It is said that the late revolution in Turkey was quite i unexpected. If a reference be made to the pages of the British Press, a few months back, it will be seen that we anticipated this event, and that we expressly stated that the disasters of the Ottoman forces, and the example of the Egyptians, would at length inducer the Mussulmans to adopt the European system of discipline. The journalists who are fat ourable to the Greeks, both on this and the oilman side of the Channel, seem anxious to throw discredit on the accounts respecting the suc cess of the measures of the SIAT AN. For our parts, we • conceive that the sucoess of this measure is one of the most favourable circuinstances which could have hap pened to the Greeks, because it removes those obstacles which prevented England from interfering decisively by negotiation in their favour. It removes the fears which we might reasonably have entertained respecting Russia, by creating a power capable of overbalancing the enormous resources of that powerful empire. With regard to Greece, however, we do not mean to say that the to san guine views of the Hellenists ought to be realized : pru dence and their own interests forbid that; but we have no hesitation in predicting that the miseries of Greece will soon be brought to a conclusion. CITY, Mos:flair EVENING. 'The Money hfarket to-day has displayed some consider able activity, at an incresacti price. Consols this morning opened at 781, but shortly afterwards receded to 78, owing, it is supposed, to a large supply from certain parties who have been going for the rise. At the close of the day, however, Consols (*old seemly be quoted at more than 781, and even this may be considered a high price under existing circumstances ; the event alone can prove what is the real value of money, which at this moment is a perfect uncontmo.litable article in the market. Where are the mighty movers of the Eldorado? Where are the one thousand and one speculators in the moveable machines which have within the last three years appeared for the transport of treasure, not front its genial, but to its genial clime? They have disappeared, and nothing remains but the "fetch" of that once mighty body of illustrious, but now departed, body politic. In the Foreign Market this has been settling day, which has gone off without any default. In the early part of it there was a decided scarcity in Mexican and Colombian Stock ; however, towards the close of the day, the de ficiency was amply supplied. At the same time, it is rea sonable to suppose that holders must have realized very large losses, at the yellow prices at which the quotations of this Stock have been made. Colombian are at 31 to 3sj, and Mexican at 5111. 'The Continental Securities are totally steady. Spanish Bonds are at 81, Greek about 13, Russian 821, and Danish 58/. In the Share Market there is still a favourable report to be made. Brazilian and Tlalpuxahua both bear a quota tion at 13 premium. Mark-lane remains Much in the same state; the present prospect of the harvest induces few buyers beyond the ne cessity of the moment; the prices, therefore look upwards rather than downwards; for so long as the present favour able appearance of a good harvest continues, so long will the reluctance to buy and the reluctance to sell operate alike upon the feelings of the parties interested. As soon as the ascertained point of a goad or bad harvest is known, which from every appearance at present is likely to be in favour of the consumer, the point will be decided. These reasons may appear anomalnti; lint so long as the demand is what may be termed . from hand to mouth," so long will the anomaly continue. There may be something in the opinion that the holders of corn may have as to the power that the landholders possess over his Majesty's advisers. If the King's Ministers are beaten in the'r wishes to open the Corn Market, grain, in spite of every thing, must get up. We have not thought proper to insert the ba'derdlasli which Cotner r has thought tit to publish in the form of a Petition to his MAJESTY. Every body knows what COBDETT can say on most subjects. He is always predicting, and always telling us of the accomplishment of his predictions. It would be miraculous if some of his prophecies did not come to pato, for he has taken care to secure them on all sides, by predicting successively every possible course which things could take. In this respect Comm yr is a useful man ; for, generally speaking, he never fails to tell us all that is to he feared. We observed the combination of two Ministerial Pa pers yesterday, without any feeling in the slightest degree approaching to envy. We were extremely happy when we agreed in opinion, as we generally did, with the writers in these Journals ; but we have never bound ourselves to follow Ministers, or any other set of men, through all the measures which they may adopt. We are determined to support Church and State with all the energy that we possess ; but in doing so we shall ever be anxious, at ' the same time, to support the liberty of the subject. In our view, the interests of Church and State are inseparably bound up with the liberty of the subject. The writer of this article can safely say that he has never Ipromulgated one sentiment which was not his sincere and 1 serious opinion. While we admire and respect the abili ties of the gentlemen at the head of his Majesty's Govern ment, we claim for ourselves the right of stating our own sentiments, without any consideration whatever of these which may be adopted by his Majesty's Ministers. We will never support abuses on account of their antiquity — we will never support power on account of the advantage 1 to be derived from it. Admitting to the utmost the merits of his Majesty's Ministers (and we admire them in common with their friends and their foes), we pledge ourselves to support them only as long as they persevere in that course which they have hitherto pursued. We engaged to support Church and State—not in any particular way—not by sup porting the abuses either of Church or State—but by advo cating those measures which we conscientiously believe to , be for the interest both of Church and State, without re to obsolete prejudices or superannuated scruples. We diffa considerably from the views of some Journalists with regard to the Joint Stock Banking Companies, which it is proposed to establish in preference to the Branch 13anks of the Bank of England. It is not likely that his NIA., E STY'S Ministers will throw any obstacles in the way of Joint-Stock Banking Companies; but it really seems to us to be a very awkward scheme to remedy an evil arising ' from Joint-Stock Companies by new Joint-Stock Compa nies. Tl:e want of good sccaritics was in part the cause of the failures of the Country Banks ; but we will venture to maintain, and we think to prove, that the very best securi ties would* not be a sufficient obstacle to the over-issue of Rink paper by private establishments. The advance of money on land, in the first instance, enables the person who procures it to obtain either more property in land, in houses, or in some other species of real estate. The pos session of this second estate is just as good security for a ' farther advance as that of the first ; and as long as the rents of the (stem', successively purchased with the ad vances, continue to cover the interest, and leave some profit beside., it is obvious that any person who can procure a sum of money in the first instance, may, in theory, be enabled to obtain such ems to in fi nity, and I may give the most unexceptionable securities for them. Any person, therefore, may, even with the joint-stock sys tem, easily qualify himself to become a partuer in a bank ing concerti ; and the landholders, who might lend their support to such establishments, would not easily be in duced to confine their issues to the amount of their respec tive securities, as they would very naturally consider the siCCUritieS of those to whom notes might be advanced as joint ones, with theirs, at least for the smount advanced. 'I he building and trading mania would thus be renewed with so much the greater force, that the apparent stability of the system would appear incomparably increased. We think we perceive, in the exclusive fondness which some display for this scheme, a lurking desire of propping ob solete prejudices, by throwing a new power into the hands of persons whom they corceivel to be unfa vourable to theliberal principle of his MAJESTY'S Minis try. The clamour raised in Scotland against th. 2 mca- TURKEY. [From the Cunstittitionnet.l ComiwriworLe, JUNE 30. Jussuf, the Paella of Serres, followed by 400 or 500 Albanians, has arrived in this town, where the ferocious Aboulouhoud Paths, well known for his cruelty, rejoined him with 400 men. This is all the assistance which the Sultan has received, and it is probable he will not receive any more for a long time. Though we are only separated from the cify by the diameter of the port, Constantinople forms a world by itself, and we only learn what posses thereafter a long interval. We were ignorant, for instance, that the rebels had penetrated into the harem of the Prince of the Believers, and that his odolinves were ex posed to their violence. Never bad such an event token place, and to purge the fold of his Highness, care has been taker to sew up in sacks, and throw into the sea, such of these poor creatures as have been compromised in the affair. It is thus that justice is administered in this fine country of Turkey ; and a crowd of eunuchs, accused of connivance with the factious, have taken a voyage by sea to the other world with stones about their necks. The lest of the Prophet, which is called the sacred standard, is still shut up in its box, which is exposed to the eyes of the public, for this is the only way in which this superannuated relic is viewed. They continue to demolish the barraeks of the Janis saries, and they have done the same thing to their kettles (their revered standards) which the Russians did in the dine of Souwaroff: Accordingly, Mahmoud 11. is called the Giaour, or Infidel Sultan, and the Mussultnans are its greater consternation than if the Russians were encamped on the Hippodrome. They would like to see them there ; for what passes is so contrary to their manners, that it exceeds all credibility. Accordingly, when the Janissaries were taken from the Legations, these poor people burst into tears, and . if they had feared nothing but God, they would have caused themselves to be bap tized, in order to remaid in the service of the Ambassadors of the Christian Powers. They were forced, however, to go before the iVaiwode of Galata, to curse the memory and the name of Hadgi-Bektielg, the founder and institutor of the Janissaries. In order to compel them to adopt this species of apostasy, some heads have been struck ofr, and the desire of the Sultan has been complied with. This is the way in which they have been so perfectly convinced and so completely converted. Matters are not so easily eettlid with religious corporations. Accordingly, the Bektadgi Dervishes have been seen to quit their tekes, or convents, and run with all their might, to go and preach in Europe and Asia against the Giaour Sultan, who wishes to change the religion of the state, by adopting the customs of the Franks. " Our fathers," they say, " conquered the country with the sabre, they wish to make us use large tufeks (muskets) with spits at the end. They will soon force us to take the hat." The people, on their part, assert that the Congress of Ackermann has for its object to deliver up the empire to the Moscovites. All is in confusion, but terror prevails. The Sultan himself is not without solicitude. He has fallen out of the hands of the Janissaries into those of the Arnauts and the Topdgis, who are on his side, because he has permitted them to pillage, and because he gives them money, provisions, and the right to kill without inquiry every one accused of being a Janissary. The populace, who are furnished with bread and rice at a low price (for the Turkish Government has the monopoly of the subsistence of Constantinople), joins in chorus with the Sultanides ; so that the state has become an , och locracy, governed by bread, money, and Lends. Do not suppose that this is any exaggeration. For example, they speak of abolishing the principle of confiscation ; in the mean time they authorise devastation, and if some ulemas are seen among the reformers, it is because terror is the order of the day. It is proposed to replace the liamals by Armenians, a foolish, good, simple sort of people, ready to sell father and mother for money ; and yet they arc afraid to take a decisive step, because they are not secure against an inevitable reaction. I know that it will be reported all over the world that reformation advances with rapid strides. The same thing was said the day before Sultan Mustapha lost his throne and his life. Let us wait for in telligence from Bosnia, from the fortresses of the Danube, from Iconium ; and even if all should be tranquil, be as sured that this apparent submission covers thE ashes of a volcano, and that this silence is a certain sign of a mita -atiott which may be delayed, but is inevitable. It is confidently asserted by a Morning Paper that the Government intends to propose to Parliament to make silver a tender for the payment of sums not exceeding 2SI. It is not stated whether the plan refers to the pet sent silver coin, on which a considerable seignorage is taken, or to bullion tendered at the mint price. It has been finally settleit that his Grace the Duke of Manchester is to return from Jamaica, and succeed the late Earl of Chichester as Postmaster-General. This arrange ment has, we understand, been made at the special desire of the King, who has been graciously pleased to express his approbation of his Grace's adMinistration of the Govern ment of Jamaica, and his wish that it should be rewarded by a permanent appointment at home. His Majesty's con siderate attention to the claims of long and conspicuous ser vices have thus been again manifested in filling the present • vacant situation, and we are certain that all classes will fully admit the propriety and justice of the King's choice. The Duke of Manchester will be succeeded in the Govern ment of Jamaica by Earl Bathurst, whose long and able administration of Colonial Affairs, as one of his Majesty', principal S.cretaries of State, pre-eminenely qualifits him for that important and difficult office. His Lordship's per fect acquaintance with the whole policy of his ;Majesty's Government with respect to the Slave question, his distin guished talents, and his manly and elegant deportment, c ombine to render him the-fittest man in the empire to be entrusted with the Government of Jamaica in the present state of our West India Colonies. Lord Bathurst's seat in his Majesty's Councils will be filled by the Earl of Aber deen. of whom it is only necessary to say that his splendid acquirements have long pointed him out as a Nobleman on whom the country might properly call to take part in the direction of its affairs.—San.

AMERICA. We have been favoured with the following copy of a letter from t young man who has recently emigrated nom this neighbourhor.l, dated Patterson, Pennsylvania, June 6, 1826, to 1 114 parents, et Stayley Bridge, Lancashire. As we are aasuted that the authen, ticity of the letter may be fully relied on, we think it important that its statements should go forth to the public : theat topufr power-loom hours for work „ ye" " Dear Father and Mother,—l take this opportunity t o i n f orm you of our safe arrival, after a passage of thirty.rour days, i n e „., 4 health and spirits. Our passage, upon the whole, was particularly pleatnint. Since oar arrival we have been at Patterson, where w e find things ammt as bad as in England. We cannot possibly r O . cure work, either in dressing or overlncking of power-loo ms.

I see no inducement at pment tor any tranamigraticn from England to here. People talk in England about provisions being cheap here ; Ido not believe them ; my board costs me as much here as it did at Stayley Bridge, and besides, Ido not lire half so well. Yet lam in mood spirits as ever I was in my lire, and should wish you to make yourselves quite easy about myself and S —e, kr, at the worst, we can re. turn ; and it Is my decided opinion that d • • will return, almost immediately, if hi meet with no better success at Philadelphi a than at Patterson. _ . . .

The lightn'ng is most dreadfully terrific, beyond delineation, it. caroling trees, destroying indiscriminately man and beast.

Some people may say we are soft, hut let them try for themselves. I have seen and know ; and as for travelling, we can every day see numbers of miserable people returning to Patterson, who have been on the Ohio and dif finent parts backward, who have from one to five hundred acres at good land, that they can do nothing with, and would be glad to sell even at any price, so as to get anything for it ; an nomore at pre it from yJurs.

Yesterday a Meeting of the Shareholders in the Joint Stock Company, instituted for the purpose of investing capital in West Ind a landed proper y, and for commercial purposes, was held at the City of London Tavern, to take into consideration the present etati of its concerns, and what measures it might be expecti;at to adopt th , reon. Mr. MANN two was called to the Chair. In opening the bosi. nets of the day. he stated to the Meeting, that the object of the persons w:to instituted this Company was, to promote the trade of th s c u try with the West Indies (the importance of which to our manufarwes could not be doubted), and every one connected With i in its origin intended to make a &ma fide investment of capi , al. Th! Report, whit It was about to be read, would show that the views of the Directors were now altered ; but he declated that it was not is consequence of any change in their belief as to the p opriety of the undertaking, or as to its ultimate slums', but solely in relation to the attend state of the name/ market. He trusted it would be found that they had managed with economy tb• I funds en:rasttd to them, and that they bad in tvery respect dote their duty. The Re v ert was then read. It stated that the sum of 71,1321. 51. 101. li..d been subscribed of the call of 51. upon each share. A Rryal Charter and an Act of P..•liament for the consolidation of the Company had been obtained, and bj them it was placed on the same footing in the Courts at the West India that chartcfnl Companies were in the Courts of Law In this country. The expehif of 4,510/. and 1,1001. had been lost by the sale of Exchequer bills. The altered state of the money-market, and the changes which had taken place since the formation of the Company, rendered it ex pedient that those who chose should be allowed to withdraw from the Company. Those who chose to do so might receive back 41. 15s. being a loos of but ss. per share. The Directors recom mended that this option should be given to the Proprietors, and that those who remained should be allowed to receive 3i. 15s, per shi.re, leasing a deposit of 1/. per share in the bands of the Di recto's. 51 - . flt EBERT, one of the Directors, in moving that the Report and a series of Resolu:ione founded upon it, should be adopted, said, that as there was undiubtedly room for the ad% aatageous M ete meat of capital by mortgage, or otherwise, in the manner first proposed by the Directors, it was thought a pity. after a Charter and an Act of Parliament had been obtained, to abandon the thing altngether. It was proposed, theretirre, to allow those who thought welt of it, to retain their interest in it, and to give them an oppor tunity of cairying it on as soon as any favourable changes of affairs should arrive. The Directors did not intend to make any new call, neither did they ewntemplate making any investment with the pro. duce of so small a deposit as D. per abate. It was the wish of the D.rectors to see what sum could be made available as the capital of the Compa•iy, and they would, at proper time, submit the quest on of their praceeding to a General Meeting. The 31. 15s. per s!iare, which it was now proposed to give every Shareholder an o po tunity of withdrawing, must then, of course, if it wets carri.d in the affirmative for proceeding. be recalled. la ansv er to a me questions put by Shareholders, it appeared that the original number of shares was 20,tOtt. Mr. HIBIIEII7 stated, that a large portion of these bad been re served for distribution in our Si est India Colonies in order to create an interest there in the Company. The total number on whier a deposit of five pounds per share had been raid was 13..44. Mr. T. WILSON, lite M.P. for the City, a. corded the motion for agreeing to the Report, and said that at the time tae Company was forward money was a drug in the marts:, and nut the least doubt could be entertained that aelvantage.oua investments could be made on West India property. He praised the singular economy of the Directors. The Report was adopted. and, after some discussion, thc Reso lutions founded upon it were veiled unanimously. • A Resolution was adopted; enabling Ole •Directors to masse delimits of 1/. per share on tl.ose shares which have not Man takm up. Thanks to the Chairman and Directors were then voted. when the Chairman ex; reseed his gratification that this Company co, 11 not be justly cla'sed with those wild schemes which bad recently been so loudly and so justly condemned. t of the coin bonded in Lon- Saturday last inclusive Qua ter'. 2,01 The following is the accoun don, from the 2d 05 May, up t Quarters.

Sportsmen are. well aware that grouse arc a very delicate species of bird, and cannot exist without r.- freshing moisture. Most of the shaliow streams and mu lets being quite dry, the birds, old and young, have had to resort to the marshy grounds for water ; and, P tiding it only in the " peat-bogs" or pits, have in great numbers fallen in and perished, unable to extricate themselves. la some districts the sport may be very fair, but the above description is applicable generally.—/'erth Courier.

In passing a rock, about IOU feet above the level of the glen, Mr. Jamieson fell, the grass being very slippery on account of the drought, and was found by a shepherd at four o'clock the next morning. His body was so much injured that medical aid could he of no avail, although he was so collected as to direct the lad how to draw blood of him, and gave other necessary instructions; he died at nine o'clock. The fate of Mr. Jamieson is most deeply deplored by the inhabitants of Alloa and its neighbourhood, where his professional labours and friendly dispesitious were much valued. i .1 i 4 i ,,. ~., The liP, f The the The I ! , - fc 7ine Llbeer The ,Tere The w-the The .C,Ol.
