MR. ABERNETHY ON THE NOSE. (From the Lancet-) Well, then comes.the.business of what's to be Itione in hemorrhage froM the nose, but hremor, hage from the nose is the result of the same cause. emorrhage to a certain amount from the nose IA good, but it sometimes goes on to an enor- Itions extent. Haller lias given a chapter on the : ilumense quantity of blood that has been lost in hemorrhage from the nose, where he endeavours to estimate the quantity of blood that probably may be circulating in our vessels. He says it must be considerable, since such an immense quantity has been lost by hemorrhage from the nose. NoW, there are no 'vessels in the nose that would bleed in the manner I allude to, unless there was irritation kept up, unless there was some thing keeping up Insmorrhagic action. I grant the vessel to be large and numerous ; I grant the pituitary membrane to be excessively vas cular ; you know when lit is injected it looks as red as the injection itself; but still I say, there must be inflammatory action to produce such hemorrhage, and when people are quite . faint from the loss of blood, a surgeon is called in to stop it. How is he to do that ? Why, they have talked ' of doing it in this way—any one can stop it from the front you 'know, but they say you are to stop_ it by plugging up the pha rynx. Put a tube through the nose as far as the pharynx, then put Gown a piece of elastic steel, catch it and bring it into the mouth, and tie a piece of sponge to it adequate to fill up . the pos terior opening of the nostril, then draw it in and plug up the opening. Now, that this can be done sometimes I know,' because I have seen it done; but, upon My 'honour, they must be cleverer people than I , ain that will .do it— cleverer or more patient, , I don't know which it is. Whenever I have tried to do it, I have never been able to• accomplish it. Of' course I can do it very `well on the dead subject. I could do it too on the living subject, if these. levatores palaii would be quiet, but they will not, and I have not been able to do it. Well then, I have never seen any man with a bleeding from the nose—and I have seen plenty of them, that could not have that bleeding stop ped by plugging up the nose, introducing lint from the front. You make a cylinder of lint adequate to fill the tubular part of the nostril ; you wrap it round a probe, making it long enough to go front the front aperture of the nose to the back of the aperture ; you wet it, t*ist it round, make it something like a large tiongie, make it hard, and then you introduce it 'rim the front aperture, carrying it along the floor of the nose till you are sure it has reached the back aperture. Now, I never saw a hemorrhage take place after that was done. It does not come into the throat, and yet it seems to plug up the beck apertures. When you put the plug in you vitlfriraw the probe. I remember a neighbour Of, my .own, who had a country house about thirty miles off, and he had hemorrhage from the nose to A very great degree: ,He sent for me, and I went - clown to see him. •I found him as pale as a corpse, sit ting in a cold room in the winter time, and wait ing the return of the hernorrhage every moment: I said, well now, this is not a very comfortable room, and so you hastiloster come into the 1 other room, where there is a fire. 1 Fitionki like it better ; and I should think that, in your state, you might take a cup of tea---of warm tea or something of that kind. Ice seems to itfe . to be very cold.—(Great laughter.) Yes, but, said be, this haemorrhage will come on again. Ph, that's just what I want ; I just want it to come on again, and when it does, depend upon it I'll stop it. He had not been near the fire, and taken the tea log, before gush came the blood again. • I plugged it i,n the man ner I have described ; he did not think it pos sible that it could , be suppressed, but I stayed ail that night in his house, and not a drop of blood more issued. Now the plug reaming lit for three or four days, and a nasty stinking piece of busi ness it is. .I..et'it stay for three or four days and, during that time, you ought to be employed in putting the alimentary organs to rights, then ,you withdraw the plug. - WHEAT.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. " VIENNA, Juto 19.—The Austrian Observer has extracted from the Greek Universal Gazette the following report by Captain Hastings, commander of the Korteria steam-boat, on his expedition in the Gulf of Volo TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE GRAND ADMIRAL, LORD COCIIRAXX. • " ' On board the Karteria, April 23. " I have the honour to inform you, that, pursuant to your orders, I sailed for Volo with my division, consist ing of the Themistocks, the Axes, the Aspasia, and the Panagi. I ordered the Themistoeles and the Axes to make for the battery at the entry of the port, and to can nonade it. This was performed with uncommon intrepi dity. The battery was approached to within musket-shot, end soon silenced by the fire from the two vessels. I then stood with the boats into the port, and found there eight Turkish vessels, all of which struck, but the fire from the batteries rendered it extremely difficult to carry them off. Finally, after an action of four hours, we succeeded in obtaining possession of four brigs. Two we burned, and only a email one was left under the walls of the town, but even that was dismasted. It is with the greatest satisfaction I inform you that we have not lost a single man, though we were during four hours exposed to the enemy's fire. The highest praise is due to the conduct of all the officers and sailors of the squadron. On the night of the 22d I proceeded to Trikkai with the view of capturing a Turkish brig of war of 16 guns. Finding, however, that she was lying in the midst of rocks, and under the protection of batteries, we thought it advisable to withdraw. Neverthe less, I mean to remain here for three or four days, to destroy the enemy's brig if possible. " I have the honour to he, &c. " ' HASTINGS.' • " My Lord,—Au hour after I sent off my last despatch, I stood in with all the vessels "of my division against. Trikkai, where the Turkish brig lay. She was close in shore, surrounded by high rocks, and she was protected by a strong detachment of Albanians and also by five batteries. It would have been risking the lives of our seamen too much to have attempted to take possession of this brig. I therefore determined to burn her, which was accomplished in about an hour. Every one connected with the expedi tion acted with the greatest gallantly. Our loss is incon siderable. " HASTINGS.' (From the Constitutionnel.) " ' The Greek Gazelle of the 9th of May contains the following report from General Church, addressed to the overnmeut Commission on the death of Genera' itraiskaki : " ' Camp of Phalerus, May 9. " With the greatest sorrow I announce to the illus trious Commission of the Government that the country and the army are deprived of the services of the brave General Karaiskaki, commanding the Greek troops on the main land. This gallant General, whose loss the army deplores, died in consequence of a wound which he received yesterday. I send you the bulletin of the action, which was of no importance, except by its depriving Greece of one of her bravest Generals, 'and of some soldiers who Were killed or wounded at the same time. '‘ Yesterday, at nine o'clock (three o'clock p.m.), some of the irregular troops fired on one of the enemy's posts established at Phalerus. The Turks returned the fire, and a Greek was wounded. The Turks sallied forth to take the wounded man prisoner, and some of his comrades ad vanced to protect him ; and at length so many men gra dually collected, that an irregular action took place ; the Greeks attacked the intrenched post, and another near the ilea; a large body of the enemy's cavalry advanced to pro tect these posts. General Karsiskaki having heard the tire, hastened to the spot to put an end to the combat. Other Generals followed him, and proceeded to engage the cavalry and infantry instead of endeavouring to stop the firing ; the consequence was, the loss of some officers and iioldiers, who were killed and wounded. The English Captain Withon, who has distinguished himself on several occasions, was severely wounded by a cannon shot, but I hope be is out of danger. Panagioti Vitina, General Aide-de•Canip, was also seriously wound ed. The loss of the Turks is great, particularly in cavalry. hone that the loss which the Greeks have sustained in is unexpected affair will be a Jews to them, and that in tire they will not engage without orders, . " CHURCH, General-in-Chief." (From the Etoile dated Saturday, June 80.) Pasts, JUNE 29.—The Bulletin of the Laws, No. " 171, which was published the day before yesterday, con tains the law on the budget for IHSIB, as voted hy the Chambers, and eauctioned hy the King on the It4.tti ur ' June. According to the table„ annexed to the law, the presumed receipts are 924,410,361 francs; the expendi. turn 929,711,602 ; leaving a surplus of 1,698,759 francs. Who land•tax for the Department of the fieine, for Ibt/ii. Is 8,994,690 francs ; the tax on furniture, awl the per sonal tax, 5,471,394 francs ; that on doors and windows, 1,471,685 frame. " A Frenchman residing at Algiers writes to us front that city, under the date of the 111th of June, cot follows : " Within these few days, a great change has taken place in our situation, and the insults whi ch the Da y has ventured to Mier to our Consul• General are going to be revenged. " On the 11th of this month we saw La Torche schooner arrive, and the following day a division, consist ing of a ship of the line, two frigates, and a corvette, came and took up its stat►on before the port. Energetic representations have been made to the Dey by Captain gullet, who commands this division/ and they were soon rollowed by a declaration of war, the first result of which will be, that nothing can enter or leave the port of Algiers without the permission of the French Commander. Our Consul-General is on board the ship of the line, with the Commander, and all are embarked on hoard a brig of Marseilles, which is going to convey us to France.' " A fortunate circumstance fur oar commerce is, that Algerine ships of war, which were ready to.put to sea to exercise their usual system of piracy in the Mediterra iiean, were in the port, which they cannot now leave. Only two ships of the Regency', a frigate and a corvette, are at sea, but it is known whither they are gone : they will he pursued by his Majesty's ships, and it is highly probable that they will soon be unable to undertake any thing against the ships that have sailed from the ports of Prance.' Manarn, Jour 18.—In a late consistory, the Pope, no the recommendation of Bolivar, gave the canonical in atitution to several Bishops of our American colonies. This affair as present greatly engages the attention of the Spanish Cabinet. M. Aparici, Spanish Charge d'Affaires at Rome, communicating this news to his Government, Oates that this measure is the result of a concordat between Rome and Colombia, concluded by its representative Texatid. Orders were immediately despatched to all the authorities on the frontiers, enjoining them not to admit the new Nuncio from the Pope." FR ENC 0 Fount, Jour 29. —Five per Cents., Ioff.

The LORD CHANCELLOR and several Peers, came down to the House of Lords, at one o'clock, when Viscount HUTCHINSON VMS introduced, by Viscounts GODERICII and DUDLEY, as Viscount Hutchinson of the United Kingdom. At two o'clock, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and Viscounts Dudley and Goderich, appeared in their robes as Lords Commissioners ; and his MAJESTY'S Com mission having been read, authorizing them to give the Royal Assent, to several bills, and also to prorogue this present Parliament, hav ing been read, the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod was directed to require the atten dance of the Commons, at their Lordships' bar. In a few minutes afterwards, the SPEAKER, accompanied by the Right Hon. CHARLES GRANT, and several other Members, made his appearance. After the usual forms had been gone through, The LORD CHANCELLOR proceeded to read his Majesty§ Speech, which was to the follow ing effect My Lords and Gentlemen, We are commanded by his MAJESTY to ex press to you the satisfaction which his MAJESTY feels in being enabled by the state of the public buiiness, to release you from further attendance in Parliament. His MAJESTY directs us to inform you that he continues to receive from all Foreign Powers assurances of their earnest desire to cultivate rela- Lions of friendship with his MAJESTY, and that: his MAJESTY'S best efforts, as well as his MA - EST 'it's communications with I►tH AM.., unceasingly directed to the termination of e's.4t ing hostilities, and to the maintenance of general b'e ace. Gentlemen of the House of Commons, His MAJESTY commands us to thank you for the supplies which you have granted for the service of the present year, and to assure you that his MAJESTY has given directions for a careful revision of the financial state of the coun try, with a view to every diminution of expendi ture which may be found consistent with the ne cessary demands of the public service, and with the permanent interests, good faith, and honour of the nation. My Lords and Gentlemen, His MAJESTY is confident that you partici pate with his MAJESTY, in the pleasure which his MAJESTY derives from the indications of a gradual revival of employment in the manufac- turing districts. His MAJESTY trusts, that although your de. liberations on the Corn Laws have not led dur. ing the present Session to a permanent settle. ment of that important question, the considera tion of it will be resumed by you early in the ensuing Session, and that such an arrangement of it may finally be adopted, as shall satisfy the reasonable wishes and reconcile the substantial interests of all classes of his MAJESTY'S subjects. At the conclusion of the Speeck, the Lord Chancellor declared the Parliament to be prorogued to Tuesday the 21st of August. The following were the Bills to which the Royal Assent had bee►► given : The Vote of Credit Bill. The Revenue Consolidation Bill. • The Warehoused Corn Bill. The Corn Averages 13111.

These Decrees, twelve in number, are dated IlemOca, Julie 9. Limn, Just I Gazette contains aoveral De crees to the following effect 1. In convideration oF the zeal and gootl.will shown by the Bishop of Vim, in his office of Minister of the Inte rior, her Highness is pleased to allow him to retain all the honours and distinctions attached to that office. Considering the long and distinguished services of General Ptiz M. de Moura Cabral, who, after so meritori ous a career, without any fortune for his own support and that of his family, and having due regard to his representa tions that the state of his health doe* not allow hint to al c cept the office of Governor and .Captaip-General of t Hi g h n ess permits him to decline that pe st, and appointsAzor s,i rm Councillor of Finance.

C. de Saldenht as Oliveira e Daun to act, ad interim, as Minister of Foreigu Affairs.— Lislon Qazetss to 17th /meal HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER entered the House this clay a little before two o'clock, and after hearing prayers, pro ceeded to count the Members, when it appeared that there were only thirty in attendance ; amongst whom we distinguished the Right Han, Secretary Sturges Bourne, Right Hon. Charles Grant, Mr. Wilmot Horton, and Mr. Brougham, who was robed, and bad a petition in his hand, but the Speaker not having taken the chair before the entrance of the Black Rod, the petition was not presented. A few minutes after two o'clock, the Yeomen of the Black Rod entered the House, and announced that the Lords Commissioners nominated by his Majesty to declare the Royal Assent to several Acts PRICES OF SHARES Till, Brazilian Mining Co. Guardian Assurance Co. ' Canada Company of Parliament, and to prorogue the present Parria ment, were assembled in the House of Lords, and re quested the attendance of the Commons. The SPEAKER, accompanied by all the Members present, then withdrew, and remained away for about a quarter of an hour, when he returned, and proceeded to read the Speech, standing at the table (for which see our report of the Lords.) The SPEAKER then bowed to the Members pre sent and withdrew. When any individual, or any party of men, are in the habit of selecting for their perusal a Newspaper, or other periodical work, which holds truth in utter contempt, and panders to the worst feelings of mankind, by the use of language which would be considered disgusting even in Billingsgate, we can have no hesitation in draw ing one of two inferences, either that they are dead to those feelings, the possession of which constitutes a gentleman,• or that the virulence of Faction induces them utterly to overlook means ; in their zeal to compass the ruin of their oppo. nents. Thus the character and refined . taste a the party at present opposed to his MAJESTY'S Government, and of a certain class of the Esta- blished Church, may be pretty accurately inferred from the following severe and witty paragraph which appeared on Saturday in a new Journal of theirs called the " Standard," and which will, no doubt, be perused with avidity by those persons whom that Journal classes amongst its readers. There is a journal which we sehlotn read, and never, save in the open air, ao extremely offensive is its odour. It is nevertheless the Court Journal, for the Courier has under. gone the uniform fate of traitors, in being thrown over board by the party to which it sold itself. The journal to which we allude is " THR SUN," which, as we have . said, may be traced by its physical unsavoriness, and which, upon a close acquaintance, will be found to reward but in adequately the desperate adventure of a perusal. It has, in fact, been described with literal fidelity more than a cen tury ago in the following lines, which we would humbly suggest as an epigraph : Thy formal nods, important sneers, Thy whisperings foisted in men's ears, They are, whatever you may think, BUT NONSENSE WRAPPED UP IN A STINK. This journal, all stinking and all stupid as it iv, is, how ever, the property of a Cabinet Minister (whose brother is, if we mistake not, its registered proprietor), and therefore entitled to some notice. On Wednesday the offensive pub lication (we would be understood to allude to its phyical offensiveness, for otherwise it is too contemptible to offend) inserted a list of Noblemen and Gentle men, as connected ,with this Journal, in the capacity of editors and contributors. This list is one which would indeed confer the highest honour upon the council of a Sovereign, and which it must seem presumptuous in a newspaper editor seriously to disclaim. Highly flattered too we should be, did any more respectable authority than " TtIE Sux" give us credit for reflecting, at the humblest distance, the opinions of the splendid circle in question.— Something is however due to truth ; and neither the fear of being charged with presumption on the one side, nor the influence of vanity on the ether, shall prevent our de claring, that with the individuals so impudently enume rated in the paragraph of " THE SUN," we are wholly unconnected. Will " THE SUN" say .as much of Mr. Charles Grant, or the Times of Mr. Huskisson. As we have ventured to look into " THE SUN," we would advise it not to repeat the practice of libelling private gentlemen who happen to be opposed to the politics of Mr. Canning. Public men are fair game ; but there is no excuse because there can be no legitimate motive for saying of a respec table clergyman mid most satiable man, that lie is 14 " eon " h Threses," &e. We suspect, that without extending very violently to* laws, some place within them could be found for calum nies like those.. We . have to apologise to our friends for hav ing polluted our pages with any thing so offen sive as the above 44 elegant extract," but we have given it for the purpose of holding up to shame, not the shameless creature who wrote it, but those persons who permit their families to have daily before their eyes the contamination of such revolting language. Their modest disclaimer of the Duke of RUTLAND for their Court Newsman, and of Sir T. LETHBRIDGE for a Flying Reporter, is really too good. Most people find little difficulty in discriminating between a • squib, and a gravely narrated fact—but it seems to puzzle the obtuse faculties of the Standard. As to the SUN being the property of any Cabinet Minister or other Member of the Admi nistration, we shall simply say that the assertion is an absolute falsehood.. Some men may have a particular standard of morality, but it does not suit all consciences to swear falsely to a Pro prietorship at the Stamp Office. The Standard seems highly offended at our strictures on the Rev. PETER LECH, whom it wishes to shelter as not being a public character ; but when a private individual brings himself before the public as a mob-orator, vilifying the head of his MAJESTY'S Government, we shall never hesitate to offer our comments on, such conduct with perfect freedom, even should the individual have been the most " respectable Clergyman," and most "amiable man" in the three to the hour of his making sucil a kingdoms n in u g n d c o h i r n i e sti up unchristian and unwarrantable speech. The French Papers of Friday and the Etaile dated Saturday have been received. The latter is confident about the measures adopted to chaktise the Algerines being successful, and it apprehends no detriment to. French trade from the depredations of the Corsairs, as the most part of their vessels is in port, and the cruizing ground. of the remainder is known. E‘traetti will be found in another column. Brussels papers of the 30th ult. have been re ceived. They promise much activity respecting naval operations in the North— even Sweden is to send ships to Greece:— BRUSSELS, JUNE 27. His Highness the Prince of Mecklenburg and suite, has arrived in this City from Paris. His Excellency the Governor of East Flanders has again visited the whole line of the new canal from Terneuzen to Ghent. It seems that his Excellency has given various in- structions, which will greatly contribute to accelerate the completion of the important works now carrying on. One of the gates of the fine sluice, erected to the west of Ter neuzen, was placed in his presence : it ie of extraordinary dimensions, and its weight is estimated at above 35,0001 be. We have just seen accounts from Batavia, of the 25th of February. Thee letters say that at that time the Com missioner General was still engaged in improving th e admi.. niqratiou of affairs in that Colony ; that he every day obtained new successes, and that the strength and numbers of the insurgents were much diminished. By the last accounts the Rhine at Arnheim and the Waal, at Nitnsguen, were still rising. The Meuse, at Grave, had been falling since the 24th. Letters from Stockholm repeat the news of a naval ar mament in Sweden to join the Russian squadron, bound to the Mediterranean. They add that Prince Oscar had re ceived a friendly invitation to pay a visit to St. Peters burgh during the summer. BRUSSELS, JUNE 28.—His Excellency the Minister of Russia at our Court, set out this morning for Italy. A British Cabinet. Messenger passed through this city yesterday with dispatches from London to St. Petersburgh, aitd a Russian Courier from St. Petersburgh, with dis littches for London. 1 The Earl and Countess of Warwick arrived here yester day from Calais, and Admiral Count Verhuel, Peer of Prance, and family, from Paris. According to a letter from St. Petersburgh, a report was in circulation there that orders had been transmitted to the naval authorities of Sebastopol to equip a strong divi sion of the Black Sea fleet, which is to go to the Ar chipelago. Juxs 29.—1 t is reported at Luxemburg, that Lieut. Lobetbal, the murderer of the unfortunate Veysset, has been condemned to death, and Lieut. Poppe to 15 years imprisonment in a fortress. It is said that the investigation which was to take place respecting the construction of the works at Mons was en tired into a few days ago, and that the works will remain in their present state till the arrival of his Majesty, who will examine them. Lisbon Papers to the 17th have been received. They are chiefly occupied with the late Change in the Ministry, which we noticed a fortnight ago. It now appears that the Minister appointed to conduct the Financial Department, CONDE DE LOMA, has refused to accept that office, and he has been succeeded by a much more effi cient person—SENHoß COELLO, who occupied the same post under the Cortes Regency. He ii described by all who know him, as a man of independent fortune, of respectable character, and of liberal pinciples. It is said he will make an 'able, a firm, and a severe Minister. His uncle was confessor to the late King. He him self was brought up to the profession of the law ; and had he been more careful about the acquire ment of wealth than the means of preserving cha racter, he might, under the late King, have been promoted to some of the most important offices of &ate. This gentleman has not yet entered into office, nor will he probably do so till the arrival of the Marquis of P_ ALMELLA, who was daily expected. The situation of Finance Minister, dues not present much captivation, in the present state of the kingdom, to the most ambitious aspirant for power, provided- he wishes to gain popularity at the same time. Dutch Papers to the Ist ult. have been re ceived this morning ; from which we make the following extracts : ST. VETRRSSUCU, JUNI 15. On the 9th of this month the Emperor went in a cutter, towed by a steam-boat, to Oranien-baum and Cronstadt. As soon as his Majesty arrived off the harbour, the cutter hoisted the Imperial flag, and his Majesty was welcomed by the guns of the forts, and the ships at anchor in the roads. ' The Emperor passed along the whole line, and inspected the Are, Hangoudd, and Emanuel ships of the line, in the Constantia frigate. On the 10th, his Majesty, accompanied by the Empress Alexandria, the Grand Duke Alexander, the Grand Duke Michael, and the ..Grewl Duchess Helen, again went to Croustade, and ' WRthtl ea ttirs i tai n t l l ig• A ttte trirtarfriglit i g awl several smaller vessels. His Afajesty's flag being hoisted on board the Russia frigate, was saluted by the discharge of 2,000 cannon of the largest size, from Cronstadt, Cronsch lot, and all the ports and ships of the line and frigates. When the salutes were over, and the smoke was dispersed, his Majesty went on board the Admiral's ship, the "he, and returned to Petershof. The awful beauty of this magnificent scene, says a Petersburgh Journal, awakened interesting recolleetions of Peter the Great, at the head of the united fleets of England, Denmark, and Russia, the burning of the Turkish fleet in the Bay of Tel:mune, the victories of Tschitschagnw in the Baltic, of Uscba Row and Ribas on the Euxine, the exploits of Seneaven, in the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, an►l the Archipelago. Such recollections are combined with brilliant hopes, which draw the eyes of the world to the future. STOCKHOLM, PINE 19, Yesterday, at noon, her Royal Highness the Crown Princess was safely delivered of a Prince, at Raga, who has received the names of Francis Gustavus Oscar, and the title of Duke of Upland. A salute of 128 guns an noun►ed this happy event to the inhabitants of the capital. The Princess and the infant Prince are well. The King has requested the Emperor and Empress of Austria to he sponsor.. VIENNA, JUNE 20 News from Constantinople has been received here, by way of Bucharest, according to which, there had been an action off Mytelene, between the Turkish and Russian Fleets. It continued two days, and the Turks suffered very severely. _ _ irrociatoLm, nrxx 15 News have been received here, that 17,000 troops are to be embarked in the Russian fleet fitting out at Cronstadt for the Archipelago. FRANNORT, JUNK 26. Letters from Trieste say, that some Austrian men of war are fitting out there to reinforce the squadron in the Levant. Letters front Zante arrived at Trieste say, that the Acropolis still held out, though Fabvier was seriously ill, in consequence of the wound in his head. The posi tion of General Church was so formidable to the Seraskier, that he did not venture to leave his entrenchments. By the German papers received yesterday, it appears that instead of the Greek steam frigate the Perseverance, being captured by the Turks, she was actively employed herself with some other ships in the Gulf of Volo, capturing an 4 destroying several Turkish vessels. Captain HASTINGS, who commanded the squadron, speaks in high and well deserved terms of the conduct of his gallant compeers in this affair. The Limerick Chronicle of the 27th of June announces the death of H. H. HUNT, Esq., the Mayor of Waterford, of fever. The mortality of the Civil Officers is truly deplorable in that City, for within the last fourteen months the grave closed on Alderman SNow, late Mayor ; Alderman BRISCOE, Mayor elect; Alderman SARGENT, Deputy Mayor; and now Alderman HUNT, whose death is very much regretted in Waterford and its neighbourhood. Gibraltar Chronicles of the 11th ult. are re ceived : their contents are unimportant. His Majesty's packet Francis Freeling, Captain CUNNINGHAM, sailed on the 10th from Malta and that port for Falmouth. These papers con tain, under the head of Garrison Orders from the Town Major's Office, a communication that the Lieut.-Governor had received advice from the officer in command at Algeciras of a Spanish soldier, when on duty at th e vill age of El Cam pamento, having been rode over and killed by an officer in the garrison ; and gives orders an directions that more caution may be observed i future, when they visit the neighbouring town and villages. The Duke of ARGYLE is to be the Keepe of the Great Seal of Scotland, in the room of the Duke c GoancN, deceased. Mr. CALcaarr is confidently spoke; of as Paymaster of the Forces.— Time,. That part relatin, to the Duke of AROTLL is correct, of the other we knot nothing. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, Twelre o' Clock.

This happy state of things has spread its invigoratiii influence over all Scotland,—from the Borders to John i O'Groats; and as regards this Northern division of th i; Island, we cannot support the accounts just given from th south, better than by quoting the transactions at the Great. Annual Wool and Sheep Market of Scotland, held in this town last week. On this occasion, we have the best grounds fur knowing that about 120,000 stones of wool, and 150,000 sheep were disposed of, on terms generally agreeable to all parties. The prices on an average were from 15 to 20 per cent. higher than those of last year ; and more than 50 per cent. better than could have been justly expected, considering the state of the country at the close of last year, and at the commencement of the present one. This Market, taken by itself as being strictly confined to the staple commodities of the Highlands of Scotland, i. e. sheep and wool, is, next to the Leipzic Fair, the greatest in Europe that ever we have heard of; and accordingly, al its transactions are watched with intense interest in the commercial world. Although the prices this year wen lower than had been given in the speculative year of 1525; yet for wool they were as good—rather a shade better-4 than were obtained in the more prosperous years of 18U 1823, 1824, or 1826. The improvement iu the price o sheep this year, compared with the last five. years (alway excepting 1845) is infinite) snore; 'l"u' ti.ts w hay . sasiataenon of the buyers , that the s h eet Pi in e Highlands are at present in high condition; the , afford an excellent clip of wool ; and from their strengtl and excellent herding, the losses among them, during tb severe storms of last winter, have proved very inconsiderable In closing this agreeable notice of returning prospern throughout the country, we ought not to omit saying the every where in the North the crops promise to be abundan and of excellent quality.—lnverness Courier. The weather, for the last eight days, has been uncom monly cheering for the farmer. We have had severe heavy showers since Monday, which have done much t refresh the fields, and give an increased impulse to vegeta tion. We have never known the farmers to be more gene rally agreed as to the fair prospects that their labours wi be abundantly rewarded. Although the crops must be, o the whole, considerably later than last season, yet it is es pected to be fully an average in this respect, and we has already heard of operations that must strengthen th opinion. On Monday the 18th instant, hay harvest con menced at Cardross, and the crop proved to be excelleni At Artbrey Wells a field of clover grass has been mac into hay, and the ground ploughed down, and sown wit turnip seed in the best order, thus affording the active all intelligent occupier of the land the advantage of two ens] in one year. Strawberries and early potatoes have al been produced in the same quarter ; and we learn fro Denny, that ripe cherries were pulled in the garden of D Leieeman, so far back as the 11th inst.—Stirling Jourst The Duchess of CLARENCE, accompanied the Princess CARLOTH, left her residence in the Admirals on Saturday afternoon, at four o'clock, in her carriage ai four, for her seat in Bushy Park. The Duke of CLARENCE left the Admiral about an hour after attending the King's Court, in his es riage and four, for Busby. The principal persons of thi Royal Highnesses' household alto left town in the course the afternoon, for Bushy, in two carriages and four. The Marquis of A NaLESE A visited Mr.CAJ sixo yesterday. HOUSE LAUNCHING.—The launching the two brick houses in Garden.street was completely si cessful, they were moved nearly ten feet, occupied at time by their tenants, without having sustained any injtir the preparations were the work of some time, the t , buildings having been put upon ways, or into a cradle, w easily screwed op a new foundation. The inventor of t simple and cheap mode of moving tenanted brick buildit is entitled to the thanks of the public. In the course time it is likely that houses will be put up upon w at brick or stone quarries, and sold sea ships arru to delivered in any p a rt of du i City. —4lltiserfeate Pir'peK ' A gentleman's place, in the parish of Fal known in this county for his art in destroying this l s b r (i.i noxious tai ani mals B t o t' e ig first ival s ' n'e u :grv e m h elo a: a nt e supposed amongstlyelnUponielu strange , to c hwto belong and onhinetcf: 81 with"ititeilrei a toe n n u nco uth w t e rats, w ihaleesm v : wg i appearance,deltsshhi species, oc o 7°i r B:v I ne w os ; ; bearing nnitiy,ieof h f means rats.et h a s e i insigniat A f ter looked someo f ahighsif investigation, authority tvras4ea rl among ch oo: the ie:etrw e o , om i t: seen l ik smea that i t s o f ourunco m monmodern g h t Id a shape la dandies waist that it looked quite : ednitecies p7 i i t b b l n e ad a e r s o u pu ch il i a til ye b r e y lly: u account for now wa s, thread being tied as ti Pe arose from a piece of Pa bourhood, that rats are faith tight corset ; and on the eircuur,tarce bein g ri r nti°r o m ff ore itu a ta b s le ter to , attend ed the following more rats about fact was ertaived*--A weaver in Le being much tormented with then obnoxious animals, 1 placing implicit belief in an adage current in that nei letter addressed to a ny pew nis tied to one, it will ma the whole of its tribe ae a fol. letter carriers, and that escort,—h e wrote thus to a friend ; 7 —" Ail find I have sent the bearer to you with this letter, and trust I me at present than I can provide fe he will be followed' by all his companions, as you are m like such neigbbnurs' you can forward them to sum s ippurt them than I am ;_ and if you do y our amus inouwes, in the same way as 1 have dons you. ), - his epistle he tied round a live rat in the It e nd o f March last, and gave him his liberty that lie m pursue his journey, which it must have done soon s f or , as above-mentioned, it was taken fully two miles 1 Leslie; so that it must have travelled in about two In° more than two miles, even supposing it took the mos that although the letter did not reach its destination the humorous device resorted to br the Le a l i e weaver, the e ff ect, as the whole rate almost Immediately disappe f rom hi s premises. sa d he' has never been troubl e d rest road betwixt the two places.—Our correspondent z how by could it jet enoinalyeddiffirnesuelte: t h em e u see ,,,...Fife Herald.
