1 I 1 1 H. , . ii 4 A PARAGUAY. ASCENgroN, 'Anus: 2. e ' The first sad second legions have tajten arms, but the 'reason is not known. Promotions have been mane in 'the army of Paraguay, and the valiant Guarany has just been named Generalissimo. It hto this Officer, as the senior, according to the regulations in spig , ur, that the office of President of the Supreme Tribunal of Jus tice and that of the Supreme Board of Finances, and of t he administration of the public Treasury, belongs, as well as the esetcise of the functions of Chief Magis trate during the illness or temporary absence of Dr. Srancia. . _ ----- The Representatives and Chiefs of the Municipalities 'who met on the 16th July, would not accept the resig - riation of D . Francias This extraordinary man, after seeing that the Commissioners whom he had sent to Europe had not succeeded, leads a melancholy life In consequence, he has alleged the state of his health, to retire to the town of Pilar to some of his friends. The administration of affairs, in consequence of the absence of M. Guirany, has been confided ad interim, to Mr. Zapidas. The Commissioners who were in Europe have received orders to r• turn to Paraguay, and the Plenipotentiary of Brazil has been obliged to withdraw to Mattogrosso. Laqly, the moat recent letters from that part of America. contain the following Prcclama ti n, which Dt. Ftancia has published : . "INHABITANTS OF PARAGUAY I—Your first Magis trate, after having answered to the confidence which you granted him by preserving the province in peace, has nied of repose horn ail his labours; for this purpose he has amen the town of Pilar; theie he will implore the Amman to be pleased to consolidate the happi ness of the country under the rules of equity and justice, which have hitherto preserved us from the evils which have afflicted the whole American Continent. Leaving Zapidas charged with the Government ad interim, I retire very satisfied with the profound respect with which all the measures have been received that I have adopted for the administration, and I preserveengraved on my heart the heroic actions of so virtaous a people. Honour me with your remembrance; this has been, is, and will be, my greatest happiness. (Signed) "Ds. VRANCiA. '" Ascension, in Paraguay, Aug. a, 1126." THE EVENING STAR. LON1)ON.

Consols, which continued steady in the earlier part bf the morning at 82. 1 / 8 for the Account, have, within this hour, become rather heavy, and have been done at 81 h for the Account, and 81% for Money ; and, up to the present time, may be quoted at 81 'a to 82, and fin Money 81% %, with little doing at present. The cause of the market becoming so heavy, was attributed to the French Funds coming lower on Monday.—ln the Fo reign market there is rather wstagnation in business. The French Papers speculate on the reported ocen• pation of Lisbon by our troops. The Journal des De• bats, in particular, is quite alarmed lest the rumour should prove true, and tbinksthat such a measure would have the effect of rendering the stay of the French army in Spain eternal. We can relieve its apprehen sions, and assure it that they are as imaginary as the event which it so seriously deplores. At the same time we cannot help feeling grateful for the compliment which it pays our gallant heroes, when it says—that where they are concerned, number is an indifferent thing ; and that " one single English soldier stationed tin the banks of the Tagus is quite as effective as a thousnnd !" We suppose we are to add, "of another nation," which is a degree of positive flattery, little to have been expected from such a publication. Hamburgh Pipers to the sth inst. have reached us. They contain no fresh intelligence from Russia, Greece, or Persia, and but li tie from any other quarter. An . article from Stockholm gives a favourable account of the Public. Revenue. It appears that the receipts of the Customs had increased 1,377,880 rix dollars above its produce last year. The Import Duties had fallen off, but those on Exports had experienced a considerable augmentation. Famine, however, ,still more terrlle than commercial distress, of which 11 is sornetistres the offspring, continued to ravage die coa f tstvy, and in snipe provinces the peasants suffered so tittich, that they %Vere obliged to use the powdered bask of trees, and to mix it with their 8 wr to increase the quantity, and procure sufficient nourishment. The Public are already aware that a patent for con structing a new Board at the Stamp-office, has become necessary, in consequence of resent enquiries into the management of that great department of the Revenue. In forming the new Board, the Government have been actuated entirely by a de:ire to be guided by the opinion of the Commissioners of Enquiry, who, from their re ports upon this, and various other departments of the Revenue, and from their labours generally, have de servedly acquired the confidence of the Government and tf the Country, The following are the names of the new Corn mibioners :—Tne .IaatitS•ICEITH STEWART, late' Comptroller of Army Account., is to be the Chairman ; Ms. TRoRNTON, from the Audit Office; Mr. Boom Mr. R.WELLESLZY, Mr. SAURIN, Mr.W. B. MONTAGUE, and Mr. S. MONTAGUE, to he Commi:sioners. The decision, pronounced yesterday in the Court of Chancery, upon the bills filed by persons who had be come holders of shares in Joint Stock Companies, against the Directors, as personally answerable for the instalments which had been paid, is of great importance to all who have engaged in such speculations, and parti cularly to the persons who have acted as Directors. The two Companies which were brought before the Court, were the British Stannary Company, and the Imperial Distillery Company. The bills were filed by persons who held shares in these Associations, upon which they had paid instalments; and their object was, to make the Directors personally answerable for the sums which had been received from the subscribers. The case stated against the Directors was, that names had been inserted in the list of Directors without sanction or authority—that the actual Directors had taken upon themselves to add others to their body—that they had not brought the whole number of shares fairly in-o the market, but had kept many in their own hands, in order, ultimately, to retain them, or reject them, according as the one course or the other might be profitable to themselves—and that they had proceeded to do acts towards carrying on the proposed operations, before the deed for the regulation of the partnership was prepared and executed. The IN rectors insisted, that, even if these allegations were true, 4 Court of Equity would not interfere in such a transac tion, but would leave the aggrieved party to obtain what remedy he could by an action at law. The Vice CHAVCELLOR, 110WeVer, has, after so:emn argument, and upon mature deliberation, come to a contrary : he has determined, that such a cane as that which we have stated above, o ill entitle shareholders to relief in a Court of Equity against the Dir,ctors personally. There are, perhaps, few of the Joint Stock Companies in which the same features and transactions, or at least some of them, do not occur, as those upon which the Court founded its jilt isdiction in the two instances which , we have cited. Wherever, therefore, fraud or miscon duct has existed, the Directors, who have/committed or permitted it," may anticipate a very severe scrutiny and very heavy liabilities; for there is no escape from ti e minute sifting, ever varying interrogatories of a Bill in Chancery, except in complete integrity, or daring perjury. THE KING. WINDSOR, Novara's& 7. Yesterday, Lord FA RNBOROUGH arrived at the Royal Lodge, on a visit to his MAJESTY. and had the honour ..f dining and passing the night at the Royal Lodge.--6 This forenoon, after bre4klast, his Lordship took leave of his MAJESTY, and left the Royal Lodge fur Windsor Castle, where, as one of the Commissioners, he inspected the progress nride since his la-t visit.

The Italian Opera is to he conducted, in the approaching Season, upon a system entirely different from that which has always been acted upon in this country. Instead of relying upon individual excel lence, a Company has been formed of such numerical i ll as first rate talent. as shall enable the Managers to produce at will the greatest works either in the serious or comic departments. It is well known that many of the finest Operas in existence have been long un known in this country, owing to the absence of lidlicient means for giving them general effect; and that, too, at the very times when we have possessed afew of the best Artists in the world. We under stand that in addition to the names we have already mentioned, those of Gaul, Zucusw, and other singers of high reputation on the Continent, will be included. The company is said to boast no less than five Lune*, whose talents entitle them to the rank of prima donna. These arrangements have been effected by the judg ment and activity of Signor Punt, who is to direct the operations , of the season. Mr. EDWIN LANDRUM and Mr. JOHN PETER GANDY have been elected Associates of the Royal Academy of Arts. The nymphs who were soothing themselves with the pleasing pro.pect of a secret trip to the temple of Hymen at Gretna Green, will be sorry to learn, that the harpies of the law have rudely torn the officiating priest, the well•known Mr. Foster, from the altar, and lodged him in durance vile, he having been lately committed to Greenlaw jail to take his trial for so often lending his helping hand to tie the silken bands of matt imony. • CATHOLIC RENT.—At the last Meeting of the Catho lic Association, the Catholic Rent for the week was de clared to amount to 2101. 17s. 3d. The journeymen cabinet. makers in Glasgow, Green ock, Port Glasgow, and the neighboarhocd, have agreed to a reduction of their prices, proposed to them by their masters a week ago, to an extent fully greater than that proposed by the masters in Glasgow. Saturday, an Inquest was held before George Stringer, E.g. Mayor of asver, on the body of John M'Carthy, a seaman of the coast blockade service, stationed at Kings. gate, in the Isle of Thanet, who, whilst cleaning his pistol with the muzzle towards him, unfortunately totiolied the trigger, when the contents, a full charge of blank cartridge, entered his breast and killed him on the spot. Vet dict—Accidentally killed by the discharge of his own pistol. OLDHAM, NOV. 4.—About twelve o'clock on the night of Thursday last, as Mr. ROBERT LENS, of the firm of Joint Leas and Sons, was teturning home from his brother's house, he was attacked by a person, who struck him about the head with a bludgeon,and knocked him down. After some time he came to his senses ; but the man had left, and had taken Mr. Levi's hat along with him. Having reached home, a constable was sent for; and as Mr. Leas had some suspicion of the person who attacked him, the officer was directed to a certain dwelling, where he found the person he expected, and with him Mr. LEES'S hat. He was, of course, secured, and has since been examined before the Rev.J. Hoasz, and committed to take his trial at the next Sessions. He turns out to be a man who is in full work as a spinner,in the employ of Messrs. Comma, BRADLEY, and WILDE. Monday se'nnight some persons maliciously and wan tonly cut the ropes of the Minerva pleasure boat, of Hastings, and damaged the materials of other boats. PRIVATE STATE COACH OP THE LORD MAYOR.— The state coach and six horse harness to be used for this occasion is now exhibiting at Stubbs and Hancock's coach and harness manufactory, Mile•end•road. The 'body is of a full size, and of correct proportions, painted a fine royal blue, with triangular brass moulding, and the whole of the framing richly gilt.. The door pannels are ornamented with rich and elegant crimson and white drapery, displaying the dragons as the City sup porters on pedestals, and the arms, with the sword, mace, and other ornaments emblematical of the City of London. On the side pannels are emblazoned his Lord ship's arms, inclosed in a neat scroll, from which the motto 41 Nil sine causo" is suspended, surmounted by the helmet and his Lordship's crest, a hawk with the wings extended. On the small patina under the window is the City Collar of Esses, and the badge as worn by his Lordship, pendant from a scroll, surrounded on each side by oak and laurel branches, surmounted by the cap as worn by the Mace Bearer. The front and hind pannels correspond with the doors. The body is sus pended upon a very handsome elegant carved carriage, with carved standard box and hind standards, which is painted to correspond with the body, relieved with fine lines of red, and partially gilt. The body is lined with fine scarlet tabboret, and silk scarlet lace, with scarlet blinds and tassels, scarlet hammer cloth, with two rows of deep fringe and hangers, ornamented at each end with the City supporters, arms and crests, richly chased in gold. The lamps are very superb, and the head plates exhibit his Lordship's arms, crests and mottos chased. The ornamental work, we understand, is executed by a first-rate and well-known artist in emery superior manner to what carriages of this description are usually painted ; and by the tasteful introduction of a small portion of gold, make the whole to form a re markably neat, and, at the same time, a most elegant carriage. The harness for six horses is very elegantly mounted with his Lordship's arms, clued in brass, witi chased tenets, books and tug ornaments, with scarle fronts, ear•bows and rosettes. LETTER OF LORD COCHRANE. ►aoY A MORNING PA7ri. Sta—.. Having observed paragraphs in various Nest s . papers, throwing blame on Sir Francis Burdett, M. Hobhouse, Mr. Ellice, and Mr. Ric4rdo, some of which impute those aspersions to me, you will confer on me a favour, and do an act of justice. W you will assure the Public (as I have done those Gentlemen), that to blame them, as regards Greek affairs, never entered into my mind. If the engineer has failed to execute his task, he, alone,, in my opinion, is answerable. As to myself. it appeared to me, at the time, that I could not person ally watch over the progress of the works in hand, owing to the unfortunate Proclamation. I have to re gret that I did net then see that Proclamation in the light which I now do. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Marseille% Om 30. (Signed) COCHRANE. The Metropolis begins so fill as the meeting of Par liament approaches. Already a great number of the Nobility and Gentry have arrived in town, which will be beneficial to trAde. Letters have been received from OJessa, dated on the 16th of October, which repeat the rumours previ ously in circulation of the Turkish Commissioners at Akermann having accepted of the terms of peace dic. tated by the EMPEROR of RUSSIA, and add, that this compulsive treaty of amity had been forwarded to ' Constantinople for the ratification of the GRAND SSIONIoR. The prevalence of northerly winds had deprived the Odessiots of late intelligence from the Turkish capital. Trade was, as usual, dull, and money extremely scarce. MR. DENMAN AND THE CHANCELLOR.—On Thurs. day the Lord Mayor elect was introduced to the LORD CHANCELLOR, by Mr. DENMAN, the Common Sergeant, the Recorder being confined with the gout. It was the first time, since the late QUEEN's trial, that Mr. DENMAN appeared in the performance of a public duty before the Loan CHANCELLOR, and, as he was suddenly called upon, he evidently felt some degree of embarrassment at the approaching interview. There was no symptom of embarrassment, however, about the LORD CHAN CELLOR, who warmly shook hands with Mr. DENMAN, and expressed much pleasure at seeing him. On board the Sumer packet, which has at rived front Lisbon, is the Marquis of ASRANTEB, as passenger.-_ This Leader of the late revolt in Portugal, it is stated, has been sent to this country by the advice of the Bri tish Ambassador, Sir W. A'Counr. The packet sailed. from Lisbon on the 22d of October, al which time that capital enjoyed perfect tranquillity, and the insurrec. tion was nearly suppressed, the rebels only possessing Taviro and Castro Marim. The Marquis CHAVES had taken refuge in Spain, and the fanatics, on the whole * had found but little support from the people-. At the Liverpool Theatre, on Saturday night, whilst Mr. Bass was playing the part of Corinthian Tent, in the afterpiece of Tom and Jerry, he fell on the stage, and broke his leg. The-accident occurred in the “ row." MUTING ofe - Stur WRAVERII.—Monday evening a meeting of journeymen weavers was held at the Bruns wick Chapel, Mile-end•road, to take into considera tion the necessity of an immedi de application to Par. 'Lament, " for a Legislative Enactment to protect the Price of Labour in the Silk Trade throughout the United Kingdom." The Resolution was at length car ried, and a Committee appointed to carry it into effect. Yesterday an Inquisition was taken before Thomas HIGGS. Esq. at the Triumphant Chariot, Pembroke mews, Upper Grosvenor place, on the body of Michael Maces tiiy. a workman employed in laying water•piper in Capel•street, Chelsea. The deceased, it appeared,. was edging off a pipe. when the adze slipped, an& dreadfully cut his leg. below the knee cap. Mr. John. Bowling, the house surgeon of St. George's Horpital. stated, that when the deceased was brought there, he had lost a great quantity of blood ; the wound had di vided a large artery, and with great difficulty it was picked up and made secure. The serious injury re ceived, and an inflammation of the bowels subsequently ensuing, caused his death. Verdict—Accidental Death. SHOCKING ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, while several persons were employed in some new buildings at the lower end of Ptince's-place. Portland New Town, the front of two houses gate way. falling outwards and inwards, and scattering destruc tion in its progress. Two men on the outside, and four in the interior, were buried in the ruins, and before any one could get to their assistance. a portion of the roof; left unsupported by the fall of the front, also came down with a trerneruktus crash. The dangerous appear ance of the remainder of the roof for a time deterred. any indiviclu.l from venturing too near ; hut, the groans of the unfortunate sufferers indicating their anguish, humanity prevailed, and in a few minutes twenty per sons were busily and eagerly employed in removing the rubbish. Their exertions were ultimately crowned with success. Two men on the outside were extricated with little difficulty, and quite unhurt ; but the other four Were not rescued from their perilous situation until after twelve o'clock, and at that time it was scarcely known whether they were dead or alive. Medical assistance was immediately procured. and it was soon ascertained that life was nut completely extinct in either of the four; but horn their bruised and mutilated state, it was. deemed expedient to send them to the hospital. One poor labourer. named Ryan. had both legs fractured, and another man had his left arm broken. On4he evening of Tuesday last, a commercial tra veller in a gig attempted to cross the Mite at R4ven glass at nearly full sea, and at 'east two hours before the regular time; the consequence was, he was carried down the bed of the river by the force of the ebb tide, until he came in contact with the wooden bridge et ected for the accommodation of pedestrians at low water, and here his course was happily arrested. He still retained this seat in the gig. and luckily, before he had been long in this dangerous situation, be was discovered by a Gen tleman belonging to Ravenglass, who instantly dis patched a boat to his assistance, which succeeded in bringing him safe to land. The horse. it is almo•c needless to observe. was drowned ; in fact. he had eu. tered the water with the martingale upon him—he V' . . 44 consequently unable to raise his head. The Gentleman valued his horse, we understand, at one hundred guineas.— it hitehavot Paper. ' SOUTHWARK SESSIONL—These Sessions commenced yesterday, when C. Callaghan, a lighterman, was sen tenced to six months imprisonment, for assaulting and throwing into the river S. Lloyd, another lighterman. fn consequence of a dispute respecting pushing off s barge, the defendant acted with the violence above de .cribed. J.
