THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 16, 1840.

there is anything but a strong popular feeling on
the question.
But Edinburgh is not the only town in which
this indifference to the so-called " independence" of
the Kirk prevails ; Dundee, Paisley, and Kilmar-
nock are equally lukewarm in the cause. In Glas-
gow, it appears, the Vetoists—knowing dogs—
avoided affording the public any means of ascer-
taining their numbers, and slily commissioned Mr.
Deputation-DUNLOP to sign their petition in their
stead !

By the arrival on Saturday of the Royal Adelaide
steamer at Falmouth, from the Tagus, we have re-
ceived advlces from Lisbon of the 9th inst. The Ade-
laide sailed from Gibraltar on the sth, Cadiz on the
6th, Lisbon on the 9th, and Vigo on the 10th inst.
Portugal was generally tranquil, the dissolution of the
Chambers having produced less excitement out of doors
than was apprehended by the Government. Forty-six
of the late Opposition Deputies signed and ptablished a
Manifesto addressed to the electors of Portugal, a copy
of which has been forwarded to us. It is a very poor
affair, and will do the Government no harm provided
they are wise enough to take no notice of it. The old
cry of want of money was beginning to be raised among
the public functionaries. To meet the current ex-
penses of the Administration, the Minister of Finance
had been obliged to borrow 160 contos from the Bank,
and negotiations for a still greater loan were in progress.
The brig Oriente was preparing to sail frem the
Tagus for Angola, on what was generally believed to be
a fresh slave expedition.
On the 29th ult., about seven o'clock p.m., a luminous
globe was visible to the north of the city of Oporto,
and continued in sight for seven minutes. It shed so
brilliant a light that the smallest objects were clearly
discernible.

The Madrid journals received arc of the 7th inst.,
but their contents continue to be of little interest. The
capital was still in a state of siege, and in the Cortes
the verification of the Returns was expected to occupy
the Deputies for several days. The leading Members
of the Opposition ceased to attend the sittings, and the
few that were present took no part whatever in the
debates.
During the last year the cost of the army under
EspARTERo amounted to the enormous sum of
780.000,000 of reals, or 7,800,0001. sterling.
The Liberals of Madrid had caused a magnificent
gold vase to be made, which is intended to be presented
to the Earl of CLARENDON.

German Papers of the latest dates were received this
morning. The Orenburg Courricr states that on the
10th of January there was a third engagement be-
tween the Russian and Kbivan cavalry, a short distance
from the city of Khiva, when the latter were routed
with the loss of about one-half their numbers in killed
and prisoners. Nothing could withstand the charge of
the Siberian Cossacks, who equalled the Cossacks of
the Don in the impetuosity and irregularity of their
movements, and their command of their horses and
weapons. On the 25th, General PEROWSIY expected
to make his entry into the city of Khiva, which pri-
c ate letters state is already occupied by the troops of

Russia.
A letter from the Turkish frontiers, dated the 27th
of February, denies the participation of Russia in the
late conspiracy discsvered in Greece and the lonian
Islands. Whoever expected any thing else but
such a denial on the part of Russia ? The
writer states that the object of the conspiracy ap-
pears to have been (for of course the Russian scribe is
a 3 ignorant of the facts of the case as his immaculate
Government) to free Epirus, Thessaly, and Macedonia
from the Turkish yoke, and to erect them into distinct
orthodox kingdoms ; while there was no intention what-
ever to injure King OTHO, who was a prodigious fa-
vourite with all the members of the Philorthodox So-
ciety, or in any way to menace or disturb his Greek
MAJESTY'S Government. This trashy defence of Rus-
sia will impose upon no person acquainted with the
maxims of Imperial policy. It will, however, serve to
sow the seeds of national jealousy between the Greeks
and the Turks, and serve the Greek Government for a
pretext for evading the inquiry pressed upon it by the
Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands.
Our Ambassador, Sir G. LYONS, is reported to be
doing all in his power to obtain for Greece a regular
constitution. To this the LING, counselled by the Ba-
varian faction, is as indefatigable in opposing frivolous
obstacles. How unhappy is that nation whose Govern-
ment has a personal interest in the maintenance of
whatever weakens, distracts, and impoverishes it !

The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have
been all received. The Chamber of Deputies met on
Saturday to appoint the Committee specially charged
with the examination of the project of law for granting
the secret service money. A. discussion arose, which
was more than usualiy animated., me Minister of, Abe
Interior openly proalaimed, that the,questiop .was,ona,
which was to determine the tate of the Cabinet. The
Extreme Left, or ultra-Liberal party. voted with the
" 221," or MOLE section of the- Chamber, against
THIERS ; the Royalist section stood aloof, voting
neither with nor against the Ministers ; nevertheless
the Cabinet obtained a majority both of persons and
votes, This majority is, however, so small that we
cannot understand how THIERS can undertake to face
the Chambers as Premier, unless he contrive very con-
siderably to augment it. Of the Committee, which is
composed of nine Members, the Ministers returned
five—namely :—MM. CAUMARTIN, BERVIL, BBRGER,
HAVIN, and DEFITTE ; and the Opposition, or 221,
MM. LAMARTIN, HARLE, WUSTEMBERG, and AMIL-
HAU. The votes obtained by Ministers were 191, and
by the Opposition 183—the result, upon the whole,
being a bare majority in the Committee, and eight
votes in the Chamber. This will certainly not suffice
to keep the new Government in office. There
are, it is true, twenty-five Royalist votes in
the Chamber not yet disposed of, and could
THIERS secure these, he might carry on the war till the
end of the Session. But to be supported by the
Royalists, and opposed by the Republicans, would seal
the political death-warrant of the new Premier. If he
fail to attach to him O'DILLON BARROT and his party,
he is, in the present temper of the Court and the
" 221," irretrievably lost. As the Report of the Com-
mittee is not likely to be presented to the Chamber
before Wednesday or Thursday, and as the debate upon
it may be expected to occupy four or five days, M.
THIERS has a week before him, which, if well employed,
may yet turn the balance in his favour. Now is his
time to throw himself manfully upon the support of the
people—to prove that he is in earnest in invoking the
principles of the Revolution of July. If he fall with
dignity his restoration to power is certain ; but if he
suffer the Court to dishonour him before casting him
off, he will sink, never again to make his appearance
above the political horizon.
The Journal des Debuts has along article on the re-

lrtive conditions of the French and English navies,
written with a view to corrcct certain statements

in the late debates on the Navy Estimates in the
House of Commons. From the article in the
Dcbats, it would appear that the real strength
of the French navy has been greatly underrated by the
British Government, and that the naval superiority as re-
gards ships, men, and materiel, belongs unquestionably to
France. As this question is of very great importance,
we shall take a more particular notice of it in a day
or two.

There is no other domestic news of any moment in
.he Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday. The fol-

lowing particulars, relative to the much-talked-of alliance
between Great Britain aid Russia, are from the pri-
vate correspondence of the Commerce of Saturday :
ANGLO- fi USSIAN ALLIANCE.
(Private Correspondence of Le Commerce.)
BERLIN, Nlaaen B.—Two da, s ago a Cabinet Messen-
ger of the Court of St. James's arrived at the E.lglish Le-
gation, bringing despatches which are connected with the
&fifthly° col elusion of the Anglo_ Russian alliance. Baron
Bulow, our Ambassador at London, had sent, immediately
on his arrival In that city, the assurance that the negotia-
tion between M. Brunow and Lord Palmerston were on

the eve of being closed in a manner satisfactory to the
Northern Powers. On the other hand, it is affirmed that
Count Bresson, who has lately returned to Berlin, has de.

dared that the French Cabinet abide constantlyinbtyiniltastpacitie
not to :outdo
intentions, andltiheahtenitiehtasAalliretandayt chauesewdasan
on the support of France, if he did not show moderationp
in his pretensions. It is true that at the time of M.
Bresson'a departure from Paris, the Tillers Cabinet (which
was announced to our Government by a telegraphich
despatch on the very day of the arrival of the Frenc
Am-
bassador) was not yet constituted, but the influence which
Louis Philippe exercises over the foreign policy of his
Ministers is too well known for us to fear that a change! of
the Cabinet will make any essential change in it. It is
therefore very probable that before the arrival of the Here-
ditary Grand Duke of Russia at Darmstadt, M. de Bru-
novv will have successfully accomplished his mission to
London ; and this is the meaning of the German Journals,
which say that M. de Brunow will leave London to re-
ceive the Grand Duke at Darmstadt. The marriage is to
take place in April.—Le Commerce.

SUDDEN DEATH OF THE MASTER OF GRANT, M.P.
—Letters from Invernesshire on Saturday announce
the very sudden death of the Master of Grant, M.P.
for that county, who had arrived the night before at
Cullen House to attend the funeral of his late much-
lamented mother. We understand that Mr. Henry

Baillie, the eldest son of Colonel H. Baillie, left
London on Saturday evening as a candidate in the Con-
servative interest for that county.
At Goldsmiths' Hall Prince Albert, after having re-
ceived
the freedom and clothing of the Company,
walked up to Alderman Copeland and, shaking him by
the hand very cordially, said " Oh, Mr. Copeland, I
remembered having seen you at the Mansion-house
when you ere Lord Mayor." " Your Royal Highness
does me very great honour by the recognition," said
Alderman Copeland, who, it is believed, did not exactly
recollect the occasion of the Prince's visit. " Oh,"
added Prince Albert, " You may remember a little
fellow who accompanied the Princess Victoria and the
Duchess of Kent after their Royal visit to St. Paul's.
I was that person."
CUSTOMS DUTY.—A return of the gross and net
amount of Customs Duty collected at each pert of the
United Kingdom during the years 1838 and 1839 has
just been laid before the House of Commons. The
following is the net amount received at the principal
ports in 1839 :—London, 10,783,654/. ; Liverpool,
4,080,512/. ; Bristol, 1,058,172/. ; Hull, 843,988/. ;
Dublin, 808,174/, ; Glasgow, 805,256/. ; Leith,
455,129/. ; Newcastle, 444,075/. ; Belfast, 313,8161.;
Cork, 212,047/, ; Waterford, 161,7521. ; Gloucester,
156,365/, ; Limerick, 128,6031.; Sunderland,lo4,oB4/.;
Dundee, 83,792/. The total gross revenue in 1839
was, for England, 19,772,679/. ; Scotland, 1,699,1311. ;
and Ireland, 2.026,6741. ; making an increase of
298,328/. over that of 1838.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We have received. Cape of Good Hope papers to
January 5.
While the colonist 3 were looking around for a supply of
labourers, a new source has suddenly been opened by the
capture of t vessel engaged in the slave trade on the eas-
tern coast of Africa.
These captures have been effected under the new Act
for authorizing her Majesty's Government to seize vessels
fitted out for this trade under Portuguese colours.
PORT NATUI..-The troops, &c., from Natul have ar-
rived; this is the end of the expedition.
Frontier—Some thefts are reported to have taken place
from the immediate frontier, but generally it is admitted
depredations have been unusually rare of late. In Graham's
Town, when the post started, it was reported that some
Caffres had attacked the Fingoes in the neighbourhood of
Fort Peddie ; a detachment of troops bad been sent to the
spot, and another, it was said, was about to be added to
reinforce them.
We shall give some particulars respecting the evacuation
of Port Natal in our next.

The following is a satisfactory notice, which appeared
in yesterday's Gazette .
Juvenile Emigrants—The inquiry which was, by adver-
tisement of the 13th of September last, requested to be
made into the condition of the juvenile emigrants serving
in this colony under indentures made by the Commissioners
under the Ordinance, No. 3, of 1836, having been brought
to a close, his Excellency the Governor desires thus pub-
licly to offer his thanks to Majors Longmorc, Piere,
Barnes, and Captain Hill, for the manner in which they
conducted that investigation.
" His Excellency confidently trusts that those Reports
will satisfy her Majesty's Government, and effectually dis-
abuse the public mind in England, as to the general treat-
ment and actual condition of those apprentices ; and he
deems it just to record his opinion that the Parent Society
in England, as well as the Commissioners on the spot, de-
serve the thanks of the community, instead of the unme-
rited reproach to which they have been subjected.
" JOHN BELL,
" Secretary to Government.
" Colonial-office, Cape of Good Hope,
" January 2, 1840."
Extract of a letter from Port Natal, Dec. 20 :—" I
take the opportunity to inform you how we are getting on
here. As the English troops leave this place to-day, we
shall have a regular free port here now. A custom-house
is about to be established by the Government of the emi-
grants. Fresh emigrants are coming over the Droogberg
in great numbers. Dingaan and Panda remain quiet, and
continue to make protestations of friendship ; they are,
however, cautiously watched."

We have received Rio Janeiro Papers to the 12th of
January. Exchange on London 301 to 31 ; Stocks 771
to 78.

The Lisbon mail of March 9th has arrived by the
Royal Adelaide steamer. The electioneering contests,
and the Government measures to carry into execution its
plans for securing a majority in the new elections, is the
only intelligence brought by the above mail.

We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yester-
day's date.
AMSTERDAM, MARCH 13.—Accounts from Utrecht state
that the Belgian Commissioners, as well as the Dutch,
have arrived there, and have changed notes. It is ex-
pected that the, affAirs will be finished before the close of
the session.

FROM THE HAGUE, MARCH 13
—They write that the
Commission charged by the King for the reduction of the
new project of the fundamental law have finished their
labours. The Council of State had an extraordinary
meting Aesterday to examine the new project, and to give
their adiiice to the King on its contents.

lIALF-PAST ONE.

The chief operation in the Funds this morning is the
settlement of the Foreign Account, which up to the
present hour is going off easy. The paying and receiving
of the puts and calls have been to some extent, and I per
cent. is given to carry over the Accnunt. Money is scarce
in the House, which is generally the ease on account day.
Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at

The tea sales comm:nced this tnorning, and the brokers
gave notice that it was the determination of the merchants
not to sell at the present prices. The consequence of
which was, with the exception of fine green tea, great part
of the sales were withdrawn.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.—Mrs. Glover having
been necessarily compelled to vacate the chair ,if the Ladies'
Club, by her prior engagement at the Haymarket, the duties
of the President will be fulfilled by Mrs. Stirling, and a better
selection could not have been made, as that lady. is in every
respect worthy
of being the successor of the eminent actress
who has just relinquished the post. Mrs. Stirling makes her
first appearance this evening, not only in the popular and clever
piece above named, but also in a one act drama called Love and
Charity, in which she will sustain three. different characters.
This lady will probably give additional interest to the Ladies'
Club, by imparting to the principal character new features,
which she is fully qualified to do by her personal beauty, her
lively spirit, and stage accomplishments. The piece itself bids
fair to have a long career of success.
The Opera was fashionably attended on Satur-
day evening. a't'e observed the Duke and Duchess of Mont-
rose, Earl and Countess of Jersey and Lady Sarah Villiers,
Countess of Essex, Lord and Lady Palmerston, Lady Fanny
Covrper, Countess and Lady Wilhelmina Stanhope, Lady Gran-
ville Somerset, Prince Valentine Esterhazy, Baron de Palm,
Lord Alfred I'aget, and the Duke of Devonshire and party.
No one in the house was more amused at the avant scene stu-
pidity of one of the domestics than the last-named Duke : his
Grace laughed incessantly for some mintees.
A LONG SLEEP.—The following is an extract
from a letter which was received a few days ago by a person in
this town, :rom a relative in Yorkshire may mention a
remarkable circumstance which astonishes the people in the
place. There is at present in the neighbourhood of Hudders-
field a man that has been sleeping for the last thirty-one weeks.
Shots have been fired in the room in which he sleeps, and it
was also suggested to open some of his veins. which was done ;
but every effort failed in rousing hiin, and yet his breath and
pulse are going quite regular. It is sid that the same indivi-
dual has had two similar dozes before now ; the first lasted for
two months, and the second for five months."—lnverness
Courier.

THE MARKETS. _.(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE,

The arrivals were good of all descriptions of Grain last seek,
and a considerable quantity of Flour. The fresh supply has
been moderate. Wheat. met a very dull trade, and except for
superfine was 2s. per quarter lower than last Monday. Barley
also met a heavy trade, and hardly maintained its former value.
Beans and Pease sold slowly at their late quotations. Good
Oats firm in value; other sorts could be purchased rather
lower. A dull trade for Flour, and ship parcels hardly main
tained their prises.

TEA SALE (FIRST DAY).
The monthly public sale of Tea, consisting of nearly
3,000,000 lbs. of various descriptions, has commenced. The
previous dull state of the market caused the sale to be very flat.
There were very few buyers present, and very little indeed sold.
The great holders were afraid to try the market, and the ne-
cessary consequence was that a great deal was scratched. So
very insignificant was the bussiness done that nothing can be
said about the prices obtained.

- COLONIAL MARKET.
No public sales, and but very little done privately.

DEATH OF THE EARL OF MORLEY.—It is
with feelings of deep regret that we announce the demise of
the Earl of Alorley, who, according to accounts received in
town yesterday afternoon, died at Saltram on Saturday morn-
ing. The deceased Earl, who had been an invalid for some
time, was Earl of Morley, Viscount Boringdon of North Mol-
ten, and Baron Borindon, County Devon, in the Peerage of
the United Kingdom, and was born the 3d of May, 1772: His
Lordship was consequently in his 68th year. He succeeded
his father, the first Baron, the 27th of April, 1798 ; was mar-
ried twice—first, the 20th June, 1804, to Lady Augusta Fane,
second daughter of the Earl of Westmorland, which marriage
was dissolved in February, 1809, shortly after which her Lady-
ship remarried the Right Hon. Sir Arthur Daget, brother of
the Marquis of Anglesey ; and secondly, in August. 1809, to
Miss Frances Talbot, daughter of Mr. Thomas Talbot, by
whom his Lordship leaves issue Viscount Boringdon, now Earl
of Morley, born June 10, 1810. An express arrived in town
from Saltram on Saturday morning with the melancholy intelli-
gence of the Earl's serious illness, when Viscount Boring-
eon immediately left for Devonshire, as also his late Lordship's
sister, the Hon. Mrs. Villiers.—A Correspondent communi-
cates the following additional particulars, from Plymouth :
" His loss will be most severely felt in this neighbourhood,
where he was universally respected and beloved. Few noble-
meti possessed the public spirit he did, for whenever any plan
calculated to promote the public benefit was suggested, he was
always ready to use all his interest in promoting it. Among
the improvements in this vicinity for which we are indebted to
his late Lordship is the beautiful bridge of the Laira, in con-
nexion with the new road to Totnes.. His Lordship also, some
years since, established the Plymouth Races, on a fine piece of
ground called Chelson Meadow, adjoining Saltram Park, and
situated about a mile and a half from Plymouth. Chelson
Meadow originally formed part of the Laira Water ; and in
1809 his Lordship procured an Act of Parliament for forming
an embankment, whereby several thousand acres were made
available for tillage, and part now forms the race-course. His
Lordship patronised in the most liberal manner all the public
institutions of Plymouth, and all the charitable societies had
his name enrolled as a subscriber. The present Earl and Lord
G. Lennox are Gentlemen of the Bedchamber to Prince Albert.
THE TYEIAN.—VV e have already stated that
by extraordinary efforts this ship was a few days ago dragged
over to the Essex shore, and struck on the shelf at Grays. She
has been ever since gradually drifting nearer the shore. On
Friday afternoon the tide ebbed very low, and a number of
seamen, including the survivors of the crew of the Tynan, pro-
ceeded on board the lighters for the purpose of obtaining
their chests, hammocks, arid clothing, but they were unable
to do so in consequence of the vessel being still under water.
On Saturday the tide ebbed somewhat lower than on the
preceding day, which enabled the seamen to obtain a view of
the entrance to the forecastle. A boat-hook was lowered
into the forecastle for the purpose of dragging up anything
that could be laid hold of. The carpenter's chest, filled with
clothes, was the first thing brought up. A great, quantity of
clothes was afterwards drawn out of the forecastle, and
' ultimately the body of a lad named Mason was brought up.
He was attired in a blue checked shirt, drawers, and stock-
ings, and it is supposed he was about getting into his hammock
when the collision happened. The body of Mr. Sheen, cabin
passenger, whose father has since died of grief, was soon
afterwards taken out of the forecastle. He had all his
clothes on, and his hat was on his head. In his pockets
were a pair of duelling postols (loaded with bullets), a watch,
and a large bunch of keys. The bodies were covered with
mud and sand ; they were taken to the Commercial Hotel
at Gravesend. The bodies were not at all decomposed, and
bear no marks of violence. They remain at the Commercial
Hotel, awaiting the coroner's inquest. No time has yet
been fixed for holding the inquest, end we believe there is
some difficulty as regards jurisdiction. The bodies have
been claimed by Curtis at Grays for the Essex coroner, on
the ground that the vessel was nearer the Essex than the
Kent shore when the collision took place. Yesterday morn-
ing at low water, the seamen belonging to the Tyrian reco-
vered more property, and also discovered the head of one man
and the feet of another. They were, however, so firmly im..
bedded in sand and mud, that it was found impossible to re-
move them. From the position they appeared to be n, it is
believed the poor fellows were asleep in their hammocks when
the Manchester ran foul of the ship, and the sudden rushing of
the water into the forecastle caused the death of every person
within it. There can be no doubt that the other bodies will be
recovered this day, and it is confidently expected that the
Tyrian will be aground on the Essex shore by to-morrow or
Wednesday next. No part of her cargo has been yet recovered.
It is a fact that the place where the Tyrian was sunk was with-
iin a few yards of the place where the coal-ship William was
run down three years ago by a Scotch steam-ship.
The Grass Parks of Preston Grange and St.
Clement Wells, which were let en Monday last, brought from
£3 to *.:s 4s. per Scotch acre, averaging an increase of 10 per
cent. on the rents of the year preceding.
