LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4, 1829.

Mr. SARTON, an lonian messenger, arrived
at the Colonial Office, this morning, with de-
spatches from Sir FREDERICK ADAM, Lord
High Commissioner of the lonian Isles, dated
the 27th July. He was likewise the bearer of
despatches from Mr. DAWKINS, at Greece,
dated 14th June, They contain no intelligence
of any importance.

The French Papers contain no news from the
East. The Legislative Chambers having closed
on Friday, will relieve the Ministry, if it be able
to stand its ground, from a good deal of annoy-
ance. The blockade, or rather bombardment of
Algiers, seems to engage the attention of
the Cabinet, and the sooner the subject is
brought to a conclusion the better, for by
the end of 4pgust the autumnal equinox will
driYe the French squadron off the coast, or
render their situation extremely critical. We
only wonder how the French Government, with
a fine fleet, and a nntnerons army at its dis-
posal, should have so long delayed bringing
the lley of ALGIERS to his senses. The
French possess peculiar facilities for the enter-
prise—Toulon being nearly opposite Algiers,
and every thing in their favow ar a descent on
the coast, or a naval bombardment, or both con 7
jointly. Their long hesitation implies either pu-
sillanimity or want of energy.
Private accounts from Nig, this morning, state

that notwithstanding the confident reports of a
change in the French Ministiy, none will Ilke
place. Prince POLIGNAC returns to London
immediately. his recent journey to Paris is
said to have related to the progress of the Russian
arms, and the affairs of the East generally.

We received this morning St. Petersburgh
Papers of the 21st Jelly, but they contain no
news from the theatre of war. Indeed we cannot
expect the first intimation of any event of con-
sequence from that quarter, the Berlin Gazette
having hitherto anticipated every other channel
of communication. It would appear by the fol-
lowing extract, that while the Emperor is inde-
fatigable in pushing forward his military con-
quests, the less obtrusive, but more silent march
of commerce is not forgotten. The Russians
seem to follow up their late successes in Persia,
by the introduction of native manufactures, which
have turned out so profitable a speculation, that
a repetition of the mercantile adventure is to be
put in execution without delay. Thus it will be
observed, the spirit of Russian enterprise is armed
at all points, ready to take advantage of every
circumstance that may arise, whether in the
eventful turmoil of war, or in the humbler walks
of peace :

ST. PETERSEURGH, JULY 20.—His Majesty the Em-
peror arrived on the sth at Kiew, on the 11th at Tscher-
nigow, and set out the same afternoo❑ for Bobruisk. His
Majesty enjoys excellent health.
A letter from Astrachan of the 24th June says, " Last
year a manufacturer, of Schuja, sent printed calicoes and
nankeens, to the value of 300,000 rubles, to the Persian
port of Zinzili, on the Caspian. Part of these goods was
sent to Tauris, where they were sold for 30 per cent. profit:
the remainder were sold to advantage at Zinzili. The
clerk who was sent with them is expected in a short time
at Bukow, to receive another consignment of the same
value." This example will, we hope, show to our manu-
facturers the advantage that may be derived from commerce
on the Cispian.
His Excellency Baron Alexander Von Humboldt arrived
at Perau on the 13th June.

Hobart Town Papers to the 29th March
have been received. The wheat crop was rather
damaged in the New Settlement, near Algoa
Bay, by wet weather, which occasioned smut.
At Sydney, wheat was 7s. 6d. per bushel, and
at Hobart Town it continued at an average of
about Bs. The crop of hops was most luxuriant
and of a very superior quality.
A Russian frigate was lying at the Cape of
Good Hope, having on board sealed orders,
which were not to be opened till her arrival at
Hobart Town Bay. She was supposed to have
been sent on a partial voyage of discovery.

Demerara Papers to the 13th June have been
received at the North and South American
Coffee-house, but their contents possess no
news of interest.

Adviccs from Odessa, of the Bth ult., state,
that the health of the place continued satisfactory,
and all fears of the plague had subsided. Not
more than 30 persons had died, and of these 16
were sick prior to their arrival.

Letters from the Mauritius, to the 27th April

inclusive, inform us that an English vessel had
arrived there from Madagascar with intelligence
of the loss of the French schooner of war La
Turquoise, commanded by M. MARION. The
officers, crew, and materiel, were saved.

By the same channel, it was also asserted that
several large French merchantmen have been
sunk off Foul Point.

The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 28th July,
contains an article, dated Cologne, touching the
establishment of a direct communication between
England and Prussia by means of the Rhine, for
which purpose a society is to be formed, called
" the Prussian Shipowners' Society," with a ca-
pital of 300,000 dollars, divided into 3,000
shares of 100 dollars each :

COLOGNE, JULY B.—We hear that, for the purpose of
establishing a direct communication by means of the Rhine,
between Rhenish Pl usbia and England, a society, to be
called the Prussian Rhenish Ship-owners' Society, is going
to be formed here, for the foundation of which a capital of
300,000 dollars will be required, divided into 300,000
shares of 1,000 dollars each. At the first only small vessels
of forty lasts are to be employed for a weekly communica-
tion with Hull, after which a direct intercourse will be
established with London and Liverpool. This plan will
certainly give new impulse to the commerce of the Rhenish
provinces. It may therefore be expected that the Prussian
Government will favour this undertaking. But some ap-
prehension may be reasonably entertained that the Govern-
ment of the Netherlands will throw obstacles in the way.
We hope, however, that the Prussian Government, in con-
cert with the Great Powers, and especially with England,
will not allow of the interference of the Government of
the Netherlands, but insist on the complete fulfilment of
the stipulations for the free navigation of the Rhine, and
employ the requisite means to attain the object.

We have a file of Papers from St. Chris-
topher's to the 10th June. The two 1-louses
of Legislature have met in Session. In the
house of Assembly M. PIQUENIT gave notice
of a Bill to remove the disabilities of his Ma-
jesty's Roman Catholic subjects in that island.

In the Court of Common Pleas of Dominica
an action had been tried, in which the Hon.
WILLIAM BLANC, the Attorney-General, was
plaintiff, and HENRY ASHTON, Esq., defendant.
The object was to obtain a compensation in da•
mages for an assault and flattery by Mr. ASHTON
on the Attorney-General. It was proved in
evidence that the plaintiff had been kicked by
the defendant, and the .jury gave a verdict of
1501. damages.

Letters from Holland this morning, bring
gloomy accounts of the heavy rains in that coun-
try lately. Should the weather continue so

Consols opened this morning at the same price

Extract of a letter from Perpignan, July 25.
" We learn to-day for a certainty, that the greatest
tranquillity prevails on eur frontiers, and the reported
conspiracy which was to have taken place has not
been put into execution. In the night of the 20th
and 21st inst. 250 of the most respectable citizens
were embarked on board a brig and sent to Ceuta,
they were stripped of their clothes, and clad ;n the
galley uniform. The greatest terror prevails at
Barcelona."

The Supreme Board of Health, sitting at Madrid,
has declared-Ist. That vessels from the Gulf of
Mexico shall not be admitted into Cadiz from the Ist
July to the 30th October, but be sent to the laza-
retto at Port Mahon. 2d. That vessels from the
United States of America, out of the Mexican Gulf,
that shall have sailed from the beginning of June to

shall be subjected to eight days' observation and ex-
purgation. 3d. Vessels from the Mexican Gulf, ar-
riving from July to the end of October, shall be
admitted into the port of Gallicia.

TWO O'CLOCK.

The Consol market for these two days past has
been entirely influenced by the weather; when the
sun puts forth its rays the market looks lively, and
when it appears gloomy and rains the market be-
comes sickly. This has been the case during this
morning, and Contols have fluctuated between 881
and 884, at the latter price alternately buyers and
sellers, with little or nothing doing.
The Foreign market continues at present without
a feature worth observation and scarce a bargain
doing. The Hamburg steamer has not as yet arrived.

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has taken, for a
limited period, the delightful house and grounds in
Twickenham-meadows, formerly occupied by OWEN
CAMBRIDGE, Esq., the author of the Scribleriad, a
mock-heroic poem, which in its day, was exceedingly popu-
lar. Lady BURDETT and the family remained at the
Talbot, at Richmond, from the time of their arrival from
Boulogne until they took possession of this large and con-
venient mansion, which, during 40 years of the life of
Mr. CAMBRIDGE, was one of the most hospitable in the
country. Here JOHNSON, REYNOLDS, GOLDSMITH,
THOMSON, GARRICK, STEVENS, Sir C. HANBURY
WILLIAMS, HENRY Fox, HORACE WALPOLE, Bun a,
and other celebrated wits and statesmen, held many a joy-
ous carouse.

CHATHAM, AUG. 2.—His Majesty's sloop
Algerine was launched yesterday from this Dock-yard.
She is decidedly an improvement upon that class of vessel,
being built without a raised forecastle, with lower bul-
warks and smaller ports ; she has been commissioned by
Capt. TALBOT, and is destined for the South American
station.

Madame MALIBRAN has left London from
Brustels to sing at the Concerts of the Court, &c. She
returns to England in a month to fulfil her engagements
at the Music Meetings.

The Carlow Morning Post says that the
country is perfectly tranquil, but it is inclined to despond
about the weather. At the Bruff sessions the four police-
men concerned in the late affray at Michelstown have been
build guilty, and sentenced to twelve months' imprison-
ment and hard labour. The Earl of KINGSTON was on
the Bench during the entire proceedings, and used every
exertion in satisfying the ends of justice.—Dublin
Packet.

A man named BAKER, his wife, and two
other women named BRYANT and CouslNl, have been
committed to prison at Exeter, charged on suspicion of
being concerned in the murder of Mr. WILLIAM LANG-
MAN, a farmer, whose body was dis,covered, a few days
ago, in a passage near a house of ill-fame in that city.

On Monday last, at a funeral in the neigh-
bouring parish, the Priest bid the Protestants " begone,
ye worshippers of Baal; ye'll be standing in hell with
your hats on. "—Fermanagh Reporter.

We have reason to believe that, for grouse
shooting, the prospects of the sportsmen were never more
flattering than for the present season. The game is most
plentiful, and every thing has tended to make the birds in
excellent condition. In the low country the partridges,
both young and old, were greatly destroyed by the heavy
and incessant rains of the 11th and 12th ult. Many of
the young were then about quitting the shell, or had just
left it, and in many instances the old ones were found
dead, shielding their brood..—Perth Courier.

Mr. BOLLAND is already named as likely to
he the new Baron of the Exchequer, in place of Sir Joint
Hum.ocx.—Morning Chronicle.

ANECDOTE OF KEMBLE.—This great actor
was once seated between the two Scotch Dukes of
and of A—; the conversation turned on genealogy, and
the two Peers grew warm upon the relative antiquity of
their houses. KIMBLE, who had not drank pending the
argument, and who saw with despair the bottle in abeyance
between their Graces, after muttering his impatience for
some time, broke out on a sudden with " D— both your
bloods, send round the wine."—Book of the Boudoir.
AN EXTREME CASE FOR MALTIIUSIANS.

—.There are at present residing in the parish of Methuen,
two twin brothers, whose father and uncle were also twins ;
both are married, and their wives were twins, and each
have had twin children.

A gentleman holding a situation in the city,
and residing at Denmark-hill, Camberwell, on Sunday
night, pn his way. home, most imprudently ventured
into one of those sinks pf iniquity that abound in the
Mint, Southwark, along with two prostitutes. He had
net been many minutes in the place, before he was robbed
of his gold watch and appendtta.gree:,tepto,g4ethtieler:::yh ten sl.
notes. There were several ruffians in the house at the
time, by Whom the gentleman was thrust out the moment
hehe wdiess;rOYbebrge'llitsYlePsstsercalneyd the two women were taken to
Union-hall, but the gentleman refused to appear, owing
to the fear of publicity being given to the circumstances
under which he was robbed. The women were com-
mitted as disorderly prostitutes to Brixton, and as one of
them was observed by the gentleman to hand over the
watch aud money to a man who has since absconded, the
Magi9;,rate has given directions to the constable to appre-
hend gim, and If possible to require the Agendance of the
party robbed.

BARON HULLOCK.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. ,A
SIR,—I agree in every word you have .sw
about Mr. Baron Hullock ; and I wish that
such men only were made Judges. I had made
up my mind to write to you, before I saw the
very proper eulogium which you had written (711.

imperative so to do,—to persuade the 14°'
Chancellor, or the other Ministers who 04
have voices in appointing the new Judge, that
he or they may appoint one as nearly as possible
like unto the Lord Chief Justice Tindal; whose
clearness of perception, great good-humour'
patience, and knowledge of the law, were so
.
perceptible, that every person in Court conic',
easily comprehend every part of the case. 111'
deed the Jury were made to understand the
things to be determined by them so well, that
their duty in every case was reduced to a small
compass, and perplexity was completely throl
by. After one of his summings up, I hear
one of the Barristers exclaim, " Very gook",
beautiful! no summing up can be more clear'

swearing (yet there was no horse-cause), but il3

that he was enough to try the patience of Ph;

is, that he is hardly loud enough for our Coil
