LETrEns from Constantinople. fully to be depended upon, represent the differences between Egypt and the Porte, respecting the Tauzimaut and the rail- road from Alexandruc to Suez, as by no means a n extreme, or so arrogant on the part or the Turkish government, as has been represented. No doubt the Russian and Austrian governments espe cially have informed the Porte, that the framing of a railroad by English engineers through Egypt, would be tantamount to erecting a line of works and manning them with English soldiers. But the Porte it; aware that it is as little the Pasha's interest as its own to make over his country to the foreigner, and that he is in nu wise likely to do an in any military At the same time the Porte is most jealous of pre serving its suzerainty over Egypt within the limits laid down by treaty.

It is quite possible that all this may come to naught almost of its own weakness: and it is more than probable that, even ' if it do not, the military strength of Spain in the island will speedily put down the insurrectionary movement. and so once more postpone a resolution; without, however, letting any of the freebooters and buccaneers that may be taken off so easily this time, as it did on the last. Nevertheless, the position, both internal and ex ternal, of Cuba has become one of great embarrass meut, not only to its own Sovereign, but to all her maritime allies and to Europe generally. It is for the interests of the world that Spain, occupying the geographical position she does, should remain one of the more important of the second-rate powers of ('hristendom ; and Cuba, of course, contnbutes to the maintenance of Spain in that place in the European system, just as Java does to Holland.

With respect to government matters his holiness has been rather indolent of late. His last official acts have been the nomination of Count Balde=chi to the office of delegate of Perugia, in consequence of Monsignor ])Andrea's having given up the functions lof papal commissary extraordinary for the provinces ;of Umbria and Sabina; and the choice of a whole i series of goqfitionicri, or chief magistrates, from !amongst the lists drawn up by the municipal coun cils, and presented for sovereign approbation by Monsignor Savelli, Minister of the Interior.

Private letters which have been received from Berlin bring the information, that the differences between that cabinet and the Austrian government have been settled, and that once more the two will proceed hand in hand on all questions arising in FranktOrt or elsewhere. The manner in which this settlement has been achieved exhibits as usual the cleverness and boldness of the Austrian statesman, and the stupidity and weakness of his Prussian col league. It will be recollected that in a former letter I explitined the reasons which had induced the Prussian government to support the Danish requestfor the evacuation of llolstein, and at the same time to give such a lukewarm support to the Austrian propo positions in Frankfort as induced that government to fear their rejection, and therefore to delay them. Prussia desired to make terms with Austria. The terms sought for have apparently been granted, but as usual the concession made by Austria is only in appemance, and Prussia having gained a sham victory, reposes on her laurels, regardless of the real nature of the struggle. Austria, accedes to the justice of the Danish claim, acknowledges the Duchy of Holstein to be sufficiently " paedi cated," but will take her own time to withdraw her troops. There has been sonic negotiation respecting the feasibility of appointing a single commissioner to watch the proceedings of the Danish authorities, when the government of Holstein shall have been transferred to their hands; but this appointment, together with the exact period when the Austrian troops shall leave the duchy, has been cunningly evaded by Prince Schwarienberg, who has sue ceed,sl in inducing Damn Manteuffel to consent to a stipulation that the evacuation shall not take vice until I kninurk shall have made acceptable proposals respecting the government of the duchy. Even when this event shall have occurred, the Aus trian army is nut to retrace its march further north than I lamburg and Lubeck, where a greater portion of the army of occupation is to remain, prepared to support the Danish government in any emergency. On such terms as these, the fulfilment of which is as uncertain as the language in which they arc couched, Baron llanteutfel withdraws the support which he had given to the Danish memorial in order' to embarrass Austria, and undertakes to assist the' Austrian government in carrying any proposal which it may make to the I het. The important question of the competency of the Diet, which was delayed by this splendid absurdity of Prussia, will therefore, in the course of the ensuing week, he again introduced to the federal assembly. If the minor states remain firm, and resist the treacherous proposals hidden beneath the general question of competency, they um powerful enough to overthrow titian without the aid of Prussia. Perhaps they are more powerful without it than with it, for in the latter case they are certain of not being betrayed. An event somewhat unusual in the gambling watering-places of Germany, occurred at Baden 'laden two or three days ago. A Russian nobleman, an officer in the guards, broke the bank on two suc cessive evenings, pocketing more than 60,000 francs.

She re fused to make any confession, and protested her innocence to the last. The vast number of persons who had assem bled to witness the execution conducted themselves in a becoming manner. - • FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon an in quest was held before Mr. Payne, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body wf Charles Desolva, late a painter in the employ of Messrs. Pontifex, of Shoe-lane, Fleet-street. From the evidence of several of the deceased's fellow work men, it appeared that deceased and another (who still lies in the hospital in a precarious state) were at work on the Ist of August on a scaffold outside Messrs. Poutifes's pre mises, when the scaffold giving way the men fell a height of 34 feet, and were conveyed to the above hospital, where the deceased lingered until Sunday morning last, having had akg amputated on the Saturday. No blame appear ing to attach to any one, the men having erected the scar foid themselves, the jury returned u verdict of " Accidental death." BLACKFRIARS-lIRIDGE.—The works rendered neces sary by the sinking of one of the piers of this bridge are nearly completed, and it is expected that the carriage traffic may be resumed in a few days. The whole of the immense weight of stones and earth over the sunken pier has been removed, together with the heavy walls on either side, thus reducing the bearing on the foundation of the pier by several hundreds of tons. These sukdaiices have been replaced by a strong wooden stage or platform, made by crossing and interlacing of large logs of hard wood, which for their preservation have licen steeped in gas tar and other antiseptic solutions. On the top of this platform a thin layer of concrete has been placed, over which the ordinary pavement will be spread. It is believed by the engineer that this stage will be quite sufficient to bear the weight of any traffic that may pass over the bridge. When the whole is completed there will nut apparently be any change in the bridge, us the works will be entirely ex cluded from the public view, and the stage will be between the ordinary pavement and the crown of the arch. 'the cost of these alterations will not exceed EXTENSIVE FIRES.—DESTRUCTION OF A FACTORY AT ROTHERHITME.—Last evening, shortly before seven o'clock, the vicinity of the pool on both sides of the river, sad even up es far as the City, was lighted up by a tremen dous fire breaking out near the water side at Itotherhithe. The brigade and their engine+ stationed at the different de pots is the metropolis were with all alacrity despatched to the spot, and on the road learned from a mounted policeman who had been forwarded to give the necessary intelligence that the conflagration was raying in the patent fuel manu factory of Mr. Batchelor, situate near the Plough-bridge, is the Lower Deptford-road, between the Commercial Docks and the Thames Junction Line of the London and South Coast Railway. On reaching the scene the tire had a terrific appearance, the whole range of premises, which wavered nearly an acre of ground, being in a blaze. The manufactured fuel comprised a mass of peat and small coal and other substance's. Some of it was in the form of cakes, and steeped in a so lution of aaptha, rosin and tar, of which material there was an enormous stock. Adjacent to the shed in which it was stores!, were the rectifying house and other buildings em ployed in preparing the solution, as also stores of tar, rosin, d.c., altogether forming as inflammable a range of property as could be well conceived. How the fire originated could not be satisfactorily ascertained. The workpeople had leR the place some time in apparent security, when at the time be fore noticed some labourers in the service of Messrs. Hughes, naptha manufacturers, whose premises arc contiguous, ob served a light proceeding from some of the sheds in Mr. Batchelor's factory, and before they bad time scarcely to raise a general alarm, the flames travelled with astounding rapidity and tired the entire building; so that before the brigade could reach the work., the whole of the property was: one general blazing pile. The authorities at the royal dockyard at Deptford promptly sent the engine of the depot to the spot, and on the arrival of the London brigade tinder the direction of Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the district, a vigorous effort was made to subdue the immense flaming mass. Water, however, only seemed to encourage the violence of the flames, and the firemen therefore with drew and directed their operations to preserving the adjoin ing buildings. At ten o'clock last night the fire was still burning, and there was every likelihood of its continuing to rage until the morning The destroyed premises were not insured. ITALY. ROME. .fro. It is really astonishing to see wititwhat perti nacity the papal government carries on measures that must ultimately result in its own ruin. So de termined an eff wt at self-destruction reminds one of what the Duke de Ilohan said of England, in the time of Queen Elizabeth : " Cest un animal si fort quit ne mourra jantais aitne se tuc lui im:•me." The holy see, although not destroyed by the republicans, and upheld by the catholic powers, appears resolved to destroy itself, and one of the most effectual means it adopts is that of filling the provinces with mal contents, who disseminate hatred to the government in every quarter, and will, on the first opportunity, rise in arms against it. Whilst providing, as they imagine, for the safety of the capital, the ceclesias.ti cal authorities do not perhaps consider that they in ! crease the number of their enemies in the provinces, tenfold. Nut a day passes without the police order ing some unfortunate father of a family, established in Rome since childhood, to leave the city at a few hours notice, and abandon his connexions and means of subsistence, in order to return to his birth place, where too often he finds neither friends nor relations left. This plan ruins whole families, and, as I have already observed, increases the number of malcontents in the provinces Imprisonment is ' sometimes substituted for banishment, as in the case of Sigr.or Gregori, who has the reputation of being a perfectly honest man, but who has been kept in gaol, in solitary confinement, for the last fort night, for the heinous crime of not having been born within the walls of Rome, although he was brou6slit ' here at the tender age of twelvemonths, and has been a constant resident for fifty years. The insolence of the sl,irri goes on indliasing in the same measure as the cruelty of their masters, and these myrmidons now parade the streets and enter the enjh and eating•houses in search of non- Romans ; to have been born a few miles from the capital is a sufficient offence for a man to be seized and dragged to prison, thence to be packed off, if he is lucky, to his native home. Thus the holy see, who spiritually opens her arms to the whole world, and rejoices to receive proselytes from the most distant regions, pursues a very aifferent system in temporal matters, and denies even her own subjects the right of visiting or residing at the scat of government. FRANCE. PARIS, \I"EVENING. A rumour of great importance, if well founded, en gages public attention. It is said that ministers, alarmed at the prospect of simultaneous elections throughout France in 1452, and fearing that large masses of the people, disfranchised b e the law of the 31st of Ntay, will present themselves to vote at the polling booths, have resolved that the elections shall take place successively in six departments only at once. This scheme would enable a sufficient body of troops to be collected in any given spot, to enforce the observance of the restricted suffrage of the list of May. The report goes so far as to sac that a commi:sion of general officers is already designated to lay down a plan for the IleCCS sary military combinations. I can hardly believe that such a serious resolution can have been definitively taken so long before the elections. Considering the great probability of ministerial changes after the meeting of the Assembly, and the uncertainty of the turn which the revision debate may take. any such determination must now lie premature. The 'known and expressed opinion of the President that the law of May 31 was applicable only to the Assembly, and not to the election of a president. is also an argument that M. Louis Napo leon would not desire to commit himself on the point before it should be absolutely necessary to do so. flowerer, the report, as I have given it. is very ex tensively credited. In the meantime, it is clear that the President has no power of himself to regulate the elections, a law being necessary for the purpose. Should the Assem bly be disposed to pass any such law, they would have to encounter one of those doubtful questions of interpretation with which the constitution abounds. The 31st article says, "The National Assembly is elected for three years, and is renewed in its integ rity. Forty-five lava, at the latest, berme the end of the legislature. a taw determines the period of the new elections. if no law intervenes within the delay fixed by the preceding paragraph, the electors as semble in their ownrighton the3tithday preceding the end of the legislature." To prove the plan suggested to be legal it will be necessary to show that the ex pression "the period," will bear straining to mean " the period or periods," a construction not very vio lent or unreasonable, but still pregnant with that danger which must ever attend the raising of an ar gument upon the fundamental The Ordrr has consulted several eminent juriscon sults and members of the council of state upon the question, whether the existing decree of banishment against the Orleans family is any legal bar to the eli gibility of the Prince (Josnville) either as President of the Itepublic or as a member of the -Assembly. The re sult of the opinions is published at length this morn ing, not. however, attested by the names of those! who have given them. The opinions are unani mous in holding that the Prince is eligible in both cases. although it is admitted that in either case his election might fail to be effectual if the Assembly, after the election, were to refuse to repeal the decree of b anishment. It is scarcely to be doubted that this opinion is correct. When Louis Napoleon was be Court. OSBORNE, TUESDAY, Amu. 19. The Queen and Prince walked in the grounds early yesterday morning.

ON MONDAY tasT, TOE CIIINEsE FAMILY, recently arrived direct from Caiston by the British ship Lady Peel, visited her Majesty, at Osborne, by the special request of the queen, conveyed through Colonel Phipps. The party consists of a Chinese gentleman, named Chung-Atai, fits two wives, his sister-in-law, and a Chinese female attendant. The three ladies possess the exceedingly small feet, eonsti , luting the peculiar characteristic of the females of the upper ranks in the Chinese empire. The tinnily left London on Sunday afternoon, and sleeping at Itadley'• Hotel at 2.4mth attipton, proceeded to the I -le of Wight by the mail steamer ,in Monday morning, the commander kindly eons-eying his singular passengers to East Cowes, after completing his voyage to West Cowes. The ladies, accompanied by Mr. Chung-Atai. Mr. Crawfonl, who was their fellow-passenger from China, and Mr. Lane, fur many years resident there, proceeded to Osborne, by ter Majesty s desire, at half-past eleven, and were received in the state drawing-room by the Queen, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and each of the younger brandies of the royal family, to whom they were introduced by Mr. Ituumonol, jun., of the firm of Messrs. W. I'. Hammond and Co. The junior wife of Mr. Chung-Atai had the honour of singing to the Queen, whose well-known proficiency as a musician naturally rendered her Majesty desirous ..f hearing the unique performance of the celestial lady. The elder consort of Chung-Atai pre sented her Majesty with a beautiful executed Daguerreo type, by Beard, of the interesting Chinese group ; and the younger lady left with the Prineews Royal a pair of very hantheinne lady's shoes, embroidered in gold by herself, and the exact vise worn by her, vie., 2 inches lung by 1 inch broad, both of which offerings were most graci ously accepted. Ibis Royal Higbee-la Prince Albert, with his proverbial affability, thinking the family would be interested in the numerous plants and flowers of Chinese origin abounding in the garden adjoining the drawing room, conducted his remarkable visitors round the terrace and parterres, her Majesty and the royal children mean while being much amused at the helpless, and certainly in elegant, mode of walking of the ladies, the contortion of their feet effectually preventeng any pedestrian exercises beyond a very short walk. Royal Highness then showed them the splendid encaustic-tiled corridor, and lastly the large picture in the dining-room, representing the family group of our beloved queen send her Royal Consort.

STATE OF TOE WOOD PAVEMENT IN THE NEW ROA 11.—YeAerday, at the meeting of the St. Pancras Board of Guardians ' a sp ec ial messenger from the Royal Mews attended with the following letter :—" (I mmediate.)—Royal Mews, Pimlico, Aug. 19.—Sir,—I am directed by the Master of the Horse to infirm you that on the occasion of the Queen's journey to Scotland on the '27th instant, her Ma jesty will pass from Baker-street along the New Road to the Great Northern Railway, and I have to call your at tention to the dangerous state of the thoroughfare from Button-square to King's-cross, in order that the necessary steps may he taken for putting it in a proper and safe con dition by the day before-mentioned.—l am, sir, your obedt.. servant, G lIOUG E LEWIS, Sec. and Superintendent.—To the Vestry Clerk, St. Pancras Parish."—Mr. Mortimore Timpson moved, and Mr. Stockton seconded, that the New road be forthwith closed, which was carried uuanimoudy; and the vestry clerk was instructed to write to the Master of the home informing hint of the decision of the board, which they were obliged to come to in consequence of the dangerous state of the New-mad. THE TOWER HAMLETS AND Mit. G. TIIOMPAON.— Last evening Mr. Thompwon met a large body of his con stituents of the Shadwell, Wapping, and Itateliff districts, at the Prince's School-room, Rudd', for the purpose of affording explanations upon his recent protracted absence from parliament. Mr. Thompson repeated the statements ' which he lately made on a similar occasion, and reported in the Express, and at the conclusion of his address a re solution was put and carried, expressing the satisfaction of those present with the explanation given. A shilling sub• iscription was also recommended, to form a fund for remu• nerating Mr. Thompson fur his attendance in the house. EHRAW tin error of the press we were yester day made to speak of Mr. Glyn's policy tieing "in some directions too expensive." Now on this subject we are, of course, without materials to form any . sound opinion. What we meant to say was, that it was occasionally too expansive— a point on which there arc ample materials open to the public, on which to come to a conclusion.—Doily Arms. CONFERENCE OF THE NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH. — Last evening an open meeting of the members of this body of Christians was held at Freema.sons'-hall. The object of its promoters appeared to be to bring into prominence the views of truth and duty set forth in the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg, which are also those of the New Jerusalem Church. The mysticism peculiar to these is un favourable to any exposition of them here, were this the place for the attempt. In the addresses delivered last evening more stress was laid upon love than the acknow ledgment of positive doctrine as a test of Christian fellowship, and a broad catholic spirit pervaded the resolutions. The writings of Swedenborg are current throughout Europe and America, their high, philosophical and speculative cha racter procuring them readers independently of their dog matic peculiarities, accordingly the audience and body of speakers represented very fairly the proieut mixed ethno logical character of the population of London. The meeting was addressed by the Revs. Messrs. J.H.Smithson, of Man chester; T. C. Shaw, of London ' • R. Story, of Dublin ; Parry, of Ashton-under-Lyne ; C.Clissold, of Oxford; W. Bruce, of Edinburgh; llaworth, of Salford; and Bayley, of Accrington. The foreign speakers were Baron Dir., chenck liolmfield, of Copenhagen_; Dr. Tufel, of Tubingen ; M. Le Bozo de Quago, of St. Arnaud ; and Mr. Prescott, of j Cincinnati. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT WEST CAMEL.— On Saturday last Miss Fearer, the second daughter of Mr. Fearer, of West Camel, was inadvertently poisoned through having taken arsenic which was prepared for her by her sister for salts; the sum lying sister providentially escaped the same fate; she had likewise mixed a portion for herself, but perceiving the spoon becoming discoloured which was used: for the occasion, it excited suspicion, and the awful mistake was soon discovered. Surgical assistance was im mediately obtained, but to no purpose, death put an end to the sufferings of the unfortunate young lady about ten hours afterwards.— IVestern Flying Ant. IRELAND.

EALTII OF LONDON DURING 'Pi ll : WEEK. (Item the ReitstrAr enerat't Rettlen.) The return for the wtyk ending last Saturday in dicates a further and considerable increase in the mortality. In the Viird week of J uly the deaths in London wf re only 87:,; in the three following they were 916, 1,019, 1,0:K and last week tiny rose to 1,1161. The last number must he con sidered to represent a high mortality even 1.3. r London, where the conditions of health are not the most fivour.thle, and at a period of the year which experience has air. ady shown to be extremely fatal to the young. The deaths of last week were more titan in any of the corresponding weeks of the ten years 1811-50, with the exception of that of 18/7, when they were 1,108, and that of 1819, when cholera raised the total deaths to 2,230. The classification of ages shows that the present increase of mortality ariws from complaints amongst the young: Far of the 1,061 persons who died last week, 463, or more than one half, were not older than 14 years. On referring to the table of fatal causes, it is at once per ceived that the epidemic class contributes in the largest pro portion to the returns of the week, :112 ease., or nearly one third of the total number, being enumerated under this head ; and that diarrhum, which was fatal in 156 eases, is the predominant disease amongst epidemics. The progress of diarrhoea, dysentery, and cholera, is shown by the fol lowing numbers registered under tie -so three heads in the last six weeks, namely, 62, 74, 97, 14.8, 162, and Just week) . . 190. In the Rorough-road sub-district, at 2, Taylor's.place, William-street, on the 13th August, the dauAter 01 a journeyman fur-cutter, aged 5 years, died of '• scarlatina maligns, coma." With reference to this and a former ease, Mr. Elliott, tho registrar, makes the following remarks: "'Taylor's-place comprises three small houses in a yard, the entrance to which is in William-street ; hut there is no thoroughfare. A hey aged 7 years, brotherof the deceased, died in the same house on 2nd August, of remittent fever and pneumonia. The statement of the mother, when giving information on Friday, regarding nal-mesa by which the occupiers have repeatedly Well annoyed, appeared so extraordinary, that I requested that it should be made in writing." With the increase of diarrluca, there has been also during the last Fix weeks an increase of cases of the mere virulent farm of the complaint under the designation "cleilera," the progress of which is shown by its weekly numbers, viz. 9, 8, 12, 12, 16, awl (itt the week ending last Saturday) 28. There also appears an increase of cases amongst persons of mature years, four men having died of cholera at 45 year and upwards, and four women ut 05 years and upwards. Time births of 771 boys and 726 girls, in all 1,560 children, were registered in the week. The average number in silt corresponding weeks of 18 45-40 was 1,308. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.862 in. 'lite mean temperature was 61 . 6 deg., which is 3 degrees above the average of the sante week in ten years. the mean daily temperature was about 8 degrees above the average sit • Tuesday and Wednesday, and was id-o above it on every day of the week except Sunday and Monday. BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND STopit VALLEY RAlLWAY.—Captain .Moorsorn and Mr. Benson, directors of the London and North-Western Company, ac companied by Captain !Wish, general manager, the engi neers, Mr. Branson, and other contractors, yesterday passed along the Stour Valley Hallway from its junction with the jo N i o n ft t h station W o r n f then I h l r ti e d . dt sb s to r y n - a r o n w d , Birmingham r ingh d t o the t ot : e r Valley line in Wolverhampton. The train, which is the first that has run on this railway (through the heart of Bir mingham), consisted of two first-class carriages End a break, and on its way through the iron and mining districts of South Staffordshire—calling at the Smethwick, Oldbury, Tipton, Billiton, and other stations—excited considerable interest and commotion among the inhabitants. Consider able work is yet required to be done before the line is com pleted, but it is uudentood that the opening for passenger traffic will take place in the month of October. f ADULTERATION Or GREEN TEA . The result of the Lancet investigations respecting the adulteration of black tea, which was lately published, and the con elusion arrived at was, that the great bulk of black tea reached the consumer in a pure state, and particularly eongou and souchong ; the result of the inquiries respect ing green tea, however lead to a more unsatisfactory con clusion, for there is a very strong reason to believe, not withstanding the evidence to the contrary, that there really ' exists no such thing as " genuine green tea." Thirty sam ples of green, on importation from China, were clammed, and there was not a single leaf in any of these simples which had not received its green colour by artificial means, and the materials used in the colouring process were shown to consist of Prussian blue, mineral green, verdigris, arse nice of copper, l)utch pink, chromate of potash, be.-chro mate of potash, chrome yellow, chalk, gypsum. and soap stone or French chalk, some of which are calculated to have an highly injurious effect upon the human frame, and some of a poisonous nature. This state of things would best be remedied by the reduction of the duty on tea.
