His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine • is expected in this capital about the middle of next month, and as soon as the Emperor returns from Mos cow, he will accompany his Majesty to Warsaw, where his Coronation as King of Poland will take place. It is not known whether the Empress Alexandria will accom pany his Majesty to Warsaw. We expect in a few days the positive answer required by our Court, respecting the hostile invasion of our territory by Persian marauders, who, as we bear, continue to advance. ST. PETERSSURGH, Ssminsma 99. 29th.— His Maje4y has granted the request of Prince Wolchonsky to be allowed not to enter on his functions as Minister of the Imperial household till his health shall be perfectly recoveted ; Prince Gallitzin acts for him in the interim. The last accounts received from General Yermoloff, remove all doubts respecting the hostile intentions of the Persian Court towards us. The 29th August (10th Sept.) Gen. Yermoloff trans mitted the following details to the Chief of his Majesty's staff. The enemy occupied Elisabethpol, and a part of his cavalry bad advanced to the station of Schem sehadel, where it had joined about 2000 of the revoked inhabitants, and a troop of cavalry from Erivan, sent by Prince Abbas Mirza, with Alexander Cyarewitsch, of Georgia, who had gone over to him to excite a revolt in Cakhetia. Major Gen. Prince Madatoff, who was posted on the river Axtapha with a detachment, crossed it during the night to surprise the enemy; but on approaching at day-break the position they had occupied, he found that they bad decamped, and perceived their columns posted on the heights. A battalion and a few cannon shot dislodged them ; but the General having but few horse men. could not follow up his advantage. However, the Armenians inhabiting the neighbouring villages, in tercepted a body of the fugitives. ldestapha, formerly Khao of Scherevan, who placed himself at the head of the insurgents, sul►ported by the Persian cavalry, had made himself master of the village of Axa, but has been expelled from it with loss by General Krabbe. Sourkhai, formerly Khan of Kazchoumyk, sent by Abbas Mimi. could not penetrate int• his ancient do minions, thanks to Major• General Asian, Khan, who, faithitil and devoted to Russia, has sent us his eldest son, with a reinforcement of 300 horse. The inhabitants of Akouschine, far from listening to the perfiiious insinuations of Abbas Mirza, have sent to General Yermoloff the proclamation by which he excited them to revolt. Abbts Mitzi has completely failed in his attempts to excite a revolt in Dagt.e,tan The Sardar of Erivan, whe expects with consider- able fame the arrival of Abbas itlitza, has hitherto remained inactive. Tne Pers ans retain at Erivan our Ambassador, Prince Mutzikott, and all the persons belonging to his embassy, as well AS those of the preceding mission, and all intercouve with them is nue, ruyted. The accounts from lo•cow, dated the 224 of September, contain orals particulars at ktes, tbeatrkal representations, &c. r THE HAIM. Ociona We bare the following particulars from Gromingen: Twelve workmen in a salt manufactory were taken ill and died. With much difficulty the owner procured tWelve others, but those were also taken ill, and nine of them are dead. No attendants for the sick can now be , had for money. Eight Professors of the Academy are ill, and almost all the students. Divine Service cannot be performed in one of the Churches, because the clerk and the organist are ill. Notwithstanding . all this, the dead are still interred in the Churches. In Friesland the state of things is no better, though at Leeuwarden it is most favourable. In the village of Woudseuh, which has a population of a thousand souls, there were not a hundred in health at the date of the last accounts, and it was difficult w find sufficient hands to bury the dead. Many villages have been destitute of medical assistance for weeks, and the sick of the lower classes coveted Kith rags, languish in want of every ne cessary, longing for a draught of water to alleviate the heat of the fever, and see their children dying round them for want of food. Heaven grant relief to all this misery. Considerable subscriptions have been raised in vs clout parts of the kingdom for the relief of the distressed. BERLIN, OcTone 7.

The Cork Mail•coach, on its way to Limerick, broke down on Tuesday, about two miles from that town. The accident was occasioned by the fore axleeree giving way, and the coach Was prevented failing over by the strenuous exertions of the passengers. Fortunately none of them received any injury, and Captain Don; of the 24th Regiment, son of General Sir Cuanza Dorm, who was on the coach, immediately mounted one -of the hones and rode to Limerick with the mail,which be delivered in safes at the Post-oSce. AODIDENT IN BARTHOLOMEW CLOSE.—FURTHIR PA R .ncut.a as.—On entering the eastern end of the building on Saturday, a most terrific appearance presented itself; the space that had fallen in comprehending an extent of 45 feet in length by 24 wide, and that only a sixth part of the floors which are above the first. The extent of damage Is estimated at from ‘2,000 to .02,500. The occasion of the portion of Boor giving way was, that the man in charge of the men employed to stow the corn, deviated front his instructions, and allowed it to be piled twice the depth Mr. Sherman had ordered it, thus occasioning a pressure beyond the power of the floor to bear. There were between 2 and 3,000 quarters of Oats strewed in the several lofts, about 800 quarters of which were placed upon that part which was carried down. There were five stage coaches, and two waggons on the ground floor at the time of the accident, two of which are entirely destroyed, and the other three very considerably damaged. These live were a part of the number entphyed in the journey from London to Newcastle, under doe name of • Wellington. There has been every we ek uf late a decided tendes:Cy to amendment. The demand for cloth has been great, and as there is a short supply in the market, nothing but the fear of overdoing the quantity required has prevented greater activity among the ma. nufacturers.—Snatkpent Advertiser. ‘VENTWOR ill AND Co.'s DIVIDEND.—Friday, the Commissioners under the Commission of Bankruptcy awarded against Messrs. We:limos/a and Co. of the Wakefield, York, and Bradford Batiks, assembled at the Court-House, in Wakefield, pur suant to public notice, to announce the first dividend under this Commission. The Meeting commenced at eleven o'clock, at which hour a considerable number of creditors, who had not already proved their debts, bad assembled. The claims so far exceeded all former e xpectation, as to render the dividend much less than was at Mat hoped for. It is now rumoured, that 45. at Wakefield and Bradford, and 3a. 4d. at York, will be the whole of the present dividend. CORONER'S INQUESTS. Sstorday a Coroner's Inquest wai held at St. Bar thOtorisew's Hospital, before TlioilAs SueL,iow, Esq. on the body of Henry Ilotterill, who came by his death under the following melancholy circumstances: Mr. Collins, a tobacconist, residing in St. John.street, stated, that the deceased had been in his employ about six months as a. labourer, and during which time he had been subject to fits. On Friday afternoon he was assist ing witness in brewing, and while in the act of stirring the liquor in the mash tub, he was seized with a fit, and immediately fell backwards into a cask of boiling water. Witness got him out in less than a minute, and on taking off his clothes, found thelower part of his body was scalded in a dreadful manner. He was placed in a coach and conveyed to the above Hospital, but expired before his arrival there. Thomas Wyse, the Surgeon, who examined him, stated that his death was occasioned by the severe injuries he had received. Verdict, Acci dental-Death. "Satioday, an Inquisition took place at the Ship and Mermaid, *ow's Sado, Bermondsey, touching the death of Richard Burn side.—TheJury having been sworn, accompanied by the Coroner, were about to view the body, when the beadle informed them that the body was soldered in a leaden coffin, inclosed in a wooden one. The Coaoaxa ordered the beadle to cause the coffin to be opened, and a surgeon to be sent for to examine the body. Stephen Wilson sworn—l reside four doors from the deceased, I have known him about three years. I and my wife occasionally attended on him; the last time I saw him alive, was on Tuesday ' evening ; late on Wednesday evening, I went to the decemed's room door, and knocked several times; but received no answer; and having heard the deceased say, that a Mr. Gibbs was his exe cutor, I went to him, and informed him of my suspicions, that the deceased was dead; in about half an hour, Mr. Gibbs and his man servant arrived at the deceased's house; an entrance was effected through the window into the deceased's room. WiWam Heekerly, servant to. Mr. Gibbs, sworn—When I entered by the window, I saw the deceased lying on the bed ; blood and froth were oozing am his mouth. I spoke to him, but be did Doi answer • I then felt his body, end it ens guile wean ; my master was at the door ; no surgeon was seat for. Cipaossa-.-What the body warm, and neither you nee your muter went for a m edicali Gentleman ? Witness--I shook him by the hand, but he did not answer. a Juror.—Pray,who is Mr. Gibbs, that we hear so much about ? Witness—Mr. Gibbs is an independent Gentleman ; he is exe cuter to the deceased. Juror—ls there say ether executor? Witness—Yes, a Mr. Thornton, an undertaker, in the Borough; my master sent me to him. Conousa—(with surprise and indignation)—What ! send for an undertaker before you sent for a Doctar, and that too, while the body was warm? Juror—Whoa did you see the deceased last? Witness—On Wednesday night. Juror—When was be alined in lead ? *ituess—Early on Thursday. Juror—Who is the undertaker? Witness—Mr. Thornton, the other executor. Juror—When you went into the room you found the bed-clothes on the deceased ? Pray what has become of them? Witness—Oh, my wife was ordered to remove them to West minster, to be woshed. Juror—Pray what money was found in the room—bow much, and what became of it? Witness—There was money found hi the mom, but bow muck I aannot say—nor can I swear poddve wins and by wham ft was removed.' Juror—Now, Sir,on your oath, did not a Gentleman, an acquaint ance of the deceased, knock at the door, which was opened by you, and request permission to be present at the examination of the body, and did not you shut the door in his face? Witness—l did: such were my orders. Juror—Were not the executors to the deceased also executors to another relation who died lately? Witness.—They were. I believe there are two relations living. Henry &eny, Esek surgeon, deposed—He was present at the opening of the coins, and had examined the body t but it was in such a state of decomposition, be could not tell the cause of his death. The Conosza addressed the Jury, who, after some deliberation and various comments on the strange con duct of the executors, the disappearance of the property, and of the linen, there being nothing to warrant the be lief that the deceased came to his death by •iolence, brought in a verdict of le Died by the ♦isitation of Gun."

A Meeting of the Shareholders of this Company was held at flAtson's Coffee House, Cornhill, on Saturday. Mr. BAILEY rose and said, that previous to the com. mencement of the business of the day, he thought it ne. cessary to have a paper signed by all present, expressin g their dissatisfaction at the proceedings of the original projectors of this Company, as such were the terms of the advertisement convening the meeting. A Susscatsaa objected to such a proceeding, although he w as net pleased with the conduct pursued by the Directors. Mr. BAILEY said that he had paid SOL per share on all the shares be held in the Company, and was a great sufferer by the ill management of the Company. He had demurred to ao additional call of 21.105. per share, and the present meeting was designed to consist of such Proprietors only as participated in his feelings of dis• content. It was impossible to say whether the majority of persons present had any interest whatsoever in the concern, if they refused to tell their names, or to state the amount of their claims. The Gentleman assured Mr. Bailey that he held se. fetal shares, and was a loser by them to a considerable amount. As a matter of courtesy, he had no objection to declare his name, which was Foss. On the motion of Mr. T. Moxox, Mr. Bailey was don called to the Chair. Mr. W. CLARK said it was anticipated that some friends of the Directors would attend for the purpose of thwarting the endeavours of those who called the meet ing, and therefore the advertisement was so framed as to exclude all but those who were dissatisfied with the con duct of the managers. None others were invited, and therefore none others had a right to be present. The CHAIRMAN said, that if further opposition were offered, the legitimate members of the meeting would be under the necessity of retiring to another room. Mr. Foss asked by what right Mr. Clark attended ? and being answered that he appeared as a scrip holder, he denied that- there , was any such thing as a scrip , holder in the Company. He had no personal objection to Or. Clark, but seeing that he had no valid inteiest in the concern, he felt bound to insist on his exclusion. _ _ Mr. CLARK argued that he had a sufficient interest to warrant his attendance. He had purchased sh 4 yes, but the Directors, availing themselves of the terms of the deed, refused to transfer them to his name. Thus he became a loser in the sum of 161. unless the Directors were compelled to do him justice. They excluded bins from their meeting, and resisted the transfer which he claimed, because he could throw an inconvef,ient light on their transactions; though the limiting clause of the deed was only meant as a guard against the admission of improper persons. Such a rejection was c4lculated to fix a stain on the character of the individual who was the object of it, and it was surely but fair to afford him a hearing in order to his vindication. He was re jected at the Meeting of the Directors, and now Mr. Foss would not allow him to remain as one not called by the Directurs, for the purpose of :hewing the iniquity of the sentence.— (Hear, hear ! ) He now called on the Meeting to say whether they would support him or not, and whether they would insist on his admission into the Company ? _ . . . Mr: Mosou said it might save time to decide by a vote whether Mr. Clark was to be allowed to attend, and also whether Mr. Con was to enjoy a similar privilege. After a very irrelevant and stormy contest, it was at length car ried by a majority that Mr. Clark should be suffered to remain and take a pert in the discussion. When it was proposed that Mr. Cort also should be permitted to remain, several Shareholders were loud in their objections to such ' an arrangement. A Sumuntocuaa asked Mr. Cort whether he had settled his ac couuts with the Company ? Mr. COHT referred the inquirer for a triumphant an• swer to his question, which he would find in his letter to the Proprietors that day published. He would there see the whole account stated, and also the mason why some of the items had not been passed. He had re signed his situation in the Company, because of the re sistance with which he met when he attempted to point out the ruinous effects of the conduct of some of the Managers, and because he was not .allowed to discharge his duty to the Shareholders. Mr. Foss—May I ask you, Mr. Cort, was a person named Baker, a clerk of yours? Mr. C.—He was, Sir. Mr. - F.—Was Baker at Congreaves? Mr. C.—l have heard as much, and I regret it. While be was with me I had no complaint to make of him; but I have since learned that he offered himself to Mr. Philip Taylor. A Suasanowas—Are you not under a prosecution of the Corn. pony, for charging what you ought not to charge. One of the items, I understand, is a suit of livery for Mr. Con's groom ? Mr. Cont.—These questions are obviously put with a design to cast an imputation on my character, and that too by persons who are at the same time attempting to deprive me of the means of entering upon my defence, or meeting the calumny by a plain refutation. The motive and the act are both equally evident and credit able. As to the item alluded to, I can explain it.—By Mr. P. Taylor's permission, I kept 4 horse, which was, in fact, es , ential to the discharge of my duty, under the circumstances in which I was placed . ; and this very ob jectionable item was merely the charge for a j cket, with which I furnished a poor boy who had charge of the horse. If the Company allowed me a hor,e, surely I was not to bear any of the expenses incidehtal to his keeping. A SHARKHOLDER—No more, Sir—no more. We are hot enquir. ins whether you were personally right or wrong. It is tnuugh that you are at issue with the Directors. The Meeting then divided on the question of Mr. Curt's privi• lege to remain, which was lost by a majority of ten to nine. Mr. Moxox here moved an adjournment, which being carried, the meeting separated, without discussing any part of the business for WiliCb it was enlivened. Yesterday morning, as Mr. Francis, of Newington, was riding at a fast trot near Croydon, the bore sisLi• doily tipped, atid fell. Mr. Francis wa, t‘rown m r .Js head with great vi.,lence, and we Are sorry t lie now lies in a dani.terous ktate, his collar-bone tictilg !ractureJ, and his boJy dreadfully bruised.
