OCTOBER 5 1837 Lr another part of The Sun of this day will he found some interesting particulars relative to the QUEEN'S visit to Brighton. It ha. been our duty for some time past to give accounts of public meetings and dinners. where party spirit—quite a :natter of course on such occasions—prevailed to a considerable extent ; but in the instance of this great gatherin2; of multitudes, hut one seutiment prevailed—namely, that of enthusiastic loyalty. Tory, Whig, and Radical vied with each other in the ci,::monstrations of their ardent attachment to our " youthful QUEEN." The scene by all aconots must have been an extremt!ly imposing one, for the day was propitious, and the crowd; of people were enor mous, amounting, it is said, to nearly a hundred thousand. We have heard that the present is her MAJgSTY'S first visit to Brighton. Sure we :'re that , it will not be her last ; and sure also are we, that she will never enter it under more auspicious circumstances. The City of London has given another practical proof of the absence of all sectarian bigotry among the great body of the wealthy and intelligent citi zens of the metropolis, by the election of Mr. MOSES MONTEFIORE—a professed Jew—to the honoura ble and important office of Sheriff of London and Middlesex. It is by such appointments as this that the ignorant must be convinced of the folly and the wickedness of the prejudices so long and unjustly maintained against the professors of the Jewish religion. The nomination of the Jews to offices of honour and trust in the City of London will be at tended with two important advantages, namely— it will prove that the Reform body are sincere in their professions of universal toleration ; and it will afford the members of the Jewish body signal opportunities of manifesting their worthiness of being placed on a footing of perfect equality with the rest of their fellow-subjects. It cannot be de nied, that the man who is fit to discharge faithfully and impartially the duties of Sheriff of London and Middlesex is, as far as regards religious sentiments, perfectly qualified to represent either London or Mid dlesex in the Commons' House of Parliament. We therefore hail the election of Jews to the office of She riff as a positively preliminary step to their election to seats in the House of Commons, should the House of Lords continue to render such a step necessary to the passing of th• bill for their °emancipation. Our report of the speeches delivered at the Sheriffs' ;. 1 1- auguration dinner well displays the feeling at present abroad on the subject of granting equal rights to the members of the Jewish as well as every other religion. We direct the attention of our readers to an abstract of the speeches delivered at a public, entertainment given by the enlightened Reformers of Stockport to Mr. Alderman BROWN, on the occasion of presenting him with two pieces of plate, in testimony of the high estimation in which his fellow townsmen held his exertions to overthrow Toryism in that ancient borough. The perfect unanimity with which the several gentlemen, who addressed the meeting, recom mended a cordial support of her MAJESTY'S present Government, calls for our marked, and entire appro bation. It was well observed by Mr. MARSLAND, the liberal representative of the Borough, that the strength of the Reformers consists in their Union—in their forgetfulness of all petty differences of opinion —in their merging of all personal jealousies in the great struggle for the obtaining of justice for Ireland—for the empire. The speech of the Hon. Member for Waterford, Mr. WYSE, who attended the meeting, and was received with shouts of applause by the honest Radicals of Stockport, eloquently illustrates the great advantages of a general system of na tional education. No man in the British empire has laboured more assiduously to promote the education of the humbler classes than has the Hon. Member for Waterford. It was he who concocted the plan of Irish education adopted by Lord STANLEY, when Secretary for Ireland. The Government Bill for the general education of the poor of Ireland was no more than a transcript of a Bill previously submitted to it by the Hon. Gentleman. His opinions, therefore, on the subject of national education are entitled to great respect. But perhaps the most important speech de livered in the course of the evening was one by Mr. JAMES COPPOCK, Secretary of the Reform A ssocia• tion, on the necessity of increasea activity on the part of the Reform body. " Years of per secution and plunder," he observed, " had made the Tories adepts in the arts . of bribery and corruption. Almost every Lord Lieutenant was Tory —every Magistrate Tory—from the Judicial Bench to the beadle of the Court Leer, every office was filled by Tories. The subalterns too, in every Government office were Tories, and with the tactics j THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDA Y, OCTOBER 5, 1837. which office had taught them—the power which thd possession of every post of honour gave them—the whole faction as one man entered on the labour of making the Reform Bill a dead letter, and useless to the cause of good Government. They had likewise the Clergy of the country, almost to a man, forsaking their sacred functions to co-operate in cheating the people of the fruits of the Reform Bill. He had seen the progress of corruption and trickery in the counties, and was prepared to say that the majo rity of the Members did not represent the in telligence • and honesty of the country." But though the last election was not so favourable to the Reform cause as the advocates of that cause had anticipated, Mr. COPPOCK laughed to scorn the idea of a Tory Administration ousting the MELBOURNE Cabinet. We are ourselves not less confident in the stability of the Whigs in office, pro. vided they adopt a bold and decisive policy on the first meeting of Parliament. To assume a manly, straight forward course, is the way to ensure the confidence, and obtain the support, of the country. This is a truth which recent events have strongly impressed on the minds of a majority of the present Cabinet ; and from what we can learn of their intentions, they are preparing to profit by it. In the meantime, let the example of the Reformers of Stockport be generally followed, and everywhere preparation made for what ever may happen. If the people be but true to them selves, they must triumph, despite of the bribery and treachery of any faction. Letters and Papers from Madrid of the 25th ult. have reached us. The elections of Deputies for the capital were then proceeding in favour of the supporters of the Constitution of 1837. In the sitting of the Cortes of the 23d, the Minister of War informed the Chamber that he would shortly be prepared to submit to the Deputies the whole of the correspondence that passed between the Government and her MAJESTY'S Generals. The Chamber, he said, had so decided, and Ministers considered it their titly to respect its decision. The Government had been accused of having abandoned Castile to the rebels. He protested the charge was most unfounded. Necessity had compelled Ministers to give a preference to one pa; t of the king dom, and they had preferred the safety of the capital. Their success would disconcert the Great Northern Powers, who were eagerly awaiting despatches from the Pretender, dated from Madrid. Don CA Rrns had now betaken himself to flight, so that by following the course which they had done, Ministers had avoided compromising the safety of the natio*. As for Gene ral ESPINOSA, he would be brought to trial, and if found guilty, would be punished with the utmost rigour. It was likewise intimated to the Cortes, that as mildness had failed to restrain the disposition to rebel, manifested in districts penetreed by the Carlists, in future, the severest 'penalties would be rigorously enforced, and that punishment would be inflicted on all who had not done their duty during the occupation of Soria by the rebels! The following despatch from General ORAA has been received by the Madrid Government : " Head quarters, Cuenca, Sept. 22. " The troops under my command had not ceased for twenty diks to make painful marches, when, owing to the Count de Luchana's victory, we were „enabled to obtain over the rehels the advantages I have reported to your Ex cellency. Though the crossing of the Teens yesterday considerably retarded my march I was able to overtake the enemy's rear-guard and make fifty prisoners, " This morning, on leaving Huete, I placed in my van four squadrons under Brigadier Amor, with three companies of Chasseurs, and I ordered General Froilan Mendez Vigo, the chief of my staff, and all the adjutants, to move on at the head of the column. We have been able to overtake the rebels, whose forces consisted of eleven battalions and five squadrons, under the chiefs Cabrera, Suez, Zavala, and Foreadell. On arriving at the village of Arens de la Can ters, the squadrons del Ray, de la Reyna, and the 6th Light Infantry, headed by Brigadier Amor, charged, defeated, and completely dispersed the enemy, killing 40 men, and cap turing 89€, including 25 officers. These prisoners, added to those made before, form a total of 1,200 men. NVe have had but one killed and twelve wounded. " The remainder of the enemy's forces have been indebted for their safety to the absence of the infantry, which had not been able to follow the cavalry. lam pursuing them with out ceasing, allowing the troops but time enough to take their rations. I shall deposit here the prisoners wounded, the arms, aad all the articles that I have captured. The en thusiasm and severe discipline of the troops are above all praise. " MARCELLINA ORAA. " To the War Minister." The following extract of a letter from the Spanish capital, dated the 24th ult., is not calculated to inspire the partizans of the Pretender with hopes of his speedy assumption of the regal government of Spain : " Don Carlos passed the night of the 21st in the moun tains of Guadalaxara, where his life is said to have been in danger from a revolt amongst his soldiers. Oa the 22d, after promising the Navarrese to conduct them to their homes, he marched on, and halted for the night at Alcolea. Espartero's vanguard was then at Almodrones, upwards of six leagm..* from Don Carlos, and in advance of him towards the right, so as to be able to cut off his retreat. On the morning of the 23d Don Carlos descended the Henarea, directing his course with the utmost expedition towards Atienza, whilst Espartesro marched on Siguenza to arrive there before the Carlists ; but it appears that a counter march across the passes of Bigarralva enabled the troops of Don Carlos to throw themselves into Arragon, though on what point was not exactly known, but it was believed that both the Carlists and the Queen's troops had penetrated into the province by Campillo. The National Guards of Madrid had entered the capital with 2.50 prisoners, taken in the engagement of the 19th, and amongst them a Brigadier General and a Count, both of whom were slightly wounded. spartero's successes, Oraa's sudden attack upon Cabrera, an d the desperate state of the army of Don Carlos on its re treat, bad produced an offer of all the pecuniary resources required for the payment of the Queen's troops." The news of the defeat of ZARIATEGUL at Valla dolid is confirmscid in every particular. The Spanish Government has yielded to Lord JOHN HAY on the question of the reu:oval of five battalions from San Se bastian to Burgos. We have no other news from Spain, with the ex ception of what may b gleaned from the follovvii7s, official paragraph, which ypears in the Madrid Ga zette of the 24th ult.:— " The General-in-Chief of the combined armies, Count de Luchana, writes on the 22d, from the euvirons of Cifuentes that in the morning he left Fuentes for lik . L7huega. The Pretender had left the last-named place the day before, at seven m.p., for Cifuentes, continuing his flight by Oe Can redondo road, in order to take afterwards the road to Mo lina. The Count de Luchana was pursuing the enemy•, taking prisoners and horses. " The General-in-Chief writes from Fuentes on the 22d, at eight p.m., that the faction has taken the road to Torre Cuadrada ; he thinks that it wishss to pass by Alcolea del Pinar, in order to enter Castillo by Medina Celi, or Si guenza. _ " The General-in-Chief was to march at three in the morn ing in order to reach Alcolea in time." The whole of the Paris Papers of Tuesday have been duly received. On Monday there was a meeting of the friends and shareholders of M. LATITTE'S new Bank, at which the founder delivered an able and elo quent address, setting forth the success of the Institu tion, and'pointing out the manner in which it would be carried on so as to benefit France. His Royal High ness the Duke of ORLEANS has already recommended it to the patronage of the army. The following remarkable , letter from MODENA, dated the 17th ult., appears in two of the French Jour nals of Tuesday : The Duko of Modena has at length discovered that he has b.-en deceived by his Minister of Police. This Ma gistrate, in order to wreak his vengeance upon certain indi viduals, has made his Sovereign believe in the existence of a conspiracy against his life. Under this impression, his Highness caused several of his subjects to be arrested, and brouzht to trial ; and has thus involuntarily sanctioned sentences of death against innocent persons. After making this discovery, the Duke was for a long time undetermined as to the steps he should take. It became necessary to restore to liberty men con demned to the galleys, for no other crime than that of not having pleased the Knister of Police. His llighnesa vvas unwilling to expose the deception that had been put upon him, and therefore on the 19th of August issued an ordonnance, by which, while he showed his cle mency towards a few persons involved in the political dis turbances of 1831, he ordered the discharge of the innocent persons In question, subjecting them nevertheless to banish ment for various terms. Depositions have been taken from these unfortunate men, whence it results that the conspiracy of Chevalier Joseph Ricci, who was shot in 1832, was en tirely fictitious, as well as that for which the Professor Jacopo Mattioli Bertachini was condemned to death in 1834 ; and that the sentences pronounced in 1835 against Poli, ex-Director of Police, Ferrari the physician, Malvolti, Gianetti, Emilius Ferrari, Pezzini, Dr. Joseph Nfittioli, Magagui, Count Louis Cassoli, Tamburini, Guidotti, Luc chi, Piccaglia, Simonetti, Carpi, and Count Francisco Gui delli, were all founded upon false testimony. We are hourly expecting the dismissal of the Minister, the Director of the Police, and the gaoler, who are the principal, and, perhaps, the sole authors of so many iniquities, for the purpose of satiating their private hatred, and for keeping the Duke in a continual state of alarm, in order to maintain themselves in power." It is all very well now to cast the blame of so many foul judicial murders upon a Minister and a Directcr of Police ; but unless they are both brought to trial and hanged, Europe will not acquit the Sovereign of a participation in their atrocious guilt. It is well known throughout Europe that the reigning Duke of MODENA considers death but a slight punishment for the expres sion of a liberal opinion, and he is a man of too inqui sitive habits to be presumed ignorant of the judicial government of even his vast dominions. Were justice to triumph his subjects would depose him, and hang his Ministers. On the 29th the Swiss Diet closed its sittings. The motion made . by Basle relative to the representa tions of the King of HA NOVER respecting conspiracies for his assassination, supposed to have originated with certain Republican Societies resident in Switzerland, was lost by an immense majority. Scarcely a 'Wernher of the Diet abstained from denouncing the story of the plot a ITanoverian fiction, and the post-marks of the Swiss towns arrant forgeries. Poor ERNEST must have made a bungling job of it. We have no other news of any interest in the Paris Journals. The several members of the Royal Family are in good health. The marriage of Duke ALEX ANDER of Wurtemberg and the Princess MARY is postponed till the 14th instant. FitENCII FUNDS OcT. 2. five per Cents., 10Sf. 45c. 40c. 50c. Four per Cents., iool.

According to a letter from Switzerland, in the Cour rier Francais, Prince Louis Buonaparte, who remains at Arenenberg, has received from the Grand Duke of ifiden a formal notice not to set foot within the Grand Duchy, nor even to pass through the town of Constance. Thomas Norton, the man who has been in custody some days on suspicion of having been concerned in the incendiary conflagration at Chalk, near Gravesend, was yes terday brought before the Magistrates, and discharged on his own recognizance. Yesterday a general muster took place of such of the police of the G division as were not on duty, in order to present a testimonial of their respect to William Grove, late a Sergeant and Deputy Inspector in that division. The Worship-street Magistrates lately chose him in preference to many competitors to supply a vacancy in that estab lishment, and yesterday his former comrades of the G division presented him with an exceedingly handsome silver staff, with sculptured ivory handle, and an inscrip tion on it, expressive of the high estimation in which they had held him. MURDERS.-At the Glasgow Assizes last week, Ann Semple was charged with the murder of her own daughter, by drowning her. The evidence against her was conclusive, and she was sentenced to be executed on the 18th inst.—At the same Assizes, William Perrie was in dicted for the murder of his wife, Mary Mitchell. After a short trial, the Jury found the prisoner Guilty ; and sen tence of death was pronounced—to be carried into execu tion at Paisley on the 18th of October. The North London School of Medicine and Sur gery was opened on Tuesday in Charlotte-street, Blooms bury. Mr. Lucas, Professor of Surgery and Anatomy, delivered an introductory address, in which he strongly ad vocated the necessity of studying both branches of the science of medicine conjointly, and condemned in as strong terms all attempts to separate them from one another. 'the address was clear, forcible, and in general elegant ; tie audience were numerous and respectable ; and the speaker was much applauded at its conclusion On Monday last, a gentleman named Perkins, re siding in Church-street, Paddington, went to the Bank for the purpose of receiving cash for a check of 3001. He received 250/. in Bank of England notes and 501. in so v'7reigns. He placed the notes in his pocket-book, and after railing at several places he took a cab, and proceeded homeward; where he arrived, discharged the cab, and went to deposit tlifl cash in his bureau ; but 10, on feeling his pocket the book rontaining the notes was gone. He then recollected that, whilst drawing out his pocket handkerchief in the cab, he had withdrawn the pocket-book, which, being bulky, had prevented his getting at the handkerchief, and he at once concluded that he had left it in the cab. He was ignorant of the number of the vehicle, but immediately posted off to the nearest coach-stand in Quebec-street, where the first interesting object that met his sight was the identical cab, into which he instantly sprung, with an eagerness that' attracted the attention of the bystanders, and to his great satisfaction discovered his pocket-book lying on the seat with its contents quite safe. On Monday last, as Me. Glenister, of Buckland comtnon, near St. Leonard's, Weudover, Bucks, was placing a loaded fowling-piece in a chaise with other things, he in cautiously held it by the muzzle, when the trigger having, it is supposed, been caught by something which forced down the hammer, it discharged the contents into the unfortunate man's abdomen, and although surgical aid was soon obtained, nothing could save him ; he sunk under it in two hours. It is with deep regret that we have to record the death of Patrick Stuart, Esti., Assistant-Surgeon of the °Mb Regiment, which took place at Baroda on the Ist of May last, under the most melancholy circumstances. Dr. Stuart was the sixth and younger son of the la. e Mr. John Stuart, 13alvenie Castle, Banffshire ; and was, unhappily, cut off at the early age of thirty-one. Dr. Stuart had gone out tiger-shooting to a place called Nulla. After . shooting a young one (and a long interval elapsed without his .seeing any more) he handed over his gun to one of the bearers ; shi:rtly subsequent to ivhich. a tigress suddenly sprung upon him while lie was walking upon the banks of the Nulla, pulled him down, and did not quit him until she hail bitten him in four different places in the left shoulder most st verely, besides inflicting wounds on his back, and in his right s ide. When ho was brought into camp, severely it ounded as he was, no apprehension appeared to be entertained of his being in a dangerous way ; and, until next morning, he was to all appearances doing well. After ten next morning, however, he was suddenly taken ill ; when Dr. Caskill was sent for, who administered a composing draught to him, but which proved of no avail.—Elgin Courant. INSOLVENT COUR T.-(THIS DAY.) Before the CHIEF Com/bussloxEa and Mr. Commissioner HARRIS.) IN THE MATTER OF HENRICK KLRINIMAN, AN INSOLVENT. Mr. COOKE applied on behalf of the insolvent in this case, who is a Prussian Jew, and has been in prison for a considerable time, that a day might be appointed for his coming up to receive the judgment of the Court. The in solvent had been a general merchant at Breslau, in Prussia, which he left suddenly, taking with him as it was asserted a considerable sum of money. He was traced to England by his creditors, and arrested in London. He had been brought up several times before the Court, but was each time opposed by his creditors for the purpose of ascertaining whether he had concealed any of his property. Proceedings had been taken against him in Prussia, during which it was asserted that the insolvent had concealed his account-books ; but the insolvent upon being closely questioned on this point the last time he was before the Court, declared that he had not. The Court, however, was not satisfied, and adjourned the case for further evi dence. Since that period the books had been discovered in Breslau, and under these circumstances the Court would appoint a day to adjudicate upon the case. The COURT said it would appoint an early day for giving judgment. COLLUSIVE ARRESTS.—An insolvent named Clark, whose case we recorded yesterday, has been discharged ; the de taining creditor, a person of the name of Glasse, who was asked to produce the I. 0. U., he alleged he had received from the insolvent for the debt, not having done so, but pre ferring to send the insolvent his discharge. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, OCT. s.—Wind W. S.

This Review is a 'great favourite with us, for it is temperate and liberal in its tone ; devoid of anything like an mlusive spirit ; and appeals to the public, rather than to the coteries. The Number before us is the best that las• yet appeared. It contains not less than ten articles, all of which are well selected. The first on "Bancroft's History of America," gives an enter taining account of the founding of some of the more important English transatlantic colonies, such as Bal timore, 'Virginia, New England, and Maryland. In the time of. Elizabeth, it is well known that there was a rage for American expeditions, which even blinded the acute judgment of the virgin Queen herself, who—ob serves the Reviewer--" was at one time persuaded that she was to gather immense returns of gold from the southern coast of North America; at another, she be lieved that the discovery of a north-western passage would enable her ships to penetrate to the fabled riches of Cathay ; and again she was absurd enough to hope - for the discovery of mines of incalculable splendour amidst the regions of eternal ice." Among the num ber of those who distinguished themselves in the co lonies of the New World, was Roger Williams, a young Puritan, thirty years of age, who having been persecuted in the mother-country, for conscience' sake, emigrated to Boston, where, amidst all the obloquy to which he was exposed, and the difficulties with which he was surrounded, he, at the close of a long life, succeeded in establishing throughout New England, that doctrine of perfect equality, the " application of which has given religious peace to the American con tinent." This Williams was a man who is not as much known as he ought to be. He was remarkable for his moral and physical intrepidity, his inflexible perseve rance, and his determination to give no quarter to intolerance. His character combined enthusiasm with sagacity to a degree not often met with in the same individual, and he abounded in generosity. Alluding to this last trait, the Reviewer sa) s • " There is no more touching trait about the character of Williams than his conduct towards his persecutors. He was the person to inform them of a deep laid conspiracy of all the Indian tribes to destroy the settlement of Massa chussets by the massacre of the whole of the inhabitants, and they appealed to him to use his well-earned influe❑ce with the Indians to break up the dangerous alliance. To accomplish this task, he exposed himself to the risk of a horrible death, and the solitary journey through the villages of the infuriated Indians, by which he succeeded in dissolving the formidable conspiracy, is recorded as the most intrepid and skilful achievement in the whole Pequod war. His life was one continued proof of the value of the principles he so undauntedly proclaimed and practised, and which he lived to see etnipletely triumphant. He was chosen by the co lony to proceed to England on a mission to the Parliament to solicit the protection of the mother country and a char ter. His mission was successful, and Rhode Island is in debted to the Long Parliament, and more especially to the good offices of the younger Vane for its existence as a po litical state." " Projected Poor Law" urges the introduction of such a measure into Ireland, and reasons upon the subject with much acuteness. In this article there is an ably drawn portrait of the Irish peasant, which we subjoin ; for we think it far more true to life than those showy, flippant sketches contained in Sir Jonah Barrington's history. "The character of the Irish peasant exhibits peculiari ties not less paradoxical. He is easily excited, and easily depressed ; laborious without being industrious ; ardent, without being persevering ; active, yet indolent ; instinc tively shrewd, yet habitually indiscreet ; good-natured, yet quarrelsome ; in professions far outstipping his perform ance, and yet without had faith ; with little knowledge, and much acuteness ; he is proverbially generous, improvident, and brave. It is the axe of die Irish back-woodsman that has opened so many fertile distriCts of America to the plough-share ; amid the laborious inhabitants of busy Eng land the work requiring the greatest exertion of human la. hour, and the largest amount of physical endurance, falls to his share ; wherever enterprise has penetrated, there he is to be found foremost in the work of toil or in the path of danger ; it is only at home that he is inert ; the land of his birth dooms him to destitution or exile." In the " State of the Jews in Poland," we find se veral curious details respecting the manners and cus toms of that extraordinary people, who, when the rest of Europe was daily subjecting them to the most re morseless persecutions, enjoyed comparative freedom in Poland. The most valuable privileges were conferred on them by the well-known :Casimir, surnamed the Great, one of the most enlightened Princes of his day, chiefly, it is said, at the instigation of Esther, a beauti ful Jewess, to whom he had formed a sincere attachment, and by whom he had two sons and several daughters, all of whom he permitted to follow the creed of their mo ther. If we remember rightly—for we have not the volume by us to refer to—Mr. Fletcher gives a brief but animated biographical sketch of Ether, in his his tory of Poland. In the introductory portion of his article, the Reviewer observes, " the Jewish nations present a most interesting subject for the meditation of a serious mind ; a helpless race of men, whom all na tions have endeavoured to exterminate, subsisting du ring ages of unrelenting persecution ; separated by a wonderful destiny from the general mass of mankind. The Jews are a living and continued miracle—and their exemption from the common fate of na tions affords the strongest evidence to the truth of the sacred Scriptures." When things can be ex plained in a natural way, we dislike to see them re ferred to supernatural causes. There is nothing mira culous in the isolated condition of the Jews, for it is the necessary result of the intermixture of their civil with their religious polity. Their peculiar observances, which it was a sin against God, as well as a crime against man, to violate, prevented them from amalga mating with other nations, and so kept them a broadly marked, distinct class by themselves. German and French Fiction" is a light, amusing essay on a trite theme. But why does the Reviewer assert that " prior to the French Revolution the reading public of the former country delighted in moral tales ?" The reverse is the fact. The fictitious writings of that day were of the most exceptionable character possible, li centious in morals, and inculcating scepticism in reli gion. Witness the " Candide" and" L'lngenu" of Voltaire ; the false sentiment of the " Nouvelle Eloise ;" the obscenities of " Faublas," and " My Uncle Thomas;" and the deistical tendencies of " James the Fatalist." Of the merits of the cursory criticism on Goethe we cannot speak with any confidence, for we know little of him but his " Faust," of which no translation—not even Shelley's splendid fragmeut— . can convey an adequate idea ; and of his " Wilhelm Meister," the reading of which we gave up in despair, for we could make neither head nor tail of its constant metaphysical subtleties. " Trade with Turkey" is an admirable statistical disquisition, and more interesting than we ever thought such an essay could have been made. Its object is to recommend the cultivation of a strict, friendlycommercial intercourse with the Turks, for which purpose the Reviewer gives a multitude of • documents, all of which tend to show the great ad- , vantages that would attend such an intercourse. The subjoined extract is worth attention ; " The proportion of British produce and manufactures sent to Turkey, is one twenty-fifth of the whole quantity exported. It is one fifth of that sent to the United States of America, one-half of that to Germany, four-fifths of that to Hovland, Italy, and the Brazils respectively ; it exceeds by one third the exports to Portugal and France, the whole to Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Prussia and Spain together ; it equals the amount to Russia, and nearly that to our North American colonies ; it falls short little more than one-third of the exports to our West and East Indian possessions, anti is double the amount to China by the returns for 1835, estimating the trade to Turkey at. its true amount. It is now principally carried on by the native merchants there, and their commission houses or partners in England, and shared with English houses. Close attention to the wants of the market, a proper selee - • - tton of goods ; pr"mptnes in the execution of n r ders, perfect confidence between principal and agents are.th,i great requisiqs for success. When these are combined considerable and r egu l ar p ro fit s are usually made, notwith standing a vicious currency which the Porte has yet to re-_ form. The rarity of l osses f rom b a d debts or violen t local fluctuations of price is owing chiefly to the absence of spe culative demand. Real t r a nsac ti o ns employ capital suffi ciently, and interest is high, the usage being one per coot' per month, sometimes more for short terms, and ten Per cent. per annum may be obtained with the best security. No temptations consequently exist for mere gambling sPecula tions, and the market doe s n o t g roan under a load of g oods poured in without regard to the consumption from some mere casual advance in th e p r i ce . The natural variations in supply and demand afford sufficient scope for the exercise of superior activity and intelligence, and only a decline on the cost of production causes heavy losses on goods, ilke. The Reviewer states that " the origin of our trade with Turkey is but of recent date, as previous to the last war between England and the Porte, in 1807, but two or three of our vessels annually proceeded to Con stantinople with assorted cargoe , ." Surely he is mis taken here. A hundred years ago, at least, the Turkey merchants were notorious in London for their number and exorbitant wealth, which fact gave rise to Horne Tooke's admirable witticism, who when asked- - he was a boy at Eton then—by some aristocratic school fellows what trade or profession his father, who was a poulterer, followed, replied that he was a Turkey met" chant—a reply which wag allowed to constitute bin' a most respectable member of soclet-. The anecdote may be found in Stephens's Life of the Brentford Parson. Of the remaining articles tha best is the notice of " Charles Lamb',4 L2tiers.” TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 13.-A great crowd was yes terday created in the diplomatic circles of Constantinop le by the sudden intelligence of the dismissal of Perteff Pacha from his office as Minister of the Interior, and also of his brother, Emir Effendi, from the post he held in the Ord nance Detartment, and of the appointment in the place of the former of Hadji Hakif Effendi, the ex-Reis Effendi. The circumstances which have led his Highness to the adoption of this hasty measure are yet untirely unknown ; it wi ll, . however, be a piece of news but little gr a t e ful to the ears Lord Ponsonby, not only in that Perteff Pasha was of all the ministers the one who most supported British influenc e ' here, but also that Hakif Effendi, having been the individ ual whose dismissal his Lordship so positively insisted on on account of the Churchill affair, will of course now in 105 turn do all in his power to oppose the views of his Lord ship. In the official announcement of Hakif Effendis dismissal in the Ottoman Gazette at the time, the reason assignej was his being unable to attend to his duties on account of ill-health, which being, as is stated now, re-esta blished, his Highness has thought p ro p er aga in to rec all him to his favour. Should this t urn ou t t o b e a Russia n intrigue, which it doubtless is, hi s I m p er i a l Majesty will find that, though perhaps he may h ave go t r id of one of his most implacable enemies in Perteff Paella, he will have gained no friend to his interests in Hakif Effendi ; hi s powerful opposition to the signing of the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi is well known. It is not improbable that the old Seraskier Husreff Pasha will now again con e into offi since it has been entirely owing to the powerful influenc e of Perteff Pacha that he has hitherto been kept out of favour. The Prussian officers to whom I have alluded in former _ communications, have not bee n rece i ve d i n t o th e service, o f the Sultan, and placed on the staff of the Seraskire Pa" clia ; but no rank or command whatever has ben give n Clem. They arc, it is stated, to be paid by their 0%1 government ; but in additi on to h ouses, h orses , a' servants, with which they are supplied by the they receive each 2,000 pi as t res (20/.) a mont h f or their mess. Since th e arriv a l o f these officers Lord Ponson b Y r has been exerting hims e lf t o o b ta i n t h e emp l oyme nt , Colonel Con s idi ne , an d it i s reporte d he has so f ar suc ceeded as to have r ece i ve d a not ifi cat i on o f the S.A;itan's in tention to receive th a t o ffi cer i n t o hi s serv i ce.

The celebrated Dr. Bulard arrived here from Smyrna, by the last steamer, after haring been loaded with every ho nour the grateful inhabitants of that city could possibly heap upon him, in return for the valuable services he has rendered them. On his departure he was honoured by a salute from_ the castle, w hi c h was a l so repeated b y the sh i ps o f war of all nations in the harbour. It is his intention to enter the Greek hospital here to prosecute his inquiries into the nil' ture and causes of the plague, and he will afterwards pro ceed to Trebisond for the same purpose. The disease, however, I am h appy to say, h as now almost ent i re ly ( 1 1.1 , appeared h ere , th oug h i t st ill continues to make dreadful ravages in all parts of Roumilia. I have this moment received information that perteff Pacha left Constantinople this morning for Adrianople,' }l t : which pl ace h e h as b een b an i shed by the Sultan . cause of his dismissal is only known to his Highness 1 ,11 5 self ; but his being so hastily sent out of the capital w° es lead to th e suppos i t i on that some important disco have be en ma d e aga i nst hi m.
