SETTLEMENT OF THE EASTERN

QUESTION.

PROCLAMATION BY THE SUBLIME PORTE.
o It has been announced, in No. 216 of the Official Gazelle,
that Mehemet Ali had offered his submission to the Sultan.
His Highness, with that goodness, proofs of which be never,
refused giving to the Pacha, sent Atasloum Bey, Member of
the Supreme Council, with a Government steamer, to sironlY
to the Pacha, that if his submission was real and immediate'
his Highness would deign to confirm him in the governaleb
of Egypt.
" Yaver Pacha, invested with powers to receive the fleet,
accompanied Masloum Bey.
" They proceeded to Alexandria, and full explanation was
given to Mehemet Ali Pacha, in a despatch addressed to Ili°
by the Grand Vizier.
" The Viceroy, agreeable to his engagetent, consigned the
fleet v t Masloum e and Yaver Paell the day after the'r
arrivao er l
; heo then despatched the necessary a written orders fel
delivering up the ho:y cities to the Turkish authorities, and
furnished every means in his power to make the fleet leave the
port of Alexandria within the allotted time. Ibrahim Paella,
on his side, has also totally evacuated Syria.
" These facts having been make known to his Highness on
the return of Maslcium Bey, and Meheinet Ali Pacha havleg,
renewed in his reply to the Grand Vizier in the s.rongest anu
most solemn manner the assurance of his submission and 010::
dience, the moment for the execution of the promises of his
Highness has arrived. This ready compliance with the order:
of Ins Sotereign relative to what was agreed on llay
bean satisfactory to his Highness, who takes delight to
giving proofs of the kindness of his disposition hi
treating all his servants with proper consideration, and who'
considering past circumstances as hating never- existed, bar
deigned to grant a generous pardon to Mehemet Ali Paella, le
well as to his whole family, servants, and adherents; and,
siring that the effects of his clemency should extend even to-ate
children, his Majesty the Sultan has been pleased to confer on
the said Pacha the government of Egypt for him and his helve'
" However, as the grant of this heirship must naturally b•
subject to certain indispensable conditions, and as the Sultan,
the Governor, no less than the inhabitants of Egypt, bAng
st.ll the subjects of the Sublime Porte, must still continue he
watch over the tranquillity and welfare of that G overnment,h e has
thought fit to adopt just and proper measures to attain that ea'
These essential conditions, and all the causes arising there-
from, have been decided, and, with the help of the IMet
High, within a few days an Envoy froth the Sublime Porte
will be charged with the execution of the resolutions adniltrd
on the subject.
" The Egyptian question having been happily terminated'
the Imprial fleet is now performing quarantine in Marmoriee
Bay, and will proceed hither with the first fair wind, as soon as
that ceremony, which is almost over, shall be terminated.
" 1 his affair having been, to a certain degree, a cause 01
uneasiness for some time past, the present Proclamation has
issued, in order to inform the public that the affair
been arranged in a suitable manner.

THE LATE FIRE AT WYN.YAIip

HOUSE.

---
Immediately on the arrival cf Lord Seaham at Wynyard,
hursday last, an investigation was instituted for the purpose,.
of ascertaining the true cause of die destruction of that ancree'
and prince'y. mansion. The head gardener, it seems, had the
fires alight in the conservatory or, the day previous but a°
more so than ritual, and at the time of leaving the 'buildiflg
there were no indica'ions of a fire raging in the flues.
On Friday last Lord Seaham, with several gentlemen, went.
over the ruins and examined the walls of the chapel and Or
servatory, in the hopes of discovei ing some proof of the reel°
origin of the fire ; but none could be found. ll,s LordshiP'
however, learnt that a short time since one of the flues eon'
netted with the conservatory was either cut into or blocked UP
to admit of the alterations in the chapel, and the general ifil
pressiun entertained is that some tinicer had been felt exposed
in the flue, and had caught fire by tho action of the heat frog
the furnaces under the conservatory, and had smouldered untu
reaching the rafters that supported the gallery near the orgel
loft, and then burst in flames. The destruction of Camberwe
old church some few weeks back was under precisely similar
c:rcumstances.
The amount of property destroyed is estimated at Letwegil
100,0001. aid 150,0001., and we hear that it will be a total
loss to his Lordship, he being, it is stated, wholly uninsured-'
The fact, however, cannot be precisely known until his Lora:
ship's return to England, which is expected in the latter en?,
of the present month. Some idea may be furmed of the
ex-
tent of the mansion from the following description :—The
tut e gallery was 145 ft et long and 60 feet in breadth, and uPi
wards of 40 feet in height ; the principal dining-room was 5,,e
feet in length, '2O feet in depth, and Z-0 in height ; the lar
drawing-room was 60 feet long, 56 in breadth, and 28
high ; and the second drawing-room was about the saP
dimensions. The different apartments mere most gorgel';
fitted up. The decorations alone cost 40,0001. Among l ;
choice exotics that were it, the conservatory, and which le pe
sacrifice to the flames,_ were several splendid orange trees, 0,,°"„

chioness a few years ago.

THE COMMISSIOIIERSHIPOF THE CITY
POLICE.—We are authorised to contradict in the most
quallital manner, the report thr.t M-. D. W. Haney wt •
about to te:ign the office of Commissioner of the C'ti
Police, and to stata that Mr. Harvey never contemplat'-
such a thing as the. resigns Lion of the office. It has bt-
come necessary ti make tt.,is statement from authority, as
several gaatlemen have been t ansas:ing.very acthely fit

The Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital hal
determined to "remove," alias abolish, the female svh9°
attached to that hospital. No doubt the.e are good 06"
sons for so doing. A circular letter has been sent to als •
parents or rela'ives of the children, requiring theta t2'
state it they are willing to withdraw the child nagss
therein on receiving the sum of 121. a year for the time 1,"„..;
girl wculd be allowed to remain in the school, and give 7,„
undertaking that she shall be sent to a school in the nog
bourhood of her residence. This wo consider a leifsn'i
liberal allowance and proper regulation ; for the fieuv",,
charges of a child of a sailer or marine would probably
not cost more than 40s. a year, and the rest of the Moil
will go towards food and raiment. Wheie a girl vlOul„
be entitled to be in the school four years, this allowanc:
will he a great boon. In the circular it does not, bore!"
say what will he done with the child if the offer of 124 $
year is not accepted.— United Service Gazette.
THE BOOK WITHOUT A NAME.—There ores
few books which appeal so effectually to all tastes as Tae Sir Charles and Lady Morgan—oddly entitled
Book without a Name 1" The lovers of good eating wl f
find their favourite subject discussed with the research °
a scholar, and the spirit of a gourmand. To those who
delight in pictures of society, the work offers the amusioi
Memoirs of the late Dowager Lady Cock's celebrated
Macaw, and several other " bits"' equally entertainieg!
whilst such as find peculiar attraction in subjects of "tie
quarian interest may turn to several chapters wherein sou:
of the most attrac:ive are presented to the reader replete
with the most valuable historical illustrations. In sltri;
these clever writers seem desirous of proving not only Iv
readily they can turn " from grave to gay, from live
to severe," but how pleasaotly they can make their I;r'"'''
vity gay, and their severity vely. The reader will b°
sure to find in the volumes a great fund of ammiernent..
