ST. PETEitSBURGH, .JULY 20

A letter from Constantinople of 22d June, received by way
of Odessa, says—" The Porte has lately given a very energetic
note to the British Ambassador here, complaining of the con-
duct of a Captain of an English ship at the Isle o Rhodes,
who had compelled the Turkish Paella commanding there, by
a bombardment from his frigate, to indemnify the English
Consul for robberies committed on his property by Turkish
sailors.

BERLIN, Jur.v 30.

Mr. Jacob, from London, formerly Member of Parliament,
is now here. He is travelling with instructions from the Go-
vernment to inquire into the state of the corn trade, the cultiva-
tion of corn, and the stock in the magazines of North Germany.
He will visit Mr. Thaer, Count Von Itzenplitz, and some
other great landholders in this neighbourhood, thence to go to
the 5r.,.-ports of Pomerania, and afterwards to Poland. As far
as we can learn, Mr. Jacob is said to express himself favourably
for the German landholders, giving them to hope that the Eng-
lish Government intends to allow the free importation of corn.

It appears by Letters from Paris that the pro
ect for the formation of a port in the plain o

Grenelle, and of a canal from Park to Havre
has been approved by the Council of State. Se.
veral Geometricians are examining the level o

the waters from the Rhine to the Marne, and
from the Marne to the Seine ; the port of Paris
will also communicate with the Rhine ; and the
commerce of Germany with the French capital

is expected to be very considerable.
The Augsburg Gazette contains a letter from
Marseilles, which says, that the communications
with Egypt become difficult, on account of the
plague at Alexandria, where it rages to a great
extent. The most important piece of news lately
received from that city is, that the plague has
spread among the troops assembled near Alexan-
dria, and which were destined for the Morea.
The Viceroy has found it necessary to order
these troops to return into the interior of the
country. In consequence of this event, the new
expedition is deferred, and it is very possible it
may not take place.
Letters from Lirne to the 6th of April were
received yesterday. lip to that date no impres-
sion had been made by the blockading force on
the fortress of Callao. The trenches had been

opened at the distance of about a mile from the
town, and a smart fire was maintained, which,
however, was answered with nearly equal spirit
on the part of the besieged. The rumour
of an offer having been made to capitulate is not
adverted to in these letters.

On Tuesday afternoon the Ambassadors of
Foreign, Powers and the Minister for Foreign
Affairs assembled in conference, at the house of
Lord GRANVILLE, Ambassador of Great Britain.
Their Excellencies remained together more than
an hour.—(Paris Papers.) _

The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived at Brussels
on Wednesday last.
‘Ye hear that the four brothers, ROTHSCHILD,
who are now at Paris, have had a conference with
the Minister of the Finances, which lasted six

hours.—Messrs. ROTHSCHILD, it is added, had
afterwards a conference with the Syndicate of the
Receivers-General.—(Galignani's Messenger.)
Thursday the Mining Company of Ireland be-
gan smelting lead ore at 13a11ycorus, in the neighbourhood of
Dublin. It is expected that they will be able to deliver the
lead at 15 tons per week.—(Dublin Freeman's Journal.)
A paragraph, taken from the Morning Papers,
appeared in THE SUN of yesterday, stating that
" in a second carriage were Lord WM. LENNOX,
with Miss PATON, &e., and that the party
have lately been playing at Worthing with Col.
BERKELEY, his brother and other amateurs."
It might be inferred that Lord WM. LENNOX had
been playing at Worthing, which is not the fact.
Miss PATON had been engaged for a few nights

at Worthing, and then came to fulfil her en-
gagement at the English Opera House, where she
has received the applause due to her great mu-
sical and theatrical talents.

Mr. youttss, Kin's messenger, died on Sa-
turday evening last. Mr. KAYE, also a King's
Messenger, died-on Sunday morninA.
EXTINCTION OF THE DUBLIN STAR.—Thurs-
day, the Sheriff's officers and their auctioneer,
Mr. Littledale, proceeded to the Star-office, and
sold by auction the type, presses, and other ap.
paratus belonging to that establishment. The
sale was under writ of levari facins, at the suit of
the King, by order of the Commissioners of Stamps,
to recover certain sums due to the Stamp-office.
—(Dublin Morning Post.)
ANOTHER. AWFUL SUDDEN DEATH.--This
morning TuostAs HUMPHREYS, Esq. a
gentleman
of fortune, and brother to the Baronet, left his
Inn, the Horse and. Groom, Great Portland-
street, in a hackney coach, for the Tower stairs,
from whence he contemplated embarking by -one
of the Boulogne steam packets, for the South of
France. On the coachman arriving at the Tower,
about five o'clock, he opened the coach door, and
found the deceased lying against one of the sides,
in a state of insensibility, lie endeavoured to
arouse him, but could nor, and sent for a surgeon ;
but ere any medical man could be found, Mr.
HUMPHREYS breathed his last. As a quantity of
luggage was in the coach, the driver determined
o
body to be removed ; and
putting ticket porter in the coach, returned to
io allowing the
the Horse and Groom inn, where he deposited
the deceased gentleman's body, which awaits the
Incitq!t.

THE THEATRE.

HAY MA RIC ET.—T he whimsical Comedy, with

the whimsical name, of John Burt,-by, , was revived
at this Theatre last night. The part of John
Buzzby, originally represented by Mr. TERRY,
was last night assigned to Mr. W. FARREN.—
Both of these respectable actors represented the
character with effect. TEnny gave a grave cast

t.) it, which made the perplexities in which he is
involved more distressi►►g than they appeared last
night in FA !MEN'S performance, but the humor-
ous colouring which the latter threw over it ren-
dered it not less diverting,. Mrs. II UMBY looked
very pretty in Jenny Jingle—and there is, per-
haps, more genuine simplicity in her acting than
in any other actress on the London boards. The
Proprietor was wise in retaining her, and she is
indebted to him for securing her a reception on
the Winter boards. The Comedy went off very
Well, and was followed by the last new piece,
Quite correct, which, by the supportinf LISTON,
Mrs. CLOVER, her daughter, Mrs. DAvisoN, and
VINT NG, excited mirth, interest, and applause.
Midas, went off with its usual success. There was
a very genteel and numerous audience.

ANECDOTE;, &c.

THE ELDER ScALIGEn.—The pride of this celebrated
scholar exceeds belief, and the following anecdote is a sufficient
illustration :—A friend informing him by letter that he intended
to mention him in a forthcoming work, desired to know what
he should say of him. The answer was, as appears in his
printed letters, as follows:—" Endeavour to collect your best
ideas of what Massinassa, what Zenophon, era '.tat Plato
were, and your. portrait will bear some, but an imperfect resem-
blance of me."
The bittl?r of a Nobleman who kept a notoriously bad table,
and was extremely irritable to his servants, gave notice to quit;
and on being asked his reasons for leaving by a clergyman who
recommended him to the Noble Family, replied, that it was too
religious for him. " Too religious !" indignantly exclaimed
the Clergyman. " What do you mean ?" " Why, really, '
what I say is the fact, and I think you will think so too—for it is
Lent till the year round in the kitchen, and Passion-week in the
parlour !"
Ilartlib, the friend of Milton, pensioned by Cromwell for
his agricultural writings, says, that old men in his days re-
membered the first gardeners that came over to Surrey, and sold
turnips, carrots, parsnips, early peas, and rape, which were
then great rarities, being imported from Holland. Cherries and
hops were first planted, he says, in the reign of Henry VIII. ;
artichokes and currants made their appearance in the time
of Elizabeth; but even at the end of this latter period we
had cherries from Flanders; onions, saffron, and liquorice
from Spain, and hops from the Low Countries. Potatoes,
which were first knoWn in these islands about the year 15136,
continued for nearly a century to be cultivated in gardens as a
curious exotic, and furnished a luxury only for tables of the
richest persons in the kingdom. It appears in a manuscript
account of the household expenses of Queen Ann, wife of
James 1., that the price of potatoes was then Is. the pol:nd.
