From its great length, extending to no less than twenty-seven folio pages, it is impossible to lay the whole of it verbatim before our Readers; but we have made such ample and connected extracts from it as will shew sufficiently the general line of reason ing pursued in it, and the conclusions which it re commends. It appears to us to be drawn up with great judgment, aad to rest upon sterling principles. It acknov.iedges that there is, unfortunately, cause for the complaints of the Agriculturists, 'whilst it expresses a hope that tie distress is of a temporary nature. It ascribes the low prices to two causes— the change u hich has taken place in our money sys tem, and the productiveness of the two last harvests. The idea that taxation is the cause of the existing difficulties is wholly discountenanced. It is suggested a. a matter bight) , deserving of future consideration, and a proclamation was issued, announcing that the Greeks might return to their homes and avocations, and that, instead of being molested in future, they might depend on receiving the protection of the Turkish Government. whether a trade in Corn, constantly open to all national of the world, and subject only to such a died duty as might compensate to the grower the loss of that cacouiagement which he received during the la•e war, from the obstacles thrown in the way of free importation, and thereby protect the capitals now vested in Agriculture fiom an unequal competition in the home market—is not, as a permanent system, preferable to that state of law by which the Coin Trade is now regulated. Yesterday afternoon, at six o'clock, the Duke of YORK arrived in town from Oatlands. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Princess AUGUSTA la - ft town yesterday morning for Rich mond, where they spent the day with the Dowager Countess of CARDIGAN, and in the evening returned to London. Yesterday the Duke of CLARENCE dined with Mr. and Mrs. SMITH, in New Norfolk-street. The Duchess of CLARENCE spent yesterday with the Duchess of KENT, at her apartments in the KING's Palace at Kensington. The Earl and Countess of LONSDALE gave an ele gant entertainment on Thursday, to— Lord Chief Justice Abbott, the Solicitor-General, Lord A. lenborough, Lord Sidmouth, Lady F. Bentinck, Mr. and Lady Anne Begot, Miss Addington, Sir Philip Musgrave, Ban. Sir John Sewell, Bart., &c.'at their house in Charles.street, Berkeley-square. Instead of a Concert of Vocal and Instrumental Music, his Grace the Duke of DEVONSHIRE gave a Quadrille-dance to the juneviles, and a Conversazione to the adults, on Thursday evening :—The first danced in the Great Hall, now called the Saloon, whilst the others promenaded through the rooms of State, the fifteen apartments being thrown open. Devonshire House never before exhibited such a bustling scene. The interior was filled by a Thousand Fashmuddes, for every space was occupied. Many a delightful squeeze, and not a few oppressed almost to fainting by the heat of many thousand wax-lights. The danc ing was led off by the Duke of DevoNsttiaa and a beautiful unknown Female. About tour sets dis played the most elegant figures, and added to the captivation of the scene. There was a Sandwich supper, with fruits, ices, confectionery, and Wines. The Noble Host quitted the party at an early hour, (two o'clock), and retired to rest; but the visitants did not think of departing until a quarter before five in the morning, and then they separated reluctantly. Whilst all was harmony within, without was a scene ! of riot and confusion. The Court-yard was filled by the rival heroes of the whip, contending for precedence: From this improper conduct, one of the coach-horses of Mr. BUTLER Dawvens was killed, the poor animal, bt;ing driven upon the spikes at the Eastern-gate.— Happily the Ladies in the cart iages sustained no injury.j Escrasu Ormia-irovsx.—The Melo-Drama of The Mind Buy was performed last night. Miss Km ix, as the sightless hero of the piece, was, as usual, eminently interesting ; her efforts awoke the warmest sympathies, and called forth thunders of ap plause. T. P. Cooxe sustained the part of .Aixfig with great ability, and the vocal talent of PEA lIMAN, and the dry humour of WHALvisov, were most happily pressed into the service. Ro nne was the second piece, which afforded a Miss SEYMOUR, a new songstress, an opportunity of greatly distinguishing herself as Rosins she was repeatedly . encored. A Mr. Ilawasn was very well received in Captain Matte, and Mr. Pea RMAN, as Mr. Alva., and Miss Kete.y, as Plicr6e, exerted themselves with the happiest effect. The entertainments of the evening closed with the lively farce of For and Water, in which our old favourite, Wnesen, g .ve appropriate importance to the whim sical calamith s of Frederick, and reaped a plentiful harvest et bug, rer and fervent approbation. VacinAt.L.- The attendance at these Gardens on 'Wednesday considering the entavouralle aspect of the evening, was rather numerous. 'I hey were splendidly illuminated. During the concert many of the songs were encored, and all were much ap plauded. The fire-works were very beautiful. An eruption of Mount Vesuvius, in particular, bad a most imposing effecte- 1 'the Gardens were last night thronged. FATAL RESULT OF rue RIOT IN WESTMINSTER.-- Yesterday afternoon, William Cogle, the iinfOrtunatel Individual who was so dangerously wounded on Mon day evening, during the disturbance in the Almonry and Tothill:street, with the soldiers, died in the West minster Infirmary. From the period o his being' conveyed into the hospital, nut the slightest hopes were entertained for his recovery by Mr. STEVENSON, the house surgeon, Mr. WnITE, and other medical gentlemen. mho have been in constant attendance , upon hum 'tinting tl:e whole time, and tr,ed their ut most endeavours to preset ye his life without effect. The skull of the poor man was so dreadfully injured,' that while dressing the head, several pieces of bone we:e taken away from it. MT. It AINSFORD, the Ma gistrate belonging to Queen.squale Office, very hu manely sent repeatedly to the hospital to ascertain the situation of the deceased, and the last inquiry was only a few limns before he expired. The body now lies for the decision of a Coroner's Inquest, which it is expected will take place this evening. Five of the riotous persons who were apprehended by the officers during the affray, and a drumn.er, remain inTothill fields prison. ' Mr. Thome the celebrated Blacking Manufacturer of Lon. don, has arri ved in this town, on his usual round, in a machine hitherto, unknown in the annals of travelling. It is a four. wheeled carriage (invented by a Mr. Joussos) which, though as neat and easy as a phaeton or curricle, from having no iron springs, avoids the duty on spring carriages, by coming under the appellation of a "stage-waggon," and as such is regularly licensed at Somerset-Douse. The wheels are extremely neatand light, with patent axletrees, and stand upright, by which a con siderable degree of friction is avoided. The aaktrees are iron: from the hinder one, near the wheel, on each side, is fixed a bar of laneewuod; these meet on the centre of the fore axletree, and serve at once for connecting pole and springs, the body of the carriage being poised in the middle of them. The front axle tree turns on a small citculat plate, and is neat and secure, though , entirely without the framework in the front of curricles and other carriages. The shafts, which are of the eabriole con . . . . . In suggesting, however, this change of system for further consideration, as a possible improvement of, the Coin Ltws, at some future time, the Committee state, that they are hilly aware of the unfitness of the present moment for attempting such a change, when a great accumulation has taken place in* the shipping ports on the Continent, and in the ware hoims for f 'reign coin in this country. The Report is said to have been drawn up by Messrs. HUSICISSON and Ricanuo. The Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday ar rived this forenoon. The King of NAPLES, by a Decree of the 30th of . May, has granted a full and entire amnesty to those who, since the Bth of July, 1320, till and including the 2•lth of March last, have enrolled themselves as members of secret and prohibited Societies, or who .have taken part in poli tical events; excepting always (a strange exception) individuals comprehended in the number of conspira tors. The corps of Austrians sent into Sicily, is under the command ofGeneral WALNIODEN. It is stated, that immediately on their embarking at Naple , an Eng: lish sloop, which had been observing the movements of the expeditionary squadron at a distance, came into port as soon as it had sit sail, and after deliver- Ja g a dispatch to the British Ambassador, departed instantly. The circumstance had given rise to ami her of conjectures. An idle report was in circula tion at Naples, that the British had seized on Messina. A long article is quoted from the Austrian Observer, in which there is an attempt to give a connected view cf the relations between the various rebellions which have broken out in the Turkish dominions. From this it would seem, that the enterprize of the Greeks, properly so called, is confined to the Peloponnesus and the Isles of the Archipelago, but that there it has every chance of being triumphant. The revolution is said to have been prepared by the Ileterists, a sect analogous to the Carboriari of Italy. The enti ance of the Tw ks into Bucharest is con firmed; but the only thing certain with respect to YPSILANTI is, that he is still to take. Some ac counts represent him as daily increasing in force, and others as quite deserted. _ _ French Five per Cents.

There has been a farther arrival in town of letters But the greatest novelty and advantage (if, indeed, so ingenious from Consta - atinople, to the Jlth ultimo. One letter an evasion of the duty be not of tantamount importance) is the manner by which the horse, should he be restive or run off, may be s ays—u Strange reports are current respecting Yest- instantly detached from the carriage by a simple operation of the LAN r 1 and the number of his followers, but we pay driver.

COURT OF CLAIMS. • Yesterday, at one o'clock, this Court assembled as adjourned front Saturday last; and amongst the members were the Earl of liaattowsy (as President), their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Caaaxxes and Gaouersrea, the Duke of Moteransa, Marquis CAUDIN, the Earl of IONOUGHINORI4 Lords ilanamr, Assai&ar, and C. BICNTINCIL ; Sir W. Scow, Sir J. Menu., the Earl of Cnicuerma, Lord ST. lIELIC4S, Lord Itax)ESDALS, and hlr. S. Booms& The first proceeding was upon a Petition from the Barons of Dover Castle, who complained that an undue election bad been obtained in favour of Mr. Bootle Wilbraham and Mr. Latham, to attend the ensuing Coronation, inasmuch as the election bad taken place with closed doors. This claim consisted in the al leged right to carry the state canopy, to be sustained in proca sion over his Majesty on the day of the Coronation. It was, finally, the opinion of the Court, that they could not interfere in a question of corporate rights. The Marquis (Earl) of Ormond pursued his claim to officiate at the Coronation as Chief Butler for that part of the United Kingdom called Ireland. It was understood that a counter claim was preferred by the Marquis Cornwallis, but rejected by the Court. Lord Petre next claimed the office of napperer at the Corona tion of his Majesty the King, by virtue of the tenure of the' Manor of Ashby, in the County of Norfolk. The regular Clerk of the Rolls produced a copy of the origi nal grant ; but it was opined by the Court that the present claim had devolved to the Crown, which consequently was enti tled to issue a new service. It was stated that no other business was before 'the Court, when the Court observed, that it would be necessary to air, after the solemnity of the Coronation, in order to receive and verify the-claimants for perquisites of service. W. Butt, Esq. (Deputy Sterjeant at Arms) then made procla mation to the effect that the Court was adjourned, and that due notice would hereafter be given of the time of its re-assembling. The rumour that her Majesty meant to prefer some-strA:efineti claim, caused a• number of persons to come into Court at an early hour, but nothing of that description took place. TilE ARMY. The Yeomanry Cavalry of the County of Bedford, commanded by Lieutenant-Culonel Ahem:tea, were lately inspected by the Loan Itzuvreexr, and, as well as the Militia, were warmly and justly complimented by the Reviewleg Officer. They afterwards joined with the Militia in giving a Ball to the Ladies and Gen tlemen of the town and county. Four companies of the 44, of Queen's Regiment of Infantry, marched into Brighton on Wednesday, from Winchester, to replace the 85th; the last division of which left Brighton on Tuesday morning for Portsmouth, where they are to embark en board transports for Malta. The Leicestershire Regiment of Militia completed their annual 'duty at Leicester, on Monday. Sunday, the SOci Regiment sailed from Liverpool for Ireland; the men appeared to be in high spirits% Tbat superbly appointed Regiment, the 9th Lancers, tinder , the command et lieutenant-Colonel Montano, will arrive in Canterbury oil the g4th of July next, to replace the 9th Light Diagoons, destined for Bombay. 1 TINI ILTOT4, J I'NF. 16.—ThutFay, three Troops of Yeemanry rev:, of the Cpper Ward of Lanarkshire, under the cow mend of Major Sir CHARLES DONALD LOCCIIART, Bart. of Lee and Carnwath, were reviewed on Lanark Moor, 'by Colo nel i•:Lrlot LOCICHAILT, of Cleghorn, at the termination or their annual period fur treinicg and exercising at Lanark. An im mense crowd of spectators was assembled, which the novelty of the scene attracted to the spot. The troops performed their va rious evolutions with a degree of pr i ecision which would have dune credit to an old establidaed Corps. Their equipments, and the good condition of the horses, did them also infinite cr:.dit. After the Review, the Officers sabseribed three handsome purses, to be run for by the privates of the three Troops who chose to compete, when three well-contested races followed, af fording excellent spun : Ist, won by Mt. Trinatsoe, of Captain LOCCUART ' II Troop. ed, Mr. *11:011 KING, of Captain Rosettesoe's Troop. 3d, Mr. Titus. STLWAKT, of C-ptain VERT'S Troop., After the Troop Races were over, the winning horses ran ancther match for a handsome Silver Cup, best of three heats, which was given on the ground by the Officers. This race was welt contested, and gained in grand style by Mr. Srevemer's bay mare, of Capt. Vanes troop.—The beaten horses were after wards started for another subscriptinu purse, given also by the • Officers. This race was well contested, and afforded better sport, if possible, than the former. Thereafter, the whole of the Officers started for a private Sweepstakes,when Lieut. Has , oenson of Capt. Vexes troop, gained the prize in good style ; and the good people of Lanark, and the individuals composing the different troops of Yeou.anry Cavalry assembled there, took leave of e:.eh other with sentiments of mutual regard and esteem.

ELECTION of AN A LDERMAN.—Yesterda y a Ward. mote was held at Butcher\ Hall f the inhabitants ri Billingsgate Ward to elect an Alderman in the room of Sir WILLIAM LEIGHTON, who has resigned, when ANTHONY BROWN, Esq. was unanimously elected, amidst universal applause.

GUILDUALL.AN rxrENstec raouc.—yesterday, a very re. spectable young man, a clerk in time office of an eminent solid tor, was brought up before Mr. Alderman ATKINS, upon the charge of being disorderly. The prisoner, it seemed, on his e. home from a social party, where he had beim sacrilicir: rather too freely to the jolly god, was struck with the appearance of a shewy wooden figure of a Highlander at the dc .r of Mr. Micklan's snuff-shop, No. 12, Fleet-street. The young attor ney, who is himself a Scotchrnan, must needs chim acquainvrce with his countryman. He chucked him familiarly under the chic, called him a Very pretty fellow, and M the vehemence of his a , - fection shook his hand with so much violence as to force him from hie station. Mr. Micklan ran to the assistance of his servant, and in the scuffle the unfortunate highlander had both his arms di , - located, the frill that adorned his neck damaged, besides utkr personal injuries, which his living countryman not being in the !tumour to atone for, Mr. M. gave him in charge to the watchman. Before the Magistrate in the morning the young man appear 4 heartily sick of his folly, and perfectly willing to make every re paratlon, hut complained of the excessive demand made epos him, which he stated to be no less than thirteen guineas. 'Mr. Micklan produced the remains of the unfortunate Highlander, who exhibited a compound fracture of both arms, with a ISO. lation of three or four fingers, and such other bodily wounds as to render his perfect recovery, so as to resume his functions at Mr. Micklan's door, altogether hopeless. The Highlander, the complainant stated, co=t Aim thirteen guineas, and was nearly new. The sum might scent large for the young Gentleman to pay for such a frolic ; bet it would not compensate him for the injury he should sustain by the absence of the figure ; for, how ever strange it might appear, he did not hesitate to say that wide out it he should not have more than half his business. Since be had stationed it at his door, he had taken on an average SOs. a d.y more than he had done previously to exhibiting Isis: attractier.. —There being no proof of a breach of the peace, Mr. Alderman ATKINS advised the Gentleman to settle the matter upon the best terms he could. They withdrew together, and on their Teton the corm)lainant reported that the Gentleman had agreed t o take the figure and furnish him with a new one.—Mr. Alchr. man ATKINS, in discharging the prisoner, recommended to hiot to get the figure repaired, and make a niche for him in his o6c, where, by using it as a proper memorial, it would probably save him more money than It cost him.
