I was glad to find the French Consular Agent, M. De

. Governor of .Aden hadd-sents us,on to take; despatches
if necessary. Lieutenant Christopher came to Mas-
souah, to get details of the murder of Mr. Bayle, an
Englishman, who had perished near Gondar. The
vessel remained three days. The commander of-
fered me a passage, and I sailed with him on the
2d of July. On the 10th of the same month we
arrived at Djedda. Osman Pacha, Governor of
the Iledjaf, had, it was said, received orders to send
troops into the Yimen, and to take possession of it in
the name of his master ; but the want of money pre-
vented him from executing this project. The inha-
bitants of Djedda, and especially the merchants,
support the yoke of the Sultan with impatience,
and if they did not fear the English, they would
revolt in fey cur of the Pacha of Egypt. I met the
younger M. d'Abbadie in this town ; he had not been
able to penetrate into the interior. He had left
his brothers at Odeida, and they were to meet at
Massouah. M. d'Abbadie assured me that the English
had already taken possession of Tajoura, and that the
Governor of Aden had sent a present of cannons, and
a sum of a hundred thousand talares to the King of
Chao. The attempts of the English upon the coast of
Abyssinia show the truth of my reports respecting the
country, and belie the rumours spread by some wtao
represent this country as without resources. U`afortu-
:lately, the r.4hbourhood of the great Indus, the
taking of Aden, and the acquisition of Tejoura, enable
the English to show their flag frequently upon the Red
S,a, and give them a decided superiority over us."

THE NV ES LE YANS. ,
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Slit—l beg le %ye to call your attention, and, through
your valuable and well-conducted paper, that of the
public, to the-tyrannical and unjustifiable interference
of the:heads of the ''Wesleyan' Methodists over their
flocks. We may talk. as We' please :of the cruelty prae,
tised by the Church o( Roma over:her subjects,- but:
I very much doubt, if, in the time when her power was
almost universal, shki ever practised so much tyranny
and cruelty over her subj Jets, as that 'how practised by
the heads of the.Wesleyst'n Methodists, through. their
:modern Inquisition,--The.'Conferenee; They have pro-.
hihited their ministers front attending to, or advocating,
the cause of tet totelism, out of their own circuit. And
' they cannot do so without leave, of whom? 1 suppose
ofJabez Bunting, or some other-of their modern Popei.
Yet, these are the men who profess to have so much
anxiety for the welfare of their flocks ; who pretend to
take so much trouble to save souls. Ana not only is
their conduct Most cruel in this respect, but in others
equally so, which you will find by looking at the rules
which they passed at their I.tst Conference. What can
be more cruel tiers their conduct, with respect to the
non-attendance of their ministers at the late Manchester
Conference, to advocate the cause of the half-starving
of their flocks ? if they do not very soon alter their
conduct, methinks that the people will very soon run
away from tie Conference, and, in a few years, there
will not be left even the name of Methodist.
VERITAS.

FEVER AT MANCHESTER. •
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin—l urn somewhat surprised at the statement made
by the Right Hon. Sir R. Peel relative to the statistical
returns given to him as regards the number of patients
admitted into the fever wards of the Manchester Fever
Hospital. In the years 1837 and 1838 I acted as clinical
clerk to Dr. Bandsley, and during that time I find, on
referring to.my note-book, that I visited in' the neigh-
bourhood of Deans Gate, from November, 1837, to
April, 1638, 1,085 persons, all of whom were labouring
under typhoid fever. The result was lamentable in the
extreme, inasmuch as one in three died, and this great
mortality was solely attributable to the large numbers
that occupied small dwellings, together with the scanty
pittance that they had been compelled (according to their
own statements) to subsist upon for some time previons
to the attack. I have, during the above time, visited nei
less than ten persons in one cellar, all labouring under
the worst form of typhoid fever. They had no cover-
ing, nor yet had they a bed whereon to lie, except some
kind neighbour sent them a pair of sheets and a bundle
of straw, which to them answered every purpose of a
bed. This is one case out of many that I'Could relate,
where numbers of persons were huddled together, during
my attendance in that neighbourhood. The squalid
Wretchedness and poverty, which was the chief .charie
teristic of every house I visited, told its own tale. I hope,
Mr. Editor, you will give publicity to the above state-
ments, and when the Right Hon. Baronet at the head- of
her Majesty's Government again gives a statistical ac-
count of patients admitted, he will likewise state the num-
ber of out-patients that could not be received, within the
walls of a fever hospital.
I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant,

THE

LEIGH CONSOLIDATED
MINING COMPANY.
The annual genural meeting of the above Company
Was held yesterday at the Office, 23; Threadneedle• street,
for the purpose of receiving the Directors' Report and the
statement of the Company's accounts from the Secre-
tary.

Mr. HEYMAN took the Chair.
The SECRETARY read the advertisement, calling the
meeting together, with the minutes of the last meeting.
The CHAIRMAN then called on the Secretary to read
the Report from the direction, from which it appeared
that although not so satisfactory and encouraging
to the Shareholders as the last Report in its several
bearings,, yet there was ground lint congratulation
to the Directors. The prospective improvement bad
induced Captain Sincock, the superintendent of the
N‘orks, to recommend to the Directors the erection of a
steam whim, &c., for the more effectual prosecution of
the works. Acting upon this recommendation, the
Directors had made a call upon the shareholders of :is.
on each share, in order to carry out this recommenda-
tion, but the returns had not realised their expectations,
and they were therefore obliged to forego the advan-
tages of the proposal, and appropriate the funds so
raised to the current expenses of the mine. In June
last the mine increased in value at Christor, insomuch
that it more than paid its cost. But although the mine
was paying the cost, the Directors thought that it would
be necessary to call for a further 55.. on each share, in
order to carry into effect other improvements.
The SECRETARY then read the report of Captain Sin.
cock respecting the proceedings and working of the
mines. lie then read a balance sheet of the Company,
and it appeared that the amount paid for various pur-
poses by the Company was 7,172/. Os. 3d4 whilst the
receipts had been 7,422/. 145., leaving a surplus gain to
the Company of 2501. 13s. 9. The liabilities still out-
standing were 4371. 105. 6d., whilst the assets were

,etter from Naples gives the following ac-
count of an extrrordinary case lately brought before the
Criminal Tribunals of Sorrento and Otranto. In the
former of these towns lived a family, consisting of a
man, named Ilieronimo Pascolo, his son, Gasperino, aged
31, and Nunziata, the wife of t.Lt latter, a woman of 19,
of such rare- beauty, that several painters of Rome had
visited Sorrento for the purpose of painting her portrait,
and introducing it into altar-pieces for the churches.
These three persons were living in great harmony,
until a friend of the husband insinuated that Nunziata
was faithless. Gasperino r.-solved upon ascertaining
the truth or falsehood of this charge, the denun-
ciator having been unable or unwilling to point out
the • party for whom the wife had sacrificed her
honour, pretended that he was going on a journey-
for several days, and secreting himself when his
wife imagined that he was absent, entered her bed-
chamber at night. Here he saw Nunziata in a sleep,
which appeared to him to be that of innocence, and he
was about to retire, all doubt and jealousy removed,
when she suddenly awoke, and left her bed. The hus-
band placed himself in such a situation as not to be seen
by his wife; and watched her movements. She left the
room, followed by Gasperino, grasping his dagger
and entered the bed-room of her -father-in-law. Gas-
perino, convinced by what he had witnessed, that
his own father was the criminal who had poisoned
his domestic peace, rushed upon the guilty pair
and stabbed them both. The father died im-
mediately, and Nunziata, gave no sign of life.
Gasperinu then went and delivered himself up to
the officers of justice, avowing what he had done. lie
was tried by the Criminal Tribunal of Sorrento, and con-
demned to death on the ground that he had acted with
premeditation, although the wife, who had recovered
from her wounds, admitted her criminality, and de-
clared that she had merely married the son in order that
she might have more frequent opportunities of inter-
cOurse with the father, with whom she was ie. love. On
a 4 appeal to the Supreme Court of Naples the sentence
of the Criminal Tribunal of Sorrento was confirmed, but
the law officers of the Crown took some legal objections,
and demanded that both decisions might be reversed, and
a new trial granted. This was done, and Gasperino
being brought before the Tribunal of Otranto, was ac-
quitted. We are informed, however, that his mind had
received too severe a shock for him again to renew his
relations with the world, and that he has entered a con-
vent of Trappists, with the intention of devoting the
remainder of his life to prayer.
A law exists in the s:ate of New Hampshire, in
America, under which any woman from another
state or country, who has lived two years within
New Hampshire, and has not been claimed by
her husband, has a right to a decree of di-
vorce. A young lady, native of New York, has recently
availed herself of this privilege. She was married to
the Count de Ilauteville, a Frenchman, hut, being dis-
contented with her lot, fled into New Hampshire, and
hiving remained thstro the stipulated time unmolested,
obtained her divorce, and with it the right .of keeping
hey child, the fruit of her marriage: '
The Handelsblad of Amsterdtim!:says,, In

In the small town of Puy Latirensitti the Tarn,
is a young man so decidedly lunatic that, though convicted
of robbing a church; he was discharged; and' suffered to-
Ketuain at liberty. He has always shown un antipathy to
Children, and has become their terror. A few days ago,
while standing near a public fountain, a little girl, who did
not know him, came to fill her pitcher. The insane youth
accosted her kindly, and said that if she rested in a certain
manner on the iron rail whichwas round the tank, she would
fill her vessel more easily and more safely. The poor girl
did as he advised-IMt while she was stooping, he
suddenly seized her, threw her over into the water, and
walked away. Fortunately another man came to the
fountain in time to draw her out before life was extinct,
though she is in much danger. The mischievous madman,
is in custody.
A young man timed Bertin, of Doncourt aux
Templiers, in the Meuse, sought a young woman
of, that place in marriage, but her parents per-
emptorily refused their consent, although the at-
tachment was mutual. Yielding to the violent feel-
ing thus excited, he prevailed upon his sweetheart
to give • him a rendezvous in a neighbouring wood,
where he, immediately on her approaching, shot her
with a gun, and killed her instantaneously. Taking up
the lifeless and disfigured body, he carried it home to
the poor girl's mother, and, laying it • down at her feet,
said, " There's your daughter ; marry her to whom you
will !" He then fled, and has not since been seen.

DEATH OF MP.. FRASE Wt.=
Ir.—The publisher of
Fraser's Magazine died an S"..turday last, after a pro-
tracted illness, brought on., as it is supposed, by the at-
tack of Mr. G. Berkeley.. Literature has thus lost an
earnest supporter, liter,ry men a generous patron, and
a large circle of frist.uls one beloved as a very brother.
It is often true }'fiat an intimate acquaintance, by
unveiling defect's of character, weakens the reve-
rence, respect, and esteem first felt. This did not apply
to Mr. Frasr..r. One learned slowly but surely to love
him, and t.iey who knew him best, loved'him most. His
fine taste, his ardent attachment to literary pursuits. and
his sacrifices h the sere ice he loved, endeared him to
the most dif,tinguished literati of the age. His unfeigned
faith, IP:anility, and trne Christian conduct, exemplified
in triutic life, and Tet more richly developed on a death-
bed, showed that the loss of many is indeed the gain
of one.

THE CLIMAX OF THE ALDERMAN'S DIS-
CRACE.—During the past week, the coat of arms of Ald

recollection of his political tergiversation, and that cannot
be forgotten.—Sunderland Herald.

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.—In the first class
carriage, next to the engine of the train to which the
accident happened on the Brighton Railway, on Satur-
day, with only one second class carriage intervening,
were two ladies and a gentleman, who, with others in the
same carriage, escaped without the slightest injury, al-
though the carriage was smashed nearly to pieces, and
one of the ladies had her veil and clothes cut into shreds.

ST. PETERSBURGII,' SEPT 24.—The Impe-
rial Standard on the Aviuter palace announced to-day to
the inhabitants of ,th4jcapital, that his Majesty the Em-
peror has returned from his journey to Warsaw.
We are informed that the Brougham, which
sailed on Saturday-With the Now Zealand Company's se-
cond staff of
.surveyors for Port Nicholson, passed the
Downs on Sunday with a fair wind and cheering pros-
pects. It carries outs principal engineer and two assist-
ants, accompanied by their wives ; alSo ten cadet engi-
neers. The Brougham is accompanied by a transport,
carrying 300 emigrants, Men, women, and children.

A few evenings ago groans were heard in a
house which is building in the hue d'Arcole, and, on
entering it a well-dressed young man was found with five
wounds in different parts of his body, inflicted with a knife.
He refused to give his name or his residence, or to reveal
who were his assassins. On Thursday morning this young
man, who had been removed to the Hotel Dieu, where he
maintained the same reserve, expired. The account of
the affair having become known, and a young man, who
had recently succeeded to a handsome fortune,
being missed, several persons . went to the Hotel
Dieu, and recognised the body to be that of
the missing person, -whose name and address they
gave ; adding also some information, from which it
would appear that on the night of the murder he had a
large sum about him, and must have given a rendezvous
at the spot where he was found, from a horrible propen-
sity of which he was already suspected by those who
knew him.

LONGEVITY.—There is now, living at White-
parish, nalr this city, a woman named Heath, who has
attained the age of 106 years. She is in good health,
and retains her faculties. Her daughter has lately been
on a visit to see her ; the two number nearly 200 years,
the daughter being considerably more than 80 years of
age. The elder dame is'comfortably provided for by the
lady of a Magistrate in the parish, and expresses her
gratitude in warm terms for being enabled to live out of
the Union, of which she has great horror ; as her own
words plainly but emphatically prove—" I would rather
lie down and die out of door, than go into one of them
Unions."—Salisbury Herald.

SABBATH OBSERVANCE.—We learn that a
meeting of the subscribers to the Tontine News-room is
to be held on Wednesday evening, for the purpose of
considering and deciding upon the propriety of shut-
ting up that establishment during the whole of Sun-
day. We trust that there will be a full. muster of
the subscribers who are not bit with the intolerant
spirit of fanaticism now abroad, for the purpose of
signally defeating this attempt, ,:lf;fsuccessful in .the
east end of the town, of course it will next be tried to
shut up the Royal Exchange Room also. The proprietors
however, had better take care of lending a•toCi ready ear
to any such proposal, as, if carried into
from what we have heard, inevitably lead put Jarge seces-
sion on the part of the subscribers. -Neither the Ex-
•:hange nor Tontine Reading-rooms need' 'be matter of
offence to those who do not frequent, them—no man is
compelled against his inclination to enter their door—
and we would therefOre recommend those who disapprove
of their being open to mind their own affairs, and leave
others to do the same.— Glasgow Argus.
EDINBURGH, OCT. 4.—Early on Saturday
forenoon, the Castle esplanade exhibited an appearance
of unusual stir, in consequence of its being rumoured
that a soldier belonging to the 53d Regiment was to be
drummed out for stealing. About eleven o'clock the re-
giment marched down to the esplanade, and drew up in
line, in the centre of which the culprit was stationed,
when in presence of all his comrades, his facings, but-
tons, and every thing which related to the regiment were
cut off by the sergeant-major, who also stamped upon
his knapsack in large letters the word " thief." --Teem-
plete the degrading spectacle, the delinquent was then
marched round the regiment, and after thesprescribed
forms were gone through, he was then allowed to depart.
Before quitting the espianide he took off his jacket
and
knapsack, and threw them back in the direction of the
regiment ;• they were got hold of by some boys, who
soon' tore them in shreds. The offender had been con-

FEELING TOWARDS LORD MORPATH IN
IRELAND.—The progress of this estimable Nobleman
through the province of Leinster has been one continued
triumph. Addresses have been presented to him from
nearly all the principal towns,in,the county, of Wexford.
Oh 11'ednesday last the people of Ross met his Lord-
ship at Mount Garret Bridge, about a mile from the town.
" Shortly after three o'clock," says the Wexford Inde-
pendent, " a hearty cheer from the county Kilkenny
side announced his Lordship's approach, which was re-
sponded and re-echoed by the multitude at the county
Wexford side of the bridge. The bands ther. struck up
' See the conquering hero comes,' and the vast procession
advanced at a quick step; and though the rain was inces-
sant, and flooded the roads, still the bands played with-
out intermission till the procession arrived in front of
Shanahan's hotel. By this time there could not be
less than ten thousand persons present,

his Lordship would have been greeted by the cheers of

hotels and was ushered into the great room by the Messrs.,
Talbot, OTer4'4.ll, &c. Mr. O'Ferrall instantly raised,
