SMALL NOTE CURRENCY. 0 - ItOM A CORRESPONDENT.) - SUNDERLAND, MAY 21. whatever his Majesty's Ministers may think of t he matter, it is quite evident that the commercial interest in the northern part of England anticipate tothing but embarrassment and inconvenience from the projected measure of extinguishing the Small N ote circulation. The Coal Owners on the Wear, an influential hody of men, have drawn up a petition to the House of Commons, in which they protest, in the strongest 14 ftnner, against the withdrawal of a circulation Which has been found so beneficial to trade during the last 30 years ; and they submit a now fact in hrour of the Small Note system :—They say," that during the circulation of small local Bank N o t es , Il ighway'robbery has been a crime of very rare oc tNn'ence in the North of England, in consequence of the difficulty of disposing of such Notes. But )'eur petitioners fear that a return to a metallic cur rency would hold out such a great temptation, that } lihway robbery would frequently take place, parti cularly as it is well known in the neighbourhood that your petitioners are obliged to send 3,0001. or 4 )0015/, for each pay, from their bankers residing !t a distance of eight or ten miles, by a man on norseback, to their respective collieries." We cer !'aibly agree with the Wear Coq Owners, that this I„'4nothing less than a very formidable argument in . 'lvour of the existing Small Note Currency.

It was stated by -41 ocx5tiorr that he was present at some of the ex_ tc tu euta, and that one oun c e of gunpowder, projected to 'tatice of 175 yards (point blank), a ball of fourteen N. 2 48 weight, and it afterwards penetrated the earth feet. In another experiment it fired a shot of 18 ti t ' l rls, with the same quantity of powder, and destroyed t g :Kt tree. The most extraordinary part of this inyen -4 * us that the shot is fired withont a cannon, and it entionesi by the lecturer that the great saying in the Iti l , ir ' L ts Particularly in ship carriage, would be very con flt,ra°le, as to fire a shot of twelve pounds in the ordinary ti,i,erould require a cannon of 22 hundred weight, and a 'N,.'ege of about 10 ditto; whereas Mr. Sirvirit's invention *tizo!Nuired a stock or bar of iron of about one hundred tl'tZ,' This mode of gunnery is not confined to any 6.4 1 ei therefore any sized or shaped shot may be projected th e same stock. The lecturer also stated that he 'it tl ,/ i k epared, i n a roug h manner , a small model to show t. trti 4 „"Petirnents upon, but upon trial found that two t h o w ; o f gun wder drove a one ounce and a half shot II thin real planks, and afterwards bounded about ) :', 4 d : ° „ t " , so as to be dangerous; he thought it therefore t 7lt ‘ ;` t o desist from the experiment in a crowded place. lie 4, 41 stds gave his opinion of the cause produced by this !viiitiquaatity of gunpowder, which was, that the recoil h i Nt lt ' • t4 kos place in ordinary gunnery is by Mr. SIEVIER'S ' a k ttlt: °ll given to the shot; he entered learnedly into the „,,"'st 4 f recoil, an d e l uc id a t e d ;t by many fact s , an d prove d t4 l recoil took place till the shot had left the muzzle gtol.

CORN-EXCHANGE. Last week there was a short arrival of nearly every kind of Corn, but a good quantity of Flour coastwise._ This morning the fresh supplies are again moderate of Wheat, and very trifling- of other descriptions of Grain. The best parcels of Wheat Were taken off readily by our mil lers, at the terms last quoted, some few select have reached per quarter ; middling and inferior qualities are held at their late value, with a dull sale. Barley meets a heavy trade at late quotations. Beam and Pease are both scarce, and fully maintain the terms of this day se'nnight. The quantity of Oats for sak appears to be decreasing, as some extenrire sales have been ma - de to clear the ships, but higher prices cannot yet be obtained. The top price of Flour is unaltered; for all bit the best there is a very heavy trade. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, fled (old) --s. -s. Beans, Small (new)... •15s. 475.

MR. 1 RVING's LECTURES.-----Thursda y morning the Rev. Mr. In .vino, from London, commenced his course of twelre lectures on the Prophecies, in St. Andrew's Church. The reverend gentleman, in this in troductory discourse, chose for his text, Acts xrii, 15, What will this babbler say ?" The views of the rever end gentleman regarding the second coming of CHRIST are not only novel, but directly opposed to the almost universal belief of both our Scottish and English Divines. True, be professed to agree with the doctrines contained in the Confession of Faith, and with the articles of our Church, viz. that CitiosT will come to judge both the quick and the dead ; but, that at his coming, which, he affirmed, will be very so on, he will only th en j u dge the lining, an d with his saints on earth, reign or judge a thousand years, (which will he the Millenium), and then at the close of that period, judge the dead. The Jews, he said, will be gathered to Canaan under ELIAS, their temple rebuilt, and there CHRIST will reign bodily, g ivin g laws to la explain, st to all the world. Th e reveren d gen tl e man p his torically, th e Old Testament Scriptures, beginning with man previous to thel fall, and gradually going forward through the Jewish history till the destruction of that nat4int by the Roman Emperors, showing all its bearings on tie grand point which he has in view, namely, the second advent of CHRIST, when he will appear with his saints personally to reign a thousand years...-Edin burgh Conran/. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. POtzTSMOUTII, MAY 24:—The Galatea, 42, Capt. Sir Charles Sullivan, Bart. arrived on Thursday, after a qttick passage from Malta, having sailed thence on the evening of the 4th inst. Navarin, Medon, and Alexandria, were under blockade, by the ships of this and the French nation. The Russian squadron, which was expected to be reinforced by Six sail of the line from the Black Sea, had proceeded to the Archipelago: The Ocean, bearing the flag of the Vic6.Admiral Sir E: Codringft, with the :Etna and Infernal bombs, were lying at Malta. The French Admiral de Rigny was at Smyrna. The Warspite, with some French ships, was cruising off Navarin; she was shortly to proceed to Xgina, to communicate with Count Capo The Glasgow and Dryad were off Alexandria the former will return to England on being relieved by the Blonde. The Isis, with the broad pendant of Sir Thos. Staines, was still at Carabusa, following up, with great activityalestruction to piracy in tha* quarter. All accounts agree in stating that a very cordial feeling exists with the Russian and French Officers towards those of Great Britain, but it is understood that between the Russians and French, there is not, evidently, that friendly understanding which marks the intercourse of both with the English. During the short period the Galatea was at Alexandria, o n the occasion of conveying Colonel Cradock, for the purpose of holding a communication with Moham med Paella, the officers and men generously sub. scribed a sufficient sum of money to redeem from slavery one of the females included in that hapless number who were cruelly torn from the Morea by the Egyptians. The Galatea spoke the Talbot on the 7th, on her passage from Marseilles to Malta, and called off Algiers, where the Consul communi cated that an Algerine vessel had captured a French frigate, by surprise, and carried her into • Bona.— The Galatea, it is expected, will convey our Am bassador, Lord Heytesbury, to St. Petersburgli. The Challenger, 28, Captain Fitzclarence, may be hourly expected from Lisbon. She eailed from the Tagus on the Bth instant. Arrived this morning, the Onyx transport, Lieut. Decceurdoux, agent, with stores and invalids, under charge of Dr. Miller, from Malta, after a long pas sage; and the Amity transport from Deal. The Spartiate, 76, Captain F. Warren, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Lord Amelius Beauclerk, K.C.8., arrived en Thursday from Lisbon, after a tedious pasghge of 22 days, having left the Tagus on the Ist inst. The Spartiate has brought home, be sides her own complement of Royal Marines, that detachment of the corps which garrisoned Fort St. Julien, and which were withdrawn from the fort on the 29th ult. His Lordship struck his flag this afternoon, and the Spartiate came into the harbour, to be docked and refitted. The Lyra, 10, Captain Kingcombe, and the Falcon, 10, Lieut. W. F. Lapidge, arrived this ' morning from Plymouth. They bring about twenty thousand pounds in specie, which the British mer chants shipped on board these vessels on their leaving the Tagus, on the 13th instant. This shipment is not to be construed into any alarm on the• part of the British merchants, as to the security of their property at Lisbon, but to be considered in the light only of a mercantile remittance. The Terror bomb, Capt. D. Hope, was hove down at Lisbon for repairs. The Falcon will come into harbour to be paid off, and her crew turned over to the Spartiate. On Thursday arrived the Southworth transport, Lieutenant Sanders, agent, in 33 days from Ber muda, sixteen of which she had been struggling in the Channel. Archdeacon Spencer and Lady, Li€uts. Nugent and M'Kenzie, of the 79th Regi ment, Mrs. Hire and family, and Mrs. Hutchinson and family', a re among t h e passengers by her. She brings home returned stores of various descriptions, with naval and military invalids, and a few pardoned convicts. The convicts at Bermuda were proceed ing rapidly with the Dock-yard and Breakwater, the latter of which had been carried out into forty-five feet water. The Columbine, 18, was the only man of-war left at Bermuda, Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, with the Hussar, 46, Tyne, 28, and Acorn, 18, having sailed for Halifax on the 10th ult.; the Contest gun-brig, was daily expected with a supply of specie; the Manly was at Newfoundland. The South worth is ordered , o discharge her stores at Woolwich and Deptford, and will take round an officer and 70 Royal Marines from the Spartiate, to the Chatham division, which men lately formed part of the gar risen of Fort St. Julien, in the Tagus. The Blonde frigate, Capt. E. Lyons, was at Gib raltar, on the Bth inst. The Wasp, 18, Com mander R. Dickinson, arrived there from Plymouth, on the 27th ult. The Wellesley, 74, Captain F. Maitland, C.E. is fitting for the Mediterranean. Ships at Spithead--Wellesley, Galatea, Lyra, Falcon, Royalist. In Harbour—Victory, Spartiate. Captains Bates and Payne, of the Chatham Divi sion of Royal Marines, are appointed to succeed Lieutenant-Colonel Nichol!, and Captain Langden, at the Island of Ascension. Sir Robert Seppings, F.R.S., oae of the Sur veyors of the Navy, has this week given his attend ance at this port, to take a survey of the ships in ordinary and under repair. Sir Robert proceeds from this to Plymouth for the same purpose. Alajor•General the Hon. G. A. C. Stapyltoa, Chairman, and Dr. 'Weir, one of the Commissioners of the Victualling Board, have this week paid a visit to this port, for the purpose of giving directions re lative to the transfer of that branch of the depart ment here to Weovil. The determination to which the Victualling Board has arrived, is to offer the whole of the extensive stores on the South side of King-street, with the residence of the Agent Victualler in St. Thomas's -street, to public sale. We must repeat our complaint at the impolicy of removing the Victualling Establishment to Weevil, and still persuade ourselves, that if representations, as strong as the case imperiously demands, were made to the proper authorities, the enormous expense attend ing it, upon the principle of its being uncalled for by public exigency, might yet be saved to the coun try. It is now discovered that, to enable vessels to take in stores at Weovil, at certain times of tide, and to increase required wharfage. it is indispensable to run out a jetty: this measure, with the formation of a basin, which is contemplated, it is said, will not only be a serious injury to, and innovation of the harbour, but will increase the expence of the remo val of this bmuch of the service, to a sum little short of a million sterling. So far from the charge being calculated to benefit the service, competent Naval Officers are decidedly of opinion that it will be im peded by it, from the increased distance of the spot from the ships at anchor at Spithead; the incon venience that will arise on this score, indeed, is con sidered so great, that it is not improbable there will be occasions, and those not 'infrequent, when the necessary supplies cannot be obtained in time for the seamen's dinner hour. There are, in fact, so many considerations against the policy of this extravagant step, it is still trusted, far as the measure has pro ceeded, it will yet be abandoned.

HORSE-STEALING. During the last two or three years, the crime of horse stealing has prevailed to an extent scarcely to be credited : in the course of this time, probably thousands of horses have been stolen throughout England. So great has been the apprehension of losing these animals, that In many places persons have not ventured to turn them out into the fields, but have been constrained to keep them in the stable on dry food, much to the injury of their health.— The actual stealers of horses are generally low fellows of desperate character, who fetch . them from different parts of the country, and supply the receivers in London and other large towns. The price which the latter give is very small—probably, in many instances, not one-tenth of the real value. Some time back two horses were stolen from the stable of a clergyman and magistrate, about thirty miles from London ; for one of these, which was a tho rough-bred hunter, the owner had been bid 150 guineas a short time before ; yet for both the horses it has been as certained, the parti , .m who stole them really received onlylo/. which, however, was pretty well for one night's work. An opinion has generally prevailed. that many of those stolen are exported, and this opinion has been encouraged for the purpose of inducing pasties to give up further in quiry as useless. The truth is, very few horses are sent abroad ; the receivers have connexions in various parts of this country, to whom their consignments are made ; the counties of Hants, Kent, and Sussex, and the west of England, have been supplied very liberally. Thom who traffic stolen horses have also the faculty of altering and disguising them in a manner which is scarcely to be con ceived of. An instance occurred not long since of a gentleman losing a valuable mare, which he afterwards purchased add kept some time without recognising, until an accident befalling her, she was killed, when the farrier ascertained, from the remaining mark of an operation which had been performed, that she was the identical ani mal which had been stolen. Horses which have been stolen, it is well known have run for a length of time in night coaches, not very far from the neighbourhood from which they were stolen. It is not an uncommon thing for dealers in stolen horses to rub the hair off the knees, or otherwise blemish a valuable and thorough-bred horse, for the purpose of having a reason for selling it into har ness ; and thus many a horse worth an hundred guineas has been sold for thirty-five or forty pounds ; which sums would, however, afford a handsome profit to the receiver. There is reason to believe that the iniquit ous traffic which is the subject of these remark s h as l ate l y rece i ve d a consi derable check. A pretty large proportion of notorious dealers have become entangled in the net of the law, and severa l of them have exp er i ence d t h at i t i s possible that htfor a sti hempen the generousous and us e f u l qua d rupe d, can b y or d er i court of justice be a p p li e d to anot h er purpose. I t i s said a inmg ligature call e d a h alter, wh i ch is used for thatre straining the operatio ns o f t h e stealers and rece i vers of es are likely to experi ence a f ur th er c h ec k i n conse pence of informatio n given by a convi c t, who was found guilty not long since upon thr e e s e veral indictments, for ea ch of which he w as sentence d to f our t een y ears ' trans portation: This i n di v id ua l h av i ng b een o n e o f the most said pen extensive dealers in stolen horses, and being thoroughly-ac quainted with the whole mystery of iniquity, not much relished the prospect of 42 years' exile, has volunteered to make disclosures for the public benefit, in order to obtain a mitigation of his punishment ; and it is understood that it has been thought expedient that his proposals should be, on certain conditions, acceded to. There is, perhaps, no measure more likely to prove embarrassing to criminal offenders, than to make it constantly appear to them that they are in dang er of being betrayed by their associates, In general thieves are staunch to those of their own cha racter to a degree which would be honoUrable in a good cause ; whatever, therefore, may have a tendency to shake the confidence which these persons repose in each other, cannot fail to prove very advantageous to the pub lic security, The Marquis de PA.LNIELLA resigned his functions on the 22d instant, as Ambassador from the Court of Portugal.

On Saturday the match hetWeeft the Fairy and the Don Giovanni took place, the distance being ftcm Blackwall to Gravesend and back. The tinte appointed for the start was eleven o'clock, the place being off the Folly House Tavern, Blackwall: within two minutes of the above time the signal was given, and both boats were in an instant occupied in the necessary manoeuvre to bring themselves round to the tide. The Don, by being somewhat the quickest in this, took the lead, and continued it to within a mile of Faith Reach, when the Pithy, by a long tack got a-head ofbee. tip to this time, the betting was five to four in favour of the Don, but no soditt was the Fairy half a length a-head than she became the favourite, adel!ly o we believe, from a notion that was pretty generally enter tained that the Don was too cranie a boat for the lively breeze that had been stirring since about nine o'clock, and was every minute rising in its power. For the next four or five miles the boats continued so nearly together that the backers of each insisted, as often as a change of tack `carried the boats wide of each other, that their favourite was the headmost boat: by the time, however, that the Fairy was opposite Greenhithe, it was too evident to the Don's friends that she was at least five hundred yards a head of the Spaniard. In this position, with a gradual advantage in favour of the Fairy, the vessels approached the flag-boat moored off Gravesend, round which it syss necessary for them to pass. This the Fairy accomplished at sixteen minutes past one, having accomplished the first half of her journey in two hours and fourteen minutes the Don performed the same operation about three minutes and a half after her rival, by which it would seem, calcu lating by the rate at which the whole passage had been accomplished, that she was about two-thirds of a mile behind the Fairy. The Don had the best of it coming back —that is to say, she gradually gained on the Fairy; and we are inclined to believe, that if she had put on her third reef at Gravesend, instead of this side Woolwich, she would have puzzled the Fairy. As it was, the latter still kept a-head, and was, we should think, when close to Black wall, about a quarter of a mile before the Don : at this point the Fairy men made some mistake as to the winning buoy, and, conceiving that they had reached the goal, they very leisurely began to haul down their sails.—Oh, Spirit of Babel ! what a concatenation of sounds struck up nn the instant from the divers snug births on board the Royal Sovereign!—" Go on !"—" Oh, you fools !"—" That's not the buoy !"—" The Don will beat you !"—cum multis aliis, all at one time, and all in different voices, broke forth from the worthies who had betted the long odds and short odds, and no odds at all, against the Giovanni. The Fairy men looked somewhat aghast at the greeting. At first they mistook it for the hurrah of victory, and they did honour to the idea by sending back a jolly hurrah in return. What was this but adding fresh fuel to the flame ? So away went all throats again. "Go on !"—" Oh, you fools!" (Ike. &c.) were repeated again, and this time accompanied with sundry cunning pantomimic devices, by which those of the Fairy were to understand that part of their :work still remained to be done. At length the elpbin-folk took the hint, and hauled away their sails to their former ele vation, but by this time the Giovanni was even with, if not before them, and by a superior tack took the decided lead of them in about a minute. At this the Fairy turned sulky, and down went the sails again—yet not altogether down, for once again they were raised, and in about three minutes after the sailors of the Dom had taken their boat round the buoy, according to their idea of the matter, those of the Fairy made a complete circuit of the mark they ought to have reached five minutes before. On the whole we thick it very likely, if this race should end in a wrangle, that the match will be tried over again, in which case we shall have another opportunity of judging of the respective merits of the boats. Prince LEoPOLD entertained a select party to dinner yesterday, at Marlborough House, Pall-mall. Prince LEOPOLD has postponed his entertain ment this evening, in consequence of the ball given by his MAJESTY at his palace in St. James ' s.

INSTINCT OF A SIIEER.—A gentleman of Inverness, on a recent journey in the Mighlands, while passing through a lonely and unfrequented district, ob served a sheep hurrying towards the road before him, as if to intercept his progress, and at the same time bleating most piteously. On approaching nearer, the animal re doubled its cries, and looking significantly in the face of the traveller, see med to implore some favour or assicance at his hands. Touched with a sight so unusual, the gen tleman alighted, and, l eav i ng his gig, followed the sheep, to a field in the direction whence it carne. There in a so litary cairn, at a c onsiderable distance front the road, the sheep halted, and our traveller found a lamb completely wedged in betwixt two largestones of the cairn, and strug gling feebly with it legs uppermost.
