PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 91.-The Austrian frigate, nellone, 36, commanded by the Archduke Frederick, came into 'this harbour on Monday, to be 'docked, being leaky. Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., the absence of Admiral Sir E. Codrington, went on board on Sunday to pay his respects, and to ascertain when the Prince would land, which he did imme diately, under salutes from the garrison and ships of war, and was received by •the Lieutenant-Governor, Sir H. Pakenham, and the heads of departments, the guard of honour - being furnished from the Royal Marines, under command of Captain Smith. The ship arrived on Saturday from Plymouth, being piloted by the :Master Attendant. The Archduke is a fine young man, about 23 years old, and has seen some service on the coast of Syria. Captain Charles Napier, C. 8., came expressly from London to offer attention, and assist in showing the Prince the public establishments. His Imperial Highness departed on Monday afternoon, by railway, for Windsor Castle, on a visit to her Majesty, and will re-embark at this port as soon as the repairs of the ship are completed. Joseph Mason, Esq., purser of the flag-ship Illus trious, 72, on the West India station, has returned to England invalided. Tha Queen's yacht, Royal George, Captain Lord A. Fitzclarcnce, is now ordered to take up moorings at Woolwich, where in future she will be stationed, instead of Portsmouth Harbour. The tender brig, Nautilus, 10, it is supposed, will be employed on a distinct service. The Winchester, 52, with the flag of Rear-Admiral Percy, bound to the Cape of Good Hope, arrived at Rio de Janeiro from Madeira, 28th July, at which place she remained four days. The Port-Admiral, Sir Edward Codrington, is gone on a cruise to the Westward, in the Fanny tender yacht ; and Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker is executing the port duties with the usual allowances. The Philomel, 10, Commander Sullivan, bound to Rio de Janeiro, was spoken with Aug. 10, one week from Teneriffe, having fair wind and weather. The Daphne, 20, Captain Onslow, is to proceed to Spithead, from Leith, to complete her crew and outfit. Destination supposed to be the Brazils. The steamer Penelope, at Chatham, is ordered to be fitted with the newly-invented patent wire-rope. The Phcenix steamer, Commander Richardson, is hourly expected from Malta, to be paid off. The Lame, 18, and Vestal, 26, will shortly be com missioned in the river. At Spithead—Russian store-ship Abo. In Harbour—St. Vincent, Victory, Excellent, Itnaum, Orestes, Nautilus, Echo, and tenders.— Brighton Gazette. HOP INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE.—The hop picking is now very gene rally closing—indeed, over the far greater breadth of the plantation, has closed. Many of the hands were paid off on Saturday and yesterday, and were taking themselves off in various directions. The prOduce in this district rather exceeds what it was generally laid at, and the quality is first-rate. The College ground, we are informed, averages over five bags an acre, which is rather more than it did last year; but the average would have been higher if the hops had been suffered to grow out more. The quality sustains the long-established reputation of the ground. - Mr. Gurney's young piece is said to average nearly seven bags an acre. Ice mention these two grounds, in co.isequence of their havinc , been so generally in spected by visitors, and the numerous conjectural estimates that have been made of their produce. In the neighbourhood of Canterbury we learn the weight will be rather more than last year. The Tenterden district, comprising about 4,000 acres, comes very short. Cranbrool: about the same as last year. Staplehurst and the Weald generally very short. The duty, it will he seen, is up to 155,000/. ; but we very much doubt whether the result will warrant that estimate.—Maidstone Journal. At Canterbury market on Saturday several samples of hops were shown, and a good deal of business was transacted. The prices varied from 61. to 8/. 155.; several tons, being part of the growth of Mr. Neame, of Sellinge, realising the latter sum. Some few grounds in the neighbourhood have had their crops gradually turn to a brown colour, and are, of course, in an equal ratio depreciated in value, whilst some, and we may say only a comparatively small portion, have not only retained the brightness of the pure hop, but have produced a considerably larger growth than was anticipated. The operation of the picker is ra pidly drawing to a close, and we perceive in a few grounds that pole-stacking has commenced. The duty stands at about 150,0001.—Kenfisk Gazette. WORCESTER, SEPT. 21.---The supply of hops on Saturday was r►ot so great as was generally expected, not exceeding 2,000 pockets, for which the demand was rather brisk, and upon the best sorts an advance of .Is. to 2s. per cwt. was realised, some choice par cels having reached 90s. to 925. per cwt. The num ber of pockets weighed was 1,461 ; old, 6; and during the week, new, 303 ; old, 32. Our fair on Monday was the best known for some years, buyers being as numerous, and the demand as quick, as in the year 1831. The supply was not so abundant as was ex pected, the whole amounting to 3,500 pockets, the greater part of which were readily disposed of, those weighed at the public scales being 2,618 pockets ; but in addition to those pitched on the stones, there must have been at least a thousand more sold by sample, which will be delivered in the week. Prices were full 3s. per cwt. higher than on Saturday, the average currency being from 78s. to 955. per cwt. In old hops there was scarcely anything doing, and only 34 pockets were weighed. The duty is freely backed to pay 20,000t.—Worcester Journal of the 22d. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE 'EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—We fancied we had sickened the Post of aski n g. us questions; and we almost begin to believe it does so with a real desire of gaining instruction. Thig is a - receive fro m ws),,id cherish us every encouragement. We leet;s it' to an seek what interrogative instinct which motivewhat it needs so greatly. We have Anotherbesides for giving the Post th; instr uction i Nvhich it seeks. The Post is one of ow best _Po lovoaeters ; B-- was to Fox. as a certain Lord e have answered the Post, we are sure the " the we Fool" can ask no more questions. ."T f h o e l e i ! , : ce of nonsense can no farther go." The are the Post's interrogatories of this inornin "We are rather surprised that our a bl un d er, i n generally astute co coitemporary should have male o s con taring the effects of the s.idi nB duty with what. would have occurred under hi s ' favourit e eight shilliw:r same. He complains that the has 'allon too low ! and says that the fixed price t of corn have presented this. It is odd enough t o 1.4'7 1 19 coniplainhlg of cheap corn, but will he favour u s with itn his prop' how the Russell prescription would prevent this. He says that wheat has suddenly fallen from 61 1 . to 535., and that the BQ. duty would have kept up 11 - v....price. .This is iv,orth looking to. Let us see how his, theory rests. Under the present scale the duty it I ls. when the prices are at 61s. Does a duty of I Is. telia to reduce prices more sudienly (unnecessarily lie says) than one of Bs. ? When prices are at 53 5. 1. , I.e duty is 18s. Does this run down the article more rapWly than the Globey's everlasting octavo? It won.` d. puzzle even th e s h arp w i ts o f o ur lively friend to , ho ,w how the present duties, at the figures between 61s ' 53work . aia. s., more for a fall than his own plan. Wi'l he, with all his shstpness, disprove the self apt, erent fa..`-t, that the slicing scale . altogether - to „„„, aerac t , cluctuation—duties falling with ' • • rising pricts, and vi, le versa?" we did „,t complain that. the price of corn had fallen too low . We said that a sudden , ter:al, and (had .the fixed duty been adopted) ina um ecessary fall i n the price of wheat . had taken plac,e, just at the .er:tical moment for the far- 'Dees profits, whieli! .fall would have been pre• vet ted, to such suadell i been eaten, du r i n g,- the and serious ext ent, h a d the 4 oreign corn in bon seas_n when - it was mo.qt wanted, instead of being pent up, like waters impeded in their natural course, to be forced out all at once, and drown the plains with a sudden inundation. The effect of the sliding scale is to keep corn in bond when folks want to eat it; and to let it out when it is quite certain that folks won't want to eat it, and when speculators dare not hold on any longer for that very reason. We were flooded with foreign corn not till a large supply of our own was coming to market ; and all the time it was really most wanted, we could not have out a grain of it. All the foreign corn we could have got to eat, up to this harvest, would have scantly supplied us, coming in by degrees; —instead of which, it was hoarded for a still further anticipated fall of our arbitrary scale of duties, and not released till it was quite certain averages would fall and duties rise—i. e., till it was quite certain it was less, or not at all, wanted. This is a pretty illustration of what the Post calls " the self-apparent fact, that the sliding scale goes altogether to counteract fluctuation." STANDARD.—Supposing, contrary to what we believe to be the truth, that Great Britain were overreached in the matter of the boundary, we should be much better pleased that it should be so than that this empire had overreached the Republic. It is not pretended that any sacrifice of interest or security has been made; and such being the case, we give our transatlantic kinsmen joy of what they have obtained. The very fact that it is argued (and. we beli eve j u stly argu ed) that Great Britain was in a condition, supposing a bargain of some kind made, to demand higher terms than have contented her, is proof that she has made no unwo r thy concess io n . The hypo thesis that we have introduced is, however, one that deserves attention, because the refusal to settle the question was a resource always open to the States. They might, if they disliked our conditions, have left the question in the state in which it has rested for 59 years.; and though we might have, as undoubtedly we have, the power to force an arrangement and to dictate its terms, we would not have the right to do so after wait ing 59 years, and opening successive negotia tions, upon the assumption that the territory is of doubtful proprietorship. We could not have the right to originate a war upon the subject. To close this place of retreat (an abrupt post ponement of the settlement) against the United States was, after all, Lord Asburton's greatest difficulty; but this place of retreat was to be closed only by liberal and even inviting terms, which the Government coulnd not reject, but in comproming itself with the democracy. Again, it is a mistake to sup pose that there was any dispute upon the subject of the slave-trpde. This, like the question of the boundar:, was an open question . between two indepeneent [parties, neither complaining of wrong by the other—for the casual, private, and well-deserved sufferings of Arnerieans were pro perly held back ; and Great Britain had not even such shadows of wrong to complain of. Great Britain has no right to interfere with the Ameri can slave-trade further thao as the United States may give the right by treaty. Great Britain has no more original right to prevent the carriage of slaves from America to the United States, than she has to liberate the slaves already domiciled in those states. It is necessary to keep this steadily in view, because all the misapprensions that have arisen upon the subject rest upon the hypothesis, that we hare a right to suppress the foreign slave-trade. We have no such right— and the attempt to arrogate it would only defeat out object; because it would identify the ac cursed traffic with the independence of nations- We have not any such right, any more than in any other matter, we have a commission to keep the police of the world. We may do much by the influence of example, by expostulation with other independent nations, and by obtaining from them treaties which shall enable us to prevent the trade, as far as their sub jects and our own citizens are concerned ; but this is all we have a right to expect, and in this way we have done a great deal. The United States profess a wish to prevent that traffic in human flesh which costs a thousand daily mtir ders ; to the degree in which they co-operate with us, to the extent to which they afford us facilities, they prove the sincerity of their pro fession; but if their co-operation is lukewarm— if, instead of affording facilities to the extinction of the abominable trade, they throw difficulties in the way of such as would extinguish it ; the re sponsibility is not to us, who have no legal autho rity over them, but to their character before men and to their Almighty Creator. Engage ments to assist in putting down the slave trade are not engagements made to Great Britain, or to any particular country, but to human nature. To refuse suchl engagements, to withhold the means of enforcing them when professedly made, is no wrong to Great Britain in particular, but to the whole fatnily of mankind. It matters, therefore, nothing to the honour of this country whether the provisions conceded to the United States for the suppression of the slave•trade are made bona fide, and are adequate to their object ; but it matters everything to the character of the United States. Great Britain has done her part when she has earnestly recommended that proper course, which she has, however, no right to com mand ; and even though she gain nothing by her recommendation, she in no respect compromises her honour by resting patient with that nothing. THE FABLE ABOUT THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK. Baron Andlau, Equerry to his Serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick, has this morning received the. following letter from the Mayor of Preston : "Preston, Sept. 21, 1842. "Dear Sir,—My attention has been drawn to a statement in the Times newspaper (which appears to have been copied from the Lancaster Guardian), that an illustrious visitor at the Guild has been taken in custody and carried to the police-station by mistake, and that a most handsome apology had been made by me for the unintentional affront. "I regret exceedingly that any one should have taken so scandalous a liberty with his Highness's name. Probably he will treat the matter with silent contempt. I hasten, however, to place in your hands my contradiction of the statement, which is entirely without foundation ; no person having been so appre hended or charged.—l have the honour to be &c., " S. HORROCKS, Mayor." The marriage of Miss Cochrane with the Due de Luxembourg, announced in the London journals, is postponed until letters can be received from Sir Thos. Cochrane, now commanding her Mitannie Majesty's naval forces in China. RONCHI, THE CALABRIAN. BAYONNE, SEPT. 15.—0 f all the individuals whose presence has, during this last season, rendered this locality interesting, one (the well-known Ronchi) has just left who reminds us in a most striking man mer of the secret history of the Spanish Court for the last twelve or fourteen years. The history of this person is most remarkable. His career is said to have been one of romance. It is related in the following manner:— Ronchi is a Calabrian by birth, and was originally a dentist, but has exercised a variety of professions and callings, according as his necessities compelled or his tastes directed him. At an early period of his life he left his native country, and proceeded to Tangiers, where he entered into the service of the Dey in the capacity of a surgeon. Though not regularly brought up to the profession, and almost without education, he yet contrived to establish a reputation for himself in that country. By some means or other he attracted the favourable notice of the favourite Sultana, and, strange to say, he succeeded on one occasion in penetrating into the secret recesses of the harem. It is probable that this success rendered him more bold and less cautious. But in the East it is unsafe; to trifle with such delicate matters, and Ronchi was one day found in the inner apartments of the palace, and alone with the favourite. With the quickuess of ap prehension, and the fertility of resource, which, on important emergencies, raise women far above the ruder sex, the moment she perceived they were discovered, she began to utter the mast terrific screams, and, hiding her face in her hands, pre tended to suffer the most agonising pangs of tooth. ache. Ronchi at once understood her, and Was not slow to act:upon the hint. He pulled out hi instruments, without which he never stirred abroad, and pretended to be so entirely occupied in pulling out her t oo th, as no t to perceive the approach of her legitimate lord. Notwithstanding the tor ture of such an operation, particularly when there had been no previous disease, the beautiful creature insisted that the tooth 1 ingenuity t • at the triumphed, andthe as baffled or s iould be extracted.

In his trepi dation, caused • in ent at the courage, and wit of his patient, and the perilous position in which he at that moment stood, he forgot, or was unable, to exer cise his usual dexterity. his impatient haste to bring the affair to a conclusion,he broke the tooth whilst making a desperate and n ard effort to extract it. On beholding the mouth of hiN‘s.Sultana thus disfi gured, the Dey could not control his fury. lie ordered the affrighted dentist to be seized, and con dem him to suffer death by impalement the next mornin n g e . d li n e was, it is said, even conducted to the stake, and pre parations were made for the execution, when a pardon was granted by the Dey, who had yielded to the soli citations of his favourite, of whom he was passionately fond. As may be supposed, this accident completely put an end to any further adventures amongst the mysterious recesses of the harem. He soon after married the widow of the Spanish Consul at Tangiers, and in a short; time. left the country and came to Madrid. Such is one of the many stories, more or less romantic, which is related of the adventurous Calabrian. In the capital of Spain he commenced the business of a diamond merchant and broker, which he practised with immense success. After the marriage of Ferdinand with Maria Chris tina, he contrived to procure access to the Court, and by his insinuating manners succeeded in a short time in getting into the good graces of the young Queen. lie soon obtained great influence over her, and was even employed in secret affairs of conse quence. A collision taking place between the Nea politan and Portuguese interests at Court, Ronchi was charged by the Queen with watching all the movements of the Infanta Francisca and the Princess of Beira, the present wife of Don Carlos. It was he who was employed to purchase, as well as to be bearer of, the nuptial present to the bride, on the occasion of the marriage of the Infant Don Sebastian with the Princess of Naples. He ac companied her Royal Highness to Madrid, and his influence at Court increased rapidly after this event. During the Regency of Queen Christina he filled an important office in the Finance Department, and was also named by her Director of the General Lot tery, two of the most lucrative employments in the kingdom, in the exercise of which he amassed a colos sal fortune. Ronchi and the well-known Teresita, modiste to the Queen Regent, were the two persons who had the greatest influence over her, and, strange to say, these two favourites shared the honour, as well as the benefits, of the Royal confidence, without any serious dispute between them. The (laughter of Ronchi is married to the Marquis di Grimaldi, who condescended to unite his aristo cratic blood with that of the wealthy and powerful favourite. But Ronchi's day is past, he who would now expect to find in him the quickness of apprehension, the acute intellect, and the mind fertile in resources, of other days, would be disappointed. lie is rapidly falling into dotage, and seems affected with more than the garrulity of age. JUSTICE AND MERCY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stß,—The philosophy of newspapers, natu rally and because it could not do otherwise, even if it would, exhibits the most wonderful display of antt.gonistic struggles of mind ever yet mani fested to the world. The wisdom, the wit, the folly, the shrewdness, the cunning, the plausible ness, the truthfulness and the errors, the facts and fictions of the Senate, the Bar, the Cabinet, the Diplomacy, the Camp,-the Church, &c., are laid open and commented upon with all the fresh ness and vigour of extemporaneous - skill and effort. Trade and agriculture in all their bear ings; the sciences and the arts; the new inven tions and discoveries of the ingenions, the per severing, and the profound; the very accidents, the ordinary events and the most extraordinary of human life, or of whatever concerns it, are all here displayed in the philosophy of newspapers. It stoops to the lowest, it rises to' highest concernments of man. Never befbre did the world contemplate such a spectacle ! All the wisdom as well as folly of the past are made to pass in review before us, and to be subservient to the well-being of the future. Your Correspon dent, " H. P.," has been a reader of The Sint too long not to know, that if in irs leading articles it erred at any time, it so erred in the highest company, and under no inferior sanction. Ot Dugald Stewart's powers and character as a philosopher it is almost pragmatical at the pre sent day to pass an opinion ; but it may be right and necessary to remark of many of our ablest men and protbundest reasoners, that in pursuing their usual paths of close, severe, and intricate reasoning, they have too often preferred for their guide expediency to justice; and that statesmen and other public characters hare as often been but too prone to follow them in what is evil, and perversely to turn aside from them when they pursue the right way. All that " H. P." meant to imply was—that, to do justly at the present moment is the most simple plan, and certain way to future good. He has been, for upwards of fifty years an earnest observer of men as well as . reader of books, and he is thoroughly convinced that most of the mistakes which men make, and most of the evils which they inflict upon one another, arise from their practical neglect of the rule of " doing unto others as they would that others should do unto them." This sacred rule is justice and mercy united, and reduced to practice. Mercy, without an eye to justice, would be in danger or becom ing foolishness; and justice without mercy would he equally in danger of becoming cruelty. In human concerns justice should ever lean to mercy, and mercy to justice. In the super structure of human laws justice should ever be the architect, and in their application mercy should be the directing agent. Try the Corn laws by this observation. Did justice construct them ? Does mercy apply them? Then is it just practically to rob millions in order to attempt to enrich thousands. Then is it merciful to pau perize, to starve, and to agonize the former, for the sake of multiplying the enjoyments and su perfluities of the latter. Try any of our other laws bearing upon the daily necessities of man, by the same observation. Is it just to compel the poor family of the working man, which would fain use that most salutary and nutritious article sugar , to pay eight-pence for one pound of it which they might otherwise get for three half pence? Is it just to put a tax of two shillings and a penny upon a pound of tea, which a poor woman might otherwise get for seven-pence ; or a tax of three shillings upon a pound of tobacco, which a poor man might otherwise get for ten pence ? Bread is the staff of life to the working man, and he is made to pay sixpencefor it, which he ought to have for three• pence halfpenny ! Where are justice and mercy to be found in such doings? Their absence is likely to bring ruin, as it has already brought untold calamity, upon the country. Though a landlord myself, whose scanty living depends entirely on land, I must acknowledge that we landlords are mainly re sponsible for many of the present calamities of the trading population, and that the Government of the country has 'most fearfully erred and strayed from the paths of justice and mercy in sacrificing- the interests of the mercantile and trading to those of the agricultural portions of the community.

(YESTERDAY.) OLD COURT. William Perry was indicted for cutting and maim ing Elizabeth Diggle, with intent to do her some crrievous bodily harm. 0 Mr. Charnock conducted the proiecution ; Mr. Crouch defended the prisoner. The prosecutrix, it appeared, was what is com monly called an unfortunate girl. She deposed that she had been living with the prisoner as his wife, and a few months ago she was admitted into the Magda len Asylum, which she left a short time before this occurrence took place. The prisoner had promised to marry her before she came out of the Magdalen. On the 6th September she saw the prisoner at a concert in Gray-street, Blackfriars'-road, and asked him for some money. A short time before this he gave her half a crown and his watch, and at the same time said he could do no more for her. They subse quently had a quarrel, and a policeman separated them and shortly after she left the place,, and was standing at the corner of Queen-street, and the prisoner came up to her, and using a most op probrious epithet, drew a knife from his pocket opened it, and, saying he would do for her, made a thrust with the knife at her side. She put up her arm to avoid the blow, and received a cut upon it, and the prisoner then kicked her on the side, and she fell to the ground and continued insensible until the next morning, when she found herself in St. Saviour's workhouse. The prosecutrix, on her being cross-examined said, that the mother of the prisoner was the instigator of her going into the Magdalen. She also said that upon one occasion she tried to destroy herself by taking laudanum, and that the conduct of the prisoner was the occasion of her doing so. The prisoner gave her the watch as a keepsake, and she pledged it the next day. She denied that she had ever told the prisoner's mother that she had wounded herself ; they said she had done so, but it was not true. In re-examination, the proseeutrix said that the prisoner first tbok her from her home. Mr. Henry May, a surgeon, deposed that on the night in question he was called on to examine the prosecutrix. He found her insensible, and there was a wound on her left arm, about an inch and three quarters lobg, and nearly half an inch deep. The prosecutrix, at the same time, appeared to he suffering from pain in the left side, and while she was insensible her hand rolled over involuntarily towards that part of her person. Witness dressed the wound, and directed that the prosecutrix should be kept quiet. There was a mark on her side which must have been occasioned by some external violence. Cross-examined—Such a wound as was upon the prosecutrix's arm might have been inflicted by herself, but it appeared more like an injury caused by a thrust than by a cut. Edward Parret proved that on the night in question he heard a scream, and on going to the spot from whence it appeared to come, he found the prosecutrix lying upon the ground insensible. He saw nothing of the prisoner. Mr. CROUCH, who defended the prisoner, said he was instructed that the prosecutrix inflicted the wound upon herself, and that her object was to get the prisoner transported, to separate him from a wo man of whom she was jealous. The following wit nesses were examined : George Bucklow deposed, that on the evening of the 6th of September he was in the New-cut, Lam beth, and he saw the prisoner, and accompanied him to the concert, and remained there about an hour. The prosecutrix went up to the prisoner and spoke to him, but he did not hear what she said. She then knocked a pipe out of his hand, and witness beckoned to the prisoner to go out, and the prosecutrix, who was very violent, followed him out, and when they got into the street she seized him by his coat, and it was with great difficulty two policemen could separate them ; the prisoner wished the prosecutrix to be taken into custody—the policemen refused, and said, if they did not go away, they . would lock them both up. The prosecutrix went away, and witness accom panied the prisoner to another public-house, and re mained there until a quarter to twelve o'clock, and witness then accompanied the prisoner home to his lodging. He never lost sight of him from the time they left the first public-house until he went home to his lodging. • Elizabeth Perry, the prisoner's mother, was then examined, and she proved that the prosecutrix told her, that the prisoner was innocent, and that she had wounded herself, and charged him with the offence in order that she might get him transported, out of jea lousy, and she also said, that she wished she had put the knife as far into her breast, as she did into her arm. The prosecutrix likewise told her, that if he got over it, neither he nor herself should live over the week. William Cunningham also deposed that the prose cutrix told him she had wounded herself, and had charged .. the offence upon t he p risoner ou t of jealousy. Mr. Justice CRESS.'WELL summed up, and the Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of—Not Guilty. (B e fore the RECORDER.) William Smithers, al ias James King, pleaded guilty to the charge of feloniously returning from transportation. It appeared that t he prisoner was convicted of rob bery about eight years ago, and ordered to be trans ported for life. The RECORDER sent enced the prisoner to be con fined for six in )nths in the Penitentiary, and then to be transported for life. sioi v_ INTELLIGENCE. HUSE. POLICEMAN O (YESTERDAY.) A young Frenchman, named Easter Pasques, who has offices in Crosby Hall-buildings, Bishopsgate street, was brought before Alderman Wilson, charged with having conspired with his partner to defraud Mr. John Gallowin, of St. Swithin's-lane, merchant, of goods of considerable value. Mr. CLARKSON, the barrister, who attended for the prosecutor, stated that his client dealt in French goods, and the prisoner professed to carry on business in the City under the firm of, Easter Pasques and Co., and the question for the Alderman to decide was, whe ther the very artful offence which had been commit ted was to be treated as a felony or a misdemeanour. It was generally the plan of persons accustomed to carry on fraudulent transactions to act honourably in their first dealings. The prisoner had adopted that mode, and with the succe::s which it seldom failed to produce upon tradesmen who were not very incredulous. The prosecutor stated that the first transaction lie had with the prisoner was on the 2d of September, when he intrusted him with boot-legs to the amount of 321., for which a commission of 24- per cent. was to be paid him. The prisoner handed over the amount with the exception of 19 shillings. Subsequently the prisoner called at the counting-house, and after some conversation, in which witness stated that he had occasion for money, mentioned to him that he (pri soner) and his father had abundance of money, and would accommodate him if he would leave in their possession goods for security. The suggestion was acted upon. Witness deposited with the prisoner 740 pair of boot-leg, the value of which was 2121. 155., and the prisonerspromised to let him have next day the sum of 1711. On the Bth instant the prisoner took away the property in a cart, and on the 9th witness called at Crosby Hall Chambers for the money, and saw the prisoner and his partner, the latter of whom was equally concerned in the affair. The prisoner's partner said that they had received from abroad bills to the amount of ten thousand pounds, and that their clerk was gone to get them discounted, in order to meet their engagement with uitness, whom they requested to wait. Witness waited accordingly for an hour, after the lapse of which, no clerk having appeared, the Partner said he would go out after the money himself, and left the office. Whet two hours had passed away, the prisoner, who had begged witness to wait, ex pressed his regret at the disappointment, but positively promised that the cash should be forthcoming the fol lowing day. Witness scco rdingl: called at the ti me appointed, but Was informe d by t he prisoner that the difficulty of ge t t i ng ___ the bills . negotiated was insuper able. It was the n agreed that the prisoner should sell the goods upon a commission of two and a half per cent., the terms on which the former transaction had been completed, and the dealing was to be a ready money one, without discount, by the express direction of the witness. Here the prisoner interr upted the prosecutor, and declared that the commission was not to be so low as 2A- per cent. Witness rep ea t e d t h e terms, which he said were exactly correct. O n t h e 14th instant the prisoner called upon him, and sa id he had disposed of the goods at the pric e fi xed upon them ; a nd next day he sent home the empty boxes, b u t the money was not forth coming, neither would the prisoner tell the name of the person to whom he said he had Soh! the articles, but called to request an invoice of the property, for ness, suspecting the satisfaction of the party who had made the pur chase, and said the whole Avouid be discharged imme diately afterwards. Still no cash appeared ; and wit that the i ntentions of the firm of , Easter Pasques, and Co. we re not strictly honour able, threat ened to p u t the prisoner into th e custody of a polic eman if 1w p wrote down on a paper the name of dis close the n ame of the in di v idual to whom he had so ld As the goods. erseve red in refusing to witness showe d that he meant what he said, "the p r i soner ‘.‘ lslimsieur L ou i s, 07, Gerard - s treet, Soho," as th e purchaser, and was then allow ed " to g o at librt y . Alderman IVit.soN—What ! Before you made in quiry of Mr. L ou i s w h e ther the state m ent was false ? 1 think hi s conduct was quite calculated to justify you in suspecting that the information was false. Mr. Clarkson 'said that the whole business was con ducted with an air of candour. The property disap peared from Crosby Hall .Chanibers by driblets ; an d although the prisoner had agreed to sell it for a com mission of 2i per cent., it would be seen that he pro mised that amount to another person for the accom modation given in the first transaction, which amounted to 321. Mr. William John Louis son and partner of Mr. Louis, of 27, Gerard-street, Soho, merchant, stated that the firm were dealers in foreign goods. On the 2d of September the firm recommended the prisoner to Messrs. Buliran and Page as a seller, and they purchased of him to the amount of 321., and paid him. Witness's father was to have had 2i per cent. from the prisoner, who stated that he was himself to re ceive 5 per cent. commission ; but no other transac tion ever took place between the prisoner and the firm, and witness's father never received a farthing from the prisoner. Alderman WlLsoN—Then you know nothing at all about these 744 boot-legs which the prisoner said he sold to your father ? Witness—Nothing whatever. My father is now in the country on business, but I am a witness to all that took place on the subject. Alderman WILSON—WeII, prisoner, how can you reconcile these things ?—The prisoner said the fact was the goods were not sold yet, but as he appre hended, the prosecutor would take them away from him, and thus deprive him of his commission upon the sale, on account of the delay, he pretended they were actually disposed of. Alderman WILSON—A great many deceptive false hoods were told by you in this business, and if your intentions were honest, they had not the appearance of honesty. The prisoner asked a great number of questions of the prosecutor, but the answer to all of them confirmed the belief in the scandalous nature of the transaction. Mr. Clarkson said his client would be satisfied if his goods were given up to him. The prisoner—l am ready to give them up. Mr. Alderman WlLsoN—Where are they ? The prisoner—They are in Bridge-street, Lambeth. Alderman WILSON—At your disposal ? The pri soner—Certainly. Mr. Clarkson—He knew very well that if he had given them up he would not have been brought here in custody, and we do not think his word is at all to be relied on. Alderman WthsoN—l think not indeed; and you had better send after his partner, and send a search warrant to the house in which he says the goods are deposited. The warrants were then taken out, and the prisoner was remanded. THE SUN, LONDON ) THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1842. CLEBKENWELL. Mary Cleal,- a cook in the employment of John Walton, Esq., Barnsbury-square, Islington, was charged on suspicion of robbing her master of 571., and stealing 51., his property. Mr. Walton, it appears, left 1051. in a deed-box about two months ago, which he locked, and placed under the sofa in his front parlour. On Tuesday morning last he counted it, and found it deficient 571. By the advice of Inspector Thatcher he marked a large number of the sovereigns privately on the same night, put in the same place, and retired to rest. The next morning he found the box exactly where he placed it, and locked and fastened as he had left it. He opened it, however, and found that five sovereigns more had been abstracted. The Police Inspector was sent for, and he found the five sovereigns in the pri soner's drawer, marked. She confessed-the robbery, and was taken to the station-house. She wka remanded till Wednesday next, that her accomplices may be apprehended. A swindler, who passed by the names of Byrne, Williams, and Thomas, at different times, was charged with robbing his master, Mr. Martin, oilman and chandler, Cow Cross-street, of 111., 21., 41., and various other sums of money, and, with obtaining goods on false pretences. The prisoner admitted the embezzlements, and was committed for trial. Wm. Thomas, who was charged with the man slaughter of Joseph Ellis, by driving an omnibus over him, was this day discharged, Mr. Combe considering the evidence of too conflicting a nature to warrant him in sending the case for trial. (WORSHIP-STREET. A tall muscular man, named George Torbernan, pauper of Bethnal Green, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with having as s a u lted an d wounded an old man, named James Elmsley, and also with having committed violent assaults upon several policemen. It appeared from the evidence of the complainant Elmsley, that he was formerly a weaver, but outing to distress, he had been compelled to become an in mate of Bethnal Green workhouse. A trifling sum of money having been presented to him by a relation on the preceding day, he obtained leave of absence for the afternoon, and good-naturedly invited the prisoner to participate in his enjoyments. After drinking for some time at his expense in a public-house, the pri soner began to abuse some strangers who were in the room, and on being remonstrated with by witness, he snatched up a quart pot, and struck him several vio lent blows on the head. Ilis head and face were covered with blood, proceeding from the wounds which the prisoner inflicted, and whilst he was endea ng to retreat, the prisoner struck him another blow with the pot, which laid him prostrate. A rush was then made upon the prisoner by the rest of the cornpanv, who dragged him into the street, and wit ness was conveyed to a surgeon, where his wounds were dressed. Sergeant Alderman II 7 stated, that on hearing of the outrage, he repaired to the spot, where he found the prisoner surrounded by a crowd of persons who gave him into custody. He told the prisoner that he must go to the station house, upon which the latter instantly struck him a violent blow under the ear and exclaimed "-- you, I am a Chartist, and if there were only a few thousand such as me in the country, we would drive all the police to h—." Additional assistance having arrived, the prisoner, after a violent resistance, was conveyed to the station-house. Police Constable Burcham stated that he was in the station-house dressed in private clothes when the prisoner was brought in, and upon seeing him the latter said, " You are one of the Chartist-hunting villains in disguise, you, I'll muzzle you ;" at the same time striking him a severe blow on the nose, which bled very profusely. The prisoner then seized hold of his thumb and twisting it round, caused a sprain, from the effects of which his hand was disabled. He was forced by several of the policemen into one of the cells, where some other prisoners were confined, but soon after he was locked up a cry of " murder" NN as raised by two poor Germans, upon whom he had made a brutal attack, and he was then handcuffed and removed to a separate cell. Mr. BROUGHTON said that a more desperate ruffian had never been brought before him, and he should commit him to the House ofCorrectionfor two months. COAL M ARKET. Ships arrived since d.

The Chartist turn-out may now be considered as entirely at an end in this district—the resumption of labour at Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge, Hyde, and Stockport, being now complete ; and the weavers in this town, who have shown great obstinacy in their adherence to the strike, having yesterday returned to their work, in such numbers as showed that the gene ral combination amongst them was entirely broken up. Some few establishments, both in the town and in the country districts are still at a stand ; but we believe that, in all such cases, the absence of the workmen from their employment arises from some accidental cause, unconnected either with the original ground of the turn-out, or the demands which subse quently sprung out of it. There is, however, a new turn-out at Bolton ' - which ought not to be confounded with the political move ment which has just subsided. The Bolton spinners, after having been partially turned out by a body of strangers, resumed their work ; but, thinking that they were entitled to an advance of wages, gave re gular notices to their employers that such advance was required ; and, the demand not being complied with, the greater part of them left their work last Friday night. Of course there is nothing in the cha racter of this turn-out to prevent the employers from entertaining the proposals of their workmen, or from giving the advance required, or any portion of it, pro vided they find that the circumstances of the trade are such as to justify that course. We fear, however, it will turn out that the demand has been premature, and that the spinners will find their masters wholly unable to comply with it. The entire failure of the Chartist turn-out of the Bth of August, and especially the return of the work people of Ashton and Stalybridge (who commenced it) to their accustomed labour, will enable us to offer some observations on the origin of that singular movement, which we have contemplated for some time past ; but which for reasons hereafter to be ex plained, we have thought proper to postpone until the peace of the district was fully restored. We shall most likely advert to this subject on Saturday next. The fishing in Lochfine during the present week has been of a very remunerative kind; and the fishermen admit, that so far as the season has gone, it has, both in quantity and quality, been the most successful they have experienced for twenty years.— Scotch Paper. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 31.—Izzet Mehemet Pacha, whose removal from office has been so long foreseen and so often foretold, has at length fallen in reality ; fallen with the hateful system he sought to revive ; fallen, it is to be hoped also " never to rise again." The Tevdjihat announcing his dismissal, and:the ap pointment in his place of Rauf Pacha, now Grand Vizier for the third time in his life, was read at the Porte yesterday at an early hour. About the same time Sir Stratford Canning was engaged in audience with the Sultan, the ostensible object of which was to convey an autograph letter of thanks from her Ma jesty for the presents lately forwarded to her from Constantinople, but which there is every reason to presume was also turned to good account by the Am bassador for the expression of his sentiments with re spect to the Ministerial changes at that moment in operation, and which it had been the aim of his un ceasing and energetic endeavours, from his first ar rival in the Turkish capital, to effectuate. He hal seen at once that the Ministry, as then constituted, presented no basis for the establishment of British influence, at least such an one as was suited to his comprehensive ideas on the subject. Sacri ficing, therefore, all temporary and petty advantages which he might have obtained by conciliating the personal regard of the late Grand Vizier, he made open war on him and his system from the outset. The course adopted by more than one of his diplomatic colleagues was far less dignified and consistent. Their amiable optimism could adapt itself to any state of things, however ruinous. Their viewa extended to the passing day, and no further. Their triumphs . , therefore, are like to prove altogether as ephemeral. One advantage they may certainly derive from these tactics, which is, that their objects of one day (to which, as I have remarked, they are strictly confined) by no means interfere with those of the next. A re markable instance of this appears in the behaviour of one of these gentlemen on the present occasion. 'While the position "of Izzet Mehemet was secure, the Minister was his strenuous supporter and fulsome apo logist—when it became doubtful he held his tongue and grew circumspect; but when, under repeated blows dealt by a vigorous hand, the Vizier began to totter, when it was known that his dismissal from office was only retarded by the difficulty which presented itself in the choice of a successor—then, and not till then (and now only four days ago) a sudden and most spirited attack was made upon him by the preux che valier and courageous diplomatist in question. Rauf Pacha, who was President of the Supreme Council, has been replaced in that post by Hahl Pa ella, the Sultan's brother-in-law ; he is considered able and clever, but at the same time unprincipled and corrupt, but he does not openly set his face against reform, like Izzet Pacha ; he is, on the contrary, per haps, too friendly to innovation. Rauf, the Grand Vizier, is, both with respect to his character and his views, a perfect cypher ; and he has evidently ‘ been put in his present post, ad interim, till a more efficient minister be chosen to occupy it. On the 28th Selim Bey returned from Syria. He left Beyrout on the 15th, at which time there were nine European ships of war off the port. The denouement of the Syrian .aftair seems yet to be distant, but it has transpired that Selim Pacha strongly recommends that the Turkish Governor of the Mountain should be continued in office, es he is of opinion that the appointment of a Maronite would be the signal of wholesale massacres, and that not a Christian would, in a few months, be found on Mount Lebanon. This, indeed, is but the opinion of an individual, but it is entitled to weight from such a quarter, Selim Bey being a man of acute observa tion. In the event of a rising of the Druses, it is believed that the French, who have a transport at Beyrout, laden with arms and ammunition, would arm the Maronites, who are called the French of the Levant, and we must, in such case, assist, in order to create a power, which, if once set up, must undoubtedly be perpetuated solely 'under French [influence. This would certainly be , - ,ad policy, and it is difficult to account for the favour which it has hitherto found in the English Cabinet. There has been a little more fighting between the Turks and the Persians : 500 of the latter crossed the frontier, and attacked 200 Turkish horsemen ; but the TUrks stood firm, and then charged the Per sians, killing about thirty of them, wounding their chief , Koulli Khan, and driving them as far as Ovadjik, about three hours' distance from Boyezid,. on the Persian territory. The Turks Post only five' men. The Pacha of Boyezid was actively preparing for war, and had under his orders 6,000 regular troops, infantry and cavalry. The Kurds of Boyezid, Moush, and Van, were in arms ; 5,000 Lazes were expected from Trebizonrle, and a corps of artillery, with ten or twelve guns, had reached Baibout from Constantinople. Moustapha Sabri Pacha set out from Erzeroum on the 13th, to take the command of the army. To-morrow the Austrian Internuncio, Baron Sturmer, leaves Constantinople for Vienna, by way of the Danube. The 'Austrian resi dents are pleased at his departure, as I,e has been very unpopular with them ever since thy. affair of the in sult to the Austrian flag at Tophani. The nomination of Rifuat Pacha and Ilassib Pacha, as tax comptrol lers, on a mission to Roumelia and Anatolia, has been annulled, the office being deemed an expense at once useless and injurious. The measure originated solely with the ex-Vizier, and was by him carried out with out taking the advice of the other Ministers. The Porte continues firm in its negotiations with Greece, and it has become evident that if there is to be any commercial treaty with that country, the Greek Go vernment must give up many of its pretensions. - The entrance of Russian vessels of war into the Danube' continues to excite a sore feeling in the minds of some of the leading Turks, who declare that, by the treaty of Adrianople, in which Russia stipulated for the free• navigation of the Danube, it was never contemplated by the Porte that any other than mercantile vessels under the Russian flag were to enjoy this privilege. It is too late now, however, to repair the error." CAPTAIN ROSS AND THE ANT ARCTIC EXPEDITION. (From the Guernsey Star of Sept. 15.) The Alarm, Captain T. L. Stewart, left Guernsey last year for the Falkland Islands, and departe&from thence at the end of May last for Buenos Ayres. A gentleman of this island (Guernsey) having received a letter by her, giving some account of Captain Ross and the vessels under him, engaged on a scientific voyage of di scovery t owa rds the Antartic Pole, has favoured us with the following extract : " Captain Rosi and the Antarctic expedition are now here. The Erebus and Terror came in contact, on endeavouring to escape an iceberg, in the seas of the Southern Pole. The expedition will positively be here for five or six months to repair the vessels, and to make observations. " Captain Ross has erected an observatory at the old French fort built by Bougainville. A most in teresting series of observations are carrying on, which will greatly interest the scientific world. Those upon the pendulum are noted every quarter of an hour. Astro nomical observations are also carefully made by the officers. Thermometers are placed both above the ground and under it; mine, with my barometers, are now doing duty with the rest, and have the honour to be registered also. The anemometers, showing the direction and force of the winds, will add much to the valuable information afforded by Captain Sullivan, R.N., respecting these islands. Pluviameters are also carefully registered, and we are now about the end of your Guernsey November. A tide-guage is by the jetty, and an excellent magnetic observatory, where the dip, intensity, and variation of the needle are carefully registered by able observers. The officers relieve each other in regular watches on these duties; and I never met with such devotees of science. -YOu would be delighted to see Capt. Ross's little hammock swinging close to his darling pendulum, and a large hole in the thin partition, that he may see it at any moment, and Captain Crozier's hammock is close alongside of it. The floor of this room is mother earth, from our want of timber. " Captain Ross has been s® kind, at my request, as to add to these observations another . series, to ascer tain the rate of evaporation in these islands ; and Hooker, the botanist, is also so good as to draw up a report on the grasses, the prevailing graminse being considered as unknown in Europe. The splendid tus sack grass is the gold and glory of these islands. It will, I hope, yet make the fortune of Orkney and Irish landowners of peat hogs. Every animal here feeds upon it with avidity, and fattens in a short time. It may be planted and cut like the guinea grass of the IV est Indies. The blades are about six feet long, and from 200 to 300 shoots spring from one plant. I have proved by several experiments that one man can cut 100 bundles in a day, and that a horse will greedily devour five of these in the same time. In deed, so fond of it are both horses and cows, that they will eat the dry tussack thatch from the roofs of the houses in preference to good grass. About four inches of the root eats like the mountain cabbage. It loves a rank wet peat bog, with the sea spray over it. indeed, when the sea beats with the greatest violence, and the sea spray is carried furthest, then the tussvk grass thrives the best on the soil it loves. All the smaller islands here, though some of them are as large as Guernsey, are covered with tussack, which is nu tritious all the year. "'the whole of the gentlementhe eonththe hah expedition t are delighted with the Falkland Islands, and exp y r e e r s 3 s , themselves as being more p even with New Zealand. Some think them in every way better for colonization, even with the drawback of wanting timber trees there. " Al hen the observations made during their voyage are published, you will be surpr.sed at their favourable account of the climate. " In addition to all these SC:elltifle observations, the surveying department is exploring and examining different harbours, sites for different objects in a new settlement, &c. _ _ " The botanist and I started from Port where I had been eight days, at seven o'clock in this nt winter morning, and on foot: arrived at Governm e House by f our o'clock in the afternoon, examining the country we travelled over, where there is a good (101,, of mossy bog. No one iad done this before in on day during th e w i n t er , ye t th e di s t ance as the cr ow flies is not far. "I have tamed a guanacoe f rom P a tagonia• lie lies down before the fire, with his head on ray k nee l like a dog, though he is now as tall as a donkey; hope to get more in th e F a lkl an d I s lands. ' 1 4% browse on the poorest land, an d th e i r flesh is „ venison. Their wool is thick, but I fear not so value as that of the alpaca. Th e mon key from Cape de Verds has hith er t o k e pt hi s health, "" quite lively. I hope soon to give a favourable acel l il e of my adding to our d omes ti c b ree d o f animals t valuable fur seal. " In going from Fort Sussex to Mount Ostat' a passed several herds of wild cattle. The day - most beautiful, and so clear that I saw from C a P j e . Dolphin to Cape Carysfo r t, all over B er keley Sou n Lively Island appeared at our feet. " The potatoes came here in beautiful order hY t he , Alarm, from Guernsey. The onions, I fear, W e L packed in the sea sand, as I lost them, and the Pla tt ,2, bee packed trees, &c. The fruit t rees s h ou ld have ". packed in moss, and pressed down in it." THE ARMY.
