T OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY. Directors deem it a duty they owe to the tareholders generally, but more especially to the original caution them against the various reports now in circu- Le prejudice of the Company. ..ectors have much pleasure in assuring the Shareholders •eports alluded to are utterly without foundation, and that been got up for the purpose of defeating certain Bills in It of other Companies contending for their respective lines They beg to refer in refutation of such reports to the evidence taken before the Committee of the House of on Rennie's London and Brighton Railway Bill, and the i tt • - Eastern (Dover) Railway Comn's Bill (hoth of which bib tntended to pass over a part of the Greenwich line), in which t i l 'oe found much important and authentic information relative to , ri e London and Greenwich Railway by the following eminent 4 11 :—Dr. Lardne r , Si r J o h n Rennie, Messrs. Lock, Milne, • e et Cubitt, Restwick, and others. A reference to these minutes Stonce show that the Greenwich Railway possesses superior tages to those of any other actual or projected line in the I 'ted laes Xingdom. The whole of the 1 line of road is cleared of from London Bridge to Orcenvv . ich, and the Directors are in I ,ZPossession of ample means for the completion of the Railway, on th th 'z'ell between 4 and 500 men are now aily employed ; and should e weather, which has for some months retarded the progress of th e works, continue fine, the whole will be finished in less than. months. • he weekly returns of traffic from that part of the Railway which to,opleted, viz., from Bermondsey to Deptford, afford the Direc -Ith! a,ple reason to calculate upon a vast r income from this Railway r lu full operation, independent of all their other sources of eten ue. 11 '1 GEO.

MEETING of the COMMISSIONERS t ook under the Fiat in BRERETON'S BANKRUPTCY, h Pce on the 2 9 d ult. at Fakenham, Norfolk, when the Bank- D „ t "Pt passed his final examination without opposition, and under a ' , ,t deal of kind feeling and sympathy from his Creditors.. tb ONorwim dets amountto about 36000/., exclusive of to that clmed b e b Joint Stock B ank, , which amounts 44986/ ai . They insets are about 13,000/., and the deficiency was in part accounted by losses by estates, 10,422/. ; losses by foreign corn and seeds, interest paid to bankers, and on mortgages, 30,935/. ; - ` 4 bad debts, 9,7501. et An article has been inserted in the " Norwich Mercury," and her papers, questioning the correctness of a statement, headed as L lll6 ' 7 e , which appeared in the papers about a fortnight ago ; but we dated"a authority to state, that the debt is founded upon cheques, " Norwich," but drawn and issued at Fakenham or Holt, /n t ,,d Paid there by Mr. Walter, the Agent to the Bank, in whose Presence they were drawn, many of them being Post-dated. • bttat cheques thus drawn are contrary to the Stamp Act is per- Ctly clear ; for it enacts, " That, if any Banker shall pay, or ll s° or permit to be paid, any bill, draft, or order, drawn upon hi knowing the same to be post-dated, or knowing that the place ", , _lere it was issued is not truly specified therein, (unless duly :'" e „roPed) the Banker shall not be allowed the money so paid, or ' part thereof, in account against the drawer, or his assignees, theredtors, in case of bankruptcy or insolvency." If, therefore, ankers are bound to account for all monies of the Bankrupt o reived by them, and they cannot set off monies paid upon cheques t this description, it is clear the case is one of „great importance Bankers, as it would necessarily leave them large debtors to the a mkropt's estate. 'l , ,_ l ° the year 1815, h similar case occurred in the same county. f l !'e same objection was raised to a debt claimed by the late Sir. Tgnold, of Nor w i c h, on th e es t a t e o f M r . J o h n H a ycock, of elis, against whose effects Mr. Bignold had issued extents in aid. s at objection was sustained, and Mr. Bignold never received one llu of his debt. Some of the most eminent lawyers in the t,!ngdom were consulted on that occasion (amongst whom were e late Lord Tonterden, and Mr. Justice Holroyd, then at the ), haY,all of whom were of opinion, that cheques which did not specify th e place where they were issued, were illegal, and , Payments made upon them were wholly void, and could not . allowed in account between the drams or and the Banker ; while, Zothe time of Lord Kenyon, the whole Court of King's Bench th e invalidity of such cheques to be too clear for argument. 32, GREAT Russimr-srrtEET, BLOOMSBURY, AND 10, LUDGATE.HILL, CITY.

FOXES.—What will southern sportsmen think of the cold-blooded and dreadful murder of gallant reynards re cently perpetrated in the north. The circumstances con nected with the horrible massacre are given by the Greenock Intelligencer in the following paragraph :—" On Wednesday last, two foxes, a male and a female, were observed on the farm of Mr. M'Naughton, tacksman of Glenlane, and were imme diately pursued by the fox-hunter, along with several other in dividuals. After a considerable run, the male fox was shot by Mr. Duncan Clark, Baltimore, near Loch Stravenhead, and the female was killed by the dogs at Corrask. Besides these, five foxes whelps were destroyed at Seoriaelunore, Glenlane. We understand that one of the tacksmen had this season lost by the depredations of these animals, upwards of sixty lambs. The ravages which the foxes have been snaking, have induced some of the gentlemen in Cowal to employ a fox-hunter, named John Hogg, a relation of the Ettrick Shepherd, to en deavour to rid the district of these animals. He has been kindly supplied with some slow-hounds by John Campbell, Esq., of Southall, who received them from the Earl of Eglin ton. We may mention, that within the last fortnight, there have been also killed one full grown male and two female foxes, along with four litters of young ones, on the estates of Hafton, Bernice, Knockdow, and Ballochyle. Some of the gentlemen were so determined to extirpate these predatory animals, that powder was used and rocks blown up to get at the holes where the young ones had burrowed." One male, two females, and four families of young innocents—why such wholesale murder would make the heart ache even of a politi cal economist—what then must be the horror felt by a gentle man-sportsman on reading the account of such ferocious foxi cidal atrocities? _ _ ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY.--On Saturday after- the general annual meeting of the members of this Society took place at their museum, Grafton-street, Bond-street. Among the distinguished individuals present were Mulvi Mahmoud Ishmael Khan, ambassador from his Majesty the King of Oude ; Sirs Charles Forbes, W. Anslie, Gore Ousley, Alexander Johnston, George Staunton, Ralph Rice ; Messrs. Reeves, Elliot, Clarke ; Colonels Sykes and Franklin. The Right Honourable Charles Watkins Wil liams Wynn, M. P. in the Chair. After the minutes of the last general meeting had been read and confirmed, the Secre tary proceeded to read the thirteenth annual report of the Council of the Society, from which it appeared that at the last anniversary meeting it was unanimously resolved that the chairman for the time being of the Honourable the Court of Directors of the East India Company, be requested to accept the office of vice-patron of the Society. This resolution was made known to the Court, and the Council of the Society bad the gratification to state that the request had been most readily complied with. At the same time it was also determined by the society to enrol among its honorary members his Majesty Mohammed Shah Shaken Shah, King of Persia, and his . . Highness Maha Raja Runjeet Sing, Rajah of the Punjab. The report was received and adopted. The report of the auditor was then read, from which it appeared that the funds of the society were totally inadequate for the objects it had in view. After which several gentlemen addressed the meeting concerning the affairs of the society, and on matters respecting India. The ballot then commenced, when the Right Hon. Charles Watkins Williams Wynn, M. P., was clectcd presi dent; Henry Thomas Colebrook, Esq., director; the Right Hon. the Earl of Munster, the Right Hon. Sir Gore Ouseley, Bart., Sir George Thomas Staunton, Bart., the Right Hon. Sir Alexander Johnston, vice-presidents; James Alexander, Esq., treasurer; Captain Harkness, secretary; and Sir Graves C. Haughton, K. H., M. A., F. R. S., librarian. The members of the council were, with a few exceptions, re-elected. Thanks were voted to the late officers for their services during the past year, also to the Hon. Chairman, and the Society adjourned. CORONER'S INQUEST.—EXTRAORDINARY CIA- CiIIISTANCL-Friday night, at eight ~o'clock, an inquest was held at the Fortune of War, Upper Thames-street, before Mr. Payne, to investigate the circumstances attending the death of a female, apparently • about 20 years of age, who was dis covered in the, Thames, near London-bridge, with scarcely a vestige of apparel upon her. It appeared from the evidence that the body was seen floating with the tide by a Waterman named Kitchener, who, with assistance, got it into his boat. The unfortunate young creature had evidently lain in the water some considerable time, as advanced decomposition had taken place. Her stature is about five feet six inches, and ap parently of a dark complexion, her hair being very black. There was great discolouration of her skin, which, however, was attributed by a medical man to putridity. She had only on the remnant of a chemise, garters, and boots of a very excellent make. The Coroner observed that the shocking circumstance of the poor young creature being nearly in a state of nudity was both extraordinary and 'sus picious ; and inquired if any party had been to identify the body. The beadle said that a young woman, niece to Mr. Tickner, landlord of the Nag's Head, Tower-hill, had been missing some time, and a reward of 101. offered for her discovery ; but, on her friends seeing the body of the deceased, they found it was not the same. There being no further evidence, the coroner suggested the propriety of an adjournment, which the jury coincided in, and the inquiry was accordingly adjourned until Friday next, the parish authorities undertaking, in the interval, to cause advert►sements and handbills to be printed. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MAY 7.—The Falmouth Cornubian of Thursday the sth, gives the following :—The Transit, steam vessel, arrived to-day, bringing very important and very welcome news from Portugal. She left Lisbon on the 29th ult., having put into the Tagus on her passage from the Mediterranean, and brings intelligence of the formation of a new Ministry, composed for the west part of th same men as upheld the country through the almost insuperable difficulties attendant on the civil war by which it was re cently desolated. Senhor Freire is Prime Minister ; Jose de Silva Carvalho, Minister of Finance : the Duke of Ter- ceira, Minister of the War Department ;, D'AlmeMa, Mi nister of Justice ; and Aguilar, Minister of the Interior. The Duke of Palmella isto come to England to arrange the Treaty of Commerce between the two countries. The last accounts from Portugal were of the most desponding cha ratter. The Ministry of Campos had been dissolved—the Treasury was empty, pay of the troops in arrear—andp;eneral dissatisfaction prevailed. We now find that the state of affairs had already undergone an entire change. Carvalho had found means (which Campos could not) to pay the troops, who bad become ripe for a revolt. It is said that the Duchess of Braganza advanced him 200.000/. immediately- on his reappointment. We regret to have to add that the question of the Commander-in-Chief of the army had not been settled. The Cortes object, on constitutional grounds, to the appointment of the Prince, which the Queen strongly insists on. It is said that his Highness has threatened to quit the country and return to Saxe Coburg if the appoint ment is not conferred on him. If this be true, he deserves to be sent home. The Express packet sailed from Lisbon for this port on the 25th ultimo. The Bellerophon, SO, Captain Jackson, C. 8., was taken out of the basin on Tuesday ; and the Vanguard, SO, Cap tain Hon. D.. P. Bouvcrie, on the following day. The Swift packet, Lieut. Welch, arrived on Tuesday from Chatham, and sailed on the same day for Falmouth. The Quail cutter was paid off into ordinary yesterday. The Emerald (tender), sailed on Friday to bring back volunteer seamen for the ships fitting out. ( The Royal Tar steamer, in the employ of the Queen of Spain, will arrive at this po‘rt on Wednesday next, to take recruits to Santander. The Vixen brig, for Lisbon, from London, came into harbour this evening, with damage, for repairs. The schooner Agnes, which was run down about two months since, by the Gladiator, New York packet, and which now lies sunk in 16 fathoms water, near the Edgar buoy, at Spithead, Was sold, a few days since, for 6001. ; her cargo was principally hemp, some tallow, and oil, and 23 tons of iron ballast, with smaller articles. She is to be raised with dockyard assistance, which the purchaser must pay for, and will be an interesting performance. The wreck of the Eliza, stranded on Littlehampton beach, was soil, a few days since, to Mr. Isemonger, of that town, for 4731. The collier Good Intent is sunk in the channel, about two miles and a half from the'Ower's light vessel.

M. Teste, Vice-President. The Order of the Day was the report of the Committee of Petitions. M. Champanbet (the reporter) read two petitions, the first of which, signed by M. Pichat, a merchant of Pans, prayed the Chamber to suppress the licensing system of public gaming -houses (hazard tables), or at least to dimi nish the number of those establishments in the capital ; the second, on the part of M. Begot, required the Clamber to commence a prosecution agalnet various gaming-houses for the restitution of 4500,000 francs, of which they had de frauded the city of Paris. The Committee had paitf spe cial attention to the subject refbrred to in the above peti tions, and had examined into the various allegations support of the prayer of the petitioners. it was said those houses were kept open at all hours, and that tradesmen, bankers' clerks, and minors, were permitted to enter them, and also that a considerable portion of the sums which ought to be paid to the city of Paris, was fraudulently withheld. The result of the investigation of the Com mittee, upon these complaints, showed that the houses in question were regulated ~by the Police a 3 well as they possibly could be. It then examinel the matter under two points of view,—first, that of mora lity ; and, secondly, as to the possibility of remedying the. evil by the suppression of those houses. As to the first, elere could be no doubt of the immorality of gaming tables, but it appeared that they were of the class of necessary evils, and that their suppression would not. destroy the syatem of gambling. Besides, if they were suppressed, the city of Paris would be deprived of a revenue of 5,000,000 f., which was applied for the support of the hospitals, and nevertheless gaming would be carried on to the same ex tent in private houses as was done in London, where such eitablishments, from their extreme immorality, were called hells—cefers.—(Laughter.) He should remind them of the opinion of Casimir Perier, who, speaking open this question, had said that the suppression of' gaining-houses could not be effected without leading to serious inconve nience. 'Faking all these points into consideration, the Committee thought it their duty to recommend that the above petitions he referred to the Minister of the Interior. M. de la Rochefoucault supported the prayer of the pe titions, and cited numerous facts to show the demoralizing effect of gambling-houses ; ir. his opinion, they were the nurseries of all kinds of crime—suicide, assassinations, and robberies. For to those haunts tradesmen, bankers' and merchants' clerks, and minors, were seduced, and forced from one crime to another. Not later than a few months since, a student of medicine, named La Foret. who had gained 4,000 f. at rouge et noire in the Palais Royal, was followed from the garning-table,, robbed, and assassinated in the Rue Mazarine. it was *most singular that a Go . vernment. with such facts before their eyes, could perse vere in supporting so immoral a syetem, merely because its suppression would deprive the city of nvie, 015,000,000E_ ; he, therefore, thought that this matter was deserving of the immediate consideration of the Minister of the Interior, to whom he bad no objection that the petitions should be re ferred. . . M. Pugabe said he intended to :vote for the petitions being referred to the Minister of the Interior, but :n hi; ab sence, be should be glad to hear a few ~ vords in et:planation friar) the President ol'the Council as to what measures the Government, was likely to adopt upon this important subject. The President of the Council said, that no doubt serious complaints had been m. de to the Government with respect to gaming -houses, end I.he petitioners were not the only persons who had addressed the Cr.hhwt for tio supprAsion of such establishments:. But it did not follotv from those complaints that solemn engagements were to be violated. It would have been but right had those petitioners pointed out the manner in whi:4l the Governnent could replace the sum of 5,000,000 f. vhich was thus to be sacrificed. The Ministers were asked Nitat they intended to do upon this question, but he was not bound to give an answer to the Chamber upon this point. There were two things to be considered—first, as to the dignity of the suppression ; and secondly, as to the mode cif replacing the 5,000,000 E There could be no difference of opinion as to the immora lity of gaming, but it. was difficult to know how the evil was to be remedied. Besides, it was not likely that the Government could, so soon after Suppressing the lottery, consent to abandon so large a sum hq 5000,000 f. without any certain mode of supplying such a n'sAcieney. After some observations from M. Laft:tte, the Chamber decided upon referring the above petitions to the President of the Council and Minister of the Interior co:jointly.

MARKET Ls of Grain to C.—May 4. 3-day, and UP le sales were CHANCERY COURT-SATURDAY. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. LUBBOCK. The LORD CHAticELLoa, at the sitting of the Coiirt, gave judgment in this matter, which related to the con struction of the 6 Ist and 62d orders with reference to the price to be charged in the Master's Office on account taken by the direction of the Court. The accounts in the cause, which arc very extensive, had been entered in the book in the Master's Office ; but not appended as a schedule to the report, and the question to be determined was, whether the defendant could be charged for a copy of the account thus taken at the same price as the report itself—namely, two shillings a folio, or at the - price of only sixpence a folio. The importance of this question to the parties in the pre sent instance, as well as its importance in the way of pre cedent to the profession and the public, and its effect also on the fee fund, had ihduced his Lordship to consult the Mas ter of the Rolls, and the Vice Chancellor before he deter mined it, and be found those Judges agreed with him in opinion, that under the orders referred to, accounts so taken, and not appended to the report, were to be charged at the price of sixpence per folio, but the accounts, when copied from the Master's book, to be only sixpence. BARRET V. HOWARD. This was a motion for a new trial of an issue directed by the Lords Commissioners. The bill was filed in 1833, and. prayed the specific performance by the defendant of a con tract for the purchase of a house at Tunbridge Wells. Miss Howard, the defendant, had agreed to purchase the house at 6501., and authorised her brother to complete an agreeMent for that. sum ; but, on examining the title, it, was found that the hOuse was liable to the ground rent of two other houses, included in the same lease of the ground Landlord.' This discovery was made in London by the soli citors to whom the title deeds were sent ; but on their pro posing to increase the amount of the ground-rent and reduce the purchase-money to 4501., and give the defendant a power to distrain on the adjoininghouses, in the event of the ground rent remaining unpaid, Mr. Howard consented to sign the agreement on the part of his sister. When the agreement so concluded was forwarded to Miss Howard she refused to ratify it ; and the question in the cause was, therefore, whe ther the sister bad giVen her brother a general authority to conclude an agreement for the purchase, or whether she had merely authorised him to purchase on-the understanding that the house was not liable for the ground-rent of those adjoining. When the matter came to be heard the Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that the defendant had rendered herself liable, and that the plaintiff must have a de cree for a specific performance ; but Lord Lyndhurst granted an issue to try the facts before a special jury. This issue was tried before Lord Abinger, and the plaintiff had a verdict; but on its appearing that an important wit ness named Rourke had not been examined, although the order of Lord Lyndhurst had directed the examination of all the witnesses, the Lords Commissioners Shadwell and Bosanquet consented to direct a new trial of the issue. The second trial was also before Lord Abinger, but with a com mon jury, and Rourke being examined, a verdict was given for the defendant. Mr. PLATT and Mr. BETHELL now applied for a third trial, on the ground of misdirection by the Learned Judge. The Loan CHANCELLOR, without hearing counsel in opposition to the application, was of opinion that nothing had bee❑ urged in the present instance which would war rant him in adding another trial to the expensii-e course of litigation in which the parties had engaged. The motion must be refused, with costs. After disposing of some lunatic petitions, his Lordship rose at two o'clock. ROLLS' COURT -SATURDA Y. COLYEAR V. THE COUNTESS OP MULORAVE. The arguments in this cause were resumed this morning. The facts are as follow : —The Earl of Portmore (then Lord Milsington) on contracting a marriage with the daugh ter and heiress of the Duke of Ancaster and Kesteven had sum of 38,0001., settled on himself and his wife jointly, with a benefit of survivorship. Lady Milsington died, 'leav ing one son, Mr. Colyear. Earl Portmore, being in embar rassed circumstances, borrowed about 10,0001. of Mr. Bruce, the army agent, to whom he assigned his interest in the settlement. On the death of the Duke of Ancaster he. left his large property to his grandson, Mr. Colyear—a certain sum on his coming of age, and the remainder on his arriving at. the age of twenty-five years. On his coming of age, he entered into an agreement to pay his fathe►'s debts, and filed a bill against Mr. Bruce, and obtained a decree against him, ordering the re-assign ment of the interest in the settlement on the payment of 11,0001. Earl Portmore had some natural children, for whom he was anxious to provide, and his son consented that 20,000/. out of the 38,000/. should be appropriated by him for portions fer these children, and entered into an agree ment with his father to that effect. Mr. Colyear went to Italy, where he was attacked by banditti in the neighbour . - hood of Rome, and taken up into the mountains. His ser vants were murdered, and he was detained until be should be ransomed, but died from the effects of the alarm caused by. this circumstance. The money of the settlement was invested in funds, which were . sold, and Mr. Sermon, Earl Portmore's solicitor, received the proceeds, after pay lug Mr. Bruce the amount ordered by the Court, and at the death of the Earl of. Portmore, Mr. Sermon had 19,0001. in hand, which the plaintiffs, the natural children of his Lordship, claimed, in conformity with the before mentioned articles of agreement between the Earl and his son. Mr. Sermon received notice from the Countess of Malgrave not to pay this fund to the claimants, who conse quently filed their bill for the specific performance of the agreement, to which the defendants demurred. Mr. TINNEY, for the Countess of Mulgrave, suppoited the demurrer. Mr. PEMBERTON argued in support of the Bill. Judgment postponed. KING'S BENCH.-SATURDAY. CRIMINAL INFORMATION AGAINST THE " MORNING CHRONICLE."-THE KING V. BLACK AND OTHERS• The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was instructed, on the part of Fitzroy Kelly and lt. A. Dundas, Esqrs., the late Members for the borough of Ipswich, to apply to their Lordships for n rule to show cause why a criminal informa tion should not be filed against the printer and publisher of the Mornin9 s Chrmielc, for a libel which appeared in that paper on Tuesday last. On Monday last four persons were brought up to receive judgment for having been guilty of bribery at the last Ipswich election, and on the follow ing day a report of the proceedings appeared in the daily papers: In the Morning Chronicle, however, there ap peared in addition two affidavits of Pilgrim and Barnes, and which tended strongly to implicate Messrs. Kelly and Dundas in the charge of bribery. On application to the editor he refused to state his authority for inserting those affidavits, and, therefore, these gentlemen found it necessary to apply to the Court for protection against the charges which they contained. The affidavit of Pilgrim stated "that before he went to Norwich there was a conversation in the Com mittee-room amongst the parties engaged in the election, at which Messrs. Kelly and Dundas were both present, as to the purchase of doubtful votes, which conversation was in the hearing of both Mr. Dundas and Mr. Kelly." Now, if this took place, it tended clearly to show that both of these gentlemen intended to corrupt the ends of justice. Pilgrim's affidavit went on to state that Cooke requested him (Pilgrim) to accompany him to the houses of voters to deliver parcels, which he supposed to contain sums of money, and that he had also seen Mr. Kelly at the house of Spar row, and that he had mentioned he had been delivering the parcels by Mr. Cooke's direction, and that Mr. Kelly had begged of him to continue his exertions. In the affidavit of Barnes a similar statement was made, and parts were • printed in italics, .which the Attorney-General read. Al though it was not the custom of the Court to grant crimi nal informations, grounded on the report of a trial, yet those reports were not, for a particular political purpose, to injure an individual.

HIGIIWAYNIEN.—The taste for atrocities of this description, aggravated by the most cruel and wanton ill-treat ment, has not subsided since the chief perpetrators were de tected. Two youths, (aged 16 and 17 only) named James Hyde, and Thomas Owen, are co emitted to our gaol for trial, charged with having, on the 26th of last month, about eight o'clock at night, assaulted a poor old man, named Hol linshead, on the highway, near Shiffnal, and after 11 - rocking him down, and kneeling on his throat till they destroyed all sensibility, robbing him of his watch, chain and seals, and a little bundle containing some seeds, and other matters he bad brought from market. The old man was so bruised and in jured, that he was unable till last week to be conveyed before the Magistrates, to give the necessary evidence to commit the prisoners. Three wandering vagabonds, pretending to be shipwrecked sailors, have also been committed to gaol for trial, charged, not with highway robbery, but with breaking and entering the house of Mr. James Huxley, of Prees, and stealing a large ham, and a cloak and shawl.—Shretasbury Chronicle.

(From a Morning Contemporary.y. APRIL I3.—Letters from fir, on the Euphrates, received in town a few days ago, have brought the gratifying iotelli g•ence of Colonel Chesney's complete success In laying- mide the obstacles lately thrown in his way in order to preve.at the success of the enterprise under his directions. Thta various difficulties the Colonel had to contend with, are on all sides attributed to Ibrahim Pasha'' agents. Before running the Euphrates down to Bussoaa, Colonel Chesney, whose health is represented as perfectly re-established, had considered it advisable to proceed in a boat tlowo the river, to survey the parts where navigation is considered mem difficult, and at the same time to have int.erviens with the chiefs of the Arab tribes. The most cordial understanding reigns between the English and the Turks at -Bir. The English steam-boat Essex arrived here on the 9th instant. It is the intention of the owners to empiev thla vessel in performing regular voyages between this port ar'd send. Although the immense increase the Persian ta alle has lately undergone has necessarily augmented the acti‘ - ity or communications between the capital and the latter place, it is generally believed by merchants that this speculation o ill tern a complete failure. In consequence of the enormous price of coals (2/. per ton), the freight and passage fare or the steam-boat will appear so exorbitant to the native mer chant, that he will continue, as heretofore, to ernback his ~ e oods on board Turkish vessels. Notwithstanding their numerous inconveniences, they afford to him the foremost or advanteges—that of low price. The steam navigatiaii be tween this and Smyrna has hitherto presented tut heavy losses to the companies interested in the undertaking. The discovery of a coal mine in the immediate neighbourood of the capital was, according to a general report, made by the Austrian director of mines, M. Pavoliny. This report has uuihrtunately turned out to be unfounded. The mineral supposed to have been coal has been found -on trial to be litrdite, containing 7 per cent. of combustible matter. The Sultan, anxious to afford to the Capitan Pasha an additional proof of the satisfaction which the indefatigable zeal he has shown RI improving the Turkish navy, has given l:im, presented him on the 10th inst. with los portrait. Mehemet Ali Bey, the Sultan's. Chamberlain, was desired to convey the painting on board the flag-ship. and to in form the Admiral that it was the Sultan's eapress wish that it should be placed in the state cabin. *.ro testify his gra titude for so flattering a mark of distiriction on the part of the Sovereign, Tahir Pasha ordered salutes to he fired, and the ship to remain dressed during the whole of this fortu nate day. 'Nth- Pasha will, it is said, sail previous to the marriage festivals, which are to begin on the 26th inst. Most of the Pashas invited to assist at these solemnities, are already arriveth—among these Mouatafa Pasha of Adrianople, the. disappointed candidate. These who have not had it in their power to comply with the invitation, have sent a eepiesen tative with the presents it is customary In offer on a e imilar occasion. Neither Mehemet Ali Pasha's nor his soft os an swer to the letter of invitation sent to them by order of the Sultan has yet arrived. The Easter solemnities were performed lyitl "u s " ! pomp on Sunday laet by the Greek Patriarch at the Part. In order to impart additional Celli to the ceremony, i'mr secretaries and eNaelres of the Russian Mission were pre sent during, the whole service. They thrmed part of the procession; and after kissing the bend of the Patriarch, had the honour of receiving in presence of the whole congrega, tints a paternal embrace horn each of the archbishop. , aria the members of the Synod.
