TURKEY.

Advices from Constantinople announce the arrival
in that capital of an Envoy •of the Grand Schariff of
Mecca, Mohammed Ebn-Aun, who offered •to submit
on condition that the Porte would confirm him in his
Government. This envoy had been well received by
the Divan, who, however, appeared inclined to leave the
arrangement of the affair to Mehemet Ali. The Schariff
was said to be at the head of 60,000 Bedouin cavalry.

CANDIA.
The Courrier Grec, Athens Journal, of the 12th ult.,
contains a lettcr from the chief of the last insurrection
-in Candia, stating that having been betrayed by Eousses
Bourdoum Fain, they had sought refuge' on board the
English vessels ; that their intention was not to abandon
the Candiotes, but that the English had carried them to
the Piraeus, after having circulated the report of the
failure of the insurrection along the coasts, and thereby
ruined their taus,,..

Among the last fashionable arrivals in Paris we
notice the Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Lord Sheffield,
and General Murray.
ENTOMBMENT OF GENERAL HARRISON.—
The Cincinnati Gazette gives the following description of the
fins' resting place of the body of the late President :—." The
tomb is a s,rnple ~•ut luertly :.how, and
Lone of ti e decorations of art. Its situut;uu is %et) beautiful,
with ref( renee to either the river or the country in its rear. A
few trees, of the original growth of the forest, stand around it.
By another year the grass will be creeping up its sides, and
the wild flown be bending towards it." 1

There are no later arrivals to-day from any quarter.

QUARTER TO. THREE.
It is stated that the- ironmasters in Staffordshire have •
reduced the price of iron 10s. per ton. This is highly
necessary, as competition on the Continent is daily in-

creasing.

A very important change seems on the eve of accomplish-
ment in the internal
.trade of Canada, by the application of
a new propelling powcr on the St. Lawrence, upon
the principle of the screw. The following extract
killbest explain the thing, though we think our Cana-
dian brethren have no reason to grudge us a change in
our Corn-laws. It is stated that-
- De fur. another- 5un:::.....1-Ino4,,lapseci.. the _hulk vf._ Llie
forwarding trade will be carried down from the farthest
of the upper ports, direct to the Atlantic vessels. It' the
Corn laws remain unaltered, and England still continues
to afford us a market, the Canada _farmers will
profit much by this new improvement. On the
Western ports • of Lake Erie, and those of , Lake
Huron up to Goderich, the cost of transport by
the slow medium of schooners is almost too expensive
fur profitable speculation. - A vessal propelled by the
Ericson screw will make her voyage with regularity and
despatch, and ensure the farthest settler of the north-
west the means of sending down his surplus wheat, if
he have any, and afford inducements to the cultivation of
millions of acres, now thought unworthy of being elearfid
fin• the growth of grain.
