An article from Vienna states, that accounts has arrived on the Yd of June that the Schah of Persia was at the point of death. The will of the dying King declared his younger son Abbas Mimi to be his successor to the throne ; but it is added, that the Governors of provinces and the princes of the Rot•al Family were opposed to this disposition of the throne. The death of the Schah will therefore must probably be the signal for a civil war, of which we doubt not Russia ivill be sure to take advantage. On Tuesday, before the Chamber of Deputies pro ceeded to other business, a Report was made front the Commission appointed to deliberate upon the proposition of M. L. de Vilteveque, for ussigning to the Journalists a place in the body of the Chamber. The Reporter observed, that although the Journals were not officiai, yet they were the most effective and most important instruments in giving to the proceedings of the Chamber that publicity which was essential in Representati ie Governments, and pre-eminently conducive to the seem ity of their in stitutions. l y means of them alone were the Mem bers enabled to debate in the presence, as it were, of their constituents, and to declare their opinions to the country at large. The Commission, therefore, recommended, that a place as near as possible to the Tribune should be appropriated to individuals attending from the Newspapers to report the discus sion. The consideration of the matter was past pond. A deputation of the Livery waited upon the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion House, on Thursday morning, with a requisition, sigued Ly upwards of 100 liverymen, requesting his Lordship to call a Common-hall on an early day, to consider of the propriety of an address to the Queen, upon her arrival in this country. His Lordship politely ex pressed his desire at all times to comply with the wishes of the Livery ; but observed, that as an im portant discussion relative to her Majesty was to take place in the House of Commons that evening, be judged it prudent to wait the result of that dis cussion, before he returned an arswer to their application, The conversation ended by his Lord ship's signifying his readiness to receive any of the gentlemen the neat morning, when he did not doubt iie should be prepared to give his decisive answer.— Mr. Wetherspoon accordingly waited upon his Lord snip on hriday morning, who observed, that after what had taken place in the House of Commons, he supposed her Majesty would be addressed by both Houses of Parliaruent, and that the corporations through the country would probably follow their example. His Lordship did not appear to see any impropriety in granting the Hall ; but as his official duties would necessarily engage hint several days next week, lie could not then fix a particular day, but promised to send Mr, Wetherspoon his final determination previously to the Common Hall of Saturday. It is with infinite satisfaction we learn, "hat the Duke of Sussex has been solicited to suffer his name to be included in the list of Candidates for the Pre sidency of the Royal Society, vacant by the death of Sir Joseph Banks. The high intellectual powers of his Royal Highness, improved by a classical and re fined taste, eminently qualify him to fill the first scientific satiation in this grant metropolis. It would, indeed, be a difficult task to select any one whose zeal in the pursuit of knowledge, whose affa bility of manners, whose liberality of sentiment, evinced on every occasion and ou every subject, so well quahtied to become the President of the Royal Society as his Royal Highness; added to which, the very extensive library, 6elected entirely by his Royal Highness, and winch it has been for same time past his intcutiou to lay of en for the benefit of literary and scientific men, would eminently conduce to the promotion of knowledge in every department of li terature, science, and the arts.

On Friday a case of importance to the more respect able part of sueiely, and which de:eloped a most scol daloos system of fraud...came on to be heard at this Mr. Setvel, Secretary to au institution called " Siratigers .

Mr. Sewel acemilin.;ly made inquiry ati.d ascertained the prisoner's story to he a in.qe fahri- C4tloll. NVILIi he therHbie Ladled at Earl Fitzwilliam's house, he had hin t apprehended. A woman wss also ipprehentled for the :same sort of pluceeding praetised oi, Lord Milton, and it appearei! they had exercised their plans of fra ud upon the Do :e of Devonshire, Oncitess of Bucclengh, Earl of Harrowhy, Earl of Derby, Right Hon. Richard Ryder, Lord ..laiivers, Sir George Staunton, Mr. Wilberrorce, and other persons of distinction. At about three o'clock the office was crowded, and Lord MiLon and Mr. Wilberforce, &c. attended to make their charges against the prisoners for having ob tained money under false pretences. Mr. Scwel, being sworn, stated his charge against the prisoner, George Wyatt, au old man. lie recapi tulated the above particulars in the presence of Lord Milton and kir. Wilberforce, add iiig, that on calling at Earl Fitzwilliam's house he saw tile prisoner, and questioned him concerning the correctness of the tenour of his petition, which he said was all true, in the pre sence of the Eat steward; and that the names of Mr. Wilberforce, Sir George Staunton, and the others, were all gumine: he gave the prisoner a 11. note. A letter was sent to him by Sir..G. Staunton, stating that the signatme of his /Wale was a forgery. Mr. Wilbertwee was sworn. said, on looking at the petition, that she name was not hi signature; whoever wrote it must have seen and tried to imitate his signature. A gentleman was here sworn,and proved that the pri soner's statement was false concerning his taking a school in Charles -street, Hatton-garden ; he was acquainted with the place, and there was no school to be let iu the neighbourhood. Earl Fitzwilliam's steward corroborated Mr. Sewers statemeat. The prisoner, in his defence, said, that he was a land surveyor, and was in great distress, and the contents of the petition we.e true. He was not married to the wo man in custody, but was the father of children blr her, whom he was bound to support. He was remanded. Esther Niven was then separately examined from the above prisoner. She is a decent-looLing woman, of very mild manners and address. Lord Milton, being sworn, stated, that the prisoner came to his house to ask him fur 50111 Q money, present ing a lever. Ile inquired of her what her object was in asking for charity ; she said she was in distress, and wanted to purchase a mangle to get her living. He asked her what would be the expellee of a mangle, and she told hisLordfihip nine guineas, and that Mr. Wilber force had given her a one-pound note. his Lordship was going out at the tiiine, and he gave her some money; he had heard of the imposition, and a constable was standing at the gate, and the prisoner perceiving that she was going to be given in custody, laid down the money, and said she would not take it. Mr. Wilberforce stated a similar imposition on him. • The Magistrate thought it a shameful imposition, and upon tho,e %vho were the most useful members of so ciety ; and, to prevent S uch cases in future, Le hoped that eves) , gentleman who had been situilatly treated would come torwaid.
