The Governor at Smyrna has been dismissed on the demand of Austria for signal reparation, in consequence of the death of Baron Adelburg, who lately fell in a popular commotion. The dispute arising out of this circumstance is now arranged as far as Austria is concerned ; but the captain of the American ship-of war at that port had threatened to take active mea sures against the Austrian brig, for seizing upon M. Costa, who it seems was provided with an American passport. The matter had been referred to the French Consul-General. Serious disturbances have taken place at Adria nople and in some localities of the province of lsmidt. The Christians have been molested, and the Government was compelled to take energetic measures toSpreserve order. UNITED STATES. The New York papers last received are p►incipally occupied with dreadful accounts of a hurricane and hailstorm that occurred on the Ist inst. Three men were killed and several others injured; besides which, the havoc committed in the overthrow of buildings and the destruction of corn crops was immense. Some of the hailstones measured three inches in length. The boiler of the steamer New World exploded on the same day, by which two men were killed instan taneously, and others were so much injured that they were not expected to live. The heat in New York was extremely oppressive, and business, in consequence, almost at a stand-still.

" I regret to at to to you keility that this double attempt has noliappily been vain. "The Porte, as you will men by the necempiulying letter of Ileneltid Paella, has given to that which 1 hail addressed to hint a negative, or at lewd tin evasive, answer.

IN consequence of the absence from town of our common and respected friend Gm's, who has left. Lomita' to recruit his exl misted energies, you lutist he content to receive the report of this week's doings in the gay world from one who, though equally familiar with such scenes, is far less able to describe anti comment upon such features of our society as are worthy of notice. This week has not been very fertile in festivity. Many people have left town, and, as we have now reached the middle of July, the sea son may be said to be almost drawing to a close. Another three weeks, and the Londoner will be able to "moralise the spectacle" of deserted Rotten-row, and silence reigning west of Bond-street. Even this dull state of things is to a reflecting mind not with out its practical lesson. To me there is a sort of poetry in rows of closed window-shutters, and streets "exempt from public haunt," which is highly sugges tive of the effect of time on all human actions anti sometimes even a consolation in days of disappoint ment. But I am wandering from my subject. On MONDAY the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton gave a grand dinner to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Mary, followed by a concert, at which Grisi, Mario, and Ronconi were the principal singers. The same evening Lady Rolle gave a concert at her house in Upper Grosvenor street, at which a selection of music was performed by Mesdames Viardot anti lhosio, and Messrs. Oar doni, Belletti, and F. Lablache. On TUESDAY Madame Waloska's reception was very brilliant. The Neapolitan lad, Mattel, was pre sent, and fully maintained the reputation lie has ac quired as an infant (perhaps youthful would be a more appropriate term) phenomenon. On WEDNESDAY Holland-house was again thrown open, anti the attendance of the invited of all nations was numerous. The Neapolitan ac►luarolo was once more an object of great attraction, and as the wea ther, though rather threatening in the morning, cleared up in the afternoon, there was nothing to pre vent the guests from enjoying themselves to the ut most. A grand ball was given at the Admiralty by Lady Graham in the evening, and was most fully at tended. On Turnsmy Lady Truro's charming house in Eaton-square was enlivened by the presence of a brilliant assembly. M. Jules Lefort attended, and sang a variety of French romances. THIS MoRNING Lady Howard gave her second morning party at Fulham. Everything was first rate except the weather. Next week we are promised balls by Mme. leredo and Lord l'owis. Lady Jersey also gives a party on Monday ; but of this, from mine or some other more able band, you shall duly receive a report. Friday evening. I'~ssti-renrot r.
