The stoppage of the Bath and Bristol Banks of Messrs. CAVANAGH and Co.,_ with Other rumoured pauses in the West, threw a damp on the Market, notwithstanding the strenuous exertions of the Bulls. A pressing Money sale of Consols at 701, by permission of the Bank, also conduced to repress their ardour. Money has been easy in the .house—the count on Exchequer Bills was at one period only 20.

From the concurrent statements of Bankers, the demand for gold appears to have subsided. To-day, sovereigns have been sent into the Bank for notes, by three houses. It is estimated by those who direct their attention to commer cial Finance, that the increased demand for money during the last few weeks, has been not less than eight millions sterling. Of this amount, tl►e Bank of England is computed to have supplied, in notes and specie, five millions—the commercial part of the community has been left to struggle with the remaining three millions. The Bank having contributed to aid the Pub lic in the hour of emergency, will naturally direct its attention to the gradual diminution of the excess of paper thus thrown into circulation. From this principle it were impossible to depart, however great may be the commercial embar rassment consequent on the contraction of Bank paper. To maintain the circulation of a Gold currency, would be altogether impracticable with au increased issue of Bank paper. We have received a tile of tl►e ..lastralian from Sydney to the 23d of June inclusive, from which the following ar.• extracts : SYDNEY, JUNE 23, 1825.—8 y the latest arrivals from the Dcrwent, we learn that the projected change with respect to Cie principal township of that Colony is more likely than ever to be carried into effect. We are not at all at a loss to account for the unpopularity of the Government of Van Dieman's Land, when every public act which is adopted is calculated more or less to compromise the interests of one body of men or other, or of the whole Colony. ,The inhabitants are kept in a state of constant agitation and anxiety. No sooner does one cause of discontent begin to subside, than another starts up, occupies the place of the former, and 'is itself only forgotten for a time, because it is again succeeded by some more pressing and more lasting evil. As if retailing out obnoxious measures were not sufficiently harassing, a wholesale mischief is eagerly perse vered in, and the promising prosperity of one-fourth of the population threatened to be counteracted and overturned. If we may judge from the earnestness of the Hobail Toren Gazette, every exertion is in progress, tbr transferring " Head Quar ters" from Hobart Town to the Bush, and rendering Brighton the capital. On the arrival of Dr. Douglass in the Colony an examination is to take place into certain transactions which cccurred some time ago in the Colony, and created man)' misunderstandings. Ten points or ten questions are to undergo consideration. Thi s is done at the instance of Lord Bathurst. The referees on the occasion are The Governor, The Chief Justice, The Archdea con, and The Colonial Secretary. On the result of this busi ness will probably hinge the tenability of the office of Secretary to the Colonial Council. The enormous rate of port charges, in the shape of " pilot age and harbour dues," demanded on colonial vessels, is most severely felt by the owners of these vessels. The charges on it vessel which lately performed a voyage hence to Port Mac quarie, and touched at Newcastle on her way back, amounted to only 211..195. 3d. The native blacks beyond Bathurst are still practising those acts of barbarity, of which we have had some instances. In the early part of last week, a man of the name of Jones, an over seer to Mr. Lawson, at Sludgan settlement, was inhumanly butchered by the blacks. An excellent flour mill, which is worked by water, is just completed by one of our oldest and most enterprising colonists, Mr. Simeon Lord. The mill is erected on his estate at Mud Bank, Botany Bay, a distance of about six miles from town. Another flour mill is in a state of forwardness at Macquarie field, the estate of Mr. James Meehan. A wind-mill is shortly about to he erected on the Southhead road, within a short distance of Sydney, by Mr. Thomas Hyndes, an industrious and respectable inhabitant of long standing in this colony. The great demand which at present exists for these indis pensable buildings, strongly indicates the rapid entension of our population. The Russian Consul General Von FRETGARIC, and Mr. SPECK, banker, and one of the greatest wool-merchants in Germany, have returned from Russia to Leipsig, the latter having been to Russia to give his opinion and advice on the means of improving the breed of sheep, and pro ducing liner wool. The improved breed of sheep multiplies in an incredible manner in Russia since the corn has fallen in value, in such an extraor dinary degree for want of a market, so that it can be only sold at Constantinople. There are un pleasant indicationsof a great decline in the prices of Merino wool! THE KING'S COURT. YettPrdny his M AJESTY hold a Court anti Coun. el at hit Palace in Pall-mall. His Majesty arrived in town from Windsor in his travelling carriage and four, escorted by out-riders a few ininu't - s after one, and about two o'clock the members who were to attend the Court and Council began to assemble ; they consisted of his Royal Highness the Duke of York ; the Earl of Liverpool, First Lord of the Treasury ; Mr. Robinson, Chancellor of the Exchequer ; Mr. Peel, Home Secretary.; the Lord Chancellor; the Earl of Harrowhy, Pre sident of the Council ; Viscount Melville, First Lord of the Admiralty ; Mr. Wynn, President of the Board of Control : Mr. Huskisson, President of the Board of Trade; Mr. Canning, Foreign Secretary ; the Duke of Wellington ; the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King' s B enc h ; 'the Duke of Dorset, Master of the Horse; the Recorder of the city of London ; Prince Esterhazy; Mr. Beckett, the Judge Advocate; Mar quis Graham, Lord Bexley, Mr. Greville.

His Majesty signed a Proclamation for the meeting of Parliament for the dispatch of business. on Thursday the 2d of Feb. next. After the Recorder's Report had been taken into consideration, his Majesty gave audience to Prince Esterhazy, who attended the Court to take leave of his Majesty, precious to his retiring from his embassy in this country, and taking upon him that to the Court of France, to which be has been re cently appointed. The Prince was introduced to his Majesty by Mr. Secretary Canning, and conducted by Sir Robert Ches ter, the Master of the Ceremonies. His Majesty also gave au diences to die Duke of Wellington, the Lord Chancellor, and to Mr. Beckett, the .Judge Advecate. His Majesty appeared in the best health and spirits. The Court did not break up until atiier a o'clock. At ti o'clock his Majesty again entered his travelling carriage, and set otT on his return to Windsor. ord Delawarr was the Lord in waiting ; Colonel King, one of his Majesty's Grooms of the Bedchamber, was the Groom in waiting. Mr. Messenger was the principal Page in waiting. ANOTHER ACCOUNT.—(COURT CIRCULAR.) THE KING'S Cower.—Yesterday, et ten minutes past one o'clock, his MAJESTY arrived at his Palace in Pall-mall, from his Royal Lodge in Windsor Park, in his travelling carriage and four, with outriders. His Majesty was received at the grand entrance of the palace by Gen. Bayly, his Equerry in waiting. Soon after the arrival of the King, his Royal Brother. the Duke of York, wax admitted to an interview with his Majesty.— Afterwards the King held a Court, which was attended by the Austrian Ambassador, the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Presi dent of the Council, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, the Secretary of State for the Foreign Depart ment, the President of the Board of Trade, the Chancellor of the Duchy mf Lancaster, the Master-General of the Ordnance, the President of the Board of Covtroul. the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Master-General of the Horse, the Vice-Cham berlain, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, the Judge Advocate, the Master of the Ceremonies, the Re corder of London.—The King hell a Privy Council, at which Mr. Greville attended as clerk. The Council proceeded to take into consideration the meeting of Parliament for the dispatch of business, for which the Council was specially summoned, when it was agreed, that the Parliament should be further prorogued from the nth day of January next, to Thursday, the day of February, then to meet for the dispatch of busi ness. At the conclusion of the Privy Council, the Recor der of Loudon was admitted into the presence of the King in Council; when the Learned Judge made his report of the convicts capitally convicted at Justice-Ilall in the Old Bailey, at the October sessions, when Austin, a letter-sorter at the General Post-office; Jasper, for forgery ; and Edmonds, for horse-stealing, were ordered for execution next Tuesday morning. The report occupied the attention of the King and Council upwards of an hour and a half. Prince Esterhazy, the A uatrian Ambassador, was introduced to his Majesty by the Right Hon. George Canning, the King's Principal Secretary tot' State for Foreign Affairs, - and conducted by Sir Robert Chester, his Majesty's Master of the Ceremonies, when his Excellency tank leave of the King previous to his departure from England for France, to which Court his Serene Highness has lately been appointed. The Judge-Advocate was admitted to an audience of his Majesty, to make his report of some Courts-martial, end to take his Majesty's commands on their decision , . The King gave audiences to the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Harrowby, Mr. Peel, Mr. Canning, the Duke of Wellington, and the Lord Chancellor. The Court broke up coon after ti o'clock, when the King left town on his return to his Royal Lodge in Windsor Park. Earl Delaware and Col. ring were the Lord and Groom in Waiting. IV. have received Bombay Papers to the 13th of Aut,7nst inclusive, Nyhich bring the Intelligence of the death of Sir Divan OCIITERLONT. This eyent occurred at Meerut on the 14th of July. Th e B om b a y Gazette, speaking of him, says -7- " As a public 'character, we are not aware of his parallel its the annals of British India. Dur ing a most active service of 47 years, its the double capacity of statesman and soldier, his unremitted exertions and unerring judgment con tributed largely to the stability of Government and prosperity of the country." The Supplement to the Calcutta Government Gazette of July 10, contradicts the report of the Siamese having joined the Burmese in the fol lowing terms : " ARRACAW.—The erroneous pronunciation of a name by a native new monger, who furnished the information for Arra can, noticed in our last, gave rise to a curious mistake. Shoum and Siam indeed are not easily distinguished from each other when uttered by a Mug, and this accounts for the private re port alluded to about the Siamese having joined the Burmese. It is a fact, that a small body of the Shanmese, tributaries to the King of A va, and inhabiting the northern provinces of the Burman Empire, have been drawn to the southward. They are, however, understood to be quite contemptible in a mili tary point of view. We received the communication at a late hour, otherwise we might have pointed out at the time the improbability of the Siamese having joined the Burmese, from the fact of 400 bullocks being on their way from Siam to Arra can, a messenger having been previously sent to ascertain whe ther trade could still be carried on during the present occupation of the province." 'FRE is boasted that the present machinery at the Mint will throw off seven hun dred thousand sovereigns in a week. This is esteemed as an immense exertion, yet, even at this immense exertion, it would occupy 22 years, or nearly so, to coin sufficient to pay off the na tional debt. As gold is in such demand, and time for coining wanted, we would recommend the coinage of '2l. 31. and 51. pieces, a plan by winch a great deal of time might be saved. GOLDEN LANE BREWEIVT•—The anxiety mani fested by the proprietors of the Nations Joint Stock Companies to inspect the real slate of their affairs, has not been without its beneficial influ ence on the shareholders of the above old esta blished concern. It is reported, that already several plans have been suggested, and offers made by persons of influence and fortune, to undertake the Rianagement on a more popular system, and as the premises are freehold, and the capital all paid up, the profits of the business will not be diminished, by the payment of rent or in terest, lint divided in proper proportions, amongst the shareholders, which will have the effect of speedily placing their value in their former ele vated rank in the Price Current List. ANANTIGUA,Nov. 13.—The weather continues most favourable for the ensuing crop, which will be large, and commence in many parts of the island early.—Nov. 16.—1 t began raining yesterday morning, and continued till one a.m. to-day, and there is every appearance of a further heavy fall.

KEAN appeared in the character of Othello, before nearly as full a house as on Monday evening, with the exception of the slips, which remained empty.—At the appearance of Kean the house gave a most enthusiastic round of applause, and when Mrs. llilson entered peal after peal rung through the building for a considerable length of time. r•ilence was then restored, and the play went on without any interruption until the close of the tra gedy. There were, perhaps, half a dozen noisy fellows in the third tier, who hissed occasionally, but the whole of them, one after the other, we're thrust out from their seats by those disposed to hear the actors. The pit, the two tiers of boxes, and the gallery, were unanimously in his favour, with the solitary ex ception of ono individual in the second tier, who was com pelled by the persons around him to still his clamour. At the fall of the curtain a loud and -unanimous call was made for Mr. Kean, who, in a few moments, entered from the side door, and presented himself to the audience. In ad dressing them he expressed his satisfaction and gratitude for the manner in which he had been received ; that it was beyond the powers of oratory to find language for the utterance of his feelings, and that during the interval of his absence from this country,' the hospitality he had experienced in New York on his former visit had never been effaced from his breast. lie withdrew amidst thunders of applause ; the whole house rose up in a body and gave him .three cheers when he re-entered the stage-door. Mr. Lee then appeared to announce the play for this evening, and on the unanimous call of the house for Richard the Third, he retired a few minutes, and re-entered with the announcement of Richard, in compliance with the wishes of the audience. (From the New York Globe and Emerald of Nov. 19.) THURSDAY EVENT NG.—We have but Just"time to say that the play of Richard the Third was pertbrmed to-night. The house was crowded from top to bottom. We were glad to see many Ladies in the dress boxes. Not a whisper of disappro bation was heard from beginning to end. In some of the scenes a pin might have been heard to fall. Mr. Kean was himself. We can say no more. ( From the National Advocate.) The success of Mr. Kean in New York is not go much to be wondered at, when it is considered what means his friends used to build him up. These means, says the Commercial, were— " l et, To forestall all the scats in the pit and two tiers of boxes. 2d, give away tickets. send them on board of ships, and every where else, to get persons to applaud. 3d, When the Keanites are all mustered, close the remainder of the theatre, so that his op ponents cannot appear against hint. 4th, Knock down those who hiss the actor. sth, Fill the lobby of the theatre with watchmen and police officers, to seize those rioters only who oppose the favourite of the managers. 6th, Then publish to the world that his appearance was a triumphant tic tory.—Only two things more remain to be done : lit, Station bullies in every box, to " bung up the eyes," and " lock up the jaws," of all who dare to shew the slightest mark of disapprobation ; 2d, Send to France for a corps of gent d'crnwric, so that our watchmen may be at leisure to per form their proper duty—of watching the property of our citi zens." The Commercial says further—" Some foreign gentle men have stated that it has already cost them four thousand dollars to sustain Kcan thus far." SINGULAR ACC] DENT TO MR. JEFFEttaarc.— The [Vashington Gazete mentions, that, accord. hug to the following narrative, Mr. JEFFERSON had a narrow escape for his life : We have received from Charlottesville the following account of the matter:—" Mr. Browere carried letters to Mr. J. and one from Mr. Madison ; the latter had submitted to the operation hereafter described, and represented it as not painful : and the artist assured Mr. J. that his mode was more easy than that of an artist who had already taken his bust. He submitted to the operation. Instead of pursuing the usual course of taking the face at one operation, and the rest of the head at another, the whole was attempted at once. The plaster was permitted to get too hard, and Mr. Jefferson was nearly suffocated. He had no other mode of giving the alarm but by stamping with his feet. This noise alarmed tl►e female part of the family, who ran into the room in a moment. The plaster was so hard that it had to be broken into pieces by means of a hammer and a chisel. The strokes were necessarily hard, and the jars exceedingly distressing. Even after the mould was broken, the plaster had taken such firm hold on the ears that Mr. Jefferson was doubtful whether they would be pulled off, or the plaster would break. It had to be separated from other parts of the neck and skin by running a knife between. This operation, inde pendent of the suffocation, you will easily conceive, must have been distressing. I understand that Mr. J. says he had his arm broken, and his wrist put out of joint at the same moment, and the pain of setting the one and putting the other in place, was far less than what this operation occasioned. Would you be lieve that this " eccentric" artist and letter-writer neither sym pathized with the pain he had occasioned nor participated in the solicitude of the family? On the contrary, he was congratulating himself with the exactness of the likeness, and unfeelingly jest ed about the pain and distress. His sensibility was alike blunted to the evidences of displeasure occasioned by his untimely hu mour. The coxcomical letter he has written on the subject, caps the climax of his " eccentricity," Tile RECORneit's REPORT.—A t the Council held yesterday the REconntu of LoNnox made a report to the KING of the following prisoners under sentence of death in Newgate, all of whom were convicted at the Old Bailey Octo ber Sessions,—namely, William Henry Austin, aged 35, of secreting and stealing a letter, he being employed as a letter sorter at the General Post-office; Richard William Jasper, 25, of forging an acceptance to a bill of exchange; Joseph Hooper, 24 ; George Hooper, 24 ; George Newton, 37 ; Joseph Impey, 16; Robert Newton, 40; George Lewis, 17 ; Wm.
