A letter from Bayonne, dated the sth of Au-
gust, says that several women engaged in smuggling had
arrived there that day, and reported that there was great
agitation in several villages within the Spanish frontier.
A proclamation received from France had been read at
' Pampeluna, and widely circulated in spite of the vigilance
of the Spanish authorities.--Paris Paper.
HAYMARKRT TIIRA.TRE.---Last night a
new farce, in two acts, called Husband at Sight, was
performed with merited success. We cannot compliment
the author upon originality of composition, the whole he-
ing little more than a translation of the French vaudeville,
called Le Marriage impossible, lately performed in Lon-
don by the Parisian company, and of which it is unneces-
sary to give the plot. The interest of the piece results
from the individual situations rather than the conduct of
the plot. Gustavus Gundershe; the steward to the
Baroness, is a quaint, positive, off-hand sort of a charac-
ter, and was admirably supported by %nem, Catharine
was ably sustained by Mrs. 11UHRY, and Augusta.Polinshy
was interesting in the hands of Miss Meanautra.. -Ferdi-
nand Louisburg (Vitituu) is one of those profligate lovers
who form a strong feature in a drantitie picture, and con-
sequently was a favourite with the audience. The over-
ture and incidental music, composed by C. E. Hoax, is
lively. At the conclusion the curtain fell amidst general
applause.
The Stationers' Company held their annual
venison feast on Thursday, when between 300 and 400 of
the livory sat down to a splendid dinner at their Hall on
Ludgate-hill. Mr. Alderman Kee, the Master, was in
the Chair, and presided with great ability. The healthy
of his MAJESTY and the QUREN were received with the
loudest applause., and drunk standing, with the usual
honours. In the course of the evening, the worthy Chair-
man, in a neat and animated speech, alluded to the recent
occurrences in France, especially as connected with the
attack on the Press, which had terminated so happily in
the entire defeat and overthrow of its unprincipled assail-
ants. This address, which served as a preface to the toast
" The Liberty of the Press," was repeatedly interrupted
by the plaudits of the company, which at its conclusion '
rose to absolute enthusiasm, and several minutes elapsed
before they had entirely subsided. Messrs. Baoapiluitar,
Goor.ntx, CHARLES TAYLOR, &c., were present, and
enlivened the meeting with several patriotic and humour-
ous songs, and the festivities of the evening were prolonged
to a late hour.

It is said that the Directors of the Bank of
England intend to propose, at the next Court of Bank
Proprietors, to return a considerable portion of the surplus
Stock. It is added that they are prepared to make the
repayment in Three per Cent. Consols, instead of money,
considerable purchases of Stock having 'been made by them
for that purpose in May and June last. We give these
reports as we heard theta, without vouching for their
truth; but at the same time we must observe that we have
reason to believe that there is something in them. On
the other hand, however, it is argued that it is highly im-
probable that the Bank should have made any very con-
siderable purchases of Consols, overloaded as that eats-
blishment is with Pension Annuities and Exchequer Bills.
The subscribed capital of the Bank is 14,187,0004, which
sum has at various times been all lent to the Government,
and three per cent. is paid for the use of it. Besides this,
which is the capital Stock of the Bank, the proprietors
are net supposed to poems any amount of surplus (after
paying elf all their debts) beyond 1,180,0004 or
1,200,0004 sterling. It is asserted, therefore, that if the
Directors advise any division of capital among the pro-
prietors, it can only be to this latter amount—that is,
about one-seventh or one-tenth of the subscribed capital.
If any resolution should tie submitted to the proprietors to
