The French funds continue to ad vance progressively. The rentes ou Tuesday reached to 83 francs, 70 cents ; but sustained a depression towards the close of 25 cents. The abdication of Victor Emmanuel, and the accession of his brother Charles Felix to the throne of Sardinia have been formally announced by an act given at Nice on the 9th of last month. The parties concerned in The Juhn Bull Sunday newspaper had, some time ago, a prosecution insti • tined against them for a vilianous libel on the late Lady Charlotte Wrottesley, the deceased wife of Sir John Wrottesley, the daughter of the Earl of Tankervillc, and consequently the sister of the Hon. Henry Grey Bennett—they have this week had an opportunity of exhibiting one of the most complete avenes of falsehood and prevarication at the Bar of the House of Commons that can be conceived, hav ing been called there fur a breach of privilege, com mitted by gross reflection on the conduct of the I fon, H. G. Bennett. That his patriotism and indefatigability in the discovery and exposure of the corruptions of Governmetit should have called him it.to the notice of so inKunims a publication, does not surprise us, but that men could b.: Klima con. THE NATIONAL REGISTER nected with even the worst part of the public press, equal to so long and so degrading a tissue of un truths and inconsistencies, does indeed astonish us. By our Parliamentary report it will be seen that on Friday night the soi-disant proprietor and the editor were committed to Newgate, while those who deserved punishment much more, were allowed to escape. It is publicly reported and generally be lieved that a member of the I rouse, a person hold• ing a high official situation, was in point of fact the author of the censurable paragraph. • In the House of Lords the Bill for the disfran chisement of Grampound, and for conferring the elective privilege upon Leeds,has been reads second time, but under the declared and decided determin ation of Lords Eldon and Westmorland (two of the Cabinet Ministers) that they would oppose it here after. This is not surprising—they think, no doubt, that the borough system works well, and would probably prefer an increase of it, to its dimi nution. Their clforts to stifle the general call for a Refbrin may succeed, but it will be an ephemeral success—Reform must come-1106mi will come, or, if it be resisted too long, an alternative may be adopted which we hardly dare think of A further arrival of New York papers to the 15th ult. took place on Wednesday. Intelligence of the 7th January had been received from the capital of New Granada, elating that the province of Cuenta had proclaimed its independence, and appointed a supreme junta ; and that, in consequence of the cxpeditioa sent by Guayaquil against Quito (al though its first object, as we stated some time ago, was frustrated), the districts of Arabia°, Itishamba, Quaronda, and Tucunga, had likewise declancl themselves independent. Inhumation had also ar rived, by way of Curacoa, of the accession of Rio de la Hache to the public of Columbia. Details of some interest have been received ut New York, relating to the progress made by the missionaries sent from the United States to the Sandwich islands. It appears that by the death of King Ta maliamaba, which occurred early in J B'2o, a general revolution has taken place in those islands. The priesthood has been abolished, the idols burnt, and the Morecalis destroyed, and the labours of the mis sion prove in all of them effective. Its members are much cherished by the inhabitants, and supported in sonic instances at the public expense. Schools were erecting, and the study of the Eaglish language rapidly advancing. Among the pupils arc the King and Queen Atooi, who have addressed the fol lowing letters, dictated by themselves, to the friends of the missionaries in America : TAW/KEE, KING OF ATOOI, TO TUE REV. DR. WORCESTER. " A tool, July 28, 1820. "My dear Friend,-1 wish to write a tew lines to you, to thank you for the good book you was so kind as to send my son. 1 hope my people will soon read this and all other good books.

Gentlemen.—The Lords Commissioners of his Alajesty's Treasury having bad under consideration the petit' of ',eyeful wine dealers in C.e port of Liverpool, praying to be al:owed to export wine to all parts of the world, in package• of flues. dozen bottles each ; I am commanded by their Lonlships to aothorire you to :Wow the drawback on wine exported to his Majesty's possessions generally, in cases containi.,g 'Mee dozen cacti, by way of expermitnt for twelve tilunth,. (Signed, S. R. LUSIIINGTON. Commissioners of the Customs. The revenue of the two schools of ltishworth and Dewsbury, in Yorkshire has, by the recent decision in the Court of Chancery, been increased from 5u.)1. to 3,0001. 39 Tot Conortavots.—.on this subject numerous reports are circulated, and it appears certain that there are serious intentions of celebrating it during the ensuing summer. It it whispered, however, that her Majesty has embarr.,ssed Ministers, by re quiring that a proper situation should be provided for herself and suite to witness the ceremony.— A negociation is said to have been set on foot, for some time, to obviate this difficulty, but that her Ma jesty will listen to nothing unless her name be first restored to the Liturgy. The 18th of June- was named as a fit day for the coronation, that being the anniversary of the glorious battle of Waterloo; but as it was found that the 18th of June would come round before the House of Commons should have terminated the session, that day would not be con, venient, as every member would have a right by custom to demand provision for himself and family. It • now seems that the 12th of July is the day fixed; and the coronation will certainly take place, if the difficulties which have been mentioned cart be surmounted. Her Majesty honoured Mr. Ward on Tuesday morning, by viewing his magnificent picture at the Egyptian Hall, with peculiar interest, and for a considerable length of time, to the gratification of numerous spectators who were present, her Majesty not having sent Mr. Ward any previous notice of her intended visit. Her Majesty was attended by Sir Robert Wilson, Lord and Lady Hood, and other distinguished characters. Fracas between Mr. Joseph Glossop, of the Co -1)(311,7; Theatre, and Mr. IVinston of Drury Lane.— The former gentleman, in consequence of some misunderstanding, on Friday took the summary mode of horsewhipping the latter.

He has left a wife and family to deplore his loss. This day being the first Sunday in Easter • Term, the Rt. Hun.,the Lord Mayor, accompanied by several of the Aldermen, Sheriffs, and City Offi cers will. go in grand procession to St. Paul's Cathe dral, where according to annual custom, they will be met by the Judges, Sergeants, and many of the principal Barristers of the Law, when an appro priate 'sermon will be preached before them by his Lordship's Chaplain. After Divine Service, the whole of the Learned Sages will proceed to the Mansion-house, where a sumptuous entertainment, consisting of all the delicacies of the season will be provided fur them. AGRICULTURAL COMMITTEE--There are now 28 members forming this committee. The Marquis of Londonderry had been added to them, and his Lordship has constantly attended their meetings since the recess. The committee was on Monday folly attended. On the right of Mr. Gooch, the Chairman, appeared the Marquis of Londonderry, the Hon. F. Rubinson, Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Ricardo, &e.; and on the left were Sir Edward Knatchbull, tlr. Curwen, Mr. faring, Sic. No witnesses were - examined. On the Chair being taken, the commit mittee proceeded to enquire, whether it was requisite to evil any more witnesses. This was decided in the negative, with the exception of one witness, who was desired to attend to-day. His evidence, it is expected, will complete their examinations of witnesses. The committee then proceeded to the di s cussion of' the important question—what report they should make to the house. No member adduced any thing as the outline of a report, or submitted any distinct propositions, for the considerstion of the committee; but during the whole of the day they were engaged in discussing what had been adduced on the one hand, by those who appeared in support of the agriculturists' petitions, and on the other, by per sons who gave testimony in opposition to that of the Eirmers. The Marquis of Londonderry and Mr. Baring addressed the Committee at considerable length. After this extended discussion, the only result that was come to was, that the debate should be resumed this day Tandem Driving.—A match was drove on Wed nesday ou the Lewisham-road, for 100 guineas, by Mr. Gwilt, a dealer, who undertook to trot two horses in tandem 13 miles in one hour, and to wait three 'Mantes if either horse broke into a gallop. The horses did the first three miles same seconds over 14 minutes, viten the leader broke front the trot, and halt' the distance was performed in 30 mi nutes and SO seconds. The driver was going on at the rate of a mile in flair minutes and about 15 se conds, when the wheel horse broke into a gal!op in the 11th mile, and the match was given up as lost. The county of Lancaster ha s ado pted the plan of raising the militia by bounties instead of ballot, which mode is Sound the least expensive to Ole county. Each volunteer receives, en s;vorts inn, two guineas.
