Corfu Shpt. 14, Malta Slat. 17, Gibraltar Sept. 28, Lisbon
Oct. 2, Vigo Oct. 3 ; and ship letters Iron, Lima.
We have received the Gibraltar Chronicles to the 28th of
Septemb, r; they have been anticipated by the French papers.
Exchange on London :—Privato Bills at 90 days' date, 50i
to 50t.
We have Malta Papers to the 20th September. From the
above papers .
" On Monday last Reschid Pasha, having completed his
period of quarantine in our lazaretto, was admitted to Fatigue,
and landed in the Valletta, under a salute from the batteries.
His Excellency was received with a guard of honour. Ac-
cording to the last advices from Broussa the plague continu,s
to make the most frightful ravages in that city and its neigh-
b-mrhood : no further mention is • made of the plague in
Smyrna.
We have numerous arrivals of Papers this morning from the
eastward by the Mediterranean steamer Iberia ; tose from
Malta are not quite so late as the arrivals in the Paris Papers
of the 221 Sept. The information received from Marseilles
states that the Pasha of Egypt has consented to pay the tri-
bute to the Porte. The intelligence from Persia states that
the Schah is determined to make another assault on Herat, but
great doubts are entertained of his success.
By the accounts from Lisbon it appeus that all was quiet
there, and the elections were not finally terminat.d.
The arrival of a detachment of British troops in the Per-
sian Gulph, was known in Persia, and it had created a great
sensation in the country. Trade, although not in the most
flourishing condition, was not so insignificant as might have
ben feared, from the last advices, and particularly from the
state of plitical afftirs, which excite general apprehension.
Accounts from Alexandria, of the 16th Septemtwr, state
tint the Nile had considerably augmented during tl e week ; a
wind from the north with some vi4lence, which lasted for
three days, had contributed to this event. It rose so rapidly,
that fear was entertained that it would reach 2.) degrees, which
was the sign of desolation and destruction; to-day it is 20i,
which insures a good year.
According to the German Papers, it appears that Rus-
sia is making vast preparations for war, marching to the
Turkish frontiers not less than 120.000 men ; but her direct
object is not as yet ascertained. Switzerland is also on the
qui vice, and taking precautionary measures against an inva-
sion of her territory by the French troops.

STRANGE, IF TRUE.—As some individuals were
out hunting vermin the other day they discovered the nest of
a foul-mart, which contained several young. Near the nest
were a number of live frogs, each with one of its legs broken,
for the purpose, as it appears, of preventir,g it from escaping.
a method that these sagacious animals adopt to preserve food
always fresh for their young.—Carlisle Patriot.
A NEW AIICROSCOPE!—Some seiners at New-
quay, a few days since, having taken a pane, pulled out its
eye, and, on looking through it at a proper focus, found that
it magnified in a very high degree, insomuch that a flea looked
as large as a small pig I This is deserving of the attention of
the curious in optics. —Devonport Telegraph.
