The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed a g e ,,,iution for extending the time of issuing small Bank Notes wend the time provided by existing Acts. )Ir. RICARDO wished to know if the Bank of England was t , he allowed to issue Al notes? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, cer viol, if the Directors thought tit ; and the country bankers wo uld he at liberty to pay in these notes or in current coin. Mr. 11. GURNEY asked for what time this privilege was to ZK g i v en to the Bank ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, for the wo n of their Matter to 1853, and to be imperative on them to pay in specie, if required. Nr. H. GURNEY asked if this would not interfere with t he Act of 1819? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, certainly ; it was never intended by that act to force a metallic circu- Ltion on the Public. Mr. GURNEY thought this arrangement would place the funk in an awkward situation, as an unexpected run might be l ode on the Hank beyond what they would anticipate or be pre rare.l for. The house with which he was connected had in one eek been called on to pay, and had paid, 160,000 guineas in gold. Air. RICARDO was of the same opinion. He thought it would he better to oblige the Country Bankers to pay in specie. Ile feared the popple out of doors would say this was a repeal of e.e Act of 1819. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, at pre tent the Bank of England issued no one pound notes, nor did he know that they would do so ; therefore they would experience rw inconvenience. After a few words from Mr. RICARDO, Mr. Patsies, and others. the Resolution was agreed to, and a Bill ordered. The other Orders were thun disposed of, and the House. ad creed at Half-past One. fli E r.VENLNt STAR. LONDON. FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1522. THE FUNDS. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank discounting at four per cent. has caused a great deal_ cf husiness in the market this morning. Consols opened at 81‘, sod, up to this hour, remain steady at the above price; Reduced s,,i 1. The Public in general give much praise to the Bank for th.:ir impartial conduct yesterday—not even a message was sent to the Stock Exchange on the business, therefore no advantage could be taken in the market. The following is the important Resolution of the Bank re garding the discounting of Bills at four per cent. which was Fonnilgated yesterday afternoon : " Bank of England, June 20, 1822. " Resolved, That Bills and Notes approved in the usual-man ner, and not having mote than 9.5 days to run, be discounted at the rate of four per cent. on and after the 21st June, 1822." Tlw consequence of this decision of the Bank Directors was 21 immediate rise of one per cent. in the Funds. The moment ;:a.; rise took place, the Jew patty sold largely; to get out of T:wir Bull Account. l'oaitox FUNDS.—This market is all alive this morning, in c•nsequence of the operation of the Bank, and a great deal of hciness doing.

Within the last hour the Jews have been selling, but without the least effect upon the Market. Consols are 81i for the •Ac tount, and Reduced 801. FOREIGN M*RKET.—There is quite a panic here in Spanish Bonds, which have fallen from Gila to 61i. There appears some alarm among the. holders of foreign Stuck within the last hour, sad the prices are nearly nominal. The Bankers have had a private Meeting to-day, and are un- Lrstkiod to have come to the determination of discounting at 4 rer cent: PRICES OF STOCKS AT ONE 0 CLOCK.

An American China man, arrived off the Start, reports that the sum paid is more than half a million of dollars, which, with the demurage for the delay of thirteen Indiamen, renders the day's sport of the boat's crew of the TOPAZE to lerably expensive to the Honourable Company. Last night the Marriage Amendment Act was again brought before the House of Lords, when Lord IlenesnaLE proposed some most important and salu tary clauses to be added to the Bill, and which, in deed, are worth all the rest. The effect of these will be, to prevent the possibility of any marriage, solem nized by the consent of the parties, being rendered null and void, even should the parties be married under false names ; but in the latter case an adequate puniJiment is to be inflicted on the party committing t'‘e fraud, while the marriage remains indissoluble. lz:hoever has been in the habit of witnessing the pro ceedings in our Ecclesiastical Courts, in suits insti tlted for nullity of marriages, and recollects the 'cruel decisions which the Judges were compelled by law to g ive—decisions which broke asunder the tenderest ties of affection, which reduced many virtuous females to a state of want, and brought degradation and infamy on innocent children, the marriage of whose parents was declared illegal ; whoever recollects these things, must rejoice at this v , rrectiots of the law, by which alPmarriages here after are to be indissoluble. But the evil which arose from the frequent dissolution of marriages was not confined to indiviivals—its influence was felt through out society, in the corruption of morals and the in security of property. This leads us to make a re- mart or tiro on the dissolutions which bay, taken place by sptciti Acts of-Parliament, in cases.Otacinl tery on the part of 6e . sbaha :Vitt iloto diat through ihefadility of Obtiltiidg• diratte 9 s 7. iti thlj way, there preiailed at orie tinte;'-ti- this coutary,•• most disgraceful system of proffigapy and collision. Husbands who • disliked their wives,; and Wanted. to get new ones, threw.them- in ;lie. way of seductions and then, after •going through all the regular pro cesses of law against the•adtilterers; obtained their' Bills sof Divorce to enable them to marry again.-- And,there have even been instances where husbands and wives, mutually disliking each other, and wishing for new partners, have contrived, by tacit agreenient, and the intervention of proper agents, to manage mat., ters so, that sufficient grounds were laid before Parlia. ment for the passing of the Bills that were to product the wished-for separation and the new marriages.— Above twenty years ago, this corruption of morals was openly complained of in the House of Loris; and new regulations were adopted to check the facility of divorces. But, in our opinion, the only effectual re gulation would have been, a determination to make Divorces extremely difficult to obtain. Had this been done, we should not have witnessed one-tenth of the shameful trials that have polluted our Courts• of Justice ; and husbands and wives would feel it neces sary to live on better terms with each other than they have done. This forenoon we received a Dutch Mail, bringing Papers to the 20th inst. The following are extracts: SALONICHI, MAY 6. Our Governor, intoxicated with the success of his massacres, has declared that the Sultan, by whose orders he acted, was firmly resolved not to suffer for the future any Christians to exist in any part of Eu ropean Turkey. In consequence it is proLibited to fill up the vacant bishoprics, and the churches are destroyed in proportion as he, can advance into the country. Every kind of commerc( has ceased here ; the fertile plains of Seres are changed into a desert; the cultivation of tobacco in the Erridge is abandoned ; and all the Greeks, Bulgarians, and other Christians have taken up arms either to conquer or die. FRANKFORT, JUNE 13. The Turkish Government, according to the latest accounts from Greece, appears to intend a general attack on the insurgents. They have the least to fear on the west side, for as long as the Pacha of Scutari can resist the Porte, which he still does with success, and Chourschid Pacha is reduced to inactivity, by the defection of the Albanians, who refuse to take the ' field against the Greeks, no sufficient force can as semble on that side; however, the repeated demands of reinforcements made by the Pacha of Salonichi have not been in vain. A considerable division of Asiatics, on whose fidelity the Porte can depend, but who have committed the most dreadful excesses on their march, has enabled the Pacha not only to se cure his city from the farther attempts of the Mace donians, but also to drive away the Greeks from the country twenty leagues round. The • accounts from Seres, of the 18th May, give a terrible picture of the cruelties committed by the Turks at Agosta : above 3,000 children have been carried off from that place and the neighbourhood, to be brought up in the Mahometan religion. The accounts from Seres say also, that the Pacha was uniting his forces at Vet ia, in order to re-establish his communication with Chourschid Pacha, and to act in common against the Peloponnesus, which will be the less difficult, as Larissa is still in the possession of the Turks. The Greeks, sensible of the fate that awaits them if they submit, prepare to make the most obstinate resistance. Those of Macedonia have already retired into the defiles of Mount Olympus. The famous Odysseus, who commands in Thessaly, had addressed his brethren in arms, and acquainted them with the critical state of affairs. All are looking to the future with great uneasiness. Accounts from Italy, of the beginning of June, say that the Pacha of Scutari has concluded an alliance with the Montenegrins, the object of which is, not to allow any Turkish troops to enter the Northern part of Albania. This Pacha, who has been declared a rebel to the Porte, having to fight for•his life, takes advantage of the present favourable opportunity to organize a con siderable force, with which he proposes to make a vigorous resistance, if he should be attacked. A very remarkable circumstance is, that the Pacha of Scu tari has considerable sums at his disposal, vibich he draws from abroad. This proves that he is supported by some foreign Power, but the source from which he derives this money can only be conjectured. • HAGUE, JUNE 19. Yesterday, the infant son of his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange was solemnly baptized, in the • new Church at Amsterdam. The Second Chamber of the States• General meets to-day, to deliberate on the important Message of his Majesty, relative to the Finances. The French Newspapers of Tuesday are barren of intelligence. The Chamber of Deputies assembled on the preceding day, to appoint the Committee for examining the preparatory law on the Finances. The Ultra Journals are still filled with accounts of insur rections in Spain, on which no reliance whatever can be. placed. By the intelligence from the Turkish , frontier, . it would seem that the entire evacuation of 7 7 pacific Jptror, and • 11 to send 9 Minister to arrange definitively,, in case of the compliance or ?Sisal of the Porte.

The evacuation of Wallachia and Moldavia is not 'yet terminated. They were the only Asiatics who left Bucharest, and even these are gone to fortify Brailow. The Ottoman garrison was still there yes terday ; and it was rumoured at Jassy that new troops were arriving. A. letter from Krajova of the 25th says, that the Asiatics who bad left that town, re turned with reinforceents, and declare that they will not depart, until they can come to close quarters with the Russians. The Turks have, it is said, given up to the Jews for a year the use of the property of the Boyards and of the Church. FRANKFORT, JUNE 15. Gold is much sought in our market for England, in order to pay part of the loan negotiated there by Mr. Rothschild for Russia. All the public funds rise, particularly those of Austria. FRENCH FUNDS, JUNE 18.—Pive per Cents. opened at 91f. highest 91f. 10c. closed at 90f. 90c. Extract of a letter from Paris, dated Monday night: . g , The news ieceivcd this morning, relative to Slain, are very alarming ; the war with that country appears almost certain ; it is also reported on 'Change that the Portuguese have sent 12,000 men, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, to join tke.Spa niards. A great number of troops, from varloirs parts of F rance, . are in movement for that point; and Marshal Suchet is spoken of as Commander-in-Chief of the army." Brussels Papers to the 18th instant have been re ceived. One of them contains a very marvelhius statement, on the, authority of letters from Italy being no less than " that in the Congress which is to be held at Florence in the month of September this year, it will be proposed to introduce Constitutional lot n'is of Government into several States of Italy."— Constitutional Governments, emanating from the Holy Alliance Junto, is the only thing wanting to complete the wonders of this wonderful age. In con sequence of the deficiency in the revenue, the King of the NETIIERLANDS proposes to the States-General 'to add a capital sum of 57,500,000 florins to the Debt, which will produce an additional annual bur den of 1,725,000 florins. An article from Schaffhausen states that the Court of Baden has communicated to the Confederation the measures already adopted in part, by way of reprisal against France, on account of her prohibitory system. The question, whether similar measures would be advantageous to Switzerland ? will be discussed in the next Diet. Last night, the KING gave a Ball to the juvenile branches of the Nobility, &c. The Marquis and Marchioness of LANSDOWN gave a most elegant entertainment, on Wednesday, to the Doke of GLOUCESTER, the Duke and Duchess of SO MERSET, Countess GROSVENOR, Lord EnsKnis, Lord and Lady OssuLSTON, Colonel CURREY, &C. &c. at Lansdown House, Berkeley-square. The Dowager Countess of CLONMELL gave a grand entertainment on Wednesday, at her Ladyship's splendid residence, in Portman-square. Wednesday night, a select party of the Fashionable World assembled at Miss BLAKES, in Henrietta-street, Cavendish-square, being this Lady's first party. The American Ambassador and many foreigners of dis tinction were present. Mr. and the Misses BENYON had a numerous and elegant party, last night, in St. James's-place. The Hon. THOMAS GRENVILLE gave an elegant entertainment, yesterday, to the Duke of BUCKING HAM, Lord and Lady GRENVILLE, and a large party, at his houee in Cleveland-row. The Battle of Waterloo, and consummation of Eng land's Glory and Europe's Deliverance, was celebrated. at the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall, on Wednesday night, by additional attractions and entertainments of the most apps opriate and splendid description. The even ing was delightfully fine, and the company numerous, _elegant, and select. Her Grace the Duchess of NEWCASTLE is recover ing from her late severe indisposition, which pro ceeded from a severe cold.

Urns Wanninavon !—Yesterday Dr. WATSON appeared at the Judge's Chambers with two persons, to enter into sureties for the appearance of this Radical Hero, to take hit trial. The parties were Tsai WADI, a shoemaker, and Taos. BORMAN, boot.claier, who were accepted; but in consequence of the Al dermen being chiefly out of town at an Anniversary Dinner, the prisoner was not liberated. This day he was taken from New gate to the Crownwpffice to strike his Jury, when he was taken, by order of the Judge's Clerk (Mr. DIALTILY), to Westminster, to enter into his own recognisance, and to be discharged in Court from custody. A country Paper mentions that a person was litely killed by lightning, attracted, as it is supposed, by the muesli,* his pockets.' This is certainly the most conclusive argument that has yet been adduced to prove the superiority:nipper ! It is gratifying to understand that the carpet, tartan, and rug manufacturers in Bannockburn, are at present in a flourishing state.

The new bridge is to be erected u near as possible to, and not exceeding 170 feet from the west side of the present bridge, and to afford a clear water-way of not leu than ao feet. It is to be faced with granite, and to consist of five arches; the centre arch to rise 23 feet above high water mark of an average spring tide, according to the Trinity Mouse standard, which is shewn upon the face of the present bridge. Proper stairs of granite are to be provided. The acclivity of the road way, to' and over the bridge is not to be steeper than one foot in 26 lett. In the instructions for the engineers, architects, and others, who propose to furnish the Committee for letting the Bridge House estates, with designs or models and estimates for the erection of the new bridge, a desire is expressed that the bridge should be worthy of the metropolis and the present cultivated state of science; due regard being had at the same time to eco nomy, and to the convenience of the traffic over and under the bridge, during the progress and after the completion of the works. A desire is also expressed that as little sacrifice be made of the property at both ends of the bridge, for the formation of the necessary approaches, as is consistent with the character of so important an entrance to the City of London. Accounts from the Cape of Good Hope, state there has not been ram there for these two years ! Extract of a letter from Sierra Leone, dated Feb. 26 :—" The French brig of war L'Huron is arrived in the harbour of Freetown, from a cruise to the lee ward: she proceeded down the coast as far as Grand 'Bassi', and fell in with and boarded several slave ships, under the French flag, but did not seize or de tain Any of them. We did entertain a hope, that the arrival of a French vessel of war on this part of the coast would rid us of slave vessels under the flag of his Most Christian Majesty; bin it appears that the visit of L'Huron served but to give increased con::- dence and audacity to the French slave traders. It is a fact, that a few days since a large slave ship of that nation was examined by his Majesty's brig THISTLE, almost within cannon-shot of the Islands de Los- ; and twat a schooner from Goree is at this moment in the Rio Pongas, trading inhuman beings. The frank avowal of the Captain of L'Huron, that he had met with four vessels of his own nation, fitted for slaves, at Cape. Mount, but his instructions did not authorise him to detain them, fully exculpates that Officer, and the blame must be attached to another quarter." Saturday last the President and Council and Visi tors of the Royal Observatory, held their Annual Visitation of that useful Public Establishment, at Greenwich, and after inspecting the magnificent in struments placed under the direction of the Astrono mer Royal, dined together at the Crown and Sceptre. The President of the Royal Society, Sir H. DAVY, was in the Chair.

Amongst the toasts given by the President, and drank with much enthusiasm, were—The KING, the Patron of the Royal Society ; his Royal Highness the Prince of Ds NMARK ; Lord MELVILLE, and the Admiralty; the Astronomer Royal; Sir WILLIAM HERSCHELL ; and the President, and the Royal So ciety, were given by his Royal Highness the Prince of L l2 t E n t4 i al gh A t, RK' at eleven o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Elm, a skin and !Ulf dyer, in St. John's.street, in Clerken well.
