FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, .dated Nov. SO.) TRIESTE, Nov. 13.—We havenews from Eg ina to the 19th of October. Count Capo D'lstria had rettirned from Poros to Egina, and had announced in a Proclamation, that in consequence,ythe obstinacy of the Porte, the three Allied. Powexs would recog nise the independence of Greece. - Lord Cochrane had also arrived at Egina on board his brig, and had immediately an audience. with the President. Private letters from Egina say, that in consequenc e of the late events in Candia, English and . French vessels were blockading Canea. The accounts from Alexandria, ‘vhicli come doww to the 23d October, say that the Viceroy had dis patched to Constantinople, tinder a neutral flag, the provisions which the Sultan had required of him. Ibrahim had gone with his father, to stop some days in the country. FRANKFORT, Nov. 23.--We hare letters from Vienna which may be depended upon, and which say Silistria still holds out ; and that - though closely pressed, there is no appearance that it will surrender so soon as was expected.. It was reported at Vienna that disorders had manifested themselves among the troops of Count Wittgenstein's army ; they are attributed to the heavy rains which have fallen in the countries on the Danube, and to the bad quality of the provisions. An assembly of Diplomatists is spoken of, for the purpose of making peace between the belligerent Powers. PARIS, Nov. 29.—We have reason to believe that Hanoverian troops will not be sent to. Corfu. As for the boundaries of Greece, it appears from authentic information that the Powers will not in• elude in it any more than the Morea and the Cy- clades.

MinneeToN, Noy:.. 27.--During: the. course of last summer, Messrs. AndreW and Wilde coal miners, of Hathershaw - Moor and 'deemed it expedient to construct a rail-road front] their works at the latter place to the Lodge, at Middle ton. The road was directed to a valley. called Boarshaw Clough, where it was Jet unite .two rather precipitous banks, and 'cross .a:shallow, but rapid stream. At this place fpue e pdlars of ; stone-work were erected for the e exterpoeeeof sntepoetinie, the, beams whereon the rail e epedeeves-ece i he edtitm4ecle The first pillar was fi e yarele:frerri ,the - eeSteriebenk, the second pillar was 24 - yards frorh 'tlie said hunk, the third pillar was 34 , yards' frbm the same place, and the fourth pillar .54, re 'that betwixt the third , and fourth pillars was a spteee'of VOyards, whilst the depth from the surface of the road to the stteam be. low was nine and a half yards;: an,(l from the fourth pillar to the abutment en .the western side 'was another space of 10 yards. On these rested beams of pine 13 inches by 61,a'nd Move them - were laid strong planks of the same - description of timber, to which were attached the rails, whereon the wag. gons were intended to run ; on each: side also were hand-raile, for the security of those passing_it. The pillars were each about . eight feet by six et their base, and`four f(cet by three, at their, top, and the timber-work was beim! together - , and strengthened underneath by rods of iron an inch and 'a half in diameter, screwed into blocks of cast metal, and distended in the centre of each space by a piece of iron adapted to the purpose, as the strings of a violin are by the bridge. Many persons,' since the reetion of this scaffolding, had, in-treading it, experienced a considerable vibration, e.:-.pecially;betwixt the third and fourth pillars, where the spa,ce-atia.4 7 twentyyards;, but, as it ha4l been erected, and approvral.Pf by, per sons who were considered competent to judge a its secirity, there was uo prevalent apprehension of danger, To-day, thtleibre, betwixt the hours of one and two o'clock at 'Won, a horse, drawing ten w aggons, each containing about six hundred weight of coal, iipproached this bridge, The son of one of the proprietors (Mr. Haigh, of Chadderton) was the driver ; he.. came on at the eastern end, and was followed by a young led of the name of Raworth, who seated himself on the first tvaggon, behind the horse ;.and. two ether young fellows came after the last waggon. The }Teeth led his horse boldly forward ‘ nntii he cattle upon_ the space betwixt the third and fourth pilla rs, when the tioar was observed to shake. He' drove smartly across, and having gained the fourth pillarecast his eye back to see the effect of the full weight on its centre. He heard a crack---felt it going beneath him ; he then twilled past the heed of his horse,, god, as he quitted it,. all went down beie:nd. Of the two young fellows, who followed . the waggons, one, John Johnsen, was taken out of the stream, with his brain protruding .abowe his eye.; he has since died; the-other, Robert Cheethene, received a fracture. of the elbow joint; and Robert Haworth, who sat next the horse, miraculously escaped with luxation of the. wrist, and tralight bruise on the head. Voting' Haight held fast by the railings, and came down . unhurt; whilst 'the horse, a tine young bay, worth 4 0 guineas, was flung upwards_by the sudden j erk, head over heel s , and fell dead at the foot of the fourth pillar. , It appears that the other day the same driver and horse had passed with. six waggons of coal, after which the youth was directed to 'bring ten; under scaffolding , gay, that weight the way, when the horse, the waggon s, and three yeuniemen, were pre cipitated a depth of nine yards. - ' The planners of the structure were con fident of its ca p eeee. to b ear almost any weight ; and o ne of them proposed that it should be called " the little Bangor,' in allusiou to the great chain-bridge at Bangor-ferry. The reliance was placed on the rods beneath the' beams; they were an inch and a half in diameter, and, passing into strong blocks of cast-iron, were screwed up as tight es harp-strings; but on exami netion of the wreck it appeared that two of them had broken off dose to the bolts whiCh had. held them, the beams then gave way with a dxeadful crash, and the whole spszee on which the horse and waggons wee'e passing came d own. It must have bent like a willow twig before it broke, since the -whole bridge, was dawn from its originel position three quarters'of a yard. An inquest has been held on the body of Johnsen, and a verdict of "Acct dental death" returned. At the time the accident oecurred, mast of the people in the cottages near were at dinner ; had it taken place half au hour later, robably the scaffold would have been crowded, in which case the consequenee% • must have been too shoeßing to be contemplated„ . . . We stated in our paper, a few weeks since, that his Grace the Duke of Gordon bad made such ar rangements as w ould ens:4? bim to pay off the money bor rowed by his father, on his estates, from a number of private gentlemen in the North, wizigik money is said to amount in all to about 400,000/. We tune now to add, i that we have since heard it reported, and we 1141,7k1 no rea son to doubt the accuracy of ti.e report, that the tci:ste c s of the Earl of Fife have it in .cotlielPPlation.to•pay oii about 130,0001. which had been borroyed in a similar manner.

His, MAJESTY held a Court yesterday at Windsor, at which the Recorder made his Re port of the prisoners convicted at the October Sessions, when the case of HUNTON was decided. He is ordered, with three others, for execution on Monday next. After the respite extended to FENN, it was expected that a merciful considera tion would be shown to HUNTON. But no. The same crime sometimes derives its atrocity, not so much from its own peculiar character as from the character of the individual offender. Purity itself will change colour according to the medium through whiA it is represented. In another column we have given some of the! rumours respecting a change of, or an accession to, the present Ministry, which obtain circulation in certain quarters.' As the meeting of Parliament approaches, the Duke of NV ELLINGTON naturally begins to feel the necessity of making due pre paration for the. campaign. We• say necessity, because his Grace knows his men too well to March through Coventry with them by the first of February. That there are some goad and some clever men in the Ministry, it would be idle to deny, but that all of them are clever and good it would be equally, idle to maintain, unless it be good for nothing." The Duke wants some more able seamen to work the vessel of state— your marines and land-lubbers won't pass muster .in a gale of wind—and the crazy vessel might go down in the storm which is evidently brewing. To meet, or rather to be pi - epar ed for the emer gency the Duke is looking out; and rumour says, has made proposals to Mr. flustussoN and others of the Libeial party. How true we know not, but the fact would bespeak more con sideration in his Grace than he apparently took to get rid of his old friends. The French Papers contain no positive news. The reported fall of Silistria is not confirmed. On the contrary, it is said in letters from Vienna that it not only still holds out, but is likely to resist the besiegers for a long time to roine. The same authority states, that the armyOf Count WITTGENSTEIN has manifested symptoms 'of dis,order, in consequence of the. heavy rains and the bad quality of the provisions. All this may be very true, but we have strong reasons for doubting its correctness, as the source of informatima is particularly prejudiced against Bussia. The wild story of the Russian reverses priginated.in Vienna, and ob tained influential currency throughout. Germany, and subsequently throughout Europe, by means of the secret agency of that prince of Arch-Hy pocrites—the amorous but antiquated METTER NICH. The .destruction of the Russians, at Varna, was not only positively foretold, but actually announced through the same veracious channel of political intriine,..--and behold the result! It must surely appear unpleasant, if not inexplicable, to the Court of Vienna, that the Russians should be raz.l.king some progress nearer home, for the army of General GEISMAR, in stead of being driven out of the Prine;palities, as propec l i vl ed i( , d i in. srifaking serious demonstrations of taking z ilambur g l i Papers of the 26th, and German o f the sth November, have been received.

The Journal of St. Petersburgh, o f 14„, 15, contains a confir mation of the late opera tions of General GE ISMAR, after tl;g sudden evacuation of Kalefat by the Turks. The co ld had set in with grgat severity in the north : wr, WrTERsBURGII, NOV. 12. We have received to-day trt - a.; 3ucharest, under the date of 27th Oct., the positive infornl.ti4P which had been brought thither by an aid-de-camp of tie neral Geismar, of the sudden evacuation of KaJelin by the Turks, wiiz had precipitately retreated to Widdin. As soon as Gen,kral GeiSmar was informed of this unexpected retreat, he not delay for a moment to advance with his troops to Kalefat. Ott approaching the place, it was found that the Tiurks had indeed abandf;ned it, Icv.v4:r.heir entrenchments in the best condition and dic; fortifications , aisadoed, so that they were able to hold out a sieg:, Whatever may be the cause of this prec;pitato renTat, the taking of Kalefat i, very important, on NOVEMBER 14.--Up to the 10th Nov. 1,262 ships had arrived at Ctonstadt. Up to the Bth, 1,186 had arrived at Riga; and 1,089 had sailed from that port. Isaacs-bridge was removed this morning, because t here is ice in the Neva. According to the last accounts from Lisbon, which are to the 23d ult., Don %Gum. was not dead, but his situation was considered as being very precarious. The bone of his thigh had not then been set, and the swelling continued to in crease in a very alarming degree —so much so, that doubts were entertained of his ultimate re covery. In the meantime, the QUEEN was busy concocting intrigues. She was exerting allher influence to be proclaimed Regent, in order to be the better able to take advantage of any favourable opportunity which might arise for promoting her ambitious designs. She, how ever, met with considerable opposition. Should Don AEG um, really die, we have no 'doubt the old QUEEN will keep his death secret as long as possible, the better to mature her plans. It appears by letters from Rio Janeiro of the 10th September, that the EMPEROR honoured the French Admiral by visiting the flag:ship, at tended by the Minister of Marine and part of the Court. Due honours were paid by the French squadron, and the EMPEROR appeared highly gratified, having partaken of a dinner on board, at which he drank the health 'of his most Christian MAJESTY. Letters from Toulon, of the 22d Nov., say, that another convoy with provisions, and three regiments, are to proceed immediately to the Morea. Gibraltar Chronicles of the 13th ult. have come to hand, and we are enabled to confirm the favourable accounts received yesterday ; heavy rains continued up to the above dates, and the virulence of the fever is fast on the decline; the wind has continued westerly for the three last days. No mention is made of the illness of the Lieu tenant-Governor. The following is the report from the Inspector Medical Office : Nov. 10.—Remain ill, 622 ; admitted, 85 ; dead, 15 ; under olwervation in camp, 25. Nov. 11.—Reinain ill, 509 ; admitted, 40 ; dead, 12 ; ❑nder observation in camp, 25. Nov. 12.—Remain ill, 581 ; admitted, 25; dead, 71 under observation in camp, 25. We have been favoured with the sight of a letter from Gibraltar of the 13th ult., which mentions that the Bullock boats had come over from Tanjiers, and that the British Consul had struck his flag on the 12th ; but the Moors would not permit him to embark. •There were two English sloops of war and one bomb vessel off the place at the above•mentioned period. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWFLVE CLorr. At a period of the year when money matters have always been difficult in the City, it is with concern we see brokers ready to give birth to rumours of events of a disastrous nature to public credit, and it is to be regretted that these imprudent whispers are the very means of creating the evils they deprecate; in spite of these forebodings,. however, the English Funds continue to support a firm and rising price. Consols opened this morning at 86.1 for money, and 87 .4- for account', the market has since risen to 87i a for time; the Commissioners gave 86i. India Bonds are 65 7.; and Exchequer Bills, 62 4 pm. In the Foreign Funds Colombian Bonds have been done at 2 , 14; Russian, 96 ; Portuguese, 55 i; the last accounts give reason to believe the people of . Portugal are goaded by the arbitrary proceedings of the Miguelite Government to such a pitch as must shortly cause an explosion in that unfortunate and at present wretched country..

This morning the first meeting of the creditors of the firm was held at the Court of Commissioners in Basinghall-street. For more than an hour before the business of the day commenced, the Court, in which the meeting was held, was crowded to excess by parties having claims on the firm. A great number of Country Bankers and . others were present. — Among the debts proved were the following :—The Chichester Bank 49,000/., a sum of 49,000/. by a partner in a country firm, whose name was not distinctly heard; the Woodbridge Bank, 93,000/. and several others, varying from 15/., to 100,000/. The proving of debts is proceeding. One of the partners of the Chichester Bank stated that he came up with 30,000/., and offered it to the Messrs. Fry and Chapman, if they thought that would be suffi cient to keep them from suspending their payments, but the offer was refused. There were a great number of Quakers present, and one of the partners of the firm of Fry and Chapman is in attendance. The interest excited is very great. Mr. MOLINE complained of the refusal he had met with on a request to inspect papers at the banking-house.. Mr. Commissioner HUDSON stated, that before the assignees were appointed no creditor could demand a sight of any paper whatever. A few more debts were .proved,"and the bank rupts being severally called upon by the Clerk of the Court, appeared and surrendered themselves. The oath was dispensed with in the cases of Wil liam and Thomas Fry. Mr. Chapman was sworn. The creditors then arranged amongst themselves to have a private meeting this afternoon, and the business of the day was concluded. TILE MARKETS.-(TIIIS DAY.)

CITY MARKETS-(TWO O'CLOCK.) The Colonial Markets are in a very inactive state, and no revival -is expected until the commencement of the new year. The great difficulty, which indeed is on the increase, of obtaining discounts on Commercial Bills, still operates" , against any extensive business being done either in the Co. lonial or other Markets. The total delivery of Sugars from the West India Docks ,last week, did not exceed 2,856 Hhds. and l Tees., and as there were landed about 1800 I-Ilids., the stock yester day was 410 44 Hhds. and-2,604 Tees. Senrcely a bar gain has been made this morning, and prices are nominally the same, though with a tendency to decline. In Refined goods, business is transacted from 6d. to 19. lower than early last week. Coffees are also drooping, hut no decline can be noticed since Friday. _ Smarm—The transactions in Rum are on -a limited scale. Best Leeward proofs cannot be quoted under 2s. 6d. There is a little more inquiry after Jamaicas, 20 per cent. over proof fetching 3s. 4d., 25 per cent. ditto 3s. 64. to 3s; 74., 28 per cent. ditto 3s. 104., 30 per cent. 4s. to 4s. 4d. per gallon. Brandy is in request, to complete ex port orders; first mark 3s. 24. to Sc. 3d. The delivery of Rum from the docks last week was 531 puns. and 24 hhds., of which 187 puns. were fur exportation. The stock yesterday stood at 19,616 puns. and 1,487 hhds. THE TEA SALE.-The Company's sale, which com menced yesterday, is proceeding with vigour, and 6,500 chests were disposed of yesterday. Inferior Bolles.; yester day averaged Is. 7d. to Is. Bd. The finer sorts this morn ing realise 2s. to 2s. od. per lb. The sale will not con clude. fiir some time, perhaps a fortnight. 'ln INDIGO, SALTPETRE, and RICE there are scarcely any transactions to notice, and prices are uuvaried. Thefirst mentioned remains dull. Olt.s.—There is inure doing in Oils, and prices are a shade higher. Greenland is quoted, at 26/. 10s. per tun. Rape at 42/, and Linseed at 18/. 15s. per tun. COTTON.—Scarcel y 'anything doing. Swats, 3d. to id. ; boweds, 7d. Egyptian, 73,d. per lb. Batvic PUODUCE.—The delivery of Tallow last week was 2,657 casks. The present stock of Tallow is 23,000 casks. At this time last year it was 43,000 casks ; the former being at 38s, 6d. per cwt. Bristles rather better, 12/. 10s. to 131. for first. St. Petersburgh Tallow this morning is higher, viz. 395. 3d. to 395. 6d. ; speculations for a rise going on in consequence of the short stock. CODURG THEATRE. . . A very laughable Burletta, entitled Love and Anatonw, was last night produced at this theatre, for the tirst time, and met with the most marked suc cess. It is one of those light little pieces which cannot fail to amuse, abounding as it does with ludicrous incident, and dialogue by no means desti tute .of spirit. A new melo-drama was also brought out, being one of the preductions,of the fertile pen of Dibdin ; and this also met with a very favourable reception. We perepiye that Mr. A. R. BOWES, the box keeper, has annodiaced his benefit for to-morrow night, with a bill of fare such as has been seldom presented to the good folks at the Surrey•side of the bridges. We regret . that the delays in our Courts of Equity should have driven this gentleman, whose father was at one time High Sheriff of Northum herland, ap,d.Member of Parliament for. Durham, to the necessity of tami ng a benefit at any theatre ; but as he is compelled to do so, notwithstanding his high e xpectations, we trust th at t l' e 'public, who have so often profited by his attentions as box,keeper at the Coburg, will patronise him on this occasion accord ing to his merits.

At the sitting of the Court this morning these defendants, who were convicted yesterday of a fraud and conspiracy, on an indictment preferred by Mr. William Baldey, were brought up for judgment; but upon being placed at the bar, the Chairman said the Court was not yet prepared to pass sentence, they must therefore remain in custody till the adjourn , Ment day. , , _ Mr. Northhouse- 7 lt was my intention, Sir, to have moved an arrest of judgment, to give me tim e - to produce affidavits, which will completely disprove the statements yesterday made against me. • ‘ CHAIRMAN-*The Jury have decided that point, by finding you guilty. Mr. Northhouse—l do not find fault with the ver dict of the Jury on the evidence that was adduced, they acted right, but if I do not satisfactorily dis prove it, I hope the Court will sentence me-to the heaviest punishment the law allows. I Will prove that Lord Rossmore is one of my best and warmest friends, and his Lordship and Mr. Hume will make affidavits that they stated, previous to the paper commencing, they were not partners; I will more over prove that the , prosecutor wrote to Colonel Jones and Mr. Hume to inquire if they were con cerned with the paper, and that both those gentle men returned an answer that they were not, and this took place before the bills were given. Mr. PHILLIPS—Not one of those questions were asked yesterday, and it ought not to be allowed. Mr. Northhouse is only making a statement, that it may get into the newspapers. . Mr. Northhouse—l feel called upon, Sir, to make this statement. These proceedings deeply affect my honour and character as a man—and, God knows, I have served many, but never wronged an individual. I have been more sinned against than sinning, and the good I have done to others has sel dom been repaid. I will prove that at the meeting at the Feathers Tavern, at which Mr. Baldey was present, Dr. Sutherland read letters from Colonel Jones and Mr. Hume, which must have .shown him that they were not partners ; and at a subsequent meeting, at the Kendal Tavern, at which also he was present, the resolutions were read over, and he signed those very resolutions, one of which stated who the partners_ were; and with respect to his statement respecting the stamp duty, it was quite wrong. " I will,' said Mr. Northhouse, ap parently labouring under strong emotions, "prove the manifest falsehood of the evidence on which I have been convicted ; if I do not, I hope the Court will visit me with the severest penalties of the law, for my honour is concerned ; and much rather would I sacrifice my life than honour. I only ask for one week." CHAIRMAN.—WeII, then, you will have a longer time than you ask for; the adjournment day is on Thursday fortnight, and the Court will remand you till that time. Mr. Nortlihouse.--I thank you, Sir. Mr. ALLEY trusted the Court would allow the. defendant Low to be discharged on hii own recog nizances' to appear to receive the sentence of the Court; he was in very destitute circumstances, and had a family of seven small children, and his wife every day expecting to be -brought to bed of an eighth. Mr. PHILLIPS, for the prosecution, could not agree to that—a large family was no excuse for a man to commit crime. If it was, the poor man, whom he saw by the papers was ordered for execu tion, probably would not have suffered. He must likewise ask the Court, that Mr. Northhouse might be committed to some Other custody. He was at present in the Fleet, on a civil process, but if he paid the debt he might escape. Mr. DuNN--Oh, there is no fear of his paying. the debt, without your knowing it, for he is a prisoner at the suit of the prosecutor. CHAIRMAN--YOU can lodge a detainer against him, Mr. Phillips. The conversation here ended, and the prisoners were removed in custody, and or , dered to be brought up' for judgment on the adjourn ment day. The Nun was afterwards occupied in hearing cases of assault, all of which were of a trumpery nature, and in most of them the defendants were acquitted. A report was prevalent, in the early pant of the morning, of a mercantile house of some celebrity being about to stop payment, but we trust that it will turn out unfounded. Certain it is, however, that an extensive branch of trade connected with the North of England is now in a precarious state, and several houses connected with it are pretty openly talked of.—Morning Paper.

The practice of paying wages in goods, instead of the current coin of the realm, has become so prevalent in Bolton and the neighbourhood, that the shopkeepers, butchers, and others, have come to the determination of forming an association, for the purpose of putting a stop to this illegal system.

It is stated by a correspondent of a Sunday Paper, that, on attending Marylebone Church a few Sun days ago, he was surprised to see only three boys from the parochial Charity School attending ; and, 'upon inquiry, learnt that all the rest had run away. The extreme vigilance in detecting thieves after they have"committed depredations, compared with the apparent indifference to any thing like a preventive system, is a practical illustration of shutting the stable door after the steed is stolen. Those who have the charge of Lincoln's Inn must be impervious to reproach, or they could not permit the pavement of the large quadrangle to remain in the dis graceful state in which it has long been.

STATE OF TRADE AT BOLTON.—During the last fortnight the trade in tine cambrics and jaconets has been very dull, and it has been almost impossible to effect sales.
