LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 2, 1829.

The great—the all-engrossing Question comes on
1114ight for discussion in the House of Lords.

height 0 the occasion; and the firm conviction
Thtnie all classes of people is, that the Bill will pass

'he Ultras are already in despair, but with their
441141 characteristic tenacity, are resolved to fight to
the last. We anticipate, therefore, that the Debate
19 be an adjourned one.

Prencil Pupers contain no news of moment. By

(1441paign between the Russians and Turks are
Ng on with rapidity and vigour on both sides.

We quote the following from the Tittles of this
morning; we trust that it will afford a useful hint
to the alarmists:—

" A communication took place on Tuesday, from the
Duke of Wellington to the Duke of Newcastle : an at-
tempt is made to attach some importance to the incident.
Mr. 'Justice Shallow had access to John of Gaunt once,
in the Tilt-yard, as Falstaff states, but it was only to get
his head broke. The favour which the greater Duke
bestowed upon the less was somewhat of the same kind.
His anti-Catholic Grace had entertained a project of going
to Windsor, to present a petition or petitions to the King,
at the head of a procession of carriages and pedestrians.
Such a thing might have been thought imposing; but the
scheme was blown up, by his Majesty's signifying his pleasure
that the petitions should be transmitted through the Home
Secretary ! Mortifying enough ! and this determination of
his Majesty formed the subject of the communication from
the Duke of Wellington to the Duke of Newcastle. We
hope the addressers, petitioners, remonstrants, and all such
like enemies of concession, will now understand what the
feelings of his Majesty are on the subject."

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TIVELFR o' CLOCK.

The business of the Stock Exchange appears to
he now on so reduced a scale that the employment
of the most influential Brokers is a complete sine-
cure, and in the annals of Capel-court never were
the complaints of a want of business so general.
Consols opened nominally at 874 for money, and
874 4 for the settlement, since which the only
variation has been their having become rather heavy
for money, awl for a moment 87i, sellers. Lx-
chequer Bills 60 1 pm.; India Bonds, 53 5.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

These Sessions commenced this morning. The calendar
is tho heaviest ever known, containing more than fifty
charges of felony, and about 100 of assaults and mis-
demeanors.

John Green and Frederick Fulford, were convicted
of picking the pockets of - Auldjo, Esq., of a silk
handkerchief.

The CHAIRMAN sentenced Fulford to be transported for
seven years ; and Green, who is a mere child, to he im-
prisoned six months, and to be twice privately whipped.

Lady RIVERS gave a grand ball and supper
yesterday evening,•at her house in Grosvenor place, which
was elegantly attended.

A Grand Concert took place this morning a
Guildhall, for the benefit of the Spanish and Italian Re
fugees. An immense number of the haut-ton attended
and among others the Duke of SUSSEX, and' the Duke and
Duche•s of GLOUCESTER. The Duke of WELLINGTON
was expected, but had not arrived by the tine that our
informant left.

MR. BUCKINGHAM'S LECTURES.-_Mr•
BUCKINGHAM is expected to arrive in Leeds this day,
and to commence his lectures on Monday. Having had
the pleasure to hear these lectures in another town, we are
able to recommend them in the strongest manner to our
readers of every class and of both sexes. We do not
exaggerate when we say, that Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S HU ra-
tive and descriptions of the remarkable countries which he
has visited, form the most interesting and entertaining
lectures we have ever heard. They are not read, but de-
livered extemporaneously, and are of course much more
pleasing on that account. With a mind full to overflow-
ing of information concerning the countries he has vi-
sited, with a fluency and elegance of diction not to be
surpassed, with an amiable ingenuousness of manner
which shows that the traveller's feelings have nut
been sophisticated by all that he has seen and ex-
perienced, Mr. BUCKINGHAM cannot fail to impart
very high gratification to any intelligent person who lis-
tens to his descriptions of countries comparatively little
known to Englishmen, but abounding above all others in
grand and interesting monuments of ancient art, and in
natural features of great beauty and interest. In our opi-
nion his first Lecture, which includes the unrivalled anti •
pities of Egypt, is the most interesting of the course, but
ad possess very great merit. The Lecture on the India and
China trade is the most important to commercial men, and
no person ought to be ignorant of the facts which he men-
tions. We do not hesitate to say that any gentleman or
lady who can command time to attend these Lectures, will
derive the greatest pleasure from hearing them ; and we
hope our mercantile men will listen to the concluding Lec-
ture with the view of having a public meeting in this
town, to petition for the abolition of the East India Com-
pany's exclusive privileges, and the opening of the India and
China trade to unrestricted competition..—Leeds Mere.
