UNITED SERVICE JOURNALS

Of this entertaining Journal, from which we
shall give extracts in the course of the month,
we have merely space to say that it fully keeps
up its character for liveliness, variety, and inci-
dent.

The handsomest figure in this month's Number
is decidedly the " Chinese Yellow Azalia,"which
is enhanced in interest by its natural habits ren-
dering it fit for the open gardens of this country,
with a slight protection during very severe wea-
ther.-2. " Begonia Villosa," raised from Bra-
zilian seed, by Sir Charles Lemon, Bart., and
presented by him to the Horticultural Society,
where the figure was drawn. 3. A pretty " small
flowered Lupine," from the almost inexhaustible
stores of Mr. Douglas. It is desirable from its
blooming several weeks earlier than most of the
late additions to the species of annual lupines,
regarding the genus polygon= of which we
are given a good figure of. " Polygonum Inju-

During ie last month upwards of 70A. ehaldrone of
Coal were imported beyond the amount stated in the above
account as having been imported in the same month of
last year. The demand of several descriptions of Coal
has increased. As yet the great Coal-owners in the North
remain disunited against the public. It is looked to as
probable, that ere long, the rail-roa Is will bring a consi-
derable quantity of inland Coal into competition against
them, to keep them in check.

The .Allgemeine Zeitung of the 24th June
mentions the arrival of two ships at Odessa,
which had left Constantinople with released
Russian prisoners, whom the SULTAN had set
at liberty, as a mark of attention for the Em-
peror of RusslA's having given some Turkish
prisoners of state leave to return home. This
betokens a good feeling, which may shortly lead
to peace :•-••
ODESSA, JUNE B.—(From a letter.)—On the 6th of
this month•we had the pleasure to see an Austrian and a
Sardinian ship arrive in four days from Constantinople.
They had received firmans from the Porte to enter the
Black sea, for the purpose of bringing hither a number of
Russian prisoners, whom the Sultan had ordered to be set
free, in return for the generosity of his Majesty the Empe-
ror of Russia, who has set at liberty many Turkish prisoners
of State. Six officers, with their servants, and about 100
privates have arrived here.
Before those ships left Constantinople an account of the
occurrences near Pravadi on the 17th and 18th of last
month bad been made public. The Turkish fleet had then
returned from the Bosphorus, bringing with it the Raphael,
Russian frigate, which it capture d off Heraclea.
General Witt returned here the day before yesterday
from his visit to the head-quarters.
FRANKFORT, JUNE 20. [he Prussian Bonds are in great
demand here, whereas Austrian and other German funds have
fallen. The demand for the Prussian Bonds is undoubtedly
one cause of their keeping up, but besides this, the latest ac-
counts from Berlin are very favourable. They mention,
among other things, the late visit of his Majesty the Em-
peror of Russia, as an event which has had a very good
effect there ; for, say these accounts, as according to all
appearances no political objects will be connected with this
visit, it is inferred that the war in the East will remain
confined to the powers actually engaged in it.
ODESSA, JUNE 6.—An acount from Varna gives
some particulars of the attack made in the night
of the 17th of May on one of our posts between Diono
and Pravadi by the Grand Vizier, at the head of 23,000
men, in which the Turks were repulsed with great loss.
(The official bulletin of which affair was published some
time ago.) From an intercepted letter, written by the
Grand Vizier to Hussein Paella at Rudschuck, we learn
that the Grand Vizier himself was struck in this action on
the foot by a spent ball. The Grand Vizier says in this
letter, that he had been obliged to expose himself to danger
in order to give an example to his Pachas, who will not
imitate the Russians, whose officers are always seen to fight
at the head of their columns, and to die in case of need.
FROM THE MAINE, JUNE 2.—Messrs. Von Cramm
and Von Kalm, Deputies from the States of the Duchy of
Brunswick, have arrived at Frankfort; and as we hear have
already presented to the Diet the petition of the States for
the preservation of the Constitution introduced during the
minority of the reigning Duke. We soon afterwards
heard that the Duke consented to recognise not indeed this
Constitution, but the annual one, and particularly the pri-
vileges recognized in 1770. These give a great many
advantages to the owners of what are called noble estates,
which they give up fi r the general good, such as exemption
from taxes, patrimonial tribunals, &c. The Nobles,
it seems, will not have these privileges restored to
them, but desire to bear the same burdens as their fellow
countrymen, and to have deputies from the citizens and
peasantry in the assemblies.
BRUNSWICK, JUNE s.—The Estates of the Duchy have
laid before the German Diet their claim for the maintenance

of a new Constitution introduced during the minority of tLe
Duke, and contrary to his express will. The States ground
their petition on the 19th Article of the Act of the Confe-
deration, which, as they say, determines that a formal and
actual representation of the people, like that in England
and France, is to be introduced into all the German States.
This article has already been carried into effect in Bavaria,
Wurtemburg, Baden, and Hesse, and it may be expected that
the other German States will soon follow the example. In
conclusion, they say that it was because the old Constitu-
tion, •
though otherwise good, and with which the people
had been happy under their Dukes, was not founded on
popular representation, that it was changed during the
Duke's minority.
VIENNA, JUNE 19.—Metalliques, 98 9-16; Bank
Shares, 1,1154.

A private letter has reached town, from which
it is to be inferred that his Majesty's ship
Barham, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral
FLEEMING, the Commander-in-Chief on the
Jamaica station, had been lost about the 14th
May, on her passage from Trinidad to Jamaica.
The letter in question gives no particulars, but
alludes to the loss of this fine man-of-war as an
event which was commonly spoken of. We are
happy to add that, from the tenor of the letter, it
is to be presumed that the Admiral, officers, and
ship's company were saved.

Jamaica Papers have been received at the
Jamaica Coffee-house to the 3d of May, from
which we extract the following:—

(From the Kingston Chronicle of May 2.)
The Agent's letter, by the last packet, states that Sir
George Murray had assured him, on a recent interview,
at the Colonial Office, that immediately after the great
question (Catholic) was disposed of, Government would
give their particular attention to colonial affairs, and that
they would come to no decision on the difference exist-
ing between the Mother Country and this island without
attentively listening to what he (Mr. Hibbert) had to ad-
vance in our favour. There are other parts of the Agent's
letter which we do not feel at liberty to make public.
The Jamaica Courant of the above date states, that
the greatest joy prevails in Colombia on the restoration of
peace, and the great advantages that must naturally follow
cannot fail to secure the energies of a sound and wise Go-
vernment, when established on the basis of a liberal and
extensive commercial intercourse with the world.

We have been anxiously expecting for some
time past a Meeting of the Directors and Pro-
prietors of the Thames Tunnel, in the hope
that at such Meeting some plan would be adopted
and some means devised for carrying into com-
plete execution this magnificent fragment. With
these expectations, we regret to be compelled to
add that the Meeting of yesterday has disap-
pointed us. When we say disappointed, we do
not mean to state that we altogether despair
of seeing the Thames Tunnel completed iu a
manner worthy of a wealthy:and enterprising na-
tion, but simply that the day of such comple-
tion is not so near at hand as we had
fondly hoped and desired. The proceed-
ings of yesterday's Meeting were characterised
by a feeling of distrust_and timidity. There
was, it was too evident, a want of that buoyant
sanguine enthusiasm, without which no great
national work was ever yet, or ever will be, car-
ried on with success. The Directors seemed
cowed—subdued—panic-stricken. The sensi-
bilities of their pockets appeared to have received
grievous affront at the hands of poor Mr.
BRUNELL—a feeling which made itself but
too plainly shown in their indirect preference
of Mr. VIGNOLES. Now without meaning for
an instant to impugn the good_sense of the
Directors, we would just venture respectfully to
remind them, that the man who has already
amply proved his efficiency for the conduct of
the Thames Tunnel, and is now experienced in
the task, is far more likely to bring it to a
satisfactory issue than he whose abilities
are yet to be tried, and whose knowledge
must consequently be theoretical. Mr. BRUNELL,
despite the difficulties of his situation, has al-
ready rendered the Tunnel the wonder and the
admiration of all the numerous thousands who
have visited it ; he therefore is, in our view of
the case, the man most qualified to bring it to a
successful termination. Mr. BRUNELL, how-
ever it is urged against him, has exceeded the
proper and fitting expenses ; but surely this, in a
work of such novelty, originality, and import-
ance, is a defect that may be pardoned !

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK.

We have no arrivals this morning, not even a
ship letter ; the merchants have been very anxious
in regard to the arrival of the North Star from
the Brazils, which is supposed to have sailed eight
or nine days later than the last accounts, but up to
the present hour no letters or papers have been re-
ceived, nor has any of the information she brings
transpired. A correspondence has taken place be-
tween the Minister and the Chamber of Commerce
at Rotten, on the subject of the Agents which his
Excellency wished to send to England to obtain in-
formation on the state of the manufactures of that
country. The Chamber of Commerce did not agree
with the opinion of the Minister, in consequence of
which they received a letter from his Excellency in
very harsh terms, stating that the introduction of
machinery only tended to the profit of the Agents.
Consols opened this morning at the same price
they left off at yesterday, 88/ for the account,
since which they have been done at 88/, sellers; no
business doing as yet.

TWO O'CLOCK.

Consols have continued the whole of the morn-
ing at 884 for the Account, alternately buyers
arid sellers, with little or nothing doing tip to the
present time.
We cannot obtain any information by the arrival
of the North Star, from the Brazils, which causes
great perplexity to the Brazil merchants, as they
are led to believe that some letters must have been
forwarded by her from their correspondents.
Accounts from Colombia state, that General
Urdineta has addressed a Circular to the Chiefs of
the districts, stating that from the great loss which
Government has sustained in vessels built in fo-
reign countries, the Government has desired that
no vessel of war shall in future be contracted for
in any foreign country.
