to the Mansion•house. Colonel Brereton was with them. Going up stairs witness met Aldermen Fripp, George, and Hillhouse. Very shortly afterwards witness saw the Mayor, and was informed that Sir C. Wetherell had made his escape. Saw Colonel Brereton in the Mansion house. In witness's judgment it was necessary for Sir Charles to leave Bristol et that time, for it was utterly impossible to have held the Assizes, such was the excited state of the public mind. When witness had left the Magistrates to go to Colonel Brereton he left 100 constables there whose tour ige he could rely on, and when he returned the attack had been made on the Man sion-house with great violence, and many of the constables were hurt. The attack nas with stones. Mr. Burgess and witness was sent by the Magistrates to Sir C. We therell to recomtnend him to leave the city. He found Sir Charles at Captain Gardner's, on St. Michaei's and delivered the message ; the crowd was composed of all classes ; the actual agents were tin- lowest persons, and the better-dressed persons did not attempt to restrain therm On returning to the Mansion-house he met the con stables coming down stairs who had been organized by Major Mackworth. That night one of tie Dragoons was brought in wounded ; then Captain Gage asked for leave to fire, and the M iyor assented to it. Colonel Brereton afterwards came and said it was unnecessary to fire, for the mob were good humoured, and that he had not any doubt he could walk them down. Mr. Sergt. Ludlow, paint ing to the wounded soldier asked if that was evidence of good humour. At last, on the Saturday night all was quiet. Witness went home about one o'clock, it being arranged that he should relieve Mr. Burgess early in the morning. Mr. Burgess was to remain with the Mayor and Magis trates all night. \V-tress lived on the confines of the city, and on going home the streets were quiet. Between six and seven in the morning, he returned to the Mansion house. When he got to the Mansion-house, there was a picquet of the 14th Dragoons, sitting in front of it, and but few people assembled. He remained at the Mansion house an hour and a half, or two hours; he found the Mayor in the drawing-room, anti it appeared he had been sitting up all night ; there were no beds there, ex cept the bed in the Recorder's room, which had been taken down. While he was there, a considerable body of people again attacked the house ; the Mayor ordered witness to get his constables together, and Inieg them down to him ; he wrote summonses to the chief constables, and called himself upon several of them. He returned to the M oasion-house in about three-qua. tees of an hour or an hour, and he then found the Mayor had been obliged to fly. He sent the summonses at 20 minutes past 9 o'clock. Having found the Mayor Lad left the Mansion-house, lie went to the Guildhall, where he found the Mayor and several Magistrates ; not more than 60 or 70 constables assembled in consequence of the sum monses. The next step taken to procure the attendance of the citizens, notices there sent out, but not by witness. Sending notices to all the places of worship was a judicious measure, and no measure was snore likely to collect a civil force. The Magistrates sent witness and others to the gunsmiths, and witness arranged with them for the concealment and removal of the guns in their possession, separating the locks from the guns. That was about 12 or 1 o'clock on the Sunday. Mr. Fisher's, Mr. Gillett's, and several other's guns were carried away. Directions and cautions were given to all the gunsmiths. Witness was present at the Guildhall in the afternoon. The number of constables who then attended, he believed, were not 200. Witness was not aware what could have been done to assemble a greater force at that time. Theret was some talk of the military, and a very strong protest against leaving the citizens to be murdered, unless they were supported by the military. The llth had then been sent out of the city. There was no efficient civil force that would consent to act under the Magistrates without the assistance of the military. Did not know of any of the citizens who would act without the military. 'Was present at the discussion between the Magistrates and Colonel Brereton, about sending out the military. It was at 11 o'clock, at the Guildhall. The Colon,l applied for permission to remove the 11th ; he said they had the misfortune to kill a man on the preceding evening, and had again fired on the people that morning. That the people were exasperated against them, and that the only chance of preserving the peace of the citizens was their re moval. A long discussion took place ; Colonel Biereton urged a variety of reasons for their removal, saying they were incapable of acting. The Magistrates refused to sanction their removal, and protested against it. Witness l i said to Colonel Brereton that all the reasons lie had stated were military ones, and he could not expect the Magistrates to take the highest responsibility in permitting the 'mea sure. Measures were then taken to divide the city into portions, with deputations for Under Sheriff of each, upwards of SO in number. Witness finished the Work about 11 o'clock ; the consideration of the means of doing it commenced immediately after the breaking up of the meeting in the Guild-hall. Witness was assisted in this work by Mr. Taunton the barrister and two other legal gentlemen. The Under Sheriffs were to apply at every house, and send the inhabinants to the churches of the parish. Witness had never heard of such procedings taking place before in Bristol. Nothing but mischief Would have re-ul:ed if these measures had been put in force that night. On Monday morning the Under Sheriffs Were appointed, they collected the people, and a force was organised in the different parishes about 10 o'clock It was impossible for the force to be got together earlier from their determination not to come- There was a decided alteration in the disposition of the people on Monday, who would not even attend there until witness had assured them the military- had arrived and were in action. About seven or eight o'clock witness had arranged for the junction of the Political Union on the side of the Magistrates, private property being then not only damaged but actually destroyed. Till the Monday mornins, in the judgment of the witness, the sla• gistrates had no means of suppressing the riots, and could not command any. Did not know what rnore the Mayor could have done to preserve the peace of tie city. Witness was at the Bridewell shortly afer the Magistrates had beets beat b telt. Witness was stopp e d by a friend, aho told him his partner had been murdered, and he would be too if he went. further. Wit ness was at this time on the island, and many thousand persons were assembled. The mob were then at wo, k With hammers. In the judgment of witness. the Magis traces had no means of saving the gaol from the mob. There were 15 or 1G persons iu the gaol charged with capital offences. Cross-ex ,mined by the ATTORNEY GENERAL.—Under stood Lord Melootiene to wish there should Le as little display of the military in Bristol as possible. The hired constables, witness should think, were not known to th e mob, althoug , , they weiecalled bludgeon men. Bludgeon men are hired at elections in Bristol to keep the peace. It Was witness's misfortune to fore he became Under Sheriff to be on the unpopular side of the question. Mr. Pinn• y Was a popular man, anti took the chair at a meeting to celebrant the three glorious days of Paris. Witness, Previous to the entry of Sir Charles, had seen the new Act of Parliament with respect to special constables. Could not recollect whetter be saw it first at the Home -office, but thought it probable he bad- Knew of his own knowledge of guns having been removed as he had klentioned. Saw Mr Fis',ers guns on the Sunday, being removed, and also heard that tt e same had been dote with Mr. Gillott's. The Political Union had not offered their services to witness on the Sunday. Did not see Mr. Here- Path till Monday, when he expressed his regret that he had not seen witness in the night of Sunday. Had paid, through the hands of Mr. Herepath and the Commit ee, upwards of 751. fur the services of the members of the Political Union for three days, at the rate of 3s. 6tl. per day ea c h man. Mr. Herep2,th was appointed Under Sheriff. Re-examined by Sir JAMES SCARLETT—Paid the re gular constables about 4s. a day. Witness's first distinct recollection of having seen the Constahular Act was in t he parlour of the Mansion-house ; but he thought he had seen it some days before that time. Caine to town to see Lord Melbourne and Sir Charles on the 19th of Oct. Daniel Bur gess,7;amined by Mr. FOLLETT—Was one of the city solicitors of Bristol, and also held the office of clerk to the Mayor, in which capacity it was his duty to attend the Mayor whenever he required his assistance. Accompanied the last witness to London, and was present at the interview with Lord Melbuurne, but had no recol lection of seeing there the Constabulary Act. By Mr. Justice TAUNTON—Had no recollection when the Act first came to the hands of the Magistrates of Bristol. By Mr. FOLLET—On witness's return to Bristol, there were several meetings of the Magistrates to consider of the propriety of augmenting the civil force. Witness was present when the directions were given to Mr. Hare to raise 300 constables, and also when he stated that be could not procure a sufficient quantity, and was ordered to hire men. Did not go to meet Sir Charles Wetherell, but accompanied the Mayor to the Guildhall on that day t o meet the Recorder. Witness also went with them to the Exchange to see the constables, where the Mayor addressed them, and stated that he trusted they would do their duty. Witness afterwards went to the Mansion-house, where he remained till the military arrived. Was there during the attack that Was made at the Mansion-house before the arrival of the Military. The attack was most furious. Witness bad an excellent opportunity of viewing it, being on the stair-case. S aw straw took into the M a nsion-house. Stood near to the Mayor when he read the Riot Act, which took place after the Mayor addressed she mob, While the Mayer was reading the Riot Act a stone cut a hole through wit ness's hat, which very much hurt his head, and a brick bat struck his side so severely as nearly to deprive him of breath. The Mayor sheaved ne terror or alarm, but acted with the greatest fortitude. After the military arrived all bec -one quiet for some time, Between 12 and one o'clock the neighbourhood of the Mansion-house was perfectly quiet. An arrangement was made for Mr. Alderman George and Mr. Alderman Gold ney to remain with the Mayor the whole night, at the Mansion-house, with an understanding that all the Ma gistrates were to meet the next morning early at the Guild ball, the Mansion• house not being in a fit state to receive them. About six o'clock in the morning witness and idlr. Alderman Goldney left the Mansion-house and re turned to Clifton, all being then in perfect quiet. Had not then taken the slightest refreshment. The Mayor was in the drawing-room the whole night. Was at the Mansion house when Col. Breretnn arrived ; saw him first in the drawing room, the Mayor being present. The next day wit ness was sent for by the Mayor, who stated that he re quired his immediate attendance at the Guildhall. The only person witness and Mr. Alderman Goldney met on their way to Bristol, was Mr. Alexander A. Hillhouse. Saw the Mayor in company with other Magistrates the next morning. The Mayor was in his Court dress still. Measures were immediately taken for summoning the people together, and circulars were sent round for that purpose to alt the churches. Bristol contained 19 parishes, but all of them had nut churches. It was also determined to issue bills, announcing the departure of Sir Charles Wetherell from Bristol. Another bill was also issued by the Mayor, stating, " The Riot Act has been read three times. All persons tumultuously assembling are guilty of a capital felony." Witness remained at the Guildhall to see the effect of the summonses that had been issued, but not more than 100 or 150 persons at most assembled on that day at any one time. Witness was present at the time some of the citizens expressed their unwillingness to act without the aid of the military. Letters were sent to such places as it was thought would be able to increase the strength of the military. Witness in the course of the dai requested the Mayor, in consequence of his having been up the whole night, and having taken no refreshment, to obtain a little repose if he could. The Mayor would net admit that he was at all exhausted, but he appeared to witness to b e so. Witness then said he hoped the Magistrates would insist upon his returning. Mr. Alderman Daniel stated that he thought witness's suggestion a very proper one, and advised the Mayor to adopt it. The Mayor seemed reluctant, when witness sail it was no use losing time about it, as he would go to the White Lion and get a bed for him. The Mayor at last consented to go, and witness remained at the Guildhall. In about an hour anti a half, a report having been circulated that it was intended to attack Bridewell, witness went to the Vi bite Liou to foch the Mayor, whom he found with his coat and handkerchief off. The Mayor expressed his readiness to go, and followed witness to the Guildhall. Another meet ing was then held. Two Df the 'Magistrates went towards the gaol, and witness rernaine I with toe Mayor. Witness afterwards went with the Mayor to Col. Brereton, in con sequence of Aldermen Daniel and Fripps having gone there, a report having been circulated that the mob intended to attack the shipping and the banks. Saw Colonel Brere ton, who was not there when witness arrived. Mr. Al derman Fripp drew up a letter to the Secretary of State, which witness took to the post, and afterwards returned to the Colonel's, where something occurred which induced the Mayor to say he would return to the Council-house. The Mayor remained at Colonel Brereton's an hour, during which nothing was said by him about the means of escape, nothing existing at that time to cause any alarm. A report that the shipping was on fire was brought in, but the Mayor showed no fear whatever. Went with the Mayor to the Council-house, where there was a report brought that the mob were about to attack the Bishop's Palace. Witness proceeded with tile Mayor, Mr. Alder man Savage, and about 25 persons to the Bishop's Palace. S Lee a gentleman whom he knew, anti begged hint to ac company them, when be replied, " You know I have valu able is, operty of my own, and must stand at my:own ware house door." The numbers fell off very much before they arrived at the Palace, which we could not get within fifty yards of. Did not remember Mr. Bulwer going there, but it was stated, " You cannot go to the Palace, the soldiers are surrounding it." 'Witness then went to Colo nel Breteton'ir room, where two of tile Sergeants came in, stating " They are caught ; they are caught, like a rat in a trap ;" followina that up by saying, " Come in here." They were taken into a back-room, from which they dis tinctly saw the troops surrounding the doors of the Palace. Could not tell whether the Mayor was in the room. In a short time a report came that the soldiers had left the Palace, and the constables had dispersed, and left the mob. Siiortly afterwards somebody came and said a large body of the mob was coming towards the Palace. Witness went towards the Green, and a man ran by, waving a cudgel, and exclaiming, the Bishops, down with the Bishops." Witness heard a violent cheering, as from a large crowd. As the mob was coming towards Col Brereton's office, witness felt alarmed, and went into the office to tell the others to escape. Witness went away with Sergeant Ludlow. How the Mayar escaped, he could not tell ; he thought all their lives were in danger by remaining there. There were no military or consta• hies to 'protect them. Shortly after, the mob broke in the Palace and set it on fire. SergeantLuillow and witness, at the bottom of Park -street, met two or three men who were very indignant at the conduct they bad met with as con stables at the Palace. They said they had bet n deserted by the military, and as it was the second time their lives had been endangered, they would give it up. Sergeant Ludlow said, as the pi isoners had been libel ated, and as he had sentenced them, he thought that the mob would direct their vengeance against his house at Clifton, and he requested witness to ao there and arrange fur the safety (Allis (the Sergeant's) family. He did so. On his return from Clifton he went to Mr. Frepp's, where he found the Mayor. The Doddington troop of yeomanry having ar rived, witness and Serg. Ludlow went to Col. Brereton's office,but could not find the Colonel. A roan at the office door refused them admittance, and appeared to be intoxicated. The man said the Colonel was not there. 'Witness went back to Mr. Fripp's to the Mayor, and reported his attempt to find Colonel Brereton. Witness had heard that an officer had called on the Mayor for orders for the Doddington troop, and it was suggested that time Mayor should write an order to Col. Brereton respectin g the troop. The Mayor in that letter authorized the Colonel to take what steps he thought proper to restore the peace, and to consider that order to apply to the troops then in Bristol anti to any that might afterwards at rive ; and that the Riot Act had been read three times. On witness's proposition, the Mayor stated in the letter that he was to be found at Mr. Tripp's, No. 30. Berkeley-square, in case the Colonel required the presence of a Magistrate. Mr. Brice, witness's part.- tier, was requested to take the letter. The Mayor also s geed ',diets for the Duddington Troop. Witness then went home. At halt-past six in the morning, lie went to the Council house, and saw the Mayor, who ap peared to have been up all night. Almost all the Magistrates were there. He saw Major Beckwith there, but could not recollect anything that occurred be tween him and the Magistrates. During the who'e of Saturday, Sunday, and Monday morning, the Mayor did not show anything like personal fear. it was impossible for any man to conduct himsclt with more firmness and propriety than the Mayor did. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL— Wit ness was p e r tectly collected during the wiiiile time ; was twice in the course of the evening at Colonel Brereton's office ; could not say that Colonel Breretnn arrived in the office at six o'clock, while the Mayor and Magistrates were there ; did not hear the Mayor assure the Colonel that he did not require the pre sence of Colonel Brereton, or indeed to wish it to be known that he or the Magistrates were there ; nor did witness hear time Mayor say that he considered Col. Brereton's office a place of safety; saw a sentinel at the office-door, but did not hear the Mayor re quest a sentinel to be placed there to give timely lletiee of the approach of the mei). When at the office be did not hear any thing about getting an old coat and trowers, and he stay nothing of the sort come there. Heard Mr. Osborn's name mentioned, but it was not said that a sergeant should go there for the coat and trousers. A messenger was sent to Mr. Osborn. Witness had no intimacy with Mr. Pinney until he became Mayor, but had known his person for many years; did not recollect whether he had ever seen Mr. Pinney on horseback. Never saw him riding a tall horse. By Sir JAMES S CAR L E 7T-,-.There were only e i g ht or ten persons io Colonel Brereton's office ; but they could not have been tnarshalled to suppress such a . mob. — Mr. Sergeant LIR was next called, but the Judge and Jury retired to take some refreshment.

There were of claimants 163, of whom 11 withdrew, and two were rejected, leaving 150 new constituency under the new Bill, in addition to whom 44 were transferred from the old freeholders' Zia, making an aggregate constituency of 194 in Orkney. It is understood that 52 have registered in Zetland, so that the constituency united in the return of the same Member will be about 276.—Inverness Courier. eNor _ LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 30, 1832. A messenger was sent to the Hague on Sun day, with despatches for our Ambassador, and a formal summons to the King of HOLLAND to deliver up immediate possession of the citadel of Antwerp, and give satisfactory guarantees for the execution of the other conditions of the Treaty with Belgium, recommended by the Con ference. It was expected that this summons would reach the King of HoLLAND last night, or this morning, and as he has only two days to consider of it, his answer will arrive here at the latest on Sunday. The statement current in the City, yesterday, of his having already offered to give up possession of the citadel of Antwerp, is wholly without foundation. A report from Oporto mentions, that imme diately Don PEDRO was informed of the extra ordinary change of politics in the Cabinet of St. Ildcfonso, he contemplated a mission to Madrid. By some it is conjectured that Connie de VILLE REAL, now in London, will be ordered by Don PEDRO to proceed shortly to the Court of Madrid. Although the con the treaty between d — i ---- f tions o __ Great Britain and France, for the adoption of coercive measures against Holland, have not been published in this country in any official shape, they have transpired in Paris, and the do cument itself will, it is supposed, be published, in the course of a few days, in some of the Paris papers. The treaty, after expressing regret that the Plenipotentiaries of Austria, Russia, and Prussia, have not received full powers to concur with those of Great Britain and France, in the measures considered necessary by the Cabinets of the two countries, binds the Governments who are parties to the treaty, to the adoption of the following measures :—First, to demand from the King of HOLLAND the evacuation of the citadel of Antwerp, and all the portions of the Belgian territory occupied by his troops, and unequivocal assurances that the treaty between Belgium and Holland, recommended by the Conference shall he taken into consideration, with a view to the immediate settlement of the question, the King of HOLLAND to be allowed up to the 2d of November for his answer to this demand. Secondly, in the event of the refusal of the King of HOLLAND to comply with the summons of the two Cabinets, a fleet, composed of British and French ships, under the command-in-chief of a British Admiral, is to blockade the Scheldt, and an embargo is to be laid upon all Dutch vessels in British and French ports. The French army is to co-operate by land, if necessary, and the citadel of Antwerp is to be taken possession of by the French, for the purpose of delivering it up to the King of BELGIUM. There are, we understand, secret articles in which the French bind themselves to the speedy evacuation of Belgium, when the object of their entry into that country shall have been attained. Such, we are assured by a Paris correspon dent, who derives his information from a respect able source, are the chief points of the treaty, which appears to have given great satisfaction in Paris, and to have produced a rise in the Funds from the impression that it conveyed of the cer tainty of success in any measures cordially undertaken by the two Governments. It is not thought in Paris that the King of HOLLAND will resist the summons ; and we find that our own Government professes to have equal confi dence in the pacific result of this demonstration. Nous verrons. We are informed that the United States of America have succeeded in an object they have been long pressing upon the Neapolitan Govern ment,—the actual payment by the latter of two millions, one hundred and fifteen thousand pias tres, for the indemnity claimed by the subjects of America. At a late hour this afternoon we received German Papers. They contain news from Constantinople highly unfavourable to the SULTAN, whose forces are unable to resist the triumphant march of IBRAHIM PACHA. The Pacha of EGYPT, who, some time ago, offered to submit, provided the Government of Syria were given to him, now spurns all idea of submission, and insists on the hardest conditions before he suspends the march of his army. The only resource left to the SULTAN is to ask the interposition of England or France. Our opinion is, that Russia is the secret mover of the Egyptian revolt, and England had, there. fore, better look to her own interests in the East without loss of time : AUSTRIAN FUNDS. VIENNA, OCT. 18. OCT. 19. Five per Cents q 7 9-16 87!4 Foua per Cents. Bank Shares ll3l 1125 Allgemeine Zeitung, Oct. '24. The Post of this morning contains a long rambling article vigorously eulogistic of Lord TENTERDEN, and as vigorously vituperative of Sir THOMAS DENMAN. The first part is all light, the last all shade. The one describes the qualities of a seraph, the other those of the opposite extreme. We offer, however, this explanation of our contemporary's diatribe with great caution and reserve, as men walk about in fog and darkness, for his meaning (supposing him to have a meaning) is not very readily come at, being hid, like the " old Egyp tian wit," in " hieroglyphic dress." So far as we can make out, his object is, by contrasting the character of the Lord Chief Justice with that of the Attorney-General, to show this benighted country, how much it is likely to lose by the retirement of the one, and how little to gain by the elevation of the other, to the va cant office. This idea is worthy of our contem porary, and is executed in a worthy spirit. Ne vertheless, his article is not without its defects. For instance, its estimate of Lord TENTERDEN is as erroneous as its estimate of Sir T. DEN MAN ; moreover, it is less regardful of truth than is consistent with established etiquette, and goes considerably out of its way to drop a pious tear on the grave of the defunct Constitution. But these are motes in the sun-beam. Besides, what human production is perfect Our contemporary is vastly mistaken if he suppose that Lord TENTERDEN is really the perfect model that he would fain make him out, His Lordship is no such thing. He is simply a good lawyer and an upright man, with no earthly pretensions beyond these ; and will, we are sure, be among the first to laugh at the clumsy idolatry of the Post. But our contemporary is seldom more fortu nate in his praise than in his censure—in his opinions, than in his mode of giving utterance to them. He seems perpetually haunted by a passion for singularity. For instance, " Our House of Peers," quoth he, "is no longer an independent estate of the Legislature"—that is to say, it has no longer the privilege of usurping the power of the other two estates of the realm ; " our House of Commons is no longer a fair representation of the different classes of the community ; "—that is to say, it is no longer at the beck of a faction, but has become a mirror, in which the wants and wishes of the people will henceforth be faithfully reflected ;—" our Church is the object of ignorant and malignant calumny ; "—that is to say, its abuses have grown to so enormous a height, that from one end of the country to the other there is a just and na tural desire to see them rectified ;—" the heart of our people is turned aside by the arts of un unprincipled agitators;"—that is to say, the people have at length attained the happy art of discriminating between their friends and foes. Such is a sample of one passage picked at random front the Post of this morning, which, though it consists of not less than four conse cutive, highly elaborated clauses, yet, from the beginning to the end, contains not one little word of truth, or even common sense. Ex into disce 071111 CS. The chief incident in the money market yesterday has been a further rise in Exchequer bills, which are at 30s. to 315., and in India Bonds, which are at 20s. to 21s. premium. Money is stated not to be worth, on the best security, more than I to 11- per cent. ; gold is coming in rapidly from all parts of the Continent, and the deposits at the Bank of England are said to be increasing in a most extraordinary degree. These circumstances tend to support the funds, in which there is generally much re luctance to invest, on account of the uncertain state of po liticalaffairs.— Times. We are informed from a quarter on which we place reliance, that orders were despatched from the French Embassy on Sunday, for the immediate march of the troops into Belgium. They are to remain before Antwerp for eight days, and to attack at the expiration of that time should the citadel not be surrendered.—Morrting Pont. SEVER E FROST.—A letter from Norem burg, dated October 20, says :—" On the night of the 18th we had the first frost, which was very sharp. The thermometer was at 5 deg. below Zero early in the morn ing ; the plums on the trees were hard like walnuts, and even the ripe grapes like leaden bullets. The day before yesterday all was green and flourishing—now all looks dead and withered. We hope that the damage may not pr"te, 8 0 great as a partial observation gives reason to fear."

THE SPEAKING FRENCH GRAMMAR, IN SIXTY LESSONS, Particularly calculated to render the speaking of French easy to English persons, without the assistance of a master. The Fourth Edition. Ey J. V. DOUVILLE, Professor of the French Language, 110, Strand, London. MY' TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Ste,—This Grammar, of which the fourth edition has just appeared, will be found eminently useful for self-instruction. It is the best companion which a person desirous of learning the French language can possibly have. The Essays on the rules of the language are all colloquial, and form a valuable repertory for conversation. By construing these familiar exercises into French, according to the method recommended in the Key, the pupil is kept in constant practice, and may learn the French language with as much facility as if he studied it in Paris. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, London, October, 26, 1832. M. N. 0. N.B.—M. Danville is also the author of an excellent introductory book to the French language, in 19 lessons. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, T WEL VE 0' CLOCK. Quebec papers to the 30th September, Montreal to the 3d October, and Port-au-Prince to the 2tl September, havebeen re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Board of Health, Montreal, Oct. 2.; The Board of Health feels the sincerest pleasure in being enabled to congratulate their fellow-citizens on the almost total disappearance of the cholera; but few cases having occurred within these last ten (lays. It appears that the second meeting of the five counties took place at St. Charles's on Friday, last. The Committee having reported its proceedings, by which its powers were continued, and in consequence of some expressions in the letters of his Excellency to the magistrates and the military, the Assembly did not judge it expedient to carry into effect to convene the Provincial Parliament. The Indian war is completely at an end, as by the last accounts the hostile chiefs, Hawk and the Prophet, have been captured. We understand that his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, sets out on Monday or Tuesday next for Montreal. THE FUNDS. The arrival of the advanced Guard of the French fleet on our shores, consisting of one line of battle ship and four frigates has had a little effect on our Funds. We understand that our fleet will not be ready before the Bth of November. The French Admiral goes on shore this day, the remainder of the French fleet was not expected till to-morrow. The ships have a fine appearance. Consols, which left off yesterday at g 4 opened at 63"); ; 84, at which price they are at present, with little doing. The public and speculators are anxiously waiting his Dutch Ma jesty's answer. Up to this hour we have no fresh news from Portugal. Consols are now 84. HALF-PAST ONE. Up to the present hour, we have no political information to communicate respecting the Dutch question, still various are the opinions on the subject. The Dutch party are of a firm opinion that the King of Holland will not give up the Citadel of Antwerp without coining to blows. A few days will decide this important event. Although we have the appearance of warlike preparations the funds continue steady with little doing. Consols which were in the early part of the morning at 83 %N for the Account are at present 84 buyers. In the foreign market the chief specula tion is in Spanish Stock, which has improved };per cent. ; they have been done at 15 I 4 Portuguese Scrip, 4to discount. THREE O' CL 0 CK. Consols for Account, 84. Baron DURAND DE MAREIUL has quitted town for Paris, on his way to Berlin, to assume his func tions as Minister Pl-nipotentiary tram the Court of the Palais Royal. The B iron is a diplomatist of considerable experience, having been employed as Minister at the Hague and the United States under the Emperor NAPo. LEON. He came to this country in June last as the suc cessor pro tern. of Prince TALLEYRAND, during his Exerl lency's absence. _ _ EAGLE.—A mountain eagle flew over the Academy Park in this town, last week, to the no small astonishment of the boys in the play ground, and every person who witnessed it. Whether the majestic wanderer had " lost its way," or winged a bolder flight than usual, we cannot tell ; but we have never seen this monarch of birds nearer the town than at the distance of a dozen mi'es, on the solitary banks of Loch Ness, among the cliffs of Inverfarigaig, or at the Fall of Foyers.—lnverness Paper On Sunday evening, during the service at Mr. litviNa's " pr.,ching house," torinerlv the residence of BENJAMIN WEST, Newman-street, Oxf qd-street. a gentle man lost a valuable gold watch. PARTRIDGE, the police officer, was in the house at the time, and, on being in formed of the robbery, used every endeavour to discover the thief, but without effect. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Kingston House-rooms, ➢londay Night. Revenge has been backed at 9 to 1, and Moses's dim freely at 14 and 15 to 1 ; Glaucus is not affected in the odds by his defeat. The rest as before. Fur the matches Hargrave and Camarine are at evens, and Crutch has the call of Camarine. We are informed by a gentleman from Rot terlam, that on Friday last the Dutch Government issu , d a notice to all the shipbrokers at Ainst,rdain and Rott,r dam, to prepare and to forward that same day, to the Go vernment, a list of all British vessels in the Dutch ports with which the said brokers were connected. Tie list was to set forth—the name of the vessel, of the owner, and of the captain ; the tonnage, and a description of the cargo, with general particulars. The returns thus or dered were made up and transmitted to the Hague on the evening of Friday. 'Whether this measure is preparatory t) an embargo or not we cannot pretend to say ; but if it is, the thanks of the merchants and shipowners concerned are due to the Dutch Government for the warning thus timely given to them. With respect to the right of the Dutch Government to lay an embargo on British preperry, it would be idle to blink the question. Should the prelimi nary act of hostility take place on the part of Great Br itain in pursuance of the coercive measures resolved on by the Conference, which is at present contemplated, the King of HOLLAND, in accordance with the policy of resistince which he has adopted, has an indisputable right to avail himself of all the means of defence in his power against the execution of the coercive measures, the justice of which he denies. —Morning Paper.

The demand was In tat active for the Company's finest arid best silks. The private trade Bengals were all sold at prices realizing the same advance as the Company's silks. Of Chil a silks about 2,500 bales were brought forward for sale, of which a larger proportion was bougi t in, and the re onainder was disposed of at about the sarne price. as those given at the June sale.

SEIZURE OF THE THAMES HOSPITAL Slue, CHANTICLEER, 31.0 RED OFF MILLBANK.—(ROM a Corresp indent.)—On Saturday last, about 10 o'clot k, by the command of the Right lion. the Lords of the Ad miralty, several boats, under the direction) of a Lieutenant of the navy, and accompanied by a party of the Thartros police, boarded the above ship, arid ordered the whole hospital establishment forthwith to quit the vessel, which was directly unmoored and carried away by those who had token possession of her. As it n:ay be inferred a measure so prompt and decisive would not have been take n unless to disabuse the public, no donut some satistactoiy explanation will be given of the cause for it. On the ith inst. a labouring man, named lIALLA3I, of Bottesford, whilst at the Belvoir Inn, in the village of Belvoir, undertook for a wager to swallow two quarts of ale at a draught. This he accomplished, and shortly afterwards added nearly ap nt i.f neat gin to it. He was soon in a state if intoxication, and put into a sta ble fo, the night.
