BRUSSELS, SEPT. B.—His Majesty the King set out yesterday at half-past four o'clock for Liege. It is supposed that his Majesty is gone to Aix-la-Chapelle, where he will meet their Majesties the King and Queen of Prussia. The King's absence, it is said, will b e very s h ort : The British een left Antwerp yesterday, at one o'clock, for New York. Seventeen - passengers embarked at Antwerp, among whom were three young nuns from Numur, who are going to the Convent of Saint Louis, at Cincinnati. We do not know how many passengers have taken their passage from Cowes. LIEGE, SEPT. B.—Yesterday evening, at seven o'clock, his Majesty arrived in this city ; he alighted at the resi dence of the Governor, where he passed the night. This morning, at seven o'clock, he set out for Cologne, where the King of Holland has already arrived. This bill be the first time that the Kings of Holland and Belgium have met. M. Van de Weyer, our Ambassador to the Court of Great Britain, arrived here last night, with his family on his way to Aix-la-Chapelle. BERLIN, SEPT. 6.—The printed list of foreign officers who are at heid-quarters during the reviews, includes 157 persons. The English are much more numerous than the others, for . there are fifty-nine of them among whom, besides Lords Westmoreland and De Grey, there are five Lieutenant-Generals, two Major Generals, four Colonels, seven Lieutenant-Colonel% two Majors, sixteen Captains, and nineteen Lieutenants and Ensigns. All the foreign officers set out yesteMay and to-day very early for the camp. They all take: their meals together at the Hotel de Ville. BERLIN, Auc. 31.—Accounts from St. Petersburgh say that a slight indisposition of his Maje ty the Emperor Nicholas, occasioned by taking col Pat a review, had not had any serious consequence. His ,Majesty was already . recovering. His Imperial Highness the Duke of Leuch tenberg intended to leave St. Petersburgh with his con sort on the Ist of September, and to make a journey to Italy, passing through Vienna and Munich. ALEXANDRIA, AUG. 22.—A squadron is DOW getting ready for sea, which consists of four ships of the line, and a number of frigates, corvettes, and brigs. It is to make evolutions before the harbour. Said Pacha, who is to'comman€l it, is expected from Cairo to morrow. Sarni Bey has not yet returned from Con stnntinople, but is daily expected. Mehemet Ali seems to be rather uneasy about the state' of Syria, as he fears that the Porte may suffer foreign intervention to be forced upon him, which of course would not be agreeable to him, because he may hope to recover his influence in that country if things go on as they 'have done. The Nile has now risen 'so much that Egypt may expect an abundant harvest, and' the prospects of the merchants are improved. BELGIAN FUNDS.—Baussims, SEPr.

COLOGNE, SEPT. s . —Yesterday was the great day here. Of the promised kings only one was present ; the King of Wurtemberg did not arrive, and his Hanoverian Majesty was detained by illness; thus accident having removed all occasion for amusingcom parisons, favoured the serious aim of the assembly. At an early hour the avenues to the cathedral were crowded, and the open spaces in its vicinity scarcely sufficed to hold the curious, who, however, were not to be tempted to ascend scaffoldings at a dear price, which had no strong guarantees for their solidity, and which looked down with empty seats upon the crowd congregated beneath. The day chosen for the ceremony being Sunday, it was quite in order that the King should first at tend the service at the Protestant church. It was, of course, equally in order that high mass should be performed on that day in the cathedral. At both services the King and Queen were present. After church the Royal party proceeded to the spot on the south side of the aisle which had been prepared for the laying of the first stone, when the• King, on proceed ing to perform the ceremony, addressed a speech of some length to the assembled multitude, in which th e leading th eme re l ate d to the wishei, political and re ligious, of the Germanic States. Illustrating by his torical allusions the advantages which other countries had drawn at various periods from the disunion pre vailing in Germany, he glanced skilfully at a recent attempt to do the same on the part of a neighbouring Power ; but which attempt, he congratulated himself and them, was decisively foiled by the display of una nimity which Ger many un d er arms put forth. " This day," continued the Royal orator, "is destined to record a display of unity not less important. It will record, for those who doubt the fact, that, although various shades of doctrine and opinion may divide us, yet that Christendom is not disunited—that it forms one great and indomitable whole. In sign of this conviction the representatives of all confessions and of every German land were there, and each felt that he derived strength from the consistency that he lent to the general fabric." The King was interrupted here by loud acclama tions, and when they had subsided added, " The sen • timents I have uttered have met with the heartfelt applause of a city like yours ; let us give the ancient word once more—' Cologne for ever' (Alaff Conn)." At this the shouts were redoubled. The Archbishop's coadjutor advanced, gave his be nediction, and addressed the people, but his speech was not as distinctly audible as that of the King. After this the architect of the building, a man generally esteemed, but who had been much fatigued with the care of providing the accommodation for the numerous guests, spoke in his turn. He alluded to the discernment of the late King, which led him to patronise this national work, which he, however, left unfinished to his heir. The heir h a d accepted the obliga tion of carrying out his father's intentions, in token of which, the labours at the cathedral were to be in creased. As he spoke, the old crane at the top of the half-finished tower, so well knoivn to travellers, was set slowly in motion, and a huge stone was raised to the summit, in token of the promised continuation of the edifice. The assembly then broke up, and the company invited, soon after one o'clock, met in an im mense tent, a present from the Emperor of Russia, in which upwards of 400 covers were laid. The banquet passed off gaily, and in the evening the company ap peared at the theatre. The King and Queen have left for the castle of Bruhl, near Bonne, where they will stay until the two camps unite and perform their manoeuvres. In the evening the town was illumi nated, and the Rhine front produced a rare and bril liant effect on the water. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.)

Many experienced persons being of opinion, that since the strike one and a half million of pieces have, as it were, been with held ; and the same persons calculate!, that before the turn-out is completely at/an end, that the quantity will be two millions of pieces. Yet, in the face of all this, the prices for n!,• ; it o r our plain f-traple articles are on the decline. This fact argues no good to the operatives when the looms now standing are again put in motion.— Mauchoter Correspoudeus of the 4iverPool A 0714 THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1842 RUSSIA AND PRUSSIA. The Prussian State Gazette, of the Ist instant, has the following on the accounts, which have appeared in various Journals, relative to the state of the com mercial relations between Russia and Prussia. After alluding to some of these accounts as erroneous, it says : We have great satisfaction in being able to lay before our readers positive information on the subject, derived from a source in which every confidence may be placed. The last treaty of commerce and naviga tion between Prussia and Russia, which was con cluded on the 11th March (26th February), 1825, expired with the year 1834. Since that p er i o d there have been no other conventional regulations for the commerce and the communications between the fron tiers of the two countries than those contained in the treaty of the 3d of May, 1815, relating to the Duchy of 11 , arsaw. These provisions, however, applied only to the provinces of the two States which formed parts of ancient Poland, and are considered to be so gene ral and undefined with regard to the import and transit trades, that new and special arrangements are required for carrying them on. Russia' considers herself to be compelled, in order to protecit her own manufactures and produce, to levy high import duties, and at the same time keep a strict watch upon her frontiers. Russia follows a very rigid commercial system—one which other States followed in the last century, and which some continue to follow, although to a less extent, and which is still not without advo cates even in Germany. The eastern provinces of the monarchy are deprived by this system of a com merce for which their geographical position, as well as the nature of their manufactures and natural pro duce, renders them peculiarly apt. They p are the more injured by the policy of Ru ss i a as the Zollve rein (the Customs-union) opens a competition in the markets to all nations by the moderate rates of its duties. in 1836 an endeavour was made to bring the two States to a mutual understanding, but since that time the ordonnances affecting the commerce and communications between the frontiers have become more and more burdensome. When the King was at St. Petersburgh, this question was taken into serious consideration between the two Sovereigns, Russia cannot, it is true, make up her mind to relinguish a system which she conceives to be indispensable for her prosperity, but she is desirous of forming alliances of amity and commerce with the States adjoining her so far as may be compatible with the system she has adopted." NEW SETTLEMENT IN NEW ZEALAND. (Extract from the Colonial Gazette of the 17th August CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN AIR. RENNIE AND THE NEW ZEALAND COMPANY. MR. RENNIE TO THE NEW ZEALAND COMPANY. London, July 28, 1842. Gentlemen,—The public expect that the Direc • tors of the New Zealand Company, while seeking to secure the interests of their Shareholders by realising an adequate return upon the capital employed, will not limit their operations to trafficking in land, but will act in the capacity of national agents for pro moting the colonization of New Zealand, and for ap plying upon an extended scale, and under the im proved arrangements which experience may now sug gest, the saving principle of defraying the cost of emi gration by means of the value which the peopling of a new country confers upon its land. Participating in this expectation, I address myself to your Court, with the twofold object of stating the grounds of our conviction that there exists at the pre sent moment an urgent necessity for making imme diate preparations for conducting an extensive emigra tion from this country to the Colonies, and of sub mitting for your consideration the outline of a plan in which a body of persons whom I represent on this oc sion are desirous of engaging, for founding, under the auspices of the Company, another settlement in New Zealand. After calmly surveying the various remedial mea sures which have been either adopted or proposed for removing the causes of this distress, we have arrived at the concl us i on , th at extended colonization affords the only means by which the causes of the distress which has overspread the country can be permanently abated. To remove without transferring distress, to preserve the peace of the country, to save the institu tions of England from being swept away in an un controllable rebellion of the stomach, it is necessary that we should resort to some immediately effectual means of providing for the unemployed, and destitute masses. But in what way can immediate relief be afforded ? To this momentous question, in our opi nion, only one answer can be given : convey the un employed labour of the United Kingdom to the un occupied lands of the Colonies ; adopt an extensive scheme of systematic colonization. The adoption of an extensive plan of colonization would afford instantaneous relief: it would occasion an immediate increase in the demand for shipping, and for all the various materials required for the equipment and maintenance of the emigrants ; and while it thus enlarged the field of employment, it would diminish the number of hands seeking to be employed. But though: the conveyance of a portion of our unemployed population to the unoccupied lands of the Colonies affords, we think, the only effectual means by which markets can be opened and the causes of distress removed, vet it does not appear that the Executive Government is prepared to originate any extensive plan of emigration. It may even be ques tioned, whether, in a movement of this character, Government should take the initiative. An extensive scheme of emigration, if adopted in the first instance as a Ministerial measure, might be rendered unpopu tar by being represented as compulsory, and might be cried down by the ignorant and prejudiced as a species of transportation, while, were it undertaken by a public C om p any , i t would be less open to such unfounded objections, and would be presented more in - the character of a voluntary and spontaneous movement on the part of the people themselves. Having thus endeavoured to explain the grounds of our conviction that it has become indispensably neces sary, as regards the mitigation of distress, the pre servation of the public peace, and the security of life and property, that immediate arrangements should be made tor, the adoption of an extended scheme of emigration, and being of opinion that, in the present state of public feeling, it is expedient that such ar rangements should originate with an incorporated Company rather than with the Executive Govern ment, we now proceed to lay before the Court of Di rectors the outline of the plan in which we are our selves desirous to embark for founding, under the auspices of the Company, another settlement in New Zealand. The new art of systematic colonization consists in defraying the expense of conveying the enemployed labour of the mother country to the unoccupied land of the Colonies, by means of the marketable value which the approach of an industrious population con fers on the previously valueless wastes of a new coun try. The results of the experiments which have hi therto been made in the practice of this art are en couraging and instructive—encouraging, as affording a practical demonstration of the principle that tha cost of emigration may be defrayed by means of the value it creates'; instructive, as suggesting precau tions for avoiding the causes of difficulty and retard ation which have occurred in the earlier experimental settlements. Some 'allusion to these causes may be useful. The provisions introduced into the Act of Parlia• ment erecting South 'Australia into a British province rendered the commission of practical errors unavoid able. The act prescribed the limits of the province before the character of the country included within those limits could be adequately known ; it forced pre liminary land-sales to absentee proprietors ; and it precluded the Colonization Commissioners from com mencing their operations by advancing the surveys, and by adopting precautions for the accommodation of the settlers on landing, and for placing them on their locations without delay and expense. These impediments to early progress would be avoided under the arrangements now contemplated. It is proposed that the new settlement should be founded on some eligible site on the eastern coast of the Middle Island of New Zealand. This part of the coast has been selected, because it presents the very important advantage of having been already exa mined, and found to comprise an ample extent of fertile land, and to contain several safe and commo dious harbours. An advantageous site for the new settlement being in the first instance secured, we propose that the Company commence their operations by sending out a preliminary expedition, consisting of surveyors, civil engineers, mechanics, and a few agricultural labourers. On the arrival of the preliminary expe- . dition at its destination, the surveyors should pro ceed to lay out the town, and the engineers to con struct a landing-place, a wharf, and a road from the wharf to the centre of the town. At the same time, a portion of the mechanics should be engaged in erecting, in the immediate vicinity of the wharf, an extensive range of sheds for the reception of goods, and a spacious building, comprising a large dormitory, for the immediate accommodation of the first body of colonists on their landing. These objects being effected, a portion of the mechanics might perhaps be employed in erecting a church and a school-house. And while these several operations are in progress, the agricultural labourers should be employed in clearing and cropping an extensive suburban farm, which the Company might judiciously cause to be stocked with the best breeds of cattle and sheep from the Austral;an Colonies. After sufficient time has elapsed for the proximate completion of these important operations, some of them, the first body of colonists, consisting o f a due proportion of capitalists and labourers, should be dispatched from this country. Under these arrangements, the new settlement will present a field for the immediate commencement of productive industry. The impediments to early pro. gress which occurred in the first experimental Colonies will be moved ; the labour and cost of lauding: and conveying the goods of the settlers will be abridged ; the settlers, on their arrival, will not be exposed to hardship and privation ; they will be placed at once upon their locations, and will be enabled to purchase at moderate prices the seed and stock previously pro vided by the Company. The capital which ought to be devoted to immediate cultivation will not be ex ported for the purchase of provisions. The settlement Nvill be made, from the first, an appropriate residence for a civilised community. • MODE OF PROCEEDING. I. It is proposed that the Company select 100,600 acres of land for the settlement. 11. Of the 100,600 acres thus selected, 600 acres may be divided into 1,600 town sections of a quarter of an acre each ; 20,000 acres may be divided into 1,000 suburban sections of 20 acres each ; and 80,000 acres into 1,000 rural sections of 80 acres each. N.B. The area of the town is proposed to be reduced from 1,000 acres to 600, because in the first settlement the larger area has been found to occasion inconvenient expansion and distance. Of the 600 acres, 200 will be reserved for streets, roads, wharfs, squares, and public buildings and works. The re maining 400 acres will be divided into 1,600 sections of a quarter of an acre each. A section of a quarter of an acre in a town of 600 acres may not be less valuable than a town section of one acre in a town of equal population extended over 1,000 acres. Suburban sections are suggested as affording the prospect of a rapid increase in value from proximity to the town. 111. The lands of the settlement may be distri buted into 1,600 allotments; namely, into 1,000 allotments, consisting each of one town section, one suburban section, and one rural section; and into 600 allotments, consisting .each of one town section. IV. The Company should offer for sale in this country, at the price of 125/. each, the 1,000 allot ments, consisting each of a town, a suburban, and a rural section. V. In awarding the first -named 1,000 allotments to purchasers the priority of c h oice should be deter mined by fot. The remaining 600 allotments, con sisting each of one town section, should be offered for sale at the price of 251. each. Provision should be made to enable purchasers to c h oose consecut i ve num bers, so as to hold two or more adjoining sections if they desire them. VI. The sum of 140,0001., to be received by the Company for the 1,600 allotments offered for sale, may be appropriated as follows : First, The Company might retain, f or de fraying expenses not otherwise chargeable, for guarding against unforeseen difficulties, and for its commission upon the transaction... £40,000 Secondly, The remaining 100,0001. should be primarily charged with the ex penses of surveys and management; after defraying, which, the residue to be thus applied, viz.:— One-half to emigration ; one half to public works, such as roads, wharfs, Midges, and buildings, for the reception of the first emigrants ............... 100,000 T0ta1............ £140,000 By this arrangement, after setting aside an ade quate sum for the Company's expenses and remune ration, the large fund of 100,0001. will be employed in defraying the expense of the surveys and manage ment, in sending out labour to the colony, and in effecting those improvements by which labour is abridged.beneficial to Thisthe capitalistarrangementwho employs labour, th an will be found more pand atosfadlees to emigration,votingalarger as was done in th e formerportion of the proceeds o f th e settlements founded by the Company.

"He by no means wishes to give an exaggerated importance to an undertaking' purely commercial in its nature ; but he will be permitted to remark that the establishment of a bank in Spain is a different thing from the establishment of a bank in countries where these institutions are common. In these latter countries the establishment of a bank would be simply adding to the number of those already in existence; but here in Spain th e f oun di ng • o f a b an k would b the proof of that confidence, the absence of which has been thq great evil of Spain.

On Saturday evening, at half-past six o'clock, a Jury of the inhabitants of Knightsbridge and Ken sington were empannelled before Mr. Higgs, Deputy Coroner for Westminster, at the Half-way House Inn, on the Kensington-road, to inquire into the death of Mr. George Colebatch, jun., silk broker in the City, residing at No. 1, Upper Kensington-gore, who was found in bed in a dying state, with a pistol• shot wound in the head, on the morning of Friday last. The Jury having viewed the body, which was lying at the residence of the deceased's father, the following evidence was adduced : Mr. Edgar Barker deposed that he was a surgeon, and was in partnership with Mr. Loader, in the Edg ware-road. Mr. Loader was a relative of the de ceased, and had attended the family for ,years. Mr. Loader, who was at present out of town, had attended the deceased about six months ago for an at tack of insanity. It was an attack of delirium tremens, a particular form of insanity, under which the unfortu nate patients are subject tofurious paroxysms. Witness saw deceased when he was in a state of convalescence about four months ago. Deceased, during the attack, required personal restraint. From that attack the defendant got apparently quite free, and resumed his ordinary occupation in the City, and had not been under medical treatment since that period, although he believed deceased had since laboured under some singularities of mind. On the morning of Friday last the mother of the deceased came to witness's house in a flv, about half-past nine o'clock, and told him that she - had found the deceased that morning lying in bed, covered with blood, with a pistol lying by his side, and that she had immediately got into a fly to apprise him of it. Witness instantly returned with her, and reached the house in about three-quarters of an hour after the discovery. On entering the bed room witness found the deceased in the state that had been described to him by Mrs. Colebatch. He was covered with blood, and was sensible, but inco herent. He was about to . examine the source of the bleeding, when he found a small pistol-shot wound (as it appeared to him to be) at the deceased's right ear.--(The pistol was produced—a very small pocket pistol, not above four inches long.) Witness believes it to be the same that he saw lying on the bed. The hammer was down, and it appeared as if recently discharged. Witness asked the deceased how it had, happened, but deceased was too incoherent to give any account. Witness, findin g that to be the case sent to Dr. Phelps's Lunatic Asylum at Kensington for one of the keepers, who had attended deceased before, who came, and witness, having done every thing for the deceased to make him as comfortable as his condition would allow, left the deceased with his mother. No one was in the house when deceased was first found but his mother and the female servants. By . the Foreman—Did not seek to trace the ball, and had no doubt but that it was in deceased's skull a t that moment. Two hours after witness left de ceased a fresh attack of hcemorrhage occurred,' and he rapidly sunk until he died. Witness's opinion was, that it was the deceased's own - act, and that at the time he was in a state of insanity. He thought the ball had penetrated to the centre of the skull. Some of the Jury said, in their opinion, in a case of such emergency, a medical man residing close to the spot ought to have been fetched, instead of wait ing to send such a distance. Elizabeth Markham deposed that she lived in the service of the father of the deceased, who resided at No. 1, Upper Kensington-gore. She had known the deceased, who was twenty-five years of age, from his childhood. He was a silk broker. During the last three or four days he had looked moodily. He had been to the City on the day previous to his death, and dined with his mother alone. He was then moody, and scarcely spoke. He went to bed that night about ten o'clock, his usual hour. On Friday morning, about half-past eight o'clock, his mother, not hearing the deceased up, _went to his room. She, however, immediately returned down stairs, and told witness to go up with her. Witness did so, and found deceased as has been described. Witness stayed with deceased while Mrs. Colebatch got the fly and went for the doctor. While she was gone, witness had great difficulty in keeping the deceased in bed. He wanted to get; up and go to town. By the CORONER—Deceased was always sober in his habits, and generally took nothing but water. He died about three o'clock the same afternoon. Mr. Barker came but once before deceased died. Mr. Cole batch, sen., was in town on Thursday. He did not re turn home at night. He was not fetched on Friday until after deceased was dead. He had no conversation with the deceased as to his shooting himself. The COLONER here put it to the Jury whether they c- 1 - , 2. it necessary to hams the feelings of M rs. Colebatch by examining her. The Jury co/Adored they had had sufficient cvi.. dente before them to warrant them in returning a ver diet of--Insanity. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

CARTER.—Another accident occurred to Mr. Carter, the rival of Van Am burgh, on Tuesday evening, which has incapacitated him from appearing on the succeeding nights at the English Opera House. In the piece called " The Lion King" Mr Carter had to encounter a lion and other anirnalscon lined in a cage. On Tuesday night, on Mr. Carter en tering the cage, the lord of the forest made a sudden spring, and before M r . C arter h a d t i me to prevent him, seized him by the hand with his teeth. Mr. Carter, al though his hand was being severely lacerated by the animal, commenced striking him with all his might with the butt end of a whip which he held in the other hand. The audienee applauded most vociferously, little thinking that it was a combat in reality. Mr. Carter continued to deal heavy blows or. the infuriated animal, who at the end took shelter in one corner of the cage. The scene was dropped, and Mr. Carter having bound a handkerchief round his hand, which was much lacerated, left the cage, the animal growling at him as he went out. He was attended to by Mr. Braine, a surgeon. This is the second time Mr. Carter has been bitten by the same animal within the last week. The lion has only been in Mr. Carter's possession about three months, and is between three and four years of age. ATTEMPT TO MURDER A TRADESMAN'S SON IN HOLBORN.—The following daring and murderous attack was made on the son of Mr. William Howell, china and glass warehouseman, of Holborn Hill, a boy of 11 years old :—On Friday, about 1 o'clock, he was minding the shop, when a young man entered with a mug in his hand. and asked him to drink a drop of beer, which he did, a small quantity, not liking it ' • the man then left the shop, and went a cross th e roa d , and joined another man. His sister having providentially returned (not having left him alone more than 10 minutes) when he fell down in the shop among the goods, but got up again and went to the door, when he became violently sick awl insensible. The policeman on the beat carried him home to Mr. Howell's house in Stonecutter-street, when he and others thought the boy dead. Mr. 13u11in, the surgeon, imme diately came, who considered the boy in a dangerous state, and administered remedies to bring off his stomach what he had taken, and he remained insensible for two or three hours. He is now out of danger, but the doctor has no doubt that laudanum was given to the boy, and had he not been sick when his sister returned, he would have been a corpse, the object of the party no doubt being to rob the shop. NEW GOVERNOR OF GIBRALTAR.—GeneraI Sir Robert Wilson has been appointed Governor of Gibral• tar, in succession to Sir Alexander Woodford, K.C.8., whose term of service is expired.

The Lives of the Queens of England, as they have recently been brought before the public by the pen of this lady, have certainly created a taste for historical reading among a large class for whom history, as it seemed, had previously but few attractions. This effect, however, is nothing more than might be ex pected, from a reference to the pages of this interesting work, which are unusually rich with amusing details and curious facts, such as might be sought for in vain in our ordinary text-books of English history—Goldsmith, Hume, and Smollett. All, indeed, who are desirous of making themselves thoroughly acquainted with the pro gress of events, and the changes in manners in this country, must seek the information they desire in Miss Strickland's delightful volumes, without which, it is but doing justice to her valuable and carefully written work to say, that no English historical library can be here after considered perfect. A NEW MODE OF RAISING THE WIND.—The fol lowing humorous and extraordinary anecdote, illustra tive of the degrading extent to which even Lords and M.P.'s will sometimes go to achieve pecuniary ends, is daily furnishing conversational food for the gossips at the \Vest-end :—Some short time since a scion of nobi lity, who recently acquired some notoriety in Paris, being desperately pushed for a " cool" couple of hundred pounds, and having ineffectually tried every probable source to obtain it, at last, as a Bernier resort, applied to his Noble parent (a Gallant Marquis) for the trifling ac commodation; trifling, however, as the sum may appear, the heroic M.P. is reported to have met with a plump, and not very courteous negative to his application. Dis appointed and enraged at the refusal, and the peremptory tone in which it was conveyed, he, as a brave son of Nep tune, hit upon, and, Proteus-like, carried into execution, the following eccentric stratagem to effect his purpose:— It happened that at a crossing opposite the window of the room in which slept the Noble Marquis, his father, a ment dican sweeper was in the habit of taking his stand in pursuit of his daily avocation. To this " knight of the broom' he hero repaired, and for a small sum bought him off his' lifehold," or crossing for a day ; and, on the following morning, about the hour the Marquis usually rose, the distinguished scion, disguised as a beggar, with a bran new broom, was seen industriously employed in sweep ing clouds of dust towards the Gallant Marquis's window. On looking out, the Noble Marquis, to his utter asto nishment, beheld a fresh and ill-conducted sweeper, and incensed at the rude manner in which he was carrying on his operations, dispatched a servant to know the cause. The servant having, in the person of the mendacious sweeper, discovered Lord returned in breathless haste to his master, and informed him that it was his own son who was thus occupied in kicking up such a dust ! " Oh, hang him," said the noble and brave vete ran, " that is done to raise the wind, (writing) here, take this to him—a cheque—tell him to be off and change his rags—his morals he never can." The command was no sooner given than obeyed, and the beggar quitted his post of honour and retreated in double quick time, highly gratified, however, with his new mode of " raising the wind."—Sunday Paper. A letter from Galatz, in Moldavia, which we find in the Courrier Francais, gives the following narrative : —" The Count •de L., coming from Russia b3rthe hotel Danube, took up his residenco in this town at an kept by a species of Boyard, named Ventura. The Count had just baffled an attempt by th e Russian Cabi net _ to complete an important negotiation with one of the Indian Governments. In the evening of J uly 2 he was assailed in the house itself by about twenty men armed with sticks and staves. He made a bold and obstinate resistance, but, having no other means of defence than a slight cane, ho was overcome by numbers,. and cruelly maltreated. At last he got clear of his assailants, and made his way to the house 9f the Austrian Consul, M. Hubert, where he was confined twenty days by the in juries be had received. A complaint was laid before the French Consul at Galatz, who transmitted it to the Consul at Yassy. At length an order came from the Moldavian Government to the Governor at Galatz to ad minister due punishment to the offenders ; but he con fined himself to giving seven lashes with a whip to only one of them, though all wer e equally guilty of the base and cowardly attack, which m i ght have ended in murder. The Count, dissatisfied with thi s i nadequate satisfaction, has removed to Constantinople, to require interference the-i Baron de Bourque ney, who, it s to be hoped, will act on this occasion as the British Ambassador did in the ease of Mr. Churchill." STATE OF THE DISTRICT.—There is little change in the state of affairs in Manchester with reference to the turn-out. A few weavers have returned to work in different establishments • but they have been so much assaulted and annoyed by the turn-outs, that their num bers have increased very slowly, and the great bulk of the hands rttpsin out. 4t sWybridge,)ovrever, vo). are • glad to say, the appearances of a speedy termination at he dispute are extremely favourable. On Thursday fast. the hands (both spinners and weavers) employed by Messrs. Harrison and Sons, returned to theiremploymenla, and their example was followed by portions of those em ployed in other establishments. The number of these was.,, considerably increased yesterday morning ; and there was' every probability that the whole, or nearly the whole, of the factories would have been at work, had not the town been invaded by a number of turn-outs from Ashton under-Lyne, who entered Stalybridge for the purpose of driving out the hands who had returned to their employ ment. To some extent, we believe, this purpose was answered ; for, though none were forcibly driven from, their employment, a considerable number left the mills: through a feast of ill-treatment, and many others were de terred from going in. In consequence of the irruption of the- Ashton men, the military and special constables were called out, and the intruders were speedily driven from, the town, which remained quiet during the rest of the day ; but to what extent those who had been frightenedl from their work afterwards returned to it, we are not. sufficiently informed. The general opinion, however, seems to be, that the endurance of the turn-outs is at length exhausted ; and that, unless something very un foreseen should occur, the whole of the mills at Staly bridge, wh ere t hi s unparalleled turn oat commenced, will be in full work on Monday next ; and that, we imagine, will decide the struggle in all other places.—Manchester Guardian. NATIONAL GALLERY.—The Gallery was closed on Saturday for the usual vacation of six weeks. Two va luable and interesting additions have just been made to the collection of pictures: these are " The Murder of the Innocents," by Raphael, properly speaking, a cartoon: it is placed at the top or the staircase, beside the cartoons of Agostini Carracci, the Triumph of Galatea, and the Ce phalus and Aurora. The cartoon by Raphael was oriel . - nally presented by P. H oare , E sq., to the trustees of the- Foundling Hospital; they however, hare found it a more appropriate " abiding place" in the National Gallery. By the will of Mr. Hoare, the trustees of the Hospital could not sell the cartoon; they have therefore lent it, but the loan is as good as a gift. This cartoon is framed, and placed', behind two large sheets of plate glass. The other addi tion is a fine portrait of the late Sir D. 'Wilkie, painted and presented by Mr. Phillips, the academician. This por• trait is placed over " The Village estival" of Sir David. He is drawn with a cloak gracefully thrown over his shoulders, and he holds in his right hand a crayon and paper. During the season, which terminated on Saturday, there has been an unprecedentedly great number of visitors to the Gallery. There are now between 300 and 400 prisoners in, Whitecross-street Prison, 200 in the Queen's Prison, and' about 85 in the Fleet. Several alterations are shortly expected in the Queen's Prison, which has been visited 1.; twit- by the General Inspector of Prisons, by the autho rity of Sir James Graham. It is understood that there will be " four classes," the chief of which will be for persons remand e d, and who refuse to file their schedules under the -compulsory clause of the Insolvent Debtors' Act. A place with iron bars is to be erected for the latter class, and it is said that in the Bench, by a regula tion to be made, no person will be allowed more than a pint of wine a clay. The coffee-room in the prison is to be pulled down, and all extravagance prevented. The rules are shortly expected to be issued. Lord George William Loftus, now a prisoner in the Fleet, applied a few days ago to the Magistrates at Guildhall for a peace warrant against Major Willan, and a gentleman named Tolfrey, both also in the Fleet. Lord Loftus stated in his application that on the 6th instant he answered a knock at his door, when he saw Tolfrey, who said to him, " I'll settle with you." The, same person came on the second visit • Major Wilkie was with him, and th e y b ot h used die same phrase that Tolfrey used before, viz., "I'll settle with you." His Lordship states that he considered these expressions to be threats against his life, and he told the intruders that he should appeal to the higher powers. The Major then said "If you refer the, matter to a Magistrate, I'll cane you ;" and Tolfrey said,. "If you do, I'll post you." Upon these, and other re presentations, Mr. Roe, the officer, was sent to the prison to make inquiry whether it was a case which required the intervention of a Magistrate. The result was that on Friday afternoon Sir G. Carroll and Mr. Payne went to the Fleet to hear a viva voce statement. his Lord ship repeated the same threats which he had communi cated by letter to the Justice-room, and declared that he was apprehensive of personal violence. Major Willan, in answer to a question from Sir George Carroll, said, " That by the words I'll settle with you," he alluded to a sum of money which his Lordship owed him. After a lengthened inquiry, Sir G. Carroll said, that as Lord Loftus had sworn that he was in personal fear, he should order the warrant to be lodged at the Warden's office, against Major Willan. TIIE ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE, we observe, does not mean to lie idle. It is about to dispatch lecturers into the agricultural districts, and the fall of prices, which they will no doubt explain, will make the farmers their will ing auditors. It has also advertised a series of prizes for the best essays on the Corn. laws as they affect the condition of the working farmers and agricultural la • bourers. This is an excellent subject. • FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.--01 Friday, a lengthened inquiry took place at the London Hospital, Mile-end-road, before Mr. Baker, the Coroner, into the cause of the death of James Start, aged 36, who expired in that institution on Wed nesday last, from the effects of injuries he received on the Eastern Counties Railway. 'From the evidence of Robert Roston and William Lawrence, the former a fireman and the latter an engine -driver on the Eastern Counties Railway, it appeared that at an early hour of the morning of the 17th of last month the deceased, who was placed near the Shoreditch terminus, and4ose duty it was to unhook a chain which connected the ballast waggons with the engine, had, from mere bravado, and though cautioned of the danger of doing so, got on the wrong side of the chain, and the consequence was, that he got entangled in the chain, was thrown down before the ballast train, and received serious injuries on his left foot, his head, and right hand. He was immediately conveyed to the hospital, where every attention had been paid to him by Mr. Scott and other medical officers until the time of his death, which took place on Wednesday last. While in the hospital, the deceased had frequently acknowledged that no person was to blame in the unfor tunate occurrence but himself ; that he had unhooked the chain the wrong way before, and was cautioned of the danger of his doing so, and the affair was accidental. After hearing evidence to the above effect, the Jury ex pressed themselves perfectly satisfied that the deceased, who had forfeited his life to his temerity, was alone to blame in the transaction, and returned a verdict of " Ac cidental death." SUDDEN DEATHS.—On Friday:Ur. Baker held three inquests on the bodies of persons who had died suddenly. Those on the bodies of John Bedworth, aged 75, and Mary Hathorway, aged 28, were at the Marquis Wel lington, Upper Cornwall -street, St. George's in the East. In the first case it appeared that the deceased had served in Egypt and India as a soldier, and had been for some time past residing with his son-in-law, at No. 31, Corn wall-street. On Tuesday morning last his son-in-law left him in his room from all appearances in his usual health, and when he came back, in about two hours, he found him in a state of stupor and breathing heavily. He died at seven o'clock the next morning, without hav ing rallied. In the next case, it was proved by deceased's father, a teacher of languages, that for the last eight years she had been suffering from disease. She vomited a quantity of blood on Tuesday morning last, and in four hours died. The third inquest was held at the White Bear, Lambeth-street, on the body of Anne Colman, aged 57. Deceased usually enjoyed good health, with the exception of slight cough. She was found ill in bed on Tuesday night, and lingered until eleven o'clock next morning, when she died. Mr. Liddle, surgeon, was sent fir. He said he thought the cause of death was apo plexy. Verdict, is all these cases, " Natural Death. — On Friday two inquests were taken before Mr. Wakley, at the Elephant and Castle, King's-road, on the bodies of Sarah Jennings, aged 18, and John Rogers, aged 54, inmates of St. Pancras workhouse. The former, it ap peared, had been two years in the house, and had fre quently complained of her throat, but was obstinate, and would not have advice. On Tuesday evening she was cheerful and in good spirits, but about half-past two o'clock on Wednesday morning she awoke her next bed fellow and got out of bed, saing, " I have got up." She then fell into the arms of the witness, struggled very was a sitting hard, and expired. In the second case , it appeared the iaia:;:rl and he mor ning, f fell forward n rose. a deceased was a carpenter, and subject to palpitation of the heart. He had b 4" in the Thursday on s a f t b o en sp ch ea i k n the to yard oaeo f the l T paupers, and expired. In both cases medical assistance was promptly rendered, and the Jury returned verdicts of " Natural Death." SKYLIGHT.—On Friday F AT AL FALL THROUGH A evening Mr. Higgs held an inquest at the Charing-cross Ilospital, on view of the body of Charles Halsey, aged 70. It appeared from the evidence that deceased was a carpenter, residing at 6, New Exchaage•court, Strand, and was employed to keep i n repair all the houses of the court in which he lived. On Thursday afternoon last, about four o'clock, he ascended the roof of the house No. 3, for the purpose of repairing the wood• work of a skylight, when, while so engaged, his foot slipped, and he fell through the skylight to the bottom of a well-staircase, a height of about 40 feet. Several persons who heard the noise occasioned by the fall hastened to the spot, and found decsed lying at the bottom of the stairs in a state of insensibi lity. He was immediately conveyed to the Charing•• cross Hospital, where he died within two hours after wards. Strange to say, deceased received no violent in jury by the fall, but his death was occasioned solely by the.shock he had received, and which proved fatal itl consequence of his old age. Verdict—Accidental Death, The Chinese Collection at St. George's place, Hyde Park, still continues to attract great numbers of persons who, from the thin state of the metropolis, can, with greater ease, enjoy a full inspection of the numberless objects included in the exhibition, which is by far the largest and grandest that has ever before appeared. Every costume in all ranks of life, and every feature illustrative of the customs and manners of the Chinese, are here illustrated with the greatest possible faithfulness. ANECDOTE BY JOHN HOCKINGS, THE " BRUIIMA. GEN BLACKSMITH."—Hockings, "the Birmingham black smith," in a lecture at Leicester, nrged the ladies to be ardent advocates of teetotalism ; the men would then be sure to " sign the pledge." He was one day, he said, a t a scientific lecture, when the lecturer was dilating upon the attractive powers of the magnet—defying any one to show or name anything which could surpass them ; he (Hockings) accepted the challenge, much to the lecturer's surprise, when he told him that woman was the Magnet of Magnets—for if the loadstone on the table could attract a piece of iron for a foot or two, there was a young woman who, when he was -a young Mali, tied to attract him thirteen miles every Sunday so have a chat with her. .
