THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. YORK, SEPT. 18.—It has already been an nounced that his Grace the Duke of WEL LnioToN is expected to, arrive at " Grim Ston e. Hall, the seat of Lord HOWDEN, on Saturday next, where he will remain during Sunday ; and on Monday will pass through this city on his way to Wynyard, the seat of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. This information has. been communicated by Lord HOWDEN to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of this' . city ; and, yester day, a full house of the Corporation waslield, for the purpose of voting the freedom of this an cient city to his Grace the Duke of WEL= LINGTON, when the following Resolution was passed • " That the Freedom of this City be presented to his Grace ARTHUR Duke of WELLINGTON, as a testimony of the grateful sense this Corporation entertains of the glori ous and Important services he has rendered to his country during the course of his illustrious professional life; and that the same be presented to his Grace in a gold box, of the value of fifty guineas." At the same Meeting, it was also resolved, " That the Sheriffs should proceed to Grimstone Hall, the seat of. Lord HownEN, to communicate the above Re solution, and to ascertain at what time and place it would be convenient for the Duke of Wellington to receive this mark of respect from the Corporate Body." The LORD MAYOR will present the freedom, accompanied by :the Recorder, City Council, Aldermen, and others of. the Corporation. A Committee has been appointed to see the above resolutions carried into effect. There is a rumour of a Requisition footle LORD MAYoi.to call a Public Meeting on the subject of the Duke's visit to this city ; but whether this evil take place or not is uncertain.—York courant: INSANITY. . Dr. Knight, in his Observations on Insanity , mentions the circular swing as a physical agent possessing immense powet. He says=" I have found tilt circular swing extremely beneficial in obstin aticonstipation, and in dyspeptic complaints accompanied with much acid. Mary Sandiford, a very fine young woman; said to me, on the 20th September, 1813, Putting me in the .cir cular swing did me more good than any thing e lse ; it threw all the sour stuff off my stomach.' Shortly after this she recovered, and was dis charged well. When patients are . very unruly, and at the same time afflicted with either of these ailments, it never fails to be physically and mo rally beneficial. Apprehensions have been ex pressed lest the use of the circular swing should induce apoplexy : having attentively examined the sources of these fears, I conclude them to he perfectly groundless ; nor have I ever seen the slightest reason to apprehend such a result, nor do I believe it ever can occur, if the patient be not in a furious state when put into the swing; but, if he be, the excitement of the mind will counteract the effect of the swing, wonderfully powerful as it is. The act of turning him will exasperate him still more if possible ; he will struggle violently, and neither stomach nor .bowels be affected, at least for several minutes, if at all ; and the visible blood-vesseli of the fade and neck have become exceedingly turgid by the pa roxysm of fury and exertion ; but, even in this case, it is more than probable that arterial ac tion is checked. When giddiness is felt, the stomach is speedily affected, and . the pulse is lowered both in frequency and strength, a process not likely to terminate in sanguineous apoplexy, the only species to be apprehended. With this exception, or precaution,. I consider the circular swing perfectly safe. It is a machine that should be easily accessible in every asylum for lunatics, but never used except under the direction of an experienced physican. I consider the best time for its u sse is a little before retiring to rest for the night, as the unloading of the alimentary canal, the lowering of the pulse, and the relaxation of the skin, very generally predispose to sound and refreshing sleep. In concluding my report re lative to this machine, I shall take the. oppor tunity to declare my conviction that it might be made extremely useful in general practice, espe cially in some inflammatory affections of the vis . cera of the abdomen, and probably in the com-: ,raencement of some fevers. I refrain from trot]; ',ling my medical reader with my reasons. for this conclusion, as I apprehend he will readily recog nise them in the facts and opinions'recorded in the preceding pages."

SEPTEMBER 20, 1827. , We have given in . another column a full Report of the Quarterly Meeting of Bank Proprietors held this day ; but from the press of other matters and the lateness of the hour, we must postpone till to-morrow some observations which the pro ceedings seem to call for. An Express has •arrived this morning from Paris, with the Gazette de France of Tuesday. Our copy of that paper has not yet reached us, but we understand that it mentions that Mr. LAMB had taken leave of the King of SPAIN, for the purpose of proceeding to this country, on, as it is supposed, his private affairs. The negociations between Spain and Portugal are said to have terminated. The Five per Cents. closed on Monday al .01f. 65c., and the Three per Cents. at 72f. 40c. ANOTHER EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Gazette de France of Ye3terday.) MOLDAVIA YASSY, SEPT. 6. Letters from the interior of Russia, announce that several divisions cantOued on the border of the Dnieper have received oiders to march to the South Of the Empire, to reinforce the Persian army. • Five per Cents. 101 f. 50c. ; 3 per Cents. '72 : it ap pears that the 3 per Cent. Rentes, have fallen from 72f. 40c. to 72. There is no news in the Gazette de France. The Allgemeine Zeitung and Frankfort papers of "the: 13th inst. have reached us this forenoon, from which we make the following extracts.—lt will be observed that the intelligence from Con stantinople comes down to the 22d ult. up to which time the Porte had not manifested any disposition to accept the Ultimatum of the Allied Powers : CONSTANTINOPI.r, AUG. 22. The Porte appears resolved to let things come to the last extremity. Orders have been given for very great military preparations and armaments. The Egyptian fleet of 100 sail put to sea, according to the most recent accounts, on the 31st of July. It was probably on account of this ex pedition that the Ministers of the three Powers reduced the time for the acceptance of the Ultimatum to 15 days : yet it may probably reach the coast of the Morea before the intervention can take place. FROM THE MAINE, SEPT. 7. The visit of his Majesty the King of Bavaria to Weimar, and the manner in which his Majesty agreeably sur prised the Illustrious Poet Goethe on his birth-day, and presented him with the Grand Cross of the Order .of the Bavarian' Crown, has given great pleasure in all the north of Germany, where Goethe enjoys the highest esteem, and has, if possible, increased the respect felt for the monarch who thus rewards an honours art and science. We learn also, that the King on his last birth day, instituted a new Order, the title of Bavarian Order of Louis, for persons.who have served the State for 50 years in a civil, military, or ecclesiastical capacity. In the case of the military every year's campaign in which they have been actually present is to be accounted for two. The - badge of the order is a gold cross, covered with the Royal crown, with the King's bust in white enamel and his Majesty's cypher. On the• reverse is an oaken wreath in - green enamel. The members of the Order of a lower clasS receive a gold medal. The medal and cross are to be worn at the button-hole, suspended by a crimson sibbou with sky blue edge-. .12'ENNA, SEPT. 6. Their Majesties the Emperor anti Empress, left Persen— bergh on the 4th of this inonth, anti went to Lubereck, from which place they will rettien to Vienna, about the sth or 20th of September. Her Majesty, the Archtitnthess Maria Louisa, will not come to Vienna this year. Her son, the Duke of Reichstadt, is at Sclionhrunn, and does not go to join their Majesties, as the Court will so soon re turn to their capital. 11AYENCE, SEPT. 12 The Concordia steam-boat, which left this city yes terday, run aground near Bingen, in .consequence of the shallowness of the water ins the river ; the shack was so violent, that every thing moveable on board Was overthrown, and the greater part of such articles as were liable to break were destroyed. The vessel became so leaky that it was obliged to stop at Caub, and it is pro bable that a considerable time will elapse before it can be repaired. There is reason to fear that the repeated acci dents and inconveniences which travellers are subjected to by them, may injure the credit of an establishment, which sometimes affords a more speedy couyeyance, but cannot always be depended upon. BERLIN, SEPT. Generals Von Borstel, Hake, Jagow, Lehndorf, Pfuel, and Dolma, have arrived here, to be present at the Autumn reviews, M. de Billow, Privy Counsellor, and latiChief President of the Prince of Saxony, died at Potsdam, on the 4th instant, in the 66th year of his age. He was born at Essenrode, in Hanover, and filled several high offices in the department of Justice. In 1815 he entered the service of Prussia, and was employed in many very important offices. But in 1621 he had an apoplecti c fi t , w hich obliged him to withdraw from all public business. We have inserted in our Taper of to-day ail explanatory letter from Sir G RtGOR Dd'GREGoR , in which he altogether denies the truth of the statement made before Sir RICHARD BIRNIE by CATHARINE MAHON'. If this statement be really false we can only say that it is the most extraordinary and gratuitous piece of perjury and impudence on record. A woman whom Sir GREGOR (according to his own account) has never heard of, steps voluntarily forward with a story of distress trumped 'up for the sole purpose, it should seem, of injuring him —an avowed stranger,—and preventing his bail coming forward :—which same story nevertheless bears such ••strict appearances of truth—is in such admirable keeping from the first to the last sentence, and accords so beauti-- fully with the newspaper accounts of Sir GREGoles South American achievements, that none but the most experienced and accomplished slanderer could have possibly invented it. The Cacique, however, stoutly insists on its falsity ; and as we have no reason to doubt his word, we can only say that its authoress is among the most gifted and imaginative of modern minds, and 'that her forgery may vie in impudence with LAUDER's, and in dexterity with 'CHATTER- TON'S. PARIS, SEPT. 17.—'-The Macabee, from Marseilles, captured the 3d inst. off Almeria, by a small Algerine corsair, was retaken on the 4th, by the Cuirassier vessel of war, and carried into Toulon. The Louisa, Anger, which sailed from Nantz on the 24th of May, had not arrived at Port-au-Prince on the 28th July. Letters from Madrid of Sept. Bth, state, dispatches arrived from Barcelona, to the Minister of War yesterday afternoon, announce that a great part of the In surgents are marching on to Lerida and Tortosa, and it is much feared these places will fall into their hands if the King's troops do not arrive iu time. Accounts received this morning from Con stantinople, of 10t1► August, state that Negib Effendi, agent to the Pacha of Egypt, laid before the Grand Seignor a letter from the Viceroy of Egypt, in which he states he has received information from Captain Hamilton, that the fleets of the three European Powers are coming to the Archipelago to establish the independence of Greece ; and the dangerous situation of his son Ibrahim and his army, caused by this measure, will prevent their receiving any succours from Egypt ; in consequence of which the Pacha of Egypt humbly submits to his Master, his Imperial Ma jesty, the necessity of a mediation before the said fleets arrive in this Archipelago. The Grand Seignior, irritated by this bold step of Ali Pacha, immediately ordered Negib Effendi to be exiled to the coast of Asia. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TIVELFB o' CLook. The only Foreign Mails which have arrived this morning are French and Hamburgh ; by them we have not received any intelligence of peculiar inte rest. The non-arrival of the daily journals from Paris last evening produced some surprise, but it has been attributed to the weather. The Gazette de France of Tuesday morning, which has been re ceived to-day; quotes the prices of the French Rentes, 3 per Cent., 72f. 40c. for money; and 72f. 70c. for the end , of the month ; this is an improvenient, and as the intelligence from Constantinople would reach Paris sooner .than our own capital, the news from thence is not anticipated to be of so gloomy a nature as was apprehended. The attention of some of the jobbers and speculators in the Money Market has been drawn to the present deplorable state of Spain; and although die intelligence from that kingdom is described as of the worst description, still it has not produced many fears amongst the operators in our Money Market; any alteration in the state of that unhappy country they consider must be beneficial, ' whether produced by internal commotion or other wise; the general feeling with regard to the sincerity of France towards this country is so. strong, that not any apprehensions are entertained that she will, in any clandestine manner, offer assistance to Spain, 'which can at all militate .against the interest or wishes of Great Britain. The news, .therefore, though of a gloomy cast, does not appear to affect our Funds. Consols for the Aecount opened this morning at 87, advanced •to $7l. buyers, and are now 87 Exchequerßills, 61 pm.; India Bonds, 94. prn. In the Foreign House there is not much doing.

BANK QUARTERLY MEETING. (THIS DAY.) A meeting of the Proprietors of the Bank was held this day. As soon as Mr. RICHARDS, the Deptlty-Go velmor, had taken the Chair, the proceedings of t he last Meeting were read over. It was then moved, that a dividend of 4 per cent. of interests and pro fits should be declared . for the half year ending 10th of October next. 'On the motion being put from the Chair, Mr. YOUNG, a proprietor, enquired what the amount of the Bank issues was. Mr. RICHARDS replied that the amount varied in a slight degree only from what had been in circula-, tion when the last meeting was held: There might be a difference of from 400,000/. to 500,000/.; but taking into consideration the circumstances of the country, and the nature of the transactions in which the Bank was engaged, such a sum must be looked on as a trifle. Mr. YOUNG wished to know the amount of the issues made by the Branch Banks, and whether they were included in the general amount of issues. Mr. RICHARDS said, that as an individual, he would have no objection whatever to state the exact amount put into circulation •by the Branch Banks, but he felt that motives of propriety might to re strain him from makinea public declaration; he would therefore put it to the Hon. Members, whether he ought to press that part of the question. With re spect to the other part, he was enabled to inform him that the issues made by the Branch Banks were included in the general amount. Mr. YOUNG left it entirely to the discretion of the Depnty-Governor, whether he should give a distinct answer as to the amount of Branch Bank issues; he, however, was desirous of ascertaining whether the issues made by the Bank on deposits were also included in the general amount. Mr. RICHARDS-replied in the negative. Mr. YOUNG thought -they should be regarded exactly in the same light as the other issues. The Bank was at all times liable for them, and might be called on to meet them in the same manner as if they had been made in any other form. • Mr.,lticitsitbs differed from the honourable Pro prietor. The Bank held such ample security for these issues, as not to be placed in the slightest jeopardy with respect to them- Under these cir cumstances, it was not deemed necessary to include them in the statement-of . the issues which had been laid before the Court of Proprietors. Mr. YOUNG was of opinion that these issues ought to have been taken into account. The amount of issues made in the ordinary way, appeared to be about 22,000,000. If then, the issues on de posits be taken at 5,000,000 more, the total amount issued by the Bank would be 27,000,000. This was an important fact, and one to which he bespoke the attention of the Court. Mr. RICHARDS assured the Hon. Proprietor, that he took a very exaggerated view of the subject, and seemed to entertain apprehensions for which there was not even a probable foundation. Mr. YOUNG said, that at all events it was clear, that the Bank had now in circulation froM 21 to 22 millions, exclusive of the issues on deposits. Every one must feel that the amount of issues ought to form a criterion for judging what should be - the amount .of the dividend. Mr. Young then argued at considerable length on the redundancy of paper money. He considered that the amount far exceeded . the legitimate wants of the country, and that this glutting of the country with the Bank issue tended to produce the most alarming circumstances. It increased the manufac ture of the country beyond the consumption • it brought into industry a large population, which a stagnation' of business afterwards threw out of employment : in short, it placed, the nation in a perfeetly artificial condition. Money was not now bringing. more than half its; usual return; formerly, capital could be employed at 5 per cent., - , but it was impossible to employ it now for more than two and a-half. This showed a-great re dundancy of the Bank issue, and might have the most dangerous effect. It was enough to alarm every considerate man, and to induce the Court of Directors to lessen their circulation. He contended that this Company ought not to go into competition with other Companies. The Court of Directors were placed in a very important station. They. could issue money. at will, and for them to i go into com petition with other companies would produce most injurious effects. The Court of Directors had made a very large alteration in the management of their business by the establishment of Branch Banks.— The Directors had not consulted the Pro prietors upon this important step, though they had deemed it necessary to ask for an Act of Parliament. If the system was to he carried on, on the principle on which it seemed to be established, it would ultimately turn out to be a system productive of some enormous evils. The Bank itself would be injured by a rise in the price of the Public Funds, and the Directors would at length, if they proceeded agreeably to the spirit of a letter that had appeared in public, and which had never been properly contradicted, become the only issuers of paper. This would indeed be a very large alteration in their management, and one which at least ought to have been submitted to the Pro prietors before the Court had undertaken it. Upon looking at the Act of Parliament, it appeared to the Hon. Proprietor to have been the meaning of the Legislature that the Branch Bank should not have been established without the approbation both of Parliament and the Proprietors at large. On this ac count he could not but entertain very great doubts upon the legality of the steps the Directors had taken, and he should feel greatly obliged to know whether the legal advisers of the Bank would stand forward and pledge their reputation that the Act authorized the establishment of these Branch Banks, without the sanction of the Proprietors. The GOVERNOR could not boast of any legal knowledge, but hoped he might lay claim to a little common understanding, otherwise he would not have been placed in the honourable situation he held. Ile believed the establishment of the Branch Banks would never have been thought of had it not heen'considered perfectly consistent with the legal power and duty of the Court of Directors to the Proprietors ; but to "make assurance doubly sure" they had got an Act of Parliament vesting in them ample power to do all they had done. With respect to the history of the Branch Banks, it would take up too much time for him now to go over all the circumstances. It was sufficient to state, that he had at large stated his views upon the subject twelve months ago, to which the Court was pleased to lis ten, as. well as to accede to many of his senti ments. With respect to the state of the circu lation it would be the happiest circumstance that could transpire, could the Court arrive at the power of pleasing all parties :. one set of gentlemen, highly respectable, said th 6 circulation was too great — another, equally' respectable, contended it was t o o little; now, among those feelings, the Court could into s e . only feel the pulse of the public' the best Nay they could, and act upon the best of their un er standing. As for the Court forcing any issue of dv the Bank upon the public, or taking any measures for that purpose, he did, on behalf of him self and die Court, flatly deny all such intention. The Hon. Proprietor had glanced at 'a subject whic h he (the Governor) had thought, from the honest contradic tion given in another place, would have b een re ceived with perfect confid en ce, and that subject to state e ie received i v the e( every l most been set at rest. A p a p er had got into circulation, orrather, ,he would say, a limited circulation , and from which abuse. , Court No7: it and was th his e Bank had duty unequivo ca l terms , that that paper was put circulation, this without the knowledge or concur rencew of the Court of Directors. tyboetipg7sdenidt not accuse him although he having. ie( G r. YOUNG acknowledged that the Honourable Governor had acted with his usual liberality on the letter alluded to , lm h • o f f elt -s ay that he go s . , e d yet e boun d . to _y nla re there was disposition on the written iNi r. Y e. ~► part of the uourt to act on the spirit of that letter; more especially as the Proprietors had not been in formed to what extent the issue of the Branch Banks had been, or was meant to be, extended. The GOVERNOR begged leave to state again that' that paper was no more the act of the Court, than of Mr. Young himself. Mr. YOUNG said, that that statement might sa tisfy the mind of the Hon. Governor, but that it did not satisfy his. The GOVERNOR spoke in the name of the Corpo rate Body of the Directors of the Bank of Eng land. Mr. YOUNG then supposed he was not to receive any information from the Directors, as to the legal construction of the Act of Parliament. Mr. Sergeant BosANQUET then came forward and said, he conceived the Act of Parliament gave au- thority to the Directors to make such regulations as they should think fit, and to act upon those regula tions until by' the direction of the Proprietors they should be annulled. The original charter gave the Proprietors this power : the recent Act of Parliament echoed that authority, and no directions having been given by the Proprietors contrary to the regulation made by the Directors for the esta blishment of the Branch Banks, he considered the Directors had in no way exceeded their power. Mr. YOUNG contended that, upon the 15th sec. cap. 46, the Proprietors were not to be at liberty to make any such alteration in their management as they had done,without the previous sanction of the Propri etors. Since the proposal had been made by the Directors to establish the Branch Banks, there had been two General Meetings of the Proprietors, at which not a syllable respecting the Branch Banks had been submitted to them by the Directors. He, therefore, submitted that the Directors had exceeded their legal powers, and that , besides they had not acted with that fairness and candour which, as men of business, was to be expected from them, towards the Pro prietors, in entering on an undertaking in which not only the Proprietors, but the public at large, as well the highest as the lowest, were most materially interested. . Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET considered himself only called upon to answer any legal questions. He could on no account admit that the Directors had exceeded their power. The proprietors at large had the power of controuling the 'acts of the Directors when they thought proper; but until they did that it was only the duty of the Pro prietors to act on their own regulations. The great proportion of the business of the Bank was done in precisely the same manner as this Branch Bank concern had been conductedAesides two meetings of the Proprietors had taken place, at which they had expressed no disapprobation of the known intentions of the Directors in this respect. The GOVERNOR then said,,it was consistent with this' view that he felt the Directors had neither ex ceeded their power in law , nor forgotten the re spect due from them to the Proprietors. A Proprietor said, if Mr. Young chose to make any motion on the subject of the Branch Bank, he would second it ; no, motion however of this kind having been proposed, The GOVERNOR put the original motion, which was carried unanimously. After a few words from General Sir JOHN DOYLE, which were not distinctly heard, it was announced that the dividend warrant wild be ready for deli very on the 11th of October. - The Court then adjourned.

Penny, aged 21, stood capitally indicted for returning from trans portation, and being at large in this kingdom. At the October Sessions, 1820, a person named Wm. Penny was tried for felony, convict ed, and sentenced to be transported for life. The prisoner, Win. Buckley, was now alleged to be the same person, which he denied. Charles Read, officer• belonging to Union-hall, apprehended Penny, and was an important wit ness on that occasion ; he now swore positively to Buckley being the same person ; he knew him perfectly well, and had not the slightest doubt of his identity. The prisoner denied the charge, and called several witnesses, who, however, had not known him in England for a longer period than three months ; during that time they gave him a good character. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN did not see how the Jury could hesitate to find the prisoner guilty. Verdict—Guilty.

She there saw the prisoner dressed in her master's boots, great coat, and various other ar ticles. She said, "you rascal, what are you doing with my master's clothes on." He et . - teinpted to run off; she took hold of liim ; the coat came off, and he got down stairs and out.— Witness ran out afterwards, cried "stop thief," and he was soon apprehended.
