U. ( 7 .S ZAt (4.V i" LONDON. MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1837. The writers in the Tory Journals ought to raise a *tattle to Mr. O'CONNELL. He is more than their Ma g nu s Apollo for that ungrateful deity starves a hundred votaries for one that he supports, while the ? 'rear Liberator a ff or d s a li ve lih oo d to every hacknied ' i llbier wh o c h ooses to ta k e hi s name i n va i n . He ma y in very truth be said to be the breath of their 11(3 strils, as well as the staff of their life—the element by which they live, move, and have their being." Were be to be withdrawn from this mundane scene, how many eloquent tongues would become silent,— how many empty stomachs become eloquent ! What a lack of argument would the pages of the Times and other Hanoverian organs exhibit ; and what a host of cackleys, sent back to graze the scanty common of Grub -street, would be heard to exclaim, in genuine sorro w of ,heart, with the Hon. Member for Evesham, " °Timmy's occupation's gone We h o p e , however, that they are in no danger of undergoing this calamity for a long time to come. The Liberator is no d,ubt past the meridian of life ; but he is hale and strong, possessing the mens sana in cor tiore sang beyond most men of his age ; and what Is exceedingly encouraging, as he advances in age, he Increases in power, and consequently in interest. We had thought that the Tory Journalists would by this tirrie have been tired of celebrating his praises. Not ineasure has been proposed in Parliament by Minis ters or their supp or t ers f or the last three years, but o CONNEL L was at the bottom of it. Not a divi 11°11 ha s taken place, in which the Ministerial majo tp' has not been described as the nominees of CI'CoNNELL. I n s ho r t, O'CONNELL was a sort Primum mobile, to which every thing, that turned up Nilfavourably for Toryism Vias immediately referred. n "( We really did imagine that the Tory faction, hay bg> aecordi n a to t h e i r own statement, gained so much j i the l ate elections, would have f oun d some new airn a kig-ho rse to s k u lk b e hi n d.

Now, the cry is that a great num they:f Mr. O'CONNELL'S nominees—as they call peo-ii---are Pr o t estants; t h at i s t en ti mes worse ! Th e se are difficult to please. If they will have h ave e: Cath o li cs nor P rotestants , w h at wou ld th e y : We think th e y h ar dly k now th e i r own m inds. 0,0 'NNELL is to them what the drummer was to the 1 ) ( 3 0r d • "1 who was undergoing the punishment of the B'4 he either strik es too hi g h or too l ow , never i n th e Place to please. On ' Conte m p orary , t h e Ad vert i ser, h as i nserte d cs morning in its columns a letter from SHARMAN ItAWFORD to O'C O N NELL , w hi c h, i t seems , i s to t be f°ll "ed up s h ort ly by ot h ers o f t h e same cha 4vter. We do not insect this letter entire ; in the : rst Place, b ecause i t i s f ar too l ong ; an d secondly, be use it contains little more than repetitions of certain urging which th e wr i ter h as b een i n t h e h a bi t o f Past. against Mr. O'CONNELL for two or three years " You have given you r adhesion," says he, " to a2ese men (Mi n i sters ) on the simple groun d o f th e tr i''P°sal of patronage. Surely, Sir, you know that disposal oof patronage f or t h e i nteres t s of the ple can only be secured by the extension ewxoti ein:_,on osiinalar lib erty ; and that it must follow that as sur e ly as day follows night ; and yet you earr 1 .0 give n o credit to this Ministry, if they even to 111 led measures of great ut ili ty to I re l an d , an d f a il e d Tet your views in the dispensation of patronage. 1 Lct them do this, and then yon declare yourself rearl' to aid in the perfect reconciliation of the people with the Ministry." Mr. CRAWFORD here puts forth a mere hypothesis, and then reasons on it as if it were an admitted fact. What right has he to accuse Mr, O'CONNELL of having given in his adhesion to the MELBOURNE Cabinet, " on the simple ground of the disposal of patronage ?" What proof—nay, what shadow of proof—has he in justification of such a charge ? If Mr. O'CONNELL has of late thought it incumbent on him to support Ministers, he has done so on these plain grounds—viz., that he found in them a greater disposition to advance the real interests of Ireland than in any Ministry that ever wielded power. They have brought forward measures recommended by intelligence and liberality ; they have done their ut most to put an end to the obnoxious ascendancy of that faction which has so long been the curse of the sis ter country, and to act towards it on the sound prin ciple of equal justice ; and, above all, they have pro moted men to high official situations who have long been in full possession of the esteem and confidence of their fellow-countrymen. Finding Ministers acting in this impartial and enlightened manner towards Ireland, and braving in her cause the frowns of a Court, and the directest and most rancorous hostility of the upper branch of the Legislature, what could Mr. O'CONNELL do but support them—and support them to the utmost extent of his ability ? He cared nothing for them as Whigs—indeed as such, he imagined him self bound to view them with distrust—but regarded them solely as friends to the best interests of his coun try, whom it was his bounden duty, therefore, as a pa triot to assist with all his energies. As for the " dis posal of patronage," which Mr. SHARMAN CRAW FORD thinks so highly improper, there is not the slightest foundation for any such charge ; for the indi viduals promoted, were not so much the personal friends of O'CONNELL as the friends of Ireland ; this was their great recommendation, and the. advantages of their promotion are already being felt through out the sister country. We regret to find an able and experienced man like Mr. CRAWFORD thus play ing the game of the Tories, by joining in their factious clamour against O'CONNELL and the Ministers ; and endeavouring to make it appear that the two parties have entered into an interested compact with each other, which cannot but be injurious to the interests of Ireland. When Ministers cease to do their best for the sister country, yet nevertheless still receive the undiminished support of O'CONNELL, then it will be quite time enough for Mr. CRAWFORD to enter his most earnest protest against their conduct ; but till then we think he would do wisely to refrain from condemning them. The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday con tain no domestic news of any political or general in terest. France happily enjoys at this moment the most profound social and political tranquillity. The Papers now and then throw out surmises about the dissolution of the Chambers, but it is evident from their tone that the question is one in which the people out of doors take no interest. The promise of an abundant harvest suffered no blight up to the date of these Journals, and the people were too eager to enjoy the blessings by which they were surrounded, to give a thought to the troubles of the rest of the world. As for the news from Spain, the substance of it will be all found in another part of our columns. Though more than usually interesting, it was heard wiPit an apathy bordering on indifference in the French capital. The advices from Italy contained in these journals will be found under that head in another part of The Sun. The Carlist correspondent of a Tory Contemporary writes from Mirambel (Lower Arragon), under date of the 4th inst., that Don CARLOS, after crossing the Ebro, sent the Duke of MEDINA SIDONIA to St. Petersburg, Count ARCOS to Turin and Vienna, and Count de MONASTERIO to Berlin and the Hague, to announce to these Courts his approach to the capital, and to request financial aid. Surely this fact ought to rouse the liberal spirit of the French Government. France cannot desire that the Spanish contest should lead to a general war between the liberal and despotical Governments of Europe. The following are extracts from the French Journals : FRONTIERS OF SPAIN.—On the 14th inst. three batta lions of infantry and 60 cavalry of the Queen's troops left Lodosa, and marched towards Soria, in pursuit of Don Basilio Garcia and the Junta of Castile. It is affirmed that a new expedition, of three battalions and 100 horse, which is preparing in the environs of Los Arcos, is going to enter Castile.—Sentinelle des Pyrenees. A letter from Samosierra, of the 14th, says that the column of Soria has compelled the Carlist Junta and its escort to retrograde, and to shut itself up in the Sierra.— Sentinelle des Pyrenees. The same Journal, after mentioning the arrival of Gen. Maya at Bayonne, observes that M. Galiano is at Pau, and that the Duke de Rivas has arrived at Cadiz. The following news has been received from Bilboa : " The Madrid mail, by way of Santander, has not ar rived ; this last town being surrounded by the rebels, and the communication with the capital cut off. The rebels had laid siege to Castro, three leagues from Portugalette the firing of cannon was heard in that direction. " General San Miguel had sent several regiments to Santander, which were conveyed by English vessels ; but the Commander of the allied squadron has refused to take on board General San Miguel himself, who had been obliged to go to Santander by an occasional vessel. The reason for this refusal is not understood."—Memorial Bordelais. FftENCH FUNDS -PARIS, AUGOST 25. rive per Cents.. 111 W. 60c. 65c, 70c. Feur and a Half ner Cents. Lg. boc.

Letters and Papers from Madrid to the 20th inst. inclusive, received this morning, bring important in telligence for which we were not unprepared. The assurance of the downfall of the CALATRAVA and MENDUABAL C , 3.binet having been effected by Tltil SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 28, 1837. a mintar; convinv:7, at the bottom of which was Jlie Christino Commander-in-Chief, is but the realization of a suspicion which we entertained from the moment we heard of ESPARTERO'S sudden appointment to the Presidency of the Council. We were therefore quite prepared for the announcement of his treachery made and substantiated in all the advices from Madrid received this morning. The designs of ESPA RTERO were no secret to the CALATRAVA Cabinet ; and we have good grounds for inferring that the QUEEN was well aware of them. The Mi nisters did what they could to save themselves. They forbade ESPARTERO to enter the capital, commanding him to march against the rebels at Segovia ; at the same time stating that they were not ignorant of the designs of his officers. They knew well that he was at the bottom of the conspiracy to oust them ; but as they had no force wherewith to resist him, and as they dreaded the opposition they might meet with from the REGENT, they deemed it the best policy to feign ignorance of his participation in the conspiracy of his staff. ESPARTERO'S answer prepared them for the worst. He pretended not to believe his officers capable of the designs attributed to them—boasted of his influence over them--and acce lerated by forced marches his entrance into Madrid. The result was an apparent conspiracy of the offi cers, without the knowledge of their General, to overturn the Cabinet, and a refusal to march until this demand should he complied with. ESPAR• TERO affected to be in a violent passion—com manded the insurgents to quit the service, which they, being previously so instructed, declared them selves ready to do—and to show they were in earliest some seventy-six officers gave up their swords in a body, when, as a matter of form, they were made pri soners. C ALA TRA VA seeing that the plot was in the progress of development, and knowing what would be the upshot, resolved with his colleagues to prevent all civil commotion by an immediate tender of their re signations. The QUEEN feigned surprise, and affected a repugnance to sanction such a resolution, but after hearing a few words in explanation from her Ministers, consented to their depositing at her feet the seals of their respective departments. In the sitting of the Cortes on the 18th the question of the agency by which the dis solution of the late Cabinet was brought about occupied the Chamber for several hours. It was not denied by any of the Deputies that the QUEEN had been coerced; but it was generally contended that ESPA RTERO was unacquainted with the designs of the conspirators. This is not surprising, inasmuch as the Cortes doubt their power to call the Commander-in-Chief to an account, now that he is at the head of the Constitu- tional army in Spain. But even in the Cortes the veil that is drawn over the treachery of ESPARTERO is so slight, that it requires but a breath to remove it. We will here quote, as an instance, so much of General SEOANE'S speech in the Cortes, on the 18th instant, as relates to the facts connected with the dis solution of the CALATRAVA Cabinet—a speech in tended as an apology for ESPARTERO, by an officer known to be his personal friend. We take the trans lation from the correspondence of the Chronicle : " Knowing how prejudicial it might prove for a number of officers to enter Madrid whom I understood not to wish to leave it, I informed the Government, who commissioned me to write to Espartero, who was ignorant of what was going on, and to inform him of the evil consequences which might result from the arrival of the officers in the capital, and stating to him at the same time that it would be more prudent to proceed to the right of Madrid in search of the enemy. In my letter I stated that it was the duty of the Royal Guard to continue in the field as long as there re mained an enemy ; and that the officer who sought a situation which would remove him from active ser vice deserved to be put in irons, and to meet with public reprobation. Espartero, confiding in his influence with the men and officers, and not suspecting the ear nest desire of the latter to enter Madrid, and to be placed on duty at the palace, gave me and the Go vernment the most positive assurances that no bad re sults would follow from the entrance of the army into the have v n e a t m two or three capital. That .he was grossly deceived in his opinion the Cortes are already aware, by a knowledge of the seanda lous fact of 60 officers who, converting themselv es i nto the csir Janizaries, have declared, We will not obey or d ers to ma march hmess ministry dozen of who ry obe n changed:caely write Thus ii their dared to dictate laws to the notion. In th e c it y the es . cl tion is asked, Has the Cond e de Luch ana been con_ meted with the conspiracy for turning out th e o ld and placing a new Ministry in power ?' In my own justifi cation I must observe, that after hearing these questions, but without believing them, I did not visit the Conde de Luchana. On the day he was about to march h e sent for me, and asked me whether the Ministry was popular or not, as he had heard some remarks on the sub ject in his division. With the honour and good taith of friendship, with the affection with which one brother vo u ld address another, or a father his child, I told him that the reason of these conversations was obvious, and were to be found in the bayonets of an armed force which bad con spired against the Government. I told him more, that, as he had introduced this topic, there was but one path for him to pursue--to mount his horse, proceed to the encampments, and the moment he heard a word of revolt to strike the first offender on the head with his pistol to the ground. Esparte ro, in consequence of this advice, did proceed to the encamp.. ments, but he possessed not sufficient energy to punish every tenth delinquent, to strip them naked, and have them marched in chains through the streets of Madrid. Were a shell suspended over my head I would hold the same language. I know I have to die, and 'the time is 0 . matter of indifference to me ; but not so that a handful of men should be permitted to endanger the prosperity of Spain. In this event has there been one soldier or sergeant who was not willing to obey? who has not remained sub missive and obedient ? With tears in their eyes the soldiery, when addressed by their commander (Espartero) on this subject, declared that they were all willing to follow him wherever he went, and that they did not want officers. With respect to the Ministry, some of whom have honoured me with their friendship, it is necessary I should express my opinion that they, not having been successful in their efforts to put an end to the war, and it being impossible for them to retain office at present in Spain without effecting this, ought to resign ; and this is also the view of many of their friends." This extract contains ample evidence of ESPAR TERO'3 participation in the plot, of which General SEOANE seeks to throw the whole odium upon the officers. Else why did he march upon the capital when ordered officially to proceed against the enemy ? Why, when informed beforehand of the designs of his officers by the Government, did he recognise their right to overturn the Administration, by accepting the Presidency of the Council ? General SEOANE is of opinion, that not having put an end to the war, the CAL A TRA VA Cabinet were in duty bound to resign. This depended upon the appearance of more enterpris ing and better men, willing to undertake the duties of the Government. But it was no part of the duty of CALA TR AVA and MENDIZABAL to resign their re spective Portffeuilles to such men as ESPARTERO and PITo PIZARRO ; and unless Spain rouse herself from the lethargy in which she is now steeped, Liberal Europe may have cause to regret the success of one of the foulest conspiracies that has yet disgraced the annals of Constitutional Spain. Even were ESPAR TERO to content himself with the power now in his ' hands, and to act with the greatest fidelity towards the QUEEN, he could not put an end to the civil war. The, cause is obvious. He does not enjoy the confi dence c. , f the nation, and out of Spain he has no credit whatever. His European reputation is that-of a pro crastinating, timid commander ; a shallow, pedantic courtier ; a bungling, intriguing politician ; an igno rant, self-caring financier ; and a self-styled official j a ck-of-all-trades, whose performances are always in an inverse ratio to the mighty magnitude of his R.)- . mises. With such a man at its head no Cab.tiet Cul be permanent—and yet its permanency, however short, must outlast its utility. On the 21st, ESPARTERO was at Torrelodo les. where he had remained four days without moving a Istep in any direction. In the interim he had allowed the officers, whom he pre'eaded to put under arrest for hying ronspired against the latw Government, to wake their escape. Their restoration to their several com mands in the army is the next news we expect from them. The Carlists were peaceably carrying the booty which they had seized at Segovia in the direc tion of the Ebro. They were in no hurry, knowing that they had only ESPA RTERO in pursuit of them. A report reached the French Government on Saturday night of the murder of General ESCALERA in a revolt of the garrison of Vittoria. The garrison of Miranda was likewise in a state of military insurrection on learning the success of the Carlists at Segovia. It was concluded in Madrid, from a report of General MENDEZ VIGo, that Old Castile was about to be come the theatre of the civil war. Lieutenant WHITE, of the British Royal Marines, has been taken by the Carlists, and is now a prisoner at Toloso. Don CARLOS is reported to have left Soria on the 14th, on his way to join Z A RIA TEGUI at Segovia. We have not ascertained the Pretender's rout on learning the evacuation of that important town by his troops. We are happy to learn from the New York Papers, received to the 2d instant, that the breach between the United States and Mexico has been made up. Mexico has admitted the claims of the American merchants, whose vessel had been seized, to compensation—expressed re gret for an offence to which the Government was not consenting—and promised to be more cautious in pro voking hostilities for the time to come. With these concessions the Government of the United States has expressed itself perfectly satisfied. This is a proper termination of an unpleasant affair, and reflects credit on the aggressor as well as the aggrieved ; for there is as much heroism in the voluntary confession of a fault as in the forgiveness of it. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) CORN El CHANGE. The past week's arrival of Wheat was good, and small of other English grain ; the quantity of Oats from Ireland con tinues plentiful. The trade for Wheat fluctuated in the course of last week, and other grain remained without altera tion. This morning the fresh supply of all descriptions of Corn has been small. In consequence of the heavy rain on Saturday, the factors demanded much higher prices for Wheat this morning, and they succeeded in obtaining ls. to 2s. per quarter advance on the term of this day se'nnight, and little was left unsold. Barley, Beans, and Pease remain as last quoted. The foreign Oats, duty paid, supply the trade with fine qualities, and the Irish being chiefly infe rior there is a variety for all buyers at the terms of this day se'nnight. There was a good supply of Flour last week, and prices are unaltered. The quality of new Wheat at market to-day was chiefly deficient in colour, and several parcels had many smut balls. The whole was sold at 50s. to 60;. per qr. The new White Peas are dry and of fair qua lity, at 355. to 378. Very few new Oats were seen to-day.

The Doune, in the Highlands of Scotland, has been thrown into confusion by an ultimely death. A favourite domestic was drowned in bathing in the Spey. This is the third man-servant in the family of the Duke of Bedford who has met with a watery grave in the seine place within short period. The lessee of the Swinton toll-bar was fined last week by the Manchester magistrates for having caused tolls to be demanded on the day of nomination for the southern division of Lancashire. He had supposed that the Act of Parliament only applied to the polling days, but the Ma gistrates convinced him he was wrong, the day of nomina tion being equally one of the clays of election.

CoLossEum.—This delightful place of entertain ment is open every evening with fresh attractions. A new farce, called More Meru than IVise, is forthcoming to night, in which Mr. Russell, Mr. T.

There is a great variety of other entertain ments, and the numerous brilliant promenades render the Colosseum one of the most delightful places of amusement at present open. It is nightly the resort of distinguished parties. A Belgian paper says that on the same day on winch the commercial treaty between Holland and Prussia was concluded, a commercial treaty between Holland and England was also signed, by which the same advantages were extended to the trade and navigation of England as those of Prussia.

(FURTHER PARTICULARS FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) HENLEY-ON-THAMES, AUG. 2e. In the report sent last night we omitted to state the great discrepancy in the account of the money transactions be tween the two parties at their examination. Mr. Vaughan said the Baron was indebted to him to the amount of 8;30/., whilst his friend the Baron gave a much larger sum (6,0001.), as being due to him from Mr. Vaughan. Amongst the various stories which the Baron has told of himself; it is a little amusing to hear he is in some degree connected with Royalty itself, the Duke of Sussex having, as he (the Baron) stated, at a dinner party, stood godfather to him. The in terest excited amongst some of the gentry in the vicinity, who were present at the examination, arose from the cir cumstance of their having in some measure a knowledge of his person, he being present at and forming one of " The Lions" at an Archery Meeting at Caversham Park, through the entree ore gentleman in the neighbourhood. The exa minations being now over, and the two gentlemen safely lodged in Oxford Castle, our quiet little town has again put on its usual appearance. Stephens, the policeman, will get a little rest, and the " Cachoeira Mining Company" remain a dead letter till revived at the day of the trial. LLOYD'S SHIPPING—(rHis DAY.)

The reports which have been current for some days of disturbances in Surat, and the burning of 25,000 houses, are not confirmed by the letters received this morning from Bombay to the 6th May. A steamboat bad taken a body of troops to the Malabar coast, no doubt to put down corn motions in that part of the country. We bad the infor mation of the death of the King of Ara last week, and of the disturbances which had broken out subsequently in that kingdom, which no doubt gave rise to the alarming rumour noticed above. Letters received from Rangoon state that great civil commotions prevailed after the death of the King of Ava ; that commerce was suspended ; and that the communication between the capital and Rangoon was entirely cut off. The English merchants and fo reigners were in the greatest consternation, owing to dangers which threatened their lives and property ; and without the powerful influence of the British Resi dent, they would have been pillaged of everything they amassed for several years past. Happily the name of Co lonel Burney was a safeguard to protect the lives and pro perty of these gentlemen during those days of anarchy and confusion. Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at 91- 1 1 92 for the Account, are not so good at present, and may be quoted at 914 for the Account ; Money, 911 Exchequer Bills, 46 43 45 prem. ; India Bonds, 47 48 prem. ; Bank Stock, 210 - 211 ; India Stock, 2591. In the Foreign Market Spanish Active is heavy, owing to the unfavourable accounts received from various corps of the Queen's troops. On one occasion, the division sta tioned at Vittoria, finding that the General was a traitor or coward, they put him to death. If this example had been put into execution some time since, the Queen would have been more faithfully served.

ROYAL YACHT SQUADIZON REGATTA. FIFTH DAI. SATURDAY, Aun. 26. —The match for the s,,lendid Silver Cup, this season, came off this day at 11h. 15m. The three following yachts started with a fine breeze from the westward : The Union, Spencer—De Horsey, Esq., Al. P. The Vampyre—l. Lendegren, Esq. The Wave, 54 tons—Rev. D. George. The course differed from the former ones, the ve:sels first beating to the westward, rounding a vessel moored off New - town, thence running to the eastward round the buoy of the Royal George, back to the vessel off Newtown, and return ing to the starting vessel eff Cowes Castle. The match was one of the best this season, the Union and the Vampyre being alternately the favourite,' and never, at least a very trifling distance, from each other. Considerable sums were won and lost this day, the Vampyre being repeatedly the headmost ves sel ; but the Union eventually came in one minute before her, after a closely-contested match of 5 hours and 32 minutes. The course was 31 miles. TONS. It. M. OWNERS. The Union 4B 4 47 S. De Horsey, Esq., M.P. The Vampyre 49 4 4S I. Lendegren, Esq. The Ware gave in, having carried away her main halyard bolt. The last fortnight has been one of great attraction—sailing matches, rowing matches, R. Y. S. balls, and dinners, with splendid displays of fire works, left no day without its amuse. ments. The Cup sailed for on the 2.3 d is given up to the Menai. We mentioned that the superior tonnage" of the Dolphin .d defeated the skill of the oldest Captains in the R. Y. S., and that she had reached the starting vessel three minutes be fore the Menai. This was correct, and we expected the former had won the cup ; but it soon appeared that the match became so desperate before they rounded the vessel off New. town—the Dolphin, on the larboard tack, standing to the northward—the Menai on the starboard to the southward—nei ther could fetch a-head of the other ; and the former should have borne up or tacked ; but they stood on till the vessels were nearly in contact, when Hollis finding they would not give way, and that he must either run into the Dolphin or go about, chose the latter alternative, and won the cup. The matter having been referred to the Committee, they awarded the cup to Mr. Harvey, Mr. Acker's yacht having been sailed contrary to the rules laid down by the Royal Yacht Society, i. e., that yachts on the larboard tack should give way to those on the starboard. We have had a great many arrivals and departures this week; amongst the latter are Middleton Biddulph, Esq., for Chirk Castle, North Wales ; Clutton Brock, Esq., for Pensax Court, \Vorcestershire ; •Lord Aylmer and family, for London ; T. Smith Barry, Esq., for Cove Cork; E. Carrington, Esq.. for Plymouth ; Sir John and Lady Walsh, Evan Edwards, Esq., and numerous others ; many of the visitors of the first part of the season leave next week, as Sir R. Bulkelev and family, after a residence of four months ; the. Rev. C. gyres, the Marchioness of Anglesey, Lady H. Baring, and W. He neage, Esq. This will give an opportunity to numbers to pro cure houses, which they before could not obtain, though many are already re-taken. The Tories have served only eleven notices of objections on the county voters in this town, two of whom could not vote at the last election, having sold their property. The others are principally connected with Mr. Hearn's Borough Boundary Line, and the votes depend on whether it had advanced or re ceded since the last registry. FRESHWATER, ISLE OF WIGHT. —The novelty of two ships being wrecked in this neighbourhood, at this season of the year, has attracted numerous visitors from Cowes, and other Farts of the Island. There being no lives lost, there is not that painful feeling on the mind, on witnessing_ the sea break over these unfortunate vessels, as was produced in the winter on looking on the Clarendon and L'Auguste ; in the former twenty-five persons lost their lives, in the latter the whole crew perished. This induces huudreds to visit the coast, from Freshwater to Black Gang Chine. The wreck and part of the cargo saved from the brig La Jcune Olimpe, consisting of lead, cork, oil, madder, and teasels, were sold by auction on Friday, at Atherfield ; the shore, for miles, is covered with the latter. Great part of the cargo of the ship Jane, Gibbons, m a st e r, co n sisting of indigo and mahogany, is also saved. MR. WALLACE, M,P.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ROBERT WALLACE. Kelly, August, 22, 1837. THE THAMES TUNNEL.—The repairs in the works of the Thames Tunnel are nearly complete. Our reporter was yesterday afternoon present, and found that the water had been reduced six feet below the crown of the Tunnel, the steam-engine having pumped out about thirty feet of water. The means taken to close up the opening of the river have been consequently, as proved so far, al: ready completely successful, and it is with pleasure we no tice another instance of the skill of the engineer, Mr. Bru nel, in overcoming every difficulty which may present itself. It is highly gratifying to notice the conduct of the work- wen, whose zeal in prosecuting this extraordinary work is beyond all praise. So strong an interest is excited for the completion of this truly national work, that mane foreigners as well as others visited the works yesterday. At a meet ing of the Directors held yesterday afternoon in the office near the Tunnel, Mr. Brunel, and the acting engineer, Mr. Pa.ie, rendered accounts of all the circumstances connected with the late irruption, and the Directors authorized Mr. Brunel to adopt the most effective means to clear the Tunnel of water as soon as the bed of the river is in a state to permit it, and to lay before them a report thereof on a future day. The Directors passed a unanimous reso lution expressive of their perfect confidence in the plans he has adopted. It was also their opinion that the conduct of Mr. Page and the assistant engineer was highly praise . worthy, for the energetic and indefatigable tuaniier in which they bad performed their duties in the late irruption. We also understand that a resolution was adopted to suspend for the present the admission of the public to view the works.— Sunday Paper. MURDER OF CAPO D'ISTRIAS.—Capo d'lstrias had been expressly apprised by the police that a plan had been formed to assassinate him. On entering the chapel on the day in question, he saw standing at the door of it the two Mavromichali, whose relative he bad caused to be im prisoned. At first it should seem as if he suspected their intentions ; for be was observed to pause on seeing them, end to reflect for a few moments, during which he took a pinch of snuff, as if to aid his reflective powers. The re sult was, that he passed the Mavromichali, who saluted Vm respectfully as he entered, and he passed on to the chapel, and attended the mass. On his return, however, the brothers were still there ; and, immediately on his reaching the dnor, one of them shot and the other stabbed him. He died almost immediately.—Cochranes Wander jugs in. Greece. CORONER'S INQUEST.—SUICIDE AT MR. FRANK- LAND LEWIS'S, MAI . Faut..—On Saturday night a Coro ner's inquest was taken before Mr. Higgs, at the house of Mr. Frankland Lewis, No. 83, Hatfield-stret, May-Fair, on view of the body of Phoebe Parry, aged 40, a house maid in that gentleman's establishment, who nearly severed her head from her body with a razor. John Whybred, a gardener, had known the deceased fifteen years. She had been fifteen months in Mr. Frankland Lewis's family. She was a single woman and was placed in care of the house while undergoing repairs. No one slept in it beside her till the last night or two, when it was thought advisable that some one should he in the house, as she appeared so low and dejected. Witness slept in the house on Friday night. The deceased's brother-in-law also slept there, and when leaving directed witness not to let tile deceased out and to lock the house door. Her brother-in-law left about seven o'clock. When he parted with the deceased she said, " Pray let Inc go out ; do not leave me here." About eight o'clock witness, having missed the deceased tor a quarter of an hour, went up to her bedroom, where he found her with her throat cut. She was dressed. George Bohner, No. 8, Berkeley-street, Portman square, was the deceased's brother-in-law. On Friday night he did not go to bed, in consequence of the alarming situation in which his unfortunate relative was, who never -went to bed, and who was walking about her room all night. He thought her deranged. She had not been right in her mind s . ince about eighteen mon th s ago , w h en she was attacked with a paralytic stroke. She was then in the family of the Duke of Somers e t, i n w h ose serv i ce s h e had been nine years. Verdict, "Temporary mental de rangement." As an instance of the number of peasants who have repaired from this port, chiefly to Scotland, in search of harvest work, we may mention that on Tuesday the St. Caunib saile , t with nearly 800 on board ; and on her pass ing Moville, boats put out to her with 200 more, to whom. whom the captain had to refuse admittance, there not being so touch as standing-rootn for them.
