The Palace at Hampton Court is not exhibited to
the public on Fridays, says a Correspondent, who was
one amongst some score who went yesterday to see it,
and were disappointed. It is open every other day in
the week, even on Sundays, but it is closed on Fridays.
The gardens are open every day. What is the differ-
ence between the exhibition of pictures in this Palace
and in the National Gallery, that one is to be opened
and the other is kept closwd on Sunday, we must leave
the Bishop of London to decide. The fanatics ought
not to tolerate such a discrepancy, neither ought the
liberals, and both places should be opened or both closed.
We like consistency, and bate half measures.

" Saturday Evening, Six o'Clock.—The Quebec Ga-
zette of yesterday evening stated that a frigate WAS
beating into port. She arrived in port about seven
o'clock, and proved to be the Vestal, from Halifax. I
understand that three or four vessels of war are on their
way up to Quebec, and that the principal officers of
these vessels are to constitute the court at which Cap-
tain Drew will be tried. The weather has been beau-
tiful and cool since yesterday.
" His Excellency leaves town to-morrow for Upper
Canada, and it is said will not return until about the

" STATE OF TRADE.—A more than usual number of
Germans and other emigrants have passed through Buf-
falo during the week, accompanied by some considerable
quantity of merchandize. The quantity of flour and
wheat cleared at the Canal-office, during the first week
in August—Flour, 12,091 barrels ; Wheat, 14,400
bushels.

THE FUNDS.
The French papers received this morning state that
the Bourse of Paris was greatly agitated on Thursday,
and that the French Funds fell 3f. ; about four o'clock
it was reported that Beyrout was taken by Commo-
dore Napier, but four ships sunk in the attempt. That
and other reports caused the above decline.
We are sorry to confirm the report of an extensive
Hebrew failure in Consols. The defaulter is much re-
spected, and related to one of the first commercial
houses in the city. The exact sum he has gone for is
not known as yet, but we hear it is to a considerable
amount.

Account, opened this morning at 87j f, with little
doing as yet ; Money, 874 ; Exchequer Bills 10 12

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—A little before five
o'clock yesterday afternoon, a fine little girl, about three
years old, the daughter of Mr. Pamenter, of No. 27,
Old-street-road, fell out from the second-floor window, the
height of 35 feet, on the pavement, and dreadfully frac-
tured the back part of her head. The top sash of the
second fleer window being down, and very low, the little
girl, unperceived, overbalanced herself, while looking out
of the window, and in her descent she fell on a large um-
brella, which is suspended in front of Mr. P.'s shop, to
show his trade. This circumstance fortunately saved the
poor child's life. She was taken up, sad at first the little
sufferer was thought to be dead. She was immediately
taken to Messrs. Colyer and Blachisore, surgeons, of Old-.
