need that which is now presented by the aspeet of
•Obits in Turkey. Russia, indeed, has a private
cause of quarrel with the Porte, ariving out of the
seve►e and harsh treatment which Baron STeosia-
-110111 experienced at Constantinople; but the cir-
cumetances that marked the intercourse between
the Porte and the Russian Ambassador, are ant as
)et saticirntly known to us to warrant us in form-
ing so opinion upon the conduct of the dispelling
parties. It is, however, to be observed, if the
uketch of the Russian shim/dam which we puts
halted •few days since be true in substance, that
the Russians have ranked the apulvgy to Baron
STIOSONO/11 among the lowest and least important
of their demands. The surrender of Moldavia and
Wallachia, tnid the free passage of the Dardanelles,
form, as the /slarquis of Lorr now inert would says
" the. prominent features" of the requisition ; and
it *est be acknowledged, that these claims bear as
little reference to the angry squabble between
Baron STROOOMOTT and the Vine& us can well be
imagined.

Bat, in truth, if the Emperor of Rost A were to
put forward the griefs of his Ambassador as the only
pretence of an invasion of Turkey, no one would
believe him ; and this being the case, it would be
much wiser and more manly to place the affair upon
iti proper footing. Austria►, it is now confidently
asserted in some of the German papers, willconsur
with Russia in her projects, and assist the proposed
invasion with 40/306 men. There are no move.
Meats iu Prussia which justify the presump-
tion that the attn. of that Power will be united
with those of Russia and Austria. The Cubiuet of
France has ►esolved to observe a strict neutrality,
but Great B►itain is represented th►oughout the
East as being resolved to unite her Red Cross in
strict alliance with the Crescent.
The Sultan in the mean time is making the most
extensive preparations fur war which his resources
will bricuit. The contest, if it should take place,

will undoubtedly bear upon the parts of Ru•sia
and Turkey, all the characte►istics of a religious
sour, and will therefore be waged with all the ene►gy
of passion which religious contests never fail to in-
spi►e. The Turks are brave, but they are ill
disciplined and ill arened ; so that in opposition to
SS army of Russians or Germane, their chances of
success seem to be very slight. Their country is
naturally well capable of being defended, but that
'matins of the inhabitants who are best qualified
fur desultory warfare, will, in the event of an in-
vasion, be numbered among their enemies.

A new version of Gray Mernserimg was produced
at this theatre on Monday evening, under the title
of the Gips!, of Dernefesgh; in which the unrivalled
talects of Mrs. gbErrom in Meg Merrilies drew
forth repeated hurts of applautf. Many tannic-
ceio.ful attempts have been made to represent the
above character, but nothing Can equal the vitro-
ordinary and excellent performance of the above
Lady. The various other tharhciers io the piece
are sustained with great ability by. the whole
strength of this excellent company. 1110 dramatic
production ever excited more interest; the pictu-
retique scenery, the selection of the Scotch airs with
tile vocal music, and the ingenious machinery, were
loudly applauded. A new fareetia, called Cherry
Bowser, succeeded, in which Bunco made his
fiat appearance this season, who, with the comic
powers of K comer. kept the audienee in a constant
roar of laughter.

PROVIDENT/AL R3CAPR.

Oa Saturday ao 'eel dent of rather es ehtraordinary si-
tore, although furturiaielyonaticodert with any fatal re mlt,
happened in the Borough High.itrett, The Rev. Mr. Ro.
hen Clarke was going along in a close carriage, when the
Clapham stage, driven by Richard Ilrathcote, came violently
itt.rontsct with the vehicle, and, strange to say ! the bind
-wheel of the stage went over the small wheel of Mr. Clarke 's
ntrecb without either susisioing any injury. Mr. Clarke
~riving that blame war ettrtbotable to the coachman,
cited him before A;dermati Smith at the Town•flall but it
wise learly.proved that the accident was caused by the mis-
mthagement of Mr. Clarke'. own mist-boy, and the charge
was in consequence dismissed, the Magistrate coogrittulal.

Until the house was in one column of fire, sod it was horned
to the ground in a few minutes. The adjoining Louses (tos

PLYMOUTH, AUGUST 27.—Reports are revived
Of the lit so's intention to visit this port apnn his
return from Ireland. His MAJESTY is expected
here about the 10th of the ensuing month. A no.
tification to such an effect has been received by the
Heads of Departments. Moorings are ordered to
be laid down in Hamoaxe and the Sound for the
squadron, while preparations are making on an ex-
tensive scale in the prospect of such a visit. The
Ilyperion frigate is now in the Sound, waiting the
arrival of Lard CHARLES SOMERSET and suite,
whom she carries out to the Cape. Having lauded
his Excellency, she proceeds to India, where she
will be immediately broken up. She expects
to take her departure in a fortnight or there-
abouts. It has been blowing the whole day a tem•
pest from the eaatward, fettle, is probably the com-
mencement of the Equinoctial gales. A number
of coasters have come in for shelter. The pilchard
fishery has every prospect of an abundant supply.
A Dublin Paper, ies its acconot of The Corona-
firm, as perfulinted at the new Theatre in that city,
says :
‘‘ The decorations are magnificent—the scenery and machi-
nery are very well executed. The sours understood and suc-
cessfully performed 'heir parts—the mutes know limit places—

We lament to state that on Thursday, the 23i1
Institut, as two of the Students of the Dist India
College, Heir Hertford. were bathing in the River
Les, one of them, Mr. J•Mes GRANT, a most
amiable and promising young man, wandered oat
of his depth and sank. His companion, who had
left the wilier, plunged in again to his relief but in
rain. Assistance was procured, courageous and
persevering efforts were made, sad the body was at
length found, but as it had lain four hours in the
water, the exertions of the medical men who had
been called to the spot, were motivating to restore
animation. tt ,is spine consolation that no one of
the members of the College, or others who hasten-
ed to the spot iu numbers, hoe sustained soy serious
injury midst the anxious awl hazardousendeavours
which were made to recover the body.
