CIILLOR.

Gower House, in the Stable-yard, intended
as the residence of the late Duke of Yoax, is now com-
pleted, and is fast filling with splendid furniture, magnifi-
cent pictures, and costly china ornaments. When the de-
corations are finished it will probably be the most magni-
ficent mansion in the metropolis, Grosvenor House, Aps-
Icy House, and the house of Earl DUDLEY, in Park-lane,
not excepted.

We understand that a material reduction is to
take place in the charges for drinking, bathing, &c. at the
Corporation Baths and Pump-rooms, from the first of
August next. Some new regulations are also to be
adopted for the purpose of obviating the opprobrium which
has attached to the practice of ladies and gentlemen bath-
in the public batbs.—Batli Herald.

CONSTANTINOPLE.—The public seem in a
fair way of being supplied with ample information as to
the present state of the SULTAN'S Capital. Mr. MADDEN'S
very interesting volumes are now succeeded by the account
of Captain FRANKLAND, in 2 vols. Bvo, embellished with
thirty-eight engravings.

SONIERSETSHIRE STAKES.—Our readers
are aware that on the day after this race the owner of
Liston claimed the stake, on the plea that Mr. Frrz-
GERALD, in whose name Rasselas was entered, was dead
at the time the race was run. The Steward of the races
referred the point to the Stewards of the Jockey Club,
who have declined to go into the case until both parties
shall agree to give in a statement, in writing, and also
agree to abide by their decision.—The bets of course go
in favor of Rasselas, the winning horse.—Bath Herald.

It appears from a circular which has been re-
cently published at Marseilles, that the Chamber of Com-
merce of that place are invested with the privilege of caus-
ing an extra duty of two per cent. to be levied on goods
imported there on foreign bottoms, though shipped by
French merchants and on French account, when the goods
are the produce of a state which does not entertain diplo-
matic relations with France. After the departure of the
French Ambassador from Constantinople, in consequence
of the events which followed the battle of Navarin, French
trading vessels ceased to visit the ports of the Levant, and
the consequence was that the merchants who had not
found it necessary to remove from the country, continued
their trade with Marseilles through the medium of neutral
vessels. The Chamber of Commerce thought that the case
called for the application of their privilege, and the duty
was accordingly levied without meeting with any opposi-
tion on the part of those most affected by it. From the
announcement contained in the Chamber's circular, it now
appears that the duty is to be discontinued two months
after the arrival of the French Ambassador at Constanti-
nople,—a space of time deemed sufficient to enable the
French merchants concerned in the Levant trade to resume
their operations under the auspices of the national flag.--
The French Tariff of the Customs makes no mention of
any power possessed by Chambers of Commerce of levying
extra duties ; nor does there appear to exist any legislative
enactment authorising its application. Its legality might,
therefore, have been called in question ; but no case having
occurred of sufficient importance to suggest resistance, the
privilege has lain dormant, and might have remained so,
had not the circular of the Marseilles Chamber, given by
all the papers of that city, and copied into those of Paris,
awakened attention, and induced an inquiry into the pro-
priety of suffering a privilege so detrimental to the general
interests of French commerce to be wielded at the discre-
tion of any branch soever of the Executive. The matter
will probably undergo discussion in the Legislative Cham-
bere next Seeaion,
