where resuming their arms now that the harvest is over, I
and that they appear ready to enter on the campaign
with spirit. Fires have again surrounded the Metidja, ,
and as letters from Algiers state, the smoke is so th►ck,
and extends so far, that the lower chain of the Atlas is
quite shut out from the view by it. A large quantity !
of forage has been again burnt close to Algiers, at
Hussein Dey. The accounts from Bona represent the
Arabs in that district as much better armed than hi-
therto, every individual having a good musket or bay-
onet, besides other arms, the whole believed to be of
English manufacture. Marshal Valee, considering the
state of things in Europe, had judged it prudent not to
keep up too many detached camps in the provinces, and
had ordered that of Kara Mustapha to be abandoned.
The number of military invalids in Algeria is estimated
at 12,000.
ITALY.—A Toulon letter states that a revolt bad
broken out at Forli, and in parts of the Romagna, as
well as at Arizona ; and that the military were called
, in to put down the movement, which was effected, but
not without bloodshed.

TREATY OF LONDON.-1 he France asserts that the
French Governm:;nt has already proposed to the Aus-
trian and Prussian Cabinets to confer with it on the new
overtures of Mehemet Ali to the Porte ; and that M.
Thicts has suggested to Prince Metternich the pro-
priety of joining France in her endeavours to resume
the initiative in an arrangement of the Eastern question,
the negotiations for which should be carried on at Vienna.
FLYING BRIDGE ON THE RHINE.—Some expe►l-
men's with. flying bridges and boats were made a few
daYs ago upon the Rhine, near Strasburg. In the first
instance a bridge of a new construction for the passage
of troops was thrown over in twenty minutes. Three
flotillas of boats, supported by a gun•boat, were next
brought forward in regular order to represent the pas-
sage and debarkation of Hoops. At the same time a
king bridge, capable of bearing 300 men, came down
the stream, and fixing its anchors in the middle, by the
mere force of the current expanded its arms, and in
three minutes reached from bank to bank. The next
experiment was with a bridge of boats, which, in an
hour and a half, would enable an army to cross a wide
river. The last experiment was an attempt to pass un-
der the bridge in very small and slight boats, so as to
defy the power of the current. Several men, after hav-
ing directed their course to the bridge, lay down in the
boats, and passed rapidly and safely under the bridge.
FRENCH MARINE —The Minister of the Marine has
given orders to French manufacturers for fourteen steam-
engines, of 450 horse power each, for the projected
Transatlantic packets. Of this number four are to be
constructed at the royal forges of Indret, ;our by M.
Cave) of Paris, three by Messrs. Schneider, of Creuzot,
and, three by M. Hallet, of Arras.

CALMS HARBOUR.—A letter from Calais states that
a brig, which had been abandoned by its crew, had
gone down off that port. It was not known to what
country it belonged. On the 19th inst., a Calais fish-
ing-boat, on entering the harbour, was struck with such
violence by the Swallow mail-packet, which was going
out, that it went down immediately. The crew es-
caped by clinging to the jetty. The inhabitants have
petitioned the King that the western jetty, against which
the Veloce struck, may bear his Majesty's r.ame ; and
the municipality have decided on having an oil-painting
executed to perpetuate the memory of the event.
ST. OMER, SEPT. 20.—Some of the troops which
arc to form our camp have arrived at their destination
last week. Besides the 4,000 mcn who have just en-
tered the camp, we are assured that 12,000 men will
be sent to it, and that in a few days tenders will be
received for the construction of 400 new barracks.—La
Gazette de France.

The Alsace (a Strasburg Journal), of the 22d,
says—" We are assured that the military division re-
ceived orders on Saturday last to have fourteen bat-
teries of artillery put on the war establishment and to
arm the fortress of Strasburg immediately.

" The letters which we receive from Rhenish Be.
veria, and the reports transmitted to us by travellers
who passed through that country a few days ago, in-
form us that the arrival of the French is expected
with impatience, and would be welcomed with enthu-
siasm., Rhenish Prussia is also most favourably dis-
posed towards France.
" Besides the contract for 15,000 horses which we
mentioned some time ago, several other contracts,
amounting altogether to 20,000 horses, have been con-
cluded in the name of the Government, which makes
the whole number of those purchased in Germany
35,000. Tnese horses will enter France, in a few days,
at St. Areaulx, Met; Haginau, and Strasburg. Com-
'missioners have been sent to those places to receive the
horses, after previous examination.—Le Constitutionnel.
The Etna steamer, which has just left Toulon for
Constantinople, with despatches brought from Paris by
estafette, is ordered to make the voyage with all pos-
sible celerity.
The Pile3ton was waiting at Toulon for despatches
for Admiral Hugon. It is armed as a war-steamer, and
,Will'remain with the squadron.
it was said 'at Toulon- that a ship of the line was to
be sent so Valencia, where tkiere alts already a French
corvette, two brigs, and a'steam-boat.
A letter from Athens says, that a million of drachma
was prepared to be sent to rance, as the first dividend
on the first part of the loan. The Ambassadors of
England and Russia having demanded the same advan-
tage, the million remains in Greece.—Le Commerce.

The Times calls on the Livery to punish Mr. Alder-
man Harmer for his want of loyalty and his want of
piety. The greatness of our Contemporary's ambition was
before known to us, and we arc not much surprised at
his desire to assume the functions of the Executive Go-
vernment, and of the Courts of Law, making the Livery
his toots to carry into execution the sentence he has
pronounced against the Alderman for disloyalty ; but
we are astounded at his attempt to assume the func-
tions of' the Almighty, and punish Mr. Alderman Har-
mer for his want of respect to God. His ambition is,
indecA, vast, and surpasses that of the Portuguese King,
who sail if he had been summoned to the councils of
the Creator he would have taught Him an improved me-
thod of making the universe. The Times would govern
it for Him, after it is made ; and as He has for.
gotten to punish Mr. Harmer for not paying Him due
respect, the Times, by the aid of the Livery, will do it
for Him.

THE " TIMES" AND MR. JOHN JOSEPH STOCK.
DALE.—The Times seems afraid to mention the name
of this gentleman, who labours so hard with them in
the cause of religion and morality. He appeared yester-
day before the Lord Mayor, and read a letter ad-
dressed to the worthy Alderman, repudiating, like his
fellow-labourer, all party or personal motives, but de-
nouncicg " the great engine," which he believed was ap-
plied to evil purposes. He felt, therefore, " justified in
exposing its tendency." The Timis omits the report
of this affair, which appears in all the other papers. It
did the satne on a similar occasion some ten days ago.
This is very unkind treatment, and Mr. Stockdale oulfht
not to submit to such an insult. We would, therefore,
recommend him to attend the Common Hall on Tues-
day, and not only claim partnership with the " Leading
Journai" in a speech, but engage one of the menem-
ployed by the " Society for :he Suppres,lon of Vice,"
to carry a placard on a pole with the words—" STOCK..
DALE AND 'rue TIMES'—DOWN WITH HARMER,"

MR. ALDERMAN HARMER.—We are happy
to learn the Freemasons are stirring themselves in favour
of their distinguished brother, Mr. Alderman Harmer,
and, that a meeting of the brethren of the mystic tie is to
be held this evening at seven o'clock, at Radley's Hotel,
Bridge-street, Blackfriirs.
At a Special Sessions held at Wakefield on
Tuesday last, Sir George Armytage, Bart., of Kirklees
