The tunseituoussiene; at $t Petersburgb, Wtthe:Kb, on the taking the train to the Emperor Nicholas I. hare been described. on the whole. so correctly and circumstantially in the Deeds State Gault', that the novelty-loving public should at length cease cry ing. like the boys in the streets of London during the Revolution, " more bloody news." Nearly six hours were spent in parleying Pub mutinous troops, who were inflamed with brandy t and marching from distant barracks with drums beating and colours flyMg, into the square of the Palace, had drawn together a great, concourse of people, and having formed a square, placed in the centre of It their nffiars, and some other agitators in civil costume. It was not till all means of persuasion had been exhausted that they were fired upon with grape shot, and the horse guards ordered to charge. General Illiloradowitch was shot before the front, as he was mounting his horse; the voice of the Archimandrite, who ap peared with the crucifix, was drowned in the uproar, and Incessant cries of" Let the Grand Duke Nicholas live, but let the Emperor, Constantine reign," were uttered by the continually-increasing multitude. Some of the artillerymen at the eight guns which had been brought up were wounded by the rebels- The new Emperor repeatedly exposing himself to the greatest dangers, had atteniptid to overcome the obstinacy of the tr.utineers, and to convince them of their error, in fancying that the renunciation of Constantine was a Ection, till at length a discharge of grape shot killed some hundreds of them. About forty officers are arrested and confined the fortress, among whom there are certainly young men of the oldest houses. " lie shall live," wrote the Emperor himself, to the wife of one of them most deeply implicated, who had in vain sovght refuge in the house of a Foreign Ambassador, his brother -1..1511. The last courier, who left St. Petersburgb on the 311th December, brought a long letter from the Empress Alexandra to t:.e Ring of Prussia ; he further left the capital on the News in profound tranquillity, and the moat satisfactory accounts were received from the Southern Government, where entire corps ct the army—for instance, the ?d, under Count Wittgenstein, had oaken the oath, with great enthusiasm, to the Cmsarowitsch. has often been said lately, that if the Grand Duke Constantine had acrd a few days only at St. Petersburgh, as Emperor, and then abdicated, the malcontents and intriguers would hare been deprived I of erery pretext, and many lives would have been spared: but who ran decide whether this measure would no' have had a precisely con- I tn.-, effect, even if the health of the G rand Duke Constantine, whose sufferings are not to be described, had permitted its adoption ? It is evident that the unshaken firmness with which Constantine re silenced faithful to kis renunciation, which is as little the result of petty anxiety as of selfish love of ease, but is clearly enough ex pressed in the serious expressions of the act of renunciation ad dressed to the Emperor Alexander, manifests as much strength of mad on his part as she oath taken by Nicholas to his elder brother shows prudence and integnty in him in whose favour the renuncia. tiuo was made. It will be the task of the future historian duly to appreciate this unexampled friendly contention between two brothers. At present passions and party spirit are ton much excited. According to the latest accounts front Odessa the Etnpress Eliza beth had so far overcome het affliction. and her desire to be reunited with Alexander, that hopes are beginning to be entertained that her valuable life wmild be preserved. It was reported in St. Peters. btegh that the Emperor would shortly undertake a journey to 11.a.cow and the southern provinces, where his presence wnuld ere. tend, in these critical moments, to make the minds of the pr..pt. easy. His presence, his truly dignified appearance. and his eloquence, would be able materially to direct public opinion, wt.. rh is more dreisive than anywhere else in favour of the Greeks. —Atlcemeine itltawg, Jan. 19.

It appears by the French Papers received last night that the national policy of Russia is already exercising its influence over the Councils of the new Easreaos. The: note of Count NE3111L1101)E, declaratory of his Imperial Master's adherence to the political system of the Emperor ALEIANDFR was accompanied by another, stating that energetic represmtations would he addressed to the Porte, requiring the strict and immediate execution of the treaty of Bucharest. The Ambassadors of the great powers at Constantinople are requested to support the Russian Minister in these demands. Assuredly it mutt he ad mitted that the bad faith and useless obstinacy of the Turkish Court are enough to justify the recourse to hoitilities with which the Russian Government threatens it. If the interests of the Porte were all that would be at stake in the quarrel, Europe would long ago have been induced, by weariness and disgust, to abandon the Mussulmans to the richly-deserved conse quences of their injustice. If the Emperor Nicitocas wishes to open his reign with a national war, he has only to give the word and he may be gratified. All the ele ments are gathered, and the materials prepared. Inc= the Monitesir of Tuesday, Jan. =i] VITNNA JANAL kir Cabinet has hastened to publish the Note from Count Nes setrode to the Austrian Ambassador, Count Letterehern, in which his Excellency announces that the Emperor Nicholas has declared his intention to maintain the political system adopted by his bro ther, the Emperor Alexander. It is affirmed that this Note of Count Neaselrode was accompanied by another, stating that the Russian Cabinet has decided that energetic representation► shall be again made at Constantinople, in order to induce the Porte at length to execute without restriction the stipulations of the treaty of 1817, concluded at Bucharest, and especially what concerns the principalities of Moldavia and AVallachia. The Russian Cabinet, being resolved that the negotiations whirls have been so long car rying on with the Divan shall be promptly terminated, desires that the Ambassadors of the Oreat Powers at Constantinople shall join M. 31inxiacky, the Russian Charge d'Affaires, in the communica tions which he will hare to make to the Reis Effendi, conformably to the new instructions, which will be immediately transmitted to him. PASTS, JAN. 23. The two Crimmissions sitting at Zurich and Lucerne continue their labours with great diligence. The confrontations which have lately taken place did net concern either M. Corragioni or 31. Plyf fer. It will take some months before the Commissions can clear up the chaos which they have beftwe them. For some days put the small-pcx has been spreading with great virulence in Eastern Switzerland. It is of a more dangerous cha racter than that of last year, but no person has been attacked by it ho had been vaccinated. [From the Ftvik dated Wednesday, Jan. 25.1 PARIS, .1 Mt. 24. Count Pozao di Borgo has to-day presented :o the King his um eredenials as Ambarcador of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia. There is no truth in what the Qutttidienne says to-day, that two extraordinary couriers from St. Patersburgh have Arrived a Paris.

At the meeting of the deneral Court of Proprietors at the India Home on Wednesday, the remirks made by Colonel I.ruersrrn Seas ors, on what he was pleased to designate as " the most unnecessary and destructive war" at present carrying on in India, serve to show with what erroneous impression his mind has been inoculated upon this subject. Ile seems to be influenced—if we may judge from the warmth of his invective—by a more then common share of prejudi..T. Hr." gave it as his opinion that more money had already been spent upon this war than would have sufficed "to build another St. Psee's, or to have extended the quay on the river Thames, and have made it the finest promenade in the world." We should regret certainly if the cost of the Burmese war should deprive London of the lat ter of these embellishments ; but we donut consider this as very likely, unleis, peradventure, there is a nearer al liance between Col. Tits Nen and the GOLDEN EMPEROR than we arc at present aware 'of; but even so, it is not quite fair to infer that the expense of any measure is un wi.ely incurred because its amount might, if not so applied, have accomplished any other purpose which Lai no relation to it. Rut the gallant Colonel, not satisfied with this in version of all the rules of reasoning, proceeded to declare that " he thought if Lord A sin EAST was allowed to continue at the head of the Government of India he would ultimately be the cause of the total loss of that empire to this country." It would perhaps be difficul to name any Governor-General of whom the same thing has not been prophesied fifty times over. Mto the accu sation of having rashly involved the Company in the war THE' BRITISH PRESS at present waging agaitug the Birman empire, Lord Aw n XIIST, we think, may confidently call for an acquittal on that score. With a view to reinoving the misconceptions which we have reason to believe prevail very generally upon this subject, we purpose, either to-morrow or on Mon day, to entet fully into the came of this war—the manner in which it has been conducted—and the objects ultimately to be secured by it ; and thus to enable the public in this country to form their opinion, on adequate and authentic evidence, and not, as at present, from hearsay statements and the misrepresentations of party. CITY, THURSDAY EvrmiNn. The Stock Market has been dull and depressed all day. Many reports of commercial failures have been in circula tion ; some of the parties named are of the highest respect ability. The letters from the manufacturing districts are also of an unfavourable nature.

This callul up Mr. Faber, of Swinton, who, in an animated speech o: considerable length, denied the necessity of appointing a committee—ridiculed the objects of the meetings—declared his willingness, if any plan could be suggests' to enable the partners to manage their own affairs—to put himself at the bottom of the list of creditors, and to receive his claim the last—and finally silo. gised the characters of the whole of the partners, but more particu larly that of Mr. Rialiwortb, and concluded his eloquent address, which was more an appeal to the feelings than to the judgment of the meetieg, by imploring them on behalf of the partnere, in the emphatic language of Scripture, •• Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

JOSEPH lIADWEN...—.It is with much regret we have to state that the very respect able bank of Mr. Joseph Hadwen, in this town, suspended payment yesterday morning: the pressure of the times, and the difficulty of converting bills and other securities into cash, have led to this cirannatance ; which, it is to be feared, will be productive of much incouvenience to a number of tradesmen and others in the town and neigh bourhood; though we hope there will not be much, if any, ultimate loss, as we can state, from authentic information, that the assets of the hank appear at present quite suffi cient to satisfy all claims upon the bank.—Liverpool courier. GRAVESEND BA N a.—On Saturday last the creditors held their final meeting in Gravesend Town Hall, when Messrs. Rosser and Harman, the respectable guarantees, signed the agreement to pay, agreeably to the first proposals, Its. in the pound, by three instalments ; after which Mr. Rosser observed, that though highly liberal remarks had been made upon the guarantees, they were ready to meet the wishes of the public, by paying immediately iOs. in the pound in full of all demands; or Its. in six months, which they pleased.—Maidstone DEAL Basx.—The atrangements which were making for the adjustment of the claims on this bank, by a deed of trust, it is much to be regretted, from the obstinacy of a few discontented creditors, could not be carried into effect, and the consequence is that a commission of bankrupt has been obliged to be opened against a firm which showed assets to the amount of 30s. in the pound.— Kentish (A eon it. Ir. We have just seen a specimen of typography, executed by Mr. Johnson, the indefatigable author of 7 :vpogrophia, which forms the most splendid example of the art that has ever been presented tc the public eye. To the most common observer the effect is splendid and striking ; but to those who are aware of the difficulty of producing pictorial or perspective effect by typographic arrangement this specimen will appear not only beautiful but astonish ing. It represents an arched temple of great beauty and proportion, erected to the memory of Caxton, IVynkyn (le Worde, and the other early printers, whose names adorn the capital awl base of each pillar; the centre is occupied by a handsome tablet, expressive of the object of the erection, surmounted by a well-executed bust of Caxton. and the effect of the whole is that of a finely•executed engraving, with the addition of a sparkling richness, pro duced by the tasteful combination of 60,000 beautiful and variegated types. We congratulate the admirers of beau tiful typography on this accession to their stores, and heartily wish its ingenious constructor the reward due to his taste and perseverance. _ _ On Sunday morning, about ten o'clock, five or six young men went off to sea in a boat, and amused themselves with firing at sea-gulls. While engaged in this occupation, lo very proper on a Sunday, some of the shots struck the win dows of the Star and Garter Hotel and the adjoining house, in each of which they broke two panes of glass, one being on the ground floor and the other on the first floor, Mr. Hewitt's nephew, a child about seven or eight years of age, was standing at the time at the window, within a foot of the pane that was struck by the shot, and it is easy to perceive how dangerous a practice like this must he. Mr. Hewitt, on the return of the boat to the shore, by virtue of the authority vested in him as a Commissioner by a clause in the new Act of Parliament, seized the gun. ans.: nn Monday morning very properly obtained summonses against the man who tired it, and also against the owner, and another person, who obstructed and used threatening language towards him.—Brighton Gazette. Me curs A l' BE RAIUDA.—The Bermuda papers contain an account of a very horrid murder at St. George's, in that colony, a crime unprecedented there. It appears that se veral wanton outrages having been committed in that place, Mr. Hunter, the Magistrate, considered it propr to take notice of a complaint preferred by a free man of colour. against one Benjamin Gwynn, which terminated by his or dering the latter to find sureties to keep the peace, and as this order was set at defiance, Gwynn was finally committee! to gaol. In consequence of this, Joseph Gwynn, the father of B. Gwynn, declared he would murder Mr. Hunter, and after furnishing himself with artrs, he proceeded, on the .sth of Ducein!wr, about six o'clock, to the house of Mr. Hunter, but this gentleman having been informed of his intentions, refused to see him. Mr. Hunter bad sent a messenger to Mr. Folger. of St. George's, stating that he understood Gwynn was armed with pistols for the purpose of shooting him, which induced Mr. F. to set out for Mr. H.'s house ; on his way to which he met Gwynn, wlio was uttering violent threats against the Magistrate, which in duced Mr. F. to remonstrate with him, and the result was that Gwynn filially discharged the contents of a pistol into the body of Mr. F, of which wound he expired at three o'clock on die following morning. The Coroner's I oque.:t haul returned a verdict of" Wilful Murder agsinst Gwynn," and he has been committed for trial, as well as his twt• a , ns, as accessafe; before the fact. rllorixcrAr, RANKS. The prospectus of a " Provincial Bank of Eng!and" with a capital of five millions, Is now eirenlatio g i n t h e City, where we are informed it meets with considerable couragement from the mercantile world. Should tier view % of NI inistera he found favourable to the project, we um!". stand that moistures will be takeq immediately after the meeting of Parliament to carry it into execution : PROVINCIAL BANK OF ENGLAND, CAPITAL, Z6.004,00t1. Notwithstanding the numerous failures that occur wove or, vale bankers in England, there is no business more safe and joiSk i _ able than banking when conducted by public companiee. Their known capital and numerous proprietory give thin, s credit which is never 'Mitten ; while they are ennstraired the nature of th e i r emist i tut i on to confine their bu s i ness to harki-' on the strict es t an d moat legitimate principles. • • t The instances are consequently rare in which such comptrie; have cot proved highly successful. lu Scotland, where the hanke.e business is principally engrossed by them, the capital rocks be a , Is general from one to three hundred, and there are instance, of some bearing upwards of I.ooof. per cent. premium. obi l p ; eerti Charter ehr ei r t t a r rn ti ,b sh ru m t kh e ei nn Bank s h cn a ok s tno br a nnEi England, riiiivcieethn limits l e rs,i i ts n this hob ne aafi 1822, made an arrangement with the flank of England to pa lm the establishment of Joint Stock Banking Companies at a dietasm exceeding fie miles from London, which arrange ment was s , t carried into effect at the time in consequence of the opposition item likely to meet with in Parliament. The late groundless alarms with regard to the credit of bank; which has been productive of such fatal consequences, did not ex. tend to Scotland, and the superiority of that system of banking which it was the wish of lifinieters to introduce into this menu, in 1822, has thus received a practical demonstration which sun have convinced the whole uation of the utility and necessity o f such a measure. It ie, therefore. presumed that this next Statist Ministers will renew their former proposals to the Bank, more especially if they perceive any disposition to promote the forinstien of such tstahliehments. It is consequently proposed to hold a meeting of gentlemem friendly to an improvement in the resent syste m o f enuner , banking, in order to d ec l are t h e i r sentiments upon the subject, and for the purp ose o f f orm i ng a Committee , to promote the establish. ment of a bank upon the following principles, embodlet in tie r shape of resolutions, to be submitted to the consideration of tke meeting. " That a Bank, to be called the Provincial Bank of Erglantl. be established, in London, with 6,000,0 MM of capital, more or ler, if it shall hereafter be found desirable either to increase or mini‘h it." " That a subscription be opened for two millions in the int instance, alter which the capital will be increased by eddinaes, made in equal proportion, to the stork of the original subscribers who may choose to accept the add"ineal stork offered Mere. •' That a separate batik be establ.shel in every principal town rr county in the kingdom, 'fere xo..m establishments shall be equiv.-I to be formed, with a separate capital proportionate to the titmice., of the place, to be called the Provinviucial Bank of the place to which it is situated, and to be connected with the London Company in the following manner:_ " That two-thirds or three fourths of the capital of each of these establishments be subscribed on the spot, and that one-third or one fourth be subscribed by the London Co m p an y. " That the Directors or these estahliehnients sheltie elected b their remective local Shareholders, subject to the approbation of y the London Company. That the Directors of these Eetablishrnente shall elect their own Officers; but the principal Officer or Officers who may be required toassiat in the general management, shall be elected, sue. ject to the approbation of the Directors in London. " That the Director, of these establishments shall have the management of their respective banks, put periodical statements of the affairs of each shall be submitted to the London Board, who abed have the power to call for accounts, and investigate their affairs, by Inspectors or otherwise, at any time they shall see proper. " That the London Directors shall have the power of eh , missing, when necessary. any Officer of any Bank, and of callirC upon the Directors to appoint another more fit end eligible person in his place ; and also of dismissing any Director or Directors, ral of calling upon the Shareholders to supply their places by a new election, upon stating good and sufficient grounds for so doing. And they shall also have the power of interfering with the manage ment where it may be necessary. " That these banks shall draw upon the London establishment, which shall act as their Agent upon the urinal terms, should Oa be allowed by the alteration that shall be obtained in the Bark charter. That the London Company shall be managed by a Court of Acting Directors, consisting of not lees in number then fifteen, red not exceeding twenty four, as shall be hereafter determined, together with Auditors, Honorary Director., Presidents. Vice- Preeitlents, or Governors, Provided such officers be thought de 'arable or expedient. " That one-half or two-thirds of the Directors shall be expo. rienced merchants, or men of business in London. " 'that a Committee, with power to add to their number, shaft be chosen, to form these establishments, receive subscriptions, elect the proper Directors, dm for the London Company, apply to Mi. !listens, and take whatever steps shall appear to them necessary to carry the object of the proposed Meeting into effect, and to remain a Committee until that be accomplished. " That the constitution of the country banks shall be suited to the local circumstances of each, and be arranged with Committees of local Shareholders." By this plan each country bank will erjoy the additional crerEt afforded by the capital of the London Company, and a salutary check over the management of its affairs. This will facilitare the object proposed by the alteration of the Bank Charter. It will increase the heneral confidence in the safety and success of these establishments, and induce persons of property in the country to embark in them with great readiness, while, by the agency and assistance of the London Directors, they will be more wily formed, and their arrangements completed. As there is a much better field for banking in England than in Scotland, the success of the Scotch banks leaves no doubt of the success of the proposed establishments. In which success, it may be observed, the London Company will participate, bz having its capital invested in them in the shape of Convertible Stock, which may be either diminished or increased by sale or purchase as way be thought desirable. The duties of the London Board, though important, will neither occupy much of the time of the Directors, nor render a large esta blishment necessary. If the Bank Charter be altered immediately, it must be six or nine months before any capital can he required. In the meantime a deposit of I per cent. wilt be called for to corer the expeoacs that may be incurred. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH' Plass. St a,—llaving read, in your Paper of yesterday, that ti e Commissioners of the Insolvent Debtors' Court mean, aft, r the Ist of Febrialry, to adopt one at least of the suggestions contained ia your Paper of the 19th inst., with respect to the retainer to attorneys, I cannot but express my sur prise at the delay of an hour, when it is well known that most of the commitments and surrenders will be made in the present month, being the first returns of the Term, and that consequently almost the whole, with their attendant connexion, will pass through the hands of agents. Already has the alarm among these desperate men become general, and their thoughts directed to some other source of liveli hood. Not a 'moment should be lost in sending recom mendations to the London prisons, that their names may he removed from the view of the debtors, and those of the attorneys, accompanied with the rules of Court, affixed up in their stead. 'The measure itself is undoubtedly a good one, and re quired no apology from the Commissioners, but it can only be considered as one of many fundamental alterations now absolutely necessary. They most not suffer themselves to he misled by certificates irregular!) , taken out at any pe riod of the year, or by men who have subjected theinselv, s to the necessity of Re-admission ; much less should they give a tacit sanction to those mea who are at this hour prat.- t sing without any certificate at all, of which I could A: re Revert)! irostattres. They must attempt, by some or all of the very obvious measures I have already suggested, to rllt a stop to the practice of fictitious, fraudulent, and collusive arrests, surrenders, and reinov4ls in perron. They must give publicity to the names of their attorneys and their own rules, and, as fares possible, protect the attorney, not only against the insolvent, but the swarm of stewards, calla, and criers, who oppose and intimidate the respectable practiser. 'l'bey must allow hint to be a competent witne.s to any do cument necessary for him to produce upon his oath, and personally to control and correct the delays and errors of tie messengers. They should at once give a tone and chirae ter to their practice by a series of well-digested rules, in stead of the rules hitherto only occasionally made, eitht r from the spur of the moment or the call of the public press. When they shall have attempted this, and made their balance sheet more intelligible, their Court, which is now. unhappily for the public, become permanent, will be at tended by attorneys neither int an nor ignorant, nor indif ferent to the interests-of their clients. 1 am, Sir, Your very ()hilt& and obedt. servant, Jan. 2C), 1826.
