Wilson, at d has accompanied the contribution with the fol lcwing handsome letter:— Castle Hill, March 26. Sta,—The members of " The Devon County! Club fur the propagation of the principles of the British Constitution and the maintenance of Civil and Religious Liberty," have requested mu to transmit the enclosed draft for lout. in the name of the club, to the subscription for Sir Robert Wilson, and to offer at the same time their grateful acknowledgments to that distinguished officer for the attachment which he has constantly shown to the liberties, the honour, and the interests of his countrymen ; and particularly fur his humane and gallant exertions to reiirthc pesee, and to prevent bloodshed in the cod scenes which took place a.t her late Majesty's funeral. In conveying these sentiments from a society to which I his e the honour to b.long, I cannot refrain frinn expressing my own cordial concurrence in them, more especially since the statement which 1 had the gee ification of lie iring from Sir Robert Wilson in his place in l'arliameat, and which, notwithstanding the nu:- rage inflicted on him by the Government. and sanctioned by the Douse of Commons, has, I am sure, satisfied every candid and generous Englishman, that his conduct in the transaction alliii1:11 to was pericetly in unison with those other acts of his honourable life which have so pre-eminently contributed to exalt the charac ter of a British officer in the opinion of surrounding nations, and which have pio..ured fur their author the thanks of almost every Sovereign, and the military distinctions of almost every country, in Europe, except his own. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, U. Hall, Esq. • Y:BRINGTON. FUNERAL OF Sin JOHN Sit ITETER, BA RT.— Y,sterclay morning the remains of the deceased were removed from his town-house, in Bloomsbury !pare, to be interred at Chin ford, 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 ; tw.) mutes on horseback ; feathers: the hearse, drawls by six horses, with the body ; five mourning coaches and four. Deceased's carriage, and about twenty other carriages of friends of the deceased closed the procession. Letters from Trieste, of the Isth ult. mention, that an engagement has taken place between the Greeks and Turkish fleets, in which the former had the advantage, and succeeded in capturing 25 trans ports. The Greeks, it is said, had 75 sail, and the Turks 60—the latter had no ships of war of the first class. The information was brought to Trieste b? the commander of a Greek vessel, who waa an eye witness of the engagement, which occurred off Pa truss on the 3d of last month. IWhen the result is known at Constantinople, it is very likely that it will occasion a commotion. Madrid papers to the 28th ult. have arrived by express. On the 24th an extraordinary comict hal arrived from l'ampeluna, with intelligence of the 20th, which unfortunately proves that the hopes concived of the restoration of tranquillity were fallacious. On the 19th, some very disagreeable scenes took place. The affair began with a dinner, attended by the military in a coffeehouse, at whith songs were sung, and expressions used, which have always been considered insulting to the people of Navarre, and which have fur that reason been pro hibited. In consequence of this disturbance, the Alcalde repaired to the spot, but was grossly in: stilted, and sonic students set up the cry of "Deana to Itiego!" The officers and serjeants who were in the coffee-house immediately sallied out, sabring as they met. Many peasants and militiamen being scattered about the streets, a brisk fire of musketry took place. Extract of a letter from Valparaiso, Nov. 8: " The Sacramento has arrived, and it appears Lord Cochrane had gone for Callao, but some say to Acapulco, but I think his principal object is to look after the ship Emperor Alexander, in whi c h I be lieve lie is interested. The army at Guayaquil has suffered considerably, and Gen. Sueze, slier having routed the Spaniards, has been completely def:ater, and it is reported, the Spaniards are now masters of Guayaquil." The Caledonian Meretay, of March 28, says— " An advertisement appeared in our List paper, signed a ' Prudent . Man; and dir:cted against,the Norwich Union Insurance Society, fir which - we take the earliest opportunity of expressing our un feigned regret. We have always held it to be a sacred principle, in the management of our paper, in no case to insert any thing that can either wound the feelinp or hurt the interest of any individual, and it has been accordingly a standini , rule, oft...n and anxiously enforced, that ail advertisements, which contained matter in the least degree doubtful in its tendency, should be submitted to the Effitnr, as it is impossible that he can read over all the mat ter privittu; to its appearance in the paper. Fy KM/ unitesountable neglect this -ale was not, the present instance, complied with, and the adver tisement in question having got insertion unawart.s, was not observed until it was too late to remedy 0:e evil. We can only repeat, that this mistake has occasioned the most unspeakable vexation, and tbut we are anxious to make ally reparation that may still be in our power." Sir James Macinotsh will accept of the offiiv Recordt:r of the City of Landoll, alioald I,se re ceive the appointment. , • FROM LAST NIGHT'S GALL I TE. BANKRUPTCIES SUPERSEDED. .J.

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 'vas never submitted to the perusal of our readers— a point of fact, the Committee declares its incompe tence to the duty it was appointed to perform in the first paragraph of its production—die excessive weight of taxation and the other apparent and mos t obvious causes of the present general distress are most studiously avoided—we say general, because however come people may be deceived by the assu rtnces of Ministers, the general distress is incontro vLrtible, and for it no remedy can nor will be found a Committee be appointed fairly, and with extensive powers to point out every department in which a reduction may be effected—to denounce I:.e gang of pensioners and sinecurists—to abrogate the present military es tablislimen ts, and, in short, to bring the expenditure to so reduced a scale as may prevent that ruin to which, through the improvi dence and lavishness of our Governors, we are on the high toad. There was a meeting of IVinisters on '1 hursday, 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 ..Bth ult. a great Council was held at Constantinople, at which a Note sub mitted by the Ambassadors was taken into conside ration, probably pressing the Porte to accede to the propositions of Russia. Soon after the Council broke up a Note was transmitted to the ambassadors, which was unfavourable to peace. Should not the Turkish Government relax, war is considered inevi table. However inclined 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 last. The trial in which one of the unfortunate sufferers on the lamentable and disgraceful 16th of August is plaintiff, and four of the valiant Manchester yea manry are defendants, commonced on Thursday last at Lancaster—but as its conclusion has not yet reached town, we defer our report till next week.
