EXPEDITION AGAINST ALGIERS.

Letters received by the Aleteor steamer, arrived
from the Mediterranean, communicate some infor-
mation respecting Algiers, with which we have
hitherto been unacquainted. It appears that the
Dey, is straining every nerve to give the French
expedition a warm reception. The fortifications
have been surveyed by European engineers, em-
ployed by the Dey, to whose suggestions he has
lent a ready ear, and the batteries on the seaside are
now deemed impregnable. The Dey's corps of ob-
servation, amounting to 85,000 men, 30,000 of
which are of the new organization (disciplined after
the European manner), have been maintained for
the last s'x months in constant readiness to act, with
all the requisite materiel for a sturdy contest with a
nation to whom they have an hereditary dislike,
and however presumptuous it may seem, it is, never-
theless, true, that the raw-boned Algerines court the
opportunity of trying their Damascus blades against
their formidable enemies, and point to Acre as a
proof what Mussulmen can do in the breach against
the French bayonet. In fact, the enthusiasm of the
Mahometans is at the highest pitch.
Inspiring songs are sung in the streets of Algiers,
and the Dey has said that should the town be
invested by the French, all the women will be sent
into the interior, and having laid up provisions for
two years' siege, he will defy the utmost power of
France. It is clear that the capture of Algiers
will be no easy matter, though we read in the French
Journals that a division of the Dey's territory has
already been agreed upon between France and
Egypt. Little or no danger may be dreaded from
attack by sea, and the obstacles on the land side are
of a formidable description. The Mussulman is no
contemptible enemy behind his batteries. The
French will find it difficult to keep up a regular
communication between the land and sea forces;
and they will not be able to procure supplies from the
interior, as that will be occupied by the flying
African corps, which will cut off al), stragglers or
small detachments. The climate will also be found
inimical in the low lands behind the:city, where water
is scarcely to be had, and the beat is oppressive.—

The Bishop of GLOUCESTER (Dr. Monk)
is to have the stall in Westminster Abbey, and wflich is to
be permanently attached to that poor See.

A most lamentable case of hylrophobia has
just occurred at the Lord Howick public-house, in Wool-
wich. In the early part of January, the servant of Mr.
LATRAICT, the landlord of the Lord Ilowick, was attacked
by his master's dog, and, upon his giving an alarm, Mr.
L.'s nephew went to his assistance, whom the dog bit be-
fore he could be secured. 'I he animal showing symptoms
of hydrophobia, was immediately destroyed. The neigh-
bours advised both the sufferers to take the Birling medi-
cine, which Mr. LAPRAICL'S nephew prudently did ; but
the waiter refused to resort to any remedy ; and on Satur-
day last he was attacked with the dreadful malady, which
terminated in his death on Wednesday, in the most excru-
ciating torments. Mr. L.'s nephew, we are happy to say,
is still enjoying the best health ; but the fatal result of the
rabid disease on his follow-sufferer has very naturally
caused him the meet intense anxiety.
