STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER CATTLE-MARKET, AUG. 23.—We had a
',nod slow of stock to-day of all kinds. The weather
b, unusu.dly warm, caused the butchers to buy unusnally
sparin2,ly. In consequence both beef and mutton were a
little lower, whilst lamb Wd3 ltl, pe.: lb. cheaper. In pork
no variation, bat veal was fully 11-d. pqr lb. below former
rates, with dull sale. Beasts, 690 ; Sheep, 3,750 ; Lambs,
3,1250 ; Pigs, 570 ; Calves, 27.—Total, 8.257.
MANCHESTER COTTON-MARKET, AUG. 95.—We have
again to announce a very decided improvement in every
branch of the cotton manufacture. Many mills which had
only been worked three or four days per week, are again
in full activity. The demand for twist was hardly ever
known more brisk, and prices of low number have ad.
vanced from the lowest point fully 10 per cent. Fustians
hare crept up fully as much. Power-loom cloth for eslico
printers is in good request, and goods which a month ago
only brought 6s. 6d., sell readily to-lay at 7s. I,ljd. Strong
domestic cloth is folly ad. per yard higher, which en an
article of 3d. or 3!;r1. value, is a good commencement.
Several print works, which have been shut up for some
months, are again in partial operation. The poor hand-
loom weavers are much more fully employed ; and this de-
cf cloth is now looked after. Stocks of all our
staple articles are by rip ,i;c:lns heavy. Money is plentiful,
and discounts easy for legitimate hills.

WOOLLEN TRADE.—ROCHDALE FLANNEL I.llaar:ET,
A ea. 21.—The improvement noticed for the last three
weeks in superfine flannels has not only been the case again
this week, but has extended to inferior qualities ; and the
demand is good for all descriptions. There arc now few if
any complaints for the want of employment, especially for
good hands. The wool trade has likewise partaken of the
improvement, and in some cases, for very choice lots, an
advance has been made.
LEEDS.—The business done in our Cloth Halls this
week has been considerable, and at improving prices. It
is now scarcely doubted but that the trade during the winter
will exceed the expectations of the most sanguine, whose
opinions were deemed so gloomy only a short time since.
Confidence seems altogether quite restored.
HUDDICI:SFIELD.—The dulness which pervaded our mar-
ket last week has disappeared to a great extent, and we
have to notice an increased trade, with an advance on
almost every article ; though this advance is but trifling, it
puts all into good spirits.
HattFax.—There is bet little to notice again as to the
state of our market, except in the increased demand for
yarns, on which there has been an advance from the lowest
points of about 2d. per lb. The tendency is to advance in
piece goods.
BRADFORD.—The very favourable report which we were
able to afford last week of the state of our market, may
again be repeated this week, there being a very good de-
mand for goods at fully last week's rates. Yarns are more
inquired after, and if any alteration in value, it is in favour
of the seller. All parties seem in good spirits now that
things have taken a decided turn for the better. Wool con-
tinues to advance.

BOULOGNE, A UG.24.-An alarming report reached
here this morning, via Dover, which created considerable
alarm and consternation amongst those English residents
who expected the arrival of their friends by the Harlequin
steamer, which left London yesterday at one o'clock in the
afternoon, and ought to have arrived here early this morn-
ing. The report stated that the boiler of the Harlequin,
when off Gravesend, burst with a tremendous explosion,
killing three passengers and severely maiming several
others ; and it was not until the arrival hero of the Royal
Sovereign steamer, at four o'clock this afternoon, that the
true account reached us ; which appears to be, that some
defect having been discovered in the boiler of the Harle-
quin, when off Gravesend, the Royal Sovereign was sent
for from London, when the passengers of the Harlequin,
eighty in number, embarked on board of her, without the
slightest accident occurring to any one of them.
The Turkish Ambassador has arrived in Dublin,
and appears to excite much curiosity. He visited the Bank
and other public buildings, escorted by the Lord Mayor.
A few days since two Sligo gentlemen, Messrs.
Griffith and Kelly, met some distance from Dallagderreen,
for the purpose of fighting a duel, but were prevented by
a large mob, who obliged Mr. Griffith to fly for his life.
We have been informed that were it not for the exertions
of Mr. Myles J. M‘Donnell, a magistrate, the mob would
have sacrificed the opponent of Mr. Kelly, who, it appears,
was their favourite. The gentlemen exchanged shots after-
wards at some place in the county Sligo.—MayoConslitution.
A loving couple were yesterday married in St.
Swithin's, who began immediately to taste of the jars of
matrimony. A quarrel took place between them, upon
which the bridegroom locked the bride in the house and
left ; and shortly after she jumped from the chamber window
and broke her thigh.—Lincoln Gazette.

Mr. Carter, one of the present Members for Ports.
mouth, is reported to be about to resign, on the ground of
ill health. Captain Berkeley, the unsuccessful candidate
for Gloucester, is already in the field.

Last week as a lady was travelling by coach from
Preston, she suddenly expired before the coach had mot out
of the town. She had taken inside places for herself and a
little (laughter who W a with her, for Liverpool, from which
town she intended to sail kr Calcutta, where her husband
res:ee .

At present holiday-mating Cita amuse themselves
by proceeding to Greenwich or Gravesend, in steamers, and
in Tiering the rural scenery around. Formerly the Cock-
neys on Sundays used to hire wherries to convey them a
short way down the river, to view the vibbets on the right
bank of the river, on which the bodies of the malefactors
were suspended in those most barbarous times.

13y advices from Salonica, dated the 28th ult., it
appears there were pirates off Lemnos, and that they had
plundered several small vessels in the passage between
Mount Athos and Lemnos, consequently Greek gunboats
were then stationed off Dolb. A Greek schooner which
arrived at Salonica on the morning of the 28th, reported
that one of these frigates had left Smyrna in pursuit of
pirates off Lemnos. The plague was still making terrible
ravages in the town of Salonica, and the number of deaths
continued, as it had done for the last month, to average
sixty per day.

'resterdav was the day appointed for the election cf
the sixteen RopreAentative Peers for Scotland. No oppc-
sition was contemplated to the Noble Lords who sat in the
last Parliament.

The plague was still making terrible ravages in the
town of Salonica, and the number of deaths continued, as
it had done for the last month, to average 60 per day.
The other day, as a gentleman named Tonkin, who
resides in Southampton-street, Pentonville, was proceeding
in his gig through King William-street, London Bridge, in
company with a friend, the horse, a very spirited animal,
commenced plunging, and both gentlemen were thrown from
the gig, without sustaining any material injury. In the
vehicle was a bag containing upwards of 200/ , all in silver,
which Mr. Tonkin had just been collecting. The bag was
ejected from the gig with such force upon the pavement as
to burst, scattering the money in all directions. The whole
of it, however, was recovered to a sixpence, although a
great crowd had collected. A butcher's boy had nearly
filled all Lit pockets with the coin, and was making off,
when a gentleman noticed him, and seizing him by the col-
lar caused him to refund.
SPIRIT OF THE CHURCH.—Under this heed the
Scotsman of Wednesday last publishes a list of the Estab-
lished Clergymen in the county who have voted at last
Mid-Lothian election for the Tory candidate, Sir George
Clerk. Not one of the Established Clergymen within the
county voted for Mr. Craig. " This (says our Contem-
porary) is a specimen of what has occurred at every dis-
puted election in Scotland. We have repeatedly asserted,
that the Church of Scotland has abandoned its original and
legitimate position.—that it is no longer the people's Church,
but a Tory institution, firmly leagued with the people's
ewmies. Wtre we wrong ?"
METIIOD OF FLYING.—Mr. Courtney's flight is
accomplished by stretching a line of rope " half taught"
across the space about to be flown, merely, we presume, to
to guide him in his course. To this support the uniladged
biped or quadruped, is appended lengthways by belts sur-
rounding its body, fastened to blocks through which the
rope is rove, and thus suspended and let off from the top,
it finds its way to the bottom, by the slanting- line of road,
as a matter of course, provided no impediment interpose
to stop its career. Mr. Courtney's attempt to perform his
Wonderful feat on Wednesday, however, turned out a com-
plete
failure, and showed that such attempts are attended
with considerable risk to life and limb, for he had not got
more than ten (Sr fifteen yards down the rope, when in
consequence of his running tackle having get jammed, he
stuck quite fast, and being suspended over the brow of the
cliff in middle air he dangled like a teare-crow in a potatoe
field, to the great alarm of the spectators. In this rather
awkward predicament he remained for nearly twenty
minutes, when he was drawn hack to the top of the cliff,
from whence he did not. attempt to fly again that evening ;
but. on Thursday afternoon, having overhauled his running
gear. and put it in better trim, he made a successful and
expeditious trip.—Dover Chloniele,
CLERGY.—The Lord Bishop of this diocese held
a confirmation at the Old Church on yesterday (Friday),

LONDON.
SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26 1837.

The friends of Reform in Cromarty have lately en-
tertained Mr. M‘LEOD, the new Member for the In-
verness district of Boroughs, at a public dinner in
that town. The speech delivered by the Honourable
Gentleman, on his health being drunk, will be found
in another part of our Paper. Mr. NPLEop, it will
be seen, enters into the discussion of the main topics
which at present agitate the political world, and, in
doing this, displays a degree of talent, which places
him in full as strong a contrast with Mr. CUMMING
BRUCE, the gentleman whom he has succeeded, as
do the liberality of his opinions, and the healthy tone
of his religious sentiments. We heartily congratulate
the constituency of the Inverness Boroughs on the
exchange which they have made.

We are glad to perceive that the indecent proceed-
ings of the Norwich Clergy towards their liberal
Diocesan are attracting the public attention in an ex-
traordinary manner. The attempt to put a slight upon
a Bishop cannot be very highly approved of by
the Church-and-State people, who' are always
sticklers for paying due respect to the office, whatever
may be the character of the individual filling it for the
time. They, therefore, have no patience with the
Evangelicals—whorn they love not on other grounds—
who pretend to smell heresy or something like it in the
sermon of the Right Reverend Prelate. They would
have wished the usual course to be pursued, in which
case, they say, much less mischief would have been
done, as the sermon, whatever it might contain, would
have had a fair chance of passing sub silentio ;
whereas, by the ridiculous conduct of the fanatical
Lord BAYNING and his coadjutors, the public atten-
tion has been whetted, and the circulation of the ob-
noxious production secured, beyond v;-hat could have
been effected by thousands of advertisements.
We cordially agree with those who reason thus, in
condemning the shortsightedness of these narrow-
minded bigots ; but we most heartily rejoice that it is
likely to be attended with a result so beneficial to the in-
terests of religion and charity, as the extensive dissemina-
tion of Dr. STANLEY'S sermon will unquestionably be.
We are happy to inform the public that they will soon
have an opportunity of gratifying their best feelings by
the perusal of it. The Corporation of Norwich have
made ample amends for the indecorous conduct of the
Clergy, by requesting the Bishop to allow this much
calumniated sermon to be published, to which the
Right Rev. Prelate has consented.

Our Contemporary the Morning Post, in an article
absurdly laudatory of the many public virtues of the
Tories, observes, " The Conservatives will accom-
plish improvements if they can be accomplished tran-
quilly, but they will not attempt to borrow power
from public excitement. It will ever be their pride, as
it ever has been, that their influence is greatest when the
people are most calm." This is as rich a piece of cool
effrontery as we have met with for many a day.
Every one, who has the slightest acquaintance with
the political history of the last forty or fifty years and
upwards, knows right well, that so far from the
Tories possessing most power when the country was
most calm, the very reverse was the fact. They throve
upon Church and King mobs—witness the memorable
riots at Birmingham, when those learned and eminent
men, PARR and PRIESTLEY, narrowly escaped with
their lives, from the ferocity of a set of ignorant
savages, stimulated by Tory agents—they were kept
in office by the adroit way in which they kept up the
strong prejudices of the Squirearchy and Yeomanry
(mere passive tools in their hands) against the " very
mention of the word Reform ;" and, in short, main-
tained their influence at Court solely by their constant
pandering to the basest passions of the very dregs of
the community. Whenever the country had more
leisure than usual to reflect calmly on the state of
public affairs, such leisure never failed to be de-
trimental to the interests of the Tories, the
ruling principle of whose policy invariably was—Self,
nothing hut Self. But if, to repeat the sug:festion of
our Contemporary, the influence of these men really
was the greater in proportion to the tranquillity of the
country, how was it that for years and Years of their
protracted official existence, they were incessantly occu-
pied in building gaols and barracks all over the king-
dom ? Surely such buildings are anything but symp-
tomatio of a state of public content and tranquillity !
ft is but justige, however, to the Tories, to state that
in the decrepitude of age, they ovineed tokens of some-
thing very like remorse for their past political misdeeda,
and accordingly abandoning their favourite hobby of
gaols and barracks, they applied themselves diligently to
the erection of churches; like the old worn-out tyrants in

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 1837

he feudal times, who, after spending the most vigorous
years of their life in persecuting their subjects in every
possible way, used, in their dotage, to erect and endow
churches, in the hope thereby of making reparation to
heaven and man for their past acts of tyranny. Before
our ingenious Contemporary next ventures on the ha-
zardous step of praising the tranquil and beneficent
sway of the Tories, we trust he will carefully peruse
the history of Ireland for the last half-century.

New York Papers to the Ist instant inclusive, were
received in Liverpool yesterday, whence they were
forwarded by express to London. They were brought
by the American Packet-ship Orpheus, which, in
company with the Shakspeare, sailed for Liver-
pool from New York on the Ist instant.
Both vessels had on board a large quantity
of specie on account of London American Houses.
The exact am 'tint cannot be ascertained before the
arrival of the Shakspeare, but the Orpheus is stated
to have brought 360,000 dollars. Trade was rapidly
improving, and gold and silver again becoming plenti-
ful. These papers bring no news of a non-commercial
character.

The Iberia steamer which arrived at Falmouth on
Thursday, has brought letters and papers from Lisbon
to the 21st inst.—eight days later than the advices re-
ceived yesterday. The intelligence they bring is im-
portant. The Duke of TERCEIRA left Lisbon a few
days previously, accompanied by Brigadier-Generals
Barons DE SERRA DE PIDLAR, DE MONTE PE-
DRAL, and DE CAZAL, Baron DE LOUREIRO, late
Premier of the kingdom, and Secretary at War ; Ge-
neral AZEREDO, Colonels PINTO DE SAAVEDRA,
IVIAGALHARs, and about five hundred other persons,
most of them of considerable influence ; and after
taking forty horses from the Royal Stables at
Belem—apparently with the sanction of Prince FER-
DlNAND—proceeded to the head quarters of the
Marquis of SALDANHA, and declared for the Charter!
This is significant. It cannot now be doubted but
that the QUEEN and PRINCE ROYAL only wait
a favourable opportunity to re-proclaim the Charter.
Donna MARIA is about to prove herself a worthy
descendant of Don JOHN VI., for, by such a Cabinet
as now directs the administration of Portugal, it would
be the sheerest absurdity to imagine the Constitution
could be upheld. Before the Duke of TERCEIRA
left Lisbon, under the treacherous pretext of defending
Mafra against the rebels, he was long closeted with
the QUEEN and PRINCE ROYAL, so that her MA-
JESTY may be presumed privy to all the schemes of the
insurgents.
On the 18th SALDANHA and TERCEIRA were at
Rio Maior, at the head of a numerous force, preparing
for an attack upon the capital. SALDANHA'S career
up to that time had been singularly successful. On
the 10th he entered Coimbra at the head of 760 in-
fantry, 530 cavalry, and a staff composed of 56 offi-
cers. His reception by the authorities and National
Guards is described as enthusiastic. After levying
contributions to a large amount, he proceeded to
Pombal, where his division was augmented by the
junction of some moveable battalions and a host of vo-
lunteers. The National Guards of Leiria and A lcobaga
likewise joined the rebels ; so that when SALDANHA
arrived at Rio Maior he found himself in a condition
to await, with the certainty of victory, the approach of
the Constitutional army under the Baron DE BOMFIM.
In fact the latter had only 500 infantry, 150 cavalry,
and three field-pieces ; whereas SALDANHA'S force
consisted of 1,300 infantry, 670 cavalry, and a host of
stragglers, for whom only arms were wanted. SAL-
DANIIA,too, had received a large supply of money from
abroad ; and, during his march, had practised a system
of wholesale appropriation, to which a regular Govern-
ment, in its greatest emergency, could not have had
recourse. This gave him an immense advantage over
a Cabinet internally contemptible, beset with treason,
and without a fraction of money wherewith to dis-
charge its pecuniary obligations.
Discouraging as is this view of the affairs of Por-
tugal, some hope might be entertained, could we rely
with confidence upon the patriotism of the Cortes.
But to expect succour from such a quarter would be
indeed to lean upon a broken reed. During the pro-
gress of SALDANHA from Coimbra to Rio Maior,
this assembly occupied itself with legislating for Mat-
tadores and midwives—regulating the laws of bull-
fights and of nature, as far as regards her most faithful
MAJESTY'S accouchment ! When, however, they
could no longer conceal even from themselves that the
rebels were with their feet on the threshhold of the
chamber, they voted the drawing up of a pro-
clamation to the people—the resignation of
Ministers as a reflection upon the Court—and the
appointment of a Committee to report upon the neces-
sity of arming the population indiscriminately. In all
these crude measures, we see but evidences of the im-
becility of the Cortes, who evidently know nothing of
what they ought to do. In the meantime, the fidelity
of the troops cannot be relied upon. They begin to
suspect the real sentiments of the QUEEN ; and when
opportunities occur, desert in considerable numbers to
the enemy. In the city of Oporto 20,0001. sterling
has been raised and forwarded to SALDANHA,
while the Government cannot raise a fraction in
the shape of a voluntary contribution. Thus do
matters stand in Portugal at present ; and thus in all
human probability will they continue, until after the
QUEEN'S accouchement. When that has occurred,
things will take a decided turn. Should SALDANII A be
at hand, the QUEEN and PRINCE ROYAL—no longer
apprehensive of her MAJESTY'S personal safety—will
probably terminate the struggle by joining the Char-
terists. Whatever be the determination of the Court,
we believe SALDANIIA to be in its confidence.

The whole of the French papers of Thursday have
been received, in which we find no intelligence of a
later date than the accounts received yesterday. We
have extracted all that they contain of any importance
relative to the change of the Madrid Cabinet. They
will he found to co►►firm all that we stated upon this
subject. Seeing no grounds for either changing
or qualifying our sentiments respecting the ap-
pointment of EsPARTERO to the Premiership, we
will await later advices from Madrid before returning
to an examination of the means by which he contrived
to oust the CALATRAVA Administration. The fol-
lowing extracts include the latest intelligence from the
Peninsula :

THE NEW SPANISH CABINET.
(From the Journal des Debuts.)

The new Minister for Foreign Affairs, M. Bardaxi, ne-
phew of the celebrated Chevalier d'Azara, has a consider-
able teputatinn in Europe, and rendered as Diplomate and
Minister, and likewise as Member of the Regency in the
' island of Leon during the war of independence, the greatest
services to his country. M. Bardaxi has been the Repre-
sontative of Spain in almost all the Courts of Europe, ex-
cept London. He solicitel at Vienna and St. Petersburg
successively the alliance of the Emperor of Austria and the
Emperor of Russia at the time when Spain was engaged in
its struggle with the French armies, which it carried on
with a spirit and courage to which Frenchmen now do jus-
tice. After having been Minister at Paris during the Con-
' stitutional periud, he accepted the portfolio for Foreign
Affairs in a Cabinet composed of moderate men like himself,
who in vain endeavoured at the same time to resist the
exalted party, and to reconcile that of the Court with the
Constitution. It is Bardaxi and Espartero who now give
the colour to the new Spanish Ministry. With the one the
revolution has been accomplished in the principles of the
moderate party, in the principles of M. Isturis and Marti-
nez de la Rosa ; of all the honourable men, in fact, whom
the lesnrrection of the juntas in September, 1885. and the
events of La (Ira*, a year afterwards, took away from
public affairs, or even forced into exile ; with the other the
revolution has been accomplished, in order to give the
army, if not, as 19 to be hoped not, more importance in the

State, at least a large portion of the thoughts and cares of
the Government, a great vigour, and a more stable impulse.
The following biographical sketches of the persons form-
ing the new Spanish Ministry, appear in Sicele as strictly
authentic :

Espartero, Comm ►nder-in-Chief of the Army—Suffi-
ciently known for his deeds, cr rather his not doing any-
thing in his military command.
Bardaxi, Minister for Foreign Affairs—He was minis-
ter under the Cortes at Cadiz during the war of indepen-
dence ; afterwards ambassador in Sicily, in Portugal, at
Vienna, at St. Petersburg, at Turin, and dt Paris in 1821,
whence he was recalled to take the post of minister for
foreign affairs. He has remained exiled upon his estates
since 1823. He was one of the proccres under the royal
statute, and president of the section for foreign affairs in the
royal council.

Vaddlo, an advocate of Cadiz—He was a deputy in the
Cortes of IS2O, and Minister of the Colonies after the 7th
of July, In 2. He afterwards emigrated, and did not re-
turn to Spain until after the death of Ferdinand VII.
Salvato, an advocate of Darcelona--.He was deputy in
1822, then emigrated, and did nut return until after the
death of the King. He has been in latter years crown
advocate of the Royal Court of Corunna, and deputy from
Catalonia.

Pia Pita Pizarro, deputy from Zamora—He was not
long ago minister of the interior, after having been civil
governor of Galicia and Madrid.
Evariste San Miguel, Minister for Foreign Affairs, in
1822, after the 7th of July. He was the author of the
famous answers of January, 1823, to tho diplomatic notes
of Russia, Austria, Prussia, and France. He emigrated,
returned after the death of Ferdinand VII., made the
Navarre campaign, and recovered Cantavieja from the
Carlists in the month of October, 1836. HI was nomi-
nated Captain-General of Aragon, and on the Ist of
August, 1836, declared himself against the Statute and

" VALLADOLID, Ace. 8, 1837.—We are threatened
with an attack on the part of the Carlists. There has been
a meeting of the authorities to devise means for defending
the town. A few fortifications have been hastily got up,
which, however, will serve for nothing in case of a serious
attack. We have but very few troops. The national
militia is continually under arms ; all the night long large
bodies of patrol are in the streets, and a company remains
in reserve. Almost all the population of Valladolid, as is
well known, is Carlist. A considerable movement took
place among them a few days ago, and a considerable num-
ber of persons were arrested in consequence.
" The Carlist junta of Castile is established at San
Leonardo, where, it appears, it is actively employed in
forming and organising the battalions, composed of the
young men who offer themselves to the Carlist Chiefs as
volunteers from every part of the province. In the course
of this week more than a hundred have disappeared from
this place ; and as no one knows what has become of them,
there is every reason to suppose that they are gone—like
many others—to swell the ranks of the defenders of the
Carlist cause. Three or four of them belong to the Na-
tional militia.—Gasette de France.

Official accounts have been received from Upper Italy
respecting the movements of the Austrian forces. Some
months hence ten battalions and six squadrons reinforced
(without being incorporated int• them), the division form-
ing the line of the Po, which rests on Pavia Cremona and
Mantua. The kingdom of Naples was said at the time to
be their intended destination. These supplementary troops
have lately received orders to march to Pelesetta, a fron-
tier town, on the road leading to the Pope's States, and a
battery of artillery, which was stationed at Rovigo, was to
have proceeded in the same direction. On the other hand,
preparations, evidently directed against the patriots, have
been made at Bologna, and two battalions quartered at
Ferrara, have already
.sent on their baggage.—Courier
Francais.

On the 3d instant a splendid aerial sight was witnessed
by the inhabitants of Lopersdorf, in Switzerland. At 8
o'clock in the evening, when the sky appeared lurid, and
there were only a few light clouds, an ignited globe sud-
denly appeared from the south-east, crossed the air with
the rapidity of a cannon-ball, above the mountain of
Schwengimatt, throwing out in its passage radiant sparks,
and terminated it. course to the N.W., above Brunnersberg.
Professor Hugi published the following account of this
phenomenon in the Feuille Soleuroise :—" In the environs
of Subingen a meteor, or irregular mass of fire, was seen
to rise above Aeschi. It then proceeded obliquely in the
direction of the north, extinguished itself; and again ignited,
and approached the mountain with a continually increasing
swiftness. At Soleure, some persons only perceived the
luminous and inflamed track it left in its passage. At
Marendorf, we beheld the superb globe of fire form-
ing un arch, extending from Scwengimatt to Mount
Guggcl, and passing above the valley with extraordinary
rapidity. Travellers, who were on the road of Langen-
brugg to Holderbanck saw it, on the contrary, direct its
course from north to south, over the vale. It hence appears
that the meteor originated between Wynigen and Huttwyl,
in the shape of a mass of inflamed vapours, which assumed
a more solid consistency and a globular form as it approached
the mountain, crossed afterwards with redoubled rapidity,
and at a height of between 5,000 and 7,000 feet, the space
above the Klus, and then vanished in the upper region of
the atmosphere."—Courrier Francais.

TOULON, AUG. 19.—The movements we perceive to-
day in the roads, are calculated to convince us that somo
great event is at band ; but where it is to come to pass, and
what its nature is, remain a complete mystery for us.
Yesterday a telegraphic despatch enjoined the Maritime
Prefect to order in the vessels of the division of Admiral
Gallois, if they had sailed for the Levant, and to consign
all the crews on beard, so that they might be ready to put
to sea at a moment's notice. An order was likewise re-
ceived for the Trident to hold herself in readiness to sail
immediately.
The telegraph was working during the whole of this day.
The steamer Styr left at noon for Bona, having on board 25
surgeons, going to attend the numerous sick of the army of
operations. At three o'clock in the afternoon the ships of
the line Jupiter, commanded by M. Quesnel, having on
board Rear-Admiral Gallois ; the Santi Petri, commanded
by M. Guerin des Essarts ; and the Ti ideal, by M. Mau-
dult Duplessis, put to sea, steering in a westerly direction.
The steamers Fulton, Tartare, and Ciocodik, have just
been ordered to sail for an unknown destination ; they are
now putting on their steam and will depart during the night.
Perhaps we may know tomorrow the cause of all this
movement ; to-day surmises alone are possible. The de-
parture of the Styx for Bona, and of the Rainier for Al-
giers, would indicate that Africa is not the destination of
these forces, unless it be intended to evatriate Bona, where
a cruel malady is now raging.—Courrier Francais.

Colonel Wildman, the friend of Lord Byron, and
now possessor of Newstead Abbey, is entertaining a dis-
tinguished party there, for the beginning of the shooting
season. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex has
promised to pay Newstead a visit during the autumn.
HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Mr. Webster has
added Mrs. Waylett and Mrs. Fitzwilliam to his already
powerful company. Mr. Phelps makes his debut in Shylock
on Monday next. He comes from the Theatre Royal,
Exeter. The receipts of this theatre have this season
been unprecedented since the memorable Paul Pry success.
Mr. Webster purposes keeping the theatre open till the
15th of January.
BEULAH SPA.—On Thursday the second grand
show of the Metropolitan Society of Florists and Amateurs
took place at the Beulah Spa. The assemblage of com-
pany was more than usually numerous. The gardens were
visited by almost all the fashionables who yet remain in
town, and by all the residents in the country adjacent to
the immediate spot on which the entertainments were pro.
vided. The display of flowers and shrubs was splendid.
In the archery ground there was some good shooting at the
butts, and a ♦ariety of minor amusements contributed to
keep the company in good humour for many hours. The
successful candidates were awarded their several prizes in
the course of the day.

TIIE BATTLE OF NAvARINO.--Notwithstanding
all that has been said on this great event, it must unques-
tionably be regarded as a most fortunate one for all parties
connected with it ; for nothing else but some such impor-
tant coup could have put an end to the miserable anarchy
and bloodshed that had for so many years distracted ono
party, and threatened to utterly exterminate the other. To
the sympathy and bravery of the three allied Powers, do
the Greeks owe their countey.—Cochrane's Wanderings in
