' CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank, Stock :Ikchpnge, and Foreign Market; continue closed, and the assemblage on `Change a Brokers and Jobbers it less la number than no yesterday. Not a bargain has been done. 11111 yet,-but tberofferin 1f ihr Consols. In Foreign Securities nothing has been done. It is reported that the Funding of Ex chequer Bills will take place after the sth April, when Parliament meets again. ONE O'CLOCK. Scarcely a single bargain has as yet been done either in Consols or Foreign Securities. It seems new to be doubted even by Scotch men them selves whether the infliction of a metallic currency on their country, instead of a paper one, will be so dice a calamity as some of them apprehended. Ministers, it is known, have appointed a Committee to inquire into the subject, ani if they are convinced of its expedience, they will not be deterred from the measure, even though claymores may be invoked to resist it, and it may be numbered with those two outrageous crimes, sweeping away a corrupt Revenue Board, and leaving Scotland • without a standing army ! It is true, that in Scotland a great outcry against extending the English system of currency to that country has been raised, by an able writer, and that Petitions have been presented against it by Bankers and Merchants, but the great body of the Scottish people view it with indifference; nor has the most pow erful pen that could have been enlisted into the contro troversy been able to convince our Northern neighbours that a paper is better than a metallic currency. Even the Scottish Members, who were so earnestly called upon by Malachi Malagrowther to resist, in a phalanx, this new inroad on the liberties of Scotland, as it was called, seem by no means convinced of the per fection of their owls system : nay. more—we believe that the very deputies sent from Scotland to resist the measure, are unable to prove that it is likely to injure the banking interests of their country. Two of those De puties, Mr. KIRK MAN FINLAY, formerly Provost of Glas gow„ and Mr. BLAIR, from the Bank of the British Linen Compaoy,have already been examined before the Com mittee; and.their answers form a strong argument in favour of the proposed measure, and tend to spew that any inconvenience that may at first be felt by in dividuals, will be very far outweighed by the perma nent benefits it must cause on Scotland at large. Mr. BLAIR * for example, oa being asked whether he did not think that the Scotch Bankers would find sufficient means. after a time, of indemnifying themselves against any eventual loss from the prohibition of one and two pound notes, was obligedto admit s that in All likelihood they would. • Such an admission, from a person like. Mr. BLAIR ) speaks volumes; for be it recollected that be is no • theorist, nor a person of a romantic imagination, bad an experienced and practical man, who, thooshatiaohed to his own system, ancl.acquainted with all the epintitila of its operation, acknowledges that the proposed alteration will not be productive of the injury so in* dreaded, Of in fact of any injury at all. . _ • This, however, is not the only subject on which the voice of clamour has been raised too loud. We deplore as much as any person can do, the recent convulsions in the commercial woild e but we cannot but feel, not only that they were in the first instance created by mad speculation, and then fearfully increased by unnecessary alarm, but we think, in some instances, the difficulties have been exaggerated. In the instance of the Silk Trade, there was some appearance of getting up a case; and when Ministers were called upon to advance-a large sum, five millions in Exchequer Bills, to relieve the com mercial world, they were certainly asked for more than was necessary. This appears evident now that the Bank of England has undertaken to lend three millions on goods and personal security ; for it was stated by the Governor of the Bank, a few days ago, that only a quarter of a million had been called for I Now one of two things are to be inferred from this—either that the assistance required to aid the commercial world is not to anything like'the extent stated, or that the merchants who need • it are unable to show that their embarrassments have been produced by circumstances they could not controul. In Scodand, too, there seems little need of the as sistance of the Bank of England ; indeed, the Merchants there seem to have a feeling of pride which makes them' refuse it ; for we are told that the Scotch Banks are willing to advance all the money required on the same security as is demanded by the Bank of England. Had these cautious bankers stated this some time age, 'they might have prevented no inconsiderable portion of distress in the mercantile world. When facts like these are elicited, we cannot hot rejoice at the firmness of Ministers in refusinglo concede that to popular clamour which cannot 'be demanded either in justice or sound policy. Their maxim seems to be ts resolve not quick, but once resolved be strong," and we know no better rule, either in the affairs of private or public life. Accounts have been received from Singapore of a hte date, bui they contain no news from the seat of war. This forenoon we received the Allgentease Zeitung of the '2lst inst. It contains an article from Mayence. stating that the question of the Navigation of the Rhine, which has been ten years under discussion, is likely to be decided; the Austrian (and it is said the Russian) Government also having declared that in the negoci ations, as well at Paris as at Vienna, the most perfect freedom of the navigation was taken for granted, and that by the benefit promised by the Congress was under.

It would therefore seem, that the proposals made by the Porte are nut so unreasonable but that they may form the basis of a negociation. When, however, we consider how slow all the diplomatic operations of the Porte are (as in the affair with Russia for instance), we have little hope of any speedy arrangement between the Greeks and the Turks, unless, indeed, the other powers of Europe were to intercede in a more decisive manner than they are likely to do. The French Papers of Saturday contain an account of the death of the Duke ot MoNrstonaNcx,who became Minister for Foreign Affairs in France on the establish ment of the Royalist Ministry in 1821, and who conti• need to hold office till the termination of the Congress , of Verona at the end of 1822. He was called Me first Christian Baron, because his family was esteemed the oldest of the noble families of Europe. In the Consti tutional Asselbly, he was the first, or among the first, to deposit his titles of nobility on the table, that he might be considered only as a French citizen. He accepted office along with the present Ministry in 1821, but his principles were too ultra-legitimate to suit the chief director of the Cabinet. In the discussions at Verona, he. was considered by M. de VILLELa to have exceeded his instructions; and on his return, he yielded to the superior influence and dextetity of his rival, and left his place in the Cabinet with the reputa- ' tion of an honest man. He had the pleasure of seeing, on his retirement, that the war with the Spanish Consti tutionalists, which he had forfeited his place by recom mending, was declared almost immediately on his resig nation : and he enjoyed in private life all the esteem and regard which the unsuccessful issue of his official under takings could not affect. He was a man who, during the greater part of his life, showed a strong inclination towards religious observances, and who, since his ex pulsion from office, is said even to have become a devotee. When he ceased to be dangerous as a Minister, he was made tutor to the young Duke of Bouanzaux. On Thursday he had visited several churches, and on Good Friday had proceeded to the temple of St.Tuou AS 41.41U1NA6, where he fell lifeless on the pavement, when he.had scarcely begun his prayers. the French Papers of Saturday and Sunday have :cached us. There has been recently no Public Sitting of either Chamber ; but it is intimated in the Journal , ger Debats, that the law . for repressing offences com- Mitted by French iubje cts in the Levant has been abandoned by the Ministers, and will not be proposed to the Deputies,in consequence of the amendment made in its provisions by the Chamber of Peers on the mo tion of VisCOlint CLIATIAWILUAND.—.The following are Extracts: PROM ?HR SPOILS CI SVNDAY, MARCH 26. PARIS, Wulf 25. Letters from Corfu of February 17th, say, that Captain Packs is recalled, at the desire of Ibrahim Pada, who ascribes to him the bad success of the attacks upon Blissolonghl. It was reported that Ibrahim intended to attempt another attack •n the gOth. The last accounts from Bucharest bring no news. General Guil ' lemlnot passed through that place on the 6th of March. When he left Constantinople, which was on the 17th February, Mr. Stratford Canning had not yet arrived in that city. A telegraphic dispatch from Strasburgh, dated the 24th inst. announces that Count Guille minot arrived io that city the day before, and would set out for Paris the 24th, in'the evening. The Canstisutiorsoci gives today news from Rio de Janeiro of the 12th January, received by what channel does not appear. The last letters received at Havre are of the 10th ; the English Jour nals give no more recent news. It is but too easy to see that these are but repetitions of all that has been said for this month past of troubles at Rio de Janeiro, which had compeU ed the Emperor to quit his capital. A Morning Paper cont sins a long article on the affairs of Portugol and Brazil, and gates the following, as the leading features of the proposed arrangement a " Pedro's full right of Sovereignty over Portugal is to be fully Admitted and explicitly declared, and he is to take the title openly l i saf King of that country. He will not, however, change the seat of Government, but will continue to reside at the eapitsl of Brasil. It is proposed that a Regency 'shall be formed for the admirals. nation, in his name, and by his authority, of the affairs of Poe. fugal. At the hood of it will be placed the Emperor's eldest daughter, Charlotte Leopoldina, a Princess only seven years of age, but associated with such of the leading persons in Portugal as are likely to obtain the confidence and support of the people. But it is not intended that this disposition of the Government shall continue beyond a very few years, though the ultimate views with which it is caneeted are of a nature to render their completion „an affair' of much uncertainty. When the young Princess shall have' reached the age of maturity, it is proposed by a marriage with t h e exited Prince Miguel to put as end to the Regency, and to restore Portugal to the rank of an independent Power." We confess the sending- a young girl of seven years of age to be Regent of a Kingdom, a few thou. sand miles distant from her father, and where she will be exposed to perpetual political intrigues; and the making Prince Mroust, who is three and twenty years old, wait for a wife until his niece of seven is old enough, ;do not appear to us very probable events, though they certainly are amusing speculations.

The Coronation of the Emperor NICHOLAS is said to be deferred from the month of September to that of October. It is stated, that more than twenty thousand conspirators have hetat already discovered, and that twenty thousand Noble families ate implicated in this affair. We are assured that more than twelve thousand persons are already arrested. The current report of our local circles is, that Lord Samson (son to the Earl of Haaaoway) will offer hirrself for the representation of the County.

The Blue Coat Boys made, yesterday morning, their annual visit to the Loan Msvoa, and afterwards adjourned to the Royal Exchange, followed by a numerous centourse of relations and friends. On this occasion, the dealers in cakes, fruit, &c. are admitted; their articles were in general demand, and from all ap pearances they had no reason to complain of scarcity of money, or falling off of trade. _ _ The hope of every man starting into life, is to ac quire that independence which will place him above the world : bur, u Jennison observed, to'obtain this bx " climbing the steeps of labour," requires years of application ; whilst, by a lucky hit in the Lottery, the hope may be realized for a few pounds in a few days; and, considering how long they have existed in this country, we can see no reason for the Act of Parliament which abolishes Lotteries for ever, after the present and one more drawing. Accounts from Madrid of the 15th say, that the Spanish Commissioners newly appointed have altered all the plans and schemes of their predecessors, and have now submitted some tbing new to the English Minister. DUBLIN, MARCH 25.—Saturday, two scti'ns met at the fair of Woodford to fight. When both parties were ad vancing towards each other, the Protestant and Roman Catholic Clergymen of Woodford, attended by the Chief Constable and a party of the Police, endeavoured to dissuade them, by every possi ble entreaty, from fighting, and without using any force whatever; when suddenly both parties joined, and in the most furious manner knocked down both the Clergymen and Chief Constables, who, with the Polk*, were forced to retire to the Police Barnet:l4%44re they were puttied, and every pane of glass in the barrack blakett. They proceeded then to tear the roof off the house, and set fire to it. It being then dusk, the Polite, in their own defence, were obliged to fire at the mob, when three men wete killed, and stirVral • wounded.—Clare . A letter from Glasgow, received yesterJay, states, that there are do applicatidn; for the money grantAby the Bank of England, the Szotch bankers declaring explicitly, that if the same security is offered to them, they will advance money to twice the amount, if it is found necessary. The piocess is said to be so inquisi torial, that no merchant, except in the greatest distress, would accept assistance upon such terms. The Westminster Sessions cornaience rm thursday; and those at Clerkenwell and the Old Bailey on the Tuesday and Thursday following. THE WEATHER —The present month has already been remarkable for the extremes of sumni-.r and win er. On the 10th the tl-.ermometer stood at 73. degrees . n the shade; and on Friday morning, the hills in the neighbourhood of Bristol were covered with snow. SoLotsn's FUNERAL.—The gay display made by i! holiday folks yesterday, in Hyde Park, was contrasted by the solemn procession of a soldier's funeral. The deceased, a private in the Blues, was attended to his last quarters by a numerous body of comrades, carry ing their arms reversed. Upon the lid `Of the coffin was laid the sword of the deceased unsheathed, and his hel met. His horse followed with the boots, cloak and equipments worn by his late rider. A party of Men preceded the body, and the rear also was composed I military mourners. The Dead March gave strong effect to the ceremony, wh . ch was strictly niiiirary.— Having reached Bayswater, the eventful history of a soldier's life was closed by_the usual discharge of three volleys over tke grave. GREENWICH FAIR.--Yesterday morning the roads leading from the metropolis presented a very gay and anima!ing appearance from the multitude of holiday folks flocking towards the grand scene of attraction— Greenwich Fair. The Elephant and Castle and the Bricklayers Arms exhibited an unusual scene of bustle. The number of conveyances that were plying the whole the day was immense, and they kept in continual motion, conveying the company to and from the fair, which affords this year unequalled attraction. RICH A RD-• SON'S Theatre has been got up in a very superior style, and the entertainments are really better than we might expect. The Crown and Anchor Tavern, as usual, leads the van amongst the other establishments of the description, and the gorgeous manner in which it is fitted up surpasses Lily thing of the sort we ewer be held. The interior presents a blaze of light cornple:ely dazzling to the eye, from the many thousand pre ty coloured lamps displayed in various forms and devices. At the extremity of the Salk a Dauer, is an excellent likeness of his MAJESTY, surmounted by a regal crown, entwined with laurel leaves. In the centre of the ball room is a well constructed orchestra, with a band of IS excellent performers.
