The Australian to the 11th of June has been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, but it contains little inibuttation. The accounts from Van Dieman's Land, dated 22d May, state, thar.Mr. BANKS was brought up. to receive judgment. The judgment of the Court was—that he be imprisoned in the gaol of Hobart Town for three months, and to pay a fineto the Crown of 1001. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 6th inst. with other German Papers, have been received. The former Jouie nal contains an article on some arrangements connected with the forms of worship in the Protestant Church of Prussia. It is gravely stated from Rome, that the Craniological System is destructive of the holy Catholic Religion. The following are extracts ROME, SKr/Mirk 15. The Diari6 di Roma, after relating that the Knights of Malta have now settled in Ferrara, adds—" The Council of the Order will now be organised as soon as possible, for the purpose of regulating the concerns of the Order, and of determining its reestablishment and the observance of its statutes, to the great advantage of Christendom." In a Sitting of the Academy of the Catholic Religion at Rome, Dr. Onofrio Concioli spoke of the Craniolo gical System of Dr. Gall, and his theory, which he se verely censured, '• as contrary to morality and to the, Catholic Religion, being founded on the most absurd fatalism and the erroneous doctriae of predestination." FROM THE FRONTIERS OF POLAND, Umlaut 24. According to letters from St. Petersburgh, the Im perial Family was expected there at the beginning of October. The coronation at Warsaw is deferred till the spring, at whit* time the Polish Diet will be convoked., which his Imperial Majesty intends to open in person.— The report which has been spread that his Majesty in tended to visit the army in Bessarabia, appears to have been founded on a mistake, it being now said that the Grand Duke Michael will go thither from Moscow. It is understood that part of the guards will be constantly quattered at Moscow. FROM THE RHINE, Szrzsassza. It seems that the affairs of the Protestant Church, in the Prussian Provinces on the Rhine, with respect to the new Liturgy, which has been so much talked of, will be gradually arranged in a satisfactory manner, as it may be expected that the congregations themselves will judge this matter deserving of their attention, and will then find that it has in no respect such an Anti•evange. lical tendency as many Clergymen would insinuate.— The form of Divine Service, hitherto determined arbi. trarily by the Clergyman himself, is, indeed, more, convenient, and was, like a simple moral lecture rather than the celebration of a Christian holiday,. This is now remedied by the wise ordinances of his Majesty (the King of Prussia); and though the new Liturgy cannot be considered as entirely received, we boar the fine hymns very excellently sung in the Lu. !therm congregation at Neucoied by the young filen of the Royal Seminary, and the prayers in part read by the Clergyman. Thus a beginning has been made in this province ; and this good example, which has been cautiously introduced by the Director of the Seminary, and several other influential members of the'congtega• tion, will have its effect on other Clergymen. The Rev. Mr. Simons, in the village of P.uderbach, was con demned by the Tribunals to hard labour in a fortress, for his pamphlet against the new Liturgy, but has been pardoned by his Majesty. This Clergyman, while he was suspended, received large sums of money sent him by persons averse to the Liturgy, that he might remain firm In the opinions he had expressed. It is believed that Simons is now considered as less deserving of punishment, because he only wrought up the mate rials sent him from a respectable quarter. The union of the two confessions, which is now happily accom plished in almost the whole kingdom, and most parts of Germany, has not yet been 'brought . about in Neucoied. The Lutheran congregation (which, to indi .cate that the division is abolished on its part, calls itself the Evangelical Congregation) has not yet been able to overcome the obstacles that have been thrown in the way. The Royal seminary of Neucoied, which has already given a new and beneficial impulse to the Lutheran schools, will be able to do still more good when the two charities are united, as the ieformed schools will then be under the superintendence of the Director of the Seminary, a man of distinguished ability in his line ; and many abuses in the country schools may then be removed Quebec Papers to the 11th of September have been received this morning, but they do not contain any intelligence. It appears that Athens was relieved on the 24th of August, by the combined forces of leanucAci, Fairing, and PA• 31011Lif, who compelled Rssecan► PACHA to retreat. Several actions are said to Lave taken place in the Morn, in all of which the ad ♦antage bad remained with the Christians. CITY, TWO O'CLOCIi. The Consol Market remains steady, with little fluctuation, and may be quoted up to the present time at 801 I, for Money, and for November 1144 i. The chief business doing is in paying and re. ceiving their accounts. A large amount of Consols was bought in this morning, which could not be delivered yesterday. It is said that the Dartmouth frigate, which has arrived from Ja maica and Havannah, left the latter place on the Slat August, and brings accounts of the sailing of the Spanish fleet on the 28th August. Accounts are in town from Carthagena, stating that only 240,000 dollars bad arrived there, and at the first instance was intended to be sent to England ; but counter-orders bad arrived, and the above sum was left to the disposal of nosivaa. Other iccounts state that 40,000 dollars of the above amount had been taken to pay the troops. Dispatches were this morning received at the Colo nial Office from Lleutenant-General DARLING, the Governor of New South Wain. Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, Sir HENRY TORRENS, and Sir &cu.'s') JACKSON, transacted military business with the Duke of You yesterday morning; at the residence of the Duke of Rut. LAND, in Arlington-ftreet.

Di,p.tches were received yesterday at the Foreign Office from the Right Hun. PAIDINICR LAN', our At bassador at Madrid. _ _ POCOCK is the Author of the new Opera called Pe. veril ifthe Peak, now in rebeatsal at Covent-Garden Theatre. The new music, by Mr. Hoax, is well spoken of by amateurs, especially those pieces allotted to Miss PATON and Mr. &no. The new Comedy called the tireen Roost, was, we understand, originally written for Drury- Lane Theatre, and one principal character in it, drawn expressly for LISTON, was to have been acted by him. Peculiar circumstances prevented its being produced at Drury. Lane, and it is now transferred to Covent- Garden by the author, Mr. Keen% The Earl and Countess of MORLIM are expected to return to Salmon next month, from a tour through the ndnkern and midland counties. ADELPHI.—The half-prices at this Theatre the last two nights have been greater than they were ever known to be. This, we imagine, is greatly to be attributed to the success of the Ballet. VIGO BAY COMPANY.—Yesterday the Committee ap pointed to enquire into the merits of the Vigo Bay pro-' ject, held their first sitting, which was quite private, and nothing respecting it was suffered to transpire. We Are happy to state that the iron trade of Scotland continues decidedly to improve. Pig iron, No. 1, has advanced 10s. a top. The price is now 71. a ton. There is not much perceptible increase in the demand for iron for the foundeties in the vicinity of Glasgow, but from other parts of the country there are considerable orders. IMPROVEMENTS IN ST. JAMES'II.—It is intended to continue Pall-mall in a straight line to the Green-park, by pulling down the Club Houses and the Hotel at the corner of St. James's-stteet, the whole of Cleveland-row, the stables belonging to the Marquis of STAFFORD, the houses opposite, together with Mr. LAIIIBTOWS, and the houses behind it. These improvement.; will leave an uninterrupted view of the Park and his MAJISTI(I3 new Palace, and will allow a grand carriage way into the Park and to the new Palace. It is also intended to re move Little St. James's street, and several small houses in that neighbourhood. A grand crescent is to be built on the ground now occupied by Cleveland-row and Little St. James's•street. When the celebrated Fielding bad finished his novel of Tom Jones, being much distressed be sold it to an obwurebook seller for est. on condition of being paid on a certain given day. In the meantime, he *hewed the MS. to Thomson, the Poet, who was immediately struck with its great merit, and advised Fielding by all means to get free from the bargain, which he did without much difficulty, as the bookseller was nut capable of estimating the value of his purchase. Thomson respmmended the work to Andrew Miller, and the parties met at a tavern over a beef-steali and a bottle. Miller began with saying, " Mr. Fielding, I always determine on affairs of this sort at once and never change my offer. I will not give one farthing more th an 2001."—" Two hundred pounds l" (cried Fielding). " Yes," says the other, " and not one farthing more." Fielding, whose surprise arose from joy, and not disap pointment, shook him by the hand, sealed the bargain, and ordered in two bottles of wine. Miller got a very large sum by the sale of the book. He at different times during his life, assisted Fielding with 25001. which debt he cancelled in his will. Ocsosaa 22, 1625.—Died, at Attieburgh, Norfolk, aged 41, Cap tain Join Gram, a thorough-bred matte according to M. le Nava.

K eu.v was the last survifing uncle of that deservedly popular actress, Miss 'CULLY, who of course, withdraws from the exercise of b.r professional avocations at Drury-Lane Theatre, until after the funeral of her uncle. O'Kuntlre, notwithstanding his advanced age, and his perfect blindness, is in the full possession of all his mental and ' bodily faculties, and the peculiar vivacity which has distinguished Idm through life. His recollections abound with original anecdotes and entertaining stories, relating both to Polities and the Drama. Some doubts having arisen on the qualification of Jurors under the late Act, application has been made to Mr. Pan. on that subject, and the following answer has been received by the Magistrate who addressed him : Whitehall, Sept. 28, 1826. " SIR—I am directed by Mr. Secretary Peel to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 26th inst. The clause of the Jury Act to which you refer was not introduced by Mr. Peel, but by another Member, whose intention in introducing it was expressed in the circular letter of the 10th of August last, to which you adverted ; and though the words are certainly equivocal, I apprehend that the meaning may be sufficiently collected from the context—for if a Juror were to be qualified by being rated to the poor's.rate at 20/.6 year, on any property whatever, it would be absurd to require an assessment to the house duty, which applies to the house only on the same value. Mr. Peel is aware that this construction has not been universally acquiesced in, and he intends In the next Session to introduce a Bill for amending the defect in the Act, and any other which may in the mean time be discovered. (Signed) " G. R. DAWSON." THE TARTIIFIIE.—MoIice, it is said, while undeter mined what name to give this admirable Comedy, happened to dine at the house of the Nuncio, where be met two Ecclesiastics, whose hypocritical air of self mortification well answered to the character he had been endeavouring to paint. It happened truffles were presented to, them; the Ecclesiastics were delighted, and one of them, selecting some of the finest, exclaimed at the same time, Tartofoli, signor Nuncio, Tartofoli. It was from this occurrence that Moliere bit on the name of the Turtle for his play. Coxcoms.—This word, of which the application is too frequent to requite any explanation, originally meant the top of the cap worn by licensed fools, which was often a cock's head and comb, With some of the feathers. The nse of the word seems to be approach. ing nearer to its historic analogy, for dandy has super ..ceded the application of it to those who are merely con ceited of their persons and dress, while coxcomb is more generally applied to those literary fops who deserve the fool's cap. The following anecdote, omitted by Robertson, is rr lated of Charles the Fifth, by a French writer, in an enu meration of other deficiencies, in the Scotch historian : In the year 1547, when Charles the Fifth entered Wit- Lemberg in triumph, and visited the public monuments, Ferdinand, the famous Doke of Aleut, and the Bishop of Arras, Granville, who attended him, proposed to him to destroy the tomb of Luther, which had been erected the year before, and to disinter the body of that heresi arch, in order to have it burnt. This prelatical zeal was not without the sanction of great examples drawn from the appropriate source of ecclesiastic history, which prove the legality of this procedure against a shade and a corpse. In 1128, Pope Baniface VIII. caused Wick liffe to be taken up forty years after his decease, and commanded that his remains should be publicly burnt. Two other Pontiffs also, Stephen and Sergius, did they not disinter Pope Formosa, from whose right hand they cot off three fingers, and threw him into the Tiber, eight months after his death ? Charles the Fifth was not moved by the pressing exhortations of the Duke and Bishop, although they were both his intimate Counsel lors. He listened to their remonstrances with much se riousness. At last he replied, 4, I have no longer any thing to do with Luther; Luther has now a Judge, whose jurisdiction I must not invade; besides, consider, Gentlemen, 1 do not wage war against the dead, but against the living, who bear arms against me." The Emperor kept to his word; and prohibited the demoli tion of Luther's tomb, under pain of death. • LONDON Cates.—ln the time of HILNRIt VI. an anti quarian writes, that London cries consisted of " fine felt hats and spectacles; pease, strawberries, cherries, pepper, saffron, hot sheep's feet, mackerel, green-pease, ribs of beef, pye. &c. In the Pepysian Library, are two very ancient sets of cries, cut in wood, with inscripdons; among others are, " buy my rope of onions; white Sir Tuomas's oolong ; rosemary and bays ; bread and meat for poor prisoners; ends of gold or silver; marking-stones; a mat for a bed; maids hang out your lights; glasses, fine glasses; a tanker-bearer; maribenes, maids, maribones; ells or yards; band. strings or hand-kercher buttons ; a brush or a table-hook ; small coal a penny a peek; I have screens at your desire, to keep your butey from the ire; buy a cocke or a gelding (capon)." Formerly, it was a practice to set the London cries to mink, retaining their peculiar and musical notes. TRAP /OR A PUN.—Dr. PARR being on a IliOt at a friend's house, in Grosvenor-square, and a warm bath having, at his request, been prepared for him, his attention was directed to two bells in the room, one of which, he was told, was for hot, and the other for cold water. Mr. had, however, given orders that, upon the ringing of either bell, a fresh supply of hot water should be poured in. PASS when in the bath, thinking it too warm, im mediately rang what lie had been told was the cold water bell, and waited for a minute or two, expecting the heat to diminish. Finding, to his great surprise, the water hotter than before, and thinking that he had pulled the wrong bell, he rang the other as hard as pos sible. But this only increased the evil, by producing a reinforce ment of bet water; until at length, the heat became so intolerable, that he jumped out of the bath, in a passion ' exclaiming, ". Good Goo, do they mean to boil me?"—" No, Doctor," said Mr. who was listening on the side of the door, I only intended that you should be poe-boiled."—Nea Ilonthlylllsiarine. NOTHING SEW.

For a week past, Meetings of the Commissioners undo the bankruptcy of Sir William Elford and Co. h ave continued dailf. Much of their time has been occupied in investigating the claim of Messrs. Towgood and Co! Stock-brokers, of London, to prove as a debt against the estate of Mr. John Tingcombe, one of the partners, a balance of 2,8211.185. being the amount of loss in certain Steck speculations entered into by Mr. Ting. combe, between August, 1824, and November, 1825. Mr. G. Towgood was present, assisted by Mr. Counsel lor Bayly. The claim was opposed by Mr. Jago, as Solicitor to the Assignees, on the ground that the trans actions from which this balance had arisen were time bargain*, and therefore illegal, by the stipulations of the Act of 7 Geo. 11. Mr. BAYLY, on the part of Mr. Towgood, argued, that the speculations in question, being in the Foreign Funds, were not illegal, for the Act abovequoted, only provided against time bargains in British Stock. In support of his argument, Mr. Bayly cited a case in the 3d volume of Henderson and Byce, fol. 38, in which the Lord Chief Justice Abbot had decided that the Act did not affect specula t ions in the Foreign 'Funds. The Learned Counsel also quoted a case to shew, that whet e l one part of an account was legal and the other part il legal,they were divisible, and one transaction by no means invalidated another with which it might In coupled. Mr. JAG° candidly admitted, that the decision of the Lord Chief Justice Abbot in the case just cited by Mr. Bayly, rendered it doubtful whether the claim of Messrs. Towgood could be successfully opposed on that ground ; but he would call on Mr. Towgood to produce the authority he received from Mr. Tingcombe to purchase the 11,0001. Mexican Bonds, in the transactions con nected with which the balance claimed had partly arisen. Mr. Towgood, could not, however, produce the specific order; he said he must gather it from different letters ; but Mr. Bayly said this was unnecessary,. for Mr. Tingcourbe hid afterwards recognised the trans action when the accounts were sent to him for in. spection, and this admission was quite sufficient to legalize the business, even though the original direc tions of Mr. Tingcombe had not been precisely attended to. The Commissioners appeared to acquiesce in these observations. After a mature discussion, it was decided that Messrs. Towgood and Co. were allowed to prove only the sum of 1,9001. against the estate of Mr. Ting combe, this being the difference on Foreign Stock, and not embraced by the prohibitions of the Stock-Brokers Act. The remaining 4211. 18s. arising from specula tions in British Stock, and consequently illegal, Messrs. Towgood were declared not entitled to prove. At the same meeting, a first dividend was declared on the joint and separate estate of the bankrupts, viz. On the Joint Estate . Sir W. Elford's ditto . Mr. Tingcombe's ditto . I►lr. Clarke 's ditto . ss. in the Pound. . ss. : 4s. . 20$. DRAWMG d THE LOTTERY.— Whereas it is mali. cloudy asserted by an anonymous correspendent in the Morning Chronick of this day, that application would be made to the Lords of the Treasury for a further postponement of the Lottery ; the Public are most unequivocally and positively assured by the Coo. tractors that no such application has been, or is intended to be made; but, on the contrary, it is absolutely ant inevitably determined by Government, that this last df Lotteries, shall and will, and must, be decided next Wednesday, the I Sth inst. Last week, a student of Lincoln's Inn, for a trifling wager,leaped ftom the centre arch of Vauxhall Bridge, and swam to a boa t stationed'-at some distance. He, accomplished the task ; but ruptured a blood-vessel, and was much hurt by the concussion, but he has recovered. It is a legal fact not generally known, but which is worth knowing, that soldiers, when they are quutered in houses, and weekly tenants, are liable to be assessed to the relief of the poor. It is also of some consequence for publicans to know, that persons on whom the soldiers are billetted are legally bound to find them accommodations in their own houses, and that it is optional with the soldiers, whether or not they will accept of lodgings being found for them out of the house on which they are billetted. DEATH FROM GORICANDIAINGI.—An Inquest was last night held at the Marquis of Granby public•house, Knightsbridge, before Mr. Higgs, on the body of Tho mas Cooper, a Gentleman's coachman, 30 years of age, who met his death in the following extraordinary way: —lt appeared in evidence, that the deceased and a number of other persons supped together at the above house, off three geese, on Wednesday night, when the deceased, who ate most voraciously, got drunk, and was assisted to the watch-house by some of the pasty, where he became very ill, and appeared to be choking. A doctor was sent for, but the deceased had expired be fore be arrived. On looking into his mouth, the sur geon perceived it stuffeJ full of large pieces of goose, and he had died in contequence of being choked. The Jury, after a long and angry discussion, postponed the inquiry for further evidence. Tun Jewisa New Yes a.—The first day of the new year 5586 was celebrated with great solemnity by the members of the Hebrew faith, in this town, on Monday last. Two days are appropriated for the performance of Goa's commandment, that 6 4 Ye shall remember in holy convocation and sound the shoufar," which is done to commemorate the first day of the creation, and which is repeated for ten days. The day of atonement for the expiation of their sins takes place on Wed nesday next, on which occasion they remain in their place of worship throughout the day, returning thanks to their MASER, who has permitted them, from year to year, to assemble in their synagogues, and to celebrate their holy day, and inspired them with feelings of gra titude for the mercies they have received from Hut since the destruction of their holy temple, and while they have remained in their present scattered state through out the globe. Their appearance and their form of ce remonies on that holy day fully evince a day of atone ment. The feast of tabernacle takes place a few days after the atonement, during which they mostly reside in tabernacles, and devote themselves to joy and gladness. The most prominent acts of the Hebrews on these ccca sions, is the liberality with which they entertain the lower classes, by giving them nourishing food, and distribut , ing to all—charity,---Liverpool, Uot. 9. Palma Wir.--The other day, as a countryman was passing the back of a jail in a Scotch town, he recognised an old at, quaintance among some of the inmates who stood at one of the upper windows, and through the gratings of which, although denied the enjoyment of mountain air, he was at the moment contriving to 4upply himrelf with a pleasant substitute in the form of mountain dew. " Alt, save us, Saunders," said the countryman, who did net ibstrwe what was going on—" that's sun mane dowk hole for a :beery muirland bird like you, to spen' sic bonnie summer days In i sbow do you manage to keep up your spirits, Man ?"......4 Bewley, ti you may see, I ant; replied the other, "when we feel out „Arita down, we pull them up with a Lang string."
