The warm and generous sympathy which has been excited throughout the country by the extraordivary and alarming terms in which the Bulletin of the 15th instant 30 unexpectedly announced that his MAJESTY was la bouring under severe and even serious indisposition, is as honourable to the personal character of the Soy E REW , and to the grateful feelings of his loyal and de votedly attached subjects, as the speculations of which the Kr re's illness has so indecently been made the subject are discreditable to the parties with whom they originat ed, and disgraceful to the Press by which they have been encouraged and disseminated. True it is, the High Office —the Chief Magistracy of the realm—is public property, and a matter of public interest ; and so far, perhaps, the consequences likely to arise from any personal contin rnc.y, ?night allowably be brought into public discussion in extreme cases : but there was nothing, even in the most alarming announcement of any of the circumstances of hit; MAJP.SIY . S indisposition, which could warrant the in decorous precipitancy with which results have been cal collated, and anticipations indulged, as well by the par tizans of men in power, as by the advocates of those who aspire to place. That the imprudent and impolitic mea stores of the present Ministry have rendered its members, collectively and individually obnoxious, to the bitterest cen3ures, and to the most indignant reprehensions of the people, we not only admit, but shall never cease to assert ; and that their retirement or disamissal from a station in which their incapacity and obstinacy have been produc tive only of the most disastrous consequences, would be hailed as a great national blessing, we unhesitatingly express our firm belief : but that their removal from power should be desired at the expense of so momentous a national calamity as some party writers have not scrupled to calcu late upon, betrays an excess of political rancor, or factious real, which we cannot calmly contemplate. But whilst w e thus condemn the splenetic, inveteracy with which some Opposition Journals have suffered their passions and their prejudices to hurry them on to such a violation of public decency, and such an outrage of popular feeling ; the more severely should we censure the indelicacy with which the pretensions of the great Leader of the Cabinet have been advocated in a Paper which is said to have been established under Ministerial auspices, and to be conducted under the direct influence of the Mi nister whom it so unmeritedly panegyrises. From the Intelligence of yesterday we select the following pas sage, and we must say, that a more unworthy attempt was newer made to uphold an unpopular leader, nor could a more,anfitting occasion have been chosen for dragging the merits of a political patron Tito such invidious dis cession : We see sorry to say that two leading members of a party which bids fah' to be soon extinct, devised a scheme by which they hoped, in tSe event of the Kr xo's demise, and with the aid of a party entirely opposed to them on general principles, but who, they imagined. would join diem, to remove the Duke of Wsz.z.iwicis hoes the Cabinet, acd endrely remodel the Oovernmeet. Considering the ill success sf ti former attempt of this kind when the illustrious paramoar who was addressed, replied, that he looked to measures, not men, and that he was well satisfied with those of the Duke of WELLtwo- TON, we are rather surprised that the attempt should have been, even though in an indirect channel, repeated ; particularly since they must have known that the illustrious person in question had pointedly expressed his determination to make no change in the event of a calamity which was then regarded, and which we still re gard, as distant, except by permitting the admission to power of certain individuals whose auistance was required by the Cabinet, but who were, from private circumstances which could not influence ' the individual in question personally, obnoxious. That their recent attempt has failed, is highly creditable to the good sense of the par ties through whom it was wished to he made, and satisfactory to the country, which has thus an assurance, that, in the event of a cala mity which we pray Con long to avert, there will be no change of policy, either foreign or domestic. The administration of the inw can never he effectual— 1 because it can never maintain its high influence upon the minds of men—if its power be trifled with, or if its func tions be not executed with discretion and moderation, but at the same time with consiitencv and firmness. In ani madverting, a few days since, upon the extraordinary conduct of Mr. HALLS, one of the Bow-street Magi strates, we had occasion to notice the humane determi nation upon which Mr. CONST hall acted in refusing to proceed to the trial of cases where the parties—parties in deed !—placed at the Bar of 3 z•stice were of such tender age, that conformably to the dictates of common sense, ho could not consider them capable of committing a felony —because net capable of conceiving or forming any jut notion of what was, or was not, a felonious intent. The propriety of such a deciiioa has been abundantly proved by two cases which have lately rendered the awful tribunal of the Criminal Bat little more than a mockery. About a fortnight since, a little girl was put upon her trial for stealing a bit of coal, cf the value of one farthing! And this youthful delinquent was of such diminutive di mensions, that the gaoler was obliged to hold her up in the dock, in order that the judge might see the culprit, and the jury " look to their prisoner." Last week two boys were tried, at the Old Bailey Sessions, flu• stealing a small tin dish, in which a tart of tho va lue of one penny was contained ! ! To say nothing of the contempt into which the judgment-scat may thus be brought by the air of ridicule which must infallibly be cast upon its proceedings; the time—the valuable time— of respectable and industrious tradesmen is consumed in the investigation of such trumpery charges ; a serious ex pense is incurred hy the country for rewarding " the active officers" by whom these desperate offenders were brought to condign punishment—and paying the fees of office " those turnpike tolls on the highways of justice ;" and worse than all, the wretched urchins are deprived of their liberty, and locked up in prison amongst a set of ruffians, whose " evil communication" cannot but affect their young minds. It is time that such an abuse of our system of jurisprudence should be done away with CITY, TuELVE O'CLOCK. Although his Majesty's health is nearly restcrd, and no more bulletins expected to be published, our funds are not so good u when they left off on Saturday at 93e for the account, and opened at the same price this morning; since which have teen done at 921, 93, 921, for money. Nothing doing as yet in the foreign market. The Mexican Packct has arrived by the Mutine sailed from Vera Cruz Lith February, from the Havannah March, and Tam. pico 27th January. New York Papers, two days later, to the Ilbit March ; Calcutta Papers to the 18th December ; and Chatleswwn Papers to the 23d March, have been received at the North and South American Coffee house. The New York papers state that accounts have been received, by way of Baltimore, of an insurrection having broken out in the island of Cuba. It was discovered; and .General Viva issued a Proclamation on the subject, calling upon the Inhabitants to be faithful to their King. Several arrests took place in the island, and the conspiracy appears to have been insignificant. Accounts from Lima state that the times are most distressing in Peru, and no change was expected until the middle of next year. Advices had reached there from Valparaiso, stating that the pro. vince of Conception had declared itself independent, and was at open war with Chili. The insurgents were marching on to St Jago the capitol most of the foreigners had left. Accounts from Mexico state that nearly all the general comman. den of the different states have been changed. General Teran goes to Texas on account of the continued rumours concerning the pre. tensions and projects of the Anglo Americans. From the Cakulta Price Current. COT TON.—We have heard of no sales in this during the past week; quotations nominal. Imatoo.—The sales in this have been extensive; the market has rather a heavy appearance. The new crop is coming in fast. EUROPE GOODS—Piece goods very limited, going off at re. duced rates. Twist sales very limited, at reduced rates. Freights to London 31. to 31. 10s. dead weight, and 41. to 61. light freights. Onum.—We have heard of no transactions in this since the Honourable Company's sale held at the Exchange on Monday Wt; the sale went off with briskness. PIECE GOODS.—The sides during the past week have been al. most entirely confined to silk goods. SALTPETRE.—The demand has been rather languid; prices a shade lower. In the John Bull paper of Calcutta, of the 18th Dec. there are very long accounts of the speeches at a public Meeting of the Na tires and Merchants, to petition against the East India Company's monopoly, which was carried. The private letters from Mexico appear to be very satisfactory ; all remains tranquil there, and confidence beginning to be restored. Liviaroor. Aran. 17.—The import of Cotton this week reached 20,874 bags, and the sales ate 13,580 bags at rather higher prices for Brasil, and at steady rates for other descriptions-- British Plantation Sugar has been sold this week, in some instabees at rather lower prices. In Foreign nothing has been done. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. The City is again alarmed by surmises and reports in regard to his Mua,Tl's•health. It is again the current report, that the Kura has had a relapse, which originates from large sales of Stock being effected by the same parties who bad the first information of his illness. It is u great neglect that Bulletins are not issued, which would be a saving of thousands of pounds to the publie, and pre vent the gambling on such an unfortunate occasion. Consols, which were in the early part of the day at 934, have re ceded to 924 4 for the Account, and at present they are 926 4, and for Money, 221. In the Foreign Market, Spanish bonds has fallen 1 per cent. owner to the expedition sailing from Cadiz. Mexican bonds are also lower, and the other foreign securities are also heavy. . . .

Bombay Papers to the end of December, announce ti.,l departure of Sir T. Bradford, bite Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay army, for England, and contradict the report which had been current of the annulment of the half-batta order which had occasioned such dissatisfaction in the army. Letters were received last week from the new setti, • ment at Swan River, from an Officer in the Army, repre senting to his family the location as most excellent. H. is about twelve miles from the sea shore, and describe= the soil as excellent, with abundance of water and wood. Its geographical situation is unquestionab,y good with reference to the India settlements, the Maritius, and 6 Cape of Good Hope. The accounts from Tunis and Bona of the resources e: Algiers coincide in the common belief that the Dey'• coffers are well supplied. It is understood that he his well-organized force of 90,000 men, besides an army of lArabs, which, if not well paid, could not be kept toge ther; and great energy is described to exist in all the dspastments of his Government, to repel the threatened invasion. The following is an extract of a letter from a British slicer, dated Constantinople, March 11, 1830 :—" Upon the proposal of the English Ambassador, Vice-Admiral Tahir Pacha will be despatched to Algiers, for the purpose of persuading the Dey to come to an ar rangement with France, and of pointing out to him the dangers he would be exposed to in case a strong body of French troops should effect a landing. A fa vourable result from Tahir Pacha's mission is looked fot here, since the Dey will no doubt listen to a Turkish ani• baseador before any other. The sad disasters lately e' parienced by the Porte may also serve him as a loom not to trifle with a power like that of France. Taint- Pacha will have full powers to act in case of necessity as mediator between the Dey and the French Government. Between Constantinople and Alexandria, a regular con veyance for letters will forthwith be established, in which two steam vessels are to be employed. His Britannic Majesty's ship Blonde is lying at anchorage at this port." S 5 191 11 10:1 13,427 1 ;29. 4.7!Nr fGil 1,176 2,18 z, 3.1 , .. 1,12 i) f;29 11 1113
