The Gaulle d'Augsbourg, under the head of Smyrna, June 15, states that the English brig the Alfred, Captain MCK MAN, loaded with: warlike stores, arrived lately from London at Malta, from whence she sailed on the Q`.2.d of May, for Napoli di Romania. The same day another ves sel sailed from Malta, with coals, for the steam-boats ex pected at Napoli. "It is now clear," says the Journalist, `' what the neutrality of the English means." We subjoin some extracts from the Efoile, dated July 77, giving fur ther accounts of the affairs at Constantinople. It is said that the English Ambassador has rot hitherto accepted a guard from the new corps, instead of his Janissaries, hay ing kept the house of the Embassy shut ever since. [From rEtuite, dated July 27 ] Panis, JULY 20. Tl:e Constitatidnuci will not be contradicted ; in spite of all the accounts received from authentic sources, it will persist in asserting that Constantinople has been laid waste by fire, were it but a thir teth part of it. The fact is that there has been no fire, except that of the barracks, and the inconsiderable places which served as retreats for the Janissaries, which the Sultan ordered to be burnt, as we said, on the 2:id. The Constitarionsd, which is seldom contented with one false hood, has created by its own pilvate authority a corps of 20,000 Janissaries, who have made the formidable insurrection at Adria nople. The fact is, that the insurrection there was put down on the nth, as we have alrzatly stated, and that tranquillity was re stored. We now learn that in all the fortresses on the Ds. nubc, Widdin, Rudschuk, Silistria, &c., the Janissaries have submitted without resistance to the orders of the Government, and it is probable that they will be equally obedient in Asia and in the other provinces, where these troops, having learnt the complete de struction of the central corps w hich constituted them, will not think of revolting ; besides, there is not any where a Consl;- intionnel thus to give 20,000 Janissaries to each chief town of a pad ;silk, ar.d their real number in these places seldom exceeds a few hundred men. The Sultan is intent on profiting 1)y his victory to effect the most important reforms in the Ad ministra , ion. It is expected that many new institutions will be created, which will be useful not only to the 31ahontetan subjects, but also to the Christians. An Ordinance is spoken of, by which the levy of the capitation on the Rajas should be made under the inspection of their Ecclesiastical Chiefs. It is even said that this tax will be replaced by a general land tax. There is also an idea of a change in the laws relative to inheritance, of ameliorations in the monetary system, of the establish ment of quarantine against plague, &c. We do not know what struggle there may lie between the system of reform and old habits ; but it is certain that the will of the Turkish Government in this respect leaves no doubt at this moment. A letter of the 27tb, which we received from Constantinople, con cludes as follows:—" A person who has been about Sultan Ma hortiet for these twenty years, and who in a manner never loses sight of him, lately expressed his surprise to one of his confidants. I have never remarked,' said lie, so much resolution, tirmneas, activity, and courage in this Prince, as during the crisis through which we have just passed. Ile is quite another man. Fla corn. ®NiCstcS to ill those who are about him the enthusiasm with wbl Iss is himself animated. I cannot recover from my astonish t," It is a fact that the Sultan shows a firmness of character which he was not suspected to possess, and if he continues to support it, it would be unjust to refuse him a place among the Sovereigns of the Ottoman ra e, who have left a great reputation behind them.

A contemporary of ours, whose views in general are suf ficiently limited, has undertaken lately to prove that the establishment of branch banks by the Bank of England will be productive of consequences not less detrimental to the country than those which arose from the imprudent advances of the country bankers. As usually happens with narrow-sighted men, he observes a possible inconvenience attendant on the system, and, destitute himself of resources in cases of difficulty, he cannot conceive a possibility of remedy beyond that of which he is himself aware. It can not be denied that the Bank of England is one of the most powerful engines in the hands of Government; nor can it be doubted that this extension of its field of operation will render it still more important. The only objections to a small note currency are its tendency to produce crime, and its boundless power of expansion, as encouraging specula tion and increasing the price of provisions. Our contem porary admits that the establishment of branch banks will diminish forgery; but maintains that it will increase spe culation. Now, it seems to us that a body of men like the Directors of the Bank of England are much less likely to abuse the power of issuing paper money than any set of private bankers, however resreetable. As in almcst every other department, the number of persons engaged in bank ing had been increased far beyond its due proportion, and as every banker individually had an tqual right to take part in the advantages arising from the disposition to spe culate, each was gni& d in his issues by the demand, with very little reference to the course of exchanges, which did not become an object of consideration with them, as their over-issues were only checked by calls for London paper, and this, in consetpenee of the excessive internal traffic, did not for some time come at all into operation. A body of men like the Bank can take an extensive view of its whole citculation, and is therefore enabled to check excess earlier and without inconvenience. At the same time, we cannot brat say that the advantages enjoyed by the Bank of England are of a Paton which ought not to be enjoyed without some supe rior control, by any body of men but these who are at the h ee d o f his Majesty's Government. The trade of this THE BRITISH PRESS• country is permanently increasing ; notwithstanding its oc casional reverses, it is always making a steady progress. NVe may illustrate our meaning by the case of a vessel ad- ' vancing by long tacks, which sometimes proceeds through the water with amazing rapidity, though not exactly in the proper direction. It is conseqty ntly obliged to turn back with equal rapidity in an almost retrograde direction ; but when it reaches the utmost point of its return, it is still found that it has Mile some progress from the point where it' started, and in the mean time it is in readi ness to take advantageof the first favourable wind to advance directly towards its destination. The trade of the country is always in this progressive state. The circula tion must increase in a similar ratio, and therefore every advance made in trade is a clear sum put into the pockets of the holders of Bank Stock, and quite independent of their regular profits on discount, &c. it would be very well that a Government should possess such a privilege, even in a despotic State, because it would give its members an ad ditional interest in promoting the trade of the country ; but it would be very improper that any private company should possess such advantages without being bound to snake ad vances and compensations for the service of the nation. We most decidedly approve of the establishment of Branch Banks, but only in the understanding that the additional permanent circulation of bank notes arising from the mea sure, shall not he reserved entirely for the behoof of the Shareholders of the Bank, hut shall be syplied, after de ducting the fair profits, to the alleviation of the distress under which the country labours, in the way which we have so often insisted upon. Here, then, is another of the ways and means from which we might hope to derive some immediate relief. We are quite aware how ungracious a task it is to recom mend patience to persons in the condition of the Manches ter weavers; but the apprehension of unpopularity shall not make us shrink from what we conceive the performance of a paramount duty. It will be seen by the letter of our Correspondent, in another column, that a Requisition has been signed by certain parties in that town, to the local authorities there, the object of which is to cause them to call a public meeting, to petition his Majesty to assemble Parliament, in order that it may repeal the Corn Laws and reduce the national expenditure. This Requisition, it seems, has received the signatures of very few of the respect able inhabitants of Manchester, inasmuch as they disapprove of dictation to the Legislature, as to the measures they I should adopt ; but it appears that the main point in the Requisition is approved by the majority of the inhabitants; and we are sorry for it, because every day's experience more strongly convinces us of the inability of Parliament to dissipate the embarrassments of the country. The pre sent distress may very easily be accounted for in the exci tation that was afloat in the early part of the last year, oc casioned by various causes, every one of which had a direct tendency to promote over-production. Amongst the most prominent of those causes was the diminution of taxation, which began to operate to a much larger extent than at any previous period of the peace ; the freedom of the intercourse with the South American States; and the anticipation of the non-restrictive system being acted upon, together with the actual commencement of liberal princi ples with Tigard to the Navigation Laws. That the free trade system has increased the present distress beyond what the announcement of it caused in over-produc tion, we do not believe; but if it had, what remedy can Parliament apply to it? It surely could not re trace its steps when we are in the centre of our diffi culties, with a land of promise before us if we manfully sustain them and proceed, and a desert of wretchedness behind us if we turn back. The question comes, we admit, in a most powerful shape as to what is to be done with a distressed population ; anti although we assert that neither the Parliament nor the Ministry can by direct measures afford relief, we will yield to no one in our anxiety for the alleviation of distress, which we think can only be obtained ultimately by increasing the means of human subsistence, and temporarily by the efforts of Ctrii, FRIDAY EVENINU. The Money Market to-day has presented an improved appearance, Consols, which openel at 771 !„ having ad vanced to 771 f buyers, although money is as abundant in the market as ever. As no Foreign intelligence has ar rived to aid this advance, it is generally attributed to the reports of the probability of a speedy reaction in respect to the manufactures of the country. It is understood that the Deputations that have waited upon the Government have represented that the stocks on band are beginning to decrease, and that, if relief can be extended in the way pf charitable donations for a short tine longer, there is every probability thrt the services of the labourers will, ere long, be called into action. Whether thess statements have had the effect produced, or whether the bears have taken an alarm, may equally be matter of conjecture. In Foreign Stock there is also a trifling advance of about to i per cent. ; even Spanish has improved in that ratio, being at S. Mexican are at 49, and Colombian 33. The continued beautiful state of the weather operates to render 'the Corn Market still very dull and heavy, at prices full as high as at the begirnieg, of the week. In Colonial prOduce there is more dome than for some time pst, and at rather better prices. The low ebb to which they had attained was matter of serious and well grounded regret. Looking at the state of the Markets g•merally, this day, there is certainly an appearance of more vigour and anima tion about them than they have displayed for some time past; and therefore, judging from the opratioos of a single day, things may be said to be a shade better. Exchanges display the slightest passible vat iatiori. The Duke of York took his daily ride on horseback, on Thursday. The Princess Augusta visited the Duke of York yester day, at Mr. Greenwood's villa, at Brompton. • Mr. Secretary Peel has had scvcral interviews with the Mike of York during the past week.

LORD MAYOR'S VISIT TO OXFORD. BRIGUTON, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, 3 O'CLOCE• Much has been said about the Brightonians having given offence to his Majesty, and that they are not again to be tonoured with the presence of Ralty. That this is in- ended for party purposes, or rather by their rivals for royal favour, no one who thinks for a moment can dispute. It is natural for the town of Windsor to wish to keep the King in their vicinity, and, consequently, reports are propa gated, as destitute of truth as they are easily seen through. We, indeed, are indebted to our august Sovereign for I making U 3 what we are, and we litre ever gratefully ac knowledged the patronage bestowed upon our town. It is now clearly shown that the Pavilion does, and is to, remain in slain quo, and that nothing has been removed which might justify the assertion so of tin expressed, so often refuted—that his Majesty is disgar.:ted with the con t duct of the Brighton people ; on the contrary, much of the materiel of Carlton Palace has been brought here ; there ' fore, we have a right to expect that towards the autumn his Majesty will again he among us. Our races begin to-morrow, and some are inclined to suspect that the fixing them on a Saturday is a ruse to kee the ompany amongst us a day longtr ; but however the p effect c may be, we do not think that anything of the sort was intended by those entrusted with the arrange ment. And here, without the slightest wish to cast any reflection on the Stewards of last year, we cannot avoid ob serving, that it was notorious that something was wanting, ; particularly on the last day, when every one but those im mediately inbrested was kept in the dark: till an hour or two before the running, not a soul could speak as to what was intended, and when the sport did commence. no one I could tell what horses ran, who they belonged to, what they ran for, or how they came in. The Stewards of the present year, Earl Egremont and Lord Dunwioh, are so completely au pit as to what ought to be done on these occasions, that we have a right to ex pect the best of sport, anti that every thing will be arranged for the gratification of the company. Within the last week we have had a considerable influx-- I of visitors, and our coaches are every hour coming in loaded, insomuch that most of the hills, which a few days ago disfigured our windows, have disappeared. The Libra ries, the Ste)ue, and the Chain Pia, are crowded each evening, and Brighton is now at least equal to its best days. The Theatre opens to-morrow everting, and, if we may judge from the number of performers whose names figure so conspicuously in the bills, Russell seems determine(' to do great things ; but " all is not gold that glitters ;" for, with the exception of Mrs. Orger, Miss Vincent (the Drury lane 'facia), Russell, and Barry, we should say that the company is only numerically strong. The Downs are in good condition for the races, the late rains having moistened the turf, and consequently made it more favourable for the horses ; and in this particular we have an advantage over last year, when the sport was ma terially and prejudicially affected by the intense heat of the weather and the dryness of the ground. The preparations for to-morrow arc now going on, and we have little doubt but the most sanguine expectations will be realized. The following are the principal visitors now here : The Earl and Countess Mountcharles, Earl of Egremont, Earl and Countess of Howth, Earl Lisburne, Dowager Countess of Normanton, Earl and Countess of Coventry, Lords Lennox, Put cliesta, C. Somerset and lady, Barnard and lady, Dowager Conn. tess and the Ladies St. Lawrence, bay Barbara Crawford, Sir John and Lady Maclean , Sir N. Colthurat, Generals Stopfurd, Travers, Colonels Austin, Wallhouse. Money, Admirals Sir W. Fahie and Stopford. Major Crawford, Captains Harrison and Crispo, Messrs. Charles NV yndlistn, Douglas, &c. &c. During the whole of the morning Lord lig.remont has been actively employed in the business of the rack s. To guard against the body of pickpockets who have already arrived here, upwards of' 200 special constables have been sworn in this morning; they are placed under the guidance of Taunton, who is engaged for the purpose. To com plete the arrangements and fill up the Plates, Sec. a Meet ing of the Race Oummittee will be held this evening at the Royal Oak, where his Lordship will preside. A full at tendance of the members is expected. A considerable number of Gentlemen have visited the Downs this morning, to witness the horses take their exer cise. Nearly all that are engaged were out, including several of the crack Newmarket racers, all of' them looking in prime racing condition. Some slight betting took place on the Cup, for which Chateau Margaux is backed against the field. Stumps is the favourite for the Brighton Stakes. The appointments for to-morrow are as under:— The Brighton Stakes of 25 soya, each, 15 forfeit, and only 5, ite. with 100 sovs• given by the Town. Two miles. Lord Emenvont's Stumps, 4 yrs, 9.t. 41h.

On Tuesday evening, at six o'clock, the Lord Mayor, em ail . partied by the Members of the Corporation of the City of Londo n , left the star Inn, at Oxford, and proceeded t o the T ow n Ilan, where B c a e n e d r e t c h dvd e Representatives r b r y the esent Mayor ves o tof thattfo /x ancientrd the City ldiermen, Bement. The dinner, which had been provided by the Corporation of Oxford, was pronounced to be equal to any thing the metropoli s had ever produced. The venison was particularly fine. The dessert and wines were of a superior quality, and the latter were all iced. The Mayor of ()elm& T. Ensworth, Esq. was highly compn. mented on his liberality, as manifested in the sumptuous natur e of the entertainment, and on the style in which it was got up an d served. On the sideboards there was a grand display of gold sell silver cups, received at various coronations for several centuries past by the Mayors, who have the privilege of presenting a vas tumble cup to the Kirg to drink from, and of retaining it ter their tee. The cup given by Queen Elizabeth was much admired, brill of pure gold. King Charles the Second's was richly ernho.sel. The first toast gitren was " The King:" after which, 'et,, Duke of York and the Army," " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy," " The Duke of Sussex and the rest of the Royal Fs. roily " were drank with becoming loyalty and enthusiasm. Tl;e Mayon of OXFORD then rose, and expressed the ge n e& cation which he felt at having the honour to entertain the hind Magistrate and Members of the most ancient and powerful Como. ration in the kingdom. Ile proposed the health of their distinguished visitor, the Lord Mayor of London. The toast was drank in a very distinguished manner. The Loito MAYOR, in returning thanks. said lie had adifficiiity in expressing the gretilierition which was felt by himself and hts fellowonembers of the Corporation of the Ci:y of London, for hie honour done them in a city which brought so many pleasing alto. Mations to the mind. Ile hoped that the most friendly intercourse would always su b sist between the two Cnrporatione. In conelu. kW), he proposed the health of t` The Mayor of Oxford," which was drank in a very warm manner. The health of " The Members of Parliament fur Oxford" was then drank. Mr. LOCKHART, in acknowledging the honour done. then said, it gave hint great pleasure to meet the Lord Mayor and Megistrates of the City of London, who by their example, gave a tone to rit e whittle city and empire. lie was sure, front what he had seen at d heard of the present Lord Mayor and Magistrans, that tone and example would be of the best kind. He concluded by proposM{ the health of " Alderman Atkine," with whom he had lone acted in Parliament. He entertained the highest respect fur the Worthy Alderman, and rejoiced at the prospect of meeting him there again. Alderman A T KIVS. in returning thanks for the kind manner in which his health had been drank, said lie had often acted in oppo. sition to his friend, but always with respect and esteem. The health of " Alderman 3legnay" was then drank, alter which followed the healths of " the Aldermen, the Bailiff., and Vice-Chancellor of Oxford." ftl r. Lottenalor then proposed the health of "the venerable Chamberlain of London," who was present in excellent heath, though he was in his 87th year. The Hon. Member spike of hint as a model of the elegant manners, literary taste, and kind dispo. sition of tie generation that was past. lle was happy to see that the Chamberlain, who had been the companion of so many roes whose names were cow enrolled in our history, was still in health, and had loot none of his vivacity. The CH A M R LAIN returned thanks in a very neat speech; and I said that lie lied certainly arrived at a time of life when a writ ef ease might fairly be claimed, yet he should be the most ungratefel matt alive were he to do so now, after his health had been so pro. posed and received. The healths of " the Sheriffs of London, and of the Town Clerk of Oxford," were then drank. The Town CLERK, in returning thanks, said, that if ever he should write a history of that City, he should record the 3leetilg this day as an enrich in its annals. The health of Alderman Lucas was thi n drink, when theist. ter, in returning thanks, said, he hoped the I icy of London would always be ready to do suit and service wherever it was required. He should always be ready to promote the harmony which now exirted between the two Corporations, and to return the hospitality and kindness with which they had been treated. The healths of the Town Clerk and Solicitor of the City of Lon. don were then drank, and the Civic festivity continued until slats hour. CORNWALL AND DEVONSHIRE MINING COMPANY. Thursday a Meeting of the Shareholder' in this Company toot place at the King's Head, in the Poultry, for the purpose of adopt. mg measures for the recovery of astir deposits: R. Rut, Esq. is the chair. Mr. WY. CLARK stated, that a Meeting had taken placed" that day week, at which some extraordinary disclosures had bien made with respect to Mr. Wilke, jun., the Saltaior to :h..' c a w. parry. He had made that statement, and ale. iVilks, in order to bop him mouth in future upon the subject, had serval him with a wilt of trespass, he supposed for defamation. That object would be completely defeated. It appeared evident, from the infanta tion which he (Mr. Clark) had received, thet Mr. Willis had charged the Company with 121,00'J/. as the price of the mines. This wax stated at a Meeting at wliteit Alta Willis was present, and a refusal was given by him to the request that he would min. dun what he had given for them. A Director (.lr. Teague), who was vendor of mote than one-half of the mines, refused also to give an answer; but he (Mr. Clark) had traced the whole concoctive to its source. lie then handed in a paper of the particulars, freon which it appeared that Mr. Wilks had agreed to give 79 wet for those mines, for which he had charged the Company the sum of 121,000/.. by which he put into his own pocket, and thole a kis party, 40,40111. (Cries of •• Shame !") The scheme was grt up at the Albion Tavern. After having put forth a prospectus, siz of the projectors, amongst whom was Ale. Willis, proceeded to Corn. wall and Devonshire, and framed a Report, which was a perfect delusion upon the public. All the parties engaged in visiting the mines were the actual buyers and :tellers, and all the agents were dependent npon them. Ore gentleman, who had been employed to value the mines, estimated that at 3,000!. which .Mr. Wilke and his party had estimated at 20,000/.. and which they recommended the Company to purchase, as worth 30,000/. Mr. Clark proceeded to detail many circumstances in confirmation of h i s charge, arid concluded by stating, that the deed of settlement, as the whole of the proceedings were fraudulent, was not binding. The Cum ii MAN stated, that Lord Palmerston had been mOO% at the last Meeting. and expressed his surprise at the statement which implicated the projectors of the Company. His Durasle? also stated, that if the charges were founded in fact, a meet* ought to be called, in order that those who were innocent an'oasst the Directors might exculpate themselves. He (the Chaitrese informed the Meeting that Ale. Willis held the deal, and the I oen puny were in possession of nothing; and the mines were likely w revert to the original proprietors. I lere a conversation took place, in which it was admitted ups all hands that I, ird Pahneraton and Mr. Sullivan, a Direnea whose name had been polo:pun the list since the deed was sign , '. were quite blameless in this affair, which, all admitted, was moo disgraceful. Alr. Ngw MAN (a Director) said he came forward to declare din he never hsd attended a single Meeting of the Board, aid never had received a single shilling. He had certainly allowed hi. more to he added.to the list of Directors, but it was because he had such telixnce upon the respectability and honour of those who formal tie Board. Mr. 0. Sattannage said he had something important to one. m unicate. Ile should state it, not on account of th e rariaace tha' had taken place between hint and Ala al'ilks, but for the sake of those respectable persons whom he had induced to become sub scribers to the Company. A Meeting - of the Projectors, as lilt! were called, took place at the Albion Tavern, and it was erne that he (Mr. Sheldrake) should be ranked as one of them, and th e he should get as much of the first instalment as the vest of the?` a namely 4001. (Lipressions of surprise, and cries of " Shameful! ! Mr. CLARK—I forgot to mention that at the time this Compri came out, a pamphlet was sent round to the subscribers, romaine a copy of " the Bubble Act," and the draft of a Bill annexed. which Mr. Peter Moore was to bring into Parlinment , for the more perfect protection of the public from frauds. (Laughter.) Tha was to perfect the delusion—to pretend to guatd the Company b . ! additional pena)ties--to show that the Compaq was complete all its parts. Mr. KEnstrave (a Director) said he greatly regretted his E. quaintance with Mr. Wilke, hut he had farmed it in ainsequerce of having seen him with Cord Palmerston and other respecable persons. lie (Mr. Kershaw) was one of those who had gone tel Cornwall, to inspect the mines, and he never hammed any so much in his life. Etery moment of his lite had helm em: • tered since. Ile was not capable of judging, and depended ur the judgment of otheat, a..d was deceit ed. He went ti the Alri : Tavern afterwards, and got money there; he received VOL. he told Air. Wilke lie could not think of keeping, as he war f entitled to it; to which Air. Wilke replied, that he de - trued it his services, end if he did not like to take it as remold's:a:o.l:e m i g ht consider it as a loan; lie went rolled to all the Directors. .0 request that they would be cautious of Mr. Wilke , as won as t o ascertained how badly things were going on. TheCrlitaiAle asked who else had rec eived money 4001'1 occa4on Mr. KERSHAW begged that the Meeting would not insist ite having the names., He had not exposed the proceellinge.,ls! th o ught to have done, as Mr. Willis actuall y kept him m d'• greatest terve.
