This fund having been found instiWeient, the Emperor Alexander has recently advanced it by au ukase to 340,009 rubles. The Emperor has also permitted the ecclesiastics of all confessions in the Ru'si, u i empire to bear a silver cross attached to a button-hole by a riband, similar to that of the Miler of St. %Vladimir. The ukase published um this occasion says, that it is "fur having contributed, by their exhurtations and their zeal, to the defence of the coun try in the y - ears 1814 and 1813." At the University of Moscow almost all the public courses have recommenced, and it is remarked, that the vett! , disasters of that city have had a favoarahle influence no the slate Of the sciences. The appoimments ut the professors have been augmented, the different brunches of the sciences have re- ceiven a greater development, and the her of students is augmenting. The Gymnasium has been opened anew, and perfected in several of its parts. It is the same with the • in the country. After the example of the Emperor and Empress Dowager, the grandees and wealthy individuals moody to contribute to the progress of iiistructiois,by donations and very considerable foundations. The Count de Schottwa lotf has given a sum of 150,090 rubles for the formation of a Gymnasium at Moseuw. The Counsellor of the Mines, M. Deinidow, has given a sum of 100,000 rubles to the Univer sity of Moscow, and a similar sum to the seminaries of Kvid and Yaioslolf. The Count de Scheretnetjew has granted fur tho Inundation of an establishment for poor persons, a fund of million and a halt' of rubles, and another very con.iderable soon to the Univer-ity of Moscow.

The following oil-kill:. account has been taken final a Bom bay paper:—" Mr. Powell, commander of the Quern ChM' lour, informs ns of the interesting circumstance of hi, haying recovered from a tuck, 21 mike N.W. of Nocutheeyali (one of the Niarcissesas), a man that had been its solitary fur Iteariy 3 years.

Letters from Odessa, received at Marseilles, announce, that the great profits which were derived, in the last year, frunrthe sale of grain, have net tailed to rouse the industry of the agriculturists. Large tracts of land, hitherto neglected, have been sown. " Wheat, therefore," say the kite's, "is so 1 abundant in the markets of Southern Russia, that if Europe dues not come to our assistance, we shall never be able to find vent for it." A letter from Lyons. dated the 311 instant, states—" Our fine and extensive mataifact res resume their ancient activity; the trade can scarcely meet the multiplied orders from Spain, Germany and the Gutted States. If we may rely upon seve ral individuals, said to be well informed on the subject, the town of Lyons has this year exported silks to the amount of more than 60,000,000 of francs. The-most interesting literary intelligence which could be announced at the present moment, is the ensuing publication of The iliNfory of Cromwell,' by M. Villeinam. The manu script has been purchased by Maradiu, bookseller, for 12,000 francs. VIN EG AR ACT. —Some proceedings having been instituted by the Commissioners of Lscise, tinder the 7th clause of this Act, of. natal'. not contemplated by the framers of the law, a memorial was addressed to the Lords of the Ts eiAttry, by certain respectable merchants and others who were affected by that construction of the clause. To this memorial the following reply has bean given:— 1S~~:1L TO MESSRS. A. B. AND CO. Gentlemen,—The Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury having had under consideration the Memorial signed by yourselves and others, complaining of the vexatious operation of the 7th clause of the act of last session. cap. 65, I have it in command to acquaint you, that my Lords, under the circumstances stated in lour :Memo rial, have been pleased to direct the Commissioners of Excise to sus pond any proceedings for enforcing the observance of the said clause, by any person other than persons engaged or concerned in the ma nufacture of Verjuice, Vinegar, or Acetous Acid, or dealing therein ; and I am to request you will communicate the above information to the several persons who signed the said Memorial. I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant (Signed) GEO. HARRISON. Treasury-chambers, Oct. 6. BUONA PARTE . 3 COM PLAINT.—IIn the observations of Buonaparte on Lord Bathurst's Letter to Sir Hudson Lowe, he asks, " Would any prisoner of war in England, in France, in Russia, in Austria, or in Prussia, be prevented from cur_ responding with his banker, with his friends, or his mistress, without previously submitting his letters to persons who were to inspect them i" General Buotiaparte, it would appear, front these questions, forgets its own arts, when be was at the head of the Government of France ; it he did not, lie as well as every Englislinisn tlet.iined in France timing the late war, knows that the prisoners of war in time various depots, were obliged to send their letters, addressed to their friends in England, open to the military Commandment of the places where they were confined, who sent them to the Minister of Marine at Paris, and by bins were forwarded to the Minister of Police, who, afmer Navin_ read them or trans. lated, returned them to the Minister of Marine, and they were then, and not till then, sent oil to Englaml. But as Gen. linonaparte speaks of the treatment of prisoners of war in the various European States, we will ask him if any Govern ment but his, amid that of Algiers, would have made women amid children prisoners of war ? That he did so thousands of persons can testify. The following is an extract of a letter from Mancheste•s dated the 11th inst.—•• To day we have had 4 number of ship letters, via Liverpool, t . f not Philadelphia and New Yoi k.— Such as are commercial ate rather of au impleasatt nature. British goods are reprtsented as a complete drug in the mar kets, and several cargoes had arrived which remained unbro ken in the stores. 'I he only articles for which sales could be effected at any thing like a remunerating profit, were Irish linens and Yorkshire woollen cloths, and the markets were becoming overstocked with the latter. To add to these un pleasant accounts, matters wear rather a sombre appearance with us here. There is little or no demand for articles in the fancy line; and what is 'Nog in other branches, has become extremely limited within the few last days. Indeed, among well inforuad persons, there is a pretty general conviction that America will, at no very distant period, become a very formidable rival to this country." A Clergyman in the county of Essex has lately resigned two vahribie livings into the hands of his Diocesan, the Bishop of allt•ging, that he could nut conscientmosly hold them ;.ny longer, ifssenting from many sulkies 1-w - dallied in the Liturgy of the Church of England. The Bishop, knowing how much the cirrtimstancrs of the clergyman mould be re duced by the I.lJs of his livings, in the hand.omest and most friendly manner, before lie would accept the resignations, endeavoured to 'remove his Peroples and to prevail upon him to retain his livings, but without effect. RHCOMATIIIM.—A correspondent in one of the American Papers lately received, communicates the fellowing recipe tor ilteurnatic pains, as a certain cure. He says he " had it fl oin a jnrllctous master of a vessel, who experienced the hap py effects thereof upon himself and r rew.— Recipe :—'fake some of toe oil that 5•55i.115 on the top of a cask of pickled sat mm, and rub it no the part affected; in two or three days' application it will effect a core." Several of the public works, streets,.4sre. in the metropolis and rises% here, are injudiciously termed New, instead of being named in honour of their original founders or projectors. Al, Osford is a re m arkable instance. The name of New College in latB,) which was then properly enough applied: to it, has unaccountably been continued to the present time. Wykehma Came would certainly .be more it/lousing and appioalnais. O(71' 19 • ANSOI:VENT DTBVPRS' COCSKT. Mr. Serjeant Runnington presided at the adjourned Ses. 'ion for the discharge of Insulyelit Debtors. There never WAs a inure 'numerous list of applications than at present. Sixty-nine were fixed for hearing Wednes. day, seventy-two for next day, sixty-six fur Friday, and forty fur Saturday. Colonel tiotild, of the Militia, who applied for his discharge, was °wised by several creditors, on the grottosd that he had obtained money in away which deprived hint of the benefit of the act. The• Court, ender all the circumstances, allowed the Colonel to be discharged. William Pick&rd was opposed by William Cook, a butcher, at Camden Town, for obtaining credit under false pretences. Mr. Cook stated, that the debtor, in 1512, applied to him for credit, representing himself to be the ownerof a house. He said he had an income, and would pay for his meat guar. terly. In consequence of the above representation, Conk supplied him with meat until his hill amounted to 211. The debtor was then found to be insolvent, and his representation false. The Court held the above trausaction to be one which came within the meaning of the Act, and Mr. Cook's debt was excepted. Nathaniel Jacobs, a horse dealer, well known at the west end of the town, was opposed fur not producing his books, disposing of his property withot•.t a satisfactory account of he smile, and neglecting to make a perfect schedule. The ease stated against hint was that of selling five horses, two of which lie had let iu a jolt carriage to Sir Arthur Piggott, without ecipiainting his creditors, either by books or -his sehetittle. how he had disposed of ths.itnt guineas which were the !trounce. The debtor said, in answer to the several queries lint by Mr. Pearson, and Mr. Wilson, another op. posing creditor, that he 1:31(1 the money to a Mr. Nelson, in discharge of a debt which he contracted before lie went to prison. Hr kept no book hot the post horse dusty book, and that was not in his possession. The Court considered him, ander all the circumstances of the ease entitled to his dis charge. Edward Ambrose, late a dealer in coals by commission, being called on to obtain Isib hearbig, appeared in a ste:e of drunkenness, in consequence of which the Commissioner remanded him to get sober and dismissed his petition to be heard. William Twysden was opposed by Mr. Basset and Mr. An. drews, ou the ground that hiv notice and schedule described I ' to be a prisoner in the King's Rench, when in fact he was a prisoner in the. Fleet. The Courtin:ld the error to be fatal, and the insolvent was remanded io4ive notices de novo, and amend his schedule. TO THE EDITOR OP THE NATIONAL REGISTER SlR.—Having attended the INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S Chiral. ►ur. many months, I would humbly suggest to the Honourable OE.ANT who presides with so much credit to himself, and in some instances v,ith so much humanity towards the prisoners, that there are some cases which appear to me te be decided without that regard which everyman ought to experience who gives up the whole of his property for the benefit of his creditors. I bow, with the utmost subroissien se the authority of the Court ; but if no creditor oppose the petition—and every one has due notice when he may either intend personally/or by Counsel—it appears to me hard, that the Learned Sergeant should himself propose questions, in which either ignorance or tear may induce the unfortunate Debtor to commit himself. .1 have seen instances, where truth has been twisted into guilt—and the Petitioner remanded for that, which, in a common court of law, would °lily be coil/Uttered a misdemeanour. 1 conceive, and I am authorized in my opinion by Counsel learned in The law, that if no Creditor oppose a Petitioner, it is to be presumed he has given a fair and candid statement of his affairs; and, consequently, ought nut to be opposed front the very qua ter from which lie expects, end ought to expect, protection. I do not impute the shadow of blame to him, who has ever proved the" poor man's friend"—hut may rot this hint convince the Learned Sergeant— that the feelings of the un fortunate may sometimes be too severely excited—and that his own humanity may, for the moment, he misled by doing what, certidnly, the Act requires ; but which, common sense would dictate, iniyht lead to endless misery. I repeat again, no real blame can be im puted ; because " Law is law ;" but Equity should hold the Lndalace, and Mercy turn fee scale. am, Sir, 1 oars, &c. S. The coalition between the NVater Companies is injurious to the public, as the latter lose the buiefit of competition. If, however, they should raise the price of water, or neglectgiving.an ample supply, they may endanger their charter, and therefore, it any negligence in fault should arise, the persons aggrieved should make application for redress to the higher authorities. This hint, we hupc, will not pass unnoticed. A curious story is told of a hare lately sent to a Lady at Margate. It lay at the inn, directed to be left till called for, where it remained until it grew so bad that it-was thrown upon the dunghill. The person for whom the present was intended, shortly after received a letter, informing her that she might have acknowledged the receipt of the season lag, for there was a present in the body of it. On this the lady went to the inn, the hare was brought back, and found to con tain five guineas I—a very acceptable present. ANECDOTE OF Foorw.—A 1. crsou talking of an-acquaintance cf his, who was so avaricious as even to lament the prospect of his funeral expenses, though a short time benne lie had bern censuring one of his own relations for his parsimonious temper; " Now is :t not strange," continued he, " that this man would not take, the beam out of his own eye before he attempted tile mote in other people's?"—" Why, so I dare say he would," cried Foote, " if lie was sure of selling the timber." On Wednesday, Mr. Wm. Davis, of Theohalds street, New Kett road, was robbed of his pocket •bri.ik, cortainin 161. in Bank notes, as lie passed through a crowd of persons assembled in the street. An elderly man, named Charles Byron, was on Wednesday night found by Howarth, the Beadle of the Waterloo Bridge, sleeping under one of the arches which support the road op the Surrey side. His appearance was that of an old soldier, anti he stated tha he had been 17 years in the military service of the East India Company— had applied for a pension or some retompcnce for his. services, but bad obtained no satisfactory reply to his claims. He was near:e perishing from want, and tor tue last sixteen nights had reposed under tlic arch where he was found. not having the means to procure a bilging.
