LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 19, 1829.

The Cambridge Election is concluded, Mr.
CAwtiPisli bpgp returned by an over-
whelming majority, and Mr. B4NKES—notwith-
standing the support of the Morning Journal,
and the literary halo shed round his name by his
father's Copstitutional History of Rome—has
been defeated, He quits the field, however,
with the consolatory reflection, that if the cause
of intolerance be no longer in the ascendant ,at
Cambridge, it is no fault of his ; hp has done his
best to support it.
Passing by the Election itself, we may be
permitted to congratulate our readers on
the very 'dim; 4)14 enlightened principles to
which it has given birth. ca:mbridge,-the
first, the most influential University in the
woild-,-has at length untied her leading strings.
She has come at opcp to a full and perfect
knowledge of her power. She is no longer to
be flattered—no longer to be duped by the
wheedling p,epches and still more wheedling
promises of the Ultras: Heneeforth she will
think and act for herself, and the mere exer-
cise oCithmtglit proves every where the overthrow
of High Toryism.

Oporto, Papers of the 30th May, and Lisbon
of the 6th inst. hare been received ; their con-
tents possess no interest or even novelty. The
same unvarying course of persecution and poli,
tical murder characterises the present history
of that unhappy country. The following are
extracts:—

OroitTo, MAY 29.--Since the fulfilment of the sen-
tence of the ten'erimina4 who were executed on the 7th
inst., for the crime of rebellion, the ;flpmbers of the Al-
cada have been engaged in frequent conferences respecting
other criminals who are to be tried, the prisoners Ma-
nod Teixeira Leomenil and Ignacio Moinz Coelho da
Silva Noting clready undergone farther interrogatories in
the prison.
The day before yesterday time EzmY Alcada met in a
body to decide on the embarkation of the eleven criminals
who were condemned to transportation to various place's,
by the sentence of the 9th of April las►. This sentence
Wag oadeyed to be carried into effect, only Jose d'Azevedo,
who was sentence 4 to ten years' banishment to Mouth-
bique, was ordered to be ba,4sheir..!. for the same time to
the island of St. Thomas.

In the same sitting it was decided that the Royal pardon,
according to the decree of the 18th Jure last, was appli-
cable to three c4rninals, who were to be set at liberty,
viz., Joao Soares Pint., hite Ensign of the Infantry,
No, 6 ; Jose Mende Teixeira, turner, a,tl soldier of the
company of gunners of this city ; Miguel Goacalves Salty
gado, brasier? and 6oldi,er of the same corripany.
Jt helog lituspceted that the criminal Joaquim Jonde
Qttiroi, who W 34 member of the rebel 3vn4, formed in the
city in May la:", vette, tioncealed, in the district where
with a detach-
he resided, Joao' ti'°l4*.4
and went on
ment of militia, was. sent in search nr him,
the 20th instant to the Born Successio, but wag !triable to
find the criminal, but in the house of a friend in that place
they found a small horr bf;longing to him, which they took
away, which on being opened way 1,0;:n.d to contain some
pieces of silver, many written doerwows, shylr r*.icnrlvey-
ances, bonds, some books and papers, the value 'of which
is estimated at above six contos of rein (15,000 crusados.)
The Lisbon Gazettes from the 6lb June, inclusive, eon-

Mira no news whatever. They are filled with military
promotions, accounts of presentations of addresses to
the King, and the like ; and the Nos. for 2d and 6th June,
contain in thirty columns a part of the account of the pro—
ceedings of the tribunal of Oporto.

Our City Correspondent says, " we under-
stand that about fifty Portuguese Refugees have
arrived in London, from Oporto, from which
place they contrived to get away by stealth.
Affairs remained at the period of their departure,
in the same disturbed state, and great fear was
entertained of more executions."

At the Midlesex Sessions yesterday, Mr.
FLOWER, in commenting on the expense of the
present Sessions, stated, that "in the late_ pro-
secution of the woman lIIBNER, the sum of
one guinea each was allowed by Mr. SHELTON,
the Clerk of the Arraigns, for the loss of time
of the poor work-house children who gave evi-
dence against her." One guinea each for the
work-house paupers ? Surely there must be
some great mistake here ! The sum is mon-
strous ; and those who proposed, and those who
paid it, must alike have taken leave of their
senses. We shall wait an explanation of this
business.

Regular files of Sydney and Australian Papers
have been received at the North and South
American Coffee-house to the 10th December,
but they are deprived of any striking interest by
the fact, that a few days ago one Paper bad been
received to the 10th of January. Two of the
leaders in the late insurrection had been shot.
Trade was very dull at Hobart Town, and rain
was much wanted at Sydney, in consequence of
which the crops had partially failed. A Pro-
vincial Bank has been established in the Colony,
under the title of the Bank of Newcastle. It
appears that Sydney was visited by the most
violent gust of wind ever remembered. The
town for some hours was wrapt in an
impenetrable cloud of dust. Chimnies were
tumbled down, doors and windows smashed,
vessels dragged from their anchors, still there
were but few accidents.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TwRLrE 0' CLocr.

Consols opened at the same price they left off at
yesterday, 88f for account. Although it is known
that the English and Russian Governments have
some to an agreement on the extent of the Block-
ade of the Dardeaelles, it has not had any effect on
the market; this friendly intercourse between the
above Powers, does away with all the former re-
ports of a war with Russia.

Accounts from Perpignan state that, on the ap-
proach of Count Espagne to Catoligna, the several
bands of Quinta and Ruffet left Mouga and retreated.
into France.

The Foreign market also remains inactive without
a bargain doing; prices nominal as yet, and the same
as yesterday.

TWO O'CLOCK.
We are extremely dull in the City, both for want
of intelligence and business. Consols have remained
during the whole morning at the opening price,
88i for the Account.
the Foreign Market is in the same predicament.
There has been a little doing in Spanish Bonds,
which have rather improved, although it is under-
stood that the Rentes Perpeluelle have fallen at Pa-
ris two or three per cent. In other Foreign Secu-
rities nothing doing.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
(THIS DAY.)

LONDON BRIDGE APPROACHES BILL.

The sudden determination of their Lordships to settle
the whole sUbject wiihnitt'clelay was made knbwn to the
Corporation a day or two ago, and this morning, at tea
o'clock, the Committee sat to consider the proposition of
their Lordships, that the necessary funds should be ad-
vanced by Parliament in consideration of the Corporation
contim;ing to pay the accustomed 11,5001. a-year to the
Orphan'sTund, and also in c'onskier4ion of the great ex-
pences incurred by the city of London in libilding the new
Post-office, Fleet-market, and other great improvements
affecting the community.
The Committee sat with closed doors, but we are in-
formed expressed the utmost satisfaction at the proposi-
tion of Gdiernment, and ufrew up a repifft expfessi” of the
high gratification which it was calculated to give, and re-
commending the Court to adopt the same immediately.
The Guildhall was in a bustle all the morning.
At twelve o'clock, the Court of Common Council as-
srmled for the purpose of taking the subject into
con-
sideration.

Sir C. H. T. HuNTrit w locum tenet's fur the LORD
MAYOR.

The doors of the Cou, t were closed against all but mem-
bers of tNt' -Court, as the proposition has not yet been rati-
fied. We uptlers4nd that s,eyeral oseryations were made
upon the publiiation of what took pace ay the !ast Court,
7on the subject, particularly of the attack made by a cerr
tain Noble Lord upon the Magistracy of the City. The
publication it was contended, was not calculated to benefit
it, and it had been noticed in the Lords Committee in a
manner which proved it was extremely unwelcome; on
the other hand it was contended, that if Members of Par-
iameot choose to attack Magistrates, who conscientiously
performed their duty without pay, they must expect re-
taliations. It was argued that this Court could not effect
the great question, and as a proof, the Government had
made a proposition which the citizens of London ought
to be thankful for.

,Some oppopition being made to the Report by Mr.
Thornhill, on the groond Shat Poveiatraen had in 60-
arrangement taken into the Corporation;
Alderman Noon and others denied this assertion, and
said the general feeling of the Court was in favour of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer's proposition.
The Report of the Committee was then agreed to with-
out a single disseOient much acalination,
The Court was left in discUssion on the motion relative
to admitting Jews to the freedom of the city.

The Lords of his Majesty's Alost Honourable
Privy Council held a meeting yesterday morning in the
Privy Council Chamher. Those present were the Lono
PitEsinrir of the COuNcir,; Lord WyNroin,' the'Junok
of the ADMIRALTY COURT, and the Right Hon. li. Eimor.
The InVing was for the purpose of hearing appeals from
the col'oniep. Tfte first PiMe ryas frorp Trinidad, " MAN-
NINGS V. WATMV.RSTONE." Mr. AnAli and Mr. HENitir
Were beard for the appellants, and
- Mr. BROUGHAM and
Mr. COLTMAN for the respondents : this appeal occupied
their Lordships for seine hours. The other causes set down
for bearing were those of " MurArcx v. MuLLlcic," ex
pars., from Bengal ; " FREYHADI V. CRAMER," from De-
merara; and" MAnryw tr. from Jersei. Shortly
ifore foin4chcii their poidshi s adjourned,

SMITHFIELD MARKET.

At this day's market, which was rather largely supplied
with Sheep, Lambs, and fat Calves, but moderately with
suckling Calves, fat Beasts, and Porkers, the trade was
throughout unusually dull, with coarse large Veal, at a
depression of from 6d. to 10d., and Lamb 4d.'per stone;
with Beef, Mutton, prime small Veal, and Pork, at barely
Monday's quotations.

CITY MARKETS.—(TWO O'CLOCK.)
PLANTATION SUGARS.—The demand this week has
been very limited, and the little business done has been
upon rather more favorable terms for the buyers; a large
public sale of Mauritius Sugar, however, which was adver-
tised for to-day, tended in a great measure to check the
purchases of both the Grocers and Refiners : the sale con-
sisted of 10,539 bags of the brown to fine bright yellow
grocery descriptions, and went off with more spirit than
was expected ; the low brown and good and fine yellow
qualities bringing full prices, but the middling sorts were
in many instances sold at lower rates, the sale upon the
whole went off very irregularly.
FOREIGN SUGARS.—A public sale of good and fine
strong white Havannahs on Tuesday went off briskly at
full prices, viz. 475. a 495. 6d. ; privately very few trans-
actions have taken place.
Rgrisizta Suoits.—The low and !ladling descrip
tions of goods continue to be tak en off very freely for
packing, at full prices, the Grocers also are purchasers of
the latter sorts; the market is indifferently supplied, and
goods ready for immediate delivery are difficult to be met
with. In Crashed there is very little doing, but there are
orders on hand for the Mediterranean at limited prices, say
Is. to Is.6d. under the present quotations.
COFFEE.—The demand at present is very languid, and
only part of the quantity brought forward by public sale
this week has been disposed of; in prices, however, so
alteration can be noticed ; good ordinary pale St. Domingo
was to-day bought in a 854.
Faum—There is very little doing at present, except in
Currants, as the present extreme low price has enabled the
exporters to execute their orders, several parcels having
been sold for shipping this week.
The Colonial Markets this morning are generally inactive.
Hoes..,--The accounts from the Plantations continue
very unfavourable, but as the !tines still grow, the market
for Hops is rather flat, and sales could not be made unless
at a reduced quotation. The duty is called 55,0001.
The stock of Hops is very great, and in the event of a
very had crpp there will be no scarcity. Speculation is
very languid.
Rem„—Fine Jamaicas are in a better demand. Other
qualities are still heavy. The stock is now 6,500 pun-
cheons, and 570 hogsheads greatfr than in the correspond-
ing week of last year.
TheSiti TRADE remains without animation, and in
nearly all descriptions of Raw Silk there is much less
doing in consequence of the near approach of the East
India Company's sale, at which a material alteration is
expect, din the prices. The quantity to be offered is very
large indeed, 4 fat' as ward's Fiyate trade Silks. Of
Compaq?, Bengal there are 2,400 bales declared. Ex-
portations of Turkey Silks for the Continent are continued.
Italian Silks are again 6d. per lb. lower.
The Garrott market is firm, and a pretty good demand
exists for Surats at full prices. The accounts from the
malpfacturing dilt7icts reateired hi-day 4-petition that busi-
ness in boiton goods was rather. imProving.
Otts.--The current prices of Oils are these :-.-Green-
land, 25/. lOs ; Sperm, 70/. to 72!. ; Pale Seal, 291 ;
Brown Ditto, 27/. ; Cod Oil, 26!. per tun; Linseed,

BALTIC Pliont4tE..'-`-The commercial letfers from St.
Petersburgh to the 6th instant, mention that some ships
had sailed for London. The stock of Tallow will there
be increased by their arrivals. Tallow at St. Petersburgh
was in demand at 98 rubles, and the Exchange on London
is quoted at 104. Here Tallow is firm at 375. pd.

Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr.
Illcos, the Coroner, and a highly respectable Jury, at the
(green Man, in Covent-garden, on the body of a young
lady named MARY ANNE HUGIJES, who was burnt to
death at No. 5, Henrietta-street. It appeared that the
dec,ar.sed wad '142 years oC age, and was the only daughter
of a widow lady, living upon her pi:operty. On Monday
afternoon she went into the kitchen to procure a light, in
order to seal a note which she had been writing, when it
is supposed that part of the brimstone fell upon her dress,
which was of white rooslin, ertd she was in a mcomnt
velowd in flames. She ran intO'the neit kitelieri scream-
ing,. and tile servants threi;;r Water ifferler, and a gentle-
man named ROBINSON, who was talking to his mother
in her carriage at the next door, came promptly to her
assistance, and extinguished the flames, but not until she
was dreadfully burnt, pieticulaely oa the legs arid aruiti,
The injuries were too extensive to admit of any hope of re-
covery, and she expired on Wednesday night. During
her short illness, she expressed no anxiety about herself,
lout spoke only of the loss which her mother would sustain,
and the affliction which she would suffer, as she was doat •
ingly fond of her., The Jury returned a verdict of "
Death.".
