TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Six,—ln The Sun of this evening I find an extratato
from the Caledonian Mercury, mentioning the preat
qualities of a prodigious animal, called the " Pilton Ox."
Now, since the introduction of the celebrated Dominie
Sampson, ti,is word is in prodigious use arnurigst our
northern neighbours; but without elebiring to arrogate to
the southerns any peculiar merit in the bull line, I must
say, in contradiction to the assertion of the Caledonian
Mercury that the Pilton Ox is at rho very heal of the
class—that there is now exhibiting in the neighbourhood
of Oxford•street an ox, bred by an Essex farmer, weighing
600 lbs. mote than the aforesaid Pitton animal ; and yet
to view him, you would not consider him at overchaged
with fat. His nature seems gigantic.
I hope you will p trdon this intrusion upon your co.'
lumns, hut it is only fair play to take the right bull by
the horns.

THE OFFICIAL KALENDAR.—This work,
the production of Mr. Boatz, the Author of the " Dic-
tionary of the Peerage and Baronetage," is arranged upon
precisely.the same plan as that popular hook. The con-
tents are disposed alphabetically, in the form of a die.
tionary, so as to afford immedi4te information. The
names of public •men, exceeding 30,000, are all given
separat?ly and lucidly, not confusedly, as in all the existing
woks of a similw nature—by which arrangement much

time will be spared to men of business. In-addition also
to the contents of books of a like description, the Official
Kalendar comprises minute details of the Sovereign Houses
of Europe, including the minor principalities. It contains
also a brief account of the Parliamentary biroughe,, num-
ber of voters, prevailing influence, &c.

We find the following in the Morning Adver,
tiser of this morning :—" The abdication by Prince
LEOPOLD of the throne of Greece, has ci eated the greatest
excitement in the political hemisphere, and the three great
parties in the state are now calling ' to arms.' The Whigs
—a race supposed to have been almost extinct.--had yes-
terday a meeting at the Marquis of Lawsnowant's, where
all the most distinguished members of the party were prE4
sent, and where resolutions were entered into to oppose the
schemes of the existing administration by every lawful
means. Prince LEOPOLD is understood to be the head of
this party, and its main object to be a solemn cundem•
nation of the foreign policy of his Maixsyr's Ministers,
and in case of a certain event, the investiture of his Royal
Highness cgith the title of Regent. We hare been in-
formed that the Marquis of WELLISLEY was not only in-
vited to attend the above meeting, but that he was actually
present at it, though for what purpose it is beyond our
wisdom to divine. Many of the Members of both
Houses of Parliament are, however, it is said, now
withdrawing that support from the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON which they hid, freely given during the
last Session, in consequence of the general dissatis-
faction exp-rienced at the conduct of our foreign
policy ; and it is by no means unlikely, in the course of
a few months, that there will be a complete change, both
of measures and of men. Those who look after the loaves
and fishes, had therefore better have their wits about them;
for the time is pregnant with strange events, and those
who wait till the waters are moved, without taking ad.
vantage of an occasional perturbation, may haply be dis-
appointed. We give these matters as we have reeeive4
them, but without pledging ourselves to the accuracy or
any particular beyond the congregation of the Whigs at
the house of their acknowledged leader."
MONEY MARKET.—THURSDAY EVENING.
—lt is ascertained that on the settlement of Consols, which
took place on Tuesday, the amount of that stock which
changed hands was about 2,500,0001. It passed princi-
pally into the names of the leading bankers and capitalists
with whom it is therefore considered to be pledged, at
least a large portion of it, in the expectation of selling it
to advantage on a future rise in its value. The stock does
not, however, appear to have been transferred from the,
public generally to any great extent, but from the parties
who traffic in the sale and purchase of it—i. e the job-
bers and speculators of the Stock Exchange. As regards
investments consequently, or the change of stock int)
money, this account affords no decided indication of the
state of feeling in the country, either for or against the
value of Government securities. In the April account the
amount of Consols transferred was above 3,000,0001.
Consols have been nearly stationary the whole of the
morning, and left off at 93i buyers for the July account.
It is thought by some that the rise generally anticipated
yesterday has been checked by the discoveries relative is
the state of parties in the Legislature, which were brougla:
to light by last night's debate. The city people hare bees
accustomed of late to look on the continued possession of
power by the present Administration as a matter of cer-
tainty. The party opposed to Ministers, it may also ba
remarked, never stood very high in,favour of the monied
interest, so that confidence is suddenly , disturbed; as it
were, on two points at once. No.kmportant consequences
are, however, to be anticipated from this feelinTi, as re-
gards the money-market, which is almost secured bons
the vicissitudes to which it has been heretofore trUbject on
similar occasions by the powerful influence of its unem-
ployed capital.— Times.

A boy, named JOHNS, having entered a plan-
tation belonging to the Rev. Mr. MORTHEAD, at Calstock,
for the purpose of ro,,bing the nest of a magpie, on the
11th inst., saw at the mouth of a hole dug in the earth a
bundle, but being fearful of examining the contents he
went for his father, who on pulling it out discovered the
hand of a child, which protruded from the covering. The
man immediately sent for some women, when they found
the bundle contained the body of a new-born infant, but
which had evidently been there some time, ss it was in a
very putrid state; a piece of tape, was tied tightly round
the neck. Au inquest WSJ sumuaened byZoszni HANt-

"Th,e opposition in the House, of:Lords has some
• curious features.... Lord Winchilsea made a speech
last night, intended, we presume,- to be an anti-
miniaterial speech, though we were. not fortunate
enough to detect the dial of it in relation to the
!Bill then tinder consideration, being that for dc-
!legating the power to affix his . Majesty's signature
to public instruments, during the. Royal indispo-
sition. Lord Winchilsea is reported to have said,
thirt he was. very desirous to relieve-his:Majesty
from trouble, hut that he also Wished to examine the
King's physicians, touching the amount and nature
of his malady, and' moreover,. that he dreaded the
purposes to which such a.preeedent might be turned
in the hands of an ambitious Minister, &c. &c.
Now, if Lord Winehilsea had not the reputation of
being a very honestand truth-telling min, we shnuld
r Idly disbelieve altogether that he could attach even
thr; slightest importaneeto his own remarks upon
this measure. HiS Lordship.wishes the-King to he
relieved from inconvenience ; yet he will not credit
the royal word, attested by responiihle Ministers, aS
To the existence of the suffering with which his Ma-
jesty declares- h;mself to be afilieted,unleSs'the House
will permit him, at the same time, to inquire from
the King's physicians what is the specific nature
of the illness under which his Majesty labours. Is
not enough known by the Legislature, when his
Majesty assures them, on the authority of a Royal
Aiessage, countersigned and presented by a respocs
ible Minister, that the use of his hand in signing
State papers gives him great pain and inconve-
nience the Ntible Lord fears danger' to the
State from such a measure, guarded as is the pre-
sent one by an entire host of securities,_ we need
only ask his Lordship " what is to be done ?"
Suppose his Majesty bad lost an arm, or both arms,
by accident- or disease, is the Noble Lord prepared
to soy that a delegated signature would be worse
than a total suspension of 'the public btisiness of the
country, qualified and restrained, as. under the Bill
is question, by the various anti multiplied -precau-
tions which it contains? Assuming, what was not
denied by the Noble Lord, that the intellect, of his
Majesty is as vigorous as ever, it-would seem that
there is no alternative for the nation, between a sig-
nature by command (If the King, to l e executed in
his Majesty's own presence, and a total stoppage of
every act of the Royal authority, however indispen-
sable and pressing. Noble Lords talked, as does
the Bill, of its enduring until the next Session of
Parliament, and of its being repealed in this ! Me-
lancholy, though decorous, phrases! The Bill has
passed the House of Lords, and has also been read
a first and second time in the House of Commons.

" The Bishop of Lincoln has, we learn, been chosen
Tutor of the young Princess Victoria, and is ex-
pected shortly to vacate the Mastership of
College, which he now holds, in order to enter upon
his new duties. Doctor Kaye owes-his elevation to
the Episcopal Bench to the favour of Lord Liver-
pool, having been previously known to that Minister
as cit.! of the Professors of Divinity at Cambridge.
In • early life he was for some time the Private
Seerete4y of the present Marquis of Lansdowne,
when Lord Henry Petty ; a connection leading to
associations favourable to that general liberality of
s2ntiMent which the Bishop is known to entertain.
In the discharge of his Episcopal functions he has
not, however, been free from blame; and his Par-
liamentary conduct has been somewhat compromising.
example, therefore, would not furnish the best
po,sible lessons; hut his amiable manners, the bene-
volence of his disposition, his .sound piety, free from
the least taint of fanaticism, and directed by excellent
good sense ; the moderation of his opinions, both
as a Politician and a Churchman, and the liberal--
learning of which he is the posessor, admirably
qualify him for the office of a preceptor. The
Bench does uot afford at this time, and we doubt

The Birmingham Monster, in the shape of a Pri-
vate Bill, for re-enacting the Test and Corporation
Acts, and Catholic Disabilities, by rendering ineli-
gible, in the year 1830, one-half of the inhabitants
of the town to the office of Governor of the Free
School—a right hitherto alWays enjoyed—received,
last night its first and mortal blon. The obnoxious
clause has been withdrawn by its parents, the Go-
vetnors ; and a more ill-begotten or monstrous pro-
duction never issued from the prolific womb of in-
tolerance. Lord Calthorpe presented a petition
from the aggregate body of Dissenters in Birming-
ham; signed by upwards of six thousand persons in
forty-eight hours, against this felonious attempt to
disfranchise them of the invaluable trust of Public
Education; and stated his satisfaction in being able
to communicate to the House the fele de se of the
Governors. Lord Grey presented a second petition
from the general body of inhabitants, . signed by the
most influential Members of the Established Church,
atni-by the High and Low Bailiffs of the town, ex-
pressing their disgust at the revival of such obsolete
proscriptions; strongly impugning the secret course
of conduct pursued by the Governors, and repre-
senting the expediency of obtaining some addition
to the constitution of a body so palpably deficient
in it's component parts to the execution of their
trust ; also strongly urging the expediency of
an annual publication of the receipts and ex-
penditure of the Charity Funds, and of a com-
pulsory clause to fill up vacancies in the executive
body within six months. Lord Eldon took the op-
portunity of representing that in the rase of a charity
where the Lord Chancellor was visitor, and where
a scheme was approved by him, any . alterations
made in Parliament must-be subsequently submitted
to the approval of the omnipotent jurisdiction of
Equity. With the shrewd object and chicanery of
this position we have nothing to do. Lord Eldon
may be permitted to cling to the remains of his jea-
lousy for his late judicial power : but Mat must in-
deed be a sorry piece of bigotry, for which Lord
Eldon could find no justification. Lord Lyndhurst
significantly replied.to the observation of his prede-
cessor, that the Master's Report of the sweme of
the Governors was pro forma confirmed byshim on
the, consent of Counsel; that his notice was not
directed to the device of exclusion contained in the
scheme; but that if the Committee on the Bill
should repudiate the obnoxious clause, it would
certainly receive his repudiation also. -If Lord
Lyndhurst should have his attention directed to the
Report of the Charity Commissioners on the Bid.
minghatn Free Grammar School, and the conduct
of these immaculate Governors (so jealous over-
much for the interests of the Church) be may .de-
rive some knowledge, e.specially when it shall he
further stated to him that the equity proceedings of
the Governors were instituted in a 'friendly suit
among themselves, studiously kept secret in its pro-
grels and result from every inhabitant not a Mem-
ber of the Divan. Lord Lyndhurst may then be
of opinion, that the real persons interested in the
trust, viz.—the inhabitants—are entitled to a hear-
ing, and to some influence on the merits of the pro-
jects of the Governors, and of the present exigen-
cies of the town in regard to popular education.
The monster should be closely watched in every
move.---Morning Chronicle.
A pamphlet has just been published, of peculiar
importance at the present moment, from the light
which it throws on the question of the boundaries
of Greece. We allude to " The Observations on
an eligible line of frontier for Greece, as an Inde-
pendent State, by Lieutenant-General Sir Richard
Church, late Generalissimo of Greece, with
Prefaee.by the Right Hon. R. Wilmot Horton,
IM-P-"• Mr. W. Horton tells us in the Preface,
that he received these observations.from his brother-
in-law, General Church, on Thursday, the 13th of.
May, and that the unexpected:communication made
on Monday to :the two Houses has left him no al-
ternative but to give publicity to them. He has
published also a letter addressed to him by General

" I remain, my dear Wilinot,
" Your affectionate brother,
" R. CHURCH.'
" P.S. These few lines are written in my way from
Egina to Argos and Napoli di Romania."
Every one who knows anything of the recent pro-
ceedings in Greece is aware that General Church,
,however ardent Iris wishes for the country to which
he rendered such efficient services, is the last man
in the world to be influenced by Count Capo
d' Istria, whose conduct he has all along con-
demned, and of whom, in these observations, he
speaks very unfavourably. If, therefore, Count
Capo d'lstria had his own game to play, General
Church is not one who would choose to forward his
views. Lord Aberdeen and friends have insi-
nuated that the dissatisfaction of the Greeks with
the frontier assigned to them was the result of an
intrigue of the Count. But General Church, in
his observations, states t hat the conduct of the
Count has been chiefly blameable in not exerting
himself with sufficient energy to obtain a better
frontier; and he doe's not hesitate to attribute this
conduct to an article of the Pretccol of the 22d
March, which made it probable that Count Capo
trlstria could not remain much longer President of
Greece, and very improbable that he should become
her constitutional Sovereign. The news respecting
the limits have, according to General Church,
strengthened the President, by causing those who
desired the arrival of Prince Leopold to be looked on
as traitors to their country. " A great fermentation
is already working," he says, " on people's minds,
since the arrival of the news respecting the
; and even the men moat distinguished for pa-
triotism who opposed the despotic measures_of the.
Presilent, and %rho heartily desire the arrival of the
Prince, and the establishment of the new Govern-
ment, which promises to Greece guarantees for her
civil liberties, are looked upon in sonic measure
(through Coe intrigues of those opposed to them)
as acceding to the cession of the Etolian and Acar-
nanian provinces." The arrival of Prince Leopold,
connected as it would have been with the cession
of its best Provinces, • could only have been viewed
by the Greeks as their death-warrant. The inteh
-ligence of the choice of the Prince, observes the
General, " created universal joy throughout Greece
in the breast of every man capable of estimating the.
difference between Greece as a constitutional king-
dom, and Greece as tin insignificant province, go-
verned upon Machiavelian principles. It cannot be
doubted, then, that the arrival of a Prince, who was
to effect such an important change in her destiny,
would be baled with joy by all true friends of their
country; out the latter bad never contemplated the
possibility of the Prince being placed in so painful a
situation on coming to Greece, as that in which the
cession of the provinces between the Aspro-Po-
tamos and the Gulph of Aria will place him. The
joy, therefore, which had previously manifested itself
is deeply mixed with consternation ; and many of
the most distinguished of the Greeks, who have
best served their country in- civil and military.situa-
dons, and who, during the memorable siege of Mis-
solonghi, signed en address of in' nation to
Prince Leopold, offering him the sovereignty of their
country, will find. themselves, most probably before
long, either without a country, or obliged to sub-
mit to the Turkish yoke." Can we wonder, then,
that Prince Leopold should reject a sovereignty,
looked on by the people as the consummation of
their ruin ? To a nobleman like Lord Aberdeen, a
proficient in the Metternich school, it may appear
in a Sovereign unreasonably scrupulous that he
should concerti himself with the feelings of his sub-
jects with regard to him. Indeed, as the fashion
has been of late to force Sovereigns on nations
against their will, perhaps the dissatisfaction of the
Greeks appeared to his Lordship to constitute an
additional inducement to the Prince to become Ruler
of Greece. But why are Greeks so dissatisfied
with the frontier assigned to them ? In the first
place; according to General Church, the people of
Acarnania and Etolia, the provinces to be given up,
are the best of the Greeks. Greece has. drawn
from thence her best soldiers. General Church's
army was almost exclusively composed of them.
`1 hen the line of frontier is full of such errors' as
placing mountains where there are not even hills,
and plains and rivers where there are mountains.—
Then the frontier is one which cannot be defended.
The Turks may overrun Greece within the limits
in question when they choose, and " the person of
her Sovereign will be in danger in a morning's ride
from Missolonglii or Salona," a circumstance not be-
neath the consideration of the Sovereign. "Every
military than acquainted with Greece (says the Ge-
neral) and the events of the late war, knows that the.
principal points from whence the Turks have always
operated against Greece, have been Volo and Zeitouni
against Eastern Greece, and Arta and Caravassara
against .
Western Greece, and that the Greeks could
never hold the Thermopylae when the Turks are
masters of Macrin-Oros, to which Caravassara is the
most important entrance and the citadel. . . .
The peace of Europe, the prevention of hostilities
between Greece and Turkey, and the permanent
establishment of the 'former as an independent
country, seem to be the principal objects which the
Allied Powers have in view in their negotiations
relative to Greece and Turkey. I feel that I have
acquitted myself of a most sacred duty to my own
country,.perhaps to Europe in general, arid particu-
larly to Greece, in drawing up (for the information
of those who have to decide the question) this
report, every word of which is founded on personal
experience acquired in Greece, and in the command
of her armies. I am bound still farther to satisfy
my own .conscience, to declare most solemnly that
Greece cannot defend her political existence and
independence, or maintain order in the country—
that neither, Turks nor Greeks can prevent blood-
shed on their borders,—and that the peace between
the two countries, and perhaps. that of Europe, will
be seriously endangered,

There can be no doubt but that Prince Leopold's
' ultimate refusal to • take upon himself the regal
office in Greece places the British Government not
only in an awkward, but, as Lord Holland justly
describes it, a" most ludicrous" situation. What-
, ever may have been the true reasons which led to
Prince Leopold's nomination to this doubtful dig-
nity, and to his Royal Highness's final rejection of
it, the people of England have good reason to look
upon the Prince's " second thoughts" as " the
best." In most political transactions there is gene-
rally so much of mystery and intrigue involved,
that there is no safe way of looking at them Nit
through their result. On this occasion there is a
wonderful show of readiness to give all possible ex-
planation, and to keep back no one paper which
will throw the smallest light upon the matter. But,
to say nothing of the fact of all this apparent candour
and openness coming at the " eleventh hour," when
it is too late to be of any use but as furnishing
materials for history, it is worth remarking, that
obscurity and uncertainty meet one at the. very
threshhold of the inquiry. To the very natural.
question of " Who first suggested Prince Leopold
to the Sovereignty of Greece ?" no specific an-
swtr is to be found in any of the documents which
we have seen. It is stated, to be sure, that the pro-
posal cime from the other Governments—not from
ours. But proposal and suggestion are very different
things, and it requires no great experience in the
intrigues -and mystery of diplomacy, to know that
it was no uncommon thing for outward appearances
to bear the very contrary stamp to truth. - On this
one point alone various contradictory assertions are
afloat. One, for instance, gives out that the Prince's
nomination to the high office was entirely of his
own seeking;. another, that it was the result of a
deep-laid intrigne„ to put him out of the way here;
a third imputes it to a wish on the part of France
and Russia to thro a' the whole odium of the transac-
tion, both in the eyes of the Porte and of the Greeks
thetnselves upon this country. But these and other
rumours are now scarcely worth unravelling. Judging,
as we have already said, by the resulr, the people of
England have reason to be Ivell pleated, and instead
of troubling themselves with the fabulous part of
the affair, should rest contented that they have the
prospect of being now spared some of the distressing
realities which would have, in all probability, en-
sued from a.different termination of this ill-advised
project.—Morhing Herald.
The 64(1 reading of the Forgery Bill stands for
this evening, though whether it will actually come
on is contingent, as both parties thought it advisable
that the discussion, when it does take place, should
commence at an early period of the night, and other
business, which may, probably, occupy much time,
stands before it. We are informed that Sir Robert
Peel, when he fixed the order for to-day, remarked
tilos-, as his object was to afford Sir James 'Mac-
intosh, and the other opponents- of the Bill, an op-
portunity of debating the subject again, if there
could not be the discussion this evening, he would,
as a matter of course, consent to a further postpone-
ment of the measure. It will be recollected that,
in the Committee, the clause for abolishing capital
punishment was negatived only by a majority of 15,
notwithstanding the influence of the Minister. Upon
that occasion several Members stayed away from ae
debate, who, if they had been present, would, as we
are informed, have supported the proposition of Sir J.
Macintosh. It is to be hoped, whenever the final dis-
cussion does come on, that the published li•ts of the
voters will show that the representatives of the nu-
merous places which have petitioned Parliament
against the sanguinary spirit of the law, shall have
not only discharged their individual duty, but have
acceded to the wishes of their constituents co this

important question—not a question affecting a small
class, nor affecting property and liberty only, but
life itself! We have repeatedly expressed our opi-
Rion on this subject, and given our reasons for that
opinion. We have dwelt upon it, because we have
observed that, in spite of reason, and argument, and
fact, all combining to show the present law to be
as inefficient as it is cruel—the same stale and often-
refuted sophisms continue to be urged in defence of
a principle of legislation which is a disgrace to an
enlightened nation and a civilized age. We trust
that the advocates,' not of a cruel and vindictive,
but of a just, rational, and effective system of
punishment, will meet with that support in their
laudable exortions which shall redeem the :'British
people and the British Parliament from the reproach
of being satisfied with the barbarous pre-eminence
of possessing what Sir Robert Peel has, in his place
in the House of Commons, declared to be " the
most sanguinary code of any cc,6ntry in Europe !"

DESCRIPTION OF ALGIERS, AND ANEC-

DOTES OF THE DEY.

(From the Intelligence.)
The view of Algiers from the sea' is one of those
beautiful scenes -to which the pen can scarcely hope
to do justice. At a distance the town appears
like a chalk mound-in the midst of an amphitheatre
of green mountains; a little nearer, its square towers,
mosques, and minarets become distinguishable, ris-
ing above each other like a fight of steps from the
water's edge to the summit of the mountain.
Right and left -spread undulating heights, whose
luxuriant verdure, interspe-sed with gay kiosks,
forms an agreeable contrast to the tiring glare of the
white houses. In the back ground are still loftier
hills, whose sterile tops give another variety to the
picture.

But whatever attraction the city may offer at a
distance, the illusion entirely vanishes on setting
foot on shore; The streets are narrow and filthy,
and there are no buildings of importance,
barracks of the Janissaries (about 6000 in number,
the the only regular troops belongingsave the
Dey), the
mosques, and the Dey's palace. The Mole, which
forms the harbour, runs above 1,400 paces rnto the
sea, and is built on a ledge of rocks, within which
the navy is all secured in case of attack. The labour
of European engineers since the siege by Lord Ex-
mouth, has rendered this part of -the fortifications
unassailable, and leaves little hope of auk other com-
mander's being able to lay his vessel in the position
taken up by the QUCC7I C'harlotte.
From the Alcapaba, or citadel, at the apex of the
mountain, the Dey may command all the operations
of defence. Within this castle he can also retire, in.
case of a siege, in order to protract his means to
the last, as well as to shelter himself from the

violence of the vacillating Janissaries, who ..would
In as ready. to. their swords against the Dry.
himself, as against the enemy, in case of any proba-
bility of defeat.
From the sea, Algiers may bo.considered impreg-
nable; and able to defy the menaces of any maritime
expedition whatever. England, the only nation
which corn boast of ever having intimidated this Re-
gency, is fully aware of this' truth, and of 'the difffit,
citifies, even with her means, of ever again making
an impression by.. bombardment on a fortification
which mounts 1,200 pieces of cannon, and where
the attacking party must be exposed tti such dis-
proportionate risks. A land force to reduce this
place is more likely to be. attended with success, if
undertaken on a sufficient scale in the spring of the
year, and pushed on with vigour. The old Moorish
walls, east and west of the city, are nearly inde-
fensible, and present but little difficulty to a de-
termined army, well supplied with a train of artillery.
The landing, which should be .made in the imme-
diate neighbourhood of Algiers, would doubtless
meet with some opposition, and would have to con-
tend, With hosts.of Arab foes, of which the Dey can
easily raise 200,000 amongst the Bedouins and
Koheylls, every subject of this • Regency being
obliged to bear arms ; but their troops are mostly
mountaineers, and would' yield to the superior ma-
noeuvres and tactics of an European force. The
first 'shock successfully sustained, the farther pro-
gress of an invading army becomes almost certain.
The allegiance of the Dry of Algiers to the Otte-
min Porte has been at all times too equivocal to
suppose that Turkey could have any influence over
the conduct or policy of the Dey. It is thrown aside
at pleasure, although formally kept up by the payment
of u triennial tribute, for which each new Pacha rt
ceiveS the cattail, or pelisse of honour, and . some
presents in return. A circumstance which occurred,
not many years ago, may serve to show the small
influence of Turkey over the Regency. Applica-
tion was made by the English Government to the
Sultan of Turkey, to put a stop to some unprovoked
annoyances against the Italian States by a late Dry
of Algiers. A new Pacha of three tails was in con-
sequence appointed to supersede the reigning one,
and despatched with a firman to take possession of
the Regency. On arrival, however, of the new
candidate for power at the island of Candia, he re-
ceived a message from the reigning Pacha to halt,
as in case he attempted to set foot in Algiers, his
!load would pay the forfeit of his temerity.. The
same fate awaited the new Pacha if he attempted
to return to Constantinople without fulfilling the
Sultan's orders. In this dilemma he threw himself
on the protection of the British Consul at Ctudia,
who having represented the hardship of his situa-
tion to the Great Sultan, the Turk was at • last
allowed by the Consul's mediation to return to this
country. _ _

The Turks, However, (of which the Janissaries
are mostly composed) assume an insolence and de-
meanour at Algiers, which the distant homage can
scarcely be supposed to tolerate. • " I am a Turk,"
is an answer which often screens the . respondent
from a punishment which would be sure to fall on
a Moor. The authority of the Dey himself is
curbed, and his conduct regulated by a handful of
Janissaries, the refuse of the streeti of Constanti-
nople and Surgena ;_ to them he is, in turn, a slave.
The Dey 's often compelled to acts which may be
ascribed to their influence alone, and compelled to
make war, or sue for peace, according to their de-
termination. It is. the trade of a Dey of Algiers to
be at ‘var; if he fail to declare hostilities when alair
opening, is presented, it is considered a robbery of
their perquisite=, arid a contravention of the treaty
by which he is supposed to govern; 'if perchance he
comes out of a war unsuccessfully, a certain death
awaits him; of this course of things the present
Der of Algiers, Hassan Paella, seems perfectly
aware; I have often heard him express his senti-
ments on the subject of death—he is a most decided
fatalist, and contemplates the end of life most phi-
losophically. Should he die a natural death, a thing
of rare occurrence in the annals of their history, his
favourite; the minister of marine, will succeed to the
throne. _

The custom of paying tribute to the Algerines is
certainly disgusting, and requires the intervention of
extraordinary powers to be generally abolished. In
)825, the English frigate, the Lovely, Captain
Elliott, was despatched from the Tagus with the
arrear of tribute money due from Portugal to Algiers.
At this interview, at which I was present, his High-
ness the Pacha insisted on " his bond," and pro-
tested against the pleaded mitigation of damages,
notwithstanding the impoverished state Of the Po:-
tuguese treasury, the loss of the Brazis, and the
great length of time that country had been the arena
of a contending enemy. " For the love of one
person" present, his highness relaxed a wall part
of his demand, with the condition that the Portu-
guese should forthwith establish a Consul in that.
city, which is considered a hostage for the regular
payment of tribute.
His Highness Hassan Pacha, previous to the de-
parture of the embassy, presented the usual compli-
ment of lions, ostriches, Bze. The ostriches arrived'
at the house in which the embassy resided totally
naked, having suddenly moulted all their fine
feathers; certain traces-- of blood left little doubt
that this operation of nature had been facilitated by
the good-natured Moors who conveyed them. Don
Juan the Vl.th's Menagerie was thus deprived of
their feathered or rather featherless beasts, and the !
Infaina of-Portugal of some fine plumes, for in con-
sequence of this robbery, part of the ostriches -died
on their passage, the surviving ones were landed at
Gibraltar, th, it dubious state of health' rendering it
nt cessary to send them on shore; here•they were
met by some experimental philosopher, who recol-
lecting the old saying, that " ostriches could digest
any thing," gave them a dinner of oakum, of which
they died. On post mortem examination' it was
found oakum did not agree with their stomachs,
which may perhaps pardon this episode, and save
the necessity of any other such experiment on these
animals.

To shew the species of subjection to which the
Algerines would reduce the whole world, I shall
mention one anecdote, which occurred during my
stay here, and which may be considered a. fair
sample of their policy. The Captain of the port
arrived.,ene morning in great haste at the house of
-the Miebelacei, or Minister of Marine, to report the
appearance of a tri-coloured flag in the roadstead.
The Mini,ter in astonishment looked over his list of
flags, but in vain could he find anything of the sort
reported, and began to suspect another revolution
had broken out in France; the arrival of the Spanish
Consul, however, in a great rage, soon cleared up
the mystery; it was a Columbian privateer with a
Spanish prize, making for the Mole. "- Oh, oh !"
exclaimed the Michelacci, " I see how it is; it is
one of those bastard Powers who have no Consuls
in any part of the world, I must teach them proper
respect for our nation." The Captain of the priva-
teer soon landed and claimed permission to sell his_
prize ? The Spanish ( onsul, reckoning on the
favourable disposition of the Algerine Minister, made
sure the Columbian was about to fall into his
power, and urged the detention of the vessel as a
forfeiture to the Spanish Monarch ; the wily Moor,.
who, upon reflection, saw no advantage to be gained
by such a step, began to weigh the probabilities of
getting a new customer with the threatened dis-
pleasure. of the Consul, and deciding against the
latter, suddenly changed his tone. He now treated
the privateer Captain with great politeness, giving
him, however, to understand, "that according to the
law of nations he deserved to be condemned as a
pirate, but that the Dey being a liberal and en-
lightened Prince, would disregard the origin of their
Government, provided the Colombians would
establish a Consul at Algiers, and. pay tribute like
all legitimate monarchs." The Columbian Was
finally dismissed. to return to his country with tile
Michelacci's propositiOn, till the. which was complied
with, he was informed the Columbians riot
sell their prizes in the
.ports of Barbary, nor even
rely on the general usage of getting a supply of pro-
visions and water.

RUSSIA.
The Pleniputentiaries of the three Courts having assem-
bled at the Foreign-office, ." •
The British Plenipotentiary opened the conference by
communicating to his colleagues a joint despatch. from the
representatives of Vie three Courts at Constantinopl., by
which they transmit the note presented by them to the
Sublime Porte on the Bth of April, 1830, notifying.to •it
the resolutions of the Alliance relative to the pacification
and the definitive settlement of Greece, as well as the de-
claration whereby the Ottoman Government announces its
complete and unreserved adhesion to the said resolutions.
The British Plenipotentiary then laid before the con-
ference a despatch, which he bad received from his Bri-
tannic Majesty's Resident in Greece, enclosing the joint
note which the Residents of the three Courts had ad-
dressed to the Provisional Government' of Greece for the
same object, as well as the answer of the President and its
enclosure. This answer contains a like full and entire ad-
hesion on the part of the. Provisional Government to the
decision of the Allies.

The Plenipotentiaries having taken these various docu-
ments into their consideration, agreed that they should be
annexed to the present Protocol, litt. A. B. C. D. E. F. G.

contents of the official note which its nobte friends the
representatives of the three Powers reiding at Constan-
tinople have transmitted to it, and in which the last res -
lutionS of the conference of London arc made known.

Agreeably to the said contents, in accordance with the
boundary line traced on the map annexed to the same note,
an answer from the Sublime Porte conformable to what
the three Powers have determined upon, is that which
they look for as the means of putting an end to the exist-
ing troubles, and of giving, the necessary seeuriti'•s; and
the adhesion' of the Sublime Porte in this respect would
put an end to all discussion.
With this object the Sublime Porte gives its adhesion;
it accepts what has been decide I upon, as calculated to
procure the security and tranquillity of the country, and
to ensure the welfare and the peace of mankind.
And it is to notify this resolution to their Excellencies
our above-named friends, in' order that they may commu-
L;oate it to their respective courts, that the present official
to has been drawn up and transmitted; to them.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.

On Sunday morning last a pleasure heat belonging to a
white smith named John Simpson, of Lancaster, left that
place with about 20 passengers on board, for Sunderland,
where they arrived safe. In the latter. part of the day, a
vissel called the Louisa packet, from T. initial, anchored
off the•coast, and t'ae crew of the pleasure boat, expecting
to hear from or see some of their friends, determined to go
on board the packet. The sea at that time was in a
.very
violent state, and the boat's company were strongly recom-
mended by the pilots not to venture out. They, however,
set sail with fifteen personson board, and they had not pro-
ceeded far when they got on a sand hank, and it was not
without some difficulty that she was pushed off. They then
went at a most rapid rate before the wind a considerable dis-
tance, and.suoldenly came in contact with a buoy, against
which the boat was driven with so violence, that the
keel started front the garbord streak... The peak and
mainsail were. then lowered, and the boat was turned
round, and set in for Sunderland Banks. She coniinued
beating against wind and tide snout twenty minutes, and
then fell over, keel uppermost. Several boats immediately
put off from shore to render -assistance, but the whole .of
the fifteen persons had perished before they arrived. Two
of the dead bodies. were found p trtly buried in the sand,
and it is supposed that the others have been washed out to
sea. The following is a correct list of the. sufferers :
John Simian], 19, an apprentice; Robert Caton, lett a
widow and three small children; Edward Duct lon, a
young unmarried min '; Robert Tomlinson, unmarried ;
Taylor, unmarried ; John Hartley ; William Braith-
waite and -John Bosch, two boys, 12 years of age, who
had run away from school Thomas Wilkinson, un-
married ; Thomas Hewardson and William Hethersail,
two boys, aged 12 ; William Downey; aged 17 ;
Dobson, aged 20 ; and Thomas Park and John Sd-
keld, unmarried.

THE COOK'S DICTIONARY.---Among the
numerous useful publications promise(' during the pies nt
season, one is to appear immediately, under the ab v
inviting appellation. It professes, we are told, to furnish
a complete culinary code, di. ested into the convenient and
most available form of an alphabetical work—a f r►n never
hitherto adopted in any hook on this universally-interest-
ing subject. Many very piquant gastronomic nouveaute's
are sail to be included in this caution, as well as the
whole art and mystery of confectionary. The editor is
Mr. RICHARD DOLBY, of the Thatched-house Tavern.
who has been assisted in his undertaking by a large nunatter
of professional friends.
SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Mon-
day a gentleman, in walking along the road from the bot-
tom of Pitt-street to Canomnills observed the fingers of a
human band above the water, in the mill-lea near the
loch. On getting hold of the hand it proited to be attached to
an arm, supposed to be that of a female, apparently sepa-
rated from the body at the shoulder. It appeared to
have been in the water for some time; and is conjec-
ture! to have been thrown t':ere by slue dissecti.r.—
A number of persons immediately . commenced fishing in
the loch, expecting .to drag out the bogy, but so far us we
could learn no other portion of a WIT was found. It is
said, however, that some female wearing apparel tied up
was found, and a silk bag, in which was two shillings. It
is probable the water of the loch will be taken off, co as
to enable a more minute search to be made. Various 'ru-
mours are in circulation of a holy having been found,
which on inquiry we have ascertained to be without any
fuundation.—Edinburgh Evening Courant.
