The bills announced that the interior had been newly painted and decorated. The gilding on the panels of the boxes has been refreshed, and a dark crimson ground has been intro duced throughout the house, which gives it a warm and hand some effect. Upon the rising of the curtain the stage was presented entirely occupied by members of the company, who performed the national anthem, Miss Betts, Miss Shirreff, and Mr. Templeton singing the solos. The only novelty in the Comedy was the appearance of Mrs. H. Cramer in the part of Charlotte. The lady is evidently not deficient in e7-perience of the stage ; indeed she played with rather too much of pro fessional tact than too little, and seemed to make her points more in the routine of habit than from the impulse of feeling. However, with the present dearth of female talent in genteel comedy, and considering that Charlotte is not a favourable part for its display, Mrs. Cramer may be found an acquisition to the company. We confess that Farren's Cantwell, though marked with the unfailing stamp of the actor's most finished and artist-like study, is not to our minds comparable with many of his other performances, not altogether in itself a happy effort. The best piece of acting in the Play was decidedly the Old Lady Lambert of Mrs. C. Jones. This actress, having subdued some of the asperities of her provincial style, is becoming one of our very best, and is justly advancing in the estimation of the public. Mr. Younge and Mrs. Sloman were most accurate in Sir John and Young Lady Lambert, and Mr. Wood very sententious in Charles.' Harley's Maw worm had all its usual breadth, and was rewarded with re peated broad laughs to match, from the galleries especially. The Comedy was followed with good effect by the humours of the Manager's Farce, with which the reader is so well ac quainted as to require no farther comment. In the Opera an old favourite of the public was restored to them, and warmly welcomed. Mr. Sinclair appeared as Masaniello after his long absence in America. His voice retains all its beauty of tone and equal power, and he was heartily encored in the ballad, " My sister dear." Madame Proche Giubilei was the Fenella. Her pantomime is intelligent and her action graceful ; if her energy is sometimes a little deficient the defect seems to be purely physical. The Opera was well got up. The house, at half price was well filled in every part. The reduction of the price of admission to the upper circle of boxes, and the re gulations attendant upon it will, in all probability, if persevered in, prove alike beneficial to the lessee and the public. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1834. FRENCH PAPERS. ( From Galignani's Messenger of Tuesday.) Extract of a letter of the 24th inst. from Madrid, received by express :—" The Urban Militiamen engaged in the riot of the 17th July have been acquitted. It was at one time intended to erase their names from the roll of the corps, but this upon reflection was abandoned, as likely to produce a revolt. Yesterday this capital presented a spectacle which it has not exhibited since 1820. It will be recollected that at that period, on the formation of the National Militia, com panies of young volunteers were formed, the eldest of whom were not more than 12 years old. At Barcelona, a complete company of this juvenile force was regularly organized, and, it appears, did duty in several quarters of the town, and afforded such relief to the regular militia that it was enabled to go in pursuit of the rebels. Yesterday a troop of these young soldiers, in excellent order, with drums beating and colours flying, paraded through several of the streets of Madrid. The people on seeing this said that the same occurred at the beginning of 1820, and that it was a pre sage of the downfall of public liberty. While these chil dren were making this parade at the hour of the siesta, in the presence of the populace collected by the infernal noise which preceded them, Quesada attempted, at a review of the Urban Militia, mustered on the Puerta d'Alcala, to make his excuses to to the citizen soldiers, by praising the institution and expressing his entire accordance with it." Extract of a letter of the 25th instant from Bayonne : According to the reports of the Carlists, which are spread with profusion at Bayonne, Zumalacarregui is at present engaged in organizing the insurrection in that part of Na varre which is called the Rivera (the Plain), and the Pre tender himself has been put in possession of 1,900 or 1,500 horses, which will enable him to act through the winter be yond the mountains. These rumours are, however, contra dicted by letters from the head-quarters of Don Carlos, which have been seized upon a captured spy, who was im mediately shot by order of General Espartero. These let ters, which have, it is said, been forwarded to General Ha rispe, confess that a great degree of discontent prevails in the ranks of the insurgents, and that Zumalacarregui, in order to inspire them with terror, has sent the chief, Guibelalde, to be tried before a court-martial for refusing to obey him. P.S.—A report has this moment reached us, that Zabala, who has been prowling about the environs of Bilboa, has entered the town, which had become deserted on account of the cholera, and laid the partisans of Isabella 11. under contribution. We believe that such an occurrence may take place, but we do not believe that it has yet been ac complished. Besides, General Espartero is not far from Bilboa with 3,000 men, and the Carlists would not be suf fered to remain even if they did enter the town." The Government of Berne received on the 25th ult. a new note from the Austrian Ambassador, M. de Bombelles, calling upon it to issue an order for all the Austrians at present residing in the canton to quit it within 10 days. The Executive Council replied, that the Austrian Minister should apply to the Directory of the Republic. The Council also wrote to the Directory, saying that the can tonal Governments could not take upon themselves to play the part of Austrian Prefects, and that M. de Bombelles might publish his injunctions himself, without the interven tion of the Government of Berne. The Bavarian Envoy has sent a similar note, to which the same answer has been returned. The Augsburg Gazette of the 26th ult. has accounts from Bavaria, which state that letters of a recent date had arrived from Greece confirming the entire suppression of the revolt in Messenia. A letter from Patras, written by a Bavarian officer at the head of a military detachment em ployed against the bands of armed robbers in that neigh bourhood, describes the conduct of the latter as marked by unparalleled cruelty. Not content with pillaging what ever comes within their reach, they mutilate the victims of their depredation by cutting off their noses, ears, and lips. The suff erers were dreadful to behold, but this very cir cumstance would contribute to the more speedy destruc tion of the assassin banditti, inasmuch as it had the effect of rousing the desire of the troops to inflict upon them just measures of retaliation. The military are encamped near the principal holds of the robbers, in a churchyard, round which a rampart has been formed, so as to afford a tolerably secure position. It is expected they will be speedily extirpated, for a party of them has been already blocked up in a defile, and a detachment of our men was sent to summon them to deliver up their arms. Captain Axibus, who commanded, having advanced to confer with the brigand chief, the latter treacherously plunged his sword into the body of the Captain, who immediately fell. Lieutenant Mauromichaelis, without hesitation, ordered his men to fire a volley upon the robbers, and then to charge them with the bayonet, which was immediately done in gal lant style, and such as had escaped the bullets were instantly cut to pieces. The slaughter was horrible to behold. The men returned laden with booty, and brought in the wives and children of the slain. We have had several wounded, al though the number of killed has been comparatively trifling. Lieutenant Mauromichaelis was shot in two places. The Ist and 3d battalions have received orders to occupy the Turkish frontier. " About 14 days ago," adds the writer, " I was ordered to proceed to the bridge over the Sperchios with 50 men, in order to act against the banditti in that neighbourhood. VVe found, on our arrival, about 60 of them, who seemed disposed to contest with us the occupa tion of the point, but we fired upon them, and they quickly took to their heels, leaving us a large quantity of arms and other effects. A short time previously I was ordered to proceed with 40 men for the purpose of seizing one of their chiefs, Costa Balla, who with his men had taken refuge in a strong tower. As we were in the act of battering in the gates, we received a warm discharge of musketry, but we succeeded in effecting our entrance ; we captured the chief with 15 of his men. Three of the remainder were killed at the point of the bayonet, and eight were shot in attempting to fly. The prisoners were immediately tried by a drum head court-martial, and executed. A remarkably fine young woman, belonging to the banditti was, on a recent occasion, taken in arms fighting most heroically with her companions. She is now in prison awaiting her trial." A letter of the 24th ult. from Mentz has the following : In conformity to the treaty, which prescribes that the places of Governor and Commandant of the Federal for tress of Mentz shall be occupied, during the period of five veers, by persons alternately appointed by Austria and * Prussia, the latter Power has appointed Prince William, brother to the King of Prussia, to be Governor, and Lieut.- General Baron Von Muffling to be Deputy-Governor. On the part of Austria, Major-General Baron Piret de Bikain has been appointed Commandant. The late Austrian Go vernor, Count de Mensdorff, quitted Mentz immediately after having resigned his functions into the hands of his successor, Prince William." A letter from Munich states, that the Count de Vau dreuil, French Minister at the Court of Bavaria, is danger ously indisposed. Extract of a letter from Oran, dated the 17th ult.:— " I have no news to send you but accounts of duels. This rage for cutting one another's throats on the most frivolous pretences is gaining upon all classes. I will, however, only no tice those which have had fatal results. It is quite enough to record the names of the victims of those deplorable conflicts between persons who merited a better fate, who have escaped the bullets of the enemy to fall by one from the hand of a comrade or a friend. The Chef d'Escadron Torigny has been mortally wounded in an encounter with M. Laguerre, a surgeon attached to the hospital of Mostaganem. A Polish Captain has been killed in a combat with the Aide de-Camp of Major-General Sauzet. We can only obtain provisions at distant periods. Our resources are becoming daily exhausted, and our position, in this respect, is painful. We, however, enjoy perfect peace." A letter of the 24th ult. from Toulon says—" We are now informed that the squadron will not go to any distance from this port, but will continue to cruise about, for the purpose of instructing the young sailors in their duty. No orders have been received to suspend the fitting out of the Montebello and Scipion for sea, and the levy of sailors is still continued in all the ports." The Courrier Francais announces, that within the last two days the commerce of Paris has been greatly agitated by the failure of three first-rate commission-houses. The amount of their debts is said to be nearly 3,000,000 f. In consequence of these disasters, which must have an effect on many secondary firms, the bankers in the habit of dis counting commercial bills have very much circumscribed their discounts, and a complete crisis is expected at the end of the year. The panic is come to such a pitch, that several of the first banking-houses have almost entirely re fused to make any advances upon bills which fall due in December. The Journal de Tissus says on this subject— " The whole of the merchants in the quarter of the Rue du Sentier and the Rue du Gros Chenet have for the last two days been seriously occupied with the failure of a house which carried on a very extensive business with England and America. Its debts in Paris amount in all to 1,000,000 f., and in the quarters above-mentioned to 300,000 f. One house alone, in the Rue du Sentier, dealing in painted cloth, is a creditor for 75,000 f. The rest of the sufferers in Paris are divided between the quarter of the Rue des Bourdon nais and th e Rue St. Denis. The whole amount owing by this house is said to be not less than 2,000,000 f., one half of which is due at St. Etienne and Lyons. It is at the same time reported that its assets are next to nothing in compa rison to its debts." BounsE, TUESDAY, Sept. 30.—The French Routes have again improved ; the three per Cents. are at this moment 77f. 10c. to 15c.

Little Red Rover took the lead, and for about three miles made all the play, the other three lying close up ; at the turn of the lands he gave way, and the others ran to gether till near the Duke's Stand, where Dissolution gave up; f. by Oscar and Chantilly kept company a few strides farther, and then the latter was beaten ; f. by Oscar continued in front to the end, and won in a canter by six lengths. The Hopeful Stakes was a very pretty race ; there were two or three false starts, but the actual one was decidedly the best ever seen for so short a distance. All got off in a perfect line, and continued to the bushes, Eva, Camlet, Medea, Kate Kear ney, Waresti, and Madame d'Jeck, being most forward, Eva all the time looking a winner ; in the ropes she got away from thorn the others, amongst whom there was a regular rush at the end. Eva was first by a length, Madame d'Jeck second, and Waresti third ; behind there were Kate Kearney, Camlet, and Medea ; the others were pretty well up, with the exception of Catalina, Mohair, and The Brigand, who were beaten off.

A great deal of temporary excitement was created yesterday afternoon by the announcement that the Governorship of the Bank of England had become vacant, from the circumstance of Mr. Raikes, the late Governor having disqualified himself this morning. We further regret that it is our duty to state that this resignation was occasioned by the failure of the firm of Messrs. W. and T. Raikes and Co. ' and is attributed to have resulted from speculations on the Stock Exchange ; but we have the satisfaction to state that this failure is not of any importance whatever, and that beyond the mere holding of the great official situation of Governor to the Bank of England, it has been but a misfortune of every day occurrence. In the monetary circles this event has been anticipated for some time ; in consequence, the engagements of the firm are not of any great amount, being chiefly confined to a small circle. After disqualifying himself for holding so prominent a situa tion in the first monetary Corporation in the world, we under stand that Mr. Raikes left town for the Continent pro tern pore; but we have been informed, without pledging ourselves to the fact, that steps will be shortly taken to arrange the af fairs of the firm. After relating this untoward event, which we feel we are warranted to do, for the sake of the public wel fare, and in order to prevent any misconception, we must ex press our confidence, which is derived from the best sources, that our predictions of Wednesday with regard to improve ments in the money market shortly, are more than likely to be fulfilled. (From the Times.) It transpired in the city late this (Wednesday) afternoon that Mr. Raikes, the Governor of the Bank of England, had resigned, or, which amounts to the same thing, that he had intimated to his colleagues an intention to disqualify, which of course he was permitted to do, though, as the Bank books still remain shut for the dividend, it could not be done in the regular way by the sale of the stock. The incident was so wholly unexpected, no suspicion of the sort having previously existed, that it caused great alarm for the moment, both on the Exchange and in the money-market, the general inference from it being that Mr. Raikes was deeply engaged in specula tion, or involved in commercial difficulties. All this was po sitively known, however, during the hours of business was the fact of such disqualification having taken place. It subse quently became known that the firm of W. and T. Raikes and Co., of which the Gevernor of the Bank is a partner, had sus pended payment ; but not, it is supposed, to any very consi derable amount, as the transactions of the house, although a very old and highly respectable one, had been very limited for some time past. The causes which have involved the firm in its present difficulties are as yet but imper fectly known, but, relating as they do to a gentleman hold ing so high and important an office, there has necessarily been much conjecture afloat on the subject. The imputa tion of having engaged in speculative transactions has been made, as seldom fails to be the case on such occasions, but we are assured that it is without foundation. One of the first steps of the Bank Direction will necessarily be, and it is expected to take place to-morrow, that of declaring the chair vacant, when it will devolve in regular course on Mr. Patteson, at present Deputy-Governor. Mr. William Ward, lately Mem ber for the City, is next in succession for the Vice-Chair. Among Mr. Raikes's colleagues in the Bank parlour the event has caused, as might be anticipated, infinite regret and morti fication. The official return of the Bank averages, given in the Ga zette of yesterday (Tuesday), announces a further decline in the stock of bullion, and as there has occurred since the com mencement of the year, with very slight exceptions, a gradual decline in the averages of bullion, it necessarily follows that the actual amount in the coffers of the Bank must be much lower than the sum last returned. Thus the average amount of bullion in the Bank, from the Ist of July to the 23d of Sep tember, is set down at 7,695,0001., but the real stock is sup posed not to exceed 6,500,0001., which is a small amount to meet liabilities, consisting of circulation and deposits, extend ing to 33,830,000/. In January last, the average of bullion amounted to 9,948,000/. ; in February, 9,954,000/. ; in March, 9,829,000/. ; in April, 9,431,000/. ; in May, 8,884,000/. ; in June, 8,645,000/. ; in July, 8,598,000/. ; and at the end of August it only amounted to 8,272,000/.

Yesterday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, a lady named Dellar, residing in Hunter-street, Brunswick square, was passing along Perrin-street, Copenhagen-fields, accompanied by her daughter, a child about six years of age, when, in passing under the scaffolding of a house undergoing external repair, a brick was shaken off the scaffolding by one of the workman descending the ladder, and in falling struck Miss Dellar a violent blow on the left side of the head, cut ting through a straw bonnet, and making a deep incision down the left cheek. After receiving such assistance as could be rendered on the spot, the child was conveyed home, where she fell into a state of stupor, from which it was found impos sible to arouse her, and it is apprehended th a t s h e h as rece i v ed a violent concussion of the brain.

COACH UPSET.--.on Wednesday morning, as one of the Lanark stage coaches, heavily laden with passengers, was leaving that town at a rapid pace for Glasgow, one of the wheels came off, which in a moment brought the coach to the ground. The whole of the passengers were more or less hurt, but all except one were able to proceed in other vehicles, Edinburgh Evening Courant. THE LONDON UNIVERSITY.—A very numerous meeting of the proprietors of shares in this institution, as well as of the students, took place yesterday, to hear the introduc tory lecture on the opening of the academic session for the present year. The great theatre of the University was m uc h crowded. Dr. Lindley, the Professor of Botany, was appoint ed to deliver the lecture, and soon after 2 o'clock, the profes sors and officers of the University having entered the theatre, the learned gentleman opened the session. Dr. Lindley re ferred to the favourable prospects of the University on the opening of the present session, and proceeded with his lecture on the importance of the knowledge of botany. The lecture was received with much attention, and Dr. Lindley was much cheered at its close. The north hospital is proceeding towards completion, but in consequence of the union among the build ers, it has been much delayed. The Council of the University expect it will be ready to receive patients by the Ist of No_ vember. MASTER AND OPERATIVE PAINTERS.--0 11 Tuesday night a deputation from the Operative Painters' Union met a deputation from the master painters, who are anxious that a good understanding between the masters and men should exist, to take into consideration the best means by which the differences which have so long existed between them might be now terminated. The meeting was held at the Queen's-arms, Red Lion-square. Mr. Robertson, a respect able master painter, was called to the chair. Several articles relating to the wages of journeymen, the number of hours they shall work each day, &c., they were unanimously agreed to. A resolution " That the masters do form themselves into a so ciety to act in union with the men, subscribing or otherwise raising the means to establish a fund to effect a gradual but total abolition of the building monopoly," was also adopted ; after which the meeting separated. Both masters and men anticipate the best effects from this interview. MISS ZOUCH.—Miss Zouch, cousin of the Earl Lonsdale, who a few years ago rendered herself so notorious by the breaking off her marriage at the altar at St. George's Hanover-square, with Mr. Woodin,_ a young gentleman of large property, is a candidate for the situation of matron, at present vacant, at St. George's Hospital. The situation is said to he worth 3001. per annum.

FIRE AT HAMMERSMITH.—About one o'clock yesterday morning the house of Mrs. D ur h a m, grocer and cbeesemonger, of Queen-street, Hammersmith, was disco vered to be in flames by the policeman on duty. An alarm was instantly given, and the parish engine was quickly on the spot, but from its imperfect state, and the want of a proper supply of water, the fire could not be efficiently checked. The conflagration continued for nearly three hours, and Mrs. Durham's house, as well as the two houses adjoining, were destroyed, and nearly the whole of the stock and furniture were consumed. A melancholy accident happened to Mrs. Durham in her attempt to rescue from the flames some money that was placed in a cupboard on the first floor. She unfor tunately remained in her bed-room until it was too late to es cape by the staircase, and she threw herself out of the first floor window into the street, whence she was taken up in an almost senseless state. INTELLECTUAL STATE OF RUSSIA.—The fol information may interest many of ou r rea d ers : —Th e num ber of journals which at present issue from the Russian press is 73; and of these the Northern B ee an d the Patriot enjoy t h e most extensive circulation. They are written in no less than 12 different languages. The number of elementary schools is 1,411. They are frequented by 70,000 pupils. So that on a comparison of the total number . of child ren capa bl e o f instruc tion in the Russian dominions with those who are actually educated, there does not appear to be more than one in 367 whose mind is even superficially culti vate d . Th ere are some universities in Russia, at which 3,100 youths are now being educated, under the care of 300 profess ors . Th e ecc l es i ast i ca l nursery is well attended to , inasmuch as the four Academics of Theology at Kiew, St. Petersburgh, Moscow and Kasan, to gether with the 37 upper and . 18 lower se m i nar i es apper t a i n ing to the Greek Church, contain 36,000 pupils, in charge of 427 professors.

CONIMISSIONS OF LUNACY.-TWO commissions of lunacy were held a few days ago at the Swan Tavern, Wal ham-green, before Commissioners Whitmarsh, Blunt, and Murray, to inquire into the state of mind of two ladies-- namely, the Hon. Frances Roberta Rowley, and the Hon. Isabella Anne Rowley, one about 30, and the other 45 years of age. It appeared that the eldest lady had for a long time past laboured under delusions, fancying that persons were in the room, and that she frequently heard voices speaking to her. She also imagined that she was under the special pro tection of the King. Several females who had been in attend ance upon her, and also Sir George Tuthill, were examined, and proved the unsound state of her mind. The other lady, it appeared, had laboured under insanity from a very early period of life, and had in consequence been placed under ro fessional care. The Jury returned a verdict of " Insanity" in both cases. SPECULATIONS IN SUGAR.—On Thursday last Mr. Murray and Mr. Crossthwaite arrived in this town from Dublin, having landed at Sligo, from the James M'lnroy, from Demerara for the Clyde. As the accounts they brought of the refusal of the negroes to work were calculated to raise the price of colonial produce, these gentlemen bought large quantities of sugar on speculation, before they made the intel ligence public. An express was also forwarded to London, where similar speculations in colonial produce took place on Friday. The character of the intelligence received was not understood till late in the afternoon of that day. There seems, however, to be no real ground for fearing a scarcity of sugar from the asserted indisposition of the negroes to work.—Li verpool Albion. SUFFERINGS OF lI:gIGRANTS.—A few days since we mentioned the case of the Thomas Gelstone from London derry, a very old vessel, if we mistake not, the owners of which, by their horrid speculation in human flesh and human misery, must have obtained a greater sum of money by the voyage to America, than any other vessel that has entered the St. Lawrence this season. The Belsay Castle, from Sligo, is another instance of the cold-blooded avarice. When the vessel was on the banks she sprung a leak, which was not re paired for a month, because the carpenter was sick. During this time, as the gravel ballast eboaked the pumps, she was bailed by the passengers with their buckets and tin cans. The result was that the vessel got into port with famished passen gers, for their own provisions were destroyed by the water, and all had not the means to buy of the captain, who, as is not unusual with the captains of passage ships from Ireland, was enabled to grow rich on human suffering.—Montreal Dnily Advertiser. =MIR TAKING A BATH IN GEORGIA. We afterwards made a visit to the CroWn -Baths, in entering -the • hall we-.. remarked .4 large. room on the left, in which-the preorgians were playing at billiards. We were shewn into a similar apartment on the right, with an alcove on one side, and a curtain drawn in front of it, between two columns. - . In the alcove we found some chairs and a low table, or rather bench, covered with a linen sheet, where the natives undress and deposit thei r c l o the s . Having desired the attendants to treat us, in every respect as they did the Georgians, they took off our clothes ; and, after fas tening a linen girdle upon each of us, they led us to the bath rooms, which are large and vaulted. In the centre of their arched roofs are apertures for the admission of air. The baths are of an oblong square form, and from 5 to 5i- feet in depth. They are cut out of the rocks, and are filled by means of pipes fixed above them, and through which the warm sulphurated fountains continually flow. Each bath is provided with two large boards, raised about four inches from the floor, so as to accommodate two persons at a time. I was desired to descend into the bath by means of a stair, which being done, I was led out, and laid upon one of the boards mentioned, while my head rested upon a little wooden pillow. The attendant having filled a bucket with water from the bath, and having put on his right hand a glove without fingers, and made of goat's hair, washed and scrubbed over the whole body. This process lasted almost a quarter of an hour. A number of tubfulls of warm water were then dashed over me. He next took a bag, which was filled with soap suds, and emptied it on different parts of the body, while he continued a gentle friction with one hand ; a second operation, which did not terminate in less than twenty minutes, the ablutions with warm water being again repeated, he made signs for me to enter the bath, and to remain as long as I chose. As in Persia, Turkey, Egypt, and India, the attendants employ pressing, squeezing, and kneading, as it were, the surface of the body ; an operation well knowing under the appellation Champooing. Another part of the operation consists in cracking all the joints, and then standing on, and even walking over the body ; but to neither of these did I submit.

Such a luxurious bath I never before enjoyed ; and now I can easily conceive how the natives of this country should remain in it hours, nay, whole days.—Lyall's Georgia. TURNING OF AN ICEBERG. " I never shall forget the turniv of an iceberg during the dreadful gale which lasted for a month and three days." " I don't know what that means, Sir." " Why, you must know, Jacob, that the icebergs are all fresh water, and are supposed to have been detached from the land by the force of the weather and other causes. Now, although ice floats, yet it floats deep ; that is, if an iceberg is five hundred feet high above the water, it is generally six times as deep below the water,—do you understand ?" " Perfectly, Sir." " Now, Jacob, the water is much warmer than the air, and, in consequence, the ice under the water melts away much faster ; so that if`an iceberg has been some time afloat, at last the part that is below is not so heavy as that which is above ; then it turns— that is, it upsets and floats in another position." " I understand you, Sir." " Well, we were close to an iceberg, which was to windward of us ; a very tall one indeed ; and we reckoned that we should get clear of it, for we were carrying a press of sail to effect it. Still all hands were eagerly watching the iceberg, as it came down very fast before the storm. All of a sudden it blew twice as hard as be fore ; and then one of the men shouted out " Turning, turning !" and sure enough it was. There was its towering summit gradually bowing towards us, until it almost appeared as if the peak was over heads. Our fate appeared inevitable, as the whole mountain of ice was descending on the vessel, and would, of course, have crushed us into atoms. We all fell on our knees, praying mentally, and watching its awful descent ; even the man at the helm did the same, although he did not let go the spokes of the wheel. It had nearly half turned over, right for us, when the ice below being heavier on one side than the other, gave it a more slanting impetus ; and shifting the direction of its fall, it plunged into the sea about a cable's length astern of us, throwing up the water to the heavens in foam, and blinding us all with the violence with which it dashed into our faces. For a minute, the run of the waves was checked, and the sea appeared to boil and dance, throwing up peaked pointed masses of water in all di rections, one sinking, another rising ; the ship rocked and reeled as if she were drunk ; even the current of the gale was checked for a moment, and the heavy sails flapped and cleared themselves of their icy var nishing—then all was over. There was an iceberg of another shape astern of us ; the gale recommenced, the waves pressed each other on as before ; and we felt the return of the gale, awful as it was, as a reprieve."...., Jacob Faitlilitl. ANECDOTE OF DON PEDRO. When at Rio, being one night at the Opera, during the war with the Argentine Republic, a woman in deep mourning threw herself at his feet, and told him that from a state of comparative affluence she was re duced nearly, at one blow, to the most complete desti. tution ; in addition to which, she had ju s t l os t h er fa vourite son, who had be en killed in a recent battle in the Banda Oriental. With the news of his death she was also informed that a brig, in which her husband, who was at Oporto, had risked all he was worth, had been taken by one of the enemy's privateers ; and by an almost incomprehensible fatality, on the very night she received this disastrous intelligence, her house, which was not insured, was burnt to the ground, her youngest child perished in the flames, and not a single article of her property was saved. Her heart, she added, was almost broken. The Emperor, in the course of his reply, said—" We have all our trials and tribulations, in this world none are exempt ; but the sun some times shines out from behind the darkest cloud ;" then telling her he would see what could be done, desired a gentleman of the bedchamber, Senor and, if it must be told, the principal agent of his private plea sures, to give her immediately such relief as her accu mulated misfortunes entitled her to ; adding in the same breath, "Hand her whatever money you have about you." Now, it so happened that P— had been gambling in the course of the evening, and had then not less than 600 milreis in notes in his pocket ; and, by way of a joke, which lie,knew he could play off on his Majesty with impunity, he determined to obey him to the very letter, and when the Emperor retired, said, " My good dame, I am very sorry for your sake, that all the money I have with me is but 600 milreis ; ne vertheless, I hope it will suffice for your present neces sities ;" and placing the notes in her hand, he walked away, leacing her speechless with wonder at Don Pedro's munificence. When, however, the Em peror was duly informed of the sum which had thus been disbursed on his account, he flew into a great passion, and after reproaching P— with indifference to his interests, told him with great displeasure that he would not have been so lavish of his own money. Here the matter rested. Among the first who flocked to congratulate Don Pedro on his entering Oporto was this very woman, who it appeared left the Brazils to join her husband soon after the events related above ; since when she had succeeded, through the death of a relation, to very considerable property, which her husband had pre served from Miguel's rapacity by effectually conceal ing his real principles. On the day we landed, how,. ever, he could contain himself no longer, but mixing with the Constitutionalists, attacked a party of the retreating enemy, and, miserabile clictu lost his lif e in the conflict.
