all sides ; and adds, that it seems even to have been its wish that - the immediate contact of Greece with the provinces that have been restored to Turkey, after having -long fought for their independence, should be between the two nations a constant cause of agitation and hostility. It is worthy of remark, as it clearly indicates the character of Greek faith, that the memoir of the Senate to Prince Leopold was made public, it is not known why ; and after its publication serious disturbances broke out at various points of the country, armed multitudes opposed the payment of taxes, and the soldiery, called in to d'sperse them and to protect the tax-gatherers, was rendered effective only by the assistance of the French troops. The garrisons of the latter, how ever, being very inconsiderable, they cannot carry their powerful influence in all directions, and there is every probability of a strong opposition to the Go vernment on the part of the people, if France and Russia should leave it without the means of enforcing obedience, and the execution of the laws. The tribunal of appeal for commercial affairs gives some importance to Ancona ; but the road from Terracina to Brindes, which has lately been opened to the kingdom of Naples, diminishes the number of tra vellers who embarked at Ancona for Greece and the lonian islands : the passage from Brindes to Corfu is made in 12 hours. We shall therefore soon lose on one side what we have gained on the other.' " The following intelligence from Vienna is dated May 19 :- 4 It is announced that a contract has been concluded with Messrs. Rothschild for a loan to Turkey, of which the following are the details : The amount will be sufficient to enable the Porte to discharge the whole of the indemnities and war con tributions engaged to be paid to Russia, and is to be advanced in the course of the year ; so that the Turkish territories may within that period be eva cuated by the Russian troops. The contractors are to advance 80 for every - 100, and the bonds for 100 will bear 5 per cent. interest, payable at Vienna, Frankfort, Amsterdam, London, and Paris, at the various establishments of the Rothschild family in those cities. Some persons assert that Austria has undertaken to guarantee the whole loan, and that for her security she will be put into possession of several fortresses upon the Turkish frontiers, where she will receive the duties till the whole of the loan is liqui dated. Within the last month, the various branches of Rothschild's house have been making large sales of public securities of every description, and it is to this circumstance that the late depreciation in the value of the Metalliques and other Funds may be at tributed. It is also asserted that the Rothschilds of Paris have disposed of the whole of their Four per Cents. in one lot at 100. The natural inference is, that this has been done in order to enable them to effect some financial operation, the profit of which will ultimately compensate them for the sacrifices they are making at present.' " The following extract of a letter from Smyrna is of April 20 Our trade, already suffering from the introduction of the Miri, a tax on all Asiatic produce, is menaced with a fresh blow, which will greatly diminish the traffic of this port. It is the intention of the Porte, in order to restore its ex hausted finances, to follow the example of Egypt, and establish a monopoly of some of the principal productions of Asia, which form our chief exports. The probable adoption of this plan causes mach anxiety, for when once adopted, no representations to the contrary will be of any avail with the Turks, as was the case with the itiliri , which continues in spite of the representations of the European Minis ters at Constantinople.'

John Ramsey, his Majesty's half-pay, to be Military Secretary; Capt. Alex ander IPLaghlan, Royal Artillei y ; Lieut. Lord Ramsey, his Majesty's 26th Regiment; and Captain John Byrne, his Majesty's 31st Regiment, to be Aides-de-Camp; As sistant-Surgeon D. Murray, M.D., his Majesty's 16th Lancers, Surgeon. The Governor in Council at Madras has directed that Circulating or Lending Libraries, for the use of the Euro pean troops, be established at Fort St. George, St. Thomas's Mount, Bangalore, Trichinopoly, Hyderabad, Nagpoor, Bellary, Masulipatam, Cannamore, Poonamallee, Vizagapatam, and Cuddalore. The following General Order has been iasled by the Commander-in-Chief at Madras, dated head-quarters, Choultry Dec. 4, 1829 :—" The Commander-in- Chief having, with great disgust, noticed a feminine prac tice adopted by some Officers of this service, of wearing combs in their hair, And dangling fancy curls, unbecoming the appearance of a soldier, desires that this practice may be forthwith abolished, and a more male costume adopted." Captain Wetherall, of the 13th Light Dragoons, has been appointed Deputy Judge Advocate General to his Majesty's Forces serving under the Madras Presidency, vice Lieutenant-Colonel Wetherall, who resigns. His Majesty's steam-packets are to proceed in future no farther up the Mediterranean than Malta. The steam-packet from Corfu is to meet them with the des patches, and she returns immediately to Gibraltar and Cadiz, &c., and from thence to England. The Malta and Gibraltar merchants complain loudly of the steam-packet touching at Cadiz on her return to England, as the Consul of that place has the power of detaining her 24 hours, whether he may have official communications to make or not, by which means the regular correspondence is inter rupted. The steam-packet which arrived from Malta yesterday, after a run of 51 days from Falmouth to Corfu and back, was commanded by Lieut. BissErr, who was the fast officer that directed a steam-vessel across the Bay of Biscay, as it was this gentleman who was in charge of the George the Fourth, which belonged to Sir J. MILLay DOYLE in 1828, and was by Mr. BISSETT sold to tl • French during the blockade of Cadiz, although, by an arti fice on the part of the Frencb ? the contract of Bala was plObt fraudulently broken. T Dl 7 ' ' tribie LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 1, 1830. HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH. The following is the Bulletin issued this day— " Windsor Castle, June I. " The KING has passed a quiet night. In other re spects his MAJESTY continues the same. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW J. TIERNEY." The following are extracts from German and other Papers : NAPLES, MAT 11.—The veil is not yet wholly re moved that covers the negociations with the Pacha of Egypt concerning Algiers, but we believe we may affirm that the fact itself is undoubted, that a convention was concluded at Alexandria between France and the Viceroy, by which the former• bound itself to subdue the Barbary States and deliver them up to the Viceroy, who, on his part, engaged to maintain order and security on the north coast of Africa. It seems that Russia took some share in promoting this plan ; but it is probable that the opposi tion which the matter afterwards met with from the Porte and England have delayed the publication of that document, of which persons worthy of credit affirm they have seen copies here and in Sicily, awl may even have made the Pasha himself waver in the resolutions which he had already taken. The absence of the King and the loss of the Chevalier de Medici are severely felt in our own country. To what a degree, notwithstanding the diverse opinions of the poli tical character of this statesman, his death is felt as a loss, is evinced by the report which is generally spread, and though wholly groundless shows the mistrust of national jealousy, that the Spaniards poisoned the Minister. VIENNA, MAY 21.—Metalliques 100 7-10 ; Four• per Cents. 96i ; Bank Stock 1334*. MUNICH, MAY 22.—The return of the King is ex pected with the more impatience, because it will be fol lowed by ►arious changes in the Administration of the af fairs of the kingdom. One thing in particular which is universally desired is the new organization of the Courts of Justice, of which the kingdom has so much need. Lithographic copies of a plan have been sent to the Magis trates of the circles, upon which they are desired to give their opinions. According to this plan the administration and police will be taken from the Provincial Judges. Be• sides the advantage of setting bands to arbitrary proceed ings, abuses such as we have witnessed will be impossible. But there will be in districts, the extent of which will be fixed, Commissioners, to whom be confided the Admi nistration and the Police, which have hitherto been wholly neglected by the Provincial Judges. One of the effects of such a change will certainly be that our high roads will be at length planted with trees. The plantations, made by the Provincial Judges, have been always so neglected, and that in a few years the trees always perished. CARLSRUHE, MAY 23. —Their Royal Highnesses the Grand Duke and Duchess yesterday gave audience to the Count de Seyasel d'Aix, Envoy Extraordinary from his Majesty the King of Bavaria, who, in return for the mission of General Von Stockholm from Baden, was commissioned to present his Majesty's compliments of condolence on the death of the Grand Duke Louis, told his congratulations on the accession of his Royal Highness the Grand Duke Leopold. FRANKFORT, MAY 24.—Exchange on London, two months, 151. BERLIN, MAT 16.—His Majesty has addressed a Cabinet Order to the Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs, the Preamble of which is as follows : " The third Secular Celebration of the year in which the Augsburgh Confession was presented—on account of the high value of this Confession of Faith, which, after the Holy Scriptures, is to be considered as the basis of the Evangelic Church, and on account of its great influence on the internal and external consolidation of it—will afford professors of the Evangelic faith a welcome opportunity to unite in manifesting their joy and gratitude at the blessings of the Protestant faith, which they have hitherto enjoyed, and to offer to God the expressions of their respect and adoration. I have therefore resolved that this day (25th of June) shall be religiously observed as in 1730, or on the following Sunday, in all the Protestant congregations in the kingdom. May the commemoration of the delivery of this confession (founded on Scripture, and on the saving truths revealed in it) of the faith of the Evangelic Christians, which, after the lapse of three centuries, shows and will show itself as authentic as it did at that time, and in the spirit of which I myself most heartily join—contribute to confirm and animate in the Evangelic Church the true faith, to promote among its members unity in the Spirit, and to encourage in all my Protestant subjects mew reso lutions of true piety, Christian charity, and tolerance !" BUCHAREST, MAY 7.—ln the Russian cantonments and garrisons in Bulgaria every thing is in a bustle. For some weeks past there have been continual reviews and musters, whence it is supposed that these troops will shortly depart. Even at Varna, as we hear, the works to strengthen the fortifications have been reared, and it is thought that that important place will soon be given up to the Turks. In the principalities, too, the Russians are preparing for their departure ; but well-informed persons say that they will leave garrisons to do duty together with the native troops, the organisation of which proceeeds rapidly. It is affirmed also, that a great part of the Russian troops will not return to their old cantonments, but remain in Bessarabia, which seems to be confirmed by the fact that large magazines are forming in that province. Our trade with Bulgaria and Rumelia does not increase, as we hoped it would, on the return of peace; however, we expect an improvement after the departure of the Russian troops. —Nuremberg Cor respondent, May 24. There is an article in the last number of the Edinburgh Review on the Coal Trade, which places in the strongest point of view the hard ship and impolicy of the present Duty on Coals. The importance of the article of fuel to the wants of every family in the land, be it high or low, is such, that it ranks, in truth, among the first ne cessaries of life ; and when we are paying in London, and the southern parts of England, so enormous prices for this necessary, it is well that the public attention should be directed to the means whereby its cost is so prodigiously en hanced. The Edinburgh Review has furnished a list of the various exactions, whereby that which the Coal-owner sells on an average for 1138., is ma& to cost the London consumer 525. and upwards per chaldron, and has represented the evils of these exactions so forcibly as to sa tisfy all reflecting persons, that the subject is one that calls for the immediate interference of Go vernment. The main grievance is the King's duty of six shillings a chaldron on all coal carried coastwise —a tax unjust in its principle, as affecting ex clusively the inhabitants of certain parts of the kingdom—those inhabitants being the very per sons by whom coal is procured at the greatest expense. The people in the coal districts pay no duty whatever, whilst those who are obliged to have it brought from a distance, are burthened with freight, port charges, and a duty equivalent to 50 per cent. ! In London the orphans' dues, and other municipal impositions, amount to 4s. 92d. per chaldron, and the charges of deli very from a vessel lying below London Bridge, and placing it in the consumer's cellar, are alto gether no less than 13s. 7d. per chaldron, being, more than the whole cost up to the time of ship ment, and by one imposition and another the sum of 345. 40. is added to the cost of each chaldron of coals taken at the time of shipment. At the outports the town dues are lighter, but the cost is still enhanced to a most outrageous extent. If any Government duty ought to be levied, it should certainly be at the pit's mouth so that all consumers should be taxed alike. A duty of a shilling per chaldron on all the coal consumed in private houses would yield more than the present partial duty of six shillings, with a ge neral exemption of all coal used in manufacto ries. There might be difficulties in arranging this latter exemption, but such difficulties are rather a reason for abolishing the duty altoge ther, than for upholding it on its present iniqui tous footing. We believe the poverty and wretchedness of the labourers in the southern counties, and the consequent increase of Poor Rates, to be greatly attributable to the compara tive scarcity of coal in those districts, and that the tax upon fuel has an especially strong tendency to depress the condition of the lower classes whom other causes, such as the payment of wages out of the Poors' Rates, at the same time conspire to degrade. The produce of the Coal Duty for 1828 was 936,0881., and the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER might ask, how it is proposed that such a loss of revenue should be made up. The answer is, that the productiveness of a tax can never excuse its injustice; and that the C o al Tax is unjust in its operation is indisputable. Its repeal would, besides directly relieving a great branch of the Shipping interest, so much improve the condition of at least one-half of our population, that an increase in the consumption of taxed articles would follow as a matter of course, though this is a point of view in which, it seems, the Government will never be brought to regard a remission of taxes. But a sound system of finance would deal with the question in a very different manner. It would repeal the Coal Duty, together with many other duties almost equally mischievous, upon the simple ground that the injury inflicted by them upon the national industry, and their inconsistency with the well-being of the people, are evils ex• ceeding the advantages derived from the revenue they furnish. The deficiency caused by such a repeal must, if need be, supplied by a Property tax, a measure which, at least, will not be re pugnant to that equal justice whereby the Go, vernment is bound to act in finance as in other matters. To justify the existing taxes, because the revenue cannot be dispensed with, is to act so as "propter vitam vivendi perdere camas." THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, T ITEL YE 0' CL 0 Clc.

LORD V. COOPER AWD SPRATT. This was an action to recover the sum of 5001. The short facts of the case were these. The plaintiff had ad vanced the sum of 5,0001., secured upon the bills of lading of a large quantity of wool, and a policy of insurance on the same, to a person of the name of O'Brien. The wool ar rived in due course from Spain, and was deposited in the warehouses of the defendants. The petitioner sold the wool, but upon applying to the defendants to deliver up the wool in their possession, the defendants set up a claim on behalf of Laughton and Co., in respect of part of the wool ; and the plaintiff, before be could get possession of the property in question, was compelled to pay to the de fendants for Laughton and Co. the sum for the recovery of which the present action was brought. Mr. Por.Locx and Mr. ALEXANDEB. were Coun.el for the plaintiff. Mr. CAMPBELL, on the part of the defendants, int.,r rupted Mr. Pollock, observing, that he could prove a lien on the wool on the part of Laughton and Co., previous to the transaction between O'Brien and the plaintiff. The Learned Counsel then called Andrew Laughton, jun., a member of the firm of Laughton and Co., who proved that they had advanced to O'Brien 2,000/. in the beginning of 1819, the amount of which was secured partly upon the bill of lading of 112 bags of wool. Mr. POLLOCK confessed that this evidence put him out of Court, and he must therefore submit to a nonsuit. The plaintiff was then noosuited. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) John Barnes, a respectable-looking man, aged 30, was indicted fur stealing, on the 21st of April last, sixty-one silver plates and other articles, value 4001. the propel ty of the Marquis of Bath. The prisoner formerly lived in his Lordship's service as under-butler. Mr. ADOLPHUS appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. ALLEY and Mr. C. PHILLIPS for the prisoner. Edward Bronishy stated that he was steward to the Marquis of Bath. The prisoner Lad been in the Marquis's service more than two years; he left in April last, and was succeeded by a person named Hare. The Marquis's plate was kept in a strong closet, made for the purpose, which was opened by a secret spring. The prisoner, from his situation, must have been well acquainted with this spring. The plate was missed on the 22d of April. On the night previous, from seven o'clock to between ten and eleven, the prisoner was at the Marquis's house. Witness saw him in the porter's-hall. The prisoner's lodgings were searched, but no part of the stolen property was found, or any trace of it. Cress-examined by Mr. ALLEY.-The prisoner left the service of the Marquis of Bath of bis own accord. He always supported the character of an honest inclastrious servant. John Bagwell, a porter to the Marquis of Bath, stated, that about seven o'clock, on the 21st of April, the prisoner came to his Lordship's house ; be went down stairs to wards the pantry where the plate was kept : he was gone about half an hour. Witness had no conversation with the prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS.-Witness let the prisoner out on that night. It sometimes happened that more than two hundred persons called at his Lordship's house during the day. The prisoner always maintained a goad character. - William Freeman was in the service of the Marquis of Bath. Saw the prisoner at his Lordship's house on the 21st of April ; be was then in the pantry where the plate was kept. He was at that time by himself. Witness was not in the pantry all the time the prisoner was there. Henry Hare examined-L-1s under-butler to the Mar quis of Bath, and succeeded the prisoner in his situation. Witness had been cleaning the missing plate on the 19th April, and put it into the strong closet on the afternoon of that day. There were 61 silver plates and other articles lost. Saw the prisoner at the Marquis's house on the night before the plate was stolen. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—Witness had been in England about fourteen mouths. He was responsible for the safety of the plate, and in consequence was natu rally anxious to clear himself from blame, and to charge it to any one that he could suspect. Mr. ADOLPHUS-Of com se ; and as you have been asked such a question, I must ask you one far form's sake. Did you steal the plate ?—(Laughter.) Witness—No, certainly not. The prisoner and him had always been good friends. At the time of the robbery the house was in considerable confusion by the illness of Lady Bath. Ebenezer Thurgood—About half-past nine en the even ing of the 21st of April saw a man feeling about the lock of the outer door of Lord Bath's house. Witness told the steward of this circumstance. Cross-examined—ls confident that man was not the prisoner. _ John Ackwell examined—ls coachman to Dr. Warren. While waiting for his master in Grosveaor.square, on the night of the 21st of April, he saw a person stoop down, and lift something tied up in a cloth from the area of Lord Bath's house. Witness did not see any one in the area. Cross-examined—The prisoner was not the person who took up the parcel. . . Susannah Cox, housemaid to Lord Bath, proved that the prisoner was at his Lordship's house on the 21st April, until past ten o'clock. Henry Thompson, a publican, in Duke-street, Grosvenor square, was passing Lord Bath's house, about ten o'clock. Saw a person pick up a parcel from the area: Had known the prisoner three years, and was confident he was not the man. Robert Gardner, a police-officer, searched the pri soner's lodgings. Not the least trace of the articles missing was discovered. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. ALLEY submitted there was not sufficient evidence to go to the Jury. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN said he should certainly leave the case for the decision of the Jury. The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, merely declared that he was innocent of the charge against him. The Marchioness of Westmeath, and several other wit nesses, gave the prisoner an excellent character. Mr: Baron VA uGHAN summed up the evidence at great length, and the Jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The announcement of this verdict was received with clapping of hands and other demonstrations of joy by the prisoner's friends, a number of whom were in the gallery. - - Mr. Baron VAUH GAN—Shame ! Shame ! We are not in a theatre : such conduct is disgusting, and if repeated I shall immediately order the persons to be turned out of Court. Prisoner, you have had a narrow escape. The prisoner was then charged on a second indictment with stealing six glasses, value 31., the property of the Marquis of Bath. (This trial was proceeding when our reporter left.) NEW COURT. Thomas Brown, aged 35, and John Crauley, aged were capitally indicted for maliciously and unlawfully assaulting and stabbing John Childs, with intent to murder him ; there were other counts, charging with intent to maim, do him bodily harm, &c. John Childs lives at 34, Great Sutton -street, Clerken well ; was crossing Smithfield, in company with a person named Marlbrough, on the 23d of April, when he saw the two prisoners following a youth with a box, whom he supposed they intended to rob, and therefore he watched them srme time ; when they came to the corner of Hosier lane, Marlbrough left him, and the prisoner Brown came up to him, and, in abusive language, demanded to know who the - cove was that had just left him; he told them he was a nailor ; they then went en; but on his coming to Smithfielr.,bars, the prisoners were waiting, and Crau ley struck him two violent blows, and while he was in the act of picking up his hat, Brown struck him on the cheek with the point of an umbrella, which penetrated through into his mouth. Several eye-witnesses to the whole transaction corrobo rated the testimony of the prosecutor. Messrs. BULLOCK and BURNABY conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. PHILLIPS for the defence. . . ......._.

SUGAR.-The Market continues to be barely supplied with Plantation Sugar of the new crop, and the stock in the West India Docks has been reduced to 8,484 hhds. and 1,163 trcs. The deliveries last week were 2,318 hhds. and 132 tres. Prices are firm for fine qualities. The deliveries of Mauritius last week were very large, viz. 6,000 bags for the home trade, and 2,400 bags for exportation--_but the stock is above '75,500 bar. There is nothing doing in this market to-day. Refined goods are steady. For COFFEE there is not much demand this morning, but the market is more firm. Rum.—The landings last week were not quite equal to the deliveries from the West India Docks, and the stock is 15,263 puns. and 1,623 hlids. The sales are not extensive. SPICES.—The declaration of Cinnamon issued by order of the Lords of the Treasury for the Ceylon Government, is just out, and consists of 90,000 lbs. The sale is fixed for next month, when a large quantity of Pepper, &c. will be offered. The Spice Market is firm. TOBACCO.—This market is in a languid state, with little prospect of improvement. In a few months the new crop will be making its appearance, and front the last ad vices, is expected to be large and of good quality. The stock is about 22,000 fluids, principally old ordinary qua lities. An expectation is indulged among the trade, that the proposed measure of Government, allowing the growth of Tobacco in Ireland, will be abandoned on account of the difficulty in collect;ng the revenue. HOPS. This morning's advices from the plantations state, that the flea continued in great numbers, but the bines are very strong. There is scarcely any thing doing in Hops. BALTIC PRODUCE.-The Tallow market is firm, at from 345. 9d. to 355. per cwt., and there are buyers of new Tallow at 365. The stock is 15,705 casks, and the delivery last week 1,330 casks. Hemp is at 431., and Flax P.T.R. at 371. 10s. per ton. The letters from St. Petersburgh are to the 16th ult. The exchange on Lon don was at 10 13-32 ; and Tallow at 97 buyers. The weather was very stormy, and the bridge across the Neva had been removed for the thirteenth time. Steam-ships had sailed, and arrivals from Great Britain daily looked for. SILK.—In Bengal and China Silks there is not much doing, the trade waiting the result of the East India Com pany's sale. The quantity of private trade Silks declared is large. Of Company's Bengal 2,400 bales are to be offered. TEAS are more firm, in consequence of the news of the suspension of the trade to Canton. The stocks on hand ; however, are very large. The COTTON market is flat, but prices are not lower. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS. The Hon.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. This place was crowded yesterday, but, as settling for the Derby and Oaks does not take place till this day, very little money changed bands. Little or nothing was done on the St. Leger, the whole attention of the subscribers being taken up by last week's business. Priam continues rising, and is now at 5 to 2 (taken), and Brunswicker has still a few friends at 20 to 1. As the market is not exactly in a settled state at present, we do not think it prudent to give any quotation of odds. This day's pro ceedings will be highly interesting—one person is already talked of as dubious, but any further notice would be pre mature. We shall give the particulars of the settling in our next. The following official notice has been issued from the War Office—" The Secretary at War acknowledges the receipt of a memorandum from E. 8., dated April 24, 1830, of which the following is a capy:—E. B. requests the Secretary at War will credit the public with the en closed bill for 501."—The said sum has accordingly been paid into the Bank of England, to the account of the Pay master-General of his Majesty's Forces, for the service of the public. Papers and letters from Bombay to the 20th of March were received yesterday, by the Hugh Lindsay steam-vessel, by the way of the Red Sea and Alexandria. They bring intelligence of the total suspension at Canton of the trade between the Rtst India Company and tie Chinese, by the Select Committee of Supercargoes, who have issued the following document on the occasion : it appears in a Bombay Gazette Extraordinary of the 16th of March : " Notice is hereby given, that we, President and Select Committee of Supercargoes, being duly authorised by acts of legislature to superintend all the affairs of the English nation in China, do hereby interdict intercourse between merchant vessels under the British flag, and all ports of Canton, and prohibit all such vessels from proceeding in the channel towards the Bocca Tigris, beyond the island of Lintin. We further give warning, that an infraction of this notice will render the parties so offending liable to the penalties which have been attached by Acts of Par liament to disobedience of the orders of the Representatives of the East India Company in China, upon all points con nected with the trade to the port of Canton. (Signed) ,‘ H. C. PLOWDEN. " W ILL.WIAM BAYNES, " CHARLES " J. BANNEItMAN." The private letters from Bombay, which are dated on the 20th of March, state that Mr. PLOWDEN, the President of the Select Committedivas coming hence in the Bridge water. The ships had all sailed for Manilla to winter, and wait there for orders from the Court of Directors. The supercargoes were embarking in the ships for Manilla. The proclamation is dated on the 24th of January, and was brought to Bombay by the Don Manuel de Portugal. ON THE PRESENT STATE OP THE INSANE.

SIR,—On attentively perusing the report which l e have published of the annual meeting of the above Coe pany, I find so much reason to doubt the justice of that marks of approbation, which appear to have followed 0 1 disclosures made on that occasion, that I trust you W I permit me to attempt justifying these doubts by a few ° I servations, premising that I am no theorist in wha t have to offer on this subject. I believe it is now nearly six years since this i ns tituti c was first established, dati ng it s or i g i n f rom the memo di period in which the bubble mania raged with so much g i° , lence in London. It mus t b e ac k now l e d ged, therefor; that its growth to a state of prosperous maturity 1 ' been rather sl ow , w h en , a f ter so considerable an j 0 terve!, it has b een a bl e to di v id e no more'than four r . cent. upon it s pa id up cap i ta l ; reco l lect i ng at the or ,; time that, exc l us i ve o f t h e d est i tute state of capital in 4r, land, the l ega l rate o f i nterest st ill cont i nues at six r cent. instead of five, as in England ! This dividend of four per cent. appears to have ear l lowed up nearly the entire net annual profit, leaving more than 1,300/. as a reserve fund, which every man practical knowledge will at once pronounce to be tnt too small a surplus laid by for f u t ure contingencies, ev" if these contingencies were far less prevalent than they 11 confessedly known to be in Ireland. But the e xtran contrast between the nucleus of a reserve or sinking ful l (which it is the duty of every w e ll c o n d uc t e d i ns tituto , of this description to provide,) and the sum of 500,000 capital, on which the Company have been trading, rot', abundantly show that they have had difficulties to encotO, ter of no ordinary character, even exclusive of the cone with the Bank of Ireland; and in every probability the construction of the unwieldy machine, which tb have had to manage,with its multiplicity of members, 1 . 1 / integral relation to eac h o t- er , mus t en t a il u p on i ts p tical operations a system of expenditure so great as to V e y ' vent the possibility of its reaching, withi n any reason ab period, that flourishing and prosperous conditiop whi` the Chairman so confidently anticipated, What, for instance, can be more anomalous, or all rently inconsistent with the policy of an institution P e fessing to confer wealth and commerc i a l prosper i ty on Ir land, than that this very meeting should be held in Loft don, at the distance of four and nearly 500 miles fret, many of its branches--that its affairs should be annan); canvassed and developed in the same pl ace — t h at its pole cipal depot of wealth should in every probability be n stationed here, instead of being c onso lid ate d i n t h at coy ° try, from whose fertility and industry it hopes to ac e mulate those profits on which its ultimate p ro spery must depend ?—must not the interval of space a bove 1 4 ferred to between the mot, a 3 it were, and its nuttier°, 0 ramifications, produce of itself an infinity of expense, various kinds, incident to the operations of banking, o'4 mously burthensome on the profits of this Company? practical man can for a moment doubt this, and the err,; sit of specie from London, on a late occasion, to e -rief exigences occasioned by a panic in Irelal 4 d dn • ales cr! , of the Company, must haVe abundantly proved the too of this inference !
