ampton on Thursday. General Cannon, the second in com-
mand to Omer Pacha, may be expected home shortly on sick

We are credibly informed that when the infernal machine
which exploded on board Admiral Dundas's ship was seen by
a marine officer, he instantly detected that it had been made by
a person resident near London, and proved this to all present.
The fact was immediately transmitted to the Government,
but they have refused to institute any inquiry whatever into
the subject, nor have they taken any measure to put a stop to
this traitorous assistance to Russia.—The Press.

THE ANGLO-TURKISH CONTINGENT,—The Anglo-Turkish
contingent (says the Debate), which is to be carried to the
number of 24,000 men, begins to assume an imposing appear-
ance. Besides the recruits enlisted from all the warlike races
of the empire— Albanians, Kurds, old Bashi-bazouks (under
permission from Omar Pasha), &c.—the English have got the
Porte to turn over to the contingent some 10,000 men bor-
rowed from the regular army, and in great part even from the
Sultan's guards. This force is now assembled at Buyukdere,
where the head quarters of the contingent have established
themselves in the former palace of the Russian embassy.
There the English officers of the contingent are quartered as
in a military school.
