THAMES YACHT CLUB.—Her Majesty having extended her patronage to this club, a gold cup and cover has been given by the noblemen and gentlemen who arc members, to celebrate the accession of her present Majesty to the throne. The match is amongst yachts of all classes not exceeding 25 tone, and will take place on Saturday next. There are no less than seven entered, and, should the weather be anything like fine, it cannot fail of affording a kigh treat. Mr. Barrow's Princess Victoria, Mr. Lee's Lady Louisa, Mr. Gunston's Sabrina, Mr: Lyon's Alert, Mr. Hewes's Lady Emma, Mr. Smith's Queen Victoria, and Mr. Bayley's Maria, are the contending yachts. There are plenty of favourites for the sporting men. The Sabrina is first on the list ; the Princess and Alert arc both spoken highly of ; the Queen Victoria is not known, but she is in the bands of Mr. Smith, the owner of the once cele brated and still beautiful Lady Louisa; those who have seen ber under canvas declare her to be a nonpareil. The Venus steamboat will accompany the match. THE SILVER CUPS.-We detailed, two or three days since, the oars match for the two silver cups, and it will be remem bered that it was imputed to Mr. Dalgleish that he had pushed Mr. Wood's boat off with his hand. It has been referred to Mr. Lewis, and the objection to the cups being given to Mr. Dalgleish and his partner, is withdrawn. THE SILVER SCULLS.—The most interesting probably of the many scullers' matches which take place during the season on the London River is that for the possession of the silver sculls, or, in other words, the amateur championship of the River, which comes off this evening, and is expected to be contested in a style never before surpassed. The competitors on the occasion are Mr. Wood, of the Leander Club, the present possessor of the silver sculls, and Mr. Patrick Colquhoun , for merly of th e W estminster School , now of St. john's Cambridge. The start will be from Westminster Bridge, at about six o'clack. The hostility of the Swiss Forest Cantons to steam, as an unl uc k y i nnovation, has been overcome. The fi rst steam-boat was l aunched on William LakeT:l°l"sne on the 29th of July. There is now no lake in Switzerland with out its steam-boat. On Tuesday morning, between 2 and 3 o'clock, as a cab, containing two gentlemen, was passing over Vaux hall Bridge (it is conjectured from the Gardens) it was overtaken by another, and a race ensued. The driver of the first was much intoxicated, and the vehicles came in contact. Such was the violence that one of the cabs was driven on the foot-pavement, and the unfortunate driver precipitated over the railings into the river, where he sank. Owing to the darkness of the morning no efficient assistance could be given, and up to this time the body has not been found. The horse finding himself at liberty started off at full speed, but fortunately any accident was prevented by the tollkeeper's promptly closing the gate. SINGULAR CASE OF SUICIDE.—On Monday an inquest was held at the London Hospital. in the Mile-end road, before Mr. Baker, the coroner, on view of the body of Mr. Thomas Metcalf, a young man, whose friends and con nections are of the highest respectability, and who had com mitted an act of suicide under the following singular circum stances. It appears that the friends of the deceased had latterly procured him a situation of great trust in the office of a Russian merchant, and that soon after lie took posses sion of it his appearance became much changed, and his mind desponding. On the Thursday he proceeded to Layton, in Essex, and returned to his residence in Lucas- street, St. George's in the East, on the same evening, when appearing very ill, Mr. Rutherford, a surgeon in the neigh bourhood, was sent for and attended. On his atriva', he perceived some slight marks of blood on the waistcoat of the deceased, which caused him to examine him closely, and to his great surprise he discovered, on removing his neckcloth, a wound on his throat full an inch and a half in length, and more than half an inch in depth, and his inner garments wer e completely saturated with gore. On being questioned Ire said, he felt himself unequal to the task of discharging the duties of his situation, that his mind bename affected in consequence, and that he inflicted the wound on himself at Layton, and subsequently walked home. The hemorrhage was instantly stopped, and the deceased removed to the hospital, but owing to the extent of the wound, and the great loss of blood, he died shortly afterwards. A verdict of temporary insanity was returned. A very ingenious instrument, of which we have seen a model, has been invented by Captain George Smith, R.N., intended to give warning of the approach, and to announce the course a steamer is sailing on in a fog. It consists of a gong, on which a hammer is made to strike *every ten seconds a certain number of blows, by very simple machinery, according to the course a st eamer i s sail ing on. F or examp l e, if she be sailing north, the gong is struck once ; if east, twice ; if south, thrice ; and if west, four times, every ten seconds. By this systematic method the position, course, and proximity of a steamer will be clearly announced to any other vessel. In rivers Captain Smith proposes the gang to emit single sounds every ten seconds, which would be enough to give warning. He also proposes to apply the instrument to railway trains, by the blowing of a trumpet. The peculiar merit of the invention appears to us to lie in the equability of intervals, and of in tensit) of sound, which cannot be equalled by any human means.—Rail way Mag,ozine. ENGLISH OPERA IlousE.--A new musical romance, called Manche (il - Jersey, the libretto by Mr. Peake, and the music by Mr. John Barnett, was produced at this theatre last night. The music is most creditable to the taste and genius of Mr. Barnett ; though the greatest praise we can award to it is that it is pretty. Nearly all the songs (they are but few) were encored ; nor do we find much fault with this ; they, generally speaking, are of that light, playful, and, let it be added, popular character, which is now more sure of succeeding than more ambitious and highly elaborated compositions. Miss Romer, as _Manche, gave her music with much taste, and she acted—which re quired a greater stretch of power—with force and just feeling. The opera was highly successful, and was announced for repetition on Friday amidst undivided applause. To the no small astonishment of many of the respectable residents of that part of the town, a blue and white flag (the colours of Lord Francis Egerton and Mr. Wilbraham) was seen on Sunday morning last, waving from the tower of St. John's church in this town. It remained there for some time, but was at length removed on the strong remonstrance of a member of the congregation, who, knowing that even the beershops and pothouses did not hang out party flags on the Sunday, applied to the church wardens on the subject. We know not by whom this act of indecency was committed ; but we have every reason to believe that it was entirely without the sanction or know ledge of the Rev. William Huntington, the rector, who, we understand, was absent from town. We have said that the flag was removed ; but we should add, that this was only for the remainder of the day ; it was re-hoisted on Monday morning, and remained there Burin;; the whole of Monday and yeste r d ay ; and for aught know to the contrary, it there still. Surely this is a matter of which the Bishop of Chester, or ...Manchester his Ch ance ll or, i s b ound to take cognizance. Guardian. CARMARTHENsiIIith LLLu t iur SWANSEA, AUG. B.—The election for the county to re turn two Members commenced in this county yesterday. It has usually sent one Tory and one Reformer, in tit, Hon. R. Trevor, and Sir James H. Williams ; but I am sorry to say that I very much fear, from the state of thi first day's roll (as under), the latter gentleman will lose his election. At the close of the first day they stand thus : Trevor, Jones, Williams, 2,081. 1,835 1,675 Tory, Tory, Reformer ; unless (as I have just heard, from very good authority), the Tories have nearly brought all they have to bring up to the poll the first day —I hope such may be the case, for a more worthy Member of the late Parliament does not exist than Sir James Williams. But here again, as in the county of Glamorgan, things have been moat wretchedly manafiecl on the part of the RcAnvers. It is now too late to say much on this subject, as the mischief has been done, except it be for the future ; and the exultation of the enemy is increased by our complainings. We are not in Wales alone in such gross bad management ; as I perceive you in England (Middlesex to wit) has entailed a lasting disgrace upon itself, in the rejection of Mr. Hume, one of the most useful Members of the House of Commons, as even Tories admit.

COUNTY OF DUBLIN ELECTlON.—Yesterday the elec tion of two Members to represent the metropolitan count) of Ireland in Parliament took place at the Court-house. Kilmainham. It was rumoured dozing the past week, an' even in the course of yesterday morning, that the ton or Hanoverian party was determined en a contest, any. that their not having avowed such an intention was inere!)- for the purpose of taking by surprise the " friends of the Queen." But no Tory durst show his face. George Evans. Esq., and Lord Brabazon were triumphantly returned. They were declared duly elected, without even an under erowl from the bull dogs or blood hounds of the faction. They showed their teeth, but they had not courage, to get up even a bark. KILDARE. —Yesterday the nomination of the candidates, Mr. OTerral, Mr. Mitliven, Mr. Archbold, and of Mr. Bourke, the Conservative took place. Mr. Ruthven did not appear in high favour with the multitude, an d se e ms to have incurred the popular displeasure, m ore t h an t h e friends even of the Conservative. CARLOW.—Colonel Bruen, Mr. Vigors, Mr. Bunbury, and Mr. Bagot, were severall proposed and seconded. The Court then adjourned till the next day. WATERFORD CourtTr.--The Beresfords are beaten, and have retreated yesterday. The SherifF declared Mr. Wyse and Mr. Baron duly elected. A grand public entry is to be made by them this day into the city. It is a remarkable fact that it was on this day twelve months that the Earl Mulgrave made his triumphant entry into the City. We have no doubt that the entry of the Liberal Catulidates will equal that in magnificence and spirit-stirring. incident.. This is also the anniversary of Mr. Wyse's election for Tipperary. • THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10. 1:37, rich the foreign Ministers at this Court have receive ,nil presented their new credentials from their respectiv, Courts. Baron Von Canitz, the Prussian Ambassador. rho will in future reside at Hanover instead of Cassel; ,-01 presented his new credentials before General Halkett. mho was sent to notify to the King of Prussia the acces :ion of our new Sovereign, bed arrived at Bolin, from vhich place, as the King had already left it, he foiloweci him to Toplitz. The new credentials must, therefore, have icen made out before the King's departure. In the same nanuer the Russian Minister, Von Schroeder, (who is also weredited to the Courts of Dresden and Weimar) had presented his credentials before the notification of the ac cession of our King hal reached St. Petershugh. The same is the case with the new credentials of the Ba varian Minister and Privy Councillor, Von Hormdvr Her tonber:f. Of the other newly accredited Ministers, General Von Bismark (the Wurtenburg Mitiister) is gone first in Southern Russia. The King and Queen go to Carlsbad. The most general and painful interest is felt here in the melancholy situation of the Crown Prince, who, though he 'ias been sa short a time here, acquired the most sincere affection of the people by his affabiity, his goodness of heart, and the affecting fortitude with which he bears his misfOrtune. He is accompanied, as you know, to Nordernv by his Physician, Privy Councillor Von Grade, that his nerves may he strengthened by sea bathing before an ope ration is performed on the eye, which may perhaps be saved. The most fervent prayers of the whole country ac companying bins thither ; but unhappily, from what tran spires in public, one eye is wholly and irrecoverably lost ; the other it is said gives little hope. If (which may Heaven avert) the operation should fail of the desired success, the affair will he of the highest importance to .this; country in a poli tical point of view. It is hitherto a thing unheard of in the history of Europe for a Monarch, in a state of blind ness, to ascend the Throne. In the histories of the By zantine atrocities, and of the former dominion of the Moors in Spain, there may perhaps have been instances of a Prince whose eyes were put out by one party, to make him inca pable of wearing the Crown, having been called to it by the other party. But no ease of a blind Monarch mount ing the Throne has ever happened in the history of Eu rope, properly so called. If, therefore, his Royal Highness should not recover his sight, the ease provided for in Sec. 14 of the Constitution will doubtless .ensue—namely, the formation of a Regency. " A Regency takes place when the King is either ender age, or otherwise hindered from personally exercising the functions of Government." VIENNA, JULY 31.—The disorder of the Empress is the measles, but the alarm excited by the first news is allayed by the bull, tins which have been received to-day, and are very favourable. MELO' AN I.

INCIDENT IN THE FIRST PENINSULAR WAR. —Late one evening- a small party of French dragoons ap peared unexpectedly among the mountnins ; and the se cluded valley where El Marico dwelt was soon discovered by these marauders. They approached the old man's cot tage, were civilly received, accommodated with food and wine, their horses supplied with corn, and all that submis sive peasants could do to propitiate their clemency was tried. Hew was El Marico's hospitality returned 9 He had no gold to tempt their cupidity, and in his peaceful occu pation and feeble strength there was no plea to excite ap prehension or justify severity. But he was a husband and a father, His wife retained some portion of her former beauty ; and his daughters, only verging upon womanhood, were singularh; bandeeme. Morning had just dawned, the order to march was given, end the unhappy family, suppos ing that, pleased with the civility they bad experienced through the night, the marauders would take a friendly leave, came forward to soy farewell. Half the party mounted, when, on a signal from their officer, a dozen rut . - flans seized on the peasant's daughters, and placed them before two dragoons. In vain the astonished mother cl , lrg wildly to one of her beloved ones—in vain the father rushed upon the horseman who held the other ; he was maimed for life by a sword cut, and his wife was savagely shot by the horseman from whose ruffian grasp she had striven to extricate her child. Wounded and bewildered, El Msrico leaned over the dying woman. In a few minutes she breathed her last, and her groans mingled with her daugh ters' shrieks, as they came at intervals from the mountains over which the ravishers were carrying then). For three months El Marko remained an idiot, and during that time no tidings of his children could be obtained. At length they returned to their once happy and innocent home—one only to die, the other to exist dishonoured.—The Bivouac ; by the Author of " Stories qf Waterloo." COPENHAGEN, TIIE CHARGER THAT CARRIED WELLINGTON AT WATEIILOO.—" He died last year," says Miss Mitford, in her Country Stories ' just published, " at the age of 27. He was therefore in his prime on the day of Waterloo, when the Duke, (then and still a man of iron) rode him for seventeen hours and a half without dismount ing. When his Grace got off, he patted him, and the horse kicked, to the great delight of his brave rider, as it proved that he was not beaten by that tremendous day's work. After his return, this paddock was assigned to him, in which be passed the rest of his life in the most perfect com fort that can be imagined ; fed twice a day (latterly upon oats broken for him) with a comfortable stable to retire to, and a rich pasture in which to range. The late amiable duchess used regularly to feed him with bread, and this kindness had given him the habit (especially after her death) of approaching every lady with the most con tiding fami liarity. He had been a fine animal, of middling size, and of a chesnut colour ; but latterly he exhibited an interesting specimen of natural decay, in a state as nearly that of nature as can well be found in a civilized country. He had lost an eye from, age, and had become loan and feeble, and, in the manner in which he approached even a casual visitor, there was something of the demand of sympathy, the appeal to human kindness, which one has so often observed from a very old dog towards his master. Poor Copenhagen, who, when alive, furnished so many relics from his mane and tail to enthusiastic young ladies, who had his hair set in brooches and rings, was, after being in terred with military honours, dug up by some miscreant (never, I believe, discovered), and one of his hoofs cut off, it is to be presumed for a memorial, although one that would hardly go in the compass of a ring. A very fine portrait of Copenhagen has been executed by my young friend Edmund Havell, a youth of 17, whose genius as an animal painter will certainly place him second only to Landseer." Yesterday, at the Thames Police Office, Jas. Na- Lion, a Custom House officer stationed on board the Speed, a vessel loading for Boston, America, was again brought up, on the charge of stealing from a chest of plate a mas sive silver coffeepot, ewer, and teapot, during the absence of the. captain and mate ashare. The evidence fully sub stantiated the charge, and the Magistrate, in fully commit ting him to Newgatc for trial, strongly censured the pri soner for aggravating his guilt by endeavouring to persuade the steward, Ling, to join him in the robbery. • Some days ago a person, having the dress and Man ners of a gentleman, speaking French fluently, but with an English accent, entered a furnished hotel in one of the best parts of Paris, and engaged a handsome apartment, saying that he had just arrived by the diligence from one of the sea -ports, and that his servant would follow him in a few minutes with his luggage. He then ordered a sumptuous breakfaq, but, on the return of the waiter, after a short ab sence, iewas found that the new guest had decamped, carry ing with him the plate with which the table had been fur nished. On Sunday morning the same person was arrested at an hotel in the Rue St. Honore, in the act of performing a similar trick ; and, the news of his capture having brought several proprietors of hotels to the Prefecture of Police, he was recognized by them ..as, having committed depredations in their houses.— Galignani's llfessen:;er. The Suabian Mercury gives the following extract of a letter from Smyrna, dated July Bth :—" The French physician, Dr. Bulard, who innoculated himself with the plague, is perfectly convalescent, but is still in quarantine. The Archbishop, the Grand Vicar, and all the Foreign Consuls, have been to visit him. The principal inhabi tants have resolved to have a medal struck in his honour. The plague is diminishing, and the experiments made and published by Dr. Bullard have dissipated the prejudices entertained against his mode of treatment, and have at length created general confidence in him." An Autrian journal gives the following of the 15th ult. from Corfu . . " 'We have received satisfactory accounts from Poros on the subject of the plague. For the last fortnight no - new ease has occurred, and there are not more than six patients altogether in hospital.. All merchandise, however, coming from Greece, is subjected to 23 days' quarantine, that from Naples, Sicily, and Malta to 28 days' quarantine, regulations to that effect having been established since the Bth instant." Extract of a letter from Tripoli :—" The plague is conside rably on the decline. According to the last accounts from Bengali, the sanatory, - state of that town is satisfactory, thanks to the quarantine imposed on every description of merchandise from Tripoli. The malady has likewise totally disappeared from Tunis." GLAMORGANSHIRE. BRIDGEND, Aye. 7.—At an early hour the town WPS thronged with the gentry and yeomanry of the county.

His Excellency left Cintra early on the 26th, with thirtecen of his former officers, and was joined at Mafra by forty Lancers, who had that morning left Lis bon, nay, who, while passing the Alcantava-square, op posit° the Queen's Palace, cried out, " Viva a Carta," without meeting any further obstacle beyond that at tempted to be offered by a few of the Municipal .Guard, one .of whom was killed on the spot. They next proceeded by , the Junquen, Beleva, up the . Caleada de Ajuda, into 13enefica, and from thence to Mafra, which, of itself, i s proof evident of the great discredit into which the Septem ber revolutionists have fallen, because otherwi!Ac bow could these men have been suffered to pass the streets unmo lested ? The gallant Marshal next proceeded to Torres Vedras, where he passed the night, continuing on the next day in the direction of Leiva, having already a force of 115 cavalry with him, who had joined him from Lisbon and the neighbourhood. An attempt was made on Thursday evening by about It'lo of the National Guards and 100 Artillftymen to fol low the Marshal's traces, in order to come up with and place themselves under his orders ; but they were foiled, in consequence of the Minister's interference to prevent it. Considerable uneasiness has prevailed ever since, and with good reason, because the occupation of Abrantcs by Gene. ral Nepomuceno has been confirmed, as well as his having some closets at Santarem. I understand that the National Guards, as well as the inhabitants of three or four towns, have spontaneously declared for the Charter. Oae hundred and twenty-five September patriots were embarked, on the evening of the 28th, on board the Conde de Palladia steamer, for Villanova, on their way to the neighbourhood of Santarem, and such of the National Guards as are supposed favourably disposed towards the prevent order of thing,r, say about nine hundred strong, have been under arms during the last three days, because they have been afraid of a nightly irruption of some-Car list corps into Lisbon ; they have been in dread of the Queen's flight on board the British fleet. Such is the tre.;t ment which their leaders and demagogues bestow on her Majesty! It was only on the :29th that as Colonel Pi mentel, Baron de Campagnal, was entering the palace of Necessidades, for the purpose of as,uming: his weekly duty on the Prince as Aid-de-Camp, he was arrested by a small detachment of National Guards, who commenced to ill-use him in a most shameful manner, and would have put him to death but for the timely interference of some of the Muuicipal Guard, who, much to their credit, sent the assassins to the right about, and saved the gallant officer. His Royal Highness sent another of his aide-dc-camps, Colonel Calza Piria, to request that Baron might b p e ri s h e e t e a e t i 3 b r e e r d ty t o e n h h e i e s e i p h a e ro h l i e s , siunrceletrnin dCeanmt g which i c m h case of need, but all was unheeded by the sovereig n revo lutionist, who forthwith sent their prisoner to the tower of St. Julian, at the entrance of the Tagus. Dr. Veiga, a very learned lawyer, the editor of the Diario des Pobres, a most harmless journal, and a M. Chaves, a gentleman of fortune, generally esteemed here, have like wise been arrested. Sebastian Botelho, a Peer under the Charter, narrowly escaped the same fate at Cintra, where the Police, said to be then under the direction of a brother of Viscount Se da Bandeira, went after him, but to no pur pose. I hear of many other arrests, but it is as well not to intrude further on your patience with the names of persons not known in England. Orders have been sent for the arrest of Baron Borufin, commanding the troops which left Lisbon ten days ago against the Estremor Charter people. We have Oporto news to the 29th. The inhabitants were anxiou s to pro claim the Charter, but dreaded some violence on the part of the authorities and the rabble. Baron Leiria, with 1,300 Charter men, within Valence de Minho, keeping• Viscount Sa Bandeira at bay ; the latter had lost 31 killed, in conse quence of his obstinacy in placing a field piece on a certain point, contrary to the expostulations of the Baron, who had no other alternative left him but that of silencing its fires, which he instantly did. _ _ _ General Swhafback had, with one battalion of the 18th Regiment, proclaimed the Charter, and gone towards Cas tello Branco. We are lost in conjectur e as to what course Marshal Saldanha will adopt. The Government have pub lished an Exlrao:Winary Gazette, stating that two officers and four men of the 3d Cavalry, and two officers and forty three men of the 12th Infantry, have deserted from the in surgents ; but I find they are men who, not being willing to join the latter in their attempts to restore the Charter had been left behind. That beautiful steam-boat, the Don Juan, arrived on the :26th from England, proceeding on to Cadiz, Gibraltar, and Malaga, on the ‘2Bth. General Goblcns, the new Belgian Minister, and his family, as well as M. Canso, the Swe dish Charge d'Affaires, came passengers by her. Previous to coming- on shore the latter proceeded on board her Ma jesty's ship Haxtinus, where he had a long intuview with our Admiral. The Manchester on the Liverpool line, ar rived from the Mediterranean on the 29th, and the Zephyr yacht, from England, on the same day. (From a Third Edition of the Morning Chronicle.) Extract of a letter from Lisbon of the 31st of July, re ceived per the illanchester steamer arrived at Liverpool -- " 'Filings here are in a wretched state of confusion and uncertainty, and it appears quite a toss up which party will succeed ; all the old officers and followers of Don Pedro arc on the revolted side. General Saldunha went off a few nights ago with a party of lancers and several officers to put himself at the head of the revolted ; his appearance will have weight, and cause many to join. " 'The Prince would have gone with Saldanha but for the present state of the Queen. The Ministers and Cortes are quarrelling—the Queen refuses to see either—a change of Ministers is expected—everything in the greatest confu sion, and, 1 fear, likely to continue so for some time. " An Aide-de-camp of the Prince was arrested the other day. The Prince offered to be responsible for him— it was refused !" BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAP BRUSSELS, AUG. 6.—On the 4th inst. Baron d'Arnian, the Russian Minister at this Court, had the elndi to his hs ot' i presenting his letters of recall w hi c h put an end mission, and on the same day the Count dcGalen pre sented his credentials as Ensoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, in the room of Baron d'Arnian. The divers'of the Dart continue to work. They have just got up another cannon, a 24-pounder, and also a brass cannon weighing 1,180 killogrammes. We learn from Antwerp that the accident which hap pened to the dyke of B orgerweert i s ent i re ly repaired ; the part of the works that was swept away b . - the water now carried even highe r th an t h at w hi c h rema;vid uninjured. Baussrms, AUG. B.—Their Majesties set out for Spa this morning at nine o'clock, with the officers and ladies of the household. The Camp at Beverloo for the first period broke up on Saturday. The troops set out on their 'lurch to return to their respective garrisons. The troops that are to succeed them arc also on their march. Yesterday the last stone was laid of the Sarcophagus in the " Place des Martyrs," on which the statue of Liberty is to be placed. The subterraneous gallery round the monument will prob a bl y b e comp l ete d b y the fetes of Sep tember. Two blocks of marble recently received from Italy are for two of the genii which will be placed at the angles of the Sarcophagus. HANOVER, JULY 29.—The rapidity is remarkable with MALTESE CLAIMS. The following is a translation, from the Italian, of a sum mary of the principal grievances of the Maltese, and or their remedies, presented to his late Majesty's Commissioners of Inquiry, John Austin and George Cornewall Lewis, Esqrs., sitting. at Malta, on the 15th November, 1836, by :01117 Members of the Maltese General Committee on behalf of that body, in consequence of a memorandum given by tit e Commi ss i oners t o M r . Mi trov i c h on th e 3d of the said month, as per document marked (A) hereto annexed, which Committee, on the occasion of the arrival in that island of the said Commission (19th October, 1836) was freely elected by the people of the two islands, Malta snd Gozo, as per document marked (B) also annexed, for the purpose of ex amining and supporting the claims and the interests of the Maltese nation on that important occasion, agreeably to the Maltese Petition laid on the table of the House of Com mons on the 7th June last year, viz.:— GRIEVANCES COMPLAINED OF BY THE MALTESE. 1. The Suspension of the National Council. 2. The suppression of the Representative Magistracies. 3. The union of three Powers in the same person, viz., Legislative, Judicial, and Executive. 4. Confusion in the Laws. 5. Defects in the Judicial System. 6. The want of a free Press.* 7. The maladministration and abuse of power in the various departments. 8. The extravagance of salaries in some offices. 9. The exclusion of the natives from the principal offices. 10. Pensions incompatible with the resources of the Island. 11. Pious Institutions and Foundations. 12. Public Instruction. 13. Restrictions on Trade. 14. The Monopoly of Grain. t 15. The dependence of the Sanita. 16. A burthensome and misproportioned system of Duties. 17. Damages sustained by the Maltese through the ca pitulation of 1800. 18. Misery ! REMEDIES PROPOSED BY THE MALTESE. 1. Its re-establishment, or its formation according to actual circumstances. 2. The formation of Municipal Bodies (Corpi Commu nail.) _ _ _ 3.. The separation of these powers, and the assimilation as much as possible to the form of Government of Great Britain. 4. and 5. The necessity of new codes has been acknow ledged, and the compilation of some has already been or dered, as well as the publication of others ; but there are reasons to believe that, on account of various defects, they will be found inadequate to the present wants, and with regard to those already published may be named princi pally the want of the extension attic Jury—modelled on that of England. 6. (Now under discussion !) 7. A better organization, adapted to actual circum• stances. 8. Reduction, and a more just partition. 9. Admission of the natives to the same. 10. A reduction in the heavy pensions and a more equi table distribution. 11., That the . will of the founders be accomplished. 12. The diffusion of elementary instruction and a liberal system in the scientific branches. 13. A free port and facilities to all the mercantile branches. 14. A free trade of grain, and a duty on the same, fixed. 15. An independent board of health. 16. The diminution and a more equitable distribution of duties—and their independence of the executive branch. 17. Their indemnification. 18. Encouragement to commerce, to agriculture, and to industry in general, and the promotion of all possible means of affording subsistence to the poor. N B.—The Malte,e,liorrever, consider the principal and . . the most lamentable grievance of all to be the want of their popular council ; and they are waiting with anxiety the fulfilment of the promises heretofore made to them by his Majesty's representatives ; therefore, they look forward, as . . the - first and the most efficacious remedies, to the re-csta blishment of the said Council (or Legislative Assembly,-- to putting the concession of a free press into execution, — and to the extension of Trial by Jury,—modelled on that of Great Britain. Other grievances will, as opportunity offers, be stated anti detailed. DOCUMENT (A). Memorandum for Mr. Mitrovich ‘(tielivered to him by his late Ma;cNtv's Commissioners of Inquiry). 1.

The members composin the Maltese General Com mittee, according to specific lists delivered to his late Ma jesty's Commissioners of Inquiry, on the 29th of November, 1836, were 97 ; the number of whom was afterwards aug mented to 100, by the annexation of other corporations— elected by the free suffrages of the people to the number ,712, out of a population of about 120,000 souls, viz. : Electors.l Electors. 53iNotahilo (City) and its La*yers Nobles Notarics Solicitors, &c 35 Zeitun „ Clergy Merchants, &e ll2 Physicians, Surgeons, and Apothecaries Traders in Manufactures ( Drappieri) Masters of Vessels B4 Brokers Carpenters 223 Asiciack „ .. 97 Nasciaro „ Musti. f, Zabbar „ Curmi ~ Siggicui „ Birchircara ~ Crendi --• 152 91 •• Tailors Gold and Silversmiths, and Tarxien „ ......

The subject of the press was investigated by the Commis sioners of Inquiry in the month of November last ; but, not withstanding his late Majesty's gracious concession, which should have been put into execution forthwith, it has not yet been established in the Istmd. The monopoly of grain has been abolished, the Govern ment Minute dated Malta, April 7th, 1837, states thus : " His Excellency the Governor, was pleased to notify, on the 10th of January last, that no further purchases of wheat would be made on Government account, for the purpose of maintaining a reserved stock of grain. " In thus departing from the system which had been pur sued fro:111h opening of the corn trade in 1822, and in leaving the entire supply of grain to the private trader, his Excellency has deemed it expedient to remove all obstacles to the im portation of grain, which are not indispensable for securing the interests of the public revenue. " That no additional duties will be collected on grain im ported in foreign vessels ; and that the duties now payable on grain imported under the British flag, will be payable on all grain imported into the island, and released for consumption. UNITED STATES. (From the New Fork Herald.) JULY 12.—There is a large mass of gold and silver in the country, on which to build up a new and a better system ; and, what is a remarkable feature in the present condition of the currency, the specie begins to flow back from Europe to the United States. During the last month we have sent large amounts of specie to England. By our latest accounts from that quarter it is evident there is no great or pressing demand for specie there. If before the large amounts should reach England the specie begins to return to us what will it do during the next month ? One of the great causes that forced the specie towards Europe was the derangement of the exchange system, founded on the southern cotton trade. There was enough cotton and other produce in this country to prevent any remarkable export of specie—and possibly to have sav e d the banks from a suspension of specie payments ; but in consequence of the failure of the great cotton exchange houses, in New Orleans and New York, in the middle of March, the great current was broken up—th e c h a i n was snapped in twain—and nothing could be got but specie. In the 01fiprd, 30,000 dollars in gold came back. This has been sent to seek an investment in cotton in the south. The derangement of our internal exchange is so great, and the depreciation of the local currencies so remarliabl, that a man with specie in his power can go into the market, and make a fortune. " It is an ill wind that blows nobody g00d.," A fresh series of very profitable speculations have started up on the present state of the currency, which will remain only - till the irredeemable paper: system- makes a final explosion, From the symptoms already visible in specie operations, we should not be surprised if the sound and solvent banks were able to resume specie payment pari passe with h~ action of the next Congress. JULY 13.—At this moment an immense; an‘impt of the .foreign debt has be.‘n liquidated, tini,in:edree Month); we• should not be surprised to see are x of ',specie :own) this country. The condition and p ,s:pects-o"the &Aron market are most encouraging. ; h an d i n country, as will apecar by the annexe, • 250,000 bales, which may be set dow Jars cash, at nearly the present prices. • - ',•':4,ti4ta slight advance in price, which may be pro urg ing prosperity, its aggregate value will exceed brat amount. Take this in connection with the remittances in specie al ready made, and the diminution of imports, probably equal to 50,000,000 dollars, and there cannot he a doubt hut the foreign debt can be cancelled in less thr.o three months. Under the present state of' affairs, shipments in cotton are rapidly making to Europe. A Lew set. of shippers have come into the market, and great operations are going on, which will turn out very profitable to these•coneerned. It is said to be the poSitive intention of the - Govern ment, during the next Session of 'Congress, to compel the deposit banks to refund every dollar of the debt they owe the Treasury in specie, or to pass very severe enact ments against the delinquents. The - eighty deposit banks are entirely in the hands of 'Congress. Their charters, ill deed, are granted by State • legislation, but Congress can compel them to refund the whole surplus- revenue in specie, or crush them for fraudulent conduct. It is probable, how ever, that this catastrophe' may be avoia.f:d, if they fortify themselves so as to be able to resume qiecie payments in September or October next, when Congivis meets. juts- 14.—The fall of the American bymses, the refusal of the Bank of England to assist them, and the great con sternation in London up to the sth of . 1 . - Inne, are powerful reasons to apprehend that we have not 'heard the worst. At home strange things are enntinuinK - to come to light. A new currency, to the. amount of nee three millions, has been issued by the Government at 14%•isbingtori to pay its dues, and made receivable in payment of Custom-house duties. Here fsllows the form of one of - these new Govern ment bills, or Van Buren shin plasters :-- No. 222. No. 5684 Issued on Treasury Warn-cit 1000 dOIS. TREASURY OF THE UNIiT7. 7 .D STATES. At sight pay to the order of Martin. VAR Boren [for valuable services rendered the people. of the United States in improving the press and the ctvrency], Agent, ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS. _ Registered. WM. R. RA:Nry , Lpti, Acting Treasurer of the U. States T. L., SMITH, Register or!tile Treasury. Bank of America, New York. They are paid out to the offieers of the Government for their mlaries, presented to the bank on which the are drawn, and the specie required. • Protct of course follows, and they are thrown into the market.. Being made re ceivable at the Custom-house they are of course more va luable than bank bills, but not equal to specie.. They are now selling in Wall-street at 7 per cent. premium. Thus Mr. Van Buren and his whole tribe of qffice-holders only lose from two to three per cent. on their salaries, while the people, receiving suspsnded bank bills, exper.ence a loss of from ten to twelve per cent. Cunning rr en! The revulsion throughout the world has diminished busi ness to one-tenth the amount of former dim-I. Vie will only state one fact illustrative of this view. The sales of real estates made by the Messrs. Bleecker, auctioneers in the city of New York, as reported to the comptroller were as fellow :—For the quarter ending the 30th of June, 1830, 5,091,328 dollars ; for the quarter endilig 30th of June, 1837, 270,008 dollars. This reduction exists more or less in every avenue of business. Of course, in two months, the foreign and domestic trade of the old and nrnv world will ha reduced to the ratio of a healthy currency, founded on suffi cient amounts of the precious metals. In this country we only want a good national bank to set, us entirely on our legs again. .Tuts 17.—We have interesting news front Liverpool, two clays later than our previous dater. The 'Euglish prints are loud and bitter against the commercial integrity of the United States. By_ the time they learn dm whole extent of their losses they will moderate their anger. Up to this day the aggregate amount of specie remitted to 'England since the suspension cannot be fir short of 6,00CV00 dollars, perhaps more. The houses and institu tions by whom these sums have been sent are the Messrs. Browns, Prime, and Co., Goodhue and Cc., and probably Biddle and Co., of Philadelphia. The United States Bank has also been a ship; er, but small in amount in comparison to its liabilities. - This institution has confin:.(l its remit tances principally to cotton and other produce, through agents and third patties. • In spite of the clamour of the Liverpool press, the Eng lish mercantile interest will lose more money in consequence of their own measures operating on the pricos of cotton, than from the intention, or wish, or purpose, of our mer chants to defraud them of their property. Tice commercial interests of both countries will lose awfully ; but recrimina tions are uselese—regrets amiable. The exact state of things in England is yet enveloped in mystery. There arc deep and tearful forebodings that the re-action from across the water•upon this country will again be disastrous. It is very evident that the Bank of Eng lund, in supporting, for a time, the American trade, was merely covering its own Directors, who had, as individuals, become entangled in the affairs of the London houses. As soon as the Directors got clear the Bank cut. the connec tion, and universal ruin was the consequence. The sym pathy and magnanimity of the Bank of England, like that of any other Corporation, dwindles, therefore, to a mere point, visible only through a good microscope: The condition of the English Money Market is feverish and interesting. The American houses were connected with one hundred, or more, houses over the kingthim. Many of these houses gave guarantees to prop up the Lon don houses. What is to be the fate of the whole ? This we have yet to learn. This is settled, however ; we shall have a radical revolution in the commercial system, by which the business between Europe and America in fu ture is to be transacted. In London, Liverpool, New York, and New Orleans, there has been a tendency fur a few years past to concentrate business and exchanges in a few large houses and establishments in each of those cities. The good old commercial system of driving a large foreign trade among a number of small but steady houses, the heads of each capable of attending to the de tails of each, has been overpowered by overgrown mono polies, and great houses, and establishments of unwieldy size, structure, and movement. No single mind could grasp, with accuracy and insight, the multifarious business of the Wilsons, the Wildes, the Wiggins, the Hermanns, &c. When vast pecuniary engagements are trusted to clerks or agents how easy it is for indolence or carelessnes to over look the leading points of a just policy? In furtherance of these views, and growing out of the present revulsion, we learn that the house of Barings, and perhaps others, intend to contract their business hereafter to proper dimensions. Mr. Bates, the active partner of the house, connected with the American trade, it is rumoured, will leave the concern. Other deep-rooted chang es and al terations are on the carpet , which will place the American trade in Europe hereafter on a better footing than it has been for many years past. The day of overgroivn mono polies is drawing to a close. Business will be divided among a number of healthy, active, business-men, in such proportions as they can manage with skill and effect. It is, perhaps, owing to a strict adherence to the good old principles. of commerce, that several of our foreign houses in New York, those especially we have mentioned, Goodhue and Co., Browns and Co., Ptime and Co., have been able not only to weather the revulsion, but to lay the foundation of a b etter system, that will hereafter enable us to reconstruct our foreign trade and exchanges, and place them on an impregnable foundation. In our internal affairs little 'change has taken place since our last. The politicians of all parties, by whom our ex cellent banking system was debauched in 1828 and 1829, still continue their efforts to destroy all the principles of justice, and efface all the morals of commerce. The Treasury Department gave directions to the col lector of this port, three weeks ago, to make a statement of goods and merchandise in the Alin stores, and th e cas h duties accruing thereon. The statement runs nearly thus : Goods, wares, and merAandise in public .. 1 9,750,000 dolls. 1,989,000 . . da a 'ac : 3; C r i u. p tin.l a .g 3 .e, . thereon in specie. Failing to comply importers will be required to take out CashtheseFltnordageuos.fto.ci goods with this demand, the whole amount of goods will b. thrown into the market, and sold for what they will fetch, to pay the duties. What is to be the effect of this course on the prices of goods, and on the temper of the mercantile com munity ? Notts ve: TOM. Dollars are in great request among the old kinds and chiefs of the interior of Africa (we quote Laird and Old field's narrative of the last expedition, just published), who use thorn as rings for the fingers. They first drill two holes about the centre, iuto which they insert a circular piece of lead for the finger, the surface of the dollar being on the upper part of the baud, like a seal. At a sale of the live acid dead fanning stock . of Sir Heathcote, Bart., this week, at thusley Park, the auctioneer annoutites that a refreshing prelude will be on the table at .tleven." COAL HOLE TAVERN STRAND.--This 01(1 esta blished and highly respectable place of public amusement con tinues to draw from all quarters. It is crowded every night by Noblemen and Gentlemen, who, we need hardly say. 'evinet , the highest• graific4iOn front the. well conducted and unrivalled convivial meetings.
