LEVANT MAIL. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 7.—Great changes having 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 Pacha, 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 nailied 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 the 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 Frenchme n, 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 basis of an arrangement between the belligerents, before any thing like a war can break out. Hostilities, it is pro liable, 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. Sarni 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 that 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. Ar.ExAspara, SEPT. 6.—The all-absorbing news of the day is the promotion of Mehemet Ali 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 t!:e arrival from Con stantinople is daily expected of Sarni 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 Smyrna. 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 ; Howls, 110 ; Kima, 110 ; lialab, 90 ; El Fayoum, 90; Bern soulff, 110. Frigates—Behera, 60 ; Damanhour, 58 ; Raschid, 58. Brigs—Washington, 16 ; Tempsa, 16 ; Semindegehat, 10; and a cutter tender. Whilst there remain in port laid up in ordinary, hardly likely to beagain made seaworthy, the following ships of the line :—Mehallel Kibir, 104 guns ; Alexandria, 90; Aboukir, 84 ; Cairo, 110; Acre, 110; besides :several frigates and corvettes gone as transports to the coast of Caramankv for bullocks, to supply the defici.ncy caused by the frightful mortality among the cattle, which still continues ; and it is to he hoped May not verily 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 lOs. 6d. per quarter; 5,000 ard. lentils, 28p and 12p duty, or about 103. 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 Hp duty, or lOs. 6d. per quarter; 5,000 ard. lentils, at 28p and 12p, or Ios. 6d.; 10,000 ard. wheat, put up at 45p, were withdiawn without a bid. The Nile has risers well. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, SEPT. 15.—DISTRIBUTION OF THE FLEET. —The Queen, 110, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir E. W. C. R.

The Vanguard, 80, Cambridge, 78, Ver non, 50, Inconstant, 36, and Vesuvius war-steamer, are on the coast of Syria. The Magicienne, 24, at 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 itance. On the 6 th the Danish frigate Thetis, raving on board his Serene Highness the Prince of Hesse Cassel, was towed out to sea by. the Medea, which vessel, on casting off, the crew mounting the 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. The Polyphemus arrived on the 9th from Patras and the l on i an I s l an d s , an d p ro ceeds on the 19 th to Gib raltar with the mails for England. The Savage re turned from her cruise in the channel of Malta on the .11t1r, h av i ng f allen in w i th no F renc h ships . of war. Oa . the sam e d ay ( one d ay before her time) the Orwntal came in from England and Gibraltar and the Prometheus having arrived with the London overland mail of the 6th on the 14th instant, the Oriental went on to Alexandria last n i g h t in company' with the lat ter, which touche s at S uda. We believe she will re lieve the Cyclops. The Scout arrived on the 12th from Corfu, and the Phcenix on the 13th from Alex andria. By the latter w e learn that M e h eme t Ali has been nominated by the Sultan Honorary Grand Vi zier of the whole Ottoman e mpirean c cl e Ms son - Ibra him. will, it is reported, be nominated Commander-in c dtief of the Ottoman forces on the frontiers '1 he Phoenix, Vesuvius, Thunderer. andwCilaolmbre'irsdgiaeci be relieved ale ordered to England. The former will immediately. .The Vesuvius will ee by the Devastation. The Prometheus left with the mails for Patras and the . lonian Islands this morn in. His Excellency Sir E. Owen, the c oniman _ der-in-Chief, has embarked, but we do not credit a rumour which prevailed that the fleet is going t o 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 ? elaborat e and lengthy defence from the prisoner, 1 1110 . was assisted by Mr. Advocate Griffiths and Mr. Solicitor Stevens, declared the charge not only not prop, d, but false, and w ith out t h e s li g ht es t founda tion,inad acquitted the pri soner accor di ng l y .

It has taken the election into its own hands. We do not accuse it of party motives, for Mr. Alder man HumpnEav belongs to the same party as Mr. Alderman WOOD. The former, indeed, seems to have no repugnance to oust his friend. A spirited man would have declined being the nominee .of the Court of Alderman iu opposition to the ivill.of the Livery. In the eloquent address of M. DE LAMARTINE, which appeared in our Paper of Wednesday, there is an observation which, though not new, deserves now to be impressed on the public for the sake of its consequence. After describing the " universal monarchy of intellect, commerce, industry, and thought," as " nigh and certain," he said " the world is changing, and becormes more and more industrial and democratic. The one must follow the other." According, there fore, to M. DE LAMARTINE—WIIO is nut by birth or opinion a democrat, but one of the aristocracy of France, professing ultra-Conservative opi nions—democracy is gaining ground in society, in consequence of the increase of industrial (by which we understand manufacturing) occupa tions, and bringing about, iri conjunction with commerce, a universal monarchy of intellect and thought. In substance M. DE LAMARTINE agrees with M. DE TOQUEVILLE, another of the French aris tocracy, who has been at some pains to demon strate the inevitable progress of the democracy, and to. influence statesmen rather to guide than resist it. Both speak in accordance with facts which had previously been in terpreted and explained in the same sense by many English writers, particularly SMITH, who dwelt on the influence of commerce to raise up a middle class, and make the aristocracy barter their power tbr the indulgences which commerce supplies. The raising up of a middle class is a step towards demoCracy, and the general fact which is thus established by the concurrence of these writers—that commerce and industry are, in their nature, hostile to aristocracy, and carry in their train the ascendancy of democracy and the monarchy, of intellect—teems at this time with much instruction. We have never argued the Corn-laws as a mere question of high and low prices, or. as a contest between agriculture and manufactures ; we have always treated it as a question of power between the Few and the Many. The Corn-law, like the new Poor-law, was avowedly passed to preserve ,in the hands of their then possessors the estates of the aristocracy. It was intended, as Lord GREY avowed, when he said, in reference to it, that he would " stand by his order," and, as Sir EDWARD KNATCLIBULL naively confessed, to secure the ascendancy of the landed gentry. Consistently with their avowals, we find their press continually overflowing - with diatribes against in dustrial or manufacturing occupations, denounc ing the use of machinery, anathematizing our town population, and consigning, in their thoughts and wishes, half the democracy and their business to annihilation. The Corn-law, therefore, had and .has a far more impor tant aim and scope than merely keeping up prices and rents; it is intended to keep down democracy, at whatever cost to the industry, the commerce, and the peace of mankind. When we see, as we elsewhere notice, signs of a some what better spirit growing u p amongst the lauded gentry, we almost regret to refer to such a topic; but the consequence made apparent by the writers we have referred to, that in endeavour ing to keep down the democracy the Legislature keeps down industrial occupations, and checks the ascendancy of intellect and thought, is by far too serious fur us to allow any considerations to guide our pen but those of truth and duty. It is such a novelty to find law-makers pro fessing themselves quite unable, like the Duke of RUTLAND, to " form any judgment of the effects of the laws" they nevertheless ordain, that we again refer to this expresssion of the Duke's; and, with a view to make such amiable modesty more general than at present amongst his claSs, we propose to point out some of the consequences of their legislative efforts to keep down the democracy. At present, both the agri cultural and manufacturing districts swarm with people earning from 7s. to 12s. a week, or in al ; most the lowest state of destitution. Whether they be influenced by d emagogues , or by th e factsoafreextremel y their tir condition, cr at the lame time that they peoeodr: they are extremely and they are nearly di scon t en ted. The most ultra kind of political democracy is their Chartists to a man. It is perfectly clear, there fore, that the aristocracy have completely tailed to put down, or keep in check, the democracy, though it is to be apprehended they have made it fierce, intractable, and dangerous. At the same time, the conduct of the aristocracy has given just occasion for such severe comments, that, in spite of old associations, and the posses sion of means to dazzle the lower classes, they are, we believe, no longer loved, and no longer feared. In fact, their privileges and power are endangered; while their wealth is lessened, from the necessity to maintain an ex pensive police, by the great number of poor and discontented there is in the land. But what would have been the moral conse quence of their having allowed industrial occu pations free scope? It is calculated that the mechanical power possessed byEngland is equal to perform the work of several hundred millions of human beings as they worked about a century ago. In other words, the productive power of the people. of England has increased, within a century, thirty-fold. Machinery has come more and more to the aid of man, and has worked fur him. An increasing proportion of the commu nity is in consequence enabled to live without any or without much personal and irksome toil. The more machinery supplies the place of manual labour, the greater will be the increase of the easy and opulent classes; and those who live without irksome toil will be comparatively numerous and powerful. So striking is this effect of machinery,:that weknow some persons who believe that it is calculated gradually to put an end to all mere labourers for wages, and convert all men into capitalists using, and living by the produce of, machinery.. At present the owners of :machinery or capitalists are amongst the most, influential supporters of the aristocracy; and the more the use of ma chinery is extended, the more numerous will be the upper . classes, and the more elevated the general level of society. . Now, in agriculture few Machines are em ployed ; the proportion of m anual labourers to the value produced is ihr greater in agricultural than lit manufacturing 'labour ; and, by trying to prevent the increase of manu factures, and to promote the increase of agri culture, the law has tended to increase the num ber of agricultural labourers, and to lessen the amount of machinery and the number.of machine owners. It has discouraged the growth of an opulent class, and has expressly encouraged the growth of destitute and ignorant men, who are now the most formidable opponents of the aris tocracy. To what extent m achinery would have come into use, both in agriculture and manu factures, had there been a perfectly free trade in food, it is impossible to say ; but we feel assured that it would have been much more in use than at present, and that, though it might not, and would not, have prevented the comparative de clension of the landowners, by raising up many have multiplied through to their level, it would out society the middle an d easy classes, lessened the Dumber of the destitute labourers, and re moved all fears of a violent change. The present fearful condition of the working classes of Eng land is the consequence of laws, of which, when t h e law-make rs, l ike the Duke they were passed, of RUTLAND, were who'ly unable to appreciate the effects, but which we now know have, con trary to the intention, weakene4aq endangered the power of the aristocracy, , 7„.r ..:.:: . • It is to be . apprehended that the aristocracy, in spite of this experience, will persist . in their endeavoursto check the progress ofindustry, in the vain hope of checking the progresSti4deniocracy. They will attempt, also, tOkeeptiitell(-ct in sub mission. They act in general from precedent, and all precedents must, from the progress of so ciety, be drawn from times less skilful and less enlightened than the present, The vast deve lopment of human power by means et chmery, to which we have ;.; of modern date; and hence it must happen, without any evil intention on the part of the Legislator, but merely from following precedents, that his laws will be hostile to the progress of manufacturing industry. This view leads to the conclusion that those persons who, like Sir R. PEEL, have risen from the bosom of commerce and then be come the partisans of aristocracy—the followers of precedents which were laid down, and of opinions which were formed before machinery came much into use—must, even unwillingly, and perhaps without knowledge, in supporting the aristocracy, act in hostility to the spe cies of industry which was the source of their own and their families' greatness. Commerce or manufactures and democracy going together, ac cording to M. DE LAMAIITINE, it is impossible to direct any blows at democracy, as Sir it. PEEL dues on behalf of the • aristocracy, without also aiming at commerce and manufactures. let Sir R. PEEL, inconsistently, still professes to ho nour manufactures. Ina- I At a meeting of the Waltham Agricultural Society, held on Monday, the new Corn Biil and new Tariff fbrmed topics of observation, and - as , the President, the Duke of RUTLAND, and the three hundred gentlemen who sat down to dinner, have all great interest in these measures, the public may be desirous of knowing their opinions. We have pleasure, therefore, in stat ing, that the meeting displayed none of those uproarious exiiiitions which have been imputed to the agriculturists in other districts, but cordi- ally assented . to the brief remarks of his Grace, when lie intimated that he felt no alarm on the subject, that the farmers must trust chiefly to Weir own exertions, and by improve meats in agriculture and the breed of cattle en deavour to aise the greatest quantity of con sumable food from the laud. " lie was unable,'' he said, " to form any judgment as to the pro bable efiects of the recent changes. The pro posers of the alterations were probably in the saint! predicament; those who raised the cry of alarm, he was sure, were equally incompetent; and he therelime advised all to join with him in sus pending their judgment till the new plan had a fair and complete trial." These sensible and con ciliatory remarks were received with loud cheers. The slim* spirit pervaded his allusion to the admission of foreign cattle, and the meet ing seemed to agree with him in the opinion that, as far as he could discover, there had not been any material reduction in prices. We rejoice to see feelings like these prevail among landlords and farmers, and trust they will in time change their opinions still further, and admit the justice, the necessity, and also the policy of making even greater reductions. The American Minister, Mr. EVERETT, was present at the dinner, and on his health being proposed received a cor dial welcome. He concurred with his Grace in doing honour to the negotiators who had con chided the treaty between England and his na tive country, and expressed his confident hope that the candid and friendly manner in which the proceedings had been carried on, and the settlement of a long-disputed and troublesome question, would have the effect of uniting the two nations in the bonds of friendship, and promoting the prosperity and happiness of both. These semi ( titnentS were responded towith cordial approbation In the course of his speech Mr. EVERETT alluded to the new Corn Bill, and stated what has been frequently adverted to in this Journal, that, owing to the great distance, and the uncertainty caused by the sliding-scale, Annarica would reap but little benefitfrom the modifications. Time meeting altogether was of a satisfactory descrip tion, and highly creditable to the members of this Society. The Special Commission appointed for the trial of the Chartists and Operatives engaged in the late riots in the northern districts, wilt be opened on Saturday, at Stafford. There are many prisoners to be tried, and a Morning Con temporary says of them, that " they are all de cent, industrious-looking men, and most of them with large families;' adding, that " Mr. THOMAS BRUTTON, the Governor of the gaol, speaks highly of their demeanour,while under his care." We trust that the Judges appointed to try these misguided men will evince the same humane and considerate disposition that was evinced by Lord DENMAN at York, and bear in mind that there are occasions when mercy is the best policy. We are not such puling sentimentalists es to require that the laws of the land should be evaded, in order that those who have set them at nought should wholly escape retribution; we simply ask that justice should be administered in a spirit of becoming leniency—that is to say, with a careful and earnest regard to all the mi tigating circumstances of the case. There needs no exhibition of judicial severity to act as a warning. The most efficient warning will be that which is given by a timely and prudential display of humanity, so far as is consistent with a due vindication of the law. There are many arguments which may be urged in favour of mitigating the punishment of the northern rioters—nun y reasons alleged why justice should relax the frown on her awful brow 3. They were starving, and they refrained from the bloody excesses which hunger and desperation are so apt to prompt. They imagined themselves aggrieved, and they for bore to indulge—to the extent that might have been anticipated—in " the wild justice of revenge." Lastly, they had for some days the entire north in their power; city —town—village—the palace of the peer, and the factory of the capitalist, lay alike at their mercy; yet there was no whole sale plunder—no incendiarism—none of that fierce, vindictive spirit which used to distinguish an English mob in the much lauded-days of GEORGE THE THIRD ! These are striking facts, which should not be forgotten when the prisoners co:lte to be arraigned at the bar of justice. The accounts from Turkey give more faVour. able symptoms of the state of that distracted country, but we fear they evince only a remis sion of the fever. The disease appears to be in curable. There is no statesman of sufficient ta lent or authority to control the intrigues of the Court, or keep in obedience the Governors of the distant provinces; and, least of all. to carry into effect the commercial and political reforms which are necessary for - the existence of the empire. Indeed, old MEHEMET ALT may be said to be the only real bulwark of the tottering fabric. Friendly interviews are constantly tak ing place between him and Turkish Envoys from Constantinople ; he shows every disposition to efface from the memory of the SUL TAN the dismay caused by the Syrian expedition, professes the utmost loyalty and at tachment to the SULTAN, and is busily engaged in manning and exercising his fleet, with a view, as some state, of placing it at the service of his Imperial master. Sudden changes like these, how ever, are suspicious, and no doubt excite the vigi lance and anxiety of the different representatives froin Foreign Powers at the Ottoman Court ; for, notwithstanding all appearances, the SULTAN HIUSt :.rust ultimately to them tbr protection. They have certainly no easy task, and will have no little difficulty in balancing different interests, so as to prevent this worn-out and disjointed empire front becoming a prey to its powerful and ambi tions neighbours. By the arrival of the Levant Mail, we have news front Persia, Syria, Egypt, Turkey, and Malta. From Constantinople the accounts are to the 7th inclusive, conveying the intelligence that since the disinis-z:al of the Grand Vizier, IzzET, a great number of changes had taken place in the provinces, as well as at Constan tinople. By an Imperial firman of the 4th, the late Grand Vizier was appointed Governor of Adrianople and of the provinces of Tchirmen, in the place of SAID PACHA ; the latter was .transferred to the Government of Angora; ESSAD PACHA, former Muschir of Aleppo, was invested with that, of the provinces of Saida, Tripoli, and Syria; IsgAIL PACHAi ex-Mus cl►ir of A.2lgora, was named Governor of the pru- Iliaibekir and t of . rial mines; VEDJIIII P.u. - ;ilA, CY, ~,. Diarbekir, was appointed Governor of. the pro vinces of Oria uud Aleppo, and IzzET General of Division at Saida, wao promoted to the Government of Jerusalem. The: ex- rail Vizier being the only one of those \hICL iOaui'it'B pre6eut a. Goastantinople, repaired oa the aaLAAe day to the Porte, and there received the iavesti, tore of the new dignity conferred upon him by the, SULTAN.

L.Nolisiderution of the fientinients of obedience and devo'tethicss to the iu►perial Throne with which tUe Governor of Egypt .vas animated, and of his long and niithful services." Ti►e imperial rescript, together with a decoration, similar to that worn by the Grand 'Vizier, as delivered,in the presence of the SULTAN, to SAMI PACHA, WhO was to sail in a few days fur Alexandria. • The private letters from Beyrout are dated the 4th inst. On the 20th Ult., MAILUMED PACHA, 011 hearing that some misunderstanding had occurred between sonie of the Christian chiefs in kesrouau, had taken possession - of Gilazir, under pretence of restoring order; so that the Turks may now be considered musters of the three most important points in the Mountains. The French squadron, under Admiral LA SUSSE, left that harbour on the 3d inst. for Smyrna, and the British ships Vanguard and Cambridge were to have sailed for Alexandria on the 4th. The best understandiog had sub sisted between the commanders of the two squadrons during their stay at Beyrout. The .Jlktipe chiefs were still prisonert:, but treated with the greatest kindness by the PAcHA and Beys. The building of the Protestant Church at Jerusalem was going on slowly; Bishop .I.ILEX ANDER V. as not yet entirely recover from his recent illness. The accounts from Malta of the 15th inst. an nounce the arrival there on the 13th from lieyrout of Lord CASTLEREAGII and suite in the Pinenix steamer. Lieutenant PLACE, of the Queen, had lately been tried by court-martial and honourably ac quitted. The squadron was expected to go to sea in a few days. _ _ _ The intelligence from Alexandria is of the 6th inst. The crews of the different vessels compos ing the Egyptian fleet having been paid one year's arrears on the 28th ult,, three ships of the line were towed out by the steamer Nile, and on the 2d inst. six more, with three frigates, two brigs, and four corvettes followed. The fleet was cruising in sight, 'communicating with the land by means of two steamers. Ou the 9th, immediately after the. departure of his daughters for Cairo, MEHEMET ALI intended to repair on board the Admiral's ship, and to remain at sea during five or six days. The PACHA had been suffering during some days from want of sleep. and expected to derive some benefit from the freshness of the sea air. IBRAHIM PACHA was shortly expected in Alex andria. SAID EFFENDI, the Turkish Envoy sent at the time from Constantinople to regulate the accounts of the administration of Syria, was still at Alexandria. The PACHA treated him with great attention, and often took him out in his carriage. According to letters from Cairo of the 4th inst. mortality among the cattle in the chiftliks of the PACHA had been of late very considerable. No less than 13,000 oxen had died there, and 2,700 on the lads of IBRAmiu PACHA. Not a single beast bad sure ved on those of SAMI PACHA. It was accordingly feared that the ehiltiiks could not be cultivated this year. The Nile had at that date reached the height of 22 cubits. The French papers received, with the ex ception of the Journal des Debats, are chiefly occupied with domestic subjects. ' That journal contains a long article on the late change or Ministry at Constantinople and the present state of the Christian populatum throughout the Otto -111:111 empire, and contends, that from France aloiie they can expect sympathy and protection, From the Turkish Government, the writer adds, they can expect Hone, for it is the victiut of an incurable disorder, and no skill can ward* off the derail blow. The Constitutionnel contains a long statement of the revenues and expenses of the French Post-office, and proposes that the whole system should be reviewed and a reasonable L bateineil . made on the postage of letters. The nplilet of General BUGEAUD still affords topics for discussion. The Commerce infers, from the singular statements it contains, that there is a a division hi the Cabinet, and that, unless some new accidents occur, the present Ministry will not meet another session of the Chambers. They had on the 25th sustained two defeats in the electoral colleges—M. DE SALVANDY and M. DUPONT DE L'EURE, the Ministerial candidates having being rejected by the colleges of Nog-eat de Rotron and Bernarg and Brienne. The Armoricain of Brest of the 24th inst. an nounces that the Prince de Joinville and the Duke D'Aumale were expected on the 10th of October at Brest, where they would embark in the Belle Poule frigate for Lisbon. There they are to be joined by the Ville de Marseille line-of-battle ship, on board which M. de Lansdorf is to take his passage for the Brazils. The Duke D'Aumale would part from his brother at Lisbon, and sail in a steamer for Algeria, and the Belle Poule and the Ville de Marseille would continue their vo = yage to Rio Janeiro. According to La France, the 1 rench Government contemplated re calling M. de Varennes, the French Minister at Lisbon, in consequence of the apathy he was accused of having shown during the negotiation of the treaty lately concluded between Great Britain and Portugal. The Moniteur of the 27th has no otiScial part. The Indicateur, of Bordeaux, of the 25th says : "We are informed that the misfortune which we announced respecting a barque containing sixty vil lagers going to Listrac is not so fatal as -we believed; it-seems that there were only twenty-two persons on board, and that several of them were saved.' A letter from Oran of the 10th of September, which has only reached us to-day, confirms that the `new hostile measures of Abd-el-Kader are - of more importance than the last report of General Bugeaud would allow. The actions in which General d'Ar bouville was engaged near Tekedempt were very serious ; several battalions of regulars were observed among the Arabs. Accordingly the Governor- General, after receiving these reports at Mostaganem, hastened to send the Phare to Algiers to countermand the movement of troops prepared for a continuation of operations which these events had interrupted. The Pbare met the Euphrate and the Vaulour steamers, which were coming to take on board the Ist Regiment of the line in the province of Oran, and transmitted to them orders to return to Algiers. Our letter from Oran says in conclusion It is announced that a pretty considerable number of tribes have again taken part with Abd-el-Kader. Tracts which were lately covered with tents belonging to tribes allied to us are now desertqd. The several actions which have taken place show that Abd-el- Kader has succeeded in collecting a force which it is absolutely necessary to repulse to a distance."—Le Commerce, Sept. 27.

Mme, 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 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 in the following terms :—" Every a correspondent, 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 the 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, 264 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 Pacha, 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 rwgenera 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 Pacha was. In Russia the notion of a princi pality enjoying independence without protection was also 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, anti 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. ALNWICIC, 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 passing over 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, two Lothian farmers having occasion to attend the Falkirk Tryst, started from the neighbourhood of Musselburgh in a gig, drawn by an old Irish pony little more than fourteen hands high. After trans acting 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 kirk, on their way home, they found that the Queen had passed some time before, and was sup posed to be about f our m il es ahead. One of them,never having seen h er M a j esty, was greatly disap- pointed, and after an instant's consideration, left th e g*g ' threw the end of the halter over t h e 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 galloped on, and having overtaken them in the neigh bourhood of Linlithgow, rode with the royal cortege into Edinburgh—the whole journey from Falkirk being 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 quainted at Babylon. Its doctrines strictly forbid the destruction of animal life in any case whatever. The management of this hogoital is wholly ih heathen hands, and heathen liberAity furnishes all its resources. In it are gratuitously supported from 50 to 100 old horseT, which would otherwise be killed as past service ; about 175 cows and oxen ; 200 dog s for whose d es t ruc ti on t h e au th or iti es o f Bombay ofer a 1 bounty 'll twice a year ; and a large number of cats, , monkeys, and other a n i als Its charities are acces• .

SEPTEMBER 30, 1842. The election of Lord Mayor took place yes terday. Mr. T. WOOD was excluded, and Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY is Lord Mayor. Last year there was a fierce contest for the Mayoralty, and Mr. HARMER was rejected. In bis case a poll was demanded, and the Livery returned his opponent. This year there has been no contest for the Mayoralty, but Mr. Alderman T. Woon, after being elected in Common Hall, has been set aside by the Aldermen. In both cases the Alderman in rotation is set aside—in the one it is the act of the Livery, in the other that of the Aldermen. If the Livery should be displeased that their present decision is not con firmed, they must remember that, last year, they violated the principle of rotation, and slighted a gentleman by withholding an honour that was fairly his due. Although it was supposed that the Court of Aldermen was not favourable to Mr. HARMER, it did not openly interfere in the election. The Church party opposed him, a part of the Press assailed him, and the Livery were induced to reject him. This year the Court of Aldermen seems to have decided the whole matter. There the charge was made against Mr. Alderman T. WooD, there a full investigation was declined, and by that Court. after the Livery had elected him, was he rejected. The cases, then, are essen tially different, but betwixt them there is oue similarity. Both individuals were rejected in consequence of whisperings against their characters. Mr. HARMER was rejected on account of the religious opinions of his paper : Mr. Alderman T. WOOD is cast out on account of imputations on his moral character; at least we know no other reason, for his alleged want of wealth is an idle pretext. Both 'were below the standard of City purity, and not thought worthy to fill the civic chair. Oa that ground these two gentlemen were kept out. of the Mayoralty, and we may expect every succeeding year a more rigorous scrutiny into the life and conduct of every candidate for the Mayoralty. A kind of inquisition was brought to bear against Mr. HARMER; it is now brought to bear on Mr. Alderman T. WOOD, and will be brought to bear on any other candidate for the Mayoralty. A new criterion of civic worth is set u p, That a man has served his fellow -citizens as Sheriff ar►d Magistrate will avail him nothing, unless his private conduct be agreeable to the Purists. The election to the civic chair, to the great delight, we presume, of all young Alder men, will henceforth be determined by an inqui sition into private character. How the Livery may like the conduct of the Aldermen we pretend not to say. The Court has, however, to some extent, usurped the func tions of the Livery. It decided, before the elec tion, against Mr. Alderman T. WooD, and re- s u rei pi A 4. 2 -0 E AND "Pti Optuton. v' .: L' 7.7:31tZ ' _ • t The accounts-brought-from the_East -by th e Le rte l tin Mail, are, on the -whole, favourable.
