We have receive& the French Papers of Friday, and the Ftoile of Saturday. By an article in the latter (taken from the rtilversal Gazette) it is stated that Samos had surren dered to the Capitan Pacha, but no authority is given for t4;l statement. The praeedings of the English Own mittee, it will be seen by the (Attracts we give below, are 1130 the subject of observation. Portugal, by all accounts, is in a state of tranquillity. The Spanish Government have instructed their Ambassador at Lisbon to intercede er. behalf of the persons who deserted the Portuguese ire, and sought refuge in Spain; hut nothing definitive tint known regarding the fate of these people. The • :!eaties between the two governments stipulate for an ex :..ange of deserters without any conditions ; this interfer ence, therefore, on the part of Spain, sufficiently indicates t:te feelings of that government as it respects the recent castors in Portugal. Perfoct tranquiility reigns through nut the Portuguese provinces, without even excepting fras-os-Montes, against which had been dirt eted the united • efforts of all the intrigues of the Spanish and Portuguese ' Apestoliques. The following are extracts: iFrout the JNlreat der Debats.l 31ADRID i SEPT. 5. General Rodil, late Commmdant of Callao, lass arrived at ,Ccrogne. The Gazette, in announcing his arrival, makes, Cle rame of the King, the moat magnificent praises of lis loyalty, and of his noble dints to save the place in trusted to his command. In his paternal gratitude, the King has . published in the Guzrtte (after repeating the draw of the 17th Dec., • *Licit raised the General to the rank of Field Marshal), that by ~ret':er decree, dated the 3d instant, the King had inve,ted him %;:h :he Royal American Order of the Grand Cross of Isabella the i7olie.

The news from Smyrna, dated the nth cf August, state that they have learnt, by an extraordinary communication. that Samos had •Itintardy submitted to the Carit:m Paella, to whom six Primates and a Bishop were sent as hostages. Lord Cochrane was at .Messina, where he expected the steam- NtISTI6, which had not arrived so won as he thought they would. the English Committee had wri:ten to him that they were going to yarehase a steam.vetwl, the Valentine, which is at London.

Colonel Stanhope, to whom the Duke Da!berg deputed the power acting on hie behalf, has written to the French Committee, that •t they will appoint a French officer, he shall have the command of .he second vessel. it is really painful to sec how much the very best of causes arc continually at the mercy of men who, whatever tray be their motives, are in their actions most mis- Idevous.

Mr. ELI 1%1 aon Saturday, at the Freemasons Tavern, is that which the best friends of the ociety, and the most strenuous opponents of every • 'ruse of a public trust, would adopt or sanction. — Ire good sense, indeed, of the persons present, soon dis . o:vered th , , , injudicious meddling of the Rev.

Like COllllOl Market has shown some th.gtve of animation ilthough the improvement has keen limited to J per it. ; but the prices have beon higher than during auy - lief part of the *eel:, Consols for Account advancing from the dosing quotation of yesterday, t4179'.;. The impres . -:‘ rather gains ground that the abundance of unem. .)yed capital (which will be augmented by the payment of , • Quarterly Dividends oh Reduced and other Securities :he beginning of next month, amounting to nearly six !lions) will, in spite of any speculations in timebar- Mc, force up the quotations lor :1 per cmt. higher. In afternoon, particularly towards four o'clock, business :aine much more languid, and the last price of Consols Account was 791/. The little attention which is paid to the coalition of the .roue during the present quarter is also looked upon as ''ter a favourable omen, and, according to the reports in *illation to-day, the deEciency, as yet, does not exceed what it amounted to in the previous quarter. falling off is said to be chiefly in the Customs. f he Foreign Market, particularly that part of it adapted the speculations in the Republican Securities, has ex -I,:ted nearly the same scene of bustle and confusiui u it did yesterday. Although every thing was k nown yester day to enhance the value of the Stock, and a retrograde movement appeared probable after so rapid and extensive an advance on the Bonds, they have to-day attained quo tations more than 3 per cent. above what they were sold at yesterday, opening at GU and rising to 65. At this point the Market experienced some change, Mexican Steck re ceding to 631 ; at four o'clock, after a great deal of conten tion, it left off at 611. The flourishing condition of Mexican Bonds has in duced the belief that some change will be made in tire ar 'rangement of Colombian and other Republican Securities, on which the Dividends have not been regularly paid. This opinion has received some countenance from an emi nent loan-contractor, who has, however, little or no con nexion with South American Stock, being already the agent of many of the Continental Powers; and, thus situated, it would be inconsistent in him, as well as Impolitic, to be engaged with any free Governments. Under such an im pression, the Colombian Boas have advanced considerably, •and nearly in the sante proportion as Mexican, as far as 'regards th&transsctions of to-day. Yesterday afternoon Colombian left off at 35, and have to-day advanced to 38. No particular house Has been 'tamed as being likely to become the future ag ents of the last-mentioned Stock, nor is any ding further known than what we have just stated. 'the Closing quotation of Colombian was 38, thete having been only a very slight re-action downwards on the rise. The reports respecting the payment of the Dividends on Chilian, fixed for the 3Jth inst...continue favourable, and they have been 'sold to-day at 49 for money, and 44 for the Account. As the Mexican Stock Las now been placed on so good a footing, it will, for the future, be subject to less thectuation ; and speculation is more likely to revert to Chilian and other Bonds. There have been some purchasers in Russian Bonds u high as 831, for the next settling day. Danish and Prus sian are likewise nominally about f per cent. higher. One failure was announced to-day at the Foreign Stuck Market, in consequence of the rapid advance in Mexican Stock, of which the defaulter, whose name is Smith, had been what is technically tethicti a Bear. His differences are not extensive. An English.Zournal says that Mr. T, Moore, who had the inconceivable weakness of burning the Memoirs which Lord Byron had intrusted to him for publi-2xtion, is now disposed to publish the life of that illustrious poet, to be placed at the head of s new and splendid edition of his works, which► is preparing by Murray, the bookseller. We hope that in this work Mr. Moore will in some degree make reparation for his wrongs towards the public, and that he will indemnify it for so severe a loss. We trust also that he will even have the courage to call to his aid his recol lections of the reading of the Memoir of Lord Byron, and that he will even brave the anger and prudery of Lady: Byron, her sister, end of all the family. In short, we trust that the author of the Corshir, Childs Harold, and of Don Juan, will inspire him better than the memory of Sheridan.—_i French Paper. MESSRS. WE N TWORTH AND CO.'s BANE ITUrTCY:•-• We have the satisfaction of informing our readers that tbe Birthwaite estate, including the mittaals,' eke. late the property of Mr. Rishworth, has been sold to Colonel and' Mrs. Beaumont for 50,000/. Possession, however, is not to be given till next February, and of course die will not be paid till that titno. This sale will not, therefore, increase the amount of the fleet dividend, but will form the basis of the second payment to the creditors, which it is probable will be made early in the spring of next fear.— Wake/dal Journal. The bank of Messrs. Dobson and. Son, Huddersfield, commenced the payment of their first divivend, of five shillings in the pound, on Thursday last.., Passeo s ELECTlON.—Aprivate meettog of electors who are dissatisfied with the late return of members to serve in Parliament fur this borough took place at the Shelley's Arms, on Wednesday evening last, to-tortilla, win un-, derstand, what steps they should take in order to nullify the election, and procure a fresh display of that wanton pro tfigacy of principle, false swearing, drunkenness, and riot ing, which the most virtuous anal moral people in Europe. arc accustomed to regard 'with unconcern, if not with fa vour, upon occasions when they ate called upon to appoint suitahle•persons to make laws for them. Not being in favour ourselves with persons who support • these abutes, and having no desire for frequent elections, upon the pre sent system of conducting them, we were not admitted to the deliberations of our discontented fellow -townsmen, on this occasion ; we cannot, therefore, report at large what occurred at the meeting, nor have we learnt precisely what resolutions were agreed upon.—Preston Chronicle. INTERESTING RELIC.—G. W. Counsel, Esq. of this city, has in his possession a valuable sapphire ring, which was the property of King Charles the 1 irst, and was given by that Monarch, just before his execution, to Juxon, Bishop of London, who attended him op the see/Vold. The Bishop married a lady of the tultne of Hillier, in whose family it has been carefully preserved ever since as a most precious relic. Mrs. Bubb, whose maiden name was Hil lier, gave it toiler niece, Mrs. Bayly, the wife of the Rev. Francis Turner Ilayly, rector of the parish of St. John the Baptist, who presented it to Mr. Counsel as a mark of her friendship anal esteem. Charles the First married Hen rietta, sister to Louis the Thitteenth, King of France, to whom the rir.g originally belonged. The Fletirs-de-his with which it is ornamented fully corroborate the fore going facts. USEFUL INVENTION —An instrument is about to be en graved, recently invented by the teacher of the High School of Limekilns, which will be of very great practical utility in tnathematies, but particularly in navigation. It is called the " Nautical Pnamctron," or seaman's portable correct calculator. It is a most ingenious yet simple anti accurate instrument, anal does great honour to the inventor. By one operation it shows both the difference of latitude and de parture—and with more correctness and in one-tenth of the time than can be done by any instrument or table yet published. It is sa constructed that every distance, dif ference of latitude and departure, is ascertained from one *hundredth part of a mile to one thousand miles, ad infini. tune. I t has been submitted to the trial and examination of several experienced seamen, besides mathematicians, who are all of opinion that it cannot fail in being highly ser viceable in facilitating that difficult and important part of navigation.

I I.—" The two ladies cited to appear before our Bench of Magistrates, at the Town Hall, this day, from No. 24, New Steyne, charged with living in a disorderly house, took a precipitate departure h a night. Mr. Barrow, in consluence, applied fo but which the Bench, in unequivocal terms, refused to grant. Mr. Barrow, with great warmth, would have replied to the Bench, but the Magistrates would not hear him. The names of the ladies, as stated in the eitements, were Lang don and Forrest; the latter has obtained notoriety as Mrs. Forbes, and by living with the late Mr. Fauntkroy. They kept their carriage at 21, New Steync ; their manner was that of perfect gentlewomen ; and, but for the interference of Mr. 8., it does nut appear likely that there would bare been any complaint against them. Ilow far the present complaint has been deserved may be made to appear here after." The Brig Von Herald, in reference to this affair, says— " Mrs. Forrest*, one of the ladies who figures in the present paragraph, is no other than Mrs. Forbes, the beautiful and fascinating mistress of the late unfortunate Mr. Fauntle roy. The number of females altogether in the house was at least ten, all of them, save one, young and elegant, and possessed of considerable charms.

The latter denies the fact of criminal intercourse with the plaintiff's lady, and accounts for the suspicions which are entertained by stating that his duty to his patient required those attentions which placed him in situa tions which are deemed equivocal. He moreover states, that but for matrimonial infidelity on the part of the plain tiff, his professional attendance would not have been re quired, and that the infidelity of the plaintiff had produced effects which, acquainted as he was with them, would have made the act which he is now charged with committing, one of madness and certain ruin. The most disgusting dis closures are threatened. The parties have been married only two years, and the defendant is a married man with a family. flaw:tow ASCVNT.-Mr. Graham, who has twice be fore mode ascents from Bristol, again gratified the inhabi tants by one from the neighbourhood of Temple-street, on Wednesday last. About a quarter past five in the after noon, the balloon rose majestically into the air, but owing to the clouded state of the atmosphere, it remained in sight only about ten minutes, when it was completely obscured in a dense cloud. About ten minutes before six the Aero nauts, who consisted of Mr. Graham, a Mr. Bayley, a friend of Mr. G.'s, and a third person, a Mr. IVest, a clerk in the office of Mr. G. Booth, of Btistol, made their first descent on the grounds of Sir Bethel Codrington, near Iron Acton. The grappling irons, which were thrown out, did nut catch the ground, but Mr. West jumped out when about four feet therefrom, in consequence of which, the Balloon again rose and carried Mr. G. and his companion about four miles, when they descended in perfect safety, with, we should apprehend, little to gratify either their cu riosity or their pockets. Mr. Green ascended in his magnificent balloon from Stamford, on Monday last, accompanied by two young gentlemen from that place.. The ascent was very delight ful, and being a clear day, the balloon was seen in its course S.E. at the distance of many miles round. It de scended near Whittlesea-mere, and the parties returned to Stamford the same evening. A very large concourse of respectable company were present at the inflation and ascent. WHIMSICAL. AFFAIIR.—A rather ludicrous circumstance occurred on Sunday se'nnight, at the parish church of Haslingden, at which the Rev. Mr. Gray (a gentleman whose misunderstanding in his magisterial capacity with the military led to some discussion at the time of the late power-loom riots in that neighbourhood) is the officiating minister, He was reading the Litany, and had just pro nounced the words, " from battle, murder, and sudden death," and the clerk was in the act of responding, " Good Lord deliver us," when a small portion of the stucco work fell from the ceiling into the pulpit. The grcat pert of the congregation, being in the attitude of prayer, did not see the plaster fall, but finding a sudden cessation in their wor thy pastor's addtess, they lifted up their eyes, and beheld him in the act of making a most unceremonious exit out of the pulpit. Of course the majority of the congregation followed his example, thinking that, at least, "the Church was in danger," if not coming down about their ears. A very few persons, of whom the clerk was one, remained in the buildin,g. It was full ton minutes before the Minister and congregation were sufficiently re-assured to admit of divine service being resumed ; when, after the conclusion of the Litany, the I tilt Psalm was given out, whether de signedly or not, of course we cannot say ; that it was tolerably appropriate will, however, be admitted, since it commences with the following verse:— - "Since I have p?acni my Intel in God. A rtf , gc always nigh, Why Autthl I, like a Omorons tint, To distant mountains fly ? Drat..—At an early hour on Saturday morning, a duel was fought on Finchley-common, between Captain B. and W. G. D., Eaq which arose in consequence of the latter gentleman making use of some severe reflections oil the character of a celebrated actress (performing at the Hay market Theatre) at a club-house in St. James's-street. Both parties fired, and the shots not taking effect, the se-ronds declared themselves satisfied, and thus ti►e affair terminated. DONCASTER RACES. DONCASTER, SATUIDAr. The present important crisis in the sporting world mu st render every species of information acceptable whi c h connected with, or has relation to, the events of the ensuing week ; more particularly to thoso who, fr om var i ous causes, are unable to be personal witnesses of the different eircun. stances which are incident on or precede a racing m ethrin , like Doncaster. Much anxiety always Exists as t o 4 number of horses to start for the St. Leger, their name., and, more especially, the jockeys to ride them, as bets to a large amount are always depending on either of th,,,, events; the odds, too, against a horse, are materially in. fluencerl by the opinion entertained of the skill and Let t . grity of the rider. We have therefore taken souse pains n, procure the most correct intelligence on these points, am olin Day are enabled thus early to submit the subjoined statement of the horses, which, it is confidently asserted, will start on Tuesday next, with their jockeys:— HORSES TO START. u n i a Y I t o cb n i au ' r a t eg b ri I .. ?s e 7 1 .I f a 'r c i ll k s i n i b l y' l ,I. : I' y r o t 'Cramp—,l.e Octav i an—unknownrto d f bec er k b 4 —J t i vi a .)) ) ib l . .o loani r jor d A A y : (a) Sir J.
