The official . news of the Declaration of the Independence of I Greece, made by the illedisting Powers, and of the Nomination of Prince Leopold of Saxe Coluirgli to be its Sovereign, had a fa vourable effect on the prices of all kinds of Stock here. Greek Bonds, in particular, of which, however, only a few are in circulation, were in demand, and purchased at 45 per cent.— This seem/ almost incredible, when we look back for a year only, when there Bonds were offered at thirteen, twelve, and even ten per cent. It remains, indeed, to be seen whether our speculations will find their account In them at 45 per cent. They believe, it is true, that on the accession of the new Sovereign they will rise to 70 at least, which might certainly be ex. peeled, unless they should be reduced by the Greek Government to one-half of their nominal worth. Now his very rehab's, and would be the more ocuesbis in the Greek Governseml, as it fre quently melted only the half of the sums inscribed ; and the ex, ample bas betook by many greater States, which had not a sintilai excuse.

A report is in circulation that a certain Power has proposed an European Congress, for the purpose of arranging • general political system with respect to the new relations In the East, as well as to those of the Pyrenean Peninsula, the agitation prevailing In France and the new States in America. It is not to be expected that the plan will be approved by all parties ; but it cannot be denied, that till these important concerns are regulated by common agreement, it is impossible to foresee the course of events if left to themselves, and to insure the duration of pace.—Nurensberg Correspondent, March IS. FRANKFORT, Mace 12. As the wholesale business of our Rnster fair will commence within the next fortnight, and the Elbe at Hamburgh was not free from ice at the end of last week, it may very well happen as It did last Enter that there may be no new English goods at the opening of the fair, unless care is taken to bring them by some speedy convey. ante. In thh case, there is the more raison to expect a rise in the prices,as it is well known that cotton itself hai risen in England, and the wholesale dealers will require also to be Indemnified for the in. creased expense of carriage. To judge from the present state of things,' it is probable that the wool hada will not be very brisk, for large quantities of wool have been sent during the winter to the manu factories ; but then it must be remembered, that in consequence of the great consumption of cloth and other winter ankles, the manu factories are now in very full employment; and the more so, as the severe cold canoed a temporary interruption, for want of water. As for leather, it is not expected that a great deal of business will be done, tionsidering the result of the late fair at Brunswick. Com. retch persons are now engaged in examining the country in the vicinity of Frankfort, both in the territory of the Republic and in that of Hesse Cassel and Nassau, in the hope of finding coal mines I h is said that there is at present past prospect of sasses. LISBON, March 13. PRIVATE CORRESPOYDENCE 07 The Ihre!ii. The speech of Lord Aberdeen—the departure of the Regency from England—the daily increasing dissatisfaction of the people—end the consciousness of the badness of their cause, base scattered dismay among the adherents of Miguel 1. yet the Abe°. I lutists would fain construe the speech of the Noble Secretary for Foreign affairs, as if it promised to them a speedy recognition, 0 01 condition of an being granted by Miguel to his opponents. "An amnesty!" said tlle Conde de Basto, Miguel's great minister, in a Council of State, " who can give one to the Ws,' 000 map who are scattered over Portugal in prisons, and over the world ineaile.?. In six weeks his Majeity's rule would be ended. We will not give. one for nothing, and what is the English recognition de facts but a nothing ? Let Miguel be acknowledged dc jure, and then be will grant an amnesty to all his subjects." As for reparation or security for the future, t • e is no man will venture to ball Miguel for a year, unless it be the editors of one or two London papers, who will give bond for him while his pay continues. Miguel, like every weak man, knows not what to do. The English Government, by its agents, and in particular by the minister of Ferdinand VII., Is struggling ; but the Acetones, by their agents, are counter.strug. sling ; and Miguel, w loves blood, joins the bitter. There have been five men executed this week in the most frequented square of Lisbon, for swell -ft., last November, in the bleed of Madeira.— They were strangled on the Can do Soar., and the bodies of three of them burned with the scaffold, while their heads were stock upon spikes in the same place, as an example of terror to the multitude. There have been also several political arrests within the last five days. Among the shopkeepers, du. Bill persons were taken in the middle of the night from their homes to St. Julian's Tower. It is not easy to convey to you an accurate idea of the indignatiba of many persons orr hearing the statement of hoed Aberdeen, that the majority of the Portugese have supported Aligner. cause. The fact is, that the mass of the Portuguese wish for pease and tren t quility, but not for AligueL The Clergy—that is, a factious pen thereof—persuaded the mob that their religion w.is in danger front the Constitution, and they, and a set of courtiers, ntis. called noblemen, misled the Portuguese. Patience, or, as it may with propriety be called, immune, is the never.failing maxim of this people ; but, now the evils of Aliguers rule have come home I to every man's door, and he is hated with all the concealed 'vie.' lance which belongs to that position in the warmer climates. As for the venerable Cortes of Lamego, from whale decision, gives within a pent-up Assembly, Lord Aberdeen says, " there is no appeal," a British subject, independent of all parties, and well acquainted with the character of every else of this people lately sold a gentleman, whom his Lordship knows well,. " that, ye far from being respectable, they are a pack of rascals, since every one of the popular branch would sell himself for a pound sterling. I saw them meet in their holes and corners to elect Miguel t the most corrupt borough in England comes far nearer the truth. It is strange that Lord Aberdeen should have suffered himself to be de. cetved." Bat what can be expected from a Noble Lord who trans lates the words "ratite etei," which are stamped on the two. penny copper coins, to mean e• for the ure of the Republic" in Ter. aim. Many persons in England, on reading the Gluteus of Lisbon, imagine that all those who receive medals front hint are his ad herents—it is not so. There are some poems who make money by those medals, and among them the notorious Franciscan Friar Pa dre Braga is the chief He procures a list of persons in the provinces who have some money, and be sends diem notice that they must have the medals; they dare not refuse, and he receives two shillings from each fur having their llama inserted in the Gaeta..

Dv IC r. or Wct.i.t NoTow.—The Duke of Wellington 14 always to be found at his post. There he sits at the head of the Treasury side of the house. Ile is not to be mistaken. Not another member list his hat on bolt himself, and it is drawn con. temptuously over his brows like a helmet. He is not a man to be frightened, at least if we can read that inexpressible coon. tanner he has got. His features seem carved in stone—so stein, ao cold, and so rigid. There is not such another face in the world. The nose is es erect and defying as a lifeguards. min. The eye is as peneuathig as a bayonet. The lips look like the scabbard of a sword : There is a hardness about the wink face which puts us in mind of some pictures of the devil, with which our nurse was wont to alarm our infantile =lt is entirely of a military cut. In fact, the Duke ening* watt berm to be great soldier, if we may be allowed's* predict a thins after it has happened. We doubt not that Lavine would have luxuriated over the feature' of the premier. His countenance, however, though it betrays acuteness of perception, indicates none of that content, plative sagacity which gee are inclined to look fin in a statesman or a philosopher. Judging from facial expression, we should at once believe that the faculties of the Duke are guided more by a certain kind of Instinct, which men vulgarly call number one, than by any of the higher powers of the intellect, such as reason or knowledge. His face seems merely a refinement of the animal propensities._ Then is nothing, however, of affectation or false pretension magi. felted in his looks or his bearing. He eyes the house with a cold stare and an unmoved muscle ; so that it would be utterly impossi. We for any one to say what is passing in his mind, lire seems tired, yet patient. There is a passive activity about him which, we should imagine, must help considerably to perplex those pet. sons who are accustomed "to wonder, and to their wondering find no end !" Td r. MARQUIS or LAWSDOW X Z.—Ti: Marquis of Lansdowne is a plain man, with an embrowned aspect, " speaking of Flora and the country green." He was not born to grace the ranks of the whirs. With a figure by no means of the attenuated order be possesses an easy self-confident •demeanour which gives to what he says more weight than really belongs to most of his opinions. He reminded us somewhat of Hus _ •bisson ; though he certainly has less of the fluency and gentlemanlike baring of the free-trade Corphous. On the occasion when we heard him speak he bad nothing particular to say ; and. u those are only idiots or knaves who wish to be thought singular in small things, the marquis very sensibly delivered himself in a manner suitable to his matter. It would be well if all Noble Lords were so sincere and consistent as the Marquis of Lansdowne, or if they exerted their abilities with as much vigour; fur we are certain that in tide case ten times more business would be got over, and ten times leas of party feeling would be manifoted. He a man either whig or tory, or even radical, let him 'ln fixed in hlalprlnciplett, and the tatuntry will be !knelt) obi soarmi tigated= from his nseennees ; foe it is VIII** leipientows and few.and.far-between occasions that a demonstfatlin of ele mental principles (as they may be called) is required. The ordinary routine of business esquires sagacity, decision, and promptitude ; and it can never be properly accomplished by persons who are eternally running off at a tangent, and needlessly involving minor details with the original outlines of government. But it is too true that the Marquis of bersedowee bee been often drawn out of that sphere of usefulness, to which we NM sure, from his appearance in the House of Lords, be is well adapted. Hod he not imbibed wrong principles, but attended to the ordinary business of the House, we are sure he would have been an useful a member of the lords as the peerage ever presented. But, alas! be is a whig. THE MARQUIS or CLANRICARDE.—The Marquis of Clan. ricarde, who is considered a rising orator, in a debate upon the poor laws attempted to take a display. He Is a tall, pale-faced, dark. cempleximed young man. His delivery is exceedingly constrained, aad, were it not that be takes care to put his hat in one hand, be would And some diSailty in evincing any powers of gesticulation at all. His voice is husky ; and, in fact, we arc inclined to believe, as the house seemed to warrant, that he is in general " rather tole rated than heard, rather endured than tolerated." It is, indeed, somewhat ton much for any body to listen, and listen with respect, t►ekollitions, the stapleof which is, «Ahem ! ahem ! ahem ; such la the eloquence of the youthful 3larquis of Clanricarde, whatever the relationship of Canning may have done for his fame or his fortune. Toe Dune or Boca INGHAM—IV. were rnther taken by star. prim when we araociated the figure of the pre-ent Duke of Buck. ingham with that which hirory has drawn of the lucky George Villiers, his ance‘tor. Ills grace appears " two single noble. neon rolled into one." Ilia voice is somewhat varied, and he speaks with a disagreeable stutter. Set he remains on his legs as long as most other lords. We never had the pleasure of seeing Lord Nugent, who is famed for his rise ; but we should pe lath to.make any other exception in saying that his Orace of 4aeltinghant is the largest man on the peerage roll. In iPasking of As general habits of his compeers, he took the op. portunity of remarking that most of them lived away from their tenants ; but he thought it proper to mention that he resided on his own estates,a piece of information which did sot seem to be relished on the Treasury site of the House. We ■Mwld pronounce the Duke of Buckhtsham one of the most ordinary of mortals ; and, Weed, we never heard that he had any pretensions to the character ot a statesman. The EARL or Liretnica.—The hall of the loads resents specinims of Mummer of no ordinary occurrence. Amongst these we hold the Fad of Limerick as une of the most remarkable. He is an Irishmen. His years are by no means few, and we should believe that that '• good old gendemsnly " disease, the gout, has Mid an embargo upon his extremities. He is rather below the middle sin, and somewhat dumpy. His air bespeaks him to have " sailed the salt.ma ocean ;" sod he hes all the adroit rough. nem of an " old commodme."

Yesterday several gentlemen, who are residents in the liberties of St. Bartholomew the Great, a district governed by laws and rep. When independent of those which have been chosen for the go• vernment of the numerous parishes in the city of London, appeat.4 before the LORD 31AYOR and Alderman THOMPSON for the pur. pose of baying Overseers appointed fur the ensuing year. It was evident to every body that the gentlemen consisted of two parties, and representeil a divided neighbourhood. the moment they began to state the object of their mission. It appears dist the liberties of Si. Bartholomew the Great have been line many parishes not under civic joriatlictio.,, regulated in in parochial Hairs by that very obnoxious thing, a select vestry ; and diet a bumper of the inhabitants, who suspected that if they ob tained acoreathon affairs would be much noise beneficially arranged, protested a very powerful opposition to the measures of the select. The appointment of oq&xts bonus, of course, one of the functimis of the vestry, and hi the on:sent year it was determined by the opposi. lion to break down the long established authority of the van"; by resisting any atten:pt to eimatitute any of their own body overseers. This determination was met, it would appear, with the 'cost conci. History spirit. The vestry did not p tin nomination any of their own lady; but this seeming cot session did not 'nth!, those who were bent upon securing the liberties of St. Bartholomew train all possible contingencies. The opposing inhabitants declared that they would not have those who were nominated, and thus the matter was introduced before his Lordship and Alderman Thompson. One of the Verry stated that the Vestry knowing the jealousy which existed on the subject of the nomination of officers, named eight respectable inhabitants of the liberties, of whom font might be chosen to serve as overseers, and not one of whom was a vestryman. He trusted that the appointment would immediately take plate, otherwise considerable inconvenience might arise in the district. The Anti-Vestrymen requested that the Magistrates would post pone the business as there were objections to some of the nominated. Tiny begged that they might be allowed to have a Court of Petty Sessions, at which Alderman %Vaitlinian and Sir Peter Laurie might preside and determine upon the question. The LORD MAYOR, on looking over the list of names, said he could not see what possible objection could he made to the flood. nated, who were all respectable inhabitants, and well qualified to act. The AntiXestryinen said that several objections were made out of doors. Alderman Titosirsow thought It very extraordinary that a delay should be required is such a case. The parochial government was that day (the lith) at an end, until the appointment of officers should take place, and he should be glad to know how the poor were to be paid if there were no overseers to be responsible? The Vestrymen said that upwards of 100 paupers would expect to be paid on the following day, and that without the appointment of overseers not one of them could receive the price of a loaf. The Anti-Vestrymen still wereof an opinion that it would be ad. visible to postpone the appointment. Aldermen Turners's, at last, by a mammon', effected the ob ject of the appointment of the overseers. He read aloud the name of such of the persons nominated, and said to the crowd composing the opposition "Which of you, gentlemen, has an ob jection to lUr. ?" Nobody answered. " Very good," said the Loan MAYOR, " put him down as an overseer." Upon the repel don of the question the Anti.Vesitymen looked at each other but nobody would object. The second w as c h osen . " ten any man bens,' the bird Ilayor , " object to Mr. ? " One of the =srtossed no hie nell l ghlione and said, " Haven't you some. say about thst gentleman ? Not saynd, replied the other I" I have not the least word to against him." (Laughter.) " Nobody has,' cried Alderman Thompson. " And as fat my excellent friend, Mr. —, there is not a more respectable man in all London." To the last gentleman, of course, after such a character, no one could object to intrust the ;ffairs of the liberties, and the overseen have thus, to the amusement of several in the justice room, been regularly appointed for the ensuing year. UNION-HALL Yesterdays Miss Cynthia 141 k, an antiquated damsel on the wrong side of 40, who described herself as the authoress of several poems, and well known to the literary world, was brought before Mir. Swains', charged with circulating obscene prints, arid books of an Immoral tendency, amongst the inmates of the King's }leech prison. The defendant was dressed in the most fantastic style foe a woman of her years, and she was rouged up to the eyes. The turnkey having been informed that a female was in the habit of calling daily at the prison, for the purpose of disposing of prints and books of the description alluded to, kept a very strict look out fur the " lady," and WWI successful in stoppin g her at the gate, with a bag, in which was a portfolio, containing a great number of prints of the most disgusting nature, besides several poem s , chiefly of an mummy character, and clothed in language so inacem, as to be totally unfit to meet the eye. The moment she was stopped, she struggled hard to retain the bag,7, but finding her endeavours fruitier's, she ptoelaimed herself the owner of the port. folio, and hs (entente, and that she was the authoress of the poems, adding that she only wanted to let a friend haves sight of her pro ductionwto amuse him during his solitary confinement in gaol The turnkey, lumen ' was deaf to her 'ninetie s t o restore the port folio, and by diiectionof the Alarshal, took the defendant into rue. Cody, and forthwith brought her, papers and all, to chili office. The portfolio, in which was a vesiety of amatory poems of an immoral character, was opened for the inspection of the Magistrate, but no rrinter's name appeared to any of' them. The Magistrate asked defendant what she had to say in answer to the charge ? The defendant, in a soft tone of voice, implored to have a private interview with the magistrate, intimating than, as she saw reporters present, she felt great diffidence in explaining the cause of her present unhappy situation. If the magistrate era, only pkesel to give her the desired opportunity of explaining /Israeli; she would satisfy him that dire necessity conmpelled her to write in the soling of the poems now produced. hiss had written some on moral sub jecte, but tound they had no sale, and, on changing the style, and reversing the subject, then found that she obeined hulas ter her works. The Magistrate said that no hope of reward could have jus•ified her in µnniog such lewd and wicked writings.
