THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 23. •
The state of the Corn Market is still such as to render re-
marks altogether superfluous, and even the quotation of prices
unnecessary. We have, however, made arrangements which
will enable us to give the reports of this Market, from and after
Monday next, in a much more perfect form than that in which
they have hitherto appeared in our columns.

GORDON V. GORDON.

This long, litigated, and interesting cause, in
which the question was relative to the legitimacy
of the petitioner, and which has been already su
fully and repeatedly before the public, was thiS
day again brought before the Court on the motion
of Mr. KNIGIIT on behalf of the defendant. The
facts of the case were shortly these :—When the,
former Decree was made, there were placed in
the Master's Office certain deeds, agreements,
letters. writings, and papers, amounting in all to
48. The Order, however, did not contain any
directions as to the delivery of those papers, and
a petition of rehearing having been filed, the de-
fendant now prayed that the said deeds, agree-
ments, &c. might he placed in his hands.
Mr. llum.n objected to the motion, and sub-
mitted that it was duly made for the purpose of
delay. In fact, they bore no relation to the case,
and were quite as well in the Master's Office as
any where else.
The Loan CHANCELLOR said, had the motion
been to place them in the bands of the Clerk in
Court, the case would have been different. There
could, however, be no objection to the Master's
Clerk producing them, but farther than this, the
motion must be dismissed.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH—(TIis Div).

L18E1..---COOKZ V. It
This was an action bronfibt by the plaintiff,
James Sutton Stamp Cooke, Esq., the brother to
the gentleman who claims the title of Baron Staf-
ford, and their estates, against the defendant, a
bookseller, living in Ludgate-street, St. Paul's,
for publishing a libellous work, in a 3N. 6d. Pam•
phlet, entitled 46 The Stafford Peerage, or the
Imposture Unmasked," who grossly reflected upon
his character, called him a ga►nl►ler, swindler,
even a bigamist, and the greatest rogue in England.
A witness named Baldwin proved purchasing
the book at the defendant's shop, by the request
of the plaintiff ; knows plaintiff had brought au
action at Derby, and obtained one farthing

damages.
The passages of the work were then read, as
was the trial for bigamy at the Old Bailey, itk
181'2, when he was found guilty, and sentenced
to seven years transportation ; but the Royal
clemency was afterwards extended to him, the
first marriage proving null and void.
Mr. SCAKLETT addressed the Jury on the part
of the defendant.

The LORD CUIEF JUSTICE had just commenced
to sum up, when the Jury intimated they were
satisfied, and instantly returned a verdict for the
plaintiff—Dansages One Furthing.

i.literided principally .for *volution hi Spain and

Sinigiih America, but''. from the number of
SpAniards whom late events have driven to this
country, it is likely that its circulation will be pro.
portionably extensive here. The subjects of the
literary part of the work are well selected, and
Itogether it forms an elegant.and tasteful addition
to the table of the scholar. The affairs of Spain
at this moment excite general, we might almost
say universal, attention, and are likely for a long
tnneto attract the notice of mankind. The
Spanish language seems at present to be cultivated
in all quarters, and as it is the language of so
extensive a region as South America, any Works
written in that language cannot but be highly in-
teresting wherever it.prevails. We really know
not any Work of the nature of that before us,
which is equally well calculated to arouse and in-
.form the Reader, as welt as to promotekic know-
' ledge of the Spanish language, and therefore con-
fidently recommend it to the European .Public,
not only for the Intelligence which it affords, but
for the merit of the Prints by which It is embel-
lished.

" THE DISCOVERY SHIM

" H. M. S. Fury, Whale Cove, Whale-fish
list. 69 deg. 9 min. N., long. 66 deg. 30 W.
" We have had a very good passage ; called no where since
leaving the Nore. We passed several immense ice-bergs on
the 21st end 221 of June, in Davies Straits, and made the land
on the marning of the latter date.

" It gives me much pleasure to inform you that our Captain
enjoys perfect, health, and is in good spirits, 53 are also the
officers and men of the Fury. Captain Parry, of the Heels,
his officers and men, are all well. We have been very busily
employed clearing the transport of stores, live cattle, &c. We
shall have fresh meat on alternate days until Christmas, or
perhaps longer, if the fodder last. One thing I wish to cau-
tion you against—namely, the vague reports you will hear of
us. After the transport leaves us, depend upon it we shall
never see an European face or ship ;--how then can it be pos-
sible that any information respecting us can reach England,
unless there were conveyances for dispatches by land, which
cannot be the case should we succeed in finding a passage
to the southward of the Pole, we might soon transmit you a
letter. 1 hope I shall have the pleasure of regaling you on
board on our return, after a successful voyage round the Island
of America, with a glass of grog made from the first rum that
has accomplished that passage.

Adieu for three or four years ! We expect to part with the
transport that bits accompanied us front England tp..night ; by
her I send you this letter.—. July 2, I 024.!"---(Mora tag Herald.)
We are glad to have the opportunity of adding,
that, to gratify the Country, we hear the Board of
Admiralty have resolved to announce the future
arrival of any intelligence respecting this most in-
teresting Expedition, and, not to let such desir-
able Information depend upon the communica-
tion of official individuals to favourite Journals.
This resolution is highly creditable to that Na-
tional Board, while, indeed, it is u due tribute to
the Public at large, whose feelings must be so
anxious on the subject. .

CAPTAIN PARRY'S EXPEDITION.

AS not 003 Great Britain but all other States
are interested in the fate of this Expedition, we
deerna our (Ivy to insert all that has transpired
on this important subject in the public journals,
in addition to our brief notice yesterday :-
6' CAPTAIN PAR ICY'S EXPEDIT lON.—The William Harris
transport, which was ordered to attend Captain Parry to the
verge of the icc, has passed Whitby, on her return to the
River, after discharging her cargo into the Hecla and Fury.
She put some letters on shore, by which it appears that she left
the Discovery Ships on the 2d of July, in the neighbourhood
of Whale.tisi Islands, Baffin's Bay, all well, and about to
proceed in he pursuit of the ulterior objects of the Expetli-
tion."—(Mortting Post.)

" Letters were yesterday received from Captain Pirry, from
Whale Islascl, Davis's Straits, crew all well, dated the 26th of
June. No accident had occurred since they left the river.
Both the Becht and Fury kept company during the voyage,
and arrived together. The expedition was to proceed on their
ulterior destination on the Ist of July.' Dispatches have also
reached the Admiralty from Captain Parry, later in date than
the private letters above referred to. They were brought to
Whitby by he William Harris transport, which left this en-
terprising► officer on the 2(1 of July, at the entrance to Baffin's
Bay. It is not likely that any other intelligence will be re-
ceived of Captain Parry until the result of his expedition is
known."—f The Times.)
London, England, 1824-08-04

FOR TUB SUN.

CUSTOM-HOUSE OFFICERS.
Ma. Borroa—ln reply to the question of your
Correspondent of Wednesday last, P may be as-
sured that Custom-House Officers have the right
of searching the person, and that it is, and must
be, left to their discretion in what, cases they
ought to exercise that right. In the hatids of
men of coarse minds that discretion will be vexa-
tiously abused, when 4hey might, from appear-
ances, easily judge that such search was unneces-
sary. The case of Havre, cited by P proves
nothing. The Officers, both there and at South-
ampton, have been long remarked for their gen-
tleman-like deportment ; but they have (and, if
there were reasons to suspect fraud, would exer-
cise)right of personal search. That the
Brighton
people should indiscriminately de it, is
much to be regretted, because it insults the

GREECE.

FRONTIERS OP ITALY, JULY 12.---Thanks to
the intervention of a foreir agent, who enjoys high credit with
the Porte, the Pacha of .beutari has at length received a con-
siderable sum of money,'for the payment of which funds have
already been provided some time since in a considerable
commercial city in the Adriatic. Notwithstanding all the
effints which this Pacha had made among the Albanian tribes,
even those with which he hail the most connection, he hail not
been able to succeed in obtaining troops,because he was unable
to pay the Chiefs. Ills urgent solicitations at Constantinople
have at length obtained bon funds, and he will now have no
difficulty in procuring troops.
All these circumstances are perfectly known at Mhoolonghi,
and measures are taken to put the place in a state of defence
to resist the new attacks that may be expected from the Pacha
of Scutari. There is no doubt that he would have commenced
offensive operations much sooner, but for the difficulties which
we have spoken of ; but now he will not delay taking the field.
Mavrocordato does every thing in his power to organise his
means of defence in the best manner; fortunately he has al-
ready received some remittances of money from England, which
have some very n propos.
The Greek corps which is in Acarnunin, beyond the fron.
tiers of Etolia, has been reinforced, and its vanguard has been
increased by some detachments; this vanguard is in the neigh-
bourhood of Arta. All the inhabitants of the mountains are
in arms, and resolved to make a desperate resistance to the at.
tack of' the Turks ; but in this state of things Mavrocordato
must not commence offensive operations. Workmen are em-
ployed without intermission in fortifying Missolonghi. Should
the Turks advance so far, it is hoped that the plan of defence
which succeeded on the last occasion may be repeated ; that is,
to cut off their commuications, and by this means compel
them to retreat, for it is impossible for the Turks to make
themselves masters of the place unless their fleet attacks it by
sea at the same time. We have not yet heard that the fleet has
appeared in the lonian Sea.
The garrison of Num remains inactive, and has not attempt-
ed any fresh sally, mw has any thing passed at bepanto.—
Dervisch Pacha is said to have received orders to remain on
the defensive till he has received fresh instructions.

LONDON,
IVEDNESD,II; AUGUST 4, 1824.

We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday
and the Eloile of Monday, from which extracts
will be found under the usual head. The Cou-
rier Francais thinks that the language lately
held by the Governor of Martinique, and by a
French Consul to the Secretary of the Provi-
sional Government ut Martinique, indicates a
disposition on the part of the Cabinet of Paris to
take measures for the gradual recognition of the
independence of South America. It is odd
enough that the Courier Francais should attach
so much importance to the mere professions of
neutrality uttered by these remote and compara-
tively insignificant French functionaries, whilst
it must still have fresh in its recollection the so-
lemn declarations of the King of FRANCE him-
self, that there was nothing further from his in-
tentions than to make a hostile attack upon Spain,
and that nothing but malevolence could induce
any one to imagine that the force which he had
collected for the purpose of invading that coun-
try had any other object than the sanitary one
of protecting France from the inroads of a pesti-
lential disease ! No, no.--A !though it ,nay be
true that France has seen reason to alter her po-
licy respecting South America, yet they must be
easily gulled indeed, easily flattered by slender
assurances and fallacious expectations, who ima-
gine, like the Courier Francais, that the slight
circumstances to which it alludes warrant any
reliance upon the friendly dispositions of the
French Cabinet towards the new American
States.—The Eloile contains an account of the
procession and ceremonial observed at the first
interview of General Count G MAI:MINOT, in his
quality of Ambassador to the Porte, with the
Grand Vizier. His Excellency, after this piece

THE THEATRE.

DittiltY-LAVE.--4, You Like It, one of the
most pleasing comic productions of our great
author, was represented last night, and altogether
'well attended. Mrs.YATES, late MISS BRUNTON,
performed the part of Rosalind, in which she was
deservedly admired when she played the same
part some years ago at Covent-Gl'arden Theatre.
There is an arch vivacity in her manner exactly
suited to this sportive and elegant character. She
gave the Cuckoo Song with unaffected humour,
and was encored,. Mrs. YATES is really a valu-
able acquisition to this Theatre. The same kind
of listlessness that usually hangs over the acting of
Mr.MAcittanY marked his Jaques last night. That
he conceived the character properly must be ad-
mitted, but it is so strongly marked that it cannot
be mistaken. Mr. WALLACK displayed, in Or.
lando, all the judgment, feeling, and spirit
which the part requires. The veteran POPE
gave a respectable representation of the ba.
nished Duke. HARLEY, who never 66 comes
tardily off," was, however, much too hurried
in Touchstone. He is a clown who 46 doth
very wisely hit," and all ho says should be dis-
tinctly uttered. We were sorry to see this ad-
mirable Comedy interpolated by additional
songs, which only tend to interrupt the interest
of the plot. Let the Managers do what they
please with modern trash, but the page of our
great National Poet should remain unpolluted.—
Instead of the appearance of Hymen %vitt' his
torch in the last scene, there was a splendid as-
semblage of Gods and Goddesses, &c., but the
aadience did not seem to like the Flying Angel,
who indeed moved about to no purpose, and ex-
cited an apprehension of danger.

though boxing has been dignified with the title

.There is, how-
ever, the, anxiety
,respecting the issue, which is
like games of chance' to people who do not know
how to kill their time
,; and .there is 'the emotion
produced. by the sight of mangling and suffering:
To a,. coarse . and. sluggish diSposition, the
view of men, covered over bloods their
faces laid-,.open with deep gashes, placed in a
state of insensibility on shutters, with the
glutstly took of death 'discernible in such of
their features as can. be seen through the gore—
ail this
.must be a pleasnre of the highest Order.
Boxing, badger and bull-baiting, beitic-fights, and
all similar displays of animal energy will always
be attractive to a coarsepeople. The rage for
these coarse spectacles merely proves that there
is a large portion of the community to whom they
are a congenial entertainment. They are black-
guard exhibitions; but so long as the black-
guardism exists, and the grossness of propensity,
the exhibitions will follow aa.a natural conse-
quence. Minds of a better order will not be
contaminated by them, because in such minds
they will excite only a feeling., of disgust.
--The Newipapers would not ' exhibit 'the.
age if they, did _ not exhibit this very pre-
valent though disgraceful taste, The taste it-
self may be met in two ways, either by the
strong hand of the law, the worst mode-that can
be adopted, it is like skinning over a bad sore, or
by the improvement of the general character and
the general taste. A great deal may be said- in
favour of the .coarse propensities' of a large por-
tion of our population. 'What with the opera-
tion of vagrant laws, the war waged against all in-
nocent amusements, the depriving them of a thou.
sand little p tea su reslopen'to the lower orders ofthe
continent, such as dancing, music, &C. they are`in
some sort. driven ,to.the public-house, and these
coarse exhibitioni, whether they will or not. Men
cannot be always toiting,und if-they are shut out
from refined amusements they will have recourse
to.coarse ones.' The higher ranks of this country
seem to view with particular jealousy all indul
gencies on the part of the people which are not
of the grossest kind. There is no- lack of hu-
manity or charity, but they cannot sympathise.
with their mirth or gaiety.

RANGOON PAGODA.

LExtract of a Lctler from Rangoon, dated July 4.)
" 41. informed you in my last of our success here; I have now
to mention, that on the 12th of May we sent a party to take
possession of the. great Pagoda, about two miles from the town,
in which they were successful. Two guns planted on the top
of the steps leading to,the Pagoda were repeatedly fired at the
party without effect, being pointed too high. This Pagoda,
and the grounds about it, are now crowded with European in-
fantry and artillery, being one principal post without the town,
which is guarded chiefly by the Madras Sepoys. The scenes
which now occur at this extensive and gorgeous temple are sin-
Ogularly odd and amusing. For want of quarters, the men and
Officers Thrust themselves into every. little shrine anti niche,
some of which . are sufficiently capacious to admit a table, a
chair, or a cot.; others serve as receptacles for boots and shoes,
beef and biscuit. Round the neck of one divinity, hi suspended
a belt and bayonet, while another.has its.hip full of knapsacks
and cartridges. The ears of others offer convenient pegs for
hats, and, in short never Were a set of poor deities so meanly
employed or so familiarly treated. The great tlaudnia in par-
ticular has his hands full of business, and much charge of,old
clothes. Much as I had heard of this Pagoda, it far exceeded
my expectations in extent and splendour, as well as in the rich-
ness and delicacy of the ornaments and earved work. In the
human figure only the execution is very defective.:

who still think that the greater part of the
French army is actually on its march at the
present moment to retire from Spain ; and a
respectable Evening Paper mentions a report
that King Ferdinand, far from writing to
solicit their continuance, has written to urge
their removal. This latter circumstance, even
if it has occurred (which we very much
doubt), may be no more than a poli-
tical manoeuvre, carried on with a secret under-
standing that the request shall be regarded as a
mare matter of form. For our own part, we are
strongly impressed with the belief that there
will be no immediate withdrawal of any consi-
derable number of troops; and conformable to
this are all the contents of all the private letters
which we yesterday received from Paris. The
Papers are also silent upon the subject ; and the
accounts from the South of France notice merely
the return of a few invalids, and that no prepara-
tions were making for the reception of any body
of troops beyond those usually passing through
the frontier towns.

[HORNING HERALD.]
Tuesday's Paris papers arrived late last night.
They speculate a good deal upon a Council of
Ministers recently held, at which the King pre-
sided. Some will have it that the question under
discussion was the granting au indemnity to the
Emigrants whose estates were confiscated—
others the withdrawing the Army of Occupa-
tion from Spain; and a third party asserts, that
both subjects were discussed. NVith respect
to the retirement of the great bulk of the
French army from Spain, there appears no
longer the least reason to doubt it. It also seems
probable that Ferdinand neither requested nor
desired their continuance in Spain. In truth, the
Serviles, who at present surround and govern
him, are the most anxious for the evacuation of
the country by the French. Vengeance and
persecution will no doubt reign still more fu-
riously. Little progress seems to be made in the
organization of a regular army. A sort of militia,
called Royalist Volunteers, seem to be chiefly
relied on—and these are furious partisans of the
Inquisition. Distrust and fear are still entertained
respecting the ci-devant Constitutional army. A
new Decree has been published, depriving
Officers of this description of their honours,
arms, and equipage—if not of their own pro-
perty. According to all ordinary calculations,
however, there appears no likelihood of a serious
effort to re-establish the Constitution. Twenty
thousand Frenchmen is great nucleus in the
kingdom, and if danger threatened, this number
would be increased by French troops again
passing over the Pyrenees. The Spaniards, be-
sides, want arms, ammunition, money, and or-
ganization. There are further accounts from
Greece—not containing any thing important, ex-
cepting only that they confirm, beyond all doubt,
the failure of the Turkish naval campaign, and
the return of the shattered fleet to the Darda-
nelles.

BOXERS.

Josu ti Dsox AND CANNON.—: meeting of the fricnils of
these men took place on Wednesday, at Tom Belcher's, tor the
purpose of agreeing upon the spot on which their important
combat is to take place. There were various applications for
the honour as well as the profits of the choice, and it was ulti-
mately determined that the stage should be erected at a place
rather more than ninety miles from London, where, independent
of the encouragement to which the men arc fairly entitled, a
perfect security front magisterial interruption is promised.—
Private intimation of the arrangement was instantly dispatched
to the men, who will forthwith proceed by easy stages to".(!s,
the scene of action. Josh is accompanied by Torn Cla

COURT OF CHANCERY--(This DAY.)
THE RET. MR. FLETCHER.

The Court was occupied during the wholo of
the morning in hearing the further arguments of
Counsel in this interesting cause. Mr. Fletcher
was present, and the Court was again crowded to
excess.

Mr. ItAITIIBT and Mr. SHADWELL were heard
in support of the motion. The latter gentleman
disclaimed, on the part of the Synod, any attempt
to invest in themselves the appointment of a per-
petual preacher ; all they wished was in the case
Of suspension they might have the appointtnent,
as it was the more convenient. It was also
considered that the Synod had not the power of
preventing any Minister acting as such, which
gave rise to the Lord Chancellor's putting the
question relative to what jurisdiction this Court
had in that case.

Mr. HART and Mr. HEALD were beard against

the motion, and the farther hearing was adjourn:

IRELAND.

STATE OP THE COUNTRY:A most daring at-
tempt to take away property, under seizure for
rent, occurred a few nights ago, on the lands of
Derreen, near Clanegown, King's County ; and,
although the deluded wretches got away four-
teen or fifteen head of cattle, yet, through the
timely assistance of two neighbouring Magis-
trates, Captain John Tihaudo, of Portuheich, and
Eyre C. Baldwin, Esq., Clanegown House, with
a few of the Clanegown Police, the remainder of
the property was secured. Such is the state of
feeling with the unfortunate people in cases of this
kind, that in this instance some hundreds were in
attendance in the adjoining fields ; but, on the
arrival of those two excellent Magistrates, the
people fled in all directions. Too much praise, on
this occasion, cannot be given to those two active
gentlemen, who at the peril of their lives, sallied
out at an unseasonable hour, and for the remain-
der of the night scoured the country in all di-
rections.—(Dublin Correspondent, Noy. 16.)
