EXETER, JULY 31. There are many beautiful scenes in the world, and crowds of them in this green and leafy land ; but there are few comparable to the " banks and braes " of the Exe, and none more striking than the outstretched landscape which is spread be fore you as you stand on the eastern side of Haldon-hill. I have heard that "the old King" was in the habit, when any one was presented to him from the west country, of asking, " Have you seen the view from Haldon, eh ?" and dull, indeed, must be the mind on which such an ob ject leaves no lasting impression. There was a horse-race on the top of Haldon, and whatever might be its merits, sure it was that the panorama about the course would abun dantly repay the toil of a ride of a few miles. On the west and north is the vast forest—now rather a desert—of Dartmoor. Bleak though it be, it is girded by magnificent granite rocks— pours forth innumerable streams—and some fine rivers, and is sprinkled over with solitary tors (the old word for mountain), like natural pyra mids, or obelisks in the ww.te. The scenery is wild and savage, set every dell bears luxurious vegetation. It makes a rugged outline to the landscape, which, on the southern and eastern side, presents as admirable a picture as the union of land and ocean ever conspired together to pro duce. Here all is cultivated beauty—a vast and varied garden—a piece of gorgeous tapestry—a bas relief of nature. One green field, fringed with foliage of a deeper green, rises over another, interspersed now and then with a patch of bril ham red, where the light and rich soil has been turned over by the ploughman. Deep in the valley flows the quiet Exe, its surface widening or narrowing according to the slopes of verdure which seems to form its banks. Pleasant towns smile on its borders, its bed diffuses itself as it reaches the ocean—then is compressed—then extended again till it " weds the everlasting sea," . which forms the southern boundary of the prospect. These are permanent charms, the transitory and the shifting are the tents and the tumults, the life„ the action at the top of the hill. Rows of carriages for the ruling few —waggons and the turf for the subject many. The equestrian au thorities arc clearing the course of stragglers— all but the straggling men and women who are clad better than the rest,—in a word, "the qua lity," whose sagacity will teach them to retreat at the appropriate time. Along the ropes are the pedestrian constables, with their blue staves— very fierce and unfavouring except when some friend or acquaintance enables them to show that they have authority, brief though it be. The contest between beautiful creatures, emu lous only to excel in strength or fleetness, is beautiful. A race-horse is one of the most graceful of created things. With what life and order, with what glory and power, he flies along the course: his eye how bright—his nostrils how distended—his muscles how developed ! All his instincts are in his speed, and if he triumph how great is his victory ! He seems to participate in the pride of his rider, and touches the ground only to spring from it anew. What marvel that such a creature should be often the object of intense affections—that he should be beloved by the Arab as a friend or brother ! Has he not trained him to gentleness and confidence, and prompt obedience ? Is he not his com panion in travel by day, and in slumber at night ? All that is docile, tractable, and submissive may be studied in his daily history. Why should such an exhibition be tainted with immorality, and this generous and attractive struggle give rise to so much of profligacy and unhappiness ? Why should money, and the enjoyment dependent on it, be staked on the success of one of these competitors ? There are six horses on the course, and five of them are to lose, and on every one of those five some one or other will have been adventuring his wealth. Was that a needful excitation ? Will men of ordinary tempers stand the trial of ill success ? The losers, for the most part, will be annoyed and distressed ; and the winners will, according to La Place's beautiful demonstration in his work " On Chances," gain far less, in propor tion, than the others must sacrifice. He who risks one of two that he possesses, adventures half his possession, and can only win what will be the third of the whole. Two persons have 100/. each ; they risk 50/. on a wager : lie who wins has 1501.; he who loses is left with 501. There is no game of chance in which the pro portion gained can be equal to the proportion lost. Something may possibly be said of the plea sures of excitement, and the need of that excite ment to encourage the breed of race-horses, and so forth. But what shall be said for that fraud and knavery which, under the very eye of the Magistrates, is allowed to exercise its abomin able calling ? Here is a line of tents, with scarlet curtains over the entrance, in which the most profligate system of pillage is carried on with daring recklessness. I leave the course, where are a string of unpaid Magistrates—the dispensers of the laws, and the protectors of the peorit; and, ten paces off, I see those illegal abominations by which audacious plunderers are allowed to rob the poor fools who are tempted to adventure. Protected and encouraged by these mighty knaves, the lesser knaves, down to the cheat who hides his pea under a thimble, make their harvests here. Our laws most pro perly suppress gaming-houses ; but here are flags slapping defiance at laws and legislators—here are invitations, in bold letters, to the hazard table—to. rouge et noir—to une, deux, trois— to every forbidden game by which the sharper can pillage his victim. One of these fellows confessed, the other day, that he had carried off nearly 5001. from his table—a more pernicious robber he than hundreds who seek mercy in vain. Yet there sit the County Magistrates— encouraging, as it were, these abominations by their presence—there arc constables to pounce on the miscalculating fool who filches a pocket handkerchief. Short-sighted, imbecile, one ! get a hazard-table—you may rob at your good pleasure !—Magistrates and officers are there to shield and to shelter you. Use a little machi nery, and your thievery shall have all the sanc tion you can desire. The swindlers there offer one chance for two. Stretch the villany a little —there is nobody to prevent you. Here are Parson-Magistrates in plenty, and members of the Society for the Suppression of Vice—they will shave the barber who cuts off a man's beard in church-service time, and ruin a wretched applewoman who shall sell a pennyworth of pip pins. Here is vice —bold, insolent, open-faced, and mighty. Will they touch it ? Not they. You shall hear these same " quality," " in the House" and out of it, talk of the immorality of the people—particularly when starving manufac turers cry out against the Corn Laws and for bread. But why should they sympathize with ambulatory sharpers ? Why not stop up th ese sluices of illegality ? It would become a wise Government instantly to reniVe from the C9lll- PRICES OF FOREIGN FUNDS THIS DAY Al' ONE O'CLOCK.

The French Papers of Wednesday contain no news but what we have already had from the German and Dutch Papers. The rapid com munication with the Continent by means of steam-boats, wonderfully facilitates the transmis sion of important political news. Indeed so much has this been experienced of late, that we have not had the first intelligence of any battle in the East of Europe from the French Papers, but always through the medium of the Berlin or Dutch. The reason is obvious. Before the ac counts can reach France they must pass through Germany and Holland, and being despatched by the steam-boats, the news reaches London, as soon, or sooner, than Paris. This is of manifest importance, not only in a political, but in a com mercial point of view. The application of steam navigation will do more towards the civilization of mankind by bringing them into more imme diate contact, than centuries wasted in political treaties and ages of legislation. Men will be come wise or satisfied by the evidence of their own eyes—and nations will throw off their pre judices, or abate their animosities, in proportion as they perceive the absurdity of the one or the folly of the other. It is the superior knowledge and hypocrisy of the few which enable them to enslave the ignorance of the mass. As nations become enlightened:they become inde pendent, and learn to respect in others that virtue which they appreciate among themselves.

We extract the following from the Austrian Observer, of the 27th July, leaving our readers to draw their own conclusions : VIENNA, JULY 26.—Extract of a letter from Egina of the 20th of June:—Mr. Achille de Rouen, French resi dent, accredited to the Government here, arrived this morning on board La Victorieuse from Toulon, where he embarked on the Ist. The Marquis of Vaburg, who has acted for a time as resident, remains as Secretary to this Mission, to which Mr. Mertrude (formerly in Patras) is to be interpreter. Mr. Dawkins, the English !resident, who went to Smyrna to wait on Mr. Gordon, and accom panied him to the Dardanelles, has just returned to this place. The Albanian Chief Silihdar Poda has just been appointed by the Porte Derven Aga, and also, as we hear, Commander of a new expedition against the Greeks on the Continent. Twenty of his companies, amounting to about 3,000 men, have taken the place of the Turks hitherto stationed at Zeitouni, who are gone to Macedonia, pro bably to reinforce the army of the Grand Vizier. These new troops have not yet passed the Sperchius. In the defiles of Mount Octa there are but few Greeks, and some appre hensions are therefore felt in Livadia of a new invasion by the enemy. There are frequent skirmishes about Thebes, which the Turks still hold. Grissiotti was vigorously attacked in his intrenchments at Aniforeti by the Turks, to whose assistance Omer Pacha of Negropont had detached a small body of cavalry to the rear of the position of the Greeks. The latter, however, defended themselves bravely, and compelled the Turks to retreat, who are said to have lost 250 men on this occasion. Vasso (the Montinegrin) is still in his entrenchments before Kastia, on the border of the plain of Athens.* All these Greek corps are not strong. Vasso may have 11 or 1,200 men ; Ypsilanti, before Thebes, 12 or 1,500 ; and Grissiotti, '7OO men. In the positions to the south of the Sperchius there may be about 2,000 men. The cavalry and some corps of in fantry have hitherto been posted about Lepanto; the former is said lately to have set out for the western provinces. The troops are in want of every thing, and their pay is several months in arrear ; they are therefore very discontented and particularly so with Augustin Capo d'lstria, who was sent by his brother, the President, as Commissioner to the Provinces of the Greek Continent, and met with no very good reception from the first, especially from Ypsilanti, who has the chief command in Eastern Greece. The troops in Western Greece are under the command of General Denzel during the absence of General Church, who is gone to Egina. Colonel Heidegger appears now resolved to leave Greece. It is said that a French Colonel, named Maugen, who came with a French expedition to the Morea, is to have the command of the regular Greek troops. The President is still at Napoli, and seems to_ wait for the termination of the election of Deputies to the National Assembly, which is soon to meet at Argos. In most places the elections are over, and in general, particularly in the Peloponnesus, they are said to have turned out to the satis faction of the President. * The Universal Gazette of Greece, of 13th June, says that the Turkish garrison of Athens, 3,000 strong, had made a sally on the Sth, and attacked Vasso's troops in the monastery of St. John (upon a mountain to the 'Firth east of Athens), hut that they were repulsed with the loss of SO men killed and wounded, and two cannon.—Not, of Austrian Observer. VIENNA, JULY 27.—Aletalliques, 99 3-16 ; Bank Shares, 1,139; in the evening, 1,137 i. If we may credit the accounts in our city article, the French Consul at Buenos Ayres, in consequence of a quarrel with the Authorities, had thought proper to demand his passports. For some days past rumours have been afloat that the French squadron at Buenos Ayres seized upon the flotilla in the harbour, and now the truth of the matter is placed beyond question, if we may believe the following particulars taken from a Morning Paper:— " It appears that during the confusion and trouble which reigned in the city, under the expectation of an attack from the Monteneros, the Government thought proper to set up a distinction between French subjects and the Bri tish and Americans, on the ground that a recognition of the Republic on the part of France had not taken place-- Thus, although the British and Americans were exempted from military service in the defence of the tity, it . was thought right to order the French residents to take up arms. This was, however, refused, and was followed by a notice from the Government that the whole of them must quit Buenos Ayres within 24 hours. The French Consul, M. Mandeville, immediately set about engaging vessels for the purpose with all possible activity. He then repaired on board a French ship of war which was in the roads, and communicated what had taken place.— In two days afterwards an expedition was sent into the inner roads in the night, cut out all the men of war that were lying there in ordinary, and burnt one vessel. The French Commander had intimated further, that he would take possession of all public property, un less the Buenos Ayres Government retracted its obnoxious order. In the confusion, one of the French ships of war hoarded and detained a merchant-vessel, taking it to be a ship of war; but she was afterwards released, and a de claration made that only public property would be made responsible for the conduct of the Government. The situation of the city of Buenos Ayres, at the date of this letter, was the most critical possible. The Monteneros were in the town, and skirmishes were taking place in va rious parts of it. Preparations were making by the troops without the town for a general attack, and the utmost consternation prevailed in every quarter." In a report from the York Assizes, inserte in our columns of to-day, will be found a curi• ous, not to say instructive, specimen of judicia ethics. It is PALEY'S favorite doctrine of ex• pediency, reduced to practice and pushed to an extremity. It seems that a prisoner, named PIL LING, who was charged with paying forged Bank of England 51. notes, and against whom there were five indictments, was desirous to plead guilty, urging as a reason for so doing, that " I wish to speak the truth as near as I can.' The Judge's reply to this was, " pleading not guilty to an indictment is not telling a false. hood in the name of God, it is not taking an oath or committing perjury, it is only denying the charge which must be proved by the prosecutor." %Ve request our reader's attention to the moral and logical peculiarities of this opinion. A man who pleads innocent to a charge, of which he is really guilty, is not, ac• cording to Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, telling a falsehood in the name of God, he is only deny ing a charge which must be proved. Now where, let us ask, lies the difference in this case ? Where lies the difference, between denying a well-founded charge and not telling a falsehood ? We protest in all sincerity we can see none.— If a lawyer, who is well-known to be one, denies that he is so, it strikes us, notwithstand ing Mr. J. LITTLEDALE'S dictum to the con trary, that he is guilty of something very like a falsehood. At any rate he is urging a " distinc tion without a difference." The other portion of the Learned Judge's dogma is equally felici tous. He exhorts a guilty criminal to deny his guilt by assuring him that in so doing he is not " taking an oath or committing perjury." Cer tainly not, neither is the man who commits a rape or a burglary, committing murder or petty lar ceny. But is he less a sinner on that account ? And is he to be consoled for his burglarious predilections by the consciousness that he has not shed the blood of his fellow creatures ? Yet this is the tendency of Mr. J. LITTLEDALE's argument, an argument which, though it may possibly hold good in law, will certainly break down in faro conscientice. A private Correspondent at Paris, under the date of Wednesday, says, a report has got about that the Emperor NICHOLAS has fallen dan gerously sick in a little village in Bessarabia. The appointment of Prince POLIGNAC to the Mi nistry is announced as certain. Ever since the arrival of the Ambassadors at Constantinople, the most contradictory reports have been put in circulation. It is now said that all negotiations are broken off (When did they really begin ?)—. an d again it is as confidently rumoured that the defeat of the GRAND VIZIER, the fall of Silis tria, and the fruitless expedition of the Capitan PACIIA. to the Black Sea, have inspired the Porte with more conciliatory senthnents . ; to which may be added the advance of the Rus sians, and the sending of troops from Odessa to Sizeboli. Which are we to believe ? The fact we think will turn out to be, that the Turks have not abated one jot of their pretension s , but pro crastinate as usual ; and that, in the mean time, the Emperor NICIIOLAS preaches moderation, while his armies pursue their conquests. It was asserted at Vienna that Rudschuk had eapitulated, and . that a considerable Russian corps had advanced from Rachova towards Sophia. Nothing more likely.

She sailed on the Ist of June from the outer roads, at which time the civil war %vas continuing, and no prospect of any accommo dation being entered into with the contending fac tions. This vessel brings the important intelligence that the French Consul had had a quarrel with the existing Government, demanded and obtained his passport, and had left Buenos Ayres. A part of the French fleet had subsequently arrived there, and in the course of the night they took, burnt, or other wise destroyed the entire flotilla of the Republican Navy, in the inner and outward roads. The Cam den and Osborne packets were both at Buenos Ayres, and the former may be hourly expected home. TORBAY, AUG. 5.--Sailed the Lady Flora, Fayrer, for Calcutta; Union, Brent, for Gallipoli. ABERDEEN, AUG. 4,-Wind N.E.—Since last night we have had a great flood in the river, and many ves.els broke from the moorings, but have yet received no damage at low tide; the water has been as high as the highest stream tides. Great quan tities of hay, some cattle, sheep, and various other articles, have come down the river and gone to sea. LIVERPOOL, AUG. s.—Arrived the Diana, Wal ker, from Trieste; James, --, from Riga; Francis and Mary, Grundy, from Quebec. The Pioneer, Manbury, for Virginia, and Juliana Yates, --, for Pillau, got on Pluckingt on Bank this morning, and are discharging. The Pyramus, bound to Jamaica, has been got off, and gone into dock to discharge. The Robert Kerr, bound to Eastport, has discharged part of her cargo, and is expected to be got off to-morrow morning. The Darius, Hunter, sailed from the Mauritius on the Sth February for London, and has not since been heard of. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CIT Y, TIVELVE o' CLocx. Accounts received from Falmouth this morning bring the important intelligence, by the James Noble, which sailed from Buenos Ayres the Ist of June, that in consequence of a quarrel of the French Con sul with the Government of Buenos Ayres he de manded his passport. The French fleet subsequently arrived and destroyed the whole of the Buenos Ayres flotilla, which was lying in the Roads. The civil war continues, and there was no prospect of an accommodation. Accounts from Lisbon, via France, of the 15th of July, state that the discontent in the above capital daily inc►eases, caused by the extreme misery latterly. Don Miguel was walking in the Quay of Belem, when he was surrounded by a mob, calling out—" You are destroying Portugal, and we shall soon perish with hunger." The state of the prisoners is beyond description. The un fortunate Colonel Pinto, and Don Joseph de Souza, sent a petition to Don Miguel, soliciting him to have them put to death, as their torture and bitter con- finement surpassed every cruelty. Orders have been sent to Oporto to try sixteen Portuguese. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off yesterday, 88i 89 for the Account; but soon after the market receded to 88g "„i, sup posed to be owing to the express from Paris stat ing that the negociations between the Russians and the Turks were broken off. Procrastination is gene rally the order of the day with the Turks, which the Russians are aware of, and will not grant an armis tice but on solid grounds. We may soon expect to hear of another desperate battle. We have very few arrivals this morning in the Foreign Market; nothing doing as yet, and prices nominal. Three per Cent.

TWO O'CLOCK. Consols have been fluctuating during the morning between 88/ and 88i for the account, and at pre sent may be quoted at 88/ 4, with very little doing. It is said that after the express left Paris, the French Three per Cents. fell 20 cents. Private letters from Holland state that the Bank of the Netherlands have reduced their interest on discount of bills, from 2f to 2 per cent. Information was received at Amsterdam from Hamburg on Saturday, of an improvement there of the Foreign Funds. It appears that our City Bankers have also ex perienced a great stagnation in business, as they have balances in hand to a very considerable amount, which at present they cannot employ, owing to good bills being so scarce. We have conversed with a gentleman who has been resident at St. Petersburgh for many years, and also has within a few days arrived in London he asserts that the Russian population, and parti cularly the Nobility, begin to be heartily sick of the war.

STAGE-COACH ACCIDENT.—On Wednes day morning the Regulator Bristol coach had scarcely left the office, when one of the hind wheels came off, by which the coach was upset. The coachman was thrown off, but not materially hurt; but Captain WyNnowx, a passenger, bad his skull dreadfully fractured. He was immediately taken to the Saracen's Head Inn ; he lin gered in excessive pain for five hours, and then expired. Captain WTYNDOWE was on his way to join his wife, pre vious to his going to his regiment. A lady who was a passenger had her thigh severely fractured, but is likely to do well. A youth received a severe contusion on the head, and several other persons were much injured. Only one passenger, a sailor, was capable of continuing his journey. THE HARVEST.—For the state of the Crops here we can speak in the most satisfactory manner. The Wheat will be an excellent crop; a few fields of it on rich high ground about Cork, were cut down within the last two days. Oats and Barley also look extremely well, and several fields of Beer have fallen under the sickle. Pota toes are in great abundance, and will be very cheap ; and the aftergrass has a most luxurious appearance. If the present fair weather—which is occasionally interrupted by smart showers principally at night—should continue, the blessings of PROVIDENCE will be showered down on us, in a bountiful Harvest. We have conversed with a gen tleman who has just returned from France, and he states that the crops in that country have been very generally lodged, and in some places materially injured by the hea v y rains.... Cork Conaitution. • THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. Foreign Wheat and Oats continue to arrive in abundance. English Corn comes very short. The changeable state of the weather causes the prices of Wheat to be supported, but every attempt to make the market higher is unsuc cessful. Barley, Beans, and Pease, remain dull as last quoted. The continued liberation of foreign Oars, by paying the present duty, keeps the market full of feed Gan, and such sells very heavily, but stout Oats are scarce, and meet a free demand at last quotations.

PLANTATION SUGARS.—The good and fine sorts appear to be the only descriptions for which there is any anima tion at present, and as they are rather scarce full prices are obtained for them, but the low and middling qualities, of which the supply is very abundant, are in very limit, d demand, and lower prices have again been accepted ie many instances this week, which has caused more business to be done than there otherwise would have been : a p.m cel of Bat badoes was brought forward by public sale on Tuesday, and went off rather freely, the fine sorts at full prices. A public sale of St. Lucia Sugar is advertised for to-morrow. FOREIGN SUGARS.—Very little has been done this week, a small parcel of white Havannahs only having been sold at full prices; the large sale of yellow Havannahs ad vertised last week takes place on Tuesday next. REFINED SUGARS.—This market continues very flat, and the business doing at the present time is very limited, and prices, notwithstanding the bare state of the market for low and middling goods, are again a shade lower; in the Grocery sorts there is no alteration this week. The transactions in Crashed have been very trifling, and at rather a reduction from the quotations of last week. COFFEE has again been brought forwarl by public sale in rather large parcels, and as the greater part consisted of the ordinary and unclean qualities, the quotations were nut sustained by from 2s. to 3s. ; the descriptions offered consisted of Jamaica, Dominica, Demerara, and Berbice, and altogether of about 1260 casks and 697 bags. A parcel of St. Domingo and La Guayra also was offered, ' but taken in with scarcely any offer•. . . Faum—There is scarcely any thing doing at present ; the quotations remain almost without alteration. Rum.-The market is more active, at the following quotations :-Jamaica, 28 to 30 per cent. over proof, 3s. ; ditto, 32 to 33 per cent. 3s. Id. to 3s. 4d. ; ditto, fine, 3s. 6d. to 3s. 9d. per gallon.

The arrivals of Wool from Van Diemen's Land and New South %Vales have been very large this year. By public sales yesterday and on Wed nesday about 500 bales of Wool, from the places men tioned, were offered, and realised from sd. to Is. 3d. per lb. according to quality. English Wool remains at almost the lowest prices ever given. Orts.-The market for common Oils is improving.

LINCOLN, AUGUST 5. The harvest in Lincolnshire is usually behind that of most countries, and this year it is said to be par ticularly backward. One consequence is that the grain has not been in a state to be as much injured by the heavy rains as it is in other quarters. The wheat is said to be touched with smut, but, judging from the appearance of the crops on the ground, it looks exceeding strong and flourishing. The oat crop is most abundant, and 1 am told it is in the best condition in every direction. I subjoin a list of the market prices in this city on the last market day, and, compared with London, you will perceive they are very moderate. s. d. Beef, per lb 0 6 s. (I.

In the county of Worcester the wheat crop is looking extremely well, and has suffered very little from the rain, and in most places the harvest, which has just, commenced, will be an abundant one. The Barley crop will also be good; but the Oats and Beans are very scanty in quantity, and the latter will also fail in their quality. The crop of apples and pears will, in this county, be abundant, and the pas tures look extremely well. Game of every species is very plentiful. The covies of partridges are large, and the birds appear to be very strong on the wing. In this county the agricultural labourers are paid eight shillings a week; and they at present make grievous complaint of the farmers engaging Irish labourers to get is the harvest. However, this is not very surprising, as the Irish laboure rs w ill work for eight-pence a day; and it is said that, in some instances, they have, rather than not b e em ployed, even consented to work without any wages, receiving nothing . from their employer b ut a di nner every day, which is here furnished to all men em ployed in harvest work.
