We have received the French Morning and Evening Papers of Saturday and Sunday. The Elulle, which is the organ of the Ecclesiastics, who are seeking to re-esta- Nish their power in that country, which already owes one revolution of blood and extirpation to their arrogant assumptions, employs itself, in the absence of any thing like news, to advocate more and more zealously the cause of the Jesuits. Those Papers which oppose the growing power of these crafty religionists, having been taunted with the fact that their favourite, HtNRY IV., • had not only countenanced this sect, but ha.l expressed li;s anxiety that all France should imitate his example, have argued that the conduct of HENRI( in this instance was dictated only by measures of policy, and not by a friendly disposition towards that body of power-grasping I' elates ; which has so roused the indignation of the Etoile that it has expended two mortal columns to establish the position that HINKY IV. was one of the most sincere and zealous Jesuits that ever France could baast. We are not disposed to enter into this grave controversy, it being in reality a question so foreign from the opinions, and habits, and asocciations of Englishmen, as to he but of very little interest to them ; and we advert to it only that our readers may be informed what, after all the convulsions France' has, for the last 30 years, undergone, are now the great and mighty matters of dispute among that people in the nineteenth century. Sunday being the second anniversary of the death of Louts XVIII. several members of the Itoyst Family went to St. Denis to celebrate a Relnietn for his soul. DENNIS FlAYSSltlops, Bishop of f:ermopolis, as Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs and of Public Instruc tion. has just issued two Decrees respecting the future re gulation of the preparatory schools in the arts and sciences. We have received Dutch and Hamhurgh Papers to the 16th inst. They contain no political intelligence Ibliatever (unless an uncertain account of an irruption • made by the Persians into some remote parts of Russia may be deemed such) ; but their contents, perhaps, are not the less interesting on that account, for it is always better to hear of the health of our friends, and of the peaceable move wents in commerce, than of the death of our enemies, or of the stagnation of all trade by the internal distractions of a country. For these reasons the extracts we give below, and in other parts of our Paper, are not unimportant. It is quite obvious that the recent measures of our Government • bare strongly excited the attention of foreign nations; and, instead of giving us doleful details of the insubordina von of young Gentian students, we new tecerfEl regular price current of all the important articles of human con f aumption DRESDEN, SEPT. 9.

AOOVIT 18 (34 Despatches from General Yermelot, who commands in Georgia, have brought accounts of an irruption made by the Persians into several parts of the Russian territory.. These first accounts, transmitted m haste, do not enable us to understand the character of this aggresgen. Is kan effort of the fanatical preaching' which have for a long time past taken place in Persia, end which seem to have caused a great fermentation in that country ? Have the tribes near our frootier yielded to that Inclination to plunder and rapine, which constantly animates them ? Have their chiefs favoured their proceedings? Have they been unable to sustain them ? or. lastly, are we to ascribe so unjust, so sudden an invasion, to the Court of Persia itself? Can that Court have violated, in such a degree, the peace, and the treaties which guaranteed it? tan it have, all abaft, taken a resolution to attack us without notice, and without object ? Such are the questions which occur, but which the Government is not yet able to answer. The reciprocal advantages secured to Buena and to P bg the treaty of Gulistan— the friendly relation* between them sun the conclusion of that treaty—the absence of all grounds for a . serious difference—the mission of Major Prince Mensikow to the Schah, to announce to him the accession of his Majesty the Empe ror to the throne, and to confirm and strengthen the friendship and gond understanding between the two States—the reception he met I with on his arrival in the Persian territory—the attention paid to him—the friendly assurances lavished on him by the presumptive heir to the Crown Prince,—every thing gave reason to presume the stability and duration of the peace. That the Court of Teheran should reply to this mission by a sudden attack, that It should im mediately follow up these eminences by war, without explanation and without any previous declaration, even without any pretext that might justify it, is an event so strange, that the Imperial Go verament cannot credit it till it has received entire confirmation end authentic proofs of it. Accordingly, while General Vennaloff has received orders to repel force by force, and to clear our frontiers of the hordes that have dared to pass them ; on the other hand, solemn satisfaction has been demanded of the &hall of Penis. Russia has demanded true that Sovereign the immediate deposition and exemplary punishment (within the term of five Jays) of the chief who first violated our frontiers. If, contrary to all secta tion, this satisfaction should not be given. General Yermaloff was immediately to advance, and commence offensive operations. The justice of our cause would ensure to our arms the dignesprotection, and the chastisement would be u exemplary as the attack has been presumptuous and perfidious. The public will be regularly and accurately informed of every thing relative to the state of affairs on the limners of Persia. Preparations are already beginning to he made In this capital for the rejoicings at the Coronation of their Imperial Majesties.

A notion may be formed of the number of travellers going to Motto, for the Coronation front the fact, that to the 500 post-hones at each stage, it has been necessary to add 300 more ; 307 were re quired for the members of the diplomatic body alone.

NISCIINEY NOVOGOROD, AVOUST 19. This year 31.000 bales of tea were brought to the fair, of which 20.000 have been sold ; the ordinary at 350 rubles, the good and tine from 450 to 680 rubles per bole. There were 3.000 hogsheads of sugar, of which half were sold at 374 to 41 rubles per pood. Russian manufactures, such as nankeens, chintzes, and printed ca licoes. sold well; the Armenians of Tetiis bought luge quantities of them for ready money ,. ; a quantity of Russian woollen cloths was bought for Ktachta, an Asia. We do not yet know the prices of raw hales, of which 250,000 have been bought, or of potatoes, of which there are 100,0.0 puoda in the fair. We publish to-day a Pastoral Letter from Cardinal Parttime, Patriarch of Lisbon. It is in many respects a highly interesting and important document, and is wel l calculated to allay the fears of those ardent admirers of legi timacy, selto would rather reject a aood thing than accept it in a manner that should, in the least, compromise that, their favourite dogma. The Rev. Patriarch, therefore, draws a powerful contrast between the Constitution of the Cortes of (522, when the kingly authority was set at nought, and that which has just emanate,' from tire spontaneous and un coerced will of the Sov E &stow himself ; and independently of the variations between the two in their fundamental provisions, he contrives most adroitly to ascribe the prin cipal, indeed, we may say the whole merit, beauty, and efficacy of the latter, to the fact of its being the free unbought gift of the KING, in whom, by the laws of the State, the sole legislative power resided. This Pastoral Letter is altogether a calm and dignified piece of reasoning, and will tin doubt as mach distiarb the nerves of the infatuated FERDINAND, and his pitiable associates, as it will serve to strengthen and confirm the constitu tional principles of the whole Portuguese nation. One fact is better than twenty arguments in support of any system ; and as that regarding unrestricted commerce proceeds towards maturity, we have no doubt that similar facts to the one we are about to eta* will be afforded in abundance, as a corroboration of the soundness of the ar guments advanced in favour of non-restrictive measures. We jesterday conversed with an operative lacettnann facturer, who is just returned from France, in eons.- THE BRITISH PRESS. confess that we were not prepared to hear of such a result from it as the one we have stated in any of its branches, during the short period it has been in operation ; and we were somewhat sceptical, not as to the statement relative to the reduction of wages in France, but as to the continu ance, at this moment, of the sale of Nottingham lace un der the price of that made in Normandy and Manly ; and we therefore pointedly 'glad the individual in question, who has been practically engaged in the lace manufacture these thirty year*, if he did not consider this an experiment of some speculators attempting to force a market prema turely before a fair opening was offered to them His re ply was, that he knew the goods were selling at a fair pro• Bt ; and as to its being en experiment, it certainly, in his judgment, was by no means a rash one, or put in execu tion without due information ; for the articles were admi rably selected for French customers, and there appeared to be every symptom of permanence about the trade that was carrying on to that part of France where he was residing. The advocates for fencing trade with restrictions may shake their heads in derision of arguments ; but we know not how they are to get rid of a fact like the one before us. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. The gradual state of improvement in Consols which has existed for the last few days has in nowise abated to-day. At the opening of the market they were 791, and with various trifling deviations, as bargains were made one way or the other, finally closed at 801 # for money, and 80# for the Account. Exchequer Bills have receded one shilling per cent., no doubt from the prospect of a large supply being shortly to make their appearance in the market. In India Bonds there is no alteration. A sage report was bandied about that the Messrs. ROTHSCHILD, Baron and Esquires, bad it in contemplation, by a combined and si multaneous movement, to raise the price of the Funds of every State in Europe, and for this purpose, as well as the solemnization of marriages, a meeting of the " Adelphi " has taken place. No doubt can be entertained of the power of these gentlemen to operate upon the Funds in the various capitals in which they practise; but that a per sonal meeting was necessary for the purpose is not so very apparent. It is to be presumed that this report is in tended as an agreeable piece of pleasantry. The cause of the advance in the British Funds arises from the gradual state of improvement in manufactures and commerce; and, further, from the confidence which is felt in his MAJESTY'S Government, in consequence of their having perservered in the wise and salutary measure of opening the ports—a measure, the advantages resulting from which are shown by the demand which has occurred for Colonial produce, as well as home manufactures, instead of the payment in specie for the imported articles, as some alarmists contended would be the case. The Foreign Market has been in a highly feverish state the whole day. Mexican Bonds—the present 200-horse power machine of the Foreign Exchange—opened at 66, but __ _ shortly afterwards, in consequence of some realizing, and reports, via France, of an unfavourable nature, but which were goundless, fell to 62 ; at the close of the market, how ever, buyers became more confident, and they closed at 631 64. Colombian were affected nearly in the same pro portion, having been done at 331, went down to 36, and finally rallying to 37, the only cause for which was the same that had operated on the Mexican. Chilian Bonds are in action at 44 45, and the confidence of the market seems completely restored in respect to them. It is quite clear that these Transatlantic Securities have been subjected to unmeshed depression, and that by the very parties who once were their greatest friends. It is true that payment of the Colombian Dividend has not taken place, but the unfortunate failure of the agent of this Government must be borne in mind. It is not likely, however, that it will much longer remain in arrear, as it is understood from high authority that a communication in respect to thesn will shortly take place. Nothing can be snore certain than that M. Hu RTADO'S signature, at foot of an announcement even of a prospective nature, would be highly satisfactory. In Greek and Spanish the variations are of a vtry trifling nature, and little or nothing doing; and Shares of all de scriptions are very flat. There has been a good deal of business done in the Corn Market, but the supply of imported Grain has not proved so large to-day as was expected. Oats are one shilling dearer. Wheat, according to the variation in quality, is from one to two shillings cheaper. In other grain there is little variation. The Earl of Guildford has left town for the lonian Islands, of which his Lordship is Governor. Despatches were received yesterday, at the Foreign Office in Downing-street, from the Right Hon. Frederick Lamb, our Ambassador at Madrid. Advices from Lisbon inform us that a report was in circulation of the intention of Spain to establish a Cordon Sanitaire, to be composed of all the Royal Guards. Accounts are in town, by the way of Bourdeaux, from the Havaunah, of the Sth August, by which we learn that General Laborde, who had returned from his first expedi don, was about to set out on a second, with one sail of the line, five frigates, and several corvettes. 'f heir destination Is not known. Letters have been received at Havannah from Vera Crus : they state that a vessel from Bonnleans bad ar rived there with Spanish passengers, and that they were obliged to re-embark by order of the Mexican Government They then sailed for the United States. • ATTEMPTED FRATRICIDE.—On Sunday afternoon the neighbourhood of Rotherhithe was thrown into a state Of alarm by a widely circulated report of an attempted feat tricide. The anxiety on the spot where it took place was materially increased by the appearance of a man half-un dressed, and in a beastly state of intoxication, uttering the most shocking epithets, and making the most blas phemous oaths. He was armed with a large clasp-knife, which, as well as his hand, was covered with blood. On his first appearance, several ineffectual attempts were made by the bystanders to control his passion; and it was not until the approach of a constable of the vicinity, who made an appearance of having fire-arms about him, that the wretched man was secured. Upon inquiry, it turned out that his name was John Croning, and that the person upon whom he attempted the act which created the alarm was James Croning, his brother. For some time past they had been employed on the same establishment as labourers, and had lived very comfortably together. John Croning •. • In - luence of BOW queuce of his not being able to procure work there. He was married, and James not. . con!eqt supposed familiarities between James Cron ing and John went out last spring, with several other lace-weavers, from Croning's wife, the latter had made two or three efforts to a manufactory in the Borough, and on their arrival in induce the former to quit his house, but without effect. France they were instantly employed at high wages ; most efficient English workmen earning from three to four th e On Sunday morning the subject was again mooted, and each of them, having too freely expended their Saturday night's receipts at a neighbouring public-house, were vio guineas per week. But, since the opening of the ports, the lently irritated. Threats were succeeded by blows, when Nottingham lace has been imported into France so freely, John Croning, having the advantage of the other, seised and at such a low price, as to enable the manufacturers of the knife which h e now e xhibited, and inflicted several it to undersell those of France ; and the consequence is, severe wounds upon his adversary about the body, and par that wages in the manufacture of lace in that country have tiincutol:rh 7 . 7 the t arms.

FRENCH PAPERS. SEPT. 4. LISIBOW, PASTORAL LETTER OF THE CARDINAL PATRIARCH Of LISION• Since Divine Providence has constituted us raptor of the import ant Bock whose safety it hes committed to us, my well-beloved children, you cannot fail to be the objects dearest to my heart, which is afflicted and men with a fear of seeing some of the sheep wander- log from the field of eternal felicity. In the existing crisis of the new form, and of the new political order, my fear increases, because illusion and error can make a blessing be considered as an evil, a benefit as a loss, and the im provement of oar ancient institutions as their overthrow, and entire abolition, by rendering you besides distrustful of the safety of the holy religion which we profess, and sowing among you the seeds of discord, capable of bursting the bonds of Christian society, and of producing monstrous and atrocious crimes. Yes, it Is thus that turbu lent spirits will endeavour by dexterous impostures to indispose you against the constitutional charter, wise and well.fratned, which our august Sovereign Pedro IV., casting benevolent regard upon the Por tuguese nation, has deigned to send us from the distant regions be yond the Atlantic, to coastitute our happiness, and to consolidate our greatest interests. I cannot but acknowledge the powerful influence of uniformity, or, at least, the great resemblance be tween the two Governments, to draw closer and closer the bonds of friendship between two allied and independent nations—the Porto, guese and the Brazilians—and the better to establish between them ancient relations, with reciprocal advantages, greater and more favourable. It is thus that the King, in his profound wisdom, has thought and acted. But the genius of evil and of seduction, opposed to truth and public tranquillity, is desirous of making you believe that the il. legal and proscribed constitution of 1822 is going to be established in the constitutional charter of this year, and that, after having fallen, it is about tube raised. Can such an imposture, dearly beloved children, seduce you, and lead you to rebellion and disobedience to your Sovereign ? Will you consent that they should sport with your reason ? It is very easy to discover by yourselves the artful snare which has been laid for you. Compare the new constitution with the new charter which his Majesty gives you, and you will acknowledge at once that they are in perfect opposition in their principles, in their essence, and in their results. The constitution of 1822 was, as you know, the work of a rebel lious faction, which usurped the sovereign power, and arrogated to itself the right of disposing of the nation and its destinies. The Cortes, convoked by it without legitimate authority, could not re. ceive that authority from those who had it not to bestow. On the contrary, the charter of April 19 descends from the height of the Throne. It is dictated by the spontaneous will of our august Sovereign, who, in vii tue of our ancient laws, possesses in himself the legislative power. The constitution, by the shock of the elements which composed it, disorganised the monarchy to its foundations, overthrew all its ancient institutions, and annihilated the rights and privileges of the ranks and hierarchies of society. It invaded the right of property, which it had promised to defend, and debased the ancient throne of our Kings, whom it had stripped of their sovereignty, as far as the most revolutionary reform coulJ go. The new charter, so far from invading the rights of the nation, maintains and revives its ancient institutions, preserves the rights, the privileges, and the social hie. rarchies conseera.ed by them, preserves likewise the dignity and splendour of the throne, and separates from supreme power what. ever can render it odious, while it gives guarantees to the cit'sens for their individual safety, and for their properties. It is in all its parts the work of a father who desires the happiness and the well being of his children. The constitution of 1822 had only created one national represent- ation, to which almost only the members of one of the three orders of the state would have been called. From this it would naturally have resulted that the interests of the two others would have been left without defenders ; but all the three orders were called by the charter of the natiemal representation, and concurred to form two distinct assemblies, which will protect and encourage, by all the means is their power, the interests of all classes, and the genera l welfare. In fine, dais charter is nothing but the improvement of the ancient political constitution, and of the fundamental laws which served as a basis to our representative Government. What then is wanting to it? At different epochs long since passed the Portuguese people besought• their Kings to assemble the Cores at certain fixed periods, and even King John I. was suppli. coed to convoke them every year; but the humble prayers of the nation did not receive a favourable hearing, and it is Don Pedro IV. who is the first of cur Kings to satisfy the ancient prayers of the people, and granting them, with a generous heart, what their an. cient Monarchs had denied. The generosity of his Majesty eve a goes further, for he even grants to the new Cortes legislative powers. whilst the ancient ones possessed only consultative rights, sithout, however, prostittiting in any way by this glorious concession the supreme power of the rights of the sovereignty. Finally, a Monarch so Christian and so religious could not !me sight of the religion of our ancestors, of which by our Ministry we are the hest sentinel, and in the very first articles of the con. stitutional charter we find it declare the religion of the State, and place it under the protection of the Sovereign authority and of the laws. Is any thing further neceastry, me faithful flock, to demonstrate to your satisfaction, and to convince your hearts, that the charter granted by his Majesty is altogether different from the Constitution of the Cortes, and that this work of the august wisdom of our Pa. ternal Monarch perfects our ancient Constitution, and procures new advantages to the Portuguese nation ? Let calumny and imposture then be confounded—let timid, minds be re-assured—let us reply to the greatness of the benefit by an obedience, by our loyalty, and by a fidelity without limit. The Chester has opened to you the path of happiness, foltow t., be obedient and faithful, and experience will demonstrate the advantages of the new political order. Union and obedience, two precepts of the divine laws, are the basis of the social edifice, with. out which it falls int) ruins. On them depends the eternal and temporal happintas of men. They form the doctrines of the Gospel, and they are the greatest of all blessings, as discord is the greatest of all evils. Nevertheless, this union, which of a nation makes one Family, and which we recommend so ear. neatly, is impossible without a prompt and faithful obedience tothe sovereign authority ; and our Saviour Jesus Christ preached and practised it, and his disciples ought it to the whole world, as the fi rst and the most sacred of human du. ies. A society without subordination would be an assemblage of mon sters, always ready to devour each other. The fury of ambi tion and of the other passions would extend every where hatred and vengeance; and the pride of dominion, in oppressing weakness without resistance, would constrain the peaceable inhabitant to con. teal himself in the bosom of his family. In tine, we should see on all hands only calamities. My well-betoved children; regard with horn:Tr - rebellion, disobe thence, and discord, so fatal to all nations and to all Governments. Do not call down upon your heads the sufferings of those who, re volting against their King, and against supreme authority. become criminal before God and before men. lou can only collect the fruits which will result from the new Constitutional Charter by obeying It, and showing yourselves grateful towards ham who ha given it. Do not allow yourselves to be misled by the shameful example of some madmen. Pity them, and pray for them, that they may return to the road of honour, and that they may enter on the most sacred duty which religion imposes on them.

CHELTENHAM, SEPT. 16. -,...5..-- We have been fuller of company during the la s t t h ree weeks than we have been for a simir period of time during all the season, more particularly last week. The sub.. scriptions at the different Spas for this week have been equal to near a month's subscriptions at any other time.... The great influx is mainly attributable to the attraction caused by the grand musical festival at Gloucester, which is distant only about nine miles. For some days there ham been a continued line of carriages to and from Gloucester, yesterday in particular; the principal part of the company, and the leading families in this part of the county, left for that place. Although they arrived at the Cathedral an hour before the performance commenced they could not procure seats, notwithstanding there were a number tune cupied ; but it was intimated they had been reserved for the friends of the stewards; this, of course, excited the indig. nation of those who had travelled a &number of miles to contribute towards the support of alai charity: they ex. pressed their displeasure at being thus treated, maintaining, in the language of an old saying, that, " First come should be first served?' Among our latest arrivals are the Marquis of Aylesbury, the Marchioness of Westmeath, and Lord Porchester. The Promenade at the Montpellier Spa has been ex ceedingly crowded in the mornings between balf-past 8 and 10 o'clock, the time during which the principal part of the company are drinking the saline water. An excel. lent band of wind instruments plays during the whole time. The days having materially shortened, the bands of the King's Ohl Well, and the Sherbourne Spa, hive disconti.. nued playing in the walks in the evening, but play in the afternoon between three and five o'clock. _ _ The weather is now most delightful, and the colipqrceil of the assembled company, &c. is most enchanting. Tuesday, Colonel Berkeley, his brother, and Mr. Banks, performed at the Theatre under the title of amateurs, its the play of Romeo and Juliet, for the benefit of Mrs. C toke. The receipts of the house amounted to upwards of 1501. They are to perform again next Tuesday with Mr. C. Kemble, in new characters, for which puz sgs Mr. to Banks has left for London, purchase new for himself and colleagues to appear in. Mr. C. Kemble perforufed on Thursday evening in the School pr Scandal, when the receipts of the house were between SO/. and 601. Ile is advertised for this evening in Lord Townley, in the Provoked Husband. GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL. ..._...„ The collection for the charity on Thursday morning mounted to about 246 f. On Friday morning the sacred Oratorio of the Messiah was performed at the Cathedral, which, as usual, attracted the most numerous attendance. The doors were opened at nineliclock, and before eight numbers had collated round them for admittance; by ten o'clock very few seats were to be procured, although the performance did not continence till eleven. The weather was very auspicious. Two galleries on each side of the choir were reserved for the friends and favourites of the Stewards, containing rt o each ; they consisted principally of ladies elegantly dressed. Among the few exceptions were the Duke of Beaufort, Earl Bathurst, Lord Edward Somerset, and the Marquis of Worcester. The Marquis of Lansdown was among the other distinguished persons who attended the meeting. The Cathedral was so extremely thronged, that the high vaultings were nearly filled, at least the fronts were so, se. veral rows deep, and it was understood there were about 1,300 present. The performance was opened by Mr. Brabant. Mad. Caradori sang a Recitative and an Air. Although thislatty is a highly-finished musician and singer, she has not re attained a su ffi cient knowledge of Handers music to give it a proper effect, and she sang the Air, " Rejoice greatly," to a disadvantage, as it was one in which Mrs. Salmon eminently excelled. Miss Stephens sang with her usual sweetness of voice, but appeared to be indisposed. Miss Travis, Mr. Knyvett, and Mr. Vaughan, sung very chastely. Mr. Phillips appeared to much greater advantage in the Airs in the Messiah than in any other music at the meet. ing, and aequitted himstif very well. The choruases were very powerful, effective, and correct. The fugue to the Amen was given admirably, anti it was the opinion of the oldest performers in the orchestra that they never heard the Mow:kilt better performed. In the evening there was a miscellaneous concert in the Shire Hall, which concluded with "God save the King." TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. Stil,Allo l9 me to occupy a short space in your widely circulated paper, in calling the attention of the public to. the present favourable opportunity of effecting one of the greatest improvements ever suggested in the city o: London. I will briefly state I have a plan which I have submitted to the inspection of many respectable individuals, as well as to the Committee of Improvements, for the fotmetion of a new street, from the new London-bridge to Cornhill, oppo site to the end of Princes-street. _ . It will be necessary, perhaps, that I should allude to a part of the line. I therefore propose that the houses, Nos. 1,2, 3, and 4, in Cornbill, and a small portion of the Globe Insurance Office in Lombard-street, be taken down, as part of the site of the intended new street ; then taking the vacant ground in front of St. Mary Woolnoth's Tower, part of Sherborn-lane, and part of the present Post-office to Abchurch-lane, to the east of Abchurch, crossing the said lane to the north of the White Hart Inn, to the cor ner of • Nicholas-lane ; thence crossing Cannon-street, be twixt Lawrence Pounincy-lane and Martin's-lane, to the church-yard of the late French Protestant church ; thence acreu Miles's-lane to the corner of Fishmonger'-hall in Thames-street. The street to this point will be direct ; then by the aide of the Hall to the foot of the New Bridge. The houses between the river and Thames -street, on the line 1 propose, are about to be taken down ; the Church that did stand in Martin's-lane is already down, not to be rebuilt; the Post-office will be taken down, or in part dis posed of; and, as it belongs to Government, may be ob tained on easy terms, as the object sought for is improve ment. The large vacant space in Lombard-street, with the other preperty at present standing on the proposed line, relatively of small value. there not being a single public building throughout, seem to invite an immediate undertaking of the proposed street, which will be rendered necessary by the certainty of a greatly increased intercourse between Southwark and the city when the New Bridge is completed. Many minor objects, yet iu themselves of great importance, occur to my mind, hut which I must reserve until a public meeting is held on the subject. I also suggest the formation of a Colonnade from Bar tholomew-lane to Mourgate, agreeably to my printed circular of February last, not lees necessary than the street 'above alluded to; but as entering into detail would occupy too large a apace in your columns, I conclude by observing that the public may inspect the plans at my office. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, PETER JEFFERY. 01, Cheapside, 18th Sept. 1828. The Duke of York was prevented, — yesterday, from tak ing his daily airing, by the unfavourable state of the wea ther. Sir Herbert Taylor and Sir Henry Torrene trans. acted military business yesterday with his Royal Higlintss. The usual medical attendants visited the Royal Duke. The last news received from the Duke of Clarence, who is in Germany, is of an alarming nature.
