Sir R. BIRNIE asked Mr. French to describe the assault he complained of. Mr. French said, that the persons of whom he complained were Messrs. John, William, and Richard Cobbett, the sons of 11r. 'William Cobbett the well-known political writer. He Was going along the Kensington-road, about six o'clock, on Wednesday evening, and the three young men, who had concealed themselves, and had for some time been lying in wait behind a cart, pounced upon him as he passed by, and one of them struck him with a bludgeon, and beat him as he lay on the ground. They were all three concerned in the outrage. Sir R. BIRNIE said that there must have been some cause of provocation, surely ; but that was no justification of the assault they had committed ; and he ordered a warrant to be issued against the parties. _ _ Mr. French bore on his person visible marks of the violence of the assault which had been committed, and he declared that, he was sure his assailants in tended to murder him. It is stated thst the assault was provoked by Mr. French having spoken in disrespectful terms ,of the young gentlemen, which he refused to retract. MR. GORDON'S AUDIENCE OF THE GRAND SEIGNIOR. The grand audience given by the Sultan to our Ambassador, the Hon. Mr. Gordon, has produced an uncommon degree of interest at Constantinople, on account of the peculiar cir cumstances under which it took place, and the important consequences expected to result from the new diplomatic relations between Great 13ri tain and the Porte. The letters from the Turkish capital, which reach to the 17th ult., are full of details on this event. Monday, the 13th, was the day appointed by the Sultan for Mr. Gordon's audience of recep tion, in the magnificent Turkish camp, on the great plain of Buyukdere. The ceremonies with which the audience was conducted were remark able for their pomp as well as for the departure which on this occasion was made from the forms hitherto so strictly observed by the Porte. The Blonde frigate and the Rifleman sloop of war, which brought Mr. Gordon and his suite to Constantinople, had moved on the 10th before Tophana, where they had lain since the arrival of the embassy, to the bay of Buyukdere. The French frigate Arnzide, on board of which Count Guilleminot arrived, accompanied the English ships on their passage through the Bosphorus, and cast anchor opposite Tarapia, off the heights of Kunkiar-Yskelessi, on the Asiatic coast. Early on the 13th, several detachments of Turkish infantry, each about 2,000 strong, marched into the camp to do the military ser vice during the ceremonies of the audience. Pieces of artillery were distributed over the sur rounding heights nearest the camp. In a charm ing situation, between Tarapia and Buyukdere, a grand tent, with two divisions, was erected for the Sultan. The roof of the first division was supported by 24 columns, and adorned with an equal number of gilded balls. Under this fine canopy the visiters approached the interior and semi-circular part of the tent, which was hung with the richest damasks, and the most costly tapestries, and in the back ground of which was a splendid throne. Over this was extended a rich canopy of red cloth, embroidered and set with rich pearls and precious stones. Behind this grand tent, which was destined for the audi ence, another smaller tent was constructed, in which stood a richly covered sofa, on which the Grand Seignior reposed. To the right were tents for the Ministers, th e Seraskier, and the Sultan's suite ; and on the left were others for the diplomatic body. Im mediately in the rear of these, was the large tent of the Caimacan-Pacha, representing the Hall of the Divan. Still farther back might be seen the tent which served for the Sultan's kitchen ; and, finally, all the tents, which formed the grand camp. At 10 in the morning Mr. Gordon disem barked from the Blonde, and proceeded to the camp. The following was the order of the pro cession : A detachment of Marines and the baud of musicians belonging to the Blonde. The Ambassador's Chocadares, 14 dressed in white, and 18 in red. Sixteen servants in yellow livery. Six chamber attendants in dark blue livery, edged with gold. The officers of the English ships of war. The Interpreters, the Secretary of the Em bassy, Mr. Parish, and the first Doltmetsher, M. Chabert. Mr. Gordon on horseback. Lords Yarmouth and Dunlo, and the gentle men attached to the Embassy. Some English officers and seamen. In this order the procession advanced to the Caimacan's tent, where Mr. Gordon, on alight ing from his horse, was received and welcomed by the Seraskier. A conversation was main tained for a considerable time between Mr. Gor don and the Camaican, through the Interveu- +tt PRICE 7D. tion of Esrar-Effendi, the acting dolmetsher of the Porte, and M. Chabert, the first dolmetsher of the embassy. A rich repast was then laid out on five tables. The Ambassador alone sat it the Camaican's table. Lords Yarmouth and Dunlo, Mr. Parish, and the dolmetshers Chabert and Wood, sat at the Seraskier's. Messrs. Mellish, Villiers, Cartwright, and Gros venor, sat at the Defterda's table. The remain ing persons attached to the embassy were placed at the other two tables. At eleven o'clock salutes of artillery an nounced the approach of the Sultan, who mounted his horse at the landing place, and surrounded by his Peiks and Solaks, and ac companied by his military escort, proceeded to the audience tent. His Highness wore'a violet coloured hervani (military cloak), the collar of which was studded with diamonds. In his tur ban he had a splendid military aigret, richly set with brilliants. The shabrach of the horse he rode, as well as the led horses which followed him, was also richly and tastefully adorned with brilliitnts, While the \ Sultan rode aiono• in front of th troops, drawn up in parade order, they saluted him with three loud hurrahs, which were re peated when he alighted from his horse, and when he entered the tent. His Highness was then waited on by the Caimacan, the Seraskier, and other persons of distinction. _ _ _ Meanwhile the Ambassador and his suite in the Camaican's tent were presented with her vanis. Dressed in these mantles, Mr. Gordon and the officers of the Embassy proceeded at twelve o'clock to tile audience tent. Mr. Gordon having addressed the Sultan in English, his speech was translated into Turkish by Esrar-Effendi, and repeated by the Caima can. After the Sultan had, in a few words, in timated the substance of the answer which was to be given, his Highness expressed his great satisfaction at finding that " the King of Eng land had chosen so enlightened and judicious a man for his Ambassador to the Sublime Porte." After the Caimacan had delivered the speech which formed the official answer of the Sultan, the Ambassador left the audience tent, and re turned to the reception tent. In about half an hour the Sultan left the camp, amidst salutes of artillery, and vivats from his troops, to re turn again to Tarapia. The Ambassador also departed and proceeded to the shore, where he embarked on board the Blonde. During these ceremonies, and the whole of the remaining day, the English ships of war and the French frigate were dressed out with flags of every description. The English ships saluted the Sultan with nine cheers, as he passed them in his galley. The new ceremonials observed at this audi ence, among which one of the most remarkable was that the Ambassador and his suite were per mitted to wear their swords, which on all similar occasions used to be laid aside—the great num ber of troops drawn up on the plain—the splen dour and richness of the tents—the grandeur of the processions—the uncommon sight of a fo reign military force under arms in. a Turkish camp—the immense number of spectators col lected from all points of the surrounding coun try,—rendered this audience one of the grandest and most extraordinary scenes ever witnessed on the Mussulman territory.

In London, ycsiterday, the duty advanced to 40,000/. In our market nothing is doing. A circum stance has been mentioned to us, which shows the uncer tain nature of a Hop Plantation :—One Planter in Here fordshire is expected to grow five tans of Hops, while in the adjoining yard of his neighbour it is not expected that the Hops will repay the expense of picking. At the present Assizes for Clare, there were a number of cases of abduction and rape to he tried.— Upon looking over the calendar, thP, CHIEF BARON re marked to the Jury, that from ttio limber charged with rape, he was of opinion that and: a crime 4vas the way of proposing for a gill in that part of the country, if the bachelor could nAt speak English.—Dublin Eveniv Packet. VORACITY OF THE PIKE.—A striking in stance of the voracity of the pike has, within these few days, come under our knowledge, which we mention for the benefit of the lovers of natural history. In drawing the pits of J. Asrirstar.A., Esq. of Cleongar_hall, Cheshire, a fish of this species was taken, from the mouth of which projected the tail of another pike, at first presenting a sin gular appearance. It was found, on exanainAtion, that the larger fish was alive, although in a torpid, state, and that part of the other which was swallowed was in a state of decomposition. The difference between the two was very trifling ; the one which preyed upon the other being 20 inches long and the other 16. What makes it more re tnarkable is, that these. were a variety of other kinas of fish in the pit.--iwerpool Cot(r44.. a& a party of y oung men and women were 011 Sunday afternoon, the 9tl l Instant, about fp.ur• o'clock, on their return from Breydor,, in a ship's boat, where they e had half mile point from the tiamen of Great Yarmouth, an d i n t h e a the sail of the wh err y t oo k t h e t of passing s been s ing on w a t e sailing rr y excursion, when near the wind out of the boat's sail, and on clearing each other, the wind from the wherry's sail fell upon the boat's sail, and laid the boat down in the water ; the boat in consequence upset, and precipitated the whole .party into the water, when three females were drowned. The party consisted of MARY ALDRED and ANN BAT, dress-makers; and ELIZA WATERS, a young woman employed in the silk-factory ; JAMES ALnaxix„ and a younger brother, bro thers of MARY AT,44./II.,; and JortN CALLOW. When the boat upset, Aaays Aroassn was sitting between MARY h* sister, and ELIZA WATERS, with his arms entwined in theirs; to the latter be was to have been mar since been in a distracted state, He used eveq exertion mar vied on the Tnesday following.

The body of one of li!oe Ceinales was pick e d up a s h ort g time afterwards, hut the 'vital spark had fled ; and those of the othfr two were fottu.i On the following day.
