The steamer left Blackwell about half-past eleven o'clock, and having taken in the Royal Marine Band at Woolwich, proceeded on her voyage to Southend, re ceiving at every place the highest marks of respect. She arrivtd at Southend-pier about three o'clock, and the Lord Mayor, Lady Alayoress, and a large portion of the company landed. The Lord Mayor, attended by the aldermen, Mr. Firth, Mr. Sewell, and route of the civic authorities, proceeded in carihrgea tvwards Leigh, ut arty opposite to which, on the shore, the boutidsry st is situated, tin arriving at the b tut,d 11y-stunt% About two utiles trout Southend, his Lotdsttip direeteu to , City colours taut state sword to be placed the. t on, ;IA artcr asserting his right as eolist-rv:at.r or the lute. r t'hames, uu behalt ut the city of Loedoo, itv ptet.cription and usage from time item.-ruurial, his Lordship ditectcti the water-bailiff, as sur , conscrvutor, to cause his itani t; t ol tLe date of his visit to be inscribed on the boundary stone. 111 C LORD MAroit then drank, " Gcd preserve the City of Loudon," the inscription on the ancient cone; and atter distributing coin slid wine to some of the spectators, retuned to the steamer. The boundariei of the City in this direction air visiod septennially, and the visit provided tor by qiccial grant.

THE WESTMI STER AND FOREIGN QUARTERLY. Nos. CI and LXXXVI A superior interest is attsched to two eniong the eight principal contributions to the Westminster jthese two are political, bosh foreign, one relating to the French Republic, the other to the Hungarian Republic. The latter, for a thousand reasons, is more peculiarly to our taste, the former verging, if anything, upon a personality that in one or two instances might almost be; designated scurrilous. There is no ques tion whatever hilt that the arguments of the reviewer, to the effect that a violent reaction has followed the revolutionary explosion, are correct, and that •this reactionary !nose merit has met with encourage inetit from the Government of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte—hut it is decidedly questionable (to our coati knowledge it is decidedly calumnious) to vilify the private character of the Prioce President—to de preciate his intellect—to reprobate his conduct for its immorality—and to depict him as a besotted faineant, divined between habitual debaucheries and dreams of imperial despo,isin. Such lie is not. Intellectually he is no Ferdinand. Morally he is no commixture of Tiberius and Sardanapalus. Con ' trusted with his immortal uncle, he undoubtedly shrinks into a pigmy. But what descendent of any dynastic hero would not appear in significant beside the Colossus of Modern Times, beside the most wonderful man who ever inhabited the globe ? In spite, however, of the accident of his birth, in spite of being the nephew of an Emperor and the son of a King, in spite of remaining almost from childhood the undisputed representative of the most extraordinary firnily now living, not withstanding the remembered foibles of a youth whose smallest blemishes were revealed by the glare of glory which surrounded his fortunes, in spite of the blunders of his manhood, to which the greatest minds are occasionally liable,—Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte has nevertheless displayed ' throughout his chi quered career qualities en titled at least to respect, if not to admira tion. Of his moral and - physical courage no one has ever presumed to doubt; that quality having proved hereditary in all those who possess the glorious name of Bonaparte. His personal valour, indeed, has keen seen at intervals to rise to the height of a rashness so extreme as to &pose many to regard his mind as slightly touched with insanity. It is not, however, to his bravery in danger that we would so much direct attention, as it is to the admirable en durance di-played by him under affliction, and the serenity with which he has encountered many terrible vicissitudes. 1V hen incarcerated for six ears in the fortress of Henn he consoled bins self in his solitude by dispensing charities among the neighbouring villagers, and in the composition of his ingenious and generous,_ it somewhat impracticable, " Treatise on the Ex . tinction of Pauperism." The cordiality with which he has pledged himself to uphold the republican institutions is worthy of consideration in one who has twice attempted to seize the imperial diadem, and especially when it is remem bered that he . pledged himself to uphold the present system of Democratic Government at the very mo ment when the waves of popularity seemed to carry him up towards the realisetion of his loftiest ambition. Beyond this, the President Louis Napoleon has entitled hirbeelf to the applause of all honourable hearts for the good qualities he has evinced since the period of his induc tarn to the Palace of the Ely see National. In his pimps and his power he has not forgotten those who we-re his friends in exile and misfortune. Neither has he remembered the opposition encountered by him in former times and under ditierent circumstances horn those who were his personal ens tries and antagonists. Because such appeared to promise good to his country, he has nominated M. Dutisure his Ali, i,rer fur the Hoine, Department, although M. Dulaure was the very man who, during the dictatorship of Csivaignac, opposed the can didateship of Louis Napoleon by means not strictly, morally, or even legally or constitultinally justifiable. As another gage de reconciliation, he dispatched Oudinot us the commander-in-chief of the ex peditionary army against Nazzini and his - comrades, although the souvenirs of a Bona pare must have rendered tbe very name of Oudtnot odious as a sytioe3 me fur treachery and ingratitude. As to the sneers against the French Pre-iiient, to the effect that his intellect is not removed a hair's breadth above the level of mediocrity—those sneers are proved to_ be - ania-hied, not merely by the clever and humane Treatise before , mentioned, — hilt also io a special manner by a work on the military science worthy of the advanced knowledge and experience of the nineteenth cen tury, and—greatest praise of ulll—not unworthy of a Bonaparte. The following sentence is so ad , !likable as expressive of the real nature of the revo• lution of February, that we transcribe it without comment : " The ino,t material fact to hear in mind is, that the igticrninious expulsion of Louis Philine in February was.the smallest part of the revolution. The fall of a dynasty for . wWeli noboJy curd was ittelt a circutn stance of absolute insianificance. It was the financial crisis that followed which c nvulsed France, tuined itiALotry, changed the entire character of the movement, —at first one of national unity and exultation,—into feelings of bitterness atod party hostility, brought into play the worst passions of human name, and kindled the firebrands of civil war." It is very well argued by the Westminster Reviewer that the Provinional Government were not only jus tified in authorising the Bank of France to suspend its payments in specie, and of making its notes a legal tender, but that without that measure society, property, the whole affairs of the country, must have been at once and most dismally wrecked. The real inistdre of thAe great patriots who paved France in February, anti who defended not only France but cisi d i at t► ovLlir,g oft -e r the direct eet o t t their lives, axesrarthe in 3 June ear, w for the the purpos.- ut ulakiug up th e de fi c i t l i l t b y t h e d eprave d . d.-pitrted monarchy. Upon this point the 'West minster argues thus:— is t: t l oo d b o i nle o‘ rt: p s tm a i t t I n ti r tu c e fe w re t t t h o e Lalu p o u o r f . money' N Ibing power vier eomm.dities) is, in tact, not a loaning merely, but a quadrupling of the burden, and atucmuis 111 many CUStli 10 U eontheation of all the tax. payer may be worth. For example, a farmer, we will suppose, pays his taxes, in oruinary years, by the sale of 100 fleeces of wool. A panic comes,—no money is to Ix got; he is obliged to make a fenced sale, tr,cl parts with 200 fleeces of wool to raise the satne amount. The panic tout oaks; Govcrnmettt duob!es his taxes, and he has to bell 400 fleeces of w, of to dibetibtge the obligation. We may thus abily /WC()lila for the s hort-iiv,d p o puli tt ity o f the leading men of the revolution." There is very considerable truth in this manner of explaining the sudden ut , porulari!y which has be fallen tt,e pure, the great, the patriotic, and noble hearted ataresinan of February. in one instance— the first and tort most of all—the tide of unpopularity , is beginning to turn. France begins to feel her ingrati tude t.) Lainartine. The depa! tment of Loiret has nobly 'ranked its homage for his genius and patriotism try ._letting him it representative. The paper on Hungary is a cleverand Hcell copal& red epitome of the.records of the race of the Alagyars from th,•earliest tim,s down to their latest victory. As the first article for the Westmin siir, vi,e find a genial, but rather tedious analy sis of one or two of Alfred Tennyson's must exquisite poems, among these " CEnone," and—the gem of alibis comps,- sitions--" Lock.ley 1101. ' In addition to these con tribu!ions, we have an account of Layard's wonderful antiquarian discoveries in "Ancient Assyria," a detini!ion of the prevailing character of the " Literature of the Middle Ages," an excellent chapter on "Botany," a narrative of the phenomena attending "Earthquakes in New Zealand," and an essay on " Freeloid Assurance and Colonization," together with the usual criticisms on foreign litera ture, and critical and miscellaneous notices. NEW DISSENTING COLLEGB.—An important 1011a cure which has long been in agits:ion for the improve ment of education among the Independent body of Dis senters, is at length likt ly to be carried into effect. The Independents have tor many years past supported in the neighbourhood of the metropolis three separate insti tutions for the education especially of theological stu dents, namely, Homerton, Highbury, and Cowa rd col leges; but the trustees and committees of theseinstitu tion. have wisely resolved no longer to divide their strength and distract their energies, but to unite these three so as to form one really e ffi cient college, with a larger staffof paoteseors than were connected with the olden colleges. and with a more exttnded course of study in the various hrtmehes of theology, literature, . and scitnce.

CLOSE or THE Sr ssioN.—Rutuour about the Houses of Put liament fixes Thursday, the 2d of Aud,ut.t, as the day on which the minion is to terminate. THE GRANJi JURY SYSTEM. One of our most ancient institutions, which has been rather affectionately than merely respectfully adhered to, is that of trial by jury. It has outlived all the storms and turmoils to n hich, in the course of centuries, our island has been subjected, politically and socially: and, conscious of its general good tem dency, we yet extend to it many a tribute of deserved praise. In the lapse of s ears, however, certain attendants upon the system have become • f ques tionable worth, more particularly wh-n, for purposes of every-day convenience and practical utility, the functions originally, and still, attached to them, have come to be perfortned by a different agency. We allude more eTecially to the functions of grand jury men at assiv,ta and sessions, which, in large cities, are . now so completely vetted in the bands of other au thorities, that many persons, anxious to - have the administra'ion of the law rendered simple and unerring, have for long entertained grave doubts whether their continued exercise, under the grand jury system, not us. less at the best, if not in certain cases positively uyelyss. In the me , ropolis, a perception that the secretly performed chutes of grand. jurors are much bitter performed in public by competent nuagistriees, has gradually attained additional clearness ; until we now find even learned sergeants and chairmen at quarter sessions congratulating jurymen on the probable dis continuance of their "grand" institution under the provisions of a Bill now before Parliament, which is limit« d, however, to the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court. At the pre-sent day, whenever public questions are mooted in London which likewise affect either popu lous communities, no long period elapses before they are canvassed in the provinces also. Far, there fore, are we from feeling any surprise that the utility of grand inquests, summoned to inves tigate only half-way into what other parties have alteaely sifted thoroughly, should have become matter of controversy in the grand-jury room of Bristol; and not surprised, assuredly we are nut dismayed at the occurrence. The subject was intro duced during the sittings of the present week, and a " minute" was drawn up expressing the unanimous opinion of the grand jury upon the non-necessity of their conjoint gathering "in such a questionable shape." The following is a copy of the document : " Grand Jury-room, Guildhall, Bristol, July 4, 1849. " Befure separating, we, the grand jury, are desirous of offering a few brief remarks on the question of how far the services of grand juries are adapted to the pre sent times. " It is a serious thing to compel twenty-three men to leave their own engagements for several days for any ervice, but when that service is not only of questionable utility, but may prove worse than useless, it becomes an oppressive bur then. "Of whatever use these correctives of magisterial errors may have been in bygone times, we believe they are now useless. We cannot look back upon the last three days and comfort ourselves with the belief that, in uur !miserable position of grand jurymen, we have been able to do anything which, but fur the present form of law, might not have been as well, or better, done without us, to save the time ef the court, or in any way to facili tate the ends of justice. " The undesirableness of continuing this system at the peseta day having already aroused the grand jurors of London, we have Let n induced to follow their example. " Public opinion, and the press, as its organ, are now all-powerful; and no t i t larks case of committal on false grounds, or of injustice in any shape, can occur without being speedily denounced. "With theze views, we trust the time is not far distant when we may be relieved from the • ffice or grand jury men, feeling teltectly satisfied that the right and liber ties of our fellow-citizens may be safely reposed in the maids of the twelve good men and tat o-, without whose unanimous verdict of of guilty no freeman shall be hurt in either his p eson or property.'" The above was iot put ii the form of a present ment, but, signed by the chairman on behalf of the jury, it was handed into court in the hope that it might be read. Such -a proceeding, however, it tip peared, would be irregular; and, frotn certain indica tions, it bring surii•is , :d that the views of the court, on the question, were probably not in unissn with those of the jurors, the latter contented themselves with entering the document in their minute- boJc. The mode of action of grand juries is entirely ex parte. All that they profess to d;-terrnine, aye or no, is whether there he such prima facie evidence of probable guilt that an accused party shall be called upon to answer the charge made against him. Now this is done entirely upon the evidence against the accused, who is not present, is conse quently not beard, and is not permitted to offer a tittle - of evidence, even at second hand, in an swer to the allegation ; and yet one professed object of the system is to save from the odium of open trial men against whom there is not at least a prima facie case—the case contra to that of the accuser never, under any circumstances, being heard ! But what the grand jury do not do, and have not the power to do, another tribunal has already ac complished. The — c - c — ise - been investigated by the magistrates, the depositions of the wit eeises, on oath, have been taken down, the prisoner has been allowed (after being duly cautioned that what he says may afterwards be issued against hits) to give his own explanation, and to have the assist ance, in cross-examining his accuser and his wit nesses, of a competent legal gentleman ; and it is not until all this has been completed (sometimes only after several protracted examinations), that the justices determine whether or no there is reasonable ground for commitment for trial. Well then cornea the farce—for at the present day we can give it no more dignified designation—of calling upon a grand jury to decide the same question after hearing only one side of the case! Greater proof of the unrespscted and fictitious character of grand jury investigations cannot be afforded than is given by the impatience often manifested by the court to have "bills" rlturned, and by the ready dispatch with which fifty or sixty cases are disposed of by the grand inquest in much less than half as many hours. But a grand jury may be more than unnecessary or useless. The body may be made the instrument of oppression—innocently instrumental, of course — and of actually thwarting the course of public justice. It should he remembered that, as the grand inquest is a secret tribunal, there is no check upon a corrupt witne: , s: he knows he cannot be indicted for perjury fur what he utters there: and facts may be so con mlled or distorted as iiometinies to determine the jury to say " theie is no case for trial," thereby dekaling, instead of promoting, the ends of justice. It was pointed out by the chairman at the Mid dlesex session, no longer ago than Tuesday last, ;hat a maliciously-disposed person might convert the system into an instrument for working out feelings of revenge and spite, by preferring a gill before a grand jury " altogether without the intended vieim having the le..st knowledge of what he was about to do, and might get a true bill found against him for any pretended crime; and aithougn the innocence of the victim might be clearly established upOn the trial, yet the object of the pro., seoutor would llive bet n fully graitied by the an noyance and temponay degradation which a trial in a criminal court must of necessity create." Die jury are herein the victims of the system. They mean no harm, but they are bound to decide only upon ex-parte evidence, and hence their lability to err upon the bare insinuations of any one v‘ ho prefe7s a bill. Nor has the wrongly-accused any remedy (as the chairman further remarks) "against his perjured persecutor, because the pro ceedings of a grand jury are these of a secret tribu nal." Maay indictments, it is well known, are pre ferred, or intimation given that they will be preferred, again,t parties who are alleged to keep gaining or stilt less reputable houses, tor the sole purpose of extorting money from the owners and occupiers; and thus the sys• tern further encourages practices of the basest de scription. Only la.t year, three respectable indivi duals were indicted, before Mr. Baron Alderson, for ;Itt when hen the Lccused, grand jury having t r O e r t g u i l t; i g ed tbe 6. signature g r t i r a u t u e r ebill standing in the felons' dcck,l- adyleuled " not guilty," it was found that no prosecutor was forthcoming, and that the jury had returned a true bill fo - r . forgery without. the original will having been pro duced before them. Now if this case had come before the magistrates, and undergone their unre ostnreicmtedomescnrt o scrutiny, en have thought fiir the Learned Baron remark—" It now seemed to be the fashion to go behind people's backs and s w di r n iu g ld it theytor trial? Well might make charges against them a practice which is clearly encouraged and promoted, however uninten tionally bj the grand jury system. And yet that system, some supposed collateral advantage, is de fended by the judges : Lord Denman, for instance, remarking—" Lean see no benefit produced by grand juries but the co-operation of the middle and higher classes in the administration of justice; but this I. estimate very highly, and hope it may be preserved through all changes, by some means or other." There is another trievure before Parliament en titled " The Juvenile Offenders and Small Larcenies Bill," on which, we proposed to comment in connexion with the foregoing ; hut this must wait another opportunity."— Bristol Mercury.

The Constituent Assembly will announce to you the names of our successors. The Assembly, desirous, after the success yesterday by the enemy, of saving Rome from extreme dangers, and of preventing other precious lives from being lost, without any advantage to the defence, has decreed the cessation of resist ance. The men who had governed while the struggl, continued could not continue to govern in the new state of things that awaits you. The mandate confided t r them has ceased de facto, and they have hastened to return it into the hanus of the Assembly. Romans! btethrenl—You have signed a page which will live in history as a warrant of the energy that slumbered within )ou, and of your future acts, which nu force can deprive you of. You have given a baptism of glory, and a con secrarion by generous blood, to the new lite which dawns over Lilly, a collective life, the life of a peeple that will and shall exist. Under the Republican banner you have redeemed the honour of our comeeon eountty, which in otteer parts the acts of traitors had contaminated, and monarchical weakness had reduced to nought. Your Triumvirs, returning atnw.g you as simple citizens, are happy in the conscienti reeling of their pure intention, and in the honour of having associated their names with your hero.c deeds. A cloud now arises between your future de6tiny snd you. It is but the cloud of a passing beta. Be constant in the conscience of your right, and in the faith for which many of your bravest brethren died as its armed apostles. God, who hath cols. c•.scl their blood, is your security.

The John O'Grout Journal of Friday say:—" A large shoal of whales was seen off Westray. on Sunday evening last. Chase was given them early on Monday morning, when about fifty boats, with four or five men in each, were employed. After a hot pursuit the animal ! ) were driven ashore at Peetswall, and captured. The bunt and death of the monsters made a most animated scene. The whales were to be sold by public roup, and were expected to bring about 400/., which must be of great _benefit to the captors,-csrecially as they bad -a very poor cod fishing there this season, Owing to the boiste rous weather. I3:,~1~~II ~~~ A BII.ID~. We very much regret to announce the death, under most distressing circumstances, of Mrs. Sarah An* Walley, wife of Mr. William Wilkinson Walley, of the firm of Wm. Walley and Co., wooletaplers, of Leeds. Mrs. Walley was the youngest daughter of Mr. Jo.hus Haldrew, of Charles-equare, Hoxton, and was married to Mr. Walley at the church of Sr. Mary the London, so recently us the 21st ult. The marriage took place atter a courtship of some length of time, and with the perfect concurrence of the members of the two fami lies. After marriage the bride and bridegroom repaired to Leamington, but finding the weather so hot they pro ceeded from thence to Scarboro', at both of which places ' Mrs. Walley complained of much pain in her head; On Monday week th ey came home, Mr. WalleY's residence being at Bowling-house, Holbeck. On Friday in lest week Mrs. Walley again complained of pain and giddi ness in the head, which she attributed to the heat, but which, however, was thrown off by taking a seidlitz powder. Last Sunday morning the bride and bridegroom made their appearance at the Wesleyan chapel, at Holbc ck, when the saner again complained of the heat, and did nut eon s-Trend) attend chapel any more that day, but in the • veiling had some friends to supper, and appeared happy. cheerul, and co-tented, as she' had dove ever sauce her martiag.:. On the meriting of Monday last, she arose about six o'clock, but without dressing, re iern-d to bed again, where she remained till after eight o'clock, and at or• ak ast read a cle.pter frem the Bible to her husband. Mr. Walley left home to attend his business at Leeds, at half-past ten o'cl , ck, promising to return again at five o'clock to meet some friends of the family invited ti sisit them on that day. At the time of Otis keying home, Mrs. Walley sppeared in good health and st lilts, and giving him an affectionate salutation, she bath him good morriug. Abut twelve o'clock a ales. seneer arrived at his place of business in Leads, to in. flan] him of what hia liliWeireill=-Mrs. Walley was no mere; ins had xpired from a wound m her throat. At the inquest, which was held on Tuesday, and by ad j,surnrnerit on Thursday, at the Woodman lon, Holbeck, Ar. Walley said he was altogether unable to account for what had happened, as Mrs. Walley was of an exceed ingly cheerful and happy disposition, and so far as he knew she was perfectly happy and contented. Mr. Hal. drew, deceased's hi other. also gave evidence to the same 4 fleet, and read extracts from several well-written letters: from his sister to her family at Heaton, one of them dated so lately as the Bth July, and in all of which she expressed herself as perfectly happy and contented. At the time the fatal act was committed there was no one with her in the house Except a female servant, but there were two bricklayers working on the premises. A little after eleven o'clock the.eervant, who had occasion to go to her for a key to get some beer for the bricklayers' drinking, found her in her lodging-room engaged at her toilet, and presently aftewards Mrs. Walley came down stairs for the key, and was seen by the bricklayers standing at the front door. Shortly after this Mrs. Hodgson, an aunt of Mr. Walley's, who resides near his house, came in to the wash-house, and told the servant that Mr. and Mrs. Varley, of Stanningly, two relations. who were expected to visit them, were coming. The servant at once proceeded to the foot of the staircase to inform her mistress, who came to the land.. ing and requested her to prepare dinner. In about ten minutes atter this, Mrs. Varley, who is Mr. Walley's sister, arrived. After knock ing at the front door rather loudly for some time without being attended to, she walked in and proceeded up stairs, first into the best bedroom, and then into Mrs. Walley's lodging-room, the door of which was closed, but not locked, where t hel deceased was found laid upon the floor dead, with a razor grasped in her left hand. This instrument had been taken from Mr. Walleyes dressing-case, which stood upon the dressing-table. Both the carotid artery and the internal jugular vein were found divided on the-left side, so that instantaneous death would be the result. The whole case is a very mysterious one, and there are many singular circum stances in it. ¶1 he servant says she was in the wash house when Airs. Varley arrived, and saw her pass to go to the principal entrance, at the other end of the btulding; and she had seen and spoken to her mistress only a tow minutes bcfOre this, when she observed nothing whatever unusual in her appearance or demeanour. Mrs. Varley knocks at the door without making herself heard, and 0,1 walking up stairs, finds Mrs. Welley laid on the floor in the state described, so that up to within a few minutes of her death, the deceased is seen in per• tea health, in good spirits, and so tar as is known, sur rounded by circumstances in every way calculated to make lite desirable. Another circumstances is, the dis covery that the door, leading from the kitchen staircase to the lodging-rooms, was found locked from the out side, it having alwa)s previously been left open. The jury were a good deal puzzled -how to account for all these things, but, atter nearly three hours' deliberation, they came to the decision that death had been caused by de ceased's own hand.—Leeds Mercury. THE SULTAN IN PIWCESSION. It was amusing to observe the crowd, like ourselves, waiting in patient expectation to see the Grand Seignor. A'l the soldiers and mote respectable people wore pants loons and the red tat bench; but the lower classes, ever the first to move and the last to be benefited by a revolu tion. adhered to the turban and capacious breeks, with kind of tunic to match. The dervishes were moving about with serious faces, wearing tadrd brown or green cloaks, with felt hats, shaped like inverted funnels, upon their heads. We waited for some time; and as the Sultan wits about to appear in public, our imagination pictured the magnificent enti ez of a great o(torean monarch—troops of warriors; splendidly caparisere d horses, and all the barbaric pomp of an oriental court—when a low mur mur indicated that the p r 4 ige was approachitig. First came, walkieg backwards, the Imaum of the dervi:h.,s, in a high green felt hut, swinging a censer tilled with burning incense, and followed by a grave, melancholy-looking young man, with a rather scanty black beard, the red tarhouch upon his head, and wearing a blue military frock coat and fawn•coloured pantaloons; the coat fringed or laced, with a standing collar; fawn coloured gloves upon his banes, and a short blue cloak thrown lightly over his shoulders. It was the Sultan! He was followed, in single file, by slx or eight persons, attired in blue, some wearing swords, and others carrying small leather pork fueilles, richly embossed with gold. Contrary to expectation, the Sultan had dismounted outside, and his gait, as he passed us, was feeble and almost tottering. Indeed, most of the Turks walk what is termed " parrot-ioed"—vcry much like our Indians. Ascending a covered stairway to en upper gallery, with windows towards the court, he approached one of thee, and looked intently down upon us; but our interpreter imprudently exclaiming, "'Voila le Sultan! le Sultanr he turned slowly away, we presume, to his devotions. Without the court were his horses; splendid steeds, caparisoned in richly-ernbroidered, but chaste saddle cloths, which, as well as the reins and the pommels of the saddles, were studded with precious stones; the head-pieces were t mboased gold, and the froutlets glit tered with gems. The Sultan% figure was light, and apparently feeble. I thought so when I saw him before, in a scmi-obscure apartment, and big appearance this day confirmed the impression. The expression of his features at the mo ment of passing was that of profound melancholy. Like the Mexican prince of whom he so much reminded me, his mind may be overshadowed by the general and spreading (pinion, that the Ottoman rule upon the European side of Turkey is drawing to a close. This impression has become so prevalent that hundreds, when they die, dirt ct their remains to be interred on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus. It is sad to think that, trom the destruction of the Janissaries by Mahmoud to the present time, the very advanceinent of the Tufkiin civitization should increase the weakness, and precipi tate the dismemberment , if not th e downfal, of th e empire! It was a singular sc e ne!_ A few ragged Turks in the old turban, the only-relic of t he past; the mixture of European costumes and the red tarboueh; a company of Christian officers, from a far-off land; the mild looking young Sultan, so humble! so gentle! with BO little parade! so different from his haughty Osmanli* ancestors! And then there was a backgrouud of veiled women—the ghouls peeping out of the graveyard.— Lynch's Expedition to the Dead Sea. Two LIVES LoST.-13etVIEEI1 seven and eight o'cLek on Thursday evening, a most singular and melancholy occurrence took place at Camden-town, by which a poor man named J ohn . Emery, residing at Crouch-end, Hornsey, and a child about seven years of age, residing with his parents at Rawlings's Wharf, St. Peurs-road, Camden-town, lust their lives. It appfre that Emery, who is a blacksmith by trade, was passing over the bridge which crosses the Regent's Canal in the King's-road, when be observed a child fill fro m the bank of. the canal at Rawlings's Wharf, in . t o e th_fi water. He instantly rushed round from thettrelaterso the wharf, and was preparing to plungeintoobserved to to save the child, when he was sudd enl y stagger and fall close to the edge who had observed the on the other side of the canal,of the bank. People occurrence, at first supposedm!_n to be an accident, but i ed motionless whilst the child perceiving w a d t r h o a w t n i t n h g e , several l6lr' ran round to the wharf to happened. It was then discovered that the see what had had disappeared. Ewer m eantime the child s i unfortunate s , and i n i tinhea a n dying condition, was removed, and being found to be totally insensible, and Einer e y ,ntly. „,'' P . ,P d H ie r ai aid sent for. The body of the.child was got out, but life was extinct. Emery was conveyed to the In tirmary of St. Pancras Workhouse, where he received the attention of Mr. H; C. Robinson the parochial our , geon, but expir e d s h ort l y after his admission. Mr. Robinson gives it as his opinion that the death of Emery resulted from either a su dd en d i sease of the heart, or , I paralys is of the entire nervous System, caused by his fright at seeing the child fall into the water and his anxiety to rescue it. It appears that the unfortunate man, who has in the attempt to perform so praise worthy an act lost his life, has left a widow, row in her confinement, with four children totally unprovided for. Mr. F. O'Connor declares his intention, soon a ft er a conference which is to be held in Nottingham on, the 6th of August, to retire from public life.
