LONDON, MONDAY, OCT. 1.
Three o'clock, p.m.

The Paris papers of Thursday have arrived. The
intelligence in these journals is of a pacific character.
The captain of an Austrian vessel, who left Con-
stantinople on the 16th of August, states, that there
was no apprehension of a war in that city, and
that notwithstanding the departure of Baron Stro-
gonoff, Russian vessels continued to arrive us usual.
The Porte, it is Mieved, has made so many conces-
sions, that there is nu pretension left. fur Russia to
to declare war ; but the Christian powers will surely
require something more, as it is necessary that the
Turkish Government should enter into a solemn
treaty not to molest nsr persecute the Greeks in
future, and to restore the churches which the bar-
barons hordes of infidels have destroyed. This treaty
should be entered into with all the Christian powers,
and not alone with Russia, as it would give it more
weight and consequence, and ensure it from being
violated, as the Divan must then know that it can-
not be inisjnged with impunity.

Intended Meeting in Southwark, relative to Sir R.
II dam. —Friday afternoon, Mr. Hall, and several
gentlemen connected with the Borough of South-
wark, waited on the iiigh Bailiff for his answer to
their requisition to call a meeting, to consider of
the adoption of such measures as may appear requi-
. • site, in consequence of the dismissal of Sir Robert
-Wilson from his Majesty's service. The High Bai-
Aft 's ansv et at That he could not call a town
- 101, because fie thought it would be calling in ques-
tion the King's prerogative." The deputation then
asked him if the terms of the requisition was alter-
ed, merely to take into consideration the propriety
of a subscription, whether he would call a mectiug.
He repliA he did not think it required a meeting
culled officially, or an official person to preside.—
The deputation were—Alderman Wood, J. Ryland,
Antisltliald Ryland. and Mr. R. Hall. The requi-
sition was signed by 100 peroos. The deputation
immediately set about getting a notice signed to the
acting magistrate of the district, stating that they
intend holding a Meeting, on Friday next, at the
Town Hall, according to the terms of the Act of
Parliament.
LIVERPOOL, SFPT. 27.—The body of a female
supposed to have been lost in the Earl Moira
packet, has been cast upon the shore near Work-
,ington, where she was discovered by some fishermen
and taken to the' nearest habitation for a coroner's
inquest. The body
,presented a pitiful spectacle,
the dress being all nearly torn away by the ceaseless
agitation of the ruthless element. Sufficient, how-
ever, remained to proclaim that she had been both
young and genteel. Her poor head was much
bruised; end her arms lost from the elbows, the
ell-cc), perhaps, of having clung to sonic refuge.—
She' had on the remains of a black sarsenet pelisse,
lined with satin, a coloured sarsenct gown, with an
under white body, two dimity petticoats, one flan-
nel ditto, together with stays and chemise (very
fine linentmarked H. in a very neat hand)
flannel wysteont, black silk stockings, and handsome
shoes. Ferhaps these particulars may meet the eyes
:of her friends (who are, doubtless, deploring her
fate) and lead to her identity: and, at the same
time, prove a consoling assurance that she was on
the 19th of September, peacefully interred in the
church-yard of Harrington, near Whitehaven.
LORD NORBURY.—So inveterate is the habit of
this Nobleman of inviting, indiscriminately, to "come
and live with him," every man he meets, though no
specific time or place were ever hinted at, that, on
the occasion Of trying some thieves for breaking open
his house in the country, their Counsel asked the
prosecutor gravely, if he did not, On his oath, believe
that his Lordship invited them " to come and live
with bin.?"—The roar of laughter may be easily
conceives'.
• A dreudfil accident happened on Saturday morn-
ing about six o'clock in St. Paul's cathedral. Part
of the scaffolding erected for the repairs withinside
gave way with a tremendous crash, and precipitated
five unfortunate workmen to the bottom. One was
killed upon the spot, and the others are so much
injured that we fear there is little chance of their
recovering.
Om Wednesday last was sold, by order of the Sur-
veyor-General of his Majesty's Office of Works, a
large quantity of valuable materials used for fitting
up the coronation, and some taken front the Courts
of King's Bench and Chancery. There was el.o a
great portion of the timber used for the accommo-
dation of the respectable Italian witnesses, in Cot-
t:m-garden.
