LEVANT MAIL. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 7.—We are without any further advices from the Turco-Persian frontier. The reports of battles and skirmishes, of which so much has been said, prove to be exaggerations, or totally unfounded; and it is the universal opinion that the differences existing between the two Governments will be speedily terminated through the mediation of Russia. It is probable that a . mixed commission, under the arbitration of the Porte's allies will be formed, and that the boundary question will in due time be settled to the satisfaction of all parties. It is generally believed at the Porte that the present Grand Izzet Mehemet, will be appointed Oulou Seraskier, or Generalissimo of the active army—not because there is any prospect of that army being seriously engaged, but because it is desired to get rid of Izzet Mehemet in an honourable manner. The unanimous opinion is, that Kosrew will be appointed locum tenens of the Vizier at first, and, subsequently, that he will be confirmed in the office of Sadrazan. These nominations are said to be dependent upon the accouchement of one of the Sultan's wives, which event is expected to take place every hour. If it occurs this day, it will be regarded as peculiarly for tunate. This being the new moon, and one of the seven holy nights, it is looked upon with peculiar veneration by Moslems. It is held sacred in honour of the conception of the Prophet, and children born between sun-set and dawn are supposed to be produced under the most fortunate conjunctions. The conference that took place on the 3d, between the British Envoy and Reis Effendi, is said to have terminated by . Sir S. Canning having declared, in the name of his Government, that England was resolved not to submit to any further infractions of the com mercial treaty, either in the shape cf monopolies or other evasions both of the letter and spirit of that con vention. Sir Stratford is also understood to have con certed measures with Sarim Effendi for the preven tion of further acts of piracy committed by the bands of Albanians upon the coast of the lonian Islands. Both these subjects, directly affecting the material in terests of GI-eat Britain, are fit subjects for the Am bassador's attention. It would have been more ad vantageous had these matters been taken vigorously in hand at an earlier period, in lieu of our wasting our time and our influence in philanthropic and un profitable discussions relating to Syria. Nothing more is said upon the latter question. The Five Powers seem to be unanimous at last : they ap pear to have come to a general determination to allow the subject to fall into abeyance. The Augs burg Gazette, one of whose correspondents has con stantly preached a crusade against the Ottoman Go vernment, turns round and•abeses the English Go vernment for not giving in to this impolitic and in consistent speculation, If the Austrians are so eager for coercive meazures, let them undertake the mea sure alone. We have committed errors enough in this business. It is time that we should seek to turn the tables Upon those whose only object has been to mystify our Ambassador, and delude our Govern ment—an object in which, unfortunately, Russia, France, and Austria have but too well succeeded. The Ottoman Government has not returned any reply to the last note of M. Mavrocordato, nor is it likely that any satisfactory reply will be sent. When the memorandum containing the specific alterations in the Zogrophos treaty, and promised by M. Alavro cordato, shall have been put in, the Porte will be able to judge how far it can proceed to negotiate with any prospect of success. For the present, the question is as far removed from solution as it was prior to the nomination of the Greek Envoy. The health of the Internuncio improves daily. lie will, nevertheless, quit this place on leave upon the Ist of September. Among the English travellers recently arrived here are Captain Percy (Grenadier Guards), and Sir A. Macdonald, Fusilier Guards ; they will proceed by land to Brousa, through Troas and Smyrna, and thence to Syria and Egypt. Lady Davy leaves this place this afternoon, by the French steamer, for Malta and Italy. The Ottoman Government is at length becoming sensible of the importance of providing itself with a steam fleet. It is understood that Salib Bey, who is at the head of the steam department of the arsenal, is about to proceed to England, in order to purchase, or order three war-steamers, Stromboli class. It is in tended that the vessels shall be completely built and finished in England, this being considered more ex peditious and economical than to trust to their piece meal construction at this place. It is proposed to augment the Ottoman steam fleet.by degrees to ten vessels, six Stromboli class, and four others of some what smaller dimensions. The sailing fleet in com mission will be proportionately diminished. This measure, which has been proposed by Tahir Pacha, will be a means of great economy and utility to the country. The Vanguard, Cambridge, and Phosnix have quitted Besika Bay, and are at anchor at Smyrna. MALTA, AUG. 15. DISTRIBUTION OF THE BRITISH MEDI- TER RAN EAN FLEET. SHIPS IN PORT.—The Queen, 110, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir E. W. C. R. Owen, Com mander-in-Chief; Howe, 120, bearing the flag of Sir F.

The Formidable, 84, Jasseur, 16, and Lizard steam tender, are at Gibraltar; the Thunderer, 84, at Cadiz; the Belvidera, 38, on the south coast of Spain ; the Scout, 18, at Zante ; the Cyclops steam-frigate at Alexandria; the Inconstant, 36, and Vesuvius, war steamers, at Beyrout ; the Phoenix war steamer at the Dardanelles ; the Vanguard, 80, and Cambridge, 78, at Besika Bay ; the Magicienne, 24, on her Way to Smyrna; the Stromboli war steamer at Constan tinople ; the Beacon and Magpie, surveying vessels, at Port Naussia, in th e i s l an d o f aros ; and the Alecto steam-packet on her way to Gibraltar with the inter mediate mails .or England. MOVEMENTS.— (Since the sth of August.)—The Magicienne sailed from Malta on the Bth for Smyrna, calling on her way at Paros, to convey supplies to the Beacon and Magpie. The Savage arrived from Tunis on the 12th, and early on the same morning the Poly phemus from Marseilles, bringing the London over land mail of the 4th for India, with-which the (Great) Liverpool, which also arrived from England and Gibraltar on the 12th, went on to Alexandria on the morning of the 13th. The Medea arrived from An cona on the 12th, but having communicated between Corfu and Zante with the Scout, she will be subject to a quarantine o five days. " The Iberia contract steamer, Lieutenant F. H. Stevens, R.N., in charge of the mails, arrived on the same day from the lonian Islands and Patras, and left on her return this after noon. It is stated that, after the present trip, the Queen's steamers will take up this line, as the con tract has been a very losing one ; and, we understand, the Peninsular and Oriental Company purpose trying the Iberia on th Constantinople line, touching at Syra, Athens, Smyrna, and Mytelene, making her first trip from Malta on the 15th of September. It is also contemplated to extend the line to Trebizond, where Austrian and Ottoman steamers are now reap ing a rich harvest. The Hecate from Beyrout, Alex andria, Candia, and Corfu, arrived on the 13th ; and the Locust, from Tripoli, in Barbary, yesterday ; the -Alecto left this afternoon for Gibraltar, with the in termediate mail for England ; the Vernon is under sailing orders for Beyrout, to relieve the Inconstant, which vessel will be shortly ordered to England. L'Aigle is destined for the lonian islands station, where the presence of a row guard is necessary to put a stop to.the acts of barratry and piracy, which have been frequent thereabouts of late, and it is reported that it is in contemplation to build and fit out some gun boats at Malta, to cruize in the same sea for a like purpose, as well as to look out for slavers. A slaver has been taken at Previsa, and carried into Corfu. Lieutenant Waghorn's steamer, Little Nile, left this on the 1 1 th, in tow of, the Austrian brig Monte Maggiore, engaged to take her up as far as Candia, as she is unable to stow a sufficiency of fuel for the whole voyage to Alexandria, and it is not likely that she could meet with any at any of the p orts of Candia. Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Owen ~ iontinues the exercising of the boats of the fleet both i n rowing and sailing, and such is his anxiety to have • :hem perfection itself, that he is even personally pre vent at four o'clock in the morning, attended by Rear- Admiral Sir F. Mason and the Captains of the fleet. The crew of the Queen unexpectedly beat to divisions ~ ) ne day last week, at nine o clock at night, by way of exercising them to be always on the alert. It is aid to he the Commander-in-Chief's intention to carry :he fleet to Sea immediately the Queen gets fitted with :t new fore-tonsail-yard, which it is reported will be .tut of hand to-morrow night. It is supposed that, tlit; last, the cruise will not extend beyond ., Cape .eassar.), in Sicily. The French war-steamer I ulton ut into Malta fOr coals, on the Bth, bound from Tou on to the Levant, where she is intended to relieve - he Acherol, attached to Admiral De La Susse's - quadron. `:he proceeded on her voyage on the 10th. ibe Vanguard and Cambridge are still in the Levant, nd will provably drop down, with the French fleet, o the coast of Syria, where matters are yet in a state ,f anarchy and confusion. The Prometheus will con vey at the close of the month, to Marseilles, the overland .tndia mail and despatches for England. The Austrian of war Tritone arrived from Venice and Rovigno the 10th, and continues in port. She has a num ber of cadets on board. The Danish frigate Thetis is bourly looked for from Smyrna and Alexandria. PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.—Lieut.. West .ss arrived from England to join the Magicienne, and Lieutenant Aire to join the Queen. Lieutenant .t:?rederick Hildebrand Stevens has been selected by the Commander-in-Chief to do the . duty p ro t em . of sent i n thargw e ma il s i n the Iber ia contract steamer . --- running between Malta, the lonian Islands, and Greece. Lieutenant Lloyd (additional) of the Queen removed to the Vernon. Messrs. Wilson and Strong. mates, have arrived from England, and joined the Queen. Mr. Giles, master of the Queen has been in valided, and . Mr. Giles, purser of the Indus, likewise. Mr. Norcock, senior clerk in the office of the Secre tary of the Commander-in-Chief, is appointed acting purser of the Devastation, vice Grant, appointed to the Vernon, in lieu of Palmer appointed to the Indus, in the vaca ncy o f Gil es, invalided. ' - Dr. M'Arthur, surgeon of the Howe, having ob tained six months' leave, owing to ill health, his duti es will be performed by Mr.i Elliott, surgeon of the De vastation. Senior Assistant-Surgeon Campbell, of the Queen, to be Acting Surgeon of the Devastation, and Assistant-Surgeon Gruggen, of the Impregnable, to he Assistant-Surgeon of the Devastation. Mr. Dixon, volunteer of the first class, is removed from the H owe t o L'Ai g l e, an d Mr. olmes to the Howe, and E. Walsh to the Cambridge. CASE OF SLAVERY.—The master of a small lonian vessel belonging to Cerigo, chartered at Candia to convey a Turkish Aga, six other Ott oman ma l es , an d three females (d escr ib e d as servants), to Previsa, hav ing, during his passage, discovered that he was un knowingly carrying slaves, revealed the circumstance to the British Consul as soon as he reached his desti nation, when the latter immediately forwarded infor mation thereof to the Government of the lonian Islands, which forthwith dispatched a public scampavia to capture the vessel. She returned to Corfu on the 7th of August, bringing the vessel, one Turkish pas senger, and the three female slaves, the Aga and the five other passengers being ashore at the time of the seizure, but their fire-arms were found on board. The unfortunate women, who are natives of Upper Egypt, were in a complete state of nudity, and co vered with filth and vermin. It is said that the owner had been already in treaty for the sale of them for 2,000 piastres (or about 181.), but whether at this rate per head, or all three together, is not clearly understood. It is f eare d th a t muc h of this trade is being carried on in the Mediterranean, and it would be well for the British Government to license some one of the many steamers of war in the Mediterra nean to cruise expressly for this laudable purpose. Ship loads of Arabs are frequently met with, having papers describing them as hajjis or pilgrims, going to or returning from Mecca, which is a very happy means of eluding suspicion. PREDICTED REVOLUTION AT MESSINA. Letters from Messina mention that a rumour having been spread in that city, that during the approaching festival of the Centenario, a torrent of blood would be shed, such a panic had come over the entire popula tion, that the police traced the matter to the authors of it, who result to be a couple of French nuns passing through Messina. On being questioned, they admit ted having made the assertion, and declared that they did so by Divine inspiration, whereup on th e Commis sary of Police put them into a carriage and conducted • them to the House of Correction, by way of more effectually providing against their takingl any measures for making good their prophecy. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, August 24. JENKINSON V. PARKIN. This was an action for a breach of promise of mar riage. Dundas and Mr. Watson were for the plaintiff Mr. Wortley for the defendant. It appeared that the defendant, who is a cattle dealer, and possessed, besides, of some smsll landed property, became acquainted, about ten years ago, with the plaintiff, about his own age, residing with her mother at a place called Lee-green, near Leeds. Both parties were then about twenty years of age, of the same station in life, and in all respects apparently well suited for each other. The lady, also, had some little property of her own. The defendant proposed, and was accepted, but the marriage was postponed for some time on the ground that the defendant's mother did not approve of his marrying at that time. The courtship, however, went on, and about 18 months ago the defendant bought the wedding ring, which he gave to the plaintiff, expressing his wish that the wedding should soon take place. On the 19th January, the day was at last fixed for the Wednesday followmg, a wed ding dress was prepared, and the plaintiff's friends at tended at her mother's house, where the party was to breakfast, and whence they were to go to Leeds for the celebration of the marriage. The expected bride groom, however, came not, nor did he make his ap pearance for some days, when he alleged as an excuse for disappointing his bride that he had some sheep to look after, and thought the wedding would do as well on another day. Within a fortnight, however, he married another person—a Miss Fanny Hardisty, a lady 19 years of age, who had, it would seem, both money, youth, and beauty to recommend her, with the further claim upon the defendant of being the mother of a child of which, she alleged, he was the father, and being then pregnant of a second. After the marriage the defendant, in an interview with the plaintiff, admitted the impropriety of his conduct, and offered 1001. and all expenses as a compensation. She, however, referred him to her attorney, in whose hands the matter had been placed. There was not, it was admitted on all hands, the slightest imputation on her character. Mr. Wortley addressed the Court in mitigation of damages ; and Lord Denman having summed up, the Jury returned a verdict for 1001. Oeorge Bulling, and William Hare were indicted for a highway robbery from the person of John Lee, at the same time using personal violence. Sir J. Lewin and Mr. Raines for the prosecution ; Mr. Overend for the prisoner Butling. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor, that on the 25th June last, late at night, he was re turning from Beverley to Hull, when he was met by two men, one of whom immediately struck him over the eye, inflicting a considerable wound, and closed with him. The second man pinioned him behind, and put a hand over his mouth. The one who first struck him then rifled his pockets, and that person he recog nised to be the prisoner Butling. The other prisoner he could not identify, but observed, as they left him, that he was a tall man, and that the buttons on the back of his fustian jacket were white in the moonlight. He went on towards Hull, and gave an alarm. The parties whom he met went in pursuit, and a short distance beyond the place where the prosecutor was robbed apprehended Butling, whose dress corresponded with that which the prosecutor had described. He had a bundle under his arm, with which he wished to be allowed to go home, and which proved to be Hare's jacket, which he had been seen wearing a very'short time before, and which had buttons on the back such as the prosecutor had described. Hare was appre hended going into Leeds, about one' o'clock the next morning, without a jacket. Further evidence was given to show that the prisoners had been in the immediate neighbourhood where the prosecutor was robbed a very short time before, and that they had changed a part of their dress, apparently for the pur pose of disguise. A number of other minute parti culars were detailed, tending to show the participation in the offence. The prisoners were convicted, and sentenced to be transported for 15 years. IRELAND. DUBLIN, AUG. 24.—1 t is this day stated, on high authority, that an official intimation has been made to Mr. Devonsher Jackson that he is to be elevated to the Puisne Judgeship in the Common Pleas, vacant by the demise of Mr. Justice Foster ; and a similar notification has been made to Mr. T. B. C. Smith, Queen's Counsel, announcing his appointment as Soli citor-General in succession to Mr. Jackson. MELANCHOLY EVENT.—LOss OF LIFE.---.AH oc currence, attended with fatal consequences, took place on Monday in a field above the weirs, on the river Lee, by which three fine boys lost their lives, and the lives of eight or nine other boys are seriously endangered. About the middle of the day more than 100 boys, in mates of the Foundling Hospital, were taken out with the view of enjoying a run in the fields in the outlets of the city. They were accompanied by one of the masters of the house, remarkable for steadiness of conduct, and by the drill master of the hospital. They proceeded up the Dyke, and to one of the fields on the banks of the Lee, where they amused them selves for some time. During their stay in the field some of the boys, unknown to their conductors, came across a poisonous herb, £thusa Cynapium, corn• monlv called " Fool's Parsley, or Lesser Hemlock," of which they eat freely. The boys, after a little time, were formed, as usual, into procession, and marched back to town ; but while returning by the Dyke several of them were seized with convulsions. The master became alarmed, and made inquiry whether they had eaten anything. Being answered in the affirmative, it occurred to him that it must be of a poisonous character, and he instantly ran to town for cars in which to convey the sufferers for medical relief. Two of the boys were taken to the dispensary, where every means that medical skill could suggest were adopted, but without success. Two more of the boys were conveyed to the North Infirmary, when medical assistance was instantly afforded, and with The remainder of them were taken to the success. Foundling hospital, and placed under the treatment of 1)r. Evanson, physician to the establishment ; not withstanding which, however, one of them died some time after. Dr. D. B. Bullen also attended at the Foundling Hospital, and rendered every assistance in his power. Several of the Governors of the hos pital visited the boys during the evening. Monday night the remainder of the boys were progressing favourably.—Cork Constitution. AWFUL THUNDER - STORM. FERMOY.—About midnight of Thursday last a thunder-storm burst over the town of . Fermoy, which exhibited the most terrific properties of that awful phenomenon, without, however, doing . more injury than arousing all from their slumbers, and exciting, as the constitution of each mind might be, fear, sub limity, or sacred devotion to that Omuipotent Being THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 27, 1842. by whose will all nature is controlled. The night being very dark rendered the flashes of lightning more vivid, and it was rather remarkable that every clap of the threatening thunder was preceded, not by one, but by three, and sometimes four or five distant flashes of lightning, following each other in rapid succession. CoßK.—The thunder of Thursday night has cleared the atmosphere. On Saturday we had some rain, and on Sunday a few showers, but, with these excep tions, the weather has been most favourable. Yes terday was beautifully bright and warm, and the farmer was busy with his harvest. We are sorry to find that there was some damage done by the light ning. A poor man named Dennis Donoghue, of Drishanebeg, near Mill-street, had a cow killed ; the udder was literally torn off, and the belly opened: On the same occasion three cows were killed belong ing to a farmer living at Donoughmore-cross.—Cork Constitution. BALLYMENA.—On Friday evening last this town and neighbourhood were visited with a terrific thunder storm, accompanied with broad and intensely vivid flashes of lightning, and the atmosphere appeared heavily surcharged with electricity. About eight o'clock, P.M, the rain commenced to descend in tor rents, and the awful artillery of the heavens opened with trashing, reverberating, and tremendous peals, 'sufficient to appal the stoutest heart. It continued fir the space of about half an hour • and persons who have visited the East and witnessed the tornados of the tropics, declare that in the whole course of their expe rience, they have met with nothing, in any climate, exceeding its sublimity. Peal .succeeded peal with frightful rapidity, and the flashes were almost simul taneous with the reports. Several respectable inha bitants were struck down, and two persons in parti cular remained insensible, and apparently without animation, for the space of or twelve minutes, but ultimately recovered under medical treatment. The electric fluid entered the roof of a dwelling-house, passing through several apartments, shattering some of the furniture and doing considerable damage to the building, but the inmates, though dreadfully alarmed, escaped without serious injury.— Ulster Times. THE DISTURBED DISTRICTS. BIRMINGHAM, Thursday Evening. We are all tranquil here, but still under we know not what sort of apprehensions. The meeting last night of the Chartists was dispersed by the police, and the parties travelled out of the town some two or three miles, to a place called Yardley, where they held a meeting, and resolved upon persevering for the at tainment of the Charter. There was a tolerably large number of the body present, but they did not, in their route to or from the meeting, commit any depreda tions. The police followed them, and on their arrival the crowd gave way, and marched to Birmingham after the police, hissing and hooting them. The authorities were on the alert, and assisted by Colonel Thorn, the commander of the district, had made every necessary preparation for securing the peace of the borough, should any attempt be made to disturb it. Two men were taken up for an assault upon one of the policemen at Duddleston row, and this morning were fined at the Police-office thirty shillings each and costs, and for non-payment were committed to gaol for one month. The pen sioners are on duty at the police-office, and no relaxa tion on the part of the Magistrates has taken place. The surrounding district is tranquil, but the differ ences between the masters and men remain unsettled. This morning some men went down into the pits at Oldbury, but they were assailed by a large body. The cavalry drove them away, and the men continue at work under their protection. The Chartists have announced their intention to meet again to-night on the ground from whence they were dispersed last evening; but there is at present no appearance of a muster taking place. Indeed, the affair may be said to be over in Birmingham for the present ; and if the colliers were once more safe down in their pits, there would be no likelihood of further occasion for alarm, at least at present. The yeomanry were in time to prevent the turn-outs at Oldbury from driving away the men who went down to work this morning, and they are still in the pits. By an unaccountable mistake in a quarter where we might have expected accurate information, it was stated yesterday that White was arrested. He is still at large. STOCKPORT, Thursday Morning, Nine o'clock. All the cotton mills in this town are yet closed, and, at present, there appears no prospect of the turn out being brought to a termination. The town re mains quite peaceable since the Magistrates' procla mation. A troop of yeomanry cavalry and a company of the 72d Foot,l eft this town yesterday, to protect the cotton-mill of Mr. Cooper, of Bosden, which again resumed work, after having been stopped, and the hands forcibly driven out by a party of turn-outs from this town on Tuesday. Up to this time no communication has taken place between the opera tives and their employers. Yesterday upwards of 400 41b. loaves were distributed to the turn-outs, provided from 101. worth of flour, given by a shop keeper named Hall, of Macclesfield, and from money obtained by the turn-cuts by means of intimidation, whilst stopping mills at Styal, Wilmslow, and else where. WIGAN AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. WEDNESDAY EVENING.AII is peaceable in this town at present. The whole of the mills have re sumed work, but disturbance is apprehended more from the hand-loom weavers (a numerous class in this town) and the colliers, than from the factory hands. The mills at Hindley and at Ince are still at a stand. In Westhoughton, Leigh, and all the neigh bourhood, peace is restored. PRESTON. COMMITTAL OF THIRTEEN TURT-OUTS. On Tuesday last a number of the hands employed by Messrs. Ainsworth, as cotton-spinners, suddenly left their work and demanded an advance of wages. Thirteen of them were yesterday brought before the Magistrates, at the Town-hall, they having been ap prehended on a charge of leaving their work without giving the usual notice. They then sentenced each to one month's imprisonment in the House of Correc tion. With this exception all is quiet, and work ge nerally resumed. with hawking meat about the streets on the 25th ult.— Fined ls., and costs. Several other cases were allowed to be settled ou of Court. MONDAY, AUG. 22. (Before the same Magistrates.) Mary Davies, of Pontyshorehouse, an unfortunate, was charged by John Thomas, engineer, Aberdare, for stealing from his person half a sovereign, and 10s. in silver, on the night of the 21st inst.—Discharged for want of evidence. TUESDAY, AUG. 23. (Before G. R. Morgan, Esq., and Rev. C. Maybery.) James Harries, labourer, and Edmund Rees, collier, were charged with stealing apples from the garden of Mr. Jenkins Rhys, of Aberdare, on the night of the 22d inst.—Fourteen days of hard labour in Cardiff House of Correction. CARLISLE, Wednesday, Aug. 24. Considerable excitement prevailed during last night, and it was announced that the hatters and the stone masons had joined the strike. This morning matters have assumed a more threatening appearance. All the mills. in Carlisle, with the exception of two, have now stopped work, and at about eleven o'clock a numerous body of turn-outs, amounting, it is said, to five or six hundred men, proceeded towards the factory of Messrs. Rothwell and Co., with the avowed intention of forcing the workmen there to join the movement. As they marched in procession through the town the greatest excitement existed. The yeomanry had just returned to their quarters, after the morning pa rade, when they were again summoned to duty, and proceeded, under the directions of the Magistracy, on the road which the turn-outs had taken. It happened fortunately, however, that their services were not re quired. The mob had been met by George Head, Esq., of Nickerby, and, yielding to his remonstrances, were induced to forego their intention of proceeding to the factory. The Magistrates, however, have taken effectual means to prevent the persons peaceably engaged there from being molested or intimidated, and a company of the 66th bas been stationed in the factory for their protection. As yet the people are quiet, but the number of disaffected operatives have considerably in creased, and those who have the opportunity of know ing their feelings speak of the dangers of to-night. A great commotion has just been caused by the arrival of some prisoners from Wigton. It appears that last night, about eleven o'clock, some serious rioting took place in that town. The military were pelted by the mob, and all the windows of the prin cipal inns were smashed. Lieut. Blunt, of the 66th, was dangerously wounded on the head by the blow of a stone, and it became necessary to have the Riot Act read before the tumult was in any way checked. Several of the rioters were then taken, and three of them have already arrived in custody, having been committed to Carlisle gaol. Others are also expected. So great was the excitement of the populace along the line of road by which the prisoners passed, that it was deemed expedient to protect their arrival by a large body of special constables, a troop of yeomanry and a company of foot. This had the effect of intimi dating the mob, and the prisoners were safely lodged in gaol. Large parties continue to beg in the neighbourhood of the town, and levy large contributions. In many places they have compelled labourers, even in the country, to leave their work ; and have turned out many of the men engaged on the Maryport and Car lisle Railway. Some Chartist delegates from Manchester were secretly in the town yesterday, and left this morning by railway for Newcastle, in company with another one of the leaders of the Carlisle Chartists, who re cently figured as chairman at meetings in Manchester. It is rumoured that the Newcastle colliers intend to strike. Business of all kinds is nearly at a stand in Carlisle. The turn-outs are quite destitute, and we understand already complain of hunger, but they evince no disposition to return to their work.

Major-General Sir Henry Walton has taken Sir John Humphrey's villa for two months. Lord Fitz hardinge is entertaining Lord Lennox and a large party of gentlemen at Gothic Hall. The Earl of Errol is still at Castle Terrace ; Sir James Graham's lady and family at Grantham House; Sir Bellingham Graham and family at Harriet Lodge ; Sir Edward Paget and family at the Castle ; Lady Elizabeth Hope Vere at Norfolk llouse ; the Earl and Countess Ches terfield at Prospect House; the Countess Dowager of Listowel at Oakhill House ; Lady Paulet at White Rose Cottage; the Hon. C. E. Law at Cannon House; Lady Poore at 4th Cottage ; Earl of Belmore at 6th Cottage ; John Congreve, Esq., at 7th Cottage ; Lord Rokeby at Bth Cottage ; the Countess of Darnley at Beach Willa ; Lady de Horsey and Lady Stradbrook at Debourn Lodge; indeed the town is much fuller of company than it commonly is at this season, and when the bathing season commences (September and Oc tober), it is eipected to be as full as ever remembered. PUBLIC MORALITY- A PICTURE OF THE TORIES DRAWN BY ONE OF THEIR OWN PARTY. It is with no little reluctance that we notice in this part of our paper a subject so entirely disgusting as the trial of one Nicholas Suisse, valet to the late Mar quis of Hertford, on the suspicion of having stolen coupons to the amount of 100,000 francs. But there are peculiarities about the result of the case which ought not to be passed over in silence, though they oblige us to recapitulate some of the most humiliating parts of the evidence which was yesterday laid before the public. This man, Nicholas Suisse, being put on his trial, was defended by Mr. Thesiger, who brought witnesses to show both the probability and the fact that the money had been given to Suisse by the Marquis— witnesses who, in the words of the 'Learned Counsel, " had known the prisoner for many years, and would give him the highest character for honesty and integrity." One of these witnesses, a woman of the name of the name of Borel, or Bourelle, who had been mistress—or rather a mistress of the Marquis's —for seven or eight years, "since the age of 16," deposed, with another woman of the name of Dubois, who " was travelling with" the Marquis of Hertford and Mademoiselle Borel, to having heard the Mar quis: mention that he had given Suisse about 100,000 francs in coupons. And a fellow-servant, named Foote, of course to account for this profusion, gave the following evidence : " I was in the habit of attending about the person of the Marquis during the last four years. The prisoner was his chief attendant, and acted as his steward ; in fact, he was the house steward. . The Marquis was very much attached to him, more particu larly during the last few years of his life. The Marquis was in the habit of having females at his residence, and he was also in the habit of travelling on the Continent with them. The prisoner had the management of all those delicate affairs. No other person was employed about such affairs. The Marquis was not able to go about without assistance during the last years of his life. • . . Some of the females above alluded to were in the habit of visiting the Marquis at Dorchester-house up to the time of his death. A female, called Henriette, was in the house at the time of the Marquis's death. There was a back entrance to the house, through which the ladies entered at night and left in the morning." This picture of the last days of the Marquis of Hertford is not a pleasing one. Nor is the capacity in which Nicholas Suisse acts one which even the world ordinarily looks upon with a very favouring eye. Certain other more disgusting perhaps, though less disgraceful, offices, rendered necessary by his master's absolute infirmity, are mentioned as giving an additional claim upon his generosity. It is fair to add also, that he appears to have incurred some risk in landing the Marquis at Ramsgate some time pre vious. Such is the sum total of the merits of Ni cholas Suisse. And now let us hear the judgment authoritatively delivered from the bench by the Lord Chief Baron upon these services. " The prisoner," said Lord Abinger, in directing his acquittal, " there could be no doubt, had been an invaluable servant to his master, and it was his duty to provide liberally for him under the circumstances." " Very important and valuableser vices had been performed since November 1839, and it was only right to infer that for such ser vices his master would reward him." " His character was described in what the learned counsel most properly called a voice from the grave of his master' (Lord Hertford's will), as being that of a most excellent man.' There could be no doubt of the excellence of his character. We wish we could disbelieve our eyes when we see such a panegyric on such services proceeding from the English Bench, which we have been accustomed to look up to as the stern defender of morality. Such has never hitherto been the language of English Judges—such, it may be, would not have been the language of Lord Abinger had he been dealing with the private history of a less distinguished profligate —such, certainly, is not the spirjt of the English law. If Lord Hertford had given to Suisse or Borel, previous to these services, which Lord Abinger eulogises, a bond specified to be in consideration of their expected performance, the law would have denounced that bond, as founded on a corrupt eon sideration, immoral and void; yet the grave ex ponent of that law pronounces it the master's duty to remunerate his " invaluable servant" for his " valuable services," without a word calculated to discredit their propriety, or to show that they are not the usual and understood offices of an English nobleman's steward. " Valuable" they are—if everything be valuable that can be valued in money—that has its price :—so we might speak of the characters of those concerned as " estimable," because they could be estimated, and that right easily. But valuable they are not, and valuable no English Judge should dare to call them, while that word means, as it does mean to the ear of any plain man, worthy of thanks and gratitude from the mise rable man who demands and receives them. It may be told us, in answer to this, th a t it was no t th e business of the Judge to pronounce on the character of the whole disgraceful exposure, but only to direct the Jury in their investigation of an alleged robbery. This is but half true; it is often a duty of judges and one which they often perform—to pronounce, or at least to indicate, their opinion on the transactions which pass before them, over and above their judicial sentence. But were it entirely true, Lord Abinger has not kept silence—he passed an eulogy. " Excel lent" and " invaluable' , are terms of no ordinary praise ; and these are the expressioni which Lord Abinger has applied, quite unmodified, to Lord Hert ford's agent. And then the piece of pathos—" The voice from the grave of his master," which proclaimed him " a most excellent man." As if it were from Paradise that this old man, to whom it is neither pleasing nor necessary to apply any epithet, b rea th e d forth his panegyric on the minister of what are called his plea sures. For this expression it seems Mr. Thesiger is re sponsible. And certainly, how a respectable and high-spirited man, as we believe Mr. Thesiger to be, could allow his imagination, or his supposed duty to his client, to b r i ng suc h a figure as this out of his month, we confess ourselves unable to understand. Something, of course, is to be allowed to the advocate. He is paid to get off his client, and is bound to labour heartily for that object. Still there are different ways of doing this. There are limits to what an honourable man will say or do even in this cause. Professional etiquette itself is not absolutely unscrupulous. Professional etiquette itself, we should have hoped, would have shrunk from demanding such a prostitution of good words. Mere good taste might have preserved him from an appeal so miserably rheto rical to a class of thoughts demanding, at least in the present instance, to be regarded with no ordinary awe and seriousness. There it stands, however, and the Judge, who has none of the excuses of the advocate, has thought fit to select it for approval as a " most proper" expression of the state of the case. With the words of a counsel, indiscreet —nay, inexcusable as we might have thought them, we should not have thought it necessary to meddle ; but when authority itself assumes such a tone as the newspaper reports impute to Lord Abinger, it becomes the duty of those interested in public morality to protest firmly and warmly against such a perversion of judicial power; and, whether it proceed from easiness of disposition, from laxity of principle, from deference to rank and connexion, or from mere carelessness, to arraign that Judge for treason to his own high office who shrinks from maintaining —nap, who actively betrays—the noble prerogatives which the custom of England commits to him as guardian, not only of life and pro perty, but of public honour, decency, and morality. — Times. NAUTICAL ANECDOTE OF HER MAJESTY WHEN PRINCESS VICTORIA. It is not generally known that her Majesty is so conversant with matters of seamanship as she really is. Before her ascension to the throne of these realms no amusement afforded her more delight than marine excursions ; and, during the summer season, her beautiful yacht, the Emerald, was in frequent requisi tion. Nor were her Majesty's trips at all times un attended with danger, and the following instance will show that a very narrow escape from one of the many " perils of the deep" occurred during one of her voy ages. At a time when her Majesty was sailing around a portion of the Isle of Wight, her favourite cruising ground, on account of the beautiful scenery to befound there, a breeze sprung up, and before the Emerald could get into Cowes Roads, for which she was beat ing up, it freshened into a gale. In squally weather there is a very ugly short sea that runs in the channel, which now washed the yacht's decks " fore and aft;" Tier Majesty, however, with a degree of nerve seldom to be found in her sex, and oftentimes wanting in a man, staved on deck, and quietly, though carefully, attended to the efforts of the men. The pilot on board, Mr. Saunders, was giving directions, and doing everything that a seaman could do to bring his onerous charge safe into port, when a sharp squall came and took the Emerald "aback," and crack went the topmast immediately above the " cap." Seeing the danger, Saunders sprang to where the Queen was standing, seized her round the waist, and had scarcely ti me to deposit her farther aft, where less chance of harm existed, when crash came the topmast down upon the deck, directly on the spot where the Queen ' had stationed herself, scarcely an instant intervening between her removal and its fall ; had it fallen on her it must inevitably have crushed her. In gratitude to her preserver the Queen (then Princess) got him ap pointed as a master in the navy, and after her ascen sion to the throne she ordered him to be brought to Court. lie was for some time master of the Fire brand Royal Yacht steamer (now called the Black Eagle in honour of the King of Prussia), but it is to be regretted he is recently dead. An ample provision has, however, been co ns id era t e ly ma d e b y th e Q ueen for his wife and family. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND. WOOLWICH, AUG. 25.—The notice issued by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that no per son will be admitted into the Dockyard on the day that her Majesty embarks, excepting officers in full uniform, will render the spectacle in the interior one of the grandest and most imposing ever witnessed here, and in every respect worthy of the honour con ferred on the naval and military branches of her Majesty's services, as there will be a brilliant assem blage of officers present on this occasion to testify their loyalty, attachment, and gallantry to the person of the gracious Sovereign whom they have'the honour to serve. This resolution was rendered absolutely ne cessary, owing to the great number of officers who have expressed a desire from all parts of the country to be present, and for whose accommodation the most extensive preparations are in progress. It is gratifying at the same time to be able to state that her Majesty's loyal civil subjects will not be pre vented by this arrangement from witnessing the ap proach and departure of the Royal party from the surrounding eminences along the line of road to Wool wich Dockyard, which may be selected by her Ma jesty. The river and the opposite banks of the Thames will also afford facilities to thousands of her Majesty's subjects to witness a scene which will far eclipse in grandeur the memorable launch of the Trafalgar in the month of June, 1841, when her Majesty was pre sent, and appeared to enjoy with heartfelt satisfaction the happy and pleasing exhibition displayed in the countenances of so many human beings assembled in approbation of the presence of their Queen. The whole of the centre building in the Dockyard in which the public offices are situate has been re painted, the arms, weather points, and vane regilt, and the building dose to the flag staff and point of embarkation newly painted, and presents a very gay and cheerful appearance. A layer of very fine gravel has been put on the ground, which, when covered with matting and green cloth, will be smooth as the interior of any dwelling, and present a large square for the accommodation of her Majesty, Prince Albert, l and the Royal party. In the event of its being de cided upon that the Royal George yacht should be brought alongside the wharf, the tide will only admit of this arrangement from six to eight o'clock in the morning, or from four to six o'clock in the afternoon, but any other hour will answer by proceding in a boat to the Royal yacht. Her Majesty will, however, scarcely for one moment consider her personal con venience, but yield to the, wishes of her people by fixing a convenient early hour, which will afford them an opportunity of accompanying the Royal squadron some distance down the river. Parties are already entering into arrangements for that purpose, and liberality on the part of the authorities to afford facilities for their convenience would be attended with beneficial and satisfactory results.

All is peaceable at present here, but whether the calm is brought about by a dread of the consequences which might result from a collision with the civil and military power, still on active duty, or the discontents are secretly plotting measures for a more serious out break, is more than can be determined, and hundreds of persons in this town .and throughout this district look upon matters as by no means presenting the ap pearance which the lovers of peace and order would wish. It is a fact, known and acknowledged by all, that the return to work is by no means general, as was anticipated would be the case yesterday, or at all events to-day ; and from the fact of a number of specials being again called to duty last night, after having been released from their labours, it is reason able to suppose the authorities do not anticipate a restoration to the usual state of things. This morn ing a meeting of power-loom weavers was held in Tinker's-gardens, which was attended by between 300 and 400 persons. Some speeches were made of an inflammatory character, and a resolution was come to, unanimously, not to return to work until they ob tained from the masters the advance of wages which they demanded. Information was given to the police of the meeting, and a party of that body, under the command of Superintendent Stephenson, was des patched to disperse.them ; but on their arrival at the spot the meeting had separated. MERTHYR, Tuesday Night. The political horizon has cleared here to-day. Two thirds of the men employed under ground at Cy farthfa have returned to their. occupation. As stated before, few in the other iron works were affected with the Chartist spirit. Three were dismissed from Pen y Darran works this morning for absenting themselves yesterday. One of them has a wife and four young children ; another fireman was discharged from Cy farthfa for taking a letter, he said he found, round the works. Many more, it is said are on the black list. John Evans, Esq., the manager of Sir John Guest's works, gave 151. worth of beer last night to three lodges of Odd Fellows, for not joining in the present delusion. A Chartist meeting was held at Aberdare-hill this afternoon, and another at a room in town, when it was decided to go to work to-morrow. This has had a beneficial effect on the inhabitants in general, and confidence will, we presume, be shortlyrestored. It is more than probable that many will be deterred from working at present, if not for ever, here. WEDNESDAY MORNlNG.—Merthyr begins to wear its work-like appearance once more. The punishing of the Chartists by the Magistrates will be the next topic. POLICE COURT, MERTHYR—FRIDAY, AUG. 19. Magistrates present, G. R. Morgan, and R. Fother gill, Esqrs., and Rev. C. Maybery, clerk. Isaiah Edmunds was charged by William Morgan with an assault on his person, on the 4th inst.—Dis charged on the payment of costs only. James Hatfield, coachman to Mrs. Gay, was charged by John Thomas, Coach and Horses, with as saulting him on the 2d inst., on taking passengers from the railway-station to Dowlais, and it appears that a little jealousy has existed between them.— Fined ss. and costs. Nathaniel Llewelyn, fitter-up, of Dowlais, was charged by Margaret Miles, widow, with assaulting her on the 13th inst.—Discharged on payment of costs. Richard Edwards, a knight of the thimble, was charged by Thomas Thomas with illegally removing goods to evade the payment of rent.--Case dismissed, and the complainant ordered to pay costs. Benj. Thomas, butcher, was charged by Mr. Thomas Jenkins, on behalf of the Dowlais Company, CHARTIST MEETING. A meeting was called, by public notice, for yester day evening, at six o'clock, in Sloane-square, Chel sea, for the purpose of discussing the principles of the Charter. Some time before the hour appointed for the meeting, a number of policemen were placed in and near the square, in order to prevent the assem bling of any persons. By six o'clock a number of persons had assembled in the middle of the square, and the police proceeded to disperse them, which they easily did. The crowd again assembled, accompanied by an immense number of children. The orators did not now even appear, and the police did not again attempt to clear the square. The crowd con tinued to increase but still there was no appearance of anything like business. At nine o'clock, the time at which our reporter left, the square was quite full of people, and a number of policemen were about the avenues leading to the square. There was no indica tion of any breach of the peace whatever. ERRATUM.--i n the note to the letter on " Railway in Scotland tut Sunday," which appeared .yesterday, _ for " Contemporary" read ITric-aoTvre4rleelisnpsgtinonde MARRIAGES IN HltiH LIFE. The marriage, of Lord Prudhoe, brother of the Duke of Northumberland, with Lady Eleanor Gros venor, eldest daughter of Earl Grosvenor, and that of Lord Parker, eldest son of the Earl of Macclesfield, with the Lady Mary Grosvenor, second daughter of the Earl of Grosvenor, were solemnised on Thursday at St. George's, Hanover-square, shortly before twelve o'clock. The ceremony was performed by his Grace the Archbishop of York, in the preience of a noble and distinguished circle, consisting of the intimate friends and relations of the noble familie's of Percy, Grosvenor, and Parker. • The biidesmaids were—Lady Caroline GrosveCor, Lady Elizabeth Grosvenor, Miss Percy, and Miss Williams Wynn. Amongst those who were present at the ceremony we observed— The Duke of Wellington, the Marquis. and Marchioness of Westminster, the Earl and Countess Grosvenor, Viscount Belgrave, Lady Elizabeth and Caroline Grosvenor, Earl of Wilton, Lord Auckland and the Hon. Misses Eden, General and Mrs. Gros venor, Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, Earl and Countess of Beverley, Lady Agnes Buller, Dowager Countess of Ashburnham, Sir Watkins Williams Wynn, Bart., Miss, Williams Wynn, Miss Percy, Earl and Countess of Macclesfield, Lady Louisa Parker, Earl and Countess of Antrim, Miss Georgiana Harcourt, Lady Mary F. Howard, Mr. Edward Drummond, Miss Drummond, Sir Wil loughby Gordon, Sir H. Hardinge ' Lord and Lady Robert Gr osvenor , the Right Hon. Thomas Grenville, the Rev. Dr. Bull; Lady Louisa Percy, the Hon. Captain Percy, the Hon. Mr. Drax Grosvenor, the Dowager Countess of Antrim, Viscount Ebrington, and Mr. and Lady Emily Drummond. At the conclusion of the ceremony Lord and Lady Prudhoe took their departure for Sion House, where they intend to pass the honeymoon. Shortly after two o'clock a very numerous circle assembled at Grosvenor House (the Marquis of West minster's), where a sumptuous dejeuner was given by the Marquis and Marchioness, to celebrate the nuptials of their granddaughters. In the course of the dejeuner 'the Duke of North umberland rose, and expressed his gratification at the alliance which had taken place between the Percy and the Grosvenor families, and concluded, after a brief but very appropriate address, by proposing " The healths of the happy brides and bridegrooms. Earl Grosvenor replied. The Duke Gf Northumberland then proposed " The health of the Duke of Wellington." The Duke of Wellington acknowledged the toast in a brief speech, and ended by giving " The healths of the Marquis and Marchioness of 'Westminster." The Marquis of Westminster, in answer to the Noble and Gallant Duke's toast, remarked that it .gave him infinite pleasure to have had the Noble Duke's company on that very interesting occasion, and the favour conferred could not otherwise than be appreciated, when it was known to them all, that the Duke had come expressly to town from Walmer Castle to be present at the nuptials. The party shortly afterwards broke up. Lord and LadyFarker left town early in the after noon for Moore Park, the seat of the Marquis of Westminster, near Rickmansworth, Herts. The rejoicings at Isleworth and Brentford yester day, in celebration of the marriage of Lord and Lady Prudhoe, were on an extensive and very liberal scale. The Archbishop of York was unable to be present at the dejeuner given 'by the Marquis and Mar chioness of Westminster, urgent business calling his Grace from town. His Grace left the metropolis by, railroad, for, we believe, Bishopsthorpe, as early as two o'clock. GRAND ROWING. MATCHES AT ISLEWORTH. Two great matches, distinct in themselves, but rowed at the same time, and on the same reach of water, were contested on Thursday, at Isleworth, both in honour ofan event which had taken place that morn ing—the marriage of the Right Hon. Lord Prudhoe (brother of the Duke of Northumberland) to Lady Eleanor, Grosvenor. The first match in honour of this event, which appeared to have been a subject of general rejoicing, was for a new wherry and other prizes, given by his. Grace the Duke of Northumber land, to be rowed for by nine pairs of sculls, in four heats, amongst the following watermen of Isleworth First Heat.—William Mariner, green ; Richard Neale, red stripe ; and William Temins, jun., red. Second Heat.—Richard Mund ay , p i n k ; William Turner, blue ; William Whapshot, purple. Third Heat.—Thomas Shearman, yellow ; John Whapshot, blue stripe ; and Charles Smith, white. These nine started in the order above given, the winner of each of these heats being entitled to row in the grand match, thus constituting four threes, a style of managing a wager novel, but good. The distance was from a short distance above Isleworth Church ferry, down round a boat moored off Sion meadows, up the Isleworth side of the Ait, round a boat moored off the Marquis of Ailsa's, down the Surrey shore, and finish at the Sion pavilion. The first heat was won by red, the second by blue, and the third by white. At six these three were at the buoys to dispute the grand heat, and a beautiful race was the result. They were altogether from the moment of starting until the corning in. Turner had taken the lead by a boat or so in the beginning,, and won by half a length. The second match was rowed, as we have before said, at the same time, and over the same course, with watermen from the locality of Richmond, Brentford, &c., and was for a purse given by the Right - Hon. Lord Prudhoe, to be decided under a precisely similar arrangement to the other. A separate galley, how ever, was called into requisition to manage this, and distinct managers. The following were the competitors : First Heat—George Redknap, Twickenham, red ; Joseph Hammerton, Twickenham, white ; John Platt, Twickenham, blue, Second Heat William Bell, Richmond, red; George Borley, Richmond, white ; William New, Richmond, blue. Third Heat—William Thomas, Isleworth, red ; James Rutter, Brentford, white; William Barker, Kew, blue. The heats were all well contested. Platt won the first heat, Borley the second, and Barker the third. The men having refreshed, again drew for colours; and went to their stations. Platt took the lead and retained it throughout, winning by half a length or so. The wherry, which was very handsome, was built by Cownden and Wentzell, of London. The Eclipse and Richmond, which had been engaged for the accommodation of the company, were heavily laden, and the sport appeared to give great satisfaction. The large estates of Montague E. N.
