STOCK EXCHANGE., TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Consols opened at 723 for the Account, but soon after the
arket became •ery heavy, and they were offered at 79j. The
business is very limited, and little is doing. Consols have also been
done at 79 for the first Transfer. It is reported that the Hebrews
got large bets depending, that Consols will not be done for the
Account at 79, in consequence of which the Beers are mancetrering
to `et them below the above price. Consols are now 'tn.

The returns of Mr. Alderman Tuoursow, for the city
of London, and of Mr. Dist for Leriminster, will, it is
said, be disputed, on account of their ineligibility,
by being Government Contractors. With respect
to the worthy Alderman, we de not know whether
or not he has any contract with Government at pre-
sent. Mr. BIM is, or was, certainly a contractor for
the present lottery; and on turning to Mr. BUT es wot b
on contested elections, we find the fallowing classes of
persons dt dared disqualified or ineligible as candidates
for a seat in Par.liament, namely,
" Contractor (during contract, directly or not) with Commis-
sioners of Treasury, Navy Office, Victualling Office, Muter Gene-
van or Beard of Ordnance, or others on account of the public
service. Contractor with Government; to furnish money to be re-
mitted abroad, or merchandise to be used in public service."

The disqualification of a Contractor to sit in Parlia-
ment was determiaed in 1790, when Mr. LISTER WAS
returned Member for Poole, in Dorsetshire, when the
losing Members attempted to eject him, on the ground
that some of his voters did ant possess the right rif election.
—A Committee, however, decided, that he was duly
elected, though his success was afterwards rendered
abortive, by the discovery that Mr. Lam had been a
contractor within the year preceding his election; and
that the taking his seat would be attended with a fine
of £5OO for every vote he gave in the House of Corn.
snorts. Mr. LISTER therefore vacated his seat, by ac-
cepting the Chiltern Hundreds.
Although the law is thus rigid against contractors,
yet if a contractor with Government gives a year's
notice of dissolving the contract, he is eligible. The
criestiOn is likely to come before P4rli4ntent, when it
will be detter mined.

Ilamburgh Papers to the 16th inst. reached us thi,
forenoon, but they do not contain any political intrlli-
gence whatever. The Hamburgh A,enibly of Citizens
(answering to the Common Hall of the City of London)
have made numerous regulations, but they are chiefly
of a local nature. lly one of them the present Tariff
.of Customs was prolonged with only one modi-
fication, viz. that consignments below the value of
800 masks ate to be exported duty free. The following
is an extract;

HAMBURGH, Jima is.
While.the builders of Paris are obliged to discharge
thousands of workmen, because their speculations have
'falleri into a state of stagnation, we are here hardly able
to ptocure as many workmen as are wanted for the
rally new buildings, both in the City and the environs.
The new theatre is advancing rapidly, so that the archi-
tect will probably receive the 5,000 marks which are
promised him if he has it ready by a certain time. If he
Las not, he will have, on the contrary, to pay an equal
slm as a fine•

I: is now again confidently asset ted, that Lord Coeu-
ittns has proceeded to Greece, though as to the amount
of force he is lik:ly to b.ove, and the means by which it
is to be collected, persons who pries: to be in the secret
ale. 4i no means agreed. Some assert, that he has
already some frigates 4nd steam-boats ; and others state
that Getter4l I,ALLWIAI.D. now in th.. United Stditc.,
has &topic fund) (or purchasing, tquippitig, and nat..

ning two frigates, which, with the General, and a host'
of fullnwers, afro to cruise before the end of summer.
--.lt is also said,. that Lord COcusta:tat has not em-
basked in- his expedition without having very large
funds placed as his own entire and.unfetrered disposal;
that no doubt is entertained as to his means of main-
taining the struggle, fur at least two seasons, without
further supplies than what he may fairly be supposed
to count upon from levying occasional contributions on
the coasts of the Turkish provinces..
One thing seems certain, that Lord COGIIRANI
would not proceed on so important an euterprize
without a force sufficient to achieve something worthy
of his naval talents and high courage ; and it is almo.t
equally certain, that if he has such a force he will
flutter the Turkish navies " like an eagle in a dove cote,"
and scatter destruction and dismay wherever he appears.
In vain will it be for the Pacha of EGYPT to assembles
new armies for the Morea, for he will either be unable
'to transp-It them thither, or have occasion for them
nearer home; and as to the Ottoman Porte, he will
probably be bearded in his own Seragliot; ,but all this
depends on the armament and resources Lutd Cccn-'
RANZ may possess.
