improvement which is called for in this respect is a very simple one—viz., that the judicial business of this and of every county should he solely confided to judicial hands, leaving the fiscal concerns of the counties in those of the persons who now exercise them. In the metropo litan county an improvement of another description is also wanting, which is the getting rid of the anomaly of the divided jurisdiction in criminal cases which at present exists between the two Courts at the Old Bailey and Clerkenwell. The county of Middlesex is the only one in the kingdom in which the Judges of the land never see or come in contact with the Grand Jury of the gaol deli very ; but who, on the contrary, are sworn in, and charged by the Chairman of the Bench of Magistrates, who, on his part, never sees the depositions upon which his charge, if of any value, (me tto be founded. When we add to this the extreme absurdity, to call it nothing more, of what has just occurred —viz., that the existence and proceedings of both these Courts are made to depend upon the fact of one or rr ore persons attending a Court, at which they are previously aware there will he no business to transact, surely more than enough will have been stated to draw the attention of the Government and the Legislature to a state of things utterly incompatible with law or order.— Morning Herald. We have repeatedly called the attention of the citizens of London to the superior claims of Mr. Hill to the appointment of their Common-Sergeant, and pointed out their duty and interest in electing a gentleman of his admitted knowledge, capacity, and independence, to that high office. We have contended that a judicial office should be the reward or the prize of political parti sanship; but we must maintain that where professional qualifications and legal accomplishments are combined with liberal political principles, the latter afford an addi tional recommendation to any honour which the citizens of London can bestow. We can easily conceive that cases may arise in which it will not be more necessary to have in their Common Sergeant a man of legal knowledge and ju dicial integrity, than of liberal views, moral courage, and political independence. Mr. Hill has, during his whole career at the bar, displayed his fitness in all these respects for the appointment, and we cannot, therefore, anticipate his failure in the election, which comes on to-day. Of bis antagonist, Mr. Blirehouse, we never heard a word be fore the present contest, and it would appear that his own profession had heard nearly as little. He has been called upon to verify his declaration as to the seven briefs which he held at the last Lent assizes for Chelmsford ; and even this trifling certificate to legal practice cannot be ob tained. The seven briefs turn out to be one,—a proper measure of his relative claim to the votes of the citizens of the Common Council at their this day's meeting.— Times. The Inquest on the Waterman John Wood having at last terminated, we give in our Paper of to-day an abstract of the lengthened proceedings, retaining every material point of evidence ; the greater portion of the six days baying been consumed in the most idle inquiries and dis creditable brawling. We present our readers with this report, not because any intrinsic interest attaches to the investigation, but as displaying the animus with which the jury set themselves to inquire into the subject, sworn as they were to judge calmly and impartially. From the very commencement of the proceedings a most decided bias was manifested against the police, and a predetermina tion shown to look only to one side of the question. In stead of twelve dispassionate and impartial judges there were collected as many vulgar partisans; and, for the calmness which ought to have characterized such an in quiry, was substituted a scene of noise, confusion, and violence, tending to bring the very name of jury into contempt, and tender it a byword of reproach and mockery. The Coroner, who conducted himself through out with the utmost good sense and forbearance, was actually at one period in personal danger, for venturing to tell the Jury that they were prejudiced. A Jury ap pro cling the Coroner with clenched fists ! Oh ! digni fled and upright judges ! But the proceedings on this inquest are not without a parallel ; they have a fitting companion in the Calthorpe•street affair. In both cases evidence in favour of the police was stigmatised as un worthy of credit; while any assertions to their disad vantage were received with " Hears" End clapping of hands. In the one case, the most malicious and savage murder of a policeman is decided to be " justifiable homicide ;" in the other, where a man in the worst state of drunkenness falls and fractures his skull, a verdict is re turned of " wilful murder" against a policeman. The two verdicts are on a par in their disgraceful character, or rather the last has, if possible, been pronounced still more directly in the teeth of fact and of law, than the former. The evidence of various police men and others, given in the c'earest manner, conclusively proves that, after the deceased fell outside the public house, every care and attention was paid to him, till he was lodged in the station-house. One witness only de poses to seeing a blow with a truncheon, which, how ever, must have been inflicted on some other person; for whereat the deceased was so thoroughly intoxietted as to he unable to keep his feet for a moment, the other per son is stated to have been struck after a chase of thirty or forty yards. The eagerness of the Jury to turn eve!) , scrap of evidence to the disadvantage of the police, dis plays a feeling that is largely participated in by the class to which the said Jury belong. But to what to attribute this feeling, unless to a sympathy with drunk ards, rioters, pickpockets, and bad characters of all descriptions ; we scarcely know. That some instances of irregular conduct have occurred among the police force, extended as it is all over the metropolis, we do not attempt to deny. But, so far from casting discredit on the whole body, the paucity of these instances, when put in comparison with their general excellent conduct, constitute one of their highest claims to praise. Not withstanding the difficulty of the situations in which they are perpetually placed, it is but very rarely they can be charged with tin undue or harsh exercise of their autho rity; they act, almost universally, with great discretion and forbearance, and appear actuated by a sincere and single desire to preserve peace in the streets and give pro tection to the inhabitants of the metropolis. Perhaps, indeed, these very qualities, which entitle them to the gratitude of all respectable and well disposed persons, have brought down upon them the ill will and hatred of those who desire above all things to see disorder predominant and to accomplish the overthrow of all constituted autho rity.—Morning Post. MR. BANKES, M.P.—At a general meeting of the Vestry of St. Margaret's parish, Westminster, held yesterday in the Vestry-room of St. Margaret's Church, it was unanimously resolved that the prosecution of Mr. Biomes, M.P. for Dorsetahire, on the charge brought against him a short time since, at Queen square Police office, should be carried on at the parish expense. At the Nottingham Assizes on Tuesday, Rich a rd Lowater, aged 21 years, was charged with the wilful murder of Richard Elliott. Ater evidence had been beard, the Jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—At the Lincoln Assizes an action was brought by Mr. SMITH, a farmer to recover 11 guineas, the price of 1I sheep sold to a butcher, named WOOLRIDGE. The sale and delivery of the sheep were proved. For the defence no witnesses were calhd, but his counsel a,'ured the jury that the defendant had paid fur the sheep, though he had no evidence of the fact. Mr. Justice PARK charged the jury to find ac cording to the evil, nee, not on the assertion of the defen e'.ant's counsel. The jury, to the amazement of the Court, found a verdict for the eefendant. Mr. Justice PARK— Gentlemen, you have found a verdict against evidence and your own consciences. Let another jury be sworn. The jury was accordingly dismissed, and another immediately e ailed. For some weeks past public curiosity has been e x c ited by the erection of a remarkably high chimney at the soda manufactory of Mr. Clapham, at Friar's Goo.e, near this town. This chimney has been completed during the present wei-k, and is, we believe, the highest in Great Britain, and probably in the world. Its top is exactly 254 feet 9 inches above the foundation upon which it rests, and 246 feet above the surface of the ground at its base. Ita dimensions are beautifully proportioned, and the work manship is 80 excellent, that, notwithstanding its extra ordinary height, it deviates but one inch and three-eighths from the perpen lieular. Great credit is due to Mr. CLAPHAMS manager, Sir. JOHN LEE, by whom the work was designed, and und, r whose assiduous superintendence it has been 80 ably accomplished. Mr. LIVINGSTONE, the bricklayer who conducted the work, is also entitled to very great praise. On Tuesday a party of gentlemen ascended to the top of the chimney, and afterwards par. took of an entertainment within at the bottom, where the evening was spent with great conviviality.—Newcastle Chronicle.

HINTS TO MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT.-- At table we heard a good deal of general conversation, Allusion was made to a recent instance of those violent and confused debates so frequent in the French Chambers. The Emperor (Don PEDRO) remarked that when he should have established a Chamber at Li,bon, be would require each Member to wash his head in cold water previously to entering on business.—liodye's Farrative of the Expedition to Portuial. LITERATURE. _EDINBURGH REVIEW. No. CX VI. EDINBURGH, 1833. In the article entitled " State and Prospects of the Drama," which heads the present num ber, and in which a deserved complimentary notice is made of Mr. Sheridan Knowles's plays, the Reviewer takes a very lugubrious view of his subject. He assigns a variety of reasons for the present degraded state of the national drama, but comes to no conclusion, proposes no plans for its regeneration. Its decay, we think, may very easily be accounted for, without running into abstruse theories ; first, by the intolerably late hours which the higher and middling classes (who are the chief patrons of the stage) keep ; secondly, by the general prevalence of clubs, which form the evening's lounge of those " men about town," who formerly killed time at Drury-lane or Covent-garden ; and thirdly, by the utter absence of superior attractions on the boards either of Drury-lane or Covent garden. We have many excellent actors and actresses ; but not one of paramount ability : not one who would repay a family for putting itself to the slightest inconvenience. Till we have a better stock of performers, who are worthy to represent the tragic and comic cha racters of Shakspeare, and give point to the attic wit of Sheridan, we must be hopeless of the stage's regeneration. The patronage of Royalty, as the Reviewer seems to insinuate, has little or nothing to do with the question. " Captain Head's Steam Navigation to India," is an interesting subject, very ably and impar tially canvassed. The writer laughs at the idea of the Russians being ever able to attack our Indian possessions with any prospect of success. " French Literature : Recent Novelists," is an eloquent, animated essay on the present state of the more imaginative class of writings in France. Judging from internal evidence,—from the care lessness but vigour of the style—the rich fertility of illustration—and the profusion of metaphor— we should be inclined to attribute this article to the pen of Mr. Macauley. At any rate, it is not unworthy of him. We subjoin an extract as being very characteristic : " At this moment the literature of France has neither the calm self-balanced and tranquil dignity of a literature of belief, nor the resistless and overbearing strength which characterised the destructive literature of the eighteenth century. In truth, that literature might be called in one sense a literature of conviction. The destruction of what was then branded by the name of superstition, the belief in the boundless energies and inherent excellence of human nature,--philosophy, in short, falsely so called, was to that period the substitute for the religious convictions and deference to authority which had formed the constructive, or rather cementing principles, of the ages which had preceded it ; the bond which fur the time united men in the ranks of one crusade. The evils which were to be the result of this new illumination, the void which would be left in society when that terrible array should have struck its camp, and left desolate the country through which their march had lain, had not then been impressed upon the mind by that most unanswerable of teachers, Experi ence. No doubts then occurred to damp expectation ; all were confident in the regeneration of mankind through this modern Apocalypse ; actions and opinions tended to one clear and definite end—the overthrow and removal of all that was, to make way for that which was to come. So long as the walls of the old edifice were crashing around them, and temple and tower, crucifix and throne, one by one, went to the ground, all was harmony and gayety among the workmen ; they saw and were delighted with their visible progress; the carpenter encouraged the gold smith, and he that smoothed with the hammer him that smote on the anvil,—not now to build up, as of old, but to pull down ; while Europe stood aghast at the tremendous power thus brought into play; and, as the echo of each successive downfall burst upon its ear, trembled within its courts and palaces, for the stability of its institutions." " Recent Travels in Upper India," is a slight, superficial review, calling for no particular com ment. " Mrs. Austin's Characteristics of Goethe" is evidently a critique that has been drawn up with infinite care and diligence. Am ple justice is done to the merits of this very candid and eloquent translator—by far the best of the day. Speaking of Goethe, the Reviewer underates him as a philosopher, but gives him abundant praise as a poet. He says that his mind was a power which refused all direction ; which wandered about without any direct aim or object ; which produced no school, formed no system, but was sadly addicted to quarrel with all those who possessed a firmer faith, or more practical disposition. " The admiration," adds the Reviewer, " which Goethe has achieved, is but a barren wreath, whose flowers can never ripen into fruit." " Recollections of a Cha peron," is a favourable (but not more so than it deserves) notice of a clever series of tales pub lished some time since under this name. " Wright's Translation of the Inferno of Dante," is an elaborate critique, but scarcely equal to the notice of the same book in the last number of the Quarterly. The Reviewer does not enter so heartily into his subject; he does not discuss it with such relish ; hence, though equally fami liar with his subject ; he does not impart to it so fine a flavour. " Beranger's Last Songs," contains some spirited translations from the " chansons " of France's most popular poet. The genius, however, of the French minstrel is, we cannot help suspecting, overrated. " Com plaints and Proposals regarding Taxation," is the production of a genuine, thick-and-thin supporter of Whigism and the Whigs, who begins by congratulating the House of Com mons on the spirited determination they have shown to resist all attempts for the further re duction or commutatio❑ of taxes ! This is a fair sample of the sort of spirit that pervades the article. Of the few remaining articles, we have merely left ourselves space to say that they arc well worth perusal. ROYAL CORK YACHT CLUB. —Thursday was a splendid day with the Clubs. The Marquis of THOILOND joined the fleet at Cove about one, when the yachts got under weigh, and manoeuvred by signal from his Lordship. As the wind was pretty strong from the south-west, they did not go out to sea, but in order to gratify the residents in Cove, they continued their wanceu vres inside the harbour. They first proceeded in line to Monkstown, and while sailing in this order the fleet pre sented a most beautiful and interes ing sight. On the Admiral's return to the Spit Buoy, signal was made for hailing close on the starboard tack with a view to stand ing out betwe , n the forts, but lying up rather too close to the bank, in order to keep a good wind, his Lordship's yacht grounded. The rising tide, however, soon set her at liberty. Signal was then made for forming into double line. This manceuvri was performed in tine style, and the ti et again stood up to Moukstown. On their arrival there, a heavy squall, with rain, coming on, signal was once more made, and the yachts proceeded to their mcor ing.— Cork Constitution. _ _ A new• and " splendid" portrait of Mr.O'CoN NELL, "as large as life," has just been affixed over tte door of a gin-shop in Cosv•crosa.

Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. tuft. ‘,.. ..... LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 25, 1833. The House of Lords again resolved itself into Committee last night on the Irish Church Temporalities Bill, and proceeded with it as far as the 78th Clause. On the 55th Clause, the Duke of WELLINGTON proposed an amendment, which he afterwards consented to withdraw, in order that it might stand over for future consideration. Lord WHARNCLIFFE proposed an amendment to the 61st Clause, to the effect that the produce of the taxation on the livings should not go towards the reduction of the Church Cess, but should be appropriated to the augmentation of the smaller livings. After some little discus sion, the clause was rejected by a majority of 20. It will be recollected by our mercantile readers that an Act which had been in existence for some years, permitting the entry of foreign sugars for the purpose of refining expired in 1831, and that the opposition of the West In dian interest prevented its renewal. These worthy people saw that the exportation of refined sugar had gradually risen to about half a million cwt., and fancied that by putting a stop to the importation of foreign sugar they should get the benefit of this con sumption. They had influence enough in the unre formed House of Commons to carry their point; the Bill permitting the importation of foreign sugars was not renewed. But what was the consequence ? That the West Indians pros pered ? No, but that the refiners have been brought to the verge of ruin. The West Indies cannot supply sugar of the quality m ost fi tte d for refining, and the consequenc e h as b een, t h at a manufacture in which large capitals have been embarked, and which has given employment to thousands, has been reduced almost to a nullity. Mr. CLAY, the Member for the Tower Ham lets, last night brought these circumstances before the House, and moved this resolution as an amendment to the reading of the order of the day for going into Committ ee on t h e Slavery Abolition Bill—" That it is exp e di ent t h at foreign sugar be immediately , ad m i tte d f or re fining for exportation. i Lord A LTHORP ob jected to the word " immediat e ly," un l ess i t applied to the refining of sugar i n bond, in order that the West Indian monopoly of the Home Market might not be encroached upon. To refining foreign sugar in bond he had no objection. Mr. POULETT THOMSON went upon the same principle, and said that he had a Bill prepared which would allow foreign sugars to be so refined. Both his speech and Mr. CLAY'S will be found well worthy of attention. The result of the discussion (not heard very clearly by the reporters) was, as we see b y t h e House of Commons' votes, that Mr. CLAY withdrew his original motion, and proposed the following resolution, which was agreed to nesn. con. " That it is expedient that sugar be admitted for refining, under lock, for the purpose of exportation." We do not object to excluding from this country the pro duce of slave labour, but we see no reason why the British public should be excluded from the use of foreign sugar, the best of all adapted for refining, if at some future time such sugar shall not be raised by slave labour. Now that we are preparing for the abolition of slavery in our colonies, would be a proper time to declare that foreign sugar sh all be admitted for home consumption, when sla very shall cease to exist in the countries whence it comes—of course, on the payment of a duty somewhat higher than that paid by home-grown sugar. Lord SANDON deprecates, we see, any step which can tend at present to disquiet the West Indians ; but surely, when, with unex ampled liberality, they are having bestowed upon them 20,000,0001. for the chance of an injury to property which they declare has only been a source of loss for years, it must be a good time for the public, who pays the 20,000,0001., to put in its just claims. A Committee of the House of Commons has been prevailed upon to adopt the view taken of beer-shops by publicans, and by Magistrates who license public-houses, though one of the latter, who was examined, has hit the nail upon the head. He stated that the Magistrates of his county (Devon) at one time acted upon the principle of lessening the number of public houses, but they found that by thus creating a monopoly in the sale of beer, they only rendered the article bad and dear. They, therefore, al tered their system, and granted a license to every respectable person who applied for it, and, in fact, opened the trade in public-houses. Beer shops in Devonshire thus only opened the trade still more, and lowered the price while they have improved the quality of beer. The Magis trate of another county (Buckingham), though he confounds the effect with the cause, states the matter not very incorrectly when he says, I consider that the labouring classes being thrown out of their work, and idle habits coming on, they have been very glad to find those places of resort to spend their time in." He does not connect increase of crime with the beer-shop, but young men idling about are obliged to do something or another to gain a maintenance, which they do not get from their work—and that while the wages of married labourers have been i*ised, those of unmarried labourers have not, and this is the cause why they have increased in demoralization." Distress and demoraliza tion, which are universally admitted through out the evidence, are ascribed to beer-shops, although it is also admitted that distress and demoralization prevailed before the beer shops came into existence. The causes of dis tress and demoralization are the want of employ ment of capital as well as of labour ; and to remove the evils which are ascribed to the beer shops, those things which drive capital as well as labour from the pursuits of industry, will be found in the operation of-the power of expand ing and contracting the currency possessed by the Bank of England, in the operation of the present corn laws, and of the administration of the poor laws. These things, however, are be yond the ken of county Magistrates ; but we wish our Legislators would apply themselves rightly and tightly to them. The further the case of Lord WARWICK, with the infamous actions of his dependants and political tools, is pursued, the more nefarious it appears ; and the more grave and condign will be the ultimate exposure and punishment of all the parties implicated in the vile attacks on the purity and freedom of election in the borough of Warwick. Indeed, the evidence would be scarcely credible but for the variety of mal-practices proved, and which show a long premeditated conspiracy to defraud the burgesses of their franchises. Corp orators, subservient attorneys, stewards, menials, and lick-spittle gentry—all seem enlisted in the corps of the LORD LIEUTENANT, and arrayed against the liberties and morals of their fellow-townsmen. Can we wonder that the moral or political con dition of the constituency is debased,—or that the " Conservative" Tories despise, hate, and fear the people,—when they thus systematically deceive and demoralise them ? So large a haul' of political delinquency has never before been netted or successfully landed ; anti we ardently hope that the most will be made of it. Lord WARWICK will henceforth be a scare-crow, warning the other Noble marauders of popular rights, and we anticipate the best consequences from this signal detection and exposure. Those independent burgesses of Warwick who may have boldly contributed to the punishment of their political oppressors are not only entitled to the gratitude of their fellow -townsmen, but to the thanks and support of the whole kingdom. If any pecuniary means are wanting to insure the progress of further and expensive proceedings to Parliament, we are sure they will not be wanting from the Reformers through out England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. We have too long groaned under the dominion of the Tory aristocracy ; Conservative Lord-Lieu tenants, Tory, lay, and clerical magistrates, close and base corporations, bands of diocesan clergy, with their staff of " Deans and Chapters," have ruled with iron rods in all the cities, towns, and counties of the three king doms. The Reform Bills at length overtop them ; and will a " Liberal Government," against whom these political banditti are equally arrayed and vicious, protect such tyrants when they violate the law of the land ? We cannot believe it of the Administration of Lord GREY ; and we confidently look forward to the imme diate dismissal of Lord WARWICK from his high office, • which he can no longer a moment hold consistently with his own character, or the interests of the nation. After the question of refining foreign sugar had been disposed of, the House of Commons was last n ight occupied till long past midnight in dis cussing the following instruction of Mr. Bux- TON'S to the Committee on the Slavery Abo lition Bill : « That they shall not, for the sake of the pecuniary interests of the masters, im pose any restraint or obligation on the negro which shall not be necessary for his own welfare, a nd for the general peace and order of society : that they shall limit the duration of any tempo rary restrictions, which may be imposed on the negroes, to the shortest period which tnay be necessary to establish on just principles the system of free labour for adequate wages." One would think that the principles contained in this instruction only required enunciation to com mand general concurrence; but Mr. STANLEY thought fit to oppose them. The ground that he took up was, that 20,000,0001. did not quite compensate the planters, and that twelve years' additional labour, or payment for it, was neces sary in order to make up to them the full market value of the slave. We will put out of sight for a moment the injustice of robbing the negro by law of his liberty, even after he may have all possible fitness for freedom, and ask what right the planters have to receive the full value of their slaves ? If, as is said, the crime has been shared between the planter and this country, so ought the loss to be shared be tween them. The proposal now is, how ever, to let the planters go scot free, and share the loss between the people of this country and the negroes. The latter, at any rate, ought to have no restraint cast upon him not for his own benefit; and we trust that an amendment to that effect will be carried in Committee. The majority of his Majesty's Ministers last night was only SEVEN, the numbers being 158 to 151. Will Ministers hazard the consequences of perseverance in their plan in the face of such an opposition ? We refer with pleasure to Mr. Secretary STANLEY'S consent, in this morning's sitting, to the amendments proposed by Dr. LUSHING TON in the Committee on the Slavery Abolition Bill. The Paris papers of Monday and Tuesday mention that the works in progress for the forti fication of Paris have been everywhere suspended by order of the Government, in consequence of the Chambers refusing to vote the necessary funds. Strangers (especially Englishmen) were flocking from all quarters to Paris, to be present at the celebration of the Revolution of 1830.

DUNKIRK, JULY 17.—The Beurs, which has arrived this morning, has brought to our Board of Health information from the French Consul at Rotterdam that the cholera had appeared with considerable intensity in that city, adding, however, that the disorder seemed to be on the decrease, the number of cases being reduced by two.thirds. The Phare of Antwerp, which gives the above, says we do not learn that our magistrates have taken any measures of pre caution to hinder the contagion from being communicated by some ships from Rotterdam that arrive in our port. ANTWERP, JULY 21.—The cholera has just reappeared; a sapper of the sth regiment, who was on duty at the colonel's yesterday evening at six o'clock, died during the night. All the symptoms of that cruel disorder being recognised, the chamber of the barracks in which he died was immediately evacuated and shut up. Another case is spoken of. The accounts which we have received from Rotterdam to day, where the cholera now rages, say that the number of deaths from that terrible disorder are daily 120.—Independant.

JUNE 26.-The report lately communi cated of a treaty having been concluded between the Russian Court and the Porte appears to be unfounded. The report was mentioned with much positiveness at one Embassy only, but nothing is known of it at the others, and the first Dragoman of the Porte, with whom I have had an opportunity of conversing, contradicts it, a secret, as hereby seems, even quite superfluous for Russia. A new poll. tical catastrophe, which was impending over us, has been for tunately averted. The English squadron, under the command of Admiral Malcolm, had arrived before the Dardanelles, and wished to enter the Sea of Marmora. The commandant of the castles objected to it, and made preparations to prevent the entrance by force. He at the same time applied to the Go vernment for instructions, and received orders to refuse the entrance, and to repel force by force. The Commandant communicated these instructions to Admiral Malcolm, who likewise received a communication from Lord Ponsonby, advising him to proceed with great caution. In consequence of this, Admiral Malcolm desisted from his intention, and cast anchor close to the castles, where he will probably remain till the departure of the Russian auxiliary forces. The Russians in Sex via have made an unfavourable impression here, and Prince Milosch has totally lost the confidence of the Porte. The agents and friends of the Prince are endeavouring to justify him, but his somewhat arbitrary proceedings, although the Porte in its embarrassed situation was in a manner corn pelled to allow them, scarcely admit of any defence, as he has considerably abused the confidence of the Sultan. Two new ships of the line are now in progress of construction, and will be launched very shortly.

The Journal de Smyrna gives the following :—" Mehemet Ali, on the definitive conclusion of peace, has already formed several brilliant projects for the future benefit of his rich do minions. He is going to augment his naval forces to the number of 20 ships of the line, and his intentions are to construct a good road from Alexandria to Cairo, with a canal from Suez to the Nile, to transport his manufactures to Syria. In respect to the island of Candia, his project is to make it a free port, and to establish in Judea a maritime arsenal for his great ships. His intentions also are to proceed to Crete and who Syria, a r e accompanied c h by at t t the r C o c n o s m u m l s a n o d f France . t a e n o d f Engla nd, their e_ spective nations." _ _ Accounts from Piedmont state, that the number of persons arrested up to the 10th July were two thousand, in the diffe rent provinces. From Madrid it is stated that Government was on the point of acknowledging Donna Maria, had it not been for the interference of Russia. THE FUNDS. Up to the present hour we are entirely destitute of infor mation, as well as of arrivals, with the exception of the Estafette from Paris, which reports that a French superior officer had arrived at Brest, on his way to Portugal, with the recognition of Donna Maria by the French Government, which was to be published on the capture of Lisbon. We are now expecting every day some decisive event from Lisbon, as Napier, no doubt, arrived oft' that port with his fleet on or about the 15th inst. _ Consols,which left off yesterday 90 1 ,! for the account, opened at the same price this morning, with little or nothing doing.

COURT OF COMMON CO UNCIL. (THIS DAY.) A very full court met today in consequence of the de di for Common Sergeant having been appointed to take plac . seemed to have caused cons id era bl e exc i tement in the Loll many more strangers were present than the place &Doty . them would hold. The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR took the Chair et o'clock, when the minutes of the last Court were read confirmed. On the motion of Alderman BaowN, it was ordered the Court proceed immediately to the election of a Corn! Sergeant, the ballot to close at a quarter past thtee 0V giving two hours for it. Alderman BROWN nominated Mr. Mirehouse as a cand l4 which was seconded by Mr. Dixon. Alderman HARMER proposed Mr. Hill, which was se° by Alderman Venables. Messrs. Capes and Wood were appointed scrutineers ...- ,I part of Mr. Mirehouse, and Messrs. Stevens and Weston that of Mr. Hill. The Court then proceeded to vote according to the sell of the wards, and was proceeding when we went to press. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DA' IN RE BRUCE. Mr. Bruce applied in person at the sitting of the COO an order to prevent the Accountant-General pay sl4 12,0001. over to Lord Portmore, or his agents. under the Chancellor's decree, until Counsel could be heard Upon O F peal against that decree. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that he had no power to grant the application in the way in which it was : to him, than he h a d a r i g ht to go and take so much mon d of Lord Portmore's pocket. VICE•CHANCERY COURT—(THIS Dd DAVID RALPII GOUT V. PRODSUAM AND PARKINSON. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on behalf of the defend°, applied upon motion on the coming on of the answer for absolute dissolution of the injunction, restraining then' sending watches to Constantinople and Smyrna, marked; the word Pesendede, an d t h e name of the plaintiff in Tu rn characters. The bill, which was filed on the 4th of April' the plaintiff, a watchmaker, residing in Bunhilfr stated, that he had carried on that business „ i ll' 1821, and chiefly manuf ac t ure d watches for the Turkish rag; that in the watches man u f ac t ure d b y him was his name, the word Pesendede, in T ur ki s h characters, which had ~ imitated by the defendants, and thereby caused great DIP" him. Upon application being made some time since., Honour granted the injunction, which it was the object ° I present motion to dissolve. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated, that the defendants, are the celebrated chronometer makers of 'CO alley, were only anxious not to be deprived of using word Pesendede, and had no desire whatever te sEo py the " of the plaintiff, being convinced their own was ettlite to give their watches celebrity in the Turkish market. Turkish characters had been copied by the defendants, will in the least supposing that they represented the name 4 plaintiff, or of any party wh a t ever. The Learned Couno l conclusion, contended that, as the act complained of vrt i fectly innocent, and looking also at the conduct of the pit,' who, having written to th e d e f endants, and got all the fam Lion he wanted, instituted the present proceedings, he If° entitled to a dissolution of the injunction. Mr. SPENCE followed on the same side. Mr. KNIGHT, with whom was Mr. KOE, for the 1 0$1 0 1 contended that the ci rcumstances of the case had not,. altered since the a ppli cat i on for the injunction—that ,P evident, from the con d uct of Messrs. Parkinson and F ro that they were anxious to sell their goods under any their own—and that no person, having a desire to do was fair, would have adopted the course pursued by theo' The ATTORNEY -GENERAL having replied, His HONOUR immediately gave judgment, refusing l plication, with costs; being clearly of opinion that, O the defendants, th e p l a i ntiff had the right exclusive)) , " M the word Pesendede. f SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE —(THIS- nit FROM CLOYD'S, DEAL, JULY 24.—Wind W .
