From the latter we sub join an article intended to be explanatory of the further d-cline of the French Funds. An attempt is made to repre sent it As the result of a combination of jobbers operating for afall. We have no doubt, however, that it his arisen from other and more important cantles, which are at this moment depressing the price of Stocks in every part of the world. By the news from Greece, we learn that RI-Anent° Paola still continued before Missolonghi, and that Imm une was making his devastating excursions into the in terior of the Mores. DinfONTAINEII, the oldest of the dramatic poets of France, has just died at Paris, aged 92 years. [From the Doak, dated Thursday, Nov. 24 PARIS, NOV. 23. The Exchange the day before yesterday announced a rise. The 43p1 from London and Amsterdam also announced a rise In chow cities, but at the very opening of the Exchange it was pretty (liberally known that considerable bales were to take place. This, in fact, happened; between one million and 1,200.000 francs of rectos were Aired for sale, and found purchasers without pro ducing a fall of more than 50 centimes. The opening price was 87f. 110 e. ; the lowest 67f. 40c. ; and towards the close of the Exchange, 67f, 70e. Lively curiosi.y was excited amoug the frequenters of the Ex change to learn the CAUFf of so eveniive an operation. Some thought tt was an 11l combined speculation foe a fall, which had Wed in its object; others thought that an extensive specula two in the Three per Cents had, according to the technical phrase . t>< the Exchange, been executed. To-day it was known at the be . slog of the Exchange that the last conjecture was well founded; the bowie which had sold the Rer.tes was named, and the result has been a further decline, which has brought them to about 66f. 75e. liWWfter, it was known that the pa , quet alone was interested in the idra;?. Awarding to letters from Corfu of 31st Oct. the Ottoman fleet had not yet appeared on the coasts of the Mores. The Serultier.

Last night we received the Brussels Papers of Wednes day. It appears from them that reports are current in Germany that the Spanish Clergy are everywhere trying to raise money. Secret proposals are said to have been made to the monied men of Frankfort, offering engage ments by which they bind themselves to obtain within a certain time the ratification of the Spanish Government. — These Papers also state that the Russian Government has re solved to follow the liberal principles of commercial policy recommended to its adoption by the authority and example of Great Britain. The attention of the Russian Government has hitherto been exclusively directed to the promotion of its internal commerce; and a Ukase was very lately issued for the purpose of diminishing the taxes paid by retailers and artisans. We extract the following paragraph : linussecs, Nov. 22. The day before yesterday, during mass, at 7 in the morning, in the church of St. Baron, at Ghent, a noise, the cause of which is unknown, was suddenly heard, and the congregation being alarmed. rushed to the doors, which were soon blocked up, and several persons were trodden under foot. In the midst of the confusion some thieves were very active io stealing the silk shawls, hats, &c. of the fugitives. A letter has been received frcm Alexandria, announcing the departure of the Turco-Egyptian expedition, under the command of the CAPITAN PAcIHA. The following extract states the military and naval strength of this powerful armament:— ALEXANDRIA, OCT. 18. Yesterday morning the Capitan Pacha took his departure, and to day the whole of the transports are out. The expedition, as far as we can team, consists of 14 frigates, 14 corvettes, 42 brigs, 10 tire ships, 20 armed Turkish transports, and 211 European transports, with the " London Engineer" steam vessel (another built here sprung a-leak in sailing out of the harbour). Four whole regi. menta, or 8000 soldiers of disciplined infantry, and about 1000 Turkish cavalry are embarked on board these vesvls. The ex pense of the whole expedition, in arrears of pay to the Turkish fleet, provisions and repairs, supplies of money and provisions to the Morea,and presents (the Capitan Pacha receives 100,000 piastres) will, it is estimated, cost our Pacha 50,000,000 piastres, or the value of 100,000 bales of cotton. We are glad to find the attention of the Magistrates has been again drawn to those annual nuisances in the neighbour hood of the metropolis, the Fairsof CA KSE ales and P6C [- HA m. The reader will perceive by the important investi gation which the subject has undergone—the full particulars of which will be found in another part of our paper—that no right to hold them could be established. As it is likely, however, that the question of right will be by a Quo War rant° before the Court of King's Bench, we abstain from offering any remarks upon this head. Fairs, when originally instituted, were of incalculable utility in bringing those commodities into every village and market-tawn, and to every one's door, which could rot otherwise have been obtained without travel hog to a distance, at an expense greater than the value of the articles to be purchased. The value of this accommodation has long since ceased, except at a con siderable distance from market towns. In the vicinity of London, fairs have been for the last half century the annual resort of the dissolute and idle from all quarters, and have served little other purpose than to furnish an annual harvest to cheats and pickpockets. The term Fair, in its primitive signification, is very different from that kind of market, the advantage of which we have just described. The fairs, feria., were kept on festival days, dies soneti, and had no relation to the sale of merchandise. They ought not, therefore, to he confounded with the Nundiiuror markets which in Rome were kept every sixth day, and to which the people resorted for the purpose of buying and selling. The difference between a market, merealus, and a .fair, is likewise observable from the in tervals at which they are kept : the former is usually kept once or twice a week, the latter annually, or at moat twice in a year. CITY, PRIMA! EVEWINO. The jobbers did not take rest as usual to-day, after the heavy settlement, but continued their operations rather with increased energy. Those who are operating for the rise succeeded in bolstering Consols for a short time in the early part of the morning, and Account bargains were done at 85 to but that quotation soon ceased, in conse quence of the heavy sales that were attempted, and 84.11 was the concluding price, and the market at the latter part of the day showed no symptoms of elasticity ; indeed, if the reported misunderstanding between the Ministers and the Bank be correct, that alone is sufficient to account for the weight of the market. The failure of a peat mercan tile establishment in the Spanish trade,altbough it probably did not materially effect the market, had a necessary ten dency to spread alarm, and weaken confidence. Exchequer Bills were Is. to 4s. dis. The business in Foreign Securities was not so heavy is it has been on some of the former days of the week ; prices, for the most part, gave way ; Colombian Bonds were 631 41 ; Mexican 6 per cent. ditto, 67/ 8 ; Brazilian Scrip, 13 123 dis. ; Spanish Bonds, 1312; Greek ditto, 2111; and Danish ditto, 62/. In Shares nothing was doing. The Colonial Market was without interest, and prices by no means recovered. The supply of Grain in Mark-lane was plentiful, and quotations weady ; the price of Barley not declining in consequence of the opening of the ports. A letter from Naples of the Bth of November 'states, that " there is a report that the free port of Meel,na will be supers«led and changed to a scala franka, wb'.ch allows only of the re-exportation of goods without paying the duty ; but exporters must say to what port they have sent their merchandise, and must produce under this privilege the document of importation to the Cour'L in question'. It is fully believed that this arrangernetit will take place." Another letter of the same date, and from the same place, says—" The steam-boat between Naples and Sicily has discontinued her voyages, and probably will be sent back to England. They talk of an augmentation of duty on cloth, as well as a tax on merchants in general, and on flour, in order to make up for the deficiency in the budget and to avoid new taxes." The following incredible story is told in a letter from Madras. quoted in a provincial paper :—" You have doubt less red, both in the English papers and Asiatic Journal, of the Burman war; by the last accounts their famous General. Maha Bundoola, was killed by a shell on the tak ing of Donahue ; he is supposed to he Major Carroll, who was dismissed from his Majt sty's service ahem a year and s half ago for giving in false returns; it is generally reported that he is the illegitimate son of the Marquis of Hastings, through whose ihttrest he was promoted from a private.. It was thought at one time he had embarked for Eoglatil, but it is now very well ascertained that ho did not ; he has certainly revenged himself upon theintlign Govern ment, for through his means the Emperor of Ara declared defy - he expense of which has cost the Cam %of motley." Radsettid declares his titro resolution not to withdraw his army , war, to defray the e from Etolia till Ilkiolu ighi is taken ; and it die surrender of eit immense sums .12 i THE 'BRITISH P BAVARIA. Extract of a letter from Wartzburg, November 12:— '• The Kingdom of Bavaria, since the death or our beloved Monarch, is divided between two powerful sentimetas—revret and hope. The new King, by anew system, directly opposite to that of his predecessor, has declared himself in favour of retrenchments. Nobody, however, ventures to blame the boundless generosity and goodness of the late King; the retrenchments spoken of fall upon things ; the inutility of which is acknowledged, and which might be even characterised by another expression, it good were not always sure of escaping a censtve, however misled it may be. It is now said that the late King himself intended to suppress certain ex penses, but it was repugnant to his royal heart to deprive enrol hls subjects of an employment which he held at the time of his secession to the throne. Ile could not prevail on himself to dimi nish the portion of bread, or to take it away from him who was in possession of it, or who wanted it. The reforms now in contem plation are calcultted to interest all Germany, for they effect the higher branches of the administration, and the King's household. The new Monarch, who has conceived the idea of them, shows that he possesses in the highest degree patriotic sentiments, worthy to be imitated by all the Princes of the Confederation. Everybody knows that among the complaints which are repeated througheut Germany, is the useless support, in time of peace, or numerous bodies of troops, by estates which have very little weight In the present system of Europe, while the expense absorbs the greater part of the revenue of these states. Another point is the expensive parade of a number of itseless horses : a proof of this luxury, which passes all bounds, is the late reduction of the num. bet of horses in the King's stables, by two hundred ! Another subject of complaint is the money expended on operas, ballets. bands of music for the Cowl and the elturcbes, in imitation of great monarchies, where those enormous expenses have an object of public utility, since they encourage the arts, which cannot be the case in the little German States. A political question now arises from the indispensable disband ing of part of the troops of the small States—will the great Powers which, since the new order of firings, have reckoned on the nume rous armies of the little monarchies, °wee this measure of retrench. meet, braving public opinion, whin+ has seen with pain large standing armies in small States, to serve the ambition of great Po. ten tales 3—Brussels Paper. THE SLAVE TRADE. The following is an extract of a letter from an officer on board his Maj,.sty's ship Maidstone, on the Coast of Africa, dated Prince's Island, S:ptember 12. It gives an affecting account of the condition of seven hundred wretched human beings, found on board a French slave-ship bound for Mar tinique:- 1 am also glad to say the squadron continues healthy, and, with the exception of the clergyman, and one man of this ship, there have been no deaths. At Sierra Leone and Cape Coast they are and hare been very sickly ; at the former place they have lost upwards of one hundred troops, and rather more at Cape Coast since the rainy season. I am glad to say the squadron has been fortunate in captures, so that we are picking up a little. But the French now engross all the trade in slaves. A few days ago we had a long and arduous chase after a large frigate-built corvette ship, which we at last ran alongside of. She proved to be the French ship Orphie, with a cargo of seven hundred slaves on board, and in a state that would hare made your heart ache to have seen. The rascals had nearly all the men chained by the necks, or most of them ; the rest by the legs to the deck and. to add to the horror of te thing, the bolts were riveted ; thereby-showing it was not the intention of the monsters to let the innocent victims of their cruelty loose until, the end of the voyage. She was bound to Martinique. The between-deck was tittle more than three feet high, and the groans of the poor sufferers almost it:lmre - tried me. When I desired them to be released, I thought I should have choked : never were toy feelings so much hurt. THE JUBILEE OF GOETHE. WEIMAR, Nov. 8. It was on the 7th of November, 1775, that our present Minister of State, Von Goethe, arrived •at Is' ettmtr, In consequence of an invitation to enter into the service of the Grand Duke. Yesterday morninz, being the fiftieth anniversary of the day of his arrival, his Royal Highness the Grand Duke sent an autograph letter to M. Von Goethe, with a medal executed by M. Brandt, at Berlin, according to the directions of the Grand Duke. The letter was in the following terms : Most esteemed Privy Councilor and Minister of State—lt' is certainly with entire justice that I consider the day on which, con:- plying with my invitation, you arrived at Weimar, as the day of your actual entrance into my service, since, from that time, you have never ceased to gi re me the most satisfactory proofs of the most faithful attachment and friendship, by the dedication to thy aereice of your rare talents. The fiftieth anniversary of this Jay I accordingly consider, with the most lively pleasure, as the Jubilee of my First Officer of State, who, with fidelity, constancy. and at tachment, has hitherto accompanied me in all the vicissitudes of life ; to whose prudent counsel, and ever ready and cheerful ser vice, I owe the happy issue of the most important endertakings; and whom, to have permanently attached to me, I consider as one of the most distingaished ornaments of my reign. Joyfully taklrg advantage of the happy occasion of the Jubilee of to-day to express these sentiments to you, I beg you to be assured that they will never change." The medal has on the face the busts of their Royal Highnesses the Grand Duke and Duchess ; on the reverse the bust of Goethe, with twe branches of laurel round it, and the following inscription continued from the face to the reverse :-- " Charles Augustus and Louisa, to Goethe." . . . . If Goethe's works belting to all Germans; and the civilised world, we have besides the pleasure of his direct and personal exertions for the last fifty years. A faithful performer of the commands of his niece, his first efforts were directed to forming the taste of his new fellnw.sitieens, in conjunction with noble and highly-gifted men. al: of whom we have now lost. He entered into the ideas of the Duke and the amiable Print vases ; • lively interest for art and science was soon manifested in the city and country, and a sincere endeavour to promote them to the utmost ; and this little acquired an intellectual importance more pure, more solid, than could have bcen acquired by more worldly means. IF, wherever the German tongue is understood, the ingenious poet, the luminous thinker, naturalist, and connoisseur, is admired, we have the pleasure of loving the amiable qualities of the man. The (14 was kept in a very suitable manner. For some time hat, all the fair hands in Weimar had been busy in preparing for im a number of elegant presents, which were sent to him ertly in the morning. At half-past eight o'clock, all those who thought they had any right, assembled in his house. Eberwein had coo_ posed a very pretty cantata, which was sung by M. Eberwein and several Ladi, a, when he came nut of his chamber to welcome the company. The Grand Duke's letter and the treilal were presented to him. Then came deputies from the ellunicitality, who presented to him, for his grandchildren and all his destendants for ever, the freedom of all the cities and towns in the Wand Duchy of Weimar. This being done, the company retired to mak e way for the Grand Duke and family, who came in person '.o congratulate him. Mean time, his bum, in marble, executed by Hotteh, was placed in the library : a select company of ladle>, and gentlemen attended as wit ness's"; a line piece of vocal and instrumental music, composed for the occasion, was performed ; the Chancellor and the Librarian delivered appropriate dinar:reel; and lastly a description of the proceedings of the day. 0 impression of the medal, and a splen did copy of lolligrnio wore deposited in the pedestal under the bust. Thus was a grand dinner in the Town-hall. at which various songs were sung in Goetb'e honour, but he himself was not pre.ent. Then the company repaired to the theatre; Goethe sat quite con cealed in an übscgre box, but was discovered and vielconted with acelamrions. After a prologue, in which his bust, crowned with laurel, was introduced, his Iphigrnia, which we had hot seen fur many years. 'vas admirably performed before a very numerous and attentive at/dents, dressed with the greatest elegance in honour of the occaelsm. After the performance, the inhabitants of the square in wki.J.. he lives illuminated their houses, and the Grand Duke's band performed, under his window, a very tine serenade composed by fluminel. We have received letters from Valparaiso to the 6th of August. They contain no late advice' from Lima: a Chilien vessel, however, had arrived in 16 days from Cho rines, but brought no letters. The Captain confirmed all the former accounts we had received of the distressed state of Raid, at Callao, adding, that the troops were in a most diseased state from scurvy, and deserting from him as fast as they could find means. The statement of his having offered to surrender to the Chilien ships of war, upon cer tain conditions, and of the offer having been refused, is confirmed—the besiegers will listen to nothing leas than an unconditional surrender. We learn from these letters that a Minister from Peru to our Government may be ex pected by the first Jamaica packet: and it is added, that an agent, empowered to negotiate another loan, will ac company him. Mr. Merrylowitch, with his steam-boat from Liverpool, had arrived at Lima, after a passage of four months. On Thursday. at one o'clock, his Excellency the Hon. F. N. Burton, G.C.H., Lieutenant-Governor of this Pro vince, embarked on board his Majesty's yacht Herald, for Ziglaud. His Excellency was attended, from his residence to the place of embarkation, by the Officers on the per sonal Staff of the Governor-in-Chief, and on the general Staff of command, and a • number of mpectable citizens, who were anxious to pay this parting mark of respect to a character whose affability and amiable conduct have ren dered him so generally popular. A large and respectable party, on hoard the steam-boat La Prairie, accompanied the Herald some way down the river, in compliment to his Excellency. The other passengets in the Herald were Lord Arthur Lennox, 71st Highland Light Inflintry, Mrs. Mountain, relict of our late venerable Bishop, Alias Moun tain, and Captain Mountain, 76th regiment.—Quehec Paper, Oct. 7. f V.QQ t s'4% COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Holcroft's Road to Ruin was performed last night at this theatre, apparently with a view to rival its recent repre sentation at the other house. Notwithstanding the comedy has been carefully got up here—and, to use a cant expres sion, " the whole strength of the company" put in requisi tion—we are obliged to give the preference to the rival establishment. We are not averse to these dramatic doubles ; particularly when, as in the present instance, there is much merit on both sides. The mutual excellence of the performers provokes a comparison capable of adding a new zest to our ordinary enjoyment: it is like looking at the same object through telescopes of different power and construction. To begin with the ladies, like gallant critics ; and, as in duty bound, according to their juniority. Miss Goward played Sophia with abundance of talent, and a promise of still higher excellence when the fruits of experience shall have been added to the blossoms of intuitive ability, which are already apparent. Of course her personation of the character is not to be compared with the Kelly's. It has not equal depth or force, and, with abundant simplicity, its simplicity is not so graceful. It was agreeable to see that clever actress Mrs. Glover welcomed hack to the boards of this theatre with so much enthusiasm after so long an absence; her conception of the Widow Warren is scarcely so good as that of Mrs. Davison, but she looks the character infinitely better, and her execution is extremely effective. Mr. Farren is a tertium quid between Munden and Williams—as much above the latter as he is inferior to the former. This actor is very felicitous in the pettishness, but he cannot master the °pathetic, of old age. Jones is too much of a gentleman to play Goldfinch well. Ilia affectations are leas coarse than refined ; and in his assumption of the groom, the man of fashion is too obvious. The actor is more at hotne in tl:e court than on the coach-box. His eccentricities do not consist in the depth of ignorance and stupidity ; they ori ginate in knowledge and sprightliness, pushed into ex tremes. Along with this, he wants the flippancy of Harley. Blanchard's silky was, in the article of flesh, more charac teristic than Game's; he looked a miser to the back-bone-- one who would cheat his own bowels —or, as Falstaff has it, " a man made out of a cheese-paring after dinner ; a very forked reddish." A gentleman, whose name we have forgot, played Sulky at Drury-lane much better than Bartley, who is too fat and good-hutnoured for the character. Of all the detestable things we have ever been con demned to witness, Mr. Cooper's Harry Dornton is the worst. Poor Elliston isa thousand miles above him, and, " not to speak it profanely," honest James Wallack is a hundred. His elegance was a cape mortuum, his pathos maudlin, and his wit an absolute night-mare. The most remarkable part of the performance was the drunken scene, in which the actor proved himself an abso lute bottle-conjuror, for he was drunk, sober, and drunk again, by turns, all in the space of a minute. We entreat Mr. Kemble to take the character into his keeping. Pro bably it was the fault of the property mien that the " racket scene" was not so characteristically noisy as at Drury-lane. We would recommend an additional allow ance of gin to the parties concerned. Thesame functionary (the property-man) is, we suppose, also chargeable with the deficiency of duns in the fourth act. However, when speaking of the tradesmen we must make an exception in favour of Mr. Chapman, who, truth to say, showed ex tremely like " Suerives in the body of a stocking-weaver." The evening's entertainments concluded with the per formance of a new piece, in one act, entitled the Scape-Goat. Ignatius Polyglot (Farren) is an old tutor, somewhat after the model of Scott's Dominic Sampson; he has a young gen tleman, named Charles Eustace (Cooper), confided to his care; but while the tutor is giving lessons in Latin the pupil is receiving lessons in love from Harriet (Miss A. Jones); and finally Homer is beaten out of the field by Hymen : in common parlance, the parties are married. The absence of old Eustace (Blanchard) tempts Charles to intro duce his wife into his father's house and the good-natured tutor is prevailed on to connive at his pupil's imprudence. The old man unexpectedly returns, and in the confusion created by this occurrence, no better hiding-place for the lady presents itself than Polyglot's bed-chamber. The ludicrous of the piece now commences, and consists in the suspicions excited against poor Polygh,t by the cir cumstance of his having a lady in his apartment. The distress of the erudite Dominic is for a while supreme, but at length terminates in a full discovery of his pupil's esca pade, and the acquiescence of all interested parties in its propriety. The tutor was very comically represented by Mr. Far ren ; as was a mischievous waiting-maid by Miss Jones. A sister of the latter (Miss A. Jones) debated in the part of Harriet (the heroine), and executed the little allotted to her bs the author with propriety. The piece itself is too short to be tedious, and, enlivened as it is with numer ous incidents and ludicrous situations, will make an excel lent interlude. It excited a great deal of merriment throughout, and bids fair - to become a general favourite. The Chancellor of the Exchequer came to town yester day morning, from hia seat at Beckenham. The Right Hon. Gentleman returned to Beckenham in the afternoon. Mrs. Peel, wife of Mr. Secretary Peel, was better yes terday. HEIR TO THE HOUSE or EATON•—The ceremony of admitting Hugh Lupus Grosvenor, the infant son of Lord Be!grave, within the pale of the Christian Church took place at the baptismal font in Eccleston church on Monday morning. The sponsors were, the Countess of Grosvenor, Lord Stanley, and Lord Leveson Gower. Besides these, there were present at the ceremony, Lady Elizabeth Bel grave, Lady Bromley, lion. Miss Curzon, Mies Stanley, Mrs. Maria Grosvenor, Mrs. and Miss Egerton, Earl Grosvenor, the Earl of Derby, Earl of Wilton, Lord Bel grave, the Hon. Robert Grosvenor, Mr. Egerton, Tatton Park, &c. A splendid entertainment was givcn to these distinguished personages and the other friends of the illustrious House of Grosvenor, at Eaton Hall, and a grand ball and supper took place in the evening, to which upwards of two hundred of the neighbouring gentry were invited. CATHOLIC Questrost.—As a demonstrat'on of the true fee:ings of the county of York at present on the Catholic question, we may state that the advocacy of emancipation is almost limited to one Leeds newspaper. The Sheffield Iris, which for a long course of years supported the Catho lics, now speaks of their conduct in these terms:— " The attention of the whole kingdom is turning to the Catholic question ; and, as might be expected, the more in is- the Catholics make, the less likely they are to obtain the object of their wishes. The conduct of some priests and orators has recently made a power ful impretsion to the disadvantage of the taupe; and it is now the universal opinion of all parties that there is not the least chance of success, in the event of the subject being brought before Parlia ment next Session, Some, who have been the mo t astlous 'deo eves of what is called Catholic Emancipation, appear to be hesi tating. The fact is, popery, by the proceedings of its members, is justifying every thing which has been said against its principles and tendency ; and those Protestants who have long pleaded in its favour, are beginning to be ashamed of the cause which they have advocated." PLAIN SPEANixo.--We beg our readers not to forget that on Saturday last Mr. O'Connell said—" If Irishmen had Ireland to themselves, they could manage well enough without any foreigners amongst them. It was arch inter ference that hinted his native country, which God had marked with every blessing, into a pitiful prm•incr." This is a valuable commentary on Mr. O'Connell's favourite toast :—" Ireland as she ought to be!" There is no mis taking such sentiments ; and all the professions of ab stract loyalty, " unconditional allegiance," &c. that a man could utter, wculd be lighter than a feather in the scale, RS a counterbalance of the foregoing candid declaration of what the Great Leader " would if he could." Itemem 'oer ;also, that not a single dissentient voice was raised againttt Mr.O'Connell's avowal h—Dublis 21forning Courier A Society in New York, called " The Friends of Ire land," have published an wh'ress to the Irish nation, pointing out, with good-natured industry, the beet methods of improving the general condition of that island. Among the projects most strenuously recommended are, the over throw of the Protestant Church, and the re-establishing of an Irish Parliament, to be chosen annually by universal suffrage. Towards the prosecution of these ends, the peo ple of Ireland are . admonished to keep their attention se dulously flied on whatever opportunities may be afforded to them, by foreign friendships and zliiances, for shaking off the yoke of England, at those periods ►thee she shall b.. embroiled with other Powers.
