THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHA NGE, Drc. 7.

- 'We bad a sood supply of W beat .this morning from bent
and Essex, in addition to a considerable quantity from the
above counties and Suffolk which remained over from last
week's arrivals; and having but few buyers, our sales were
very heavy at a decline of full 2s. per quarter from last Mon-
day's prices ; Barley is also 2s. per quarter lower, the supply
being large both of English and Foreign; the Oat Trade was
dull, and full Is. per quarter cheaper; Beans arc full 2s, per
quarter lower; and, owing to the increased arrivals from the
Mediterranean, White and Grey Pease are es. per quarter
cheaper,the supply of each being large and scarce any demand
for theist.

CHELTENFIAM TO BRIGHTON.

We are happy to find that arrangements have
been made to establish in tie Spring, a regular
and - ditect conveyance from Cheltenham to
Brighton, which has been so long an object o,f
solicitude to the inhabitants of both 'places, and
of the several towns through which the coaches
are to run, The route proposed 'Will gel' from
Cheltenham, through Cirencester, kirrant 2'ke,
Newbury, Basing Stoke, Alton, Petersfield;
%tint, Emsworth, Chichester, and Arundel, to
Brighton, leaving Worthing, Shoreham, and the
other places on this favourite part of the coast—
a short distance firm the main road between
'Arundel and Brighton.
This communication will he of the utmost im-
portance, not only to the trading and manufac-
turing, but likewise to the agricultural Interests
of 'the several places and districtS'throngh which
the coaches will pass ; it will unite, as it were,
many of the great Cattle and Corn Markets, and
as it is prtiprised that it should be a Cross Mart
for Letters, the facility of correspondence to the
intermediate Districts will he attended with great
convenience and advantage. The plan cannot
fail of success from the support ;it will receive
from the Country Gentlemen whose residences
are on the line of the road ; and Basingstoke be-
ing the CENTRE TOWN, and numerous coaches ar-
riving there daily, from all parts of the "%Vest of
England, Oxford, and other places, it will afford
to Travellers an easy access into Sussex and West_
Kent, what at present can only be approached by
LondOd, or Southampton and Portsmouth.

Through Alton and Basingstoke the coaches,
for Winchester, Southampton, Lymington, Poole,
&c. pass daily : and • through Basingstoke uther
coaches likewise pass daily to the lest mentioned
places, and to Salisbury, IVeymouth, and all
parts of Dorsetshire, Wiltshire, •Devonshire, and'
Cornwall : also the daily coach to and. from
Southampton to Oxford ; so that from all, these
Sources of 'employment there can be little doubt
of sUCCCS9,

Another route for part of the road from Chel-
tenham to Brighton has been pointed out, but
until come parts of it are widened and improved,
it cannot be recommended for stage-coaches,
namely; from Petersfield, through Alidhurst and
Petworth, to Brighton. The Earl of EGREMONT
has, with great liberality and public spirit, done
much towards improving this communication with
Brighton, and the road to that place from Mid,
hnrst is very good, hut from Mitiburst to Peters-
field it is in many places very narrow and bad,
though it may be made a goad toad at a very mo-
derate expense. • That Lord EGREMONTYS exam-.
pie may hn• followed. by the other
.great Land-
holders, is our sincere wish, and we hope, what-
ever may be our views of the subject, that the
present Peace will be of long duration, apd that
as Trade and Agriculture revive, the Puhlic At-,
tention will be given to the interior improvement
of the Country, by opening new channels of com-
munication, wherever they are wanted, and by
adopting such rational systems of Economy, as
will promote and increase the Commerce and Na-
vigation of the Etnpire.

Feia THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR,—Your various Correspondents on
the side of, and opposed to, Mr. BELLAIVIY and
his New TranSlatton of the Bible, seem to be tra-
velling out of the '' straight path." Is Mr. BEL.
LAMP a Christian ? If he be not, what signify his
Biblical or llebraical knowledge ; of what avail
are his acumen and his judgment ?
A report has ,been spread and gains ground
amongst the clerical world, that this scholar
&mins the divinity of his Saviour, denies' the
Lord who bought him ; on such a one, how can
we expect that the " spirit of truth" will rest ?
A Mahometan translation of our Bible would,
soften .the obnoxious passages ; a Jewish would
explain them away; a Sociuian would dare to alter
them, for Antichrist will if it can get rid of Christ
as a God. On this subject let us Have an explicit
answer, and then we may begin to think whe-
ther this translation be worth the notice, and
what notice it be worth, of a

CHRISTIAN.

COURT OE CHANCERY.—In consequence of the
continued indisposition of the LORD CHANCELLOR
the Court was shut this morning. His Lordship
will, however, transact all businesS that requires
to pass the Great Seal at his private residence;
all other of an urgent description will be disposed
of in his Honour the Vice-Chancellor's Court,
which was extremely crowded this morning.
Yesterday evening the inhabitants of Catherine-
street, Strand, were greatly alarmed by two men,
Happarently intoxicated, riding furiously up and
down that street on. horseback, to the imminent
danger of themselves and' passengers, which only
terminated in one of them being thrown from his
horse on 'the pavement, and so severely bruised,
as to render medical assistance necessary. Many
persons were attracted by the accident, and during
the confusion, the pickpockets and thieves who
are permitted to infest this street at all hours,
apparently without Molestation, were extremely
active in their attempts at robbery. The nume-
' rous houses of ill-fame with 'Which this neigh-
bourhood abounds, some of which, it is said, are
kept by persons who have been on " their travels,"
and by others who should be on theirs, causes
this placet.o be as it were the Fountain of vice. It
is much to be regretted that no steps arc taken
for the removal, or placing within the bound's of
decorum, those theptacles of vice and infamy';
and if the Police were to visit this spot, they
might be the means of relieving the public for a:
time of the depredations that are frequently com-
mitted.

NEXT TUESDAY WEEK, (the 15th instant), is
the day appointed by the Lords of the Treasury
to begin Drawing the State Lottety, and on
that day the first-drawn Prize will be entitled to
30,0001. Consols, in addition. Although this
Lottery consists of only 14,000 Tickets, the
Scheme contains FOUR Thirty Thousand Pound
Prizes !! ! Tickets and Shares are selling at
WEBB'S Offices, No, 9, Cornhill, and 17, Lud-
gate-street, where THREE 30,0001. Prizes were
sold in Shares, in the short space of Thirteen
Months.

111 R. IJUNT'S CHARGE OF ASSAULT.

[FURTHER PARTICULARS.]
Bow-STREET.—Yesterday Mr. LEE, the High
Constable of Westminster, was charged before
Sir NATHANIEL CONANT with committing an as-
sank upon Mr. Henry Hunt, on Saturday night
last, during the time he was addressing the
seniblage before the Hustings in Covent-garden.

Mr. Hunt, being sworn, stated as follows :—" My name is
Henry Hoot; I ieside at present at No. 8, Norfolk-street,
Strand ; I complain of this person (pointing to Mr. Lee) as-
saulting me on Saturday night last, while I was addressing
the people upon the Hustings."
Sir NATIIANIEL—" Were you upon the platform of the
Hustings where the Candidates generally stand, or before the
Hustings, itmongst the crowd ?"
Mr, Hunt—" I was on the railing at the front of the Hus-
tings, and which forms a part of the Hustings. I saw Mr.
Lee acting in the capacity of constable, with a silver staff
in his hand. Without any provocation on my part, while
I was speaking to the assemblage before me, he used most
abusive language, and challenged me to fight. The words
he used were, " Curse von, Twill fight you. not with this
(his constable's staff) but with these (holding- up his clench-
ed fists in a menacing attitude) ; I thought I should have you
at last." On the first day of election, last Thursday week, I
was also assaulted by him; he threatened to wring the nose off
my face."
Sir NATHANIEL—" Where ware you at that time ?"
Mr. Bunt--" I was upon the Hustings, not at the front,
and I beg leave to mention that particularly, because some
allusions have been made that I was nut upon the Hust-
ings at the time the assault was committed on Satur-
day. I,was at that time standing upon the same bench
where Sir Murray Maxwell has generally stood when he has
spoken."
Sir NATIIA NI EG---" There was some altercation at that time.
between you : how did it arise ?"

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Saturday last. These Journals, particularly the
Moniteur, give at great length the Election
Speeches from the London Papers, together with
all the parenthetical exclamations of the mob,
some of which, from the mode of translating
them, have a whimsical effect in their French
dress. The follotvitig are Extracts :
" PARIS, JUNE 27.—M. de Chateaubriand is
about to prosecute, before the English Tribunals,
the Editor of The Times, for calumny, in making
agaiOst him chat'ges of the grossest and most
odious nature, which were inserted in that Jour-
nal under the bead Private Correspondence.'
" His Majesty visited yesterday the Royal
House of Education, at St. Denis, for the daugh-
ters of the Chevaliers of the Legion of Honour,
and.afterwards returned to St. Cloud.
" We learn from the Isle of Bourbon that

a prosecution was proceeding there against an
English vessel, on the charge of having fraudu-
lently introduced 262 Slaves into the Colony.

" M. de la Ferr4, Intendant des Menus Plais
is at present at London, where he has had the-
honour of presenting to the Prince Regent, on
behalf of the King, a Portrait of his Majesty,
pdinied by M. Paulin Guerin.

DINNER OF SIR SAMUEL RONIILLY'S FRIENDS.

There was a Dinner Meeting yesterday at the
Crown and Anchor, among this C►►ndidates' sup-
porters, The only circumstance worth noticing
which attended %vas, that Sir IioBREIT ‘VILAoN was
One of the Speakers, and (hat he fully identified the
cayise of Sir SAmtrrit. ROMILLY with that of Sir
FRANCIS BURDETT, and thereby debased the
friends of the former by incorporating them with
the asscusinating Satellites of the latter !! !

KING'S TIIEATIIE.—We had not room yesterday
to Iltltice the performance of Saturday, when the
charrhing Opera Le [nazi di Figaro attracted a
numerous aadience, who were highly gratified.--
Signora Coital, who has manifested progressive
excellence ever since her first appearance on these
boards, acquitted herself admirably in the Coun-
tess, in acting as well as singing. Iler fine So-
prano, which is always so correctly in tone, 'de-
iighted the iimiileurs, and she was deservedly ap-
plauded by the audience. FoDort, in Susan, wqs„
as usual, playful and pleasing. Madame GINETTA,
the new dancer, appeared to melt advantage in a
new Divertisement, and the whole-of the per-
formance went off with eclat.

ITALIAN READINGS.---Among the public enter-
tainments, which the bustle incidental to the pe-
riod of a General Election prevented our noticing
last week, were the ITALIAN READINGS of Signor
13t,GNi, at the Argyll Rooms. We have hail se-
veral species of foreign anitisement, and portico-,
lady some i.xcellent French Readings, but, as far
as we can presume to jiidge, this Gentleman 'pos-
sesses pre-eminent merit. He selected the pas-
sages which he recited trout the best Italian au-
thors, and he gave them, according to the opi-
nion of the best-Critiis, not only with precision,
but in such an impreisive mariner as to shew that
his feelings were congenial with those of the re-
spective authors, and that ,he fully understood and
relished their several beauties. In short, his Re-
citations were admirable lessons to those who
study the Italian language, as well'as highly gra--
tifying to those who are well'acquainted with it.
At about half-past four o'clock • yesterday, Sir
F. BurtnivrT's Mob, about a thousand strong,
armed with bludgeons, &c, proceeded to Gerard.'
street, where they totally demolished the shop.;
window of the house where Sir M MAXWELL'S
Committee sits. The inhabitants of the house
were alarmed for their own safety. They were
obliged, for self-preservation, to take in the
[frijol) flag which was flying from an upper win-
dow of the house.' The -ruffians then proceeded
in triumph to the litingerford Coffee-home,
where they broke SUale panes a glass.

POLICE.

Mr. BENNET, in presenting the Rep-ortof the Police Com-
mittee, complained of the want of classification in the prisons
of the metropolis. The same evil extended to other places
of confinement. Houses of Industry and Correction were
Houses of Idleness and Vice. The average of the labour pet -
forthed by individuals in Cold Bath-fields did riot amount to
more than the third part of a farthing a day, and , for the
last seven vears the Magistrates for the County had not is-
sued a single regulation for • the management of that prison.
There was nOw a class of men formerly unknown to this
country, and which he could'only compare to the Largaroni
of Naples: They were found stretched on the grass in the
fields round this capital, and that. riot from want. of a disposi-
tion to work, but from want. of work. As to_
_the transpw ta-
lion of criminals, no one was aware what enorohlus sums it
cost the country Sincelßl6,Sto6 individuals had been trans-
ported to Botany Bay, 1916 of whom were for se, ell y,ais ;
and since 1793, the country ltd paid four millions sterling
for that object. One of the causes of the insufficiency of tl.e
Executive Police was, that the office of Constable wag gem--
rally filled b% deputy. He then complained of the regulation
which required that there should be a tap-r ,oin at every
place where porter was sold, and moved that the Repot be

vioted, which was agreed to after a f.lw words from General
Thorot _ _ _

Air. IV. smrm brought np some papers from the British

Mr. BENNET inquired whether any improvement had
been made in the mode of contracting for clothing 'con-
eicts ?

effected by h ivinc the clothes made atdublin, and sending
them eowt, to Cork. The saving thus obtained last year

GRANTS IN REVERSION.

The Earl GaosvEtqoa rose, in pursuance of no-
tice, to make his motion respecting the Grants
of Officcs in Reversion and Sinecures. His Lord-
ship repeated 'ready the sante argumen•s that he
has so often used upon this topic, and contended,
that what had been done by Ministers, in abolish-
ing various useless Offices, was not enough.
There were still several Sinecures, which it was ne-
cessary -there should be a determination expressed
that they ought to heabolished on the termination of
the existing interests ; and it was also expedient
that the House should declare its opinion, that
no Office should in future be granted in Revel-.
sion, in order to prevent Offices now efficient from
becoming Sinecures, or being filled by incompe-
tent persons. His Lordship concluded by mov-
ing Resolutions to this effect.

The motions were put, and negatived—after
which, the Huuse'adjourned till to-morrow (this
day.)
