IRELAND. DUBLIN, Nov. 7.—The vacancy created in the reFtientation of the county of Meath, by the acces sion of Lord Bective to the peerage, on the death of his father, the Marquis of lleadfort, will be filled. and I have reason to believe without opposition, by Lord Killeen, the son of the Earl of Fingal. The county of Meath is, from its vicinity to Dublin, from the fertility of its soil, and the number and wealth of its resident proprietary, one of the most consider able in the island. The greatest resident landlord is Mr. Napper, a gentleman of 20,000/. a year, and who, of course, has fair claims upon the represen tation. It is understood, however, that this gentle man gives his support to Lord Killeen. Lord Clif ton, the son of the Earl of Darnley, has also con siderable pretensions, but it is understood that his Lordship declines pressing them on the present oc eoilin. The thity person mentioned as at all likely talse the s't'andard of opposition is ,a Mr. Wade ; kjut the ttersise of the county is already expressed so Ovoi*.,lly in favour of Lord Killeen,that it is thought Wade will think better of it. Mr. Wade is an Orangeman, or rather what is called a high Protes tant, and the only man ; I believe, of considerable prnperty ih that county that is so. Now, should Lutd killett be returned, of which for my part I have no doubts t i ae event will be remarkable in this l'eNpect Ott! forty-shilling constituency is no more, kf.kt 'Catholic interest in the county arising from 0. 1 ", source is at an end. Though there is great tttholic property in the county, both of an ancient thte,—for Meath belonged to the pale,—and of recent acquirement,—still the greater part is Protes tant ; and it has so happened, that fewer ten-pound freeholders have been registers] in Meath, than I believe in any other county Gf its size and impor tance in Ireland. Satisfied with the Catholic Relief as well as with their representatives, the people appear to have rested on their oars, and The conse quence at present is, that the constituency are generally fifty-pound freeholders—Protestants and Protestant Clergymen. By these will Lord Killeen have been elected.—Morning Paper. DUBLIN, Nov. 7. ArPLICATiON OF TIIE LORD MAYOR TO GOVERNMENT UN BEHALF OF TILE MURDERERS OF HANLON ; AND 'IIIEIR EXECUTION. Late yesterday evening an appEcation was made to the Chief Magistrate, froM the heads of the va rious operative classes in this city, proposing that if the byes of Mellon and Magrath were spared, the therent bodies would dissolve themselves, deliver tip to Ihe authorities all their books and papers, and solemnly promise never again to unite in any unlaw ful confederacy. . . The LORD MAYOR immediately waited on the Chief Baron (before whom the prisoners were tried) and they proceeded to , ether to Lord Leveson, tower, to whom the proposition was submitted.— I s Lordship, however, stated that the frightful I.pirit of combination bad attained such a height, mid so many unfortut ate men had fallen victim; to it.; fury, that a dreadful example was necessary; and as the crime in which Mellon and Magrath were con cerned was one of the most cruel and sanguinary murders ever perpetrated in a great city, Government could not interfere, and the law must take its cour'e. The wretched criminals, who were not aware of Ibis application on their behalf, have conducted themselves with a fortitude worthy a better cause. They admit the justice of their sentence, and await .pith re.ignation the awful hour that is to separate them from the world. Immense crowds of people are surrounding Newgate, and the adjacent streets .are crowded to suffocation. ONE o'CLOCK.—The unfortunate culprits have just appeared on the drop. The great mass of the reople are hushed in breathless silence, which is oc casionally interrupted by a few faint cries from females. . . HALF-PAST ONE.—The scene is over—and the first criminals ever convicted of a murder arising from combination have ceased to exist. A strong detachment of police and military are about to con duct the bodies for dissection to the Surgeons' Hall. The inhabitants of Mien, county of Gal wap, have entered into resolutions to put down, in every legal u ay, the attempts now made by persons to register 01. freeholds, who have no pretence whatever for so doing.— Cork Constitution. We have heard that MOSEY, the Snydell murderer, is likely to be brought to justice. It is ascer tained that he is in America; and officers have been sent uver for his apprehension. It is said that a letter sent from him to his mother has fallen into the bands of the frrm her inability to pay the postage. —Leeds Alcrcw•y. On Tuesday, at a meeting of the Common Council of Waterford, JOHN ARCHBOLD, Esq., was elected a Common Councilman, or Assistant, in the room of A EXANDER WALLACE, Esq., resigned. Mr. ARCHBOLD is a Catholic—the second Catholic admitted into the Cor p• ration since the passing of the Relief Bill.— Tipperary Free Press. The whole of the fishing-ships have now ar rived, with the exception of the Ellison, which is daily expected. The produce of the fishery is calculated at shout 9,000 tons of oil ; in 1828 it was about 13,000 tons, and in 1827 about 17,000 tons. We accidentally omitted to mention, last week, the buss of the Dauntless, BRAN BA m, of this port, which took place in thick weather off Cape Searle, on the 24th of September. The crew were all caved, as was also, we understand, part of the stores and blubber. The Dauntless had caught thirteen fish and about 120 tons of oil, when the unfortunate event occurred.—Hull Advertis r. At Chockier, in the province of Liege, a dis covery very interesting to geology has been just made. About a month ago the director of a lime-burning esta blishment found some bones in a fissure of chalk -stone, situated upwards of 150 Flanders ells below the level of the Meuse (Meese). He communicated this discovery to D SCHMERLING, who instituted a search and collected a great number of organic remains. Messrs. GAEDA and Lavy, Professors of the University, have been to visit this place, and in a very short time they found hones them selves, and several teeth, amongst which there were teeth of bears, of hyenas, lions, rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, &c. Every thing indicates that this depot is ana logous to 'hose found in several countries, either in na tural caverns or in the fissures of rocks, which have for several years past fixed the attention of geologists, and especially of the celebrated Dr. BUCKLAND, Professor of Geology at the celebrated University of Oxford. He pub lished a work intitled " Reliquian Antede!uviatice," &c The bons a found at Chockier are the more interesting, as this is the third or fourth example of a similar depot found in lime-stone, of as remote a geological epoch as that to which those found near Liege are attributed. The following is an account of the manage mer.t of w ill tre s in Holland. It is in the form of a conversation with a Dutchman :—" You, in England," said the Dutch gardener, " nail your fruit trees to a brick wall by me ins of selvages of cloth ; and you invent pa tent composition as the acme of perfection. Now mark the cohs:•qurnce ; your fruit must swell all round alike, but its fruit-spur is kept close to the wall ; the fruit pressed against the wall acquires a hard scurfy scab that never softens, or acquires any eatable quality. This you call wall-burnt, or some such term. Again, in two or three years your nicely-jointed brick wall becomes a riddle • of nail-holes, most admirably adapted to be the nest of eggs of every insect that by instinct places them near the food fit fur the young progeny. Then again, the driving the nai's and replacing the cloth bands in a long wall occupies the assistant for two months in the spring. i‘irrk our simple method. I plant into the ground, within a few inches of the foot of the wall, willow or hazel rods peeled, at the distance of eight inches from one another, and each reaching to the top of the wall. Thin long laths of deal are laid across, and the rods are nailed to tiem, the lath being between the rods and the wall. A :similar line of laths is placed along the foot of the willow rods. A few loops of iron are nailed into the wall, to prevent the framework, if it may be so termed, from shift ing. Then the branaes of the fruit trees are bound to each upright rod, simply by a string of Russian bass mat ting. Now this is done more rapidly than can be done by your man of nai's and cloth and hammer. The fruit Las room to swell all round ; no vermin harbours in the wall ; and the gardener can preserve his trees more effec tually, and keep the main stock in a more healthy state, than when compressed with its boughs ag a i nst t h e wa ll lLe rods need not be thicker than a man's thumb," LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, 1829. We are given to understand that all the Common Law Arrangements have at length been decided on by the proper authorities. It is not intended to fill up any vaca►►cies on the Bench till after the new arrangements have re ceived the concurrence of Parliament. For this purpose a Bill is to be brought in early in the ensuing Session, so as to pass through before the Spring Circuit. Two additional Judges are to be appointed, and Mr. Justice BUR ROUGH retains his scat on the Bench till the new arrangements arc finally completed. W ith respect to the changes contemplated in the Equity Jurisdiction, the parties most inte rested are not yet agreed, but it is expected that matters will be satisfactorily arranged in that department, also, before the meeting of Par liament. A Privy Council was to have been held at Windsor Castle this day, the summonses for which were issued yesterday, but early in the morning a messenger arrived in town with orders from his MAJESTY to countermand it. The Paris Papers of Sunday, with the Gazette de. France dated Monday, have been received. The Message). des Chambrcs states that Count CAPO D'ISTRIA was preparing to proceed to the Russian head-quarters at Adrianople, but for what purpose is not mentioned. We have no doubt it is to get his secret instructions from General DIEBITSCH, as to the best manner of serving the views of their Imperial Master with respect to the future destinies of Greece. How far their plans may succeed we cannot divine, but one thing is note certain, that as the policy of Russia is better understood, the EMPEROR will find it more difficult than formerly to ac complish his purpose. England and France are now both on their guard, and the Russian must shape his plans accordingly. The Gazette de France places among the mistakes of the Journals the statement that a courier had brought to the Austrian Legation news that the Emperor of RUSSIA had modified the terms of the Treaty with Turkey : (From the Messager des Chambres of Sunday.) (SECOND EDITION.) TRIESTE, OCT. 21. An English steam-boat has brought us word that Count Capo d'lstria was preparing, with the approbation of the Ministers of England and France, to proceed to the Rus sian head quarters at Adrianople. It is said that he will land at Enos, whence he will continue his journey by land. It is hoped that he will remain at the head of the Greek Government, and that in this quality he will take part in the negotiations respecting the affairs of Greece. VIENNA, OCT. 29. A Russian courier has passed through this city on his way to Constantinople. An English courier has arrived from London, and an Austrian courier has been dispatched to Paris. (From the Gazette de France of Monday. ) FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, OCT. 21. Accounts from Constantinople up to the 9th have been received. Halil Pacha had not yet set out on his mission to St. Petcrsburgh, but every thing was preparing for his journey, and especially rich presents for the Emperor and Empress. It is added, the Porte daily gives fresh proofs of its intention punctually to execute the treaty of peace. The freedom of commerce has a great influence on busi ness, and, since the 25th of September, above 160 ships of all nations had passed from the Mediterranean on their way to the Black Sea. Three Russian ships had also passed, but had not stopped or taken any firtnans. (From the Allgemeine Zeitung of Nov. 4.) BUCHAREST, OCT. 16. For some days past the Russian Authorities have been hiring houses, and there is no doubt but General Geismar, with part of his corps, will soon return to this city. The Pacha of Scutari has begun to send his troops to their own homes, and they are now dispersing themselves in all di rections. The Commissioners, to whom the fortress of Ghiurgevo is to be given up, have left Bucharest. For five days we had had no case of plague, and began to be inure easy, when all at once the plague appeared in two bower!, which bad hitherto been free. Letters from Jassy of the 11th say, that signs of the plague had manifest.d themselves there. VIENNA, OCT. 30.—Metalliques, 1024 ; Bank Shares, 1,2392: German Papers of the 3d Nov. have been re ceived. The reappearance of the plague in Moldavia and Wallachia has occasioned some alarm. The understanding in the Russian army was that the EMPEROR had remitted four mil lions of (bleats in the amount of the indemnity, and that in consequence the Turkish territory would be evacuated four years sooner than was anticipated. In the meantime large purchases of horses are made in Poland to remount the Ca valry. Russia does wisely to be prepared:— FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, OCT. 23. Within these few days it is reported that various cases of pl igue have occurred in the principalities, namely, at Jassy and Bucharest, which have induced the authorities take the promptest measures, several soldiers of the garrison having been attacked. It is believed ; that in cell sequence of this circumstance, the troops left for the occu pation of the principalities will not be numerous. It is thought, in the Russian army, that the Ports ha` obtained a reduction of four millions of ducats in the amount of the military contributions; and that the Em .. peror Nicholas intends, on this account, to older the eva_ cuation of the Turkish territory four years before the tits stipulated at Adrianople. Large purchases of horses are making in Poland, to remount the light cavalry. EGINA, SEPT. 2. The National Congress at Argos has passed the follow ing resolution respecting the decision of causes that were pending in the criminal courts before the arrival of the President of Greece :—lst, all disputes between natives of the country, arising from actions that are to be considered as crimes or misdemeanours committed between.the_2Bth of Feb. (0. S.) 1821, and the installation of the Provi sional Government in 1826, shall be decided on the first and last instance by a tribunal of arbitration, consisting of three members; 2d, each of the two parties will name an arbitrator; the third will 15e appointed by the Govern ment, the majority of two decides; 3d, if the plaintiff or the dependent does not name his arbitrator, t'ie Govern ment has the right to appoint him ; 4th, the arbitrators are chiefly to aim in the execution of their duties at the ex tinction of hostile passions, and take equity for their guide. In all the above cases, the usual course of proceeding shall be observed with the reserve of such modifications as the Government may think fit to order, either in general or for the particular cases. 6. This tribunal decides finally on such cases with respect to the damages to which the plaintiff has proved hi s right, but every thing relative to the application of the punishment is left to the Government." The last (13th) decree of the National Congress relates to the re assembling of the Fourth Congress, and the re newal of its sittings. The members of the present Con gress will form the next assembly, which is to be consi dered as only the continuation of the present. As soon as the Government has prepared the plan of a Constitu tion, or when the casts enumerated in the 3d Article of the first decree render it necessary, the members of the present Congress are to be again called together. By advices from Rio Janeiro we learn that the new Sugar crop was not expected in the market before the middle of October. The Coffees of the new crop had come in very fast. Hides were steady, but small ones not much in demand. Letters from Lima to the latter part of July confirm the intelligence of the admission of the prohibited articles on payment of certain duties, amounting to 90 per cent., of which 50 per cent. was to be paid in cash, and the remaining 40 per cent. in billettes (Government securities). Flour was an exception to this, the whole of the duty being payable in cash. Every thing was tranquil at Lima, and the citizens are said to be satisfied with the change of Government. It was sup posed at the meeting of Congress that the 90 per cent. duties would be reduced to 30 per cent., he old standard. General LA FUENTE, the officiating President, was in favour of low duties and commerce with foreigners. He had offered to the Mining Companies all the assistance in his power, both in money and mules, to get the mines in work, which it was expected would go into operation in January. The Markets were very dull, and money extremely scarce. Dollars were at 3 per cent. premium. The following communication from our Paris Correspondent would have appeared yesterday, did space allow. It gives a view of the state of parties in France. The reported recognition of Don MIGUEL by France is not credited, though the thing is by no means improbable, provided the Usurper is disposed to marry the sister of the Duchess of BERRI.

" It was stated in the Quotidienne of yesterday, as a rumour at the Tuilleries, that Don Miguel had been recognised by France as King of Portugal. It must have been observed that the Quotidienne has always been favourable to the pretensions of Don Miguel, and on this occasion it adds, Our presen " timents did not deceive us; we know that the " ' example of the recognition of the King of Por " tugal by the Pope would be followed by all the g" Sovereigns of Europe. His Majesty, it is added, " ' is about to marry a sister of the August mother " ' of the Due de Bordeaux.' The evening official Journal, the Gazette, reports the article in the Quoti dienne as an error of its demi-official contemporary, and adds, that the Pope has not recognized Don " ' Miguel. The Papal Nuncio was authorised to " ' establish diplomatic relations with the Court of " Lisbon, as 80011 as another Power should have " recognized Don Miguel as King. This was " done by the Nuncie immediately after the " Spanish Minister had delivered his credentials.' " It is perfectly understood that the French Court is at present divided into two distinct parties; the one having been the means of creating the pre sent Ministry, it continues to support it; while the other does not conceal its dissatisfaction, and hav ing openly declared against it, is loud in its expres sions of discontent. The leaders of the first party tire the Cardinal de Latil, who has raised himself from an obscure situation to the Archbishopric of 'Rheims,' and the dignity of a Cardinal. As a pre late he is said to lie proud and haughty in his de meanour, with but a moderate share of talent ; his character being formed on the model of those priests who figured in the French annals in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The other leader of this section of the Court is the Duc de Damas, the Go vernor of the Duc de Bordeaux, whose character is distinguished for honour and loyalty, but whose intellect is even more narrow and limited than that of the Cardinal, being one of those men who are easily made the tools of an abler intriguer, and who devote themselves to the purposes of religious ambition, when it presents itself with all those splendid attractions with which the Catholic Faith is surrounded. It was at the house of the Duc de Damas that all the conferences were held which pre ceded the formation of the present Ministry ; it was from his saloon that the great impulse was given, and it is still there that deliberations are held as to the means of supporting M. de la Bourdonnaye in his place in the Cabinet, on whom it cannot be con cealed that the hopes of the new Ministry are placed. The other party at Court have for their leaders the Dukes de Fitzjames and de Guiche, and M. de Alaielle, who are all men of known talent and experience, and having passed the ordeal of a long revolution, are probably not disposed to expose thetnselves and their fortunes in support of a Minis try which cannot be of long duration. The repeated rumours of changes in the Cabinet are, no doubt, industriously circulated with the view of weakening their influence,and if there wereevenless ground than there is for believing their footing insecure, there cmbe no doubt, that such rumours would always have a tendency to detach that feeble and irresolute class olsociety, which is found in every country and is uniformly ranged on the side of strength and stability. The Ministerial party, however, would have us believe that there is no chance of a change, and they say, that, as in England we have pro verbially one year of Whigs and ten of Tories, so in France they will have a similar proportion in the durability of their Royalist to that of their Liberal Administration. " La Victorieusc sloop of war lately arrived from Navarin, announces that Admiral de Rigny will shortly return to France, on board his flag ship Le Conquerant. . _ . . " Disastrous intelligence is daily expected from the Mediterranean, in consequence of accounts which have arrived from Barcelona of a tremendous tempest which had visited that city, and done immense damage." In another part of our paper will be found a detailed Report made to the King of FRANCE, by the KEEPER Of the SEALS, on the State of the Criminal and Civil Jurisprudence of that country, for the last year. The number of the ac cused amounts to 7,396, of whom 5,970 are men, making the number of the women about 19 per cent.; whereas in former years they amounted to only 18 per cent. ,The number of unmarried persons is in tire proportion of 59 per cent., and those belonging to the depart ment in which thei were condemned are at the rate of 72 per cent. Of the 7,396 who were prosecuted, 2,845 have been acquitted ; while 4,551 have been condemned,—viz. 114 to death, 268 to labour for life, 1,112 to labour for a limited period, 1,223 to imprisonment, 11 to the pillory, 1 to banishment, 1,739 to cor poral punishment, and 53, who were under 16 years of age, to detention and superintendence for limited periods. Of 114 capital condemna tions 75 were executed, and one committed sui cide in prison ; the others had their sen tences variously commuted by the Royal clemency. For offences against the press, 162 persons were implicated in 116 pro ceedings, of whom 72 were acquitted, and 90 condemned ; 28 to fines, and 62 to fine and im prisonment. The number of the accused who had relapsed into crime after former convictions is 1,182, of whom 1,009 were men, and 173 women ; in 1826 there were only 756, and in 1827, 893. But it is to be observed, that the increase is almost entirely in those who had suf fered corporal punishment; while in those con demned to hard labour, there is an actual dimi nution from 179 to 152 ; and in cases of sim ple imprisonment there is no material change. Theft is the crime most generally committed by those who have been liberated after condemna- tion. Of 1,182 who had sustained a second conviction for theft, 967 had been condemned in the previous year; but in offences against the person, the number of second convictions is only twelve per cent., although in former years they amounted to 21 per cent. Involuntary homi cides, arising from the improper driving of car riages, amount to 291 ; in these 348 persons were implicated, 93 being acquitted, and 255 condemned ; 127 of the accidents and 158 of the parties belong to the department of the Seine. In the last year the number of acciden tal deaths was 4,855 ; the number of suicides, 1744 ; and of duels, 86 ; 29 of which were at tended with fatal consequences. Our Paris Correspondent this day resumes his observations upon the Commerce of France, and the very laudable desire manifested by our neigh bours to make Paris a seaport—or rather to give it all the commercial advantages which its insular position will permit. " PARIS, NOV. 8. " In one or two of my former letters I alluded to the anxiety which exists on this side of France, to make Paris a great commercial depot, and to give it, as far as possible, the advantages of a seaport by improvin its water communications with the coast. I took a view also of the external commerce of France, and exhibited in a short abstract a compara tive statement of the exports in the year preceding the Revolution and in 1827. I may now add, that in 1787 France consumed 27,000,000 of kilo grammes of sugar, each kilogramme being equal to about two English pounds and a quarter, and in the same year re-exported 42,000,000 of kilogrammes. In 1827 she consumed 60,000,000, and re-exported nothing. In coffee, cotton, and other articles of West India produce the differences are equally re markable, and it may in general be said, that the amount of the consumpts of 1827 are equal to the aggregate of the consumpts and re-exportations of 1787 ; so that the deficiency created by the loss of the external trade has in a great measure been re paired by the increase of their domestic wants. I may also observe, that although the peace has not restored its foreign trade to France, it has fully doubled its coasting trade, as appears from the ab stract in my former letter. It thus appears that the ordinary course of commerce in France is materially different now to what it was forty years ago. For merly it was chiefly concerned with the affairs of ' nations who at present supply themselves, while now its efforts are exclusively directed to supply the wants of home consumption. It is contended, by the advocates for the improvement of the port of Paris, the construction of wet-docks, and the e nlargement of the navigation, that in the natural order of things each great seaport should supply the wants of the basin to which it naturally belongs At the period of the peace the inhabitants of the basin of the Seine were more generally engaged in m anufactures than in any other district of France, while at the same time they were more than others deprived of their former mercantile connections. Until more direct means were established their sup plies of colonial produce and foreign merchandize were consequently drawn from the ports of other districts; and it is to these new establishments, and to the improvements which have already taken place in the means of communication, that the port of Havre owes its present prosperity, and, I might almost say, its existense. " When the port• of i'Lance were opened by the peace, Bordeaux, Nantes, and Marseilles expected to see their Pittner prosperity restored, and for sever►l years theymaintained their supremacy, continuing in a great measure to supply the wants of Paris , and the district of the Seine. But this was a state of things which could not long continue; the competition of Havre ►vas soon,declared, and in a short time became too strong to be successfully resisted. A struggle, ho►vever, ►ras attempted but as soon as its issue was perceived a number of mercantile establishments at Nante and Bordeaux formed connections at Havre, ►where several of them ►sere after►vards concentrated on heir finding it their interest to suppress their.origi- nal establishments. Havre in fact presents much of the appearance of some of the new towns or new states of North America, where the constantly in creasing population is not indigenous, but is the ac_ cumulated tribute of the whole federation. The rapidity of its increase was scarcely expected by those who had not reflected on the changes which had taken place in the industry of the different dis tricts of France, with reference to each other, although it is certain that those changes had made the improvement inevitable. It is natural that the merchants of Nantes, Bordeaux, and Marseilles should be disappointed at the result, and when they see the market for sugar established at Park, for cotton at Quentin and in Al-ace, and coffee trans mitted through Germany in place of the former channels, as they hoped, when they awakened at the peace, full of the recollections of their former prosperity, it is not surprising that they should ascribe the change to the accumulation of wealth in the capital, to luxury, stock-jobbing, and popula tion, or, in fact, to any other cause but the true and obvious one, that foreign products, where trade is unrestricted, find their nearest and cheapest road to the consumer. The clearing of the other ports of France is not fairly imputable to the influence of Paris, but rather to the general freedom of trade, and the rapid increase of Havre is to be ascribed to this cause also in some degree, but in a great measure likewise to the general increase in the wealth and population of the district, including the towns of Rouen, St. Quentin, Lille, Troys, Mulhouse, Metz, and Strasbourg. The losses sustained by Bor deaux, Nantes, and Marseilles, consist, in a great measure, in their re-exportations, and in the carrying trade, in which they formerly participated. As the ports of France provide at present only for the wants of home consumption, the old seaports have suffered by improvements in internal communications, the objects of which are to abridge the time and the dis tance of transport, which, in fact, is the great problem incessantly pursued by all mercantile nations. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY. TrvELrE o' CLocr. The Washington Telegraph, received yesterday, says, in relation to France, instructions have been given to our Minister to leave no effort unemployed by which redress may be obtained for the spoliatiens in our commerce, and in relation to England • the President is earnestly desirous and has sincerely undertaken to arrange the difficulties be tween that Government and ours, as may be mutually agreeable and advantageous, and lay a foundation of lasting concord between them. THZ FUNDS. We are rather scarce in arrivals this morning, and those which have come to band are of little import : our Funds remain steady. Consols, which left off yesterday at 9l for Money, and 9l for the Account, opened at the same price, and at present may be quoted 911, alternately buyers and sellers, for the Account, and for January 92i -a. The Mexican and Hamburg steameis are not as yet arrived. The Foreign Market is the grand focus of attraction this morning, owing to the great speculations in the Greek Stock, which has been done at 27,i, being a rise since yesterday morning of five to six per cent. This rise is attributed to the expectation of a Greek Loan, and the President of Greece going to the Russian head-quarters. Spanish stock is also better.

The improvement in Greek Bonds has been con siderable, and they remain firm at our former quotations. It is the general opinion that Greece will soon become a kingdom, with a great extent of territory, and it is said that the choice of her sovereign lies between a Prince of the House of Bavaria and the Ex-King of Sweden, but in the choice of the latter there is same difficulty, owing to his being a nephew of the Emperor of Russia.

FOX-HUNTING AND HORSE• RACING.--Yes terday Lord PECRE'S hounds found a fox at Stock, and, after a two hours' hard run, killed him at Rettendon Common, in full view, and in good time for many of the Nimrods to witness the race on Galleywood Common, be tween Mr. JOSEPH SKINGSLEY'S All-bone and Mr. KERSEY'S Gallipot. The former was rode by NORMAN and the latter by ROBINSON, both Newmarket jockies The horses ran the two-mile course in four minutes and 35 seconds, but All-bone won the race with apparent ease. The winner, we are informed, was but a short time s'nee sold for 71. This bet originated at Coggeshall fair, in June last, on which occasion Gallipot beat her opponent. —Essex Herald of Tuesday.. The inhabitants of Sarre-Louis have applied to the Prussian Government to consecrate the memory of Marshal NEY by a monument, he having Leen a native of that town. This permission has been most gracious'y granted. It was then determined that a marble slab should be incrusted in the walls of the house where the illustrious Marshal was born, and that an inscription should be engraven thereupon. In consequence of this, a sub scription has been opened at the Burgomaster's of that town; all the Magistrates and the principal inhabitants have eagerly contributed to it, and the inauguration has since taken place.
