to whom not one of the parcels was addressed, and who was absolutely ignorant of their existence, until it was made known to him through the French Custom-house, must he cognizant not only of the smuggling transaction, but must further know the several individuals in London by whom it was got up. In conclusion we have only to observe, that however ini probable our account of the transaction may be said to appear to those who are not in posses sion of the facts, it is in all and every particular strictly accurate; and we must endeavour to console ourselves under the censure of a con temporary, by a recollection of the generally received maxim, that " le vrai n'est pas toujours le vraisemblable."—Morning Chronicle.. Though we are free from all apprehension as to the possibility of invading India with any chance of success, it must be owned that Col. Evans has adduced several great authorities, partially corroborative of his views : Colonel Macdonald Kenneir, now our Representative at the Court of Teheran, who was employed by Sir John Malcolm in inquiries connected with this subject, says— " Although the possession of that country (Hia dostan) can be but of trifling advantage to an Eu ropean Power, which does not command a mari time communica►ion, it might be the object of Rus sia to deprive us of what it considers to be one of the chief sources of our strength. " It is perhaps unnecessary to remark, that this dissertation was written before the downfall of Na poleon, and the eventful change in Europe, which by the aggrandizement of Russia, have endangered the safety of our Eastern possessions. • • • • • • " It was my determination on quitting England, to visit all the countries through which an European army might attempt the invasion of India, and in prosecution of this plan, to explore the North-eastern parts of Persia, and the vast plains which stretch beyond the Oxus towards the confines of the Rus sian empire. . . It was, doubtless, to be wished that we possessed some personal knowledge of the state and resourct a of so large and populous a king dom as Bokbara, which, from its situation, must ever be considered a most important barrier to the en• eroachments of Russia towards our Oriental posses sions. * * " Of the many plans suggested for the invasion of Hindostan, that of crossing the Caspian and sailing up the Oxus appears to me to be the most easy of execution." Colonel Tod, more than twenty years politi cal resident in the Rajpodana countries, speak ing of the Rajpoot States, recommends certain measures towards them ; and " then," he adds, , c if a Tartar of a Russian invasion threatened our Eastern Empire, fifty thousand Rajpoots would be no despicable allies." Lord Hastings, speaking of Oude, says, " The force, however irregular, capable to be thence collected in the rear of the army with which we were meeting the invaders on the - frontier, was a subject not to be revolved without anxiety. The knowledge of an insurrection behind them to an extent which could not be ascertained, as our commu nication with the lower provinces would be pre carious and interrupted, if not wholly cut off, would unavoidably agitate the minds and dimi nish the confidence of the advanced troops. I had often ruminated on that chance." These are a sample of the authorities adduced by Co lonel Evans. Differing from him as we do as to the importance of the danger from Russia, it is but justice to him to give this slight notice.—lbid. 1 What does Government mean to do to re lieve the distresses of the country ?" is a ques tion which is asked in every company, and at the corner of every street. if the question were, " what o,ight they to do ?" we should answer, " to call Ear:lament together immediately, and meet it prepared with such measures as they deem best calculated to effect the end." But of this there is now avowedly no intention. Par liament has been prorogued pro forma to the middle of December, and we have no doubt but that there is not the least intention of assembling it before the end of January or the beginning of February. Had this happened under a simi 3ar state of things in former times, when the INhigs were out of office, how would the very isle have been " frighted from its propriety" by the remonstrances and lamentations of the " liberal" Press, but which is now as silent as the grave ; nay, indeed, as if to show the bitter draught which political apostacy is doomed to sWallow, Lord Rosslyn, the Ministerial repre eentat;ve of the Whigs, is named one of the Com missioners to prorogue Parliament, and thus shut out all hope of any present appeal to what Mr. Fox and the Whigs of his day used to declare ought to be kept constantly sitting when any na tional emergency exiatcd. The truth, however, we fear, is that Government is not prepared to meet Parliament ; that it is not prepared with any remedy, but is still lingering o n th e threshold of its own doubts. Nay, we carry our apprehensions still further, and are exceedingly inclined to question whether the Administration, as it is now constitate4, is likely to come to any agreement which will aiable it to pre scribe ao bold a mode of cure as the desperate state of the patient seems to call for. The time, we fear, is now come, when the evils of a meth ley Administration, composed of persons of such different ways of thinking upon some of the , ;mist vital points of public interg.:o, is becoming apps: eat. We cannot persuade Dmrsdve,g, if the Government were agreed upon a. remedy, that it could justify it to itself to postpone its - adoption for a day, or even an hour. But as retirement from office, or the Rubicon of change, must be passed, let us hope tliat their own good sense and patriotism, urged on by the nation's galling necessities, will speedily remove every obstacle which exists to a unity of action, which cannot be much longer delayed. Mr. Peel, we are happy to see, is passing his time with his fa ther—the best school certainly in which Ile can be taught the errors of his financial creed. 4'ie Robert Peel—and no wonder—as a practical man, was uniformly opposed to his son's tbeo,. rues; and Mr. Peel, therefore, to whom the difficult task of retracting is not unpractised, will, we trust, be speedily prepssed to consign his currency principles to the same vortex of conviction or of necessity which swallowed up his once unalterable love of Protestantism and No-Popery. At all events the time is come when something must be done ; and that put of the Press which yet remains unshackled by past Q 4 -0 nitinnts or party attachments cannot be better employed than in urging upon the Go, vet-whew a timely recurrence to sounder prin ciples than those which have invoked the coun try in its present unparalleled and almost inex tricable state of embarrassment and distress.— Morning Herald. _ _ _ It is truly gratifying to us to hod that we are 'cjbitet*,in the opinions which we mil - Icel. :latiriatytrd on the first perusal of the treaty of. Adri only by our town, but also byeurproii*A t tpcoternporaries—that from one of . oo - Wirtkroin to the other that treaty is -.4s an insidious attempt to over is- empire, but as a virtual demo .4t ' all intents and purposes, as an in- dependent State, and one of the grossest breaches of a profession of moderation, as well as the grossest insult to France and England, of which Nicholas could have been guilty. There is, in fact, and indeed there cannot be, but one opinio►► on the subject ; as instance once more, in brief, a few of the very moderate terms of which it is composed : 1. An enormous indemnity for commercial losses. 2. A still more enormous indemnity for the ex penses of the war. 3. The civil tiAministration and military govern ment of Turkey until the indemnities are paid. 4. Not only the free entrance into the Black Sea, and free passage from it into the Mediterranean, but permisson to all Russian vessels, to carry and to land, what cargoes they please, without being sub ject to search, inspection, or notice of any kind, by any Turkish authority ! 5. Permission to all Russian subjects to commit what crimes they please, without being liable to be called in question for them, by any other than Rus sian authorities ! Such is the moderation of the Emperor Ni cholas !—such the proof which he now gives of his having " subjects enough, and territory enough,"—and then—as if this breach of good faith towards his allies were not enough—he must needs prove how very cheaply he holds them— firmly he considers himself seated on the throne of the Sultan,—by taking the Greek question wholly out of their hands, and settling it with the Sultan, contrary to express covenants and stipulations! But this is not the first time that Russia has given such proof of her moderation. Look at her dismemberment of Poland—at her seizure of the Crimea—at her attempts on Per sia, which 'she held but too firmly within her grasp—at her pretended desire to give indepen dence to Greece, over which she now lords it as absolutely, through the instrumentality of her minion, Count Capo d'lstria, as it were a pro vince of her empire— at her constant and un principled attacks on Turkey, whenever she could find fitting occasion—and finally, at the frequent agitation in her councils of the question of our expulsion from India ! Are not these de cisive proofs of her moderation ? and does any one suppose that, having once been permitted to occupy but for a very short time any portion of the territory of Turkey, she will be persuaded to deliver up possession of it ? What does the Treaty of Kainarga, in 1774, say ? Why, " That all the Tartar people, those of Crimea Budgiac, of the Kahan, &c., shall, without any exception, be acknowledged by the two empires as free nations, and entirely independent of any foreign power, and shall be governed by their own Sovereign, of the race of Gingis Khan, elected and raised to the throne by all the Tartar people, who shall govern them according to their ancient laws and usages, rendering no account to any foreign power, &c." These solemn gua rantees, in the name of " God Almighty"—for so that Treaty, most irreverently, began, as has this also of Adrianople—. were soon aferwards found," as Colonel Evans very justly remarks, "to be no better than waste paper ;" and so will it be with the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia—so will it be with Servia—so will it be with Greece, and, in a word, so will it be with the whole Ot toman empire, if the present treaty be allowed to be carried into effect. It is allowed on all hands, we believe, that there is no single state but England which has within itself the power of rolling back the tide of invasion and usurpation from Turkey, and compelling the Northern bar barian to retire within his own dominions ; but she has it in perfection ; and we will not libel the Duke of Wellington by supposing for a moment Ghat he will not call forth the resources and rouse the spirit of the country, against the colossal ambition of a power which has proved itself as faithless in promise, as it is de cidedly barbarian in deed. The country now looks with impatience for his decision, and we dare not imagine for a moment that it will be disappointed at the result. In the mean time we submit the following just observations from the columns of a provincial cotemporary (the Glasgow Free Press) : " There is no madness," he observes, " equal to that which arises from prejudice, and takes its direc tion from the bias of a mere name. Had any other than a Mahometan State—we mean, had any state, professing Christianity, held the position at present occupied by the Turks, and been attacked in the same unprincipled manner, and for the same un warrantable objects, there is not an individual in this country, however great his political ignorance, who would not have called out ' shame' against the aggressor, and, sensible of the danger which re sulted to the interests of Great Britain, have urged our Government to raise aloft its arm, and command an instant cessation of the injustice. But because the Turks are Turks, and because we in herit from our grandmothers an indefinable antipathy to the name, we regard as proper every act of in justice perpetrated against them, and, in our joy at seeing them smitten with the sword, forget the dangerous wound which we ourselves are ut the same time receiving! " "Ile Turks ate barbarians,' say the declaimers egaisist them. Well, and are they on that account to he placed beyond the pale of humanity ? ' But then they will never improve.' Indeed ! Was not the present Sultan effecting some improvements among them ? and waa it not become almost cer , tain, that, had he not been unjustly attacked by greater bat barians from without, he would have suc ceeded in regenerating and building up anew his empire ? ' But then the Turkish despotism is in tolerable tp those who live under it.' Very well, if it be so, those who live under it are the greater foole far not causing it to be altered, provided the . sufferers form a majority. That is their concern— not ours. The people of any state have a right to mould their institutions as they please, and to submit to them quietly, or rise up in rebellion against them eepording as they feel disposed; but no other state has a right tp advance into the arena, and attempt to intermeddle with thi. parties. The rule for those without is to stand neuter until the one side has gained the ascendant, and then acknowledge it 03 composing the state in future. Are there no oppress-. ed classes in this country ? And would we deem it jut were any foreign nation gin that account to make a crusade iotpour territory, in order to relieve the suf ferers ? ' But then the Turks are unbelievers ?',.-_-• And will acts of injustice and violence make them the contrary ? Whether is it better to convert them by ggpileness and persuasion or by the sword ? We denounei. , e.s the worst characteristic of Islamism, the obligation it lays on its professors to propagate its tenets by compOlsion. Jot dp wp not perceive that wo lay ourselves open to exactly the same ' charge, when wg in our humanity and wi,dom re, commend the violent expulsion of the Turks from urope ? But why from gurope only ?=-why not from the face of the whole earth, since the one act would be just as warrantable as the other ? And who are those who with pure hands could under, take this work of justice ? Surely none of those Powers that have ever violently seized on an inch of foreign territory themselves, and held it after, wards merely by right of conquest l And if none such could, without establishing a precedent equally fatal to themselves, put forth their banes to execute the project of our philanthropists, where could an y one Power be found eligible for the task ? Not in the whole world ; for the thing is a rank absurdity, and argues the greatest ignorance of the manner in which all states have been founded." —Morn, Advt. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Baldwin, a coal-merchant, who has a wharf in Thames-street,appeared before the LORD MAYOR, upon an information, in which he was charged with having supplied Mr. Warreker, a lodging-house keeper in Little Distaff-lane, with coals short of measure. The case excited a great deal of interest, and the justice-room was crowded to inconvenience. Mr. Reeves, Mr. Burnstead, and others of the principal coal-meters of London, attended. Mr. Bolland the counsel, and the City Solicitor, were for the prose cution. Mr. Wooler was for the defence. The case was considered the more important as there is an action at law against Mr. Baldwin for the reco very of penalties for wrong quality, by the same prosecutor. Mr. Bolland having stated that the information was for the offence of having supplied a deficient quantity, without any reference to the quality, pro ceeded to call witnesses. Mr. Warreker stated that he gave an order to Mr. Baldwin, on the 18th or 19th of September, for two chaldrons and a half of New Arches Wall's end coal. The coal arrived, and witness found, upon throwing a sack of it into a measure which he had, that the quantity was deficient. lie stopped the men who were shooting the coal into his cellar, and sent for a coal-meter and for Mr. Baldwin. Mr. Baldwin, upon hearing of the matter, said he had desired the meter who measured the coals at the wharf to be particular, us the coals were going to a particular person. The re-measurement of the coals proved the deficiency. Cross-examined—Desired Mr. Baldwin, on or dering the coals, to attend to the quantity as well as quality of the coals, as witness had a tub for ascer taining the former. Mr. Baldwin offered, on finding there was a deficiency, to make it good; but wit ness refused, because he was told it was not proper to accept of any compromise. Mr. Young stated that a written notice had been served upon Mr. Baldwin, who, on the occasion, asked the coal-meter who measured the coals at the wharf whether he had not charged him to be parti cular as to the measurement, to which the latter re plied in the affirmative. Mr. Baldwin then said he was surprised at the short measure. John Vaughan, labouring coal-meter, deposed, that he was called upon to measure coals which had been sold to Mr. - Warreker, who, with Mr. Baldwin, was present while he measured them. Fourteen sacks were short 12 pecks and a half. Witness gave fair measure, and had been accustomed to do so for 16 years. Mr. Edis, of the coal-meter's office, stated, that he was present, and that Vaughan's account was correct. Witness told Mr. Warreker that if he had taken the coals to make up the deficiency, the whole bulk would be forfeited to the poor of the parish. Mr. Wooler.—Does the act state that ? The City Solicitor exhibited the clause to that effect. Mr. Rolland then called Hirst, the meter who measured the coals in the first instance. Hirst deposed, that he measured 31 sacks of Parritan's Wall's End Coals, at Mr. Baldwin's wharf. He measured them fairly. Whether they were or were not fair measure when they reached Mr. Warreker's house he did not know, but he was confident that he had done his duty. Cross-examined by Mr. Wooler—The bushel measure was used on the occasion under his super intendence. Was positive it was. Mr. Wooler—Did not Mr. Baldwin tell you to be sure to be liberal in your measure? Witness—Yes ; and I asked him why he said so, and told him I always did my duty. By the LORD MAYOR—I have been a coal-meter 12 months, and frequently measured coals before then. It is always an adage with Mr. Baldwin to give a little more than a little less. Mr. Wooller admitted the fact of the deficiency. His client had, however, it was evident, given direc tions that ample measure should be given. He had been candidly told that the sacks would be measured, and he had been particular in consequence of that intimation. Why the sacks proved to be deficient could not be accounted for, except the matter could be explained by the fact which he could prove, that Hirst the meter had not used the bushel measure at all. The LORD MAYOR—HOW is this to exonerate the vender from the penalty ? Mr. Wooler—You have the power, my Lord, to mitigate the penalty to nothing. The LORD MAYOR—What you say only goes to inculpate the coal-meter. The public are not pro tected by the course pursued by the defendant. Mr. Wooller thought it right to allude here to the question as to the quality of the coals. The mistak e in that respect arose from the inexperience of a boy in Mr. Baldwin's office, who had sent out the coals with a wrong ticket. The LORD MAYOR said the boy in whom Mr. Baldwin confided must then have signed the meter's name. It was here stated that there was but little diffe rence between the price of one species of coal and the other. The LORD MAYOR said that did not signify. jf even a better species of coal was supplied than the ticket described, the vender was equally liable to a penally. Mr. Wooller then called two witnesses for his client. William Morris said, I am in the employ of Mr. Baldwin. I assisted in filling thirty-one sacks at his wharf on the day you mean. We filled them away, and upon my oath there was never a bushel used at all—never a blessed bushel.—(Laughter.)— The meter was in the barge all the time, and we never uses a bushel, barring he bids us. Cross-examined—We filled the sacks to the top, and put lumps at the top. The sacks came as nigh to three blessed bushels as possible. I'm blesst if they did'nt.—(Laughter.) Mr. Bolland—Did you fill any more coals on that day ? Witness—l knows nothing about any other coals that day. I know I filled the thirty-one sacks —that was all. The LORD MAYOR—WiII you swear that you did not fill sixty-three sacks ? Witness—Why no, I vont swear it; but I came to talk upon this here coal, and I filled thirty-one sacks of it. The LORD MAYOR—Pray why do you recollect any thing about the thirty-one sacks, and forget every thing else?—Vy, my Lord, you see I am an old man, and I forgets.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—You can give the sack a shoulder, can you, so that it shall appear full when it is not so ?—(Laughter.)—The witness looked at the Lord Mayor with some degree of astonishment. The LORD MAYOR—You can nip the sacks at the bottom, can't you ? Witness—l never neither shoulders nor nips. —(Loud laughter.) Mr. Bolland—He can do any thing with the sacks. Witness—l'm blest if this here meter didn't come to me, and ax'd me to go to the David's Harp with him, and he axed me to drink; and says he to me— " I say," says he, " I rants somebody to swear as the coAls was measured in the bushel !" so I says, " I won't do no such thing." " Oh, then," says he, a'ter I took a glass, " I'll get another as will do it."—(Laughter.) Bridgeman, another coal -porter—l was present when the 31 sacks was filled. The meter was stand ing by ail the blessed time we was a Hirt it. We filled 63 sacks afore that, and we used no measure whatsomever. Mr. Bolland replied---,Even supposing the wit nesses for the defence had spoken the truth, Mr. Baldwin wa3 not justified. The public would not be satisfied with such a defence, and nobody could be benefited by what had taken place, except the vender. The LORD MAYOR said that Mr. Baldwin was liable:to the penalties under the A ct , even a d m i t ti n g the veracity of his witnesses. The public required in cases of this kind the most careful protection. The neglect which had been displayed was productive of the injury which fraud was calculated to inflict. His LORDSHIP then fined Mr. Baldwin 20s. upon each sack that wag deficient. There being ten de ficient sacks, the sum of 10/. was the amount of the penalty. Mr. Baldwin gave notice of appeal. BOW-STREEP. The new police are beginning to bestir them selves in putting down the disorderly public houses that abound in the district of this office—a course which had never been effectually pursued under the old system, owing chiefly to the apathy of parish officers, and the notorious corruption of the nightly watch, who it is well known were in the habit of receiving bribes from publicans and brothel keepers, which were given not only with a view to purchase their silence, but to secure their assistance whenever occasion required. The Commissioners of Police gave directions to their officers to report to them such of the public-houses within this division as were notorious for serving liquors at unseasonable hours of the night to the thieves and prostitutes whom they were in the habit of harbouring. In compliance with these directions, several informations have been pre ferred against the :proprietors of disorderly public houses, and yesterday two of them were disposed of by the sitting Magistrates, Mr. MINSIIULL and Sir R. BIRNIE. Edward Syrelt, landlord of the Sun and Apple Tree, White Hart-yard, Catherine -street, Strand, was charged, upo❑ the information of Police In spector Giles, with having, at three o'clock on the morning of Sunday, the 11th of October, unlaw fully suffered persons of notoriously bad character to drink and tipple in his house, contrary to the terms of his licence, and to the statute in that case made and provided. The defendant pleaded " net guilty." Inspector Giles having been sworn, stated that in consequence of information obtained by the Com missioners of Police with regard to the disorderly , manner in which the defendant's house was con ducted, he received particular directions to watch it, and accordingly, at three o'clock on the morning of Sunday, the Ilth instant, he went into the parlour, accompanied loy Seijeant Wood, now present, and found at least 40 persons, men and women, assem bled there. Sir R. BIRNIE—What description of persons were they 2—The Inspector replied, th it the women were all prostitutes, and the men had all the ap pearance of being thieves. Having consulted with Serjeant Wood as to how they should act, it was determined to clear the house, which after some difficulty was effected. A gentleman, named Me rod, who said he was a solicitor, had, by some means or other, found his way to the house, and was sitting on a chair in the parlour in a state of intoxi cation. He was turned into the street amongst the rest, and was knocked dotlii and robbed of his hat, and 14/. in Bank notes and sovereigns, almost op. posite to the door, by some of the persons who had just left the house. Serjeant Wood corroborated the above state ment, and Joseph Chapple, a patrol, added, that some of the men whom they found in the parlour were en gaged in tossing money, and others were at some game in which they were using chalk upon the table. The defendant pleaded that be was in bed at the hour named in the information. He declared that he had himself given directions to one of the new police to clear his house on the night in question. As to persons of notoriously bad characters, he never harboured such to his knowledge. Sir R. BIRNIE said, that the case was fully proved by the evidence of the officers, who it appeared had acted under superior orders. Mr. MINSIIULL said, that in order to teach the defendant that he was not to violate the law with impunity, he should he fined to the fullest extent which the law allowed. The defendant was accordingly fined $/. together with costs, and ordered to be detained until he paid the money. The next information was against Ann Hood, widow, mistress of the orfolk Arms, in the Strand. The offence imputed to her was of a like description, and the hour and morning were also the same. Police Serjeant Perry deposed, that P.t three o'clock on Sunday morning, 11th inst., be was on duty in the Strand, when one of the patrol came and told him that there was a disturbance outside the defendant's house. He (witness) accordingly walked past the house, and hearing persons talking within, he looked in and counted 25 males and fe males, who had all the appearance of being thieves and prostitutes. Witness sent one of his men to advise the defendant to turn out her company and close her house. She kept it open, however, until half-past three o'clock, and then witness counted 27 persons who left the house. Sir R. BIRNIE—Can you take upon you to swear that the men were reputed thieves, and the women prostitutes ? The Seijeant replied, that the men had every appearance of being thieves, and some of the women he knew to he prostitutes. Their lan guage was the most horrible he had ever heard. All the women appeared to be in a beastly state of drunkenness. A patrol corroborated the Serjeant's evidence. The defendant, in reply to the charge, urged that She was a poor widow, with six children to support. She was in the habit, she said, for several years, of providing the compoitors and printers of the Morn ing Chronicle with refieshments during the night; and in the time of Parliament, she was often kept up until morning. On the night in question she had just sent over some tea to the printing room, when several men and women rushed into the house, and she was obliged, in order to get rid of them, to serve them with what they wanted. Sir R. BIRNIE observed, that the witnesses had sworn that the company remained in her house fur at least half an hour. It was not a sufficient excuse to urge that she kept open for the accommodation of printers. That plea might be attended to, per haps, if the accommodation had been limited to printers only. The defendant was then convicted in the mitigated penalty of 40s. and costs. A person named Levy, a Jew dealer, residing in Warren-street, Fitzroy-square, was charged by a Mr. Benjamin, a jeweller, of Bury-street, St. Mary- Axe, with having, in conjunction with a person named James Dewsbury, robbed him of goods to the amount of 401. and upwards. The facts of the case, as detailed in evidence, are briefly these :—ln the course of last week, Dews bury, who is not in custody, introduced himself to Mr. Benjamin, and bargained with him for a gold watch,:for which he agreed to give 18/. On Wed nesday last Benjamin took the watch to the house of Levy, where Dewsbury was residing. 11e showed him the watch, and he (Dewsbury) took it up stairs, for the purpose, as he said, of showing it to his landlord, Levy, and getting his opinion upon it. He then returned to the parlour, and Mr. Benjamin showed him several valuable coral necklaces, ear rings, &c., which he carried about him for the pur pose of sale. These, together with the watch, Dewsbury took ❑p stairs, and in a few minutes Levy came down to the parlour where the complainant was waiting, and showing him a mourning ring, kept him in conversation while Dewsbury made his escape from the house in his morning gown, with the whole of the complainant's property. The complainant swore distinctly that Levy fastened the parlour-door, in order that Dewsbury might escape without de tection. The prisoner solemnly denied the charge, and said he knew nothing whatever of Dewsbury, who had been his lodger for one week only, and had con trived to rob him during that short period. Mr. MINSIIULL said, that the mildest course he could pursue would be to hold the prisoner to bail, in two sureties of 40/. each, and himself in 801., to answer any charge that might be preferred against him at the Sessions, UNION-HALL. Yesterday Craig, the officer, who was directed to look after the girl of the town who robbed a gentle man of 165/. in a brothel, in Canterbury-street, re ported to the Magistrates, Mr. HONE and Mr. EL YARD, that be discovered her lodgings on the pre ceeding night, and on inquiry ascertained that she had abandoned them after the robbery, and the man with whom she cohabited assisted in taking her clothes, &c., away. From further inquiries, it is strongly suspected that the girl and her paramour have absconded together, and left town altogether. The officer, however, has not yet given up the hope of apprehending the guilty party, and the whole of yesterday he was occupied in the search, accom panied by Mr. Porter, who has a perfect recollec tion of the girl's features, and therefore can imme diately identify her. In the course of the day information was given to the Magistrates, that on Wednesday night, about 12 o'clock, as a Mr. David Guthrie was proceeding home, he was knocked down near the Elephant and Castle, and robbed of a gold watch, chain, and seals. The thief was rather a tall man, and was marked with a deep scar on the right cheek. EGYPT. (From a French Paper.) INSTITUTION OF SCIENTIFIC AND MILITARY INSTRUC- TION ESTABLISHED BY THE PACHA-ORGANIZA- TION OF THE ARMY. The military school at Cazerlain, near Cairo, is the principal establishment of instruction ; Achmet Effendi is at its head. It contains 600 pupils, as well Turks and Arabs as the children of European officers, from 12 to 16 years of age. They are here taught the Turkish, Arabic, and Italian languages, arithmetic, geometry, de signing, and the details of service. In the course, which continues four years, every thing has a view to a military life. At quitting the establishment the pupils undergo an examina tion : those who answer well are placed on the staff, or are removed to a higher school. Those who answer less satisfactorily are sent into the army as sub-officers. The school of the staff, under Nurreddin- Bey, at Djad-Abad, is under the direction of M. Planat. It contains 70 students taken from the military school, who are taught the higher branches of mathematics, algebra, geometry, gun nery, engineering, and fortification ; also the drawing of plans, the Arabic, Persian, and French languages, and the practice of military manoeuvres. The course in this school lasts three years. In the following year they are taught natural philosophy, history, geography, and the highest branches of the mathematics. Cheik- Hassan is professor of arithmetic, al gebra, and geometry ; Ariff-Effendi, of Arabic and Turkish ; M. Planet professes gunnery and civil engineering; M. Tolgt, military manoeuvres ; MM. Pachot and Konig teach French, and M. Finzi instructs in drawing and designing. The ' situations in the three offices of the staff are held by students of this school. Thus the field ser vice is under Selim-Bey, correspondence under Osman- Bey, and the archives are under the care of Paulici and Tarbe. The Arabs are distinguished by their great taste for the sciences, while the young Turks excel as draughtsmen. In the school of officers of Inakhile, esta blished chiefly for young Turks and Arabs, they are instructed in the guidance and management of armies. In three schools, under the direction of Sorania, 220 pupils are instructed in music. The school of medicine and surgery, under Dr. Clot, contains 110 Arabic students. It is established in the vast hospital of d'Abuzabel, which is capable of accommodating 1,500 patients. In this school pathology and surgery are taught by Dr. Clot ; anatomy by Dr. Gae tano; chymistry, and the history of medicine, by Dr. Barthelemy ; botany by Dr. Figari ; medicine by Dr. Bernard; French by M. Neelli; and anatomical demonstrations by the director, Dr. Clot. The professors have each a salary of 330 francs per month, besides 175 francs for inci dental expellees. It was M. Planat, a French officer, who in troduced the European discipline into the army of the Egyptian Viceroy. Since the death of the late Minister of War, Mahomet Bey, the disciplinary system has been intrusted to a com mission of instruction, composed of General Osman Bey, Colonel Selim Bey, Colonel Gaudin, Lieutenant-Colonel Ferisole, Lieutenant-Colonel Jolyt, M. Planat, the director of the staff school, two professors, and a secretary. The general staff of the army is not yet organized : Ibrahim is its chief. The special staff is composed of a colonel, two majors, six adjutants• general, six adjutants-major, thirty eight captains, and eighteen lieutenants—in all seventy-one officers. It is established in the camp at Djad Abad, near Cairo. There are al ready raised regular works for taking plans and elevations, and for topographical instruction. The infantry is divided into regular and irre gular troops. The former consist of 12 regi ments of 4,000 men each ; two battalions, with out any fixed number, and a company of gen dannes—in all 50,000 men. In the irregular troops arc counted 5,000 Turks, and 1,200 Maugrabes (barbarians.) Each regiment has five battalions (each battalion con sisting of eight compan►es of 100 men), com manded by a colonel, four majors, ten adjutants, five ensigns, five professors, five fourriers, be longing to the staff' of the regiment. Every company has one captain, one lieuten ant, two sub-lieutenants, four serjeants, eight corporals, two drummers, and eighty-one rank and file. the cavalry is not yet organized according to the European system. L. consists of 6,000 horse, divided into six corps, commanded by the Beys and Kachefs of the provinces. The artillery consists of three battalions, each having eight companies of 100 men, 34 train companies, two of artificers, and 1,000 can noneers, veterans in these fortresses. The Artillery-school, under Mussein-Bey, at Cairo, has 30 pupils. The fonndry at Cairo is entirely under the mana g ement of Frenchmen. In the camp at Djad-Ahad there are eight batteries of six pieces each, with the necessary teams of horses. At Cairo there are four bat talions of old artillery. The corps of engineers consists of 12 com panies of sappers of 100 men each ; but it is de ficient in officers. The whole of the army amounts to 66,000 men, in a population of 3,000,000. The re cruiting is carried on, in a great measure, by force, and without any fixed regulation. Fel lahs (peasants) are impressed whenever they can be caught, and are brought to the camp, where they are drilled. Sometimes the Paella pur chases slaves in the markets of Darpur, Senaar, and Cordofan. These slaves are as quick in learning their exercise as the fellahs, but all the officers are selected from the Turks, Arabs, or re negades. The uniform consists of a shirt, a waistcoat, and pantaloons of woollen stuff. In the winter it is red, and in summer it is of white cotton.— The waistcoat has a small strait collar, the waist , band and pantaloons fit closely to the body. On the head is a cap of woollen cloth, and on ti: e feet are shoes, after the Eastern fashion. the winter a mantle of white or black is addedg ° the dress. The dress of the officers is distinguished by embroidery on the sleeves and breast ; sometiMe: also by decorations of cloth, of silver, of gol d ' and even of diamonds. The soldiers carry thei r , effects in a leathern k na p sac k : l o ng big', pouches ; a musket and b a y one t, i n th e Freue" manner, sabres slightly curved (which come frou l Germany), for officers, form their equipment.'" The artillery have muskets and sabres. The cavalry is without commission, but is well mounted. The irregular infantry is 00 in the Albanian fashion. The maintenance and pay of the army . el e both excellent ; the p a y of a p r i va t e soldier without including victuals and clothing, is 49 paras ; that of a sub-officer, a piaster ; a sui r lieutenant, 200 paras per month, a lieutensol has 350, a captain, 500 ; a major, 1,500; • lieutenant-colonel, 4,000; a colonel, 8,0 0; besides allowances for maintenance and uniforM; Those who instruct the Eur o pe a n disciplin e are divided into f o ur c l asses , o f w hi c h the fir st has 350 francs ; the second, 250 ; the thim 175; and the fourth, 110 francs per month► besides a horse, rations, two sets of u n iform, , °r 350 francs and a mouth's pav extra, a nd wi_., l2a duty free.

A full surge° 330 francs per month ; an assistant-surge ° 250 ; and hospital mates 175, exclusive of it tions, clothing, and certain gratuities. The medical staff of the army is extremelf well kept up. They have very extensive hose' tals. M. Clot is the Surgeon-General, e. Doctors Brasari, Karakuki, and Martini, forty ° medical board. The rule of the service now is, that prooh tion is regulated by length of service.

ALLEGED IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE' (From the Glasgow Fres Press,) We are told by anticipation that the last quarter'aL el venue is to exhibit an incre a s e over th e corresponovJJ quarter of the preceding year, to th e amoun t o f 105 200,000/., and some of the London Journals are, as 1 1111 congratulating the country on this proof of its favourol:, condition ! But they neglect to mention that, but for .1 1 large importation of foreign corn, the duties on Wh ic have amounted, as some affirm, to nearly a million, ly it decrease in this quarter's account would h ave b e en / considerable. In every department of the revenue Wh y forms an index to the state of the people, there has a marked falling off; yet this is carefully left out of /7 ) . by the class of commentators to whom we allude, and, oo o general result only referred to, as indieating_ an ausplei order of things! 0 0 ' This system of deception is now, however, too well y, derrtood to impose upon any one. The peoile tressed, and they have set themselves resolutely to be r what they f e el, in op e n d e fi ance o f a ll ki n dly M ean t so": 4, ances to the contrary. Mr. Cobbett is right in aflirto that, before the lapse of many additional months, he 111 have the " Feast of the Gridiron." The country is e:f, beginning to exhibit impatience under its unpar a lleled', , ferings, and Government, compelled by stern n ec eOl g will, ere long, again administer to it the peace-inspi, r , l n t dose of a small-note currency. Thi s , or some equigno measure, must very speedily be resorted to, else the prr,ie Ministry's possession of p ower w ill no t b e wor th a ' lll° day's purchase. jo Those few Journals throughout the country, whiee' the face of every sp ec i es o f o pp os iti on , h are boldly od honestly'pertevered in warning the public of the effee ti r r be dreaded from the Small-note Act, and in faithfullfilor presenting those effects as they successively resulted ro p the measure, when that measure is at last dep a rted have good cause to enjoy a triumph, and take to selves credit for their foresight and consistency. We 101 l then, offer, our sincere congratulations to the L.

Where are the proofs o f e r much-to-be-desired change? Although Glasgow ion,:al tioned as one of the commercial towns in which a re o l has taken place, no one can discover a single proof to 'Tv effect, but a very great abundance to the contrary. of fact is that at present the retail :dealers and other.. 00 , making a few purchases of winter sto c k, b u t w ith cau P t isl, and to a very limited amount ; and it is upon this Pe o r pa l circumstance, which briefly quickens the demand foFgl• t ict i the same period, every y ear , th a t our f a i r - wea ther, P 4 " l „ig soothsayers are at pr e s en t b u ildi ng th e i r assumptions tilts to general permanent improvement !
