This being Settling-day at the Stock Exchange, there is a great deal of business doing. The Market opened at 781 for the Ac count, when the Jews sent in their Agent, who bought upwards of half a million, upon an express they received from Paris. Another party also received an express, and sold largely. Cow Sots are, up to this hour, 78 for Money, and 781 for the May Account. The different fluctuations during this Account are from 781 to 81*, down again to 771, which is a rise and fall if nearly six per cent. Information has been received this mum Ing from Odessa, of the 15th March : it states the Excbmge WM mending, and the Russian Officers Were enjoying themsebroi there. The army remained in the same position as before. Folsom Mae:cr.—A great bustle prevails here this morning, and Spanish Stuck has much improved since yesterday, when P was done at 611, and this morning may be quoted as follows: Spanish Bonds done at 65, down again to 644. Prussian - 85 (sellers). Danish 844. Neapolitan - 674. A report prevails that the French Funds have come higher— Cf. 50c. Columbian Bonds 107, New ditto 1134. 'Great de mand for them.

The following important information has been re ceived by a respectable merchant in the city this morning, in a letter, dated Constantinople, March 15: It states, that the population are to be immediately armed, that an order for a levy en masse has been issued, and the foreign Ministers have been officially adve:tised of the rejection of the Russian ultimatum. In consequence of which the greatest consternation prevails in the Turkish capital. At a laze hour this forenoon we received a Flanders and a Dutch Mail, bringing Papers of a late date. An article from the frontiers of Moldavia, and of the 14th March, states, that on the evening of the 9th of that nwnth a fire broke out at Jassy, which destroyed 5.90 houses. • The Janissaries have been accused of causing the confl tgration ; they attacked Ole other troops (Tilemes) with great fury : the Tilemes de fended themselves from the houses, by which 100 of the inhabitants were killed. The Janissaries are said to have lot 190 killed, and SO wounded. &mac Germans who have arrived from Jassy can not find terms to describe the misery that reigns in Moldavia. The land is nowhere tilled ; all the user chandize, especially clothes, have been seized by the Turks. In the streets, which are never remarkably clean, dead horses, half putrified, lie about, and only a few half-naked gypsies are to be seen. Were not the peasants in Moldavia and Wallachia already ac customed to live under the severest oppression, they certainly would not endure the tyranny of the Tusks, but as there is little difference between the treatment they experienced from the Bojars and their agents and that they receive fronithe Tusks, and the peasants are so simple that they have no notion of their melancholy situation, but approach every superior, consequently . the Turks, with the most abject humility ; they find all this quite natural. As well the peasants as the gypsies have been partly relieved by the Turks from the burden of bringing up their children, almost every Janissary having appropriated to himself some boys and girls, and sent them to his own home. At this time there are hardly ten thousand Russian troops in Bessarabia. It is stated in the Haerlenz Courantya the 9th inst. - ..that, on the 2d, two couriers arrived successively from St; Petersburgh at Berlin, which has caused great bustle in the Ministerial departments : it was re ported that , the first had brought the news of the rejection of the ultimatum by the Turks, and the second the declaration issued in consequence by the Bus- sian Cabinet. This forenoon we received a Spanish Mail. bringing Madrid Papers to the 29th ult. The following are extracts. AIADRID, MARCH 27. There have been some disturbances, or rather at tempts to create disturbance at Lorea, on the 19th, where some persons who were singing patriotic songs in honour of the Anniversary of the Constitution, were insulted by others singing the Tragola. Accounts from Aranjuez, of the 25th, say there bad been a slight disturbance in the Theatre the day before, on a dispute whether patriotic songs should be sung or not. Order was, however, not materially interrupted. Accounts from Barcelona speak of new manceuvres of the tactious, of which, however, the Authorities were fully aware. CADIZ, MARCH ID.

VALENCIA, MARCH n. Oar troubles do not cease. The day before yes terday a troop of students, seduced by the favourers of anarchy, appeared before a post of artillery, in sulted it, and had afterwards a quarrel with other individuals of the same arm, at the gates of the Uni versity. The Alcalde of the nearest barrier, who en deavoured to restore tranquillity, was pelted with , stones, as well as four soldiers of the regiment of Zamora, whom he had called to his assistance. In these circumstances, thirty soldiers with an officer appeared to check this tumult, and the students being confined for a moment within the University, offered to the Political Chief, who immediately arrived, to be quiet, and not utter any more cries; but•scarcely did the Political Chief, trusting on this assurance, cause the soldiers to retire, when they again began to throw stones, with cries of " Riego for ever!" to which they added the alarming expression, " the country is rn danger!" and others of the same kind. The Com mandant General, the Political Chief, and the sol diers at whose head they walked, were pelted with stones amidst cries of " Riegofor ever!" The next day the Alcalde, who had so honourably done his duty on the 21st, was dismissed by the Mu nicipality from his emplpiment in the Secretary's Of fice, which he had filled for many years. This de serving individual has been deprived of his livelihood, as a recompence, we suppose, for his generous ad herence to the cause of the Public. An address is spoken of from the Municipality to' the Political Chief, on the 21st, in which, after com plaining of the Battalion of Artillery, they say, 4 , the contagion has spread to the Regiment of Zamora, which, till now, was distingiished for liberalism." It is said, too, that the Municipality tells the Poli tical Chief, that it cannot but resist the violences committed against the inhabitants of this capital— a language which is the more strange, as it is noto rious that no inhabitants have been ill-treated. The nocturnal meetings of the factious continue, to the great terror cf all honest people. A German Mail reached us this forenoon, Winging Frankfort Pipers to the sth inst. The following are the only extracts of importance they contain FROM THE DANUDF., MARCH 29. The Ministers of Great Britain and Austria, after receiving the Turkish Note of 9.Bth February, were induced to break off the negotiations with the Otto man Ministers, till they should receive further in structions from their respective Courts. VIENNA, MARCH 27. Yesterday the metalliques were at 74 ; the Bank shares at 6641-6th. VIENNA, MARCH es. Yesterday the metalliciues were at 7.1. 1 4, the Bank shares 665. We this day present our headers wit!, the conclu sion of the trial at Lancaster against the Manchester Yeomanry, for their conduct on the IGth of August, 1819, the proceedings of which have been regularly detailed in this Paper. This, our Readers are aware, was a civil action commenced by a person who had been injured at the Meeting. The trial occupied 'five days, and ninety witnesses were examined, among whom were several of the Magistrates. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendants. While we bow to the decision of a British Jury, we must con fess that nothing has arisen on this trial to shake out ceinviction as to the strict legality of that Meeting, or asto the wanton interference by which it was dispersed. —The most important point to prove on the part of the defendants was, the reading of the Mgt Act; and notwithstanding one witness swore to the fact, yet we confess ourselves still sceptical on the point ; and think that such a reading of the Act as is consonant to the spirit of the law which enjoins i shotld have been heard by more than one person. If it was not, it was, for all the purpose; for which the reading of the Riot Act is intended, that of warning the people to dis perse, of no more utility than if it had never been read at all. With these feelings we dismiss this sub ject ; and are far from envying the triumph which the defendants in such a cause have gained by their verdict. The ICING, who is at preser.t reported to be rheu matic, quits Brighton next week ; and report states, that it is not his MAJESTY'S intention to return for four months. He will, of course, resume the cus tomary Drawing-rooms and Leved, and afterwards adjourn to the Cottage in Windsor Great Park, there to resume his beloved privacy. The Duke and Duchess of ARGYLE arrived at the Star Inn, .Glasgow, on Thursday, on their way to InverarCastle. The Marquis of LANSDOWN left town yesterday for Paris ; the Marchioness and family left town this day, for their sear, Bowood Park, Watt. Yesterday afternoon, after two days poll, for the election of a Churchwarden feat.. Pure, Cevent-Garden, the numb e rs stood u fellow : Mr. YOCILVIT 900 ... Mr. WinsIESSISLD 164. Mr. TOMMY was of course declared duly elected. Mr. Tnzonons Roost has published a long letter in his defence upon the charges against him for his defalcation while in office in the Mauritius. The only true defence in cases of this kind is reimbursement. DRAIN-LANE THEATRE.— The School for Scandal was performed last night, in a manner deserving of that inimitable Comedy ; but we regret that our li mits afford no opportunity for description. The only fact which we have room to notice is the introduction of Miss GAIMANI, from the Bath Theatre, to the Lon don boards. Her performance was marked throughout by a just discrimination and a dignified deportmeste. t -:. ~ ... ~ A r4, - 4 . 1! .1 4 7r17. 7 1 1 77- . , • - r . • . . - • • . . TRE4RMY. • • • . . 71e.

The Roxby fox-hounds met on Wednesday last at Iloseberrv, and found a dog-fox, which they killed in fine style, after a run of three miles. At the moment they were brealing up tills fox, they were hallooed to anot het, which, after a sun of teu mil:; without a check, was likewise kill. ; but the pleasure of CA; chace was somewhat destroyed to the aponsmen, when thry found it to be a bitch fox, with eight young ones in h,r ; a num ber seldom heard of. They found again, and after a se-yen:l . lra of six miles, killed in a gallant style, their third fox—horres, hounds, and sportsmen. alike ready to retire to rest. it was tae best scenting day these hounds have had this season. ROCIIISTSR, Aran. 6.—Prior to Monday last, i: vtr: dustriously circulated, that Mr. Cost oars celcbrateo lack fox-hounds would, at six o'clock on that morning, Oda:: ;at Elms cover, in the neighbourhood of Upnor, and the ectsc quence was, that a very considerable number of the spartan:en in the county, including several Officers of the Col :btree.l Guards, met at the specified time; after waiting an hour or more, and no hounds making their appearance, it was suggested by one of the party, that it was the April, and titry im mediately supposed they bad beets hoaxed. However, not chusing to separate without some sport, a sweepstake was made by ten of the party, of five guineas each, fur a steeple-chase to Chalk, a distance of six miles, as the crow Hies. It was won in the most gallant style by C. W. lls aver, Esq. who rode his favou rite horse Rover, and did the'distauce in about 17 winutes. This Gentleman was offered, and refused on the field, 300 guineas for his horse. The race was admirably contested by H. Ts/eerie, F.s.q. on his well known hunter, Skint. Capt. Wool 1:r of the 71st, was thrown, but, we are happy to say, was not seriously hurt. FATAL BOXING. At Stepney Fair, on lo::clay, two rne.s of the names of G gory and Harrod had a quz:rrA, and they agreed to ilght the next day on a given spot in the fields by the Lea ricer. [[ere ttey met, and knocked each other ahout for more than two lt,crs.— Most injury was sustained by throwing, both being heavy men; at length Ilanwl, who works upon the river, could no: be gt up. He was conveyed to a cottage, and died in two hors fru:s the rupture of a 'oloul-vessel in the bead. SMOCK R tClt. Yesterday the road opposite the si „ td the Pindar of Wr.ke field, in Gray's Inn-road, was the whole day kept in die. graceful confusion, in consequence of a very fine frisk linco r4e mise having been announced to be run fur by three Cirdcre".:s, and the race was to be decided by three heats. I never, the sport was in acme degree frustrated by the unwelcome debut of the Officers belonging to Hatton-Garden o:fice, who had been ordered by the beak to prevent the Laci;s themselves. The prigs first attempted to capture tee pm:4 which was elegantly decorated with sky-blue ribbons; the Committee of Molls, under whose authority the fun took phsc, made a AO to bear off the issterstat garment in tri•Arph; and Mr. Smith, the dustman, accommodated the comp:Ai:ors . . in his held, at the back of his dwelling-house, by willch the traps were excluded partaking of the sport. After three well contested heats, the smock was won by Sell Chapman, of reissuing notoriety, and byprojession, a cinder-sifter. The mobi lity afterwards adjourned to the public-houses in the neighbour hood, and spent the day in lashing blue ruin, heavy, and all other kinds o' things. Tuesday evening, at Stepney Fair, a mechanic, about sixty years of age, who had imprudently ven tured into one of the swings, was thrown out and killed upon the spot. Yesterday morning a dreadful accident was dis covered to have happened in the house of Mr. BRAD FORD, No. 12, Bryanstone-street, Manchester-square, which involved the family in the greatest distress. It appears that Master EDWA RD PAGET BRADFORD came from boarding-school in the country on Saturday last, for the purpose of spending the holidays with his pa rents, and on Monday, atter passing the evening at home,, he retired to his chamber in his usual health and spirits. The following morning the servant pro ceeded to the apartment to call him to breakfast, but receiving no answer she made an alarm, and the young Gentleman was missing from his bed. Every search was made after him, and at length Fe was found in the front area quite dead, and dre.id fully injured, as if from a heavy fall. There was no accounting for the fatal occurrence. He was sixteen years of age. A Cmoner's Jury was called, and after hearing a mass of evidence, ' they returned a verdict of—" Accidentally killed by a fall." DIED.

PROM THE DUBLIN JOURNAL OF MONDAY. Monday, between twelve and one o'clock in the afternoon, seven men, well armed with carbines and, pistols, each having his face painted with raddle, *ad six out of the seven dressed in white flannel jackets, came across the country from the direction of Knock graffon, by Woodenstown, to Donegal, where they made inquiry if the tithe proctors or their agents had served any processes or citations at Michael Scanlon's, or at any other place in the parish ? Not finding the process-servers, they proceeded towards the glebe house of New Inn, where they searched the plantations for them, having been informed that they were out, and afterwards crossed the country in the direction of Garranlea. It appears that five large armed parties were seen in different directions on the roads, waiting to intercept any process-servers that might be en gaged on tithe business. The country must be in a poor state to repel illegal combinations, where such parties could remain under arms for several hours in the broad day, in open defiance of the laws. Six houses, the property of Thomas Jackscn, Esq. at Athlunkard, in the county of Clare, opposite the head of the canal, were maliciously consumed on .Sunday night. Two of the tenants were severely beaten. Mr. Jacksoa's Steward was also ill-treated, and his windows broken. Timothy Dwyer was tried at the Clonmel Assizes for forcibly carryirg away Honora Ryan, with intent that the should marry one James Coffey. (This is the young woman who was lately forcibly taken off the Limerick coach). Her evidence was entirely in favour of the prisoner, she giving it as her opinion that he accompanied the party rather to protect her than offer her any violence. The prisoner was acquitted. WIIITESOYS.—Patrick Coll, John Shea (half-bro thers),James Tuohill, and James Nash, were executed at Adare, is the county of Limerick, for taking arms from Mr. George Sparling's dwelling-house. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the thanks of the Court were unanimously voted to THOMAS REID, Esq. and Jamrs PATTISON, Esq. the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, for their zeal and attention to the Com pany's interest during the last year. Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East India House, for the election of six Directors in the room of R. c. Now.gx, Ess. Wm. STANLEY CLAIMS, Esq. JOHN lIVDLISTON, Esq. Join+ TMORNHILL, Esq. G. A.

We wish to call the attention of the country to a measure of the greatest importance, which is to be submitted to Parliament, by Mr. BEAUMONT, on the first of May next. If the reduction of taxation will afford relief to the country, the Leather Tax demands a primary consideration. During the period when the necessity of taxation was most urgent, dli repeal of this Tax, after having undergone the consideration of two Committees of the House of Commons, was rejected on the second reading, by the small ma jority of only six. The official accounts of the pro duce of the Leather Tax, lately laid before Parlia ment, shew, that before the additional Tar, the Leather trade increased with the population Of the country; and that, for the last nine years, ever since that Tax we, imposed, notwithstanding the popula tion has continued to iucrease, the Leather trade has gradually declined. The repeal of this Tax, it is said, will give more relief to the agricultural classes than any other tax which produces the same amount to the revenue, not only on account of so great a proportion of leather being used by them, but on ac count of the restrictions of the Excise upon the Lea ther trade, which, according to the evidence given before the abovementioned Committees, occasion an expense to the manufacturers of more than. the whole amount of the Tax, all of which, of course, must be paid for by the Public, and is a positive loss to the country of property to that amount. Surely, at times like these, such a tax ought to be repealed. It would not only relieve agriculture, but it appears. by the Resolutions of the London Tanners, lately published, that this measure is also necessary to relieve one of the oldest and most important staple manufactures of this country. —(See Reports of the Committees on the Leather Tax of the House of Commons of 1815, pages 26, 89, 47, and 49 ; and Report of 1816, page 188). Friday, twelve men were committed to Norwich Castle, charged with breaking a threshing-machine, on the premises of Mr. Roe, at Woodton. Six others were also charged with the same offence, but were admitted to bad. Two mom were admit ted as evi dence. On bringing the prisoners to Bungay last Thursday. for examination, a riot and attempt at rescue ensued on the part of a great concourse of peasantry, chiefly armed with bludgwns. Military assistance having, however, been obtained, the pri soners were secured. f~ srt, ~~ I , .1,- , I a !'‘‘; wi t I 1I • R. 4 , .? 1 k- 4r*. . ;•_s. f
