TUE public attention on the Continent seems to be diverted from the acts of Congress to their immediate consequences—namely, the final review and dispersion of the troops composing the late Army of Occupation in ranee. The Emperor of Russia and King of Prussia, say the French pape 7 rs, are to set off for Valenciennes forthwith. 'I he troops of Austria, Bavaria, and Wur tetuberg, are to be assembled and reviewed as well as the others, but whether in conjunction with them, so as to constitute one grand military spectacle, is not stated by these journals. The ratifivatisnis of the recent treaty were expected, we understand, to be exchanged bet wegn the contracting parties either on Saturday lust or this day. Mr. 13aring• has proceeded to Path on business connected with those immense pecuniary en gagements into which he has lately entered. A klamhttrgh mail has arrived, which states that the Russians are to march home through Germany and Poland, instead of undertaking a voyage to the Baltic at the present advanced anti precarious season. The 'French fortresses now on the point of being relinquished by the Allies, are tube transferred to the possession of their proper Sovereign with all due solemnity. The Royal Guard, the Legions, and the National Guard, will take the garrison service together, until the legions shall have reached the quota fixed by law for their .peace establishment• Government have given notice that on the 19th instant, they would be ready to receive the tenders of nny person who would wish to enter into contracts for bringing over the fuglish troops ; the troops td be em barked at one man to each ton of the vessels. It is understood that it is nut the intention of the Duke of Wellington to return to Aix-la-Chapelle after the review of the troops. His Grace remains with the army till the different corps are in march on their respective routes. The Brisish infantry are to embark at Calais, and the cavalry at Boulope It is reported that two Commissioners have within the last few days arrived in. London from Peru. Letters from Jamaica, at which place they touched, state, that these gentlemen are the bearers of an exposition of the state in which the Royalist cause has been in Peru since the redaction of Chili, contained in a series of resohttiotu agreed upon at a meeting of the PrineipJl inhabitants of Lima, held under the sanction of the Viceroy. Br lezters from Cadiz we learn that the convoy aim ut to sail far the Ilava w ill carry out troops, to the number probably of 1,500 or . 2,000 men, who, it i s supposed, will b,: landed at some port in the Caraccas, as a reinforcement to Nforillo. Lord Cochrane arrived at ;Madeira on the 27th of August, and sailed the same day for the Colombo river. An article from St. Yetersbargh mentions, that it is in con:emplmizm by the Russian Government to make a change in the duties on imported sugars, fivourable to the views of the sugar reliurs of Russia by laying 15 rubles per pond, instead of 5 ,rubles. on all the truArd lump sugars imported, and thus throwing the consumption upon home-manufactured lump sugar ; the importation of the raw article from Cuba. the Brazils, and othe parts, being deemed sufficient to supply the sugar-refiners of the empire; and the addittional dutx prothising a lar ; ,e income to the revenues of the Crown.

ANuTliint MOST lisnt•aaous Munaea was commit- tetl late on Fri.lay evening in the Kent Road, on the person of Mary Albert, an interesting little girt four years and a half old. .1 man, named Robert Dean, was in the habit of occasionally visiting the parents of the child, who vt as mach attached to him, and of whom he had always appeared remarkably farad. He took the child out to buy some apples at a neighbouring shop; and not returning immediately Mrs. Williams, the mo thee of Mrs Albert, went out to look for the child, and observing her in Dean's urns with en apple in her hand, she was about to return, when Dean requested her to go to a shop a few doors off and purchase some arti cles for him. She did as he had requested, but had not been in the shop more than two tninutks when she heard a cry of murder, and saw a great number of persons run towards her daughter's house. She made all possible haste to the some place, and upon arriving there saw the.child being supported by her father, and the blood streaming from a dreadful wound in the throat. The unfortunate infant languished about half an hour and expired ; and another wound was thou discovered on the lower part of the stomach. The only circumstance which can explain in some measure the motives of the murderer for the perpetration of this horrid. deed appears to have arisen from Mrs. Albert having chided him, in terms of great severity, for having formed some improper connexion with per sons of depraved character, and for squandering away his money upon his immoral associates. lie appeared to he extremely hart at her remonstrances, but said nothing that indicated an intenti in of taking any sort of revenge for the freedom with which she had spoken to j him. Mrs. Albe:•t was shortly aftea horror-struck on j perceiving her child staggering into the room where she was sitting, with a dreadful gash in her throat, from which the blood flowed in a torrent. The poor little infant faintly cried " Wither, Mothe;!" and fell down. j Dr. Walshman and two medical men were sent for, and I did every thing for the little sufferer that could be per- !Untied by skill and experience—but in vain. Dean has absconded ; and the police officers are in active pursuit. ATROCIOUS CASE OF FRAUEI.--mA. man named Powell was brought before the Lord Mayor, on a chate of having robbed his father of 1,3751, who is upwards of seventy, and is now a prisoner in Whitecruss-street prison upon an execution. It thus became necessary to employ sonic person to receive the interest of his property in the Bunk, which produced about 401. per annum. He appointed his son to this office, and signed the doetinent, which he was given to understand empowered that person to receive the dividend. Upon inquiry at the Bank, however, it was found that the deed authorised the prisoner to receive the principal instead of the interest. Mr. Rooker, clerk to the soli citors of the Bunk, attended at the request of the Lord Mayor, who observed, that the case was indeed an atrocious one. The prisoner, he said, should suffer the utmost punishment if he refused to transfer the pre. perty to his father. The prisoner said, his father had given him the whole sum, but he was determined io give his father the use, or interest of it, as long as I:e lived. He hesitated upon the proposal to refund. The Load Mayor said, he trustea the yank would act dui sively on such an occasion. They knew the transfer was fraudulent, and surely they would not admit it as binding. Mr. Hodson agreed that the means taken to procure the signature were illegal, but observed that the signature was that of the father. The Lord Mayor. —ln such a case I would defy all consequences, and Act from mere impulse.—The prisoner was committed tin further examination : after which he will certainly be indicted, if he persists in his refusal to re-transfir the 1,37.51. PLOIMIIINO MATCH.—The Bath anti West of Eng land Society had their,annual trial of skill in ploughing at Felton, Gloucestershire, on Tuesday, when 13 ploughs started, drawn by two horses each. The prin cipal prize was awarded to Mr. Cullimorc, (chief tenant to Dr. Newman, at Thornbury Park,) whose plough man, Robert Screen, quite a lad, finished his half acre in one hour and 43 minutes, the best and quickest work known to have been done in this district. filcrecn had some crark men from Scotland and the Eastern counties in Englund opposed to him, and they would scarcely credit his being a Gloucestershire malt The vacant (investment of C.nves-Caste, in the isle of Wight, has not yet been filled up. Numerous applications have already reached the Commander-in- Chief. The late in-umbent, Col. Drauly, died in af fluence, and has left the bulk oc his ti:rtune in provi sions fin. the widows of deceased officeiv, anti other ob jects of military want. The Westmiiisiet Sessions will commence on Thur . clay next. The bit-hies.; will be unusually heavy, find the Sessions are expected to continue for at least four days. D.
