CAPTAIN PARRY'S EXPEDITION.

Letters from Captain PARRY were received
this day, dated the 2d July, at the entrance to
Barrow's Straits—all well, and full of sanguine

expectations.

A letter from Zante, of the 21st of June,
states, that an act of treason had occurred at
Missolonghi, which at one time threatened the
most dangerous consequences. It appears that
Caralcystos, one of the Governors of the city,
had agreed to deliver it up to Jussuf Paclia, who
was to march 3,000 Turks towards the fortress.
Ihe correspondence containing the plot was
"ized by a post of Greeks, and forwarded to
Prince Nllivrocordato, who took measures to pre-
vent its execution. The Turks marched, but
were met and defeated, and Caralcystos is stated
to have been put in irons.

the King of ENGLAND, bus shown a remarkable

guineas. He three times presided over concerts
for the Prince, for which his Highness sent him
500 guineas and a diamond pin.—(French
Paper.)
HIS GRACE THE ARCHBISHOP OP DUBLIN.—In
answer to the inquiries at the Palace yesterday
(Thursday, 29th ult.) it was stated that the
Archbishop had passed a feverish night, but was
much easier yesterday, and, on the whole, was
in as fair a way of recovery as the nature of in-
jury he had sustained would admit of.—(Dublin
Freeman's Journal.)
'SWITZERLAND, JULY 20.—We lately mentioned the
danger with which•an apprehended fall of part of a mountain
Threatened the valley of Lowertz, in the Canton of Schuytz.—
The latest accounts serve to confirm these fears. This time
also it is a part of the Rufsberg which is on the point of
falling ; large rents are observed in it, and within a few days
they have begun to spread, and a part of the mountain already
begins to detach itself. The fall will probably take place in
the direction of the village of Golden. Several of the stran-
gers who are now travelling through Switzerland, have ar-
rived in the neighbourhood of Goldau to witness the fall of the
mountain. _ _

By a letter received from the Island of Ascen-
sion, dated the 31st of May, the Garrison were
all well, and Lieutenant AITCHESON, of the
Marine Artillery, who, on hearing of the late
disastrous affair at Cape Coast, had handsomely
volunteered his services, was to sail that day, with
a detachment of that corps, on board H. M. sloop
Victor, Capt. SCOTT, for Cape Coast.
A letter from the West Riding of Yorkshire
says—" The Corn harvest has already begun. A
fine field of oats was cut a few days ago between
llowden and Selby; and every where, in fact,
the Corn crops are advancing rapidly towards
muturity ; the wheat in particular seems to be
much benefited by the sine summer weather,
which is quite of the old-fashioned kind. The
Hay crop has been gathered in such excellent
condition that it will yield double the nutriment
of the same quantity of hay in a rainy season."
An intelligent Lecturer lately stated, that he
had good reason to believe, that at this time
12,000 steam engines are in activity in Great
Britain.

LARMING FlRE.—Between the hours of one
and two o'clock this morning, the neighbourhood
of Union-street, Southwark, was thrown into
considerable alarm in consequence of a fire
breaking out in the house of Mr. lloncEs, an oil
and colourman, which proceeded from the lower
part of the premises, and burnt with such rapidity,
that the inmates had scarcely time to get out of
the destructive dwelling, before the whole was
one entire blaze. The flames next communicated
to the house of a grocer, named Dobbison, owing
to there being no party wall, which also fell a
prey to the devouring element. A number of en-
gines speedily arrived on the spot, but owing to
a scarcity of water, the two houses were com-
iiietely gutted before the devastation subsided.
We are happy to state, no lives were lost. The
premises are insured in the County Fire Office.
