In . . the i gradivf 20.0001. to Lord Melville, it was expressly std that the money should be applied to the liquida tion of his Lordship's debts. The,Cuaidasan highly estimated the services of the late Marquis; but if it was nut for the necessities of the family, he never would have proposed the present grant. Mr. RANDAL JAMISON replied at some length, and concluded by proposing his amendment as the last bom• age to the shade of that illustrious man whose deeds were so often spoken of with gratitude in that Court. After some further - discussion as to the terms of the amendment proposed by Mr. Randal Jackson, Sir JOHN DoYEA said, that as one honoured by the intimacy of the late Marquis, he felt called on to say a few words. The general sentiment throughout,the City was, that the Court had tarnished its. liberality by the ungracious terms in which it was conveyed. (Hear.) —He supported the amendment, and hoped die original resolution would not be adhered to from there tenacity„ The amendment was then put and negatived. aqd the original motion carried.—Adjourned. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. TitUtISDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1827. STOOK, E i XCHANOK, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Cuusuls opened this morning ar 871, and at present may be quoted at 87/ to /, and for next time 871 is with heck doing up to the present time, as them is no farther accounts from Constan tinople in regard to the affairs of Turkey ; and the Speculators are afraid to venture, to any bile amount, before some positive infor mation arrives on the subject. In the Foreign market, a great deal is doing in Mexican Bonds, which have get up three per cent. owing to some information by the packet; but which has doe yet transpired. • CITY. HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. •The Contei matket has been fluctuating, during the moraine, from 87/ to 87 for the Account; and at present may be quoted at 87* to }, and 87} j fur next time. The business in the atx;ve market has been of little consequence. In the Foreign Market another trick has been played off this morning in Mexican Stock, as usual when all Packets arrive from that quarter. On the opening of the Market, it was immediately repotted that a ship was waking at Vera Five to take 5C0,000 dollars on board for Government account ; this story had the desired effect, and Mexican Bonds advanCed to 471,a rite of 3 per cent. — Soon after they again receded to 44/, and within a few minutes a re-action has taken place, and are advanied again to 46.• The 'intone private letters received by the Mexican packet are of the 14th Aug. from the above capital, which are far hens a consoliag nature. The Mexican Government were just an' the point of concluding a Loan of'One Minion and a Half of Dollars, with the . Agent of the house of Messrs. Basses'.-500,000 dollars were to be taken in Hills on landed ; ospoo fa 'hard cash, and the remaisder os their own local paper, to be secured on the tobacco duty. Messrs. B ma's Agent, at the moment the Loan was going to be concluded, received :deices from his house in London not to take the L••an the Government then offered it to Messrs. Mausuita and Mosso, as well as to a Spanish House in the above capital, which was likewise refused ; after which no alter native remained to the Mexican Government, and they advertised the Loon in the Palm: to receive teams to the end of August to l , be guaranteed with the tobacco duties. The letters from Vera Cruz of the 16th August are also of Anl unfavourable description ; they state—no money, no confidencc, l but order was again restored.

The augmentation, compared with the corret. pondiag Quarter last fear, amounts to qo less than 605,7871. More than the half of that sum is made up by the increase of the Customs, a proof that our foreign trade is rapidly recovering (rem its depression, and as this has been by no means a year of speculation, but rather the contrary, such as inesease may be fairly attributed, not only to an augniented but to a healthy commerce.— Some por hoe of ifie encretse in the Customs, is no doubt to be ascribed fd the receipt of duty upon the Foreign Corwsaken dut of Bond, under the provisions of the Act of chi last Session. The You Office and the Stamps, t o branches of the Revenue which are di rectly dependent upon the activity of our internal coin.H mem, exhibit also a coustderahle encreale. Bogota Papers to the 3d August have been received this morning at the North and South American Coffee House. The following is an extract: " The hopes that had been for med of tranquillity being speedily restored in the departments of the South have en disappointed by die intelligence received last post. prom the contents of the communications between the hiferent authorities them. it will be seen that the uunitipality at Guayaquil have not nesisied in the fullest degree from the illegal preteshions they bad put forth in the regard to 'the Government of dos sitspartiment. Net the slightest disposition appears to etist on their part to recede from these haughty de mands; and they still maiatairt. that.the isothorities appointed by the Government are unconstitutional, and that they are lawfully bound to obey only those of their own choosing ; at the same time that they abound in protestations of submission to the constitution snd laws. To those who have unhesitatingly avowed their convictian in the uprightness of the motives by which the municipality of Guayaquil have been actuated in their proceedingi, will we leave the task of reconciling their conduct with their professions. a ' it appears that General Olando has arrived in Guayaquil, and has been put in the nominal command of the Division. We say nominal, for we are assured in private letters that the troops he bad received orders to embark for Panama have refused to obey. We are also told that part of the battalion of Ayachuco, about '2OO men, which had been sent from Bolivia by General Sucre, instead of proceeding to Cuenca, whither the remainder had gone under the command of Colonel Anscategui, had been instigated to desert by some Officers from Guayaquil, and had set sail for that city• N The'presence of so large a body of troops without discipline, and recognising no other law than their own will—the illegal and arrogant conduct of the Munici pality, and the approbation . 'heir measures appear to receive from General Olaudo, from wham we should 'have expected at kin neutrality, if he found himself incapable of offering more effectual resistance; all these circumstances united, afford too many grounds to fear a of the civil dissensions that bare dis tracted the Republic during the last eighteen months." • . Jismaita Papers have also been received to the 4th September, The following letter had been received from Carthagena by the packet : " General Bolivar left Turbaco on the 9th inst. for Bogota. General Santander 'must fly, if he has any regard for his personal safety, as Bolivar is determined to treat him with the utmost rigour. The head quarters of this Government ii i to tse4erwoved to Ocana. when Bolivar intends to assemble a.General Congress with all possible expedition. Bolivar leas 'assumed the tone and manner of a Dictator, and speaks in plain terms of the manner in which he intendsto carry on his operations; hi; plans are to establish three standing armies to sup port. his authority—one in the East, one in the depart ment of Carthagena, and another in the South, when it is biped the affairs of the Republic will assume a mote settled appearance. You may talk of liberty because you understand it; 'but we, who are centuries behind you, were wholly •unprepared for the sud den change in our ideas and habits. Nothing but the strong arm of authority can do anything for us here ; and we have every expectation that as Bolivar has ►haken off his apathy, that he will save us from the inevitable consequences which must otherwise await us from our internal disceosions." By the arrival of the Lisndon line of packet ship Cambria, Captain Warnock, New Yolk Papers to the 16th ult. have been received, as also Papers from all parts of the United States. Tiemendous gales had been experienced along the whole coast of North America, and innumerable losses have been sustained. Newseas, Sue 1. ' 4 It is many years since this town and our coast have been visited by so tremendous a gale as wu experienced on Saturdayand &tun day night, the'2.sth August. The destruction of property in New bern was lamentably great : houses blown down, vessels were driven on the wharfs, and even the wharfs themselves dashed to pieces, and thrown some distance into our went. The extent of calamity at the bar and on the coast we have tactfully learned, bat as far MI we have, it is deplorable indeed. • An English brig from Honduras for London, with a valuable cargo of specie and cochineal, was cast upon Cape nacre*, and will be last—of particulars we are uninformed. " Several vessels were driven on shore at St. Tbonsaa's, in the pie of the 17th and Lath alt. The brig Clam Porter s of Phila delphia, was lost." Accounts from St. Kitt's and - Nevis state that all the British vessels suffered a great deal; the losses are unknowns. The British sloop Wheel of Fortune strewed at Sc. Bartbolonseves on the 40th August, fell in with the sebsoner San Cassidy, woks.' all the crew except the Captain, wlso was drowned. Last night a Messenger arrived At the Russian Am-, bassador's, in Hayhill, with dispatches from St. Peter,. burgh. The Messenger was &so charged with dis• patches from our Ambassador at that Court to Earl DUDLSY, at the Foreign Office in Downing-street. Demerara Papers to 2.:h August state. that official information had been received from England, of the determination of the Government to incorporate Berbice with De nes ara and Essequibo. The-Earl of HUNTING DON wa. busy in effecting improvements in the port of Demerara : the most important aprar s. to be the pilot age; and the towing of merdhantmen over the bar by .tearr. boats.

It was also said, when the courier left Fredericton, that the mail had been sopped; but the arrival of the letters from the States, by our mall on Sunday, is a sufficient contradiction of this statement."

About ten o'clock, his Royal Highness the Loan MOM ADMIRAL, attended by Sir Jamas C , arrived at the Artillery Barracks Gate, where be was received by a detachment of the Horse Artillery witk their Band, and a salute of 21 guns. His Royal Highness then entered, and inspected the different departments of the Barracks. Between twelve and one o'clock her Royal Highness the 11 ..........--vhesa of CIA. MIME, accompanied by her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA ; and Duchess of GLOCCIIITIS, and attended by a numerous suite, escorted by a party of the Horse Artillery, arrived and joined the Loan Htau ADMIRAL; amidst the cheers of the populace and a salute of twenty one guns. At this time the rain was descending in torrents, and the troops were marching and counterrparching in ' all directions, unconscious what to do. At length orders were re ceived for them to assemble in the tiding.house of the Horse Artillery Barracks, where (all hopes of the weather clearing up having vanished), her Royal Firemen the Duchess of Ccaarpcs presented the Royal Marines with the colours, after which an appropriate Address was delivered by his Royal Highness, In the course of which his Royal Highness took a review of the eminent services which the corps had performed in various parrs of the .world, so much to the honour of their country. On the colours being handed to the Ensign, the troops gave three cheers, and were dismissed—the marines returning to their barracks, beating the colours with them. They were of a superb description, having an anchor, on the stork of which was a figure of 4, under the anchor was a globe, and beneath that the motto " Per mare et per terrain." The Royal party then paid a visit to Sir Joust 11•Lroo, and at half past two o'clock his Royal Highness entered his carriage, and pro- ceeded to Ve Green Man, on Blackheath, where he entertained a large party of Field Officers to breakfast, at three o'clock. In going and returning, tbdr Royal Highnesses received the cheers of the Ilitecuitors. . FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

The storm came from the South, and must, we fear, have done some damage to the shipping, if it extended to the cosh. At half past one o'clock its fury abated.

There bein g si me apprehension that all was not right, a man b e l ong i ng to Messrs. Sseel's shop went down to exami ne the premises, and was sa isfied that there was no gas in the cellar ; he. accordingly returned with a candle, %Inn the gas issuing from a small chink 101 l imed, and communi cating with the adjoining apartments, the wham ex ploded. The noise was heard to a c. nsiderable dis tance, and caused much alarm in the neighbourhood. A number of the doors and windows are blown out, and the stone pavement in the common pas s age was completely torn up. One of the stones, weighing pro. bably two hundred weight, was raised up and set epos iti side. A stone belly one of the windows in the Medical Hall, fir wing Argyle -street was shot out, and a number of bottled, &c. were broken. With the ezcep. Lion of the man from whose candle the gas ignited, no person was hurt, and he was not materially injured. 4 In consequence of the pressing nature of the recent engagements of the LORD HIGH ADMIR A L , the v i s i t o f his Royal Highness to the Tunnel has been postponed until next week, when he will be accompanied by his Grace the Commander in Chief; and most of the scion. tific Noblemen and Gentlemen connected with thin respective departments; and in order that no impedi aunt may be thrown in the way - of a minute and satis factory examination of the entire extent, labour, and ingenuity of the undertaking, it is intended to close the works to public inspection on the day un which the Royal - and Noble party visit them. Yesterday, as a poor man, named Jenkins, in the employment of Mr. Aldridge, builder, of the Commer cial road, was descending from the roof of a house in Charlotte-streer, Whitecharel, when a few steps down the ladder, his foot slipped, and he was precipitated to the ground and killed upon the spot. Saturday a gardener at Thorpe, whilst digging, had the good fortune to turn up a quantity of coins, mostly silver, and one of them bearing the date of 1577. They bad been placed in an earthen jar, but the lapse of time had decayed it, so that they were found rather scattered. They have since been purchased by a Gentleman for 301.—Norwich Post. An accident occurred on Friday tan, to Mr. Brown. rigg, a Gentleman of the highest respectability, who has been for some time past residing at the fot• perial Hotel, in this town. He was following the I Cheltenham harriers, when, in endeavouring to leap a stile, his horse fell in the attempt, and threw him, by which he sustained a severe fracture in the thigh.— Cieltenhans Chronicle. Yesterday M. Garret, aged 14, and another boy, were amusing themselves, in Peter Street, Westminster, sith gunpowder, a quantity of which the former had io his 'hand, when his companion threw a light at him. De powder immediately exploded, which ..carified his fa in a most frightful manner, and deprived him of sight. He was instantly conveyed to the Westminster Hospital, where every possible attention was paid to his deploy able case. AFFECTING ACCIDENT.—It isustsal, at the concidskel of largest, for the reapers to leave a few stalks of corn ow; ' Which, being plaited together, are called " the Hare." At an inanimate game they cast their sickles, in succession, beeiluggi st the leading reaper, designated " the stibble.rig," and so on, stew& ing to their standing in the field; and he who is so deeterow or fortunate as to cut down the bare, is borne home in triumph ea tie shoulder' of his companions, his hat decorated with the severed ears, and is entitled to the first glass at thew Churn." Two little boys, brothers, named /Jan us, whose parents reside at Carrick abreadie, about two miles east of Derry, having 'Moroni tk throwing at the hare, wear to a field, provided with Firkin, is re-set what had interested them no little. Therwere thus inlet ing themselves, when one of them having thr o wn awry, drove de implement into the throat of the other who stood at his side, and inflicted so dreadful a wound, that almost instant death ensued. Yesterday evening between six and seven o'cl..ck, wo smartly dressed men. in a state of intoxication, drove furiously up Fleet-street in a gig. On arriving nears/ opposite the opening by St. Bride's chtt:cl‘, the chaise came in contact with a cut ; the shock was so great that the vehicle was up'et, and both the Gentlemen were thrown into the street; the animal being frightened, continued its course for some distance, •dragging the chaise, which was considerably shattered, behind. The Gentlemen were taken up, one of them nearly in a state of insensibility, and conveyed into the oil-shop close by : the other's face was much lacerated, and his coat nearl 7 torn from his back. The horse was stopped v ithoot c ling further mischief. An Inquest was held on Tue•day evening at the Star and Garter, Sloane-square, Chelsea, on the body of Margaret Scurgay, wife of a scld•er, who died through neglect and drunkenness. A very long examination into the cause of her death took place. The womis had formerly been acquainted with a Baronet, who allowed her twenty shillings weekly ; she afterwar ds married the soldier; who on Monday detected her with a Life Guardsman, and. feeling indignant, declared that she should not enter his lodging; the consequence was that she remained in the street in a drunken state, the 1 watchman neglecting to take her to the watch-house. At length she was' taken home, aftei lying four ho u . rs in the street, by her husband and' the watchman, at sti T m The y ej o e r r n i i morning , c , ded n d died th at a t sheon e d o i ' e c j i u c fr k o o: a otbe po 'cl" p u ln km y one , d i T n ayu a esd. state of intoxication, and being cxpood CO the =leniency of the weather for - four Louts. b.
