ST. PETERSBUiWU, SEPT. 18.
The Joiirnal de St. Peteisbzirgh Contains only lists of
promotions and favors on occasion of the Emperor's coro-
nation. A Reieript, *addrisied to Duke Alexander of
Wurtemburg, expresses his dissatisfaction with the mea-
sures which the Duke has adopted to improve the internal
navigation of the Empire. A Rescript to Count Nessel-
rode is to the following effect :
" The talents which distinguish you, and the manner in
- which you employ them in the service of our country, had
drawn on you the particular attention of the late Emperor
Alexander our beloved brother. You have had the honour
to execute his wise resolutions at the most glorious periods
of his reign. You continue to justify his choice and
his confidence, and have already given us proofs of
your inviolable attachment to ourself. By this, and by
your able management of the important department com-
mitted to your care, you have acquired a claim on our
favour. To give you a proof of it we have chosen the day
of our Coronation, and by an ukase to our Minister of
Finance, dated this day (meaning that this example is not
to be taken as a precedent), we have assigned a portion of
land in the government of Tamboff, which unites peculia-
advantages, and which We give you in full property for
ever. May this new recompense, descending from general'
tion to generation, perpetuate among your descendants the
honorable recollection of your services, recognised by one
of the greatest Sovereigns, as well as of our esteem for
you. We are, &e.

" Moscow, Aug. 22 (Sept. 3), 1828." •
Among the new titles are that of Princess to the Coun-
tess Charlotte of Leven; of Count, to General Tatis-
eheff, Lieut.-General Czernitscheff, Lieut.-General Kou-
roula, Baron Gregory StrOgonoff, and Lieut.-General
Pon° di Borgo, his Majesty's Ambassador at Paris; these
-titles are hereditary.
The Journal contains the names of the persons con-
demned to bard labour, the duration of whose sentence has
been shortened (as already stated in German and other
Journals.) . It is added,—" After the expiration of the
" term fixed in the present ukase, for the duration of the
" time which the above mentioned individuals will have to
" pass in hard labour, they shall all be banished to Siberia."
Then follows the list of those, who, having been exiled to

Siberia for an indefinite period, are to remain in banish-
ment only twenty years.

Papers have i*en received from Port-au-Prince to the 30tb
July, inclusive. They contain particulars of a law passed for esta-
blishing an Entrepot fur the receipt of the productions of foreign
nations; that for this purpose warehouses will be built at Port-au-
Prince, 'Aux Cayes, ('ape Haitian, St. Domingo, and Jacmel,
under certain regulations to be observed by the Captain and Super-
cargoes, who will be obliged, on their arrival, to give full particu-
lars of his cargo, marks, numbers, &c., before he is allowed to
break bulk, :which must be verified by them, and signed with their
names, when permission will be given to unload, and an account
taken by the Custom House, to see if it agrees with their declara-
tion, &c. A further law is also given in these papers, regulating
the Notaries, and fixing the fees they are to receive for their services
And attendance.

We have frequently adverted to the great extent of
the Trade in .Slaves carried on upon the Coast of
Africa, under the sanction of the French Flag ; and
we were lately inclined to question the sincerity of
the intentions of the government of France, in the
orders which-they, had issued on this subject, from the
open and undisguised manner in which ships have
been fitted out at Nantes and other ports, for the
avowed purposes of this traffic.
The Sierra Leone papers, received yesterday, contain
further And ample evidenie of the unrestricted pro-
ceedings of the French ships engaged in Slave dealing
on the Coast ; and of the horrors occasioned by it.—
The Prench squadron, nominally employed for the pre-
vention of the trade, is entirely inadequate to that ob-
ject, and an unbounded licence to carry it on in cer.,
likie latitudes seems to be enjoyed under the sanction
Of the White Flag. The Portuguese and Spaniards,
too, noixiith stand Mg they received our money as the price
of theii;telin'quishing this inhuman traffic, still cling to
and2Lrry it on in the most barefaced manner to the
Southward of the Line, and even to the Northward of
it, m far as the activity of our squadron does not pre-
iron it.

We shall never believe that the French Government
are sincere in their wish to suppress the trade alto-
gether, until they will sanction the seizure by us of
every
vessel, bearing the flag of France,
engaged in this
trade,
when and wherever she may be met with.
We give in another column some extracts from
these papers, which go A long way in establishing the
fact, that notwithstanding the expenditure of life and
treasure which England has made to put a termination
to the Slave Trade, it has in the aggregate increased in
extent, and that it is carried on with more inhumanity
and atrocity than at ally f
(miner period.
We shall give some extracts, when space will allow,
from an able 411(1 inter •
estlng article on this subject)
contained in the Number
of
the Quarterly Review
just published.

We mentioned in our Taper of yesterday, that in
consequence of the paragraph which appeared inthe
Times relative to the circumstance of a lirolier having
gone to the persoti who prints Wetenhall's Course of
Exchange, and obtained the insertion of a fictitious price
thc. frPfil I.etltes on Tuesday last, a Special Meet-
ing of the Committee of the Foreign Stock Exchange
was to be held yesterday afternoon for the purpose of in.
yestigating the matter. We understand that Mr.
WaTtN t.'s Clerk being called in, and questioned
AS to the circumstance, stated, that when he was at the
printer's, Mr. J. H. ISRAEL came, anti desired that
the ll:tench !lento might be quoted 97. He (the
tlerk; hesitated, as it was against his orders to utter
any prices without the consent of Mr. WETENTriku..
,
wir.ISRAEL replied, that he hall Mr. W
ETENIIALL'S
authority to make the alteration, having spoken to him
on the subject. Mr. ISRAEL denied this part of the
Statement, but the Clerk replied, he could bring a

witness to prove the correctness of what he had
asserted.' 'Mr. Is then endeavoured to explain
away,the circumstance, by insinuating, that the young
,man had himself uttered the quotation wrongly ; but
the Clerk answered, that Mr.. ISRAEL borrowed his
pencil, and he (the Clerk) handed him a slip of paper
in which Mr. ISRAEL wrote the alteration, and which
was handed over immediately to the printer. After
some discussion, Mr. ISRAEL consented to address a
letter to the editor of the Times, explanatory of the
mistake; and the following letter appears in that
Journal, this morning, from Mr. ISRAEL :

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—Being the party alluded to in the communication
made in your paper this morning, under the signature
" Expositor," I beg to say a few words in explanation.
In the first place, I must premise that the part alluding
to an eminent capitalist is totally unfounded—as that gen-
tleman had no more to do with the transaction than
yourself.
It may be perfectly correct that during the hours of
biisiness there were some buyers of French Rentes at 98;
but the circumstances under which the bargain in question
was made at 97f (not 97), exchange at 2.5 f. 55c. will
justify the quotation.
A gentleman, not connected with the Stock Exchange;
offered me a large amount of Rentei some time after the
market was closed, and' required Bank-notes immediately
for tbem.. All the dealers had left the Exchange, and I
certainly would not run the risk at that-time without
buying them at something under what had, been, the price
of the day.
This was explained to the seller, whose principal was in
the City, and he acquiesced in the terms.
Although the price mentioned by you appears con,i-
derably under the price of the day; yet having :Wowed a
favourable rate of exchange, it was really equal to 971.
Instead of double commission being charged on this
transaction, as insinuated by your correspondent, the fact
is, that no commission whatever was taken, it being by me
considered as a bargain, totally independent or the Stock-
Exchange.
And although 1 hal4 since learnt it to be contrary to the
rules of the Stock-Exchange to mark prices after four
o'clock, it was done at the express wish of the seller, and
without the concurrence of Mr. Wetenhall.
October 6. 1. H. ISRAEL.

It appears to us that if the seller of the Stock was
satisfied with the price obtained, the public have
nothing to do with that part of the transaction ; but as
WETENHALL'S list is considered almost an official
record (if the expression may be used) of the price
of the public securities of this Country, the alteration
of a priae in it without permission, and the insertion
of the price of a bargain made after the hour at which
business closes, and to which only the list extends, is
a misdemeanour not only towards Mr. WETENHALL,
but towards the public generally, for which Mr. ISRAEL
ought to be called to an account in some other manner
than he' has yet been.

The conduct of watchmen in this metropolis is as
disgraceful to those who have appointed them, as in
its effects it is injurious to society. The guardians of
the night are selected for the most part from work-
houses, by the overseers of the parish, who in their
laudable endeavours to lessen the parish burdens,
contrive to shift off tl e tixpense upon' the public, by
leaving their property at the mercy of thieves and
burglars, for whom the, watchmen generally entertain so
kindly a feeling, that acting upon the principles of free
trade, they let every man follow his own busi-
ness. Indeed, we have beard it asserted, that
coaches which come into London at early hours
in the morning witness strange doings among the
watchmen themselves. And where is the wonder ?
These nun are paid but eighteen-pence a-night—a long
winter's night of 10 or 12 hours To suppose that
honest men can be procured for such remuneration
betrays the grossest ignorance of human nature. Men
to be honest must be paid for their trouble when placed
in a tempting situation, where an overture from the
enemy might prove more beneficial than fidelity
to a bad paymaster—and that too when se-
eresy is implied by the very nature of the trans-
action—for what would bang the one would
transport the other. Now, we think that one
great cause of the increase of thieves and depredators,
is owing to the inefficacy or connivance of our nightly
guardians. They are chiefly old men, more in need
of nurses than able to watch the safety of others.
They are one half the' night asleep on their posts, or
stumbling in their drowsy walks against the passengers
in the streets ; and then springing their rattles for au
assault, to which they a// swear, with as much
affected solemnity as unblushing effrontery, and the
Magistrates too often believe them 1 It is to this very
easy, nay culpable belief of the Magistrates that
so many lying charges is attributable. But we are
happy that the Loup MAYOR forms a praiseworthy
exception to this prevailing habit. Our Readers will
see, by referring to the Mansion House report, that
the opinion of his Lordship, respecting the character
of watchmen, will not raise them in the estimation of
the public.

. . .
The performances of this morning commenced, as usual,
at St. Philip's church, with a. Grand Miscellaneoui Selec-
tion of Sacred Music. The doors were opened at an early
hour, and were alinost immediately filled with an immense
throng of beauty and fashion ; for in such request_ were the
performances, that hundreds (as on the preceding days)
flocked from all parts of England to attend them. The
first act, consisting chiefly of choice selections from Handel
and Haydn, was' opened by the former's grand chorus,
" Immortal of Earth and Skies ;" after which, Miss
Stephens, in her very best style, executed the recitative
from "Susannah, " Alas ! I find the fatal toils are set."
Mr. Vaughan followed with an air from Judas Maccabeus,
" To heaven's Almighty King we kneel," and seemed, by
his masterly execution, to be fully awake to the magnifi-
cence of the music. Mr. Lindley's performance on the
violoncello merited equal praise, affording, however, little
scope for definite criticism. Miss Travis, in her duet with
Miss Stephens, of "Oh, never, never bow we down,"
almost equalled her great rival; indeed, it seemed
a moot point with the audience who deserved
the greatest praise. Mr. Phillips—our favourite—
gave the splendid recitative, "Be comforted," with
his usual dramatic felicity, and - accompanied it With
the appropriate air, " The Lord worketh wonders," like a
man who felt the full sublimity of his undertaking.
Braham's " Sound an alarm" is too well-known to require
further mention, but the very circumstance of its popu-
larity is a sufficient evidence of its merit; enough to say,
that it fully equalled all his former efforts, and had as usual
the same thrilling power over his audience. Miss' Paton
warbled " Oh let eternal honours crown his name," with
characteristic expression of feeling; indeed, so much was
her sensibility excited, that nature sunk beneath it, and
she was led out in an absolute state of exhaustion. After
the interruption occasioned by this circumstance had sub-
sided, a chorus (introduced by Mr. Gardiner in his oratorio
of Judah) was sung by the whole assemlied band. The se-
cond act—or part, as we believe it should be called—was
principally taken up with Winter's " Triumph of Gideon,"
and after an impressive preparatory overture, commended
with the recitative, " Hath hope forborne to dwell in mor-
tal breast ?" which was given with very creditable effect
by Vaughan. But the grandest portion of this Sacred
Drama was the chorus, "Blow the trumpet as the thun-
der rock and mountain shakes asunder,' which burst un-
expectedly on the audience like darkness. on mid-day. It
is impossible to give any adequate idea of the feeling that
this sublime composition excited. For an instant there
was a pausea breathless expectant pause, and then a
noble crash of wind-instruments, accompanied by the thun-
der of the drum, and the stirring music of the trumpet,
broke in full swell upon the ear; while the entranced audience
delivered themselves wholly up to the emotions in-
tended to be conveyed by the composer. After the
Drama—whose chief fault was its breBity, had been
concluded, Mr. Bellamy gave Calcott's Recitative, taken
from that well-known Hymn by Thomson, " These, as they
change, Almighty Father, these," in a style and manner
which left us nothing to regret or desire. A few more
airs, beautiful indeed, put of no yery nuirlso of definite
character, followed ; after which Praharn
his hearers by the grandeur of his Luther's Hymn. The
morning's performances were wound up approprlatel by
" God save the King," at compote !r; H"±! i!:!;
tip whole assembled orchestra took•part. We should not
omit mentioning a cfrennistance that took place towards
the commencement (we think it was) of the First Part.
Miss Stephens, while singing 'f Alas I find the fatal toils,"
was once or twice put out-by the bungling ignorance of
one or two of the orchestra, and was so annoyed by the
interruption, that her.feelings were visible to the whole
audience. This, however, was the only unpleasant ob-

It has been presented to the Committee by Mr. James

compiled in the first instance, as a matter of curiosity, but
its utility to the public and to the trade is considered by
the Committee to be such, that arrangements will most
