of substituting Ilanoverian auxiliarie-.

TO THIE EDITOIfF THE TIMES. Sir,-In common with many thousands of proprietors resident at a distance from town, I have to thank you for your communiication of the late meeting of this highly respectable institution. As so many of your readers may be interested, allow mne to suggest the expediency of reverting to the old rules of this society, under which a division of profits was allowed to take place, whenever the excess capital mnight admit of such a division. Such was the plan till within a few years, when a resolution was adoptcd for making adivision every tenth year. The injustice of this resolution towards the older pohl. ies is manifest, because as life advances the chance of its prolonga. tion for so long a period becomes considerably reduced; and the great- cr probability is, that the proprietor who has contributed for many years must lose the beneft which should attach tohim,when the mo- dern policies on younger lives mnst thereby partake of an increased bonus. In answer to this, it will be said a policy under seven years cannot partake of a division of profits, and that the old po- licies have a per centage per annum, allowed in addition to the bonus already declared. But these advantages will be found by no means to compen6ate for the loss, as the per centage allowedl is a mere trifle compared with the expectant share of profit. It will not amount to more than a fourth part of such share: the injustice, therefore, to the old proprietors is very inconsistent. If any new regulations are to be proposed, I would take the Ri. berty of recommnending a reduction of remium upon all policies of a certain date; as it appear6 an injudicious plan to be taking a considerable premiumz fmons the old proprietors, to be invested in the 3 per cents, atpar, for the purpose of a divisionto take place when thev mav he 0 ,sr Pernt Ina~rr T re niM. wiih o--e '-pr YOUR CONSTANT READER.

* c n1ave reccevedl a set of tee ero d. P'atri a tEaMna paper, to the 24th of January. These papers contain very little that is in- teresting, except the melancholy certainty whiich they furnish of thc! progress of revolutionary virulence in that unhappy country, and ot e the studied persecution whh thc European l'ortugu ese there e- rience from some rebellious subiects of the King our Sovereign. We can assure omr readcrs, that the sound and respectable part of our Brazilian brethsenl etest these proceedines, and sigh for the re-esta- blishment of the legitiniaje authority, without which there can never be repose or happiness in that otherwise so highly'favoured country. Some sin5 persons, following the first impressions of their own pre cal, sufferel themselves to be persuadeed, that the events at Rio de Jane;ro. in the month of N'ovember. when his Rxiyal High ness Prince Don Pedro dissolved the so-called Constituent anti le- gislative Assembly, was the first step towards recognizing, in the face of the whole world. the sacred and inalienable rights of his august Father and Sovereign. obering the voice of nature and the law of religion, and of the enuntry in which he has his pattimony which is the cradle of his Roval progenitors. and the inhabitants of I which, aerustomed to the mild swav of that illustrious house. joy- fully held out their arms to him. and hailed him as the future heir of ihc throne and of the rittues of hiis incomparable and most benign F..rher.
