A rule was obtained, a Ain't time since, on the part of Lord Edward Thymic, confined in the Queen's Bench pri son, calling on the several detaining creditors to show cause why be should not have leave to file his petition, on his ap plication to be discharged under the Act. Mr. COOKE applied to-day to make the rule absolute ; and Mr. WOODROFFE appeared to show eamta on the part of Sir William Rawlings and other creditors. Mr. WOODROFFE resisted the application, on the ground that Lord Edward Thynne was an outlaw. He said that his Lordship had been some time in prison, and hod ex pended sums which he had received from his friends, and of which no complaint could be made in showing cause. The point on which he intended to show cause was, that the Court could not grant the application sought for until cer tain proceedings of outlawry against him had been reversed. The creditors for whom he appeared had processes of out lawry against Lord Edward Thynne, and he was now in custody at their suits on writs of capias rat legatuni. It had been laid down by the ancient law writers, that an outlaw was deprived of his civil rights ; and up to the present pe riod the principle was in a great measure recognised. What then was the application in this case ? It was for leave to petition, which was undoubtedly a right of a civil nature. for the purpose of being relieved from his debts. He should therefore contend, that until he had reversed the outlawries, he could not be permitted to file a petition. . Mr. COOKE, in support of the rule, said that an outlaw could make an assignment. He, therefore, prayed that the rule might be made absolute. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN *as of opinion that the Court had jurisdiction in this matter, and therefore mad.) the rule absolute for the filing of the petition. The rule was accordingly made absolute. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. ACCOUNT OF THE CREW OF THE SHIP STIRLING CASTLE, AND THE CONDUCT OF THE SAVAGES.—Yester day Mrs. Eliza Ann Frazer, the widow of Captain Frazer, of the ship Stirling Castle, which was wrecked on a coral reef in the passage from Sydney to Singapore, in May, 1835, came to the Justice•room, accompanied by the cap tain of the vessel in which she arrived in this country, and a female, at whose house she was received upon coming to London, for the purpose of mentioning the particulars of her dreadful adventures amongst the inhabitants of the shores to which the crew resorted as a refuge from the not more appalling dangers of the ocean. The followin ,, is as closo an account as our reporter could collect :On the 16th of May, 1835, the StHinl Castle left Sydney for the purpose of going to Singapore. On the 23d, when they were approaching Torres Straits, it blew very fresh, and there being .a current near the Eliza coral reefs, which the vessel ,was unable to resist, s he struck on the reef at aho4, nine o'clock at night, when the captain was incapable, on account of the hazy weather, of making observations. There were about eighteen men . on board, two boys, and Mrs. Frazer, the captain's wife, who was far advanced in preg nancy. Two of the men who were labouring at the wheel were killed when the ship struck, and the cabins were dashed into the hold, together with all the bread, beef, pork, and other provisions. The crew, when the tempest ceased, contrived to cut away the masts, in the expectation that the ship would right herself by turning upon her beam ends, and she did in some degree change her position, but not to any considerable extent. They therefore determined to get away as well as they could in the long-baat and the pinnace, which they had contrived to keep secure ; the two other boats attached to the ship having been swept away by the fury of the elements. They .knew that they were to the northward of Moreton Bay, a portion of the settlements of the British Crown, and they determined to make for that place with as much expedition as possible. Accordingly, having worked with the most desperate industry until four o'clock on Sunday, they dis embarked from the vessel, and took to the boats. The ship's carpenter, the cook, the cook's mate, John Frazer (the captain's nephews the boatswain, Edward Stone, and bill Lockton, a seaman, took to the pinnace ; while the captain, his wife, the chief, and second mates, the two bOys, and the rest of the crew, took to the long-boat. Four days after they " committed" themselves to the care of Provi dence, Mrs. Frazer was delivered of a child whileuptts her waist in water in the l ong b oa t. Th e i n f ant was b orn alive ; but after a few g a sps was d rowne d, an d t h e fi rst mate wrapped up the body i n a p art o f hi s s hi rt, wh i ch he tore from his back for th e p urpose , an d l et i t go along with the tide. The poor moth er cou ld not account for the extraor dinary vigour with w hi c h s h e was a bl e to bear up against this calamity, added to the other calamities to which she was doomed to be exposed. Fortunatsly she was for some time in a state of insensibility, and was not, until a consi derable time after the chill was consigned to the deep aware that it ws brought into a world from which it was so rapidly hurried away, For a great many days they en deavoured in vain to reach Moreton Bay, being all the time without any food, except a small quantity of the lees of hot s which they had found in a cask. They suffered dreadfully from thirst as well as hunger while in this awful situation. At last they reached a large rock, to which they fastened their boats, and they went in quest of oysters and water ; but here disappointment was multipliaupon them, and t h ey stretched themselves ating in expectation of a speeds' release from their sufferings by the interpositio n of another tempest. In the morning, those who belonged to tho long boat were astonished to find that the pinnace and the man who had occupied her had altogether disappeared. These unfortunate fellows were never heard of m ore , and their comrades in calamity could not conjecture what their motive could be for making an experiment, by themselves without the aid of the experience of the captain and his mates whom they left behind. The captain's aim was all along, after they had been obliged to quit the ship, to reach Moreton Bay, but, finding that wind and current were dead against his object, and his companions being reduced to the extremity of lying on their backs in the boat with their tongues out to catch the damp of the dews that fell, he resolved to make for the nearest land. It was a choice of most awful evils, for he knew that the shore which it was probable they would reach was visited by tribes of sa vages. They bore away before the wind, prepared to meet death in whatever shape it might present itself, and so exhausted with suffering as to be careless whethe r they were to die by the hands of the natives or to be overwhelmed in the waves. At last they came within sight of land, and soon afterwards their boat ran into and landed in a place called Wide Bay. They were now within 100 miles to the north of Moreton Bay, which was the principal of the French settlements to which the incorrigible convicts were sent to pass the remainder of their days in uninter mitted labour, and just as they touched the land they caught a sight of vast crowds of naked savages, who soon approached the beach evidently delighted with the priz! that presented itself. The savages surrounded the boat and, raising it up, carried it from the beach to the bush with its crew just as they were. The moment they laid the boat on the ground they began to strip the men of their clothes, commencing with the captain and chief officers. John Baxter, the se cond mate, endeavoured to'hide a shirt ornament in which his aunt's hair was contained, having willingly yielded up everything else ; but the savages became infuriated at the attempt at concealment, and beat him dreadfully. It is un necessary to say that they tore the trinket away from him. They broke in pieces the watches and chronometers, and each took a portion of the machinery to stick on their noses and ears, and after they. had divided amongst themselves the va rious portions of apparel of which they had stripped their captives, they threw to them -to appease their hunger the heads and guts of the fish upon which they had been lately making their meal. The savages, after having detained them two days, took them further up into the bushes, and drove them inward, that they' might, as they soon ascer tained, fall iato the hands of other tribes by whom an inges nious variety was to be given to their sufferings. The Captain had endeavoured to prevail upon them to accept the services of the poor crew for a longer time, being appre hensive that any change amongst the natives would be for the worse ; but they beat all the now naked whites on before them until fresh tribes came up, and took each of them a prisoner and set him to work in carrying pieces of trees, and toiling in other exhausting ways. Mrs. Frazer, being the only woman, was not selected by any of the tribes, but was left by herself while they all went onward, but her husband got an opportunity to mention to her not to stir from the place in which she was at the moment, and that he would contrive to see her in a few hours. During that night she lay in the 0144 of 4 TPPkr d ,se mprning, after lookin about without seein g a preatf.ire, she deterinieed to follow some foot-marks, i#o4 after having procee4ed to some disc tance she saw ,crowd pf bia4 women approach. These women belonged to tho t r ib e o f savages by whom h er buss hand had been taken op th e bosh?op the p reee di n g day, and they set her to work in trailin g woo d and lighting fi res . Being quite naked, and preienting a contrast in her skin which the women did not like, she was compelled by them to rub herself all over with green herbs, which had the Y G effect of making her nearly as dark as themselves. They likewise tattooed her all over, and having pulled her hair out, covered her head with a sort of gum, and stuck the feathers of parrots and other birds all over it. One of the women having two children, obliged her to nurse one of them, notwithstanding the severe labour she had to per form ; anti if the child was out of temper the nurse was kicked, and scratched, and thumped for its peevishness. At the expiration of four days Mrs. Frazer saw her husband for the first time since their separation, be was dragging along a tree, and was greatly fatigued. She had first be gan et herto .Iknntiotilivre wherehow happenediiitowas,to which he was replyi ng t h at that he did not manage to l he dared not look for her, when his tribe suddenly ap peared. One of them having seen them together made a push at the captain with a spear, and [ierced him right through the body, which was a corpse in an instant. Mrs. Frazer body, but the breath was gone for ever. Sh e th en f e ll sense l ess, an d I can e rt a in da t r o e h t e h r is h a u e sb l a e n e t g l, er e! , ie a d ad o p u a t il ' e ‘ d j t e l s i e u s o p o e f a r N o a u r t a o r f et t h h ' e remained so a considerable time ; and when she recovered her senses sltc found herself along with the tribe, which she was obliged to serve, but what because of the body of Cap tain Frazer she never could learn, and of course the barba rous region in which she was enslaved was no place for sym pathy. Shortly after this catastrophe the first officer of the ship having been informed that the Captain had been mur dered by one of the tribes, formed, in a fit of desperation, a plan of revenge, fettered and exhausted with labour as he was. His intention was, however, discovered, and horrible was his punishment. Mrs. Frazer had just lighted a fire by order of her tribe, and the unfortunate man's legs were thrust into it and consumed, while he, by the violence of his contortions, actually worked for the rest of his body a grave in the sand in which it was embedded. Two days after this horrible event a fine looking young man, named James Major, was disposed of, Captain Frazer, who knew a good deal of the obaractzr and habits of' the savages on this coast, had mentioned to Major that the savages would take off his head for a figure-bust for one of their canoes. It seemed, too, that it was mud for the savage who contemplated that sort of emotion to smile in the face of his victim immediately before he struck him to the earth. While Mejar was at work, the chief of his tribe approached him smiling, and tapped him on the shoulder. At that in tart the poor fellow received a blow on the back of the neck from it waddle or crooked stick, which stunned hitn, Ho fell to the groural, and a coupl e of savages set to work and by means of sharpened shells severed the head from the body with fright ful lacerations. They then.. ate part of the body, and pre served the head with certain gums al' extraordinary efficacy, and affixed it as a figure-bust to ono of their canoes. The rest of the crew of course expected nothing less than death. Their apprehension appeared to relate rather to the mode of inflictin g the extreme penalty than to the fact that vi t hE rieei n i latuons and big rhos Ben, a premature) nin aene d y e th d ri btTuetw %stealvcr ta,hi drowned , s a e , en a ee m dand e te n ha a e, m i ea c ,ti d : ke, e tempt to escape from perhaps a more painful death. There was a black man, named Joseph, who had been steward on hoard the Stirling Ca.slle. When the savages seized the long-boat in which the crew had entered White Bay, they stripped this Joseph as well as the rest ; but as he was of their own colour they inflicted no pu nishment upon him, and he had the privilege of going about, which was denied to any other of the wretched strangers. This man, who was constantly watching for an opportunity to escape had assured Mrs. Frazer that if he could get away the first life he should think of saving should be that of his mistress. H e succeeded in stealing a estroe, in which he rowed off, and in which he returned to Moreton Bay, where he informed the Commandant of the French settlement of the horrible circumstances which had taken place at White Bay, and of the servitude in which the survivors of the crew were detained. By this time Mrs. Frazer was sepa rated, and at a considerable distance from the different members of the crew, and she had given up all hopes of ever being liberated from the frightful bondage in which she was detained. The Moreton Bay Commandant immediately upon bear ing this inquired in the barracks whether any of the mili tary would volunteer to save a lady and several of the crew of a wrecked vessel from the savages in the bush, and a number offered themselves at a moment's notice. By a system of marktuvring - entered into by a convict who had been for sonic years in the bush amongst the savages, this object was effected. All the survivors were, to the best of Mrs. Frazer's belief, rescued from the savages. At the camp the Commandant and the Commissary, in fact all the individuals who were in the service of the Government, treated Mrs. Frazer and her companions in misfortune with a daeree of kindness which it is evident the former has a very warm recollection of. She was placed under medical ca.e immediately, and everything was done that was con sidered likely to abate the sorrow of what she had under gone in witnessing the murder of her husband, and the other horrors with which she had been surrounded, The Captain of the Afediter, ancan packet, in which Mrs. Frazer arrived from Sydney at Liverpool, stated that he was at Sydney at the time of the arrival of that lady, and that the circumstances detailed caused the greatest excitement there. The convict, to whose extraordinary ex ertions Mrs. Frazer owed her escape, obtained a free pardon from the Government there, and a reward of 30 guineas. Tin: LORD Mayo': asked what were the circumstances of Mrs. Frazer. He was convinced that if she was in ne ceisity the ladies in London, who were constantly looking for real objects, would speedily relive her. The captain said the tinfoatunate lady was not mistress of a farthing. The clothes on her back had been given to her by the commandant's wife, and Captain Frazer had been the sole support of her and three children, who were in the Orkney Islands, to which she was anxious to go as soon possible. She was lame, and had almost lost the use of one arm and the sight of one eye, by the severity of the inflictions to which she had been subjected. The Lotto Mavon—l shall most willingly receive con tributions for her benefit, and I ant sure that the call will be soon answered. I never heard of anything so dreadful in all my experience. An Irish tailor, name,l Michael O'Kee . fr, was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having threatened to whip the life out of Evan Tuthill, a Welshman, the door of whose house he had broken open for the purpose of put ting his threat into execution. The complainant said that a few nights ago he heard cries of murder from Mrs. O'Keefe, the defendant's wife, and ran to her assistance in the court where she lodged. He there saw her husband strike a blow that would knock down an ox, and he interfered to save her from further vio- HoW the woman recovered after such a blow was what he could not understand ; she was, however, present, and would, no doubt, explain that matter. Before daylight, the defendant, who was mad that he was prevented from pummelling the body of his wife, knocked nt the door. Who's there ?" said the complainant. " It's only me," said O'Keefe; " I'm come to whip the life out of you for what you done to my wife." " What did Ido to your wife ?" asked the complainant. " Oh, nothing at all, to be sure," replied O'Keefe. " Y ou d on ' t remember taking her part, I suppose. By my sow!, I'll learn you how to treat my wife in that way ;" and he and his brother pushed in the door with their shoulders. The complainant roared out stoutly for help, and was heard by the police, who ran to his assistance. The d e f en d ant, a frightfully ugly fellow, with a low fore head, a p ug nose, and hut one eye, the neighbouring socket being op en and empty, called out, " Peg, jewel !" " Here I am, Mick," cried Mrs. O'Keefe and a young woman with a swelled face made her appearance. " Now, there's my wife, your Lordship ; ax bar if I hot her a blow." The Loan MAYOR—Now, Mrs. O'Keefe, did your hus band strik e you ? Mrs. O'Keefe—Lord bless you, not he. The LORD MAYOR —Swear her. Remember now that you are on your oath. Did your husband give you a blow in the presence of this man ? M. O'Keefe—Upon my soul, my Lord, it didn't desarve the name of a blow; he only just gave me a little tap on the cheek. The LORD MAYOR—Merely a good humoured slap in the face? Mrs. O'Keefe—Nothing in the world more. I scarce felt it, Complainant—Oh, Lord! oh, Lord! it was like the kick of a horse. Look how her face is swelled. I wonder she has any face at all. The Loan Mayon—Now, Mrs. O'Keefe, mind what I say. Your priest won't give you absolution for perjury. Remember that, Peggy O'Keefe, and answer me truly. Did not your husband give you a desperate blow ?

Not a desperate blow, I can't call it, my Lord ; he did fetch me a wipe to be sure, but —I've had a great deal worse.

Mrs. O'Keefe—Never mind Mick, jewel, I'll get hould of bail for you if it's to be had in the world. She then moved rapidly out of the Justice-room, and Mick was locked up in the cage to await the arrival of two respectable hard swearing householders from Saffron-hill. QUEEN-SQUARE. Henry Rodyemond, who underwent art examination on Thursday, was yesterday again brought Iv, and 'the depo sitions made for his commitment, DESTRUCTION OF THE “MEDWAY" STEAMER. Yesterday the Coroner for Kent held an Inquest in the Town-hall, Gravesend, on the body of Robert Maurer, a German, who lost his life nn Wednesday last, in his endea vour to escape from the Medway steamer, which took fire between Greenhithe and Northfleet. James Child was called to identify the deceased. The witness said he lived at No. 14, College -grove, Bow-road. He was a merchant's clerk, and fellow clerk to the de ceased. Had seen the body of the deceased ; knew it to be Robert Maurer. His age was 37. The deceased was employed as a clerk in the house of Frederick Hutt and Co., in Finsbury -square, merchants. He saw him last on Wednesday in the counting-house. He was then in good health. George Cole.—l live in Northfleet. lam a seaman. I was standing on Mr. Rhodes's upper wharf ; at Nortklfleet, on Wednesday last, about four o'clock. I saw a steam-boat just doubling the Hope Point, and a very heavy smoke abaft the funnel. A person alongside of me said the vessel is full of smoke. I soon after saw lire out of the starboard quarter. This was off the India Arms. They kept her to the north, and then ran her bang into Butcher's yard. I went off, and picked up one of the men overboard. I saw a female and a child, both of whom I picked up. I then picked up a gen tleman near Mr. Gladish's wharf. He was in a good depth of water, about 20 yards from the shore. When I took him it?, he appeared to be dead. I laid him on his stomach, and he did not move. The other parties who were in the boat were alive. 1 made all the speed I could with them to the shore, and gave them in charge to a medical gentleman. He did not see 'any other person in the water that he did not pick up. This was about four o'clock. He (lid not go back to the vessel. Assistance was not rendered, that lie knew of, by other persons. He was examined by the Direc tors of the Star Company the same day. He gave the same account be had given this day. William Hill, merchant, Cannon -street, did not know the deceased. He left London as a passenger on hoard the Medway, on Wednesday. They had one hundred pas sengers on board. They were between Greenhithe and Grays, when he was sensible of a strong smell of burning. He went to the Captain, and informed hint of it. The Captain said he did not know what it was. At Gras s the smoke issued from all parts of the funnel, and before they got down to the Hope the smoke was very dense. Many of the passengers called out, " put us nn shore." The Captain said if I do, many will lose their lives. Still they urged hint to put them on shore. He said I must not, and his firmness was manly. He went. on until the vessel was grounded, where she was found. The flames were bursting out of the portholes, and the conflagration became general when she touched the shore. Thu Captain when first spoken to said there was no danger. At Northfleet Hope the smoke was so dense as to leave no doubt of the vessel being on fire. The Captain told the men to get the buckets, an he (the Captain) assured the ladies there was no danger at all. He ascertained that one man lost his life. He (witness) retained his self-possession. He thought the Captain did all he could to avoid the worst consequences of the accident. He heard the Captain say to the engi neer, when the vessel went on shore, " Up with the safety valve." The shock, when she struck, was not enough to throw any one overboard standing forward —any one stand ing aft would have been thrown overboard. There was a boat hanging over the stern. Some of the passengers, an ticipating that getting into a boat would be the means of saving their lives, got into the boat. Mr. George Noland, an officer in the Customs, was a passenger on board the illedway. The - Captain was pressed by the passengers to put the people on shore. He said he could not. The passengers hailed the Princess Victoria, called out " Murder," and called for assistance. The people applied strong language to the Captain ; called him murderer, &c. There were great shrieks among the fe males, and the witness endeavoured to pacify them, The vessel then struck with a shock, which might have thrown many overboard. He then saw a man overboard, and re cognised him to be a person with whom he had conversed on board. He saw no evident danger, and they might have been all landed safe but for the alarm. He (lid think the 1 3 11120CSS Victoria did hear the cry for assistance, because they must have seen the smoke, Mr. Hollingworth, the mate of the Medway, said they left London at half-past one o'clock on Wednesday. They had upwards of 100 passengers. He observed smoke com ing out of the engine -room. His attention was called to it by a person named Hill, and he told him to go to the Cap tain, who ordered all the passengers to go forward. They went forward. He obeyed the Captain in putting the helm to starboard or port ; seven or eight passengers remained aft with him ; they were near him till they got to North fleet ; they got into the boat, he begged of them not to do so. The vessel was run on shore by the Captain's order. The tackle of the boat gave way and the bo:tt hung per pendicularly. They were plunged into the water. He caught hold of a young woman until the shock of the vessel was over. He then ran to let go the other boat tackle, which would not run. He did not know what became of the young woman. He leaped overboard, and remained in the water ten minutes. He seized a young woman by the waist but did not know what became of her. A friend of the deceased asked whether the vessel had been on fire before ? The witness said she was on fire three or four years ago. She took fire on the fore part of the boiler. It was trifling, and extinguished almost immediately. He thought the Victoria did not hear. Had they acted on the Captain's advice the whole might have been landed without injury. The CORONER adjourned the inquest at half-past four to Tuesday morning next, at nine o'clock. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. BAKER, Coroner, and a most respectable Jury, at the house of Robert Sharp, proprietor of the Woodman Tavern, Dalston, on the body of George Rutherford, Esq., merchant, of No. 19, DalztOn-terrace. Ellen, Powell, a young female, who, as it appeared, had h lived with th e d ecease d, h av i ng b een woun d e d the arm, and being consequently unable to attend the inquest-room, her testimony was taken in her bed-room as follows :—She had liv e d w i t h t h e d ecease d s i nce January last.

The tribunal of First Instance re fused the accusation ; they then tried it for abuse of King Otho : fearing the Government intended to put do wn th e press, they sentenced the responsible editor to throe months' imprisonment and 100 drachmas fine, but warded the sen tence in. such a way that they name the article " a protec tion of King Otho against the King of Havaria." In fact, the Greeks of all parties unite the mriment there is any thine. against Bavaria or a Bavarian, General Gordon has returned to Argos much disgusted with the Government, and in Vilstern Greece, Mamouris, on whom the Government cotrated most of all the capitani, has demanded permission to resign his command. The Government, after repeated demands from the men ' themselves, has freighted a vessel to take 490 of the Bava rians to Trieste. The plague has entirely ceased at Poros, and it will have pratique as soon as the weather cools. General Pisa, who was sent out in 1826 by the Com mittee, is just dead ; he was in command of Attica ; he was buried with all due honours. He was followed to the grave by most of the Councillors of State and all the troops in the garrison. He is universally , regretted. Amongst our other misfortunes, we have had several failures, both at Syra and at Nauplia. NAPLr.S. I The Piedniontese Gazette of the 11th instant publishes the following document, dated Naples. Aug. I.: " Considering that, thanks to the reinforcement s sent to Sicily, and to other measures adopted for the purpose of suppressing, in the neighbourhood of Palermo and else. where, the disturbances occasioned by the ravages- of the cholera, and the perfidious reports circulated in those dis tricts, the desired object has been attained. " Wishing to strengthen order by means - of Government measures, to remedy the existing evils, and put asp y end to the events, o f which the provinces of Messina, Cal d a- Syracuse are the theatre. " W e have resolved on issuing, and we her eiy issue, :h e following . decree : Art. 1. Having full confidence in our Minister Secre tary of State of the Police, the Major-General Marquis Delcazetto, are invest him with all the powers of an alter ego' for the provinces of Messina, Catania, and Syracuse, and order him to proceed to that portion of our dominions, and tu 'all other points he may think proper to visit, in or der to.zestore tranquillity in the disturbed districts. " Art. 2. He wiil correspond with us directly -on all be objects of his his mission.' "• On the same day (Aug. 1) his Majesty embarked for Sicily, at Casteilamare. The following from Palermo contains some-additional circumstances relating to Sicily, which, may be interesting : —" The Government, in its measures against the malefac tors, has been cautious in insuring, their detection arid pu nishment, without coming to a n open contest, which might have ended in the ruin of Palermo. In fact, with only 2,000 soldiers, nearly the whole of them invalids, it was not possi ble to take rigorous Inecsures with a city of 160,000 inha bitants, of whom 20,000 were rendered desperate from want. The authorities were, therefore, obliged to make a passive resistance until the arrival of sufficient forces from Naples. Scarcely, however, was the reinforcement 015,000 men landed, than stron g detachments were sent to the points where the • greatest excesses had been committed, and courts-martial were established. On the 22d of July 10 men were sentenced to death, and immediately executed in the small town of Mtsiltneri. Other culprits are nosy on their trial. Among the 10 persons executed was a boy, who, too young to manage a musket, went with the mur derers, and consummated the fate of thole who were wounded but not dead by stabbing them with a knife. The court-martial of Palermo has already begun to try the as sassins of the city and its environs. EGYPT. (From Mr. Waghorn.) CAIRO, JULY 25.—My absence from Egypt was for lour months, during which time Egyptian cotton declined iu price from 181 dollars, remaining now unsaleable at 10 dollars the cantar, below which price the Pasha's finance minister is determined not to sell, although he has on band at least three-fourths of this year's growth. I had seen it stated in the Smyrna Gazette a few days before my arrival that there was no money in Egypt, and that the country was in hopeless distress. In truth, I find it quite the re verse ; to the proof of which—lst, that the Pasha's minister mill not tell cotton at the present ruinous prices ; 2d, that 60,000 dollars were remitted from Egypt to England and France by the steamer three weeks ago ; and 3d, that the Pasha's European agents are all paid up. To mercantile men these three facts speak for themselves, and nothing better shoWS the renovating and rising pretensions Egypt monthly puts forth to he numbered among kingdoms, in stead of being fettered and chained, kept so by England, &e., to the certain fall of Turkey. The superior financial policy of Egypt is most striking. It results from sound organisation through Mehemed Ali's finance minister, Bog hos Bey, who appears to have been anticipating some such like panic in cotton as has happened in America, England, &c., and had a store of money for the occasion ; for al though three or four foreign merchants at Alexandria have failed by burning their fingers in cotton speculations, still the recent aspect of affairs in Egypt is more than equal to ass period of Mohamed Ali's government. The German miners sent eight months ago to this coun try some of whom are employed in Syria, and some in CoN dofan, have in both countries made in gratifying discoveries —in the former country iron mines, in the latter a gold one ; hut before extracting the ore from this last, an armed force is required for the protection of themselves and works, which will be shortly put at their disposal from a portion of the Pasha's troops in the vicinity of that district. Great interest is attached to this discovery by the Egyptian Government. Coalmines have been discovered in Syria, at Mount Le banon,' from 20 to 26 miles eastward of 13evrout, at an ele vation of upwards of 2,500 feet above the level of the sea. There are traces of coal and many thin strata in various parts of the mountains. Previously to this spring three mines had been.discovered, of a quality and thickness suffi.- cient to warrant the expense of proving and working them., Since that time another has been discovered, although Mr. Brettell, the Pasha's engineer i n S yr i a, is nor. yet able to decide upon its value. The se ams , on an , isveraee are three feet thick ; th e coa l i s of good quelity , and e aerates steam quickly, b u t f orms clinkers in the barsgof t h e grate, which requires frequent cleani ng ; it contains muc h iron pyrites, and, if not properly assorted, is liable to spontaneous ignition. The Pasha has determined to ascertain if it is suitable for smelting the iron ores f Syria, and his Hi g h ness i s now erecting an experimentaol furnace for that purpose. Should the experiment succeed, Mohamet Ali will erect iron works in Syria, where the ore is very abundant. Iron ore is found both in Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon, and it is traditionally reported that some of the mines were worked in the time of the Romans. Large quantities of cinder from the ancient furnaces are frequently met with occasionally, at considerable distances from the mines, generally in places where the evergreen oak flourishes. The mountaineers now smelt the ore with the branches of that tree, and iron thus produced is used for making horse-shoe nai.ts, and for other purposes where best iron i srcquired, The Eupikin navy is divided. and at sea —some cruis inF ca , Egypt, some off Syria, and so me o ff Candia ; while, during my absence, another splendid line-of-hattin ship has been launched, and is now in rapid couree of 6.. merit 140 Arsenal of Alexandria ; at which place imPre ve meats Are going on, particularly in building ;at no sP'Jts in
