The American tariff continues to excite the alarm of our manufacturers. At the meeting of the Glasgow Anti-Corn-law Association held on Thursday last, a Mr.. GRAHAM said, speaking of that tariff — feeling of dismay at the consummation of this mama rias;ww_ very generally diffused through the • - the manufacturing interests of the country; and it only required that a fuller conception of the ruinous ' consequences likely to follow should be obtained, in order that this feeling should be still more widely extended. It had been stated by one gentleman, in timately acquainted with the American trade, that our exports to that country would be reduced from eleven to two millions. Now, if they took nine millions out of our present exports, they might easily fi gure what would be the consequence? Why, our produc tion would rise upon us like an inundation and drown us. Even the half of that amount taken from our ex ports would produce consequences which it was im possible to calculate.—(Hear.) It appeared to him that the public feeling was so strong upon this sub ject, that it ought to be taken advantage of—that a movement for a public meeting should instantly take place, specially calling the attention of the Legislature to the American tariff, and urging upon them to make an approach to the American Government with an offer for the reception of their agricultural pro duce, on such terms as it ought to be admitted into this country ; and he had no doubt that, if such a proposal was made by our own Government, the new tariff would be repealed in America.—(Cheers.) Councillor Anderson, as a manufacturer to some extent connected with the trade to the United States, could bear his testimony to the enormous evil which would be inflicted on this country by the new Ame rican tariff. Those not versant with the matter could not be aware to what extent the working people of this country depended on that market for employ ment. For several years past, but for the trade with the United States, we would have had comparatively little to do in the winter months. During last winter we were accustomed to congratulate ourselves in Glasgow that we were not in so bad a position as Paisley ; but he was satisfied that, had it not been for the trade with the United States market, Glasgow would have been in a condition worse than even that I of Paisley; and he looked forward with considerable alarm to the approaching winter, in consequence of the operation of the American tariff. If anything could be done to rouse the public mind on this sub ject it should be instantly adopted, for he was satis fied that no adequate idea was entertained of the im portance of the question. He agreed with Mr. Gra ham that a public meeting should be got up, and Go vernment appealed to without delay. What steps will be taken in consequence, we will not pretend to imagine ; but we are well ccn vinced that the bulk of the middle and manu facturing classes are, by an unfortunate series of circumstances, so entangled between their deep re spect for the landed aristocracy, their profound admiration for the system of Government which it has framed and administers, and their dread of the lower classes—of late greatly augmented b 3 Chartist violence and Chartist Turn-outs—that they will not take any energetic and bold mea sures to save themselves from the ruin which threatens both them and the working-classes. They will go on, we are afraid, submitting to the landlords' misrule, and bearing the consequence with Chinese servility, till it will be impossible to restore prosperity. One demonstration of hos tility to our own restrictive system, if it he felt by the bulk of the manufacturing and monied capitalists, would be sufficient to put it down ; but that demonstration will not be made, because in fact the hostility is only felt, in sincerity and intensity, by the comparatively few persons who constitute the Anti-Corn-law League. The only way to ensure the favourable revision of the Ame rican tariff is to put an end to our own barbarous restrictions on the food-trade with America, and to that the landlords will not consent as long as the middle classes are indifferent on the subject. So thought and so said, at the Glasgow meeting, a Mr. WILLIAM GRAY, whose words we quote for the encouragement of others : The proper policy of this country was not to wait upon the Americans giving us relief; but to urge upon our own Government the necessity of an immediate relief from the tax on corn and other necessaries. He hoped that Mr. Graham and other gentlemen, moving on this question, would urge that, instead of taking measures of retaliation on the one hand, or waiting for relief from other countries on the other, we should be at once freed from every tax not absolutely re quired for the payment of the national debt. This was the only course by which relief could be given to the people of this country. With reference to the absurd and wicked plan advocated by a London Contemporary, of in creasing; the tax on American cotton, Mr. GRAIIAM said, we believe, truly and justly— He might here refer to a moat absurd proposal, which had appeared in the papers of that day, that, in retaliation, we should put 2d. a lb. on the importa tion of American cotton. This impost was not even proposed to be relieved by a drawback ; it would be an annihilation of the export trade of this country, and would enable every foreign country to compete with us in the market. Even the Portuguese and the Spaniards, if we gave them a bonus of 2d. a lb. on cotton, would beat us in ail the markets of the world. It was the most unheard of proposal than any person could suppose. But between that absurd plan, in conjunction with the re-imposition of the prohibitory duties on cattle, together with the extension and sharp ening of the restrictive system, as advocated by the Tory journals, and the abolition of restric tions, there is no choice. The country cannot halt midway between good and evil. One of these systems must be good, and the-other evil ; either restrictions on commerce are the mode of securing the national prosperity, or freedom of commerce is the mode. Both cannot be good, and both cannot long co-exist. The middle classes must make up their minds, therefore, to submit entirely to the landlords' so-called protec tive system, or get up an earnest and serious demonstration against it. The longer they de lay, the more they will drive members of the middle classes, as they begin to suffer and feel the pressure of PEEL'S new taxes, into the ranks of the Chartists. At this Glasgow meeting, Mr. THOMAS DAVIDSON, the chairman, said— This was simply an Anti-Corn-law Association, and hitherto they had refrained from having any con aexion with party politics; but it was thought proper, on the present occasion, to introduce in a general way, common with similar institutions throughout the country, an expression of their desire that the repre sentation of the country should be placed on such a foot ing as would give to all classes and interests a fair share of influence in the affairs of the Government—Such an influence as would protect the interests of all„se-• curing to property its just rights, oe_ the condition of its perfo rm i ng it s proper duties:(Che - erS.) If the influential, monied, and other capitalists, then, continue to stand- aloof,. from Corn-law Jtepeal, all the Anti-Corn-law Associations in the country will become associations for the ex tension of the suffrage. Then they will be cor dially supported by the bulk of the working classes; and then ou r b ar b arous restrictions, :vhich have been maintained i n sp i te of justice, will be , sacrificed to fear. We doubt if even the great advantage of a most abundant harvest will com pensate the effects of the American tariff. The Tory journals have made much of the po litical article in the last number of the Quarterly Review, and have eagerly quoted its statements to prove that the alteration made in the Corn law by Sir ROBERT PEEL has worked marvel lously well. A rival Review, the Westminster, thus replies to some of the Quarterly's statements: . The singularly satisfactory results upon which the Quarterly Reviewer dwellswith complacency, are, that the New Corn Bill, instead of supplying food in un limited quantities to a starving people, maintained, when the distress was greatest, the price of wheat 3s. per quarter higher than the average of the last four teen years, and enabled the Government to realise by A bread tax the enormous sum of one million sterling within the short period of eighteen weeks. Thus we see (says the Quarterly) that from the 28th of April to the 3d of September, the latest pos sible date, the importation of foreign wheat and flour at ten principal ports has been no less than 2,457,931 quarters, being considerably more than was imported in ail Great Britain in any whole year (except 1839) pf the existence of the late law ; and be it observed that this importation has been made in the face of a most promising harvest, and with less irregularity than in any corresponding period. If it he true that this importation was in the face i t f most romising harvest i. what would have been he been the rejoicing extent i of importation it the crops had proved the average ? And what would not have ratd rsterling of the Quarterly if a famine season produce of the bread tax from one mil lionsbedelot the produce three five • • or millions ? These "singu larly satisfac tory iingular cause of st results" f remind one of the equally captain, whose gratification on the part of the Turkish alion consisted in clearing a large sum of money by on board short of water, and his Egyptian prison ersand selling it to the richest among them at an extravagant price, when the poorer The Reviewer, it is true, has among his singularly satisfactorythe grace to include of food which the people have obtained, results, the supply but he is in error in representing it as unusuallyl indeed natural to assume that if Wit-hi:r e. eighteenlt seemsk weeks the quantity imported amounted to 2,45,31 quarters, the quantity for the whole of the present year must be i extraordinarily great, but the fact is that the eighteen weeks referred to by the Reviewer embrace nearly the ` whole of the importing season, for under a sliding 1 scale of duties a large importation can rarely take place at any other period of the year, and the quantity imported at other ports than the ten referred to is always inconsiderable. A sliding scale of duties has a necessary tendency to confine importation to the time when, our own stocks being nearly exhausted, the duty is expected to be the lowest; and this is generally in September, in the middle of harvest, before the new wheat has been thrashed and brought to market. This year the harvest was unusually early, and as the new wheats were certain to prevent any further immediate rise of prices, the bonded corn had to be released in August, and accordingly we find that, be tween the 4th and 18th, duties were paid upon the great bulk of the whole • the quantity then entered for home consumpti on being 1,718,870 quarters, upon which the duties amounted to 672,926/. ! This fact would be decisive against the principlf e a sliding scale, if the fa rmers an d l an d owners un d e - stood their own interest, for, next to the exclusion of all foreign corn, their object, it might be supposed, would be to prevent any considerable sudden influx, which, by overwhelming the markets, would at once bring down prices to a low level, from which they would but slowly recover. This has happened in the present instance, prices having fallen since the article in the Quarterly was written, from 625. Id. to 535. 3d. In another place the Reviewer shows that of fifteen millions of quarters imported between 1828 and 1841, eleven and a half millions paid duties below those of the present year, viz, 6,392,258 quarters Is. Od. duty. 3,177,016 ~ 2s. Bd. „ 2,175,666 „ 6s. Bd. „ We have, then, asked for bread and received a stone. The measure of relief to the people for which the present Government claims credit amounts to the ad • mission of the same quantity of foreign corn as in the last four years—perhaps a little more—but at higher duties ; by which the importers have been ruined, and the revenue benefited to the extent of a million sterling. This is but a sorry theme for boasting. The same figures which represent the duty paid by corn impor ters indicate also the corresponding quantities which those duties have kept out of the market : and this is the true light in which the return should be viewed. One million sterling paid in a tax upon food is a bet ter test than averages of a severe amount of privation, and a proof that the people have been fraudulently deprived of the relief which might have been afforded by the importation of some additional millions of quarters, which could not be introduced into this country subject to the present high fiscal burdens. Having placed these statements before our readers, we shall wait some time longer to see the effects of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S measures before we make any further remarks of our own. The season has been singularly propitious, and there ought to be no distress in the land. If there be distress now, what would have been its amount had the harvest been short ? And should there now be distress, who will measure the blame due to the Ministers? It is universally admitted that something im. portant is now required to be done for the nation; and the admission is practically acted on by the Ministers, in proposing new taxes and new tariff's; by the Puseyites, in propounding a new creed; by the Evangelicals, in demanding more churches and a reform in the morals of the people ; by the Philanthropists, in proposing colliery regula tions, ten hours' Bills, improved education, and better sewerage; by the League, in requiring the repeal of the Corn-laws ; by the Chartists, in asking for the Charter ; and by all classes, as re quiring some new regulation, if not for them selves, at least for others. " What shall we do to be saved ?" may be said, therefore, to be a question which is very generally asked, and very generally answered. The following extract from " Some Passages in the Life of a Radical," by SAMUEL BAMFORD, places this question in a new light; and while it shows, perhaps, a new ground for apprehension, wisely teaches us to find a re medy in our own resolves:— What, then, " shall we do to be saved ?" We must look our difficulties in the face like men. The times which have been, never will return; we cannot re cal that which has departed, and is still going ; we cannot, any more than we can still the ocean, prevent our manufactures from being set up in other nations. We, have read them too profound a lesson for that. We have exhibited the spectacle of a small commu nity combating the world, and buying, or beating it all round. We have shown the secret of our strength, of all warlike strength ; and they will act upon it. We have shown them how our manufactures pro duced commerce—which produced wealth—which created credit—which supplied taxes and loans il limitable, and enabled us to wield with tremendous effect all the resources of our vast navy, and our numerous armies; beating those we encountered, and subsidising the remainder, until we either had time to beat them ourselves, or could get others to beat them. And will not the nations lay hold of this wonderful power, and try to render it available to their own interest ? Most certainly they will. The novelty of the thing itself would be a great temptation ; and, though no one nation may manufacture to the extent ".hat we have done, they may manufacture for them selves, and they will do so. America, with its cotton fields, and its teeming population, will spin its own yarn, and weave its own cloth, whether we will or no, and the nations of the Continent will do, are doing, the same. They have nothing else to do in peace, nor can any thing be more natural than that they should do so. We cannot, must not, always be spinners and weavers for the world; and, if we could,.l do not see that it is desirable we should. Let these truths be impressed on our minds ; and let us, like a commu nity of sensible men, calculate all our disadvantages, and prepare for the worst. Whether or not we shall be prepared, depends on the exertions of the wise and good of all classes. It no preparations are made, we . may be a suffering fa mily ; but we shall be a united one, and half our evils will be obviated. Those we must endure will be borne in a noble spirit; whilst those we surmount, and they may be many, be subjects for our com mon triumph. It is undoubtedly true that we cannot prevent other nations from profiting by our teaching, nor is it desirable that we should. Knowledge, to be improved and extended, must be imparted, and, like money and manure, it does no good till it is spread. But because other nations may lay hold of the wonderful power. of manufacturing we are not to let it go. It will serve both and all. Within a few years we have borrowed from France some great improvements in the silk loom ; who can tell what other improvements other 'nations may make on our inventions, re turning to us 'with tenfold increase the skill they borrow from us. Though other nations may and must come up to us, and may possibly sur_ pass us, that is no reason why we should lose a particle of our skill, a particle of our power, or should be retarded in the course of progressive improvement. As they improve we shall benefit by their improvement; as they increase in wealth some of it will overflow on us, and their progress will not retard, it will accelerate ours. Have not all the nations of the world benefited by our in ' ventions? and why should we not, in turn, bene fit by theirs? We see no reason whatever, there fore, for despair, but rather for hope in their want, s s b e u n t t i t n o g b f e rt N ) : - n e I the h p e r odNeisdpeodn d a i t n h g o v n i i e e w . progress. To go a h ea d of them is not what we, taken by Mr. BAMFORD, we agr ee w i t h him that it is necessary to look our difficulties in the f a ce ; that the " community, like sensible men, should calculate its disadvantages, and prepare for the worst," and that if proper preparation be made " we may be a suffering but shall be a united family." His counsel appears familiar, it is like a repetition of our own thoughts; it wears the air of common-place, but it is nevertheless true wisdom. The exertions of the wise and good of all classes are required to make the people happy and contented, not to keep far in advance of other nations. To accomplish this, sacrifices may be required of all. The worst feature at present in our con dition is, that each class insists on the other bearing all the burdens, and will bear as little as possible itself. Each class throws its fair share on the class below it, and so, generally, all the burdens fall on the lowest. It might be, and ought to be, expected, that the upper classes should set a better example, and that they should overflow with patriotism instead of selfishness. It is not so, however. If the happiness of a people can be better insured by manners than laws, it is high time to look for the cure of the public disorders, and to expect the salvation of the nation from a reformation in the manners and morals of the aristocracy. We have given an extract from the Devon port Independent relative to Municipal Elections for the borough. The Tories are making great and, iu our opinion, unwarrantable exertions to obtain a,majority in the Council, in order to re turni"lii. Tory MeMbers at the next election. What, for instance, can be more unwarrantable, or more unbecoming, than the chief clerk of one of her MAJESTY'S ships of war minglin g c , in city politics to the neglect of his duty as a Govern ment officer ? All persons of this description are generally regarded as impartial spectators, and when they step out of their line of duty should be treated as intruders. Conduct like this, how ever, will meet its reward. It will incite the citizens, to defend their rights in opposition to the underlings of office, who wish to pay court to the present Government by using their in - fiuence for the suppression of public opinion. The burgesses of Devonport have . maintained many successful contests in the cause of freedom, and at the ensuing elections we-- are confident they will maintain their character; COURT CIRCULAR.

TIIE QUEEN AND PRINCE ALBERT AT HAW TFIORNDEN.—The Royal pair had expected that their visit to this romantic spot was to have been entirely private. But the mere possibility that the Queen and Prince Albert might drive to this lovely place had brought together a great concourse of people of all classes in the neighbourhood. On the arrival of her Majesty and his Royal Highness, they seemed astonished at the number of persons who were assembled; and when the Queen looked down from the elevated ground near the old family man sion -house, on the mass of people below, she became evidently very anxious ; a n d the cause o f thi s anxiety was explained when, after her convening with the Prince and the Duchess of BUccleuch, Col. Bouverie intimated that the Queen could not visit the caves, in consequence of probable risk of injury to herself and others, if the people followed down the descent. The Rev. M. C. Mackenzie, the clergyman of the parish in which Hawthornden is situated, whose advice was asked by Prince Albert, and to whom the Queen addressed a few words, said that the people would form themselves on each side of' the path, which leads through the garden to the caves, and remain firm as a wall. On this assurance, the Royal party, consisting of the Queen, Prince Albert, the Duchess of Buccleuch, and Colonel Bouverie, pro ceeded to the caves between the two lines of people, who, without a single exception, stood steady in their places. The Royal party when they left were greeted with a cheer that made the woods re-echo the feeling of joyfulness that animated every one who had the good fortune to be a witness of the agreeable visit of the Queen and Prince Albert to classic Haw thornden. The Victoria steamer is performing her last trip between Bordeaux and Southampton. She has been running all the summer at an enormous loss. Her crew consists of 40 hands, and she has been perform ing a voyage to and fro once a fortnight. To make her trips pay, she ought to carry each voyage 100 tons of cargo and between 40 and 50 passengers ; and she has never had on board during one voyage more than 40 tons of cargo, nor more than 20 passengers. The question is now decided that Bordeaux and Southampton is not a profitable station for steam na vigation. Bordeaux is a port anciently connected with Southampton, and a few years ago two sailing vessels *regularly traded between the two ports. Both those vessels were wrecked, and the intercourse ceased for several years. • FATAL CASUALTY. — We regret to learn that an ag gravated and fatal case of assault, if not a case of murder, took place in Calton on Wednesday last. It appears that on the day in question, two men, named Robert Campbell and William Smith, in the employ ment of Peter Neil, nailer, in Main-street, Calton, had had some difference or quarrel, when Campbell seized the red-hot rod of iron with which he was working, and, by thrusting it against the abdomen of Smith, inflicted several severe wounds or burns. In consequence of this assault, the unfortunate man died on Thursday afternoon. Campbell has been appre hended.—Glaszow Argus% FROME—Notwithstanding accounts from all quar ters represent the game this year to be unusually abundant, we have heard of nothing in this neigh bourhood to beat the performance of Mr. Fortescue Horner and Mr. Tudw a y, who on the 9th of this month, on the manor of Coleford, killed 25 brace, besides hares:and landrails ; and this in despite of a heavy rain which fell d ur i ng gr eat part of the day, an y. was m uch larger, b u t over ground on which b ut a f e w days before 24 ,i brace had been brought t o b ag.

DORWARD.—W e are truly happy to learn that the health of our worthy and philanthropic citizen, Mr. Dorward, is so much improved, that for some time past he has been in the habit of taking an airing in his garden for a short time in the afternoon when the weather permitted. On Wednesday last, being one of the finest days we have had this season, Mr. Dorward entered the carriage of William 'White, Esq., and, accompanied by Captain White, inspected the operations at the New 'Wet Dock , t he im p rovements at the Museum, sc., an d then drove to the House of Refuge, the inmates of which, from the octogenarian to the child of five y ears , have been on the qui vice f3r several days past, in the expectatio n of a visit from their worthy benefactor. Mr. Dor ward was received at the vestibule by M r . Moodie and Mrs. Black the matron, and cond uc t e d t o the hall ; an affectionate welcome was ther e g i ven himby the children singing an hymn. The R ev . M r . Lyall, chaplain to the in stitution, offered up a fervent and impressive prayer for the Divine blessing on the beneficent founder. The kind-hearted gentleman and a few of his friends then sat down to an excellent entertainment, provided at his own expense, at which he expressed himself as being highly delighted with. his visit, and his gratifi cation at the clean and healthy appearance of the in mates, and the orderly and becoming manner in which they appeared before him. Mr. Dorward then placed in the hands of M r. M oo die a handsome sum , to pro vide snuff and t o ba cco f o r the old people , and sweet- Meats for th e young at ti le approaching market. On leaving the ins tit ut i on the inmates, young and old, ~ aluted him with three hearty cheers.---112ontros( Standard, . . . . LEVANT MAIL CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 7.—Great changes haVidg taken place among the Governors of provinces, the late Grand Vizier, Izzett Mehmed Pacha, has been named Mushir of Adrianople ; Said Pacha, of An gora • Vedjhi Pacha, of Aleppo and Orfa; Esaad Pasha, of Tripoli, of Syria, and Saida ; Ismael Pacha, of Diarbekir and the mining districts; and Izzett Pacha is appointed Ferik of Jerusalem. It was probably deemed necessary to place Izzett Mehmed Pacha in Rumelia, as he is an active and enterprising man, such a one as may be needful at this moment, when Russian intrigues are so rife in Servia and that neighbourhood. The popular party at Servia is anxious to get back Prince Milosch, who has always been friendly to the Porte. Shekib Effendi is now there to look into the state of matters, and is shortly expected at the capital with his report. In regard to the Syrian question, it is almost uni versally thought that it will be settled on the footing that a Maronite Prince and a Druse Prince are to be named by the Porte, to act under the supervision of a Turkish Pacha. In the public ordinance appointing the present Vizier, it is said, " You are to exert your self to augment the proved amity of friendly Powers," and many think that this expression is a kind of indi cation that all will be compliance and submission in his relations with them ; but those who best know Ihe Turks regard it as a mere form of words, to which no pledge whatever can be attached. The Porte may have modified its measures, but the Ottomans must change their natures too if a matter of so much im portance is brought to a hasty conclusion, and the menacing visit of French ships of war to Syria, with that of English ships, to look after the Frenchmen, will hardly materially accelerate it. The winter is coming on, and these maritime demonstrations will probably have ceased before the mere forms of discus sion are got through. There have been more skirmishes on the Persian frontier, but the attitude of the Porte being purely defensive, there will be time for the receipt of in structions from Great Britain (shortly expected) to guide our Ambassador with regard to the ba.sis of an arrangement between the belligerents, before any thing like a war can break out. Hostilities, it is pro bable, will cease without a decided rupture. Ashkar Pacha, the late Governor of Tripoli, arrived here three days ago, and an inquiry is to take place on the subject of his conduct during his administra tion of that regency. He came from Smyrna in the Crescent steamer, and if he is so fond of seeing people retreat from the world as he is reputed to be, he had a rich treat on his passage up. The steamer came across a boat of the country, beating against the wind, and accidentally ran her down. A wild cry of terror, a crash, were heard, and silence succeeded. The boat, and all hands on board, disappeared and pe rished. Sami Pachi is going off in the Egyptian steamer, Reshid, on Saturday next. He takes down to Mehe met Ali the splendid decoration of a Grand Vizier, which rank is now granted to him personally, osten sibly for the services he has rendered the Sultan. Some time back he demanded the title of Khan, which, in Turkey, is granted only to the Sultan, hut he is contented with th a t appropriate to the Grand Vizier for the present. A note has been given in by the Greek Minister, regarding the differences between the Court of Athens and the Porte. It is; under discussion here, and that affair will go on indefinitely unless Greece see its inte rest in bringing it to a term by suitable concessions. ALEXANDRIA, SEPT. 6.—The all-absorbing news of the day is the promotion of Mehemet .. 3 1.1i to the high dignity of Honorary Grand Vizier of the whole Ottoman empire, of which he received the first news by the French steamer, while tl.!e arrival from Con stantinople is daily expected of Sami Pacha, en charged with the official investiture of his new rank with the accompanying decoration. The quarantine on vessels from Syria was taken off yesterday. The movements of vessels of war in our ports have been the arrival of the French corvette Diligente, from Syria, on the 27th ult., on free pratique. The departure, on the Ist inst., for Syria, of the Vernon frigate, where she relieves the Inconstant, ordered for Malta ; and the arrival yesterday of the Phoenix steamer from Beyrout, where she left everything quiet. The Cambridge and Vanguard left the same day for this port, where they are likely to remain some time. The French squadron had left Beyrout for Smvrna. The 'Egyptian fleet left the port on the 29th ult., and on the 3d inst. Said Pacha proceeded on board to assume the command. ,They are still cruising off the port, apparently waiting for orders, and people are much puzzled to guess what they are going to do. The squadron consists of the following vessels : Ships of the line—Mansourah 102 guns ; liouris, 110 ; Lima, 110 ; lialab, 90 ; E 1 Fayoum, 90 ; Bern souiff, 110. Frigates--Behera, 60 ; Darnanhour, 58 ; Raschid, 58. Brigs—Washington, 16 ; Tempsa, 16 ; Semindegehat, 10; and a cutter tender. Whil3t there remain in port laid up in ordinary, hardly likely to be wain made seaworthy, the following ships of the line :- 2 Nlehallel Kibir, 102 guns ; Alexandria, 90 ; Aboukir, 84 ; Cairo, 110 ; Acre, 110 ; besides several frigates and corvettes gone as transports to the coast of Caraniania for bullocks, to supply the deficiency caused by the frightful mortality among the cattle, which still continues; and it is to be hoped may not verify the fears of many parties, who see in this disease, as has before happened, a forerunner of a severe plague after the cessation of the present hot. weather. The Government has made two auction sales of Shiflik produce ; one on the 29th ult. of 5,000 ardebs wheat, 46 piastres and 12p duty, or about 17s. 6d. per quarter ; 10,000 ard. beans, 28p and 12p duty, or about 10s. 6d. per quarter; 5,000 ard. lentils, 28p and 12p duty, or about 10s. 6d. per quarter ; 5,000 more ard. wheat put up at 45p were asked without a bid. And on the 2d instant, 10,000 ard. beans, at 28p and 12p duty, or 10s. 6d. per quarter; 5,000 ard. lentils, at 28p and 12p, or 10s. 6d.; 10,000 ard wheat, put up at 45p, were withdrawn without a bid. The Nile has risen well. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, SEPT. 15.—DISTRIBUTION OF THE FLEET. —The Queen, 110, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir E. W. C. R. Owen ; Howe, 120, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir F. Mason ; Ceylon, receiving ship, bearing the flag of Rear - Admiral Sir J. Louis Impregnable, 104; Rodney, 92; Monarch, 84; Indus, 78 ; Scout, 18 ; Savage, 10 ; Geyser, Hecate, Phoe nix, and Devastation, war-steamers ; Polyphemus and Alecto steam-packets, and Locust steam-tender, are at Malta. The Formidable, 84, Thunderer, 84, Bel videra, 38, Jaseur, 16, and Lizard steam-tender, are a' Gibraltar. The Vanguard, 80, Cambridge, 78, Ver non, 50, Inconstant, 36, and Vesuvius war-steamer. are on the coast of Syria. The Magicienne, 24, a Smyrna; the Stromboli war-steamer at Constanti nople ; Cyclops steam-frigate at, and the Medea war steamer on her way to Alexandria; the Beacon and Magpie surveying vessels at Suda, in Candia : L'Aigle, 24, at Corfu ; the Snake, 16, at Tunis ; and the Prometheus steam-packet on her way to Patras and the lonian Islands. Movements since the sth inst.—The Locust steam tender was despatched to Tunis and Tripoli - on the 6th, and returned without bringing any news of im portance. On the 6th the Danish frigate Thetis having on board his Serene Highness the Prince o Hesse Cassel, was towed out to sea by the Medea which vessel, on casting off, the crew mounting tht rigging gave three hearty cheers, and dipped the colours three times, which was returned by the crew of the Medea. The frigate thereupon set her courses, making the best of her way to Naples. Thr Polyphemus arrived on the 9th from Patras and the lonian Islands, and proceeds on the 19th to Gib raltar with the mails for England. The Savage re turned from her cruise in the channel of Malta on thr 11th, having fallen in with no French ships of war On the same day (one day before her time) thf Oriental came in from England and Gibraltar and tilt Prometheus having arrived with the London overland mail of the 6th on the 14th instant, the Oriental went on to Alexandria last night in company with the lat ter, which touches at Suda. We believe she will re lieve the Cyclops. The Scout arrived on the 12th from Corfu, and the Phoenix on the 13th from Alex andria. By the latter we learn tbat Mehemet Ali hap been nominated by the Sultan Honorary Grand Vi zier of the whole Ottoman empire, and his son Ibra him will, it is reported, be nominated Commander-in chief of the Ottoman forces on the frontiers of Persia. The Phoenix, Vesuvius, Thunderer. and Cambridge. are ordered to England. The former will proceed immediately. The Vesuvius will perhaps be relieved by the Devastation. The Prometheus left with the mails for Patras and the lonian Islands this morn ing. His Excellency Sir E. Owen, the Comman der-in-Chief, has embarked, but we do not credit a rumour which prevailed that the fleet is going to sea. For the past four days a Court-martial has sat on board the Impregnable, for the trial of Lieut. Lionel R. Place, of the Queen (at his own re quest), in consequence of one of the boys of the ship having charged him with taking improper liberties with him on board, on the sth instant. The Court, after a most patient investigation, and after hearing a most elaborate and lengthy defence from the prisoner. who was assisted by Mr. Advocate Griffiths and Mr. Solicitor Stevens, declared the charge not only not proved, but false, and without the slightest founda tion, and acquitted the prisoner accordingly. On re turning the prisoner his sword, the President of the Court expressed its satisfaction at giving him so full an acquittal. The prisoner will, however, have to stand his trial on another similar charge advanced by another boy, which trial is fixed for to-morrow ; but from the very high character the prisoner bears, and the notorious bad one of the accusers, no other than a favourable result is - anticipated; and, indeed, we understand the Admiral has only granted this second trial at the pressing request of Lieut. Place, who deemed it necessary for the clearing up of his cha racter in the minds of the whole service. Another court of inquiry has taken place on board the Geyser (which really seems an- unhappy ship), for the trial of gefgeThit Baynes, R.M., for contemptuous conduct. He has been tdditeed to the ranks. His vessel got ashore in port yesterday. SPAIN. MADRID, SEPT. 20.—The union of the offices of Inspector of Infantry and of Provincial Militias, spoken of here for some time back as likely to take li place, has at length been effected, and officially an- nounced in the Gazette of this morning. The united office of Inspector-General of both branches of the army is in future to be held by General Linage, who before exercised that of Provincial Militias only. The duties are most important. The great satisfaction given by General Linage in his former capacity, is a sufficient security of his being equally efficient in his new situation. He is an excellent man of business. The petitions and claims of the humblest soldier in the army are immediately attended to and dispatched by him. The inhabitants of the island of Cuba would seem to have gained little by the removal of Mr. Turnbull from the Consulship of that place. The Corres sponsal of this evening describes him, on the faith of a correspondent, in the following terms Every day the situation of the island of Cuba would appear to be growing worse. The celebrated ex-Consul Turnbull has installed himself in the Ponton in the harbour; and from thence, as from a sanctuary, con tinues his feats, writing to the authorities, and alarm ing the pacific inhabitants with new threats and fears." The Corresponsal then goes on to describe English men and English philanthropy. The good-natured and correct touches of the pencil of the Corresponsal are worth thG copying. " Often," it says, " have we called the attention of the Government towards that precious gem (the Island of Cuba) so covetted by foreigners, but more particularly by those avaricious islanders (the English), who have had their eyes fixed upon it for upwards of half a century, and who have been trying every means to gain a footing there. That cursed slave-treaty was the first means they tried for this purpose, under pretext of excessive phi lanthropy. The philanthropy of the English, indeed! —those egotists par excellence—the notion of self interest and avarice, which sacrifices everything to its own ends !" This, you will recollect, is written in a journal particularly addicted to sermonising upon public morals, and high church politics. Its illustra tions of the dogma of Christian freedom, and of the Commandment about slander are excellent. Fives, Active, 261 cash to-day. FRANKFORT. SEPT. 19.—The news from the East is looked upon here as favourable to the interests of civilization and of the stability of peace. The fall of Izzett which the Austrian Observer connects with the con cessions to Persia and the facilitation of the trading connexion between the Porte and that empire, seems to announce a disposition to return to the new system of financial management from which the late Vizier had departed, and by so doing impeded the regenera tion of the tottering State. Had this revolution in the capital taken place sooner, it might have prevented that in Servia, which is much to be regretted. The news of the flight of Prince Michael from Belgrade to the Austrian side of the Save reached this city but a few hours before the arrival of one of the principal actors in the drama—no less a personage than Prince Milosch himself. The peace which Servia has for some years now enjoyed was obnoxious to the Turkish party, par excellence, at Constantinople, whose organ Izzett Paella was. In Russia the notion of a princi pality enjoying independence without protection was alio an unpleasant one. Lord Palmerston thought, of course, the same, and called away Colonel Hodges, in order that the Servians might feel how much they were abandoned to their fate, when a Vizier like Izzett should take it into his head to undermine or threaten their privileges. Letters, bearing date the Bth inst., from the north of Turkey, mention the arrest of two Russian emis saries by the Turkish authorities in Bulgaria and Macedonia, who are accused of inveigling the Rayas to rebellion against the Turks. It is well known that a spirit of insubordination has for some time pre vailed among the clergy of the Greek Church in Bulgaria, who have refused obedience to the Patriarch of Constantinople. The arrested party (one has escaped) can perhaps throw light on these proceedings. Will these facts at length open people's eyes on both sides of the water, or is this timely detection to pass over with a suicide or a purchased bowstring and a disavowal ? Or will the civilized States of Europe acknowledge it to be to their interest to advise the Turks to allow fair freedom, civil and religious, to the principalities and provinces on the Danube, and on these terms to guarantee to the Porte the undis puted sovereignty of lands which she can hold by no other means ? The same accounts mention that the Servians, who probably immediately felt the absurdity of the posi tion into which they had been hurried, were nego tiating with Prince Michael for his return. The King of Prussia is holding Court at his restored Castle of Stolzenfels, near Coblentz. Prince Metter nich is doing the same at Johannisberg, and has a large diplomatic circle round him, including the Eng. lish and Russian Ambassadors. It is thought that, besides commercial questions, others of a delicate nature are discussed there, amongst them the mar riage of the Queen of Spain. ALNWIC C, SEPT. 27.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived at Alnwick Castle this morning, at twelve o'clock, on a visit to his Grace the Duke of Northumberland. Lord Ravensworth and Lady also arrived in the course of the afternoon. Sir Watkins Wynn, Mr. Murray Ainsley, Captain Murray, and Lord Redesdale are also amongst the distinguished visitors at present at the Castle. An address to his Royal Highness from the inhabitants of this town was yesterday afternoon presented to him, and to which he replied in suitable terms. His Royal Highness intends going to see Warkworth and Barn burgh Castles. It is rumoured that the. Queen and Prince Albert will go to Brighton by the railroad ; but that the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal are to pro ceed by the usual route, for the convenience of the ,Royal infants. Her Majesty, however, has been ad vised to go direct from Buckingham Palace or Pad dington to the Croydon station, which can be accom plished, by pas s i ng o v er Vauxhall-bridge, in the same or less time than to the City terminus. Her Majesty will thereby avoid the noise and confusion, already too great, at the latter place, until the new and more commodious station is complete. A FEAT.—On the morning of the day on which her Majesty arrived in Edinburgh from the North, wo Lothian farmers having occasion to attend the Falkirk Tryst, started from the neighbourhood of lusselburgh in a gig, drawn by an old Irish pony little more than fourteen hands high. After trans - their bUsiness in the Tryst, a horse which they had purchased was put into the gig, by way of relieving - the pony, which was then led alongside of the gig by one of the party. On arriving at. Fal '(irk, .on their way home, they found that the Queen had passed some time before, and was sup posed to'bo about four miles ahead. One of them lever having seen her Majesty, was greatly disa l ,- )ointed, and after an instant's consideration, left the gig. threw the end of the halter over the pony's neck to serve as a bridle, and in another moment was seated on its bare back. Although her Majesty was tra velling sometimes at the rate of 16 miles an hour, he ;alloped on, and having overtaken them in the neigh ')ourhood of Linlithgow, rode with the royal cortege into Edinburgh—the whole journey from Falkirk 'wing performed without a saddle or bridle, within two hours by a pony which had previously been driven 36 miles ! The pony came in fresh, immediately took his feed, and next day seemed nothing the worse of his ride.—Scotsman. A HEATHEN HOSPITAL.—The Rev. Mr. Allen, an American missionary, in giving details concerning the various public institutions in Bombay, thus notices what every one must regard as a most singu lar establishment :—" It has been said that heathen ism never furnished an hospital. There is at least one exception to the truth of this remark. There is one here, supported at an expense of 16,000 dollars annually. It was founded by a donation of 140,000 dollars by a native merchant of the Jain sect—the sect which ap pear to approach nearer than any other to the Primi tive Hindooism with which Pythagoras became ac luainted at Babylon. Its doctrines strictly forbid the destruction of animal life in any case whatever. The management of this hospital is wholly in heathen 'lands, and heathen liberality furnishes all its resources. In it are gratuitously supported from 50 to 100 old horsey, which would otherwise be killed as past service ; about 175 cows and oxen ; 200 dogs for whose destruction the authorities of Bombay ofer a bounty twice a year ; and a ,large number of cats, monkeys, and other animals. Its charities are acces sible to living beings of every species except the human race. Men, women, and children, wounded, sick, and destitute, are allowed to die unaided within sight of its walls. Such is the character of the only hospital, so far as is known, that heathenism ever built." - THE LATE MARQUIS WELLESLEY. —KINGSTON HOUSE.-Mr. Alfred Montgomery received yesterday a communication from Mr. George Edward Anson, written by command of her Majesty and Prince Albert, requesting that gentleman to tender their Royal condolence to the Marchioness Wellesley on the late melancholy event. The Queen Dowager has written to the same effect. These august personages had previously made daily inquiries as to the state of the illustrious. Marquis. The salmon -fishing on the coast and rivers ter minated on Wednesday. after a more successful season than has, been experienced for rawly years. - Gi avolu Herald, t • ;fi • c-Ac V er 0 nrY, " bitiOn 4 4 } - , ivi • SUN OFFICE Three o Clock. _______•_—__ At a meeting of the Waltham Ao° l°l° A l Society, held on Monday, the new Cor n Bill tlo's new Tariff formed topics of observati on, and eie the President, the Duke of RUTLAND, an d t three hundred gentlemen mho : sat down to dinner, have all great interest ill these measures,tei the public may be desirous of knowing at c opinions.
