cliE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY t:giructsfrom the Morning Papers, Aug. 18, 188.5. • ITHE PUBLIC LEDGER.] A chaoge,. of which it would be rash at pre sent to calculate all the favourable consequences, has occurred in the prospects of the Greeks, in c.onsequenrce of the determination of Lord Coch rane-to place himself at the head of a naval arma ment, which is to begot ready immediately in this'country-, in aid - orthe Greek cause. This phut, which had been for a considerable time in agitation, was- finally -arranged on Tuesday evan iag, at a meeting held for the purpose at Sir F. fiurdett'.. The exact amount of the force which is to be confided to his Lordship, has not trans pired ; and all that we have been able to learn is, that two steam-vessels are to form part of the in tended expedition. The advantages to be derived from this species of vessel in naval warfare are obviods, though little tried, as it presents very little bulk,and no rigging to be shot at ; and with a little care, the apparatus for impelling the vessel might be protected by a screen, that would be ball-proof. In calms, so usual in the Mediterranean, it could move about in every direction, whilst a sailing vessel would be rivetted, as it were, to the spot. It is also confidently reported, though we will not pledge ourselves for the truth of this rumour, that Sir Robert Wilson is to proceed, about the same time, or as soon afterwards as possible, at the head of a land force, composed of adven turers of all countries, and which, it is proposed, shall consist of 4,000 men. The report, how ever, that this gallant Officer is about to he re stored to his former military rank in the British service, is inconsistent with the other ; but the latter is so freely and generally circulated, that we have thought it proper to notice it. In the mean time, we would advise the projectors of this plan to lose no time, as, whilst they are deliberating, the fate of Continental Greece may be decided. There are serious objections, however, to the plan, and one in particular, which we now mention. The Turks are already highly exasperated against this country on account of the aid which has been furnished by it to the Greeks, and it is impossible to make them understand the distinc tion between a private and public act—be tween a proceeding originating as in this case with a number of individuals, and one sanction ed by Government. In consequence of this ex asperation, persons trading with Turkey, have deemed it prudent to contract their dealings very considerably ; and there is a prospect of the whole trade being broken up, should the Porte, from any measure that might take place in this country, receive additional cause of exaspera tion. The property, and even lives of our coun trymen, in the territories of the Sultan, would be placed in imminent jeopardy from the blind fury of the Turkish rabble, in the event of the Turkish fleet sustaining any injury from an arma ment fitted out in this country, and commanded and chiefly manned by British subjects. This is one strong objection to the projected plan, and it would be easy for us to point out others almost fully as cogent, if we were not unwilling to throw cold water upon a plan which agrees - with the best sympathies of mankind. [NEW TIMES.] The sudden rise of the Greek Scrip gives great probability to the report of an expedition which is to be undertaken under the command of Lord Cochrane and Sir R. Wilson,for the assistance of that people. It is stated that the plan was finally agreed upon at a dinner at Sir F. Burdett's ; that a sum of 300,0001. is to be put at the entire disposal of his Lordship; and a corps of 3,500 men to- be armed, accoutred, and placed • under the direction of Sir Robert. Some versions of the report go so far as to assert that two cut-down seventy-four gun ships have been purchased of a Northern Power for this expedition ; and that, in conjunction with them, two steam vessels are to be employed. There are sante political objections against the employ ment of so considerable a force in a contest in which his Majesty's Government declares its re solution to maintain a strict neutrality : but, set ting these aside, the general wishes of the coun try would undoubtedly go along with the gallant adventurers. Of their success against the • Turks, in any contest with them, there can be little doubt; but the main question is, whe ther the Greeks are a people capable of taking full advantage of such aid. - Are their armies any thing better than armed mobs ; and will it •be. in the power of Sir R. Wilson, or any other Gornmand.er, , to reduce them to regular military discipline ? The time for the undertaking is propitious. Ibrahim Pacha, if not captured, has certainly been in- great danger of being so, and the Greeks are beginning to recover from the alarm which. they endured from Ibrahim's first • Success. [MORNING POST.] We received last night French Papers to the IGth instant. They contain aome further and mote detailed confirmation's of the triumphs of the Greeiis in the Morea than had yet reached us. The Captain. of a vessel under' •the lonian flag arrived at Leghorn on the 3d inst. and stated that before quitting the harbour of Marathonisi on the 15th of July, be had himself read a letter addressed to the Eparch of that town by Colo cotroni, who described in it the events which had taken place after the defeat of the Egyp tians at the Mills near Napoli and their re treat to Tripoliita. From that place Ibrahim iec P. ha took the road 'to Patras Waking that it I .td been evatuated by the Greeks ; but he was pulsed with great loss by Londos and Zairis, and forced to return to Tripolizza. He then at tempted to retire towards Navarino, but was also,driven back with very considerable loss by Colocotmoni and Petirnezzo, who occupied all the passes. lie then asked to capitulate, and pro mised that' neither lid nor his army should serve against Greece for ten years if he were allowed a free passage out of the Morea ; but Colocotroni refused' to grant any terms and insisted on his surrendering at discretion. The troops by whom Ibrahim was surrounded and besieged, are said to amount to forty thousand men, and Petro Mavromichalis was approaching with a powerful reinforcement. The whole Peloponesus was in arms, and nothing was wanting but a Chief in whom all parties could place equal con fidence. In the various actions which he had sustained, Ibrahim Pacha was computed to have lost 3,000 men. Ile had also been wounded in the right hand. Three hundred mules laden with provisions, and dispatched from Navarino for his service, had fallen into the hands of Colocotroni. All the communications of the Egyptians were in tercepted, and their immediate submission was confidently expected. The Isthmus of Corinth was strongly fortified, and great numbers of Greek troops were collected at that place, and were preparing to march to reinforce Gourras, whose army was acting against the Turks in the direction of Salona. It was known at Maratho nisi that the Captain Pacha had landed 3000 A►l banians at Navarino, but no alarm was felt, as it was thought impossible that so small a force should venture into the heart of the Morea, or should ever reach Ibrahim if it made the attempt. Indeed, a letter from Trieste says, that the Garrison of Navarino having learn ed the embarrassed situation of the Egyp tian Commander and taken flight and sailed to seek refuge at Patras.—The Journal des De bats, after giving these accounts, adds, " we blush to read in this letter that two vessels be ' longing to the Royal Navy of France L'ilma aranthe and Le Courier, acted as intermedia ries between Ibraham and Mehemet Ali. Can it be possible that the French Ministry should ' suffer the White Flag to be degraded to such a point ;" [BRITISH PRESS.] The French Papers which arrived last night bring no fresh political intelligence. They are almost entirely filled with dissertations concern ing the admission of Hayti to the rank of an In dependent State. We are glad to read in the illoniteur an express contradiction, given from au thority, to the mischievous construction put upon the King's Ordinance by the Drapcau . Blanc and other Royalist Papers, supposed to speak the sentiments of the Ministry. The Moniteur, in emphatic terms, asserts " the sincerity and the plentitude of the concession made by the ordinance of the 17th of April." We regret that the form of the ordinance should have been so equivocal as have rendered this declaration necessary. 1t is remarkable, that the French Government has not thought proper to publish any details of the reception of the ordinance by the Haytian au thorities. The dispatches of M. de Mackau, the envoy, have been received, and yet, no particulars are made • known. Respecting an event of so much importance to the commer cial world, nothing is officially stated beyond the result communicated by the telegraph. Mon (lay being the day of the assumption of the Virgin, was a close holiday on the Exchange. We have consequently no quotations of the Rentes.—By the correspondence from Madrid, we learn that the Government of King Ferdinand has lately , given orders to the Prelates of Spain to issue pas toral letters to the clergy of their respective dioceses, urging them to use their influence to promote peace, oblivion, and concord. Among the number of those who have obeyed the Royal order is the Grand Prior of the military order of Alcantara, a Prelate of distinguished rank in the church. His pastoral letter is of a peculiar and important character. He tells the clergy roundly that they are themselves the cause of all the disorders that afflict the country. His words are these :—" It is indeed most extraordinary that the ministers of the Most High, who in Spain are the only guides of a simple and unenlighten ed people, should, instead of leading them by the lights of the Gospel, resplendant with charity, hold out to them the torch of discord." The Ultras, however, persist in their endeavours to carry their projects into execution. They have so earnestly pre- ed upon the King, by means of M. Calomarde, their organ in the Cabinet, the propriety and necessity of re-establishing the 16- quisition, that the subject has been formally re ferred to one of the departments of the Council of Castile. This reference is considered by the Apostolic party as the certait prelude of success. [MORNING CHRONICLEd We can state on the most unquestioned autho. rity, that an arrangement has been concluded with Lord Cochrane, by which a large sum of money is to be immediately placed at the dis posal of his Lordship, to be expended by him in whatever way he thinks most advisable for the successful prosecution of operations against the Turks. • His Lordship leaves town to-day for Scotland, whence he will return immediately to proceed forthwith for Greece. He will take with him steam-vessels and all sorts of materiel necessary for the particular sort of warfare he contemplates carrying on. Every one knows, that in mechanical contrivances of all sorts, his Lordship' is as eminent, as he•is in the profession of which he is so distin guished an ornament. The very name of Coch rane is alone a tower of strength to the cause. He will soon be surrounded by all that is gallant and adventurous in every arm of service of which he means to avail himself. He has the bead to plan, the nerve that is never shaken, the eye to seize the occasion, and the hand to strike. Confidence in a leader, the belief in his invincibility, often makes him invincible—and hence the objection to a Ge neral that he had been unfortunate, was not so devoid of reason as it may, at first sight, seem. The hope also of something besides n:1-!re renown to be gained under a leader, to whom no part of Turkey will be inaccessible, and against whom no Turkish town will be a place of security, will enter for something into the consideration of adventurers. We look upon the crisis of Turkey as now at hand. That that stupid and besotted people, on whom all experience is thrown away, will he able to make any effectual apposition to his Lordship, we cannot for a moment con ceive. Their capital is at his mercy, and if the rich despots of Asia Minor escape; they will owe their safety to their gold. The Turks have left themselves no means of carrying on war ; they have made deserts of the country they wished to recover ; and hence their own armies have uniformly fallen victims to famine rather than the sword, while the Greeks have betaken themselves with all their portable stores to their hill fastnesses. The excitement which the first rumour of this intelligence gave yesterday on the Stock Exchange is indescribable. We can state it as certain, that one eminent Banking-house in the Strand, yesterday purchased through their Broker, 59,0001. of Greek Scrip. Such is now the promising aspect of Greek affairs. [THE TIMES.] A Meeting has been advertised for Friday next, of the shopmen and others employed by a certain class of shopkeepers in the metropolis, the object of which is to concert measures for obtaining some moderate abridgment of the hours of business exacted from them. From seven in the morning until eleven at night, our correspondents inform us that many of those individuals in the trade of linen•drapers are kept are work, without a longer interval than of one hour, all meals included, thoughout the day. This seems undoubtedly a hardship. We are surprised that young men can be foun.l who will submit to such severe confinement. We are more surprised that the sedentary, or rather sta tionary business of shops, is not very generally intrusted to women. Why should men intrude at all into modes of industry which those of the other sex are equally capable of exercising? It is a sort of robbery of destitute females. A report has obtained some credit in the city, that Lord Cochrane has made an arrangmeut with the Greek Committee, by which he is to attach himself to the Greek cause ; also that his Lordship has planned an expedition, the charges of which the ,Committee have undertaken to defray, and which is to be carried into effect immediately. That • part of the report which makes the Greek Committee act as a body for this purpose, and propose an advance of money, we conceive to be erroneous, but incline to lend more belief to another statement—that some mem bers of the Committee, retaining their zeal for the cause, have expressed as individuals a wish that Lord Cochrane should give his assistance to the Greeks, and that his Lordship has expess ed his willingness to accede to their wish, if a mode could be pointed out for rendering his ser vices effectual. Some difficulties appear to have been thrown in the way of the negociation by persons whose functions should have led them most zealously to promote its success ; but it is understood that they have been removed. Whe ther such an explanation on the subject of Greek affairs can he adduced to Lord Cochrane as will determine the propriety of his proceeding thither at once, still remains, we believe, to be ascer tained.—(/bid.) LMORNING HERALD.] We are much pleased, and we dare to say that the public will be so too, that Wheeler, Mr. Mar tin of Galway's Secretary, has laid some infor mations against those pests the brutes who drive the Paddington stages in the furious manner-they . do up the New Road. Unfortunately for the public a Mr. Burgess, a solicitor, came forward, and, lawyer like, found out some hole in the Act for these drivers to creep through. The Magistrate, it would appear, gave it as his opinion that the information was informal — but he recommended Wheeler to get another in formation prepared, which Wheeler, upon the appearance of Mr. Martin, said he would do ; and thus the matter rests. These brutes will be brought up again before the Magistrate, and we hope the latter will have as little mercy on them as it would appear they had upon their horses' " backs. It will give us much pleasure to hear that they have been 'sentenced to the tread-mill for three months. These audacious creatures sadly want to' be brought to their senses, and both the Honourable Member for Galway, as well as his secretary, deserve the thanks of all who are fated to get into the Paddington stages, as well as of those who have occasion to travel along that line of road. We hope'Mr. Martin will follow these fellows up with his usual perseverance and From our Mansion Ilou;e report, it appears that some of the better part of human nature have been applying to the Lord Mayor respecting the cruelty of some part and parcel of our agricultural interests, in suffering cattle and sheep in Smith field to go from Saturday to Monday without water. We should like to hear of some of the Chairmen of the Agricultural Dinners going from Saturday to Monday without any thing to quench their thirst, and then they might perhaps think of these same cattle, which they yearly send to Smithfield to be slaughtered, and of the suffering they must endure from thirst, after being driven • from morning till night by an iron-hearted drover. It would be a good thing if that abominable nui sance, Smithfield. Market, were put an end to al together, and Oat butchers were obliged to go out of town to:purchase their cattle.—(tbid.) LAND WATER-SPOUT.—(LYNN , AUG. 114 —Yesterday we witnessed a phenomenon, which, though frequent at sea, is rather unusual on shore ; what is termed a water-spout was seen a few miles to the westward of Lynn, first appearing at about a quarter past one o'clock, it seemed to be excited over Marsh land; and it exhibited the appearance of a mass of light clouds in the midst of a very dark one, in the form of an inverted cone4ising from the earth, on which its apex rested, to the ele vation' 'of about 48 degrees ; the edges of the cone assumed a very dark hue, and were clearly defined. We have not as yet heard whether any damage has been sustained from it. It gra dually blended with the clouds in about a quarter of an hour, by which time they were immediately over Lynn, and poured down torrents of rain in so violent a manner, as to choke the drains and inundate several of Coe streets. FATAL ACCIDENT. -Last night an Inquest was held at the Middlesex Hospital, on the body of Elizabeth Capps. The deceased had cohabited with a person nald Capps, at the corner of the Coal-yard, Drury-lane, for many years. They were persons of veryiow condition, and. demo ralizing habits. When she was in liquor, Capps used to occa sionally chastise her, and 011 s uch occasions the neighbourhood was thrown into a state of alarm by her screams. On Thurs day last, when in liquor, she put her head out of her chamber window to reach some flower-pots, and she fell headlong into the street. Her skull was cut open in the fall, and she expired on Sunday last. A report became prevalent in the neighbour hood that Capps threw her out of the window, and an inquiry took place before the Coroner, to investigate the truth of such rumour. It was proved to be totally void of foun dation, and the Jury returned a verdict of." Accidentally killed by falling out of a window." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Mawsroat-Housr, Aua. 17.—A great number of the ene mies of cruelty to animals have written to the LORD MAzoit, complaining of the condition to which the cattle are said to be reduced in Smithfield Market for many hours in the day, in consequence of the want of water and other refreshment. His Lordship, in order to remedy the evil, if it existed, sent to seve ral of the most respectable butchers and salesmen to ascertain the facts, and whether any regulation might be effective in case the evil existed. It had been represented by letter to his Lordship, that poor beasts had been seen in great agony in the market, in consequence of the excessive thirst and fatigue which they were compelled to endure, in the extreme heat of the wea ther particularly ; and his Lordship's correspondents suggested the erection of troughs of water in different parts of the market for the benefit of the cattle brought in for sale. This they thought the more necessary, as upwards of 3,000 were tied up from a very early hour in the morning until the sales, which were in many instances delayed, were made. This day the butchers and salesmen waited upon his Lord ship, who, after mentioning to them the cause of complaint, asked whether it would not be practicable to have a sort of con duit for the supply of the animals brought to market. They re plied that any regulation of this kind could never be accomplish ed. Themarket was already so excessively crowded, that any plan which would diminish its size would be completely an impedi ment to business, which was even now greatly obstructed. They had heard it said that the meat must suffer a considerable deterio ration in consequence of the want of water experienced by the cattle during the market-day. This they unanimously declared they had never found to be the case, even during the present hot weather. The cattle were generally well fed on the night before they were taken to market, and they were also well treated as soon as they were taken to the slaughter-house. It was in fact imprudent, in a politic sense, to treat then: with harshness, as it was well known that the meat was not bettered by exhausting the animal. The decision come to, therefore, amongst the i,inithfield dealers was, that his Lordship's propo sition was impracticable, and that even if it were practicable, there would be no utility in adopting it. Bow-STREET.—Yesterday morning, among a number of persons charged from the different watch-houses, was'a young man, fashionably attired, who stood upon the charge-book of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, thus Frederick Gamble, charged by Taylor, a watchman, with being disorderly in King-street, at two o'clock in the morning." When the case was called on, Taylor, the watchman, stated, that about two o'clock in the morning he saw the defendant talking to some women of the town, in King-street, and he desired them all to " move on." The women immediately walked away, but the defendant refused to stir. The witness told him he must go ; but still lie persisted in his right to stop there as long as he pleased, and dared witness to molest him. —He said " that he had but a short time before caused a watchman to be suspended from his office for insolence to him, and if witness interfered with him he would have him broke in the morning." The witness upon this took him to the watch house, and then the constable of the night offered to permit him to go about his business if he would depart quietly, but he re fused to go at all, and insisted on being locked up.. The constable of the night corroborated the latter part of the watchman's statement, and said that he was quite unwil ling to detain the defendant, but he would be kept ; and wit ness was obliged to lock him up at his own particular desire.— He insisted on being locked up in order that he might have an opportunity of laying a regular complaint before the Magis trate against the watchman in the morning, and of trying the question whether he was liable to be taken into custody for refusing to obey the command of a watchman to "move on." Sir R. BIRNIE asked the defendant what answer he had to make the charge? The defendant stated that he was standing quietly talking in the street, when he was ordered by the watchman in an autho ritative tone to " move on." He refused to obey this peremp tory mandate, as he thought he had a right to do, and he con ceived that the watchman had no authority whatever to take him into custody under such circumstances. Sir R. BIRNIE.—But I tell you, Sir, that he had authority to do so, and that he acted perfectly right, and has done his duty very properly. Pray what right had you to question the authority or point out the duty of the watchman ? Are you an inspector of the watch ? Defendant.—No, I am not an inspector of the watch. Sir R. BIRNIE.—Pray what are you ? Defendant.—What am .1 ? Sir 11. BIRNIE.—Yes ; I ask you who and what you are ? Defendant.—What can that have to do with the case? Sir R. BIIIN lE.—lt has much to do with it. What are you, 1 ask you once more ? Defendant.—What . do you think I am ? Sir R. BIRNIE.—What do I - think you are? You may be a thief for any thing I know. How can 1 guess at what you are ? Are you a thief or an honest man ? Defendant.—l am not a thief. Sir R. BIRNIE.—Then, once again, what are you? Are you of any profession or trade ? Defendant.—l live with my father. Sir R. BIRNIE.—What is your father, and where does lie live ? • Defendant. —What has that to do with the matter in question, I should like to know ? Mr. MiwstruLL.—What harm can arise from your answer ing the question which Sir Richard puts to you ? It can do no injury to any one to-explain who and what you are. You are not conducting yourself at all properly. Defendant.—l live at No. 7, Birchin-lane, with my father, and I am a stock-broker. Sir R. Binarif:.—A stock-broker! I believe you are no more a stock-broker than I am, nor so much. Defendant (with much warmth, and striking his hand on the table)—Sir, I say I am a stock-broker, and here is my card, (throwing one on the desk.) Mr. M isrsti u t.—You are really behaving very indeco rously, young man, in replying thus intemperately to the bench. Defendant (passionately) —Indecorously ! What right has he to insult me, first, by an insinuation that I might be a thief, and now almost giving me the lie by saying he does not believe I am a stock-broker ? I say that lam a stock-broker, and a respectable man. Sir R. BIRNIE said it was not much to the credit of a re spectable man to be found in the streets at two in the morning, talking to loose women. The defendant said they were not loose women that he was talking to. He was speaking to a French lady. Taylor ' the watchman, said it was one of t he French ladies who lived in Buckingham-street. Sir R. BIRNIE—Oh, it was one of the Buckingham-street strumpets, was it ? The defendant was then informed by Mr. MisrmitiLL tha, he was wrong in his estimate of the extent of power possessed by watchmen, and as he seemed still inclined to doubt upon the subject, it was the duty of the Magistrates to convince him by making him give bail to keep the peace. The defendant was then held to bail " to keep the peace to wards all his Majesty's subjects." MARYLEBONE.—Yesterday, Charles Wheeler, Mr. Mar tin's secretary, attended to give evidence against John Cox, driver of a Paddington stage, who appeared on an informa tion charging him with wantonly and furiously galloping his horses. Wheeler stated that on Monday the Bth of August, as he was passing near St. Pancras Church, he heard a noise as if several coaches were approaching; shortly after, he perceived two driven up at a most furious rate. Witness went into the middle of the road and held up his stick, in order to stop the coach. Cox, the driver, pulled up the horses, and commenced abusing him in a very gross manner. The other coach, which belonged to Mr. Newbank, was then driven across the road, in order to prevent the first one from getting a-head. Mr. Burgess, for the defendant, said he had several objec. tions to the information. By the 3d of Geo. IV. it was required that the information should be exhibited by one of the passen gers ; the same insisted on by 50 Geo. 111. Mr. Hosiersrs overruled this objection. Mr. Burgess—l have another objection to this information, and that is for informality in not inserting the title of the Act, and which is expressly required by 50 Geo. 111. and also that the form of the said Act should be strictly observed. Mr. Hosxisis—You mean that the form is incomplete. Mr. Burgess—l am positive that it is necessary to write the words " fiftieth'? and " third" at full length, and not in figures, —the Judges decided so on a former occasion. Mr. Hosirms—The information is incorrect, and I must therefore dismiss it. It will be necessary to make out a fresh one. There were two other informations, but they were withdrawn for like informality. Mr. Burgess said that in one of them the words " George Fourth," were written instead of " George the Fourth." What those words meant he could not understand. Wheeler—These informations were not drawn M up by me ; they were written by one of your own frate rnitY, Mr. Burgess—l suspect ?.iey were drawn up by Mr. urges s. artin M r. B himself ; it is well known that Irishmen have leave to speak twice, it is but fair they should be permitted to write twice also. Mr. Hosicrszs—l beg, Mr. Burgess, that you will abstain from such observations in this office. I shall not permit them. Mr. Burgess—l am sorry for what I have said. I should not have spoken so if the opposite party had not first made similar remarks. Sir. Martin entered the office at the conclpsion of the case, but retired to the Chief Clerk's Office, where a conversation ensued between him and Mr. Mallett, the chief clerk. Mr. Martin expressed his determination to come forward and sup. port Wheeler in prosecuting the offenders. Fresh informations were immediately laid by Wheeler, a nd 3 future day was ap pvinted for the decision. DIVING COMPANY of PETERSBURGIie The following Imperial Ukase, dated He!sing fors, March 10, was received yesterday, and posted up at Lloyd's. It deprives the Diving Company of St. Petersburgh, established in 1750 and which had the exclusive right of salvage On all vessels shipwrecked on the coast, of the ex ercise of that privilege in the Duchy of Fin land• Copy of Imperial Ukase by which the Diving CompanY e t St. Petersburgh is deprived of all its privileges in the IWO' of Finland : " We, ALEXANDER 1., by the grace of God, Emperor 0 1 Autocrat of all the Russias, Grand Duke of Finland, c'C' &c., do hereby make known that our Senate for Finland havin g humbly addressed to us a representation, reporting i n law for the privileged Diving Company, established at St. Pe' tersburgh, in the year 1750, for the purpose of rescuing ship'' and craft, wrecked or suffering loss on the Russian Coasts in o , l' Gulf of Finland, is empowered in consequence of the said pr'' vilege, to exercise at present any exclusive right of diving or e salvage within the limits of th e pr ov in ce an d gove rnment °` Wyburg, and after taking the humble opinion of our Minister of Finance on the subject ; iiiMave been graciously pleased Lc! declare, that the right of salvage on wrecked and strandea vessels on the coast of the Wyburg Government, which Wes granted to the said Company under the former GovernineT of the Province, shall, in consequence of the altered orgen, l " zation of the said Government, from henceforth entirely cease ; and that on all future occasions of losses at sea in that district, the salvage shall be effected in like manner as in the rest of Finland, which is to serve as a guide to all whom it maY concern.

IllEm.—By letters from St. Petersburgh of the 17th (29 0 ult. it was the general opinion of the Russian Merchants tbal the Diving Company had no right to act in any part. FLOUR.—A letter from Valparaiso, dat e° March 31, says—" The market for flour on this coast is toe' beyond example. It is supposed that at least 100,000 dollars • will be lost this year on American account on this article. , t , t present, it will not nett the first cost, and at Charillos (wh,fr a is now the sea-port of Lima, while Callao is blockaded), A vy " barrels are afloat, and much of it must be thrown into the sea. I hand you an extract from one of the most respectable Anse rican houses in Lima, to a merchant of this place, d a ted 1 316 in January :—" For God's sake, let no more fiour come doss to Lima, if it will bring with you one dollar per barrel on board ; here it must be a total loss." BURNING OF AN ICE HOUSE !—At un W I l hour on the Bth inst. the extensive ice house of Mr. 'Wm. lig': in Philadelphia, was destroyed by fire. It was a low fra " '- , building, more than a hundred feet long, and contained a gr" quantity of ice. The straw used to cover the ice took fire Ac cidentally from the flame of a candle. st CHELMSFORD, AUGUST 16.--We have at la news of Mr. GRAHAM'S balloon, which went off alone p a Thursday, after Captain Gape had fortunately disentanet himself, and got off on the top of the house. Soon after I'''. o'clock on Friday evening the balloon was seen from :gran It rose with very considerable rapidity, and, to the horr or rich who possessed sensibility, burst. The volume of smoke ‘l,-ha, arose from it was very perceptible, and the various form s it e sumed in its descent was truly horrible ; every heart felt for rte poor sufferer, for it was unknown at Maldon that the mac ,"10 ascended without any adventurer. Those who followed Vi c c , from Chelmsford were the first to ease the agony of the tators. The balloon fell in a field, on the farm of J. Li aft grave, Esq. Beeleigh, one mile from Maldon, and was is'h.l„,ga taken care of by him, otherwise the desire of possessi n g a been meat of it was so general, that it would very soon have ea t torn to pieces. A report like a cannon was heard at the wog' of bursting. I tt CURIOUS 'CHAU, FNGE.—We have reCei ve( letter from Mr. J. 0.
