SALE OF GAME BILL.

Lord MILTON supported the Bill. Game was of such
a volatile nature that nobody could have a property in it. li
The object of preserving game seemed to be that Gentle-
men, at the end of the year, might be able to boast that
they had killed so many pheasants or woodcocks.
Mr. CRIPPS opposed the Bill. It was on account of
the game that gentlemen resided on their estates some parts
of the year.
Sir W. W. WYNN also said a few words in opposition
to the Bill.
Mr. VILLIERS supported the motion for going into
the Committee.
Lord EBRINGTON supported the Bill, considering it
the first step to greater improvements.
Lord PALMERSTON thought the present Laws so
objectionable, that he would support any attempt at
amendment.
Lord MORPETH expressed the same opinion.
The House divided—
For the Motion... 64. I Against it... 19 I Majority... 45
The House then went into a Committee. The Chair-
man reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on
Monday next.—Adjourned at Three o'clock.

late MAJESTY GEORGE THE THIRD, with tho
Right Honourable WILLIAM PITT, is now

MR. GREEN'S ASCENT FROM ASHTON-
UNDER-LYNE.—Mr. Green, accompanied by Mr. Henry
Backhouse, of the Britannia Distillery, Manchester, made
his '7oth aerial voyage from the Gas Works, Ashton-under-
Lyne, on Tuesday last. The ascent was -fixed for three
o'clock ; but, owing to the unfavourable state of the
weather, was delayed until near six ; at which time the
balloon was loosened from its moorings, and in twenty mi-
rutes reached an altitude of two miles and a quarter.—
At ten minutes before seven o'clock they landed safely on
Hatfield Moss, near Thorne, Yorkshire, and twelve miles
east of Doncaster, which place they reached about mid-
night. They arrived at Ashton on Wednesday evening
about eight o'clock, in a chaise at.d four, amidst the loud
acclamations of the assembled populace.

THE GREAT UNKNOWN.—AS one of the
Italian vende:s of stucco was passing along George-street,
with a bust of the " Great Unknown" on his arm, he
accosted Sir Walter, while he was conversing with Profes-
sor Wilson, with the usual question, "Sere, vill
you buy?"
Sir Walter smiled, and asked if it was a good likeness.
Italian—" 0, yes, 'Tis de Great Uuknown_ver Boot
likeness." Professor—" Did you ever see him ?"—ltalian
—"No, Sere." Professor—" Is the bust like this gen-
tleman ?" The Italian looked atedfastly at Sir Walter,
and then exclaimed, " 0, yes, by Gar, 'tis de great living
unknown ! I have made rhuch profits by your head, Sere
—vill give you dis for nothing." (To make this story in-
telligible to our country readers, we must mention, that
excellent casts of Sir Walter's head, of the full size, are now
hawked about the town in great numbers, at 4s, or ss.
each.)— Scotsman.

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 8, 1827.

We received this afternoon, by express, the
Etoile dated yesterday ; it contains an. article
commenting on one inserted in the Times a few
days ago, respecting the interference of the Great
Powers in the affairS of Greece. The observa-
tions of the Etoile correspond with those of the
Times, so that we may infer the question re-
specting Grecian Independence will shortly be
set at rest. The Etoile contains no other news
worth quoting.

French Three per Cents. 71f. Pc.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday, and the Etoile,
dated Wednesday morning, have reached us.
The Moniteur announces that a " Naval Di-
vision" has sailed from Toulon, for the purpose
of obtaining satisfaction for a gross insult offered
to the Consul-General of France, at Algiers, by
the DEY, as well as for other causes of corn-
plaint which France has against that State. We
shall soon see whether the squadron fitting at
Brest, is destined for the same service—that it
is intended for the Mediterranean we have no
doubt.

The Government of Hayti, it appears, is ex-
erting itself to fulfil its engagements with France.
Two of three ships, bringing consignments on
account of the indetrinity,• have already reached
Havre, and the two six months' instalments are
to be paid on the. 30th instant. The French
Funds have, perhaps, in consequence of this cir-
cumstance, slightly advanced.
Letters from Madrid still notice the appear-
ance of Constitutional Guerillas in Arragon
and other provinces of Spain, and the Gazette
is obliged to admit the existence of this opposi-
tion to the present system. If the French army
were to be withdrawn from Spain, another
struggle for constitutional liberty would take
place, which we- suspect would soon put an end
to the Government of FERDINAND.

_
The Quotidienne mentions that further dis.
turbances have taken place at Elvas, but the cor
rectness of the statements admits of much doubt

There is no end to the " dirty tricks" of the I
Ultras. They have revived the old story of the
Press having been bought by Mr. CANNING,
and have invented a new one about the Lords of
his Majesty's Household having been turned out
for voting in favour of the Duke of WELLING-
TON'S amendment. The first fabrication received a
flat contradiction from Lord DUDLEY, who said
that " not one shilling had` been applied to the
purpose of influencing-any.portion:of the Press
of this country." And with respftt to the se-
cond, Lord DELAWARE stated,,,", that he had
followed up his vote on the Corn Bill by resign-
ing his situation, and that without receiving
any intimation, or holding any communication
with any person whatever." Not that persons
connected with Government can find fault with
being removed when opposing that Government,
if their own good feeling does not lead them to
the line of conduct pursued by Lord DELA-
WARE.

The following handsome testimony was borne
by Lord STRANGFORD to the character of Mr.
CANNING as a vigilant guardian of the public
purse :—" I have had the honour," said the Noble
Viscount, "to serve under nine successive Se-
cretaries of State for the Foreign Department ;
and I never knew a Minister, with regard to this
particular branch of expenditure, more minute,
or more careful, than the Right Hon. Gentle.
man who last held the Foreign Secretaryship."

Mr. CANNING brought down, last night, a
Message from the Throne, announcing that his
MAJESTY deemed it expedient to provide for
any additional expellees which may arise on ac-
count of the continuance of the Forces in Por-
tugal. Mr. CANNING subsequently explained
that this Message had reference to the vote of
credit for 500,0001. to which he alluded in his
financial expose. The consideration of the
Message is•fixed for this evening, and it may be
expected that the discussion on it will put the
House in possession of more, distinct informa-
tion relative to our present relations with Por-
tugal than it at present possesses. It may be
safely inferred, however, from the circumstance
of this vote of credit being required, that there
does not exist any, strong probability of (fur
Troops being withdrawn from Portugal, during
the present year, as had been rumoured. As
long as the French Troops remain in Spain, and
a Spanish Army on the frontiers of Portugal,
so long, we say now, as we said before, must a
British Army be maintained in Portugal.

Brussels Papers to the 7th inst., and the
Allgenzeine Zeitung to the 2d, have been re-
ceived
this morning. Their contents, if true,
are highly important. They state that the
British Ambassador at Constantinople bad sent
off a despatch, announcing the entire defeat of
the Turks before Athens, on the 29th of April.
Their loss is said to have been 10,000, but this
must be an exaggeration :
The Austrian Observer says that Lord Cochrane has
declared to the Greek Government that he tvyuld not.bind
himself to explain to it his plans of operation„ or to com-
municate them to the officers under. his command ; only
that, in case of success or fail] e, he woultk send a report
to the Government. _ •

.I.UGISEURGIH t MAY.3I.
A German Journal contains,..iti a letter from hatisbon,
26th, of May, the following news, which, if confirmed, is
highly important :—" A Courier .frrom Constantinople has
just passed through this city, dispatched by the Eng-
lish-Ambassador in the Turkish capital to London, with
the news that ;OR the 29th of last month the Turks
weri defeated by the Greeks in the plain of Athens with
a Yvy great loss (10,000 killed are spoken of). The

Turks were sueeessiveiy driven from all their entrench-
ments, and forced to abandon all their artillery and baggage.
The Lord High .Commissioner of the lonian Islands, dis-
patched, on the 6th .of May, a courier from Corfu, with
the same news, who arrived here, on his way to London, a
few hours after the first."

Other Journals contain the following statement, which
likewise seems very much in need of confirmation:—
The interesting problem of the affairs of Greece
seems to approach its solution. A great European
Power has addressed a circular to its Allies, in which
after explaining the principles of its policy, the ob-
ject of which has constantly been the preservation
of the general peace, it intimates that in conse-
quence of the latest declaration of the Porte, there remained
scarcely any hope that it would ever listen to the dictates
ofjustice and moderation, unless coercive measures were em-
ployed against it; that the time to proceed to such measures
being now come, it would leave it for its allies to determine
whether o last trial should be made, but it must, however,
desire that a certain time be peremptorily fixed, within
which the Porte must declare itself, and which it conceived
would not be too short, if fixed for about the middle of
June. When this time •is expired, it will recal its
Ambassador from Constantinople, and take those steps
which, in former communications to the Cabinet, it had
already announced for the case in question."

Mr. PEEL last night obtained leave to bring
in a Bill to amend the law relating to reading
Briefs in Churches. _ _

There are few systems which are more liable
to objection than that under which Briefs for
the collection of sums for building and repairing
Churches, or for the Relief of Sufferers by Fire,
are wanted, and carried into effect. Mr. PEEL
pointed out 'many of these objections; Ana' Mr.
STurtoEs BOURNE, in supporting the necessity
of altering the present practice, most sensibly
remarked that the reading of Briefs was, in his
opiriktn, a most unseemly interruption of the
performance of Divine worship. This prac-
tice, therefore, will be got rid of ; kit we ,7annot
help suggesting to the Home Secretary, that it
would be highly desirable, at the same time, to
get rid of various other interruptions to which
public worship is at present subject. The pro-
clamation of banns, during Divine service, often
calls the mind from the contemplation of thoSe
subjects, whieli alone ought to occupy it in the
House of GOO ; but if, connected as marriage is
with our religious as well as civil Institutions,
thiS practice may be advocated by some of the
best amongst us, we cannot admit that there can
be any necessity for preserving the practice of '
giving notice of 'Vestries, Assessments for King's
and Parochial Rates, the holding of Courts'
Leet and Baron, and many other such like
matters, which are now announced by the
Clerk in the middle of the service, and often
in a style to provoke the laughter of the most
seriously-inclined persons. All these notices
might as well be published by being affixed against
the Church doors, or by other means suited to
the local circumstances of each parish. The
human mind, without any external cause, is too
prone to wander from the thoughts with which
it ought to be engaged during the time set
apart to the public worship of the ALMIGHTY;
and every matter which is calculated to increase
this infirmity of our nature, ought to be most
carefully avoided during the performance of
Divine, service.

Private letters from Carthagena de Colombia of the 11th
April, received via America, state that every thing was
perfectly quiet and peaceable at that pert ; trade was dull
and money scarce ; but they also mention the intention of
the party-writing to remit dollars per the packet. This
intelligence is the more agreeable, as by the former arrivals
via Jamaica, the accounts Were Sated to be of so unplea-
sant a nature, as to require. the presence of some of our
vessels of war for the protection of British property.
Letters from Manchester and the neighbouring manufac-
turing- towns, received this morning, represent a furthey
improvement. Business was extremely brisk ; and all
useful hands find employment at au advance of wages.

THE FUNDS,-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

Consols closed yesterday at 831 4, but some few private
bargains were done after hours at a shade lower, being
884 ; this morning the opening price was 84 but
shortly after became 84* buyers, and are now at the first
price. The business hitherto transacted has not been of
much importance, but the market looks better than yester-
day, and the gloom that hung over it seems dispersing.
India Bonds are 77 9, Exchequer Bills, 46 8 pm. In
the Foreign Funds Colombian 6 per Cents. are 29, buyers,
being a small improvement. The accounts from this
quarter, received by the Manchester, from New York are
sal unfavourable to this Stock. Mexican Bonds are
steady at 681 t.
