Lord SOLISNWIT'S aale of Game Hill Committee was, at his :equrst, postponed from Thursday to Monday next. The Duke o f lttcx►rots) presented a Petition from Sussex against the importation of foreign wool Lord Ga►y, pursuing to a certain extent the 'course adopted by Sir ROBINS WILSON in the other House, on t he preceding evening, put a question to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, relative to the posture of affairs in the East, to -winch the Noble Earl answered, that his Majesty's Government had yet received no actual information of the intentions of Russia towards the Turkish States, but that front what had taken place , the hopes of peace entettained at the commencement of the Session bad been dintinisbed. In the House of Commons, Mr. Wit.mor•Hourot postponed his motion relative to Emigration sine die. The West Honourable Gentleman said, as a motion somewhat similar stood for Thursday, be might then explain his views to the House. The Thames runnel Bill was read a second time. Wu. Lsouctras, on the motion of Mr. Alderman Warrstwan, was reprimaMded and 'discharged. Alderman Tuourson, on presenting A Petition from the thiThe and Fire Insurance, of London, praying fur a reduction 'of dutiei On policies, entered into some statements to show that the bea•y duty defeated its own purpose, and if lighter, more revenue might be expected. He hoped a reduction of 50 per Cent. would be recommended in the modification of the Stamp Duties. The Cilauccxxon of the EXC . /Mang could hold out no hopes of any reduction in the present state of the revenue. Mr. Waasorrox and 'slr. Sexes supported the Petition. Mr. Basuto thought if a reduc tion were granted, a sabstitute for the duty abandoned must be provided, which would be a task of no small difficulty. The Hamburgh Papers to the /0,1 inst. which were l'eceieed last night, contain an important article from St. Petersburgh, informing us that the expected rupture of the recent Treaty of peace between Russia and Persia had been averted. It is stated, that the SCHAH had no sooner received information that General PAsitawurscu was preparing to advance with his army upon the Persian territories, than he took the alarm: a special Messenger was dispatched to assure the Russian Getier.l of the pacific intentions of the Court of Persia, and to announce, that the sum to be paid under the Treaty, as indemnity to Russia, was already on its way; and orders were also dispatched to Ps ince/Uica MIRZA, directing him to sign the Treaty without further de lay.--The importance of this amicable adjustment of the differences between these two Powers is manifest , as all expectation must cease on the part of Turkey of any diversion in its favour on the side of Persia; and the Russian armies will thus be enabled to act undi vided on the territories of Turkey, should the foolish and obstinate policy of the Porte compel the Russian: to such an extremity. The accounts from Vienna, to the 12th instant, re ceived by the French Parrs, are of a pacific complexion. They announce the arrival in that capital of the Russian Answer to the Hatti•scheriff issued by the Porte, and that this Answer, io far from being a declaration of war, as had been anticipated, merely renewed the assurance that the Emperor NICHOLAS would enntri• bute with his Allies to the due execution of the Treats 01 the 6th of July, and that he should wait for the opi nion of the French and English Cabinets before became 10 any decisive step. This intelligence, so totally un expecled, under tie circum•tances of the period, is said to have caused great sensation on the Vienna Exchange . the more so, as all the accounts from Bucharest were calculated to justify hotei of peace, which had before appeared inadmissible. The intelligence received fnmVienna by the Gamut. Mail this morning continues to be of a pacific character It is alleged that Inds political and commercial reason would induce Austria to interpose her good offices to prevent hostilities. The recruiting of the army, which had cauiEJ so much notice, is accounted for by its being carried on under a new system. The intelligence from Cracow, wear likewise a peaceful aspect. The following are extracts: VIENNA, MARCH 13. While all foreign journals are filled with reports of war, the speculators on our 'Change at most take notice of the fluctuations in the Funds. We are here firmly convinced that the breaking out of war will be prevented, as Austria, whose weight in the scale is so gteat, most desire peace, both for political and commercial reasons. The recruiting of the army, which is now carrying into effect, is more spoken of only because it is executed un der the new system ; but it is by no means so consider.. : able as those who wish for war would willingly believe ' The prices of corn, too, which for some time past have been rising, appear now inclined to fall. To-day, at half-past two s Metalliques were at 90, B - lank Shares 1,029; and in consequence of the more favourable prospects opened by the last Erman of the Sultan to the Principalities, a farther rite in the funds is very pr Arable. News has just been received that the town of Marst near S.ein, was desolated, the night before last, by a dreadful fire.— Nuremberg Cortespondent, March 18. CRACOW, MARCH 8. His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine has retained to Warsaw. Since his return reports fa• vourable to the preservation of peace have been spread ; and it is hoped that his Majesty the emperor will come to Warsaw, in the month of April, to re ceive the homage of the Polish nation. The Polibt; army, however, is still in motion, and its general staff in Lublin, to which his Imperial Highness will remove his head quarters. At the same time, large divisions of Russian troeps daily enter the kingdom, and the recruiting, as well as the delivery of horses and military stores of all kinds, continues as before. The re•introduction of the former mode of election in the Constitution of our little Republic, has lately given oc casion to many unpleasant occurrences.

Accounts dated the end of Oct. 18'27, from Palem bang, in the island of Sumatra, say, that in a district fourteen days journey from the capital, troubles had broken out, the spreading of which might have had fatal consequences ; that the resident at Palem bang having been informed of them, had immediately sent some troops hither, which had returned in sia weeks, !saving wholly quelled the insurrection. The principal ringleaders were sent to Palembang, and tried by the tribunal there. The less guilty were to be pardoned ; the result of the whole was, that a district, which had hitherto refused to submit to the Netherlands Government, is now obliged to do so, on the condition that the insurgents ate to pay the expense of the expe dition, and also to pay an annual tribute to the Nether lands Government.—Avrstertlans Journal, March 22.

Alarmed at the unaccountable phenomenon, he, with the mourners, most uncere moniously left "the dead to bury the dead," and took to his heels,none of the party pausing to take breath until they had attained the town. At Tongres, the mass for the dead was saying in the ancient and remarkable church of that oldest of the cities of the Netherlands, And the corpse of a young woman was lying before the altar, when the comn was observed to move upon the trestles that supported it, and a strange moaning sound was heard to 611 the church. Unprepared for these unusual events, fear got the letter of devotion. Without the " let us start fair " formality of he Cornish curate, the priest headed his Sock in the attempt to iscape from the church, but the doors (opening inward) were at nice closed by the rush of the affrighted congregation ; and long and earful was the struggle, and the cries and shrieks of the candidates Or Catholic emancipation most alarming, cry a sortie could be :.Ifected.

" My Dear Sir—We arrived here on the 20th of December, with only a• few articles of clothing ; nur vessel, the Charlotte and Maria, having been wrecked off St. Salvador—my chest gone—but we will be amply remunerated by the Government. While at St. Salvador we were treated uncommonly well by the Commandant, who allowed the officers sit shillings, and men one shilling a day. Colonel Cotter is DOW here, and bat picked out 600 men for the 3d Grenadier Battalion, commanded by himself, in which I hold a Second Lieutenancy; the rest of the young men are formed into a regiment of Cacadores, commanded by Colonel Baldwin, and the old married men are to get farms.

A Meeting of the Holders of the Bonds of the Chilian Government was held yesterday in the City of London Tavern, to receive a communication from that country on the subject—MV. Roatusotr, M.P. in the Chair.— The Chairman read the communication from the Chi lien Government, which came through the Chilian En voy, M. de EGANA. It stated that the Government was making arrangements for providing payment for their dividends in preference to all other measures ; and to that purpose. the Estanco was to be pledged, to the amount of 100,000 dollars annually. These arrange ments would occupy some time, but on the 30th of September the first of these payments would certainly be made. The Government would have no objection to the appointment of an agent on behalf of the Bond holders, to reside in Santiago de Chili, and superintend the arrangements for the payment of the dividends, but not to interfere with the receipt of the Estanco. EXECUTION IN THE OLD BAILEY. TMs morning* vast concourse of perioat insien - W-d before Newgate, to witness the execution of Alexander, alias Josiah Ephraim Shorter, and Samuel Weedon.— The unfortunate culprits have, since the moment of their having been ordere.l for ex cution, demeined themselves In a vet 7 becoming and penitent manner, particularly Weedon, who, aids( ugh an extremely ig norant and untultivated man, was most particularly attentive-to the pious exhortations of Mr. Coma, Or dinary of Newgate. He has left a wife and two chil drtn, with a father, mother, and numerous relations, to deplore his ignominious fate. It did not apFetr that Shorter had a w ife, and but little of the family con nexions of this unhappypr isoners ere known in the prison, The convicts having, in the course of Monday, seen such of their family and friends who visited them, were left during the remaining interval to prayer, in which they were constantly assisted by the Ordinary and Mr. BAKED; They appeared contrite, and regarded the ap. proach of death with calm fortitude. At about a (pur er to eight o'clock this morn ng, the Sheriffs and some ittendants arrived at Newgate, and instant arrange menrs were made for the execution. Shorter was con ducted from the cell to tl,e ward-room; he walked erect, and seemed quite stomposed t while the officers were pinioning his arms and hands, he requested them to ease the cords around his wrists, becaus • they hurt him. These %%ere the only words he spoke; he then sat down, while Weedon wss pinioned. This man, whet he entered the press•room. had his head thrown back and his eye, fixed upon the Heavens; he exclaimed, " Oh, mere! my GOD, have Mercy on me, a miserable dying sinner !" This ejaculation, and several others of a similar kind. he often repeated. He took no notice of anybody, and appeared to have lost sight of all sublunary scenes: as he was conducted to the scaf fold, he kept his head in the same position. Shorter first ascended the scaffold he walked up. supported by Mr. Cotrow, with a faltering step, and immediately closed eyes When put under the beam. When the eze cutlonet had adjusted the rope and put the cap over his face, he requested him to tie a handkerchief over hit eyes, which was done. Weedon was then placed by his side ; as he was conducted np the ladder, he said, " Oh, GOD bless you, Mr. Cotton; Gun bless you, and Mr. Baker, the King, and my family—Goa bless them all, and have pity on me a guilty sinner !" He continued uttering simi. larejaculations until the extcutioner had left him. The drop fell at a few minutes past eight o'clock.— Weedon struggled for a minute or two, but Molter died instantly. The appearance of Weedon was that of a farm la bourer: he was supposed to have been concerned in several burglaries about Edgeware. Shorter was dressed like a travelling horse•dealer, and was known to have dealt largely in forged notes. George Wyeth, who was to have been (seemed with the above two, is respited until Friday, as some points of doubt exist in his case.

SIIAKSPEARR's TRAGEDY OF MACRETH.—tr will aro ford great pleasure to those who may have a prospect of visiting the Northern section of Scotland, to he informed, that the identical pot on which Macbeth, as recorded in our great port's work of that name, met with the three witches, is still known. It is situated on the estate of Brodie, about three rinks westward of the town of Scone, and only about ten yards from the King's highway, on the right hand side, when you are proceeding in the direction of Inver nes% To our certain knowledge, multitudes of Gentlemen pass. ing through that part of the country, have vainly expressed the ut most anxiety to have this information furnished them. It is a somewhat singular circumstance, that the moor, on which this celebrated meeting between Macbeth and the three witches took place, is a rarest still, notwithstanding the great changes which have been effected since that time on the face of the surrounding country. Perhaps it is also worthy of remark, that the venerable house of the distirguithed family of Brodie, which was then their place of residence. is still inhabited by their illustrious descendants.—Lon don Weekly Review.
