.A.GRICIILTURILL.

-----
At Newcastle the harvest is pretty general, and will be
entirely so before the week closes. Though the crops are
thin, little injury has been sustained.

NAVAL AND MILITARY.

Two first-rate Indiamen have been recently burned in
the port of Mauritius. The David Scott, of London, in
June last, having on boerd a very rich cargo, ignited by
a spark in the spirit-room, and was consumed to the
water's edge. The loss is 30,0001. On the 21st of the
same month, the magnificent ship the Republic took fire,
it is supposed from gunpowder on board, and was also
totally consumed ; this ship is insured. Both, fortu-
nately, were unattended with loss of life.

The magnificent vessel, Belleisle, after sailing to Dub-
lin, has returned to Cork. She has now weighed anchor
for Plymouth, whence 'she proceeds to the Mediterranean.

LAW AND POLICE.

On Tuesday Jules Le Jeuae,;FTenchman, was
charged at Union Hall with committing an assault on
Mr. John Maddox, at Vauxhall Gardens. The latter
had incautiously addressed some ladies, but begged par-
don. Le Jenne, however, kicked him in the abdomen,
and injured him severely. The defendant was called
upon to find sureties for his appearance at the Sessions.
George Charles Smith, of Wellclose-square, a noted
open-air preacher, known by the title of " Boatswain
Smith," appeared at Guildhall before Alderman Pine,
on a charge of causing obstruction by preaching in Bar-
tholomew Fair, with a group of children about him,
habited as soldiers and sailors, singing hymns. Alder-
man Pine remarked that he had heard of Mr. Smith as
a worthy preacher, and a doer of much good, and he
should be sorry to interfere with such a man, Mr. Smith
had stationed himself in the middle of the pens, so that
no obstruction had been caused.

Though the Leicester trade is far from being in a

At Stockport the prospects of the working classes are
gloomy in the extreme. At this moment 2,000 factory
operatives are out of employ, and the number will in-

At the Hull docks on Wednesday week, dock dues
were paid on forty vessels arriving at this port, being the
largest number ever known in one day. They were
principally laden with grain.

present Edward Buller, Esq., M.P., with a piece of plate,
as a testimony of their esteem for his conduct in Parlia-
ment as their representative.

SCIENCE AND ART.
The report that Mr. Faraday's indisposition obliged

covered, and is now enjoying himself with excellent

POREXGN.
There is some talk of another serious misunderstand-
ing between France and England. The Porte is sending
a naval expedition against; the Bey of Tunis, the Sultan's
vassal. France has engaged to protect the Bey, and Eng-
land has bound herself to uphold the dominion of the
Porte. If, therefore, the Divan persevere, a hostile col-
lision between the English and French fleets is regarded
as certain. This is distressing news, if true. W have
already risked enough for Turkey, seeing the mode in
which she governs Syria. The Government ought to dis-
suade the Porte from any attack on Tunis.
Rear-Admiral Cay has received orders to sail for
Brest in a fortnight, in command of the following ships
of war :—The Jena, the Suffrein, the Marengo, the
Triton, and the Scipion. A letter from Barcelona of
the 28th ult. says—" All the French men-of-war have
received orders to put out to sea without any knowledge
of their destination. The commanders are to open
their despatches only when they are at sea." The French
Minister of Marine is partial to sealed . instructions.
They. have before been, issued when a cruize for exercise
in the Mediterranean was only intended. _Possibly. on
this occasion the destination of the fleet may be Tunis.
The Emperor of Morocco has given orders to the Ad-
miral of the two ships of war bearing his flag, not to
molest any vessel bearing the British or llansiatic flag.
Such respect for our flag on the part of' his Moorish
Majesty calls for the grateful acknowledgment of the
First Lord of the Admiralty. Spare our flag while at
the head of a fleet of two ships of war ? What magna-
nimity !
_ _ _

On the 16th ult. a Swedish Captain in the Baltic fell
in with a Russian squadron consisting of nine ships of
the line, carrying from 80 to 100 guns, two of which
carried Admiral's flags ; three frigates, and a large brig.
Nothing is said of their destination.

There is no truth in the report that the Spanish
authorities at Mahon detained a French brig.
Chevalier Raffh, Prime Minister of the Bey of Tunis,
has arrived in France. This looks as if a collision be-
tween the Porte and the Bey was apprehended.
The Hellenic Committee is doing all in its power to
support the cause of the Greek insurgents in Candia.
The French and English Governments are said to re-
commend Greece to observe a strict neutrality.

GUILDHALL.

John Roberts, a good-looking youth, was charged
with attempting self-destruction by casting himself from
the wall of Blackfriars .bridge on Friday evening. Po-
lice-constable 304 stated that a gentleman pointed out to
him a person who had leaped over the parapet wall upon
the shelf on the centre of the bridge. He ran, and with
the help of a passer-by, dragged him from his perilous
situation. The prisoner was either half drunk or ex-
cited, and said he meant to have drowned himself: He was
a lad of good character, and his master was in attendance.
The landlord of the Queen's Head, Water. lane, stated
that the prisoner was his servant as pot-boy and waiter,
and he was a remarkably civil and honest lad. He had
his full confidence, and was generally respected.
Alderman KELLY-What could have led to this rash
attempt ? Witness—l have since learned that last
night (Friday) he was drinking. in the tap-room with
his father, a man I have long known, and that some un-
pleasant words passed between them. His father is a
very honest man, and lives in Green-street.

Alderman KELLY—Young man, what have you to say ?
Prisoner—My father found fault with me without cause.
Words brought on words, and I went with the intention of
drowning myself.
Alderman KELLY—Perhaps, you only did it to frighten
your father, when he should happen to hear of it ? Pri-
soner—No, Sir. _

Alderman KELLY—WeII, if you were resolved at first
to destroy your life, what made you desist ? Prisoner—
After I got over the wall I reflected a little.
Alderman KELLY—As you well might, when, by your
own account, you were about to launch from the brink
of time into the gulph which leads to eternity I Are you
glad that you were baffled in your attempt ? Prisoner—
Yes, Sir.

The master interposed again, and implored the Court
not to commit the prisoner. He hoped that his escape
would correct his folly. He believed him to be a good
lad ; and if the Magistrate pleased, he would take him
home with him. A better servant he never had.
Alderman KELLY (to the prisoner)—Yon have a good
master. He is a kind-hearted man ; and if his house
was not a respectable one, I shouldknow of it, for it is
in my ward. Go home with him, and reflect upon what
might have been your condition ; and be thankful to
Gad for preserving you from the commission of an offence
of which you could not have repented. The master and
servant then left the Court.

IRELAND.

RAILWAYS IN IRELAND.
DUBLIN, DEC. 17.—His Excellency the Lord Lieute-
nant has addressed a short reply, - throngh the Earl of
Bandon, acknowledging the memorial on the subject of
a railway between Cork and Dublin. The Noble Earl
observes, " 'that without entering at the present moment
into the extensive and difficult subject of the question at
large, his Excellency begs Lord Bandon will inform the
gentlemen who took an interest on the occasion, that he
had received their memorial, and that he will bear in
mind their suggestions whenever the occasion may arise."

EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 6.—We are without further par-
ticulars from Syria. Travellers come back with fever,
and complain of interruptions on the route.
They were saluted with a quarantine on entering
Egypt, though we have cases of plague even in Alexan-
dria ; much lever still prevalent in this city. Some
travellers come by land from Syria, and had a long
quarantine near Damietta, in a bad locality, and with bad
accommodations ; the consequence was illness, the place
being feverish, and one of the party died afterwards at
Cairo. There is no end to absurdities in this country,
under pretence of quarantine ; and the worst of it is our
new Consul-General does not protest stoutly against
them. Conciliation is the order of the day.
The Pacha is still in Upper Egypt.
The custom house of Alexandria is crammed with im-
ported goods. Anything may come in, but nothing al-
lowed to go out till his Excellency Boghas Bey has
heard from the Pacha. The object is, to levy the new
duty, under the Turkish commercial treaty, of five per
cent. ad valorem on the contents of the Custom-house,
ir.stead of the old duty of three per cent. Here, as in
Syria, they are ready enough to lay on whatever the
treaty sanctions, without taking off an iota of what was
levied before internally. The commercial treaty was
fudged on the public at home as something wonderful,
but, so far as Egypt and Syria are concerned, it is very
injurious to foreign trade. Turkish goods, or those
coining from Turkish ports, arc treated here as foreign,
and pay foreign import duty ; nay, they even levy 12
per cent. as the export duty from Turkey, unless pro-
vided with certificates of having paid it before export.
Our latest dates are London 6th, Marseilles 11th, Malta
and Constantinople 17th inst. Bombay Ist inst.

PROVINCIAL COLLEGES IN IRELAND,

, A very long document has made its appearance in the
Cork papers in reference to the establishment of provin-
cial colleges in Ireland, to be founded upon the principle
of giving " industrial education" to the sons of the landed
gentry, in order the better to work out the objects for
which so many agricultural societies have been so re-
cently formed in this country. This production is written
by Mr. Thomas • Wyse,. late Member .for the city of
Waterford and a Lord of the Treasury, who states that
his proposal had received the sanction of the Whig Go-
vernment, and that the question would have been brought
before Parliament as a Cabinet measure " if the Liberal
Ministry had not been obliged to resign." Mr. Wyse
also mentions that Lord Morpeth has ex-officially trans-
mitted the documents connected with these proceedings
to his successor, Lord Eliot, in whose possession they
now are.

EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 6--..11,11e are without further par-
ticulars from Syria. Travellers come back with fever,
and complain of interruptions on the route.
They were saluted with a quarantine on entering
Egypt, though we hare cases of plague even in Alexan-
dria ; much lever still prevalent in this city. Some
travellers come by land from Syria, and had a long
quarantine near Damietta, in a bad locality, and with bad
accommodations ; the consequence was illness, the place
being feverish, and one of the party died afterwards at
Cairo. There is no end to absurdities in this country,
under pretence of quarantine ; and the worst of it is our
new Consul-General does not protest stoutly against
them. Conciliation is the order of the day.
The Pacha is still in Upper Egypt.
The custom house of Alexandria is crammed with im-
ported goods. Anything may come iu, but nothing al-
lowed to go out till his Excellency Boghas Bey has
heard from the Pacha. The object is, to levy the new
duty, under the Turkish commercial treaty, of five per
cent. ad valorem on the contents of the Custom-house,
instead of the old duty of three per cent. Here, as in
Syria, they are ready enough to lay on whatever the
treaty sanctions, without taking off an iota of what was
levied before internally. The commercial treaty was
fudged on the public at home as something wonderful,
but, so far as Egypt and Syria are concerned, it is very
injurious to foreign trade. Turkish goods, or those
coining from Turkish ports, are treat-ea here as foreign,
and pay foreign import duty ; nay, they even levy 12
per cent. as the export duty. from Turkey, unless pro-
vided with certificates of having paid it before export.
Our latest dates are London 6th, Marseilles 11th, Malta
and Constantinople 17th inst. Bombay Ist inst.

Seven tribes on the bankS of the Tafna have made
their submission to the French Regency at Algiers.
The chiefs in alliance with France were everywhere
defeating the adherents of Abd-el-Kader. Lieutenant
Pelle had returned to Algiers on the 6th instant, from
a razzia among the tribes of the East. The victorious
Lieutenant reckoned among his spoils 800 sheep, and
1,800 head of cattle. In his wars with the disarmed
and defenceless peasantry he had shot twenty Kabyles,
thus covering the French name with immortal glory (?)
We ask for the hundredth time, is not such a buccaneer-
ing mode of warfare as this a burning shame to France ?
The Moniteur publishes a report to the King from the
Minister of the Marine and the Colonies, dated the 15th
inst., on the disasters occasioned by the overflowing of
the Senegal, representing that all the places on each
bank of the river had been so entirely flooded that the
inhabitants were obliged to traverse the streets in boats ;
that the current had thrown down several houses ; that
the Government warehouses, as well as those of private
individuals, were more than three feet under water; that
the shops were all closed, commerce at a stand, the
Courts unable to sit, and in fine, there had been a com-
plete stagnation of all business. The report concludes
with a recommendation that the subsidy for Senegal, of
320,000 f., granted by the budget for 1842, should be in-
creased to 500,000 f. This proposition is approved by his
Majesty, and the Report is followed by a Royal Ordon-
nance granting the additional credit of 180,000 E to the
Minister of Marine and Colonies to meet the urgency
stated.

The Court of Peers in Thursday and Friday's secret
Sitting pronounced the guilt of Quenisset Boncheron,
Colombier, Brazier, Petit, Jarrasse, Launois, Boggie,
Mallet, Dufaur for the attempt, Quenissett as principal
and the remainder as accomplices.
A telegraphic dispatch in Saturday's Moniteur an-
nounces that M. de Salvandy and the persons composing
the new French Embassy in Madrid, entered that capital
on the morning of the 12th inst. The evening Moniteur
states that they had been well received on the entire road.
The Madrid Gazette, of the 11th inst., publishes an
amnesty of the Regent for all private soldiers who took
parkin the revolt of the 7th of October. The officers
are excepted.

s Private accounts from Athens, dated 30th ult., state
that France had at last consented to pay the million of
francs demanded by the Greek Government. The Am-
bassadors of Austria and Russia are almost openly at war
ith the present Greek Government, and vie with one
another in their attention to Mavrocordato and his
friends.

ELECTIONEERING.

At the Meeeting of the Members of the." Borough of
Marylebone Reform and Registration Society" onthurs,
day, it was unanimously resolved that' the Msoeialion
should indemnify the Committee .against tholability,of
its debt of 2001., and the Society was ordetedt ear-
tied on. Notwithstanding the taunts of' ttlF,Atiprints
upon the distressed state of the Society, it .lisinspArbi dur-
ing the evening that the position of 44"t3d1Vievative
rival in Wigmore•street, was just doubly. tkpliKble.

LAW AND POLICE.
A Commission of Lunacy was held on Friday at
Hornsey Wood Tavern, to inquire into the state of mind.
of Mr. Charles Carter, in possession of property in the
Isle of St. Vincent, and now confined in Northumber-
land House Asylum, Stoke Newington. The Jury found
that he was of unsound mind sinc3 April, 1829.
Robert Woods, Isaac Jaques, and Thomas Molyneux,
have been found guilty of the wilful murder of Mr.
Grayson, of St. Helens, and committed for trial at the
next assizes.

On Friday John Graham, a respectable carpenter, was
charged at Greenwich Police-office with wilfully breaking
a street gas-lamp, in order to pass his Christmas in
prison. He had come from Canterbury, and had had
nothing to eat for twenty-six hours. The Magistrate
remarked on the wickedness of destroying property
which had nothing to do with his sufferings, and com
mitted him to seven days' imprisonment and hard labour.
A gentleman of fortune, named Wyllie, who has been
already brought up three times for assaulting strangers
in the streets, appeared on Friday again at Marlbo-
_rough-street, charged with assailing with a stick Mr.
Bull, landlord of a public-house, in Tothill fields. The
prisoner began by mimicking some habitual motions of
Mr. Bull, and when spoken to, struck him severely. The
Magistrate urged that as the repetitions of the offence
were becoming serious, appeal should be made to the
sessions, and the defendant was ordered to find two
sureties for his appearance.
The three men, Steptoe, Sharman, and Griffin, charged
with robbing Ward's Chipping Norton waggon, were
finally examined at Guildhall on Friday, and fully com-
mitted.

SMALL NOTES ISSUED BY SEVERAL STATES.

Dollars. Market value.

Kentucky
Pennsylvania, circulating
1,700,000 authorised 3,000,000 90 do.
Maryland
Michigan
Total State money 11,100,000

This amount is equal to 10 per cent, of the paper cir-
culation of the Union, and is rapidly extending itself, and
thrusting the constitutional currency aside. The ave-
rage depreciation, it appears, is 67 cents, and the nomi-
nal value of 11,100,000 dols. is really worth in specie but
7,437,000 dols.

This feature of the credit system in a remarkable man-
ner illustrates the progress of the credit system in an
item of State indebtedness, which, though large, has
been but seldom taken into the account. It operates in
a direct manner as a tax upon the population, as ono of
the most onerous that can be put upon it, because 'it not
only takes money out of their pockets, but destroys their
credit and trade. The States have assumed and used
the power of issuing credits, and now they are both un-
able, and in some cases exhibit an indisposition, to pay.
If they have come to this pass, it is now high time that
they relinquish the right to the General Government of
contracting debts they are unable to pay, and thereby
dishonouring the country, destroying its trude and bring-
ing discredit upon the country whose free institutions are
looked up to with hope by the friends of political fredom
in all parts of the world. If State Governments com-
posing this hitherto glorious Union, are to practice the
swindling mountebank tricks of the late National Bank,
and its unprincipled abettors and supporters, it is time
that the people take the matter in hand. The community
have at the recent elections sustained President Tyler
almost en masse in his veto of the new National Bank,
projected by the corrupt participators in the old une.
Let them come forward now in a body and prevent the
States from becoming issuers of depreciated paper.

PROVINCIAL COLLEGES IN IRELAND.

A very long document has made its appearance in the
Cork papers in reference to the establishment of provin-
cial colleges in Ireland, to be founded upon the principle
of giving " industrial education" to the sons of the landed
gentry, in order the better to work out the objects for
which so many agricultural societies have been so re-
cently formed in this country. This production is written
by Mr. Thomas Wyse,. late Member .for the city of
Waterford and a Lord of the Treasury, who states that
his proposal had received the sanction of the Whig Go-
vernment, and that the question would have been brought
before Parliament as a Cabinet measure " if the Liberal
Ministry had not been obliged to resign." Mr. Wyse
also mentions that Lord Morpeth has ex-officially trans-
mitted the documents connected with these proceedings
to his successor, Lord Eliot, in whose possession they
now are.

Of the first class nothing that has yet transpired, or
that is nem in perspective, can effect their credit or di-
minish their means of paying, because the resources
yearly accruing are sufficient to meet the liabilities with-
out the danger of resorting to increased taxation. Con-
sequently their credit is every way equal to that of the
Federal Government. The second class are heavily in
debt, and there is no revenue to meet the yearly interest
but that of taxation.
