DUTCH PAPERS.

AIISTERDAM, AUG. B.—The collection made here
yesterday for the sufferers by the fire in the Turfnioor. in
the province of Guringen, produced the sum of 6,034
flu ins.

THE HAGUE, Auc. 7.—We hear that the conferences
at London and the political negotiations continue. They
have, however, not yet led to any satisfactory result ;
many important points of difference are subjects of the
deliberations of the Plenipotentiaries of the great Powers.
Th it relative to the Scheldt is among the principal. It
seems that there is a very great diversity of opinion re
Emceeing the toll to he levied en that river. Above all,
however, the great question of Luxemburg is to be de-
rided, and the Conference is said to have expresses! its
wish that efforts should he made on our side to obtain the
consent of the German Diet, or of the collet ral branches
of the house of Nassau, to a &vision of the Grand Duchy.
It is not known whether this wish has been acceded to; if
not, it is supposed that •he German Diet itself may take
the first step towards opening a negotiation.

We have a series of Java papers from the 29,11 of Ja-
nuary to the 19th of February. They mention a severe
shock of an earthquake which was felt at Batavia on the
28th of January, at noon. A few house• were damaged,
and the old Lutheran church much injured. Many of
the inhabit ,nts alarmed by the con,inual shocks, left their
houses, and remained in the open air till the earthquake
was over. They had accounts from Europe till the latter
end , f O,•roher. 1832.

ELOPEMENT IN HIGH LIFE.—I❑ a letter
from a merchant at Pera, a suburb of Constantinople, it is
stated that the Grand Seienor's favourite Sult,na, the
Empress Etimnas, has eloped from the S raglio with a
young Russian Offieer of the Chasseurs of Novogorod.

Don CARLOS is said to be still at Lisbon,
declining to embark in a Spanish veshel, and has express d
a desire to be conveyed to Naples in an Engli-h ship of
tsar. MIGUEL has taken care to provide himself with
th • means of conveyance from Portueal. The steamers
George the Fourth is detained at the mouth of the Minim.

MR. MARTIN'S ACT.—(From a Corres-
pondent.)—The officers of the " Animals' Friend So-
ciety" have just been very useful in bringing up mime,.
roue cases of the donkey drivers, &c., at Margate and
adjacent places for gross cruelty to their asses. HENRY
BROCKMAN, Joni; GILL, and NEWING, were par-
doned with a reprimand, on account of their youth,
though the stick they had used was covered with blood ;
but JOHN COWARD, ARTHUR HEWETT, and another
driver, were convicted by Mr. PRETHOLICK. They have
also taken out a warrant against STEPHEN PILCHER, for
having used an ass with uncommon barbarity. The poor
animal, which appeared half starved, was covered with
wounds, Mr. W. ADAMS, with great humanity interfered,
and caused the ass to be released from his load, and be
furni.hed with food and straw, which was supplied af-
terwards by the Society for eight days, when the keeper
was obliged to put an end to its sufferings.
On the night of the first representation of
Ali Baba a friend of CHERUBIM, after the termination of
the performance, hastened to his residence to congratulate
him on his triumph. He knodied several times at the
door, and no one came to answer it. At length, after
waiting a considerable time, a servant, half asleep, made
h
is appearance, and with a bewildered air inquired Who
wanted his master at that unusual hour ? at the same time
begging be might not he disturbed. The fact was CHERU-
BINI was riund ash ep, having retired to rest at ten
o'clock, at the very hour when the elite of Paris was as-
sembled at the Opera, and loudly demanding bit appear-
ance. This incident is perfectly characteristic of CHE-
RUBIM. He had completed his career in art, and be
calmly awaited the justice that was his due. He
slumbered tranquilly, never doubting that, sooner or
later, living or dead, justice would be rendered to WM."'"
