FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, April 29. ) " BUCHAREST, APRIL 10.—Though a great deal has been !aid of the advance of the Russian troops for the 13th, and though it is even affirmed that the order for their de parture has been seen, fixing that day for their entrance into the Principalities, it appears that on the Bth no prepa rations had been ohaerved in the Russian cantonments which indicated that they would so soon depart : people, indeed, pretend to know that 20,000 men will pass the Pruth, and that the military operations will be confined for the present to the occupation of the Principalities. These, however, are but reports that require confirmation.— Augsburgh Gazette. " CORFU, APRIL 1.-Accounts deserving of credit say that Varnachiotti Hisios, and other captains, have joined the Greek corps at Dragomestre, which is very shortly to advance towards Arta. Captains Eogos, C,olylidos, and the Sturnaris, are also ready to join the Greeks as soon as the latter approach their districts. The following is presumed to he the plan of the expe chtion into Western Greece:—. " The corps at Dragomestre, reinforced by another which is expected from the Peloponnesu., will advance to Cassanochario, where it will divide into three columns ; the centre will occupy that place ; the right will extend towards Gotista, and the left to Lakes. Small vessels are prepared to enter the Gulf of Ambracia, and support the left. It appears that Alissolonghi and Anatolie° are on the point of surrendering to the Greeks. Prevesa and Arta are net in a condition to make a long resistance. The Se a'askier is at Janina, where he is in want of money. The inhabitants of that country are treated with humanity, and no extraordinary tax is imposed on them. Orders have been, indeed, given to make a general recruiting of all the Christians in Rutnelil, but the reason is not known. Ibra him Pacha is at Modon, and his departure is still spoken ef. Three envoys from the Sultan are expected at Egina, who come to propose to the Greeks an armistice of three snenths. It is supposed that Count Capo d'lstria will refer them to the Allied Powers. " An English ship of the line has arrived here with troops from Portugal. A bomb-vessel of a new construction has also arrived, with four howitzers and a large cannon in the middle ; each piece is served by SO artillerymen. These vessels, and others of the same kind, which are expected, are said to be destined fur the Dardanelles.—Notizie del Gionw. " THLESTE, APRIL 16.—While the President is exerting himself with so much activity for the happiness of Greece, Ibrahim appears to have no other wish than to quit the .iNforea, and return to his own country. It is said that all the preparations have been made in the Egyptian army for the embarkation, and the fortresses still held by the Egyp liana are to be delivered up to the Turkish troops. This sitcurnstance gives reason to presume that the Pacha has listened to the remonstrances of the Powers, and sent in structions to his son.—Rid. -..—.-..- .„ Pa Kis, APRIL 25.--The Nuremburg Correspondent atfiruis, in an article dated from the banks of the Danube, that the Russian troops, if they occupy the principalities, will remain there in the position they take up till th.. Porte consents to fnlfil the treaty of Ackermann. No flintier hostilities will be committed, unless that power s'efuses to listen to the language of reason. Mean time the efforts of the Ambassadors at Constantinople are still directed to the preservation of peace. " The Florence Gazelle announces, under the head of Malta, 4th April, that a Russian courier had suddenly brought orders to Court !Leyden, to sail immediately for the Archipelago, to act there conformably to his instruc tions ; but that he had not been able to depart immedi ately, because the Russian ships are still in need of repair. -" Shocks of an earthquake were felt at Rome and Fhirence in the night of the 10th of April. TLey were inure violoit and of longer duration in the latter capital, but without any had consequences. At Forli there were 18 shocks in :our days. The same phenomena terrified the inhabitants a Ancona, Pesaro, and Sinigaglia."

SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE.—Between six and seven o'clock this morning, the following disgraceful scene took place in Covent-garden :—Two, elderly men, appa rently in a state of intoxication, were followed wider the Piazzas by between twenty and thirty young thieves, who began to hustle them front one to another. Several other yagatainds joined the crowd, and the two men were not only ves . y ill treated, by being frequently thrown violently on the pavement, but every person who passed ran the same risk. Several of the market-carriers, of both sexes, with heavy loads on their heads, were thrown down, and the contents of their baskets scattered about. The pre sence of two or three street-keepers would have prevented such scandalous proceedings. • MURDER AT TULLOW.—We learn, with great regret, that an itinerant musician, named APNExt, has been murdered at Tallow, on the fair day. It would seem, according to the account we have received, that the poor man had been simultaneously called upon by two dif ferent companies in a public-house, for their respectively favourite tunes—and that, while in the of indulging one of the companies, he was brutally attacked by an in dividual of the other side, and literally strangled.— Carlow JVlorning Post. ANOTHER MURDER 1N TIPPERARY.— KILLENAI'LE, APRIL 24.—1 am sorry to acquaint you, that on Sunday night an aged man, of the oame of DAVID CUNNINGHAM, was waylaid by nine men near Ifellenpark, who beat him in so savage a manner, that Le survived but till Tuesday. After beating him so cruelly, the perry' threw him over a gate. An inquest has been held on the body by Mr. T. L. BAKER, Coroner, arid a verdict of wil ful murder pronounced against some of the persons con cerned. The police have already apprehended some of them. At the time of the attack,-there was ahoy in com pany with the deceased man, who made his escape-, and knew the entire of the party—three of whom he identified, and they were committed on an inquisition before Mr. T. L. 1 B AKER .--.• Clonmel Advertiser. FURIOUS DRIVING.—Friday afternoon, at four o'clock, as the Kingstown mail coach was proceeding a t a frightfully rapid rate through Brunswick-street, the leaders corning in contact with a fine boy, about seven years old, the son of a labourer, named BRADY, knocked him flown, v, lien one of the wheels passed over his body. On sorne passengers hastening towards the spot, the poor little fellow raised himself without assistance, sta ggere d for a nuarnent—again fell—and expired in a few minutes afterwards, while being borne to an apotheairy's shop close by where the accident had happened.—gaturday evening an inquest was held in the Board-room of College-stn et Police-offici, before Alderman C. P. ARCHER, OW Df the City Coroners, when, after a long investigation, a ver diet to the following effect was returned : -.—That the de ceased had come by his death in conseqtwace of two of the coach-wheels having passed over him; the coachman, JailFs Blismixonast, and Faarmls CRAJG, the guard, not having used due precaution in the discharge of their respective duties. The individuals above named were dis charged from custody, on the understanding that they ap pear this day to be exatoined by the Magistrates touching this affair.—Dublin morning Post. A POLIGENIAN SHOT,—COMMITTAL.— Ten persons have been committed to the custody of the Covernor of the c ounty of Galway prison this day, for wafnlly and maliciously firing at, a nd kiwn .. , ANDREW KRIM, a Sub-Constable of Polk°, at a place :ailed Glana inadha, while in the execution of his duty. The prisoners were escorted into town by a guard of the 34th Regiment of Foot, aided by two Police Constables. Three of them were conveyed on a car, in c onsequence of wounds received on the night of the murder —one of them received a gun-shot wound through the nose ; and the third, a slight bayonet wound through the thigh. This un fortunate occurrence took place on last Sunday night. We have inquired into the origin of this affair, and we find that KERR, the deceased policeman, and his party, had been on Sunday night on duty at Glanamadha, for the purpose of levying a distress ; that perceiving light in the windows of a house in the neighbourhood, they demanded admis sion three or four times, which was denied them; and that the persons inside at length fired through the door, and shot A. KERR through the heart.— Connaught Journal. -DUBLIN, APRIL 29. PRICES OT IRISH STOCI Rank Stock .2505 Consols, 3 per cent. Goy.

Evening.... 3 minutes alter 4. ?-1 9. r / LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 1, 1828. The Gazette de France, dated Wednesday, contains a variety of conflicting news from the East of Europe. One day we have positive assurances of the march of the Russian Armies, and the next day as positive contradictions. The only thing certain is that both the Russians and Turks are unremitting in their preparations for probabilities. The onset of the Russians, if they really mean to invade the Principalities, has evi dently been delayed by the extreme severity of the season and the i►npassable condition of the roads. The news from Greece is not remark able for any novelty. The reported evacuation of the Morea, by the Egyptians, is again the sub ject of speculation with certain journals, b►ut we have nothing authentic. The thing is, however, more than probable. The Nuremburg Corespondent of the 23d April contains the following article, touching the financial operations in Constantinople. It seems the SCLTAN enforces a rigid system of economy, beginning with the SULTANAS, who are put on short allowance; and seizing upon the Savings Bank of the Black Eunuchs, in order to meet the expences of the war. It is calculated that the confisca tions of the last two months have brought 400 , millions of dollars into the Treasury. This is a ready way of recruiting his finances ; but the SULTAN may, perhaps, repent of his rich boast, when the Russians demand their indemnity in hard cash : WUREIII3ERG, APRIL 22. The Jews in Constantinople have received orders to put on the Turkish dress within four weeks ; only the two Court hankers, Comorlai and Isrit are excepted. The French and Italian missionaries must leave the city; the Greeks are suffered to follow their business unmo lested. The court of the Sultanas has been subject ed to great retrenchments, and in general the most rigid economy has been introduced in the seraglio, in order to meet the expences of the war. The Sultan's treasurer has been dismissed on account of his bad manage ment, and his head is in danger. The black eunuchs in the seraglio are obliged to give up to the Sultan all the money they have saved. It is calculated that the colitis cider's ordered by the Government within these two months have brought about 400 minims of dollars into the treasury. The Times of this morning takes a very de sponding view of the Catholic Question, and it really appears to us on very insufficient grounds. One would think that our cotemporary had now for the first time found out, that the Duke of I WELLINUTON and Mr. PEEL are hostile to the Catholic Claims. For our own parts, we are rather pleased with the tone of the Duke's speech. He certainly declared that his senti ments continued adverse to any farther conces sions, bot added, in a very marked manner, that he was equally opposed to any clause or mea sure which should render their condition worse than at present. Now as it is, at least, more agreeable to look at the bright side of a question, we prefer dwel ling on the latter part of this declaration. The Duke evidently cannot be a true Orangeman, if he be satisfied with the present disabilities of the Roman Catholics. A Noble and Learned Earl (to the poisonous influence of whose counsels his Grace was once, unhappily for the country, too much exposed,) doubtless sees the question in a far different light. We are satisfied that that venerable personage would preside at the burning of a Catholic or Dissenter with as much ;:erenity as he ever listened to a Chancery suit, and would imperturbably propose the Sacramental Test to the half-consumed victim of his zeal for the cause of that Divine Being, who has de clared that his " kingdom is not of this world." Those who lave not been exposed to the most formidable and dangerous influence of a colossal, thouzli perverted mind, ought to make every allowance for the Duke and for Mr. PEEL. They should contemplate their rapid improve ment, since they have been removed from that influence, and should hope for their farther advancement in an expanded but safe and cautious liberality. They should rejoice that the spell has been broken, and should not expect (even if they should wish) them to EN at once iwto the equally objectionable extreme of red hot inno vation, But whatever may be the individual opinions of his Grace and of Mr. PEEL, we are quite satisfied that their influence as Ministers neither pan, nor will, be employed in opposing (what may well be called) the Catholic Mints— claims to be citizens—claims to be freemen. In the character of some of their colleagues, we have an assurance, that if that Question is not protnoted by Government infl uence, neither is it to be retarded by it. I n d ee d , any other supposition implies, that one half of the Cabinet are the veriest cyphers, or turncoats, that ever disgraced the Councils of a nation. This state of neutrality is all we w i s h for. We yesterday alluded to the symptoms of sur render in the University of Oxford, the very ci tadel of Anti-Catholic bigotry—and disaffection there is surely fatal to the cause. The capture of the Metroplis is usually followed by the sub mission of the surrounding country. Left to it self, the Question will work its own way ;—but taken up by Government, it would rouse the country from one end to the other. Argument may avail with rational men (many of whom, no doubt, are unfortunately still unconvinced) but what is argument to a religious mob with a tub orator pronouncing at inter vals such words, as " Bloody Queen Mary, Bishop Bonner, and Smithfield fres." For it is inconceivable what a large proportion of the community have undeniable pretensions to the venerable designation of old women—in addition to those who wear the usual habiliments of the fair sex. As to our cotemporary's mysterious surmises about the altered feeling towards the Catholics in a High Quarter, and the causes of that change, they are almost too sublime to be intelligible. If the Times really means that the KING has been set against his subjects in his kingdom of Ireland, by the Duke of CUMBERLAND, we are only sorry to think that our cotemporary has allowed himself to be completely hoaxed by some facetious wag. At all events, by his ac count, the Royal Duke has abundance of work on hand. We were told yesterday that his Royal Highness had come over to concoct a marriage between two infants (if writ ten INFANTS, the story might be credible) and to-day, it seems, he is come over to defeat the Catholic Bill. No doubt we shall hear to morrow of some farther machinations. Brussels Papers of yesterday have been re ceived this morning, from which we make the following extracts. The Dutch seem to accuse the English of stirring up the Javanese to revolt, hut we trust without reason : BRUSSELS, APRIL 27. We learn from Helvoetsluys, that in the morning of the 24th of this month an English ship was stopped by an armed sloop, which was manned by Belgian sailors. • This vessel had a cargo of arms, which it was to convey to Java. (*.)—Le Beige. BltUtiiiELS, APRIL 29. His Majesty has appointed M. .1. Reinhold, hitherto Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Florence, to the same post in Switzerland, in the room of Court Lierigkerke, who is recalled at his own request. His Majesty, by a decree of the 9th instant, authorizes the erection of a steam-mill in the bacon of the eutrepot at Amsterdam, to grind corn, in order to favour the exportation of flour to countries not in Europe; a branch of commerce which, up to 1780, was very consi derable in that city. BRUSSELS, APRIL 26. M. Feburier, a Philhellene, chief engineer of the Isle of Samos, who was last year at Brussels to solicit the Greek Committee to accelerate the Lui!ding of a steam boat of a new construction, has just addressed a letter to an in habitant of this city, dated April 9, from the Laz.zaretto of Espicia, in the Duchy of Genoa. He says, "It seems that Samos, Scio, and Alityline are not to enjoy the eman cipation of which the rest of Greece seems certain. Samos alarmed at this news, has deputed me to the Central Com mittee, at Paris, to request its intercession, if it is not too late. I have lost 58 days by contrary winds. At length I have arrived here, and in 25 days, I shall be at Paris." He adds, that the Samians had completely succeeded in an expedition to the Asiatic Coast to burn large magazines, formed by the Mussulineia of Sola, with the view of in vading Samos. (') England has long been suspected of instigating the troubles in our Colonies. These suspicious, instead of resting on conjecture, begin now to be supported by facts. —Note of Le Belge. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 24th April received this morning, says, on the authority of an article dated Vienna, April 19, that no ac count had been received in that capital of the passage of the Pruth by the Russian Army, in consequence of which the Funds had risen a little, because people entertained hopes of peace being preserved. An article from the frawiers of Bosnia says, that twelve thousand metAad re cently been raised by an order of the Governor, and forwarded to Belgrade and Schabaz, p:o -hably to cover Servia from the threatened demonstrations manifested by the Austrians, who are ready to pounce upon Servia whenever the Russians enter Moldavia. If Austria do not approve of the Russian invasion, her armies, in conjunction with those of Turkey, could effectually oppose the advance of the Russians beyond Bulgaria, if not across the Danube at Rudshuck. On the other hand, if Austria re main passive, there is no hope for the Turks on this side the Hellespont : ♦IENNA, AVAIL 19. Up to this evening no account iias been received of the passage of the Russian troops over the Pruth. The Funds have accordingly risen a little, because people flatter them selves again that the affairs of the East will be amicably arranged. The Marquis de Rezende, who is gone to London, it expected to be here again by the middle of next month. bier .Majesty the Duchess of Parma will arrive here in tile middle of Jour. Metalliques, 89-1 ; Bank Shares, I 014 i . The ityram Gazette contains the following article FROM THE FRONTIERS OF BOSNIA, MARCH 26. The orders issued by the Governor of Bosnia, Abdul Rahman Paella, Vizir of three tails, to the subordinate Capitans and Beys, to assemble a force of 12,000 Turks, capable of bearing arms, has just been carried into effect, and these men have been assembled under their Agas and Beys at Zevornick, Kladen, Vissegrad, and Sarajevo.— Expresses from the Governor of Bosnia brought orders to the commanders of these troops immediately to proceed to Bereska, on the right bank of the Sava, where 44 ships were ready to convey the greater part of this armed force to Belgrade and Schabaz, to be at the disposal of the Vizir of Belgrade; those that remain in Bereska and the neigh bourhood expect the further orders of the Governor of Bosnia. On the 24th of this month the above mentioned ships sailed for their destination. Some of the Mussul men in Bosnia think that this expedition is intended against the Servians, respecting whose fidelity the Porte is doubtful ; others imagine that Moldavia and Wallachia are threatened. A Calcutta (John Bull) Paper of the 3d January has been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. It contains nothing worth extracting, excepting that it was proposed to give a public entertainment to the Governor General and the Countess AMHERST, at the Town Hall, previous to their embarkation for Europe. The subscribers to meet at the Town Hall on the 7th January, for the purpose of mak ing the necessary arrangements. The following letter has been posted at LLOYD'S, for the information of the Subscribers, and is addressed to WM. THOMPSON, Esq. M.P., and Alderman, and Chairman of the Com mittee of that Establishment, by order of Lord DUDLEY ; Foreign Office, April 28, 1828. glit-I am directed by the Earl of Dudley to acknow ledge the receipt of your letter of the 24th instant, in dosing communications addressed to the Committee of Lloyd's, relative to the manner in which the commissions sf the Government of Buenos Ayres, for the equipment of privateers, are procured ; and representing also the plunder of the British vessel, the Morning Star, by a privateer under Buenos Ayresn colours. With regard to the latter point, Lord Dudley desires Inc to acquaint you that the necessary measures have already been adopted, as well by this department, as by the Admiralty, for the discovery of the vessel engaged in that transaction. His Majesty's Government had received information, previously to the date of your letter, cf the irregular man- ner in which commissions for the equipment of privateers are alleged to have been granted by the Government of Buenos Ayres, and instructions were accordingly sent so long ago as the month of December to his Majesty's Minister at Buenos Ayres, and to the Admiral com • mending his Majesty's naval forces in the seas of South America. The effect of which it is confidently ex pected will be, not only to secure British commerce from the aggression of any such vessels which may already have been commissioned, but to prevent the issuing of commis.. sions in the manner complained of by the Government of Buenos Ayres, for the future. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, (Signed) J. BACK HOUSE. The Paris prices of Monday evening have arrived. Three per Cents. 70f. 15c. ; Five per Cents. 102 f. 65c. A fourth number of the Canton Register, dated the 14th Dec., 1827, has been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. TARTAR WAR.—We have heard that official papers of the 24th Nov., from Pekin, mention that his IMPERIAL MAJESTY has lost great numbers of officers and men, who have gone in pursuit of the Mohammedan rebels. The Go vernment troops have been recalled from Cash gar, but the pertinacity of the rebels rendered their return impracticable. Private letters say that considerable anxiety is felt at Court about the final result of the existing hostilities. Dur ing the march of the Imperial Army to Cashgar, 2000 convicts had been transported to E-le, and attached to the camp as followers, they are to be rewarded with their liberty at the end of the war. The Shang-tong Province is represented to bfi in a state of great disorder from banditti in this mountainous district, and are so nume rous as to render it necessary for the Govern ment to give extraordinary powers to their officers to inflict summary punishment on the offenders, and avoid the expense of hundreds of prisoners.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, Twars o' CLOCK. The depression which took place in the English Funds yesterday caused a more than usually numerous attendance of the speculators and jobbers this morning, who met, in consequence of its being a holiday, on the Royal Exchange ; considerable curiosity was felt to ascertain the cause of the sudden depression, and it is now stated that the Hebrew party, who had been acting for a rise, had sold, in order to realise their profits. Consols were, in the early part of this morning, done, in private bargains, at 85k, and went to 8.5! ; the nearest price is now Eisi, with a firm aspect.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. Upon Mr. Bruce again mentioning his case to the Court this morning— The LOAD CHANCELLOR said it was his intention to hear the case further (Jn Monday morning next. His Lord ship some time after this wished to know whether it would he convenient to Mr. Bruce to attend at six o'clock on Monday morning, and proceed with his case till ten ? Mr. Bruce said he did not think he could attend his Lordship so early. His I.ORDS/lIP asked if seven o'clock would be too early. Mr. Bruce thought eight o'clock was quite early enough, as it would not take more than seven hours to read his affidavits. His LORDSHIP said if it was not convenient fur Mr. Bruce to attend early, would it be to stay late in an evening. Mr. BRUCE had much rather come early in a morning than attend the Court late in an evening. He was al ways exhausted in an evening, and would be unable then to proceed. His LORDSHIP supposed he must accommodate him, however inconvenient it might be to himself, and said be would come down at eight o'clock on Monday morning, and hear Mr. B.'s case till 10 o'clock, so that it might not interfere with the regular business of the Court, and then some future day should be appointed for its further hearing. Mr. Bruce, with this understanding, bowed to the Court and retired. MILLWARD V. ATKINS. Mr. HORNE begged respectfully to request the Court's early judgment in this case. THE REV. PHILLIP CHAMBERS CHAMBERS V. JESUS COL- LEGF, Or FORD. In this appeal, which was specially appointed for this morning, Dr. LUSHINGTON, the COMMON SERGEANT, Mr. BROUGHAM, and several other gentlemen, attended. Dr. LUSHINGTON stated, that this was an appeal by the Rev. Phillip Chamber. Chambers, against a determination of Jesus College, Oxford, expelling him from the College. The circumstances were of a peculiar nature, so peculiar the Learned Doctor thought it should be heard elsewhere. Mr. BROUGHAM said he, on the part of his clients, had no wish for any private hearing, they had nothing whatever to apprehend from its being heard publicly; at the same time, if the other side wished it, he could have no objection to its being beard privately. His LORDSHIP thought upon the whole, it would be better it should be heard altogether in private. Hi. Lord ship meant by that to say, he did not think it should be published in the newspapers. His LORDSHIP then retired into his private room, for the purpose of hearing it, and we understood it was extremely likely to occupy the whole day. HIGH COUfIT OF DELEGATES.

COUNTY LUNATIC ASYLUM. A Meeting of the Middlesex Magistrates was held to-0 at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell. In the absence F. Const, Esq., the DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN took the Ch' lf After some desultory conversation, it was agreed tb', the minutes of the p rocee di ngs at t h e l ast Meeting 40" be read over. After the report respecting the selection' a ecite fur the County Lunatic Asylum, the Clerk pt` seeded ceeded to read the second Report, which had been r by the Committee s i nce the last Meeting. fit . Report went on to state, that the Magistrate at their Meeting of the 17th of April, having fixed limited the sum which the Committee were to expend the purchase of lands as a scite for the erection of a Cog 9 _! Lunatic Asylum, at 12,5001., th e C omm i ttee again eaterr7 into negociations with the Earl of Jersey, for the purchase': forty-four acres o f f ree h o ld l an d at H anwell, and fillsl,4l purchased the land s i n quest i on f or t h e sum of 11,0001 It being at the rate of 250/. per acre, f ree of great and stow' tithes and l a nd•tax. U n d er t h e terms of the agreeroll the Earl of Jersey is to give immediate possession of sti t e part of the lands, as m i g ht b e d eeme d necessary for t'l4 commencement of the building, and the remaining part t ' be delivered up at Michaelmas next. Mr. BstourinTum moved that:rich petitions as have been presented respecting the erection of the Luna° Asylum should be read by the Clerk. A petition was then handed in by Sir:J. Barouas fro° the Rev. Mr. Wars"ley, the Rector of Hanwell, the Bo' Dr. Collins, of South Hall, and several other persons fe' siding in Hanwell and its vicinity, complaining that if intention of the Committee were carried into effect, HO: well would, after a short time, be overrun with pauper" and that every person possessing, the means of retnovioi would desert the place. Sir JOHN Brynozs, in support of the petition, If, sure' the Meeting th a t t h e so il near Hanwell convey,' sound " like a lug of wood." The Worthy Aldertno° stated many instances in which both he and gardeoe t heard noises under very extraordinary circumstances< Good God ! then, (continued he) are the persons trail' ling along the road to Oxford and other places to ba shocked by the sounds of mad people. We all, I am sure, r e collect the old Bedlam, and the indecent souudswilichwel constantly issuing from it, an d I am sure t h at an arrifitis measure, which may he resorted to for the purpose of pr e : venting the transmission of sound, will prove who'' , ineffective. A long discussion ensued, as to the propriety of el selection of Hawed, as the smite for th e Asylum ; finally, Sir GEORGE FARRANT moved, and Doctor OW 67 '' seconded a r es oluti on , to t h e ef f ect that the volt' °f 12,500/., made at the last Meeting was informal, ine much as notice had not been given of the intention t' ) apply for the grant, parsuant to a rule entered into by th' Magistrates. The feeling of the Court seemed to be adverse to th e motion, although several Magistrates had declared tbat 10 their opinion the Committee had been too precipitate in 0 " tering into the contract with the Earl of Jersey. [The Meeting had not concluded when our Palm- wen t to press.] MEETING OF THE HOLDERS OF soUTO AMERICAN SECURITIES. A Meeting of the Holders of South American Bond s wits held this day at the City of London Tavern, at 00 o'clock, pursuant to a requisition, signed by several Holder° and publicly advertised in the papers. The meeting v‘ s ' very respectably attended, and BARING, Esq., M.P. was called to the Chair' The CnatamAN addressed the meeting, but it was irr possible to hear a single word he uttered, he spoke in ' l° low a tone of voice. Mr. G. R. ROBINWN said, he had to submit some Re solutions to the Meeting, and in doing so, he had only 1 ° say, that it would be open to the Meeting to make any obi servations upon them. They were drawn up hastily, 3 l l ' would admit of course of many verbal alterations. lb' object in view w as t o ena bl e t h e M ex i can an d S o ot" , American States to resume the payments of their respective dividends. He thought it quite usele * to go into retrospective matters, to inquire boot they got into their present insolvent condition; lb r ' in his opinion, the better way would be to consider 6t once of the best method of getting paid the money dt' was due to them. He then read the following Resolution'' and moved that they be adopted by the Meeting : lit. That it appeared to the Meeting, that the loantit ° the States of Mexico, Colombia, Chili, and the other *South American States mounted in the aggregate to the sum of 8 1 u 7 in n o i m illions, 1 i 9 o B n s s : 9 a 6 n o d t that a n t d h e thatitl tetrheset samet ere vi o , rl a s a i m n amounted to the default, both as to the Dividend an d th e Si n ki ng F und for paying off the principal. _ . 2d. That the British public had come forward with great good feeling to assist those States in a time of great difficulty and that they therefore merited the punctual payment of what they had advanced ; and Thirdly, that the Chairman and such other persons 0 the Meeting might think proper to appoint, should confer with his Majesty's Ministers upon the subject of those claims, and solicit their interference for the protection of the Bondholders. These were the Resolutions which he begged to submit to the consideration of the Meeting. A BONDHOLDER asked if there was any prospect of those States being enabled to pay the dividends, for if not, it war; useless to come to any resolutions at all. Mr. KEMBLE said, that he believed that such a conqi deration was not the object of the present meeting► He thought Government would deem it to be important that so large a sum of money should be recovered, for whe ther they dealt in money or goods, they were equally en titled to such protection as Government had been in the habit of affording when foreign countries had b e come defaulters. He considered that it was useless to 10 into the enquiry of the insolvency of the respective Go• vernments, the object of the present meeting being merell to give a public expression of the feeling of the bond holders upon the non-payment of their dividends. After some further discussion the Resolutions were row Welly agreed to, and the meeting adjourned. Tere is still a hope that Major LAING and Captain CLAPPERTON may not hare been destroyed, but detained as prisoners, with the view of extorting ransom. Brighton Gazette.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—Among the distinguished individuals who honoured the French per formances butt night, were his Royal Highness the Duke of Swim, the Marqnis of Sum", Marquis PALUILLA, Baron CETTO, Lord MOLYNEUX, Lord VALLITORT, Lord FITEUARRIS, Lord BRUCE, Lord WIC RUSSELL, Lord LONEDALE, Hon.

MAD EMOISEL LE SONTAG' S C ONCERT .--- This fair songstress gave her first con cer t y es t er d ay morn .A • • ing at the Argyll Rooms, and it was h onoure d w i t h t h e presence of several of the Roy a l Family, and most of our Noblesse. SONTAG sung the Aria com p ose d f or h er by . AI RRCADANTE , which sh e performed at MosentiLas concert, beautifully ; also a d ue tt o w ith M a d a me ' m om , ( w ho made her d e b ut on this occasion); but her chef d'reuvre was the celebrated Scena in De r F re i sc htfo (as originally composed ) , , in t h e German 1 4;igrI4gfe ; which afforded her full scope for a display of her talents. She sung the Adagio with a vast deal of feeling ; and gave the delicious moreeau which occurs in the Overture, and is in troduced in the song, most sweetly. The concluding move ment WES sung with uncommon spirit, and the effect of ac celerating the tim e was very good, and drew down uni versal plaudits from the company, and proved that SONTAG feels what she sings. Those who have only heard her at the Opera House have much pleasure in store. Madame Motto's voice is called a contralto, but it certainly is more of a mezzo soprano ; she appeared alarmed, and did no recover her self-possession during the morning; she is a good singer, and was well received. Clinton', Pitu.sanixt, and ZUCITELLI, acquitted themselves with their usual abi lities. Monsieur Puts performed an air with variations on the pianoforte, being his first public appearance in this country. As a composer of celebrity, his name was well known here, but he was unknown as a practical per former. He is a very brilliant player, dashing, and in.- trepid ; he makes, like a daring sportsman, some hazard ous leaps, which he generally and effectually accomplishes- His shake is excellent. The band was led by Sraono ems, and the concert un d er t h e di rect i on o f Si r Grows SMART : we were glad to observe LINDLEY' in his place again. 1 OF TH T 4„ eto td -War] \i I , t rAt th „„"Y t dot ed I/1 4 41(3 rt t he andpri, roc 44 Ene for g e nial h ers a liZer wl t i ll YDllr e t4, Ala nt 14 rd • i kre4 t ;teltil trat % ha( ire 41 tn a ' ne e , kite be p s 0, sl her p Sh e , f • orw 0,7' oh LOU t f t ' :1 4 14 124 5 1 Oad ay 144
