FRANKFORT, NOVEMBER 50. In the Sitting of the Diet of the 21st inst. (which tras a confidential one), the Saxon Minister, Von Car lowitz, who presided in the absence of Count Iluel khauenstein, laid before them a letter from Prince Metternich, expressing the wish of the Imperial Court, that the first formal Sitting after the prorogation re solved upon on the .10th July, may be deferred till the 6th or 7th of December, by which time the Aus tin Minister, who is President, would arrive from Vienna with instructions relative to the matters to be discussed by the Diet in the first Sitting. It was accordingly resolved, that the first Sitting shall be an the ith of December. VIENNA, NOVEMBER 23. It is thought here that the irruption of the Persians iota Turkey is of little importance, especially as it is pretended that the Persian Prince who entered Ar menia with a corps, has undertaken this enterprize against the will of his father, who is said to have formerly declared this son disobedient, and -- leurper. ODESSA, NOVEMBER 9. A few days since we received information that the Persians had invaded Asiatic Turkey. It made a great sensation here, and our Greeks see in it the downfall of the Porte. We have news from Con stantinople to the 2d of November. The Sultan had caused an the Persians in the city to be thrown into Prim A part of the Janissaries were ordered to Asia, to be employed against the Persians ; and Tatars are sent to Epirus to recal the Pacba commanding against Ali, the Sultan having, it is said, appointed him to the command against the Persians and the Pachalick of Erzernm.

WHOM THE PHILADELPHIA NATIONAL GAZETTE.. e have in our hands two numbers (one the 7th, the other the 12th September) of the Brazilian News paper, published at Bahia, and called The Golden Age of Thazil. It breathes an ardent constitutional spirit, and denounces, in strong language, particular Pablic Officers who were accused of expressing opi- LOl3 advers! to the new system. 4 ' The horrid ' cabals and machinatiOns of the dreadful despots at Ihe Court of Rio Janeiro," are also mentioned with indignation. The Paper of the 12th September says, " We see the most remote parts of Brazil giving signs of the highest satisfaction at our political rege neration. It is necessary that persons of known pro bity and information be chosen to govern in the re mote parts of the Brazils ; and let not places be given to men who have already ruined the nation, and would ruin it again if authority were left or entrusted in their hands." EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM WASHINGTON, DATED NOVEMBER 6. " Preparations are making here for the meeting of Congress, which will be in less than a month. The grand electioneering campaign, it is said. will be opened as soon after the meeting as time will afford, for feeling the pulses of the Members, a large pro portion of whom are new ones. The prominent can didates for :he next Presidency, now spoken of, being on the spot, a pretty active canvass is expected. It is intimated that many of the incumbents in office, some of whom have held lucrative appointments firm fif teen to thirty years, will be invited to fold up their robes, and retire with decency. The President, it is suggested, will readily hearken to the general voice." EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM HAVANNAH, OCT. 16. " There were some disturbances a.. the Election in La Salud (outside the gates), and the troops charged with ball, preparatory to resist or rather put down popular commotion.

The alarm was immediately given, and every exertion instantly. made to recover the body, which has since been continued, but without success. SHOCKING ACCIDSNT.—This morning, a young man employed at 349, Strand, the corner of the boz entrance to the English Opera House, in cementing the front of the house, fell from the scaffold, a height of two stories, and was so dreadfully hurt that he died a little before eleven o'clock, while conveying to the Middlesex Hospital.

Our highly-respected Lord Lieutenant, the Earl of EGREMONT, leaves us tO-11101T0w, for his seat, at Petworth. The Earl of BtZTIVZ is among the fashionable sojourners at the Old Ship Tayern. WESTMINSTER HALL. It has already been stated in the Papers, that there was some dispute as to the Lord Great Chamberlain of nigland's claims to the Coronation property in Westminster Hall, which ac couLted for the non-removal of the Royal table, the galleries, &c. but the KING has lately signed the warrant, authorising Lord Gwvova, the acting Lord Great Chamberlain, to take down the various temporary structures in and about Westmin ster Hall, erected for the purposes of the Coronation, and to re moie and dispose of the same. Lord Gwvnva, and Dosser Fur.owss, Esq. his Lordship's Secretary, were, at the time that the authority was signed, in Paris; but they immediately re turned to London to superintend the removal and disposal of the various property, and to give directions regarding the arrange ments for his Maarorr to open the Parliament in person. On Wednesday the whole of the Coronation property in and about Westminster Hall, was sold for Lord Govern, by Mr. D. FICLLOW/CS, to Mr. Nos, in ode lot; and Mr. Pesos imme diately set an immense number of men to work, aided by numerous caravans, to take down and remove the property so purchased. The grand chandeliers, &c. in the Hall were first removed ; but Thursday was chiefly occupied with clearing the Old House of Lords, the Painted Chamber, &c. which were literally filled with tables, forms, and various wood and frame work, which had been used in the several dining-rooms, as well as to make arrangements for the ingress, egress, and comfort of the visitors. The Royal table, with he splendid coverings in WeenaMbse Hall, is already removed; and the throne, seat, canopy, &e. see being taken down. The splendid drapery, with the Royal coat' of arms, &c. will be retained by Lord OWTDVIL ; and his Lordship has given directions to have the whole Axed at the end of his dining-room, at his Lordship's residence in Hamilton-place, Pie. cadilly. O n being conveyed thither, it was ascertained that for tunately the drapery would fit without requiring to be cut. It will be made to constitute something like a national as well as a splendid decoration of the Lord Great Chamberlain's town mansion. Fronting this Coronation-drapery will be placed his Lordship's sideboard, surmounted and decorated with the various portions of plate received as Coronation services by his Lord. ship's family for several hundred years; and the most prominent parts of what will thus constitute a rich as well as a simpler display, will be the 300 ounces of plate, besides a gold ewer, Ma Lordship's reward for his arduous services at the late Coronado. The beautiful gilt cornice which surrounded the canopy of the throne-seat, and which was tastefully decorated with the rose, the thistle, and the shamrock, has fallen to the share of D. Fmurwes, Esq. who has presented the same to his brother. This will be converted into cornices for window-curtains at Mr. F.'s brother's new residence, at Handhy. Some other relics of the Coronation have been eagerly sought after by various Noble men; they have been presented with settees, or double chairs, used at the dinner-tables in the Hall. The whole of the removals are being conducted with the greatest order, as well as rapidity ; and in a few days, without doubt, the Hall, the Chamber* the Committee-rooms, Etc. will be entirely cleared. The Hail, after the removal of the Coronation structures, will not have its proportions affected by any temporary buildings for Courts, or any other purpose. The Law Courts at the end of the Hall will not be rebuilt; the plan of the late Mr. WltAti (the late Kneo's Architect), will be partially adopted—that of building Courts for the King's Bench and Chancery behind the stone buildings, and in line with the Courts of Common Pleas and Exchequer; there will be entrances into them from the 'AL similar to that into the Common Pleas. Yesterday, about one o'clock, the Princess Au- Gums, accompanied by Mr. STEELE, left town in her carriage and four, for Bushy Park, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE. The Princess AUGUSTA, during her stay abroad, spent her time principally with the Queen of WIR TEMBERG and the Princess of Hesse HOMBERG ; With the former her Royal Highness spent about six weeks.

A month has elapsed since the Marchioness of SALISBURY was in town. Her Ladyship has, since that period, commenced her dinner parties at Hat field House. Lady COCHRANE was brought to bed, at seven o'clock yesterday morning, of a girl, which, with its noble mother, are as well as possible. The entailed estate, which will devolve to the Hon. W.

To-day the following letter was addressed to us bya Gentleman of high distinction, it,ident at Boyle; in the county of Roscommon. It relates to the mur der of a shepherd near Knrickadoo t " Doyle, December 3. " &a—Referring to my last letter, written in a great hurry, I have now to inform you that the murder w.s perpetrated on the night of the Ist instant. The circumstances respiring it are as follolrt—Three ruffians, with their faces blacken , d (o . e of them disguised in woman's clothe.), forced their way into a shepherd's cabin, near Knockadoo, within three .miles of thii place, when they lit a candle, and demanded ' ; but the shepherd, who was in bed with his wife, told them that he had none. They tarn drew from under the bed a box, wherein ens contained fosir pounds in Hank -notes, belonging to his ulster, which they took. Perceiving the shepherd about to leave his bed, one of the Villain* imniediately stabbed him in the left breast with a bayonet. which he had fixed to the end of a bluegeon, and which the shepherd seized and wrested from him. ln the . meantime, however, he was stabbed by another of the savage* in several places wit h a knife, part of which was left in his body He made his escape—running across two fields to the cabin of a neighbour—the blood gushing from the wound in his breast to such a degree, that the door of the cabin where he took shelter, and against which be reclined until opened, was completely co vered, and the colour of the wood nearly ettinguished. When the shepherd bad effected his escape, the inhuman miscreants stabbed his wife In several parts of her body, and fractured her skuU with a piece of wood which the poor family had used as a candlestick, leaving her quite dead by the side of a sucking in fant. and two older children, on an adjacent pallet. " The shepherd is still alive, and may recover, though his cam Is at present very doubtful. He has given information against one man • and another has been apprehended upon suspicioni from wh at transpired yesterday at the Inquest. " There is nd doubt entertained that the shepherd knows the three savages that murdered his wife, and that they are known to a maid-servant, who *as in the house at the time; yet the dread of being murdered prevents them from even communicating their suspicions; and both declare that they can identify all the perpetrators of this dreadful deed, if brought before them. " Henry Fry, Esq. a Magistrate of this county, has been very active on ybe occasion, and I have no doubt will cause the other' two suspected persons to be apprehended constable* are in search of them." A private letter from Rathkeale, in the County of Limerick, dated the 3d inst. states that a house &- longing to Mr. RZYMOND, of Hollywood, was at tacked a short time since, and all his arms caked away. Mr. RICTMOND was absent during the affair. A servant named Murphy told his master he knew the whole party. This becoming public, a party went to the house on the night of the 2d inst. brolto into it, took out the servant Murphy, and shot bins as if by sentence of a Court Nlartiat. We understand that Government has, with prompt and judicious liberality, granted fifty pounds to Jong SHEA, of Tubber, in the county of Tipperary, for the purpose of giving a slated roof to his house. He oat brother to the late EDMOND Susi, the atrocious burning of whose house, person, and family, Ireland is at present deploring.—Wakribrd Mirror. DUMFRIES, DECEMBER 4: Wednesday lait was What is called out Martinrnas Fair ; but the day was so wet and stormy, that many of our ploughmen lads had to forego the pleasure of meeting their sweethearts, and inviting, or rather dragging them into the nearest house that furnished an antidote to the winter's cold. On the Thursday and Friday following, however, the weather was more favourable, and the drapers and other shopkeepers were kept pretty busy. To have judged by their ruddy, healthful, and smiling countenances, the ser vant lasses seemed to have felt very little of the pres sure of the times ; and although their " penny fee" has been somewhat reduced of late years, this reduc tion has been more than compensated by the fall in Glasgow muslins and every other description of fe. male gear. Cotton goods, in fact, never were so cheap as at the present moment, and it is astonishing how small a sum will rig out a girl, in a style which to our hodden-grey ancestors would have appeared the height of extravagance. Some of our merchants, who probably depend more on the masters than on the servants, complain that their accounts come very slowly in; and that the circumstances of the farmer, whether or not they have reached the lowest point of depression, have not yet begun to return in a con trary direction. In the cattle market there was again a large shew of beeves, consisting of one, two, and three-year-old Galloways, and a large supply of Highlanders of all ages. The sale upon the whole was duller than for some weeks past, and the pikes also a shade lower. The cattle, however, were mostly of an inferior description, although there were still some prime beasts in the market. A butcher in Maxi welltown bought a fine fat bullock, weighing . 46 stone (of 141b5.), for 6<. id. per stone, sinking offals ; and a private individual purchased a cow or stbt, for a mart, for £4 10s. which weighed 25 stone, and for the skin of which he received £1 4s. 6d. In this way the beef would stand him in less than 3d. per pound.—ln the pork market there was something doing, but Ss. 3d. and 3s. 6d. were almost the highest prices that were obtained for the best carcases—a sum, which so far from yielding a profit, will never pay for the expense of feeding.—Dumfries Courier. A beautiful tigress whelped two cubs, at Odey, on Thursday se'anight, which are now suckled by a terrier bitch ! A srarroto's nest, with three eggs, was found a few days since in the neighbourhood of Sheerness, a very unusual circumstance at this' season of the year. At Mrs. FITZIIRRIIERT 9 3, at Battersea, the Rosen burgh sirataberries are growing in the kitchen garden : the crop is prolific, and of superior flavour.. Monday, several pods of green peas were gathered in a garden at Wouldham, Kent. Major BIRD, of Wick, near Hereford, has, at this time, growing in his garden, polyanthuses in full bloom. It is remarkable, that since the Ist of Sep:emEet last there have been but eighteen days without strong gales and rain, and the wind, in general, has been to the southward by west. Saturday evening last, George Haworth, 26 years of age, living near Blackburn, Yorkshire, while si. ting by his own tire-side o was struck dead by lightning. Thursday, as Mr. J. Drew, a constable of Castle Coombe, Somersetshire, was in the act of taking a man into custody who had been ill-using a child, he fell down and expired. BOX ING.
