A W INTELLIGENCE. BANKRUPTCY. -(THIS DAY). IN RE TTIOMAS DONALDSON. The bankrupt had been a bill broker and ship agent, in Lower Thames -street, up to the last exami nation, and proof of debts to the amount of 14,7561. had been made. At the last meeting a dividend of ls. 6(1. in the pound had likewise been declared. This day being appointed for declaring a further dividend, the sum of 2s. 6d. in the pound was an nounced by the assignees. CRIMINAL COURT—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) THIRD TRIAL AND ACQUITTAL OF NICHOLAS SUISSE. On the Learned Judge taking his seat on the Bench this morning at ten o'clock, Nicholas Suisse, aged 56, the valet of the late Mar quis of Hertford, who has already been tried and ac quitted on two indictments, charging him with steal ing and embezzling certain sums of money, and valu • able securities, which had been the property of his late master, was again placed at the bar, to be tried a third time. The indictment in this instance charged him with stealing 58 inscriptions in the French Funds, the value of which amounted to 90,0001. • • Mr. Idly, Mr. C. Phillips and Mr. Bodkin ap peared f or th e prosecut i on • - dr. Thesiger, Mr. Clark scin, Mr. Chambers, and Mr. James defended the pri soner. • Mr. KELLY in opening the case said, that the executors of the .Marquis of Hertford, in perse vering with these prosecutions, were only actu ated by a desire that justice should be done. The pri soner had been the valet of the late Marquis, and the During Marquis h a d h a d th e grea t es t con fid ence i n hi m . "uring the last two months of the Marquis's life, the prisoner had had access to all his property. He should prove that, up to a late period of the Marquis's life, these inscriptions, the value of which amounted to 9 0,0001., had been in the Marquis's possession. At the Marquis's death this property was missing, and Was discovered to be in the possession of the prisoner, and it would be for the Jury to say if the prisoner could have become honestly possessed of this property. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to detail the facts of the case, and the evidence by which he pro posed to bring home to the prisoner the felonious pos session of these inscriptions. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS intimated that those por tions of the evidence detailed by the Learned Counsel, Which were admissible, were not sufficient to prove the case against the prisoner, that in fact it would be ' flaking the Jury to convict a man merely because he had a large sum of money in his possession. Mr. KELLY admitted that he could carry his case no further than he had opened. After what had fallen from his Lordship he would not attempt to go 05 1 with the case. The Jury then, by the direction of the Learned Judge, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Tke vrisPfier was again arraigned upon another it,k dictment, upon which Mr. KELLY stated the prosecu tors would offer no evidence, and he was, therefore again acquitted, and immediately_ discharged. CHARGE Or CUTTING AND WOUNDING.— William -Ravin, aged 22, was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding James Nash, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. The prisoner pleaded .• Not Guilty. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor is a chair-maker, residing in the neighbourhood of Stamford -street, and the prisoner was a journeyman in his employ. On Saturday last the prisoner brought in his account to the prosecutor to be settled, and some dispute arose, on which the prisoner became so violent, that the prosecutor sent for a police consta ble, after which the prisoner became snore quiet. The Prosecutor, who was seated in his chair, imagined the prisoner had acceded to certain terms which had been Proposed, and that he was going away, instead of Which the prisoner went behind the prosecutor, and seizin g a champagne bottle, which was standing on a shelf, struck the prosecutor three tremendous blows On the back of his head, by which the prosecutor was felled to the ground, and had his head cut open by the broken glass. The prisoner was immediately taken into custody. He was quite sober at the time. The prisoner, in his defence, said that the prosecu tor had refused to pay him his wages, and had seized him to turn him out of the house, on which he (the Prisoner) seized the bottle and struck the prosecutor In self-defence. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of the whole charge. 'The prosecutor recommended him to mercy. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS sentenced him to six months' nnprisonment, with hard labour. CHARGE OF FORGERY.—Thomas Hills, a printer, aged 25, was indicted for forging the name of J. Mun uil to a bill of exchange. Mr. CHARNOCK having stated the case to the Jury, called Mr. Hancock, a solicitor—Had received the bill of e xchange in question from Mr. Pinner, the drawer of t he bill. The bill lad been dishonoured, and action 114 k1 been brought against Munday as acceptor. The prisoner stated to witness not only that the ac eptance was in the handwriting of Munday, but that ne had seen Munday write the acceptance in White eress-street prison. John Munday—The signature across that bill is not my handwriting, and I never gave any person authority to write my name. Prisoner had been in trtnership with me. We dissolved partnership in Febru a ry, 1841. I was in difficulties,. and was obliged t° go to Whitecross-street prison. I was there in A pril, 1841, and prisoner came to me and asked. me koacct a bill for 29/. od whickl ref Used ta do. ep I cameo tof prison in May following. Pri , airier was then in my employ. He told me he had ~I te epted a bill in my name, and deposited it with Pin ''et• I was exceedingly angry. I went to Pinner's I !'ith him about it, and Pinner promised that the bill . mould be destroyed. I was afterwards sued upon this And had to defend the action. Cross-examined—The partnership was dissolved in 184 0. In 1841 I cocepted a bill drawn in the name ' °I . Munday and Hills. Ido not recollect who drew It,. 'I think it was David Pinner. Hills was present when I accep;el it, and it was accepted by his autho ,itY. I never gave authority to Hills to accept bills. t never said to Mr. Hall that I had given authority ° the prisoner to accept this bill. I never gave him . ' 4l 3' authority to accept bills for me. The bill was then put in and read. This closed the case for the prosecution, CnoucH having addressed the Jury for the I l tisoner, called i ti. Hall, a smith, residing in William-street, -..ni c kf • nars-road—Knows J. Munday, and has had hill transactions with him—has bad a conversation . w i,th J. Munday in reference to the bill which is the t° fie of this prosecution. I had about Si. due Ine on a 15/. bill, which Munday said that Pinner "right to give me, as he had given Pinner a fur .t: acceptance including the 51. Munday never 14 Hie the amount of the bill he had accepted. He "el' m en ti one d th e name of the prisoner, and never aid that he had given the prisoner any authority to It tept bills for him. The FOREMAN of the Jury said that the Jury were b3 ' h° means satisfied with the proof of the forgery, a nd that, therefore, without proceeding further they 0411 d return a verdict of Not Guilty. NEW COURT. Baron Rolfe sat in this Court to-day, and i ' r • Commissioner Bullock in the Judge's parlour. (Before Mr. Baron RQLFE.) 117 : 11 1NT PROSECUTIONS. —Ellen Reason, alias Ellen t Y‘nne, was convicted of feloniously uttering coun °lFeit coin, knowing it to be counterfeit, she having be fore been convicted of a similar offence. The CO URT sen t ence d the prisoner to transportation for ten years. • 411 n Edward, alias Baker, was convicted of a 4 T l olilar off ence , an d was sen t en ced by the Learned 'Judge to fourteen years' transportation. Thomas Cooper was convicted of a similar offence, ud-sentenced to ten years' transportation. HIGHWAY ROIMERY.—James Whittle and George Yhite, two soldiers, were indicted for assaulting John Hoare, on the Queen's highway, and stealing from his person a watch and other property, of the value of 4/. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor, who 'was a gard ener , resid i ng near Pl ums t ea d, i n fl-ent, was going, on Wednesday, the 3d of August, between twelve and one o'clock, towards his cottage, when he was "net by two men, who knocked him down, and took from him his watch and other Fo rty - The blow rendered him insensible, and when Is senses returned, he missed the articles he had men tioned. The prosecutor could not state who the men were ; and would not know them agai n . . George Baker, a policeman, 60 R, was on duty tear Plumstead on the night in question. Saw the Prisoners there, who were quarrelling. lie desir e d them to d es i s t, or he would send to the barracks. Mary Anderson saw the prisoner in the skittle ground of the Royal Standard at Woolwich, on Tues day, the 2d of August. Witness was with them there for several hours. Saw them there the next morn ing, when Whittle asked her if She could show them a pawn-shop. Witness accompanied them to one. Whittle went in, and White stopped outside ; when he came out, they all went to the public-house, and Stopped there till the picquet came and fetched them. I r°R4l . a policeman of the R division, 228, saw the rrisoners on the morning of Wednesday, the 3d of ; t-,,,!lgust, about five o ' c l oc k, co ming f rom Plumstead. IN bite asked him which was the way to Woolwich. Coleman, a private in the 73d Foot, showed White a handkerchief, which he claimed as his ; and on tearching Whittle, they found upon him the duplicate of a Watch. Policemtui R 158 took Whittle into custody at " oolwich ; he told him he was charged with as- a saulting a man on the Queen's highway, and robbing him of his watch, to which he replied he was innocent. Witness, on searching Mtn, found the duplicate or a watch, which the prisoner said was his cwn. Found also two handkerchiefs, one of which s extremely bloody. Afterwards' took White into custody and found upon him a handkerchief and comb. One of the Inspectors of the it division produced the trowsers of Whittle, on which there were marks 4 blood. Robert Hunter, the shopman of Mr. Moore, a pawnbroker at Woolwich, proved that Whittle came to their shop on th . 3d of August and pledged the watch he now produced for 1/. Mr. Wright, a surgeon residing at Woolwich, examined the prosecUtor early on the morning of the 3d of August. He was in a weak state from loss of blood, and there was the mark of a severe blow from the fist on the forehead. The hair on his head was completely matted with blood, which proceeded from a wound at the back of the head, which had either been made by a bludgeon or from a kick. The prosecutor identified the watch and handker chief produced as his property. The watch he had had for 15 years. Whittle in his defence said that the watch was his, and that he knew nothing of the robbery of the pro secutor. Whip said he was innocent of the robbery. Mro32lron RoLr.E summed up, and • The Jury, after a short consultation; found both the. prisoners Guilty.—Sentence of death was recorded against them, the Learned Judge stating that he should recommend her Majesty to commute the sen tence to transportation for life. POLICE INTELLIGENCE BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.) Robert Pickering, a broker's porter, was charged on suspicion of stealing a blanket and pillow; the pro perty of Mrs. Mary Hart, which had been intrusted to his care. It appeared that, for many years, a great intimacy had existed between the prosecutrix and the prisoner, and that the prisoner, in fact, paid his addresses to her in the manner in which such things are usually done. She was a servant, and as servants are not aiwaS's i a place they generally require a home to go to 'when such a misfortune happens. In the present instance the prisoner's house was always the prosecutrix's home. Whatever she required—food, lodging, money, clothes ; all were at her service—without money and without price ; all he had he freely shared with her, and for these little acts of repeated kindnesses, all he asked, and what he did expect, was the hand of the fair complainant in return ; but, alas ! the buoyant hopes of the prisoner were doomed to be disappointed. The faithless Mary married another, and poor Robert was left " neglected, withered, and forgot !" About five months ago Mary left a box in the prisoner's care, and on culling for it, op Tuesday night, she found that a blanket and pillow had been taken. She accused the prisoner of the crime, and he ad mitted it, and—" damning , proof of guilt "—the du plicate of the missing property was found upon lam. The prisoner acknowledged that he had taken the things, which he was induced to do by dire distress ; he had hoped to have restored them long ere this, and he thought that Mrs. Hart would, under the cir cumstances, have given him an opportunity of doing so. Mr. TWYFORD said he was not quite clear as to the felony. He should remand the prisoner till to morrow, and would advise the pralecutrix to consult with her husband in the mean time. QUEEN SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.) Wm. Curtis, an elderly 'man, and Mary Grattan, rather a good-looking, young woman, were charged by Mrs. Curtis, wife of the former prisoner, with vio lently assaulting her person. It appeared in evidence, that yesterday evening, about five o'clock, some words had arisen between complainant ~and the female prisoner, about the lat ter's intimacy with the husband of the former. She, resenting' the insinuations implied, turned upon the complainant, and finished the assault by turning her out of the house. When her husband came home, he also struck hei . several times upon the arm with a stick, and threatened at some future time to "do for her." Several witnesses were examined, who proved com plainant's statement.' Fined 5/. each, or in default two months' im prisonment. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The firmness of the funds noticed last night has increased to-day, and prices are again higher; Consols being 924 924 for Money, and 924 924 for the Ac count ; Three per Cents, Reduced, 934 ; Three and-a-Half: per Cents. Reduced, 1004; New Three and a-Half per Cents., 1004 ; Bank Stock, 167 1681; India Stock, 2501 2511 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 49 52 ; New, 51 53 prem.

The depression which appeared in the Share Market yesterday has somewhat - subsided, although business has been limited. London and Birmingham . have been sold at 182 ; Thirds, 591; New Thirds, 304; South' Western; '63 ; Brighton, 334 ; Blackwall, 81' ; Edinburgh and. Glasgow, 49 ; and Bristol and Exeter, 44.•- • Spanish are the only Bonds quoted to-day ; the FAT per Cents. 20-i, and the Three per Cents. 20, a small bargain having been made in each. The decision of the American President on the Tariff, though expected, has, caused much gloom to be thrown over American affairs here. The degree of uncertainty in all mercantile transactions con nected with that country, forbids any consignments, it not being known what duties will be collected, since all that are now paid are so under protest, it being contended that , no power exists for levying any at all. This proceeding of Mr. Tyler is unfortunate also for the holders of the various State bonds, as tending still further to depress trade, from the revival of which they can alone expect relief, and still more unfortunate for the Federal Government itself, as the new loan about to be attempted to be negotiated here is to, he provided for out of the Customs' revenues. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, AUG. 25.—A slight improvement is perceptible in the Share mar ket to-day. Edinburgh and Glasgow, and London and Birminghams, are in good demand.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCILi.NGE. • The arrivals of English Grain this week hive been smtll, hut of Forei,rf Wheat very large.. There was sc trcely any English Wheat for sale, and Foreign was again 2s. per quarter lower. . Barley, Beans, Peas, and Oats, unvariedi with little doing. Flour expected lower on Monday. SMITHFIELD MARKET. The number of Cattle was short, and trade for the best quality of Beef was: something better, at 2d. per stone higher. The best, quality of Mutton was more in demand. The best quality of Veal advanced 2d. per stone. The trade in Pigs was much the same : and best qualities of Lamb were more in request at a little ad vance.

COLONIAL MARKET. There were few public sales of Colonial produce, and altogether ~the market exhibits a quiet appearance. West India Raw Sugar was taken for the sup ply of actual wants only, at lower prices. In the Refined Sugar market some sales were made at 745. to 775. for low to good Lumps. The few sales made in Coffee did not alter the character of the market ; good ordinary Ceylon brought 735. to 735. 6d. per cwt. Cotton in brisk'requestat_advancing prices. 'TEA MARKET: The market was very dull, but holders were firm and obtained full rates ; largo public sales have been declared for next week. TALLOW MARKET. The holders appeared more inclined to realize, and prices gave way. The best Yellow Candle was freely offered at 475. 9d., while for forward delivery sellers were met with at 41s. per cwt. There were inquiries after South American Tallow, but the small quant . ty in the haxds of the merchants precluded purchases of moment.

SIR,—You generally open the columns of your valuable paper to exposing gross humbug, from what ever quarter it may proceed. It is universally known and admitted, that in the last fortnight, wheat of all sorts has fallen in value 6s. per quarter imperial ; and still at the same time the Leeds Mercury, in its quotation of the Wakefield Corn Market, has not quoted any positive decline. Is it the avowed object of the party who furnishes the list of prices to deceive the public as to the real state of the market ? The result is, that in this district, particularly in this borough, flour is ss. per sack higher than the relative value of wheat, and the poor are deprived of the blessing of cheap bread. Your insertion of this will oblige Wakefield, Aug. 25. A CONSTANT READER. [The Leeds Mercury, no doubt, gives the market prices as furnished by accredited parties, awl can have no interest, except in furnishing correct returns. As our Correspondent is well acquainted with the tragic, he would have conferred a favour by explain= ing hat many people regard as inexplicable—the high price of, flour as compared with wheat, for this anomaly is not confined to Wakefield.] 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 Me 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 Fout,t 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 TIIE NETGIII3OITRHOOD. 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 sontenced each to one month's imprisonment in the House of Correc tion. With this exception all is quiet, and work ge nerally resumed. LANCASTER. There is no change in the state of affairs in this bo rough, nor any likelihood of a speedy adjustment of the differences between the masters and the m orkmen. People are puzzled to conjecture what will be the re sult of this obstinate conduct. A person named Villedon, clerk of the police at Toul, havine , conceived a violent p ass i on f or hi s w if e ' s daughter b y e a former marriage, a beautiful girl of eighteen, and being repulsed with merited indignation, a few days ago stabbed her in the face, for the purpose of disfiguring her. charms, and immediately after stabbed himself. Sonic persons having come forward to afford assistance, he refused their aid, andshortly after expired. —Galignuni. BRISTOL, AUG. 25.—A detachment of the Scots Greys is gone off to Newport this morning, as the Chartists intended holding a large meeting there. The manufacturers at Chard, it is stated, have ceased to work, and an express was sent to Taunton for the military. There was an extraordinary take of herrings in Galway-bay la 4 week—the quays were actually covered with fish of an extraordinary size. The bay is swarmed with them, and there is every appearance of a most prosperous season. LEVANT MAIL. CONSTANvNoPmi, ~Ate. 7.—We are without any further advices from the Turco-Persian frontier. The reports of battles and 'skirmishes, of which so much has been 'aid, to' be ,exaggerations, or totally unfounded; and it is the universal opinion that the differences existing betwen the- two Gove;mments will be speedily terminated through the mediation of Russia. It is probable that a mixed . commission, under the arbitration of the Pork'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 p resen t. G ran d Vizier, v lzzet Mehemet, will be appointed Oulou Seraskier, or GeneralissiMo of the active army—not because there is any prospect of that army being seriously engaged, bilt because it is desired to get rid of Izzet Mehemet in an honourable manner. The unanimous opinion is; that Kosrew will be appointed locum toners 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 aceouchement 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. Fanning 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 eon- Vention. Sir Stratford is also understood to have con certed measures with Sarim Effendi for the preven tion of ftirther 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 ,Great Britain, are fit subjects for the Ani lbassador'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. Tbe Augs burg Gazette, one of whose correspondents has con stantly preached a crisade against the Ottoman Go vernment, turns round and abuses the English Go vernment for not giving in to this impolitic and in consistent speculation. If the Austrians are so eager for coercive measures, 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 an reply to the last note of M. Mavrocordat o , nor i s ft likely that any satisfactory reply will be sent. When the memorandum containing the specific alterations in the Zogrophos treaty, and promised by M. Mavro 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. He 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 mid 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 i s 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 o f some- what smaller dimensions. The sailing fleet in com mission will be proportionately diminished. This measure, which has been proposed by Tahir will be a means of great economy and utility to the country. The Vanguard, Cambridge, and Phoenix have quitted Besika Bay, and are at anchor at Smyrna. MALTA AuG. 15. DISTRIBUTION OF THE BRITISH MEDI- TERRANEAN FLEET.

CASE OF SLAVERT.—The master of a small lonian vessel belonging to Cerigo, chartered at Candia to convey a Turkish Aga, six other Ottotnan males, and three females (described 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 feared that muc h f 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 approachinc , 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, whereupon the Connnis sary of Police put them into a carriage and conducted them to the House of Correction, by way of more effectually providing against their taking any measures for making good their prophecy. 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 oc currence, attended with fatal consequences, took place on Monday in a field above the weirs, on the river Lee, by which three fine boy s l os t th e i r 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 c on d uc t ors , came across a poisonous herb, iEthusa Cynapiuni, 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 'lnfirmary, when medical assistance was instantly afforded, and with success. The remainder of them were taken to the Foundling Hospital, and placed under the treatment of Dr. 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 asai:tance 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 Omnipotent Being 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. Coax.—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. 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 of 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 the 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 lath ; and the Locust, from Tripoli, i n B ar b ary , yesterda ; 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 islonds 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 us to look out for slavers. A HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO slaver has been taken at Previsa, and carried into SCOTLAND. Corfu.

About eight o'clock, r.ie., the rain commenced to descend in tor rents, and the awful artillery of the heavens opened with crashing, 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 ten 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, hut the inmates, though dreadfully alarmed, escaped without serious injury.— Ulster Times. for the accommodation of her Majesty, Prince Albert, 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 yachL Iler Majesty will, •ItOwever, scarcely for one moment consider hei personal con venience, but yield to the wishes of her people by fixing a convenient . early hour, which will afirbrd them an opportunity of Accompanying the' Royal squadron some distance down the river.

MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE. The marriage of Lord Prudhoe, brother of the Duke of Northu m b er l an d, w ith Lady Eleanor Gros venor, eldest daughter of E ar l G rosvenor , an d th a t o f Lord Parker, eldest son of the Earl of Macclesfield, with the Lady Mary Grosvenor, second daughter of the Earl of Grosvenor, were solemnised yesterday at St. George's, Hanover-square, shortly before twelve o'clock. The ceremony was performed by his Grace the Archbishop of York, in the presence of a noble and distinguished circle, consisting of the intimate friends and relations of the noble families of Percy, Grosvenor, and Parker. The bridesmaids were—Lady Caroline Grosvenor, 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 We3tininster, the Earl and Countess Grosvenor, Viscount Balgrave, 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, E ar l 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, Mi ss Drummond, Sir Wil loughby Gordon, Sir H. llardinge, Lord and Lady Robert Grosvenor, the Right Hon. Thomas Grenville, the Rev. Dr. Bull, Lady Louisa Percy, the lion. Captain Percy, the Hon. Mr. Drax Grosvenor, the Dowager Countess of Antrim, Viscount Ebrington, and Mr. and Lady Emily D rummon d. 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 nuptialp 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 of 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 pleaiiire 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 Lady Parker left town early in the after noon for Moore Park, the seat of the Marquis of Westminster, near Rickmansworth, Herts. The rejoicings at Isle Worth and Brentford yester day, in celebration of the marriage of Lord and Lady Prudhoe, were on an extensive and very liberal scale.. The rchbishop 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 yeAerday, at Isleworth, both in honour of an 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 a n d o th er prizes; given by s 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. Secinid Heat.—Richard Munday, pink ; William Turner, blue 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 s t ar ti ng un til the coming 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; .Joserh Hammertoe, Twickenham, white ; John Platt, Twickenham, blue, Second Heat—William Bell, Richmond, red ; George Borley, Richmond, white; William New, Richmond, blue. • Third Heat—Williain Thomas, Isleworth, red ; James Rutter, Brentford, ,white ; William Barker, ICew, 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. HE& MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—The Lord Mayor, feeling anxious to pay every dutiful respect to her Majesty in her progress to Scotland by water, made an early application to the Secretary of State, requesting to be favoured with an intimation from what place and when her Majesty would be pleased to embark, that he might be in attendance to escort her Majesty throughout his jurisdiction, as Conservator of the River Thames, and adopt measures to make suitable preparations for this purpose, in accordance. with the proceedings which took place in the Mayoralty of Alderman Magnay, in the year 1822, when his .late Majesty Ki ng G eorge t h e Fourth went to and returned from Scotland, and in the Mayoralty of Mr. Alderman Farebrother, in the year 1835, when her Majesty the Queen Dowager proceeded to the Continent, upon a visit to her relatives, and upon her return ; and his .Lordship has subsequently been favoured with a communication from Sir James Graham, conveying her Majesty's commands to inform his Lord ship that the t ime of her Majesty's departure was not yet definitely fixed ; that her Majesty would embark from the Royal Dockyard at Woolwich ; and that it was her pleasure that all ceremonies connected with the conser vancy of the River Thames should be dispensed with on the occasion. The Lord Mayor has given directions to Capt. Fisher, the Principal Ilarbour-Master of the Port of London, to be in attendance at Woolwich during her Majesty's embarkation, and to afford every facility fur the same. Tun QUEEN'S VISIT.-A report prevailed a day or two ago that her Majesty's intention of visiting Scotland had been abandoned for the present ; but how it arose we cannot tell, unless from an apprehension that the dis turbed state of England might render her visit at the pre sent time inexpedient. At all events it seems to have been without foundation, as the preparations for her de parture, as well as for her reception north of the Tat cd have suffered no interruption. The illumination, it is supposed, will take place on Wednesday, the day of her Majesty's arrival, when the town will in all probability be most thronged with visitors. The eagerness of the public to obtain a sight of her Majesty may be seen in the fact that, notwithstanding the doubts which exist re specting her Majesty's visit to the High Church on Sun day, all the sittings in that place of worship have been let.—Edinburgh Paper. Mr. harry Monk, formerly a performer of Sallie celebrity at the Old Royalty and the surrey Theatres, departed this life on the 18th. Por many years he had lost the use of his limbs,. and his suffering s were o f the 'most acute description, but they were borne with Chris tian fortitude and resignation. POLICE OUTRAGt. ' TO THE EDITOR•OF S N 1 4 Stit,-11 must . sometimes speak, though it .is seldom I do so publicly ; but had Ta thousand tOillen the crying abuses of these Tory . times would find W.- fieient discourse for the whole. England is no longer F.:ng!and. She has proved consumptive; her boasted Constitution is fast approaching dissolution ; her li berty is infringed and shackled; and even her public highways are no longer free to.the sons of Britain. I declare that I never felt disaffeetioa towards the Go vernment until this night. But when I see my poor fellow -countrymen cut down by , a military police, and trampled upon as dirt; when I see helpless women and children crying in pitiable distress, and in mapy instances covered with blood (for such I saw at Ken nington), I would ask is it not enough to produce rebellious thoughts ? I read of a Prince of the Royal blood eager to embrue his hands in that of Ys. own countrymen, and a pampered police taunting the poor oppressed people with—" Come on, ye devih, we ar: ready for you," actually aggravating rebellicD by jeering language to show their courage. Oh, brave Prince! oh, brave police! eager for laurels, and ready to earn them by heroically fighting a famishing po pulation ; women and children, no matter who, any thing to show your ardour. Trample a few mere helpless mortals under your hor,oes' hoofs, and most assuredly sow the seeds of future disturbances, which may not be quelled so easily .us that of 1842 ! A POOR MAN, BUT NO CHARTIST. TO.THE EDITOR OT THE SUN was very much surprised to see - what little notice the Press took of the conduct of the police on Kennington-common—and, in fact, up the road as well—which I am at a loss to know the reason ; it has never (that I have seen) been brought before the public. I never saw such treatment-that unoffending men, women, and children met with, not only on the common and the road, but I actually saw the mounted police on the pavement, which is near a foot highcr than the road, driving the people off; and many of your readers well know the public-house (I forget the name of it) that stands back some few yards front the road, and there were many people there, with seats for them to sit down, WA one of the mounted police, who came' cantering —not walking—his hors:l along the footpath, rode into that space, and turned the people out. Now, I should like to know what, right he had on the footpath at all with his horse, and a long sword dangling at his side, knocking against the people that were not quick enough to get out of his way: I should like to know who he was; some called. him "White-headed Bob;' but perhaps it wa consequential Mr.' Mallalieu, as I saw by the paper, that he was there ; and a friend of mine, who I stood with, heard him give the men directions to clear the corners of the streets ; and after:they had done enough. mischief, and caused all the disturbance to many-re spectable persons who were only going home from their work, he said they-were to let all respect:ll,l, : • Looking persons go by, but all -blackguard-lookinF :persons they were to -send back. Now, it quite evident that he termed all men that were dressed in their working clothes blackguard-looking persons, be cause they set upon them in right earnest, not knowing whether they were merely going home, or whether they were at all connected with the meeting ; and if Sir James Graham d on 't cause inquiry to be made into it at once, and that made public, we shall sce.. the next chance they get, they will , wliow off more, and there is no telling the consequences that follow, for I heard myself many vow vengeance_ against them, as they would have something to defend themselves in future. And who can blame them, i" they li ke to meet, and d on 't w i s h - to.break the pea ce. which I do not believe they dd-. What right have our preventive force to cause them to do it, which is clear enough they want to, or: . why did they let the meeting begin at all, which they could have easily prevented if they liked ? There were plenty to d'e. it ; but they thought of making a grand job of it, a. soon as a few hundreds had got together, and then gallop in amongst them at once, Which is a thing that no thinking man would have done;_ and I consider that be is answerable for all the miiichief that was. done, for if they had only went lathe people a s 1.11. began to collect, and told thenfin a becoming man lier they could not allow it,. they would have walked away, and all the cracked heads, &c., would haN been prevented. By-the -by it is very s t range we have not got the account o f all that met with broken heads, limbs, &c. if the abOve is worth inserting in your valuablt paper, it would oblige a constant reader, as they are a few facts that came under my own observation.

NAUTICAL ANECDOTIS OF HER MAJESTY WHEN PRINCESS VICTORIA. It is not generally known that her Majesty i% conversant with matters of seamanship as she rear is. Before her ascension to the throne of these realf, no amusement afforded her more delight than fnarin. excursions ; and, during the summer season, 1p:- beautiful yacht, the Emerald, was in frequent requifi tion. Nor were her Majesty's trips. at all times un attended with danger, and the following instance show that a very narrow escarie 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 eruisin,T ground, on account of the beautiful scenery to befound there, a breeze sprung up, and before the Emerald could get into Cowes Roads, fbr 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." Iler Majesty, however, with a degree of nerve seldom to be found in her sex, and oftelatimes wanti ng i n a man, stayed on deck, and quietly, thoukch carefully, attended to the efforts of the - men. Die 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 ti .s standing, seized her round the waist, and had scarcely time to deposit her farther aft, where less chance of harm existed, when crash came the topmast dolva upon the deck, directly on the spot where the Queen had stationed herself, scareel an instant interveni between her removal and its fall ;‘ had 1 4 ,, fallen on her it must inevitably have crushed her - In gratitude to her preserver the Queen (then Pr;icess) got him np pointed as a master in the nay7,/and after her ascal. sion to the throne she order him to be brought 70 Court. He was for some time master of the 14'l; brand Royal Yacht steamer (now called the 8k.:. , !.; Eagle. in honour of the King of Prussia), but it bo regretted he is recently dead. An ample provisioi. has, however, been considerately made by th e for his wif e an d f am i ly.
