THE LATE GALES.
During Saturday night, and the whole of Sun-

SW., N., NE., &c. ; the effects of which are visi-
ble eking the coast to ao almost incredible de-

much hazard from the barhour, and it is hoped

done much damage. We have already heard that
scarce a vessel in Yarmouth roods but has host an-
chors and cables, and one or two disurasted. Several
brigs have come into the harbour, and many gone

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY. Novtanza 7, 18,1.

The funds rose yesterday about a quarter, with.
out the apparent operation of any cause of a public
nature to lead to this improvement. There were no
arrivals from the Continent, in consequence of the
tempestuous state of the weather. No confirms.
tion, therefore, has been given to the rumours re-
specting the appointment of an Ambassador from
the Court of Petersburgh to the Porte, or to those
contained in the last arrivals from the Continent,
which brought the assurance, though expressed in
more general term., that all matters of disagreement
between the Courts of Russia and Turkey have been
accommodated. Unless, therefore, the truth of the
old adage were fully admitted and acted upon, that
" no news is good news," there seemed no sufficient
cause iu the ordinary course of affairs for an im-
provement in the market. In the absence of public
events, which might affect the prices of stock, we
must necessarily attribute this rise to the skilful
combinations of the speculators, who, as we under-
stand, have conspired to monopolize the greater
part of the floating stock, which is necessary for
the ordinary accommodation of the public, and
who, therefore, can supply it to occasional pur-
chasers in such quantities and ■t such prices as
may suit their own purposes, and give an apparent
elevation to the general state of the market. This
speculation reaches, it is is said, to a very hazardous
extent. We shall not therefore be surprised if we
hear, at the next settling, of some defaulters to a
large ■wount.

The policy of the existing laws for regulating and
controlling the trade in corn, will be again made ■
question for discussion in the ensuing Session of
Parliament; but the result may, we think, be
already anticipated, from the feeling evinced upon
the matter at various times by his Majnty's Minis-
ters. An interesting account will be found in an-
other part of our Paper of ■ meeting which wits held
at Renfrew on Tuesday week, of the Freeholders,
Magistrates, and Commissioners of Supply of the
country, fur the purpose of taking into consi-
deration the state of the Corn Laws, Mr. MAX..
Willa.. the Member of Parliament for the county,
made a very excellent and sensible speech, in
which he displayed an extensive mud sound
knowledge of the general principles of com-
merce; but while he sheeted that lie appreciated
highly the beauty of the theory which urges the
policy of establishing a free and unrestricted trade
between independent nations, he contended for the
practical necessity of imposing limitations upon
the trade in corn for the protection of farmers
and proprietors of lend. The mode of affording
this protection became, therefore, the question to
be considered, and Mr. Maitureu. professed
. himself an enemy to the present clumsy and
iuunslicial system of a total restriction, until corn

of pasturage lands is compasetieely sit great for

ceased to bear their fair end equitable proportion
to the total produce, and hence, undoubtedly,
arises the greater part of the distress of which the
agriculturists complain. We from time to time
hear of humane and wise landlords returning to
their tenants a considerable proportion of their
rents ; but it would be mach better if they
were to renew their leases at a just estitnste
of their value. Their example, however, is
good, and will, we trust, be universally follow-
ed. This circumstance does not appear to

have been alluded to at the Renfrew meeting. Mr.
Semis opposed the principles urged by the two
other gentlemen, and proposed that • Committee
should be appointed to investigate the subject
under discussion, and report their opinions to au-
other meetlog. This was finally adopted, and •
Committee of six gentlemen was chosen, three
from the agricultural and three front the mann-
lecturing interests of the county. It was under-
stood that another meeting should be held on the
first Monday in December, for the purpose of re-
ceiving the report, and adopting such further steps
as might be deemed expedient.

Considerable anxiety was felt in Dublin in the
early part of last week in consequence of a ru-
moured intention to decorate the statue of King
WILLIAM, as usual, on the 4th of November
(Sunday last). We are happy to find from the
Dublin Papers of Saturday that all ground of
apprehension has been removed by the prompt,
liberal, and judicious conduct of the proper
authorities. The letter of the LORD MAYOR, and
the Resolutions unanimously passed by the Board
of Aldermen prohibiting this ceremony, will be
found in another part of our Paper. We confi-
dently presume that they bail produced the desired
effect, and that no attempt will again be made to
revive this practice. The Corporation of Dublin,
by this one act, has made ample amends for many
errors, and proved the sincerity of their wishes to
cultivate the system of conciliation and kind-

nee so strongly recommended by the KING on
his late g►aciou■ visit to that city. Among,
the other benefits resulting from the disuse of
this practice, justice will be done to the memory
of King WiLtum, and the name of s Sovereign
to whom the country is indebted for its free Con-
stitution will be no longer associsted with domestic
strife, nor his statue displayed as a signal for into.,
lerence sod persecution.

The military list in the London Gazette is looked
forward to with great impatience in the army. We
lately stated that the Lo►ds Justices appointed to
exercise the functions of government in the ab-
sence of the KING, load not undertaken in meddle
with that department. The list of promotions and
exchanges accrued in the interval must he very
considerable, and will probable occupy a large
space in au early Gazette after his MAJESTY'.
return.

The return of the King by the 20th continues to
be regarded as certain. The Palace can now be
got into a complete condition for royal occupancy
at the shortest notice. His Majesty is expected to
be in London about the Bth. The sinking of the
gas tubes in the palace gardens, for exteriorly illu.
eninating the regal edifice, are yet in process. The
prevalence of dansp weather has procrastinated the
completion of the design. but the whole will be
fini.hed in a few days. The entrance to the Royal
Chapel is ornamental to Castk-square. Several
