Con-EXCHANGE, JULY 4.---Nkre had no fresh
Arrivals this morning, and the s des made hi
Fine Wheat were at Monday's prices, but Ordi-
nary is very dull ; Barley is also chill, and rather
lower, but there was very few sales made. In
Pease and Beaus there was no alteration.

THE THEATRE.—We were present again at
Covent-Garden Theatre, list night, at the per-
formance of " The Gentle Shepherd," and more
and more regret that such a delightful Opera should
be so barbarously curtailed. All the Music of it,
as we remember it to have been performed many
years ago, is of a plaintive cast, and exquisite to
the greatest degree ; and we partictdarly lamented.
the omission of the two, beautiful Airs—" At
Sitting Day and Rising Morn," and Speak
on, speak on, and still my Grief." Ttre part
of Peggy i 3 particularly suited to Miss STEPHENS.
in every respect, as much perhaps as any that she
appears in : and- the Songs allotted to it, one
would almost believe, had been _composed par-
posely for her. That enchanting singer gave
one Scotch air most beautifully, and was encored
in it, as were DUAL/SET and SINCLAIR in a charm-
ing duet 'at the beginning of the piece, which they
sung inimitably.—We hope another season to see
and hear this opera on a less contracted scale.
PEDESTRIANISM EXTRAORDINARY,—Yesterday
afternoon, at ti. e o'clock, Darby Stevens started
on Wormwood Scrubbs (on the same ground that
Eaton walked), to perform 500 miles in 20 days,
backwards. Stevens, who has been for sonic time
in training in the vicinity of Bow, is a stout young
man, 2.5 years of age, and about 5 feet 6 inches
in height. He performed two miles three-quarters
in the first hour, and was then travelling on in
the presence of a large _crowd o•f spectators. The
wager is for 501. and bets are 10 to l against his
accomplishing it.
The Earl of ABERDEEN has the horse upon
which his brother, the gallant Sir ALEXANDER
GOanou, was mounted when he was killed at--the
battle of Waterloo. The animal is a beautiful
black charger, not seven years old. His Lordship
.suffers no one to ride him but himself, or his
brother's groom.
Lieutenant Mooße, who saved the lives of two
men in Calais harbour, as lately detailed in the
Moniteur, when belonging to the Royal Sovereign
yacht, has been promoted to the rank of Com-
mander. •
Yesterday a Court-Martial assembled at NVliite-
ball, for the purpose of inquiring into Charges
preferred by Dep. Commissary General O'MEARA,
against Colonel GRANT; of the 18th Regiment
Hussars ; Lieutenant-General Sir ALEXANDER
CAMPBELL, President. The result has not trans-
pired.

A circular letter from Lord PALmr.rtsToN noti-

On the.24th instant, and the issues for the
various services at present paid through that de-
partment will, from and alter the above-mention-
ed date, be made by tie Paymaster-General of the

Eorces.
Yesterday a Board was held at the Admiralty
for the adinissiOn of Wounded beamen•iuto Green-
wich Hospital.
Count ROS!ANZOFF, a Russian Nobleman, no
less distinguished for his eminent talents than his
great wealth, has lately undertaken several most
patriotic projects for the instruction and im-
provement of his countrymen. He has built four
churches upon his estates, for different sects of
Christians : he has also, at his owt; expence, en-
gaged and sent a vessel round the world on a
voyage of discovery : lie is also about to establish
some schools on the recently discovered system of
education, for the direction of which he has sent
for a competent English Instructor.
A serious accident happened in St. James's-
Park, near the Horse-guards, yesterday, between
two and three o'clock. A groom, who was hold-
ing his master's horse, as well as his own, was
prevailed upon by an active but poor lad to let
him mount the unoccupied saddle : the lad, how-
ever, had scarcely mounted before the horse took
fright at the clumsy erection connected with the
sewers, which stands almost in the middle of the
Parade. The boy was unable to manage the erea-,
ture, which galloped off at full speed, and in a
few seconds he fell over the horse's head.: the
horse-in galloping away appeared to -kick bim.—
The poor youth lay motionless, and .giving no
other symptoms of life except by occasionally
rolling his eyes, from exquisite pain. Mr. Govt.-
BURN, the Under Secretary of State in Lord BA,
TnunsT's Department, saw the accident, we be-.
lieve, from one, of the windows- of the Horse-
guards, and hastened to the spot. With prompt
humanity, he immediately gave orders for procur-
ing a shutter, which was instantly brought, and
Mr. GOULBURN, with great anxiety and feeling,
accompanied the boy to ‘Vestminster Hospital,
'and waited till the Surgeons pronounced the case
not to be mortal.

fected. Fresh Leaders spr;ng up instantaneously,
in the room of those who are api)reliended ; and
be assured they nie not dt ficient in penetration,

activity, spirit, or aliy of the qualities requisite
for taking advantage td a relaxation in tiie reins
of Government. Although trade has re: iced
tuck an extent as to afford much more general
employment to the working classes ; although the
cheering prospect of an uncommonly abundant
harvest has already produced a sensible impression
on the markets for the first necessaries of life;
yet the poison of seditious Writers has sunk so
deep into the minds of the great mass of the ma-
nufacturing population, that there is too much
reason to fear the present generation will continue
discontented and - rebellious, though Providence
should enrich the land with the most bounteous
blessings. In the meantime, however, all is pro-
mising and quiet, and there can be no reason to
dread further danger from the disturbers of the
public peace, if they are. made to feel, by unre ►
-
mitting vigilance, that every fresh attempt to exe-
cute their atrocious designs must terminate in ruin

themselves, an in increased security to the

State.

The accounts of the soldiers who have_pome in
from Huthlersfield prove that the state of that
quarter has been still more alarming than was hi-
therto supposed. Tile military are by no means
disposed to exaggerate, in the reports of
po-
pular commotions. The very men who have now
returned trom Huddersfield were also at Man-
chester, where they assisted in dispersing the
Blanket Expedition. Ut► their return from that
service, they treated the whOle affair with ridicule,
and increased the delusion, under ►which many
persons laboured as to the true state of the coml.;
try, by asserting that they could observe no ten-
dency to outrage either at Manchester or in the
line of their march. The Manchester-Heroes pro-
fessed to march peaceably to London for the pur-
pose of presenting their Petitions ; and the soldiers,
though they did their duty, thought little import-
ance (and perhaps son►e injustice) attached to
the- dispersion of a body of unarmed Petitioners.
But at IHuddersfield and the neighbourhood their
services have been of the most harrassing descrip-
tion. There. they have repeatedly seen numerous
bodies of their armed enemies ; though, from the na-
ture of the country, ►which is woody and mountain-
ous, and intersected ►with stone ►calls, they were
newer• able to come at sword's-length with the flying
bodies of insurgents, who had accurate intelli-
gence of every. movement of the -military, by
means of various•sihnals, which were almost con-
tinually at work, and whic!► enabled them uni-

torady to defeat dl the efforts of, the cavalry to
come up with them. The soldiers, therefore,
have had the fatiguing duty of scouring the coun-
try night and day, and of ultimately.putti►ig down
the insurgents by. celerity of movement and labo-
rious exertion., instead of what would have been
more agreeable to them, because more speedy and
decisive—a single skirmish,—which, there can be
no doubt, would have been the last. The disaf-.

fected. confined themselves to pillaging mouses of
arms, either because they were too vigilantly
watched, or could not muster in sufficient force
for more daring and important operations ; and
this practice, it is said, is still partially con-
tinued. Gentleman whO resides in the neighbour-
hood of Huddersfield informs me, that during the
two or three days immediately 'preceding the
intended general rising, great numbets of strange
men were constantly passing his house. towards
Huddersfield from the North ; and it is a gratify-
ing circumstance, that within the last kw days
the numbers are as great of men apparently. re-
turning, to their homes, amongst. whom he recog-
nizes -many of the former,
.itinerants. They ate
in the most wretched condition, and receive with

eagerness such portions of food, &c. as are cha-
ritably bestowed upon them, even by those who
suspect that their Journey to that neighbourhood
has been for no good purpose.
A few more Public hints, Sir, conducted on
the sound principles, and with the ability and
spirit of THE SUN, _are much minted. They
would do more towards preserving the peace of
the country, neutralizing the malignant operations
of a seditious press, and bringing back the thinds
of the deluded multitude to a sou.:id state, than

can be accomplished either by military force nr by
the terror of the laws,
