The South Sea Company will have a Meeting to4norroW, at twelve o'clock, on the propriety of theft bidding for the Army and Navy Pensions, as the above COnpany, at present, seems to be the only one anxious to under take it.

The House of Commons still continues occupied in debating on the Agricultural Report ;but notwith standing seven Members have brought forward seven distinct nostrums, yet the House seems equally re- 1 gardless of the whole of them, from a conviction of their inefficiency or their mischievous tendency. The consultation of the State Physicians, the Agricultural Committee, has been discordant, and led to no satis factory result. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY pro posed a nostrum, in which he declared he had no faith—which he opposed in the Committee, and aban doned in the House as soon as it met with opposition. Another State Physician, Mr. HUSK MON, who had refused to attend this Medical Board of Legislators, brings forward his prescription, as the true pabulum of life, and the only sovereign remedy for Glier Bid!. Five other practitioners, some of whom are scarcely acknowledged in the profession, have each a specific, which they very confidently advocate against all the rest ; but what is more remarkable is, that none of the operations proposed by these State Doctors can relieve the patient at present. Scripture says, " The whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick ;" but these men propose a medicine which is only applicable when the patient shall have recoverei, and this in order, we presume, to prevent a relapse. We are well aware what all the pantie. wish to be at; but happily, do not know how to go about it ; the .abject of all the Resolutions proposed (those of Colonel DA VI ES excepted) is to raise the price of grain to the consumer, and that once done, to take every step to prevent its becoming cheap again.— There is an old proverb, " that mischievous cattle have short horns;" and we cannot but rejoice when we see the mischievous ditposition of individuals counteracted by their incapacity to do harm. This, we trust, will still be the case in the present instance, arid that PROVIDENCE will continue its bounty and not visit she sins of their ungrateful Rulers upon the People. The French Papers of Monday last have reached us. The Constitutionnel contains part of the Provi sional Constitution of the Greeks, as published on the 13th of January. The first and second chapters de. I dare the religion of the State to be the orthodox re ligion of the Greek Church ; but all other religions are tolerated, and their ceremonies to be freely exer cised; every person professing the Christian religion is to enjoy the same political rights ; all the Greeks are equal in the eye of the law, without distinction of rank or dignity ; the property, honour, and safety of every citizen, shall be placed under the safeguard of the laws; every one is entitled to be chosen for offices of the State, merit alone deciding the preference. The Government is composed of two bodies, a Le gislative Senate and an Executive Council ; the two bodies to agree in the formation of the laws ; the Council may refuse its sanction to the laws adopted by the Senate, which may also reject the laws pro posed by the Council ; the Legislative Senate is com posed of Deputies, elected by the Provinces, Greeks, and not less than SO years of age ; the President and Vice-President to be elected annually by the Senate, which is also renewable every year. The Executive Council is composed of five members, chosen from the Legislative Body by an assembly formed for this purpose, agreeably to a special and particular law. This Pentarchy has also a President and Vice-Presi dent chosen from among the five members which coin pose it. It is this last body which nominates the Mi nisters, to the number of eight, for as many Depart ments. The functions of the Council are only to con. year. Then follows an account of the the Senate and Council, as fixed by the persons have been tried at Toulon on a charge Tracy against the Government. Among these formerly a Captain of the Imperial Guards, guilty of the plot ; and two, SALOMON and .1D ,were found guilty of making propositions into a conspiracy, whit* were not ac- • .- rt 'eeptecl ; bet the latter only 1104 w 6:00 of en against five of the Jury, and Cou coin ciding with the minority of the Airy, be was acquit ted. VALLS was condemned te•stdrer depth, and to be degraded from the Legion of Honour. - He imme diately swallowed the riband of his order. SALOMON was condemned to ten years' banishment. Sonie domi ciliary searches continue to be made by the Police of Paris, but they are stated to have led to no discovery. The Duchess of Arsassuz.zma is indisposed; the fol lowing is the bulletin of her health : " MAT f, Half•past Seven, A. N. " An increase of fever took place between four and live o'clock in the evening. Last night, however, has been passed with less agitation. Her Royal Highness slept till two o'clock. There is still sonic fever, but the perspiration b etnapkno. The . pain in the head is diminished. There is no kap* inielbelle. (Signed) " LUCAS" • BANKS OF THE DANUBE, APRIL 24. Mercantile letters from the Levant agree in an nouncing the renewal of hostilities between the Per. sian corps of the Province of Bussora and the troops of the Pacha of Bagdad. According to the same let ters, great events are expected in Armenia. A Persian army was on its march against that Province. It is said that the Greek flotilla of observation at the Dardanelles has returned to Hydra in order to reinforce itself, and attack the Turks in the waters ofi the lonian Islands. French Funds, May 6. Eire per Cents. 88 F. 20 c. It is reported in Paris, that the Turkish Govern ment has decided on sending a Plenipotentiary to an approaching Congress, to be held for settling the affairs of Europe. The place of meeting is said to be Florence, and that the commencement of the deli berations will not be deferred beyond the end of June. At a late hour this forenoon we received a Flanders Mail, bringing Brussels Papers to the 7,h instant. The following are extracts : VIENNA, APRIL 27. A report is in circulation here that one of 01.7 Arch dukes will very soon set out for London, charged with a mission of the highest importance, which is supposed to be relative to the negotiations that have taken place bet Ween Prince Metteinich and General Tatischeff. It is said that the object in view is to arrange with the English Government the ba'es of a treaty, in case the Ottoman Porte should persist in its refusal to accede to the terms of the Russian ulti matum. Letters from Bucharest, of the 10th inst. mention that seven Boyars have been taken to Silistria, whence they are to be sent to Constantinople. Those who remain are strictly watched, and cannot escape; they are, in consequence, in great alarm. The Turks have already been going to burn Krajoua, but the Kiaja Bey has hitherto prevented them. - The Iletarists who have taken refuge in Bessarabia to the amount of about 7,000, are said to have been taken into Russian pay, and form part of the corps of, Wittgenstein : they have retained their black uni form;with the death's head, and wear long beards. It is generally affirmed in this capital that our Go vernment, which has so much at heart the preserva tion of peace, has succeeded, though not without difficulty, in prevailing on the Court of Russia to delay taking a decisive resolution, and to wait for the result of the new negotiations which M. Lutzow is to carry on with the Reis Effendi, according to in structions that have been sent him. The last dispatches from Count Lebezeltern, our Envoy at St. Petersburgh, bring the result of his communications with• Count Nesselrode, after which the Russian Cabinet had resolved to wait the return of M. de Tatischeff, who left this city two days ago. He was •acquainted with tke last instructions sent to Count Lutzow, and approved of them. Fresh steps will be taken, and new proposals made, at Constan tinople, to the Divan, by the .Austrian Ambassador, in concert with the Russian Government; and there is no doubt that the Ministers of Fiance, England, and Prussia, will strongly support these proposals : at least, war will not be begun by Russia till the issue of these negotiations is known to the several Courts.

By a vessel which put into Cork, letters dated the 23d of February, have been received from Bahia.— This province, it appears, like the rest of the Brazils, has been the scene of conflicts between the Euro pean and the native troops ; 'but which seem to have arisen in this instance out of the natural hos tility between them, rather than from political causes. A corps of Brazilians, occupying the Castle of St. Pedro, are said to have fired upon the Portuguese, who, exasperated at the outrage, attacked and car ried the fortress, which commands the whole of the town, and the possession of which they retained when the accounts came away. No statement is made of the loss of lives in the different encounters, but it must have been considerable. There was, we under stand, no further ill consequences apprehended from the occupation of the Castle of St. Pedro by the Portu guese troops, as their number was very small compared with that of the Brazilians, and it would not be diffi cult, therefore, if rendered necessary, to starve them into a surrender.

Clievrrtstitsr— A cause having been recently determined in the Court of Exchequer in favour of the Crown, wherein a quantity of Russia hides had been entered as tanned or coloured for the duty of Is. :Id. per pound, and had been seized for having been entered under a wrong denomination, upon the ground that the hides having been shaved and perched after they had been tanned or coloured, they should have been entered as dressed Muscovy or Russia hides, and were liable as such to a duty of £7,1 per cent. ad valorem, by which it is decided that Russia hides which have undergone the process of shaving •:ftcr haviug been tanned or coloured, are liable to the duty of £73 per cent. ad valorem ; we hereby communicate the same to you for the information of yourselves and the proper officers at your port, and direct you to govern yourselves accordingly.

The Annual Meeting of the Sunday School Union Society was held yesterday at the City of Landon 'Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. The company assembled to breakfast between five and six o'clock in the morn ing, and the Chair was taken at half-past six. About 1000 persons were present. The total of Sunday scholars, reported in London and Ls vicinity, was 52,549 children and 478 adults, taught by 4,870 gratuitous 'teachers, being an increase of 3,687 scholars in the past year. Several new Sunday School Unions had been formed during the last year. In three Counties in Wales, there was a total of Sunday scholars, including children and adults, amounting to one-fifth of the population. The Report exhibited a total of upwards of 600,000 Sunday scholars in Great Britain and Ireland, in addition to which there were many places from which no returns had been communicated. The Report met with great applause, and the Rev. Messrs. WI NTER , SCOT; and several other Gentlemen addressed the Meeting in eloquent speeches, when the Meeting broke up, and a liberal subscription was made at•the doors. A few days ago a fatal acddent occurred at MINIM 4iee of the pits belonging to E. MUITDY, Esq.

Several swallows have been seen in the neighboJr• hood of Newcastle, during the last week. The following paragraph, being an extract of a letter from a G3atleman at Batavia to his friends the neighbourhood of Perth, dated December 24, 1821, relates to a sceptical subject in natural history : " Yesterday, at the Governor's house. where I Wai dining, saw and touched—a Mermaid !—half human—half fish—the features by no means handsome—but very perfect—the arm', &c. also so—it was brought here a few days ago from Japan—it is about three feet and a half in length, and the head is one-fifth of the body—otherwise exactly as you see them represented is pictures."

Honest George, in audi tion to his usual avocation of repairing " leathern lungs," united the occupations of umbrella-mender, bell-man, bill-sticker, and sheriff's officer ; but had, in consequence of a lucky windfall, fur some time bid adieu to the noise of the busy world, and enjoyed the otium cum dignitate in the classic retirement of an obscure court in Scotch-street. George's second rib (for the present is his third), and who, by a singular coincidence had but one leg, some short time ago bade the disconsolate huhand an eternal adieu ; under this affliction, and on the very evening of commit ting the " dear remains" to the tomb, the new courtship com menced, which happily terminated by tying the nuptial knot on that day six weeks. The procession to and from church was hailed with the acclamations of assembled hundreds. The wed dingers, and a mixed party of the sons of frolic kept it up during the day, and many a bumper passed round to the health of the venerable bridegroom and his buxom spouse. DIED.
