Tile LORD CHANCELLORpa;e judgment in this case,
which was argued before the Court scmc time since upon
appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vice Chan-
cellor. The question in the case was whether under the
Act of Wiliiam IV. the Corporation of Boston had the
power to appropriate the surplus fund arising from the
tolls taken on the Witham and the Weiland livers to the
improvement of the port of Boston. The Vice Chan-
cellor decided that they had not, and from that decision
the present appeal was brought. His Lordship was clearl)
of opinion that the judgment below was correct, and dis-
missed the appeal, but without costs.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLIS, JAN. ;.—Paver Pacha (Captain
Walker) and Mazlourn Bey did not take their passage to
Alexandria by the Stromboli, a; it was originally intended
they should, but in the Turkish steamer Iscutar, which
only left Constantinople last Monday, the 33 inst. The
mission is, in other respects, the same in all particulars as
that announced in my last letter; and the answer they
take to the pacific overtures of Mehemet Ali—of the eva-
sive and unsatisfactory nature already described, being
confined to a promise, in the event of his unconditional sub-
mission, and the immediate restitution of the fleet, of the
Pachalic of Egypt—to be held by the same tenure as
that of any other province of the empire. The re-
sult of such a proposition may be easily anticipated ;
indeed, the Porte itself, in making it, can have
no serious expectation of its being accepted. Its
only object is to gain time, under the hope that fur-
ther successes in Syria may so decidedly establish its
superiority, that it may dictate its own terms, and, if
necessary, coerce and depose Mehemet Ali without any
assistance from its Allies. If the Four Powers were really
sincere in their recommendation with respect to the here-
ditary government of Egypt, it was the height of absurdity
to make it optional with the Porte to accept or ri jest it.
But this independent action in a question in which it was
dependent from the beginning on the,co-operation of the
Four Powers, and must, as a necessary consequence, be
governed by their views as to its solution, is a fiction too
gross to impose upon anybody.
JANUARY B.—The Tahiri Bahiri (Turkish steam-boat)
has just arrived from Syria. She is still in quarantine;
but the news said to have been brought by her is important
and somewhat extraordinary. Zaehariah Pacha, aho had
been appinted to the government of Syria in the place of
' Izzct Pacha, bad advanced from Aleppo with only about a
thousand men, in order to profit by the disaffection of the
people of Damascus towards Mehemet Ali. He is re-
ported to have been there taken and decapitated by Ibra-
him Pacha. Some reports state that it was Sherif Pacha,
the Governor of Damascus, and others Reschid Mehemet
Pacha, the bearer of the Sultan's finnan to Ibrahim Pacha,
who has been put to death,by the hand, it is added, of Ibrahim
himself, while reading the firman. It is further stated that
the Egyptian army had subsequently retreated to the de-
sert, in the direction of Al- Arish.
A letter from Samos, under date of the 31st of Decem-
ber, informs us that the whole island is in open insurrection
against the Porte. It said to have been fomented lay
emissaries from Greece.

THE LATE DR. GILCIII)111.

're Journal des Debate announces with a well_
merited tribute to his memory, the death, on the 9th
in,tant, of Dr. Gilchrist, the well-known
who Lad, for the last few years, resided in Paris. Dr.
Gilchrist was a native of Edinhureh, where he was
:•ero ,;n the 19th of June, 1759, itu,t was consequently
er the eighty-second year of his age. After com-
pleting his studies, he resided for several years in
the island of Grenada, from whence he returned to
his native city, and soon after went to Calcutta,
in the medical service of the East India Company.
There, he devoted himself to the study of the Orien-
tal languages ; and was one of the first Europeans
who recognized the importance of the Hindostanee
tongue, in transactions with the natives, and set
methodically about acquiring it. Till his day, the
officers of the Company had been content with a
slight knowledge of Persian, in which language the
acts of the Government, as well as the proceedings
of the tribunals, were at that time registered. The
popular tongue was believed to b 3 a mere jargon,
and neglected accordingly. Satisfied of the benefits
to be derived to the natives in their intercourse with
Europeans by popularizing their language among the
latter, he devoted some years to this labour of love.
Habited in the Oriental garb, and accompanied by
learned rnoonshees, he visited those parts of India
in which the Hindostanee is spoken most purely ;
and, by conversing with the best-edue..t d amongst
the natives, acquired all the idioms and refinements
of the language. The earliest conspicuous result of
these labours was the first volume of his Anglo-Hin-
&stance Dictionary, which appeared in 1786, and was
followed by the second in 1790. To these, in 1796,
succeeded his Hindostanee Grammar. He edited,
besides, several Hindostanee works, caused nume-
rous manuscript copies to be made of others, and
continued, more and more, to facilitate the study
of the language, by the publication of elementary
works. The Marquis Wellesley, then Governor-
General of India, munificently aided and encouraged
the researches of Dr. Gilchrist ; and when the former
founded the College of Calcutta, the latter was at-
tached to it, as Professor of Hindostanee and Persian.
After having discharged these functions during four
years, the state of the Doctor's health compelled him
to return to Europe, in ISO 4. For many years after-
wards he continued, first in Edinburgh and then in
London, to deliver fratuitous courses of lectures on the
Hindostanee tongue—to publish new works on the sub-
ject—and to revise and reprint his old ones. These
active occupations ceased only at the bidding of age and
its infirmities.

EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, JAN. 6.—The decade, or lapse of ten
days, which has just elapsed, has caused no alteration in
the situation which was given by our last letter.
The steamer only arrived to-day, without bringing the
European main, which has no doubt been delayed by the
bad weather, for it had not arrived at Syra on the 2d inst.
It appears that there is confidence in the judgment of
the Powers, and business is resumed as if everything was
at an end, but at the same time every one approves of

Mehemet Ali assuming a military attitude, in order not to
find himself at the mercy of his enemies. The Stromboli
steamer, which is to bring to Egypt the Turkish officers
who are to take the command of the fleet, has not yet ap-
peared. The return of the British Consul-General had
been prematurely announced. A letter from M. Laurin,
Austrian Consul• General in Egypt, at present at Con-
stantinople, expresses an opinion that the agents of the
Four Powers Kill not re:uru to their posts till after the
definite solution of all the points that are contested.
The Europeans are very uneasy about •,hc Asiatic epi-
demic which has just broken out in our city. Mehemet
Ali held a grand Council, in order to adopt all the fleece-
sarymeasures to avert the evil.

The Government has just made known that the city is
stocked with 130,000 addeps of corn, which are ready to
be sold, besides 2,500 bales of cotton, and a small quan-
tity of other provisions. The vessels schich come here are
therefore sure of freights.

i A letter written by a person rather hostile to the Egyp-
tians states that Ibrahim Dacha has united 25,000 men of
regular troops, and considers that be has a like number of
irregular ones, which would make his army amount to
50,000 men. According to advices from all quarters,
anarchy is stated to be at its highest in the interior.
Letters from Cairo of the 3d of January state that the
most perfect tranquillity prevailed, but that the roads in
Upper Egypt were infested with Bedouins. Every Eng-
lish traveller going to Suez is escorted by a troop of Be-
douin horsemen in Mehemet Ali's pay, and now there is
no escort of less than 40 men.

Varin 14ey, the Commander of the Cavalry School, has
just written that as soon as security is re-established in the

country, he will endeavour to rejoin Ibrahim Pacha.
has got together the remains of three regiments, one o
which is of cavalry the whole amounting to about 600 men.
M. Pajot and his cousin have just arrived from Abvssi
nia, having come from Bordeaux with a cargo of merchan,
disc which M. Coombes had pointed out as suitable for th,
country. The speculation %Vali a failure.

RAILWAY BETWEEN ENGLAND AND
SCOTLAND.

On Friday the Ist current, Sir Frederick Smith
went by Hamilton to Lacark, and on the 2d he went
by one of our railways to Airdrie, on the opposite bank
of Clyde, and this week he was to be again at Lanark.
When the inspection is completed, Sir Frederick will
then have before him the whole four lines, the merits of
each of which arc strongly advocated by their respective
supporters.
1. The East line, from Edinburgh, by Dunhzr, and
Berwick, to Newcastle, which its supporters hold as the
best line between the two capitals, London and Edinburgh.
2. The East Midland line, from Edinburgh, by Gala-
shiels, through Roxbuighshire and the North Tyne, join-
ing the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway at Htxham, about
forty miles from Carlisle. This is held out as giving
Edinburgh the advantage of communication both to Lon-
don by Newcastle, and to Liverpool and Manchester by
Carlisle.

3. The West Midland line, from Carlisle by Beatock,
through Clydesdale, to Edinburgh and Glasgow, by two
diverging lines of thirty miles each, from Symington in
this county, or a point on the Clyde above ;Lanark. This
is strongly advocated, as giving the nearest communication
from both Edinburgh and Glasgow to London, as well as
the West of England, with the advantage of accomplish-
ing this for the greatest part of the way by only one line.
This line Is reported as the best by Mr. Locke ; and it
may be worthy of remark, that it appears to have been by
this line, and also from a similar point of divergence, that
the Roman armies marched from England to the East and
West of Scotland. And from near the same Roman sta-
tion diverges the great Parliamentary road executed by the
late Mr. Telford, under the Government Comm ssioners
for improving the communication between England and
Stirling, or the North of Scotland.
4, The Westmost line, from Carlisle by Dumfries,
Sanguliar, and Ayrshire to Glasgow. This is held out
to be the best communication from Glasgow to all Eng-
land, by the report of Mr. Miller, engineer.
The line from Edinburgh to Symington, running on
the north of the Pentland range, is considered a much
easier line, and through a much more productive dis-
trict, than the one previously surveyed to Edinburgh,
by Linton, on the south of the Pentlands ; but the
point of divergence, we believe, commands both sides
of that range as well as both sides of the Clyde. Sir
Frederick, we have also reason to understand, was sa-
tisfied with the field plans submitted to hina by the gen-
tlemen interested in the Eastern line; and was sur-
prised, after the long period elapsing since his appoint-
ment, that neither of the Nithsdale nor the Annandale
and Clydesdale lines had been sufficiently mapped or
delineated ; and this circumstance may, perhaps, ac-
count for the rumoured decision in favour of the East
liuc.—Glasgow Herald.

FINE ARTS.

BRITISH INSTITUTION.
There are several excellent pictures in this ex-
hibition, not a few indifferent ones, and two or
three little better than mere daubs. Sorry are
we that we must number Mr. Turner among the
daubers; but what in justice can be said in praise
of his picture (No. 104) entitled " Snow-storm,
Avalanche, and Inundation in the Alps," where
the colouring seems laid on hap-hazard, without
the slightest regard to truth or propriety of effect,
and the spectator is absolutely puzzled to make
out what on earth he is looking at? No. 112,
" Blue Lights to warn Steam-boats of Shoal-
water," by the same artist, is a little—and but a
little better. Mr. Turner should beware how he
perils his reputation by indulging in such caprices
of art as those we have just alluded to. He is a
triumphant master of colouring when he pleases,
and in his earlier and better days produced some
landscapes, chiefly Italian, worthy to vie with
any that modern times have witnessed; but •
whether success has spoiled him, or he has be-
come
utterly indifferent to fame, we know not,
but certainly some of his recent pictures have
been remarkable for nothing so much as fantastic
absurdity. As for the fine poetic fancy that he
once infused into his productions, of late years
we have been unable to detect even a glimmer-
ing of it. No. 159, "Eagle and Black Cock in a
Highland Glen" is from the pencil of Lee, one of
the chastest and most spirited artists of the
day, and who, we are glad to see has lately
been made an Academician. The figure of
the royal bird is drawn with great freedom
and vigour of expression, and the wild, misty
character of the narrow mountain glen, with the
foaming stream leaping from rock to rock in the
midst of it, and sending up its showers of spray
on all sides, is truthfully and forcibly sketched.
No. 230, " Hampton Ferry, Middlesex, with the
Bell Inn," is an agreeable sylvan scene, by
Mrs. Arnold, painted with much of the natural
simplicity of Gainsborough. No. 240, " The Eve
of the Deluge," is by Martin, but certainly not
in his most impressive manner, for in the first
place, it is too stiff and formal in style ; and
secondly, -it does not convey the idea which
the artist would wish to express. No. 310, "A
Frolic," is one of Knight's lively, unexaggerated
delineations of English domestic life. The
figure and face of the naked little boy, whan
his young brother is drenching with water,
scooped up in the hollow of his hand from the
wash-tub, are full of appropriate expression.
No. 341, " Napoleon Bonaparte in the prison
of Nice," contains one striking figure, that of
the young hero and future Consul and Em-
peror, who is painted with strict regard to the
exact descriptions that the Duchess D'Abrantes
has given of him in his younger and obscurer
days. No. 350, " Statues of the Vocal Mem-
non on the Plain of Thebes," is one of Roberts's
fine Oriental sketches. The perspective is ad-
mirably defined. Altogether the collection may
be pronouncedneitherbetter nor worse than usual.

THE LATE DR. GILCHRIST

_
The Journal des Debuts announces with a well-
merited tribute to his memory, the death, on the 9th
instant, of Dr. Gilchrist, the well-known Orientalist,
who had, for the last few years, resided in Paris. Dr.
Gilchrist was a native of Edinburgh, where he was
born on the 19th of June, 1759, and was consequently
in the eighty-second year of his age. After corn•
pleting his studies, he resided for several years in
the island of Grenada, from whence he returned to
his native city, and soon after went to Calcutta,
in the medical service of the East India Company.
There, be devoted himself to the study of the Orien-
tal languages ; and was one of the first Europeans
who recognized the importance of the Hindostanee
tongue, in transactions with the natives, and set
methodically about acquiring it. Till his day, the
otileers of the Company had been content with a
slight knowledge of Persian, in which language the
acts of the Government, as well as the proceedings
of the tribunals, were at that time registered. The
popular tongue was believed to be a mere jargon,
and neglected accordingly. Satisfied of the benefits
to be derived to the natives in their intercourse with
Europeans by popularizing their language among the
latter, he devoted some years to this labour of love.
Ilaiiited in the Oriental garb, and accompanied by
learned moonshecs, he visited those parts of India
in which the Hindostanee is spoken most purely ;
an], by conversing with the best-educated amongst
the natives, acquired al! the idioms and refinements
of the language. The earliest conspicuous result of
these labours was the first volume of his Anglo-Hin-
dostanee Dictionary, which appeared in 1786, and was
followed by the second in 1790. To these, in 1796,
succeeded his Hindostanee Grammar. He edited,
besides, several Ilindostanee works, caused nume-
rous manuscript copies to be made of others, and
continued, snore and more, to facilitate. the study
of the language, by the publication of elementary
works. The Marquis Wellesley, then Governor-
General of India, munificently aided and encouraged
the researches of Dr. Gilchrist ; and when the former
founded the College of Calcutta, the latter was at-
tached to it, as Professor of Hindostanee and Persian.
After liaviag discharged these functions during four
year:;, the state of the Doctor's health compelled him
to return to Europe, in 1804. For many years after-
wards he continued, first in Edinburgh and then in
London, to deliver gratuitous courses of lectures on the
Ilindostanee tongue—to publish new works on the sub-
ject--and to revise and reprint his old ones. These
active occupations ceased only at the bidding of age and
its infirmities.

TEA MARKET.

The prices of Free Trade were little changed, while Com-
pany's Congou advanced from ls. *l. to ls. 5.?,d. per lb. cash,
with a firm market. The transactions, however, were of a
limited character.

TALLOW MARKET.
The demand for Russian Tallow dull, and the trade appears
to supply their wants with town Tallow, which is now compa-
ratively the cheapest. The price of p. Y. Candles iv, how-
ever, still kept up-465. 6d. on the spot.

The Jersey Gazette of Tuesday last publishes the fol-
loning —" We are g!ad to inform our readers that the
Feer.ch Post-office is reestablished; since its temporary
abrogation the annoyance and losses suffered by persons
who have commercial relations with France, were
quite intolerable; letters were frequently one week
at the General Post. Office before being delivered.
We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's

BOURSE OF AMSTERDANI, JAN. 29.—The Bourse was
weak to-day, and the prices in general were lower. The
Integrals fell to 498 ; the Actions of the Society of Com-
merce also lower to 1691. Ardoin's Spanish was offered
22 9-16; Coupons were also less sought after at 20i.
Accounts received from Naples of the 12th January
state that a violent shock of an earthquake took place at
Reggio during the night of the 4th inst., which caused
great ravage. The palace of the Intendant, that of Jus-
tice, and the cuisine of San Agostino, with the prison San
Francino, as well as the residence of the Governor of the
province, were in ccmplete ruins. Several private houses
were thrown down. The inhabitants took refuge in the
wintry, where they built huts. It was also felt at .Iles.
situ, where it must have done some damage; we are not
yet in possession of the details.
Our chief arrival this morning is from the United States,
bringing very unfavourable accounts respecting the United
States Bank, which caused a great panic at New York,
and it was doubtful whether it would resume payments.
This is certainly an unfortunate event for the shareholders
in this country, who hold them to a large amount. Not
being in possession as yet of the American papers, we
cannot give any further particulars on the subject.

MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE.

The English Opera House will be opened early in
March, by an operatic company, consisting of Messrs.
Balfe, Wilson, Barker, Stretton, Phillips, Madame
B tile, Miss Macmahon, &c. Leader of the orchestra,
Mr. T. Cooke.

Liszt has met with a splendid reception at Edinburgh
and Glasgow, where his performances on the pianoforte
have been applauded with enthusiasm. His coadjutors,
Miss Steele, Miss Bassano, Richardson, Lavenu, and
John Parry, have succeeded in affording the highest
gratification to numerous and brilliant audiences. The
party were to have given a concert at Newcastle on
Monday, and on Wednesday atDurham and Sunderland ;
then at Darlington, Richmond, and Halifax ; after which
they will return to London.

The Glee Club had an excellent meeting lately
John Cape!, Esq., in the chair, supported by Sir J.
L. Rogers, and a number of amateurs and professors of
music. Among the latter were Messrs. Hawes, Hors-
ley, Sale, Fitzwilliam, Bishop, Elliott, Collyer, T. Cooke,
J. O. Atkins, Walmisley, Evans, Hawkins, Bradbury,
Spencer, Blackbourne, Hobbs, &c. Several fine corn-
positions of the o; d masters were excellently sung, and
among those of modern date were Horsley's fine glee,
" Awake, my lyre ;" T. Cooke's " Fill me, boy ;" Evan
" Shall I be wasting ;" Elliott's " Bee ;" and Bishop's
charming round, " When the wind blows," accompanied
by the composer, which was loudly encored.
The Melodists' Club met on Wednesday for the first
time this season, on which occasion the following artists
were invited—Willy (violin), Carte (flute), and
W. H. Holmes (pianoforte).
THE MADRIGAL SOCIETY.--John Imrnyns, who
founded this Society, in 1741, was an attorney, but his
vocal coadjutors consisted of Spitalfield weavers. Their
first meeting used to be held at the Twelve Bells, in
Bride-lane. The Society at present has a library of
upwards of two thousand madrigals, from the earliest
period, which is, perhaps, the finest collection in the
world.

Drury-lane and Covent-garden have been crowded
every evening by the admirers of music at one house,
and the lovers of Shakespeare and splendid spectacles
et the other.

ing the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway at Hexham, about
forty miles from Carlisle. This is held out as giving
Edinburgh the advantage of communication both to Lon-
don by Newcastle, and to Liverpool and Manchester by
Carlisle.

3. The West Midland line, from Carlisle by Beatock,
through Clydesdale, to Edinburgh and Glasgow, by two
diverging lines of thirty miles each, from Symington in
this county, or a point on the Clyde above
,Lanark. This
is strongly advocated, as giving the nearest communication
from both Edinburgh and Glasgow to London, as well as
the West of England, with the advantage of accomplish-
ing this for the greatest part of the way by only one line.
This line is reported as the best by Mr. Locke. ; and it
may b.? worthy of remark, that it appears to have been by
this line, and also from a similar point of divergence, that
the Roman armies marched from England to the East and
West of Scotland. And from near the same Roman sta-
tion diverges the great Parliamentary road executed by the
late Mr. Telford, under the Government Coium;ssioners
for improving the communication between England and
Stirling, or the North of Scotland.
4. Toe \Vestmost line, from Carlisle by Dumfries,
Sanquhar, and Ayrshire to Glasgow. This is held out
to be the best communication from Glasgow to all Eng-
land, by the report of Mr. Miller, engineer.
The line from Edinburgh to Symington, running on
the north of the Pentland range, is considered a much
easier line, and through a much more productive dis-
trict, than the one previously surveyed to Edinburgh,
by Linton, on the south of the Pentlands ; but the
point of divergence, we believe, commands both sides
of that range as well as both sides of the Clyde. Sir
Frederick, we have also reason to understand, was sa-

tisficd with the field plans submitted to hint by the gen-
tlemen interested in the Eastern line; and was sur-
prised, after the long period elapsing since his appoint-
ment, that neither of the Nithsdale nor the Annandale
and Clydesdale lines had been sufficiently mapped or
delineated ; and this circumstance may, perhaps, ac-
count for the rumoured decision in favour of the East
line.—Glasgow Herald.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND
VUbitt '4; otnton.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.
New York papers of the 10th inst. announce the passing of the
United States Bank Bill through the House of Representatives by
a majority of thirty-two votes. It only awaited the signature of the
President to become the law of the United States.
Four Royal decrees appear its the Madrid Gazette of the Ifitfis
inst. The first regulates the collection and disbursement
of provincial taxes ; the second provides for the incorporation of
Navarre with the rest of Spain ; the third orders all pensions
to be paid by the Treasury ; and the fourth directs that all the
Noblesse refusing to pay the proper taxes for their titles and escut-
cheons shall be deprived of them. These decrees are all highly
popular, and aim at the suppression of numerous abuses.
Several powerful tribes in the neighbourhood of Bona and
Mostanagem have recently submitted to France. Gene.
ral Bugeaud's late campaign in Africa has been crowned
with considerable success. We need not add that all the
advantages yet gained by France in Airica have been purchased at
au expense of blood and treasure ten times greater than they are
worth.
The Alexandrian Correspondent of a Marseilles Journi.2l states
that Mr. Ongley, the British Consul at Canea, had been obliol to
go to Syria with his family, in consequence of the support gives: by
him to the insurgent Candiotes. Our advices nom Candi& hod
prepared us for far different intelligence. Mr. Ongley has been se.
presented to us as strongly prejudiced in favour of the Porte.
Letters from Athens of the 10th, state that King Otho, seeing'
that all his Ministers were about to resign, promised to yield to the
demands of Mavracordato, but only with a view to gain time•.
King Otho's incurable folly is the bane of Greece. The removal.
of this Royal imbecile. from the throne of Greece would be a
benefit to that country, second only in importance to the liberation
cf Greece from the Turkish yoke.

AGRICULTURAL.

In Cambridgeshire there has been joyous harvest
weather for the cutting and ingathering of the crops.
In Nottinghamshire harvest has commenced and the
crops are good. Accounts indeed from all parts show
that the crops have ripened kindly and well, and they
will be at maturity within a week of the average of
seasons.

ried that a statue be erected to him, and placed in the

LAW AND POLXCE.

The Italian named Girolotno Capella, convicted at the
Liverpool Assizes of scalding his companion to death
with boiling'gruel, was called up. for judgment on • Fri-
day. Lord Denman, in passing sentence, said it would
have given him the greatest pleasure to have complied
with the recommendation of the Jury for mercy had he
thought it consistent with his public duty, but it was ne-
cessary that examples should be made when these hor-
rible crimes were committed. The only prayer, said
his Lordship, which could be granted to the prisoner
was his request that lie might have time to reconcile
himself with Cod. The Learned Judge then passed
sentence of death in the usual form. The interpreter
explained to the prisoner as his Lordship proceeded. At
the close he requested the interpreter to call on him the
following day, and to get him a priest, to whom he might
confess.

At the Central Criminal Court, the trial of Richard,
Langley, indicted for the murder of James-Dixon on
the high seas, wa.-3 postponed until next syssions, On the
plea of the prisoner that lie was an America,,, juul
could not be tried in an English court.
'Thomas Lee - and William -Tairersham, accused of
stealing and 'receiving money, the property of Mr. ia,-
son, of Drury Lane Theatre, pleaded guilty of the mis-
demeanor, and were sentenced to be imprisoned fur six
weeks in the Penitentiary.
An Irishman of the name of Driscoll was convicted
of maliciously cutting and wounding one of his country-
men, and sentenced to be transported' for 15 years.

AMERICAN NEWS.

LATER FROSI. AMERICA.

••••
By the New York packet ship Independence, Captain Nye,
at Liverpool, after a rapid pasgage of eighteen days, we have
'New York papers to the 10th, two days later than those pre-
viously received by the Great Western. The papers by this
arrival are barren of interest to the English reader, exccpt that
portion which relates to the passing of the Fiscal Bank Bill by
a majority of shirt)-two votes, and which only wanted the sig-
nature of the President to become the law of the United States.
The following are the only interesting extracts :
FLORIDA.
TALLAHASSEE, „limy 28. —We learn by a letter received
by the last snail from Marianna, that a few days since a party
of Indians, supposed to number about 30, visited the setth-
ment of Mr. Morris Simms, in Jackson county, about 12
miles below Marianna, near Chipola river, murdered his twe
daughters, the one seven and the other two years of age, plun-
dered his smoke house of a quantity of bacon, a barrel f flour,
and.what other previsions they could find, killed several hogs,
and crippled two horses, with spears or spiked arrows. The
little girls were found in the cow-pen, pierced with spiked ar-
rows, and their brains dashed out with lightwood notes.
EAST FLORIDA, JULY 31.—Captain Seawell, iti; infantry,
on a scout a few days since, between Volusia and the Och-
lawaha, came upon a large party of Indians, who fled imme-
diately on giving their fire, by w hick a sergeant under his com-
mand was killed. It was not known whether the fire of Cap-
tain S. killed any of the enemy. Some 30 acres of corn were
destroyed by Captain S.

(From the New Orleans Bee, July 31,
MET A .31 ORA S. —The schooner Ringgold, Captain Marsteller,
arrived•yesterday from Metatnoras, bringing later dates from
Mexico.
The Metamoras Anchor of the sth. July, says—" Informa-
tion has been received from Vera Cruz, of the arrival there of
a Minister ffom Texas, representing the object of his mission
to be, to negotiate for the recognition of the independence of
Texas by Mexico. This announcement excited indignant feel-
ings on the part of the Government, and was opposed, notwith-
standing the British Minister continually urged the Texican
request, and appeared to be the main support of the application.
There appears to be a general prostration of business through-
out Mexico. In the capital it was said Don Lucas Alaman
,had failed for more than $1,000,000.
The arrivals yesterday from Havanna brought us dates four
eays later. They contain not a word on the subject of the
fever, and the markets are without change.
A vessel from Spain has brought out a new Spanish Minis-
ter to Mexico, and a Consul for Tampico.
SrSCIE. —The arrivals yesterday brought from Metamoras
$29,300, and from Tobasco $4,000—Total $33,700.
