The fall of the iiperial tirone in France, in 1814, was of coturse the termination of the power and distinction which he held under it; but by his marriAge into the royal bouseof Bavaria, he hadl secured himself an asylum which wvas denied to some of the other branches of the Bu ONA- PARTE family. The influence of this connexion, probably, more than his own inclination, kept him from joining the ex-ErPERoR on his return from Elba; anm since 1815, he could only distingruisli himself as a German Prince, with a most minute fraction of sovereignty, in a country vhere sapreme power has probably reached its minimum of divi- sion. It is said that to the last he maintained the same character, andl commanded the same respect, which attend- ed him in. his more elevated fortune.

" KILLTBEGS, Dee 2a, 18,23. From the 11th to the 14th instant it blew a tremendous gale of wind. I was fortunate enough to get shelter in Broadbaven. On. the 15th, as I went out, I perceived that some vessel had been wrecked, but, from the state of the weather, agd the heavy ses, was not enabled to inake oat who or what she -was, and not ntLtil the 24th, whers I was o?f the samepart of the coast arain, I was informr ed, and sawa-part of a ship's tgagazipe,' ivith' tne name " Arab'; marked orit Iwhi6h-'ivis picked tip, and left no doabt or mv mind that it wvas his I\ajesty's ship Arab, amrd from every acconnt I could procare. am induced to believe that every person On board had pe- rished, particularly as nnne of her crepv. or any other shipwrecked persons, had arrived at-or near Broadhaven." The Arab moauted 18 guns, and was commanded bv Captain W. Holmes. The loss of this ship has produced very general and poig.. n?nt grief in Cove aand its vicinity, for she wds so long on this sta-' tion that most of the crew became connected with many families in. that neih,bbourhood.

The Fifth Report of the C...
The Times, 1824-02-07T00:00:00

The Fifth Report of the Committee of the Society for the Improvement of Prison Discipline has been published; and we hope that the extracts which we make from thence to-day will serve to excite rather than satisfy curiosity, and introduce the work to all the friends of humanity. lVe first looked to it with some anxiety, in order to learn whether, as in the case of another society, there were any officers or managers professing to act gratuitously for the charity in one character, and receiving sums of money for services rendered, or said to be rendered, in another; but there are none such. The part which we have extracted to-day relates to a contested subject-that of tread-mills; and we really and conscientiously think with the report, that, under proper restrictions, the introduction of them when confined to men chiefly, if not exclusively, must be useful. If every man had learnedl a trade which he could and would exercise in prison, it were best that each shouldc work at his own trade. But many not having learned any trade, and com - paratively few trades being practicable in a prison, either general idleness must ensue, or some system of machinery like that of the tread-mill, which needs no learning, and can include all, must be introduced. Indeed, we should think a healthv prisoner, though he may not fret grievous- ly and think himself ill-used, would be unconsciously more happy under the labour of the tread-mill, than in a state of stagnation and idleness: as some men in common life com- plain heavily of the pressure of business, but are yet more miserable out of it. The case of women is different: all women, speaking generally, have a trade, even when they enter the prison-- that of the needle-which may also be universally practised in a prison. lVe think, therefore, that whenever work of this kind can be procured for them, or they can find it for themselves, they should not be subjected to the tread- wheel. Incorrigibly idle or refractory women may be shut into it for a time; but in its application to the female sex, it should rather be use-l as a prison punishment, than a prison employment. The Magistrate also, upon canviction, mayhavethe power, if besee fit, of directlycondermning to it.
Covent-Garden Theatre.
The Times, 1824-01-26T00:00:00

Addison's tragedy of Cato wis "1 revived." as the phrase is, at this theatre on Saturday night, for-the purpose of introducing Alr. Young in the principal character. As to the merits of this play now, there exist hardly two opinions,. Addison had neither the passion nor the feeling of a consiaerable .poet; and about dramatic writing, heknew bLbsolutely nothing: stillthe cltcumstances under which the piece was written, gave itfa celebrity when it f.rst appeared, and the late Air. Kemble, while he had the ear of the;town, persuaded them sometimes to come and see it. - Mfr. Young's perfornance of Cato rather adds to than lessens his reputation. He does ius tice to that. chasteness of style and loftiness of sentiment which are the chief points of real merit in the tragedy; and a cer- tain sententiousness of mander, which is a fault in his general act- ing, rather aids the effect of what he docs in this ch; racter. His best scene was that with the Senate: in the soliloquy he was rather too declamatory. But the play'went off, upon the whole, something heavily: and the house was not to full as we have lately seen it. COVENT-rGARDE2V- TRERAY'RE.

A Portsmoutih paragraph informs us, that AnsAs, the Admiral appointed by FERDINAND VIL to-take the com- mand of the squatlron destind-d for Soutlt A:merica, has been conveyed -by a-British steam-vessel to Cadiz. As the steam ship was, we suppose, engaged in the orainary ser- vice of a passage boat, her-Captain wvould not, of course, be very nice in inquiring into the character or business of his passengers; we shall therefore only wish him on other oeasions a worthier freight than this Commander of the Serviles. It will be seen by the same account, that the Spanish squadron " was far, fram being in a condition "c to go to sea." How? then, are they to arrive at the wished- for condition? Manifestly not by an outlay of Spanish money-of a non-existing fund ! French gold1, perbaps; but French gold for such a purpose is contraband-it sub- jects the vessels uapon which it will have been expended, to capture by the squadronts of the United States, whose PRE- SIDEN has just dennunced, as an act of hostility, assistance by- any European Powr& to Spain against South America, given under " any,form." There is likewise an English squadron, not a tbousand miles from Cadiz. What will Sir H. NEALE, in the Revenge, have been iustructed to say to Admiral ARIA8 i This is an interesting question.

M5r. TIXXEY moved, that the receiver of, a WVest Indisestate, the subjectof this cauAse, sbould apply the sum of 5001., part of the pro- ceeds of that estate now in his hands, towards the payment of the first incumbrancer's charge. The order for the apyointment of a receiver directed that the rehts and lirocceds of the estate should be disposed ot' by him from time to time in discharge of the various in- cumbranees, according to their priority. -Mr. STEPHrEN opposed the motion on the part of another incum- brancer, whose claim, although not prior in point of time, was en. titled to precedence by virtue ofthelocal laws OfSt. Vtincent's, whbere the estate in question was situated. By those laws, persons iurnish- ing supplies necessary for the management and cultivation of estates acquired, ipso facto, a lien upon such estates, superior to that of any previous incumbrancer. He (MIr. Steplhen) had an affidavit that such necessary supplies had been f'urniahed by two parties for wlhom he appeared in the course of the last year; and therefore, althoigh they were in point of fact the second and third incumbrancers, they claimed to be entitled to a priordischai-rgein respect of these supplies. The VICE:-CHAZCELLOR thought that this charge only applied to a preceding year. Mltr. STEPHiEN replied, that such was the law tlrougliout the whole of the Leeward Islands. He .yas instructed to move that the Court might direct the Master to inquire whether supplies had been furnished to the estate. and the amount of the charges in respect thereof; and whether such charges were, by the law ot St.Vincent's, entitled to a previous discharge. The VIoE-C sssesELaLci-saidIhe should w ake the *order not in the termi prayed for, hut to the same effect : for if the law were as stated, there would be no occasion for taking an account ef the sup-. plies. He shouldl therefore order the Master to inquire -whether thesecond and third incumbrancers had any demand uipon the estate in respect of supplies furnished, and wvlhether sueh demands were entitled to satisfaction prior to those of any other incum- brancers. Thus both the questions g issue wvould be settled by one report. The first seal was finished, and some causepetitions heard. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, SATURDAY, JAN. 24. BUTLER AWD ROBIrNSON.
