EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, Atm. 6.—. The Etnmetjee packet schooner
arrived from Beyrout on the 29th ult., but brought no news of
much importance. The Powerful and Cambridge were there,
making the present force on the coast of Syria two ships of the
line, zfrigate, a corvette, and two steamers. Discontent still
prevailed in the mountains, aqd it was suspected a general out-
break, and a declaration of independence, were prevented merely
by the presence of the English ships of war. No respect
whatever was paid to the Turkish authorities, who were
entirely powerless amongst the mouwaineers.
The Rodney and Calcutta are still here; but, I understand,
go to sea to-morrow, to cruise about for a few days, and will
return about the 13th or 14th. Captain Maunsell has had
several interviews with the Pacha during the short time he has
been on the station, and, in fact, is now an old friend of his
Highness, he having been here on several rather important oc-
casions. The Medea is still in port, and Colonel Napier still
her• waiting instructions relative to the Syrians.
The passengers by the Oriental arrived too late for the Suez
steamer, owing entirely, it seems, to the badness of Hill and
Co.'s transit horses for the desert. When they started from
Cairo they were four hours a-head of the mail; but, from the
inferiority of the horses, they were 36 hours in going 32 miles;
so of course the passengers are all complaining me.st bitterly,
as they have no alternative now but to wait for next steamer.
The Nile continues to rise rapidly, and almost threatens an
overflow like that of last year. It has risen already 144- pikes,
very little less than at the same time last year.
Eight hundred artillery have been ordered from Cairo, and
a new fortress has just been commenced at that part of the
Shouma called the catacombs.

There is a report, but not yet fully confirmed, that an Eng-
lishman has just been found dead near the Ataison Carr6e, on
the banks of the canal, and partly devoured by dogs.

FINE ARTS.

The Presentation of a Newly Elected Chief of the
Huron Tribe is the subject of a picture painted by Mr.
H. D. Thieleke, which has acquired some celebrity in
Canada. It has been lithographed, and on judging from
the impression before us, the picture does honour to the
artist. We were struck with the resemblance of the
Chief to some of the heads of our greatest men. The ex-
planation which accompanies the plate informs us that
he is Robert Symes„Esq., a British born subject—our won-
der ceased. The countenances of the surrounding In-
dians are much better than we had expected; they are all of
a mixed breed. One portrait is introduced of a young
Indian, the only one, we are told, remaining, " having no
admixture of white blood." " The picturi," says the
Quebec Gazette, will, in after times, be an interesting
memorial of the remains of a nation which once mus-
tered 60,000 warriors, but is now dwindled away, before
European civilization, to a few scattered remnants of
which the Wyandotes, west of the Great Lakes, and the
Lorette Indians are the chief." Accompanied by
the explanation of the picture is an interesting memorial
also of Indian names, as well as features and costume.
One is called A-non-cha-wauchratte, i e., one who passes
over the tops oj houses. Another is Tza-wan-ho-hi, i.e.,
one who plunges things into the water. A third is Tzo-
ha-his-sen, one who is near the road. A fourth is Ta-
hour-han-chi, the dawn of morning. A fifth is, Oh-da-
wan-hont, he has the river in his mouth; and one who
quickly mounts an eminence, is called Ah-ret-him-
ha. The characters are painted in the grand cos-
tume of the tribe, as at present worn, and, placed
along side West's " Death of Wolfe," enables us at
a glance, by looking at the warriors there, to note
several of the changes which the Europeans have wrought
in the Indians. M. Thielcke's picture is valuable, both
as a work of art and of history. It is a graphic memo-
rial of changes already effected in an interesting people
who are passing away.

THEATRE ROYAL,
.ADELPHI,

LAST WEEK of the WIZARD of the NORTH working
his WONDF.RS, and LAST SIX NIGHTS of the SONS of
EXTEMPORANEOUS HARMONY—The Lancashire Bell
Ringers.
All who wish to see the Great rlelusionist—or MIRACLE
OF THE. NINETEENTH CENTURY—must visit the
Adelphi during next week, as it will be the only opportunity
the lovers of the marvellous will have of beholding this SON
OF DELUSION, whose extraordinary powers have caused all
to wonder from the Throne to the Peasant, from the Peasant
to the Philosopher. A wonder unparalleled. The Great
Wizard, by his individual exertion, has filled the Adelphi
Theatre for one hundred nights, and could for three hundred
more, but that he is compelled to make way for the Great Fred.
(not Frederick the Great), who will commence his Mephisto-
philian orgies earlier than the Wizard expected.
" Come oue—Come all !"—The Wizard will be found incom-
prehensible as he is invulnerable. A hundred of the best of
the London Sportsmen have tried in vain to wing him, but he
is still on the wing, and will for ono week more be their Living
Target.
The Wizard hopes that " Homo Invulnerabilis" will still be
his motto ; and h., pledges himself that he will exert all his
powers to please his patrons, and to fill his Magic Temple to
the ceiling.

GUILDHALL.

On Wednesday Messrs. Yates, 11edges, Middleditch, Jordan
Wall, and Dyer, and eight others, Shareholders in the Union
Flint Glass Company at Bromley, attended before Sir Peter
Laurie, to solicit his advice what they should da under the fol-
lowing harassing circumstances:—They stated, that in the
year 1839, a prospeetus was issued, representing that there was
an immense consumption of glassware in the metropolis, that
the supply came from different parts of the country, and the
breakage on the road was so enormous, that a very large pro-
fit would be made by making the glass in the metro-
polis. The price of the shares was only 51., so as to bring
them within the reach of men in moderate circum-
stances like the applicants. The works were erected at
Bromley, and after working up 4,000/. worth of materials,
they found the scheme was a decided failure. The estimates,
which led them to expect a large profit, were found to be fal-
lacious. The glass instead of selling at 10d. a pound, was
sold at 4d. ; but even at 10d. it would be manufactured at a
loss. Coals were found to amount to nearly half the expense
of fabricating glass, instead of only a tenth part, as the esti-
mates held out. The prospectus held forth that the sharehold-
era would be guaranteed from liability to loss beyond the sum
paid for the shares, by the Directors making it a rule that no
expense should be incurred which there was not funds in hand
to meet, notwithstanding which the Directors had incurred
debts to the amount of 6,0001., and the creditors of the Com-
pany were serving writs on the Shareholders separately or in
masses, for amounts which would strip them of all their
property.
Sir P. LAURIE asked how the Company had already in-
curred a debt of 6,000/. ? A party replied, the sale of the
shares produced only 3,000/., and the building of the works cost
6,000/.

Sir J. DUKE said they must pay the claims when made
upon them or defend the actions.
Sir P. LAURIE said no such thing as a limitation of respon-
sibility was attainable by shareholders as to claims from the
public. What the deed might say about limitation would be
operative only amongst the shareholders es against each other.
There was more villany in the concocting of some Companies,
than in the committing of what were deemed serious crimes.
The applicants said their object was to know how they
could best prevent the Directors from going on, and incurring
new liabilities, to the utter destruction of each shareholder.
The Directors defied them.
Sir P. L A URIE thought the best course was to call a public
meeting of the shareholders, expose the names and addresses
of the Directors, sift their, accounts and management, and
show that the Company was a complete failure. This would
stop further credit being given, and they must resist every.
action that might be brought thereafter.
The applicants promised to consult upon the subject, and
to furnish Sir Peter with a list of the Sareholders, Directors,
and some ether matters.

PARLIAMENTARY.

The Peers did not meet yesterday.
In the Commons Mr. Roebuck asked five questions re-
lative to M'Leod, all of which were satisfactorily an-
swered by Lord Plilnaerston's reading an instruction from
Mr. Webster, the AMerican Secretary of State, to the
Attorney-General of the United States, in which the
reclamation of our GoVernment, in relation to M'Leod,
is fully acknowledged and set forth. The principle of
international law for which Lord Palmerston has con-
tended is distictly recognized. It is also stated that the
President felt himself called on to interfere to stop all
proceedings, and so far as the Federal Government can it
will protect M'Leod. The question of the destruction of
the Caroline will then be discussed and settled by the
two Governments. The power of the State of New York,
in relation to the Federal Government, a very curious
and novel question and the source of all the difficulty,
the Americans must decide.

In reply to Sir C. Napier, Lord Palmerston stated that
the inhabitants of Syria are to be compensated for the
loss of their property.
Sir M. Wood's Committee on the Metropolitan Im-
provements was reappointed.
Dr. Bowring obtained some returns to illustrate the
working of the Quarantine-laws.
The adjourned debate was renewed by Lord San-
don. He was followed by Mr. Milner Gibson, and a very
dull debate occupied the whole evening. The principal
speakers were Mr. Borthwick, Mr. O'Brien, Colonel Sib-
thorpe, whose uncouthness still provoked a smile, Mr.
Escott, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who dis-
cussed finance, Mr. Gonlburn, who refuted what
the Chancellor said, and Mr. Wakley, who com-
plained of the mystical manner in which the pub-
lic accounts are kept, so that rival Chancellors
can draw from them any deduction they pleased. The
Hon. Member was less happy than usual, but he did to-
wards the end turn a joke or two against Lord John
Russell, now become a metropolitan demagogue. Our
space will not allow us to repeat the Bon. Gentleman's
jokes, and our readers will find them elsewhere. Not-
withstanding the extreme dullness of the debate, the
Members were exemplary in their attendance and atten-
tion ; and, from their patience, we infer that it is.pos-
sible for the debate, to last another week. The.opmion
that it would close "last night, was never countenanced
by the appearance of _the House. On Mr. Wakley's re-
suming his seat, the debate was adjourned till this day.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

FRANCE.

PARIS, THURSDAY.—The Conseil d'Etat of Paris has
decided in favour of the legality of the census.
On his arrival at Caen, on the 23d, Monsieur Guizot
became the object of a charicari from nearly 3,000
citizens of all classes. The tumult was so great, and
the mob so violent, vociferating cries of " A bus
Guizot, a bas 12 traitre de 1815, a Las le
Recensement, a bas le complices du Demourier,"
that it became necessary to call in the military. The
mob dispersed and paraded the streets during a part of
the evening, singing La Mursellaise. It is reported
that M. Guizot, who had come to Caen to preside at the
Council-General, had left the town.

A ministerial explanation, says the Charivari, given
as reported in the National, to M. Guizot, is consider-
ably exaggerated. This account states that the popular
ebullition by the presence of a Deputy who bad taken
some part in the amusement and the public opposition
was more directed against that measure than against M.
Guizot.

RUMOURS or THE DAY.

Sir James Graham is to resume the place which he at
one time held under the Whigs, and become First Lord
of the Admiralty ; and Sir William Follett will be
Attorney-General. Sir Frederick Pollock, of course,
must be provided for. Has Lord Abinger been keeping
the chief seat in the Court of Exchequer warm for him
to the annoyance of his son-in-law ?
It is stated that Sir Thomas Troubridge, who for
several years past has upheld the Ministerial cause at
Sandwich, is about to vacate his seat, upon his appoint-
ment to the government of South Australia.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY.—The census is being taken in
Paris and other great towns very quietly, the dumb op-
position of closed doors being passed over without notice
by the Commissioners. It is reported that an Ex-Deputy
at Lille had been arrested for some act of an anti-census
nature.

The speech delivered at Lisieux, by M. Guizot„is much
animadverted on by the Paris papers.
The Courrier Francais states that M. Huma.nn was
determined to bring out the loan in October.
M. Tobler, the Consul of Toscany in Algiers, had
failed for a sum ofBoo,ooo florins.
M. Guizot had been elected President *of the Council

THE LEVANT MAIL.

We have received the Levant mail, with Constanti-
nople, Alexandria, and Smyrna dates of the 7th, and of
Malta, of the 16th. It is officially announced that the
Candian insurrection is at an end, the insurgents having
accepted the amnesty offered by Tahir Pacha, and sur-
rendered to Mustapha Pacha. A new militia has been
organised at Constantinople, by which one hundred
thousand men are added to the effective force of the em-
pire. The expedition for Tunis and Tripoli is nearly
ready for sea, several troops having been embarked. Our
private letters state that the destination of the fleet is
positively for Tunis, and that much difficulty is antici-
pated on the part of the French Government.
The latest intelligence &mil Candia, brought by the
Malta papers of the 15th, comes down to the 4th. A
few insurgents still held out in the mountains of Sphakia,
but the rest of the island had submitted.

The Sultan had reduced the tribute to be paid by Me-
hemet Ali from 40,000,000 to 30,000,000 of piastres. Said
Bey, the grandson of the Pacha, continued to be the
object of the most delicate attention. The Sultan's health
was improving, and .he had of late frequently appeared
in public. Ali Bey, an Attache of the Ottoman Lep-
tion in London, arrived at Constantinople on the 4th in-
stant, having been sent thither by Chekib Effendi with
the protocol signed by the Conference on the 13th of
July, which was to have been immediately ratified and
returned to London.

A British man of war, the Implacable, has been sent
from Malta to observe the French Reet at Tunis. A
case of plague had been reported at Pent. Sir John
M'Neil has sailed for Trebisond. Colonel Barnett and
Mr. Drummond Hay are daily expected to sail for Alex-
andria.
London, England, 1841-08-27

MAW AND POLICE.

At Lambeth-street,Police-office yesterday, a case of
some interest to the mercantile community was decided.
John Bruton East, the master of the ship Britannia, ap-
peared to answer the claim of Archibald M‘Neile, a sea-
man, who made a demand of 191. los. for his services on
board, on a voyage from London to Jamaica and back.
Five of the crew ware taken ill of the fever in Jamaica,
one of whom died, and the Captain called;upon a doctor
to attend them, on board, and he made a deduction of
14s. from the 'ages of each sick man for the expenses
of the doctor, fAich the complainant refused to comply
with. Mr. Broderip said by Act of Parliament the mas-
ter of a vessel was bound to provide a medicine-chest,
and whatever medicine or advice might be necessary for
the health of the men,and he therefore ordered the full
wages to be paid with costs.
At Guildhall, Mr. Watson, a solicitor in Falcon-
square, appeared to answer a complaint laid by Captain
Shipston, of llotherfield•street, Islington, for detaining
a ship's register, whereby he forfeited 1001. The evi-
dence had been taken at great length on the lath inst.,
and Mr. Alderman Wilson yesterday expressed his
opinion that the plea of detention, urged by the defen-
dant till his bill was paid, would not hold against the
statute, nor would the plea that the complainant,
because he had received 1,500/. out of 6,500., was
bound to give up possession of the ship or his title-
deeds to it. Till the payment was complete the com-
plainant remained the owner, and was therefore entitled
to possession of the register. He must therefore order the
ship's register to be given up. The defendant, acting
under the advice of Mr. Clarkson, refused to part with it,
when the Alderman said the terms of the Act were im-
perative, and it must either be given up or he would in-
flict the penalty of 1001., and in default of payment
commit Mr. Watson to prison for three months. Mr.
Watson eventually paid 1001., under protest, and kept
the register.
At the Liverpool assizes on Wednesday, Thomas
Roche and Samuel Blackney were indicted for the mur-
der of Matthew Naylor, a musician, on the 12th of April,
at Manchester. The Jury retired for about an hour,
and not considering the evidence sufficient, returned a
verdict of Not Guilty.
London, England, 1841-08-27

EGYPT.

Our private correspondent in Alexandria writes on the
6th, that the tribute had been reduced to 15,000,000 of
piastres. The Calcutta and Rodney were still off Alex-
andria, exercising the crews at their guns. The Pacha
was alarmed at their presence, but had declared that he
would not surrender the Syrian soldiers to Colonel Napier
without a direct order from the Sultan. There appeared
to be no disposition at Alexandria to execute the [last
hatti-scheriff, or that of Gulhane, the strictest monopoly
existing in all commercial transactions.

Wakley), therefore, entreated the Eight Hon. Baronet
to take that odious law into his consideration—and he
was most anxious that he should have time for doing so.
His Honourable Friend, the Member for Bath, was
a democrat, and being so, he asked him to point out any
words in that law that had a democratic tendency. The
fact was, that it was based on tyranny.—(Hear.) He
would without hesitation assert that no Poor-law could

be wise that did net give to the parties having the
I distribution of the funds, the opportunity of distin-
guishing between virtue and vice.—(Hear.) The more
he thought of it, the more he was convinced that no
person could retain power who did not do all in his
• power to alter and amend that law.—(Hear, hear.)
, The gentlemen of England must be aware how
they supported that law.—(Hear, hear.) For if they
knew what the hungry man felt, they would consider
before they excited their passions. He trusted, there-
fore, that the Right Honourable Baronet would take the
subject of this law into his deliberate and careful
consideration.—(Hear, hear.) He did not ask for
, the repeal of the law, but only that the Right Hon.
Baronet would take the state of the poor man into
his consideration. The present Poor-law Bill was su
• an odious measure, and the one that had proved the
downfal of the present Ministry, for he believed
. that had it not been for it, they would have had at the
present moment a large majority.—(Hear.)
On the motion of Mr. BROTHERTON the debate
was adjourned till to• morrow, and at Twenty Minutes
past Twelve o'Clock the House Adjourned.

SYRIA.

The Smyrna Journal of the 9th describes Syria as
completely pacified, but our direct advices from Beyrout
of the 24th ult. represent the country as in a state of
complete anarchy. In Lebanon the various Emirs were
contending for sovereignty. ; part of the people had de-
clared against Emir Kasim, in favour of the Emirs
Abbas or Soliman, while others insisted on the recal of
the old Emir Beschir. There were two British ships
of war of the line, two frigates, one brig, and two
steamers before Beyrout, on the 24th. Trade was at a
complete stand. The Bedouins: near Aleppo had plun-
dered a caravan, which was conveying provisions and
other necessaries to the two English steamers in the
Euphrates. M. Bourra, the French Consul dismissed
by M. Thiers, had returned to Beyrout.
Letters from Smyrna of the 9th announce the arrival
of M. Lynch, Commander of the Euphrates expedition,
on his way to Beles. The number of houses consumed
by the fire of the 20th ult. exceeded 12,000, and the loss
was estimated at 2,000,000/. sterling.
London, England, 1841-08-27

NAVAL AND IVZTLITAZLY.

The utmost activity now prevails at our naval arsenals,
and many ships of large size have been ordered to be
commissioned. The Impregnable, three-decker, 110, is
the only ship at Spithead.
Information has arrived that her Majesty's sloop Acorn
on the 11th of last July, had been engaged with the brig
Gabriel, a pirate, under Spanish colours, mounting 18
guns and 62 men, which, after three hours hard fighting,
struck. The prize has been sent to St. Helena, and the
pirate crew transhipped to the Acorn.
London, England, 1841-08-27

SPAIN.

From Madrid we learn by letters of the 18th, that no
insurrection in favour of Queen Christina has ever been
thought of, and that sho has no longer any political im-
portance in the country.
The total abolition of tithes in Spain will ruin many
of the great families.
Madrid Bourse.—Five per Cent. 231 cash.

EGIIAM RACES.-THURSDAY.

The appearance of St. Francis drove six of the Queen's Plate
horses out of the field,and the Egham Stakes not having filled,
the "grand day," as the third has been commonly called, was
deprived of its interest ; hence a numerous company was fain
to put up with a very small quantity of racing, with nothing to
compensate its inferiority but the delightful state of the wea-
ther. We understand that Col. C. B. Challoner and G. S.
llarcourt, Esq., have it in contemplation to hold a meeting for
the purpose of raising a more liberal fund for next year, and
that every exertion will be made to place the races on a better
footing. The running yesterday may be disposed of in half-a-
dozen lines.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

It world be an endless task to refute the fabrications of
the Journal adverted to by " An Elector of Plymouth,"
and he will therefore excuse us, considering also the
press of matter, for not inserting his letter.
The letter of " J. S. S.'aud of " Cassandra," and another
without any sigaature, have been received, and wou:d
have been published but for the length of the debate.

AGRICULTURAL.

At Nottingham the weather has been favourable
during the week, and on every hand the scythe and the
sickle are busily employed in cutting down the golden
ears of plenty. Much barley has been housed, and very
little white corn will be standing at the end of the week.
In Wiltshire the weather is still unsettled, and a good
deal of rain has fallen. The harvest gets on slowly ; in
a great many places the wheat is very green.

One of the men who have lately committed de-
predations in the cemeteries of Paris has been discovered
and brought to trial. A young man employed by the
head gardener of the Cimetiere Montmartre was yester-
day brought before the Correctional Tribunal, and con-
victed of stealing many decorations of tombs, such as
vases in bronze and porcelaine paterme, cups, &c. In
consequence of his previous good character, he was
teueed only to oix month' imprisommuti
