Among the donations recorded in oar columns of today for the relief of the Poor, one will be found which must have emanated from a truly English heart, 'and which sets an example above all price. This widest emblem of patriotism adds to the graceful. tress of: his gift by withholding his name but with his Willey he gives an admouition to his country Men, equal in literary merit, at this crisis, to. one of the - golden rules of PYTHAGORAS. The donation is given in these terms;—" A voluntary penalty for indulging in a month': excursion on the Continent, stl2s." Let us entreat all those who are . absentees from their country from choice, and not necessity, to weigh well the extent of the mischief they are actively employed in disseminating : they are, in fact, most , unfairly, sad, we may add, dishonestly, increasing the burdens' of taxation and poor-rates of those who are left at Stowe, either from patriotic Motives or the more im perious injunctions of dety ; and this observation ap ;plies with tenfold force to those who are squandering i n foreign parts what was acquired by the blood and s weat of Englishmen, and wrung, we fear, he too ' many instauces, from English industry and skill, by severe task-nsasters, whose earnings are thus most unnaturally diverted from the improvement of their native soil, and made a twofold curse to the country' whose liberal institutions have admitted of their in. dulging their avaricious . propensities to the utmost of their extortionate desires. While upon the subject of Reliettothe Poor, we{ cAnnot help suggesting to the grave consideration of those in power, the propriety of instantly, 'and upon their own responsibility, takingoff the Dugs on Staffordshire Coal brought to London. The poor Colliers in Staffordshire would thus be in full employ. aunt, and the poor Artisans of London wotild obtain their winter's firing (a most necessary article °Elite) Or about ten shillings, instead of four or five pounds, per chaldron. Parliament at its meeting would be supported by the voice of the nation in granting all reasonable indemnities to the Newcastle Coal-owners • end the City of London for *nylon they might liereby sastain. • . . W . THE FUNDS. • _Yesterday the Stocks experienced vcti• Item. In - eauation. Commis werilime as low as 601: there were even dividend sellers at 6O for tan minutes. although the logrest rice irrited in the Stock Es: change L ist is 601. Navy 5 per Cents. where done currently it though quoted at 91i." Long An. made, were clone at 16 1.16 th down to 15i. but the List states them 16 1.16 th down to 151 only. We leannot aceonnt foe this misstatement I Various causes are assigned for the daily fall, some of them very silly and conttedistory. Some state, and large bets are laid. that the Revenue in the ensuing quarter will be‘four millions less than it was in the cerresenciine quarter of list year. Others, that Parliament will meet in October, and that a Loan of -Forty Millions will be immediately raised.. Some will have it that a Tax of 20 per Cent. will be laid on the Dividends in the Bank, and that Lands, Houses, and Labour, will, on account of the decayed and declining state of Agriculture, Manufactures, and Commeice," be ex— empted from any further impost. Others pretend that the Managers of a certain great House in Threadneedle•street,' over which an 'hid Lidy has long presided, have been selling out their Funded Property for several diyi past; and that a Broker of Iminence, who has bees in the habit of serving the Commissioners for many days, has uniformly taken the Stock out , of the names of one or other of thew Gentlemen; or out of his. own nanie.large sums having been, on the previous day, taken out 'of the names of , some one.; more of these Managers and put into his ; and many, perhaps with some reason, are persuaded that the Sinking Fund will be entirely abolished, at least for a time, and a corresponding qdantiti of Tams be taken off to relieve the public from a part of the pressure of present burthens. But is any kind of superior wisdom required to account for an effect inseparable from the present general depression of the value of property of every description ? Land has fallen, houses have fallen, rents have fallen, agricultural produce of every kind has fallen, ships have fallen, foreign merchandize and home manufactures have fallen in' price—and shall the Funds alone escape the general depression ? . Or rather, to speak more correctly, can any good reason be assigned why this specks of property should by any management whatever, be maintained at a :realer than its relative valet This is beyond the power of all the BrOken, and Jobbers, and Gamblers of the Stock Exchange. They might as well attempt by concert, or collusion, or trick, or force, or an Act of Parliament, to alter-the length of day and night in relation to the Seasons. Our decided opinion is, that the relative value of Funded Property is still too high : and if so, it must yet suffer a proportionate depression. Let the rela tive value ut /salter and phi at the periods when a great portion of the present debt was funded, be corn pared with the relative value of these two species of currency at the present moment, and it will be seen, we think, that the prices of the Funds are still high. In this view of the case, which it will not be easy for any person to prove to be erroneous, we may be allowed to express some surprise at the alarm which, ' some well-meaning people entertain, in consequense of the depression of the Stocks. In fact, the posses son of other species of property will not be placed in that situation to which their property entitles them, till the Funds and every species of property have been brought to their relative value ; and it is equally the interest of all. whether they perceive it or not, that this may soon be the case. The attempts of indivi duals to maintain for their own stream a higher than its relative level, may for a little time retard that equal diffusion over the surface which is required for the general benefit ; but they cannot prevent it s and the sooner this is effected the sooner will the pressure which is now so distressing to many cease to be so, by throwing an equal share of the burthen upon every specks of property.. A man may withoist much in convenience bear in the open field a shower of rain which would well nigh drown him were he compelled to stand under the gutter of a large building. , Ministers, therefore, so far from endeavouring to retain the Sinking Fund in full operation, could not better serve the general interest than by putting an entire stop to it. It is absolutely unjust to support any , particplar.species of property by financial operations ; because this can never be done but by drawiig in one way or another fiord the possessors otother kinds of property the full anieuni of the digerence.— Nay ' more, a greater sum is wrung from the contributors, namely, the whole amount of the' expense of the col. lection. The =loner now drained from the comma• • nity for the worse' than useless purples of the Sink ing• Fund would become new capital from time to time, and perform all the beneficial functions which capital does perform—adding to the prosperity of , the Landholder, the Manufacturer, the Artisan, and Laboflier of every description—nay, benefiting. the 'Stockholder himself by lessening his expenditure, and increasing the wealth of the nation, which is his only security for his capital.

The Duke was dressed extremely plain, and as he appared to have come off his j .urney we find his carriage and baggage has gone op to Dover, -from whence it seems his Grace will take his departure for the Continent. The colours are flying on board the different vessels in site har bour, and an illumination is spoken of to take place at night to celebrate the circumstance cf this illustri• ous Hero's visit to Ramsgate. His Grace the 'Ake of Vicuna:crow, arm in arm with his Noble Relative, has very condescendingly walked through the principal streets of the town, to the very great satisfaction of the inhabitants, who were, oneand all, highly delighted with the sight of this great man. SOUTH AMERICA. Letters from Madrid of the 11th July mention, that General CASTANOS has resigned the command of the ariny of Catalonia, and bad been succeeded by General•Lacr. In the above province and in Anda lusia, considerable levies are forming to equip a new expedition against Spanish America, as the Covent- Intent now despairs of any good consequences resulting from that of Moatun. They fiad it impossible to pacify, and that it is only by main force that the Royalists retain those points they have been able to conquer. Propositions have been made to several Guerrilla Chiefs who distinguished theassehes in the late war against the French ; some have accepted active servile; but, in the midst of all these hostile .preparations and threats of relenge against the Spa nish American Insurgents, money is wanting—the Treasury of the Peninsula is empty—no credit or trade exists—so that it is a problem among the most clear-sighted, whether Spain is able to fit out another expedition of 5000 men against her ultra•marine pro vinces, now fast approaching the attainment of the great object for which they have been fighting during a period of seven years By the Ridley we have received letters from Buenos Ayres to the 11th May, of which the following are ' extracts : 14 MAY 9.—The civil dissentions in this country are, as it were, suspended, as well with respect to the northern banks of the River Plate as the other Pro vinces. We expect some remedy from the Congress, which has already began its Sessions, and that some more regular plan will be devised for the union and better government of the various Provinces. The war of posts carried on in Peru distresses Pewit.*, who is far from his resources and surrounded by a perfectly hostile country. It appears by private ad• vices that he has retreated to Potosi, alter destroying the town and fortifications of Cotagayta." " MAY 11.—Notwithstanding the hoisted superio rity of Pazonca, he does not seem inclined to follow up the advantage he had gained in' Sipe-Sipe, since present appearances indicate that he means to content himself with the possession of Upper Peru. We have received no account of the Portuguese troops on our northern frontier having begun io move, but it is said that the Buenos Ayres Government is about to send a Deputy to Rio Janeiro. His mission h probably connected with the hostile preparations and attitude assumed by . that Court, although Portuguese vessels continue to frequent this port as if no apprehensions 1 1 were entertained of a rupture." We learn that the fleets of the two rival Chiefs of St. Domingo, Person and Comsvoruz, are at sea in search of each other. A private letter from Paris, dated August 10, says : 4 4 The Due d'Angouleme continues his tour through the Departments, collecting what is termed the ma nifestation of public sentiment, which he is to lay, on' his return, at the feet of the King. His arrival in the different towns is commonly preceded by nume rous arrests, which being reported to him, be orders a few liberations and occasional distributions of money, by means of which his passage appears every where marked with acts of clemency and munificence, which are afterwards extolled bj: the public papers. At Chatillon SO persons were arrested previous to his arrival, at Dijon IS ; and at the latter town, owing to the senseless conduct of a Colonel of the Royal Guard, respecting an imperial emblem he perceived in a house where he received hospitality; a duel took place, in which he was wounded ; and a general affray between his regiment and the National Guard was only prevented by timely orders for that regiment to withdraw from the town." Oa the 27th ult. we stated that a French tartan, loaded with staves, had been found in a bay of Cor sica, wideout any body on hoard ; and also that these was news in Town of a French vessel with a cargo of staves having been carried into Tripoli. It now appears that both of these facts' related to the same teasel. The St. Maurice, which was captured some thin back by a pirate, and a Tripotitan cruizer, hav ing found her near Dania abandoned, tools her to Tripoli. By certain papers on board it was there found that she was French. property, and the Bash of Tripoli gave her up tOthe French Consul. Dr. Sruaturanr, has, daring the last month, made several dissections of the human Brain in the Univers , sity of Edinburgh, and has received the testimony of all who, saw him, to the correctness and superiority of the new mode of dissecting that organ.
