As yet, we have heard of only two seamen being lost." GERMAN PAPERS. FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, SEPT. 20.—The preceding accounts from Constantinople, which were very alarming, have been greatly modified by the last letters from that capital, which are dated the 10th of this month. Tran• quillity was restored, and business had become active. The damage caused by the fire is said not to he so consi derable as at first represented, and the Government has adopted measures to afford all practicable relief to the suf ferers. The Sultan, who was represented, in the former accounts, to have been wholly passive dut ing the fire, is now stated to have been very active on the occasion, and to have contributed greatly, by his presence, to the sub duing of the conflagration. It is still doubtful whether the fire was accidental, or the effect of design. It is affirmed that individuals, strangers to the capital, were observed, and a short time before the fire, appeared to be very active in different quarters of the city. Some suspicious characters were said to have been arrested, chiefly Italians, who could not give a satisfactory account of their business in the capital. It is also asserted that one of them was found to be in possession of papers which disclosed a very extensive plan, the chief purpose of which was to keep the East in a state of fermentation ;—that it is not yet known with whom the project originates, but that it is conjectured that the same party is concerned which takes so much pains to excite anarchy in the West. At all events these dangerous plots have for the present failed, and it is to be hoped that the police, which is pretty well organised, will be able to prevent farther disasters in the Turkish capital. The Sultan is now gone on an excursion of pleasure in the environs of the capital ; if circumstances permit, he will perhaps extend it farther than he at first intended. This appears to he a favourable indication of the tranquil lity that prevails at Constantinople, as otherwise the Sul tan would certainly not have left the city. The French poet La Martine, on his return from Asia. came out of quarantine a few days ago, and is gone to Vienna. VIENNA, SEPT. 28.—M. de Monthel has returned from his mission. He found the Duchess of Berry at Bologna, and had an interview with her. It seems that ler Royal Highness will go to Prague, and pass some time in the bosom of her family. The French poet, La Iklartine, has arrived here. We have received favourable accounts from Greece. The Regency is indefatigable in its exertions to organise the interior of the country, and to restore it to a state of prosperity. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 10.—The spirit of discontent which has prevailed here for some time past among the people and the soldiers, and which is considered as the cause of the repeated attempts of incendiaries, continues to keep up great uneasiness in this capital. On the 29th ult, an attempt to set on fire the manufactory of arms at Dochabali was discovered, and prevented at the moment from taking effect. On the following day, however, a second attempt succe?ded ; for in a short time the manufactory of arm., and the neighbouring houses , were on fire ; and, the flames being carried by the wind in all directions, a great part of Constantinople was reduced to ashes in the space of nineteen hours. The number of buildings and shops de stroyed in the various quarters, amount to 6,000. Among these are several mosques, namely, that of Schell sade, Caschi, and some smaller ones. Many persons who took refuge on the minarets of these smaller ones, were burnt to death. Upwards of 100 corpses of the victims, have been picked up. An incendiary, who was discovered in the act of setting fire to a house, was immediately thrown into the flames. Several suspected Greeks have been arrested, and taken to the palace of the Seras kier. By this fire several hundred thousand sacks of fl ur were destroyed in the public granaries ! About the same time another fire broke out in the vicinity of Rebels, near the channel, but this was got under before it had done much damage. On the 7th inst. the Seraskier Parker gave a grand fete to the Sultan at San Stefano, which lasted two days. All the Grandees of the Empire were present. A council was also held there to deliberate on the means of securing the capital, at which it was re solved that the utmost vigilance, as well by day as by night, should be observed. No one is to appear in the streets at night without a lantern. The strictest orders have been given to the police to search out the incendiaries and malcontents, and many of them have been discovered and put to death. The Sultan, after the fall cf San Stefano, set out on a short journey to Nicomedia and Hemlek, where he will visit the arsenal, thence he intends to go to Brussa. The Reis Effendi is seriously indisposed, in consequence of an alarm on the 3d inst., while at sea during a storm, and his illness has occasioned consider able interruption in the despatch of public business. Mandeville, the English Charge d'Affaires, left on the Jat inst. On the same day, M. de Carbob I, the newly appointed Spanish Ambassador to the Porte, arrived from Odessa. A courier from St. Petersburgh brought word on the 31st Aug., that M. Calacazi has been appointed Russian Charge d'Affaires in Greece. General Butenieff, the Russian Ambassador, has sent a lugger to Greece, with the news. We learn from Napoli that M. Zograsso is appointed Ambassador from his Majesty the King of Greece to the Sublime Porte. According to letters from Canea, the Pacha of Egypt arrived on the 12th August in the Gulph of Inda, Island of Camila, where the fleet which accompanied him, con sisting of four ships of the line, ten frigates and vessels, cast anchor. The Pacha, who was accompanied by the English Consul General, Colonel Campbell, immediately went to Canea, where he inspected tl e fortifica tions. On the night of his arrival the town was illu minated, and on the following day be gave audiences to the European Consuls. The ordinances which he issued during his stay relate chiefly to the culture of the land Mehemet Ali left Canea on the 22d, and returned to his fleet, in order to proceed to the western parts of the island. To add to our distress, the plague has for the last fortnight increased at Constantinople, as well as at Pera Galata and the villages along the channel. VIENNA, SEPT. 28.—Five per Cent.

We hope to the honour of Germany. We hope that haughty England and France will at length acknowledge that the territory of Germany is as sound and inviolable as their own. What cries of surprise and in dignation should we hear from these kingdoms, if it were pretended to impose on them anything resembling what Germany would suffer by the cession or the dismemberment of Luxemburg--that Gelman province, which is indisputably such—with touch more right than Alsace is a French province. Such a pretension would be considered as equivalent to a declaration of war. The ct of the German Confederation is to protect Ger many, within and without, and above all things to gua rantee its frontiers. We cannot dispute that the Confe deration would lose in public opinion equally at home and abroad (which, in the present critical state of affairs, would be an almost irreparable misfortune), if, on the first occasion that it is put to the proof, it should not an• swer the object of its institution. For this reason !J,e differ from those who despond, and fear that the ponfederation will yield to the demands of France #Pri Engi,nd (which would not stop there), and that it at ill a4crifice a part of Germany. If, when they insolently violated the Germa n territory, at the beginning of the re volution, the German troops bad once driven them out, the matter would have stopped there—no war would have ii)sued. The organs of the French Government, such as the Moniteur and Journal des Lebots, then acknowledged that the Be!gians had no right to Luxemburg, and that neither Belgium nor France would have a right to corn• plain of the German Confederation asserting its just rights.

Having more than three weeks ago been enabled to inform our readers of the exact posi tion of the Belgian Question, we have abstained from making any remark on the official expose to the Belgian Chamber of Deputies recently made by General GOBLET. There was not one fact of the slightest interest in that statement which had not already been stated by us. Whilst our contemporaries were indulging in day dreams of the moderation and generosity of the King of HOLLAND, we steadily adhered to the assertion that the Belgian Question was just as far from a settlement in the month of September, 1833, as it had been in 1831. The official expose has confirmed all that we said. We understand now, that Lord PALMERSTON expects that the Dutch Chamber, which is to meet on the 21st instant, will insist on the settlement of the question, as the obstinacy of the KING has produced no other effect as yet than that of allowing the Belgians to navigate the Scheldt free of toll, and to keep in their own treasury the sums which would otherwise have been paid to Holland, as the Belgian portion of the interest on the national debt. Lord PALMERSTON may not be quite so much deceived in his expectations on this point as he has been on others. Lord CHESTERFIELD has said that the honour and delicacy of a Dutchman are in his breeches pocket— touch that, and you rouse the dignity of the Hollander. It is not improbable that as the statu quo system affects the sensitiveness of the Hollanders in a pecuniary way, they may really take courage to ask the KING, whether he is playing at bowls with Belgium in order that his subjects may have all the rubs. It may be a very important consideration with King WIL LIAM to make a great struggle for the sovereignty of Belgium ; but unless he can find the means of compensating his subjects for the injuries which they sustain by the statu quo system, they may be induc e d t o t a k e t h e manage ment of the affair into their own hands, and compel the KING to renounce claims which they know he cannot sustain. We are assured, by a gentleman who is but just arrived from Siberia, that on his way to 'Moscow from that country, he met several de tachments of Polish prisoners on their way to It is stated to day, in a respectable quarter, that Lord ALTHORP has resolved on the intro duction of a Bill, shortly after the meeting of Parliament, for the material reduction of the assessed taxes, and the modification of the entire system. His Lordship had, if we recollect aright, almost promised something of this kind before the close of the last session ; but it is probable that the refusal to pay the assessed taxes in many places, however partial the determination may be as regards the kingdom at large, has created doubts in the mind of his Lordship as to the possibility of carrying on the system of taxation in its present state. As Lord ALTHORP, how ever, is not, according to report in the best cir cles, yet a convert to the doctrines of those poli tical economists who would substitute a fair and moderate property tax for the whole of the assessed taxes, we cannot conceive what scheme he intends to propose. Anything so reasonable and agreeable as the reduction of a large standing army, or other expensive machinery of Govern ment, we do not expect ; and yet without a re duction of expenditure much more sweeping than any that has yet taken place, we do not see how the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is to accomplish the object which he is said to have in view. We refer the clergy of the Established Church as a warning, and the rate-payers of the kingdom as an example, to the refusal of the people of Nottingham to levy any further church-rate. The numbers on one side and the other were even more decisive of the question than they have been in some of the larger towns, and must convince all men, not blinded by the most be sotted prejudices, that at least this usurpation of the clergy is drawing to a close. The French Papers of Monday, and the Gazette de France and Messager desChambres, dated yesterday, mention that serious apprehen sions had begun to operate on the public mind at Paris, respecting the rumoured Carlist insur rection, which were partly, however, occasioned by a Royal ordinance, dated the 6th, calling into service 35,000 conscripts. It was rumoured also that a military cordon, to consist of from 35,000 to 50,000, was about being formed on the Spanish frontier, and that Pozzo DI BonGo had declared that the Russian Court would not recog nizethe young ISABELLA as Queen of Spain. - - FRENCH FUNDS.—PARts, OCT. 7.

WEEKLY PAPER FOR THE ARMY AND NAVY. T HE NAVAL AND MILITARY GAZETTE. Mr. COLBURN respectfully invites attention to the above NEW WEEKLY NEWSPAPER for the ARMY and NAVY, now in regular course of publication, every Saturday, free of postage. Conducted by Officers of the highest talent and station in both services, who have access to the most authentic sources of intelligence, it forms a weekly medium of com munication and intelligence concerning all matters of inte rest to the two martial services, and particularly claims the attention of all persons who have connexion with, or inte rest in India, and tl-,e-Colonies. '•• Orders for the 6 ' Naval and Military Gazette" are received by all Newsmen and Booksellers in Town and Country. Published for Henry Colburn, by W. Thomas, at the office, 19, Crtherine-street, Strand, where communica tions for the Editor (postage flee) are requested to be addressed. k ll-4 ' 4 41211 9e%= "` •! 1 ' • , , their place of exile. These unfortunate men were manacled, in bands of from twenty to one hundred, to an iron bar, which was only removed at night to admit of their lying down. The food allowed them on their journey, exceeding in some cases 4,000 English miles, was bread of the coarsest quality, and in quantities barely suffi cient for the support of nature. Our in formant recognized in one of these bands two Polish noblemen whom he had known well in their native land, but to whom he was not per mitted, by the brutal conductors, to offer any pecuniary aid. One of these noblemen had been the possessor of an estate of more than 200,000 acres, with a peasantry amounting in number to 25,000, and the other had been almost as rich ; yet these men, whose only crime was patriotism, were being dragged into perpetual exile, without other means of subsistence than those which the humanity of the magnanimous Autocrat afforded —a little black bread ! All the persons belonging to this band were condemned to labour in the mines. If Providence did not, for inscrutable purposes, allow human tyranny to prevail sometimes over human integrity, and the vengeance of Heaven were in all cases in flicted on earth, instead of beholding an aristo cracy reduced to poverty and imprisonment for the offence of patriotism, we should behold the corrupt and depraved of the aristocracy of more countries ►han one taking their weary and con strained pilgrimage to the mines. If despots and their satellites were to be punished on earth as patriots are, more roads than one would dis play files of malefactors exiled from the lands which they had plundered, and the society which they had abused. The gentleman from whom we have received this statement informs us, that throughout Russia, with the exception of St. Petersburgh, the Emperor NICHOLAS has made himself un popular by his persecution of the Poles, and that the distress in the provinces is so great, and the dissatisfaction against the Government, consequently, so strong, that if the spy system were not so well organized as to prevent the pos sibility of successful combination on the part of the people, the reign of the present EMPEROR would be exceedingly short. The contrivances of the Russian Government for obtaining in formation of the words and almost the thoughts of men, are the perfection of despotism. There is little chance, therefore, that reform in Russia will happen in our time. GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.) MATRIMONIAL FELICITY.—Ann Osborne was charged by Richard Smith, a watchman, with being drunk and kicking up a disturbance at her own door, in Redcross square, at three o'clock this morning. The watchman stated, that at the hour in question he heard cries of murder proceeding from the door of the prisoner's house, on arriving at which he found the prisoner, together with her husband, as usual, very drunk. The huo , and, who was in the office, here came forward and said, "Please your Worship, this man will say anything or swear to any thing if we won't give him liquor; but give him a drop of gin, and be will be as quiet as a mouse. I have kept the house I now live in for 16 years, and there was never anything heard of me and my wife getting drunk till he came amongst us. Upon my word, neither my wife nor myself were drunk ; and I will put it to you, Mr. Alderman, if we could be so, when we had only had a pot of ale and a pot of half-and-half.—(Laughter.) As to my wife's being drunk—Lord bless you, she was only out of temper—(Great laughter)—and as to myself, my character will bear inspection at any time. The watchman swore positively that they were both drunk, and made use of expressions to him which he would be ashamed to repeat. The ALDERMAN, to the husband—Go by the side of your wite in the dock, Sir ; one, I see, is as bad as the other. I shall fine you both ss. for being drunk. The Husband—Very well, Mr. Alderman, I have no money to pay. The ALDERMAN—WeII, then, you must both be locked up. The prisoners were then removed from the bar, the wife, who was evidently not yet sober, crying bitterly, and praying of the Alderman to let them go. The wife in a few minutes afterwards was again brought up, and on her promising not to offend in future, was ordered to be discharged, the Worthy Alderman stating that her hus band would be kept in custody till the 10s. was paid. The Wife—Do let my husband go this time, your Worship, he will never be able to pay the money, as we were obliged to pledge several things to pay our last rent. The Alderman was inexorable, and the wife quitted the office crying, " Oh ! my dear husband ;" " What will become of him ?" The manner in which these ejaculations were poured forth excited in no small degree the risible faculties of all present. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, OCT.

This vessel was loaded for us at Cork, and sailed from thence the 18th March, and from that time had not been heard of till she made her appearance in this harbour this evening. The Captain states that be was caught in the ice, and dragged by it to the coast of Greenland, where she has been detained three months and a half." THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Montreal papers to September 10, and Quebec papers to September 8, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Montreal Papers.) Thirty-eight square-rigged vessels came into port on the 2d, and during the night, besides ten schooners. The number of passengers arrived in Quebec, in 63 vessels, on the 2d, 3d, and 4th September, do not amount to more than 177. (From the Quebec Papers.) The arrivals from sea now amount to 800 sail of vessels. At the same period last year 743 only had arrived, but the amount of tonnage was greater, being 198,482 tons; whereas that of the present year is no more than 194,913. On the 7ch of September last year 40,151 emigrants had arrived. The number this year is 20,813. The above papers bring some particulars of the loss of the Lady of the Lake amongst the ice. We have received Jamaica papers via New York to the 22d August, which contain the following ;—" There was considerable rejoicing at Jamaica yesterday, in consequence of the reported recall by his Majesty's Government of the Earl of Mulgrave." The Jamaica Dispatch of the same date publishes the same report; but neither of the papers of the two subsequent days confirm this report. Bermuda papers to the 2Sth August have been received, but they do not contain anything of general interest. The Colonial Parliament has been prorogued to the 28th ult. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) The CHAIRMAN stated that he had received the follow ing letter from John Minter Hart, who was charged with stealing Bills of Exchange to the amount of 5,0001. : Sir,—l bave to request that you will have me brought up early this morning, to swear an affidavit, in order to ground a motion before the Court. Oct. 9, 1833. The CHAIRMAN, in deprecating the practice of writing lettere to him, said thAt It had reached his ears that he was an intimate friefld of Mr. Astley (the prosecutor), but the fact was, that he had never seen or beard of that gentleman before he came into that Court the other day. 11r. ALLEY said, that if lettere of this description were made public, together with the opinion of the Chairman, the system would terminate in two months. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of Grain fresh up since Monday are moderate, and of Flour small. The Wheat trade remains heavy at the terms last quoted. Barley has scarcely any buyers to-day. Beans and Pease as last reported. Oats maintain Monday's terms. The Flour trade is heavy this week. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats. Flour. English Irish - 3,150 - Foreign - - - - The Lord Chancellor has made another of his rapid movements. He passed through London from the Nortb, to visit Lady Brougham and his family at Brighton, on Saturday, returned to town on Monday, and dined with Lord Holland at Holl-ind House, and started again very early yesterday morning on his return to Brougham Hall. The venerable Earl Fortescue is so far re covered from his late illness as to be enabled to walk out.— TVestern Paper. The ex-Secretary, Sir Robert Peel, was re ceived by the populace outside the church with every mark of disapprobation. We regret this exceedingly; but the Right Hon. Bsronet was amply compensated for this un toward event by the agreeable circumstance of his having been introduced, by Mr. Francis Lloyd, to the leader of the populace, Mr. George Edmonds. The parties ap peared to receive each other with great cordiality. This is as it should be; but we suspect that the Right Hon. Baronet has not taken much by this grand Tory movement. The Whigs are not more likely now than heretofore to be superseded by their opponents.—Birmingham Journal. On Thursday last the Duke of St. Albans, attended by a party of friends, gave a public exhibition of his falcons at Uckington-field, about two miles on the Tewkesbury road. A very large concourse of spectator, were assembled to witness so novel a sport, all of whom appeared delighted. After the " flight" the Duke and Duchess gave a splendid cold collation to a select party at Pittville. VICE-REGAL HOUSEHOLD.—The newspa pers are copying from each other that General Grey, bro ther of the Premier, is appointed Controller of the Lord- Lieutenant's household, with a salary of 2,000/. a-year ; and this paragraph, which every paper is Dublin knows to be false, appeared in the Evening Packet without re mark. The salary, instead of being 2,000/., is even un. der 5001. a-year; and Lord George Hill, Controller to Lord Anglesea, was re-appointed to the same office by the Marquis Wellesley ; nor has General Grey, or C)lonel Grey, any appointment in the household, or in Ireland. Earl Grey's youngest son, who some time ago purchased a lieutenancy in the 51st Infantry, and who recently did duty in Dublin with the 43d Regiment, is one of the Lord-Lieutenant's aides-de-camp—a situation of which the principal emolument is a forage allowance for a couple of horses ; and this is magnified into a Controllership to the General of 2,000/. a-year !—Dublin Times. A new commission has been issued for West moreland ; and amongst the gentlemen whom the Lord Lieutenant has at length deemed worthy of being appointed Magistrates are the following :—R. Tinkler, Esq., A. Shepherd, Esq., J. Richards, Esq., Sickville Rippon, Esq., W. Moore, Esq., W. D. Cottyn, E-q., and a Capt. Irving.— Carlisle Paper. THE LATE ACCIDENT BY THE QUICK SILVER BRIGHTON COACH.—The whole of the individuals who suffered so severely a few weeks back, by the upset ting of the Quicksilver coach, have now recovered. Mr. Alexander, on hearing of the accident, sent eminent medical men to the sufferers, all of whose demands he has settled, as well as their expenses at the inns. It is said he paid Mr. Levy, the principal sufferer, 6001. The only gentleman who refused to receive any compensation was Mr. C. Pearson, the Common Councilman. London has 194,000 houses, and 1,474,000 inhabitants; Paris 45,000 houses, and 774,000 inhabit ants; Peteraburgh, 9,500 houses, and 449,000 inhabit• ants; Naples, 40,000 houses, and 360,000 inhabitants; and Vienna, 7,500 houses, and 300,000 inhabitants. MANCHESTER.—The following are the num ber of voters in Manche4ter last and present year :—ln 1832, 4,288 ; in 1833, 5,326. In 1832, including the townships, 6,787: in 1833, ditto, 7,334. SALFORD.—The number of voters this year, as compared with last, show a diminution of 140. In 1832 it was 1,495; in 1833 only 1,355. GLOUCESTER.—The number of freemen re t tined upon the register for the city of Gloucester is 753, being twenty-eight more than last year ; the number of 101. householders is 818, exhibiting an increase of sixteen over last year's list ; but as many of these are also in the freemen's list, the total of electors will probably not exceed 1,300. WOLVERHANIPTON.-1 he Commissioners of the town are to become the lessees of the Duke of Cleveland's market rights from Lady-day next. This ar rangement will enable the Commissioners to make many regulations long wanted fur the convenience of the public, and put an end to the litigation against the Duke's late lessee. NEW MUSKET.—A gunsmith at Irelles, in Belgium, of the name of Alontigny, has latterly made some biehly-successful experiments, in the presence of several officers, with a musket of new construction, for which he has taken out a patent. The charge is inserted at the breach. He loaded and fired 21 times in three minutes, whilst three experienced hands with rifles were not able to load more than 14 times altogether in the same interval. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Monday even ing, between six and seven o'clock, 'as one of the waggons of Messrs. Smith, distillers, of Whitechapel, was return ing to town, the horses started off in Rumley-road, op posite ti the Royal Hospital at Greenwich, and the driver, in attempting to stop their progress, was knocked down, when the waggon passed over both his hips. He was immediately conveyed to the Royal Hospital Infirmary, while the waggon continued its career as far as London. street, when a Royal Marine, named William Burchley, jumped up behind and, removing to the fore part of the waggon, got on the shaft horse's back, and cau ht the bridle so as to stop the horses. The poor man is since dead. At Braintree Fair, on Wednesday, there was the largest show of stock ever remembered, and altogether it was of a very superior quality. Nearly 10,000 sheep were penned, which, with the beasts, sold briskly on the first day at good prices. Horses met a dull sale, the high prices demanded preventing many from changing hands. There was a larger show of hops, principally of E,sex growth, than was expected ; the samples were generally of pretty good quality, and met a tolerable sale at from 71. to 101. per cwt. A small quantity of cheese and butter was sold, the latter at 555. per firkin.— Essex Herald. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE--SEVEN TEEN LIVES LOST.-We regret to learn that the account of the loss of a boat on the Erris coast, to which we briefly alluded in our last, has been confirmed, and that the casualty has been much more serious than we had at first anticipated. It appears that on Saturday last, a small boat, with seventeen persons on board, was return ing from Belmullet to Kilgalligan, and when near Broad haven, she was struck by a heavy sea, and upset, burying her entire crew in the briny deep. One man, named Anthony Ruddy, who was to have been of th e p art y, was so drunk, that they we re obliged to leave him behind, and thus, for once, whisky, which has been the destruction of so many of our countrymen, stood his friend, and saved him from the unhappy fate of his companions. The un fortunate event was not ascertained for two days after wards, when the boat was thrown in upon the shore at Enver.....314y 0 Constitution. 4 TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.

VERAX' THE FUNDS. Consols, which left off yesterday at S7i- i for Account, opened exceedingly heavy this morning at S7l ; soon after they were done at 871 ; since which a reaction has taken place, and are at present 87k. This receding of the funds may be attributed to the French funds coming one per cent. lower-74f. 20c., caused by warlike reports at Paris, such as Bourmont with Don Carlos, having en tered Spain with 6,000 men. Also an Ordinance has been issued in France for a levy of 35 thotpand conscripts. Lastly, the French are going to establish a cordon of born 35,000 to 50,000 men on the frontiers of Spain. There can be no doubt, as we stated yesterday in our City article, that the French Government are on the qui vive ; and we find that General Soult has taken his de parture for Toulouse, we suppose with private instructions for his relative the Minister of War. Another current report prevailed in the French capital that Russia has refused (or perhaps will) to recognise the Queen of Spain. Upon the whole, a dark cloud at present appears to be hovering over the Peninsula, and great fear is entertained it will be dispersed by the thunder of the cannon of a civil war. Up to the present hour we have no arrivals from Por tugal, which is anxiously sought after, as well as from Spain. _ . _ .... The Foreign Stocks are heavy, and looking down. Por tuguese Scrip 21i ; Spanish 22i to 23. HALF-PAST ONE. We still continue without any arrivals from Spain or Portugal, consequently we have no political information to communicate, up to the present hour. The Funds, which had a very gloomy appearance in the early part of the morning, have since improved. Consols, which were done at 871, are at present S7i for the Account, and for next time Seii, but no business of im. portance is transacting.

Consols for the Account, 87. k. The damage done this season to the crops on a number of farms in this country, by game and rabbits, has been so great that the tenants have considered it ad visable to have the crops inspected, and the precise damage ascertained by competent valuators. In some instances, the damage has been nearly a third part of the rent of the farm.—Perthshire Advertiser. A company has been formed at Whitby, celled the " Whitby Herring Company," to cure herrings and other fish for home sale or exportation. This branch has been hitherto confined to a small extent of coast, Yarmouth taking the lead. CHOLERA AT PALMouTH.—For some weeks past cholera has been prevalent at Falmouth. It has carried off 41 out of about 160 cases, since the com mencement, but is now much abated. The deaths on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, were only five in the three days. The Board of Health has been very Etive. Falmouth Paper. DRURY.LANE THEATRE. The tragedy of Macbeth was performed last night '1 this theatre.

Any person undertaking . t° r o f Lady Macbeth has to contend with the recollec tion. perhaps the greatest actress this country has ever produer:pe and that too in what was considered her greatest, or ° A of her greatest, characters. It is not difficu lt for an act s to become a respectable proficient in sleep-walkinp ot drawing a dagger, or in falling gracefully upon the p oi°t o it. But all these things, and even much more, are but m p h theatrical properties in the fitting out of a Lady Alac b : it that tremendous virago, so masculine in crime th' oll requires almost as much genius to play the character , t p. as it did to write it.
