THE LEVANT MAIL:

By the Levant mail we have received Constanti-
nople journals to the 24th ult., and Athens to the
29th ult. The Journal de Constantinople, of the 19th
ult., says:— •
" It is with pleasure that we announce that the diffe-
rent questions pending between Turkey and France re-
ceived,spirit of equity of the Sublime Porte, and the good rela-
tions which
hon Mondayst betweenst, a solution in conformity with the
which will no doubt have for effect to draw those rela-
wexila
the two States. This solution,
rela-
tions still closer, was transmitted the same day to the
Marquis de Lavalette, Ambassador of France, who, the
day after, at about five o'clock in the evening, sent off
the steamer the Chaptal to convey it to his Government."
We read in the State Gazette—
His Imperial Majesty the Sultan having taken the
happy resolution of placing the Tanzimat in vigour in
"
Egypt, as in all the other provinces of the Empire, sent,
some time ago, Fund Effendi to Egypt, charged with the
mission of concerting with the Governor-General on the
modifications required by the state of the province. Fuad
Effendi, after his arrival in Egypt, discussed with the
Governor-General the different modes of executing the
Tanzimat; and when his mission was fulfilled according
to the will of his Imperial Majesty, he returned. After
the conference which took place here on the state of
Egypt with Edhem Pacha and Hairedden Pacha, who
were summoned to Constantinople in virtue of an Imperial
ordonnance, a series of regulations was drawn up, and the
firman relative thereto has emanated from the Imperial
will' Afif Bey, Vice-Chancellor of the Imperial Divan,
has been charged to convey this firman to Egypt, and the
mission of Edhem Pacha and Hairedden Pacha being
terminated, they have had the honour to present their
homages to his Imperial Majesty, who has been kind
enough to allow them to return to Egypt, and to give
them on the occasion a mark of his munificence, in ac-
cording to each
a snuff-box set with diamonds. The
zeal and exertions of Abbas Pacha on the occasion of
the bringing into vigour of the Tanzimat in Egypt, have
confirmed the sincerity of his submission to the Imperial
throne, and have conseqnently deserved the high satis-
faction of his Majesty the Sultan, our august master."
Bands of brigands, fully armed, continued to com-
mit numerous robberies and crimes in Constantinople,
and they had violently resisted the police. Energetic
measures had been taken by the new Minister of
Police, Hairedden Pasha. Namik Pasha had been
nominated Grand Master of the Artillery, and Salim
Pasha General-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard. Said
Pasha, son of the late Mehemet Ali, had had an
audience of the Sultan, and had been very kindly
received. Troops had been sent off to Candle,
and their arrival calmed the agitation which had
for some time existed in the island. The Journal
de Constantinople announces the arrival in the
Dardanelles, on the 17th, of the English cor-
vette, the Modeste, 20 guns, from Corfu. On the
19th it saluted the fort, and the salute was duly re-
turned. She waited for permission to proceed to
Constantinople, and having obtained it, errived there
on the 20th. From this it appears that there is no
truth in the statement of some of the German jour-
nals of her having been fired on by the Turks, for
having attempted to go up the Straits without per-
mission. There is no political news of importance
in the Athens journals. The new Synod had been
formed by Royal ordinance; it consists of three
Archbishops and two Bishops, and the Archbishop of
Athens as president. Further accounts of the grape
blight represent the ravages as very considerable. At
Patras only 1,000,000 will be obtained, instead of
between 15,000,000 and 16,000,000 as usual ; and in
all parts of the country the quality is bad.

DRINKING.—The Springfield (Illinois) Register re-
lates the following :—" In March last three men in this city
agreed to drink themselves to death. The first died in
April, the second in May. The survivor on the happening
of the last event showed signs of breaking the compact, and
he kept sober two or three days afterwards, but honour re-
vived, and he died in June. This is literally true."

5. Pay your men more regularly and oftener; and
give leave, whenever the service will admit.
6. Do not harass and over-exercise them, for it is too
much the present custom to look to seconds in evolutions,
instead of doing it quietly, and well (as a golden rule);
work with the watch, when possible; this cannot be
done in many screw vessels, which are most inefficiently
manned for their spars and sails.
In conclusion, make Your navy self-supporting, and
do not trust to the merchant 'service either for men or
officers, for though many of the latter in that service
doubtless are gentlemen by birth and education, yet this
is far from being the rule, neither have they been
brought up in those strict habits of discipline and im-
plicit obedience which form the soul of our profession;
besides, though it may be an error, I cannot help think-
ing that gentle blood tells, and I terefore agree with
officers,
one of our best who, when he commanded the
R-y, used to say, " Give me a gentleman, and I will
make an officer of him; but I must have a foundation to
go on." Jack also likes a gentleman, for he is essentially
aristocratic in his ideae,
Oat of all the captains' list select men who are not
belonging to th© bilious temperament, as the liver, if out
of order in the captain, deranges the whole system of
the ship he may command. I hope naval tyrants are
nearly extinct; if any are left do not employ them. Jack

could say much on this subject, but these are service
secrets.
If these suggestions were carried out there would be
no want of men for the navy, and the expense would be
trifling.

a correction for increase of population, becomes 1,257.
In comparing the deaths of last week with this ave-

season in 1849.
In the epidemic class of diseases it will be per-
In
that small-pox has become much less fatal in
London than it was at an earlier period of the year.
Twelve cases were registered last week, and among
these is recorded the death of a labourer, at the age a
45 years, in Upper Holloway, who had caught the
disease from one of his children who had not been
vaccinated. It is omitted to be stated whether vacci-
nation had been performed in his case. Last week

satisfactory to observe
that these complaints, usually so fatal among chil-
dren during the summer months, are now on the
decline. The registrar of Fulham, however, calls
attention to the great prevalence of diarrhea at the
present time in part of his district, and also to the bad
sanitary condition of the locality.
Fifty-three deaths are returned as caused by scar-
latina. In Hoxton Old-town' at 8, Old Ivy-street,
the three sous of a apectacle-maker, aged respectively
7 months, 2 years, and 4 years, died of scarlatina
maligns, each after 5 days' illness. Two of the
deaths occurred on the Ist of September, one on the
2d. Mr. Pearce, the registrar, remarks, in reference
to these cases :---." In this house there are frequently
very offensive stnOls, arising from imperfect drainage,
an d having a tendency to produce infectious disease,
The
above cases were in a state of collapse when the
medical attendant was first called in. The fatal re-
sults might have been prevented by proper attention
to cleanliness and seasonable medical aid:

The following are the returns of the 8 cases of
cholera r,gistered in the week. " Surn,iier" has been
sub*tttwed in 3 cases tor " Enghsh" cholera; in 01
the other cases the medical certificates are followt-cl:—

In St. Mary, Paddington, at GO, Westbourne-ork-
villw, on the 27th of August, the widow of a g,ntle-
man, aged 87 years, "summer cholera (3 days)."
In Kensington, at the Potteries, on the 31st
August, the son of a labourer, aged 7 weeks, " cho-
lera infantum." „ .

milk."

In St. Giles, at 4, Neale's-yard, on 30th August,
the daughter of a labourer, aged 1 year and 9 months,
died of diarrhea. Mr. Faulkner, the registrar, re-
ports that "this child died in a most unhealthy house,
crowded with people, and dirty; the deceased was
extremely emaciated, which is not to he wondered at,
considering the wretched place where it lived. At
14, South-street, Islington East, on 30th August, the
son of a hatter, aged 7 years, died of "exhaustion
from diarrhoea." Post mortem. (Inquest.) Mr. But-
terfield mentions that "there are some unfinished
streets in this neighbourhood, the roadways of which
are made the receptacles of all kinds of filth ; on the
evening of the inquest the smell from them was very
offensive."

At Dawes-lane, Walham-green, on 31st August,
the son of a bricklayer's labourer, aged 4 years, died
of ",pneumonia, diarrhcea, and low fever (4 weeks)."
The medical attendant states that " that the houses
in this lane are crowded to excess ; each room in
nearly every case is occupied by a family of from 4 to
6or 7 individuals. There is no drainage, and the
smells are most offensive. Diarrhoea is very prevalent
there now." Mr. Knight, the, registrar, adds, " The
medical officer of the NValham-green district informs
me that the whole of his district is suffering severely,
from diarrhcea and a low sort of fever, which he at-
tributes to preventible causes, such as the overcrowd-
ing of cottages, want of ventilation, and deficiency of
sanitary arrangements."
At 9, James-place, Kennington, on the 28th of Au-
gust, the son of a porter, aged 9 years, died of " ty-
phus (2 weeks)." Mr. Boult, the registrar, reports
that " there is at the back of the house a very bad
open ditch, and the medical man believes that to have
been the cause of the fever." At 62, Ely-place,
Haggerstone West, on the 30th of August, the
daughter of a waiter, aged 8 years, died of " low
fever (6 days)." Mr. Bowring, the deputy-
registrar, mentions that " these houses have very
small yards, and for a long period there has
been stagnant water, caused by the drain being
choked."

In the sub-district of Camden-town, at Weller's-
court, Pancras-road, on the 25th of August, the SON
of a general dealer, aged one iyear, died of " pneu-
monia convulsions (six days)." dr. 1011, the regis-
trar, remarks that " the houses in this court and the
whole locality are old, much dilapidated, and dirty—
indeed, scarcely habitable. Diarrhoea has been very
rife, and, should the cholera unfortunately visit us,
no doubt it would make sad havoc here, as it did in
1849. Sanitary measures which were then adopted
have been neglected, and the inhabitants are in the
same deplorable state as at the time of that out-
break."

A chain-cable maker, aged 49 years died in the in-
firmary of the workhouse, St. Pancras, of " disease
of the brain (14 days)." The deceased had come
from the country to take leave of a friend who was
about to emigrate; the parting had a great effect on
him, and on his reaching the station of the Great
Western Railway to return home a paroxysm seized
him ; the police took him to a place of safety, whence
he was removed to the infirmary.
In Whitechapel North, Thomas-street, on 2d
September, the son of a servant, aged 2 years, died
from "imperfect oxygenation of the blood from in-
haling impure air." At 8, St. Martin's-place, a gen-
tleman, aged 62 years, died of " low fever, the result
of numerous inflammations ; carbuncle (17 days)."
A woman, aged 22 years, died of St. Vitus's dance.
The widow of a sawyer is stated to have died at 5,
Salmon-street, Limehouse, at the great age of 106
years.

ALLEGED OUTRAGE near ROCHESTER.
ROCHESTER, SEPT. B.—Cornelius Hennesy, an
Irishman, 21 years of age, remanded from a previous
sitting, charged with criminally assaulting and ill-
treating Mary Costin, aged 13, at Halling, on the
night of Wednesday, the Ist inst., was brought before
the county magistrates for final examination yester-
day. The case excited much interest, and lasted
several hours.
On the prisoner being placed in the dock, the pro-
secutrix, after being cautioned as to the sanctity of
an oath, again most positively swore that the pri-
soner was the man who had criminally assaulted her.
She then narrated the circumstances of the case,
which have already appeared. She added that she
did not discover any blood on her clothes until the
next day, and that was on the back part of her linen.
She did not recollect meeting any one after it had
happened until she got home. The next morning she
called her mother upstairs, and then for the first time
told what had happened.
By the Court—l knew the prisoner by sight, having
seen him reaping in the barley field a few days before,
when he asked me what o'clock it was.

Elizabeth Spriggs, mother of the prosecutrix, was
next sworn. She said that on the night in question
she was sitting by the fireplace in her own house,
when prosecutrix came home. She said to her, "Mary,
where have you been so long?" to which she replied,
" I don't know ; a man has frightened me so," and fell
on the stairs and began to cry. Witness asked her
twice wbat was the matter, and could get no answer.
Prosecutrix was in a fainting state, and remained
so until seven o'clock the next morning, during
which time she was noisy, and it was as much as two
men could do to hold her. As soon as she revived
witness asked what had happened to her. Prosecutrix
at first said she could not tell her, and continued
crying, but at length did tell her. Witness did not
examine the linen she was wearing at that time. It
was given to her on the previous Sunday, and she
had never worn it before.

Captain Baker (one of the magistrates) said it
seemed most extraordinary that, seeing the state the
girl was in, her mother did not make any examina-
tion, as she might even have been stabbed and have
been bleeding to death.
The Rev. J. Formby, another magistrate—Yes ;
and when I went there and directed her to examine
the child, she said her linen had only two or three
spots of blood about it; and she now produces linen,
saturated from end to end, as if it had come from a
slaughter-house. Witness—lt came off from her.
Mr. Formby—But when I was at your house I
saw a sheep's head, and the Lord knows what on the
table, and it does give me the idea that you must
have wiped the table with that linen, as you told m e
previously that it had only two or three spots upon it.
Captain Baker suggested that the surgeon should
now be examined, before further evidence was gone
into.
Mr. Wiblin, surgeon, of Strood, was accordingly
sworn, and deposed that on Friday evening prose-
eatrix was brought to his house by her parents, and
at their request he proceeded to make an examination.
She was very reluctant, and screamed, and kicked
about so, that he was obliged to call in the assistance
of a third person. There were no marks of violence
of any kind, neither bruise nor scratch, nor any ap-
pearance whatever of recent injury..
Captain Baker—Front the examination you made
of the child, you are of opinion that the marks on the
the linen could not have been caused at the time al-
leged ? Mr. Wiblin—lt is morally impossible. I
am of opinion that there must have been some appear.
ante of bruises had such been the case. I asked the
mother at the time whether there were any bruises
about the child, and she said Imo
Whatever.

John Merchant, of Hailing, a boy 14 years of age,
who cout:: nei.her read nor write, s,,id he passed the
prosecutrix on her way hAne on 'Wednesday night.
She said, " Don't you know me ?" and bade him good
night. She was welling fast, but did not appear
flurried.
Prosecutrix still persisted in stating that she had
no recollecrdou of meeting any one, except the man
and woman and Francis.
George Francis, being sworn, deposed to meeting
the prosecutrix on her way home on Wednesday
night, and said he bade her good night in passing.
His evidence, however, was very contradictory ; for,
at first, he said he heard of it on Tuesday night, al-
though it did not occur until the subsequent evening;
then again he said he was not acquainted with it until
Friday, when he heard of it through Rosebridge, the
constable; and at length he admitted that his wife
had told him of it on Thursday.
Sarah Spriggs, an old widow, was the last witness
examined, whose evidence was a flat contradiction of
that given by the prosecutrix. She stated that the
prosecutrix left her house about seven o'clock in the
evening, and denied that she had any refreshment
there, as prosecutrix had alleged.
The court was then cleared, and on re-admission
of the public, the Rev. Chairman, addressing the
prisoner, said, " You are discharged ; it is the unani-
mous opinion of this Bench that you are not guilty of
the charge that has been brought against you, and we
do not believe one word this girl has said."
The prisoner, who throughout had protested his
innocence, thanked the magistrates, and left the court
amidst the hearty congratulations of a large body of his
associates.

SALE OF TWO COUNTY PRlSONS.—Yesterday, at
Garraway's Coffee-house, the House of Correction for
Brixton, and that of Guildford, were brought to the
hammer by Messrs. Farebrother, Clark, and Lye. The
sale consisted of the freehold sites, and the whole of the
materials forming the building of the gaols. The prison at
Brixton covers an area of five acres, extending from Brixton
hill to Bleak Hall-lane, and was erected about twenty-five
years since at a cost of nearly 40,0001. After some spirited
biddings it was sold for 8,450/. The Guildford House of Cor-
rection occupies a space of about two acres, and was erected
about the same period as Brixton at an outlay of 20,000/.,
and was sold, after a somewhat tedious competition, for
7,1001.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBORO UGH-S TRE ET.
Edward Andrews, a footman in the service of Dr.
Elliotson, 37, Conduit .street, waa brought before Mr.
Bingham, charged with stealing a Post-office order
for the payment of 21s.
The prisoner, who had not a word to say in defence,
was remanded till Friday next.
Since Monday last upwards of seventy young teen
have been sworn in at this court to serve in the East
and West Middlesex Militia. The term of service is
five years, and the whole of them received 103. each,
being the first instalment of the bounty of 61.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Yestsrdav Mary Anne Wilson, an elderly person
of ladylike appearance and address, who was stated to
be the widow of a captain in the East India Company's
service, was brought up before Mr. Hammill, charged
at the instance of the authorities of St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, with the following determined attempt at
self-destruction :
Sergeant Harvey, of the G diviston, stated that on
the morning of the 16th of June last he received in-
formation that an elderly lady had attempted to de-
stroy herself by cutting her throat at the Metropoli-
tan Coffee-house, in the City-road, where she had
engaged an apartment for the night; and upon pro-
ceeding to the house he was shown into a room on
the second floor, where he found the prisoner sitting up
in bed, with a frightful gash in her throat, from which
the blood had gushed in such profusion as nearly to fill
a washhand basin, which she had deliberately placed
before her to receive it. Not observing any instru-
ment about the place with which such an injury
could have been inflicted, he questioned her upon the
subject, and was informed by the prisoner, who was
scarcely able to articulate that she had committed the
act with a table knife, which she had flung out of the
window, and that it would be quite useless for him to
trouble himself at all on her account, as she had pre-
viously taken also a quantity of arsenic, and at the
same time pointed to an empty phial, with the word
" Poison" printed upon it, which was lying upon the
bedclothes at her side. Witness instantly sent for a
surgeon, under whose directions she was at once re-
moved to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where she
had ever since remained, and in the course
of subsequent visits to her at that insti-
tution be had ascertained from her that her
late husband, who was the captain of an Indiaman,
had died of cholera at Calcutta about two years sin ce,
and that her only son, who was also a junior officer
in the Company's service, had shortly after fallen
a victim to the same terrible visitation. She
then went on to state that at the time of their decease
she wes herself residing in Devonshire, in comfort
and respectability, supported by a handsome income
to which her husband and son jointly contributed,
but which altogether ceesed in consequence of that
calamity ; and after disposing of the whole of her
jewellery and other valuables for subsistence, she was
reduced to such a state of distress and privation that
she was compelled to make her way up to the metro-
polis on foot, in the hope of discovering a sister, from
whom she had been a long time separated, but who
she felt satisfied was in a condition to render her as-
sistance. This toilsome journey she completed on
the night of the 15th of June last, but upon reaching
town, completely exhausted and footsore with inces-
sant walking, she was grieved to find that her small
stock of money had been so reduced that she had
scarcely sufficient left to provide her with a night's
lodging, which she engaged at the coffee-house be-
fore mentioned, but was so completely overcome by a
sense of her forlorn and friendless position that she
made up her mind to terminate her life and her
wretchedness together.
Mr. Thomas Sparkes, steward to St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, intimated to the magistrate that the case of
the unfortunate woman had excited considerable sym-
pathy and attention on the part of the committee of
that institution, who had exerted themselves with a
view of discovering her friends, but without effect;
and, as her mind had evidently been seriously im-
paired by the calamities and sufferings she had un-
dergone, and she had recently been heard to express
her determination to destroy herself at the first op-
portunity, they felt it to be their duty to give her into
custody, that some means might be adopted for her
future protection.
The magistrate put several questions to the priso-
ner with a view of eliciting the state of her mind, and
she in each instance returned such a rambling and
incoherent answer as to render it perfectly manifest
that she was labouring under mental aberration.
Mr. HAMMILL said that it was certainly a very
melancholy case; but, as the unhappy woman was
at present clearly not in such a condition es would
justify her being intrusted with her liberty, he should
order ber to be remanded for a week to the House of
Detention, that the state of her mind might be posi-
tively ascertained, and proper means adopted for in-
suring her personal safety.
CLERKEN WELL.
Yesterday Sarah Dunn, 18 years of age, wes
placed at the bar before Mr. Currie, charged with at-
tempting to commit suicide.
It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Margaret
Poole, of No. 5, Lizard-street, St. Luke's, that she
was formerly acquainted with the parents of the pri-
soner. Her father was a respectable solicitor in the
City-road, who gave her a liberal education. He died
about nine years ago, and her mother four years since,
leaving her destitute, when the prisoner was com-
pelled to obtain a situation as servant, but she was
obliged, through illness, to leave her service, and
witness was induced, from motives of charity, to re-
ceive and protect her under her roof, but she was
constantly in a state of melancholy. Yesterday morn-
ing she was informed that the prisoner had taken a
quantity of oxalic acid, which she (witness) kept in
the house for the purpose of taking out stains. She
found her suffering under the pains of the poison,
which she admitted having taken. She immediately
had her conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital,
where she was attended to, and sbe was subsequently
brought to this court. The prisoner had no friends
or relations to assist her, except witness ; and, her cir-
cumstances not being sufficient, she had urged the pri-
soner to go into the workhouse.
Sarah Jones saw the prisoner with the poison,

not to do such a foolish thing ; but she mixed it with
water and swallowed it off, when witness made an
alarm.
The prisoner, who had been supported into court
in a weakly state, was allowed to be seated during
the examination.
Mr. COERCE addressed her in a mild
g
manner, and told her that sbe ought not to give
to such depression. If she was in

EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF ROBBERY BY AN EXCITY
POLICEMAN.--Yesterday Wiliianz Barry, formerly a
constable in the City police, was brought up by
Lockerby and Bow, active officers of the S division,
and placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged
with having robbed the houses of two licensed vic-
tuallers of property to a considerable amount; and it
is imagined that the prisoner has for some time car-
f
ried on his system of depredation in various parts o
London.
Mr. W. Howell, Moreton Arms, lientish-towe-
road, deposed that on Friday evening last, about seven
o'clock, he went up to his bed-room to dress himself,
and that when he left the said apartment shortly
afterwards his property therein was all safe. At
nine, in consequence of information which he bad
received, he went again to his room, which be ascer-
tained had been entered and a vast number of articles
abstracted therefrom, consisting of three sets ofher gold
stud., five shirts, and several waistcoats, toget
a pair of razors, many pairs of gloves, &C.
Thomas Clark, the potman, stated that at eight on
the evening in question the prisoner entered the pip:
lie room upstairs, and was there served with
gin and
water ; upon his paying for it he remarked that be
was going out for a short time, and asked witness t.°
inform a person named Stone, in the event of his cab
ins, that he should be back in a quarter of an hour;
who be:
In twenty minutes after this the prisoner,
not been seen to go out, rang the bell, and had sorn
more gin and water supplied to him, and shortly
the pre
-
fore nine o'clock he made his egress from
mises, carrying with him a bundle.
Other evidence was gone into, from which it ar
peared, upon inquiry being instituted by Lokl,
and Bow, that the gold studs had been pledged...for.
the prisoner for ten shillings at the shop of 13'„,
Harrison, Somers-town. Finding that the Po,;',''''...
were in quest of him, a party called on Pl'
Howell with the view of coming to an arrangement,
about the studs, and it was understood that be (Portils
soner) was to call for that purpose on the previous
day (Tuesday); he did so, and was then
custody, Lockerby having by arrangement
give° 1;c1
himself in the place. In his lodging in sear!

also a great portion of the articles etolen.
