THE LEVANT.

By this mail we have letters from our correspon-
dents at Malta to Sept. 9, and from Constantinople to
Aug. 31.
A Greek brig had run down an English schooner
near Cyprus. The crew, with one exception, were
saved, but the schooner immediately sank. Our cor-
respondent states that by a decree of Aug. 21 the
King of Naples had revoked the law admitting foreign
gram into the Two Sicilia, duty free, and decreeing
that in future the usual duty should be levied.
At Malta commerce was unusually fiat. There
had not been one arrival from England for ld days.
Dr. Barry, the principal medical army officer, was
dangerously ill. Exchange at Malta on the Bth, 11
per cent prem. on the drawer.

ButMOP or iffixentsran.—This day bevies been appointed
by the Bishop of Winchester to be devoted to acts of humi-
liation, on account of the prevailing pestilence, special
prayers and supplications were offered up in the several
churches and chapels in the parishes of Lambeth, South-
wark, Newington, Kennington, Vauxhall, Wandsworth,
do. With very few exceptions, the tradesmen in the diocese
have kept it as a close holiday ; few shops were to be seen
open, amine butchers' and coffee-thope, and thew were par-
tially closed ; in fact, the mouth side of the river had a similar
appesranee to that observed on Sunday morning. la the
Roman catholic chapels, solemn maims were offered up mean
atonement, and the several eongregatioes appeared devoutly
attentive to the exhortations of their clergy.
VISIT OF A RUSSIAN WAR-STEAMER TO SOUTH-
Amnon. —The Russian wit:4o6=er, Kamchatka, left
Southampton on Sunday. She nailed at that port both on
her voyage to and from 14i0irs? to'which plass she conveyed
the Duke of Reichatadt. Roman money of the value of
10,0004 starling was spent in Southampton during the two
visits of the Kamchatka. A large quantity of ship's storea
was taken in there, and some portion of the crew
were traversing .the town from morning until night,
purchasing snaring apparel, domestic utensils, cutlery,
and ether things. It is very evident that Dutch manu-
factures of all kinds are highly esteemed by the Rus-
sians from the eagernesswith which the Kammhatha sailors
took advantage of their visit to Southampton to
.spend their
mosey Cu them. It was curio= to see panne of these
sailors, meet of them possessing the Tartar head and fea-
tures, visitiog almost every shop of the town. Their ap-
Nuance and manners were the opposite of the reckless and
tovial jaek-tars of this country. The Rumian officers pa-
lely allowed the inhabitants of Southampton to visit and
=wet their ship. It certainly is a very fine one, but 'desa-
lts= is not considered oa board one of the cardinal virtues
as it is on board en linglish man-of-war. What
astonished a visitor most was the mode of feeding
the common sailors. A large wooden trough was filled with
a serf of porridge made of ground beans end some fatty
matter. Two men stirred it with rakes as se to male the
admixture perfect. This was sawed out to the seamen in
basins, and the saes, aquatting oa their haunches, ate it by
means of wooden spoons with evident gusto. The com-
mander of the Kamchatka Bngl& fluently, and one
