DRESDEN, SEPT. 16.—The Second Chamber of the Assembly of the States, in a secret sitting of this d iy, agreed to approve of the Convention concluded by the Go vernment for acceding to what is called the Prussian- German Tariff, so that this important question is finally decided. After a very warm debate (the subject having been discussed already on Saturday, in a sitting with closed doors), 64 members being present, 50 declared for, and 14 against the measure; certainly a remarkable result, when we consider the aversion that still prevails with a great part of the people to the Prussian system. VIENNA, SEPT. 16.—The Crown Prince of Prussia has arrived at Munchengratz, and the King of Bavaria is expected- The King of Prussia was prevented from accompanying his son-in-law, by the grand review at Magdeburg. There is to be a review at Brunn, at which the Emperor Francis, and perhaps also the Emperor of Russia, will be present. All eyes are turned on the meet ing of the Sovereigns; so that important political matters are for the present forgotten. Nobody troubles himself about the Swiss, or the adjournment of the London Con ference, or the family contest in Portugal ; everybody talks of Munchengratx, without knowing anything of the object of the'tneeting To judge by the state of the funds, the public seem to entertain no apprehension concerning the fu'ure, being convinced that the Sovereigns will do their utmost to avoid every ti ing that may endanger the conti nuance of peace, or have the effect of disturbing the exist ing relations of Europe. STUTTGARD, SEPT. 19.—His Highness the Prince of Montfort, with her Royal Highness the Princess, and her children, Princess Matilda and Prince Napoleon, have arrived here on a visit to their Majesties. Counsellor Rodinger has been arrested to.day, and taken to the fortress of Asperg. VIENNA, SEPT. 17.—Five per Cent. 92 9.32 ; Four per Cent. 5211; Bank Stock, 1,1941. —Allyemeine Zeitung, Sept. 22. VIENNA, SEPT. 14.—Letters from Napoli di Romania, received by way of Trieste, are not interesting ; they make no mention of the changes in the Ministry, said to have been caused by the retirement of the Secretary of State, Trikupis. FRANKFORT, SEPT. 22.—The Journal of Smyrna gives a letter from Alex tndria of the 14th of June, an nouncing the death of the Defterdar Bey, son-in-law of Mehemet Ali, who has left a fortune estimated at above 100 millions of piastres, which he acquired en the conquest of Cordofar and Darfour. Mehemet will remain for some time at Cairo to gather this rich inheritance, which comes very seasonably to relieve his financial difficulties. The equip ment of the fleet is prosecuted with great diligence, and several ships have already sailed. It is thought that the fleet is to bring back Ibrahim's troops from Syria, and to convey Mehemet Ali to Candia. The insurrection in the Hedjaz is spreading. The leader of the rebels is Turn Billes, formerly in the service of the Pacha, a man of some talent and great bravery. He has many thousand men, and if he is not speedily checked, it will require our army, and much bloodshed, as the inhabitants of the countries through which he passes, readily join his standard. He has already plundered several rich caravans on their way to Cairo with the produc tions of India, and till he is subdued, no caravan ca❑ be expected at Cairo. The expedition against him will shortly set out on its march. Another letter, of the 27th of June, says, " Mehemet Ali returned to Alexandria on the 21st, and intended to go to Candia, accompanied by some c +mei§ and merchants. He means to form a naval arsenal awl dock yards at Suda, the fine harbour of which affords every a .vantage for such an establishment. The fleet is gone to Taurus ; part of the army will return from Syria, the remainder be distri buted in the towns on the coast. Ibrahim remains for a time at St. Jean d'Acre, to organise tie administration, to levy new tfoops, and especially to direct the works at Adana, which Mehemet Ali intends to fortify, and has sent to his son the engineers in his service. Another letter, of July 16, says Mehemet is impatient for the return of the fleet, to go to Candia. The 7th ship of the line is to be launched to-morrow, and the Bth in u few days. As soon as one is launched another is begun. It is not known how large he means his fleet to be, but if he goes on building as be has hitherto done, it will be formidable. Accounts from Candia, of July 25, say that the Greek inhabitants are much alarmed lest the Egyptian system of monopoly should be introduced in the island. They are extremely discontented at an ordinance prohibiting all Cretan Greeks from selling their property, and all inhabi tants from purchasing it, on pain of forfeiting the amount of the purchase money. The Greeks believe that this measure is intended to compel them to remain in the island. —Frankfort Papers, Sept. 22. The Austrian Observers, to Sept. 17 inclusive, have no further news from Constantinople. APPENDIX TO THE FIFTH EDITION OF THE PAMPHLET ENTITLED " THE REFORMED MINISTRY AND THE REFORMED PARLIAMENT." POST- OFFICE. The following statement, compiled from official returns, will not be unacceptable to those who duly estimate the advantages of increasing the means of communication throughout the kingdom. It furnishes the best answer to the complaints which some individuals have made, of a want of energy in this department. These improvements have been effected during the time the Duke of Richmond has been Postmaster General. Four new cross mail coaches established in Great Britain. 22 of the English and Scotch mail coaches avcelerated, including those from London to Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, and Milford, and on the principal cross road lines. 19 entirely new horse posts established. 11 old communications improved. 14. places made post towns. Letter-carriers appointed at 35 towns; and the gra tuities previously chargtd on the delivery of letters dis continued. Sixteen letter-carriers added at large towns to meet the ncreased demand for accommodation. 75 Penny-posts established, including, in an official arrangement, many hundred villages and hamlets which had previously little or no means of communication by post, and producing considerable additional revenue. Miscellaneous improvements effected at twenty-four different towns. SCOTLAND. 10 new post communications opened. old communications improved. Letter-carriers appointed at 25 towns. 25 Penny-posts established upon the same principles, and with the same results, as in England. Miscellaneous improvements effected at nine different towns. IRELAND. 7 new mail coaches established. 12 of the mail coaches accelerated and improved. 32 new post communications opened. 42 old communications much improved. 14H Penny-posts established. The deliveries and receiving-houses in Dublin placed on an improved footing. 6 new Twopenny past tides established. 36 additional letter-carriers appointed. Additional deliveries granted at upwards of 40 different villages in the neighbourhood of the metropolis. An additional collection of letters daily established in seven districts. The town delivery extended to a circle of three miles from the General Post Office ; reducing the postage within that dirtance to 2d., and affording many advantages to tLe correspondence. The General the Genera Po l Postst Office, Deliv extendedex y emptng a largeportion i oftoacircle three miles from of ing the receipt h o eo f xot t ar h ee e mo letters f inat at the m e a n N y e Ew c a a :B e t e s o . r un ' n, correspondence from th e t wo p enny postage, and accelerat daanryd, f a o n r o t h t b e e r e i v s t i r g n at A the re N c N e Y deposit of the general post letters, affording much more time for putting in letters. Two additional " accelerators" employed. The Foreign mails delivered by the Inland letter-carriers, instead of waiting until 10 o'clock. Foreign mails, arriving after the morning delivery, and before four o'clock, sent out by the twopenny-post de spatches, according to the hour of arrival, and on post nights by the seven o'clock evening despatches ; the former practice being to retain any mails arriving after two o'clock, for delivery next morning. The mails to Lisbon and the Mediterranean forwarded by steam vessels, and bags made up for Cadiz, Zante, and Patras. The mails to Holland and Hamburg sent by steam vessels. A daily post established to and from France. N. I3.—The above account only shows the improve ments for which the special authority of the Postmaster- General has been obtained. There are other very nume rous improvements connected with the acceleration of mail coaches, and the establishment or alteration of horse posts, which the surveyors are enabled to effect without increased expense, and which do not, therefore, appear in the official records.

POISON FROM EATING A TOAD PAD nocic.—An Inquest was held yesterday before Roberston Gladstone, Esq., Coroner, on the body of John Riley, a boy of nine years of age, who had gone out with some other boys on Thursday morning last to gather black berries. They observed a coach stop on the Kirkdale_ road, they being at the time in a field adjoining it; and a person got off the box and picked up something in the hedge, which appeared like a mushroom. lie broke it in two and threw it on the ground. The deceased John Riley ran and picked it up, and ate some of the stalk. The same evening he was taken ill, on his return home; and his mother and father being at Bolton at the tinie there was only an old woman to attend him, who was ignorant of the cause of his illness. On Friday his mother returned, and immediately procured medical assistance; she found him in a high state of delirium, and it was with the greatest difficulty that he could be confined to his bed. In this state be lingered until three o'clock on Sunday morning, when he died. From the time that professional aid was procured every thing that skill conk' devise was resorted to. Verdict, " Accidental Death, Esser Herald. A CASE OF DOUBLE MURDER IN COR iiICA.—At the assizes of Bastia, the chkt town of Cor sica, Pasquale Crudeli was tried, on the 17th and 18th of August, on two charges, each for deliberate murder. The criminal was about 32 years of age, and his whole appearance denoted the greatest ferocity of disposition. His arm was in a sling, in consequence of a wound which he had received front one of the Corsican voltigeurs. The first charge referred so far back as to the 31st of Decem ber, 1827. It appears that a farmer, named Simon Torre, found, on that day, a horse belonging to the prisoner trespassing on his property, and he and the prisoner had a quarrel about it. A fight ensued, and Crudeli stabbed his antagonist with a stiletto. Torre told him that . he would prosecute him. " Then," said Crudeli, " I'll give you better reason to do so." So he ran home, and fetched a gun, and, lying in wait for Torre, shot him dead. The ruffian then absconded, and was condemned at the time to death for contuma c y by th e C our t. —Th e secon d accusa tion was for a murder connected with the first, and perpe trated on the Bth of July, 1831. One of the witnesses on the former trial, Valentini, was his own brother.in law ; and C ru d e li, fi n di ng t h at h e gave ev id ence aga i n st him, shot him also in his bed, the ball passing completely through the body of the unfortunate victim. A very re markable fact was proved on the trial, namely, that Cru dell's old father, accompanied by the family of Torre, went before a notary, and each signed a treaty of peace, whereby it was agreed that the Torres might search for Torres — and rr should es an d b a t h freeat f young C ru d el i , but that not more than three of them assail hi m — t h at, i n the mean time, the family of theCrudeli froln eitherallo f molestation th e parties on violatedth parte th o is f contract, they should forfeit the sum of 800 francs. The wretched prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced for execution. !COURT CIRCULAR. Their MAJESTIES were expected to honour the Earl of ALBEMARLE, Master of the Horse to the KING, with their company at dinner last evening at the Stud House, at Hampton Court. The Duke and Duchess of CUM • BERLAND went from their residence at Kew to meet the KING and QUEEN. The Duke of RICHMOND, and Mr. Secretary and Mrs. STANLEY were among the company to meet their MAJESTIES. The Belgic Plenipotentiaries visited Viscount PALMER. STON yesterday, at the Foreign-office. Count JENrsos, the Bavarian Minister, transacted business on Thursday evening at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affiirs. Mr. D ' EPINAY (from the Mauritius) transacted business yesterday at the Colonial-office. WINDSOR, SEPT. 27. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, and the Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND, paid a visit to their MAJESTIES, and returned to their respective resi dences. Yesterday Colonel Sir FREDERICK SMITH arrived at the Castle, on a visit to their MAJESTIES. _ _ This day the KING and QUEEN proceeded to Bushy Park. Their MAJESTIES were followed by two carriages and four, containing Lady BEDINGEIELD, Colonel HoaAcE SEYMOUR, Miss BAcor, Miss BOYLE, and Miss HOPE JOHNSTONE. Their MAJESTIES and Royal suite partook of an excellent luncheo❑ at Bushy House, and afterwards honoured with a visit Lord and Lady ALBEMARLE, at the Royal Stud House, with whom they dined and spent the evening. To-morrow (this day) their MAJESTIES will dine with the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, at Ba;shot Park. VAUXHALL GARDENS. Last night this popular place of public amusement closed a very successful season. The Gardens were in every respect well attended, and the numerous assemblage expressed the highest satisfaction at the entertainments, which went off with great eclat. Mr. W. H. WILLIAMS delivered the valedictory address, in which be thanked the company for the patronage the Gardena had received during the season, and pledged the proprietors to renewed exertions to merit public approbation in the ensuing year. The company received the address with great applause, and testified their approbation at that part of the speech which spoke of the liberality of the proprietors in catering to the public taste. DUBLIN THEATRE. This house will be opened the latter end of next week by Mr. CALCRAFT, with a very efficient company. Mr. KEAN, who has been engaged for a fortnight, will com mence with Richard 111. The next star which will shine forth after Mr. KEAN'S disappearance is Mr. Wm,- LACK. who will perform most of his favourite cha racters. Mr. FARREN is also engaged for a month, but will not commence his career just yet. Miss fIuDDAR,T, Miss CAWSE, and Miss FORDE, JOHNSON, HORNCASTLE, and STANSBURY, will also form part of the corps ; and Mrs. WAYLETT will visit Dublin early in the season. Mr. SHERIDAN KNOWLES'S TVife is to be performed with all the strength of the company shortly after the commence ment of the season. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LINCOLN RACES, SETT. 26.

PROSPECTS OF THE NATION IN RE GARD TO A NATIONAL GALLERY. LONDON, 1833. This is an extremely piquant and well-written reply to Mr. Wilkins's late defence of his plans for the erection of a new National Gallery, in which Mr. Purser, the architect (who is its author) shows himself familiarly acquainted with all the legitimate principles of architectural taste. The pamphlet contains, inter alia, much sound criticism on the higher branches of the art, which maybe perused with advantage by all who desire t o attain eminence as architects. The East India Company's ship Inglis, ar rived at Madras, on the 14th May, all well. The furniture which belonged to the Duchess de Berri at the Castle of Blaye is now in possession of a carpetmaker at Bordeaux, who is making his fortune by selling it at a very high price.—Petit CourrierdesDames. The Marquis of Hertford intends to remain in Italy some time longer for the benefit of his health, and will sojourn at Naples during the winter. The fami'y have been at his seat at Sudbury, where his private friends are invited occasionally to enjoy the amusements of shooting. The Devizes turnpike tolls were let on Mon day se'nnight for 2901. more than they obtained the pre- ceding year. It is now the fashion to have the paper of rooms varnished, which renders them both impervious to damp and much more lasting. Report says that the Commander of the Forces, Sir Hussey Vivian, is about to obtain the hand of Miss W—, a young and beautiful native and resident of this metropolis. The gallant officer is a widower, having been formerly married to the daughter of Sir C. Crespigny.—Dublin Paper. The daughter of the late John O'Keefe, Est i , the dramatic author, is abort to publish by sub scription the MS. poems of her deceased father. THE NEW PA L ACE.—The new works at the Palace, Pimlico, have progressed considerably this week. The portico is nearly finished in the wing pa rallel with Coostitution-hill, and a range of fluted iron pillars has been just erected at each side of the grand marble entrance, which now forms a handsome facade, hiding the recent alterations that otherwise would present an irregular and incongruous appearance. WIT OF A GOURMAND.-Your true gour mand is, generally speaking, without much wit. Mr. G , invited to dine with a lady, a scrupulous observer of etiquette, offered his services to cut up a brace of partridges. Instead, however, of doing so on the dish, he put them, for the purpose, on his own plate. " For whom du you intend your leavings ?" asked the lady in surprise. " Madam," replied he, " I do not intend to leave any," APPLES.—The crops of apples are this year everywher e so abundant that they are selling even in the neighbourhood of the metropolis at a shilling and eighteen pence a bushel. All importation, therefore, is hopeless, as the present prices will scarcely defray the freight. ERRATUNI.—The sum given by Count Demidoff for the painting of the Death of Lady Tine Grey ought to have been 20,000 francs (about 8001.) instead of two thousand francs. Boston and Philadelphia Papers to the 30th of Augu s t mention a violent earthquak e in Maryland, Virgini a , on the 27th ult., which did considerable damage. A coal pit at Dover, it is said, sunk in and destroyed forty-two negroes. These pipers bring accounts from Mexico to the 7th ult. The contending armies were both near the city. No battle had been fought, and it was expected some concessions would be made on both sides. YANKEE SPECULATION--A pedlar from Connecticut lately travelled through Virginia, shaking hands heartily with every one he met, whether they pur. chased or refwed his merchandise. Directly it was dis ccvered that to every one with whom he had shaken the friendly hand he had communicated the itch. Immediately after this discovery, another pedlar, his partner, came along with a good stock of sovereign itch ointment. It is, perhaps, needless to say, that he made large sales at a goo d per centa g N—Hertford Review. THE DUKE OF CUMBERLAND.—We un derstand that the definitive arrangements connected with the departure of his Royal Highness and family now are ri concluded. A Government steam-vessel will be in readi ness on Tuesday next to convey their Royal Highnesses to Calais, w h ence they procee d b y l an d to Berlin. The period of their return is doubtful. His Royal Highness, 77; it is thought, will return to this country in February next, to attend his Parliamentary duties in the House of Lords, leaving the Duchess and Prince George at Berlin. The Prussian capital was the illustrious Duke's place of abode for several years. Prince George was born there, and his Royal Highness has continued to support his establish ment in it since he came to reside here: The Duke and Duchess were at Windsor Pal ,ee the day before yesterday, and had a leng and confidential conversation with their Majesties. After partaking of luncheon they returned to Kew. Their Royal Hignesses will be accompanied to Berlin by the Baron de Graife, Lord Charles Wellesley, Sir John Slade, and the Rev. Mr. Jelf. DIPLOMATIC GOSSlP.—Another successor of Prince Talleyrand is talked of in the Duke de Bassano, one of the war ministers to Napoleon, who would not accept office under Charles X. On the other hand, Count de Flahaut is confidently mentioned if the Prince should not return. The Count, who is a personal friend of Louis Philip, has had several audiences of his Majesty since his return from Normandy. If, after all, the Count should be the new Minister, the large income which his lady draws from this country would be expended here. Prince Talleyrand's private fortune exceeds 30,000/., the greater part of which he spent in this country. Gen. Goblet, Belgian Minister for Foreign Affairs, is expected to leave town on his return to Brussels in a few days, in conse quence, as it is understood, of the suspension of the pro ceedings of the Foreign Conference. The expectation of the speedy return of the Dutch Envoy, Baron Van Soe len, front the Hague, is no longer entertained; and indeed it is understood that when he left town for the Hague, it was not with the immediate prospect of returning. Morning Herald. The statue of Mr. Pitt in George-street was uncovered on Tuesday, and the scaffolding removed from the pedestal. It is a very fine figure, and represents the statesman in the attitude of speaking, with a robe banging loosely around him, and thrown over his left arm ; in hi+ right band beholds a roll of papers. The likeness is said to be very striking.—Edinburgh Courant. The first public appearance of Lord Chan cellor Fitzgibbon (Earl Clare) was shortly after his being called to the Irish bar, upon a complaint preferred to the visiters of the University of Dublin concerning some in novations and abuses, the Members of the University Laving called on him to defend their cause. In this he acquitted himself so cleverly and satisfactorily that upon the next vacancy in the representation the electors returned him as one of their Representatives to Parliament. At Nantua, in the Aih, a few days ago, a gendarme was imprudently cleaning his carbine in his apartment, without taking the precaution to draw the charge, when it suddenly went off, and the ball passed through the lungs of his wife, who was engaged in the domestic affairs in the room, and she died instantly. T 1 e poor man became frantic, and would have destroyed him self, but he was restrained by some of his comrades, who took every weapon out of his reach.—French Paper. STATISTICS OF THE PAPACY.—Accord ing to an exact calculation the following is a classifica tion of the various countries to which have belonged the 256 Popes who have sat upon the throne of St. Peter up to Gregory XVI., the present Pontiff:—one seventeen Greeks, four Africans, six Syrians, one Sabine, sixteen Tuscans, two Dalmatians, four Sicilians, sixteen Neapolitans, two Sardinians, four Spaniards, seven Ve netians, eight Milanese, fifteen French, six Germans, one Lorranian, one Burgundian, five Genoese, two Piedmon tese, one Hollander, one Portuguese, one English, one Candiote, and 131 Romans, or belonging to the states of the Holy See.—La Lanterne Magique. EMBARKATION OF RECRUITS FOR POR TUCAL.—Yesterday morning the recruits enlisted within the last few days by the agents of Donna Maria mustered at the different depots in Westminster, and proceeded to the Neptune public-house in Adam-street, Rotherhithe ; and at one o'clock in the afternoon they embarked in boats for Gravesend, where a steamer was in readiness to receive them, which will sail immediately for Lisbon. Most of th,m appeared to be fine able-bodied men, and they were all in high spirits. The pay is to be 2/. ss. per month, and rations. After they bid all left the dif ferent places of rendezvous the agents commenced enrol ling as many men as they could get at the King's Head, Orchard -street, Bload way, Westminster, and they will also embark about Monday or Tuesday next. The Nlagistrates of Geneva, having lately received notice from the police of Paris that a notorious thief had reached Geneva in a handsome equipage, and was lodged at the Hotel Monthrillaut, the lieutenant of police, accompanied by gendarmes and officers, went to the house and sent up to desire he would come down to them. The gentleman, however, was at table, and refused to disturb himself. The police agent, upon this reply, hastened up to the room, left his gendarmes at the door, seized him by the collar, handcuffed him and led him off to prison. The fellow was so completely taken by surprise that, though he had placed a brace of pistols by his side on the table, he had no time to use them. The last robbery he committed at Paris is said to have produced him forty thousand francs.—French Paper. WORCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL, SEPT. 25.—The tickets received were, Choir 534—Chancel Gallery 730—total 1,264, making the receipts above 900/. ; on the same day at the last meeting the number present was only 1,064. The line of carriages extended from the Cathedral to the Cross, in addition to those in Edgar•street. The performance did not conclude natil half past three o'clock. Collections for the charity on Tues day, 2001. 9s. 3d. ; ditto, Wednesday 327/. 2s. 10d. In Tuesday's collection are included donations of 201. from the Corporation, and 10 guineas from John Phillips, Esq., of Edstone, Warwickshire. In this morning's collection were included 20 guineas from Lord Lyttleton, and a 501. note, the donor of which is not known. Yesterday's collec tion is less than that of the corresponding day at the last meeting by upwards of 150/. The presence of the Duchess' Kent and the Princess Victoria upon that oc casion will in a great measure account for the difference. In this morning's collection, however, there is an increase of 25/. above the same day in 1830. And as there are still two morning performances to come, we may hope that the ultimate result will be as beneficial to the charity as the last meeting. PUBLIC WALKS.—In Austria and France (says Mr. Stanley) there is scarcely a single town without a commodious public walk, shaded by trees, and furnished with benches. Throughout Switzerland the same remark applies, and there the situation chosen is frequently very picturesque, and the promenade is kept with that neatness for which the Swiss are remarkable. The most beautiful are the Cascinne, on the banks of the Arno, at Florence; the China Walk at Naples, possessing one of the most magnificent views in the world ; the promenade below the Strada del Po at Turin (whence the Alps clothed in snow are seen rising in a vast semicircle to the north and west), and the terrace commanding the lakes and the mountains of Savoy; and Chablais at Lausanne. But Zurich, Berne, Geneva, Basle, Milan, Parma, Modena, Lucca, Padua, and other Swiss and Italian towns, base each their public walks and gardens. Many of their walks have been formed and dedicated to the public by the munificence of individuals, and it seems extraordinary that our wealthy and generous nation, where popularity is of value and leads to power, should be excelled in these respects even by those who care little for the people, and have no part or lot with them. HOPS.---WORCESTER, SEPT. 25.—We had nearly 2,000 new pockets at market on the fair-day (Thursday), and so eager was the demand that 1,841 were sold, besides 41 old ; the prices of new varied from 51. 10s. to 71. 10s. ; the samples could not be bought under the latter prices, and some prime lots fetched Si. ; 1632's fetched 6/. to 61. 15s. ; very fine V., imd were much sought after. Many of the samples are very in different, though the quality generally rather exceeds ex pectation, especially where the planters have left them to get ripe, and have taken the trouble to avoid mixing prime and bad hops together. The result of the fair showed, that though the quantity of hops fell short of the planters' expectation, the prices will amply make up for the loss. On Saturday 1,247 new pockets were sold, realizing an advance of from 4s. to ss. per cwt. Of old, 97 pockets were sold ; prices as before. Our duty stands at 18,0001. The second moiety of the charged in 1832 will become payable next week.-- Worcester Journal. A private letter, dated Calais, yesterday, states that his Excellency Prince Talleyrand, the Duchess de Dino, and suite, arrived there on Wednesday from Dove, on board the Ferret steam snail packet, Capt. Hamilton. Tine Prince sst in his carriage during the voyage, and en tered very freely into conversation with Capt. Hamilton respecting the loss of the Amphitrite off Boulogne, and promised that on his arrival at Paris he would lay the subject before Government, and he bad no doubt that every attention would be paid to the present state of the custom and sanatory laws in France. His Excellency ap peared in better health and spirits, and was received on his landing by the Mayor and other municipal authorities. He left in the afternoon for the capital ; but previous to his departure, the Ch e f d e la DOUttIIV had an interview with him respecting the late fraud practised upon the Embassy and the English Custom-house. The Prince Iva , ' attended by the Duke of Wellington and the Marquis of Douro, from Walmer Castle to Dover. THE LATE ARRIVAL FROM CALCUTTA. —We are gla I to be etiabl , d to state that the respectable liaise in London that is connected with the establishment Colvin and Co., of Calcutta, that has recently suspended ire plyments, will not be materially affected by that event. The engagements of the house in question at Calcutta are y no means so extensive as those of the other firms that have recently failed there. Since this fsilure the Govern ment had offered pecuniary assistance to the remaining houses of business, but it is not stated to what extent that assistance would be accepted. It is understood that one house, that of Cruttenden and Co., had refuted to accept of any aid. The announcement of the failure yesterday did not create much sensation among individuals well informed upon the commercial affairs of India►. LIVERPOOL CATTLE SHOW.—Monday last was the day appointed for this exhibition, which took plac in the Old Infirmary-yard, Lime-street. Notwithstanding the unfavonrable state of the weather the attendance was numerous and highly respectable. Among the company we noticed the Duke of Richmond, the Right Hon. Secre tary for the Colonial Department (Mr. Stanley), Lord Molyneux, the Hon. Charles Stanley, Hon. H. Stanley, M.P., lion. Colonel Molyneux, Sir R. B. Bulkeley, Hart., the Mayor of Liverpool, W. Patten, Esq., M.P., and J. I. ltlackburne, Esq. The show appears to have been inferior to that of former years, in consequence, it was supposed, of an erroneous opinion prevailing among the farmers that prizes had in former years been awarded in a partial manner. A numerous party (about 650,) including the above noble and distinguished persons, afterw trds dined together in Lucas's exhibition room, at which Mr. Secretary Stanley presided. The usual loyal toasts, and also those relating to agriculture, were drunk, and the conviviality was kept up until a late hour. SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN SHOOTING Friday Lord William Beresford, who holds a commission in the 43d Light Infantry, at present with a detachment at Knocktopher, in Kilkenny, met with a serious accident while fowling in the neighbourhood of his station with a double-barrelled fowling-piece double cocked. Having discharged one side, and no object being in view, lie set about reloading the discharged barrel, keeping his left hand upon the muzzle of the loaded barrel, which unfortunately he bad neglected to uncock. In an unlucky moment it went off, and shot away the fore finger of his left hand. Surgical aid was procured as soon as possib!e, and his Lordship is doing fully as well as could be ex pected. Lord William Beresford is next brother to the Marquis of Waterford.— Waterford Mirror. AWFUL DEATH.—Yesterday an inquest was held at the Peacock, Holland-street, Southwark, on the body of John M irchant, aged 36 years, a respectable brickl iyer, residing in Gravel-lane, Southwark. On Monday morning the deceased, accompanied by some fel low-tradesmen, went into the skittle-ground of the Peacock public house, for the purpose of playing, and while in the act of delivering the ball to one of the players, was at tacked with a violent tit of coughing, after which he vomited a quantity of coagulated blood, and suddenly ex pired, before the arrival of Mr. Ilsrrison, a surgeon, who very speedily attended, and was of opinion that he had died from a rupture of some large blood vessel of the heart. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God." DA RING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.- On Wed- nesday night, Mr. William Dickinson, of No. 3, Munford court, Milk-street, City, was attacked near Angel-alley, Bishop gate-street, by three men, who hustled and robbed him of a gold watch, made at Liverpool, two gold seals, one with the initial " D" in the centre, and the other a crest with the rampant lion. BURGLARY.—O❑ Sunday afternoon, between three and eight o'clock, a mown occupied by James Clyne, a lodger, No. 3, Cherry Tree-court, Whitecross-street, was entered, a box broken open, and the following articles were stolen :—Three half sovereigns in a red pocket book, two pounds eight shillings in silver ; a blue waistcoat, with metal buttons, and a blue ditto, with a different sort of cloth. DARING ROBBERY NEAR LIVERPOOL.-- Information has been given to the police that on Monday night, about eleven o'clock, two gentlemen returning in a gig from Liverpool were stopped on the turnpike road in Great Sankey by six men, who appeared to come from a lane in the direction of the village of Penketb, and robbed of their watches and money. One of the gentle men had taken from him a patent lever silver watch, with a brown ribbon ; a gold seal, red cornelian, engraved W. F., and key attached ; a red leather memorandum book, containing letters and pipers, and about two pounds in money ; the other gentleman was robbed of an old tishioned silver watch, engraved on the outside case "John Wright," and on the inner works the maker's name, " Thomas Smith, Runcorn, No. 178," and some silver. Some of the men appeared to be dressed in round jtckets, and others in fustian or velveteen short coats, and to be of the description of persons usually called hawlers or navigators. FIVE PERSONS DROWNED.—A Coroner's Inquest was held on Tuesday, at Anthony Passage, on the bodies of two out of five persons drowned at the entrance of the river Lynher, in proceeding to St. Germans in a market boat that day. It appears that the sail of the boat was belayed, and an unexpectedly high gust of wind car ried the boat over, when eight persons were precipitated into the water. Through the prompt assistance of Mr. Veale and others, of SARA], who were crossing in the ferry-boat at the time, three were saved ; the rest perished. The names of those drowned were, Haddy, of St. Ger m ins, who owned and managed the boat; Moyse, and his wife, who was his sister ; Corry, a Bryanite preacher ; and Scott, employed to assist Haddy. Scott and Corry were picked up by a boat before they had sunk. Haddy and Moyse have been picked up since, and an inquest held on them. The body of Moyse's wife has not yet been found. The Right Hon. RP. Carew, on hearing of the accident, went immediately to the assistance of those rescued, and ordered the servants to bring blankets, and whatever else was necessary for their situation. Scott and Haddy have left large fatnilies, and altogether ❑o less than 24 children have bee❑ bereaved either of one or both p irents.—Plymouth Journal. Monday evening, the 16th instant, about 7 o'clock, the stack-yard of Mr. Chew, the overseer of the parish of Stoke, was discovered to be in a blaze, a hay rick having been set on fire. Very fortunately it was seen as it was just breaking out, and, the alarm being given, every requisite assistance was immediately on the spot, and it was extinguished without any material injury. Monday, the barn of the farm of Wren, in Llangendeirne, Carmarthen, filled with oats, the property of Mr. John Thomas, of Panteg, was discovered on firr. Every effort was used to stop the progress of the element, but the house was burned to the ground. The dwelling 'muse, which bad a thatched roof, was saved by stripping off the roof. It is supposed this was the act of an incen diary. The neighbours gave prompt assistance...)Jere.. ford Journal. On Saturday evening, the same day the Eaton Bray fire happened, the cow-house and hay-stack of an opulent farmer, tne surveyor of roads of the parish of Sduldbury, Bucks, about seven miles distant, were dis covered to be on fire ; they were at some little space from the village, standing in a meadow by themselves ; the ,seater part of the bay was saved, but the cow-house was entirely destroyed. That this fire was occasioned by an incendiary there cannot be the least doubt. On Friday night, the 13th inst., a fire broke out on the premises of a farm called Cowee Hall, at Wakes Collie, held off hand by Mr. Skingsley, jun. It destroyed a double barn and outhouses, 5 stacks of corn, 75 bead of poultry, 2 waggons loaded with clover, rib cootnbs of 1.2:1a5, and other property, amounting in value to upwards of 1,0001. The engines at Coggleshall were speedily despatched to the spot, hut there being no water at hand they were useless. The buildings were insured in the Essex Equitable, and the stock in the Essex Economic Office. The cause of the fire is not known. --‘CAelnisford Chronicle. Saturday, about noon, a barley stock Was dis covered to be on fire on the premises of Mr. Ringer, of Hcthersett, Norfolk, a respectable farmer. Mr. Ringer's stacks are arranged in a quadrangular form. The stack selected was the middle one in the middle row, and could not by possibility have been fired by accident at that t i i h o:: of day.
