Some sales have been made this morning, particu larly among the Jew party, which bays canoed a besry market. Consols at' present are 801 i. Re duced IA ; and for Angest 811. TOISIGN FUNDS. The above market is exceedingly heavy this morn ing, owing to the intelligence from Spain. Letter. from Barcelona to the 27th ult. state, that the insor- gents have stepped the mail, and taken the mail bags from the Courier and burnt them. Amongst the let sal were those from London of the 14th of Jane. It ie the general opinion on Change that the faint tntion of the troops at Madrid will not be of lung du-atloe, but that they will be obliged to surrender and submit to the Constitution.

In the city of St. Domingo, things are far from being settled. General Touissaint commands, and It, i 4 onl• by the most strennons exertions he is able to keep the blacks quiet. The other settlers are not so well pleased as they expected to be with the new Go. mint. Baron Dopey has been appointed Uaternor of St. Jago city. Ali the rich Spaniards bays moved from St. Domingo. There have been no Spanish pri vateers off Lapin for some time, and vessels sail al. !rote daily for this place. Some 'liens's , * sales of German goods hive been effected iv a good advance. Nris rpm to the 11th instant have come to hand. brbey contain accounts of some interest from Spain no :'ssnstantistaple. The former state that the rebel bend, amonti.4',/ to 1500, ander the command of c liew i a. i n N ‘ 7,ero ; bare been routed com pletely, with the loss of 400 left jea: es the field. Earle's& himself is said to have escaped, without e s;ngie comp-lei:ln, into France, dispaised as a peasant. The latter accounts state that the Divan resumed its insincere and dilatory mode of proceeding, and ti at the Reis-Effendi, in answer to the pressing notes of the English and Austrian Ministers, has declined, _ _ en the part of the Sultan, sending* Diplomatic Agent In the appro..ching Congress, on the ground that there is no nyttter of dispute between Russia and the Porte, and that it only remains for Russia to send M. de Strogonoff or a successor to him. again to Constanti no:le. The Janissaries destined to n board the Aeet, had firmed the plan of plundering Peru, but the tiekore of the Government once more defeated their criminal intentions. To this intelligence, accounts from the frontiers of Moldavia, dated June 21, add, that the Asiatic troops bad rebelled at Braila ■nd at itonmelirtuk, and bad taken post on both banks of the Danube. This rebellion may he one of the difficulties to which the Reis Effendi alluded in bie answer to the British and Austrian Ministers. Letters from Trieste of the 23d ult., state that the British Government at Coats had recognised and proclaimed the blockade of the Ottoman coasts decreed by the Greek Senate.— hey also mention that the Greek vessels are well sup plied with Cungtere rockets, which form their chief strength and Lope in case of an engagement with the large Turkish ships.

LOWERY 81LL....-Mr. WWI stated that the tickets were sold by the Government at tete pomade, and that the contractors sold Meng for nineteeis or twenty ! —He wanted a new regulation ae to Lottery Offices. This was not attended to ; but sorely here is enongb to enviers any body what folly it is to purchase Tickets in • Lottery. As to the immorality of the thin, it is in vain to talk of that ; for with tans like ems, and rousse laws like mare. to talk of morality is a farce. MARRIAGII•ACT.—This Act was brought beck from the Lords with amendments. The ATTORNIT ▪ opposed the Bill ; lie wished the discussion of It to be postponed. He stated several powerful objee dons to it e bet finally the Bid was peeped by • retry great majority. This Bill will inevitable create great confusion ; and that at a time, too, when Hid knows there is confusion enough already. • PRIVILEOII.—Last night Mr. Aszacsownts, te our agreeable surprise, made his appearance in the horse ! The S having been directed by the Mose so, to'do, stated to Mr. Anaaceowtita what had taken' place in the House relative to his affair, and conclud ed by enjoining him, pursuant to the order of the House. " not to prosecute any quarrel against any " person or persons, arising out of the said breech of " Privilege by sending or accepting any challenge."' The only objection that we have to this is, that some persona may look neon it as a recognition on the part of the House, of the legality and propriety, le tinnily speaking, of the foolish, the beastly, the hypo critical, and nine times out of ten, (as carried on in this country) impost erre-like practice of duelling. If, indeed, the fellows were to go into the field, as the Yankees do, and not conic out of it till one, or both. of the parties were killed or crippled, we should have to say that it was no sham, at say rate. Hot, for a couple of men to go oat to fight, and come back again kissing one &nattier, after haviagfired is the air, nod perhaps only with paper-bullets (which we understand is the case nine times out of ten) and up°n that ground to claim the title of gentlemen, and men of honour: this is what we object to; these are amongst the wont of impostors —The S having finished, Lord AI:THORP rose to explain hew it was that , Mr. ABVICROMBIS got back; and a very curious replan- Goa it was.—He said, that his Honourable and Learned Friend, whoa Inlet London, went to him in Northamp tonshire ; that they pursued their course, as fast as they 441111440 the North ;that,on theirarrival at Ferry-bridge, they became informed of what bad leaned io the Hcuse t that they then saw that they coati/ sot isoconi plish their object, seeing that Mr. aim Mt wiliver domed up by the House ; that his Hoeosrable. and. i Learned Friend was desirons to obey the ordcii of the Horse as promptly as possible; and that lie (turd Airtime) felt it hie duty to advise his Hon. and Learned Friend to return to Looden without delay either to present himself in hie place in Parliament, or to parsec the original object of his joiriacy.— Upon this, if we were permitted to make remarks, %se should say, that, there dots not appear to us to hare been quite sufficient reason given for the return, since the Noble Lord and the Honourable and Learned Gen tleman would have been at the end of their jauroey full as soon as the Orders of House; but, we highly applaud the prudence of the parties, and are glad to see Mr. ABERCROMBIE in his place, instead of pur suing the original object of his journey; which, if we were to characterize it, would, tinder all the cir cumstances of the case, stand in no very re spectable light.—Here we should stop, waiting for the making of farther remarks upon the subject. until after the alledged offenders bad been before the House ; hut, as was noticed in oar paper of Wednesday. something has been said on the *ab ject opt of doors, sod especially by the Monate:. Chro nicle. This print had said on Wednesday that which we thought backed tip, or endesvoured to back up, the doctrine of Mr. BROUGII•M. Bat, on the Deg% the Chronicle, is explanation, said, " God forbid, that " we should subscribe to the doctrines laid dower by the Howse, on the subject of privilege." The Chronicle quotes the New Times, which contends, as we do, that " let the law say what it will, it is perfectly certain. that " no English Gentleman could submit togrou insult or calamity, though it should reach him le the shape of " a newspaper report of a speech in Parliament."— Well said. Doctor ! Even you will not subscribe to the doctrine, that Mr. Connerr was to remain silent, wken be saw your report of the Nettling and talus 'oss speech of Sir EDWARD BN•TCHBULII., new Mein bee and lateTa.r-getherer of the Coenty of And, you will please to observe, Doctor, that every l l rasa has the same rights ; and that arty ore of the calrm7iuted reformers had just as good a right to pro• teed in the m !bath' . Hera and MENZIeI have proceeded as they had to proceed thus. Bur, to return to the Chronicle: it says (on Thursday) that •' it has been erroneously supp"sed by some of " our contemporaries, that we are advocates of the " claims of privileges set up by the House, because "we reprobated the system of challenging Mem " bers for what they may utter in the discharge "of their public ditty, or making use •f words " amounting to a chalk-age." What a deal of time would be saved, if men would always speak plain. If the Chronicle had, on Wednesday, said, that its objection was confined to the pistolling mode of obtaining redress; that is to say to the fool's, the guilty man's, and really the coward's mode ; if it had said, on Weineeday, that this was what it repro- bated, it would hive needed to speed as time in its own defence on Thursday. Bat, it did not say this ; nor any thing like this. On the contrary, it talked about I system of attack; it talked about c Atting tip privilege by the roots; it quoted Mr. littouGuita'e words, and sdopeedelmem ! And, what sorter attack ware,* to sup pow it meant ? Wlly,to ►e sure, the same sort ofuestei that Mr. Batman AM meant. And what sort et' attack lid he men .? Why an attack with the pea H. 1 N. .., talked of tearing up psieifege by the rods by attarks on individual Members; be was less afraid of general' attacks on the Honse in its cooperate capacity. how ever gross and indecent. What! Could the Ciro: side believe him to mean general attacks with swords and pistols ! This would he attarkinT tier Collec• tire with • vengeance! Oh, no! The Chrovith ham that he meant no ends thing. Then. again. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that, in a ca•e, where an individual pet his name to a letter and ad dressed it, in print to a ?!under, such iadisidual ought to be called on by the horse to answer for. or explain. his conduct. Now, was there any thing shoot chaticegiag here The Chronicle must have known better; and it mast have known, ton, that Mr. Hatumnast had in his eye, not any challenger to fight with pistols; hot • great challenger to fight with pens! The plain troth is, that be had in his eve, him who ha. written, and who is almost contioutilly addressing " Letters to Members", such as Letter to TIERNEY, for instance, on the subject of their speeches in the Haase. This was the challenger ; this was the attacker; this was the singke oat. whom Mr. BROUGHAM bad in his eye, when lie was snaking this speech, and who will address a letter to Mr. BILOUGHAM, in the very next Register so the subject of this very speech ! We shall, therefore, say noshing more on the matter at present. la a few days Mr. Hors and Mr. htanstes will be up to fiancee for their having endeavoured to defend themselves. We will jest add a word about the establish. ing, by subscription, of the Scotch Jthe Bell Newspaper, about which so much has been said. It has been represented as a sort of crime to subscribe and combine t• establish and uphold a thing like this by subscription. Is it not notorious that this is done on both sides' And, if we are toil that the thing is bad, we can only say, that it is an evil inseparable from the freedom of thepecas. In America the editors of news-papers are, in many cases, the mere dentate of the opposing parties, and would no more think of publishing their own sentiments, If they differed Woo those of their party, than a footmen would think of telling his master what meat he should Lave on his table. To employ the publie.money ig this way is, indeed, an atrocious act ; but these Scotch John-Ball men are accused of no such thing. They are accused of giving their owe money.—Bat, this Scotch John Ball was • paper that attacked private eheroeter. And, what of that ? We say of it as of the London John Bull. Its attacks are true or/Wee; if the lat. ter, the panics may be punished legally, besides being exposed by the press to public Indignation or scorn ; and, if true, lb. attacks are meritorious, and must 'te e...sully do good. We do not like this wirreiag about private ch reader. Let the attacks be true, and we always approve of them ; or, at the least, we never make them subject of censure. And, it really dues appear a little strange to us, that such a clamant against writings of this sort should be set up by those, who have traded so largely in private letters, and who really began the present wrangle by getting private let ters out of the hands of Borrtswica. Challenging a Member for what be has said in his speech would be bad enough ; for, it is always Gad ; but, is it so bad, as to get a osaa's pr ivate paper. out of the hands of one to woem they had io confidence been committed. and ,esendire a challenge epos those mere? Here, in , deed, is iiiyslem" that wants patting down the private letter system. The Romp, Wright. and Sit P. BURDETT, were leaders in this amiable system; Bor- SHITU of Liverpool followed it op; and, one would bare thought, that their fate, ought to Lay- been a warning to oases.. This system ow4ht to put down with all speed ; and we think that its effects in Scotland will give it its death-blow.—Returning for a moment to the house, we cannot hut adosiic the readiness which Lord A LTHORP and Mr. Asia. et:emote sheaved to pay attention to what they found in a nerrpoper ! See the good of Neus-pspers ! The Marqness of L indanderty , and the Earl of Li verponl had audiences with the King yesterday. The Bulletin from Eosleigh Cottage, dssed Thurs day last, states that the Duke of Bedford is slowly, but regnlsrly, recovering. A proclasnatian has been issued st the Cape of Good Hope, by which foreign vessels are admitted, under certain restrictions, to bond there their produce and manufactures. 'f his measure, it is expected, will lead to consequeaces beneficial to the colony, as a prospect is thereby created of its boon ring, at some future period, a place of general depot betw.st India and the continents of Europe and America. If•isnracTuaras' WAGES —By the NurteicA Mer cury received this morning, we learn, that the!: city had been considerably agitated at the beginning of Ms week, in cons-quence of an alteration, which it seems was contemplated la the prices paid for weaving the various articles which are manufactured there.— A reduction was required to the extent of from IQ to 20 per cent. This was resisted on the part of the west% era, and a petition signed by above MO was preseired by a body of I hundreds, to the Deputy Chairman of the Manfacturers. A Meeting of the anufattorers was celled on Timidity, and previous to their assembling, I thousands of the w met in the market place, and a deputation of 12 was appointed to cooler with the Manufacturers. The dis cussion w ied on by the master and by the men,soine of whom displayed, it is said,great talent am' knowledge of the subject . The deputation had withdrawn to make their fi nal decision ; when unfortunately, Mr. Wesley, a manufacturer proceeding to the meeting, was soir4l upon the steps of the 11.11, and was se. sorely beaten. Mr. Sheriff 0 . alarmed at leis attack, dispatched a messenger to the barracks far the Dragoons. In the mean time the meeting was dissolved, and Mr. Arthur Beloe, who it was know. had opposed the reduction, OD descending the steps of ti. , Hall was saluted with nniversal shoots of applause, was raised upon the shoulders of the men and borne in triumph to hie warehouse, es Orford-hill. where he requested to be set down and addressed the people in a short speech, the main purport of which was to reprobate the attack oa Mr. Wesley, and to recommend peaceable demeanor. The dragoons ar riving at the Market-place while Mr. &No was car ried off, were of course remanded, ■nd the city was left is tranquillity. The malt of the nudist was,. that the old prices should continue.
