The market looks dull, and little is doing.—The French Rentes at Paris come 99f. 15c, We have this morning received intelligence from a valuable. Correspondent at Mayence, which is only two posts from Johannisberg, where the ominous Congress of Ministers is at present held, under the auspices of Prince METTERNICIL—i Our, Correspondent informs us that Count MUNSTER, the Hanoverian Minister to Great Britain, who was on a joUrney from this country to Hanover, was. overtaken: by dispatches at Cologne, which had been sent after him from London, the contents of which induced him to' change his route, end proceed immediately to Johannisberg, where he arrived on the 9th inst. At first, Count MUNSTER intended to remain at Johannisberg, only a single day ; but after an interview with Prince METTEttNicn he re. solved on prolonging his stay until the import ant affair which brought him there is finally set tled. Our Correspondenti , mho was aware of the intention to send' liand4iterien - troops 'to Portu gal, states that strong exceptions are taken to such a measure, on the ground that it would be a violation of the arrangement of the German Confederation. This is certainly a new and serious objection to the employment of Hanoverian troops in the way proposed ;• and it will probably indace our Government to send British troops only to Lisbon. Our Correspondent at Mayence says, that the Austrian Funds at Frankfort, on the 10th instant, were 034,1, being a fall of above 11 per cent. in the course of two days. The greatest gloom pervaded the Money karket. - Wt. regret to lay before our Readers a Proda. motion or . Declaration of War by 'the Governor- I General is Council, dated Fort William, the sth of March last, from which it appears that after a series of unprovoked aggressions and provocations by the Burman Government, our Indian Empire if involved in hostilities with that powerful Go vernment, whose territories adjoin the east and north-east frontiers of Bengal, and are of great extent and populousness. We hope that European intrigue has not been employed to incite the Birtnese to hostilities ; but we confess that. we have some strong doubts upon this sub ject, which the progress of the war will probably soon confirm or entirely dissipate. In a preceding column we have given gxtraets from the French Papers. They contain nothing of importance. "The Lyon, Cutter, arrived at Plymouth yeS. terdny, from the island of Sacrificios, coast of 'Mexico, in furtkone days. She brings the ratification of the Loan Contracted with 13. A. GoLoscuminT and Co., by 'Whom she was dispatched to Mexico with the contract. The accounts she brings are, we hear, generally favourable. She left the 6th June. In a Paris Letter which we yesterday quoted from the Nor'ning chronicle, it was stated that Prince PAUL ESTEnIIAZY had set off from Paris for this country, for the purpose of remonstrating against the proposed employment of Hanoverian troops in Portugal. Now, the fact Is that his Excellency, whose arrival we announced on Thursday, did not come to this country from Paris, but from Johannisberg, via Brussels. Our Readers are aware that we have long been of opinion, that in consequence of the extensive use of machinery, and the other means of prodi giously increasing the productive power of the country, which have been called into action by the progress of science and the spirit of enter prize, it has become necessary to resort to a new principle for the regulation of the value of labour, and for rescuing a large portion of the working classes from the state of misery and degradation into which they have sunk, and which, unless effectual preventives be promptly resorted to,must eventually engulf the whole of the lower classes. The Report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons appointed to examine into the practice of paying wages, or portions of wages, out of the poor's rates, has brought to light a mass of evidence, incontrovertibly proving that the agricultural labouring population is now, generally speaking, immersed in the deepest misery by the errors of the present system,—a misery which we are well assured can never be alleviated by any of the expedients hitherto sug gested, and which on the contrary has an inevit able tendency, unless met by direct and straight forward counteractions, (such, for instance, as the elia i ctment of a minimum price for labour), .o rett4e Great Britain to the wretched and almost hopeless condition of Ireland.— With such proofs before us of the evils re sulting from the system of unlimited competi tion, particularly as respects the injurious effects produced upon the value of labour, and conse quently upon the comforts and happiness of the greater part of society, it is truly astonishing that Parliament, so far from legislating remedially against so destructive a principle, has even sub jected to its pernicious operation the only portion of the working classes who were by a salutary re gulation preserved from it, viz. the Spitaltields Weavers. _ . --- COURT OF KING'S ,IMNPII—(Tuts.DA Y.) At half-past ten o'clock Mr. DALE took his seat on the Bench. Justice LITTLE• TILE MENDICITY SOCIETY.' AND TIIE TIMES JOURNAIJ. llis Li:minute bding informed that the Jury in this cause, who had been in deliberation on the verdict from three o'clock yesterday afternoon, and had not decided when he entered this morn ing, but being informed they wished to see him, he ordered them to come into Court. The first question his Lordship said, was Gentlemen, have you all agreed, ? The Foreman said, that some of the Jury-were unwell, one of whom stated he was extremely ill, and could not possibly undergo the • fatigue . ; they would never agree in the verdict, and it was useless to stay. Four other Jurymen also complained of severe indisposition, and that the whole discussion rest ed on the damages to he awarded. Here the ATTOaNEY-GENERAL said, he would admit of nominal damages. A Juror wished to be informed if that carried costs with it ? The ATTORNEY•GENCHAL—Yes. The Jury having consulted together, returned a verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages, Thirty Shil lings—Costs, Forty Shillings. It was intimated from his Lordship, that gen. tlemen above the age of 70 years, of whom there appeared on this Jury to be two between 70 and 80 years, would in future be exempt from at- tending. Mr. COBDETT has giVen a . history of the BARING family, in a Letter addressed to Mr. BROUGHAM, censuring that Gentleman for the high character which he gave of that family a recent law case. But in reality he only. proves that Mr. BROUGHAM did his duty as,an• advocate, and exerted himself with the , full force of hi's great abilities in supporting the cause.of his client. ; A passenger in the Asia, arrived in the Downs ] , from Bengal, reports, that previous ,to leaving , St. Helena,- an American .vessel.t from, Bencoelen' touched there, and stated that theLklante, YluNi, of London, with Sir S.

Daunt-LANE..---Miss L. PATox, who made so successful an appearance in the character of Letitia Hardy, on Thursday, performed that cha racter again last night, and experiened an equally favourable reception. She is young, and, displaying so much ability at her years, she is likely to establish herself as one of the chief public favourites in - the comic province. HAYMARKET.—One of the most amusing Co medies which Ave have. for a long time attended, was brought forward last night at this Theatre, under the title of Married and d Single. The fol lowing is a very brief outline of the PLOT. The hero of the piece Melford, a young portrait painter, is Intlebt. His uncle, Beau Shatterly,.a gentleman, who, though sixty, and married, wishes to act the part of a single young Man, is resolved to withdraw from MeWord the income which he has hitherto allowed him, Wise finds that he has been extra vagant. Calling on his studious Nephew, while the latter is out of the room, it is announced that two Ladies in a coach wait for bins at the door. The Uncle resolveslo supplant the young man, presents himself to the supposed. Ladies as Mr. IVlellbrd, and is arrested for Melford's (144.

Part of the money applied to this purpose is furnished by a Mrs. Waddy, the Uncle's debtor. It transpires that Mr. Melford (the name assumed by the Uncle) had been thus liberated, and this awakes the jealousy of the Nephew's mistress. New embarrassments follow. Mel. ford sentla to his intended wife an unceremonious letter, which he intends for a Bailiff, expressing a wish to remain "at liberty a little longer." Ile gets a challenge from an Irish Chairman, whom his Uncle had offended in a sponging -house, and bor rows money to pay a debt which Shatterly had previously settled. Explanations eventually make known the old (len- tleman's mischance, which he had. been .very anxious to con ceal. To save himself, he overlooks the imprudence of Mel ford, and swallows the bitter pill of redonciliation with Mrs. Shatterly. The characters were judiciously assigned, and most ably supported. FAttR.V.I never appeared to more advantage titan in his representation of the old Beau Shatter/a. COOPER gave strong support to the part of iligford. VINING, was lively and effective in Scamper the Footman, an d W. WEST so diverting a representative of the young Lawyer, Ferret, that. he will soon make his way to the Patent Boards. Poec and Mrs. Gt.ovcrt were prominent in the wrangling pair, Mr. and Mrs. Bickerton, who are always pro. fersing submission to each other,and always con tending for superiority. Mrs. T. HILL gave full effect to the jealous young Lady, and the other characters were not-without adequate support. A first liablic performance may generally be consi. tiered- as the last rehearsal of any dramatic work, yet never witnessed k Piece that was more accurate and -spirited . than the present Comedy, or , one that vetjuired less retvenclimeut.• There are, indeed ? some parts that. may be' fairly loppOdicitroathOut.iessening the general interest, and or - wilibhfthit omission would give more vivid force': _fill thothviible.

PROLOGUE To the New Comedy of Married and Single. BY JOHN TAYLOR, ESQ. The Drama that to-night your kindness claims Approaches now with no ambitious aims, No School fbr Scandal, and no Jealous Ifrift; It merely chews what oft is seen in life, And humbly follows in that light career Which marks the comic sketches foster'd here. A second Oa LEIVI perchance you'll find, Not with the lordly grace and temper kind T hat former Bards in friendly union drew, Vain, airy, elegant, to Nature true, And, though no more in fashion, ever new. Like him, our ()WADY would young appear, Reckless of grave rebula or popted sneer : An ape of modern manners, with grimace, Who thndly emulates the Dandy race. Haply our 'Author may be found to trench, Just en passant, upon a scene that's French, But a mere hint lie takes, and moulds it so, , "Tis English, English, Sirs, from top to toe." To sooth, if such are here, all Critic foes, One plea we'll mention, but no more disclose: And hence we tell you to our Bard you owe The faithful Simpson and his rambling Co. Then, for their sakes, ye wits, let censure cease, And the warm season melt you into peace. I .* The Author of the Comedy did not apply for a Prologue till Tuesday last, and was not then aware that as the LORD CHANDEIMAIN is in Scotland, there was not time to procure the indispensable sanction of his Lordship for the recitation.

ORIENTAL CLUB..-- Under this title another club has been just established at the West End, in Lower Grosvenor. street, Grosvenor-square. The building selected for this esta blishment is the spacious mansion, No. 16, lately occupied by his Grace the Duke of Rutland. The staircase opens into a number of apartments on the first floor, the two principal of which are appropriated to the public' dining-room and the reading-room. These rooms,‘ from the centres of which are suspended two beautiffil lustres, are finished in a style which shows that a due attention to con venience, as well as splendour, has not been disregarded. —On the second floor are also a number of apartments, fitted up in the same qyle, some of which are to be appro: printed for the use of those who may prefer privacy in entertaining their friends.—Neitheir has amusement been neglected, as far as a club can contribute to it, a bid. Hard room being set apart for those who may choose to pass away their leisure hours in that way. The house has undergone a completely new repair, and the whole is nr ranged in a style corresponding with the ideas of splen dour and magnificence indicated by its tide. The furniture, which has been supplied by Mr. Seddons, of Alderwite street, is of the richest and most elegant. description.— The Admission is confined to those who have travelled or resided in Asia, Saint Helena, the Cape of flood Hope, the Mauritius in Egypt, or at Constantinople, or whose official situations connect them with • the administration of our Eastern Government Abroad or at home, or who are Mem bers of the Royal ,Asiatic Society, and the number is at p r e s ent limited to 800.

The prisoner then wished to look at a purse, which caused the young ladies who were in the shop to go on the other side of the counter, on which the prisoner ran away.

(FROM THE SOUTHAMPTON CHRONICLE, JULY 17.) PouTsmotmr, JULY M.—Arrangements have been made for the garrisoning the island of Bermuda with Marines, 300 of that corps will be sent out as early as possible, and the cdm mend of these troops, (as well as 200 Marines, now doing duty there, as a guard to the convicts, ) will be given to Lieutenant Colonel Lewis, of the Plymout h division. The Loyal Briton, transport, Lieut. P. Ambrose, agent, is ordered to proceed to Plymouth, to receive on board part of this reinforcement; con. sitting of about 100 Officers, non-commissioned Officers, and privates. The Baltic Merchant, transport, Lieut. Leyster, proceeds to Dublin with'the ti7th B i est. and will convey troops back. The Speck, transport, Lieut. De Corder u tx, agent, arrived here on Saturday with the remainder of the 2nd battalion of 3rd - FoOt (guards from Plymouth, who have landed and marched to Windsor. The Royal Sovereign, yacht, commanded by Captain Sir M. Seymour, Baronet, K.C.8., (acting In the absence of Captain Adam), arrived at Spithead on Sunday last: it is reported that the Board of Admiralty. will embark on board this yacht, and proceed in her to Plymouth and Milford, to make an officiril visit to those yards. The Admiralty yacht is also urriv6d from the river, and has anchored off Ryde. A deputation from the Corporation of London has arrived here, and intend returning to town by way of the Canal ; the object of their visit being (as we are Informed) connected with the conservancy of the river Thames, which belongs to this body corporate. On Monday the Scorpion, tender, proei:eded to Plymouth with some Marines. The Viper, tender, sailed on Tue.sday, on a cruise. _ On Wednesday the Woodlark, tender to the Gloucester, brought several seamen to this port, raised in London. • The Board of Admiralty have recently issued instructions for a new mode of victualling his Majesty's fleet which we cannot but think will contribute essentially to the comfort and conve nience of our brave tars: by the present regulations each matt and boy on. board a King's ship will be entitled to the following .quantities of provisions daily, viz.:—One pound of bread; ono .quantities of beer, or (when at sea) a pint of win 4, or a. quarter of a pint of rum instead of beer , S. •orie ottnet of cocoa, one ounce and a half of suar one pound of fresh meat, half a pound of vegetables, and half an ounce of tea. The principal alteration in this mode of victualling consists in the diminution of halt' the quantity of spirits for merly allowed, when spirits were served, and the substitution, in lieu thereof, of tea and cocoa, and in further compensation two shillings per month hackled to the pay of • ever y warrant and petty officer, seaman, and boy ; which two shillitts will be paid to them every two or three months when in port, win...titer at home or abroad ; by these means the sailor will always have his few shillings to spend, without having re course to many improper methods, which the want of money often induced, when in port on foreign stations, and at the same time a less quantity of ardent spirits will tend materially topic ' serve not only the health, but the discipline of the ships' com pany : much praise therefore we conceive is due to the authors of this new regulation. By Order in Council, his Majesty has been graciously pleased to establish two new classes or petty officers on board his Majesty's ships, to be called Maste.si Assistants and Volun teers of the Second Class.
