FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Wednesday, July 4.) , c PARIS, JULY 3.—The brigs l'Eglire and Deiten, fitted out at Nantes, have been seized on the coast of Africa by the French squadron in those seas, for violation of the laws respecting the slave trade. These two vessels have been sent into Senegal, where the affair will be investigated before the tri bunal. " Accounts received from Toulon state, that all proper measures are taken to meet with the Algerine corvette on its return from Alexandria, and that the necessary precautions for the security of French subjects in proper time has been ordered and exe cuted with equal success and promptness. " Our readers know that M. Ginstiniani, nuncio to the Pope in Spain, has been recalled at the de sire of his Catholic Majesty. \%e learn that his Holiness has just appointed this prelate his legate in the late Spanish colonies in South America, with full power for the installation of his Bishops in that country, in convent with the local authorities. " M. de Cordova, late Secretary of Legation at Paris, has just been appointed Minister of Spain to Copenhagen. " It seems that it is M. Villalba, Chief Clerk in the office, who is appointed Secretary to the Duke of San Carlos. " Monseigneur Adalbert and Skarzeuski, Arch bishop of Warsaw, and Primate of the kingdom of Poland, died on the 12th of June, aged 84. " Yesterday a violent storm, with thunder and hail, burst over the capital. The Garden of the Tuileries was covered with branches torn from the largest trees. The lightning struck the house at the corner of the. Rue Richelieu and the Boulevard Italien ; it dashed the chimney to pieces, and after wards disappeared in the Boulevard. Happily every body had sought shelter from the torrents of rain and hail, and nobody was injured. It is feared that the surrounding country has suffered severely. " The storm came up again during the night. The fact which is, perhaps, the most worthy of the attention of meteorologists this year is the co existence of the drought which threatens the harvest of the North of Europe, with inundations which ra vage the middle and the South of the Continent. In the provinces on the coast of the Baltic, it is feared that the extreme heat and the want of rain, will wither up the corn before it comes to maturity, and the same countries may, perhaps, be ravaged in the sequel, by the overflowing of the rivers, which have swelled at their source. The Elbe, in particular, is at such a height as to cause great apprehensions. " We have a letter from Havre of the 2d of July, which says— " The Great Britain, of New York, with 2,300 bales of cotton, destined for Havre, was ordered by the consignees, as soon as it arrived in the roads, to go to Liverpool.' " A letter from Naples gives most afflicting ac counts of the ravages caused by the inundations in Calabria, viz. at Reggio and it environs. Besides other torrents, the Calopinari and the St. Agatha overflowed their banks, and did immense damage, not to speak of the injury done to the finest farms, country houses, mills, &c.; and on the 6th of June the Calopinari rose in the night, destroyed seven houses, damaged ten, and obliged the inhabitants of fifty others to leave them all; those in the square of St. Philip were laid under water. The communes o f G:11/ico and Calona, the first of 885, the second of 1,770 i ' . nhabitants, were almost wholly destroyed; 17 persons perished at Gallico, and one at Calona. All the merci;•antmen and fishing-boats were dashed to pieces. I n he town of Scilla, the left side of the cathedral is rifined, the streets choked up with sand and stones, and 36 houies destroyed ; twelve persons, who were out fishing, perished. A great deal of other damage has ti,Pen done. " A. whale, the largest species, was cast on s:;.9re near Otranto, on the sth of 1V,73v. its Immense size may be imagined from the fact :bat the united efforts of six oxen and 40 men were Tequired to draw a waggon loaded merely with the skulie (From the Constitritimusd.) " We have received from the Marseilles Laza retto the following letter, which contains some very ' satisfactory news respecting Lord Cochrane's expe- "' I left the Hellas frigate on the 31st of May, off Calama, and have returned to Marseilles on board the Unicorn schooner, after a three weeks' passage. Having been in Greece during the three months which have elapsed since Lord Cochrane's arrival; and having served as an officer on board his frigate, I c an kar witness to what has passed during that time. " Lord Cochrane arrived in the Unicorn on the 17th of March. Greece was then in the greatest disorder. Anarchy svt:s at its height in the Govern ment, and in another mouth a civil war would have commenced. The firmness of Lord Cochrane hap pily put an end to the confusion. The two parties discontinued their reciprocal criminztions, and the Deputies of the different provinces cordially as sembled on the 2d of April at Damala. " The first object of Lord Cochrane was to N lieve the citadel of Athens, to raise the siege, and deliver the brave Fabvier. Nothing calculated to insure the success of the enterprise was neglected by that brave commander, aided by General Church; but the Greeks, though naturally very brave, are deficient in the discipline necessary for securing mi litary triumphs. The result of this affair is known to you. " On the 19th of May, the brave Admiral sailed from Spezzia, on board of the Hellas, which is one of the largest and finest frigates ever built. He di rect ed his course to the western coast of the Morea, and as rived on the 21st at Clarenza. We descried two small Turkish frigates off that town, but we ceuld not come up with them until half-past eight in the eveith:a.s. The attack then commenced, but the darkness o p t the night prevented us from fully availing ourselves of our advantages. The frigates escaped amidst the obscurity. We afterwards learned from an lonian vessel that one of them had tuffered severely ; that the Captain and 30 men were killed, and 70 wounded. " • On the following day, a Turkish brig, loaded with powder and provisions for the Ottoman army, was taken by a stratagem. We hoisted Austrian colours on board the frigate. The Turkish Captain came on board, and we made him prisoner. Seve ral Turkish officers of distinction, who were on board the brig, surrendered without resistance, as soon as they learned that Lord Cochrane was in person on board of the frigate. As soon as the Turkish sol diers found that they were prisoners, one of them lighted a match, and was about to apply it to the powder, and blow all up, but he was stopped in sime to prevent the ex . ecution of his project. They thought that being prisoners they would, as others had formerly been, be massacred. "' The Turks were treated with great humanity, and two days after they were set at liberty, and l a nded on the coast of the Morea, opposite Calama. Lot d Cochran e g ave their Captain two letters, one addressed to Ibrahim Pacha, and the other to Kin tahi-Pae.ha, the two Turkish comm anders. In these letter.; L ck -cl Cochrane stated, that as long as be should have ;:he command of the Greek fleet, he would treat Turi;;;sh prisoners according h to te laws of war observe d by i;:tropean nations, and thathe hoped the Turk ish commi:l.nders would act in the like manner. " I regret much that the steam-boats are not yet arrived from England. Had they been along with the frigate, the Turkish fleet, consisting of 4 ship of the line, thirty frigates and corvettes, with TAs many brigs and galleys, would before now have been repeatedly attacked, and perhaps totally de stroyed. It is to be hoped that the Greek Com mittees in Europe will unite their efforts to fit out the steam-boats, and forward them to Greece, for without them it is impossible tha t a single frigate, however great the talent and gallantry of Lord Coch rare, can triumph over the united efforts of so consi derable a fleet, to which must be added an Egyptian fleet of the same force.' (From the Quotidienne. ) Our correspondent in the Austrian capital writes to us as follows : " 6 I hasten to inform you, that the residence of the Prince Don Miguel, in this capital, is approach ing its term. Every thing is changed with respect to him, and Europe will soon learn the new destiny of the noble Infant. " THE REVENUE. No. I.

We cannot avoid expressing our regret even at this postponement, as we have reason to know that the reception of his Royal Highness would be highly flattering to his feelings, and such as the brother of our Illustrious Monarch, and a branch of the House of Brunswick, should command. The disappointment will be great, as considerable preparations were already made on his anticipated visit ; and to none more than the Corporation of Cork, who voted a large sum on Saturday last, to entertain his Royal Highness with a splendour becoming the Heir Presump tive to' the Throne of Great Britain.—Cork Constitution. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—On Thursday last a young prl, scarcely twenty years of age, re siding at Mr. Michael Lalor's, of Freshford, in this county, attempted to close her existence by means o f arsenic, which Mr. Lalor had, he thought, carefully concealed, and intended as a remedy for some diseases in the sheep. The Poor girl was induced to this act by having given her affection to a young man who not only slighted her, but gave his hand to another. — Kilkenny Independent. ,- g 5 P.', P...

We are, this day, enabled to lay before our Readers the Official Accounts of the Revenue of Great Britain in the quarter and year respec tively ended on the sth instant, which will be found in another part of our Paper. The net produce of the Revenue in this quarter has exceeded the amount of the corres-1 ponding quarter of last year, by the sum of 45,7701., and although this amount is not large, yet when we consider that the produce of the preceding quarter fell so much short of the cor responding quarter of 1826, we must consider it highly satisfactory, and indicative of that gra dual improvement in our national resources which we were led to expect. This increase has arisen under the heads of Customs and Taxes. In the latter, the increase amounts to 47,8231., and in the former to 202,5661., which proves incontestably that our foreign trade is progressively improving. A de crease of 50,1091. in the Excise ; of 18,7771. in the Stamps ; of 43,000/. in the Post. office ; a nd 92,00 Q/. in the Miscellaneous, reduces the total increase of the quarter to the before mentioned sum of 45,7701. It is true that the amount of the Revenue for the year, ended sth instant, has fallen short of the amount for the year ending, sth July, 1826, by the sum of 1,170,8321., but the total receipts of the two last quarters, are only 423,715/. less than those of the corresponding quarters of 1826 ; and, as the receipt of the quarter just terminated shews an actual increase, though not of large amount, we may reasonably entertain a hope that the two next quarters will materially lessen the decrease on the total receipts of the year. On the whole, we must view the present statements as gratifying, not so much from their actual results, as from affording just grounds for believing that our Revenue will progressively, though not, perhaps, rapidly increase from the present period. We received last night the Paris Papers of Tuesday, and the Gazette de France dated Wednesday morning. The Constitutionnel publishes a letter, detail ing the proceedings of Lord COCHRANE, i n which we find it stated that the Turkish fleet consists of one ship of the line, thirty frigates and corvettes, and as many small vessels, a force con siderably larger than has been calculated upon. A private letter from Vienna, in the Quotidi enne, alludes in a mysterious manner to the expected departure of DON MIGUEL from that capital. Every thing, it says, is changed with respect to hitn, and Europe will soon learn the destiny of the Noble Infant. The Gazette de France gives an account of a violent storm which burst over Paris on the 2d inst., and did considerable damage.

They contain no political intelli gence, but the following extract gives a most gratifying account of the extraordinary sale of English manufactures at the late Leipsic Fair. OUT Spitalfields goods appear to h ave sue' cessfully competed with the silks of Lyons. Aucanuna, JUNE 29.—The Supplement to the 4119 e" mein Zeitung of this date gives, in the continuation of its reports on the late Leipsic fair, the following accounts of some of the English manufactures. After obs e rving that the weavers of Sp4lfields already rival the variegated articles of Lyons, and that the peptnission to import French silks, at first looked upon in England itself with so m uch jealousy, had no less in view than in the end to m a k e the French goods entirely superfluous--the Report proceeds-- " The dealers in English manufactures and cottons made extraordinary sales, and entirely outdid the Saxon and other Continental manufactures. They surprised and at tracted the buyers by many new and beautiful patterns. The manufacturers at London, Manchester, Paisley, Glas gow, and Leeds, had obtained, by the free importation of the silks of Lyons, the newest and most elegant patterns which are continually invented by the Lyons pattern designers. The beautiful dressing and the extraordinary cheapness in the purchase of the yarn and the sen ra d w in m a a l - 1 terial were likewise very favourable to t hem. Hence the fine English prints, of which there w ere suc h a pro fusion at Leipsic, in this fair, were so tempt in g . Tw o grea t Jewish Houses from Hamburgh were obliged to haste to that city for a fresh supply, and when thes e goo d s came in eight extra carriages with the post from Magdeburg, they were soon disposed of. We cannot positively affirm what was stated by some ofthe partners in the above house, whether it was possible,by the inc,-eased rap idity o f communication by steam-boats, to procure new supplies of g oods from London during the last week of the fair, for which orders were sent from Leipsic only at the beginning of the week b e .. fore ? The checked patterns are still the favourites, but in a thousand pleasing varieties. These are called on the Continent Walter Scotts, though at Edinburgh nobody knows any thing of this almost absurd denomination. It is to be remembered, that all these manufactured articles receive, on exportation, a drawback of eight or ten shil lings, which is paid at the Custom-house. It i$ Strange, v% that notwithstanding the high duty and the active manu facture at home, the importation of fine Swiss and French printed calicoes into England continues to increase. This overflow of English goods was of course very injurious to Saxon manufacturers. Only some eminent houses, such as Pflugbeil and Co., and others in the Saxon Ergebrige, could count on a certain sale, as they had means at their command to make good articles and fine patterns, for all indifferent goods tended only to punish the ill-judged specu lation. The hosiery of Chemnitz and Hohenstein was in rather more request, because the manufacturers use the iron looms for their finest cotton stockings, and that gives them the elasticity which distinguishes the English." We mentioned in our City article yesterday, that at the breaking up of the Weekly Court of Directors of the Bank of England, late in the afternoon, the important communication was made that the Bank would, from this day, dis count at 4/. instead of 5/. per cent. The effect of this communication upon the Money Market was very great, Consols immediately advancing from 861 to 88-}, and it may be expected to have a considerable influence with respect to the prices of various other descriptions of property. It will not be deemed presumptuous in us to question the policy of this measure when we find that it was resolved upon by a majority of only one Bank Director ; and although we should be sorry to have it supposed that we would wish to insinuate that the decision of the majority may have been influenced more by motives of per sonal advantage, than by a due consideration of the interests of the great Establishment under their controul, it is not impossible that such motives may have had some little in fluence in the adoption of a measure to which the most experienced Directors had the strongest objections. Whether, however, the measure may or may not be advantageous to the Bank itself, we cannot but apprehend that it may be productive of ultimate injury to the nation at large, by unduly increasing the circulating me dium, and consequently enhancing prices—sub jecting us, too, to the possibility of some violent revulsion, in the event of political or other cir cumstances occurring to render it necessary for the Bank again to reduce its circulation, and alter the rate of discount. But our strongest objec tion to the measure arises from the mode in which it is carried into effect, and to the power which thus exists in twenty-four men to alter the value of every man's property in the country, by a resolution which may be revoked in the following week. If we recollect right, on the former occasion when the Bank reduced its rate of discount, notice was given that at a time, then some months distant, such a measure would be carried into effect. On the present occasion, the Resolution passes one day and is to be acted upon the next,—thus undoubtedly giving a pretext to some of those scandalous in sinuations as to the purity of the motives which have influenced the deelslolr. of' %Uwe. 101.1r11z r wlour, b WISZOh, w. h.vv no doubt, are entirely with out foundation. All inettNureb, the tendency of which is to oc casion sudden and violent fluctuations in the value of every description of property, are to be deprecated, and as in the present posture of po litical affairs, circumstances may arise which would oblige the Directors to retrace their steps, we think they would have acted with more caution and prudence if they had followed their forme/ precedent, in notifying their intention to discount at 4 per cent. at the expiration of three or six months, provided events did not in the mean time arise to induce them to depart from their deter mination. Power, used as the Bank Directors have exercised it, is injurious both to individuals and to the community at large. We received, this morning, the St. Peters burg Journal, of the 19th June, detailing some further operations of the Russian army against the Persians. NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN GEORGIA. PETERSBURGH, JUNE 19. General Paskewitsch, on his arrival at the port of Akzebeoux, on the 16th (28th) May, transmits the follow ing details of the military operations On the 16th, Colonel Baron Fredericks, the Emperor's Aide-de-Camp, had been sent at the head of a part of the troops of General Benkendorff to reconnoitre. At the dis tance of five wersta from the camp he was attacked on the road to Nakhirchevan by Hassan Khan, with 2 or 3,000 cavalry, who, however, could not hinder him from passing th e river Garnitchai. General Benkendorff, being informed of the assembling of the enemy's cavalry at one spot, marched against it on the sth (17th) with 1,000 cossacks and a company of grenadiers ; but did not meet with Hassan Khan, who had fallen back on Sardarabad, leaving Naghi Khan, with 400 karapapaks. On the approach of the cossacks the latter gave way, and fled into the mountains. General Benkendorff passed the Garnitchai, but the parties which were sent out in all directions, not meeting with the enemy, have returned to his position before Erman. On the 20th having learned that the enemy's cavalry, in considerable numbers, was again advancing from Sardarabad to its first position near the Zanga, General Benkendorff resolved to attack them the following morning. In consequence he set out at ten in the evening, with 1,200.. cossacks, a part of the regiment of infantry of Tiflis, and of that of Georgia, and one piece of cannon. Arriving at day-break on the Zanga, after having passed during the night through the village of Alakhanla, our troops perceived the enemy posted on the other its junction of th a t r i ver , a t a sho r t di s tance from junction with the Araxes. The river being much swollen, and the fire of the enemy's tiralleurs not permitting us to attack the position unawares, General Benkendorff as.. tended the river and swam across it with his cavalry, and a company of the regiment of Tiflis, in order to destroy the enemy's but the Persians hastened to fall back on the left, passed cavalry in the angle which they occupied, the Aberan between the villages of Senti and Scholli, and formed in a body on the other side of that river. After some discharges of musketry en both sides, Colonel Karp. hoff, with his regiment, swam across the river, impe tuously attack e d th e numero us forces of the enemy, and threw them int o con f us i on . The regiments of cossacks of the Black Sea, and two companies of that of the Don of Andrieff, also passed the river, and pursued the enemy flying along the left bank of the Araxes, till under the walls of Sardarabad, where part of his cavalry sought protection, while the other part continued to fly towards the Turkish frontiers. For a distance of 25 wersta the road wa s covered with the killed, and blocked up by the horses I and baggage of the enemy's camp, as well as the private baggage of Hassan Khan. All the horsemen who attempted to cross the Arms were drowned. In this action we took 53 prisoners, all severely wounded, among whom were Kelescb, Aga of Kourtine ; and Ali Mirza Ogli, Aga Tchebok of Karagbi. The enemy had SOO men killed or drowned, among whom were Izniandor, Sultan Tchebok of Karaghi ; Temiraz, Aga of Karapapak ; and Mustapha bek, of Khoi. On our side we lost Captain Iliachensko, of the 4th Regiment of the cossacks of the Black Sea; and one cossack of the Regiment Andrieff, of tha Don. Two cossacks of the Ist and 4th Regiments of the Black Sea were wounded. Hassan Khan was indebted for his safety only to the swiftness of his horse. Asian Sultan, of the Schadlines, has sent to declare that be, and the families subject to him, did not consent to the emigration to the other side of the Araxes, to which the Persian Government wanted to compel them, and that he had fortified himself in the castle of Asian Kai, near Lake Gokteha. The Sardar has sent to the town of Kazbine all his va luable effects, and even the golden crescent of the Mosque of Erivan, which makes the inhabitants presume that he does not expect to preserve that fortress. A report is even spread that he intended to evacuate it. . . It is said also that troubles have broken out in Khora san, and on the frontiers of the Afghans. Major-General Pancratieff still occupies the old positions of the detachment of Karabagh. The following are extracts from the Brussels Papers of the sth inst.:— ODESSA, JUNE 6. Sixty-five ships have arrived here since the 25th ult., and the number is daily increased by fresh arrivals. The price of wheat has risen in consequence, and that of the first quality is now sold at 14 rubles per chetwert. Dry wheat is sold in the waggons ; after having been taken to the warehouses to be cleaned with the sieve, it is immediately sent on board the ships. COLOGNE, JULY 1. The Government at Dusseldorf has issued the following notice : His Majesty, in consequence of an event which has come to his knowledge, has ordered the strict observance of the prohibitions, to preach any sermon of a controver sial nature, either in the Protestant or Catholic Churches of the Monarchy, and to prosecute, without indulgence, the Clergy who may ♦iolate it. In making the Clergy of the several Churches acquaint. ed with the Royal Order, we expect that they will carefully avoid in their public discourses, all expressions which might disturb the harmony and peace existing among the members of the different Churches, and which would be contrary to the spirit of the gospel, and to Christian to lerance. GHENT, JULY 1. On the 29th the Royal Society of Agriculture and Botany gave their prizes to the proprietors of the plants ex hibited to which they had been adjudged. On this occa sion we observed a cypress with inscriptions, expressing the regret of the Society for the loss it had sustained in the last twelve months by the deaths of M. de Coninck, formerly Minister of the Interior, M. Fermondt, and the Marquis of Hastings, formerly Lord Moira. The Marchioness of Hastings has been for some days at Ghent. She doubtless was ignorant that the late Cover vor-General of India had been a member of the Society and one of the benefactors of the Botanic Garden, and the Directors of the Society on their part did not know that her Ladyship was in this City, going to the Exhibition-room with her family. She was much affected at seeing the ex pression of the gratitude of the Society. It seems that her Ladyship, with her numerous family and suite, will make some stay here, having hired the spacious house built in the parade by M. Dracq, his Majesty's Chamberlain. An Express has arrived from Paris with the Wednesday's prices of the Rentes :—Three per Cents. 72f. 25c. 30c. The above Express does not bring any news—all was quiet there. Halifax Papers to the 16th June inclusive have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house : they inform► us that the vessel belonging to the Lessees of the Crown Mines, in that province, under the firm of the Annapolis Iron Mining Company, had arrived at Pictou, containing upwards of SOO tons of machinery, implements, &c., and above 85 skilful and experienced miners, engi neers, and mechanics ; and a notice from the Provincial Se cretary's Office calls upon all persons to lend to the agents and directors every reasonable facility and assistance in the great usulertaking. The attention of this Company will chiefly be directed to the raising of vast quantities of coal. These mines will also supply immense quantities of iron and in a short time they will cease to import from England pig iron for their founderies. Messrs. Runde], Bridge, and Runde?, appear to be prominent parties in the spe culation, which buts fair to answer the object in view, of profitable employment for the people, and will add to the do mestic comfort of the inhabitants. Some expectation seems to be entertained that, in addition to coal and iron, copper will also be found. These mines appear to have been granted, in the first instance, to his late Royal Highness the Duke of York, and by him have been sub-leased to Messrs. RundeL It is calculated that the demand for these articles in the province will be almost to an unlimited extent. New Brunswick Papers to the Bth June inclusive have been received at the Norf.). and South American Coffee house ; accounts have been received from Prince Edward's Island of the 22d May, which mention the arrival of Lord Valentia, accompanied by Dr. Hacket, on the Saturday pre ceding in a pilot2l;oat, from Shediac. Colonel Cockburn was understood to proceed from thence some distance farther to the westward, and would afterwards return along the coast of Pictou, where the Chebucto is waiting to bring him to this island. The Lieut.-Governor of New Bruns wick, under date 24th May, issued a Proclamation, proroguing the General Assembly of the Province to the second Tuesday in June. These Papers contain regulations, and the terms on which lands will be granted to emigrants, one of which limits, that no lot shall exceed 1,200 estimated acres. The Government autho rities seem to be entirely employed in the improvement of their valuable possessions, to which the strong tide of emi gration which has set in to this quarter will add very con siderably. The Favoran, Captain Maon, with 250 pas sengers, had arrived at St. Andrew's Point, and was under quarantine, in consequence of some few cases of fever on board. Letters from Genoa of the 27th ultimo, confirm the ac counts we gave yesterday from Messina, of the destructive effects produced by the hurricane on that coast on the sth and 7th ultimo ; and which, we learn, reached the Cala brian Coast. Ten vessels were wrecked, among them two Neapolitans, a Sicilian, a Sardinian, and several fishing boats; part of the crews of which were lost. A paragraph appeared some days ago in the Times and other Papers, stating that all the houses in the Regent's Park are infested with bugs, and were originally built with American timber. We are enabled, from our own know ledge, to contradict the statement as respects the bugs, and have reason to believe that Mr. NURSE, who built above a hundred of those houses, and the other respectable builders con cerned, never employed any but Baltic timber. We beg to direct the attention of our readers to a case of very peculiar distress advertised in a preceding column. To the charitably disposed, we know of no case more deserv ing their compassion. We say this from a personal knowledge of Mr. DUNNE, whose calamity is bitterly enhanced by the recollection that his wife was very near her confinement. THE HAY HARVEST.—It affords us sincere satisfaction to state, that although the changeable weather last week somewhat suspended the operations of the mowers in this neighbourhood, and threatened injury to the grass already cut, a few fine days since have caused a g eneral an d ardent resumption of the scythe. A cons iderable q uan tity of bay has , in consequence, been already g ot in, p er fectly safe, and the rest of the crop is now rap idl y adva ncing to the s ame a co o n d di e t x io ee n. lleo T t h i e n i p •e pi i y s othfutshe principal article of every prospect o f an abundant dry fodder during the next winter an d spring; and plenty of good food for cattle is usually a sure earnest of plenty of good food for man.—Leeds Intelligences. The meal market was slightly affected by the late extensive arrivals of grain at Leith. It will be see° from the report that business was dull yesterday, and prices were down a penny a peek.—.Scotenan. k I THE FUNDS-(TIIIS DAY). CITY, Twelve o' Clock. Yesterday afternooon, when it became known that the Bank had come to the determination of reducing their rate of discountifrom 5 to 4 per cent., the Money Market be came instantly in a state of bustle and confusion, such as we have seldom seen, and never certainly exceeded on any occasion ; an instant advanr.T in the British Funds took ' place, not in I but of 1 and per cent. at a time, and be fore the close of the market Consols had risen to 81, and in the Alley to 881. This morning, long befoic th: usual hour of opening, the English Stock Exchange had a full attendance, and Consols opened at 88i ; ..2.e market has since then continued in a • violent and agitated state, so much so as to render it qa ite impossible to follow the different turns which have to ken place. Some idea may, however, be formed from the fact, that they have been done at 881, and as low as B',7l—rose from the latter to 881, and are now 871 1. lii the City, the effects of the above measure is canvassed very freely, and the benefit to the public arising therefrom ate by many deemed extremely equivocal, without any substantial benefit to the Bank itself; and they add the increas” of discount will not be of any moment, as good bills cam be done at the private bankers at from Sto 31 per mot. Some augur an imme diate rise in all the necessaries of life, already too high, and au increase of speculation from wihich the country generally has so long and severely suffered ; there are not wanting those who consider the alteration as a dangerous experi ment, and say it was not the general but divided wish of the, Directors that this measure should be carried into effect•l and report says some resignations may be expected of old Directors in consequence. India Bonds rose to 87 9, and Exchequer Bills to 57 9 pm. From the same important notice every security in the Foreign Funds has risen, with the exception of Greek and Spanish Bonds; Russian are 94 ; Danish, 631 ; can 6 per Cent., 681 91 ; Brazilian, 60 1 ; and Buenos 1 Ayres, 62 3 ; Colombian are 31 The chief business ; in the Foreign Securities has been in Russian, Danish, and Mexican ; but it has not been to any isnpor tent extent, the English market having attracted the chief attention of speculators. Shares remain in the same heavy state, and little or no alteration has taken place in the quotations. Three per Cent.

(London Sittings, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.) The Court was occupied, this morning, in disposing of Common Jury Causes, none of which possessed any graeral interest. CONSISTORY COURT. BRISCOE V. BRISCOE. Sir C. ROBINSON this day proceeded to state the ground` of his refusal to the application made by Dr. Lee, to be ptr mitted to see the taxed bills of costs in the case of Briscoe v. Briscoe. Dr. Lee had insisted upon his right to see the records lodged in the registry, in the triple character of a judge in the cause of Briscoe v. Briscoe, practitioner of , the Court, and one of the public. The unlimited manner in which this supposed right was laid down by Dr. Lee *as, in the opinion of the Court quite inconsistent with thesafe custody of the papers lodged in the hands of the Register : for if the records were open to one individual as a rght, they must be open to all persons. Upon the ground Ot being inconsistent with security, therefore, the Court could not sanction the proposition of Dr. Lee which was alt) ob jectionable on other grounds. It was frequently desrable s that the records of judicial proceedings, originating h the themshould left at rest, unles s th e üblio to be dragged i n t o li g ht. S a t h a t Interest requi red if a party in a cause desired to see the records after thajudi cial proceedings terminated, they would have no right. If the right of Dr. Lee was inconsistent, the Court could see nothing in his motive which ought to educe it to accede to his proposition. The alleged object of the application was to impeach the proceedings of the Re. clesiastical Courts for 14 years, and by some meats to oblige the Judges, Counsel, and Proctors, engaged in the cause, to bear the expence of those prospective proceedings. There was so much extravagance in this notion, that •11. (Sir Christopher Robinson) could not conceive ha it could enter into' any reasonable mind. The obje c t of Dr. Lee was to implicate all parties, judicial and profit' colonel ; and it was hard for him to advert to such an objet in those terms of respect which he wished to give to the' application. The application was wholly gratuitous, for the case was wholly disposed of, the High Court of Dele gates having decided that both parties were implicated in criminal habits, and therefore dismissed the suit. The Proctors representing the parties were satisfied with that decision ; and the individual who made the application might have been satisfied too. At all events, he (Sir C. Ro binson) should consider himself extremely culpable, if be facilitated those exparte proceedings which Dr. Lee evree sed a desire to prosecute, and should therefore content himself with expressing his approbation of the condtct of the Registrar, and his rejection of the application made by Dr. Lee.—The Court then adjourned. EXECUTIONS.-(THIS MORNING.) George Condell, for burglary, and George Watiger, for colouring base coin, were executed this morning in front of the Debtor's door, Newgate. Warner had for some time expected a commutation of his sentence, founded on the plea that he had done his best to prevent a murder, which took place in Heron's Bay, on the body of a Revoue officer. He had consequently indulged in an occasional levity but ill in accordance with his situation, till late last night, when his whole manner underwent a striking change ; the probability of his death seemed to come home with more impressiveness to his feelings, and for the first time he admitted seriously the dreadful idea.—Condell'a de meanour, from the period of his sentence being pronounced, was resigned, thoughtful, and submissive; he very speedily resigned himself—as far, at least, as the natural elasticity of the mind will allow—to death ; and listened to the exhortations of his spiritual advisers with the most fervent and unaffected sincerity. At an early hour preparations were made for the execu tions. The Sheriffs arrived at the usual period ; rheas Warner, placed on a hurdle, with the executioner n ut t e d before him, (a drawn sword in his hand,) moved first in the melancholy procession ; Condell immediately followed, ' while the tolling of a neighbouring church bell informed the prisoners how many minutes they had yet to 1ive..,.. On reaching the scaffold they were placed directly under the beams, the ropes were then adjusted, and the different officers came to bid them a last farewell. Warner's look at this moment was inexpressible. H e had evidently made up his mind for the worst, and considered himself no longer of this world ; but the pressure of the Sheriffs' hands, and the low faultering voice of his companion in guilt, called back all the f eelings of the man; nature prevailed— and he burst into tears. Condell evinced less sensibility, but more composed piety. He too was affected, as his the c ustomary cwpri ts hand for the last time grasped Warner's ; but the struggle wa s merely mom en t ary . Aft er th e service was co nc l u d e d, sence of a silent, respectful, but by no means numerous multitude. sign a l Nver m e 'a l s aunh given, ced into eternity, i n th e pre the trap fell, and the un fortunate i 4 s Mr. MAcnEA D y took his f arewe ll B en efit at the Park Theatr e , N e w York, the beginning of the last month, upon which occasion he delivered an appropriate Add e i s ; FosTort, the hi g hly accomplished and delightful performer on the pianoforte, received the Silver Medal at the distribution of prizes at the Hanover-square Rooms on Tuesday, for c omposition and harmony.

The herring fishing has been going on for some time in the West Highland lochs and along the west coast. It is also commenced on the coast of Ireland, and last week herrings were retailed in Belfast at 9d. and 10d. a dozen.— Scotsman.
