SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Our readers will see that at the close of the poll for Middlesex at four o'clock yesterday, the numbers stood thus Mr. Byng . • • • 3,644 Mr. Wood . . . . 3,620 Mr. Pownall . • . . 3,437 Mr. Hume . • . . 3,395 At that time, then, Mr. Byng was 24 a-head of Wood, and Mr. Wood 225 a-head of Mr. Hume, and Mr. Pownall 42 a-head of him. But at one o'clock the numbers were— Mr. Wood . . . . 3,13 5 Mr. Pownall . . . • 3,002 Mr. Byng 2,766 . • • • Mr. Hume . • • • 2,577 It thus, appears that at one o'clock Mr. Wood was 369 in advance of Mr. Byng, and 558 in advance of Mr. Hume ; and that Mr. Pownall was 241 in ad vance of Mr. Byng, and 425 in advance of Mr. Hume. Between one and four o'clock the Reformers polled out of all proportion more than the Tories. The numbers in that interval who polled were— For Mr. Byng . • . . 878 Mr. Hume . . . . . 818 Mr. Wood . . . . . 485 Mr. Pownall . . . . 430 We have gone into this minute analysis of the poll ing to show that if the Reformers do their duty, Messrs. Byng and Hume cannot fail to be returned. The polling between one and four o'clock shows what can be done. They have yet to gain 225 votes to place Mr. Hume on an equality with Mr. Wood. Now as Mr. Hume gained 333 on Mr. Wood during three hours, he may surely gain at least 225 in the course of this day. We call on Reformers, by all that they hold in regard, to make this exertion, and to place Messrs Byng and Hume at the top of the poll. Do not let England be disgraced through the county of Middlesex. In many counties electors are either without decided opinions, or in de pendent circumstances, especially the tenantry at will, and the state of the poll is more the subject of regret than of astonishment. But Middlesex, the metropo litan county, is more favourably circumstanced. The Tories are making great exertions, but the Reformers can, if they choose, beat them. Do not let it be said that they were deficient in zeal. What man has ever devoted himself with more singleness of purpose to the service of the public than Mr. Hume ? Were this man to be thrown out by the supineness of the elec tors of Middlesex, public spirit would receive an irre coverable blow ; for who would feel within himself the encouragement to labour for the welfare of beings who showed in so marked a manner that the exertion was rewarded with such marked ingratitude ? And who is the man for whose sake Mr. Hume would be displaced ? We know nothing of Mr. Wood beyond what the Times chooses to inform us, that he is a young gentleman well known at Almack's and at Crockford's. If he pass through the world without doing mischief, we will answer for it that he will never do any good. The cause of the Tory hatred to Mr. Hume is, that he has done much good to the people, and will do more ; and Mr. Wood is their idol because they know that he has no sym pathy with the people. Once more, electors of Mid dlesex, do your duty ! ...Attend early at the polling places this day. What ought to be done cannot be too soon done. Leave Mr. Wood to the indulgence of his pleasures at Almack's and Crockford's. He may ruin himself there; but in Parliament he may ruin the nation. Place, then, Messrs. Byng and Hume at the head of the poll. Mr. Pownall, who pretends at least to some sanctity, by being confined to private life will have leisure to read homilies to Mr. Wood from the text supplied to him by the Times. All we care for is, that Messrs. Byng and Hume be speedily placed at the top of the poll.— Morning Chronicle. THE MIDDLESEX ELECTION. To the poll, Reforming Electors of Middlesex, with all possible speed ! There are now but eight hours before you to seal your character ; but these eight hours are more than sufficient to overturn all the gain which the Tory corruptionists acquired yesterday. Activity and energy are only wanted to ensure the most decided triumph. Hurne, it is true, is some 300 below the highest Tory candidate on the poll—but that is nothing—upon the last election he gained upon the second day FIVE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN ! over his Tory competitor in the last two hours ; and yesterday, although at 12 o'clock he was upwards of 600 behind Mr. Wood, his minority at four was reduced to nearly one-half of what it was at the previous hour I Electors of Middlesex ! be therefore up and stirring. There is time enough to turn the scales—there is suffi • dent Reform strength to win the battle of Reform—but if, through indolence, or neglect, or inattention, Byng and Hume be superseded by two obscure Tories—the curse of every Reformer will most deservedly light upon you For our own part we have no fear. The Tories have been active, but their strength is polled out. We will readily concede to them the head of the poll till twelve o'clock ; but after that hour we shall he surprised indeed if they can poll one to any three who shall appear for Hume and Byng. We say nothing about bribery : on that point the Tory Candidates, if returned, would be unseated. We do not wish to have the question tried on that ground—we would rather that there should be such a clear majority for the Re form Candidates as to render a scrutiny unnecessary. That matter is in the hands of the electors, and we therefore conclude, as we began, by saying, Reform Electors of Middlesex, to the poll immediately, or be for ever disgraced I Byng's statement : Byng . . . .

The majority of Wood, at twelve, over Hume, was as follows inclosed. You will see the great pull up. It was also gradual. Hume is in good spirits, and confident. I think we shall gain the day, in the same glorious manner as at the last election. Byng's account is certainly the most correct—it makes Hume be 226 less than Wood. At twelve Wood was 621 a-head of Hume. This progress gives more than hope--the constituency is 12,850—n0t much more than 7,000 hare polled. The Tories blocked up the avenues to the poll this morning at several booths. Yours, very faithfully, H. T. August 3, 1837. Last Electio❑ : FIRST DAT. Byng Hume Wood 2,436 1,934 2,001 -67 SECOND DAY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 12.—0 n the Bth Lord Pon sonby sent home dispatches. If I mistake not they must have contained amongst other things one piece of intelli gence which ought to be agreeable to Government, viz., that it has finally been agreed upon that the exportation of grain from this country shall not only be granted, but that at the very moderate duty of about Is. 6d. per quarter. The exportation of tallow, hemp, and various other ar ticles, which have hitherto been laid under restrictions (to foster the strength of Russia) is also soon to be equally al lowed. The corn crops in Turkey have been so good this year that there will already be a considerable surplus for the supply of any foreign demand that may show itself, and in two or three years we are likely to feel more extensively the good result of the wise measure alluded to. Letters from Smyrna mention that the English fleet is shortly expected in that neighbourhood from Malta, no doubt for change of air, the crews of several of the ships having suffered from cholera. The plague at Smyrna has so greatly diminished that the bazaars must have been opened by this time. Here the disorder has not become worse ; indeed, to judge from the Greek hospital re port, a sensible improvement has taken place. In the mean time I am sorry to say that Mrs. Dwight, wife of the American missionary, died on Saturday last, and nearly all the persons who are unfortunate enough to catch the disorder fall victims to its still increasing violence. At Smyrna there is a day (15th August) when the last germs of plague are thought to be eradicated in that burn ing climate, and on the day alluded to the inhabitants, without any in quiry, vote the plague extinct, and pay no further attention to it, all their energies being soon after absorbed in the great work of fig-picking. I can obtain nothing to confirm the report alluded to in my last, as to the Shah of Persia having decided on executing his famous projects on Herat, the Russians to furnish 40,000 men to defend his throne, in case of its being menaced in consequence of a reverse. It is true that nobody contradicts this intelligence, but if it were a fact, it would, in all probability, be more generally known ; there fore I am inclined to discredit the rumour altogether. Be sides, the Russians would hardly, at this moment, incur the risks that might spring from so dangerous a demonstration on her part. WARFARE IN CIRCASSIA. For several days past reports are in circulation that there has been fighting between the Russians and Circassians. At Trebisonde, it was said last week, that the former having landed at a seaport (supposed to be Pschadt), were prepar ing to fortify their position, protected by the guns of seve ral men-of-war. Before they had concluded their labours, however, a storm arose, which obliged the ships to slip their cables and get out to sea, lest they should be driven on the coast. As soon as the vessels were out of sight, the bold Circassians attacked the landed troops in great numbers, and completely overpowered them. The Russians, on the contrary, say they have gained a victory over the Circas sians, which they very possibly may have done in some place. Certain it is, that the Circassians nowhere are very low spirited, and one would judge that they have received no favourable news from home. Not a single word of or from Messrs. Bell and Longworth. Circassia is a kind of mousetrap ; it is much easier to get into it than out of it. The fete at Haidar Pacha commenced on Saturday, and continued for three days. On Sunday a Council was held there, at which there was a large attendance. On Mon day the Foreign Ambassadors with their suites were in vited. They need not have taken their suites with them, however, as sweets and ices in abundance were served up to them, and they got nothing else, except a sight of some horsemanship and rope-dancing. Their Excellencies having had their fill of these diplomatic amusements, themselves danced off, after they had received the civilities of a few high officers of the Sultan. There was an immense throng of people on the ground, elbowing each other, as if there was no such thing as plague in the world. The American frigate Constitution is hourly expected here from the Dardanelles, where she arrived some days back. She brings Governor Cass and family. The schooner Shark has sailed for Athens. It will be remembered that several months ago the Turkish Government asked the Go vernment of the United States to send out a few officers for the Ottoman nary. The President's answer has now been received. He says that in the American service there are no supernumerary officers, and that over such officers as have withdrawn from the service the Government has no control ; but that if from among the latter the Sultan can select a few who are willing to join his fleet, the United States can have no objection to his employing them. The Turks do not appear to feel over-flattered by this evasive reply. Pacha, in addition to being put completely on the shelf, is about to be arraigned for his conduct during his administration at Tripoli, where he certainly committed many unjustifiable acts of severity. He is gentlemanly, and has some extremely good qualities ; but in cruelty he rivals Nero, Caligula, and a few other bright youths of in tiquity ; consequently he has abundance of mimics, and now they have got him down, they are likely to keep him there. All the officers he had, in his tyranny, broken, have been reinstated. Two days ago the Princess of Moldavia arrived here, on a vi-it to her farhily. She is a daughter of the Prince of Samos. Trade remains in a state of perfect stagnation. In Per sia, too, markets were becoming, extremely depressed, ac cording to the last advices received. I hear that the Porte has no good news from Kurdistan. llafcz Paella finds a war against the mountain tribes truly work. The Exchanges are pretty steady. London, 1121 11'2. PERSIA, JiLY 7. It is. reported that Mr. M'Neill's much vaunted infla once at Teheran is all adrift again, that the Shah of Per sia has fully determined, under Russian auspices, to carry into execution his famous expedition against Herat, and that, in case of reverses, he is to be assisted by an army of 40,000 Muscovites, to preserve his crown, which might otherwise be in great danger. If this intelligence is cor rect, it is really important, particularly as regards our In dian possessions. We can get no authentic news from Circassia. I hear, however, that the Russians have ap peared at Pschadt, and have built a fort there. They are determined on subduing the proud spirit of the Caucasus at last, and I fear the chances are in their f,vour. The Cir cassians might do well enough if they had a good supply of artillery and ammunition. Of the former, however, they have not, and of the latter very little. I hear nothing more of the projected quarantine at the Dardanelles, but inquiries are made in all directions, with a view of doing something better to secure the public health. Should some really good method be established, it will be a vast stride in civilisation, as we understand the word. TABLE D'HOTE AT BADEN-BA DEN.—FiVe O'clock is the time ; and the names of all such as desire to be at Cha bert's at that hour must be inscribed before noon. By this arrangement all species of scramble for the best places is avoided ; and on entering the great banquetting-room, a slip of paper, hearing your name, points out the place you are to occupy at the repast. The general coup-d'ceil of an assembly of 400 persons, a great many of whom are young and beautiful women, with their gay bonnets, and toilettes coquettishly nonchalantcs (for a dressed toilette would be voted ridiculous), sitting at each side of three long lines of parallel tables, as well as of a fourth, which is raised on a platform at the upper end of the room, must of itself be striking. But it becomes tenfold more so, when the lively and animated scene thus offered to view, is repeated on every side of this handsome and magnificently proportioned room (decorated and painted in etruscan colours) by large mirrors, cunningly arranged end distributed with no sparing hand in all directions. The charm of soft music, which plays during the repast from an adjoining room, adds to the inspiration of the moment.—Dr. Granville's Spas of Germany. BALLOONING IN INDIA.—Mr. Robertson, the aeronaut, made a successful ascent on the morning of the 27th of December at Lucknow, which excited great curiosity- and admiration among the natives. After this was over, his Ma jesty performed the ceremony of presenting colours to his newly-raised regiment of Foot Guards. At eleven, a.m. the regiment, drawn up, forming three sides of a square, received his Majesty, who was attended by a brilliant cortege. The colours were presented by the King with the usual ceremonies and a complimentary speech to the commandant, Colonel Ro berts, who made a suitable reply. The regiment then broke into open column of companies, and passed in review before his Majesty, who expressed himself highly gratified with the steady and soldierly appearance of the corps. The novelty of the ceremony created considerable interest among the native spectators.— Indian Paper. CARLSBAD.—The eagerness with which the dif ferent people at Carlsbad, of both sexes, rush towards the Sprudel, at six o'clock in the morning, to partake of the salu tary waters, is an interesting sight. In its appe arance t h e motley throng is quite theatrical, and the many-shaped and many-coloured costumes worn b tu y d t i h n e o m us fo fa r c rn es a illustra tionloifyinwghichthal n t „ h rr e t i h r e c l o l u ot nt m en in a e n r c a e l i t i o a n_ o g f t g he eo v garraivarious consists—their eff e T c d t h i s r, e . —the accumulation or sum total of individual cases o f d i sease p e r r ms o d mu u l ot c id e e d s o b f y d i r t n o k n i concentrated under one roof, among which the eye of a medical man quickly detects not a few disorders that are cankering their victim, and proclaim how vainly the Sprudel is had re course to for a cure, or even a prolongation of life.—Dr. Granvilte's Spas of Germany. Chows. —The Connecticut legislature have been obliged to repeal the law giving a bounty of 10 cents. each for crows' heads, the charge upon the treasury being too heavy to be borne. Since the passing of the law, 26,000 heads have been brought in, about 10,000 of them within the last year. It is calculated that the whole 26,000 would make about forty cart loads. A correspondent of the Bridgeport Fanner writes that in the neighbourhood of Greenwich, Connecticut, crows " are said (?) to have been so numerous at times as to ob scure the sun for hours, like a dark heavy cloud, when on their flight from one point to 1110ther.".—Philadflphi a Enquirer. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1837 LAW INTELLIGENCE. CONSISTORY COURT, Auo 3. ANACHINI AGAINST ANACHINI. This is a suit for restitution of conjugal rights promoted by the husband against the wife. An allegation was of fered on behalf of the wife, in which the conduct of Mr. Anachini was pleaded as a bar to his suit, he having been guilty, it is pleaded, both of adultery and cruelty. Her Majesty's ADVOCATE, for Mrs. Anachini, supported the admissibility of the allegation. Dr. BURNABY was heard on the other side. The Learned JUDGE, after referring to the contents of the allegation, directed it to be sent back to Counsel, to be generally reformed. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.•.—LzwES, Alla. 3. DE GONDORIM V. LEWIS AND ANOTHER. This was an action of trespass brought by the plaintiff, a French lad, to recover compensation in damages from the defendants, Custom-house officers at Brighton, for illegally seizing a portfolio belonging to him. The Jury awarded one farthing. The Learned JUDGE said subsequently that the plaintiff must be nonsuited, leave being reserved to the plaintiff to move the Court above. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Nozwies, Arc I. Their Lordships having proceeded hither from Bury yes terday evening opened the commission for the county with the usual solemnities, and took their seats at twelve to-day, after Divine Service at the Cathedral, Mr. Justice Vaughan presiding in the Nisi Prius Court, where there were fifteen causes entered, and Mr. Justice Bosanquet in the Crown Court, where there were 38 prisoners. NISI PRIUS COURT.--ALRXANDER V. SIMPSON. Mr. KELLY appeared for the plaintiff, who brought his action under the following circumstances :—A jovial party being assembled on the 25th of February last at the sign of the Cross Keys, at North Walsham, in this county, - a question arose as to the respective powers of the plaintiff, a youth of great personal strength and courage, and of one Bayes Ward, enjoying at that time the enviable title of " Champion of North Walsham." The result of the con troversy was that each party deposited a five-pound note with the defendant as stakeholder, and a regular agreement was drawn up, by which the two rivals bound themselves on a certain day, at the hour of four, P.M., to meet on the bowling-green, and there to have " a fair stand-up fight, at minute time, for the 101. so deposited." The prelimi naries of this league being thus arranged each party pre pared for action by a severe course of training ; but the authorities of the - law having got wind of the intended breach of the peace the battle was prevented, on which the plaintiff demanded from the defendant his deposit. This, however, was refused, whereupon , the action was com- menced. The above facts having been proved by the defendant's witnesses, a verdict was taken, by cansent, for the sum claimed by the plaintiff, namely, 5/. CROWN COURT.—Janzes and John Nixon, aged respec tively 25 and 26, stood charged by James Watts, of Hach ford, with the commission of a highway robbery on the 6th of May last. Mr. Justice BOSANQUET having summed up the case, the prisoners were both found guilty, and severally sen tenced (in accordance with the spirit of the new criminal code) to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour. Denis Durant was charged with stealing thirty sovereigns, one half sovereign, and some silver, from the dwelling-house of James Bird, of Itteringham, in this county. His LORDSHIP summed up : the prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to transportation for life, with previous imprisonment for one month. SURREY SESSIONS-THURSDAY. Jonathan Warlters, a powerful young mai, was tried, convicted, and sentenced to bc.. transported for life, for breaking into the house of an aged woman named Shep herd, residing at a place called Pynford, in the lower part of the county, and stealing sundry articles of wearing ap parel and eatables, her property. Thomas Fitzgerald was sentenced to be transported for seven years for entering the house of a Mr. Fuldwick, and stealing therefrom a quantity of property. In tl a course of the trial it was given in evidence that the prisoner had been in custody on various other occasions for felony. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. William Ryan, a seaman who lately arrived in London on board the Anne, from New York, vias brought before the Loan MAYOR, charged with having, in a fit of drunk enness, broken some panes of glass in the house of Mr. Geary, a coffee-house keeper. The defendant was said to be in the American service. The LORD MAYoa—Defendant, I dare say your ship is a temperance ship ? Defendant—lt is, your Lordship. The LORD MATOR—I thought so. You are not a tea totaller yet ? Defendant—No, my Lord. I kept it through the voyage, howsomever. The LORD MAYOR—How much spirits did you use on board? Defendant—About a quart for the whole crew. The LORD MAYOR—And you were satisfied with water all of you ? Defendant—Yes, your Lordship, every one of us, till we came ashore. Mr. Hobler—And then I suppose you took as much rum as made good strong grog of the water ?—(Laughter.) De fendant—We certainly did mix our liquor when we landed, ane I'm sure its dangerous to be a teatotaller, for I never got so drunk in my life. I thought I'd never get enough, so I'm determined never to try a temperance ship again. The coffee-house keeper said that the defendant was really very violent, and did not seem to have any idea of the mischief he was doing. The Loan MAYoR—It was I dare say the fault of the spirits, for he appears to he a very quiet good-hearted fellow. Defendant—lt couldn't be the spirits, my Lord. Spirits nes cr played me such a trick as that ; no, no, it never was that. The Loan NlAYon—What, then ; the heat of the weather, perhaps ? Defendant—No, my Lord ; I'll be on my oath it was nothing but the villainous cold water.--(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—WeII, I suppose you are willing to pay for the damage you have done to this gentleman? Defendant—Oh, certainly ; I'll pay him when I get to my ship. The LORD MAYOR—Very well ; but mind you must not p'y him by a draft upon the Temperance Society. De fendant—No, please your Lordship, I wouldn't wish the worst enemy I ever had in my life was obliged to take drafts of that kind. Mr. Hobler—Pray, my good fellow, bow long have you been ashore ? Defendant—Since Saturday week. 1 think that was the night I first got drunk. Mr. Ilobler—And how often have you been drunk ? Defendant—l've been drunk only once. Mr. Hobler—And that's ever since, I suppose ? De fendant—Exactly. Consider how long I had been at the water, and now that we're going back, we shall be all set a going in the same way until we get to t'other side. The LORD MAYOR—And then you will begin to make your grog again.—(A laugh.) Well, I think the new system no great improvement upon the old, and I am sorry to see such a sample of the temperance principle. The defendant then promised the Lord Mayor to go straight off to his ship, and, as his money was all expended, to obtain an advance of pay, to defray the expense of the damage he had committed, and to sit down quietly on board, and prepare himself for the office of grog making upon his return to America. BOW-STREET. lienry Harris, alias Myers, and Wm. Moore, a young man of respectable appearance, were placed at the Bar, charged by the Rev. Dr. M'Cleod, the respected and ve nerable Rector of St. Anne's, Soho-square, with having robbed him of his gold watch and seals that morning in St. Martin's-court. Mr. TWYFORD, after expressing his regret at the mistake that had been made, ordered Moore to be dismissed, as there was no doubt the witnesses laboured under a wrong impression. The prisoner Myers, who is a member of the swell mob, and a well-known thief, applied to be remanded till a future day. Mr. TWYFORD informed him that the evidence was quite conclusive against him, and be should, therefore, be forthwith committed to take his trial. The parties were bound over to prosecute. Q UEEN- S Q UARE. Mary Dempsey, a servant in the employ of Mr. Flan ders, was yesterday placed at the Bar, charged with having stolen a diamond ring, a brooch, a table cloth, and other ar ticles, the property of her master, who resides its Brewer street, Chelsea. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. USE AND POWER OF MINERAL WATERS.— Although the appli ca ti on o f t h e m i nera li s i ng mu d i tse lf o f a spring be unknown in this country, (as far as I am aware of,) and is of comparatively recent introduction at the different Spas in Germany, the use of mud-baths in disease is of great antiquity. In some parts of the continent such baths are the only ones used,—as at St. Amand, for example, and Abano. In the gospel of one of the evangelists, we find evidence of the practice of using mud-baths having existed in scriptural times, for the cure of the 'r impotent folk, the blind, the halt, and the withered" (paralytic.) " The angel who went down at a certain season into the pool to trouble the water" before the sick could enter it, is evidently figurative of the periodical or occasional muddy condition of the pool of Bethesda,—Dr. Granville's Spas of Germany. GERMANY At the meeting of the States of Baden on the 22d ult., a Deputy, M. Itzstein, declared, in reference to the aboli tion of the Constitution of Hanover by King Ernest, that the Federal Act having guaranteed state constitutions to all the people of Germany, the abrogation of that insti tution should be held as a measure in direct opposition with the Federal Act. " Some easily alarmed persons," he said, " feared that the coup d'etat of the King of Hanover was the signal of a reaction against the Constitution of Germany, and it behoved the Legislative Assembly and the Government of Baden to reassure the public on that head." He accordingly proposed that the latter should instruct its Envoy at the German Diet to protest against the abolition of the Hanoverian Constitution, and strenuously to insist on the maintenance of the 13th article of the federal com pact. Messrs. de Rotteck, d'Uttlingen, and Walker sup ported the motion with great warmth. M. Blittendorff, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, replied that he fully con curred in the principle invoked by M. Itzstein in sup port of his motion, but he at the same time thought that it was premature. The proposition, he said, implied a sort of distrust against the Government, as one must naturally infer from it that the Grand Duke was not aware of his duties, and that it was necessary to remind him of them by a special motion. He accordingly voted against its being taken into consideration. The house, neverthele.s, unani mously pronounced its adoption, amidst the vivas of the numerous auditory who filled the public galleries. HANOVER, JULY 17.—You must not enquire of the in habitants of Hanover if you would learn the real temper of the country. I speak here of a great part of what arc called the educated classes. The temper of the nobility, as well as of most persons in office, is not favourable. The people love and honour our King, who mixes with them dressed in the plainest manner, addresses the first that attracts his notice in the street, and speaks to him a few words in broken (scarcely intelligible) German. The people • love the King as their own King ; they never knew nor loved the Constitution. You must not look for the real feeling of the country in Hanover, for our city is too much interested in the matter. Go to Osnahurg, Holderheim, Emden, Gottingen—converse there with persons in office, even with Professors, and you will learn how the people in the kingdom in general think. We hear nothing of the Gottingen prisoners, in whose favour some of the many de putations have spoken a word. The King, however, is said to see the matter in its true light as a boyish trick, and there is thus some hopes that the petitions for pardons made by their families will be attended to. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS.-A letter from Munic says :—" To the great astonishment of the population of our city, a number of men were seen a few days ago climbing upon the roofs of the highest houses, without any one being able to guess at the motive of their proceedings. We have learnt since that their intention was to place rods of iron from the steeple of the Cathedral, beyond the Isaar, to the Chateau d'Eau on the Gerteigeberg. Professcr Steinhall wishes, by a practical experiment, to try the plan imagined by Mr. Gans, to establish, by means of electricity, a system of correspondence capable of replacing that of the telegraph, but far surpassing it in point of rapidity." A GERMAN MISTRESS.—A chatty old gentleman, who had just been swallowing his last drau;ht of the boiling stream, and to whom I had responded with a similar bumper-- pointing to an oldand common-looking house i n thehuddled group beneath, said, " That building with the bright and yellow side, was for many years the residence of the late king of Bavaria, who occupied it during the bathing season, and now a ducal mistress lives in it. A late Margrave, whose reign was but brief, chanced to behold, in one of his walks through the streets of Carlsruhe, a lovely young woman selling fruit. Being a bachelor, and a great admirer of the beautiful, he forthwith had her summoned into his presence by one of his domestics, and raised her to the rank of his mistress. Like some other potentates, both east and west of the Rhine, the Margrave conferred on the partner of his joys, titles, and wealth. He gave that house to her in perpetuity as a free gift, with an estate near Fribourg where she generally resides—being still a comely and buxom woman of forty."—Dr. Granville's Spas of Germany. On Friday evening last, after the Hope London coach had left Huddersfield for Halifax, when near Eggerton Toll-gate, a person attempted to get on the coach as it was going, when his foot slipped and he fell under the wheel, which passed over his head. He was taken up and carried to the Infirmary, but never spoke afterwards. On Sunday his name was ascertained to he Mr. John Tempest, of the Queen's Head, between Halifax and Bradford. He has left a wife and three young children to lament his fate. The Philo-Russians and the Anti-Russians in France have had a lively dispute, occasioned by the publica tion in the Gazette des Tribuneax of a Russian court-mar tial. 'The individual tried was named Anguel, a young Saxon of noble family, who entered the Russian service in 1828, and was an ensign at the time of the trial. He and his captain both happened to like the same lady, the daughter of a Greek Curate. Captain Tsclimgueri, under pretext of his rival being insubordinate, ordered him to receive one hundred blows of the knout. " Everything," says the official report, "passed as it ought, and Anguel received his punishment without complaining." But some time after Tsclimgueri quitting the service, Anguel challenged him. The captain refused to fight, and soon after Anguel was seized making his way into the captain's residence, armed with a pistol. For this Anguel was tried, and though all the facts appeared on the trial, he was condemned to pass three times under the rods of two squadrons. He was not expected to recover. In digging in front of the old Frce Grammar School at Castor, a pit out of which to obtain sand, required in the repairs of the building, the labourers found several ske letons ; the bodies appear to have been thrown into their hasty graves without regard to their position. The arms were found stretched out wide from the trunk, and the bodies were not placed in parallel order. One of the skulls, dug up with great care, was found in excellent preservation, having been embedded in its mystei ions grave perhaps a thousaneyears, only one tooth was wanting, and that, probably, had dropped in the soil. Several balls, small, and made of hard wood, with a curious square box, used, perhaps, in some ancient game, a small urn, and a piece of Roman pottery, were dis covered in the course of the exhumation.—Lincoln Gazette. HUMAN ZOOLOGY.—A " happy dog," and a " lucky dog," as the adjuncts imply, have no reference to the status, temperament, or permanent condition of the animal, but only to some fortunate accident, and for the time being. It has also this singularity of meaning, that the phrase is never employed by a speaker standing himself in the same joyous predicament. Thus a bachelor may deem a bridegroom dur ing his honeymoon a happy dog ; but no Bencdick ever called his marrying friend by that name. A " sad dog," is not (as the contrast to the phrase " happy dog" seems to imply) a melancholy animal; the schoolboy's translation of tristis canis notwithstanding. A sad dog is, commonly, a very merry fel low ; but be is one whose merriment arises from the enjoyment of things sometimes designated as " pleasant but wrong." A sad dog must not be confounded as a mere debaurhe, who is, indeed, a selfish egotist, and in no respect eatitled to range under the head canis gencrosus. A sad dog must have sonic redeeming qualities. To make this matter clearer, it will be sufficient to note that Charles Surface is the type of the sad dogs, though it were desirable that Sheridan should have made out the claim by traits of a somewhat less equivocal character. In the play in question we have an apt illustration of the force of the word sad. Joseph Surface is, as we all know, in a phy sical sense, the saddest animal of the two ; but his atrabilarious formality only excludes him the more from the chance of being reckoned a sad dog : the most that it can do for him is to have him set down as a sad villain.—New Alionthly Magazine for August. THE BATH OF SERPENTS.—The people of Eng land hare been entertained with certain facetious stories, about the Bath of Serpents, or Schlangenbad, in Nassau, its power of embellishing the skin, its " milk-like warmth," and the fascinating beauties by which the spring is surrounded in a little sequestered valley. The people of England, on the faith of such a declaration, have flocked within the last two years to Schlangenbad, to bathe in its FOUL water, drawn from tanks and used in tubs I and they have fancied themselves, after using it, what the writer of " The Bubbles," a layman, had told them they would be 1 Let them now try, on the faith of a physician, the effects of the Wildbad bath ; let them ex change the temperature of eighty-one degrees for one of ninety-six or ninety-eight ; let them dip into the Jordan itself, instead of crouching into narrow slippers, placed in dark rooms on the ground floor, by the side of a dark corridor.— Dr. Granville's Spas of Germany. AN IRISH ELECTION SCENE.—At the nomina tion for the city of Dublin on Monday, Mr. West, one of the Tory candidates said :—The last charge against me, as far as I know, is that I am a very ugly fellow.—( Laughter.) Now, gentlemen, I tell you what I had intended proposing before I was aware of the perfect good humour we were all to exhibit h e re to-day. I was going to challenge Mr. O'Connell to throw off his wig—(shouts of laughter)—and to stand beside me here in open court, and let you decide which is the uglier man. Mr. O'Connell instantly accepted the intended chal lenge by suddenly pulling off his wig, and exhibiting a well formed crown, amidst shouts of laughter from all sides of the court-house, followed by the most deafening cheers. On Tuesday night last, about ten o'clock, a consi derable degree of excitement prevailed in the Waterloo-road, in consequence of a cabman driving to the Tower-street police s tation-house, with the body of a gentleman quite dead. The cabman stated that the deceased called him at Kennington to be conveyed to the Waterloo-road, mid that on alighting to receive his fare he found the deceased dead, as already stated, and knowing nothing of him, he thought it most prudent to come before the Inspector, to receive his advice. The re quired assistance being given by the Inspector and men on duty, the corpse was conveyed to the vaults underneath the Waterloo Church, where, in the course of yesterday, the body was recognised as that of Mr. John Walker, lately residing in Gibson-street, Lambeth, but at present of Kennington. The deceased has left a widow (on a sick bed) to deplore her pre mature loss. A poplar tree of 25 years' growth was cut down at Wigginton, near York, by Mr. Sherwin. The wood mea sured 60 feet in length, and seven inches in diameter at the top or small end, and the solid wood weighed upwards of two tons. Several eminent wood valuers have stated that the above extraordinary weight and dimensions are unprecAented by anything that has yet come within their knowledge.,—Shef. jtad NORTH WILTS (From the Wiltshire Independent.) We beg to put the independent Electors of North Wilts on their guard against a set of men brought down from London by the Burdett party to bribe, intimidate, and kidnap the Methuen and Long voters. The Tories, on making up their canvass Books last week, found themselves nearly 1,000 in the minority ; and seeing that their game was lost if played fairly, they determined to attempt to filch it by the above dishonest means : hence the importation into Wiltshire this week of certain agents and myrmidons, who pollute the soil they tread on, and are a disgrace to any cause ; but we arc proud to think that the Tories do deep injustice to our native county in treating it as they would Bridgwater, Stafford, Norwich, and such like cor rupt and despicable places. Not only are Wiltshire men virtuous, and high principled, but they are brave too, and will not tamely submit either to be tampered with by bribes or deterred from voting by intimidation. Should any of those evil practices which we have mentioned be resorted to by the Tories, or their agents, we feel assured that the men of our county will not be found backward in doing their duty ; but that they will defeat the inventions of the enemy, by zeal, activity, and decision. In their hands we are willing to leave the matter, confident that we shall not be disappointed in the result. We understand Sir Francis Burdett met with a very cold reception at Swindon ; scarcely a cheer was given ex cept by a few men who were hired for the occasion : another fit of the gout may be confidently expected. 'We beg to call the notice of our country readers to an extract from the illark Lane Express, which will be found with the agricultural news. This article, coming as it does from a paper exclusively devoted to the interest of the farmers, will we doubt not be perused by them with great attention. We know several instances of independent electors of North Wilts who have been threatened by their landlords to be ejected from their farms and their gardens, unless they do violence to their feelings and their consciences by voting for Burdett ; we refrain from publishing the names until we see the threat put into execution, when we will let the world know who are the mean, dastardly fellows, who thus dare to intimidate men honester than themselves. The attention of the Men of North Wilts is called to the following statements : In the Salisbury herald is the report of a meeting at Devizes, on Thursday, the 27th ult., of the friends of Sir F. Burdett, and it. is somewhat remarkable, that the only person who steps forward to say a word in favour of Old Glory is a brother renegade from the extremity of South Wilts, and who is there known by the name of Old Glory, jun. This man was formerly driven from the Church in con sequence of his then Liberal opinions and other little This man was, for many years after, the pupil and sup porter of Cobbett, who declared the whole body of Wilt shire farmers to be a set of joulterheads. This man, down to a recent period, has been the sup porter of Mr. Methuen. But this man's political creed now is, to sacrifice all principle and act solely for his own interest. This man would therefore now support the Devil. Let me ask the honest men of North 'Wilts if they will suffer themselves to be bamboozled by such apostate sup porters of Old Glory, the renegade. ONE OF THE JOULTERHEADS. Bradford, August 1, 1837. MARCH OF MORALITY IN TURKEY The thrilling shrieks of " Yanghinarar !" (fire! fire !) were on Thursday last re-echoed about mid-day throughout the extensive quarter of Odovvn-Kapoussy. The panic spreading sounds flew with the rapidity of lightning through out the city, and although neither smoke nor flames could be descried from watch-tower or minaret, the appalled crowd rushed on from every direction to repulse the invasion of the destructive element. After many a gallant charge against the unseen enemy, led on by firemen and grandees, it was ascertained that the alarming cry had first been is sued by Ali Aga, the merchant, and that though his neighbours had grown silent on finding that there was in it more smoke than fire, this worthy moslem persevered with unsubdued energy to fill the atmosphere with the ulula tions of" Yanghinarar." Sometime elaped before he could be prevailed upon to return any answer, save these doleful tones, to the Cavash Bashee, who rode up to learn what could be the reason of this terrible summons? He re plied at last, after throwing before his feet a pair of shoes, not such as fit lady's or Moslem's feet," but masculine, and, moreover, Christian ones—" Bahold ! the witnesses to the pollution an Infidel dog has been subjecting the purity of my harem I I stumbled over these on crossing the thresh old of my dwelling. Their wearer and his guilty partner are ' within ; bring up your guards—seize on both—drag them before the Seraskier, and let him vindicate the rights of an insulted husband. Unhappily for the parties concerned, facts turned out to be exactly as Ali Aga had declared, and the Hanoum was impressing on the pale cheek of her Greek paramour the bitter kiss of parting love when the guard entered to tear him away from her embrace. So flagrant an offence admitting of no apology, none was of fered. We well knew, said the Turkish lady, that love might conduct us along to one death. We took our chance. Kismet is against us. Let justice have its course. The death-warrant was pronounced without further inquiry by the Seraskier, and on the following eve the bodies of both were found hanging, one at the gate of Parmak Kapou, and the other at Balikbazar. A yafta was fixed on the body of each. " Such is the punishment to which is doomed the infidel who dares to violate the sanctuary of the Harem," was written on the one, and on the other— " Such is the fate that awaits those who follow the ex ample of the unfaithful Hatidjeh." The honour of a se pulchre being refused to the bodies of criminals in Tur key, the mortal remains of these lovers were on the follow ing day thrown into the Bosphorus. But the gallows in Turkey, as at Venice, have ever proved but poor instruments in scaring the fair from " let ting Heaven see the pranks they dare not show their hus bands." On the very day the above-mentioned lovers met with their untimely and unkindly fate, too other fair delin quents were surprised by the police. One of the parties met with the same kind of exposure as Mars and Venus before the gods of Olympus, with this immaterial difference, that, instead of being secured under the invisible net of the wily Vulcan, as the god and the frail goddess were, the Hanoum and Greek were entrapped within the latticed win dows of a carriage, and brought before the Cadi. As she happened to be the wife of a man of rank, the magistrate, out of consideration for the feelings of her relatives, directed her execution and her lover's to be secret. Of the Greek youth it is known that, born of respectable parents, he had, in order to gratify the passion his mistress's (noun's) charms had kindled in his breast, betaken himself to the device of entering her husband's service in the capacity of coachman. The history of the other unlucky pair I have not yet learn ed. It need hardly be added that, in consequence of these detections, the jealousy of the Moslems has increased most fiercely, and that the price of eunuchs has tripled within a week at the slave market. The police has issued a fir man ordering every woman to be back to her house by the tenth honr, that is, two hours before sunset ; and as of late Turkish ladies had awakened much suspicion by the sud den taste they had taken to shopping at Para snd Galata the owners of these niagazins have been warned not to ad mit within their doors Turkish women of any description, nor to expose themselves, by countervention to this order, to be nailed through the ear to the entrance of their premises. The frequent repetition of these abominations in the holy sanctuary of the harem, as well as the numerous in stances which have lately occurred both here and in the provinces of the hitherto-unheard of crime of Moslem fele de se, are pointed out by the most orthodox among the true believers as additional signs of the times, indicative of dooms day being at hand. Within the last fortnight not less than three cases of suicides have taken place among the Turks. The manner in which one of the three conducted himself when on the point of making his exit out of the scene of life is highly original. On waking from a deep reverie, which absorbed his faculties during a trip he had taken on the Bosphorus, Mehmet Effendi, while complaining to the Caikdjee of the weather being intolerably oppressive, be gan removing, one after the other, the different parts of his garments, till no other save shirt and drawers remained on his body. After the pause necessary to fill and smoke a pipe while renewing his complaints as to the weather, he pulled off also the above-mentioned ar ticles of dress, and, deaf to all remonstrances on the part of the m ore decorous boatmen, filled and smoked another pipe :71 naturalzbus ; when, suddenly rising from his seat, he cried out, " I can not endure this heat any longer ; the w aters of the Bos phorus can alone cool me ;" and, so saying, he threw him self into its rapid current. __••••••••• have just hear- r T ak h e e n r , e serio , usly injured, t o t h e A CorrespaoifldoemntwrwarkietfieesldusthfraotmMDr. oencaratsetre,ra:—m::uNiVace_ will, therefore, ha ve t o turer if of d D A e% r v m sb s u in y n , bSetraa Strafford inquest, and all the circumstances must be , w i l s io do w ad a . s t investigated.

It was planted in a box of clay from the Holy City, and had a dozen healthy branches, all of which had burst from one small spot, about the size of a shilling, just as her Majesty had attained her eighteeth year. On Tuesday, the 25th of July, the Leathersellers' Company proceeded from their Hall, in St. Helen's-place, to Barnet, to witness the laying the first stone of the new alms houses about to be built by them. A marquee was erected for the occasion, and an elegant silver trowel was provided for the Master, Mr. Richard Thornton, who performed the usual ceremony ; after which a discourse was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Hyde, of Camberwell, and the Court, accompanied by Messrs. Ward, the builders and contractors, dined together at the Castle, Hampstead. On the Master's health being drunk the silver trowel was presented to him, when he, in a very ap propriate reply, adverting to the honour he had bad in laying the first stone of their almshouses, concluded with the request " that he might be permitted to finish them ;" and generously gave the sum of 1,2081., being the amount contracted for the building. THE BATAS AT WILDRAD.—I walked over the warns soft sand to tha farthest end of the bath, and I laid myself down upon it, near the principal spring, resting my head on a clean wooden pillow. The soothing effect of the water, as it came over me, up to the throat, transparent like the brightest gem or acquamarine, soft, genially warm, and gently murmuring, I shall never forget. Millions of bubbles of gas rose from the sand, and played around me, quivering through the lucid water as they ascended, and bursting at the surface, to be succeeded by others. The sensation produced by these, as many of them, with their tremulous motion, just efileuraient the surface of the body, like the much vaunted effect of titillation in animal magnetism, is not to be described. It partakes of tranquillity and exhilaration ; of the ecstatic state of a devotee, blended with the repose of an opium eater. —Dr. Granville's Spas of Germady. Last week Lord Portman, while personally super intending the cleaning out of the river Stour from weeds, &c., in which twenty men were employed, had the melancholy spec tacle of seeing three of them drowned, without being able to render them any assistance. In the mayoralty of Sir Peter Perchard a beautiful sturgeon was caught in the Thames, and presented to hie Lordship, as Lord of the Manor and Conservator of the River. It is usual to give five guineas to the person who catches the Royal fish ; but the sturgeon caught upon the occasion we allude to cost his Lordship ten guineas. Miss Perchard, w hen she saw the sturgeon swimming about in a large ttib, said to her father, " La, pa, don't kill that beautiful fish that came so far to see you." " What the —am Ito do with it then, my dear ?" said his Lordship. " Why, you have given five guineas for it, and let me have the satisfaction of saving its life," said the young lady. " Very well, my dear, do as you please with it," cried Sir Peter. The fish was that evening taken by the water bailiff opposite to the Tower, and dropped into the Thames. About two days afterwards a Gravesend fisherman knocked at the Mansion-house door and presented a sturgeon to the Lord Mayor, who, considering himself obliged to maintain the dignity of the mayoralty in every respect, or dered five guineas to be given to the bearer; but what was his su-prise upon finding tied to the gill a small medal, with " Peter Perchard, Mayor," upon it. His daughter alone ex plained the mystery to this genuine alderman of the old school. A letter of the 20th ult., from Rome, published i n the Augsburyh Gazette, states that the cholera is the all engrossing topic of conversation in that capital, and has com pletely superseded even the interest previously attached to Spanish affairs. The malady has made its appearance at Ce prano, a small frontier town on the Garigliano, about 70 males from Rome, Ceprano and other localities have consequently been declared suspected, and the Government has also ordered the formation of a second cordon near Valinotona, the re spectable inhabitants of which place had eagerly seconded the measures of the authorities. Several companies of the garrison have been sent to that point. On Thursday, at about a quarter past one o'clock , the sentence of the law was carried into effect upon William Magrath and the elder Aylward. Magrath was executed firs t, and he died without a struggle. By some ill-management 0 0 the part of the executioner the rope which was fastened about Aylward's neck gave way, and he fell to the ground. He was raised again, and he came forward on the drop with n 1 firmness and composure than before. He was then cast eff second time, and in a few minutes his spirit was gone fa ever. He had come forth attended by the Rev. Mr. Humes and Magrath was attended by one of the Clergymen of the Established Church. Magrath came out uncovered, and spoke a few words, but in so low a tone of voice as to be in audible unless to those immediately about him. Aylward had his cap on, and addressed the crowd no otherwise than by an inclination of his head. Notwithstanding the wetness of the day the assemblage of the people who came to view the appall ing spectacle was immense. A respite until further orders has been obtained for the younger Aylward. In regard to the confessions made by Magrath and Aylward we may have something to say hereafter.—Le ester Independ ent.
