Consols opened this morning at 8I I for the Account, and soon -after reached 111 k to n, when a sale took place of nearly two him deed thousand, which threw a damp •on the market, and Consols receded to $ll I for the Account, and 1111 1 for Money. This is 'owing to the Exchequer Bill market being heavy, also - to a report that Government are throwing on the market a great quantity of Exchequer Bills, to repay the Bank.

ItRoM THE DEMERARA PAPER OP SEPTEMBER 27. The principal dicers of his Majesty's Customs at this port have instrted in last night's Condit, that all the ports of his Majesty's possessions in the West lodic' and Newfoundland are to be closed against the shipping of the United States, from and after the Ist of December next, in confirmation of _the Act 6th George IV.— An uncial notice also appears from the same authority, that Dutch subjects, being holders of mortgages on estates belonging to Britt4h subjects, made prior to the 12th August, 162.5, and who under these roortgige . deeds have the right of exporting the produce of such estates to the Netherlands, are prohibited from exporting such pro duce-to the United Kingdom, or to his Majesty's Sugar Colonies; and the produce of such estate can only be imported into Great Britain for the purpose of being warehoused for exportation. QUEBEC, Sitrrixsza 21. Fires have this season spread from St. Paul's &y, situated about sixty miles below Quebec, on the north shore of the St. Lawrence, to the bank. of the river Saguenay, over an extent of ground of seventy miles : at the latter place, it was still burning on the 15th instant, and the whole of the soil has nearly been destroyed. Letters from Porto Prince, dated August 28, state, 'that the American establishments are about breaking up, finding it impossible to cope with the trade now carry ing on under the Haitian flag, which possesses great advantages, with respect to duties, over other nations. This morning we received Hamburgh Papers to tha '2sth ult. from which the following are extracts : HANOVER, 0cr.19. The Landroit (Bailiff) of State has lately ordered the 'strict observance of the edict, of 6th Oct. 1694, and of the ordonnance of 12th of Oct. 1740 ; accordingly all unauthorized persons, particularly foreign missionaries, shall be prohibited from holding religious assemblies, and shall not deliver any discourse on religious subjects. Those that transgress these ordonnances shall be ed with imprisonment, and foreign sent out of the kingdom. ST. PETERSBURG% OCTOIIIt 14. ies shall be By an Imperial ordonnance ofJune,Mahometaos and Heathens who embrace Christianity, are to be exempted from taxes for three years. His Majesty has ordered that the Raskolniks (a sect of the Russo-Greek Church) shall not be allowed to build any new churches; the churches and places of worship now in their possession shall remain to them, and they shall not be anywise impeded in the exercise of their religious worship. • The squadron. of Admiral Crogh (qy. Crown?) has lately returned to Cronstadt from its cruise, for the ex ercise of the crews, which began in July, and extended to the coast of Scotland. The mariners of the guard lately embarked on board a shipof-the-line and a frigate, bound fur the Mediterranean. STOCKHOLM, Orrossa 7. The great Committee for the revisal of the Universi ties and Public Schools, of which his Royal Highness the Crown Prince is President, had a sitting last Saturday, with which it concluded its opetations for the present: Count Lowenhielm, our Ambassador in Constanti nople, is said to be commissioned by our Government ro negociate a more advantageous Tariff of Custom house duties for the Swedish trade than that now in force- In the night of Friday we had a violent storm, which tlid considera'sle damage in our port. _ - The Etoik of Tsesday, and the other French Papers to the 51st ult. have arrived. They contain farther pardinlars of I the advantages gained by several detached corps of General Yea 'Rewires army. nye' large Persian divisions. If these statements are correct to their fall extent, there is no possible chance of sue- toss for the Invader". The only hope of the Persians most now rest on the disposidon of the people to join them : and according to every iceman hitherto received, that hope has also been disap pointed. 'Thus an enterprise begun In aggression and folly, is likely to terminate in discomfiture and ruin. • • Advices have bees received from La Guayra to the 24th of September. Reports continued to be circulated that Bot* VAIL bad re-entered the territory of the Republic, but at what place had not been ascertained. General Pan had been collecting as large a force as he caild, but shelved no disposition to advance, and seemed solely bent on maintaining what be had done without enthralling the country in war, if he was not attacked. Bemuses, who commanded the army of the liepublic, appeared equally disin. dined to appeal to arms, and an interview between those two Com manders was talked of as likely to take place, and as the best mode of reconciling the existing differences. At two o'clock in the morning of the 341 of September, a fire broke out in the town of La Guayra, which threatened destruction to all the contiguous stores. Every exertion was made by the inhabitants to subdue the conflagration, but without effect, owing to the want of water, until aided by the arrival of Commodore CIIAICURI, of his Britannic Majesty's frigate Daum, with lice engines, and 200 men from that vessel, and from his Majesty's ship Vatausous, Capt. the Right Hon. the Earl of Huterwooox, which happened to be lying in the roads. Their prompt and timely succour was peculiarly of The sailors immediately formed a street, front the fountain in the market-place to the stores of Mr. Anima, adjoining the fire; and, by thus keeping up a constant and quick supply of water, soon arrested the progress of the flames. The Colswibittwo of the 13th September contains a correspondence between the authorities of La Guayra and Captain Cummins, in which the former express their grateful acknowledgments for the• services rendered lon the occasion At a meeting of the British merchants of La Guayra on the 6th of September, it was unanimously agreed to present Commodore CHAMBRILS with a piece of plate, of the value of one hundred and • fifty guineas. Nothing was positively known at Caraecas, *t the date of these advice., with respect to the movements of the Liberator; but the most intense interest was felt upon the subject. The Colombiand of the 21st September contains the Decree of the Executive respecting the tobacco duties, which was mentioned in our Paper of Saturday last. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. Consols, which were done at 811 to 82 for the Account in the earlier part of the morning, and since receded to slit and for Money 8111 a, have remained at the latter price during the whole of the morning without any fluctuation, and very little doing of cod sequence. The Foreign Market is also heavy, without s feature worth ob servation. AFRICAN EXPEDITION. By the kindness of a friend we are enabled to lay be fore our Readers the copy of a letter addressed by the well-known Capt.Clapperton, to one of his connections in this quarter. It is dated from Hio or Eyo, the capital of Youriba, 22d February, 1826, and is highly interesting on many accounts.—Donfries and Galloway Courier. " No doubt you, and all my other kind friends in our dear native land, would be much alarmed for' my safety, when the sad news of the deaths of the rest of my party reached you, as bad news always travel fastest. I certaini was very ill when poor Pearce died, but the circumstance of having to act as my own doctor, and the power. ful medicine I took, I believe saved me; not forgetting the Dram Prawns, which ever, when a man is plunged in deep distress, gives him new courage to met t himself, and bear up against all misfor tunes. You may in some measure guess my feelings, when so many deaths occurred so rapidly, in so small a party. It is impossible for me to express them. I may tell you how I acted when poor Pearce died, whose death affected me most. After closing his eyes, I sat before the corpse, with my head between my knees, for nearly an hour, without saying a word. I then ordered a light and a watch to be kept over the body, and crawled to the place where I had to pass the night, and next day saw him buried, and read the °with of England service over him. This was the most trying duty of aIL it is little to see a man die; but to see the earth thrown on one whom you knew, loved, and revered ,when living—the last, and best, and kindest, of your companions, that is indeed a burden. You may think it strange that I, a Presbyterian, should have read the service over the dead, but it h a good thing for the living. AU my servants attended, as also the most respectable of the town's•people through Poyens. I have been well used here, and depart in two days for 'feud, where poor Park was killed. I will get all his papers, if net sent home by Bello, and heal. every circumstance connected with his death. I have made important discoveries here, as every foot is new ground. I have past over a range of hills which were not known to exist before; and traversed one of the most extensive kingdoms in Africa, the very name of which was unknown to Europeans. In the capital of this kingdom I have remained upwards of two months. The celebrated Niger is only two days' journey to the eastward of me; its course to the sea in the Bight of Benin, can be no longer doubtful. I would say much more in this letter, but copies of my journals with all my observationa,?ave to be Ant home. I trust you wiU write by the way of Tripoli, as the westein route is doubtful—Belleve me, yours truly, " HUGH CLAPPERTON."

Be fore the Ranger had stood long on her course, a dreadful gale came on, and she beat westward of the Ross-head. The storm increasing, the vessel at length struck against a rock in Kirkandrew's Bay, but again drifted, and got on the main land, when part of the crew and passengers crawled on shore, and the Ranger afterwards went to pieces. In the morning it was discovered that out of the twelve that had sailed from Whitehaven (master, mate, and ten passengers) l three were missing. vii. Wm. Carotin, the mate, Mr. M' Goutlay, button manufacturer, Kirkcudbright, and a person whose name and residence could not be ascertained. After a short search, the body of the mate was found among the rocks. This individual bore, ail excellent character, and has left an aged and disconsolate mo-1 ther, who was entirely dependent upon her son's exertions. Mr. M'Ontirlay's body has not been found. By the wreck of the Ranger, property has been lost to a large amount; but this circum stance excites little regret as compared with the loss of valuable lives. We feel, however, for one youth, who, according to report, was about to begin business in Kirkcodbright, and who, after vi. siting Whitehaven to purchase goods, had embarked his all in the ill-fated Ranger.

OLD BATLIT-THIS DAY: Met Cossassithee, of tbe Coldstream Regiment nt Guards,trius was committed for wilful perjury as Friday, was this day tried and convicted, and seotenoed to be transported for seven years. SENTENCES: The Commox SERGEANT took his seat on the bench at eleven o'clock, when the remaining prisoners were brought up to receive judgment.—The awful sentence of death was passed on the following unhappy convicts, accompanied by a most impressive speech,which affected the whole Court : William Parkinson, Joseph Jones alias Williams, Francis Pierce, Akzander Grant. James Fell, Henry Abrahams, George Parker, Thomas Mansßeid, Sarah Wilmot, Ellen Hartnett, Francis Edema, James Bishop, John Sidney Smith, Alexander Reline Frederick Senile, Charlotte Davis,-Amelia Roberts, Patrick Ryley,; Thomas Foster, James Perry, William Egott, David Bloomield, and Thomas White. The general attention of the Court was turned to wards Thomas White, found guilty of setting his house on fire. He approached the bar with a firmness that was not expected. On hearing his awful doom, he struck his forehead twice, and kept his eyes fixed. The CommoN SIRORANT, alluding to the great in crease of the crime of robberies by servants, said, he felt convinced that the only course that could be fol lowed to put a stop to it, was, to carry the law into fall force; and he really believed that hie Majesty's Minis ters would feel it their duty to recommend this on the present occasion, so that it behoved every one of those who now heard him to prepare for the worst. The other prisoners were sentenced In the usual way, to various periods of imprisonment, and the Court adjourned until Than/lay, 7th of December. Yesterday, Frederick Juaice I.4ahane was indicted for stealing from his employers, Messrs. Warren and Co. of Rood lane, sundry Bank of England notes and sovereigns, their property; and Charles Si*skim', a young Gentleman of high connections, was also indicted for receiving the same, knowing them to be stolen. Mr. LAW opened the prosecution. The prisoner Latham was indicted for converting to his own use the money of his employer, and Singleton with receiving it with a guilty knowledge. A second count charged the former prisoner with larceny. It may be recollected, from our Police Reports, that Latham was a clerk in the house of Warren and Co. and had taken, up money to pay the duties on some sugars, which were never paid ; that he got into the company of Singleton, and proposed a trip to France ; Singleton agreed, and they both set off, having pur chased a variety of articles together, and paid some tavern bills with the money alleged to be stolen. Evidence was gone into, but it fastened principally upon Latham. The case being dosed for the prosecution, Latham offered no defence ; but Hazleton declared he was innocent of the charge, and that be had been deceived by Latham to accompany him to Boa klu, having several friends there. Mr. ALLEY had been anxious before the trial proceeded to object to the indictment, which was laid wrong, so far as the prisoner (Singleton) was concerned; but the friends of the youth decliied availing themselves of this advantage. Several respectable witnesses were then called, who proved, that Latham had reported, that be expected a legacy, and that be was afterwards seen in mourning, as If for the loss of a friend; also that he bad invited others to go with him to France. Numerous other witnesses were called, and established the high and honourable character of Singleton ; and it was also proved, that his friends, who were of the highest respectability, supplied all his wants. The Jury retired at five o'clock, and continued in deliberation until half-past eight o'clock, when they were called in, in conse quence of a communication made to the Court, that in the case of Latham they had agreed, but that they were unable to come to an unanimous verdict with respect to the other prisoner. The Common Seaucaor inquired whether there was any point on which they wished for further information? The burden of the proof, he observed, rested with the prosecutor; and if the guilt of the prisoner was not made out to the Jury,they were bound to ac quit him, by which verdict they would be understood merely to state the impression nude by the evidence en their minds. His LORDSHIP then read over those puts of the evidence which bore on the case of Singleton, and the Jury again retired; and shortly after ten o'clock this morning a communication was nude to the Court that the Jury, who had now been out seventeen hours, bad come to a decision as to the verdict they should return.—They were accordingly sent for, when the Foreman pronounced Latham Guilty; but with respect to Singleton, one of the Jurors held out, in opposition to the eleven others, and would not retract. The Coeur said, then he would be entitled to an acquittal, since the whole must agree. The Jury, however, were discharged, Singleton being ordered to be detained for trial at the next Sessions. The Comte sentenced Latham to be transported for 14 years. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.
