Towards the close of the Consol Market yester day afternoon Consols gave way, owing to accounts having been received of some event having suddenly started which prevented the final signature of the p r eliminaries of peace between the Russians and Turks, which circumstance has been despatched by Counts Pahlen and Diebitsch to the Emperor at St. Petersburgh, for his approbation's:3r disapproba tion. On the other hand, the arrival of the Express from Paris this morning, in which it is reported that hostilities had again recommenced on the Bth, has also considerably damped the C'onsol Market. Con sols, which left off yesterday at 89-a for the Account, opened this morning at 891, soon after were done at 89k, and may at present be quoted at 891 buyers, and 89 to for money. The Hebrews being again absent from the Market,' as their holidays do not finish till this evening, their operations will remain Tnnaked until to-morrow, and it ie not believed that they were the great sellers yesterday, but persons who had followed their operations. The well informed are still of an opinion that the differences which have prevented the signifyg of the Treaty will soon be overcome, and eventually peace will take place. 'Madras Papers have been received at the North 4 ml South American Coffee-house to the 3d of May. (From the Madras Gazette of May 2.)

ELECTION CF THE LORD MAYOR. This morning a numerous body of the Liverymen as sembled, accordin4 to annual custom, for the purp,se of nominating and returning two Aldermen, one of whom to be chosen by the Court of Aldermen as Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. At one o'clunk the Lord Mayor, Alder men, and Officers of the Corporation took their stations upon the hustings; they were attended by Mr. Hunt, who appeared to be looked for with great anxiety by the Livery m,-n, in the expectation that be " would s-ty something' . on the subject of City gormandizing and expenditure. The RECORDER having opened the Hall by stating the purpose for which they were convened, _ _ Common-Serjeant DENMAN was loudly chum(' as he read over the names of the Aldermen who were proposed. Mr. Alderman Kay's nsme was received with a very large show of hands. Hum' presented himself, and was received with mingled cheers and hisses. He said, he wished to speak a few words relative to Mr. Alderman Crowther before the question, as to his nomination, was put ; it was, however, decided that he could not speak ti!l after the question was put and the Alderman elected. Mr. Hum, after saying he wished to speak to the eligibility of Alderman Crowther, retired. The :tame of Alderman Crowther was then read and re ceived with the same demonstrations of respect and majo rity of hands as Alderman Kay. Mr. DENMAN announced that the choke of the Livery men had fallen on Alderman Kay and Alderman Crowther. This announcement was received with loud cheers. The Lord Mayor and Aldermen then retired into the Council Chamber to decide on the two nominations. In consequence, however, of there not being a sufficient number of Aldermen to make a legal election, the choice was not expected to be announced till a late hour. At the time of our going to press it was perfectly understood that Mr. Alderman Kay had declined serving for the ensuing year, and that the office would of course fall on Mr. Alderman Crowther.

CITY MARKETS-(TWO O'CLOCK.) SUGAR.—The arrivals of Plantation Sugar continue to be large, and although the delivery for home consumption is pretty extensive, spewing a regular demand for Sugars; the stock yesterday in the West India Ducks was 51,425 lols. and 3,763 trcs. The market wears, however, a rather less active appearance than it did, but this morning sufficient business has nut been transacted to allow of an accurate opinion being formed as to whether prices will be supported. The stock of Mauritius Sugars is getting low. There is little demand fur Foreign Sug-trs, either for t!:e home or continental trade. In COFFEE some re-action has taken place on the late advance, a state of things to be expected, but as the de liveries are considerable it may be stated that the market remains in a healthy state. RU3l.—Both the export and home consumption de mand is steady ; for the latter 453 puns. and 18 hhds., and for the former 343 puns. and 42 hulls., were delivered last week . , leaving the stock in the West India Docks yes terday, 26,797 puns. and 2,026 hhds. Had it not been, however, for th:i Government contracts the prices must have given way, as it is they are drooping. 'Fite delivery of BRANDY last week was large. COTTON.—The increased demand for Cotton at Liver pool has tendered to render the market final here, and prices are a shade better. The quotations are as follows : Surats, 31d. to 311. ; Bengals, ; Demerara, si-d. to ; Bahia, sid. to 64 p. ; Maranham, 5 d. to fi d. ; Bowels, 4ad. ; Iharbadoes, 51. ; Egyptian, 6d. to 71al. per lb. The Tonacco market is firm ; Virginia stemmed, from sd. to 51.1. per lb. In Hors there is no alteration worthy notice. The pickings are going on generally, and turn out less favour ably than was anticipated. BALTIC PRODUCE.—The accounts from St. Peters burgh quote the E xc h ange a t f rom 101 to 10, 21-32. Tallow was at 100 rubles; shipped off 115,000 casks. Here the prices heavy, from 375. 6d. to 375. 91. There were delivered last week 2,288 casks. Hemp is from 445. to 459., and Flax, 355. per cent. _ . Some of the commercial advices from Madras, received to••day to the 3d of March, represent that there had been rather an improved demand for some descriptions of British manufactures, but prices continued ruinnutly low ; Wool-- lens and Cottons barely fetched the invoice prices, and in many instances had been sold under such value. The stock on hand continues large. His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBER LAND, accompanied by the Duchess and Prince GEORGE, honoured the Colosseum, yesterday, with a visit fur three hours. The illmitrions visitors expressed their great ap probation of the Picture and general arrangements. His Royal Highness avcended in the ascending room made for - - that purpcse. The Gallery of Arts, which is at present in the Saloon, attracted greatly the attention of his Royal Highness, particularly the colossal figure of CHRIST on the Cross, by Mr. SIEVIER. Ills Royal Highness also pur chased a bust of the venerable Earl ELDON, by the same artist. The Marquis of CrIOLMONDELEY'S fine mansion in Piccadilly,-which has been sold to the Duke of CAmnitincE, is undergoing a thorough repair, previously to the arrival of his Royal Highness from Hanover. It is reported thetoffiee of Commander-in-Chief is destined for the Duke, and in that event, the Duke of CUMBERLAND would be appointed to the Government of ['allover—a dis tinction said to be tie summit of his Royal Highness's ambition ; but to this there are at present insuperable ob jections in a very high quarter. A surplus of 1,0001. in aid of the public charities is expected from the Chester Musical Festival after defraying all expensts. THE POST-OFFICE.--in the next Session of Parliament a Bill is to be introduced, for the purpose of regulating the details of the contemplated consolidation of the English and Irish Past-office Establishments. It is understood that the Bill is preparing under the superin tendence of Mr. VESEY FITZGRRAI.D. The salary of the English Secretary is to be reductd to 1,0001. per annum, and that of the Secretary residing in Dublin to 500/. All orders relative to the details of management, and all ap poiniments to offices, clerks, &c., are to issue from the London Office. Of course a discretionary power over the Irish provincial offices will be vested in the Secretary at Dublin. The clerks are not, as heretofore, to be stationed permanently, but those in London are to be removed occa sionally to Dublin, and vice versa. It is proposed to re duce the salaries of the clerks generally ; but no alteration in this regard will take place with the present possessors, who will be superannuated, or permitted to die off Neither will any change occur in the salaries of Sir FRAS. FREEI.ING or Sir EDWARD LEES. One or both of the Irish Post-Masters-General will be altogether dispensed with.—Dublin Paper. Yesterday (Thursday) evening, about six eb the Sandwich packet, Captain SCIIYLER, arrived at Falmouth, from Lisbon, from which place she sailed on the 13th inst. She brings intelligence that the defeat of the expedition against Terceira has become fully known at Lisbon, by the successive arrival of several vessels belong ing to it. The first that made her appearance in the Tagus was the Amacon frigate, which arrived on the Gth inst. On the 7th :no gun...brigs, each of 16 guns, and several transports arrived. On the 11th, the Diana frigate came in. These arrivals rendered all affected ignoranceof the fate of the expedition useless; its total discomfiture speedily became the topic of conversation amongst all classes. The partisans of the usurper are furiously en• raged, whilst the Liberals look their exultation, though they dare not publicly avow it. But the most important effect is, that ivhich it .is understood has been produced on the soldiery by the disgraceful defeat sustained at Ter•, ceira. It is said, that um quivocal symptoms of disaffec tion to norm.. have been manifested by the troops that have returned , as w e ll as b y those w h o compose th e gar rison of Lisbon. As these sentiments are known to be partaken by a large proportion of ,the inbul,itanta, hopes of a general insurrection against the tyrant were again entertained. The next arrival will prob:bly show whe ther these expectations are likely to be realized. The Sandwich left the Pomona, French frigate, in the Tagus, wbeg ebe eaile4;— Weft Brum SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. NEWMARKET, MONDAY EVENING.--P. event appear- ances (10 not justify an opinion that the company will he more numerous or the sport better than is customary at the first of the O. toner Meetings : indeed, if there is any differ , nee, it is otl the unfavourable side.

As several Noblemen and gen tlemen have not yet arrived, considerable anxiety is felt on the subject.

GREAT PEDESTRIAN PERFORMANCR• West, the Champion of English Pedestrians, started on Friday last, at four o'clock in the afternoon, to walk the extraordinary distance of nine miles and a half in ,me hour and thirty minutes, en a quarter of a mile piece aground, which was measured from the Olive Branch, East-street, Paddington. One peculiar novelty in the match was, that the distance was to be performed baelavards, and es three o'clock was the time appointed vast numbers of per sons assembled before the pedestrian commenced his la bours, but very little betting took place ; indeed far the last six years the pedestrian has increased his speed almost every task, until it is not exactly known what is the greatest distance he can perform. lie went off at a very great pace, which he continued without mach apparent fatigue, and accomplished the distance in one hour, 25 minutes, and 10 seconds, winning the match by one mi nute and 50 seconds. One of his umpires, a gentleman at Kennington, afterwards made a match for him to pick up 9 00 stones with his mouth, one yard apart, the dis tance being upwards of 21 miles, its three and a half suc cessive hours. To come off on Monday next, near Ken nington-cross ; 101. a-side was poated instanter, and the remainder 101. aside on Saturday evening last, at the Rising Sun, Kennington. Miss ELLEN TREE joins the Covent-Garden company this season, and will doubtless prove a most valuable acqui,ition to it. Melancholy to state, three little children were burned to death by falling into a lime kiln at Kilgarvan, county Kerry, last week. They were literally burned to cinders.— Tipperary Free Press. On Saturday evening last three young women happened to meet together at the house of JAMES [Ma aocKs, in Edgeworth. One of the pai ty, in searching the drawers for some piper to curl her hair with, found a powder wrapped in a paper, and mistaking it for cre im of tu•ter or magnesia, tasted it. Finding it palatable she in duced her companions to tiste also ; the consequence was, that the whole of the three were taken suddenly ill, and one of them named CROMPTON, aged 20 years, died on the follow ing mlrning. The powder, on being examined, proved to be arsenic. An inquest was held on the body on Tuesday last, and a ♦erdict in accordance with the circumstances was returned.— Bolton Chronicle. AN IMPOSTOR'S LAST HOAX.—Not long ago, the wife of a poor man, of the name of JAMES Btrr- TERFIELD, then residing at Southowram, made applica tion to the overseers of Halifax, where her husband belonged, stating that he was dead, and requesting they would allow her what was usual in such cases to bury him with, which they accordingly did. flowerer, not long after, they dis covered she had imposed upon them, as her husband was living and well ; and what makes it more singular is, a short time ago the husband made his appearance before the overseers for a similar allowance to inter his wife, which latter did not turn out to he a hoax, for, on Tuesday last he got spliced again to another at our parish church.— Halifax Chronicle. RECEPTION OF THE WAVERLEY NOVELS IN THE UNITED STATES.—CA REY and LEA, of Phila delphia, the republishers of the Nl r averley novels, get the start of the market by means of the proof sheets, which enables them to print off about 10,000 copies in two volutreg, at eight shillings; subsequent editions being soon coarsened and cheapened down to a dollar. On one occasion, the ship with the last proof sheets, by some delay, only reached America on the same day as another which brought a complete copy of an English edition. The publisher, who had already printed up to this missing sheet, " was waiting, (says Captain HALL,) at New York for the arrival of the packet, boarded her before the anchor was gone, got hold of his prize, and galloped back to Philadelphia. The unlucky sheet was straightway set up in a dozen different printing offices, which were kept in motion night and day, by relays of workmen, till the book was not only completed for immediate sale on the spot, in Philadelphia, hut, IT means of carriages posted on the road, a couple of thousand copies were actually ready for distribution at New York, within six-and-thirty hours after the arrival of the ship ! Thus the missing pages had first to travel ninety miles before they reached a printing press; then to be worked off, stitched, packed, and re turned to New York, all in a day and a half, so as to sup ply the market before any of the publishers of that city bad timW tc , Wog th 9 field , "• , ...Edinbifrph Review.

A number of spectators assembled outside the chapel. Mr. FOLEY, M.P. for Droitwich, who has so handsomely subscribed towards the fund for opening Covent-garden Theatre, is one of the most distinguished patrons of private theatricals in the kingdom. At his lovely seat, in Herefordshire, he has built a Theatre, where private plays are acted by Cshionable amateurs in a style equal to the Duke of Ricumown's, at Privy Gardety, many years back, which were superintended by Miss FARREN; or to Lady NORMANBY'S, at Florence, which are said to vie with our established Metropolitan Theatres.

PIMLICO NEW PALACE.—On Thursday afternoon the attention of the public was much attracted by one of the most stupendous blocks of white statuary marble perhaps ever seen in this country, which had been landed at Messrs. FREEMAN'S wharf, in Millbank-street. The block of marble was placed on a low carriage truck, and weighed twenty-four tons ; it is about thirty feet in length, and near four feet in diameter. On account of the great value of the load, precautions were taken to prevent any accident by placing blocks of wood under the axle trees, so that, in case it should break, the fall should not be more than about six inches. It took seventeen horses to draw the carriage, which proceeded through the notse Guards for his: Majesty's New Palace. The marble is valued at near 2,0001., and is intended for the grand stair case of the building.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY MEMORIALS. —" Mr. I3Esfs amusing Work, entitled Four Years in France,' must have left so favourable.an impression upon every reader of taste and feeling-, that the present volume will be resorted to with no ordinary expectations. His works, more than those of any living writer, are identified im►nediate'y with their author, and display all his indivi dual peculiarities of mind and disposition. They are the very portrait of a refined, highly educated and most amiable gentleman. We resort to •them with the same feeling as to our old and• even entettrining friend, Mort- TAIGNE. The present volume is full of colleg-e reminis cences, of incidents in life, of anecdotes and discursive thoughts, narrated with what we must call a classic nai vete, and affording a calm and delightful pastime. It is an excellent volume, not for killing time, but for no king • timz..fly most agreeably, and for miking it prolific of fu ture good."- Monthi g chronicle. FASHIONS FOR OCTOBER.

We are informed by a highly respectable cor respondent at Whitby, that the dinner given, to the Hon Member for Newark, last week, was altogether a very insignificant affair. Among the great body of the popu. lation, amounting to about 10,000 persons, the adVent and exit of the Hon. Gentleman pradueed no sensation what ever. From 50 to 60 persons, among whnrn were two Magistrates, were present at the dinner, having been . brought together by %Ll invitation. As the invita- tions were sent to those only who were known to be oppo nents of Mr. linsictssoN, there was, of course, great unanimity among them, but they no mnre represented the opinion of the town of Whitby on the sulkject of free trade, than our Brunswick Club (which was brought together in a similar manner) represented the opinion of the town o! . Leeds on the subject of Catholic emancipation. Of the six Magistrates of the district, two were present, as we mentioned &.ove ; the other four were absent, not because they were indifferent, but because they were opposed to Mr. SAIMER . S views. We believe that the dinner - was a very good on-, and we know that the speeches were pretty muck on a par with those with which tbe lieu. Gentle, man has Leen accustomed for so many years to the enlightened members of our rift club ; but it is per fectly ridiculous to call this CI Lfeds iffe:reyrp mniet , sion puLlie opinion, SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNAL 3. We copy from the Sheltield Paper, and from an Irish one, simultaneous and very painful evi dences of the distress which prevails among the poor working manufacturers of H u dd ers fi e ld an d Dublin. One difficulty lies on the surface of whatever attempts may be made by the benevo lent to alleviate privations resulting from want of employment, namely, that of avoiding to gene rate a permanent evil by the only means which can well be resorted to for the removal of the temporary pressure. At the Dublin meeting it was fairly enough observed by th e gentleman win) proposed a subscription for the relief of time poor creatures, amounting, it was said, to above . 9,000, who were thrown absolutely out of bread by the suspension of all demand for the silks, woollens, and cottons of Dublin, it was properly admitted by him (Mr. Moore), that donations to the unemployed were in themselves a mischief; but when the Hon. Gentleman suggested that instead of giving away the money subs cr ib e d eac h subscriber should take an equivalent fbr it in goods of the native manufacture, it seems strange that he did riot anticipate the objection made afterwards by Mr. Sheil, viz.—that to call for time production of more goods, when the essence of the evil to be remedied was a previous excess of production, would only tend to a further em barrassment of a market already glutted, and to an augmentation of the causes of distress. This then, is the dilemma with which an indulgence of the feelings of humanity seldom fails to be tended in cases of general suffering. We cannot sec our fellow -creatures starve,—while, by be stowing money, we grant a premium to idleness ; and by ordering manufactured articles, we force a production which already overflows. We grant a mouthful to the labourer for to-day, but we • prolong the inability of his regular master to re duce the stock on hand, and consequently to give out fresh work to the unfortunate weaver. The master-manufacturers of Huddersfield state, in few words, some of the obvious evils to them selves, arising from inadequate wages, they " re gret extremely that the consequence of lowering wages should be so little understood, since the proper remuneration of labour is the main spring of all operations in trade, and the lower wages be the less will be time (natu ra l) c i rcu l at i on o f : consequently retur n s an d profits the e ;° lmlebeln tY r lessened in proportion." A reduction of wages, compelled by that of the prices or manu factured goods, does unquestionably re-act in a manner the most injurious, at least for a season,upon the master-manufacturer, by diminishing the imme diate resources of the surrounding consumers ; and this will not cease until the value of money shall have risen in proportion to that of all other productions, as well as of the depreciated article in which he deals. The masters will generally, . under all circumstances, pay as high wages as the trade will bear—a fact which at once proves that the folly of combinations among workmen is not inferior (we - speak now generally) to their injustice, and that the remedy for a prevalent distress of the manufacturing interest is one hardly. .attainable by any means which individual beneficence can provide. In Dublin, and in Huddersfield, equal, rsfiell yet some appears Dublin •pealst to be iie people wouln earlyd would persuade each other, that the free tr a d e , dec, the sufirhlogl as between England and Ireland, by letting in the British manufacturer upon the has been partly the occasion of the Irish weaver's distress. If so, the British weaver ought to have gained in the same ratio. Y e t h e , too, mur murs and repro aches the free trade as be tween France and England Does, then, the French manufacturer pocket what has been lost by the other two ? No ; he says that the Eng lish free. trade principle has ruined him ! for that Lyons never before was in such misery as since Mr. Huskisson's measures. It is plain, there fore, that these classes of men have, at least in two instances out of three, mistaken the causes of their respective misfortunes. Free all those \vile seek to trade .is good for the whole trading wort' i t o ak ri e ty n t o opt i h ts er, se a i n m d ra t t l e iere m fo e r n e ibe fo rs r . the A b g o r l ej i n tt i hn d m es o tr re oy we remove obstructions who minister to commerce clo pi t i r ol a re d t e lbo , yn, ()t.: cc of profit tf mostall nba; from the paths of commerce, the greater the ial t n i - o e n a s ss is ist th ; at ai " ic , l hi t c lhe s i t ne c Inevitablyy rc the relief from commercial bondage. But the Irish Statesmen are not well grounded in many of their notions on the species of succour whiei l it would be practicable to afford the sufro l im o , classes of their countrymen. They talk of usin none but articles of Irish manufacture. Thi4 was well characterized -by Air. Winans, an Eng lishman, as " nonsense." They might as well attempt to make water swim a-top of oil, a s t e , raise the sale of indifferent Irish goods above that of superior articles from England. If th ev could succeed for a time, the Nanufactures or Ireland would share the fate of all others on which the favour ofa monopoly has been inflicted. They would remain stationary, or would decline I exce - lenee, while those of their neighbours were strue... Ong through rivalry to perfection, and the gene ral market value of Irish industry would, •aS eotu. pared with that of other countries, be in the same ratio diminished. The -gesti only sugon of real importance put forth by any speaker at the Dublin meeting was that of M r. M aoon), for some legislative and permanent institution, guar ranteeing support to the infirm and helpless poor This scheme will sooner or later be adopteo. It has often had our favourable notice ; but we cannot discuss it at present.—Times. The London University has been so success ful in the ends which it proposed, and has so tri!imphantly answered in practice the objections made to its foundation, that its distinguishing principle is not likely to be long confined to one kind of academical establishment. That charac, teristic being the union of public education with private residence or domestic superintendence, ap pears equally well adapted to a great day.sehool tbr the education of the better classes as to a Collei,loor University.
