Our w0,..1 fair year 7-ris not turned ort Co well as WC
at tint expected. Pine wool, indeed, sold at much higher
prices,than last year, but there no favourable change.
in the price of middling and callinary On the
whole, however, if . we are reamable we must not be
dissatisfied with the result of the fair..

An 'uncivil c•itic of Spont;ni's neW opera, Agnes Von

zealous friends of the compeer tktt they.tore the criticism

given the writer ample satisfaction, by printing the criti-

to be distributed gratis to all the coffee-houses and other
places of public resort in and out of Berlin.

By intelligence fiont Hay..nuah to the 4th ult.., through
thP United States, we learn that only three American
vesse!s •Were eruizing off that coast ; and that the
seas in the nei ghbourhood were nearly free from pirates.
It seems that a fresh application had been sent out by the
King of SPNIN for a portion of the troops at present col-
leeted in the island of Cuba, hi order that they might assist
his views in Spain. The Governor, however, hart refused
to comply with this request ; and had assigned a 3 a ri,ason
the existilos planer from a threatened invasion on the part

of Colombia. At the same time he mn4 have known that
the Republic is at present in no condition to make a descent
upon Cuba; and, in consequence of his conviction that the
Hand was -exposed to no peril, a very small portion of the
military were kept under arms. Not long since, nearly
the whole force of the island was required to be in readi-
nes, at the shortest notice. Trade was very heavy, but
the crops of the island had a very promising. appearance.

To-day the market in Mincing-lard, • particularly for
raw Sugars,: is extremely brick, and a farther rise may
be quoted ; the measures of Government in allowing
the refiners to use Foreign "Sugars is likely to Occasion
a complete revolution in this article, and to bring
back a great portian of the business to this country
from the Continent; so strong is the general opinion in
favour of these new arrangements having this efect,•that
a great city Capitalist is said to be in the market making
extensive purchases, which must tend to a further advance.

BILBOA, JULY B.—A Colombian schooner privateer ap-
peared off this pmt on the 4th inst., and it is reported she
has captured several Spanish vessels from the Westward.
This has caused no vessels to arrive or sail from this port
since the 30th ult. ; the privateer mounts one twelve-
pounder and 30 men.

Papers and letters were received yesterday from Quebec
to the 9th of June. Every thing appears to he going on
well in the Canadas. The establishments of the Canada
Company are represented to be in a very flourishing state.
The township of Guelph, which consists of about 42,000
acres, situated near Burlington Bay, Lake Ontario, is one
of their principal settlements. A town has been laid out,
and some progress made in the building. - It is Called
Goderich town, in honour of Lord Goderich. The Com-
pany have .commenced the building of three churches in
different parts of their settlements. They have disposed
of a considerable quantity of land at a profit of from seven
to eight shillings an acre. As a place to emigrate to, we
should imagine that the Canadas and Nova Scotia are in
many respects preferable to the United States.. The taxes
are much lower, and land is more easily obtained. The
West Indies form an eNcellent mart for the sale of Cana-
dian produce, and the non-intercourse regulations with
respect to the United States, if continued, will operate most
powerfully in favour of the people of the former Colonies,
both as regards commerce and agriculture. The only fear
in Canada is that our Government will not persevere in
their present system. If they could be assured that the
non-intercourse regulations were likely to be permanent,
such means would speedily be adopted as would convince
brother Jonathan that the West Indies were in no way de-
pendent upon the United States.

THE FUNDS,--(TUIS DAY).

CITY, TWET vr O' CLOCK.

This being the Annie,rsary of hisMajPsty's Coronation,
the same is observed as a holiday at the Bank and Stock
Ex'Changes; and as the day appointed for the settlement of
the Account (the 26th inst.) epproache, the Speculators
seem desirous to curtail their business till this time is ex-
pired, being fearful to extend their speculations till this
period is over, from an alarm of failures, and the conse-
quence has been that but few private transactions have
hitherto taken place. Consols have been alternately 87J,
buyers and sellers; they are now the former, with scarcely
any thing doing. The Foreign Funds are equally doll ;
Mexican Bonds are quoted, 664 9 ; Colombian, 324 3,
but no bargains of the least importance have.taken place.
The merchants in the City complain that no . public
intimation was given from theAdniiralty of the arrival of
his Majesty's ship Primrose, either at Lloyd's or the Ge-
neral Post-office the the- consequence has been, that the report
in circulation was generally disbelieved. The arrival of
this vessel, which had been long expected, and of so much
importance both to underwriters and merchants, might,
we think, With due deference, be considered worth corn..
municating, when the sum insured cannot be less than
300,0001. hi the case of the Tweed, 'it was thought of
sufficient importance to send a messenger with iutelligeaca
of her arrival at Portsmouth.

Two o' CLOCK.

The price of Consols up to the above hour, has
remained at 87,1- for accomt. Mexican Bonds have been
rather heavy at t;871,, nut with:;tanding the arrival of the
Prithroge eloap of war, with a con,iderahle snot
of specie, for the account of that Government.—
The brohe}•e, and jobbers are beginning to' retire
from the Exchange ; and, upon the whole, it may be fairly
said to, have been an uninte7esting day,
,particnlaily as to
business'.

HALF-YEARLY MUSTER OF THE HOUSEHOLD INFANTRY.

The 2d and 3d Battalions of the Grenadier Regiment 'of
Guards, the Ist Bottalibn of the Coldstream Guards, anti
the I a Battalion of the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards, were
mustered ye4erda.y morning on the Parade in St. James's
Park, by Lieutenant-Colonel D'Aguilar, fluster-fluster of
the Household Troops. .

ACCIDENT.—This morning a shocking ac-
cident happened in Hatton-garden. A ginger-beer dealer,
panted Wiliam was driving a spring-cart down I-Ltton-
Garden, ~i-hen the horse took fright, and set off at full
speed, and on reachitw: Holborn it come in e?ntact with a
gig, in which was seated a gentleman named Alexander,
residin:r in Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury. The
lence.of the concussion broke the axietree of the cart, and
overturned the gig, and pitched Mr. A. with ,uch force
upon his head, that he was talti up fi.•:• lie was

Wombwell's Meaugerit des Beres SairvageS
arrived at Dewsbury, on its way to Leeds Fair,.
and on Sunday morning, same incendiary set
fire to the large caravan containing the elephant,
by throwing - upon it a firebrand, or some other
ittnited substance. Fortunately, an alarm was
given by some person accidentally passing, when
the lire had only penetrated through the first co-
vering of the caravan. The keepers were in-
stantly_roused, and by their prompt exertions,
aided by those. of a few inhabitants, the dreadful
consequences were prevented, which such a con-
flagration, if not timely suppressed, would have
produced. It is horrible to think of the havoc
'and destruction which. might have been effected
by the stupendous powers of an enraged ele-
phant, and the ferocity .of lions, tigers, and other
savage animals, all let looseupen the town,—

COACT-I ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday evening,
as one, of the Blackwall coaches was returning
into town, just as it reached the corner of Church-
lane, Whitechapel, and was turning into Abe-
street, a young man, the mate of an Indianian,
who was sitting on the roof, and who appeared to
have been taking too many libations, lost his

covered shortly, and on an examinat.ion of his

he had received was on the. hand, which was

On ._Tuesday evening, a acetic of root disgrace-
ful uproar prevailed during the passing of . the
funeral of an old man, named Langfield, from
his house in a court in the Strand. to St. Cle-
ment's burial-ground. The procession was beset
by about 1,00 people, who attacked, reviled,
and pelted the widow, who, from.some cause or
other, had become obnoxious to thern, and who,
they improperly insinuated, by 111 treatment, had
hastened her unfortunate husband's death, he
having been found in a water-butt, under circum-
stances Which led to a belief that-he had com-
mitted suicide. It was at length found necessary
to call in a party. of the police to keep off the
mob, principally- women, who had not decency
enough to stop their yelling during the reading
of the burial service. The widow was with
diffi-
culty got home by six 9f the constables.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
MORTIMEP. V. v:TsT.

This case stood for judgment.
His LORDIiIP stated, that the que,..tion turned
upon the construction of the will- of a Richard Mar'
timer. The testator bequeathed his property, CO;
sisting of real, copyhOld, freehold, leasehold, slls
personel estates generally to his three natural children
.
born of Martha Davis. • Those three children
were well enough described in the will ; but the
testament went on to say—" and to every other
child or children born of the body of Martha Day'`
and living at my decease, or borne and living within
nine-months afterwards." The three children allude!
to only were born at the time -when the will
was made ; afterwards a fourth was born, aria,
the testator then made a codicil in favour 0
that child ; but that codicil was defective, inasmuch!
as it could not pass real estate, according to the
Statute of Frauds. A fifth son was born, and 0
second codicil made, which was defective in like.
manner. The testator then died, and the bill was'
filed by the two younger children. Several case
had been cited in the course of the arguments, but
which the Court thought unnecessary to enter into,
because the terms of ,the bequest in the will were
general ; and were there was a bequest in a will to
children generally, legitimate children must
rbe
meant, unless by implication, or somethins
amounting to implication, it appeared that
the testator intended illegitimate children were
to be. included. There was nothing, however,
in the present will that manifested an intention, oa
the part of the testator, to leave his property, to the
illegitimate children. It was - extremely probable
that he meant to leave them some of it, but the in'
struments he had executed, according to law, did not
convey it to them.' Under these circumstances, the
Court had to declare that the two younger childro
were not entitled to take any thing at all, eith?r
under the will or codicils of the testator.

Mr. SUGDEN stated, that the case having be
thus far disposed of, as there were some flirt/
points to be discussed, probably the Court wot
allow the case to stand in the paper for ..-:-aturday,
be finally disposed of.
Leave granted.
