THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.

DOVER, Nov. 21, 1839.
His Grace the Duke of Wellington has passed
another good night, anti is again better to-day.
He has decided on leaving Walmer Castle to-
morrow morning for Apsley House, and, it is said,
hopes to be able to attend the Privy Council at
Windsor Castle on Saturday.

Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Sir Astley Cooper, and
Dr. lime, will accompany his Grace to London.

We are glad to learn that, according to accounts
received at Apsley House this day, the Duke of
Wellington is considerably better. He has not yet
arrived in town.

The following has been received at Lloyd's from the

PROPOSED FLOATING LIGHT NEAR THE
SHOAL CALLED THE KENTISH KNOCK.
" The Elder Brethren of the Trinity House have
deemed it right to bring this subject under the notice of
the Merchants, Shipowners, and Masters of Vessels therein
interested, and to state their readiness to cause a Floating
Light to be placed in such situation, should it appear that
the trade generally is desirous of its establishment, and
willing to contribute such reasonable toll as shall be requi-
site for carrying this measure into effect.
" It is considered that all vessels crossing the latitude
of the said light-vessel on the Kentish Knock to the east-
ward thereof, on voyage to and from ports or places to the
southward or westward of the North Foreland or of Cape
Griney, and no others, should be liable to the toll referred
to, save and except all vessels belonging to the United
Kingdom and foreign privileged vessels when so navi-
gating wholly in ballast."

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCam.
LIVERPOOL, COTTON-MARKET, NOV. 21.—We have
experienced a filling off in the demand for Cotton to-
day. The sales are 4,000 bass, chiefly American de-
scriptions, at a decline of -A-d. per lb, ; 1,000 have been
on speculation.

The British Queen, from London to New York, was
spoken the 9th instant, lat. 46, long. 46.
Our arrivals this morning are the French and Ostend
mails, and ship letters from 143guayra and Calcutta, of
224 June, old dates.
A

_ccounts have been received from Monte Video, to the
latter end of September. Great alarm prevailed there, in
consequence of the advance of the troops from Entrerios,
more numerous than the forces of Rivera, the.present chief
of Monte Video. It was reported that a division of
400 to .500 marines were to be landed from the French
blockading squadron, to garrison the city ; soma private
letters state that they had landed. A strong appeal
had bee❑ published by the Government of Monte Vi-
deo, to the French residents, to arm and join in the
defence of the city. It was stated that the plan of
the commander of the Entrerians was not to storm the
town, but blockade it.

On the 2d September, General Lavalle's division,
comprised of 1,000 men, sailed from the island of Mar-
tin Garcia in two divisions, one of which landed at
the port of Landa, and the other at Don Basilio.
afterwards both divisions united, and were marching
upon Guatequay ; this would cause a diversion against
the invasion of the Entrerian troops, whose rear they
would threaten.

There was a talk at Buenos Ayres of a fresh issue of
paper money. The dates from thence are of the 12th
September. The exchange was 31 to 34.

We have received the Journal of Anlwcrp of yester-
day's date. Accounts from the Hague of the 19th
November state, that the moment the Avondbode
was going to press, they learnt that several mem-
bers of the two Chlmbers had made known their
displeasure at the communication made from the de-
partment of the Colonies, respecting the loan of
56,000,000.

ANTWERP, Nov. 20.—A report was spread on
'Change, that one of the most ancient banking-houses
in Amsterdam had suspended payment.

It is stated that intelligence of an important nature
has been received from Persia ; that the Shah of Per-
sia had complied with all the demands of the British
Government ; as yet, the above intelligence has had
very little effect on the British Funds.

The Hamburg mail of the 19th November has ar-
rived, bringing the Exchange on London 13 al, one
shilling higher than last post ; gold 429, one mark

-There is evidently a mistake in the Liverpool letter,
respecting the degree of longitude when the British
Queen. was spoken with—it should be 26 long. instead
of 46, latitude is right 46.

SUICIDE OF A LADY.-01i Tuesday afternoon
an inquest was taken at the residence of Anthony Austin,
Esq
~ No. .51, Cambridge-street, Hyde Park-square,
Ba)q:' swater, before Mr. Wakley, M.P., and a highly-rc-
spcctable Jury, on view of the body of Mrs. Priscilla
Austin, aged 42, the wife of the above-named gentle-
man, and daughter of the late D. Ricardo, Esq., m.p.,
who committed suicide. The deceased inflicted two
very deep and extensive wounds on the right side of the
neck, dividing the principal blood-vessels. Two pen-
knives were on the bad covered with blood. The sur-
geon said that the wound most probably was inflicted by
the left hand, and that life must have been extinct im-
mediately on the perpetration of the rash act. The de-
ceased and her husband lived together on the most
happy and affectionate terms. Verdict " Temporal
mental derangement."

EVENING EDITION.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROX THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
(From the Courier.)
There are no mysteries to-day in diplomacy. No
sooner is a determination taken, than it transpires
through the indiscretion of some agent or other. This
Ps particularly true of the Eastern question in its imme-
diate bearings on European politics. We all know now
the stage at which the negotiations have arrived, and the
labyrinth of intrigue through which they had to pass.
First, the Four Great Powers were unanimous, or at
least lure represented as such ; then France fell off from
the Clition, then Austria. At the present moment,
the Autocrat—to whom we have reason to believe Lord
Palmerston made, not many months ago, the needless
proposal of an alliance, from which he was only di-
verted by the joint opposition of all his colleagues,
is almost inclined to join in the determination of
France and Austria. But let us state briefly the na-
ture of the negotiations now pending. It is about
two months since France proposed to Mehemet Ali
an arrangement on the following basis :—For him-
self, Egypt and Syria, with the exception of the two
northern Pachalicks of the latter country, which were
to be bestowed on his sons, and the district of Adana,
which was to return to tae Sultan. The island
of Crete was only to belong to Mehemet during his
Own life ; at his demise it was to be restored to Turley;
,When these conditions were first started they met with
to approbation both of Austria and Prussia. Prince
Metternich, it is said, only dreaded one thing—that
the Pacha would not consent to them. Lord Palmer-
aiton, to whom they were also submitted, it is under-
stood, refused to hear of any thing of the kind ; and
'declared then, as he has done repeatedly of late, that
Mehemet Ali had no right to any thing beyond Egypt,
and that England never would consent to his
establishing his rule in Syria. The Cabinet
of the Tuileries, nevertheless, persisted in their
plan. They sent off a messenger to Alexandria
with the above proposals, to which the Pacha, after a
little hesitation, acceded. This answer has been received
by the last steamer, and engrosses, at the present =-
meat, we are informed, the whole attention of every di-
plomatist in Paris. What will be the result of the dis-
cussions now pending ? That Austria and Prussia
viewed the matter in the same light as the French Ca-
hinet, when the latter made the proposals to Mehemet
1 Ali which have met with his approbation, is certain.
That their opinions have not since changed is highly
probable. It; then, the P.Tha is seconded by three
Lech powerful allies, while Russia stands aloof; what
course does Lord Palmerston mean to follow ? lie has
threatened, indeed ; but is he disposed to follow up his
; threat; and take the castigation of the rebellious Pacha
t into his own hands ? We very much doubt it.
(From the Globe.)
We have received a pamdhlet by " A Merchant,"
entitled " How shall we get through the Winter" and
though we do not agree to the full extent with the writer
in the alarms expressed, and still less in the summary pro-
cess of cure recommended by him—we find enough of im-
portant truth in his statements and arguments to induce
1 us to make his brochure a text for a few observations.
The writer places " the laws on Corn and Currency in
immediate collision," and labours to show how the for-
mer act to set the latter in operation, to screw and
oppress the commercial and industrial cla=ses of the
population. That such a screwing process has been for
some time in operation, is a matter of fact ; and whether
it is a law of nature, or only a law of our present sys-
tem of landed and monetary monopoly, that we should
go through the same process whenever the same cir-
cumstances recur—is a question at least worth ask-
ing. It is a matter of fact that, with an inereasint,
population, and extending transactions, we arc sub-
jected periodically to be suddenly pulled up in
our dealings, to have all the facilities of credit abruptly
withdrawn, and all the power of the most powerful
monied corporation in the world exerted to effect a
contraction of currency and reduction of prices. The Bank
of England is endowed with its exclusive privileges,
in order that it may regulate the currency ; and re-
gulation of the currency may mean legitimately, for
aught we know, alternate expansion and contraction,
on rules framed to promote the profits, and secure the
safety, of a single Company. This twofold object pur-
sued by one gigantic establishment with all the mo-
nopolist power which the State, in its wisdom, has lent
to it—may possibly exactly coincide with the public
interest. On the other hand, it is possible that what
is nom called regulation of the currency is a Will-o'-
the-Wisp—a mere chimera—that a community which is
senseless enough to trust a body of Bank proprietors
with the public function of regulating to its private
advantage the currency (or conventional medium of
commercial exchanges) will have regulation enough in-
deed, but will have no steady currency ; and will he
doomed to alternate hot and cold fits of artificial excite-
ment and depression—occasioned simply by trusting
quacks to treat a case which requires no medicine.
(From the Standard.)

It is formally announced by the Ministerial
journals that the marriage of the Queen is to be ce-
lebrated in April nest. The Consort selected for her
Majesty is Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg, a
Prince so young (for be is the Queen's junior)
that it would be absurd to say anything of his
personal character. We have heard, bowev.er, that
he is an amiable and ingenuous youth, and we
earnestly hope that he will contribute to the happi-
ness of the Princess who is to bring him so near to
the malt splendid and exalted throne of the world.
It is, indeed, a promise of tranquillity and honour
to the Sovereign's future life, and of benefit to her
people, that she will have near her one faithful friend
above the temptation of official salary, or the lure that
influences needy dependents, who will tell her the truth ;
and, with the knowledge of character which a man
must acquire, and which a husband will not fail
to act upon, must purify " the private and social
circle" of the Court. One such friend the Queen had
at the commencement of her reign in her admirable
mother—but we believe it to be certain that the
influence of that excellent adviser, was early im-
paired by the arts of low agents, suborned %by
the Minister : the influence of a husband may be
supposed to stand upon a firmer foundation, and
sooner or later, if he prove a man of prudence and
good feeling, it will be exercised for the honour
of his wife and Queen, and for the good of her
people. On the whole, therefore, the country, we
think, has reason to rejoice in the prospect of the
Queen's marriage ; and while we adhere to the system
of excluding the natives of Britain from all approach
to the Throne—a system as impolitic in regard to the
interests of the Royal Family as it is insulting to a
nation possessed of an aristocracy, wealthier, more ac-
complished, more independent in spirit, and more highly
descended, than any Princes of the Continent, while,
we say, this system is adhered to, probably no family of
the Continent ought to be preferred in a Royal alliance
to the family of Saxe Coburg.

IRISH \VIT.—A Glasgow traveller, fond of a
joke, and a corpulent jolly-looking fellow, lately on a
business-visit to a town not above fifty miles from Irvine,
happened to be taking a walk in company with one of
his customers, when they met a "rough, rude, ready-
witted" Hibernian, driving a small cart drawn by a
jackass, when the following dialogue ensued :—" Well,
Pat, what kind of an animal is this you have got ?"
" Arrah, now, don't be after denying your friends when
you meet with them. Sure you have not forgot your
cousin, Mr. Jack Ass."—" Oh, ho so you deal amongst
asses." " Well, in troth I do, Sur."—" And what is
the price of a good one just now ?" "In troth, Sur,
that greatly depends on titileir appearance ; a little
Jacky like this un might be got for a pound—but, by
japers, a big fat caddy like yourself would cost thurty
shillans!"—Ayr Observer.

CARDIFF, NOV. !S.—EXTRACT OF A „LET-
TER.—You would not recognise Cardiff, which resem-
bles a garrison town. The station-house is head quar-
ters, and the old workhouse opposite accommodates a
company of the 45th as barracks. A sergeant's guard
is placed with our guns. We soon expect to be regular
soldiers. Drums beat morning and evening. The Go.
vernment may thank their stars for having had such a
Superintendent of Police, who. will render the system
more palatable than all the speeches of Whigs and
Tories put together in Parliament.

UNEMPLOYED.—We are sorry to state that
there is at present a considerable number of weavers
out of employment in town ; a meeting of them was
held in the Low Church, yesterday, when a committee,
consisting of four individuals from each ward, was ap-
pointed to take up the numbers at present out of work,
with a view to the laying of their case before the au-
tborities.—Paisley Advertiser.
t ACCIDENT AT A TAN PlT.—Yesterdav
morning. between nine and ten o'clock, Robert Wake-
field, a man in the employ of Mr. Sneedon, a tanner, in
Bermondsey, was wheeling a barrow over a plank, when
he slipped and fell into one of the pits. He was ex-
tricated with great difficulty, and
conveyed to the hos-
pital in a deplorable condition.
Seven houses were broken open and rohbbed last
Friday, in the village of Ruishton, within two miles of
Taunton. At Thorn, robberies were also committed in
the course of the week, and amongst others Li fat pig'
was stolen from Mr. Jacob ; some of the thieves amused
the family with singing as if drunk, at the door, whilst
others slaughtered the pig on the premises, and carried
it off.—Taunton Courier.
