LONDON MARKETS, &c.

CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 17.

There were last week good arrivals of most kinds of Grain,
and this morning the quantities fresh up of Corn in general are
moderate. The millers are nearly all in want of fine Wheat,
and they purchase freely of such at terms rather exceeding the
terms of this day se'nnight, but all other qualities go off slowly
at the prices last quoted. Barley for malting is in demand,
and Is. per quarter higher, other sorts are unaltered. Old
Beans find buyers at last quotations, but New a rather
cheaper. Boiling Pease are pot a free sale, but fully support
last terms. Grey Pease sell at the prices last quoted. Oats
are in good supply, but our buyers being chiefly in want, this
article fully maintains the rates of this day se'nnight. In Flour
no alteration.

We understand the principal houses in the
Levant trade are about to express their opinion
publicly, in an Address to Mr. CANNING, in ap-
proval of the late proclamation relative to the
prohibition of warlike stores, fitting out ships,
&c. &c.—(Mcrning Paper.)
On Friday last, the annual Meeting of the Sub..
scribers to the Royal Lancasterian or British and Foreign
School Society was held at the Old Town Ball, when inter.
esting reports were read of the state of the schools. A consi-
derable improvement in the state of the funds was reported,
as notwithstanding repairs to the amount of upwards of 501.
were done to the school-rooms, in the course of the past year, a
small balance was left in the hands of the treasurer. The in.
creasing popularity of this institution may be inferred from the
very gratifying fact, that many of the parents, whose children
have long waited for admission, have offered to pay a penny or
threc-halfrence a week, could they be received. From the
number of the applications, the meeting came to an unanimous
resolution to occupy the whole of the present building as a
school for the boys, and to erect an additional one for the girls,
as soon as funds can be obtained for that purpose. Several
gentlemen present immediately put down their names for a
guinea, and others for half a guinea each, and Mr. Welch was
appointed treasurer, to receive donations for this specific ob-
ject.—( Portsmouth Paper. )
A well-dressed woman, named Kingston, was
charged at Lambeth-street Police Office, by her husband,
with an attempt to poison him. Mr. Kingston, who is about
thirty years of age, stated that he has been married to the
prisoner about seven years : they have no children. A young
man lodged in his holm, whom he suspected of an improper
intimacy with his wife. On Monday morning he rose at six
o'clock, according to custom, and appeared to go out, but con-
cealed himself in tho house, and soon heard tile young man
go into his wife's room; he immediately burst open the door,
which was fastened, and turned them both into the street.
Ile then recollected that the morning before he found a had
taste in his tea at breakfast, and had taken coffee; and that
his wife kept the tea for him to drink with his pipe, which
he was in the habit of doing. Ile had the tea analyzed, and
it was found to contain oxalic acid, a quantity of which was
also found in his wife's drawer. In consequence of these dis-
coveries he had her apprehended. The wife said she did not
know how the oxalic acid came into the tea ; what was in her
drawer she had to clean her Leghorn bonnet. The Magistrate
recommended the parties to separate, to which they agreed,
and the defendant was discharged.
Yesterday about half-past four o'clock, while
a young woman named Mitchell was playing on hoard the
Thames police vessel lying opposite the end of Norfolk-street,
she accidentally fell over the steps and was drowned. Her body
remained under water an hour. When it was found it was re-
moved to the Spotted Dog public-house in Strand-lane, and
every endeavour was in vain made under the direction of a me.
dicta gentleman to restore animation.
Another striking and very melancholy proof of
the frail tenure of human life occurred on Thursday, the fish
instant, John Hall, gentleman, of Stoke, near Newark, aged
about sixty, having engaged a few friends to dine wi h him,
went out hefored inner, in company with Mr. Wakefield, ayrung
gentleman of the same village, and a Mr. Green, of Flintham,
to take the pastime of shooting ; during their excursion, they had
occasion to pass a gate which was fastened ; Mr. Hall climl si
over it, and was immediately followed by Mr. Wakefield with
his gun in his hand, and which by some unlucky mischance
went off, when the whole contents were lodged in the back of
Mr. Hall, who only exclaimed " Oh ! Wakefield, what have
you done ?" and immediately fell and expired. No language
can express the grief of Mrs. Hall, (children he had not any)
and the extreme anguish of mind of Mr. Wakefield, to
whom, it appears, no blame is at all attibutable.—(Lincoln
Mercury.) .

DREADFUL FlRE.—This morning between two
and three o'clock, a sudden burst of flames through the
lower part of the house of Mr. James Leonad, carpet ma-
nufacturer, situated in North-street, Oxford-road, discovered
to the unfortunate inmates that the house was on fire,—
The flames ascended through the lower warerooms
and first floor with such rapidity, that the family were
obliged to retreat across the roof, A servant girl, in the
horror of the moment, jumped from a window into the street,
and broke her thigh. Mrs. Leonad, who is rather infirm, sus-
tained some very serious injury, but none of the other
part of the family were hurt. The flames ascended
throughout the building, which in a short time was destroy, d,
The adjoining house of Mr. Young was much burnt. Mr.
Leonad is insured. It is supposed the flre was cAuettl by the
ignition of some combostibleth

Extracts from (lie Martim; Papers, Oct. I,' 1 SI. 54

[THE TIMES.). • • •
Some days ago we quoted a paragraph from 4
Paris Paper, statinz that M. de Dunes, the
French Minister for Foreign Affairs, had given a
dinner to the black Envoys of Hayti. We added
at the time, that we saw no mention made in-tthe
paragraph of the presence of the diplomatic.corps,•
and expressed great doubts whether the Russian
Ambassador was of the party. A letter which
we have since received from Paris enables us to
judge of the difficulties with which their sable
Excellencies had to contend before they could:
approach the Ministerial table, and inform us
of the important negociaGons which took place
before the Members, of. the Holy Alliarice could
settle the point whether the Representatives
of revolted Slaves could be admitted to eat •
and drink in the presence of their legitimate
Ambassadors. It is the usual custom Ilih .
the Foreign Minister in franc* to invite a new
Envoy to dinner immediately on his. arrival, and
to introduce him at the King's levee on the Sun••
day following, The Haytian Deputies coining •
to France with a large purse in-their hand, re-.
tnetnbering the enthusiasm which the Frenchc.
squadron expressed at the admission of the 'royal
ordinance for their independence,. amid trusting
that there was some meaning in thQ toast of
" Charles the Liberal," imagined that every cdi,
cial saloon in Paris would be open for their re., -
ception, and that his Majesty would be imps,
tient to welcome dispatches from his sovereign
brother and ally the President of the Black Re,- •
public. But the taste of the King was completely
mistaken. fie neither likes a black face nor a

liberal sentiment, having been taught, by the cry ,
of the absolute and legitimate party in Spain,
to confound a negro with a lover of freedom.
He was therefore exceedingly wroth with Baron
Mackau for allowing his health to be drank with

such an addition to his title, and turned his hack
upon him when he appeared at St, Cloud. M. de,
Villele, in order to show that he had not taught
this diplomatic bird its w•ron; lesson, imitated
the example of his roaster, M. de Mackau, how-,
ever, did not forget his Hay thin friends, and see,
ing it impossible to introduce them at Court,
exerted himself both with the Minister of Marine

and the Minister of Foreign Affairs to get them
an official dinner. The former (NI. de Chabrol)
was inclined to yield; the latter was for some
time inflexible. Couriers were dispatched to,
Vienna, Petersburgh, and Madrid. At last
Baron de Mums consented to be the sole victim
of Ilaytain contact, and the Envoys had a kind
of concealed repast, like that given by a rich man
to his poor relations. These gentlemen are far
from being satisfied with their treatment, and
now find a more congenial society in the con.
tractors for the new loan which they are ern,
powered to negociate.

ENEW TIME .]
We yesterday received Plt'ladelphia Papers Its
the 20th oft. They contain information from►
Lima to the 14th June. At that time Callao was;
holding out, and opinions were very much divided
as to the probability of its fall ; some anticipating
its surrender in two months, while others 1113;atained that it was provisioned for a great length
of time ; and as to taking it by force, that seems
to be quite out of the question. The castle mounts
upwards of 200 brass 24-pounders, and a number
of smaller cannon, and it is surrounded by a ditch
feet wide. The independent Government of Pere
is acting with great impolicy, in harrassing neutral
trade. A New York vessel, seized under a charge
of having Spanish property on bo•ird, had hee►t
kept waiting near six months for a trial. A Bal-
timore vessel was detained several weeks, merely
waiting for a clearance, and at length sailed with-
out one. The short explanation of all this is,
that the evil habits acquired, by all persons in
office, under the old mis-government, still stick
to them in the new state of things. Political re-.
volutions do not always effect moral reforms,. .
Accounts of the capture of A rracan and Zassein
had reached New York, but of course they add
nothing to our information on those events. Tha .
steam-boat navigation adds a prodigious activity
to the commerce of the United States. 'The
amount of produce shipped at Louisville, for Now
Orleans, &c. in steam-boats, daring the present
year, is estimated at between 27 and 28,000 tons.
Another test of the extent of internal trade in
the United States is furnished by the produce of
auction sales. This, in the single city of New
York, amounted for the months of April, May,
and June, to the immense sum of 6,960,000.
dollars, --

[MORNING POST.]
We received, last night, Penis Journals to the
15th instant, and the Etoile of Saturday. The
Quotidienne, after giving an article from Copen,
hasten (which has already appeared in our Paper)
stating that a Russian squadron, consisting of
one ship of the line and three frigates had
sailed towards the South, adds : " that accord-,
ing to advices received from several parts oc•
Germany, that squadron seemed destined for•
the lonian Islands, which gave very great im-.. .
portance to the news." Were this the case
indeed, it would appear that Russia, whose
armies are in motion on the Turkish frontiers,
was also desirous of collecting a sufficient-.
ly strong naval force in the seas of Greece to
be ready to assume in an effective manner the
Protectorship of that country, which she expects.
will instantly devolve upon her if it be refused
by our Government. The hyrnal des Debuts,
however, contradicts the report altogether, and
states that the Russian squadron instead.of
ing to the Mediterranean bad gone baek to R,ussias.
An article from Trieste announces that an Austrian
brig, Le Severe, bound from Alexandria to Cy-.
pros, with a number of Turkish passengers on,
board, having refused to suffer itself to b visited,
by a Greek cruiser, fought an action which ,
terminated by its being boartlea, taken, anck
sunk. Some of the Turks being men of die-
tinction, were carried away by the Greekss..l-1,-
in the hope of obtaining a rich ransom for them,
It is added that in consequence of this occurreuce4

tbe Austrian vessels of war
.attacked the Greei
cruisers wherever they found them, and had
already taken eight of them. This may be
true, for there is no doubt that the Austrians
-would ,gladly avail .themselves of the least
shadow of a pretence for endeavouring to insure
the success of their (Fiends the Turks, by de-
stroying the Greek navy. But should they be
mad and unprincipled enough to make the
attempt, because some of their vessels which
violated neutrality have experienced' the just
eonsequences of such a violation, we trust that
Greek. valour and heroism would soon turn the
!tales, and that description would fall to the
share of those by whom it was meditated. The
intelligence from Constantinople comes down to
the middle of September, and is decidedly fa-
vourable to the Greeks. The retreat of Ibrahim
'Vacha is re-asserted with still more confidence
Pau before, and with additional details which
give it a character of greater authenticity. The
events in Candia have no doubt had much influ-
ence on his determination. They have shown him
that he could expect no fresh reinforcements from
Egypt ; for all the troop-6
.which his father can
spate will be wanted tiVprevent the Greeks from
getting entire porassion of the important
island, or rather ialm of Candia. He had
long since found.
experience, that neither the
seraskier Itedschid, nor the Pacha of Negro-
pante, could afford him any particle of the aid
an which he had been instructed to rely. He
had also ascertained, that to have penetrated to
the very heart of the Mores, was not to have
Effected its conquest ; but, on the contrary,
merely to have taken a most hazardous and
wholly useless position, from which it required
no small skill and steadiness of discipline to ex-
tricate his army. Provisions besides, were every
day growing shorter. It is astonishing therefore
that he should have employed his remaining force
in opening a way for himself back to Navarino,
whence he may hope to embark for Candia, if he
can persuade Austrian vessels to take his troops
on board ? For as to the Turks and Egyptians,
their fleets, have ceased to keep the sea ever since
Miaulis and Sachtury re-appeared in the Archi
pelago.

[THE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
A letter from Paris, addressed to a very re-
spectable House in the City, holds out a confi-
dent expectation that the French Cabinet will
soon able to claim the honour of having sub-
1i ed the obstinacy of the Spanish Monarch, on
the subject of his ridiculous claims to the Sove-
reignty of the New States of America. it says,
that Ferdinand has so far yielded as to consent
that the Cabinet of the Tuilleries should sound
those States, whether they would agree to give
him a pecuniary indemnity to Spain should he
recognize their independence. It is further
sated that proposals have been actually trans.
roitted to this effect, and even a hope is held
oat, though upon what grounds we caunot con.
ceive, that they will be favourably entertained
by the Transatlantic Government. The writer
of this letter, however, grounds his hope upon the
extraordinary zeal of the French Cabinet to effect
as amicable adjustment between Spain and her
former Colonies.. It is alleged, es a motive for
this uncommon zeal, that the Ministers of his
Most Christian Majesty are perfectly alive to the
folly of exposing any longer the French com-
merce to the difficulties it has now to contend
with 'in 'the markets of the 'New World ; and
that they are the more anxious to remove
them, as the popularity they should thus acquire,
would serve to cover the defeat they have sus-
tained in their attempt to convert thenentes. At
the same time, they may wish to strengthen their
influence at the approach of a general election ;
and certainly they cannot hit upon a better ex-
pedient to gain the support of the Manufacturing
and Commercial Interest, than by holding out to
them the bait of an open trade with the Ports of
South America. The support of these two classes
is the more essential, as it will be more than a
counterpoise to the ascendancy which the Ultra
Opposition possess over the Agricultural Inte-
rest. Besides this inducement, the Ministers
must wish to fortify themselves against the hosti-
lity of that faction, which they have doubtless
reason to apprehend will blaze out more fiercely
than ever in the next Session ; and 'this they
can only hope to effect by establishing an
interest with the great body of the Nation, by
means of the liberality of their measures. We
will not venture to say that these speculations are
entitled to implicit credit; but that they have:
the merit of probability, is obvious from several
circurnstahees, and- from none so much as from
die progress that has been made of late in 'sepa-
rating the policy of France from that of the
Holy Alliance. Moreover, Villele and his col-
lasgues :have, advanced too far in this course to
be We to-recede with any consistency ; and they'
see 1n it t o the means of'mortifying and perhaps
humbling.the most inveterate and, at the same
time, powerful of their political enemies. They
have,irretrievably loSt the confidence of the Huai-
grants ; and, if they cannot acquire a counteract-
ing suppart in some other quarter, their fall is
inevitable.

. • Efie.TTlSg Pees. j
The .French. Papers which we received last
night bring sorne• highly encouraging news from
Greece. There appears to be no reason to doubt
that IbrabimPacha has found it necessary to his
safety to retreat from Tripolizza. The progress
of the insurrection in 6,andia evidently exposes
him to great,danger. He ,cannot stipport himself
without reinfOrcementJ and supplies from Egypt,
which be will .with muthd4culty obtain, unless
the Cretan insurgents be immediately subdued.
The pro‘peets..of, Greece
,begin to brighten, and
it has already p!tised„tp bein improbable specula-
tion that Greek irdeperidince will, before the close
of the; present y4ar, be, , by the ttatural course
of events', beyond,the',reach of all future danger.
It will be seen ,b:pjt.lie; article from the Courier
.4rMitcais, respecting the, Stskle of Egypt, as well
as by. the 40 tijo?nell extract .from the Etoile, that
Mehemel Ali. has been. violently provoked and,

burn'his vessels in the. roads of Alexandria. Jlis
powerindeed rests upon a slender and precarious
foundation. Should the expedition of Ibrahim
