A large quantity, of specie was Collected there for the pur- pose of being transmitted to England, and only waited for the appointment of a vesseof war by Sir Ifome Popham to convey it. Great appre hensions were entertained by the merchants of Kingston, respecting the enterpriseof Sir Gregor Macgregor, which, it was expected would operate to the detriment of their commerce with the Spa dish Main, and cause some of the ports to be shut against them. The holders of Bank Stock, generally, remain ing firm, very few sales were effected yesterday; the pike consequently has not materially de clined below that of Tuesday : it was believed, however, that any attempt to sell to a large ex tent would not have failed to depress the market: No bargain was, done yesterday below 237. The funds were heavy all day, chiefly owing tr, the abundance of money stock. Consols for the ac count and for money left off at 711,—(ibid.) , [Morning Chronicle.] None o► the Papers of yesterday noticed the circumstance of Mr. Peel having on Tuesday postponed his notice, which stood for Monday, to Friday, the 21st, for taking into consideration the Report on the Bank. He did it immediately after the ballot,, before the Gallery was opened ; consequently the' circumstance was .unknown to of the lleportets. [Morning Post,] The King v. John Kinnear and Others.—We understand (says a Correspondent) that this great and important question, as to whether a Jury, after having been once sworn, can atterwatds be legally discharged and permitted to mix with' the public, and to go to their respective homes pend ing the trial, will be forthwith brought, by writ of error, before the House of Lords for de- cision. [Morning Herald.] The effect of the Reports relating to the Bank are already apparent, both as relates to the fo reign exchanges and the prices of bullion. A very_ considerable rise has taken place in the "exchange, and gold, which was lately four pounds two shil lings per ounce, was quoted at four pounds and sixpence. Stocks have declined a little. Con sols for money and for account on the 26th in stant, and for the opening in July, are all the same price, which shews a great opinion of a further decline. If the Bank do not take in the next Oninioni , of Loan, that is . to say, paying the last instalments for the public as usual, no large loan could be contracted tor except at a very low rate'. LITERARY REVIEW. A SKETCH of MODERN HISTORY, from the Destruction of the Western Empire, A. D. 476, to the close of the Year 1818. Togetlierwith a Concise View of the Rise and Pro gress of the Arts and Sciences, and of Civilization in Eu rope. To which is added, A. Comprehensive Table of ' nology, ifoni thO Creation of the WOrld to the Present Time. By A.,PIQuoT, Author of Elements of Universal Geography, Tables of Comparative Chronology, &c. Few sciences are more generally attractive than istory. It gratifies, the eager curiosity of toe outhful mind, and affards ample food for the me itations of maturer age; whilst, by laying before us an interesting picture of former events and present transactions, it enables us, in Some mea sure, to remove the veil which conceals futurity from our view. The importance of History being once admitted and duly appreciated, some deg'' of merit must be allowed to the writers who labour o simplify its acquisition. A woik professing to give us' a correct sketch of the rise and fall of Empires, and an accurate delineation of the politi- cal storms that have, at different times, agitated. the Globe, must necessarily prove useful, not only as an elementaiy book for the student, but also as a manual for the more proficient scholar. Such is, however, -the difficulty of #training perfection a this branch of Polite Literature, that we must itherto have sought and have rested satisfied with the least imperfect °V the Historical Abrid ; ;;,einews that have fallen under our observation s Under this impression, we., think ourselves justified in calling the attention of our Readers to the Work before us, a work which promises to become de- , servedly.popular, and which, though wiitten with out any avowed pretensiont to Ornamental dic tion, is elegant, nervous, and perspicuous, through out. ,The narration is rapid, generally speaking, and .though compact, is sufficiently clear, as well as amusing and sat ist actory. The period of time which it embraces has judiciously divided into eight epochs, of which the last contains the, most compendious/and-perhaps the most interest ing sketch of the Rise and Progresso!' the French Revolution, and of the wars arming from• it, that has yet been presented to the Public in an abridg ed form. Upon the whole, we have not, for a long period, .met with a work more complete in itselti more gratifying to the Reader; ',and more useful to all ranks 01 the people who have leisure acquaint themselves with the history of the Civilized World, the revolutions of States,the un- certainty of life, and the dangers of ambition; or that holds forth more salutary lessons to Govern ments and individua4, on the vicissitudes of hu man affairs, and the necessity of acting upon prin ciples of justice, prudeoce, and integrity. In fact this work, in form, substance, and utiltty, is an Historical Fade Mecum, which the Scholar should possess as a book - of reference, the Philo . sopher for reflection, and Rellders in gene; al for amusement and instruction. We therefore coal dently anticipate a speedy Second Edition of S' work of such merit and ingenuity, and recom mend it not merely as elementary, but' adapted to the information of the more experienced historical Reader, whose attention may be recalled to va rious matters of importance that might otherwise have escaped from recollection. The work it dedicated to Jout SYMMoNS, Esq. of Paddington House, a Gentleman whose taste for the Fine Arts, learning, talents, and f iat nonage of Genius, are too well 'known to require any eulogiuna on the present occasion. 'DREADFUL ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, Mr. Edward Binns, upholsterer, of .Viount-street, Grosvenor square, went to one of his, houses about to be let, at Westbourn•terrace, in the Harrow-road, it} a luggage-cart, which was standing at, the door, when the horse, which was young, becom ing restive, Mr. Binns attempted to stop it by seizing its head, to give time to Bill, West, a young map who was in the cart, to jump out. — The latter, in his confusion, neglecting the op portunity, was thrown against a wall and killed on the spot, Mr. BMus also was .knocked clown, and the wheel went over him. Happily a skil ful Navy surgeon was in almost immediate at• tendance, and we hope that Mr. Binns, who has a wlie and large family, is.nearly out of danger.
