LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31, 1849.

insulted boatman went fur a weapon, and
waited for the return of his enemy, who bad also
let the shoe. An unfortunate orderly, who stepped in
to take a glass of wine as he passed on an errand, fell
a victim to the indiseriminsting vengeance of the
infuriated boatman, whilst the real author of the row
escaped unhurt. (Auer soldiers are continually miss-
ing, so tbat the army certainly has no reason to wish
for a further stay in the city, where the "sympathy'
boasted of by Oudicot is so unpleasantly manifested.
Whe•her such a step be taken or not, it appears that
a small part of the force will remain at all events,
since the municipality published a notification this
morning requesting tenders for 2,000 wool mattresses
for the ri,e of the French troops.
Another edict also made its appearance this morn-
ing, prohibiting all masters and teachers, as well pub-
lic as private, even to family tutors and professors ao-
(nterned to give lesson■ in private houses, from
exercising their functions, unless by superior authori-
sation, until the conclusion of the inquisitorial pro-
ceeding enacted in the beginning of September to
examine into their conduct. We ma readily
imagine what sort et' people will be found
meritoristre, and we have a specimen of the
rewards that await the papal champions in the
rumoured nominations of Father Termer (who lately
wrote a would•be confntaion of Roomini's works) to
the poet of guardian of the Vatican Library, in the
mina of the late Monsignor Laureani, in spite of the
rights of some other professors who have the prece-
dence of him in every respect. Some of these latter,
men of probil and learning, have been applied to by
the municipal commission, to lend their services in
the direction of the highly interesting excavations'
now going on, but, although members of the former
municipality, they have absolutely refused to have
acythic:r to do w:th the present regime.
The min* iv actively at work, not, &ler, in the coining
of doppie, but in the production of 70,000 medals,
commemorative of the Pope's restoration ; and the ob
restitutam inscription, in gold, silver, and breeze,
will be ostentatiously borne to the four quarters of
Europe by the triumphant modern crusaders.

lowed. The journalist denounces these proceedings
as utterly uncalled fur by the state of the =Wry,
and calculated to excite general consternation and
distrust. A long legal ar.iument is subjoined, in
which, by the citation of numerous passages from the
constitution of the lonian Islands, the proceedings of
the police are shown to have been entirely illegal.
The Patric demands that the results of the investiga-
tion be made public ; and reminds its readers of the
sham plots got op in 1817 and 1840,and the discredi-
table manner in which, on each of these occasions, the
government of the day dropped its charges without
either apology or redress to the unjustly scented.
It is to be hoped, that as soon as parliament meets,
full and unreerreed explanations of the recent pro-
ceedings in the lonian Islands will be insisted on.
As matters stand at present, it does not appear that
nada' severity has been exercised. The remembrance
of what occurred in 1817 and 1840, more especially
att some of the intriguers and paraaites who caused the
mischief there, are still actively at work, throws sus-
picion on the stories of secret conspiracies. Abstract-
edly viewed, the ground taken up by the opposition
journals in Carla, is just and constitutional. Their
views are expressed with perfect &serum, and sup-
pmted by much force of argument. For the honour
of this country, explicit revelations, mid • searching
inquiry are indispensable.

TURKEY.—The Porte has issued a notice, by
which all ships passing the Dardanelles arc to stop
at stated places and show their bills of health ; a re-
gulation against which several foreign ships stand out.
At Satanic& the firman has been read which consti-
tutes Rita Pasha governor-general of that province.
Nearly all the consuls have already paid him official
visits. Great complaints are made reapectillg the
mode in which the Pasha of Larissa and litkiub
transacts bu-iness. The harly.ur of Samoshar has
been blockaded by 3 brigs, 2 galliots, and 2 steamers,
under the command of Admiral Mustaph PashAe.
According to the latest account, tranquillity had been
restored in that island.

DEATH OF MR. T. MORTON.—The medical pro-
feseion and the public generally will regret to learn that this
estimable gentleman expired suddenly at his residence,
Woburn-place, Russell square. yesterday morning, in the
38th year of his age. Mr. hi n-ton was deservedly well
known to the profession from his numerous contributions to
the advancement of science. He held the appointment of
usistantsurseon to University College Hospital, attrition to
the Quten's Hitch Prison. He was admi•ted a member of
the Royal College of Surgeons on the 24th of July, 1836,
and so highly was he esteemed by the council that they
elected him unanimousq an honorary fellow of the institu-
tion. The following are the works that hare obtained for
the lamented deceased well-earned reputation : " On the
Surgical Anatomy of the Parketten," 1839 —"Of theOrein,"
1840—" Of In/canal Hernia," 1841—" Of the Head and
Neck," 1845, and many valuable articles in the medical
journals.

A FAMILY 10EARLY POISONID.—On Sundsy atter-
eh. I
noon, the village of Witnesham, near Ipswich, was thrown
into a state of great excitement by the discovery that the se
household of Mr. Amos, a respectable farmer residing in that
parish, were suffering acutely from the effects of poison, 10
which threatened to be attended with fatal consequences. 10
The information we have received is neither very ample nor n
conclusive, but the faits are alleged to b • that soap after din-
ner, the whole of the family, including the domestics, num.
boring altogether seven or eight persons, were seised with Se
nausea and vomiting. It was at that sacribad to the ladiges,
bible nature of the meat—a joint of vsel,but upon the inquiry 1.
being pursued a little farther, Mr. Amos tonna out
to his extreme bother, that they bad partaken of poison, the n
joint having been " basted " with arsenic instead of flour. SO
The dripping pan, it seems, when not in we, is placed under. 101
neath a cupboard, in which had been deposited some packets 44,.
of arsenic intended for wheat steeping. One of the packets 12
had bunt, end its deadly contents sniping through a crevice isi,
in the cupboard, had alighted upon the dripping pan, giving 10
to it the appearance of having been well floured. When the SO
pan, which had been dusted the day before, was put down to tt
the tire, the supposed flour, which a careful and clean cook
would have removed, was allowel to remain as a 'Darer of 7;
economy, no suspicion being exei.ed as to hew it came there.
Upon the truth becoming apparent, medical aid was et,
pr.ortht4 procured, and the symptom, which at first were le '
very alarming, gra Nally yielded to the vigorous treatment
adopted, and all the sufferers were moan out of danger.— se

Gazette, of the 20th, received yesterday from St. 10
Petersburg, publishes an imperial ukase, signed tal
by the emperor, and directed to the governing ioo
senate. It commences by stating, that, in consequence se
of the heavy expenses which have been incurred by
the foreign campaign, and with a view to their as
dation, the emperor has commanded the issue of seven 11
series No. 20 to 26 inclusive, of Treasury notes, ss
" Reichsechatz billets," each series to the extent of les
three millions of rubles, making a total of twenty eD
-
one millions rubles, for the period of eight years, as
bearing interest a' the rate of 4 22-1001 ha per cent.
per annum. Series Nos. 20 and 21 had already been 81.-
issued; and the remainder are to be issued as they
may be required. They may be called in at pleasure. •
The market advices of the same date from St. se
Petersburg mention considerable business having 1*
been done in tallow, one English house alone having st.
baught for this market 4,000 casks, at prices varying as
from 108 to 115 roubles. After this operation the to
market became fiat a;ain, and the same qualities were
offered at 113 roubles. In hemp Viere was no varia- ro
tion to note, and very little had been done for ox- se
port. Flax was quite neglected. 90

MARK-LANE,--THIS DAY. IS
But little addition was made this morning to the quantity
of English Wheat which remained over unsold nom Mon-
day's market; mnli difficulty was experienced in making al
sales at that day's rates. In foreign Wheat very little busi
nese was transacted, and, in the absence of ales of any le
moment, Monday's quotations must be repeated. Engliah 6u
Barley sold slowly at the reduced rates of last market.day. u.
The demand ter foreign grinding Barley continua good a
and prices well maintained. Oats move off slowly, and good I
corn could net be purchased cheaper than at the commence- Id
meat of the week. English Beans and Peas unaltered in 3,!,
value or demand ; but old foreign Pees, for feeding, were ;
the turn dearer. ao
