EXPRESS FROM PARIS. SUN OFFICE, Three o'Cluck. We have received the following Express from j 'aris—we have no time for comment : (From the Gazette d e F rance o f y es t er d ay. ) C ONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 10.—The Government does not regret the capture of Braila, as it proves the resistance wh ich the Russians will experience in other parts.— There is no change in the capital; nor have any measures of defence been taken, excepting that the Capitan Pat h* 1 3 going by land with 4000 men to Varna. It is singular the Porte sends an Admiral to defend a sea port in the Black Sea. Frequent meetings take place at the M ufti's ; and the Reis Effendi is occupied in regard to the answer of General Guilleminot. The Sultan is continually occupied iu reviewing the militia. SMYRNA, JULY 4.—The English Commodore arrived here yesterday ; we have several reports that the blockade of Navarin and Candia will be raised, and that Ibrahim will evacuate the Mores, with the consent of the Porte, and t he independence of Greece will be acknowledged. But all this requires confirmation. The Marquis of Hastings, the son of Lerd Holland, two sons of Lerd Ellesiborough, and several other young Englishmen, have asked permission to serve in the army going from Toulon, and the King has given his consent. From the Courier Francais of 6th August, according to letters from Bucharest the pest is extending itself in Wallachia to such a degree, that the Russian army will be obliged to repass the Pruth. A Private Letter frem Corfu, of the 14th July, says— "We shall soon have news from Greece. Great firing of cannon has been heard in the port of Nararin on the whole of the day of the 2tith June. Six English ships in our Port have sailed in great haste." FRENCH FUNDS.—Five per Cents. 106 f. 70c.; Three Per Cents. '72f. 65c. The French Papers of Tuesday, and the Gazette de France dated Wednesda , .:, contain 110 flews from the Theatre of War. It appears that the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, fount DR LA FERRONAYS, is about to set out f or Carlsbad, in Bohemia, for the ostensible be nefit of the waters, but really for diplomatic pur- Potes• How does this coincide with the " best understanding " which exists between our Court 4 ' 1 (1 those of our August Allies? The French Plots are of such delicate importance that only member of the Cabinet—the Foreign Minister himself—must whisper treason against the liberty ' l f Other States—or if not treason—objects of deep ambition. Som e of the French Journals take a mali -101-18, and we think an unwarrantable pleasure, in (i welling upon " the opportunities about to pre etlt themselves for effacing the disgrace of the 41 vasien and the battle of Waterloo." h The recal of Sir EDW ARD C ODRINGTON as excited the indignation and regret of al l the officers of the French Squadron th e Mediterranean ; and the French '°vernment are again evincing their semi ''lhetits, by conferring additional honours upon e Officers who participated in the glory o f ' l‘ 4v4 rin--an event which our Government ha s ;c ar acterised as " untoward," but which the litish nation hails as one of the brightest a - v ticq 's of our Naval arms. The Duke of 4,LINGTON has no taste for the sea. of the let inst., th e All geme i ne Z e it u ng, " Il t4ins some further accounts from Herman. sta( lt, and from the frontiers of Wallachia, re. sPecting the unfortunate progress of the Plague at 11 ocharest. So virulent had been its effects t 7 4 : t it Was d ou btf u l w h et h er t h e R uss i a n autho 11'4 would not feel it to be their duty, to evacuate th e P rincipalities of Wallachia and Moldavia, retaining one line of communication for the army in Bul ga ria, through Bessarabia. Th e ex t reme heat of the weather aggravated the danger—but most of the accounts from the scene of opera tions must be received with great caution, for every channel of communication ma y naturally be expected to imbue the intelligence with its Peculiar hue of thought. In fact we have gene rally more of commentary than fact from these quarters. The King of PRUSSIA has issued a general ° Ner for repressing, as far as human wisdom can repttss, the odious and ridiculous practice of dnelling,...—odious f r om it s murderous tendency, and ridiculous from its singular inconsistency in riski ng a man's life for the honour of being allowed the exclusive privilege of picking up " my lady's fan," or tying the loose string o f her Loot ! His MAJESTY's order is said to have excited agreat sensation ; but it was doubted Nrhether, in all cases, it would have the desired effect, as there will be fools and cowards in all classes of society. We have never yet heard of a better remedy for duelling than hanging the survivor, and elevating the seconds to the same distinction : HERMANNSTADT, JULY 15. Within these few days we have had so many but such conflicting and vague accounts from the theatre of war, that it is impossible to obtain any clear ideas from them. The positions of the respective armies are so imperfectly known here, that it is most prudent to wait for official information which, however, is very slow in reaching us. As the Russian head-quarters were at Karassu, on the 6th, we may infer that some important event will soon take place. I❑ consequence of the great heat, the plague continues to spread in the Principalities, and it is not impossible that the greater part of the Russian troops, stationed in them, may be ordered to retire beyond the Pruth, and one line of com munication for the army in Bulgaria, viz. that through Bessarabia, be retained. FROM THE FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, JULY 17. According to accounts from Bucharest, the plague has spread very considerably in the last fortnight, and M. Von Stourdza himself' had been induced to leave the city and remove to a conntry-house in the neighbourhood. It was even reported that the Russian troops would be withdrawn from the Principalities. The Russian Privy Councillor, Von Bulgarin, had arrived at Bucharest, and intended to go to Count Capo d'lstria as Russian Plenipotentiary in Greece. BERLIN, JULE 22. His 'Majesty's order of the day, respecting duelling, has excited a great sensation, not only in the army, but among the public in general. They admire the dignified senti tnents of this document, written by his Majesty himself.— Where such principles prevail the happiness of the people is built on a solid foundation. It is not, indeed, expected that this Cabinet order will put an entire stop to the abuse, but it is hoped that there will be fewer duels from trifling causes. Among us, as in other places, there are partisans of Don Pedro and of Dun Miguel. M. Bayard, Secretary to the Portuguese Legation here, has presented to Count Bernstoff, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, a note, in which he declares Count Lobo de Oriolo, the Ambassador at this Court, to be a partisan and advocate of Don Miguel. He has, therefore, he says, broken off all communication with him, and considers it his duty as a subject of Don Pedro to inform the Minister of it. Another Bulletin of the operations of the Russian Army has just been received. It is dated the 14th of July. On the 12th, a smart skirmish took place between the advanced divi sion of the Russian army, and a body of Turks amounting to from 6,000 to 8,000 men, which ended in the complete route of the latter. Yet such was the determined impetuosity of the Turks, that at one time they turned the right wing of the Russian Hussars, and very nearly cut off the whole body, which was prevented by the timely arrival of reinforce ments. The Russians have made no decided progress since the last bulletin, which is to be accounted for by orders from the EMPEROR not to advance till the main body of the army came up. It is clear that as the Russians advance upon the strong holds of the enemy, their progress must be interrupted, and consequently more slow. If they succeed in their attack upon Schoumla it will decide the fate of the campaign ; and if they are repulsed it will only retard the final conquest, for the arrival of more troops must enable them to succeed at last. We may shortly expect to hear of the siege, and probably the storm of Varna, for it is a post of double importance to the Russians as forming the coast key to Constantinople, and a, ready source for supplies to the army. It is stated in the French Papers received this morning that the Austrian Government feel such apprehensions for the future that they rein forced the Garrisons of Cataro and Ragusa, and have summoned all the Militia of Dahnatia to join the Austrian standard. The Militia of Sclavonia have also received orders to take the field at a moment's notice. Mr. DAWKINS, son of the Commissioner for Woods and Forests, is appointed Envoy to Greece, and will shortly take hi s d e p ar t ure . Consuls will also shortly be appointed for the chief ports. The Quebec Gazette of the 7th ult., says, the season continues extremely wet, and has been the same throughout; the crops on high lands are luxuriant ; in low lands they have suf fered a good deal. The hay crop, which the farmers will begin to mow in the ensuing week, will hardly be an average one, it has suffered much from frost. In the new settlements the wet weather has prevented the lai4s from being cleared by the impracticability of burning the timber, and in this way has proved very injurious. The - Montreal Gazette of the 10th ult. con firms the above information, and statesthe weather to be, without interruptiOn, disagreeably wet ; the showers have been constant and heavy, to the we are afr a id, o f the crops. In the neighbourhood g age hbOurhood of this city the quantity of rain which has fallen is greater than during any simi lock, Si r J AMES simi lar o sp n ac th e e fo 7 r th a period of o t f br y e e e a o rs ,c . KEMPT embarked for Halifax in the Colonial brig Chebucto, under a salute from the Citadel. His Excellency was attended by Capt. HAMIL TON, Aide-dc-Camp. It is now certain that Lieut.-General Sir JAMES KEMPT succeeds the Earl of DAL IIOUSIE as Governor-in-Chief; and it is said Sir FRANCIS BURTON will follow Sir JAMES KEMPT in the Government of Nova Scotia. The report of the suspension of Mr. Justice WILLIS, of Upper Canada, and the temporary appointment of Mr. HAGIiNI A /4, until his MA JESTY'S pleasure is known, proves to be correct American Papers to the 17th ult. have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, extracts from which will be found in another column. The Tariff has occasioned great excitement in the Southern States, and some went so far as even to burn it. The trial of CORDER, at Bury St. Edmund's, seems to excite unusual interest. It will be concluded this evening, and the termination fully reported in our Paper to-morrow. The condtict of the CORONER seems very justly to have ex cited the indignation of the Court and the Bar. Will our readers believe it—the Co- HONER acts as the attorney for the prosecution ! This is monopoly with a vengeance,—but coun try Coroners have a conscience of their own. They would shut their Court against all but the Jury, that they might have the sole privilege of reporting also. Worthy. Gentlemen truly ! SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.: 11,031 LLOYD'S.

Mr. SUGDEN stated that this was before Master Stratford, to approve of the sale of a large estate ; that that Master had gone to Cheltenham, and left the proceedings undisposed of; that it was of the utmost importance to have the estate sold before the winter, and therefore he had been instructed to apply for an order to remove the proceedings from Master Stratford to the Master of the vacation. Mr. KNIGHT and Mr. TINNEv, who appeared for other parties, opposed the application. Their clients had received a letter from Master Stratford's clerk, saying he, had taken part of the papers in this cause with him ; that his clerk should be in constant cor respondence with him till the end of the present month; and that till that time he should give his attention to it. Master Stratford had expressed a strong opinion against Mr. Sugden's clients, and that was the reason of the present application. His LORDSHIP could not conceive why the Master should have left town before the business of the Court was done. He should write to him to-night, requesting his return to attend to this business, unless the state of his health prevented him ; and if it did, lie should transfer the proceedings to the Master of the vacation. IS THE 'MATTER OF RICHARD BUTLER, A SUPPOSED BANKRUPT. In this matter, the advertisement of the Commis sioners' adjudication had been stayed, and it was ordered to have come on yesterday for discussion, but other business prevented it. To-day the suspen sion of the advertisement was ordered to be con tinued till Tuesday, when the matter is to come on, and in the meantime the Commissioners are to pro ceed with the commission. The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated that on Monday he should take lunatic, and on Tuesday bankrupt petitions. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR-Your insertion of this letter will be a great obli gation to a great body of my brother Licensed Victuallers. Having observed in the Courier of last evening the sub stance-matter connected with the Licensing of Hotels under the Bill just passed for the immediate protection of certain hotels ; and particularly those of the first respectability at the west end of the metropolis, who had for several years past neglected to renew their licences, which there can be no doubt was the cause of producing the Hotel Bill, enabling two Magistrates, if they should so thinkfit, to grant them licences before the annual licensing day, in order that they may be protected from informa - tions, which they were subject to from being without such licence ; it is the general opinion of most hotel-keepers, as well as myself, that the slur endeavoured to be cast upon that body by the Courier and Times, in stating that they are under the influence of the brewers, who have from that cause prompted them and the licensed victuallers to oppose the wholesale mode of licensing hotels, so destructive to the already licensed property, is unfair and extremely illiberal. I have been acquainted for many years with most of .the hotel keepers of the first respectability, none of whom, I know from the best anthority, are under the influence of either Brewer, Dis tiller, or Wine Merchant4and many of whose houses, are one half the year without an adequate return, which has been the cause of those who could convert part of their premises into taps or gin -shops so to do, enable them to meet their heavy expenses ; and I do contend, from the very long acquaintance with the Hotel business, that there is at the present time more Hotels than can be respectably supported by the public, the truth of which the whole of the Hotel-keepers are ready to prove, And am, Mr. Editor, with great respect, Your most obedient Servant, CHARLES HARRISON.

Wormald, Brown, Bower, Baker, &c. The weather has undergone a favourable change since our last report. Yesterday all was rain, mud, and gloom; to-day all was sunshine. The company, however, was not more numerous ; the running was good, without being first-rate. As much depends on the proprietorship of a horse en gaged in a great betting race, we think it proper to state that Coulon, who was recently a leading favourite fur the Great St. Leger, is now the sole property of Mr. Crompton. The following is an accurate return of the day's sport : Sweepstakes of 20 sots, each, h. ft. for two-yr-old colts, Bst. 51b. ; and fillies, Bst. 21b. T.le.C. Hon. E. Petre's eh. c.

After two or three false starts, which occupied nearly an hour, they went off in line. Lord Norroanby's imme diately got in front at a tremendous pace, Tamboff, Lord Kelburne's, and Rowton following, the others in a body behind. Thus placed, they ran very near to the Stand, when Lord Normanby's gave way, and Rowton at once went to the front, which he maintained to the end, win ning a pretty race rather cleverly by a length ; rode by W.

The venerable Earl litzwilliam (who may be justly called Father of the County) was present, and, in the in terval of the race, walked through the betting ring, lean ing on the arm of Mr. Alderman Wilson, Father of the city of York. The heart-felt cheers of the spectators suf ficiently evinced the respect felt for the Noble Earl. The only change in the betting is in Besay Bedlam and The Colonel—the mare having the call.

SECOND MATCM-This Match was for a Cold Cup, value 1001., given by the Club. Stewards—The Right Hon. the Earl of Ilchester and the Right Hon. Viscount Deerhurst. The following vessels started :—Elizabeth, (35 tons; Mary, 53 ; Charlotte, 66 ; Emerald, 58 ; liebe, 66. Course, round a vessel moored off Cornet Bay, with a Dutch flag flying ; thence eastward, through Cowes Roads, passing the buoy of No-man's-land, round the Nab light vessel, and returning back to the starting vessel. The Hebe was the first round the Point, and maintained her station and came round the starting vessel, and, by the fire of the gun, was proclaimed the successful yacht. Shp was round five minutes before any other vessel. There was some contention between the Elizabeth and Emerald, which terminated in favour of the latter, by tacking across th, former, thereby taking all the wind from her. The Match was not interesting, the Hobo being so much before the others : she performed her distance, which must have exceeded 60 miles with the tacks she made against the wind, in four hours. Cowes is very dull, on acenunt of the bad weather, and there is not above 20 sail of yachts in the harbour. The members of the Royal Yacht Club amuse themselves, for want of something better to do, wit h playing at pitch and toss, outside of their Club-house. However, we are happy to see them killing time, but thinl: it would be much better to play s u ch school-boy nonsense under cover. The OBSERVER, price only Sevenpence p will give the best account of CORDER', Trial. The Montreal Gazette of the 10th ult., con tains the following compliment to the SUN London News paper :—" The London SUN, containing the Debate at full length on the Catholic Question, was distributed io Dublin in less than 37 hours after the vote was taken—full Q 4 hours earlier than it would have been by the regular modes of conveyance. This paper, though not the largest, is certainly the best newspaper in the world. It is con ducted in the most extraordinary spirit of enterprize, and the selection of the most important news, awl the disposal of it, is done in the most judicious manner possible. Mademoiselle SONTAG has refused the en gagement tendered to her to sing fur the ensuing year ut the Konigstadt Theatre, at Berlin, at a salary of eleven thousand crowns. NORTHAMPTON, AUG. 7.—At an assembly of the Corporation of Northampton, held this day, Joi-tx BEA UCLE ILK, Esq. was elected Recorder of the Borough for the ensuing year, in the room of the late Marquis off; NORTIIA3IPTON, and the Corporation immediately votetl him an honorary freeman of the town. Mr. Jonx MAR SHALL was elected Mayor, and Mr. W3I. IN'irriN and Mr. HueN HIGGINS, Bailiffs, for the year ensuing. A vote of censure was passed on Mr. Alderman BROWN, for several statements respecting the Magistrates of the borough, made in an affidavit sworn in the Court of King's Bench on a. recent trial. The sum of 1001. was likm,wise voted in a;tl of the Funds of the Free Grammar School in this place. The Corporation afterwards diued together at the George Inn, and the evening was spent with the most enlivenin.. traits of humour and good neighbourhood. The following ate a small portion of the toasts :—The King—Duke of Clarence and the Navy—Duke of Wellington and his Ma jesty's Ministers—Lord Hill and the Army—Th a t H os t a Patriots, Lord Eldon—The Mayor—The Recorder—ll,. Mayor Elect—The Bailiffs—The Bailiffs Elect—&c. SIIOCKING SUICIDE.—This morning, about ten minutes before 12 o'clock, a young woman, apparently about 27 years of age, threw herself off the top of Waterloo Bridge. She had been observed wandering about for some time before, crying, and in a very distressed state of mind her intentions were therefore suspected, and she was almost immediately brought to shore, to the Feathers, where shn now lies in a very doubtful condition. GREENOCK BANK ROBBERY.-Our corre spondent in Greenock thus writes to us :—" It is reported here, .that another of those who robbed the Greenock Banl: has been apprehended at Birmingham. This, however, is only report, although, from the quarter whence I had it, I believe it to be correct."— Glasgow Free Press. BUILDING.—DuII as the mason trade is in this quarter, it is considerably better than it was at this time last year. In Edinburgh_ and Leith there are at pre sent nearly three hundred operative masons employed. The labourers are plentiful, and have 95., and the masons have I:3s. a week. Building is going on with spirit in the western counties, and in ccusequence a mason is rarely seen idling about the streets of this city. Encouraged by the scarcity of hands and the increase of business, the workmen here are beginning to talk of an advance of wages.—Scotsman. t e e y e k a, s re p r ices is not con..

The old man appeared dead and insensible, at least he showed not the least symptom in his counte nance of being in the least degree powerfully moved, al though by no means showing indifference to his situation. The executioner, who was masked, now proceeded to fix on the fatal rope, which he closed so tightly upon the wretched old man's neck, that his face became instantly red ; the cap then was pulled over his face, which he him self assisted in adjusting, and he was moved forward on the platform. tnin H minute ehe was launched stoo on d i i n t t e o re e c t t and ern ity. firm, T h ad in about a not more than two feet, but the unfortunate man was not in the slightest degree convulsed, and expired without a struggle.
