Bank Stock, 2ooSL Neapolitan Rentss, We b.lieve nothing has been yet definitively settled, with respect to the Ministerial Arrangements, rendered necessai y by the lamented death of Mr. CANNING. We mentioned yesterday that the Marquis of LANSDOWN had set out for the Royal Lodge ; and it will be seen by the Court Circular, that his Lordship remained with the Km a considerable time. We understand, however, that the Noble Marquis was not summoned to the Royal presence, but that he merely went ex-ecio. Lord GooEnscn, however, waited yesterday on the KING, by the special command of his MAJESTY, as did Mr. &more Bowles; and from this circumstance, many persons are already inclined to suppose that the Pre. rniership is destined for his Lordship, and that a more efficient situation than that which he now holds is reserved for Mr. STURGES Boosts& They both re turned to town about eight o'clock last night; and this morning, as tally as nine o'clock, Lord GODERICH was •isited at his house in Downing -street, by the Loan CHANCELLoR and Mr. Sruansta BOURNE, when they remained all date in close conference for upwards of an hour. It would be idle, however, to speculate farther Upon these citcumstances, than as they sbew a strong 4isposition on the part of the KING, to retain the present .binet, notwithstanding the loss it has sostained by the deaths of Mr. CANNING; whilst it is very probable that no definite arrangement will take place till after the obsequie► of that lamented Statesman. We do not know whether she hollowing conversation, which took place this morning at the Court of Chan cery, is calculated to threw any light upon this inte testing subject; The Loan Cuassocttoa, upon taking his seat, inti. mated to the Bar, that in conseqeence of the unforeseen melancholy circumstance that had occurred on the deaths of Mr. CANNING, he would not be able to sit later to-day than till twelve o'clock, nor should he be able to sit to-mortow at all. In consequence of this in. terruption, he had no objection, if it met the approbation of the Bar, sit:.er to extend his sittings for a few days after the 17th instant (the day that had been appointed for the breaking up of the Court), or to sit a few days before the First Seal. Several Gentlemen at the Bar disapproved of such an arrangement, asthey had been worked so hard lately, that they had no inclination to remain in town after the 17th. and were quite sure that no benefit would result from his Lordship's appointing an earlier day than the first Seal for resuming his sittings. Lord ELDON bad tried this, but found it not to answer. His Lordship then agreed not to alter the arrangement re specting the sittings. Since writing the above, we h ve learnt that the LORD CHANCELLOR and Mr. STURGES BOURNE bad another confetence about one o'clock with LordGonznica ; after which a Cabinet 'Council was held at the Foreign Office, attended by all the Ministers, who continued in delibe- ration till nearly three o'clock, at which time an express was sent off to the KING at Windsor, with the result of their deliberation. At the same period an express was also sent off to the Duke of PORTLAND, at Chiswick. A Lisbon Mail arrived this morning, bringing the subjoined impos tent intelligence:- 4, LISBON, JUL: 26. 44 A general agitation manifested itself throughout the capital on the 24th ; at first sight it appears useless to relate fact of :La t i.ut. st cllcomitancts of WI, the immense population of Liam s e i ne sy i tn , sses , b u the spirit of fraud that animates our insatiable enemies, and which abuses evey thing, may disfigure the event , if not here, at least in tl.e prostinces, in such a manner that this general act of the most peact able and just de mand may appear a pattial and seditious tumult. We I shall relate simply and concisely what happened. " On the 24th, at two o'clock in the afternoon, news began to be spread of the dismissal of his Excellency General Saldanha. This measure was so unexpected and so extraordinary, that it produced only a general incredulity, but with some anxiety. The reports become more confident, and the fatal inteliigence proved to be absolutely certain; and towards the close of the after noon, groupes of persons were every where seen speaking in a low voice, with that expression of sorrow and fear which an unforeseen calamity generally produces. " At the beginning of the night, a seditious Pries: exclaimed in the Chiado—' Tke money of the Aposto licals triumphs—the wicked Saldanha is fallen I' The populace hearing this insult to the most worthy Minister, in whose patriotism and virtues they placed entire con fidence, were roused from their apathy and consterna tion; and, juJging the esclamations of the Priest to be the fit st expression of a concerted plan, began to chew signs of agitation, and, amidst cries in favour of the Chatter and of Don Pedro, seized the Priest, who is said to be the Prior of the Barreiro. An immense mul titude then collected, and in the most peaceable order proceeded through several streets, crying nut—' Long live the King, the Charter, and General Saldanha I'— There was not the slightest disorder till half-past two in the morning, when the multitude dispersed. • " On the 25th, in the afternoon, when his Excel lency, the Minister of Marine, came out of his office, a crowd of above 6000 persons, almost all respectable, surrounded the carriage, crying Long live our General, Saldanha,' and from the midst of the crowd some cries of indignation were heard against persons supposed to base been the cause of the dismissal of the illustrious Minis ter. The people cried that they made use of their right of petition--that her Highness had been deceived. His Excellency gave his word to represent to her Highness what they said, and that everything might be hoped from her virtues. His Excellency departed, but the crowd remained assembled with the greatest harmony, crying' Long live the King, the Chatter, and General Saldanha.' At the beginning of the night Brigadier General Biquer passed through the streets, Augusta and Duro, begging the people not to be tumultuous, and he was received in the same manner as the Minister of Marine. The crowd increased,and marched through the streets,utteringthe same cries,and stopping at the doors of some persons where they gave vent to the most patriotic exclamations. The troops everywhere replied with the greatest enthusiasm. Similar scenes passed in the theatre of St. Charles, where, at intervals, and at the end, the Constitutional Hymn having been sung many times, the loudest cries of the King, the Charter, and General Saldanha for ever, were heard. Some verses were repeated in the same spirit, and we can affirm, that up to to-day, in the whole of this general and una nimous effervescence, nothing has appeared but virtuous sentiments of attachment arid respect to the King and Don Pedro IV. and to the Constitutional Charter so legitimately given by him, and so worthily supported by his Excellency S. Joao Carlos de Saldanha. " LISBON, JULY 28. " The Gazefte of this date contains two Rescripts of the Princess Regent, dated 26:h July, appointing the Conde da Ponte to be Minister at War and Secretary of State ad interim for Foreign Affairs. N LISBON, JULY 27. " Yesterday passed with perfect tranquillity. In the middle of the afternoon numerous grouper of citizens of all classes began to assemble in the squares. At six o'clock, in the Terreiro do Paco, they broke out into the most ardent exclamations in favour of the King, the Charter, and General Saldanha. A very numerous crowd left this place, and proceeded in the most orderly manner to the residence of the Juiz de Provo, and when they arrived there, they all cried out, Her Highness has been ill informed ; repre sent to her, in the name of us all, that we desire our Minister of War, General Saldanha, for ever!' The Judge at first feared to appear, thinking that such an assembly was tumultuous, but, seeing that every thing was quite orderly, he shewed himself at his window, and among the exclamations of the people, gave his word to go at two o'clock in the morning to Caldas da Rainha, and to represent to her Highness what the people asked, and he immediately went to make the necessary preparations. The same spirit animated the people and the troops, for vast numbers of soldiers were seen, and many patrols, in the midst of the crowd, uttering the same cries, and with the same enthusiasm. It seems almost impossible there should be such perfect harmony in such a great multitude ; the enemies of order never suffered so manifest a vexation, nor the calumniators of the people receive from it such a lesson of prudence. They afterwards went, in the same man ner, to the residence of the Minister of Finance, and in some places seemed to deliberate where they should go. In four days of general agitation and effervescence, none even of those little disorders have happened which are of almost daily occurrence. Notwithstanding this, the military posts are reinforced, and there was a very strong one at the door of the In•endant General of the Police. It is said that his Excellency the Minister of Marine, accord lug to his promise to the people, sends a rept esentation to her Highness; and it is believed to be certain, that his' Excellency the Conde S. Payo sends some others from various public bodies. It is also said, that ten couriers are gone to-day to Calif.'s. The general opinion is. that her Highness will not be indifferent to the respect ful petitions of the people. With the strict truth, which is our duty, we shall state necessarily whatever happens. We received this morning Brussels Papers to the Bth instant. They mention as a rumour, that the kings of • • ' - 14, H , 14111114.4:A4 and riM4l4 'itit the mop ~,r it. Omer whenahe French Russo I; dseva. These Papers,conteiq accounts from podia:est, dated he 14th ultimo, announcing that a firma° of the Sine , TAN had been just published these, which restricted the i ,bsolute power of the HOSPoUAR, and subjeited the ad ministration of the country to the deliberation of the Va li en (the first Boyars, If; in number, who fmm the Prince's Council). It is expressly stated that, accordirq, to the ancient customs of the Principal ty, the Hos podar can execute nothing without the express appro. bation of the B iyars. Prince GIIINA, the present Hospodar, is said to be adverse to this arrange. ment, and it is added that his Highness has been tampering with the Council of Twelve, in order to bring them over to his sentiments. The Prince, who, for obvious reasons, is attached to the eaisting system, grounds his resistance to the proposed change upon the anarchy, to which he says it would inevitably lead ; but neither his arguments, nor his intrigues, proved of any avail, as the Bayer' declared unanimously that the mandate of the SULTAN should be strictly obeyed. —Fears, however, are expressed, that some disturb• ances may arise in consequence of this marked col- lision of opinion between the Hospodar and the Boyars, in which case, the Tusks might enter on one side, and the Russians on the other, fur the purpose of appeals• ing them. However this is not the only cause of anxiety to which the inhabitants of the province are subject, as they have another, and a more tangible Os" in the form of heavy contributions in corn, raised at the urgent solicitation of the Pacha of Silisttia. This corn is intended to provision the Turkish fortresses on the Danube; and the poor peasantry are not only nompelled to supply it, but transport it with emir own horses and waggons to the banks of the Danube. Any change in their situation would be assuredly for the better; and in their hard lot, we have an admirable illustration of the effects of Turkish protection. The following is an extract from the Brussels Papers:— M BRUSSELS, Acs. 7. " The health of hrr Majesty, the Queen, continues to be satisfactory. As the slow junction of all fractures does not permit the progress of it to be noted every day, the bulletin will henceforth be issued only once in three , days. Mined) " D. rvEnAnD. " J. B. " Lades, Ith Asps% $ sass," We likewise received this morning the Noirtaberg Correspondent to the Ist. inst. The following is the only article worth extractint; « BERLIN, Jinx tit. " A report is in circulation on our Exchange, that a new plan of finance will shortly be published, the object of which will be an effectual improvement of the public credit. Though no particulars are knots n, the paper currency has already risen; the circumstance that the plan is the conception of the able Minister of Finance, M. Von Mots being sufficient to give the public a favourable opinion of it. " Several duels having lately taken place mow( the students here. the Authorities have been induced to adopt very rigorous measures against thicabuse. " It is a matter of Musts twee that suicides ate now more frequent in this capital than ever they were be-I fore. This is ascribed partly to the increasing distress of the labouring classes'and artisans, and partly to their constantly increasing desire for the enjoyments 'and comforts of life, which, in many instances, have risen . in price." As several incorrect accounts have appeared re. spewing the persons who attended Mr: CANNING in his dying moments, we are authorised to publish the fol lowing : Mr. CANNING was not attended during his residence at Chiswick by Mr. VANCE; nor did Mr. VANCE see him for the fortnight previous to his death. The medical Gentlemen who attended him were—Sir MATTHEW TIERNEY, Dr. PARRS, and Dr. Homatass, together with Mr. SHUTER, the Apothecary, The persons preens when he died were, Mrs. CAN NINO, Lord and Lady CLANRICAEDC, Mr. STAPLETON, Sir M. TIERNEY, Dr. EIeLLAND, and Mr. SAUTE*. • The Duke of PORTLAND, Mr. CANNING'. brother-in law, came from town as soon as he heard of the fatal event. Mrs. CANNING, in the present period of her sufferings, derives great consnlation from the affectionate atten tions of her amiable daughter, the Marchioness of CLANVICARDE, with whom she has taken up her abode, at the Marquis's house in St. James's-square. Sir Marrnew 'Nance and Dr. liou.ama were present with Mr. Camiguin When he breathed his last. Immediately after the Right Honourable Gentleman's decease, Mr. Sraesercot,'his Pri vate Secretary, issued a Bulletin, which appeared in the Sven of yesterday, announcing the melancholy event; a copy of which was immediately forwarded to the Marquis of Lawanowe, as Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department. Dr. Fauns was not present at the time of Mr. CANNING 'S decease, having been obliged to leave Chiswick for London on Tuesday evening. imme diately after signing the Bulletin. Messengers, with dispatches containing the account of the dan. gerous state of Mr. Casento, were sent off on Monday night to Viscount Gaanviu.s, our Ambassador at Paris, and to the Marquis Wattestar, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Viscount Duster and Wass ordered suns fur the assembling of a Cabinet Council Viscount GOOBllOl left town about half past two o'cloek, in his carriage and four, (Sr the Royal Lodge in Windsor Park, to attend the KINGs having received his Maaerres commands for that pur pose. The Right Hon. Braman &masa left town at the same rime, having also received a communication from his Masan to proceed to Windsor, to attend his MAGGOT. The Marquis of 4ANADOWN returned to town about four o'clock, from the Royal Lodge. At four o'clock the Cabinet Ministers assembled at the residence of the late Mr. Camino, in Downing-street. Those present were the Duke of l'ortland, the Marquis Art Lansdewn, the Marquis of Anglesey, the Earl of Harrowhy, the Earl of Carlisle, Viscount Dudley and Ward, Viscount Palmerston, Mr. Wynn, Mr. Tier ney, and Lord Bexley. The Loan CM/OWN/ILO& arrived at the Council at five o'clock. The Ministers continued in deliberation till hall.past sir o'clock. Viscount Goosaimt, after having a long audience of the Km; at the Royal Lodge, returned to town yesterday evening. Mr. HERRItir was to have emhatked on Tuesday for the - Continent, but in consequence of the too certain approach of that sad event which has now taken place, the Hon.

The feverish excitement which has prevailed in the immediate neighbourhood of Chiswick for some days past, has terminated with the mortal c eer of the cele. - braced individual whose unfortunatec4dition was the origin of it. The village has almost r gained its ac customed tranquillity. In most of the houses in Chiswick the shutters were partially closed this morning, and the inhabitants on all sides were heard expressing their sorrow for the deceased Minister. Although Mr. CANNING'2 last moments were apparently free from pain, for several hours previously he suffered the most acute torture, which was produced by the dreadful nature of his complaint, and no doubt the ex cessive pain which he underwent wascaused by the Gemination that was rapidly extending itself. It may be easily imagined that such violent and almost constant suffering was calculated to harrow up the feelings of all those who witnessed it, particularly those of the family and relatives of the deceased. Notwithstanding the torture which Mr. Caesium eadured, he was per fectly sensible to the last moment, and about a quarter of an hour before his death, the pain be suffered seemed to subside. ite then appeared quite tranquil, sad breathed his last without pain. It would be impossible to desei ibe the anguish and mental agony into whisk this melancholy event has planed Mrs.Caassia. ahn is so ill that she requires the utmost care and but seems almost unconscious of what is passim her.
