Consols, which left off on Saturday at 79i for the Account, opened this morning at 79i,. and soon after reached WA i with an aprarent rising market.' The business doing is mostly anseng the Jobbers, who, for some time past, have sold borrowed Sttick to the Public, and they are now trying to put chase it back again. In the Foreign market, Mexican Bonds, which left off on Satur day at 644 to I, rose, immediately the market was opened, to 66, with a good deal doing: since which, they are not quite so good, and may be quoted at 644.

Consols. which at the commencement of the Market was at 795, and soon after rose to 805, has, within this hour, receded to 801-8 to h for the Account; in the earlier part of the morning a good deal of business was doing, since which the Market has slackened; the fluctuation in Consuls this morning has been about 'pet Cent. This sudden rise is attributed to a report that the Bank is going to discount at 4 per Cent. In the Foreign Market there has been a great fluctuation in Mexican Bonds, which reached in the earlier part of the day to 66, since which they have fallen again to 625, and were done at 62. The news from the Havannah has had the effect of lowering :Mexican 4 per Cents. this morning.

Ili II 7} 7 Accounts are in town from the Havannah, via France, to the Bth of August. They state that General LABORDE, who had returned from his first expedition, was en the eve of departing on a second, to consist of one sail of the line, five frigates, and several cor vettes; destination not known. Letters were also re ceived at the Havannah from Vera Cruz, stating that a vessel had arrived there from Bordeaux, with Spanish passengers, but they sere obliged to re-embark, by order of the Mexican Government, and sail for the United States. Accounts from Lisbon state, that it was again re ported there, that Spain WAS going to establish a Cordon Senitaire, composed of all the Royal Guards in Spain. The Hamburgh mail has brought us accounts from St. P, tersburgh to the 2,1 September inclusive, and ft om Moscow to the 25th. An article from St. Petersburgh states, that a hi rde of Persians had made an irruption into the Russian territory, and treats it altogether as a very serious affair. Preparations have commenced for the corouation of the Emperor NICHOLAS, and a round of eni fetes, reviews, &c. are proceeding. The following are extracts: ST.PETERSBUGH, AUGUST 18.-(30.) Despatches from General Yentatuff, who commands in Georgia, have brought accounts of an it ruption made by the Persians into several parts of the Russian terri tory. These first accounts, transmitted in haste, do not enable us to understand the character of this aggression. Is it an effect of the fanatical preachings, which have for a long time past taken place in Persia, and which seem to have caused a great fermentation in that country? Have the tribes near our frontier yielded to that inclina tion to plunder and rapine,*which constantly animates them ? Have their Chiefs favoured their proceedings ? —Have they been unable to sustain them ? or, lastly, are we to ascribe so unjust, so sudden an invasion, to the Court of Persia itself ? Can that Court have vio lated, in such a degree, the peace and the treaties which guarantee it? Can it have, al at once, taken a resolu tion to attack us sii.hout motive and without object? Such are the questions %hick occur, but which the Go vernment is not yet able to answer. The reciprocal advar.ttges secured to Sonia and to Persia by the treaty of Gulistan—the friendly relations between them since the conclusion of that treaty—the absence of all erounds for a serious difterence—the mission of Major Prince Merzikow to the Schah to announce to him the accession of his Majesty tie Em peror to the throne, and to confirm and strengthen the fliendship and good understanding between the two Stattes--the tcception he net with (do his arrival in the Persian territory—the attention paid to him—the friendly assurances lavished on him by the pre sumptive heir to the Crown Prince, every thing gave reason to presume the stabi icy and the dura tion of the peace. Tnat the Court of Teheran should reply to this mission by a sudeen attack, that it should imn:e.iately follow up those assurances by war without explanation, and without any previous declaration, even without any pretext ttlit might justify it, is an event so strange, that the Imperial Government cannot credit it, till it has received entire confirmation and authentic proofs of it. Accordingly while General Yermaloff has received orders to repel force by force, and to clear our frontiers of the hordes that have dared to pass them : on the other hand solemn satisfaction has been demanded of the Schah of Persia. Russia has demanded fr - .m that Sovereign the immediate deposi tion and exemplary punishment (within the term of five days) of the chief who first violated our frontiers. If contrary to all expectation this satisfaction should not be given, General Yermaloff was immediately to ad vance and commence offensive operation ; the justice of , our cause would ensure to our arms the Divine protec• lion, and the chastisement would be as exemplary as the attack has been presumptuous and perfidious. The public will be regularly and accurately informed of every thing relative to the state of affairs on the Iroutiers of Persia. Preparations are already beginning to be made in this capital for the rejoicings at the Coronation of their Imperial Majesties. Stages are erecting in all quarters for the illuminations, which promise to be brilliant. ~ Scrr. 2.—A notion may be formed of the number of travellers going to Moscow for the coronation from the fact, that to the 500 post-horses at each stage it has been necessary to add 500 more ; 507 were required for the numbers of the diplomatic body alone. The drivers and peasants who supply the horses have gained more in a month than they usually do in a year. Dutch Papers to the 16th, and Hamburg!: Papers to the 12th, have been received. The following are ex. tracts: STOCKHOLM, &mann 5. His Majesty is going to take a little excursion to Upland to view the Waddo Canal, but will return by the end of the week to Drot ningsholmi ist.—The dog days are passed, and from the beginning of them to this day we have not had on the whole two or three hours rain, so that if the weather does not change, we may expect a complete scarcity in 11127, as it will be impossible to prepare the ground for the autumnal sowing. COPENHAGEN, Sermons 9. The prices of corn continue to rise, because purchases are made on speculation, in expectation of exportation. HAARLEM, SirrimsEß 15. It seems that the number of sick in the military hospital at Gro ningen, as stated by us, was too great, there having been more than 240 patients in it at one time. From the 31st August to 7th Sep tember, the number of deaths was the same as in the preceding week, viz. 149; and on the Bth and 9th September, 48 persons had died. HAMBURGH, Szernesan 12. Private letters from St. Petersburgh say that the Coronation is bird for 3d September. The Minister of War, who bad been de tained at Petersburgh by very important business, bas received a letter from Geueral Diebitsch, summoning him to repair with all speed to Moscow. Lisbon Gazettes to the 3d instant have been received. The Istrarru was going to spend some days at Cintra for the re covery of her health, but previously to her departure she had caused an address to be issued, calling upon the Portuguese youth to volun teer and fill the ranks of the araly, " in defence of their country, their King, the Constitution, and the public liberties." The French Morning and Evening Papers of Thurs day and Friiay have been received. Their contents are net very striking. One of them says Lord Cocusaing is at Messina, waiting for the Greek steam-boats: waiting, as &grey Mt iiticap would word it, " for boats what volt swiss !" The following Circular, addressed by Mr. Secretary CANNING to the friends of Government, will shew that no business of importance beyond passing the Indemnity Bill, therein mentioned, which cannot encounter the slightest opposition, will call for a full attendance of Members before Christmas: 6 ' Downing-street, Sept. 7, 1826. " Sta—Parliament being summoned to meet on the 14th of I November for the despatch of business, I take the liberty of ap prising yon that the objects which his Majesty's Government have in •iew at this meeting, are to obtain the sanction of Parliament to the measures which have been adopted for admitting certain kinds of Foreign Grain for Home Consumption before they would have been, by law, regularly admissible for that purpose, and to elect a Speaker, and complete the other formal proceedings incident to the opening of a new Parliament. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your faithful and obedient Servant, " GEORGE CANNING." WINDSOR, SEPT. 17.—This morning his MAJESTY and suite attended Divine Service in the private Chapel in the Royal Lodge,which was performed by the Rev. Dr. PIAIIION, Dean of Salisbury. Her Royal Highness the Princess AUOISTA, attended by her Lady in Waiting, and accompanied by the Duchess of New- CASTLK, attended Divine Service in the Parish Church. The Duke of Sussex paid a visit to his Royal Brother the Duke of You', yesterday afternoon, at the residence of the Duke of RUTLAND, in Arlington -street. The Loan CHANCILLOIL and the Duke of WXLLINGTON also paid visits yesterday to his Royal Highness, as did the Royal Duke's Medical Attendant% Sir REMY HALIVID and Mr. Macoaraos. His Royal Highness was engaged on Saturday transacting official business with his Military Secre tary, the Adjutant and Quarter Master Generals, &c. The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived at his residence in Piccadilly ou Saturday evening, from a shooting excursion. Preparations are making in the interior of the new Palace building for the Kum, in St. James's Park, for the reception of the superb marble chimney pieces, and a great portion of the furniture, fixtures, &c. from the Palace In Pall Mall. They are to remain in the Riding House, itc. till the new Palace s ready to re ceive them. ----- 13nrouxow, SEPT. 16.—1 t is confidently expected that his Royal Highness the Duke of Yogic will arrive at the Palace in a few days. His Grace the Duke of Nosvout left Arundel Cas tle on Sunday fur his seat, Farnham, Suffolk.—Saturday, Mr. Sinn- SMITH, of Arlington, received the contents of a fridsd s gun, in his knee and thigh, and is not expected to recover. DUELS.—A meeting took place early on Saturday morning, on Hounslow Heath, between Captain and Mr. S. in consequence of a dispute at a coffee-house in Oxford-street. The Captain was severely wounded in the side, and carried off the ground in a dangerous state.—At an early hour on Saturday morn ing, another duel was fought on Fincbley Common, between Cap tain B. and W. G. D. Esq. which arose in consequence of the latter Gentleman making use of some severe reflections on the cha racter of a celebrated actress (performing at the Haymarket The atre), at a club house in St. Jantes's-street. Both parties fired, and the shots not taking effect, the seconds declared themselves satisfied, and thus the affrir termin.ted. - - Letters from Dieppe mention a shooting party at the seat of the Countess de CA iuorr, at Derchigny, in which the Duchess of BERRY cut a conspicuous hgure. According to these letters, the Princess killed game at the distance of sixty yards. Her Royal Highness also killed a fox. The Algemeinc Zeitung 'tares that a Bank is to be established at Antwerp, by a Society there, for the encourage ment of national industry. Prince Mutton, Governor of Servia, is said in these Papers to have caused the tongue and hands of a respectable foreign subject at Belgrade to be cut off, because be had copied some of the Greek addresses in favour of emancipation—and the individual to be given up in that mutilated state to the Austrian quarantine THE ARMY. Saturday morning the 63d Regiment of Infantry, commanded by Colonel Bonus, was reviewed in Windsor Great Park, by the Adjutant General, Sir Hexer Touszes, K.C.B. This Regiment has but recently arrived from Ireland, where it had landed from the West Indies, at which station it had remained several years, and bad greatly distinguished itself at the taking of Guadaloupe. It has been, since its return, recruiting to its full complement, and the soldier like appearance which it digplayed this day was alike credit able to its past achievements, and presented a promise of its future exertions in the path of glory. The 10th Regiment of Foot, stationed in Castlebar fur some time past and the contiguous quarters, have received a route for Galway, Ste. The 10th, whose conduct and demeanour s bile in Castlebar, have been highly creditable, marched On the 15th instant, and was relieved by the 75th. DREADFUL FIRES. LIS MORE, Sere. 11. Saturday night last a melancholy and awful circumstance occurred at Deerpark, within a mile of this town. The dwelling-house of a poor man named Lynch, together with himself and the entire of his family (who were then in the house), consisting of his wife, Infant child, and servant man, with all his effects, were reduced to ashes ! DUBLIN, Seer. 14. Yesterday morning, about five o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in a court in the rear of Chancery-lane. The fire originated in the workshop of a cabinet-maker named Brice, from the workmen incautiously scattering sawdust, on the preceding evening, over a quantity of live embers, in order to keep the fire in: This having, in the courp of the night, communicated with some shavings and other combustible matter lying convenient, quickly enveloped the pre mises and a tenement adjoining. inhabited by a watchmaker named Kelly, and his two sons, in flames. The inmates of a house in the front, were aroused iu time merely to preserve their lives and a few moveables. Kelly and his sons bad also effected their escape from the flames, when one of the sons returned into the house to endeavour to recover some article, when the floor giving way, he fell, overwhelmed among the burning ruins ! LANCASTER, SEPT. 16. Friday evening, the Bth nst. as the turnkeys were locking up the gaol, on passing one of the empty cells in the fourth division, they thought the bed appeared to be higher on the bedstead side than usual. They en tered the cell and found one of the prisoners, convicted at the last Assizes, laid flat on his face, and covered up with the bed. It proved to be Old Bardsley, who had been employed by the Chaplain to read to Wainwright, one of the prisoners ordered for execution the next day. Bardsley was immediately removed into an adjoining cell, and the turnkeys proceeded to lock him up. On the next landing they found Dyson in the cell which Bardsley should have been in, and Dyson's cell empty. ] Several of the cells being then empty, in consequence of the men having been removed to the hospital, the prisoners, no doubt, supposed that the trick would not be found out. After the locking up of the prisoners was finished, the officers returned to search Bardsley and Dyson, to discover what preparations they had made to escape: they found uponßxrdsley two keys made of wood, and a large nail, for the purpose of drilling the keys, and a bundle of shirts and stockings, all in readiness for de parture. This man Bardsley had, no doubt, been em ploying his time in fitting these keys instead of reading to the unhappy man Wainwright. Rafferty, the other prisoner, could read, and he requested that he might be allowed a candle, this indulgence was granted; and in case Bardsley had not been discovered, with this candle he was to have fitted the keys, and have let Wainwright and Rafferty, together with all the capital convicts, into the lobby of the cells. The Chaplain had fixed to call at eight o'clock in the morning to see Wainwright, and it is believed that he, together with the turnkey, was to have been seized and secured, and the keys taken from them, and they were to proceed to scale the outer wall. It is truly lamentable that Rafferty and Wain wright should have been employing their time in this way, instead of preparing for that awful change they were in a few hours to undergo. Ministers have relieved the Duke of YORK from the expense of building the new Palace in the Green Park, and have undertaken to complete the design. The edifice is hereafter to be considered as the residence of the Heir Apparent, or Heir Presump tive to the Throne. His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK is going on extremely well. His Royal Highness has undergone the operation of tapping, which he bore with the greatest &nuns, and fortitude, and has felt greatly relieved since its performance. It has for some days been confidently reported in the City, that the affairs of Greece may be considered, as settled, and that she will henceforth take her station amongst the civilized nations of Europe. It is under. stood, that immediately after the coronation of the Emperor NICOLAS, at Moscow, the views of the leading European Powers, particularly those of England and Russia, on this important subject, will be made public, and that one of the objects of Mr. CANNING'S Visit to Paris is to communicate to the French Government the wishes of his BRITANNIC MAJESTY that his Mosr CHRISTIAN MAJESTY would join in a policy which must go far to consolidate the peace which at present, with the exception of Greece and Spain, happily exists in Europe. It is farther very currently rumoured, that the Right Hon. Secretary will, before his return home, explain to the French Government the views of his MAJESTY respecting Spain ; and that measures will be jointly adopted by England and France to alleviate, if they cannot cure, the despotism and oppression under which the unfortunate subjects of FERDINAND have for some time laboured. The settlement of the distractions of Greece and Spain is the only thing now wanted to complete the general tranquillity; and it is with sincere pleasure we understand that this most desirable object will now speedily be obtained.—Ledger. Monday, the Vittoria transport, Lieutenant Gam, agent, arrived from Quebec, with defective Govern ment stores, and discharged soldiers, together with some returned settlers, whose illness and poverty pre vented their remaining in that country. At the sailing cf the Vittoria, 8400 settlers, including children, had arrived out from Scotland and Ireland this season, and about 4000 more were expected. These adventurers, on landing, are imm diately passed on to the northern shores of the lakes Erie and Ontario, and located en the banks of the streams running into these lakes. The harvest in Canada had nut been begun, but the season promised an abundant crop of wheat, Vie whole of which would be embarked for this country, as the growers can supply themselves with American Sour far their own consumption. There had been only four or five new ships built at Quebec this year. It had been determined not to build another vessel of the dimen sions of the Columbus or Renfrew. Lord Datmonstz, G ove{nor• General of the Canadas, bad gone to Halifax, to arrange with S r JAMES Kzurr, the Governor of Nova Scotia, and American Commissioners, on some questions respecting the back Linea boundary between the two countries.—Hampshire Telegraph. Fl DK—Friday n ght, about six t. cluck, a fire bloke out in one of the new premises situated in Waterloo Road, nearly opposite to the Ruyal Infirmary for Children. The fitly element blazed forth with the must destructive fury from the windows of the second floor, and although the engines were on the spot, and played on the burning materials, the fire communicated to the roof of the dwelling, which fell in with a terrific crash. No further damage, bowt.vtr, was done. • DItOADSTAIRS. The Assembly Rooms built by the late S. Nu - kol, was most numerously attended on Friday last, the 15 t h instant, by all the fashion and beauty of the Isle o f Thanet. T. e Isle never could boast of more Islobili.y and beauty than at the present lime ; the Ball-room w,, t attended by about one hundred cf the most f.shirmable and elegant Ladies in the Isle. Drncing commenced at half-past nine, and was kept up with great spit it until twelve, when the gay throng retired to the refreshme nt room, and partook of a very neat and elegant tepast, which was tastefully set out, and decorated with flow er . After supper, dancing was resumed until two o'clock, when the company departed highly gratified. Mete has been a considerable change of company at this place, and although the houses have been gener..ll) r e . engaged before they were empty, there are now sevctal unoccupied. ' Among the late arrivals we have noticed the Duchess of Rol. borough, the Earl of Shaftsbury, Captain Is3acke and family, Mr. Ramscock, Mr. Temple Halyard, Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Creed Halford, Mrs. G.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. September 15, 13 0 6. SlR—The importance of the subject of the Naviga. tion Laws, and the delusion which the pub' cation of Mr. Huskisson's speech is calculated to diffuse, renders it an imperious duty to expose, as shortly as possible its futility, and this can be the more effectually accom. plished by a mere statement of facts. A great many words are employed by Mr. Huskisson to explain the origin of the Navigation Laws, when it may be at once known they were laws of protection ; and that they have answered this purpose to a great extent the history of our marine, naval or commercial, will forcibly demon• strafe; indeed, these two objects are so intimately con nected, that the navy cannct be adequately manned, w t an extended employ of our merchant ships, n ese protected without an ericient navy. That the operation of these laws should be injurious to foreign shipping, was, till the discovery of Mr. Huskisson, con. sidered 33 a good to this nation, rather than an evil; how far its application should have been extended in our colonies is a subject of doubt, but as we empli ourselves, we strengthen our own means, *He, by 4 contrary system, we increase the power of our cornps titors, and decrease our own : this is proved by the in. crease of foreign shipping, particularly Prussian, in con veying to us the great article of freight (lumber), for which they have no other market they can supply, and our present policy is to encourage the Prussian, not only to bring to us what no other nation will take, but place him on equal terms with our own ships, when it is notorious, he can navigate at less than half our ex penses, thus shutting out of employ our second class, and coal ships (in the summer), and strengthen our rivals by being their best and only customers, and giving to them full employ in the carrying trade from tin north of Europe, to the exclusion of our former trade; so that they hive reversed the state of employ, they being as six to one now—whereas, under oar old policy, the freight was with us in that disproportion ; thereby injuring and neglecting our own colonies, in which British capital, British ships, British seamen, and British manufactures ate sure of being only and exclusively employed. The question, then, of policy, with respect to our Navigation Laws, is to be tried by the tendency tiv se new lights are calculated to produce in the decrease of our shipping, and the increase of foreign shipping, in the largest carrying trade we have, under which we are the only purchaser; to any extent (lumber ), with the in• crease of foreign ships for that object. N., man con versant with this trade can doubt we shall be gradually upon this new policy excluded from it. Ihe compari• son as to the increase of our shipping, generally, is no answer to the inflicting this particular loss and injury, as the madness of the two last years, caused by the arti ficial diffusion of capital, by the erroneous calculations of the Government, the Bank, and Bankers, is no data upon which our prosperity or security can rest; as we leave ourselves unprotected, while a debt of eight hun dred millions renders it impel iously necessary we should maintain protecting laws, and thus prevent that de structive competition, in which our industry will be in effectual—indeed, in which it will be destroyed, and other nations set up for themselves, and be the substitute for the employment of our increasing population—es pecially if the mad system of free trade extends to the importation of corn. The foreigner will increase in his gains to our loss, and discouragement to this nation, who will then have an idle agricultural population, and a destructive increase (to human labour) of machinery, to partially encourage a sickly vicious race ot manu facturers. would might uldprev en en i t ar thgee upon aten these tionofsudbiej posed only to read short addresses; but it am quite e p c u t s b , i c i , d w I h n o o t a fear re dis. it disposed further to elucidate this subject t these pro positions should be questioned.

GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—There was a grand Selection on Thursday morning of Sacred Mu , :c, at the C.- thedral, which wu filed in every part. The Concert in the evening, at the Shire Hall, attracted near 1000 persons. The body of a yi.ung man named CHRIsTiWitERsoN, has been taken out of the Brunswick Duck, Liverpool, with every appearance of having been robbed and murdered. The Inquest has .returned a verdict to that effect. _ %hen the New Post-office is finishe', and it is now coveted in and rapidly advancing, the several mail coaches are to receive the bags at the donrs of the Post-olbcc, and thus al. necrss:ty for mail carts will be superseded.
