General MA ROTO'S desertion of the cause of Don CARLOS is no longer doubtful ; but the report of the Pretender's flight to France is not yet con firmed. In the MGniteur of Sunday we find the following important telegraphic despatches from the Spanish frontier : Bayonne, Aug. 30, Nine A.M. The conference on the 26th of all the Carlist chiefs has produced a complete rupture between Don Carlos and M aroto. On the 27th Don Carlos took the direction of Estella, at,d Maroto went to Azpeytia, with only four battalions. A great agitation prevails in the provinces. Bayonne, Aug. 31. On the 28th Maroto arrived at Zumaraga. with four battalions. Espartero has caused Bergara to be occupied. Don C irlos was on the 29th at Larainzar ; be was expected at Elisondo. Moreno and Villareal gave orders to the troops. Simon Torre, with four Alavese battalions, and Siuriaga, with seven of Guipuzcoa, have not yet declared for any party. Don Carlos can only rely on the Navarrese. In the first of these despatches the French Go vernment has intentionally omitted two important facts communicated by the telegraph. We will not trouble ourselves to assign any motive for this system of garbling official communications, nor stop to inquire whether in the present instance, jealousy of British influence in Spain, or a tender regard for the interest of certain stock-jobbers, dic tated a proceeding which cannot be too strongly de precated. The despatch in question, as received by the French Government, runs as follows. We mark the suppressed passsages in italics : The conference held at Villareal on the 26th between all the Carlist chiefs was followed by a complete rupture between Don Carlos and Maroto. Oa the 27th DOG Carlos left fur Estella, and Maroto having ►uarchrd to Espeytia with only four battalions, opened thence a direct communication with General Espartero. An English Colond in the meanwhile repaired several times to the Cartst camp at Andoain. The gr,:atest agitatiOn prevailed throughout the pro vinces. It is confidently stated that the defection of MA ROTO has been precipitated, as he had pro- I posed, before joining ESPARTERO, to have brought to a court-martial and shot, the Carlist Generals ELIO, VILLAREAL, SIMON DE LA TORRE, ZA RIATEGUI, and such other officers as he suspected of a personal attachment to the Pretender. No one now doubts that his conduct in shooting the other Carlist Generals, so 1 01 ,-ily applauded by Mr. PETER BORTHWICK and Lord RANELAGII, was dictated by a previous i determiaation to ruin the cause which he pretended to espouse with so much ardour. We are even assured that but for the jealousy of France, which has layely endeavoured to thwart the plans of NIA RoTo, DOD CARLOS would have been before this safely lodged in the custody of Lord JOHN HAY. But when it became certain that the war could not be longer protracted, in consequence of the refusal of Russia to continue supplies to Don CA RLOS, and the divisions in the Carlist ranks, then France came forward, like the austere master in the Gospel, pre pared to reap where she did not sow, and to gather where she had not scattered. In fact we are assured that one of the objects of the French - Cabinet for the last month has been to deprive Lord JOHN HAY of the glory of conducting the final negocia tions for the surrender of Don CARLOS, and to induce the Pretender, if possible, to seek refuge in France, rather than on board a British ship of war. Already apartments for the Pretender and his family have been provided, by direction of IGl2neral HARISPE, at Bayonne, and if we may credit the French Journals of Sunday, the nego tiations for the surrender of Don CARLOS have been settkd by the agents of the two Governments. The basis of the arrangement is sufficiently simple. Don CARLOS, it is reported, is to reside at Rome, and to receive from Spain s Enaprriand pension for him self and family as France and may judge requisite for the support of his rank. We are very far from being actuated by any fe ei e csh l - i n gß of national jealousy in calling attention to tie hl facts, which appear to detract from the merit which France claims for the part she has taken in bringing the war in the Peninsula to a close. \v experience no pleasure in contemplating the con duct of France in an unfavourable light ; and it has always been one of the objects of this Journal to impress upon the public mind the sound p o li cy of maintaining the most amicable relations between the Governments and people of England and France. It is, therefore, from no spirit of partizan ship that we denounce as unworthy of the greatness of France intrigues such as we have alluded to in die first part of this article. With respect to the part England has taken in the Spanish contest it is too marked to be mistaken, and too impoitant to be overlooked by any party. Whether Don CA RLOS has actually surrendered to Lord JOHN HAY, as was generally rumoured in the City last night, or whether he contrive to shelter himself for a few weeks longer in the fastnesses of the Amescoas, is at this moment a matter of very little importance. The I LIf -T - e, 01.\ 0‘ 4 4,..i:i! ." •.1" it ,r , Icy•A-1 ,- -- - - '*/* 41 ,- F4r ) ! civil war, as a war, is virtually at an end. The Pretender's course is run ; and as be has . not the courage to expose himself to the chance of being shot, he must of necessity emigrate. His career has been marked by every atrocity which the friends of civil liberty throughout Europe antici pated from his treasonable assumption of the Royal dignity—for CARLOS dared not have stained the judicial bench with innocent blood had he not persuaded the dupes of his ambition to regard him as their lawful Sovereign. It is need less here for us to advert to our frequently expressed conviction as to the impolicy of the French and English Governments in not having taken active measures to eject the Pretender from Spain when h e first raised the standard of rebellion in the Basques. Our view of the question is now admitted to be correct by the statesmen who rejected it five y ears ago ; and were the negotiations for a pacification of the Peninsula now on foot to fail, we are assured that Louts PHILIPPE would be among the first to sanction the adoption of a plan of forcible inter vention. But while we condemn the excessive mo deration of our Government, which has cost us a great loss of money, and Spain an immense loss of blood, we may fairly claim for the British Cabinet the merit, such as it is, of bringing the war in Spain to a conclusion even at the eleventh hour. If Lord PALMERSTON has at no period of the contest done all that he might have done to crush the insurrection in the Basques, he has never for a moment appeared forgetful of the constitutional cause, never so acted or spoken as to convey the im pression that he was not heartily in earnest in doing what he did to animate the courage, and in crease the resources of the Regency. There was nothing desponding in the language—nothing , doubtful or evasive in the acts of the British Mi nister. This has made a deep impression upon the minds of many Spanish statesmen, and in the end it may turn out—should the news received last night be confirmed—that Spain will recognise in the forbearance of Lord PALMERSTON only a proof of British confidence in the unconquerable ness of Spanish patriotism. One good effect will follow from the long conti ; nuance of the war in Spain—namely, that the re membrance of the sufferings of the peasantry in the revolted provinces will deter them from ever again raising the standard of rebellion in favour of Don CARLOS, or any of his family. Had the partizans of the Pretender been suddenly crushed by foreign aid, they might have supposed that, left to themselves, they could at any time overthrow the throne of their lawful So vereign, and hence every year might exhibit, as in Portugal, a harvest of insurrections in the Basques. But once tranquilized, the experience they have had, both of the Government of the Pretender and the horrors of civil war, will prevent them from ever again being made the dupes of tyrants cun ningly inveighing against the invasion of their fueros. The Tory party seems quite disjointed at present, as much so indeed as the unfortunate followers of Do❑ CARLOS in Spain. The sympathy which has long subsisted between them has latterly been must striking. For the last few mouths every thing has gone wrong with the author of the bloody Durango decree. His followers have quar relled with him, and with one another— some have deserted, and some have turned their arms against their master and leader, and at last a gene ral dissolution of partnership has actually taken place. The same may be said of the Tory camp. One Conservative Paper disapproves of the pro ceedings of Sir GEORGE MURRAY at Manches ter. It complains that the Gallant Officer has not commenced the business of the election in a straight-forward and soldier-like manner. An other Conservative Journal has lately made two or three desperate attacks upon the great Con servative leader in the Commons ; the DUKE him self is not safe from their assaults, and is blamed for proffering his advice, and also his assistance, to carry on the Government of the country without regard to party or personal views or interests. Mr. GIBSON and Mr. BARING WALL, have left the camp, others seem inclined to follow their example ; and unless some new leader is chosen, or Sir ROBERr PEEL makes a new tack, the Tories must be split up into sec tions each with a leader of its own. The pre sent state of this party is the best answer to the late assertions of their followers, that while the supporters of Government were at war with each other, and seldom agreed on any one great question, their opponents were pulling steadily together, and only waiting till Court favour or the popular breeze should waft them into the Trea sury Bench. Some attribute this disunion, and not without reason, to the unsuccessful negotiations at Court, which ended in the rejection of Sir RO BERT PEEL. Had the Conservative leader, they say, shown any adroitness or tact, he would have established himself at once in the Palace, ingra tiated himself with the Sovereign, and waited for the fit time to dislodge those who might encourage whispers against the Government ; but, instead of that he would, like the Chartists, have all at once or nothing ; and, to the sorrow and lamentation of his sanguine followers, he got the last. One thing is certa►n, that this disunion never became so ap parent till after the luckless differences about the Ladies of the Bedchamber. Letters ar►d Papers from Madrid, of the 25th ult., have arrived. The QUEEN REGENT was in high spirits, as the Ministry were satisfied that the war in Spain was on the eve of being successfully terminated. It was reported that ALAN would resort to a dissolution of the Cortes should he find himself in a minority in the Second Chamber. By the arrival of the pack's ship Toronto at Portsmouth yesterday we have received New York papers of the 10th ult. inclusive. They bring an account of the surprise and massacre of a detachment of American troops by the Indians of Florida, which is likely to lead to the commencement of a war of extermination against these savages. This is a dreadful measure, but the New York journals seem persuaded that it is the only one to which the Government can successfully resort. Business was rather improving in New York in consequence of the prospect of a plentiful harvest. We subjoin the latest interesting news from Florida and the Canadian frontier in these papers : (From the New York Commercial A hertiser, Aug. 10, " BAD NEWS FROM FLORIDA. " The Charleston Patriot on Monday brings us the subjoined painful intelligence, furnished by its corretpon deut at St. Augustine : Office of 'the News, St. Augustine, East Florida,— August 3 11 o'clock a.m. " THE WAR RENEWED, " The folio xing account of the treacherous surprise of Colonel Harney's command reached here this morning by express. Colonel Gates, commanding east of the St. John's, has transmitted orde►s for immediate defence of the posts iouth:— _ _ _ " Assistant Adjutant-General's Office, Army of the South, Fort Brooke, East Florida, July 29, 1839. " Sir—lt becomes my painful duty to inform you of the assassination of the greater part of Lieutenant -Colonel Harney's detachment by the Indians on the morning of the 23d instant on the Coleosahatchie River, where they had gone in accordance with the treaty of Fort King, to esta blish a trading-house. The party consisted of about la men, armed with Cult's rifles ; they were encamped en the river, but unprotected by defences of any kind, and it is said without sentinels. The Indians in large force made the attack before dawn of day, and it is supposed 13 men were killed, among whom were Major Dalham and Mr. Morgan, settlers. " The remainder, with Colonel Harney, escaped, several of them severely wounded. It was a complete surprise. The Commanding General, therefore, directs that you will instantly take measures to Flee° the defences of Fort Mellon in the most complete state of repair, and be ready at all times to repel an attack, should one be made. No portion of your command will in future be suffered to leave the garrison, except under a strong escort. The detach. ment at Fort Maitland will be immediately withdrawn. Should Fort Mellon prove unhealthy and the surgeon re commend its abandonment, you are authorised to transfer the garrison, and reinforce some of the neighbouring posts. " I am, Sir, " G. H.

There is very little domestic news of interest in the Paris Journals of Sunday, the whole of which we have received. In another article we have given the substance of the latest news from Spain. The Journal des Debats quotes from the Augsburg Gazette letters from Constantinople of the 7th ult., to the effect that the Porte had conceded to ME-. HEM ET ALI the hereditary sovereignty of Egypt, and the Government of Syria and Candia, but that the Viceroy refused to give up the fleet before the dismissal of his old enemy CHOSREW PACHA. The Commerce gives credit to a report, cur rent in Paris, that the Russians had thrown a wooden bridge over the Danube near Silistria, and that 60,000 Imperial troops had crossed it on their march towards Constantinople Silis tria is distant 68 leagues from Adrianople, and 108 from the Turkish capital. A Russian fleet pre pared for the transport of 20,000 men, was ready to sail at a moment's notice at Odessa, so that the Russians were ready to attack the capital both by sel ani land. Although a Russian army was on the 14. h ult. approaching the Pruth and Lower Danube, we have every reason to believe that the account published by the Commerce is little better than a pure fiction. The Journal des Debats has an article on the affair of PL rtendic, for which we shall endeavour to make rco.n to-morrow. The King and Queen of the BELGIANS, with the Duchess of LEUCHTENBURG, are at present on a visit to the Royal Family of France, at the chateau of Eu, in Normandy. The following are extracts from the Paris Papers : There have been some disturbances amongst the Pari sian working classes. but which have no political object. The Gazette des Tribunaux has the annexed article on the sqbj:et t--" The deplorable excesses which took place on Wednesday and Thursday last in the Faubourg St. Antoine were r,newed on Friday with increased violence. The operative s, when they quitted their work, were kept in order by the presence of the municipal authorities, but at a late hour crowds assembled at different points of the Faubourg, and at the Place de la Bastile.— At ten o'clock the cries of Death to the foreign workmen,' were heard, and attempts were made to break into several manufactories and workshops, but with out success. The leaders then directed an attack upon the School of Brothers of the Christian Faith, where more than 200 Alsatian workmen are instructed in reading and wri ing. The building being barricaded, the mischief was confined to the destruction of the windows ; and a similar compliment was bestowed on the house of M. Laumond, Commissary of Police, who had rendered himself obnox ious by putting down the operative demonstrations. The police having arrived in force, about twenty arrests took place, and the precautionary measures adopted on Satur day give evcry hope that these disorderly measures will not be renewed." TUNIS, JULY 31.—The Tunisian corvette Thalia has re turned from Toulon. Sidi Mustapha, son-in-law of the Bey, and the Chevalier Raffo, his secretary, arrived by this vessel and have rendered an account to the Bey of the mission they have just fulfilled in Paris. Accordiug to the current reports this mission has been unsuccessful. The French Government persists in demanding the fortress of Keff, and the cession of the port of Bizerte for the pay. meat of the eighteen millions of pia:tres due to it. The Bey is very uneasy, but, however, he is not disposed to yield We find the following passage in a letter from Algiers of the 24th August, published by an Evening Journal : " Some persons think that the presence of the Prince Royal in Africa may perhaps be taken advantage of, to take possession of Collot Delys. As for the expedition to Hdmza, which was said to be the chief object of the Prince's visit, nobody now thinks of it, on account of the bad state of health of the troops of the division. The Jew Ben Durand, who has been sent to the Emir, has riot yet rt tuined, but news has been received of him.

Bank Shares —Allgemeine Zcitung, August 29 A Sermon preached by the Bishop of NouwicH in the Cathedral of that diocese, and addressed chiefly to the Chartists, has just been published, with his Lordship's permission. Though a very short sermon it conveys much useful instruction, and exhibits a kindliness of feeling, and an interest in the welfare of the poor, which are highly cre ditable to the Right Reverend Prelate. 'We only wish that some other Bishops would imitate his example, and instead of hold ing, what are properly called visitations in their dioceses, would turn the attention of their clergy to the real interests of the Church, and to the wants of the ignorant and afflicted poor en trusted to their charge. In addressing the hand loom weavers, many of whom it appears are Char tists, he speaks in these kind and affectionate terms My hearers, I have lived much and long amongst the poor, and, I trust, I have ever been to them as, in duty bound, a friend, anxious as an Englishman and a Chris tian minister to support their rights, and advocate the liberties of the people. I have always, in public and in private, through evil report and good report, defended their rights and their cause against whatever I thought unjust oppression. I have always felt for their dis tresses, and laboured, as far as in me lay, to relieve them. But I will not, to court their favour, or gain popularity, conceal my opinions, and refrain from speak ing the truth when I think it right, however unpalatable to them or to you. I know that many of you are in great want and poverty. I am aware that, of necessity, hand-loom weaving, for instance, is in a decaying state, and is a dying trade, and no one can more sincerely grieve that this should be the case than I can do ; and well can I enter into and excuse the feelings with which you listen to any wild and foolish scheme which pretends to better your condition. But what I wish to point out to you is, that if you were to follow the advice of any of these leaders your wants will not be one jot dimi nished, nay, rather, that your distresses will be increased a hundred fold. After adverting to the outcry that the operatives were deprived of their fair wages by those powers which skill, and science, and improved knowledge have invented, he says, " If this were true you are right in complaining, and I have nothing to say ; nay more, if I could convince myself you were right, you should not seek for a more devoted leader than myself, or one who would more heartily and actively support your cause." He then points out the means by which this com mercial country has been able to maintain her sta tion in the great market of the world, and alludes to the difficulties of keeping up the spirit and balance of trade, difficulties calling for the soundest judg ment, the most mature deliberation, the nicest skill in calculation, to settle and regulate. He, however, solves some of these difficulties very promptly,and in a way, too, which cannot fail to make an impression even on the most ignorant and most inexperienced. The f: , Pow:,ln two instaitee c.,f dilietildery iii or&it r iu provide tuipiuyith lip tur the poor, are forcibly stated, and cannot fad to have due effect on all those who entertain such a mis chievous doctrine:— I will give an instance or two to show the folly as well as wretchedness and want f..f true English spirit of those who would wreak their wickedness on their richer neighbours by destroying property or machinery, which they have no more right to touch than you or I have to enter into a poor man's cottage and destroy his little stock of furniture, or rob him of his industrious earnings. There was a time before printing was invented, w h en a ll b oo k s were written with pen and ink ; and those who wrote them had plenty of work and hi g h wages . Wh at hap pened when printing was discovered, and print ingtehme weavers n o w com plain, presses used ? Of course, that these writers play ; and they complained, just t e a t s hro s w u .n me out uf of and would, as I have heard them declare, do away with improvements. Had they succeeded, had printing be en forbidden, what would have been the consequence ? That the world would have remained in darkness and ignorance from want of books ; none could have afforded to buy them. For exam pl e , i ns t ea d of the beautifully printed and portable Bibles now to be bought for a trifl e , a l arge an d hem) , and often badly written copy of the Scriptures, would have cost not much less than 50/. ; and, of course, in stead of every man who wishes it having one of his own, as I hope you all have, all except the wicked and unbe lievers, there would not have been, I will venture to say, a single Bible in many of our parishes to this day. Again : take a plough, a harrow, a wind-mill, or a water-mill, for these are every one of th em mac hi nes b y which the labour of man is set aside. Suppose all the agricultural labourers in a county were to rise ; and, after breaking these plough s and harrows, and de stroying the mills, insist upon the farmer em ploying only labourers to dig the ground, rnd rake in the seed, and that th e corn s h ou ld b e ma d e into flour, ground as it was seven or eight hundred years ago by the poor ignorant people of this island, when the grain was pounded down into a coarse bad flour by bruising it between two stones. Do you think, can anybody possessed of common sense think, that the poor would be really better for this ? Certainly, a greater number of hands might for a short time be employed in digging, raking, and grinding ; but then, as a set-off, think of the quantity of land which, as a matter of course, would soon be thrown out of cultivation ; Lecause there was neither capital nor profit enough to pay for this far more tedious ,and more expensive mode of tillage ; aad what would happen to the poor ?—this, that his loaf would .cost hien twice or three times as much as it did. Our attention has been called to some observations made in The Sun on Friday, relative to the commit ment of a person charged with drunkenness at Queen square Office. The communication infers that probably there was some inaccuracy in the report, as the new Police Act does not authorise the Magistrate, as sup posed, to commit a party to prison for drunkenness only. The individual in ouestion, a drunken sailor, was ordered to pay a fine of 55., and having spent or lest all his money, and not being able of course to pay, he was ordered to be committed to the House of Cor rection for two days. The old law gave the Magistrates this power, and the inadvertence probably arose from the heading in the police report " The New Police Act." The enactment upon the subject is 2 and 3 Vic. c. 47, Sec. 58.—" That every person who shall be found drunk in any street or public thoroughfare within the said dis trict, and who, while drunk, shall be guilty of any rio tous or indecent behaviour, &c., shall be a liable to a penalty of not more than forty shillings for every such offence, or may be committed, if the Magistrate before whom he shall be convicted shall think fit, instead of inflicting on him any pecuniary penalty, to the House of Correction for any time not more than seven days:, MONEY AND COMMERCIALNEWS.

During the last ten days (say the latest papers) two more special surveys have been paid for, making in all ten, by which the la. bour fund is, as it ought to be, increased 40,000/ It is said that land is being purchased to a great extent in all directions. The policy of this is much questioned. The Gazelle announces the recent large importation of sheep and other stock. One fine flock of 1,000 ewes has just been landed in excellent condition. We have received Quebec papers to the 3d of August. The weather c intinued showery till last eveniog. We do not bear that the late rains have done much injury in this neighbourhood, except retarding the hay-making. The worm or maggot is very general in the wheat crops. The bailey and rye are also attacked. The British market continues in a depressed state, with rather a gloomy appearance day after day.

BOW.STREET.-(THIS DAY) • U:t ut 6 vi c: rnob ‘wrsous the entire the otor,,iii,g, so much so a; to rcnder the 61.rett tota!ly in constquctice of a number of persons, of all ages and sexes, b, kelt(' up et the btution-house, who were apprehended at a twop, nny theatre last niAbt After a few night charges r.rf no interest had been clis posed of, nearly the entire of the F divi , ion were in requi sititm in conveying the aucheto e toid actors, 411 in number, before the M-gistrates. The names of the latter wt,re, George Johnson, Henry Durent, John Booth, George Scrivens and Elizabeth his wife, Martha Knight, Mary Ball, John Frazer, El,za Tyne, John Jackson, M , .ry Sheran, and William Knockles. Mr. Super intendant Sendrock proved that pursuant to the written order produced, which he had received from the Commissioners of - Police, he went about half-past nine o'clock last night to a - house at the corner of Newton-street and Charles -street, Drury-lane, where ha found the per sons at the bar in the act of performing on a stage a dra m wic piece, entitled (as It appeared by the bill produced) iWury illanders. They were dressed in the stage attire as they , ppeared at the bar. Mr. Inspector Mullins corroborated the evidence of the last witnes,,. Mr. TWYFORD inquired if the house was a linens( d thr alre. Mr. Sandrock could not say that it was. Mr. TwYroan you must now prove that money was taken at the door on suffering the audience to enter the premises. Two elderly women, named Anne Thisleton, and Anne Hadon, not in stage attire, were then placed at the bar, on a charge of collecting money at the door. Serjeant Pocock proved that when he took the de fendant Johnson into custody, he admitted he was the stage manager in the absence of Mr Haden, who was in the country. Colin Forbes, another constable, proved that he took the basket produced, containing 172. I Id., with a quan tity of cheques, on which was printed 3d. pit. 2d. gallery, horn the two defendants, who were sitting in a recess in the passage. Mr. TWIPORD said that the Act under which the de fendants were charged was the 2d and 3d of Vic., chap. 47, by the 46th section of which any person knowingly letting a house or other premises for stage performances without being duly licensed, rendered himself liable to a penalty of 201., or two months' imprisonment, and every person performing, or being present during a rer tortnance, to a penalty of 40s. or one month. He was, therefore, anxious to know what excuse the defendants bad to make for their conduct. The defendant Johnson said that he had, with his bro ther and sister, been actors, and on his asking the proprie tor, Mr. Haden, if there was any danger, he assured him he was not breaking the law. The others made a similar defence, except Scrivens and his wife, who declared they were merely amateurs, and did not make their livelihood by such means. Mr. TWYFORD ordered Scrivens to be discharged with a reprimand, and the other defendants to pay each 20s. or 14 days' imprisonment. William Hardy, Joseph Brown, and ,Mathew Best, the mus/cians, were ordered to pay a like penalty, and twenty of the audience, whose ages did not exceed 17 years, were punished :in the same manner,l except such as were under the age of 15. Several of the audience were recog. nized as juvenile thieves. A communication was received from Lord John Russell acquainting the sitting Magistrate, that Mr. Hall, of Hatton. garden Police Court, has been appointed Chiet Magistrate, with a salary of 1,200/. a-year, in the room of Sir F. Roe, resigned ; and Mr. Jardine, the Barrister, second Magistrate, with a similar salary, in the room of Mr. Minshull, who retires on a superannuated allowance. Mr. Twyford, who his been a Police Magistrate seventeen years, continues to officiate as third Magistrate, w.th a salary of 1,000/. a-3 ear. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. (THIS DAY.) USING INSULTING LANGUAGE IN A STATION- HOUSE.-- A fashionably-dressed person, who gave his name William Shaw, was charged with having been found in Hanover square so much intoxicated that he was unable to take care of himself, arid a horse and gig he had with him. Inspector Beresford :-tated that the defendant while at the station-house made use of extremely abusive and in sulting language towards him. Mr. DYES said he believed that the public were not ge nerally aware of the power given to the Magistrates by the late Act to punish such conduct—with that view be should fine the defendant only 20s. (the full fine is 40s.)—The fine was immediately paid. TOWN HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Sir Peter Laurie did not take his seat at the Town Hall to-day, till nearly t A elve o'clock, although the hour ap pointed for the commencement of business is ten o'clock. The worthy Alderman sat but a short time, there being only two or three drunken and disorderly charges to dis pose of. UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Henry Wilkin, a very respectable young man, was this morning brought before Mr. JEREMY, charged by a Mr. Flecking with having robbed him last night, between nine and ten, of 7s. 6d. According to the statement of the complainant, he was going down Francis -street, Walworth, about a quarter before ten, and when he was between Hampton street and Hanover-street Wilkin came up to him, caught hold of his arm, stated that he knew him and his good lady, and that he was most happy to sec him in such good health. They proceeded on together, and shortly afterwards Hacking felt something at his pocket, and Wilkin ran off, and be pursued him. A friend of Mr. Hacking's stated that he saw Wilkin come up and speak to Hacking, and was surprised, after the familiar manner in which the former had spoken to the latter, to observe him pursuing him. _ _ _ Wilkin stated that Mr. Hacking was completely mis taken in the person, and that he had several witnesses to prove that it could not be him, as he was at a different part at the hour specified. On its being pressed by Mr. JEREMY, it was admitted on the part of Mr. Hacking, that he was the worse for liquor at the time the occurrence took place, and also that he had doubts as to whether Wilkiu was the man. Wilkin, on being called upun by the Magistrate, clearly proved, by several respectable witnesses, with whom he had been, that he was not in Francis•street at the time stated. Mr. JEREMY then immediately ordered him to be dis charged, at the same time observing that he thought the case ought to be carried no further, as it was clear that Mr. Hacking had been robbed, but it was equally clear that the robLery had not been effected by the party charged. He thought if Mr. Hacking was convinced of this, having already admitted that he bad doubts as to Mr. Wilkin's identity,: he was bound openly to express his sorrow for the inconvenience to which he hod gut the latter person. Mr. linking said he had doubts as to Mr. Wilkin being the person. Wilkin—That will not satisfy me. I have had no very pleasant night of it in the station-house, and I expect a full and open sta!ement that you are now convinced you were mistaken. lam determined I will not be hum bugged. Hacking not seeming inclined to accede to t' e wishes of Mr. IViikin , both parties left the Office accom panied by their friends, the latter gentleman plainly intimating that the business would not rest there. It is a rather singular circumstance, but according to the statement in the charge, that both the accuser and the accused live in the same street within 12 doors of each other. BIRMINGHAM.—A new scene will be presented to the Birmingham people during this week, namely, an inquiry into the origin of the late disastrous riots. All hope of a Government commission of Inquiry on that subject being given up, the Town Council have resolved to appoint a Committee to investigate the real causes of the in cendiary fires and destruction of property which took place here within the very last month. The people who were hitherto timid in coming forward to supply the necessary evidence that would lead to that informa tion are now giving notice of their intention to attend that Committee and render it all assistance. The Lumber of p rsons who have been injured by the London Police, and who, it is said, have expressed their determination to sub mit their cases to the Committee of Inquiry is most extra ordinary. and is scarcely credible. The enquiry will be limited to four days, and previous to its commencement a publie meeting will be held on Tuesday, in the Town hell. The Chartists appear to be by no mearsd scomfitcd be being prevented to assemble, as usual, at Holloway_ head. They are now holding their weekly meetings at Laurence-street Chapel, where the Convention sat. The female Chartists have their meetings on Mondays. GAME.—The sportsmen continue very success ful on rEe moors, and the number of boxes of game sent south is greater than we ever recollect. We must give up r.ll idea of chi onicling the memorabilia of the moors, as success is universal. On the moors of Corrybreugh there has been excellt nt sport, and Sir Francis Mackenzie in a few hours of one afternoon bagged 25 brace there. The Castle Leod party have forwarded a vast number of birds to the south. Lord Cardigan has suddenly left Cagle Leod for London, whence he will proceed to Can terbury to join his regiment. Lord Adolphus Fitzcla rence remains at Castle Leod. The game is abundant and well grown on the Ballindalloch moors. On Felder last, the 23d, Mr. Macpherson Grant killed 43 brace of grouse bttween ten A. at, and five P.M., using only oue gun, which he loaded himself; and or. the 20th the same gentleman shot 23 brace on the same moors after break fast.—lnverness Courier. ABSENCE OF MIND.—An individual in town, , after baying put or, his best apparel, told his wife that he was going to see St. James's Races, and as wives are in general very careful, she put a sixpence in his hand, and observed " there's or,e o' the brew new coin with Queen Victoria's head on it. I'll bae the tea ready by eight o'clock, and I'm sure ye'll be hame by that time." John, howeve., fell in with some friends, and a lengthened dis cussion took place on the rece horses and their riders. Several gills of whiskey were of course discussed, but in stead of coming hame to his sin canny wife, he wandered far and wide, and on awakening, found himself in Klimal. color Churchyard. On looking up, he saw a tombstone with the words " Memento Mori" engraved on it, which not being a Latin scholar, he thought it meant " remember Mary." His peculiar situation, and the anxiety of bis wife, struck forcibly on his mind, and he lost no time in retracing his steps, and reached home by 12 o'clock, to the no small joy of his wife, who had given him up for lost.— Paisley Advertiser.

The first was called the Scottish Chiefs, in which Bennett acted an old Manchester manufacturer, who has taken a Highland estate for a bad debt, and goes to live on his new property clad in a kilt as the Highland chief tain. A disapproved suitor of this old blockhead's niece, acted by Lee, disguises himself as a rival chief, an d threatens to cut the th roa t o f th e M anc h ester chief unless.his niece's hand is bestowed upon him. The old man consents, and this, with the addition of the terror of a maiden sister, who is frightened by stories about the Highlanders, singularly terrible and singularly dull, is the whole of a piece in which no character is por trayed (except a sketch of a wild Highlander played by Searle), no comic situation occurs, and no joke uttered. The other novelty, The First of September, was in finitely better than the first. The introductory scene of the two 'prentices talking together from the shop doors of their respective misters, and anticipating their sport on the following day, was highly comic and cha racteristic, and kept the audience is a roar. Oxberry and Attwood were the heroes of the field. The house was crowded. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. The southern sight-seeking population were highly delighted here last night by Mr. Ducrow's Tournament —an exhibition which they had the advantage of seeing without being drenched to the skin or compelled to go to Ayrshire for. According to the bills the pageant is taken from the chivalrous scenes at Ashby, as repre sented in Sir Walter. Scott's beautiful romance. But in fact it is merely a pageant, but as a pageant it is gay and gorgeous in a high degree. The scenery and acces sori.s of the whole exhibition are good, and in many parts perfect. The several performers did their utmost to represent with effect the characters they had to sustain ; and when at the close one of them cried out from the stage, " Success to chivalry and the Tourna ment at Astley's !" there was not a single voice of dis sent raised in any part of the house. After the Tourna ment, an elephant amused the audience by the feats he performed with his feet, tusks, and proboscis. He put himself into a dancing attitude, walked on his knees, hobbled along as if he was lame, and his last exploit was, by means of his proboscis and tusks, to raise up his keeper from the ground upon the latter, and bear him off from the arena, amidst the loud acclamations of the au dience. The house was very fully attended its every part, and all present appeared to be much pleased with the entertainments of the evening. The retirement of Lord Howick has naturally attracted much attention, and various surmises have been made as to its cause. It is unnecessary on our part to disclaim any official information on this subject, but we may most safely repudiate the absurd nonsense put forth by some persons that his Lordship's resignation is to be attributed to the fact of his bring a more active and a more Reformer than the other Members of the Cabinet. His speech on the ballot ought (one w o uld su pp ose ) t o silence that supp os i t i on, but nothing can silence or satisfy faction. Then, again —and here we are merely the reporters of political gossip—it is said that his Lordship was so much the creature of caprice (some call it inferiority of temper), that he must necessarily impede the %corking of any Government. This we utterly disbelieve. Connected with the retirement of Lord Howick, we must notice that of Mr. Charles Wood from the Chief Secretaryship of the Ad miralty. It has been stated, over and over again, that Mr. Wood was to leave the Admiralty for some higher appoint ment. We know of no appointment for which Mr. Charles Wood would not be adequate ; but he declines office alto gether; and although we cannot but respect the feelings which prompt that gentleman to retire from the Govern ment, namely, his intimate family connexion with Lord Howick, we cannot but lament on public grounds that her Majesty should thus be deprived of the services of one who has, during the past Si:ssisn, in his splendid exposition 0' the nay .1 administration of this country, proved himself to be a man of the highest order of political ability, and who is well and a ffectionately esteemed by all who have ever load the good fortune of intimate relation with him. Observer. SINGULAR DEATH.—On Wednesday last an inquest was held at Ely, on the body of M art h a Day, a girl ahout thirteen years of age, whose d ea th occurred on Tuesday afternoon, under very extraordinary circumstances. I t appeared in evidence that about °Le o'clock on the was heard to c a ll out f or her mother, who on going he e r immediately, f oun d her standing on a low branch, or crutch of an apple-tree, in the orchard adjoin ing the house; and on lifting her down from the tree, she could not stand, and appeared to have lost the use of her limbs, and before she could he carried into the house she expired. A post mortem examination was made hy Messrs. Muriel, when it was discovered that by some cause a disk cation of the first vertebras of the neck had taken place, which had coused total paralysis of all the parts below the injury, and almost instant death.—Verdict accordingly. The deceased was in perfect health, and was gleaning about a quart er o f an h our before.—Cambridge Chronicle. EVENING EDITION' P t TITICITI...RS OF TIE WEL LINin'oN FEsTiVAL, NOP NOTICED IN TIDE REPORTS. ( From a Correspondent of the Times.) The Duke was receiled at the Maison Dieu by the INLyor and Recorder of Dotter, and conducted by them through a double line of noblemen and gentlemen (who w. re &,semlileil to welcome the Duke, and to sit in the ehairtn.:ri's gallery) to an apartment magnificently fitted up for the occasion. Here the requisite introduction to I,is Grace took place of the noblemen and gentlemen al-o were to sit on the dais, or chairman's gallery. The iirchitect (Mr. Edmunds) was also introduced to hi, Grace by the Mayor of Dover, and bad the ho nour of presenting to him a manuscript volume of plans and drawings exhibiting every part of the building, which his Grace was pleased to accept. The whole of the company being then assembled in the body of the pavilion and the ladies' gallery, the, Duke, preceded by the Speaker of the Cinque Ports, was then conducted by the architect through the body of the pavilion to the chairman's gallery to his seat, and in like mariner at the close of the entertainment was con ducted back. The dimensions of the pavilion are as follow : Feet. Length Width l2O lit igbt to eaves of side roofs 22 ---- to top of side-roofs and bottom of lantern 38 to top of lantern and bottom of centre roof 4B ---. to top of centre roof 5B The building was divided into five ailes, the centre being 45 feet wide, and 48 feet high, the sides being N feet and 18 feet respectively, and averaging from 38 to 22 feet high. As the company had to be received by three o'clock, it was necessary that the pavilion should be arranged for daylight as well as gaslight, and in consequence the centre roofing, rising ten feet higher than the sides, permitted the introduction of a series of transparencies, extending 400 feet in length and ten feet in height, to admit light, containing a rich architectural bo►uer or guellochi, with the arms of the various to e ms of the Cinque Ports, and a variety of characteristic emblems. The lighting of the gas was arranged by the ringing of a bell by the architect, which was the signal for five men to go to their posts to be prepared to turn on the gas, and in three minutes afterwards, when the architect rang the bell a second time, the gas was lighted at once from eleven chandeliers most brilliantly, and as it hart pened to take place at the moment the Duke rose to return thanks, the effect was electrical, ADDRESS OF MEHEMET ALI TO THE PACHAS OF THE OTTOM:`,/i EMPIRE. It has no doubt come to the 'knowledg e of your Excel lency that the Sultan Medschid Khan, our lord, has ascended the throne which his venerable father occu pied, who has been called to a better life. When I learned this glorious event, I fired salvos of artillery for three days from the fort of Alexandria and the Get., in this port, and I ordered my well-beloved son, him Pacha, and all the other governors of provi'acee, to have prayers said in the different mosques The Seraskier of the East, Hafiz Pacha, excises b y en treaties of Kosrew Pacha, and conformab).y to orders which he had received, fomented disor,ier s in the district of Aintab. For the purpose of spar.ng tdussulman blood I conscientiously avoided giving any motive for renewal of hostilities, and I so wrote irequeney to my son. But as, however, Soliman, the Pacha of Marasch, w a s put into possession of Aintab, and as I had every reason to believe that all the fine fruits of the beneficent son of our powerful Sovereign, thanks to my zeal and constant efforts, would be destroyed, I resolved, though with grief and tears in my eyes—l ordered my courageous son to give battle, and immediately after victory to cross the Euphrates ; but scarcely had the news of the coming. to the thrune of Abdul Medschid reached me, I, without waiting for any of ficial announcement, said to myself, let all that has passed be passed. I pole immediately counter-orders to my son not to pursue the course of his glorious success after the victory of Nezib, and to bring back the army ov er to the other side of the Euphrate's if it had passed the riser. I addressed then frequent prayers to God, that he would take under his protection our beloved Sove reign, giving him days without end, and that his faithful servants, great and small, might live under his paternal shade. But then a man rose up, Kosrew Pacha, firs t cause of all the evils which have fallen on the empire. Profiting by the circumstances which embarrassed us at the moment, he seized upon the high post of Grand Vizier, and his first ordinances proved to me that he exercised his functions in the most arbitrary manner. Kosrew has never done any good for the nation or the throne, and all his life presents a series of actions fatal to the State, to the people, and to me. The Admiral, Achrnet Pacha, is the first who has judged the future actions of this man by his former acts. " Kosrew," said he, " is a dangerous man ; and shall I, under the circumstances in which we are placed, put the fleet which the Sultan confided to me, after having formed it with so much pains and expense, into the hands of a man who will soon destroy what has cost so much ? No, no ; I would sooner go to Alexandria ; the two fleets of the empire shall then be united ; that is the best means of serving the Sovereign and the nation." The officers of the fleet partook the sentiments of their chief with common consent ; the signal to sail was made, and we saw within eight days 25 imperial ve ssels display their colours in the roads of Alexandria. - The Capitan Pacha was received by me with all the honours due to his rank, and he continues to be treated with great respect. As for me, old and faithful servant of the empire, I could not resolve to see Kosrew Pacha take in hand the helm of the state, my duty commanded me to write to him as I did, and 1 charged Akiff Effendi tag deliver him a letter, in which I requested hien to resign. I' wrote at the same time to the illustrious aunt and glorious mother of our lord, to the Schiele In Islam, incorruptible defender of the law, and to the noble Ali Pacha, brother-in-law to the Sultan, ►praying them to take into consideration the deplorable; situation of the Mussulman nation, and to turn Kosrew Pacha out of the Government. The sincere friendship which has always bound me to the Pachas devoted to, the in terests of the empire, has engaged toe to make known my conduct, and to make them acquainted with a ll I have done. Believing your Excellency to be one of the most powerful and most faithful, I have sent you this letter by one of my agents, and I hope you wily join with me in getting rid of Kosrew Pacha, Ste.
