LE ,VAN T MAIL.

By the Lew:aMailWe have received Constanti-
nople papers to the 24th ult., Athens to the 28th, and
Malta to the 24 inst. The Malta mail announces the
return, on the Ist, of the French steamer Tancrede,
from Constantinople. It had fallen in with the fleet
of Sir William Parker, off Scio. The Ripon steamer
arrived at Malta on the 30th, with the outward India
mail, and left the following day for Alexandria.
The Constantinople journals give no further in-
fGrmation relative to the differences concerning the
refugees. The last steamer from Odessa had brought
the intelligence that Fuad Effendi had been received
at Warsaw with the greatest honour.
The Tartare steamer, which had left for Toulon on
the 14th, arrived at Constantinople on the 24th,
having a British Cabinet courier on board, with
dispatches for the British embassy. The French
steamer Tanerede had arrived with Riza Bey, at-
tached to the translating office of the Porte, charged
with dispatches for the Imperial Government. Ge-
neral Aupick, who, by the same conveyance, had
received important dispatches from his Government,
immediately proceeded to Balta Liman, where he had
a conference with the Grand Vizier and the
Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Porte has given
orders to all governors of provinces to aid and protect
all refugees appealing to them, except from motives
which may compromise the Cabinet, and has also
addressed a note to them announcing that the affairs
between Austria, Russia, and the Porte have been

interrupted, but remained in data quo. The Journal
ddc Contitantinotle publishes the following memoran-
dum, addressed by the Porte to the representative of
the French Republic:—
" Monsier le Ministre has expressed a desire to ob-
tain some explanation concerning certain differences
apparently existing between the memorandum, addressed
by the Sublime Porte to all the heads of misssion,
dated the 29th Rebieul Akir of this year, concerning
the exchange, and the public declaration made by the
Bank of Constantinople in the beginning of the month
of March. I, therefore, have the honour to inform
him that the Sublime Porte has, for this year, adopted
the same course it followed last year, namely, that the
operations of exchange are wholly for its own account;
that it has only named MM. Jacques Alkiltan and Em-
manuel Baltuazi directors of th,, Bank, and that the paper
they give is placed under the guarantee of the Imperial
Government.
"I take this opportunity, &c.
"End of Zil Cadi, 1265 (Oct. 16)."
The same journal announces the arrival at Constan-
tinople of the Turkish State steamer Peiki Chevket
from Samos, having on board several of the most
distinguished inhabitants of that island, come to ex-
pose their complaints to the Turkish Government,
and to give it the assurance of their devotedness and
loyalty. The Porte had listened to their complaints,
and promised to pay attention to them, as soon as the
inhabitants of Samos should have returned to their
duty and obedience. Mr. Karr, ex• Minister of the
United States to the Sublime Porte, sailed on the
20th for America, on board the Sultan. Mr. Brown,
dragoman of the office, fulfils his duties tbd interim.
The situation of Bosnia, according to the last ac-
counts, appeared to have improved. No further ac-
counts had been received from Persia concerning the
apprehended insurrection. The Currier d' 'Wenn
contains no news of importance. The precarious
situation of the Greek Cabinet still continued.

DEATH OP LORD ALVANLEY.—II is with regret
that we record the death of Lord Alvanley. The Noble
Lord had for some short time been ill, and he expired
yesterday (Friday), about one o'clock in the afternoon.
Lord Alvanley never married. He was related to the
Wilbraham family, his mother having been a daughter
of Richard Wilbraham Bootle, Esq., and a sister of
Lord Skelmersdale. Lord Alvanley is succeeded in his
title by his brother, the Hon. Richard Arden, who was
formerly a lieutenant-colonel in the army, but, like his
brother, he retired. He was born in 1792, and married,
in 1831, the Lady Arabella Vane, } ()ingest daughter of
the first Duke of Cleveland.
FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning at eleven
o'clock an inquest was taken at the Charing-cross Hos-
pital, before Mr. Bedford, on view of the body of Chas.
Brooks, aged 23, who met with en accident at Russsell's
blacking manufactory, Strand, on Wednesday last. It
appeared that last Ws dnesday forenoon the deceased and
two other men were raising a hogshead of blacking by
means of a crane, when, while shifting the handle for the
Purpose of lowering the hogshead on a platform, the
handle got loose from the deceased's hand and immedi-
ately revolved, and the deceased received a violent blow
from it ou the right eye and knocked him down. He
was taken to the above institution, when the eye was
found completely destroyed, and two pieces of bone were
dislodged. Iliflimmatien subsequently came on, which
extended to th., brain and caused death. There was also
an extensive fracture. Verdict, " Accidental death."
MURDER BY A CONVICT IN MILLBAIO. PENITEN.•
TIARY.—HaII. the unfortunate warder who was so
brutally attacked by John Francis, one of the convicts
in Millbank, as described in our impression of yester-
day, expired in the course of Thursday night, having re-
mained in a state of insensibility from the moment of the
assault. He was forty-three years of age, and has left
a large family. It is conjectured that the first blow must
have rendered the unfortunate man defenceless, as
within a few yards from where be fell there was an alarm
bell, which, no doubt, he vt ould have rung had he been
able to reach it.
