Sir,-1 have much pleasure in st a ti ng t o y o u th a t Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills have been of the greatest service to me. Between nine and ten months ago I became afflicted with that molt painful disease Sciatica; the agonising pain which 1 suffered in my legs and, thighs for so long a period, baffl,s any description which I can pos •iblt give of my then miserable state. I could 'eldom obtain either rest or sleep. I had the best medical advice, including that of two physicians in London, without obtAining any essential relief. I went to Margate, and had the best medical advice, trying the warm bath there, and at other places, without obtaining any benefit. A short time ago l was recommenned to try Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills; and wa• thereby induced to purchase a box of this valuable medicine of Me , srs Hammond and Co , Chemists of this town, and before I had taken the quantity therein contained, I was entirely free from pain, and speedily recovered my health by taking a few more Pills, and happily there has been no return of this di tressing malady. Y. u are at liberty to publish my case, in the hope thereby that this excellent medicine may be the means of relieving others. 1 am, Sir, yours, respectfully, BrP- id MaP' • J. B. MISKIN, Brewer am Alilister, liartford, Kent. P. S.—lf I could possibly speak in stronger terms of your invalu able medicine 1 should be most happy, for it is impos , ible for lan guage to describe the relief I have experienced. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every de cription of Gout and Rheumatism, ha ve secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, where the patient has bern driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease, but restore to perfect health in an incon ceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in rheumatism, either chronic or acute, lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed for every rheumatic or gouty affection ; in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it, and there is n , ta city, town, or village in the kingdom, but contains many grateful evidences of the benign influence of this medicine Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London; and by his appoint ment by all respectable Medicine Venders throughout the United Kingdom.

MURDE GL A O T UC T E O ST C E K R. INGTON, THORNBURY, MONDAY.—The village of Tockington was on Saturday thrown into a state of the utmost con sternation and alarm, by the murder of a respectable farmer of the neighbourhood. The daring and cold blooded crime was committed in a beer-house, kept by a person named Thomas, by a man named William Weyman, who served, I am informed, in the army for about twenty years, and has latterly been subsisting on the produce of a pension granted him for servitude, and which he has eked out with small sums earned by him as a messenger, for carrying parcels, attending the port, and cleaning the accoutrements of such farmers as are members of the Duke of Beaufort's regiment of Yeo manry Cavalry. The unfortunate deceased, Mr. William Fisher, was fifty-four years of age, and has for many years farmed his own freehold at A wkley..a hamlet, nearly adjoining the village in which his inn der a, as perpetrated. Sa turday morning, about ten, Mr. Fisher, while on his way to Bristol, where he was proceeding on business, called at the house of Thomas, where he had some cider. The assassin, Weyman, was also there, and two men named Knapp and Cullimore. The accused also called for some cider, which he drank, after which he began boasting about his having received a penny letter from the Post office, in which was a note for 501. The de ceased denied the truth of this assertion, and said he was telling a lie. The accused replied, "If you had said that outside of the house, you should never have kicked again." The deceased repeated the observation, and shortly afterwards the accusedl eft the room, and in the course of a minute returned, holding a large cavalry pistol (which the landlady had before observed in his coat pocket) in his hand. He then placed the muzzle of it close to the face of the deceased, and fired. The pistol burst, and the lower part of the face of Fisher was shattered in a frightful manner, and he fell on the floor. The murderer made no attempt to escape ; and on a surgeon, who was passing the house at the time, and was called in, entering the house, he said to him, " That's a dead shot, I'll warrant it." The deceased lingered for about 20 minutes, when he expired. In the meantime the constable of the tillage, who had been sent for immediately upon the commission of the crime, arrived and took the accused into custody, As they were proceeding along the road towards Thornbury, in order to go before the Magistrates, who were then sitting, the prisoner admitted the murder. He said he had had the pistol a month, and for the last four days had had it loaded with powder and marbles (used in this part of the country as a substitute for bul lets by the butchers, who are in the habit of shooting beasts in the head before slaughtering them). He also said he had been looking for the deceased the previous day, and had he found him, would have shot him ; but he could not do so, and seeing him that morning at Thomas's he thought it was a good opportunity to do it. The constable cautioned him to be careful what he said, but he went on to say, " I shall be hanged for it, but I shall die happy, because it is on account of that woman." He also added that he had harboured the thought of killing him in his bosom long before he went for a soldier, and that it was about that woman. The inquest on the body was held this day before J. W. Ellis, Esq., Coroner, and a respectable jury em pannelled at the Swan lan, nearly adjoining the scene of the murder. The facts as before stated, were proved, and wit nesses called of whom the prisoner had purchased pow der and marbles, and also a woman, to whom he had said on the day before that he was looking for William Fisher, and if he could find him be would butcher him. It is thought here that the female referred to by the prisoner is the wife of the deceased, to whom an old twin in the village says the prisoner, before he went for a soldier twenty-nine years since (she being then a mere child of about eleven y ~ r s old, and be about 19) was attached. It is presumed that. be was angered with the prisoner on account of his marriage with this female, and that it was jealousy which led him to the perpe tration of the fatal deed. The prisoner bears an in different character, but the deceased was highly re spected. The Jury, after a lengthened and patient investiga tion of the testimony adduced, returned a verdict of wilful murder against William Weyman. Th e prisoner, who seemed quit e u ncon cerned, was removed to the county jail to await his trial. It is said he had been drinking hard for two or three days, but was not much the worse for liquor at the time. CORN AVERA GEN.

Lord Pahnerston's account of his inter with Baron Brunnow, the Russian Plenipoten- - tiary, relative to the occupation df the Straits of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles by Russia and England. (From the Correspondence presented to both Houses of Parliament.) VISCOUNT PALNIERSTON F T or o ci T g r n iu -offi tM. ce R , Q O UI c S to OLC r L 2 A S7I IC B AZD . MY LORD,—Your Excellency has been already informed, through the Russian Government, of the particulars of the communications which Baron Brunnow was sent hither to make, and of the nature of the answer which her Majesty's Government gave to those communications ; but in order that the details of the negotiation carried on between the Baron and her Majesty's Government may be upon record, I think it right to recapitulate them in this despatch. Baron Brunnow arrived in Loudon on the 15th Sep tember, and left England on the 12th of October ; and during the interval between these two dates, ho had seve ral long conversations with myself, and with other mem bers of her Majesty's Government, upon various matters connected with the relations between Great Britain and Russia. The substance of all his communications on these different matters was extremely satisfactory ; and nothing could be more conciliatory than his manner upon every occasion. He was frank and unreserved in his conversations; and his mission, whatever may he its result, as to the main point upon which it bore, cannot fail to produce beneficial effects upon the relations between the two Governments. Baron Brunnow, on his arrival, stated that the principal purpose for which he was sent hither, was to explain frankly and without reserve, to her Majesty's Government, the views and opinions of the Russian Cabinet upon the affairs now pendii,g in the Leval_t; and ask for an equally candid explanation of the views and opinions of her Majesty's Government. He said, that the Russian Government had been grati- Led at finding that the sentiments of the two Cabinets on these matters, as far as they had been mutually explained, appeared to be so nearly alike ; and he said, that the Russian Government had witnessed, of late, with great satisfaction, evidences, as they conceived, of greater confi dence on the part of the British Government, in the sin cerity and good faith of Russia with regard to the affairs of Turkey ; that the Emperor felt that he deserved that con idence, and was anxious to confirm it by the fullest expla nations, and thus to draw closer the ties between Great Britain and Russia. The Baron said, that the Emperor could take but ore view of the relative positions of the Sultan and Mehemet Ali ; that he looked upon the Sultan as a sovereign who was his ally, and entitled to his support ; and that he con sidered Mehemet Ali as a revolted subject : That he saw that the quarrel between these two might lead to events which might occasion serious differences between the Powers of Europe, and endanger the general peace ; and that he was therefore most anxious that some perma nent arrangement should be made between the two par ties, which would ensure future tranquillity : That his Imperial Majesty was convinced, that if England and Rus sia could come to a clear and full understanding on the matters, the arrangement which they might determine to support would ultimately be carried into effect : That the Russian Government understood that her Majesty's Go vernment were of opinion, that the arrangement best cal culated to prevent future collisions between Mehemet Ali and the Sultan, would be that, which, conferring upon Mehemet Ali the hereditary Pachalic of Egypt, would re store immediately to the direct authority of the Sultan, all the other portions of the Ottoman empire now occupied by the forces, and administered by the authorities, of Me hemet Ali : That the Russian Cabinet entirely concurs in preferring this arrangement, and is perfectly ready to co-operate in carrying it into effect; but that compulsion of some kind might become necessary to induce Mehemet Ali to consent to this plan; and that the Emperor, not choosing to embark in a plan without seeing his way to the execution of it, and not being willing to begin an un dertaking with other parties, without being certain that they had made their minds up to go through with it, in conjunction with him, his Imperial Majesty was desirous, before this arrangement should be proposed to the Sultan and Mehemet Ali, to know what Powers were prepared to concur in the measures which might be necessary in order to carry it into effect. Baron Brunnow then proceeded to discuss those mea sures, and to consider what they might be. He stated that the Russian Government very much approved of the series of coercive measures which had been proposed by her Majesty's Government, namely, the interception of all communication by sea, between Egypt and Syria ; the blockade of the ports of those two provinces; the seizure and detention of all ships under the Egyptian flag; and the occupation of Candle, and its restoration to the direct authority of the Sultan. And he said, that if these mea sures wore taken by a powerful alliance, acting in support of the Sultan's rights, or even if such parties were to inti mate to Mehemet Ali their determination to take such mea sures, should they become necessary, iittle doubt could be entertained that Mehemet Ali would yield to superior force, and would submit to inevitable necessity, But the Baron said there was a contingency connected with these mea sures which could not safely he overlooked. Mehemet Ali had declared, that if coercion were attempted against him, he would immediately order Ibrahim to advance to the shores of the Bosphorus, and to threaten Constantino ple. This might be an empty menace, which perhaps never would or could be put into execution ; but, on the other hand, Mehemet Ali might, in a moment of despera tion, mrlke such an attempt ; and it might be the more likely that he should do so, if he thought such a movement would take the Powers of Europe unprepared, and would create cliitensions among them. Consequently Baron Brunnow said it was of the greatest importance that Eng land and Russia should settle beforehand what should he dove in such an event. That it was clear that the Sultan was ant at present in a state to defend himself against such an attack : his army having been defeated and dispersed, and his fleet having been delivered up to Mehemet Ali. But the Sultan could not be abandoned, and left to be a prey to Ibrahim. That some of the Allies must come to his aid, and that the Em peror tleught that, from local position, Russia was the Power which could most easily afford assistance. That Ibrahim would take about twenty days to march from his present positions to the Bosphorus; and that there would be time enough during that period for a Russian nasal force to occupy the Bosphorus, and for a Russian land force, if necessary, to take post on the Asiatic side of the Strait. Baron Brunnow said that the Russian Government was well aware of the feeling which exists in this country about the Treaty of Unkiar Skelessi, which, whatever may have passed about it, the Emperor nevertheless considers a binding obligation ; but in the present case, the Russian Government proposed that the aid to be given, if necessary, by Russia, to the Sultan, should be given, not in virtue of the separate engagements taken by the Emperor, but in virtue of the engagements about to be entered into be tween the Powers of Europe and the Sultan. That this succour, therefore, would be an act of the Alliance, and not of Russia alone ; that the Russian force would arrive, as the force of the Alliance, and would retire as the force of the Alliance, whenever the purpose for which it cane should have been fully accomplished. He said that the Emperor was perfectly willing that all these matters should be settled by a previous convention between the parties concerned ; that this Convention should define the objects to be attained; should determine the means to be em ployed ; and should assign to each of the co-operating Powers its appropriate share in the execution ; and that the arrangement which, on this matter, he, Baron Brun now, had to propose, was, that all the operations which might become .necessary in Egpyt and Syria, should he undertaken by England, and Austria, and France; and that whatever might be requisite within the Straits, and in Aaia Minor, should be executed by Russia. He said, that with respect to tha Straits of the Bos phorus and Dardanelles. he understood that her Majesty's Government were of opinion, that as a permanent principle and standing rule, the best arrangement would be, that while Turkey is at peace, both of those Straits should be shut against ships of war of all Powers ; and he could as sure me, that the Emperor would bo perfectly ready to agree to such an arrangement, and to consider the Bos phorus as being as much closed against Russian ships of war, as the Dardanelles against the ships of war of other Powers ; and the Emperor would willingly agree, that an Article to this effect should be inserted in the proposed Convention. Baron Brunnow further said, that if England and Russia should happily come to an understanding on these matters; and if such a Convention as he had described, were to be signed, he was authorised to say, that in such case the Emperor would not renew the Treaty of Unkiar Skelessi. The Baron further said, in reply to a question which I put, that the Russian Government did not make the ac cession of France to these arrangements a sine qua non ; and that although the co-operation of France would un doubtedly render the execution more easy, Russia would be perfectly ready to act without Franco, if France could not be persuaded to concur, and if England was willing to go on without her. As soon as it was possible to assemble the Cabinet, a reacting of her Majesty's confidential servants was held, to consider what answer it would be proper to give to these overtures from the Russian Government; and the com munication which thereupon it became my duty to make to Baron Brunnow, was to the following eff ec t I stated, that her Majesty's Government highly appre ciate the friendly sent►ments towards England, which prompted his Imperial Majesty to send Baron Brunnow with the communication with which the Baron had been charged, and that her Majesty's Government derives the highest sa tisfaction from finding that the views and opinions of the two Governments upon the important matters in question were so entirely in accordance. That the Russian Government had justly interpreted the feelings of that of Groat Britain, when it supposed that the British Cabinet repose full confidence in the sincerity and good faith with which Russia is acting in these affairs; and that her Majesty's Government are most anxious to give proofs of that confidence. That her Majesty's Go vernment are ready to adopt the whole arrangement pre posed by Baron Brunnow, with the exception of one single point, upon which I had to propose a. modification, which, without essentially altering the plan, would remove a diffi culty which her Majesty's Government would otherwise find insurmountable. I said that her Majesty's Government continue to think that the only way of preventing future collisions between the Sultan and Mehemet Ali, which might seriously en danger the peace of Europe, was to bring back within the confines of Egypt the state of occupation of Mehemet Ali ; the Sultan at tho time granting to the Pacha, as a compensation for the sacrifice which he would thus make, an hereditary tenure in the Pachalic of Egypt. I said that we continue to be of opinion, that if the Five Powers were to agree to assist the Sultan in imposing this arrange ri:ont upon Mehemet Ali, the latter would, however reluc tant to do so, yield to the force of a confederation which he would know himself unable to oppose, rather than expose himself to . the risk of forfeiting by resistance, those advan tages which proposed a rrangement would afford him. That even if the Lrench Gover nment were i n d uced, by do mestic consideration., to decline bei ng a party to the pro posed Convention, yet if such a Con ven ti on were s i gned ,:d wer e ma d e k nown to Me hemet.by• the i o \ other ,there eFourre seems P cmi. °s, good reas.'n to think, that it would induce him to acquiesce; but that at all events, the means of the Four Powers to enforce the arrangement would be amply sufficient ; and that Great Britzin was prepared to become a party to such an agreement, and to take a share in the execution. I said, that with respect to the Straits of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, Baron Brunnow had rightly understood the opinion of her Majesty's Government; and that this opinion rests upon a general and fundamental principle of the Law of Nations. Every State is considered as hav ing territorial jurisdiction over the sea which washes its shores, as far as three miles from low water mark; and, consequently, any Strait which is bounded on both sides by the territory of the same sovereign, and which is not more than six miles wide, lies within the territorial jurisdiction of that Sovereign. But the Bosphorus and Dardanelles arc bounded on both sides by the territory of the Sultan ; and arc in most parts less than six miles wide ; and conse quently the territorial jurisdiction of the Sultan extends over both of those Straits ; and the Sultan has a right to exclude all foreign ships of war from those Straits, if he should think proper to do so. Now, by the Treaty of 1809, Great Britain acknowledged tail right on the part of the Sultan, and promised to acquiesce in the e Iforee rnent of it ; and it is but just that Russia should take the same engagement; and her Majesty's Government are of opinion, that the exclusion of all foreign ships of war from the two Straits would be more conducive to the mainte nance of peace, than an understanding that the Straits in question should be a general thoroughfare, open at all times to ships of war of all countries. But, I said, her Majesty's Government beim- , willing to acknowledge by treaty, as a general principle, and as a standing rule, that the two Straits should be closed for all foreign ships of war, are of opinion, that if for a par ticular emergency one of these Straits should be opened for one party, the other ought, at the same time, to be opened also for other parties; in order that there should be the same parity between the condition of the two Straits, when open and when shut ; and therefore her Ma jesty's Government would expect, that in that part of the proposed Convention which would allot to each Power its approprir.te share of the measures of execution, it should be stipulated, that if it should become necessary for a Russian force to eater the Bosphorus, a British farce should at the. same time enter the. Dardanelles. I said, that this was no proof of any want of confidence in Russia ; for, in truth, the very fact of the Emperor becoming party to the proposed Convention, would make it impossible for any one to breathe a doubt as to his Imperial Majesty's good faith; and that, as the bulk of the British squadron would probably be required off the coasts of Egypt or Syria, the smallness of the number of ships that could be spared for going up the Dardanelles, would of itself show that their presence, was intended to record a principle and to manifest union, and not to proclaim distrust or to exer cise contt-01. Baron Brunnow expressed great regret at this decision of her 11I4jesty's Government, which must necessarily sus pend for a time the progress of the negotiation ; because his instructions did not provide for this case ; and he should therefore be obliged to refer the question for the decision of his Government, and much valuable time would thereby be lost, which ought to be employed in action. But he pressed me much to consider whether this question might not be put aside, and be reserved for future consideratim, without preventing the two Govern ments from proceeding to act upon other points, with re spect to which they were rgrccd; and he expressed a strong desire that the Allied Powers should make an im mediate demand for the restoration of the Turkish fleet, or for the contemplated territorial arrangement, or for any other thing upon which they might be agreed ; and that if their demand should be refused, they should begin by putting in force those measures of coercion in which they might all concur, leaving the question about the Dar danelles to be settled if, and when, it should arise. I said, that leer Majesty's Government had indeed pro_ posed that the demand for the restoration of the fleet should precede the demand for the territorial arrange ment, and should be made immediately ; because it ap peared to ur, that whatever differences of opinion might exist as to the territorial arrangement, there could be no difference as to the propriety and juitiee of demanding and compelling th-, , restitution of the fleet. But Austria and France were against such a course ; and both recom mended that the que,tion about the fleet should be allowed to merge in the. larger question as to the final arrange ment; and her Majesty's Government had yielded to the wish of those two Powers. But certainly, Austris, Russia, Prussia, and Great Bri tain, being agreed as to the arrangement which ought to be enforced upon Mehemet Ali, might at once, and with out France, if France should be unwilling to join them, call upon Mehemet Ali to submit; and they might begin to execute the progressive measures of coercion, if he should refuse. But in that case, Mehemet Ali might order Ibrahim to march to the Bosphorus; and then would come upon us, in the most inconvenient manner, and with. out our being prepared for it by any previous agreement, the very difficulty which we were at present unable to sAve ; and I said, that unless we should come to a satis factory understanding as to what was to be done in such a contingency, it would not be wise to take steps which might directly tend to make that contingency happen. The Baron, however, still pressed upon me the great anxiety of h:s Government that something should be done ; and the strong conviction of that Government that some act or othtr would become necessary, on the part of scmc of the Powers of Europe, within a very short period of time ; and from himself, but net by any instruction from his Government, he pressed me to submit to the Ca binet, that Great Britain might, by herself, take some pre liminary measures, which, either as demonstrations, or as a commencement of coercion, could not fail to have a de cisive influence on Mehemet Ali. _ I said I knew that, in the present state of things, her Majesty's Government would not begin to act alone in these matters. That we attach very great importance to the attainment of an European concert upon these ques tions ; and that we by no means as yet despair of arriving at such a result, that if it should be found impossible to unite the Five Powers, or a sufficient portion of them, in a common course of action, it would be necessary for the British Government then to consider what it might be fitting for Great Britain to do ; but that till the present negotiations should have come to some conclusion, it would be premature fur her Majesty's Government to take into consideration a contingency which has not yet happened. It was then agreed between Baron Brunnow and my self, that we should each draw up a report of what bad passed between us; he, for the information of his Govern ment ; I, for the information of your Excellency. I was, however, prevented by a heavy and continued pressure of business, from preparing my despatch ; and Baron Brun now's Report, of which he gave me, confidentially, a copy, and of which I herewith inclose a copy, contains so full and so faithful a report of the convey ations to which it relates, that I felt it unnecessary, at the time, to add anything thereto ; and my reason for writing this despatch is, that I am desirous of furnishing your Excellency with a statement which, though less full in detail, embraces a greater range of time. I am, &c,_ (Signed) PALMERSTON. BARON I3RUNNOW TO VISCOUNT PALMERSTON. London, July 3, (15) 1840. My Lord,—The third article of the Convention which we have just signed, anticipates a contingency, and an nounces, in that case, a co-operation concerted in common between our Courts. To carry this intention into effect, in such a manner as to avoid the delays which distance from the spot m i g h t occasion, I have the honour to request you, my Lord, t o have the goodness to enable me to apprise the Imperial Cabinet of the extent of the succour which her Britannic Majesty's Government would have it in its power to place at the disposal of his Highness the Sultan, for the accom plishment of the object which the Courts who have signed the Convention of this day, aim at obtaining, in the com mon interest of the preservation of the Ottoman Empire. Receive, &c., (Signed) BRUNNO W. VISCOUNT PALMERSTON TO BARON BRCNNOW. Foreign-office, July 15, 1840. M. le Baron,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of this day's date, and entirely agree with you that, in the present state of things, and considering the distances which separate our respective Courts from the places where the measures mentioned in Article 111. of the Con vention of this day would be carried into effect, it is desira ble that we should at once conic to an understanding as to the co-operation stipulated fur in that Article. Recent events in Syria have indeed rendered it less likely than ever that Ibrahim should venture to march upon Constantinople, but, nevertheless, we ought to be prepared for such a contingency. There can be no doubt that if such a case were to arise the Russian Government would be able, from its disposa ble means in the Black Sea, to send to the Straits of the Bosphorus a sufficient succour either of land or of naval forces, according to the nature of the case, for the defence of the Sultan ; and it is not therefore fur the purpose of completing a force which would otherwise be deficient, that the British contingent would be sent. But it has been wisely judged by all the parties to the Convention which we have this day signed, that we should best promote the great o bj ects o f European policy which we all bay,: in view, by so arrang i n g the execution of every part of our measures, th a t we s hould in every step of our progresa give manif es t an d indisputable proofs of our union and mutu a l con fid enc e; a nd in this view o f t h e matter it becomes of great importance that a British force should co-operate with the Russian force in the contingency provided for by the Third Article of the Convention. But the amount of naval force which we could spare for such a purpose, must necessarily be limited by a considera tion of the aggregate amount of our squadron in the Medi terrane..:n, and of the oth er services which that squadron will have to perform; and I had occ as i on to make known to your Court, by a despatch which I addressed to Lord Clanrielrde in October last, that in such a case we should be able to send but a small number of ships to the Dar danelles and Sea of Marmora. 1 have now communicated upon this matter with Lord PRIVATE TUTOR.

The Sud of Marseilles, in its Levant correspondence, has some further details concerning the affairs of Candia, and states that, on the sth ult.. the Consuls of England, France, Austria, Russia, and Greece, met at the Gover ncr's residence, and drew up the following resolutions We, the undersigned Consuls, in the presence of Capt. John Laurence, of her Britannic Majesty's ship Hastings, called upon by his Excellency Mustapha Pacha, Governor of Candia, and in his presence, to consult on the measures to be taken on the subject of the emigrant Candiotes, and the inhabitants who have joined them in arms, have re solved :—Two of us shalt go without delay and bring in English ships such among the emigrants as form the Epitropi (commissioners). They shall be informed that the Governments of the undersigned entirely disapprove of their arrival in Candia, and that all those of the coun try who have answered their appeal must lay down their arms. The emigrants must deliver themselves up to the British Commander to be placed on board a ship ap pointed by Mustapha Pacha, in which they shall remain at Suda, under the protection of the British tl.g, until orders shall be received from Constantinople ; or, if they prefer it, they shall quit the island immediately. His Excel lency Mustapha Pach4 promises pardon to such of the in habitant; as shall lay down their arms, and a safe conduct to all such emigrants as shall submit. He will also give sate conduct for the departure and raturn of the Epibopi, who must quit the country with the ether emigrants. In case these persons should not submit, the Commandants and consuls shall prepare a proclamation in order to make publicly known their disapprobation, after which the Pasha vitt be at liberty to take measures as he may think fit. This proclamation shall be submitted to the approval of Captain Sir David Dunn, who is detained on board his ship by indisposition. This procea verbal has been drawn up at the residence of the Pacha, by the undersigned, th i 6th M arch, 1 84 1 . " 11. S. ONGLEY, English Consul. J. B. CHARPENTI ER, French Consul. J.

THE BRITISH QUEEN STEAM- SHIP. Extract of a letter from a passenger on board the British Quen, outward bound : " HALIFAX, MONDAY, MARCH 29. " The date of my letter will a little surprise you. Yet we are not arrived, but if the present wind and sea continue wo shall be at Halifax to-morrow. Nineteen days and nights have I passed since I left Portsmouth, full of heart and hoalth and hope. For two or three of these days all went stuoothly, but alas ! for the ten or eleven following, never shall I forget them. Our lee paddles or floata; from some accident or mismanagement, began to drop off daily, until on the 16.1 i inst , not one of them remained upon that wheel. At this period Providence gave us exactly six hours' calm, during which we took half the paddles from the starboard, and fixed them to the larboard wheel. That night we bad a hurricane which scarcely ceased or mode rated for 220 hours. The steam power of the ship crippled, as she was, was totally inadequate to the size of her and the storm. We rolled helplessly in the mighty billows. Every sail was split into rags, and we were completely at the mercy of the waves. Oh I it was an awful time ! I went not to bed for several nights, and hed not my clothes off for many. My deck berth I was afrail to remain in. I sat up in the main saloon. The rolling of the huge mass was terrific. From beamcnd to bcamend the watery mountains } itched her with fearful violence. Her paddle-boxes and wheels alone brought her up ; but how her timbers shook 1 Her sides rebounded, her bulkheads cracked, her rudder thumped, while the row' jag cf the storm was beard above all. One of our officers was iajuted ; anodicr was ill. The crew could hardly bear tne weather, and were lashed. I, in the meanwhile, was in a nervous state of terror, thoagh the world saw it not. We ought to have pushed for Fayal when our floats disappeared—say when we were five or six days out. I hinted this to the captain, but he pressed onwards into the great Atlantic, until the violence of the storm and size of the waves rendered it unsafe to scud before the wind, and our only chance was to face it with half- paddle power., The consequence was, wo were twice (each time for four or five hours) in the trough of the sea without steerage way, and as helpless as a raft- Nothing saved us but the prodigious strength and huoyancy of our noble ship, which only wants 150 more horse power to make her uuconquerable. However, the danger is I hope now passed. The wind is light, the sea smooth, wo are past Sable Island, and within eighteen hours of Ha lifax at our present sailing, seven knots—all she can do. We have some six or sevem days' coal left, but arc prepared for another storm on a lets shore, and go in to refit and refuel. It will probably be a week more cre we reach New York—twenty-six days. " Wednesday, March 31. t, W e got on shore last night, after a most disagreeable day, dreadfully cold and gale from N. W., with a snow storm, which covered our ship with ice and froze every thing in our rooms. We have no fires on board, and some are frostbitten. To-day the sun is shining, and I have been somo hours wandering about this miserable to - au. We leave tc-night at six or seven o'clock, hoping by that time to have our paddles ready and coal in. We have some seventy passengers of all kinds and nations, principally Germans. A motley uninteresting group they are. The fore-cabin have been let loose upon the aft passengers, and turned the saloon into a bear gar den. The race of this line of steamers is run. I bay° done with them for ever. It has been a miserable passage." SCOTTISH BANKING SYSTEM. We understand that a numerous and respectable meeting of Bankers, Managers, and Representatives of the Scotch Banks, was held in the Royal Hotel, :on Friday last, in consequence of a co mmunication from the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee, now sitting, that two witnesses from Scotland would be exa mined on the Scottish System of Banking ; one to be sent by the Chartered Banks, and another by the Pro vincial Banks. The meeting adopted certain resolutions, explanatory of the existing system in Scotland, which, we under stand are to be printed and c irculated. The ge n tl e _ men present were unanimous in their sentiments as t o the excellency of the present system, and the d anger to the agricultural and commercial interests of the country wou tn that would ensue by the rash i ntroduction o f any change. Considering th e momentous nature of the subject now under consi deration of the P arliamentary Com mittec, the meeting agreed that it ex pedient i to rn a c pr t % a to d L ep on u d ta o t n io , n to of communicate be b number proceed m the Committee, and to give such evid e n c e as may be necessa ry. highlyum with rto theexpediency currency of we are informed that on e , if not t h e pr i nc ip a l object no w under the consid era ti on o f the S e l ect C omm itt e e, is the esttaobltishe UnitedhingoneßKaninkgodfomls.suevifoer supplying can hardly belie ve t h at t h ere i s any ser ious intention is the majority of the Committee of establishing such a Burk of Issue, as the danger and impolicy of interfering with the present system must be evident to all who are acquaint e d with the Scottish Banking, and appreciate the benefits which the country has derived from it.— Edinburgh Advertiser. men, Oi o f iN t l h o e n daynight, names.f L a o t e k n e e , a r a n t a w ele o' Warren, vco b ck aa , bee t w o tt s p en di n g the day" after their own fashion. They re sidel at Peckham, and came from the Kent- roa d b y the Canal House. Over that bridge they passed safely; but when they arrived near the next bridge, over the Peckham branch, Locker walked into the canal. Warren, it seems, w as not able to render mush useful assistance, but ran to the Canal House, a distance of nearly a quarter of a mile, and from which place the drags were brought, and, after nearly an hour's delay, the body was got out. It is need less to add, life was quite extinct. The place where this occurred is most dangerous to any one p a ssing by, an d, un less they be well acquainted with the pathway, the chances are that that they will fall into the canal.
