In the latest paper, the Gaceta de Colombia, there is a decree of the Executive, for thle encouragcment oF eutication in the cities of Ocaana and Vallc-Dupar, by which 10,000 dollars are appropriated to the former, andl 9,O0O to the latter, for the support of their respective pri- mnary sclools on the Lancasterian plain, out of the revenues of the convents suppressed in the said cities.

The Gazette of Saturday announices a number of trans- fers and( promotions amnong thie British functionaries at Fo- reig1. Courts. The last on the list is that wlich seems cal- culated to afford liberal-minded persons the most entire sa- tisfactioii-we mneai the appointmenet of LordI Eis xa as Envoy Extraordinary to W'urternberg. This nobleman being of opposition blood, and not redeemed by extensive conne-:ion, Parlianmentary influenice, or abunlant wealth- circumstances which are supposed to act withI more or less force in determining the favours of Ministcrs,-Mr. CAN- NING'S mnotives for thi nomination of Lor(i ERSKINE can- not well be thoughit otherwise thani kinid and disinterested and1 as such we hold it but fair to draw public attention to the fact. Passing to the other extrernity of the diploma- tic register, we findi Sir WVN. A'Coumtr promoted froin be- ir)g Envoy Mxtraordinary at Madrid, to be Ambassadlor at Lisbon. Now, in ordinary circumstances, and in re- lation te other Courts, the missiotn of Sir Wxx.t.t AM A'Couar might possibly fill us with alarn. Ile has somehowv contrived it, that all the world connlect hin as much as they (lid Lordl Lo N'DO SE rav with tbe counsels, 'he plots, aod iniquitius of the I-loly Allianlce. He haI the repiitation of acting withi skill and effect equal to that of the whole Austrian armly against the indepeni- lence of Naples ; he was in at the leath of Spanish li- berty. Wherever despotism was to be resuscitated-wherever liberty was compelled to breathe her last, andl her funtral rites were to be performed-there thte ill-omened bird was foundperching. It is not, thieni, without some show of apology that people suspect what is vulgarly calicd a black job" where this undertaker nsakes hiis unwelcomn, visit. TIhe prtk--nt scene of action, howvever, whicil has beQn marksd out for Sir W. AConutRT, relieves Us froI)m those apprehensions to which we tinght not uttherwise have felt miore insensible than the bilk of the comn uttity. I n the lirst place, tojulIgebyoutward appearances, the crisis is psis at the Court of Lisboni, andi no object se ms to be nolW itl hati! worth exercising the adrtotncse-we will not say talents- of this experienced machiiator. In tlte next 'place, ve inate that his mission may be ininoceit ; because, it is not wholly without example that act amnbassa(lor of splendid, parts should be sent to Portugal from this coutitry, an; l vitl the sanme large salary that Sir VI LLI AN A'CoetiR is to en- joy, although there was no imisoltief of anv kind to betlotte' there, saving otily the exvtenditure of to,(tOUl. per atitunIi - indleeml, althougth there was neithier King nor Court at Lis- bott, anti( the appoiitinetit itseli was no better than a sine- cure, madle by Lord LoNDONDERRn for one of his U)pIo- vidlvd friends.

The letters and papers from Lisbon, up to the 30th ult., bring us an accoult of a fre3h conspiracy dstected, and, it is prestmed, deCcatea on the 2Sth, by t6 arrest of several persons. The statements, however, are extromely meagre; as we neither find in them the narmes of the persons impli- cated, nor a specification of the object soaght. Suspicion here would naturally fix upon the party connected with the QuErE and Don M1GUEL; yet the only conjecture whicli we find hazarded at the scene of action, iynputes to the disaffected the design of forcing tliG KrsG to fulfil his pro- mise of giving the country a free constituition-a design, the success of which, it is very clear, wouEl not be vcry agreeable eitlher to her Majesty or his Royal Highness. An. address has been publislhed by the War-Miiiister, thanking the troops in garrison at Lisbon, and the Royal Guard, for their conduct; and from the document we learn that the conspirators, or some of them, " were un - "worthy of theunifoi'm theyhad thchonourto wear"-.that is, that they belonged to the military. In another part also, it is said, or preached, that all the KING'S subjects, " how- ' ever high and distinguishied be their rank," owe him equal obedience; from which, perhaps, we might infer, that some persons of "high rank" may be imaplicated. Our deductions can go no farther upon any thing like sure ground. The people in London attach no great import- ance to the matter; and in the case before them they may perhaps be right: but we think they are sanguine .poli- ticians who would fancy the affairs of Portugal settled.

TO Tilj EDITOR. OP THE TIfES. Sir,-The parish of LaImbeth contains more than 50,000 inhabi- tauts, the majority oF whom are hedvily assessed to the parochial and other rates. With a benevolent view to assist multitudes to- tally unable to pay taxosr, and at the sarne time provide subsistence for their famili a requisition on the 31st of March ltst was pre- parcd and aigned by rnan of the select vestry and other house- o,lders, addres%ed to the churchwardens in the following tenns:- Wec, the undersigned inhabitant householders of this parish, rc- spectfultv request you will, on an early da, convene a vestry for the Pur ose of considering the expediency of petitioning both houses ot : ariiament for the repeal of all or a part of the assessed laws, but particularly those upon houses and windows." After the requisition had been deliveredi, some persons. from the best of motives. signed and presented a counter-requisition to the same churchwardeng, setting forth, that although an txbneration from taxes might be beneficial to their feUow.parishioners, they neverthe- less requested the clurchwardens not to comply with the first re- qnisition, because they considered it would be too late in the sesdon to present a tetition w ith effect- and the majority of the ehurch- wardens of Latmbeth vefusA in 11 AN INHABITANT OF LAMBETH.

'LMs molTning, at nve O'clock, a slight shock o- an earthquake was felt in thie city. We have had intense heat for these three days ; Fa1irenheit's thermometer has been at 100 degrees in the shade. iils AlajeEty the King of Denmark, having given A. Dal Borgo de Prime, his Charge d'Affaires at this nlourt1 e character of En- voy Extraordinary, to present to his Majesty tl e insignia of the most illustrious Order of the Elephant, the King, our Sovereign, was pleased to nppoint Saturday, the 24ti, toreceivethe said insignia. Tile llinister was accorTdingly introduced at two o:le, with the usual ceremonies, anil having (tIelivered his eredentiari tnud the Insig- nia, addressed his iMlajcsty in an appropriate speech; to which tihe King made a suitable reply. The etcessive heats experienced in this city on the 18tb, 19th, and 20th of Jutne, and wliich did such damage to the ields, deserve srome observation. On the 17ih and 18tlh Fahrenheit's th meter, in the open air and the shade, was from 92 deg. to 9G . at two o'clock, and 79 deg. to 83 deg. at mnidnight. On the 9t l, exposed to a hot wind from the north-east, It rose to 105 deg. This burning wind did im- mnense damage. This wind was so hot that the thermometer exposed to i was, even at midnight, at 91 deg. On the morning of the 20th it fell to 83 deg., rose at 2 a. in. to 103 (leg., and at midnight was again at 83 deg. On the 21st and 22d a sea breeze from the soutlit west cooled the air, so tha' the thermorreter was only at 81 deg., andi 76 deg. in tbehothours,and fell at midnight-to 73 deg'andW8deg. 1- is to be noticed that the thermometer in the open air, bui sheltermd from the north-east, dlid not rise on the 19th to above 11)0 d gees. t is fimipossible to -calculate exactly the damage done by the terw rible phenomenon of the 19th; we can state, however, that the vines, in el'cvatedl stuatiunn4 exposed to the northl-east, entirriy lost the abundattt fruit with wblich they were loaded.

Corn Trade.
The Times, 1824-11-15T00:00:00

It appears from commutnications we have received fiom scctstble correspontlents o thQ subject, that a struggle is owv carrying oni in the corn trade,-on one side to prevent, and on the other to procure, the openihg of the ports for the .a,ortation of barley. The great aim of each is, by sales anc purchases, real or fictitious, to alter the state of the averages, as they will appear in the returns for the six :eeks ending on the 12th instant, by which the inportation 4governed. 'Of the extent to which the fictitious sales have been carried, some itea may be forme(d froma the annexed tuble; from which itwill beseeni, that fromn the 27th of Sep-. tember to the 6th of November, there arrived in the port of London *25,SD7 quarters of barley, hviiile the quantity of the same grainl returned by the corm-factors to the Inspector of Corn Returns, as hlaving been sold and deliveredl during the same period, armounts to 46,51 quarters. It is thuls (le- mnonstrated, that 20,92., quartels of barley hove been re- turned in fictitieus sales, with the view of opening the ports for the imiportation of foreign barley. It is sait that some rersons have gouc so far as to forge the names of respiectable ~orn_factors as parties to the sales in questioni. The In- Iector of Corn Returns has mna(le a report on these trans- kictions to the Board of Trade, and the affair is at present ander iarvestigat~oiol As the parties are nlow known who l,pave been guilty of these d;isgraceful acts, it is to be hoped i;hey will be publicly exposed, in justice to the respectable factors on the C:orn-exchanoe.
