Novsateca le, MIL At a late hour last night we received the Paria Journals of Wednesday, including the Eloile of the following day's slate. These Papers are quite barren of political intel ligence. General Cnoz, it appears, has been despatched on a special mission tram his Coznoi.ic MAJtsTY to the French Court. Among the acoseltss reports to which this mission has given currency ii the statement, that General Cat z is going to embark for the Havannah, in order to recoryler Mexico with the Ferrol expedition l M. ZLA, if is es.vtrted, has not lost the Mao's favour, though ha is eli•:rnissctl from office. There can be no doubt, we think, that some powerful influence was exercised over the Kiwo on this occasion; but how far the expression of his sentiments towards the fallen Minister may be regarded as the index of his feelings, those who best know the charac ter of FERDINAZN D VII would, perhaps, be the least sb:c to conjecture. The correspondence from Greece in the Joarnal des De- Gals is satisfactory, it:ssmurh as it confirms the previous new.; of the serious and decisive check sustained by the Turks before Missolonglii. We are glad,also, to find that the Greeks are beginning to learn a rsgulacaystens of military discipline. If they would submit to this course of tactics, anc.iher campaign would certainly close their glorious cruge!e with success. The dangerous power of the C'api. tpi could not exist with disciplined troops; and they would then be in every respect superior to the trained slaves cf the Egyptian S.itrsp. Ey the quotations of the Paris Stock Exchange, it win observed that the Three per cents. have declined 14 per cert.. On Tuesday they closed at 70f. 90c.; on lirednes dly at 69'. 40c.

Redechii Pada, not discouraged by the unsuceersful assaults he had egged! matte. sod urged by the orders of the Grand Seignior, who Tovirgti firs o 'him tither ilisolonghi or his head, attire:tit hat place with terrible fury during the last week. There was a breach in the body of the fortress, to which he directed his soldiers, 'who carried two bastions, in which they established themselves. The Greeks, win fought britvely, laying down their muskets, went against the infidels with their sabres in their hands, nod attacked them with such impetuosity,_that in half an hour the enemy was driven from the post, and fled in every direction. After this defeat the Pacha built an earthen fortification, on which he placed five pieces of cannon, of a large calibre, with which he battered the interior of the town. The Christians, who could not silence this tire, conceived the design or burying the Turks in their batteries. A mine was made, and the works were conducted with so much skill and secrecy, that not one of the bar barians escaped from the explosion. This event. it was, that de cided the retreat or Itedschid Pacha, who is now cantoned at Hypochori. on the Evenus. Ibrahim Pacha, the Egyptian, after having left a garrison at Tripoli:la, marched upon Miami, where he burned two houses and some churches. Marching afterwards upon Ilardonnia, he was checked by the Greeks entrenched in towers with drawbridges. of which the habitations in that place consist. He Was about to be. siege them when the Hellenist army, commended by Colocotrowi, attacked him. The battle was well contested. The Paella, not be ing able to manoeuvre either his cavalry or his troops oh' the line among the woody mountains, was obliged to heat a retreat, after having lost 1,200 men. lie has retired into a country adjoining Monemhasia, called Pente Alonia, where he is continually ha- tossed by the Greeks. This news is certainly correct. M. Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely, the son of the Minister of State under the empire, remains at Napoli, organising the corps of cavalry. Colonel labvier is disciplining his troops after the Euro pean fashion. Some officers of artillery are teaching the Greeks bow to deal with cannon, and every thing is preparing for the sixth campain. The Neapolitan General Romans!, who has been taking refuge at Zante, with his wife and fire children, for the last twelve months, has departed for Gastouni. Ile isappointed by the Senate to or ganise some corps of infantry and cavalry, with which he will un dertake the siege of Patna. The Gulf or Lepanto continues to be blockaded by eight Greek vessels, which suffer no ship with provisions to pass.

The unexpected depression that occurred yesterday in the English Funds was followed up this morning by de clining prices. At one time Consols retrograded to 86fi, with every appearance of a lower quotation being reported before the conclusion of business. Even so late as half past three o'clock, there were eager sellers at ij ; when sud denly the market took a turn, and the price recovered to it which closed the transactionsof the day. No external causes operated to produce this decline; it arose entirely from the speculations of jobbers. The account at present seems to be decidedly a Bull one, and the Bears have taken advantage of this circumstance to its fullest extent, and are now causing the Bulls to suffer for continuing their ac counts, iftstead of taking the Stock out of the market: and to this circumstance may be attributed the present great and rapid decline in the price of Consols. It is understood that " the great" capitalist is a Bull to a very large extent. Much heavy business was transacted during the whole of the morning, and sales to a large amount were effected. It is scarcely necessary to say, after writing the foregoing respecting the English Funds, that the trifling business done in the Foreign market was at reductd quotations:— Colombian Bonds were at 701 1; Mexican Scrip was 100; Brazilian ditto, 914; Danish Bonds at 64, 61j; and Rus sian ditto at 91, 916. In Shares there was nothing doing. Sales of Sugar were with difficulty effected, but sellers would not allow the price to give way. Coffie and Rum were steady. There was a fair supply of every species of Grain in Mark-lane this morning, and the former quotations of the week were fully maintained. Ano'her Lisbon packet arrived yesterday, with letters dated the 29th October, but they bring no intelligence of public interest. They do not contain a syllable respecting the important negotiations concluded at Rio. Extract of a letter from Almeria, dated Oct. 7:—" A Greek armed vessel is now in this bay, with a Sardinian she has detained. The Greek is transhipping gnat part of the latter's cargo, under pretence that it properly belonged to the subjects of the lOttoman or Barbary Powers. We have been told the Sardinian was freighted at Gibraltar, and took her cargo at ()ran for Genoa, consisting of wool, cotton, and wax."—Gibraltar Chronicle, Oct. 17.

It is well known that differences have long subsisted be tween the possessors of the ancient Palatinate of the Rhine, on the right bank of that river, and the Crown of Bavaria, with respect to the obligation of taking on themselves the debt of the Palatinate, designated by the title D. The Court of appeal of the Kingdom of Hanover, sitting at Celle, having been chosen to decide the question, gave, on the 28th October, in the name, and by the authority, of the German Diet, its decision on this question, to the effect that the possessors of the ancient Palatinate of the Rhine, on the rig,lit bank of that river, shall pay two-fifths of the debt, and the Crown of Bavaria three-fifths.—German 15x 1 rr. An article, dated St. Petersburgh, Oct 8, in the Journal de It Belgiyue, states that the majority of the peasants of Opalieski, in Volhynia, formerly a province of Poland, have renounced the Roman Catholic Faith, in order to become members of the Greek Church, the establielied religion of Russia. They have consequently refused any longer to pay tith e s to the C a th o lic Cler g y. • Tl i i s a ff a i r I bis formed the subject of long discussions in the Senate, and with the local authorities, and it has at last been re solved that the tithes shall be divided in proportion to the population, but the Senate has recommended the appoint ment of a Commission to institute fixed rules fur cases of this nature. Private letters from St. Petersburgh state, that the Em peror Alexander will return to St. Petershurgh about the middle of November, his presence being necessary in some important diplomatic concerns; his Majesty for the present will not inspect the Cantonments of the Dnieper and those of lksaarabia, but leave it to some future perictl, when be will proceed to his Southern States.

Yesterday, at fivenunutes past one o'clock, his Majesty arrived, in his travelling carriage and four, at his Palace in Pall-mall, from his Lodge in Windsor Palk, preceded by his principal groom and two footmen on horseback, as out riders. The King was received at his carriage door by Sir William Congreve, the Equery in waiting. The Dukes of York and Clarence'were in waiting in the Palace, to re ceive their Royal Brother.

His first appearance will be on the 3d of December, on his return from Plymouth. In consequence of a statement, that Mr. Boehm has been appointed director of the musical department of the King's Theatre, Signor Venial has publicly anrauneed that he has been for some time past engaged by Mr. Ebers as vole director of all operas which will be given at that Theatre during the next season. A veteran dramatist, now alive, distinguished for the frankness and oddness of his humour, being required to state his grounds of exemption from serving in the militia, actually wrote on the official paper—" Old, lame, and a coward !" • We have beard that Mr. Gladstone has visited Berwick, for the purpose of waiting personally upon the resident burgesses. His canvass has been most flattering and suc cessful. Every where he met with the most cordial ('curler. The Rev.

Gregory has arrived in L o nd on with an Address to the Duke of York, from the Guild of Surgeons of Dublin, and waited on Sir Herbert Taylor on Wednesday last, to ascertain what day might be most con venient to his Royal Highness to receive it.

LIVAIALITY OF THE OF GUAY'S On Wednesday last, the Ministers and Students of Gray's Inn were gratified by a message from the Benehers, as complimentary as it was gratifying. After fixing the future hour for dinner at five o'clock, it was ill substance :Is follows:—That in future an additional bar-mess would be provided—that each bar-mesa would be presented daily with a bottle of sherry and a bottle of port—and that every oilier mess would also daily he presented with a bottle of port. That the Society of Gray's Inn can afford to be thus liberal we have no doubt ; but that circumstance does not at all take from the gentlemanly courtesy under the influ ence of which the alteration has taken place. The new chambers erecting in Gray's Inn gardens are in a consider able state of forivardness, and amongst the distinguished members of the bar who have engaged them, are Messrs. Bele, Heald, Montague, and i'veral others. • MONUMENT TO THE L 4TR LORD ERMINE• TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

THE PON'T ROULANT MI LITAIHE.—By one of those expert manoeuvres that have ceased to excite our surprise, this novel port able structure, seen in full play at the close of Friday evening. was in the course of that night, notwithstanding the occurrence of a squall and a heavy faH of rain, taken down, and removed from ha position over the basin, on the Race-ground, where it had been viewed, and tried in every way during the two past month'', and during that time had also been exposed to several very severe gales, which tore up large trees, and levelled many a dwelling, yet rot the least impression was made on the Rope Bridge, even in its exposed situation. although of 250 feet span, and the framing alto gether superficial. In Zugland the schema of this experimental military structure is yet unknown ; but we kayo lased that the Shakspearian, of which a model was sent hone, has al ready, at Chatham and Woolwich, been considered of great im portance as applicable to the military art. The curious foot bridge, constructed entirely of cane, or grOunil rattan, of one hundred feet span by five and a half, is still standing at Allipore.—Cokalta GU -ate. Jime.9.

Her corpse was accidentally discovered by Buck, the Ranger of the Canal, who, as he was passing along d ur i ng t h e heavy storm that evening, o bserved be found a bible, a prayer book, and a small wnrk-box. It in. mantle occurred to him that some unfortunate female had thrown herself into the Caird ; underneath the bridge he perceived a bonnet and shawl close to the water's edge. Ile procured a drag, but not. withstanding his efforts that night he could not meted in finding the corpse. The following morning, however, it was dragged out of the Canal at a short distance from where the bonnet and shawl were found. There were no marlin of violence whatever upon any part of the deceased's person, The Jury -returned a verdict of " Found drowned." The deceased, it appeared, had lived in the service of a gentleman at . Peckham, by whom she was discharged about ten days precious to her death, in cor..equence of committing theft in the hems; shicewhich period she manifested great utelan cht!y and :Jwnerks of spirits. BRADFORD COMBERS AND WEAVERS. [From the Leeds Irdelikeneer.l The " turn out" of these deluded persons is at en end On Friday last, at ten o'clock in the morning, theCombett and 11'eavers assembled, as usual, at the Union Pay R oom to receive their weekly allowance. The-Committee, n,. having any funds at that time to meet the demand, requestei i the men to come again at one o'clo c k n the afternoon. Th e , accordingly assembled at that hour, an d t h ey were told t o call again at two o'clock, and then they were desired to cull again at three o'clock, no money having yet •arrive t t These several postponements took place in consequence,, the hourly expectatioir throughout the day of the return of a deputation from Leeds with the requisite supply of rash, IVlien the men came at three, they were detained till half. past, waiting the arrival of the messenge rs from Leed s . At soon as the latter appeared, notice was given for the "t am outs" to call again on Saturday morning, adequate fund, not having been hitherto obtained. Mean time the C om , tnittee increased their exertions, and those who had been disappointed all (lay on Friday, were paid on Saturday, b ut the payment of those men who usually received dait lowance on Saturday, was deterred to Monday. The circumstances just detailed made a sail impre ll i on on the unfortunate operatives, and apprehending th at 4, future the of kirs of the Union would become woes? mkt than better, the (Ambers who bad been employed by 'm r. John Wood, jun. to the number of one hundred, Saturday evening to that gentleman, and offered to w ort to work at the old wages; and such of thorn rat were at. cepted took out their combs forthwith. On Monday morning the allowance to the " turn-one. due on Saturday was paid, and the allow:ince to the testa the Union in use course of the, day. When the roc. as , sembled in the morning, they colle-ted into groups, it Tester's recommendation, those of each master by tam selves; and in consequence, a gent:ral agreement wie eagle to to offer their services to their employers at the old prim Many of them accordingly proceedbd to the manufacturers for this purpose, and sucb us were received might after wards be seen in numbers passing through the street: o f Bradford, with small packs of wool on their backs, and combs and oil cans in their hands,on their way homeward s . On Monday about 150 of Mr. W oo d' s men had been seat to work, and 120 be was obliged to reject, in consequen ce of that number of combs having been previously set to Kjldwick, where he had recently transferred a portion of his business. Messrs. Rand and Mr. Rouse 'likewise set numbers of their fcrtner blends to work on similar terms. With respect to the ststments of Tester's earnings, made by Messrs. Rand, and by himself, we conceive the *hole question to resolve itself into this—what could Tester earn, nut what he chose to earn. Now, on the former, Messrs. Rand's statement is conclusive ; for, if during six con tinuous weeks a man obtained ?is. l ld. per week, at the usual rate of working, it 'must be his own fault that, on the same terms, he did not earn as much per week during the subsequent three weeks. The following we received from our correspondents last night " PRADTORD. Nov. 9. " &Wee my last, changes the most Important have taken glare. Notwithstanding the high tone of the res dution paned by the em on Monday week, not to turn in without the full advance iihei they had demanded, all who have been able to get employmalru the old prices have gone to work, but a serious number yet KM 1 unemployed, though how many I cannot learn. Tester set of ta London this morning, by the Rockingham. but the remainder of the Committee are yet at the Roebuck ; I believe their resource' have all, or nearly all, f a iled.

COMBINATIONS - IN - SCOTLAND. The class in society that arc most profiting by the break ing up of the combinations, and are most deserving of it, we allude to th e ill-paid labourers, are coming on surpris ingly well at Calder coal-works. Many of them are al ready as proficient as the regular bred colliers. The aver age wages run from 4s. ed. to Ss. 9d. a day. There are no idle days with them, nothing but industry and peaceful conduct reigns throughout the entire village of Faskine, and the moral character and hablitiof the new workmen form an agreeable contrast to thestate of the late popula tion. The pits filled by the new colliers are putting oat only a few carts a-day less than the old colliers, and the total amount of out-put is considerably greater, The guard at the coalworks is still continued, and has been wry useful in preventing any harm beteg dorm to the Flews or the new hands. But indeed the new workmen are we ! mated with the most commendable courage, and with up lifted picks, declare that they are ready to defend them selves against any attempt at molestation: Meanwhile the education of the children is not neglected. There is a free school-house allowed to a teacher in the village, who 'inactively instructing the rising generation. We are happy to state that the proprietors of coal works in Renfrewahire are discomfitt,ln grand style the colliers' confederation. Mr. Houstotiis I Works are fast filling with new men, and from the quality of the coal, most of them will become expert colliers within a month. They are to be allowed at the rate of three shillings per day wages. They are to work from eight to ten hours, according to the work done, and which is to be judged of by the Oversmen. Each man is to be furnished with what tools may be con sidered necessary for carrying on the work ; which tools are to be sharped and upheld by Mr. Houstoun ' and to be delivered back upon th e m e n l eav i ng hi s employment— they paying for what may be deficient. The men are only agreed from day to (lay, and may have the work, or be dismissed at a day's notice. Some of the besotted leaders of the weavers' combina tion are making every possible exertion to prolong its ex istence. It is some time since it was abandoned in the country . districts. During last week two delegates visited the principal towns in the west country, for the purpose of getting them reeorganised. A certain Scottish proverb says, "It's no for needling the gird whistles," and it must undoubtedly have struck the weavers in the west that their visiters had some passional interest,to serve, some hoped sharing largely in the pennies, or they wou ld uot beat such pains to keep up a combination, which experience has proved to be at once subversive of personal liberty, and highly injurious to the Sleet interests of the trade. This plan is now quite stale, and can nu longer answer the pur pose. Eight months ago, when the unseemly fabric of the association was tottering, it was cemmon for a couple of delegates to visit different places, and assure the weavers that the great body were adh e ri ng firmly to the roles, and by persevering a little longer they would be certain of a complete triumph. Ily this and other expedients the de lusion was prolonged, and, unfortunately for themselves, they persevered till they drove a port hin of the work cut of the country, and had brought thenwe.ves to the verge of ruin. After such calainitona remits, it is not to be sep posed that much attention would be paid to the delusive statements of these interested mom Some extensive manufacturing houses have establiibed branches of their business in different country towns, where they can git their work finished without either themselves or th,ir weavers being subjected to the surveillance of the leaders of the combination.—Glasgow Chronicle. On Tuesday a preliminary met' ing, as it is called, trig. held at Birmingham, of frionds to the Abolition ot . Slavery.
