NUREMBURG, AUG. 16.
MI Majesty the King of Bavaria issued, on the 27th (1)1
Alay last, an edict to the following effect :

" As we have too frequently observed with regret that
the ancient monuments of architecture, sculpture, &c., dis-
persed in our kingdom are not duly attended to by the pub-
lic authorities, and that many remains of former ages, va-
luable as monuments of history or of the arts, arc destroyed
or neglected, and as we consider the preservation of such
monuments to be highly important for keeping alive a na-
tional spirit, for assisting the study-of the history of the
kingdom, and for promoting a knowledge of it among the
people, we hereby command our Minister of the Interior to
declare this our will to all the Governments of the Circles,
and to enjoin them—

DRESDEN, AUG. 12.

An Association has been formed in this capital, which
has published ft notice, from which the following are ex-
tracts :--
("Ile Saxons desired to erect a monument to their be,
loved
Monarch, when they celebrated the 50th anniversary
Ibis Government. The piety and modesty of the King
41.atle him decline this offer. His Majesty replied, that to
give him such a testimony of affection they should wait till
4:1 death. The decrees of Providence having now deprived
of that revered Monarch, all Saxons are certainly
-"d On the propriety of sot delaying the erection 9f this

tnonument, and in the resolution t with to contribute Ac-
cording to Me means.

" The King also earnestly desires the execution of this
project, and has generously promised to grant whatever
may facilitate it."

The Association agreed, at their first meeting, that it
would not be sufficient merely to erect a statue to lis Ma-
jesty ; but that it would be more suitable to the object of
the Association to enlarge or to found charitable institutions,
as the most appropriate tribute to the memory of I. Sove-
reign so distinguished by his Christian beneficence.
The Association proposes a general subscription is every
town, village, and parish in the kingdom. where books
shall be opened, in which every one may inscribe his vo-
luntary contribution. Every stun, large or mad, from
the mite of the widow to the gold of the opulent, will be
of equal estimation for such a monument.
The notice is signed by the Baron de Manteuffel.

The Gazette of last night contains the re-
appointment of the Duke of WELLINGTON as
Commander-in-Chief. There is not a man in
the country who will not rejoice to find that his
Grace is replaced in his proper post; and, dis-
approving, as we have done, of his Grace's
conduct as a Minister on a recent occasion, we
are, nevertheless, foremost to express our satis-
faction at his being again at the head of the
British Army, and to congratulate the country
on this event. The nation will duly appreciate
his INIAJETY'S judgment in recalling the Duke
of WELLINGTON to the station in which his ser-
vices can be most beneficial to his country.

The remainder of the Russian Squadron,
under Admiral SINIAVIN, sailed yesterday from
Spithead to the eastward, on their return to
Cronstadt.

THE FUNDS; (THIS DAY).
CITY, TWRLVR o'CLoor.

The British securities have evinced a greater
degree of firmness this morning than they have for
several days exhibited, and the market seems to be
in a better state. Console, after the hours of busi-
ness, were done at 86i, and had the appearance of
great depression ; this morning, however, they
opened at 86k, at which price the first bargain of
30,0001. was effected for money, after going to
86 ; they then gradually went up to 86k, and
may be quoted now at 86i for the 29th, and 87,
buyers, for October account ; the continuation to
next account is 5-16ths to -R per cent. ; there is no
alteration in the premium on India Bonds or Ex-
chequer Bills, the former being 88 90, the latter
57 8 pm. In the Foreign Funds there has been
but little business; Mexican Bonds are quoted at
66! i; Colombian, 30; Brazilian, 66i; the next
arrivals from this quarter continue to be looked for
with much anxiety, both as relate to the war with
Buenos Ayres and the reported intention of
Don Pedro to visit Portugal; and if lie should
carry this latter into execution, it is the opinion of
many well qualified to form a judgment, that it may
prove rather hazardous to the safety of his power in,
the Brazils, among whose population there are num-
bers of active partizans hostile to his government,
particularly in the northern provinces.
Russian are 96, Portuguese 75, and Danish have
receded to 62.

In Shares, the only novelty is a small improve-
ment in Real del Monte, the dividend on which is
reduced to 30 15 premium.

NEW Music.—We have been much pleased
with a little song, entitled " Oysters, Sir," the music of
which has just been published, as sung by Miss GRADDON,
at Vauxhall. The air is lively, with a dash of tenderness
about it, just sufficient to render it interesting.
HANIBURGH, AUG. 17.—We had onl) two
ships at the Greenland fishery this year—the Young
Martin, Captain Carl, and the Anna Elizabeth, Captain
Harmsen. They are both returned, the former with 2,000
seals, and the latter with two fish and 233 seals.

The Osage savages of Missouri are not the
only North Americans who have subscribed for the medal
struck in honour of Mr. Canning. A Journal informs us,
that Mr. Hurtado, Charge d'Affaires of the Mexican Re-
public, is amongst the number of the subscribers. Quo-
tidienne.

The infidel Carlile is at present at Stockport
giving public lectures on—morality Glasgow Courier.
THE HARV ES T.—The weather which was
very unfavourable during the last week has since become
remarkably fine, and the gathering
. of. the harvest is pro-
ceeding rapidly. The limn? rams which have fallen have
not, we believe, done any material injury to the standing
corn, or that which is cut. The crops of wheat and oats
in this neighbourhood are uncommonly fine. We have
received similar accounts from other parts of the country,
an,l there can be no doubt, that if we are favoured with a
short period of fine weather, all fears as to the result of the
harvest will be allayed.—Stockport Advertiser.
The following melancholy occurrence took
place at Bury a few days ago. Mr. Joseph Mason, of
Orerfields, perceiving that his house was infested with rats,
had laid poison under a chest of drawers in one of the
chambers. The poison was arsenic, mixed with oatmeal.
In the course of the day Mr. Masen's children went to play
in this chamber ; and discovering the poisonous mixture on
the floor, which they took for pure meal, they gathered up
and ate as much of it as they could. They were soon violently
attacked with sickness ; and though the unhappy parents.
procured prompt medical assistance, they had the pain of
seeing two of their little innocents expire before the follow-
ing morning. These were two boys of the ages of three
and four years ; another child was for some time considered
to be in danger, but is now thought likely to survive,—
