LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 26, 1829.

The feeling in favour of Emancipation is, we
are delighted to perceive, gaining ground among
all the high-minded and intelligent classes of the
community. That exemplary Prelate and un-
impeachable private character, the Bishop of
WINCHESTER, in presenting a petition last
night to the House of Lords, took the oppor-
tunity of declaring that his sentiments were
strongly in favour of the measures proposed
by Government for the relief of the Catho-
lics. Such an opinion from such an authority
will, no doubt, meet every where with the deep
and serious attention it deserves. In the House
of Commons Sir .T. SCARLETT presented a
petition, signed by 324, gentlemen of that in-
fluential body the English bar, in favour also of
concession. Thus it will appear that the en-
lightened Members of the church and law are
both equally averse to the longer continuance of
that odious system of intolerance and exclusion
which has so long degraded the spirit of the
English Constitution.

The Prussian State Gazette, of the 20th
instant, contains the following short article in
favour of the Greeks.

With respect to the sentence of the National
Tribunal of Warsaw—we think that the Emperor
NICHOLAS would consult both his own honour,
and the good sense of the Empire, by showing
more clemency to those culprits convicted of
High Treason. The Emperor is now surely

too strong for the acts or the seditious, and
policy might whisper that it is wiser to conciliate
than to exasperate :

LGINA, JAR. 31.

(From the Greek Bee.)

Captain Falconer, commanding the Perseverance steam-
boat, has undertaken an expedition to the Gulf of Volo
and Negropont, where he has captured four Turkish ships
of war, which are a very welcome addition to our flotilla.
Captain Falanga has delivered 500 unfortunate Greeks,
who to avoid the Turks who came from Zeitoune had
taken refuge in caverns, and were in danger of perishing
from hunger.

WARSAW, MARCH 16.

The National Tribunal of the kingdom of Poland will
announce to-day, in its public sittir,g, the sentence passed
on the individuals accused of high treason.
_ _

The Prince of Hesse Homburg arrived here on the 14th,
on his return from Petersburgh and Vienna.

The French Papers contain no news of im-
portance. Their extracts from the German
Journals serve merely to strengthen the reports
that the Russians and Turks are using every
endeavour to recommence the war with as much
spirit as possible.

The following are extracts from Brussels Pa-
pers of the 25th inst.:—

BRUSSELS, MARCH 24.

Letters from Rome of March 19, say that the Count de
Celles, Ambassador of the Netherlands, was to present the
following day his credentials to the Conclave ; this is the
first time that the Minister of a Protestant Prince basbeen
admitted to the sacred College.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wurtemburg rrrived
here to-day from Paris.

BRUSSELS, MARCH. 23.

On Wednesday the Chamber Fill discuss in a secret
sitting the proposed address to the King; next Monday it
will discuss in a public sitting the question of the re-esta-
blishment of the Jury.

An amended Inv on the public press has been submitted
o the Second. Chamber.

The Hamburgh Reports), and other Ham-
burgh papers of the 28th March, have been re-
ceived, but their contents are not interesting.
The Danes are again making exertions to re-
cruit their Navy : _

COPENHAGEN, MARCH 14.

We have two ships of the line, a frigate, and a corvette,
on the stocks, which will be completed next year. We
shall then have six ships of the line ; there are besides two
others en the stocks.

HANOVER, MARCH 15.

Great inconvenience arising from the variety of weights
and measures in different provinces, it is in contempla-
tion to introduce a uniformity in this respect in the
whole kingdom.

BORSEN HALLE, MARCH 20.

The inactivity of our Corn market still continues. For
Foreign account no purchases have of late been made.
Between the 9th and 13th Inst. one cargo of oats passed
through the Sound on its way from Kiel to London.

Much business has been done to-day in Polish securi-
ties, which have risen considerably. They were done yes-
terday at 944, and to-day at 96 to 96i, to be delivered
three months after their appearance. This advance has
been occasioned by the favourable reception of these securi-
ties upon the Amsterdam Exchange, and the expectation
of an equally favourable reception at Frankfort.

In other stocks there has bean but little doing. Austrian
Bank Shares are dull in consequence of the low courses
from Vienna. Auglo-Russian and Danish continue brisk.

Among the reports circulated at Cadiz, on
the authority of letters from Mexico, one was,
that General SANTA ANNA had declared in
favour of BRAVO being named President of the
Republic. SANTA ANNA was at that time in
Colombia, where his services could be of as
little value to BRAVO as his wishes.

The last accounts received at Toulon from
the Morea, stated that a convoy of transports,
with troops, had left Navarin, but owing to bad
weather were obliged to return to port, and the
troops were relanded. The destination of the
troops was not mentioned.

It was reoorted this morning in the City that
Ministers intended to ask Parliament to put off
the Easter • holidays, except Good Friday and
Easter Monday, in order that the Catholic
Relief Bill may be made into a law as
quickly as possible. Whether this be so or not,
we th ink it will be for the benefit of the nation
at large that the Catholic Question be settled
without delay. When once passed, the wonder
will be that a measure of such indispensable ne-
cessity should have been so long delayed.

ERRATUM.—In the List of Subscriptions in
the Spitalfields' Advertisement, in yesterday's Paper, the
name t'f Capt. G. MINE DY Was inserted instead of Captain
GEORGE MuNnY, C.B.

EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCH.—The Earl
of Liverpool steam-packet, Captain 1116 DEN MAJOR, left
Ostend at one o'clock the day before yesterday morning,
landed her passengers in London at half-past three in the
afternoon, towed the Mary, of 280 tons, from the London
Docks to Gravesend, and returned to her moorings off the
Custom-house by 12 o'clock in the evening.
NATIONAL GRATITUDE.—O'CONNEI.L.—
We perceive, and perceive with pride as Irishmen, that a
meeting is to he held in Dublin on Wednesday, to make
arrangetnents for the intendel national tribute to Mr.
O'CoN NELL. This national testimony has been talked of
for years. It matters not who was the first publicly to
call for it, let it be the object of every one to press forward,
and not to be the last. It is but justice, however, to an
eminent Nobleman, Lord RossmoaE, to say that we be-
lieve he was the first publicly to call upon the country.—
Dublin Morning Register.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.--The Oratorio
13st night at this Theatre was well attended. It consisted
of a selection from the vocal compositions of HANDEL,
MOZART, WADE, ROSSINI, PACINI, and others. As one
of the " signs of the times," we may observe that CIIERU-
BiNi's overture to Anacreon was encored by the one shil-
ling gallery ! What will Lord ELDON say to this innova-
tion on the old musical tastes of the country ?
SUFFOLK-STREET EXIIIBITION.—TbiS COl-
lection of paintings was yesterday opened for a private
view. It is a very improved exhibition, and the pictures
for the most part of a high order of excellence.

THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TwsLrE o' Cr.oer.

By accounts of the sth inst., received from
Gibraltar, we have intelligence that the trade of the
port had been totally suspended, in consequence of
the declaration of the Spanish Government, by
which Cadiz is declared to be a free port, and num-
bers of the first houses in the garrison had the inten-
tion of either going altogether from Gibraltar, or
forming branches of this establishment at Cadiz;
this measure is considered as a severe blow to the
commerce of the former place, on the rain of which
the future splendour of the latter port is likely to be
founded, if conducted with a due regard to a liberal
and enlightened policy on the part of the Spanish
authorities. Consols have been rather heavy this
morning, they opened at 871 a for money, and 87t
for time ; were buyers at 87/ for a short period,
when the market gave way without any important
business; they are now 871 4 for immediate transfer,
and 875, sellers, for account. Exchequer Bills are

operations that have hitherto taken place; Russian

It is reported pretty generally that Sir JAMES
ScARLETT is again to be Attorney-General.—Times.
Viscount MELVILLE held a levee yesterday at
the Admiralty. A fortnight having elapsed since his Lord-
ship held a levee, there was a numerous attendance of naval
officers.

It appears, from returns made by order of the
House of Commons, that the total number of steam boats
or ♦essels beloning to all the ports of Great Britain is 310,
and the number of tons 26,374. Vessels belonging to
Government are not included in this account. Of the
number in the return 57 belong to the port of London. It
also appears that 16 steam-boats are now building.

At an adjourned Meeting of Students of the

from Brighton for trial at the Assizes, many of them, we
regret to say, for offences of greater magnitude than usual.

Among my numerous visitors this morning I
had a travelling musician, attended by two boys. His M-
strument was a violin, made of a gourd, with three strings
of horse-hair, not in single hairs, but a number for each
string untwisted; the bow the same; the body of the
violin was formed of half a long gourd ; the bridge, two
cross sticks ; the top, the skin of a guana, stretched tightly
over the edges; the neck was about two feet long, orna•
mented with plates of brass, having a hollow brass knob at
the end. To this instrument was hung a diminutive pair
of sandals, to denote his wandering occupation, a piece of
❑atron, strings of cowries, and stripes of cloth. The boys
had hollow gourds with stones or beans in them, with
which they kept time by holding them in one hand, and
beating them against the other. The musician accompa-
nied his instrument with his voice, the boys joining in
chorus. His songs were extempore.—Clapperton's Se-
cond Expedition.

AN IMPUDENT, INDISCREET TIIIEF.-011
Saturday night, the house of respectable individual at Be-
verley was broken into by a fellow ❑amed JONES, who it
seems is a notorious character in the neighbourhood. He
had made his way undetected into the bed-room of the
master and mistress of the house, where he had stolen
money from the pockets of their clothes. In the course
of his depredations, however, having found some wine, he
made free with it till he became so much intoxicated, that
his noise and singing awoke the initiates of the house,
who having given the alarm and procured assis•ance, be
was taken into custody. He was yesterday examined be-
fore the Magistrates, and committed to York Castle, to
take his trial at the present assizes for the burglary,
Hull Packet.
