THE SELF-ILLUMINATING NIGHT or DAY LAMP, producing PERMANENT LIGHT by touching a string. This invention combines utility, economy,durability, and safety ; it is equally adapted to the drawing.room, the library, the chamber of the invalid, and the office of the man of business, ai,d is expected to supersede everything of the kind now in use. When required for tile night. the Lamp may be placed in any part of the room, and the string attached to the bed, by merely pulling which, light is produced. In the day it may be used fur sealing letters, etc. without the siring. To the army, the navy, the law, and the faculty, the student at the university and in chambers, to merchant's and bankers. to public offices and private families, for every bed-room, to Cap tains of ships and travellers in general, and for the insides of carriages, it is particularly recommended ; and to the lovers of novelty slid the curious in science, it may form an accept. able present. If allowed to burn, the Lamp will yield a steady light for eighteen or twenty hours, without trimming. It is so portable, that it may be carried in the pocket; an simple, that a child may use it ; and so cleanly, that it may be packed with the finest Ibsen immediately after use. By shutting the box, the works are so nicely fitted, that nothing tan escape, in whatever positioa it may he placed. As a proof of his, it has been sent. when fully trimmed, and charged with nil, acid, and matches, from London to Edinburgh, by the mail-coach, as a loose parcel, and arrived in perfect security.

LONDON, THURSDAY, M•Y 11, 1821. We have received the French Papers of Monday, and the Eloile of Tuesday. The disputes about the property of BONAPARTE have been amicably adjusted, in consequence of the disinte rested and honourable conduct of M. J. LAFITTE, who has done every thing in his power to accomplish, in every respect, the intentions of the testator. The reply of the Moniker to the observations of the Oracle of Brussels, respecting the number of commissions thrown up by French officers since 1816, is treated by the Constiletiennel as by no means satisfactory. The official Paper has confessed, says the latter Journalist, that there have been more than 3,000 resignations since 1816. A Commission, under the presidency of the Vicomte de la LAROCHEFOUCAULD, has been sitting for some time, and came to a conclusion in its eighteenth meeting, which took place on Saturday last. It has come to the resolution that copyrights should be ex tended to fifty years after the author's death ; but if twenty years should elapse without a new edition, they are then to become public property, and after putting the heir en denicure (setting aside his rights on account of his non performance of the conditions in due time), any one is then to have it in his power to reprint them. The projet de lui which has been prepared consists of eight or ten articles. Letters from Lyons announce that the crop of silk is in extreme danger. All eyes are fixed on the barometer and the mulberry leaves, a rise in the price of silk being con sidered as one of the greatest calamities that could happen, in the state of suffering to which this important branch of industry is already reduced. A treaty of commerce, founded on principles of reciprocal advantage, has been signed, between Sweden and Norway on the one hand, and Great Britain on the other. It is now said that the Kiaja,Osmear BEY, surnamed the Penil of Me Crown of Glory, was wounded in one of the attacks on Missolonghi. Tip abandonment of Tripolizza by SE I.V I.:8, appears to be confirmed. Sir F. ADAM landed on the 18th inst. at Ancona, on his way to London. Letters from Zante, which arrived at the same time, state that Missolonghi was only provisioned for twelve days, and that IsaAnist had changed his siege into a blockade. Six thousand men are said to have been sent from Napoli to Latona, to which place IBRAHIM has detached several regiments to observe them. A steam-boat from London, for the use of the Greeks, had reached Napoli, where Colonel GORDON was also expected with supplies of money. The Arabs are supposed to have set fire to the quarters of the wafflers, when they were attacked by the garrison of Missolonghi, and suffered considerable loss. Tnirsvt, Aram 25. Letters from Corfu of the 13th inst. announce that the Egyp tians Gave made another unsuccessful attack on 31issolonghl on the 6th of April. The Greeks consider this attack as the last, beeause the besbgers have since continued quiet is their tamp. Admiral iaulis is arrived with h!s Heet, and is said to have re-victualled Missolonghi for two months. The wound of Ibrahim (some say Iledschitl) seems to be confirmed.—Angtsterg Gazette.. The Austrian garrison left Palermo on the 9th of April.— Journal dcr Debuts. The secret documents relating to Spain, which we lately procured by a private channel, showed that the police en tertained apprehensions of fresh dangers from the Apostoli cal party. Proofs of the truth of these apprehensions have been manifested at Zamora and several other towns, where serious popular commotions have broken out on several recent occasions. RECACHO has obtained permission to raise a corps of 100 mounted gendarmes for Madrid, and the Minister of War is to add 6,000 men to his effective force. We learn now that C•PAPE'S acquittal has not been confirmed, and that be has been condemned to six years banishment to Porto Rico. Mr. LAMB, the English Ambassador, who has been less assiduous in his attendance at Court for some time than the other foreign Ministers, set out lately in baste for Aran juez, after receiving despatches from his Government. Ile has addressed two memorials to the Duke Del IN ea NTADO, one upon the affairs of South America, and another about the payment df the French debt. %Viten the last negotiation took place relative to the pro longed occupation of Spain by the French troops, the French Minister insisted on the necessity of having the ex penses of the war reimbursed before quitting the country; and it is in consequence of this demand that our Minirry has thought it necessary to recommend this course to the Government of Spain. _ The.Dake del INFANTADO pergeveres without effect in soliciting the King for permission to resign. He is said to have frequent interviews with Englishmen of distinction, but it is supposed to be on private business. The King continues to support the police against the Council of State. The Infant Don FRANCIS DE PAOLO opened the sitting of the Council of State on 25th April, by reading a decree of the King, which contained the following expressions : " Convinced by my own experience of the insuffidency of the ordinary means for discovering and prosecuting crimes of conspi. racy against the State, I have resolved that a Police should' exist In my kingdom, and I have authorized the Minister of Graft and Justice to draw up a plan, by means of which we may correct the vices which may be discovered in this institution, in order to carry it to perfection. Whenever this plan is completed I will submit it 'o the Council of State, and after having heard its advice, I will take that resolution which I shall then think proper." Letters from Martinico of the Ist March state that the Colony continues in a state of agitation, and that the sen sation produced by the late Proclamation of Sir It. Woon ro RD has induced the authorities of the island, under the pretence of supplying the deficiencies of the garrison, occa sioned by sickness, to arm the national guard, which is principally composed of free men of colour, who bad been disarmed in 1823. The Creoles of the island say that ener getic measures are necessary, to prevent the contagion from reaching their own slave population. A new court, called the Cour Preadole, has been recently instituted, without any due authority, for punishing offences among the people of colour. The seeds of discord seem already to have taken pretty deep root in America, and the island of Cuba seems likely soon to produce contention in that quarter, if some scheme of compromise should not be adopted to prevent internal commotion' amongst the slave population, whose unsettled state is regarded with much alarm both by Mexico and the United States. • The Moniteur now admits that there is no hope of re covering South America for Spain by force of arms. It de dares that their independence must be acknowledged in the end. This, coupled with the mission of able and respect able agents to these States, shows that the French Govern ntent is upon the point of taking a decisive step to procure the acknowledgment of their independence by Spain. It is insinuated, at the same time, that Spain ought to obtain some pecuniary indemnity for such an ac knowledgment. This, in connection with the representa tions of the English Ambassador at Madrid, may serve to show in what way the public debts of Spain are expected to be paid ; it also shows on what circumstances the re moval of the French troops from Spain depends. The following account from the Angshurgh Gazette, of the anticipated change in the Russian Ministry, tends to confirm the opinions which we have frequently advanced respecting the intentions of the new CZAR with regard to Greece. Count CAPO D'ISTRIA is known to be favourable to the Greek cause ; and Count firnocoNOFF, by his con duct in his Turkish mission, displayed similar sentiments. [From the Aug:burgh Gazette.l ST. PETERSBUROH, Arad. 4. Several changes are spoken of as about to take place in the Councils and the Ministry. The Minister of Justice, Prince La. banow.Rostowsky, is reported to have sent in his resignation. M. de Speronsky, formerly Governor of Siberia, is mentioned as his successor. Count Victor de Kotachubey will resume the portfolio of the Minister of the Interior. Count Capo d'lstria and Count Srogonoff are also expected at St. Petersburgh ; both are to be nominated to important offices. General BenkenJorf, who has returned from Carlsruhe, is to be Minister of War. The Director. General of the Post-office, Prince Alexander Galimin, received a Ukase, dated in January, appointing him pro tempore Director of the Appanages of the Crown. The intolerable tyranny under which the Christian po pulation of Egypt at present groans, seems not less deserv ing of attention, at the present moment, than the unhappy situation to which Greece has been reduced by the ambi tious ruler of Egypt. The fact seems in general to be overlooked, that the Copts, the original native inhabitants of Egypt, are Christians as well as the Greeks ; and that it is by the fruits of their industry, wrung from them by the hand of tyranny, that the war against their brethren on the other side of the Levant, is now carried on by MEIIE• MET, through his army commanded by his son lona nisi. The following is an extract of a private letter from Alexandria, dated the 7th of March : " Egyyt, exhausted as it is both of men and money, begins to complain of its Puha. What adds to the public irritation is, that his agents render the monopoly of their master still more odious by their vexatious conduct. The produce of the country does not now yield him so much as he had expected. Cotton, for instance, sells at scarcely one-third of what was anticipated, and more than 90,000 bales have been sold at this reduced price. The crop of this year, which was expected to be dot.ble that of last year, will not be more abundant than before, half being spoiled on the stalk for the want of hands to gather it. This is another consequence of the war, which has carried off from the fields all the labourers, who have been obliged to leave the country for fear of being enlisted and compelled to serve in Greece. One more expedition like the last would be nearly sufficient to depopulate Egypt, at least of its useful cultivators." CITY, u ..'E'DNESDAY EVENING. There was considerable cheerfulness in the English Funds this morning, and Consols, from advanced to 78i a, but left off at ; and the New Scrip rose to pm.: but the principal improve ment was in the Foreign Market, in which South American Stocks were held very lightly. The fall of Callao, the rumour of the Concress at Panama being about to discuss the propriety of all the States affording an indemnity to Colombia, for her efforts in libe rating South America from the mother country, together with the report of a Peruvian Loan being about to be negotiated for the same purpose, caused extensive business to be done in Trans atlantic Securities, and had a most favourable effect on Colombian Bonds in particular, which reached 441. Mexican 8 per Cents. advanced to Cilla ; and Peruvian Bonds, from 30 to 32. Greek Bonds were ; Spanish, 0 ; and Russian Stock, 76 : indeed all the attention of jobbers was turned to the Stocks connected with the New States. Although Shares were nominally at higher prices, no one seemed inclined to purchase at the advance, and the consequence was, a complete stagnation of business in this Market, which yesterday appeared to be reviving.

MASONIC INSTALLATION AT MANCHESTER.—Extract of a letter dated Manchester, May 6th :—" On Monday last, a highly respectable body of Freemasons, to the num ' ber of 487, assembled at the Emporium Rooms, in Ex change -street, for the purpose of installing the Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master, John Crossley, of Scaitcliffe and Rochdale, Esq., whose appointment to that high office, by his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, M.W.G.M. bad a short time previously taken place. After the ceremony of installing Brother Crosby as P.G.M. of the Eastern Division of Lancashire, which was attehiltd by all the principal lodges in the country, the Brethren adjourned to the hotel in King-street, where a sumptuous banquet was provided, of wild) upwards !of 120 of the members of the craft partook ; the P.G.M. in the chair. The usual toasts, as given on those occasions, were drank - with the accustomed honours, and the evening passed away with the greatest hilarity." The subscribers and friends to the " Sunday School Union" partook of a public breakfast on Tuesday morning, at six o'clock, at the City of London Tavern. Them , ' Pellatt, Esq. (in the absence t f Joseph Butterworth, Esq. M.P.) presided, and at the conclusion of the repast, Den' rid clergymen addressed the meeting at considerable length. There were upwards of 1,200 persons present. The following is a copy of a letter, laid on the table of the News Room, Liverpool, dated Stettin, Mh April, 1826 : The Wool Market will be held here this year on the liith,l3dls and 14th June; dealers in w o o l can , therelaire, after the expiration of the same, visit that of Berlin, which commences on the 16111 June, travelling being, now that the turnpike road to that capital is nearly finished, pleasant and comfortable. The Committee of the Wool Market, instituted by me law year, will continue their exertions to give ever) support to this branch of trade, as well also the important institutions here. The Royal Sea Trade Society, the Provincial Pomeranian Bank, as also many respectable houses, will be prepared with 110 1 Pla means to supply such merchants as are purchasing here. Ships will be ready to convey by sea such wool as is destined for foreign places. I therefore flatter myself that our market will again be visited by numemus dealers in wool, and that they will leave it with that satisfaction which was generally manifested last year. Signed SACK.
