FRUIT SEASON. FAC H succeeding year proves, more extensively .1 than its predecessor, the advantage of substituting for Beer or other fermentable liquors BETT'S PATENT BRANDY, diluted with water, in the proportion of one to six or seven ; in which state the price but little exceeds that of Malt Liquor. This course, strongly recommended by the principal members of the Faculty, can nPver be more essential than at the present period, when, among th r causes incident to the season, the natural use of fruit renders the choice of a safe and wholesome Beverage a matter of the first importance. The established purity, and h•eedom from acid, of the PATENT BRANDY, expressly and exclusively certified by Chemists of the first eminence, and further substantiated by its constantly increasing sale, warrant J. T. BETTS and Co. in draw ing public attention to its wholesome and superior qualities, not only as a beverage, but also with reference to its use in fortifying Home-Made Wines, in the preparation of Confectionary and Pre serves, and for general medical and culinary purposes. As Distillers, J. T. BETTS and Co. cannot send out less than two Gallons, which may be obtained, either pale or coloured, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, of the highest legal strength, at the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield-bars, leading to St. John street, which is their only establishment.

A very considerable and painful excitement has taken place since Thursday last, at Snaresbrook, Wanstead, Ley tonstone, and other villages in the vicinity of Epping-forest, in consequence of the body of a respectably-dressed man being discovered in the Forest in a frightful state of de composition, and the contents of a large pistol dischargei through his body, with other marks of external violence— two pistols that had been discharged were found on the ground close to the unfortunate man. The Jury having been sworn, viewed the body. The office was one of a truly disgusting and painful nature, the corpse scarcely presenting a vestige of mortality, being one mass of corruption and worms. Many of the Jury were se riously indisposed from the effect of the sight. Henry Parsfield, in the employ of Mr. Spelling, farmer, I of Wanstead, between five and six o'clock on Thursday evening last, was in Epping Forest, when he was annoyed by a very unpleasant effluvia ; a few minutes afterwards witness was shocked at a most appalling and loathsome spectacle presenting itself to his view ; as far as he (wit ness) was able to observe, it was the remains of a man very respectably attired ; but the mortal part was in so decom posed a state as to exhibit nothing but one living mass of worms. At the time witness discovered on the ground neiir the body of the deceased two pistols. By the CORONER-It was impossible for any person to identify the body of the deceased—his skin was nearly as black as soot, and his features were completely rotted and eaten away by the worms. By the Jury—l should consider that the deceased must have lain in the situation where I found him ten days or a fortnight. It was in a very retired place where the body laid. Mr. Franklin, a surgeon residing at Wanstead, had seen the body of the deceased, but from the dreadful condition it was in he felt reluctant to make any examination ; he however, was enabled to detect the pistol wound, which was right through the body, and from its proximity to the heart, there was no doubt but that it was the cause of death. A discussion took place as to the propriety of an adjourn ment, for the purpose of obtaining, if possible requisite evi dence touching the shocking and mysterious occurrence ; but as it was thought very uncertain, the following ver dict was eventually returned :—" That the deceased was found dead in Epping forest, with a pistol wound through his body, but whether such was inflicted with his own band or by any other party, there was no evidence to the July." The friends of the deceased on Sunday proceeded to Snaresbrook for the purpose of identifying the body : but to their great astonishment they found that the inquiry had been held, and the deceased interred. But on the clothes being produced the identification of the unfortunate gentle man was fully established. His name is Frederick Cooper ; he was a single man, and had held responsible situations under Government. He left his r.idence in Crown-street, Westminster, on last Friday fortnight, at which time he was in a very low dejected state of mind, arising from his affections having been blighted. Soon after he absented himself, his brother, who resides in the Regent's-park, re ceived a letter from him (deceased), the following of which is a verbatim copy : " Thursday Evening. " DEAR BROTHER—I thought it best to send a few lines to you, so that you might break the melancholy news to my poor dear mother, who, I am afraid, will take it greatly to heart. Ido indeed intend to make my exit. I have provided myself amply with the means to effect my purpose ; it is indeed a premeditated act, and which I have contemplated for a long time. This is all owing to my dear Emma. I wrote to her, saying she would hear dis agreeable news of me, but of what nature I gave her no rea.on to guess. Dear Brother, support and strengthen our dear mother for my sake. So far from being dejected, I feel quite happy respecting, the change I am about to undergo. Farewell for ever, " F. COOPER." VAUXHALL G liDEN3.—Yesterday afternoon a great number of persons assembled to witness the ascent of Mr. Green in the Royal Nassau Balloon. At about a quarter past six o'clock the inflation was finished ; and, at halfpast six, six gentlemen entered the car with this expe rienced aeronaut. Nearly ten minutes more were occupied in adjusting the ropes and making other preparations ; after which Mr. Green, by an artificial contrivance, re leased himself from the last rope, and the balloon ascenied with great rapidity, taking a north easterly course, and wa s soon lost in the clouds. The weather was rather unfa vourable and the wind high. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Yesterday the sixth anniversary of the opening of this picturesqu e do main was celebrated by a grand day fete, on which occa sion the Bedouin Arabs, for the first time, exhibited their extraordinary evolutions in the open air, on an immense floating stage, purposely constructed for them in the centre of the ornamental lake. The new view of Mount Vesuvius was exhibited during the day ; it is one of the most effse five scenic representations, on a large scale ever produced in this country. As this picture is painted for day-light effect, more attention has been paid to its details than is u,ually bestowed on ordinary scenes for a theatre. But the Vesuvius at the Surrey Zoological Gardens is ❑ot merely a day-light exhibition ; last evening, soon after dusk, the illusion was wrought up to reality by a mimic eruption of the volcano. This was an ingenious performance o f pyrotechny, in which gunpowder was made to 4. play many parts," and the multi-coloured varieties of flame were turned to excellent account. The band of the fusiles r guards were in attendance, and performed some beautiful pieces of music on the lake, the banks of which were crowded by a numerous host of visiters. Yesterday afternoon, an immense crowd of Persons wt re attracted in Leather-lane, Holborn, by the scream s and struggling of a boy about eight years of age, who w as in strong hysterics, who attempted to throw himself from a first-floor window, but was prevented by a neighbour. It appeared that his father and mother, the owners of a cat's meat shop, had been drinking until they were dead drunk, and they had plied their child with gin until he raved and fell into fits. He was eventually put to bed in a dangerous state, and medical assistance sent for. The indignation and execrations of the assembled populace against the unnatural parents were strong and indescribable. Yesterday morning, the body of a new born male child, was found at an early hour, by a policeman named Holmes, 72 K, in Hold-street, Stepney. The body was in a very decomposed state, and wrapped up in a black handkerchief. The policeman conveyed it to the house of Mr. Storey, a surgeon, in the Blackfriars-road, for the pur pose of a post-mortem examination, and an inquest is to be holden on the body this day. LANARKSHIRE ELECTION.—At the poll at Air drie, on Monday week, Charles Cooper was not allowed to v,te because his name was not to be found on the She riff's register. On that day, a letter was written to Glas gow on the subject, and the answer returned was, that Cooper's name was scored out. He then voted, under p , otest, on Tuesday. On the proper books being examined after the declaration, it was found that the Sheriff, with his own hand, had scored Cooper's name out, and added, " Dead, A.A." Cooper went to the Sheriff on Thursday night, and entered a protest against Mr. Lockhart's being duly elected. Had this been discovered before the decla rgion, it might (the Sheriff willing) have made the votes equal. How it is likely to end, perhaps the Lord Advo cate or Solicitor-General, to whom the matter is referred, may be able to inform us ; but we should think the Sheriff must stand in a ticklish position, if, by a dash of his pen, he sets this extensive county in a blaze again, which may cost each candidate some thousands of pounds.—Corrc spondent of the Mercury. During the election race at Doncaster, between Principle and Corruption, the latter ran so fast that he was backed by the knowing ones to a large amount ; and so reckless .were they of money, and so determined to gain the winning post at any hazard that they literally bought every thing that could be considered an obstacle, or which might impede their ultimate success. In proof of this, there is amongst the articles in the catalogue under the head of secret purchases, "to a load of chips, 61. 65." When this circumstance was mentioned at the close of the contest, a wag observed, " that the corruptors ought to be burnt with their own bargain of chips, then they would be a burning shame to all intents and purposes." ORTHOGRAPHY.-IEI a window in Little Coram street, Russell-square, a placard is exhibited, on which is written " Wanted a respectble yung femel to the abber dashrey, on applicasions, pertickler, will be anscred," In t'le same street a window " sports" two bills, from which the following are correctly copied ; one " Cubass siggars—mem murandun books, one penney and toopence a peece ;" the other " A persun Bows out two washin and cleenin, and logins for a singull women at No. 3, Abbey-place." By accounts from Washington we learn that the gold coinage during the month of May amounted in r,lue to 268,000 dollars. Oa the 31st of May, there remained uncoincd to the value of 113,535 dollars. LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT—Ara. 19. IN THE MATTER OF EDWARD ASHTON. Mr. Cooke applied in this matter for an attachment to issue, for the commitment of the insolvent. The case had been before the Court in several forms, and much pertina city had been displayed by the insolvent against the orders of the Learned Commissioners. He was heard on the Circuit at Lancaster some time ago, and on the opposition of his landlady, a Mrs. Ann Golightly, he was directed to give up possession of her premises, she not wishing him to hold her property without the equivalent of rent. He afterwards applied to a full Court, alleging that he had yielded pos session ; but it turned out, that when Mrs. Golightly went to take possession she was assaulted by the insolvent's son and others, and from the effect of the injuries the poor woman had died. The parties had been indicted, and were now undergoing their punishment. The insolvent on the following circuit appeared, and it. being understood that the property bad been given up he was ordered to be dis charged ; he immediately took up his quarters in the same house, where he had remained. Letters of ad ministration bad been taken out to the property of Mrs. 6olightly, and application was made to the insolvent to quit ; he, however, refused to stir or pay real.' An application was then made to the. Court for a rehearing to revoke the discharge, on the ground that it had been improperly obtained ; the insolvent was ordered to attend before Mr. Commissioner Harris at Lancaster, on the last circuit ; he had disobeyed the order, and the present application was for his commitment to Lancaster Castle for contempt. _ _ . Mr. Commissioner BOWIN granted the application. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. ROBBERY AT THE EAST INDIA WAREHOUSES. Yesterday John Hill (a master carman), Peter Reeves, and John Seeley were indicted for stealing six chests, con taining 4.501b5. of tea, of the value of 1001., the property of the East India Dock Company. Mr. Sergeant ARABIA' summed up the evidence, and submitted that with respect to Reeves it did not press heavily in regard to him. With respect to the other pri soners the Jury had heard the evidence, and it was their province to judge whether they were guilty or not. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Hill and Seeley, and acquitted Reeves. The Learned Judge having conferred with Mr. Alder man PIRIE, sentenced the convicted prisoners to be trans ported for the term of seven years. Reeves was advised to be very cautious how be engaged to do odd jobs in future. The case occupied the entire morning, and great surprise was expressed more than once at the facility which was given to fraud by the careless manner in which tea was de livered from the warehouses. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A bOy'damed 'Callaghan, with his hair cut close in that style known as the Bridewell crop, from the circumstance of all young thieves having their hair cut off when com mitted to prison, was charged with having picked the pocket of General Mundy. The General was walking along Oxford-street, when he noticed that be was followed by several boys. Suspecting their object was his handkerchief, he placed it, as he thought securely, at the bottom of his pocket, but in a moment af terwards a policeman came up with the prisoner in charge, and the handkerchief. General Mundy said if the boy was not a very bad cha racter he hoped the Magistrate would not object to the charge being withdravra ; " for," added the General, " the handkerchief is of no value, being, like the owner, much the worse for hard service." Mr. CHAMBERS said the young pickpockets were so nu merous and dexterous, that it was almost impossible to guard against their practices. The other morning when passing the end of Oxford-street, some boys were apparently p!aying on the heap of stones there ; one of them jumped down close to his toes, and having thus diverted his attention, the accomplice adroitly extracted his handkerchief. He said he should remand the boy, and if any circumstance of a favourable nature were discovered, he should have the benefit of it. Yesterday Joteph Dearing, a half-starved looking young man, dressed in the tattered remains of the uniform of the late British Auxiliary Rifle Brigade, was brought before Mr. CHAMBERS, charged with being found wandering about the streets. _ _ • Police constable No. 95 of the C division, stated that he found the defendant sitting on the step of a door in Sutton-street on Sunday night. Find:rig he had no place of habitation, and was pennyless, he conveyed him to the station-house. _ _ _ Dearing said he would endeavour to reach Dublin, for the purpose of ascertaining if the money, for which he had an order, was payable there, on which Mr. Chambers ordered him Is. from the pOor-box, and he left the office. HA TTON-GARDEN. Yesterday James Stokes was placed at the bar, charged with having stolen nearly 1001bs. of new copper, the pro perty of Mr. Randall, aquafortis manufacturer, of No. 11, Elst-street, City-road. The prisoner, it appeared, was in the employ of Mr. Randall, who is in extensive business as an aquafortis manufacturer, and is in the habit of using an immense quantity of copper. The utmost confidence was reposed in the prisoner, until Friday last, when be called upon a marine store dealer, named Levy, of No. 29, Hoxton Old Town, with nearly 100Ibs. of new copper, which he agreed to sell at sd. per .pound, when he received a sum in part payment, and agreed to call for the remainder of the money in the evening. The property was no sooner left than a man was employed to carry it to Mr. Frost, brass-founder, St. John's-square, Clerkenwell, for sale, and Ile was accompanied by a girl, who was to receive the money. It being new copper, and a suspicion that all was not correct, Mr. Frost refused to make the purchase, and the man having left the girl was found dragging the copper through the street. She was taken to the station-house, where she confessed that site had bought it from Mr. Levy, a marine store-dealer, at Hoxton. Sergeant Palmer, 17 G division, proceeded to Levy's to make inquiries, when he re quested to see the books, which were refused him, and at length he was informed that they had bought it of the prisoner, who was to call in the evening for his money. Palmer awaited his arrival and took him into custody, when he confessed that he had robbed his employer for the pur pose of raising some money. When taken into custody ho became dejected and agitated, and on his road to the sta tion-house he said, " I would be better dead than alive ;" and he attempted to cut his throat with a penknife, but was prevented doing so by the officer. Palmer proceeded to the . house o f M r . R an d a ll, w h o was i n t h e country, b ut lliam Howman, the foreman, refused to charge the prisoner until he wrote to his master. The prisoner was rcmaaded until Thursday next, in order that Mr. Randall might be communicated with, informing him of the robbery and the necessity of his attendance. QUEEN- S Q UA RE. PETITION TO HER MAJESTY.—llfargarct Landels, the riife of George Landels, late of the 2.2 d Regiment, was yesterday charged with having thrown a petition into the carriage of her Majesty at Buckingham Palace, on Satur day night last. The defendant is about forty years of age, and the ad dress given on the charge sheet was No. 3, Vincent-terrace, Vauxhall Bridge -road. A policeman, Brown, 85 B, stated that be was on duty round Buckingham Palace, as about six o'clock on Satur day evening, the time her Majesty was about to take an airing in the Parks. The defendant, as her Majesty was seated in her open carriage, rushed forward from the num bers assembled, and threw a large parchment parcel into the carriage, which fell pn the seat. The constable imme diately took her into custody. She was, howerer, bailed by a very respectable person. A gentleman from Kew Palace had had some commu nication with the Magistrates, in which it was understood that her Majesty had been graciously pleased to pardon the offence. Airs. Landels said that every representation had been made to the proper authorities. Mr. WHITE cat tinned the defendant against the repeti tion of the offence, and also her husband, who was in atten dance. He reminded them that they had been guilty of a gross act of disrespect in the conduct pursued. They were then discharged. The following is a copy of the petition which was thrown into the carriage :_. .. To her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen of Grcat Britain and Ireland, &c. The humble petition of Margaret Landels, the wife of George Landels, late a lieutenant in your Majesty's 92d re giment of foot, sheweth, " That your petitioner's husband is the son of an old and PRICE sd. faithful servant, who has served in your Majesty's army up wards of fifty years, and is still serving. " That your petitioner's husband has also seen upwards of twenty-three years' service, the greatest part of which period in the worst tropical climates—Western Africa, and the West Indite. ........... " That your petitioner's husband was ultimately tried by Court-Martial, in January, 1834, in the Island of Jamaica, on charges which originated solely in an unfortunate difference and affray with another efficer (who was the real aggressor), and dismissed, after so long a period of service, destitute and pennyless—with your petitioner and six young and helpless children to support, now reduced to the utmost deprivation and want. . . _ _ " That your unfortunate petitioner, her husband, and in fants would really have perished under their sufferings during the late inclement winter had it not been for the humanity of some generous strangers, who, from time to time, rendered their benevolent but temporary assistance in hopes of the Royal clemency being ultimately extended to your petitioner's husband, who stands perhaps the only instance where some commutation or compensation has not been granted after such a length of service, particularly under the circumstances connected with his peculiar case. " That your petitioner's husband was born in, and his whole life has been devoted to, the service. His patrimony, his pay, his consequent enfeebled constitution from his long residence in tropical climates, his advanced time of life, and total igno rance of any other profession, precludes and shuts him out from any other employment from an unfortunate but too pre valent opinion that military men are only adapted fur situe,- tions under Government, as more compatible with their former habits of life. " That your petitioner anticipates with feelings of the deepest apprehension and dread the approaching winter from the pre sent dismal and destitute prospects before herself and unfortu nate children in consequence of the total impossibility of her husband to obtain employment of any kind to enable him to support them. " That in this truly distressing and trying situation your petitioner approaches your most gracious Majesty with sensa tions of the deepest respect, and humbly implores of your Majesty to listen to the petition of a mother craving your Royal clemency, in behalf of her innocent and helpless off spring, and humbly prays that your Majesty will, in your be nign goodness, give commands to place within her reach a compensation for the long and faithful services of her unfortu nate husband, the means of emigration to some of your Ma jesty's colonies, or any other relief which in your most gra cious nature you may deem fit, for their future support. And your petitioner, as in duty bound, will ever pray that the Great Ruler of the Universe, who alone is the protector of Sovereigns, rill in his mercy bless and preserve you for the happiness of all your subjects. (Signed) " MARGARET LANDELI. " 51, Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn, Aug. 19, 1837." TVORSHIP-STREET.

The Augsburg Gazette gives the following letter from Rome of the sth instant :—" The several cases hitherto attributed to cholera are considered doubtful ; but the Pope has ordered several large buildings to be prepared to receive patients, should the disease really make its ap pearance. All public functionaries have received orders to remain at their posts, under pain of being discharged. This injunction includes the physicians, surgeons, apothecaries, and chemists. The lower orders of the people here, as well as in most other places, arc inclined to impute this infliction to a system of poisoning." The same journal states that during the fury of the populace at Palermo all sorts of afro• cities were committed ; women and girls were viohlted, and even human flesh was eaten. The alarm is very great at Syracuse ; the people have driven out the garrison, and have got possession of the forts. A shark was brought into Mevagissey on Wednes day morning, which, when opened, had 4 pilchards in his stomach, besides two or three scads.—West Braun. SUDDEN DEATIIS.—As a labouring man, named Edward Ashton, servant to Mr. David Jarman, farmer, of Coedmawr, near Llanidloes, was mowing hay, together with several others, he was suddenly taken ill. He fell on his knees, and told his fellow ►workmen that he was un well, and died in a moment afterwards. As Thomas David, blacksmith, and tenant to Morris Williams, Esq., o f Cwmgloyne, was returning from the Independent Chapel at Velindre, in the parish of Bayvil, Pembrokeshire, on Sunday, in ascending College Hill, he fell down dead on the spot. On Sunday, as a lad in the employ of David Davies, Esq., of Cardigan, was dri‘ing cattle to water to the pond of Pantygwyndy, it is thought that he fell in, for on the following morning he was found drowned. The body, when discovered, was in a perpendicular position.-- Shrewsbury Chronicle. The Helvetie publishes a biographical article respecting the late M. Mater, the claims to whose property have given rise to differences between the British Minister and the Go vernment of Zurich. His real name was Thomas Naters. He was born in Liverpool, and served a long time in the merchant navy. Tired of that service he repaired to Ca nada, and subsequently to the United States, where he be came a farmer. He had not, however, been long engaged in agricultural pursuits when a rich relative of hi:died, leaving him property to an immense amount. The possession of so much wealth deprived M. Naters of repose and peace of mind. Having no family, his first care was to look out for an heir. His choice fell on M. William Mather, of New castle-upon Tyne, and at Long Island, in the State of New York. He made a will, constituting him his uni versal legatee, on condition of his paving two legacies of 20,0001. each. His motive for selecting M. Ma ther was because the latter was a distant relative of the friend who had bequeathed him all his fortune. This will was signed by M. Naters on the 27th of June, 1822, in presence of three witnesses, and a duplicate of it. was sent to England and deposited in the hand of one of the legatees, on condition he should net open it before lie obtained positive information of the testator's death. Shortly afterwards Na ters left the United States for Europe, with a view to find out some solitary abode where he might conceal himself and his riches from mankind, for he had become a complete mis anthrope. He avoided going to England, and sought refuge first in France and eervrards in Switzerland. He lived a long time reti r ed near I'verdon, and then removed to Gol denberg, a remote country s t ;:it of the district of Andelfin gen, in Zurich, where he at last Tound and enjoyed the soli tude he had been so long in quest of. Naters, although a man-hater, was, nevertheless, charitable to prodiga lity. He lavished his fortune indiscriminately on every body around him, and his munificence was attended with such deplorable consequences, that the A uthorities of Zurich were at last obliged to require him to confine his benevolence within limits which would render it. truly bene ficial. Naters- acceded to their invitation, and from that day he placed yearly at the disposal of Government a cone sidcrablc sum to be divided, in proportion to their wants, among the public establishments of Zurich, such as the li braries, the deaf and dumb, and blind institutions, &c. On ar riving in the canton of Zurich, in 1823, he dropped the name of Naters, and took that of Van Mater. In Novem- - her, 1828, however, he addressed a letter to the Govern ment, in which he declared that his real name was not Jacob Van Mater, but Thomas Naters, and expressed a desire that the identity of those two names should be recognized by the authorities of the country in which he had fixed his residence. This demand was readily assented to, and the Government, to recompense his unbounded charity, conferred on him, by a very flattering letter, dated the 19th of March, 1831, the right of naturalization, with all the privileges and immunities arising out of it. Naters received with pleasure this mark of esteem, and testified his gratitude to the Executive Council by gifts still more considerable. On the other hand, the authorities of the district of Goldenberg, not to remain behind the Government in that respect, offered M. Naters the right of citizenship, which he declined accepting. The year following he, for the first and only time, quitted his country seat of Goldenberg, and undertook a journey to Havre. Before his departure, he carefully burnt, in presence of two witnesses, the draught of a codicil. Whilst in Havre he sent to Goldenberg for his American will, but it does not appear that he made any al teration in it ; and, on his return to Switzerland, in 1833, he concealed it in a portmanteau, locked up in a closet next to his bed-room, into which he allowed nobody to en ter. A few days after his death the authorities, in taking an inventory of his property, discovered the will in that room. It was read on the 28th of October, 1836, before twelve witnesses, and the moment official intelligence of his death reached England, the duplicate thereof was opened with the usual formalities, when it was discovered that he had constituted Mr. William Mather his universal legatee. The number of bathers in Baden (Argau) is so consi derable this year that all the hotels are full. Between the 31st of May and the 4th of August, 8,623 persons visited the baths, and 168 more arrived there on the sth. THE FAIR SEX AT CONSTANTI- NOPLE CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 26.—The following ordinance, relative to the conduct of Turkish women in the streets and in the public promenades, was published on the 18th of July : "'Though his Highness our Most Gracious Sovereign, in consequence of his natural clemency and kind feelings to wards the people, gives his attention to the tranquillity and satisfaction of his subjects, and to afford to all, especially the inhabitants of this capital, all decent amusements and the diversions which they find in the fine season in the public promenades, it has, however, been noticed by his Majesty, that women remain too long in most of the pro menades, and do not return home till the time of the even ing prayer, or later ; that in most of the promenades they walk about and sit intermingled with the men ; and, lastly, that they have in their service Harem Hrabadshi (harem coachmen) who presume to dress in a manner not permitted to the Rajas. " Now all those things are no less contrary to the will of his Highness than to the sentiments of all Mus sulmen, it is ❑ecessary that these scandalous abuses should be done away with ; that is to say, that henceforth every one is to walk in a decorous manner ; that the women are not to walk about in the promenades mingled with the men ; that they are to go home from the promenade at the latest of half-past ten o'clock (an hour and a half before tun-set); lastly, that they shall have in their service hones t people, and no such Arahidshis as dress in a manner unbe coming Rajas. Further, though his Excellency the Se raskier, conformably with the duties of uir office, is con stontly intent on securing public order, by maintaining the ptetepts of religion, and preserving the people from injury and misfortunes, by preventing all improper actions, which are displeasing to God, yet for some time past the ancient ordinances relative to tradespeople in the necessary inter course with the women have been neglected ; and it is ob served that in particular the dealers in cutlery, the woollen drapers, and apothecaries employ their sons or young men, who wear Fez turbans or kalpaks as shoptnen, and that the latter deal with the women, that most of them have their magazines and apartments in the back part of their shops, and that the women go into them and make purchases ; lastly, that the women even presume to enter the coffee houses in Pera and Galata, and there to eat ices ; daily to regulate these matters, and as it was formerly prescribed that the tradespeople with whom the women deal must be especially honest persons, it is necessary that these trades men should disharge all the above youths, whether Arme dans, Greeks, Catholic, Jews, or of any other nation, and if they want shopmen employ only sober and elderly persons like themselves.; that the women shall not go into the in ' side of the sitting room and shops, but only converse from the outside ; that they shall not enter the apothecaries' shops, but deliver the prescriptions on the outside, and so receive their medicines ; lastly, that no woman be hence forth yen in a coffee-house. His Highness has accordingly been graciously pleased to direct the preceding ordinance to be published and strictly observed, and every person so transgressing it to be immediately and severely punished." The Bills of mortality announce an increase of burials upon the past week of 114. The unhappy Swur Therese was convicted of having staid away under false pretences, and moreover confessed that she had so tar forgotten her profession, as to allow her patient to address her in the language of a lover. Her punishment was dreadful. She was taken back to the con vent and dedrived of food for several days. Then, after be ing severely scourged with rods, her nun's habit was stripped off her, and with nothing on but a sheet to protect her from the inclemency of the weather, she was turned out of the convent at midnight, and left in the street. Poor Therese was Aver beard of more. It is thought that the disgrace of her expulsion, added to ali that she had suf fered, so affected her mint!, that she either died of the con segences, or put an end to herself.—A Summer in Germany . A mutual passion had been formed between a young, clerk of Paris and Madame B—, a married lady, resid ing near St. Germain, who, though approaching the age of 40, was still handsome. The clerk, a few mornings back, paid a visit to the lady, and informed her that he was about to travel for ten months, but was resolved not to go with out her ; and, on her objecting to elope with him, declared that if by five in the afternoon he did not receive from her a promise to accompany him, he would coma again to the house, and, if certain signals were not answered, he would ring the bell. Should this bring her husband to the door, the clerk assured her that he would first shoot hint, and then destroy himself. Madame B—, though under the greatest agony during the day, remained firm to her re:o lution. The appointed hour arrived, the signals were made, and, being unswercd, the bell was rung with great violence. M. B— rose to go to the door, but his wife threw her self at his feet, and entreated him not to stir ; but he brok: from her, and had his hand on the lock, when the report of a pistol was heard. On opening the door, M. B stumbled over a dead body, the head of which, split by the contents of the pistol, was lying on the step. On seeing this horrible spectacle, Madame B---, who had followed her husband to the door, fell dead at his feet.—E . enehl?aper. Last night, about half past eight o'clock, as a boat containing six persons was proceeding down the river, it ran against the piles at the third arch of Bliekfriars-bridge, and was instantly upset. Boats put off fro:n the shore and succeeded in rescuing five persons ; but a child fell from its father's arms just as the boat reached him, and was unfor tunately drowned. It is said that a man was drowned at the bridge about seven o'clock in the morning. How long is the bridge to continue in - its present dangerous state ? Scarcely a day passes without some fatal accident occurring.
