ROYAL MARINES. The public attention has been excited towards the Royal M ar in e s, by th e h onoura ble distinc tions conferred on them by his Mak, and by the flattering commend a ti o ns of the Illustrious Duke by whom they are commanded ; and we naturally are led to believe that such conspicu ous merit would have its due reward. Nothi ng can exceed their military discipline, nor can their evolutions in the field be excelled by troops of the line, with whom they are frequently b r i ga d e d . On those occasions, it is painful to contrast the veteran officers ofthe . Marines with t h e yout hf u l appearance of those in the army. At a recent review, the officers carrying the colours were eighteen and nineteen years S eco nd-Li eu t enants , whose grey hairs but ill a c cor d e d w i t h t h e lau rels, and the envied decoration which floated over them. Th e sen i or Capta i n had served thirty-six years, and the senior first Lieutenant twenty-five y ears . I n rep l y to repeate d applica tion for promotion, they are told " that nothing can be done for them." They are denied the option of half•pay, while every soldier can claim his discharge and a pen sion after twenty-one years' service. In the Navy, officers go on half-pay after three years ; and the army enjoy a similar indulgence at their own convenience. Neither have the Marines the advantage o unattached Captain's half-pay to the same exteni of elate as in the line and Royal Artillery. Ii: the latter corps the rank of Major is abolished but in the Marines it is continued. That greatest of all anomalies, Naval Officers holding commissions as Generals and Colonels of Marines, and enjoying the emoluments, still con tinues, in spite of every call of justice. Much benefit would arise if in Parliament the estimate for the Marine were separated from that of the Navy, in voting the annual supplies. This measure would expose to the country the small portion of the sum which is actually for the corps in proportion to its number of men. To amend the service and accelerate promo tion, the whole corps should be thrown into bat talions ; encreasing the force from 9,000 to 18,000 men, which would barely suffice in the event of a war ; and during peace the Marines might do all the garrison duty along the coasts and places adjacent ; and by frequent tours of sea duty they would never fail to prove that they are, as Lord St : Vincent emphatically called them, the Kig i nt arm of the British Navy and the &sky of their country. N. COMMERCE OF FRANKFORT. In no other town on the Continent is there probably so rnuch business transacted on paper —are so many bills negotiated with every quarter of the globe—or so many singular speculations undertaken—as in this place. Frankfort may, indeed, be styled the head-quarters of the Con tinental bankers. Among those of this class who had acquired a degree of celebrity, no o n e was more distinguished than Mr. Bethmann. His connections in the mercantile world were so extensive, that in no corner of the earth in which that valuable contrivance of commerce—a bill of exchange—is resorted to, was his name unknown. His great attention to his clients arid friends, the affability of his conversation, and, above all, his splendid hospitality, had made him very po pular among travellers. I believe Ido not ex aggerate when I assert that most of the English travellers who passed through Frankfort have experienced, at some period or other, the grati fying effect of Mr. Bethmann's amiable . disposi tion. He was in the prime of life, and no man attended with more strictness to his duties. His house, in which he entertained his guests in a sumptuous manner, situated near a' part of the public gardens and drive, is next to a summer pavilion, embosomed within a handsome planta tion To this pavilion the wealthy banker used to adjourn with his guests from his house after dinner, in a summer afternoon, to take refresh ments on the sloping lawn before it, after having shown to them, with appropriate enthusiasm, his " there Ariadne." I bad the pleasure, in the sumther of 1819, to form one of a party of this description, when I beheld, for the first time, the cliff d'oeuvre in question. I derived the greatest pleasure in revisiting it, from the original and judicious remarks made on the group by the dis tinguished individuals whom I accompanied, and who are known to possess a classical taste for the fine arts. My second view of this exquisite poetical composition of the best living sculptor took place under far different circumstances from the first. In lieu of the ardent and admiring host pointing out the beauties of an object which he had so often and so long examined, we were escorted by one of the servants, whose interfer ence extended only to the very innocent office of turning round the groupe on its pedestal, in order to present it to us in every point of view, and to• the drawing Of a pink curtain before the ease ment, through whi c h the light was admitted into the room ; a coquetterie of the worthy master of th e place, who wished to give to the cabinet of Ariadne the soft atmosphere of a boudoir. But the master is no more ! We learn e d with grief that he had died of apoplexy Onl y a . few months before. He had entertained a lar ge Company to dinner, of which, as usual, he had hi mself a partaken liberally ; and proceeded t o the theatre, for the purpose of escortin g m a _ dame Catalani. Some altercation took / 4„e at the entrance-door, during which he be came violently agitated ; on reaching his box he fell in a senseless state on the floor. He was instantly removed to his house, where, after lin gering for ten or twelve hours speechless and T motionless, he expired. The house was still oc cupied by his widow, who, in virtueof that title, can claim the right of continuing in it during her widowhood ; but the pointed manner in which she has been wholly overlooked in the testamen tary dispositions of the deceased, dated some time before his illnesi, and the peculiar arrange ment made by him in regard to his children, seem to indicate that he had reason . to be discon tented with her. Of the immense wealth which he has left, she i s not to partake in the remotest degree ; and th e guar di ansh i p of his . children is confided to his partner, Monsieur St. George. Against these measures th e w id ow h as since - pealed ; and an action, disputing the provisions of the will, is now pendin g i n a Court of Justice at Lubeck. It is supposed that, at one time, during his short illness, Mr. Bethmann had pro bably the intention of altering his la s t w ill , as he made signs to have writing materials' brought to him. After attempting to use the, right hand, I and failing, he traced some characters with hi s left hand c,n the paper, but these were found afterwards to be perfectly illegible. The friend s of the lady rely much on this circumstance, as a presumptive evidence of the testator's relenting and kinder disposition towards his widow ; and it will be curious to know how the learned in the aw at Lubeck will settle •the question. Mrs. Bethtnann, who is a Dutchwoman by birth, is a near relation of a highly-respectable merchant, naturalised, and residing in England, and is de scended from a female creole of one of the Dutch West India Islands, whither hegrandfather had gone as a private soldier, and where he had amassed a very large fortune.—Dr. Granville's St. Petersburgh. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Message,. des Chambres, dated Sept. 16.) PARIS, SEPT. 15.—Rear-Admiral Rosamel is going to embark immediately at Toulon on board the Trident, to place himself under the command of Vice-Admiral de Rigny. This measure appears to have given rise to a report of the recall of the latter officer to France. The health of M. de Rigny, which had been impaired by great fatigue, could alone induce him to return to France : but we are happy to announce that he is now entirely recovered, and that consequently there is no idea of giving him a successor in a command in which he has already performed such great services, and may still render others more important. (From the Gazette de France, dated Sept. 17.) PARIS, SEPT. l6.—An express, despatched from Odessa by M. de Montemart, arrived last night at the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He is said to have brought unfavourable news of the Russian army. We have received a letter from Trieste, dated Sept. 3, which states that letters from Corfu, of the 12th of August, announce that a Turkish ship of the line, and six Egyptian frigates, from Alex andria,. have arrived at Navarin, and are supposed to be destined to take back to Egypt the army of Ibrahim, before the arrival of the French expedi tion. These vessels sailed from Alexandria on the 21st July. TOULON, SEPT. B.—The six transports which are still in the port, and are taking in provisions and military stores, have received orders to be ready to sail en the 10th of this month. PARIS, SEPT. 16.—They write from Bucharest on the 25th of August—" It is said, that in one of the last sorties from Silistria, the Turks succeeded. for the first time; in breaking a square of Russian infantry. It is at least certain, that on the 20th the regular bombardment of that fortress had not com menced, and that the communications of its com mander with the Pacha of Widdin were completely free. We are assured that 30,000 Russians are coming, and will enter our principality by the 6th of September." (From the Messager des Chambres.) We lear►i from Corfu, by way of Ancona, that the plenipotentiaries of the three Allied Powers, who, on the 9th of August, had again assembled at Corfu, were occupied in drawing up a joint declaration, which is to be issued in the name of the Three Powers, as soon as the French expedition shall have landed in the Morea. This declaration will state the object of the expedition, and the grounds on which it has been undertaken. It is expected that it will arrive at the end of AuguSt, and that as soon as it has landed, the three Ambassadors will go to Poros, where they will cor►- fer with the Greek Government, but that they will remain there only a short time, and return in a few weeks to Corfu. Their houses at Corfu being hired for a year, it is presumed that they calculate on a long stay. Admiral de Rigny and Admiral Malcolm were expected to be at Corfu by the 21st of August. The Russian Councillor of State, Count Bulgari, had arrived there on his way to Greece. A Russian courier had also arrived with despatches for the Mar quis de Ribeaupierre. A rumour, certainly an erro neous one, is in circulation of an English expedition to Candia. (From the Courier Francais.) We have received a letter from Poros, dated the 2d (14th) of August, containing the following de tails:— " Two of his Most Christian Majesty's vessels have just arrived, despatched to our President through the medium of Gen. Baron de St. Denis, the accredited agent of the King of France to the Greek Government, residing at Poros. "A sum of 500,000 francs was immediately placed by that gentleman at the disposal of the President. "It is said that Admiral de Rigny, who is still at Smyrna, does not come here because he is displeased at succours being sent in this manner, and at being deprived of the share which be used to take in our affairs, by the arrival of an official agent, who has at once extinguished alibis influence. " His recall has been talked of for some time, Some ascribe it to that of Admiral Codrington, but others look upon it as the result of the misunder standing which exists between him and M. Tuche rean de St. Denis."

Yesterday morning the neighbourhood of St. George's Church, in the Borough, was thrown into a state of considerable agitation by the following singular scene :—A few minutes before eleven o'clock a tolerably pretty girl, apparently under 18, decked out with a profusion of bridal ornaments, was seen rushing out of the front door of the church, and flying down the street with great velocity. In a few seconds the fair fugitive was pursued by an old man, upon whose head some sixty summers had spent their- fury; a lameness in one of his feet seemed to render the contest a very unequal one.— However, the venerable bridegroom (for such in fact he was), forgetting his years and his infirmities, chased the lovely runaway with an ardour that would have done honour to his more juvenile days. The race was long and ably contested. The young lady took the footpath, while the old man, with more prudence, kept the carriage road. Ever and anon „did she test an anxious look behind; but, alas ! the crowded state of the footway presented so many ob structions to her c o u r se , th a t no t w ith s t an di ng th e s t art and considerable fleetness in her favour, her pursuer at length overtook her. He put his arms round her, but she obstinately refused to return : wherefore, finding entreaty ineffectual, he took her in his arms, a amidsti of the loud b uzzes o f t h e mu l t i tu d e w hi c h theinnoveltythe scene had attracted to the spot, bore her back triumphantlyto the chinch. Curio sity prompted us to lloeav‘r,,isiedartrliiavatithneeabrrlyideanhadenterh with h the party, when we Nuvra e ;r e i tn andwf by delaying so long, she tald him e ai w tin h g en th a e t e la ld st fe h l e did come, indignant at the want ardour h he evinced have a man who kept her waiting at she ethtete valtar,er wouldand rushed out of the church, as already I o.whomdescribed. h master and mistress of the girl, and ; but y her much respected, attended between the ' ester e when he v ery y e saw the frightful disparity parties, absolutely refused to give her away; so that the parish-clerk was at length prevailed on to act as papa, when the bride .. pledged her troth t o "obey" with a pouting sullenness that gave a bad omen that she will long remember her promise.-- After waiting upwards of two hours in the vain hop e that the crowd assembled outside the church to witness their departure would disperse, the p arty had to make their exit by a private door. It is said that a Grand Lodge of Masons will be held in Lincoln in November next, which will be honoured by the attendance of the Duke of SUSSEX. It is expected to be the largest Grand Lodge ever held in this part of the kingdom. All the principal Masons in that neighbourhood (which include people of high respects•• bility) gave in their immediate adhesion on the event being made known. The communication is made on the autho rity of Mr. TENNYSON, the P. G. M. of this county.— Stamford News. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAT AT ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Red. 3 per Cent.

The Nuremberg Correspondent of the 12th inst. says, on the authority of the Austrian Observer, that the Emperor NICHOLAS is greatly disposed to conclude peace. That far from wishing to violate tha integrity of the Turkish Empire, he still requires nothing more than satisfaction for the affronts offered him in the famous Circular, and the necessary securities For the future. In the name of wonder what more could he want ? But he has not yet de fined the " necessary securities"--and, until he favours the world with the nature of•these trifles, we must withhold our belief in his moderation, which is not a whit the more modest because it is Imperial. It is the very quality of ambition to deal in generalities when pursuing the goal of its hope. And from what we have hitherto seen of the Emperor NI CHOLAS, we see no reason to make him an ex ception to the master principle which shapes the ends of all conquerors. It may be asked, why does not the Emperor plainly avow to the world what are his demands, and what the nature of his required securities ? Why, because he does not yet know himself the full extent of his de sires. His mind is labouring after some cer tain definite object, but he does not yet com prebend its relative position or affinity to many other surrounding objects, and be does not like to commit himself in distinct terms, till he can obtain a glimpse of the many indispensable contingencies which must arise upon his ac quiring the one thing needful. For this reason he deals in vague generalities, with con stant professions of moderation. While be sieging Varna and Slimla, he only breathes hope, appealing to the justice of his cause, and the immensity of his wrongs. But once let him master these obstacles, and the voice of moderation will acquire new power when de- nouncing the Turks in the thunder of his might from the summit of the Balkan mountains. Again let him defeat the Turks on the plains of Adria nople, and no persuasion on earth can prevent his march to Constantinople. Ambition will then change the tone of moderation into the thunders of necessity. Let Constantinople be burnt to the ground, as many have threatened —what will that matter to NICHOLAS ?—it is DOE houses that he wants—it is po sition. Give him the ground upon which Constantinople stands, and his ambition can build houses to suit its own purpose. The possession of Constantinople, as a town simply, would not support his army, for it is well known that Constantinople depends for supplies on a part of his own dominions. The object of Lord HEYTESBURY'S mission to NICHOLAS, is said to be for the purpose of getting a distinct pledge of what the Emperor's ulterior views are, and, in this object, he is said to have been disappointed—simply, because, as we have said, the Emperor does not know him self. He has a grand secret at heart, which can only be unfolded as he proceeds in the consum mation of his ambition. Time alone can tell its extent. VIENNA, SEPT. 7. His Majesty the Emperor went, on the 4th, from Wem zuil to Schonbrune, and then to Bade*. The reviews in the camp at Traiskerchen began on the:9th of this month, and end on the 24th, on which day the camp is to break up. It is only to be hoped that the weather, which has been for a long time extremely bad, may clear up a little. Accounts from Odessa, of the 26th of Aug., state that the excessive heat which prevailed there had changed to rain, which greatly facilitated the military operations. Shumla was closely invested, and the sorties made by the Turks to re-estahlish their communications with Adrianople and Rutschuk are said to have been repulsed with spirit. The Emperor NICHOLAS was to be before Varna on the 7th of September, when an order to storm would be issued. By the American:mail, Papers from Halifax of the 16th ult. and Nova Scotia of the 13th, have been received at the North and South Ame rican Coffee-house. The Arcadian of the 25th August contains an account from _ Jamaica of the 2.5 th July, which mentions that the pirates still continued their depredations, and his Ma jesty's ships Espiegle, Grasshopper, .Nimble, and Pincher, had been ordered to cruise on the coast of Cuba, for the protection of the trade. His Majesty's ships Tyne and Ringdove, and transport Neva, had sailed with part of the 74th Regiment for Bermuda, and the 96th Regiment had received orders to embark at the latter port in the same vessel on their return. His Ma jesty's packet Sphinx arrived at Halifax in 38 days. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELEZ 0' CLOCK The gloom of the Consol Market appears to arise from the determination of the jobbers to create a fall by all possible means. The wiser heads arrogate to themselves the right of valuing the importance of every financial, political, and casual report, but it must be observed that to their minds the price of stock is at its tnaximum, consequently no possible rise can take place, but every new feature may create a panic and a fall. The lesser philosophers follow the same train of reasoning, and hence the gloom so gene rally pervading ; but to the cost of these deep rea soners, if but a look is given to the market by a Hebrew, the sensitiveness of the market is shown, and much dread evinced, fearing the " People" may become buyers. Little business has been done at present; the public are still disposed to make in vestments in Stock and floating Securities. The French Funds being lower has tended to depress the market; Consols opened at 88k, went sellers at 88, and have been done at 87k, both for Money and time; the Commissioners were supplied at 88; India Bonds are 95 97; Exchequer Bills 75 76 pm. In the Foreign Funds, the chief topic is the ar-1 rival or visit of the Queen of Portugal to this coun try. It is said, and with great propriety the ques tion may be entertained, that if her Majesty honours these shores with hzr presence, it will add much to her dignity, her character, and her glory, should she graciously condescend to honour the un fortunate holders of her country's bonds with their dividend. We do hope her Majesty's advisers will improve this subject, and make it not a mere report, but a circumstance worthy of so great a Princess. Portuguese Bonds have been done at 55i 6i; Bra zilian at 64k; Russian, 94 buyers; Danish, 631 64k; Peruvian, 21 22. In Shares there is no fresh feature. Three per Cent.

Spanish, 1821 12 Extract of a letter from Cadiz, dated Aug. 51 :—Arrived here the day before yesterday a French ship, baying en board the crew of a ship from Havre, taken by a pirate on the coast of Portugal, armed with one 18- pounder, with a crew of 32 brigands belonging to all nations. She has taken and sunk various vessels, French, English, Spanish, and Portuguese. A pear tree in a gentleman's garden at Porto• hello, exposed to all the easterly blasts, (so very injurious to fruit trees,) has, this year, produced the extraordinary quantity of upwards of 4,850 pears, all brought to ma turity, and pulled last week. The tree is only twelve years old. --Edinburgh Weehly Chronicle. The troops that are there must have suffered extremely from the incessant rains. An hospital has been prepared at Baden for the troops in camp. in which there is accom modation for 4,000 men. The Russians are said to have sustained a severe loss (4,000 men, as the report goes) by the late sally of the Turkish garrison at Widdin. The Aus trian Observer gives a letter from Her manstadt of Aug. 26, which says that the Russians, having been obliged on the 18th to abandon their camp at Golenz, and to retreat to their fortified frontier at Ceoroi, were attacked there on the 19th, but succeeded in maintaining their position. In the first camp, however, the Turks had taken 10,000 okas of biscuit, 40,000 okas of corn, large magazines of hay, and a great quantity of timber, rafts, and small vessels, which appear to have been intended for effecting the passage of the Danube, besides many thousand oxen. We receive the most satisfactory accounts here of the in tention of the Emperor Nicholas, to conclude peace. Far from wishing to violate the integrity of the Turkish em pire, he still requires nothing more than satisfaction for the affronts offered him in the circular to the Ayans, and the necessary securities for the future. But considering the increasing military ardour of the Turks, it is to be feared that they will not listen to even the most moderate propo sals, and that the war may therefore be protracted. According to accounts from Hamburgh of the 13th instant, we understand that the receipt of the news which we communicated yesterday from the Berlin State Gazette, respecting the pro posed departure of the Emperor of RUSSIA from Odessa for Varna, and the reported accept ance by the Porte of the Convention of the 6th July, produced no impression upon the Ham burgh Exchange. The prices remained the same as before. In Berlin also things remained as they were with respect to prices, and there was very little business doing. SHIPPING iNTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY. FROM LLOYD'S.

ITALIAN PHYSICIANS.—An English Gen tleman at Florence had a fall from his horse ; besides some slight bruises he felt great pain in one of his thumbs, which was soon attended with inflammation ; and the surgeon contianed to dress his thumb after the other hurts were cured. One day his son attended in his stead.—" Have you visited the Signor Inglese ?" says the father to the son in the evening. " Yes, I have drawn out the thorn, and—" " Pazzo the sei !" cried the fa ther, "ecco finata la bottega—Blockhead that thou art! there is an end of the shop."—Best's DR. PARR.—After dinner, but not often till he ladies were about to retire, he claimed, in all his companies, his privilege of smoking, es a right not to be disputed ; since, he said, it was a condition, " no pipe, no Palm," previously known, and peremptorily imposed on all who desired his acquaintance. Speaking of the honour once conferred upon him, of being invited to dinner at Carlton-house, he always mentioned, with evident satisfaction, the kind condescension of his present MAJESTY, then Prince of WALES, who was pleased to in sist upon his taking his pipe as usual. Of the Duke of SUSSEX, in whose mansion he was not unfrequently a vi sitor, he used to tell, with exulting pleasure, that his Royal Highness not only, allowesi him to smoke, but to smoke with him. He often represented it as an instance of the homage which rank and b eau t y d e li g h t to pay to talents that ladi e s o f t h e hi g h est stations eonde scendedtote office of lighti ng and learning, bis pipe. It appears that CADONI, the well-known mountebank, has not had legerdemain enough to preserve himself from the fangs of the law. At the conclusion of Paisley fair, CADONI finding his ordinary tricks beginning to fail, resorted to the expedient of a lottery, as a means of raising the wind, the prizes of which were k boll of meal or twenty shillings, and a fat pig or forty shillings. The bait took, and the shillings poured in. A barber gained the meal, and the prize ticket for the pig was drawn by a female. Unfortunately, however, the woman happened to be in debt, and her creditors became so clamorous for a share of the lucky windfall, that she was obliged to divulge the truth that she was employed by CADONI'S landlady to be the drawer of the prize, and to make sure of the mountebank knowing her, on holding up her hand for a prize, she was to wipe her mouth with her apron. This was done, and she immediately got the ticket encircled with the words " the pig." She then mounted the stage, proclaimed her good fortune, and pre ferred the money in cash, which she got, but, according to previous concert, it was all given back except ss. for her trouble. The barber who got the meal ticket *as also found to have acted a similar part iu the deception. The parties having been congregated before the Magistrates, CADONI was fined in 151., or 90 days' confinement in Bt idewell, his landlady was amerced in 8/. 133. 6d., and the poor barber was fined in 1 5s.—Glasgow Chronicle. AN APPARITION.---The streets for some time past have been much infested by an uncommonly tall, gaunt, and ugly African, bare-beaded and bare footed, and altogether as frightful a figure as Mumbo Jumbo himself, who calls himself Prince JOHN of the royal family of Nitro. One evening last week, about midnight, as a certain undertaker was' going to his home in the suburbs, along the centre Meadow Walk, he was accosted by the uncouth salutation of " Holo, Massa, how do ?" and, turning round, he descried the aforesaid African advancing rapidly towards him. Raising a cry of horror, that resounded through the meadows, he betook himself to his heels ; and, coming up to three gentle men, threw himself breathless and almost lifeless into their arms. Before he had time to explain the cause of his very strange conduct, the African was close upon them, howling and blaspheming at a fearful rate; and as seon as he became visible to them, the whole party fled in diff eren t di rec ti ons . The undertaker had got b ut amesahnos of short way, plivng fr o m his sable persecutor, t o leaphen he thought proper, as the only over a hedge ; the consequence of which was, that he fell into a ditch on the other side, up to his middle in water. His groans and cries brought the watchman to the spot, by whom he was extricated from his perilous sitnation. The African was next day caught begging on the High-street, and taken to the Police Office, where be was directed to relieve the town of his presence. Having set this direction at defiance, his Royal Highness was, on Monday, sentenced to 30 days' confinement in Bridewell. —Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.
