.Ploasmiss . AND, icy oa :and. the best employments of another people.—The King of the NETIIEIILANDS has, by a decree, ea larged the capital of the new Commercial Associa tion' from 24 Millions to 37 millions, in con sequence of the great excess of the subscriptions over, the amount originally specified as the re cluirtd funds orthe Company. - in the hurry of quoting from the Mode, re ceived yesterday at a late hour by Express, a 2;0 paragraph, subjoined to that respecting the in tended meeting of the Emperors at Prague, eicaped our notice. The extract should have 6V ran thus:— ) a ge. vot 83 • 95i 5 in 5 52 2-4 4 Mi 4 `!'_gorne journals have spoken of an int'ervi::w of the Em- Piror of Austria, the Emperor of Rusriv, , , and the King of Pruftia at Prague, at which the affairs of the East will be con titertd in a spirit opposed to that of some other Cabinets. "We have learnt nothing from our own correspondence that would induce us to imagine that such a meeting is even contem- Plated ; and, far from being diVided upon th 2 affairs of the Last, the whole of the - Cheat Powers are at this moment per fordl agreed respeOting than, sad that in a spirit of peace and conciliation." Now, thiitvzh we regret that we yesterday ac oidentally omitted the- declaration of the Etoile at to the concord and. Pacific spirit of all the Great Powers, and as to the improbability of an interriew taking place at Prague, yet we do not attach the slightest credit to its allegations. If the correspondenc e of the Etoile has riot fur bished it with any, intelligence respecting the in tetided Meeting, the information on the subject given to other Journals seems to . have been suffi ciently explicit and precise, as one of our ex tracts from the Brussels Papers, in a preceding cointnu, sufficiently proves. It is impossible that aby one, after the juggle of the Cordon Sanitaire, end after the iniquity of the invasion of Spain, eau be deceived by French professions. We yen t!tre to "assert on our part, that, so far from the. understanding amongst the Powers being so full and so harmonious as the Etoile re- Presents, the mission of General Count Guit.r.E. . 27, IfiNOT• tO Constantinople, accompanied by three -444s -de-Camp, is the result of the secret nego- Which have for some time past been carried " between the French and Turkish Govern - 'lzents ; and that we are much mistaken indeed, the approaching royal meeting at Prague will not elicit such a spirit and character, and • result in so complete a development of the Maus of the Holy Alliance with respect to Greece 4ttcl Turkey, as will give the monied speculators in this country abundant cause to lament their own credulity and folly in placing any reliance ost the friendly dispositions which the Conti nental Governments profess to entertain towards This country. CITY, Twelve o'Closk.—Consols opened at 1161-1, at which price they remain steady, without itny fluctuation, and with scarcely any thing doing. • For Money, they are 9611. I do not hear of any Express having arrived from Paris this morning. By private accounts received yester day from that Capital, it is expected that the dis enseion on the proposed reduction of the Rentes, W ilt continue to Thursday. MAIIKET.—The little business doing gas morning, is chiefly in Mexican Scrip. The removal of the LOGGAN•STONE in Corn wall has naturally excited the indignation of every person who knew of its existence, and of all who hear of this violation of one of the won derful productions of Nature. We heartily thank our intelligent Correspondent, A. P., to - whom we are indebted for many valuable com munications, for the letter on the subject, which we have inserted with pleasure this day. The men who accomplished this act of wanton bar. la!rism must have been actuated by the sam e spirit which induced ERATOSTRATUS to de stroy the Temple' o f Eph e sus, merely t o have his name remembered, and he, like his mis itievous exemplar, will have his name branded with eternal infamy. But in point of mere hu loanity this act must expose him to contempt, for It' poor family derived their subsistence from 101 *.wIng the wonder thus destroyed to travellers. It is not, however, to he doubled that the people Cornwall, oho have been deprived of this cu. ri uus ornament of their county, will liberally '' .ll tribute to the support of the sufferers. 9' OS Of letter from Smyrna, dated March 5, an "aunces fresh atrocities on the part of the Turks. " The villa of Follieri," it says, " has just been the theatre of a sanguinary catastrophe. Eighty foor Greeks have been masacred at that place.-- A Turk, returning from his Cheflit, fell from his ) horse, and was wounded by his dagger, which came out of its sheath. lie was carried to For.- LIPAI'S house, where the people followed him, asking by whom lie had been wounded ? He answered, that it was by himself, in consequence of a fall from his horse. ' No,' cried the multi the Greeks did it.' In vain did he assure then, to the contrary ; the people, excited by ill- Aisposed persons, attacked all the Greeks whom they- met in the streets on the 17th and 18th of Vebruary, and massacred 84. Tranquillity was Partially restored on the 19th." Saturday night, Mr. Avis, the King's Messen ger, left town with dispatches for Sir WILLIAM -A.'CotlitT, our Ambassador at Madrid. The same night an Austrian courier left town with 444 :patches for Vienna. • - (O,V- '.. 9 4.41i.

Yesterday several official personages particularly examined the splendid improvements in St. James's Palace ; and the new entrances, &c. attracted the notice of considerable num bers, who had not the means of gaining any view of the.bril liant interior. As the Drawing-room of Thursday excites so much expectation, and as there is so much curiosity in the fa shionable world on the subject, it hardly requires to be added, that there is an unpreccdcnted bustle amongst the Court dress makers, &c. THE KING, WiNnson„4,PRIL greater part of yester day . the KING was a little indisposed, but we rejoice to state that his Majesty is now quite recovered. The weatherbeing unfavourable it is not expected that he will leave the Castle this day.Hlt is expected that his Majesty will leave the Castle to morrow for London, - attended by an escort of the Royal Horse Guards.—Sir H. Halford arrived last evening at the Palace and left again this morning, with Sir W. Knighton, for London. Mr. White, one of the King's private Messengers, left the Palace this day with dispatches for London. FASHIONAI3I4 7 ,3 ARRIVALS.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, APRIL 24.—Yesterilay bring Day,St.Georg s e' o s vereo, i the tutelar Saint of England, and the day appointed to celeb ra t e th e re t ur n of the natal day of our meat Gracious the same was observed in this ancient and loyal town with every possible mark of respect. Just about en haortiir(ait„ide., ten.minutes.after " bright Phoebus" bad mounted his c at six in the morning), the merry bells of our five churches potired forth their merry tones most sonorously and most joyously, in honour of the day. The national - standard Was hoi txl on the turret of our, venerable castle, and the nu merous shipping .in the harbour displayed most liberally their gay-streamin g tiags- i n commemoration - of the - festival. __At one o'clock the. Newcastle : dismounted Troop of Cavalry,' commanded by Captain Bulman, marched down to the Sand hill, in front of the Guildhall, where were assembled the Ch:ef Magistrate,- the Aldermen, Sheriff, and a great number of respectable individuals belonging to the town. ,The Magi. strafes were habited in their official gowns, and the regalia of the Corporation was borne by the serjeants and proper officers in their purple robes. As it struck one, Captain Bulmar's troop commenced firing a J - Ce-de-joie, which. they completed in most excellmt style. The Mayor then drank a bumper of wine to the health of 1 ° King George the 4th an 3 12ng may he reign !" which loyal example was followed by the rest of the Magistrates mid the Gentlemen present. A glass of wine was then handed to each of the military ; after drinking which they gave three times three cheers in honour of the KING, in which they were most heartily joined by the Magistracy and all present—the music. at the same time playing the National Anthem. Before this ceremony was quite con cluded, a royal salute commenced from the great guns on the Castle ;—the thunder of which, astounding the ear, formed a grand - relief to the fire of the mus cuetry. In the evening the Mayor (WlLx.tast WarGnT, Esq.) gave an elegant dinner at the Mansion-house., teethe officers of the garrison and,a select party of friends. In like manner Lieutenant-Colonel- Sir THOMAS BUIIDON, of the Tyne Hussars, gave a handsome entertainment to the officers of his regiment and several private friends, at the Turk's Head Inn, in honour of the day. In the circle of the worthy Colonel the qui vive was kept up with admirable spirit and effect until a late hour. As a finish to this auspicious day, there was a ball at the Assembly Rooms; but it being the benefit night of a favourite actress at the theatre (Mrs. R. W. Hall), the rooms were less crowded than usual. Between the play and the farce the National Anthem was called for, and sung with excellent effect by the whole strength of the theatre, the audience stand. ing up, uncovered, and loudly clapping hands at the end of each verse. We, too, exclaim with the poet— " Let this auspicious Day be ever sacred ! " No mourning, no misfortunes happen on it; " Let it be marked for Triumphs and Rejoicings !" THE ROYAL FAMlLY.—Sunday the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE and Prince Leopold dined with the Duchess of KENT, at the King's Palace, Kensington,---On Sunday the Duchess of Glou cester, the Princess Angusta, and the Duke of Clarence, visited the Duke of Sussex, at the King's Palace, Kensington, where the Royal Duke is confined by indisposition, in consequence of an injury his Royal Highness received when getting into his carriage. --Yesterday the Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess 'Sophia visited the Princess Augusta.—The Princess Augusta and a select party dined with the Duke and Duchess of Clarence.--Yesterday morning Prince Leopold, attended by Baron Stockmar, left town for Claremont. The CHANCELLOR of the Facurourn arrived in town yesterday,from his visit to Earl SPENCER. In a Letter just received from Madrid, dated this month, is the following paragraph :—" I think it will be necessary to keep a strong French force in this country for some time to come, as there is still a sirong party for the late system, if it dared to spew itself. Col. DowNiC, wounded when fighting with RI EGO, t is sup= posed has got every thing settled, and is in the wav of preferment." Papers and letters from Demerara to the 17th ult. were revived yesterday. Their contents are of the most gloomy description : the inhabitants had been greatly aldrmed by nightly meetings of the negroes of the East Coast, where the late insurrection had broken out. There had been meetings of the principal inhabitants, who had come to a resolution to expel all Missionaries from the Colonies. I'OETIZ Y.

YEOMANRY OF 'rim UNITED RINGO() 31.-012 Saturday, the Bth Anniversary Dinner took place at Willis's Rooms, Sir Tiromes TurtToN in the Chair ; a numerous meeting of Noblemen, Members of Parliament and Gentlemen command ing Corps of Yeomanry were present; Lords Grantham, Clon_ mel, Eastnor, sir J. Honeywood, Edward Wilton, Frederick Fawkes, Colonels Macquee n , Hamn e r, &c. This loyal meet ing went off with the greatest possible harmony and eclat.; , and songs were sung, among whi c h v iv a a r s io o u n s e to w as ri t t a te w n e b re y d 3 rl f in k r.

Th e pectable regiment attended in full uni tented by all the different Officers up o n fh po oarin in nd t , o andfand thatwereold humourcom and complimented their soldierlike appearanc e and excellent performance. l‘dh(l Car Tp n owts MoE, who suc• ceeden't sc ir y as Lord High Chancellor of Eng land, was so clear in the perfor ma nc e of th e duties " of his great office," that when ins sons complained how little they could gain under his administration of the law, he replied, l d e; n t r a t; 1 1 . S " I will do justice to a.ll, and thereby leave you a bless ing." He was so scrupulously conscientious, that rio sub perna was granted but what he saw, and no order but what he perused. Nor could the King or Queen corrupt him, or the whole Church in . convocation, fasten any charge upon hint that might stain his integrity. He uttered eight apothegms, viz.—lst. The . World , is undone by looking on things at a distance. 2d. -To aim at honour on earth, is to set a coat of arms over a prison gate. 3d. Ile that is covetous when he is old, is like a thief that steals when he is going to the gallows. 4th. The greatest punishment in this world, were to have our own desires. 6th. Nire go to hell with more pains than we might- go to heaven with. 6th. The more we have of any thing but riches, the better we are. 7th. Who would not serulliis alms to heaven ? who would not send his estate whither he is to be banished himself? Bth. When any one was calumnious in his pre sence, lie would say, let any man think as he pleaseth, I like this room well. Ile wished to behold three things esta blished in Chritendorn—lst. A universal peace ; 2dly. A uniform system of religion; and, 3dly. A reformation; rather of lives than religion. This great, learned, and virtuous man was beheaded in 1685, during the reign of Henry VIII., for refusing to take the oath of supremacy and succession ; which hise enemies connected with some other charges against the ambition of his cruel master, which were construed as high treason.

A sporting sweepstakes match took place yesterday morning between Captain Swaine •and Messrs. Arbuthnot and Cleaver, for twenty-five sovereigns a-side. The ground was from Thorpe, near Chertsey, to Maidenhead Thicket, a distance of about 12 miles. The horsemen kept the road until they crossed the Bap;- shot road, when they made the straightest direction across the country,- leaving the King's dog-kennel on the left, and they parted on this part of the Forest. Mr. Arbuthnot again got into the road to the westward of Winkfield Plain, and passed the church. The three were in sight on taking across the en closures again over a difficult country. After many hazardous leaps, Mr. Arbuthnot, on his mare Fury, reached the Bath road, on Maidenhead Thicket, first; Captain Swaine was se cond, in about three minutes after the winner ; and Mr. Cleaver pulled up two miles from home. The winner performed the distance in 46 minutes. MATCH to go on FOOT 45 MILES in NINE HOUR - ;. H. Hamilton, the Leicestershire Pedestrian, started yester day morning at four o'clock, to perform the above task, and to walk the first two miles. The ground chosen was two miles of turf and road over part of Banstead Downs on the Brighton road, for one hundred sovereigns, and the man was backed to win at sto 4 odds. He occupied thirteen minutes in perform ing the first two miles at a walk, and he was cicven mi. nutes only going over the second two miles. The pedestrian continued on at the rate of about six miles an hour, and after having completed thirty-six miles he halted, and left himself two hours to do the last nine miles in. He won with much ease, and had five minutes to spare. 14IERCA NTI E S P.l"-I Artar. 26.--Wind S.S.E.—Passed through the viztia, Sims ; Eliza; Grandia; Ariadne, Fitt; and Alexander.

Ytstercla P Mr. SADIE n. ascended in his balloon from the yard of the old Wool len Cloth Hall in Salford. For some time Mr. Sadler has been engaged in making; preparations for hi s ascent . Hi s fi rst intention was to inflate his balloon with carburetted hydrogen from the Salford coal-gas works, hut a proposal haring been made by Robert Howarth Peel, list;. of the 3d . Light Ma-- goons ' now in the barracks here, and ceu s in w e b e li eve to Mr. Secretary Peel, to ascend with him. varion., experiment 4 were made; with the view of ascertaining whether •• the bats loon, when inflated with carburetted hydrogen; would be tulliciernely buoyant to carry two persons. In the first in stance it was found that the coal gals, both from the Menthes , • ter and Salford gas works, was much too ponderous for the pnrpole. Some changes were, however, made in the mode of preparing it, particularly by substitutingg• common coal for the Wigan cannel. - It was then found to be of considerably Jess specific gravity, • but it was still considered too heavy. Mr. Sadler therefore determined to inflate the balloon partly with goal gas, and partly with hydrogen gas ; and he rreceeded to construct, in the Cloth Hall y trd, art spparatuso for procurieg the latter, consisting of two wooden vats, end) six feet long. four feet broad, and six feet deep, for holding, the iron and.tli luted sulphuric acid, and a third rat, of the same dimensions, to be filled with lime and water, to nitrify the hydrogen from the sulphurevus acid gas which comes over with it, and which, if suffered to pass into the baLoon, would be injurious to the texture of the silk of which it is composed. About half-past four o'clOck, the balloon being then nearly filled, 31r. Sadler began to prepare for attechipg the car to it. He then got into the car, accompanied by 31r. Peel; anti tre, flags, a grappling-iron and rope, and a quantity of ballaet, pac ing been deposited therein, allonn was partially released fee the purpose of trying whether it would accen t : ; hitt it was'found to be too heavily loaded. A quantity of ballast was then thrown cut, and another experiment made ; hut still the „balloon would not ascend. A third and a f our th experiment Were equally unsuccessful, and Mr, Sadler found, to his great triorti fication, and no less to the disappointment of his intended con . panion, that balloon was not suffici e n t ly b uo y an t to carry them both. Mr. Peel was therefore romnelled .o relinquish his . scat. A Gentleman who accompa&ed Mr. Sadler from Liv pool, being rather lighter than Mr. Peel, took the seat wh eh he h.td 'vacated, and anoth r ineffectual attempt was made wee .C. The balloon v a not sufficiently buoyant to carry t-7o persons ; the Gentleman therefore got out, leaving 31r. Sadler alone. The balloon was the, released, at 7i minutes past five o'clock, and bounded at once into the air in t-ie fines;: wyle &able, clearing all the buildings without (lactate, and ascend. Mg with great swiftness.. As the wind wax fats, its progrei , s through the air was extremely rapid, and in something less than. two minutes and a half after it left the earth it passed into a cloud and disappeared. The wind, at the tithe, wasntbout point to the 'Lastward of North. A few minutes before In ascent the weather, which till then had keen fair, thortelt gloomy, changed for the worse, and the aeronaut set out on pia Journey in a heavy shower of rain, which continued to taltree Isome time. '!'he balloon, when it went up, was cstiniatul to contfi:n about 22,000 cubit feet of gas, of whici about 16,000 feet wer: coal g THE Sadler arrived at the Star inn, in this 1 town, last night, a little before eleven o'clock. It appears, that as soon after the-ascent of the . l.yllOon as he could make an oh ' set yation with 'regard to his course, he found that he was goirag in the direction of Liverpool. After he had proceeded, as thought, about half way to Liverpool, the balloon still rnnidly ascending, he entered another current of air which carried' hint with great velocity to the south-east. He was then, as he judged from the distended state o 1 the balloon, about two mires high ; but his barometer having been handed out of the ear when was lightened with the view of enabling it to carry, Hr. Peel, and not having been returnee, he was unabl: to date mire 114 elmtion with accuracy. From the time of ..first enter,ag tie,. clouds, he was constantly enveloped by them, and was eximsed to a continued .shower of snow, which completely drenched him. Under these circumstances be thought it expedient to 0...-scenti quickly as possible; he therefore opened the valve atti deremel el. with great rapidity. When he came near the earth, whiC , 4 *.1.4 in the neighbourhood of ,'honk's Heath, near Klutsfora, tttrew out his grappling iron, which caught on the atthop of a tree, and, he Succeeded in getting out of the balloon and tecur ing it; but m doing so he received a blow either froth the grap pling iron or.the tree, which he afterwards disto ver ed.he.d. -in flicted a severe wound on the back of his head. He watexacL)v thirty minutes in the air.' It h a pp ene ; most oppottimely at the time of his descent a chaise was passing »long the39A a: no great distance, and some persons who observed the balloon., directed it to the spot where it was likely to descend, and Ms. Sadler found the chaise ready as soon as he IlLd St Med balloon.- After his return to Manchester, the wound on hi.-4 head was examined by a surgeon ; and we are happy to spa;, that no serious consequences arc likely to result ;row • SPANISH GA LLANTIt'i.—PERTS, thee .
