Causes will produce effects—the philosopher knows this, and considers well what may be produced by any act before he does it—the idiot goes on without this consideration, and having brought a huge stone to the brink of an abyss is astonished to find the ex tent of evil produced by its descent. The effects of The Beacon, The John Bull, and the other publica tions of the same kind, which, by the disgrace they have fixed upon our country, have formed an era in the literary world, are beginning to dcvelope them selves—this developement was commenced by the duel between Mr. Stuart and Sir Alexander Bos well, in which the event was such as to decrease our hatred of the barbarous custom, inasmuch as the aggressor became the victim. Since that occurrence the Hon. James Abercromby, a barrister who sits in the House of Commons fur Caine, meritoriously brought before the I louse what every body thought the highly censurable conduct of the Lord Advocate of Scotland, who, holding an official legal situation in that part of the United Kingdom, more im portant, because embracing more extensive powers, than the Attorney General of England, had not he sitated to countenance with his support, pecuniary and personal, the worst of this species of libellous periodical publications—in bringing this question forward Mr. Abercromby had occasion to notice equally censurable conduct on the part of the Depu ties of the Lori Advocate, each of whom has had the temerity to address him in a style which has been i declared by the House of Commons a high breach of ' their privilege. Mr. Abercromby had left town when the Messenger of the House arrived at his residence with an order for his immediate attend ance, and had, it appears, accompanied by Lord Althorp, proceeded towards Edinburgh with a view of punishing by a coup de pistokt the arrogance of these Scottish promoters of falsehood : having, how ever, learnt at Ferrybridge the proceedings that took place in the House on Thursday night, and be ing convinced that their proceeding further would have been useless, they returned to town, and Friday evening Mr. Abercromby appeared in his place, in obedience to the order of the House. The two delinquents are ordered to appear at the Bar of the House on Tuesday evening next. TUE Constitutional A ssoc tAT I 0 N.—We appre hend that the institution which, under the above imposing title, made so considerable a noise in the world, is very near its final dissolution.—Funds, amounting to nearly thirty thousand pounds were, to the disgrace of every one whose name appeared in the list of contributors, furnished, and yet, during the 'resent week, a check for less than 51. has been THE NATIONAL REG ISTER refused payment by the bankers of the establishment. One of the parties concerned has recently become notorious by applications made to the Court of King's Bench, to compel him to pay over monies to a great amount, which he had received on account of those, wbo being foolish enough to rely upon his honour, had empowered hint to act as their agent — another party is, and long has been, notorious for more than we could with safety specify while truth is held legally to be a libel. Young Wilding, in The Citizen, exclaims—" the King het not in his gift so valuable a thing as a commission of bankruptcy," but at the time that sentence was written the funds of " the Constitutional Association" were not in ex istence, or probably the lie direct might have been given upon experience of both those benefits by a certain " Honorary" who at present finds it prudent to keep his deineure a profound secret—the treasurer we hear is an honest man, in spite of his having been entrapped into a connection with the indivi duals above alluded to, and he certainly owes it to his own character, as a tradesman of respectability, instantly to call a general meeting, and by a fair and candid exhibition of his accounts remove from hintselt the odium of embezzlement, which we feel gonvinced cannot with propriety be attached to THE REVENUE The following is a statement of the income and charge on the Consolidated Fund in the Quarter ended s th July, 1822 :- 1 NCO M E.

FUNDS,YESTERDAV, ONE o'etoce..—Some sales have been made this morning, particularly among the Jew party, which has caused a heavy market. Consols, up to this hour, are 80ii; Re duced SO; and for August, 811. The Ibreign market is exceedingly heavy,owing to the informa tion from Spain. Letters from Barcelona of the 27th ult. state, that the insurgents have stopped the mails with the letters, took them from the courier, and burnt them; amongst which were letters from London to the 14th of June. It is the general opi nion on 'Change, that the insurrection of the troops at Madrid will not be of long duration, that they will be obliged to surrender, and submit to the Constitution.—Every manoeuvre is made use of to raise the price of the new Prussian Bonds, but with out effect. Spanish Bonds have not recovered from their depression of one per cent., and little is doing in them. The whole of the Securities look heavy, with little business doing. Charleston papers to the 16th ult. announce the arrest of William Borth wick, for whose apprehension a large reward was offered by the proprietors of the East Lothian Bank, of which he was cashier. lie was taken into custody on the 7th ult. at Savannah, where he arrived in the Juno, from Liverpool. A. portion only of the money with which he is charged to have absconded has been recovered. It is said that he had deposited the principal part in Europe, payable to order. 43 RoYAL GARDENS, VAUXHALL.—TIII.I Garden were most numerously attended each evening they were open last week, among the Fashionables present on Friday evening only we noticed— Lords Sidmouth.

" The late hours of Vauxhall are destructive of health," has, for time immemorial, been the answer of the majority of fathers to the entreaties of their children to view the fascinations of this unegnalled scene, but the Proprietors last night removed the objection by commencnig the performances at six o'clock and closing them at 10 precisely—no cur.• tailment in the amusement, except a little in the concert, took place, and the presence of more than twenty-five hundred children, besides at••leaet half the number a lults, repaid the Proprietors far the expellee they incurred by an additional performance to gratify their juvenile friends—.-the following " LITTLE SONG" was sung by Mr. Charles Taylor, written expressly for the occasion by Mr. T.
