The prices of the French Funds, on Satur day, evince a still greater decliae ; for, abating the accrued dividends in like manner, the nett price of the Five per Ceats. was 97-1, and of the Three per Cents. 66i. so that the former yield £5 3s. pet cent . and the latter 4i per cent. as the interest of money. That this depression in the value of funded property is altogether unconnected with politic-1 speculation, may be made apparent to any one who wilt open his eyes to what is passing around him. The high prices of the daily necessaries of life, bread, beer, butchers' meat, and coals (notwithstanding the late remission of the duty on this at title), all verging, without the pretence of scarcity or bad seasons, to the same scale at which they stood in time of war and in a paper•curtency, present such a temptation to competition, that capital to an immense extent will naturally leave the funds, when it can so much more profitably be employed elsewhere. The urgent demand for capital (vulgarly termed a scarcity of money), vi hich is consequent on very high prices, cannot fail to raise the rent or hire for which money is to be borrowed, and this is the very same tiring as lowering the fun ds.W hen the pound of butchers' meat and the quartern loaf both are at the average. price of 10d. the farmer's profits must be enormous, When beer, notwithstanding the remission of the heavy Malt Tax, equal to two milli ons a-year, is at sd. the pot just the same as ever it was in war time, we require no political diviner to prove the preks of the brewer, and the probable extension of his demand for grain. When coals, after taking off the duty of 3s. 6d. per chaldron, are still at 565. we have reason to believe the shipping 'interest is so rittsperous a 3 t 9 atth:ct competition; ' and that people will' hardly 1* Contented with three and a half per cent. for their money in the Funds while they can realise from ten to twenty per cent. in trade. To our simple judgment it is manifest, therefore, ihat the prices of Stock will clntinue rapidly to fall for a time, until competition and an overabundant supply shall have lowered the price of commodities, and then, that such a re-action will take place, as shall generally cause the Three per Cents. to range a ttifie above of below Bs, which, in time of peace, is their utmost natu ral price in an industrious community. This opinion, our Readers will remember, has uniformly an.l re peatedly been pressed by us on their attention ever since last summer, and the result has amply verified our prediction. We beg now, however, to prepare them for another state of things, which will speedily approach, and be productive, perhaps, of much individual suffering. The competition which will be the inevitable conse quence of the 'present unnaturally high prices, cannot fail to give rise to excessive speculation. Over-trading is ever the forerunner of extensive bankruptcy—and that next year, thee effects will be felt, is, as we humbly conceive, without the gift of prophecy, sufficiently ap parent. Some uneasiness is manifested in the minor German States, lest the death of the Kir.g of BAVARIA should be followed by a change in their situation; and it is even stated in the German Papers, that exchanges of territory are meditated, in order to diminish the systems of Customs on the Rhine. Among other changes, it is said that Rhenish Prussia will be ceded to Prussia in exchange for some other territory. Before these trans. fens of subjects from one Sovereign to another are made, we would ask, is it not much easier to equa lize the different systems of Customs that prevail?— We should think so, certainly, and consider the ceding of territory, and with it the people, from one Prince to another, as impolitic, if not unjust. BONA• PARTE erred in this ; he placed JOSEPH on the throne of Naples, and before he had time to reconcile the Neapo litans to the change, sent him to reign in Spain, and gave to MURAT the sceptre of Naples, in accepting which, he vacated his sovereignty of the Grand Duchy of Berg. These changes unsettled the minds of the peo ple, weakened the confidence which it is so desirable the people should have in their rulers, and shook to the very foundation, that hereditary attachment and alle giance which is so firm a protection to every throne. The affairs of South America occupy the attention of the French journalists. The Journal des DeWs, in an article on the Congress of Panama, strongly censures the supineness of the French Cabinet, in not taking ad vantage of the new order of things. The C'onstitutiounel inserts a letter from Lisbon, making some remarks on the recent treaty between Portugal and Brazil, and stating some reports of the aversion of the Holy Alliance to the nature of its stipulations. This WAS to be expected. An article from Lisbon, in one of the French Journals states, that the Emperor of BnartL will shortly make a voyage to Europe, to ce ment his reconciliation with his Royal Father. Account, direct from Rio de Janeiro, of as late a date as those re: ceived in Lisbon, do not, however, allude to this ru moured visit. It appears evident that the Jesuits are growing holder and bolder every day on the Continent. Two Professors of Paris, M. ROYER COLLARD and M. GUIZOT, are in-1 terdicted from lecturing at the Sorbonne, a pretty sig nificant hint to the other Professors, that they can only hope to hold their situations by the tenure of sub. serviency to the Priesthood. We say interdicted, although from the advertisement for *the opening of the Course of Lectures, which commences to-morrow, it might be supposed they were only defer red. The follow ing are the Terms in which the ad vertiesment is couched : " History of Modern Philosophy, M. Royer Collard, Professor ; M. Cousin, Assistant. This course will not take place during the year 1825-1826. Modern History, M, Guizot, Professor, this course will not take place in 1825-11126." The Constitutionnei, in noticing this subject, says, " Speaking only jesuitically, this means Modern History and Philosophy are proscribed at Mont Rouge. M. Royer Collard, M. Guizot, and M. Cousin, are on the ind-x of the Propaganda Ultramontain, and consequently the Lectutet of these Professors shall tmt be delivered this year, as they were not deliv;red last, and will not be delivered, if things continue as at present, next year." The same French Journal states, that one of the Grand Vicars of the Bishop of ANGERS has sent such an unequivocal threat of suppression to the master of a sch-ol for mutual instruction, that the latter thought prNer to shut up the school, feat jog to incur the dis pleasure of his ecclesiastical superiors. The Courier Francais emphatically says—" Tole. ranee is now proscribed under the new word of 6 tole rantismus,' 26 the doctrines of Bossuet are proscribed as heresy." What a contrast does this conduct of the French Clergy form to that of the Catholic Clergy of the Ne therlAnds, noticed in the STAB of yesterday, mho see in the diffusion of knowledge " a new cause of prosperity to the Catholic Church." Dutch Papers, to the 13th instant, reached us this forenoon. In the Second Chamber of the States General, the project of law for the introduction of a new gold coin of five florins value,has been adopted, after a short debate, by a majority of fifty-nine to one. M. VAN ALPPEN being the only member opposing it. It is reported that the King of the NETHERLANDS, having submitted to a Committee, composed of Physi cians and Chemists of various parts of the kingdom, the question whether the practice of burying the dead in Churches, is or is not injurkus to the public health? they declared as the opinion of this Committee, that the "Custom of burying in Churches shot.iii cease, „as' fosing ultimately injurious to the living. Accounts from Presburg - state, that the Hungarian Diet, in a united sitting of the Chambers, had resolved to present an address to the Extr*Erich, in order to ac• quaint his MAJESTY that persons high i t office, even Hungai ians, filling the post of Royal Commissioners, have violated the Constitution by the empluyment of the military force, and to petition his MAJESTY to call these persons to account, and have them punished according to the law ; and to annul the ordonnances which ate at variance with the Constitution. It is asserted that this alludes to the order given by the Hungarian Chancery, at Vienna, to the counties, to pay the land tax, not in paper currency, but in silver : making an addition of 250 per cent. a measure which some persons think should have been first submitted to the Diet for its approbation. These Papers contain accounts horn Batavia of the 18th of May, stating that Malacca was given up td the authorities on the 19th of April, putAuant to the Treaty of Nlarch, 1824. '1 HE ARMY.

Count LISTEN, the Russian Ambassador, transacted business with Mr. Secretary CANNING, on Saturday, for a consider able time, at the Foreign Office, Downing-street. Thursday, as Sir JOHN lion: and his Lady were pro ceeding in their carriage along the Lothian-road, when turning into Lauriston by Wellington-street, the horses took fright, and bolted right into the door of a small shop, several par.es of glass of which acre broken by the concussion, as well as the pole of the carriage ; but happily neither Sir Joint nor Lady Hors sustained any injury. SHERIDAN'S maternal grandfather, Dr. CHAMBER.. LADDt, entertained notions respecting the cultivation of the female mind strangely at variance with those of the present day. It was with difficulty that he was prevailed on to allow his daughter to learn to read ; and to write, he affirmed to be perfectly superfluous in the education of a woman. The possession of this art he considered as tending to nothing but the multiplication of love-letters, or the scarcely less dangerous interchange of sentiment in the confidential ef fusions of female correspondence. This we find stated in the Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Mrs. FRANCES SHaaIDAN, mother of the celebrated author of the &loot for Scandal, &e. by her grand daughter Miss LIFANU ; a work which, abounding in illustrative anecdote, forms an admirable aud almost essentially necessary com panion to Mr. Moose's popular Life of SHIBILMAIL A commission, in imitation of those of England, France, Switzerland, and America. has been instituted in the Netherlands, the object whereof is the collecting of funds for the assistance of the Greeks. An Irish play-bill, announcing a variety of feats per formed by a clown (at the Circus) for his benefit, states that, in the course of the evening, he will take a hap " over a stage-coach, fill of outside passengers." More than four thousand pounds remain over of the money collected for the sufferers by the late fires in Edinburgh.

A boy, of the name of Illarriogton, was ye,teri:ir.

Surgical aid was sent for, but he expired in a few mies:es. A youth about sixteen years of ate, son of Mr. R. treiehot, t 4 Kendal,was imprudently amusing himself by casting gunpow.lo of a flask into the fire ; the flame communicated to the powder i n the flask, which ignited, and produced a roost tremendous em kt. sion, by which the flask was blown into a thousand pieces, anti tk youth's hand so shattered, as to render amputation necessary. Saturday, a man and his wile, belonging to Croft:m.li, gai t' I from Neilston home, the slight being very dark, they wartle tt i from the road into a garden, clove beside it, where there is 2 w : 3, into which the unfortunate couple fell, and both sunk ever bead.

AN OLD STORY NEW REVIVED. The Dutch Papers received this morrlng t.nr.tain a narrative from Bantam, derived through Batavia, ofa singular rencontre between an alligator and A titer, for the authenticity of which the Batavian w r ites ;,ClO forgive him) says he can answer. The story rel a man, fishing on the banks of the river Tyelirne, heard something splash into the water, and perceived* tiger at no great di.aance, swimming front de other side of the river. How the said fisherman the It should best provide for his safety by climbing a high tree, and how, when he had scarcely effected tie tiger reaching a tree that hung over the water, at. tempted to get upon it. The narrator then rex?, hoe, at that moment, an alligator of the largest siz: (of the largest size, mark !) darted out of the water, ceized the tiger, and dragged him back : This gave the fisherman courage to look at this strange sight, and be witness of a combat between the two most rapacious anievis rf these countries—far surpassing the lion fight at War' wick. Six times, the narrator declares, the two com !wants appeared above the surface of the wmer, er• erring their utmost efforts, until the water was dyti with blood, and the tiger, which was seized by the alligator across the back, became at length the prey of the latter ! Our Readers, in perusing this very intereF.tiq narra• Live, will, we doubt nor, recollect a very old.acquairl• Ince, and certainly not with a new face, ff.or zll;act is, that it is an old story which has appeared in 1:1 the collections of the wild and the wonderful that have to peared within these few years in England.
