HAMBURGH PAPERS. I'OPLITZ, SEPT. 27.—The Emperor of Russia arrived here yesterday, accompanied by Generals Berkendorff and Orloff, and took up his abode in the Palace on the second floor, the first being occupied by his Majesty the Emperor ?! Austria, on account of the great banquetting room. The Empress of Russia and suite, and the King of Prussia Pine . direct f rom Sil es i a. The grand fetes w ill now begin CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. S.—The remarkably distin guished reception of Prince Milosch, who may be said to hav e deprived the Sultan of Servia, or at least to have P r epared the emancipation of that country, is a great con trast to th e manner in which the Porte treats M. Togra- P l °s, Amb assa d or of Greece which is entirely independent ' ,! the Porte. The Sultan seems to intend by this to indicate grief at the loss of Greece , and the more so as during the last year a number of Greeks, his former subjects, have Placed th emselves under his protection. Not only mer chants from all parts of the new kingdom, but even Bi sh°l's, One of whom has had an audience of the Sultan and ;:inb_tained.a pension, and who formerly fanned the flames of thsarrection, have quitted their own country and implored e protection of the Porte. Of course complaints against th e present Government of Greece are not wanting ; but . truth is that the Greeks throughout Turkey are accus '2rtoed to carry on trade and commerce as a monopoly in P eference to all rival nations, and that as the Ambassador of th • eir new King has no weight here, and they are deprived of the p rotection of the other Ministers, they prefer sub mitting t o the Porte. The impression which this circum stance must make on the Porte was to be foreseen. It Protract the negotiations with Tographos as much as pos .! l e , in order to attach the principal part of the Greek nrchants to Turkey, and to attach to itself the rich 1 : antle rs. The Sultan has hitherto constantly refused to aecceive the Greek Ambassador, and the notification of the e ssien of King Otho to the Throne has not yet received lorrnal answer. End H erz, (Companion for l i kMlu tto, 2.—The Berlin Gesellsehafter fur the Mind and Heart), nitunieittes the following fact, which is, we believe, very id little 4 wa :—" In the year 1804, M. de K. conceived the re of becomi ng Ki ng o f P ers i a ;h e h a d l a t e l y marr i e d a tielrY be autiful wife, and thought of placing her on the t P h r r o o s e e e t s He applied to M.

WES Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and Princess Victoria, accompanied by his Majesty the King of the Belgians, Lady Flora Hastings, Sir John and Lady Conroy, M. Van De Weyer, &c., attended divine service at St. George's Church, Ramsgate, yes terday morniug. In the afternoon the Duke of Wel lington and the Earl of Rosslyn came over from Walmer Castle to pay their respects to the Royal party. This day, about twelve, the King and Queen of the Belgians and suite, their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and Princess Victoria and suite, drove over to Walmer Castle to visit the Duke of Wellington, and returned to Ramsgate by 5. The Royal train consisted of the King's carriage drawn by six horses, two carriages and four, and a carriage and pair. People are still busily employed in discharging the cargo of the unfortunate ship Ocean, which is sunk at the back of the pier ; her cargo is very valuable, con sisting of linen, mahogany furniture, about 30 piano fortes, German toys, musical instruments, &c., the greater part of which, from having been under water, is so much damaged, as to be now of little value; the linens, when washed, may be available, but the furni ture and musical instruments are almost entirely de stroyed or spoilt. 'We have been informed that the value of the cargo is nearly 60,0001., part of which was insured, but the ship was not underwritten. Among the passengers were two females from Ham burgh, going out with the intention of settling at New Orleans. The brie; Brooke, belonging to Liverpool, is in the harbour, having suffered damage; part of her cargo, which is valued at nearly 100,0001., is to be taken out, in order that she may be repaired. About 150 sail of v essels are in the harbour, having taken shelter during the late boisterous weather. 1,.,•,• jil Wednesday evening, Mr. Christie was enter -tled at a public dinner in the Caledonian Hall by a humber o f the members of the Political Union and other e A nd s , as a testi mon y o f their high approbation of his pub tlleduct, an d more espec i a ll y f or hi s s t ea dy a dherence to U nion, and the high honour he had conferred on that I ,,°_ Yas its Ch a i rman.

If Russia thought fit to go r w ar with England, it would be barely possible tr r her to menace our shores, by shipping ten her wenty thousand of the soldiers of this garrison on board e fleet, and to diffuse an alarm as to her capability to eP the seas to a certain extent, which are frequented by e. r merc hant s hi ps .

(FROM OUP. OWN CORRESPONDENT.) " The multitude, in a? 1 countries, are patient to a certain point. 111-usage may rouse their • indignation, and hurry them into excesses, but the original fault is i n the Government."—J umus. Never has a polhical maxim been more accurately verified, than is th( 3 above in the history of Ireland. If the people hay e been guilty of excesses in many instances, most of the former Governments of this country have not only been negligent in guarding against, but they have too frequently promoted them, by their partial pc 'hey. The system is now changed, and a brighter pro spect lies before us. Let _us hope that the experienc e of the past may guide us for the future, and that ti re legitimate power of the Constitu tion being restored 1, no faction may ever again be per mitted to usurp th ose rights which belong to the entire body of the people. The events of the last week afford a practical proof of the great chraige that has come over us. The Recorder of the City of Dublin, a man of more than ordinary tact am I intelligence, has confessed the mis prision of treaso n of which his corporate friends have been guilty, in ( )mitting their usual demonstrations of loyalty to one of the most enlightened and impartial Governors that t his country has had the happiness of being ruled by i 'or many centuries. The confession has been made in so exemplary and contrite a manner — on presenting the new Lord Mayor for his Excellency's approbation—an dit has been followed up by the party with such conciliatory advances at their festivals, and elsewhere ;ince, that little doubt is now enter tained that the t Triumph of Reform is beginning to be felt, and will b quietly submitted to, by some of its hitherto greate:s t opponents. There is, to be sure, a sanguinary imp► .acable gang, which no " signs of the times," nor se) ise of reason or justice can mitigate, still outstandin; ;. I shall advert to them by and by ; in the meantime, let us observe the symptoms of the bodless revoli ation that is being accomplished. O'Connell, - with whose achievements the world is now acquainte( h was welcomed home, after the labours of the Session, , amid the usual acclamation of a nume rous and delighted popular assemblage, who received him, on his . landing at Kingston, without a single symbol of pat tizanship. There was nothing in this circumstance very novel, or indicative of the great change wrong. ht - iu men's minds during the last six months. Mly . a meeting is to be held on Monday, which, if we may judge from the names of the requisi tionists cony( !I-ling it, will exhibit the strongest proof yet given in this country, of the utter hopelessness of Tory domin.at ion. You are aware, that notwithstand ing O'Cifone ll's great public services, he had not hitherto c onfidence and adhesion of a great many of the most wealthy, respectable, and influential Catholics of I reland, or of those Protestants called the Moderate W 'pigs. His conduct, since Sir Robert Peel's atterni it to govern the country, has, however, effected a colt. Iplete change in this respect. The power and influence which he before had over the multitude, is now extend , 3d to every rank and order of the Liberals of every cree, 1. They no longer fear the misapplica tion of his it lfluence, seeing that he has generously thrown his w eight into the scale of that truly English party, whose triumph will be a guarantee, not only for the immedia . to redress of all the people's grievances, but for the final adjustment and stability of the British Constitution and connection. It is well understood, that the un ion of sentiment prevailing between his Majesty's pr( !sent Ministers and the representatives for Ireland, on tl le leading principles of necessary Reform, is not the res: ult of any unworthy compact, promise, or concession on either side. It is simply that which common sense points c , ut to both as most expedient to promote those measure •s of universal benefit which both parties feel to be ess€ ntial to the public good. When either party recedes from the ground chalked out for them by public opinio n, the political tie, now fastened by public utility, will be dissolved. . But before that hap pens, if ever it should take place, the Reform of the Corporations : , and the other measures contemplated, will have invt ;steel the universal people with full powers for protectinc. ; their own interests. There cannot, there fore, be a gr( rater illusion than that under which those Tories lie, w ho imagine that the coalition of all the " Liberals " will cease before their object is attained, by the total ;xtinction of their adversaries' hopes and power. The meeting mentioned is for the purpose of preparing a c linner for O'Connell, in testimony of the nation's grati tulle for the judicious and patriotic aid given by hirr to the present Ministry. You may be assured, that more intelligence and property, both Pro testant and ( ,latholic, will be represented on this occa sion than ev , er was before, at an assemblage of the friends and admirers of the Liberator in this country. As to the sanguinary gang above alluded to, it is difficult to s ay by what manifestations of their down fall they cat Ibe brought to their senses. You have copied from a Morning Contemporary a letter, strongly characteristi c of the obstinacy, fatuity, and mischievous proceedings of that party. I don't know whether all that is said ( )f Mr. Brewster's ejection of his tenantry be true, as t o him; but it is applicable to a landlord in an adjac eut county, whose treatment of a solvent, respectable, Catholic tenant, as much esteemed, and as independen• t, though not possessing so large an estate in the cc ,unty, as himself, is so extraordinary, that in con ipliance with the wishes of the injured party, I forbear 2 iving it publicity at present, lest it should help to pl.( nnote a popular excitement, inconsistent with the presem t peaceable state of Ireland. And as the cause of e , pal justice, which you have so long and so effectively advocated, can best be promoted by a strict adherence to truth, I think it right to inform you, that Mr. Brew ster, however warm and zealous a supporter of Toryism he may be, is a good ;lawyer and an ho nourable • man : so much so, that many who have read the letter alluded to in your paper, are of opinion that there mu: it be other reasons than their being. Catholics for the e' jection of his tenants. It is well known, that when pr( ;dial agitation existed, a few years ago, a Mr. Watson, as I remember, brother-in-law of Mr. Brew ster, and . an active Magistrate, was threatened and per secuted i n the county of Carlow. Under the recollec tion of these facts, it is not impossible that Mr. Brewste. - .r's feelings may have prompted him to inflict injuries , on some innocent individuals, which he sup poses t .o ba the just punishment of more than suspected guilt. A short time will, no doubt, throw more light on a transaction, the details of which must be inter estir ,g to all who feel an interest in the peace and wel fare .of this country. It is not from men of Mr. B.'s int ellect and habits that the evils of Ireland have ori- ginated. The other landlord alluded to is different in this respect, and I may probably give you further in formation, respecting both cases, in a short time. COURT CIRCULAR. Baron d'Ompteda, the Hanoverian Minister, and M. de Bourqueney, the French Charge d'Affaires, visited Viscount Palmerston yesterday at the Foreign Office. Mr. Borradaile and a deputation had an interview with Lord Glenelg yesterday at the Colonial Office, on business relative to the Cape of Good Hope. The Chancellor of the Exchequer will arrive at Liverpool this day, from Weston, Chipping Norton. The Marquis of Lansdowne has arrived at Limerick. LORD DURHAM AT CONSTANTI- NOPLE. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 9.—The COUrrier Francais publishes a letter from Constantinople of Sept. 8, accordinc, to which the Sultan has given to the Earl Durham two of his principal officers, to act in the capacity of extraordinary mehmandars ; he has, moreover, sent his Lordship presents with a Hatti Scheriff,a favour which formerly was conferred on no Christian, whatever might be his rank. The Sultan has likewise ordered that, in all places which Earl Durham may wish to go to, his slightest wishes be immediately gra tified. This distinguished reception has been suggested by Russia. Count Strogonoff, Aid-de-Camp to the Emperor Nicholas, is in Greece, entrusted with negotiations relative to a matrimonial alliance, but he is hourly expected to re turn to Constantinople, where it is reported that he is to accompany the Earl of Durham to the Black Sea, in order that the English diplomatist may know and see but that which it is impossible to conceal. The letter adds that the Earl of Durham, well aware of these designs, was anxious to take a sudden departure, and was, on the 7th, reported to have actually sailed. (From the Temps of Saturday.) Our Minister for Foreign Affairs has received very re cent intelligence from Constantinople. Lord Durham was still in that capital, determined, it seems, to bring to a definitive and formal solution the question of the closing up of the Dardanelles. Meanwhile the British fleet has ap proached the entrance of the channel, not with a view to commence hostilities, for bloody conflicts are no longer to the taste of diplomacy, but to support, by the appearance and presence of considerable forces, the negotiations now going on between the Noble Lord and the Ottoman Porte. It was reported that Lord Durham had demanded of our Ambassador to join him in his application to the Divan, and that he had not met from the Admiral with that com plete adhesion which alone could impart strength and energy to his negotiation. The French Ambassador is said to have declared that he had neither mission nor powers to act in so decided a manner. . . Vv Our intercourse with Great Britain is no longer so cor dial and so warm as it was at the conclusion of the qua druple alliance. Russian intrigue has interfered ; promises, engagements and professions have been received from St. Petersburgh, and the Doctrinarian Cabinet, delighted with those advances, now co-operate but timidly with the Cabi net of London. France is no longer in Spain, or in the East, the sincere ally of England. Lord Melbourne and O'Connell frighten her ; the Juntas and M. Mendizabal's new system strike terror into the Doctrinaires, who have do other hope than in Toplitz ; that is, in the predominacy of Russian interests, and, consequently, in the secession from British policy, which was directed to crush Russian domination over the Bosphorus. This explains why the French Ambassador refused to co-operate sincerely and actively with Lord Durham. ENGLISH Or'ERA HOUSE. Wilson had his benefit last night ; and the manner in which he was received by a most crowded audience showed the high sense which the public entertained of his merits. The principal piece was Rob Roy ; and his performance of the character of the Macgregor was decidedly the best we have ever seen. His singing was admirable. In Burn's song, " A man's a man, for a' that," which he sang entirely without accompaniment, be absolutely filled the House with the volume of his rich tenor voice. The piece on the whole was well performed. Miss Somerville sang very sweetly in Diana Vernon. Williams's Baillie Jarvie is a clever performance ; but overcharged. He injures the points by making too much of them. Miss P. Horton made the little part of Mattie exceedingly pleasant by the quiet and perfectly natural manner in which she acted it. The other pieces were the interlude My Fellow Clerk, and eramond Brig ; and there was also a musical melange, con sisting of songs by the principal vocalists ; a bill of fare sufficient to satisfy the keenest appetite. ADELPHI THEATRE. Tlw Mysterious Family—such is the title of the new two-act burletta, which was last night produced at this theatre. From the beginning to the end of the perform ance, the house was in one continued roar of laughter. Mr. Tivaddledate (W. Bennett) an old gentleman, very fond of secresy and mystery, and who loves to see or to do anything out of the common way, has two daughters, Caroline (Miss Ayres) and Laura (Miss E. Clifford), and a maiden sister (Mrs. Daly). Having seen a matrimonial advertisement in the newspapers, he answers it, and finds it was inserted by one Narcissus Dajizdil (Mr. Buckstone), the son of his old friend. Liking to do things out of the common way, he determines that one of his daughters shall marry the ad vertising Adonis, whom be accordingly invites to his house to give him his choice of the ladies. The sprightliest of the two, Caroline, has a lover ; and the other, a demure, innocent girl, informs her sister that she has a husband and a little boy, having been secretly married two years si nce . The sisters accordingly resolve to put off the wooer upon their maiden aunt, an amorous romantic old dame, who is in raptures at the thought of at last securing a husband. The unhappy Narcissus is completely bothered amongst them all, and his perplexities kept the house in a continual roar : Buckstone was quite at home in the part, and seemed to play it con amore. Mrs. Keeley, in the character of Fidget, an inquisitive lady's maid, and Wilkinson, as Gre gory, an equally inquisitive man - ser vant,. contributed i n no slight degree to keep up the jolly caclunnation which re sounded from all parts of the house. Miss Ayres, in the disguise of a hot-blooded Highland youth, with a pedigree as long as that of the tocherless lass, to whom the Laird of Cockpen went a-wooing, looked most enchanting, and sung a Scotch song which was honoured with an encore. After the fall of the curtain, Buckstone stepped forward and an nounced the piece for repetition amid the unanimous ap plause of the audience. DOVER, OCT. 4.—To-morrow his Grace the Duke of Wellington entertains, at Walmer Castle, the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Duchess of Kent, and Princess Victoria ; and several of the Nobility and Gentry residing in the neighbourhood have been invited to join them at dinner. We are glad to learn that Lord John Russell has accepted an invitation to dine with the friends of Reform on the 10th of November in Bristol, when a piece of plate will be presented to his Lordship, with a suitable inscription engraved on it. Viscount Sidmouth, the Deputy Ranger of Rich mond Park, will, it is understood, perform all the active duties of that appointment during the absence of the new Ranger, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who was recently appointed to the post, vice his Royal sister the Landgravine, resigned. Duke Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg has received a communication from his brother, the Belgian King, relative to the marriage of the young Prince of Saxe Coburg with Queen Donna Maria. The Duchess of Kent is much in favour of this union. Prince Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg has received a most excellent education under Professor Dietz. He is, moreover, a Catholic ; his being brought up in that religion was one of the stipulations made at the marriage of his father.—Suabian Mercury. Prince Puckler Muskau writes on the 29th of June from Sfar, bay of Babes, that be is surrounded with ancient edifices, falling to ruins. At the foot of the mountain com mences the great desert of Zara, which the Prince is about to visit. He has a strong escort. During day , time he travels seven or eight German miles, in the shade, in a heat of thirty degrees of Reaumur. On his return to Tripoli the Prince intends repairing to Malta, where he will de cide whether he shall proceed by Egypt and Bombay to the English possessions. in India, or go by Persia..—Swabian Mercury. The Liverpool steamer arrived on Saturday, from Lisbon, with Sir John Scott Lillie, Captains Barnard Rix ton, and about twenty cabin passengers. The Liverpool towed into the port of Falmouth theilelive, a French brig, dismasted and totally disabled, having been run down in a gale of wind the preceding night by a ship unknown. The French brig would, in all probability, have been lost, had it not been for the timely assistance rendered by the Liver pool. The Hon. George Vernon brought despatches by this steamer for Lord Palmerston, from Lord Howard de Walden, and proceeded from Falmouth by the mail to London. SPANISH AUXILIARIES.—PLYNIOUTII, OCT. 2.—The fine steam-ship James Watt, arrived here on Tuesday last, but owing to the boisterous state of the wea ther, it was not un til y es t e rday that she commenced receiv ing the remaini ng p or ti on of the Queen of Spain's own Fusiliers, recruited in the West. We went on board . her in the Sound this day, and saw the offi cers and men just previous to departure, and must bear testimony to the satis faction expressed by the soldiers regarding the conduct of their superiors. Before they left the depot ashore, Major Sloane publicly asked them if there was one desirous of leaving, as he was at perfect liberty to do so. Not an indi vidual accepted the proffer. When the Major went on board, he tendered the same opportunity to the men belong ing to the Lancers shipped at Gravesend, and eighteen of them availed themselves thereof. We cannot discover the real cause of this. Some of them say they expected a bounty of five pounds instead of two pounds, the only sum offered here. Several beautiful horses are shipped from this place for the officers. The number of men embarked here is 121 Fusiliers, and at Gravesend 196 Lancers ; so that with these and their officers there are more than 400 per sons, besides the crew of the steamer. TELEGRAPH BETWEEN LONDON AND PARIS. —A line of telegraphic communication between these two cities is, we understand, in process of completion for the purpose of transmitting the prices of the Funds at periodi cal times in the different Stock Markets. Mr. Ricardo and a French gentleman are the managers of the undertaking. There are to be nine stations in England—the first in St. George's-fields, and the last at Folkestone, in Kent ; and fourteen stations from the coast to Paris. Although it is first to be confined to transmitting the prices of the funds, it is intended hereafter to apply it to the conveyance of other intelligence. The news will be conveyed from Lon don to Paris in an hour and a half. The building of Mr. Braham's Vaudeville theatre is advancing rapidly, and in the course of a few days it will be roofed. At the front in King-street, there is space of sufficient depth to erect two houses thereon, leaving a broad and convenient passage to the entrance of the theatre, if such builings should he part of the plan, or to erect a grand portico, which would have an excellent effect. We very much regret to hear that our respected county member, Philip Pusey, Esq., has met with a serious accident. A note from Lady Emily Pusey has been re ceived by Mr. F. Crowdy, of Ilsley, the secretary of the Ilsley Cottagers' Society, stating that Mr. Pusey was on his way to attend the meeting of the Society, on Wednes day last, at Ilsley, to which he is a subscriber, when his horse stepped in a rabbit's hole, and fell, by which Mr. Pusey's arm was unfortunately broken. We trust the Hon. Gentleman will soon recover from the effects of so bad an accident.—Reading Mercury. PUBLIC DINNER TO THE HON. Fox MAULE.— We understand that the public dinner at Blairgowrie to day, to the Member for the county, will be very nume rously attended, and that more than ordinary interest is attached to the entertainment, from the circumstance of Mr. Maule being the only Member of the Government who will receive a similar respect in Scotland. Perth Advertiser. The mode in which letters are carried in various countries is a subject of great curiosity. The postman who is the medium of communication between the coast of the Pacific Ocean and the Provinces which are situated on the east coast of the Andes swims for two days down the river Chamaya, and through a part of the Amazon, carrying his bag of letters wrapped about his head like a turban. There is scarcely an instance of the letters having been lost, or even wetted.—Paris Papers. The election of Mayor of Gravesend took place yes terday, and will be followed by the peculiar custom at this town, of a public breakfast being given on Sunday next, by the Mayor, to the Corporation and his friends, consisting of prime rounds of beef and suitable etcetras ; also Madeira, sherry, and port. After which his Worship and his corpo• rate brethren will proceed to church, and return to the re past after divine service. DIFFERENT OPINIONS AMONG THE REVISING BARRISTERS.—The Revising Barristers for the West Riding of Yorkshire have unanimously decided, at Leeds, that the proprietors of a freehold cemetery, on which a sum of money bad been expended (in land and buildings) more than suf ficient to yield a return (according to the ordinary interest yielded by real property) of 40s. a-year to each proprietor of a certain number of shares, were entitled to vote in re spect of the same ; whereas in Lancashire, at Manchester, and Oldham, the Revising Barristers have come to an op posite decision. Similar inconsistencies are found in the decisions concerning the ministers of chapels, trustees, &c. —Leeds Mercury. • CORK REGISTRATION.—The actual state of the registration to the close on Monday morning, was as follows : Reformers registered Rejected on the "lodger" point —363 Orangemen and Conservatives registered Rejected on the " lodger" point l9 -168 Majority for the Reformers We have much pleasure in stating, that within the last few days a communication has been addressed to the military authorities at the Horse-Guards, by the General commanding the forces in Ireland, announcing that no Orange Lodges exist in any of the regiments quartered in that country. In pursuance of the order lately issued by Lord Hill, prohibiting Orange Lodges in the army, the Commander of the Forces felt it his duty to institute a searching inquiry, with the view of ascertaining the extent to which these illegal societies existed in the regiments un der his command, and he has received the most satisfactory assurance that the individuals in the different regiments, who held warrants from the Grand Lodge, have returned them to the parties from whom they originally received them.—Observer. The Palace on the Quai d'Orsay is about to be purchased by M. Thiers, who intends, it is said, to reside there. The Palace of the son of Napolesn, the dwelling of the son of Madeline Arnie ! Oh, Fortune, these be thy farces !—Le Charivari. The General Steam Navigation Company's packet the Britannia, arrived with the mail from Rotterdam on Sunday. This superb vessel is becoming a great favourite with Continental travellers. Upwards of sixty came by her. A yearly cock-fight was, till lately, a part of the annual routine of the nprthern free schools ; part of the master's perquisites at which are still cock-pennies. LEXICOGRAPHERS.—Not one of the dictionaries for correct articulation of the English tongue has been written by a native, properly so called, but by an Irishman, a Scotchman, and a Welchman—Sheridan, Walker, and Jones. The horsechesnut trees, near the basin, in the garden of the Tuilleries, are • of great beauty, and strik ingly ornamental in this particular position. These trees, about the middle of May of the present year, were in the fulness of their bloom. One tree was markedly distin guished beyond all its• neighbours by its comparatively greater number of flowers. They were thickly studded upon every branch, and, in a great degree, obscured the foliage. The observation was made to me that this tree was of some historical interest, as connected with Napo leon's arrival in Paris (March 20) ; for, on his entry from Elba, it furnished to him and his friends foliage for their personal decoration, being the only tree then in the garden in such a forward state. It is a curious fact, that, with this invariable precocity, it should also display such a floral propensity.—Gardeners' Magazine. Commercial letters from Alexandria state the termi nation of the sales of the cotton crop of the present year. The total of the crop had been 170,000 qx, instead of 35,000 to 40,000, as announced by the agents of the Go vernment. The native merchants were ruined by the sys tem of monopoly adopted by the Government, which is per sisted in with the most determined obstinacy. As Messrs. Fletcher, Austin, Munyard, and their friends, were shooting rabbits in Abbey Wood (the two former being in advance of the others, towards the Leather Bottle inn, the rest of the party being down in the hollow), when the dogs giving tongue, they fired in that direction, and, most unhappily, Mr. Austin, who had the misfortune previously to be deprived of his sight in one eye, received a shot in the other. He immediately exclaimed, " MY God ! lam in darkness." He was taken to his home, at Bleadon Well, and at present there are not the least symp toms of a return of vision.—Greenwich Gazette. A curious incident occurred on Wednesday, pre vious to the inauguration of the new Sheriffs at the Court of Exchequer. During the counting of the nails, on Mr. Alderman Kelly being asked by the officer of the Court, " How many nails are there ?" the Alderman replied, " Sixty.' Officer—" I am sorry you cannot make more ; it is not a good service." The city functionaries appeared confounded. Mr. Baron Banks—" Count them again." Mr. Alderman Kelly was proceeding to count a second time, when the Alderman discovered that one nail had been left in the bag. " Sixty-one nails," exclaimed the Alderman. Officer—" A good s ervice."—(Laughter.) ANECDOTE.—When Hampton Court was nearly built by Cardinal NV olsey for his residence, while the work was in progress Henry VIII. never noticed the circum stance until it was nearly completed, and then, in an angry mood, meeting Wolsey, he observed, " So, Cardinal, I hear you are erecting a palace that is to surpass all the Royal palaces." Wolsey, perceiving the rising storm, coolly said, Your Majesty shows great kindness in noticing it, for it was intended, Sire, to be presented to your Majesty, if worthy of acceptance, as an humble mark of gratitude, by your humble and faithful servant." The King was ap peased, and the address and art of the ambitious Cardinal allayed the storm. The difference between an imitator and an inventor I should take to be this : an inventor contrives devices to effect purposes that either have not been effected at all, or that have not be ore been effected by means of the same .---~ kind ; an imitator tries to effect the purposes he aims at by the same means that have been formerly employed, either with as little variation as possible, or with such slight alte rations as, without making any essential deviation in point of effect, make some small alteration in form or other cir cumstances. For example, I should consider all the varie ties of the Grecian colonnade as reducible to the head of one single invention ; because every essential purpose that can be effected by any one of them can be effected in the same manner by the whole ; so that, if it could be ascer tained which of these was the original, I should call all the others only imitations of it. In like manner I should con sider the different varieties of the Gothic architecture as one invention ; because they are all adapted to produce similar effects by means that had never before been applied to such purposes ; and so on of others.—Architectural gazine, October. - - It is reported that Louis Phillippe is inclined to set at liberty Prince Polignac and his fellow-prisoners in Ham Castle. This is said to have been promised to M. Sauzet (who is named as likely also to get a seat in the Cabinet) for his so promptly undertaking to draw up the report on the Press Bill. • A rumour has just reached us of a most extensive fire last evening, at Ufton, Hants, the flames of which were seen at a great distance ; it is said that a farm and part of the church were burnt. We hear also that a farm was burnt at Down Hurstbourne, but have obtained no decisive infor mation of either.—Reading Mercury. The French papers state that Madame de Feucheres (Sophia Dawes) has left Paris, and is very seriously ill. Private accounts describe her as labouring under severe ;mental suffering. The Russian Ambassador returned yesterday from a visit to the Earl and Countess of Jersey, at Middleton Park, where a party of the corps diplomatic has been staying. The Journal de la Haye has the following :—" Our private correspondent communicates the important fact, that a Portuguese battalion, ordered to march into Spain, positively refused." The Nouvelle Minerve, after praising M. Thiers's love of the Arts, adds, that they (the Arts) are " dear to him." "No (retorts the Charivari), is it M. Thiers who is dear to the Arts." The appointment of Surveyor-General of the Duchy of Cornwall, bestowed by his Majesty on the recent va cancy on his son-in-law, Lord de l'lsle, is a very lucrative sinecure, the emolument exceeding 2,0001. per annum ; the routine functions of the post are, we believe, entrusted to his Lordship's deputy (Thomos Abbot, Esq.), who acts also as Secretary to the Lord Warden, the Marquis of Hertford. On Thursday morning Miss Elizabeth O'Callaghan, daughter of Owen C. O'Callaghan, Esq., of Limerick, re ceived the white veil in the chapel of the Presentation Con vent, in that city. A great number of the most respect able individuals were present, to witness this solemn and in teresting ceremony. The Right Rev. Dr. Kinsella, Catho lic Bishop of Ossory, delivered a suitable and eloquent dis; course on the occasion.—Dublin Freeman's Journal. A meeting of the inhabitants of Devonport was held on Friday, on the subject of applying for a charter of incor poration under the new Municipal Act, when a further adjournment took place, to allow time for au inquiry into the probable expenses. It is likely that a petition for a charter will be resolved on.—Devonport Independent. LATIN POETRY EXCELLENT PHYSIC.—By the, bye, Latin poetry seems to act most beneficially on the con stitution of its modern cultivators ; and it behoves the managers of insurance companies to look sharply after annui tants addicted to the use of the hexameter. Let them ponder over the following scale of longevity, which I submit gratis to their inspection :—Jerome Vida, wt 97 ; Sincerus Sannazar, 72 ; Jerome Fracastor, 71 ; Theodore Beza, 86 ; Jaques Vaniere, 73 ; George Buchanan, 76.—Prout Papers—Fraseris Mag. We understand that it was the intention of the mana gers of many of the schools in Newbury to commemorate the publication of the whole Bible in English, in October, 1835, by giving their children a dinner in the Market-place yesterday. After dinner it is expected they will go in a body to some place of worship, that the importance of the event commemorated may be explained to them.—Reading Mercury. CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.--It is clear that so long as corporal punishment exists, you will get a bad de scription of men ; but that if this stigma on the profession were removed, a more respectable class would enter the army. Thus a continued action and re-action is going on ; if you flog, you get bad men ; and if you get bad men, you must flog. To stop this, you must begin somewhere—you can't begin by getting better men, because better men won't enter the service as long as the practice exists ; in fact, every one knows the prejudice that exists among the lower classes against the service ; therefore the only alternative left is to abolish the system of flogging. Some inconve nience will be experienced in the transition ; but show me the change that is not liable to this objection.--Captain Illeekiston's New Work. AN OLD HEAD ON YOUNG SHOULDERS.-- - .One of the most remarkable instances of precocity, talent, and application upon record is the celebrted Archaeologist Vis conti, who died in 1818, at the age of 67. When only 18 months old he knew his alphabet ; at the age of two years could distinguish and name the busts of the Roman Empe rors, and is said to have read Greek and Latin as well as his native language before he had completed his 4th year. Yesterday muffing, about ten o'clock, the following daring robbery took place at the residence of Frederick Mullins, Esq., 47, Gloucester-place, Regent's Park. It appears that at the time above named the footman, hearing a ring at the front entrance door, went up stairs to open it, when some fellow, taking advantage of the opportunity afforded him by the pantry being thus momentarily left, ran down the area steps, and entering the apartment in ques tion, into which the door at the bottom of the said steps opened, seized four silver table spoons and two massive sil ver forks, which were lying on the table, and made a preci pitate retreat. The loss was presently afterwards disco covered, but too late, as the thief had completely effected his escape. STEAM VESSELS.—Number of steam vessels re gistered in Great Britain in July, 1835, 397 ; tonnage, 36,849. Number belonging to great Britain not registered, 84 ; tonnage unknown. Number building in Great Bri tain, 46 ; tonnage unknown. Of the registered vessels 98 belong to the port of London, 56 to Glasgow, 28 to Liver pool, 14 to Bristol, 15 to Hull, 80 to Newcastle, and 14 to Sunderland. The vessels belonging to the two latter places are all small, the tonnage of each varying from 10 to 30.

Only one-third of the officers of an Austrian regi ment ai - -e allowed to marry, and before permission is given a certain sum of money, called a caution, must be lodged with the Government, in order to provide for the widow and children in the event of the officer's death. The, officer enjoys the interest of this caution, but the principal cannot be touched. Other field officers are required to lodge a capital of 10,000 florins (1,060/.), or to mortgage property yielding 600 florins (671.) a year. The officers of lower rank must deposit a caution of 8,000 florins (8501.), or pro perty yielding 400 florins (451.) a year. Sometimes officers obtain leave to marry through personal favour with the Emperor, without depositing the usual caution—bat it often happens that in such cases, where the widows have no private fortune, that they are left destitute. The pro prietor of the regiment has a right to refuse an officer per mission to marry ; but the officer may appeal to the Aulic Council of War.— United Service Gazette. It would appear from Mr. Campbell's " Letters from the South" that Lord Exmouth's splendid victory at Algiers did not free our Consul from the observance of all the disgraceful ceremonies usually attendant on the inter ' course between the representatives of Great Britain and the Dey. The British Consul, like that of the other Christian Powers, was still obliged, whenever he came in sight of the Dey's Palace, to walk bare-headed under the hottest sun. Like all the rest, he was obliged, on reaching the Palace, to sit down on a stone bench in an open passage, where every porter could sit down beside him. He was not allowed to wear a sword in the Dey's presence, nor to ride by the Cas saba, though his own servants, if they were Mahometans, might do so. The Kabyles used to be on horseback, whilst the Christian Consuls went a-foot ; nay, even when they passed the ancient Palace of the Dey, where nobody had lived for twelve years past, they were obliged to uncover their heads as long as it pleased the Turkish soldiers, who ,were sitting before it. MILES COVERDALE.—This distinguished man was born in the reign of Henry VIII., and, being educated in the Romish religion, became an Augustine monk. When the Reformation took place, he was one of the first who embraced it, and was active and zealous in propagating its principles. At the funeral of Queen Catherine Parr (to whom he was almoner), he declared his sentiments on reli gion with a freedom which must have greatly influenced the minds of his hearers. In 1532 he published William Tyn dale's English version of the Bible, to complete which he had assisted greatly. In 1551, Edward VI. appointed him to the Bishopric of Exeter. Whe n the Romish religion was re-established he was ejected from his sec and coin- _~-s : - r ~--~" E " . Z mitted to prison ; but was permittect4me time aftei 7 C to retire into banishment. On Elirsgtlis accessio ^lie returned to his native country ; but.r fus‘ntrbe re ?tiled to his bishopric on account of conkia rottti tiplmo he terms of conformity that were then' '‘l--- , 0- . % verdale, in consequence, was neglecte co si er able time left without any provision. 'hen he became old and poor, Grindal, Bishop of London," says Strype, in his life of that Prelate, " gave him the small living of St. Magnus, at the foot of London Bridge." He died in 1567, in his 81st year. AFFAIRS or HoNoun.—The Greenlanders use neither pistols nor swords to settle their quarrels ; but when an individual is insulted, he writes a satire against his oppo nent, and recites it until every person in the house knows it by, heart. He then appoints a meeting, sings his satire, accompanying it with music ; his friends join in the chorus ; he fires away his strongest epigrams, and endeavours to bring his adversary into ridicule. Then comes the turn of the challenged : he employs the same sort of satirical fire , repelling an attacking with all his force. To the victor in this warfare of words the laurel is given by the assembled multitude, who compel the least dexterous in dealing out sarcasm to make an apology to the other. Extract from a private letter, dated Florence, Sept• 24 :—" When last I wrote, the cholera was decreasing at Leghorn, and had not spread further than to some of the small adjacent villages, so that we were in very good spirits about it. Our hopes, however, were soon blasted, as the day before yesterday it appeared in several places ; and in a very small village near us, fifteen persons were yesterday attacked by the disease. In Leghorn it has made dreadful havoc. In one week there were 1,000 cases, and 800 deaths, which, if the number that quitted the place be considered, is a frightful number. I feel in very low spirits, for I fear we have no chance of escaping, as, in spite of this beautiful weather, it continues to spread, and Heaven only knows the day or hour we may be attacked. Great numbers propose leaving Florence directly. A whole family, consisting of seven persons, died yesterday in one village." In repairing Oundle North Bridge lately a stone was discovered with the following inscription :—" In the year of our Lord 1570, these arches were borne down by the waters' extremitie. In the year of our Lord 1571, they were builded again with lime and stone." In Thompson's " History of Boston" is the following:— " Damage done by the tempest of wind and rain which happened on the sth of October in the 13th year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, 1571 (Qy. 1570 ?) : Wentford (Wansford) Bridge, being very strong, of eight arches in length, had three of the arches broken and clear carried away. Meister Smith, at the Swan inn there (now called the Haycock inn, since Barnaby Har rington came swimming down the river sleeping on a hay cock), had all his house, being three stories high, over flowed into the third storie ; and the walles of the stables were broken down, and the horses tyed to the mangers were all drowned."—Stanford Mercury. RAILWAYS.—Of the transactions in the Money Market some of the most imp :octant now going on are in the shares of the railway companies, which are purchased with an avidity that to many is thought to augur an excess of speculation, attended with much danger to all concerned. The success of the Manchester and Liverpool Railway is the principal cause of this ; but most of the undertakings since commenced and brought into the London Market remained without much notice, until the rapid progress of that in course of formation.between London and Birmingham in duced some capitalists in the latter place and in Manchester to invest very large sums in it, in consequence of which the shares rose to 301. premium, which has been maintained, and indeed has been followed since by a further advance. Two or three individuals, it is said, have each subscribed 100,0001. to this undertaking. This gave an impulse to all descriptions of railway shares, though none have experienced so great a rise as that abovententioned, and though compa ratively neglected during any temporary scarcity of money, they have of late been uniformly in demand whenever the pressure was relieved by new issues from the Bank. The proportion of London capitalists who engage in them is, however, comparatively small, probably not more than one to four on the total of the subscriptions, which is a very material point in considering the ill consequences that may hereafter attend an excess of speculation in them, and it does, of course, materially lessen the danger. The country capitalists, more especially those of the manufactur ing districts, who engage in them, are men of property generally, little addicted to speculation, who select this as a form of investment, and are not likely to be alarmed at any reverse, so that a panic is not, under any circumstances, very probable. If it did occur, its action being principally on parties resident out of London, it would be compara tively harmless in its effects on this market. That the avidity to make these purchases still continues is evinced in the last new undertaking of any note which has been brought forward—the Northern Midland Railway, the shares in which were distributed yesterday morning. The letters were so numerous, that applications for more than 4,000 shares were rejected. We pretend to know nothing re spectively of the merits of these undertakings, some of which have raised hopes that, in all probability, will never be realized. The only reason for adverting to them is the important feature they present in the money transactions of this market.-11Iorning Paper. MINE OF HIMMELSFURST.—The situation of this mine is two miles south-east of Freyberg. The eleva tion 'of its surface above the level of the sea 1,346 feet. Elevation of the bottom of the mine above the level of the sea, 263 feet. The nature of the rock prevailing in the neighbourhood of Freyberg, in which this and most of the other mines are situated, is a formation of primitive gneiss. There are five veins worked in this mine. The principal vein (Teicliflache) is from one foot six inches to three feet in width ; the others are from six to twelve inches wide. The direction of this vein is nearly north and south, its un derlie is west, and about three feet per fathom. Some of the other veins intersect it. Its ores, argentiferous sulphu ret of lead, native silver, sulphuret of silver, red silver. The produce is from six to seven ounces of silver per quin tal of 1001bs. Equivalent to from 34 to 41 parts of metal, in 1,000 of ore, or from Ito nearly 1 per cent. The vein stone consists of quartz, pearlspar, and calcareous spar. The mineral substances accompanying the ores are blende, spathose iron, and a little red iron and arsenical pyrites. The depth of the principal shaft at Frankenschacht 180 fathoms. The depth of adit at this shaft 47 fathoms. The quantity of water pumped up is 50 gallons per minute. The average height to which the water is raised is 133 fathoms. The power employed in drainage consists of two water wheels, each 42 feet in diameter, equivalent in horse-power to 12 horses constantly at work, or a total number of 36. The average annual expense of drainage cannot be ascer tained, but evidently very small. The quantity of ore raised 630 tons. The produce in metal 6,160 lbs. troy of silver. The total returns or value of which are 18,0601. The total costs of the mine 9,5001. The clear profit to the proprietors 3,5601. The amount of capital invested cannot be ascertained, but probably very small. The in terest on capital invested cannot be ascertained, but pro bably very high. The proportion of costs to returns 73 per cent. The number of men emplayed 700 miners, of whom 550 are employed underground. The quantity of powder 240 cwt. of the value of 1,070. The ores arc delivered to the Government Reduction Works in the neighbourhood of Freyberg, where they are partly smelted, and partly amal gamated.—Mining Journal. VETA GRANDE MINES.—The situation of these mines, the richest in Mexico, is four miles north of Zacate- The elevation of the surface above the level of the sea, is supposed to be about 6,000 feet ; and of the bottom of the mine above the level of the sea, probably near 5,000 feet. The nature of the rock is transition clay slate, al ternating with dolomite, and occasionally with grey wacke this clay slate is sometimes decomposed ; it rests on sye nitic rocks, and is in some cases covered with porphyry. There is one principal vein (the Veta Grande), which is generally separated into three branches, and sometimes into four ; when ramified, the width extends to 60 or 70 feet ; when united, it varies from 8 or 10 to 20 or 30 feet ; the branches are generally about 10 or 12 feet wide, and the upper one is most productive ; the direction of the Veta Grande is from 30 to 40 degrees south of east and north of west, and its underlie from two to three feet per fathom south. Other veins of less size occur in the neigh bourhood of the Veta Grande, which cross it at an acute: angle ; one of these appears to heave the vein for a l )out. 700 feet, being the most remarkable derangement of the kind on record. The ores arc chiefly red silver, native sulphuret of silver, and argentiferous pyrites, lan ducing 3i oz. per quintal. The veinstone is chiefly quartz,. occasionally amethyst, carbonate of lime, and sulphate of barytes, while the ores arc g enerally accompanied by blende, sulphuret of antimony, an d iron pyrites. The principal shafts are the Tira General, 182 fathoms deep, and Gallega sbaft, 138 fathoms deep. There is no adit to this mine. The quantity of water drawn is about SO gallons per minute, which is raised on an average about 150 fathoms, usually by 10 malacates, probably equivalent in actual horse power to 32 horses constantly working, Wilbtal number of about 100 horses at an annual expense of drainage, 20,0001. Tht) quantity of ore annually produCed is 21,380 tons of silvr.l., producing 153,0001b5. troy of silver, making ,the total r. sins of 423,4001. per annum. The total costs of th , ,, m i n e 252,170/. per annum, giving a clear profit to the proprietors of 171,2401., from the amount of 130,000/. invested, making an interest on the capital vested of nearly 70 1 ) /. per cent., after paying back the original capital. Mt, proportion of costs to returns is about 591 per cent., aril the number of men employed about 900, of whom nearly 600 arc under ground. The wages of the miners per de.) , is about Bs. or 9s. The ores are chiefly reduced by the Company, at the Hacienda of Sauceda, by smelting and amalgamation... Mining Journal. cas. I ;~ ..) ~ .1 ~ i' `~~ _ .
