That ship, it appears, sailed from Cadiz on the i0th of rFebruary, with specie. bound to Bareelona; and a port of France. No further in- tclligence that can be relied on,hai.been "neeivet on the subJect. We understand that great alarm subsists aTmong the French merchants and manufacturers of silk, it conse- quence of the reduction of duty in this country, as they conceive the English will now be able' to enter into success- ful competition with them even hiiFratice itself. 'This alarm appears to us to be far more reasonable than that re- cently expressed by the manufacturers and importers in Great Britain. In consequence of the reduction of duty, it is said that preparations are making, on a large scale, to extend the manufacture of silk in Manchester andl other places. It is said that the daily average of assents to the reduc- tion of 4 per cents., is to the amount of about 6,000,0001. It will be seen,by an advertisement in our paper of te- day, that Al. Hurtado, the .nei Aagtit. of the Colombian. (Governinent, has, in the name.of the Republic, offered to renew the bonds which were . gi.eu by, the late M. Zca, whose agreement with the contractors of' the Colombian loan the Congress at first disputed, on the ground that Z?a had exceeded his powers. This dct of juStice and good faith on the part of a Govemient recently established, contrasts strikingly with the contluct and principles of the old legitimate monarchy to which the territory of the new republic was formerly subject.

COVES T-ArCDrN THEATRE.---Nir. Charles Kemble!s benefit took place last night; and whetier it was owing to the at- traction of Al ndame Catalani's naLme in thebills, or to' the popula- rity of the actor, or (which is the more likely) to both there causes combined, an ore crowded audience never filled this house. For some days past there was not a single seat to be had even in the top circle of the boxes. So early as five o'dock, tbe doorswere beset by numbers; and when they were throwvn open, the rush Was tremend- ous. ln a few minutes the pit was thronged to suffocation-so mucb so, that many individuals were obliged to bedrawnup inte the boxe3 who were unable to withstand the pressare. Nor was the tbrong in. ferior in the lobbies about each of the box doors, such was the ea. gerness to obtain even a glimpse of the - stage. The performances commenced with the comedy of AU in the Wrong ,j which, how. ever, owing to the deafening noise which pervaded both pit and gal. leries, proceeded for some tinme in dumb show. Mr. Charles Kemble at length came forward to solidt the silence of the audience. Some person baving spoken to him from the pit, he said that "1 being informed that it was the wish of the gen. tlemen in the pit that the comedy should recommence, he had ereat pleasure in complying with thatwisb." The pertormance wai accordinIvl bega de no, but the noise continued. Mr. Kenible. 1--*y se s rcivio mscivensbbornm5aean-Mey tvere'peraece at lioerty to take their money and le'vexhe house. 8uch as did 'no choose to do that, wouln hetrusted,incommof courtesy-allow tbost who were tdesirous to hear the performance an opportunity of doing so by being silenrt." Notwithstanding that this address was hialled with loud cheering, it nevertheless failed, irn a partial degree, to re. store order, and the firstactpassed over in pantomime, in consequence of the continued cries (certainly of but a few ill-conducted persons in the gallery) of " Catailni." At lenzth the curtain feU, and rose again instantly, when the whole vocal corps of the theatre appeared upon the stage, and Air. C. Kemble led on Aladame Catalani auidst the most rapturous burst of plaudits and waving of hats in every quarter of thc house. She immekiately'sang "Rule Britannia" in hier usual transcendently brilliant and powerful manner; and was obliged to repeat it in compliance with auniversal shout of "e ncore." The comedy then proceeded with a considerable degree of order, and was wel and spiritedly sustained in all its parts. At its ronclusion . adame Cata ani again appeared, and sang " GoDd save the Kin twice over, with, iftpossible, increased eWect, and retired amidst ttse most rapturous cheering. 7lre Altarriage of Fig-iro followed, in which Mliss Paton sustained the character of Susanina with undi: minished success. TheL following letter wag yesterday morning posted at L " HisMajesty's ship Astrea, Falmouth, MIarch 29.

WHITEHANEN, March 29.-The Speedwell, Graham, from Creetown to Liverpool, was seen to- go dowis near the Banks, Liverpool, and all on board were drowned. We understand that Lord Coleraine (well known as Colonel Hanger) died quite suddenly yesterday-morning. He vwas seized with a violent fit of sickness during brtakfast, and expired al. most instantly. It is stated that Lord Gifford is- actualy appointed Mlaster of the Rolls, and wilx be sworn in on Saturday. He will take upon himself the duties of that office immediately afterwards. It has been supposed that there is so precedent of a Peer fiUing that office, bit that is an oversight; there is a precedent for it in the gerson of Lard Bruce, of Kinross, a Scots Peer. who came from Qcotlaud with Jamnes I., and flUed that office to the time of his death, which happened on the 14th. of January, 1610. And also of John Lord Culpepper, in the reign of Charles 1.; he was a Peer of the realm. SiR THOMAs PLUIXER, THE MASTLIn OF THE ROLLS.- Yesterday morning, a few minutes afterlO': the remains of Sir Thomas Pluner, late Master of the Rolls,;-whl expired at the Rolls' House at-half-past eight o'clock last Thursday evening, were de- posited in the Rolls' Chapel, in a vaulf_ippropriated to that pur- pose so long ago as the year 161, when the body of Richard Aling. ton, Esq., who married a sister of the then Master of the Rolls, as therein interred, on whose coffin thatof Sir Thomas Plumer is now laid. The last Master of the Rolls wbie died in the office was Sir Thomas Sewell; he was buried in the year 1784 on the coffin of Sir Joseph Jekyll. Lady Sewell, widow of Sir T. Sewell, by her own exprems desire, was buried there also, on the 26th of September, 1820. Lord Alvanley, who had been Master of the Rolls (then Sir Richard Pepper Arden), but who was Chief Justice of the Commoon Pleas, and a Peer of the realm when he died, was buried in this vault also, by his own express desire. This event hiappened Mlarch 26, 1804. In the Stock Exchange yesterday, a large loaf of black bread was exhibited in that part of- the market appropriated to the transaction of bargains in Spanish Bonds, with an inscription be- neath it-"' Bread for the King of Spain.t DiABOLICAL OUtTRAGE.-It is w1ith feelings 6f great emotion we andiouncd another deed of sgrestion, which nothing but the intervention of a kind and mercfu Povideiice d hane prevented from equalling iri blood and hoirbr the rnurrerous cat. trephe of tha wretched Shces.
