FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDlTOR—Having observed in your Paper
of Friday last (under the head " Singular Occur-
rence") a circumstance of a gentleman having
.vomitted a worm from the stomach, 1 beg leave
to'hand you an account of a similar occurrence
which affected a friend of mine. He is a young
man of general serious habits, but about six
weeks since was induced to indulge too freely in
the juice of the Grape, when be was suddenly
seized with vertega and nausea that caused a
violent retching and vomiting which brought
up a worm of the length of six inches ; it died
in about ten minutes after expulsion. It is
somewhat curious that it bears no similarity to
those worms which generally come from the sto-
mach, but is more like the chrysalis of a cater-
pillar upon an enlarged scale. It is now in the
collection of a scientific gentleman of this city.
I have been induced to forward to you these
particulars, as they may be productive of useful
medical inquiry.—l am, Sir, your's, &c.

Norwich, March: 31.

WILLIAM BROWN.

MRS. DONATTY'S MURDER.-Although some
days have elapsed, and nothing has been publicly done relative
to the above atrocious transaction, yet Mr. TAYLOR, the
Vestry Clerk, has been unremitting in his exertions to cor.
respond with the different Magistrates all over the country,
from whom he has received various communications. He has
been informed that a very strong suspicion is thrown, on a no-
torious character now in confinement in Bedford gaol for a
burglary. William Head, sen. the officer of Hatton-garden„
yesterday had a long interview with Mr. Taylor, and vari-
ous plans were suggested, which will be laid before the Magi-
strates this day.

The intelligence respecting the question of
peace or war between Turkey and Russia,
brought by the French Papers of Monday, is
decidedly warlike. The Monileur states, that
letters received at Paris from Constantinople,
dated the 28th of February, announce that a
grand Council was held by the Ottoman Go-
vernment on the 25th, at which the commanding
officers of the Janissaries, and the heads of the
corporations of the town, were present. The
subject of their deliberations is not stated by the
French Journalist, but private letters received
in this country from Constantinople, dated the
25th, mention that at this Council it was de-
termined to accept the Ultimatum, not without
considerable opposition and great difficulty. The
news of the acceptance was made public the
next day, when, continues the Illoniteur, some
disturbances occurred in the Turkish capital,
which could only be appeased by the most severe
measures. It would appear, however, that the
most efficacious made resorted to by the Govern-
ment of restoring order was to rescind their re-
solution of the previous day, accepting the Ulti-
matum ; and we are assured by the French
Official Journal, that after these commotions
had been appeased, the REIS EFFENDI trans-
mitted to the Ambassadors of the Allied Courts
a note, which is not so satisfactory as was
expected, and which does not justify the
hopes given by the preceding communication.
We have private letters from Constantinople as
late as the 3d of March, which say, that the nego-
ciations between the Ottonian Porte and the Fo-
reign Ambasadors are still going on, but it is
feared more than ever that the SULTAN will adopt
a warlike course, and commence hostilities. The
recent successes of the Turks in Epirus, the pos-
session of the treasures of ALI PADUA, and
the flattering hopes they entertain from the
expedition just dispatched to the Morea, have
so inflamed the courage of the Musselmans, that
we think it scarcely probable they will be re-
strained from beginning the war. Indeed, vari-
ous reports are given of the Janissaries at Jassy

being in open mutiny, and insisting on march-
ing against the Russians ; and so little able
is the Government to control the tumultuous
spirit of its soldiery, that it is asserted a strong
column of Janissaries has been sent forward
to the Danube by the Commander-in-Chief
of the Army. The probability !of hostilities
receives great weight from the Army Promo-
tions in the Court Gazelle of Vienna, which
are usually made on the eve of a war, and
from the fall of the Austrian paper, and the French
Five per Cents ; the latter having on Monday
suffered a depreciation of from 12 to 2 per cent.,
and the former having declined 3 per cent. Ad-
ditional confirmation is derived from the fact of
the Aulic Council of War at Vienna having just
contracted in Moravia for large supplies of cloth
and leather for the Austrian army ; as also from
the assurance that the Ottoman commanders in
Moldavia and Walachia have received orders
from Constantinople to hold their troops in readi-
ness to defend the two principalities to the last
extremity.

Private letters are in town from Genoa, stating,
that an Ambassador had arrived from Lisbon to
the King of SARDINIA, who refused him an
audience, and would not accept the new Consti-
tution ; in consequence of which the Portuguese
Ambassador departed immediately. liostilitie
are expected to take place between the two Go-
vernments. The above circumstance may account
for the reinforcement of the Austrian army, as
well as the French sending a large force on
their frontiers.

[Extract of a Letter from Valparaiso, Nov. B.]

" The Sacramento has arrived, and it appears
that Lord COCHRANE has gone for Callao; but

it is stated by the well-informed he has sailed
for Acapulco, and his object is to look after the
ship Emperor Alexander, in which, I believe, he
is interested. The army at Guayaquil has suf-
fered considerably, and Gen. SUCRE, after having

routed the Spaniards, has been completely de-
feated, and it is expected the Spaniards will be
masters again of Guayaquil."

TIIE AGRICULTURAL REPORT.-We rejoice to
find that our respectable brother Journalist The
Courier, in treating of the Agricultural Report,
observes, " With our views of this vital question,
we confess we could have wished the Report
had spoken out boldly on the subject of reduc-
tions in the Army, Navy," &c. The last Report
added considerably to existing evils, by point-
ing public attention to a remedy, serving only to
increase the evil. Although the present Report
says nothing to continue the delusion, it too cau-
tiously avoids an opinion tending to oppose it. At.
the present day, with the voice of Parliament and
the Public so powerful, we cannot think any prat.-

tical inconvenience would have resulted from a
candid avowal that reductions in the army, navy,
&c. must lower the wages of labour, deteriorate
the condition of the great class of consumers, and
by consequence injure, or in other words an-
nihilate, the profits of all those who had pre-
viously cultivated the soil to supply them with ne-
cessaries. The Morning Chronicle also says, that,

had the labours of the Committee been directed
among other things "to the wages of the labour.,
ing classes," they « would probably have found
out that the Agricultural Interest is suffering,
not from superabundance of production (of
which, to do the Committee justice, they expresi
their doubts), but by a diminished consumption,
arising chiefly from the low rate of wages paid to
the productive classes," &c.—These two publica-
tions, therefore, which differ upon almost every
thing else, are agreed on this most important
point. Since the publication of the Agricultural
Report in June last year, we have repeatedly
advanced the same doctrine ; and we see that i t
has also been strenuously insisted on in the
British Monitor. The restrained consumption of
the labouring classes, now that our powers of pro-
duction are almost unlimited, is in fact the rea I
source of the difficulties of all classes ; and until
this great truth be distinctly recognized, it is vain to
look for any efficacious measure of relief either for
the agriculturists or any other class of the peo-
ple. It is at all events quite obvious that the
consumption of agricultural produce can never he
increased by raising the price, unless the
prices of labour and of other commodities
be raised in proportion ; and it is equally ob-
vious that the prices of labour cannot be
elevated by throwing additional numbers of la-
bourers upon the already,over-burthened market,
either by reducing taxes, or curtailing•the sums
paid to the poor from the poor's rates. The
great problem is, How are the now opposite and
opposing interests of the agriculturists and manu-
facturers, (including the populations' of towns),
with their respective classes of labourers, to
be reconciled and amalgamated ? If this
can be effected (and we see nothing to pre-
vent it), distress must immediately disappear,
and for ever. They can produce, it is acknow-
ledged on all hands, much more than the country
can consume. The industry of the unemployed
or partially employed labourers, and of the pau-
pers, would be brought beneficially into action,
together with increased scientific ancl_mechanical
power, adding immensely to the groSs amount of
annual wealth produced by the country—greatly
enlarging rents, profits upon capital, and the na-
tional revenue ; and leaving such a surplus of
clear national gain as would enable us to carry
our foreign and colonial commerce to an extent
unprecedented in the annals of the empire.

THE PITT CLUB.—We always feel great plea-
sure in availing ourselves of any opportunity to
testify our respect for the memory of WILLIAM
PITT; and every true friend to this country and
mankind, we'are sure, will share with us in the
gratification of hearing that the Members of the
PITT CLUBS are daily increasing.—We need not
refer to the late ridiculous prophecy of Fac-
tion, that " there will be no more PITT DIN-
NERS." The second Monthly Dinner for this
season is to be held on the 15th inst., and we
find that there are eleven Candidates for election
as Members on that clay, recommended by some
of the most respectable Characters in the coun-
try. The Provincial PITT CLUBS are not less
zealous to do honour to his memory, and nu-
merous Candidates are solicitous to be enrolled
among their Patriotic Bands. Such is the declin-
ing state of the PITT CLUBS. To the malignant
and ignorant enemies of this disinterested, wise,
illustrious, and unrivalled Minister, the words of
our great poetical Moralist may be aptly ap-
plied : . _

" When Statesmen, Heroes, Kings, in dust repose,
" Their sons shall blush their fathers were his foes."

.to be become vacant by the appointment of Mr.
IiNOWLYS to the office of RECORDER. One of
the members admitted the Learned Gentleman to
be a sound Lawyer, but " deprecated all idea
of making the question. one of PARTY FEELING."
Another observed, "that from the nature of his pro-
fessionalpractice, he (Mr.D.) could not be suppos-
ed to be well versed in questions so exclusively
confined to the City of London." Mr. DENMAN,
in a letter from Warwick, addressed to Mr.
OLDHAM, declared his readiness to accept
the appointment. Now, though we admit the
legal qualifications, and intellectual powers of
Mr. DEN`MAN, can it be said that he is not a
Party man and if so, is it proper that
the great Metropolis of the British Empire, the
Emporium of the Would, should; in any man-
ner, lend itself to the support of Party ?
Every member. of the Common Council, which
may be considered as the representation of that
great City, as the House of Commons is the
representation of the country at large, should
feet the dignity of the Body to which he belongs,
and not give his support to any candidate who
may be distinguished for his attachment to party,
Whatever may otherwise be his abilities or his
knowledge. No—the dignity, the honour, the
parity, of the City, are deeply involved in the
ensuing election. We find by the public Jour-
nals, that Mr. CURWOOD has offered himself as a
candidate for the Vacant office. This gentleman
has deservedly risen to a high rank in his pro-
fession as a Barrister. He is possessed of
Classical attainments, as well as of legal know-
lege and experience ; he comes forward
Without the least tinge of PARTY, and his
" talents and political integrity" amply qualify
him for the situation. And here we may pay a
just tribute to the memory of Mr. FLADGATE, a
gentleman of extraordinary talents and con-
spicuous rectitude, who was a zealous pro-
moter and supporter of Mr. CURWOOD'S pro-
fessional pursuits, and of so pure a character
himself that he consulted only the interests of
his clients, and the justness of their claims.—i
Mr. CURWOOD, therefore, comes forward with
high pretensions, and as no other candidate of
superior merits has advanced, we hope that the
Common Council will feel the importance of its
station in the eyes of the country, and that we
may safely " prophecy the election lights on"
Mr. CuRWOOD, a man untainted by party, justly
respected in his profession, and highly esteemed
for his private character.

IRELANn.—By the intelligence from the Coun-
ties of Cork and Limerick, it is painfully evident
that the ferocious and tumultuary spirit of the
Peasantry remains unsubdued. Outrages of an
atrocious character continue to be committed
and numerous attempts have lately been made to
Obtain possession of fire arms. The system of
flogging, burning houses, maiming or destroying
cattle and sheep, and compelling individuals
to quit their farms, continues. We do not
think it necessary to recapitulate the particu-
lars of these disgraceful affairs. There is a
,similarity in the circumstances attending them,
Which renders the recital as uninteresting and
tedious as the reflections to which they give
115 e are melancholy, and as the anticipa-
tioos which spring frot them are alarming.-
-At the Special Sessions, in Cork, on Thursday
last, forty magistrates of the county were present.
Five persons were tried under the Insurrection
Act, and acquitted. On the following day, four
Were tried, and also acquitted. At the Special
Sessions at Rathkeale, on the 28th ult. eleven
Were tried and acquitted ; and on the 29th one
was acquitted and two found guilty.—These
kirnerous, acquittals prove that the extra-
qdinary powers conferred by the Insurrec-
teetioa Act are exercised by the Magistrates
With the greatest caution, forbearance,' and hu-
By. far the greater number of the pri-
soners are proved to have offended against the.
Itittter of the Act, by being found out of their
wellings, or otherwise disorderlyunless
there are also strong circumstantial presumptions,
'3l' absolute proofs, of criminal intentions or cri-
Noal conduct, the Magistrates most mercifully
.give the prisoners the full benefit of every doubt
14 their favour, and acquit them.

The chief organ of Party this day, quoting
',,,rom another rancorous party print, called The
`Scotsman, says," At present we must waive all
%sideration of the blackening and blackguard
system of desperate or corrupt men"!!!—lt
‘puld be more for the credit of both of the
ournals alluded to, if they would make this
64sideration a general rule of action, and not
and
it on the present occasion to a particular,
we may add, perhaps, a solitary instance.

CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
thYvio private expresses have been from Paris during
3 forenoon, the first quoting the Renteron Monday at 87f.
DJ., and the latter at 87f. 40c. being a decline of from l?.; to 2
13J cent, on the Saturday's quotations. Two reasons only can
ba4leged for this fall--either that the current report of distur-
be-'ces in France is true, or that Russia and Turkey have not
4,en able to settle their differences amicably. Many rumours
11,,e in circulation ; but as nothing is known publicly, they are
41' worth repeating. The funds here felt the effect of the de-
for'ne in Paris, and a general panic for some time existed. Consols
4,1, the April account, which opened at 79 g ,b fell to 79
the Wore a gloomy appearance. They however rallied before
ti close, and the last price was 79 g It was reported that
th°:".,ern. ment had received dispatches from Lord Strangford of
be: Ith March, stating, that the three great points in dispute
eh;'wlzt Russia and Turkey had been settled, and that his Lord-
hip had great hopes in a few days to communicate that all the
.(01)°,e points were arranged. This rumour had an effect on the
R,,ck Exchange, though no gentleman connected with Turkey
ve it the slightest credit. The foreign securities also expe-
peerliced a depression, and even the Spanish bonds fell one half
Wks cent —ln French Fives nothing could be done, and no price
serlt quoted._-Money continues very scarce ; but when the pre-
ividends are paid, it will again be plentiful, and the Spa-
-o_4, securities are likely to be dearer, should no political event
occur to alter the present state of Europe.

1,, It is whispered in the gossipping circles of
washion, that a certain Marchioness begins to
ane in her influence, and that an Irish Countess

evatedfarouritism.
