The accounts lately from Egyptstate, tlt
pro-
gress of the cultivation of cotton, and the general improvements
in that country exceed the most sanguine expectations which
were entertained ; it has attracted British capitalists and
merchants to such an extent, that a sum of 30,000/. in specie
has lately been shipped for that quarter. The money Was taken
on board ships of war to Malta, and from thence re-shipped to
Egypt.• Last week above 1,000 bags of cotton from this quar-
ter were sold in the city ; and at Liverpool, we understand, the
arrivals during a week have frequently amounted to two and
3,000 bags cf the finest cotton wool.
The French Papers state, that, at .the op-
: proaching Assizes at Toulouse, a horrible proem will be sub-
, mitted to the Criminal Court.. It is nothing less than that of a
mother, if the sacred name may be so far profaned, charged
with the foul crime of having burnt her only child !
Some officers of the 10th—or rather some per- '
' sons in the costume of that regiment—were not: many weeks
since invited to a party given by a lady of fashion residing in
one of the squares in Dublin. The invitation was accepted,
and the lady, anxious to lose no opportunity of contributing to
the entertainment of her guests, seeing these affected coxcombs
stanging aloof from the social circle, and appearing to look dis-
contented, asked them. to join the dance. The stiff and con-
ceited reply was, " The 10th don't dance." She then asked
them to go to the card-table. The reply was, " The loth don't
plav cards." The lady, even after tliese ridiculous replies,
still anxious to please them, asked them to join the party in the
music-room, " The 10th don't like music" (arid we should be
surprised if they did, for that would be a proof of some civi-
lization) was the reply. The lady naturally chagrined at such
impertinence, left them to shift for themselves till supper time.
On supper being announced she expected the leth would be
consistent in their negative character, but having more regard
for their appetite than their consistency, they were proceeding
to the supper-room, when.the lady said in a loud tone, she sup-
posed the 10th did not sup. The gentlemen went off, regretting
the loss of their supper.—( Morning Paper)

CAPTAIN PARRY'S SECOND VOYAGE.

In our copious statement, on Saturday, of this
interesting work, we were unable, for want of
space, to notice the description which this intrepid
Navigator of the Frigid Zone gives of the recep-
tion experienced by the Expedition on its return
to the shores of this country. It was a recep-
tion that will for ever greatly reflect to the credit
of the inhabitants of Lerwick, while a neglect,
nearly as cold as the hemisphere they had been
navigating, has apparently been extended towards
them in other quarters. From this apathy the cities
of Winchester and Chichester must be exempt, for
both of them, with highly praise worthy zeal, lost
no time in recording their approbation,and conferr-
ing on Captain PARRY and on Captain LYON the
freedom of their Corporations. Had these ven-
turous individuals belonged to some Radical fac-
tion, requisitions for meetings would have been
called to confer a mark of approbation upon
them—while their claim for extending our Geo-
graphical knowledge of the world, and planting
the English standard in almost its Northern
limits, are not deemed worthy of the smallest at-
tention in other places. A monument to the me-
mory of litcoo—a thousand pounds to the Spa-
niards—were subjects of far greater moment
for the consideration of some of the turtle-
eating citizens, who would have been loud in their
rake and lavish of their honours, had some new
land been discovered from whence their appe-
tites for politics and feasting could have been
supplied. In addition to the two cities men-
tioned we must not omit to state, that on Captain
PARRY'S- landing at Whitby, accompanied by
Mr. FISHER, the astronomer, they were received
by the cordial greetings of a great number of the
worthy inhabitants, who expressed the warmest
congratulations on the return of the Expedition.
Captain PARRY'S words are,

" 1 feel it utterly impossible adequately to express the kind-
ness and attention we received for the three or four days that
we were detained in Bressay Sound by a continuance of un-
favourable winds. °tithe first information of our arrival the
bells of Lerwick were set ringing, the inhabitants flocked
from every part of the country to express their joy at our unex-
pected return, and the town was at night illuminated as if each
individual had a brother or son among us. On the 12th (October '
last) being Sunday, the officers and men of both ships attended
Divine Service en shore; when the worthy Minister, the Rev.
Mr. Menzies, who was' before well known to many among us,
offered up in the mast solemn and impressive manner a thanks-
giving for our safe return ; at the same time calling upon us,
with great earnestness, never to forget what we owed to Him
who had been ' about our path, and about our bed, and
who spieth out all our ways.' The peculiarity of the cir-
, curnstances under which we had joined the congregation,
the warmth of feeling exhibited by every person assem-
bled within the sacred walls, together with the affectionate
energy of the preacher, combined to produce an effect, of which
words can convey but little idea, but which will not easily be
effaced from the minds of those who were present on this affect-
ing oeca4ion."
Ina note, Captain PARRY adds—
..

" This faithful Minister and most estimable member of
society has since gone to receive the reward of his labours; but
he will long live in our grateful remembrance."

THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 29.

The arrivals Of last week were again tolerably good, but of
Oats they were very large. This morning there is only a mo-
derate quantity of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Peas, from
Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, and but few vessels fresh up with
Oats, so that the market to-day is composed chiefly of good
quantities of Corn which remain from former samples. Prime
day's samples of Wheat have sold freely, and rather exceeded
the terms of last Monday ; but all other qualities sell heavily.
Barley for maltsters fully support the rate last quoted. Beans
have no variation in value. Grey Peas fully support their last
quotations ' • Boiling Peas are very dull. Prime Oats sell more
freely, and the quotations of last Monday were fully main-
tained for this article. The Flour trade is unaltered.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

Extras!: from the Morning Papers, Marsh 29

[Tuft TIMIS.)
We understand that, by a secret treaty with
the Dutch, the island of Sumatra has been ceded
i❑ full sovereignty to that Government, in return
for the undisputed possession by the East India
Company of the new settlement at Sincapore„ and
some vague and unprofitable territorial rights on
the coast of Malacca. Of the conditions of this
treaty, which has been made through the me-
dium of the Board of Controul, nothing is yet
known ; but it is strongly suspected that the
Dutch, who possess a characteristic shrewdness
on points of this nature, have had the best of the
bargain, and that they will have acquired, by
this treaty, on very easy terms, the complete
ccnltroul over the growth of spice in the Eastern
Archipelago. Itisto be hoped that some Mem-
ber of either house of Parliament will put such
questions to Ministers as will lead to some in-
formation on the general merits of the trans-
action. One thing is certain, that many very in-
telligent individuals, who are perfectly well
acquainted with the countries in question, speak
of the measure in a tone of indignant reprobation.

[MORNING CHRONIGL/I.]
No person in the present day, in the least de-
sirous of being thought well-informed, hesitates
to admit the importance of the science of Poli-
tical Economy. It is to be lamented, however,
that the knowledge of its doctrines by no means
corresponds to the estimation in which it is held.
—Too many, if we may judge from the confident
manner in which the most erroneous economical
opinions are every day delivered, at Public Meet-
ings, and in the Houses of Paliament, would seem
to suppose that this science differs from all others in
the circumstance of no previous study being requi-
site to its acquisition, that on any one of the points,
of an extensive field in which every object should
be viewed in connection with the whole, it is as
natural for a man of common sense to reason cor-
rectly as it is for a man in ordinary health to eat
when his stomach is empty, and to digest what
he eats. Others again think that when they have
avowed themselves partisans of free trade, and
expressed their dislike of restrictions, nothing
more is required from them ; just as some poli-
ticians imagined that nothing more was necessary
to secure the independence and happiness of a
people than to declare them free. We have al-
ways considered it a disgrace to the country of
Smith and Ricardo, that notwithstanding the ge-
neral conviction of the importance of the science
of Political Economy, no provision should
ever have been made for the conveyance
of instruction in its principles. Our Universities,
we know,are not expected to keep pace with the
age, but surely the interval which has elapsed
since the first publication of Smith's Work is
more than sufficient for deliberation whether that
science, on the correct application of the prin-
ciples of which the welfare of the community is
dependent, should be communicated to the youths
to whom the destinies of the nation are one day
to be committed. In this metropolis an attempt
is for the first time about to be made to supply
the deficiency. Some friends of the late Mr.
Ricardo, wishing that a tribute of respect should
be paid to the memory of a man who had so emi-
nently contributed to improve the science, and
conceiving that the establishment of a Lecture-
ship on the Science would be peculiarly appropriate,
from its relation to the pursuits of that distinguish-
ed individual and its public utility, have raised a
suitable fund and made the necessary arrangements
for that purpose, and a .Course of Lectures will
he delivered, the first on Monday next, by Mr.
M'Culloch, of Edinburgh, a gentleman whose
reputation as a political economist stands de-
servedly very high with all who are acquainted
with the present state of the science. His
writings in The Edinburgh Review, and in the
Supplement to The Encyclopcedia Britannicu, and
in other publications, display a clearness and
simplicity which peculiarly qualify him for the
situation which he has consented to undertake.

[BRITISII PRESS.]
The state of Ireland still continues unsettled
and alarming. New riots, new murders, convic-
tions, and executions, fill every column of the
Irish Papers. The Orange banditti still disturb
the North, while the desolating tithe system is
yet in its worst activity, creating discontent and
murders in the centre and south of Ireland.
This state of things cannot endure much longer,
without convulsing that island from end to end.
The tithe laws are the bane of the peasantry;
they press upon them heavy as Egyptian exac-
tion on the Israelites. They cannot maintain
two churches : it is too hard they should have
to pay the Protestant Clergymen enormously
for doing nothing, beside contributing to the
support of their own Pastor too. The Tithe Bill
of last Session has been rejected by two out of
three of the assembled parishes in Ireland : it has
failed in rendering any relief to the people at
large : its only effect has been to roeso the ava-
rice and raise the incomes of the Clergy of that
country, already enormously over-paid. Lord
Kingston, on Thursday night, in the House of
Lords, gave a striking picture of the effects of
this Bill, and the abominable tithe system, as
now prevailing in Ireland. Dr. Woodward, a
Protestant Clergyman in the South, had (Lord
Kingston stated) let his tithes in 1809, the period
of war and high prices, for one thousand six
hundred pounds a year, and now he wants, under
the new Bill, two thousand pounds from the parish
as a moderate composition in these prosperous
times, and the beneficent Minister was proceed-
ing to recover the assessment he chose to impose,
by all the legal horrors of the tithe code. The
receiver-general of this worthy and disinterested
clergyman, Lord Kingston stated to be a fellow
of the name of Delany, a tithe-proctor, so rapa-
cious and exacting as to have acquired, through
that country generally, the name of " Cruel De,
jany." This is the man the meek end benevo-
lent Dr. VE oodwp,rd employed on his missions
of mercy among the peasantry. It is in this way

the unfortunate people are scourged and plun-
dared by the agents of the tithe system. With
such facts as these before the public, who can
wonder at the dreadful results that so often and
so generally follow ? In fact the 13111 of last
Session seemed framed for the exclusive benefit
of the clergy; its object appeared to be to give
back to the church the tithe of grass-land, of
which it had been deprived by the agistment of
law of the Irish Parliament. We know that
many of the Irish clergy viewed it in that light,
and hailed its enactment as a restoration of church
property.

[MORNING POST.]
The Requisition for a Court of Common Coun-
cil to Petition against the renewal of the 'Alien
Act, appears to us, after the late divisions in Par-
liament on that Bill and the modification intro-
duced into the measure by Mr. Secretary Peel,
a piece of mere officiousness. We need scarcely
say that we are among the last who would un-
necessarily limit or shackle the hospitable re-
ception of Foreigners in this free nation, the
natural asylum of those unfortunate Patriots whose
love of liberty, whether just or misdirected, may
have banished them from their native countries.—
There is no privilege, on the contrary, com-
patible with our own safety and an honourable
neutrality, which we should not rejoice to see
Aliens enjoy among us ; and that every where
England should be esteemed the Temple of Free-
dom, within whose precincts the fugitive would
find a safe retreat from the persecutions of des-
potism, is equally consonant to the feelings and
the interests of the empire. Why then, it may
be asked, do We support a continuance of the
Alien Act ? Our answer, we think, though
bordering on an Ilibernicism, is conclusive,
namely, because its existence prevents the
employment of any such measure. No fo-
reigner, we are well assured, has ever hesi-
tated to seek refuge in England, however ob-
noxious to his own Government, from a belief
that the Alien Act would on that account be en-
forced to repel or expel him from the British
shore; but the knowledge that if his conduct
when here were inconsistent with our foreign re-
lations, a ready and immediate means was at
hand of sending him out of the country, has we
feel certain averted the necessity of resorting to
such an unkind and inhospitable step, except in
two or three instances, during the last ten years.
To this it may be objected, that if there was no
Alien Act, no Alien could he driven back upon
his pursuers. Upon that point we fearlessly take
up the ground chosen by Mr. Secretary Canning,
and say—that wherever the power lie, in the
Crown or in Parliament, as an essential conserva-
tive principle of the Constitution and State, the
power must exist somewhere, and in all cases de-
manding its exercise,—if not expressly delegated
to Ministers, as the responsible advisers of his
Majesty, they would not only be justified, but
bound to banish any foreigner whose residence in
the country endangered the peace or contravened
the honour of the realm. True, it would after-
wards be competent to any Member, of either
House of Parliament to move for the grounds of
such expulsion, or adopt any other course,with the
view of arraigning the conduct of Government
in acting as we have supposed. But what then ?
Why, the whole question would become first a
matter of discretion with Ministers, whether the
grounds upon which they proceeded against the
Alien should be made public or not—and next
if they refused to produce them, whether Par

liarnent confided in their wisdom sufficiently to
support a refusal of the information. Let the
opponents of the Alien Bill then recollect, that
the safety of the State leaves only a choice
of difficulties. If the present situation of
Europe be such as to cause apprehension that
some of its inhabitants might abuse our hospitality
to our prejudice with other Powers, whether is it
better that Parliament should provide a remedy
for the evil, and thereby warn Aliens against
it, than, without any notice to the same effect,
men should be allowed to commit themselves, and
Ministers, on their mere responsibility, be com-
pelled to punish them arbitrarily. There serious-
ly can be hut one opinion on the subject; and
those who oppose a limited renewal of the Alien
Act at present, must have made up their minds,
that, without it, there is no probability or possi-
bility of any foreigner acting during his sojourn
here in such a manner as to compromise our cha-
racter and amity with other States.

[NEW TIMES.]

Considerable interest was excited in the City on
Saturday, by the arrival of expresses bringing
information that the French Funds had on Thurs-
day advanced to 104 f. This intelligence pro-
duced more than the usual animation in the
Money market, and a general rise in all Funded
Securities took place in consequence. The plans
of the French Minister of Finance have been
received by the Parisian capitalists in a very fa-
vourable manner, and it appears to be the gene-
ral opinion that the Rentes will advance still
more before they arrive at a quotation equivalent
to their value compared with the Securities of
other Powers. The reduction of interest on French
capital being carried into effect under such favour-
able circumstances, will form an additional in-
ducement for other European Powers to fol-
low the example set them by the British
Ministry ; and we have already stated that such
measures are in contemplation on the part of
Russia, Prussia, Naples, &c. The Bonds of

these nations have been gradually advancing to
par ; the Bonds of Russia were on Saturday 97,
Prussian Bonds 100,f., and those of 1822, 98i.
Danish Bonds were also at 100. It has been assert-
ed that the new French 3 percent. Stock is already
at a premium of 10 per cent. in Paris. In London

the price of Rentes was 103, and the Scrip of the
new Loan 16 17 premium. Notwithstanding the
vehement opposition which has long prevailed
at Madrid against recognising the Bonds of the
Cortes in any manner whatsoever, we learn
upon good authority that a negotiation is on
foot between the Spanish Government and some
leading Capitalists for a new Loan, in which it is
proposed that the old Bonds of 1821 shall be
taken in part payment. A line we apprehend will
still be drawn between those Bonds and the Secu-
rities issued after the 7th of July 1822 : and the

latter will be irrevocably disavowed. This distinc-
tion is in fact commanded by equity. At what
price the other Bonds will be allowed (if at
all) is matter of much dispute : they are at pre-
sent in our market at 214. Consols closed
on Saturday at 9584. by which the several
gambling policies effected at Lloyd's have been
determined to the great loss of the Underwriters.
A confident expectation appears to be entertained
by experienced persons, that Consols will reach
par before the end of the present year.

The application was resisted on behalf of the Globe Insur-
ance Company, incumbrances to a large amount on the estate,
as it would, if granted, materially affect their interests.
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought he could not accede to
the application in its present form. Besides, the whole of the
creditors were not before the Court.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the bill might be di-
rected to be amended, and a fresh application then made upon It.
The LORD CHANCELLOR declined directing the bill to be
amended ; and was of opinion that it ought to be dismissed
with costs, but without prejudice to any subsequent application
which the parties might think proper to make.
COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—coNST V. HARRIS.
Mr. HEALD applied that Mr. Robertson should have leave
to be proposed to the Master, as a fit person to he appointed
receiver to Covent-Garden Theatre, notwithstanding his hav-
ing been made a party to the bill.
The Solacyron-GENERAL objected to the appointment of
Mr. Robertson, as an interested party, and accountable for the
profits.

Mr. HART, to show that the plaintiff's objection was not
captious, said that he was ready to consent to the appointment
of Mr. Barton, who was now willing to accept the office.
Mr. SUODEN stated, that a proposal had been made to the
plaintiff to purchase his share for 1,5001,, for which Mr.
Harris's bond would be given as security.
Mr. HART would as soon take Mr. Harris's word as his
bond; but his client required some other security.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that he had only intended
that the Master should exercise his judgment upon the fitness
or unfitness of Mr. Robertson to he appointed receiver. His
accountability would cease upon his appointment.
Mr. HEALD said that was all he asked.
Mr. SHADWELL asked his Lordship to make some order as
to the profits in the receiver's hands.
The LORD CHANCELLOR would deal with this as with any
other property. lie would hear a motion respecting the appli-
cation of the funds, after a receiver was appointed.

THE MARCUM:4E9s or BUTE V. THE HON. SIR C. STUART.
In this case a question had arisen as to whether or not a cer-
tain quantity of coals upon the banks of the collieries, together
with certain sums of money in the bankers' hands, debts due
by customers, &c., passed under the words in the late Mar-
quis's will, " the things used in the working, management, or
employment of the collieries." The case haying wine before
the House of Lords, their Lordships decided that they did not
pass under those words. An application was made to the Court
of Chancery to carry that judgment into effect, and the Lord
Chancellor directed certain inquiries to be made in the Master's
office for that purpose.
31r. HART now applied for a variation in the minutes of the
order directing the inquiries; which was resisted by the Solici-

THE LATE SIR G. R. COLLIER.

( From the Hampshire Telegraph of Saturday last.)
The melancholy death of Sir GEO. COLLIER
will excite the deepest regret and most lively sympathy of the
British Navy; for no officer of his standing in the service was
more generally known or
higher in estimation, as a brave, ex-
perienced, clever seaman, and most generous, warm-hearted,
friendly man. It must be regarded as not the east remarkable
case, that the American frigate Constitu.
circumstances are related by Mr.
tjori , circumstance
who
whose
in
escape,this
as
the
JAMES, in his Naval History, was the cause of his death, was
actually the ship he had been previously.blockading several
and which he had taken every
mmeoannthsstoininßduocsetotno
chil)marebo out and
and fight the Leander. A letter,
addressed to us by one of his gallant companions (then First
Lieutenant of that ship), Proves the anxiety of his mind to en-
gage the enemy even single-handed, and must dissipate the
unfounded insinuation of Alr. James. As well was it truly
said by another gallant Oker, on the Coroner's Inquest--
might fear be attributed to Lord Nelson as to Sir G. Collier.
It is certainly as impossible to impute to his conduct the want
of personal courage, as -0 1. den} the natural urbanity and
courteousness of his manners. The following is the letter al-
luded to :

" Fountain Inn, Portsmouth, March 28, 1324.
" Having learnt, with deep regret, the melancholy termina-
tion of the brave Sir George Collier's existence, which truly
unfortunate circumstance occurred no doubt from the ma-
lignant statement of a Naval Historian, I think it but due
to the memory of that Gallant Officer, to state a circum-
stance which happened during the time that I had the ho-
nour of being First Lieutenant of the Leander, under iir
George Collier's command, when blockading the American
frigate Constitution, in Boston Harbour :—A fishing-boat
came off' with several Americans who asked permission to
visit his Majesty's ship, which was immediately granted.—
Sir George Collier and myself accompanied them round
the decks, when one of them observed, ' You are a larger ship,
but I do not think that your men are so stout as ours on board
the Constitution.' To which Sir George made reply, They
may be very little, but their hearts are in the right place, and
I will thank you to inform the American Captain, that if he
will come out and meet the Leander, I will pledge my word and
honour, that no British ship shall be within twenty leagues ;
and further, if my ship mounts more guns than the Constitution,
I will throw the additional ones overboard.' This challenge
the American, who appeared to be an Officer, promised to
convey, but I do not assert that the American Commander
ever received it. But 1 wish to show, as much as lays in my
power, Sir George's anxiety to engage that ship, which the
Naval Historian declares he shunned, at a time when he had
treble her force under his command. Although I had not the
honour of being with him at the time (for an honour it was to
sail with so noble a character) he chased the American, yet I
can venture to affirm, without the least fear of contradiction,
that no British seaman was ever more anxious to chace the
enemies of his country than the heroic, but calumniated Sir
George Collier.
" I remain your very obedient humble Servant,
" FRANCIS MEAD, Commander R.N."
