When the result of the, plan of the Lords of the Treunry was first known yesterday the Funds fell; bat after three o'clock there was a great quantity of 5 per Cent. thrown on the Market, and Consols rose per Cent. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Funds ire not so brisk 113 at the opening of the Market this morning. Consols are now for the Ac count 741. and 5 per Cent. 1031.

The Cork papers that have reached us to-day, bring accounts of the second day's proceedings of the Spe c, cisl Commission, which will be, found in another of out columns. The convictions at Cork promise, it is said, by The Dublin .iforming PoSi, to be more *bun doe than at the Limerick Commission. In the County Limerick the outrages are unabated, and in tte county of Sligo a temporary barrack has been burnt by a party of disaffected persona, and a serjeatst of yeomanry so severely beaten by them, that his death has ensued. Mr. TROMAB Mix, who was wound ed the arm at she late attack on his father's house it Garrycreen, in the Liberties of Kilkenny, died on Sunday night last of his wound. Paris papers to the 21st inst. have arrived this morn ieg. The only Dews of interest they contain Motes ra, to the again of the Turks and Greeks ; and the last Settees Mtn °drys', under date of January 24, mute: eat notwithstanding the death of the young Prince of Persia, there arrives intelligence from all sides, of the coiXnuation of hostilities between Persil and the Porte. The Rnglish resident, at the former Court, it is affirmed, has offered, in vain, the mediation of England, and the answer he has obtained, is far front satisfactory. Accounts from Merlin state, that a smart action lately took place, near Bagdad. Letters received at Augsburg, from Vienna, on the 15th instant, are said to be by no means satis factory, respecting the pacific intentions which have hitherto been ascribed in that city to the Rus sian Cabinet. It is generally believed that important events will take place in March, fur many persons con eider war as inevitable. The Russians seem to be quite tranquil is Be bia, while the Turks make marches and counter-marches, which are of Do in postanee, but much harass the inhabitants. They ate putting their fortresses on the Danube la the most respectable state of defence. Many European engi seers (said to be English) bare lately arrived from Constantinople, and direct all the works.— There is no appearance of a speedy evacuation of the principalities.—Letters of the 9th of January, received at Corfu from the Mores, say, that the Central Government of the Greeks has constituted it self at Argos. The Provisional Commission of Go vernment is composed of six Ecclesiastics and six secular Members. Prince Kuradha, formerly Gospo iarof Wallachia, who has resided for some years at Piaa, in Italy, is named President, aid his son-in law Prises Michael Suzso, who is expected from Russia, vice President. 1 A vette. is Stet to Leghorn to take them on board. Prince Cantecuzeno is sent to Russia, other persons to other Courts of Europe, to ispiore their aid, or at least their neutrality. The Senate of Argos intends to publish a declaration, in which it will promise to adopt a form of Oonrament mainly monarchical, and to accept it from the hands of the Christian Powers. The Greeks desire no other emancipation than from the insupportable yoke of the Ticks. A letter from Cyprus, of the 11 th Jan. says, we are io expectation here of very great events. We are inactive, and but as nothing in the struggle that is taking place between despotism and liberty, but if we may trust to the presentiments that agitate us, and the iotelligeoce from our brethren in the Mores, the ap. preaching campaign will be nothing less than decisive for all the Greeks of the Archipelago, and the other Colonise of the Mediterranean.

A more stinted growth of Cans has scarcely been known. Respecting the Tobacco Crops, they are very flattering. The growth has been good.

Mr. R. SMITH very properly asked Lord LONDON . - DERRY, last night, whether any measures had been taken since the last Session of Parliament, with re spect to the loan of tteentymue millions due from Austria to England. Ilia Lordship answered. that representations hail been made on the subject, and negociation‘ mere now pending. We shall be glad to find this to be true, even if England never gets a shilling of her money. Bat, we remember that Lord LONDONDISRRY formerly said, that it was s subject which England could not pradcatly disH 'cuss with Austria—meaning, we suppose, that she had intimated, at the time she borrowed the money, that, although called a luau, it was to be considered as a subsidy, end. of coarse, never meant to repay the money. This sum of twenty-use millions is a serious sum to England in her present distressed state. The t don has been ever considered as one of tie greatest folly, sot greatest ricked seas on time pert of Ministate; sod we all— =hive%smoker that he sTiool submit Igo Resolutions to the Ri which would be to give additional natation, of Goveromeot. !•PIF"." ,- eirty fey.' .bjac • . - We have extracted from the Stamford News, a pr ragraph stating that a Meeting is to he held at Tier ney, which has for ite direct object the considered°, of Lord Imsnownsany's plan fur the relief of the Agriculturists. We have great utisfAetion in seeing that announced. Meetings for the object should be held in every county in England. —The more the scheme of Ministers is discussed by the country gentlemen and their tenantry, the mom will its delusive character be detected. It is already. we know, generally laughed at, and despised. Bus every discussion of the subject will add to the genera contempt. It is a little curious, that the New Times (the chief hireling paper of Ministers) has declined to offer an opinion on Lord Ltrearoot. and Mr. VAINSIT TART'S plan for redeeming the Five per Cent. Stock. " ft is not for us" (the Editor says) " to offer as opinion on it." Indeed! Why that is simpler, considering the hot-headed seal of that Journal for Ministers; and considering also, the fearless manner in which they have hitherto plunged into and through every defence necessary to their patrons:— We most con4ss, however, that the defence of the Pine per Cent. plan requires more than even the ordinary audacity of The New limes ; and the absurdity of the plan, when compared wita the load professions of Government to p faith silt the public creditOr, is equal to its injustice. Ar.k The proceedings to the Hesse of Coombe*, last night, on the motion for going into a Committee of Supply, are highly interesting ; and we call the atten tion of oar readers to them, particularly as to what , transpired respecting EDWARD FINCH Hemet. The country is greatly indebted to Mr. MDR, for the ex posure of abuses, which be is every day making. In vain, will Mr. CROKER rave against the Honourable Member, as he did last night: every time be speaks lon the subject, the name of Mr. -Musts will become more and more dear to every Briton. We have very great satisfaction in perceiving, that the attempt of the Greeks to ( ' throw off the Terkisb yoke continues to be *await with every appearance of success. We have viewed with resell surprise, the indifference with which that subject bee been gene rally regarded bete. The Greeks ar• sodded to our sympathy, if it were only as they era destwodaets of the greatest people that history bee male known to ne. But they are fighting for the canoes( freedies, which should of itself endear them to - e very English man. They are contending with a barlieress Boma. meat, wheee very existence has been a reproach to all - - Christian Dation". The indignity with which tit. Ambassadors of even the greatest of the Christian Powers are treated at the Turkish Court, Las heett subject of indignation in every brave man's feeling. The ceremony attending upon an audience of the Grand Seignon when granted to an Ambissadol of any Christian Power, is as degrading to him a• any form which is exacted at the Court of the Chinese Emperor. Let the Christian name Le freed from this long continued humiliation. Let all Christian natioos join to liberate the Greeks from their yoke. We ate aware of the danger of aggrandizing Ressie too much. by each a line of policy. But the great powers of Europe might interfere to liberate the Greeks, without germ'allog Russia to take any other than a limited shartia the enterprise, which should pre clude her from all aggreodisement. England and France, withtbst the aid of any other European State. could 'effect this. England and France would have accom plished this, ere now, if the Government of each country had not fallen into imbecile and ignorant I bands. The Ministers of France, and the Ministers of Britain, are too mean in ruled, and too selfish, to es pouse so great a cause as that of the Greeks. We should be glad, Lowe. er, to see the people of this country deliver themselves from the disgrace of ac quiescing in the unworthy policy of Ministers whom they justly despise. The distresses of the Agriculturists (which are felt by all who have any heart, and any love for the country,) it is true, occupy the public at tention, almost wholly. We are willing to make every allowance for the feelings which properly animate Bri tons, on this subject. But the Greeks may come in for a share of our sympathy, without weakening the other emotion. Indeed, the same generosity which leads us to aid our 'offering countrymen, with our united voices, and with all our other means, will call upon us to amiss the Greeks. Let something, then, be done to this end; and let it begin in this metropoli., which has distisguished it self so often by its munificence and humanity. Let us not fall into apathy, when the cause of Linarre is the cause which demands our protection. • Advises were received yesterday from Santiago de Chili to the 29 Oct., which bring a confirmation of the fortress of Mlloo baring fallen into the possession of the Patriots on the 224 of Sept. last.

The Agricultural Committee met yesterday for the brat time since its re•appoiotosent. The only basi -1 nen done was the selection of a Chairman, and the , choice of the Committee is this respect has again fall's on Mr. Gooch. A Bill is to be brought into Parliament under mi nisterial support for condoning the bounties on linens exported from Britain, as from Ireland, without limi tation of time. This is very important for Scotland, as the Bounty Act expires in July next. It is said to be in the contemplation of Government to make the duties now payable in Dublin, os ar thane( every description, whether foreign or of ea tire growth, imported from England, payable, in fe tare, exclesinly at the English pert of exportation; thee assimilating the trade betimes %bile end Eng land to the coasting trade between any two English ports.
