CORPORATION OF DUBLIN

The following letters, in answer to Addresses
voted by the Corporation of Dublin to the illus-
trious ex-Ministers, whose names are under-
signed, were read at
.the General Quarterly As-
sembly of the Common Council of the Irish
Metropolis, on the 20th inst. :
London, July 16, 1827.

MY LORD Mavon.—l have had the honour, and with
the highest satisfaction, to receive the unanimous Address
of the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Commons, and Citizens of the
City of Dublin, in Common Council assembled, expressive
of the opinion of that respectable and loyal body that, as a
servant to the gracious Sovereigns who were pleased to
honour me with their confidence, I have been faithful—
that as an administrator of justice I have not been wanting
in intense application, or in'inflexible integrity—and that
my advocacy of the Constitution, in Church and State, has
been undeviating and uncompromising.

The principles by which I have been governed in my
public conduct were originally adopted after I had very
anxiously endeavoured to ascertain upon what principles
that Constitution, in Church and State, required me to act.
The occasions, in a long course of years, have not been few,
in whioh it became my duty to review and reconsider those
principles.
I may now confidently assure those, who, in their Ati-
dress, have done me the honour to suppose that this country
can hereafter receive any benefit from my conduct, that I
shall be found, during what remains to me of life, to act
under a firm conviction that it is my bounden duty to my
Sovereign and the country to adhere to the principles
which have hitherto appeared uniformly to influence my
political conduct.
I beg to add my acknowledgments for the obliging man-
ner in which you have been pleased to communicate the
Address to me, and to assure you I am, with the highest
respect, your obedient and obliged servant,

(Signed)
Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Dublin

16, Upper Grosvenor-street, July 160827.

. -
MY Lean have bad the honour of receiving your
Lordship's letter, announcing to me the high compliment
paid by the Corporation of the City of Dublin, in voting
me as Address, conveying their approbation of my conduct
in retiring from office in the late political crisis.
I assure your Lordship that I appreciate such a compli-
ment from my fellow-citizens in Dublin as the greatest re
ward that I could receive for any sacrifice in political life,
and I beg that you will communicate, on a fitting occa-
iion, the deep sense which I entertain of the flattering
mark of their approbation, which you have communicated
to me.

Individually I beg to tender to your Lordship my thanks
for the handsome expressions contained in your letter, and
I have the honour to be, &e.

(Signed)
Right Hon. the Lurd Mayor.

CEO. R. DAWSON.

Drayton Manor, July 5, 162'7.
My LORD-I have had the honour of receiving the ;.d-
-dress which has been unanimously voted to me on the oc-
casion of my retirement from office, by. the Lord Mayor,
Sheriffs, Commons, and Citizens of the City of Dublin, in
Common Council assembled.

For this flittering distinction I beg to be permitted to re-
turn, through your Lordship, my grateful acknowledg-

Inents.

This is not the first mark of approbation and confidence
which has been tendered to me by the Corporation of
Dublin ; and nothing can be more gratifying to me than
to learn that, after a long separation from Ireland, I still
retain a portion of that esteem and cordial good-will which
cheered and consoled me amidst thelahours and anxieties of
office during the period that I was resident in Dublin, and
intimately connected with the administration of Irish
affairs.

I trust that my conduct in Parliament, though no longer
a servant of the Crown, will not disentitle me to the con-
fidence of the Cozporation, or cause them to regard me as
unworthy of the distinction which they conferred on me
many years since, by admitting me to the freedom of the
City of Dublin. I have the honour, &e.

(Signed)
The Right Hon. tke Lord Mayor.

ROBERT PEEL.

Mansion-house, Dublin, July 7, 1827.

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS—AS the gra-
cious intention of your Royal Highness to visit this country
strengthens in all probability from many concurrent ru-
mours, I trust your Royal Highness will suffer me to
assure you., with what a grateful ezprowion of joy enspi-
4,:ious an event will he bailed by the whole Irish nation.

I regard it as a proud circumstance of my life, that my
office of Chief Magistrate affords me this occasion to ad-
dress your Royal Highness, to solicit on behalf of the Cor-
poration and Citisens of Dublin the high honour of your
visit to this city. . .

In the affection for their Sovereign, which distinguishes
the subjects of these realms, the people of Ireland, and par-
tieularly the citizens of Dublin, proudly share ; our attach-
ment is unshaken to a Family whom Providence has made
the guardians of our Constitution, and your Royal High-
ness has an earnest in our loyalty, that no member of your
Illustrious House can reach our shores without inspiring
sentiments with which are interwoven our happiest recol-
lections. _ .

The visit of your Royal Highness cannot fail to be on
many accounts most gratifying to our country, as indepen-
dently of your Royal Highness's personal claims on our
affection and respect, it has pleased the great Disposer of
events to place your Royal Highness in that relation to the
Throne which demands our homage. Your Royal High-
ness will come among us also as the Supreme Commander
and Friend of a Service, whoie triumphs have swelled the
greatness and raised the glory of the British Empire, and
to whose achievements there are few families in Ireland
who have not given at one period or another a victor and
a hero. I have the honour, &c.

Lord Mayor, City of Dublin.

• Royal Sovereign Yacht, Devonport, July 11,1827.
MY Loan--I am soromanded by his Royal Highness
the Lord High Admiral, to acknowledge the receipt of your
Lordship's letter to him of the 6th July, in which you so-
licit, on behalf of the Corporation and Citizens of Dublin,
a visit from hisißoyal Highness to that ancient and im-
portant city' of the empire.
His Royal Highness further commands me to return his
sincere thanks for the expressions which your letter con-
veys of loyalty and attachment to his Majesty, and of affec-
tion towards himself personally—feelings which, common
as his Royal Highness is satisfied they are, to the people
of Ireland, are, he is equally satisfied, fully shared by the
citizens of Dublin. 1 ,

His Royal Highness regrets, however, that the pressure
of business, connected with the department over which be
has recently been appointed to preside, will not admit of his
visiting Dublin in the present year; but he is willing to
indulge the hope of being able to do so in the course of the
next, I have the honour, &c.
(Signed) JOHN BARROW.
To the Lord Mayor of Dublin.

TUE ItAavTsTr—There never was a finer
season for the crops,' than that with which we have been
blessed by a kind and bountiful Providence since the latter
end of June. Already has the greater part of the hey in the
county of Dublin been saved, and in the best order. The
produce as to quantity is unparalleled. Early fields of
wheat are putting on the yellow autumnal hue, indicative
of their being soon ready for the sickle. The progress they
have made towards maturity within the last fortnight is
surprising. In some fields, a few miles from town, the
grain is quite full and plump, and beginning to harden.—
A fortnight ago these fields were only in blossom, and the
grain just beginning to form in the ear. The liarvest will
be a good deal earlier than we expected it would be in the
latter end of last month.—Dublin Warder.

TILE WEATHER.—Since the late thunder
storm, there has been a great deal of solar heat, and the
weather has been delightful in this quarter, This is a
highly interesting time of the year. Hay cocks are still to
be seen on some fields ; the potatoes, and the beans and
peas, are in bloom; and in the barley, oats, and wheat,
the :4gour and freshness of the sucyper green is fast yield-
ing to the salary hues of autumn. Since Tuesday after-
noon, several fine showers have fallen, which will be highly
beneficial, particularly to the turnips and potatoes. A num-
ber of shearers from various quarters in the Highlands have
already passed through this town, on their way to the
south, in search of employment.—Scotsman.

We have had a few genial and refreshing
showers this 3sleek, which have done much good, as the
land was becoming parched in many districts. To the gar-
dens, in particular, the rain was a welcome visitant. The
hay harvest is nearly completed in this district ; and has
been one of the best, both in quantity and quality, remem-
bered for many years. The wheats, we understand, do not
look se well as could be wished ; the crop will probably be
good, but Considerable quantities of it have the appearance
of being smutted. All the other sorts of grain look well.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Journal des Debats.)

" LISBON, JULY 4.—The letters from the northern
frontier are very satisfactory. They state that the
Spanish authorities of Galicia have issued strict
orders to arrest and disarm the Portuguese rebels.
The officer who is appointed to execute this duty is
Colonel Ignacio Perreira, of the Orense Militia, the
same who declared strongly in favour of these rebels
and always supported them. It appears that the
Cabinet of Madrid is disposed to adopt more reason-
able measures with respect to Portugal.
" Major-General Luis de Rego Bareto who was
dismissed in July, 1824, for adhering to the Consti-
tution of the Cortes, has not only been restored to
his former rank,but promoted to that of Lieutenants
General, in reparation of the injustice he hid expe-
rienced. Considerable changes and promotions
have taken place in the army.
" MADRID, JULY 4.—An express from General
Monet to the Minister at War announces that 200
men of his division have passed with their arms and
baggage into Portugal. These deserters were com-
manded by a Lieutenant-Colonel of Infantry, and a
Captain of Cavalry. This desertion may give birth
to new disputes with Portugal, for two detachments
of the troops which General Monet sent in pursuit
of the deserters, crossed into Portugal, and com-
mitted serious excesses in two villages.
" PARIS, JULY 20.—Since the three Powers,
England, France and Russia, have disclosed, by
the publication of the treaty signed at London, their
resolution to interfere efficaciously, and as armed
mediators, in the affairs of Greece, the friends of the
Greeks anxiously inquire what is the present situa-
tion of that people ? They fear least after so many
losses, 'so much blood shed, the Greeks 'should be
crushed in the course of this campaign, before this
powerful but tardy interference arrests the fury of
their implacable enemies. According to the last and
most authentic reports, it appears that if on the one
hand, the fortune of arms in this sixth campaign has
not been favourable to the good cause, on the other,
the experience of misfortune served to unite men's
Minds. The contention of factions is worn out, and
a more wise government is formed at the moment
when the danger is most imminent. To Lord Coch-
rane belongs all the honour of this useful change.
* # #. Under these serious circumstances, the
friends of Greece will read with satisfaction the fol-
lowing extract from the correspondence of M. Gozze,
one of the members of the Committee lately esta-
blished for the distribution of succours, and who
fulfils his mission with the most laudable zeal.
" The sums brought by his Excellency Lord
Cochrane have singularly contributed to relieve us
from embarrassment at a critical period. They have
enabled us to pay- the seamen and to make repairs
which were indispensable in the ship commanded by
the Grand Admiral, to purchase wine, meat, and
other provisions, of which we were in want ; to ob-
tain sail-cloth and timber for building. We have
constructed four furnaces, and purchased two prizes to
be converted into fire-ships. We have also built
gun-boats, and erected a battery for the defence of
Napoli. We have enrolled troops for our expeditions,
appropriated considerable funds to the army, paid the
freight of several transports, &c. But the sums sent,
however considerable, were soon exhausted. I have
had recourse to the credit you opened for me with
_ _

he house of Alessio and Nepote Stefond, at Zante.'
From the Gazette de France, dated Saturday, July 21.)
PARIS, JULY 20.—The Governor of Guadeloupe
. _

has just informed the Minister of Marine by a letter
of the 12th of May, that the drought which has pre-
vailed since the last winter season, has done great
damage to the agricultural produce of the Colony,
and that the consequence will be a very great scarcity
of the most necessary articles. • The manioc flour,
which is indispensable for the support of the negroes,
and even of part of the white population of the
Island, is not sufficient for the supply till beyond the
month of October. None of the plantations made
last yeat have succeeded, from want of rain.

To prevent the disastrous consequences that
might attend the scarcity, both for the tranquillity
and the health of the Colony the Governor requests

the Minister of the Marine to secure the existence
of the greater part of the population, by en official
invitation to the Chambers of Commerce, to make
frequent and considerable consignments of maise
flour to Guadaloupe, which may make up for the want
of manioc. _ _

In case this proceeding on the part of his Excel-
lency should not have the effect which may be hoped,
the. Governor will make use of the power which is
granted him by Article Four of the Ordinance of
February 5, 1826, for the importation of foreign
flour.
A letter from Trieste says, that a ship. which has
arrived from Smyrna, met, on the 19th of June, off
Cape St. Angelo, the Greek fleet, consisting of 37
sail. The Hellas frigate and six fire ships were prt
of it. The Turkish fleet was at Patras.
M. Rothschild, of Vienna, is daily expected at
Frankfort to lay the first stone of an Hospital which
he is building there, and which is destined for the
Israelites. It will, cost 250,000 florins, and be com-
pleted in two years. ,
(From the Moniteur of Friday, July 20.)
MADRID, JULY 9.—A guerilla party composed of
Portuguese Refugees and some Spaniards, among
whom are two dismissed Lieutenant-Colonels;
entered on the 27th ult. ibto the Portuguese terri-
tory by Alcanires, surprised the village of Costaptin;
killed the sentinel, plundered some houses, and then.
returned into Castile. The next day, the Com-
mander of the Spanish line caused seven of them to
be arrested; among whom were the two Lieutenant-
Colonels, who are going to be tried.
A new band of Insurgents has appeared in Cata-
lonia about Berge.
It is affirmed now that the conspiracy at Algesiras
is wholly imaginary ; that, irttruth, the Commander
of the camp at St. Roche 10, rather
arrested some officers of different opinions, but that
no charge could be made out against him. It seems
that the Count de Torre Alla is not one of the
persons arrested. precipitately
A great deal has been said on this occasion of an
order given to the Intendants of Police not to arrest
persons accused of the Carlist conspiracy. The
feet, however, is, that the order merely says, that
these intendants are not to arrest persons, as has
been done at Cordova, against whom there is no
charge, merely because seditious circulars or pam-
phlets have been sent them by the post.

(EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.)
LISBON, JULY 3.—The Count de Villa Real sets
out this day, at last, for London, on board the Duke
of York steam packet, Capt. J. Mowel. We are
assured that this new Ambassador was unwilling to
pobroecyeethdetoorhdiesrdoefstinotsetilioenr,albusadanh
but
Saldanha, compelled to
a, Minister ad
interim of Foreign Affairs, no longer to delay his
departure. • We are curious here to know how the
Count will be received in London, and especially if
it be true that Mr. Canning has, as it is asserted, an
autogTaph protest in his possession, against the
rights of Don Pedro IV., and in favour of the infant
Don Miguel, a protest made by the latter personage
after that of Don Joaquim Severino Gomee, ex.
Chargé d'Affaires of Portugal at Madrid, when he
refused to recognise the orders of his Government.
The Government here has received official ac-
counts that the infant Don Miguel has brought for-
ward fresh excuses for dispensing with the execu-
tion of the orders of his brother and his King, and
these excuses, which are supported by Austria, con-
tribute to keep up a strong fomentation in men's
minds here. This disquieting intelligence has in-
duced the Minister Saldanha to despatch, this morn-
ing, the Portuguese man-of-war brig the Trexe de
Maio for Brazil, in order to inform Don Pedro IV.
of the state of affairs, and to insist with new force
on the propriety of his Majesty coming to Portugal,
previous to next 25th October, an epoch which the
enemies of genuine legitimacy flatter themselves
they will be able to turn into a day of mourning for
their country. His Excellency has also dispatched,
this morning, an aviso to Brest. It carries orders to

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 1827.

The Paris Papers of Friday, and the Gazette
de France, dated Saturday morning, reached us
last night. The only interesting matter we find
in them, is a statement in the Moniteur, under
date of Madrid, 9th, July, that a Guerilla party,
composed of Portuguese Refugees and some
Spaniards, had entered the Portuguese territory
and committed some excesses, after which they
returned into Castile ; and a private letter from
Lisbon in the Constitutionnel, dated the 3d inst.,
which states that Count de VILLA REAL was
to set out that day• for London ; and, that the
Portuguese Government had received official
accounts that the Infant DON MIGUEL had
brought forward fresh excuses for declining to
return to the Brazils.

The Journal des Dehats contains a different
version of the violation of the Portuguese territory,
which it states, was committed by a party de-
tached in purstiit of 200 men, who had deserted
into Portugal. Which ever account is true, the
circumstance will probably impede any arrange-
ment which might be in progress between the
two Governments.

Extracts of these Papers will be found in
another column, and we subjoin the prices of the
Funds, which are rather lower.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 15th instant
was receivei. last night. The following paragraph,
stating the singular situation of the Spanish
Legation in Switzerland, is the only paragraph
worth extracting :

SWITZERLAND, JULY 9.—The Spanish Legation in
Switzerland is in a singular situation. The personal con-
duct of the Charge d'Affaires, Don Felix Ramon d'Alva-
rado, which had already caused his exclusion front the
diplomatic circles at Berne, is said to have led to a request
from our Government to the Court of Madrid, that he
might be recalled. That Court complied, and sent orders,
as it seems, for the Minister immediately to return home,
announcing that his successor would shortly follow. Ac-
cordingly, a new Spanish Charge d'Affaires arrived a few
weeks ago, and required the Archiver of the Legation to
be delivered up to him ; but M. Alvarado refuses, declaring
that he has received no orders from his Court.

Gibraltar Chronicles of the 2d inst. have
been received. His Excellency Sir JOHN DON,
Lieutenant-Governor, had held a meeting of
the inhabitants of the town on the 22d ult. to
concert measures for the preservation of the
health of the inhabitants and prrison during the
approaching hot months, and issued a proclama

tion on the 29th, making public the regulations
which it had been thought fit to make on this
occasion, particularly dividing the town into dis-
tricts, with medical officers and police in each,
to watch any tendency to disease.

It certainly is not a little amusing to observe

the John Isnll, and his elegant and classical co-
adjutor, the ,Standard, sagely disputing which
of them is best entitled to the credit of
certain facts in which both of them have of late
been dealing. The truth however is, that
many of the facts alluded to, were of such prime
originality, that whoever first retailed has be-
yond all doubt, a full right of property in the
article issued ; and may well be justified in re-
fusing to share the praise of invention with a
rival trader of the same craft.

Without presuming to interfere in the conflict
between these high and mighty Allies, let us be
allowed without invidiousness, to observe, that in

the tastiness with which some of these commo-
dities have been got up for sale and circulation,
our friend John Bull is perfectly unrivalled.
Only yesterday, our dew-lapped friend, with
infinite pomp and preparation, and with profes-
sions of vast delight, announced, in capital
letters, the fact (as he, was pleased to denomi-
nate it) that « The Duke
,of WELLINGTON
had been sent for by his MAJESTY ;" which
fact (he was further pleased to state) had been
carefully omitted in all the Government
Papers."

Now we need not inform the public,
that this Act was distinctly noticed, and
positively denied, both by the SUN and the
Courier. And' if any reader should wonder,
that, after the direct exposure of the fiction, a
Journalist should have been found hardy enough,
not only' to re-state it, butt to add that all
mention of it had been omitted by the Govern-
ment papers—we can only remind such a reader
of the old observation that, "one untruth is
never wanting to prop up another."

With the same ardour for the interests of
truth, John Bull recently assured the world, that
Lord PALMERSTON was sure, to resign,—that
Mr. GEORGE TIERNEY, jun., was already ap-
pointed a Commissioner of the Customs,—that
Mr. JAMES BROUGHAM had, since Mr. TIER-
NEY's appointment, been promoted to the
same honour,—together with various other
announcements, equally well founded.—
And these things were not reported cursorily, or
noticed as the chit-chat of the day. They were
stated with confidence ; they were commented on
with unsparing bitterness.

For the last few days the papers of the Ultras
have been busying themselves and deceiving their
readers by reports that Mr. HOBHOUSE, of the
Home Office, aad• Mr. HER TtiEs of the
Treasury, were about to retire—the first from a
disinclination to serve under the present Ad-
ministration, and the other from some motive
equally absurd, for there is no end to the fanciful
propensities of these ingenious Journals. &it
we can positively state that there is not the
slightest foundatio* for the motives insinuated
by these organs, except indeed it exist in their
own kindred minds, where malignity prompts
one half the rumours and disappointments
the other. The get is, that Mr. HOBHOUSE
having completed the period of service which
entitles him to a pension, he retires upon that
allowance, and not from any disinclination to
continue in office under the present Govern-
ment. It is not true that Mr. HERMES
retires. That Right Honourable Gentleman
goes to the Continent for a short time to re-
cruit his health which, we regret, has suffered
so much from his incessant application to
the labouring duties of hiS office. On his re-
turn, the Right Hon. Gentleman will resume
his functions with satisfaction to himself and
benefit to his country.

Jamaica Papers to the 28th May inclusive
have been received at the North and South Arne.
rican Coffee-house ; the following are extracts :

DOUBLE DUTIES AGAIN.--Tile Collector of his Majes-
ty's Customs has received a despatch from his Grace the
Governor, apprising him, that in consequence of informa-
tion. which his Grace had derived from the Commander of
the Forces, that the subsistence of the troops was not to he
paid by the Local Government beyond the slat inst., that
the Collector and Comptroller were to be governed by the
British Act of Parliament, and recommence the collection
of the double duties from the Ist of June next, unless in
the mean time the Commissioners of Accounts would re-
assemble and direct the Contractor to supply the troops
as heretofore. We are glad to learn from St. Ann's that
within these few days many parts of that parish which
bad suffered so long from drought and the want of
water have been at length refreshed by some heavy
rains ; the May season has also commenced in this
parish, and after the long-continued drought which we have
experienced, are most grateful. From want of care the
combustible nature of the dry vegetation, in some proper-
ties, have sustained partial injury from fire ; some refresh-
ing showers, however, passed over, and from the cloudy
sky, and the present temperature of the air, a material
change is indicated.
The Saturday's market appears to be increasing weekly,
and, it is said, is well encouraged by the public. This
desirable alteration, if brought about voluntarily, will give
great satisfaction to every well-wisher to the country.—
There is no doubt that after-crop many more will resort to
the Saturday's market, and it will be encouraged consider-
' ably by purchasers not delaying till the Sunday.

The chief empk.yment of the Brokers and speculators in
the British Funds have been in arranging accounts for the
settling, which takes place on Thursday, and the com-
plexion of the account is said to wear rather a Bearish ap-
pearance. It is with regret we state one defaulter has
been declared already, but the amount is said to be not
large, independent of which the unfortunate party will pay
75 per cent. Consols opened this morning at 874 for ac-
count, and 86 for money, ex. div. ; they have since been
done at 864 for the latter, and buyers for the former, and
are now 87i, the nearest price, for account ; Exchequer
Bills are 56 7, and India Bonds, 88 90 pm. The Foreign
Funds have continued nearly in a calm all the morning, and
little or no business has hitherto been done ; Colombian

GRAND CANAL FROM LONDON TO

PORTSMOUTH.

Considerable interest is, at this moment, taken by a Com-
mittee of Gentlemen, provisionally appointed, with the
Monied Interest of London, and some of the great Chartered
Companies, to bring into effect a Canal from Portsmouth
to London, of the most gigantic proportions. It is sug-
gested to make it a national undertaking, and to pay the
expence of its construction by an issue of 4 per cent. Ex-
chequer Bills, and 5 per cent. Canal Debentures, the
latter to he paid off in fifteen years. The present Commit-
tee comprises Lord Palmerston,, Sir G. Cockburn, Sir J.
Brenton, T. Wilson, Esq. M.P., W. Manning, Esq. M.P.,
and H. Twiss, Esq. M.P. The necessity of the measure, it is
stated, is absolute, as, in the event of a war with France, the
Port of London would be effectually blocked up from all cora-
niunication with the British Channel, the whole space be-
tween the Isle of Wight and the Forelands being so ex-
posed to the French ports, that no vigilance on the part of
our Navy could save our merchant shipping and coasters
from the activity of small " armed steam-vessels." This
apprehension is certainly correctly stated, for against such
a system of annoyance, a gun-brig, or sloop of war, could
hardly, in a long dark night, give protection to more than
four vessels, and even these would be hazarded. Another
inducing reason for the projected canal avouched, is, we
think, a little overstated. It is stated that many thousand
lives would be saved that are now annually shipwrecked,
and it is affirmed that Lloyd's books will prove, from the
experience of the last ten years, that the annual loss of
shipping between Portsmouth and the Thames is 110
vessels. It is stated, also, that three millions of property
was captured in the same passage, by the French, in
the last war. The present plan is a suggestion of Mr. N.
W. Cundy, supported by the opinions of Messrs. Ren-
nie, Giles, ElMs, and Mears. The Canal will be only 74
miles from Portsmouth Harbour to the Thames, at Rother
hithe ; it will always have 2S feet in depth of water, and
be 150 feet wide ; will require only four locks, as the sum-
mit level, on Epsom Common, will not exceed 140 feet,
and the deepest cutting will he 130 feet. The locks are
to be 300 feet long each, and 64 feet broad. Mr. Cundy

Baring, Esq. who has promised the measure his personal
attention and support ; and who, at arrneeting at Lincoln's
Inn-fields, declared, that " the importance of the subject
is obvious, whether considered in a national or domestic
point of view, or whatever may be the cost."
It is proposed that the Canal commence, with two
branches, at Rotherhitheorearly opposite the Loudon and
West India Docks, near the Victualling Office, and proceed
thence, in a South West direction, to Walworth Common,
by the foot of Brixton Hill, to Streatham Common ; then
between the towns of Mitcham and Tooting, to Malden,
Ewel, Epsom, Leatherhead, and Dorking, over Homewood
Common, down the Vale to Ockley, and the Roman Turn-
pike Gate a little below Slinfold, Newbridge, Pulborough,
by Hardhain, Greatham, Amberley, Burkham, Arundel
(and a small branch to. Arundel Bay), and lastly to Chi-
chester, Emsworth, Langston Harbour, Southsea Com-
mon, and Spithead. The general estimate states the
expence -under four millions, of which 3,255,4201.
would be paid to labourers for cutting, 474,000/. to
tradesmen, and 250,000/. for purchase of land. We, pass over
all the calculations of a return of income, remarking only
that a vessel of 100 tons would have to pay 35/. for passing
through the Canal. It is stated that the expense of Go-
vernment, in the land carriage of stores, &c. to Ports-
mouth, last war, exceeded 200,000/. a-year. It, is pro-
posed to shut up Langston Harbour (what will become of
the oysters ?) and open a new entrance to Spithead. The
journey through to be 14 hours, to be effected by steam
vessels, the use of which will, of necessity, require thatihe
Canal should be faced vi
ith brick or stone the whole way.
Mr. Cundy says he has. received the greatest encouragement
from all classes to proceed, and pledges himself to bring it
forward early in the next Session of Parliarnent.—Hotnp-

ANCONA, JULY 4.—The steam-boat from the lonian
Islands arrived yesterday from Corfu, with despatches for
London.—An extract from a private letter states, that
General Church occupies a portion of Dervanea ; and that
Colocotroni, and the other Greek Commanders, are at
various positions near the Isthmus of Corinth, to prevent
the approach of Ibrahim Pacha. It is said that Lord
Cochrane has dispersed the Egyptian Fleet in the waters
of Candia ; the Greeks had 70 sail, and the Egyptians
120 sail.

Letters from Carthagena of the 20th May, state that
business was dull, more however from the want of goods
of a well assorted kind, than any other cause; great pre-
parations were making to receive Gen. Bolivar, who was
daily expected. The old paper was refused at the Custom
House for payment of duties • nor would they take snore

EXTRAORDINARY LUXURIANCE OF THE
SEASON.—A fine stem of oats, of very uncommon ap-
pearance, was left at our office yesterday. It measures
from the root to the tip of the head six feet five inches, the
stalk every way in proportion ; the leaf not unlike a flagger,
and the head numbers upwards of three hundred grains
though having suffered some loss from carriage and curio-
sity. The field from which this stem was taken is in Dun-
more, near this city, the property of Mr. Lalor, and in
every respect exhibits the same appearance.s—KiMenny
Independent.
TINE WEATHER AND CROPS.—In the im-
mediate vicinity of this town, the crops are suffering from
drought, while we learn that in Ross-shire, and among the
farms situate near the high back grounds, there is a super,
abundance of moisture. The crops in the West High-
lands, notwithstanding the heavy rains which have fallen
there for some time past, are looking remarkably wells
and are in a state of great forwardness. From their pro-
mising appearance at' present, there is every prospect of as
early and abundant a harvest in Argyleshireawi th, Waal
as in the low country.....ltiverness CM*.
