BANK CHARTER. The following is the opinion (and it appears to us to be, a well-reasoned one) of the law officers of the Crown on the contested clause in the Bank Charter:— " Lincoln's-Inn, Aug. 9. "My Lord,—We have had the honour to receive your Lordship's letter, requesting our opinion upon the question, whether under the existing laws a joint-stock deposit bank can be established in London, or ssithin 65 miles thereof, and we have no hesitation in answering in the affirmative. Such a hank is not contrary to the common law, and it can only be considered as prohibited by the statutes connected with the monopoly of the Bank of England. If those statutes were doubtful, as they are in restraint of trade, they ought, according to an established rule, to be construed strictly against the corporation, and favourably for the public; but after a very deliberate con sideration of all these statutes, we are of opinion that their clear intention was only to prevent the establishment of any other such bank as the 13ink of England by Parlia mentary enactments, and to prevent all companies or partnership, under whatever denomination, that might lawfully carry on the business of banking by the autho rity of the common law, from entering into rivalship with the Bank of England, by issuing paper to he used as part of the circulating medium. " We must premise that the common law knows no distinction between two joint-stock companies and any other partnerships ; and that if a joint-stock deposit bank within 65 miles of London he prohibited, any banking. of more than six partners within the same limits, we con ceive, is equally illegal. " The Balk of England was established under 5 Wil liam and Mary, c. 20. This statute, which contains the original contract between the Bank of England and the public, has no restriction against the erection of any other bank by Parliament, nor against carrying on any branch of banking business, by corporations, companies, or indi viduals. It merely prohibits the Governor and Company of the Bank of England from buying or selling goods, leaving them at liberty to deal in bullion, or to act as pawnbrokers, and sell unredeemed pledges. " Next come Et and 9 William 111., c. 20, for increasing the capital of the Bank, and enacting by section IS, that ' during the continuance of the corporation of the Go vernor and Company of the Bank of England no other hank or any other corporation, society, fellowship, com pany, or constitution, in the nature of a bank, shall be erected, or established, permitted, suffered, countenancer) or allowed, by Act of Parliament within this kingdom.' We believe it is admitted that the meaning of this was only to prevent the establishment of any other bank, which it required a future Act of Parliament to erect, establish, permit, suffer, countenance, or allow. At that time pri vate bankers were called goldsmiths; and it was thought, that without an Act of Parliament, what was then called a bank meld not be established. This statute did not intend to render unlawful any company for banking which then existed, or to prevent the establishment of any bank which was permitted by the common law. By a different interpretation, no banking could have been carried on by any number of person., or by any individual in London or any part of the kingdom, except by the Bank of Eng land, for the enactment is universal, containing no excep tion as to place or number of persona. Indeed, the conse quence would be, all the London banking houses now esta blished would he unlawful, and they can no longer be ' permitted, suffered, countenanced, or allowed.' But as they required no Act of Parliament to legalize them, they were and are lawful, subject to the restriction of becoming parties to promissory notes and bills of exchange, imposed by the statutes which we now proceed to consider, " The 6th of Anne, co 22, s. 9, enacts that it shall not he lawful for any body politic or corporate whatso• ever, erected or to he erected, other than the said Gover nor and Company of the Bank of England, or for other persons whatsoever, united or to be unitA, in covenants or partnership, exceeding the number of six persons in that part of Great Britain called England, to borrow, owe, or take up any sum or sums of money on their bills or notes payable on demand, or at any less time than six months from the borrowing thereof.' " From this time there could be no hank of issue, public or private, in any part of England, consisting of more than six persons, except the Bank of England ; but banks of deposit were left precisely as they were before the Act passed, and if a joint-stock bank of deposit allowed by the common law was before lawful, it con tinued to be so. The express prohibition to such common law banks to issue the securities enumerated was an im- Fesegnition of their power to carry on any other 4 . The 7th of Anne, c. 7, a. GI, merely-re-enacts the 9th section of the 6th of Anne, c. 22. " Finally, we come to the 15th Geo. 11., c. 13, a. 5, copied by the 89th and 40th Geo. 111., c. 28, s. 15, upon which the law now stands, and which does not in any respect extend the monopoly of the Bank of England. " The object is declared to be to remove doubts in re gard to the erecting any other banks by Act of Parlia ment, end the privilege given by former Acts to the Bank of England of exclusive banking ; and it enacts that no other bank shall be created, established, or allowed by Parliament, and it shall not be lawful for any body politic, or for any other persons exceeding six, &c. to borrow, &c. (in the words of the 6th of Anne); and the Bank of England is declared to be and remain a cor poration, with the privilege of exclusive banking as before recited. It is not to have the privilege of exclusive banking absolutely, but as before recited. Here, there fore, is an euutneration of its privileges, and none are to be claimed which are not here recognised. What are they ? That Parliament shall not interfere to legalize :my bank which would not be lawful by the common law , and that no paper to be used as cash shall be issued by any corporation or partnership consisting of more than six persons. The prohibitions of 8 and 9 William 111., and 6 Anne, c. 22, s. 9, are combined, and it is substantially declared that the claim of the Bank of England to exclu sive banking should be confined to these. If hanks of deposit were to be prohibited, words ought to have been added to the effect that it should not be lawful for any corporation or partnership consisting of mere than six persons to have or receive money for safe custody from any of his IMajesty'a subjects, or to pay any money upon any check or order, or to lend or owe any money, although no hill, note, or security maybe given or taken for the same.' If a private bank of deposit be unlawful, the prohibition against drawing and accepting notes an'l bills so anxiously introduced and repeated in those Acts was wholly unneces s try. The object of this prohibition could not be to prevent commercial partnerships consisting of more than six persons from drawing and accepting such notes and bills in the course of their commercial' dealings ; for it has been expressly determined that the prohibition does not extend to notes and bills so drawn and accepted. " The statute 7 Geo IV., c. 46, does not touch this question. The objet of this statute was to relax the monopoly of the Bank of England with respect to banks of issue with more than six partners, to be established more than 65 miles from London. Such banks, before unlawful all over England, were made lawful upon cer tain conditions, and have certain privileges conferred upon them of suing and being sued if established more than 65 miles from London ; but in London, and within the circle of 65 miles round it, the law with respect to banks and banking remains exactly as it before stood. " The result appears to he, that all banking companies !bleb could exist, and be carried on by the authority of the common l aw, may st ill l awfu ll y ex i st an d carry on an y banking business from which they are not expressly pro hibited. We therefore think they may be established as hanks f deposit in London, or within 65 miles thereof, or in any part of England. " The circumstance of no joint-sto c l- bank of deposit being hitherto esta b lished in London may probably have arisen from the difficulty of car r yi ng on suc h a concern beneficially with ou t a power accept bills o f exc h ange a t a shorter date than six month,,ot and, still more, without a power of ruing and being soed in the name of one of its officers. No other corporation than the Bank o f Eng land could have acted as a b an k of deposit,et of P ar li ament for there is no other corporation created by charter o for the purpose of banking, in any of its branches ; an d a corporation could not lawfully engage in banking if cre ated for a different purpose. " Till the expiration of one year's notice, and repay ment by the Government of the debt d ue to the Bric ; England, joint-stock banks of issue cannot b e estab a rh f t in London, or within 65 miles thereof ; but we are L of opinion that in this circle a joint-stock bank of deposit may now be established under the existing laws. W e feel the mast sincere deference and respect for the opinions of eminent lawyers which are stated to have been recently given to the contrary, but being consulted by your Lordship, we are bound distinctly and positively to state Our own. " We have reason to think that our opinion coincides with that of other eminent lawyers given before the pre sent controversy began. " We have the honour to be, my Lord, " Your Lordship's obedient servants, W. HORNE. " .I. CAMPBELL. " Lord Viscount Althorp." The following are the opinions of Sir E. Sugilen and Mr. Richards on the "Joint-Stock Bank" Question " Fint....Whether, undo' the existing laws, a :Pi"' stock deposit bank can be established in London, or within sixty-five miles thereof? , 6 Secondly—lf joint-stock banks of deposit should be formed, and find it impracticable to prosecute their object without the power of suing in the name of a public officer, could Parliament confer such privilege without a violation of the provisions contained in the 39th and 40th George 111., cap. 28, sec. 15 ?" OPINION. We are of opinion that, under the existing laws, a partnership or company e x c e e di ng six persons cannot carry on a joint-stock deposit bank in London, or within 65 miles thereof. The original provision was, that the Bank of England, and no other bank, or any corporation, &c., in the nature of a bank, should be allowed by Act of Parliament within the kingdom. This was the only provision. It was treated as clear that no bank, properly so called, could be established without the authority of Parliament. As this exclusive privilege was broken in upon by the corporations, and great numbers of persons presuming to borrow great sums, and therewith contrary to the intent of the Act, dealing as a bank, the prohi bition was enacted against any other corporation that the Bank, or any other persons exceeding six in numl.er, borrowing, owing, or taking up any sum of money on Their bills or note., payable at any less time than six months from the borrowing thereof. This was a fence thrown around the former provision, but in no manner weakened its original force. The prohibition is not con fined to bankers, but extends to all corporations and companies. These two provisions were repeat.d in later times. No other hank was to be erected, established, or allowed by Parliament, and the Bank of England was to be and remain a corporation, " with the privilege of exclusive banking." This exclusive privilege was so far limited by the 7th of George IV. as to allow any corpo• ration erected for the purposes of banking, or any number of persons in partnership, although exceeding six in number, to carry on the business of bankers in Enz. land, and to make and issue their bills at any place in England exceeding sixty-fire miles from London payable on demand, &c. ; but they were not to have any esta blishment as bankers in London, or at any place not exceeding sixty-five miles from London. This ex ception still left the former prohibitions untouched as re garded bankers within 65 miles from London, and the Act creating the exception carefully reserved to the Bank all their other rights. The Government, now professing only to clear up doubts which exist as to the construction of the Bank Acts, propose to enact that any corporation or partnership, although consisting of more than six per sons, may carry on the business of banking in London, or within 65 miles thereof, with a repetition of the prohibi tion against their borrowing any money on their bills payable at any less time than six months. We are clearly of opinion that this would be a direct violation of the rights of the Bank of England. If we contrast the pre sent law with the law as it is proposed (in order to clear up the don'ts) to be declared it would stand thus:— THE PRESENT LAW. The Bank of England to be the only bank authorised by Parliament to have the exclu sive privilege of banking. No other corporation, nor any company exceeding six persons, to borrow, &c., any money on hills payable in less than six months, unless their establishment is more than 65 miles from London, and that their bills are issued at a greater distance from London than 65 miles. THE LAW NOW PROPOSED. The Bank of England not to be the only bank allowed by Parliament; but Parliament now to declare that any corpo. ration or partnership, although exceeding six persons, may !carry on the trade of banking anywhere in England, with a simple prohibition against their borrowing any money upon their bills payable in less than six months, if they carry on their trade in London or within fi3 miles of it. This, in our opinion, is entirely to change the law, under the colour of clearing up doubts upon it. The ex elusive privileges of the Bank of England are not confined to its powers as a bank of issue, but extend as well to its rights as a b ,nk of deposit; and the policy of our Govern ment has hitherto forbidden the establishment of joint stock banks even of deposit. If the law were as it is pro posed to be declared, the provisions in the various Bank Acts could not have assumed their present shape. At the very outset the right of Parliament to allow the esta blishment of banks of deposit must have been declared, and more especially the 7th of George IV. could not have been framed as it stands. It enables the establishment of banks, in England, consisting of more than six partners, and authorises them to issue bills at any place exceeding 65 miles from London, provided that they have no house of business as bankers in London, or at any place not exceed. ing 65 miles from London. The first provision, therefore, as to establishing banks in general, without restraint, and the power to issue bills at any place exceeding 65 miles from London, is also general ; but the prohibition limits the last mentioned power to firms all of whose establishments are more than 65 miles from London. Now, if the new view than six months would have been confined, in the first instance, to those bankers who carried on their business wholly at a distance exceeding 65 miles from London, and there would have been no prohibiting proviso. It is quite clear that neither the framers of the various Bank Acts, nor the Legislature in passing those Acts, took the view of the law which the Government now considers the correct one, and the general opinion of the community has always been against the right now claimed. This is proved in the strongest manner by the acts of the monied men of England contrary to their wishes and interest. Great weight surely is due to a universal practice during a century and a quarter, and contemporaneous usage has always b een cons id ere d t o b e en titl e d to g reat attention. If the Bank Acts could have borne the construction now put upon them, is it net probable that some of the vast capital thrown away in late years in the bubble companies would have been applied to the object of joint-stock de posit banks in London? It may be right to observe that the private trade of bankers who succeeded to the gold smiths is not prohibited by the Bank Acts. Their es• tablishments, as they are conducted, do not constitute a bank within the provision of the Acts. But they have in practice been confined to six persons. This does not arise from any express prohibition, but may have been occasioned by the prohibition against more than six persons owing money on any bill payable in less than six months, which practically may interfere with the common course of a priive banker's business; or it may, by an easy analogy, have been considered that the establish ment of a company of more than six, for any banking purpose, would he a hank struck at by the Acts of Par liament. It is manifest that even a bank of deposit could not he managed without some Parliamentary or Royal sanction ; of course no Royal sanction could be given to any such bank whilst the present Bank Acts remain unrepeaterl ; but the proposed declaration would give a Parliamentary sanction to such establishments, and that would obviously lead to other provisions in their favour. The 7tli of George IV. is a Parliamentary recognition that a bank of more than six could not have been esta blished without the aid of the Legislature ; for it starts with an enactment authorizing the establishment and car rying on of such banks " in like manner as copartnerships of bankers consisting of not more aan si.z• persons in number may lawfully do ;" and the Government in the first draft of their Bill so treated the law. Upon the whole, in our opinion, the proposed cause is not a declaration, as it professes to be, of the existing law, but a repeal of that law, and a substitution of a new one, and is in plain opposition to the terms of the contract, as originally pro posed by the Government to the Bank.

THE Moons.—The great advent of the sporting season was this year ushered in by highly favourable weather. Monday the 12th was clear and dry, ond sot too close or sultry. The sport in this neighbourhood has been pretty good. Sir Francis Mackenzie, Bart., killed upwards of sixty brace; Sir George Mackenzie, But. had nearly equal success; and the sport at Aberarder, as stated by one of the partivs, was above an average, The party at Balmacaan had also good sport. Lord Castlereagh went on Saturday to his quarters at Guisachau, but, having tried only the low grounds, his Lordship is said to have had but indifferent luck. The Marquis of Carmarthen had joined Lovat at his grounds at Killin, Stratherrick. Lord Cawdor and son had good sport on the grounds at Cawdor.

THE PROROGATION.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer on Tuesday directed the preparation of the .‘ Sessic nal Addresses," in order to move them this day. These addresses, which are for the salaries, &c., of the officers of the House, are always deemed the closing acts of the session. The report of address will be pre sented to-morrow. The Lords, it is calculated, will have disposed of the business before them by Tuesday or Wed nesday, so that the prorogation will be on Wednesday or this day week at farthest. The KING, it is at present ar ranged, will prorogue in person. CHOLERA 114 HIGH LIFE.---Yesterday morning the funeral of Lady CHARLOTTE BERKELEY, sister of the Duke of RICHMOND, and wife of the Hon. Captain BERKELEY, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, took place at Sr. Martin's Church. The funeral was attended by Captain BERKELEY, the Duke of RictimoNn, Lord SEAGRAVE (brother of Captain BERKELEY), Lords GCORCE, WILLIAM, and SUSSEX LENNox. Her Ladyship was seized with malignant cholera on Sunday evening, and notwithstanding every attention by Dr. HAIR, surgeon to the Blues, she died at twenty minutes before nine on Mon day evening. During her illness her family were unre muting in their attentions. Captain BERKELEY, Lords GEORGE, WILLIAM, and SUSSEX LENNOX, never left the bedside of the sufferer till her decease. Her Ladyship was in her 29th year, and she married in Dec., 1823. CHAPLAINCY OF ST. SAVIOUR'S, SOUTH WARIC.—The office of Chaplain of the above parish hav ing become vacary, by the death of the Rev. Dr. HARBI m.)N, the friends of the different candidates are now carrying on an active canvass. The following are the names of the crididates :—Rev. War. CURLING, M. A., Rev. JOHN Wir.coir, M. A., Rev. H. S. PLUMPTRE, M.A., Rev. SAMUEr. BENSON (the Curate), M.A., Rev. ROBERT SOUTH, M.A., Rev. Jos. WHITE NIBLOCK, D.D., and the Rev. J. H. PRICE, LL.D. The salary of the office is 3001. per annum, exclusive of the fees arising from weddings, churchings, chri-tenings, and burials. Messrs. Cuar.ucc and WILCOX preached their probationary sermons, to crowded congregations, on Sunday last; Messrs. PLIIMPTRE and BENSON will preach theirs on Sundry ; Messrs. SOUTH and NIBLOCK, on Sunday, the Ist of September; and the Rev. Dr. Pnzce, on the Bth of September. The election is appinted to take place on Tuesday, the 10th of September, and a very severe three days contest is anticipated. By accounts from the Archipelago, we learn that a noted band of pirates, which infested the Gulf of Salonica, bad been captured by an English corvette, on their return from an expedition which they bad made to Cassandra and to Mount Athos, to put under contribution the religious hnuses and the convents. Pressed by the corvette, which gave them chase, they sought a refuge at Teasos; but they were intercepted by a corps of troops sent from Cavalla, and, to avoid falling into the hands of the Turks, they surrendered to the Env,lish. Six vessels, manned by I'7o men, under the orders of five chiefs—viz , CAVANITZOBULGARI, MICHALI BASILI,JANI HYDRIOTY, BASILI ZAGURIANOS, and MuriAnEm COLONIA, had been taken. A considerable quantity of merchandise had been seizedo3nobzoordo ptr these ias b es a . rques, a quantity of arms, and a sum of FIRE AT THE CUSTOM-HOUSE.—A Pro clamation from the Lords Justices, issued in consequence of the receipt of an anonymous letter by Mr. GgAVeS, one of the Magistrates engaged in the inquiry, off rs a reward of 300/. for the discovery of the person or persons, if any such there be, who maliciously set fire to the Custom-house stores ; or, if the fire were not the result of malice, a reward of 1001. is offered for evidence of the cause of the catastrophe. It will be seen, by reference to the proclamation, which appears in our advertidinr columns, that nothing is stated regarding the fire having been the work of an incendiary, with the exception of an allegation to that effect in th e anonymous letter addressed to the Magistrates.—Dublin Morning Register, Tuesday. - - - AN OPEN DAY RESURRECTIONIST.-0 , 1 Thursday last, in Open day, a drunken fellow was detected endeavouring to exhume the body of his wife from the churchyard, in Grantham, where she bad been buried more than six months. He was discovered by a female before he had penetrated far into the earth, and was taken to gaol. The next morning he was brought before the magistrates, and pleaded being drunk.

Zioton Herald, FRENCH PAPERS. (From Galignanrs Messenger of Tuesday.) Letters of the 16th inst., from Bash., announce that order has been re-established ; business has been resumed, and 'he money and valuable effects removed to St. Louis have been brought hack. The force of the army of occu pation amounts to 15,000 men ; but the town is recon ciled to this, by seeing that the country is also occupied by federal troops. A commission has been appointed to inquire into the occurrences of the 2d and 3d. The Helvetie of Porentruy says,—" What will the Diet do, now that it has caused the two separated cantons to be occupied ? Will it attempt a reunion ? This would be desirable, if it could be effected voluntarily ; but that is quite impossible. The wisest mode of pro ceeding on the part of the Diet would be to sanction again the constitutions of the two exterior cantons, and to convoke the constituencies of Basle town and Schweitc interior." Accounts from Landau have reached us to the 16th instant. From the exertions of the authorities order has been restored, and the peace of the town has remained un disturbed since the 14th. The foreman of the jury was sufficiently recovered to resume his functions on the 15th, and the trial proceeded till the 16th, when all the prison ers were acquitted. The Frankfort Journal contains the following : " The Society of Giovane Italia has just given a strong proof of its existence in the Austrian States of Italy. The diligence from Mestre was recently stopped by a band of men, who, having carefully examined the passports of the passengers, singled out one, and barba rously murdered him before the face of his companions. It appears that the unfortunate person was identified by them as having formerly belonged to the Carhonari, and af•erwards seceded, and made revelations of the secrets of the sect, which led to further important discoveries. He had been c )ndemned to death in pursuance of the statutes of the Giovane Italia." The Augsburg Gazette of the 16th inst., contains the following of the 10th from Vienna :—" We learn that the absence of Prince Mettetnich from this capital will he longer than was expected. It is again asserted that the Emperor of Russia will arive in Bohemia in a few weeks, whence it is inferred that the Monarchs will then personally confer and decide upon the points with are now being dis cussed by their Ministers.

French.) We find by the German papers, that on the 4th inst. a quantity of snow fell at Rothenberg, near Nuremburg, and on the 6th, at Middleburgb, in Holland. In the night of the 6th there was a sharp frost at Leonberg, in Wurtemberg. The Diana di Roma states, that on July 31 the Jesuits of Rome celebrated the festival of the founder of their order, Ignacius Loyola, with the usual pomp in the c iurch of the Jesuits. The most distinguished members of the Sacred College, and of the Court of his Holiness, were present. The Ancona Journal of the 9th instant announces, after accounts from Rome, that the banker Torlonia is gone to Naples to negotiate a new loan for the Pontifical Government, and farm out the custom duties of the Roman states. A French vessel was expected at Ancona, to take home the soldiers whose term of service has expired. Yesterday the Ambassador of Queen Donna Maria had a very long conference with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, which, it is said, related to the acknowledgment of her Majesty by the Government of France. We learn from Cherbourg that during the King's visit to that port, shout 50 yachts, belonging to the Irish and the Royal Yacht Clubs, are expected to arrive, when sail. ing matches will take place between the yacht squadron and the pilot boats of Cherbourg. There will also be jousts on the water as near as possible to the shore, in order to afford amusement to the numerous visitera that may be expected there during his Majesty's stay. Fire works will be discharged from the yachts, which, as well as the French vessels in harbour, will be illuminated every night. The Gazette de France bas the following :—.6lntelii gence from the camp before Oporto has been received to day at Paris. Martha! de Bourmont had just marched at the head of 10,000 men, and leaving as great a number before the place, he was proceeding toward Lisbon, where he hoped to enter, after having rallied the corps of Cadaval and other troops, presenting an eff , ctive force nearly as great. The Constitutional troops which occupy Lishun have made no movement, and do not appear to have any intention of qnitting it."

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 25.—What was some time ago a mere report is now an undoubted fact. The Rat-. has concluded an offensive and defensive alliance with Russia, which is still kept secret, and of the contents of which only so much has transpired that Russia engages to afflrd every assistance asked for by the Porte, and that the ht ter engages in case Russia should be at war with any power whatever to treat that power san enemy; farther, that Russia renounces the repayment of the expenses of the late expedition, estimated at te❑ millions of t übles, and that the duration of the treaty is fixed for eight years. That this treaty is as advantageous to th Porte, as it greatly strengthens the power of Russia, admits of no doubt in particular. Nothing can be better adapted to defeat the ambitious plans of Mehemet Ali, should he entertain any such notions as have been conjectured. The Porte issued, a few days ago, a new coinage, the real value of which is much greater in pro portion to the nominal value, than all the coin of the same description before issued. It is" difficult to imatine how this is possible in the dilapidated state of the Turkish finances, but perhaps report has exaggerated on this point, The Accounts from Greece are very favourable.—Alge. meine Zeitunq, Aug. 16. BRUSSELS, Auo. 17.—1 n the sitting of the second Chamber, yesterday, the President said "a motion has been laid on the bureaux by M. Gendebien ; it will be referred to the sections, which will decide whether there are reasons to authorise its being read."—(Profound silence.) M. Ernest brought up a new report on the project of law relative to extradition. The first article being read, M. de l3rouchere said that the amendment of the central section had wholly changed the nature of the project, and asked it the Government agreed to it. M. Lebeau replied in the affirmative. In the debate which ensued, M. de Brouckere and M. de Robaulx spoke against the laws as unnecessary, he mentioned that the practice of extradition had never sub• sisted in Belgium, even under the Austrian Government. De Robaulx said, What need have we of laws to sup port the laws of foreign nations, when we do not yet know whit we are ourselves. We have no political ex istence i❑ Europe, fir your treaty of November 15 i s abolished, it exists no longer ; you are not re cognised by either Prussia or Russia, and yet you will make a law to give up their criminals to them, and you will surrender to the executioners political transgressors who will be accused of robbery and murder. The law is dangerous in the hands of any ministers ; much more so in those of a ministry which has not our confidence, and always acts under the influence of France. Well, gentle men, let us submit—let us make of Belgium a French province : it will be much the shortest way. There are in 131 ussels about 300 political and other refugees, who have brought hither large capitals. Can they be affected by this law ? There is nothing that says the contrary. It I were in their situation, I should pack up my effects and go to some country where honour and liberty are more respected. I vote against the law as injurious to the national dignity.—Adjourned till to-tnorrow,..Brusse/s poperi l Aug. 18. COURT CIRCULAR. The anniversary of the King's natal day was celebrated yesterday at Windsor Castle. A Royal salute was fired from Fort Belvedere at one o'cloek, and one also from the frigate on Virginia Water. Shortly before 3 o'clock their Majesties entered an open carriage and four, accompanied by the Duke of Cumber land and the Duchess of Gloucester, and drove through the town of Windsor to the Long Walk, followed by the Duke of Gloucester, the Duke of Dorset, Earl of Mount- Edgcunabe, Lerd Hill, Sir James Ketript, Countess of Brownlow and Miss Hope Johnstone (Lady and Maid of Honour waiting on the Queen), Sir Wathen Waller, Lady Sophia Cust, Colonel Wood, Rev. Dr. Kuper, Lord Elphinstone, the Earl of Brownlow, the Dean of Hereford, Miss d'Este, Miss Begot, Miss Boyle, Sir H. Wheatley, Sir Andrew Barnard, Lords Frederick and Adolphus Fitzclarence, in seven carriages and four. Prince George of Cambridge, Colonel Horace Seymour, and others of the Royal party were on horseback. The Royal cortege proceeded down the Long Walk to Virginia Water, and afterwards returned to the Castle. The Swedish Minister and Countess Bjornstjern4, and many of the Nobility and Gentry of the neighbourhood, left their names at the Castle during the day. A grand dinner was given in the evening in St. George's Hall to the members of the Royal Family, Prince Alex ander and Prince Charles of Solms. the whole of the Cabinet Ministers, the Commander-in• Chief and the officers of his staff, the Master. General of the Ordnance, the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Secretary at War, the Hanoverian Minister and his son, Baron Otho d'Ompteda, the Field Officers of the 2d Life Guards and the Grenadier Guards, the Nobility of the neighbourhood, and the Household of their Majesties—forming altogether a party of 120. St. George's Hall presented a very imposing appear ance. A table extended nearly the entire length, which was covered with the magnificent service of gilt plate. In the middle was placed the centre-piece executed last year by Messrs. Rundell and Bridge for the birthday of the Queen ; it is the largest centre-piece in the Royal col lection ; it is ornamented with various groups, the principal of which is formed by the Combat of St. George and the Dragon. The regimental colours of the Grenadier Regi ment of ,Foot Guards were displayed at the sides of the middle window of the Hall, and on the opposite side were grouped the silver drums presented by his present Majesty to the 2d Regiment of Life Guards, together with the colours of the regiment. At the end olthe Hall was a beaufet of choice articles of gold plate, the back ground formed by crimson dra peties. At the top was placed Flaxman's Shield of Achilles; beneath this was an ancient tankard, carved in ivory, with figures of gold. At the bottom, upon a semi circular projection, stood the celebrated unique spe cimen by Cellini. Massy salvers, tankards, and cups, elaborately embellished, were arranged on the beaufet, interspersed with silver sconces, containing wax lights. These sconces were of the date of Charles I.: they are surmounted by a crown, beneath which is a star of the Order of the Garter, encircled with the motto. The tout ensemble laarl a very elegant effect ; when seen from some diitance, the beaufet appeared as if suspended by ►he drapery from the points of lances, which crossed each other. On his Majesty's health being drunk after dinner, a royal salute was fired from the north terrace of the Castle. Another salute was fired when the Queen's health was drunk. Their Majesties had afterwards an evening party. The three drawing rooms, the corridor, and the refreshment room, were brilliantly illuminated on the occasion. The company amounted to nearly 200, in addition to the party at the dinner. All the superb household furniture, paintings, gold and silver plate, blood horse•, horned cattle, and sheep, the property of Lord CLANMORRIS, were sold under various executions this week at Newbrook, Ltmerick Chronicle, of Aug. 17. A most destructive fire broke out at Mr. HORNER'S, of Chilton, near Sudbury, on Tuesday mt,rn ing, about one o'clock. Several of the stacks, &c., were still burning when the intelligence of the fire was dis patched. At St. Sebastian, in Spain, at a recent bull fight, a three-year old bull, after having killed no fewer than 17 horses, was mortally wounded by a Piccadore. In the agonies of death he leaped over the barrier amongst the spectators, killed one man, and injured many others by trampling them under foot. A second combat was then given for the benefit of the sufferers.— Galiynani's Messenger. At Britford fair, last week, about 40,000 sheep and lambs were penned, being full 8,000 more than last year, and were all sold at prices averaging 3s. a head above those of last year. THE MOORS. The accounts from the moors are very favourable. In some places the birds are strong on the wing, and bard to come at; but we hear that an immense quantity of game has been shot on the Saddleworth, Marsden, and Meltham moors. Game sold in Leeds, on Monday and Tuesday, as high as 10s. a brace; but has since declined in price.—Leeds Intel ligencer. FOOLS AND THEIR MONEY, &C.—HORACE WALPOLE says that Lord ROCKINGHAM and Lord OR FORD once laid a bet of 5001., between five turkeys and five geese, to run from Norwich to London. Mr. DONOVAN, an Irish chymist, is said to have found out that that noxious weed, couch-grass, will, by distillation, furnish excellent whisky--an acre of it yielding 120 gallons of genuine potheen! We have just been informed that the French Government has directed M. DE LEUSE, who is now at Oporto, to proceed to Lisbon, where he will act as Charge d'Affaires, until the Government as'u mes a settled form. The brother of the Empress, son of BEauttaateols, and a Prince of Bavaria, is to accompany the Empress and the QUEEN, who will not go in a French frigate, as was at first talked of. It is rumoured at Paris, that Don PEDRO wishes his daughter to marry the brother of the Empress, who is to accompany them to Lisbon—but this may be merely the rumour of the hour.—Morning Paper. TITHES IN WESTMEATIL—We have re ceived a letter from a farmer in the neighbourhood of Mull agar, who states that on last Thursday he was ar rested on a tithe decree as he was returnin; from chapel. He states that he was dragged as if he were a common robber through the country, and into the town where the market was full. The p rson who had him in eustody would not even permit him to stop on the road to take a drink of water to assuage his thirs. ! There is no church in the parish in which this tithe defaulter lived !! ! Dublin Moining Register, Tuesday. Ott Monday, the sth inst., Mr. SMYTH, of Rosspark, Lower Ormond, county of Tipperary, accom panied by RICHARD PHILIPS, Esq., of Oakh trnpton, at tended at his farm, the Inches, to let over 175 acres of meadowing to such persons as were in the habit of taking them, as well as others, when, alter setting a good part of them at the time, surrounded by over 100 persons, three armed men burst through the crowd, two of wham put cocked pistols to Mr. SMYTH'S head, where they conti need them for several minutes, at the same time handing him a notice, swearing they would blow his brains out if he (Mr. SMYTH) did not comply with what it stated. The third man kept his pistol to Mr. Plumes in the same way. After so doing, they passed on withuu molestation. —Tipperary Free Press. PARLIAMENTARY REGISTER FOR EDIN BURGH.—The Sheriff Depute opened the Court of Claims fur the City on Wednesday, and except 17 cases standing over, we are enabled to state the correct result :—New claims lodged 602—in the liberal interest 433, conserva tive 188, politics unknown 31.

REGAL FR I ENDSHlP.—Mordecal, a very rich Jew, resided in Prussia, in the time of Frederick th e Great, and was in high favour with his Majesty, an d a very us.tful person to him. Certain apprehensions, how ever, arising in the Jew's mind, that a very wealthy sub ject was not in the most safe situation while under an arbitrary sovereign, he resolved within himself to get out of the Prussian dominions, together with his property, as soon as he could a ccomplish it. But this he saw was not possible to be done till he had procured the king's consent. He, therefore, in the humblest and most cunning manner, wrote to Fredetick to obtain his permission, alleging that both his health and affairs required his departure. But the more crafty king, Who probably saw through his design, returned this short but aff ec tionate answer..." My dear Mordecai, nothing but de a th s hall part us. Frt.
