T'aey contain fur.hlr ,ia•sticlar; r,F events

was the scene of mast horrible lrat,:lt:ties. Tito great
.flaughter took place on the 16th ult. 'File po7ulace
possessed themselves of a conshierable quantity of
arms, and a powder magazine, and carri..l by fa.sault
tiiree of the principal forts, and massacred a number

of the troll's of the garrison. They set at liberty
• t:e galley slaves and 150 felons, and afterwards
divided into two parties, one anxious for the British

.Constitution, the other that of Spain, and others
called out for Independence and a Republic, and
commenced firing upon the citizens. Several Palaces

have been burnt, anal several Nobl;:s assassinated.
-The infuriated mob also put to death the Port Cap-
tain of Palermo. The neighbourbead of that city
presented an indeseribaide scene of slaughter, and
tl e appearance ofa field of battle. The captain
tha vessel who brought the. intelligence was be

calmed off Palermo till the 20th ult. when a brisk
firing still continued. At Messina ull was tranquil,
the people were mimed in fetes an.! njoicings,
on account of the proclamation of the Constitution.
The Austrian Olserver of the 29th of July pretends
that no decision on the subject of recent events in
Naples has yet been taken by the Imperial Court;
and that, betUre cautuitting itself, it wishes to know
the point of view in which these events arc regarded
by the Allied Pow.rs. It also contradicts, in the
most positive manner, the reports us to several Aus-
trian regiments having been rent into the Venetian
territory. The Neapolitan Ambassador to the Court
of Vienna, Prince Coriati, has left that city, having
been refused au audience by the Emperor of Austria
and Prince Metternich, a convincing proof of the
angry feeling of his Imperial Majesty with respect
to the revolution in Naples. The latest Alialrid
Journals which bad reached Paris, contain, it is said,
nothing interesting. The Quotidienne, however, on
the authority of a private letter, asserts, that the
.4postofic insurrection in Gallicia is not yet put
down ; but the other Journals are totally silent on
the suliect. According to advices from Corfu, a

pacific arrangement had been concluded between
between Ali Pacha and the Porte, on condition that
the former shall continue to administer the Pacha-

lick confided to him by the Porte, without inter-
fering in any manner with the Government of the
territories which he has usurped. The Assize Court
of Chaumont (department of the Upper Marne) has
sentenced to two years' imprisonment, and amerced
in the penalty of 100 franca, an individual named
Hu'.lll, convicted of having publicly pronounced the
fallowing atrocious words :—" The Duke d'Angou-
leme, on po.sAing through Lyons, gave orders to fire
on the populace ; he is now going to pass through
this town (Brienne) and we will serve him v the
Duke de Berri has been served."

The carriage in which her Majesty will go to the
House of Peers daily, is expected to be finished this
day. It is not what is called u state carriage, but an
• elegant serviceable town vehicle, which may be
opened in landau fashion, and is in every particular
very commodious. The pannels are of a bright yel-
low, elegantly emblazoned with the royal arm.; the
coach-hex is covered with a rich hammer-cloth,
hearing the royal arms, beautifully embroidered.
The harness is finished ; it consists of a complete suit
for six horses; it has been completed in the kat
style of workmanship ; the ornaments are of brass,
gilt, and comprise all the to =glut insignia of roy-
alty.
The Clerk of the General Meetings in Leicester
has received an official letter, stating that ',allotted
men in the militia, assembled for annual training
and exercise, are not entitled to half bounty, under
the 122 d sect. ache 42d Geo. 111 , chap. 90, unless
the militia are called out mid embodied toi actual

service.

41.1 D TOE Gl3 LIGHT COMP,llfir.

It has been a general complaint amongst the
fishermen of the River Thames, for a considerable
time• that their trade has suffered in proportion to
the losses in other trades, but from causes wholly
distinct from those commonly assigned, and not at all
to be traced to the source so liable to public cor.
damnation.

Ever since the establishment of the gas-light com.
pany, it has been the opinion of the oldest fishermen,
that their Itthours have been almost entirely counter-
acted, it being no longer possible fur fish to live in
the river, in consequence of the offensive stuff which
flows into the Thames from the pipes formed by the
Company to let off the refuse. [laving ascertained
that a mortality so injurious to their interests took
place every day, and that the fish which survived
the poison died immediately upon being caught, and
in a short time became unfit fur ase. great num.
her of fishermen determined to petition the Lord
Mayor against the Company, with the view of
obliging them to find some place to contain the
fees, where their means of livelihood could not be
affected. They accordingly drew up a petition,
declaring that they and their families, and the
villages on the borders of the Thames, whose sup-
port almost exclusively depend upon the sale of
Thames fish, were sustaining most grievous losses
through the conduct of the gas light company ; and
the interference of the Lord Mayor, who had so
much control over the river Thames, would, in all
probability,have the effect of influencing the company
to remove the nuisance, by which legal measures, at
the expence of the city, might be avoided. The
petition further stated, that, as might be expected,
the brood of fish in the River Thames, being cont.
paratively of so delicate a kind, were upon the point
of extinction, and that no cause was this alteration
in the health of the fish ascribable, but that which
formed the ground of the above-mentioned cam-
plaint.
The Lord Mayor immediately referred the petition
to the city Solicitor, who questioned some of the
petitioners upon the subject of complaint, and upon
learning front them that they had not made any
experiment upon fish, by placing in some of the
offensive matter of which they complained, advised
them to do so, in order to ascertain whether the come
pany were chargeable with committing a nuisance.
In the event of its being proved that the trade
suffers by the gas, the company, it seems, are to be
proceeded against if they persevere in giving vent to
their pipes in the way at present preserved.

The Ist and 2d Regiments of Somerset Militia
are to be ahsetubled, ti,r the purpose of being train-
ed and exercised for 28 days; the former at Taun-
ton, on the l i th September, and the latter at Wells,
on the 1 Bth September.
