CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are the French, Ostend, and
Dutch Mails ; also a Mail from Rio Janeiro, by the Sheldrake,
sailed on the 22d of May, from Pernambuco on the 6th June.
We have likewise ship letters from Demerara, Sydney of the
23d of March, and Bombay.
We have received Sydney Papers to the 23d of March. Of
the South Australian Cempany they state, that ". on Thurs-
day evening, a dinner was given to Captain liindmarsh, to
celebrate the circumstance of his Majesty having graciously
expressed his approbation of the choice of that gentleman to
be the Governor of the new Colony in South Australia.
" A paper addressed to the British Parliament on matters
connected with the political affairs of this Colony, is going
round the town and country for signature. Of the nature of
the address we are unable at present to speak decidedly."
Extract of a letter from Swan River, of the 12th of Oct.
last:—" At Swan River, where I spent:s weeks, there is much
to induce the invalid to try and regain his health. The cli-
mate is superb; the rupee here passes for 2s. ; there is ample
room for putting out money at interest, say 20 to 25 per cent.
The only draw-back I know is the high price of provisions;
mutton, Is. 6d. per lb. ; beef (when to be got), the same ;
fowls, 7s. and Bs. a couple ; what they have sown this year,
with an average crop, will yield them 9 months' wheat ; pota-
toes for seed were 401. a ton when we arrived here."
(From the Hobart Town Courier of the 11th of March.)
" The price of corn continues unvaried since our last ;
wheat, from 9s. to 10s. per bushel : oats, none ; barley, from
ss. 6d. to 6s. ; mutton, 6d. to 7d. per lb. ; beef, 6d. to 7d. per
lb. ; pork, Bd. ; veal, scarcely any in the market; hay,
6/. 10s. to 71. per ton ; straw, 31. to 31. 10s.

RALF-PAST ONE.
The notice given by our Government for a contract of
75,000 gallons of rum for the Navy, has caused a good deal
of business to be done in the above article at an improvement
in the price.

FETE CHANIPETRE AT CHlSlVlCK.—Yesterday
his Grace the Duke of Devonshire gave a splendid entertain-
ment to a select party of the fashionable world at the Bur-
lington Villa. The company began to arrive at three ; at
four they promenaded around the flower gardens. At six a
dejeune a la fourehette was announced, arranged in the in-
terior of the mansion. The band of the Coldstream Guards
played on the lawn during the repast. At nine o'clock there

HANOVER, JULY 21.--The General Assembly of
the Estates of the Kingdom having terminated all the busi-
ness that was before it, was prorogued yesterday evening by
the Ministry, and the diet closed for this year.
ROME, JULY 12.—Yesterday the Pope held a
secret Consistory in the Quirinal, at which the appointment
to 4 archiepiscopal and 15 episcopal sees were announced.
Among them are those of Echstadt and Hildesheim. His
Holiness then published the appointment of 3 new cardinals.
They are Monseig. PietroOstini, Archbishop of Tarsus, born at
Rome in 1775 ; Monseig. Licessi Frezza. Archbishop of
Chalcedon, born at Lavinia 1783 ; M. Constantino Naso Pa-
trici, Archbishop of Philippe, born at Rome 1793. Lastly,
the nomination to the Legations of Ferrara, Ravenna, Anco-
na, &c., were announced.—Frankfort Paper, July 25.
Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham are very sore,
and grievously disappointed that the Liuke of Richmond has
not joined their little political avec The Duke is a man of
honour, and would not join any junta against his old friends,
nor would he oppose those measures which he approved when
a member of the Whig Ministry. Tho new proselytes to To-
ryism aro said to be exceedingly displeased in consequence of
the indifference with which they have been treated by their new
associates. They are little noticed by the leaders cf that party,
and probably would, if they could with any grace, retrace their
steps.

Earl Spencer has left Althorpe Park for Wiseton,
Yorkshire.
NARROW ESCAPE OF TIIE DUKE OF BUT-
LAND AND THE MARQUIS OF GRANDY, AT SEA.—Off the
coast of Norway, the magnificent yacht belonging to the Duke
of Portland, in a full gale of wind, nearly foundered. The
facts are as follow :—The Duke of Rutland was in his berth,
when he awoke and found the bedclothes drenched with water.
His Grace threw himself out, and found the cabin floor de-
luged : ascending the deck, after alarming his son, he was the
first person to communicate the circumstance to the man at the
helm. All hands were ordered up and they worked at the
pumps all night, even the Noble Duke and the Marquis, in
their shirt sleeves only. By the constant exertions of the Cap-
tain and crew the vessel was brought home without touching at
any port. This event happened about a fortnight ago, and their
escape, as the Captain said, was miraculous. The Duke of
Rutland arrived in town on Wednesday night at Sir Frederick
Trench's, in Bolton-row, Piccadilly,
On Wednesday afternoon, as a young gentleman
named Stephenson was rowing up the rivet' In his private
wherry alone, on his passing through Westminster-bridge he
received a tremendous blow on the head, from a stone nearly a
pound and a half in weight, which had been thrown from the
bridge by some mischievous person. Mr. S. was nearly
stunned by the blow, and bled profusely. Such a disgraceful
and cowardly outrage deserved a severe punishment.
Upwards of 2,000 tickets are already sold for the
Great Mary-la-bonne Festival on Wednesday next, and nearly
thirty distinguished Liberal Members of the House of Com-
mons have accepted invitations to attend.
IRISH PR Ess.—Extract of a letter from Colonel
Thompson to the Hull Radical Association :—" There is
nothing to prevent remark, of the extreme poverty of tin? I,ea-
son for which Englishmen are to pay 33 per cent. more tax.
They are to pay it, that Irishmen may be obliged to read bad
newspapers ;_that ;
-.1 45, worze newspapers than they would do if
the tax was absppt, For it is evidently part of the assump-
tion, that Irishmen would prefer English newspapers if they
had their choice ;—that the tax must be increased 33 per cent.
to hinder them from doing so. Englishmen therefore are to
have the tax increased 33 per cent., not that the Irish may
have good newspapers, but that they may have bad ;—not that
the Irish people in general may receive a benefit, but that they
may receive a mischief, to wit, by every one of them being de-
prived of 33 per cent. in the value of his newspaper ;—that
they may be made to read the bad newspaper which they would
fain avoid, unless tb.4 like to pay 13 per cent. more for ',llO
hetter np7,,,paper, which they bight have at the F. 4rne
And all this is to benefit—who? Not thg irivlt people, for
they are to lose 33 per cent. in..thc,,,cooll,fy of their article. Not
the English people, for thqre pay
a tax in order that the
Irish may lose. Iltit certain printers and publishers in Ire-
land,
who watt to print and publish bad newspapers, and
escape from the competition of better. And this is called
protection to the pies; of Ireland I' Such a poor naked
thing does protection turn out everywhere, when looked
into,"

In the south of France the harvest commenced
about a fortnight since, and samples of new wheat of fine qua.
lity have been shown at Bordeaux.
