ON E O'CLOCK.

Consols, which were in the earlier part of the morning at 781 ;
for the Account, have since been done at 78; and the market
has become very heavy. In the absence of political information,
varioba.causes have Leen assigned for this decline—first, that the
Bulls are realizing st large amount of Money Stock brought to
Market--secontliy, the report of a failure in Mark-lane—and lastly,
that the accounts received this morning fram Manchester are rather
of a gloomy description, stating that the distress increases, bet they
do not mention of any disturbances having ta►en place.

Private letters floor S:. Petersburgh state that little,
expectation is entertained there • ERA' the o;ti*rnan
Porte will accede to the demands of Russia; indeed, it
is said, when M. MINTIACKT presented the ultimstums:
of his Government, it was treated with•some degr e of
derision by the Turkish Mivister, who, deceived by the
forbearance of the late Emi.eror, probably calculated.
• n *till procrastinating the fulfilment of the ••Tleales,
insisted on by Russia. It appears that the 'Emperor
ALEXANDER had determined on bringing thes.nepecia-
tions with Turkey to a speedy issue, and that the Em-
peror NICHOLAS is only pursuing the policy previously
resolved on. The change in the Russian Ministrywas
very confi.lently talked of at Sr. l'eter*burgh, and the
Appointment of Counts CAPO DISTRIA and SrnoooNoix
to important dfices was considered as a sure presage
i.f the favourable disposition if the C,:urt of Russia

towards the Greeks. (I,..neral BaNICKVDORFV, who is
brother•ip law to Count Lievax, the Russian Ambas-
sador at the British Court, and who is a very distin-
gui►hed officer, will, it is said, be appointed Minister
War.

•
It appetri by accounts from Vienna, that Austria
begins seriously to apprehend that the negotiations
between Russia and Turkey will net be amicably
,ditisted, and Prince Met-rumen is extremely active,
not only in using his good office; with the Cron 01
ussi4, but in urgent representations to other Powers
'o interfere, and prevent the peace of Europe horn
'zing disturbed.

This forenoon we received the St. Petersburgh'
Jourrial of the 25th ulr. An article from Odessa,
nf the 11 th ult. states the road *as. Clvered with ships
from Constantinople. Count Wonouzore, Governor-
General of the proviii:e: of N:w Itusria and Bessarabia,
had arrived at St. Peter burgh.

German Papers to the 6th of May reached us this
forenoon, but there is no news whatever front Greece in
the Austrian Observer of 29:h April, in the NurembuT
Correspondent of the 4th, or the Augsburgh and Frank-
fort Journals of the sth May.
The Adgemeine Zoitang of the 5:11 instant contains a
letter from a merchant at Pesth, contradiceng the re-
' port that two Greeks of the name of SISAISTIA NI, who
resided some time at Rome, had been murdered by the
Turks. The two brothers, it appears, were Armerlians,
and they had returned to Constantinople in safety.
Letters from Prevesa, of the 19th of April, state that
:thaws arrived before Missolongldon the lttla ult. that FAIVIIS and
Gobs*, had carried the Tarkibh entrenchments, and that the Greek
fleet had captured thirty Turkish ships laden with provisions, on
their way to relieve the army of !misuse Mesta.
A letter received this s;7ting at she Noith and

The strength of the Landed Interest has now been
pretty fairly tried in both Houses of Parliament, and we rejoice
that it is not so formidable as was expected. It must, however, be
remarked, that the measures proposed by Ministers are so temperate,
that we wonder bow they could.have provoked the opposition they
have encountered ; and that, bad they been rejected, the station
might despair of any retention in the Corn Laws, almost under
any circumstance*, unless indeed Ministers took upon themselves

a reePonsibilitY, Sind incurred the hattartof obtaining an to-t
iity from a Parliament not the moat charitably disposed to-
wards them on this subject.
Last night, In the House of Lords, the Earl of Matuasauatr. In a
temperate and candid speech. opposed the measures' of Ministers
on the subject of the Bonded Corn, and concluded with moving the
folitt*ing Uesolution t--14 That the House, although sincerely anx.
limos to contribute to the fullest extent of its power to the relief of
the suffeting classes, thought it not expedient to pass any measures
fur the alteration or suspension ut the existing system of the Corn
toers, without a previous inquiry Into the alleged necessity fur such
an alteration or suspension, and into the effect which they might
produce on the relative interests of the Growers and Consumers of
British Corn.:'

Earl BATHURST opposed the motion, as did the girls of
Poor., Aare/mot, and WISTMOZELAND. The Earl of I.nrearrour. in
a very able speech, clearly chewed the necessity of Ministers being
armed with the power to allow an importation of foreign grain in
case of necessity. Earl BATHURST moved the adjournment of the.
House. and on the question beilig put, the motion of the Earl of
MALMRSIURT was negatived by the immense majority of 146 to 67.

In the House of Commons, the second reeding of the Corn Im-
portation Bill, was carried by a majority of 189 to 65.

Yest IdAya.Meeting of the Devon Haytor Granite
and Mining Company. was held at the London Coffee-house.—
Sir F. AOAR it the Chair; when •the Report of the Directors was
read.. It represented that the :vanity at I layter was of a very su-
perior gpaality,, and that the quarries were situate 13 miles from
Exeter, and 12 from Teignmouth. They had supplied granite for
the new Loudon-bridge, for that part of. the Custom-house which
was to be rebuilt, for the Church and Hospital at Sheerness, and the
West India Docks. The money subscribed on Shares was 13,21131.;
from this the expenditure kit a .balance of 7461. and they would
want an advance of 4/. upon each Share. The proposed capital was
to by reduced from 200,009/. to 60,0001. with which, it was be-
lieved. they could. carry on business to advantage. After some
Aiscuision, the Report WAS agreed tu, and a Committee appointed
to investigate the account,.
By Ktpers which have been ordered by the House of
Lords to be printed, we see the great fluctuations to which the price
of corn has, at various times, been subject. Accounts of the average
prices.of wheat, per statute quarter, in each year, from 1670 to the
present time, have been furnished, partly by Mr. Irving, the In-
spector General of Customs, arid Partly by Mr. Jacob. the Receiver
of Corn Returns: and the former Gentleman has also given an
account of the quantity of every sort of grain, four, and meal, ex-
ported and imported in each year, from 1697 to 1625. The average
price of wheat. for the last four months, has been 5Ss. 6d. per
quarter. So long ago as 1674, the price was 61s. Old. The lowest
price given is that of 1743 and 1744, in bith which years it was
221. 02d. and the highest is that of 1612, when it was Ills. Id.
The very low price was preceded, only three years before, by a
price considerably mere than double; and the say high price was
followed, three years after, by a price little more than half.
COURT Or CHANCRRY, MAY 11.--.EDENROROUOH V.
ins Bistior or LONDON : Ilia LORDSHIP remarked upon the difficulty
in which be was placed in respect of this case, which has of late
occupied so much of the time of the Court. With regard to the
election of a Minister by ballot, though he entertained the strongest
doubts of it, legality, yet he could not decide that it was illegal
until one other most important point was proved, which might put
that question out of consideration : and this was, whether the
trustees who were to present to the living the person elected had,
in any manner, bolted themselves to present the person so elected by
ballet ? be felt asserious difficulty in enforcing the execution of a
public duty, where be, sitting in a Court of Equity, had no means
of ascertaining whether the election to that public duty had been a
valid election or not. In the case of a ballet there was no possi-
bility of invntigating the votes, and that was sufficient to make him
doubt whether it was a legal election within the meaning of the
trust.--The Court adjourned to the 234 instant.
OLD BAILItT, MAY 11.—Joseph Taylor, aged 31,
was indicted for stealing four horses, the property of Joseph Bat-
ten. The home in question were stolen from the prosecutor's
grounds in Hertfordshire in March, 1823. They were worth 1201.
On the evening of the sth of March, the prisoner and another man
arrived at Hitchin by a stage coach ; they had a basket with them,
madam contents rattled like iron. They went to the house of a
Mr. Clarke, e publican, where they remained about an hcur and
they filet proceeded towards the prosecutor's house, the prisoner
carrying the basket. The next morning the horses were missed,
and the prosecutor's stable door, which bad been broken open, was
propped up with some pieces of iron. The prisoner and his com-
panion then took the horses to the King's Head, in the Kingsland
road, where they were found by an officer who had been dispatched
in search of them! The Jury found the prisoner Guilty—Death.
The prisoner's companion, Harpur, was executed with Probate!
Bow Sraxae.--.Echrard Mill, a working goldsmith, residing In
Cold Bath square, who has hitherto maintained a very good cha-
racter, was placed at the bar with Jane Chapel, a prostitute, on the
following charge—Mr. Freeman deposed, that *a Saturday night
he accompanied the fetitale prisoner to a house in Wellington street,
Ihury lane, when she expressed a wish for some porter, and he
had recourse to an inner pocket. in which he had cask and notes to
the amount of 701. and advanced the necessary silver. His compa-
nion almost immediately quitted the house abruptly, which excited
the suspicions of the landlady ; she inquired if he had lest anything,
and on examining the pocket alluded to, he found the whole of its
• contents-bad beet subtracted. Application was made at this office
on Monday, and on Tuesday, Herring, the officer, apprehended
Chapel, in Hill's house,- whither she had previously conveyed a
quantity of furniture, apparently newly purchased; some demur
was made by Mlle° ue-officers searching his house, but when the
goods were roved, he stated that a son of his, who bad for some
' time followed wild courses, bad introduced the female prisoner to
him ea Monday evening as his intended wife, that he understood
she was entitled to some property, and that the goods which had
been sent by her to his house were part of the provision made for
housekeeping. In examining a bureau, a 51. }lank-note was found,
' which the prosecutor swore to being his property.-0a the part of
Hill, Mr. Harmer contended that there was nothing to show a
. guilty knowledge. The Magistrate, however, said, that he had
strong doubts on the subject, and ordered both the Priseitesslo be
' remanded till this day.
