DIRN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, Nov. 24. We have but very few persons in the market, and scarcely an ex change of sample has taken plate.

This day, there was a Levee at St. James's Palace, at which the following Noblemen and Gentlemen had the honour of kissing the KING'S hand. on their coming into office in the new Administration, namely—Earl GREY (First Lord of the Treasury); the Lord Chancellor (I3ROuoHAM); the Marquis of LAwsoowlt z (Lord Presi dent); Lord DURHAM (Lord Privy Seal); Viscount PAL MERSTON (Secretary for Foreign Affairs); Viscount MEL uou awF (Secretary for the Home Department) ; Viscount GODERICH (Secretary for the Colonial Department); Vis count ALTHORP (Chancellor of the Exchequer); Sir JAMES GRAHAM (First Lord of tbo Admiralty); the Right Hon. C. GRAwr (President of the Board of Control); Lord AUCKLAND (President of the Board of Trade); the Duke of RICHMOND (Postmaster-General); and the Earl of CARLISLE. There is this afternoon a rumour current—and we give it merely at such—that the town of Nimeguin, the Capital of Dutch Guelderland, has fallen into the hands of the Belgians. At a late hour this afternoon, a private express has been received in the City from Paris, the contents of which did not transpire at three o'clock. It is, however, certain, that the prices of the French renter come lower. General CAMPBELL has left Lisbon for England, and is said to be the bearer, of important despatches from Don MIGUEL, to the Duke of WELLINGTON, and the Earl of ABERDEEN. From the North of Europe we have just received some in formation of rather a warlike nature, by way of Paris. In the Constitutionnel of Monday, just come to hand, by private express, there is an extract from the St. Petersburg Gazette, of the 14th October new style—old style 6th November—to the following effect .—The corps hereafter-mentioned are put, by order of the EMPEROR, on the war establish ment ; namely, the first and second corps of infantry ; the 3d and sth corps of cavalry ; a corps detached from Lithuania; a corps of reserve, under the orders of the Cesarovitch ; the Polish army ; and a number of irregular Coeaques.— The 3d and sth corps of cavalry of reserve, whose hend-quarters are at Cherson, and Hourak, have received orders to advance to the eastern frontier. All these corps are already on their march for their destination. What may be the cause of these military movements we cannot conjecture with any degree of certainty.— We have viewed the policy of Russia with greet suspicion, as we have frequently expressed. We may mention, that an obscure paragraph appeared in the French Papers lately, of disturbances on the Turkish frontier. We observe that our new Statesmen have obtained a kind of breathing time, in their Parliamentary duties, and the public are to be left, during that interval, certainly most naturally required, without further developments of Ministerial views, to cogitate on what is past, and thence deduce their expectations of the future. We unfortunately perceive a disposition, in all with whom we speak, to form expectations which we are certain will not, for die beet possible reason, because they cannot, be executed ; and we think the bringing forward to dear and perspicuous mental vision, the true line of rational expectation, is the duty of every public writer at the present moment. As we have, for the last few days, treated of what we consider the difficulties which embarrass the important measure of Parliamentary Reform, we hope our readers, in some degree, understand our views on that subject. We hope that they understand us to be, for as perfect a rectification of the laws and usages of Parliamentary Representation, as can be accomplished, without alter ing the practicable harmonious working of the three estates• We have endeavoured to point put, gene rally, the limits to which we think reform might be carried, without endangering such harmony, and the extent which would endanger it. So far, how ever, we have confined our remarks to the intrinsic, or real difficulties, which involve the practicable accomplish ment of the question ; but there is another set of difficulties, which is likely to impede its practicable accomplishment, and which the public, who are anxious for any reform, rather than none, in justice to the present Administration, should bear constantly in mind ; and these we shall now briefly state. _ It is well known, that no act can pass into law, even for the improvement of our Parliamentary representation, but what must so pus into law, by the concur rence of the three Estates, as represented in the Rico, and two Houses of Parliament.—lt is likewise known, that a portion of the Aristocracy are interested in the very abuses in the representative system, the removal of which we aro desiderating. Now, it may be possible, and is, we think, to be expected, that a majority of the House of Peers, will act in concurrence with His Majesty's present Government, in passing some measure of Parliamentary Reform, or rectification of abuses, which only a portion of their body is interested to preserve; but the whole aristocracy are vitally interested to watch jealously, the proposed extent ; and the power of the administration, can never be possibly expected to obtain a majority of that house, for a measure, in which they even perceive, the probable germ of the destruction of the order. Do we, therefore, wish the administration to bring forward, to the legislature, such a measure as will be carried or do we mean irrationally, and we consider imprudently, to exact from them, such a measure, as on abstract principle may be deemed desirable, but which has no chance whatever of regularly receiving that assent which can alone con stitute it law Let us suppose the Ministry stimulated by the goading of an " ignorant impatience," if we may for once use an unpopular, but, in this case, we deem felicitous expression; and, held to their declared opinion, when not in place, should bring forward a measure of reform, which should be perfect, as regarded the people ; but having the one small fault, that, like Guy Faux's barrels of gunpowder, if suffered to remain, would blow up the House of Lords. Such a measure, it is plain, would not pass the Peers. What would be the consequence ? The Admi nistration would go out ; or if they remained in, they must remain in, to encounter a conflict—not in discussion on the floor of St. Stephen's—but in the open field of revolution. We are deeply impressed with the almost awful importance of the question now about to be solved, and we are positively certain, that the union of two essentials only, can avert mischief to this country, the extent of which we shudder to contemplate. These two essentials are what we hope will be found, the extreme of cautious moderation in those who bring forward the expected measure of reform, and equal cautious moderation in the disposition of the people by whom it is to be sanctioned. This is a portion of our views. We are not, like some, afraid of " fettering ourselves;" and shall think it nur duty to continue our discussion of this subject, which our readers must deem all important. In the House of Lords, at half-past two o'clock yesterday, the Duke of GLOUCESTER rose and informed their lord ships, that he was authorized to acquaint them, that his MA nave had been pleased to elevate HENRY BROUGH •M, Esq. to the dignity of a Peer. Mr. BROUGHAM, on hear ing this intimation, quitted the woolsack, and left the house for a short time. On his return, he was introduced to the house as Lord BROUGHAM, by the Marquis WELLESLEY and Lord DV RH AM. After going through the usual formalities, he resumed his seat on the woolsack, and received the congra tulations of his friends. The house adjourned till five o'clock. At five o'clock the house resumed, Lord BROM:MA M sitting as Speaker. No minister, except the Duke of Ricnuorrn, was present; nor any of the ex-Mi nisters, except Lord LYNDHURST ; and no proceedings of public importance took place. In the House of Commons, there was, trot a debate, but an attack on Lord BROUGHAM, by Mr. CROKER. An abridgment of this scene, we published in a second edition last night. The discussion to which Mr. CEOKER'S speech gave rise, will be read, more as a matter of amusement, than of public importance. On the motion of Mr. SPRING RICE, it was agreed to, that the House should adjourn from Tuesday till Thursday, and from Thursday till Tuesday, on account of the exceeding diffi culty and inconvenience, of discussing any public measure, while the new administration was not wholly organized. The House adjourned at an early hour. Quebec papers to the 18th Oct. and Montreal one day later, have been received this morning. They do not con tain much intelligence of moment. The Provincial Parlia liament of Lower Canada had been prorogued by royal pro clamation to the 14th December. We have letters from Gibraltar this morning, to the sth inst. The communication by water with Algesiras, had been stopped ; but it was hoped for a short time, only. The cause of this suspension of intercourse, was a sortie made . from Gibraltar, a short time previous, by a body of Consti tutionalists, led on by two Englishmen, named Kwarwi.a and BOYD ; the former is said to be a relation of Mr. C. KEDDLZ, of Covent Garden Theatre. The merchants much regretted this event ; as it weakened, very naturally, the good feeling that would otherwise subsist, between the au thorities there, and those of Belgium : business was dull at Gibraltar. We have commercial advice' this morning from Calcutta, to the 18th June, which ars of some interest. For European goods, the market generally continued heavy; and in cotton piece goods, there wan scarcely any thing doing. Confec tionary and Oilmens's stores sold at from 10 to 20 per unt. advance, on prime cost. Boor, of the first marks, was in steady demand : the quantity imported up to the above date, was 1,552 hhds. In metals, copper was generally in fair demand ; bot without any improvement in price. Eng lish iron was in moderate demand; but Swedish dull, and declining in price. Lead was improving: a sale had been made at 61. 6s. Saltpetre was firm ; and the stock, though large, was in few hands. Nothing was doing in steel ; but quicksilver was in request, and the quotation was looking up. The freight to London was 51. for dead weight, and 51. 10s. to 61. for light, per ton. Sugar was rather looking down; the new crop was coming fast into the market. Very little business was doing in spices ; but Eastern pepper was on the decline. Saltpetre continued in tuldiminiehed demand, and was steady in price. Some little stir had taken place in the opium mar ket, in consequence of the arrival of the Forbes steamer, from China; but prices had soon receded. The accounts from the districts respecting the indigo crop, continued gene rally favourable ; and there was every promise of a large crop. The market for grain was without much alteration. Alum was in good demand, and borax in request. Cam phor was advancing in price, and Shell-lac was steady. Ver million was rising. There was a limited demand for cot ton, chiefly for the China market. Good Cutchora has ad vanced a little. CITY, ONE O'CLOCK. At present, the only foreign political event on the tapia are the affairs of the Netherlands ; and anxiety is felt by the speculators and public to hear the reception of the new Mi nistry at Brussels. Lord Grey's speech will, no doubt, have great weight on the Congress ; and fear is entertained they will exult too much on the subject, and bid a stronger defi ance to the King of the Netherlands. Consols, which left off yesterday at 83} to 1 for the Ac- count, opened at 831 i, and continue the same. We have arrivals from India, but the lettors are not in town as yet. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing—Spaniel Bonds about 15. CORN EXCHANGE (THIS DAY).—Very little business has yet been done in the Wheat trade, but the quotations may be given as on Monday last. Barley and Oats remain as last quoted ; and in Beans and Peas scarcely anything is doing, the quotations remaining nominally as on last market day. Lt v E R POO L, Nov. 22.—The transactions in British Plan tation Sugar still continue very limited, the sales of the week amounting only to 400 hhds. and prices have rather given way. The demand for Cotton has at length revived. There has been rather better demand for Pine timber from the coun try this week, but as yet no improvement in the price. CITY, TWO O'CLOCX: The Consol Market, which had a good appearance in the early part of the morning, when Consols were done at 88k, has, within a short period, become heavy, and receded to 821 to 13 for the Account ; and Money Stock is more easily obtained than for several days past. The Proclamation offering five hundred pounds reward for the apprehension of the incendiaries, and seven counties being in a disturbed state, causes some anxiety, and has had an effect on the Funds. At a gentleman's farm in Middle sex, a fire-ball was found near his hay-stacks, supposed to have procceded from an air-gun. CITY, TIMER O'CLOCK. French 3 per cents. 82, 70. Consols at present, 831 i for the Account. SOUTHWARK ELECTION—(Tats DAT.) State of the poll at three o'clock— Calvert ... ... .. .. 950 544 Farocomb ► ... Majority for C,alrert ... 406 RILTORM.—A meeting took place, this day, of the in habitants of Farringdon-Ward-Within, for petitioning Par liament, for a reform in the representative system, at which Alderman WArrir xi A x presided. The attendance was nu merous and respectable; and the usual speeches, on such occasions, were given, and going on when our paper went to press. Letters were received yesterday from Naples, dated the 9th inst. The new King had been received every where with the greatest demonstrations of joy ; he appears very popular. Every thing was quiet, and the Funds fully sup port the former prices. Should the burning of agricultural produce continue, we may expect to see scarcity and enormous prices of the first necessary of life added to our other calamities. Among the blunders in the Act of the last Session, for altering the time of holding the different Quarter Ses sions, is, that, though it was intended to take effect in Ja nuary, its commencement cannot be till Easter, owing to the words, " after the 28th of December," applying not to the prseent year, but the year 1831. One of the National Guards who was on duty at the math of Vincennes has given the following account of the coolness and cheerfulness of MM. de Polignac and Guernon de Renville :—" The ex-President of the Council manifested a constant enthusiasm with respect to the National Guard, upon its fins appearance, and particularly upon the prompt manner of its organisation. As to M. de Guernon de Ren ville, he is not satisfied with conversing upon the affairs of the present moment, but frequently sings for whole hours— and, strange to say, the Mareeillois air is a great favourite of his, and be sings it so often that his friend, M. Chants lause,!is obliged to beg of him to be silent, or at least to try some song not quite so popular, or grating to his ears." Thursday morning, at break of day, the keeper of the Tay Lights observed the hull of a sloop upon the sands in the immediate neighbourhood of the lights, which he sup posed was the remains of the sloop Betsey, lately wrecked, that had been raised from the place where she sunk, by the strong gale which blew from the S.S.E. on Wednesday. He therefore procured a cart, and proceeded to gather up what part of the wreck had come to land. In the afternoon, how ever, he picked up a part of the vessel's stern, on which was painted "The Speedwell, of Newcastle," and a small box, containing papers, and with the latter he hastened to Dundee. The box was found to contain the vessel's register, and the discharge of the captain from his Majesty's service. His name, it appears, was Thomas Tulloch, a native of Dundee, but his family residing at Shields, and he was owner of part of the vessel, which was bound to this port, with a cargo of coals. Mr. Martin, box -master of the Seamen Fraternity, and some others, insp ec t e d t h e wreck on Friday, above two cart loads of it remained. The b u tvesselnot wad old and decayed, and unit for goi ng t o sea i n . thee. Although the b oa t h as not b een f th e st weftem which prevailed on Wednesday forbids th e hope of the crew having escaped by that means, and it is feared that th e tart ihare all perished.—Dwidee Cloutier. y COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke of SUSSEX, the Duchy's of KENT, and th e Princess VICTORIA, the Duchess of GLoucEavta and th e Princess SOPHIA, visited their MAJESTIES yesterday at St. James's Palace. Earl GREY, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, , Lord PAL MERSTON, Viscount MELBOURNE, the Du ke of HARI'. Ton, and the Earl of ALnemAaLs, had audiences yester day of his MAJESTY. The Duke and Duchess of Cults ERLA X D went yesterday to their residence at Kew, and returned to town in the after noon. A Cabinet Council was held at three o'clock y es t er d ay er. tornoon, at the Foreign Office, which was attended 1.); th e thirteen Members composing the new Cabinet. The Council sat in deliberation about an hou r an d a half. —Viscount Maisoußy a, as Home Secretary, Viscount GODERICII, as Colonial Secretary, and others of the Mini sters who received their appointments from his Maiiv i y on Monday, attended at their respective offices in the after noon. Lord How icic, as Under Secretary of State for the Colonial Department, in the room of Mr. HORACE TWIsS, and Mr. GEORGE LA us, as Under Secretary of St-de for the Home Department, in the room of Sir GEO aciE CLERK, attended at their offices yesterday. The Duke of Bedford is to receive the vacant Ribbon of the Order of the Garter. Dr. Turton, Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge, has been appointed to the Deanery of Peterborough. This is the last dignity bestowed by the Duke of Wellington. The Lord Chancellor's patent, as Baron Brougham and Vaux, is limited with remainder to the heirs male of his body only. The Chancellor at present, we understand, has only a daughter. Should a son not be born to him, therefore, the barony will, of course, become extinct at the decease of its present possessor. We have authority to contradict the report to which pub licity was given in the second edition of the Courier of last night—if any authority were necessary, beyond that of common sense, to negative a rumour so exquisitely ab surd :—" There is a report this afternoon, in the political circles at the west end of the town, that several new places will be created, so that the new Cabinet will consist of 2u members.— Globe. It is not true that Sir H. Parnell has been appointed Vice-Treasurer of Ireland. An offer was made him of a seat at the Board of Treasury, which he refused. It is not true that Mr. Brougham is the first member of the bar who rose to the Chancellorship without the gradation of intermediate office; the same occurrence took place in 1806, when Lord Erskine (then Mr. Erskine) was created a Peer, and sworn in Lord Chancellor, without having held any official appointment previously. A declaration is published this day with the signatures. There are upwards of 40 Peers, many of them hitherto con sidered Orange, and the array of gentlemen and professional men is greater than has been affixed to any documents, with the exception of the Protestant declaration, within our memory. The cause of common sense and true patriotism has triumphed.—Dublin Evening Post. In consequence of the death of Admiral Sir Eliab Harvey, a vacancy has occurred in the office of one of the four Ver derers of the Forest of Waltham, or Hainault Forest, in this county. We understand that the writ is expected to be issued next week, and that the election, which is in the free holders of the county, will take place at Epping within a month. Montagu Burgoyne, Esq. John Henry Conyers, Esq. and Joseph Richard Lockward, Esq. are the present Vorderers. The only candidate at present is James Ander son,Esq. of Havering-grange, nearßomford. - EssesHerold. On Monday evening orders were issued from the War Office for the 9th Regiment of Lancers, quartered at Ken sington, to hold themselves in readiness to march at a mo ment's notice. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the above-mentioned regiment mustered at the barracks, and proceeded on their rouie for the disturbed parts of Hamp shire, and would quarter last night at Egham, Staines, and the adjacent villages. The Riding Establishment of the different Cavalry Regiments stationed at St. John's Wood Barracks marched to Kensington Barracks to do the duty of the 9th Lancers. ECONOMY ix TUE EAST.— We understand that some wise men in the East, not ninety miles from Shoreditch, have lately presented a parish petition, through Mr. Hume, to the King, against the New Police. Their chief com plaint against the system was, that it was too expensive fur the poor people of their poor parish. The expense of the said petition was only ninety pounds. Nice pickings out of the pockets of the very poor people of the very poor pa. fish ! —Herald. The Municipal Committee of Paris has nearly terminated its detailed examination of the facts of the revolution ; the latest return is 1,162 killed among the people alone, and more than 3,000 wounded. The village of Holwell, near Melton Mowbray, contains about 120 inhabitants. Within nine years one-half of the population have emigrated to America, and, by accounts re ceived, the greater part of them are doing well. A family, consisting of an aged widow, named Wilson, four daughters. all grown up, the husband of one of them and their children .in all nine persons...took their departure a month ago, in high spirits, content, for ever, to abandon their native England, the anchor and hope of the world."--Stamford News. Ma. Sr. Jo u x Lowe. —A correspondent informs us, that by 3 Geo. IV. ch. 38, persons convicted of manslaughter are to be transported for life, or for any term of years at the dis cretion of the Court, or to be imprisoned in the common jail, House of Correction, or Penitentiary, for not more than three years ; or they may be fined, at the discretion of the Court. But this discretion of the Court is now taken away, for by 7 and 8 Geo. IV. ch. 28, sec. 11, upon a subsequent con viction, they are to be transported for fife, or not let;s than seven years, or be imprisoned for a period not exceeding four years ; ann, if a male, to be once, twice, or thrice publicly or privately whipped, in addition to such imprison ment ; but it must be alleged in the indictment to be a second offence._Morning Paper. Saturday last, about three o'clock, the Royal Oak of New castle, was taken into Dover harbour, having a jury-mast. and towed by two boats. On Sunday she had experienced a heavy gale, and was blown off Hastings, where she lily some time, and drifted about till Thursday, when she els picked up by a Dover lugger. The captain, a young ma about 23 years of age, was, during the time, blown over board, but fortunatel . b from the great exertio ns of the crew, he was saved. The vessel was a collier ; all her sails were shivered. So little was the fatal division on the Civil List expected. that nearly fifty members of the House of Commons favour able to the Government were absent on the occasion, who were actually in town or its neighbourhood at the time, and who had they been present would of course have given decided majority to Ministers. Al the tithe-audit at Nuthurst, near Hanka, held last week, than was not, nor has there been he seas years, a tithe dinner, or feast.
