But it would be superfluous to follow out such a doctrine as the above to the full absurdity of its cotclutions; tre should not even think it worth while - to discuss them, did we not know that, preposterous as they are, they are not without their effect. CITY, Tirtsnay Evvalgo. Consols opened 'firmly this morning at 885 i ; but some heavy sales were made, which produced a decline to Ili, and afterwards to /1, at which price they left off. For a few minutes there were sellers at ; but just before the close of the day the market assumed a much more steady appearance than it did Porn two to half-past three. To ac count for this unexpecteddepression in the British funds the most ridiculous report was sent forth—that Russia was im mediately to march against the Turks, and that this country was about to take steps to prevent the movement. The fact is, we believe, that the decline in Consols arose en tirely from internal operations in the market, and was chiefly to be attributed to an alteration in the appearance of the account, which produced a great many sales, in themselves comparatively unimportant, but collectively making an imprettion unfavourable to the price of Con sols. Exchequer Bills were at 43. As. premium. Money was rather more difficult to-Jay. The Foreign Market was by no means so cheerful as it was yesterday. Greek Scrip was latil discount, although it is still positively asserted that Lord Cochrane is going to their assistance. Spanish Bonds were at yesterday's quota tion, as were Columbian Bonds anti Guatemala Scrip. Mexican Scrip, in which very large transactions occurred, was not held so lightly to-day : it was quoted at 9 81 discount. Brazilian Scrip also declined to 13i 8 discount; whilst the Danish improved, and was reported at 61} discount. Jobbers in the Share market were principally engaged in bargaining for Brazilian Mining Shares, at 211 3; and for Potosi Shares, at it premium. sales of Sugar were made, at The German Papers publish the following account of the disciplined troops in the service of the Viceroy of Egypt. It is contained in a letter from Alexandria, dated September 20 :—" The troops that sailed from this place in February for the Aforea consisted of two regiments of infantry (8,000 men) and one of cavalry (1,000 men). They had been well trained by French officers. In the troops now at Alexandria the whites and blacks are mixed together in each company. The soldiers wear exceedingly tight habiliments, with pantaloons and gaiters, and a kind of little cap. The whole of this uniform is made of red linen. None of them, not even the officers. use stockings ; end it is seldom that you meet a soldier with even a pair of shoes. The arms are a musket and its bayonet, with a Vhapsacic; the subalterns also carry swords. The officers are dressed in the same manner as the soldiers, and their rank is only distinguished by stripes worked in the stuff" In the New York papers we find the following de scription of the singular retreat, in which the unfortunate Greek Chieftain, Odysseus, used to conceal himself. It is written by Dr. Howe, who went from Boston to join the Greek army :—" This cave, or castle, is one of the greatest natural curiosities in the world; it is a cave in the air, if I may sn call it. The only way of getting access to the mouth of it, is by ascending a precipice of2oo feet, by four ladders, Or of which is drawn up before the other is let down. The interior will bold a small body of troops very conveniently. Ulysses had stocked it with ammunition and provisions for ten years. It is absolutely impregnable, the -entrance being so formed, that no cannon shot or shell can enter. In the interior is a fine spring of water, which it is impossible to cut off." We have received Piedmontese Gusettes to the 2d inst. They contain no intelligence 'from Italy, and tre princi pally confined to the notice of internal affairs. Naples is providing for keeping up its navy, and new roads facilitate the intercourse between Genoa and Piedmont. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the sth inst. states, on the authotity of letters from Corfu, dated the 11th of last month, that the Greek insurrection in Candia was making great progress, and that 2,900 inhabitants of the Greek Islands had landed there, and brought the insurgents am munition and provisions. The master of the Intrepid, which arrived at Milford from Alexandria, states that there had been rejoicings at Grand Cairo for five days, supposed on account of a victory gained by tl.. Turks over the Greeks. jp Cittu —The Congress of Chili, after various turbulent proceedings, and the succession of two-thirds of the mem bers, was dissolved by the Supreme Director, Ramon Freire, on the 17th May. A Provisional Assembly was to be elected.—Boston Centinel. The news we published yesterday from India was, as we stated, brought by the Swedish ship Calcutta, Captain Hjelm. This vessel is the property of the newly-esta blished Swedish East India Company, and is the first of them which has completed a trading voyage from Sweden to Calcutta and back. She sailed from Stockholm in November last. Considerable opposition at present exists between the French and English vesscls which run between Dover and Calais. This has led to a reduction of the fares on the days the French vessels run. We believe, however, that the English boats have not much reason to fear the competition, 13 our countrymen, who are the principal passengers, generally prefer one of their own vessels. At the funeral ceremony performed a few days back at Ruel, whither the remains of the Empress Josephine had been translated, and deposited in a monument raised by her children, the following circumstance took place:—At the close of the ceremonies, an ex-Officer of Cavalry, and a Knight of the Legion of Honour, clad in deep mourn ing, advanced towards the tomb, holding in his hand a copy of the Mernoires ilistorizes 17myeratsice Jose phine, splentlitny bourfd in to satin. Fie stated, that Mademoiselle Lenormat 1 (the famous fortune-teller), the author of the work, had charged him to place upon the monument the copy of the Menwires, but that he had been refused permission to do so by the Mayor of Ruel and the Intendant of Maltnaison, these functionaries telling him that they had been expressly commanded not to allow any tiling to appear upon the monument but the inscrip tion contained in the royal ordinance. A oorrespondent recommends those persons who propene going to France for the sake of economy, to take up their residence in the Isle of Man, from whence he is just re turned. There eggs are sold at one penny or twopeuce per dozen, ducks and fowls at Is. Bd. the couple; the fittest lamb, mutton, veal, anti beef, at 4d. or bd. per pound ; and all other eatablis in proportion. Wine and spirits, and tea and sugar, arc very cheap, since they pay no duty ; and house rent moderate indeed. There are not any taxes. Faexcu MACHINERY.—A recent invention promises sew success to French industry. A silk loom composed of of five stages has just been ecmstructeti at Lyons. Its mechanism is exceedingly simple, and enables one man so weave five pieces at the same, time. Commissionets from the Lyons Academy have examined this loons in the presence of H. Jacquart, the inventor of the one at present in use in our manufactories, and whose superiority is proved by the eagerness with which the English manufacturers introduced It into their owri'manufactories. That skilfill mechanic, thinks the new loom highly ingenious, and generously pointed out the improvement of which it was susceptible. The inventor's name is Lebrun. The academy intends to award him a gold medal on its approaching public sitting. It is needless to remark that the use of this loom will give a return of four hundred per cent. above the I present price of hand l a b our .—P arW Paper.

Campbell ; Sir H. Turner; Major- Generals Mainwaring, Burk, and Morris ; Sir Thomas flay, and about thirty other military O ffi cers. THE LATE DUCHESS or DORSET'S Witt.—The will of the late Most Noble Arabella Diana Duchess of Dorset was proved in die Prerogative Court of Canterbury, on the 30th ult., by the oaths of the executors, the Honourable Charles Cecil Cope Jenkinson (the brother), and Samuil Forster, Esq. '1 he whole of the real estate is given in moieties to her Grace's cons-in-law, the Earls of Plymouth and De-la-Warr, for their lives, and afterwards to her daughters, their Countesses, and their rrapective issue. The furniture, pictures, and other ornamental articles, at Knole and Buckhurst, which she had power to dispose of, are directed to be sold ; the produce to be applied in the purchase of freeholds, to be settled in the like manner ; the residue of the personal estate is to be similarly applied. The testator's plate, diamonds, and personal ornaments are all given to her daughter, Lady De-la-Warr ; and it is u signed as a reason for so bequeathing them, that the Coun tess of Plymouth is alrgßy possessed of all requisite arti cles of that nature. There is a codicil, containing chiefly annuities and other bequests to friends, and apparently ser vants and former pensiorers of her Grace; also 300/. each to her sisters, the Countesses of Ahoyne and Verulam • 1001. to her brother, the Hon. Mr. shorkinsoa ; and 300/. to Mr. Forster, as a compensation for his trouble as execu tor. She desires to he hurled as plainly as possible, in the family vault at Withingham Church. The will is dated the tlth of June 1823. The personal property was sworn under 80,0001. Miss Foote played again at the Edinburgh theatre on Wednesday se nnight, and appeared in the character of Lady Teazle on Thursday. In the latter she was not quite so happy as in Letitia Hardy, but in both she was well received by full houses, and the show of ladies in the dress tilde has increased. The opposition to hor has sub sided, but whether it has fallen of itself, or been con quered by the fascination of her appearance, and the pro priety of her deportment, we pretend not to decide. HENDERSOH,-THE COMEDIAN.—When Henderson, the celebrated comedian, first made application to Garrick, and gave him " a specimen of his quality," the Rosoitut as sured him, that be could not possibly convey articulate sounds to the audience of any theatre. Foote slid nearly the same thing. Colman at length took ILnderson by the hand ; and such tuns the success of the man, who could not possibly convey an articulated sound, that during the first thirty-four nights of his performance at the Hay market, the net receipts were computed at no less a sum than 4.3001. Mr. Crossdill, the celebrated violoncello player, who is just dead, came over from Paris in July, 1821, to be pre sent as an instrumental performer at the Coronation—he having also been engaged at that of George 111. He was the owl present (prof s essionally engaged) who had surviv the long lapse of 61 years. Mr. Hoar AND THE OPERATIEEII.—The present from the combined colliers to Mr. Hume consists of ea elegant silver epergne and a richly chased silver salver, value 160 guineas. The following is a copy of the inscription : Presented to Joseph Hume, Esquire, M.P. By the Operative Colliers of Lanark, Dumbarton, and Rettfreie•Mees, Ia testimony or their s:ncere regard for his faithful and able public services in Parliament, and es;tecially for his indefatigable and suceassfol exertions to amelinnite the condition and to dee:id the interests or the Operative Classes. (Yawl', 1 826." Upon the one side of the epergne is a figure of Justice ; on the opposite the inscription ; upon tl:e rigl.t shield Mr. flume 't Arms, mraling, Ste.; and upon the left the Col liers' Arms, &c. . _ _ We are sorry to learn that Mrs. Bezoni is at present in a situation of great embarrassment, and that the valu able collections made by her late husband, now exhibiting in Leicester-square, will in alt probability be lost to her for ever, if some assistance is not immediately afforded to her, to enable her to discharge a claim of comparatively trifling magnitude. • Mr. Balcorob, so frequently mentioned in Mr. O'Meara's " Account of Bonaparte at St. Helena," and itho was com pelled to leave that island while Sir Hudson Lowe was Governor there, has been appointed by Government io the profitable situation of Treasurer at Neer South Wa!es. TAVERNIEII.—When the celebrated traveller Tavernier returned from the Eaat he had a vast number of valuable jewels, by the sale of which lie realised a considerable sum of money. Happening one day to be talking with some courtiers of Louis XIV., of the manner in which he should employ it, he said, he thought of investing it in land, in Switzerland. The King was present, and chancing to over hear him, turned suddenly round, and asked why lie did not rather think of laying it out in France ? " Because Sire," answered the sincere traveller, " I should like to be lord in my own manor." CAUELTORD.—The inns!' of borough electioneering in this county have seldom produced an instance of more vio lent party feeling than now exists in the borough of Ca melford. The Earl of Darlington possesses the fee-simple of most of the lands in the borough, and is of course the patron. He has been for several years opposed by the Mar quis of Hertford, who has got possession of some houses in the place, which are held by his friends. Amongst these houses is one, of which a partisan of the Marquis has s lease for three lives, and to which garden is attached. In this garden a house was erected, for the purpose of accom modating certain of the Hertfordians, who are electors, and who, there was reason to believe, would he ejected from their present residences by the Noble Earl. The progress of this building win carefully watched, and as soon as it was covered in, a party of miners entered the garden, and commenced sinking a shaft in search of ore, near the newly erected house. After they had sunk the shaft to some depth, they found it expedient to commence an alit, which they drove under the building, and where they experienced any difficulty in their progress, they resorted to the usual mode of blasting. This last measure was fatal to the pro ject of the Hertford:ens ; a few explosions of gunpowder in the subterraneous passage underneath shook the house to the foundation, arid it is now a heap of ruins.—Wral Briton. A very handsome and elegant sepulchral monument, executed by Craven, of Kingston. has been put up in the Chancel of the parish church of Portsea, to the memory of the late Rev. Dr. Gauntlet', Warden of New College, Oxford, and for thirty-eight years Vicar of Portsea. This memorial has been erected at the expense of his successor In the vicarage, the Rev. C. 11. Denville, as .a grateful record of the judicious and useful benefaction of his predecessor to the Living of Portsea.—llimpsliire Tcle grairph. Exrri•oantN•ae PI NZ APPIe.-0o the Soth of last month, a New Providence Pine Apple, cultivated by Mr. Mac Mimic, was cut in Lord Viscount Ansmi's garden, at Shugborough. It measured two feet in circumference. was of a fine globular shape, of beautiful proportion, and weighed eleven pounds and three quarters, sixteen ounces to the pound. This fine specimen is supposed to be the handsomest and the largest fruit of the kind ever cut in Britain.

Thie seems to have been the law since bills of exchange have been in existence, but was denounced by a learned Judge at the last Old Bailey Sessions, who regretted that it was not in his power to remedy it, and through which an acquit•al took place; but, that it is strange and ineoe. sistent must be apparent to every person, and indeed the Judges, as far as they consistently can, discountenance it, always wishing to leave the credit of the person to the con sideration of the Jury. In the case of the King v. Boston, 4th East, L or d Ellenharoug,li calls this au " anomaly in the law ;•• and in the case of Abrahams qui tam v. Bunn, 4th Burr. 2251, Lord Mansfield, in a very forcible manner, point e d out 0,, distinction between interest, which affects the competence, and influence, which goes only to the credit, and his Lon!. ship speaks strongly against this practice, which has unac countably crept into the administration of justice—fat as the law now stands, if a person's name is forged, so as ex actly to resemble the handwriting of the person whose name it purports to be, the prisoner upon his trial has the satisfaction to find that the law will not reach him, and ge nerally succeeds in his fraudulent design, having reseivtd the consideration of the bill. Now, Sir, I cannot help deprecating this law, and ob- serving, that a person who has had his house robbed, c,2 had any ether depredation committed upon his property, is in primciple (though not in law) equally interested ; for oa the conviction of the thief the prosecutor's goods are at all times restored; nay, even if a pawnbroker or any other person has innocently advanced money upon the stolen goods, or has bou3ht them, they are in that case ordered to be restored to dm original owner, who has never yet beer, considered an incompetent witness. The Statute 41 of Henry the Eighth cap. 11, math, " That if any felon do rob or take away any money, goods, or chattels, front tiny subject, from their person or otherwise, and be found guilty thereof, os other ' wise attaintod, by reason of evidence given by th, party so robbed, or owner of the said money, good,, or chattels, or by any other by their procurement, that then the party so robbed, or owner, shall be restored to his said money, goods, and chattels." And it is usual for the Judges, upon conviction of the felon, to order immediate restitution of such goods as are produced. From these few remarks, I think I have shown that ac> person who prosecutes a felon, to obtain restitution of property, is equally susceptible of bias and prejudice as who proves the forgery of his own name, far in the latitr case he is liable for the amount (sumosing it to be genuirq as before stated, hut if fictions, he Is not. In the former case, he obtains possession of his goods again, of which le stated he had been robbed. It will probably said that a release may be givei, so it may • hut this is an expensive proceviding, and whit ! persons have unwittingly received forged paper, they ste not always willing to give up their right of actiou, for the , ' think it may be true, and Vex', the amount is recoverabl;, However.in some cases it is impossible to give a release, for he may chan:e to he liable to the prisoner (whoof course would not he his own exe:ntioner), as in the case of a pro. miasory note, where the prisoner forges the name of a per. son as the drawer, payable to himself (prisoner), which he indorses over to a third person ; the person whose came is forged is liable in such case to him, and cannot be made a witness, under any circumstances, sinless released by the prisoner himself. I could instance several others, but it is unnecessary, as I have already trespassed too much upon the limits of your ' Journal, but feel satisfied I have succeeded in showing the inconsistency, and I nay adi, the absurdity of the law in this respect, and hope to see it repealed, inasmuch as it tends to frustrate the ends of justice. I cannot conclude with(' t observing, that I do not wish to prejudge, or in jure the case of the individual mentioned iti the commence ment of this letter, but to prove the incongruity of the law in this respect, while the subject is fresh in the recol lection of your readers. I am, Sir, Your very obedient servant. A STUDENT AT LAW. Ott. 11, 1826. THE CHURCH. The Reverend N.

RV9SIA.—Among the mines ditcover(d ee the domains of the Crown, two are worthy of ncii‘v, ent gold mine, the other patina. The former was discovcr,J in Int, by M. Boiridoff. It is situated in the district f Zlatuust, in the government of Orenburg, in the prosincr of Zroitak, on the left bank of the Ouya, two vents from the copper mine of Polikoff. In 100 pooda of and gives from 11 and to 14 zolotuiks of gold. The mine Les not been much examined. On June the 14th theaand first washed, and ifs two dart Ip. Bet. tolotutke of Etell were obtained. On account of ha abundance, this mine has been called Blahodatne. The platina mine, contairing a small quantity of gold, is in the district of Gorublaha dat, government of Perm, two 'erste from Kouchversk, and twelve from the Isa. It was discovered last March. The metallic sand lieu about one archive and a half bele: , the surface, and thickness of the strata about two archives and a half. In five pooch: of the sand half a zelotuik of gold and five parts of platina have been obtained. The strata have been examined for a considerahlediitancr, and is found to be very rich, containing at least ten zolotuiks of metal to every 100 poods. During this year 33 steel of gold sand have been found in private property in the government of Perm, which in general give one rolotuik of metal to the 100 poods. The most remarkable are these belonging to M. Demidoff, and to the heirs of M. Pierre Vakouileff. The latter gave (ruin four to five solotuiks of gold to the 100 poods. Traces of gold have also bee" discovered on the estate of M. Mies, merchant, at Wl'. toff, situated in the district of Kourgam, government o: Toholek.
