TRADE REGULATIONS.

Every member of the Society agree as follows, viz.:-
1. That he will not engage himself u an Assistant, nor continue
to live with, any person or persona who after the 31st of August,
1825, will not agree that his day's attendance shall cease (except as
to clearing away)
In the months of November, December, January, and February,
at seven o'clock in the evening.
In the months of March, April, September, and October, at
eight in the evening.
In the months of May, June, July, and August, at nine In the
evening.

On Saturdays, one hour later.
2. That, like other tradesmen, he will consider his day's employ.
ment ended at the times mentioned, and will cease from business
acordingly : neftrshelem, if at say time lie shall be actually serv-
ings customer, or rising soy other thing relating to business, he
will complete the business on which he may be engaged.
6. If any member should be dismissed from his employment for
refusing to continue his business after the hours mentioned in Arti-
cle 1„ every other member employed by the person or persons who
dismissed him, shall immediately, or as soon as the agreement he
has made will permit, leave the employment of such person or
persons.

7. Every member so dismissed, and every member who shall leave
his employment in consequence of any other member being dis-
missed, shall be paid from the funds of the Association the sum of
one guinea weekly, until he has obtained other employment.
This Society, it will be seen, adds another to the extensive
list of combinations by which the ordinary course of
business is at this moment interrupted. All these plans
are mistaken remedies for irremovable grievances. It
would be well if all men could live in ease and abundance ;
but as we know they cannot, it is better for each individual
to apply himself to the labour by which he may earn his
subsistence, that' to waste his time in absurd endeavours
by " trade regulations" to fix a maximum of the trouble
he will undergo in obtaining his daily bread.

CITY, TUESDAY EVENINO.

A very few words will be sufficient to dispose of all the
Stock Exchange business of to-day. Consols for money
and the 26th were 691 i, and for the October account 90j4;
but really the only transactions in the market were those
connected with the approaching settling day.
In the Foreign and Share markets the prices generally
were reported the same as yesterday, for scarcely any bar-
gains were made to produce an alteration.

In Mincing-lane both Sugar and Coffee went off heavily
There were sellers of Nutmegs at 65., but they could meet
with no buyers.

Letters from Marseilles state that no new case of the
plague had manifested itself, either on board the brigs,
Les tiny Scent-sal-0 lienteuse Sabine, or in the Lazaretto.
The pestilential blotch which a sailor of the last vessel had
gathering in his side, and which was cauterized has since
stopped and began to heal. This man is in full health.
The second sailor wbb landed from the same ship is re-
covering from the pestilential fever with which he had
been attacked. This fever is not attended by any blotches
or buboes; but all the other symptoms which accompany
it sufficiently indicate the nature of the decease. The
French brigs l'Esperauce and l'Eugene, which also come
from Alexandria, are under the most rigorous surveillance
in the port of Pomegue. They are laden with cotton, and
have each had one man died of the plague during their
voyage. Three other ships on board of which the con-
tagion has existed are daily expected.--Journal 7'oulouse.
The Consiitatiunnel asserts, that a Consul-General and a
Vice-Consul have been appointed by the French Govern-
ment for the republic of Ilayti. The former is said to be
the gentleman who was French Consul at Rio Janeiro. He
is to enjoy an income of 30,000 francs. The Vice-Consul
is the well-known literary charactse, Mollien, who wrote
" Travels through Colombia ;" and his salary is 23,000
francs.

Letters from Bordeaux and Havre concur in stating that
the merchants in those two sea-ports have received the dis-
agreeable news, that, by a convention between the New
American Republics, they have resolved to take such
measures with respect to the import duties on goods
taken thither from Europe, that those arriving from
countries, the Governments of which have recognized the
independence of the Republic, shall be received on the
same terms as heretofore; that on the other hand, the ma-
nufactures of those States, the Governments of which have
not yet thought fit to recognize their independence, shall pay
a double, or, according to other accounts, a quadruple import
duty. It is evident that this measure, which is to be pro-
posed to the several Congresses of those States, and the
adoption of wbfch will meet with very little difficulty,
tends principally to the advantage of England, and the pre-
judice of France.—German Paper.
The following extract of a letter, dated Otranto, July
21, two o'clock, r.m., as far as private testimony can
II do so, confirms the statement of Ibrahim Pacha hay-
ing been made a prisoner of war:—" There has just ar-
rived here a merchant vessel from Corfu, which left that
place at four o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Captain de-
livered me a letter containing the following intelligence :
l'he Greeks have obtained a complete victory over !bra-
him Pacha at Tripolizza, and have succeeded in taking,
him prisoner. This communication is true and certain, I
and you may depend on it. I have, therefore, sent you
it by express, to-avokl the &figs of the post.' "
A Russian Courier, who left Constantinople on the 22d
July in the evening, has related that the whole Egyptian
army in the interior of the Morea is destroyed, and Ibra-
him Pacha himself taken prisoner by the Greeks. On the
same day that this bad news was received at Constantin-
ople an imperial firman, he said, was published in the
capital, ordering all persons to refrain from speaking on
political subjects. The merchants' letters that have been
received by this opportunity only say, in general terms,
that with the next post a great event will be made known
which will astonish all Europe.—Allgenteitte Zeitung,
August
The flourishing city of Hudson, in the State of New
York, has been almost totally destroyed by fire, which is
supposed to have been the work of some incendiary. A
great many private dwelling-houses were burnt down, be-
sides stores, barns, and outhouses. The fire commenced
in a stable.

Intelligence from Leghorn of the 29th ult. mentions the
arrival thi.re, on the preceding day, of the Cleopatra, mer-
chantman, having on board " the remainder of the famous
museum of Egyptian antiques which have been in this
city for these four months. There are five colossal moms-
ments of granite, among which is a sarcophagus, a beautiful
sphinx, and many other curiosities, which arc frequentl7
mentioned by writers on Egypt and Egyptian antiquities. '
