CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 27.—0 n the 24th one of
the quarantine officers died in this city. In Odessa,
also, several cases of cholera have occurred, but the
existence of the pestilence had not been notified by
the authorities. Vessels coming from thence had
been unsuspectingly admitted.
The farce with Bederhan Bey is all at an end. That
murderer of the Koordistan Christians has received
unconditional pardon, and has been empow-
ered to return to the scene of his barba-
rities. We see how much cause the Sultan
gives the Christian Powers for the amicable care with
which they take his part on every occasion, even
though it be against a king of noble European blood.
VIENNA, Nov. 7.—lt is confidently asserted that
in Galicia, in the vicinity of Borhnia, a cannon was
stopped, which was being smuggled into the
country by the ever- active Propaganda. So
much, however, is certain, that while peace is
apparently established in the whole country, and
there are ample resources at hand to main-
tain the peace, the chief judge of the criminal
court has been barbarously murdered, as we have
already stated. In 1838 he had taken an active part
in the :investigation respecting the Polish insurrec-
tions in Galicia, and has since that time been occu-
pied in similar duties.

HANOVER, Nov. 6.—This morning a royal pro-
clamation was issued, by which the eighteenth
general meeting of the States, opened on the 2d
December, 1841, is dissolved, and a new one convoked.
The elections have been announced, but the time
when the new Diet is to assemble is not stated.
Probably it cannot be till the middle of December,
or the beginning of the new year. This early assem-
bling of the States is an evident sign that other
urgent cases besides those of finance will be sub-
mitted to their consideration.—Flanders Papers,
Nov. 15.

FATAL ACCIDENT AND NARROW ESCAPE.--011
Saturday afternoon, while the steamer Minerva, from
Cork, was taking up her berth at the wharf, two
men, one a porter, and the other unknown, fell from
otr the paddle-box of the Modern Athens into the
water, in consequence, it is supposed, of the surge from
the Miverva having caused the sudden lurch ofthe Mo-
dern Athens. Both immediately disappeared under the
surface of the water, and a few moments elapsed ere one
of the men appeared on the other side of the vessel,
having passed completely underneath the keel. He
was immediately rescued, but the other man, who
was Unknown to any one, we regret to say, was
drowned. Active attempts were made to recover the
body, but up to a late hour on Saturday night were
unsuccessful. It is conjectured that the unfortunate
man is an Irish labourer. His hat was found floating
on the water a short time after he had disappeared,
and a small bundle containing a loaf of bread was
found on the deck of the Modern Athens.

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE ADELFHI THEATRE
FROM DESTRUCTION BY FIRE.—On Friday morning
last a fire broke out in this building, which, had it
not fortunately been perceived in time, would have
caused its destruction. During the time the company
were rehearsing, Mr. Raymond observed a light
near the footlights, and called the attention of one
of the performers to it, and on examination it was
found that the stage had caught fire, owing to the
bursting of a gas pipe, and the ignition of the gas.
The flames were immediately extinguished, and the
damage done was but trifling, but had the fire not
been discovered previous to the conclusion of the re-
hearsal, the theatre would doubtless have shared the
same fate as the Queen-street and City theatres.
APPREHENSION OF TWO COINERS.—On Saturday
night, acting on information which had been received
in the course of the day, criminal officers Irvine and
Mellen, accompanied by a third party, proceeded
out to Glen Park, a suburb at the east end of Glas-
gow, with the view of apprehending an individual
named Kerr, who was strongly suspected of being
engaged in coining base money. They reached the
locality about seven o'clock, and with some difficulty
found out the spot where the suspected coiner had
taken up his abode. A slight tap at the door awakened
no suspicions, and it was immediately opened by a
female, who, whenever she saw the officers communi-
cated the alarm, but not before they had seen enough
to convince them of the practices of the parties in-
side. When the officers entered, Kerr, who was in
the very act of pouring metal into a mould which
herat lei tesldin his hand, dashed it on the ground, and
meintiaetdchetieng a rush at them, with the view, if'possible, of
his escape ; and it was not till after a despe-
