FOralGti FUNDS.-Nothing doing except in
Spanish 13ands and Colombian.—The Spanish
Ambassador has sent a letter to the Foreign Stock
Exchange, stating that he has taken off his objec-
tions to the new Spanish Loan for svoightv rea-
sons, and accordingly acknowledges it.

We have pleasure in referring our Iteadera to
an able and interesting communication from Mr.
OWEN of New Lanark, in answer to a second at-
tack which has been trade upon that enlightened
and practical Philanthropist, by the Presbytery
of the Parish iu which his village is situated.
It is probably in the recollection of our Readers,
that we, some months since, deprecated the in.
quisitorial power assumed by the Presbytery, of
endeavouring to force the, Calvinistic Creed
of the Kirk of Scotland into a private semi:
nary of education. We lifted up our voice
then, as we do now, against the principk ton-
tended for by the Presbytery, and against the
right, which they seem to arrogate to themselves,
of interfering with private concerns ! As to the
allegations advanced by them respecting the .
management and condition of New Lanark,
these have relation to matters of fact, and are
triumphantly refuted by Mr. Oi,vEN in the mate-
ment contained in our present paper, as well
as by the united testimony of all the pettotts
who have visited his establishment, from all parts
of the world. Indeed, it is well known, that
Mr. Owes is so far from exerting his influence
for the exclusion of the Bible and the study
of religious exercises from his school:, that
divine worship is daily practised, and scrip-
tural instruction is regularly given, in 14s
own family,, where his authority is para-
mount, and front which he could therefore
have banished them at his pleasure, if he hat!
been so disposed.—As one of the chief °lista/4.s
to the adoption of Mr. OwcN's Plans has been
the unfounded apprehension that his syetots,
would be prejudicial to religion, it is g-
tifying to think that every fear upon 10
point must now vanish before the plain and un-,
answerable statement ota

The Government of Algiers (says a Dutch
Paper) has returned to its despotic proceedingi.
A ship laden with various hales of 'goods, and
hound to Algiers, was ohligea, imconsequence of

• a storm, to be at the expence of 10,000 francs,
for repairs at Marseilles and Nice. On its arrival
the captain would not unload until he was indem-
nified for the expenses, which he proved by
proper documents. Those to whom the cargo
was addressed complained to the Deb•, who or-
dered it to be delivered to, them, adding, that it
was not the custom at Algiers to make any allow-
ance for averaze. MI the European agents pro-
tested against this decisiqn, which is contrary to
the law of mations; bat the Dey persisted, and
the 'captain was compelled to give up the cargo
without receding any indemnity.

Advises from Zante and Corfu, contained in a
letter from Trieste of the 24th ult., mention that
the Turkish fleet in that neighbourhood was in a
state of great insubordivation, and that the plague
prevailed on board many of the ships. That of
the Greeks:n.kaintained a position' favourable for
an attack, but their navel commander had deter-
mined to delay it, until disease and the mutinous
spirit of the sailors had weakened the Turkish
fleet in a still greater degree.

The Glasgow Courier states a report that Mr.
CANNING IS likely to visit (; laggow, and promises
him, of course, u very favourable reception. It
is, however, hardly probable, that much as the
honourable gentleman may be desirous of visiting
place of such commercial importance, that his
official duties ill atlord•ltim sufficient leisure for
that purpose.

It appears certain (says a letter from Am-
sterdam), that as soon as the !sc..: Canal in North Holland is
aompleted, that the Yssel will be separated from the Zuyder
Zee by means of a dam and sluice. The harbour of Amster-
dam, which every year costs a great deal of money to cleanse,
will then no longer fill up, and the adjacent country will be
secured against inundations.
It affords us much pleasure to learn that Miss
CuusteE's popoular novel of Isobel St. Albe is
now dramatizing by an able pen, and is likely to
be brought forward very shortly on the Dublin
Stage. Many of the scenes are so essentially
dramatic and picturesque, as
,to require little
:alteration in order to 'adapt them for theatrical
;representation.. To have. selected such an inte-
resting production,as the ground-work of a Melo-
drama, evinces good taste, and we can only say,
that we sincerely wish it that success, which the
valuable qualities of the subject ought to ensure.
Dis cov EDS SU I PS.—A look-out vessel, with.provisiops, it
is understood, will shortly be dispatched to Lancaster Sound,
in search of Curtain Parry. It is said that those Northern Seas
remain dear et ice until the winter Is somewhat advanced ; if
be the case, it may not yet be too late, to make the search ;
id perhaps some of the whalers lately returned from Davis's
traits, which are particularly fitted for, and used in the navi-
atlon of those seas, would be the best calculated for the eater-
