IMORNINCi

We do not know that the time of the Legisla-
tore could be better employed than in devising
some effectual mode of putting an end to the
system of gambling which prevails in the Public
Is'unds. This practice appears to increase in ac-
tivity in proportion to the number of its victims,
and the mischief which it entails. It would not
be at all erroneous to assert, that to one bona fide
transaction in the Funds, there are at least twenty
of those time-bargains to which we allude ; and
so established and recognised is this practice
become, that these gamesters hold, as a matter of
course,their monthlymeetings called settling days,
at which they balance the gains and losses of the
game, and witness the ruin of each other with
all the indifference possible. No attentive ob-
server of the signs of the times will consider this
any exaggeration—on the contrary, it requires 110
very penetrating glance to perceive that its in-
fluence is not confined to the mere scene of its

operations, but extends into every corner of
the kingdom, undermining and destroying public
morals and domestic happiness. If Parliament
would not incur the imputation of straining at
gnats while it swallows camels, and will be
in any degree consistent with itself, it cannot
sit quietly and see the smaller buble of what
is called the State Lottery abolished, while
this greater Hydra rears its offensive and delu-
sive front with increased audacity and more liar..
dened aspect. It is no small scandal to the country
that the character of the first commercial city in
the world, and that of its high, honourable,
merchants, should be compromised in this
traffic ; and that its centre should be the vortex
where so much wealth and capital should be ab-
sorbed in pursuits so utterly foreign to any thing
like fair mercantile speculation. To point out a
certain remedy for so inveterate and extensive a
disease may be no easy task; but Parliament
must not be deterred by this difficulty, or misled
from turning its early and serious attention to an
evil which, more than any other, threatens the
very existence of national prosperity.

LONDON.
MONDAY EVENING, SEPT. 25, 1826.

We received last night. French Papers of the 22d
inst. and the Etoile dated Saturday, extracts from
which will be found in another column.

The principal feature in these papers is the Corona-

don of the Emperor NititOLAs, which confirms the
accounts previously received, that the ceremony was
unusually imposing, and Passed off with the utmost
good order and eclat. According to these accounts,
the Empress Motherthe main wheel of state policy
and intrigue,—divided the homage of the scene, and
contrived to 'beguile many of the spectators of their
tears by the natural manner in which she acted her
part—embracing both her sons with maternal joy, but
divided affection, bestowing on the favoured one. the
" all bail f" and rightftlinlieritanee of his imperial
brother. But conshMons of state policy weigh
more in such bosoms than the impulses of nature, and
we only regret to see a " mother's feelings" prostituted
to give a colour of reality to scenes where natural feel-
ings are but rarely suffered to intrude. The Archduke
CoNsTA NTIN E is said to have borne himself with the
best grace, under all, the circumstances of his singular
and unenviable situation. He knew, and must have,
felt that doubtful eyes were bent on him with strange
curiosity, not unmixed with fearful expectancy—while
others gazed with blighted hopes upon the man who
had cast a world away, and knelt second in homage
where he might have stood the first in adoration—the
absolute wonder of the scene. But he came, like an

unbidden guest, to his father's hall, where others were
doing the honours, and sat down to partake,
while his presence created mingled feelings of joyful
uncertainty, and outward welcome, but feverish
apprehension and secret reproof—and he departed

with more hearty wishes for his safety than the sur-
piise of his first appearance would allow the tongue
to utter in the overwhelming confusion of the moment
—a nsoment, the more trying, as the heart is more

con3cious of its own conduct, in compassing the de.
sired end, and that feeling must be soothed or. aggra.
vated, as the object to be attained was rightful or not.

ATROOFHAT,
with -a DOUBLE BRIM, 393 STRAND,.LON-
DON, opposite Cecil-street; and 10,- COLLEGE-GREEN,
DUBLIN.

The Complaints universally made of Hats manufactured on
the old principle, that they break, admit the rain in the Brim,
lose their shape, and get too large for the Head, induced °lion
and Co. to apply their attention to the discovery of a remedy
for these defects. They have, at length, invented a NEW
DOUBLE BRIM WATER-PROOF BEAVER HAT,
poAsessing superior Claims to public - patronage, and a de-
culed advantage over every other; for which they have obtain-
el ills 31ausTy's Royal Letters Patent, dated August 27,
1825.

This Hat .having a Double Brim, no rain can ever pene-
trate it, nor can the most severe wear break it : it cannot lose
its shape, soften, nor alter in size, as other Hats do by the
change of weather. For Beauty, Elegance of Shupe, and
Durability, it is unequalled : in fact, every defect common to
other !fats is counteracted, and every ground for complaint is
removed.

These Hats will prove the cheapest ever made, as they more
than OUTWEAR. TWO made on the old plan, price 30

Noblemen and Gentlemen accustomed to Field Sports, Tra-
vellers, Coachmen, and others who are much exposed to the
Weather, may now purchase flats which are perfectly impene-
trable.. by Water, and which will never break in the Brim nor
get larger In the Head.

Mu. O'KEEren.---The public, who have de-
rived so much entertainment from the works of
this dramatic veteran, will hear with regret that,
in a very advanced age, and deprived of sight,
he has hardly the means of decent support. Ile
had enjoyed a pension of twenty pounds a year,
but the Receiver of that Theatre does not con-
ceive himself authoriied to pay it under the re-
strictions of the LORD CHANCELLOR. It is not
to be supposed, however, that his Lordship could
have, intended that any of the restrictions which
Ire deemed necessary could be intended to de-
prive this literary veteran of, so humble a
stipend,. and so well-earned by the many
successful pieCes from his pen which were first'
represented at that Theatre, besides the
many others which are often performed
there. We think, therefore that, as the
annuity in question was granted by former Pro-
prietors of the Theatre, and, as we understand,
remained on the books, there can be little doubt
that the present Proprietors would be too liberal
to annul this scanty pittance to an ori.ginal and
humorous writer, many of whose works %rill re-
Main stock pieces on the Stage, who is old, in.
arm, blind, and necessitous, and that the Re.
cftiver in paying it would not only be sanctioned
47 that Lolr, CHANCELLOR, but receive his Lord•
ship's approbation.

We are glad to confirm the paragraph in THR
Surf of yesterday, taken from a Morning Paper,
that Mrs. WEBITEIt it to receive an annuity of
W. a year from the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND.
Considering, however, the sacrifice 0100,0001. by
her grandfather to the Northumberland Family,
end the munificent character of the present I)uke,
it might be hoped that the annuity would not
itava butt of so very limited a description.

LONDON,
JPEDNESDAY EVENING, 41f ARC II 22, 11126.

By a Ilamburgh Mail which arrived this morn-
ing, comcnuuications have been received from the
different Capitols in the North of Europe. It is

stated from Stockholm, that a Special Mission
to St. Petersburgh has been appointed, for the
purpose of attending the funeral of the late Em.
PERON who is styled His MAJESTY'S Friend
" and COmpanion in Arnis." Whatever may
be the sentiments and feelings of the Arch-
duke CONSTANTINE, who is said to entertain
a strong, friendship for the ex-Monarch of
SWZDEN---it were surely beyond probability, that
Ar.txminEn should have contemplated. the re-
m►oval of tl►e family of BERNADOTTE, from a rank
Which had received' such repeated confirmation
from every legitimate of Europe. The reigning
lrnperor NICHOLAS has avowed a resolution to

Persevere in the line of policy so steadily pur-
eued by ALEXANDER., of which his known friend-
ship for BERNAPOViE was a prominent feature.
It is beyond all question, that the accession
of BERNAnorru to the league against NAPO.
Ltort, contributed essentially to the result of
that event, which was justly considered as the
precursor of his fall, the battle of Leipsic.
Had he
remained firm to the interest of Nalco.
that memorable campaign might have ter-
minated with a different result, and there can be

414 rational ground for surmising that .the merits of
lituNAnorrE in that respect, have ceased to be
PPreciated by the Holy Alliance. If the resto-

RANK NOTES.

Mr. nitENFELL begged to draw the attention of the
House to the fact, that six persons had been already sentenced
to death at Lancaster since the Bank had res►tined its issues,
for forging or uttering U. flank of raigland notes, lie thouot
it highly necessary that the Bank, under such circumstances,
,hottid take measures to render their notes more difficult of
king imitated. Country bunk notes were seldom or rioter
forged, because the issuers took precautions to make their huh.
cation a matter of difficulty..

in opinion with the Hon. Member
'fi"nitnlrVyti;;."'..ritt.c,,i'lllT:k".l7:.liies were too ea►siily imitated. The
Froich prisoners, during the war, had forged them almost
out any machinery at all.

S Nem r.A.11 Pt.] CA T 0 2.t.—An elderly Gentleman, dressed
in a genteel suit at' black, whose name did not transpire, applied
to 11Ir. Alderman Cux yesterday,with great gravity antlearnest-
ness, for a warrant, to enable him to recover possession of u
favourite Torn eat. In vain did Air Ileresford, the clerk, ex-
plain, that as to animals which do not serve for food, and are
kept for whim or pleasure, stealing them did not amount to
larceny at common law ; nor was there any express statute for
the protection- of the tabbies. 'Fite old Gentleman continued
to be so pressing, that the Alderman, at length, yielded to his
importunities, so fur its to promise him a summons against the
party he complained of.
" Nothing but a warrant," replied the old Gentleman, " can
answer the purpose.. A mere notice to attend here on a future
day would quite defeat my object:"
" A warrant about a cat V' exelaimedthe Alderman ; " why,
if I were to grant it to you I should. be caricatured all over the
town. I cannot assist you. You may seek what remedy you
please."

The applicant replica that that was nonsense. A cat was an
animal as worthy of legislative protection as a dog, to steal
which, it was notorious, had been made a punishable offence
besides, his cat wore a ollar, which surely might be deemed a
subject of felony.

44 Well," said the Alderman, " whatever may be your no.
Lions upon that subject, I shall not grunt what you require."
lieroforti hinted to the applicant, that if he had au WO
a regard for the feline tribe, he had better petition Par!imam
to place them on a footing with the dogs.

THE StEAKiNG FRENCH GRAMMAR,
Y 3. V. DOUVILLE, PROFFOOR OF THE FRENCH LANGVAOE.

TO THIa UDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The .very flattering reception which the first
edition of my French Grammar has met with, has induced
me to revise the work with care and attention, and pub-
lish VI one volume, under the title of " THE SPEAKING
FRE;Not GRAMMAR." As French is generally learnt with
a view to conversation, my efforts have chiefly aimed at
rendering tl e speaking of this fascinating language easy to
English persons. To accomplish this great desideratum, I
have composed the essays of sentences most used in fa-
miliar discourse, which, uniting the greatest perspicuity in
their adaptation to the several rules, will afford the student,
from his first introduction to the language, an opportunity
of acquiring a useful collection of phrases necessary for con.
versatiott, while he gradually attains a thorough know-
ledge of the elementary principles and rules of Grammar,
without trouble or learning by heart. The nature of the
French Verbs is exhibited in quite a new and clear manner,
and the remarks on pronunciation are collected from the
present practice of the fashionable circlevin Paris. The
work is concluded by a treatise on French Prosody and
Versification. This is followed by a classified vocabulary
and a compendium of familiar sentences. The whole
Grammar, in short, has the speaking of French for its
immediate object, and I flatter myself it will be found
peculiarly adapted to the capacity of the generality of
learners, being divided into sixty
.easy lessons and essays,
which will prove no less instructive than agreeable.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'F,

The attention of those present (consisting of several., of the men
of business, and a good number of the higher classes) was chiefly
directed to the outsiders, many of whom were backed to a cen-
siderable amount, and some new ones brought up. Lord Caven-
dish's Espartolle colt warrants the. opinion we have before ex-
pressed of him—being now the second favourite ; a very few days
will no doubt see him at the head of the list. We subjoin the
odds at the close of the Rooms at six o'clock.

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK AND Loss OF
Lvirs."—T Wellesley, a fine ship, bound from Liver-
imiolroHiobde Marquis Wellesley,
Jiad been driven by stress of weather
into the harbour of Holyhead, patted from her anchors during a
tremendous gale, on Friday night,
and, being soon dashed upon
the rocks, .over which the sea broke with the greatest fury, ehe
almost immediately went to pieces, when, melancholy to relate,
the entire of the erew,-*eventeen in number, met a watery grave.
The full particulars of this shipwreck have not 'yet reached us.
The Mersey steam-packet, from Liverpool to this port, was
obliged, to put into Holyhead on the same night, and entered the
harbour just after. the Marquis Wellesley had gout to pieces, but
not in time to afford the lent assistance to the sufferers, had evert
the state of the weather rendered it practicable. We understand
the..Atarquis Wellesley was insured with one of the Irish. Coln-

The supplies of the past week were moderate, and this morning
there is a tolerable good arrival of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and
Pease, from Essex and Kent, but little from other parts. Prime
Wheat alone has commanded the attention of our millers to-
day, and has rather exceeded the terms of this day se'nnight.
Barley slow of sale at last quotations. Beans are heavy, and Is. to
Rs. per quarter cheapet•. Pease are Is. per quarter lower. There
is rather more stiffness iu the Oat trade than on Friday last, but,
to make sales, la. per quarter reduction must be submitted to
from the terms of last Monday. The Flour trade remains in an

NEW MAIL ROAD BETWEEN LIVERPOOL
AND LONDON.

The following letter from Mr. Huskisson, respecting the
rormation of a new line of road from London to Liver:

pool was received on Sunday. One part of the proposed
.plan is to erect a bridge over the Mersey at Runcorn, by
which, and other improvements, the. saving in point of
distance will be about 22 miles, and the expense, it is es-
'timatcd, will be about 250,0001.:—
Somerset-place, Nov. 24, 1826.
Derir Sir—Mr. Freeling having just sent to me a few copies of
the report of his Majesty's Postmaster-General to the Lords of the
Treasury, accompanied by a report and plan made by Mr. Tel-
lord, in relation to a proposed improvement of the road between
.London and Liverpool, I have much pleasure in transmitting a
copy of the documents for the consideration of the members of the
association over which yOu preside.
You will perceive, on a reference. to them, that the distance
would be so much shortened, and the road so much improved, as
to save, according to Mr. Telford's calculation, - two hours and a
half in the time required for the travelling of the mail from
London to Liverpool.
The formation of this new line of road will very much depend
upon the exertions which may be made for raising the sum requi-
-sire for the purpose, according to the estimate furnished by Air.
Telford.—l am, dear Sir, your very faithful humble servant,
W. HUSK ISSON.
