FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1828. le We have this moment received the Gazette Prance of yesterday, by Exp re ss. The tieh rec e i ve d f rom th e th ea t re o f war i s not o f 14 importance. The Russian army is still i‘ alt ing to pass the Danube till the w a t ers su b s ide. he troop s are marching towards Bosnia and Ser ..l4nd the Russian fleet has gained an advantage 44 4 napa, where it prevented a Turkish fleet Ying proNisions, ammunition, and troops I, II C I O prisoners w e r e t a k en , w ith s i x stan d ar d s . th e e l were bombarding Anapa for 13 days : 1 , 0 z aubourgs were already destroyed. It is re ar that the -French Ministers have re lired.—The French Funds on the 18th were , to per Cents., 104 f. 45c; Three per Cents., . 1 ' 55e. , v • e by no mean~ intend to connect the two , 11 1 1ta together, but there is undoubtedly a re ,i44table coincidence between the late conies -43 of Mr. COURTENAY in the House of Ntnons, and the establishment of an Oppo- It in L ondon University, under the patronage of buke of WELLINGTON. Far, however, from to throw cold water on so highly merito- C t an undertaking, we sincerely rejoice in every t : lt sion of the fitciiities for improvement, and that not only his MAJESTY'S Ministers, t he whole orthodox population of this me 41'°Iis will derive from it those elements of li Ned ge which now seem t o b e regar d e d as for the Cabinet. But if there be any in our surmise as to the immediate 1 Meet of the Institution, we make no doubt k t : by a General Order, Messrs. FITZ -I,ii4Lb and COURT NAY will be forth- directed to attend a course of Lectures til e Doctrines of Free Trade. Nor will • , t ny that this plan is far preferable to which we took th e lib er ty to suggest. . k‘ t4 tl of being at some quiet retreat, near the where their existence m i g h t b e entirely i tb tlt teu, both the Right Hon. Gentlemen may occasionally at the Board of Trade, and ClAatically announced in the C our t Ci rcu l ar A ll ing transacted business there. With the ''l )t 4t lee of the clerks in the office, men far than themselves, the impulse It o vi the machine has received may keep it 1 4, t he for some time, and a dignified silenc e t : t. est of this Session may go far to remove ni4 tunate impression produced by the pa the blank sheets. it se,_ she "ens by the Irish Papers th a t one of the eta of blank paper" is not likely to repre ma,tlY longe r th e C o unty o f Cl a , e . What „ to , i 'listry w ill d o i n suc h a case we cannot 14 e , but we would warn sonic of the humbler 1.1) 7 1 tu of Treasury seats not to be very much hashed at receiving « marching ordeis."— %a n r 3 ' h overer, they will make him Lord Wm—though even this would rather mar the arrangements, as every one knew before Mr. COURTENAY'S explanation, that the Right Hon. President of the Board of Trade was se lected by the Duke, not for any—the slightest knowledge of our Commercial Interests, but be cause of his oratorical powers, which are con sidered superior to those of Messrs. GOUL BURN and HERRIES. In another column will be found some news from Portugal which has been received to the 10th inst. There is no news from Oporto, but we may hourly expect to have some from that interesting quarter. It appears that Don Mt- GUEL has been preparing a gran d arm y to marc h against the Constitutionalists, but he had made little progress when the last accounts left. He was t o place himself at the head of this force, which does not amount to more than 3,500 in all, part of which is disaffected, and will no doubt march over to the Constitutionalists whenever an opportunity offers. In the meantime MIGUEL is publishing proclamations to the people, which are received with great coldness. It was reported that a portion of the advanced guard of the grand army had fought a battle with the Constitutionalists ; but it turned out that they had quarrelled among themselves, and the knowledge of this at Lisbon was highly prejudicial to the cause Of MIGUEL, who seems to be is a desperate condition. Should he be able to stand against the Constitutionalists, a civil war must be the consequence, but we strongly think that the approach of the Constitutional Army will upset all his plans. Lisbon was in the greatest confusion, and much alarm was felt for the safety of British subjects and property. German and Russian Papers have been received, but they contain no additional news of any importance from the East.— They merely detail the arrival of the EMPEROR at Brahilow and the progress made in besieging the fortress. The news came down'to the 26th ult., at which time the fortress had not sur rendered ; nor had the passage of the Danube been effected. The Election for a Burgess to serve in the present Parliament for the Borough of Ware ham, in the County of Dorset, in the room of the Right Hon. JOHN CALCRAFT, who has accepted the office of Paymaster General of his MAJESTY'S Forces, will take place en Monday next, the 23d instant. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TirRLYR o' CLocir. We have several arrivals this morning. His Ma jesty's brig Tyrian, from Vera Cruz, left the 30th April, and the Havanna!' the 10th May ; also a Leeward Island Mail, letters not up till to-marrow, and two Lisbon Mails. The packet from Vera Cruz has on board about 300,000 dollars for Arehants' account, but not one, for the Government. —The arrivals of most importance are the Lisbon mails, which have been so anxiously looked for by the public, by which it appears that the accounts from Portugal are not of a cheering description,as according to the last arrivals by the packets, Count Villa Real, Count Cunha, Marquis and Marchioness of Valencia, and several other persons of distinction, all Constitu tionalists, have taken flight and arrived in this country, by which it is to be inferred that Don Miguel's party is too strong for the Oporto Govern ment, and that a civil war is on the eve of its com mencement. This gloomy state of affairs in that un fortunate country has caused a fall of 2 per cent. in Portuguese Stock this morning.

TWO LIVES LOST. This morning, between three and four o'clock, the neighbourhood of Battersea was thrown into the utmost consternation, in consequence of a dreadful fire which broke out in the house of Mr. Spirit, baker, of Battersea-square, which, we are sorry to say, ended in the d e st ruc ti on o f f our houses, and fatally to two persous, namely Mr. Spi r i t an d his wife. Mr. Spirit, his wife, and servants, proceeded to bed on the preceding night, at 10 o'clock, after having, as they thought, extinguished all the fires and lights in the place. At the above hour, the watchman of the beat was alarmed by a strong smell of fire, and on going in the direction of Mr. Spirit's premises, he observed large bodies of smoke issuing from the window, at the lower part of the house. He instantly gave an alarm and sprung his rattle, when the whole neighbourhood was alarmed, and several indi viduals began to break the shutters, on which the flames burst through with great violence. Shortly after the fire commenced the distiller's engine ar rived en the spot, and was soon supplied with water, but its efforts, although every exertion was used by the persons working it, were sot sufficient to cheek the devouring element, which had in about ten minutes after it began raged with such fury that the flames communicated to the adjoining house. The Phoenix, the Sun, the British, and several other engines, soon arrived, and the contiguity of the Thames, furnished a plentiful supply of water. By their powerful exertions the flames were soon got under, and the neighbourhood and the lives of other individuals saved. The flames, however, reached two other houses, which were mate r i a ll y damaged. The house of Mr. Spirit and that of hi s a dj o i ning neighbour were completely burnt to the ground, together with the whole of the property. During the conflagration the most anxious enquiries were made after Mr. Spirit and his wife (or daughter), who slept in the upper part of the house, and who were not seen during tlie whole of the timse, and the greatest fear was entertained that they had fallen victims to the raging element. About half-past five o'clock the workmen commenced to search the ruins fur the unfortunate sufferers, and the first thing fbund was a dog, and in a few m i nutes after wards the}' t tlie bodies of Mr. Spirit and his daught er , un d er arms, is.l,ti legs,l ii . l amid the passage, aissoagfeboth being compl e t e ly b urnt off;, in a most mutil a t e d state, the they w ere carried to the workhouse piecemeal in baskets. It was rumoured there were more inmates in the house than was at first supposed, and that others were missing, and the workmen still continued their labours with unre mitting exertion. We have since writing the above made every inquiry, and as far as we could ascertain, the rest of the inmates escaped. Up to 12 o'clock this day no more bodies have been found. The premises were nut insured, and the fire is supposed to have broken out in the shop, 1 but by what means is a mystery. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MOUSE OF LORDS. The Lord CHANCELLOR, the Earl of ELDON, Lords REDESDALE and MANNERS, and some other Peers, attended this morning to hear the further ar guments in the Wellesley case. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed their Lord ships on behalf of the respondents in his usual strain. of impetuous and lofty eloquence. The speech of the Learned Gentleman appeared to produce a great impression, and occasionally some amusement in the House. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. LYNDRAY V. PERCY. This was an application by Mr:HORNE, for an order compelling the defendants, who are the personal re presentatives of the late Earl of Lyndsay, to pay into Court the sum of one thousand pounds, which they had received under the following circumstances : Shortly after the death of- the testator, the Earl of Lyndsay, his representatires finding that the assets in their hands were not adequate to the payment of his debts, applied to th e C oun t ess o f L yn d sa y f or her jewels, which they conceived were part of the personal property of the testator, and therefore liable to be administered. Lady Lyrtdsay being very anxious not to part with the jewels, agreed to pay to the defendants the sum of 1000/. in lieu of them, and the present application was, that the money so re ceived might not be paid into Court. Mr. SUGDEN, on the part of the defendants, woald not oppose the application, as far as respected the sum of 10001., although he had instructions to resist the motion in its original forM, which required that a much larger sum should be paid in. His HoNouß directed that the 1,000!. he paid into Court within three weeks: THE KING'S THEATRE. • BERNALSCONI V. WATXRS. _ This was an application by Mr. SUGDEN on behalf of the plaintiffs, the assignees of the Messrs. Cham- bers, for an order to enlarge publication. The Learned Gentleman stated that his clients had consented to allow the defendants to put in an amender • and, as the answer so p ut i n b y them consisted of 800 folios, it became necessary to revise the interrogatories which had been previously prepared. He assured the Court that his clients, so far from seeking for delay, were most anxious that the cause should come to a speedy hearing, as, until it was decided, they would be unable to sell or dis pose of the King's Theatre. After an Ineffectual opposition from Mr. WHEATLY, His HoNotllt enlarged publication until the second seal after term. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. SALE OF A CADETSHIP. THU KING V. SUTTON, DESPARD AND OTHERS. This was an indictment against the defendants for the illegal sale of a cadetship, in the East India Com pany's service, to a person named Bach. The trial which took place at Guildhall on Thursday, the Gth of March, was fully reported in the SUN of that day. It will be remembered that alkthe defendants, except Captain Despard and Captain Prescott, pleaded guilty to the indictment, and the Jury returned a verdict of guilty against Despard, bat acquitted Mr. Prescott. The COMMON-SERGEANT ROW move(' the Court on behalf of Captain Despard, to set aside the verdict on the ground of a mis-trial, one of the jurors on the trial being an alien, and by the 3d section of the Act of 6 Geo. IV. c. 50., it was enacted, that no person who was not a natural born subject of the King, should be qualified to serve on Juries, unless in cases where the party under trial being himself an alien, required to be tried by a Jury composed of an equal number of English Men and Foreigners. Mr. Justice BAILEY—What do you think would be the consequence if a person served on a Jury who was excommunicated by the spiritual Court, or was otherwise disqualified? ' The COMMON SERJEANT—My Lord, according to the Jury Act, I should contend that it would be a mistrial. Mr. Justice BAILEY—What would be the con sequence Mr. Common Sergeant if the Jury had been all aliens, and returned a verdict, after they had been sworn and not challenged ? The CommoN SERGEANT: this would also amount to a mis-trial. The Act of Parliament says, that no person could serve on a jury who answered to the disqualifications pointed out in the Act. Lord TENTERDEN was of opinion that the cir cumstance of one of the jurors being an alien might have been a good ground for challenge at the time, but it was no ground for disturbing the verdict. The jury being special, the defendants had an oppor tunity of finding out who the jurors were, and of challenging, if any cause for challenge arose. The defendant not having taken advantage of this oppor tunity the verdict must stand. It was also worthy of remark, that if this was a mis-trial as regarded Capt. Despard, who was found guilty, it was also 4 mis-trial as respected Captain Prescott, who was acquitted; and if the Court granted the rule now applied for, it would be competent for the prosecu tors to come into Court and ask for a new trial on Capt. Prescott. The other Judges concurred in the opinion of Lord Tenterden, and the rule was refused. The judgment of the Court was then moved by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL on all the defendants, and a number of affidavits in extenuation of their con duct, were put in and read, on behalf of the several defendants. The affidavits having been gone through, a conver sation took place as to the right of the Counsel fel he defendants, who had suffered judgment by de ault, to be heard in reply. The COURT, however, decided that, as in ordinary cases, the counsel for the prosecution should be heard in reply. MT:BROUGHAM then proceeded to address the Court on behalf of the defendant Despard, raid will be followed by the counsel for the other defendants. The case is expected to occupy the Court until its rising. THE ARMY. A detachment of the 62d, or Wiltshire Regiment of Foot, has been removed from Templemore to Cappaghwhite. A detachment of the 12th, or Prince of Wales's Royal Lancers, has been ordered to march from Canterbury to Uxb►idge. The 72d, or Duke of Albany's own Highlanders, will embark at Gravesend for the Cape of Good Hope, about the `, 296 or 30th of the present month. The last division of the 58th, or Rutlandshire Re giment.of Foot, will embark in a few days for Ceylon, from Portsmouth. Detachments of Recruits for his - Majesty's forces serving in India, marched from Westminster this morning for Chatham. The Masquerade of to-night, at the King's Theatre, is expected to exceed all others in splendour that has been given this season. INSTINCT OF RATS.—A farmer's wife in Cheshire lately caught a rat, and being determined to make an example of the culprit, as a terror to the species, with which her house was much infested, bb o took the fol lowing barbarous method. She put it into a covered iron pot which she placed over a brisk fire ; she then went into a place of concealment from whence she could observe the vessel that contained her martyr. he cries of the sufferer soon brought into the room a numerous assemblage of rats. Each testified its rage and distress ; five or six ac tually climbed to the pot lid, and tried by every means within the power of instinct to relieve the poor victim, When the screams of the sufferer ceased, the rats dispersed, , and, strange to add, n ot t h e l eas t ves ti ge o f t h ose verm i n HAUT TON.—The grand Ball at AlmaeL s, has since been seen in the house. We cannot help think on Wednesday evening, was by far the most splendid we ing that the rats on this occasion displayed infiaitely inure have witnessed this season, being atter - oh:el by Royalty and . of hu man feelityg than the wretch their torturer.—ilion the first circle of fashionabler, chr,ter NEWG ATE AND LEADENHALL MARKETS.

The supplies of all sorts of Grain this week are mo derate, but of Flour the quantity is again good. Wheat finds a very heavy trade at Monday's prices. Barley is iu very limited demand, and hardly maintains its late quota tions. In Beaus and Pease there is no alteration in value. Good sweet Oats are the only kind that meet a fair sale, all other sorts are extremely dull in disposal. Flour con tinues very difficult to quit, unless perfectly fresh. ARRIVALS. Barley.

PLANTATION SUGARS—There has been but an indifferent show of Sugars in the market this week, and the buyers, who last week purchased extensively, have been much less active in their inquiries ; for shipping, however, there has been a good demand, and a few transactions have taken place ; upon the whole the market must be stated flat this week, al though the former prices are fully supported; the flatness however in the West India market tray in a great measure be attributed to the large quantity of Mauritius Sugar brought forward by public sale, t h e quantity offered this week having already ex ceeded 11,750 bags, and the importers having shown an anxiety to effect sales; the parcel offered on Tues day being principally of very inferior soft and brown qualities sold heavily, and at about Is. lower ; but that of yesterday, consisting of strong brown to good coloury grocery qualities, sold very briskly and in some instances at rather higher prices : upwards of 7,000 bags more are advertized to be sold to-morrow: 150 !ids. Barbadoes were also sold by public sale yesterday, and being wanted by the Grocers went off at very full prices. D,livered last we from West India Docks, 3,552 hltds., 359 try.

RUM.—The market is less buoyant than it was, and not much disposition evinced to purchase unless at reduced prices. CoFFEEL-The quantity offered by public sale this week, consisting of 693 casks, and 287 brls. and hags Plantation, has gone off very heavily, and prices have barely been supported ; nearly all the Do►ninica ;aid St. Lucia was bouplit in : for coloury Brazil there has been a little demand, and some parcels have been sold a 38s. a 54Qq.

HON.—The accounts to-day from the plantations are in general much more favourable, and the esti mated amount of duty remains at 150,600/. The Hop market is stationary. In SALTPETRE there is little or nothing doing for home consumption, and some large expo tations to Continental markets have recently taken place, in the hope of finding a better sale th ere . Th e p resen t price is from 225. 6d. to 235. Refined is steady at 30s. per cwt. THE SILK TRADE.—In an unreported discussion in the House of Commons on Tuesday morning, we understood the Chancellor of the Exchequer moved the continuance of the present law for one year longer, regulating the duties relative to the Silk Trade. This branch of our manufactures still re mains without animation, excepting for light goods. Turkey Raw Silk retains the late advance, being quoted at 14s. 6d. to lbs. per lb. East India Raw Silks bear the last sale prices. . THE WOOL TRADE.—There is a pretty regular demand for Wools, but prices do not improve. The manufacturers are busy, the low rate at which they can obtain the raw material inducing them to en large their stocks. Nothing has occurred to induce the belief that the evidence taken before the Lords Committee will occasion any alteration is the duty on the import of Foreign Wools. IRON.—The Iron trade is heavy at present, British bar not fetching more than from 71. 10s. to 8!. per ton. At the commencement of the year, from 91. 10s. to 101. per ton were realized. Sales are reported even so low as 71. per ton. RUSSIAN PRODUCE.—The commercial letters from St. Petersburgh to-day, state that very little was doing in produce. Tallow was on the decline, being quoted at 99 rubles on the spot, contract 97. Here the price is 365. 6d. to 365. 9d. per cwt. In Bristles there is a good deal at present, but prices are not improved. COTTON.—This market has been deprived in some degree of the energy lately displayed, and sales are reported on rather lower terms. The public sale of Surats on Tuesday, went off from 314. to 4/d. in bond. Surats run from 3id. to 5d.; Dengals to 41d.; Egyptian 64d. to lid. '(From the Calcutta Price Current, Jan. 14.) ENGLISH GOODS.—Woollens are dull of sale. Cotton goods are in demand. Muslins are improv ing in value. INDIGO.—The demand for Indigo is exceedingly brisk. The Americans, French, Armenians, and Arabs buying freely; about 80,000 maunds have passed the market. OPIUM.—The market has been cleared of this article. SUGAR meets a ready sale.

The veteran Grimaldi takes a long, farewell on Friday-, the 27th lust., at Drury-lane Theatre. In the reminis cences of our happy boyhead, who stands so forward, and associated with so many cheering recollections, as this once exalted idol of the laughing little : and we who have laughed long and loudly at his drollery, are suddenly re minded of our approach into the vale of years by his chill ing, advertisement for u farewell benefit. Farewell ! Are we never to see him any more?—never again to hear hint sing a duet with a love-sick oyster, or cock canary-bird ? —shall we no more hear his chuckling and supplicating, " May I?" to a never-to-be-cheated pieman ?—are his pkirsaeatci memories?c a lt acting. g s a . tir e H,s e ve} l o at n te i t la h s e iu) follies l oor How go t w- h e e da n cha r m ingly e d y r • m t s b h t e t p t rl i ev a voe o un tr l i have knocked down a churchwarden and bathed his temple, for his recovery with rose-water ! How delightfully he would have illustrated intellect in all its marches ! How nobly he would have sold his grotesque body to an ana tomist, and how actively he would have twirled somersetA in the next scene; as if invulnerable to the assaults of death ! Many a heart is now cold that once bounded with delight at his whim ; many an eye that sparkled with jay at his appearance is now clouded and slim with cares and anxieties of the world ; and many are far far away who would willingly advance to aid the retiring genius of their happy days, But, let a mere portion of those who vividly recollect his excellence, and still rejoice in the retrospect of his heart-stirring humour, come forward to his support, and we are certain that he will deliver his address of thanks to as crowded and as lamenting an audience as ever conbk grace a theatre. Poor Joe! We will be there : may till* be echoed by hundreds. * We heartily concur with our correspondent, hoAl4 in the feeling and topics of his panegyric on our pleasakr old friend. His departure will, as Dr. Johnson said, " eclipse the gaiety of nations."— Times. There is now in the possession of Mr. JAMES Scow, of Braintree, a bottle, containing part of a lioe•. ; _ head of beer brewed in the year 1741, by Eruu-oNn Sarrxv, Esq. of Market Downham, Norfolk, ihterided to, be drunk at the christening of his first-born, which was a son. A part of this beer was bottled and deposited in a ' vault—there to remain until the father's deatlx which happeped about 12 years since, at the good 014 age of 87,, —At that time 20 bottles of the liquor we found, and, ' notwithstanding the length of time it hAtl been brewed, was in high perfection.—Essex Herald.. On Sunday morning se'ntught, a shocking case of self-destruction was discovered in one of the woods vrtst of Auchmull. The infatuated individual was R. Ithr.rtir, a pensioner and carpet-weaver, and the weapon of destruc tion was an old musket, which he had borrowed from a neighbour, whose name he had written with chalk upon the stock. It appears that in order to etl:ect his purpose, for which it is supposed be had prepared himself by intoxi cation, an empty spirit bottle being found close by him, he had taken off one of his shoes and stockings, and pat his great toe into a loop formed upon the end of a string, which was attached to the trigger, and by this means had literally blown hits head to atoms. Some swan shot was found in his pocket.
