FRANKFORT, JULY h.—According to the latest ac counts from Vienna, the cholera morbus was no more than forty-four miles from that capital. Pesth was surrounded by a cordon, and at length it was felt necessary to take at Vienna also more serious measures of precaution. The Emperor is resolved, whatever may happen, not to leave the city ; he continues to reside among his faithful citizens of Vienna, whose spirits would certainly be depressed by his departure. lie has intimated to the Members of the imperial Family that he wishes them to follow his ex ample. On the other band, all the public functionaries have received orders not to absent themselves from their posts ; none of them can now obtain temporary leave of absence or a passport. A sanatory cordon, composed of 36,000 chosen troop., is to protect the capital, if possible, against the inroads of this scourge, and in order to prevent the scarcity of provisions which might ensue from this kind of seclusion, the bakers are ordered to lav in corn sufficient for the consumption of the inhabitants . for three months. The establishments called Josephinum and Theresianum are going to be converted into hospitals. Experience hav ing shown that the Jews, from their want of cleanliness and their mode of life, are peculiar susceptible of contagion, no Jew corning from Poland is permitted to pass through Brunn in Moravia ; while at Prague, Pesth, and probably before long at Vienna also, they are expelled from the closely 'milt quarters, where they are crowded in too great num bers, and which the police causes to be purified. The letters from Brody say, that the disorder had en• tirely ceased there, but it continued to rage in Lemberg, where there are fifty or sixty deaths daily. At Frankfort we are beginning to take measures of pre caution, in case the cholera should reach us. A house of quarantine is to be fitted up for strangers coming from sus pected places, and an hospital for those who may be at tacked by the disorder. (From the Messager des Chambres of July 24.) BarsT, JULY 20.—Queen Donna Maria has set out to-cl ty on her way to Cherbourg. Her Majesty will sleep at Dinan to-night, and to-morrow, the 21st, will probably arrive at St. Malo, where it is said preparations are made to receive her in a manner suitable to her rank. Pousn FRONTIERS, JULY 12.—1 t is affirmed that Field-Marshal Paskewitsch held a council of war on the 3d instant, to learn the precise situation of the Russian army, and to collect plans for the campaign, formed by the most experienced Generale. After having ascertained the small progress of the Li thuanian insurrection, and the good condition of the Russian army, which consists of 62,000 infantry, and 15,000 cavalry, it was resolved to commence vigorous offensive operations, and to pass the Vistula without delay, ' to obtain possession of Warsaw. The pi in was to be carried into effect on the 11th. In a few days great events will take place, and Field-Marshal Paskewit.ch will give the first specimen of his military talents on Polish ground. It is affirmed that, on quitting St. Peter burgh, he pro mised to do his utmost to crush the Polish insurrection, but without charging himself with any responsibility in case of failure. Thus it may be inferred, from the well known character of the Field-Marshal, that in some way or other the war is drawing to a close ; for if he succeeds, he has attained his end, and fulfilled his engagements; otherwise the Field-Marshal will be the first to act as mediator between Poland and the Emperor, and put an end to hostilities. By placing Count Paskewitsch at the head of the army, Russia has staked all its military glory; if the chances of war should be less favourable to the General-in-Chief than in Asia, the brilliant era of Russia will have closed. HAMBURG PAPER-S. ME]raL, Juts 13.—As soon as information was re ceived here that the Polish General, Gielgud, with a part of his troops, had entered the Prussian territory, M. Van Auerswald, the Magistrate of the district, immediately re paired to Laugallen, and summoned the General to return across the frontier. The latter pretended to have been compelled by necessity to seek protection upon Prussian ground. The immediate necessity did not appear very evident, but as the General appealed to the humanity of the Prussian authorities, and offered to be regulated by their direction., it was not possible to refuse the protection sought for. In the mean time other troops, who had pre viously been perceived coming out of the forest of Gamlen, approached the frontier ; the Poles who were with General Gielgud (about 700 men and eight pieces of cannon) re cognized them as comrades, but the two Commanders, it was evident, were immediately engaged in a warm dispute. Among Gielgud's troops murmurs arose; several returned to their friends on the opposite side of the frontier, and an officer dashed across, having shot Gielgud, surrounded as he was by his statT. This act of assassination excited the utmost indignation among the troops, already in a bad state of subordination, awl it is now difficult to keep them i n order. General Chrapowski is at the quarantine station at Laugallen. POLISH FRONTIERS, JULY 16,—Accounts from Slue zewo state that that place was occupied the day before yes terday by 200 Cossacks. On the left aide of the Vistula a strong Russian corps occupies Nieszawa, Racioncezk, Lubiazuik, and several other places. Marshal Paskewitsch remained, however, hut a short time upon the point where the passage was effected ; for having received information that the Polish Commander-in -Chief had approached the Naresv, the Marshal thought proper to return to his head quarters at Lipno. (From the Konigsberg Gazette.) KoNIGSBERG, JULY 14.—His Excellency General Von Kraft set out last night for Memel, to direct in person the disarming of Gielgud's corps. According to the more de tailed accounts, General Gielgud, with his corps of about 2,000 men, and twelve cannon, arrived about noon at Schaugasten, in the Prussian territory, and declared that he sought protection, and would submit to the legal or ders of our authorities. The soldiers were quartered for the present:in the frontier village of Schaugasten and Laugallen. On the 6th of July there was a trifling action near Ito gallen, in which the Russian troops took from the insur gents 200 prisoners, and two cannon : 200 of the insur gents were killed. The Poles retreated on the 7th through Rosaienna, leaving behind many sick and wounded. The Committee of Government at Rossienna went to meet the Russian troops as they entered, and again took the oath of allegiance to the Emperor.—Prussian State Gazette, July 20. STOCKHOLM, JULY 15.—Great exertions are making here to prepare hospitals for . the cholera patients. In Riga, from the 3d to the 9th instant, there were 32 , 4 fresh cases of sickness, 379 of recovery, and 79 deaths. The Emperor has granted a stun of money to the nume rous orphans whose parents have been snatched away. As the cholera seldom attacks children, the number that are left fatherless in a place where the malady has raged is always great. In Warsaw, from the 6th to the 10th instant, there were 55 fresh eases of sickness. The Nuremberg Correspondent contains an address to the Emperor of Austria, presented by one of the Hun. garian countie , , and couched in much stronger and bolder language than any of those previously published. HAMBURG, JULY 22...-..HORSEN HALLS.—The supply of Wheat has again been very limited. A few cargoes were for exportation on foreign account, Rye continues heavy, our own consumers keeping out of the market.

NEW YORK PAPERS . FltO3r LA PLATA._We have receiv e d from a cor respondent at Buenos Ayres the British Packet of April :30. Official accounts from General Quiro g a are published to the sth of April, when he was at Mendoza, having gained a victory on the 2Stli of March, four leagues beyond Punto de lag Catitas, over 2,100 men, , commanded by General J. V. Castillo. lie charged diem withand pikes , killed many, took 100 pri.soners, and 20 officers, di persed the remainder. The enemy's boasted cavalry - batta. lion of Cazadores de l Pilar dissolved itself, and the com manders fled. The infantry sheltered themselves, alter re treating to the river Tunnyan. Quiraga proclaims firmness, but Lumsnity and patriotism. He offered liberty to his T o loners of the infantry, but they joined his standard. Brizuela and Tello, two of his officers, had been successful: tie former was at Tama, on March 26, having occupied the capital of Rioja on the 22d of February, while the latter had taken possession of the department of Famatina. Brizuela was app o i n t e d General of the troops of Rioja. General Quiroga writes, that the Commandant P. Torres, in pursuing the enemy into Chili, had gone from Mendoza to the foot of the Cordillera in two days. [lt is to be remembered that the scene of the above war fare is 900 miles from Buenos Ayres.] From Lopct's army we learn, that Colonel Ibarra marched on the 6th, with 200 cavalry, to occupy the north of the province of Cordova ; and that Colonel Espinosa, with the division of Don Manuel Lopez, was on the Rlo Terceiro, with 600 cavalry. Colonel Sosa was near the army of General Paz, and ex pecting the infantry of reserve from San Nicholas to attack General Paz's army. The latter, it is stated, was stationed between the Villa de los Ranchos and El Pilar. Colonel Espinosa has routed and completely dispersed a division of 400 of the cavalry of General Paz. The news received on the 27th of April of the revolu tion in Brazil caused much astonishment in Buenos Ayres. (From the Washington Journal.) It is rumoured that other dissentiona are about rising among the friends of General Jackson. It is said that it it has reached the ears of the President, that he has been completely gulled by Van Buren,—that in consequence of a letter received by the latter from Mr. IsPLane, intimating hi• wish to retire from London, and suggesting to the Secretary his filling the vacancy in propria persona, the latter proceeded to operate upon the " old man" to procure the removal of the Secretary at War, offering to make the sacrifice of resigning himself, and taking the embassy to London. An unfortunate disclosure of the contents of the private letter kas developed the whole in trigue ; and it is believed Van Buren will not be per mitted to go to England, and Mr. M'Lane will not be ad mitted into the Cabinet. So we go. (From a Carthagena Paper of June 1.) COLOMBIA.—A list of persons exiled from Colombia for offences against the Constitutional Government.

Some even go so far as to say that he is mad ; hut no credit is placed upon this assertion. For nearly a fortnight previous to the departure of the army Skrsynecki was always engaged in his closet, and was only seen by his principal officers, Yesterday we received the most interesting, and certainly not the least important news, which was an authentic account from the Berlin papers of the death of the Grand Duke Constan tine. He died at Witepsk on the 27th ult., after an illness of nine hours, but of what disease it is not. known. At present the most prevalent belief is that he has died from poison. The news has caused a great sensation here. No one entertained a doubt as to the truth of the account, as it has appeared officially in the Berlin papers. The cholera morbus, I am sorry to say, has much in• creased since I last wrote. Two Englishmen, who have been long resident here, fell victims to its fatal influence. About a week ago I met one of them in the street, Mr. J-nes, a gentlemau who was residing with Mr. Evans, an English merchant here, and who was generally respected —I may say beloved—by all who ktew him. I met him about seven o'clock in the evening, whe❑ he seemed in perfect health. In little more, however, than thirty hours from that time, he had been attacked by the disease, had died, and was buried ! He was seized about eleven o'clock in the evening, and died in twelve hours afterwards. An English surgeon, who arrived here about a fortnight ago, has also hail the disease, but he is, I am happy to say, now perfectly convalescent. When I said in my last letter that bleeding had been detrimental in the treatment of this fatal disease, I ought to have mentioned that it is only so in those cases which generally come into the hospital, and which have passed the first stage. If the patient is seen in the very com mencement, and is bled, and an emetic administered, in all probability his life will be saved. But it is most fre quently allowed to exist too long before medical aid is procured. ,... LITERATURE. WA VERLEY NOVELS, VOL. XX VII.

SlR,—The shameful indifference of Members of Parlia ment in absenting themselves on divisions on the Reform Bill appearing to me to require some other means of keep ing them at their post than have hitherto been adopted, I beg to suggest whether it would not be better to publish the names of those who are absent rather than of those who are preseut.—Yours, M. REFORM BILL.-COVENTRY, JULY 25.- The delays in the progress of the Reform Bill begin to excite considerable apprehensions, and the people have be come perfectly nauseated with the fifty-times•repeated tale of the boroughmongers, who may fancy that the desire for the accomplishment of the " great maasure" is decreasing. They are, however, much mistaken ; the patience of the people of England is proverbial, but there is a limit even to that. On Friday evening last a public locating was held here at the Political Union Rooms, when a petition was agreed upon to the House of Commons, requesting it to adopt snore energetic measures for the speedily p ass i ng the Bill through that House. The petition lay for signa tures at various places yesterday for about ten hours, when upwards of 3,400 names were attached to it, without any ether means being adopted than by a hand-bill com municating the circumstance to the inhabitants. The petition is to be presented by our Members, Messrs. ELLICE and BuLwEo. The following requisition is in course of sig nature :—" To the Right Worshipful the MAYoa of Exe ter. Sir, We, the undersigned freemen, freeholders, and inhabitants of the city and county of Exeter, request that yo;4 will be pleased to convene a meeting of freemen, free holders, and inhabitants of the said city and county, at your earliest convenience, to consider the propriety of pe titioning Parliament to pass the Reform Bill of his MA.• IVSTY'II 'Ministers with all possible expedition, in order to put an end to the vexatious opposition now carried on against thin salutary measure, which opposition appears to the requisitionist:, to be highly derogatory to the dignity of Parliament, detrimental to the necessary and urgent busi ness of the State, and most inimical to the commercial wel fare of the nation."— Western Timed. Mrs. SIDDONS, during many years of the latter period of her life, in her hours of leisure, was em ployed in writing her own memoirs ; and at her death left sixty or seventy of what are called copy-book, entirely tilled with manuscripts relating to herself, and dramatic history in general—from 1732, when she first appeared in the character of Isabella at Drury-Lane, until she retired from the stage at Covent-Garden. Mrs. Swoons has likewise left many interesting letters, which at different periods were addressed to her by the most eminent indivi dnils who figured in the world within the last sixty years. All of :od4cli, together with the memoir., have, we under,- stand, been gig to CAMPBELL, the poet, by Miss Stn. miss, to enable him to j...omplete the life of undoubtedly the greatest tragic actress of this pr any other country.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 26, 1831. Nothing of particular importance occurred in either House last night. In the Lords, the Bishop of BATH and WELLS complained of the demoralizing effects of the Beer Bill, and the Earl of ABERDEEN announced his intention of putting some questions to Ministers this even ing, on the subject of the French KING'S speech. In the Commons, after some observa tions from Mr. O'CONNELL on the state of Ireland, the Marquis of CIIANDOS enquired of Ministers whether they had sanctioned the destruction of the Belgian fortresses, as an nounced in the French KING'S Speech. Lord ALTHORP replied, that it had been agreed, on certain conditions, that some of those for tresses should be destroyed; and Lord JOHN RUSSELL added, that such destruction would not take place till after the recognition of the King of the BELGIANS by all the Great Powers. The question of demolition is one replete with difficulties, involving many complicated interests. Some further questions were then put on the subject of Portugal, after which the House re solved itself into a Committee of Supply, and Mr. S. RICE brought forward the Miscel laneous Estimates, one of which—that respect ing the Consular establishments—occasioned much discussion. The country, as we hinted yesterday, is be ginning to evince symptoms of restlessness and dissatisfaction at the slow progress of the Re form Bill. At Coventry a petition, earnestly but respectfully intreating Ministers to carry it for ward with more energy and expedition, received, in the course of a few hours, upwards of three thousand signatures, though no particular exer tions were used to induce people to affix their names to the petition ; and in the West of Eng land, at Exeter and some few of the adjoining parishes, the principal inhabitants have resolved to _meet and petition Parliament with a similar intent. In the course of a few days, if Govern ment do not show a bolder front, and urge their measure with more pluck—for whom, or what, can they fear, when the country to a man is with them ?—such meetings will become general from one end of the kingdom to the other. The Birmingham Union will rouse itself—the numerous Branch Unions throughout the North will awake, and in Scotland particularly, the people will begin to express themselves in a style and fashion by no means equivocal. Nor can we be surprised at this. The late Parliament was dissolved for the express reason that it was refractory, and threw vexatious obstacles in the way of the Reform Bill; and yet, here we are, with a new Parliament consisting almost wholly of Reformers, chosen by the people, pledged unfathomably deep to them, for the sole purpose of carrying the Bill, at the end of the second week, nineteen from the bottom of the very first schedule ! if the measure proceed at this snail-like pace, the Christmas of 1832 will have come and gone, before the measure is carried even through the House of Commons. It will then have to be debated and thwarted, and opposed in the Lords ; so that God only knows when it will be brought to a termination ! We perfectly agree with a Morning Cotemporary that a call of the House should be insisted on day by day, and nothing be permitted to excuse the attendance of Members but duly certificated physical inca pacity. A list of the Absentees should also be daily published ; for a question like this, of overwhelming moment to Great Britain, as well as to Europe, must be dealt with according to its importance. It is not a Turnpike Act for Members to fall asleep over. In a word, it is high time that the country should be enabled to distinguish its friends from its foes. We take for granted, that the remaining boroughs of schedule A will be disposed of to-night. We have no further accounts from Poland that can be depended on. It is confidently stated that General GIELGUD had laid down his arms on Prussian ground—and that the battle be tween the main armies on the Vistula was daily expected. German Papers, received this morning, con firm previous accounts that Austria had sus pended her military operations for the present, and was taking active measures for arresting the progress of the cholera morbus. This fatal disease continued to spread with great violence, and even threatened Vienna, from which it was only 44 miles distant. Its ravages in Gallicia were deplorably extensive, upwards of 14,50 0 persons having fallen a sacrifice up to the `5L 1.1 June, while a great number remained on the sick list :--- VIENNA, JULY 14.—An express has bought today the news of the death of the Grand Duke Constantine, at Witepsk. The Grand Duke had latterly too little in ;?hence to authorise an expectation that his death will erect anY change in th e re l at i ons b etween R uss i a an d Po !awl. But niany regulations in the Russian army may be revoked, and the military operAtions conducted with mare facility. Though the Poles did not love him, and , during his residence in Warsaw thought they had groune : s fo; innumerable complaints, the news of his death is said to have been received with much regret at Warsaw ; many officers, in particular, who served under him, and had received favours from him, are said to have expressed the most lively sorrow. Though the accounts received to-day from Brussels l•ave many doubts respecting the acceptance of the pro• posals of the Conference at London, our Funds have kept steady, as letters from Paris represent the elections as favourable to the Ministry. The military armaments here are now put a stop to. The second battalion of the landwehr, the organization of which was already ordered, is not to be formed; and many contracts for the army are rescinded. MATEsex, JULY I5.—A second battalion of Austrian landsvehr from Bohemia has halted in the neighbouring towns on the left bank of the Rhine, and will come here when arrangements are made for its accommodation. To lessen the burden borne by the citizens, part of the Gym nasium is set apart for the troops. As the inhabitants have an indemnity of six kreuzers per man, and the Go vernment does its utmost to lessen the burden of quarter ing the troops, it may be expected that what is unavoid able will be endured with patience, especially as the pre sent state of things cannot last, and it must be decided in a short time whether we are to have war. Letters from Paris say that many of the respectable in habitants leave the city, for fear of the scenes of riot and plunder which the republicans threaten. VIENNA, JULY 15.—The Peith Gazette of the 10th says the cholera continues to spread, though in no great degree, on both sides of the Theiss. There had even been some cases resembling cholera at Izolnok, where four pri soners had died : there were also some symptoms of it in Herez anti Erlau. It is, however, hoped that the further propagation of the disorder will be prevented, as through the precautions that have been adopted, it has been confined to the places either immediately adjacent to the Theiss and Bodrogh, or at the most five miles (ten leagues) from those rivers. From a view of the ravages of the cholera in Gallicia from its commencement to the 25th June in the circles, and to the sth July in Lemberg, it appears that 4'77 places had been attacked ; the number of persons seized with the disorder was 40,506, of whom 21,086 had recovered and 14,500 died ; about 4,000 still remain ill. By the ac counts from Lemberg to the 9th the disorder was abating; on the Bth there were only 30 deaths ; on the, preceding days always between 60 and '7O. AUSTRIAN FUNDS. JULY 14. JULY 15.1 Four per Cents Bank Shares lOl3 1003 The French Papers of Sunday have been re ceived, but they contain little news, being chiefly occupied with discussing the KING'S speech, which, on the whole, appears to have given pretty general satisfaction ; but we are deceived if the satisfaction be of any long continuance. The state of affairs in Poland, and the direful progress of that malady which seems to threaten all Europe with its ravaging visitation, will arouse the French people to lively apprehensions if not discontent . The Government of Louts PHILIPPE may depend on it that a general war is only to be avoided by a prompt interference in favour of Poland—first by bold remonstrance, backed by powerful de monstration—and next (should that be necessary, which we very much doubt) by active measures. Let France ask herself the question—why does Austria—why does Prussia arm? What has provoked the war in Poland—what now influences the con duct of Holland ? What but their united fear —their Holy Alliance hatred of France and her revolution. Why then should France be humbugged by their mock professions of friendship, while they are but preparing the more surely to subvert her free institutions, that they may restore the ancient order of things as being more congenial to their own despotic ♦iews? Let the Emperor of RUSSIA but once capture Warsaw, and see with what scorn he will treat the remonstrance of France, and she will then assuredly deserve his Imperial rebuke. But what will then become of Louis PHILIPPE? —Will France—will the French people—be always enduring ? We think not—indeed, we hope not. ELECTION COMMITTEES. GREAT GRIMSBY. The Counsel for the petitioners (Mr. Haaarsoti and Mr. Serjeant LunLow) having gone through most of the objections to certain voters for the sitting Members, pro ceeded yesterday to open another cause of objection, viz. that of persons having been rated, who had no rateable property. Mr. Hartarsox said he intended to show, that it was the custom in this borough (the qualification being re sident freemen, paying scot and lot) to put a person on the rate-book upon his being admitted to the free dom, without making the slightest inquiry whether he occupied a house, or had any rateable property, and indeed in some instances with the knowledge of the overseers that such persons had not rateable property but were residing with their parents; this custom being adopted solely to complete the qualification of freemen, and to entitle them to vote at elections. In such cases the late would be fraudulent, and the qualification being obtained fraudulently, the persons who voted in respect of it must be struck from the list of the sitting Members. Several witnesses were called, among whom were two overseers of the poor, from whose testimony it was clear that the custom alluded to by the Learned Counsel had prevailed ; when a young man got his freedom, he called on the overseers, and requested to be put on the " pound rate," which made him liable to pay about two shillings a year for the purpose of enabling him to vote at elections. The custom was well understood and no inquiry was made whether the party had a house or any other rateable property. One of the overseers se lected from the rate-books a number of these " pound rate" payers. Mr. Capitos, for the sitting Members, took an objec tion to this course of proceeding.. He contended that as all rates were allowed by two magistrates they must be taken to be correct, unless they were appealed against at the Quarter Sessions, and either confirmed or altered by that authority. He therefore submitted that the rates, not having been appealed against, could not be impugned by this Committee. Mr. HARRISON contended on the other side that he could for this purpose impugn the correctness of the rate ; this was not a question as between the parish and the persons rated, but it was one iu which he meant to show that persons had been by means of fraud put upon the rate, in order to give them votes at elections. The qualification was not only being free, but being rate-payers, and to be rate-payers they must be legally so ; if he could show they were not legally rate-payers, but were so fraudently, he should then claim to have their names struck off the poll. The room was cleared while the Committee deliberated upon the question, and upon our re-admission, the CHAIR MAN (Sir W. Guise) said, the Committee bad decided that Mr. Harrison was entitled to .examine into the legality of the votes. The Learned Counsel proceeded to examine his witnesses until three o'clock, when the Committee adjourned. THIS DAY. This morning the Committee met, and the examinatioi of the witnesses was proceeded in.

Co UR T OF 'CHANCERY. WELLESLEY V. BEAUFORT. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL appeared at the sitting of the Court, agreeable to appointment, to apply, on behalf of Mr. Wellesley, to discharge the order which had been made on the 16th of the present month, directing the commit 'cent of Mr. Wellesley for removing his daughter from the custody of the Misses Long, and placing her beyond the jurisdiction of the Court. The Learned Counsel stated he should make his application on two grounds, namely, the facts of this particular case as they applied to Mr. Wellesley; and secondly, that be was entitled to privilege of Parliament. After occupying about an hour in stating the facts collected from all the various pro ceedings throughout the cause, he proceeded to read an affidavit made by Mr. Wellesley, which stated that Mr. Courtenay, the surviving guardian (the two guardians of the three children having been the late Duchess of Wellington and Mr. Courtenay) had informed him (Mr. W.) that upon the death of the Duchess the guardianship expired of those two individuals ; that con sequently the children were without guardians, or a guardian, and that as the boys, who were then with him (Mr. C.), desired to return to their father, he formally delived them up to him ; and that upon this statement, he (Mr. W.) considered himself perfectly justified in taking away his daughter from the custody of the Misses Long, she having been in their custody only by the authority of the guardians, that authority ceasing (according to Mr. Courtenay's statement) upon the death of the Duchess, when all power vested in the guardians themselves expired. Sir E. SUGnEN observed that Mr. Courtenay had not had an apportunity of answering this affidavit ; he wished to answer it, and he should be under the painful neces sity of denying the greater part of it. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought it right, upon what ever point the result of the present application might have to depend, that Mr. Courtenay should have the oppor tunity of answering what had been sworn to by Mr. Wel lesley, which undoubtedly appeared to the Court to be strange law, if it were law at all. The arguments were then ordered to stand adjourned till Thursday morning for the above purpose. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. TOMLINSON O. LYMEIL. The Court was occupied the whole of the morning with this part-heard case, which was of no possible interest, the object of the bill being to settle the rights of parties to the tithes of a parish in Stoke-upon-Trent.

NERAL BEFORE THE MASTER .- IN RE ROBE'S CHARITY. In this case, it will be recollected, some time since a long discussion took place as to the necessity of the at tendance of the Attorney-General before the Master, in case. where schemes fur the regulation of charities were to be made. Mr. Jarrett, in the course of his argument, cited the case of the Attorney-General and Dove, in which the Attorney -General had attended before the Master, but was disallowed his costs, observing, that since that decision Counsel had been very cautious in advising the attendance of the Attorney-General before the Master. His Honour doubted very much the propriety of the rule adopted in that case, and intimated his intention of consult ing with the Lord and Vice Chancellors upon the subject. His HONOUR, at the sitting of the Court to-day, stated that he had had a conversation with the Lord and Vice- Chancellors upon the point and that an order had been ageeed upon, which his Honour this day would draw up, that wherever there was a scheme to be settled, the Mas ter should require the attendance of the Attorney-General, but that in all other cases it should be left to the discretion of the Master, whether he should require the attendance of the Attorney-General ? That appeared to have been the practice until the decision in the "Attorney-General v. Dove ;" indeed it was absolutely necessary where a scheme was to be settled that the Attorney-General should attend before the Master, otherwise the parties might adopt a scheme with a view only to their local interests. The Court takes short causes and consents on Saturday, which is the last day of his Honour sitting previous to Michaelmas Term. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O' CL O CX. We have no arrivals of consequence this morning, and the Dutch steamer is still due. Montreal Papers to the 26th June, and Quebec to the 24th, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. They bring an account of the storm at Montreal, which is said to have resembled a tornado, similar to those in the West Indies. One of the roofs of the towers of the French church could not resist the fury of the winds, it was blown off, and the vessels all driven from their moorings. Never did the port of Montreal exhibit so appalling and melancholy a sight as on this occasion. No lives were lost, so far as could yet be learned. Extract of a letter from Port-au-Prince, dated 11th June : ." In mine of the 31st tilt. I advised you of the arrival of two French vessels of war bringing the ultima tum of that Government, in regard to the claims so long pending in this country ; but I am sorry to announce the positive refusal of this Government to accede to the terms proposed by the French. The French Censul.General has called together all his countrymen in this city, recom mending them in the strongest terms to arrange their affairs and quit the country without delay, and that the French frigate would wait until the 25th instant, to con vey to France those who could get ready by that time." Extract of a letter from Warsaw, dated 12th July : " The Russians have 80,000 men, with 300 pieces of ar tillery assembled, and we have to oppose them 50,000 brave Poles with 120 pieces of cannon. All our army is at Modlin, or near it, and we are every moment expect ing to come to blows : should we be unfortunate in the battle, we shall retreat fighting to Walla, and if again obliged to retreat, we shall proceed to the capital and defend it to the last extremity." We are just informed, by private letters from Paris, that the French squadron has left the Tagus, taking with them the Portuguese men-of-war, to the number of about five or six, and remain with them outside the bar. They detain the above ships as a security until the money de manded by the French Admiral, amounting to about 30,0001., is paid ; also the sending on board the French Admiral's ship the two Frenchmen. Don Miguel was using every endeavour to procure the above sum. We do not hear of any French troops having been landed, to take any of the forts ; the French ships passed them, regard less of the firing from► them. It is reported in the French Papers that the widow of the Grand Duke Constantine is dead. TIIE FUNDS. Up to the present hour we have no political news of consequence. The only topic of conversation in the City is relative to the demolition of the Belgian fortresses on the side of France, and we understand that negociations will soon commence between the King of Holland and the King of Belgium. In regard to the eighteen articles of the treaty, report says they will undergo material alterations, so that they may be palatable to his Dutch Majesty, and every endeavour will be made to prevent any act of hos tility between the two parties. ,C < onsols, which left off yesterday at 83i. to 1 for the account, opened at 83k, at which price they are at pre sent alternate buyers and sellers. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. HALF-PAST ONE. We have nothing to add in regard to our political in formation since our former report, and should the Dutch steamer arrive it will not bring later information from Poland than that which was received by the Hamburg steamer last night ; in all probability it may communicate the Dutch manifesto, as it is reported to be in preparation. Consols have been fluctuating during this morning from 82 4 1 to 834- ; at present they are 83i sellers for the account. In the Foreign Market up to the present hour nothing doing. THREE O' CL CK. Consols, BSi. The Court of Directors of the East India Company, wishing to evince their loyalty to his MAJESTY, hare directed Colonel AITCII to offer the services of the Royal East India Volunteers to the LORD INIAYOR. on the opening of the Bridge. We understand that there is some doubt as to whether the English cotmties, in gen,:sal, will he divi,led as proposed in the Reform Bill, but we are able to state . that Yorkshire will certainly be divided, as at first pro posed, and that each of the ilidings will return two Mein, hers. Mr. STRICKLAND has determined to offer himself for the West Riding.—Leeds Mercury, A SWEET TEMPER.—A gentleman, when asked his opinion of a certain critic a few days ago, gave it in the following terms :—" Why he is a perfect crab apple—a decoction of verjuice,rthe fointpssencp of acer bity. If I wished to convert the Thames into lemOnade I should pitch him into it ; and if, after the first dip, it was not sufficiently acidulated for ordinary drinking, water must contain a greater quantity of saccharine matter than chemists generally imagine.
