In again turning over the leaves of the ponderous volume, recently published by the House of Com mons, concerning Charities, from which we have already made an abstract of one or two most in structive cases, our eve was once more arrested by the name of PRETYMAN. We were immediately convinced that under it we should find something worth notice, that in that page, if any where, an other case of robbery of the poor by the Judases of the Church would turn up, and we read it. The result did not disappoint us, and we resolved to lay an abridgment of the case before our readers. Here it is : " PARISH OF HEHSVIIILL...-HOSPITAL OF STITTAL IN THE STREET. " This hospital," say the Commissioners, whose words we uissep, 1 0 . 1 % e fo . undation,, , of which appears to be of ancient date, Pr e:n ' ati d of considerable property. The . Rev. John , iyuut filo . the Warden or Master, was appointed in or aad, with Y i e h a e r 1815 by the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln, upon certain reve nuer. It having documents relatin exceptio n y the Dean and Chagptcer the q_uiring the productio n of Via very small portion bestowed egnsb,coner3, he receives the whole of the reve etn ascertained that a great variety of IV_:.ospital were in possession of incoln, the usual precept re ; Chapter held themselves boas,temvc issued. The Dean and with the precept, and the och .exempt from complying it their duty to certify the caseatrolli Commissioners found General. Of course, as the Dean :rdMajesty's Attorney- allow the investigation, a most suspiciou s Chapter would not information was collected from other sus ci rcumstance, the trilPag particulars, be incorrect. sources, and may, in " The patronage has been ( time out of mind by the Dean and Chapter of Lin co l n, b ut no d exercised ocu ment con ' `erring this power on them has been discovered. The H pital existed in the time of Richard IL, an d t h e gra "- n Thomas de Aston was to the custos ho s pit a li s, and hi t s from c censors, for his maintenance and that of th e poor there . Every poor mzn of the seven to receive 7d. per w ee k , and a chaplain reduced to age or poverty to receive Ind. It was clearly, therefore, a grant to poor, to indigent, and needy persons. Now it is all swallowed up by a Pretyman. " A portion of the property belonging to the Hospital has been lost; what remains has yielded, from 1821 to 1836, 12,6491., or a yearly income of 5431. Out of this sum NTT. Pretyman pays - 271. 4s. per year to four pen sioners and a half, at the rate of Bs. each per month. He also gave 401. to the Church." This is another case, then, of a gift to the poor, winh the parsons know was given for the use of the poor, and which, nevertheless, they have for ),ears persisted in appropriating entirely to them selves. If • th ere were no persons to receive it ac cording to the will of the donor, it should have been given up for the general benefit. lt is one more of the many cases of spoil • • spoliation of which the Clergy 1 , Those who give the consolations of which this life is susceptible will be credited as the heralds of a life to come, and the dispensers of charity will drive the plunderers of the poor out of the hearts of the people. Thus will Protestantism be brought into discredit, and thus by the rapacity of the An glican priesthood will Catholicism again become the predominant priestcraft in the land. Real, honest, well-meaning Protestants, not hypocritical, insincere men of the world, who take up a religion because it is the fashion, or because they can get something by it-- real sincere Protestants, when they sec the effect of the conduct of the Anglican priesthood, must at once jump to the hateful and burning conviction that this priesthood is the greatest enemy of the Protestant religion. If there be truth or consistency in man, sincere Protestants must turn against those who have given such prodigious advantages to the Catholic superstition. Wise were the members of the Church of Eng gland in their generation when they imposed poli tical restrictions on the Catholics, and would not allow them to have power ; and when they made it a punishable offence to be a Catholic priest. They were sensible that their own conduct afforded such an unfavourable and mortifying contrast to that of the Catholic priesthood, that nothing but the strong arm of the law, preventing all competition, and therefore preventing a comparison, could enable them to preserve their influence over the national mind. They have been unable to main tain their political supremacy. They are now ex posed to the competition they dreaded, and having kept the people in ignorance, in order to plunder them the more securely, they have prepared the way for the re-ascendancy of the Catholic priesthood, and their own ruin. Their best policy now would be at once to conform to Rome, and secure them selves a place in its Hierarchy, for which they are well adapted, by some few voluntary resignations of the incomes of schools and hospitals, and the zeal of apostates. Mr. WYSE'S speech on his unopposed and tri umphant re-election for Waterford, gives a plain, unvarnished history of his exertions in the cause of Reform, and a statement of his present principles. We may augur well of a Ministry which selects such a long tried and consistent R e f ormer , an d suc h s present fast friend to political improvement, par ticularly the improvement of education, for one of its subordinate members. For several years Mr. WYSE has distinguished himself as an advocate of education, and we assume that the Ministry, by offering him place, mean to give additional encouragement and support to the principle of ex tending education. Till we read Mr. WYsE's speech, which we insert at full, we were not quite aware on what principles he had accepted offloc. He now tells us he was appointed unexpectedly and unsolicited by him ; and of course he has consented to no bonds and given up no principles. He must in-- deed, as the public are well aware, be obliged to submit his own particular views to the convenience of the Government as to the period of urging them for nard. He can scarcely, for example, as a Lord of the Treasury, propose next Session, unless he have the approbation of the Ministers, the measure of which he speaks for the improvement of towns. But, with the exception of keeping his views sub ordinate to the Ministerial convenience, he is under no restraint, and can more effectually serve the cause of Reform as a Lord of the Treas sury than as a mere Member of the House of Commons. On the subject of education Mr. "NYSE convicts Lord STANLEY of a most factious proceeding, that of condemning out of office the very conduct he had pursued in office. On the Ballot, on an Extension of the Suffrage, Mr. WYS E goes with us, though he go not so far. To his audience at Waterford, his able speech gave great satisfaction, and his fluent, easy, off-hand, plain and clear manner of expressing himself, will also gain for him general approbation. His accession to the Ministry free and unfettered, is an honour both to him and Lord MELBOURNE. On referring to our Mansion-House report, it is agreeable to contrast the demeanour of the City Magistrate, Sir PETER LAURIE, yesterday, with that of the Chief Magistrate of Bow -street on Saturday. A solicitor, at the instance of a pub lican, applied to Sir PETER for information respect ing one of the clauses of the new Act. The worthy Alderman made no scruples about answering t h e question--told the applicant how he construed the law, and also how he should act if such a case were brought before him. Not so with the Magis trates who receive 1,2001. a year. Their usual reply to impertinent questions of this sort is— " that point is not before me to decide," or "you must consult your solicitor," or, " I am here to administer, noz to propound the law." For our part w e prefer the homely, familiar, and brotherly way of administerinff the law in the City, and are not at all surprised at the out-cry raised against the proposed introduction of paid Police Magis trates into the City of London. appears, from the report of certain proceedings relative t o Church -rates, inserted in another column, that the worthies of Bungay, whose doings we have so frequently had occasion to celebrate, are in the not very enviable state of the foolish fishes which, not relishing the treatment they experienced in the frying-pan, wriggled themselves into the fire. These sage administrators of ecclesiastical persecu tion, it may perhaps be recollected, not long ago, are guilty which are to be found in every part of the kingdom. The wrong is perpetrated, like the other cases we have adverted to by some of the digni fied clergy for the benefit of themselves or their children. A poor man who steals a loaf to satisfy his own craving appetite, or rescue from starvation a wife and family, is sent to gaol to improve his morals ; a great high Priest, who takes 8001. or 9001. a year from the poor, is carried, by virtue of his plunder, into the best society, and caressed and honoured almost as much as if he were the Deity, whose ways he pretends to make known to man. When such are the practices of our moral leaders, and such perversions of morality and justice consti tute the laws of the land, can it surprise any man that spoliation is the principle of our social life, and that to prey successfully on each other is the height of our ambition ? We cannot, on this occasion, lay down our pen without endeavouring to impress on the religious and Protestant part of the community the unspeak able importance of speedily taking measures to purify and purge the Church of such enormities. What do they show? That the poor are, and have been plundered by the Anglican priesthood. And what use is made of such facts ? The Catholic priesthood use them to promote the success of Ca tholicism, a form of Christianity as bad or worse than Church of Englandism, and for which the con duct of the Anglican priesthood is preparing a me morable triumph. Here is an example borrowed from the pages of yesterday's Times of the use which the Catholic priesthood do and will make of such conduct as that of the PRETYMANS, the WILDBORES, and of the Bishops of BANGOR and of LINCOLN " THE CHARTISTS.-On Sunday morning the Norwich Chartists attended the Roman Catholic chapel in that city by invitation from the priest. 1,500 of these deluded men entered the chapel, when the officiating priest preached a sermon from Luke iii, verse 1--g Let him that hath two coats impart one to him that bath none.' The discourse was one of the most indiscreet and inflammatory ever deli vered from a pulpit. It was an attack upon every institution of the country, charging the reformed Church with having, by its robbery of the Catholic institutions, reduced the poor to the extent of suffering they now endured ; that the minis ters of that Church deserted their flocks in sickness and danger, leaving them to receive consolation in their trouble from the preachers's church, &c. —Bury Post." Such cases as those we have quoted bear out the charge of the Catholic priest, and give into his hands a weapon which it will be impossible to blunt or turn aside. The columns of the same priest-slave journal, the powerful but degraded tool of the PRETY MANS and their like, contained a notice that there are several Catholic Monastic establishments in the metropolis, and that a new one for the order of the Sisters of Mercy is now erecting at Bermond sey. A similar establishment is to be formed, the Times also states, in Whitechapel, to which a large school is to be attached. The Sisters of Mercy are pledged to visit the sick poor in their neighbour hood without regard to creed, and to administer to their wants as far as lies in their power. They will win numberless converts for the Catholic priests. The very fact that they contribute to the relief of the poor, while the Protestant priesthood plunder them, will be as a miracle in their favour, and probably Catholicism will soon number its votaries by hundreds of thousands and by millions in the land. *1? - f., " r.f),e -:-Inu+ THE SUN, LONDON. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1838. The following extracts contain all the news to be found in these journals : The delegates . of the beetroot manufacturers have de cided that a protest shall be addressed to the President of the Council of Ministers, demanding an indemnity for the manufacturers, as it was evident their works were to be destroyed. The delegates have also decided to take the best legal advice in Paris its to the means of resisting the illegal act of the reduction of duty on colonial sugar by Royal erdonnance.—Messager. A public experiment of the Daguerrotype was made by its inventor on Saturday, in one of the balls of the Hotel of the Quai d'Orsay. M. Daguerre described the mode of using the instrument to an assembly of about 120 persons, and in less than an hour and a few minutes he produced to his auditors a beautiful view of the river, the terrace, and palace of the Tuileries. BAYONNE, SEPT. s.—We have already announced the arrival on the frontier of a number of civilians from the Basque provinces. Yesterday 45 officers belonging to the 2d, sth, and 7th battalions of Guipuscoa, reached our city. Those officers had been abandoned by the men, who had joined Maroto.—Phare de Bayonne. The position of Don Carlos becomes daily more critical. The emigrants into France, whose number is considerable, are plundered and ill-treated on their passage through Vera and Lesaca by the soldiers of the two revolted battalions. The national flag of Spain was hoised yes terday over the Consul's house to celebrate the successful issue of the negotiations. The Queen's troops found at Andoain 20 pieces of artillery, 1 mortar, 130,000 cart ridges, 200 grenades, and a large quantity of cannon balls, congreve rockets, and other objects.—Memorial Bordelais. Our correspondence from Tolosa states that a collision had taken place in that city between some soldiers of the Queen and a detachment of the disbanded Carlist army, who had plundered several houses belonging to partisans of Don Carlos. Generals Espartcro and llaroto, on being informed of this circumstance, repaired to the scene of action, and restored order.—Courrier de Bordeaux. It was rumoured on the Stock Exchange at twelve o'clock that an Express had arrived in Lon don with a despatch announcing the important in telligence that DON CARLOS was at Bayonn e with his family, having surrendered to the French General HA RISPE. Up to the hour at which we write (half past two o'clock p.m.) no further par ticulars have reached us. If the news be confirmed it may be expected to appear in our Second Edition. It is quite true, we understand, that Sir George Grey has declined to accept a seat in the Cabinet, con ceiving that it is not compatible with the functions of Judge Advocate General. It is also true, as has been announced, that Sir John Newport has resigned the office of Comptroller of the Exchequer, which has been conferred on Lord Monteagle. It is nut true, however, that Mr. R. Gordon has ❑ot become Secretary of the Treasury, as the Post an nounced, for that gentleman has accepted the office and attends daily to the Treasury business.

NEW STRAND THEATRE.—Marceline, or the Soldier's Legacy, was re-produced here last night with decided success. The story is as follows :—A dumb orphan is devotedly attached to her generous friend and benefactor, a veteran French officer, and her speech is at length restored to her in a paroxysm of grief into which she is thrown on learning that her generous protector is about to expose himself in a duel on her account. Miss Daly's personation of her part last night was very credit able, and called forth applause. Mr. Selby made his first appearance in her part of Millefleuers, an exquisite. The other characters were supported by Messrs. J. W. Wray and Oxberry, Mrs. Selby and Mrs. Melville. The popular musical piece of .No, and the burletta of Othello according to Act of Parliament, concluded the evening's entertain ments. The house was well filled. ENGLISH OPERA.--A very poor piece, in tended as a burlesque; of th e , Eglinton T ournament was produced here last night. rho title of this very stupid perpetration is Turn-among, and pe r h a p s t h e b est that could be done with the thing would be to turn it among the literary lumber destined foi th© trunkmaker. got a rate laid on their &lift-parishioners foi certain repairs and other things affirmed to be ne cessary for the due performance of worship in the law-Church. They were told at the time, on high legal authority, that their proceedings were illegal— that the rate, in short, was vitiated by incurable de fects, and that to persist in it would have no other tffect than to inflame the bad feeling already existing in the parish, as it must lead to litigation, in which they were sure to be defeated. Such considerations as this find no place in the breasts of Bungay Churchmen. To talk to a man like Worshipfu Justice BUTCHER, who first moves a rate as a Vestryman and then enforces it as a Magistrate— to talk to a gentleman (bless the mark !) of this des cription about the blessedness of peace-making, is much the same thing as treating the deaf adder to a tune on the violin. Nor is it less a work of vanity to attempt to prevail on BUTCHER'S clerical associates to forego, for the sake of that never-failing charity which they preach up every Sunday, and live down all the rest of the week, any portion, however small, of the pelf which, by hook or by crook, they can extract from their neighbours' pockets. Appeals either to the hearts or the un derstandings of such men are useless, except for the purpose of leaving them without excuse in the perpetration of their injustice. The only way to deal with them is to give them rope enough, and they will follow the example of better animals than themselves. The dilemma in which the Bungay gentry have now involved themselves is this. Hav ing discovered that their late rate is illegal, they are trying to remedy the evil by a greater illegality. The discovery was made too late. They would not open their minds to convic tion while there was room for repentance ; but after the rate had been partly collected the truth all at once burst upon them, and what did they then do, these wise men of Bungay, but quash the rate I Aye, by their own authority, of their own free will and motion, did these modest, unassuming, and learned per sonages, quash the rate which had been made ac cording to the forms enjoined by law, and proceed as coolly to lay another rate as if the former one had never existed ! Have the Bungay bunglers no friend who can keep them from making such fools of themselves ? Is there no man among them who has got even a glimmer of common sense ? There is not a syllable of domestic news of any nterest in the Paris Journals of Sunday. The ittle additional intelligence which they bring from he East will be found in another column. It is reported that the French Government has resolved upon the recal of Admiral Roussi rr from Con stantinople, and that his Excellency will be re placed by M. DE POINTOIS, the French Minister at Washington, who is said to be very favourable to the ma►ntenance of a friendly alliance with this country. Another current rumour in Paris is, that a modification of the Cabinet may be expected very shortly ; and that, as the question of Spanish intervention is now in a fair way of being set at rest, M. THIERS will enter the Cabinet as Minister for Foreign Affairs, Marshal SOULT retaining the Presidency of the Council and the War Department. From the Spanish frontier we have no additional intelligence. The impression in Paris on Sunday was, that Don CARLOS was only prevented from taking refuge in Spain by the hope that General ELIo would be able to obtain for him from the Spanish Government better terms than those offered by ESPARTERO. The notion of a continuation of the war was ridiculed. The National, on the authority of a letter from Constantinople of the 23d ult., states that the Quin tuple Alliance is at an end, Russia and Prussia having formally refused to act any longer in concert with France, England, and Austiia, in the settlement of the Eastern question. The same journal adds that Russia has addressed a remarkable report to the Four Powers, in which she exposes the inuti lity of a Congress, and refuses to assist at one, unless held at Constantinople. The Commerce states, in addition, that the Russian fleet in the Black Sea has received ;orders to sail immediately to Con stantinople. The young Sultan wishes the French and English fleets to winter in the sea of Marmora, but the measure is opposed by old KHOSREW PACHA. MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) HUNGERIMrgaKET.

We have received a Halifax paper of the 6th of August. THE BOUNDARY.—The following resolutions were lately passed at a Convention holden at Augusta, State of the Maine, on the subject of the North-east Boundary. They are very strong : Resolved—That our north-east boundary question is one of primary and all absorbing interest to our aeople, and while we highly approve the energetic measures resorted to by our State last winter to capture or drive off the ruth less band of English marauders who were plundering eur property, laying waste our public lands, and setting our laws at defiance, we cannot consent to stop where we now are. No, the line must be run. The meets and bounds must be established, and the British told—" Thus far shalt thou come, but no further." Resolved—That the recent attempt which is understood to have been made by Great Britain to involve the question in new difficulty, by proposing a survey under such circum stances and conditions as tend to render it morally impossi ble to settle the question, is in per!ect keeping with the procrastinating policy hitherto pursued by that Govern ment, and au insult to the United States and to Maine. Resolved—That unless this vexed question be, speedily settled by the Governments of the United States and Great Britain, it will become the imperative duty of the United States to extend their jurisdiction over the whole territory ; and if they fail to do so, Maine would be re. creant to her interest, her rights, and her honour, if she did not take the business into her own hands, and establish there her individual sovereignty, "peaceably if she can, forcibly if she must." We have received Buenos Ayres Papers to June 16 : " This day, 15th.linst. completes the 445th day of the blockade. " Treasury Bills in'circulation on the Ist inst., 4,419,600 dollars. E xc h ange -in England during the week 31 pence, the lowest 3i pence. The highest price of Doub loons 250 dollars. 'The weather during the week has been changeable and damp, the winter hitherto has been mild. " Black diamonds (coals) are scarce, thanks to the blockade ; this scarcity has as yet been little felt." We have received Montreal Papers one day later, to the 22d August. They are filled with English and French intelligence. By the overland mail from India, accounts have been received at Calcutta from China of May 6, by the Rob Roy, stating that until the final delivery of 20,283 chests of opium the sixteen British subjects who had been arrested at Canton were to be detained ; also that none of the ves. sets outside were to be admitted. Captain Elliot states that after this event it will be impracticable for any of his countrymen to remain there, and that he will stop all British vessels entering the river, in consequence of the protracted suspension of the trade, which must occur after the surrendering of the opium is completed. A deputation, consisting of Messrs. Inglis, Mathison, and Lindsay, are appointed to proceed to England. The lat ter has already left Canton, in order to enforce on the British Government at home the claims of owners of the opium thus surrendered. The abov e i n t e llig e nce immediately p ro d uced an in quiry for t ea , b ut , in consequence of the re f usa l of im porters to sell, exce pt a t much higher . prices, the transac tions were not extensive, but the business d one was at an advance upon la s t w eek's quotations. The above information was received at the North and South American Coffee House at a late hour in the after noon. THE FUNDS. Consols, which closed yesterday 904 i Money, and 91ali for the Account, opened at the above prices this morning. Exchequer Bills, 7, 9 prem. ; Bank Stock shut; for the opening, 186, 187; India Stock, 246 249; in India Bonds nothing done. In the Foreign market, Spanish Active continues the favourite. Speculation closed at 264 1-, and opened this morning at a further improvement.

John James, woodward to Lord Dynevor at his Pentyrch Woods, having drunk freely at the Porto Bello public house, near that place, on Sa turday last, ma d e a wager of a sovere i gn w i t h some one of the company, that h e wou ld c ross the River Taff th a t night, for the p urpose of going home . A t a l ate h our, the river being much swollen by the recent rains, he made the attempt on horseback, when himself and his horse were instantly carried off by the stream ; the horse gained the shore at some distance lower down, but the remains of the unfortunate rider have not yet been discovered. It is much to be regretted that any person should make a Wager inducing a man to attempt an enterprise, failure in which must inevitably be attended with loss of life. May the melancholy result of this unfortunate affair operate as a warning to others, and deter them from making such senseless wagers. Mr. James has left a widow and four children to deplore their loss.—Cambrian. COURT CIRCULAR.

The Queen Dowager left Kew in the afternoon for her residence in Bushy Park. On the 27th August, the Ratifications of a Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation, between the Sub- lime Porte and the Free Hanseatic Cities of Lubeck Bremen, and Hamburg, were exchanged in London by the Plenipotentiaries of the contracting parties, M. Agob and Mr. Colquhoun. The Treaty was concluded and signed on the 18th May, 1839, by his Excellency Rescind Pacha, and Mr. Colquhoun.

Her Grace, in passing, spent a day with her noble relative, the Duchess of Gor don, at Huntly Lodge—Ahcrdeen Herald. We hear that the Right Hon. Lord Denman, Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench, is about to reside for several months in the vicinity of Exeter.— Western Times. His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin, the Bishops of Down, Ferns, Cork, and Cloyne, are the four Irish re presentative Bishops for the ensuing Session of Parka ment.—Limeriek Chronicle. The Earl and Countess of Durham are still sojourning at Cowes, Lie of Wight, but we understand leave at the close of the month for La►nbton Castle, Durham. Count Alexis Stroganoff, who arrived in town, from Brighton, a few days since, has again taken his departure for that watering place. Count and Countess Taffe, after spending a few weeks in this country, left Nlivart's on Monday for Germany. Count Lubienski, who has been residing for several months in this capital, has taken his departure for Paris. The Earl of Dundonald embarks in a few days for America. The Countess and family intend to pass the winter in Paris. HON. E. M. L. MOSTYN, OF MOSTYN...—This gentleman sustained a severe accident on Monday last. He was superintending the felling of some timber on his estate, when one of the trees fell upon him and knocked him down ; the consequence was the fracture of his left thigh, just above the knee. He is going on as favourably as can be expected. Lieutenant-General Sir Richard Downes Jack son, an officer who was distinguished in the Peninsula, has had long experience in Staff command, and is of the true Wellington school, is appointed Commander of the Forces in all North America ; and we can safely declare that the selection is fortunate, for that officer will maintain the credit of the country and the British Army. Sir Richard Jackson takes with him, as Military Secretary, Lieutenant- Colonel Sir Charles O'Donnell, a high-minded soldier and intelligent man of business. Sir Charles re linquishes the appointment of Brigade-Major of the Nor thern District—a situation which he held under Sir Richard Jackson, and that officer's successor, Major- General Sir Charles Napier. Captain Brook Taylor and Ensign Warre, 54th, are appointed Aides-de-Camp to Sir Richard Jackson. —Naval and Military Gazette. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—On Thursday next The Lady of Lyons, Foreign Airs and Native Graces, and Single Life, will be performed at this house, being for the benefit of Mrs. Fitzwilliam, previous to her departure for America. Mrs. Fitzwilliam has long been a useful and a favourite actress at several of the metropolitan theatres, and we trust she will be as successful on Thursday night, as we have no doubt she will be when introduced to Brother Jonathan, who knows how to appreciate modest merit and genuine acting. The regret expressed at the resignation of Lord Howick, as Secretary-at• War, is nearly universal in the army. The ready attention and liberal consideration given by his Lordship to all claims referred to his department have rendered him exceedingly popular. The good conduct warrant, and the institution of a rotation system of relief, with a hundred minor improvements, will cause his Lordship's administration to be long remembered, and the valuable inquiries of Dr. Marshall and Major Tulloch, commenced under his Lordship's auspices, will form a last ing memorial to his zeal for the good of the army. —Naval and Military Gazette. TENDERS IN PAYMENT.—In a case, Kent v. Dean, tried at the Liverpool Assizes, on Thursday week, before Mr. Baron Maule, in which a tender of rent had been made by a woman putting the amount in cash upon a table, the Learned Baron said, " As to tenders, it is very strange that they arc so rarely made in a legal manner. One would think it a very easy thing to make a tender ; but it is one of the rarest things in the world to find a tender clearly proved. People commonly clog a tender with some condition, which makes it no tender in law. One man goes to another, and says, Here is your 141, ; but I must have a receipt in full of all demands.' A tender, to be good, must be an unconditional one, clogged with no sti pulation whatever; and certainly the tender made by this woman is as good a tender as I ever got out in evidence in my life." A correspondent writes from Athens on the 14th ult. to the Semaphore of Marseilles :—" Letters from Janina represent the population to be in a state of extreme inquietude. The soldiers, both regular and irregular, are deserting daily to such an extent, that a complete disso lution of the different corps is apprehended. Messengers were sent to Salonica urging the immediate return of Mus tapha Pasha to Janina, and on the Pasha's arrival some degree of confidence was restored. Several families, dreading an attack from the Albanians, had sent their effects into the fortress. A great many of the inhabitants of Previsa have endeavoured to leave the country and come to settle in Greece, but have been prevented by the Turkish authorities. This state of things is the conse quence of the intelligence received from Egypt and Con stantinople." NATIONAL CONVENTION. (THIS DAY.) The Convention met this day at ?levee o'ck;pk, Mr. 14' Rost iii the Chair. ?DE DEFENCE FUND. Mr. O'CONNOR reported from the Committee appointed to investigate the accounts of the Defence Fund, which he stated were in so complicated and slovenly a form, that they found the greatest dif f iculty in arriving at a true state ment of the matter. The money in several instances had been paid to persons now in prist,u, and from whom it was consequently impossible to obtain any information. The accounts sent in by others were without dates or particulars, and until there was a regular debtor and creditor account sent in by the different parties, the Committee thought it advisable to postpone any further report. . Dr. TAYLOR would merely confirm what bad been stated by Mr. O'Connor, but he believed Mr. Guest had a regular account of all the sums expended, and he thought it would be advisable to communicate with that gentleman on the subject. It was then arranged that the Committee should com municate with Mr. Guest as to the expenditure of the defence fund. ADJOURNMENT OF THE CONVENTION. Dr. TAYLOR moved the adjournment of the public sit tings of the Convention till Friday next. There were so many important Committees now sitting, whose duty it would be to report upon questions of interest, that they could not attend to these matters unless more time was afforded them for that purpose. Mr. O'CONNOR seconded the motion. He thought it would put an cud to many of the squabbles and discussions which had taken place in the Convention, and it would greatly facilitate business, instead of retarding it. Mr. SAmss TAYLOR said it would be of importance to decide what was to be done with regard to the balance of national rent in the hands of the Convention. Mr. PITKEITHLEY suggested the propriety of adjourn. ing till eight o'clock at night, by which time the Finance Committee would be enabled to present its report. The CHAIRMAN said perhaps the better way would be to read over the notices of motion, and they would endeavour to dispose of the whole of them to-day. By that means they would be enabled to devote the whole of to-morrow to the business of the Committeee.—( Hear, hear.) The notices of motion were then. read over. The flrst was one by Mr. Wolstenholme to have the Declaration of Rights, drawn up by Mr. Schroeder, circu lated and signed by the working classes. There was no seconder, and the motion fell to the ground, STANDING COMMITTEE. Mr. JACKSON then, pursuant to notice, moved the ap pointment of a Committee or Council to remain in London after the dissolution of the Convention. The CHAIRMAN did not think be would be justified in putting such a resolution. Dr. TAYLOR—May I ask why? The CHAIRMAN—Because the Convention has passed a resolution to dissolve on the 14th. Its power then ceases, and you now bring forward a motion, the object of which is to perpetuate its existence. Ido not think we can en ortain any such motion.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. O'CoNtion was formerly in favour of a Council, but tempora mutantur.—(A laugh.) He should certainly ob• ject to the motion. After some further discussion the CHAIRMAN inquired if any one seconded the motion ; but there being no seconder, the motion fell to the ground. GRANT TO THE SECRETARY. Mr. CARPENTER said it had been usual to make a grant of money to their Secretary, and he now moved that the question of a sum of money as a remuneration to the Se cretary, Mr. Smart, be referred to the Finance Committee. —Agreed to. The Conventinn then adjounied till to-morrow morning at eleven o'clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALCS-YESTERDAY. ST. LEGER-TUESDAY. Since our last report of the betting on this race, Scott's fa vourite, Charles the Twelfth, has continued to advance in favour; 2 to 1 was taken in the early part of the afternoon, and towards the close 200 to 110 in good quarters. The quota tions a,2,st Bloomsbury were also subjected to a material change —3 to 1 was offered currently at the commencement of busi ness, and 11 to 4 laid agst him with Hetman Platoff thrown in. His friends, however, rallied as the afternoon advanced, and re duced the " price current" to sto 2. Euclid had several friends at 12 to 1, and Bolus and Hyllus at 30 to I. The Commodore, reported to be lame, was nominally at 30 to I ; his actual price, we should imagine, is much greater : 40 to I was laid three or four times agst Hetman Platoff, and offered up to the close. The Corsair, Sleight-of-Hand, The Lord Mayor, and the Dey of Algiers were friendless. Closing prices : 200 to 10 agst Charles the Twelfth—taken 5 to 2 agst Bloomsbury—take 3 to 1 12 to 1 agst Euclid—taken 20 to 1 agst The Provost—taken and afterwards offered 30 to 1 agst Hyllus—taken 30 to 1 agst Bolus—taken 3n to 1 agst The Commodore—offered 35 to 1 agst Easingwold—taken and afterwards offered 35 to I agst The Corsair—offered 40 to 1 agst Hetman Platoff—taken and afterwards offered 1000 to 10 agst Sleight of Hand--taken 2000 to 5 agst The Mountaineer—offered 6 to 4 on two agst the field DONCASTER CUP. 100 to 50 agst Charles the Twelfth—taken THE DERBY. 25 to 1 agst Launcelot—taken 30 to 1 agst Molyneux—taken WESTERN MEETING AT AYR.—(CoscLunEo.

The sixth annual contest for a purse of sovereign.; and other prizes, given by the inhabitants of St. John's, Lam beth, took place yesterday, and was in every way worthy of Oe encouragement bestowed on it. The competitors were six free watermen, plying at the Surrey side of Waterloo Bridge ; and the conditions of the wager were three heats, the first heat consisting of three boats, and the second a like number, and the two first of each of these being entitled to row in the third and grand heat. The weather was very fine, and there was a good sprinkling of boats out with company to witness the match. At half past three the following were placed for the first heat : Jacob Hamblin, pink; William Easton, white; and Charles Collier, green. The distance in this arid in the second heat was to start from Waterloo Bridge, up round Mauds• lay's roads, down round Cory's roads, off the Old Barge House, up again to Maudslay's, and down to Waterloo Bridge to finish. Pink and white went off together, and maintained the two leading stations, coming in as winners of the heat. Immediately after William Creed, yellow ; Robert Bar row, jun., blue ; and William Rayden, stripe, came to their places for the second heat. This was well rowed and was won by yellow and blue. The men took some refresh ment, and at six o'clock the boats began to row towards the starting place. The distance in this heat differed from the foregoing ones, and was from Waterloo Bridge, down round Dickens's roads, up round Maudslay's roads, arid down to Waterloo Bridge. Pink, white, yellow, and blue as the winners of the preceding heats, came to the bridge for the final struggle. They all went away together, and after a few strokes yellow and blue were scull and scull in advance of the others, and gaining in each succeeding stroke. In rounding the first distance these two fouled, and pink went by them in gallant style ; he maintained the advantage, and won by a few lengths. Blue was second, yellow third. Count Portalis has returned to town from a visit to the tournament at Eglinton Castle, Ayrshire. The Marquis and Marchioness of Thomond have arrived at Tunbridge Wells, from Brighton, for the autumn. Lord and Lady Stanley, of Alderley, accompa nied by the Hon. Miss Stanley, arrived at Pcnrhos, their seat in North Wales, last week, from Alderley Park, near Knutsford.
