Dutch Five per Cents. have been sold at 100 i 1011 ; and Brazilian has declined from 66 to 64 1 4, but. without any other reason apparently than the great disinclination to deal. Mexican is quoted at 37k. In Shares business has been very limited, and confined to Great Western Half-Shares, 616 tfla ; South Western, 60i ; Eastern Counties, 9 1 4 ; Brighton, 34; and Edinburgh and Glasgow, 466. Colombian Bonds are quoted at 224, 1 ; Portuguese Threes, 21i Spanish Five per Cents., .211 i ; and the Three per Cents., 22i. 't he Express packet has arriv?d, with accounts from Rio to the 28th of April. The demand for European goods hied somewhat improved, but the stocks of them were still far too heavy to admit of any advance in prices, and there being no certainty against fresh imporiations, merchants could not he induced to enter into transactions by the present low-rates, but could only purchase for their immediate wants, conse quently the larger part of them was held on consignees' account. The state of the weather having been extremely favoui able, it was expected that the forthcoming crop of coffee would be much lager than usual. The last showed a great. increase over those of former years, lv..t the exces sive rains so deteriorated the quality, as to render the larger prtion of it in.fit fur exportation, to the serious loss of the planters. This article was extensively introduced here, by the way of the Cape of Good Hore, arid although not a very great law:mite for consumption by itself, on account of its de licate flavour, which by many sealers was denominatedweak ness," yet it has been gradually gaining ground in public esti mation. The operation of the new duty will doubtless affect. this description, and allow much of it to be used, by which the prices of all kinds will be materially kept clown. The rate of Exchange, which had 'teen materially depressed, had somewhat recovered, being 27 1 A 274, or a trifle helow what it stood at for a keg time. _ _ There are numerous arrivals from all (porters, but of old dates, especially from :he Au , tralian colonies. Li tters from New Zi , aland do not give such satisfactory ac counts, as the last would have led to the anticipation of. The colonists were stiil goirg on favourably, and rapily forming new settlements ; but the natives, who hitherto had been ex ceedingly quiet, i:nd apprreiftly inclined to be peaceable, had lately shown a feeling of hostility to the Europeans. It is stated they do not understand, or approve of the lands, which they have always considered to be their own, being appropriated by foreigners, and seenied disinclined to abide by the arrange ments entered into by their chiefs. AL hiregh this cannut pre vent, yet it may greatly retard, the pro . 2ress of the settlers ; but it was expectert that the differences might be shortly arranged. 1 ) 11;CE!.: OF SHARES THIS DAY Al' ONE, It A ILWAYS.

'ADJOIMNED DEBATE ON ; THE AFFGITAN wen. The Court of Proprietors of East India Company's Stock met this morning at the East India Room, pursuant to agreement, to resume the debate on theituotion of Mr. 1). Sa!onions, " That whereas the war in Affghanistan had been undertaken for nivional purpoSes, it was the opinion of the Court that the ex penses of that war ought not to be thrown on_ the people of India, but should be borne by the Exchequer of the United Kingdom," which had been submitted to the Court on Wednesday, and the debate on which had been adjourned to this day. Sir J. L. LUSHINGTON, the Chairman of the Court of Directors, took the chair at twelve o'clock. The minutes of the I,st Court having bean read, . Mr. Lewis rose fiur the putpose of resuming the f:le • bate on Mr. Salomon's motion. As the natives of India were not represented in the British Parliament, it be hoved the Company, as the guardians of those natives, to beware lest, by any supineness or neglect on its part, the interests of India should suffer. Tha present motion was brought forward for that purpose ; to protect India from an evil of the greatest magnitude. If the expenses of the Affghan war were to be borate by India, great financial embarrassment must follow, a necessity for the imposition of additional taxation would arise, and - dis content among the natives would be the necessary con sequence. It was their duty to avert this evil, which, if once inflicted, they would seek in vain to remove. If it could be shown that the Affghan war had been. undertaken solely to maintain a predominating influ ence for this country in Central Asia, in opposition to the influence of Persia and Russia, and if it should be proved that the war itself was unnecessary and unjust, then he apprehended the motion would be agreed to, with scarcely a dissentient voice. The Shah of Persia had resolved to obtain satisfaction from Prince Kamram. of Herat, for aggressions committed by the Prince of Herat in the Persian territories. That the Shah was justified in so doing was admitted in the letter of Mr. Ellis in 1836; and in Sir John M`Niel's letter, dated 24th February, 1837, that gentlethan expressly admitted that the Shah was perfectly justified in making war upon Herat. It appeared, however, that the Persian Mo narch had ulterior views, and was desirous of add ing Candahar and Caubul to his own domi nions, the rulers of which countries had made overtures to him, and were prepared to second his views. It appeared also that the Russian Ambassador had in stigated the Shalt to attack Herat, for the purpose of in creasing the influence of Russia. The British Govern ment was bound by treaty not to interfere if war arose between' Affghanistan and Persia, except at the re -quest of the belligerent Powers. The British Govern ment, however, in the present case, determined not to be bound by the terms of that treaty. Sir John M'Neil's remonstrances at the Persian Court against the attack of Herat were unsuccessful, and in July, 1837, the Persian forees marched to undertake the siege. The object of the British Government was to pre vent Russia getting an ascendancy in Central Asia through the mediuni of Persia, and in order to carry out that policy Sir John M'Neil requested the Governor-General of India, with whom he had throughout these transactions maintained com munications, to order the Bombay Government to send cruisers and troops to the Persian Gulf to make a de monstration to back the remonstrances of the British envoy at the Court of I'et sin. The Governor-General was then informed by Sir John M'Neil of the ill success of his negotiations with Persia, of his (Sir John M'Neil's) withdrawal from that Court, and of the cessation of all diplomatic intercourse between the two countries. This was proved by the celebrated de claration of Simla. The liovernor-General was, at the same time. nips(' to send forces for the purpose of defending Herat, in order to prevent Persia front be coming the pioneer of Russia. That wits his reason for marching forces into Affghanistan. The Governor-Ge neral sent troops to Alfghanistan, to carry out the views of the British Government. and to place a barrier to the advance of Russia. In August, 1838, the Shah of Persia raised the siege of Herat ; at the same time the Russian Government disavoWed all participation in the acts of its agent in Persia. It disavowed all intention of making any attempt ta establish its supremacy in Cen tral Asia, and therefore all hostilities on our part ought to have ceased immediately. It before the siege of Herat, a war against Affghanistan would have been unjustifiable and impolitic,. it was equally so after the siege of Herat had been raised. The British Government, however, still prosecuted its views of conquest, for the purpose of creating a barrier against the possible advance of Russia, through Persia, upon Atighanistan—and they directed the Governor-General to prosecute those views. nig land been distinctly ad mitted the other night by Sir John Hobhouse in the House of Commons. Now let them look to the cause of the war. The avowed object of the war was to arrest H-ssian encroachments on Affghunistan, and that ob ject was to be effected by placing the Shah Soojah upon the throne of Affghainstan, and expelling Post Ma homed from the sovereignty. Upon what principle was the British Government justified ? Post Mahomed and the rulers of Candaliar had done no injury what ever.' Has they insulted a single messenger of the Government ? No. He had in the first instance offered his alliance to Pi rsia, and that was at a time when it was admitted that Persia was justified in making tan attack on his Government. Post Mahomed after warilt sought our alliance, as he was anxious to avoid the, alliance with Persia. .Thy; look at the conduct of Dust ;Alahomed as fir "Its -I.,.garded England. Sir A. Burnes said in a !otter in 1836, that he (post Mithorned) wi.bed our Coe, iperation for extending the navigation of the Indus. How was Sir Alexanderßurnes received? He said himself .that he was received with demonstrations of joy, and the utmost respect. Sir Alexander Burnes, in a letter dated th e. -tith of October, 1837, said th a t Post Mahomed • listened with gr6itt attention to what the Government of England pro posed, and he was quite ready to enter into the views of the British Government, as he found that by so doing his customs were increasine% In an interview which • took place between Post Mahomed and Sir Alexander Burnes, Post Mahomed stated the political difficulty in which he was involved to Sir A. Burnes. lie said that Mysore had been invested and Affghanistan had been entered by Shah Soojah, and was in the power of Runjeet Sing, and whilst it was so oc cupied he (Post Mahomed) could not be in tranquillity, and lie could not feel himself secure in his dominions. lie knew that our influence with Rutajeet Sing was powerful. He wished us to give our aid to interfere with litnueet Sing. lie asked Sir Alexander Burnes whether we were willing to assist him against Persia.. What was our answer? The saute as before ; we refused to interfere or give him as sistance. Thus rejected. with Persia advancing into the country, he again revel ted to au alliance with Persia. Now this was perfectly consistent. As an independent sovereign he was perfectly justified in doing so ; and yet it was for this reason, and that. alone, that we thought proper to march our forces into Affghanistan. What was the policy of this Go vernment ? The object of the war was to raise a barrier against Russia, and to effect that 'object to place Shah Soojah on the throne of Affghanistan. Where wits the wisdom of selecting Shah Soojah, who had been many years expelled from his throne by his own sub jects ? He had been, up to: 1832, pi nsioned on the bounty of the British Government. In. 1832 he made an application to Lord Bentinek, with a view to obtain the aid of the British Government, for the purpose of restoring him to the throne. lie said that mavy tribes were anxiois for his restorathm, as they were then suffering from tyranny, and they therefize wished his milder gorerement. Lord Bentinek stated to him that it was not the pleasure of the British Government to interfere with the quarrels of his neighbours. Notwithstanding this, Shah Soojah was determined to try his chance, and for that purpose as sembled a large force, but found grAtt difficulty in sup porting it from want of means.. A battle took place, and he was defeated. He afterwards met Post Mahomed, and other rulers of Affghanistan, and was defeated in a pitched battle, and took refuge in the British ter ritories. He lived in contempt, and it was thus lie was found- by the Governor-General of Indic. Where he (Mr. Lewis) would ask was the policy which selected such a person as that—imposing upon the British Go vernment an enormous expense of lives and treasure — for the purpose of placing him' on.the throne of Mfg-ha nistan ? and if he were placed on the throne, tie must be maintained by the same power. Nuw he (Mr. Lewis) would like to ask the Hon. Chairman, who it was that recommended this war ? The CHAIRMAN thought the Hon. Gentleman was sufficiently acquainted with East Indian affairs to know that in this case the Secret Committee had nothing whatever to do but sign the despatches, and have them ,sent. The Meetinglad not concluded when we went to press.) GERMAN OPERA.—This evening the performance of The Huguenots will be honoured with the presence of her Majesty, Prince Albert, the King and Queen of the Belgians, and all the Court. The present week is the last of the per formance at Covent-garden of the German company, which numbers among its - members names of such eminence as Lutzer and Staudigi. The excellence of these artistes is too well known to render comment necessary. It will be enough to say ' that Meyerbeer's Huguenots will be. performed on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Beethoven's Fi•ielio on Tuesday, and the Frieschutz on Thursday,--while on Saturday a variety of entertainments is promised. With so much talent as this company possesses, and with musical attractions of so high an order, it is much to be regretted' that public patronage has not hitherto been commensurate with its exertions ; but the opportunity still exists of evincing that German music and German singers are appreciated and understood in this country. Great praise is due to the efforts of Herr Staudigl, on whose sole responsibility rests the undertaking of the preent week, and who voluntarily incurs the risk of great loss, rather than witness the suffer ing of the numerous persons dependent 'on the success of the theatre. The exampb of self-sacrifice, so nobly set by Herr Stautligl, has been followed by most of the principal performers, who, in rendering their services, seek no personal advan tage. The public will doubtless sympathise with this feeling, ar.d make the last week of the German Company as memorable for its success as those which pre ce d e d i t f or t h e reverse. GROUSE.—The reports front our Correspondents in Scotland and in the vicinity of the Yorkshire Moors, are of the most cheering character. '1 hey all concur in stating that grouse will be found this season in more plenty than has been the case for several years past. This they attribute to the favourableness of theweather during the I eriod of incubation, which was neither too hot nor too wet ; either of which ex erne? generally provei fatal to tw o -thi r d s o f t h e young d ur i ng Itlrrat pro cess.

L. 3,1 CI El\ C li,. L© vv -STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A sturdy big beggartran, named sometimes Sutivan, and sometimes Leary, well known about the neighbourhood of St. Giles's and the Rookery as a most desperate character, was charged with begging, aid assaulting the officer in the execution of his duty. Polce constable F 47 stated that he found the prigoner 'on Saturday night drunk and 'begging in the &rand. He pro ceeded to take him into custody, when he struck witneQs seve ral times violently in the face, and kicked him so severely on the 1 , gs that he had Not been on duty since. Prisoner was very vto•ent, and it required fur or five policemen to take him to the station-house. Policeman F 65 knew the prisoner to have been a street beggar for several years. He went home drunk almost every night, arid was well known to the pel cc. Tyrt el, the gaoler, said that the prisoner hid been at that Court a great t•umber of times, and had been frequently con v:cted for lightir,g.. Pri,onef declared, so help him God, that he " never basked no harms of oc,body." • Mr; HALL said it was very evident that the prisoner was an old beggar, and a very violent une. This course of things must be put a stop to. He should commit him for three months to the House of Correction. Mrs. Sullivan, alias Mrs. Leary, the loving consort of the above-mentioned gentleman, was shortly afterwards brought up in custody of police-constable F 34, charged with walking off with about 510. of bacon from the shop of a respectable tradesman in Drury-lane. Three other pieces of bacon, weigh ing about 21b. each, were also found upon her. The case was fully proved against her, and Tyrrell stated that she was well known, and had been previouily convicted for the same offence. Thompson, F 39, added that he had frequently had the prisoner in etritody, and always on the charge of stealing bacon, for which article she appeared to have a most decided penchant. The prisoner said, "upon her cowl, she didn't mane to stale the bacon at all, at all. She was very partial to bacon, and sure wasn't she just going to pay for it when the gintleman . cotched hold of her, and gave her into custody?" Mr. HALL was not to be gammoned by any such blarney, and the prisoner was fully committed to take her trial. A Row n THE Worsens a.cafx.—Our red-faced little friend. the governor of St. Giles's workhou,e, whom we have been in the habit of calling Buckstone, but who did us the honour some time ago to call at our office and leave a card informing us that he is "Mr. R. Buxey, Governor of St. Giles' and Bloomsbury workhouse," made his appearance at this Court again to-day, to prefer a charge against a 3.oung man named Daniel Byrne, for riot and assault, &c., in the workhouse. It was very evident from the dignified air of pomposity about the worthy Governor, who was followed by a train of pauper gentry in pauper attire, that he considered the charge to be a very grave one, and one which would redound much to his credit. Into the witness box he marched, with the dignity which the Governor of a workhouse only can assume. " This morning," said the Governor, " I deskivered that the prisoner had been a cuitin a hole in the partition to get at the gals, which I tuk him afore the hoverseer. In consekevence o' that he ses he'll have my h—y life, and then he goes and breaks 44 panes o' glass, wally W. Ws." Then in an authori tative tone—" Come here, Mayo." Up walked poor Mayo, a pauper, who swore that he saw the prisoner break two panes ofglass PUlice-constable F I 19, was sent for to:the workhouse, and,on going acroFs the yard, he heard the pr6oner call out to the Governor, " thee'st better get out o' the way, or I'll punch thy head." Another witness heard the prisoner say he would do for the Governor, it it was twenty years to come. The prisoner, wko was evidently labouring under consider able excitement, denied the charge of cuitirg a hole in the pail ition. As for the vinder," said he, 1 done that; and 1 am sorry I didn't have my revenge on hiin, and I will have it too. You persecutes me toe much, Air. Bucksey. You can get plenty witnesses to come and speak for you, hut you won't let one come forme; and your witness 'll get some beer too, no,.'t he, for false swearing ?" The prisoner's father said that he understood Mr. Buxey persecuted his son vtry much. He wanted him once to speak a talsil apainst some one els • in the house, aid because he would not do it he had been very much pet secutt d ever since. Mr. I Lau. cent need the prisoner to pay 4/. 10s. • r he im prisoned two calendar months; also to find surety, himself in 101, and two sureties in M. 'each, to keep the peace towards Mr. liuxe) for three months. As the prisoner was being removed he gently remarked to Mr. Box( y, by way of a comforter, " I'm neither hanged nor trattsput ; but when Ido comeback—that's all." lIIARLBOROUGI - I•STREVI% (ritiS DAY.) VAGRANCY IN HYDE-PARK. —dames Lewis, a lad about 16 years of age, clothed in rags and tat tet s, scarcely sufficient to emit r him with ordinary decency, was charged by William Creepin, Park con. tab:e, No. 5, with having been found sleep ing in a hollow tree in Hyde.pa.rk, at halt-past seven o'clock on Sund.ty morning. The prisoner had been convicted of a similar offence a short time ago, and his term of imprisonment only expired on Thursday last. Mr. MALTBY said the Magistrates would lend every assist ance in their power to aid the police-ct n•tables in clearing those places of public resort and recreation from the very offen sive, and indeed revolting, nuisance created by their being at irrese•nt the nightly haunt of idle and dissolute persons. He should therefore commit the prisoner for fourteen days, and ever afterwards it would be a month. THE LEVANT MAIL. —• By the regular mail fram the Levant tve have received a further ,upply of Malta papers to the loth inst. inclu,irely, with accounts from Ckmoantittopie of the 7th, Smyrna of the 9th, and Alexandria of the Gth. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) William Howell was charged with threatening the life of Thomas Hines, the proprietor of the Park Coffee-house, Wor cester-street. The defendant went into the house of the complainant armed with a gun on the preceding day, and on being observed with such a weapon, he was ordered out of the place. He, however, refused to go, and uttered a threat that he would " finish " the coa plainant for his conduct to him. It was further stated that the prisoner had on a former occasion used threats of violence towards the niece of the complainant, a young feniale who acted as his barmaid; and that it was in consequence of her refusal to admit him as a suitor. 1 he in'isoner said that he had no intention to shoot any per son.

ALEXANDRIA, JUNII 6.—The only commercial novelty dui h. , the last ten drys has been the sale by public auction, by the Government, of 10,01'0 crows cotton, on the 30th ult., at Pad. per crore, or about bid. per pound, bought by the agents who were e'redi, ors of the Government; while from the present want of water in the ettelq•and lowness' of the Nile, this cotton will not be deliverablefOr six, or eight weeks to come. Not withstanding the readiness' with which all parties here pur chased for cash the sessamum seed sold last month, deliverable in December next, no more , has been put up for sale, and the Treasury being thus kept without money, no measur e s c an b e adopted t o }m y t h e w h ole or any part of the heavy arrears due to the trote.s and all persons in the employ of the Government, and several acts of mutiny, theft, and insubordination have lately been the result of this abominable want of all system in the Goverrment Financial Department. The 'ridiculous tariff of Constantinople, for Custom-house duties, so very inapplicable to this cotintry, has at length given way to a more equitable mode of collecting these duties, more in accordance with the spirit of the treaty, which evidently intended that the import and export duties should be really ad valorem 5 per cent. and 12 per cent., and not nearly double these per-centages. Nothing of any further political interest has occurred since my last. Cases of plague still continue to be reported, a few daily ; but otherwise the mortality of this town is below its usual average. A letter from Alexandria, June 6, in the Malta Times, says :—" The Pacha, within the last ten days, gave orders that hi; employes might receive the 25 months' pay due to them either in grain, aquaritee, wine, or honey ; but on representa tion being made by the sycophants at Court, that in paying them in grain he was causing great loss to the merchants who lately brought such a large quantity of commestibili against Government assignments, he instantly gave orders that they might have as much aquavits' as they liked, at about 300 per cent. above the market price, but that he could not allow them to have grain, as in so doing he would be acting dishonourably to the merchants. The Pacha is said to be in a very bad hu mour, owing to the disorganised state of his finances. An Arab merchant was murdered a few days ago by some sailors of the Pacha. The murderers have not been discovered. 'I hey stripped him of everything he had upon his person. Colonel Barnett is beginning to put in order some of his pug nacious subjects, by informing them that unless they mend the it ways and manners he will be forced to order them out of the country. The Colonel dined with the Pacha on the 2d inst. The following correspondence has taken place between Col. Barnett, the English Consul-General and Boghos Bey :- 6' COLONEL BARNETT To BOGHOS BET. " Alexandria, 24th May. " Conformably to the wish expressed by the Pacha, the un dersigned has the honour to submit to his Excellency Boghos Bey the arrangement on which he had the honour of convers ing this morning. The undersigned proposes that the duties on imports and exports may be executed ad valorem, accord ing to the declared value of merchandise, and of the produce of Egypt. hat in case the officers of the Custom-house should have reason to suspect that the real value of an article, what ever it may be, exceeds the declared value by the merchants, they may have the powers of demanding that the duty be paid en nature.

" Alexandria, May 26. • " The undersigned has the honour to acknowledge the re ceipt of the note that Colonel Barnett, her Britannic Majesty's Consul-General, has addressed to him, under date of yester terday, on the subject of the arrangement to take place on the manner of le7ing the duties of imports and exports. His Highness the N iceroy has had laid before him a translation of the note you sent, and has just anthoriaM the undersigned to signify to Colonel Barnett, that the arrangement in question has met his full approbation, and that orders have been given to that effect to the Director of the Custom-house, to declare ti him, at the same time, that the undersigned in stating in his note of the 1 Ith instant, that the commerce of the next cot ton crop will be flee, so that everylody from that time is free to make purchases of it in every part of Egypt. (Signed) " BOG HOS JOUSSOFF." " But as it results on another consideration, from the decla ration made by the un d ers i gne d, the 266:instant, that the Viceroy has renounced, to date from the said day, to preserve the monopoly, exclusive of the sale and purchase of cotton, and that by the fart of these recent dispositions, the treaty of IS2B is now in full execution, and the Ditector of the Cus tom-house has been authorised to exact the supplementary duty of 2 per cent. on all the merchandise imported into Egypt, from the 26th May, the undersigned is pleased to be lieve that the measures, which have been just exposed, will completely satisfy the commerce, and will, without doubt, in their adoption, see the definite solution of the question of Cus tom-house duties. (Signed) . " BOGHOS JOSSOUFF." Circular addressed to the Consuls-General of Alexandria, by H. E. Boghos Joussouff Bey; dated 31st May:— " The undersigned has received the order to make the fol lowing communication to the Consuls-General :—Circum stances having prevented cotton from being comprised in the number of the products of the Egyptian sale, the monopoly of which had been abandoned by the Government, under date of the 23d of November, 1841, and the execution of the treaty re mainingfrom this account incomplete ; now some difficulties have been raised to the additional duty of two per cent. by the Egyptian Custom.house, the imports of which are affected by this treaty. In order to put an end to contestations of this nature, the Viceroy has ordered the director of the Custom hruse not to require the payment of the supplementary duty of two per cent., for merchandise imported from Nov. 23, 1841, to May 26, 1842." The following, dated May 31, has been addressed to the British merchants of Alexandria:— I am instructed by her Brttarinic Majesty's Consul- General to inform you that his Highness the Pacha has acceded to his proposition that the import and export duties be for the future levied upon valuation of merchandise, and in Fgyptian currency, without. reference to the tariff of 1839. I am directed also to inform you that the Pacha having now declared free the trale in cotton, the five per cent. duty upon the imports loco:nes payable from the 26th inst., but that three per cent. duty is to be paid for goods passed during the interval between the 33d November of last year and the 2bth day of this month. —I have the honour to be, &c.

The Malta .Times of the 15th says : " Our news from the Levant contains one important feature —that is, the determination of the five great Powers that Syria shall again be unchr the rule of a Christian Prince. At least such appears to be the cause of the unusal activit7 in the Divan. Of course the Sultan will or must give way. fhe re port of Selim Bev on the administration of Omer Pacha is anxiously expected. We observe that the Smyrna Journals always find wisdom and firmness in the conduct of the Divan. There is a report at Constantinople that the mission of Sami Bey has for its object to give a portion of the Egyptian fleet for pay merit of the at rear of tribute money." A letter from Constantinople of the 7th inst., in the Journal de Smyrne, says:— " The diplomatic conference which took place on the 27th ult. relative to Syria, terminated in the parties concerned agreeing to wait fur the report of Selim Bey, who is speedily expected back from the visit of inquiry he is at present making by order of the Porte into the present situation of Syria, and the conduct of Omer Paella, Governor of the Lebanon. It would appear that the charges brought against this functionary have not as yet been fully borne out, and that, on the contrary, they have given way under the evidence of a number of facts in his favour. If, therefore, his retut nis demanded, it is solely for the sake of upholding the pine ple of having the inha bitants governed by a Christi'an Prince, as has hitherto been the case." TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, 7TH OF JUNE.-011 the Ist the mom hors of the Ottoman Cabinet and the high dignitaries of the State met in Council, the Suhail being President, and re mained in deliberation for several hours. On the 2d an ex traordinary Council was held, and yesterday another took place. Baron de bourqueney addressed a note yesterday to the Porte, demanding satisfaction for an insult offered at lieyront to a French Lieutenant on board the Surprise brig, by two Alba- Man soldiers. This rote ocasioned some long communications with the Ambassador, and a meeting of the Council, The sultan's Government, seeing that the complaint was made nn just grounds, agreed to &rant the satisfaction demanded. In consequence, the French war schooner, the Alesange, is to set sail from the liosphortis to morrow, to deliver an order to the Aloustapha Paella to give up the two culprits, who are to be brought to Constantinople to receive a severe punishment. Yesterday, Chekib Effendi, formerly Ambassador of the Porte at London, was ordered to repair to Wallachia, to arrange cer, twin differences which have arisen between the Prince and the Primates of that principality." The following is also from the Journal de Smyrne The little island of Calymnos has just been the theatre of grave events, which call for the solicitude of the Sultan's Government. The inhabitants, having refused to pay an annual duty of 100 piastres for each boat and 18 for each man employed in the sponge fishery, an Ottoman brig of war was despatched, towards the end of the month, to en force payment. The Captain on his arrival had an inter view with the Primates, who promised to exert their influence to persuade the population to pay the tax, the moderate amount of which was not contested, The next day one cf the Primates, named Ismayl, was invited to dine on board, and whether from having drunk too much, or front some other cause, died suddenly on board. The inhabitants, when in formed of this event, accused the Captain of having poisoned their Primate, and, having risen tumultuously, attacked the boat which brought the body to the shore, broke it in pieces, and killed five of the crew, The brig immediately brought her broadside to bear on the town, and destroyed sory,e stores which were within her range. Some Europeans, who hap, pened to be at Calymnos, then interposed their ntediation, and obtained a cessation of all hostilities on both sides, until orders should be received from Constantinople.

The crops of coffee (1842) will, it is supposed, exceed last tear's produce by 1,100,000 bags. The season in the interior had, generally speaking, been favourable, and the harvest of Indian corn, beaus, and rice, was expected to be plentiful. Considerable excitement exited on the slave question. It was believed that the British Government bad proffered to ex • tend to Brazil the same measures she proposes to the Spanish Government to adopt in the Spanish %Vest India possessions. The daily cress teemed with tirades against what is termed the psendo-philanthropy of England. An address on the subject, tram the provincial legislature of Rio, also gave rise to a copious discharge of Brazilian bile. Some ferment also predominated respecting the anticipated dissolution of the new Chamber of Deputies, elected in 1841. The session was to be opened on May 3 ; and the general opi nion is, that sh or tly a ft erwar d s th e decree for the dissolution would be issued. Some modification is likely to take place in the Ministry. Vasconcellas, it is said, will come in for the in • tenor, Alves Branco, for finance, and Rodriguez Torres for the marine.

The Provincial Assemblies are to meet on the first Tuesday in July (the sth), in the capital town, to elect Deputies to the, second Chamber of the States-General, in the room of those who go out by rotation this year. The difficulties which occur in some provinces in obtaining precise accounts of the quantities of corn, and of the agricul tural produce, have convinced the Minister of the Interior of the necessity of requiring an annual return. The Magistrates of the Cornmones have, therefore, been requested to ascertain every year the number of acres employed in the cultivation of the several kinds of produce, so that it may be possible, be ginning with the year 1843, annually to obtain before the 15th of January, an accurate account of the produce of the harvest of the preceding year. Trip. HAGUE, JUNE 23.—His Majesty's frigate Palembang has brought news from Java to the 10th of March this year. The island enjoyed perfect tranquillity. Satisfactory accounts had been renewed at Batavia from Sumatra, not excepting the district of Mendheling, where troubles had been an nounced, but happily did not break out. The amount of the Government produce for 1842, was esti mated as follows :—Coffee, 988,210 piculs; Sugar, 829,485 do. ; Indigo, 2.850,000 pounds; Tea, 388,000 do.; Cinna mon, 139,000 do. ; Cochineal, 48,000 do.

DUBLIN, JUNE 25.--THE ENNIS AFFAIR.—Mr. Smyth, the stipendiary, and Captain De Revynes, the unpaid Magis trate, have been suspended from acting as Magistrates until the result of the approaching trial is made known. The following is a copy of the letter addressed to Mr. Smyth:— " Dublin Castle, 22d June, 1842. " Sir,—ln reference to the late unfortunate events at Ennis, I am directed to acquaint you that the Lord Lieutenant, with out at present expressing any opinion whatever Ls to those events, or as to the conduct of the Magistrates or constabulary, feels that none of those parties can with ropriety, or with ad vantage to the public, continue to exercise their public func tions until the decision of the legal tribunals, before which the cases must be tried, shall be known ; and his Excellency, therefore, directs that you abstain from acting as a Magistrate until you shall receive further instructions; but no change will be made during the interval in your salary or allowances. " I am, &e. " E. LUCAS. " L. Cruise Smyth, Esq., IL M., Ennis." A similar communication, omitting the reference to pay and allowance, has been addressed to Captain D. Revynes. DEPARTURE OF LORD DE GREP.—The Lord Lieutenant has deferred his departure till the middle of next month. The Orange party are still all but omnipotent in the Castle; and, as Lord De Grey has given in his adhesion to them, it will be no fault of theirs if he do not conticue a tool in their hands. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The Bank of England seems at last to have be come sensible of the complaints that have been urged against them for re-issuing light coin. Forty clerks, it is understood, are ordered to be in attendance on Monday morning, and throughout the week, from six to eight o'clock, for the pur pose of weighing the whole of the gold possessed by the esta blishment, and thus preventing the evil complained of. With respect to the scarcity of silver, and the unwillingness or in ability of the Bank to pay it, it is said that it will last but a few days ; the reason assigned for the course hitherto adopted being, that, within the first few days of what is called the " gold panic," there was a sail upon its coffers for no less an amount. than 100,0001. in silver. As a curious instance of the demand at present for this metal to meet the current purposes of business, it may be mentioned that a country banker paid to-day 2 per cent. premium for accommodation to the extent of 1001., while, among many dealers in London, the common premium is 1 per cent. Though the public have heard much of the inconvenience felt in London from the proclamation respecting the gold coin, the consequences to the provincial towns have, as yet, been little adverted to A letter received from Chelmsford is, therefore, of some interest, as showing the effect of the procla mation in that town. The banks, it is said, are crowded with applicants for a change of gold, and these find a difficulty in getting anything but paper money, or other sovereigns, which perhaps turn out also to be light. The manufacturers, agrieul• turists, and relieving officers of the poor being compelled to offer a premium for such quantities of silver as they require, this is compensated for by a deduction from the wages of the la bourer. Even for a sovereign of full value it is difficult to get change in silver. Altogether, it is stated, the present excite ment at Chelmsford is equal to that during the panic in 1826. It is asserted in the City, on the authority of parties con nected with the Mint, that the half.farthiug coinage will not be ready for two or three months. It is somewhat remarkable that Friday night's Gazette does not contain the usual return of the liabilites and assets of the Bank of England. From the recent change in their time of making up the averages, this return ought to have included Saturday last (the 18th), and consequently seven days have elapsed since the period of return without its publication, the former custom being to publish it in three days. SUN.—Although scarcely any business was transacted in the Eng.ish market during Saturday, prices became very fires immediately before the close of business. Jobbers are doubltess anticipating that in the course of the ensuing week extensive purchases must be made for the purpose of investing the dividends, on account as well of charitable and other trusts, as on account of private individuals. Consols lett off at 91%, buyers for the account ex-dividend. Three 'per Cents. Re duced, 914 91i ; Bank Stock, 1664 1674 ; Exchequer Bil!s, 40 42 prem.

The quotations for the Bonds were--Colombian, 23 234 ; Pe ruvian, 17 18 ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 37 374; the Three per Cents., 21i. 221; Spanish Five per Cents., 21/ 21a ; and the Three per Cents., 22i' 224. It will be ob!erved that the quotation of Colombian is about two per cent, below yesterday. This is to be attributed to a rumour that Government has not acceded to the terms pro posed by the Committee of South American bond-holders. They required a payment of two, while the Finance Minister of that country offers one per cent., and to commence the regular payment of the six per cent. after the expiration of four years from the present time. The principle of - conversion is in .itself bad, and it would be far better that some immediate payment should be made in full of the arrears—in Acta composition—than that the creditors should run the risk of having a large amount of fictitious Stock sent into the market, the proceeds of which, when sold, is to be appropriated to the payment of their claims. It is not intended to be insinuated that such will be the case in the present instance, but merely to state that it has been done, and that every opportunity is given for fraud by these frequent emissions of new Stock, over which no controul can be exercised, FOREIGN CORN.

That by the Act 7 George IV., c. 71, the King and Coun cil were empowered to admit, for home consumption, until the Ist slay of January, 1827, or for six weeks after the commence ment of the next ensuing session of Parliament any quantity of wheat or wheaten flour warehoused since the 2d day of May, 1826, not exceeding 500,000 quarters, on payment of such duty as should be declared in the Order in Council. As it thus appears from the records of this House, that from the year 1791 to 1827, Parliament has granted authority to the King . and Council to reduce, or altogether discontinue certain duties which were imposed on the importation of foreign corn, and other articles of food, it is therefore the opinion of this House, considering the uncertain operation of those laws which lately obtained the sanction of the Legislature, and consider ing also the present state of the country, that it would be highly expedient to vest in her present Most Gracious Majesty similar authority to that which was given to her predecessors ; and this House, befjre the close of this session, will cheerfully ac quiesce in granting such powers as may enable her Majesty. with the advice of her Privy Council, to reduce or discontinue, should circumstances so require, the duties which now regulate the importation of foreign corn, until the 13t day of January, I 543, or for six weeks after the commencement of the next ses sion of Parliament. 71'he General Steam Navigation Company's mail packet, Ocean, arrived off the Custom-house at 3 A. at., this day, w ith the Dutch mails.

TO TitlE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Srit,—.lu your paper of Monday evenlng- lag ) you were pleased to insert a letter from me oft the subject of the panic of the holders of gold coin and the extortion of the dealers in it. Then is one. slight error in the copy, of my communii. cation, in the fifteenth line, the ounce being. stated twelve dwts., instead of twenty dvrts. Since I wrote to-you I have come a journey of 120 miles, and am happy to find the strictly poor have been very little sufferers, from the obvious reason that few of them are much embarrassed with gold coin, even of the smallest denomina tion ; and employers of workmen have, for the most part, been considerate of the distress and loss which might be occasioned, and paid theta them is money of full currency, or stood to the loss themselves. Bankers of respectability laWc also acted very fairly on the occasion, disdaining' more than a remunerating price for their incon venience and trouble, which in many instances has not been more than a ld. or lAd. upon the average, in exchange for paper or good reigns. Persons travelling have been most abominably imposed upon when they hays paid away gold or exchanged paper for gold, one shilling even having been demanded us a deduc tion for half-sovereigns of 1817 and 1818, many of which are much worn. Scales in some in. stances have been so inaccurate from rust, &c., that it has required two grains to make them turn, and the gold pieces have appeared in them of standing weight, which were of full weight, and thus the fault of the balance has been the loss of the possessor of the money. In no in stance, I fear, has the defacing by cutting, breaking, or stamping the light coin been re sorted to, and therefore the fraudulent buyer may be expected, if any opportunity offer, to issue again the base coin. if you will permit me, I will state a few ob servations to those 1 before made upon the future gold coinage. The point of hardness and dura• bility will, as I before said, be best obtained by making the chief part, or tile whole of the all, e y of silver, instead of; as at present, whor,y o f copper; though I am aware that, with. silver as an alloy, a very minute portion of copper would be, as au auxiliary, useful ; and if to 22 caratsfine gold 2 carats of alloy, such as our present silver coin, were added, I think we should have per fection for metal as currency. The abrasion of our gold and silver coin froth attrition is a great evil, and it would almost ap pear that if we desired to diminish or attenuate it, we could not have proceeded in a more effec tual Manlier 'than We have hitherto d one . Bv the milling a n d pl ac i ng the letters of the legouil as close as possible to the edge, it is obvious that the pieces in collision with each oth©r almost net as a file would do, and ninny may have observed bow their asperities wear and rub the shovels used by the bankers at their counters. I noticed/ in my last that I considered the die of the copper penny-piece of 1707 best calculated to avoid attrition on rubbing together, and it is very re markable how perfect the letters are for the most part from being indented ou the border. The head on the obverse is now, after between forty and fifty years wear, very perfect, though scarcely so much so as the figure of Britannia on the reverse; and the legend on the border of the; latter (both letters and figures) is very distirlet and plain. If it be desired, a legend could also be imprinted or impressed upon the edge of the sovereigns in lieu of milling or graining. If any objection be raised to what I propose, beingumre. liable to be counterfeited, I would allege that: weighing alone will be sufficient test of that genuine from the spurious coin. It should km borne in mind that abrasion from 'fair wear ax,d -tear is sheer loss, and benefits no one. I bane made some observations upon our silver coin, which, if it meet your approbation, I w 1,l a t a future opportunity communicate to yoa,- -I an t , Sir, your obedient servant, June lit, 1842. NUM IS Nt.A.TIST. THE GAME OF SHIN TIE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU-V. " All plaided and plum'd in their -Tartan array.—Carspbellb. Sra—Your paper of the I7th instant, states tort the Society of True Highlanders celebrated 'heir annual festival by playing a grand match in. Corn hagen-fields, at th e na ti ona l game o f " ShinrAe, or or " Shintie," as it is called in the LQWlands. 'ls the Highlands it is called " Camach." It may b e compared to the game of foot-ball in En;;land, ex cept that in the latter the foot performs the office of the camach, or club. All the me-..nbers appeared in the Highland garb. This picturesque and primitive costume may be said to have become fashionable, ever since it was worn by one of our late monarchs it is, however, seldom worn in the Highland:s, except on grand gala days. It is curious to glr.oce back to the time when this dress and every'‘hinir connected with it was interdicted by Act of ?orna ment, under severe pains and penalties. I allude to the Disarming Act, consequent on the hat.'.:te of Cul loden. As the Act is but little known, •dven by many who now assume t h e garb, I will quote it a% a curiosity. An et (20 Geo. 2, c. 39) was passed, "for the IY,ore effectually disarming the Highlanders in Stccland, and for the more effectually se wring the pear of the Highlands, maid for restrak-aing the use of the High land dress," &c. With reference to the latter, it was enacted that 4 ` from and after the Ist attv of August, 1747, an 7 person, whether man or boy, within Scot -40, (excepting officers and stAdiers his Majestf - % service) who should, on any pretence whatsoever; wear or put on the clothes commonly called the land clothes, namely, the plaid, philibeg, trews, shorifd er belts, or any part of the Highland garb, or shouk - use for great coats or upper coats, tartans or party-eoloured plaid, or stuff, should be imprisoned, wit:nout bail, for six months, and, on being convicted, for a second offence, should be liable to be trir.iSported to any of his Majesty's plantations abroad' for seven years." The term for discontinuing fife dress was extended, by a subsequent Act, to the Ist of August, in the , following year. This, obnoxious Act, unworthy of u free Government, was repealed in 1782. The many Nth: devices they adopted to retain their ancient garb ttre calculated.. to excite a smile in those of the pre sent day, instead of the prohibited tartan kilt, some wore pieces of a blue, green, or red thin cloth, or camlet, wrapped round the waist, and hanging down to the knees like the fealdag.. The tight breeches were particularly ohnoxims. These, when on journeys, they often suspended over their shoulders upon sticks ; others, either more wary, or less submissive, sewed up the centre of the kilt with a few stitches between the thighs, which Bare something of the form of the trousers worn by Dzitcim skippers. At first these evasions of the Act were visited with great severity ; but at length the offices of the law seem to have acquiesced in the construe>. Lion put by the Highlanders upon the prohibition 1 - )f the Act. This appears from the trial of a man. cif the name of .M'Alpin, from Breadalbane, who vas ac quitted on his proving that the kilt had been stitched: up in the middle. Such were the anmr:ing ovasions of this extremely absurd Act.—Your obedient servant,, • C,`,. P. J. THE BALLOT: TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
