This report had the effect of lowering Consols to 87i fur the Account, which in the earlier part of she morning were done at 871 ; but within these few minutes, a trifling reaction has taken place, and Consols may now be quoted at 871 for the Account: a good deal has been doing.

After the ruing of the Cabinet Council yesterday afternoon, a Messenger was sent off with dispatches to Mr. Hums:tom. With regard to the Ministry, there is, at present, ab solutel; nothing new, except that the appointment of the Duke of. PORTLAND to the Presidency of the Council was rutted last night. Letters, dated the 16th ult. have been received by an eminent House in the City from Constantinople. They contain no news whatever ; but they state, as the opinion of the best informed Europeans in that capital, that the Porte will accept the terms of pacification, proposed to it by England, Russia, and France. A report prevails in the City. that only one ship of the line is going to Lisbon. to replace the four ships sent from thence to the Mediterranean. We received this morning the Algeoneine Zeiteng to the 13th instant, containing the substance of private letters from Constantinople of the 10th ult. We are glad to find by these letters that a report was very pre valent there, that an English squadron with six thou sand troops on board was expected at Corfu. Though this report, as most of our readers are aware, was false, still it v)cruld have great influence upon the important negotiations pending in that capital. To obtain con cessions from the Turks, it is absolutely necessary to ap peal to their fears; and we therefore rejoice to learn that they are generally impressed with the belief, that the British Government, of which they stand more in awe, than of all the other Great Powers put together, is determined to enforce its demands in favour of the Greeks. In the meantime, the Ambassadors of all the Great P )wers held frequent conferences; and it is said that scarcely a day passed, without a courier arriving or departing. The first Dragoman of the Austrian Legation, who had lately arrived (roan Vienna, had almost d .ily conferences with the Turkish Mi . lusters. Austria is no cl.iubt desirous to bring thele im portant negotiations to an amicable issue ; and her neutrality, reprehensible as it is in principle, has an undoubted tendency to befriend her wishes. The Algenteine Zeitung has also advices from Patr.is of the 10th ul4. The Turkish fleet had left that harbour on the 12th of July for Nlodon, whets it was to wait for the Egyptians fleet. Two thousand mules had arrived at Patras from Albania, for the use of the Egyptian troops. Of the movements of the latter, no men ion is made; and this silence countenances a report in the French Papers, which arrived last nigh., that laaa utu PAmt,being apprised of the intentions of England, Prune, and Russia., in favour of the Greek., had ceased to act offensively against that people. We also receiv:-41 this mowing Frankfoit Papers to the - 14th instaht, irr which it is stated, under the head of Semlin, August 1, that Tartars, who had arrived there from Seres, brought word, that a corps of newly or ganized troops was on its march through that part of the country to support the SKRASEIsa in suppressing the Greek insurrection. Arm anent' were makung through out the Ottoman Empire for the speedy attainment of this object; and yet these de rionstrations Mill nether impose upon the Allied Powers, our produce the least relaxation in thr ir de 'lands. The Austrian Obscener, which 1 kewisc came to hand this morning to the 1 Jth insr, c rntaina no sews whatever. Since writing the above, there ha , been an /II iVil Of . Dutch Papers to the 21st inst. Coder the head o .I Vienna, 9th August, it is stated that Prince.Msrraa- AIM bad left that city the day before, for his estates in mirk where, it irreported, he will make but a short in the first instance.. The tumour is revive 3 that ' 'be s to w ?it on the King of Peussirt at Toplitz and that he wii also proceed to Dresden, to pay his re spects to the King of S %amts. To judge from the number of official persons who accompany this Minis. ter, it is des that recrertion or mere courtesy is not the object of his journey. Amongst these we find the names of Count DC Massey, Baron DR Pour, and BA MD CHARLES DR SIMMER, who all hold high situations in the foreign department. It is supposed that Prince METTSRNICH, after his visit to Toplitz and Dresden, will return to his estates in Bohemia, and transact there the business of his office till the end of September. He is certainly a clever and indefatigable man, and we are sorry we cannot add the word—good. The following are extracts from the Dutch Papers: BERLIN, Argun 4. His Majesty's birth-day was kept here yeast day, in the usual loyal and affectionate manner. It was to be regretted that the poems and speeches which the occasion called fertb. were so very indifferent, and that attachment to the King and his family were not able to inspire any one with a little poetic Are. The first Assembly of the States in the Grand Duchy of Posen is looked forward to with some anxiety. For some time past the disunion between the Germans and the Poles has continued to grow greater, and manifests itself especially on these occasions when both have to meet together for instance in the schools.

Yesterday was the birth-day of the Duke of CLA• serce, when his Royal Highness completed his sizty.second year.

Lord DUDLIT'S attention to the duties of the Foreign Office are unremitting; at first they were irksome but now they have become familiar to his habits. ills Lordship usually leaves town at six, for a cottage ornee, and returns is the morning at eleven o'cloCk precisely. It is an extraordinary circumstance that during the three months Lord PaLiimasecut bad perforated the duties having aU its patronage, not a single pies or Governorship became vacant. Friday evening, the bells of Gateshead Church an ima:wed the arrival of Lord and Lady Ravgaswoaru at their Castle in this neighbourhood.

H. D. Gamma. --- --•— --- ----- An erroneous idea has prevailed that the Court of King's Bench has deckled that groom are not game. This is not es —the decision was this—in a ease in which the Duke of Devon. wt as was a patty, it was held that grouse are not " birds of warren," witan the meaning of a Royal rant of free warren—but this does not make them less game than they were before. By the ancient forest laws, our Kings had a power (now happily no longer exer cised) of emitting to any of their subjects usually some great Noble , man, a right of free chase, or free warren over a certain large tract of country—and where this has Witt granted, no other person has the right of either hunting, or of killing "birds or beasts of warren," in any place over which this feudal right extends, without the leave of the King's grantee—and as the King's grantee may have a right , of free warren over lands of which he is not the owner, it may hap. pen that a Gentleman may have an estate of ten thousand a year, and yet not hoe the right of coursing a hare, or shooting a partridge on his own gate, without being liable to actions for damages, at the snit of some grantee of the Crown. whose right of free warren may !stand over every acre of his neighbour's large estate. His Grace of Devonian's' had a right of this sort, and it becoming a question whether a person bad infringed upon it by showing grouse, it WS{ held in the Court of King's Bench that he had not, because grouse did not come within the description of birds of warren.— However, persons who kill groins ;without being duly qualified le respect of estate, acc. or without having paid the game certificate dui ' , Are liable to penalties precisely as they were before this decision. Yesterday The RICORDZR of Lennox made his report to the Kum in Councli,of the following convicts lying under sentence of Death in Newgate—namely, William Briffet. aged 47, for horse stealing.

There is now a vast number of handy. upon the soil forming the banks of the canal. They seem to be riling mounds, and making excavations for the purpose of turning the water out of a straight course.

Join, CaAnuts 11111111111, whose *tidy, upright conduct, and• great and distinguished talents, have, more than any powerful influence, raised him to his pretest rank in his Majesty's Coital:Us, is the lineal male representative of one of the most ancient noble families in Scotland. Sir Herbert Henke, of Terreagles, the bead of a powerful family in Dumfriesshire, was descended from a gallant Knight, who bad accompanied the re nowned Rickard the First of England to the Holy Land, and who, on the return of the Crusaders, fled hie residence in the south of Scotland. This Sir Herbert was created by King James the Fourth, In *493, Lord.Herries, of Terreagles, and the tide condoned in the male line of his family till 1566, water William, the fourth Lord Herries, left an on daughter, the heiress of his estates. She became the wife. of Sir John Maxwell, snood son of Lord Maxwell, the sidesteps of the Sari of Mundell". The Maxwells were at that period Lords paramount in the south of Scotland, and the Earl of Nithsdale had solidest influence to get the title of Lord Herrin transferred to fib grandson, the said Sir John liaawell, to the pre. judice of the Hon. Charles Herrin, the only brother of the last Lord, and heir male of the family. The title, thus usurped, Mew tinned in the family of else Maiwells„ and was forfeited with their 1 other titles in 1715. The Hon. Charles Herrin bad still a very con 'eldership estate in Dumfriesshire; bat the sudden rise of Mlle newly introduced families Into that part of the kingdom, and their power and influence, soon trampled upon the ancient proprietors of the soil, and drove theta from their possessions. The descendants from the Noble House of Herries felt the weight of the lawless power of the Johnston, the Scots. and the Douglasscs, and their loyalty to the Stuart Dynasty completed their ruin, as It did that of many others o(the more ancient free Barons of the South. Mr. Herries ancestors emigrated to England, and in mercantile pursuits maintained s respectable rank, endeavouring to forget their noble descent. The respectable banking house of Messrs. Herrin, Far quhar, Halliday, and Co. was established by one of this family, and there are few of our readers but must recollect Colonel Retries, orthe City Light Horse. The Right -Honourable Gentle. man is now the only male representative of the Lords Manes.— W! believe it was the grandmother of the present Mr. Henin, of whom the anecdote Is told, that • when the rebels, In the year 1745, were marching through Dumfrietshire, on their route to Carlisle, an Officer and a party were sent to Halidykes, the seat of the family, to Impress the horses for the use of the Prince's army. Mrs. Herries was then big with child; sad when the Officer was emptying her husb'and's stables, she begged hard that one horse might be left, to enable her servant to bring the midwife. This the oMcer good•naturedly assented to, upon condition that the child, if a son, should be named amid% in honour of the Pretender. Mrs. ferries gave her promise, which she kept most faithfully, for her son was no sooner born than he was christened Charles Stuart."

A Meeting of the Shareholders in the Thames Tunnel Company was held yesterday at the City of London Tavern, to receive a communication from the Court of Directors, and a Report from the Engineer, Mr. Bauttax., of the steps which had been taken, since the last General Meeting of the Company, to clear the Tunnel from the influx of mud and earthy matter brought into it by the, late irruption of the Thames; and also to take into consideration what steps should be adopted by the Company, in the present state of the works, in order to 'I continue and carry them into complete effect. The Meeting was very numerously attended. Mr. WILLIAM Satre, the Member for Norwich, took the Chair. The Directors' Report stated that they had in hand only 25,0001. a sum quite inadequate to complete the Tun nel ; 40d the entire sum which could be raised under the Act of Parliament would be inadequate to the same purpose. The Directots.had intended to send a dept+• cation to wait on the Lords of the Treasury, to get a Government aid to complete the works, but the sadden death of Mr. CANNING had prevented their application. The Report of the Engineer detailed the steps taken to cleanse the Tunnel, which had been laid before the public from time to time. The borings made In the bed of the river bilween the extremity of the Tunnel aid the northern shore, left no douht of the entire prac voabliry of the undertaking. 'these Reports were both harmed, and some conversation arose ai to what steps iheeld be taken, and a Committee was appointed , to comer with the Directors on the subject. DOVER.

THUNDER s 1'0044 Friday last, this town and immediate neighbourhood were visited by a succession of storms of rain, thunder, and lightni-g, of such violence and duration as have rarely been known in this climate ; but so limited was the event of them, that in the different directing' cf Harlest,'Brentleigh, and Ipswich, the carrying at corn was not in the least impeded. We have utt heard of ' any damage being suaained in this vicinity. At Chels worth, Mr. Ray nham, a respectable farmer, had incau. tionsly taken shelter under a tree, when h's horse, which he was holding, was struck by the lightning, and fell dead on the spot. Mr. Itaynham's trousm was rent down his leg, and his shoe torn off hts foot, hut he himself escaped, as well as two children who wee with him. Sir R. Pocklington had scarcely left the spot, being unwilling to remain in so dangerous a situation. On Saturday morning, about a quarter past eleven o'clock, a. storm of rain commenced, surpassing any witnessed by the oldest inhabitant in Woodbridge, and lasted with little intermission till two. Heavy clouds were observed working up against the wind, print:jug mischief, which, as fir as the eye coqld reach, appeared nothing but a sheet of water. which brought down the soil from the neighbouring hilly with irrr. sistible force. knocking down in its course brick salt, outah , uses, &c. &c. rushing through many I the dwelling-houses, particularly those in Bradfield street, near which it formed a larg- chasm, partly sep ,rating the turnpike road at the entrance of the town Wing to Grundisburgh.

The houses have been some time condemned, and the inhabitants, poor Irish families, appri,ed of their danger, but they persevered in retaining possession with desperate tenacity, and when the houses sank with a dreadful crash, there were seven or eight persons in each. The walls were observed to crack by some of the neighbours in the morning, shortly before the crash, and the occupants of the houses were howdy engaged in removing their goods, in the midst of tibia) one house tumbled down, bringing the other with it. The ruins fell forward into the street, and crushed the win dows of the opposite. houses. To the circumstance of the houses falling out may be attributed the safety of several lives. As -soon as the cloud of dust had cleared away, the neighbours commenced a search among the rubbish, and in the course of the morning eight or nine persons were dug out and carried to the hospital more or less injured by bruises and fractures. A mile •n found, across which a partition had fallen, and which completely acted as a shield, and in the craJle were Ivo infant children who, were not the least injured; their cries had led to their being discovered. It was ro• moored that two persons had been killed, bui this is not true. Crowds of people surrounded the piles of rubbish this forenoon. About three o'clock yesterday morning, a fire, which for upwards of two hours threatened the most senor consequences,broke out in the premises of Mr. MORTOY, an oilman, residing in New street, Portland New Toss. The fire, which was first discovered by a patrol, broke out in the lower pan of the premises, and it was net until the danger became extreme that the inmates vote aroused to a sense of their perilous situation, and mill in time to effect their escape by crossing the roof, and seeking shelter in an adjoining house in a state of - nudity. In somewhat less than an hour two engines arrived, stel succeeded in arresting the progress of the flames, bat not until Mr. Moaron's premises had been reduced to a heap of smoking ruins, and considerable damage doer to the adjoining houses.
