TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 7.—Paver Paella (Captain
Walker) and Mazloum 13. q did not take their passage to
Alexandria by the Stromboli, as it was originally intended
they should, but in the Turkish steamer Iscutar, which
only lett Constantinople last Monday, the 3d 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 he; 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 depese Mehemet Ali n ithout , 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 reject 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)
ha: just arrived from Syria. She is still in cuarantine ;
but the news said to have been brought by her is important
and somewhat extraordinary. Zaohariah Pacha, who had
been appointed to the government of Syria in the place of
Izzet Pacha, had 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 ['eche. Some reports state that it was Sherif Pacha,
the Governor of Damascus, and others Reschid Mehemet
Pacha, the bearer of the Sultan's firman 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 le said to have been fomented by
emissaries from Greece,

ALCOCK FOR EAST SURREY.
Four days only have elapsed since at one of the largest
meetings ever held in this county, THOMAS ALCOCK,
Esq., was nominated with acclamation to be the champion of
the Liberal interest. A personal =Ness at this late period is
obviously impossible, but he has already visited many districts,
and will attend meetings in other parts of the county, so as to
afford the fullest opportunity of ascertaining his sentiments.
We are delighted to state that we have Sound the independent
Electors true to the great cause of civil and religious freedom.
The returns now sent in prove that, by a continuance of the
noble determination and exertions already displayed, success
must, and will be the result.

NEW SPORTING MAGAZINE.

We have here some more " Scenes in the
Sporting World, Pictorial and Descriptive,"
penned, as before, by Wildrake, who gives a
brief, but animated sketch, of a wolf-hunt by
dogs on the ice in Canada. This, according to
his account, must be a very exciting sport, and
not unaccompanied with danger—its chief attrac-
tion, perhaps, in the estimation of adventurous
sportsmen. " The Statutes affecting the Turf"
is a serviceable article, from the pen of a gen-
tleman who signs himself a " Barrister-at-law."
The embellishments are not less than five in
number. The most interesting is, the " Sleigh
Meeting on the St. Laurence, with Quebec in
the distance."

EGVPT,

ALgiANbRIA, JAR. 0....Thg deeade; or lapse of ten
days, which has just elapitedi h■e cooed 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 u eatber, for it bad hat attived at Byra on the 2d inst.
It appeats that there is confidence in the judgment of
the Powers, and business is festittied 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 g-
loated. 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-
statitindple, expresses an opinion that the agents of the
!our Powers will not te:tirn to their posts till after the
definite solution of all the points that are contested.
The Europeans are very uneasy about the Asiatic epi-
demic which has just broken out in our city. Mehemet
Ali held a grand Council, in order to adopt all the neces-
sary measures 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 quailo
tity of other provisions. The vessels which come here aro
therefore sure of freight;.
A letter written by a person rather hostile to the Egyp-
tians states that Ibrahim Pacha has united 25,000 men of
regular troops, and considers that he 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 escortesi by a troop of Be-
douin horsemen in Mehemet All's pay, and now there is
no escort of less than 40 men.
Varin Bey, the Commander of the Cavalry School, has
st writt en that as soon as security is re-established in the
country, he will endeavour to rejoin Ibrahim Pacha. lie
has got together the remains of three regiments, one of
which is of cavalry the whole amounting to about 600 men.
M. Pajot and his cousin have just arrived from Abyssi-
nia, having come from Bordeaux with a cargo of merchan-
dise which M. Coombes had pointed out as suitable for the
country. The speculation was a failure.
London, England, 1841-02-02

SUBSTANCES.

Our attention has been invited to a new process,
protected by letters patent, for the above purpose.
The advantages enumerated in the circular are :
" 1. The whole process of curing effectually the
animal substance does not occupy more than one quar-
ter of an hour, economising thereby labour and time to
a very great extent.
" 2- At any season of the year, and in any tem-
perature, even under the influence of a tropical sun,
the process is effective, and may be used with perfect
safety.

‘. 3. The matcrials employed are the same as
hitherto used, but less than one-third of the usual quan-
tity is consumed.

" 4. Any desired flavour, and any degree of saltness,
may be communicated, the process being thus equally
applicable to hams, tongues, and other preparations as
to plain salting. Fish, poultry, &c., may be treated
rvith equal advantage.
" 5. By this process the nutritious elements of the
animal substance arc all preserved in it, which, by the
old mode of curing, are necessarily much deteriorated.
" 6. By this process hides can be prepared for pack-
ing with great advantage, occupying much less space,
thoroughly preserved, and rendered fitter for the tan-
ning process."

The meat to be cured is placed in an iron vessel of
' considerable strength, connected by a pipe and stop-cock
' with the brine tube, also with an exhausting pump.
The cover having been screwed down on the vessel, the
air is extracted and a vacuum established, whereupon,
the stop-cock being properly turned, the brine rushos in
and takes the place of the air, filling the pores of the
meat, and penetrating thoroughly the animal substance.
Lest, however, some parts of the meat might not have
been impregnated with the pickle by this reaction and
the common atmospheric pressure, more of the liquid
from the tub, prepared to taste with salt alone, or with
saltpetre, or sugar, or spice, or alum in the case of hides,
is pumped in by a small condensing engine (connected,
of course, also with the iron vessel) until a pressure of
from 150 lbs. to 200 lbs. on the square inch be attained.
Now, the animal substance is allowed to remain under
pressure for about ten minutes, and the process is com-
plete. The meat when taken out is thorougly saturated
with the brine, the full flavour of which is imparted to
it, and well cured.

Lord John Russell has accepted an invitation to
dine with the New Zealand Company. The dinner is to
take place in the City on Saturday, the 13th of February,
on the occasion of a Royal charter being granted to the
Company.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY

OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
The Court was occupied dui ing the morning with a case of
alleged perjury in a charge made before a magistrate, which
had not terminated at the hour of our going to press.

NEW COURT—:
(Before the COMMON SERJEANT.
John Francis Gray, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a
gun, value 21. the property of Thomas Burt, of Woolwich.
rhe prisoner wa sentenced to three months' imprisonment in
Maidstone gaol.
Witham Wootton was charged with stealing 13s. from a
box which was broken open, the property of William Ashton,
of Uxbridge, in whose service he was engaged. The prisoner
was found guilty, but recommended to mercy in consequence of
his previous good character. The Learned Serjeant said he
would consider his sentence.
William Price was charged with stealing a Mackintosh
coat, the property of Mr. Thomas Fardell, from a tavern in
Ahlgate, on the night of the 22d of January. It appeared
from the evidence that the prisoner, who was a young man of
respectable appearance, took the coat, which was hanging up
in the room of the tavern, rolled it up, and ran away with it.
He was, however, pursued, and apprehended.
The prisoner, in his own defence, said that he was intoxi-
cated at the time, and that he mistook the coat for one of his
own. The proprietor of the tavern deposed, on the contrary,
that he was at the time perfectly sober.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was
sentenced to seven years' transportation.

LONDON:
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1841.

In the House of Lords, last night, Lord ELLEN-
BOROUGH presented a petition from the East
India and China Association for an alteration in
the laws which now regulate the trade of our In-
dian empire. The Noble Baron enforced the
prayer of the petition, and inquired what part ot
the Report of the Committee of last Session the
Government meant to carry into effect.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE admitted the pro-
priety of doing full justice to the inhabitants of
our Indian empire. It was the intention of Go-
vernment, he said, to propose a measure to Par-
liament to equalize the East India and West
India runt. Other duties were so connected with
questions of revenue, that it was necessary to be
very cautious in proceeding to remove the re-
strictions on Indian trade. The petition was, of
course, laid on the table.

Lord BROUGHAM gave notice that lie would
to-morrow move the second reading of the Copy-
hold Bill; and the Earl of
RIPON gave notice
that on Monday he should call their Lordships.
attention to our relations with Persia.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY brought up the Re-
port of the Committee appointed to search for
precedents in the case of the Earl of CARDIGAN,
which recommended that the trial should take
place on the 16th instant, at the bar of that
House—not in Westminster Hall ; that all the
Judges be ordered to attend; and that the LORD
CH ANCELLOR do write to all the Peers to ac..
quaint them that their presence was required on
that day, except members of the Royal family,
who are to be informed of the trial, and may
attend or not as they please. These recom-
mendations were adopted and an address carried
to her MAJESTY to give orders to make the ne- '
cessary preparations, and to appoint a High
Steward to preside at the trial. The Peers then
adjourned.

The Commons did not assemble in sufficient
number to form a House, and adjourned till this
day.

A short conversation which took place last
night in the House of Lords on Lord ELLEN--
BOROUGH presenting a petition from the East
India and China Association, indicates the dif-
ferent manner in which both Houses of Parlia-
ment treat questions, as they have or have not
a strong personal interest in them. In the
early part of last Session a petition was pre-
sented to the House of Commons by the Chair-
man of the East India Company for an inquiry
into the duties levied on the produce of our East
India possessions. It was represented that the
duties lei l, on East and West India produce
were IN .:4 fitul t•ust to the former, and a

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class •f diseases and affec-
tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the dinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of? these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, is saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their
residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and
Five ill Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re-
quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases,
—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge-
neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party.; the
communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta-
tion Fee of 1/.," without which no notice whatever can be
taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable
secrecy may be relied on.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAA'

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice COLTMAN and a
Common Jury.)
HART V. RUSSELL.
The parties in this action were proprietors of the well-known
gamblinl house called the Berkeley Club, in Piccadilly. The
plaintiff claimed 200/., for money lent, and 41. 10s. for goods
delivered. In support of the claim for 2001. witnesses were
called, who swore that they heard the defendant state that he
had borrowed so much from the plaintiff, but would never pay
him, because he had Nabbed, and subjected him to penalties
for keeping the club. Proof was also given of the delivery of
the goods, and the Jury found for the plaintiff for their amount
(41. 10s.) only.

troops which were assembled on our frontier to the num-
ber of 20,000 men.
M. Delehaye, deputy of Ghent, called on the Govern-
ment to declare whether it was true that the French pa-
pers said that these troops (contrary to what Count de
Briey had declared in another sitting) had assembled
only at the request of the Belgian Ministry. The Minis-
ter for Foreign Affairs refused to comply with the desire
of the Deputy of Ghent. The majority of the Chamber

His Majesty has not quitted Laeken.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 26.—The King will make his excur-
sion to Ardenne very shortly. Ile was to have gone on
on Wednesday last, but it seems that the arrival of Lord
Burghersh, the English Minister to the Court of Prussia,
has caused him to delay his journey for a few days. Lord
Burghersh left Brussels this morning.

William Frederick henry arrived here to-day, to be pre-

THE HAGUE, Nov. 25.—An article in the Haarlem
Courant gives some details of the operations for drain-
ing the vale of Haarlem, which have been going on

year, the proposed object will be fully obtained, and an
exent of 18,000 acres drained.

BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 27.—The Central Section has com-
pleted the examination of the Public Debt and the Do-
tations, and appointed M. Oey its reporter. It has also
finished its examination of the Ways and Means, and
that of the Department of Justice. The examination of
the Budget, of the Department of the Interior and Public
Works, proceed rapidly. The Central Section, for ex-
amining the Budget of the Department of Foreign Af-
fairs and the Marine will meet to-day.
The object of the project of law, for the expulsion of
foreigners, is to prolong till the Ist of January, 1845,
the law of the 24th of March, 1838, with the excep-
tion, however, of the second article of that law, which
entirely protects from expulsion a foreigner married to
a Belgian woman, to whom he has children, born in Bel-
gium. By the project of law of the Minister of Justice,
foreigners of this class may be expelled in future like
others.

The preliminary inquiry respecting the late conspiracy
is going on with great activity; three examining Judges
are engaged consecutively in it, every day, till a late hour
in the night. More than 100 witnesses have been heard
this week; the accused are kept in the strictest seclusion,
and undergo frequent examinations. The Poles residing
in Belgium, will celebrate, at Brussels, on Monday next,
the 11th anniversary of their revolution.
A report was spread yesterday morning that there had
been riots at Liege, and even that depots of powder had
been discovered in several houses. The whole is a mere
fable, the only foundation for which was the breaking of
a few lamps in the night by some intoxicated persons.

tion of the members of the Bradford Reform Club to
convene a general meeting to consider the propriety of

for the Borough, as he does not represent the opinions of
the majority of the inhabitants.

on Friday night !
Her Majesty the Queen has presented to the Numis-
' matic Society an extensive variety cf specimens of the

on the banks of the Ribble and Cuerdale, in Lancashire.
They are chiefly of the Mint of Bury St. Edmund's,
Archbishop Plegmund, Alfred the Great, and of contem-
porary Continental Princes and towns, and are in many
instances of the utmost rarity.
Few persons are aware of the circumstance that the
Royal Infant, in addition to his other titles, is also born
" Viscount Launceston."

The Reading Magistrates, in the excess of their legis-
lative wisdom, have committed Bernard Cavanagh to the
tread-mill for refusing to starve himself to death; just
as, years ago, some equally sapient Magistrates im-
prisoned M. Chabert—the Salamander, as he called
himself—for refusing to bake himself to death in an oven!
The Thames Tunnel and an eminent M.P. (late of the
Surrey Theatre) are alike remarkable as being the two
greatest bores in Christendom.
On Saturday, in 1703, Bishop Kidder was killed at his
Palace in Wells, in consequence of the fall of a stack of

On Wednesday a meeting was held at Liverpool of the

tained for their guidance.

An officer of the 13th Regiment of the line,
who, in a duel on the 31st ult., as we mentioned at the
time, had the misfortune to kill another officer of the
same corps, and was ordered under arrest for 15 days,
has been further ordered by the Minister of War to
,be imprisoned in the Abbaye, at Paris, for two months.
The seconds are ordered to be under simple arrest for
fifteen days. The Minister, in giving his decision on
this point, took occasion to express his regret that the
affair had originated in a cause which appeared to him
very frivolous.— Galignani.

AMERICAN NEWS

EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING.

We have received by express from Liverpool
New York Papers, two days later than those
brought by the Acadia steamer. The Oxford
packet ship, Captain Rathbone, was telegraphed
off Point Lynas, at 11, A.M., yesterday, and was
towed in by a steamer about 10. 30 last evening.
The Europe and Independence line of packet
ships were going into the Bay when the Oxford
sailed. There is little or no intelligence in the
papers before us. Sunday having intervened
since the departure of the steamer, the opera-
tions in the Money Market had been to a very
limited extent previously to the departure of the
Oxford on Monday. The sales of local stock
were—in Delaware and Hudson, at a decline of
per cent. ; Farmers' Trust, ; Long Island, I;
Mohawk, ; Harlem, improved, ; Paterson,
In other stock but little had transpired.

There is no political news of any interest what.
