The market to.day is not very largely supplied either with samples or I uyer,, but there is a steady trade with those present, and fine Wheat fully maintained last Monday's terms. Very fine picked samples of Barley have obtained 465. but the middling and inferior sorts are rather lower. The trade in Oats are moderate, with no variation in prices.— There is a very large quantity of Beans and Pease. which has caused a reduction in them of from Is. to 2s. per quarter.

There are later accounts from the Russian capital this morning, which are wholly silent upon the subject of the recognition of PHILIP by the Emperor. The Exchange on London is a shade below 101. Sir EDWARD CODRING TON bad arrived at St. Petersburgh, and had an interview with the Emperor. The letters from Odessa mention, that a caravan of Tartar merchants, consisting of about 2,900 camels, laden with merchandize of the value of two millions of roubles, had arrived at Oranbourg. Several private letters have this morning been forwarded to us for perusal, of which we are enabled to give the con tents in a few lines. These have been addressed to mer cantile gentlemen of high respectability, and we are inclined to attach great credit to the important intelligence which they convey. From Brussels, it is positively affirmed, that negociations are still going on, for an amicable adjustment of the differences between the Dutch and the Belgians ; and further, that M. POTTER is to be the leading man in carry ing such arrangements into effect. The letters from Ant werp corroborate this news—adding, that the most respectable part of the community unequivocally and decidedly advocate the friendly settlement of the disputes in question. The King of HOLLAND has issued a decree, which has bad the effect of conciliation,—namely, that he forthwith abolishes the duties on foreign corn. All these circumstances have tended to a great improvement in the Dutch funds, which arc now five per cent. higher than during last week. Our City Correspondent notices some incautious statements, which have aFpeared on the subject of the Netherlands ; and to these statements much confusion has been ascribed. The.tom n of Valenciennes, it appears, has recently served as " a refuge for the destitute" of all parties. By the Dutch steamer, which arrived at half past one &clod; to-day, we have the following private communica tion from AmAterdam dated the Bth instant:—" The Bank cootinties to discount at five per cent. and ad vances money on Dutch stock, at two per cent. under the marki.t price. Private individuals have brought out their money, and advance it upon all stock.— The proclamations of the Prince and the King, have given great satisfaction; likewise the change in the !:inistly, and the measure of reducing the duty in grain, by more than half, has pleased the working' and lower classes; and there is every appearance of confi dence being restored. Dutch 21 42-3 i per cents. 57i." mm•••1•010.•••••=•11b The intelligence which we have to communicate in our present Paper, is all of a more agreeable character than it has lately been our task to record. The Quarterly Account of the Revenue will be found in our first page ; and, we believe, that in the eyes of most people, it will be thought much more favourable than was to have been expected. The deficiency is small, and can be explained, without having recourse to unsound reasoning. We deprecate any such proceeding in a public writer; for the people should be inured to hear the truth, even when much more appalling in nature, than any vacillation in the amount of Revenue can be. As long as they perceive in the Government an honest anxiety to diminish expen diture ; to shield the country from war ; and, at the same time, preserve its international rights entire, they should feel some satisfaction, that the evil is not aggravated, and not be intimidated, like imprudent traders, from investigating its real extent. The news from Belgium, under the head of Foreign Intelligence, does not afford much room to expect an early accommodation of the question between the KING of the NETNERLA sDs and his revolted subjets. We notice, how ever, that the information that has reached us to-day, as far as we may judge of the opinions of people on the scene of events, is rather favourable to the hopes of some arrangement between the parties still taking place. We should wish that tho Belgian people would descend a little from the high tone they appear to hold ; for after all that has occurred, we believe their own Princes might supply a King for them better than any Family, from which they have to chuse ;—and such a selection, made under judicious contract and guarantee, would have the great advantage of terminating the animosity, and with it the interruption to private transactions, which, to a com mercial people, must be so ruinous. We hope the next ar rival will confirm the favourable impressions, which am pre dominating this morning in the Dutch commercial circles. By the express received this morning from France, we rejoice to see, that the measure of abolishing the punishment of Death, appears to have a majority of the French Cham bers in its favour. We conceive this will be truly a sublime ter mination of the late revolution. Thus, will the French nation make atonement for the horrors of the first revolution ; and relieve the national character from the obloquy which it had justly, but unfortunately incurred. The example it will, by this measure, exhibit to Europe will be, we predict, invinci ble in producing a happy imitation. If once successful in France, we are very sure that a similar change of penal po licy will pervade all Europe. It may disappoint some pseudo stern moralists, who have found it difficult to re strain their dis-social opinions on the pending fate of the present state prisoners of France; but we consider the adop tion of such a humane reform in legislation, as ono of the greatest events which could distinguish the age ; and we regret that it did not originate in this country. With great concern, we refer to an account of the most disastrous intelligence ever received of the Greenland fishery; for which we are this day indebted to our friends of the Hull Rockingham. Among the merchants engaged in the whale fishery the greatest excitement prevails; and the amount of suffering which must be felt, in consequence of these heavy losses, certainly forms a subject of serious consideration and universal sympathy. The disturbances in Germany, to which we have already alluded, still continue, particularly in the territories of Hesse Cassel and Hesse Darmstadt. The Darmstadt Gazette, of the 2d inst. contains the fol lowing:—ln the course of last and the night before, a band of 4 or 5000 men appeared at Melbach, and committed se rious excesses. The inhabitants being too weak to resist, remained quiet; but during the disorderly proceedings of the insurgents, the inhabitants of Sodel and Wachtersbach came to the succour of those of Melbacb, and having joined them, drove out the rebels from the place, and made nine of them prisoners, who were conducted to Fried berg under an escort. The prisoners maintain that they were forced by the rebels to march with them—which they lament, and implore pardon. Another column, equally large, arrived at about ten o'clock the same night at Fier stadt, where they sounded the tocsin, and entered, with horrible threats, into the manor-house of Law, which they ravaged. The inhabitants of Florstadt having assembled in the interval, fell upon the rebels, drove them out of the town, and made six prisoners, who were likewise taken to Friedberg. The column of the insurgents who marched upon the Vogelsberg, arrived at Schoten at half-past 8 the night before last; they committed atrocious excesses during the night in several public buildings, and almost demolished the house of the Receiver of the Renton. The Provincial Counsellor, the Judge of the Tribunal, and all the clerks of the office, were compelled to take to flight, to avoid being massacred. The inhabitants of the district of Schoten be- 1 held these proceedings with horror, but took no part in them. Yesterday morning the band quitted Schoten, and proceeded further towards the Yogelsberg. But a small portion of the rebels had fire-arms—the rest had bludgeons. The insur gents are of the lowest class of the people, and their avowed object tends to nothing short of anarchy. They seek to an nihilate public order, to overthrow the authorities, and bring on a state of complete licentiousness, in which every one may do as he pleases." The Academie Francaise, in Paris, at its last sitting, be stowed the prize of 15,000 francs (6001) annually given as the reward of acts of virtue, to the wounded on the three glorious days in July. The prizes most useful to general morality were thus awarded s—To 51. Lay, for his work on Political Economy, 8,000 francs (3201) to M. C. Lucas. for his Treatise on the Penitentiary system in Europe and the United States, 6,000 francs (24014—t0 Al. Norris, for his Poem on the Immortality of the Soul, and M. Allman de Chant, for his work, en. titled "Des Abuses des Loix et des Mauro," 3,000 francs (1201) each. The subject of the prize poem, for the ensuing year, is the " Li. terary Glory of France." It is recorded of a fashionable fishmonger of the West end of the town, that having received a commission to send down fish for a grand dinner on a certain day,to a valuable customer in the county of Sussex, the disconsolate housekeeper acquainted her mistress at six o'clock th at the London coach had made its appearance without the expected basket. After various murmurs touching the unpunctuality of tradesmen, a second soup was ordered to supply the deficiency.— " Impossible, Madam !" replied the lady of the still-roan, •' it is too late; a nd looking out into the courtyard, she announced that a chaise and four had already arrived with some of the company ; when lo! out stepptd the conscientious Mr. —, turbot in hand! The morning's market having afforded no fish worthy the table of Mr. 11—, he had waited the arrival of his own arts, and to avoid dia. appointment, immediately set oat, fall pllop, from London to the Fount.—Court Journal. CITY, HALF.PIST ONE. The French prises by the Express come lower than on Friday ; which is owing to the London Courier being re ceived at Paris, which stated that 40,000 Prussians were going to enter Belgium ; and on Saturday evening the same paper made a Second Edition of the King of Holland having ran off from his capital ! Both which communications are totally groundless; as well as the Courier's statement of the deficiency of the quarter's revenue. Consols which left off on Saturday at 84 i for the Ac count, opened at 87, and are at present 87 to In the Foreign Market little doing as yet. On Sunday se'nuight the Dutch troops of the garrison of Tourney, pursued by the Belgians, entered by one of its gates, while the volunteers of the Belgians from Paris entered by another gate. The French frigate Atalanta, with a corvette, was to sail from Toulon for the Tagus to protect the French in Por tugal. Rome and Naples have acknowledged the King of the French. LIB ERPOOL, OCT. 9.—The import this week of Cotton is 4,379 bags, and the sales aro only 8,400 bags. In Sugar 600 hhds of British Plantation have been sold this week, at rather lower rates. In Foreign or East India there have been no operations. Of Coffee the sales are 250 casks. CITY, 11ALF-PAST TWO O'CLOCK. It is asserted that tho intended measures of Ministers, in the ensuing Sessions, will be the reducing of the Civil List ; also some kind of Reform in Elections : a small Property Tax is also talked of. In the Foreign Market there is little or nothing doing. Spanish Bonds are lower, owing to a Revolution in Spain not being so near at hand as was at first expected. Most of the letters received from Brussels this morning are of an opinion that some sort of an arrangement will take place with the Dutch Government. Consols which were in the morning at 87! for the Ac count, are at present 87 sellers, and 87; for next time, with little doing. - • ) 0 ( • .sw if :SC - 1 11 • , , 02 14\ S f 1 - ; n RA eq p e i" :„P • uu • - LONDON. -..-- MONDAY.

It is our painful duty this day, says the Rockingham of Satur day, to record the loss of eighteenahips employed in this fishery, six of which belong to Hull. We do not remember having ever witnessed a more melancholy sight than that which our streets this morning pre. seated. Hundreds of persons, particularly females, were assembled in groupes, anxiously inquiring of each other the news from the fishery, as a report was fast gaining ground that some casualties had occurred, though no one could possibly form a correct idea of their extent. This was about nine in the morning, at which hour, or a little after, the Grimsby steamer arrived, amply confirming the previous rumours. We have seen Captain Dannatt, of the Progress, who has favoured us with the following particulars. lie left Cape Searle on the 21st of September, and states, as a reason for the want of success, that the ships were compelled to remain much too long in Melville Bay, as the wind blew a strong gale from the South, and thus blocked up the entrance to the Bay. Here they were detained for twelve weeks ; and when they, at length, were able to effect their departure, and steer to the west, they could discover neither fish nor ice.— Captain D. informs us, that many individuals have been deprived of life by excessive fatigue. We regret this extremely : and while we lament the property thus destroyed, our warmest sympathies are excited in behalf of those who have lost their friends and relatives. Capt. D. has suffered much, and bears about him evident marks of what he has endured. He and others were forced to travel a great distance over the ice, in order to effect their escape. The Abram is coming up the Hum. her, but we do not imagine that any additional information of conse quence can be had from her arrival, as Capt. D. was a passenger. The following is a list of the lost ships, and of the number of fish ob tained by those that have been more fortunate. We need not add that the fishery has proved a complete failure ; and the distress it will oc casion in Hull, where such numbers have no other dependence, is al. most without a precedent. HULL.—Alfred, Brass, 3 fish ; Abram, Jackson, 3 fish ; Bruns. wick, Blyth, 1 fish ; Ellison , Jackson, 2 fish ; Everthotpe.

Arrears or HONOVR.—Within the last two days, statements have appeared of two affairs of honour. The first proceed ing from a coolness between Lord Bingham and Major Fitzgerald ; and the second between Lord Nugent and A. Campbell, f;sq. about a speech of the latter gentleman, at a dinner given to the Marquis of Chandos, at Aylesbury. We may give some details to-morrow. In the mean. time, it may be *saved that both affairs are likely to terminate with out any very serious consequences. Both appear to have arisen from mlaspprshension—there being nothing discreditable to any of the par. ties eoecerned. THE LORD LIEUTENANT. —His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, the Duchess of Notthumberlaad and suite, arrived at the Great Globe Hotel on Tuesday evening about half-past 8 o'clock. Whilst the horses were changing, his Excellency convened familiarly with se veral persons by whom he was surrounded, and desired that Mr. Russell should distribute two pounds amonet the poor, which was immediately attended to; the Vice-Regal party (who were loudly cheered by the people) then proceeded to Knoeldolly, the hospitable seat of the Earl of Donoughmore, where a splendid reception awaited the nobl e an d distinguished visitors. To-day (Wednesday) his Excellency will leave Knocklofty for Roste ll an Castle, the seat of the Marquis of Thomond, en route to the Lakes of Killarney. His Excellency has wisely dis pensed on this occasion with the pa ra d e , an d guar d s w h ich usually en cumbered the tours of many of his predecessors; but who was it taught the Viceroys of Ireland this lesson of confidence in the people ? We answer—the noble, gallant, and justly-beloved Angksey...—Tipperary, Free Press. When the accounts of the outrages committed on the English residents at Brussels were first received, there was an attempt to have It believed that they were perpetrated by the inhabitants, and not by the Dutch troops; and to sustain this opinion a goat deal has been written and said, to substantiate anialleged dislike and estrange. went between the people of Brussels and their British vbitants. Of dislike we believe there was none —noes, at boot, amo un ti ng to any thing like a national antipathy; but of estrangement there was a good deal, owing to the absurd magnificence of too many of our countrymen, who, hough they, many of them, took refuge in bawls on the score of poverty, indulged in a style of living, and in hours, and a scale of expense, quite foreign to the simplicity and economy of Belgian habits ; and even the wOm classes of people of Brussels, unlike too many of all dosses among us, not choosing to vie with the Fl in their fetes or late hours, judged it more p ru d ent to abstain: much emodation: c i p th u ple, who had for the meet pen, neither the good sense nor the taste to occommodate themselve s to the manners of their country, though so congenial with the avowed cause which hod driven them from their own..—iiensid. THE KING'S COURT. BRIGHTON, OCT. lO. The dinner party of their MaJzsms, on Friday, at tie Pavilion, in addition to the Royal suite, consisted of Lord and Lady FITZROY SOMERSET, Sir WILLIAM and Lady FREEMANTLE, MIES HARVEY, Baron WANOENIILIM, Count HOBART, Count and Countess MUNSTER, Mr. Cox and Mr. GREENWOOD. Yesterday afternoon, the KING, the QUEEN, her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA, and Lady BuowNLQW, rode out in a carriage. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE rode on horseback, and his son Prince Grona a, with the view of teaching the young idea how to shoot, had several of the young gentlemen of Mr. EYERARD'S Academy to dine with him. The calls at the Pavilion, in the meantime, were, Colonel TONSON, Major ANDERSON, Sir MATTHEW TIERNIL, Mr. E. TIERNIE, Lord and Lady FITZROY SOMERSET, the Earl of PORTMORE, the Duchess of CANN' Z Z RO, Car . min NAPIER, R.N. Lord WILLIAM RUSSELL, and Mr. SAISTUARY, High Sheriff of the County of Sussex, :ILI his Lady. About three o'clock, his MAJESTY'S ship, the Galatel, again brought up in the offing, with all her royals, saluted the KING'S flag with a round of her guns, and landed he, Captain, who immediately hastened to the Pavilion to pay his respects to their MAJESTIES, by leaving his card. The dinner party yesterday at the Pavilion comprehended Count MUNSTER, Baron MUNCHUAUSSIN, COMA OBERT, Baron WANG ENHEI M, and Mr. Cox. This day the LORD CHANCELLOR had an audience of the KING at the Pavilion. Divine Service was performed at the Royal Chapel this morning by the Rey. AUGUSTUS FITZELARENCE, and the Rev. Mr. WOOD, preceptor to Prince GEORGE of CAM BRIDGE, before their MAJ ESTIES and suite. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, the Princess AUGUSTA, Prince GEORGE of CAMBRIDGE, Lady BROW N LOW, and the Earl of DARNLEY, sate in the Royal pew with their MAJESTIES; and the body of the Chapel was filled with nobility and gentry of both sexes. In the afternoon the Earl of DA RN LET took his depar ture from the Pavilion. Their MAJESTIES, the Princess AUGUSTA, and Ladv BROWN Low, rode out in a carriage ; and the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, and his son, Princo GEORGE, walked out. Baron MuxcltiLtussts, Lord ARTUUR HILL, Mr. W. HARRISSON, Lady and Miss TIEILNIE, and Count MATOU. SIIEVITZ, the Russian Minister, left their names at the Pavilion. Tho amiable daughter of a gentleman of rank and fortune met with a severe disappointment on Saturday morning, at Brightor.. Betrothed to a gentleman, as she thought, the bride was attired for the wedding, and the carriage was at her father's door, to convey her anti the expected bridegroom to the Temple of Hymen ; but, lo ! the faith. less swain had fled the preceding night, and with him the young lady's immense fortune, which had incautiously been paid to him the day before the intended consummation ! Prince Troubetzkoi, the Russian Ambassador, on a special mission, accompanied by Count Mastoushevits, the Russian minister. waited on the fluke of IVellington, at Apsley House, on Saturday, and had a long conference with his Grace. Prince Talleyrand, the French Ambassador, and the Swedish minister, had interviews with the Earl of Aberdeen on Satur day, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Viscount Melville and Viscount Clive bad interviews with the Duke of Wellington on Saturday at the Treasury. The Secretary to the Netherlands Embassy transacted business at the Foreign Office on Saturday. Baron Bulow, the Prussian Minister, gave a grand dinner at his residence In Great Cumberland-place, on Saturday evening, to Prince Talleyrand, the Ambassador from France; Prince Eaterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, Prince Troubetakoi, the Russian Ambassador on a special mission ; Monsieur Faick, the Ambassador from the Nether. lands, and Madame Falck ; Count Alastousherritz, the Russian Minister; the Duke of Wellington, Lord and Lady Burghersh, &c. A cotemporary states :—" We have heard it rumoured in the City, that the Merchants and Bankers of London are about to form a deputation to invite the honour of their Majesties company to dinner; and the large room at the Custom House has been spoken of as the in tended scene of the festivity. No expense, it is added, will be spared to adapt it to the splendid purpose; and, as few ladies are enabled to par take on the festal days of the City, it is presumed circumstances will be so managed as to afford them every possible opportunity on the presert occasion." LORD 31a YO ICS DAY.—His Majesty having expressed a wish that the;dir.ner at Guildhall should take place at an early hour. the Committee have determined on four o'clock. The Lord Mayor's procession to Westaniner will, therefore, take ~)lace in the morning, and the civic cavalcade will aftcrw•asds meet the Royal procession at Temple. bar, and from thence proceed in state through the City, followed by the whole of the Royal Family, Great Officers of State, Foreign Amharsa. dors, &c. It is also said to be the determination of the citizens, in tl:e line of streets through which the Royal party will return, to their houses on the occasion. TILE Dt KEDOM Or ATIIOL.•-- The Marquis of Tullibar dine, the eldest son of the lately deceased Duke, is now, and has bcen for some years, in a private asylum at Kilburne. This distressing cir cumstance was a source of great affliction to his father,who possessing as he did himself, a highly nervous temperament, could never reflect upon the lamentable condition of his son and successor without the deepest anguish. The Marquis, or rather the present Duke, was once distin guished in the ranks of fashion, and we have heard that his malady arose from a brain fever, consequent to imprudent bathing. His Grace is in his b4th year. The French Civil List will, it is said, be proposed at 20,000,000 francs, or about 800,0001. This, considering tha great private fortune of the King of the French, is a most anti-republican sum : and holds out a precedent for extravagant proposals of the ;same kind; 600,0001. for either country, is as much as the utmost extent of dignity, hospitality, or splendour, could require. POINTS Of BIONOUR.—CoIoneI Montgomery was shot in a duel about a dog, Captain Ramsay in one' about a servant, Mr. Fe. thentone in one about a recruit, Sterne's father in one about a goose, and another gentleman in one about an acre of anchovies.' One offi cer was challenged for merely asking his opponent to enjoy a second goblet, arr and another was compelled to fight about a pinch of snuff; Gen. was challenged by a Captain Smith, for declining a glass of wine with him at dinner in a steam-boat, although the General had pleaded as an excuse that wine invariably made his stomach sick at sea; and Lieutenant Crowther lost his life in a duel, because he was refused ad mittance to a club of pigeon -shooters. NAPOLEON'S CHAIR.—When the late Mr. Hustisson was in offices he was presented with the chair which the exiled Emperor usually sat in during his dismal sojourn at Longwood. This relic Mr. small brass Huskisson appear e d set a great value on , and a place was appropti ated for it in his lib rar y. H e h a d a l so a du chair, on which t h e p er i o d w h en i t was presented to him. and some other particulars, were engraved, to which the f o llowing lines from Byron's Ode to Napoleon w ere a dd e d t— " Nor till thy fall could mortals guess plate affixed to Ambition's less than nothingness.
