Dutch and German Papers arrived this day, and th e following are their contents : lia.mßunon, AUG. 3.—A. letter from Vienna, of t he 25th July, says, The curiosity and at ten,. "on of the public here are chiefly directed to th e tendency of the affairs of Greece and Turkey, Ithi ch appear to become daily more and more co rn Plicated. We now learn that the Note which tag b een sent on th e - part o f R uss i a to t h e S u bli me e requires • $ rt 1 . The rebuilding of all the Christian churches that have been destroyed throughout , the whole Ottoman empire. 2. That all Christian subjects and inhabitants df the Ottoman empire shall be protected in the rights and privileges secured to them by the most solemn Treaties. 4 3. That a difference shall be made between the rebellious Greeks and the peaceable and in nocent individuals of that nation ; and that the latter shall not be treated like the former, be cause they speak the same language and wear the same dress. ' 4. That every thing in Walachia and Mol davia shall be replaced, as soon as possible, upon the footing agreed upon by Treaties.' " A satisfactory answer from the Porte to these demands is required in a certain time—it is said within 10 days. As the Dispatch was sent from St. Petersburg on the 28th June, and would probably arrive at Constantinople between the 10th and 12th of July, we may expect to learn in a few days the result of this step. " STRALSUND, AUGUST I.—According to ac counts from Stockholm of the 28th of July, his Majesty the King intends to endeavour to obtain from the Norwegian Diet the right of the reto, with respect to the future regulations of the as sembly, and that this is the chief object of his Majesty's present visit to Norway. It was hoped that the majority of the Diet would agree to the King's proposal, in order to restore the equilibrium between the' Legislative and Executive powers. " On the 24th of July Mr. Butgow, belonging to the Russian Embassy at Constantinople, ar rived here express from that city ; he had passed through Berlin, and proceeded / by sea to Stock holm. He must have been the bearer of impor fant dispatches. The Russian Ambassador, Mr• Von Suchtelin, immediately had a conference with the Minister Von Engestrom. The latter sent a Courier to the King. Mr. Von Suchtelen went on the 28th with the Counsellor of Lega tion, Bodisco, to the Minister Mr. Von Welters tacit, and it was thought that he would follow the King to Norway. It was supposed that the King of Sweden would make the voyage from Gottenburg to Norway on board a Frigate. " BRUSSELS, AUG. s.—The Crown Prince of Russia is arrived at Spa. It is affirmed that the King of England will pay a visit to .he King of the Netherlands about the middle of September, and that his Majesty will reside at the Palace of Lachen. CC NUREMBURG, AUG. ,I.—A report, derived from commercial letters, was yesterday in circu lation here, that Baron Strogonoff had fallen a victim to the fury of the Turks. We hope that this melancholy intelligence will prove un founded. " FRANKFORT, JULY 27.—Very little doubt is now entertained here, even in the higher circles, that Russia, by a rapid and powerful interference, will put an end to the horrible scenes in the Ottoman empire. It is affirmed that this will be done not only in concurrence with the other members of the Holy Alliance, but even with the consent of England. This interference might lead to the establishment of a separate indepen dent Christian Monarchy, formed of the European Provinces of the Ottoman Empire,' and thus the vacuum would be filled up, which the weakness of the Ottoman Government has caused to be long felt in the political system of Europe, and which cannot be remedied except by the founda tion of a powerful State in the south-east part of this portion of the globe." Should it please PROVIDENCE to bless the country with a favourable season, the crops now on the ground, though the completion of the har vest will be unusally late, are expected to be abundant and of good quality.—Whatever may be the consequences to the farmer, it is still matter of joy and thankfulness that our fields every where smile with the bounteous products of the earth, presenting the glad assurance that the means of subsistence for all classes of the people are again plentifully provided for.—We have said, whatever may be the consequences to the farmer;—for, unfortunately, plentiful bar vests, —those blessings which ought to rejoice the hearts of all,—have ceased to be a source of gladness to him. If his crops should fail, the opening of the ports,—the pouring into the mar ket of the immense quantities of grain now locked up under the warehousing system, — and the further influx of foreign corn from the Continent,—prevent him, (happily, however, for the people at large), from obtaining such a price, as to compensate for the scantiness of his pro duce. If his crops, on the other hand, are abun. dant, the redundancy of the home supply has the same effect; and the depression of price occa sioned by an excess of production, inevitably fixes him, tor at least another year, in the ruinous situation to which he has already for some time been reduced. It is evident that there is something essentially wrong in our social system, which thus places the interests of the Public, and the interests of the Cultivators of the Soil, in opposition to each other. If the occupation of a farmer is only profitable, when, either from artificial scarcity, or some other cause, it is difficult for the mass of the peo ple to obtain bread ) —and if the same impor- Cant occupation becomes unprofitable or ruin ous, the motnent that agricultural entetprise and skill have succeeded in enriching the country with plenty,—it is high time that so great and mischievous an anomaly should be remedied. Mr. OWEN has proposed to effect this great improve ment in our domestic economy by rendering the price of agricultural produce an object of subor dinate importance to its abundance ; and yet at the same time to afford higher rents than are now paid to the landlords. We see clearly that this is one beneficial result which would certainly flow from the adoption of Mr. OWEN'S plans ; and if those plans were productive of no other advantages, this one, alone, is great enough to induce a favourable attention to his propositions. Lord GREY'S arrival at Warren's Hotel, and Lord LAUDERDALE'S sudden departure to see His MAJESTY, has revived the rumour of some change being contemplated in the Administration. Extract of a Letter from Shrewsbury, dated August 8, eleven o'clock, Pat- 44 The Earl of LAUDERDALE has just passed through this city, on his route to Lord ANGLEsEA's seat at Plasnewodd, having left London at six o'clock in the morning. .So urgent was considered to be his desire to have an interview with his MAJESTY, whom he there expected to meet, and so rapid was the disposition of his movements to effect this object, that his Lordship did not suffer himself to remain longer than two minutes (the extraordinary quick time of changing horses) at the Lion Inn, taking with him in his carriage a trifling par ticle of refreshment." The Morning Paper from which the first ac count of the melancholy occurrence at Boulogne stir-Mer was taken, (which we have already in serted) has since published the following. article : TO THE EDITOR. Sin,—l have only this moment seen an account, in the paper of this day, of an unfortunate rencontre at Boulogne-sur-Aler. I have myself received a different account of the transaction from a person who was present, and have seen a person from thence. Both these accounts lead me to believe the wounds inflicted were in self-defence. The public is therefore requested to sus pend its judgment until the circumstances of this unfortunate case are known. I am, Sir, your humble Servant, August 9. A. B. [FROM ANOTHER MORNING PAPER.I We have the most positive authority to contradict the para graph which we, in common with other Journals, copied from an Evening Paper, purporting to give an account of a transac tion said to have occurred in the house of Mr. Webster -Wed derburne, at Boulogne-sur-Mer. As we are led to expect an official document upon the subject, and as it will probably be come matter for a legal process, further comment at present is unnecessary. Important advices were received yesterday from Mexico, by a vessel which sailed on the 9th ult. from Havannah. Col. lIEvIA, the com mander of the Royalist troops, had been killed in an attempt to carry by storm a strong post near Puebla, held by the insurgents ; and his fate had struck so much terror into his troops, as to threaten the most fatal consequences to the royal cause. Of the state of the interior no cer tain intelligence could be obtained, as the com munications between Vera Cruz and Mexico were completely interrupted. The Governor of Vera Cruz had sent to Havannah for a reinforcement of troops, not considering his garrison sufficiently strong to support the expected attack of the in surgents. The merchants and rich families at Vera Cruz were in the greatest alarm_ and confu sion. Their whole property, in goods and mo ney, to an immense amount, was. packed up ready to be shipped off for Havanna and other ports, on the approach of the insurgents. A letter from Dusseldorff, dated the 29th of July, positively contradicts the report of the as sassination of Prince'lionENLonE. The report arose from the declaration of a student, that he would assassinate the Prince wherever he met him. Some transports, with the 51st regiment, ar rived at Corfu from England, previous to the 10th July ; and two British frigates, and three sloops, with about 300 troops on board, sailed from Zante 29th June, and steered towards Patras. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of CLA... RENCE visited the Duchess of KENT, at her resi dence, at the King's Palace, at Kensington. The Duke of SAXE MEININGEN took an aquatic excursion down the River Thames yesterday. On Thursday afternoon Mr. HILL, the King's Messenger, left town with dispatches , for the KING and the Marquess of LONDONDERRY, sup posed to be those brought by Mr. NICOLAY, the Extra Messenger, from Sir W..A'CounT, the Minister at Naples. Yesterday Mr. MATES, the King's Messenger, left town with dispatches for the KING, at Dublin. Lord STEWART, our Ambassador at the Court of Austria, has arrived at the Pulteney Hotel, Piccadilly. Mr. THOMAS, of the Lord Chamberlain's Of fice, went to Brandenburgh House on Thursday and yesterday, to make arrangements and to give directions respecting the funeral of the QUEEN. The Dowager Countess of MEXBOROUGH, we regret to state, departed this life at half past ten o'clock on Thursday evening. BRIGHTON, AUG. 9.—Yesterc'ay was a day thoroughly damp ; it rained ince'santly, and scarcely a fashionable was seen abroad. The Duke of Ironic was walking in the town this morning, and on horseback in the afternoon. General MUNDY and Colonel DE BURGH, have the honour of dining with his Royal Highness to-day. The QUEEN'S death, an account of which reached us early yesterday, occasioned a similar sensation in all parts of Ale town—every countenance seemed to express," May her faults die with her, and not be remembered in her epitaph." His MAJESTY was so pleased with the falcons which his Grace the Duke of Alruot. presented at the Coronation, that he ordered them again to be produced at the Levee. The birds arrived again in Greenock last Wednesday, by the Superb steam boat, on their way home. They are de scribed as having an extremely fine appearance, and their venerable keeper is to exhibit his skill in falconry when his MAJESTY visits the Duke of ATHOL. STRIKING INSTANCE OF THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE NAVIGATION OF THE CLYDE.—The fine American brig Superb, of 228 tons burden, ar rived on Friday, at the Broomielaw from New York, with a full cargo, chiefly cotton. This is the largest foreign vessel, fully loaded, that has come up to Glasgow. She is said to be intended for a regular trader between New York and Glasgow.—(Edinburgh Star.) MERCANTILE SHIPPING, Sc. It is with feelings of regret that we have to record an acci dent of the most disastrous kind : the HOylake Life Boat has just arrived, full of passengers, saved ,from the wreck.of the Earl Moira, which sailed last night for . liublin,.and which WaS lost early this Morning on the Waif Bunk.—The number lot cannot now be accureteiy stated ; it is reported that from thirty to forty have perished.--:-(Liverpool Paper, Aug. 9.)

YARMOUTH, AUG- 10.—On the Bth inst. the Urania, Fair burn, from London to Shields, struck on the Cross Sand off this port, where she beat off her rudder, but has since been brought in here to repair. The East India Company's- ship Waterloo 'Sailed from St Helena, on her voy‘te to Bombay, on the Bth o: June. GREENLAND FISHERY. HULL Atm. 9.—A Litter was received this morning by Messrs. G. and J. Egginton, from Scarborough, stating that the Perseverance had passed that port, a, - full ship, and gives an account of the following ships belonging to this port ;—Abram, 3 fish, 43 tons ; Cicero, 7, 83 tons ; Cyrus, 7, 80 tons ; Dor don, 4, GO tons; Evirthorpe, 11, 190 tons; Exmouth, 1 ; Eagle, 5, CO tons; Gardiner and Joseph, 7, 80 tons ; Har mony, 3, 50 tons ; Jane, 1 ; Manchester, 3 ; Laurel, 7, 80 tons ; Mary and Elizabeth, 1 ; Mercury, 13;160 tons ; Nep tune, 5, 80 tons ; Rachel and Ann, 4, 30 tons ; Shannon 2, 30 tons; Trueloves 3, 50 tons; Trafalgar, 7, 75 tons ; Unity, 5, 40 tons ; Walker, 2, 33 tons ; William Farr, 5, 50 tons. PORTS3IOUTII, Aug. 9.—This morning orders were received for his Majesty's ships Glasgow, Capt. DOYLE ;. ryne, Capt. J. K. WHITE ; and Rosario sloop of war, to proceed immediately to Harwich, in order to receive the remains of her Majesty the QUEEN on board, to be conveyed to Cuxhaven. The Glasgow was getting ready to receive Sir EDWARD PAGET on board for the East Indies. She. will return again to this port for that purpose. At half-past four they were out of sight, with a fair breeze; they will be at Her:- wich early in the morning.—Agreeably to orders received from London, the royal standard was hoisted half-mast high on the bastion. as also at the dock-yard, and gun-wharf, and the pendents of all his Majesty's ships and vessels in the port were lowered. This morning arrived the Spey, Capt. Boswell, from the Me diterranean. She is gone down to the Nlotherbank until she re ceives Fatigue. Also the Abundance store-ship, from St. Ile, lena, with the remainder of the 66th 'regiment on board. His Majesty's ship Tartar Was at the Island of Ascension When the Abundance left. Sir Geo.. Collier was, we are happy to state, at that time in the most perfect health. He has captured several slave-ships, having on board nearly a thousand slaves. The eartar is expected at the latter end of this month. She comes by the way of Jamaica, and the Duke of Manchester accompa nies Sir George home from thence. Yesterday arrived the Ocean transport, Lieutenant Madge, agent, from Halifax, with the remainder of the 15th regiment , who landed, and marched to join head-quarters at Fort Cum berland. • • The Reverend D. Lloyd is appointed Chaplain of lleslar (.Hospital. PORTRAIT OF HIS MAJESTY.—InS MAJESTY, immediately after his Coronation, commis-ioned Sir T. LAWRENCE, President of the Royal Aca demy, to paint a new Portrait of him in his Co ronation Robes, and seated in St Edward's chair, with the Crown of England upon his head, and the Sceptre in his hand, as he appeared enthroned in the Abbey. The Picture, which is of great magnitude, to admit the various concomitants, is already far advanced, and probably will be the most successful from the pencil of the President. It promises far to excel in magnificence and splen dour the famous Picture of the POPE, by the same Artist, belonging to his MAJESTY. When finished, it is the , intention of his MAJESTY to present duplicates of it to various Corporation [Jails in the United Kingdom. MISS BYRNE.--We are sorry to learn that this Lady, who appeared as a vocal performer at Drury-Lane Theatre, died last week in Dublin. She was of a good family, which had sunk in life, ald she meritoriously employed her talents in support of it, The. Portuguese Cortes have addressed a Procla mation to the inhabitants of Brazil, calling upon them to dispatch Deputies to assist in completing the frame of national Representation. The great difficulty of both Spain and Portugal is colonial arrangement; and this difficulty is so connected with the nature of continental colonization, as to be nearly immoveable. At a meeting of the Corporation of Hereford, on Monday, CHAaLES HoNiArr, Esq. was elected Mayor for the ensuing year. The Members of the Body afterwards dined together, and were honoured with the company of the Bishop, Earl Somers, Lord Eastnor, the Hon. S. Cocks, M.P., R. Price, Esq. M.P., the very Rev. the Dean of the Cathedral, &c. Sir L. V. PALK, Baronet, saved 'the life of a fine boy, yesterday week, who fell into, the sea on the outside of the pier-head, at Torquay, in Devonshire. He instantly jumped into the wa ter with his clothes on, and swam safely with the child on shore. The cutting of peas, oats, and barley, has com menced in several parts of Kent; and should the fine weather continue a few days, the reaping of wheat will begin. ii.GISTER OF FASHION.

Verdict—" Accidental Death." CHILD au RN 1:1). T DEATH.—On Thursday night an Inquisition was taken at the White Horse public-house, St. Martin's-lane, before Mr, flinGs, Coroner, on the body of Edward Pock nel I, aged two years and ten months. The deceas ed was the son of Mr. Pocknell, who keeps the shell fish warehouse, opposite Saint Mar 7 tin's Church. On last Tuesday evening, bet Ween nine and ten, the nursery maid had undressed him, and was taking him up stairs to bed ; when she got to the lauding place near the second floor, she heard the Doctor had entered the kitchen on the first floor, where Mr. Pock nell's youngest child, who was unwell, was. She then put down the light,and left the deceased there, whilst she ran down stairs to the Doctor to tell him about the other child. The Doctor did not stay longer than two or three minutes.— Soon afterwards the servants in the kitchen heard the deceased scream ; the nursery-maid, who had then the youngest' child in her arms, exclaimed, " I should not wonder if Edward has not set himself on fire." Upon this the other servants ran up and found him in flames ; his night clothes being on fire. The flames were immediately extinguished, but the poor child was so severely burned, that notwithstanding every medical aid, he expired on Wednesday about noon. The Coroner and Jury thought no blame could attach to the nur'ery maid. Verdict— ,'" Accidental Death." An Inquest was taken on Thursday, at the Cock Inn, Sutton, Surrey, before M T. JEMMET, Coroner, on the body of O'Leary, the boxer, who fell in combat with Cooper, the Gipsy, on Tues. day.—Verdict, " Manslaughter against Cooper." The Assizes for the County of Devon com mence this day at Exeter. The' calandar con tains the names of 71 prisoners for trial. At Dorchester Fair, on Monday last, about 8000 sheep aid lambs were penned ; the latter, in the early part of th e day, did not produce more than 6s. per head,' and sheep about 1/. each, but in the afternoon rather better prices were obtained.
