CITY, lIALF-PAST OXI O'CLOCK. There is nothing doing in the money Markets, which are remarkably gloomy, particularly as respects South American Securities. We undorstend Seignor ZsA,Ambassador from Catholic Majesty the KING of SPAM, arrived in town yesterday. Ile was formerly Ambassa dor at the Court of St. Petersburgh. General ALAVA arrived at the Duke of WELLINGTON'S house, Piccadilly, a few days ago, from Gibraltar, via Lisbon. This dis tinguished patriot, we are sorry to add, is suffering from lameness, occasioned by being struck, while on board the packet, by a falling must, the blow from which nearly cost him his life. We are happy to say be is In a fair way of recovery. The attentions of his Noble Hosts ore unremitting, particularly those of the amiable Duchess. I■ another column we have given extracts from the Paris Papers of Sunday and the Etoile of Monday. The King of Wutttemnsao, as an. nounced by the Telegraph, hai arrived at Mar. stifles, and immediately went to a house prepared for him near the town, where his MAJESTY ;n. tends to take the benefit of sea-bathiug. It has been thought necessary to reinforce the French garrison of Pampeluna, daring the fair to be held there, lest a large concourse of the population should lead to commotion'. The Cour Royale of Paris has decided that the charge instituted against the courier Francais, of having contained writings of a dangerous tendency during a cer-i tain time specified, is well founded, and that Journal is therefore suspended. On a second indictment against the same Paper, the Judges were equally divided iu opinion ; and as the case is a new one, the final result of the prosecution is still doubtful. Au unfavourable decision on this second charge would have been, according to the French law for regulating the public press, followed by the total suppression of the offending publication. The Quotidienne has also subjected itself to prosecution by publishing a letter of the Archbishop of TouLouse, in which that Prelate states that he had received several letters from the Minister of the Interior, requir ing him to adhere to the Declaration issued by the French Clergy in 1682, against the temporal supremacy of the Pont, and that ho had not answered the letters of the Minister, because he looked upon them as the work of an agitator, and would not adhere to the Declaration in ques tion, because he considered it as attacking the authority of the Church. This modern instance of arrogance and obduracy in a Roman Catholic dignitary may have a salutary influence on the French Ultras, by teaching them that their pre tended fanaticism, and their cant respecting the altar and the throne, may have no other effect than that of subjecting both the throne and themselves to the tyrannous sway of a proud and ambitious priesthood. Letters from Constantinopl e of the 10th ult. announce the arrival there of the new French Ambassador to the Porte, General Count G VILLEMINOT. It was expected that the Count's exertions would have a favourable influence on the slow and tiresome negociations for settling the differences between Russia and the Porte, but we have some doubts as to whether the French Cabinet really wishes that tho disputes of these Powers should be speedily adjusted. 'We have reason to believe that France wishes to see Greece finally separated from she Otto man Empire, not so much, it is true, from the impulse of truly noble and generous sentiments in favour of the heroic race of men who have so bravely proved their title to freedom on the, heads of their barbarous oppressors, as from the secret views which France entertains of extend ing her own influence and power in the East of Europe,—views of which we always considered the projected establishment of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, on a Grecian territory, as an unequivocal symptom. It is true that the intentions of the French Government on this affair may have been changed by the dismissal of M. de CIIATNAU• BNIAND, who was probably the author of the project ; but opinions which have been once strongly impressed upon the mind can only be altered by a corresponding change in the course of the events to which they owe their formation. Intelligence has been received from Sierra Leone of the 17th of April, and from Cape Coast Castle of the 9th of May, which is far from being of a satisfactory nature. It appears that since the diastrous defeat of Sir CHARLES MACARTHY, the British forces have been so closely pressed by the Ashautees, that Captain BLENCARNE, who commanded the troops at Cape Coast, had found it necessary to retire behind the Boosampra River. The Ashantees had also crossed the river, and had advanced to Corn monde, within fifteen miles of Cape Coast Castle. This strong hold, however, which mounts 100 guns, is alleged to be proof against any attack of the enemy; and there are besides, on two hills which command the laud approach to the castle, rnarte!lo towers, mounted with 3g-pound car ronades. Ma. O t CA.LLAGIIAN was on Monday last re leased from florsemouger-laue Gaol. There seems to be a general opinion that his punish ment was severe, and certainly it was not antici pated to such au extent by the Jury, who gave their verdict against him, but strongly recom mended a lenient sentence. Those who know him describe him as a man of spirit, but not likely to take offence without due provocation. For eight days it appears that he was confined iu a solitary cell, and only supplied with bread and water. It seems that, apprehensive that some parade would attend his liberation, man. rally arising from the seal of his friends, he did not even inform his brother of the time when he intended to quit the prison on the day of his en largement. He was not, however, suffered to depart in silence, for the criminal prisoners and the debtors hailed him with shouts of applause, and the windows of the surrounding houses were filled with visitors who joined in the acclama tions, so that he appeared like a victor returning In triumphant state. Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Odic., Down ing street, which 'was attended by the Earls of LIVERPOOL, WESTMORLAND, and 1311111.11/11T, Mr. Secretary CANNING, Mr. Secretary Pent., the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHFAUER, Viscount MUG. VILLE, Lord BEXLEY, Mr. ilusstssox, &c. The Court sat in deliberation till five o'clock. The KING left his Palace in Pall-mall about six o'clock yesterday afternoon, in an open car riage, drawn by four fine horses, for his Lodge iu Windsor Great Park, escorted by a party of the 7th Hussars. Yesterday afternoon Prince Leopotn arrived at Marlborough House from Claremont. The CHANCELLOR of tilt Bina k:QUER And Lady SARAH ROBINSON arrived in town on Mon day from Charlton. The Marquis of FlAsTutos, with his family, arrived at Malta on the 7th ult. Business was for some days almost at a stand, in consequence of the rejoicings for his Lordship's arrival. The Athol frigate arrived in Leith roads on the 6th inst. from Quebec, with the CTlntess of DAL.. noustu. and family his Lordship was landed from the frigate at Portmouth. On Tuesday, the 6th instant, at a special meet ing of the Corporation of this City, his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester was unanimously elected Lord High Steward, in the room of the late Lord Henry Molyneux Howard. This office has before been filled by a branch of the Royal Fa mily. On the 13th of June, 1660, llenry Duke of Gloucester was elected High Steward of this city. This Prince, " Henry of Oatlands, youngest son of Charles the First, was born Otte of July, 1640, and declared Duke of Gloucester by his Royal Father; but was not created till May 13, 1639, by his brother Charles 11., whom he accompanied into England at his re storation, and who also made him Earl of Cambridge."— ( Gloucester Journal.) The Duke of Sussrx I►as transmitted five guineas to Mrs. BLAND'a► Committee, in aid of their present exertions to endeavour to secure to her 1001. a year for her life. Several of the King's Counsel, with others of that profession, have con tributed liberally for the same good purpose within the last two days. FUNERAL OF MR. BARON' Woon.—The Re mains of this Noble and Learned Baron were this day removed from his house in Bedford square, and deposited in a vault in the Middle Temple. The procession consisted of a hearse, three mourning coaches, and fourteen private carriages. Sulcum.—A female servant, of the name of Mary Jones, living with a gentleman at Grove row, Hackney, yesterday put a period to her ex istence by drowning herself in a water-butt which stood in the back-yard. She was discovered with her head downwards some time after by one of the family, who gave the alarm, and the body was got out, but was found to be quite dead.— She had for some weeks past exhibited symptoms of depression, and which it is supposed arose from a disappointment in a love case.

KINCIII THEATRE.—The Opera of La Donna dal Logo, which was to have been represented for the benefit of Madame Itomzr nu BEGNIS, but retarded by her indisposition, •was brought forward last night, and well attended. Madame OE BEGNIs assumed the part of Elena, and im parted to it all that interesting grace and feeling which invariably mark her acting. She also sung with most pathetic sweetness, and was abundantly rewarded by universal applause.— GARCIA'S Roderic Dhu was very impressive. CURIONI, and PORTO gave strong support to the piece, and Madame VESTRIS exerted herself more than could be expected, as she displayed a degree of languor obviously resulting from her resent indisposition. HAYSIARKET.—The arrangement at this Theatre last night was to have been Love Laughs at Lock smiths, Exchange no Robbery, and Fish out of Dater ; but the last was represented as the second piece, as Mrs. CHATTERLEY was engaged on duty at Covent-Garden Theatre. The three pieces were all much applauded, particularly as LISTON displayed his humour in full luxuriance. Esousn Orciti Iloust.—The Opera entitled The Devil's Bridge, written, we believe, by the Proprietor of this Theatre, was brought forward lust night, but not so well attended as the general merit of the performance deserved. BRAIIAId was the Count Bellino. His acting was unaf fected, and his singing admirable, though he was obviously affected by some remains of a cold.— The part of the Countess Rosalvina was per formed by Miss Nom., whose Lucy Bertram we recently noticed with well-merited commenda tion. Having acquired more self-possession, her powers appeared to greater advantage, and both in acting and singing she acquitted herself to the full satisfaction of the audience. Miss KELLY, one of the most popular favoirites of the day, and who well deserves the high estima tion which she has acquired, gave such a variety in merriment, pathos, and general spirit, to the part of Lauretta, as of course to render it one of the most prominent in the piece. We have before mentioned the obvious improvement in theatrical merit of Miss POYEY, and her Claudine afforded a new proof of the justness of the remark.— BaNNterr, from Covent-Garden, and KEELEY, front the saute place, in Marcelli and Pedro, aided respectably the general effect. The au dience increased in number with the prog ress of the Opera, and The Monkey I s l an d dtained them till the conclusion. THE LATE MR. WATT. A meeting was held ypsterday (Saturday, July 10), in the large room of the Waterloo Hotel, Edinburgh, to promote the subscription for a Monument in Westminster Ab bey, to the late James Watt. This meeting was called by Sir W. Scott and Mr. Francis Jeffrey, as members of the London Committee, and it was understood that Lord Elgin would take the chair; but his Lordship being detained at another meeting, Sir Walter Scott was named as his substitute by acclammation. Among sixty or seventy other gentlemen, were observed, Lord Elgin ' and the Lord Chief Commissioner. Sir WALTER explained shortly the purpose of the Meeting, and delivered a most animated eulNiurn on Mr. Watt, w hi c h he most happily interspersed with many beautiful illustra tions and allusions. Mr. Jeffrey followed at more length, and proposed at once to commence the subscription, when Professor Pillans suggested that it would be far more honour. able to the memory of Mr. Watt, while it would redound more to the credit of Scotland, to open a subscription of their own, for a monument in the country of Mr. Watt's birth—in the place where his inventions were first conceived and brought to light. The Professor was supported by Mr. John Craig, from Glasgow, to whom both Sir Walter and Mr. Jeffrey replied, that the object of this Meeting was to obtain subscriptions in aid of the London one ; that the monument was to he a great national one ; and that no better place could be chosen for it than the metropolis of the empire. Air. Jeffrey was about to dose the business of the meeting accordingly, when Mr. Cockburn entered the room, and began by protesting against so precipitate a vote on so important a measure. Ile said he held in his hund a copy of the intimation by which the meeting was called, and there was no specific Object condescended on. Gen tlemen were now convoked, therefore, for the general purpose of taking measures to raise a monument to the memory of M r. Watt. Mr. Cockburn proceeded to remark, that he by no means opposed subscriptions in aid of the London one, but it would be fair end proper to state to the public that a Scottish one was also in contemplation. Ile wished a monument for such a man to be erected in the open air, so that the meanest me in what gen i us an d i n d ustry poorest onesplendid ithen p r ocountry might have it constantly a his eye, nnd as might achieve. He did not see the propriety of burying such a monument in Westminster Abbey, where it could only be seen by the happy few who might be able to pay 2S. or 2s M. for the gratification. The Lord Chief Commissioner considered that, to a man like Watt, the country ought never to be weary of testifying their gratitude and admiration, and that they might liberally assist the London Committee without in - the least affecting the object entertained by Mr. Cockburn. His Lordship then stated that lie had long enjoyed the friendship of Mr. Watt, and paid many compliments to the quulites of his mind as well as of his heart. Mr. Cockburn replied, by ob serving that he saw some independent mechanics in the room, who, he had no doubt, would instantly call a meeting, by which Scotland would be roused to a sense of their ingratitude in de laying so long to do justice to the memo! ) , of their countryman, in such a monument as he had been projecti nr The business of this particular meeting was then poceedet with ; but it was not difficult to perceive from the numbers who departed with out subscribing (indeed all excepting six or seven), that Mr. Cockburn's view of the subject had secured general approba tion, and must be speedily adopted by the public.—(Glut row Ch ronkle.)

SlONElt.—Richard Prince and 'Sarah Plaice were put to the bar on two indictments, charging them with assaulting, at Chelsea, Edward Donaldson and his wife, under circumstances of the most ag gravating nature. The circumstances of the case were, that the defendants had formerly resided with the prose. cutor and his wife, and were indebted to them to a considerable amount, credit having been g i ven them on the faith of a promise, that on receiving his pension the prosecutor should be paid. By consent, the prosecutor and his wife went to Chelsea on the day the pensioners received their money, and, without any cause, took an oppor tunity of not only abusing, but violently assault inn the prosecutor. For the defence, a fellow was called to prove that the wife of the prosecutrix had robbed the defendant, Sarah Plaice, of her shawl, but he completely failed. The Jury found the prisoners Guilty, and the Court, to mark its sense of thu transaction,ordered the male prisoner, Prince, to pay a fine of 41., and the female V., and to be detained until the flue was paid. They were detained accordingly. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.
