LONDON, TUESDAYi Acot sr 16, 11s.

By the Paris Papers which we received last night, it
appears tharthe depression of the French funds continues.
The Five per Cents. closed on Saturday at 102 f. 9oc. ; the
Three rev Cents. at 71f. 60e. This sudden and extraor-
iiinary decline in the valne of French stock has given rise
to a multitude of reports in the political circles of Paris-
A change of Ministry seems to be confidently expected.
It is said that M. de Vit.t.st_r; anticipating the event,
had himself tendered his resignation, and that his place
had been offered to one of his predecessors in the depart-
ment of finance. No artifice has been neglected to prevent
'the failure of the plan for the conversion of the Rentes ;
yet. in spite of all the power and influence used to in-
sure its SIICCP£S, never was any failure more complete.
The arrival of the telegraphic despatch, announcing the
recognition of the independence of Hayti, had evidently
been calculated for the critical moment. But it had no
perceptible effect upon the Paris exchange. The departure
of the Messrs. RO7lllOlllllll for London, it appears. was
delayed till Saturday. On the previous day they had
another interview with M. de Vii.t.st.a. This conference,
it is said, was not, only long but animated. The Editor of
the Journal des Debuts writes in high spirits. " If it were,
indeed, true," he says, " that M. de VILI.,ta had resigned
(and we do not sec how he can remain in office), the public
would and that the evil consisted in his presence alone.
Things would of themselves return to order. Thank God
and the good sense of the rentiers, the Five per Cents. are
not destroyed, and an able Minister of Finance who would,
instead of stock-jobbing echemes, introduce a sound system
of administration, would at once restore public credit." lie
goes on to predict that in that event all internal dissentions
would cease, and party spirit be extinguished for ever !
From thee, articles, however extravagant they may be, it is
clear that the enemies of M. de VILLELE entertain strong
hopes of driving him from his post.
The state of Spain becomes more distracted every day.
The French Ministerial papers admit that there is no
longer any doubt as to the necessity of military interference
on the part of France, in order to keep down the Royalist
Ultras, who are known by the name of Carlistos, or par-
tisans of the Infant Dun Caat.os, whom they intend, if
permitted, to raise to the throne, instead of his incompe-
tent brother FERDINAND. The KING is so much alarmed
that, according to private letters from Mr.drirl, he cer-
tainly meditates a retirement, for his personal safety, into
France. The funds have suddenly fallen at Madrid to 22,
a price to which they have not descended for many years.
It was reported that the Trappist had taken arms in the
name of CHARLES V., and was at the head of several
thousand men. The terror and rage of Fennte A Nro Vii.
are represented to have no bounds. He had promised a
reward of 23,000 piastres fur the apprehension of the
'Trappist, dead or alive.
These Papers contain no news from the Mores.

CADIZ, JULY 20.
(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
The Rita frigate arrived yesterday from Manilla. it brings de.
snatches from the Government of the Philippines; nothing has
transpired. and therefore it is apprehended that their contents ara
no• satisfactory.
The day before yesterday there was a bull tight at Port St.
arc's ; but just as it was begining a fire broke out at the four
corners of the amphitheatre with such fury, that many persons
perished, and others ran out with their clothes in flames. The
iQcendiarisa are not yet known.
The armed bands which hare appeared in marl parts o:

Andalusia begin to approach Cadiz. One of iltesibaras stopped, 1
tile di} before rtistcr4,3y, nee Xeres, the courier coming to Cadiz,
and toot from him the Government despatches, but did not
meddle with the private letter, or hurt the courier.
The letters which we receive from Algesiras state, tbm from the
18th to the 22t1 of this month alone, half the regiment'Princessa,
which is in garrison in that town, deserted. This desertion, say
the letters, comes from the state of misery and privation of the
soldiers, who resemble beggars rather than military securing the
State.

The Colombian corsairs have vanished from before the port of
Cadiz. For there ten days we have seen only one, which did but just
show itself. and put to sea again a few hours afterwards. It carried ,
18 guns, like all the others that have arrived off this port:

PARIS, AVG. 13.
A change in two words, in an ankle of the Etoik yesterday, has
entirely impaired the meaning of a paragraph.
The thirty millions resettle of which we spoke are the actual
revenue of the colony. and not that of the ancient colonists.
The Etoik gives the blowing up of a powder manufactory near
Tours, by which twelve workmen were killed, and much damage,
done.

The great subject which interests the public attention at
this moment is, the prevailing spirit of dissension on the
part of the working classes, in almost every branch of trade,
regarding the rate of wages, and certain other points of
difference, which have thrown the manufacturing classes,
both id Great Britain and Ireland, into a somewhat singu-
lar and unprecedented state of warfare. A most numerous
meeting, of not less than thirty different trades, was, on
Wednesday last, convened in the City of Dublin, for the
express purpose, as was stated, of disavowing " the dread-
ful system of outrage and violence that has of late been
unfortunately carried on to such an extent in that city."
Every one must approve of such a meeting, and of its ob-
ject. It is fitting that the more rational and enlightened'
shoal sephate themselves from the ignorant and disor-
derly,
in order that the justifiable object of the one—pre-
mining it to be justifiable—may not be defeated by the fe-
rocious and head-strong ptoceedingn of the other. The
latter, it is manifest, are not only inflicting evil upon them•
selves, but are bringing discredit and odium on the com-
mon cause.

The resolutions of the meeting, which are signed by two
persona on behalf of each trade, are drawn up in a spirit
which makes fair approaches towards negotiation. The
workmen appear designedly to avoid every inflammatory to-
pic, and strongly proclaim their determination to abstain
from pursuing their end by any other than legal means.
The two following are the leading resolutions :

Resolved—That whilst we advocate and uphold the five principle,
that every man should seek for the just value of his labour, ac-
cording to the circumstances of his trade, we, at the same time,
deprecate, in the strongest manner, the horrid barbarities that have
of late disgraced this city ; and that we will, by every means in
our power, discountenance and put down such illegal practices
in our several trades, which, if persevered In, must be highly
detrimental, not only to the workmen themselves, but to trade in

general.
Resolved—Tkat although we have candidly stated out feelings
on the above-mentioned outrages, we cannot admit that the work-

ing classes are the only persons so blind to their interests as not to
have kept in view the mild Intention of the Legislature, in repeal-
ing the Combination laws; but that if both masters and workmen
had recourse to and acted under the present Arbitration Laws, by
meeting and mutually adjusting their differences (which method
has unfortunately in few instances been resorted to), It would at
once have put a stop to the angry feelings of both parties.
The " operatives" in Ireland will, we hope, govern their
proceedings by the example of their brethren on this side
the Channel: of whom—with the exception of the Sun-
derland seamen—it is but justice to remark, that those to
whom the arrangement of their claims have been delegated
seem to have been men of singular good sense, and to
have conducted themselves with great steadiness and
moderation. _ _ _

That Parliament did wisely to repeal the Combination
Laws no disinterested person, we think, can doubt. If, in
the first fervor of emancipation, the workmen should run
riot, there will be found, we have no doubt, a sufficient num-
ber of reflective and well-informed men among them to re-
gulate any wayward impulse which may fur a time mirth ad
them. Except in cases of tumult—which ought always to
be met by the most effective measures of suppression—
it is better that the law should not interfere. The differ-
ences between masters and workmen are always best settled
at a congress called by themselves. Their reciprocal con-
nexion, and all the transactions arising out of it, have their
basis in voluntary compact. With the terms of this com-
pact, or with the change in them, the legislature has
nothing to do. It makes no part of its concern to settle
the balance of power. Its authority, if it acts at all, should
act at a distance. It is an axiom well known in mechanics,
that weights have effect in proportion as they stand remote
from the centre.

CITY, MONDAY EVENING.

The British Stock market had a very heavy appearance
the whole of the day, Consols for money opening at 89ii,
and closing at For the approaching account on the
26th inst. they were done at 89;fi, and for that in Octo-
ber at 901. The business in it was very scanty, and the
market closed in rather a depressed state.

Respecting the new French scheme, conversation and,
consequently, reports are afloat. From an authority upon
which we think that we can rely, we learn that the measure,
which was never popular among the rentiera, is becoming
every day leas so in Paris, and by many of them it is as-
serted that it must be abandoned. The unpopularity of
the King also greatly embarrasses M. de Villele in pro-
ceeding with an operation that has tended materially to put
the people in an ill humour. The assistance from St. Do-
mingo will do something for the Minister, but it will fall
very far short of what his wants require for the completion
of his plan.

In the Foreign market, the time of brokers and job-
'bers was absorbed in settling their difference', which very
necessary business was performed to the satisfaction of all
parties, as far at least as the regularity of fulfilling engage-
ments goes. The settling day, upon the whole, was not a
very heavy one. The trickery in the Lower Rhine Stearn
Navigation Shares might have affected a certain class of
brokers, had not the Committee of the Stock Exchange in-
terfered in the settlement of the bargains founded on this
barefaced attempt to make money, honestly if you can, but
if not, to make money ; but, as it was, we heard of no de-
faulter. Great anxiety is expressed regarding the affairs'.
of Spain, and the changes that are likely to take place in
them ; and as it is very naturally thought that any change
must be for the better, the securities of that country are
held lightly; the Old Bonds at 224 k, and the New at
Although no positive confirmation of the capture
of Ibrahim Pacha has been received, still the best inform-
eil persons in Greek affairs become more confirmed in their
belief of the truth of the report; and the consequence was,
that Greek Scrip was steady at 1. 14i. South American
Securities were at Saturday's quotations.
At:glo-'Mexican Shares again declined. They were to-
day at 73 no. Castello Shares were also worse; those of
the United Mexican Company advanced upon Saturday's
price about I per cent. ; to-day they were 22 4. In other
Shares no alteration was reported. Indeed, very little bu-
siness was done in the Share market beyond the paying
and receiving of balan s.

has occasioned a great gloops in Killarney, and indeed pre-
vented the gentry from girutaj a stag hunt in honour of the

met his death under somewhat extraordinary circumstances.
There is a sporting club in Killarney, consisting of the
gentlemen in the neighbourhood. The members of this
club met some time ago, to determine upon the toasts that
should be given for the ensuing season. The health of the
Duke of York was objected to, on the ground of his having
opposed the Catholic claims. One gentleman, however,
was desirous that the Duke's health should be drank as a
private gentleman. This was warmly opposed by Captain
`Vise, who concluded his objection by observing, " that
his Royal Highness had trampled upon their religion."
The word " religion" was scarcely out of the unfortunate
gentleman's mouth, when he fell upon the ground, and
almost instantaneously expired.

to regret that you were not able to discuss the question with
the friends of the Bible Society. I take it upon myself,
Sir, to say, that the advocates of the circulation of the
Scriptures will meet at any place, in Carlow, Dublin, or
any other part of Ireland, any number of Roman Catholic
clergymen, to discuss for such a time, and before such an
audience, as shall he agreed upon, the right of the laity to
the Scriptures, the right of private judgment, the authority
and infallibility of the Church ofßome, or any other points
in dispute between the two communions, connected with
those controversies. If you, Sir, and your friends accept

this challenge, we will name • committee to confer with
you about preliminaries. If you decline it, the public
will again learn to appteciatt your vaunted wish for free
discussion."
DISSOLUTION OF THE NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC ASSCI.
CIATION.—A meeting was held on Saturday, at the Corn
Exchange, but in consequence of the absence of the Bar-
risters on Circuit, the oratory was of a minor cast ; and the
whole went off as tamely as could be wished by the moat
staunch friends to social ordtr. The only thing worthy of
observation is, the notice of a postponement of their meet-
ings to the Bth Nov. next, which, it is currently and confi-
dently rumenred, is the preliminary to its final dissolu-
Constitution.

Some discoveries have lately been made at Pompeii.
A small gallery, opposite the baths, leads to a large apart-
ment—on the left side of this gallery, the colour of which
is yellow, there is a Genius, holding a brae It of laurel.
On each side of the Genius is a small compartment, in one
of which a temple is represented ; and in the other, pro-
ductions both of the sea and the land. On ascending into
the upper apartment, we perceive, also on the left, a fine
figure of Venus, the upper part of which has been much
injured by unskilful digging. On the right we find an ex-
quisite picture, which has consisted of three or ntore
figures. It represents a Phrygian sitting, and beside him
a very majestic female figure, with features full of expres-
sion. Near this is another picture, composed of about
twelve figures; one is sitting ; another, a warrior, leads
forward, by the hand, a veiled female. This picture is also
extremely beautiful. A picture on another wall is curious.
It consists of a group of three figures, one of which is a
female, who appears being measured for a new dress. In
an apartment to the left of the above-mentioned Venus,
some interesting discoveries have been made. In one pic-
ture, which has been partly destroyed, there may be seen a
beautiful Triton, and a Loy, with a trident in his hand,
sitting on a Dolphin.—The Parthenon.
There have been lately discovered at Pompeii the re-
mains of several most elegant baths, consisting of entire
vaults, variously decorated, together with a bath of white
marble, capable of containing twenty Individuals. In a
chamber contiguotra were also discovered two bronze sophas,
and a large vase of the same metal. No less than five
hundred lamps, of different forms, have also lately been
dug up from the ruins.

JCNE 7.
Yesterday morning, the Governor of Bermuda, Sir Wm.
'Lutnlev, sailed in a public armed vessel of his Majesty
for Halifax. from which place he immediately proceeds to
London. He is very wealthy; and his living here cost
him about Is,ooo dollars annually, a rather difficult mat-
ter, one would think who looks at the barrenness of the
island, to get rid of as much money in the year.
The colony receives the greater part of its supplies of
provision from America, and many things arc smuggled
in. The supplies from England are generally unsatisfac-
tory. Swarms of idle negroes infest the island, a group of
whom you meet at every turn. Their masters have no-
thing, or very little for them to do, and they cannot sell
them out of the island. There is but very little agricultu-
ral business here ; but it is shameful to see the large quan-
tities of rich soil left untilled, while so many blacks are
idle, and many in want of comforts and sometimes neces-
saries. _ .

The public works are vigorously prosecuting on Ireland
Island at the dockyard, on an eminence, at which place
a building is erecting for the Commissioner (Comman-
dant of the place), which, it is said, will exceed when
finished the sum of 300,0001. (This may be right or
wrong.) A tower also, on one of the highest hills of Go-
vernment. Baween 300 and 400 convicts arc employe)
there.

The letters brought by the Waterloo, from Jamaica,
state that the rains have been so heavy that the shipments
have been impeded ; but they will be exceeding service-
able to the next year's crops.
Jamaica Papers to the 221 June have been received at
the Jamaica Coffee-house, but they contain no news.
Letters from Gibraltar of the 25th July, bring informa-
tion that the cotton licenses are now signed ; but no orders
for the admission of goods have been received at present.
A letter from Madrid, dated the Ist of August, states
" A new Araneel (7'arile) will be printed shortly, and
that the alterations, which are said to be numerous and
favourable to commerce, will be acted upon the beginning
of the year. Nothing, can be depended upon in
this country under this Government. We must trade
upon facts and not speculate upon promises."
Yesterday we received the Allgemeine Zeilung to the 9th
instant ; it contains intelligence relative to the war between
the Greeks and Turks, the greater part of which seems to
confirm the reported capture of Ibrahitn Paella. All the
principal facts have reached us by other channels, at ca-
rious periods during the last fortnight. It appears that the
late despatches from Constantinople were wholly silent re-
specting the rumoured defeat of Ibrahim Pacha.
Letters from Corfu of the 13th of July, and from Zante
of the 7th, corroborate the previous accounts of the defeat
of Ibrahim Pacha in the Mores, and state that he has been
wounded, but not taken prisoner.
The Diario di Roma pompously announces the baptism
of two young Jews and three Moorish women. One of
the Mahometan women is an Egyptian, named Fatime,
daughter of Ali and Alima ; another, five and twenty
years of age, was born at Tripolitza, in the Peloponnesus,
is daughter of Soliman and Adema ; the third is twenty-
seven years of age, and is also stained Fatime; she was
born at Alexandria, in Egypt, and is a daughter of Adam
and Eve. It would be difficult for any family to name
more illustrious or better known ancestors than those of the
young Fatime.
Extract of a letter, dated Berlin, July 28 :—" The
following events have cast a gloom over our city, and
thrown the inhabitants into the greatest consternation. A
young man, who had enlisted as a volunteer in one of the
battalions of the Royal Guard, had nurtured a violent
passion for a young female, who returned his passion with
the same ardour. They swore eternal constancy to each
other, but the parents of the young soldier having refused
to give their consent to the projected union, they formed
the fatal resolution of blowing out each others brains,
which they effected, it appears, by a couple of pistols, and
their bodies were found in a dreadful state. The same
clay, a young labourer, who had become captivated with
the charms of a young peasant girl, whose parents had
also refused their consent to a union, formed the fatal
resolution of destroying the object of his 'affection, which
he effected with a sharp knife, stabbing her in different
parts of the body, and he afterwards put an end to his
own existence, by swallowing a large quantity of sulphuric
acid."
We learn that his Majesty die Bing of Prussia has been
extremely well satisfied with the spirit which has guided
t the members of the provincial states of Brandenburg, Po-
merania, and Western and Eastern Prussia, which have
just finished their first session. This trial of the represen-
t tative system has produced the happiest effects. The
• Government has been prompt to meet the wishes expressed
by the different assemblies, and the whole objects of which
were to introduce ameliorations necessary to be introduced

in the different branches of the local administration. Ac-
cording to a resolution of the King's, the provinoial
states of the provinces of IVestphalia and of the Grand
Duchy of the Lower Rhine will open their first session
in the course of the ensuing winter.—Constilationnel.
Quebec Papers to the 15th July, and Montreal Papers
two days later, reached us yesterday. Two vessels, the
Norfolk and the Juliana, had arrived from China ; they
are the first ships that ever entered the St. Lawrence
from Asia, and the circumstance forms a new epoch in the
history of the Colony. They sailed from Portsmouth on
the 2tth of August last, arrived at Canton on the 24th of
January; they separated on their return after leaving St.
Helena, and -did not see each other until they reached
Quebec on the same day. His Majesty's ship Orestes had
arrived at Quebec, with 30,0001. in English coin, for the
Commissariat Department.
Three persons only, it appears, have perished in the late
fire at Salina. A girl was found alive in a cellar in which
the fall of the surrounding buildings had shut her up
whilst she was depositing some moveables there in order
to save them from the flames. She lived there deprived of
light for the space of five days upon some bread which was
fortunately left upon a shelf in the cellar. The courage
.of M. Considerant, Principal of the College, has saved
that building from the flames which repeatedly reached it
in the course of the two days that the fire lasted. A No-
tary also saved a deposit of 15,000 francs which had been
confided to him, whilst he left in the flames a considerable
sum belonging to himsclf.—Paris Paper.
COMBINATION OF WORKMEN IN FRANCE.—The
Journal de Rouen of Thursday last contains the following
paragraph respecting the refractory and riotous workmen
in that city:—t` The investigation into the late affair is
carried on with great activity ; the Authorities are in pur-
suit of those rioters who have not yet been arrested, and
we may be assured that none of them will escape justice.
Prompt examples of just severity will prevent the return of
similar disorders, of which the working classes would be
the first victims, by its leading to the ruin of the establish-
ments which furnish them with the work from which they
draw their means of subsistence. The Mayor of Houlmc,
who has manifested much zeal on the occasion, has per-
suaded a part of the workmen of M. Levavascur to return
to his manufactory and continue their work."
The Journal de Paris says, "a new importation of 243
English sheep, of the real Leicester breed, has just been
effected in France. They have arrived in the best condition
at the domain of Petit Val, commune of Sacy, canton of
Boissy St. Leger. This flock is from the farm of lighain,
belonging to Messrs. Rives. the most considerable farmers
in the county of Leicester."
Monsieur Petard, who was wounded in a duel with Mr.
R. Smyth, about seven miles from Calais, on Friday last,
died in six hours after. The ball had lodged in the back,
touching on the heart in its passage, and surgical aid was
of no avail. The deceased was a captain in the French
army under Bonaparte. He was the challenger.
PORT ON THE OURR.—The Memorial from the Borough
of Leeds to the Lards of the Treasury, prayilig that Goole
may be licensed as a port, for the import and export of
goods from and to foreign countries, has been this week
circulated, and has obtained the signatures of 163 of the
bankers, merchants, and other inhabitants, including all
the principal mercantile firms in the place. We do not
recollect ever to have seen a more respectably signed public
document. Similar memorials arc preparing at Bradford,
Halifax, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Rochdale, and Man-
chester; and from the facilities that the projected esta•
blishment will afford to the trade and commerce of all
these large manufacturing districts, little doubt can exist
that the application will be as cordially urged in other
plac2s as it has ben in this.—Leas Mowry.
