PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE Feu. G.—There is no politieal news of the least importance. The disc‘ossion on . the will b e long: 1 do not sttpfmke it will be finislterl thii month. The .qatestions, i which w arise an the sale of theivootis for Or benefit o sinking fund, (Onion the credit allowed to Ministers Of six hundred millions napital 5 per cent. stock, (rlie basis of the projected loan,) are almost the only:ones which are expected to be interesting. The distress caused by the bigh‘price and even the scarcity of provisions increases rather than diatin.shes. It appears than an ordinance is on , the stocks to relieve the city of Pitris front the expellee caused by brad being scii di,o a cheaper rate than the p r i ce o f corn and dour would allow. I do not know whether this btirden is to be thrown upon the Stateor tvliether his 'Majesty will pro 'vide for-it from his privy purse. You have seen in the papers, that a Lady,for tnerly, in a splendid situation; and herself at illus.. triune birth, teas accused of baring obtained diamond from a jeweller under false pretences, and of having afterwards pawned it. As only the tiale of the name ,were given, it is j , ist possible that you tuav not haVe guessed it she is the wi stow Of General Junot; Duke of Ahrinres, and her mother descended from the Comn'enes',' Emperors of Constantinople. The diamond was worth . about 8001. staling. The administration of the Department of the ;.ieittediave just been looking over the accom.ts of e contractors for the FM let us supplied to the 'Allied Troops during their stay in •this depart ' ntent: immense frauds have been illitttOVered, and one clerk, employed in making thivtidtstracts, is detected not Only of having been the con . tractor under a borrowed name, but also of hav, ing robbed most scandalously in the execution of his contract, fie is dismissed, and probably will Hot eitcape an. The stocks shut to.day at (30 fr. 25 cents, It i% very eotraordinary that the delay ri,completili g the loan does not ' inspire any Seri?) . r' is . onesiness upon Thanze ; every one %reins to take it for grtinted it will bedefinitively conciffiled.

MEETING IN SP,I-11 EMS. Etruturnea aTteueses.] At half-past twelve o'clock great Unnibers sepa rated from the crowd, under thrilled that no chair would be teken, and the getieral belief ti as, that a hoax similar° to that which took place last Mon day had been practim'ed upon them, About this tittie the numbers thinned to at least Out' half, and those who reinained seemed noire anxious for sportive frolics than Serious ddiheration. An immense number of Magistrates rode constantly anionit the people, and Mr. Stafford, the Chief Clerk at Pow -street, with a phalanx of poli ce officers, paraded in the vicinity of the • ground. Several divisions of cavalry were statioued ili the City..road, and a very strong party' of them was drawn up at the top of Gray's-inn-lane, with swords drawn, Hod provided with their full accoutrements. • There,. was :not, however, the least appearance of a military force where th e Meeting was assem bl e d . At one o'clo ck universal shouts announced the arrival of slime leading cha racter in the field. fining the momentary agita tion which this anxious suspence occasioned, gangs of pickpockets were evidently on the alert, and had, for the instant, apparently succeeded, in treating among the immense crowd that sort of pressnre and clamorous interruption which are:so welLsolited to tie maoagetisent of their depreda ions.---This Friend to the Pickpockets proved to be linnt. CealiKe., the Chairman, then notified to the Meeting that this was an adjourtied Meetirig, lie also informed them that their petition, agreed to on the occasion, had been presented to the House of Commons, and ordered' to lie on the The Chairnian then stated his having mitten to Lord Cochrane on the subject of Reform, and requesting his Lordship to present the petition of the Meethig to the House of Commons, and. to attend them this day, shwild he tind it convenient. To this the Noble Lord had nothing would give him more pleasure than to present their pe tition, but tit. • he could not attend the Meeting, as he was going to latend one at Hampshire. A letter of a . similar nature was sent ;el- Sir Francis Burdett, but he had not returned any written answer, He had, 'however, told a Gen tleman Who waited on him, that he had no oh. itetion to support that part of the Petition which supported Parliamcntary Reform, but he never would conse o t t o support the lirriptiSition, for granting universal suffrage or for voting by ballot, as they were mere visionary theories. No man felt more than he did the necessity; of ft eforni, hot impracticable schemes were the most likely to ruin it, and these he never should support, Mr. Hot:rr then come forward, anti in his ac customed manner addressed the meeting it, a long speech, and intived ten resolutions, of which the last. only contains any novelty 10. "Resolved, that a Petition he presented to the Honourable House of Commons, praying them not 'to give their 4 . lla!vaance to any mea sure, which shall haVe a tendt.'lley to abridge the Right of'.

A Mr. PENDRILI; seconded the Resolutions, which, it was agreed, were carried utianimmisly, and the, Petition was sons lifterWattlS brought forward and read., Mr. Huts? thin, addressed the Meeting, am; sai4, as at this moment Lord Cochrane and Alt Cnbbett were addressiog t he'people on Portsdown hill*, near Portsmouth, he fillo4l now move that this Meeting do give three cheers to the cause Isere he commenced, and the 'multitude followed loin, giving three times thtee cheers.. The rest of the primeedings were of so ridicu lous and contemptible a nature, thet is 4 cannot repeat • them. Hunt complained of not having had fait play at elle' last Common' Hall, and lic ensed a oerson in the room of having misrepre sewed him.. This person proved to be llitchins, an auction eer , of IVaitiontin's party, as appeared train a speech. which •he attempted to make, but which he was , not suffered to - priieeed in, being repulsed by eltimoors and hisses; Hunt then repeated bis assertion that the Livery-waS packed. The business concluded by agreciog that the Petition should b- lined immediately by nineteen persons, to render it,legal, and that it should be, presented i n t h e course of the eveni ng , if pos sitdt% Tij ith k g we re th en Vail d to Lord Folk. Stone, and the INlte:ing ii as adjourned to that cla y sit weeks. • Hunt, as 'usual, WM; escorted by the mob on his returning home, and cheered repeatedly by them. .At the end of the Aleeting several persoits foinnt they had lost their watches, and one G ent l eman pocket—book conteining- ttevtral notes.. A Gentleman near Turnstile, flolliorn, bar! his watch and gold seals abstracted, in consequence of his being hustled by a gang of thieves.

Thus, while the orators were tearing grammar to shivers . , The boxers were distorting features l'he Jew Bare' stone in weight, but his good fighting gained him victory in sixteen minutes. His fistS were constantly adversaty's face, and Ac was only returned upon in one instauce. THEATRICAL RILGISTER. ~Performed Las, Night.

"I see a Cherub which secs them," says tramlei, when speaking of his own clear percepti►►n of things which policy forbid hin► to specify in direct terms.

These arrests, no doubt,' produced an excel lent effect in intimidating the turhulent„t4d con ucing to th e qu i et of yesterday's. 81104eldg Meeting. .Batt we may attribute the harmlessness of time mob to. several other causes : and first, we rejoice to mention as one of them the broad and obvious fact of the return. of public feeling into a better chaund. The vileness of the Mountebanks who have taken the lead in these outrages, and the un disguised villainy of their plans, have done much to open the eyes of the People: the proceedings of Parliament, the highlypopular conduct of our truly Illust ions REGatiT, the evident devotion of his Servants to a system of the utmost practicable economy, and their noble sacrifices from salaries, unanimously confessed to be inadequate, have done a great deal more. The bubble of the hour has burst, 'and what we now observe is only the dissipation of its frothy 1 particles.
