LONDON, SUNDAY JULY 26.

The proceedings in Parliament have this week
been without interest.—Mr. Hume's motion on
the Sinking Fund, was disposed of by the Chan-
c..llor of the Exchequer's moving that the debate
should be adjourned to that day three months—this
was what might have been expected, for at so late
a period of the Session it would be impossible to go
properly into it—the fully and wickedness how-
ever, of incurring the expellee attending the Sink-
ing Fund, while the very opposite measure of the
Half-pay List operates exactly against the principle
of that fund, and creates additional patronage and
expense, are too evident to need even assertion,
excepting to those who fatten on the spoil.

STOCK EXCHANGE, SATURDAY, Two O'CLOCK.--
A good deal of business has been doing this morning
both in buying and selling, and the market looks
steady at Wig tbr the account, and for money 801.
We understand the Chancellor of the Exchequer has
issued, or borrowed upon Exchequer Bills, to the
amount of near Cour millions since the dividends
have been paid. The new and old Fours are 99k,
which is a rise of 4, per cent. to day.
It is stated on toe authority of a letter in a Paris
Journal from Cadiz, that the yellow fever had mani-
fested itself in a vessel coming from Spanish Ame-
rica, and that on its arrival in the Buy of Cadiz, it
was sent to the Lazaretto at Mahon, under the escort
of another ship.
On NVednestlay evening, about 8 o'clock, Major
Davison, aide-decamp to the Duke of Cambridge,
arrived at the King's Palace, in Pull-mall, with a
letter from the Duke to his Majesty, announcing the
intelligence of the Duchess being safely delivered of
a daughter, and that both the Duchess and the Prin-
cess were doing well.
Letters from Madrid represent the jealousy be-
tween the King end the municipality, to be such,
that notwitl:standing the appearance of tranquillity,
peace is hairpin tieing yet definitively accomplished,
between the cordlicting parties in the capital of
Spain,

The will of the late Most Noble Francis Ingram
Seymour Conway, Marquis of Hertford, was pr%veti
in the Preroeative Court, Doctors'Commoes, on the
tth inst. by Isabella Ann Ingram, Marchioness a
Hertford, the relict, and Francis Charles lt:eytuour
Coutvav, Marquis of Herdlird, the son, two of the
executors, power being reserved to Lord Henry Sey-
mour, the brother, who has at present assumed the
trust. The testator, in the first place, devises his
iieehuld and copyhold estates in the comes, of York
to the elarchioness, for life ; and after her death, di-
rects the same to be sold, and the purchase-money to
Le subject to the general directions as to his residuary
price Ms lordship gave fur them, to the person who,
at the time of such sale, shall be in the possession of
the mansion of Temple Newsom, with I 511. to defray
the charges of conveyance.) All other freehold
estates, either in England or Ireland, arc devised to
Lord Yarmouth for life, and subsequently to his son;
Lord Beauchamp, and his heirs male; the reversiou
is then to attend the provisions created by certaire
deeds made some years since concerning the Bagley
estates. All household furniture, horses, carriages,
carts, implements of husbandry, provisions, stuck,
&r. at Reeley and Sudborne. are bequeathed to Lord
Yarmouth ; and the leasehold estates arc given to
property, are to be offered fur sale at the
trustees in the same manner, and fir the benefit of
.he persons entitled to the said freeholds of inherit-
ance, escaping, however, llertford-house and grounds
in Manchester-square, and all property therein, with
the carriages, horses, and every thing appertaining,
and also the house adjoining, which are left to the
Marchioness for life, and she is invested with the
power of leaving the same by will to any person she
thinks proper, for the term only of such person's
life, when the said houses, &e. are to be subject to
the previous trusts. This power, however,. is, by a
codicil, revoked. All monies in the funds, and in
any public companies, are given absolutely to
her ladyship, with an observation, that although
the, testator desires that she should have full
benefit of the request, if she is so desirous, yet
that he feels confident of her recollecting the con-
versation that lately passed between them respecting
it. Five thousand pounds are bequeathed to Lord
Henry Seymour, the Marquis's brother, who is ap-
pointed an executor e a codicil revokes the bequest.
To each of his other brothers, 1,0001. To his ne
phews, Captain Seymour, of the nity4y, 10,0001.
and to Ilorace Seymour, and Col. Hugh Seymour,
5,0001. each. To the Middl, sex Hospital, 1,000.
There are other considerable legacies to relatives
and friends, and those to servants are numerous and
large ; several of them are specified for 5001. each,
besides handsome annuities. The residue is to he
applied to the purchase of freehold estates, which
are to descend, in the manner before stated, to the
present Marquis and his heirs.
On Tuesday last, Cambridge house, the town re-
sidence of her late Majesty, was sold at Garraway's,
by order of her Majesty's Executors. It was stated
by the auctioneer, that a few years since 12,0001.
had been refused fur the lease: the highest sum his
utmost exertions were able to obtain on Tuesday
was 5,850 guineas. The name of the person on
whose account the purchase was made did not tran-
spire in the room, but there appeared to be no doubt
that a lona *le sale of the property was made.
An exposure of monstrous depravity has taken
place within these few days, all allusion to which we
have hitherto suppressed. Mingled feelings of sor-
row, humiliation, and disgust, have been in part
the causes of our silence ; and the respect we owe
to public decency might still have induced us to
persevere in our reserve, it' we could have thereby
checked the horrible tole in its progress to notoriety
amongst all ages and both sexes, which we fear it
bus already attained to. The person accused of be-
ing the chief criminal—P. Jocelyn, Bishop qf atikr
—has, it is affirmed, forfeited his bail, and quitted
fur ever the country which his presence had pol-
luted. Bail in such a case What sum could be
named which the wretch would not have sacrificed?
We know not whether to rejoice or grieve that he
has fled from justice. We know not whether the
trial of such a criminal for such a crime, might not
have cost more in the way of corruption, than even
his death by law, could have paid in the way of sa-
tisfaction to good morals. It is dreadful to remem-
ber, that a poor and perhaps innocent man was sen-
tenced to transportation front his country, on the
oath of this mitred reprobate, for only threatening
to charge him with that of which ho ILW stands
(by his flight) confimedly convicted. It is more
dreadful to think how the church of God has been
scandalized and disgraced.
The miseries of Scio are not yet terminated; the
Seringapotam frigate, in passing the island on the
7th of May, observed that it was then in flames.
. Previous accounts stated that very few houses had
, escaped the first devastation of the Turks, and it s
probable that these arc now destroyed, and th.e. whole
, island is depopulated, anti a heap of ruins. file

accounts from the lonian Islands represent them as
perfectly quiet and healthy,

Extract from the Gibraltar t hromiee of the 4th
July:—" The Si. Pablo Spaniet ship of the line is
arrived at Cadiz front Algiers, and confirms the ac-
count of the unsatisfactory turn which the negotia-
tion between the Spanish and A Igerine Governments
had taken. The Spanish Vice-Consul had left Al-
giers, and the Government has made these circum-
stance:, officially known, in order that the Spanish
merchantmen may be upon their guard against any
hostile attempts of the Algerine cruisers."
Oa Monday last, his Mjesty held a Court at his
Palace, in Pall-mall, principally fir the purpose of
bolding a Chapter of the most noble Order of the
Garter, in order to confer the order and ribund, va-
cant by the decease of the lute Marquis of II:Ilford,
Knight Companion of the Order, when George J.
Chohnondeley, Marquis of Cliohnondeley; was de-
clared duly elected. Garter principal King of Arms
and the Usher of the Black al attended the two
jundn. Knights present, and the Earl Bathurst and
the Marquis of Londonderry, making their usual
obeisances to the Sovereign, left the chapter-room
for an adjoining room, and introduced the Must
Noble the Marquis of Cholraondeey, Garter King
of Arms bearing the Insignia of the Order, with
which his Majezty was graciously pleased to invest
the Noble Marquis, who had been prcviou:dy
knighted with the Guelphic Order. The Chancel-
lor then prenounced the usual admonitions to the
Marquis, who afterwards received the congratula-
tions of the Knights Companions present.
Doyen, ULV 21.—Yesterday morning, at the
early hour of two o'clock, their Royal highnesses
the Crown Prince end Princess of Denmark and
suite arrived at Wright's (Ship hotel), to embark
on board the li'qyal Sovereign yacht,on their return
tc Daueark by way of France. Their Royal high-
nesses having travelled post for some distance, stop-
ped here the whole of yesterday to repose themselves
after the fatigue of their journey. In the course of
the day they went and looked over our famous cas-
tle, after which they returned, and each, as well as
the principal part of their suite, took a warm bath.
About nine o'clock this morning their Royal High-
nesses went off in a boat belonging to the Custom-
house, the ro:al standard hoisted over their heads,
and were :coon on board the yacht, under a royal
salute front the guns at the heights, the flags flying
at the castle, heights, &e. The yacht, which had
previously weighed anchor, then sailed, with a fine
breeze at west-south-west, and was likely to land
their Royal Irtglines.,es at Calais in tivo and a half
or three hours from the time (.ff embarkation.

COURT or Cii INCERY.—A few minutes after ten
o'clock on Tuesday morning, all the parties in at-
tendance in the case of Horatio Reeve, the young
man who committed a conteihrt of Court, in running
away with a young woman of'llte name of Drusilla
Street, at Exeter, lately made a Ward of the Court,
were brought bufore the Lord Chancellor. The case
was heard for nearly an hour in his Lordship's pri-
vale room, and ended in the committal of Horatio
Reeve and his brother to the Fleet. The mother of
the Ward has been allowed till the latter end of the
we A, to answer some affidavits.

Mr. J. Emery, of Covent-garden Theatre, after
an illness of three weeks, caused by an excessive in-
ward debility, brought on, as it is supposed, by a
diseased liver, and which at last attached itself to
the lungs, breathed his last a few minutes past eight
o'clock on Thursday evening last, at his house in
Ilyde-street, Bloomsbury. lie was in his -17th
year: and has left an amiable will: and seven young
children to lament his loss, for whose future support
and maintenance, however, there is every reason to
fear he Ws not made the most sltniler provision.—
Mr. Emery has always been a decided favourite in
his own inimAiate line of acting, viz. the lorkshirc
*7lB6c—the stage, it is universally allowed, never
produced his equal; und, in all probability, " we
shall never look upon his like again !" He had
excellent natural abilities, was a good musician (to
which profession it was intended by his parents he
should have been brought up), and lie was likewise
a good artist. To his duty in his profession, Le was
ever most strictly attentive ; so much so, that when
dining in public, or the society of his friends, and
the time drew near which required his attendance at
the theatre, his watch was invariably placed upon
the table; and he was never known, during the
whole course of his engagement at Covent Garden,
to disappoint the public but once—and that was
tram the subject of the accuchein.:nt of his wife.—
His natural and unsophisticated apology to the
audience on that occasion, cannot fail to be very
generally remembered. In the death of Mr. Emery
the stage and the public will suffer a very severe
loss; his wife and family the deprivation of a most
indulgent hu'band and father—and his friends and
associates that of a warm hearted, generous, and in-
t companion.
On Thursday last the widow of Ilenry Sander-
son, who was executed at Nottingham, last March,
fur shooting at Sir G. White's gaine-kecper, was de-
livered of /sips. This unfortunate woman has now
six children to protect.

her brother's, at whore house she remained ever since;
but he was now no Itineer either able or willing to sup-
port her. Repeated tocrntres had been made to Mr. F.
to coine to some arrangement, but they were scornfully
rejected, and he positively refused to show her a shilling
for her 111)11W:fiance, unless lie should be compelled by
law to do so. In this dilemma she sough: the advice of
a profession ti man, who recommended her to go home
and try if Mr. Fll4lll would suitor her to rem tut then.",

S.r It. B.rtlie said there was something in die back
