issues of Bank. notes that ate n-w in circulation very con siderably; and then I w rec,:nmend the re-issuiug of I/. notes, and for Bank of England notes to be made a leg-I render from all persons hut the Bank of England itself. With regard to the issue of country bank-notes, would you permit them as at present?—My opinion is, that country bank-notes are the most important and the most useful instruments of circulation that exist; and upon this subject, I hare a short paper, which I sent to Lord Liver pool upon the 2.2.1 of November, 1525 ; it is I pon the sulti , ct of the I/. notes that were then in circulation. You stated, that yru wish to make B.nk of Enghtnel notes a legal tender for every body except the Burk of England, and you apprehend that one of the consequences of that must be, the ultimate necessity of a Bank restric tion ?—I think it highly probable, but I also think we are in great danger of that now. When that Bank restriction occurred, would not that be tantamount to making Bank of England notes a legal tender by the Bank of England it , elf?—lt would be tan tamount to that, but the lreisl tture might so limit. the B tnk of England as to take the evil away from that state of things ; they might appoint a courimiss4m Aver the Bank of England, with power to obligate and limit the Bank of England to a given amount of circulation.• Do you think the amount of circulation in the country ought to he always exactly the same?—No, think it ought to possess an expansive character; but rarely a con tractive one. I think the productive employment of in dustry should he the guide. The country bank-notes I eonsid-r to be a most valuable part of the circulation, in asnittch as the country-bankers acted directly upon the channels of industry, and their small note circulation was all employed in the absolute bona fide feeding and clothing of the population, tut the Bark of England note does not rotor in coot :et so directly as the country bankers' did.

The CHAIRMAN, in commencing the business of the day, observed that he fit deeply the compliment they had paid him in calling him to the chair on that important occasion, more espechrly when he saw opposite to him the worthy custos of Trelawny. He congratulated the meeting, and the island at large, on the respectabi lity and strer4th of the present assemblage, which he hope.] would come to such resolutions as would do honour to the island of Jamaica.—(Cheers.) He would du his duty with the utmost impartiality, and if any gentleman had come prepared will] resolutions, be hoped they would be submitted to the consideration of the meeting ; but he anticipated there would be hut little r•ecasion for discus sion, as he was sure there was no difference of opi .ion among any gentlemen present as to the necessity and ex perliercy of the Union. They all knew the full object which it had in view, as it had been expressed in the resolutions entered into at the different parochial meet inn which were on the table before him. He could not conclude without adverting to the many questions that had Leen put to him, as Path r of tie Union, as to what n-ere the duties required of the members ; he had con mitt. d to writing what he considered them to be, and which he would read, viz. —First, to supp,ot the Established Churches of England and Sc,nLnd. Second!), to expel the sectarians, and other incendiaries, from the island. He said other incendiaries, bectose there are men not clothed in the garb of religion, who are premulgating treason and rebellion, and who are enrolled in the ranks of our bitterest enemies. Thirdly, to give no etnployment to any of their proselytes. Fourthly, to hold every man an enemy who fosters or encourages th.nt. It is requisite to do se', that they should be taught to feel that they will not be a lowed to foster these canters to the destrue , ion of the island. Ile was sure that if this resolution were strictly adhered to, they would drive them away. Fifthly, to be ready and prompt in assembling on every r quisiie ore ohm. This was a most important pal t ; and it had afforded him considerable gratification to witness the immense number th it had gatherrd together in 24 hours on a recent eceasion in Sr. Ann'. ; and he trusted that a sinii!ar alacri.y would he every where dire plated whenever it shou'd prove necessary. Sixthly, to ri-k their lives in expelling the enemies of tl.e country. And, finally, to strain every nerve to preserve this island to our Gracious Sovereign King William the Fourth. These I e considered as the principal duties of the Mcmbets of the C..lonia , Union, and I! licpeil every man prey. ot would act up to them.—(l,ll.l cheers). Ti.e flon. \V. iNiIf.LEIL then ri.wl a series of resolutions. eobtlerl a solemn declaration of the Union. Dr. NEILsoN and Dr. Lawson, jun., aho read rese- lutions. Some desultory ennrcrsltion then ensued, which ended in appointing a Sub-Committee, for the purpose of pre paring resolutions for the cons . deration of the meeting. Previous to tie appointment of the Sub-Committee, Mr. H. BROWN rose and moved, that a letter, which had ken sent from the King's House, to the custos of St. Ann'-, for the pur l ose of intimidating them, be read. This was carried be acclamation, and the Hon. Gentleman pro re•sded to read the letter, which was as follows: " King's House, JuTy 12. " am directed by his Honour the President, administering the Government, to acquaint you, that having observed in the public prints certain resolutions entered into on the Itith of June, at a meeting of the Colonial Church Uoion at Ann's Bay, the second of which par ticularly attrac•ed hi. Honour's notice, he felt it his duty to call the attk ntion of the Attorney- General to the subject generally. " The opin;on of the Attorney-General being, that in the original objert of this Union be sees nothing illegal, but that tie second of the resolutions above ;Aided to is illegal, Lis Honour subinittel this report to his Council ; and I am commanded by his Honour to call upon you to admo nish the patties who have entered into the re.clution stated to be illegal, and his Honour expects you will take proper steps to prevent any hr. ach of the peace ensuing on such resolution. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, ~ W. G. MINES. " Costos or, Senior M.gistrate, St. Ann'6." Mr. BROWN continua'—So then we are to be admo nished foracoth ! The paper pretends to have been written to prevent any breach of the peace but it was solely me ant to intimidate the.m, and prevent them from entering in•o ri solutions ; but the Preside nt would fine! himself vet y much mistaken, for they would not be intimideved by such nonsense.—(Cheers.) Mr. WATT—I hope no one in this house cares one straw for that l e tter„—(Cheers.) The Sub-Committee was !hen appointed, and retired for the purpoq: of framing resolutions. After an alnence of an hour and a half, they returned, and , tlee so'emn decla ration they drew up was, after acme verbal amendments, unanimously agreed to. Mr. H. BROWN said, that a circumstance came to leis kteevledge a few drys ago, which he considered was de serving of the utmost pull city. In Clarendon nn sects ien of any description had ever once got a footing ; they often tried to get in, hut never could accomplish i:; in consequence, not a single negro in that parish was impli cated in the late rebellion—not one slowed any symptoms of insubordina!ion He had learned this fart frotn the ju nior M.uil her for Clarendon, Mr.Tuin,r, and if :MA did not show the guilt of the sectarians, he (Mr. Brown) knew not what would. Mr. IJIr.TON suggested that the committees of the dif ferent poishes should take upon themselves to send evies of the resolutions to ditErent persnns in their respective parishes fur the purpose of obtaining signatures. This suggestion was acted upon. 'The llor, W. Mil!er was added to the standing corn milee of the Tielawny Union. Th.nki were then voted to the Chairmin, and the meeting srparated. At the meeting of the Middlesex Magistrates on Thursday, a ground plan and proposed elev.&on for the houses of a spacious s•reet, to he formed in continua tion of Farringdon-str,t, ti l it entered by nearly a right bite into the North Road at lsling:on, were submitted to the Court by the County Surveyor, Mr. Mos&LEY. The street would get rid of those sinks of infa,y, ii!th, and squalid wretchedness which &,ound about Fidl lane and Saffron-hill ; and as such parts of the Fleet ditch in those neighbourhoods which remained open would ha arched over, all future dread of malaria from that turbid, filthy stream would he removed. AM the houses are mostly de. cayed, and producing low rentals, it is estimated that their purchase, after an al,t of Parliament was o'.tained, would not exc•teel 149 000/. ; and that the sale of the old materials, and the ele‘red sites tor the erection of the pro jected buildings along the line of the new street, would prduce about 91.,000/. The houses, it is proposed, should be requited to be hui:t within a certain time, and upon a specified plan. Of the remaining sum necessary to the carrying the ptoject into effect, it is calculated that the Middlesex Magistrates in their public capacity, and the parishes along the line of road, would contribute portions. The benefit to the parish., is obvious, a, it would at once remove a heavy burden from the li:du-rubs, and ,apply an iucteased and resErctable inliat,itancy. LO NDON, SATURDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 15, ISS2. We are enabled to state, upon undoubted authority, that the statements which have been made in the private correspondence from Brits published by some of our Contemporaries , relative to the negociations on the subject of Holland and Belgium►, are entirely unfounded. The real state of the question is this. Genera GOBLET, after hearing from the Conference diet propositions which it was intended to make to the Kings of HOLLAND and BELGIUM, left London for Brussels for the purpose of laying them before LEOPOLD. The Conference itna gine (with what degree of reason we know not) that General GOBLET sill support mcst of these propositions ; but as regards Holland, they are yet without the slightest fact to enable them to rorm an opinion as to the probable. course of the Dutch KING. An offici4l communication from Lord PALMERSTON, in the name of the Con ference, has been sent to the Hague, and the answer is expected to arrive in the course of the next week. A Morning Paper has published a letter from Oporto, in which an estimate is given of the monthly expenditure of the Portuguese Regency for the maintenance of the army. It is not our object to dispute the accuracy of this statement, which, however, is inaccurate in many respects ; but we must remark on the silence which the Oporto correspondent observes as to the neces sary demands upon the treasury of MIGUEL. If Don PEDRO is called on to pay 50,0001. per month for the support of 8,000 troops of the line, what must be the demands on Don MIGUEL, who has in one place or other more than 30,000 under arms ? hitherto plunder has supplied in a great measure the absence of. regular pay, but plunder is nearly at an end, and the Usurper must either find money for his troops, or be compelled to sec them abandon his standard and join the enemy, or rettnn to their homes. We may, therefore, inquire into the compaytive means of the co•npetitors for the crown, for pro longing a contest which is necessarily so expen sive to both. Don MIGUEL has lost that part of his dominions from which he has hitherto had the greater portion of the sinews of war, and his : tyranny and exactions have so indis posed and incapacitated other districts to assist him, that he cannot expect to obtain much from their. hitherto the priests have been liberal contributors, but their treasures are nearly ex hausted, and the moment they perceive the slightest chance of the Usurper's defeat, they will withdraw their, aid. Money he has had from Spain, but the Spanish treasury is now almost as empty as his own. Austria, too, it is said, has given J►er mite in support of the "sacred cause ;" but Austria has now quite enough to do to find money for the pay of a standing army to keep down constitutional opinions at home. The financial situation of 111 IGUEL is not, therefore, a flourishing one ; and if PEDRO can maintain his ground in Oporto for another month, we predict, without pretending to the prophetic rowels of Mr. iklooßE, that, although not very rich, lie will be able to count dollars with the " pet of the convents," Don MiGuEL. It will be admitted, we think, that _MIGUEL has no chance of raising money in the way of loan, his credit being entirely gone. PEDRO is d ifferently circumstanced in this respect. He hasa loan contract in hand, in which he has received only 13 per cent., and if he can hold his ground, it is not probable that those who have advanced so much, will hesitate to secure his success and their own by advancing more. Bat he has another source of which, in extremity, he may avail himself, according to the usages of war. The Oporto Wine Company, one of the most obnoxious monopolies in Europe, and a combination against liberty of every kind, are known to have voluntarily assisted the Usurper in his proceedings against the party of the legi timate QUEEN. These gentlemen have fled, leaving in their cellars at Oporto, it is said, nearly 15,000 pipes of wine, worth, we should suppose, between 3 and 400,0001. A new board of directors has been appointed, and we have no doubt that if PEDRO should be driven hard for money, they will consent to his borrow ina on the security of those wines. Were he to confiscate them altogether, he would only follow the example which the Usurper has set in other cases ; but without confiscation, he may make the property in question available for im mediate exigencies, and pay over the fair value on having obtained for his daughter the restitu tion of her just rights. Thus, with all his diffi culties, PEDRO is not so destitute of resources as his brother, and if money is to decide the contest, he will win. The West Indians are giving a pretty sample of the favour in which they hold the gradual amelioration scheme. At a late public meeting, held in Jamaica, on the subject of the Baptists and Sectarians, they passed, among others equally violent, the following insulting declaration : " We, the undersigned, most solemnly declare, that we are resolved, at the hazard of our not to suffer any Baptist or other sectarian preacher or teacher, or any person professedly belonging to those sects, to preach or to teach in any house in towns, or in any districts of the country where the influence of the Colonial Union extends ; and this we do,—maintaining the purest loyalty to his Majesty King WIL LIAM the FOURTH, as well as the highest vene ration for the established religion, in defence of social order, and in strict conformity with the laws f,mr the preservation of the public peace—to shield this portion of his M AJESTY'S island of Jamaica against insurrection and future destruc tion."—What monstrous inconsistency is here! What a farrago of cant, impudence, and malig nity ! The West Indians, it seems, have " the highest veneration for the established religion ;" yet, notwithstanding this surpassing reverence, they are resolved, " at the hazard of their lives," to prevent the Word of God and the pure principles of Christianity being disseminated among their negroes. Religion, they think, is a monopoly which should be kept in the hands of the re spectable, and not given away to such vile a nimals as slaves, whose souls (if they have any) are neither worth the trouble of salvation or damnation. To encourage a free trade in piety, is to tamper with the rights of the West Indian slave•onncr's pockets, told this, of course, he looks on as the acme of injustice and blasphemy. You might just as well preach to a post as preach to such ' a man about the rights of his fellow-men, or the imperative decrees of Christianity. If he be a layman, he laughs outright in your face; if a churchman, he checks,.out of respect to his calling, his inclination to a sardonic grin, but the very instant your back is turned, runs off; by way of comment on your remonstrances, to rub pepper into the eyes . of his female slave, and gratify his auriculars by the music of her groans. What a libel on Chris tianity is this system of slavery ! What a blot on the character of the age that endures it ! Yet, strange to say, it is not without its advo cates, even among those who in every other re spect are good men and good citizens—so deaf; blind, end senseless are people apt to be to every question which at all wounds the sensibilities of the pocket ! Time slave system is a sacrifice of virtue, feeling, religion, justice, and morality, on the bloAy altar of :tfor.ocm. It is an ac cursed holocaust, which every instinct of nature teaches us to shrink from with horror. Yet few people regard it in this light. By the majority it is argued as a dull, trite, matter of pounds, shillings, and pence, as if human flesh and blood we;e fair articles of barter. An express has been received to-day from Paris, bringing the morning and evening papers of Thursday, and private letters of the same date. The papers, as usual, are very barren of news. The KING has held several Cabinet Councils, at which Count SEBASTIAN! and Marshal SOULT have attended, but nothing is yet fixed as to the new Ministry, or the meeting of the Chambers. M. DUPIN, M. TRIERS, M. GUIzOT, and M. DECAZES are the parties now named to form a new Administration, as the juste-milieu have lost the power they once had in the Cabinet, and an Ultra-Liberal Mi nistry is likely to replace them, if the KING wishes to regain a little of the popularity he once had. The National persists in asserting that LOUIS PHILIPPE has entered into a sort of compromise with the Carlist party, as he begins to feel the burden and anxiety of a throne, and has even expressed that he envies the name his son now bears, aq, when Duke of ORLEANS, he had no cares, and lived happy in his retire. meat. Don MIGUEL'S agents have been completely defeated in obtaining a loan for their Royal Master, whose coffers must be nearly empty. There appears a general reluctance amongst the monied men to have anything to do with him or his agents. General RomARINO has left for Nantes, where he is expected to be joined by a number of other patriots, who will immediately sail for Oporto to join Don PEDRO. A great quantity of am►nu nition and other warlike stores, as well as cavalry horses, have been sent for shipment at Bout deaux, for the same destination. That brave guerilla and patriotic chief, Gene ral MINA, has departed for Bayonne ; his plans remain a perfect secret. The news from Spain is rather important. It appears that Don MIGUEL has applied in a very urgent manner to his uncle, the beloved FERDINAND, to immediately assist him by money and troops, which request has been de ►►ied by the Count D'ALcurnA, who strongly re presented to his MAJESTY that if he attempted in any way to assist Do❑ MIGUEL against Don PEDRO, he must be prepared to make war with France an►l England, as the British Ambasador had seen hin► on the subject, and nositively de clared, that the English Government, although they had not yet recognized Queen DONNA MARLA as Queen of Portugal, would not allow the least interference on the part of Spain in the present contest in Portugal, and the entry of any of her troops would be the signal for war. FERDINAND became furious at this objection on the part of his Minister. The Camarilla party is trying every intrigue to have CA LOMA RDE re-appointed in his stead. Troops had been o►dered to march towards Ciudad Rodrigo, but merely as a precaution, as a de monstration in tl►e cause of the Constitution was feared by Government in that quarter. Paris remains tranquil, and the funds are ra ther better. The cholera is daily decreasing, and is shortly expected to disappear entirely. The Coroner's Inquest have fbund a verdict of " Justifiable Homicide," with respect to the late disastrous transactions at Wallstown. It seems by the evidence, that the Magistrates ex erted themselves with all the energies they could muster, to prevent the necessity of the police and the military coming into collision with the people, but that all their efforts were fruitless ; and they were compelled, in self-defence, to have recourse to the last sad extremity of firing. These re peated conflicts, in nine cases out of ten accom panied by a frightful loss of life, will, we hope, have the effect of opening Mr. STANLEY'S eyes to the utter inutility of his tithe amelioration system. The German Papers received this morning inform ns that Sir STRATFORD CANNING has ar rived at Ancona, from whence he will proceed to London on the expiration of the quarantine. 'We understand that his Excellency has completely succeeded in his mi , sion to the PORTE. Un fortunately for the poor SULTAN he is not in a condition at present to resist any terms proposed to him, for the Tories of the East have not yet forgiven him the sin of in troducing Reform among the worshippers of the Prophet. The harvest in Germany appears to be supera bundant, and bread has in consequence fallen tw•enty•tive per cent. : AUGSBURG, SEFr. 7.—According to accounts from Mos cow the proprietots of the diligences and waggons in that city intend to extend their communications to Wm s tw, and in the course of next year to the Governments of Tamboff, Kagan, Perin, Tobolsk, Irkutzk, Jakatzk, and Kiachta, on the frontiers of China. Thus there will be a direct com munication by land from the frontiers of China to Peters buri!, Moscow, Warsaw, and perhaps to Paris, with which view M. Muller, the beta of the Moscow establish ment, intends to treat with the Messageries at Pari, , . ANcoNA, AUG. 30.—Yesterday morning an English frigate with Sir S. Canning on board arrived in our roads. Sir Stratford is still on boa:d the frigate, but will perform quartntine in the Llzsr.tto ; and then proceed to London. Y. sterday morning another ft igat?, supposed to lie French, was discovered thirty miles distant, but, as it has not been again seen this morning, it was probably an Aus trian vessel. We expect every tnnment a French frigate with a number of men to complete the two battalions of th e 66th Rey itnent. Arrests and emigrations continue herr, both of citizens of Ancona implicated in the troubles, and of fugitives from other places ; of the latter there are but few here, and they will go away to-day and to-morrow. All go to Preugia, Leghorn, 13astia, Toulon, and Mar seilles. The unbridled and indecorous joy of the liberals is succeeded by melancholy silence. It is generally af firmed, that by the day after to-morrow the Delegate will take the direction of the police, and for that purpose 100 of the carabineers return to Ancona, who three months ago were obliged to withdraw, not much to the credit of their arms. There are very serious troubles in Greece, especially at Ali , solonghi, where much blood has been shed. The Greeks appear no longer to respect the foreign troops, and are said to have had some affrays with the nem.li, of which the particulars are nut known. —Allye r meine Zeiiteng, S e pt. 8. illustor, SEPT. 4.—The address of the inhabitants of 114nish 11111. n-it to the King has already nearly 20,000 signatures to it. - 111•Ijot G4 , rwral ll,iilegger will g' to Greece in two :non! lis at the I :test. We learn that profes,, , ir Thiersch will remain in Greece. It is affirmed that Count Armansperg, who is to accom pany Prince Otho, is av ry able financier. His talents may int of great use, fur it is evident to all those who are acquainted with the country, that the happiness of Greece depends much more on a judicious system of administra tion, than on the form of the Government. MavEricE, Ave. 28.—According to the unanimous testimony of ail the principal householders in this pro vince, the harvest, which is mostly ended, is one of the be't, both for the quantity and quality of the corn, that we have had for many years. The pi ices continue to fall . every market day, though the corn is of excellent quality for laying up in magazines. Our speculators find the prices still too high, expecting that if the political horizon should not become more ihietteniug, there will be a much greater decline. However, the consumers are already benefited by a reduction of 25 per cent, in the price of bread.— Frankfort Papers, Sept. 9. AST I. EY'S THEATRE. --That deservedly pp ptilir piece The Invasion of Russia attracts crowded houses every night at ASTLEY . S Theatre. In fact, the amusements at this house are got up with much spirit, and the horsemanship if.possible, more attractive than ever. Letters have arrived from Demerara of the slit of July. Much distress prevailed in the colony. Up to that time few estates had made more than a fourth part o f their usual crop Of sugar, and the embarrassments, bath a mong the plmters and the merchants, were genera►. The following is an extract from one of the letters :—'• Deme rara, July 3l.—Very few estates have as yet made a fourth part of their usud crop. Some say they will yet make up the deficiency before the end of the year, but I do not think it possible fur them to do so; and even if they should, they will again have nothing to do in the early part of next year I believe the colony never was in so deplorable a state as it is at present. Planters and mer chant.; are pushed beyond me,sure ; the former are unable to pay, and the latter, of course, cannot remit. Th e exchange is at a ruinous height, being 17 guilders to the pound sterling, which ispore than 40 per ceut. above par." OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. The DEPUTY RECORDER was occupied the whole morn ing in trying cases, none of w; Or possessed the slightest interest. Barons BAILEY and GURNEY, and Mr. Justice PATTEsoN, having tried the more important cases, have left these Sessions. Ellen Kay, a girl of the town, aged 22, waq indiett d 'or stealing a watch and a sill: Landkerehit4, the pi op t rty of Wiliam Poutiloase. The pros, cu or tatted that on the evening of the 14th of August he had bean with a party of fri”nds, and on his return home he met the prisoner, by whom he was in duced to go to a brothel. In the morning he missed the prisoner, his silver watch, and silk hanc - ;kercbief. A police constibP stated, that on receiving information fron► the prosecutor he succeeded in apprehending the pri toner, on whom he found duplicates for a watch and silk handkerchief, both of which had been pawned by the pri soner. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and she was sen tenced to he tianspor:ed for 14 years. NEW COURT. Samuel Thnm - as, an old ffender, was indicted for steal ing, on the 23d. of August, a boy's dress, a silk waist coat, a tahle-cloth, and several other artict?s, the pro perty of Charles Goodman, of Oxford Market. The case was clearly made out against the prisoner, and the Court, in consequence of a former conviction, sentenced him to transportation for life. . There was another indictment against the prisoner for a similar theft fr,,m a Mr. Monday, but in consequence of the prosecutor's death it was not gone into. William Smith was convicted of stealing a silver-gilt snuff=box from the person of Mr. Joseph Stephanoni, a respectable upholsterer, residing at 14.2, Holborn Bars, on the 1 4th of July, and sentenced to 7 years' transportation. John Evans and Ann Presser were indicted for rob bing lodgings which they had lately taken in Windmill street, Haymarket, of a sheet and pillow-case. The landlady of the house, a female of more corpulent tLan bewitching appearance, stated, that the prisoners took apartments ready furnished from her, and two days afterwards she discovered the robbery. _ Two pawnbrokers prove:l the pledging of the stolen property by the female prisoner. The COM3ION SERJEA NT sentenced both prisoners to seven years' transportation, observing that robberies of this description had now become so frequent, and the present was of such a flagrant nature, that it was necessary for the law to be strictly enforced, and the prisoners to be made an example of. The rest of the cases that carne before the COMMON SERJEA NT to-day, up to the period of our reporters leaving, were of the most trivial description, consisting chiefly of the trill of lads for stealing pocket handkerchiefs. The Ses,ions will terminate on Monday. WESTMINsTER SESSIONS.--(THIS DA V) These Sessions commenced this morning before F. CoNsr, Esq. pursuant to adjournment. Samuel Cast was indicted for assaulting George Divfn on the 17th of August lat. The Jury found him Guilty, when the Chairman sen tenced Lim to pay a fine of 20/. with leave to speak to the prosecutor. Robert Goose, a policeman, after a long trial, in which much conflicting evidence way produced, was tined 64. Bd. for an assault upon Thomas Bonner, a carman, in Horse fet ry-rnad. Mary Davis and Winnifted Smith, two old wo men, pleaded guilty to keeping a common brothel in the pariah of St. James. Mr. PHILLIPS appeared for the parish, and said, as the prisoners' had abated the nuisance, his clients wanted nothing more than that they should be bound over in the same sum as. at present, to appear for judgment when called upon.—Ordered. Another case was called upon, but the prisoner did not appear. This finished the business ; accordingly the Ses sions broke up.

We hive no arrivals of any foreign mails this morning, nor do we bear as yet of an Express from Paris; this may be attributed to the strong north-westerly winds which prevailed the whole of yesterday. hut it is supposed the Ex press will arrive in the course of the day: Being entirely without political news, a great dulness prevails in the City, and all operations in the Funds are in stagnant state at present. Consols, which left MI yesterday at 85 to for the Ac count, opened at 85, with nothing doing. The Foreign Market is in the same state.

Lieut.-General Count DECAEN has just died of an apoplectic stroke, at no very advanced age. It is known that he began to distin;uish himself in the first army of the Rhine, where he was the rival of KLEBER, DESAIX, MOREA Uy and Sr. Cyst. From that time he maintained his high reputation in numerous campaigns and in his cfamnand in ludi I.

FRENCH TAxEs.-- . —The receipt of the indi rect taxes for the month of August is very satisfactory. It has exceeded by 1,800,000 francs the receipt of 1831, and by 7,500,000 francs that of 1830. The receipt of the first eight months of this year shows an increase of 18 minions beyond that of the first eight months of last ye ir. This excess is apportioned among the principal branches of the revenue as follows :—. • Stamp Duties 7,186,000f. Customs 7,P28,00011 Spirituous Liquors Various indirect Taxes 884,000f. Sale of Tobacco 648,000f. Postage 521,000E A RIVAL OF THE CZAR NICHOLAS.-- Li the suburbs of Baltimore I remarked an odd-looking mansion, resembling something between a gaol arr! a lu natic asylum. There, I was told, dwells one who gains his livelihood by seizing negroes, and whose myrmidons are far from scrupulous in considering whether they have any legal right for pouncing on their prey. Gangs of un happy creatures are thus assembled by a system of kid napping, and shipped off for the Southern States. At the very moment we passed a horse stood panting at the g ite. and covered with foam, whose rider, I verily lielieve, as I was told, had Just returned from the pui suit of some hap less and f iendless negro.—Ferguson's Notes on America. HORRID CASE OF FANATICISM.— All Hindu fukeer, dressed in a fantastical garb, winked upon the mind of a wealthy high-caste bramhun woman, to the extent of making her believe that be was her Debut, charged with a spiritual message from the goddess KALEE, demanding a human sacrifice. She declared herself ready to obey the divine order, and asked who was to.be the vic tim? The fukeer pointed io her own son, a young man about 25 years oh!, the heir to her property. The deluded mother waited till the unconscious youth was asleep, and in the silence of night she struck him upon the head with a kodalee, and killed him. This done, she cut up the body under the direction of the fukeer, presented a part boiled with rice as a peace eff-ring, with the usual ceremo nies, to the image of KALEE, part to the wretch who per sonified the Debta, and buried the rest with so Lttle care. that the place of its deposit was discovered by the vultures hovering over the ground, and thus brought to the notice of the police. The facts have been proved before the Commissioner. —Asiatic Journal. DUEL.—Tuesday morning early, an " affair of honour," so tailed, appears to have been settled in s field adjoining Mi'uit Vernon-road, Edge-hill. The par ties, conaisting of five individuals, supposed to be the principals, two seconds, and a surgeon, entertal the about half-past 6 o'clock in the morning. The ground measured, the parties were seen presenting the pistols, which were discharged without effect. In about four mi nutes they were again ready, and upon the drop,iing of the signal (a h , nikerchief) ihey fired. One of them, it to supposed, was wounded in the arm, as he was seen soot) afterwards lying on the grass, about 20 yards froiti the fi,,h LI ground , prohahly getting his w..und dressed bY, the medical attendant.

Whether it be an actual fact or not that the cholera is preceded or attended by a winged army, it is 0 4 for the writer of this article to say; but a few day ago th e Trent, at Littleborough, near East Het ord, was literally covered with a particular species of fly, which extended ° far as the eye could reach. Numbers of them were dead' sad the rest were so stop fled and inanimate as not to .t om tempt to evade being caught : a person putting his h' °° :o the surface of the water might take up from fifty tO hundred at a time.
