V the abundance of unemployed capital in France at this mo ment, that circumstances much more seriously affecting her public credit than the mere possibility of the ulti mate partition of Belgium must occur to diminish the chances which Baron Louis has of obtaining a higher price for his uew renter, than the minimum upon which he may have fixed. The increase of cholera cases which has taken place here within the last fortnight, Las become a matter of no small anxiety, and has very naturally given rise to a good deal of inquiry respecting its cause. There is every reaso❑ to be. lieve that it has arisen from the immoderate use which is made of fruit since the hot weather has set in, as well as ice-creams and equally cold beverages. The best physi cians here recommend brandy and water as an ordinary beverage, the former to he in the proportion of a table spoonful to a common-sized tumbler of the latter. The disease has again shown no respect or distinction with re gard to different classes of society. Four o'Clock, p. m. Since writing what precedes, I hive been to the Place de la Bastille. I rode to it along the quays, and returned the whole way by the Boulevards up to the Boulevard des Italiens, although forming about an hour's drive. The most perfect tranquillity everywhere prevails. At the Place de la Bastille itself there was no planting of "trees of liberty" going on, nor were any more persons to be seen than on other ordinary days. I am informed by a person who has just returned from the Place Louis XV. that the same tranquil aspect prevails in that part of the town. Z. P.S. A report has been current at the Bourse, towards the close of business, that the English Ministers were left in a minority on Thursday on the question of the Russian loan. This report immediately occasioned a trifling de cline in the prices of the French funds.

The Duchess of St. Alban's establishment is thrown into consternation by the fact of the head cook, who officiated at her Grace's recent parties, having died since, after a few hours' illness, of cholera. We have received, from an authentic source, some confirmation respecting the insurrection in Lithuania. A partisan war against the Russians is going on with great activity in all the forests. In the forest of Swieto kryz a detachment of Cossacks was entirely cut to pieces by the insurgents. Rsge sad despair (says our corres pondent) are in every heart, and the Russians display the most atrocious barbarity. They have installed Commis sioners in Lithuania to value and confiscate the property of individuals who took no part in the Polish revolution, and to apportion to them an equivalent in Ruesia. Al ready 30,000 Polish peasants have been sent into the in terior of Russia, and are replaced by an equal number of Russian boors. The Emperor ISTlcnoLas has declared that he will make a Poland of Siberia, and a Siberia of Poland. The Member of the Diet, Montt/ism, and another, whose name is not mentioned, who bad been released from a long imprisonment upon condition of a dishonourable declaration, and who had rejected the terms of their liberation, were again confined, and died in prison at the end of four days. The Russians apprehend a new revolution at Warsaw, and every night strong patrols fo lowed by artillery, scour the streets. O'CONNELL REPEAL BUTTONS.— We have seen some buttons which are very beautiful specimens of Irish manufacture. The buttons are impressed with a very good likness of Mr. O'CoNNELL, and the words "Repeal of the Union" and " DANIEL O'CONNELL," are Imprinted on one side, while on the reverse one, the words " Ireland as she ought to be." At the dinner about to be given to M. COSTELLO, Esq., by the members of the Trades Union, it is intended, we understand, that all these belonging to that body, and others who are anxious for re peal, should wear these buttons. Mr. KANE has deter mined to sell these national buttons as cheap as common buttons can be purchased.—Dublin Morning Register. THE WOOL TRADE. —.A good deal of inte rest was excited among the parties engaged in the woo trade during the close of last week, at the various sales of a great variety of wools, the produce principally of our colo nies. The attendance from the manufacturing districts was, however, not so ❑umerous as on some previous simi lar occasions. In the whole 2,350 bales were announced for sale—consisting of 1,560 bales of Van Diemen's Land and New South Wales wools, 576 bales of Portugal wools, 90 bales of German and other wools, and 46 bales of Cape Wools. The first sales were not well attended, but the biddings were pretty active. Lower qualities of Van Die men's Land sold at Sd. to Is. per lb., and rather better qualities Is. to Is. sd. per lb. ; some parcels sold at Is. Bd. per lb. The German wools obtained from Is. to Is. bid. per lb. The sale which took place on Friday afternoon was much better attended, and more anxiety Was displayed to purchase by the trade. Van Diemen's and New South Wales wools sold full 2d. to 3d. per lb. in advance, some superior qualities obtaining Is. Bd. to I'. 10d. per lb. The Spanish wools realized from Is. 4d. to Is. 7d. per lb., and Cape wools, improved and washed, 18. Id. to Is. Sd. per lb. Some new wools from South America, a sample of the places in that direction, were sold at 3d. per lb. only; the wool was in the grease, and very ordinary in quality. The prices obtained towards the conclusion of these sales rendered the market firm, as on the whole the wools went off well. SUPPOSED MURDER.—For the last three days, Mr. STIRLING, the Coroner, and a respectable Jury, have been engaged at the Man in the Moon, Vine.street, Piccadilly, in investigating the circumstances attending the death of CATHERINE KNIGHT, aged forty, alleged to have died from injuries inflicted by THOMAS WHITFIELD, a tailor, residing at 1, Vine-street. The deceased coha bited with WHITFIELD, and although he kept two appren tices, and worked hard at his business, they were in the constant habit of getting intoxicated ; and on one occasion they actually drank two quarts of gin. WHITFIELD fre quently beat deceased, and last Friday morning, at twelve, she was heard to scream, and exclaim in the bad-room— "Do not beat me any more, you have half-killed me already." On Monday she appeared very unwell, and she told one of the apprentices that she had been beaten by her husband with a stick on Saturday night, and that her arm was much hurt against the bed •post. On Tuesday she was in liquor, and she said her arm was getting worse, and more swollen ; she then said that she had hurt it by falling out of bed. WHITFIELD was intoxicated, and one of the apprentices accompanied her, on Tuesday evening, to Mr. WALKER'S, the surgeon, in Eagle-street, Piccadilly. Her arm was twice the size of the other arm, and inflammation had gone on to a great extent. On Wednesday WHIT. FIELD called one of the apprentices into the bed-room ; the deceased was lying across the bed, and " a noise like a gurgling issued from her throat." The deceased died shortly after ; WurrsaiLn seemed much affected, and knelt down by the bedside, and exclaimed, " Oh, Kirtl, KITTY, do speak to me; fur Gon's sake do." Verdict— " That the deceased died front erysipelatous inflammation of the right arm, produced by external violence; but when, how, or by what means, there is no evidence ; and that her death was accelerated by the excessive use of ardent spirits." BIRD NESTING EXTRAORDINARY.—We have often heard of birds choosing singular places for building their nests, but of none more singular than that we are about to record. A coal vessel from Newcastle, or some place in that neighbourhood, having lately been in Nairn, two sparrows were frequently observed to light on the t op of the vessel mast. The circumstance occa sioned n o great surprise to the crew while the vessel re mained in the harbour ; but after being several hours at sea they were much astonished at seeing the two creatures following the sloop. After being exhausted with flying, they perched themselves on the top of the mast. Crumbs of bread were thrown on the deck with the view of allur ing them down ; but they resisted the temptation for a considerable time. Pressed with hunger, they at last de scended to the deck, and eat up with avidity, and we may add, without any molestation being offered them, the fragment that were scattered before them. Having eat a hearty meal, the feathered voyagers returned to their elevated station at the top-mast. It is a well known pro verb that old sparrows are ill to tame. The maxim holds good enough as a general rule. In the present case there was an exception, caused, no doubt, by the equally well known adage, that necessity has no law. Yielding to the force of,circumstances, the sparrows were either tamed, or made to appear so. By the time the vessel was two days at sea, they descended from their high altitude once on an average every three hours, when, after partaking of some food, they regularly returned to their elevated quarters. Matters proceeded in this way during the voyage—which was a lung on e — t h e crew a ll t h e w hil e b eing alikeigno rant of what had attracted them in the first instance to the vessel, and of what could have induced them to put to sea. On reaching the river Tyne the matter was ex plained. A nest, with f our young ones i n i t, was dis covered at the top -mast. Th e nest, w i t h it s y o ung in mates, was taken down by the sailors, and being put, in the presence of the old birds, into a crevice of an old house on the banks of the river, the unfledged creatures were left to parental care, which they doubtless received.-- Elgin Courier. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1832. His MAJESTY will arrive in town to• morrow, from Windsor, and will hold a Levee, Wednes day being appointed for the funeral of the Princess LOUISE. After the Levee the RE CORDER'S Report will be made. It was to have been made on the last occasion, but owing to the press of matter before the Privy Council it was deferred. The Duke of RicxmoND had an interview this forenoon with Lord GODERICII at the Co lonial-office. ARRIVAL OF DON PEDRO AT OPORTO. The accounts from Portugal are of the greatest importance. The first blow has been struck ; the first prolincial city in the kingdom has surrendered. Don PEDRO is now actually in Portugal, and Don MIGUEL will, we hope, very shortly be out of it. It was on the Bth inst. (Sunday) that the invading constitu tional forces arrived at Oporto, and came to off the bar. The next morning the troops, con sisting of 7,500, of which about 460 are said to be English, and the same number French, landed in excellent order, and without the slightest opposition, at Mettosinhoes, a vil lage on the north side of the Douro. Some of MIGUEL'S cavalry at first affected a show of opposition ; but it was a mere feint, for they did not even venture near enough to fire, but suddenly wheeled round and retreated. After the landing had been effected, DON PEDRO'S troops made straight for Oporto, which was almost immediately abandoned by the Go vernor and troops of Don MIGUEL, as well as the police, who escaped over the bridge across the Douro, to Villa Nova. Here, after having partially destroyed the bridge, they managed for a time to give considerable annoyance to Don PEDRO'S forces ; but being checked by the advance of 3,000 men, who were landed from the small ves sels at Villa Nova, under cover of the guns of the steamers, they again fled, after one or two partial skirmishes, into the interior. It i s said—but the fact is not yet authenticated— that during these skirmishes one of Don Ms- GUEL'S regiments of the line shouted and threw up their caps for Donna MARIA, but that they were immediately hemmed in by the other troops, and nearly cut to pieces. Having got " thus far into the bowels of the land," it is supposed that Don PEDRO will lose no time, but instantly prepare for a march on Lis bon. All the reports agree in one point,viz., that he will receive lots of adherents on his road. Several officers and soldiers have already joined his standard, and the ninth, twelfth, and twenty second regiments only wait a fitting opportunity to follow the same example. The squadron of Donna MARIA, will, it is believed, sail for Lisbon immediately, so that in a few days the fate of that city, the last strong-hold of the Usurper, may be calcu lated on. The above must be glorious intelligence for the Portuguese, who, for the last three years, have been ground to the earth by the oppressive exactions and cruelties of MIGUEL. In fact, this " monster" has taken a leaf out of the book of Northern Legitimacy, and treated his subjects as if they had been Poles. Africa has received as many fresh importations from MIGUEL as Siberia from NICHOLAS. The former, it seems, has declared all the sea ports of Portugal in a state of siege, w hi c h not a little increased the apprehensions of the English residents. One would suppose at such a juncture that Don MIGUEL, finding that a system of terrorism had been of no prac tical Lenefit to his fortunes, would have tried, what JONES calls, " the soothing system ;" but no, he is Absolutist to the last. One of his latest freaks has been practised on Mr. DUFF, a respectable English merchant, whose house, on some frivolous pretence or other, he ordered to be forcibly entered and searched by his myrmidons, on the authority of a mandate signed by himself. This outrage has, of course, drawn forth a spirited remonstrance from the re sident English merchants at Lisbon to Lord RUSSELL and Mr. HOPPNER, the result of which is not yet known. All at present is quiet at Lisbon, where, how ever, the arrival of the Liberator is looked for with intense anxiety. A few days, possibly a few hours, will decide the destiny of Don MIGUEL. (From the Second Edition of the Falmouth Packet.) IMPORTANT NEWS FROM PORTUGAL. LANDING OF DON PEDRO. The Firebrand steamer, Lieut. BA LDOCK, arrived here at nine o'clock this morning from Lisbon, whence she sailed on the evening of Monday last, at which moment a telegraphic communication announced the landing of Don PEDRO'S forces at Matozinhos, three miles north of Oporto. In consequence of this infor mation, the Firebrand proceeded to Oporto, and at midnight, on the 10th instant, she was in the midst of Don PEDRO'S squadron, lying at anchor off the Bar, and was immediately visited by some officers from the Donna Maria fri gate, who communicated that the fleet had ar rived off the coast on Sunday evening, and that the landing of the troops was effected on Mon day at Matozinhos, in good order, there being no opposition. Some of MiouEL's cavalry were seen at a short distance, but after holding a parley among themselves, they retired. Don PEDRO'S forces consisted of 7,800 men, in cluding about 460 Englishmen, and about the same number of Frenchmen. H.M.S. Stag, Sir T. TROUBRIDGE, saluted Don PEDRO on landing. Don PEDRO immediately marched his troops to Oporto, which he entered without experiencing any resistance, the Governor and the garrison having retreated across the Douro, to Villa Nova, from whence they a good deal annoyed Don PEDRO and his forces. It was accordingly resolved to cross the river, and drive them from their position, which was effected on the evening of the 10th, by 3,000 of Don PEDRO'S troops, who made good their landing under cover of the steam-vessels belonging to the squadron. Don MiouEL's troops, however, did not retire with out displaying their attachment to their master by defending themselves in a determined manner, and on one regiment declaring in favour of Don PEDRO, by throwing up their caps and shouting " Viva DONNA MA RI A !" they were surrounded by the other troops of the garrison, and nearly all cut to pieces ! Several officers and privates, however, had deserted the standard of the Usurper, and joined Don PEDRO, but no body of men had come over to the young QUEEN'S side. Don PEDRO'S head-quarters were fixed at Oporto, the inhabitants of which city, it was ex pected, would espouse the cause of the young QUEEN, and voluntarily arm themselves. The landing at Oporto was a masterly and well•timed movement, as it was almost impos sible for Don PEDRO'S fleet, many of them small unarmed merchant vessels, to force the passage of the Tagus, for the guns of St. Julian are in particular good order, and the men have been well trained by firing at a mark. MIGUEL'S troops at Lisbon were strengthening and build ing batteries and outworks both above and below Lisbon, which are now perfectly useless, as far as respects the opposing of Don PEDRO, who will enter Lisbon by the Oporto road. Don PEDRO'S exertions prior to leaving the Western Islands are spoken of as highly active and meritorious, and his decision and prompti tude since his landing shows that he will leave nothing undone to regain the crown of Portugal for his daughter. We learn also that in Lisbon and many other parts of Portugal, particularly Coimbra, very many will join Don PEDRO, who is now, we doubt not, in full march for Lisbon. DON PEDR O'S PROCLAMATION to the ARMY, on its ARRIVAL off OP ORT O. Soldiers! —Those are the shores of ill-fated Portugal ; there your fathers, sons, wives, and friends await your arrival, and confide on your courage and generosity. Yuu bring peace to a whole nation, and only war to the hypo critical and despotic government of a usurper. The enter prise is one of glory; the cause is noble, and the victory certain. Your companions i❑ arms will join your ranks, and will be ambitious of the honour of fighting by your side; if there be any, who, forgetting his duty, may con tinue to defend the cause of despotism ; remember, that you have before you the same deluded Portuguese who, at Villa da Praia, fled before your courage. Conquerors of St. Michael and St. George, whose enthusiasm and valour could not be extinguished by the combats of Villa das Fellas, Ursellina, and Calheta, nor by the impregnable positions of Ladeira and da Velha! there you have your native country that calls you ; there you will find the re wards of your services, an end to your sufferings, and the completion of your glory ! Soldiers! Let your cry he— " Viva Senhora Donna Maria H. and the Constitutional Charter—protection to the unarmed—generosity to the vanquished. " DON PEDRO, Duke of Braganza." We understand, from very high authority, that the retreat of Don Miguel's troops was in accordance with orders previously received from Lisbon ; it being the object of Don Miguel not to risk an action without the certainty of victory, and so crush the invading army at a single blow. The Firebrand c ommunicated with his Majesty's ship Stag, off Oporto, and found lying at anchor his Majesty's s hips Nautilus, Royalist, and Pantaloon. Lieutenant King and Mr. Smith came passengers in the Firebrand. His Majesty's steam-vessel Firebrand, Lieut. T. Baldock, left Falmouth on Monday, the 2d inst.. at ten o'clock in the forenoon. On the 6th, being four days and six hours, she communi cated with our squadron, and delivered dis patches to the Admiral ; after remaining at Lisbon under quarantine till eight o'clock in the evening of the 9th, she again steered for Eng land, communicating again with our squadron off Lisbon, for return dispatches, and arrived here at nine o'clock this morning, which is five days and twelve hours on the home passage. We take a pleasure in stating these particulars, as they show the wonderful perfection of the steam engine, for this vessel has traversed within the last four months two voyages to Corfu, and one to Lisbon, a distadce of 11,500 miles, which gives for the number of days 66 ; she steamed an average of 174 miles per day. German Papers state that the cholera has made its appearance at Toplitz, near Dresden. Forty deaths have already occurred there : DRKSDEN, JUNE 6.—lt has been found impossible any longer to suppress the fact of the cholera having appeared at the neighiinuring watering place Toplitz, where its presence has bee❑ clearly indicated for the last fortnight, but has been carefully concealed till forty new graves have incontrovertibly proved its existence. Our Cholera Board yesterday gave official notice of the breaking out of the disorder, which was fully ascertained by competent persons sent for the purpose; it also gave notice that the quaran tine establishment, which has long subsisted at Helms dorff, will be assigned according to the existing regulations for persons coming from Toplitz. However, as the dis order has not appeared any where else, every possible faci lity is promised to those who have been to take the waters, and among other regulations, that their stay in a place proved to be entirely free from suspicion, for instance, at the frontier town of Peterswaid, shall be reckoned as part of the five days quarantine which they have to perform. Toplitz suffers severely, but the family of Prince Radziwill remains, and the people still flatter themselves that the dis order will s peedily disappear, and perhaps only delay a little the expected arrival of the King of Prussia. Carlsbad, Marienbad, And Franzenhad are crowded with company, because these places and the country for several leagues round are free from the disorder. VIENNA.—An Austrian Observer prefixes the follow ing remarks to two articles from the Journal des Debate and Journal de Paris. The reading of the Journals affords materials for singular contrasts. The evil which hovers over human society is a general evil—every where it manifests itself in a greater or less degree, in proportion as the internal situation of the several states, and the ereater or less susceptibility of the people, favour its entrance and developement. What formerly was only proposed in ob scurity now shows itself openly ; this is the characteristic feature of our times. The struggle between the par ties has changed, not in its essence, but in its form. Journals which lately alleged and advocated the conditions which inevitably lead to revolutions as the only true bulwarks of the tranquillity and happi ness of States, now acknowledge that these conditions are the source of the overthrow of society. The two days of June, and the meeting at Hambach, have done more in this respect than years of controversy. The attempts made both here and there have turned out badly ; the chiefs and leaders of the radical faction in all countries are sensible of this fact ; and if the more prudent among them now endeavour to cool the heat of the attempt, their en deavours avail little, for the eyes of the great mass of the people are opened, and they repel, with disgust, the weak ness which is now evident. VIENNA, JULY s.—Five per Cents., 86k; Four per Cents., 761; Bank Shares, 1126.—Allgemeine Zeitung, July 10, We announced in our second edition of Sa turday, the verdict of the jury, finding Miss BAGSTER of unsound mind since the first of November, 1830. We neither wish to impugn the verdict of the jury, nor the talent nor discretion of the Counsel or Commissioners ; but we can not refrain from expressing our regret that such cases should be submitted to such a tribunal. In all cases of nzezon and tuum, where property only is concerned—aye, even a mere fraction of a man's property—a Judge of the land presides' and we often have occasion to admire the temper and learning with which the law is then ex pounded ; but in a case of alleged lunacy, when not merely a fraction, but the entirety of a man's estate, and his personal liberty to boot, are at stake, generally for life, —and, too frequently, under circumstances revolting to humanity, it is consigned to an in ferior tribunal! Somehow or other, it usually happens that the time and expense consumed in one of these inquiries is proportioned to the estate of the alleged lunatic. By inquisitions held in pot-houses, humble individuals have often been consigned to the misery of a mad house within an hour (and we believe are often sent there without the form of an inqiury) ; but when any considerable property is the subject of contest, and a Commission of Lunacy is gene rally a struggle for property, it lasts for days, and often for weeks. In the case of BENNETT, a lunatic, before the LORD CHANCELLOR, on Saturday, it appeared that the costs of opposing the lunacy were 1,2001. or 1,400/. It affords us some degree of satisfaction, how ever, that the evils of the system have at length attracted a degree of attention that can scarcely fail to lead to its reformation and amendment. Sir E. B. SUGHEN on Saturday designated it as " a nuisance, and a scandal to the country," and the LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that " the practice had become intolerable." The tithe question, after the Reform Bill is settled, is now the most momentous subject for the decision of the Legislature. The evils of the system are so bad, and they have been allowed to exist so long in opposition to universal feel ing, that no one need wonder at the strong excite ment which now prevails. Strong as is the feel ing however here, it is nothing to that prevail ing in Treland. In England every parish con tains a great majority of Protestants, and how ever annoying the col;,‘ction of tithes might be to the farmer, the body of the people, know ing that these tithes are for the pay ment of their own Clergymen generally, submit quietly to the exaction. In Ireland the case is totally different. In the north there is a vast number of Presbyterians and other Protes tant dissenters; in the south all are Catholics, and as persons of that sect generally are under the influence of their Clergy, who hate the Protestant Clergy with a perfect hatred, one may easily believe that their reluctance to pay the tithes has hitherto been overcome only by the dread of force. That fear, however, is now at an end, and never will be revived, for the best of all reasons, because public opinion, not only in Ireland, but in this country, is utterly opposed to a system which counsels the people to pay tithes to a Clergy who have no flocks. Public opinion is power, and generally so obsti nate and determined that no military power can prevail against it. It is the duty of Govern ment, then, not to oppose it, but to take the most rational means to guide it into a proper channel. It can, in fact, be changed only by justice and reason, and these Government ought to take as their guides on this alarming occasion. The two great evils are the annoyance of the mode of payment, and the payment of tithes to Clergymen who are either absent or who perform no duty. Let Government, then, act on the principle, not only that tithes are abolished, but that no Clergyman, who shall be appointed hereafter, shall receive any provision from the land unless he resides in his pa rish, and has a certain proportion of Pro testants under his care. Let a suitable income be provided for both Catholic and Presbyterian Clergymen wherever their hearers amount to a certain number, and we venture to predict that little difficulty will be found in raising the ne cessary funds from the land. We say from the land, because by the original contract, both of the landlord and the tenant, the tithes can belong to neither. The tenant took his lease on the condition of paying titles, and the landlord bought the land, or had it devised to hin with a clear understanding that the tithe: were not his property. For either of these parties to refuse to pay an equivalent because the former system was bad, would be as justifiable as for a villain to take advantage of the circumstances of his creditor to refuse to pay a just debt. To whomsoever the tithes belong, we believe even the most determined hater of the , system could not conscientiously ueciare that the landowner had the least claim to them.— They were originally set apart for the mainte nance of the Catholic Church—they were after wards transferred by the Legislature to the Pro testant Church. When circumstances require a change, there cannot be a shadow of reason for saying that the Legislature has not the power of adopting it. The system adopted in Ireland is not only contrary to the principles of all other Governments, but contrary to those of England herself. The Legislature transferred the tithes to the Protestant Church in England when Pro testants became the more numerous party. In Scotland it transferred the tithes to the Presby terians from the Episcopalian, for the same reason ; but in Ireland it adopted a course the very reverse, and in its nature subversive of order and obedience to the laws. It gave the whole incomes of a church, the richest in the world, to a party who did not form a tenth part of the inhabitants, and left the predominant clergy to brood over their wrongs, and live in great poverty, or wring a subsistence from a half starved population. These were not the leaders likely, by their example or precept, to repress any tumults against a Government that treated them with such unjust partiality. In fact, these are the men who now direct the anti-tithe engine agairist the existing laws of the country. The present Parliament is too far advanced to adopt any but mere temporary measures ; but a new Parliament will go at once to the root of the evil, and, we trust, make an adjustment acceptable to all par ties. That might be done without any great difficulty, by at once abolishing tithes for ever, by taking an average valuation of tithes for the last seven or fourteen years, and making these payable by the landowner, and by making a suitable provision out of them for the clergy of the three chief denominations, the Legislature reserving the surplus for the esta blishment of parochial schools or the relief of the helpless poor. No man of an honest and humane mind could reasonably oppose such a change. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) PRICES OF STOCKS THIS Rank Stock 3 per Cent. Red. 3 per Cent.Cens. 8 3%% 3i4 por Cent.

In the course of last week the arrivals of most kinds of Grain were tolerably good for the time of year, and there was a consi derable return of Flour, which kept the trade dull throughout the week. This morning the fresh supply of Wheat is small, and the trade has been so very heavy, that this article may be quoted rather cheaper. Barley, Beans, and Pease, are without variation. Oats maintain the terms of this day se'nnight, with a fair trade for tine samples. In the Flour trade no variation. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) -s. -s.

The Honourable Member for Preston arrived at Alanchester on Saturday, and harangued the Huntitee, on his usual topics, and in his usual style, on the far famed field of Peterloo. The acceleration of the London mail to Glas gow will now be carried into effect very speedily. A very fast pair-horse coach is to be established between Carlisle and Glasgow for that purpose. It is to travel on the present line of road, and to carry only four inside passengers, with coachman and guard, —kivertiess Courier. Cl_ .7'., ,, VICE-CHAN`CP,R,Y COURT.--(T S DAY.) -4.- ATTOItiiEr r Iif f NERAL V. CILYIN. Mr. BETHEL stated atit i iliirs:tiaitcaute before the Court on the petition of the Dean and Chapter of Christ Churcl,, Oxford. The facts were shortly these: in the year 1775 s person of the name of Lee, residing at Upper Layton, in the county of Essex, devised certain estates to the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church, Ox ford, for the purpose of founding an anatomical school in the Cllege. The professor was to have a , alary of 1001. a year, and was to deliver lectures on Ana -rimy at certain periods. The founder also directed that 40/. a year should be expended in procuring anatomica preparations and two human adult bodies for the purposes of dissection, which were to be procured by the Pro essor, under the penalty of sacrificing a large por 'ion of his salary. By an Order of the Court, the salary if the professor was increased to 150/. a year, and the 'um to be expended in procuring bodies and preparations co 801. a year. Dr. Kidd, the present professor, con -inued duly to deliver the lectures, but according 'o the law, as it at present stood, not being able to procure bodies for the purposes of dissection without great 'egal responsibility, he had used in their stead wax figures, vhich the Learned Counsel observed were now very gene rally in use, and which he should think would answer every purpose in an enlightened place like Oxford. This, oowever, not being in accordance with the will of the rounder, it became necessary, for the indemnity of the Dean and Chapter of Christchurch, to have a de claration of the Court, justifying them in conti oiling the payments to the Professor; and the pre sent petition was for the purpose of procuring that declaration. Provision also was made in the gift of the founder for the salary of a demonstrator, but as the oat of wax bodies had superseded his duties, the petition prayed for the discontinuance of that salary. His HoNouit thought the application an exceedingly proper one, and made the declaration asked by the petition. LONDON SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) These adjourned sessions were held this morning helot e the Lord Mayor, Recorder, and Aldermen Sir P. Laurie and Kelly. There were only seven cases for trial, ill of which were for assaults. Charles Pember was found Guilty of an assault, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment. Joseph Arnold was indicted for assaulting a poor wo man named Morgan. The parties lived neighbours toge ther, and on the day named in the indictment, the 2d of June, the defendant in the most brutal manner, anti with tut any provocation whatever, struck the prosecutrix a violent blow, and knocked her down, which occasioned a severe wound in the head. The Jury found him Guilty, and the Reccrder ser tenced him to two months' imprisonment. Henry Levy, a well dressed person, was indicted for assaulting Thomas Francis Brown, an officer, while in the execution of his duty. Brown stated, that on the night of the 23d of June, while on duty in High-street, Aldgate, he heard a cry of " stop thief," and on turning round he saw the defendant pursued by another person. He stopped the defendant, who was the❑ given into his custody, but in taking him towards the watch-house the defendant repeatedly kicked him in a very dangerous part, and other persons came up, no doubt the defendant's companions, and made a desperate attempt to rescue him, in which they would have suc ceeded had not several officers come to Brown's assistance. Brown was so injured that he was fifteen days under the care of the police surgeon, whose certificate he produced. The defendant said he had done no harm, and had no right to be stopped. He admitted having kicked the officer to endeavour to get away. He attributed his being taken into custody to Brown's having known that he once had the misfortune to be transported. It appeared, on enquiry, that the defendant had only returned about a month from serving a period of seven years' transportation. Sir PETER LAURIE remarked that he never knew a returned tr.insport become a useful member of society. The RECORDER said it was perfectly clear that the de fendant was going on in his old course. He sentenced him to one year's hard labour. The officer said he found two handkerchiefs on the prisoner, which he could give ao proper account of. They had not been owned. The RECORDSR ordered them to be delivered to the Sheriff. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

Buenos Ayrea papers to the 15th April, and Halifax to the 19th June, have been received at the North and South American Coffee House. The Buenos Ayres papers state, that there is little of domestic news to communicate. Peace prevails in every part of the Argentine Republic. A proclamation ha@ been issued by the Governor of the Province of Tucuman to its inhabitants, and the treaty between the provinces of Santiugo del Estro and that of Tucuman. A portion of the garrison of the island of nartin G ircia had been in a state of mutiny, but the plot was di-covered, and the ringleaders arrested, and sent to Buenos Ay res. At length Do❑ Pedro and his army have made good their landing near Oporto, which town he soon got pos session off without opposition ; hut on the army proceed ing on the road towards Lisbon, contrary to expectation, they met with a strong opposition from Don Miguel's forces, which opposed Don Pedro during the whole of Monday ; the obstinate resistance, as well as no body of Don Mi. goers troops deserting to Don Pedro, is looked upon in the city rather unfavourable to the cause of the invading army, and it is expected that on the approach of Don Pedro's troops to the capital they will meet with a severe resistance, as Dun Miguel has a powerful force. Every arrival from that quarter will now be of the greatest interest. Consols opened at the same price they left off on Satur day 84i y, at which price they are at prisent. The Estafette from Paris is of minor importance. HALF.PAST ONE. By our private accounts received this morning from Trieste, it is stated that there are two arrivals from Alex ,ndria, one of which was a brig of war of the Egyptian Government, bringing the certainty that St. Jean d'Acre fell into the hands of the Egyptians on the 25th of May. The Pasha of Egypt will therefore be secure for anoth,r year, or until the Ottoman fleet is stronger. Consols have been, during the whole of the morning, at 641 for the account, with little or nothing doing. It is settling day in the Foreign Market; all going otl well.
