Within the last hour there has been a good deal of business
doing, but the Market has not improved. One large purchase
(upwards of £300,000 Consols) has been made, upon account
of the Court of Chancery, but without producing any favour-
able effect. The Jews are purchasing largely this morning ; and
yesterday they purchased upwards of e 9,000,000, for the July

It is still our pleasing duty to record the rapid progress that the
work of charity is making throughout the kingdom, in behalf of
the starving poor of Ireland. In addition to the long list of new
subscriptions, which we this day insert (we ddeertitecceni), the
Corporation of the City of London, with a benevolence worthy
of its character, has voted a sum of 'bre Hundred Guineas in
aid of the charity. At Manchester a Meeting was held on Wed-
nesday, when upwards of X. 500 was subscribed in the room.—
At Cainbridge, more than £6OO has been subscribed. At Oy-
ford, a very liberal subscription has been raised, towards which
the University has given ,@aoo. At Raster, the subscription in
one day, amounted to .t. 150 ; and a sermon preached at Chelten-
ham, on Sunday last, by the Rev. C. Jeans, Rector, produced
5e327. At Worcester, a subscription bin progress,which is li-
berally supported. At Canterbury, a subscription has been
opened : and from every part of the country we hear either of
sums sultscribed or of Meetings convened. Even the city of
Dublin, which has shewn an indifference to the distress of the
estuary of which it is the capital. little creditable to its hums.
till, was to have a Meeting on Thursday, for the purpose of
ilywdst a sascriptfon. It is4ratifying to find that the British
Army takes an important lead in this work of benevolence.
From Albany Barracks, in the Isle of Wight, alum of £193 bas

volence which does them great honour. have consented, both
officers sad men, to Live up a day's pay for the relief of the suf-
ferers in Ireland. On Monday the Officers of the Royal Ma-
rines assembled at their barracks, Chatham, and subscribed each

one day's pay 'for the sone purpose. A corps of the East-India
Company's Artillery and Infantry, previous to embarking for.
India, subscribed .C3ll, which was es. ad each man ; and a Übe-
ral subscription is now making by the officers and men of Chat-
ham garrison. The 5d battalion of the Grenadkr Regiment of
Foot Guards, in Dublin, has subscribed .C 711; the 7th Hussars,
now in Dublin garrison, have also subscribed one day's pay each
for the suffering Irish, who, from the most recent accounts, are
in a state of increasing distress.

The French Papers of Wednesday bring little information re-
specting the :Airs of Russia and Turkey, but what they do con-
contain is of a warlike comple:don. An article from Hamburgh
states accounts had been received from the banks of the Pruth,
dated April 21, containing the Important intelligence that the se.
coed Russian army had received, for the second time, orders to
bold themselves in readiness to march ; the third order will lx
its destination.

A Russian vessel„the Leonidas, which left Constantinople
the 9th of April, brings intelligence, that at her departure large
reinforcements of irregular troops were arriving from different
parts of Asia. Great fermentation prevailed among the Mussel-
mans. The Austrian Ambassador had, it was said, quitted, to
proceed to Vienne. The European% both English and French,
looking to all, the c►ances of a long and terrible war, bad quitted
the city, and proceeded, for the most part, towards the frontlet.
of the Austrian provinces.
Accounts from Smyrna, to ths. loth inst. give a melancholy
picture of the dreadful scenes passing there. The Greeks might
be said to be besieged in their houses by the Asiatics, who fired
into the houses in order to compel them to come out. All those
who fell into the hands of the soldiers were assassinated; in fine,
murder, pillage, sad burning, were the order of the day, and the
Governor gave fide interruption to all these excesses. The
Pacha of &mama bad been repulsed at Verla, and was mdse.

the Greeks. Campuses= Zama was attacked on all dike
at Janina.
The Unive►sel Casette iLyens, of the loth instant, contains a
minute account of the disturbances which took place in that city
on the preceding day, springing from the violence of a contested
election, and the exasperation of party feelings at the defeat et
hi. de Commun. It appears that the mob who assembled
mixed seditious cries with cite watch-word of' party, and that it
was not until the of the Somme, the gendarmerie, and
other troops, bad arrived that the mob was dispersed. The ca-
valry drove the rioters under the arches of the theatre. The doors
of this building were forced open, and the bons immediately filled
with a motley crowd prepared to enjoy the entertainment at their
ease, but evidently Rule accustomed to such an elevated position.
—About nine erica the Asthesities ordered the body of the
Theatre to be cleared, but the grouped persons who had filled it
did not cease from their favourite cries till a late hour. Several
individuals who were found exciting the mob have been arrested,
k is said, and handed over to the )King's Attorney-General.
