LEVANT MAIL.

We have received by the Levant Mail Constanti-
nople journals to the 4th, and Athens journals to the
7th. In the Journal de Constantinople there is a
slight notice of the dispute betwee❑ the Governor of
the Dardanelles and the Austrian Consul, of which
an account has been given from the German papers.
The Journal de Constantinople says—" The prudence
of the Porte, which is always equitable in its rela-
tions with its allies, is a guarantee that this difference
will be soon at an end, and that satisfaction will be
granted where it is due." The same journal mentions
a new instance of the tolerant spirit of the SULTAN
in matters of religion. Permission had been given
to the priest of the Greek persuasion at Beycos, a
village on the Bosphorus, to build a house which
should serve as a residence and for religious worship.
The work was advancing towards completion, when
some fanatic Turks attacked the building, and de-
stroyed it. On the fact coming to the knowledge of
the SULTAN, he immediately sent orders to arrest all
the offenders, and it is announced that they are to be
severely punished. There is nothing of importance in
the Athens journals.

MARKET N EWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE,-(FRIDAY.)
A full average time-of-year supply of English Wheat
—3,1110 quarters—has been received up to our market
this week coastwise. By land carriage and sample the
receipts to-day were comparatively small. Notwith_
staning that the actual quantity on offer was very mode-
rate, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce
was in a sluggish state, yet Monday's . prices were well
supported. Not a single cargo of foreign Wheat has been
reported; nevertheless, the show of samples, cx granary,
was tolerably good. All descriptions were held firmly
by the merchants; but the amount of business doing was
limited. The arrival of floating cargoes off the coast
has been unusually small. Upwards of 9,000 quarters
of English Barley having come to hand; the trade for
that article was heavy, and late rates were with
difficaty supported. No foreign arrivals. Malt was in
good supply and heavy inquiry at late rates. The supply
of Oats being small, that grain was held at full quota-
tions. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn were almost
nominal. A large quantity of foreign Flour-1,780
sacks and 19,290 barrels—has come in this week. The
trade was, therefore, less active, at previous currencies.

CAPTAIN PENNY'S REPLIES.

Question.—Do you suppose it probable that Sir
John Franklin, or any portion of the crew com-
posing his expedition, still survive ? if so, in what
direction ?

Answer.—l do think it possible that Sir Joh❑
Franklin and his crews or a portion of them may still
survive. My grounds for thinking so are, first, my
knowledge of the habits of the Exquimaux, who live
to a good old age in an equally inhospitable climate ;
the same mode of procuring food which the &qui-
maux have is open to our countrymen, who have
amongst them men, Mainely, 131anky, M'Donald, and
Bead, well acquainted with the means employed by
Esquimaux in obtaining food.

Secondly. Independently of their guns and snares
they could subsist by fishing for seals, walrus, nar-
wals (till of which I saw in Victoria Channel), and
possibly whales; this can be done by harpoon and
lance, and drags; there are also thousands of
eider and duck which may be easily snared upon
their nests in the season. It may not be out of place
here to mention that on one small island on the east
side of Davis's Straits during my last voyage we
loaded a whale boat with eggs, and might have done
so again and again if they had been in season ; and
from what fell under my observation I have no doubt

MONUMENT TO WEBER.—The committee for the

Carl Maria von Weber, notwithstanding that the necessary
funds are wanting, has been so bold, confiding in the pa-
triotism of the Germans, as to order the execution of the

Reitschel, which will afterwards be cast in bronze. Will

a serious accident while hunting on Saturday with Lord

David's leg, broke it.—Kelso

CHRISTMAS DAY IN THE WORKHOUSES..--Thn in-

were yesterday, according to annual custom, regaled with a

At Demerara the weather has been highly favour..
able to the crops. There are, however, signs that a
change is about to takeplace, and the wet season usual
at this season of the year to set in.
Abstracts of the census of the population taken on
the 31st of March last have been published by order
of the Government. According to the returns the
total population of the colony amounted at the end
of March to 127,695 persons, 97,554 of whom con-
stituted our rural population, and the remaining
30,141 our urban. Of those 97,554, 50,259 were
inhabitants of Demerara, 24,925 of Essequibo, and
13erbice ; while of the 30,141 persons resi-
thfe town, 25,508 belonged to Georgetown,
and 4,633

disparity between the sexes, though, owing to the

importations of late years of Coolie immigrants, *ho
are mostly males, there is an excess of males over fe-
males. Of the total number of 127,0105, 86,461 are

GERMANY.

The Solver Zeitung statesfron;Frankfort of the
16th inst., that G
eneral ROTHVON SCHRECKEN-
STEIN has arrivedin that city, and entered upon his
functions as Commander-in-Chief of the Federal
army. The various contingents of the German States
will remain in their respective territories, but ar-
rangements have been made to concentrate them in
a very short space of time at Frankfort, where Gene-
ral ROTH has established the head-quarters of his
corps.
The publication in the Kolner Zeitung of two ad-
vertisements by the Peace Society has induced the
Prussian Government to proceed against that
journal. The incriminated advertisements are trans-
lations of Elihu Burrit's "Olive Leaves for the
People." The editors of the Kolner Zeitung have
consequently been condemned to pay a fine of 50
thalers. _ _

The archives of the late German Parliament at
Frankfort, its library, and other goods and chattels
belonging to that defunct body, have been seized by

chief. After the prisoner left the child was again
seized with sickness and diarrlacea, but not so violent
as before. The next visit of the prisoner was on
Saturday last, when she asked if she could have a
room to herself. Witness told her the drawing-
rooms were let, and she had no room except a bed-
room, where she would be alone. She accepted that,
and the baby was taken to her. She said she was
very glad to see the baby so much better. Witness
left the room, and on her return the prisoner was
nursing the child, and again said it was
inclined to be sick. The baby vomited,
and had diarrhoea afterwards ; but not so violent,
and it seemed very weak and prostrate. The pri-
soner called again
last Tuesday. She appeared very
excited. She inquired if she could have a room alone.
Before that, on going into the parlour, witness found
the prisoner in a corner of the room with the child in
her arms, where she could not be seen from the shop.
A police inspector was in the shop, but prisoner did
not know it. She was afterwards in the bedroom
about twenty minutes with the child. When the
child was brought down to witness, she found it had
been sick over its nightgown. The child was very
prostrate afterwards, and suffered from sickness and
diarrbcea, and remains very ill now. The nightgown
and napkins were given to the police inspector. The
child appeared, also, on these occasions to have a dif-
ficulty in swallowing.
Cross-examined by Mr. Hellings—The prisoner
came to my house on the 9th of June, and was confined
on the following day. Once or twice the baby sucked
to relieve the mother ; that was all. She did not con-
tinue to suck for ten days. 1 don't know how long 1
she did. I can't swear anything about it. When she
used to suckle her the baby was fed upon milk and
water. During the month the baby had tops and bot-
toms and different foods. Mr. Lawrence was applied
to by the prisoner to recommend a nurse for a month.
I said I had no objection to take charge of the child
myself, as Mrs. Slater said she was going to London,
and that was agreed to. She appeared to be very
fond of the baby, and I think it likely she told me
to take all possible care of it. She made me a present
of a shawl before she left. When she left she did
not say " Mind take care of the baby." She directed
me to inform her if anything happened to the baby,
and I would not swear she did not give me directions
if it was ill to call in Mr. Lawrence. She came to
see the baby about a fortnight after she left, but I do
not know that my husband wrote to her first. I
believe not. The baby never would retain much
milk on her stomach ; she was sick when she took
much ; she would never retain it. Tops and bottoms
and arrowroot were given it—the former are farina-
ceous food manufactured entirely for babies. I swear
the prisoner never wrote to me requesting that I
would get lievelenta. We got Revelenta for the baby.
When we get letters of no importance we destroy
them at once generally.
The proceedings, which had lasted nearly six hours,
were then adjourned.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The benefit of Mr. F. Webster took place at this
theatre last evening, and he had a bumper, which he
well deserves. So densely was the home filled that
many persons were unable to obtain admittance. The
performance commenced with Sheridan Knowles's
play of Love, in which Mr. W. Morgan, a pupil of
Mr. F. Webster, made his first appearance before a
metropolitan audience in the character of Huon, and
by his performance proved that he had been educated
is a good echool ; he was much applauded through-
out. The Countess Eppenstein of Miss Reynolds was
full of pathos and energy, and she achieved a brilliant
and most deserved success, and was several times called
on. Miss Emma Harding, who has hitherto been known
to the play-going public as exclusively a votary of
Thalia, made her first appearance as a worshipper of
the tragic muse, in the character of the Empress ; she
acted the part with great dignity, her recitation was
admirable, and she looked the haughty Empress to
the life. Miss Cooper, as Catherine, was full of arch
and graceful espieglierie; she made every point tell,
and was honoured with a call at the conclusion. The
opera of the Sonnambula followed, and the perform-
ances concluded with the farce of the Unfinished
Gentleman.

A FEMALE LAWYER

At the Colchester Registration Court, a short
time since, William Greenwood, a Conservative
elector, was objected to by the Radicals, on the ground
of insufficient value of his house. Mrs. Greenwood
stated that she rented a house, piece of garden, and a
pump in Cistern-yard, North hill, for which she paid
271. 103. In cross-examination by Mr. Philbrick, Mrs.
Greenwood said the pump stood in a yard common to
other houses ; that the value of her house alone was
about 51., and that the annual rent she paid for the
pump was 201. His Honour said a pump was cer-
tainly a very queer thing to give a vote, but it might
do so for aught he knew at present.—(Laughter.)
Mrs. Greenwood, in reply to Mr. Phil brick, added
that the garden almost immediately adjoined the house,
the gate by which it was entered being close by it.
His Honour said the only question was whether the
pump could be considered appurtenant to the house,
there being nothing to connect it with it. The pump
could hardly be considered in the nature of a building.
Mrs. Greenwood—l beg your pardon, sir; it is a
copper pump, and cased in wood ; so that it is a build-
ing. There is a large cistern and two pumps at-
tached to it, which are covered in.—(Laughter).
Mr. Church said it might appear yet, if the good
woman's description were right, that the pump did
come within the description of a building.
His Honour—Yes ; it appears that this lady is a
better lawyer than either of us.—(Laughter.)
After a further description of the property, his
Honour said he was afraid he should not understand
it properly unless he went to look at it.
Mrs. Greenwood—l really wish you would, sir.
His Honour—l will then, for as she describes it it
appears to me a very good building.—(Laughter.)
As the good lady left the court she again urged his
Honour would make a personal inspection of the place.
His Honour—Very well ; I will call and see you
again.—(Renewed laughter.)
It appears that his Honour punctually kept his en-
gagement, and on the following day in court gave
a description of the pump upon which the voter
claimed as part of his occupation, and said he
was of opinion that, from its peculiar construc-
tion, it might fairly coma under the deno-
mination " building," and a much more valuable one,
too, for the particular uses to which it was applied,
than many a miserable shed, used only perhaps as a
tool-house, which frequently assisted to qualify a
voter. The value of the entire occupation was then
beyond question, and therefore the vote might be al-
lowed.—Essex Paper.

ESCAPE OF A BURGLAR.

fhlt‘ri,ueohsllmek.trsewt, be remembered that at the last Sussex as-
sizes, John Isaacs, the last captured of the daring
gang who committed numerous burglaries in Sussex
and Surrey, and a portion of whom were concerned in
the Fricaley murder, was sentenced to transportation
for life at Kirdfend, on the borders of the two court-

The circumstances connected with the escape and re-
capture are thus described in a report of the governor
of the prison presented yesterday (Monday) to the
East Sussex Michaelmas sessions, where the Earl of
Chichester presided :--" Since writing the former part
of this report, two convicts, John Isaacs, one of the
notorious gang of burglars under sentence of trans-
portation for life, and Henry Ade, under sentence of
transportation for fifteen years, made their escape
from prison, but were retaken and brought back in a
very tew minutes after they left it. This took place
about six o'clock on the morning of Saturday last, the
11th instant. They made their escape by rushing
past turnkey George Cox, who had the prison door a
little open to admit the prison officers, who had
been sleeping out for the night and who were
returning to their duty. These convicts having
concealed themselves in a corner at the end of the
lodge, near the prison-door, made an instantaneous
rush into the street, knocked Cox aside in passing,
and when outside, ran in opposite directions. I after-
wards found that Isaacs, between nine and ten o'clock
on the preceding night, by means of a key made of
wood, unlocked his cell gate, and also contrived to
open the wooden door of his cell, which enabled him
to get into the passage of the ward. After he got out
of his own cell he opened, with his wooden key, the
gate of Ade's cell, and let him out also. After prowl-
iug about the prison all night, concealing themselves
at times in the different corners and hiding-places to
evade the observation of the watchman, and having
attempted to dig a hole through the boundary wall,
at the back of the debtors' prison, which they failed in
accomplishing fully, though they took out several
bricks, they resorted to the stratagem above-named.
H. Blackman, Esq , visiting justice, after investigat-
ing the circumstances, and taking the evidence of
myself, and turnkeys George Cox and John Parney,
upon oath, ordered Isaacs to be kept in irons for se-
curity until removed by order of the Secretary of
State. Henry Ade, the other prisoner, who is a boy
only seventeen years old, and who was let out of his
his cell by Isaacs, and acted only under his directions,
is not punished." After some conversation the ma-
gistrates referred the case to the visiting justices, to
take the necessary steps to render the present prison
secure in the interim which will elapse before the
new gaol is completed.

THE TRIAL OF SPENCER AND GRITTON.
(Concluded from our Afternoon Edition.)
The case for the prosecution being closed,
Mr. Ballantine for Spencer, and DA r. Giffard for Grit-
ton, addressed thejury at considerable length, and called
witnesses to show that the prisoners were of excellent
character and. conduct. Neither on their persons nor in
their lodgings were there any evidences of their posses-
sing more money than their lawful means would supply,
and they kept regular and early hours.
After a long review of the facts by the Judge, the
jury deliberated for forty minutes, and returned a ver-
dict of " Not Guilty," at four o'clock.
There are some other indictments against both pri-
soners, on which they are detained.

LYCEUM THEATRE.

This theatre closed its doors last night, the occasion
being the benefit of Madame Vestris. No official
speech was delivered, but Mr. Charles Mathews was
called before the curtain at the end of tne Game of
Speculation, and was loudly and enthusiastically
cheered. The Lyceum, we have reason to believe,
has profited, as well as other establishments devoted
to the public amusement, by the inordinate influx
of strangers into the metropolis. The nightly
attendances have been large to a degree, and upon
many occasions numbers of individuals were turned
away from the doors. The reputation that the
management of Madame Vestris enjoyed brought
forth its legitimate fruit, and the elegance and taste
which have always identified her managerial sway in
former times were more than exemplified by the
aspect and sentiment of the pieces which
have been played. Madame Vestris has in-
variably been celebrated for care and libe-
rality in carrying out the duties of a lesseeship,
and her past career at the Lyceum is but an additional
instance of the delicacy of artistic feeling by which
she has ever been animated. Wherever she sets foot
as a manager, there do we find improvement in all
that appertains to ensemble and embellishment.
Presses, scenery, and appointments, alike bear witness
to the sensitiveness of her taste, the shrewdness of her
judgment, and the freedom of her expenditure. The
King of the Peacocks and King Charming have in
particular memorably demonstrated these qualities,
and we need hardly point to them as unrivalled spe-
cimens of spectacular decorations. This has been
universally allowed, end their popularity, conse-
quently, has been unbounded. But the same types
of brilliant and alluring completeness have marked all
the holiday productions at the Lyceum, and it is
unfair to make exceptions. The 'vaudevilles which
have from time to time appeared in 1851 have been
adaptations from the French, and, prepared chiefly
with a view to illustrate the elastic and vivacious
gaieties of Mr. Charles Mathews, they have worn a
special and inviting peculiarity.

AMERICAN BALLOON DISASTER.

The balloon ascennion of Mr. S. A. Dinh,Thursday
afternoon, from the Zoological Garden, at Fairmount,
WAS a terrific affair indeed. Just before six o'clock Mr.
Icing stepped into his car, but finding that the gas was
not sufficient to take him up, he threw out all his ballast,
and he arose a few feet from the ground. His car was
held by a slender cord, and just as it was about to be
cut loose, the car was dashed with some violence against
one of the sheds of the enclosure. The people rushed
and caught hold of the net ropes and pulled the balloon
back into the enclosure. He said he was determined to
go, if the gas was sufficiently powerful to take him, and
off he started again.
This time he arose over the enclosure and came in
contact with the Wire-bridge. He soon became extri-
cated, but struck the telegraphic wire, which held him
some time. Presently he became loose, struck another
part of the bridge, and finally went down plump into the
waters of the Schuylkill. Au exciting and terrible scene
was enacted. The balloon bounced up and down, and
in this way proceeded for several bundr,d yards. Every
time it descended Mr. King would be plunged in, appa-
rently up to his neck in the water.
The people on shore ran in every direction; several
boats put out to the assistance of Mr. King, but from all
we cs.n learn he arrived on the shure on the opposite side
of the river, more frightened, perhaps, than hurt.
This was the first attempt on the part of Mr. King to
make an aerial voyage.—Pennsylvanian.

instruction occasioned by the approprition of St. John's

" WHAT ARE TRIBUNALS OF COMMERCE ?"—The
question is one that is now generally asked by many
who have had their attention directed to a subject
brought forward under the auspices of a very influ-
ential committee, who are desirous of obtaining a
cheap and expeditious mode of dealing with such
questions of mercantile and commercial law as may
from day to day arise throughout the country. The
object is undoubtedly good. The parties wish to have
pure justice administered according to the real merits
of every case, and without its being possible that it
should be defeated by technicalities. Such is also
our desire and that of every legal reformer through-
out the length and breadth of the land. We shall
not, however, say that the proposed plan is that best
calculated to attain the great desideratum. That is
another question which will demand closer considera-
tion,fo and a more lengthened notice than our space this
