that, therefore, he might take his departure. Several privateers were on the coast, and had taken a number of Brazilian vessels. Commerce Was very languid ; dollars worth 1600 reas ; bills on London 34 pence the milrea ; and paper money a t 55 per cent. discount ; and it was un derstood at Rio that counter orders had been issued to the Admiral, commanding the Imperial Squadron in the River Plate to capture all vessels that were cleared for Buenos Ayres, and those found above Monte Video. The following are extracts : " LA GUAYRA, MAY '7.—Bolivar proceeds with the order to take the arms from the Creoles and Negroes, and to place them in the public stores. This measure, it is ex- Petted, will have a good effect in restoring the public con fidence ; and after the present difficulty experienced in the Cnstorn-house is over, which is entirely owing to the Practice of persons here neglecting to honour their Custom house Bonds for date, some of which have been lying over for a long time, trade must revive, as the present regula tion in the Custom-house will prevent that abuse in future. Good coffee is now selling in Ca raccas at 7:it cents., and plenty ; Indigo is scarce and high, say 16i to 18 rial s , • flour is going off at 12 dollars to 12i ; lard 16 to 18 cents. Blum. The ship Florida, Captain Howland, has brought advices from Rio Janeiro to the 16th April. —Mr. Requet, late Charge d'Affaires for the United States at the Court of Brazil, and his Lady, have arrived in the Floridas. A passenger states , that the course pursued by Mr. Raquet in demanding his PassP°rti was warmly advocated by the Diplomatic Corps and Foreigners generally. It caus e d much sensation in the Brazili an cap ital. The Bra zilians argued, that it was not p oss ibl e t h a t hi s M a j es ty Would let Mr. R. go —it was, they said, a ruse de guerre on his Part, f o r the purposeof obtaini ng i n d emn i ty f or t h e cap t ure of p roper ty belonging to American citizens ; but they were astonished when they found he was about to embark. It was rep or ted that one of the influential Members of his Majesty's Council pressed the Emperor to make some concession to the R e publican Envoy. It was a step which would in evitably involve them in difficulty with a formidable Power. The Emperor is said to have replied—" To the Represen tative of a powerful Monarchical Government, I might be incline to conced e , b ut I hate Republics and Republicans— let him go." Th e fi nances of the Brazilian Government was in a depl ora bl e condi tion--the revenue from the Cus toms h aving greatly diminished, and the Bank paper, of which it may b e sa i d there were upwar d s o f e i g ht een mil lions in circulation, had depreciated 55 per cent. in value since the commencement of the war. A large quantity of the Crown jewels had been offered for sale to meet the pre sent exigencies of the Treasury, but was withdrawn, having found no purchasers. Captain John B. Amedie (or Amedy), who was con victed of having destroyed, about two years since, the schooner Pacific, of Boston, in the British Channel, with intent to defraud certain Insurance Offices, was sentenced on the 29th ult. to be executed at Richmond on the 29th of J une. ,George Tamoree, native of the Sandwich Islands, died on the Sd of Maya he was the son of the late Tamoree, ,_"' 1 , 11 8' of Tanai ; was educated at the Foreign Mission School, at Cornwall, Connecticut, and was one of the five n ative youths who sailed with the first Missionaries to the s andwich Islands in 1819. i t gentleman from Havannah, arrived at Pensacola, s tates that Commodore Porter lately drew on the Mexican i wiVer omen t for 60,000 dollars. The drafts were ',onoured, and, it is said, were negociated at the Havannah. It is further stated, that the Lieut. Commandant of the cruis er (the Bravo,) which had been captured by the ,Spaniards, had been imprisoned in Havannah. Commodore rorter winte to the commander, that if hewas not released ' llll his parole, within twelve hours after the receipt of his Communication, and treated as a prisoner of war of his railk was entitled to expect, that he (Commodore Porter) Would retaliate on every Spanish officer who might fall i nto his hands. That the Lieutenant was accordingly released, and is now in Pensacola. The claims made on the Brazilian Government, by the citizens of the United States, for illegal captures, is stated to amount to upwards of 250,000 dollars. There are some men on whom experience is thrown away, and to whom prudence offers her admonitions in vain. It not infrequently hap- Pens that the victims of mental delusion glory in their shame, and are proud of the ignominy they encounter, having before their eyes the fame Which martyrs have acquired in a good cause, Without taking much trouble to ascertain whe ther their own comes under that denomination. Thus the enlightened Marquis of LONDON bERRY has taken up some monstrous notions about Mr. CANNING, not founded upon the thirty years' career of his public life, but on the fact of his having successfully resisted a cabal, form e d to shut him out from that position which the admiration of friends, the voice of the public, and the fears of his enemies, alike assigned to 'him. Under the influence of all the phantoms Which can present themselves to a disordered imagination, he sees in the person of the Right Honourable Gentleman, a second ROBESPIERRE °r MARAT (though we are not aware of his having shed a single drop of human blood, and all the world knows him to have ever been the br illiant opposer of revolutionary principles)— a nd manfully despises the scorn of friends and f oes in his anxiety to upset this terrific dynasty. Ask the Noble Lord why he does so) and he can give no other reason, except this, that he is the uncompromising enemy of Mr. CANNING, and cannot place confidence in him. Confidence indeed sounds well from his mouth ! Pray what sort of confidence does any human being place in the Marquis of LONDON TERRY ? Is it, in his judgment, discretion, or political principle, when he is seen almost foam ing at the mouth in his opposition to an indi vidual, with whom be agrees on the very ques tion which alone subjects that Statesman to the imputation of being an innovator or reformer ? But the Noble L or d is on e of those capable of really misunderstanding M l . IZUSICIssoN's note to the Duke of WELLINGTON, and as such it Is a l mo st unfair to feel any t hi ng but pity for an individual, to whom Nature has been as churlish la the gifts of Minci, as she has been lavish in t hose o f a different description. Our readers will perceive that the Noble Mar quis has already forgotten the chastisement in flicted by Lord DUDLEY'S last speech, and chose Yesterday to run his head against Lord LAN-s -4ovviiß. He thought he had fairly non plussed the Cabinet Minister, by putting a Tery artful question, from which no escape had Presented itself to the Noble querist. As he w as going to Ireland (a weighty reason, indeed,) he Wished to know from Lord LANsDowNE what he meant to do with such petitions as he might receive from the Catholics, pray ing for an early consideration of their cl Whatever Lord LANSDOWNE might e aY e-Ylas to turn to account, and even the effect of silence was anticipated ; but Lord LANSDOWNE was ill-natured enough to make the House laugh:at the Gallant Marquis, by furnish ing him ,with a short and easy answer for' those who might ask Lord LONDONDERRY what Lord LANSDOWNE'S intentions were, viz., that be was not acquainted with them. We have just received, as our paper was going to press, an express from Paris, bringing the Lours Authentique of Wednesday afternoon, by which it will be seen that the French Funds have risen :—Five per 'Cents. 102 f. 30c., Three per Cents. '7lf. 30c. Brussels Papers to the 27th inst. were re ceived last night. At the great Wool Fairs in Prussia and Saxony that article appears to have fetched good prices. We subjoin extracts : BERLIN, JUNE 18.—His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, who is making a tour to inspect the various garri sons, arrived on the 14th at Stettin. Of about 10,000 cwt. of wool brought to the fair at Stettin, a very small quantity remained unsold. The prices were—for ordinary wool, 30 to 35 dollars ; middling, 40 to 55 dollars ; fine, 60 to S 5 dollars. That of Weinrichs dorf was sold at 100 dollars. DEESDEN, JUNE 15.—The wool fair was held from the 11th to the 13th. The sellers were well satified ; a great quantity was sold, and at good prices. On the 13th the King gave a private audience at Pilnitz, to the Count de Saxbourg, Minister of Bavaria, who had the honour to deliver to him the letter of condolence and felicitation from his Sovereign, and to present his credentials. SWITZERLAND, JUNE 13.—8 y a Circular of the 6th of this month, the Directory has addressed to the Customs the Convention signed at Berne, on the 20th of May, re specting the establishment of French subjects in Switzer land, and of Swiss subjects in France, inviting them to de cide on the ratification of that important document. At the same time it communicates to them the project of e second Convention with France, on several points of po lice, and the administration of justice. As it will be laid before the Diet, the Directory re quests the Customs to give to their Deputies the necessary nstructions. PrrzaseuaGu, JUNE 9.—The Committee directing the affairs of Siberia, has determined, that with detach ments of exiles that set out weekly from each Govern ment for Siberia, the unmarried women, and those women whose husbands are not with them, shall be carefully separated from the men, because the neglect of this precaution often leads to fatal consequences. According to the Report of the Committee, the number of persons banished has increased, since 1822, from 9,000 to 12,000. The exiles are escorted as far as Casan, and from that place are accompanied by detachments of Tartars to the frontiers of Siberia, from which they have often to tra vel 4,000 werets (2,600 miles) before they arrive at the place of their destination. They are then placed under care of detachments stationed at certain distances for that purpose. In consequence of the great number of exiles, it often happens that some of them escape on the way. OSTEND, JUNE 24.—iire can assure the public that all the powder has been removed from the magazines within the walls of Ostend ; and that all the inhabitants speak in high terms of the precaution and care manifested in the speedy execution of this measure ; the consequence of which, besides making the inhabitants easy, will be to attract numerous strangers, for the enjoyment of sea-bathing in the fine season ; in fact, some have already arrived, and others have bespoke lodgings. We received this morning the Journal of St. Petersburgh to the 13th inst. ; it contains news from the army in Georgia to the 16th May, giving details of the operations before the fortress of Erivan. These accounts 'may be very inte resting to the Russians, but they possess little interest here. Indeed we know not how far to de pend upon their accuracy, for truth has a long way to travelfrom the confines of Persia to the imperial archives at St. Petersburgh, where facts some- times accommodate themselves to circumstances. The war with Persia, or indeed any war, may be very popular to the Russians, but we cannot look on the struggle with the same feelings. We hope if the progress of the war be not checked by the power of the Persians, which does not appear very likely at present, that the interposi tion of greater authority may save Persia from the domineering grasp of her rapacious neigh bour : NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN GEORGIA. ST. PETERSEURCH, JUNE 12. The following details are transmitted by General Ben kendorff, from the camp before Erivan, dated the 2d (14th inst.) On the 26th April (Bth May), Major Youdine, with five companies of the Regiment of Schirvan, and four pieces of cannon, occupied the northern suburb, and erected a battery there, under the fire of the artillery and mus ketry of the town, which could not do them any harm. The enemy's cavalry, which was quartered in this suburb, has retired to the mountains, where its piquets are seen. On the 9th of May, Major Volgenskoi, with the remainder of the Regiment of Schirvan, and a company of that of Tiflis, occupied the eastern suburb and the gardens, so that a communication is established from the camp to the little hill situated on the south-east of the fortress, and from that point to the post of Major Youdine, whose right flank , extended to the Zanga. General Benkendorff praises in particular the ability of the officers of the artillery, who have already dismounted several of the enemy's guns and daily do him much injury according to the report of the inhabitants and Sarbazians, of whom great numbers fly from the town. On the Bth and 9th we had one soldier killed and two wounded. On the 12th of May, the advanced post of carabineers was attacked by 200 Persian horsemen, who intended to throw themselves into the fortress, the Governor of which caused a sally to be made at the same time, but they were repulsed with loss by Lieutenant Petroff, who commanded the post. On the same day Kalabaley Sultan, one of the chiefs of the Schadlines, waited on General Benkendorff, expressing to him in the name of the whole tribe, their desire to be received under the protection of his Majesty the Emperor. The Schad lines consist of 300 families, who inhabit the village of Vedi. They signified that they were ready to act against the Persians, in order to avoid being obliged to emigrate to the other side of the Araxes, as the Persians would force them to do. Major-General Schabelskoi, who has escorted a. convoy, from the Russian frontier to Erivan, where he arrived on the lath of May, has not met with a single enemy, and found every where abundant pasture. The detachment under Major-General Pankatieff, re mains in its old position on the Kozloutchai. The Persians are beginning to collect their forces on the other side of the Araxes, the water in which is still very high, and the passage over it has hitherto been extremely difficult. The division of the main body of troop s , continue their advance towards the frontier. LATEST FROM BRAZILS.—In the British brig Speedy, which arrived in Hampton Roads from Rio, came M. OLIVERA, who is charged with a Mission from the Brazilian Government. A Chili= frigate, with 600 men on board, has been lost off Cape Horn—all perished. A silly blockhead, calling himself the Rev. P ET ER LEGH, has (as Chairman of the War rington Pitt Club) made a supernaturally stupid speech upon what he terms Pitt prin ciples, in which, with an unblushing con tempt for his sacred calling, he pronounces Mr. CANNING to be « the most accomplished political swindler of his day—a political Judas—a traitor to his avowed principles—a despicable truckler —a political profligate—a crafty and ambi- tious Minister." If any thing can gratify Mr. CANNING, it must, be the contempt of such a mean reptile as this. We should apo logize to our readers for collecting all the creature's filth ; but we do it .for the purpose of showing to what extent the degradation of the human mind can be carried. Probably the Rev. PETER LEGH has been disappointed of a Bishopric. Nothing is more likely ; for who would give a mitre to Thersites ? Newfoundland Papers to the 29th May mention that his Majesty's ship Orestes, Capt. Jones, with the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia on board, had arrived the evening before from Halifax, in four days. His Majesty's brig Contest, Lieut. English, had also arrived, in 11 days, from the same port. These Papers communicate the in creased activity which prevailed in the seal fishery, and bids fair to be attended with considerable beneficial effects to that Colony. WASHINGTON PAPERS.-Mr. Sparks, the editor of the North American Review, is industriously engaged, at Mount Vernon, in arranging the papers left by General Washing ton, preparatory to their publication. The Chamber of Commerce of St. John's, New Bruns wick, have petitioned the British Government to prohibit the introduction of American produce into the English West India" Islands, through neutral ports. The peti tioners represent that, if this circuitous trade be permitted, it will operate greatly to the prejudice of the British Co lonies, and recommend the Government to prohibit (ex cept in extreme cases) the entry of any United States' produce into any British port or place, whether British or foreign, south of Halifax. A private letter from ,Rio, says, this Government is about to send reinforcements to their army; and the Buenos. Ayres Commander, Gem Alveira, has sent for 2,600 men ; so that the winter will probably pass away in preparations for an active campaign next summer; while it is understood that negociations are going on through the medium of the Bri tish Minister, at this Court, and at Buenos Ayres. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, Twelve o' Clock. To-day being a holiday at the Bank and both Stock Ex changes the dealers met, as usual, in the Royal Exchange, where the attendance has been rather numerous, without, however, any business of an important character ; some private bargains have been effected in Consols at 861, buyers, and this was the nearest price at the above hour. The principal operations in the Foreign Funds have been in Greek Bonds, which are about 1 per cent. higher than yester day, being 16i buyers ; this is owing to the late disasters not being of that ruinous nature which the accounts from Ger many represented ; it is also now stated that the Perseverance steam vessel has not been captured by the Turks, but on the contrary, that she has appeared off Santa Maura, and offered battle to a Turkish vessel of force in that harbour. Colombian Bonds are heavy at 30 ; Mexican, 701, buyers; Brazilian are offered at 60, but no buyers. Two o' Clock. Consols are without the least variation, and continue at 861 the price. Colombian Bonds have been done at SOi, but are now 301-. Mexican are 70i . The jobbers are retiring from the labour of the day, and the Royal Ex change is nearly clear of their attendance. CAPTAIN FRANKLIN. The following is an extract of a letter addressed to the Editor of the Detroit Gazette, dated Santa de St. Marie, 29th April, 1827 :—" Artic Land Expedition letters have been received at Detroit from Captain Franklin, who had pushed his examinations as far as long. 149. SS. W., but was then compelled by the density of the fog to relinquish his design of proceeding to the Pacific by Icy Cape. He had established the fact of the continuity of water commu nication from the mouth of the Copper-mine River and M'Kenzie River. Captain Franklin and his party were expected to return to Detroit in July next. When the bearer of these letters left Fort Franklin in October, the members of the party were in good health."

Mrs. EGERTON, at her residence on Castle-hill. Her Royal Highness returned to Frogmore in his Majesty's carriage. THEDUKE AND DUCHESS OF C L ARENCE.-- The Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, and the Nobility and Gentry who were present at the Dinners and Routs given by the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE on Monday and Tues day evenings, called the following mornings to the number of near two thousand, at the resi dence of their Royal Highnesses in the Admi ralty, to make their enquiries after the health of the Royal Duke and Duchess. The whole of the company who attended the two entertain ments were introduced to the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE by Lieutenant-Colonel COOPER, one of the Grooms of the Bedchamber to their Royal Highnesses. The Duke of CLARENCE held a Levee as Lord High Admiral, on Wednesday, which was attended by a number of Flag, and fifty other Naval Officers. The Duke of CLARENCE gave a grand dinner on Wednesday to a numerous party of official and other Gentlemen. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE visited the New Building, yesterday, erected on the site of the former residence of their Royal High nesses, in the King's Palace, St. James's. Col. STEVENSON, Surveyor-Gener a l o f his JESTY'S Board of Works, and Mr. HUNT, the Architect, received their Royal Highnesses on their arrival, and attended the Royal Visito rs during their inspection of the edifice. Admiral Sir ISAAC COFFIN and servants, came passengers from New York, in the Cokm- Ma packet ship, Capt. DELANO, which vessel is arrived at Portsmouth, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

PARIS, JUNE 26.—The Pinchincha Colombian pi i vatter.lias captured, in the Mediterranean, a Spanish mer chantman, bound to Barcelona, with a cargo estimated at 80,000 piastres. The Exporter, from the Mauritins, is arrived off Wey mouth, sailed the 24th of March. The Norfolk, Grey, from Bombay, is not arrived, as stated on Saturday. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. The Court was occupied the greater part of the morning in discussing the propriety of having several motions, in Brown v. De Tastet, heard by his Honour. The Vicit CHANCELLOR directed that they should be made before the Lord Chancellor. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. THE KING V. MILEGILNE, MILLS, AND CLEVERLY. Mr. HILL this morning appeared for 'the defendants, who were before the Court yesterday for judgment, and said, that they had acceded to the suggestion of the Court to go before the Master, in consequence of which their Lordships should hear nothing further about the matter. Lord TENTERDEN said, the Court were of opinion that the assignees had acted with great propriety in bringing the present case under the notice of the Court. He was afraid the practice of withdrawing goods on the eve of bankruptcy, and of giving an undue preference to favourite creditors, prevailed too often ; but this was the first in stance in his recollection that the question was brought in a criminal form before the Court. The conduct of Mills in this case appeared as favourable as in such a case could be imagined. He was not a general creditor of Cleverly's; he had merely pledged his credit in support of the business ' - and, inasmuch as he had paid the bills to which he had become a party, the creditors had to a certain, though not to the full extent, profited by these payments. For these reasons the Court was not un willing that the case should go before the Master ; but he wished the public distinctly to, understand, that such con duct was a great offence against the law; and that any person who should hereafter be convicted of a similar offence would not escape the judgment of the Court. His Lordship strongly censured the conduct of attornies in mixing themselves up in these transactions; instead of their professional character being an excuse for them, he said, it only aggravated their offence, because they ought to know the illegality of such conduct, and should inform those who consulted them of its being so. COURT OF EXCHEQUER: The Court were engaged on the Special Paper all the morning, but nothing of public interest transpired. CONSISTORY COURT. BRAY V. BRAY. This was a suit instituted by the wife against the hus band for a divorce, by reason of cruelty. The case now came before the Court upon the admission of the libel. It appeared that the parties were married in April, 1825, under very peculiar circumstances, the wife being then in a very delicate state of health, and the husband agreeing that they should reside with Mrs. Malcomb (Mrs. Bray's mother), and should travel for the benefit of Mrs. Bray's health. The alleged cruelty was stated to have commenced about two months after the marriage, and comprehended se veral distinct charges of personal violence, as well as other insults and indignities of a most aggravated character. After living a short time at Clifton, the parties came to re side at Brompton-row, Brompton, where it was alleged Mr. Bray renewed the system of cruelty and vexations which he had practiced, and continued the same until the -sepamt;.n oPthe abosate year and ar ha)/ after their marriage. The libel was admitted, but the J udge suggested certain alterations and amendments. BRISCOE V. 13RISCOE. As the Court was about to rise, Dr. LEE called its at tention to the complaint' he had made against the Registrar, for refusing to let him see the taxed costs in the above cause. Sir C. ROBINSON said, that in tenderness to Dr. Lee, he had refrained from adverting to the subject, unless it was forced on him., He had no difficulty in stating, that he should refuse the application, and would sate the grounds for that refusal on the next Court day, when he should be in possession of minutes of what took place in the cause before the High Court of Delegates. Dr. LEE repeated his accusations against the Counsel and Proctors, and stated his intention of repeating his applica tion on the next Court day. KING'S THEATRE. Mademoiselle George, the principal ornament of the French Theatre, performed here last night (for her own benefit) in Voltaire's impressive tragedy of " Semiramis." From the appearance of this lady, we should have supposed her age to be about fifty, 'though her voice would seem to indicate that she was younger. In person she is (to use the lang much language of Thompson) " more fat than bard beseems ;" her face, however, is striking and beautiful, and almost redeems the oppressive exuberance of her figure. In the very first act, she gave an instance of those powers, which have so often electrified the Parisians : the manner, too, in which she assumed the throne, and declared the royal will to the people, was equally impressive. But the two passages in which she made the deepest impression, were the concluding scenes of the fourth and fifth acts; her horror at finding that she was on the eve of marrying her own son, and her shame on discovering that he knew her to be his father's murderer : the delivery :of these two passages exhibited the proudest triumph of the art. Her pathos was not equal to her passion ; though there was a tenderness in her recitation of the fol lowing lines, which brought tears to the eyes of those among the audience who had the good l o p' ,K to understand French : .leureuz : • Cetespoir me console, it mele quelque foie j A e u Ixa n h e e or rs e_ii e vien_so, n e r sdelam t ort,o .. ll l : 11°:: 1 ame est en proie, a Semiramis Ne hai s point sa memoir/. 0 mons ills! mon cher ills C'en est fait...-. The house Was fay and fashionably attended; and, When the tragedy was over, Mademoiselle George w 4B led forward, to receive the enthusiastic applausea of the audience. ARRIVAL OF THE MARCHIONESS WEL. LEnEy.---This amiable and deservedly popular Lady arrived in town on Monday, considerably improved, we are happy to say, in health. Sir S. BRUCE, Sir G. RICH, Sir E. HUNTER, and other gentlemen of the suite, received the Marchioness at hor landing.--Dublin Morning Register., COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—A very in teresting child, the sister of Miss ROMER, the Columbine of Covent-Garden Theatre, made her first appearance last night at this house, .as a vocalist, and executed the little song she had to sing, with a spirit and power quite surprising in a child of such tender years, and which gives promise that this juvenile syren will, at some future day, arrive at no mean eminence in the profession to which she is devoted. THE MELODIsTs.- - -Yesterday the Melo dists' Club held their last meeting for the sea son, at the Freemasons' Tavern. There was plenty of good eating and singing, in the last of which capacities Mr. BRA HAM figured with considerable effect, THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.

FOREIGN SUGARS.—A Treasury order having been re ceived yesterday at the Custom House for admitting Foreign Clayed Sugars for refining, under the regulations of th Board's order, dated Ist June instant, has caused Boni, business to be done by the Refiners, the Sugars being so) on the same terms as to an exporter, the Refiners to pay th. duty. Very low brown Brazils (Babies). from 30s. to 325. good to fine Whites, 40s. to 425. : on the former it ap pears pretty certain that the duty will be 295. per cwt. but on the latter there is a doubt, from the manner ii which the Board's order is worded. In Havannah (whites here has been very little done, the prices being to high: REFINED SUGARS.-On Monday there was some vet.) extensive business done in almost all the descriptions for the home trade ; for crashing also the business done wa very extensive, at a trifling advance on last week : the ac counts on Tuesday from Hamburgh not being quite so fa vourable, appeared to throw rather a damp on the market, but before the close of the day the demand revived, and almost every thing was taken out of the market, the ad vanced prices demanded being given. COFFEE has sold briskly this week, and, for the coloury qualities of Plantation, rather higher prices have been ob tained; 661 casks and 151 bags have been offered, and nearly the whole disposed of; 1,219 bags Foreign also found buyers at a trifling advance, ordinary to good ordi. ni.ry Brazil having sold 41s. a 445., good ordinary St. Domingo 425. a 435. 6d., and a few lots fine ordinary a t 445.

Her Highness the Princess of LIEVEN ha, issued cards for a grand ball on Friday, the 6tl of July. _ _ The Baron de GEMMINGEN and the Count de GORLITZ, the principal Officers of the Queen of Wurtemberg's Household, left town on Tuesday for Frogmore Lodge, where hei MAJESTY is at present staying. These Noble men have during their residence in town, visited the different places of public amusement, and also the most celebrated national edifices. Mr. WEIPPERT, the celebrated harp-player ; has been appointed professor of that instrument to the KING. STATE or TRADE.---Business for the last ten days, and there has been small decline in prices. This change has been attribe ..ed to the failure of the Corn Bill ; and not a little been dui) industry has been used tc persuade the public that xr. "ost injurious effects have been produced upon the tr 'fue of this district, by the Duke of WELLINGTON'S • amendment. That there may have been orders MAO amanded in consequence of the failure of the Bill, vr e do not take upon ourselves to deny; but that their rLount has been such as seriously to affect our manufac turing interests will, we think, scarcely be credited when i it is known that at the Meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce yesterday, not one gentleman ventured to sa) from his own knowledge that a single order had been coun termanded in consequence of h.—Manchester Herald. IMPROVEMENT OF TRADE IN IRELAND _We are highly gratified to learn, that there were English. buyers yesterday, in the National Market erected by Mr. Home; that extensive purchases were made, and that there would have been bidders for many articles which were not exhibited, but which are, we regret to learn, piled up in the holes and corners of the Liberty, where it seems still the policy to warehouse the produce of the Irish loom. There is a notion that we cannot compete with the English—but the purchases yesterday, r .and they were very extensive, were for the Manchester market.—Dublin Morning Register. Horncastle June Fair has this year been think attended. Very few valuable horses were produced : those of good quality and of the cart kind met with a tolerably brisk sale, at no great reduction in prices : in horses of all other descriptions little business was done. Poor sheep, ot which there were many, sold very slowly, at reduced prices. The show of fat beasts was small, and they were readily disposed of. There was a very large quantity of store beasts, which met with a dull demand, and many were driven away unsold after remaining till the afternoon. —A farmer lost his pocket book in .the town : it did not contain more than 51., he having very fortunately paid upwards of 1001. for his rent, only an hour or two before. —Lincoln Paper. THE WE AT II R a the last fortnight the weather has been delightful. Some farmers in this neighbourhood commenced the hay cutting on Monday, and it is expected to be general in a few days. Though greatly superior to that of last year--still it can hardly be consi dered more than an average crop. The great deficiency is in the clover. The produce of the fields in this quarter will run from 150 to 200 stones an acre. A few sales of the forth-coming crop have been already made, and Sd. and 9d. a stone are the rates generally talked of. Last year the first sales were effected at ls. a stone, and the prices rose rapidly with the coatintwee of the drought..../Scotchniao HINDOO WIDOWS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) It is with sincere pleasure we find that the at tention of the British public is at length directed to the wanton sacrifice of human lives, which annually takes place in our East Indian Pos sessions. In Manchester, on the 9th ultimo, a town's meeting to petition Parliament was held at the Town Hall, convened by the public autho rities. George Neden, Esq., the Boroughreeve, in the chair. The Bishop of Chester presented the petition to the Lords, and, as well as Lord Stanley in the House of Commons, ably sup ported the prayer of the petition. Within the period of the day of the Manchester meeting, petitions have been presented from Reading, Staines, Salisbury, Chester, and several other places. The petition from the city of Chester was signed by the Dean and most of the leading inhabitants, and was to be presented by the Bishop of the Diocese. Mr. Poynder's speech at the India House on the subject, which has been printed in a separate volume, contains de tails and evidences beyond what has been gene rally known in England. It is obvious that the friends of humanity must not relax nor rest sa tisfied, until something like a simultaneous feeling is produced throughout the country — the strong impulse of public feeling, direct ing all its moral energies to vindicate the violated rights of humanity, is alone wanted to extirpate this and other grievances that con stitute the reproach of the British nation in .the 19th century. We are led to expect that the great commercial towns of Liverpool and Bir mingham will shortly petition Parliament to sup press these horrid murders, in India. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-Juxx 28. Betting was very dull to.day, and very few of the betting men assembled, consequently little was done to alter the positions of the different horses. It will be seen that Ma meluke has gained half a point, and he seems to stand as well as ever. Reviewer has lost a step. Tom Jones and Popsy are looking up ; but from the very little betti ng , we think these alterations will hardly stand. 80 to 1 was bet against Tom Jones winning at Newcastle and Doncas ter, and Reviewer, against Tom Jones, for both stakes; 2 to 1 against Mameluke and Granby. Popsy against Jupiter or Olivera, &c. The following bets were.made or offered : JULY STAKES-(NEWMARKET). 3 to 1 agst Zeal. DONCASTER ST.
