*sighs's.
James Wilkinson, who was convicted on Thur►day
of horse stealing, and Who, from the evidence, appeared
to be a practiied dealer in stolen horses, was brought
rup to receive sentence at the iising of the Court.
' Mr. Justice BAYLIT tnld• him that his case was a
most aggravated one, as he could not plead that he had
been driven to these dishonest courses of life by want;
and the only reason that appeared for his depredati•.ns
was his own wanton and dishonest intentions. Hi-
Lordship then passed upon kim the sentence of Drath,
giving him no hopes of any respite.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 14327.
'STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Everything in the City remains in the same predicament as for
these ten days past, a total stagnation in the Consul market, and a
very scanty attendance of brokers and jobber.. The uncertainty
of the turn of affairs at Constantinople, causes a heavy weight on
the market; and it is generally eapected, that should a war take
place with that Power, a Russian Loan will be wanted. There is
also another circumstance, the Hebrews, who are generally the
foremost in speculation, have, within these few days, almost de-
serted the Cbasol market, acting with more caution, anti waiting
the issue of the pending events, therefore the whole of the business
in the house at present is in the hands of the jabbers: Consols,
which left off yesterday at 87i for the Account, opened this morn-
ing at the same price buyers; and for Money 871 sellers.
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.
Since twelve o'clock, Consols reached 871 I for the Account ; but
this price did not maintain its ground, and they again receded to
8711, and 871 buyers for Money, at which price they now remain
steady, with scarcely a bargain doing.

Hamburgh Papers to the Sth inst. reached us this
morning. Intelligence from St. Petersburgh, dated the
25th ult. says that the Euraaon had written with his
own band a letter to Gen. Baaxaanosure, expressing his

satisfaction at the victory obtained by that Officer OM
a numerous body of Persian cavalry, under Komi
KHAN, between the villages of Santi and Scholy.
we believe, is the same affair mentioned iu recent letters
'from the Turkish capital, where it is described as it
signal triumph over the Russians. The Turks are cu.,
presented as intoxicated with joy at the discomfiture sus-
tained by their natural rivals, and some of our contem-
poraries have participated in their delusion, boasting, at
the same time, of the accuracy and priority of their intel-
ligence. We regret the necessity we are under of dissipat-
ing the soft illusion, and overturning their claim to supe-
rior information. It is abundantly clear that the Persians
are unable-to cope M arms with theßussianannd that they
acted, with their characteristic levity, in provoking this
contest. In saying this, we are convinced that this war
will GM add much either to the strength or reputation
of Russia ; for it is carried on at too great a distaace
from her resources, and in too difficult and unfruitful
a country, to be conducted on a large and brilliant
scale of operations. Besides, any acquisition at that
remote point would be objectionable both in a mi-
litary and political sense, as the trouble and ex-
pense of guarding it would far outweigh any advan-
tages it could otherwise present, besides demoralising
the army, that should be stationed there fur its defence.
An article under the bead Of Weimar announces the
unexpected arrival of the liinrof BAVAIXIA on the 27th
ult. in that little capital-1-the modern Athens of the
Germans. He travelled, according to custom, with very
few attendants, and having the next morning visited
the Grand Duke, and inspected the pictures by K ea-
NACH in the principal Church, and some of the public
establishments, he proceded, in company with the Grand
Duke and the hereditary Grand Duke, to the house of
the venerable GoLTur, the Dean of the German literati,
and certainly the most popular of all their writers. It
happened to be the birth-day of the great .poet, and they
found him surrounded by a great number of persons,
who came thither like themselves, to congratulate him
on his birth-day. The KING. after offering his congra•
tulations, presented to GOLTH6 the Grand Cross of Civil
Merit of the Bavarian Crown, the only Order esta-
blished in Europe for the express purpose of rewarding
civil services. It is tine the Order of the Bath (and,
we believe, the Guelphic Order) by an extension o:
,he rules of the former, under the auspices of our preser.t
nl;ghtened and patriotic Sovereign, has some of itt
decorations appropriated ta the reward of civil merit:
but this is an exception, and not a rule ; and it is
matter of regret, that in a country, preeminent in arts,
science, and useful inventions, and in a reign so distin-
guished in every respect, there is not some Order like,

that we are speaking of. Oa presenting the Grand
Cross, tl e KING expressed I hope that there might be
still room on the breast of the Poet, who, if *a ate not
mistaken, has passed his ninetieth year, for this mask
of his r,teens.

The grand Autumnal• Reviews have commenced in
PrUssia. On the 25th of last month, 21. battilions bf
the line, and the land fehr of the 3d Corps, c'mmanded
by Prince VsTnctaxt, the King's son, went ir.t t camp at
Feltow ; and on the 51st, the seven Cavalry, Regiments
1 the line, and the landwehr of that corps, as well as
the third brigade of atti:lery—the whole constituting
the usual garrisons of Berlin, Potsdam, Sec.—also ar-
rived in the cagy, which the King visited the same
day. Oct the 2.1 his Illajrsty. with the Princes and
Princesses of the Royal Family, attended Divine Service
in the tamp. Many Generals, Officers, and persons of
distinction, had already arrived to attend the Reviews.

The accounts this morning from Barcelona, which
are of the 29th ult. state that the rebels had entered
Manresa•on the 27th, where they surprised the Gower.
nor and Lieut.-Colonel of the 2d regiment of the line,
and threatened ty, shoot them if they m Ade the slightest
resistance. TYLCy also disarmed the garrison. consisting
of 400 men, and, together with their arms, carried off
14,000 dollars. which they found in the public chest.
Having performed these feats, they arrested MIRALDA,
• rich cloth manufacturer, from whom they exacted
forty thousand duros, as a ransom. Three other rich
individuals were also forced to contribute largely.—.
It was CARAOAL who directed this successful and
lucrative operation.--The same accounts mention as a
report that another place (Igualada) had fallen in a si-
milar manner into the hands of the rebels, who appear
to act with too much skill and method, to be considered
as a mere rabble. Indeed the whole insurrection is a
most mysterious affair ; and its commencement and ra-
pid developement, contemporaneous as the former is
with the establishment of the censorship in a neighbour•
ing country, look very much like a work of foreign in-
trigue. At the same time the simultaneous plot, that
has been hatched in Portugal, against the new institu-
tions, shews that the ramifications are as extensive as
the object is notorious, which is the establishment of a

.
single influence and an uniform system of rule in the
whole Peninsula.

There are also accounts this morning from Madrid,
of the same date as the former, by which we learn that
the Council of State has completed its laboarr with re-
spect to the Budget. The receipts of the year 1828
are estimated at 400 millions of reals, and the expendi.
Lure at 427 millions, leaving a deficit of 27 millions, to
be made up as chance shall direct.

Letters, received this morning from Frankfort of the
Slst ult. supply us with another version of the pre-
tended defeat, sustained by the Russian arms in the
neighbourhood of Erivan. It says that it was only a
part of the cavalry which had been surprised by the
Persians as it was foraging, and obliged to retreat after
experiencing some loss. The neat version will place
the affair in its true light.
Extracts from the Paris Papers which arrived last
night will be found in a preceding column. They are
chiefly occupied with the interchanges of love, which
passed between the King of FRANCE and his loyal sub-
jects, on his way to the camp, at St. Omer. They are
the more edifying on account of the fidelity with which
the sentiments of the French people were interpreted by
the independent body of public functionaries, who, in
virtue of their offices, represented them on this occasion.
Mr. HUsaissou came to town yesterday morning.
from the seat of Karl Cowrie, at Pensanger, near Hertford. The

present among the visitors, and was an object of much cariosity.
Mr. WILBERTORCR, after having spent a few days

At the close of the Poll, for Mayor of Dover, on
Saturday, the numbers were—For John Shipden, Iraq 617 ; Rebt.

Mr. Shipden of course was declared duly elected.
The mushroom has had a whimsical destiny ; having
been praised and abused with equal injustice ; Nero calling it " the

" the assassin and regicide vegetable."
Among a list of penalties for the regulation of Queen

A lad, on delivering his milk a fesa mornings ago,

COLOSSAL IVOLIS —ln the very deep and narrow
'allies which intersect a branch of the Black Mountalps in South
Wales, a very singular spectacle may be witnessed in the early
spring months During winter, the frosts, which are exceedingly
severe in those elevated regions, produce vast Icicles on the jagged
and beetling rocks which overhang the Tallies. Sometimes they are
as large in diameter as the trunk of a tree, and have the appearance
nflong inverted obelisks. Detached from the rocks by the sus,
warmth, these Icy columns are dashed down. In cent thousand glit.
tering fragments along the cliffs, and have then the appearance of
huge pillars of diamond hurled from some fairy battlements. It is
delightful to gaze from a distance at these thundering masses, but it
would be death to stand within reach-of the enormous splinters the
Ay around on all sides as they fall—laindos Emig Merino.
