" ROYAL DECREE

_
" Desiring to re-establish in their force and vigour the
fundamental laws of the monarchy, in order that what has
wisely been provided for the case of a minor monarch as-
cending the throne may obtain full effect, and anxious to
raise on a solid and permanent foundation the prosperity
and glory of this magnanimous nation, I have ordered, in
the name of my august daughter Donna Isabella 11., after
consulting the council of regency and council of Ministry,
that the !needing royal statute for the convocation of the

General Cortes of the kingdom be kept, fulfilled, and ob-
served and promulgated with due solemnity.
" Aranjuez, April 10, 18.34.
" To Don Francisco Martinez de la Rosa,
President of the Council of Minitth.rs."

I'. S. Since closing, my lettcr I he.ve been informed, on
respectable authority, that a ecnsickrable portion of the
force which was destined for the in of Portugal has
been ordered to proceed with :he utmost de',patch to the
northern provinces, and that, in fait,- a strong detachment
is already on its way to Navarre in cars-and waggons,
which have been collected for the sake of greater expedi-
tion on a plan lately announced in an official circular of
the Minister at War. •

THE DERBY

The result of the Craven Meeting has been a thunder-
bolt to the .Manchester books, as a matter of course, no-
thing but Plenipotentiary and one or two others being
worth a thought ; however, the First Spring Meeting may
give " the fieldsmen" fresh courage. Thus stand the
prices :

HOUSE OF LORDS, April 22.

Also a petition from the Isle of Anglesea, for a repeal of
the corn laws.
The Earl of R 0 SEBERRY presented a petition from the

The noble lqrd trusted that on the second reading of the bill,
as it involved matters of so much importance, and of so novel
a nature, it would be referred to a select committee. The
noble earl also presented petitions from parishes in Ayr, in
favour of the present system of church patronage in Scot-
land ; and for the better observance of the Sabbath.
Earl HOWE presented several petitions from the
dissenters of parishes in Derby, praying for relief.

of Parliament would be called to so important a subject.

COLONIAL MARKETS.

The Markets for Colonial and other produce are not firm,
but an opinion is entertained that, as the spring advances, in.
creased activity will be observed. The public securities having
attained high prices, it is thought that capitalists will soon turn
their attention to products, many articks of which the prices
at present are comparatively low,

BRITISH PLANTATION SVGARS.—Not much doing, and the
sales of the week ending this morning scarcely amount to 1,000
hhds. Were tales pressed, prices would recede. Barbadoes
Sugar Ilas been sold at 575. to 61s. 6d. per cwt. for middling to
fine qualities.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—The demand is not so brisk as last week.
Strong Yellow Havannahs have ?etched 245. to 265. 6d. per cwt.,
being Is. per cwt. lower,

EAST INDIA SueAn.—The sales have nearly amounted to
10,000 bagSt F4t a decline of about Is. per cwt. In Foreign
Sugar:: little has been done.
REFINED SUGARS.—The Market is now well supplied With
goods, but the export and home demand is limited.

SPICES.—The sales of Pepper have established a firm market,
At improved prices.

Rum AND iSRANDY.—The quantity taken for home use is
pretty Large, and prices are still firm at the late rise. The
Brandy market is lower—lst marks are 3s. 9d. to. 4s. 6d.; 2d
marks at 3s. 3d. to 34. 6d. ; and other qualities at 3s. to as, 3,1.
per gallon.

COFFEE.—British plantation Coffees have fallen this week
2s. per cwt. East India and foreign Coffees support their value;
some bold ordinary St. Domingo have fetched 605., and good
ordinary Batavia 565. per cwt.
Rice.—The public sales have gone off flatly, and most of the.
Madras and Bengal qualities offered have been bought in.
CorroN.--The sales of the week are about 1,200 to 1,500
bales at Md. per lb. advance.

DRUGS.--Some considerable calks of Drugs took place-yes.
terday, and on the whole they went off well. Camphor was
sold at an improvement of about 5 per cent., fetching 61. 6s. per
cwt. Barbadoes aloes went off at 17!. 16s. to 204 per cwt. ;
and Colieus 'Adieus at las. (id. per cwt. in bond.
Sea.nzraE..—The market for this article remains flat, with
but little doing at Is. per cwt. decline.

Stmt.—Thenear approach of the East India Company's sale
sit Bengal silks has tended to pervert business to any extent,
The sale is expected to go off at advanced prices.
THE WOOL num—Them continues to be a good demand
for wools, and the late high prices are maintained. The
arrivals from the Continent are limited. The deliveries re.
cently have 4en pretty large, and the accounts from the manu-
facturi,ng districts represent trade as brisk, though the very
high prices now attained by wool rather check business.
TAt.Low.—The market is now quoted at 445. 6d. to 445. Sol.
per cwt.

HOLYHEAD HARBOUR.

We have been favoured, by a gentleman who attended the
Hunt Meeting at Holyhead, on Wednesday week, with a list of
the vessels then lying in the Harbour, wind-bound, which were
above 80 sail, cleared for different parts, viz :—The West
Indies, South America, Africa, Alexandria, Mediterranean,
Spain and Portugal, as well as Coasters and Irish Traders. It
appears also that he has made himselfacquainted with whattook
place at Holyhead Harbour during the many tempestuous gales of
this winter, and the local advantages of the place as an asylum
port to the trade of the Channel, and finds that the average
number which annually take shelter within the Pier is above
1,000 sail, exclusive of his Majesty's packets, and that their
tonnage some years exceed one hundred thousand tons. He
further observes, that the security it affords has been proved,
during the present month in particular, when so many disasters
have occurred on other coasts generally throughout the chan-
nel, no damage whatever has been sustained in Holyhead har-
bour, or about its entrance. It should be known, to the credit
of the commissioners, that no means are neglected for the
safety of other vessels, as well as his Majesty's packets. A
strong chain is laid down across the entrance, which grapples
the anchors when they are driving out, and a storm-boat
is kept continually afloat, with a most powerful cap-
stan, and warps to assist them in ; these have been the
means of saving some vessels during the late heavy gales. The
pre-eminent advantages of the harbour as a Packet Station
are well known, and it is highly to the credit of those con-
cerned in the Post-office establishment, when the efficiency of
the packets has been so fully proved, and which also de.
monstr.tes the zeal and ability with which the com-
manders have performed their arduous duty, that the
London mail has not been detained more than ten
minutes in any one instance throughout the winter, but
the packets have invariably started as soon as it was put on
board, which is generally at eleven at night, consequently there
has not been a storm throughout the present winter, without
two of the Holyhead packets being out, exposed to its fury,
which they have weathered without any damage whatever.—

THE FUNDS.-(THIS' DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

A mail has arrived from Rio Janiero by the Reynard ; sailed
on the 19th December. Also papers from Buenos Ayres, by
the above conveyance, to the 10th December, received at the
North and South American Coffee-house. These papers con.
firm the accounts we gave yesterday in our City article, via
Havre. These papers state that, on the 4th, General Viamont
was elected Governor and Captain-General of the Province of
Buenos Ayres, in the House of Representatives, when he made
a short speech. Two Proclamations were addressed byViamont
on the 7th instant, one to the citizens, and the other to the
army. The troops of General Pimedo, consisting of about
six thousand cavalry and a thousand infantry, entered Buenos
Ayres, and were passed in review before the Governor.
(Posted at the North and South American Coffee-house.
" Falmouth, Feb. 17.

"Thelieynard packet arrived this morning from Rio Janeiro,
but brings no news of importance, only that the disturbances
at Buenos Ayres had been quieted. She has brought home the
new Brazilian Minister, Senhor Rebeira, and suite, with about
16,0001. freight on the Brazil Mines' account."
By the French mail this morning, the accounts from St.
Jean Pied dp Port, of the Bth instant, state that the Spanish
Government have at length sent a strong force into Navarre.
Quesada has arrived at Pampeluna with 4,000 men, and Valdez
was following with an equal number.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

In consequence of a very large arrival of all kinds of Grain
this week, the' trade for every article in the Corn Trade is so
very dull to.day that sales cannot be made without submitting
to reduced prices. The Flour trade is also exceedingly heavy,
and ship parcels are offering for less prices.

CONIBINA TION IN FRANCE.—Four journeymen
wheelwrights of Blois were last week found guilty by the Tri-
bunal of Correctional Police of that town of forming a coali-
tion in order to compel the master wheelwrights to reduce
their labour one hour a day. Two of them were sentenced to
imprisonment for ten days, and the two others for five days._
French Paper.

BRUTAL ASSAULT.—We have just learned that
two men from Ballygariett, who had been placed by Mrs. Fer-
neyhough as keepers on the goods of a tenant named Ryan.
at Ardaloe (about three miles from this city), who owed her
a considerable arrear of rent, went yesterday morning to a
public-house in that neighbourhood, kept by the widow Phe-
lan, for the purpose of getting their breakfast. While.there
three men entered, and having first ascertained who they were,
attacked them in the most savage and ferocious manner with
reaping hooks. The two unfortunate men are cut in a most
dreadful manner, and if their lives are spared, they will, at all
events, be cripples in future, as the ruffians cut the back sinews
of their legs.—Kilkenny Moderator.

MURDER OF CONSTABLE FEELY, AND AltitkST
of ins MURDERERS.—We regret to say that Constable Feely,
who, as we stated in our last, had been brutally and inhumanly
beaten by a ferocious and reckless mob, opposite tho Petit
Sessions House at Ballinonty, on last week, has since died
from the effects of the wounds he received on that day. This
ill-fated man bore a most respectable character, and was ever
found most punctual in the discharge of his several duties.
lie was a married man, and has left a wife in an advanced
stat-e.
of pregnancy, and four children totally unprovided for, to de.
lore his loss. An inquest has been held on his body by Mr.
PCormack, Coroner, and a verdict of " Wilful
culmurder" returned.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Accounts have been received from Rio Janeiro to the 21st
June, stating that the Commissioners appointed by the Cham-
berof Deputies for a reform in the Constitution, have made
their report.—First, that the Regency should in future be in-
vested only in one person ; second, each province is to have a
Legislative Assembly of from 20 to 36 members. Perfect
tranquillity prevailed, and all the symptoms of trouble which
exist since the revolution has been put down, with the
condition that Don Pedro has given up all idea
of coming to the Brazils, gives a guarantee for the
future tranquillity of the empire. The funds are higher.
Although the Augsburg Gazette continues to publish un-
favourable accounts of the situation of Mehemet Ali and his
son Ibrahim in Syria, information has been received from va-
rious quarters confirming the re-establishment of order in Syria,
and authentic letters say that the Lucagne Gazette, from Alex-
andria, of the 26th of June, announces that Mehemet Ali had
concluded a peace with Syria, granting a general pardon.
The Indicateur states that Zumulacarreguy is kept in check
on the mountains of Bastan, while Rodil was in pursuit of
Don Carlos, and had arrived at Mendragon. Don Carlos
was endeavouring to gain the mountains.
We are again this morning without any arrivals of import-
ance. The express from Paris gives us another Bayonne
despatch of the 25th inst. by the telegraph, stating that Don
Carlos left Donna Maria on the 22d inst. for Elisondo.
The accounts from Madrid of the 20th inst. do not furnish
any thing novel or important ; Spanish comes higher, 334 ;
Renter 75f. 15c.
Consols, which left off yesterday 904 for the Account,
opened at the same price, and for Money 90.
Spanish, which left off 451 are at the above price ; Por-
tuguese 811 82.
This being paying and receiving day for the Account in
Consols, little business is doing as yet.

HALF-PAST ONE.
It is reported that a house in the woollen trade stopped pay-
ment this morning. The engagements are about 90,0001.
In the early part of the morning, the Spanish and Portu-
guese Stocks had the appearance of maintaining their prices ;
but, within this hour, the market has become very heavy, and
given way. _ _

Spanish receded one per cent., from 45 to 441 ; since
which it may be quoted at 441 x.
Portuguese Stock has taken the same turn, from 811 82 to
80i1 I; it is now 801 H.
The receding of the latter Steck may be attributed to bills
for a large amount having been drawn from Lisbon by Don
Pedro's agent, for account of bullion to be sent there ; but
these bills, having experienced some difficulty in being cashed,
caused a large amount of Portuguese Stock to be thrown on
the market to meet the acceptances.
Consols are also not so good as in the early part of the day,
when they were 904 for account, and are at present 90 to 1;
for money, 891.
London, England, 1834-08-28

QUEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday John Clarke, a porter in the employ of Mr.
Fincham, a teadealer, of No. 55, Charing-cross, was brought
up in custody and placed at the bar before Mr. White,
charged with robbing his master.
Mr. WHITE fully committed him for trial, and the par-
ties were bound over to prosecute.
After the prisoner was removed from the bar Mr. Fin-
cham obtained a search warrant.
Just as the Magistrate was about to leave the bench two
police constables returned, one with a sackload of property
over his shoulder, and the other with a handkerchief full.
Woodberry found a great quantity of tea, coffee, cocoa,
vermicelli, arrow root, and other articles of grocery. The
teas were of the best sort, gunpowder and hyson, and
amongst other things he found a quantity of very handsome
address cards of various colours, with the prisoner's name
engraved in old English letters----" Mr. John Clarke."
Mr. White ordered the property to be produced at the
trial of the prisoner, and he could be indicted for stealing
the same, if he was acquitted on the first charge.
Win. Mascall, the driver and proprietor of a Greenwich
coach, was summoned by Davies, a timekeeper at Charing-
cross, for standing opposite to the Salopian Coffeehouse
and plying for passengers.
The Complainant failed in proving that the defendant
was plying for hire, and the case was dismissed with costs.
London, England, 1834-08-28

RAMSGATE, AUGUST 27.

The Ramsgate steam packet arrived on Mmday evening,
bringing upwards of 50 passengers, among whom were the
Right Hon. Sir Aug,. John Foster (his British Majesty's. En-
voy at the Court of Turin), carritiger4 and suite. Yesterday
the vessel went to Dover Regatta with up Nftris of 200 pas,
severs, and returned in the evening.
This morning she again started for Calais, with about 60
passengers.

Thin favourite watering-place has now to boast of a very large
assemblage of rank and fashion among its visitants, the daily
arrivals being very numerous. The Countess of Ashburn-
ham, the Countess of Beauchamp, the Earl of Kinnoul and
family, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Ashley, Lord Cowley,
&c. &e. &c. The Duke of Wellington honoured the town
yesterday for a short time, on a visit to his nob!e brother.
Mr. Osmond G. Phipps gave a splendid concert last even-
ing at the Assembly Roams, Albion Hotel, assisted by Miss
Clara Novello, Miss Birch, Miss Addison, Messrs. Stretton,
Allen, Mr. Goodban, from Canterbury, &c. About 200
fashioiables were present, and the performance went off with
great eclat.

- Mr. W. H. Phipp's "performance on the grand pianoforte,
of the air tarn," by Pixis (Robin Adair) drew thunders of
applause, on account of the superiority of his execution and
rapidity of his movements.

QUEST IN THE KING'S BENCH PRISON.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Star—ln your yesterday's report of the King's Bench In-
quests, you fetched a keeper from Fulham instead of Bedlam,
—owing, I suppose, to the crabbedness of my hand-writing.
As there is no reason for imagining that the Fulhamites are
more mad than their neighbours, it may be as well to correct
the error, and restore the said keeper to his natural domicile,
Bedlam.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.

ANECDOTES OF JOHNSON -AND LORD
MONBODDO.

You would have enjoyed seeing him take me by the hand
in the middle of dinner, and repeat, with no small degree
of enthusiasm, many passages from the " Fair Penitent,"
&c. r urged him to take a little wine ; he replied, " I
can't drink a little, child, therefore I never touch it ; absti-
nence is as easy to me as temperance would be difficult:
He was very good-humoured and gay. One of the com-
pany happened to say a word about poetry. " Hush,
hush," says he, " it is dangerous to say a word of poetry
before her ; it is talking of the art:of war before Hannibal.'
He continued his jokes, and lamented that I had not mar-
ried Chatterton, that posterity might have seen a propaga-
tion of poets. The metaphysical and philological Lord
Monboddo breakfasted: with us yesterday : lie is such an
extravagant adorer of the ancients, that he scarcely allow.:
the English language to be capable of any excellence, still
less the French ; he has a hearty contempt for that people
and their language ; he said we moderns are entirely dege-
nerated. I asked, in what ? "In every thing," was his
answer. Men are not so tall as they were, women arc not
so handsome as they were ; nobody can now write a long
period ; every thing dwindles. I ventured to say, that.
though long periods were fine in oratory and declamation,
yet that such was not the language of passion. He
sisted that it was. I defended my opinion by many pas-
sages from Shakspeare ; among others, those broken bursts
of passion in Constance, " Gone to be married 1" " Gone
to swear a truce !" " False blood with false blood joined!'
Again, "My name is Constance. lam Geoffrey's wife ;
young Arthur is my son, and he is slain !" We then re-
sumed our old quarrel about the slave-trade ; he loves
slavery upon principle. I asked him how he could vindi-
cate such an enormity ? He owned it was because Plu-
tarch justified it. Among much just thinking and some
taste, especially in his valuable third volume on the " Origin
and Progress of Language," he entertained some opinions
so absurd that they would be hardly credible if lie did net
deliver them himself, both in writing and conversation, with -
a gravty which shows that he is in earnest, but which makes
the hearer feel that to be grave exceeds all power of face.
He „
.so wedded to system that, as Lord Barrington said
to me the ,Zher day, rather than sacrifice his favourite opi-
nion that men a; re born with tails, he would be contented
to wear one himself.-,..:Afemoirs of Hannah More."

AFFAIR OF HONOUR.—In consequence of a mis-
understanding arising out of a love affair, which occurred at
Dunmore betweon T— H---, of T—, Esq., and R—
B—, of C—, Esq., Mr. A_ sent a hostile message to
Mr. B—, and it was understood the parties were to have met
on Tuesday morning last in the vicinity of Tuam. It having
