EVE N INC 4 EDITION. PARLIAMENTARY PAPER, lIONVIETIOX BETWEEN HER MAJESTY AND Tfil KING oy THE FRENCM, DEFINING AND REOULATIN• THE LIMITS OP THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT OF THE OYSTER AND OTHER FISHERY ON THE COASTS OF GREAT BRITAIN ♦ND 01 FRANCE. Signed at Paris, August 2, 1839. Whereas his late Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and his ➢Majesty the King of the French, appointed in the year 1837, a Mixed Commission, for the purpose of ascertaining and defining the limits within which the subjects of the two countries iv3spectively should be at liberty to fish for oysters between the island of Jersey and the neighbouring coast of France : And whereas the Commissioners so appointed have agreed upon certain lines, as marked in a chart hereinafter referred to, as the limits above-men tioned, and have also agreed upon certain arrange ments which they conceive to be calculated to pre vent the recurrence of disputes, which have at various times arisen between the fishermen of the two countries: It has been deemed expedient by her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Bri tain and Ireland, and by his Majesty the King of the French, that the limits agreed upon, and the arrangements proposed by the said Commissioners, should be recorded and sanctioned by a convention to be concluded between their said Majesties. And whereas the high contracting parties have also considered it desirable to define and regulate the limits within which the general right of fishery on all parts of the coasts of the two countries shall be exclusively reserved to the subjects of Great Britain and of France respectively; the said high contracting parties have therefore named as their plenipotentiaries for this purpose, that is to say-- Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Right Hon. Granville, Earl Granville, Peer of the Realm, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Or der of the Bath, a Privy Councillor, and her Bri tannia Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to his Majesty the King of the French ; And his Majesty the King of the French, Jean de Dieu Soult, Duke of Dalmatia, Marshal and Peer of France, Grand Cross of his Royal Order of the Legion of Honour, &c., his Minister and Secretary of State for the Department of Fo reign Affairs, President of the Council of Ministers; Who, after having communicated to each other their respective full powers, found to be in due form, have agreed upon and concluded the follow ing articles : Article 1. It is agreed, that the lines drawn be tween the points designated by the letters A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. K. on the chart annexed to the Present Convention, and signed by th e respect i ve lenipotentiaries, shall be acknowledged by the high contracting parties as defining the limits be tween which and the French shore the oyster fishery shall be reserved exclusively to French sub jects ; and these lines are as follow, that is to say— The first line runs from the point A, three miles from low water-mark (Point Meinga bearing south), to the point B, of which the landmarks are Agon towrr, or; which the clump of trees upon Mount Huchon, and the summit of Gros Mont in a line ..vi,h the signal-post on Grand Isle. The svcond line runs from the said point B, to wArjs Agon-tower and the clump of trees upon .Mount Huchon, in the direction north 64 degrees east, until, at the point C, it brings the windmill of Lingreviile to hear due east. The third line runs from point C due east towards Lingrevflie windmill, until the Grand Huguenant is hrou.!,}it to bear on the Etat Reck at point D. The fourth line runs from point D northward, and keepin; tine Grand Huguenant in one with the Etat Kock, until it intersects at E, a line whose lamlinarks are Agon-tower, on with Coutances Ca- Ah,dral. Thf! fifth line runs eastward from point E to point F, where the steeple of Pirou is brought to hear in a line with Senequet Rock. 'Eft! sixth line rung from point F due north to point G, where the steeple of Blainville is brought in a line with the Senequet Rock. The seventh line runs from point G (in the di re it of P:rou Steeple) to point H, where the lighthouse on Cape Carteret bears north 24 degrees west. ( rile eighth lire tuns from point Hto point I, eieraly tabieast of Port Bail ; point I having for landoiarks the fort of Port Bail, in a line with the ste,eple of Port B a il. And, finally, the ninth line rune from point I to the three gru:ii?s at point K, where Cape Carteret bears east 10 degrees north, in a line with Berne ! rilie Church. 'i, it is furth er agreed and und e r s t oo d, th a t a ll th e t ► hearings sp ec ifi e d in the present article are to be taken according to the true meridian, and not ac cording to the magnetic meridian. Art. 2. The oyster fishery within three miles of the island of Jersey, calculated from low I water-mark, shall be reserved exclusively to British subjects. ! Art. 3. The oyster fishery outside of the limits within which that fishery is exclusively reserved to the British and French subjects respectively, as istipulated in the preceding articles, shall be com mon to the subjects of both countries. Art. 4. Between sunset and the ensuing sunrise the subjects of both countries respectively shall be prohibited from dredging for oysters between the ' coast of Jersey and the coast of France, from Cape It Carteret to Point iNleinga. ' Art. 5. Inasmuch as the law of France requires I that all French fishing boats shall be marked and I numbered, it is hereby agreed that all British fishing boats dredging for oysters between J erse y an d t h e ! I coast of Fian ce s h a ll also be marked and numbered. Art. 6. All British boats employed in the said oyster fishery shall be registered at the office of the inspector of fisheries in the island of Jersey ; and the entry of each boat on the register shall state the number, description, and tonnage of such boat, and also the name of its owner. This entry must be repeated every year, on or before the commence ment of the fishing season. Art. 7. The right of shelter in the Islands of Chaussey shall be granted to English fishermen on account of damage or of evident bad weather. Art 8. 'Whenever the fishing boats of either of the two nations shall be carried within the limits established for the fishery of the other country, by contrary winds, by strong tides, or by any other cause independent of the will of the master and crew ; or whenever they shall have passed within those limits in working back to regain their fishing ground, the masters shall be bound immediately to hoist a blue flag of two feet long and three feet broad, and to keep that flag at the mast-head, so long as they shall remain within the said limits. The cruisers of each nation shall exercise their judgment as to the causes of such tresspassings ; and 1,. when they shall be satisfied that the said fishing boats have neither dredged nor fished within the liAitseabove mentioned, the aforesaid cruisers shall !!

GRANVILLE. Marshal DUC DE DALMATIE. MATHEWS and the FRENCHMAN. " Among,the many foreigners with whom Mr. Mathews was intimate was a M. P—lle, who fre quently visited us alter our marriage. Monsieur P—lle and his wife, a pretty Englishwoman, had been married several years, but no child had blessed the otherwise happy couple. At the time we be came acquainted with them, in York, the lady had given promise, and in due time the critical period arrived which was to complete their happiness, as they believed, by a more powerful bond of union. On On the evening when this event was expected, and MonsieurP-11e hoped to become a father, lie invited himself to dinner with us, desiring to divert, if pos sible, the intensity of his feelings from the little less than agony of suspense which he experi enced lest his dearly beloved wife should fall a sacrifice to her situation. It was al most impossible, even while witnessing the hus band's suffering, not to smile at the ludicrous ex pression he gave to it. Mr. Mathews urged him to take more wine than the habit of the ab stemious Frenchman would have allowed him to drink at any other time ; but now he seemed glad to use any artificial means to sustain himself. A second bottle of port had been produced, after din ner, before any intelligence from home reached the anxious husband, when lo ! as he was sipping a second glass of the newly-opened wine, a servant from home was admitted, almost breathless with haste, and announced that his mistress was put to bed with a fine boy !' The rapture of the father was as whimsical as had been his dread. He was flying off to see his first-born ; but a prudent mes sage from the doctor was added, recommending Mons. P—lle not to return immediately, but to wait, satisfied with present intelligence, until sum moned. To this he reluctantly submitted; and reseating himself, indulged in his future prospect of added bliss. Nothing had been wanting but a son to perfect the interest of his life ; one child was sufficient for their mutual wishes ; indeed, as he observed, a large family would not be desirable, or consistent with his means ; and, as he and his wife were no longer youthful, it was not probable that any very serious increase to his family circle could be expected—he was, in fact, the happiest of men. After a short interval, the servant appeared once more, to acquaint Monsieur his master, that, since his first message, Mistress had got another bairn!' Surprising was the news, and somewhat damping, we thought, to the happiness and satisfaction which the first intelligence so indisputably occa sioned. However, after the first ejaculation of sur prise, Mons. P—lle inquired how his wife was, and on being again 'assured there was nothing to fear, and that he would soon be allowed to see her, he appeared to resign himself to his two fold blessing, observing, Well, well ! it cannot beprevented—it is one more den I expect—mais I not repine—two shildren at one time is ra-ther inconvenient et very expensive !—mais n'importe, I cannot help him—l moost be resign to it." In this manner he philosophised while he sipped his wine, looking into the fire at the same time, in a musing attitude ; now and then, however, taking out his watch, and again expressing his anxiety lest his dear wife' should be in danger. We had some difficulty in preventing him from appearing at his house before the ruling powers there thought pro per. A third time his messenger rushed in, more agitated and pale than at first. He appeared to bring fatal news, for his eyes seemed almost bursting from their sockets, and his whole appearance was truly alarming to us all. Weil ?' we simul taneously exclaimed, how is Madame —?' ' She's as well as can be expected, doctor says ; but --"But what ?' asked the agitated husband. But she's gettin another bairn replied the mes senger.—' Anossere shild !!' cried the astonished Frenchman, starting from his chair, and pushing his hair back from his forehead, with a' Wheugh as if sudden heat had distressed him. In truth he looked less in sorrow than in anger at this unsea sonable augmentation ; and, after a second pause in seeming reflection, he suddenly assumed a reso lute manner, as if from a strong effort of mental de cision, buttoned up his coat rapidly ; called for his hat, forced it with a blow down upon his forehead ; drew in his breath ; and, in a calm yet determined voice, as he hastened out of the room, exclaimed, as if in soliloquy,'l must put a stop to dis business !" —Memoirs of Mathews. During the last quarter of an hour, the diplomacy of the French system is said to have ranged itself on the side of the Pacha of Egypt. This is at least the 1,574 th wheel-about movement.—Charivari. CANTERBURY Hors.—The picking is now al most concluded. The market has hitherto been dull, but good samples are scarce, and we expect will com mand remunerating prices. THE ROYAL GEORGE.—There is now residing at Morden College, Blackheath, the only surviving officer of the Royal George, which is now exciting so much attention from the efforts which are being made for the destruction of the vessel. Mr. Webb, the gentleman alluded to, is upwards of eighty years of age, but still in the enjoyment of perfect health and faculties. His escape from this ill-fated vessel was a singular one, as a very few minutes before the catastrophe which caused the destruction of so many hundred lives, he left the vessel for the shore in command of a boat's crew. After the boat had made a few strokes from the vessel, a midshipman, who was one of the company, requested permission to return on board, which was acceded to, for the purpose of obtaining his dirk. The patience of the commander of the boat becoming exhausted in waiting for the return of the midshipman, they were ordered to pull towards the shore. This was scarcely responded to before the vessel capsized ; amongst the lives lost being that of the young officer who went on board from the boat, on account of the trifling breach of etiquette which he had committed in being destitute of his sword. DEPOPULATING SYSTEM.—This destructive system is making its way into this neighbourhood. A few days since, J. H. Cowan, Esq., Sub-Sheriff, with a strong police escort, under the command of Mr. Cummins, C.C.P., proceeded to the lands of Mul laghmore, parish of Moylogh, and took possession of the houses and holdings of upwards of twenty families, rendering them houseless in this inclement season of the year. This property belongs to a Mr. .;emison, of Dublin. He may, for aught we know, be a very goed and humane man ; but, in common with all absentee landlords,he has committed the management of his unfortunate tenantry to underlings, who in ge neral are as venal and base as they are despicable. We call Mr. Jemison's attention to this fact, and we are credibly informed of its truth, that in one of these cases, a person who had paid his rent regularly, a n d proposed to give security for his future punctuality, was turned out with the rest from the home of his childhood to make room for another in greater favour with the underling. These matters are worthy of Mr. Jemi son's consideration.—Tuam Herald. HONEY STEALERS.—A novel description of robbery has lately taken place at Bourton and Back. well, namely, that of stealing bees. Mrs. Harvey and Mrs. Blackmore, of Bourton, had each two hives of bees taken from their gardens one night last week, and lyi r. Cox, of Backwell Park, has had five hives stolen. It appears that the thieves first ascertain the heaviest of the hives, which they take into a field, where they destroy the bees by sulphur a nd secure the hone y . Druggists and other purchasers of honey would. do w e ll t o take the .names and address of suspicious per sons offering this artigle for sale.—Bristol Mirror. MALVERN CHUI:CH.—A font of great • _anti.. quity remains in this noble church, but which has been disused for years. Within the last fortnight it has been completely repaired by Mr. etephens, the sculptor, of this city, tied under the sanction of the Vicar it has been placed upon a suitable pedestal at the entrance of the middle aisle of the church, where it is intended that in tuture the rit e o f b apt i sm s h a ll b e a d m i n istered.

CITY OF WESTMINSTER LITERARY, SCIENTIFIC, AND MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. On Thursday evening Professor Calvert, of King's College, Aberdeen, delivered the first of two lectures on Oratory at this Institution. He introduced the subject by pointing out the import ant part which oratory had performed in the achievement of the great events of ancient and modern history. He ridiculed the notion that a just and forcible delivery could be produced by ar tificial tricks of utterance or gesture. Follow na ture, must ever be the fundamental maxim of the orator. If art be employed in the cultivation of oratory, it must be only to perfect the imitation of the pattern and model reared by nature. He pro ceeded to expatiate on the utility of elocution, as that art founded on the analogy of natural expres sion, which teaches us to speak with propriety and effect. He clearly showed that the study of this art tends to exhibit the egregious deviations from the standard fixed and established by nature, and that its chief object was to restore the natural, and set aside the artificial mode of ex pression. The Professor proceeded to remark that purity of pronunciation must form the basis of a correct Elocution; there existed no necessary con nection between words and things, and it was there fore of the utmost importance that whatever sounds were by common consent employed to impart ideas, should be in general use ; every variation from the standard of accurate pronunciation must of neces sity produce more or less obscurity of expression. He illustrated this by examples of the sins of omis sion and commission, more especially with respect to the aspirate, and raised a laugh at the expence of those who prefix an H to every vowel, and those who, with equal impartiality, exclude the aspirate altogether. He adverted, under the head of affecta tion, to the Chesterfield mania, which, with the view of rendering the utterance of the Court totally distinct from that of the people at large, threatened to destroy the richness and force of our language ; but he congra tulated his audience that some well-directed sallies of reproof and satire had prevailed, and we had now got back to the good old English practice. A pompous and stilted delivery was greatly in esteem with some speakers, and must always im pair the effect of their discourse, for if every trifle were delivered in the tone of an oracle, the parts of peculiar importance would not be distinguishable from the rest, and all would appear even as " a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury—signi fying nothing." Where vices of delivery, such as these, existed, the flow of oratory, which should be lucid and sparkling as the chrystal streamlet, was rendered foul and turbid at its very source. The Lecturer stated, and most happily displayed, the ap plicability of the ordinary conversational style to the most varied kinds of reading, and assured his hearers that, by just analogy, it might be adapted alike to poetry and to prose of every description. The Professor proved himself a most versatile anti effective living illustrator of the principles he ad vocated, and he passed " from grave to gay, from lively to severe," with admirable tact. His lecture, which had throughout received the warmest token; of approbation, was concluded with some diverting specimens of the styles of soi-disant orators, amid loud and repeated cheers. GALLERY OF PRACTICAL SCIENCE. THE DAGUTAiithOTYPE. The interest excited by this invention appears to L daily increasing. Mr. Bradley gave a lecture at the: rooms yesterday on the properties of the Daguerreotyi e. and the manner in which the representation of obje. t, are delineated by it ,and M. de St. Croix, who broti , .2i.t the apparatus from Paris some weeks ago, assisted hi!r in the operations. Not fewer than a hundred and fist•. persons were present at the lecture. Mr. Bradley, in aL: course of his remarks, stated a new circumstance whit will teed to diminish its value in all northern climate:. In climates near the line the impression on the pia!, can be made in one minute, or two at most, while icy the latitude of London, and at the pros-nt season, it will require from twenty-five to thirty minutes. In I.h! course of that period tho sun changes its position by a certain number of degrees, and, consequently, deraligc; to the same extent the images on the plate. . Bradley, while be spoke in the highest terms of the covery, expressed his fears that this circumstance woui,: render the invention of little use here. We are however, to think that these fears are greatly exaggerated. No views can be more correct, or mo r., nicely defined, than several of those taken by M. de S.-. Croix since he came to England, and most of them hate been made in unfavourable weather. These rooms continue to be frequented by numeroui visitors, who receive both instruction and amusement at a ►ery cheap rate. DOMESTIC POULTRY.—Under the term do mestic poultry in this country are understood ti ,e chicken or fowl, turkey, duck, goose, pea and guinea fowl, to which perhaps may be added the swan. l', - t ; have no history so ancient as the domestication of she common cock and hen. The cock was supposed to be of Persian origin ; but the species has been since propagated and introduced into general use throughout the whole world, from east to west, from the burnin g climate of India to the frozen zone. Although fow!s used for the table are by nature granivorous, yet all the various species, the goose perhaps excepted, are carniverous likewise, and great devourers of fish. By propagation and crossing, gallinaceous fowls have ben distributed into almost endless variety ; but without including the more marked breeds, Dr. Bechstein dis tinguishes eight varieties of the common barn-door fowl, namely, the fowl with a small comb ; the crowned fowl ; the silver-coloured fowl ; the slate-blue fowl ; the chamois-coloured fowl ; the ermine-like fowl ; tie widow, which has white tear-like spots on a dock ' ground ; and the fire and stone-coloured fowls. It is, however, difficult in many cases to identify the distinc tions mentioned by foreign writers with the f ow l s b re d in this country.—The Poultry Yard. " The temperature at this place," says the Semaphore of Marseilles last Saturday, "is so mild, being at 20 degrees of Reaumur, or 77 Fahrenl.eit, that one's faith in the calendar is shaken, and we c In scarcely believe but that we are in Spring. We have almond and cherry-trees in full blossom, and in many gardens the lilacs are putting out their flowers as if it were April. A tremendous storm occured on Friday in the valley of Semur, at Marcigny, in the Saone et Loire, ,as the Courrier de Lyons states. The flood was so powerful that the soil, with its produce—trees, dwellings, and cari riages, and other vehicles on the road—was carried im petuously down to Marcigny. The Countess de Bus seuil and her daughter, who arrived at that time in the place, were saved only by the presence of mind of the master of the hotel where they had stopped. He took them in his arms from their carriage and carried them out of reach of the water. The ground floors of the houses in some parts of the town were filled up to the ceilings. An old couple were in imminent dan ger of being drowned, when the Mayor, in spite of the remonstrances of all around, determined to save them. Notwithstanding the house they were in was tottering under the force of the torrent, he ventt.red in twice, each time bringing away one of its terrified inhabitants. The scene on Saturday was highly in teresting; crowds of people were engaged in claiming and identifying innumerable articles which had been carried away by the flood. ALLEGED DEATH PROM Vim.ExcE.—On Thursday an inquest, which lasted four hours, was held by; adjournment at the Queen's Lauding, Wapping-will, Lower Shadwell, before Mr. Baker, Coroner, on the body of Eleanor O'Brian, an elderly woman, who, it was alleged, came by her death in consequence of blows inflicted upon her head by her son, Dennis O'Brian, a coal-whipper. The Coroner, in summing up, said he was of opinion neither a verdict of murder nor manslaughter could be sustained. The evidence was conflicting, and it was probable that the deceased, who was a drunkard, had fallen down stairs and injured herself. The ruling passion for gin was in this case proved to be very strong, for the deceased called fir ber favourite liquor on her death bed. The Jury, after a long discussion, returned a verdict " That Eleanor O'Brian died from external injuries, but by whom in flicted there was no evidence before them." FoxTUNE TELLING.—An aged woman, resid at Bercy, where she practised the art of fortune-telling by cards, and inspired terror into the minds of a great number of the inhabitants, who believed her to be a sorceress, was condemned by the Tribunal of Correc tional Police, a few da's ago, to five years' impriion , ment for having extorted from another old woman nearly I,ooof. in money, a quantity cif linen, and about 80 bot tles of wine, which she pretended to employ in inc iota ' tions and spells,to discover the infidelity of the husband of her dupe, whom she stated to be in love with anoti?..:r fe male. To such an extent had she acted upon the mind of the jealous old lady, that the latter bud at one time attempted to suffocate herself with charcoal to get rid of her uneasiness. The husband, an old man, was in the body of the court, which he enlivened occasionally by re marks on the foolish jealousy of his wife. The sm caress denied the charge, particularly as to the wine, of which she said she had only had a glass now and then, to keep body and soul together, but admitted the receipt of little presents from time to time, and invoked the indul gence of the Tri b u n a l, having , she said, exer c i se d her profession merely "pourags condemned a g ne rsapau t v o re tw v o ie y ." cal A im prisonment. - masleo,nmheernat.coomplice, was IRELAND. The Irish papers are destitute of much general in terest. The .Mail, we see, cannot now help discharging a little of its gall on the head of the Lord Lieutenant, to whom coaxing words and significant hints have before been chiefly applied. This journal now ventures on reading a homily to his Excellency for not frowning on the Trades' Union. At a meeting of the National Trades' Political Union last Tuesday the following reply to an Address by that body was read by the Secretary : " Crawfordshurn, Oct. 7,1839. " Sir,—l take the earliest opportunity of acknow ledging the receipt of the Address of the National Trades' Political Union, which came to my hands yes terday evening. " I shall prepare my reply as speedily as possible ; but considering the importance of the subject noticed in the Address, I trust the Trades will not consider that I am guilty of any disrespect in the delay of my answer. " In the meantime, permit me to offer my acknow ledgments for the kind terms in which my late endea vours to protect the poor man's interests are alluded to in the Address. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, id WILLIAM S. CRAWFORD. " Mr. James Martin." CONSPIRACY TO MURDER.--The Limerick Chronicle of Saturday contains a report of an investigation before the Mayor and other Magistrates of that town, into a case which has excited some sensation. Last week it was announced that a . nefari ous consp i racy h a d come to light, the object of wh ich was to murder a Mr. Hol land, a respectable solicitor, residing in Limerick, and to plunder his house. Two apprenticed servants were said to be the instruments of thi s d es i gn , w hi c h was t o be effected by the aid of some of their relatives, who Ihad come from a remote part of Ireland to perpetrate the foul deed. It was even state d t h at t h e assass i ns h had proceeded in a body to put their horrid purpose into execution, but found the intended victim's bedroom-door bolted against their approach, and were thus happily baffled of their prey. I n s h or t, a more perfect ground-work for a Ribbon plot has not been laid before the admiring public for many a day. The young culprits were committed to prison, and Mr. Holland being known for a " serious attorney," of high Conservative notions, our constitutional scribes " leaned on their elbows watching time," which pro mised to unravel such a mystery of iniquity as they should not fail to turn to the account of their party. The day of hearing at length arrived ; but when the public were admitted, to ! the parties had changed places. The children appeared as prosecutors, and the pious attorney, with his exemplary lady, stood charged with cruelties at which nature shudders. The adult agents in the conspiracy, who are said to have wound with noisless foot up the stairs, and stood breathless at the door of the sleeping victims, were nowhere to be seen or heard of ; they had " made themselves air." And, worse than all, the impossibility was demonstra ted to the world of implicating either priest or Ribbon man in the dark transaction ; for all the parties were proved to be Protestants. MEHEMET ALI. Marshal Marmont describes Mehemet Ali as en dowed with a most delicate tact and a perfect know ledge of men. " All the petty sovereigns of the north of Italy in the middle ages," he says, " never displayed more ability, address, and finesse." " Mehemet Ali has received from nature qualities which are rarely united with so much finesse. He has an unbending will, that knows no obstae! , . ;—surmounts all, or breaks down that which refuses to subn - i.t. The powerful influence his name has acquired hi an hum country, is greater than that bestowed by an army ; far, as well as near, his influence is equally felt. It is such, that in a few years it has achieved the tilmo:it incredible wonder of rendering perfectly safe the road through his vast territories, formerly infested by robbers. " In the present day, in a space of seven hundred leagues, an European, as well as any other individual, may travel alone, without danger, openly, and without escort, from the Taurus to Sennaar. Tnis moral power which he has created, is the first element of govern ment—the most powerful instrument to rule manki td. The instinct of liberal interprise has been likewise ranted him. He is an imitator, and would wish to bring together in his own country all that exists else where. But, as education has been wanting to develop his natural genius, he is deficient in the knowledge of first principles, and is often a bad judge of the choice of means. It happens, even, that he does not appreciate the consequences of what he undertakes; and does not foresee the conditions of the success he hopes for. On the other hand, he cou its and follows advice, en courages freedom of speech, rind neglects no means of remedying his own deficiencie e. " Mehemet Ali is a man of nature and of experience, but with faculties that, if ( leveloped by study, might have made him one of the firs s men of his age. When I saw him, two years since, he was sixty-five years of age. His constitution is stro a•g and robust, his activity unwcarying —he is occupit ttl with everything —he shrinks from no care, no fail rue ; it is thus he obtains such good results. He has had the happiness to attach to his fortunes, in order to assist his schemes, some men of high talent, who have constantly and fully justi fied his hopes, and frequently surpassed his most san guine expectations." MYSTERIOUS AND EX:TENSIVE ROBBERY.— On Thursday Inspector Ted man and Sergeant Conolly, of the D division, were activ, sly engaged in endeavour ing to trace out the perpeti •ators of a mos t ex t ens i ve , and, at present, mysterious robbery, which took place on the previous evening at ti ie residence of Mr. Porter, a butcher in a large way of business, at No. 2, New Quebec-street, Oxford-street . It appears that, at about a quarter before eight o'cloci z, Mr. Porter left his cash box in its usual place of d sposit, a cupboard in the second floor front room ; he t hen went down stairs, and on re-entering the apartment i n less than an hour after wards discovered the door ail(' t cupboard, both of which he had locked, standing operi. On examining the cup board he found that the b. as , containing bank notes, bills, and sovereigns, to th a amount of upwards of 1,2001., had been abstracte e I therefrom. He imme diately made known the cire umstance to the police, who, after inspecting the pr anises, gave it as their opinion that the doors had be en opened by means of skeleton keys, and that the robbery was effected by some one connected with the pi •emises. :This conjecture is strengthened by the fact thi tt, as there is no private door to the house, access to the upper part thereof could not have been obtained without passing through the shop, in which case a strai tger who might have had the temerity to make the attea apt would in all probabi lity have been detected. No ( ether property was either carried off, or at all disturbed. . AN IDLE HOAI.--On Monday night a very mischievous trick was played i rpon an industrious poor man in Moulsham, who latel, y lost his wife at a time when suffering from ill health, and whose only offence appears to have been that of ko 'eping a temperance shop for the sale of coffee, &c. '1 'his poor man had killed two pigs, which he had obtain, ed leave from a cabinet maker living nearly opposite, t o hang in his back pre mises for the night. About to n o'clock it was proposed by a few, probably non-temper ante men, to secrete one of the pigs, and report that a man was seen to pass through the yard with it at ti ,at hour. In an anxious state of mind the sufferer was led by a butcher about the neighbouring field until nearly one o'clock the following morning in se a rch of his pig, whilst the other concoctors of this idle trick caused the pig to be replaced upon the hook from : which it had been removed.

UNIVERSAL SUET' CAGE ELECTORS.-A meeting of the Universal Sc ,ffrage Electors' Association was held in the Justiciary ( :ourt Hall, at Glasgow, on Monday evening, for the pt arpose of laying before the public the principles upon w hich they intend to act, and the course they mean to put sue at the ensuing and all future elections. ANECDOTE OF MAT' 1. EWS AND LISTON.— During one of his performanc v sat Brighton, while Mr. Mathews was singing that part of his " Auction Song," where he solicits for a particular " lot," after looking , round the house, and making several appeals, and ex claiming " only three pounds offered—only three," a voice from one of the public 1 oozes, which it was im possible to m;stake, cried out, " Four!" He turned to the spot, to which eve' ry other eye was directed. Though taken by surprise, 1 ae, was not, however thrown off his guard, but, bowing smartly, ala Robins, ex claimed, " M uc h o bli ge d ; yours, Sir." This bidding was made by Mr. Liston, vi 'ho was seized, as he after wards declared, with an irresistible desire to pu t up for a lot, in orde r to surprise his brother actor, and was confounded after he had doi 3c. it, and heard the roar of laughter he had caused, and I the notice he had drawn upon himself.._Memoirs of lh i tthews.

SUGAR.-The transactions in brown and middling yel low descriptions of West India Sugar have been very li mited this week, and previous rates have not been main tained by 6d to is per cwt; but for strong grey and good middling and good bright yellow sorts at and above 63s 6d, there has been a fair demand, and the prices paid are fully equal to those of this day week; the supply is getting small, still there has not been much life in the market, buyers taking only sufficient to supply their present wants, and the refiners have bean the principal operators. The purchases for the three days have amounted to 1,400 blids and tierces, including a public sale of 101 hhds Barbadoes, which went off at previous rates, middling fetched 64s 6d to 655, and good middling to good 65s 6d to 675; by private contract, good brown Trinidad has been sold at 595, rather better Tobago 60s, low middling 61s, fair middling 62s ; Antigua, rather better 635, good 64s to 65s per cwt. The stock exceeds that of 1838 at this period by 5,139 hhds, &c., and the deliveries continue to fall off at the rate of 1,100 nhde per week. The arrivals have amounted to only 374 hhds, &c., since our last report. This afternoon the operations were on a more extended scale, and a fair business was transacted in grocery as well as in refining qualities; the sales are 700 hhds, &c., and former rates supported. The purchases for the week amount to 2,100 hhds and tierces. REFINED. -- The operations in Refined Goods for home consumption have been on a small scale since this day week, the trade buying only sufficient for their immediate wants, but the supply of goods being rather small, has prevented any decline in prices worth mentioning, they are, however, rather lower; standard lumps have been sold at 79s 6(1 to 80s, and brown ones at 78s to 79s per cwt. Treacle has been taken sparingly, and prices are rather lower. In Pieces there has been little passing, but in quotations no change has occurred. Bastards continue dull of sale, particularly the common sorts, and easier rates have been submitted to. For export there has been a better demand for goods re fined under bond, and several parcels of Crushed have been sold at 34s 3d a 34s 6d. Dutch is held for 33s 6d per cwt., but there has not been much doing. MAURITIUS.-The private purchases have been on a small scale, in refining as well as in grocery descriptions, but in prices little variation has occurred; the supply of good coloury sorts is still small, and these are the most in request: only 200 bags of indifferent quality have been offered at auction; which sold rather cheaper; low mid dling yellow went at 60s 6d to 61s, good middling 63s 6d, middling brown 58s per cwt. The weekly deliveries are still large, exceeding those of last year. The stock is 11.800 bags more than at this period in 1838. EAST INDIA.-The common qualities of Bengal have been taken sparingly by the home trade, and prices hav e L ' given way Is per cat; but coloury sorts are still wanted, and being scarce, command stiff prices ; at auction, 3,700 bags have been offered, consisting chic fly of ordinary and middling kinds, nearly the whole were disposed of ; good and fine white fetched 68s to 695, good mid 675, low to mid 63s to 655, good and fine dry yellow 64s to 65s 6d, mid 63s to 63s 6d, damps 63s to 66s 6d, washed 61s to 65s per cwt. No arrival since this day week. For Manilla the demand continues on the increase, and prices are rather higher; the private operations are 2,500 bags, at 22s 6d to 235; 1,170 bags at public sale sold readily-low yellow fetched 22s to 22s 6d, middling 235, low middling grey 23s to 23s 6d, and brown 21s to 21s 6d. Siam is not much wanted, and late rates were not maintained by 6d per cwt, at a public sale of 1,377 bags-low to good mid white sold at 25s to 28s 6d, damaged 23s 6d to 275. Java of brown and grey qualitiea are held for previous quotations, white sorts are however 6d lower, there does not appear to be many orders here for this description, and half only of 980 baskets at auction found buyers, chiefly the lower de scriptions, good and fine white brought 27 6d to 295, low yellow to good grey 23s to 25s id per cwt. This afternoon the auctions consisted of 5,423 bags 130 cases Manilla, and 800 bags Siam ; the former were mostly disposed of, but on easier terms, very ord dark damp brown went at 19s to 20s, good brown 20s to 20s 6d, low mid yellow 21s to 225, mid greyi , h yellow 22s to 22s 6d, damps 18s 6d to 225, washed 18s 6d to 21s; Siam sold at 26s to 28s 6d for good mid to fine white, mid grey 25s to 25s 6d, and damps 24s to 26s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.-The private operations in white Havannah and Brazil have been on a small scale, the orders for the Baltic being nearly all executed, and some of the holders are not so firm in their pretensions, and have accepted 43s for an average parcel of 600 chests of the former, which is Is below former rates; for a small parcel fine picked 43s has been refused : in the latter the sales are only 120 chests Bahia at 26s for middling quality, and 40 chests very old soft Pernams 22s to 265. in yellow Havannah the trans actions have been limited, but in prices we have no altera tion to notice, common brown Brazil is however in request, and bring previous rates. MOLASSES.-In prices of West India no further change has taken place, but the demand hat been on a limited scale, and confined to small parcels of fine St. Vincent's at 345, and middling Montserrat at 32s per cwt. COFFEE.-The trade has purchased very sparingly of West India, particularly of unclean sorts, which must be quoted 2s to 3s lower; ord and fine ord kinds are rather cheaper, but mid and low mid qualities have maintained previous rates; fine mid kinds are however again lower, making the fall from the highest point of the market lOs per cwt. At public sale 300 casks, &c., have been offered, nearly the whole of which found buyers. Jamaica fine mid and fine sold at 128 s a 1325, mid 117 s a 120 s, low mid 113 s a 115 s, fine and fine fine ordinary 106 s a 112 s 6d, and ord 95s a 101 s. There has been no arrival this week. In East India the transactions by pri vate treaty have been on a small scale, and the public sales have gone off heavily; 2,600 bags Java from the Cape have been brought forward, and nearly all taken in, good pale at 79s a 80s, and fine bold at 84s, being equal to previous rates ; the small quantity sold consisted of com mon sorts, which went 2s a 3s cheaper, and sold at 62s a 79s according to quality ; 454 bags Mysore were taken in at public sale at 73s 6d fur fine even green quality, 300 bags fine ord Rio at 60a; 442 bags Manilla sold at stiff prices, and brought 79s 6d a 81s for green quality, very clean and of good flavour ; 71 bags Salem fetched 106 s a 10 3 s fur file ordinary. Cylon has sold slowly by private treaty, and 56 bags at auction were taken in at reduced rates, viz. good ord at 995, and fine ord at 100 s a 101 s 6d per cwt. good ord is generally held for 100a.-Mocha has supported late rates, but the purchases have been trivial. The mar ket for Foreign has been very quiet, and in Brazil and St. Domingo the private sales are not worth enumerating, holders however generally remain firm in their pretensions, and have obtained 49s a 50s for the latter of good and fine ord quality. This afternoon the auctions consisted of 1,438 bags St. Domingo and 1,093 bags East India ; of the former all found buyers, but at prices 6d to is lower, good ord went at 48s to 48s 6d ; the latter was all disposed of and brought previous rates, good and flee ord Semarang went at 62s to 675, inferior 58s, very ord country damaged Sumatra 38s, and good ord 45s 6a to 51s per cwt. FRUIT -.Three cargoes of new Valencia Raisins have been cleared off this week at 425. There are none re maining in the importers hand ; further arrivals however are hourly expected. For Currants there is more inquiry for the home trade ; new Muscatel Raisins are selling at the prices quoted, but are taken off very slowly and in small quantities. PROVISIONS.-In the Butter market a good business has been done since our last, gener a lly at improving prices fine Irish has sold at 90s a 93 5 , an d the best Friesland slandh s as ; fetched 100 s, and in some e ases rat h er more dull of sale, but not varied i n pr i ces. The Baconamrdarsktielti re mains steady, and extreme prices are paid for good qua lities which are not so abundant as the inferior kinds. Cheese moves off moderately. INDI OO .-Bengal, at the sales, has fetched 9s 3d to 9s 8d for good and fine purple and violet, good to fine violet I 3s 9d to Os 2d, or di nary and middling ditto 7s 3d to 85 6d, violet and copper 7s to 8s 4d, cons'aming descriptions 65 3d to 8s 3d, ord and trash 45 3d to 6s, Madras 4s to 55 Ild, Kurpah 3s Ild to 7s 3d, and fine Manilla 64 to 65 lld per lb. The average advance on Bengal, when compared with the rates established in July, is full 6d per lb, with the exception of very ordinary descriptions. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
