A telegraphic dispatch from Constahtinople of the 17th announces, says the Moniteur, that the arrange ments proposed by M. de Lavalette, relative to the affair of Tripoli and to the other representations of the same kind, with which he was charged, have been accepted by the Ottoman Porte. The Patric of Tuesday evening published a pars graph, complaining of misrepresentations in the Lon don journals of the reception of the Prince President by the people and the National Guards on the 15th inst. This paragraph is given also by the Moniteur of yesterday, and therefore no doubt can be enter tained of its having eminated from an official source. There is also in the Moniteur of this day an article on the subject of misrepresentation addressed in a direct manner to the Times. ON ROY AL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUT' - • Dr. Bachhoffner has just commenced a very in' structive and interesting lecture on the mode of pre serving fresh provisions. The Professor drew the attention of his audience to the great advantages which would arise from a more general adoption of the canister mode of preserving food. The learned Doctor then stated that in many parts of the world, of which South Australia, South America, and Mol davia were an example, animals were slaug for their hides and tallow, whereas, if if the herme tic method of canister preserving were adopted, a sou rce of wholesome food would be provided for consumpt ion in less favoured regions. The Doctor then stated that b e f e lt perfectly con vinced that provisions preserved in this manner would be highly advantageous to families on account of its portability and economy. All plain dishes, he stated, were fully equal in qu a lity t o the products of recent cooking, and the soups and made dishes were greatly superior. The main object of Dr. Bachhoffner 's lecture was to explain the nature and advantag es of preserved provisions, but he also favoured his audience with some interesting details concerning the culinary art in all ages and countries. This subject on edibles by the learned Doctor was followed by a highly appropriate lecture by the chemical professor, Mr. pepper, on the bitter ale manufactured by Messrs. Allsopp and others ; for good provender should be accompanied by agreeable and refreshing beverage. __— ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY. (From the North British Daily Mail) A correspondent writing from Southend, Kintyre, communicates to us the following romantic inci dents :—" In the district of Southend lived a widower upwards of fifty years of age, and a weaver by his trade. About a mile distance from his residence there resided the widow of a farmer, ten years older than himself, who had a family of grown-up sons. They were both bereft of their partners within a few weeks of each other, and it appears that ever since a tender attachment had taken possession of both their widowed hearts. Frequent sly opportu nities for courtship were afforded the lovesick swain by his aged inamorata, who, in fear of filial vengeance, took the precaution to admit her lover to her bed-chamber by the window after all had gone to rest. Here they talked over their little plans of future happiness, and enjoyed each other's sweet society till the crowing of the cock and prudence induced a cruel parting. Like all other delicate subjects of romance, their true love did not run smooth—' Heigh°, till' wind and rain !' The widow's two grown-up sods were the mortal enemies of their mother's sweet heart, and watched his movements so closely that the utmost stealth and caution had to be adopted in managing their tetes-ci-tote. For some time back this cruel annoyance became so oppres sive to these love-smitten ones that they resolved to put an end to all their sufferings by an elopement, for the purpose of getting spliced. Accordingly, on the night of the Bth instant, this second Romeo and his Julliet disappeared. Next morning the cruel and undutiful sons gave pursuit, and apprehended the fugitives at Campbeltown, when about to take the steamer for Glasgow. The widow was brought back in triumph by her hard-hearted children to Southend, where they locked her up in her room, and kept a strict watch over her. The knight of the shuttle, however, was not to be baffled so easily of his fair prize, and watched his opportunity. The vigilance of the stern sons of the widow having some what relaxed, the mature lovers found means of com municating with each other and laying a plot to de feat their enemies. On the night of Thursday last, the 18th inst., the weaver hired two daring boatmen to be in readiness to row him and his true love across the Channel to Ireland in an open boat, a distance of 20 miles. Having completed his arrangements at this point, the gallant weaver, as soon as he conjec tured that the household of his fair treasure was fast under the influence of the drowsy god, proceeded, accompanied by a trusty friend, up Glenbrackrie, and stealthily took out the widow's pony from the stable and yoked it to her gig. At a signal, the fair one's bed-room window opened, and a friendly ladder having been placed for her accommodation, she was soon in the arms of her faithful knight, and safely placed in the vehicle, and away " They are gone over bank, bush, and scam; They'll have fleet steeds that follow, quoth young (old) Lochinvar.' Onward they drove with railway speed to Carskey Bay—a distance of two miles—and here the boatmen were waiting steadily at their post. With all haste the now happy pair embarked in their light skiff; the boatmen plied their brawny arms ; and the vessel's prow cut through the blue water. But what sights and what sounds are these ! The two sons, attired in their trousers and shirts only, are on the beach. " Come back, come back, they cried in grief, You may have stormy weather, And I'll forgive you weaver thief, My mither! oh, my mither!' But no—on dashed the boat ; and the gallant Lotha rio sent back a shout of defiance, while " One brawny arm was round the holm, And one was round their mother;' The pursuers, however, were not thus to lose their sexagenarian love-smit parents. Foaming with rage, they sprung into a fishing boat, and an exciting chase commenced. Strong arms bend the oars, and the boats near each other before they are more than a quarter of a mile from the shore. " Now, gentle lover, hold thy own, No maiden's arms are round thee thrown.' The boats are about to grapple , but the knight of the 11:adinandadechisiisve' c e o ff u ec ra t ge screwed ' to the sticking place,' a nd was not to be conquered without a struggle. His boat was ballasted with some large stones ; one of these he lifted and with the force of a Titan hurled it at the fra il many bar qu e foro hisit crashed d rs in th T e h s i i s d a e r o ti f lle th ry e young men, Pursuing skiff as • '• and put lt shot.

But though be a t b ack they were not defeated ; raging, like a she bea r's cubs deprived of their dam; they seized and manned another boat and renewed the chase. The fugitives by this time, however, were beyond sight. Still the (reliant hearts were resolved to die in the attempt or save their mother, and wreak their vengeance on their would-be stepfather, whom the y . swore th ey wou l d im molate to their resentment. After a gallant chase, the s i n came in sight of ono another about mid a matter of life and death with foragain launcbingthe ballast at the weaver, and he was c b h o a a n is ne Bg l. It now bec ame companion, who would not permit the breast of his boat and thereby endangering his pursuers; the risk of sinking the the lives of her va li a nt sons ; nevertheless, they clos e d i n b att l e, an d a terrible scene arose, in which both parties fought like heroes, dealin g fearful blo ws at each other with their oars.

As it was useless to attempt further pursuit in their disabled condition the vanquished w ights were compelled to scull their boat with a single oar back towards Kintyre, a distance of ten weary milts ; while the victor, with soul elate, sang in triumph, Oh, steer my barque to Erin's Isle !' The sun w a s high in the heavens next morning ere the young men, weak and faint from the hot pursuit and engagement, reac h e d the i r nat i ve shore, hard-fought where a number of anxious friends were waiting to receive them. The amorous couple have not since been heard of, but it is to be hoped that after all their difficulties and 'hair-breadth 'stapes by flood and field,' they have now attained the object of their wishes, despite of their reluctant and naughty chil dren, and that they are now spending a happy honey moon in some corner o f the E meral d I sle, undis turbed by fears of molestation or surprise. 4g The principal actor in the above ludicrous affair is a na ti v e, we believe, of the parish of West Kit bride, *here he formerly p li e d t h e shutt l e, b ut h a 3 for a number of years rented a small farm in Kintyre." CITY BRANCH SOUP KITCHEN 6' HOSPICE, VICTORIA. STREET, HOLBORN-BRIDGE. The ceremony of opening this institution was cele brated yesterday, the Right Hon. the' Lord Mayor, as president, officiating (the chairman and founder bi.ini Sir F. Kelly , Kr, her Maj 2s ty' s A ttorney -G enera l)' 'Cho retectory, or dining room, was filled with a highly respectable company. Shortly after the arrival of the Lord Mayor, who was received by Mr. Charles Cochrane, the Rev. Dr. Barber, and Mr. Lenten (of Leicester-square), &c., the Rev. Dr. Barber opened the proceedings of the day in a very im pressive address and prayer, in which the Rev. Gentle man reminded his auditory of the duty which devolved upon all classes of Christians to provide for and sustain their poorer brethren, It was only necessary for him to repeat the words of the Scripture—" The poor shall never cease out of the land, therefore I command thee, say i n g, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, and to the needy in thy land. Thou shalt surely give, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him, because for this thing the Lord t hy God shall bless thee in all thy works and in all thou puttest hand unto." The Rev. Gentleman, whose ad dress was listened to with profound attention, concluded by calling on the assembly to join him in the Lord's p r ayer—a request which was fervently responded to. The LORD afAiron said, that placed as he was in the position of first magistrate of this city, he could not hesitate to lend his assistance, in coejunetion with many of his friends whom he saw about him, in originating a plan which had been developed some time since by many gentlemen for whom he entertained the highest respect, and which had for its object the amelioration of the condition, morally and physically, of their poorer brethren.. .e(Rear.) Rich though many of them might be, yet recollecting that they, not less than those for whose relief they were that day assembled, were daily dependent upon the providence of a Supreme Being, they should be careful to provide for the wants of those who had not the ability to take care of themselves. He hoped that those to whom the management of the insti tution was consigned would be careful at all times to in culcate among the re c ipients a grateful f ee li ng t owar d s those by whom their wants were relieved. He found that there were a variety of objects contemplated in this institution, and first he would specially allude to the lavatories, &c. ; and he must say that he held cleanliness to be a great and paramount object in the promotion of the physical and sanitary condition of the poor. Another object was to instruct the inmates in the duties of domestic servants; and upon this point he dwelt upon the necessity of a reciprocity of kindly feeling as between masters and servants. For himself he could only say that he took a part in all such movements as this on ;he broad principle of trying in his generation to effect some good for his fellow-creatures. Another object which would be attempted was to check street mendi cancy. It was the weakness of human nature not to resist an appeal to individual charity, and hence it was that the vast majority of the public could seldom refuse the appeal of the mendicant in the street, whose case might not be worthy of attention. To correct this evil, it was intended by this institution to appoint six officers, who would be called superintendent?, whose duty it would be, as far as possible, to restrain such indiscrirni eate relief, by referring all applicants to the institution, where they would be relieved. Another object was the establishment of a free registry for servants, it being understood that the society would give no recommenda tion unless the character of each applicant should bear the most rigid inquiry. Ho recollected that some 20 or 25 years since, subscriptions were raised for the " house less poor," which effort was attended with great success. This institution had the same end in view. The dormie tones, which would not be ready till the autumn, he most confidently anticipated would be productive of vast benefit. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by ex pressing his hope that the Great Giver of all good gifts would bestow his blessing on this vast and Christianlike undertaking. The building is admirably adapted for the purposes required. In the gallery at the top there is a place set apart where servants are instructed to clean windows, boots, and plate; to weigh, to pack parcels, &a., and we mention with great satisfaction a room in which tables are laid out in regular form for a dinner, with side tables fur dessert, &c. The cooking apparatus is con structed by Messrs. Smith and Phillips, gas engineers and patentees, and it is applicable equally for heating, cooking, and ventilating. The renowned Soyer is the su perintendent of the cuisine, we were informed, but we did not see him on the occasion. The dormitories con tain 22 beds for men, which number will be increased to 40; the female wards contain 18 beds. Of the efficiency of the gas a pparatus in cookin g we h a d un d ou b te d proo f in a substantial repast, of which we had the pleasure to partake; and we have to a c k now l e d ge t h e great cour tesy of Mr. Len t on, who acted as ch a i rman , Mr. Smart, the secretary , &c. The proceedings of the day gave general satisfaction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

James Phillips ' and Richa rd Adams, two res pea . table-looki ng young men, were placed at th e b ar before Mr. lltyiscouuT, charged with the following most adroit robberies : sto k e Newington,. stated . Mrs. Emma s• Oa the wife of a jeweller a n d silversmith in Ili i g n r- n st ' re l et, that on the afternoon of the preceding Monday th e prisoner Adams" entered her shop alone, and, after n 'T liri ng the - price of some gold shirt•studs which were exhibited in the w indow, selected and purcha se d a set, and place d his hand into his p n ,,d„ t for them. H e for the apparent purpose of ptlYing immediatly, however, withdrew his hand, .with on air of much surprise and vexation, and observing that be bad unfortunately either lost or come out without his Purse, requested her to set the studs by for him unt i l the evening, when he would call with the mo ney. She consented to do so, and the prisoner left the shop, but did not keep his O ppointment ; and she heard nothing more of him until a subsequent evening, when a constable entered with a lady's gold brooch in his hand, and having asked her if she knew anything of it, she immediately recognised it as having bean stolen from a glass case of jewellery, which was kept at that part of the counter where the prisoner had been stand- , ing at the time of his visit about the studs. Witness then recollected that on coming out of the parlour to attend to the prisoner she observed that the glass case, which had baen before closed, was then partly open, but the prisoner's appearance seemed to he too re spectable to justify any suspicion, and, not having in consequence examined the contents of the case, she was not aware that she had been robbed until the brooch was brought to the shop by the officer. The brooch in this case was discovered in conse quence of the circumstances attending another charge of a similar nature preferred by Mrs. Jane Rogers, a fancy stationer at Stamford-hill, from whose state ment it appeared that both prisoners called there on Tuesday se'nnight, and asked to be shown some silk purses. A number were placed before them, but they left without purchasing anything, and a few minutes after they had gone she missed a whole package of penknives from the counter; she gave immediate in fbrmation of the robbery to a constable, who pursued and captured the prisoners, who were transferred to the station, but the stolen property could not be dis covered. The prosecutrix, however, was positive es to the robbery, and, the gold brooch having been found in the possession of Phillips, they were both detained upon the double charge, although Phillips declared that he had purchased the article, and was confirmed by Adams, who professed to have been present at the time, and also to have made a purchase himself at the same shop. The prisoners protested their innocence and honesty, but Watts, a constable of the N division, identified them both as the constant associates of thieves for the last two years, one of them having, moreover, been con victed of felony, and they were therefore committed for trial upon one charge, and ordered to be brought up again in a week, it having been intimated that other charges of a like description would no doubt be preferred against them, if an opportunity were af forded for that purpose.

SUL. on the 17th ; and then increased to 30'07 in. by the end of the week. LAMBETH. John William Taverner, a young man of respect able appearance, was placed at the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton, for final examination, on a charge of plundering his master, Mr. Thomas Griffin, a linen draper, carrying on business, at 7, Beckford-row, Walworth. Mr. Griffin stated that the prisoner entered his ser vice as shopman on Friday, the 13th instant, and on the following day witness left town and did not re• turn until Friday, the 20th. From what he was then told he charged the prisoner with misconducting him self in his absence, and said he wished to see the contents of his box. On examining the box he found in it three silk handkerchiefs, seven pairs of gloves, and a piece of satinette, all his property. On making this discovery he sent for a constable, and on further examining the prisoner's boxes he found five yards of black silk, four yards of black satinette, 16 yards of glace silk, three yards of Irish cloth, five yards of muslin, seven silk handkerchiefs, and a satin scarf, all of which belonged to him, and which were acknowledged by the prisoner to be his property, and were of the value of ill. Witness also found in his room a concertina and a new box, and the prisoner, when asked how he came by them, acknowledged that he had taken a piece of silk, which he pawned for 205., and a piece of satinette, which he pawned for 15s. The piece of silk now produced, and also the piece of satinette, were his property, and were of the volue of 4/. Mr. NORTON—Have you had a character with this young man, Mr. Griffin P Mr. Griffin—l had, Sir, a very good character; but his former master is here, and wishes to say something about him. Mr. NORTON—Why this seems a wholesale robbery. In one short week the prisoner seems to have robbed you of property amounting to 15/. I suppose there is some gambling at the bottom of it ? Prisoner— No, Sir, there is not. A shopman in the service of Messrs. Spink and Son, pawnbrokers, 2, Gracecburch-street, produced two pieces of silk which had been pledged at the shop of his master on the 16th inst. for U. 155.; but he could not say that the prisoner was the person who pawned them. The former master of the prisoner said that after he had left his situation a quantity of property had been missing; but he had no means of proving that it had been stolen by the prisoner. Mr. Griffin here said he had no doubt whatever that the prisoner was connected with a gang of bad characters, as a man dressed as a butcher called on him at the shop, and this person, being watched off, was seen to join three or four others in the neighbourhood, some of whom carried bags similar to those used by lawyers—or he might add, " con veyancers." The prisoner, who expressed his sorrow for his con duct, was fully committed for trial. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The health of London is still depressed by the prevailing epidemic, and 1,084 deaths have been re gistered in the third week in August. In the cor responding week 2,456 of the inhabitants died three years oleo ; white in other years the deaths ranged from 842 to 1,057, and were, after correcting for in crease of population, 1,013 on an average. 238 deaths were referred to diarrhoea, 18 to cholera ; of the latter 16, of the former 176 were children under the age of 15. Two old people died of cholera, 19 of diarrhoea, which was also fatal to 13 persons of the middle age of life (15-60). Scarlatina, that enemy of the young child, was fatal to 27 boys and 22 girls, of whom two were 15- 20, twenty-two were 4 and under 10 years of age. Forty persons, comprising 25 adults, died of typhus, 4 only of measles, 13 of hooping-cough, 14 of small pox. Within the last three weeks smallpox has de clined. In the week no death from influenza, scurvy, or ague was registered, and only 2 from infantile re mittent fever. Consumption destroyed 140 lives, tabes 29, hydrocephalus 37; 41 persons died of disease of the heart, 41 of pneumonia, 21 of bron chitis, 22 of cancer, 29 of violence —namely, 2by burns or scalds, 5 by hanging or suffocation, 4by drowning, 16 by fractures and contusions, 1 by wounds, and 1 by other violence. Of child-bearing 8 mothers died. 581 males and 403 females-606 children under the age of 15, 316 men and women under, and 162 above, the age of 60—died in London in the week from all causes, out of about 2,420,000 living. This mortality is much below that experienced in the other large cities i n th e wor ld ; but the untimely age at death, as well as a comparison with other places in England, shows that in this city there is still a great waste of life, health, and energy, which may be saved by draining London, and by other hygienic arrange ments. While cholera is in Warsaw those measures should be carried out which experience has shown cannot be attempted when the epidemic is in London. The following are the returns of the 18 cases of cholera registered in the week. " Summer" ha 3 been substituted throughout for " English" cholera, or cholera Anglica, wherever it is used in the medical certificate. At Westbourne-gardens, in the sub -district of Kensington-town, on the 15th August, the son of a carpenter, aged 8 months, " summer cholera (5 days)." At Chepstow-mews, in the same sub district, on the 17th August, the daughter of a job-master, aged 10 months, " summer cholera (3 days)." At 9, Farm-lane, in the sub-district of Fulham, on the 14th August, the son of a single woman, aged 2 months, " diarrhoea or summer cholera (5 days)." The medical man who attended this case states that a great many cases of diarrhoea, have occurred in the same place. The houses in Farm-lane have privies adjoining them, they are full to overflowing, and are intolerable. At 1, Graham-street West, in the subdistrict of Belgrave, on the 15th of August, the wife of a coaoh smith, aged 72 years, " cholera (3 days)." At 29, New-end, in Hampstead, on the 14th August, the son of a painter, aged 6 months, " diarrhoea (3 days), summer cholera (30 hours). At 25, Upper Cleveland-street, in the sub-district of Tottenham-court, St. Pancras, on the 18th August, the son of a servant, aged 6 months, " infantile cholera."
