a4hjeet, and still less should we have pledged ourselves to

. -
the truth of what we averred with regard to the terms of
the contract, unless we had felt ourselves completely war-
m:44d in so doing. We were fully aware of the responsi-
bility we incurred to the many who might be induced to
make purchases upon the faith of our statements. If

tinting any period of the interval between our first allusion
o the subject (now some time ago) and the present mo-
anent, we had fkound occasion to qualify what we had
affirmed, or at all to withdraw our confidence on its au-
thenticity, we should have confessed the tryith frankly, and
at once. Our silence yesterday arose solely from the fact
of our having nothing to add to the information we had
already communicated. It cannot, however, we think, be
*lacy hours before such intelligence must arrive as will
wive all doubts, and fully justify the accuracy of every
statement wsbave made relative to this transaction.

The Colonial Intercourse Bill was read a second time
last night in the House of Lords. This important mea-
sure was stated by Earl &A THEIST to amount to a com-
plete abandonment of our ancient colonial system. The
colonies will henceforth enjoy all-the advantages of inde-
pendence, together with the exclusive privilege of bringing
their produce to this country, and of carrying it from one
part of the colonies to another. The great political changes
that have taken place in the Transatlantic regions have ren-
dered this measure necessary. It will be attended by con-
sequences equally beneficial to the mother country and the
colonies. It will protract the period of their separation, and
whenever that event may, in the natural course of things,
take place, it will deprive it of the injurious effects which have
morally accompanied a colonial struggle fer independence.
Te Marquis of LA SOMON N claimed it as "his thunder,"
. but he was well reminded by the Earl of Ltotaroot, that
■ineteen years ago the satrie•systern was not applicable to our
colonies which circumstances now require us to adopt.
The independence of South America has entirely changed
the question of our colonial policy.
The Irish Joint-Stock Company Bill, •and the Equitable
Loan Company Bill, were also read a second time, and
ordered to be c enmitted this day. 'f he Earl of LAUDER-
DALE gave notice, that unless the latter Bill underwent
great alterations in the Committ.•e, he would oppose the
third reading.
In the House of Commons, Mr. Huxa brought foulard
Ms motion respecting the Church of Ireland. He avowed
that his ohject was the subversion of the Protestant Estab-
lishment ; and he intimated very plainly his opinion, that
it was desirable to substitute a Roman Catholic Eatablish-
meet. Not, however, that he was particularly anxious
what religion prevailed, for he took especial care to inform
the House several limes that he viewed with equal indif-
ference the existence of a Christian, Mahometan, or Hie-
;too Establishment, if the people were generally disposed
to prefer the latter. His plan for putting down the Pro-
testant Church was, to " double up" (we use his own
words) the 22 Irish diary's into four, which- for the future he
proposed thou Id consti tu te the number of Protestant Bishops•
Mr. Hum t: was veryearnest in denying that he had any de-
sign to spoliate the Church. Far from it, he only intended to
" resume" all its property ! He broadly hinted that the Clergy
might consider themselves too happy in having their free-
holds continued to them during their lives. " How is it,"
asked he, " with the Army and Navy ? They, too, are
servants of the public, and as much entitled to considera-
tion as the Clergy." Why, then, of course there can be
do objection to pack off I}lC Clergy at once on half-pay.
Mr. Hume would probably have said so explicitly, in so
many words, but he bad not forgotten the reception of his
•proposal to allow 1001. a-year for the education of the
;,:young Prince who is in all likelihood dostieed to sway the
_British sceptre. eseeeeesei
Among the Statutes that have passed daring the present
Seusiou of Parliament, respecting Ireland, none, we think,
is better adapted to produce permanent and extensive bi-
ne& to that country than the Irish Provincial Banking
Bill, which received the Royal Assent on Friday last. It
was justly remarked by Mr. Ilusatssoe, in one of his
speeches on the commercial policy of this great kingdom,
that, " as we bad refused the majority of the Irish people
the relierfrom civil disabilities which they solicited, we
were the more bound to compensate for this refusal by
advancing as far as practicable their commercial prm-
perity, and by encouraging every measure calculated as
draw forth the internal ,resources of the country and mg-
me/at the national wealth." The incorporation of the Irish
Provincial Banking Company is certainly a measure of
this character. Its formation, we understand, originated
in the following mermen—Shortly previous to the great
distress which prevailed in 'lreland, nine out of twelve of
the country banks had failed, and necessarily involved the
population of their respective neighbourhoods in extreme
misery. Such was the shock given to public credit by
these failures, that confidence was altogether withdrawn
from banking establishments, and the few that survived
the general ruin did not realise sufficient profit to repay
their ordinary expenses. To remedy so great an evil, a
meeting of English and Irish Gentlemen was held in
London in the early part of last year. The result was
the formation of the Irish Provincial Banking Company,
with the view of enabling Ireland to carry on the banking
system with greater advantages than she then enjoyed. It
was proposed toeffeet this object by assimilating the law
for 4reland to that of Scotland, where there is no limit to
the number of partners in a banking establishment.
The Bill which has just received the Royal Assent has ac-
complished this desirable result, and we may anticipate
from it consequences the most advantageous to that once
distressed and agitated, hut now, we are happy to say, tran-
quWisecl and fast-improving country. In Scotland there
are 128 banks licensed ; yet the Bank of Scotland, in
1818, paid its proprietors a bonus of 2u per cent., besides
the ordinary annual dividend of 9,11; per cent.; and in the
month of April last it paid a similar bonus of 20 per cent.,
besides, since the reduction of the rate of discount, a yearly
divideLd of 8 per cent. The Royal Bank of Scotland, in'
1818, added a bonus of SO per cent. to its capital, and the
British Linen Company, the Commercial Bank, and
others, are equally prosperous. A clause was judiciously
introduced into the Irish Provincial Banking Company
Bill, permitting Englishmen not residing in Ireland to he-
come stockholders. The'whole measure is well calculated
to promote the intercourse and cement the union between
Great Britain and Ireland, and is worthy of the wise and
liberal policy of his MAJESTY'S Government. Some delay
occurred in the progress of the Bill through Parliament,
by the usloption of some clauses to prevent the chartered
rghts of the Bank of Ireland from being invaded. This
paint having been satisfactorily adjusted, the important
Bill became part of the law of the land. By means of it a
sound and sufficient medium of circulation will, we have
no doubt, be established in Ireland, and the many evils
which the people of that country have suffered. from the
unsound state of the cumin', will be, if not at once re-
moved, at least considerably mitigated, snd at no distant
day finally and cornpletdy aunibilated.

CITY, TITIIDAT EvealyG.
The appearance of the British Funds this morning yes exceed-
ingly firm, and persons most conversant with them are of opizilea
that there is every probability of their continuing so. Indeed, If
they are really what they have always been understood to be, to a
certain extent at least• a barometer of the state of the country,
t:ttre is every reason for their advance, for it is prosperous In all its
interests. Consols for the opening were 91 all day, and the Re-
duced Annuities 90$ 90. Exchequer Bills have considerably im-
proved this morning ; they were from 30s. to 35e. premium.
Spanish Bonds still attract all the attrition of speculators in the
Foreign 31atket, and large biogains were done in them. The
parties who are anxious to. cause a decline In them, were milks
raged by our silence this morning to commence their operations
with great spirit, and so far succeeded as at one time tolerate the
bonds of 1821 to 23f, and those of Ira to 181 ; but they soon ral-
lied, and at the close of the market the former were at 244, and the
latter at 191. The cheering news from Greece has had a favour-
able effect on the Stock of that interesting country. The Scrip was
done at 11 101 discount, and the Bonds at 48 9. South American
Securities were bctter. Colombian Bonds were 86 4, and Mexican
Scrip 3,1 I discount. Danish Scrip was 4 34 discount, and Bra-
zilian ditto If discount.
The Share Market was without interest. Some bargains were
done in Anglo-Mexican Shares at 85 90 premium ; and in those
of the United Mexican Company at 24 6. Pasco•Peruvian Shares
were at 124 4, and the General Mining Association's Shares

at 12 13.
The transactions in Mincing-lane were not numerous, but they
acre indicative of steady prices both in Coffee and Sugar. There
were scarcely any inquiries for Rum.

PROGII?Aa Or EDUCATION IN EECC—Extract of a
letter dated Zante, April 8 :—" At Athens, in November
last, a school was opened on the Lancasterian system. The
plan was very much approved of, and the children were
very eager to ohtain admittance. The two head monitors
are, Michael Kalkokondiles and reneges Skapaseus. They
regret that their illnesses prevented them accompanying
the other boys to England: they are now very anxious to
o.; •and 'I certainly would have taken charge of them as
far as London. if 1 haul been going direct, or by sea. Be-
fore I left Athens, which was the middle ofJanuaty4 an-
other school was opened, the scholars increased so much as
to require it. *Dr. Anagero Petraci is one of the Committee,
and is very active and anxious in the management of die
affairs. The children ate educated gratis ; the masters
are Priests, from Smyrna. The 'library is also being ar-
ranged. The subscribers to ibis Philomoson Society are in-
creasing. The new Paper called the Ephemeris of Athens,'
was published in September : l'sylla, the Editor, tonduets
it on liberal principles, andadapts his•style of writing to
the capacities of those who are the least enlightened.
The democratic sentiments prevail at Athens and in
Attica; but in the Mersa (whether it arises from the con-
tinual discord among the chiefs, and 'the unsettled state of
affairs, I cannot say) the people are for a monarchy, and
hope that a King will be sent 'them from some of the
Courts of Europe. Since the defeat of Colocomoni's party,
and the receival of the Loan, the Government are become
very strong. Colocotroni, Sisini, and some of the others
of that party, are now in arrest at Hydra ; a Commission
is formed to try them. The Greeks have never passed a
law for the crime of rebellion, though one had been pro-
posed, but put off on account of other more important bu-
siness. I was in the'Senate at Nauplia when, after a warm
discussion, our liberal practice of permitting the prisoner to
challenge the Jury, was granteti to them."
Advises have be-en received from Odessa, by an official
channel, that the Russian Government, in order to abolish
the abuses that have subsisted in that port, has adopted
several regulations, cue of 'which prescribes that the bill
of lading shall contain an accurate specification not only of
the number of the bales, packages, &c., but also of the
weight of such article; and in case of fraud, the penalty
is to be the payment of triple the duty, if the fraud
amounts to above .5 per cent., and the confiscation of the
;goods if it exceeds 10 per cent. It is also ordered by the
Imperial Government, that every Captain of a merchant-
man shall be bound to produce at the Custom-house two
bills of lading, and, if one is wanting, be is to pay a fine
of two silver rubles.
A letter dated Genoa, June says—" Yesterday ar-
rived here from Milan the Emperor and Empress of Aus-
tria, with the Viceroy and Vice• Queen of Lombardy and
the Venetian States. They were preceded by the Prince
and Pr•ncess of Carignani, the Prince Metternich, the
Duchess of P..rma, the Archduchess of Tuscany, the
Prince and nine •ss of Salerno, and this morning the King
and Qut en of Naples arrived."
It has been stated that the Duke of Northumberland
gave 600 guineas to the coachman of the King of France,
who drove him when lie went to invest the King with the
Order of the Garter. This is not quite correct. There
were four carriages, and the Duke gave 10,000 francs be-
tween the four coachmen. As ten louis to each is the
usual present on such occasions, the Duke was ten times
more liberal titan custom required ; and his generosity on
this and other occasions has won the hearts of many of the
Parisians. His Grace lives in almost regal state in Paris,
but at the same time with much true hospitality. Among
the household are two eminent English hair-dressers, who
were taken over for the purpose of dressing her Grace and
the ladies by whom she is accompanied.—Evening Paper.

that Lords Dillon, Lucan, and Ilowth, have likewise
signified their assent to the Resolutions.—Dublin Evening

According to a new census the population of Naples
amounts to 319,190 souls, exclusive of strangers. During
the last year seven suicides only have taken place in that
city, winch make two for every 100,000 souls. The
average number of suicides committed annually at Paris,
which has 713,966 inhabitants, amounts to 330, without
including 60 or 80.individuala found drowned, without its
being known :how it happened. This makes 49 suicides
for every 100,000 souls.—Cuurrier Francais.
There will be a grand Cavalry Review at Hounslow on
Friday next, the 17th instant. Nine or ten regiments, or

the King is also calculated upon. The Duke of Cambridge
and a brilliant attendance a Staff Officers will also be ow
the ground.
The ceremony of laying the first stone of the new
New London Bridge to-day, will be exceedingly grand.
The expense attending the magnificent display will, it is
said, exceed 2,000!. The Lord Mayor's feast at the Man-
sion House will be on the most splendid scale—upwards
of .500 distinguished persons are invited; amongst whom
is his Rsiyal Highness the Duke of York.

Bataxox, JUNK 13.—The Palmerston steam packet ran
aground yesterday morning, about three o'clock, on the
sands, close under the Nash Point, between St. Dennis
and Marcross; all the crew and passengers, with part of
their baggage, were saved; and it is hoped that the steam
boat will be got off the next tide. There were about 130
troops on board, and .50 passengers, among whom were the
Rev. Dr. Cummings, his wife, and fatuity ; the Rev. J.
Taylor, and Mr. Ilillhouse.
A new sect, the members of which call themselves "The

over them. This wits one of the finest ascents that has been At.
mined. After a pleasant voyage of nearly an hour, Ali. Utahans
and his fair companions alighted in perfect safety at Feldman, be.

DISTURBANCE AT BUCKI.VGIIAM-HOU SE.

In consequence of the extensive alterations and additions that are
being made in this Palace, there are nearly 400 artitans of every
descrtption at work on 'the premises, amongst whom are no less
than 120 carpenters, under the immediate, direction of Mr. Firth,
his Majesty's carpenter, appointed by Mr. Nish, the architect.
These men, notwithstanding that most of the trade have entered
into a combination to resist their roasters, by refusing to work on.
less they were paid s'. 6d. a-day, sixpence above that asually al-
lowed, go to their labours thankful. 'Phis it would appear to
given great offence to that body who still hold out, for in order to
induce the others to join in the combination an immense body of
the belligerent party, amounting to several hundreds, besieged the
building on Monday last, between 11 and 12 o'clock in the fore-
neon, and so systematically was it arranged, that they formed
themselves into parties, and took their stations at the several
entrances into the spacious budding, having previously posted a
large placard, addressed to the " Journeymen Carpenters," wait-
ing for the workmen to come out to go to their dinners. On their
leaving, they were surrounded by the insubordinate party, who called
upon them as men to strike immediately. The men generally de-
claredit liemselves satiafied. However, perceiving that the belligerents
came with a determination to compel them tilligjite by force, most of
them being provided with sticks, and one segi observed to have a
drawn sword, which he brandished about hi a menacing manner.
The men communicated the circumstanra to Mr. Firth, who in-
stantly presented himself amongst them, and expostulated with
them on die impropriety of their conduct, and begged then, repeat.
edly to dispense quietly, lest legal measures were taken against
them. This did nut at all appease them, but seemed to stimulate
theta to violence, as they forced open the gates, anti many gained
the interior of me building in opposition to the door-keepers, whew
they repeated their threats to the peaceable workmen. At this
Oiled the proceedings ware an 'alarming aspect, and numbers of
the workmen, through fear, consented to leave their employment
and juin the rioters, and Mr. Firth finding them to be extending
themselves all over the buildings, and dreading the consequences,
again admosishird them not poly on the impropriety of their beha-
viour, but on the illegality of it as well, yet he could not get them
to disperse, and 'her actually attacked those men who were averse
to their intentions with stones, brickbats, &c. The greatest confu-
sion followed, and Mr. Firth, unperceived, proceeded with all
haste to the Queen's guard-room, and procured a piety of the Cold.
stream Guards, under serjeant Starborough, who marched into the
building, whilst others were stationed on the outside. Theappear-
ance of the military in some degree quieted the intruders, and
through the praiseworthy conduct of the serjeant and his guard, the
dissatisfied party dispersed in all directions. One of the refractory
party, who had forced himself' into the building, and acted as a
ringleader, was taken into custody, but was subsequently set at
liberty, on giving hill name and address.
Yesterday Mr. Firth attended before blesses. 'White and Oro.
gotie, the Magistrates, at Queen-square Police-office, to whom he
communicated the above particulars, and stated, that from what he
had beard he anticipated another, disturbance of a similar descrip-
tion, sold therefore reqrasted to know in what manner he was to
act 010014 the disaffected party again make their appearance.
Mr. White told Mr. Firth that should they again disturh him, to
deepatch information directly to the office, and he should have the
assistance of all the strength of the establishment.
In the course of the conversation, Mr. Firth observed, that he
had received positive orders from his Majesty, Omagh Sir. Nash,
rat tmallow any individual, no matter bow exalted in rank, to enter
the premises whilst the works were going on, in order mat no in.
terruption should take place.

CONON E ICS INQUEST
Yesterday an an Inquest was tido on the body of William Beck, at
the Mitre public house, Islington, before Thomas Stirling, Esq.
Coroner. . _ . .
.. . _

The deceased was found drowned in the Regent Canal on Sunday
night last, and the body was conveyed to the vault for the recep-
tion of casualties, in Islington Church.
These witnesses only were examined—two youths who first disco-
vered the body floating in the Canal, and the eldest son of the de-
ceased. One Cf them (a very little boy) stated that he taw some-
thing resembling a cocoa-nut in the water, and endeavoured to
strike it with a stick. The other (a youth about sixteen, the clear_
flees of whose evidence, and the trouble taken by him throughout
the business, the Coroner highly commended.) stated that lie
had prevailed on two gentlemen to allow their dog to go into the
water to move the substance: they complied, but the dog, on reach-
ing the spot, hastily swam back, and would not return to the spot
when put into the water again. The lad then prevailed on two
bargemen, who were passing into ths basin, to move the floating
substance, and see what it was. The corpse of the unhappy man ,
was then discovered, and, by means of a towing-line, was brought
to the shore. Having seen a hardbdl of a man, said to be a white.
smith, being missing, whose friends lived in Itlarchmont-street,
Coram-street, lie found out :he place with some difficulty, and ac-
quainted the wife of the deceased with the description of the person
found, when her two sons went to the turnpike, and recognized the
body of their father lying on a shutter. This witness said he had
no knorledge of the deceased nor his family previously.
The son of the deceased, a decent young man, about 22 years of
age, was next examined. He seemed very much affected, and was
desired by the Coroner to be seated. He said he was the eclat of
ten children ; two were of the same business with the father, and
worked with him—five were very young. His father, he said,
went out to his business at the usual hour, a little after six, and
tailed one of his children, mentioning the time of the morning;
took money for his dinner; a person (who lived in the same street
with the father) observing the deceased rather dejected, asked him
if he would drink a glass of any thing; this lie declined, saying
he was going to his work and w ,uld not drink. This I onversation
took place on the road to Oxtbrd-street, the direction his father
would have taken had be went to work ; his father did not attend
that day. His master, from the regularity of his habits for a
number of years, sent to his wile to inquire the cause of his ab-
sence; front that time till Sunday night nothing could be heard of
him. The witness said his father was a very sober man, and never
absented himself front business before. About seventeen years
back his father had an abscess in his head, and was occasionally
very low-spirited ; noticed it particularly on the Sunday previous
to his death, when he thought his father spoke rather strangely.
He seldom spoke at all. Had no family quarrel nor uneasiness,
nor were his family unusually embarrassed. His father's age was
fortysthree.
The Coroner having read our his deposition, hinted very mildly
en him that everythinghe wished toelicit had been given, and if he
pleased he might withdraw.
The Jury, on his retiring, went over to the vault and viewed the
body (which was black and putritiesl), accompanied by the Coroner,
who on his return addressed them nearly as follows :
Gentlemen—This case, perhaps, though in humble life, viewing
the misery that must ensue to the family of the deceased, is as me.
lancholy a one as any that ever came before ma_a wife left with
ten children, and the greater part of them unable to provide for
themselves, bereaved of the assistance of ao industrious husband.
That the weight of such a family is likely to have borne heavily on
his mind is very probable; and, from what we have heard, the
presumption is, that he drowned himself; and if so, we cannot but
suppose it was under the influence of mental temporary derange-
ment, arising, perhaps.uniteilly, from the complaint in his head mid
depression of spirits. He was a sober tun, and must have thought,
if right in bit understanding, that if his family were in distress
during his life, their misery could but be augmented by his death.
No eviduce., however, of his having destroyed himself appearing,
though the Jury, with myself, may think that the unfortunate
man did so, still the safer verdict would be--" Found drowned."
The Jury, after a little consultation, accorded with the suggestion
of the Coroner, and a verdict of "Found drowned, but by what
means unknown," was recorled.
