mIIIe• might weigh them, and that the Proprietors in future might meet the Directors with cordiality and confidence, so necessary to so great a body as the Bank of England. The Govamon interposed, and said, that the only question re ularly before the Meeting was one of adjournment. Mr. Assms said that the Court could not entertain the motion ef the Hon. Proprietor. Mr. Parse objected to such procedure, notwithstanding his re syect for the Colin of Directors. The lion. Proprietor's motion ought not to be got rid of in that way. It was the practice of every public body to give the information required, and the with holding of such information was inconsistent with the honour of the Court of Directors. The COMMOa again interposed. He bad no wish to get rid of the opinions of any Proprietor—(Hear, bear). Mr. Payne said, the question proposed by Mr. Young was so cassia's that there could be no demurring on the subject. It could not be doubted but that the Bank were pledged to the full amount the notes in circulation ; and he hoped that, at the next Court, a declaration woule be made by the Governor as to the amount of the liabilities. The Governor bad said that the Court followed the same course as it had done for the last century ; but times had greatly changed, as the public now made deposits with the Bank, and thus 'he demands upon it were increased. There were many persons in the commercial world who looked with considerable alarm at the -rest responsibility to which the Bank of England was liable from the large balances in the bands of the Bank. The amount of the ;old and silver, in the aggregate, in the hands of the bank was no doubt considerable ; but should those having large balances in the hark demand payment at a time of any alarm ruinous consequences might ensue. He, therefore, approved of the motion of Mr . Youn g, as the public oug ht to be aware what was the amount of the lia bilities and assets of the bank. He trusted, therefore, that at the next Court the Governor would come prepared with such infor mation. The Govsanon said, that a similar motion had been put to the last Court, and was negatived by a large majority. He was in the hands of the Court. Mr. PAWNS said, that, without some substantial reasons were given for not affording the information. the Court had a right to expect that the Directors would be prepared to give it. Some discussion arose upon a point of order, Mr. Astell, M.P. (=tending that the question of adjournment should be forth with put. The Gol'llo4oll put the question of adjournment, and it was carried by a small majority.—The Court then adjourned. THE EVENING STAR. because I have noticed the eagerness to male it believed that no expedition was intended : an eagemen shown by many of the mer chants here who had letters, and also because our defenceless situ ation was well known at the Havaunah—for even noes we are not in a proper state of defence. What a shame ! Yesterday at three o'clock, the Court-martial as sembled on board the Victory, to try Capt. DICKENSON at the instance of the Board of Admiralty, on various charges of insubordination and general misconduct at, and after the battle of Navarino, pronounced a j dgment of HONOURABLE ACQUITTAL in favour of the gallant Defendant. The judgment was received wiih rap turous applause by the crowd in Court, and will iliffitse a general satisfaction both through the service and through the country; not less on account of many anomalous and unprecedented features in the prosecution, than from a sympathy which—durin:; its progress—had been uni versally excited, by tho frank and manly bearing of Captain DICK ENSON .

Dispatches were also this day received at the Colonial Office from Major-General Sir HILG ROVE TURNEn, Governor of the Bermudas, dated the 16th of August. Dispatches were at the same time received from Halifax, elted the 23d August. Mr. ROTH, the French Charge d'Affaires, transacted business this morning at the Foreign Office with the Earl Of ABERDEEN. We have this day received a Mexican mail, bringing Papers to the 18th of July. The Mexicans are in fear and trembling on account of the Spanish armada fitted out against them. They so have it, that troops have been actually sent from Spain,—that levies are made in the Canary islands to assist in their subjugation ; that be sides the squadron from the Havannah, there are a line of battle ship and two frigates fitted out on the same cause ; —and lastly, that the expedition instead of 5,000 men, consists of 15,000. In an article in the Espiritu P uldico, it is said that the Mexicans are in a very de fenceless condition. There is a report prevalent this day in the City, that Vera Cruz has fallen without firing a shot. The following are extracts : MEXICO. From El Espiritu Publico of 15th of July. VERA CRUZ.t Yesterday the Eliza brig, of the United States, from Phila delphia, anchored in this port; and in an official paper given by a person in office to one of the authorities of this city, is the fol. lowing passage : " The Captain of the Elie i states, that off Cayo Hueru, an English schooner called the Skip Jack, an the 26th of June, by which he was informed that there was preperisg,at the Havannxh, an expedition destined for Vera Cruz, with twelve trans ports, two ships of the hue, three frigates (without stating the number of the troops), and he thought that at that time they would be at sea. Is there then any one who can sincerely doubt of the reality of our being soon invaded? We take it for granted that this new circumstance has been immediately communicated to the Supreme Government, and to the Governor and Com mandant General of the State, that they may hasten their measures : it is necessary that the troops from Jalapa should come down im mediately ; and that General Santa Anna, leaving other affairs. should instantly come to this place. The moments press on, and in war activity is the most necessary. Up to to-day, we may say that we were abandoned to our fate, notwithstanding some mea sures bate been taken to prepare for our defence; but Mae are not sufficient. General Santa Anna! Time. we repeat it, is precious; and in war activity is the thing most necessary. From the Esp. Publico of 18th July. VERA CRUZ, JULY 11. Yesterday evening a Visors arrived here in 14 days from Cayo liner° : it is an American in ballast, and it is not known why it comes, since it has brought no letters. The Captain has made a declaration conformable to all the preceding Information,—adding that the expedition does not consist of 5,000 men, but of 13,000. My friend, the affair is more serious than some persons believe ; troops have arrived from Spain,—and levies made in haste by Mo rales in the Canary Islands,—e ship of the line and two frigates, besides the squadron from the Haysnnah ;—all the Spaniards expelled from this country, except those in Great Britain, come in as volunteers ; and all will leave their bones here. Bet union and valour (and nothing more) are indispensable; for with these we shall falsify the joyful hopes of the tyrant Ferdinand and his adherents. Undeceive yourself : they are coming to Mexico, and we nay believe they have been on the way since the Ist instant. The ealy thin doubtful is the place of landing : probably here or at Beguile de Pledra. I bere— t No date, probably the 7th or oth of July. I 1 \I an issue which—to our minds—was not even doubtful from the beginning, we do so in the con viction that he is animated by too perspicacious, as well as too noble a spirit, to foster animosity against the gallant Admiral, who was forced forward to support the charges of the prosecution. Let us not he un derstood, by this expression, as in the remotest man ner sanctioning, or apologising for the conduct of Sir EDWARD CODRINOTOW, which has been in the highest degree blameworthy throughout this extra ordinary transaction : we must be clear on this point. But we deprecate the entertainment of implacable feelings against the Gallant Admiral, because we think it sufficiently established by his own manner of giving testimony that he was ac tuated by no malignity in the disclosures and commu nications which from time to time he made to the Lords of the . Admiralty ; and that he was rather drawn — by his own precipitation and inadvertence into a snare, out of which, after he had once com mitted himself by imprudent statements and ad missions, it became difficult to disentangle himself with honour ;or indeed, to disentangle himself at all. We think Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON—Ott the issue of this trial—worthy certainly of professional reprimand, but by no means unentitled to public sympathy. The Times of yesterday says :—" Sir En wA RD CODRINOTON'S repugnance to a Court-martial, after having done Captain DICKENSON all the mischief that an unfavourable sentence by a Court-martial could well have inflicted on him, is one among the circumstances least easy of explanation to be found throughout this proceeding." Without violently con travening this position, we think that the repugnance so unaccountable in the judgment of our contemporary will not appear to have been left unexplained by us. Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON—by his too hasty confidences —found himself in a double scrape : he had prejudiced Captain DICKENSON without intending it, and he could not draw back without prejudicing himself. It was, therefore, natural in him to resist the extreme, and—by him—unpremeditated measure, to which the Admiralty all at once proposed to drive him ; and endeavour to con ciliate for Captain DICKENSON—by private explanatory representationit—that good opinion of the LORDS COM MISSIONERS, which it did not enter into his contempla tion to alienate from the gallant Captain, by his too ex plicit and imprudent candour. But another passage, which occurs in the long com ments of the Times yesterday upon this trial, is too re markable to pass unobserved. "It has turned"—he says —" an unfortunate coolness between the Admiralty and Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON, to evil account, by sending forth shameless and iniquitous rumours of a design on the part of the Board to gratify their resentment against the gallant Admiral by forcing him into a position from which he could not be honourably extricated. If Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON has any thing to be sorry for in this Court-martial, we are bound to say—and we do so with great respect for him, but with a still greater for the cause of truth and justice—that he has his own want of calm foresight and consideration to thank for it." We agree certainly with the Times, that the gallant Admiral has to thank himself for this " untoward" affair ; and we recollect also, that he was stig matized by Ministers for another a brilliant victory—which was characterised by that memorable epithet. But we cannot jump to the conclusion insinuated by the artful writer, that the passions of the LORDS COMMISSION Ens have been unengaged in the late proceeding. The judgment of a discerning public —we feel confident—will be otherwise pronounced, not withstanding this crafty double by the apologist of offi cial oppression. If ever an Admiral deserved splendidly of his country, Vice-Admiral CODRINGTON surely did so at Navarino : but a subservient and crouching spirit of submission to the military government, which replaced the popular Cabinet under which the victory was achieved, has made it fashionable to defame its glories. Let us do justice, however, to the individual, who—at the com mand of his country—led forth her fleet to victory, and has added one more star to beam through the page of history in the galaxy of her naval heroes. Far from us this detracting spirit ! Some of the servile prints—advocates of the Noble Viscount who now jobs the Marine of England, and personal enemies to the late High Admiral—are already in sinuating intentions equally vindictive and detestable : but let their masters have a care. We have this day been favoured by the intelligent Master of the North and South American Coffee House with several numbers of the New York Papers to the 19th ultimo, conveyed by the London line of Packet ship Helen, Captain COBB. In the cursory glance we have been able to give at these Papers, we have not been able to discover any important political news. By to-morrow evening, we may, perchance, be able to discover, and reprint something of interest from them. In the New York Commercial Advertiser of the 17th of August, we have the following passage : " The London correspondent of the New York Csisimaciai onetime writes of an American city containing twenty or thirty thousand quaker.? We should like to know the name of the city. The same correspondent styles Great Britain the fostering parent of civil liberty.' At hose, she may be ; but she has never fostered it obrood."—National Gazette. In reply to the query of our friend of the National Casette, we will avail ourselves of our privilege, and guns that our Correspondent, who has figured in the literary circles of Phi ladelphia, intended to designate that self-same identical city.— " But England has never fostered civil liberty abroad." In deed? Where did the people of the United States imbibe their notions of civil liberty ? What has England done for the lonian Islands? How quickly did CANNING By to the relief of Portugal, when •he requested aid in sustaining the new constitu tion? And where is there a freer country on earth than the British North American Colonies at the present day 7—C.onse,c►- eial Advertiser. CITY. TvisLys o'CLocE. Up to the present hour scarce a bargain has been done in the Consol Market, which opened at the same price as they left off yesterday, 89 to b for the Account, and 881 for money. The Foreign Market is alto in a stagnant state, and the prices are nominal, as per yesterday. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. Consols have continued the whole of the morning at 89, alter nately buyers and sellers, with little or nothing doing; and 881 1 for money. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. Very favourable accounts have been received from the Bolooa Mines. The produce in the month of April was 126,893 dollars; neat profit, 5,400. In May, 221,778; profit, 99,500. In June, 192,488 dollars; profit, 98,801. It is again reported this day in the City, that the Rus sians are in possession of Constantinople ; but up to three o'clock we have no official information on the subject. Accounts by the private letters from Havannah state that another expedition was preparing there for Mexico. An embargo has taken place at Vera Cruz, and great agitation prevails amongst the public, who are ready to seize on all suspicious persons in favour of the Spaniards. SANTAN.t is stated to be true to the Republic. A mail has arrived this day from Rio Janeiro, by his Majesty's brig Royalist ; sailed 12th July. We have already given news of this date ; and this mail adds little or nothing to our previous intelligence. A Halifax mail, by the Nocton, sailed 23d August, one day later than the last arrival. There is another mail, by the Chichester, from Vera Cruz, sailed 30th July. We have given the news from this quarter in another section of our Paper. A report prevailed at the Havannah that the Spanish fleet had taken Vera Cruz without firing a shot; but this report is contradicted by private letters received this morning from the Havannah of the 19th August, at which period they had not received any account of their having made good a landing, or of the dispersion of the fleet, except the Bingham. Extract of a letter from New Orleans, dated 28th of July : " The yellow fever, which has prevailed for some time on board the shipping, has now completely entered the city, and is making many victims." It is beyond doubt that on the 22d August the Russians left Adrianople on their march to Constantinople. Letters from Frankfort of 9th Sept. state that the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, on his return from the Waters of Ems, will reside in the above town. Accounts from Key West, dated the 30th July, say— " We have not heard any thing of the Spanish expedi tion since it sailed; but it appears by late advices that additional troops are arriving at Havannah from Spain." Sir ROBERT GARDINER, who is now at Ems with Prince LEOPOLD, has given an unqualified contradiction to the statement which has appeared, of the Prince having discontinued a pension of 241. bestowed by the late Prin cess CHARLOTTE. _ _ _ The exterior of Wellesley-house, lately called Apoley house, is now finished, with its three fronts of Portland stone, and its splendid Corinthian decorations. To give uniformity, false windows have been introduced at the south-western angle, but the illusion is made perfect by the use of plate-glass. In the interior, the attentions of the superior artists now employed are directed to the principal apartment, which is ninety feet long by thirty five : this will be the ball-room. Sculptors, Olden, and ornamental painters, have commenced their - operations. This apartment will contain, during the day, invisible mirrors, and at night they will fill up the space which is occupied by the windows. The other principal rooms will be a suite of eight drawing-rooms, with numerous boudoirs, and an extensive corridor. The only room re maining of the old house is the banquetting-hall, which was built by the DUKL for his Waterloo dinners. The calculation is, that the whole will be finished about the close of the winter, and that his Grace will give his first entertainment therein on St. George's Day. AMERICAN NOVELTIES. Flom the American Papers just received. ANOTHER ANTI-SOCIETY.-A Correspondent says, —A Female Anti-kick-the•dog-and.punch-the-ire-society was formed st Matawandleas, Me. on the I 1 th ult. This truly looks like a " reform." --- IsvEusiox.---The editor of the Nantucket Inquirer says be prints advertisements livened, to accommodate such of his patrons as stand ea their heads to read.

An adder was killed in Bradford, Mass. last week, which, on being opened, was found to contain upwards of forty young ones I SACRILEGE.—Some impious rogue broke into a meet ing-house in Hubbardstown about a fortnight since, and " felo niously and forcibly carried away the bell rope, and part of the pulpit trinesiep." The Select men have offered 200 dollars teward for the detection of this fellow, who appears to have been in so great need of a baker and a shroud. DARING ROBBERY.—Tuesday a respectably-dressed young man went into the shop of Messrs. Gurney, linen-drapers, In the Commerdal.road, and having requested to look at some Bandana handkerchiefs, a parcel containing a dozen of that descrip tion of ankle was placed on the counter for his inspection. The female who was serving him having occasion to turn her back to the counter, the cowardly ruffian struck her a violent blow on the side of the head that stunned her, and he then ran out of the shop, taking with him the parcel containing the silk handkerchiefs, and escaped. A MIRACLE OF HONESTY.—At a party the other evening several gentlemen contested the honour of having dote the most extraordinary thing. A Rev. D.D. was appointed to be the sole judge of their respective pretensions. One produced his tai lor's bill, with a receipt attached to it. A bon went through the room that this would not be outdone, when a second proved that he bad arrested his tailor for money lent to him. " The palm is his," was the universal cry ; when a third sheaved, " Gentlemen, I cannot boast of the feats of either of my predecesson. but nom returned to the owners two onahrellas that they bad left at my house." " I'll bear no more," cried the arbiter ; " dish the very mph, ultra of honesty and unheard-of deeds ; it is an act at whys@ of which I never knew any person capable. The rise is yours." The Richmond Enquirer does not approve of General Jackson's course, in appointing so many editors to °Mee. Not that the General's appointments are bad ; but that it is a bad pre. cadent; and that when Mr. Oay's turn comes be win play the old Harry with it. THE KING.

It maintains seventy boys on the foundation, besides fifty-five others, who contribute a small sum towards the funds, which, from the extreme respectability of the managers, are, we have no denht, wisely and prudently administered.
