Considering it a document which is universally sought after with great avidity, we this day give the Report of the Agricultural Committee at length, and perhaps a more inefficient and less useful report was never submitted to the perusal of our readers— In point of fact, the Committee declares its incompe tence to the duty it was appointed to perform in the first paragraph of its production—the excessive weight of taxation and the other apparent and mos s obvious causes of the present general distress are most studiously avoided—we say general, because however some people may be deceived by the assu rances of Ministers, the general distress is incontro vertible, and for it no remedy can nor wig be ffiund until a Committee be appointed fairly, and wi;11 extensive powers to point out every department in which a reduction may be effixted—to denounce the gang of pensioners and sinecurists—to abrogate the prcsent military establishments, and, in short, to bring the exi;enditure to so redueul a scale as may prcrLnt that ruin to through the improvi th—ce and lavishness of our Governors, we are on ...- high T--t--~::.~ ~- Tin NATIONAL RE' ISTER • There was a meeting of Ministers on Thursday, occasioned by the arrival of important despatches received from Vienna. Advices have been received in the city from that capital, dated the sth March. They state, that on the 28th ult. a great Council was held at Constantinople, at which a Note sub-. mined by the Ambassadors was taken into conside ration, probably pressing the l'orte to accede to the prepositions of Russia. Soon after the Council broke up a Note was transmitted to the ambassadors, which was unfavourable to pease. Should not the Turkish Government relax, war is considered inevi table. However incliaed the Porte might be to concede to Russia, or listen to the recommendation of other Powers, the Government will not endanger its own safety in giving offence to the Janizaries, who lately had a conflict in Constantinople, when some lifes were Ist. The trial in which one of the unfortunate stufllrers on the lamentable and disgraceful 16th of August is pluintiff, and four of the valiant Manchester yeo manry are defendants, commenced on Thursday last at Lancaster—but as its conclusion has not yet reached town, we defer our report till next week.

In conveying these sentiments from a society to which I have the honour to belong. I cannot refrain from expressing mj own cordial concurrence in them, more especially since the statement which I had thegra ification of hearing frotn Sir Robert Wilson in his place in Parliament. and which, notwithstanding the out- . rage inflicted on him by the Govesoment, and sanctioned by ths Rouse of Coninions, has. I am SUusa satisfied every candid and generous Englishman, that his conduct in the transaction alluded to was perfectly in unison with those other acts of his honourable life which have so pre-etninentl j contributed to exalt the diame ter of a British officer in the opinion of surrounding nations, and. which have pro. wed fin their author the thanks of almost every Sovereign, and the military distinctions of almust every counuy, in Europe. except his own. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, B. Mall, Esq. IiIIRINGTON. The King will hold a levee on the 19th instant. On the 23d his Majesty will hold a drawing-room, for the first time this season, which will be a grand gala-day, it being fur the celebration of his Mujestyl birthday, when the members of the different orders ' will be required to appear in their collars, and other observances as noticed upon similar occasions of the Sovereign's birth-day. Mr. Brown, the keeper of Newgate, has been appointed warden of the Fleet-prison, in the room of Mr. Nixon, deceased. The office is in the dis posal of the Lord Chancellor and the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and has been gratuitously conferred en Mr. Brown. FUNERAL OE SIR JOHN SIIVESTICR, On Saturday morning the remains of the deceased. were removed front his town-house, in Bloomsbury square, to be interred at Claingford, Essex. A • number of persons assembled to witness the funeral. At eleven o'clock the procession began to move— it consisted of an out-rider to clear the way ; two mutes on horseback ; feathers: the hearse; drawn by sixlhorses, with the body; live mourning coaches and four. Deceased's carriage, and about twenty other carriages of friends of the deceased closed the • procession. Mudrid papers to the 28th ult. have arrived by express. On the 2ltlt an extraordinary cornier had arrived from Pampeluna, with intelligence of the • 20th, which unfortunately proves that the hopes conceived of the restoration of tranquillity welts fillacious. Ott die 19th, some very disagreeable scenes took place. The affair began with a dinner, attended by the military in a coffee.house, at which songs were sung, end expressions used, which have always been considered insulting to the people of Navarre, and which have for that reason been pro hibited. In consequence of this disturbance, the Alcalde repaired to the spot, but was grossly in: suited, and some students set up the cry of " Death to Riego!" The officers and serjcants who were in the coffee-house immediately sallied out, sabring all they met. Many peasants and militiamen being scattered about the streets, a brisk fire of musketry took place. Extract of a letter from Vulearaieo, Nov. 8: " The Sacramento has arrived, and it appears Lor' Cochrane had gone fur Callao, but some say to Acapulco, but I think his principal object is to look lifter the ship Emperor Alexander, in which I be lieve he is interested. The army at Guayaquil has suffered considerably, and Gen. Sucre, after haviog routed the Spaniards, has been completely defeated, and it is reported, the Spaniards are now masters of The Caledonian Mercury, of March 28, says— " An advertisement appeared in our laet paper. siened a Prudent Man,' and directed against tha Norwich Union Insurance Society, for which we • take the earliest opportunity of expressing our un feigned regret.
