GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. Dome. THE THAMES TUNNEL.—The definitive answer of his Majesty's Ministers to the application of the Thames Tun- nel Company for advances to complete the works, was com- municated a day or two since from the Treasury to Lord Althorp, who has taken a most active part in the attempt to induce Ministers to comply. The letter received by his Lordship from the Chancellor of the Exchequer intimated that the Duke of Wellington, and the rest of his Majesty's advisers, did not under present circumstances deem it ex- pedient to recommend any grant or advance of money to complete the works. It was, however, intimated, in the communication to Lord Althorp, that in the event of his Majesty's Ministers entertaining the same feelings on the subject in the next session of Parliament, the question might be brought forward with a prospect of their acqui- escing in the request of the Company for advances. Things at the Thames Tunnel continue in statu quo. The number of visitors daily is considerable. The whole of the sub- scribed capital, viz. X200,000, has been called by the Di- rectors, and the balance in hand is very trifling. Among the Proprietors and Directors a great deal of difference of opinion exists on the subject of adopting an offer made by certain parties, in the event of supplies being obtained, to complete the Tunnel for a much less sum than it would cost to finish the works on the plan hitherto adopted by Mr. Brunell. An active canvass is going forward to ascertain the feelings of the general body of shareholders on this subject. The documents conceded by ministers, on Sir. James Mackintosh's motion respecting our relations with Portugal, were laid before both houses last night. The series (which is not however connected), opens with a short letter from Mr. Canning, bearing date in June 1826, and terminates with the report of Captain Walpole, detailing the transac- tions at Terceira, in February last. A note addressed by the Marquis Barbecena to Lord Aberdeen, dated the 25th of last November, calling upon England to support the Queen of Portugal against Don Miguel, and a reply from the Earl of Aberdeen, after an interval of some weeks, comprehends the whole case between the parties, viz. the demand of effectual aid from England; and the assertion, by this government, of the system of non-interference. MONEY MARKET.—Saturday Morning.—Consols this week have been almost stationary. At the close of yester- day, the price was only a turn of the Market higher than last Saturday. The operation that is now understood to be in progress for the transfer of the Funded Stock belonging to the trustees of the Savings Banks into Exchequer Bills, excites general attention. The effect will be to bring a large sum of 3 per Cents into the market, and withdraw a corresponding amount of Bank notes from circulation. The money received for the Stock sold is paid to the directors of the Bank to redeem Exchequer Bills in their hands, which Exchequer Bills are handed over to the trustees of the Savings Banks in lieu of the stock sold. As a measure of national finance, this exchange is unobjectionable. The ad- vantage to government is great, and the security to the depo- sitors equally the same in both instances. The notes paid into the Bank by government are in fact withdrawn from circulation, unless the directors can fiwl H< oWwuoU of issue, or have an increased demand in the old ones. The abstraction of from £ 80,000 to £ 100,000 a week from the Money Market, for the Stock sold, must advance the rate of interest, and send borrowers to the Bank. The directors will then have individuals for their debtors, instead of the government, and the government will be independent of the Bank. The result must be a higher average value of money, and an increase of business in the Stock Market. The King had select dinner-parties at the royal lodge, at the close of each day's races at Ascot. The Duke of Wellington gave a grand dinner on Thursday, in celebration of the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. Earl Bathurst was the only individual present who was not engaged in the battle. A public dinner took place at Aylesbury on Thursday, on the occasion of presenting the Marquis of Chandos with a full-length portrait of himself, painted by Mr. Jackson. R. A. by order of the Buckinghamshire Brunswick Club, Lord Kirwall presided over a company of about three hun- dred persons. One of the novelties of the dinner was a sturgeon about seven feet long, dressed whole, and borne to the table on the shoulders of four men. It weighed 140lbs. aud was caught the previous day in the Thames, near Mar- low. The Solicitor General has been re-elected for Weymouth. The nomination took place on Saturday, and he was rough- ly handled by the mob belonging to his opponents at the former election. Mr. Montague, the barrister, (who was- not present, being detained elswhere) was put in nomination, and the show of hands being in his favour, a poll was de- manded by Sir E. B. Sugden. On Monday morning, Mr. M.'s friends declined a contest, and the former was declared duly elected. The solicitor-general stated, in his address, that the last election cost him £6000. A most important cause will be tried in the Court of Common Pleas after Trinity Term. It is an ejectment brought by Lord Teynham against Captain Tyler, for the recovery of the manors and estates in Kent and Stafford- shire, entailed upon Lord Teynham by the marriage settle- ments of his grandfather in 1733, and again upon the mar- riage of his uncle, the father of the late Lord Teynham, and for the recovery of all rents, profits, and value of woods sold since the death of the late lord in September, 1824.-Kent- ish Gazette. REMINGTON, STEPHENSON, AND Co.'s BANKRUPTCY.— At the last meeting of the creditors of the above firm divi- dends were declared on the joint as well as the separate estates of the bankrupts. On the joint estate a first divi- dend of 7s in the pound was declared on the separate es- tates of Messrs. Semington and Toulmin, a dividend was announced of 20s in the pound; and the first dividend on the separate estate of Rowland Stephenson was declared to be only Is 6d in the pound. It is believed that on the joint estate of the bankrupts dividends will be forthcoming to the creditors of about 14s or 15s in the pound. On Rowland Stephenson's separate the total amount of divi- dends will be very small. On the separate estate of Henry Stephenson, against whom a commission of bankruptcy was issued subsequent to that against the firm, he having, al- though a clerk in the house, been mixed up with the trans- actions of the firm, no dividend has been declared. There is no expectation indulged by the partners in the late firm that Rowland Stephenson will return to explain his con- duct. In the Vice-Chancellor's Court, on Saturday, a case came on which is well worthy of observation. It regarded a calico-printer, at Manchester, who complained that certain patterns of printed linen and cotton goods, which he had himself invented and prepared with much labour and ex- pence, had been infringed on and pirated. In remarking on this case, the Solicitor-GeneUl stated the mode in which these piracies were usually got up. He observed, "that after the inventor has been at an enormous expence in de- signing patterns, some of which do not succeed, and which the persons who are in the habit of pirating, do not think it worth their while to copy, as soon as a good pattern comes out, that instant they begin to pirate. The trade knows well that the piracy is going on, and that there is a great stock on hand; immediately the three months are expired they pour into the market the pattern they have thus pirated, and the persons who want to purchase, knowing there will be a glut, and that, therefore, the article will be cheap at the end of the three months, wait till that time before they buy the stock of the inventor, so that he is not enabled to sell during the three months, because it is known it will be cheaper hereafter pp.4.at the end of the three months he finds himself in competition ais own invention, with a larger stock in hand, which has been pirated during the time the Act gave him protection." This clear and concise state- ment explains sufficiently, without further comment, the hardships consequent on the present law of patent. By that law, as it is now regulated, every one is benefitted but the ingenious patentee himself. He only, who is the first to do good to the public, is the first to receive injury at his hands. We do most earnestly trust, that at an early period next session, this question, in which all classes of the com- munity are more or less concerned, will be taken into seri- ous consideration by the legislature. Last week Mr. John Perkins, of Belvedere, slaughtered an ox weighing about nine score per quarter, with a close kidney of extraordinary size, measuring five feet round, 18 inches through, and with 1321b. of suet on it: the hollow kidney was also extremely large.Bath Chronicle. -e.

¡ASCOT HEATH RACES.—(CONCLUDED…
ASCOT HEATH RACES.—(CONCLUDED FROM OUR LAST.) j Third Day.-His Majesty arrived at a quarter past one o'clock, attended by his suite, in the sam'e manner as on the two preced- ing days. The same tokens of loyalty and respect were offered as before, and they were acknowledged by his Majesty's usual condescension and dignity. The King' looked remarkably well, and took the greatest interest in the running, particularly in the race for the cup, in which his favourite Colonel was entered. The great race (for the gold cup) was an extremely interesting one the horses went off at speed, and the running to the close was excellent. A strong feeling prevailed the course in favour of Colonel, who having been left far behind pulled up consider- ably towards the end of the race, amidst the applause of the spectators, but he was unable to recover the lost ground, and Zinganee won cleverly. His Majesty was accompanied in h's carriage, coming and returning, by the Duke of Cumberland, Prince Lieven, and the Duke of Leeds. The distinguished individuals who attended on the two preceding days were all of them again present. The following statement of the running will show that there was a new disposition of the races as compared with former meet- ings the gold cup, instead of being run in the middle, was ap- pointed to be decided last, and did not come off till past five o'clock, instead of half-past two or three o'clock.

At going ort Acta iaia insiae, ana naa not got far before Dockeray, perceiving a man on horseback right in his track, he pulled out of the way, but the fellow at the same time backed his horse, and Ada went right against him, falling down, and rolling over Dockeray, who providentially escaped with a few bruises. Robinson had a narrow escape, having missed the man by about six inches. Sycorax (rode by Robinson) made all the play, and won cleverly by a length. Moynalta was jockied by Frank Boyce, and Mr. Payne's by Arnull.

After considerable trouble the horses were brought tothe post, where two or three false starts threw the race back to a little after five o'clock. We never saw any thing more finished than the style in which Zinganee came in—nothing- could live with him, and it must be allowed that he has now proved himself to be the best horse in the kingdom, and the best, too, that has run. To gratify the King, the horses were ordered to the front of been known for many years. Riders—Zinganee, by Chitney Mameluke, by Wheatley Cadland, by Robinson; Creen Mantle, by Lye the Colonel, by H.

JFOMQII.
JFOMQII. .y Letters from Rome to the 5th inst. speak of the shocks of earthquake experienced there, and add that the severest shock was felt on the 1st, by which one of the churches and several of the buildings sustained serious damage. PARIS, June 16.—Vessels bound for those ports of the Ottoman empire which Admiral Heyden has just declared in a state of blockade, have been stopped by the Russian ships. The cargoes, it is true, have been restored, but the captains had been forbidden to proceed to the place of their destination. Letters from Toulon speak of some active preparations which seem to announce that an attack upon Algiers is again in contemplation. Letters from Rome say that the commissioners who were sent to Albano to observe the phenomena that have. lately occurred there have returned. They have found that the lakes of Nemi and Castel Gandolfo have neither fallen nor changed in colour or taste, as was reported. Nevertheless the shocks still continue. PAHIS, June 17.—We had said that Admiral Ileyden had, by an official declaration, confirmed the extension given to the Blockade of the Dardanelles by Admiral Ricord. The gulfs of Faros, Enos, Lagos, Cavale, and Countessa, had been prohibited to the merchants. This resolution had excited i,^»i5t,»ation in the merchants of all Europe, and gave reason to fear a collision between England and Ilassia. We have a letter from Vienna, which says, "The Aus- trian government has received the news that the Emperor Nicholas has declared that it was his intention that his fleet should confine itself to the blockade of the Dardanelles." The couriers who are the bearers of this news left Warsaw on the 3d of June. The Fleur de Lis frigate has conveyed to Napoli di Ro- mania 80 non-commissioned officers selected from the regi- ments which are in the Morea. These officers are to be em- ployed as instructors in the Greek infantry. PARIs.-The Chamber of Deputies was occupied on Friday with the further consideration of the Budget, when a sum of four millions francs (about £ 167,000) was pro- posed for the maintenance of foundlings On this occasion M. Charles Dupin observed that the legislative provision in France for illegitimate children operated as positive encou- ragement to immorality and illicit connection. The num- ber of legitimate children (said M. Dupin) amounted only to 921,000 annually; that of natural children amounted to 73,500. In this number were included not only bastards, but also the children of marriages who were abandoned by the barbarity of their parents, and often without want ap- pearing to render such atrocity necessary. He had in the last autumn visited flie hospital of foundlings in the city of Bordeaux. At the conclusion of the visit a bell was heard, which announced that an infant had been exposed. We inmtediately repaired to the cell in which the child was placed, and there we found a child of three years old, in good health and neatly dressed. It was thus neither want nor friends which induced this exposure, for on going out we saw the old nurse who had left it returning slowly, amid a crowd whose curiosity had attracted them (strong sensa- tion.) This was deep demoralization both in parents and spectators; it was a public infamous disorder, which he pointed out to the attention of the Minister of the Interior The disproportion between legitimate and illegitimate child- ren was enormous in some cities, and particularly in the capital, where to 19,414 legitimate children, there were 10,392 bastards Let the marriage ceremony be rendered cheaper between persons without fortune; let more disgrace be inflicted on concubinage; let the civil and the religious authorities unite their beneficent efforts to remedy one of the greatest evils of modern society. He would not presume to point out any remedy, but there certainly ought to be some. He begged them to remember that out of 73,000 foundlings, 30,000 died every year before the age of twelve years, and who would have lived if their parents had pre- served them beneath the parental roof." The above is truly a fearful picture of immorality. Ever since the invasion of France by the Allied Armies in 1814, the number of illegitimate children has been immense, and the evil seems rather on the increase than otherwise. More than half the number of children born in Paris are bastards —upwards of ten thousand bastards annually for the metro- polis of France! What will Mai thus say to this? Paris will henceforth become as celebrated for its bastards as its rats. Female continence seems to have bade adieu to France. Hamburgh papers to the 20th have been received. A desperate battle is said to have been fought on the 19th of May at Aski Arnoutler, between General Roth and the Grand Vizier. The Turks claim the victory, but the parti- culars are not given. The Sultan is personally indefatigable in his exertions, and has now the cheering satisfaction that the voice of the people is with him in prosecuting his various plans of reform. This is gaining a double victory over the fears of the army and the prejudice of the people. The Gazette de France states, on the authority of its cor- respondent at Vienna, that the Russians have experienced a very serious check at Pravadi. This probably refers to the action fought on the 19th May—two days later than the first affair. If the Gazette may be credited, the Turkish fleet not only partially raised the blockade of the Bosphorus, but actually captured a Russian frigate of 50 guns. Considerable excitement has been caused at Lloyds, by the arrival of the Ocean from Sierra Leone, which vessel left Terceira on the 15th instant, and on the following even- ing was boarded by the Portuguese frigate Perola, which detained her until the next morning, and then compelled the commander to open the bag of letters entrusted to him by the English Consul, from which the captain of the Perola '7' abstracted all the Portuguese letters and detained them. The agricultural advices from the Continent this morning are of some interest. The Antwerp letters state, that in that part of Europe there was every prospect of a good harvest; and the late refreshing rains had caused the anxiety for the spring corn to cease, The corn market was in a stagnant state. The accounts from Koenigsburg mention that the weather was cold, and the harvest would be late At Rotterdam the orders for shipping had ceased, and the weather was exceedingly fine, but rain was wanted. The arrivals of grain at Havre had been so considerable that the market was in a most stagnant state. No less than 185 vessels had arrived laden with wheat, rye, and barley in six weeks, chiefly from Holland, Denmark, and the ports of the Baltic. The harvest in that neighbourhood would not commence, at the earliest, before the latter end of Au- gust. It was expected the next average would reduce the duty on wheat. The harvest in Normandy promised well. The drought in Dauphiny was severe, and apprehensions were entertained for the crops. At Marseilles the product of wheat was expected to equal that of last year, if not exceed it.
PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE.
PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Friday, June 19. The report of Sir T. M. Wilson's Estate Bill (otherwise the Hampstead Heath Inclosure Bill) was brought up by Mr. Per- ceval. Mr. R. Gordon and Mr. Stewart opposed the bill and Mr. Perceval, who said he had no wish to retain the clause empower- ing building on the Heath, withdrew the bill. REDUCTION OF TAXATION, ANn THE INTEREST OF THE DEBT. Mr. Bennett presented a petition from John Matson, of West Hackney, Middlesex, praying that the whole of the taxes might be repealed, and that a pioperty-tax of twenty-five per cent. might be imposed instead of them. The hon. member observed that, although lie could not go quite so far as this petition, he was yet perfectly convinced that this country, to enjoy the bene- fits of a free trade, must first get rid of the enormous taxation by which it was at present oppressed, aud that taxation, as it ap- peared to him, could not be got rid of except by the reduction of the national debt. Lon Mr. Hume said, whether this petition were entertained or not, it would, sooner or later be for the house to say, whether the system of taxation ought not to be in proportion to the property possessed by the individual. Among the other benefits which would result from such a system, the difficulty which at present existed in the collection of taxes would be entirely done awav with, and a saving of £3,000,000 a year effected for where £4,000,000 were now expended in collecting the taxesE1,000,000 would be found to suffice. The petition was ordered to be printed, CHARGES AGAIKST MR. NASH. Mr. Rum-bold brought up the report of the Select Committee appointed to inquire into the charges against Mr. Nash, and which entirely exonerates that gentleman. Colonel Davies rose to take this opportunity of explaining his conduct in regard to this transaction. The hon. member set out by observing, that he had been blamed by many of his friends for having left the committee to the nonvna(onot' government, but he at least expected that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whose office made him the peculiar protector of the public property, and those gentlemen connected with the government, would have equally abstained from treating the question as one in which con- siderations of office and party were to influence their conduct. Whether they had done so he should leave the house and the public to decide. The result of the inquiry had been, that three or four of the independent members of the committee haxinq left town while the ministerial phalanx remained unbroken, those resolutions had been carried which were now presented to the house. Mr. Nash, for his management of the crown property, was to receive one-half per cent. upon the value of all the old materials of buildings that were purchased and pulled down. From the evidence taken before the committee, it appeared that on the 20tii oi .7itauury-, ■•183C^Si> jCjirirTaafc'* report Commissioners of Woods and Fwests, containing a valuation of all the property from which persons had removed in the neigh- bourhood of Pall-mall. On the 26th of the same month, Mr, Edwards, who was a near friend and a relation of Mr. Nash's, applied for a lease of a portion of the property, and in the course of a few months acquired the lease upon terms the same as the valuation reports by Mr. Nash. Having obtained the land, Mr, Edwards appointed Mr. Nash his agent for disposing of it upon under leases, and the matter being thus arranged, he gave him- self no further trouble, but went to the Continent. In the year 1822 Mr. A1 ash went on a visit to his friend Mr. Edwards, and they were told that he then, in the course of conversation, volun- tarily offered Mr. Edwards X4500 for his interest in the transac- tion. Now Mr. Edwards had said that this was a matter in which there was no collusion between him and Mr. Nash and as Mr. Edwards was a man of large property, and had formerly been a member of that house, lie was bound to believe him.. Otherwise he should certainly have suspected that Mr. Edwards had agreed to become the purchaser of the lease at the value set upon it by Mr. Nash, and that after a certain time had elapsed, the bargain was to be given up to Mr. Nash, upon the receipt of some such valuable consideration, as £ 4500. Lut Mr. Edwards told told the committee that Mr. Nash, in his usual generosity and warmth of heart, offered him this sum, and took the risk of the speculation upon himself. But what would Mr. Edwards say of Mr Nash's generosity and warmth of heart when he knew that within a very short time after this transaction, Mr. Nash underleased the same property again for £ 17,059, making by his generosity and warmth of heart a profit of upwards of £ 14,000. Mr. Nash studiously concealed ths transaction from the Com- missioners of Woods and Forests, and the committee had it in evidence that it was only discovered by accident, after a lapse of a year and a half. The supporters of Mr. Nash contended that if it could be proved that he did not derive profit from the trans- actions, he would be exonerated. This position he altogether denied. It had been advanced in the committee that he had expended £ 21,000 in the purchase of the lease and in building, and that he sold the property for £17,000, and that he had in- curred a loss upon the whole transaction, oft4577. He did not believe that Mr. Nash had expended anything like such a sum upon four small houses in Suffolk-street, which were erected upon this land but whether he did or did not it made no alteration in the case. An attempt had been made to bolster up Mr. Nash's conduct by the evidence of Mr. Shaw. He was ready to admit that Mr. Shaw's evidence entirely exculpated the Com- missioners of Woods and Forests, but maintained that it had no such effect with regard to Mr. Nash. The hon. member was proceeding to remark upon a part of Mr. Shaw's evidence, when Mr. Maberley rose to order. The Speaker—As I am called upon, I can have no hesitation in saying that the course which the honourable member has been pursuing is quite unusual-that it is extremely irregular. Colonel- Davies said he was placed in a most difficult situation, because the committee had chosen to adopt certain resolutions, which, if they were adopted, must hold him up as a person un- worthy of credit, and capable of making charges upon light grounds, or without the means of substantiating them. These resolutions would be read by every body, whereas the minutes of the evidence, even if read to an equal extent, would not afford an insight into the real facts of the case. Under these circum- stances he must proceed in stating to the house the grounds and the motives of his conduct. The honourable member then turned to the point of the evidence upon which he had keen interrupted, when Mr. F. Lewis rose to order. He did not know whether the house would excuse him for the motion he was about to make, but he perceived that there were strangers in the house, and he would move that strangers be ordered to withdraw. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, the gallery was cleared, and the house debated for some time in private. When strangers were re-admitted, Colonel Davies was speaking. The honourable member said, that from the character of the evidence, and the smallness of the majority by which the resolutions had been carried in opposition to the evidence, he would consider it his duty to move for the appointment of a committee on the subject early in the next session. Mr. Maberly said that the house had most properly, in his opinion, decided upon abstaining from discussion until the whole of the report and the evidence was printed. The report was then brought up, and, with the evidence, ordered to be printed. NOTICES FOR XJiXT SESSION. Sir T. Free-mantle gave notice that, he should move for leave to bring in a bill to amend the poor laws. Mr. Sadler gave notice that he should bring under the consi- deration of the house a measure relative to betteriap the condi- tion of the poor. <> Colonel Davies gave notice that he should bring before the house the subjects of secondary punishment and of prison disci- pline.—Adjourned to Monday.
