have ever seen."—Literary Gazette.
" It throws new light on a race which has long stood
single among the nations, retaining from age to age a cha-
racter in which lofty viitues and odious vices are strangely
combined. Burckhardt has done much towards elucidat-
ing the manners of the Arabians, and communicating an
idea of the real condition of that extraordinary people.
This work has thrown new light on the subject of Bedouin
love, courtship, and marriage."—Edinburgh Review.

Grain this week ; and there • being a tolerably free demand for
Wheat and Barley, particularly of fine quality, such may be
quoted Is. per quarter dearer, but there is no improvement in the
value of inferior samples. Oats, Beans, and Pease, fully support
the quotations of Monday.

SMITHFIELD MARKET

This day's supply of Beasts was, for that of a Friday, tolerably
numerous; of small stock rather limited. The trade with Beet
was dull, with Mil ton, Veal, and Pork, somewhat brisk, at little
variation from Monday's prices. Mitch Cows, of which there
was a tolerable supply, were dull of sale at drooping prices, but
few short horns producing more than 191.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We have no arrivals this morning, consequently there is a
great dearth of information. The King's Speech is generally
looked upon in the city as favourable in regard to Reform, and
the public are now satisfied that he is staunch in the cause.
The chief topic of conversation relates to the answer ex-
pected from Holland and Belgium in regard to the decision of
the Five Powers. The Dutch are a nation that will take every
thing they can get, and no doubt will accept of the terms. The
Belgians are expected to make a strong opposition to the treaty,
and as this is the day when the Congress meets to discuss the
terms, we may expect to hear some violent speeches and
a great deal of dissatisfaction in their meetings, which may
last for several days. Our city politicians arc now speculating
on the return to this country of King Leopold, as according to
his oath he will not be able to accept of the terms laid down by
the Five Powers; but we have a different opinion on the sub-
ject. The Congress may make a new law, and rescind that oath,
therefore we have no doubt that he will continue King of Bel-
gium. The above supposition, with the Stock Exchange specu-
lators, has had an effect on the funds, and damped the market.
Consols. which left off yesterday at 81 X 82 for the account,
opened at the same price, since which they have receded to
814 i, and at present they may be quoted at SI X.
The Dutch mail is expected, which bring one day's later
information.

There is nothing doing in the Foreign Market.
HALF-PAST ONE.
Up to the present hour we arc very dull in the city, for want of
information, and the funds have also been langu'd this morning,
but within a short period they have resumed a little activity,
owing to a report that the King of liolland has accepted the
terms, but as yet we do not hear it from an official source. Con-
sols have been fluctuating during the morning flmm 82 down to
81:%, up again to 81X 82, at which price they are at present with
little doing. We do not as yet hear of the arrival of the Dutch
mail.

In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing.

FINE ARTS.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF HEATH'S PIC.
TURESQUE ANNUAL.- 1832.

We have just seen the Illustrations of this Annual, which
may be justly styled "picturesque," since it is lavishingly em-
bellished with some of the choicest landscapes, executed too in
the finest style, by some of one finest artists, we have ever seen.
The engravings are twenty-six in number, many of them from
the designs of Stanfield, one of the ablest and most effective
landscape paintcrs of the age. They are, of course, of various
degrees of excellence, but though some are far better than
others, we'can with perfect truth declare that there is not one
that is not above mediocrity. Neither time, labour, nor ex-
pense seems to have been taken into account in producing a
veritable picturesque annual. The view of Inspruck, en-
graved by that admirable artist Heath, from a painting in Stan-
field's best manner, is remarkable for the delicacy and finish of
its execution. The perspective is in the strictest keeping, and
a wide range of landscape taken in with consummate skill.
Trent is a spirited engraving by 'Miller, full of life and variety.
The subject is manifestly a difficult one to handle, but the
artist has done it justice. Porto D'Ossvla breathes the very
spirit of romance and beauty, a scene which Moore might illus-
trate in verse, and Irving in prose. The bold decided foreground
—the faint ranges of distant mountains, melting as they recede
from view, till they gradually blend with the long line of hazy
clouds above and around them—the intermediate space between
the foreground and the distance, filled up with slender streaks
of silvery rivulets, snug, sheltered farm-steads, romantic
lages, and teeming meadows-,give a life, a richness, an ani-
mation to the landscape, which must be seen to be properly ap-
preciated. Of the remaining landscapes we have merely left
ourselves space sufficient to say, that they are well selected and
equally well executed.

On Monaay,the 17th instant, Colonel WooD,
the Member of Parliament for Breconshire, arrived at
Brecon about five o'clock in the evening. In consequence
of his voting against the third reading of the Reform Bill,
his constituents are much dissatisfied. His effigy was car.
tied through the principal streets of the town, and burnt
amidst the yells and groans of the populace, on the Priory.
bridge, within 50 yards of the Priory House, the seat of
Marquis CAMDEN, where Colonel WOOP resides during his
stay in that town.

ther, the home consumption being still on the increase.

ment with a leading silk house.

itireased to 105 ; so that whatever alteration had taken
place was in favour of, and not against the representation
of Ireland. With regard to that, however, as well as to
all other points, he was perfectly ready to enter into a full
explanation of the views and motives of the Government
when the question was fully before the House. With re-
gard to the question of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Sir
R. Peel) on the subject of the additional information that
might be required, he had only to say there was no objec-
tion to afford all information ; hut he hoped the Govern.
ment would have notice of the time it was required, as the
persons now employed in obtaining information for the
Government were already so hard pressed it would be
very inconvenient to burden them with much additional
labour. The limits of the boroughs would, he believed,
not he fully settled before the recess.
Mr. S. WORTLEY asked when the Scotch and Irish
Bills would be brought in ?
Lord ALTHORP said not before the recess.

Sir R. PEEL hoped that if the Bill was read a second
time, the Government would consult the convenience of
the Members, by naming, before the recess, the day on
which the Bill would be committed.

Lord ALTHORP replied certainly.
Mr. CALLAGHAN entered his protest against the
course pursued with respect to Ireland, and declared that
unless there was a great extension of the franchise gene•
rally in that country, as well as a great addition of Mem-
bers, he, and he hoped others, would withdraw that sup-
port they had hitherto conscientiously afforded to the Go-
vernment.—Leave was then given to bring in the Bill.
Copies of the Instructions given by the Secretary for
the Home Department to the Parliamentary Commissioners,
with the returns made to the Home Office, being then
ordered, on the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the Noble
Lord brought up the Reform Bill,
On the question that it be read a first time,
Sir R. INGLIS objected, on a point of form, that the
title was printed instead of engrossed, according to custom.
Mr. HERRIES having suggested that the pr tics,
although contrary to rule, was frequently permiad for
public convenience, the Bill was read a first time, ordered
to be printed, and to be read a second time on Friday next.

THE FUNDS.

The chief attention of the public this morning relates
to the new Reform Bill brought forward last night in the
House olCommons, which differs but little to the former one,
and the new amendments are very favourably received in
the city.

The story in one of our Morning Journals of a revo-
lution at Madrid is not credited. The same report was
very industriously set afloat at a certain coffee-house in the
city on Saturday last, supposed for a stock-jobbing pur-
pose in Spanish Bonds, but very unfortunately for the in-
ventor, for up to the present time Spanish stock has only
got up 11- per cent.
Console, which left off yesterday at 83 a for the Ac-
count, are at present 83N.

ALF -PA S T ONE.
We have received the French Paper, Le Temps of
Sunday, which does not contain any accounts from Spain,
or any other news worth extracting; had the report of
the insurrection at Madrid been true, no doubt the tele-
graph from Bayonne would have announced it in five
days, as an extraordinary courier goes from Madrid in
four days to Bayonne, therefore we are still of an opinion
that the report is at present premature.
Consols are at present 83i for the account, with
little doing. We have no political news at present.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

PATERSO N V. POWELL.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, to recover
from the defendant the amount of a certain wager entered
into between the parties, relative to the price of shares in
the Brazilian Mining Company. The facts of the ease are
as follow :—The plaintiff entered into a contract that
upon a consideration of 401. being given by him to the de-
fendant, he should return the sum of 1001. upon condi-
tion that the shares in the Brazilian Mining Corn-
limy should be done in the market at any time between
the 19th of MI and 31st Dec. 1829, at or above the price
of 1001. per share: Many witnesses were examined, who
proved that transfers of shares had taken place on • the
31st December, at 981., and the same day 99/. and 1001.
had been demanded, but none had been done at that price.
Mr. Serjeant TADDY, for the defendant, designated the
whole as an illegal transaction, inasmuch as no person
had a right to make a wager who had no interest what-
ever in the transaction, to the injury of others, and there-
fore be contended that he ought to have a verdict.
The LOAD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and the Jury,
after some consultation found a verdict for the plaintiff--
Damages 100/.

" PROTEST.

" Considering that by the terms of the Ist article of
the Constitution the territory of Belgium comprehends the
provinces of Antwerp, Brabant, West Flanders, Hainault,
Liege, Limburg, Luxemburg, and Namur, with the
exception of the relations of Luxemburg with the
German Confederation ;—that according to the 80th
Article of the Constitution the King does not take
possession of the throne until after having taken
the oath to maintai❑ the national independence and
the integrity of the territory ;—that it was under
those express conditions that the crown was offered to the
Prince of Saxe Coburg ;—that, in reality, the decree of
the 4th of June instant, contains texually the words-
-' his Royal Highness Leopold George Christian
Frederick, Prince of Coburg, is proclaimed King of the
Belgians, on condition of accepting the constitution, such
as it was decri ed by the National Congress ;'—that the ac-
ceptance given by the Prince is subordinate to conditions
diametrically opposite to the aforesaid arrangements, since
he requires before he comes to take possession of the throne,
the previous adhesion of the Congress to sacrifices which
would deprive Belgium of a part of her territory ;—that if,
by an impossibility, the Congress should be able to lose
sight of the object of its formation, to the point of con-
senting to the propositions offerdd to it by the Five Powers,
and to the decisions referred to by the Prince, it would fol-
low that its election would be radically null, inasmuch
as persons foreign to Belgium, thus mutilated, would
have taken part as Members of the Congress ;—the under-
signed, as Members of the National Congress of Belgium,
protest solemnly ggainst the introduction into deliberation
of any proposition which might tend to do injury to the
integrity of the territory, such as was fixed by the Belgian
constitution ; they protest specially against all adhesion,
directly or indirectly, to the protocols and propositions
originating from the Conference of London. Acting thus,
the undersigned so'ely follow the impulse of their con-
science : they are persuaded that they fulfil a sacred duty.
The present protest shall be deposed on the bureau of the
Congress, to be read in public sitting. Brussels, June
29, 1831." Signed by Robaulx, Seron, Jottrand, and
thirty-six other Members of their factions. The first is
Editor of the Emancipation, and leader of a party of the
Movement ; tl e second is his principal guide ; and the
third is the Editor of the Courrier.

MONTHLY REPORT OF AGRICULTURE

FOR JUNE.

The long and unfavourable course of east and north winds,with
constant drought, ceased about the 9th, and have been succeeded
to the present date by western and south-western breezes, with
frequent variations indeed, but with a warm and general atmos-
pheric temperature which has almost worked miracles of im-
provement in the condition of the crops of corn and pulse. Un-
fortunately for the fi uit districts, the havoc and destruction occa-
sioned by ungenial May are irremediable by any change, how-
ever flattering, and our orchardists generally must sit contented
with a slight sprinkling of apples, so they phrase it, and the
people at large, according to old custom, must depend for their
supply of fruit on the more certain products ot the ilses and of
Normandy. The crop of filberts is said to have suffered beyond
all others. This favourable change, of which we began almost
to despair, is probably to be attended with the most important
and beneficial results, both as regards the national supply and the
interests of the farmers. Instead of a late and scanty harvest,
which was so universally apprehended and dreaded, should for-
tunately the present seasonable warmth of temperature continue,
we may expect an early ripening of the c. tops, and a full average
quantity upon all the best and middling soils.—MontlayMagazinc
for July.
