An article in the Allgenteine Zeitung, from Semlin, states that the Turkish carriers from Albania say that the Suliots, having been defeated in several actions by the Paella of Arta, had submitted to the Porte, and made a Convention with the Pacha. This, if true, would be a great misfortune for the Greeks, as the Turks would have a large force at liberty. Count Bual Schauenstein, President of the German Diet, arrived at Vienna on the 31st of August. __ . ... Vzseduk, Ssrr. 7•.—Metalliques. 83 546.—Bank Shares, 881. This forenoon we received a Hamburgh Mail, with Papers to the 11th inst. 'the following are extracts : ST. PETERSBURGH, AUGUST 27. The Persian Minister, Mezza Saleb, now here, a favourite of the reigning Emperor, had his first audi ence of his Majesty on the 21st of July, when he pre sented a portrait of the Persian Crown Prince, hewn in marble, in the Oriental taste, and also a curious Arabian manuscript. This Ambassador goes from St. Petersburgh to England. He speaks French and English fluently, and has employed his time, during his short residence here, in visiting the most interest ing curiosities in the capital. He has a painter with him, who is expressly commissioned by the Schah, his master, to make drawings of everything remark. able that he may meet with in his travels. Reports proceeding from Constantinople, say that the Pacha of Bagdad has defeated the Persians, but nobody can tell where the battle took place. The new Hospodar of Wallachia, we learn, is not rich, but an honest and pretty well-informed man. The nomination of Hospodars taken from the Boyars of Wallachia and Moldavia, of which the present is the first instance, has excited some attention here. As our affairs with the Porte will probably be ar ranged at the Congress, there is no occasion for the sending of a Turkish Ambassador to the frontiers, to open the negociations, as foreign Journals have stated. Her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Alex andra, is in expectation of her accoucliement, at the new Imperial Palace in Jelagin's Island. TARY FUNERALS.

BOXING. The battle between Flowers, the blacksmith, and Weston the farmer, took place yesterday in the Ashton Pigeon Club-lields, Oxon, fur one hundred sovereigns. The hght was stopped on Thursday last in another county, but it was one of great interest between the Ashton and blidgham Pigeon Clubs, and the beak: were not allowed to have everything their own way, as nothing but fighting was meant. Flowers, who was backed by the Midg ham Club, had screed many a tidy customer, and Weston had often Licked of the tram Nothing less than mischief was meant. In the first round the blacksmith was floored from the scratch by a heavy bit under the lug, but he took it quietly, shook his bead, and proved himself undeniable.. 2. 'llw smith fought at a disadvantage, three parts upon the done, and claret was drawn from the nob until it was evident he was careless about it. Courage upheld the frame, and a right. band belly go set the farmer squeamish, and reduced the battle to something near a certainty. Much bard hitting took place in the four subsequent rounds in favour of the smith, but he received a heavy cross-buttocking throw in the 6th round, which stopped him a bit. The 7th and Bth rounds were tame compared with what had happened. The men were tired and nothing but goodness prompted them en. Weston was floored in the last of the two rounds. The 9th round won the fight for Flowers. A chance right handed blow set the farmer's head upon the roll, and sensibility had bolted away from him with a broken jaw to boot. It was altogether a very manly fight and Wood and bustle kept about equal pace. . 1 tenni lir tam tresendava tip, by the ma 4, atrinpaaled b the new Mahn-Inbanne hit (a kick on eke belly). which won ber ...• the battle, with the loss' of her right ter In the nest round', as 'h .. ___l 3 ,l i t 6( 111 " 6 ' 31P a . . cat , by dieetheofees died et &eatables Bet took a fleecy to le ; both ladles were mach pu n i s h e d, . an d ei . ssekoi us umlaut, at Neennathet, last week, from an ill- were taken awarldeeeternsonger's drop, drawn by asses.

A dreadfal accident occurred yesterday morning on Aba 3111211th- ba The Tally-ho, a Woolwi c h o pp o sition coach, bad tht 1 Minority to pan down Blackheath-hill a t full gallop. The cme in its progress nee observed to acquir e an undulating mmien, and-when it arrived about midway down the hill was thrown over with such violence, Metier side was driven in aid betoken to pianos by the fall. There were in all 15 passengers,- I I our. side and 4 inside, all of whom, with one- exception, received serious injury. Major M'C&oun, who was a panning; and a very dne young man, was so seriously hurt that little hopes are entertained of his recovery, eat a vestige of his face is left, ex cept his eyes. Nat une of the passengers have escaped without broken legs or arms, and several of them it is much feared will lose their lives. After the accideit happened, moat of the pas sengers were conveyed birsit,egaln to Woolwich, some on the shoulders of men. ardaillvers in caravans; when they were im mediately attended by four surgeons from the Hospital. The above coach was overturned by turning round the corner at the bottom of the kill, at flail speed. It was dashed in a thousand pieces • but it appears that the inside passengers received mor e hurt than the outside noes. , OLD BAILEY SESSIONS. This day, 77tomes Newby was indicted for felo niously forging a piece of plate bearing the mark o f the Goldsmiths ' Company. MI% PRENDERGAST, Counsel for the prisoner, ad vised him to plead Guilty, to which he consented. Mr. ALLey observed, that the Company would not offer any evidence on this indictment; but he wi.hed it to be understood, that this was the last case whete mercy would be extended. The prisoner (who is extremely deaf) was charged on three other indictments, for selling such pieces of plate with forged and counterfeit marks as aforesaid; to these the prisoner pleaded Not Guilty, and was removed from the Bar for the present. After the other prisoners had been arraigned, Mr. BoLLA tar stated he should offer no evidence on the subsequent indictments. _ _ _ The prisoner, for the offence, is liable to seven years transportation. ' Mr. Justice BEST said he hoped that the mercy extended on this occasion would not facilitate the commission of the crime. The vial of king and Hollands, for a crime re. %%thing to human nature, came on before Judge BEST. After an investigation of about an hour, they %sere, upon the clearest evidence, capitally convicted. Extract of a letter received in Glasgow, dated Que bec, July 28:—" The poor Irish are miserable here ; thousands land without a penny—they are starving and lying upon the wharf. On the day we arrive], the William, of and from Dublin, a small vessel, old Dutch built, arrived with 150 passengers, nearly '2O, sick, in consequence of bad water and short pro visions. Being afraid of disease, the wife of a decent miller was refused house-room, although the husband offered a guinea per day; yesterday she died on the wharf, close by our ship, under some shingle., %Oleic they had carried a bed and awning the day before ou landing her." FIRE AT BERMONDSEY.—In the last page we have given an account of the destructive fire which broke out in the premises of Messrs. ROSE and GOULSTON, of Bermondsey, last night. It appears that the de'- struction it has mated is greater than was at first known. Fourteen houses in Paragon-row are nearly destroyed, and seven smaller houses have been pulled down to prevent the spreading of the flames.• Among the persons that fell from the scaffold, when viewing the fire, several were severely hurt, two had their legs broken, and another his thigh dislocated. Not iJr standing the exertions of the fi:emen, and th..t engines were playing on the fire at once, yet the damage is estimated at 100,0001. a portion of which only is ensured. The Hope Fite-office is said to be the principal sufferer. GUILDHALL--.THE ADVARTAOTS OF INTIUSTRY —On Saturday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, as a Mrs. Morgan,, re siding in Francis-street,Gray's-1 nn-lane- road, was paosing through Fleet-market, she found herself suddenly surrounded by five or six men, who hustled her from one to the other for a few minutes, and on getting clear from them, she discovered that her pocket had been cut, through her shawl, gown, and petticoat ; the only loss she sustained was sonic loose change and her pockee-book, which, however, contained ten or eleven duplicates for property of some value. As soon as she recovered from her fright, she Immediately set about stopping the duplicates, and though it was near the hour at which pawnbrokers close business, she managed to make one call for the purpose that evening. Mrs. Morgan was stirring with the lark yesterday morning, and by a little after eight o'clock, she was at Mr. Turner's, the pawnbroker, in Bridget street, Covent-Garden, where some of the property bad been pledged. The thief had, however, been there before her, and re deemed some silver spoons, silver sugar-tongs, and sundry other articles. This first disappointment served only to stimulate her exertions, and she proceeded with all speed to another pawn broker, Mr. Page, in Long-acre. Here again the thief had been before her, and redeemed a brooch, a ring, &c. Rightly judging that the thief would make • his first appplications to the nearest pawnbrokers, she had hastened thus early to the two places we have mentioned, aud nos returned somewhat disheartened to endeavour to stop such of the article* as had been pledged in her more immediate neighbourhood. In passing through Great Queen-street, on her road back, she overtook a man whose face she recognised, or thought she recognised, as that of one of the persons who had so hustled her on the Saturday evening. The more she looked at him, the more convinced :he was of the fact. She felt, however, that it would be of no use to charge him te r der those circumstances, and made the best of her way to Mr. Loveday's, pawnbroker, Gray's-Inn.lane-road. Here she told her tale, and while in the act of pointing out the particular du plicates she wished to have stopped, one of them was produced et the counter by a man whom she immediately recollectid to be the individual whose appearance had streck her so fbrcibly in Great Queen-street. A conversation ensued between them ih a tone Which soon gathered a mob, and Blake and Phillips, two constables of St. Pancras parish, who chanced to come by, ett heating the circumstances, took the man into custody, conveyed hint to a neighbouring public house, and on searching him she articles redeemed that morning at Mr. Turner's and Mr. Page's, together witk the lost pocket-hook, were found in his possession. file constables accordingly conveyedittim to the Ilatton-Garden Office, from whence, by the direction of the Magistrates, the rubbery having been committed in the City, he was brought before Mr. Alderman Cox, the Sitting Megiorate, at this JAM.' •ffioom.
