tribes, as well as the Zemelas ; Mustapha, their chief , is at Tremezen. His brother is Derechef, kra of Abdel Kader. At Mezeroz one of the Lieutenants of Mus tapha, with 400 men, will form part of the permanent troops of Abdel Kader. This Arab chief has had a battle with one of the great tribes, in which he killed a great many of them, and carried off a great quantity of cattle. This victory will have a great effect upon the Arabs of the plain, and will perhaps induce them to submit themselves completely to Abdel Kader, whom the greater part of them honour with the title of Sultan. Whether from being wea ried by the war, or from the fear inspired by Abdel Kader, the Arabs who have made their submission venture into the plain without apprehension of being plundered. The Gara bats have enriched themselves by these means, and there fore have become more quiet. At all events, we are receiv ing constantly large supplies of wool from the desert, which is about 8 days' journey from Mascara." The Penple Souverain of Marseilles gives the following from Algiers, of the Ist inst. :—" The Moors and Coulo glis residing at Algiers have raised a subscription for cele brating by a festival the arrival of the new Governor and other officers of the Administration. The state of things must have been bad to occasion so much joy on the mere prospect of a change. Several Turks, exiled on the first oc cupation of Algiers by its present masters, have returned from Smyrna by Tunis, and, availing themselves of the terms of the capitulation, are reclaiming the property they possessed before their expulsion. This property was sequestrated on the renewal of the Administration after the revolution of July. There was, however, an injunction against its being sold, at least during the sequestration. Some disgraceful transactions have, however, taken place, the example being given by those whose duty it was to cause the injunction to be re spected. The arrival of the right owners, however, will give rise to inextricable difficulties, since the first purchasers have got rid of their bargains to third persons, and thus got out of the scrape with, in some instances, profits amounting to ten times the amount of what they had advanced. This Will afford for a long time plenty of employment for the new Judges." A letter of the Bth from Toulon says—" The ArtHinise sailed this morning, and, as it is asserted, for the Levant. The despatches brought by the Grenadier from the Greek ports at which she touched are of the highest importance, and it is in consequence thereof that the Artheinise has been sent off with so much haste. It appears that her intelli gence relates to new attempts to excite insurrection in Greece. The Duquesne and also the Lainproie, having repaired their damages, have gone to rejoin the squadron, which has not left the island of Hieres.

The apprehensions that were entertained when I wrote you last of a very speedy rupture between Me hemet Ali and the Porte appear to have subsided for the present, not perhaps from any want of zeal on the part of either of the combatants, but from apprehen sions in a higher quarter, to which the Porte must succumb, that such a rupture at the present time might lead to very inconvenient consequences. There ap pears but one opinion, that the imposing naval arma ments of France and England in the neighbourhood of the Dardanelles, the reserved terms in which the Ministers of those countries have spoken as to the object of those armaments, and the general policy of late of the two great Powers in regard to their foreign relations, have rather staggered the great northern po tentate, who knows well that to embark in a war with France and England at present would involve almost the certain loss of all that he has gained, and perhaps a great deal more, while by pursuing his former tem porizing policy, hoodwinking and blinding his oppo nents as to his real intentions, and secretly fomenting disturbances in the Turkish empire, he may hope to gain what he dare not adventure for openly. At his bidding his creature, the Sultan, has bottled up his indignation against Mehemet Ali, and as suddenly as it was taken abandoned his intention of resorting to arms. We were not allowed to remain many days in fear of a war. The very next despatches from Constantinople advised us of the Sultan's fleet having returned to the arsenal to be disarmed, andnow it would appear that Redschid Pasha holds out that the force under his command had no other object but the suppression of the Coords, a people that had re volted against the Sultan's authority. A letter of his to Ibrahim Pasha has been transmitted here, and been a good deal remarked upon as a blundering attempt to give a different colouring to the enterprise from the true one. He writes, that he had succeeded in the object for which he had been employed ; that he was extremely interested in his (Ibrahim Pasha's) welfare, and anxious to know if he had been successful in sup pressing his rebellious subjects in Syria, because, if not, he was authorised to offer him the assistance of the army under his command for that purpose, wishing it thus to appear that the armament, so far from being hostile, was intended to befriend the Pasha. It is sur prising that anything so barefaced could be attempted, but surprise ceases when one recollects that this once great Power, " our old and faithful ally, the Turk," is reduced to a mere puppet, made to play all sorts of antics at the will of its sovereign lord and master. It is impossible to contemplate the present aspect of affairs in this part of the world without intense and melancholy anxiety, valuing as we ought the great in terests we possess, and seeing that Russia is allowed thus unmolested to go on maturing her plans of uni versal conquest in the East, in a way the most certain of success, by undermining the influence of the Porte everywhere, and not of the Porte only, but of other Eastern Powers, excitin g discontent in their subjects, and inducing a state of general anarchy, that cannot fail to lay all those Powers an easy prey at the feet of the great potentate, while we look on without making any resistance, beyond a threat like the present, which really amounts to nothing. The fleet will go into Malta for the winter without having fired a shot ; the same thing will be repeated next season, and so it will go on until the people of England get disgusted with the expense of so great an armament followed by no result, and we shall probably only get thoroughly roused to our danger when it will be too late to repair the error. Ibrahim Pasha has succeeded in capturing the last of the rebel Sheiks, Achmed el Kassem, who is to be sent here, in the hope that he will make disclosures as to the instigators of that insurrection, which will afford the Pasha an additional plea for shaking off the dependence on the Porte, a step that I believe he is determined to take without much further delay. The Pasha has conferred the rank of Bey upon Mr. Galloway, the engineer, and accompanied it with many marks of his confidence and regard. He is the first Englishmen that has attained this honour. The rank of Bey is equal to that of full Colonel, with com mand of 4,000 men, and the allowances attached to it are worth about 1,2001. a-year of our money. The " Bey's" family left yesterday for Malta, in the brig of war Phenix, on their way to England, where he purposes remaining a twelvemonth. An Irish Roman Catholic priest, the Rev. Daniel O'Croly, parish priest of Ovens and Aglis, county Cork, has published a letter, stating that he has been obliged to leave a parish in Courcy's country, because he set his face against the repeal and tithe agitation. ROMANTIC OCCURRENCE.—The following affect ing occurrence took place recently at the village of Wastaing, - near Luxembourg. The S i e ur Ni cholon had been for a long time warmly attached to the Demoiselle Eulalie D., and she on her part returned as warmly the affection with which he re garded her. He was in possession of a handsome dog, of which the young lady was particularly fond. While one day caressing the animal, it suddenly flew at her, and bit her in the hand. The dog was soon afterwards discovered to be in a frightfully rabid state, and it was in consequence destroyed by its master. Every precaution was immediately taken to pre vent any evil effects from accruing to the alarmed and un happy lady, but, melancholy to relate, decided symptoms of hydrophobia were soon apparent, and after lingering for nine days, the unfortunate girl expired in great agony. The dread ful fate of the being to whom he was so tenderly attached preyed so strongly upon the young man's mind, that two days after her interment he deliberately clapped a pistol to his head and blew his brains out. That nothing might be wanting to complete the romance of their story, her grave was opened sad he was buried beside her.

THE LATE DISGRACEFUL FRAUD IN FLORICULTURE detected at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, by which a country grower nearly succeeded in obtaining the Metropolitan Society's Prize for a Seedling Dahlia by gross deception, is fully exposed in the Horticultural Journal and Florists Register for October, now publishing by Chapman and Hall, 186, Strand, price Is., with a coloured plate of the Village Maid Rose ; and on sale by all Booksellers and Newsmen. Number XVII. will appear on the Ist November, and among other papers of deep interest will be one entitled Jerry Abershaw's Indignation at being called a Thief—Epistolary Justification of Gen tlemanly Pickpocketing—Proceedings of the Metropolitan Society with respect:to the late Fraud—The Tulip Fancier—New Arrange: ment for a Collection—Hints to Florists, &c., and will be embel lished with a figure of Mr. Hogg's new Carnation " Doctor Lindley." LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1834. The influence of the moon on the tide—taking for granted all that the ancient astronomers have promul- gated on the subject—is not greater than the influence of science on the physical and moral world. Whither soever it moves, the waves of wealth roll in its wake, attracted by its proximity. Its powers of attraction and repulsion are a thousand times more potent than those discoverable in nature. It fertilizes the desert— levels the mountain—directs the course of the river— stems the inundation of the headlong torrent—fills the city with the cheerful voice of industry—overflows the palace with luxury—and replenishes the cottage with comfort. 'Where the appearance of science is hailed, and her arts cultivated, there are the people rich— and intelligent, and free : where her assistance is spurned and contemned, there are the inhabitants poor, and ignorant, and superstitious, and enslaved. Look around on the empires, kingdoms, principalities, duke doms, states, and republics scattered over the surface of the globe, and say—is there one of them which is not a living proof of the truth of this assertion ? What raised Europe to its present distinguished posi tion from the gulph of barbarism in which it was sunk for ages, but the cultivation of science ? What elevated England to the honourable place which she now occupies among the most powerful countries in Europe, but her love and encouragement of science. The soldier may talk of his prowess in battle, and laugh at the claims of the mechanic to the honours of the victory ; but for all that, he may be told that science substituted the sword for the club, the match lock for the cross-bow, the musket for the matchlock, and the cannon for the heavy battering-ram. Science has likewise enabled us to penetrate the recesses of the tomb, and hold communion with the learned dead. It has accumulated the wisdom of ages for our instruc tion ; it has recorded the fate of nations, no longer numbered among existing states, that we may benefit by their example ; and it has extended our sojourn on earth beyond the years of METHUSELAH, by crowd ing in one week the knowledge, the industry, and the pleasures of half a century enjoyed by the antediluvian patriarchs. The labour of a long life is now per formed in a single day ; the learning of many years may now be acquired in a single week ; and the journeys which it took many months to accomplish may now be made between dawn and dusk in the season we are now enjoying. Science has elevated the mind, and smoothed the rugged surface of the body. It has clothed the humblest peasant in a garb of which an cient kings could not boast the equal, and it has given to cottages a luxurious view of the blue heavens and the green fields unknown in the palaces of the Cnsars. And yet, notwithstanding all this, we are every day receiving proofs that science has not still unfolded half the blessings she has in store for us. Half a century ago, and the world would have regarded as a proof of incurable lunacy a project for building steant-boats ; and we ourselves are old enough to remember when the plan of a steam-engine on a railroad would have been received with about the same degree of respectful at tention as a scheme for doing away with silk in ladies' dresses, by substituting soap-bubbles such as CRIJIK sHA NK pends from the pipe of his chubby philosopher. Yet all this, and more, has come to pass. Steam boats are now everywhere in requisition, and railroads are about being established throughout the kingdom. The report of the meeting at Bristol of the directors and proprietors of the Great Western Railroad,. which appeared in this paper of yesterday, and to which we then called the attention of our readers, is a convincing proof of the deep interest which the most intelligent portion of the people of England are taking in this momentous question. The public is beginning to perceive that whatever abridges human toil prolongs human life, as well as removes from the back of labour half the weary burthen which oppresses him. Corporations, too, begin to discover that no charter can confine wealth within any particular channel ; and that to be first in the list of commerce, it is necessary to be first in the encouragement of the arts and enter prises of commercial life. The great wisdom of a state consists in the earliest adoption of improvements. It is just the same with a town or a city, or any other emporium of riches, and mart of traffic. Bristol sees this, and her enterprising and intelligent citizens are preparing to avail themselves of the fruits of their sagacity. At the meeting to which we have referred above, which was most respectably attended, and at which the Mayor presided as chairman, Mr. WARD, who first addressed the assembly, after referring to the success of the Great Western Railway Bill in the House of Commons, well observed : " Genlemen, I have felt and still strongly feel it to be abso lutely necessary for the welfare of this city, that it should par ticipate in the advantages which other ports have obtained, and are obtaining, by means of railways ; and I would strongly urge upon all who have the good of the city at heart, whether we ought not also to avail ourselves of our great local advan tages ; but, unless we speedily follow the example which has been set us, we shall find ourselves left distanced in the race." This is sound reasoning, and to the purpose. No thing can be more certain than that those places through which railway communications are first per- Mitted to pass, will reap advantages which will never fall to the share of those last in the race of improve ment. It will matter very little whether a city under takes the formation of a railway to the metropolis, if the citizens look loiteringly and heedlessly on, till a more enterprising community has robbed them of their trade, and dried up the springs of their commercial consequence. The establishment of railways cannot now be prevented, and therefore the wisest course is to lose no time in adopting them. It is with feelings of unfeigned pleasure we observe that the Great Western Railway Company are ably seconded by those patriotic bodies, under the same name, who are similarly engaged in facilitating the means of improving the trade and commerce of the country. The Birmingham, the Great Southern, and the Great Northern Railway Companies, are each and all using every exertion to hasten this great work of national improvement. Among the advertisements in The Sun of this day, will be found a notice of the intention of the Northern Railway Company to apply to Parliament, during the next Session, for a Bill empowering them to carry a railroad from London to to Glasgow, passing through Norwich, Edinburgh, and a list of other towns which are given in the adver tisement. Should such a Bill pass both Houses early in the Session, which we trust it will, the benefit con ferred on Scotland will be of the most advantageous nature ; and the encouragement which will be thus given to industry will have a powerful effect in reviving the trade of Glasgow and the whole of the West of Scotland. The foreign trade of Glasgow would like wise receive much encouragement, from a line of cheap and expeditious communication be tween that city, and the metropolis. The only obstacles at present in the way of improve ments are the stage-coach proprietors, whom we re commend to make the best use of their time by be coming shareholders in ,the railway companies, as the safest way of securing early compensation ; and, it is rumoured, the Peers also—who are generally among the last in perceiving the necessity for changes, however salu tary. Both of these must give way for the benefit of the great mass of the people. The country will not stand still at the bidding of the innkeepers, or fastidious old gentlemen, too gouty or too ill-humoured to travel along with it. We beg to call particular attention to a letter on the new Poor Law Bill, signed " Justitia," which will be found in another column. There is no person better acquainted with the provisions of the new Act than the writer, and his observations thereon are both remarkably explicit, and exceedingly valuable. We recommend them particularly to such of the Magis trates and Overseers as are called upon to take a part in the administration of the Poor Laws under the amended system. The inconsistencies and imperfections of the enfran chising clauses of the Reform Act have been proved in so many instances during the recent proceedings in the Revising Barristers' Courts, that an immediate and effectual alteration ought to take place. The franchise is not only cut off by any abatement, however small, made by any collector or overseer in boroughs, but by the mis-spelling the name, or a number of other trifling errors, the vote is lost, while in the counties, the irre sponsible power which is placed in the hands of the Revising Barristers, is, as might have been expected, the source of many unjust, injudicious, and arbitrary decisions. The same case which obtains a vote in one county loses it in another, and the caprice of the Barrister, who cannot be called to account, is frequently the only rule of the law in these Courts. Two instances among thousands may serve to illustrate this fact. In the county of Suffolk the Rev. WM. WALLIS claimed to vote as Minister of the Independent Meet ing-house, Sudbury : the qualification was freehold pro perty to the rents of which he was entitled, and he was opposed on the ground that he was not appointed for life. He was appointed by the congregation in the usual manner, and contended that by law he could not be displaced, although he admitted that he would resign if he was not approved by the congregation. The Revising Barrister, Mr. EVANS, said it was indisputable, that an appointment during good behaviour was an appointment for life, and declared the vote to be good. In the Eastern Division of the county of Norfolk, the Rev. EDWARD HICKMAN of Denton claimed to vote as Minister of the Independent Meeting-house of that village ; the qualification was also freehold pro perty, to the rents of which he was entitled. The vote was also opposed on the ground that he was not ap pointed for life, and the very same defence was set up for him as that which Mr. WALLIS adopted ; not withstanding which, the Revising Barrister, Mr. PRAED, said it was not an appointment for life, and refused to confirm it. In this case it was proved that Mr. HICKMAN was appointed in the usual manner, Tttri ST TN, WNW*, WEDNTSDAit, OCTOBER i 5, 1834, • • • - 4r - • - , " ••„..

The facts of his being the only individual beneficially interested in the property, and hia power to prosecute the trustees in equity if they misapplied the funds, were submitted to the Barrister, as proofs that no other person could be entitled to vote for the property. It was also proved that under the old system, Mr. HICKMAN and all his predecessors had uniformly voted for the same estate ; but nothing would do for this barrister but an unequivocal assertion upon oath, that Mr. HICKMAN was appointed for life. This of course no independent Dissenter would undertake to swear to ; and thus, by the irresponsible will of one judge, all the independent Dissenting Ministers of East Norfolk are disfranchised, while those of Suffolk are permitted to vote, and in some instances by virtue of their office alone, in chapels to which no endowment whatever is attached, either in freehold or copyhold property. These things must show the necessity of immediate alteration in the management of the franchise, and the Dissenters will do well to petition that they may not remain subject to such caprice and folly for another year. We beg to call the attention of our readers to the important statement of the results of the improved sys tem of management in the administration of the poor rates in the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, which appears in another column. The readers of The Sun have had before them repeatedly the plans by which these advantages have been obtained, and therefore we need not recapitulate them ; suffice it to say, that there is scarcely a principle of the New Poor Law Amendment Act, which has not been in successful operation in that parish, and the results of the changes are in the highest degree satisfactory. A classification of the paupers, with work for them to perform, has diminished the in-door poor we perceive 18 per cent. A rigid investigation into the circum stances of the out-door poor has detected innumerable impositions, and the whole system combined affects the rate-payers to the extent of forty thousand pounds per annum in the decreased assessment. The present legal crusade against the chimney sweeps, however unaccountable it may seem, has, we fear, an origin which is any thing but creditable to those who have been the means of instituting it. We more than half suspect that it has been got up by way of a propitiatory sacrifice to the aristocratic and gen teel circles of the metropolis, whose sensitive ears, being in many instances of inordinate length, must, of course. have suffered proportionably from the constant repeti tion of such a vulgar cry as " Sweep." If this be really the case, we cannot but think that the " inno cent blacknesses"—as Elia quaintly calls them—,have been most unfairly dealt with. For why should those who cry " Sweep" be subject to persecution, when those who cry " Sprats" are held harmless ? Of the two monosyllables, the former has unquestionably the advantage over the latter in point of euphony, for it comes more " trippingly off the tongue," and is sooner done with. " Sprats" is a harsh, blustering sound, that has no doubt roused many a fine lady or gentle man from their noon-day dreams of balls and concerts ; but " Sweep" is softness and melody itself, falling upon the ear, " Like the sweet south " That breathes upon bed of violets." It is a ludicrous illustration of the rank absurdity of this law, that when a poor chimney-sweep, smarting under the sense of injury inflicted on him by the Le gislature, proposed the other day, at a police-office, to substitute the sentence " Lord have mercy upon me 1" for the obnoxious monosyllable " Sweep," the Magis trate told him that he might say that with impunity, for prayers were not interdicted ; but that if he per sisted in his usual professional ejaculation, he must be held responsible for the consequences T. We trust that the Legislature, since it has thought fit to " hurl the thunder of the laws on—Sweep," Will be just and impartial enough to visit all the other London Cries with an equal amount of male diction. Let it begin with " Sweep," but by all means let " Sprats" be next excommunicated ; and when these two plebeian noises have been put to shame and silenced, then let the expediency of call ing Dust ho" be inquired into, for it is a villainous Cry, and must shock the ears of gentility like th e knock of an unpaid tailor. " niers, all hot, all hot," we recommend to the special notice of Mr. O ' CONNELL'S Tail ; while " Old Cloathes" may be considered of by Sir CHARLES WETHERELL—though alas! this eminent individual is no longer numbered among our Legislators—and " Spruce Beer" by Mr. BUCKINGHAM and his Committee. It appears by the Brussels papers received this morn ing, that the English are buying up all the flax in Bel gium, which it is apprehended, will occasion great scarcity in that country. A similar visit is expected from the French, the crop having failed there. King LEOPOLD seems disposed not to dispense with the national militia, who have served five years, being rather anxious to continue the army in its present effective state. Inducements are held out to the men to re-volunteer. The whole of the Paris Papers of Monday have been received, with intelligence from Bayonne of the 9th instant. The only important news from Spain, is the final vote of the Procuradores on the debt, which will be found among the extracts from the Paris papers. RODIL is reported to have thrown up all his appointments, on intimation being received by him, of his removal from the com mand of the army. He has even resigned his seat in the Chamber of Proceres or Peers—a rather unfavourable sign of a disposition to continue to support the Government. What will be the end of all this, is more than we can determine. The Spanish Ministry is every day becoming more and more unpopular among the influential classes in England and France, and even at home they have some difficulty in defending themselves against the powerful parties that are opposed to both within doors and without. The report of the landing of Don MIGUEL in Spain is without any foundation, more than that an Austrian Officer, very like the Prince in appearance, passed through some towns on the frontier. The intelligence from Greece is of a discouraging n ature. Reports were circulated in Paris of another rebellion having broken out in that country. The only other intelligence which we have been able to collect will be found in the following paragraph from a Paris paper : ,‘ In consequence of the objection of the Archbishop of Paris, the service in honour of Boieldieu cannot be celebrated in the church of St. Roch. The holy Prelate will not allow a church under his jurisdiction to open its doors " to troop of men, and especially of women belonging to the theatre." Ho forgot that these men and women of the theatre who wished to do an honourable work by paying a tribute of respect to one of their most worthy friends, have a hundred d' n e a hc*,-. r.•,;rlc, there wac. one, their talents the roli , ,t.f of the unforti:-. bishop of Paris himself, who has lacqueys clothed in most splen did liTeries, has not, in his whole life, given more to the poor' than Madame Catalani, who was also a woman belonging to the theatre. And among the great artists who will to-mor row pay a tribute of esteem and regret to Boieldieu, there are some who have done more good and led better lives than many people of devotion. HIS MAJESTY.

MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY.—On Monday a great number of persons assembled at Hornsey Church, to wit ness the marriage of Samuel Cobbin, a love-sick swain, aged 82., who led to the Hymeneal altar a young lady in whom his affections had been centered for 50 years, and who had, during the whole of that time, adopted his name, although they had not the courage to enter the holy state of matrimony. The blooming bride, who is 80 years of age, was handed into the carriage of the Rev. Dr. Harvey, who honoured them by fur thering their views, and afterwards performed the solemn cere mony. A FINE CONGREGATIQN ! I—At Annadown, in this county, our readers might last Sunday have beheld a beau tiful specimen of that useful law church, which " does nothing for nothing for nobody." The reverend incumbent is staving at Salt-hill, and on Sunday last he went home to his flock. Of whom, gentle reader, do you think that the flock consisted ? Of his clerk, his lady, and two pious policemen !1 ! Such is the church of Ireland. —Connaught Journal. AFFAIR AT LUTON.--During the week there has been much excitement in this town, in consequence of a se rious imputation on the honour of the inhabitant occupying one of the best houses in the town. The husband, acting under high authority at Doctors' Commons, assisted by his brother, effected the expulsion of his wife from his residence. The affair having attracted a considerable crowd, the populace sided with the lady, and assumed such a formidable aspect that it was deemed advisable to send for two Bow-street officers (Goddard and Fletcher.) Such was the violence of the popu lace, that it is said the police-officers were obliged to mount the chaise, with their staves and loaded pistols, and in this manner to escort the husband and the brother out of the town. In the meantime the friends of the lady espoused her quarrel, and adopted measures towards the husband. Assault warrants were procured against the husband and his brother by the lady, and after the case was heard by the sitting magistrates at Luton, the defendants were held to bail.
