LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 11.
Three o'clock, p. w.
It is currently reported, and generally believed,

that Parliament kill assemble for the dispatch of
business io Novendwr. It is said that Ministers
intend to propose n renewal -of those disgraceful

Li uvensiml Acts . which they lately produced
through Uev ra -Oliver and Castles, and the
Green•bag machinery ; this we do not believe ; we
think it anech more Jikely that the general, and
almost.unanimous voice of the country, will, ere
that. time, arouse the Prince Regent from his pm-

• sent misconception, by convincing him that Iktutt-
, DPI is inuolcr, and that those who approve of such
acts as thus.: of the 16th August, cannot remain in
his councils with safety to himself or the country.

From nastadt it is stated that Sundt was consi-
der..-d to be out of danger, and that his fate would

The Stock Market during the whole of Saturday,
up to the close of its transactions, lwas :gloomy and
depressed. The causes of this depression ate more
olscure than usual The state of the account is
iapposed to remain ,nearly the same as last week,
and to be against the speculators thr a rise, and • the
quantity of money in circulation, applicable to ore.
rations in the Funds, has experienced no diminution.
The rate of continuation is about 5 per cent. - This
is the more remarkable, as Saturday was the last day
for making the payments into the Ebehetiner cur
the financial quarter„ ;0104 generally product% a
scanty of money, many payments, where it is
practicable, being delayed to , the latest neanent.
The moncy:market, therefore, wants no support;
but, it' it wererequired; the approaching dividends
might be looLed to as a resource. Those on Bank
Slock will be paid this day, and those on Three
per Cents Redoced, Four per Cents. and Long
Annuities, on Wednesdv. The bankers sign for
their dividends during this day and to morrow.
The on:y explanation of the fall in the funds is to
be referred to the quarter's revenue, or rather to
the general expectatien of its unprAlactiveness, on
whieli a 11.1 v speculators appear, to have acted
extensively. Nothing official has hitherto trans-
pired on the subject, nor has even a Lint been given
that could be traced to any official source. From
the best information we have been able to obtain,
we apprehend that the deficiency in the quarter
ended on Saturday, compared with the correspond-
ing quarter of 1818, will be found to he between
seven and eight hund.el thousand pounds. Some
persons anticipate that the deficiency on the whole
year up to this day compared with the preceding
year, will be nearly tour milho is

The famed American frigate, Chettapcahe, a crack
ship of their navy, which became the Shannon's
glorious prize, and was condemned at. Plymouth,
has been pit rehmsed by Nlessrs. Pushman and Holmes,
of Portsmouth, who are under bond to Government,
to break her tip the next spring. She has been
brought round to Portsmouth harbour, by Captain
George Goble, of Boshaut, with a crew of 19 men
only, under jury masts, iu the most seaman like
manner, and is a great object of attention among
nautical men. She is, ttuquestionahly, as fine a hip
RS ever swam ; her timbers are remarka'uly stout ;
I;er upper deck is 174 feet in length, and 41 feet 6
i ass in .the midships; she mounted 54 guns of
h .avy metal, and was the Shannon's soperlor in
e..ery respect tut discipline. Capt. Sir P. -I.lruke's,
manoeuvre of boarding her under cover of the
smoke of the second broadside, was what they did
not expect, nor were prepared for, and to this may
be attributed the happy. result x‘hich has covered
the Captain, off cers, and crew of the Shannon, with
immortal honour.

Dr. RATCUrre.—One evening as this Gentleman
was sacrificing in a tavern to the purple 1,,na1, to
whom he was as much devoted, as to the god of pl.y.

fellow, finding entreaty useless, Fnatehed up the
Doctor, and cal riAl him out of the tavern. The mo

ma him, in a very emphatic planner, the tisllowing
:threat :—" Now, you rascal. I'll care your wife in
Tevenge.'—The Doctor kept his word.
