MISCELLANEOUS. RUSSIA AND TURKEY.--The nomination of M. Ribaupierre, as Envoy from the Court of Petersburgh to Constantinople, has been already noticed. The Imperial Ukase, by which he was appointed to that Embassy, is dated the 27th of August, and is conceived in the following terms " Considering that, by the evacuation of the principalities of Walachia and Moldavia, by the measures taken relative to the commerce and navigation of the Bosphorus, and by the redress of various other causes of complaint, the Ottoman Porte has removed the motives opposed to the re-establishment of diplomatic relations; " From these causes, and in the hope that, in concert with our allies, we. shall succeed in terminating the misfortunes that desolate the East, we have resolved to nominate to the post of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister. Plenipotentiary to the Ottoman Porte our Privy Councillor M. de Itibaupierre." According to advices, of the 17th ultimo, from Constantinople, the intended expedition against Samos had been frustrated by a mutiny among the Asiatic troops at Scala Nuova, whose leaders declared that they would not co-operate in any attack upon the islands of the Archipe lago. The corps which had so long been encamped at Scutari, was embarked for Scala Nuova for the purpose of reducing the mutineers to order. The Greek Admiral, CANARIS, with a strong squadron, including a number of tire-ships, was watch. ing an opportunity of attacking the Turkish fleet; but it is said the Capitan Pacha and the other Turkish commanders had taken every . premution to secure their vessels against the tire ships. It is reasserted that the Turkish vessels have English sailors on board, procured, it is said, through the intervention of Lord STRANSIFORD. We apprehend that there are very few English seamen who could be induced by any considera tion to serve on board s Turkish man-of-war ; and it cannot be believed, for a moment, that Lord STRANGFOItD would act as a crimp for the Capitan Mr. FAuNTLEItoy.—We have cautiously fore. borne to admit any articles respecting this per- Con, but what takes place before the Magistracy. lle. is amenable to the Laws of his Country, and his case will undergo due investigation at the proper period, and in the meantime, we deem it improper to bias the mind of the Public, but to let Justice take her course, and her decision will doubtless be satisfactory to mankind. MAJOR CARTWRIGHT.—This Gentleman, who has long been known to the world, closed his earthly career last night, in the 85th year of his age, at his house in Burton-crescent. He was originally in the Navy, and acquitted himself in the service with zeal, knowledge, and spirit. He derived his military appellation from having been formerly Major of the. Nottinghamshire Militia. The Major wasa man of learning,and a staunch ad vocate for civil liberty. His motives were sincere, and he was actuated in all his various, almost in numerable, publications, by a desire of improving the condition of mankind. But while he was absorb ed in political speculations he did nut sufficiently at tend to the real nature of the Being whose state he was so anxious to improve,and his principles,how ever right in theory, were absolutely too ab stracted and visionary for practice. In fact he was a political enthusiast through life, but of the most respectable description, as motives of mere personal advantage had no influence upon his conduct, and his solo object was the benefit of mankind, by the removal of all that infringed upon their liberties and exposed them to the abuses of arbitrary power. Yesterday afternoon, Sir CHARLES BAGOT, the late Ambassador to the Court of St. Petersburgh, arrived in town, accompanied by his Lady, the whole of his family, and his suite, from St.Peters burgh.' Soon after his arrival, Sir CHARLES, at tended by some of his suite, proceeded to the Foreign Office, Downing-street. It is understood that Sir Cuktmcs has returned to England by the frigate that took to Russia Mr. STRATFORD CANNING. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Lady SARAH ROBINSON left Temple Hall, the seat of the Earl of HARDWICK; yesterday, for their re sidence at Nocton, in Lincolnshire. Sir HENRY TORRENS left town yesterday for Chatham, preparatory to his commanding the Brigade which is to he reviewed ou the lines this day by his Royal Highness the Commander•in• Chief. Lord PALMERSTON is said to have been for some time in Ireland collecting information, of which he will be enabled to avail himself, as Chairman of the Committee of the House of Com mons, for enquiring into the state of the dis turbed districts. The Grand Duke CONSTANTINE is at Frankfort. The Grand Duke NICUOLAS, of Russia, will spend the whole winter in Prussia and the Netherlands, and will not return to St. Petersburgh with his Consort before May. Lieutenant-General Count OZAROFSKI, Aid de-Camp to the Emperor of RUSSIA, is daily expected in Town from St. Petershurgh , with dispatch es . He is accompanied by his family and suite. A notice was yesterday_ issued from the Post office, that mails will, in future, be regularly made up on the first Wednesday in each month, for Carthagena, in Colombia, and for Vera, Cruz or Alvarado, in Mexico, to be taken out by the Jamaica packet ; and that on the third Wednes day in every month, a mail will be made up for Laguayra, in Colombia, to go from Falmouth by the Leeward Islands packet. On the 16th inst. the widow of CHRISTOPIIE, with her two daughters, arrived at Ostend in the Talbot steam-packet, and on the 18th set`out for Italy. MARGATE.—Our weather has been variable, but our visitors have been abundant,, and many of 'them stationary. We have, as I before told you, a respectable company of Performers at the The atre. We have had KNIGHT, of Drury-Lane .Theatre, whose rustic charecters are successful. On Wednesday, Mr. R.. B. WATTS, the Box-book .and Housekeeper at the Theatre here, and the attentive Box-keeper at Drury-Lane, had his benefit. On this occasion Miss MA.CAULEY re cited with her usual effect the tale of Lord ULLEN'S Daughter. She kindly returned to Margate expressly for the occasion. The vener able GARNER, the Librarian, also gave his liberal assistance, and performed the part of Lady Pent. totiale, in the farce of Taste, with great humour and spirit. The last piece was Modern Antiques, in which KNIGHT performed the part of Joey. The benefit was under the patronage of Lady CATHERINE STEWART. Lady AUGUSTA MURUA*, Lady CODRINGTON, Lady ANDOVER, and-several other distinguished visitors, came from Ramsgate on purpose to support a civil and meritorious in, THE ,KING.

TUESDAY last a Grand Musical Festival was given at Nor wich, in aid of several of the public Charities of that City, which the Duke of Sussex honoured with his patronage and presence. A chorus of 152 persons was formed, of which the City of Norwich furnished no less than 103, the remainder being composed of persons from London, Oxford, Cambridge, Ely, Ipswich, Bungay, Decries, Eye, and Framlingham. The instrumental band, almost equally numerous, contained in its list of 107 performers ' some of the most distingui s h e d i n th e king dom, and Mr. F. Cramer and Mr. Keiswetter were appointed to act as leaders. The place appointed for the performan ce o f the Concerts was St. Andrew's Hall, a fine old church, formerly belonging to a convent of Black Friars, but afterwards given to the Corporation as a place of public meeting. On the pre sent occasion it was fitted up with much appropriate splendour. The Duke of Sussex entered the Hall at a few minutes before 8 o'clock, and was conducted to his seat by the High Sheriff and the Mayor of • the City, amidst the greetings of those s present. ' The performances commenced with one of Hadyn'symphonies, and the excellence of the band, both here and afterwards in the " Overture to Anacreon," was fully displayed, the different movements being executed in the most perfect manner. This was followed by " God save the King," the first two verses of which were sung by Miss Carew, And the last two by Miss Stephens. The manner in which Miss Carew gave her portion of the song was unusually , delightful; and . her A v irs ery of Miss Stephens, we need only say, that she acquitted her chorus was well executed, and the audience most heartily joined in the loyal st ra i n, self in a way fully worthy of her well-earned fame. The and with the finest effect. The Pieces selected for the evening's performance were all very , good.— Miss Stephens sung " ‘Vhen first you courted me," and ' Home Amon o manner, auve mud , e "Cease y moat our fu deservedly un il i. a rranged with variation s by it och - funning, ; ' sa very delightfully, and re ceived a unanimous call for its re '. petition.
