The rumour in the City of an intention of calling out the Militia at present is unfounded. This day despatches were received at the Foreign °Eel) from his Excellency the Right Hon. S:r rat) B v r Go R DON, our Ambassador at Constantinople. It will be observed, by the report of our City correspon dent, that the Consol Market this morning excited the greatest interest ; and we are given to understanci, from a respectable quarter, that rarely have the spreulators exhibited more agitation than they have done to-day. —lt seems, in fact, that those parties whose influence has been hitherto used to keep up the prices, have, at length taken alarm, at the louring appearance of the politi cal horizon ; and evince the greatest anxiety to close those accounts, they have so frequently succeeded in carrying over from one settlement to another. The attempt to cut, has cost the party attempting it, somewhat dear. Without abetting the gambling propensities of either Bull or Bear, we have to announce, that the general feeling, among the monied people seems in favour of a still further decline in the public funds, arising wholly from the increasing value of money, and the unfavourable appearance of political matters. When we now sit down to address our readers, we hare little before us, of new intelligence from France, or the other Continental nations, in addition to what has before formed the subject of our remarks. We have intelligence just brought to us, that a temporary panic on the Stock Exclianio is occasioning a sudden depression in the national barometer; and, before we go to press, we shr.ll, most probably, be able to explain it, better than the above. We perceive clouds lowering around the horizon on all sides, black enough, and threatening- enough, to originate e;i:freh..nsions. The very last intelligence from France, mist give rise to the most serious misgivings, in every reflective mind, that the pnmenence of a judicious administratien of the affairs of that important na tion, is not beyond contingency ; for an executive that is driven by the cabals of revolutionary demagogues, from meas•;res that must be congenial to all that is esti mable in the human character, must prove itself weak and inefficient, in all the duties of government—particularly those of a more onerous, and less popular description. If ‘ve tun' our attention to the other great surrounding monarchies, it priori reasoning, without awaiting for the de velopenient of symptoms—of which, however, there are not wanting n! 411 y —must convince us that their present tranquillity is precarious. The partial conflagration which has already shewn itself in one district, may be in some degree subsided ; and if the French Government mut pursue its present line of dig mike, and consolidate its own power, by innox jowly according with the interests of its neighbours, the clouds chich it:pend over the central districts of Europe, may pass over without bursting ;—but the fire of successful revolt i 3 if too porn:dating a character to he excluded by mechanical obstruction : a people wisely governed, and morallf attached, are us non-conductors to the destructive fluid ; and if the Gove:innents on the Continent do not combine with physical ft,: ce, the real moral energies of their nations, which can only be called forth by judicious acts of concession, in redressing what may be popularly considered wrong in the system of their government, their tranquil litc cannot be firmly established. The peculiar political situation of a people is however, frequently, in despite of the wisest acts of a Govcument, a situation of suffering; and such a situation it is not iu the power of any Government suddenly to change. Such is the situation, we sincerely believe, rr.':re or lea, at present cf almost all the nations in Europe ; for we cannot credit the assumption, that there is any Go vernment in Europe, at the present day, so base and blind as, in design, to abuse and misgovern its people; or which does not sincerely endeavour to accomplish their comfort and satis faction. But existing distress is, to continuo our metaphor, the ready conductor of tho revolutionary fluid ; and to the unthinking enthusiast, and unprincipled demagogue, this fact is well known. While thus meditating on other nations, have we no rea sons to be apprehensive of the tranquillity of our own ? We fear there are not wanting symptoms to alarm. But vo know, that the great mass of every people value highly the blessings of tranquillity. Hero we are sure the Brea mass are morally inclined, and prone to support, the supre macy of the laws. To this sober-mindedness, and a cer tain self-remedying principle in our institutions, we look as a security against the violent internal commotion 3, disturb the other nations of Europe. We have Bombay papers to the 13th Juno. \V take following from the 12th " The cholera morbua broke ;nit on board tint lien. Corn panv'o ship Buckinghamshire. Capt. ihadon, on ThurAlay, the 10th inst. and, by 1 o'clock on the i''riday, I 8 hands had died, and there were between thirty and forty in a very de plorable condition. The greatest aid wee promptly adatinii tered by the medical officers of his Majesty's ship Challen ger and of the Indiamen. Medical aid vas ulso supplied front the shore, and every nteasnro that could arrest the progress of the horrid disease was speedily adopted by Government. Tin; : , 7;rviving numbers of the crew were removed on Friday to Butcher's Island, such of the sick, however, a' could be brought on shore, have been removed to the h .spital. The ship itself was ordered to be removed to tho ground. The disease is purely local, and nut one of tha other Indiamen, nor uny of the free-traders, in the harbour has been attacked. On short) the complaint is gradually as suming so mild a complexion, that only 18 cases were re ported as having taken place nmongb: the whole population in the middle of the week. We have a file of Calcutta papers to the 10th June, the contents of which aro important. It appears that serious disturbances had broken out on the frontiers of Upper Assam. Reports of those having reached Captain Neutrino, the po litical agent, of an irruption, 2,000 Singpoos, under Wakum Koomjuu, who had crossed the river Booreo Dheing, and effected a junction with tho I.uttora Saruu, their united strength amounting to 2,800, with an intention of ad vancing on Suddeya, the agent accordingly proceeded against them in person. Having taken up a position on the Barrumpooter, he received information that the Singpoos had come down the Thenga on rafts, to attack the village of Suttee, with a force of 54 rank and file, and 250 militia. He fell upon them, and put them to the route, with a loss on their part of 13 killed. The Singpoos retreated to Suttore, and, to the number of 2,500, began to construct stockades. In consequence, measures were taken for calling out the con:in gent of the whole of the chiefs under the Political Agent's authority, who assembled to the amount of 1,000 men, 400 of whom were armed with English muskets. On the advance of the first detachment, the enemy deserted their works, and were driven across the bills, and, finally, out of the British territory,-40,000 maunds of rice were taken. Whilst the above occurrences were passing a body of Assamese insur gents, about 400 in number, made an irruption on the post of Ringpore. Lieut. Mackie marched against them, and beat them off, pursuing them for ten miles. Detachments had been sent against their territories, and it was anticipated the loaders would either be captured or destroyed. From the Paper of May 27. THE GALE.—Accounts are pouring in from all quarters of the damage done by the gale of Tuesday and Wednesday. The bank of the river from near the Fort to the end of the Strand, is strewed with wrecks of boats and pinnaces. The devastation has been considerable on the grounds of the Commander-in-Chief, and a number of huts have been thrown down. If the rains continue the Indigo crop will be materially injured. From the Paper of the 14th. We are sorry to understand that the small-pox is raging to an alarming extent in some of the Upper Provinces. Both at Cawnpore and Mirzaporo a number of persons have fallen victims to the disease, among whom are several adult Europeans. From the Paper of the 15th. A letter from Sylhet states that the Rajah of Cachar was murdered on the 24th of April, in consequence of which a detachment of the Sylhet corps was ordered up. Little doubt was felt that Gumbersing, Rajah of Merupoor was the instigator. The murder was r erpetratad by the Cachar's own sepoys. From the Paper of June the 7th. A letter has been received at Calcutta, by Cie late arri vals, which mentions that orders have been despatched by the Court of Directors to this Government, not to rescind the order of the half batta, but to give the troops an equi valent. This letter is from a gentleman connected with the India House, and whose information is derived, there is rea son to believe, from the Directors themselves. From the Paper of the 4th. Notwithstanding the strict law of the Government against Suttees, a woman has lately burnt herself. A certain gen tleman, a seeder by casts, who resided at Chibotu, in Patna, died, about 32 years of age. His wife, a girl of about 19, attended him, and when the body was being burnt, she leaped upon the funeral pile, and consumed herself. The Daroga having been acquainted with it, caused those present at the spectacle to be seised and sent to Patna, where they remain in confinement. From the Paper of the Ist. Letters from several parts of Joiner, lead us to think the storm cannot have extended to that district. MI our later accounts from the Indigo districts, lead us to make a con siderable deduction from the formerly sotimand amount of the forthcoming • and to expect rather below than above our ow wage grim 1.6.

We understand that the Bishop of Calcutta is making arrangements for tho establishment of an Infant School iu the Bow Basaar . CITY, HALF.P4ST TWELVE. Yesterday there was a little panic in the Funds, but this morning there is a great one, and all the speculators and jobbers are on the alert to ascertain the cause. The Stock Exchange was in a very great bustle at the opening of the Market. Consols which left off yesterday at 851 to 1 for the Account, opened at 851; but immediately after an alarm took place, and the whole house were sellers. When Consols fell from 851 to B.lf for the Account. Report says, that a Property Tax will be brought for ward, when the House opens ; and that it is in contem plation to call out the militia, as great fear is entertained that the troops are not staunch in Ireland, and we have but few troops to spare to send to that quarter. At present we do not hear of any express having arrived from Paris. The Dutch and Ostend steamers are expected; but it will be late in the afternoon before they arrive. Consols are at present 841 e, and for money 80. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The groat panic which prevailed this morning in the Funds, has a little subsided ; but still there appears a great heaviness in the Market, although they got up from 8.11 to 84i for tho Account : at present they are 84d We do not hear of any further reports than those we communicated at 12 o'clock. Nothing doing in Foreign Stock. In the Foreign Market, little or nothing doing as yet ; the whole attention is turned towards the Consol Market. LI V Elt rum., Oc•t. 18.—The demand for British Plan tation Sugar continues rather dull, the sales of the week being 750 hhds. chiefly brown and middling qualities, at a reduction of Is. per cwt. The sales of Jamaica coffee yesterday went off with spirit. Cotton still continues dull. There is very little of pine timber now landing, and the de mand for the country this week has been slender. CouN Excnauo E (Tins v.)—Nothing is doing in the market of moment. Wheat is nominally as on last market-day. In Barley we can give no alteration, as regards price. Oats aro heavy, and other grain unaltered. A lh'brew morchint in the City, within a few days died suddenly ; it being suspected by one of his creditors that he was not dead, but absconded, he laid an information at the Coroner':•. Orders were immediately given to hare the de ceased ;lug up, which took place yesterday; and the corpse was taken to Whitechapel workhouse, for the inspection of and Inquest, which sat this day. CITY, 11ALF-PAST TWO. A renewal of the panic has just taken place in the Consol Market, and all parties have rushed forward to sell. It is difficult, in fact, to catch any real price, so rapid is the fluctuation, and the Bulls are in the highest state of alarm. Consuls have again fallen from the transizat re-action price to 831. Exchequer Ms and India Bonds partake of the alarm, and the reduced quotations we give, of 40 for the former and 38 for the latter, must be con sidered as entirely nominal. In fact, the Bull party have pawned stock to such an extent, to raise the necessary funds for keeping up the high figure stocks have borne, and have taken it in to such an amount, that it is impossible to say bow much may be thrown upon the market now that the pawners have taken the alarm, and demand, as it is said they do, its immediate redemption. The agitation of the Foreign Market is extreme, and a considerable additional depreciation has taken place. Rus sian Bonds have fallen to 94i, Danish to 601, and Brazilian to 608, with a general tendency to a further decline.— Indeed, no sales of these could be attempted without causing still more alarmin g sac:i fi ces. Even Spanish Stock, which already low, and huoyed up by the favourable proguoetics of the period, may be supposed less liable to be affected, is a shade lower than at our former report. 24 is given as the figure it at present bears. The Share Market, as a matter of course, is nearly de serted, and there speculations a drug. The Market alto gether exhibits an appearance of the greatest alarm, and every moment a fulaher fall is looked for. Juerrea AGAIN IN Disoetse.—On Thursday last, a my extraordinary circumstance took place at lioanne. Tho imperial of a diligence, loaded with several millions of the gold from Algiers, suddenly broke into the carriage and overwhelmed the passengers, some of whom were seriously hurt ; amongst the number, a young lady. Tun DUKE OF RAGUSA AND CUARLES X.—On Wednesday, 28th of July, the Duke of Ragusa understood fully all the importance of the revolutionary movement.— Every moment couriers succeeded each other front St. Cloud to Paris, and from Paris to St. Cloud. Charles X. still more obstinate than ever, answered, " Do not trouble your self ; nothing will happen. Another quarter of an hour, and all will be finished." " Bet, Sire,"—" Go away! it is a repe tition of what happened in the Rue St Denis. However, see M. do Pulignac." This last was at the Tuilleries ; his ob stivacy was not less than that of his master. It was at this moment that a man, whose upright conduct had made him retire of late from the Tuillcries, went to see the Duke of Ragusa, and propose to him an energetic step. At each cannon shot, the Marshal appealed to feel a deep pain. His hand nervously agitated, his face contorted, and while tra versing the chamber with unequal step, frequentiv " Great GOD ! what a situation. ' . . . . " then, get out of it !" resumed the old man, whom lye will not name. . . . . "By what means ?" " See the means. The Ministry are still at the Tuilleries ; take upon yourself to stop the effusion of blood, and seize the Ministers. They may be shut up—put in chains if necessary. Say but the word and I will answer for it." The Marshal appeared to listen to the advice ; but soon his brow blackened, and his agita tion increased. " Well then, make up your mind !" said the old man. " But this coat !" exclaimed the Marshal—" 1814 is on this coat," and at the same time he struck the em broidery. " Yes," said his interiocutor with strong emo tion. " Yes—there is dirt upon your coat, but you will not wash it out by steeping it in blood." At this moment an order arrived from St. Cloud to prescribe to the Marshal to hold out to the last ! The Marshal was completely out of his senses. Fatality was the strongest. These details reached us from the most certain source. We cannot doubt their autnenticity.—Journal de Paris. The Moniker contains a report to the King from the Mi- 1 nister of the Interior, whereby, after noticing that names, whose influence had ceased, and some of which had become hostile to the country, had, during the last two reigns, been given to certain canals, and that by this species of flattery their primitive denominations, which had at least the merit of being appropriate, since they were taken from the rivers united by the canals, or from the countries through which they passed, had disappeared, the report recommends to his Majesty to restore to the canal lately called Monsieur the name Du Rhone au Rhin, that of Du Dnc d'Angouknte the name of LaSourese, that of Du Duc de Bordeaux, La Vetere et du la College, and that of Maria Therese, St. M aur . The canal Du ,duc de Berry, which, from its extensive ad ditional branches, could not well receive its first denomina tion of Leaser, ie to be called the canal Ds Berry. The report has bash approved by the King. THE KfNG'S COURT. BRIMII - Ir/77cr. 19. Lord A. BEA UCLERK , Commissary CusimiNGs, Si. R. it.far. S and Lady KEATS, Vice-Admiral and - Lady O I'TW A Y.

Despatches from Lord HeyLesbury, our Amimesader at St. Petersburgh, for the Earl of Aberdeen, as we stated yes terday, wore brought by a gentleman to the Foteiemeeiece yesterday afternoon. After the arrival of the deefetehr,e. the Earl of Aberdeen proceeded to the Treasury, real had ..!! interview with the Duke of Wellington. We understend that the Very Reverend Moderator of tit.

The Commissioners of the New Police have made tirpl:- cation to tho parish of St. Mary-la-bonno for 11,8001. it. advance for the ensuing half year. This the parish cannot comply with, as they have already paid to the Counnissionerti 23„5001. for the last year, being about 16,0001. more than the old watch cost. The Ilon. W. Ponsonby-, one of the Members for Poole., has undertaken to erect, at his own expense, 4 public li brary for the use of that town, on a piece of land presented for that purpose by his colleague, Mr. LAO:. SCOTTISH &SCH.—Lord Pitmilly, after seveateei years' service as one of the Judges of the Court of SJssion in Scotland, both in the Civil and Criminal Courts, has re-. tired from the Judicial Seat. The L;signation or decease et another Judge will reduce the Court of Session to the num ber of Judges which the late Judicature Act has lined it shall in future consist of. Lord Pitmilly was a shrewd awl excellent Judge. llis legal knowledge was sound ; his dis crimination in all cases just. In private life he is greatly esteemed. TIIE SEE OF EXETER.—If the expected episcopal ap pointment takes place forthwith, there will have been three Bishops of Exeter within the year, and the First Fruits will have been paid twice; which, in the case of the late incum bent, will, it is supposed have absorbed more than he can have had to receive from his diocese. It is said to have been with a view to lessen this loss that the Lunge d'Elire has been proposed till after Michaelmas. If translations were abolisl,ed, the Church and religion would save much of fry! scandal which is thus brought upon them. HASTINGS, OCT. 15.—The remains of Sir Fredena Baker (whose fatal accident was mentioned in a fornfor 1.3. per) were interred in St. Diary's Chapel, followed to tht ground by his relatives, friends, and tradespeople of Hastings. According to the evidence produced before the Cork ncr upon the inquisition, it appeared that the sweeps of the miii e ere in motion at the time Sir Frederick ascended the platform. but being short-sighted, it is presumed the unfortunate Gen tleman could not distinguish whetherthey weat round ithir or without the gallery...

In one of the batteries at Algiers was found the b ass can non, to the mouth of which was tied the French Consul (Father Levacher) during the bombardment of that town by Duquesne, in 1688. This piece, which has ever since been called La Coneylair., has lately arrived at Toulot:, from whence, at the request of Admiral Duperre, it is to con veyed to Brest, and kept as a trophy of the capture of A. giers in 1830. THE NEW STREET II THE STRAW o.—Tie usual notices required by Parliament have been affixed to the different Churches, stat ing that it is the intention of his Majesty's Commissioners of '.S and Forests to apply, during the ensuing Session of Parliament. for leave to bring in a Bill to enable them to open the long-wanted approach front Charles-street, Covent-garden, to the Strand, opposite Waterloo-bridge ; and the same notice announces their intention to make a similar application to close up Gloumter-court, St. 11111Cell street, and erect houses on the site thereof. _ _ HIS MAJESTY'S INTENDED VISIT.--II is now beyond all doubt that his Majesty intends to visit Scotland early in the eneuirg summer, and the" note of preparation" is already sounded in various quarters. Lord Willoughby has sent orders to Drummond Castle ;in Perth • shire, for the immediate construction of from 150 to 200 targets. and for the manufacture of as much of the real Gordon tartan as will clothe the above number of men. It is further said that the Duke of Our. don has ordered the selection ot 203 Perthshire men, exclusively " Mom" to be clothed and equipped in the ancient costume and arms of the county. to be shown to his Majesty.
