It will be seen by our City article, that as improve.'
ment has taken place to-day in the Consol market.—
This improvement is ascribed, with what truth we
kirow not, to the failure of the nrgociations between
Ministers and the Bank, and to an offer on the part of
Mr. Born:cutup to assist Ministers to the amount they
required.

Another angry di,cussion took place last night in the
House of Lords upon that never-ending t 1 eme, the
composition of the present Cabinet, and the alleged
unfitness of Mr. CANNIN9 to have the chief su-
perintendence of the affairs of the country. Some of
the Noble Speakers who vi ere strongest in their gni-
madversiens, like certain Orators in less privileged
places, were very profuse of bard terms, iu the seeming
lack of strong argument.

The House of Commons suddenly adjourned last
night, after sitting about an hour, without any reason being assigned
for such adjournment. There were several notices of motions on
the paper : Mr. W. Hoarser s, respecting the Cape of Good Hope;
Mr. MACQUIN'S, about the law of settlement ; Lord Jona Hossaaa's,
on the cause of the incruase of crime In England, Btc. but after the
SreAceis had called their names several times without their an.
ewering, or any one answering for them, Mr. Heaares moved the
adjournment of the House, which adjourned accordingly. Name
of t►e Ministers were present.

We have received this morning the Algearei►ie Zeilu►►g
to the 4th inst. and the Nuremberg Correapondent to the
3d. The former merely contains an extract from the
Oriental Spectator of the 21st of Match, stating that the
Russian Ambassador at Constantinople had retired to
his dowry seat at Buj.kdere. It is broadly hinted

that this step was the effect of a disgust at tht
conduct of the Porte. In the offices of the other
European Embassies, the greatest activity is ,said to
have prevailed ; but though they received and dis
patched Expresses in rapid succession, yet this
unusual bustle did not move the Porte a peg horn
its purpose of withholding all concessions to the
Greeks. If the intelligence be correct, and the
source from which it is derived is unexceptionable, we
may expect to see Russia and the Porte again embroiled,
and the Russian army in Besserabia make a movement
in advance. However, the Tut ks will be the only suf.
ferers, by their own obstinacy, as it is clear they must
yield at last to the conjoint reclamation of the great
Powers; whilst the longer they hold back, the more
will be exacted from them id the en.i.

According to the Nuremberg Paper, Russia ha
lately shewn some indications, as if she meant to make
peace with Persia. Private letters from St. Peter burgh
are quoted in support of this opinion ; and, in furthe,
confirmation, it is said, that no mote is heard of move-
ments of troops in the interior of Russia, though the
Army of the Caucasus stood in need of being recruited-
' Another fact,.strongly indicative of the pacific intentions
of the Russian Ei4PgROR toward the Shah, is noticed in

uie of the Paris P4pers, which reached us last night.

It says, that General Yartstaxosr, Cons nander-in
Chief of the Russian Forces in Georgia. has been re-
called ; and AS he has the credit of having precipitated
his country into this war, the conclusion that Russia i_
anxious to put a stop to it, irresi.tibly obtrudes itself.
As lie is also an 015cer Of-distinguished talents, it is in•
(erred that his services would not be dispensed with, if

it was meant to continue the contest. The Rus-
sian Correspondent, of the Nuremberg Paper, see,
in the apploaching arrival in the Russian capital
of Sir C. &toot.. " whose obliging manners
in his former mission had gained fur him general
esteem and friendship," another potent argument in

favour of peace. It is added that Sir 01ARin would
be charged with a special mission relative to the Per-
sian war, and the affairs of America.

Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, his MAJESTY

CONSISTORY COURT—(Tins DA:).
BIAGI' b. SLIM, —JUDO/ dINT.

After a few preliminary observations far Dr Pitt.t.r.
mona on the part of Mri Bligh, an ; by Dr. Lidatua-
row,. on the part of:Caistain Blogh; the depositions s.f
Mos. Jemima Parker, of 9. Seytnaur place,, and Mrs.
Edward Bligh, the sister-in-law of Captain Bligh, sere
put in. Counsel were stopped by.S4r,CHAISTOPHZR
ROBINSON, who said it was not necessary to go through
the remaining depositions, for the ease had brio to he-
quently discussed before, and he felt hicriself called
on, by his regard for public decency, net to revert to
it more at present. He then proceeded to pronounce
judgment, and recapitulated the pribcipal facts in the
case, and commented en them. The parties' vthe mar-
ried in 1817, and lived together till 1822, when they
went to Italy, where an intimacy commciced be-
tween Mrs. Bligh and the Hon. Mr. Lsng Wellesley,
Which was fully provbd by Mrs. B igh and otlibr wit-
nesses. In consequence of the di covert' made by
Captain' Bligh of the criminal intercourse between his
wife and Mr. Wellesley; legal proco eJings were insti-
tuted in the Courts in this country, for the injury
which Captain Bligh . found he had su.taine. . The
Learned Judge then alluded to tbe otter circumstances
of the case, all of which, taken into sconsiderat on, 1. ft
no doubt en his mind, that the case had been satisfac.
torily substantiated by the evidence produced. The
counsel for Mrs. Bligh made no defence whatey r, and
he was bound to pronounce the sentence of the Court ;
which was, that Captain Bligh was entitled to rt e ordi-
nary tel of of divorce, against his wife for adultery with
Mr. Wellesley. . .

nouneed the panics divinced.
