Tar Corner de Sokyrtee of 60th August, contains a pretty long article on the intentions of the three Powers, parties to the Treaty of London of 6th July, 16i7. The Journalist considers the French expedition to the Morea, which was resolved upon in London, the King's Speech in proroguing the British Parliament, the full powers given to the Ambassadors in the Archipelago to negotiate with the Porte, and various other circumstance., as pewits that the Powers are firmly resolved that the Treaty shall be tarried into effect..... 'Their only object is to restore peace to a country desolated by seven years' war, to compel the Greeks as well as the Turks to preserve that tranquillity necessary fur all parties, and in introduce an orga elution, which will be a pledge of security for the Porte itself. The expedition is therefore not hostile. The Convention concluded at Alexandria removes most of the diScokies. Ibraltim's army re turns homed—the contest in :he lima is ended—the deliverance of Greece is accomplished—and the main object of the Treaty of London attained. The writer proceeds to show, that the dignity of the Porte is perfectly compatible with the recognition of the freedom of Greece —that all the Powers, including Austria, are of one opinion on this subject—and that the acceptance of the Treaty of 6th July, la eit this moment one necessary condition towards the preservation and civilization of Turkey. " May the Sultan," so the writer coo• eludes, " not deceive himself. Concessions on his side will rather increase than weaken his power, since he will thereby satisfy public •pinion, wbkh is now the greatest powst."—/iiessiare mote Gas.

It seems pretty certain that animal food is not r ecee sary to sustain either the health or vigout of the human body. The Arabs of the Red Sea, who live, with little exception, on dates and lemons, carry burdens of much greater weight than can be borne by Europeans; and the Afghan, whose sole aliment is bread, curdled milk, and water, and who inhabits a climate which often produces in one day the extremes of beat and cold, undergoes as touch fatigue, anti exerts as moth strensth, as the London coal heaver, who lives on beef and porter. • I once," says a late traveller in Italy, “ asked a Neapolitan fisherman to sit for nie to paint him.

Mr, KEAN appeared last night, for the first time this' season ) in the character of Richard the Third, to a crowded and elegant audience. He was received on, his entrance with the most unbounded applause. It will be unnecessary at this time of clay to analyze the performance of Mr. KEAN in this character. It is well known, and duly appreciated. Those genuine bursts of teeling, and those exquisite flashes of genius, which so amply compensate for the absence of a more finished ezhNtion of the crook-backei Tyrant,were, last night, most eminently displayed. The impasssioned manner in which he called tor his horse—the taunt- ings which he gave bay Anne, and the severe and sat cask manner in which he treated Buckingham, were well pouttr ayed, and elicited repeated bursts of applause. In tl e dying scene he was peculiarly great. Mr. C. liarttaLE played Riehmoid with considerable animation. With respect to the Ladies, LACY made her first ap t earance tor three years, in the character of Quest Elizabeth—a character which does not call forth any particular traits of excellence in an actress, but' Miss LACY petfoimed it with a correctness and ploptiety which entitled her to consideration, and the skildience, in consequence, testified their applause. The gentle Lady A,s.ie was enacted by Miss JARMAN, who, in what.' eve, she dots, plays with judgment and di•crimina. nen. In this character, which s.cureJ the Tyrant's attentions, though the Laity Was avene to his advances, MiiSJA SMAN evinced much feeling, dignity, and pathos. Upon the whale the play was act cast.

The statue of Iris MAJESTY was placed On the pedes tal within the enclosure sf the northern cothpartment of the Steyne yestes day. at precisely two o'clock in the Afternoon, when a merry peal was rung from the ve nerable tower of St. Nicholas. The lawn was thronged with all sank: and descriptions of people yesterday until night-fall ; and the multitude to-day has increased in a tenfold degree, with the Band of the 10th Hussars to add to the pleasures of the sethe.The statue represents his MA JESTY in his robes of State, with the right arm partially extended. The figure is admirably f rimed; the likeness is per feet; and in the graceful and commanding ani tude chosen, the majestic deportment of the SOY cairns is beautifully preserved. The lends of the robes, and the tassels which ornament them, hate a fine effect; and the right font, the extremity r f which projects a little beyond the margin of the pedestal, also the leg and knee, which the flowing draperies disclose, are skilfully proportioned. The open head of the extended arm is well executed, ani the toad eimemble is imposing and grand. The statue is of bronte, weighing perhaps three toss, standing nine fret from the surface of the pedestal, which rises ten feet from the ground, the ex treme altitude being thus nineteen tents EAST AND WEST INDIA TRADE. The East and West India Trades have, is the first three quarters of the present year, been much more ac tive than in the cerresponding quarters of last year. The increase in the imports of East India produce has been most remarkable. Of Indigo 30,950 chests have arrived, against IS 020 up to the same period lal year. The increase in the import of East India cotton have been 7,000 bale-, of coffee 13,000 bags, of Mauritius sugars 112,000 bags, of rice 21,000 bags, of raw silks 1,400 bales, of ginger 4,400 bags; and of cloves 1,000 bags. The imports of saltpetre ate 7,000 bags fess than last year, of . pepper 44,000' b..gs, of cinnamon 7,300 bags, and of sugars (not Mauritius) 27,000 bags. Of West India Sugars the importation this year has been 138,847, hhds. and tierces, being 20000 hhds. mere than atrived in the fist three quarters of last year. The stock of coffee is nearly equal. of rum 28,212 pun. and of cotton from 5.000 to 6,000 hales more than last year. West India sugars are ltom 9, to 10s. per cwt. lower than in last October, and coffee the same. Rum bears about the same value. East India coffee, rice, saltpetre, indigos, and saw silks are higher, while spices generally are lower than at this period last year. AWFUL EVENT. A let►er from Hussein (Piedmont). dated the 136 September, gives the fellow ing details respecting the dreadful effect of lightning in a neighbouring commune: " Yesterday, the 14th tint thi y celebrated Mass in the chapel of Roncole, rimmed in the middle of an ea., tensi re meadow. About three o'clock in the day, soon alter they bad commenced Vespers, a violent storm arose, and the lightning striking the choir of the chapel killed four priests and two seculars. The Archpriest of Frescarolo, aged sixty, was struck dead, but appeared sitting in the attitude of one who meditated. Near him. they found upon the earth the Archpriest of Seinotiva, aged fifty, without any exterior vo und ; also a tailor. of the age of thirty•sia. They found likewise, near tt , e door of the choir, an individual whose appearance was that of a man stir% had died quietly. By the side of the pulpit lay extended on the earth the Archpriest of Spigaralo, blackened; his fate, hands, and hair burnt ;I his clothes were in rags. Near the body appeared that of tire Cure of Roncole, in a sitting posture; the coun tenance cif): eased great pain and suffering, but no wound was visible. " According to the evidence which has been col lected, they did not ring the bells at the moment of the awful event: A Quebec Paper of the 11th ult. contains the Pro clamation of Sir J. kasset.on assuming the Guertinbent of Lower Canada, on the tub of September.

SINGULAR PEOPLE AND PLACE OF RESIDENci For some years part a number of vagrants, varying from thirty to sixty, inuleding both setts, have taken up their permanent abode in one of the caves at Covesea, allots five miles to the northward of Elgin. There is something alike peculiar in the manners of these people, anJ in the place which they have chosen for their resi. dence. There are cot olio points of resemblance between them and the ordinary race of Gypsi:s who perambu late the South; but there are so many points of differ ence beta ern them and the latter as to convince us than they do nzt belong to that species of twosfooted ani mals-.-if we may use the expression: So far as we have been able t ascertain, they engage ire no kind of cam coerce, not even in mending unewellas, pots pans, or any of the thousand and ons riveters:l nor do they make any pre tensions to the sometimes profitable profe s sion of fortune telling. They traverse the surrounding country in clusters of from three to four, besides the children, most probably in rotation, for the purpose of begging; and when not sufficiently successful in that honourable vocation, they make no scruple to irrl (steal) a few hem or other domestic fowls. fir the good of the community who occupy Hell's Molt—the expressive epithet by which their place of residence is designated. In their perambulations through the country they are invariably accompanied by one or two of that Weedy erratum— ', the ass; with perhaps three or lour children inserted in pouches on each side of the animal. The organ of ab straction must be largely developed in one and all of their upper stories; for they are the most celebrated tlaseveuwe have ever beard of, and we have no doubt hot poor Re) nard is blamed for taking ninny a good fat hen which finds its way to their Royal Den.— We must, however, du them the justice to say, that the delinquency of stealing is the (mit one we have knows to be preferred against them, always excepting a di.: position to get half seas over when they can manage to raise the wind. la the indulgence of their abstract ing propensities, however, they display considevable philosophy; for they invariably play off their light fingered tricks at a distance of some miles from the place of their abode, by which means the farmers and others in the immediate vicinity, so far from presenting any complaint against them to the cord authorities. consider them in the light of good natured, harmless neighbours. We have not been able to ascertain to what country they belong, although, judging from their pronunciation, we strongly suspect them to be of Irish origin; nor have we succeeded in learning by what means they became acquainted with their pre sent situation. Their place of residence. all thibgs considered, is certainly the most singular one which we have ever seen. The entrance to the cave is from the west, and opens into a large amphitheatre, well sheltered, and where their asses find plenty of grass. In a fine sunshine day, dozens of them may be seen sleeping and basking in Sol's rays; and lots of weans may be seen scrambling about, while here and there you witness a few particles of clothes, if they may be so called, prying in the sun after being steeped in water—washing them is out of the question. The cave in which this singular people live is an etcavation by Nature out of a huge mass of rock, about twenty Meet broad and thirty feet high at its entrance, gra dually getting lower and narrower as it proceeds back ward to a very great distance. In its remoter dis trict there is nothing but perpetual " darkness visible. * It is a singular scene, even in the day time, to witness a group of thirteen or 1( urteen biped animals sluing on the ground, near the mouth of the cave, round a fire, into which they at intervals throw whin bushes,- which getting up into a blaze shows their physiognomies to advantage in all their 1 6 'rations hues; " while those in he back ground ate lying on straw in groups of three and firer, with an old blanket or cloak above them, and ranged on each side of the cave so a, to leave a free pas sake. there being no other outlet fir the smoke of their fires than the entrancel of the cave ; and from its situa tion there is scarcely ever any wind to carry it off; which gives the place a most singular appearance.
