SatuMay, have since spread ex retu**,tad it .ii now estimated that in the w hole 12 or 14 house's in that line have stopped payment. One of the failures has been stated to amount to 250,0001., but this is without doubt an exaggeration; though, taken collectively, an immense loss must be sustained by the connexions of the various houses which have failed on this occasion. There is no reason, however, as we understand, for inferring an unsound state of trade generally from these failures, inasmuch as it was well known in the city that the individuals were for the most part conducting their business on a ruinous system, which had long pro duced a serious injury to their credit among the more wary and cautious merchants. It seems to have been the practice, for example, for a long time past, in those particular branches of trade, to resort to fictitious sales for the sake of creating a large paper circulation wherewith to support their various operations. Thus a quantity of cloth was sold from one (teller to another, who purchased in return an equal amount in wool, but making out a regular bill of sale for each article to double its real value. Bills were then drawn by each against the transaction, and money raised on them on the best terms the discount market would afford, which, as the parties contrived to maintain a respectable state of credit out of their own circle, were seldom very unfavourable. Suspicions of the unsoundness of the system were from time to time entertained, but it was not, we believe, fully understood, till an investigation took place into the affairs of a great establishment which failed about three months ago, in the course of which the creditors, who devoted some weeks to the inquiry, fully exposed this and other irregular practices of the same kind, which had been carrying on for a long time previously. It is not surprising that few of the houses that resorted to them could keep their ground after such dis closures ; and as the nature of the transactions made them dependent on each other for mutual support, it is as little to be wondered at that the whole of them should fall together. It need not be doubted that these events will tend so bring about that reform in our system of trade wl;iell is so much to ba desired, and which circumstances so imperiously call for. A letter re ceived this morning from - Glasgow, a place which ills been gradually undergoing this sort of purifica tion for some time past, speaks of the change, but per haps with rather too much confidence, as already ac complished in that great manufacturing district. The writer, who is a gentleman retired from business, remarks, speaking of Glasgow, that " commerce and manufactures are proceeding iii a course that ought to be abundantly satisfactory, with very par tial diminution its to extent, and with a remunera tion we cannot too soon learn to consider adequate. Nothing but that which has been manifestly wrong in principle or practice has been lopped off. All seem to be acting on a system of cautious and cal culating yet persevering enterprise. I can learn no instances of failure, though so many have occurred here, the causes of which cannot be traced to wild speculation or most ill-judged confidence, upheld by paper in various shapes." These few sentences form, in fact, the true description of the great failures that have occurred perhaps since the war, as well au of the state to which trade ought quietly to subside, now that the English merchant has a com petition to sustain with the whole of the Continent. The distress at Paisley and other places, accord ing to the writer of the letter above quoted, is not to be ascribed so much to the diminution in the quantity of the fabrics made there, as to the changes causesi, by which, even now, improvements are con stantly making. As an instance of this, it is men tioned, that all varieties of figured muslins are now being produced, wrought by a machine instead of the female band, Needles with two points are now pre pared, the eye in the centre acting as the finger, twenty of which, directed by one person only, work the pattern simultaneously the whole width of the muslin. The distress of the working classes is not of course the less to be deplored an ticeount of the ingenuity of the - machinery here described; but as regards the extension of our trade, it is the price perhaps we must now necessarily pay for it.—Times. fOILLIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Constitationnel of Sunday, Aug. 30 ) EXTRACT FROM A ERIYATE LETTER. "BUCHAREST, AUG. 11.—The news from Con stantinople, which is of the beginning of this month, informs us that the disasters of the Turkish army, and the progress of the Russians, have caused a great sensation in the capital, " Anxiety is impressed on all countenances, and every thing indicates the despair of the inhabitants. Every body cries out treachery! The people crowd the streets and run in all directions, without any certain object; the old people do not quit the mosques; the great men are packing up their most valuable effects to convey them to Asia, particularly to Smyrna. Soldiers of all arms jostle each other in the narrow streets. In short, the noise arid the tumult presents a truly alarming scene. A strict police has however been able to preserve tranillity to this moment. Si nce the last fire, which was caused, however, by the carelessness of some sol diers, the authorities are doubly vigilant. All men able to bear arms assemble at day-break at reude7- vous; they are exercised, arid receive sabres, mus kets, battle-axes, &c. " The Sultan seems to intend to put himself at the head of his army, and the reinforcements that come from Asia are immediately sent forward. There are frequent communication; between the Divan and the English Ambassador, who despatches couriers every day; and it is said that the Porte has offered to England important cessions of territory, particularly of islands in the Archipelago, espeeiaily of Candia, if it would interfere by arms in its con test with Russia. " The Turks still behave well to the Christians and the Jews. Contrary to the Oriental custom, the great men meet frequently, and deliberate on the measures to be taken in case of need. As the wounded pride of the Mussulmans may lead them to the greatest excesses, it is thought that the Rus sians will take great precautions before they strike a death-blow against this empire. " The Turks are not unacquainted with the catas trophe of Moscow, and know that by sacrificing that ancient capital, the Russians stopped the progress of their enemies." (From the Messager des Chambres of Sunday.) SECOND EDITION. (Extract from the Augsburgh Gazette of Aug. 26.) (RY EXPRESS.) " VIENNA, AUG. 22.—An express, just arrive( from Constantinople, which left that city on the the 14th, brings intelligence that the Porte, terrified at the progress of the Russian army, has resolved to consent to negotiations for peace. " The Reis-Effendi has intimated to Mr. Gordon and Count Guilleminot, that the resolution of the Sultan was to accept the treaty of the Gth of July, 1827, and to negoctate on the bases of the Conven tion of Akermann, also to make great commercial concessions to Russia. His Plenipotentiaries had not set out for the Russian head-quarters when the express left, but were to do so immedinely after. Hostilities may be considered as suspended at this moment. The head-quarters of General Diebitsch were bellevedat Constantinople to be at Kirk-kilissa. " ANCONA., AUG. 17.—A. French courier from Paris, who has embarked here from Corfu,br ourdit the news of the change in the French Ministry. 'At the same time a report was spread that lie carried orders for the French troops to evacuate the Moi ea• t h at l i e goes first to Corfu, t o d e li ver t o th e Lord . High Comm!ssioner instructions f. urn t h e English Cabinet, u hich are said to be to supply th e F renc h troops it itli ship; if they wanted them. It was eve, added, that the troops were to be embarked in the French fleet, and landed in me of need at Constantinople. (BY EXPRESS.) 0 C O NSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 10.—The Sultan, see ng the danger increasing, has at length accepted ..he treaty of the 6th July. The news of the pas sage of the Balkan, and of the Russian victories in Asia, have led to this result. The capital is tranquil, and it is thought that General Muffling, who is ar rived, will be listened to more favourably. " BUCHAREST, AUG. 7.—General Geismar, after dispersing the reinforcement sent to the Pacha of Widdin, has retired to the left bank of the Danube, doubtless not to give the Servians, who think of re volting against the Porte on the approach of the Russians, any inducement to take such a step, the Emperor having given his Generals the strictest orders to avoid any thing that might engage the peaceable inhabitants of Servia in the present war. " Fresh troops from the interior of Russia have reached the Danube, and have taken the road to Jenibazar." GERMAN PAPERS. FROM THE MAINE, AUG. 20.—There are re ports of the accession of the Grand Duchy of Baden to the commercial treaty between Bavaria and Wur temberg on one part, and Prussia and Hesse Darm stadt on the other. It does not appear that any of the states of the central German union have already taken steps to join Prussia and Bavaria, as has been reported. It is said the conventions which have been negotiated, and perhaps already concluded with Prussia, related only to the transit of goods through the respective states. On this, as on other occa sions, the liberal conduct of the Prussian Govern ment towards German confederates is said to have been manifested in the most honourable manner. FRANKFORT, AUG. 21.—Great alarm was caused here yesterday by the receipt of an express from Amsterdam, by a great house, which brought word that Russian stock had fallen 3 per cent. at London, and the English funds per cent. This caused the prices here, which were already given way, to fall still more. However, the well-known house is ex erting itself to prevent a further decline, and as it has great resources at command, it will probably succeed. The fair which is beginning promises wen. Large quantities of English goods are said to be al ready sold.—)Nuremberg Correspondent, Aug. 24. SWITZERLAND, AUG. 22.—1 n the 23(1 and 24th sittings of the Diet, the cantons of Schafhausen, St. Gall, and Argovia, considering the military capi tulation concluded by several cantons with Naples, solemnly entered their protest against all the conse quences that might hence arise by the enrolling of foreigners. With respect to the remonstrances against the introduction of the new military penal code in the regiments in the French service, it was resolved not to accede to the desire of the petitio,t ers for the delay of the introduction of the code, their petition being founded on inadmissible and even incorrect grounds ; and it was also determined to intimate the displeasure of the Diet with those among the petitioners who had acted in a manner unsuitable to relations with the authorities of the confederation and the governments. The presiding canton was also directed to answer the note of the Ambassador in a manner conformable to this reso lution.—FranAfott Papers, Aug. 25. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS Bank stock 3 per Cent.

M o rning... 4i r?i,n4tes after 4. I Evening —59 minutes after 4. ttet"04,,p..61 - - LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1829. Frankfort Papers of the 26th of Aug., and the Nuremburg Correspondent of the 24th, have been received this morniilg, Their contents relate principally to Greece, and are favourable to the PREStDP:TT. The conduct of the Eng lish Government with regard to Greece is not relished by the ruling Powers, ho look with more favour upon the Russians and French t--, iNiusicir, Aye. 2I, —By the kindness of M. Eynard we have received the following extracts of letters from Greece, of the 28th May and 29th June;— " Colonel fleydegger, who had need of repose for the recovery of his health, has obtained the King's permission to leave Greece. The President writes on this occasion " , The good and excellent Colonel Heydegger is really under the necessity of returning to his country, in order to take care of his health, which every day becomes worse, I {Five not the courage to ask him to stay longer. When he has recovered I hope his attachment Gill bring him back again. In a few days I to reece shall send w the children of Mantis and Sachturi to Munich, and on this occasion I shall offer to his Majesty, the King of Bavaria, the tribute of my gratitude for all the benefits which he has heaped upon this country. " ' The two Ambassadors must have arrived at Con stantinople. We expect, with confidence, the result of their endeavours, but on our side we shall fulfil our duties constantly relying upon Providence, which will not forsake us. Strong in this persuasion, I shall do every t liing in my power to assemble at length a national Con gress. The provinces which had been invited to send their Representatives have answered that they gave me the rights of citizenship with their full Powers. I have expressed my gratitude to them, but have a second time asked them to send their Representatives, and I hope they will meet at Argos about the end of June. (We know from the Courrier de Smyrne that they are nominated, and that most of them have arrived at Argos.) " ' The declarations which Maishal Maison and his of ficers will make at Paris respecting the internal condition of Greece, and the pains which the Government takes to introduce amelioration by degrees will, I hope, counter balance all the falsehoods which people have thought fit to spread respecting the state of this country, and the atti tude of its Government. The Marshal, who has been led by the interest he feels in us to make himself fully ac quainted with our sufferings, will successfully plead our cause to his generous Sovereign.' " " The President is worthy of general confidence and esteem ; but perhaps every body cannot appreciate him as he merits, because his cold and repulsive manner does not prejudice people in his favour at first. But all those who know more of him perceive him to be a truly virtuous man. " Hitherto the English have shown themselves far from friendly in their relations with the Greeks. The Consul executes with rigour the orders which his Government sends him, very different in this respect to the Russian and French Agents, who do their utmost to be useful to the Greeks, and to facilitate the operations of the President.— The surrender of Missolonghi, which was a day of rejoicing for all the Greeks and all foreigners, seemed to counteract the views of the English Agents." ST. PETERSBURGH, AUG. 12.—Mohammed Mustapha, Prince of the Afghans, arrived here on the 7th from Orenburg. The Afghans are a warlike Nomade people on the frontiers of British India, and are able to bring about 20,000 men into the field. Since 1826 the country has been governed by two brothers, sons of Timur Khan, who died May 7, 1793. One of them, Jar Mohammed, re sides at Peischawer, and the other, Purdel Khan, at Caudabar. The two brothers are known in India as distinguished warriors. A third brother, Dost Mohammed Khan, who resided at Cabul, was expelled in 1826 by these two brothers. The Afghans, as well as their neigh bour, the Rajah of Lahore, who lately bad two Ambas sadors at St. Petersburgh, are known to be friends to Russia. BRUNSWICK, Auc. 19.—Great sensation has been caused here by the memorial of the Commis•ioners re specting the differences between Hanover and Brunswick, which was first made public by the South German Jour nal. It is much to be regretted, that this unsea'onable publication throws difficulties in the way of the highly de sirable amicable arrangement of which some hopes are entertained, and things may now come to that extremity which the most powerful Members of the Confederation have been striving for years to prevent. The contents of the French Papers add nothing ,o our news from the theatre of war or Constan tinople. Letters from Jassy of the 4th ult. state that be sanatary measures adopted by the authorities lad had the effect of checking the progress of le plague. Gibraltar Papers to the 14th ult. have been received. The exchange was 48/ We have received, through a private channel, New York Papers to the 6th August. Their contents are not politically important. No ac- counts had been received at Havannah, from the Mexican expedition, up to the 17th July, so that it had been twelve (lays at sea, or at least fro►n Havannah, without any intelligence of its movements being known. '1 he following are a few extracts : (From the New York Morning Courier of Aug. 5.) NEW ORLEANS, Jur.v 11.—The wet weather, notieed in our list, continued until Wednesday, since when it has become dry and warm. The Mississippi is falling slowly, and it has now fell ten feet lower than at this time last year. Our market generally continues dull, and but little variation in prices during the week. The city, for the time of the year, is unusually healthy, n otwithstanding the determination of many to make it out otherwise. COTTON.-Arrived since our last, from the interior and Mississippi, 335 bales ; Mobile, 305 ; North Alabama and Tennessee, 67 ; across Lake Ponchartrain, 37 ; Pen sacola, 23 ; together 817 bales. Cleared in the same time, for Liverpool, 4,990 ; New York, 197 ; Boston, 104; in all 5,291 bales—making a decrease in stock, including all on ship board, not cleared yesterday morning, of 4,474 bales. The sales of the week have been quite limited, and at a decline on former rates, particularly in N. Alabama and Tennessee. There is considerable shipping on owners' account; which gives the appearance of real transactions. Louisiana and Mississippi are becoming scarce, and not in good demand. We quote the following sales:—Ordinary, 7a 8 ; middling, 8-)1 a ; fair, 9a9i ;. good fair, 91. a 10/ ; good and fine, 104 a 11. RICHMOND, JULY 31.—WHEAT AND FLOUR.—Wheat is coming in freely, principally under contracts with the millers. The quality is fair, and it has been got in in good condition. Present price 90 cents for red, 95 for white. In City Mills Flour there is nothing doing. The mills are all at work, but for want of buyers the millers are obliged to ship on their own account. Very little new Flour has yet come from the country, and what has come in has gone off very slowly. Last sales 5 dollars. Ton A cco. —The purchase three weeks since of 1,500 lihds. 11 dollars per 100, on account of a northern house, for the French market, excited considerable interest, and advanced the price of all qualities suited to the markets of that country fully one dollar per 100. Since that period, though foreign advises continued unfavourab:e, the mar ket has remained firm until a few days ago, when the prices began to decline, particularly for fine qualities. Yesterday about 100 lihds. were inspected. The public sales were as follows :—Refused, 3 dollars 25 a 4.25 ; common passed, 4.10 a 4.75; middling, 5 a 5.75; good to fine, 6 a 9.25. Prices generally low for quality, com pared with previous sales. PETERSBURc.H, J ULY 31.—THE MA RKET.—SaIes of Wheat have been made during the week at 90 a 97 cents per bushel. We have received New Orleans papers to the 10th July, inclusive. They are still silent on the subject of the yellow fever, though we know that it exists there, or did on the Ist of the month, for such is the information communicated to us by a gentleman direct from that city. The cases, however, were not numerous, and it was hoped the disease would not become prevalent. At the same time it was admitted that its prevalence would not be surprising, as the low state of the liver had prevented the usual washing of the streets by opening its embank ments, and the consequence was, an unusual accumulation of filth. Tat ttowraalT DISCOVERY.--W. Gammeyer, engraver, of Albany, has discovered or invented a kind of ink, of a quality which has long been desired, and the use of which on bank notes, will prevent the frauds so much practised, of extracting numbers and inserting others. Dr. L. B. Beck has made experiments with it, and he says that no chemical agent with which he is acquainted, will discharge the ink without destroying the texture of the paper. There can be no doubt that this ink will get into genet al ildeertiser A New ()drams paper of the Bth July estimates the number of Spanish emigrants to that city, in consequence of the late law of Mexico expelling them from the country, at more than 2,000. Many of them are affluent, but others are distressingly poor. The ~astern Argus of the 24th July, says, that the contractors on the Delaware division of the Pennsylvania Canal are pushing the work on with great spirit, and from the completion, d numberof rn , nen)Ployetl, there is every judging prospect f its ts speedy o It appears by a notice in last night's Gazette, that after the 30th day of this instant Septem ber the interest on Exchequer Bills will be re duced one farthing, when new Bills will be issued, bearing an interest of lid. per day for every 1001. We are glad to perceive by an Advertisement in another part of our Paper, that a Company is about being established fur supplying Brighton with that first necessary of life—pure and whole some water. The wonder is, that such an indis pensable thing should have been so long ne glected in a town of such thriving importance as Brighton, frequented by the world of fashion, and inhabited by people of rank, wealth, and public spirit. Our wonder is increased by the consideration, that in a place of so much pro perty there should have been no adequate sup ply of water in case of fire ; but this want will in future be supplied by the excellent arrange ments of the New Company, who promise not only to bring an abundance of pure water, but to supply enough for the accommodation of all at a very moderate charge. The advantages which this uNdertaking holds out to subscribers are so ma nifest as to require no commendation. To the lordly and spirited proprietors of houses in that favourite place, the success of any plan having for its object the improvement of the town, must be particularly satisfactory. The situation of Brighton is exceedingly favourable for an easy I supply of water to any part of the town, and to any part of the highest houses, for the rising ground to the north affords peculiar facilities. A special Meeting will, we understand, be convened at Brighton on Friday, the 11th inst., for the Election of a Board of Directors. The capital of the Company is to be 30,000/., in shares of 100/. each. If the Company succeed in their expectations, the value of houses in Brighton must be materially improved. Sir RUFANE DONKIN has just published an answer (in the form of a letter to the publisher of the Quarterly Review), to an attack that lately appeared in that Journal, on his Theory re specting the probable termination of the Niger. This answer is characterized by much adroit and ready sarcasm. It is also satisfactory in its line of argument, and proves by irrefragable demon stration, that in noticing his book, the Reviewer has done gross injustice to the spirit and tendency of Sir RUFANE DONKIN'S Theory. The Gal lant General, it seems, is not only made to say, that which he did not say, and never even dreamed of ; but is actually condemned on the authority of the two BEECHEY'S, when on re ferring to those travellers, their arguments so far from being averse to, are found to be wholly in Favour of Sir R. DONKIN'S arguments. This, to say the least of it, is very unworthy the high reputation of a Quarterly Reviewer, and is alto gether out of place in a work which professes to guide on the purest principles the literary and moral taste of England. But in the Gallant General the critic has met with his match. If he has erred, be has been made to pay the full penalty of his error, and if he has unintentionally misrepresented facts, misquoted authorities, and misunderstood theories, Sir RUFANE has given him an opportunity of cor recting himself, and returning in his future re marks to that candid line of argument, which should be the first and dearest boast of a Re viewer. One point in this critic's observations we cannot refrain from noticing. It is singularly discreditable to his candour. He has condemned Sir RUFANE on the authority of his maps ; when the Gallant General himself has expressly said that they were not meant to be correct, but simply to furnish forth a slight idea of the Theor: he would wish to demonstrate !

Yesterday was an interesting day to the admirers of aquatics residing in Vauxhall, South Lambeth, Kenning ton, &c , it being the annual contest among the Vauxhall watermen for various prizes. On this occasion a new wherry was given by Mr. T. Baylis, of the George and Dragon, Vauxhall, and in addition to which about 20 so vereigns were subscribed by the inhabitants of the vicinity, thus making several very handsome prizes worth competi tion. The following were the men who contended for the prizes, all of whom belonged to Vauxhall Stairs : S. Leonard and R. Lewis S. Avill and W. Brumwell Pink. A. Hallam and W. Winter Purple. H. Jones and R. Atkins Green. G. Bartlett and G. Rippen Yellow. R. Leonard and R. Croker White. G. Brumwell and G. Groves Scarlet. J. Baker, jun., and G.

Purple and Green won the first heat, and Scarlet and Yellow the second. The winners of the first and second heats then rowed for the grand heat, and came in as follows :—Green first, Scarlet second, Purple third, and Yellow fourth. Green received the new boat, and about 201. was distributed among the others. MR.

Extract of a letter from the Frontiers of Hungary, August 5 :—lt was reported here that the Russian army was only 24 miles from Adrianople, where the greatest consternation prevailed; but we have received letters from the above town which do not confirm this report, and state that every thing was in movement to defend the defiles of Strandja, a branch of the Balkan, which the Russian army must pass to arrive in the Sandjar, and it was not believed at Adrianople that the enemy would hazard the passage of their defiles, where a few hundred men could prevent the passage of an army, as it is known that in these mountains corps of Spahis are sta tioned to defend them, and their cavalry are mounted with horses accustomed to climb the ravines, where the most expert horses of the Cossacks must use the greatest precaution in advancing. It is reported that 20,000 Greeks and Armenians have received orders to work at the fortifications before Constanti nople. Accounts from Hamburg state that the Russian Government have freighted 20 Danish ships, 30 English, and eight French, to carry provisions and ammunition to the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean. We have no arrivals this morning of the least im port, not even a single ship letter, consequently there is a very great dearth of information. Consols, which left off yesterday at 89 for the Account, opened at the same price. Since which they have been done at 89i and 88i for money. This day being the anniversary of the fire of Lon don the Royal Exchange will be closed till one o'clock. It is also a holiday at the Bank; but the Stock Exchange and the Foreign Market are open. No great speculations are going forward as yet. The next accounts from Constantinople are ex pected to be of great importance. In the Foreign market scarcely a bargain doing at present.

TWO O'CLOCK. Owing to the absence of intelligence the Consol market has remained stationary during the whole of the morning at 89k, alternately buyers and sellers, with little or nothing doing; and for money 88i-, buyers. The City Capitalist, who is the chief spirit of the market, being now absent on a tour to Paris, it is not expected that any speculations of importance will take place until his return. The Foreign market is as dull as that of the British. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for Account, 89k. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. There are again good arrivals of foreign Corn, but not much English. The quantity of Flour is fair. The trade for Wheat to-day is heavy, most of the New samples left on Monday are so damp as to be nearly unsaleable, good Old Wheat in consequence is no cheaper to-day. Barley, Beaus, and Pease, are unaltered. Good heavy Oats main tain their prices, but in other sorts there is very little do ing. The Flour trade has become very heavy at our last quotations. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats. I Flour. English Irish - - 800 Foreign brls, The Earl of COVENTRY has left town for his seat at Croome. We understand from good authority that the independent borough of Carrickfergus, in the county 'Antrim, mean to contest the representation of that borough at the next general election, and that Mr. LAWLESS has been encouraged to come forward as the candidate. We also understand that the friends of civil and religious liberty in London have determined to support Mr. LAW LESS in the contest. The recent departure of an illustrious an nuitant has given occasion or an infinite deal of gossip among the few loungers who yet frequent the Saloons of the West. The plea of bad health being abandoned as un tenable, three other causes are assigned fur the Princely emigration—the first, that it is his Highness's intention to renew his boasage in a certain Imperial quarter, where, if report speaks true, it has already been rejected, but the field is supposed to be now more open by the demise of a redoubted Chamberlain, the late unoculus inter caws of an Italian establishment ; the second, that it is preliminary to the avowal of a left-handed marriage with a fascinating German vocalist ; the third, that it proceeds from motives of economy, as the original lies angusta Domi is sup posed to warrant a reduction of expenditure during a Continental sojourn, which would not be looked upon with a favourable eye in this country. —Morning Paper. The enormous incomes received by the Soli citors for the different Public Boards, in the shape of Bills of Costs, have latterly excited much observation ; and the case of the Solicitor for the Post Of f ice, whose salary was almost nominal, but whose emoluments amounted to two or three thousand a year, has been much dwelt upon.— This case, bad as it confessedly is, is yet a trifle to the abuses of a similar nature lately prevalent in Ireland.— We speak from direct personal cognizance of the fact, when we say that the first Bill of Costs received by a former solicitor to tha Irish Excise amounted, after taxation, to the almost incredible stun of twenty.seven thousand pounds ! It is true that the Solicitor in question has been displaced, and a successor appointed with:a fixed salary, but not before the individual alluded to had realized an enor . , mous fortune, on which he now lives splendidly and Iran ; quilly, and laughs at the Reform, which, he says, came a i day too late. —Morning Chronicle, POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DO) BOW-STREET. Two young men of doubtful appearance vle.riek charged with attempting to steal a piece of handkerchiefs, which they were looking at uffill pretence of purchasing, at the shop of Mr. Pa" 12, Russell-street, Covent-garden. One of then', named Jones, drew the handkerchiefs from another article he was looking at on the floor, vo l i" the other, named Wright, attempted to lift it oil under his apron with his foot. A cons t a ble called in and the prisoners given in custody. constable' bad offered a much lower price for the handkerchieil, but when they were searched Wright had sixpeace and Jones had no money. Jones, in defence, said that he intended leariug. deposit if he saw a handkerchief which suited WO , for which purpose he intended borrowing the sic pence from Wright.—They were remanded ti Tuesday. :KO' COURT-MARTIAL UPON CAPT. DIC. SON, R.N.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY—(SIXTH DAY.) I The Court again assembled this morn in g at the use d hour. It is thought the case for the prosecution will clod to-morrow (thiS . day), when an adjournment will 141/1 place till Monday, to give Captain Dickenson an opport e ; nity to prepare his defence, and it is supposed he will bins' in less than two days. The Court now proceeded to enquire into the 6th 1 111 j 7th charges. That the refitting of the Genoa for leAviog Navarin was unjustifiably slow, and the same slacknetiq prevailed on her way to Malta. That the Genoa's mas t was suffered to go by the board for want of being secured. The JUDGE-ADVOCATE requested Sir E. Codringtoo to state to the Court what information he could as to the 6th and 7th charges. Sir E. CODRINGTON--My opinion is that the Goat has not suffered so much as other ships of the English line' At daylight in the morning of the 21st of October, e ° looking round the fleet with my glass to observe the ceo' tion of the various ships and their exertions in refitting' appeared to me that the Genoa was more slack than O r other; there appeared a want of activity in sec urin g the, masts and fitting the rigging ; whilst I was looking st be f ; with anxiety to see how she got on, I observed the 00.4.- mast, about eight o'clock in the morning , to go ove rhce" o I did not see any measures adopted to prevent such 1t event ; to the best of my recollection the mizen to e had not been struck. r ? By the PRESIDENT—What was the state of the wet'ea, Sir EDWARD-There was no swell , the wind was 00,71: land. It was the beginning of a severe gale. I ant persuaded the strength of the wind was th e cause of t' mizen mast going overboard. n ea The ADVOCATE-GENERAI,-.-Did you send the ...- assistance, Sir Edward ? Sir E. CODRINGTON-I did. I begged Capt. Omins eel f would go to the quarterdeck and desire Captain Curia so, any other officer on deck, to make a signal to the Ges , that she would send an officer and watch of the shiP e company to assist her, and notwithstanding that assistai e she was the last ship reported to me ready to quiti.t,„o harbour. The next, or some subsequent day , the Aly,..'",t and the Genoa came up with the Asia , and seeing tr,-11 the Genoa had the means of using all her plain sa ils, he' i upon her foremast and mainmast, by way of as certsie in i, I her condition in this respect, I made a signal to make s„i possible sail, in consequence of which she made addition' sail, and ran a-head of the Asia without the least diffic°4 ; Considering, therefore, it was no injury to the sh i p of e ra geer which retarded her progress, but that it a rose fn: j the same slackness which I observed throughout, I orde r '', her by signal to make the best of her way to Malta. kn e the Asia arriving there, I found her at anchor , sud a%e was reported to me to have arrived the day before.- - ( o f numerous extracts of the log were read, corroborati ve Sir Edward's evidence.) By Captain INGLEFIELD - Will Sir Edward Codtieg; ton state to the Court, whether the signals he made to o;,i Genoa were obeyed as far as the means of that ship neui permit? Sir EDWARD - They were obeyed imme diate ic Captain GORDON - Did you find any fault otli ei '. l o with Captain Dickenson verbally, or otherwise, reepec ti r the slackness of the Genoa, either in her refittal Or , 0 ) , passage to Malta? Sir EDWARD—I do not think I except in the manner which I have already deposed toile , Cross-examined by Captain DrcxElasow—l think at r first of your examination this morning, which is not it serted in the minutes, you stated that, in your public 0 * spatches with an account of the battle , yon said the Gei'iot was not injured so much as the other ships ; was not t.di your statement? sir : E. CODRINGTON-I did not with the account of the battle; I think I wro te to ty Admiralty to that effect after our arrival at Malta. 0 1, What was the amount of the return of the wounded on board the Asia ?—The list was st affpro du. Captain 03111ANEY being called was requested to 0 to the Court what he knew of the 6th and 7th charg e k stated as follows. On the morning of the 24th of Ca lled e(!°: . as I was going from the Albion to the A sia, board the Genoa as soon as the people had had 031:0 breakfast. The ship seemed to be in great confusion.iti, soon as I got on board the Asia, I was taken to the tbl i miral in his cabin, and I told him it appeared to Ins the Genoa would not be ready for some time, and ! iir , gested to him that it might expedite the Genoa's eq—'ol ment, if he would order . an officer and a watcbrosr,:o either of the large frigates to assist her. He replied, je to Captain Curzon, and tell him to make a signal to Glasgow to that effect." Which I did. I cannot et., if there was any unjustifiable tardiness or not in w equipment.

On the following morning signal w as res, tbt, the Genoa to make all possible sail to proceed itesoA port of Malta rendezvous. Shortly after the f tbel passed the Admiral and Albion , before the close of day. Upon the Albion's arrival at Malta , we :Veer— that the Genoa had arrived on the day before. o refr That the Genoa's mizen mast was suffered to go du board was the next part of the charge, on the day t h the battle. Capt. Ommaney was unable to spea k part of the charge. u ,as PRESIDENT-Do you know that the squadron b e it tarried sailing in consequence of the Genoa ne t _ ,„ v ii ready ? Captain Ommaney — l ha d n o mea ns of k to, whether she was ready for sea as soon as the Ala°. Asia. To a question from Captain Elliott as to w hethe r t Genoa was in such a state on the morning he ' v i e : board her, he would satisfy him that she was equa l "; $ l, own ship, he said it would be impossible to give an 8 b•I' without he knew the comparative capabilities of th eel / company, ;but he was certainly of opinion that the was much better regulated than the Genoa. leas ryas board the Asia, and in that vessel every thing r_l o.° as /i I i on with regularity and silence, while on board the ueoi there was a great deal of noise, and he was o f opinild the affairs of a ship can be more speedily executed in s i The Hon.
