We extract the following from a private letter, dated Alexandria, April 8 :—" The arrival of Captain Huder, Aide-de-camp of the French Ambassador in Turkey, with M. Pans4lorf, both from Toulon, has given rise to many rumours. They are said to have been sent to the Pacha to ask for the co-operation of an Egyptian squadron in the attack upon the African coast ; but you may be as sured that this cannot take place, and indeed it is no lon ger thought of. The Pacha is not in a condition to go to war on his own account—his treasury is too much ex hausted, and he is himself threatened by the Divan at Constantinople; the Sultan is highly dissatisfied with his conduct during the .Russian war. Complaints are not wanting against both father and son. The former is re proached for not having sent a single man or a farthing of money to Constantinople, in defence of the country ; and the latter is blamed for having given up the Morea with.. out firing a single gun against the infidels, and for having taken his Army to Egypt, when he ought to have sent his 20,000 men to Adrianople. The storm lowers, and the Pacha remains upon the watch. He will unquestionably be attacked if he does not change his conduct. The Turks are dreadfully exasperated against him." The Moniteur has the following :—" On rec.iving the first notice of the loss of Le Sylene and L'.Aventure, the Minister of the Marine immediately instructed, by tele graph, the maritime prefect of Toulon to transmit him, through the same medium, any information he could obtain relative to the fate of those vessels. The following is his answer : " Toutox, JUNK 2, 1830, HALF-PAST TWO O'CLOCK, —.Since I announced to you the wreck of Le Sylene and L'Aventure, I have received no details respecting the fate of the crews. A general rumour prevails that the Dev el Algiers had given orders that any prisoners that mix - ht. he made should be respected. As soon as I receive any, fresh' intelligence relative to the crews, I will hasten to comMouicate it to you. This being the only despatch received by the Minister of the Marine, the details given by several journals on this unfortunate occurrence should not be considered as authentic." According to calculations made at the office of the Mi nister of the Marine, the fleet would arrive this thy before Algiers. M. Pichon, Councillor of State, who had been sent on a mission to Hayti, arrived at Brest on the Slat ult. It appears that he completely succeeded in his mission. The Quotidienne relates th• following anecdote : " Admiral Martinencq, Maritime Prefect ad interim, having learned that the British Consul at Toulon was making efforts to ascertain the number of men of which the expedition consisted," said, " If the Consul had applied to me, I would have saved him the trouble, by giving him all the information he could wish for." 4 1. *lllll* T 1 MISSION OF TAHIR PACHA. There are persons who explain the mission of Tahir Pacha in the following manner :—The Duke of Welling ton, finding it impossible to oppose our expedition aga inst Algiers by open force, had engaged the Porte to sen d one of its dignitaries, with the title of Governer of Algiers, for the Sultan. Whence once in the town, Tahir Pacha was to publish the firman of the Grand Seignor, and make himself acknowledged by the Turkish militia. The Dey was to act as First Lieutenant of the Pacha ; and the English Minister had obtained his consent and submission in consequence of the danger of the French invasion, which threatens him with inevitable destruction. On arriving before Algiers, the French fleet would have found the Ottoman flag hoisted on the ramparts, and the regular authority of the Sultan acknowledged, together with the abol:tion of piracy and of slavery. France would have no longer had a pretext for attacking Algiers, and our immense preparations must have come to nought ; for it would have proved rather embarrassing:to attack a Gover nor of the Sultan, with whom we are at pea - T. But General Guilleminot having been informed at Contanti nople of this intrigue, sent an aviso to the station before Algiers ; and from that moment the attention of the whole squadron was directed towards intercepting the Turkish frigate, whose speedy arrival was announced.— Journal du Commerce. _ _ _ FRANKFORT, MAY 26.—The Emperor of Russia Las given up one-third of the contribution which was to be paid by the Turks ; he has likewise given up an extension of territory in Asia, offered by the Porte as an indemnity for the reduction of the 3,000,000 of ducats allowed by Russia. It is said that the Emperor Nicholas is, of all the Sovereigns of Europe, the one who insists the most, in order to preserve an exact balance in Europe, on the Porte remaining a strong and independent power. But one would think that the maintenance of peace in Europe did not require so much condescension to the intrigues of the British Government; and that the continent, would on the contrary, have been happy to find, in the policy of Russia, a guarantee against the arrogance of the Cabinet of St. James's. Disinterestedness itself has limits which it ought not to pass ; and it is to be feared that British selfishness has duped the Emperor. It has been ob served, that the English were the first who announced the news of this generous determination of the Emperor. It must also he remembered, that from that moment Prince Metternich has not ceased to praise the policy of the Emperor. Encomiums from such a friend is of a suspicious nature. Some people go so far as to assert that die Duke of Wellington and Prince Metternich have suc ceeded in renewing their former connexions at St. Peters. burgh, and that by these means they hope to influence the Emperor's mind. Negotiations between Russia, Austria, and Prussia are also talked of, in order to discuss the future line of conduct to be pursued in case of another revolution in France; but it may be hoped that the Prussian Go vernment will demonstrate to Russia that to interfere with the affairs of the Constitutionals and the congregation would prove truly fatal to the peace of Europe, with no other end than to satisfy an insatiate and ungovernable faction. The news of the change of the French Ministry, and the nomination of M. de Peyronnet, has made a great im pression on our political circles. This expedient is looked upon u a great fault, which can only be attributed to de apair.—NutionaL TouLoy, MAY 29,-Yesterday, towards three in the afternoon, an estafette started from Paris. He is said to be the hearer of the despatches of the Grand Seignor to the King of France, which are pretended to contain proposals of peace with the Dey of Algiers, on condition that the latter should offer satisfaction to our flag, and pay the expenses of our armament. They have been forwarded by Tahir Pacha, commander of the Turkish frigate, Neldsin-Djaffet. He was desirous of delivering them into the hands of M. 3fassieu de Clairval, commander of the blockading squadron, but he refused to receive them, and very properly despatched the Ottoman Ambassador to Toulon, under the escort of the frigate la Duclesse de Berry. Tahir Pacha, having met our squadron on the 15th, offered again to deliver his despatches to Admiral Duperre, who refused likewise to take them, and obliged him to proceed to Toulon, after having paid to his rank and his flag the honours usual on such occasions. No accident has yet happened to our fleet, except the destruction of a transport vessel, which took fire ; its cargo consisted of hay. As it was impossible to save it, it was found necessary to sink it. The loss amounts to 16,000 francs ; fortunately this unlucky event cost no lives."-Constitutionnel.

The Hamburg Reporter of Friday last, con tains the Speech of the Emperor NICHOLAS on opening the Polish Diet at Warsaw :.•-••••• WARSAW, MAY 29.—The Diet was yesterday opened by the Emperor in person, on which occasion his M jesty delivered the following speech, in the French language : " REPRESENTATIVES OF THE KINGDOM OF POLAND " Five years have elapsed since you were last assembled. Circumstances independent of my controul prevented me from calling you sooner together ; those circumstances, lappily, exist no longer, and it is with real satisfaction that I this day behold myself, for the first time sur rounded by the representatives of the nation. During this interval, it has pleased the Divine Providence to call unto himself th- restorer of your country : you have all felt, with deep sorrow, how severe is this loss ; and the Senate, the interpreter of your desires, has com municated to me your wish, honourably to perpetuate the memory of your full sense of the most exalted virtues. Every Pole is invited to contribute to the erection of the monument, the proposal of which will be laid before you. " The Almighty has blessed our arms iu two wars in which the Empire has lately been engaged. Poland has not been called upon to bear any part of the burden of those wars, although she will participate in the advan tages to be derives! from them, in consequence of that close alliance in glory and interest, by whieh she is now indis solubly united with Russia. The Polish army has not been actively engaged in the war; my confidence did not, however, assign to that army a less important post—the vanguard of that army entrusted with the protection of the security of the Empire. "My Minister for the Interior will communicate to you an account of the present situation of the country ; and the statement which my Counselor of State has submitted to me, respecting the operations of the administration, will also be laid before you. I flatter myself you will approve of many of the important results obtained therein. Those obtained by the law for regulating provincial credits, have surpassed my expectations, and lay a secure foundation for the gradual improvement of public as well as private property. ‘‘ The growing development of industry, the extension of foreign trade, the increased production of articles cal culated far an exchange with Russia, are so many advan tages which you already enjoy, and which insure the fur ther growth of your prosperity. " Several liquidations remain to be made. That with Saxony is concluded. The accounts with Russia are far advanced. With France a liquidation will shortly be opened. As goon as the amount of the national debt shall have been definitively determined, it will be pos sible, by means of a new finance law, to fix the revenue and expenditure of the state. " A committee partly selected from among yourselves, has prepared the second book of the civil code, but the work has not yet attained its due maturity. I have, never theless, given orders that a part thereof, the necessity of which experience has demonstrated, should be laid before you. " The resolutions on the subject of the nullity of mar riage and divorce, contained in the first book of the civil code, and approved of by the last diet, have encountered difficulti, a in their application, and imperatively call for a revision ; I request your whole attention to a subject in which social union and conscientious scruples are so closely interested. " You will obtain the conviction that many of your solicitations have been complied with ; that others have, necessarily, been adjourned ; but that all have been ma turely considered ; and that, therefore, the right of petition, confined within reasonable limits, at the same time that it enlightens thegovernrnent, contributes to the public welfare. " Representatives of the kingdom of Poland ! By the faithful execution of the 45th Article of the Consti. tution, in its fullest extent,• I have given you a pledge of my disposition towards you : it now depends upon yourselves, by availing yourselves, with wisdom and moderation, of the rights and privileges conceded to you by the restorer of your country, to consolidate his work. May tranquillity and union prevail in your Coun cils. Such improvements as you may suggest in the pro jects of law about to be laid before you, shall be graciously considered, and I abandon myself joyfully to the hope, that Heaven will confer a blessing upon labours begun under such happy auspices." The speech was thereupon read in the Polish language by the Minister Secretary of State, and an address in re ply, echoing back the sentiments expressed by his Ma jesty's speech, was delivered by the Marshal of the Diet .. (By the George 1 V. steam-boat.) ST. PETERSBURGH, MAY 24.—M. de Ribeaupiere, Ambassador Extraordinary to the Porte, has received the rank of Actual Privy Councillor, for his services in bring ing the negotiations with the Porte, for the independence of Greece, to a happy conclusion. The Turkish Ambassador Nedschid Effendi and suite left this city on the 22d for Odessa. Count Diesselrode set out on the 18th for Warsaw. We learn from Abo that the Dutch steam-boat, Dc Bears Van Amsterdam, had been obliged to put in there, the ice hindering it from proceeding. Captain Dietz in tended to proceed to St. Petersburgh, as soon as circum stances would permit. HAMBURG, JUNE I.—BORSEN-HALLS, HALF-PAST FOUR o'cLocx.—Considerable fluctuations in the funds have taken place since Fliday• On Saturday prices seem to have reached their lowest point, in consequence of large sales made by speculators for the fall. On that day Anglo- Danish were done at 70, Anglo-Russian at 105, Polish Bonds at 121, Austrian Bank Shares at 1,288, and Fal -1 covets 85 i. On Monday morning some sales were made at those prices; but towards noon an improvement began to manifest itself, which has continued yesterday and to-day. In Berlin stocks have also risen considerably within the last few days. In the early part of the day stocks were higher than to wards the close. At the prices quoted below there were sellers.

HAMBURG, JUNE 4. —BORSEN HALLE, HALF -PAST FOUR O ' CLOCK.-For Wheat there continues to be buyers for exportation, but they take only the best samples, for which a trifling advance has taken place. The supplies from the interior were small, and have been almost entirely bought up. Froin Mecklenburg, Holstein, and the Lower Elbe the arrivals were unimportant, but still more than sufficient to meet the demand. Rye continues unaltered in price ; the arrivals are not large, and of tolerably ready sale. The same remarks apply to Oats. Barley, on the other band, is heavy.

The following are extracts from German and Dutch Papers received this morning : GREECE. VIENNA, MAY 25.—The reports of the opposition of the inhabitants of Greece to the choice of Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg are unfounded. On the contrary, the most recent accounts from Greece state that the people are anxious for the arrival of the Prince, selected for them by the Allied Sovereigns. Mr. Dawkins, the resident, received on the 30th of March the official communication of the decisive Protocol from his Court. The following day M. Alopirus, who arrived at Patras on the 28th, brought to Count Panin the Russian resident, and on the 2d of April M. Alleye de Cyprey, a French courier, brought to the French resi dent M. de Rouen, this important document, which is ile finitively to fix the fate of Greece. On the Bth of April the residents of the three Powers made the official com munication to Count Capo d'lstrias. On Easter Sunday, after divine service, the President, by virtue of the full powers given him by the Con gress of Argos, and with the approbation of the Senate, delivered to the Representatives of the three allied Powers a written declaration of the gratitude of the nation for the decision of its fate, as con tained in the protocols of London, and its formal ac knowledgement and compliance of the same. It is said thatthe President communicated to the Senate, so early as the 3d of April, a letter from the future Sovereign of Greece, in which the Prince invites him to continue the ad ministration of the Government, as he has hitherto done, and at the same time expresses a wish that he will in future assist him in supporting the weight of the Govern ment, of which the great Powers have thought him so worthy. HAARLEM, JUNE I.—Accounts from Batavia of the 9th February state that his Excellency the the Viscount du Bas de Ghissignes, the Commissioner-General, resigned his office on the 16th January, to his Excellency Lieutenant- General Vander Bosh, who is appointed Governor- General of our East India posse.sions, and Commander in-Chief of his Majesty's forces by sea and land in the countries to the East of the Cape of Good Hope. On the 19th January an ordinance was published, by which the supreme government of the Indies is dissolved, with thanks for the services rendered to the country at the same time. Messrs. J. C. Goldman, J. Bonsquet Pel lerkus, and R. G. Van Polanere were appointed Coun cillors of India. M. P. P. Chosse has been thanked by the Minister of Marine, by his Majesty's special command, for his services to the country during a long series of years, and is to retain the rank and title of Councillor of India. On the same day a new ordinance for the conduct of the Government of India was published, by which all preceding ordinances of the same kind are revoked. By a resolution of the Governor-General in Council, a Commission has been appointed to revise the organization of the tribunals in India, and the mode of proceeding in the several courts of India. A new paper, in the English language, is published once a month at Canton. (Here follows, from the nuin bers of the middle of November and end of December, an account of the dispute between the English factory and the Chinese. The article then proceeds) : —The foreign Consuls, particularly M. Van Canegbam, the Consul of the Netherlands, joined in this desire (viz., to have the number of the Hong merchants increased to thirty or fifty) ; and the Consul called the attention of the Gover nor of Canton, whose name is Le, to the endeavours of his King to revive, by a formation of a company, the trade of Holland with China, which was formerly so flou rishing in the number of ships fitted out for that trade in consequence, and of the decrease which has tiken place, chiefly on account yf the differences which have broken out. The answer of Governor Le to these observations is drawn up in tolerably polite terms. He has not directly assented, but gave his opinion that the investigation of the Treasurer and Judge of the province should be quietly waited for. With respect to a similar application from a Spanish merchant, the Governor has not thought it neces sary to be so civil; he has taken him severely to task for his folly and impertinence in requiring a change of the ancient ordinances. Endeavour, says the answer, to have due respect for the celestial empire. Behold its abundant harvests, its mountains of riches, its well filled treasury, and convince yourself how little interest the empire can have in the miserable trade with your barbarous nation. The conclusion is as follows :—" If you repeat such ap plications, I shall report the matter to the Court, and cause you and all Chinese traitors to be seized and pu nished as you deserve. Beware of bringing yourself into trouble, and tremble at this letter." The writer thinks, however, that notwithstanding this high language, the Government of Canton is too sensible of its own weakness not to give way in the end. That latterly Mandarins of a l ower rank have been uncommonly polite to foreigners ; and lastly that there is a report of an invitation to wealthy individuals to offer themselves for the dignity of Hong merchant s . AMSTERDAM, JUNE 4.—Sir George Staunton and suite has arrived here from England. Abo, M. Raymond Garcia. It is satisfactory to perceive that the Session of the States-General of the Netherlands has terminated in much greater tranquillity than it began in. The Government has yielded to the popular wish in giving up several items of the the obn ox i ous law of the Budget—i n mo difying Press—and in abandoning the equally offensive measure of public instruction. A law has in deed passed, inflicting punishment on the Press for offences of a very indefinite kind, having a tendency to disturb the public peace—but, con sidering the still more indefinite and oppressive project originally submitted by the KING to the Chambers, the people may think themselves fortunate in escaping from the Royal vengeance on somewhat easier terms. The Royal message, which has closed the Session, breathes a spirit of conciliation which, we only hope, is sincere on the part of those from whom it proceeds. The Netherlands Government must by this time have found out that the liberties of the Bel gians are not to be encroached on with impunity. It must have learned by experience the folly of persisting in a vexatious policy, which united to gether, from a sense of oppression, parties as opposite to each other in their principles as light and darkness. The spectacle of the Libe rals and Reformers making common cause with the Catholics and the equestrian order or Ari stocracy, against the Crown, proves that the discernment of the latter, in giving cause to so strange a coalition against itself, must have been extremely weak. For the nobility of a nation, particularly a proud and retiring nobility like that of Belgium, to join in the cry of those who are striving to bring into action new principles of Government, is an anomaly which has very rarely occurred in history. Equally singular is the co-operation of the Ca tholic hierarchy and clergy with those, the ten dency of whose opinions goes to shake the Church to its very foundation,—with whom human reason is the only standard of truth- and to whom truth, unless of a philosophical kind, is but an empty name. But oppression, like the wand of a magician, when it summons together spirits of a heterogeneous nature to each other, does not reflect that their first impulse is to unite together and tear the oppressor to pieces. The King of the NETHERLANDS has been prudent enough to interpose conciliatory measures in time to prevent this latter result. The following are extracts : SECOND CHAMBER of the STATES-GENERAL. HAGUE, JUNE 2.—The President announced that he had received a message from the First Chamber, stating that it had assented to all the projects of law sent to it from the Second Chamber. After this a Royal message was read to announce that the Minister of the Interior had his Majesty's orders to close the Session ; in consequence, the two Chambers being assembled together, the Minister delivered the following speech : " limit AND MIGHTY LORDS,-The King has ordered me to come to this Assembly and close the present Session. ' " Distinguished by immense labours and divers vicissi tudes, it has been crowned by the happiest agreement be tween the Throne and the Representatives of the Nation on the points most important to both. "By adopting the laws fixing the expenditure of the State, and the means of meeting them for the next ten years, you have placed the finance on a secure foundation. " In concurring in the reduction of the number of the Members of the Chamber of Accounts, you have effected a retrenchment which you yourselves had pointed out, and opened a way for further improvements. " In giving to the Syndicate facilities for the diminution of its actual expenses, you have prepared an alleviation of the burdens of the people. " By adopting the legislative enactments which com plete the bases •of the organization of the Courts of Justice, and a code of proceeding in the Criminal Courts, which protect the liberty of the citizens, you have hastened the moment when a national legislation will be applied by I Magistrates defin:tely appointed. While maintaining the liberty of the Press, you have united your efforts with those of the Government to re press abuse and calumny, the impure alloy of which dis figures and degrades this constitutional means of diffusing knowledge. " These results are advantageous now and cheering for the future. They will draw closer the ties between the Prince and the Belgic nation—they will be sanctioned by the opinion of the honourable and enlightened, which is above transitory passions, and becomes in a manner the judgment of posterity. Lastly, they have the august ap probation of the Monarch, who is the restorer of the public liberties, happy in the happiness of the Belgians, whose love is at once his glory and his recompense. " In the King's name I declare the Session of the States- General closed and terminated." The Assembly broke up.—(Brussels Papers, June 5.) NUREMBERG, MAY 28.—We understand that the Austrian Government is going to bring before the Diet the important and frequently agitated question of the means of securing the rights of German authors and pub lishers against literary piracy, by means of a convention between all the German States. There is therefore every reason to expect that this question will at length be de cided in a satisfactory manner. VIENNA, MAY 24.—His Highness Prince Philip of Hesse Homburg is gone to Warsaw. Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress will leave Vienna on the 27th, and sat out on their way to Leybach and Trieste. His High ness Prince Metternich will set out on the 29th fur Johannisberg, and the Minister of State (Count Kollo wrat) intends, during their Majesties' absence, to go to his estate in Bohemia. CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 10.—The two events which have chiefly engaged the notice of the public since the last post-day are the unexpected arrival of the Grand Vizier, lledschid Pacha, from Adrianople on the 3d instant, and the death of the Capitan Pacha, Papudschi Ahmed, who, after a long illness, died of water on the chest on the sth instant. His death is universally regretted, for by his ju dicious administration of the naval department, and by his munificence, love of justice, and amiable manners, he en joyed the confidence of the Sultan and the esteem of all classes of the inhabitants of this city. The Sultan has appointed for his successor Held Pacha, now at St. Peters burgh, until whose return the Marine Department is placed under the care of the Seraskier, Chosrew Pacha. Halil Pacha seems likely to act an important part in the affairs of the empire, as lie is high in the Sultan's favour. It is thought that the Grand Vizier will very shortly return to Adrianople. On the 7th instant a treaty of friendship and commerce was concluded between the Porte and the United States of North America, by which the ships of these States are to have the free navigation of the Black Sea, and to be placed, with respect to the duties and cus toms, &c., on the same footing as other friendly States. The Marquis de Grosallo, Sardinian Ambassador, who is going to Turin on leave of absence, set out to-day. He goes by Belgrade and Vienna to Italy.

The Prince Royal of Prussia arrived here yesterday afternoon. DRURY LANE TnEATRE.--Madam YES-. TILIS and Mr. ANDERSON appeared here on Saturday night, for the first time since their reconciliation, iv; Julia Manner iny and Baron Bertram, in the opera of Guy Mannering. Bath were received with applause; but Madame VESTRIS, owing to sudden indisposition, was unable to go through with her part, and the opera proceeded without her. This occasioned considerable disapprobation, which continued more or less throughout the night. SUICIDE.— O n Monday morning last, a gen teel and pretty-looking girl, apparently about 17 or IS years old, threw herself into the river Eden, and was drowned. Her name and connexions were unknown to the neighbourhood ; but she is supposed to have been the victim of seduction. An inquest was held on Monday af ternoon, when the Jury, in the absence of more expla natory evidence, returned a verdict that the "Deceased drowned herself in a fit of temporary derangement."...— Carlisle Journal. THE FU:NDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TIVEL VI 0' CL 0 CK. LIVERPOOL, JUNE s.—The import of Cotton this week is 19,035 bags, and the sales are 12,010 bags, at rather lower prices, particularly for Brazil. In Sugar only 420 hhds. of British Plantation have been disposed off this week at firmer prices, with 110 bags of white Bengal, at 708. In Foreign nothing has been done. Of Coffee the sales are 280 casks. The Glasgow Papers state that since the last mentioned —the full employment of the cotton weavers—a sensible improvement has been experienced in their wages, not so much by the direct rise (about ten per cent.) in the rate, as the cloth being finer and paid relatively higher. Accounts from Lisbon, to the 30th of May, state that large bodies of Guerillas have appeared in various parts of the provinces, under the name of "Legitimate Defenders;" but it is not known whether they are for Don Miguel or Donna Maria. They write from Madrid, dated May 24, thst at Cadiz the brig of war, Royalist, was ready to sail with the Spanish Officers for Algiers. The same account adds, that two hundred engineers from the garrison of Gibraltar bad deserted and proceeded to Algiers ; but this report re quired confirmation and was not credited. The Aviso, of Toulon, states that two thousand select men, from various regiments, were daily expected there, intended to reinforce the expeditionary army. The Mi niBter of war has determined that the warehouses for the camp-service in that port shall be newly supplied with every article for a reserve of fifteen thousand men, and there is every reason to believe that these troops will be immediately cantoned at Toulon, in order to be ready to embark at a moment's notice. A letter from Venice, of the 12th of May, states that two Captains of ships had arrived there, one from Navarin, and the other from Poros, who stated that, previous to their departure, the French garrisons of these places had sent detachments into the interior, to disperse the armed multitudes which, in several quarters, opposed the pay ment of the taxes. It is also stated that hostilities had re commenced between the Turks and Greeks in the island of Syra, where no quarter was given. Accounts from Alexandria, to the 12th of April, state that 12 French vessels remained in that port, without being able to procure freights. The intentions of the Viceroy were represented to be impenetrable. THE FUNDS. We hive very few arrivals this morning, and they are not of much importance. The Funds have a dull appear ance, and tend rather towards a decline, owing to a fall in the French Rentes of about 1 per cent. The Constitutionnel states, that the expenditure of the city of Paris is excessive, and that that city is greatly in debt, frequently driven to loans, and to pay its way is obliged to levy all kinds of taxes on the inhabitants. Consols, which left on Saturday at 921- for the Ac count, opened at the same price this morning ; since which they have receded to 92k, sellers, and at present may be quoted at 92ii. The Foreign market is also very languid, with little or nothing doing as yet. Prices are nominal. PRICES OF AMERICAN STOCK. American 3 per Cents 81 434 per Cents 94 5 With dividend 5 per Cents.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, the JUDGES, and Lords IL' CHESTER and CHARLEMONT, sat in Error to-day. MIREIIOUSE V. MERRELL. 7 This case came before the House in error, from the judgment of the Court of King's Bench. The action in which that judgment was pronounced was in the form of a quare impedit, brought in Michaelmas Term 1824, the Court of Common Pleas, by Frances Henrietta Ren nell, as the administratrix of the Rev. Thomas Rennell, deceased, late prebendary of the canonry of South Gray them, in the cathedral church of Salisbury, against the late Bishop of Lincoln, and the present plaintiff in error, claiming a right to present a fit person for the rectory of Welby, in the county of Lincoln, the advowsen thereto being stated to be appurtenant to the prebend, and the rectory havirr , fallen vacant during the life of her late husband the former prebendary. The late Bishop of Liu cola, and the defendant Mirehouse, put in a plea to that action, denying the right of Mrs. Rennell to the presenta tion claimed by her; and averring, that after the death of the Rev. Mr. Rennell, and whilst the church of Weill was vacant, one of the defendants was instituted prebendal of South Grantham, to which was attached the right of presentation to the rectory of Welby. The defendant exercis ing that right, presented the other defendant Wm. Squire Mirehouse to the living. The plaintiffdemurred to this plea', and upon the d emur r er b e i ng argue d b e f ore t h e C our t of Common Pleas, the Court declared its opinion to be that Mrs. Rennell was not entitled to present to the vacant rec tory. The case was then removed into the Court of King's Bench, and after considerable argument, three of the Judges of that Court pronounced judgment in f a vour of Mrs. Rennell, Lord Tenterden dissenting. From this judgment of the Court of King's Bench, the present w it of error was brought, and the principal question for the decision of the House was, whether if the advowson of a Church be appurtenant to a prebend, and a right of pre sentation to that Church accrue to the prebendary, who dies intestate without presenting, the right of presenta tion will pass to his personal representative. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. Serjeant D'OTLY° were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. PATTERSON and Mr. FOLLETT for the defendant. Mr. £erjeant D'OYLY was addressing the House on the part of the plaintiff when our reporter left. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. MOCATTER V. ABRAHAMS. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 491. 19s. 9d., the amount of a bill of exchange accepted by the defendant. The plaintiff is treasurer of the Spa nish and Portuguese Jews Synagogue, and he discounted the bill for a person named Shannon, to enable bin , (Shannon) to purchase flour wherewith to make the un leavened bread for the feast of the Passover. The bill be came due on a Sunday, and was, in consequence, accord ing to the usual custom, presented for payment en the Saturday previous ; but that day being the " Hebrew Sabbath," it was, of course, dishonoured, and up to the present time remained unpaid. The hand-writing o f the defendant having been proved, Mr. GURNEY addressed the Jury for the defendant, a nd called a witness named Shannon, who stated that the de fendant accepted the bill purely for his (Shannon's) ac commodation, so that he might be enabled to provide the -Jews with bread for the Passover. Mr. Gurney ad mitted that this was no defence to the action, as it did not do away with the defendant's responsibility.—Verdict for the plaintiff. THE XING ON THE PROSECUTION OF WILLIAId ELLIOTT V. MALT ♦ND FIVE MUER,. This was an indictment against the defendants, six in number, charging them with conspiracy together, for the purpose of defrauding Elliott. It appeared that the defen dant Malt, in the year 1828, joined Elliott (who is a jewel ler and silversmith, carrying on business in Compton-street) in partnership. Elliot shortly afterwards becoming dis satisfied with the manner in which he conducted himself in the business, proposed a dissolution oV, partnership. This was objected to by Malt, unless on such terms that it was impossible for Elliott to comply with. A quarrel was the consequence, and Malt began to accept bills in the name of the firm, with the intention, as was alleged, of ruining the prose . cutor. In the negociation of these bills the other defendants (one of whom is a methodist preacher) assisted. An injunction to restrain the de fendants from passing the bills has been granted. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. Broderick and Mr. Cole) opened a strong case against the defendants; but as the trial was not concluded when our reporter left, we forbear going into details until the de fendants have been heard. Mrs ADOLPHUS is the defendants' Counsel. FOREIG.

In the course of the day Expresses from Frankfort have had the effect of raising Austrian and Polish securities. The private letters from Holland this morning also bring the Dutch Funds higher. Great damage was done in the neighbourhood of Amsterdam on the 25th u!t. by a dread ful thunder storm, with a heavy fall of hail ; three persons were killed by the lightning. The Funds still continue heavy, although the estafette from Paris brings the French Rentes higher than on Friday, 79f. 85c. Up to the present time the speculators on the Stock Exchange are quite idle, not the least business of any consequence doing. The Toulon expedition, and the unfortuna.e state of his Majesty, are the two features which at present excite the public attention. We had a stock jobbing report of there going to be a change in the Ministry, which, at pre sent, is without any foundation. Console, during the morning, have been at 92k, alter nately buyers and sellers for the account, and, at present, 921- f. In the Foreign Market there is also not a feature worth the least observation.

Consols, 92a i. The reservoir in the Green-park which proved to be so dangerous in its former exposed state during the Spring, has been surrounded by a handsome and appropriate cast-iron railing, at the expense of the Board of Works. A well known partnership of distillers in the neighbourhood of Holborn-hill, is renovating, or rather entirely rebuilding their establishment. They are con structing two vats, which are each to hold eleven thousand gallons. Thus two hundred puncheons of British spirits will be deposited in these enormous vessels. The two remaining shops in Farringdon street, which formed a part of the old Fleet•market, were levelled to the ground on Saturday, and thus the entire space from Holborn to Fleet-street is cleared of houses, leaving an uninterrupted view from Holborn-bridge to the Surrey side of the Thames. It is to be hoped that the march of improvement will be accelerated in this quarter, and that the street will not be allowed to remain long in its present neglected state. Defendants may pay money into Court in lieu of bail," according to a clause added to the Adminis tration of Justice Bill, by the Committee thereon ; and take the same out on perfecting special bail. BENTLEY enjoyed smoking tobacco with his constant companion —a practice which he did not begin before his 70th year. Ile is stated to have been an ad. mirer of good port wine, while he thought contemptuously of claret, which he said "would be port if it could."— Life of Bentley. What infatuation, what nonsense, (says a modern French writer), to talk of the lessons of expe rience ! Men profit nothing by experience, and will con tinue to the end of the chapter the mere playthings of the same passions, and the victims of the same errors. INGENUITY OF RATS.—In a cellar belonging to the Ale and Porter Brewery, at Falkirk, over which is a granary, an instance of ingenious contrivance by the rats was discovered the other day. It appears that these little topers, finding the flavour of the Falkirk ale excel lently suited to their taste, hold nocturnal debauches, when they regale themselves, after a feast upon the grain up stairs, by tippling from any bottles that may happen to be broken or spilt. A bottle which happened to have a small hole broken in one side, near the neck, just large enough to allow them to " dip their whiskers or their tail in," held out a tempting prize ; but the liquor not being full to the top, a curious mode was had recourse to. Filling their cheek pouches with wheat, and successively emptying it through the aperture, the ale naturally rose high enough to admit of the animals drinking ; and this plan had been persevered in until the bottle was quite filled with grain, and its generous contents completely quaffed off.—Scotsman. DUTCH SPORTS.—An amusement, very sin gular in its nature, is kept up at Namur annually. The young men of the two parts of the town, called the old and the new, assemble before the town-house, mounted on stilts, and having marshalled themselves in two oppos ing battalions under regular leaders, commence a contest of a most extraordinary kind ; each party endeavouring, by the exertions of the elbows and legs of the combatants, to drive back the other. The engagement sometimes continues for several hours, while the female relatives of the contending parties cheer on and encourage them in their exertions. It is said that PETER the Great, of Russia, took peculiar delight in being a spectator of this strange combat ; as also, that one of the Dukes of BUR GUNDY exempted the brewers from the payment of excise, in testimony of the pleasure it afforded him.—Dr, Lard ner's Cabinet Cyclopedia. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JUNE s.—We are sorry to find the necessity of watching our interests at Algiers, pend ing the present blockade and expected siege, has caused us the loss of a. frigate. The Rattlesnake, twenty-eight guns, Captain the Honourable C. 0. Bridgeman, has been wrecked in Algiers Bay, in the same gale of wind that drove two French men of-war ashore either on the 14th, 15th, or 16th tilt. From the friendly disposition shown to Englishmen by the Dey of Algiers, we hope such assistance was rendered to the crew as to avert the loss of lives. Nothing has been heard of the French expedition since its sailing, excepting that of the frigate La Duchesse de Berri, having seen the fleet two days after its sailing, twenty leagues S.W. of Toulon, then having a fair wind. On the landing of the army a newspaper will be established, with the title of " L'Estafette d' Alger" (the Algiers Express) : this will, supply the news of the army, and will be edited by M. Merle, Secretary to the Commander in-Chief. Letters from Captain Maissieu de Clerdal, the Commander of the French division blockading Al giers, state that on the 14th, ]sth, and 16th of May lust, there prevailed in the neighbouring coast of that city winds of extraordinary violence, which compelled him to put out to sea with the vessels then under him. The same letters express the greatest uneasiness respecting the brigs La Syrene and L'Aventure, which were said to have been stranded near Cape Brigut. There is also too much reason to believe that the two brigs-of-war, the Fantle and Palinure, have been wrecked in the Bay of Algiers, and that such portions of the crews as did not perish in the sea, were barbarously murdered by the Algerines. The Asia, 84, Capt. Burdett, came into harbour on Thursday, to be paid off and placed in ordinary. The Talbot, 28, Capt. Dickenson, at this port, is destined to relieve the Tweed, 28, at the Cape. DEVONPORT, JUNE s.—The Naval Department has turned its attention to the advantages derived from the employment of steam, but as yet no experiment of a warlike nature has been tried with steam vessels. Those already in the service, or which are now building on account of Government, are chiefly employed, or intended, as packets or towing' boats. Of these there are eight now in commission, viz. the Messenger, Lieutenant Aplin; Echo, Lieutenant - Bissett ; Meteor, Lieutenant Symons; Cation,: Lieutenant Lepige ; Confiance, Lieutenant Itiehard- 7 -:, son, all of this port—the Columbia and Lightning, at Woolwich—and the Cornet, at Deptford. Two ' others, viz., the Dee and Alban, are building it Woolwich. These two are all that are constructing at present in Government yards ; but there are several very fine steamers ordered to be equipped for the public service in private yards, and it is sup posed that in the course of the year Government will be in possession of twenty steam-vessels, rang ing from 200 to 800 tons burthens, arid in case of war capable of being converted into flying cruisers at a very short notice. The Messenger, which is attached to the Mediterranean packet station, was formerly the George the Fourth ; sh e i s t h e l argest steamer yet constructed in Europe, with the excep tion of the United Kingdom, of 1,000 tons burden, which is nearly 250 tons above the- Messenger's mea surement. The latter has been fitted on a most ex tensive scale, and will make up beds, we understand, for 60 passengers. The Echo, last week, brought a mail from India, dated as late as the 20th of March, which came through the Red Sea, overland to Alexandria, and was brought from thence to Malta by his Majesty's ship Favourite, where the Echo took charge of the bags, and arrived at Fal mouth in 14 days. , The practicability of a regular intercourse with India, in half the time it formerly took, is thus proved to demonstration, and this in creased facility of eommunication must be of incal culable advantage to the commerce and general in terest of the two cotintries,-.Devonport Telegraph.
