Lord
Glenlyon has left Fenton's Hotel on a tour.
The vast estates of his brother, the present Duke of Athol,
wholt is said has been for a long period labouring 'under mental
aberration, have been placed in the hands of trustees.
THE PERSIAN PRINCES.—Their names are Reza
Koolee Meerza, Nejeff Koolee Meerza, and Timoor Meerza.
They are grandsons of the late Futeh Allee Shah, and chil-
dren of Hoossein Allee Meerza, late Prince-Governor of the
province of Fars, who was the fourth or fifth son of, that
monarch. Thus they are first cousins of Mahomed Shah,
who at present occupies the throne, and who is the son of
Abbas Meerza, late Prince-Royal of Persia. On the death
of Futeh Allee Shah, their father, Hoossein Allee Meerza,
conceiving• his own title to the throne to be as good as that of
his nephew, made an attempt to secure it for himself but
being beaten, and driven back to Shiraz, he was made pri-
soner there with several of his family, while the three Princes
now in question, together with three more of their brothers,
cut their way from the gates of that city, escaping to the
mountains, and after a variety of hardships reached the sane.
tuary of Meshed Alice, or Nejeff, near Bagdad. From
thence they have come to implore the assistance and friendly
intervention of the English Government with their cousin,_
the Shah, in procuring for them pardon, and a restitution of
part of their private property. In the meantime they arc the
guests of the English Government, and are attended on the
part of Government by Mr. J. Baillie Fraser, who has himself
but lately returned from Persia, and who generally accom-
panies them in society. They rather avoid publicity, and
being made " lions" of, and prefer the inspection of public
institutions, military reviews, or arsenals, to balls, concerts, or
operas. Wednesday they visited the Bethlehem Hospital,
St. George's-fields, and are to look at some of the principal
prisons of the metropolis. Their stay in England will pro-
bably be but short.
The Earl of Meath, Lady George Stewart and
Family, Capt. and Mrs. Townsend, Col. Mercer, Mr. St.
John Mildmay, Sir A. Clifford, Lady Dunstanville, &c., were
among the fashionables who left town on Sunday for Antwerp
in the General Steam Navigation Company's much admired
steam-packet, the Soho.
Judging from the present state of the streets, we
should be led to suppose that scavengers, aking advahtage
of the late fine weather, had, in common with their betters,
left town for the season.
A country magistrate, appointed by Our Reforming
Ministry, being asked what was meant by a minor canon, an-
swered, " I suppose it means—a pistol or a gun."
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE itivEn.--Yester-
day afternoon, about four o'clock, as some young men were
bathing in the river opposite Goding's new brewery, Lambeth,
a short distance from Waterloo-bridge, one of them of the
name of Murphy, got into one of the numerous holes with
which this part abounds in consequence of the working of the
ballast engines, and not being able to swim, was drowned be-
fore any assistance could be procured. Drags were immeli-
ately brought, but the body was not found after some hours'
unavailing search. The deceased was about nineteen years of
age, and was in company with a brother at the time the acci-
dent happened. At low water, from the above circumstance,
there is always considerable danger to inexperienced bathers,
and, from the numerous losses of life which occur, some cau-
tions should be affixed to warn persons of the danger.
CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 30.—We are in the
same state of uncertainty as for six weeks past. The Reis
Effendi is dismissed, and Lord Ponsonby has received satis-
faction as far as the Porte allows. But his Lordship seems
to wait for his instructions from London, and then either to
leave Constantinople, or to resume direct friendly intercourse
with the Turkish Ministry. This is strange, and would almost
tempt us to believe that Lord Ponsonby would rather have re-
ceived no satisfaction, and that he wished for a breach with
the Porte on any terms, since, if these were such frierally feel-
ing in London towards the Porte as is alleged, is diplomatic
agent certainly cannot be reproached for yielding as soon as ha
knows the honour of the English nation is satisfied, and, as in
this case, with manifest regret for the fault committed. But
Lord Ponsonby seems not to understand this, and though he no
longer speaks with disapprobation of the Sultan, he considers the
Hatti Scheriffdismissing the Reis Effendi as not concerning him.
It may be easily conceived that under such circumstances the
Porte feels it necessary to be on its guard, and while the inten-
tions of the English Ambassador and his Government are doubt-
ful, to be prepared against any unlooked-for event Four regi-
ments of infantry are gone to the Castle of the Dardanelles,
and two companies of artillery will be embarked to-day. Tisus
preparations are making against an attack on the part of 'Eng-
land. A courier too has been sent to St. Petersburgh, to
learn whether the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh should be in-
clined to assist the Porte, and whether, in case the accounts
from London should be such as to require fr-ern the Porte more
than it has already done, and therefore sin amicable arrange-
ment should be doubtful, Russia would consider the moment
come when the casus Adores was realised. It must be ob-
served that before the dismissal of the Reis Effendi a similar
question vim put to General Butinieff, who said that none
would he permitted to disturb the peace of Europe, without
stiftloient reason, and that the Porte having to repair a wrong,
would do well to repair it at once. But as satisfaction has now
been given to Lord Ponsonby, the question is, whe-
ther the Porte may not depend on the support of Russia,
and whether the other Continental Powers will not take
its part, if more should be required in London, than it
thinks that it can concede, with honour. The answer
from St. Petersburg will, therefore, be of great im-
portance, and the couriers from that city and London are
eagerly expected. The last great meeting of the Divan on
the 22d, after which Haiii Pacha was sent to Varna, was
chiefly for the purpose of considering, first, whether the Porte,
without compromising its dignity, might put an end to Lord
PonsoutlY ,s displeasure, and renew its friendly relations with
the English Government ; 2dly, if this should be impossible,
to adopt the best means to repel hostilities if they should take
place and, thirdly, to take some steps that the Porte might
not be obliged to contend alone against the supreme power of
England. How these questions were decided I cannot say but from the sending of Halil Pacha to Varna, and of cour-
riers to St. Petersburg, it might be inferred that Lord Pon-
sonby will not obtain by amicable means more than he Wasself
required, namely, the dismissal of the Reis Effendi, It is,
therefore, supposed that he will be satisfied, and not expose
himself to the censures of all Europe, who desire peace, and
would hardly pardon the English Government if, notwithstand-
ing the repentant and almost honourable conduct of the Porte,
it should seek to bring about a breach with it,
