FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Moniteur of Friday.) PARIS, JULY 9.—The German journals do ,not bring us any interesting news from the theatre of war. However, we must soon receive important particulars of the consequences of the victory at Pravadi, which was so glorious to the Russian army. Among the causes which have always troubled the Turkish empire, and increased its weakness, must be reckoned the divisions among the several Pachas, and the jealousies which they inspire. It is stated that the reason which has hindered the Pacha of pt from sending troops into Armenia, is not on y the plague, but the manifest intention of the Pacha of St. Jean d'Acre to oppose the passage of the Egyptian troops. (From the Journal du Commerce of July 10.) PARIS, JULY 9.—lt is said that the Directors of the Bank have adjourned indefinitely their decision on the reduction of the rate of discount. The Journal du Havre contains the following article:— " We learn by a sure channel, from one of our correspondents in the Azores themselves, that on the 22d of June several ships, among which was the English schooner the Exquisite, succeeded in land ing at Terceira the distinguished persons who had embarked at I - lavre and England, to reinforce the Constitutional party in that faithful island. On the receipt of this news St. Michael revolted against the Miguelite garrison, even in the presence of the ships forming the blockading squadron, and the standard of Donna Maria is probably now hoisted at that important place." (From the Constitutionnel.) CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—SITTINGS OF JULY 9. The discussion of the project of a law for opening an eventual credit for fifty-two millions (francs), for the service of 1829, was the Order of the Day. General LAFAYETTE professed to leave to other orators the care of entering into details that were more suitable to them than to him. He did not see, in the great quarrel of the East, any thing more t the importance of an intermediate State in what is called the balance of power in Europe.— There was a vast and powerful league, which de sired to command and brutalize the human species. It had oppressed Italy, devastated the Peninsula, and had disturbed other States. Its chief seat is Vienna, and Don Miguel its ideal type. England has pretended to set up another system, but it was only to lure States to their ruin. It was the busi ness of France to place herself at the head of civili zation—her glory, her interest, and her ambition re quired it ; but to fulfil this noble destiny, it was ne cessary that the Government should determine not to fear either a nation represented or a nation arm ed ; and renouncing old connections, it should say to foreign Powers, " After God, it is to the French people that I am indebted for being placed above your influence and beyond your pretensions," The Greeks took up arms to free themselves from the tribute they paid to the Turks—to reconstruct their Government, and to govern themselves. The Protocol reimposed the tribute, left a large part of Greece out of its dominions, and to govern the re mainder, they were to seek a Prince, who would be the Hospodar both to the East and the West, in whom the Greeks would only see a vassal to the Porte, and an additional tribute to pay. This might suit the views of England and Russia, but not France, who must desire to have a powerful na tion as a barrier to the ambition both of the con queror and the merchants. On this subject, expla nations were required. In condemning the con duct of the French Ministry in giving up Galotti, the General asked if Don Miguel came with the de cision of a Court in his hands against the Portuguese refugees—would they believe a man who, in the Palace of the King, murdered with his own hand, the Marquis of Loule—would they believe Don Miguel and his Judges ? General SEBASTIAN! complained that the old Ministry had bequeathed the country a miserable in heritance of political faults, and to repair them was the first duty of its predecessors. The uneasiness he had twice manifested in the Chamber of Depu ties relative to Greece, was well founded. The Minister of Foreign Affairs would say, that the Pro tocol signed at London was tine necessary conse quence of the Treaty signed at London, which re served the right of sovereignty in chief to the Porte, and the right of tribute. That Treaty was set on foot by England, who wished to take from Russia every pretext for war, and to weaken as little as possible the Ottoman empire. Russia, by consent ing to the Treaty, secured the neutrality of England and France, and continued in Greece a diversion that was useful to its projects on the Danube. In the Protocol there was nothing but obscurity and incoherence; and it seemed as if it had been drawn up to render any treaty impossible. The Turks said that only the sword could take away what the sword had given; and the battle of Navarin and the occupation of the Morea were the only argu ments they understood. If the Contracting Powers wished for the liberation of Greece, they would have facilitated the conquest of the land to the south of the line mentioned in the Protocol, and would have negociated a long truce with the Porte, which m ight have been done. But we cannot believe in the sincerity of these Powers. At London and Paris the tergiversations had been the same, and political principles had been proclaimed and aban doned. An English army was sent to Portugal, to protect the rights of DOII Pedro and his daughter; it soon went back to England, abandoning the men who had supported the cause, and even shooting at them at Terceira, where they went to seek an asy lum, in a corner of the earth still faithful to the So vereign, whose cause had not been embraced by the Cabinet of St. James's. PORTALIS replied to General Sebastiani, and complained of his being obliged to keep silence on subjects on which they, knowing nothing, would talk at hazard. The protocol, he said, if it exist ed, contained the secret instructions given to the Plenipotentiaries sent to Turkey, which he could not explain. He contended that they would be found in strict conformity with the Treaty of the 6th of July. If the Porte should persist in refusing conciliatory propositions, that would call a new series of events into existence. There was no com parison between an independent Prince and an Hos• podar, who was the temporary creature of the Sultan. After a long discussion, in which M. Mar tignac and M. B. Constant, with other Deputies, took part, the further discussion of the question of credit was adjourned at six o'clock.

CAMP BEFORE STLISTRIA, JUNE 6.—On the 4th June, at ten in the evening, the Turks, with un exampled boldness, attacked our centre, and passed the second parallel, as well as the battery No. 33, on our left wing. Under favour of the night they approached to our first entrenchments, when they suddenly commenced a brisk fire, and attempted to advance towards the centre of our batteries, but would have been surrounded by our troops under General Goteschkow, had they not been repulsed by a battalion of the 37th Regiment, Their attack upon our left wing was equally unsuccessful ; the second Turkish column fled precipitately, and escaped into the fortress before it could be over taken. Our loss consists of 20 killed, and 86 wounded. The Turks left 40 dead behind. De serters state their loss at 9,000 men. The inhabitants and the garrison of Sili‘tria la ment their fate, as they are no where safe from our balls; they have lost all courage since we have ruined their entrenchments. FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, JUNE 12.—1 n the night of the .sth the Turks made another sally from Silistria, in which they surprised the Russian en trenchments in the dark, and caused great injury to the besiegers, but were at last repulsed by them, and compelled to retreat into the fortress. The loss of the Russians is said to be 150 killed, and 300 wounded; that of the Turks is not known. The wounded are now conveyed by water from Calarash to Odessa, on account of the fevers pre vailing in the hospitals of Wallachia. In Bucharest no change has lately taken place, but it is unfortu nately confirmed that the disease has broken out at Gallacz. The military hospitals at Brailow are said ro have been almost cleared by the contagion. The merchants at Bucharest are called upon to pay 225,000 piastres, which sum is required by the Divan to establish new hospitals. The Boyards are to pay for their part two millions of piastres, in order to maintain for five months 2,000 waggons for the army. However, they will not agree to this, and say that they will furnish the waggons them selves, which, at least, will not cost them any ready money.—Hamburgh Papers, July 7. UTRECIIT, JULY 7.—We have received the following accounts from Belize, in the Bay of Hon duras, dated July 1 :—Last Sunday, the Dutch frigate, P alas, arrived here from Omoa, having on board Major-General Verveer, his Majesty's Ambas sador to the States of Central America. We under stand that his Excellency intends to exert himself to put an end to the civil war which desolates that unhappy country, though we greatly fear that his endeavours will be in vain.—Dutch Papers, July 11.

The Russians are fortifying Rachova with great diligence. FRONTIERS OF WALLACIIIA, JUNE 16.- 2 1 he great victory obtained by Count Diebitsch over the Grand Vizier was made public at Bucharest on the 14th. On the 13th, according to official reports, there were sixteen new cases of disease in the city, of these eight are since dead. A physician, sent by the President, to make inquiries at Brailow, Gal lacz, Hobay...a, and other places where there are Russian hospitals, reports that the same disorder prevails there as at Bucharest. A remittance of 72,000 ducats and 2,000,000 of piastres, in silver, was lately received at Bucharest for the army. Silistrid is bombarded with great vigour, and one of the suburbs is reduced to ashes; but Achmet Pacha will not hear of a surrender. The sally on the 4th of June caused the Russians great loss, as it was made in the night, and unex pected by the army. Thus the brave young Gen. Suchlen and Lieut.-Colonel Baron Rzensy were said to have been killed.* Gen. Kipelew sent to the Governor of Ghiurgevo a written summons to sur render, to which the Pacha returned no answer. The General at length asked for one, when be let him know that the contents of his letter needed no reply. VThe official account, which we have given in the Allgerneine Zeitung, does not mention the deaths of these officers. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 11. - Since the las post such large supplies of provisions of all kinds have been brought in under the protec tion of the fleet, that no want is felt. The Pachas of Natolia send heavily laden coasting ves- sels, which get as near as possible to the Bos phorus, and take advantage of the time when the fleet is at sea to run into the channel. The Rus- sian frigate, the Raphael, of 48 guns and 380 men, arrived here on the 29th ult. It is a very fine fri gate, and surrendered without resistance, but the Captain was a Greek. On the other hand, a most valiant resistance was made by a Russian brig which escaped, and by a corvette which suffered severely, and afterwards sunk near Iniada. On the 7th, when the Capitan Pacha put to sea, a cannonade was heard the whole day from Kara bavnu, and there is no doubt that a naval battle took place; we are impatient to hear the events : the capture of a Russian steam-boat is reported. VIENNA, JULY I.—Metalliques, 98/; Bank Shares, I,lo64.—Allgemeine Zeitung, July 6. BERLIN, JULY 6.—The Journal of St. Peters burgh of the 28th of June, gives an account of an attack made by the Turks to make themselves mas ters of a position occupied by the Russians opposite the entrenched camp of Wargerob, which the enemy occupied in the inaccessible defiles on the bank of the Danube in Little Wallachia. The Turks, 2,000 strong, were repulsed in their attacks, and then charged with the bayonet; they lost 200. men. The same Journal says, "At the same time with this report, his Majesty received the news of the dis graceful surrender of the Raphael frigate, com manded by Capt. Stroinekoff, which struck .to the enemy without any resistance whatever."—Prussian State Gazette, July 6. ODESSA, JUNE 25.—The news that General Diebitsch has sent M. Fonton to the Grand Vizier is confirmed. Some think he is commissioned to propose terms of peace, Count Diebitsch having full powers from the Emperor to negotiate. Others, however, say that he is only sent to summon Shumla to surrender. MAESTRICIIT, JULY 9.—We are happy to say M. de Broukere is re-elected Member of the Cham ber of Deputies.—Brussels Papers July 11. DEATH OF THOMAS SHELTON, ESQ. On F riday night, THOMAS SHELTON, Esq., Coroner for the city of London and borough of Southwark, and upwards of forty years Clerk of Arraigns at the Old Bailey, expired at his residence in the city. Mr. SHELTON had been in a declining state of health for some time past ; and until the last few days was unremitting in attention to the duties of Coroner, and only ten days since presided at an inquest in the city. We understand he was in his 82d year. The situations Mr. SHELTON held were both very lucrative; and we have heard he has died possessed of considerable property. The vacant places are in the gift of the Corporation of London. Mr. SHELTON was univer sally respected by a large circle of friends. NORTH MAIL.—At the Ross-shire Meet ing on Friday last, it was resolved to send a copy of Sir GEORGE MACKENZIE'S letter to the Co nvener, on the sub ject of the conveyance of the North Mail by the Highland Road, to the Poet-office Department in London, with an earnest request that the plan contained in it should be adopted with such modification as might seem to be neces sary in practice. It was at the same time recommended that the Burghs should send separate memorials. The county of Inverness has also stirred in the matter, and we think it is highly probable that the plan will be adopted. It has been sufficiently proved that communication by the Highland road is as little likely to be impeded by snow as the coast road, by which the mail is now transmitted. — Inverness Courier. THE WEATHER.—We have had a good deal of rain since our last, more perhaps than has fallen during the whole of the summer, which will prove highly advantageous to the farmer, excepting were engaged in sheep-shearing, an operation which is now in full progress. On Friday week, the village of Grantown was visited by a tremendous thunder storm, in consequence of which seve ral panes if glass were broken throughout the village. Hail-stones also fell of an extraordinary size. The storm was very local in its operation, for at Dava, only six miles distance, there was no rain.--Inverness Courier. GROUSE.—The reports from the moors this season are favourable for the sportsman. The grouse having met with no interruption during the period of in cubation, piornise to be in fine condition by the 12th of August, and to have fewer cheepers a mongst them than has has been the case for many years p d t. in the moors The covi!s a•Yeoge from eight to twelve in each,the lower range of the Grampia ns they we re never se en op so numerous.

It appears by German Papers received this morning, that letters have been received at Ber lin, from the theatre of war, which represent the late battle near Shumla much the same as the Russian Official Bulletins. The defeat and dis persioa of the Turks are said to have been most complete. These letters are still further confirmed by an account of a Prussian Officer who was present at the battle, and who has since returned to Berlin, where he related to the King of PRUSSIA many interesting and im portant particulars of the battle. From this officer's statement, after making every reason able allowance for his partiality for the Russians, it would really appear that the Turks have suffered a most fatal overthrow, the ultimate consequences of which cannot at present be foreseen. But a very small part of the GRAND VIZIER'S army succeeded in regaining the fortress of Shumla, and these in a most deplorable condition. As far as the eye could reach, the field was covered with the wrecks of the enemy's army. Imme diately after the battle, Shumla, in which there remained but a feeble garrison, was outflanked, and the Russian army in full march to the Balkan, taking the direction of Aidos and Bourgas, where it will be supported by the Russians at Sizeboli, amounting it is said to 10,000 men. The Turkish army, though admitted to possess an enthusiastic contempt of danger, is yet wanting in presence of mind and reflection, or as the poet has it—discretion—which is the ‘4 better part of valour." In fact the absence of discre tion is the very consequence of the blind zeal which hurries the Turk on to battle—and to destruction. The Russian officer says, that the GRAND VIZIER was deceived by the false reports industriously circulated by General DIEBITSCH of the strength of his army before Silistria, amounting only to about 20,000 men—a force so small as to induce the GRAND VIZIER at once to invest Pravadi. The total ignorance of the VIZIER on a point of such essential im portance is accounted for by the circumstance that Count DIEBITSCH, through the agency of his Cossacks, intercepted all the despatches between the GRAND VIZIER and the Governor of Silistria. This, and the prompt junction with General ROTH, had in fact decided the fate of the GRAND VIZIER before a shot was fired, and served to secure the retreat of Count DIEBITSCH, should such be necessary. The Turks did not even find out their mistake when they saw the Russians in their rear, as for merly stated by DIEBITSCH, they had only a few regiments, sen b t ut do fa w n n cy a il Ti vision to attack them. In this preliminary attack they cut to pieces a regiment of Russian infantry which they surrounded. Such was the impe tuosity of the Turks, that it appears the 12,000 or 15,000, sent in the first instance against ►e Russians, fought with such heroic bravery that they almost defeated the Russian army, until a battery of twelve-pounders thinned their ranks by grape shot. The Russian officer was himself with this battery, and was an eye-witness of the gallant bearing of the Turks. After the defeat of the first division of the Turks, the main body was found advantageously posted on an eminence where a most severe con test was expected, but the regular regiments having been thrown into disorder, they caused such confusion as to render the generalship of the GRAND VIZIER unavailing. He could do nothing :—and a total rout was the consequence. It is said that he ordered his artillery to be fired on the fugitives with grape shot. The confusion was indescribable. The VIZIER reached Shumla with only 600 horse, and that fortress is now closely invested, and Silistria is near its fall. Such is the detail of the Prussian Officer : BERLIN, Junk's 3.—Letters from the theatre of war re present the events near Shumla in a manner perfectly in accordance with the Russian official bulletins. The defeat of the Turkish army was so general, and the destruction so complete, that old soldiers do not remember a similar victory. The plan of General Count Diebitach, though the execution of it required great efforts, is generally ac knowledged to have been admirable. He led the Russian army between the enemy's army and their entrenched camp before Shumla. But a very small part of the Turkish troops, and those in the most wretched condition, succeeded in finding their way back to the fortress. As far as the eye could reach, the field was covered with the wrecks of the enemy's army. In Shumla itself there is but a small garrison, and the battle is universally consi dered as extremely important. Already, on the se cond day after the battle, Shumla was almost wholly outflanked, and the Russian army in full march to the Balkan. It advanced in the direction of Aidos and Bourrt. where it may be supported by 10,000 men that have been landed at Sizeboli. The beet spirit ani mates the Russian soldiers, and they fight with admirable bravery. The Turkish army (though the Turks when ordered to attack, endeavour to lose all sense of danger in the most furious courage) wants presence of mind and re flection, and their condition is considered throughout miserable. The situation of Silistria was considered in the middle of June to be such that it would not be able to make expected. a e prs e tr c acted resistance, and its fall may therefore be shortly Major Staff Von Rutzeustein, of the Prussian General Staff, who arrived here on the 28th June, was present at the battle near Shumla on the 11th June. He left the camp before Silistria a day earlier than General Die bitsch, and arrived at head-quarters in time to be present At the great battle. The account which he bas g iven to the King, a dd s man y i ns t ruc ti ng p ar ti c ulars to th e official details. General Diebitsch it seems had, by industriously circu lating hilse reports, made the Grand Vizier believe that he had not above 20,000 men before Silistria, and this chiefly induced him to make an attempt upon Pravadi. General Diebitsch also succeeded by employing the inde fatigably active Cossacks in capturing all the despatches sent by the Grand Vizier, respecting his own strength and his designs. The punctual junction with General Roth, and the entire interruption of the Grand Vizier's line of communication with Silistria, had so far decided the fate of the Turks beforehand, as at all events the Russians would have been able to retreat unmolested. The ground was advantageous to the Turks, as they were posted on a high plateau, from which they commanded all the sur rounding country; but instead of confining themselves to the defensive, fancying they had only some regiments opposed to them, they came down to attack them. In this attack they succeeded in surrounding and cutting to pieces the Murow Regiment of Infantry. The rein forcements sent to support it were defeated, and the battle seemed to take an unfavourable turn, when the brave Major-General Arnoldi, with a battery of 12-pounders, advanced and commenced a destructive fire: of grape-shot within the distance of 500 feet. Major Staff was with this battery, which was so exposed, that a bold attack of cavalry by the Turks might have been fatal. General Diebitsch was at first at a loss to conceive why the Grand Vizier, whose force was so positively stated at above 40,000 men, sent only 12,000 or 15,000 to meet him ; but-after these were defeated, the remainder of the enemy's army was found posted in regular squares on the eminence. Here a severe contest was to be expected, but the regular regiments, which had been thrown into disorder, caused such confusion, that the Grand Vizier could do nothing. It is thought that he ordered the fugitives to be fired upon with grape-shot; for all the Turkish cannon were dis charged on the eminence, by which some of their own powder magazines were blown up. The Turkish army then fled in a confusion impossible to be described. The Grand Vizier had only 600 horse together, with which he happily reached Shumla by a circuitous route. That place is now closely invested. FR ANY FORT, JULY 6.—Exchange on London—Two months, 1481. I its Serene Highness the Grand Duke of BADEN arrived in town on Saturday night, and was this morning presented to his Majesty at Windsor, by Lord ABERDEEN, Secretary o State for Foreign Affairs. Several of the other Cabinet Ministers were also present. It is re ported that the visit of his Serene Highness to this country is connected with the affairs of Greece. A King's Messenger arrived at the Foreign Office late last night, from St. Petersburgh, with despatches from Lord HEYTESBURY, our Am bassador to the Russian Court. Despatches were also received at the Foreign Office this morning from Lord STUART DE ROTHSAY at Paris, and from Sir CHARLES BAGOT, at the Hague. Considerable discussion took place in the French Chamber of Deputies, on the vote of credit for 52,000,000 of francs, as well as on the Protocol of London ; but we have no space for comment. The debate on the Budget being closed on Wednesday, the whole was voted by a majority of 131, there being 226 for it and 95 against it. We have for some time contended against the dismal notions of those saturnine politicians, who assert that commerce is at a discount, agriculture paralysed, and England in the last stage of de. crepitude. We have thought it barely possible, though not probable, that such hypochondriacal Journalists might have objects of their own to answer ; that in announcing the ruin of their country, they might fancy that they were an nouncing their own prophetic and Burke-like sa gacity; and that consequently they might be some what premature in their opinions. But there is no arguing against facts ; and, with anguished hearts, we at length confess that the hour of our recantation has arrived. The truth—the bitter truth must out : England is on the very verge of destruction I Does the reader ask for proofs of this assertion ? We give them to him in the words of the Morning Journal, which discreet Paper has divided them into three heads, and put them forth with a grave majesty worthy of the occa sion. First, says this temperate and much-beloved periodical, " we have arrived in the middle of July, and as yet we have had no summer. The hay rots in our meadows, and the wheat-crop is little better than dried grass." Can the discrimin ating reader doubt after this that England is on the verge of ruin ? That a gracious and benevolent Providence, indignant at our having let the Papists into Parliament—notwithstandin g we have made all the ato n e men t in our power by keeping Mr. O'CONNELL out—has turn e d our wheat -crop into dried grass, as a manifestation of hi s will that England henceforth should be blotted out from among the nations of the earth ? We t hi n k not ; the very manner in which such manifestation has been made, is decisive. The second proof advanced by our cotem poraryis the following. Mark how it rises preceding one, in ar gumen t a ti ve an d aboveplilo l philosophical topTiical dignity ! " The very potatoe is ashamed to look up at the clouds. The straw berries are sick." Sublime announcements of Eng l an d's ruin ! The potatoes aware, no doubt, of the for thcomin g annihilation of th eir native so il, are eactuallyashamed to look u p at t h e c l ou d s . They foresee the gathering elements of destruction i n the sky, and turn with Hibernian bashfulness to earth. The strawberries are sick for the same r eason • t These tender-h ear t e d an d pa t r iotic vegetables smart for England's unworthiness in their bowels. They see that as a nation she is undone ; and a cholera morbus is the con- sequence! The third of our cotemporary's proofs is, if possible, still more lofty, dignified, and decisive than the two former ones. " The raspberries," says he, " smack of soot and water; the melons, like the clouds, are blue and unsavoury, and even the cauliflowers resemble more the dingy wig of Sir JAMES ScARLETE, than the candes cent locks of Lord ELDON !" Passing by the Journalist's definition of a good cauliflower, that it should resemble Lord ELDoN's white hairs ; and of a salubrious cloud that it should be savoury (or in vulgar parlance, that it should stink) ; we come to the proof of our country's destruction, contained in the soot and water, and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL ' S wig. These, we conceive, are quite conclusive on the point—the former especially, being a manifestation of national decay, worthy in every respect of divinity. Extracts will be found in another column from Hamburgh, Dutch, German, and Brussels Papers. Several sallies have taken place from Silistria, but unfavourably to the Turks. It appears that the Sir Edward Banks steam packet, from Hamburg!), for the safety of which some apprehensions were entertained, had a stormy passage of it. She left Hamburgh on Saturday morning, and arrived at Cuxhaven at 3 P. M. ; it then blew a hard gale from the west. She an chored for the night, and weighed on Sunday morning early, and put to sea with a strong wind at W. N.W.; towards evening it increased to a gale, and at midnight it blew harder. At 2A. M. the gale still increasing from the westward, she put back for Cuxhaven, and anchored about noon on Monday, where she remained until Thursday morning at four o'clock, when, it having mode rated, she again put to sea, and arrived safe and sound in the Thames on Saturday last. Being nearly a week beyond her time she of course brings no news. To-day we expect the other steam-packet, with the Hamburgh Reporter up to Friday evening last, when some additional news may be received from the theatre of war. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off at on Saturday, 891 for the account, with scarce a bargain doing as yet. The speculators are waiting the arrival of an Express from Paris with die result of the new French financial affairs, which, it is expected, will have some effect on our market. ----- From a Philadelphia Paper of the 19th June, at the North and South American Coffee-house :--- INCREASE OF THE TARIFF.—We must remind our commercial readers that after the 30th of the present month, June, additional duties will b e l ev i e d on some imported goods. All manufactures of Wool, of which Wool is a component part, will be charged with a duty of 50 per cent. On unmanufactured Hemp the duty will be, on the Ist July, 55 dollars a ton; and on the Ist July, 1831, it will be 60 dollars a ton. Cotton bagging will be increased to five cents per square yard. In the duty on unmanufactured -Flax additions to be made of five dollars per annum till the duty shall amount to 60 dollars per ton.

Quebec Papers have also been received to the 14th June, but they are void of interest. They write from Bucharest of the 17th June that the fall of Silistria is soon expected, and that Gene ral Diebitsch, after having dispersed the army of the Grand Vizier, will leave a reinforcement before that fortress, and proceed with the rest to invest Shumla. TWO O'CLOCK. Consols have continued the whole of the morning at 89f to 1 for the account, and 891 f for next time, with little or no business doing. The Hamburgh and Dutch steamers have not as yet arrived. By the Dutch Mail received this morning, the prices of the Foreign' Funds in Amsterdam comes higher. Although we have had so much rain about London, we understand from persons who have arrived from distant parts of the country, that the rain has been only partial, and they give a favourable description at present of the crops. Up to the present hour, we do not hear of any express from Paris. The Foreign Market is in a state of complete stagnation.

Ilealey this morning to the Court, for the pur- The pose of altering the minutes, to The MASTER of the ROLLS inquired at what pe - goo, riod the case had been heard, and upon being in- le a formed in the course of the last term, his Honour ter: observed that he would entertain no such motion. are At the hearing of the case it was the duty of Coun- ri( sel to be prepared with the minutes of the order ' nom they intended to take. alvt Mr. MUNRO observed, that the present minutes not were not made in a cause but upon petition. Var The MASTER of the ROLLS stated, that made the case still worse. The practice into which Counsel, " had got must be put a stop to. The Court was -- asked for an order, certain minutes were drawn up, and then Counsel came and occupied the time of the --. Court, by asking for the variation of those minutes, Mr. Mr. MUNRO and Mr. PASSMORE were proceeding -- to address the Court, when The MASTER of the Rotas, with some warmth, -- observed that he would entertain no such applies. Ate tion, he would make no alteration whatever in the -- minutes as they at present stood, arid his Honour c P .*: desired the Registrar to call the next case. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. PENFOLD v. COPELAND. This action► was brought by the brother and exv tutor of a Mr. Penfold, deceased, to recover from the defendant, an Attorney of this Court, the sum of 181. The claim arose from the following facts :—The late Mr. Penfold was trustee of a certain Charity, and employed the defendant to present a petition to the, Court of Chancery. He afterwards wished to employ another attorney, and applied to the de fendant for the papers relating to the cause. The defendant gave up the papers on receiving the , amount of his bill of costs, and undertaking at the same time, that if, on the bill being taxed by the Master, any of the charges should be disallowed, be would refund the money. The Master disallowed 181., the defendant refused to pay it, and this action was brought to recover it. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, after the cause had occupied a considerable time, objected that no re port of the taxation had been obtained from the Master, and that therefore the taxation was not complete. Lord TENTERDEN considered the objection fatal, and directed the plaintiff to be nonsuited. After two other trials of no public interest, the Court proceeded to dispose of the undefended causes. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.) These Sessions commenced this morning. CONSTRUCTION OF THE COURT. Since the last Sessions the Court has undergone considerable alterations (improvements we suppose they will be called), but if all the ingenuity of moo had been called forth to make the place more in convenient than was previously, it could not have been more successful. Counsel learned in the law are no longer allowed to sit together, there being no less than seven different seats (or styes) for them ; and were it not for the wig and gown, we should almost have been led to suppose some of the L ear ned Gentlemen had been " placed on their trial," the bar where the prisoners stand being placed exactly in the centre of some of the seats appropriated to Counsel, whilst on each side sits a gentleman w ith a wig, in a little box just sufficient to hold one, as if placed there for the safe custody of the prisoners. In short, the whole appearance of the Court pre' sents as complete a specimen of confusion as Ws have ever witnessed. Mr. James Shoolbred, au extensive linen-drapero residing in Tottenham-court-road, was charged with assaulting a gentleman named Puckett, a lace-mane' facturer, in Goswell-street-road. The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. RETURN OF GERARD CALLAGHAN. (From the Cork Mercantile Chronicle of Friday.) Mr. Gerard Callaghan was returned last evening to serve in Parliament for this City, and the bells of St. Ann rang a merry peal, and the faction sneered at our people, and our good Tken retired to their homes, grieved, but not dishonoured. It has been generally asked why the contest ter' minated so early ? The answer is as follows :—Ob' jections were made by Mr. Callaghan's agents to almost every freeholder that was brought forward on the popular side. One of the objections was ad' mitted by the Assessor, and the admission disfraw chised at one sweep several hundreds of unpurchased and unpurchaseable electors ! We are given t o on. derstand that some informalities in the registration affected the suffrages of at least five h un d re d of those who would have voted for Sir Augusto; Warren. For this we are not accountable; oar business was to instigate our fellow-citisens to pro' cure and register freeholds. If there has been ° failure elswhere, we have now but to join with our fellow-citizens in deploring the result of it. And was to be deplored—it was a subject of bitter, affliction to behold the i n d e p en d ent C at h o li c a n d ford ted P f r omr ot e s ta s h t y a e , t hlu walking o for Mr. dr j . e t e Go r e e hcir Gerard ra u dr t mc a n ra. d l l pa g d e h i t seaarnp, Comer o i r n n put • down a vile faction in this city." Could not, however, the contest have been pre' longed ? It cou ld ; and we join with the public in saying that it ought to have been prolonged. The protest entered against G. Callaghan's return may be, and we are assured is, decisive against that gen" tleman's eligibility ; but the protest would not have been a whit weaker, if the wishes of some hundreds of unpolled voters had been complied with. It is nonsense to talk to us of not polling to the last man against Gerard Callaghan. His speech, at the close of the poll, was of a piece with his general conduct. It was? hollow effort to gain over the liberals to his support, on some future occasion, against the very dupes who are now ad' miring him. He talked of Aristocrats and non-re' sidents. He talked of them--the very man who, if, 1820, flourished in his memorable "electionrationale the names of all the mighty Lords by whom he We to have been supported, and who again, in 182 60 exclaimed, " Freemen, you are 2,ooo—the election is in your hands !"—knowing full well that the 0 4 ' jority of those very freemen were non-residents.
