THE DUBLIN THEAME. The Dublin Thostreet i vhich only a few years ago cost Mr. liarris the jnynepse sum of 125,0001. in its tomple tio:l, is announced b Mr. George Robins rot peremptory sale next month. The following 11 a short extract from his luminous description Mr. Robins feels 'eery confident that, in siihniitting the following observatkias, lie will not be supposed to hate too highly coloored the brilliant and interesting prospect which the possessor of this first-rate Theatre may safely contemplate. " twill a round unvarnished talc deliver," ike. ,, Sliakspeare. This is a very eligible preperty, With a view to a safe and permanent investment for capital; it comprises the Dublin Theatre Royal, with all its valuable machinery, scenery, wardrobes, and properties of every description; the whole of which are of a character that will cot ykld to either of the English Metropolitan Theatres', and possessing an ad vantage even beyond its rival Vornpeers in England, inas much as it presents a splendid and elegant structure per fectly isolated. Its exterior has long been the subject of unvaryin approbation, while the interior presents a model of perfectness well worthy of imitation. The altitude of the principal building admits of the most effective scenic operations for the stage, facilitated by the application of the most approved mechanism. The stage is extensive, the auditory is capacious, and the corridors and swoon splendid and commodious. The tout ensemble combinina in its ex ternal and internal arrang emen t every thi ng which great taste and consummate skill could accomplish; also the va luable patent, insnr:ng the exclusive right of performing dramatic representations within the city of Dublin, and possessi% a most important additional feature, that its per fornlances are not subject to the controul of a licencer he- Sides which, there is an express Act of Parliament of George the Third, restricting any minor theatre from acting Tragedy, Comedy, Opera, or Interlude, tinder a most severe penalty, and enforced by a very summary and not expensive process. This extensive property stands upon nearly one acre of land, •and in the beat situation in Dublin, near the College, in the heart of the city, arid at the point of convergence of several principal streets. The front, in Ilawkins•street, forms a handsome façade of the Roman Doric order, executed in granite stone, and extends 127 feet. The south entrance is composed of a rustic basement, in as hich there are ar cades on the extremities, and an intervening arcade, which forms the projection in front. At three sides of the theatre the most convenient ingress and egress are offered, by having the entrances to the superior parts of the auditory not only distinct, but on opposite sides to those leading to the infe rior parts of the house. The ground-rent is 6001. Irish currency, being 564/. 4s. British ; and the taxes do not exceed 1001., so that this annual expenditure would scarcely exceed one great night's receipt ; and it will be observed, as a most remarkable fact connected with theatrical history, that by means of the profit rental produced by property in cluded in the lease, it is the only theatre in the United Kingdom which may be considered rent-free. The _Me tropolitan theatres, it is known, are let at considerably more than 10,0001. yearly, and subject to an expenditure from which the Dublin theatre is exempt; it is therefore not too touch to contemplate (and at no remote period) a corres ponding rental. The patent for this Theatre Royal is granted for 21 years, (the longest period that one can be given) and may be safely calculated upon as renewable for ever, consequently equal to a freehold tenure, unless forfeited by gross misconduct. A variety of other and highly im portant advantages might be enumerated as exclusively ap pertaining to this property. It is however submitted, and with great confidence, that enough has been stated to justify Mr. Robins in calling the special attention of all those who are alive to the great profits attendant upon a theatrical property to embark in a purchase, by which, with moderate exertion, a respectable, active, and talented man cannot fail to secure a large and increasing income.

" CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 10.—I take up the pen in order to follow my plan by keeping you ac quainted with what is going on in the East ; and I will clear up a circumstance that has lately taken place here, and of which most probably your con temporaries, not having the exact means of informa tion, may mislead the public to form erroneous con jecture. I mean the cause that originated the issue of the late Hatti Sherif (Imperial Ordinance) re garding the deliverance of the 112 Russian prisoners to whom the Sultan has been pleased to grant not ouly their freedom, but at his Government expense, their passage to Odessa. The general opinion even here, was, that this Government had agreed with that of Russia, for the regular exchange of prisoners, but my having taken some pains to ascertain if really any engagement had been concluded between the two belligerents for a regular exchange of the cap tives, I was assured that no such thing has as yet taken place, but that the circumstances alluded above arose purely from Turkish gratitude, which is as follows :—A Bimbassi (Colonel in rank) was taken prisoner in the beginning of the last campaign, in the vicinity of Varna, and was extremely welt used, particularly by a Russian officer, who by sympathy allowed his escape. The Bim bassi subsequently was ordered to return to this capital and attend on the person of the Sultan, being one of h:s favourites. Some time after his b(nefactor was taken prisoner, and sent here with some other of his countrymen. The day of their embarkation for the island of Schalki, this Bim bassi, by chance, happened to be at a coffee-house by the water side, and recognised amongst the prisoners the very same officer to whom he owed his existence and freedom, and therefore a few days after he loaded a small boat with refreshments, clothes, pipes, &c. and personally carried them to the distressed officer. The scene, as I under stand, was such as to prevent both sides tittering a word for some time; the Rus sian officer lost himself in admiring the ge nerosity of fhe Mussulman ; whils►, on the other hand, the Bimbassi, feeling the happiness of a grate ful and sensible heart, lost his speech. At last the Russian broke silence by embracing the Bimbassi, who; in return, with agitated voice, told him that he was desirous to be of as much service as lie had been to him while he was in the same situation, and requested him to cheer up and rely on his friend ship. lle continued to send him supplies of provisions, &c. &c. for some time. At List the Russian officer, encouraged by the constant attention he was receiving, came to the determi tion to present to the Bimbassi a small silver cup, engraved round the brim with his own name, toge ther with those of five other officers taken in that particular time, and with a letter written in bloke!' Turkish, solicited his interference for their liberty, and found the means to send it to the Bimbassi. The honest and grateful Mussalman not compre hending the meaning of such a gift, and takirg it as an intended ii suit to his delicacy. flew in a rage. Fortunately, however, the person who was the bearer of both the letter and plate, was an European, and by explaining the real and true meaning of it, appeased the Bimbassi, who on the next day appeared before the Sultan ith the letter in one hand, and the plate in the other, and falling at his knees, acquainted him mi nutely with the circumstance, and in a suitable and becoming manner solicited of him the freedom of his henefdctor together with his five companions.. The Sultan was highly pleased to hear the narrative of LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 11, 1829. A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office this day, at one o'clock. There were present, the Duke of WELLINGTON, Mr. Secretary PEEL, Lord ABERDEEN, Lord ELLENBOROUGH, and all the other Ministers, with the exception of Earl BATIIURST and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, who are in the country. The Council were in delibera tion at the time we went to press. Despatches were received at the Foreign Office this morning, from Sir CHARLES BAGOT, our Minister at the Hague. Prince POLIGNAC, the French Ambassador, and the Marquis of BARBACENA, the Brazilian Ambassador, had a conference with Lord ABERDEEN this morning, at the Foreign Office. The French Papers of Thursday contain a paragraph, under date of Vienna, partly corro borative of the report which was given yesterday in our City article, that General DIEBITSCH, after the GRAND VIZIER had re-entered Shumla, had sent a Mr. FONTON to propose a suspen sion of arms, and even the preliminary basis of a treaty of peace. To give additional weight and probability to this circumstance, M r.FONTON had previously been the negociator in some matters relative to Russian prisoners. For our own parts we hardly think that the Russians would propose a cessation of hostilities so im mediately upon the heels of a " grand victory," —and that victory giving them no material ad vantage in point of territory or fortifications ac quired as the result of their triumph. Besides, the campaign was but just commenced in the early part of June ; and the Russian General would scarcely have proposed an armistice before he had taken Silistria. The news must there fore have been got up for some particular pur pose, and if that purpose had any reference to the English Funds, it has not answered the ima ginings of its inventive author. The Constitutionnel considers the battle gained by General DIEBiTSCII over the GRAND VIZIER of far more importance than the English papers or the French politicians have been able to perceive. Its consequences, it says, will be the necessity of new levies by the Turks, while General RoTH will be relieved from all anxiety, and the Russian line secure from all insult, now that the army of the VIZIER is beaten, dispersed, and demoralized. The fall of Silistria will be accelerated, which v‘ ill lead to that of Ghiurgevo, and perhaps Ruds chuk and Widdin. Even now General GEIS MAR is said to be planning a march upon Sophia, which, though hazardous, would greatly annoy the Turks. Indeed, we do not see, if General DIEEITSCH means to cross the Balkan, why General GEISMAR should not advance upon Sophia, and thereby distract the Turks by a diversion at once bold and characteristic of that General's enterprising spirit. The only thing which would deter Genera' GEISNIAR from this manoeuvre is the amount of force at the disposal of the Pacha of WIDDIN, who would endeavour to cut off his retreat, and by hanging on his rear would damage his supplies. But then the fortress of Widdin would be in jeopardy if the Russians have a strong force in the Vicinity of Calefat. Another strong argu ment for GEISMAR'S making the attempt, is the facility it would give to DIEBITSCII'S passage of the Balkan—and both armies could meet in the plains of Adrianople. Such a plan of campaign may be beyond the power or daring of the Russians, but it is not at all improbable—especially if they capture Silistria. Such a loss, with their recent experience in the defile of Kulutscha, would be too much even for the acknowledged firmness and gallantry of the Turks : (From► the Messager des Chambres of Wednesday.) (EXTRACT FROM THE GERMAN JOURNALS.). VIENNA, JUNE 28.—Baron de Budburg, aide-de• camp of General Diebitsch, has brought to this capital a detailed account of the battle of Kulatocha on the llth of June, and of the events which succeeded it. This Officer left the head-quarters, at Madara, on the 14th ofJunc.— Since his arrival a report has been spread here that, after three days' engagement, Count Diebitsch having learnt tbat the Grand Vizier had entered Shumla, had sent Mr. Fon ton, who had previously been the negociator in some mat ters relative to the Russian prisoners, to propose to the Turkish General a suspension of arms, and even the pre liminary basis of a treaty of peace.—Augsburgh Gazette. The Spanish Gazette of Bayonne contains the follow ing article :—" A small Spanish vessel, the Admiral Benbow, was attacked in the seas of Gibraltar (dans les eaux de Gibraltar), in 30 deg. N. latitude, and 40 deg, W. longitude, by a schooner manned by about 60 pirates; half Americans and half English, The Benbow at &tit made a vigorous defence, but being too weak to hold out long, it surrendered, The pirates, after stripping it of every thing, abandoned it, and steered towards the south east, doubtless in the hope of plundering several ships now on their voyage to the East Indies."

We have just received a copy of Captain FRANKLIN'S Travels to and from Constanti nople, the maps attached to which (the only portions of the work we have yet had time to examine) are executed with much spirit and cor rectness ; more especially the one of Constanti nople and the Bosphorus, which exhibits a close attention to even the minutest localities. From particular circumstances, this map will just now be looked to with extraordinary interest. The engraver is, Mr. SIDNEY HALL, an artist of whose Atlas we some time since had occasion to speak favourably. The line of fortifications on either side the Bosphorus, from the Sea of Marmora to the Black Sea, will greatly interest our political readers. We shall give fuller de tails respecting these volumes on Monday. The Cork Election bids fair to draw forth an extraordinary display of hot immitigable party spirit, as much so, almost, as that for Clare it self. Sir AUGUSTUS WARREN and Mr. GERARD CALLAGHAS are the two influential candidates—the one, what may be called 2. liberal Protestant, the other a determined un compromising Brunswicker. Both parties have their numerous thick and thin supporters ; but Sir AUGUSTUS WAR3EN'S, whether we regard their numbers, spirit, respectability, or talent are by far the most influential. Already, we learn, Mr. CALLAGIIAN is trembling for his supre macy, and surely not without reason, seeing that the Catholic as well as the liberal Protestant party are making strong:head against him. :He has, we suspect, done himself little good by his avowed hostility to the present Administration.

THE FLiiiDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TwELrE C :Oar. Consols opened this morning at 89i -I, with a steady market, but up to this time little business is doing. A Morning Paper thinks proper to state, that the flag of truce sent by the Russian Commander-in- Chief was only a common City report, this proves the good information it (ttains : it certainly must be aware that if any important political information takes place on the' Continent it is sent immediately by express, which was the case yesterday, and is so far confirmed by the Post-office express in this morn ing's paper. The Robert Ewars, a London line of packet ship, hqs arrived from New York, sailed on the 18th of June, two days later than the last arrivals, by which papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house of the 19th. A :Boston Paper of the 13th June states, that the expulsion of the Spaniards from Mexico is draining the country of specie. Eighty thousand dollars belonging to the expelled gentlemerr arrived at New York last Wed nesday. Large amounts have also reached New Orleans, and an English packet sailed lately from Vera Cruz, which had on board nearly a million and a half on the same account. From Matanzas we learn that his Majesty's schooner Monkey arrived at that port. The Captain states he read in the Jamaica paper a notice of the arrival in that Island of the crew of the American brig Priscilla, which was fallen in with on the 14th February, abandoned, supposed to have been taken by pirates, and all her crew murdered. Montreal papers to the 14th June state, that among the emigrants who have arrived this season, we observe a more respectable class of farmers than in former years, and most of them possess considerable property. The majority of them proceed to Upper Canada to join their friends. In the foreign marketiscarce a bargain doing as yet. TWO O'CLOCK. Consols were done in the course of the morning at 894 for the Account, since which they have re ceded to 89 at which price they remain. At present the business doing is of minor consequence, and they may be quoted for the next Account at 891. An absurd report prevails that Government is going to send four regiments to Canada; this, however, had some effect in lowering the market. We do not hear as yet of the arrival of the Ham burgh “eamer. There are no further accounts from the East, hut the well-informed give due credit to the account received by Express yesterday of the Russians offering to negociate.

Their Lordships were occupied the whole morning in hearing arguments respecting the proper construction of a lease, of no interest except to the parties concerned. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL V. CLARKE. This was an information filed by the late Solicitor- General (Sir N. Tindal), to recover from the de fendant various penalties to which he had rendered himself liable for selling goods by auction, without first obtaining a license. There was also another count in the information4eharging him with refusing or neglecting to pay the auction duty on goods he had sold, whereby he subjected himself to heavy penalties. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that the defend ant resided at Barking, in Essex. In the month of March last he published hand-bills, giving notice that he should, on such a day, " sell by hand" a quantity of household furniture. It being known that the defendant was not a licensed auc tioneer, two excise officers were sent to at tend the sale and witness the proceedings. On their arrival they found the defendant surrounded by about forty individuals, and he was in the act of putting up a lot consisting of two chairs. He asked who would give him five pounds for the lot. A person present offered four pounds, and she was de clared the purchaser. It was afterwards stated, that the officers were present, and the sale was discon tinued, upon which the officers went away, but re turned again in about an hour, when they witnessed the sale of several articles in the same manner. They then interfered, arid informed the defendant he was subjecting himself to very heavy penalties, but he said, " he had consulted his law books on the subject, that they were quite clear on the sub ject, and lie did not fear; for any man was at liberty to sell by hand, without a licence." The Commis sioners of Excise afterwards offered not to take legal proceedings against the defendant if he would take out a licence and pay the auc tion duties upon what he had already sold ; but the defendant was so positive that he was right in his construction of the law, that he refused all over tures. The Learned Counsel stated, that all sales which took place, and where public notice of any sort was given, so as to cause a number of persons to assemble and become competitors in purchasing, came clearly within the meaning of the Statute regulating Auctions, let the mode of selling be ever so fanciful or contrary to the usual practice. The Learned Judge would tell the Jury that such was the proper interpretation of the law. It was only necessary therefore for him to prove the facts to en , title him to a verdict. Excise Officers employed on the occasion proved the facts as stated by the Solicitor-General. There was no defence. The CHIEF BARON charged the Jury, who im mediately returned a verdict for the Crown. Several other Excise causes were disposed of during the morning. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, and the Duchess of SAXE WEIMAR, honoured the performance at the Italian Opera House on Thursday evening, for the benefit of Signor CURIONI, with their presence. The Princess AUGUSTA left town yesterday morning, on a visit to the Bishop of ROCHESTER, at his Palace, Bromley, Kent. Her Royal Highntss remained to dinner with his Lordship, and returned to town in the evening. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE en tertained the Duke of SUSSEX and a select party to dinner yesterday, at their residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE and the Princess SOPHIA visited the Princess AuGusrA yester day morning. Earl and Countess of BATHURST left town on Tuesday, on a visit to Lord GRENVILLE, at his seat at Dropmore. Captain BASIL. HALL'S volume of Forty Etchings, taken in North America, will be published on Monday in royal quarto, by SIDIPKIN and MAitsnALL, Stationers'-court. CORK ELECTION.—The election commenced on Tuesday. Sir AUGUSTUS WARREN was proposed by Col. HODDER and SAMUEL LANE, Esq. GERARD CAL LAGHAN Was proposed by H. B. WESTROP, Esq. as proxy for his father, and seconded by Col. LONGFIELD. Mr. CALLAGHAN addressed the electors, and was replied to triumphantly by Mr. COLTHURST, Dr. BALDWIN, and Co' 1-lonnea. The Court adjourned until )esterday. Each party is confident of success.—Dublin Morning Register, of Thursday. DRAMATIC MAGAZINE.---The first Number of this promising periodical is headed with an accurate likeness of FARREN and LISTON, as Adam Brock and Charles XII. in the well-known afterpiece of that name. - Mr. BLIGH, who arrived at the Foreign Office yeste►day, did not come from Lord STUART DE ROTHSAY, at Paris, with despatches (as stated in the Court Circular), that gentleman came direct from his father's seat, Cobham, Kent. In our account of the distribution of Uni versity prizes it should have been stated, that the young gentleman who gained the second prize in the Latin class, and also a prize in the second Greek class, is the Earl of LEICESTER, the eldest son of the Marquis TowtasHEND. As the Government security in the granting of annuities is deemed superior to all others, it is common enough to hear wishes expressed for the promulgation of the tables by which the new Annuity Act is to be into operation. In thi s A c t power i s g i ven t o ther o Treasury to receive ev er y d escr i l iti on o f Govern ment u stock h in payment for an nu iti es grante d f or lif e , or brought gt term of years. It is considered desirable by those conversant with the mechanism of dealings in our va rious Government securities, that advantage should be taken of the Annuity Act to extinguish some of the minor descriptions of them, which would at once sim plify the public accounts, and save expence in the ma nagement, by getting rid of the distinct books of transfer, and the separate offices established for the purpose. Be sides this, there is a positive loss to the holders of these minor funds who may wish to sell ; for, though they pay the sam e dividend, and of course rest on the same security as others of a large amount of capital, they are not so marketable, and do not produce so good a price . No b en efit whatever is derived from the e xi s t e n c e of so many different heads of public securities. The French have an advantage over us in this respect, their debt consisting of only three descriptions of stock..— POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. OMNIBUS.—The proprietor of the Omnibus, which has just been started, was brought before the Loan MAyoa on information, for having stood obstructing the way near the Bank for'a length of time to get passengers. The Omnibus runs from Paddington to the Bank, and has caused great annoyance to the Paddington coachmen. Martin, the officer, stated the case to the Lord Mayor. Mr. Shillibur, the owner of the vehicle, entered into some detail, and assured the Lord Mayor that he had been picked out merely from spite; his exertions to accommo date the public with a decent conveyance and civility having been attended with success. . . The LORD MAYOR observed that civility was an article most wanted among the Paddington coachmen, and his Lordship thought the exertions of the defendant to accom modate the public were praise-worthy; but all the coaches transgressed the law by standing waiting for pas sengers. He should dismiss the case, the defendant pay ing costs. THE POST-OFFICE DEPARTMENT. The Commissioners appointed to inquire into the diffe rent departments of the Post-office have, for some time, been engaged in that work, with a view to correcting any evils that may exist, and of improving the system. Among other things it has been discovered that the f►cilities given to the Army and Navy in transmitting letters has been much abused, and the following notice was issued this morning on the subject : " GENERAL POST-OFFICE, JULY 10, 1829. " The indulgence granted to soldiers and seamen in their correspondence having been greatly abused, by the parties obtaining the signatures of their Officers to letters not written by themselves, or on their own business ; and also permitting letters to be addressed to them, although they are intended for other persons; the object in both cases being to evade the legal rates of postage; lam com manded to direct, that whenever a Postmaster has reason to suspect this mal-practice, .he will charge the letters with a postage of fire shillings ; and all such letters, if refused by the parties to whom they are addressed, are to be en closed to me by the first post. (Signed) " FRANCIS FREELING, Secretary." It is understood that the abuse of this privilege of allow ing soldiers and seamen to send letters by post, at one penny postage, has been carried to a very great extent, and the Post-office revenue defrauded.
