A letter from a merchant at Vienna, says—" 'The isms of our National Bank are always in great de zad, people convert into them all the kinds of Enna currency which they can spare for the bank. Tough it has arisen only within this half year from ttse provisional administration, it may rival in respect tc solidity and credit, the Banks of Paris and Am ,terdam.

Five persons, the accounts state, were wounded, two of them mortally. An additional detachment of military having has tened to the spot, the multitude were dispersed, with out any farther mischief. Their total number is es timated at 30,000, and unless speedy measures are taken for putting an end to the combination, still more serious consequences are apprehended. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

UPPER CI.VAD A. 'PO THE EDITOR OF THE SCAR. Siri—Observing in your Paper of yesterday some remarks on the affairs of Upper Canada, in which, amongst others, you state, " The promise of grants out of these lands was the boon held out by the local Authorities at the commencement of the late war to induce the young Men of this Province to come for ward in its defence." Now, Sir, I beg to observe that this is not quite correct. The young men never thought of, or looked for, any such thing : they'same forward And offered their servites in consequedo of a spirited and feeling appeal made to their loyally and patriotism by that distinguished and ever to be lamented Officer the late Major-General Sir ISAAC BROCK ; and it was in consequence of the reports made by Conimanding Officers of Militia Corps of the spirit and zeal manifested by the young men on' this occasion, that the promise of the local Authorities was made to recommend Certain descriptions of them for grants of land. In confirmation of which I send you the original document issued by the Provincial Government on the occasion. These very men, who in the first instance defended and saved the Province, have seen the regular soldiers with whom they were serving, and many who never served a day in Upper Canada, both officers and men, receiving grants from the most favourable situations among the Crown lands ; while they themselves, by whom these very lands were defended, could not obtain a foot.—Your insertion of this explanation will oblige your constant reader, CANADIENSIS. September 3d, 1818. MILITIA GENERAL ORDER, Government House, York, May 25, 1812. The very satisfactory Report made to the President, by the Officers commanding corps, of the spirit and zeal manifested by the men, in Nolunteering their services in the flank companies, has afforded his Honour the most lively gratification, and con firmed the opinion which he was always disposed to entertain, of their determination to defend bravely, their Country, and in imitation of their veteran fathers, evince by deeds, the ardent loyalty they have so often professed.—Conduct so honourable, and dignified, has not failed making a deep impression on his Majesty's Provincial Government, and to increase, if possible, their anxious desire to contribute every thing in their power to wards the comfort and happiness of the people. With this view they have humbly solicited his Royal High ness the Prince Regent, for his gracious permission to allot to the wives and children of such soldiers, Militia, and Marin:rs, who may be killed in the present contest, a portion of the waste lands of the Crown ; and to afford relief to such as may be dis abled in the service, for whom no proiision is otherwise pro ' videa.—By Command of the President, (Signed) d'E.Nras Straw, Adj. Gen. Militia. SETTLERS IN CANADA. The following is the Copy of a Letter received by a Gentleman from the Colonial Office, in answer to an application which he made for a grant of lend in Upper Canada : - _ " COLO/UAL Drnmentrter, DOWNING-MEM MARCII, 1818. " Sit.—l am directed by f r oth Bathurst to acquaint you, in reply to your letter of the east instant, that his Majesty's Go vernment have ceased to give any encouragement to individuals desirous of proceeding as settlers to his Majesty's -Colonies abroad, beyond a grant of twenty-live acres of land in the Colony which they may select, and that they are neither to expect passage at the expense of Government. nor any assistance after their arrival in the Colony. Lord Bathurst is, however, ready to receive proposals from any persons willing to undertake either in person or by their agents, the cultivation of larger grants of land, either at the Cape of Good Hope, or in the North American Provinces, under the following conditions : " Such grant will only be made to those who can:engage to take out and locate upon theland granted, ten settlers at the least ; and the quantity of land granted In each case will be in the proportion of 100 acres for every settler proposed to be taken out. In ol der to prevent any evasion of this condition, the person apply ing for a grant of land will be required to pay down a sum at the rate of £lO for every settler, which turn will be repaid to him so soon after his arrival in the Culony, as the settlets shall have been located upon the land assigned. I am only further to acquaint you, that in case of your being willing to undertake the cultivation of land under these conditions, either at the Cape of Good hope or in North America, and in the event of your proposal being approved by his Lordship, a grant will be made to you, free of expense, and the necessary tonnage will be provided fur the conveyance of yourself or your Agent, and the settlers whom )ou may have engaged to accompany you. The expense of victualling talc seal srs will be defrayed by your self. 1 ant, Sir, &c. (Signed) " 11. COLI/ORN." The Duchess of R tetotoso has taken one of the new houses in Waterloo-place, facing Carlton /louse, where she intends to reside during the absence of the Duke. If any opinion may be formed from the quan tity of trine laid in by his Grace, for carrying on the Winter Campaigns in Canada, he can scarcely be ex pected to return in less than seven years. The Marquis of WORCESTER intends to proceed to Aix-la-Chapelle as soon as the Assizes at Gloucester are concluded. His Lordship intended accompanying the Duke of WELLINGTON to the Continent, but being Foreman of the Grand Jury at the Gloucester As sizes, he was prevented so doing by the unusual cir cumstance of their postponement. The Regent's Punch, of which the composition is ChaMpaigne mixed with vatious liquers, with a small portion of an infusion of green tea, which is the only water used in the mixture, is now the ilivottrite be verage, during dinner, of the high order of Dandies ! The grouse on the Monmouthshire hills ban been so shamefully destroyed, that the Lords of Manors have been under the necessity of interdicting the sporting on them this season. SAILING NlATCll.—Yesterday the annual Sailing Match for the Cumberland Cup, took place on the River Thames. About four o'clock six boats started from Blackfriar's-bridge, to proceed round a boat moored off Putney, and return to Vauxhall. There being a pleasant breeze, much nautical skill was dis played by the different competitors, and the prize was eventually won by the Waterloo. SMITHFIELD MEDIET, SEPT. 4,--Beef, 4s. Od. to 4s.

Soon aftereleven o'clock, the LORD MAYOR proceeded, in state, from Mansion-house to Smithfield, and proclaimed the opening of the Fair with all the ceremonies which pretedent has prescribed to him. His Lordship, how ever, either by deign or accident, di , ,appointed thou ' sands of their annual treat : it has on former occa • sions been usual to make the proclamation at twelve o'clock ; yesterday his Lordship made his progress through the Fair more than half an hour before that time; and when the throngs which potted into Smith field at every avenue, a few minutes before the usual time, were informed the show was over, the murmur of disappointment which ran through the crowd was " loud and long." This was increased by the unusual stillne,s and tranquillity of the scene, for' his Lord ship had stolen a march upon the sltow : filks, very few of whom were ready to open their exhibitions of noise and drollery till long after the procession of City Majesty had passed by. Soon after one o'clock, however, all was bustle and confusion, there was not an instrument of harmony from the brazen trumpet and sonorous organ to the humble flageolet and triangle, which was not tortured to produce sounds contrary to those for which they were originally in tended; or one of discord from the tremendous gong to the wooden salt-boi, which was not impressed into service to add to the confusion of the scene.— This confusion was not a little heightened by the cries of the Fire-eaters, Stone -eaters, Clowns, and Ladies, who were exhibiting their talents and their charms, and inviting the gazing and astonished mul titude standing without to pay their money and wit ness the wonderful sights within. Amongst the el - - `nibitions were, as usual, these of Y., , lng Saunders, Richardson, and Gyngell. There were also nume rous others—the King of the Conjurers—wondered little men and women under 30 inches in height, ranged by the side of Mrs. Cook-, the extraordinary English Giantess, and Madame (inbert the strongest woman in the world! To :hese were addedinnume. rable Learned Ponies and Sapient Pigs ; the general proclamation of whose extraordinary virtues, aided by the power of music, and the roarings of Polito's and other wild beasts, produced a din which could not be surpassed, we ,might say equalled, by any thing human. Several useful regulations, in which the safety of the public has been consulted, were, in consequence of orders issued by the Lord Mayor's Officers, adopted. Amongst them was one eicluding all those mischievous vehicles called swings from the body of the fair, •and confining them to the pig market. Only one row of shows were allowed to stand up the centre of the fair ; formerly there was a row on each side. This regulation affords g snore open path up the fair, and thus afforded fewer op portunities to the fraternity of pickpockets tin- exer cising their talent, who, notwithstanuing all the pre. cautions . taken, made an abundant harvest on the first day of the Fair. The oyster-stalls and sausage parlours were deco rated in grand style. In the latter were observed se veral Ladies, partaking most profusely of the deli cious dainties! During the afternoon, however, the hilarity of a merry party was disturb ed by a mischie vous boy, who contrived to introduce, unobserved, a small paper of gunpowder under a full-charged frying-pan, which in a mom-at was blown up, and its contents scattered in all directions, to the discom fiture of the company, who retreated sans cerensowie, without calling for their bill, and to the great loss at the unfortunate restaurateur! Previous to the Fair being proclaimed, an unfor tunate boy, whom curiosity led to peep thrush al; oycn crevice into one of the caravans, had his eye thrust out with a skewer by a monkey, which was in the inside. DoNsvennox FAIR, NEAT Drst.m.--Donnybrook Fair is most certainly the oldest, or of. the longest standing of any in Iteland, it being known to have existed before the arrival of the Danes in that country, and who, after they got footing in the maritime coun ties of the kingdom, used regularly to traffic to a larg e amount at it, which was a mart for goods of all kinds ; bnt latterly Donnybrook Fair has been only consi dered, in the way of tree, as a very good mart for horses: in the way of amusement and gratification to the citizens of Dublin, however, there is nothing like it in Ireland, and it can only be exceeded, if it is exceeded, by Bartholomew Fair in London. No less a personage than the Grand Bake Mt ' caner., brother to the Emperor of llossia, condo seended to visit the Fair, with -his whole suite, in open carriages, on Thursday sc'nnight, both on his going to, and returning from itopecting the works at Dun Teary Harbour; and if we might judge by. his Imperial Highness's countenance, he was very well pleased to see so many happy groups, diverting and recreating themselves, in all those varieties of amuse ments, which this scene exhibits to the wondering eve of the spectator. Thus the toil and labour of the working people of Dublin, for the year previous, is all forgotten in this scene of relaxation, And instead of grumbling over their misfortunes in sulky silence, they divert one another, by the relation of the fun they enjoyed, or the anticipation they will enjoy, at Donnybrook Fair. While amusements of this kind are occasionally allowed to the lower orders, there is no Ifear of" treason, stratagem, and spoil," occupying their brains, and if there is a little bacf blood in the way, "4 knackelownfor lore," or a cut head, lets it entirely our. Of these rencounters there were many in the course of the Fair. One fellow, who had undertaken the kind office of taking care of the clothes of the comp batants, was taken into custody, returning from Pain v ith no le4s than loll:teen waistcoats on. I .
