a (From the Etoile, dated Slinday, Dec. 11.) VIENNA, DEC. I.—The Emperor, taking into consideration the request of Baron de Vincent, his Ambassador at the Court of France, after more than forty years service in the Military and Diplomatic career, has deigned to allow him to retire. His :Majesty has appointed Prince Paul Esterhazy, now his Am bassador at the Court of London, to succeed him as Minister at the Court of his Most Christian Majesty. Count Appony, Austrian Ambassador to the Holy See, succeeds Prince Ester hazy at London.--(Court Gazette.) - Metalliques, ; Bank Stock, 1191. 3-10. PNESSITRO, Nov. 29.—The Royal Resolution of Novem ber 9. in answer to the complaints of the Diet, made a very disagreeable impression, and the States were on the point of repeating their complaints, perhaps in still stronger terms. But en the proposal of some less ardent Members, the Diet resolved to ask the mediation of the Archduke Palatine, who, on taking this mediation on himself, only performed the con stitutional duties of his office. He set out for Vienna, and represented the real state of things to his Majesty. The sittings were interrupted during his absence. At length the Archduke has returned, and the gracious declarations of his august brother, of which he is the bearer, have tranquillized the minds of the Estates. The friends of the Court affirm that they are going to debate on the Royal propositions, but it is asked what are the explanations given by the King ; are they written or verbal ? The public hope that - the most important papers, relative to the present Session of the Diet, will be printed and published. PAP 15, DEC. 10.—It is said that the Turkish and Egyptian beet,' consisting of 139 sail, arrived at Motion and Navarin on the 4th and sth of November. (From the Journal des Debuts.) Accounts from Rome say, that, at the desire of a foreign Government, the Police has seized the papers of the Prince de Montfort (Jerome Buonaparte) in the solitary chateau near .Fermi, on the shores of the Adriatic, where he passed the last summer.. Madame Murat has asked permission to reside at Rome, but has been refused. The .Count de St. Len (Louis Timonaparte) wants to leave Rome, and settle at Florence, but -has not yet found a purchaser for his palace at Rome.

Mr. EDITOR—As several improvements are in contemplation in different parts of the Metropolis, it is to be hoped that another session of Parliament will not be allowed to pass over without a Bill being brought in for making an open ing from Coventry-street to Covent-garden. It has long been and is at present a matter of astonishMent that there is no direct street for carriages from the Wrest end of the Town to the great Theatres. When his Majesty wishes to attend the theatre, he is obliged to pass along narrow and dirty streets, br rather passages, in peril of being overturned, 'by which the distance is increased nearly twofold. Now, if an opening were made into Leicester-square thrOugh St. Martin's court, taking down the North side of New street to make it in as line . withping-street, a direst line of street would be formed from Hyde Park Corner to Covent Garden. It is certainly true that some individuals will always • suffer when any project is undertaken for the public good, and con sequently that those interested individuals will strenuously op pose it ; but if this fact were to be considered a sufficient - reason - for preventing the adoption of any. thing new, no public im provement could ever he effected, and the convenience and beauty of this great Metropolis would be altogether neglected. . If the plan which 1 have laid down were to be carried into ef . feet, one of the greatest nuisances in town would he removed, viz. St. Martin's.court, which is now both day and night the -resort of thieves and unfortunate females, whose regular peram bulations form a constant source of annoyance and danger to passengers, as no respectable female can pass through it with out witnessing some outrage on decency, and only tt. few nights Since I detected a juvenile thief in the act of taking my hand kerchief from my pocket. notwithstanding there are two officers stationed there duritag the day, and five or mix watchmen at night. Now, the expence of completing this plan would be comparatively small, as Leicester-square would form one:third at' the distance, perhaps not more than 40 or. 50 houses requir ing to be taken down. Fearing to take up a larger portion of your columns, I shall merely say that I trust by the circulation which will be given to this letter in your Journal, it will aid in bringing about an im .proveroent so imperatively demanded. A FRIEND .TO IMPROVEMENT. Regent-street, Dec. 9, 18.25. EGYPTIAN COTTON. ( From the'llfanchester Guaidian. j The following. extract of u letter from A lex anaria, dated 4th October, 1325, giving an account of the mode of culture of the 11laho or Jumel, and of -the common Egyp tian cotton, will be read with interest here. We are indebted for it to the principal of a highly respectable commercial house in this town " We have obtained some information regarding the cul tivation of cotton, which we submit in answer to your queries on the subject in yours of the 6th of August. It is generally sown in the month of April, when small trenches are made at a distance of one and a half to three feet, according to the land in which three or four grains are deposited at each foot and 4 half ; in the event of al springing up, one or two are taken out. " Rich soil is always chosen ; -sandy ground has been found net to answer. It does not afford sufficient nourishment to the plants, and the staple on such land has been invariably short.— It is found necessary to have it regularly watered throughout the year, and, on which account, the borders of the Nile, or the sides of the canals, are where it is chiefly grown. It is watered by the hand for the - first three or four days after it - has begun to sprout ; but when the plant has gained some degree of strength, it is only required every ten or twelve days, which is done by means of a machine, so constructed as to draw the water from the river or canal. The neighbourhood of Cairo, and in upper Egypt, are where it is produced in the greatest abundance ; and the crops in these parts are generally ready for gathering at the end of July ; whilst that which is grown on the borders of the sea is not ready till late in August. Cotton is grown by the same plants until January. " One person is frilly equal to the cultivation of a fedan, which corresponds with 333 i perches of 11. feet. It yields from two to eight cantars perfodan, according to land and climate. The expenses attending the cultivation are, duty of territory 37 piasters ; water, 1 ; beasts, 30 ;.labour,4o ; and cleaning, 5 ; total, 113 piasters per fedan. We understand the plough is generally used. " The cultivation of the-common Egyptian. cotton is widely different from that of the Illaho. .It is grown . in the plains,and the seed moistened before it is sown ; it requires watering but .a short while - after it springs, the. moisture of the night being found sufficient. " It is very generally believed that the seed of the Maim cot ton was originally introduced into.this country from the Brazils, by a Frenchman, namel Jumel, which is erroneous. , • We have learned from good authority, that it is a native seed : the good quality of which was first discovered by Ju mel, who was the first person that recommended the Pacha to attend to its cultivation. At the period of discovery it was growing, in the garden of Malto Bey, from which cir cumstance it draws its name. The plants are retained three ' years. We are not able to furnish vou with any more accu rate information as to the extent of the present production than we last gave you—viz. that we think 250,000 bales a good estimate."' Letters of a later date, from the same parties, estimate the crap at 250 ,to 300,000 bags, and speak of the'quality as ex cellent. According to accounts from. Italy, the cold at Rome, in the middle of last month, was as intense as it .usually is in Ja n uary , which is the genuine winter month of that climate. It i s stated in one of the last Copenhagen Papers, that a con siderable robbery had been comni4tect at Landscrona, in Sweden, in the last days of Novembr. The Town Chest, containing from seven ,to eight•thousand dollars, had been furtively carried away, and no- -otie could give a. clue to the abbers, uviJRCY IRELAND. Yesterday the Court was excessively crowded,.in consequence of the trial of the Gloucester-place swindlers being expected at 12 o'clock. Stanley de Corrcy Ireland and Elizabeth Gravett were put to the bar, charged upon a very long indictment, with having in the months ofSeptember and October last past, in the parish of St. Marylebone, fraudulently conspired with two persons of the names of Frederick Ponsonby and John Grizvett, alias Gordon, to defraud and cheat filters tradesmen therein named. The counts vi.ried the offence, and charged it upon individual persons. . . 3lr. AnoLPltus opened the prosecution; and Mr. ALLEY stated it• to the Jury, observing that it far ex ceeded in importance any that had. been before the Court for a considerable period ; and said it was not necessary to prove that the conspirators were acting at any one time together, but it would be s?en from the .evidence that the prisoners were all acting in concert. The Learned Counsel_ called William Alderson, clerk to Mr. harsh, house-agent, who deposed thotin the month of September, the prisoner Ireland called on him, and said he wanted to take a large house for a family of rank, and selected the house, No. 91, Gloucester place, and gave a reference to Mr. Martin, ALP., for Galway, and took possession or the house on the 26th September. Ile held possession until the middle of October, when the witness was sent for to the house, where he saw Captain Burton, Mr. Martin, Mrs. Marsh, and the prisoner, to whom Mr. Martin sak "Do you - agree to give up corporal .possession of the house?" lie consented, and asked leave to remain a day or two in the house, but Capt. BUrton refused.. The witness then received from him some duplicates of the articles belonging to the house Which were missing. Cross-examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS—Had not seen Mr. Martin, hut had received a letter from that/Hon. Gentleman. Mrs. Mary Marsh proved having received the reference which enabled Ireland to get into thehouse. When he first saw her, he gave the name of Lady Stanley, but said she was out of town, and then gave Mr. Martin. He represented him self to be a gentleman; and man of property. . Mr. R. Martin, examined by Mr. ALLEY-1 am member for Galway, and have received letters addressed to me under cover for the prisoner Ireland; whose family are highly respect able. I knew him in the town of Galway, and always thought him to be a man of substance. He, I knew, was proprietor by lease of some stone and marble quarries in Galway, which are very lucrative. He came to my lodgings in Manchester buildings, and said he was about taking a house in Gloucester place. I, in some surprise, asked him what he wanted with so large a house, knowing that he resided in Galway. He then mentioned that he was about to take the house for a Mr. Pon-. sonby, and if he would not take it, Mr. Ellice, the Master in . Chancery, would ; and knowing those were good names, I con sidered he might have intended t 9 make money by letting the house; and although I really thought it a little extra ordinary at first, my suspicions were removed, particularly as he afterwards said he would make 1001. by the letting. I say, Sir, that he owened marble quarries, which he could raise for Zs. a ton; and which he could get 91. per ton for in London ; and that, in my opinion, was a very good reason for supposing him to be a man of substance. Mr. ALLEY—What is your opinion of him now, Sir ? Mr. Martin—My opinion of him now is, that, he is not worth a shilling, and that he is a bad and infamous character.. illr. now this kind of thing cannot be allowed. Mr. Martin (in 'continuation)—Well, when I heard of hit practices, I went to Glocester-place with the house-agent. We were told by the female prisoner that he was not at home. 1, seeing her a decent woman, and having a 3 :onviction that lie was carrying on a:system of fraud, was sorry to see her, and asked her how she could lend herself to such a system of ;Inner. She expressed great surprise, and said she believed Mr. Ire land was a gentleman, and a man of property, and if he was not so, she was a very unfortunate. woman to have been en gaged by him ; she also said she had lived in the family of Lord Camden, I then said to Mrs. Marsh, that I had no doubt from her manner, she was a confederate, and of course could not be depended upon.. I also advised Mrs. Marsh to desire him to give up possession, and if he refused, to threaten to take .him to the police office and charge him with-swindling; and it' that would not do, I said twould, whether legal or not, come and thrust bins out of the-house. I, at another time, upon the entreaty of Mr. Marsh, went to the house- and saw Itelaad. I said " You scoundrel and robber, you hare by impositions caused me to give you a character. Why are you in the house?" He said, "by permission-of Mrs. Marsh.", I used some other opprobrious language to him, and made him agree to give up all corporeal - possession, and told Captain Burton to take pos session, which he did, and I went away. Mr. PIM. L IPS—Now, Mr. Martin, I will ask-you a ques ion or two. You know the family of this unfortunate gen leman ? ' %Ir. Martin-To be sure I do; they reside in Galway. Mr. PHILLITS—He is connected with some distinguished families in the kingdom of Ireland, and is a nephew of Sir Ed ward Stanley, one of the Judges of India. Mr. Martin—He is, Sir. Mr. PHILLIPS—From what you know of him in Galway, you supposed him to be apan of substance ; .51r. iMartin—l have said so. 31r. PHILLIPS—What was the lease worth ? 111r.'Martin--.llaving large property myself in marble, I considered him worth above 5,000/. He said to me that he had marble in Liverpool and in'London, and 'when I gave the reference, I considered him perfectly capable of paying any debt. Mr. PRILLIPS—Now, Sir, a word or two about this wo man. When you called Ireland a swindler, she appeared much astonished ? • _ _ _ Mr. Martin—She did, indeed, very much, and she looked like a servant. "- Re-examined by Mr. ALLEY—I did not reside in alehouse. She said she was a servant, and acted the part very well. PuILLIPS—\Vhat do you mean by " acted the part very well ?" Mr. Martin—Why, my impression was, that she was a con federate. Mr. PHILLIPS—So you suspected this woman, who was merely a servant to be a confederate ? Mr. Martin—Upon my word I did. Mr. PHILLIPS—WeII, Sir, if Ireland had the cleverness to humbug yon, don't you consider' he might have had the saga city to humbug a poor woman ? -Mr. Martin—Upon my word, I think she was not so easily humbugged ; and I am of opinion, any persons living in the house four or five days, must have known that the fellow was swindling the public, and consequently, if they winked at such practices, must have been . confederates. Mr. LT,ET then called Mrs. Daniell, Mr, Vickery, Mr. Saxby, Mr. Miller, Mr. Harding, and others, from whom Ponsonby and the prisoner obtained goods, and as the evidence has been so publicly detailed at the Police-office so lately, a repetition of it is unnecessary, particularly as the counts chang ing the offences of Messrs. Saxby, Miller, and Mr. Marsh were done away with by the Court, on the account of misnomers in the Christian names. • The objections gave rise to an immensity of legal discussion of a very desultory and uninteresting kind. Thomas Gresney deposed; , that he was engaged as groom to Mr. Ponsonby in the house, and occasionally. rode up and down Pall-Mall, with a led horse, by his master's desire. Mr. ALLEY—Ay, a branck of an honourable family of that name lived in that. vicinity. Gresney said, he never was paid his wages, and was deceived most grossly. By the COURT.—The woman Gravett acted as house keeper, and lived in the house. 'She did not dine at the same table with Ireland and Ponsonby. The CHAIRMAN said there was no evidence against the female, and directed her acquittal. ' A letter from Ponsonby to Ireland, dated Belmont, Kil kenny, Ireland, was put in. It was, that begging him to hire a house for him in London. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. PHILLIPS then rose to address the Jury for the pri soner; and contended that there was no proof of a conspiracy, or his having been a confederate with Ponsonby. On the con trary, the evidence; he considered, totally disproved that. The Learned Gentleman urged, at very considerable length, this point, and dwelt with much force on the fact stated by Mr. Martin, that the prisoner possessed considerable property in Galway, and was at the time the Hon. Member gave the re ference, in solvent circumstances. , The CHAIRMAN, in, summing up, declared he thought the conspiracy clearly proved, and brought home to the prisoner. The Jury consulted for ten minutes, and found him Guilty. The CHAIRMAN observed, in passing sentence, that ,the prisoner's acts had placed him at the head of swindlers. — The sentence of the Court was, that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for twelve mon tits. The prisoner received the sentence with much indifference. FATAL EFFECTS OF I NEBR. lATLON.--A. man named Hodgkinson, a tailor, of Madelev, left Newcastle on Monday, in a state of intoxication, by the new coach, called the " Alliance," on his way to London. When the coach reached Canwellgate, the unfortunate man, losing his equili brium, fell from the top, and was instantly killed. 2. L STOCK ACCOU NT for the !V of Decemb Articles.

JOURNAL for NO VEMBER, 1825, kept at the OBSERVATORY of the ROYAL A CADEmY, Gosport, Hants : . , " The weather this month has hPett mostly wet and stormy, very variable in the temperature and pres sure, and the lower stratum of air generally in a state of con densation, accompanied with unwholesome currents of wind, which were sometimes opposite, and at other times crossed each other at right angles. The effects of this weather upon the human constitution have been, in many instances, in this neighbourhood, severe attacks of rheumatism and colds During the Bth, 9th, and 10th inst. two inches and a half of rain and hail fell here, with a low barometer, and piercing winds from the North and North-east. At the time of these heavy gales many vessels were wrecked along the. Western coast, and a great part.of their crews drowned. In the night of the 29th, and morning of the 29th, much lightning and thunder occurred here, with torrents of rain . and hail. The peals of thunder being mostly in the zenith as the 'storms passed over, they were therefore near and very loud, the lightning often forked ; and the hailstones of a large size lay in heaps hi the gutters some hours after their descent. The ,contrast be tween the lightning and a lighted candle in the bed-chamber, was remarkable; the former appeared bright and vivid, and the latter of a dull red colour. The awfully grand appear-- ance of the clashing elements was observed nearly at the same time at Winchester, in the Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, &c., but earlier at Guildford, notwithstanding the wind here Was from the S.W, point; therefore, it is probable the storm was brought on by reverse winds. The mean temperature of the external air this month is comparative low, so cold a November not having been felt here since that in 11320; and it is three one third degrees lower than the mean of that month for the last nine years. There was a difference or 21?1 degrees in the mean temperature of the air between the 2d and 12th ! In conse quence of the many frosty nights and rainy days, spring water has decreased in temperature two antra half degrees this month. The maximunz temperature of the air has occurred 7 different nights, instead of in the days. The atmospheric and meteoric phenomena that have come within our oiiservation this month, are two lunar halos, fourteen meteors; two rainbows, lightning and thunder in the night of the 28th. and mortsing of the 29th; and ten gales of wind, or days on which they have prevailed, namely, two from N.E., one from S., six from S.W., and one from the West. , - " Evaporation for the month, 1.400 inches ; rain in the plu vial-) eter, near the ground, 4.725; • prevailing winds, S.W . and W.

The Market opened under a very gloomy aspect this morning, the stoppage' of Messrs. WILLIAMS, the Bankers, being generally known in the City before ten o'clock. This firm is the agent of fourteen country banks, which ne cessarily must be inconvenienced by an event so aggravating in the present distressing moment. It has been rumoured in the course of the morn ing, that the resources of these Gentlemen will enable them to resume their business in a very few days, and we shall feel extreme gratifica tion to receive a confirmation of this rumour, which the respectability of this house ren ders the universal wish of all to whom they are known. About 11 o'clock, the market was sti mulated by a report of the nank being about to re turn to the late system of advancing on deposits of stock. W have, however, learnt the result of a special application on this paint, to which a nega tive has been given on the part of the Direc tors. It is, indeed, probable, that upon any extraordinary emergency relief might be afforded to any concern of magnitude, the suspension of which would involve a large number of individuals in the consequences. The amount of bills presented yesterday at the Bank of England for discount was report ed to have been little short of six millions sterling. Of these the Bank discounted to the amount of 1,200,000. The tender of so enormous an amount of paper on Monday, which is usually a slack day in this respect, will serve to shew that the. pressure on the Money Market is absolutely without precedent. Loans on Ex chequer Bills, yesterday,—by purchases for money, and re-sale for delivery on Wednesday,— a rate of interest equal to 73 per cent. per annum was.given. Those who had the good fortune to possess means, bought Consols at 79 for Bank notes, and re-sold at 821 for. account, thus clearing 27 per cent. on the capital.—Such was the intensity of • pressure in the house, that 251. was given as a bonus to receive bank notes for a sale of 5,000 Consols instead 'of a draft, which must be passed through the clearing house—a mere saving of four hours. Exchequer Bills yesterday were depressed in a ratio beyond any other security. The price list does not quote them at a discount of more than sixty Bargains we are, however, assured were madd even at 68. Towards the close. of the ilarketi Brokers, who are in the habit of being em ployed by the Bank of England, came for , ward and purchased freely, which reduced the rate of discount to thirty-five shillings. ' From the particular individuals employed it was inferred that the Bank was taking this measure. to relieve the market. If such were the fact it presents a remarkable instance of time fluc tuation in the valu e o f th e s e 'securities. In April last the Bank were sellers of Exchequer Bills at sixty-seven s hilli ngs Premium --in Decem ber, buyers, - at 60 Discount. Consols at 1 o'clock this day were quoted 83-H. Immense sums were sent off last night, both in specie and Bank notes to the country, and it is hoped that these thnoly supplies -)ay enable the re' t pecable houses to whom they have ben SP/1 to meet the demands which the desastrous ev ent ; of yesterday and this day will naturally cre a .P .
