At an carly hour yesterday morning, his Royal Highness the Duke of York arrived at his residence in Stable-yard, St. James's, frorn Ncwmarket. Yesterday afternoon, at two 'clock, the Cabinet Minis- ters assembled at the Foreign-office, Downing-street, among whom were the Duke of Wellington, the Earls of Liverpool, Hiarrowby, Westmorland, and Bathurst, Mr. Secretary Canning, Mr. Secretary Peel, the Chancellor of the .Exelequer, Viscounts Melville and Sidmotith, and Mr. Wynn. The (Cabinet Mlinisters sat in deliberation above three hours and a half. The failure of Mr. Till, a stock-broker of high credit and very extensive connexions, was anndunced yesterday on the Foreign Stock Exchange. The cause is said to have been the desertion of a principal, in whose behalf he had undertakeni some extensive speculations. Papers from Tobago to the 4th of June were received yesterday. The provisions of the act of Parliament by which the trade in slaves is rmade a capital felony, had been made public by a proclamation from the Goveriior. The conltents of the papers generally are wholly,uulnmortant. A proceeding took place in the Lord Mayor's Cotirt yes- teiday which excited considerable interest in the city. This was an application for a writ of attachment against property of the Colombian Government in this country to the amount of 378,0001. The writ was granted as mattur of course, no investigation taking place in the first iustance into the tmerits of the claim. The attachment is laid upon certain bills of axchange stated to 'be accepted by Mr. M Aendez as agent to the 'Venezuelian Goverinment, which province is now incorporated withi the Republic of Colom- bia, drawn by a person of the name of Grant, and which a person of the name of Edwards, who has lately been dliseharged unader the Insolvent Act; claims as endorsee. We understand the attachment in point of law is a mere nul- lity, inasmuchl as no proceedings can be carriedl on in our courts except against particular individluals, upon express contracts. 'I'hat point, however, will probably undergo fur- thter tiscetssioni. At present, nothing has occurred but the application for the attachmnent. As regardls the Lord Mayor's Court, no similar case has, we believe, been decit- ed on. An attachment was laid against the Spanish Go- vernment, relative to the proceeds of the last loan itegotiat- ed in this country, but it was never brought before the Court. An attachment which was laid against General Sani Martin, as protector of the Government of Peru, for an alleged seizure of English ships by that Government, was dismissed, we believe, on the ground that the case in- volvesl no personal responsibility on the part oftthe General. PORTSMOUTH, July 14.-It has been very squally the w hole day, with heavy thunder storms. An Indiaman is reported to be on shore on the l'uiler Bank, supposed to be thle Ef liza, from Bengal.

HONDURAS, May 17.-" 'There have recentlybeen some piraciea on and near this coast, on the trade of the settlenient, but I have now the pleasure of intbtming you that the vessel which comnmittcd them lius recently been wrecked at Black River(Poyais), on the Mosquito Shore, to which place they were retiring ; and that the crew, ten in numnber, have been secured by the Mlosquito In- tians.

Within these few days there was a great fall of snow in the environs of Urbino. Here we have vecy frequent rains, ihich have already done muchl injuty to the hay. A letter from Benevento of the 13th of June, statce that the police, having long watched the motions oeta band of fouir robbers,the chief of whom had already been condemned to death in the king(lomn of Naples, succeeded, on the 6th of this montli, in surprising tiem in a wood. They tought desperately for thrce hours; tihe chief and another were killed, another was mortally vwounjde( and made prisoner; the fourth was likewise woundal, but escaped by favour of the nightd Letters from Naples, of the 19th of June, say that his Majesty has 'nominated a Council ( Conrsula) composed of 24, of whom 16 are Neapolitans, and 8 Sicilians: there are several Bishops among the number. The negotiation for ihe loan of 1h0,0001. for the removal of Fleet..market fro its present site, was closed on Wednesday. Alderman Sir Charles Flowver has taken it.

Sadler, tbr dainages lie alleget to have sustained, in consequence of the tailing across the street precluding him from all access to his house on the day that gentleman ascended in his balloon from lieriot-greet. The darnages were laid tt 21. A letter was read mn Conrt fromz one of tie entlemen who collected the toney in that quarter, stating as a t.cc e was ready to prove, that the spirit-dealer had, through the whole course of the day, except, perhaps, for a fiew minutes, when the shameful putsh took place at the barrier, free ingress and egress into his house, both for hinimelf and fliends. It appeared, besides, that he aed hiis family had been admitted to the Castlehil without being charged the smnall sum which every one, before the barrier was forced, had so cheerfully paid.
