AT TWO O'CLOCK. llolanos Brazilian, Imperial United Mexican The German Papers received this day bring intelli gence from Silistria and Nuremberg, to the 25th of August ; at which time nothing appeared to be known there, of the Adrianopolitan armistice. There is a letter in these Papers from a German Officer, serving in the army of General DIEBITSCH, from which it may be inferred that the Russian force—when it moved upon Adrianople—could not have counted less than eighty thousand men : that this army was in high spirits, and excellent condition; and that Constan tinople was its infallible goal. The Bulgarians are beginning to revive, after the devastations and exhaus lions of the recent hostilities, and to fraternise with the victors : while in Russia, military operations—on a scale commensurate with her ambition are said to be marching, pari passe, with negociations for the peaceful establishment of her conquests. We shall hear of annexations anon. The following are our brief selections : 'BANKS OF THE MAINE. A letter from a German officer, serving in the army under Gen. Dlebitsch, contains the following details of the strength of that army : " The Russian army which has crossed the Balkan, was only from 40 to 45,000 strong. But the reinforcements expected from the ports of the Black Sea, where they were to be landed, and also from the banks of the Danube, may be estimated at as many more. Thus, it may be estimated that the Russian General had not fewer than 80,000 men, when he advanced against Adrianople; which is sufficient to dispel the doubts that have been entertained of the possibility of bis journey, and his victorious march to Constan tinople. His army was in excellent condition. abundantly supplied with every thing, and in the highest spirits. It appears that there was nothing to be apprehended of a general rising of the Turkish popu lation against the Russian army. The Turkish troops have shown themselves to be totally discouraged—which may be accounted foe by their belief in fatalism, and the little success they have hitherto had. Is line, this letter represents Constantinople as the gaol which the Russians will in a short time infallibly reach." . as respects that Journal and its contemporaries.... but it is also as notorious, that this very Paper in question is famous for its unprincipled depredations, whenever it finds itself, as it often does, " at the tail of the hunt" in matters of official communication. The piracy which was committed upon ourselves, on Saturday, the 29th August —when we exclusively published at full length the pro- ion of Count DE VILLA FLoa—did not escape ue, though we passed it in forbearing silence. On that oc casion there was fat and rich pilfering, partly from our columns, and partly from those of the Globe : the press was stopped, and the important and authentic communication extracted —not, certainly, verbatim, for it was garbled to conceal the larceny—and given, without acknowledging its source, by the plundering Journal, as its own. Now, " we will ask, is it even decent, considering his political tenets," that he should thus attempt to palm upon the public—as his proper ornaments—the stolen jewels of contemporary superiority ? We have no thought, at all, " that the act was committed by the zeal of his underling," and we only forbore to " ap peal " the next day to his editorial " honesty and honour," because we felt that it would be a waste of time and trouble. When, however, we find him ac cusing others—and wrongfully accusing, too—of the very perpetrations which form a part of his habitual practice, we feel that it would be culpable in us not to disabuse the credulous dupes of his mock-moral expostulation. There is a large class of readers, with whom a sancti monious whine—or the semblance of virtuous indigna tion—passes for the sterling virtue. But in this parti cular instance--if the Standard had really done that, with which it was so impudently charged—it would amount only to the cry of CLODIITS against adultery. CITY. Twscvs o'Ccocz. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off yes terday. 119 a for Account, and 891 a for money. at which prices they remain steady, without any business doing. Up to the present time we bare no further information from the theatre of war. The foreign market is also in a yen inactive state as yet. CITY. TWO O'CLOCK. There has been but very little fluctuation In the Consul Market this morning ; they have been done at 89a for the Account, and at present may be quoted 891 a and 1194 a for Mosey. In the Foreign Market, Brazilian Bonds have improved nearly one per cent. All other foreign securities are the same as yester day. Our City correspondent has just written us to the fol lowing effect : " Some surprise is expressed in the City that no confirmation has as yet been received of the armistice, and the preliminaries of peace between the Turks and Russians. The delay is supposed to be owing to its being sent to the EMPEROR, at St. Petersburgh, for his ratification, before it is officially published !" Quebec Papers to the 26th of August, and Montreal to the 28th of August, have been received at the North and South American coffee-house. HA_CSTEAD, At:G. 20.—" In consequence of the pri vate advices from England, intimating that the Bill to make a new division of the Province, and to increase the representation thereof, which passed in the Provincial Parliament last Session, had received the Royal assent, notices have been put in circulation, calling meetings of the freeholders, of several Townships, for choosing dele gates to a general meeting which is to be holden at Len naxeville on the 26th inst. The Montreal Paper of the 27th of August states, that his Excellency Sir JAMES KEMP is to leave Quebec for Richelieu, to land at Nicotel, from whence he is to proceed through the Eastern Township, and is again expected at Montreal about the middle of September. General THORNTON stated a very curious circumsts at a Meeting of the Proprietors of East India Stock, held this day. The Gallant Officer said that on the eve of the expiry of the Charter, the most minute information should be given to the Court of Proprietors. He had frequently noticed that the House of Commons was put in possession of information long before the Pro prietors of Stock. He should therefore move for a printed list of all pensions granted by the Company,—to whom granted,—and for what services. The Honourable Pro prietor followed up his motion by observing, that Mrs. Hulett—widow of the late Bishop of CALCUTTA—had received a pension of 4001. per annum ; whilst another lady, equally well entitled, and not nearly so well off, had been refused a pension of two hundred and fifty pounds. Whereupon the Chairman of the Meeting said that the Gallant Officer was in a mistake—not about the pensions alluded to—but that the information given to the House of Commons was regularly submitted to the Proprietors. He therefore hoped the Gallant General would not press his motion. General T., seeing that no thing was to be gained by the matter, accordingly with drew it. We are authorized to contradict the statement which has appeared in an Evening Paper of the total want of funds by the agents of Don PEDRO in this country. There are funds still in hand, but we understand that there is a difference of opinion as to the mode of applica tion. Some are for fitting out an expedition against Portugal ; others are for allowing things to take their own coulSe there, and endeavouring to effect a counter revolution 'ln all the islands.—Sunday Times. The Nottinghani Review says—" It gives us great pain to inform our readers, that during the week dis charges have been sent to many of those who are tenants of the Duke of Newcastle, who, in the exercise of their right, voted for Mr. Sergeant Wilde, at the late election for Newark. We have seen one ; the following is a copy: ' I hereby give you notice to quit, yield, and deliver up to his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, or his assigns, at Lady-day next, old style, in case your year's tenantry thereof shall then expire, or otherwise at the end of your year's tenantry thereof which shall expire next after the end of one half-year from the service of this notice, the peaceable and quiet possession of all and every the mes suages, houses, tenements, closes, lands, tithes, and here ditaments whatsoever, situate, lying, being, or arising in the parish of Newark-upon-Trent, in the county of Not tingham, and which you rent of, or hold as tenant to the said Duke of Newcastle. Dated this 14th of Sept. 1829. (Signed) " Wu. EDW. TALLIDII. Agent to the said Duke. To John Taylor, Kirk-gate, Newark.' " The distress in the neighbourhood of Huddersfield con tinues amongst the weavers of fancy goods, which is at resent extremely severe.

The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND honours the Baroness &mow with a visit yesterday, at her resi dence in Great Cumberland-place. Their Royal High nesses went on Monday to their residence in Kew, where they alighted and remained some time, and afterwards returned to town. The Duke of WELLINGTON left town yesterday morning for Widmer Castle, Kent. A wardmote will shortly be held at Dover, at which his Grace, as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, will, it is expected, attend. The Spanish Minister had a long conference with the Earl of ABERDEEN yesterday at the Foreign Office. Despatches from Sir R. GORDON. our Ambassador at Constantinople, were brought on Monday night to the Foreign Office by a messenger who came from Ancona. Despatches were received the' same evening at the Fo reign Office from Lord STUART DE ROTIISAY, our Am bassador at Paris. The Earl of ABERDEEN entertained a select party to dinner on Monday evening at Argyll-house. The Duchess of BERRY has arrived at Path from Dieppe, and towards the end of the month her Royal Highness will set out for the frontiers of the Alps, to have an interview with the King of NAPLES, her father, and her sister, on their way to Madrid. The KING will •visit Path in December, previous to his return to Naples. His Grace the Duke of BEDFORD has generously given 2001. in aid of the Fund to enable the performers to open Covent-garden Theatre.

The two side arches of the triumphal arch to the King's new Palace in St. James's Park are completed. The spandrills of these arches are sculptured with figures of Fame—those on the side of the arch fronting the Park executed by Westmacott, those on the reverse side by Bayly. The shafts of the columns on both sides of the arch are each of them of an entire block of marble. Miss Stephens has been in Paris for some time, ac companied by her brother and sister. She is shortly ex pected to return. It is not true that she is at present en gaged by Mr. Price for Drury-lane Theatre, neither is Mr. Braham actually engaged; but we learn there is an understanding between him and the Manager that he will appear after Christmas. Wednesday morning the freedom of the borough of Doncaster was presented to the Duke of WELLINGTON in a gold box of the value of 100 guineas.

Mr. IRBY, eldest son of Lord Bosros, is immediately to lead to the altar the beautiful Miss NORTIIEY, eldest daughter of Maj. No RTHEY, and niece to LadySr ROXGE. The personal attractions of the young Lady are repre sented as of the most splendid description. The Marquis of CHAW DOS is at present entertaining a party of friends with the splendid hospitalities of Woot ton. Rumour has already connected a re-union, probably purely convivial, and assembled for field sports, with some intended Ministerial arrangement. The approaching arrivals of M. DE VILLELE and M. DE VITROLLES at Paris are reported to be connected with some changes in the Ministry. "It seems droll enough," says the Constitutionnel, " that they should reckon on conquering the majority of the Chamber by the aid of a man whose administration was destroyed by this same majority." Economy is the order of the day. The Finance De partment of France has undergone a thorough supervi sion, and many clerks have retired on pensions. L LOYDS' ESTABLISHMENT. A Meeting of the llobsalbers to the RaabMadam of . Lloyds took place thk astaalsz, at twelve o'clock, for the purpose of hay ing bid before the the helf-yearly report• The Lean MAYOR in the Chair. His Longman congratulated the meeting on the financial state ment he was about to lay before them, and informed the Sub. scribers that a ems of isoo bad been vested in t►e three per cent. Consols during the half leer. making an amount of se`l,ooo during the twelvemonths. The sum now in that stock a the credit of Lloyd's was £11.500. His Lordship further stated. that owing to the pressure of business the last Session of Parliament, the subject of Maxine Insurance bad not bees brought before the House of Commons, but that he bad the assurance of the Chancellor of the Escheeluer that the sub ject occupied the attention of his Majesty's Government. It was then moved and seconded that the Half-yearly Report be received.whkh was carried unanimously. Thanks were then moved to the Right Moss Chairman. and the meeting terminated. SILISTRIA. Aim. 25. This place begins to recover from the miseries of a ruinous siege; the population has been much reduced by disease, and the health of the city is net so good as might be wished. The Russians, however. do every thing possible to alleviate the distresses of the inhabitants ; great sums are expended in repairing the fortifications,—on which the inhabitants, both Christian and Mahometans, are employed, and well paid. Our commercial intercourse with Bulgaria begins to revive, and our Governor does his utmost to favour it. RUSSIA. Aua. 45. While the messengers of victory from our army beyond the Bal ks. rapidly follow each other. the exchange of couriers between our Cabinet and foreign courts, especially Londothis equally active. It is inferred from this that negotiations are going on. simultane- °oily with the military operation., in order to obtain, in the shortest time possible, the blessings of a glorious puce. The French Minister, the Duke de Montemart, has returned from ♦ttiborg, whence he has been for the benefit of sea.bathing ; and, immediately on his return, had a long conference with Count Neaselrode, and afterwards a private audience of the Emperor. We now bear nothing of his recall, which was expected to follow the change of the French Ministry. It is even said that he has received new instructions, which tend to draw still closer the friendship between Russia and France. It may be presumed, therefore, that any differences between our Cabinet. and that of England, are fully adjusted ; and that the great work of the pa. cification of the East will be completed with the full concurrence of all the European Powers.—Nuremberg Goactie. A rumour is in town, on the authority of a person professing to be in the confidence of the Prince DT Po -1.16 N AC, that this Minister—in reply to some observa tions of a great person, on the alarming successes of Russia—stated, that in less than three weeks there would be upwards of two hundred thousand Austrians at Bu charest !—Credat Judceus: there is one on the Ex change, who probably manufactured it. An Evening Paper of last night, in a strain of la mentation, of which the impudence is quite on a par with the querulousness, complains that some exclusive Government intelligence—Goa save the mark!—which it was enabled to announce by reason of its known intimacy with Mr. BACKHOUSE, was pilfered from its columns, to the great scandal of editorial con science and gentlemanly feeling—and converted into a bold second edition of its own—by the Standard of the 21st. Without discussing the principle of such ap propriations, we take leave to say that the remonstrance of our contemporary is a piece of matchless and gratuit ous effrontery. The Standard did not " lie in wait for the intelligence" of the complaining Journal, and—if he did—he could have transprinted nothing from it, which was not embodied equally in the columns of his other contemporaries. This quackery on the part of the self styled " Government organ " cannot be too extensively exposed, nor too decisively counteracted : otherwise the ignorant portion of its readers, we mean innocent igno rants—and they constitute about nine, in every ten sub scribers—may be running away with a notion that it really does command sources of official information, which are hermetically sealed against other Evening News papers. Now this is not only notoriously the reverse THE ARMY. A detachment belonging to the 93d regiment of Foot has re ceived orders to march from Stockport for Chatham, preparatory to its embarkatios for the West Indies. • A detachment belonging to the 35 th regiment of infantry marched on Monday from Maidstone for London, on route to Jersey.

DEPTFORD DOCK-YARD.— The Worcester frigate, which has been some years building in the King's Yard, Deptford, is to be launched next month. This is one of the largest clan of frigates with a round stern. and she is considered a fine specimen of naval architecture. It is said the Louisa the Admiralty have ordered no more ships to be laid down in this yard. The Commercio du Carrara, from Leghorn, arrived In the St. Katharine Docks a few days ago, with a cargo of marble, for the use of the King's Palace, St. James's, amongst which were several blocks of 30 feet long, some weighing upwards of IS tons, which were discharged with the greatest facility. The arrival of the American frigate Constitution at Cowes has excited much interest. The ves.el has been visited by a number of persons, who have experienced the most uniform at tendon (rem the officers and crew. Though one of the oldest ves sels in the American service, she is a very fine one, and is stated by nautical men to present many improvements in her rigging and internal arrangements which might be introduced with advantage into our navy. 'NAMES TUNNEL.—The intention is to proceed with the Tunnel next Spring. when application is Or be made to Parlia ment for assistance. Many visitors have lately taken a peep at this extraordinary undertaking. The extreme north of the Tunnel is at present secured by a strong wall. When the works are con tinued, the wall must come down. Against this wall they have placed large mirrors, which reflect the gas-lights, and form in perspective the intended length of the Tunnel. At pren.lt the excavation extends to the centre of the River, and the visitors find it warm, dry, and gravelled. The right archway at the bottom of the shaft is not open.

The Rev. Mr. Basesae. of Auldearn, carried one of them home with him, and placing it beneath a glass in a dark room, its light threw a distinct shadow from the. glass on a piece of paper held above it. In day-light, its colour was whitish, and its form somewhat like that of a wog Awned.
