WADHURST CASTLE IN SUSSEX,
With a DOMAIN Of 358 Acres, including the PLEASURE
FARM, of 112 Acres—all FREEHOLD—TITHE FREE
and
MLAND-TAX REDEEMED on a portion of it,
R. GEORGE ROBINS will SELL by
AUCTION at the Mart in London, on TUESDAY the
28th of August, at Twelve o'clock, in two lots ;
WADHURST CASTLE
has long been familiar to the public as one of the interesting features
of its delightful vicinage; it is six miles beyond Tonbridge Wells,
only three from

- THE ROMANTIC VILLAGE OF FRANT,
and, en route, to
HASTINGS AND ST. LEONARDS.
It has long been a commanding, as well as an interesting, object to
the traveller. The order of architecture is chaste and precisely
what a castle should be; it is erected of stone, placed on an emi-
nence, which tends materially to increase its outward pretensions,
besides aiding very much the
INTERESTING VIEW OVER THE PARK AND•ESTATE.
The entree is direct from the London-road, through luxuriant
plantations inclining by a serpentine drive to the Mansion.
THE PANORAMIC LANDSCAPE
that is presented can hardly be surpassed in England ; it approaches
the delightful illusion which
THE EARL OF ABERGAVENNY'S FAMED WOODS
(which divide this property from Tunbridge Wells) never fails to
inspire. In the distance is seen Rose Hill, Burwash, and Whiligh,
with
WADHURST TOWN AND ITS FAMED SPIRE, AND
THE SURROUNDING WOODLAND SCENERY,
perpetually to vary and to enliven the scene, and which is rendcred
perfect by

THE RICH HOP-GROUNDS
that are dotted about- in every direction. The Castle is not more
than commensurate to the legitimate objects of a respectable family,
as it was originally designed for, and is entirely adapted to comfort.
in its comprehensive form, with offices within and without, so com-
plete as to leave no wish or inclination ungratified.
THE NOBLE TERRACE-WALK,
is adorned by little thousands of American and Flowering Shrubs,
that have weathered the by-gone Winter's piercing cold, and thus
demonstrated the congeniality and mildness of the climate.
TIIE PLEASURE AND KITCHEN GARDENS
are abundant, and there are PROLIFIC ORCHARDS, the pro-
duct of which is almost incalculable. Around
THE CASTLE DEMESNE ARE
THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-EIGHT ACRES,
disposed in

WOODS, PLANTATIONS, MEADOW
PASTURE, ARABLE AND HOP GROUNDS.
entirely within a ring fence, a portion of which is
TITHE FREE, AND LAND TAX REDEEMED.
The soil throughout is excellent ; the produce generally so abun-
dant, as to incline a gentleman to agricultural pursuits, while the
produce from

THE HOP PLANTATIONS
'lath alone, and not. unfrequently, brought 7001. and 8001. into the
treasury. The neighbourhood is highly respectable ; and if gaiety
be numbered amongst the anxieties of a new possessor,
TONBRIDGE WELLS
will afford him ample scope; and a limited visit to Wadhurst
Churchyard will cheer the inquirer with the probability of a long
life. Longevity is therein proclaimed to be one of the delights of
this esteemed neighbourhood. There is plenty of game upon the
estate, and the farining lands are all well supplied with water.
The Second Lot will include
THE PLEASURE FARM TITHE-FREE,
LOCKS HOUSE and GROUNDS in WADHURST TOWN
The residence is adapted to a genteel occupation. Mr. Collis, the
solicitor, occupies it, with the garden and offices.
THE FARM EXTENDING TO ONE HUNDRED AND
TWELVE ACRES
is one of the best and most profitable in the vicinity, and the Hop
Plantations unusually productive.
THE PROPERTY IS ALL FREEHOLD,
and it may be affirmed without the slightest expectation that any
one can gainsay it, that for a residence or Investment it would be
no easy task to discover a parellel case.
Particulars, with a beautiful Drawing and Plan, to view the
Castle, may be had Six Weeks antecedent to the Sale (for sixpence
each, only to avoid idle intrusion), at the best Inns and Libraries at
Tonbridgo Wells, Hastings, and St. Leonards; also at Seven Oaks
_
and Tonbridge Town; of Messrs. Harrison, Solicitors, Southampton-
buildings;
toa
buildings; the Mart, and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, London.

MASTER MIND OF AN ARTISTE
to arrive at. On an emergency, it has facilities to accommodate a
HOST OF VISITORS ;
yet irgenuity has so contrived it, that there is a total absence of
that comfortless feeling which belongs to the significant term of
being over-housed. It will be found, however, that althou;11 it
does not aspire to all the attributes of
CASHIOBURY PARK,
its neighbouring and successful rival, yet for comfort and accommo.
dation, it will not yield one jot.
THE DOMAIN IS NEAR
ONE HUNDRED ACRES OF PARK GROUNDS
and prolific meadows, including the extensive plantations, lawns,
and pleasure grounds. The kitchen-gardens are fully equal to
supply the family. There is beside a grapery and melon grounds.
The society far and near is remarkable for its social qualities ; and
sporting iu its comprehensive form may be numbered amongst its
multitudinous agremens. It should hare been observed that for a
winter. residence it claims precedence of any neighbouring com-
peer. It is secluded by its richly wooded scenery from the piercing
cold ; and the by-gone winter has given proof as " strong as Holy
Writ" to this assertion, inasmuch as the plants have been sustained
triumphantly throughout the fearful season that has passed. The
mansion, by means of a peculiar stove, is warmed by hot water; and
in depth of winter, cold is estranged from this mansion of comfort.
It can only be viewed by cards. Particulars, with a Drawing
(at 6d. each) may be had 21 days' prior to the sale at the principal
Inn at Watford, Elstree, and Stanmore ; of Messrs. Capron, Weld,
Dawson, and Brabant, Saville-row ; the Mart ; and the Offices in
Covent-garden.

PURE WATER.
THE ROYAL FILTERS,
Sole Office 163, STRAND, LONDON, opposite the New
Church.

To purify Foul Water like that supplied to the Inhabitants of the
principal Cities and Towns in England, replete with every species
of offal and myriads of animalculm, and to convert it forthwith
into an enlivening wholesome and chrystaline beverage like tilt
Mountain Spring, is one of the most difficult problems of scienc e
which thousands in every age and country have attempted in vain,
having produced at best a vapid sickening beverage, till the happy
electro-chymical invention of ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTERS
appeared. This has justly been characterized by one of fie
highest practical authorities, as " The only effectual and whole-
s3lllC mode of filtration ;" as a proof of the fidelity of this re-
mark, it will be sufficient to observe, that during the prevalence of
the fatarfeve; that has lately pervaded the Metropolis, not a public
establishment or private residence in which the Royal Filters had
been adopted was visited by the scourge; the advantages of the
discovery has already raised up a host of humble imitators, but it
will be found that all other apparatus are imperfect in action, sub-
ject to constant disarrangement, and in many cases render the use
of the water dangerous to health. It is only necessary to add, that
the Royal Filters are protected; by her Majesty's Letters Patent ;
that they have been adopted in all the Royal Residences, the
various branches of the Public Service, her Majesty's Navy, and
the mansions and residences of more than 160,000 families through-
out the Kingdom. To render the invention of general benefit, it
has been proposed to the Patentee by the most influential Members
of the College of Physicians to reduce the prices in order to render
then' available to all branches of the community, and accordingly
the following scale is submitted to public attention.

LONDON :
SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1938.

What we yesterday stated would be the case, took
place last night in the House of Lords. The parties com-
promised their differences on the Canada Bill, or rather the
Ministers announced that they would accept it, proposing
some modifications, which they in fact withdrew, and have
agreed to pass the Bill through the House of Com-
mons. So ends, we think, the magnificent Vice-
Royalty of the Earl of DURHAM. Lord MELBOURNE
repeated last night that he thought their Lordships
had struck a severe blow at all authority, and we
agree with Lord MELBOURNE. The facts of the case,
as they appear to the unlearned piiblic here, and probably
will appear to the same class of person.; in Canaria, ere
simply these

Lord DURHAM was selected for his character and his
high rank as a statesman to undertake the task of pacifying I
and settling Canada. Ills acceptance of the office was
considered as a sacrifice on his part, which he made, banish-
ing himself to an ungenial climate, and' to a scene of
toil ' and trouble, out of a sense of duty, and in com-
pliance with the wish of the highest Person in the land.
He went, it was generally supposed, armed with very great
powers ; for the Ministerial Journals had enough to do to
repel the attacks which were made on the arbitrary, ex-
tensive, and unconstitutional Act which lie was to be en-
trusted to execute. No person, we believe, attempted to
excuse cr defend the granting of those powers, except as
a matter of stern necessity ; and it was alleged on the side
of the Ministerialists that the character of the Noble Earl
was a full and sufficient guarantee that those powers would
not be abused. The Bill was, in fact, strenuously re-
sisted because it conftsrred those powers ; and yet so
profound was the impression that they were necessary, and
were given to the fullest extent, that the Noble Lord who
most strenuously opposed the Bill, deprecated sending
Lord DURHAM to Canada with mutilated powers, which
might render his task hopeless. If ever an impression
was general in the public, it was that Lord DURHAM
went to Canada armed with the most extraordinary
powers that ever were entrusted to an individual acting un-
der the authority of the British Legislature. No sooner,
however, does Lord DURHAM arrive in Canada, than
his acts are questioned here. So impatient are the
Peers to take back the authority, if it were granted,
or to demonstrate, it if it were not, that it still remainsin their
bands, that they throw doubts on the very first important
act lie performs, discuss its propriety, and end by virtually
setting it aside. Thus the people, both here and in Canada,
who were taught by the orators and writers of both par-
ties to believe Lord DURHAM almost omnipotent, are at
once convinced that his power i 3 a mere phantom, and
be as insignificant. except that he lives in a little more
state, as an Irish stipendiary trrigistratc. If no trap were set
for Lord Dean AM, as has Lem said, there has been a large
one fur the public, into which they have fallen. The first
step be took having been set aside by the Peers, who shall
convince the people here and in Canada, that his second
and third steps arc not also illegal ? Nothing he does, or
can do, will be corriclered valid or deserving of confidence
in Canada, till it has received the sanction of the House of
Peers. The people will look, not to Lord DURHAM,
but to Westminster. The Houses of Parliament have
constituted themselves the Executive Government of Cana-
da ; and Lord DUP.HA )4, if he retain his power, which
we feel confident he will not one post day after the news
of last night's- proceedings rsachts Quebec, will be the
mere tool or instrument of the British Parliament. Now,
to have such great authority as was supposed to be confided
to Lord DURHAM at once overthrown, is certainly a severe
blow at all authority.
It unfortunately happens that the Assembly which has
struck the blow is itself a much-decried authority. Here,
in England and in Ireland, the Parliament, and particularly
the House of Peers, is far from being highly honoured—in the
Canadas, we apprehend, it is rather contemned and des..
pised. The Houses of Parliament cannot establish their
own authority in Canada ; nor can they make the laws,
which in fact have already been completely set aside by
both parties, respected there. They have been in force,
and have been complained of and overruled. The
Ministers have been rudely shaken by the Peers ;
Lord DURHAM'S power is thrown prostrate, and we
see nothing which is or can be substituted in its
place. If the troubles are not revived in Canada ;
if M. PANNE Au and the Republicans be not encouraged,
by these conflicts between authorities demonstrating their
weakness, once more to assert their own opinions, and en-
deavour to establish their own powers, it will certainly not
be from the vigour with which the Peers have inspired the
Executive and have supported Lord DURHAM. It will be
at once a question, we suppose, who is to be his Lordship's
successor? Who will undertake the task of governing that
distant and disturbed colony, subject to the supervision of
the Tory Peers?

All the persons implicated in, the affair of Timm have
now been found guilty, and sentence of death was passed
on them, while they were at the same time assured that the
sentence was a mere mock ceremony, and would not be
carried into effect. Their Counsel, finding it hopeless to
contend against the law as laid down by the Loan
CHIEF JUSTICE, advised them not to attempt any de-
fence, and they merely called witnesses to cha-
racter. So we suppose ends this lamentable tragedy,
as far as the tribunals of the country are concerned.

The Parliament has instituted no inquiry into the conduct
of the Justices, the Courts have not gone out of the deposi-
tions, and the deluded and suffering people are alone branded
as guilty. If we considered hanging an appropriate pu-
nishment for any species of offence, we should say there
were others more worthy of that punishment than the de-
luded followers of Thom.

We must again express our regret that the conduct of
these people should be described by the LORD CHIEF
JUSTICE a 3 murder. The Noble Lord, in his address
to the criminals, marked out very distinctly that their offence
was not murder, but resisting the law. He said " that
many of the misguided men had fallen under the
exertion of those who were called on to pro-
tect the law, and, in point of fact, they may be
considered as having already p lid the forfeit of the law.
Those men necessarily, and therefore lawfully put to death
in the vindication of legal authority, may be taken, I think,
as persons whom the law has already sacrificed." Here
then was slaughter on both sides, and the sole difference
betwixt the two cases is, that the soldiers acted
under lawful authority, and the deluded fanatics acted
under the unlawful authority assumed by THOM. That
was their guilt. If that, then, were their offence,
why, we ask, should their conduct be classed and de-
scribed as murder? When we consider how very
careful are scientific men to distinguish one plant, or one
stone from another, making a little difference of hardness, in
a mineral as it may be scratched by the nail, or remain un-
scathed by the point of a knife—making the number of
indentations in a leaf, or in the stamen, a sufficient reason for
giving different names to minerals and plants, we cannot but
complain of the gross and disgusting generalizations which
are yet suffered to prevail in the law, and which class such
different actions as those of GREENACRE and the followers of
Moat, under the one name murder, and describe as totally
different, the similar acts committed by them and the sol-
diers. How any man blundering on such an absurdity by
the comparisons thrust on him, does not shrink aghast from
carrying such a law into execution, astonishes us. Such
conduct confounds all just distinctions—demoralizes the
people—and makes the law appear a brutal and bloody
instrument of mischief.

We have this morning received further accounts from
the Cape of Good Hope to the 10th of June. It would
appear that the emigrant farmers near Port Natal, after
a first defeat, had again attacked the enemy with a much
larger force than had yet been opposed to him, and with
success, so much so that DINGAAN had only five whole
regiments left.
The affair at Port Natal is given at some length in
the Graham's Town Journal of May 31. That paper,
after giving an account of the attack made upon DINGAAN
on the llth April by a body of 400 mounted farmers, un-
der the command of PIET UYS (who was killed) and POT.
GIEDER, and the ultimate retreat of emigrants, leaving at
the lowest computation between 500 and GOO Zoolas dead
on the field, says— _ _

" It appears that on the very day this severe action was fought, the
Natal settlers, under the command of Mr. R. Biggar, marched from the
Port to co.operate with the farmers. On the morning of the 17th they
at length came in contact with the Zoola army, flushed with the vic-
tory, as they conceived it, which they had just before gained over the
farmers. The Natal force, it is said, consisted of 800 men, 300 of whom
were armed with guns, and supplied with powder and ball. The
hostile forces immediately came to action, but with the details we are
not furnished. The conflict, however, must have been most desperate
and bloody, as the result was most disastrous. Two-thirds of the Natal
settlers are said to have f..llen. Amongst them are thirteen Europeans:
the names are—R. Biggar, J. Cane, J. Stubbs, C. Blanckenberg, R.
Wood, W. Wood, H. Batts, W. Bottomley, J. Kemble, T. Carden,
T. Russell, Lovedale, and J. Clarke. It is said that the Zoolas lost
in this engagement three entire regiments of 1,000 men each.
" Fortunately for the settlers, still at Natal, on the arrival of this
disastrous intelligence, the brig Comet was still in the harbour, having
been delayed by the illness of the master. Here they found refuge,
and we understand that it is the intention of the Rev. Messrs. Owen
avid Lindley to come round in her to the Colony, first touching at Dela-
goa Bay, whither she is bound.

Since the defeat of the Natal settlers, 200 farmers have been lent to
the Port for the protection of the place.
" Previous to this, and shortly after the defeat of the Natal force, the
Zoolers poured down upon the settlement at the Port. They remained
then three days, wed swept it of evsry head of cattle. From the vessel
in the harbour, those on board could perceive them marehing down the
which it is said were black forseveral miles with their numbers.
The native settlers had fled to the bush, and all the moveable property of
value conveyed on board the brig. The houses at Natal had not been
destroyed by the Zoolas, as they were deterred from approaching the
shore by a shot occasionally discharged from the vessel.
" The general opinion expressed in letters is, that the Zoola force and
prowess have been greatly underrated. The farmers say that they
fought in a far more determined manner than is customary with any of
the native tribes with whom they are acquainted.

" The concluding paragraph of a letter froni Buntingville, Amapon.
daland, dated 11th May, is important. It is as follows:—` The bearers
of the letters from Natal containing the foregoing intelligence, state that
` the army Dingaan sent out was entirely cut off. It consisted of seven
regiments. Dingaan has now only live whole regiments left, and the
farmers have got to the rear of the Zoola force, and have thus cut °flits
retreat toward Dclagoa Bay.' It is also said that the emigrants have
dispatched messengers along the line to the rear, calling spoil every
man to march forward without a moment's delay."

We are by no means surprised to find that the demand
made by the French Government for the expulsion of
Prince Lours NAPOLEON BONAPARTE from the Swiss
territory, is indignantly denounced as an act of despotic
aggression upon the freedom of an independent State, by
the liberal portion of the French press. The cool and im-
pudent assurance of the Duke de Mosreeem.o, who, in
his diplomatic note to the Council of Lucerne, scruples
not to justify such a demand, on the plea of France owing
it to herself to make it, can only be surpassed by his re-
ference to the " attempt of Strasburg," after the shame-
ful disclosures that have been made respecting the parts
which his Royal Master and himself performed in that
Machiavelian affair. After it has become known to all
Europe that the Strasburg conspiracy was planned in Paris ;
that the members of the Cabinet knew all about it long
before a syllable of it was breathed to the Royal Exile ;
that the KING concurred in the expediency of trying the
effect of its development, even at the hazard of involvii g
innocent men in the guilt of rebellion, and possibly of
bloodshed ; that the money necessary for carrying it on
was supplied by the Treasury—and all to involve in the
crime of high treason, and to get possession of the 'person
of Prince Lows NAPOLEON, the effrontery of the diplo-
matist who affects to dread the recurrence of such an out-
rage may well astonish the Swiss Vorort. The Duke de
Mos:am:m.o, or rather the Minister for Foreign Affair. ,
complains of the conduct of the Swiss Vorort, in suffering
the exiled Prince to obtain a second time an asylum within the
territory of the Republic. This complaint is as curious as
it is unreasonable. The Prince violated the French
charter by attempting to overturn the Monarchy of 1830.
He f tiled, as he ought to do ; and the French Government
by an act as unconstitutional a; his own, banished him
without trial to the United States. His return was the
result of no act, direct or indirect, of the Swiss Confe-
deracy ; neitherdid he, at his own personal hazard, attempt
to revisit France. The French Government of its own
accord, revoked the sentence of his banishment, that he
might console by his presence a dying mother ; and having
paid the last sad duties to her remains, he retired to that
State in which for several years he bad found a safe
asylum, and the laws of which he had never violated.
Under these circumstances, the Swiss Government could
not close its territory against him, without stooping to the
meanness of actirrg as the servile instrument of the French
Minister of Police. Having expiated by a temporary la-
nishment an offence purely political—an offence committed
against a Government which claimed and punished him as
a citizen—it was no part of the duty of Switzerland, or of any
independent Power; however friendly to France, to refuse
the Prince an asylum so long as he was wiiling to yield
obedience to its general laws.
The French Government complains that the Prince
styles himself a Frenchman whenever he conceives
the hope of disturbing the peace of his country, and
a citizen of Thurgau when the Government of his
country wishes to prevent the repetition of his criminal at-
tempts. We really cannot see what the Swiss Govern-
ment has to do with this question of abstract citizenship.
The Prince and his family are for ever banished from tile
soil of France. It can therefore matter very little to other
States what claims of citizenship they set up, provided
they obey the laws of the countries in which they may
happen to be settled. What stress France herself lays
upon the Prince's claim to be considered as a citizen of
Thurgau is known to all who have paid the least attention
to the trials consequent upon the Strasburg insurrecticn.
Why not now continue to treat that claim with the same
real or affected derision? A diplomatist who invokes the
sanction of the law of nations, ought at least to know that
the Swiss Vorort in declining to claim the Prince when
seized for a political crime at Strasburg, and the French
Government in proceeding against him on a charge of h'gh
treason, effectually disposed of the disputed question of
citizenship. When France had the Prince in her power
she gave herself no concern whatever about the authen-
ticity of his Swiss credentials. Wherefore, then, this in-

suiting mockery about the prevention of the Prince from
calling himself a Swiss when and where he pleases?
But the worst is yet to come, The Duke de MONTE-
BELLO in his note says—" It is a notorious fact that Aren-
enberg (the residence of Prince Louis) is the centre of ma-
chinations which the KING'S Government has aright, and isin
duty bound, to prohibit so near its frontier." Is then Prince
Louis so very formidable? Does the King of the FRENCH ac-
tually dread an invasion of his territory by some twenty or thirty
French Refugees, and as many Swiss Auxiliaries, headed
by this hair-brained scion of the Impend Family ? It
would appear so from his suffering his Representative thus
to threaten the Vorort with hostilities in the event of a
refusal. Now both the demand and the threat are clearly
a violation of the law of nations. VATTEL, whom all
French Diplomatists rank deservedly high as an authority
upon the subject of international law, lays it down as a
maxim (Book 1, ch. xix., sec. 228), " When the Society
has excluded one of its members by a perpetual banish-
ment, he is only banished from the lands of that Society,
and it cannot hinder him from living wherever else he
pleases ; for after having once driven him out it can no
longer claim any authority over him." The same author
repudiates the diplomatic doctrine of France, that it was
the duty of the Vorort to have punished Prince Louis
by expulsion, for a political crime committed against the
Majesty of Louis PHILIPPE. "If an exile, or banished
man," says VATTEL, " has been driven from his country
for any crime, it does not belong to the nation in which he
has taken refuge to punish him for that fault committed in
a foreign country. For Nature does not give to men or
to nations any right to inflict punishment except for their
own defence and safety ; whence it follows that we cannot
punish any but those by whom we have been injured." This
opinion, in nearly the same words, will be found in PrF-
FENDORFF (Book 8, ch. xi.), preceded by a declaration
that nothing but the avoidance of a war between two States
should induce the weaker to disturb an exile while obedient
to the laws of the land of his adoption.
In the discussion of a plain question, upon the merits of
which every sensible man is capable of forming a sound
opinion, we should not have referred to standard authori-
ties, were we not sensible that the French Government
will bolster its justification upon some mangled extract from
GROTIUS, and the works we have just quoted. The real
object of the King of the FRENCH is less to compel the
banishment of a dangerous citizen, than to trample
upon the independence of the Vorort. He is merely play-
ing the game of Austria and Prussia. The affected dread
of machinations of Louis BONAPARTE is a pretext too
bunglinc, to deceive any person with two ideas in his head.
Were he to enter France twenty times, he would never
again be able to collect a dozen of followers, and no person
knows better than does the Duke de MONTEBELLO, that
had the French Cabinet not had more to do with the
Strasburg rebellion than the silly-pated Prince who placed
himself at the head of it, the chances are as fifty to one
that the world would never have heard a syllable about it.
To distract the attention of the French nation from a con-
sideration of the retrograde system of the Government at
home, may be good policy on the part of the KING ; but
we question whether England will do her duty if she
calmly suffer any' violation of the rights of the Swiss Re-
public. States of the geographical and moral magnitude'
of the Canton of Lucerne and the Mexican Republic are
suited to the warlike genius of the ruler of modern France.
There was a time when it was otherwise.

The Paris Journals of Thursday are wholly taken up
with discussing the questions of the expulsion of Prince
LOUIS NAPOLEON from the Swiss territory, and the con-
duct of M. FABRICIUS in purchasing documents, sup-
posed to be purloined from the archives of the Foreign-
office. Some of them openly assert that the purchase of
such documents was not confined to M. Flamm's, it be-
ing notorious that the three Great Northern Powers united
with Holland in devoting one thousand francs each, monthly,
for clandestinely procurinc, copies of certiin pipers lodged
at the Foreign-office. For our own part we pay no regard
whatever to such assertions, nor do we believe that any high-
minded diplomatist would stoop to the indignity of corrupting
by brilics the civil servants of any friendly Power. As to
the question of the expulsion (,f Prince Louts NAPOLEON, all
thit we rare to say at present upon the subject will be found
in a separate article in this day's Sun.
The latest advices from Madrid are of the 2nd inst., but
they do not bring a syllable of interesting intelligence.
The following are extracts from the Paris Papers of
Thursday :

The following letter from Toulon, dated 4th of August, has been
received:—

" Admiral Lalancle having been informed off Tunis, by an English
brig, that the Turkish fleet had quitted Constantinople, and having no
news of the squadron of Admiral Gallois, proceeded to Tripoli, with the
Jena (of the line), and the Latin brig. There he received a confirma-
tion of the news of the sailing of the Turkish fleet, and he was informed
that it was expected in that port. The Admiral then sailed back to
Tunis, leaving with the French Consul at Tunis, despatches for Admiral
Gallois. Tie squadron of Admiral Gallois was seen under sail, by some
merchantmen, near the Archipelago; the firing of cannon was heard,
and it was imagined that there was an engagement between the French
and Turkish squadrons ; but when those vessels were nearer they
perceived that Admiral Gallois was only making the crews practice at
the guns.
" A steam-boat is preparing to depart with despatches for the two
Admirals. The Caravane corvette will also sail in a few days with
provisions for both squadrons."
The Hanover Gazette says, in an article dated Frankfort, 3d August,
that " the Committee appointed by the Diet of the German Confedera-
tion to consider of thedifferences relative to the Constitution of Hanover,
is composed of the Envoys of Saxony, Bavaria, Hesse-Cassel, and Meek-
lenburg."—Le Commerce.

Brussels and German Papers, the former of Thursday's
date, have reached us this morning. Among other ex-
tracts from them, we have subjoined a letter, addressed by
the Prince DE LIGNE, to the Courier Beige, which is ra-
ther a curiosity in its way :
" Castle of Belceil, Aug. 6.

" Monsieur the Editor—l read in your journal of the 4th an extract
from the Amsterdam Ilandel,blal, which expresses itself in the follow.
ing terms on the subject of the Belgian flag having been hoisted by the
British stcarn.boat which brought me back to Antwerp ;---. In setting
sail from London,' says the Handelsblad, the stearn.boat which bore
the Prince de Ligne hoi,ted the Iklgian flag, but the Flushing pilot
having observed that this flag was not admitted in Dutch waters, the
flag was hauled down.' Phe fact is false. The Belgian flag never
ceased to float on the steam-boat from the time it left London till
it reached Antwerp. On the observation of the Flushing pilot, the
Captain did, indeed, propose. to haul down the Belgian flag, and
put up the British one ; but I replied that I would remain on deck, and
under the flag, and would rather have the ship sunk than haul it down.
Th elklgian colours thus did float within range of the guns at Flushing.
As to my own banner at the mainmast, this is a recognised prerogative of
Extraordinary Ambassadors. I was proud to have it floating by the side
of the Belgian flag. The flag of De Ligne was not yielded even to that
of Nassau. James Comte de Ligne, commanding the Walloon troops,
contributed to the defeat of the troops of Gueldres at the battle of Zie-

HANISURtiII, AUGUST I. After the departure of the 400 Lutheran
emigrants from Silc;ia, to South Australia, on board two ships, another
body of them, consisting of 120 persons, has unexpectedly arrived here
on hoard the Oder Bruges. They have applied to the agent of the
South Australian Company here, to be sent by that Company in the same
manner as those who preceded them, to that part of the globe. As soon
as the Rev. Mr. Ravel, Lutheran Clergyman in London, shall have re-
cognised them as members of his community, for which purpose he has
already been written

board the Bruges, where they were crowded together. This is an act
of Christian charity exercised with the consent of the Magistrates, which
needs no further commendation, and is equally honourable to all parties.

TIIE LATE MRS. DUGALD STEWART.--011
Friday, the 3d August, 1838, the remains of Mrs. Dugald Stewart were
consigned to the dust in the churchyard of the Canongate, Edinburgh.
She died at the age of 72, have survived her husband, Professor Stewart,
ten years. The friends of Mrs. Stewart, who lament tier loss, are very
numerous. She did much good in her time—probably as much as can
be related of any one who lived the same number of years. She was fa.
voured in her power of doing good by her situation in society. The
wife of Dugald Stewart, a philosopher in the highest rank of literary
reputation, she was looked up to with a respect inferior to none that was
paid to Intellect, rank, or power. When she was in the zenith of her
life, it may be doubted if a person departing from Scotland could have
carried a stronger recommendation into the intellectual world of Eng-
land or America than a letter of introduction from Mrs. Dugald Stewart.
She was the habitual and confidential companion of Dugald Stewart
during his studies, and he never considered a piece of his composition
to be finished until she had reviewed it. He himself said, that although
she did not probably understand the abstract points of his philosophy so
well as he did himself, yet when he had once made out a truth into an
inteligilfie shape, she helped hint to illustrate it by a play of fancy and
of feeling which could come only from a woman's mind. Her
position
in society, it has been said, was exceedingly fortunate. In spite of
political differences, she sustained her influence in the northern metro-
polis when it was really dmetropolis of intellectual power. To the last she
was remarkable for a winning gentleness of manner—a meekness more
impressive than austerity—by which, during her whole life, she had ex-
ercised greater influence on those around her than others could do by.
an assumption of dignity. Her last hours, nay, her last days and
months, were serene and free from suffering.—Abridged from the Edin-
burgh Courant.
