The French General at this place was opposed to the shifting of the Egyptians, but has had to yield to it, and is now receiving reinforcements of French troops. " When we landed the first batch at Trobizonde Kars had already been reduced ; and, as neither house-room nor provisions abound at Trebizonde, no ens profits by this movement ; indeed, the Pasha of Trebizoude turned a great number of Christians out of their houses, the Ar menian Bishop among them, to make room for the Egyptians. " I spoke to Ahmed Pasha, of Eupatoria, on this heart less and dangerous measure, and he told me that he did not approve the shifting of the troops at this season ; they ought to have been conveyed four or five mouths ago, or to have remained here until the spring. " The Pasha:spsaks French and German, is a business sia,n, and one of the few Turks of whom one takes leave with regret and esteem. He told me that the French never give bun any information, and all that he knows about the movements of the war he learns from the English, as he very rarely gets letters from Constantinople.

"Dear Agnes,--I hope the change of air and scenery has, by this time, done you good, and that you are mor e quiet an d reconc il e d t h an when I communicated to you the painful, the sorrowful, news of the death of poor dear Walter. Ab, poor fellow, I often think of him, and only wish I could have done now for him that I did while he was alive; and, I assure you, I did a very, verb great deal for him—perhaps, a great deal more than you are aware of. "I know not whether Walter told you that I had ad vanced him on the 'drawing (room) furniture 851.--of course, I was aware that some of it belonged to you, but he, poor fellow, told me that you would repay me the I ""Y—which I feel cure you will after I have told you -- and I shall have much pleasure in sending it to your orders. There was also one other item you must, if you please, rtie,ist me to—viz., 401. for a bill, which you knew well of the circumstance, and I must be excused going into particulars. This amount I should not ask you for, but Walter said if I would only take up the bill you would pay me, and I feel sure you will after all the money I have before paid. I have received bills amount- , ing to 2001., which, I suppose, must ho paid by some one. What say you to this ? You can't for one single moment think but that I ought to have assistance from some one, and I crave yours, because I feel certain that poor Walter must have told you how very, very often, and on very many occasions, I had stood his friend ; and I believe I and his dear mother (except yourself) were the only friends he had on earth.

No CALENDAR AND AN EMPTY GAOL. —At the Epi phany Quarter Sessions, held at Rye, on Thursday, there were no prisoners for trial. Jessup, the chief officer, also informed us (Sussex Advertiser) that the gaol was empty. THE LATE CASE OF SUSPECTED POISONING AT DEVON poRp.--It will be recollected that Mr. John Hallett, a quack doctor at Devcnport, was last week committed for trial at the next Devon assizes, charged with man slaughter, such being the verdict of the jury who in quired into the cause of the death of Louisa Mitchell, a woman who bad long cohabited with Hallett. Informa tion has now been received of the death of Hallett him self, wbo expired in the county gaol a few days after his committal. The evidence at the inquest on the remains of the woman Mitchell failed to sustain the suspicion which previously exited that she had been poisoned, but the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter, in the belief that she had not been properly treated by Hallett during the ilineid which preceded her death. Mr. CASTLEMAIN explained his change of opinion from the coast line to the central line, and acquitted the chair man of any personal interest over that of any other shareholder in advocating the latter. The CHAIRMAN put the amendment, which was lost by a large majority, as was that of Mr. Eaglefield's. Mr. GASKELL moved, and Mr. DICKINSON seconded, on amendment that the extension should be from Dor chester to Exeter, and not from Yeovil to Exeter, which was negatived A third amendment wa7 moved, but lost, and the original resolution carried, confirming the central line. A poll was granted. The meeting then separated. "Three new Senators," says the Siccle, " are shortly, it is said, to be named. The Duke de Maille, the Duke da 17almy, and the Marquis de Bethisy ire mentioned any the persona are to be nominated." INSURANCE COMPANIES. Dividend Amount Name of Company. per of Paid. Price. Annum.

Bower, Esq., C.E., have obtained a patent for the manufacture of paper and textile fabrics fro m th e f o ll ow i ng plants— viz., the yellow iris, or common flogger, the burdock, the coltefoot, and from the leaves and stems of red and white beet, and mangold wurtzel ; also from the stems of Swedish, Aberdeen, and other turnip bulbs. We have seen specimens of paper and millboard manufacturdd by hand from several of the foregoing plants, and of fibre from the iris or yellow flogger, which appears to have all the properties of the host flax. The iris contains a large proportion—at least 75 per cent.--of paper ma terial.—Boyle Gazette. THE RIGHT OF WAY THROUGH BARTHOLOMEW'S 110 S• PlTAL. — Yesterday, at a Court of Aldermen, it was stated that the governors of St. Bartholomew's Hospital had affixed placards on the gates notifying that persons a ould not he permitted to pass through the hospital now that the cattle market has ceased to be held in Smith field, and that the public were thereby deprived of a thoroughfare to which they had heretofore been accus tomed. Alderman Sidney said he should very much deplore if the members of that court, sitting there in their re:,resentative character as the guardians of the euhlic highways of the City, should allow an ancient way, like. the one referred to, to be stopped up on such insufficient evidence as, it seemed, had been adduced by the solicitor of the hospital. After a brief discussion, the matter was referred to the General Purposes Commit tee, with power to instruct the City solicitor to take the opinion of (masa BIRTHS. 01' A SON.
