WELLS ASSIZES. We state from authority, that Sergeant Wilde was retained, and a bill of indictment drawn and sent to an agent in Wells, to go before the Grand Jury at the Assizes, against William Banning, Esq. of Dillington House, a Magistrate of the County, and John Nicholls, an apothecary, for a misdemeanor, for attempting to bribe a Member of the Corpora. tion. The proposal signed and witnessed was ex hibited in the King's Bench last term, in the case of Rex v. Brookes and others, in the following words "May 15, 1827. " 1, William Howling, do hereby, 0.1 the part of John Edwards, Esq., of Regent - street , Westminster, Ind of my self, agree to make good an annual payment to Mr. John Lovell, a Member of the Corporation of Welk, and now resident in Bristol, equal to the pay of a Thtrrack.master's appointment, from the date hereof to the period of his h av i n g a place under Government provided and offered to him of equal annual value, 'provided the said Mr. John Lovell does, at the Corporation Meeting at Wells, vote and support the cause and interest required of him by the said John Edwards and William Hanning. " Witness, " (Signed) WM. HANNING." For what unassigned reasons the Agent thought fit to disobey the positive direction of his , client, and send away a material witness on the first morning of the Assizes, so that his Client could not proceed through any other medium, will become a subject of inquiry. J. NICHOLLS. HOPKINSON. TO THE EDITOR OF TILE SUN. Sth.—ln reading, in your Paper of the 28th of August It,t, an account of the examination, at Bow-street, of the swindler Hopkinson, alias Barrow, I was astonished to find you had stated, that "he had slept two nights with the lion. Mr. Long Wellesley's coachman, who lately cut a conspicuous figure in the Courts at Westminster." I beg to inform you, that I ant the Hon. Mr. Long Welles ley's coachman, and have been so for many years, and you may judge what my feelings were at finding my name mixed up with so scandalous a transaction. I instantly wrote to you, most distinctly denying every part of the statement, and have anxiously read your Paper every day since, in the hope of finding that abominable paragraph contradicted ; however, to this day (though for what rea son I cannot imagine) no notice has been taken of my letter : and as I cannot allow the public to lie any longer under so dreadful an error, I must request you will imme diately insert this, in order to make it fully aware of the groundlessnesi of the accusation against me. I inchit un equivocally deny ever having seen the man Hopkinson, or ever haVing had any sort of communication with him. I have made application at the house where it is said to have occurred, awl have found that a man, whom I employed some time age about the stables, and who, while I was unwell, had driven the carriage once or twice, was lodging there--that he had represented himself as the Hon. Mr. Long Wellesley's coachman, snd that he was the man who had slept, with Hopkinson. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN RANDALL.

The bird is very elegantly marked—the beak, eyes, and legs being of a beautiful vermillion colour, and the belly variegated with handsome brown and black feathers,— Cheltenham Chronicle. The other day a little boy, not many miles from Falkirk, having absented 'himself fie- a whole day, excited considerable alarm among his family far his safety. In the evening his mother, in her search, at length spied him busily engaged in digging a hole in the sea bank, at some distance. On asking him where he had been, and what he had been doing, the little fellow answered, " I heard my father's oilier was in the Bank, and I was just trying to find it."— Greenock .Advertiser. Mr. GEORGE, ROBINS, it should scent by reference to our auction department, is retained specially et a county meeting, on the 26th of the present month, in three important causes: first, he is engaged as advocate and special pleader for the great " Torr Royal Estate," long the favoured retreat of Sir THOMAS TYRWHITT, with domain of nearly 3,000 acres of land on the forest of Dartmoor, which he has cultivated with great success. The rail-road to Plymouth has given such facility to the produce, that the land has trebled its value, in coutradis tinction to its worth before this great national undertaking was suggested. He is to move for a rule to show cause why flit convicts should not for the future be deposited, to the !lumber of 2 or 3,000, in the prison on Dartmoor ; (hereby inferring that the produce swill necessarily arrive at a higher value, front such a permanent and steady con sumption.—The next cause in which this gentleman is en gaged, is the " Stokelake Mansion and Estate," near Chudleigh, with a park and lands of 32 acres. He will not be required to call to his aid much persuasive talent to distiuguish the beauties of Devonshire, as opposed to any other.—And last, and certainly the least difficult of all the causes, he will have to show that property at Sidmeuth is quite as much in request a, ever. We have no doubt that he will in each cause get a favourable verdict for his clients. —Exeter Western Luminary. WENTWORTH AND CO.—ANOTHER DIVI - will be gratifying to the public to learn, that a third dividend, out of the estate of the late Wakefield bank, may be soon expected to be declared and paid. GODFREY WENTWORTH, Esq. (son all heir of G. W. WENT WORTH, Esq. of Woolley, late at the head of that firm;, has recently disposed of his estate of Ilickleton Park, to Sir l'eancts LINDLEY Wool), Bart. for 60,0001. and out of 141 's sum he has paid the purchase-money of his father's life-interest in the property at Woolley, to the assignees of time bankrupt bank. By this means, assets to the amount of forty or fifty thousand pounds have just become avail able to WENTWORTH, CHALONER, and Co.'s creditors, and if tile managers of the concern have, in other respects, faithfully discharged the trust reposed in them, there must no w he realieeel in their hand. quite sufficient to make a third distribution, like the two former, of five shillings in the pound, to all the claimants who have proved under the commission. In that case, the ereditora will have re ceived a total of 15s. in the pound; and We feel confident the remaining ss, with interest on the whole since Dec. 1823, may subsequently be paid, unless the vast mass of property placed under the controul of the imagers shall prove to have been wasted. scarcely h ope, however, to witness so fortuna te an issue to this failure; for T. C. PATRICK, Esq. the sporting accountant, is still retained at a salary of three. guineas per diem and peripii_ sites to boot, together with his retinue of sub -accountant s at proportionate charges ; while a bill has been incurred for law expencee which , on a moderate computation, would reach from Wakefield to Lee ds. It is, however, worthy of remark, that the most extensive country bank which broke during the panic, under engagements funds for thente not far slant of a million sterling, should af f ord such ample creditors—though conducted, perhaps, on as latitudinarian prin c i p l es o f b an ki ng as an y house in the kingdom.— Leeds I n t e lliy encer . REPRLSENTATION OF YORKSIIIRE.—TiIe estate of Mickleton, mentioned in the foregoing paragraph, Sir Faascis S. Wool has purchased, we understanq, to present to his son, CHARLES Woon, Esq. M.P., anti it is said that, though the sum is large, the terms are reason able. Indeed, we have heard that an lion. Gentleman of this county, whom delicacy restrains us from naming on such a subject, would have given 20,0001. more for the property than it has been disposed of fur. Rumour further state, that the purchase has been effected preparatory to the intended nuptials of Mr. CHARLES WOOD, with the Hon. Miss WEeenvoarit, daughter of Lord Viscount Mll.- Tel e—and that this alliance is, itself, not without reference to the next probable vacancy in the Whig-half of the re of Yorkhhire. The Hon. Mr. WEeerwoaen presentation is yet of very tender years, though e n t ered of Cambridge University; and , therefore, unless provision were made in time to secure, by other means, the continuance of the FtrzwlLLlAst interest, the representation might lapse out however, is a young of the family. Mr. C. gen tlemanWooly, who has a reputation for parliamentary talent, not only flout his ability' and acquirement,, e but hishpo)aliiittsiooafl • business; while, on the other hand, gratitude due by Lord MILTON to Sir' E. L. Wool), tope_ timer with the character and fortune of the latter, .seem to point out an union of the families, as a natural arrange ment, with a view to the pfivafe ai well as the public inte rests of both' tOmusks: Whether the great and little Whigs will submit to be trafficked for in this manner by the FITZWILLIAM family remains to be seen on the proper oc casion—but should the Roman Catholic Question be set tled, as soon as expected, it is not improbable that the HOD. STUART WORTLEY may contend for the honour with the 'towline of the WOODI and Wzrawolains....lbid, UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE, CAI➢RIDGE, SEPT. 12.—The Rev. G. F.

(From the Gazette de Frunce, dated Sept. 10.) ODESSA, Auti. 19.—The departure of the Emperor for the army seems to lit delayed, for it is said that his Majesty will not leave us till the beginning of September, to arrive at the army on tke 6th Sep , ttmber. Lord Heytesbury has daily conferences with Count Nesselrode. VIENNA, AEr.I4 jo.—We hear that the English Legation has received a courier, despatched from Odessa by Lord Heytesbury ; the accounts he brings are very satisfactory with respect to the negociations of that Minister. The Russian Cabinet is said to have repeated the assurance, that it will not make conclicsit anti the Emperor has verbally renewed it to Lord neytesbury.. These accounts have been sent to London by an extraordinary courier. Letters from Jassy of the ?Ist have been circu lated to-day on 'Change, which announce that Varna has surrendered to the Russians, after a bom bartlment of sixteen hours from the sea side. The confirmation of this news is expected. BUCHAREST, AUG. 18.—We expect every mo ment the news of the taking of Varna. Admiral Greig has began to bombard it from the sea side. Meantime the Russian army merely observes £humla, and no general attack is to be attempted till further orders. (From the Message). des Chambres of Tuesday, Sept. 9.) BUCHAREST, AUG. Is.—Some symptoms of the plague have unhappily appeared within the last fort &gilt ; they are ascribed. to the imprudence of some persons in taking up and cleaning some clothes that had been saved by the proprietor to avoid burning them as was ordered. Count Pahlen, the Gover nor, has, in conieqiience, signified to the Archi mandrite, that he required him to announce the penalty of banishment against every subject of the Principality, or other person, who shall take up in fected clothes, or other effects, that have been buried. The Governor of Ghiurgevo makes frequent excur sions into the Wallachian territory, and fears are en tertained at Bucharest that the Turks at Calafat, taking advantage of the weakness of the Russian blockading corps, should penetrate to the capital of the principality, when they would certainly take severe revenge for • the enthusiasm with which the enemy was received.* General Langeron has arrived at Bucharest, to take the command in Wallachia : but the corps of General Schubatoff, which was to occupy the Principalities, is now ordered to reinforce the grand army, the efforts of which will be directed to the object of taking, before the end of the cam paign, the entrenchments and fortress of Shumla, and the important position of Varna. We just learn that General Scherbaloff's corps will remain in Wallachia, and push .the siege of the fortresses on the Danube. The South corps will join the Grand Army. General Langeron seems to be destined to act rather as Military Governor of the Priacipalities than as Comaander-in- Chief. PHESSA, AUG. 18.—No news has been received froM the theatre of war; and that of the surrender of Varna, circulated at Jassy, is therefore unfounded. The notice was premature. The capture of some vessels by Admiral Greig, which was indeed very important, has been confounded with the bombarding and storming of that place. (From the Courier Francais of Tuesday.) PARIS, SEPT. G.—RUPTURE OT iN EGOCIATIONS, AND CONTINUATION OF TILE WAR IN TUE EAST.— The last news from the theatre of war do not yet announce any great progress to have been made in the military operations; but they perfectly contra dict the reports which bad been current, respecting an armistice said to have been concluded between the two armies, and during which negotiations were, to have commenced. It appears, however, from what has transpired of the contents of the des patches which have reached the Government, that some attempts have been made for the re-establish ment of peace; and that the journey of the Empe ror of Russia to Odessa had partly for its object to consider the propositions announced to him. We are assured that Lord Heytesbury had declared that the Porte was ready to adhere to the Treaty of the 6th of July, to yield to Russia the two Principali ties, and to pay her an indemnity for the expellees of the campaign, in return for which the Emperor was to withdraw his armies on the other side of the Danube. It may, perhaps, be thought strange that England, having no longer any Ambassador at Con stantinople, should know so well the intentions of the Porte, and should undertake to be its organ ; but Austria has preserved some inti mate relations with the Divan, and as, at the present conjuncture, the views of Austria and England are almost identical, as those two powers have an equal fear of the progress of Russia, we can perfectly conceive that the wishes of the Divan, transmitted to M. Metternich, should have been promptly known by the Duke of Wellington, and announced to the Emperor of Russia by an English Ambassador. These overtures have not succeeded. The Emperor Nicholas could not discover in these offers the inviolable pledges for the free navigation of the Black Sea, mentioned in his manifesto. In consequence of this, the negotiation was broken off almost as soon as it was commenced. Metternich and Wellington must find other combinations : it is pretended that the latter, to avoid the results of his want of foresight, and to check events by which he feels himself mere and more mastered, would not be far from trying the extreme resource painted out by Mr. Canning in a memorable speech; but that was the thought of a man of genius, and genius alone could put it into effect. If mediocrity touched it, misfortunes and follies could alone result from it. The English Journals announce that a credit has been opened at Constantinople for Lord Heytes bury, who is to go there to fulfil a mission of peace. Probably, when this credit was opened'., calculations were made on the success of the overtures which the English Envoy was to make to the Emperor Ni cholas. Now that these overtures have been re jected, it is to he believed that Lord Heytesbury will not go to Constantinople. If he went there at a moment when the war appears to assume a new degree of fury, his mission would be far from pre senting a pacific appearance. All the news through Germany speak of the im „nose preparations of the Russians, an d t h e great reinforcement s which have joined their army. Pro bably, received vester .

They were visited on board by several of the Jews of this town, and supplied with some better provisions. Plymouth Journal. THE GLOVE TRADE.—WC are sorry that we cannot report any improvement in this trade. The quan tity of gloves manufactured is very seriously lessened.— The Dorset. Chronicle says that at Yeovil the manufac turers are collectively dressing upwards of 10,000 skins per month less than in December and January last. This great defalcation of the trade is attributed chiefly to the injudicious introduction of French gloves into the market, to the great injury of the English manufacturer.— Worcester Journal.

CHAMPION, from New York, Papers to the 17th ult. have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. It appears that BOLIVAR, after having been invested with the powers of a Dictator, resolved upon adopt ing some forcible measures as a proof of his au thority. Acting upon this principle he de clared war again - it Peru for an invasion of Bolivia—a country for which BOLIVAR seems to entertain some particular, if not undue, affec tion, probably because it is called after himtelf. But whatever be the cause, we think that Bo- LIVA R has not acted wisely in courting foreign war before he has sufficiently suppressed intes tine commotion. We hope that he is not wing this war as a pretext for obtaining a sufficient army for ulterior purposes of personal ambition. We express this hope because the recent ac counts of BOLIVAR'S conduct are not altoge ther in keeping with his previous disinterested ness, and high scorn of the title of regal power— for he confessedly enjoyed all the attributes of , unlimited authority. We sincerely trust, for his own fame, as well as for that of patriotism, that BOLIVAR will not add another to the long roll of successful warriors who, after defending the liberties of their country from foreign aggression, destroyed them for their personal ambition and aggrandizement:— The following is from Mexico, and of a later date than our former advice. :—By the United States schooner Shark, at New York, which arrived last evening (the 15th of August) from Tampico, we learn that the country was quiet, and the old Spaniards, who had been removed from the coast, were returning to their dwellings with permission of the Government. All apprehension of invasion was over. The Shark sailed on the 12th of July from Tampico, and from the Havannah on the Bth of August, with 60,000 dollars in specie for sundry merchants. Commodore Laborde had sailed with his squadron to join the convoy from Spain which had been seen eff Cape St. Antonio, and was daily expected at Havannah. (From a New York Paper of the 13th August.) LATEST FROM CO LOM has been hasty in using the extraordinary (that is, unlimited) powers demanded for him by the factionists of ovate of the principal cities cif his country, and conferred on him by ti4e Council of State. He has published a proclamation, dated at Bogota, addressed to the. inhabitants of Colombia and Bolivia, calling on them to take up arms, and to re venge the insult offered by Peru, in invading the territory of the latter Republic. This proclamation, of considerable length, is published by the Carthagena Gazette of July 20, one week later than before received. The same paper contains official letters from the President of Bolivia and from Co lombia, certifying the fact of invasion, and assenting to an union of force, or a co-operation. We may give this in teresting but lamentable step more in detail hereafter. The news was received after the following paragraphs, founded on news from Philadelphia, were written. We did not anticipate so hasty and inhuman a measure from the Liberator. CotonstA.—The brig President, arrived at Philadel phia in eleven days from Lagnayra, brings news of the de claration in favour of Bolivar's accepting the supreme com mand, made by the citizens on the 18th of July. In Va lencia a similar measure was taken on the 15th. The following is a proclamation to the inhabitants of Venezuela, informing them that the Liberator has been in ve►ted with the supreme authority, for the purpose of esta blishing that public tranquillity which the author of this very document disturbed, preserving the union which he dissevered, and restoring the laws which he invaded with arms in his hands, and which, but for him, might have been inviolate to this day. It is worthy of remark how, like certain individuals in ancient history, Paez, the restless military aspirant, can all at once assume a very pacific aspect, and plead for peace, law, and order, when circumstances bring such subjects into fashion, and promise him most advantage from using them. REPUBLIC OF COLOMBIA. Jose A. Paez, superior Chief of Venezuela, &c. to the Intendant of this Department. I have the honour to inclose to you a copy of an Act passed at a meeting held on the 13th of June last, in the capital of the Republic, in which the In tendant of the Department of Cundenamarca, with the other civil and ecclesiastical authorities, fathers of families, and respectable proprietors, invested exclusively with the supreme command of the Republic, his Excellency the Liberator President, with full powers in all the branches of the Government, in order that he may organize them as may appear to hint most generally advantageous—pre serving the union of the Republic, securing its indepen dence, and re-establishing its credit abroad, at the same time revoking the power conferred on the Deputies to the Con vention from that province. You will also perceive that this solemn Act was nride known to the Council of Go vernment, which, by its communication of the same date, signifies its approbation of the steps taken; and finally, that his Excellency, the Liberator President, on the 16th of the same month, in the capital of Socano, officially an nounces that he is resolved to exert his authority and energy in the service of the State ; a copy or which accompanies this. Thus has been sanctioned the uniformly expressed wish of the people of the three departments under my command, and their ardent desires are manifested in their petitions, forwarded by me, that his Excellency the Liberator Pre sident should take upon him the supreme command of the State, preserving the unity of the Republic.

Be pleased to make known this praiseworthy act to the Illustrious Municipality, and to the inhabitants of this pro vince,. for their information, giving to its promulgation the solemnity due to an act as august as it is worthy of the Colombian people. (Signed) JOSE ANTONIO PAEZ. Bead-quarters, Valencia, 13th July, 1828. It will be seen by an extract of a letter of a later date from Lag,uayra, that every thing remained peaceable. Letters have been received from Laguayra this morn ing, of the 26th July, by which we are informed Bolivar had been named Supreme Chief of Venezuela on the 18th of that month at Caraccas, without the least opposition, and every thing remained perfectly quiet.

A Sincapore Paper of the 10th April has been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, its contents arc not important. The Commander-in-chief of the Naval Forces, on a late excursion to Tavoy, considered it as a most desirable naval station. Sir ARCHIE ALD CAMPBELL returned from Calcutta to Amherst on the 19th January. The payment of the third instalment, or balance, of the Burmese In demnity was to be made in February. A Chinese junk had lately arrived at Tavoy bringing to market 100,000 birds' skims in feather, which were sold at the high price of 40 dollars per hundred. These curiosities are used for ornamenting - Chinese dresses of cere mony. The ladies so attired would look pretty birds indeed ! The French Papers give no fresh news from the theatre of war. Every thing appears at a stand still till the attack of Shumla is de cided one way or other. In the meantime, it is said that Lord HEYTESBURY succeeds to ad miration in humbugging the Emperor of RUSSIA and all his Councillors. He has sent word to Vienna that " The Russian Cabinet has repeated the assurance that it will not make conquests, and that the EMPEROR has verbally renewed it to Lord HEYTESBURY. These accounts have bee n sent to London' by an Extraordinary Courier." If this be true, it will prove " glorious news" for the Duke of WELLINGTON. But his Grace had better not make too sure. The Russians are more crafty than the Duke gives them credit for. The French Funds closed on Tuesday at Five per Cents. 107 f. 50c. ; Three per Cents. 74f. 20c.

Immediately on this a report was circulated, that the Dutch steamer had brought Russian Stock one per cent. lower, which produced a decline in Consols to 88i. The receipt of the Dutch Papers, contradicting the veracity of this rumour, it being shown by the Stock List that these Foreign Securities maintained their prices, except a trifling depression in Danish, the market had a re-action to 88ii- with the aid of a few good buyers ; it appears therefore, the attempt was a mere ruse de guerre to enable certain speculators to frighten their timid friends out of a little cheap stock, is which they suc ceeded. The Commissioners paid 88i; India Bonds are imprdied from 86 88 to 87 89 pm.; Exchequer Bills remains 72 73. In the Foreign Funds the principal business doing has been in Colombian Stock, which became much depressed on the arrival of the New York Pa pers, which announced information of a warlike tendency on the part of Bolivar against Peru, and the Bonds went down to 22. The alarm was, however, soon over, from the receipt of letters some days later from this quarter, which represent every thing perfectly quiet, and that no opposition was made to the declaration either at the Caraccas or Valencia, announcing the Liberator as Dic tator, and the present quotation is 231.

We learn from Spa, that an attempt has lately been made to assassinate Dr. GAIADNER, of Bolton-street, who late in the evening, when passing through the street was felled by some miscreant by a blow from behind ; coming to himself, he with difficulty reached home, when it was discovered he had received a cut through the collar of his coat from some sharp i n strument, the thi c k ness o f t h e collar having probably preserved his life. The circum stance has naturally o ccasioned a great sensation amongst the English residents, among whom is the Marquis at BUTE, and several other persons of rank, who are indefa tigable in their exertions to procure the necessary evltince against the offender. We are happy to add, for the satis faction of the friends of Dr.GAIRDNER, that when the laSt accounts left be was considervl out of danger. OLD BAILEY—(MS DAY.) OLD COURT.
