DINNER TO MR. CHARLES BULLER. On Wednesday evening a public dinner was given, in the Market hail of Li:lke-ad, to Mr. Charles tralleald.P., the judge avocet., by his constituents. The chair was occupied by Mr. Bernard Antis, the mayor of the borough. The Chairman basing proposed the health of the chief guest, Mr. C. Bettett said, Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, when I say that in rising to return you thanks for the honour which eon have done me on the present =Moo. I rise on an occasion of deep interest to me, and that my feelings of gratitude and kindness toward you are more strongly ex cited than on any former occasion on which I have had the honour to address you, you must not underasand that speak solely or even mainly with reference to the circumstances of our late contra. I cannot consider that contest ever was dangerous, nor could it hardly be called' serious one. (Ileu.) W slave in former times had to contend with great power and with great influence and with evens; antagoniste—oar triumph on this occasion has been more signal, but we must not disguise it from ourselves, that it has been achieved with the weakest antagonist ever brought forward against ns. (Loud cheers.) But, gentlemen, I fed pride and interest when I advert not merely to the late election, but to the many elections that have gone before. I look eck in the long petiod of our connexion to 15 years ago, when I first sallied firth to solicit the representation from the electors of Liskeard, then for the first time invested with the franchise I mew the Reform Bill. (Cheers.) I had to contend with a nobleman of great power, of long attachment to the borough, who had endeared himself to the inhabitants of this county ; of great abai y —of great worth, which we all have in later years been proud to acknowledge. (Cheers.) I had to rely en one single eta of my public conduct; that net I believe secured me the support of the majority of the electors of Liskeard. It was simply that, being a member for the borough of West Looe, I did not hesitate to vote for the Reform Bill, and to conrecrate the interests of my family to the public good. (Loud cheers.) Well, gentlemen, those were the palmy days of reform • those were the days is which Cornwall was indeed reprepre seated by men worthy of her—by my distinguished friend Sir W. Trewliwny , and by Sir W. Melcsworth. (Cheers) Since that time our principles and party have experienced great vicissitudes. That was the zenith of our sun. We have seen times of gloom and, despondency suc ceeded by large encroachments. The number of reforming members in the House of Commons has been successively di- ininitred, until at last, in the election in 1841, we were placed for the lint time in a minority, and the tories were brought into power. (Haar.) But, gentlemen, during that period, though we were deprived of the services of such men as Sir W. Ttelawny, and the other reformers of this county, the borough of L'skeard always held its steady course, un swerving, undeviating, and unfaltering. (Loud cheers.) And now, gentlemen, it is after this petiod of 15 years of al ternate success aed depression, that I come to you in what I think a very memorable epoch in the history, not only of this borough, but of the country at large. I come to you at a period when your fEreatest triumph has been achieved through the complete triumph of our opponents. (Cheers.) I look on it the. the succees in 1841, and the raising of a tory ministry to power, has been the greatest triumph for liberal principles that the course of events halt ever brought forth. (Loud cheers) You bad a tory govern , meat with men of the moat distioguisbed ability, and who bad been borne into oda by •maeority of nearly 100 in the e House of Commns, and an untold majority in the House of Lords • that tory mini,try was enabled to carry out in parlia- Lament any measure it proposed. Then came the test of principles ; then came the test of the wisdom of the policy professed by each party. What is the result of that ? Why, that able and intelligent men, borne into office by the tory party, could do netting but carry out the policy which you, the electors cf Liskeard, had sent me to parliament to support (cheers), and I know not anything you may pride yourselves on more than trio consistency you have displayed inbad times. You may pride yourselves in basing sent me to parliament to eppoee a powerful ministry, supported by a great majority la the House of Commons ; but I know of nothings° gratifying to you, as men of intelligence, to find, when you sent me there for that purpose, that without going back from a single profession, as the liberal representative of a liberal con stituency, I could conscientiously give my votes in support of the great proportion of the measures proposed by the tory government. (Cheers.) And why? Because that tory government, being opposed by men of ability, saw that the country could be governed by no other principles but these which you had supported ; and that principle, which was stronger than party, stronger than property, stronger than any coalition of influence, that could be brought to bear against it, coerced the strong ministry to break up the tory majority by carrying into effect a decidedly liberal policy. (Loud cheers.) And now, gentlemen, I come before you tinder more favourable auspices; the sun of liberal pnn ciples, so long set, is rising again, and let me say, if not with the brilliancy of former times, at any rate with the promise of a long and unclouded course. (Cheers). I am not speaking now as a party man ; I am not saying that this government, to which I belong. and to which I am firmly attached oa account of my convictions of the honour, wisdom, and liberal principles of its chief men —I say it is not as if latching undue importance to the existence of that political ministry, that I congratulate you on the triumph of liberal principles, and of their assured suc cess and predominance in the government of this country for msay years to come ; and, gentlemen, I feel assured that the triumph of liberal principles no longer depends on particular men. We have got to be independent men. (Hear, hear.) We have got into such a position that, be the government of this country possessed by any man, it is evident t: at whatever man is borne to the heatrof affairs, the progress of liberal opinions must be steady, and, I would add, safe. It may be arid, that it is pos sible that we may have even a protectionist government —that we may Dave soother tory ministry, and that Lord Stauley, in the House of Lords, and Lord (i. Ben- Una, in tie House of Commons, may direct the public affairs. (Laughter.) Now, gentlemen, I do not believe it possible, and I therefore entirely dispense with that sup position. After all the boasting in the last parliament, this fact has come out at the late election, that they are the only party that have suffered the whole loss by which the present government is strengthened, and therefore I feel that I may congratulate you on its being certain, whatever may be the fears of individuals—whatever person may be at the helm of affairs, or of whatever individuals the government may be composed, we may look forward to this ; that the govern ment of this country will be for many years in accordance with the liberal opinions of the great man of the people. (Cheep.) It has been said of late, and much exultation has been exhibited on the subject, that the reign of piety is at an end, that this country is not to be governed by party any longer. Allow me to say, that however gratifying it may be to as as human beings, I do not believe that it none whiter practical men we can entertain. My own opinion is, that In every free country the .government must be by piny—bat I will tell you what I mean by party. I mean that men holding the same principles, and thinking that the same line of policy will benefit the country,, feeling confidence in each other, are willing to wave minor differences to carry out the great principles which they hold in common. Now I believe that ut this world, where every great end must be obtained by the combination of individuals—that in such a way parties must be formed, and that the government must for the time be conducted by the dominance of party. (Hear.) Where a party gets odious is where the link of party is not public good, bat personal gain. Where old family connexions—where the con nexions of party for personal patronage form the link, and net the desire to carry out any public principle or achieve any public object, then I think it is that party becomes evil and a mischief. (Cheers.) But then, I say, it is not because party is bad in itself, but because the party has outlived the principle which gave birth to it. And I believe that in every free country, where the state of political feeling is not entirely vitiated, you will very frequently have periods in which questions that have divided men cease to interest them—men naturally come 'to reconsider the four dation of their party alliance. and form themselvea again into fresh parties. Now, I think that this country is put at one of those periods. At the paasiug of the Reform Bill there was a general desire to change,—a great wish to sweep away old abuses. That proineni the reform party which carried the Reform Bill and its consequent changes. Then there came a strong conservative reaction. Men who thought the institutions of the country were menaced, said, We will oppose all change, because we think all change de trimental to the institutions of the country. That led to the existence of the great conservative party, which thwarted the efforts of the reformers for so many years and ultimately tri umphed under Sir Robert Peel. And now the question that separated us has been carried in favour of liberal principles. And now, it seems to me, that honest men of every party come to say, What is it we have been battling about ? Let us see let us no longer be seared by names, and bandied in °ppm.- tion to particular men. (Cheers.) And what Is it that the country is determined on? Tory, ultra-tory, conserve**, Peelite, whig, radical —all have this one great object, et effecting great practical IefOrITIS in the administration of the affairs of this country. (Cheery.) We, 1 think, rive • great example to our opponents. We showed that we were not to ho frightened by particular names, or kept hack by perional animosities. When Sir R. Peel, although he had been our decided opponent op to the time when he brought forward good measures, did so, we forgot all hostility to the Nam of his party, and we enabled him to any them. (Loud dews.) Depend upou it, the spirit which we excited then litres still, and will animate the people of this country: Ido not calculate on opposition from Sir R. Peel, but that he will lead his aid to promote the public good ; but I believe, even if he were to oppose us, so strong is the energy of the people of this ecomtry, that they will not allow auy party feeling to interfere, but will array themselves on the side of of the government that will promote the good of the people. (Cheers.) I say with confidence that to such a government a noble career is opened. We have mush yet to be done in the reform of our financial policy and the state of our laws. As a lawyer myself, I say it with all deference to my learned friends around me, and whose frowning brows are knitted against me on the present occasion (laughter) ; I say it with all deference to you, Mr. Mayor (laughter), the state of the laws of our land, improved as they have been by the county courts, is still a disgrace to this country, (Cheers.) I soy the administration of the laws, civil and criminal—chancery and common law—l will even go so fur, with the permission of Dr. Cartels, as to say ecclesiastical law, even the law of the spiritual courts, is the disgrace of this country. (Loud cheers.) Many measures have to be taken for the relief and bettering the condition of the great mats of the working people of this country. Great measures have to be thken ; and depend upon it vigorous measures must be taken for remedying the condition of the people of Ireland, and for improving our sanitary condition. Wall, then, I say such measures as these are subjects which occupy the attention of the government at the present moment; *ON are subjects which, by realising the wishes of the people Odds country, will establish the government In the hearts of the people. I believe these are the measures which will hereafter divide parties, Those who wish to give effect to public opinion will be your miaieters, and those will be the popular party in this country who would carry out your wishes by removing abuses and effecting practical reforms. (Cheer,.) lam perfectly sure that in going into parliament with the intention of supporting a government that shall eve effect to such reforms as this, I am but carrying out your *tangs, I am but showing myself worthy of the confidence which you have reposed la me. Believe me that the wish to show myself worthy of your confidence does not depend on a sere agreement between us. It is not became there tea ma jority of the electors of this borough that are favourable to the views that I take. You have hound me by much more than the agreement of opinion. You have inspired me with a sympa thy with your feelings and with your personal character that will ever make me proud of the position of being your re presentative, and ever inspire me with a sincere desire to show myself worthy of that confidence. (Cheer.) I know from my first connexion with this borough against what in fluence you have had to contend. I know, both in former times and on a late occasion, that not merely the influence lof property has been brought against you, but that the maser and more corrupt inducements have been laid out as a temptation. I speak not with anything but pity of else or two who have fallen victims to this tempt*. tion —(bear, hear)—whose conduct stands out in remarkable contrast with that of many poor men, who, in spite of their almost starving families, still hold fast to the steady course of political rectitude and personal integrity, and who said, that however their necessities might urge them, they could not, and would not, supply them with the wages of political dishonesty. (Cheers.) I say, gentlemen, then, when! hays seen these men, and have seen the noble stand that was made in former times for political principles by the electors of Lisl , card, I feel proud of my connexion with such • body of men. I feel that the largest representative body of this country could not offer me a price equal to that which I now enjoy, or the stamp of whose approbation would be half so gratifying to me, as the trust which I derive from you who have so long known me. (Cheers.) I feel not only this, but I feel the constancy and warmth which you have so long displayed, and that I should be dishonour ing my own name and forfeiting my own claim to the respect of my fellow men, if I ever showed myself unworthy of the great example which you have set my fellow-country men, (Loud s.d long protracted cheers.) Several other toasts were proposed and speeches made, and the meeting broke up, after spending • most agreeable day. CEITRAL CRIMINAL COURT—Tins D tY. _ Before Mr. Baron Platt. MURDER. — Thomas Ma intosh Davidson, aged 53, a gen tleman of fortune, was indicted for the wilful murder of Louis Montford, on the 20th Mat., in the parish of Edmon ton. Mr. Boiktei said he bad been instructed. on the part of the crown, to prosecute in this cue. The unhappy gentle man at the bar wai of unsound mind, and, consequently, was not answerable for the offence on which he was arraigned. There could be no no doubt of his insanity ; and, as such, they would be called upon to return a verdict of not guilty. on the ground o f insanity. The first thing which they would hove to do would be to ascertain whether he was of unsound mind or not.—The jury was then sworn es to whether the prisoner was of unsound mind or not. Mr. Bodkin then proceeded to state that the prisoner was a gentleman of property, but owing to his state of mind his property was p la ced under trustee, by order of the Court of Chancery, and there was no doubt he was totally unconscious of what he was doing. Mr. Outfield, surgeon, of Tottenham, deposed that he had attended the prisoner for the last two years; his mind wan completely imbecile, and he was totally unconscious of what he did. He (witness) was satisfied the unfortunate gentleman was not aware of what he had done. —Mr. id'otfurdo, surgeon of Newgate, and Mr. Olding, the assistant-surgeon, gave similar evidence.—The jury found that the prisoner was insane.—Mr. Baron Platt directed the prisoner to remain in the present custody until her majesty's pleasure he known. THE MARYLERONE BILTHDEIL.—Mary Ann Hunt, who was tried and convicted last motions for the wilful murder of Mary Stowell. was again placed at the bar.—Mr. Baton Platt inquired of the prisoner if the had anything to say why the sentence which had been passed on her should not be carried into effect.—The prisoner said she had every reason to believe she was pregnant.—Mr. Baron Platt : Let • jury of matrons be empannelled to ascertain whether the prisoner is in a state of pregnancy.—Mr. Cope: When is the jury to be summoned.—Mr. Baron Platt : As early as possible.—The prisoner was then removed. SUPPRESSION OF THE SLAVE TRADE. The following appeared in a portion only of oar yesterday's impression. A communication, of which the following ie a por tion, has been made by the committee of the British and Foreign Anti-slavery Society to the First Lord of the Treasury After twenty-one yearn of active and laborious efforts the African Institution left it on record, as the fruit of its expe rience, that " it.is in slavery that the slave-trade has its origin; it is the market provided by the slave-holder which furnishes the direct incentive to all the crime!, of a trade in slaves, to the murders and conflagrations which attend their capture, to the condensed horrors of the middle pusage which follow it, and to the misery and desolation of a continent l" The fact, thus enunciated, indicates the rue point of attack— slavery must be abolished before the slave-trade can be sup pressed. In conformity with this view of the subject, the constitu Bon of the British and Foreign Anti-slavery Society lays it down as a fundamental principle, " That so long as slavery exists, there is no reasonable prospect of the annihilation of the slave-trade; and of extinguishing the sale and barter of human beings ;" and, " that the extinction of slavery and the slave-trade will be attained most effectually by the em ployment of those means which are of a moral, religious, and pacific character." To the peaceful extinction of slavery the efforts of its executive committee have bee* exclusively confined; and they now repeat their conviction, so often stated in memorials laid before government, that the attempt to suppress the slave Arade by an armed force is not ouly vain in itself, hut mischievous in its results. In making this remark, the committee would not be under stood to reflect, in the slightest degree, on the present or any preceding government. Strongly as many of them are opposed! to the expediency, nad others of them to the principle, of the system of armed cruisers, they believe that the government have been actuated, in all the measures they have adopted for the suppression of the slave trade, by the most how meads) intentions, and by a sincere desire to terminate an evil which has so long desolated Africa, and brought disgrace on the civilised world. They merely assert a melancholy truth, which the documents laid before parliament for many years past incontestably prove. With respect to the extent of the save trade, it appears that from the year 1816 to 1813. both inclusive, the number of African negroes landed, for the purpose's of slavery, on the islands and on the continent of America, so far as the same could be made up from the official reports, was 657,187 ; of these, 18,042 were captured, and brought to, or driven on shore on the islands or ousts of Amend, and there liberated. But it is clear, from the documents on which this statement is founded, that a much larger number of slaves was landed than is here given. The number of vessels reported to have landed their slaves during the period stated, was 2,313, of which the number of slaves on board live hundred and forty-five could not be ascertained. These slavers probably carried about 208,000 slave, which, added to 657,000, will Rive a total of 863,000 victims for the twenty-seven years. Yet this estimate, fear ful as it is in the aggregate, does not approach the actual number of wretched Africans who were torn from their homes and securely landed in the transatlantic slave markets. It is highly probable, that treble the number would scarcely approach the truth. At the present time, it is believed on good . authority that the number of Africans annually imported into the Spanish colonies and Brasil, amounts to from 80,000 to 100,000. The greet secrecy with which the slavotrade is now car ried on, end the facilities which the extensive coasts of Cuba and Brazil offer for the landing of slaves, together with the connivance and venality of the authorities, render it impos sible to obtain a correct estimate of the negroes imported, or the places at which they are landed. This is admitted by her "elejesty's capsular agents and commissioners reseliog in those countries. But all agree that the number is immense. The latest official reports indicate an increased activity in the slave-trade. The commissioners at Sierra Leone, in their report for 1814, say that, notwithstanding the augmentation of the cruisers the addition of steue-vessels, and the in teemed vigilance of the squadron, " We believe that the slave-trade is increasing, and that it is conducted perhaps more *cally than it ever has been hitherto ;" and they d," Nearly all the former noted slave-haunts appear to be still frequented, and in spite of the stringent measures adopted by the British commodore with the powerful force ander his command, there can be no question but that there his been a very large number of slaves transported both to Cuba and Brasil." Her Ida iesty's commissary judge at the Havana, in his report for the same year, gives it as his opinion that 10,000 Africans had been brought into slavery daring that period, and adds, " that the fears expressed in the report of the lot of January, 1844, respecting an active continuance of the trade, have been confirmed." This gentleman further states, that if the average of the importations of slaves does not equal at the present time the number annually intro duced previously to th e administration of General Valdes, " the cause must be ascribed to the smaller demaud for Mares, rather than to the diminished activity of the dealers, or prohibitory measures of the government ;" and he gives it as his opinion that " if it suited their interest, to send vessels," whether from Havannah or other parts of Cuba, he" doubts whether they would be deterred by the fear of the blockading squadron." Her Majesty's Commisaioners at Rio de Janeiro, in their r‘ port, rem irk that " the im portation of African slaves during the yepr 1844 Ins not diminished;" that the slave-dealers have r. imams:dm ob tain the cover of different flags, undtr whits pleats in Africa, without risk, the indispensable messed wring their nefarious trade ;"—that enjoying " the certain protec tion of their own government on the adores and in the terri torial waters of the empire, they cannot but augment their infamous tram:ethane, stimulated by the profits they leave, and regardless of the horrors they occasion." These profits must be immense ; for we are told, on the seine authority, " that the capture of four vessels would not subject them to 1083, provided the fifth was successful in landing the slaves in Brazil." Among the instances given of the successful prosecution of this detestable traffic, is that of Menoel Pinto da Fonseca, who, the commisaioners state, " has publicly declared that his profits in the African trade stone, during the you 1814, were 1,300 roes, or about 150,0001. ! " With respect to the i • of an armed force to suppress the slave-trade, ' 4 "` .ing facts might be deemed sufficient, bet the papers laid ke ore parliament still further demonstrate this point. It appears from official returns, that from the year 1829 to 1541, both intim:live the number of slaves captured and adjudicated In the Mixed Commission Courts at Sierra Leone, the Havana, Rie de Janeiro, end other places, was four hundred and seven, and the number of slaves liberated, 57,639. About one hundred and fifty of the slavers were captured under the equipment article. In two cases the prosecution was abandoned V the captors, and in twenty cases no adjudication took place; so that the actual number of slavers condemned amounted to three hundred and eighty-five. But these captures were but few compared to the great number of cases which escaped the vigilance and activity of the British cruisers The fact is, the skilful arrangements, the daring energy, and the per sona] impunity enjoyed by all parties engaged in the slave trade, are found to be more than a match for the prevent, or indeed, for any squadron of cruisers that can be employed on the c mat of Africa in that service. It is evident to the committee, that whilst vessele of all de scriptions and sizes are employed in the slave-trade, few, comparatively, of the larger size are csptorcd; and.from facts which an analysis of the returns has brought to light, it would appear that many of the slavers taken are used as decoys; and that the principal business of the British cruisers now is to recapture old slavers. This fact is strikingly exhibited in the return made by Commodore Jones, of the slave-vessels detained by the souadron under his command from April 1, 1844, to Aug. 1845. The c iptures were seventy-fire, Of these, only twenty were detained for the first time; the others had pawed the courts frequently, viz. : fourteen had been condemned twice; twelve thrice; nine four times; five five times; four six times; three seven times; one eight times; one nine times; one ten times; and one eleven times. Of these eventy-five slavers, fifteen only were captured with slaves on board; the rut were detained under the equipment article. These facts prove two things; first that the looses of the slave traffickers are not very heavy, especially, as through their agents at Sierra Leone and elsewhere, they have the power of repurchasing the detained vessels and their stores at extremely low rates, end of sending them forth again and again on their detestable voyages; and secondly, that this country is put to heavy charges, in the shape of prize-money, on vessels which are frequently cap tured under circumstances which scarcely admit of a doubt of their haring bean used es decoys. (To be continued.) FRANCE.—PARIS, SEPT. 23.—MDLLE. DE L1:122t. —Mdlle. de Luzzi a short time since forwarded to the Chan. cellor a justificatory memorial, which has been transmitted to the Juge d'lnstruction entrusted with the affair in which she is concerned. It was rumoured at the Palais within the last few days that certain speculators had proposed to Ildlle. de Luzzi a considerable sum to allow the whole of her cone spoadence with the late Duke de Preslin to be published. Mdlle. de Lutz', it is said, at first absolutely rejected etch an offer, which, if accepted, would have the effect of rendering public letters of an entirely confidential channel. ; but, on the ether hand, as the desire to explain her conduct ought to be exceedingly strong in her mind, perhaps she bas not as yet definitively rejected the idea of publishing these letters. It may, in fact, be remembered that, some time after the process of Rhode; which for several weeks occu pied the attention of France, and indeed of all Europe, lime. Manson, the heroine of that can, came to Paris, to carry out a speculation of a similar character. A shop was opened at the Hotel de Nantes, near the Carrousel, and in it Mane. Manson herself sold a little pamphlet, containing what she called the unpublished letters of the Fualdes case. It is also rumoured at the Palais that two persons have sent in offers of marriage to Mdlle. de Lursi ; and that the head of a lady's boarding school at London hod made several pro positions; to her to come and join her establishment. ITALY.—FLORENCE, SEPT. 16.—The Gazzetta di Firenze, of the 16th, contains au official letter of the Secre tary of Finance to tbo Gonfaloniere of the Magistracy of Florence, in which we remark the following passages ' in allusion to the great national festivity that took place on the 12th :—" It is the will of his Imperial and Royal Highness, that his sentiments of paternal consolation and sneers ac knowledgment of the popular manifestation of attachment to his person, be this day formally renewed to you, and it is alsohis special desire that you communicate the same to the other members of the magistracy of Florence, and to the members of the committee, who, together with 'the ma gistracy, took a part in directing so successfully a national festival, so remarkable for exemplary order and tranquil lity, observed throughout during the movement of so great a mass of population, unanimously bent upon expressing its fervent desire of uniting snore strenuously than ever with their prince and father, by whose assistance, seconded by the efforts of all, they justly hope to see everything promoted, that it conducive to the honour and advantage of the nation, that has giren new proofs of the noble loyalty and generous intelligence which ilstioguighes it. His highness has at the game time directed that the various municipal banners which the municipality of Florence offered in homage to his highness on that evening be conspicuously placed in the church of Santa Croce, of ' this capital, in grateful memory of the event." ANCONA, SEPT. 11.—Letters from Athens state that the cabinet of St. Petersburg has proposed establishing, at Athens, a conference of the representatives of the three pro tecting powers, to concert on the financial situation of the country, and on the means to betaken to pay off the national debt. A letter from London stye, M. do Broglie and M. Brunow have bad several conferences with Lord Palmerston, in the interest of Greece, but that those conferences have been without result. The affair of tbo lonian ships and the torture inflicted on a British subject by order of the Greek government form a grievance for which Lord Palmerston requests satisfaction. It is even reported Admiral Parker will arrive in Pincus. At the present moment Chivas and Kslergis have cast their eye on the I'eloponnesaua. They seem to think this province will be more favourable to them than Aistrnania. TURKEY. TREBIZOND, SEPT. 4. All inter course is interrupted with Persia. The commissary of the Porte in Kurdistan has just arrived. though with difficulty. Raghb-Agha has organised, well or ill, the administration at Diezireh, Musch, Bayezid, and Diarbekir, but the insurgent Kurds often placed hint in danger in his peregrinations; toey occupy all the defiles and passages, and levy contribu , tiros on everything that plasm caravans amongst the rest. In Persia, if report is to he believed, a revolution is immi 'tent:Already the palace of the Schah, at Teheran, was regu. I hilly ileged. As a fire of musketry had commenced, and as the life of the sovereign was in peril, it was necessary to come to some arrangement with the rebels, who demanded their arrears of pay, for the revolution is &military one. It re quired all the tact of Hadji-Mirea, the prime minister, to free the Schah from the difficulty ; he promised the complete pay ment of what they asked for, and for the moment he per- I milted the insurgeats to pillage the shops. At the end cf the month he will have no more money than at present, but before that period has elapsed some expedient or other will turn up, as, for instance, to declare war on Turkey. Already be has broken the treaty elaborated with such solemn slow ness during six years in our walls, between Nourri-Effendi and Abdalla. EGYPT.—ALEXANDRIA, SEPT. 9.—We are here occupied with the arrival of a Turkish vessel, which came in list evening. She brought to his highness the ultima tum which the Porte has sent to the Greek csbinet. It is said that an order has arrived to Mehemet Ali to hold a certain number of vessels, as well as troops, ready to act against Greece on the first intimation from the Porte. 1 cannot say to what point we ought to place faith in all these versions and rumours. We are inclined to believe that the requirements of the Porte are much exaggerated ; and the mystery which is here thrown round the arrival of the Turkish vessel and her mission contribute , to give birth to conjectures which ought not to be admitted but with great circumspection. The Viceroy has decided upon having in future two steamers running regularly up to the estaracts of the Nile, an arrangement which w ill be extremely ac commodating to tourists, as it will enable them mi visit these great objects of curiosity in less time and at Ism expense than hitherto. The writer adds, that the Turkish govern ment is forming a cordon +antiglare freak El Arisi to Sues, and when this la completed, themmobtodidd lam Syria will be admitted freely into Turkey,esi dome We Zaps.

WESTEINEITER COURT OF SEWERS.—DRAINAGE or Loco-ACKE.—Yesterday, a special meeting of the Com missiman of Sewers for Westminster and part of Middlesex, we. held at the office. Greek-street, Soho; Captain Begun, R.N., in the chair, Pursuant to a resolution passed at a previous meeting, Mr. Phillip., the surveyor, presented a re- port upon elm state of the drainage in Long.acre, with plans sled estimates for Ito improvement.

After which they broke into a lower apart ment and carried off a valuable silver cup, two large table spoons, a dozen tea spoons, a pair of silver sugar tongs, and sundry other articles of value. COMMERCIAL er MARKETS. MONEY MARKET ti CITY IN'T'ELLIGENCE. Half-past ate.—There in nothing passing in the City this morning in the shape of news, and the transactions at the Stock Exc ha nge are accordingly limited. Consols began at 861 to for the account, from which they advanced to 861 to 4, but have since receded to 864 to 1, which is per cent. below the closing value yesterday. Parties who have been operating for the rise seem to be deterred from an extension of their purchases by the doubts expressed, on the part of many, as to the effect that may be produced by the intelligence from China, when it comes to be made known, the little that has already transpired being of a character to lead to unfavourable conclusions. Satisfaction has been expressed at the announce ment made of the recovery by Messrs. Rogers and Co., the bankers, of the large amount of property stolen from them some years ago, less the sum of about I,BOW. It was, it appears, restored by the thievi s through the Parcels Delivery Company. Two o'Cloek.—The letters by the Indian mail are not yet in the hands of the merchants. Consols are now 854 to 6 for money, and 864 to for account ; Exchequer Bills, ss. to Bs. premium. The quotations for the foreign stocks are nominal only, there being nothing whatever doing in them.

Flax remained without alteration. The new ' crop is alleged to be good in quality, and more than an average in quantity, but no supplies of it were expected for a fortnight. the new crop of Hemp Seed in the interior is also said to promise well. At the above date, the quantity on the market was more than adequate to the demand, bat it was hoped that purchasers would appear before the close of the navigation. CORN.—EXETER, Sept. 24.—Our Corn to-day has been very largely attended, and more Wheat offering, but in consequence of the millers not being willing to submit to Bs. there was lees business done than would other. wise hare been the ease ; 7s. 6d. to 7s. 9.1. was paid for Wheat to-day. We note no alteration in the price of Barley ; although some farmers complain of they ield; 3s. 9d. to 4e. was the ruling price. Oats were more plentiful in offer, at 2s. 6d. to 2i. 91. per qr. - • Hum., Sept. 24..:The grain market is not so firm as in the I beginning of the week, and, to effect sales of Wheat, rather law prices would hare to be taken. In Russian Outs a good business has been doing at 12d. to 121 d. per stone, and very few are now to be had under the latter figure. Grinding Barley has been sold freely at 12d. per stone, but very little now remains. Rye Meal continues free of sale, and the best quality commands 81. per ton. The arrivals of Linseed this week amount to 8,140 qrs., comprising 2,350 qrs. from Tagan rog, 1,6,10 qrs. from Berdianska, 2,000 qrs. from Petersburg, 1,600 qrs. from Archangel, 506 qrs. from Riga, and 68 bags from Hamburg. These supplies being principally on crushers' account, the market has been again only scantily supplied ; and the demand continuing brisk, the parcels which were offered have been readily taken at well-supported rates. We quota Black Sea, 48s. to 48s. 6d.; fine Petersburg, 475. to 47a. 61., down to 425. for inferior; Archangel, 45e. to 461. per fir. No Rapeseed offering. Linseed Cakes have been in brisk demand; and Hull-made have found buyers from 111. to 111. ss. per too for present delivery, and also for the next mix months. Rape Cakes being scarce, have been sold at 61. 10s. per ten. Peruvian Guano commands a good sale at 91. 10s. per ton. Fine Patagonian, and similar quality, is inquired for. Egyptian pigeon manure is worth 71. ss. per ton. Foreign Imports into Hull daring this week : Linseed, 8,140 qrs.; Itspeseed, 74; Wheat, 1,014; Oats, 4,947; Beans, 1,835; Peas, 305.

LIVERPOOL, Sept. 24.-During the last, and part of the present week, we experienced a succession of high gales of wind and very heavy showers ; bat, with a fow trivial ex ceptions, the corn harvest in this district was previously secured, and in the uerthern parts of the United Kingdom a large portion is reported to have been saved in excellent condition. The rains appear to have fallen beneficially upon the turnips and pastures, and the weather being now fine will enable the farmers to bring the land into proper tillage for the reception of the seed. With their attention thus occupied, the supplies of new grain from the neighbouring growers have hitherto been late ; but an the deliveries will shortly increase, and the late importations of Flour, from which the dealers have freely supplied their wants for some time past, appear to be of too great magnitude for the recent advance to be supported upon even a temporary cessation of demand, the prices of this article as well as of Wheat are again ratl.•er giving way; the demand for Indian Corn, has, however, still kept up, and several more cargoes, tooth in store and afloat, have found buyers within the past two days. The arrivals of grain and Flour from abroad since Tuesday are limited, compared with the large importations noted in our last ; and beyond a few small parcels of Wheat, we have still little of anything to name, either coastwise or from Ireland. Upon a more slender attendance of country buyers at this day's market than of late, and our local millers generally disinclined to purchase, the transactions in W heat were very limited in amount, notwithstanding all descrip tions of foreign were offered at a decline of 3d., and English as well as Irish, new, 4d. to 6d. per 701 b. under the rates of Tuesday. Flour also was taken much less freely than here tofore, and receded in value Is. to 2s. per barrel. Barley sod Malt, being in slow request, barely sustained our lest quotations. Beane were the turn cheaper, and P•ss.re mained unvaried. Oats, coVinuing to come forward vary sparingly, were in good delhand, fully supporting former prices; new Oatmeal, on the contrary, receded Is. per load, whilst in old feeding qualities no change was apparent. La than Corn, although not quite so lively a sale as before, was in fair demand on the full terms last noted; and Corn Meal steadily maintained its previous vain..

Sheep, of which there was an unusually large number, sold heavily, at from sd. to 61d. per lb., being a reduction of 2s. a-head on inferior kinds from the previous markets. EDINBEIREH, Sept. 22.-The fat Cattle market to-day numbered more than the number produced last week. A great many of them were in bad condition, and these declined in value, only the very superior animals bringing previous rates.
