The peaceable character of the inhabitants, and the discipline which I have maintained among the troops, have hitherto kept them within bounds of duty and moderation, and they have contented themselves for the two last evenings with manifest- Mg, in the theatre, the whole extent of their enthusiasm, but with the greatest order, and respecting the authorities. Yet I must frankly tell your Highness, that if this state of uncertainty and distrust is suffered to continue, and if the first post does not bring positive orders for the oath to the Constitutional Charter, it is im possible to be longer answerable for the public tranquillity, or to calculate the fatal consequences of such a state of things. The inhabitants, officers, subalterns, and privates—all have but one opinion, one efrection, full of love and fidelity, to the sacred person of their legitimate Sovereign, Don Pedro IV. All loudly demand the full accomplishment of his desires. All understand that the Government of these kingdoms, after having been con firmed by the decree of the 26th of ,Ipril last, derives its authority and its power from this decree alone; and that it cannot legally im pede, prevent, or retard, the execution of the decree of our Sovereign. Let obedience to the decrees of our Sovereign be in unison with the knowledge, the right, and the wants of the age, and from this con cord there will result a force which it is highly dangerous to attempt to paralyse. " The fate of Portugal depends entirely upon your Highness. It is to you alone that the Constitutional Charter confides the Re gency and the Government of these kingdoms ; and all delay of the oath and of the execution of the Charter seems to the people to be an effect of the efforts of persons who are interested in keep ing themselves in power, and in deferring the establishmen► of the paternal Regency of your Highness. The proclamation of the 12th of this month has not dispelled the general distrust, which, on the contrary, has been much increased by the accounts received from Lisbon concerning the discord which some perverse persons have endeavoured to excite amongst the troops of the garrison. The first and greatest want of the Portuguvie at this moment is, that the Constitutional Charter be speedily sworn to, and carried into effect ; and that the Regency of the kingdom be exercised by your Highness, to whom it belongs by virtue of the Charter. Such are the desires legally but energetically manifested by all the inha bitants of this city, which I have thought it my duty to lay before your Highness, to satisfy my conscience, and what I owe to our King, Dan Pedro, to his august daughter, Queen Donna Maria 11.. to,your Highness, to my country, and to myself.

Exchange on London, One Mundt, Bills, 2df. 65e.—Coors Authentigne, The result of the trial in the case of SMITH, at Glouces ter, has excited a good deal of attention, and we may add, of indignation; in the feelings of the public. iire do not ohserve in the evidence adduced on the trial a single truce of private animosity or malicious intention against the brothers SMITH on the part of the Birmingham Journalists:; they seem even to have been personally unacquainted with hiM. We all know that malicious intent must be proved, tither against the particular individuals', or against man kind in general, before criminality can be brought home to any person ; and the principle has been laid down so re peatedly on this very point of libel, that it seems surpris ing how any Court cr Jury should leave it out of sight, as they appear to have done on the present eccasiien. The Birmingham Journalists have been mulcted for feeling in dignant at what they considered the oppression of a help less being. If we put the case as strongly for the plaintiffs in this cause as it is possible to put it—if, instead of merely propagating a report which was in part false, to the prejudice of these individuals, the defendants had groundlessly fancied that they saw the SMITHS ill-treat ing their wretched brother—if, in their anxiety to pre vent this conduct, they had unwarily struck the plain tiffs, so as cause their deaths, would any Jury have ven tured to bring in a verdict of " guilty ?" We shall begin almost to think that light punishments are inconsistent with the juridical institutions of this country, if the parties who decide in our Courts are so careless in inflicting them. In a ease of death, a Jury thinks it necessary to weigh its opinion well before sacrificing a fellow-creature: they do not exercise the same caution, It would seem, when the stake of the criminal is smaller. They do scruple to let wretches hang that jurymen may dine; but they are less careful, it would appear, when the question is only about inflicting a stigma on a respectable individual. We do not hesitate in saying that the decision has been wrong, upon every principle of law with which we are acquainted- If it is necessary that every part of an account reflecting upon an individual should be correct to the letter (for their account was correct in Spirit), If the LORD CHANCELLOR may be be lieved, the most abandoned wretch in existence will never be brought before the public in future. Errors must occur in newspapers, collected as they are from a thousand quarters, and sent to press on the spur of the moment. If ever any one Judge in England went through a trial, hearing the depositions as slowly and deliberately as Judges do,without making some misapprehension in the course of the trial, we may allow him, and him alone, to assert, that a newspaper ought to contain nothing but what is strictly accurate. It is required, in Short, of newspaper Editors, in future, to try all causes, and to come to a right decision too, before a. Judge has even heard of them. If Judge BIIRROVOH takes three days to hear a cause, with the whole host of witnesses, advocates, &c. assisting him, with all appliances and means to boot, does be do right in expecting an Editor to settle the same cause in ten minutes ?—for seldom can ar, Editor give more than that to a paragraph. The only course then would be to leave such accounts out altogether. Whit would be the consequence of that ? Not to speak of the disap pointment of the readers of the Journal, might not a fel low-creature, without some exposure of this kind, have been left in a state which the highest law authority in the kingdom has pronounced to be—by no means for his advan tage? The following were the words of the Loan CH /011 CELI.OR in this cause, as reported in the British Press of March 8 t—" I put aside all that has been laid before me in the affidavits ; but looking at the representations which have been made by those who resist the commis !ion, and having stated that the representations of their conduct in the newspapers have been grievously inflamed, I am clearly of opinion that it is the duty of the Crown, as represented by the humble individual who is now speak ing, to clothe by a commission of lunacy an unfortunate person, who has no protector unless 'such a commission of lunacy be issued ; and when I reflect on the con duct of the individuals who have necessarily hitherto been his protectors, and giving them the benefit of the ex hortations of his dying father, I am of opinion that he cannot haee the protection to which be is entitled by law under the care of his brother, and as an a; plication has been made for a commis ion, I am bound to grant it; and. I cannot help saying that it has been opposed under dr- e - t h . L „ . kJ_ .7 TURKEY. [From the Al:genuine ?Aove of Aug. 41 CONSTANTIXOPLE, JULY lU. The Sultan Is proceeding with rapid strides to the attainment of the object which he has proposed to himself • and, favoured by si r- I cunastances, he will succeed in it. in a terrible and sanguinary man- net, it is true, but which will make an era in the annals of the ern- Mre, and more quickly than any person could venture to expect. The executions. hanisinnents, and punishments of all kinds, of those who adhere to the old system, and the demolition , tf the dwellings of I the Janissaries, cons inue day and night, and the system of terror seems to have made such an impression in the other great cities of the em re, that the Janissaries at Adrianople , Saloniclia, and Smyrna, Rave quietly submitted to their dissolution, and have already sig nified their obedience by deputies, whom they have suit fur the pur pose to the Sultan, who, the day betore yesterday, personally an nounced this to the new troops, which &ready amounted to forty thousand men. All circumstances combine to rata', in the shortest time possible, a large disciplined army , and by this manakins the people here fl atterl themselves) to inspire respect in the negotiations , at Ackermnnn , and, at the same time, awe the enemies in the inte rior of the empire. Six Paellas have been ordcred (probably with this view) to repair from the Asiatic provinces to the capital ' with numerous corps, and they are expected to arrive shortly. Some think, that when the corps of the Yamaks is dissolved, as it doubt. less will be, the castles on the limultorus will be garrisoned with theme troops. Some thousand Topchis arc alr...aciy employed in building hve large barracks for the new troops, anti Constantinople is now like a great camp, which has been formed during a bloody revolution. Profound tranquillity prevails in the quarters irha- Wed by the Franks. The number of those who look with appre• hension towards the north, and fear an interruption of peace, is very small. UNITED GAS COMPANY. Yesterday a Ilalf-yearly Meeting of the Shareholders in this Company took place at the London Tavern. Mr. LUCAS in the Chair. The Report stated, that the Company had Improved as much at possible, under the existing embarrassed state of things. The Di rectors had made arrangentents to prevent the continuathm of law proceedings, which had been commenced with respect to some land which the Company had purchased at Copenhagen, which land it had been thought expedient to give up. A parse amount of arrears had been paid, and it was recommended that the holders of Shares upon which no more than 12/. had been paid should surrender them, and to receive, instead of them, Shares of 15/. each, to the amount of the advances they had made, provided they agreed to pay the last call of 3/. before the Ist of October. The Report concluded with the recommendation that a Dividend of 61. per cent. for the half year ending the 13th of June, should be paid on the 16th of Octo ber, on all the Capital paid to the Gimpany on the Ist of January. The Report was received, and resolutions we re passed in confor mity with it. A SHAREHOLDER asked the amount of the losses sustained by the Company. It was reviled, that the sum of 2.953/. had been lost by the put. ' chase of the land attiopeuliagen; and that 1101. had been lost in other ways. A thseuasion took place upon the auhjeet of increasing the fee to the Auditors, one of the Shareholders having declared that it was a scandalous thing in a Company which had already expended 30,000/. to pay their officers so iniserebly. There was no seconder to the motion, which, of course, fell to the ground. The Meeting then adjourned. STATE OF TEE CITY OF DUBLIN. (From the Freeman's Journal of Wednesd.ty.) The city was yesterday kept in a state of considerable ' agitation, from the great assemblage of unemployed people in different places, and, in some instances, from the dispo sition manifested to riot and pillage. At an early hour in the morning, several bakers carrying out bread in the Liberty, were attacked, and the breed taken from them ; the provision shops being kept closed, escaped pillage. The appearance of a strong party of police had the desired effect of dispersing the mob, but, throughout the day, the bakers in that neighbourhood could not venture to send out their bread without an escort of polic:. About twelve o'clock the depot of the Rifle brigade, which was marching into town from Naas, was followed by A tnob of tact' or three hundred persons, chiefly boys, until they reached the barracks in George's-street; they went into Exchequer-street, where a quantity of bread and some money were thrown to them from some of the baker's shops. They then went through Grafton-street and into liing-street, where a party of police from College-street came up with and dispersed them. While these scenes were passinir, a number of persons were collected about the Royal Exchange. About one o'clock, the Hon. Colonel Gorr came out from the Relief Committee, and read to them the resolutions that had been passed; upon which a general murmur of disapprobation ran through the crowd, and a man called out, " I'll not agree to it, by J— ! I'll have bread or blood." He WA. immediately taken into custody, and brought. to the Head office; his name is Edward Walsh, a labourer; he has been remanded for further examination. Between six and seven o'clock there was some rioting in Lower Stephen -street, the origin of which is not at present • known ; two of the horse patrol, and some of the inhabit , ants interfered, when the police were assailed with stones, and one of them received a severe blow. They succeeded in taking three men into custody, one of whom was after : wards rescued from them ; the other two were lodged in College-street office: one of them is a butcher's boy. SWEARING IN OF SPECIAL CONSTABLES. From the disposition manifested yesterday and Mon day, on the part of the people, the Magistrates thought it advisable to swear in a number of special constables, in those parts of the city and liberty which were most likely to be visited by the populace. Mr. Boileau and Mr. • Boyce, the respectable Churchwardens of Bride's parish, immediately offered their services, and their ex ample was followed by a number of other respectable householders in that and the adjoining parishes of ‘Ver burgh's, St. Nicholas Within, St. Nicholas Without, Mary's, St. James's, and Catherine's. Upwards of one hundred special constables were sworn in, which occu pied the magistratessuntil a late hour in the evening. About twenty men have been committed, in the last two days, from the different police-offices, for being con cerned in these riots; and we are sorry to find that among them are some of the unfortunate weavers. It is but jus tice, however, to those suffering individuals to state, that the great body of them have had no connexion with these proceedings, but, on the contrary, some of them yesterday offered their assistance to the police. Mr. R. Abernethy failed on Thursday, for the first time in all his pedestrian matches. He had engaged to perform 03 miles a-day for 12 days, and he continued the match till within the last two days. Mr. R. Villeheattr, of Ashford Mount, Windsor Forest, undertook yesterday to drive his tandem 2% miles in two hours, for 100 slvereigns. His road was from the 27th to the 21st and back. The•whe..l horse broke once into a gallop in the 4th mile, and the wheels backed. hut the distance was done within a minute of half the time. The horses travelled steadily bask, and won the match by two minutes. Nannow ESC APE.—We have been favoured with the following extract from a plicate letter, received by a gentleman in Glasgow from his friend in Argyllshire Argyllshire, July 25. " Areini.

We subjoin some further extracts :- IFrorn the EMl's, dated Thursilly, Atm. 10.1 LISBON, -JULY 21. The Intendant of Police issued, on the 14th of th:s mooch, a very sesere orlinance against those who apidsud at the theatre; he it:matins them with a considerable tine, imprisanment, and exclu sine from the theatre. The nicmlxrs of the committee created by decree of the 1.3 M, for the purpose of taking measures prepara tory to the elcetion of Deputies, has addressed a letter on the nib jentten the Government. _ . - The Regency has received the f Mowing news from Oporto a— °• Your Serene IliAhness I—The importance of the despatches which hare sucessively arrived in this city concerning the new Pitlit;eal irstliteiona which our legit iturteSivereign Don Pedro 11'. ims thought fit to give to the kin:. of Portugal and Algarve 4 tie rapid and surprising developuteat of opinion is all classes of ichtiviJttals composing the popula . ion ; the influence which an npi. nitm, so general and so strongly pronounced, may, in a few days, perhaps in a few moments, have on the tranquillity of the whole ht,:srlem, obliges roe to call the attentim of your Royal Highness wt at Is passing he-e. The first news produced in this city tire most enteral joy I all proclaimed the new Chemr the only post of rsfrty for the State. But in the midst of the general transport, it wit( coy to distinguish also the most firm and energetic resolution to evict the full esecution of the benefits of the Sovereign, and this rfrolution gained strength in proportion as the silence of the official tersette on the subject of such important esonts gave birth to ter. Able distrust, founded on an idea that it was it tended to oppose the Amidst s people so full THE Burnsn MESS. cumstances on which I think I must grant the costs of the petition." Thus the Loan CHANCELLOR am enough in the conduct of the plaintiffs to induce him to set aside their father's will, and to take the Wad:. out of their keeping. If this judgment was right, it was proper for the Editor of the Birmingham Journal to do all in his power to procure the passing of it. It is clear that the Journalist had no other design but either to accomplish some object of this kind (for be had no private malice), or to testify his detestation of inhumanity in general, which, in the eyes of the law, and of all men, is considered praiseworthy. if he had only stated those facts which induced the LORD Cuawcattoa to award the costs of the petition against the brothers SMITH, who resisted, it is clear, that even in the view of persons most hostile to the Press, there could not have been the least shadow of accusation against them. The general fact of wrong treatment is admitted, and even supposing the defendants to have invented the parts in which the statement had been "inflamed,' it still re mained to be proved that they were so "inflamed" with malicious intent. The general fact of ill-treatment was suffi cient; for if no man is to be allowed to state any thing of which he is not quite sure, no crime can ever be brought to punishment. It is wrong to suppose that the Press is the only vehicle for publication. A man who talks to another on any subject, publishes that subject in the eye of ' the law just as effectaially as he who prints it in a news paper. The argument on this subject goes to prove that no one ought ever, in any way, to blame the conduct of another. The innumerable individuals who talked on this subject at the time, are all of them equally liable to p ros-a cution with the Editors of the Journal; nay, thongh Lawyers have got a prescriptive right to say what they please, the principle cannot be easily turned aside from its application to them. - - CITY, FRIDAY EVENING Reports have been very plentiful again to-day ; among the most prominent of which were, Mr. C A NNING'S immediate departure for Pads; news from India, by a ship arrived at Bordeaux, of a disastrous nature, detailing the total annihilation of the British Army by the Burmese ; and lastly, that Sir SIDNEY SMITH had had an interview with his French MAJzsw, on the subject of a command, to be intrusted to the former, for the purpose of watching the operations of Lord Coc it RA NE in Greece. It is tolerably certain that no credit whatever attaches to these inventions ; but Consuls continued tb decline in the course of the morning. This was, however, rather to be attributed to very large sales by a public accountant, than to any re liance upon the information in question. The lowest price they reached was 781 ; immediately after the period of that quotation, a celebrated bracr came into the market and purchased a large amount at 743—the same Gentleman who made such considerable sales a day or two back, at 791. At the close of the market, Consols had regained 78;,, at which price there were buyers. The Foreign Market has not displayed much business. Mexican declined during the day to 491, and finally closed at 501. Colombian, upon the whole, went down A per cent., closing at 33. Russian Stock has regained the quotation of 81. Spanish Bonds are at 101, and Greek re- main at 13. In Shares the little that has been done is at lower prices, Brazil having declined to 15, and Tlalpuxahua to 35. The Colonial Market has been rather heavy and at prices a shade lower, while Mark-lane shows an advance of one shilling per quarter on best Wheat. Barley also is a trifle higher. The prices of other grain remain stationary. The only alteration in the Exchanges are those of Lisbon and Oporto, which arc a shade higher. Theto!lowing is a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, at Genoa, dated Aug. 1: " With our shipping list or the 14th June last, we communicated the arrival of a Sardinian vessel, at the Lazaretto of Varigoano, in the Gulf of stpezzia, wli,eh had the plagueon board. We now learn from the public papers that this vessel, named Nostra Signora de Loretto, with a cargo of olive oil, which she took in at Candia, and nailed from thence on the 30th April, with a crew of thirteen hands - -that eight of them were taken ill of the plague, seven of whom died of this dreadful distirder, besides one of the guards who attended as nurse on the sick. But by means of the stn:t precau tionary measures which h•we been adopted on this occasion, such as scuttling the vessel and keeping her under water for a consider able time, burning every thing belonging to the crew and other susceptible articles, &c. &c , it will be radically extirpated." The Lord Chancellor has nearly recovered from the at tack of the gout in his hand, which his Lordship was af flicted with in the beginning of the present week. The Countess of Eldon was much better yesterday. Sir M. Tierney attends her Ladyship daily. Despatches were sent off yesterday from the Office of the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, to Lord Granville, our Minister at Paris. Despatches were also sent, by the way of Gottenburgh, to the British Ambassador at St. Petersburgh. We hear that the Governor and' Company of the Bank of England have now finally resolved to establish a Branch Bank in Leeds. Upon the expediency of this measure there exists a variety of opinions—by some it is held to be su perfluous and even injurious, as no advances will be made to the customers of the bank, and as it will introduce a system of banking unknown to this part of the country ; by others it is said, that the competition in banking concerns tints introduced, like ether commercial competition, will be ad vantageous, that discounts will be facilitated, and that money will become more plentiful. rdy both parties in this controversy the measure is spoken of with doubt. At Gloucester, little or no business has yet been done with the new branch hank. The implacable Quotidienne is frightened at the arrival of Joseph Bonaparte at Brussels. It does not dare to I express all it feels on this subject, but it thinks it may ask 1" if it be very proper . for one, against whom European rilifi)isAMPßWiltiejjatutlt this time to the gates of catitraostesisakts is Chateau a palaie, 'of his bowe -1 hold a court, and of his friends and the discontented, sub jects." "Ifelititik we can reply to the anticipated accusa tion of the Quotidirnne, that the French Government has nothing to fear from all that it may suppose to exist in con nexion with the Ex-King of Spain. The Bonapartists ate dead in France. The Charter has killed them. Sup , posing, even, that be, who chained all Europe, could at once burst from his tomb, cross the sea, and come again ;to menace our frontiers, he would be reelved with the moat profound indifference, or, at least, he would only ex cite that curiosity which follows whatever was once power ' ful and exalted. Peace has taught nations that happiness is not always the fruit of glory. Napoleon has found as miters in the new generation ; without disparaging his genius, it abhors his despotism. Bonaparte might be afraid of seeing the Princes of the House of Bourbon ap proach France; but the latter, on the contrary, can see themselves surrounded with the family of their former 1 enemy, without having anything to fear, because the Bourbons form a dynasty, while Bonapurte could esta blish but an individuality. St. Helena has devoured its prey, and the name of him who alarmed Kings belongs I henceforth but to poetry and to ltiaory.—Pilote. Letters from Rome, of July 21, state that the Signor Baruni one of the most distinguished disciples of the Immortal Canova, with a view to honour the memory of his master, has just finished, at his own expense, a co lossal marble bust of the great artist ; and this monument of pious gratitude has been placed in the Hall of the Ca pitol, betwixt the figures of Michael Angelo and Raphael. The parties whose absurd and profligate elopement has made so much noise amen;; the gossipping tabbies,. are said to have taken up their temporary abode at Popham-lane, an obscure place intl./col Winchester and Basingstoke.

It is true, prices do not mech improve, for the mark e t h ad become overstocked ' • neither have wages been rew4, i tt the prices at which goods arc sold will not admit of tlie measure; and if this were not the ease, onformna‘ely [ there arc so many weavers out of employment, that those whose toil only products them half bread, tiMik themsda e , happy in comparison with those who can earn no bread at all. In a few weeks we really do caned that there will b e both employment and bread for all who choose to work fcr it.—Man•hrsfer Herald.. '- . LeEnt4.—We have the pleasure to assure th e p u bli c that trade continues gradually toimprove in this pa t ; of the kingdom. On Tuesday last, a nore than us ua l portion of business was done in our White Chet t particularly in the article shawls. In the Mixed Ci nt i Hall, an equal degree of additional business was not Irer. ceptible, but on the whole, the progress mwartls b etter times received no chick ; and a general disposition to ex. tend rather than restrain confidence, l) gins to prevail. As we before stated, however, the principal improvement has taken place in Coarse Woollens—the manufacturers of which are mostly of that drscription of persons incapable of amassing large stocks. But as a general prt.of of in. creasing business, we may mention the fart, that one o f the fist houses in Ueda has received such extensive or. dem lately, as, besides giving fill employment to all their own hands, hare enabled them to order six hundred pieces of cloth from another manufacturer in a neighbour. ing village, Framley. At Batley, the, two public mill i (manufactories owned by Joint-stock Companies, and which work for whoever requires it) run now between five and six days per week, and at Birstal, Comma!, Morley, and other places in that neigh tourhood, a like change is apparent. At Ileckmondwike and J)e. but y, where the carpet and blanket ti nide is chiefly carried on, and where, since last winter, distress has existed to a truly painful extent, some alight alteration to. wards a revival of business has taken place. We are, never theless, obliged to state, that in nearly the whole of the die rict which these remarks emblem., a great number of the people arc yet either totally or part a".v umunployed, and the assistanci of the benevolent intlispensabte. The number of unemployed poor in Leet•a an I its immedife vicinity is also great, and we regret o a 11, that for the present the local committee has been o from paucity of funds, to suspend its weekly allowance to them. In Bradford and Huddersfield the persons destitute of work, and dependent on casual charity, are at ry numtto ts. But we arc glad to say that the matters in the stuff and fancy lines appear in higher spirits than heretofore, although this this is rather the effect of present prospects, than immediate experience of improvement.—Leeds Banns 0 RD,—W henever we feel that we can be justified in stating any improvement in the trade of this town, so shall not be backward in communicating so agrceaLle a piece of intelligence ; but we cannot say that the nsult of our inquiries this week warrants any statement cf positive visinle improvement. Paragraphs have follow;t1 one another from time to time, in neighbouring Journals, in which the trade in this town has been said to he better ; but if there had been any foundation in truth for these statements, the condition of Bradford must have been very flourishing by this time. The fact is, aew mote goods taken off or a few more hands put on, proses ;lathing worth recording; the most that can he said is, that there seems to be something of a more hopeful fceline, among the trade, than existed two mouths ago.—Bros4ratti Courier. IIUDDIERSPIELD. — We think we may be justified in say ing, that in this town there is rather more doing, and a somewhat greater d is position to dr business ; and that last Tuesday people seemed generally in rather better spi rits than we have lately been accustomed to notice. In several of the townships round Huddersfield employment has been found for those receiving relief,—and in others, funds locally raised are alone wanted to extend the open !ion of the same beneficial plan, the c •ntral committee be• ing extremely desirous to give every assietance in further ance of this object.—lbid. • A meeting was held on Tuesday evening last, of those gentlemen who are proprietors of the ground adjoining the Bradford Beck, with a view of carrying into effect the sug gestion of having it cleaned and thus providing work fat the poor. A subscription amounting to about 80/. was raised for that object, and a deputation was appointed to wait upon the committee for the relief of the poor, with the view of obtaining an equal sum from their fund, to be lip. plied in the same way. The labourers are to receive one shill'ng p-r day. The deputation accordingly waited on the Committee for the Relief of the Poor, and received for answer, that in accordance with the sentiments of the gentleman deputes! to wait upon them from the London Committee, they could not render any pecuniary assistance for the employment of the poor, but would continue their distribution of meal, taking into consist ration the wages given ro the poor, employed by the persons interested in cleaning out the beck.—]bed. COVENTRY.—The following statement respecting the trade of Coventry is given in a .horning Paper:—" No per sons could be more violent in their opposition to the mea sure of admitting Frenzh silks into England than the ma nufacturers of Coventry. They believed that it would he the total ruin of the Coventry trade, and diet even the agitation of the question had at least doubled the amount of their poor rates. French silks, however, have been ad mitted into England for several weeks past, anti so far from the trade of Coventry being ds stroyed, or even injured, it is at this moment remarkably good. Every man, woman, and child, capable of working at the business are now em ployed. A respectable manufacturer from Coventry in farm ad the writer this morning that he believed trade was better there than in any other town in England. The de mend for ribands is not occasioned by the late election, as the description of goods now manufacturing is quite dire ferent from those worn on such occasions; so that the trade is not a temporary one occasioned by an accidental circum stance. It is curious that the Coventry business has been improving ever since the time at ieltich (according to the manufacturers) it was to have been ruined —namely, since foreign silks were first admitted into England." Tux Court•TIIADE.—WC hope that in a short times greater proportion of the corn trade will he transacted in Leeds than has hitherto been done. Preparations are nr.king by the Airc and Caldar Company to afford greater facility its Warehousing corn than haslet been experienced. and we hope their success will be equal to their enterprise. They are about to builds large warehouse on Warehouse hill, in this town, which will contain nearly two acres and a half of flooring.—Leedv Intelligenetr. Gt,lase.ow.—There was little done in our cotton market since our last. Prices are again looking down, especially in Sea Istands. For manufactured goods there is a sone what brisker demand in both whelesale and retail estah lhhments. On Monday and Tuesday there were upwards of 900 casks of sugar seal at improving prices, fee good and fine qualities, and the demand still continues fur those qualities. Coffee looks upwards, rind the general orinioa scents favourable for that article.—Giasgow Pr, 44. On Saturday night last, Sarah, the wifeofJoseph Harri son, of Bowling. near Bradford, fell on the fire in their ono house, and was so dreadfully burnt, that she died alma' immediately. The woman's husband, for some unaccount able purpose, threw , about filbs. of salt upon her. The report is, that both of them were intoxieuted . T he verdict of the oroner's Inquest; which sat on the body as Mon t day, wee Accidental Death. On Thursday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, the sentinel placed near tho Earl of Harrington's boner, in St. Jantes's-park, observed it gentleman who was w alking in the Mall, suddenly stagger, and called to some persons who were sitting on one of rite benches to go his assistance , as he could not leave his poet. By this time,ground . the genintlo°eman had fallen, apparently lifelLes ; on the 1' mate he was carried to the park-keeper's lodge, and tnetlin . al assistance sent for. Mr. Healy , surgeon , St. Jannis street, immediately attended, and opened a vein on the left side of his neck. The attack was apoplectic, and had not medical aisistanee Wn at hand would, mast probabl. he proved fatal ; as s it was, the gentleman was conveill in a carriage to the Royal Hotel, St. James street, wllere he was instantly put to bed, in a hopeless condition.
