The Journal d.s R••buls exults greatly in the failure of tlas Minister's plan for the conversion of the renter. " This project," the journalist exclaims, " is then declared to be abortive ; but at the same moment we are threatened with repayment! Thus it is, we bare one law after another, some rejected by the Chambers,' and the others by the public, until at length we witness a complete overthrow of our whole financial system." The only foreign intelligence is these papers of any interest is that relating to Greece. It is vague and con tradictory. In some accounts the Greeks are represented to be carrying on the campaign with success, and repuls ing all the attacks of their barbarian enemies, while in others, the conquest of the Mores is stated to be almost achieved. The udvices from Zante, dated sth of June, give extracts from the Greek journals respecting the mea sures adopted for the promotion of education. According to these advices, the Greek Government was proceeding with the organization of public schools throughout the territory of Greece, as steadily and tranquilly as if no danger menaced the country. A decree had been issued by the Senate, appointing an inspector-general of educa tion, and fixing the nature of his duties,. By another decree a central school had been established at Ar gos. At Athens there were already five schools, two of mutual instruction, consisting of four hundred scholars, two for the study of the ancient Greek, and the • Italian and French languages, and one for history and phi losophy. This does not seem like the conduct of a Go vernment on the point of destruction. It more resembles that of a new State, certain of achieving its independence and forming beforehand the necessary arrangements for the construction of the social edifice. It is to be remarked, too, that the last letters from Corfu, which come down to , the Isth of June, while they confirm the news that the' greater part of Modon had been blown up in the affair of the Nth of May last, say not a word of the alleged capi tulation of Navarino. The following extract from the Quolidienne, however, draws a melancholy picture of the, state of Greece:— TAIVATZ CORILESPONDENCE. Justr 4. Namine is in the hands of Ibrahim Paella. This news is cer tain. and spreads affliction among the Greeks of the Isles. This important place, reduced to extremities by the destructive fire of the mortars, surrendered by capitulation. The garrison of 1,500 men, and all the Christian inhabitants of the town, have been em. barked in English and Austrian vessels, and conveyed to Calamano Ibrahim Pacha immediately gave orders to repair the foitifications, in order to make this a third point d'appui for his future operations. Tint direction of the works is confided to Solomon Bey (La Seve) , and the Frznch and Italian Engineers in the Egyptian service, Ibrahim Pacha has commenced his march towards Tripolitza, in tending to make himself m as te r of th at t own , an d to push his one.. rations at the same time to Napoli Ai Romania. the seat of th Greek Government. Many Moreote families emigrate, and severae of them have already arrived at Zante ; others are expected I in our island. On the other hand, Redscilia Pacha is carrying on the seige of 3liasolongiti wilt great activity, and the Greeks are assured that that place, the fortifications of which are unhappily in a bad condition, will not be able to hold out long, elieciatly as it is ill supplied with ammunition. It ia now affirmed that the left wing of the army of the Seraskier of Itomelia has occupied Salona. The loss which the Egyptian fleet sustained in the night of the lath May, in the roads of Mode'', seem to have been greatly ex aggerated, especially in the report of Colonel Itotticrs. The taking of Navarino, which TM several days subsequent to this event, but too clearly proves that the action, which sonic would represent as ' decisive of the affairs of the Morea, has had no influence on the operations of Ibrahim Pacha. In general, people have no idea of the activity of imprudent fri e nd s o f the Greeks, especially those in the islands, who spread false and ridiculous reports. They invent battles which never took place; for Instance, that of the 17th of April, near Anatolico, in which the army of Redschid Paths was annihilated with a dash of the pen. We may easily convince our selves of the falsehood of these accounts, by consulting the Greek journals of Missolonglii and Hydra. unless we choose to suppose that the Greeks pass over in silence their own triumphs. Neither the Dare nor the ("ours Austicotique was re ceived last night. The Picton arrived at Liverpool on Thursday from Puerto Cabello, from whence she sailed on the 20th May. This vessel brings no confirmation of the fall of Callao. The account is the same as arrived by the Vulture. The report rests on the authority of a Gentleman who had arrived at Puerto Cabello on the 12th of May, from Valencia, and who stated that an express had reached the latter place just before he left it, with the intelligence in question. In another column, we have given the Report of the Select Committee appointed by the House of Lords to H inquire into the state of Ireland, more particularly with reference to the circumstances which may have led to the disturbances in that part of the United Kingdom." The inquiry has been of the most comprehensive nature. Every subject connected with the welfare of that country has been investigated, and a large body of evidence com piled from the examination of " such persons as appeared best qualified to elfin' information." The whole of this evidence will be published, accompanied with an index, for convenient reference. We shall thus have a compilation the most valuable and authentic with relation to Ireland that can by any means be obtained. The witnesses examined by the Committee were " per sons of various ptofcssions, and of different stations in life." Every precaution therefore has been taken in thi, respect to procure the most correct information on the subjects. to which the attention of the Committee has been directed. IVith regard to the civil disabilities of the Roman Catholics and the present state of the elective franchise, the Committee have confined their labours simply to the collection of evidence. Considering these as great con stitutional questions, they have abstained from making any observations, except as to the latter, suggesting the pro priety of a more effectual provision against the creation of fictitious or fraudulent qualifications. As to the education of the poor, little evidence was taken, as that subject is already in the hands of a Com mission who have ably and zealously discharged their duty. The subject to which the Committee seem wisely to have given their most careful attention, was the actual state of the relations between landlord and tenant. No subject can be more important in a country like Ireland, suffering so deeply from the absence of the gentry, and the substitution of a pernicious race of middlemen. Amongst the evils of this system, the Committee found the principal represented to be, " the minute subdivision of land—the number of persona who intervene between the bead landlord and the immediate occupier —the extreme difficulty of preventing the sub-letting of land—and the power possessed by every intermediate landlord, as well as the principal landlord, to distrain the occupying tenant." The Report states that many valuable suggestions for the improvement of the law respecting the relations between landlord and tenant will be found in the evidence, and recommends the subject especially to the consideration of Parliament. It is, however, observed, that already a gra dual remedy is beginning to be applied to the subdivision of land, by the increasing intelligence of the proprietors. By way of remedy for the abuses to which the system of Grand Jury presentments is liable, the Committee ad vise, that if it should still be deemed expedient to con tinue to vest in the Grand Juries all the functions at pre sent belonging to them, " that portion of their proceedings, which relates to the levying and expenditure of the public money," should be conducted with open doors, and under the eyes of the people. It is also suggested that the " as sesrrneuts for objects of a permanent nature ought to fall, in future leases, upon landlords and tenants in their due proportion." do better check than that of publicity can be devised for the removal of the evils of corrupt or impro vident expenditure on the pert of the Grand Juries. These functions are essentially distinct from those rclating 'to thel administration of juitice. In the levying and expen diture of public money, the Grand Jury act as public officers. No good purpose can be answered by secrecy on such occasions. The Report next urges the expediency of separating the civil and criminal business of the Quarter Sessions, and adverts to the constitution of the Civil Bill Courts. Re presentations, it appears, have also been made against the mode in which the process of Custodiatn writs is executed in the superior Courts, and also respecting mesne process. Several important suggestims are made as to the office of Sub-Sheriff, and the proceedings of the Magistrates in corporate towns, which are stated to be more frequently exceptionable than those of the county Magistrates. A provision has been strongly recommended for the relief of the aged and infirm poor, " it not by law (to which great objections had been stated), at least by organising the col lection and distribution of charitable contributions." " In addition to the above," the Report goes on to state, " information has been collected respecting the encourage ment of emigration—the extension of public works of unquestionable utility—the extension of the fisheries—the regulation or abolition of Manor Courts—the constitution and powers of Vestries—and the subordinate administra tion of justice." In conclusion, the Committee enumerate the different measures which, according to the evidence before them, have, in a greater or less degree, contributed to the im provement of the state of Ireland : " The establishment of the police and constabulary fern—the revision of the Magistracy, as far as it has gone—the meeting of the Magistrates in Petty SCSaiors— r the ndminis:ration of justice by the assistant Barsiatersk—the change which has taken plAce of !ate years in the mode of appointik Sheriffs—the public works un dertaken by the Executive Government—the alteration in the sys- tern of the Distillery LIMP, and in the general ntode of collecting the revenue—the remission of all direct taxes—the re?eal of the Union Duties, and the increased facility of commercial intercourse, have all contributed, not only to remove grievances, but to improve the situation of the country. •` The composition for tithe, under the authority of the Acts passed in the two last Sessions of Parliament, has been hitherto as rapid and as beneficial as could have been expected under the circumstances of the times; and the greatest advantages may rea sonably to anticipated front the further progress of this important measure. " The restored tranquillity of the country has already afforded the opportunity for a more extensive introduction of different branches of manufacture ; and should it fortunately continue unin terrupted, the best hopes may be entertained, that by furnishing employment to the poorer classes, one of the greatest incentives to disturbance may be permanently removed." The Times is resolved to find fault with the " City," happen what may. This Journal has suddenly assumed a high tone of moral feeling, equally edit) ing and sur prising to its readers. Its hatred of "gambling" leads it to abuse every new undertaking with transferable shares. " Mining concerns" especially are " gambling—gambling all !" When the fever of speculation was at its height, the Times was as suspiciously silent as if the whole atten tion of its conductors had been absorbed in soliciting shares. They never complained then that cautions were not issued "against dealings in shares of mushroom companies," but now, when the infatuation is no more, they' rail against the Committee of the Foreign Mock Exchange, because, in consequence of some recent transactions of a question able character, they have warned the members of their society to look to the respectability of the companies in whose shares they traffic. Gambling in shares is no doubt a vice, and so is gambling in tallow or hemp. We com plain that the Times, under pretoice of upholdiEg " com mon honesty and plain dealing," is seeking, far purposes of its own, to cast a false imputation generally on the " City." The insidious attempt to connect the appearance of the new Brazil Mining Association with the notice from the Committee of the Foreign Stock Exchange, particu larly deserves to be reprobated. That notice was no " com mentary," as the 7'imes pretends, upon that Association. It was aimed at a very different object. The respectable names in the direction of the Castello and Espirito Santo Association will bear it harmless from the spiteful and scandalous insinuations of the Times. CITY, FItTDAY EvrxTgc. The Consols for the settlement opened this morning at 91R but they did not long maintain this value, having declined before noon to 911 R. Money Stock, nevertheless, was so scarce that the Com. missiuners for the Sinking Fund paid for it at the rate of 9IR, when it was difficult to sell at the same price fur the Account. The divi dends. this day, were payable to the public; but an idea having latterly prevailed that better employ ment for money would be found on the Continent than in the British Funds, it was generally ex pected that the demand for foreign bills would lu.ve caused an unfavourable alteration in the Foreign Exchanges. This idea, however, proved erroneous, fur there was little money ^a the con trary for foreign bills on the Royal Exchange this afternoon, and the rate of exchange consequently rather improved than otherwise. The Consols, which had advanced previous to the closing of the markets to 91., became, on this tact having been established, much in demand, end considerable purchases were made at ;n o , making the price 91H, with a gold appearance in the marker after its close. A quantity of the dividends was paid in the new gold coinage, which it is but justice to the Master of the Mint to state is executed with great beauty. The payment of the interest of the national debt in specie must increase the value of paper currency, for so long as the latter must be paid in the lawful coin of the realm, on demand, it must possess the most perfect serur4y, and must be more valuable than a ,metallic currency in proportion to the cheapness at which it can be issued, and the facility with which it can he conveyeu even to the most distant part of the civilised world. On the Foreign Stock Exchange, pith the exception of Greek Bonds, which are 1 per cent. lower than they were ',ester ' day, little variation can be noted in the value of European Se curities. There arc no Prussian Donna on vale. Neapolitan, Austrian, and Russian Securities, are also rapidly di-appearing ; they arc drawn into the Continent aiprima very much higher than those at which they were contracted for ; and English capitalists have not only reaped from them .a high annual interest, but have finally sold them to the subjects of the Governments to Whom th e L oam were advanced, at a most profitable premium. South American Bont's arc at present not much in demand. It is difficult to ac. count for this circumstance. They yield a high rate of interest, and the conduct of the Colombian Executive leaves no reason to doubt that the dividends will be duly provided for. In as far as cir cumstances permit, this young government displays great virtue. Trade is every where encouraged by her duties: slavery is aLolish ed, and one-fourth of the receipts of the Customs has been appro priated to the payment of the annual infrrest of the debt. Mexico certainly has not yet exhibited the practice of the sane enlightened conduct, in us tar as the duties on the importation of foreign pro. ducts are concerned. Still, however, her internal situation is most encouraging, and a little breathing time will teach her Statesmen the true value of liberty. In Mincing Lane them is again a gradual improvement this day in the demand for West India produce, although no actual advance can be quoted in prices. Higher rates are, however, universally calculated on. During this week tobacco has undergone nn improvement of, nearly 25 per cent. There is a large speculation coing on, which, added to increased consumption, is the CAM of this extensive rise in its value. The Allgentrine Zeitung of the ud instant contains an article, dated Corfu, June 7, which states that Ibrahim Patha is still in the Morea, but in I. situation by no mans enviable. The account speaks highly of hi s a bili ty as a commander for having effected the capture of Navarino, which is now mentioned as a fact not likely to be disputed ; and its fall is ascribed to the operations of Mianlis not hav ing been properly supported on the land side. SPORTING INT ELLIGEXCE. HAMPTON RACES. LAST pAY, FRIDAY. JULY 11. The races, notwithstanding the agreeable change in the weather, were not so well attended as on 11'edneulay and Thursday, but the sport was very good, and gave unqualified approbation.

Polonaise. and %mous other .if the most celebrated quadrilles, kept the company together till an early hour the following morning. The only accident which occurred tn.day, was the running away, and upsetting of a horse anal gig. in which a lady was sitting ; but as it did not happen on the Course, we had rot an opportunity of ascertaining whether it was attended with Cita! consequences. Mr. Ball Hughes gives a (0,114 this day at Oatlands, to most of the nobility who have visited the liaem, after which, it is CK. pected, that several . private hors:, (they ray II or 10) will contest some prises, the days amusements to conclude with a grand ball and sapper.

TIIIM Deem. ON TUESDAY kAST.—The gentleman (Col. R.) who received the ball of his antagonist on Tuesday, still remains at the Red Lion, Highgate. lie was yester day visited by Mr. Branshy Cooper, nephew of Sir Astley Cooper, but we believe the ball is not yet extracted, and that he remains in some danger. Mr. Snow, the surgeon who first saw him, is in constant attendance upon him, and was with him at a late hour last night. Ilia own friends and domestics attend him. The place where the parties met was in Highgate Wood, between the old turn pike on the new road and the Wellington, at a spot cele brated for pigeon-shecting matches. plimisrlinorte SoCIArI, ST. GEORGE'S FIELDS. Yesterday there was a performance tt: .iiereii music in the chapel of this Institution, under the aide direction of a numerous Cora. mittee of Gentlemen. This Society, as is gsnerally known, is intended as an asylum for the children of convicted felon.. it ril.o extends its protection Ito boys who, r.thin the age; of nine and twelve, %timid hate be. come the early tielims of crime. The 11' nevolent intention of the institution is by taking charge of boys of this age whose depravity has brought them thus early to the bar of offended justice, and to rescue them from future ignominy. With this view the cultivation of their minds is sedulously attended to. The organ in the Chapel of this Institution has been lately erected bytiray, and is a very superior instrument of a tine and power, ful tone. Sir tieorge Smart presided for the vocal pieces. but w e apprehend the instrumental performances were tinder the direction of Air. 31`31 tirdie, the organist of the chapel. 'rile hest executed o f the instrumental pieces were. " Ye Sons of I►rael," and •• come Gentle Spring." This last, arranged as it duet by sir. G. C. Sale, and performed by that Gentleman and 31r. Blackhourn, was ex. tremely beautiful. Air. Vaughan gave. • Comfort Ye At y People" a nil great effect. In the word's, •• tier warfare is accomplished:* lie appeared to conceive the whole gra•tdeur of the passage. •• L e m Remember David," by the same gentleman. watisnmething inferior ta the last. SiriGeorge Smart's accompaniment to this air ~:ruck us as particularly fine, and worthy of this exquisite conception of Handers genius. We have never beard Miss Goodall with so much pleasure as iu the stanza in Solomon : _ •• What, though I trace each herb and fba'e Th driblzs the mow. • g dew; Did I not own .lehorah's power Dow rain were all I knew!" In the la;tfine,Witellitfir;t orcurred, she sunk int, a gratic terse, full of pathos. and evincing the most petfect conception it ' tile beautiful thought. It appeared to us that the voice is rot heard to full advantage in this chapel; it seemed to fall whit a dead flatness. which we riii rot exptct in sn small a space. To this we'are willing to tricrit.c the effect of Mr. Phillips's Recitative and Air from Judas M u. cabana, which we should otherwise confider a failure. Even Pita Stephens, in her first sung. " With verdure clad," fell short of our expectations; but ellen she began " I know that my Redeemer 'leech," it was impossible to criticise ; every ear was fettered—the place, the occasion, and the gentle solemnity of the singer, were in holy unison ; we have never heard an Air given with such en. afflicted delicacy—the effect of MUM(' could go no further. A quartet from Dr. eirotch's sliar, •• Im star-left Chiefs," by Miss Stephens, Messrs. Tettail, Vanglian. and Phillips, struck us as ineffective. We were never great admirers of the Piece 1 he vocal performance closed with that most beautiful of Ker .'s e , mreption.—we had almost said, that most beautiful of a:I An. theme_ Hear my prayer,•' and we may saf.:ly say we have never been fortunate enough to hear it an thoroughly understood, or s., sv ecly wng, as by hiss Stephens and Miss Goodall on tl: occa%ion. The whole performance was solemn and effective. well worthy Lf the place and the numerous and !ft Itionablc assemblage present. TIIE LONDON UNIVERSITY. A Proapectus of the plan of the, above Institution is in circulation. The object of the Institution is stated to be 1 to bring the means of a complete scientific and literary leducation home to the doors of the inhabitants of the me tropolis, so that they may be enabled to educate their sons at a very moderate expense, and under their own imme diate and constant superintendence. It is known that a young man cannot be maintained and instructed at Oxford or Cambridge under 2001. or 230/. a year, while the ex penses of many very far exceed this sum ; and the vaca tions last about five months in the year. The whole ex rense of education at the London University will not ex ceed 2.1/. or 30/. a year °, including the SUMS paid to the i general fund ; and there will not he more than ten weeks lof vacation in the year. A suitable piece of ground for the buildings and walks, • and i❑ a central situation, is now in treaty for ; and it is expected that the structure will be completed in August, 182 G, and the classes opened in October following. A fortnight's vacation will be allowed at Christmas and Easter, and six weeks from the middle of August to the end of September. The money being raised by shares and contributions, each holder of a 100/. share will receive interest on the same, at a rate not exceeding ruur per cent., payable half ' yearly, and be entitled to send one student to the Uni versity. The shares will be transferable by sale and be quest; and they will descend to the holder's representa tives in case of intestacy. The money due oar them will he paid by instalments, as it may he required : but it is calculated that only two-thirds will be called for; and the remaining 33 per cent. will be coasidered as a fund of re serve, in ease of any extension of the plan, or other un favourable exigencies. No person can hold more than ten shares. Er.ch contributor of .Su/. will have all the privi leges of shareholders during his life, except that of receiy. ing interest, and transfering his rights. The interest will be paid out of the revenues of the In stitution, and the yearly produce of the sums received from time to time beyond what is required for current ex pt•lses. • This supposas a Student to attend tivo or six of the general classes; bat the medical education is necessarily more experiatre, from the costs of the anatomical department. Ily the arrival of the licia in the Clyde, a file of Bar b:l(l°es papers to the 2.'Alt of May has been received. They are principally filled with the proceedings of the Legislature, the Clergy, and the people, to carry into effect the diffusion of religious knowledge after the forms of the Established Church, by erecting a new church. So strong is the feeling, that the Wesleyan Clergyman sent out to replace Mr. Shrewsbury, declined to land, and bad pro ceeded to St. Vincent's, intending from thence to return to England. The most anxious desire is evinced by all classes to attend, and to get their slaves to attend, the Established Church. The Bishop and the Established Clergy are welconn tl with enthusiasm on all cecasions wherever they go, not only in Barbadovs, but in all the Windward Islands where his Lordship had been. lie had also proceeded. to visit the Leeward Islands, in the Eden, Captain Lawrence, accompanied by the Rcv. Mr. finder and Mr. Coleridge. A letter front Marseilles states, that a vessel had arriv d there from Alexandria with four of her clew dead of the plagua, which, at the tie r • of her sai kig, raged in that city with greater intensity than could be remembered by the oldest inhabitant ! In consequence of this alarming information, the meat rigorous quarantine has been esta blished at Marseilles. The Nurembcrg Correspotuklit, on the authority of leter from Havre, states that negotiations have been re sinned between the Governments of France and Ilayti, throttoli the Medium of a private agent from the President Boyer, tvLicli it is expected will terminate in a recognition of the intlepmdence of the island. The same letter men tions that meetings of merchants have taken place at Havre, Nantes, Bordeaux, and other French sea-ports. to take into consideration the existing commercial relations between France and the New States of South America. Air anxious wish was manifested in these deliberations that the French Government might speedily be induced to igtitate the policy of England. It scents to be expected that such will be the result; and a hope is expre;sed that, at all events, commercial agents will at once be sent out to watch over the interests of the French t:•aders to Colombia, Mexico, and Buenos Ayres. In order to prevent the accidents which so frequently occur to boats proceeding through London Btidge, Capt. Isaac Shaw, of the Royal Navy, proposes, to place two buoys, one on each side of the bridge, at about SO yards distance from it, or farther if necessary. " I would dun," says he, " conduct from one buoy to another a small mope, leading exactly through the centre of one of the small arches.. The boats would then only have to come to the buoy, take in the rope, and pull themselves through the arch by it, until they came to such a distance on the other side, as that their oars would have a •greater effect in pro pelling the boat, than the strength of the current would have in the opposite direction." Dananret. tetnn.—Yesterday evening, about half. Past eight o'clock, the neighbourhood of Cnldbath-fields was thrown two e.untusion by the following melaniboly catastrophe : A mail of the name of Godfrey, about fifty years of age, and who fernerly was an officer of Mary-la-bonne police-office, contrived to effect an entrance, by the back-way, into a shut.up public house. the sign cf the Apple tree, the corner of Great Warner -street, and puffing the muzzle of a loaded pistol into his mouth, literally blew the left side of his face to atoms ; indeed, such wan the hornd spectacle that presented itself, that same time elapsed beret the unfortunate man multi be recognised. It appears, thnt about three leech., ago, the deceased was conveying a prisonrr, named William Thompson, to Coldbath-fields prison, and having nearly reached the place of destination, was prevailed 01 by the prisoner to allow him to take some refreshment before placing him in the custody of the Governor of thet prison, when Thompson ran out of the boar. and although closely I;ursited, succeeded in effecting his escape . , in consequence of which, Gtaltrey ass removed from his sitnauen. The deceased had since been observed in a desponding state, and. watching an opportunity ot• entering the houre whence arose the cause of Iris distress, there terminatail an existence which had be come a burden to Idm.
