LORD STRAIVGFORD:
HIS RECEPTION AT CONSTANTINOPLE.

The English Ambassador, Lord Strangfords who
hal his first audience of the Sultan on the lath of
May, was received with extraordinary honours, and
some tlegriding parts of the ceremonial forms were
omitted. Generally when the Ambassadors came
to the middle gate of the Seraglio (Oita Capussi),
they are desired to dismount, and invited to sit
down on a bench, which is the usual Drat of the
Imperial executioners and liangmers^-here they
are generally made to wait an 'hoar before
they are admitted into the second cdurt. Lord
Stranglord did not stop at all, but passed the
bench. The Sultan himself answered his speech,
which is usually done by the Grand Vizier. Among
the ceremonies on this occasion, it must be added,
that before the repast, at which the Grand Vizier
and the Ambassador ate sitting, and she two first
interpreters standing, the Janissaries received their
pay, a tedious ceremony which lasted five hours,
the arrears being paid for six month.. The money
was brought in 13,000 leather bags of 500 piastres
each (six and a half millions of piastres). The Am-
bassador received as a present five horses, which
are worth 5,000 piastres. and their trappings
15,000 piastre*. The Ambassador had presented
to the Sultan, in the name of his Sovereign, a dag-
ger set with jewels, worth 50,000 piastres.—

The provincial Paper,' ■bound with accounts
of the preparations making in various parts of
the country for celebrating the Coronation of
his MAJESTY on the 19th instant. Public break-
fasts in the morning, public dinners at noon,
and Flails and parties iu the evening, will be
the order of the day. At Bristol the Corporation
will walk in procession to the Cathedral. It will
contain, besides the Clergy and principal inhabi-
tants, several of the Tradesmen's Companies,
and a man in armour. The Coronation Anthem
Mill be performed at the Cathedral with all the
tuusicitl strength of the city. At Exeter the Chief
Magistrate has recommended, instead of an illumi-
nation at night, a subscription should be raised
fur providing au entertainment for the poor. This
example may he worthy of imitation is other great
towns and cities. The poor and the rich should
tejoice together.
A requitit has been published in the Dublin
Papers for an aggregate Catholic Meeting to be
held in that city on Monday tlw 16th instant, to
take into consideration the propriety of presenting
an Address to his MAJESTY. sod also to consider
the titular of represeitig their opinion on the present
state of Catholic Affairs, sod of adopting the mea-
sures most suitable to the wants and wishes of the
Catholic people of Ireland. Doctor Mt I.Nita. who
is now in Dublin, has, we understand, strongly re-
com►mended this proceeding, the propriety of which,
at the present moment, is, we think, very question-
able: it is, at all events, bad taste. His MAJEsTv's
visit to Ireland originating in kind feeling towards
that country, is en especial mark of grace sod fa.
your ; a. such it would be more consistent with the
characteristic hospitality of its people.. and more in
unison with their professed attachment to his Royal
person, to lay aside all politics, to suppress all
pony spirit, and present a .ceue of pleasure and
recreation without alloy. A dry discussion of the
reto:certainly is not the exact sort of welcome
the first British Sovereign that ever visited Ireland
is peace would naturally expect. A deputation
consisting of Mr. O'CuxsaLL. and several other
leading Catholic Gentlemen, have waited upon
Doctor Mamas to invite him to a public dinner.

and fined him a. and ordered him to be imprisoned

The COURT then broke up, and the LORD
CHIEF JUSTICR sat at Nisi Priam

iptorwar O. WOOD.
Mr. GURNEY slated that this was an action for
an assault of • ve►y aggravated description. The
Plaintiff had been in the army, in which he had lost
an arm. On quitting the army, he went iuto busi-
ness as a shoemaker. It happened that his pre-
mises had been robbed, and with a friend he was
in the neighbourhood of St. Gdes's, distributing
bills descriptive of the goods stolen, and whilst he
was doiug this the Defendant rode up, and
addressing the Plaintiff's friend, called them
thieves, end inked what they were ■bout! The
luau replied they were not thieves, but were endea-
vouring to detect thieves ; Oft which the Defendant
struck him with his riding whip, and knocked him
down. The Plaintiff asked him whet lie meant by
such behaviour, on which he struck the Plaintiff
and knocked him down twice, and then rode off.
The people who were assembled, however, soon
stopped him, when the Plaintiff went up to hits
and asked for his address, on which he struck
him across the face, saying, " that is my address,'
and route off again; but on coming to • public-
house in Compton-street, he stopped and went
into the house, when the Plaintiff came up again
and asked for an explanation of his conduct. He
said lie was a Magistrate, and hail a right to do
what he liked. The Plaintiff; on inquiry, disco-
vered lie was a publican at Deptford, where he
again went to him, but could get no satisfaction or
explanation he said, that if the same thing oc-
curred again, lie would do it again.
Several witnesses were then culled, who proved
the above facts. _ _ _

Mr. %VALrosto addreued the Jury fur the De-
fendent, but culled no witnesoes.

The LORD CHIRD JUSTICE left it to the Jury to
soy what damages should be given for such au in-
jury, upon the evidence which they had heard.
The Jury, after consulting a lew moments, re-
turned* verdict for the Plaintiff—Datusges Suf.

Sir Was. Du Casartany and his daughters wen.
overturned in their way to town late on Saturday.
Mno Da CRIUIPIONY was severely wounded in the
bead, and cut with the glass. The surgeons who
attended her do nut thank the wounds dangerous,
stud she has been removed to Sir ‘‘'ti.Ltsat's house
ut Camberwell.

A fine [woodcock was shot at Arrowroot, about
eleven miles from Exe►er, ma Thursday, and put.
chased by Mr. Common, of tl►e hotti, who for-
warded St to London.

A quariel took place at Chatham on Wednesday
night. between parties of the marines and of the
68th regiment, in which, before it Mad quelled, ay.
vend persons were severely hart, but we understand
that t►o liv's were Inst. An attempt was made to
renew the quarrel on Thursday night, but frustrated
by the energy of the officers of the garrison.
The country markets have again declined to their
former lowest price, though the supplies are but
moderate, and there is every prospect we ►hall have
• late harvest this year. The crops on the ground
look hue in progress, but they wssit much of the
solar influence to bting them ins state of oustienty.
The hay harvest has nearly concluded ; the (luau-
tity most abundant, and the quality good; it not
baring had much of the sine, potent rays is rather
brrietioal, as th-y are considered to have a withering
influence. The growth of hay in the Isle of
Wight is said to emceed all former precedent.
