HAMBUILGII AND DUTCH PAPERS. PETERSBURGH, OCT. s.—Her Majesty the Empress Elizabeth arrived on the 24th ult. at Raslaw, in the Government of Smolensko, on her way to Taganrog. The new commercial treaty with Prussia has led to considerable changes in our custom-houses in the Baltic and in Lithuania. Those at Po longen and Jurburg are made custom-houses of the first class, and the depots at Kiew and \Vilna entirely abolished. On the Ist of this month a new ship of the line was launched near the Admiralty Dock-yards. It is called the Hango-udd, and carries 84 guns. It is the first ship built in Russia on the plau of Sir R. Seppings. MERSERERG, OCT. 3.—The Diet of the Pro vince of Saxony was solemnly opened yesterday. At nine o'clock the Deputies, with the Marshal of the Diet, Count StoFiber.; Wernigerode at their head, proceeded to the cathedral, where the Royal Commissioner, Mr. Von Klewitz, Minister of State, met them. After divine service, they went to the Hall, where the Commissioner hav ing opened the Diet, laid before it the subjects of discussion, which his Majesty had ordered to be proposed. HAGUE, OCTOBER 20.—SECOND CHAMBER OW TUE STATES GENERAL. The Committee that had waited on his Ma jesty with the list of three candidates for the office of President, reported that the Committee had been received in the usual form, and that his Majesty had replied that he would immediately fix upon one of the candidates. The President then read his Majesty's resolu tion, nominating M. Sandberg Presideut of the Chamber for the present Session. M. Sandberg having taken the chair, several messages from his Majesty were read, among which were one rela tive to the introduction of a new gold coin of the value of five florins, and one with a revised pro ject of law for the first and second books of the code of commerce. MARSEILLES, OCT. 10.—A brig lately arrived from Alexandria has brought the French General Livron, who is still in the service of the Paclia of Egypt. The General brings the ratification of a contract, by which a certain house here en gages to build for the Paella two frigates, of 60 guns each. The hmsse in question may dispose of the shipwrights and magazines of the Government at fixed prices, and make use of the talents of one of the Naval architects of the Government who will come from Toulon for the purpose. The building of a third ship, a corvette of 24 guns, is given up for want of timber. The merchants are not without fear that this may expose the French merchantmen to the same depredations from the Greeks as are suffered by the Austrians. EXCHANGES ON LONDON.

The Austrian Observer is silent respecting the affairs of Greece; this is a good sign for the defenders of the cross ; but let it take care what it is about. There is another Observer (that of Triesiel, which gives us great news : we shall repeat them, though persuaded that next week the Austrian Observer will tell us they are all fables and falsehoods, because there is nothing true but what is said by itself—the source of truth, and model of impartiality. We read the following in the Trieste Paper of the sth of October : Accounts by sea, and letters from the lonian Islands, fill our city with news. It is said that Ibrahim having abandoned rripolizza, was going to collect his whole force. It is said that • IbrahitN, having killed th e Paella of CAndia, had himself been oy the nephew of that Paella. It is said that the island of Pore, opposite Hydra, in the Gulf of Athens, has been ceded by the Greeks to the Americans, who are going to fortify it. It is said that an English squadron of several sail has been seen steering from Malta towards the Morea. It is said more positively than ever, that the plague rages more than ever at Modon. Lastly, it is said that the Greeks have just received 1,1100,000 piasters from London." FRE.ecl FUNDS.—PARIS, OCT. It —Five per Cents. 991. 95e.—Three per Cents. /V.—Neapolitan Rentes, 87.

" We yesterday left Cephalonia for England, and I shall give you a short summary of the state of affairs in Greece at the moment of my depar ture. North of the Isthmus hostilities had entirely eeased in Western Greece. On the retreat of the Turkish squadron from the Gulf of Lepanto, in the latter end of August, the land forces de prived of their assistance, carried on the siege of llissolonglii with but little spirit ; and as the town was well provisioned immediately, it dis regarded their efforts. However, on the com mencement of the rains in September, the Ron. mili Valici withdrew his troops entirely, and on the oth or 10th instant retired from before the town in the direction of Arta, so that Miss°. longhi, after this her third successful de fence, may consider herself impregnable, at least to the Sultan's forces. The plans of Ibrahim Paella seemed to have been concerted in conjunc tion with those of the commander of the Turkish forces in the North, or at least his final move ments to have depended on his successes ; for im mediately on the failure of the Ottoman fleet in the Gulf, he too commenced retiring from Trip°. lizza, though he had received his fresh reinforce ments, and withdrew with all his troops to Kale mata, his former head-quarters at Modon being infected with a contagion with many symptoms of _plague. Here he still remains, whilst the Egyp tian squadron is still at Alexandria, but is shortly expected on its return with stores and fresh troops ; to intercept which, and follow the Turks, who have steered, it . is said, for Rhodes, the Greek fleet has again sailed southward ; but no news of their move ments has as yet I.rrived. In Candia a new -insurrection has commenced, the Greeks having' seized on the fortress of Gambousa, at the north. of the island, which is of importance, as well from its strength as from its possessing a capital larltour. Immediately on this intelligence reach-) ing Napoli di Romania, a few troops and some vessels were sent to their assistance, the former of whom are in possession of the fortress, whilst the ships are crnising before it. A Candiot Pacha, in Ibrahim Pacha's army, having heard of this, and being anxious to return for the pro tection of his property, was forcibly detained by Ibrahim ; and on his proving refractory, was put to death, it is said, by the Pacha's own hand. At Napoli di Romani faction seems to have been lulled for the moment, and all, though most anxious for foreign interference or aid, look un animously towards Great Britain. The organi zation of the regular troops goes on with spirit, 1,200 being a present enrolled, and the num ber daily increasing. The campaign may now be considered closed, or at least verg ing on its termination. Colocotroni is again collecting his army, and has left Napoli di Ro mania for that purpose, but nothing of import. ance will occur, as I think, at present, the win ter preventing the operation of the Arabs and the movements of the fleet, and the Greeks too anxiously looking for foreign aid to take any active steps themselves ; but all speak, as usual, with great hopes for the coming campaign, when their navy will have its frigates and steam-boats I —they their tactics and bayonets." DE FACTO, AND DE JURE. Louts XI. of France was remarkable for the very low rate at which he estimated every man's life in his dominions, except his own ; and among a variety of instances related by historians of the day, in which this disregard was carried to an excess almost ludicrous, one of the most extrava gant is the story of " the Prior of St. Cosmo."— In the early part of Louis's reign, this Priest, who was a favourite of the King, and a man of great sanctity, undertook a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, in the execution of which he was made pri soner,and carried as a slave into Barbary. Twelve years after—either escaping, or by some other means compassing his freedom—after being long accounted dead, he found his way back again to France ; but, in the interim, it turned out that a new Prior, one of the King's chaplains, had been appointed to his monastery. The case was one rather of nicety. The original Prior entreated to be restored to his place ; and this (at first) the King promised should be done. But there were difficulties in the way. The new incumbent, in his turn, was a sort of favourite. Delays arose ; and the claimant mercilessly petitioned seven Limes a week, until, at length, Louis, tired of im portunity, and seduced, as he was apt to be, t o the readiest mode of accommodating such a mat ter, desired Tristan L'Hermite to " rid him of the Prior of St. Cosmo." Now Tristan, being a man of few words, merely bowed his obedience to this intimation ; and, being also a person of rather literal understanding, he never dreamed, when he heard a " Prior" mentioned, of any body but the officer who actually kept the keys as such, and received the revenues ; therefore, briefly, he betook himself straight to the mona. stery of St. Cosmo ; and maugre the prayers of the miserable superior, carried his orders coolly into execution. On the next day, when the King held his levee, the late traveller in Barbary, quite unconscious of what he had escaped, appeared with the hundred and eleventh petition. The King was surprised, for he thought all demands had been satisfied in full the night before.— " How is this," said he, privately, beckoning to Tristan, who was present—" Did I not tell you to rid me of the Prior of St. Cosmo ?" " The Prior, my liege !—did your Majesty mean this man ?" whispered the Provost, with some little hesitation. " Why whom else should I mean, sirrali 1" returned the Monarch. " Did I not speak of him ?" " I understood your Majesty to mean the other prior—he was hanged last night at eight o'clock." The King paused for a mo ment ; the error probably had beer involuntary—. " It is soon remedied, my liege," said the Mini ster of Justice, " I will take off this Prior to night also." But Louis, though cruel, never de sired blood farther than was necessary to his safety or convenience—" As the mistake has oc curred," he replied, 44 and cannot be helped ; the man had som right on his side, let him take the benefit of it. Let him be restored to his place," continued the Monarch, 44 and, gossip, keep your own counsel ; fort:lne has done well for him, and we will not oppose her. It was ne cessary that, in some way, I should be freed from his importunities ; but we shall accomplish that now in this way, as easily as we could do it in the other." MARINER'S CITURCII SOCIETY.-A. meeting of the friends of this Institution was held at Liverpool, on Wed nesday last, the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of CIEESTE R in the chair. " his Lordship, in a speech of some length, and of characteristic eloquence, lamented the little provision which had been hitherto made for the religious instruction of seamen ; he noticed the arguments used by those who are opposed to this laudable measure, which, he said, to his mind, were utterly futile. Whea the business of the day had been completed, and a subscription made, his Lordship undertook to use his in fluence in bringing over such of the clergy as were opposed to the measure. The meeting then broke up. AMIENS, OCT. 16.—WOLVES are seldom seen in this department ; they have been, however, this year past more frequently seen than usual. The following is from a neighbouring : " There is, in the middle of the plain of Toulay, near Ferriere, an old foss or dyke, partly covered with wood, and surrounded by a wall, to prevent the near approach of cattle. The owner of the land was in the habit of throwing into this foss such animals as he found dead on his farm. Dur ing the night of the 11th and 12th of last month, a wolf from the forest of Ally, attracted no doubt by the smell of the carcases that were in the foss, approached, and fell into it. He was seen for three days at the bottom, striving, by every spe cies of leap and jump from one side to the other, to gain the top again, and effect his escape. He sometimes lay down and. rested himself after great exertions, and then renewed his efforts, but to no purpose, and he at length fell down and lay ex hausted with fatigue. The landowner at last threw a parcel of straw into the foss, and set fire to it. The unfortunate wolf redoubled his efforts to escape, but alt in vain ; he expired in the midst of the burning furnace, into which his voracious appetite had led him. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—Observing in last Thursday's Police Re port, that a " Mr. William Everett, of Chelsea, a clerk in an office, attended at Queen-square on a warrant, charged with striking and ill.treating his wife," I beg to state that the above individual is neither related nor known to your humble servant, JOHN EVERITT EVERITT. Wilton-place, Knightsbridge, late of Sloane. street, Chelsea. LOSS of the CITY of GLASGOW STEAM-PACKET. " LlvEnroor., Oc T. 2l.—We regret to state, that the City if Glasgow steam-packet, in coming out of Douglas Harbour on Wednesday night last, was struck with a heavy squall, which drove her on a ledge of rocks at the entrance of the har bour, where she lies dry at low water. The crew and passen gers were all saved." A second edition of the Liverpool Mercury contains the fol lowing additional particulars, partly extracted from the 21fanks Advertiser of Thursday, which says---" The City of Glasgow, Captain Carlyle, left Greenock about one o'clock on Tues day last, and after encountering the violent storm of that night, arrived in this bay yesterday Afternoon, about four o'clock, with her machinery considerably injured, part of which was sent on shore to be repaired. About midnight she attempted to proceed on her voyage to Liverpool, but owing to the machinery_ not being prop er ly p u t in order, her en g i ne would not work ; her anchors were then let go, but such was the violence of the wind (which veering from the north-west to south-east, blew for about two hours from that point a complete hurricane) that the vessel drifted upon the rocks at the entrance of the harbour, where, we are sorry to say, she sustained very considerable damage. The packet im mediately after listed to port : and her side was stove in. Just before she struck, we understand that Sir William Hi lary, apprehending the danger to which she would he ex posed, and which has been unhappily verified, offered twenty pounds to any of the boats that would go out and take a line to her ; but such was the sea at the mouth of the harbour, that not one dared to venture out. A line was after some time got on shore, but all attempts to get her ofF proved fruitless.— Hopes, however, are entertained that she will be got into port this evening's tide. It was with great difficulty that the pas sengers were landed from the packet, one of the boats being up set on reachihg the shore, owing to the violence of the surf, but we are happy to add. that no lives were lost." We have since (says the Liverpool lifcreury) received the following letter, containing some additional particulars, from a passenger on board the vessel, which, it appears, will be a total wreck : "TO THE EDITORS OF THE LIVERPOOL 3IERCURY.' " Gentlemen—l write in haste to inform you of the wreck of the City of Glasgow last night. We struck on a rock at half past eleven, and remained in the most perilous situation till five this morning. Passengers all safe—vessel total wreck. I write this principally to say no blame can be imputed to Cap tain Carlyle; nor can too much praise be iven to Sir William Hilary, who himself came in a boat, whem.no boatmen would stir to rescue the suffering passengers, who, in that situation, were exposed, every moment expecting our last, until five o'clock this morning. 1 can scarcely hold my pen.

PATAL ACCIDENT BY STEAM-BOATS. [Further Particulars.] (From the Greenock Adixrtiser of Friday.) The Comet steam-boat, on her passage from Inverness to this port, had reached the point of Kempoch at nearly two o'clock, when she was met by the steam-boat Ayr, M'Clelland, of Ayr, which was on her way to that port from Greenock.— The two boats going with considerable velocity, were very near each other before mutually observed: As soon as perceived, the person on the look-out on board the Comet cried to the pilot to put the helm a-starboard, which order the pilot of the Ayr understood to be meant as instructions to him; both vessels were in consequence directed towards each other, and before the •unfortunate mistake could be remedied, they came in contact with such violence, as to stave in the star board bow of the Comet, which vessel in a few minutes went down, and, melancholy to relate, the whole of the passengers, with the exception of nine, and the master and pilot of the vessel, were drowned ! Two of the latter, a lady and child, have since died. The"total number of passengers on board are estimated to have been between sixty and seventy, but we are unable to obtain any certain account. The most prompt and humane assistance was afforded to the few survivors 'by Mr. Andrew Ranken and Mr. Glen, of Gou rock, anti Mr. Robert Maitland of this town, who are still ac tively engaged in securing the property, which, together with the bodies of the sufferers, is hourly coming ashore. We are unable as yet to furnish any account of the names of those drowned on this melancholy occasion, but from a gold watch with the name "Arend. Grahame" engraved on it, and several bills drawn in favour of Arend. Grahame, Corpach, being found on the person of a young gentleman washed ashore, we have little doubt of his being the person of that name; also Mrs. Wright of Glasgow, whose body has likewise been got. A Captain Sutherland and his lady from Inverness were on board, whose bodies are not yet found. There have also been washed ashore, besides the two above-named, the bodies of four men, four women, and two children, whose names we have not hitherto been able to learn. Too much praise can not be bestowed on the people of Gourock, generally, for the readiness with which they gave their assistance, and the honesty which has been sliewn in delivering up the property picked up along the beach ; one instance of which deserves to be mentioned. A young girl, daughter of James Mains, of Gourock, found a 50/. Bank of England note, which was instantly, in the most praiseworthy manner, delivered to Mr. Rankin. Great blame is attached to the Captain of the Ayr, for not attempting to afford assistance; he almost instantly, on the catastrophe occurring, put about and made for Greenock ; had he, on the contrary, stopped to pick up those who were able to struggle fur a short time on the surface of the water, the chance is, that many might have been saved who have now met a watery grave, and his vessel might have been run ashore at Gourock, had he found her so leaky as to be unfit to proceed back to our port. Those saved were chiefly rescued by wherries belonging to Gourock, which instantly put off when the alarm was given. We could have wished that no cause had existed to suspect depredation of the property cast ashore, but from the circum stance of a trunk being carried up to an adjoining field by two men, who have since absconded, leaving the trunk open, which was found by a person who brought it to Mr. Rankin, con taining some wearing apparel, it is strongly suspected that money had been abstracted. The information of the accident was speedily made known here by the arrival of the Ayr, and, both before and since morning dawned, the most active assistance has been supplied from hence, for the purpose of recovering the bodies, collect ing the property cast ashore, &c. Of the latter a great quantity has been safely stored in the cellars of Mr. Rankin's house. The money found is likewise in safe custody. C. Marshall, Esq., Sheriff-substitute of the Lower Ward, went down early this morning, as likewise several gentlemen in the commission of the peace, to render every assistance. Shells have been or. dered to be prepared for the bodies, as also the customary ap parelling of the dead, and the hapless victims have been con veyed to Gourock Church, to await being claimed by their relatives. In short, whatever sympathy, humanity, and the most honourable and judicious feelings could devise, has been resorted to, on all hands, to pay respect to the remains of those who have so suddenly been called from this scene of transitory existence. This melancholy event will at once revive the recollection of the loss of the Catherine, of lona, from being run down by the Hercules steam-boat, on the night of Saturday the 10th of August, 1822. A strong coincidence prevails in the two cases. in both the calamity was occasioned by steam-vessels, in the very outset of their Career. The time was nearly the same : the accidents occurred almost at the same place, anti had si milar causes assigned them. In the case of the Catherine, 42 persons perished out of 46 ; in the present instance it is to be feared, however, a much larger number has been lost. An investigation of the whole matter is now going on, and may be expected to continue until the causes anti consequences are fully developed. We shall leave no eflbrt untried to collect whatever information is attainable regarding it, which, as far as we may then have acquired, shall be reported in our next. — Meanwhile, we trust the imperfections and irregularities of the present narrative will be ascribed to their proper source- 7 1 11 e impossibility of procuring and arranging, within so short a time, any thing like a complete detail of so great a calamity. O'CLOCK.—We have just learned that the Captain of the Comet, corroborated by one of the other sur vivors, states it as hi s o pi n i on , th a t th ere were no t mo r e than 60 individuals on board when she went down. Four English gentleme n had been landed at Rothsay last night. There were 26 cabin pas sengers. At two o'clock only 12 bodies had yet been recovered. Besides th ose l os t w ho se names h a ve already mentioned, are the follo w in g i—Mr. M'Allister, writer, Edinburgh : Mr. APAllister said to be a relation of the above; Captain Camp bell. Mr. Cameron, jun., Fort-William, saved, FATAL ACCIDENT AT BATTEItSEA.—OtI Satur day afternoon a most dreadful accident took place, which had nearly proved fatal to the lives of fourteen individuals, at the extensive works of Mr. Spiller, the engineer, situate on the Surrey side of Battersea-bridge. The premises were formerly a soap-nouse, but latterly have been in the possession of Mr. Spiller. About one o'clock on Saturday a barge came along side the wharf, in which was a stupendous iron boiler, weigh ing five tons, and from twelve to fourteen men were employed in removing it into the factory, by means of a crane affixed to the wall on the summit of • the building ; some of the men were engaged at the windlass, whilst Mr. Spiller himself, a young man named Joseph Pinchbeck, Samuel Cole, the bargeman, and two lads were in the barge, affixing the pulley to the boiler, the usual signal was given to the men at the windlass, and the ponderous weight was hoisted to the height of from two.to three feet, when all of a sudden the whole top front of the premises to which the crane was attached was torn down by the burden, and the whole of the brick-work, together with the crane and the boiler, fell with a tremen dous crash into the barge. The alarm that prevailed was indescribable ; those men on the premises narrowly escaped, as immediately after, the roof of the building fell in also._ Mr. Spiller, who was in the barge, was forced into the river, and saved his life by swimming to the opposite shore. The bargeman, with extraordinary presence of mind, caught up the two lads in his arms, and fled with them to the after part of the barge, by which effort the three were preserved. IVe however have the painful (;:ay to add, that the young man, named Pinchbeck, was struck on the forehead by some of the falling materials, and killed instantaneously. The man (Sa muel Cole), one of the others in the barge at the time, was buried under the heap of rubbish, from which lie, after much difficulty, was extricated, after remaining in his perilous situa tion for about ten minutes. The unfortunate man was then alive, but it was considered that nearly every hone in his skin was broken, and lie was carried to St. George's Hospital on a shutter, where he now lies. Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, an inquest was held on the body of Pinchbeck, by Mr. CAR TER, the Surrey Coroner, at the Swan Inn. It appeared that the deceased was about to be hound apprentice to Mr. Spiller, and on this occasion was only a looker-on in the barge when the ° fatal accident occurred. The occurrence, from the evi dence that was given, appeared to the jury to be purely acci dental, and a verdict to that effect was returned. The deceased was a very promising young man, in the 18th year of his age. We have heard since that every attention is paid to the injured man Cole, and great hopes are entertained of his recovery. REMARKABLE A CCI DENT.-011 SIIIIBBy fore. noon, a Gentleman, mounted on a valuable blood horse, rode down Upper Seymour_street, where an immense sewer is form : l e g, upwards ot sixty feet deep, and in endeavouring to pass across the boards covering the excavations, one of them broke, and the horse and rider sunk into the chasm. Several persons who witnessed the sudden disappearance, rushed to the open ing, and with some little difficulty assisted the gentleman (who clung to one of the cross beams in his descent) out of his perilous situation. The horse, however, remained below, m s u in s trU h l a a v r ci ep m e n ri c s e h , ed w as by p g r e e t v ti e n n g tedgoi between tg I to tw the b bottom, eam s a t w l ni n derebyita immense crowd soon collected, and some of them very ac tively erected a mast and pulley, and having made fast some blOcks and tackle, one or two descended with the ropes, pro perly sheved, and fastening them round the horse, cut away the beams, and then the animal was hawled up, uninjured, amid the loud cheers of the assembled by-standers. The gentleman then, after observing it was impossible to reward them indivi. dually for their exertions, went to the Prince of Mecklenburgh public-house, and left 5/, with the landlord, to be spent for the hemtfit of all who had assisted in saving his horn, is to ERRATIfm.—In the paragraph yester d a y relating,,tin° etoth Mr. SMITH, of Bury St. Edmonds, instead of year," read " ninetieth." 3 p e : (.
