When the House of Commons disfranchised East Retford, the Lot 43 restored the corrupt burgesseS, and joined them in the franchise the subservient oc cupiets of the Dukery ; this very act has disfranchised them as electors of the county, and the ttOtthern division is at once emancipated from the tfhinmels in which Bassetlaw and the 504 tvtidliey had involved it.

ZUMALACARltncut.—imrnediatb: opposite my window, on the Begonian height, stands the house where Zurnalttcarregui, the modern Sartorius, received his mortal wound. The belief which exists with you, that it was from the hand of an Englishman that he received his death-blow, is unfounded ; it was from a battery on the flank of that occupied by the English detachment that the shot was fired. There are many people here, and whose opinions ought to carry weight, from their accurate knowledge of persons and things, who positively state that had Zumala carregui lived, Bilboa must have fallen.—Private Corres pondence. IMPROVEMENT OF IRELAND.--A company is to be formed " for promoting the inland communication, the cultivation of waste lands, and the improvument of the harbonrs in Ireland." Several of the ErPrncli Journals relate that two tra vellers, who tp.ssed through a village of Savoy on the 28th of July, wrote in the re/rig-et of an inn words which seem to refer to the attempt committed on that day in Paris, and consequently to prove that Fieschi's crime was not an iso lated one. One t•:aveller, after the name of Louis-Phillippe and his sons, wrote Rquiescant in pace. A rogatory com mission having been sent to the village from Grenoble, found the registry and the phrases, and infer that the per sons who wrote them instigated the commission of the crime, but put themselves in safety before its execution. The Pro cureur of the Ring of Sardinia, at Chatribery, has seized the register, which has been sent to the Court of Peers. TOWER MENAGERIE.—None of this once excel lent and valuable collection of animals now remains, the empty dens, cages, &c., being only to be seen. The Zoo logical Gardens have completely superseded the Tower col lection, which has been considerably diminishing of late years, and which was private property, and under private management, at its unprofitable and final close. The streets situated In Lambeth parish ) in the neighbourhood of the water-side and Kennington, &c., are now lighted with oil instead of gas, in consequence of a dispute between the local trustees for managing the light ing and the Gas Company about the price. A small lamp is suspended in each lantern s and the effect is alarm ing and gloomy. After o'clock in the morning the lamps go out, and the total darkness which then prevails offers the greatest facilities to thieves, which the extra ordinary vigilance of the police may not be able to coun teract. The district of the metropolis and suburbs now referred to is not the only one subject to this increasing and dangerous defects it is therefore hoped that the pro per authorities will take prompt and efficient measures, not only to remedy the present evils, but to provide against their recurrence. On Thursday bight, between 11 and 12 o'clock, the following deplorable and melancholy accident occurred to Mrs. Elizabeth Martindale, a lady 35 years of age, wife of Samuel Martindale, Esq., residing in Baker-street, Portman-square :--It appears from the statement of one of the female domestics, that she heard violent screams for assistance issuing from her mistress's bed-room ; she imme diately ran up stairs, and found Mrs. Martindale enveloped in flames, endeavouring to extinguish them. The young woman, with great presence of mind, seized the bed-side carpet, and wrapped it round her, by which means she succeeded in extinguishing the flames ; but the unfortunate lady was dreadfully burnt before that could be effected. From her statement, she was engaged in writing to Mr. Martindale, who is at present in the country on a shooting excursion. The house of Mr. Jones, at Weybridge, was broken open on Monday night last, and several articles of plate stolen therefrom. The thieves entered by the larder win dow, from which they first removed an iron bar, and from the manner in which they entered and ransacked the ground-floor, in the whole range of which they did not al low a closet, drawer, or desk, to escape their search, it is suspected they must have been experienced thieves. They regaled themselves with roast beef and port wine, which they took from the cellar, but departed, it is conceived, rather hastily, as some articles were found on the lawn, which it is supposed they purposed taking away. Mr. Jones on the night of the robbery was in town, but a hat of his being on the library table is supposed to have deterred the robbers from going up stairs, which saved his family. In formation of the robbery having reached Oatlands, Lord Francis Egerton in the kindest manner sent a groom in stantly to Chertsey for an officer, and personally attended at the house, and has been most active in assisting Mr. Jones to apprehend the thieves. ADULTERATION.—In a lecture to his class at the Royal Institution, Professor Brande gave a very curious in stance of adulteration practised even to a great extent in the article of soot. He had paid a visit to a chemical ma nufactory near Battle-bridge, where large quanities of saw dust were charred in a certain process. On inquiring to what purpose it was applied, seeing a large heap of it in one corner of the yard, he was informed that it was long before any market could be obtained for it, but that it was now sold to sweeps for the purpose of adulterating soot. ROBBER SHOT.—An attempt was made on Sunday night last, to enter the Toll-bar house, at Scrooby, near Bawtry. Although late, the keeper had not retired to bed, when he heard some person attempt to open the window shutters. On opening the chamber window, he perceived two men, who desired him to let them in, as " they had come for money, and money they would have." The keeper desired them to go away quietly, or be would shoot them ; this they seemed not to notice, but made a strenuous effort to enter. The keeper immediately fired a pistol loaded with shot, which struck one of the men on the head, the other made off as quick as possible. The mail soon after came up, and the robber was taken to the public-house at Scrooby, very dangerously wounded.—Lincoln Gazette. EXECUTION.----;On Tuesday morning George Camp bell was hanged in Glasgow for the murder of the widow Walters, in Calton. He was a native of Ireland, aged twenty-six, and had been seven years in the army. SINGULAR FIRE.—On Thursday night a fly van, containing a quantity of valuable furniture, plate, and books, the property of a family removing from Cheltenham to Leamington, was totally destroyed by fire on the road be tween Evesham and Alcester, Worcestershire. The wheels of the van had stuck fast in the road, and the driver having procured the assistance of an ostler from the nearest inn, who took a candle and lantern with him ; the latter, in looking for a rope, set the straw on fire, and the flames spread so rapidly that all attempts to extinguish them proved fruitless. INCENDIARY FIRES.—The hand of the incendiary has again been at work on the farm of Mr. Purser, an opu lent farmer at Cople, Bedfordshire. On Thursday morn ing the stable-boy was attending to the only horse on the premises, at that time kept in the stables, when a flake of fire fell from above him near to his head. The lad imme diately ran out, and gave the alarm, when five neighbours came to his assistance. Before water could be thrown on effectually, the flames had reached the chaff-house, and from thence spread to the clover-barn on the one side, and to another barn, filled with barley, on the other. The wind at the same time blowing. briskly, forced flakes of fire to the opposite side of the yard, when a large cart-hovel and another barn were on fire at the same time. While the two sides of the yard were burning with fearful fury, the rick-yard adjoining the third side caught fire, and in a few minutes two large wheat stacks, two barley stacks, and one stack of beans were fast falling a sacrifice to the de vouring element. The engines as quickly as possible were sent for from Bedford, and although every exertion was made, both by the firemen and labourers of the village, the fire raged with irresistible violence, till the whole of the farm buildings, with the exception of one barn and a haystack, were levelled with the ground. From the first discovery until the whole burning mass was on the ground the time did not exceed one hour. The engines continued to play the whole day on Thursday on the embers. The value of the property destroyed is estimated at from 1,0001. to 1,5001. The stock is insured in the County Fire-office, and the buildings are the property of his Grace the Duke of Bedford. Mr. Purser was only a week ago elected a guardian of the parish under the new poor laws, and his having advocated the system of giving relief in bread in stead of money seems to have been the cause of this diabolical attack on his property. The paupers seem ge nerally impressed with the idea, that by a continuance of the incendiary system, they would ultimately deter the va rious insurance-offices from insuring farming property at all, when the losses must inevitably fall on the objects of their revenge or hatred. Another incendiary fire took 'place on the farm of Mr. Squires, of Silsm, one of Earl De Grey's tenants, on: Saturday night last. Three wheat stacks, standing at a distance from any thoroughfare, were tired, but the wind fortunately blowing in the wrong di rection from two of them, only one, of the value of 401., was consumed. _ a si- ;;curt gme nt (das" )r that L t C ase, ,a. be rise ho 10 100. rristerg bed to o wspa . not all O! ione 01 Lpplica" Ash all ossiblc. ~ feW ore o t of the lchisew hail the ER' t Ab er ' on b" dfu l irea five truck 3 ' m-en ds ,uld n ot - n VI a sig nal ,j bear, -yes° clt 5 ,0 n j g a tim th e , sa vios t fo a r at tl ie ' e And or'- "e 11,3 11 ge tli°~boU' t 45 t tin Sco t th° t e fal fro- The 0 , o anono and 1 1(0 ; ; els 11 0 ' H a rboti r. vcrY ,sh g abs r illes , '" , c., on' frO o AS, ctre" o o itc, 0 5 c „ a •o n :i d Isl don, 'l° CP Vc ri ll i t e lj . .avY g - oy as tots oil way drip ° near F:1 d. t tile ttoo° (1 1 ,t, to 0 ~ 0 9 t i ; 6 5 0 6 6 0 6 4 6 0 : 1 , 0 4 .3 ' o ' fi - p 0 0 1.2 0 6 0 0 4 0 6 if It. 4o S 0 2 0 ‘,l 0 .) 6 0 0 0 5 U)0 0 0 'i) 4 :J• / 0 t I ,C 54 4 ,5 3 J 7 1 t' t 4 y 0 4t „ _CO j ( ; , 1 4 '1 r Cott ° r , 5p3 .cry bcc o oe A to " • re' a• 113 , Pie d . fi li g ;cry LCII 0 t COl ir 11 411 e to t ,boo To; .itil r " Llie f 0 0. 0f t a b e c 11 ' 15 oards. joi n, THP StTN, LONDO_Si, sATritrav, OCTOBER 3, 1835. USLiOIOLTS LifiERT Y. "The following is the invitation to the Duke of Sns _sex, to dine with the new Sheriffs. His Royal High ness's answer, which could not be read at the dinner, in consequence of the great pressure of toasts and speeches, will be perused with interest " Guildhall, Sept. 15 i 1835. " TO. HIS ROYAL HIGIIIER,S THE buitt Ot sussEt. " Sir—By the direction of the Sheriffs elect for London and Middlesex, their Under Shrriffs have forwarded to your Royal HighnesS an imitation to their itiauguration dinner, which, in conformity with ancient ctistoro, will take place on the 30th instant, and they earnestly hope that the festival will be graced by your Royal Highness's presence. Mr. Sheriff Salomons is a gentleman of the Jewish religion, whose ancestors have conducted an extensive mer cantile establishment, within the city of London, with high honour for upwards of a century, but who have been prevented, by the exclusive laws of the City, from all participation in the honours Of civic ogice, although they . have been subjected to all the dues and duties of citizenship. " To the honour of the present age ) a portion of these absurd Lind unjust regttiationg Loa been removed by cer tain by-laws of the corporation, sanctioned by an Act of the Legislature ; passed during the last Session, and Mr. Salo mons has been selected by the citizens of London as the first ibernber of the Jewish community elected to the distin guished honour of one of its Sheriffs. " The noble- exertions of your Royal Highness, during a series of years, to obtain for the subjects of the Crown of Great Britain equal privileges, without distinction of reli gious faith ; ifidtice Mr. Salomons to hope that your Royal Highness, will be graciously pleased to give . the high sanction of your royal presence at an etertamment which (in addition to its customary objects), will celebrate the harmonious concurrence of' the Legislature, the Corpora tion, and the people, in the extinguishment 'of sectarian differences, the removal of practical grievances, and the ad vancenient of liberal opinions. " I have the honour to be,.your ttoyal Highness's " Most obedient humble Servant, (Signed) " CHARLES PEARSON." , • " Kensington Palace, Sept. 28, 1865. " TO THE UNDER-SHERIFFS FOR LONDON AND MIDDLEIgX. " CIENTUMEN-I have to acknowledge the receipt of an invitation card from the Sheriffs elect for London and Middlesex, to their inauguration dinner, which will be given on the 30th of this month. "It is with unfeigned regret that I am compelled to de cline so honourable a testimony of their esteem, which they have evinced towards me. The unfortunate malady under which my eye-sight is at present labouring totally incapacitates me from attending any public festival whatever. " The Sheriffs elect will therefore clearly understand that no other circumstance but the state of my health could have prevented me of availing myself of the opportunity thus afforded me by their kindness, to express particularly the sentiment of approbation with which I have perused their admirable letter. " It would have been no small gratification to me to have joined in the celebration of an event so calculated to fur ther the best interests of the State, by its peculiar tendency to strengthen and increase the goodwill of every individual towards our common country, _ . . " My opinions with regard to these great questions, which during the last thirty years have at different periods engaged the attention of the legislature, are well known ; they were not hastily formed, but were the result of mature delibera tion, and I adopted them, because in my mind they were in unison with the principles on which the British Constitu tion is founded, a Constitution which I have been taught to revere as beautiful in theory, and which I felt assured was capable of being reduced to a correspondent symmetry in practice. " Gentlemen,—For wise purposes, as they no doubt luta. gined, and under the extraordinary circumstances of that period, they might possibly have been justified in what they did, the statesmen of the 17th century enacted sundry penal laws, and laid some restrictions upon the liberty of consci ence in this country. But was it to be supposed that a statute of disabilities should remain in force, when the ne cessity which had occasioned its enactment no longer ex isted ? Such, however, unhappily was the case, and men, I grieve to say, are found who, in defiance of that more ge nerous spirit of liberal and improved thinking which was and is diffusing itself around, had power sufficient to main tain the narrow view, and to continue the ancient prejudices of times long past and gone. Happily for us, gentlemen, we have lived to see the extinction of most of these anti social and, I may truly add, anti-Christian notions—their extinction I mean, as far as can affect the government of this great country.- " bentlemen,—lt is in regard to the expression of your opinions on those important points that my approbation has been given. lam not, however, insensible to the favour able terms in which you have noticed my public conduct. Next to the testimony of his own conscience, the applause of his fellow citizens must be grateful to every man. Be assured, therefore, that I deeply feel the value of the com pliment bestowed on me. I cannot conclude my letter without requesting you to offer most particularly to Mr. Sheriff Salomons my warmest congratulations on his attain ment of that high civic dignity which has been an object of his just ambition. That he will discharge the duties of that office with honour and fidelity I entertain no doubt. That his year of Shrievalty may be passed through with pleasure and satisfaction to himself is my hearty and sin cere wish ; and now, with once more repeating my regret at being prevented from attending on this highly interesting occasion, and thus from witnessing this additional triumph of civil and religious liberty, " I am, Gentlemen, your obliged, " E. AUGUSTUS." LORD BROUGHAM FORTY YEARS AGO. (From the Morning Advertiser.) The following notes of a paper, written by Henry Brougham, jun., when he was a lad, will, we have no doubt, be read with attention, by thousands of Lord Brougham's admirers. The paper affords striking evidence of early developement of talent of no ordinary description : " Experiments and Observations On the inflection, Pok e .. tion, and Coloure rf Light. By HENRY BROUGHAM, Jun., (now Lord Brougham and Vaux.) Read before the Royal Society on the 28th of January, 1796. " It has always appeared wonderful to me," says Mr. Brougham, " since nature seems to delight in those close analogies which enable her to preserve simplicity and oven uniformity in variety, that there should be no dispositions in the parts of light with respect to inflection and reflection anolagous or similar to their different refrangibility. In or der to ascertain the existence of such properties, I began a course of experiments and observations, a short account of which forms the substance of this paper. For the sake of perspicuity, I shall begin with the analytical branch dithe subject, comprehending my observations under two parts— flection, or the bending of the rays in their passage by bo dies, and reflection. And I shall conclude by applying the principles there established to the explanation of phenomena, in the way of synthesis. , " As in every experimental inquiry much depends on the attention paid to the minutest circumstances, in justice to myself, I ought to mention that each experiment was set down as particularly as possible immediately after it was made ; that they were all repeated every favourable day, for nearly a year, and before various persons ; and as anything like a preconceived opinion, with respect to matter of theory that is in dispute, will, it is more than probable, influence us in the manner of drawing our conclusions, and even in the manner of recording the experiments that lead to these, I have endeavoured, as much as possible, to keep in view the saying of the Brahmin---' that he who obstinately adheres to any set of opinions may bring himself at last to believe that the fresh sandal wood is a flame of fire." Mr. Brougham's experiments and remarks would occupy nearly one hundred quarto pages—to follow them very closely is here out of the question ; we, therefore, present a few notes on the more strikini, portions of his investigations. " Into my darkened' chamber (says he) I let a beam of the sun's light through a hole in a metal plate (fixed in . the window-shut), of one-fortieth of an inch diameter, and all other light being absorbed by black cloth hung before the window and in the room, at the hole I placed a prism of glass, whose refracting angle was 45 degrees, and which was covered all over with black paper, except a small part on each side, which was free from impurities, and through which the light was refracted, so as to form a distinct4nd tolerably homogeneous spec trum, on a chart at six feet from the window. In the rays, at two feet from the prism, I placed a black unpolished pin (whose diameter was everywhere one-tenth of an inch) parallel to the chart, and in a vertical position. Its shadow was formed in the spectrum on the char, and had a consi derable penumbra, especially in the brig•ltest red, for it was by no means of the same thickness in all its parts ; that in violet, was broadest and most distinct ; that in the red, narrowest and most confused ; and that in the interme diate colours, was of an intermediate thickness and de gree of distinctness. It was not bounded by straight, but by curvilinear sides, convex towards the axis, to which they approached as to an asymptote, and that nearest in the least refrangibl e. ra y s . N or could this be owing to any irregularity in the pin, for the same thing happened in all sorts of bodies that were used ; and also if the prism was moved on its axis, so that the colour might ascend and descend on these bodies ; still, wherever the red fell it made. the least, and the violet the greatest shadow." Mr. Brougham goes on with another experiment, and concludes that the rays of the sun's light differ in degree of inflexi bility, and that th . osq which are least refrangible are mast infr.ribk ; and furibef, that 9ie most inflexible rays arc also the most deflexible. Having fsiirtd that the parts t;f light differ in flexibility, he proceeds to learn too thblFs ; in what proportion the angle of inflection is to that of deflec tion at equal incidences ; and secondly, what proportion the different fletibilities of the different rays bear to one another. After a few introductory remarks on reflection, he observes, " The sun shining into my darkened chamber through a small hole 1-40th of an inch in diameter, I placed a pin of 1-30th of an inch in diameter in the cone of light (one half inch 'from the hole), inclitiod td the raja at an angle of about 45 deg., and its shadow was received on a chart parallel to it, at the distance of two feet; The shadow was surrounded by three fringes on eachsicie l discovered by Grimaldo. Beyond these there Were two streaks of white light diverg ing from the shadow, and mottled with bright colours, very irregularly scattered up and tiGwr. ; but on using another pin, whose suiface WAS well polished, and plac ing it nearer the hole than before, the colours in streaks became much brighter (and the streaks them selves flinch narrower), being extended from one side to the oiler, tid that, adept hi a very few points here and there,'no white was now to Ito ikteri f and on moving the pin the colours moved also ; but they disappeared if the pin was deprived of its polish, by being held in the flame of a candle, or if a roll of paper was used instead of the pin ; also they were much brighter in direct than in reflected light, and in the light of the sun, at the focus of a lens, than in his direct unrefracted light. Placing a piece of paper round the hole in the window-shut, I obse?Ved the colours continued there ; and, inclining the chart to the point where they left off, I saw them continued on it, and then proceed as before to the shadow. If the pin was held horizontally, or nearly so, they were seen of a great size on the floor, the walls, and the roof of the room , forming a large circle ; and if the chart was laid horizontally, and the pin held between the hole and it, in a vertical position, the circle was seen on the chart, and became an oval by inclin ing the pin a little to the horizon." The Learned Author concludes his researches with seven propositions : " Ist. The angles of inflection and deflection are equal at equal incidences. " gd: The lino of inflection is to that of incidence in a given ratio. " Pd. The sun's light consists of parts which differ in de gree Of inflexibility and deflexibility ; those which are most re frangible being least flexible. " 4th. The ficaibilitics of the rays are inversely as their re frangibilities ; and the *eats.= by flexion is divided by the harmonical ratio, like the spectrum by refraction. inci dence, Wept in particular (thoughc,?mmon) combinations of circumstances, and in the meats rays of the ;;:ectrum.l least " Bth, The angle of reliction i s not e q ual to that of " 6th.

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 9. The presence of Lord Durham; who arrived here in the Barhanz, on the 3d instant, continues to excitd much in- erest and curiosity. The nature of this visit, if it be made with a political object, (and everybody here is fully per suaded of this), is such as to leave ample room for specu lation ; and in the absence of any certain information, the most trifling circumstances are laid hold of, and in- terpreted accorded to the bias and party views of our various politicians. On appearing before the Seraglio point, the guns of the Barham gave, as it was thought, the customary salute, and after nineteen discharges paused for a reply. None, however, was for some time vouchsafed ; and after waiting about three hours, during which time the batteries preserved the most provoking silence, a messenger was dispatched to inquire into the cause. It was dis etiVered that g 1 was the number of rounds to which the Sultan considered himself entitled, while 19 was the compli ment due to the fleet ; but the Capoudan Pacha knew his duty too well to answer any salute before satisfaction had been rendered to his master. Accordingly, two supple mental guns were lA, when the whole was duly rep . t . sid by the batteries, and afterwards a salute exchanged with the fleet. This incident, however unittioftant, was niali cionsly construed into an intentional slight by the Russian party here. Their triumph, however, was destined to he short, for on Saturday morning (a mark of attention almost unprecedented at Constantinople), Namiek Pacha was dispatched in a seven-oared calque, to welcome his Lord ship, on the part of the Sultan, to the Bosphorus, and to invite him to a special audience. Friday is the day ap pointed for that purpose, and the diplomatic corps feel much interest in the result. If any thing occurs beyond the ce remonies and the courtesies which the occasion prescribes, it will, of course, not transpire. It is, nevertheless, to be wished that the Porte, which has been tantalized by so many fruitless demonstrations on our part, will not be dis appointed in this ; but that a visit to which the attention of all Europe has been directed, will prove to be something more than a whim of his Lordship. It is to be hoped that he will not leave Constantinople without securing that which, under existing circumstances, is worth more to us than armies and fleets—the confidence of the Sultan. On Friday last the Saib-tapa, or envoy, from Tunis was admitted to an audience, when the Sultan was pleased to raise him from the rank of Agha to that of Bey, investing him with the usual decoration on the occasion. This was perhaps the least the Sultan could do, considering the very handsome way in which he has come provided. In fact, he brought a whole ship-load of presents, including 16 Arabian steeds of the most approved breed ; and, not less distinguished for beauty and mettle, 125 ladies for his harem. These, with 200,000 dollars in hard cash, besides several costly articles of native manufacture, prove Shekir Bcy, as he is now styled, to be truly an accomplished diplo matist, and one who understands the way (the Oriental one at least) to the hearts of princes. Neither has he forgotten the arts to which he owes his own elevation, having been raised by the late Bey of Tunis from the condition of a slave in his seraglio to the dignity of Prime Minister, for the skill which, on a certain emergency, .he displayed in raising the needful. Prince Milosch has also, during the last week, been presented by the Grand Seignor with a sabre, richly mounted, and his portrait, set in diamonds. We are not yet entirely delivered from the plague, but the cases during the last week have been few and isolated. Despatches have been again received from the Romelie Valacie, under data of the 19th ult., announcing the arri val of his vanguard at Lech, a distance of sixteen leagues from Scutari, and where he had halted to secure his com munications. He has so far met with no opposition to his progress, nor does the remainder of the route present any difficulty, with the exception of some marshy but open country, which his troops will have to traverse. In the meanwhile he has issued a proclamation, wherein to pre vent the effuaiort of blood, ne promises, first, an amnesty to all who shall lay daft their arms ; next, a subsequent inquiry into their grievances ; arid lastly, the most ample redress, if there should be discovered an just grounds of complaint against their Governor, Hafiz Pacha. It is fully expected that those concessions, which have bee,: in great measure offered in consequence of the conciliatory spirit a[.." l demeanour Manifested by the rebel chiefs themselves, will at once terminate those disorders. • I have extracted what follows from a letter from Alex andria, under date of the 1.5t11 ult. : . . 6"rhe cholera tnorbus has again visited Alexandria ; it made its appearance hero on the 6th, and the day after the arrival of Mehemet Ali was announced. " Advices from Upper Egypt inform us that a mutiny has broken out in a regiment of infantry stationed there, caused by the arrears of pay due to them, Being sup ported by a large body of the peasantry, the revolt was suppressed with much difficulty, and not without considc. rable loss of life. A few days ago the remains of the army which had formed the expedition to Yemen, returned in the most deplorable state to Alexandria. From 19 to 17,000 men, to which it amounted on its departure last year, it is now reduced to 4,000 on the outside. It has been compelled to evacuate the territory it bad invaded, having been routed by the Arabs of Hcedjas in every en counter, and has finally taken refuge hi Egypt. Mehemet Ali appears utterly confounded by the number and extent of his reverses, and certainly not without reason, as at his time of life (seventy-five years), power and dominion, such as he had succeeded in establishing, are not easily retained, when the tide which leads to fortune has begun to ebb. In the midst of his difficulties, however, the spirit of gascon ade, for which he was always remarkable, has not yet de serted him, and he has been heard to talk, since his arrival here, of an immediate levy of 100,000 men. How and when he is to raise them, with empty coffers, and an ex hausted population, must be best known to himself." The picture which is given in this letter of the darken ing prospects of Mehemet Ali will be rendered still more gloomy if the reports which prevail here of an insurrec. ! tion in :Syria are confirmed. The delay of the Smyrna packet, in. consequence of an accident she met with in her passage outwards, leaves us still without authentic details. In the meantime intelligence is said to have reached the Go vernment indirectly, by the way of Rhodes, with the addi tional circumstance that Emir Beshir bad devolved the com mand of his troops (50,000 in number) to his son Khalil, who wasabout to fall upon the Egyptians, while dispersed and unprepared. Whether or not in consequence of this infor tion, I cannot say, but there was yesterday a numerous at tendance and long discussion at the Divan. A courier was 'also despatched, a few days ago, after active and frequent comm unication with the Porte, from the h:ussian Embassy to St. Petersburg. There is little doubt that a crisis in the affairs o f M e h emet AI, is actually at band, ilussia will he loth a_ i orcing her intervention let it forcing her without discovering in it a ezt cus feeder:se and on the Porte. Ott the other hand, the Sultan, l i is said, is determined to act. with in dependence, and assert his undoubted right of putting at, end to the disorders that afflict his empire.—Mernin Paper. FRENCH PAPERS. (From Galignanii .illessenger of Thursday.) 08th nit. says Let- The Memorial liordelais of the - of the ex-Mi ters from Madrid represent that the nisters Toreno and Martinez de la Rosa, and tru: .members of the Council of Regency, Amarillas and Walla, are .s° far in danger, that they remain as it were imprisoned at Madrid, the irritated inhabitants of the province having threatened to do justice upon. all they take to be the above mentioned four personages, who they believe will endeavour to escape out of the kingdom in disguise. They are accused of having yielded to foreign influence—of having con- - stantly advised the Queen Regent not to comply with the petitions addressed to the Crown by the Juntas—of having neglected taking measures to repress the Carlist insurrec' tion—of having degraded the national character by calling f or foreign aid ; and, finally, of having entertained the infe rring yro i;. e , of marrying the young Queen to the son of Don Carlos." The Borsen Halle of the 24th ult. has the following from Stockholm, of the 18th We learn from Drontheim that the King distributed there a great number of decorations in a Chapter' of Orders holden by his Majesty. In Norway the elections continue for the Bth Storthing. We have received intelligence thee during the night of the 2d the town of Skelleftea, in Western Bothnia, fell a prey to the flames. The church and parsonage-house, with the district post-office and two other houses, were alone preserved. This town had at tained great prosperity, chiefly from its ship-building. The church, which is considered to be the largest and most beautiful in the north, resembles a Grecian temple. The Russian squadron, composed of nine ships of the line and eight frigates, which has been to Dantsic, in its passage sent a vessel to Slito, in Gothland, to revictual the fleet. This was not permitted, inasmuch as the vessel could exhi bit no certificate from a sanitary office.

A letter from Toulon of the 26th ult., has the following : —" The sloop Cornelis has arrival with important de spatches from Admiral Massieu de Clerol, touching the present posture of affairs in Greece. At the departure of the Cornilie . several engagements had taken place between the insurgents of Roumelia and the Bavarian troops sent in pursuit of them. The latter have already experienced se , veral checks. The rallying cry of the insurgents is The Constitution for Ever.' A letter from Salamis of the 7th states that the Bavarian troops and National Guards sent against the Constitutionalists, who have raised the standard of revolt in the western provinces, have been beaten. In te;:ze agitation exists in every quarter, and great irritation prevails ,;jainst Count d'Armansperg.

The Camille, which sails to-morrow for Toulon, has just arrived in the roadstead of Salamis, from Smyrna and Egina. On the departure of this vessel from Smyrna, no case of plague had appeared within 25 days. It was at one time thought that the cholera had broken out at Athens, and even the plague was spoken of. All the diplomatists im mediately quitted the city." Another letter from Salamis contains the following M. Rouen and his wife have em barked on board the Bellona. This frigate has been off Salamis since the 26th of July. Greece is in insurrection. Coletti has quitted, on board the Nelson. He remaintia until the last moment, in expectation of a revolution in Athens and . the Piraeus. The Government neglects to drain the marshes, and fevers prevail-6,000 persons are sick. The diplomatic body has been outwitted by the Aus trian Ambassador, who has concluded a separate treaty with the Greek Government. The three Powers, in re turn for the loan of the 60,000,000, desired the establish ment of a foreign tribunal for their respective subjects who might commit offences in Greece. A proposal to this effect was rejected, and the Austrian Ambassador, by not secon ding the point, has insinuated himself into the good grace of the Greek Government. The annual expences continue to exceed the revenue by 6,000,000, and nothing is done." FRENCH FUNDS.—PIats, Ocroeca 1. jive per Cents., 108 E 25c. 30c. 2Cc. 15c.

The dismissal of Koh.:.ti 11 " afflicted all Greek patriots, for he was the bond of ums.', l between the national party and the new Government. These men now hope that Kolitti, who goes as Greek Am bassador to Paris, will give the French and English Cabi nets a just idea of the state of Greece. As in consequence of the Greek loan of 60 millions, guaranteed by France, England, and Russia (each for one third), those powers have a right to take account of the application and re demption of the loan, it is believed in Greece that Eng land and France may, perhaps, be induced to .send one or two Commissioners to Greece, who arc well versed in matters of accounts, and will examine the chaos of Greek finance. The letters express a conviction, that in such a case a mass of crying abuses, and enormous profusion, will come to light. It is unfortunate for Greece that there is not a good understanding with Turkey, which chiefly arises from the aversion of the Sultan to treat with the King of Greece on a footing of equity.

GREEN'S BALLOON.—It appears the late trip of Mr. Green, mentioned by us last week, produced at the neighbouring village of Stanstead Mountfitchet similar effects. That " little spot" of quiet and repose (gentle Stanstead), shortly after nine o'clock on the eventful even ing, was thrown into disorder by the daring voyager. It appears that the village blacksmith's wife at the time uttered loud cries of " The world's at an end." After she had been tranqualized she gave the following account Just before going to bed, she opened tile door to look out, and the candle in her land suddenly was extinguished, when the clouds opened, aid 1;. voice from onp who descended upon her exclaimed, Where am I?' Foctunately there were those near who succeeded dispelling the poor woman's delusion. Mr. Green's height here was not above one hundred feet from the ground. On Thursday even i ng last, a singular scene occurre in Hockeril-street, .at this place. About nine o'clock, " Confusion worse confounded" pro claimed that the " Comet was coming down"—" The gas was blowing up"—" The world's at an end"—and so on. It happened that the Honourable J. Hook, who had just ordered two pa'rs of horses at the Crown Inn, and was waiting for the second carriage to come up to give some or ders, made himself most praiseworthily active in quelling the fears of the timid, by assuring them that it was Mr. Green's balloon that had that evening ascended at Vauxhall. Mr. Green; in his late trip to Lynn, passed over the upper part of this street, and his light, with some kind of small firework he threw out (probably to attract), had caused the uproar. It appears he was sailing very low, but in high spirits, as he could afrord to be witi.v. " What county am lin ?" inquired Le. The Honourable Gentleman answered, " Hertfordshire, but you will directly be in Essex. Why don't you descend Y' " Because I can't," said he, " I wish I could." Mr. Hook said he had seen =lay balloons, par ticular in Japan and China, whose inbabitantJexcel in making • them, but he never saw one progress so slowly. His height here was about 90 feet above the houses.—Essar Standard. '. Y'EMALE EMIGRATION.—On Thursday a steam packet c..inveyed. 250 emigrants, 220 of Whom were females, down to Lira; ,send, to embark on board the Boadicea, on their way to Ho..''att -Town, Van -Diemen's Land. The morning was most pr,: Winans, and the young women thus adventuring into an al-m,st new existence, bore up against the uncertainty o f t h e i r f uu :re fate with a fortitude which would do credit to there who are ; , leased to style themselves the superior sex. Some with whom N , e, conversed bad a notion that they were going amongst canO)als ; but, either from the love of change, or domestic comfort., they appeared resolved to run the hazard. It was hard to sa;', various statements, whether the yes avgusta . from their doeil or the alieni appetens was. the moving cause. A great Dumber were Irish, and of these the principal portion were accus tomed to agricultural labour. This class of emigrants, like the weather, alternated between tears and smiles ; but when they ascertained during their voyage down the river that agricul turalservants were the most valuable in the new colony they not only appeared reconciled to their situation, but assumed an air of mastery. The Scotch were cool, collective, and ob servant. The English, whilst on board the steam-packet, seemed perfectly at home and easy, but when drafted on board appeared as if they bad given up their all. The at tention of Mr. Marshall (the agent) deserves particular notice, and - the manner in which the poor creatures en trusted to his care showed their sense of his kindness proved that blandness of manner was not adapted " for the nonce." The Boadicea is a noble vessel, and will afford - more than the usual accommodation. We left its interest, ing freight about half-past three. They passed on to the world of waters, we to " the wen." An excellent dinner was provided under the superintendence of Mr. Clifton, of Jury-street, Aldgatc, who acted as steward. Many loyal toasts were drank, and some attacks made upon Mr. Mar shall (the agent of the Emigration Committee) by Dr. Lung, proprietor of a newspaper at Sydney, were ably met and rebutted. The highest testimony was borne by the Chairman and other members of the Committee who were present, to the manner in which Mr. Marshall performed his arduous and delicate duties. .) v %v as A. !Slily could c Fc- otLcr oise g could nail good , n tho be i''' -' x,:,
