The qualification for the latter in Paris, on the present occasion, amounts to 1,297 francs.- 1 The college is divided into five sections, which re- turn four mernbers,and the total number of elec tors on the list is only 2 7 059 ; or about 500 voters for one representative. The ministerial candi dates are Messrs. OLLIVIEIt, BRETON, BUTEn, and :13 oNstrr ; their constitutional antagonists are Messrs. MANUEL, LAFITTE, TEIINAUX, and DE LESSERT. The first day's operations are always limited to the confirmation of the bureau appoint ed by the Crown, or the nomination of a new ; and according as the electors evince their opinions and their strength, by confirm ing or over-throwing this appointment, their Ministerial or opposition bias is shown. Judg ing, by this test, we can anticipate the return of °lily one constitutional candidate out of the four 'which compose the deputation of the great col lege of Paris, as only one of the bureaux has been changed. These Papers contain no other i ntelligence of the slightest interest, if we except the following paragraphs from the Etoile " The wife of General Alma arrived at Havre four days ago, ° boa r d a vessel from Lisbon : she is accompanied by her father. They will proceed directly to London by the packet boat, without going to Calais, as they at first intended. " The first numbers of the Greek Gazette, minted at Alias°. lon ithi, have been received at Corfu : they are read with ex. tretne avidity. It is announced that a French journal will shortly be printed in the same town.—Europe will at length obtain information of what is passing, from other organs than those of the Turks. . 4 .

His new fie ' The Triumph of Hellas, has been translated into Greek.., GREEK LoAx.—We have for some time silen tly viewed the progress of this interest ing contract with England, and we feel ex ceedingly gratified to find that it has singly s tood the late general shock in the Stock Markets ; indeed the attempt to foist a de lusive loan upon the generosity of the British Capitalists has been successfully exposed and is now entirely withdrawn. And we are as sured, from the general feeling in favour of Greek Independence, and the positive knowledge that all the great European Powers are agreed upon this important measure, that a gradual, but constant rise, will attend the Greek Loan. The fall in our Funds yk•sterday and this morn iog, we are positively assured from authority on which we can place the most undoubted reliance, was occasioned by a party who made a simultaneous movement in Paris, in order to get into Stock in both Markets upon their own terms. The plan succeeded most completely : the nerveless gave wav, and, like a flock of sheep, scampered one after the other. The report of a Congress is totally without foundation ; for we are po sitively assured that the very best under- Standing prevails not only between this country and France, but every European Go vernment, as regards the South American Ques tion. There is but one obstacle to general har mony in Europe as well as South America, viz. the personal ignorance and perverse obstinacy of Fra.,,, AND VII. Twelv e CITY, o'clock.—Consols opened at 922 Account, but rose to 93k, at which they are up to this hour. In the earlier part of the morn ing there were a great many Sellers, and a great deal of business doing ; but within this half hour there have been good purchases made. The Ex. presses from Paris bring Private Letters with the Renter after 'Change hours, which were 100 f. 75c. ex-dividend. The fall is attributed to the do cuments which Mr. CANNING laid before the Rouse conceruing South America. The above Private Letters, from the best authority, state, that accounts are received at Paris of the Em peror of RvsstA being seriously indisposed. PORtIGN MAllHET.—Fluctuatious to a great 'extent have taken place in the above Market this morning, particularly in Russian and Austrian Sc riP• Austrian Scrip was done as low as 924, and, afterwards rose again to 1148. A great deal or business has been done in the above Market. Mr. HusEissoN, as we noticed yesterday, has deferred,, for upwards of two years, the com mencement of the threatened experiment upon the Silk Trade, if indeed the postponement is not to he considered as a total abandonment of the project. From what fell from Lord Ltvcit t.oot last night in the House of Lords, it is evi ditnt that the threatened repeal of the bounties on Coarse Linens will also be either abandoned, Or Considerably modified,—the Noble Earl, in "ikuowledging that he had been mistaken as to the state of the Irish Linen Trade, having at the 34 rne tim e a d m i tted that it is necessary to proceed with caution in introducing alterations into esta-1 bushed systems. This is very gratifying ; and in connection with what has taken place in the House of Commons, proves that Ministers are seriously re-considering their intended measures. They seem disposed to consent to their general post ponement ; and we are quite sure that if they will only institute a careful inquiry into the sup posed soundness of that general principle, the adoption of which has nearly precipitated them into a course of domestic policy destructive of the best interests of the nation, they will not only be come convinced of its utter fallacy, but will even tually adopt, on diametrically opposite principles, a totally different set of measures from those which they have just been endeavouring to press upon the country.--In the mean time, the threatened re peal of the legislative protection and encourage ment afforded to the Silk and Linen Manufac tures, being apparently deferred, there remain only the cases of the Fisheries,of the Coal Trade, and of the Woollen Manufacture. With re spect to the Fisheries, we must presume, from no opposition having been offered to the repeal of the bounties, on the part of those who are in terested, either that the Fisheries do not require the aid of bounties, or that the existing bounties are so insignificant, as not to be worth contending for. The Coal question, as our Readers are aware, is occupying the attention of the North umberland and Durham Coal Owners; and if they can establish that the destruction of their monopoly of the London Market will injure the invaluable nursery of seamen which is provided by the present mode of supplying the Metropolis with coals, we sincerely hope that they will be successful in their oppo sition to the projected innovation. As for the Wool Question, we conceive it to be utterly impossible for Ministers now to press that part of their new system, after having felt it necessary to withdraw from their attack upon the Silk and Linen Trades. If they have been impressed with doubts on the question, as affecting Silk and Linen, there is absolute and undoubted certainty as to the folly and impolicy of permitting the ex portation of British Wool. If that measure be per sisted in, we shall not be surprised at any extent to which theoretical absurdity-may hereafter be carried. In our next war-with France, for example, a Member of the Legislature might propose that the French Government should be suffered to recruit its navy in our ports, with the best seamen and naval officers of England, if our officers and seamen should think fit to accept of the offers made to them ! The modern theory, and the new-fashioned general principle, would not only uire sa f i r ic o t m io np a s r u l c a t in s e a nt, p o ro n p t o h s e itio g n r , ou b n u d t o ‘ f roulcl r:q con sistency, its cocurrence ! If every man h as a ng • h t to employ his capital and his industry as he himself thinks proper, and if it is not only unjust, but superlatively unwise, ever to interfere with his exercise of that right, surely every man has also a right to sell his courage and his allegiance in the best market. There is no greater folly in permitting foreigners to employ our own seamen to blow up our own ships, than in permit ting them to destroy our own industrious classes by, inundating our own markets with their pro ducts, or by voluntarily putting them in posses sion of any description of advantages which we now exclusively possess. Each species of folly is equally indefensible on every principle of sound legislation and common sense; and each is as much the legitimate offspring as the other, of that infatuating general principle which has been set up as a modern idol within the walls of Parliament. We are very much surprised to see that such a man as Lord . LIVERPOOL, in speaking of the Linen Bounties, has not only deprecated the system of fostering an artificial trade, but has gravely stated, that *friatfaV.Or done should take place by natiirarmeans !" This is really a puerility un worthy of his Lordship's enlightened mind, and of a British Statesman of the nineteenth cen tury. It is as natural for the human mind to employ what are called artificial means for effect ing its purposes, as it is natural for man to perform the simplest functions of his physical organization. It is natural for mankind to advance in science, and in the knowledge of.combinations, the skilful application of which to their concerns, and to the purposes of government, though termed arti ficial, in mere distinction from the less com plicated and less skilful operations of preceding periods of comparative ignorance, is not less natural than the first rude attempts at the or ganization of society. It is, therefore, as na tural to foster industry, by protecting regula tions and encouraging bounties, as it is to protect property by law, or to diffuse education, morals, and religion, by means of salaried teachers and an endowed priesthood. The supposed opposition of artificial systems to nature is the mere cant of shallow theorists, and particularly or that spuri ous school in Political Economy from whom this, amongst many other visionary speculations, has proceeded. The following is the extract from tile. adver tisement-of the Coarse Linen Manufacturers of Cork, to which we alluded yesterday At a numerous and respectable meeting of the Manufacturers and Finishers of Coarse Linens, adapted to Foreign Export, held at the Council Chamber of Cork, on the 4th day of March, 1824, JULIUS BESNARD, Esq. in the Chair, Resolved—That viewing with greatalarm the incalculable injury which the Coarse Linen Manufacture of this County mustsustain, by the contemplated reduction of bounty on all Linens under 7d. per yard, We do immediately address our City and County Representatives--calling upon them to unite in their Remon strances against a measure, so destructive in its consequences, to the Linen Trade of this populous City and County. Resolved—That the present rate of Bounties on Coarse Linens, has greatly tended to promote their Manufacture in this County, and has given within the last three years to this City a Direct Foreign from Great Britain. Trade, as well as an increased demand Resolved—That diminishing in any degree the encourage_ meat which is now given on the export of Linens, must de prive us altogether of trade with Foreign Countries, and give to alone now commands f or us. the Continent the supplyi ng of those markets which the Bounty Resolved—That this county, unequal to a competition with the North in the finer fabrics, has directed its attention to the manufacture of course linens, such as now come within the de scription, subject to a total reduction of bounty. Resolved—That should Parliament, in its wisdom, determine on any change in the present system of bounties, we hope to be placed on at least equal a dv a nt a ges with the counties more advancased in manufacture, whi c h are o nly p ar ti a lly injured by a measure that must tend to totally extinguish our infant trade. Resolved—That on a subject so deeply interesting to the welfare of Ireland, we look with confidence for the co-operation of all Irish Members of Parliament, and others interested in the support of a domestic manufacture ; which, while it diffuses employment through t h e l an d, contr ib utes to the introduction of moral habits and content amongst the people.

COURT Or CHANCERY.—The- LORD CHAN- C: y r .r., o 1 t, taking • his seat on the Bench,.yester- I morning,went through the ceremony of (in stituting Mr. FERRA R as a Master of the Court. Letters from Holland speak of a treaty of commerce as being likely to be entered into between France and Russia. It is also added, that the sanction of the King of the Netherlands was recently given to a Decree which autho rizes the opening of a Loan for l i million -of florins to be ap- propriatedl to the formation of a navigable:canal from Vienna through Zederic, by. Linge and MerweOe' to Gorcum. The shares are to be 500 florins each, at 41 per cent. There can be no doubt that the pacific state of Europe is highly conducive to the profits of industry. The French make an annual Exposi of the proceedings of the Na tional Bank at Paris. Five years ago the amount paid for dis- Icounts was above five millions of francs ; since then the amount has been gradually lessening, and last year the aggragate of discounts was only about-2 trillions of frahcs. Sleep chalking and miraculous Escape. —On Tuesday night week, as Mr. Lockman and his family, of Crowley's-court, Deritend, were sit ting by the fire, about nine o'clock, he thought he heard something rush against the window shutter. Supposing it to be a man in liquor, he opened the door to ascertain the fact, and. look ing up the court, saw at a distance, something move along in white. lie immedia'tely went up to it, and, to his great surprise, found it to be his own son, a boy about nine years old, who had got out of bed in his sleep, lifted up the sash of the chamber window, fourteen feet from the ground, and descended into the court without the least apparent injury. The account the boy gives is, that he dreamed that a person, who lived next door, for whom he had been in the 1 habit of going errands, wanted him to fetch a pint of ale, and lie was going over to the Leather Bottle for it. The boy was asleep when he was brought by his father into the house.—( Liver pool Courier.) THE KING. WINDSOR, MARCH 9.—His MAJESTY has delayed his departure till to-morrow, when he will go to Carlton House to hold a Levee. His Majesty's absence from us will not be so long as was expected. He proposes returning on the same day (Wednesday) to the Castle to meet a select dinner party. This afternoon, at half-past two o'clock, his Majesty, attended by the Marquis of Conyngham, drove out in his pony phaeton, to his Lodge in the Great Park. We are happy to say that his Majesty is in excellent health. Owing to the unfavourable state of the weather, his Majesty did not ride out yesterday. Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta returned yesterday afternoon from her visit to the Duke of Clarence, to her scat at F rogmore. • - . ..,.., ° I'l,‘ . ;,.‘ • . - ) 4 ,„,,,,.. 4 1 0 ,, ~" ..., , ~,,„ ;,,,. !: ... i .? , ~..., .•',. .., .

Last night an elegant Ball and Supper were given in the Assr2mbly Rooms, George-street, to the Ladies by a number of Gentlemen Bachelors. At nine o'clock the company began to arrive, and soon after ten dancing commenced. The first dance was led off' by Lord Leven and Miss Campbell of Sue , cotb, to the tunes of " The Cameronian's Rant," " Clydeside Lasses," and " I'll gang nae mair to yon toun.', At one the company retired to supper, which was laid in the card-room and two side rooms, and consisted of a profusion of delicacies of every kind, displayed with a taste that does the highest credit to Mrs. Montgomery. The tables were richly ornamented with confectionaries, and also with groups of figures in alabaster, &c. The wines and fruits were of the choicest kinds, and in great variety. Supper being ended, the dance was resumed, and kept up with great spirit till past six in the morning, when the delighted company departed, nappy to meet, sorry to part, and anxious to meet again. Probably on no similar occasion was more exertion ever made to render a treat every way worthy of acceptance. No expence had been spared in fit ting up these elegant rooms, which employed workmen of various descriptions for some days. The staircases were filled with evergreens, and the steps laid with cloth.— The lobby represented a large tent and draperies, formed of blue and white silk, with the arms of England, Scotland, Ireland, and the City of Edinburgh, emblazoned over each entrance, and had a very elegant appearance._ The ball-room was also elegantly fitted up. The thron e was nearly concealed in shrubbery, and on each side of it card_ tables were placed. At the other end of the room a table was laid out for tea and coffee, which occupied the breadth of the room ; this was also tastefully arranged, and ornamented with rare plants. We have not time time to enter on a minute de scription of the festive scene, but certainly the brilliancy of the company, combined with the ornamental arrangements, formed one of the most striking coups-clic:ell of the kind ever beheld. And of the banquet the same observation may with propriety be made. Due care had been used to ensure regu. larity and comfort, under the direction of the Gentlemen who gave a Ball and Supper, who were particularly distinguised by a white rose on the left breast, and whose attentions were un remitting throughout ; and long will it be ere the Bachelcr's Ball will be forgotten by the fair objects for whom this splen did entertainment was provided. The number present amount ed to between five and six hundred, including a great propor tion of the ran k, f as hi on , an d beauty now in Edi n b urg h , a l n , a i d o e g s who l m i a w a e n o d b Jane sery i 1a y edl —T , e Er Marquisl Moray, Earl of Leven, of Tweedd a l e an d t h e Earl of Elin, Earl of Fife, Lord and Lady Rollo and Miss Roy, Lord Castlereagh, Lords Charles and Edward Russell, Lord Elcho, Lord and Lady Robert Ker, Lord Succouth,Lady Campbell, and Misses Campbell, Baron Clerk Rattray and Miss Clerk liattray, Lord Hen - nand and Mrs. Ferguson, Lord Meadowbank, the Marquis and Marquise di Riario S'forza, Sir John and Lady Hope of Craighall, Sir W.

Duff, &c. The dresses of the ladies were remarkably elegant, and those of the gentlemen of the Armyand Navy were very splendid, as were many of the Yeomanry. There was besides a great variety of costume— the Caledonian Hunt, Royal Archers, and Celts ; there were . many in court dresses, some in Spanish and other foreign habits, a Greek, a Turk, and several in the Windsor uniform, the whole forming one of the most imposing combinations of brilliancy imaginable. The band was furnished by Mr. Campbell of Glasgow, and was ably led by 'Mr. Cunnin g h am ofthat city.—The tTpliolstery decorations, we understand, were furnished by Mr. Trotter, and these, we have already noticed, were tasteful and elegant. The rooms were enriched by a profusion of evergreens, and rare exotics in full flower • these were supplied by Mr. Cunninghame of Comely-bank, and, among the latter we observed some beautiful specimens of the Camelia, a plant of which he has long been a celebrated grower. This Ball is, we believe, the second given by the Bachelors of Edinburgh, and the first on thin magnificent scale. It is proposed to continue it annually; but, judging from the attraction which existed between the parties on this occasion, we may venture to predict that many of their num ber will have disqualified themselves, before next morning, by an alteration of their condition, and it wild give us the highest aatidaction to record the happy changes. THE THEATRES. IIING'S THEATRE.--I1 Bar biere di Siviglia was repeated last night. The audience was ntiMe... rous, but not very brilliant. GAnciA sung ad mirably, and, in the scene of pretended ebriety, he was very humorous and diverting: We stilt think that DE BEGNIS should perform Figaro, and the excessive activity of BEN ETTX might he restrained within proper limits in Bartolo. Ott the conclusion of the Opera, a new grand Ballet was brought forward, entitled Le Songe d'Ossian, composed by AUMER. The subject affords good scope for scenery, and the piece received all re quisite decoration in that respect. As to the dancing it is much the same in all pieces of the same kind, and therefore it would be a needless labour to attempt to develope the story. ALBERT, Mad. Rolszt VESTRIS, C. VESTRIS, IDA TALE, Ul.l E A UMEll,MadelnOitielie 1.. E G eos,&c.all ap peared 'to advantage, and the ballet was well re ceived. We here deem it necessary to notice the superiority of manners in our countrymen. As soon as the first act of the Opera ended, and after the first divertisement, many of the fo reigners in the Pit put on their hats, an indecorum of w hick, as far as we could judge, not one Eng lishman was guilty. This practice is very offen sive among so elegant an assemblage as usually attends the King's Theatre, and ought to be abolished by marks of general disapprobation. Cover;T-GAnoEsz.—We lately attended Mr. C. KEmeLE's representation of Hamlet, hut we had not then room to give more' than a general re port of its merit, and therefore witiiesssed its repetition on Monday night. His performance on this occasion, we presume to say, fully satisfied us that he completely comprehends the character, and is legitimate successor to his late brother, who was certainly the best Hamlet of his time. It has been a subject of controversy whether sKser A s: intended to represent Hamlet's mad neis as real or assumed, for a particular purpose. It is evident that Mr. C. K EMBLE assents to the former opinion, and indeed it is surprising that ' the Critics shouid have overlooked one point, which to us appears to settle the question, viz. his Saying that " no traveller returns" after he has passed the bourn of mortal life, though the spirit of his father had actually appeared before him, and this has been considered as a proof that the. author had forgotten what he had previously written. Such a notion is absurd, and unjust to such an author, and it may rather be inferred that he intended it, to show that Hamlet was at times really insane. Mr. C. KEMBLE kept this idea in view, and his performance, in our opinion, was critically just, as well as animated and impressive in execution. —lt was most warmly applauded. Miss HAM.. siensLcv was no that night the Ophelia, and no doubt she would have appeared to more advan tacit, if she had not so immediately followed Miss M. TREE, one of the very best representa tives of that interesting character whom we have ever seen. The Farce was Midas, and Sis'cLAlß recovered all his former honours in the part of Apollo. ADELPIJI THEITItE.—A new Drama, founded on Sir WALTER SCOTT'S popular Novel of Wa verly, was represented at this Theatre, for the first time, on Monday. It abounds with inter esting situations, and was much applauded. Mr. BALL is the author, and he has shewn much skill in selecting and combining the chief incidents of the original Romance. The following is the Green-Room report of the new Comedy, forthcoming at Covent-Garden Theatre :—The scene, we understand, is laid in Italy ; the story is romantic, aacl turns on the punishment of PRTDE. C. liEturtue is the Hero and the Lover, a character well adapted to his person and qualities. JONES is a Rake, which his lively talents are well qualified to support.— f'itnnEN, Mrs. DAVENPORT, and other respect able performers, have prominent characters. The whole, it appears, has been highly effective at the Rehearsals. 'We have heard that the Piece is attributed to Mr. LOTTERF.L, a Gentleman well known in fashionable circles, and who is the author of Letters to Julia. MF;itCANTILE SHIPPING.

There is scarcely any dry Wheat on sale to.day, and so little business_doinc- ' . that this article must be quoted the same as on Monday.

Flour continues without alteration. The change in the weather has Leen attended with the most beneficial effects to the fishermen in the Firth of Forth. The herrings, preferring; the deep water, still remain in two great shoals ; one on the opposite coast, and the other on the south side of Inchkeith,whcreitis said they arelikelyto remain a month longer, if the easterly winds happen to continue so long.
