steamer takes this; she goes direct to Plymouth, with despatches from Lord Wm. Russell, our AU nister, but they are, I believe, of but trifling importance." His Majesty's ship ..--, Sept. 12. We are in daily expectation of an attack from the Miguelites, who are in force before the city, but I am pretty certain they will get a good licking, as the lines are now made so very strong. They lost a great many men on the first attack, and could not get in, although the weakest part of the position was attempted. Every day's delay on their part is equal to five hundred men to Pedro ; deserters are every day coming in. I verily believe they never' would have got the troops from before Oporto ) had they not been deceived by Miguel, in saying that there was an American fleet outside to assist them, and that St. Julian's, the Key of the Tagus, was in their possession; and, moreover, the deserters say they were led to suppose they would have been able to march into Lisbon without opposition, supposing it to be defended only by National Guards. But what was General Clouet's surprise when he found four thousand men had arrived from Oporto. He sa'd, " Surely they cannot have passed me on the road." His Excellency had not bargained for the facility which steam-boats gave his opponents. Count Louis La Roche Jaqueline was killed in the last attack, leading a charge of Miguelite cavalry. SUSPENSION OF HOSTILITIES—MEDIATION OF ENGLAND. (From the Devonport Telegraph.) The Echo, Government steamer, Lieutenant Otway, commander, arrived here on Thursday, from Lisbon and Oporto. She left Lisbon on the 12th, and Oporto on the 14th instant, and has brought home proposals from Don Miguel for the intervention of England in the quarrel between him and his brother. Lisbon was closely besieged, and there had been some severe fighting, but the Mi guelites had been repulsed at every point. We shall proceed to give the course of events in the order they have occurred. From the first notice of the approach of Don Miguel, the greatest exertions were made to finish the lines and defences of the city, Don Pedro him self, sad many persons of the first rank, frequently , working in the trenches. As the Miguelites ad vanced, the country people came flocking into the city with their moveables, to escape the barbarity of the enemy's soldiers, whose conduct was fero cious to all who fell into their hands. Every place they passed in their march from Santarem was pil laged, and in numerous instances the people were murdered in cold blood. The Duke of Terceira having only 6,000 regular troops, fell back as the Miguelites, who were 16,000 strong, advanced ; his rear guard being frequently engaged in their retreat. On the evening of the 31st a sharp skirmish took place, in which the Miguelites lost 100 men. Some of the English and Irish brigades had arrived from Oporto on the 29th. The Echo confirms the intelligence previously received through the French papers of the attack upon the lines of Lis bon on the ,sth, which was commenced at five o'clock in the morning of that day by a heavy can nonading upon the seat of the Marquis of Lorenstol, which forms one of the principal points of defence, and the great body of the army shortly after at tacked the centre of the line-1,200 men attacked Lorenstol, which was bravely defended by 84 men only, and though the house, which had been con verted into a fort, was absolutely riddled, the Mi guelites eventually abandoned the attack as hope less ; 120 round shot passed through the building. About nine, a. m., the body of the Miguelite army fell back, and the cannonading ceased, but skirmish ing was kept up during the whole day—the Miguel hes boldly keeping within pistol shot of the lines, and shouting at the Pedroites through the embra sures of the fortifications. In the evening a detach ment of Cacadores was sent to drive in the enemy's light troops, in which they succeeded after a sharp struggle. The loss in this engagement is computed at 400 killed and wounded on the Constitutional side, and 700 or 800 of the Miguelites ; the loss of officers on the side of Don Pedro was very severe ; bitt n^^" of English officers appear in the list. tae Irish brigaue as enaarepd. „,., „ ffi , was wounded. The Pedroites evinced a dreadful spirit of revenge, plating all prisoners to death. On the 9th a Miguelite force, to the amount of 400 cavalry, supported by a body of infantry, took possession of the village and palace of Ajuda, which t hey plundered, carrying off even the Church plate, which it was supposed would have been respected by so bright a luminary of the Church. Don Mi guel was supposed to be at his palace of Queluz, and General Bourmont with the body of the Mi guelite army, which was encamped at Campo Grande, four miles from Lisbon. On the 12th instant Miguel sent in proposals for an accommodation by Colonel Hare, one of the at. ladies to Lord William Russell. Six of these pro positions, amongst which were three-Ist, for the inviolability of the Church property-2d, that Don Miguel should have secured to him all the estates to which he was entitled as Infant-3d, a general am nesty—were positively refused; the other proposi tions were on matters of little or no importance. As soon as Don Pedro's reply to these terms was known, General Bourmont applied to Lord William Russell and Admiral Parker to act as mediators. This was declined, as they had not sufficient autho rity to act, but they offered to despatch a steam packet immediately to England with the proposi tions, and to obtain instructions from our Govern ment, which despatches were brought home by Lieutenant Otwav, in the Echo, who proceeded forthwith to Londnn. Meanwhile hostilities had ceased for the present, though no formal armistice was agreed upon, and every precaution was taken to prevent surprise. The lines of Lisbon, which now mount one hundred cannon and eighteen mortars, have been so strengthened since the attack of the sth, that they may now be said to be impregnable, and a second attack with Miguel's present forces madness. The Pedroite forces amounted to eight hundred cavalry, including two hundred and fifty lancers, under the command of Major Bacon, and about seventeen thousand infantry. The city was in a very unset tled state, and the confidence of the merchants somewhat lessened in consequence of the apparent change in the policy of the English authorities. It was confidently asserted that the English Govern ment had offered to send 6,000 troops to support Donna Maria on the throne of Portugal, if Don Pedro himself, of whom their was some distrust, would consent to give up all authority and quit the country. This was refused, and shortly after a letter was forwarded by Lord W. Russell to the merchants, informing them that those who chose to assist Don Pedro were perfectly at liberty to do so, but they must consider, in that event, that they were without the protection of the British Govern ment ; and in the tacit assistance before given the cause of the Constitutionalists was changed to a strict neutrality. Previously to the attack of the sth, the merchants applied to the Admiral to land the marines to pro tect the Custom-house, but this was not complied with. Oporto is left in command of General Stubbs. the Captain Napier was st ill i n Tagus, with the principal part of his squadron refitting. Some little inconvenience wasfet off at Lisbon, in consequence of Bourmont having cut of water from the aqueduct, but as the whole theu supply f pp th ly e s outh of the Tagus was open, a supply wasobe i without much difficulty. When the Ech o left Lis bon, bon, the British for ce on the station were, th e Asia, flag ship, Captain P. Richards, Talavera, Captain Chetham, Donegal, Captain Fanshawe, Stag, Capt. Lockyer, Belvidcra, Captain Saundeis, Savage, 10, Lieut. Loney, Viper, schooner, Lieut. James. The Leveret, Lieut. Lapidge, was at St. Übes. The Nimrod was on her passage to relieve the Orestes at Oporto, which is ordered to return to England via Corunna, where she lands the British Consul, Mr. Crispin. The Fair Rosamond schooner had sailed for the coast of Africa. The Pantaloon eft Lisbon on the Bth for England. The Maitland transport was in the Tagus for the reception of the British merchants in the event of the fall of Lisbon. The Castor, Captain John Hay, and the Nautilus, Captain Lord James Paulett, were off Oporto. Lord Edward Russell was superseded in the com mand of the Nimrod by Commander George Hope; Commander J. Shepherd superseded in the Donegal by Commander G. A. Sainthill ; Lieut. J. G. Dick superseded from the Stag by Lieut. the Hon. Keith Stewart; Mr. Harrison, mate of the Talavera, Mr. Reece, of the Donegal, and Messrs. Lowe and Walsh, late of the Fair Rosamond, came home pas sengers in the Orestes. Messrs. Norway and Har rison, late of the Asia, came home passengers in the Echo. Our Falmouth letters mention the arrival of the Magpie and Pantaloon from Portugal ; but their dates are four days older than the accounts by the Echo, which, however, they confirm as far as they go. Marshal Bourmont committed an error in delaying to attack Lisbon until after the lines were formed. The Asia has been moved opposite the packet stairs; the Donegal and Talavcra, opposite the Black-horse-square, and the small craft have been sent up the river. Among the killed, on the sth, on the Miguelite side, was a nephew of the French General La Rochejlquelin, and on the side of the Constitutionalists, General T. Mascarenos, nephew to the Duke of Palmella, was killed ; General Valdez was wounded, and the Duke of Terceira (Villa Flor) had a horse killed under him. The attack was sustained chiefly by the Volunteers, who behaved with great spirit. The celebrated Miguelite partisan, Sir John Campbell, has fallen into the hands of Don Pedro, and is a prisoner at Lisbon. GERMAN PAPERS. VIENNA, Sam 12.—The Duchess of Berry is on her way to Prague, where she will probably arrive to-day or to-morrow. M. de Montbel was sent to meet her, to remonstrate with her, in the name of Charles X., on the resolution she bad taken, and to induce her to return to Naples; but the Duchess appears to have thought proper to continue her journey, in order to consult personally with her august family. The Constantinople mail of the 26th has arrived here, but brings nothing interesting. It seems that the Slutan intended to proceed t 3 the nomination of the Hospodars of the Principalities, and expected the list of candidates from St. Petersburgb. As soon as these Hospodars shall have been appointed and installed, the Russian troops now in the Principalities will set out on their march to Russia. All the difficulties respecting the demarcation of the fron tiers of Servia are removed, and the Turkish au• thorities that still remained in the Servian districts have been replaced by the Servian. The Sultan is about to enlarge his manufactory of arms, or to erect a new one. Hitherto, it is said, that between 30,000 and 40,000 stand of arms have been yearly manufactured, which would suffice to supply a large army. The design of extending the manufactory seems therefore to indicate an intended augmentation of the Turkish army which, notwithstanding all that it has latterly suffered, is still estimated at 180,000 men. With what view the Porte raises such a force, which must increase its financial diffi culties, it is not easy to explain, unless it means to embrace the first favourable opportunity of chas tising the Pacha of Egypt for what he has done to it. It is said that the Greek resident will come to Constantinople to represent his nation. His arrival will cause some sensation. The Greeks at Constantinople still consider themselves as subjects of the Porte, and have no notio❑ that they are no more bound to it or under its protection. It would, however, be of great importance to the Greek merchants to have in Constantinople a foreign representative, on whose support they might rely. Count Lusi, who is to be the Prussian Minister in Greece, bas arrived here, and will, in a few days, set out for Ancona. VIENNA, SEPT. 13.-5 per Cents.

FRANKFORT, SEPT. 16.—Our Correspondent in Poland sends us the following details which merit the attention of our readers:— The late debates in the British House of Commons having again attracted public attention to the affairs of Poland, it will not Le without utility to call to mind some circumstances, probably forgotten by some, perhaps even unknown to many others, and which are now of great historical importance to every body. When in 1812. the virtnrintig army n 1 the -.ander occupied the Tirana Duchy of Warsaw, when afterwards the remnants of the French army were driven to the left bank of the Rhin , , the most enthusiastic minds ceased to hope the regeneration of the kingaom of Poland, for common sense told them that by the force of circum stances alone the only question to be solved was, whether the political situation of 1806, that is to say, the union of the Grand Duchy with Prussia should be re-established, or whether the Emperor Alexander, making use of the right of conquest, would incorporate it with the Russian empire. Meantime the prevailing opinion among the in habitants was, that the country would be incorporated with the dominions of one of the neighbouring Powers. Several persons in the Prussian civil service having, im mediately after the battle of Leipsic, taken lodgings at Warsaw, this circumstance served to countenance the report that the statu quo of 1806 was going to be restored, and was precisely the return of a German Government that was most apprehended. The Central Departmental Council, as well as all the other departments, then agreed unani mou4y to an address, by which his Majesty was requested to unite the Grand Duchy of Warsaw with the Russian empire, and to prevent the country, which was inhabited by a Sclavonian population, from becoming the property of a German Sovereign.' Prince Adam Czntoryski, who was chosen to express the wishes of the ❑atio❑ to the Emperor Alexander, de clares that he is the more inclined to undertake this mis sion, " because he is firmly convinced that Poland could not be happy except by its union with the Russian empire." Meantime the illness of Prince Czartoryski's mother having prevented his immediate departure, the former attorney, General Szaniawaki, was appointed to present the address in question. It was presented to the Emperor at Friburg, in the 13risgau, and soon afterwards Prince Czartoryski appeared at the head-quarters to second the endeavours of Szaniawski. The Emperor Alexander, however, not thinking the moment favourable for signi fying his intentions respecting Poland, put off his answer to the end of the campaign. So solemn a step allows no doubt that the Poles sub mitted at discretion, and without reserve to the Emperor Alexander, not only as to the conquerors, but also to the sovereign of their choice. It was of his own accord, and contrary to all expec tation, that the Emperor Alexander re-established a king dom of Poland, that he gave it separate institutions, flourishing finances, and the finest army it has ever had. If we now consider, that in return for these immense benefits, his Alaj!sty the Emperor Alexander and his august successor were repaid with the blackest ingratitude, and the most paternal intentions of the Government met only with base calumnies and a constant spirit of opposi tion, which at length brought on the revolution with its crimes and its miseries, we may duly appreciate the decla rations of the soi•disant partisans of Poland, who claim institutions and a political state which the Congress of Vienna itself never guarantded to that country.—Journal de Frankfort, Sept. 17. SUDDEN DEATH.—At the Three Bridges, within one mile of Carrick-on-Suir, on Friday last, as William Lahy, a man about thirty years of age, and in perfect health, was cutting oats (he had the sickle in one hand and the corn in the other), he dropped and ex claimed, " Lord have mercy on my soul, I am dying." He never spoke after, but expired in a few minutes.— Dublin Evening Mail. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—About 4 o'clock on Saturday, while a waggon loaded with timber, belonging to Mr. Cubitt, the eminent builder, in Gray's Ina-lane, was on its way to Wimbledon, having passed over Batter sea-bridge, and just before it bad entered the village of Battersea, the driver turned up a road on the left, which is not a highway. The man had not gone far before he saw his error. The waggon was drawn by four horses ; and just as the driver had seized hold of the shaft horse, and called on the rest to stop, the ponderous machine, with tremendous force, was burled down a bank about eight feet deep, into a muddy ditch, the whole being in volved in indescribable confusion. The cries of the man soon brought assistance ; but, what with the darkness of the ❑ight and the struggles of the horses, little could be done to extricate them for some time. The animals were at length drawn out (one unfortunately being dead), and the timber replaced. There was 1001. in gold, silver, and copper in a box in the load, which was burst open in the fall, and the money scattered about, but, with the ex ception of a few halfpence, all was recovered. The wag goner narrowly escaped with his life. The loss to Mr. Cubitt is near 1001. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1833.1 It is reported in what are called the fashion able circles that the Earl of MUNSTER is not yet satisfied with what has been done for him by the Government, and that having complained to an illustrious personage, he has justly in curred displeasure, and is now digesting his ill humour at Brighton. Our readers, however, must not suppose that Lord MUNSTER, remem bering his origin, rinds his pre-eminence over the generality of persons of - :'rnilar birth painful from its tendency to direct the attention of man kind to circumstances which, although not dis creditable in themselves to the individual affected by them, yet become so when he forgets his own origin, and gives himself airs in society which cannot be assumed even by the highest without displeasing men of sense, and offending the multitude. Lord MUNSTER has no feeling of this kind. His motive of dissatisfaction is, as we hear, his not being created a Duke, and not having an estate settled upon him by the - - _ country. His Lordship is sufficiently well versed in the history of his country to know, that the illegitimate sons of many Sovereigns attained the rank in society to which he aspires ; but h e should bear in mind that the circumstances which caused their elevation were very different from those of the present day. The illusion which formerly hung around thrones, and which made men believe that an individual having the blood of a King in his veins,—although in the sinister course of things,—was inferior only to the Royal progeny in the matrimonial line, exists no longer ; and a right-minded man, although he would not feel disgraced at an illegitimacy which was the fault of his parents, and not his own, would at least dis cover that the post of honour would be with him, in a peculiar degree, a private station. If Lord MUNSTER had rendered to society any of those services which hare in other cases - given a splen dour which no circumstance of birth or connec tion could have bestowed, he might be excusable for aspiring t o hi g h er dignities;—honours we will not call them, for the mere titles bestowed by a Sovereign, unaccompanied by worth, are no more honourable than are the assumed titles of a pageant or a play ;—but we are quite at a loss to divine the service which he has per formed, unless, indeed, it was the back stair service of the Court, which, but for the good will of the public towards his father, might have had serious consequences for this ultra agent of an Ultra Tory clique. An estate too ! An estate to be settled upon him by the Legislature in the name of the country ! Does this illustrious Earl reflect on what would result from such a settlement ? Is there a mechanic or a stone breaker in the kingdom who would not in his daily toil curse the profligacy of a Government which should lend itself to such an arrangement ? Is there a man of feeling to be found who would not proclaim aloud his disgust at such a wanton outrage upon the patient endurance of the people? If, in these hard times, there are thousands who think that the Legislature has been more generous than it need have been, even to such a man as the Duke of WELLINGTON, whose military services were of the highest order, what would be said if the KING were to be so weak and the Government so criminal as to grant a Dukedom to an individual, whose claims to dis tinction of any kind are of so peculiar a cha racter—if the Legislature were to d ecree t h e apportionment of a part of the earnings of the hard-working population to the purchase of an estate for a man, who exercised his influence at Court for the purpose of preventing the Reform, from which the people expected political free dom, and of prolonging the dominion of an Aristocracy whose profligacy fed on the produce of the hard-stretched muscles of the working classes ? We have no personal to the Earl of MUNSTER, and hope, for his own sake, that the rumour to which we have alluded, and upon which these remarks have been made, will not prove so well founded as, from the quarter in which we heard it, we should consider it to be. It would have been much wiser in an illustrious personage, and more consistent with the duty of Ministers, perhaps, if all the persons of a certain origin had been left in the private station for which their birth designed them ; but as the error, if it be one, cannot be remedied without inconvenience, and is, after all, one of little real importance, except as regards the moral influence upon society, let the past rest. But we must repeat our hope, that the Earl of MUNSTER will be satisfied with the title which he already bears, and with the liberal income allowed to him by his father ; and that he will not by his own imprudence render it necessary for us and our contemporaries of the press to say things which might appear harsh, and which, being as true as they were severe, might inflict pain where it was not intended. We think it necessary, as several erroneous statements respecting the intended railway com munication between Paris and the French coast have recently appeared in some of the papers, to state, upon authority, that no decision has yet been come to by the French Government with respect to the line. M. THlErts, the French Minister, in whose department this affair rests, distinctly stated on Tuesday last in London, at the same time giving full permission for the statement being repeated, that the report of the engineers would not be made for two or three months to come, and that, although cir cumstances seemed to indicate that the line of communication would be with Dieppe, nothing could be decided upon until the report of the engineers should have been sent in. Equally erroneous are most of the statements respecting the proposed railway from London to Brighton. For this there are two schemes—one proposed by Sir JOHN RENNIE, the other by his late assistant, Mr. VIGNOLLES, also an en gineer of considerable ability. The plan sub mitted by Sir JOHN RENNIE is for a railway direct to Brighton, by Merstham, Crawley, and Worth ; but, according to his line, a very large and, we believe, unnecessary expenditure, would be incurred for tunnels, and other excava- Lions. This, however, if the affair should go on, will probably be overruled, by the Provisional Committee, who are men of business and who would prefer the cheapness and utility of a plain undertaking to a romantic expenditure for tun nels and other works, the only effect of which would be to give celebrity to the architect. Some of the parties connprtod with Sir JUUN RENNIE; incline, we believe, to a line through Lewes and Newhaven, with a branch rail-way to Brighton; and this, if the port of Newhaven were improved, would perhaps be the wiser course, as Newhaven is several miles nearer to the French coast, and the navigation is, at cer tain periods of the year, less difficult than from Brighton to Shoreham. The plan of M. VIGNOLLES, is to avoid Brighton, and proceed direct to Shoreham, passing near Horsham and Steyning. This would be by far the cheapest plan, as for nearly thirty miles there is hardly a hill of consequence to be cut through ; but in that case the com mercial advantages of a railway, and which are not the most important as regards Brighton, would be considered in preference to the con veyance of passengers. We think the Pro visional Committee on Sir JOHN RENNIE'S plan, and the supporters of Mr. VIGNOLLES would do well to adopt the good parts of each plan, and determine upon the railway without regard to the whims of either of those gentlemen. Having adopted the best parts of the two schemes, they should then offer the joint execution of the undertaking to Messrs. RENNIE and Mr. VIGNOLLES, and, in the event of their refusing to co-operate, employ another person. They would thus avoid the delay which must otherwise result from the conflict between those gentlemen, and which has already been of so much injury that a very limited number of applications has been made for the shares of either. It is highly improbable, as matters now stand, that the projectors of either line will be in a condition to apply to Parliament for an Act next session ; but another year can not pass over without some progress having been made in the steps which are necessary for legis lative sanction. The French papers of Sunday, and the Ga zette de France and .Messager des Chambres, dated yesterday, contain intelligence which, if true, is of the highest importance to all Eu rope. They mention, on the authority of a private letter, dated Ancona, the 11th inst., that at nine o'clock on the morning of that day, the Meteor, British Government steam-picket, arrived at Ancona (having left Constantinople on the 31st ult.) with despatches to the British Ambassador, to the effect that—a revolution had taken place in the Turkish capital—that 16,000 houses had been burned, and that the SULTAN had taken refuge at Pera, where he was pre paring to defend himself I This news had, of course, excited a great sensation at Paris, where it was pretty generally credited. For our own part, we are equally willing to believe it (though, perhaps, the circumstances are a little exag gerated) for the wanton debasement of the Trea sury coin—the obnoxious reforms of the SULTAN (who has contrived to extract poison from that which in abler hands would have been an anti dote) and worst of all, his late cringing subser viency to Russian dictation ; and indeed the whole state of Turkish affairs for the last two or 'three years, have been such as could not fail to terminate in a revolution. Another reason that induces us to give credit to this report—or at least to some portion of it—is, that any fresh disturbance in Constantinople cannot fail, by still more weakening the Government, to strengthen the Russian influence. The St. Petersburgh Ca binet has therefore an interest in fomenting jealousies and discontents in Turkey; it was by such insidious means that she was enabled to maks her first appearance in Constantinople, and it is such means that will now induce her to repeat her visit. NICHOLAS well knows, that what he does in the way of aggrandisement must be done quickly. He has not a moment to lose. Another year, and liberalism may have got such an ascendant throughout Europe, that neither his own, nor the Prussian, nor Austrian armies shall be able to make the slightest head against it. Despotism, if she wish to augment her pernicious influence, must now take as her favourite motto—" Strike while iron is hot." By the private correspondence of a Morning Cotemporary (which will be found in another column) we learn that in reply to some obser vations of Lord WILLIAM RUSSELL, respecting opening a negotiation with Don MIGUEL, Don PEDRo replied that he would promise his bro ther nothing except a pension for life. Nothing further has transpired respecting the late arrival from Portugal. It is denied in official quarters that the statement of the Fal mouth paper is well founded. It is, however, certain that the British and French Cabinets have proposed an arrangement between the con tending parties, and it is probable that the despatches, respecting which so much mystery has been observed, contained their respective answers to the proposition. The German Papers contain a dull, sophistical article, dictated evidently by Russian influence, tending to show how ungratefully the Poles have acted in having presumed to make the slightest outcry against the tender mercies of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. By the German and Hamburg Papers, we find that the best possible understanding exists between Austria and Prussia, the Emperor of AUSTRIA having invited the King of PRUSSIA to send a number of staff and other superior officers to the grand military review which is shortly to take place at Verona, which invitation has, it seems, been accepted. By the last accounts the Emperor of RUSSIA had reached Munchengratz, where he was met and welcomed by the Emperor of AUSTRIA. Prince TALLEYRAND left his house in Ha nover-square this morning at ten o'clock, on his way to Paris. Previously to his departure, he announced his intention of returning to this country at the end of the year; but we are still inclined, from what we have heard, to believe that circumstances will occur to alter his inten tion. His Excellency appeared in rather better health than he had done for some days past. ELECTION EXPENSES.---NIUCiI has been said of the enormous expenses to which the provisions of the Reform Bill would subject candidates. A positive confutation has, however, been afforded in this borough. The total amount of expense charged to each of the three candidates at the late election for Macclesfield, by the Returning Officer has barely exceeded 181. This in cludes hustings, poll clerks, stamps, return registration fees, printing, advertising, &c. ; besides a sum of 101. for the use of the National School-rooms. Michaelmas Day this year falling on a Sun day, the Sheriffs elect for the city of London and county of Middlesex will be sworn into office on Saturday next, and proceed to the election of Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. BdRKE.—The conversation of Burke must have been (says Mr. Moore) like the procession of a Roman triumph, exhibiting power and riches at every step—occasionally, perhaps, mingling the low Fescennine jet with the lofty music of its march, but glittering all over with the spoil.; of the whole ransacked world. AMERICAN TURF.—The death of the cele brated colt Midas, by Eclipse, is mentioned in the New York papers. lie was matched to run against Mr. Johnson's Jessup, by Medley, for 10,000 dollars, to be run over the Long Island Course in October. His death is supposed to have been produced by the ball which is usually given at the commencement of training sticking in his throat. The flies are so troublesome at Swan River in the summer time, that it is very common for the gen tlemen, and even the labouring settlers, to wear a veil over their face. The large brown maggot blowing fly, so common at Hobart Town, is still more annoying in that country.—Hoburt Town Courier. An interesting occurrence lately took place at the Ecole de Medecine. A young man, of an olive com plexion, speaking very pure French, though with a foreign accent, underwent his final examination, and obtained his diploma as a doctor. He is a Mussulman, born at Cairo, and one of the Egyptians sent to France by Mehemet Ali. He is the first Mussulman who has taken a degree in Europe, at least since the revival of letters in the west. ANECDOTE.—An eastern tin pedlar having fixed his waggon i❑ a shed—no matter where it was—in Jersey city or at Hoboken—that is nobody's business—the stable, however, was noted for keeping horses as lean as Pharaoh's cows. As he walked from stem to stern, and discerned the bones on the horses' rumps projecting like so many small pyramids, says he, " Mr. Landlord, do you make horses here ?" " Make horses here ?" says the surly Dutchman, " what do you mean, Sir ?" " Why, f thought as how you had just been setting up the frames I" —New York Paper. A destructive fire broke out on Saturday night, about half-past ten o'clock, on the premises adjoin ing the mansion of W. C. Marsh, Esq., at Park Hall, near Epping, and after raging with uncontrolled violence for the space of six hours, the whole of the valuable out buildings, and a quantity of bay, together with several stacks of wood, and a number of calves, were entirely consumed. By the judicious directions of R. B. An drews, Esq., and Mr. Doubleday, with the asistance of most of the inhabitants of the town, the flames were pre vented from communicating to the splendid mansion of the former gentleman. The damage is estimated at about 3,0001. ; the premises are understood to be insured. The occurrence is supposed to originate with some incen diary. ABSENCE 07 AUTHORS.—A literary con temporary bitterly complaining of the dearth of new publications, says " all the monde of books is on the wing : nobody in town ; nobody writes ; nobody publishes. Bulwer is in Paris; Lockhart in Aix•la-Chapelle ; Wordsworth and Southey in Westmoreland; Lord Normandy in Jamaica; Mrs. Norton in Broadstairs ; Mrs. Hemans in Wales; Miss I'litford in Reading ; Wilson Croker in Geneva ; Crofton Croker at Walhalla Green, or some other equally inac cessible region ; Telesforo de Trueba is in the Lk: of Wight; Professor Wilson in Edinburgh; Delta Moir in Musselburgh ; Pythagorean Macnish in Glakgow ; Bob Montgomery in Lausanne ; Coleridge and La m b i n High gate ; Lady Morgan and Bowering in B russe l s ; Alias Edgeworth somewhere in Ireland ; Dunlop in Canada ; Miss Bowels at Ryde ; Miss Roberts in Calcutta ; Haynes Bayly and Banim in Boulogne ; Ikey Sol omons i n B otan y Bay.
