The Dart coach, on her road from Berwick to Edinburgh, yesterday week, passed on the road no less than 1,067 men and women, who were seeking employment as reapers.—Edin burgh Advertiser•. THE HARLEIAN MANUSCRIPTS.—A curi ous original letter of Margaret Cavendishe, Duchess of Portland, relative to the sale of her father's collection of manuscripts, was sold at a recent auction of autographs and original docu ments,' for one guinea. The letter, which is dated 3d April, 1753, is addressed to the Speaker, Onslow. The proposal made to her by Parliament, for the purchase of the manu scripts, she accepts, only upon one condition, viz.—That this great and valuable collection shall be kept together in a proper repository, as an addition to the Cotton Library, and be called by the name of the " Harleian Collection of Manuscripts." She concludes by saying, that she does not consider the price offered by Par liament for the purchase of these manuscripts as by any means adequate to their value. INIMITABLE PLANT.—We feel at all times pleasure in recording the more extraordinary pro ductions of nature, and revert, therefore, for the second or third time, to the giant specimen of the Hydrangea hortensis, which, after having been several times cut down, has as often started into fresh luxuriance, in Lord Selkirk's garden, on the beautiful domain of St. Mary's Isle.— This remarkable plant, which has excited the admiration of all florists, is at present in full bloom, and measures round the extremities, as near as may be, 32 feet. It displays this year no fewer than five hundred and twenty : five.flowers ; and, what is, perhaps, equally surprising, several of these measure not less than two feet in cir cumference. The tulip tree spreading its arms aloft, and flaunting in all the pride of summer, is undoubtedly a highly interesting object; but height is one thing, and surpassing richness and beauty another ; and when we come to compare the splendid foliage of the plant in question, with the number, size, and variety of its flowers, we very much doubt whether its equal is to be found in Britain. But we must hold ! for if we say a single word more of Mr. Nisbett's Hydrangea, the Queen of the Fairies will revive the legends of the olden time, by selecting it as her drawing room on great occasions--her throne the top most gem—her drink the morning dew—her at tendants tiny cavaliers and maids of honour sta tioned on the innumerable petals around. — Dumfries Courier. IRON MAusoLEuNt.—Yesterday a great number of persons were attracted to the yard of the Shots Iron Foundry, at the back of the Cazioneany, for the purpose of viewing a splendid mausoleum which had been cast there. It is about eight and a half feet square and ten feet high, surmounted by an obelisk, the whole height being thirty legt. The sides of the squares are pannelled and a3orned with pilasters ; a large cornice runs round it about nine feet from the ground ; above the cornice is an ornamental part, tour feet high, which serves as a base to the obe lisk, at the corners of which is an urn, each placed upon a pedestal set in an angular direc.. tion. On wh at will form the front, when placed in its intended situation in Larbert church-yard, is an inscription in raised letters, cast with the panne] on which it appears, and which are ex ceedingly well formed. Above the inscription is the date of erection in large characters, and higher up, in Greek, the following words from Homer, in allusion to the materials of the tomb : —" Koimesato chalkeon upnon," " he sleeped an iron sleep." It is the first sepulchral monu ment of a large size, we believe, which has been executed jn metal in this country. In the West church-yard, many years ago, a metal obelisk was erected to the memory of Mr. Barker, iron founder, Leith Walk, but it can bear no com parison with the above-mentioned undertaking. The d e sign, which is very appropriate an d ele gant, we understand, wee furnished by Mr. Rae burn, architect in this city. The castings are remarkably smooth, and the joints, thopgh all in solid metal, are quite invisible. The entire weight does not exceed eight tons and a half, and the price w ill b e moderate. It is to the ;memory of Captai n Paterson of the East India Company s Service, and his family, whose names are recorded in the • Y inscription, and has been erected by that gentleman's executor, Captain Harrower, from money left f or t h at purpose: Edinburgh Advertmer, FOREIGN' INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France of Aug. 29.) " ODESSA, AUG. B.—We hare news from Con stantinople to the 2d of this month. The result of the conferences at London respecting the pacifica tion of Greece rendered the Porte very uneasy, though the certainty that the Courts of Vienna and Berlin did not take any part in them had produced a favourable impression on the Divan. People were, however, convinced that the Porte would let things come to the last extremity. The Courts of St. Pe tersburgh, London, and Paris, had not vet caused the ultimatum to be presented, with the indication of a period of 30 days, according* to the treaty ; and as the ratification of the three Sovereigns are indis pensable, it could hardly be presented before the end of the month. " The Count Capo d'lstria, who is going to Greece, is said, at St. Petersburgh, to have with him to the value of five millions of rubles. " PARIS, AUG. 28.—Letters from New Orleans say that the Blosom, Captain Richy (the Blossom, Captain Beechey), sent by the English Government on a scientific voyage, had touched at San Francisco in New California, and had sailed again to prosecute her voyage. (From the Constitutionnel. ) EXTRACT PROM A PRIVATE LETTER. " LEGHORN, Art. 16.—We lv , ve received a let ter, dated Corfu, Aug. 6, which announces a signal victory gained by the Greeks over their enemy in the Peloponnesus. Ibrahim Paella, after the defeat which he experienced at Megaspeleon and Calavrita, wished to conduct the troops against the Acro- Corinth. Having assembled all his forces, he marched in person at the heed of the Arabs. The Greeks met him before the town of Vostitza, and forced him to return with the loss of a great number of soldiers. " Another letter from the Island of Zante con tains the following passage : " Lord Cochrane, after having burnt the Egyptian brig before Alexandria, and carried terror into the enemy's territory, has returned to Poros. Yesterday morning a little frigate of 36 guns, and a galley of the Turkish fleet, passed off our island to pro ceed to Patras. On a sudden Lord Cochrane appeared near Scrophes, with the Hellas and the Soler brig. Towards noon we heard a brisk can nonade, and in the evening we had intelligence of a naval battle. Early this morning the Hellas and the Soter approached the island, the latter having in tow the enemy's frigate, on whose mast the Greek stan dard was flying. The Turkish crew were compelled to surrender, after a resistance of 10 minutes. The frigate has suffered in its rigging from the guns of the Hellos. The Greek sailors were repairing the damage. The vessels approached so near our port, that we could distinguish the men with the tele scope. The Turkish galley was captured without sustaining any injury. The Greek vessels proceeded towards Clarenza, to anchor and to arm the galley for to-morrow morning. " LISBON, AUG. 15.—We learn from 'Chaves, that the flags and standards which the Spaniards have sent from Braganza, are expected there, and a fete is in preparation to receive them. A letter has been received at Chaves, written by Viscount Mon talegre to his brother-in-law the Abbe of St. Valha, in which the former describes the dreadful state of misery he is in, and begs pecuniary assistance, to de fray the expense of a journey which he intends to make to France. He also complains bitterly of the bad treatment which he received in Spain, and to which he can no longer submit. Letters from La mego, dated the 10th, speak of a mob having as sembled near the village of Pontello, and compelled all passengers to shout vivas in favour of the Marquis of Chaves, and cry Death to Don Pedro aid the Constitution?. " Sub-Lieutenant Soeiro proceeded to the spot at the head of a detachment, which put the sediti ous to flight. One man was taken and put into prison at Lamego. _ _ " An English brig of war brought despatches to the British Admiral two days ago. Immediately after, three small English ships of war sailed. It is supposed that they are to cruise, out at sea, as a squadron of observation : for at the same time orders were given to add to the ordinary signals of the maritime telegraph on the tower particular signals for notifying the approach of a Brazilian squadron. " The circular or manifesto addressed by Count de Ponte to foreign Courts, continues to be severely censured. The inhabitants of this capital are griev ously offended at it. The protest made at Madrid, on the catastrophe of July 7, 1522, by the diplo matic body, spoke with more delicacy and modera tion of the inhabitants of the Spanish capital, than Salvador de Ponte has done of those of the ca pital of his own country. It is reported that Count de Villa Flor is to be sent on an extraordinary mis sion to the province of Minho. It is alleged that this mission has for its object to paralyze the autho rity of General Stubbs, who is feared." A report was spread to-day that it was the inten tion of the Cabinet of Madrid to draw the Spanish army to the frontiers of Portugal, to sustain Don Miguel, sent by Austria. (EXTRACT OF AWOTHER PRIVATE LETTER RECEIVED liY EXPAZSS.) It is reported that the English troops are to eva cuate Portugal in two months; the disposal of the materiel of war by the Britannic Cabinet seems to favour the report. Be it as may, it is not thought likely that the English will be in a hurry to eva cuate the two forts they occupy at the entry of the bar of Lisbon, and which command the Tagus. At any rate, pretexts will not be wanting for leaving a guard in the service of the Regent. Private letters from Rio Janeiro agree that the King, Don Pedro, was making preparations for going to Portugal. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) VIENNA, AUG. 15.—We learn from Jassy that a req►.►isition of horses is talked of in the principalities, for the transport of a certain number of p►eces of artillery, destined for the fortresses siLuated on the right bank of the Danube, such as Galacz (Mol dayia), Brailow (Wallachia), and Widdin, which is one of the most ►mportant places in that part of the Ottoman Empire. It is also said that the garrison of Trauwinck, a fortress of Bosnia, will be reinforced by a detachment of troops exercised on the Euro pean plan. (From the Quotidienne.) PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. LISBON, Aug. 15.—The C'onstitutionnel Gazette of yesterday stated, that a vessel arrived at Lisbon from the Island of St. Michael had there seen an English vessel which sailed from Rio Janeiro on the 30th of June, the Captain of which asserted that Don Pedro had embarked on the 27th of the same month for Portugal. It is reported to-day, that the Spanish Government intends to advance its troops nearer to the Portuguese frontiers. This resolution is probable enough, for if the Infant Don Miguel comes to Portugal, that army will be his support ; and if, as th e Lib era l s asser t lie will, Don Pedro arrives the first, that army will be ready to operate, for the struggle would not fail to begin immediately. For some days past, the inhabitants of the village of Pontello have stationed themselves on the high road, where they made travellers shout with them— " Death to the Constitution, death to Don Pedro." Troops were obliged to be sent from Lamego to disperse them. It was asserted, that the Bishop Constitutionnel of the Algarves had asked for dismissal, and the Gazette went so far as to say, tha t hi s res i gna tion had been accepted. We can affirm, that that Mi nister transacted business this very day at his office. The Ex-Minister Saldanha came to Lisbon in the night of the 11th instant, but the next day returned to the village of Beiras. This little journey has given rise to various reports, of which the least absurd is, that the ship Apollo, lately arrived from Rio Janeiro, having brought letters personally addressed to Sal denim, he was summoned to open them in the pre sence of the Council of State. An order has been vt .nt, to General Cauca, 'Military Governor of the Province of Elvas, to come to Cintra, where, it is said, a grand Council will beheld, at which all the Councillors of State are to be present. General Cauca is a Councillor of State. A battalion of the Sth Regiment of Infantry ar. rived here on the 12th. Count Villa Flor and Ge' neral Clinton went to meet that body.

EVENING, AUGUST 31, 1827. We might probably, without any egotism, assume to ourselves much knowledge. of the discussions which have taken place upon the subject of the Ministerial arrangements as any of our cotemporaries, who pretend to know the very arguments which have been used by some members of the Cabinet, or who put speeches into the mouths of others ; and we might thus cook up a dish which would be palatable to the taste of some idle gossips. But, in the present state of things, we consider that it is as indelicate to mention any facts we do know, as to pretend to a knowledge of others which have not tran spired beyond the narrow bounds of the Mini ster's closet. With this feeling we shall persevere in maintaining the same reserve we have hitherto done till the arrangements are made, when we shall know them, and the causes which have prevented their earlier adjustment, as soon as our neighbours. Mr. HusKTSSON, and Viscount Gr.opEßlcit, Mr. STURGES BOURNE, proceeded this fore noon to 'Windsor, on a visit to his MAJESTY. The Paris Papers of Tuesday, and the Gazette de France dated Wednesday, reached us last night. The latter contains an article from Odessa, dated the Bth instant, which refers to intelligence received from Constantinople to the 2d. At that time the ultimatum of the Allied Powers had not been communicated to the Porte ; but people were convinced that the DIVAN would let things come to the last ex tremity. From Jassy, it is stated, that a requi sition of horses was talked of in the principalities. A private letter from Zante, states the capture of a Turkish frigate and a galley, by Lord COCHRANE, off Poros. All the Papers are filled with vague rumours from Spain and Portugal. One states that the Spanish army is forthwith to advance to the Portuguese Frontier—another, that the British troops are ,to evacuate Portugal immediately--a third, that Don MIGUEL is on his road, having been appointed Regent by the Emperor Don PEDRO—and so on. The truth is, that the affairs of both countries are in almost a desperate situation, and it is a chance what will take place. The Cours 'Authentique has not reached us, and, therefore, we do not yet know the closing price of the Funds on Tuesday evening. At half -past two o'clock, the 5 per Cents. were 104 f. 95c. ; 3 per Cents. 72f. 65c., and 73f. 15c. for time. Extracts of the Papers are given in another column• By the Flanders Mail, which arrived last night, we have received Brussels Papers o f t h e 29th. The following article fiorn Frankfort describes the activity which prevails in the de partments of the Ministers of War and F ore i gn Affairs in St. Petersburgh, and states that a new declaration is spoken of, to be addressed by the Russian Cabinet to the other great Powers of Europe, relative to the negotiations With the Porte. " FRANKFORT, Aun. 18.—Letters from St. Peters burgh say that great activity is observed in the depart ments of the Ministers of War and Foreign Affairs. " A new declaration is spoken of, to be addressed by the Russian Cabinet to the other great Powers of Europe, rela tive to the negotiations set on foot at Constantinople, for adjusting the affairs of Greece. It appears to be beyond all doubt that the Emperor Nicholas has manifested the greatest discontent at the continual tergiversation of the Forte, and that, conformably to the wishes of the people resolved to put an end to the effusion and the clergy, o f blood i e in is tl fi le rm P l e Y loponnesus. It is affirmed that the last despatches sent by Count Nesselrode to the Russian Ambassador at Vienna, are drawn up with spirit. The contents of the desp atc h es were to b e commun i cate d to t h e Court of Austria, with an invitation to send fresh instruc tions to Baron Ottenfels, the Imperial Internuncio at Con stantinople, to employ all his influence to snake the Porte comprehend that its present policy ie calculated to bring on events the result of which cannot but he injurious to the empire of the Crescent. " The report that Turkish troops, organized in European fashion, were to come to Moldavia, had reached St. Petersburgb. It is said that orders have been sent to the General commanding the army in Bessarabia, to draw his posts closer together, and to watch all the movements that may take place in Moldavia ; and in case the Turks should increase their forces in that principality, to send immediate notice to the Minister of War at St. Peters burgh. Count Capo d'lstria was visited at Berlin by the most distinguished Philhellcnes of that capital, who were desirous of paying their respect to the future President of the Government of Greece. " Letters from Corfu say, that Ibrahim Paella has sud denly suspended his march, and is now completely inactive. It is supposed that he would again go to Navarin, where he will probably wait for despatchei from his father, the Vice roy of Egypt. News had been received that a frigate had sailed from Alexandria, bound fur the Morea. It will pro bably anchor at Navarin. " BRUSSELS, Auc. 28.—The loan of 400,000 florins, nogociated by the Magistrates of the Hague for making a canal to Scheveninger, was filled up in four days." PftemcFOßT, Auc. 18.—(Private Correspondence.)— There is no longer any doubt that the Electoral Prince of Hesse, with the Electrese, his mother, and the Princess of Hesse, his sister, will come in the month of October next, to fix their residence at Philipsruhe, near Hanau. Every body has heard of the dissensions which have prevailed in the Electoral family ever since the accession of the present Elector. To put an end at once to the numerous disagree able affairs which have already resulted from their differences, the Kings of Prussia and the Netherlands have intervened, together with the Emperor of Austria, to effect a final arrangement. _ . lu consequence of this intervention, the Principality of Hanau is to be given up to the Electoral Prince, to be poe sessed by him, under the Elector, as Sovereign, in the same manner as was done in the last reign but one, and under circumstances nearly similar. It will be gratifying to the Naval Service to learn, that the appointment we alluded to yester day of the Hon. Captain ROBERT SPENCER, of the Royal Navy, to be Private Secretary to his Royal Highness the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL, has taken place. Colonel WILSON, Colonel STANNIERS, and Lieutenant STRONG, arc said to have arrived at Constantinople on the Ist of August. On their route from India to Great Britain they passed through Tuhrev, 28 days before, and they learned that the Russian Army, employed in the invasion of Persia, was in a state of the greatest distress ; the cavalry had been totally routed by that of the Persians, and the climate had been disastrous to the invaders. Eight thousand Rus sians, before Erivan, had been nearly destroyed by disease, and a retreat of the Russians was ex pected. Overland dispatches have been received from India, by which we learn that intelligence has been brought of the death of RUNJEET SING. His Majesty's sloop, Eclair, has arrived at Spithead, from Lima, Valparaiso, and Rio ; the letters and papers, brought by her from the western coast of South America, are of old date. The following official article is rather a curiosity in its way, and the reasoning of the Brazilian Baron is as conclusive to us as it must be satisfactory to himself. He does not seem to care about the means, so that he obtains the end, and therefore pirates are as acceptable to his Excellency as they must be unwelcome to those against whom their operations will be di rected. The Baron is quite original in his mode of surprising the enemy, and is much gratified that his visit was unexpected. It would be quite surprising if they knew he was coming upon them unawares. OFFICIAL ARTICLE.-CISPLATINE PROVINCE. RIO DE JANEIRO, JUNE IS. Slit—By the despatch, of which I enclose a copy, that your Excellency may do me the honor to lay it before his Imperial Majesty, your Excellency will see that on the 17th of this mouth I caused the Imperial ei:lours to be hoisted in the city of Maldonado ; thus completing my plan in the manner that I communicated to your Excellency in my despatch of the 11th of March last. This plan was one of the most important that could be struck at the enemy under the present circumstances, on account of the advan tages which accrue to us from it. 1. By putting in our hands the support of the pirates, who have done so much injury from that point. 2. By facilitating the communication of the army of the South. 3. Because the insurgents, considering that city as their capital, are deprived of it, and consequently their civil and moral force is diminished. I cannot but be much gratified by the manner in which this surprise was effected, without any person's expecting it, and notwithstanding the brisk firing that took place, we had only one soldier wounded and a corporal killed or taken prisoner (and by his own fault). The enemy, besides the killed, wounded, and prisoners, lost also a considerable quan tity of ammunition. Our force did not exceed 170 men, which, in conformity with my instructions, occupied the bridge of Leste, which is already fortified with nine pieces of cannon of different sizes, and to which I sent 100 men, viz.-40 cavalry and 60 infantry; and if I had had more troops, I could have occupied the city of Maldonado itself. I have, meantime, the s atisfactionnot:only of having saved Colonia, but of having the Imperial standard hoisted in that city. Our troops behaved with much bravery and good order, and the commander of the expedition did every thing with great judgment. As soon as I receive the details, I will transmit them, that his Majesty may, with his usual libe rality, reward those who have most distinguished them selves. God preserve your Excellency, &c. - The Baron de VILLA BELLA. Head-quarters, Monte Video, May 25. To his Ereeileney the Conde do Lagos.

It is added that on his 'Majesty's birth day the Queen dined with the Royal family. HAGUE, AUG• 25. The King's birth-day was observed here yesterday with ...e wind marks of attachment to his Majesty's person. Early in the morning the churches were crowded with the inhabitants of all classes, eager to thank Heaven for the preservation of their Prince, and to pray for the continuance of a life which becomes more and more valuable with the increasing prosperity of the nation. The inscriptions for the loan of 400,000 florins being closed on the 23d, were found to have amounted, in the four days fixed for the purpose, to the sum of between 6 and 700,000 florins, in consequence of which tha in scriptions have been reduced in due proportion, and notice given to the subscribers. The University of Marburg celebrated, at the end of July, the secular festival of its foundation, on which occa sion the learned Madame Johanna Wyttenbach, relict of the celebrated Daniel Wyttenbaeb, received from the Philcio pilical Faculty of the Academy, the degree of Doctor of the Mathematics and Master of Arts. Accounts from the banks of the Rhine, say that the ex isting legislation on the Rhenish Provinces of Prussia will remain in force till 1832, at which time it is believed that the labours of the Commissioners charged with the general revisal of the Prussian Legislation, will be so far matured, that the Prussian Monarchy will shortly enjoy uniform legal institutiens. AMSTERDAM, AUG. 28.--Exchange on London. 11 974 ; two months, 11 92k. The Exchanges from Amsterdam come one groat higher this morning. There were no bills to be had on London. The above rate of Exchange is as high as it has been for the last four rnonths. THU FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TVIBLIR 0' CLOCK. The continued uncertainty which exists on the subject of the Ministerial arrangements, and the rumours which are continually promulgated in the City, have caused the British Funds to be affected by the most unimportant reports, which, even if true, are improbable from their very nature, and shew how susceptible the state of the money market is at the present moment. This morning a considerable number of transactions have taken place; Consols opened at 864, for account, but afterwards declined to 864; they then got up to 87k, and are now 87, buyers, and 864 for money, the market looking well ; India Bonds continue to rise, being 92 3, and Exchequer Bills, 59 60 pm. The Foreign Funds continue to attract but little attention, and few bargains are reported; Mexican Bonds are 67. A decline in Russian Stock is quoted, they arc 954 6; this may arise from the arrival of some of the Bonds from Holland, which have been sent as a remittance, as well as the intelligence brought by three English Officers who have arrived overland from India, and bring very unfavourable accounts of the disastrous situation of the Russian army before Eri van, a Persian fortress; the besieging army are in want of ammunition, guns, and materiel; provisions they had scarcely any, and the force, amounting to 8,000 men, had been nearly destroyed by disease and the attacks of the Persian Cavalry ; in consequence of which it was generally believed that the invading army must retreat within their own frontier without delay. If this is a true statement, much difficulty will attend replacing these losses in that quarter. Portuguese are 75 4; Brazilian, 661 I; and Buenos Ayres, 61 4.

We lately noticed the laudable exertions made by the Parent Society. A Meeting had been held at the Freemason's Hall, where his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury took the Chair. The proceedings at Liverpool, may be considered as growing out of the meeting in the Me tropolis. It is impossible not to admire the comprehensive benevolence of the Reverend Persons who assisted at it, when we see them equally intent on giVing religious conso lation to the natives of India and the savages of North America, animated by the pious hope, that all the human race may share the same faith and unite to worship the only true God. Mr. Huskisson, in passing from Dover to London, the other day, lost no opportunity of snaking in quiries as to the condition of the farmers. The Right Honourable Gentleman put a question of this kind to the landlord of a certain inn, who replied, that he thought they were dohsg very well, but that they nevertheless grumbled a good deal.--." I have no doubt of that," rejoined Mr. H. " I never knew the time when they did not grumble." DUBLIN.--An extremely distressing occur rence has, within the last few days, taken place in the family of a most respectable professional gentleman, resident in Merricn-square. His family being at pre sent in the country, the children were out during the day in the lawn attached to the house, and while there, one of the young ladies, a fine girl of fifteen, was struck in the eye by an arrow discharged by some idle boy in the neighbourhood, who was amusing himself at the dangerous exercise of shooting arrows. The eye-ball was completely protruded, and the eye-sight is consequently lost. A sea lion was lately taken in Inver Bay, on the coast of Donegal. He measured nine feet four inches from the snout to the end of his tail, five feet ten inches in girth, and weighed 729 lbs. His snout is like a coven, his teeth like a dog's ; his head remarkably small, the nails of his fore-paws seven inches long and very strong, those on his hind-paws, or fins, are long but thin—the latter paws are shaped like a goose's foot. This animal is the Wond er of the fishermen, who go in hundreds to see it, and som e of them say it has been known in the bay these 40 ye a r s , tearing their nets constantly.—Lsinster Jour. On Thursday afternoon, a young man, while bathing on the beach at Aberdeen, got into a dangerous gulph or channel, a little to the southward of the station for the bathing machines, and the ebb-tide running strong at this outlet, where the current is very rapid and dan gerous,he was swept out to sea an d d rowne d, ca lli ng to his companion in the water to warn him of the danger in which he found himself inextricably involved. The un fortunate sufferer had just returned from Greenland, where he had been as a landsman, on board the Neptune, and had been formerly a flax .dresser, originally from Montrose.-- Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle. A young Nobleman, the son of a gallant Mar quis, and son-in-law of a distinguished Mar chioness, is, we understand, at present in this country, incog. for the purpose of having th e immense Gothic Pile, the ancient family resi dence of the latter personage, situate in the county of Meath, not fifty miles from Slane, beautified and enlar ge d on a mos t ex t ens i ve sca l e , and in a style approaching in splendour to even Royal magnificence. These improvements, it is said, are preparatory to the arrival of a noble in dividual here, to preside at the helm of the Irish Government.---Dublin Evening Post. STITPPING INTELLIGENCR-(THIS DAY.)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) HATTON-GARDEN. Tula PETTICOAT-LANE DEPOT.— , IIE ET SOLOMONS.—'' In consequence of the arrangements yesterday made by the Magistrates of this office, for affording every facility to the numerous inquiries to be allowed to examine the property found in the house of Ikey Solomons, it was removed from the possession of the different officers, and placed in one of the large rooms in the upper part of the office, under the care of Limbriek and Edwards ; and as early as ten o'clock a number of tradesmen, who had been plundered at dif ferent times, were in attendance, and between that hour and half-past twelve o'clock upwards of thirty individuals had access to the apartment. The property as now seen is of the most astonishing vs 4riety, comprising not only gold and silver watches, silks, and jewellery, but a very large quantity of valuable Brus sels lace, pieces of woollen cloths, silk shawls, damask table-cloths, waistcoats and waistcoat pieces, and a great quantity of lace caps made up; but not any portion of it was found on the ground floor as described. In the bed room on the second floor, after removing a bedstead and a double carpetting, two planks were disco vered so contrived, that they could be removed at pleasure, under which the greater part of the lace, the whole of the watches, jewellery, and a large portion of the silk, were found. The bag of counterfeit sovereigns, amounting in number to 566, was not found beneath the flooring, but was discovered by Limbrick most artfully concealed on a sort of beam or rafter, in the lower part of the building.— The adjoining house was in possession of the same party, anti contained a quantity of valuable property, which could not, at the time, be removed, in consequence of the limited means possessed at the moment by the Officers, and tlit immense number of persons by which the premises were surrounded. A considerable portion of the lace has already been iden tified by Messrs. Goustock and Copestake, of No. 7, Cheapside, whose premises were lately robbed ; and several gold rings by a pawnbroker named Lane, in the neighbour hood of Tottenham-court-road. A portion of the watches are spoken to as being stolen from a pawnbroker's in the City no longer since than Saturday night last. The influx of tradesmen continues as numerous as when the Office first opened; but the names of the applicants are kept as close as possible. The case will be fully entered into on Tuesday next, but it is not expected to be public, as it cannot, by any means, be disposed of on that day. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of all kind■ of Coro this week are small, particularly of Foreign Oats. Fine Wheat being scarce, fully supports Monday's prices ; Barley, Beans, and Pease, are unaltered. In consequence of the very short supply of Oats, good Horse Corn fully supports Monday's rates, bat the business transacted is very limited. ARRIVALS. Wheat. English ...... I 4,010 qrs.

PLANTATION SOO-AlM—The market on Tuesday opened with an increased demand, and the sales made were very extensive, at an advance of Is. per cwt. ; yesterday also there was a great deal of business done, but principally by one house, some of the importers being anxious to realize at the present prices, while others appear mere confident and are holding for a further advance; to-day there xi as not so did not is about go eff4 with,OO 0 much h hds. much done, but notwithstanding the very largo supply at market prices are very firm: the Grocers appear to be the principal buyers, the Refiners are very cautious; the quan tity"sle on Tuesdaytkauptohis afternoon spirit, but still an advanc e o f I s. was g i ven.

RETIYED SUOARS.—Low Lumps for the Hamburgh market continue in demand, but are rather scarce ; the refiners are stiff in their prices. In the middling and better descriptions of goods there is very little doing either by the grocers or shippers ; in crashed there does not appear to be any thing doing. CorFur.—The demand this week has been very limited and the public sales brought forward have gone off at a further decline for the ordinary and unclean sorts of Plan tation, of which they principally consisted, until to-day, when more spirit was shewn, and better prices obtained ; the good qualities continue steady. In Foreign scarcely anything has been done ; a few lots good ordinary Laguayra - sold at 425. a 445. Delivered last Week from the West India Docks, 695 casks, 1,475 bags, &C.
