On Monday last a public dinner was given to the members
for the borough of Birmingham, Thomas Attwood, Esq., and
Joshua Scholefield, Esq., in Beardsworth's Repository. Pre-
parations, on the most extensive scale, were made for this en-
tertainment, and the day was looked forward to with great
interest. The tickets, which were issued at a moderate price,
were eagerly purchased, and by Saturday last about 3,000
were sold.

After the Chairman, Mr. G. EDMONDS, had proposed " The
King and the People," he introduced, with an appropriate
speech, " The health of the Members."
Mr. SCHOLEFIELD, in returning thanks, took an opportunity
of alluding to the vote which he had given with respect to the
Poor Law Bill, in these terms :—To his dying hour it would
be a satisfaction to him to know that he had opposed it—
( Loud applause)—and would also be a satisfaction to his chil-
dren after his death to know, that the name of their father
could not be pointed out in the majorities which carried that
Bill.—( Applause.) It was impossible to look at that law
without abhorrence. It was a law which went to deprive the
poor of their most sacred and inalienable rights.—( Cheers.)
As to the clause relating to bastardy, he should say but little.
It was an un-English clause. The mind of Englishmen re-
volted at it, and justly so ; for base, indeed, would be the man
who would wish to throw the whole of the burden upon the
woman. It had been said by many that the law of Elizabeth
had given the poor greater claims than those possessed by the
poor of any other country. He admitted it, and in place of
viewing it as an argument against the law, he always viewed
the privileges which it extended as being in favour of it, and
calculated to reflect the greatest credit upon the country. It
was clear why they did not interfere with the pension list.
Their own families were living upon it, and hence it could not
be touched. Why, he would ask, did they not put on a pro-
perty tax ?—( Applause.) Why not make the rich pay for the
support of the poor ? Was it not better that the rich should
pay, who could afford to pay, rather than the poor should
famish ?

Mr. T. ATTSA'OOD, in returning thanks, entered at great
length into his Parliamentary conduct. In the course of his
address he said, " I will not congratulate you too much on the
Bill of Reform thus obtained, because I know it has disappointed
your expectations and mine.--( Loud cheers.) It has given us
a House of Commons but little better, lam sorry to acknow-
ledge, than the old concern. Some few good men, it is most
true, there are in Parliament, but it is with deep and bitter
regret that I acknowledge that the majorities have generally
been as servile and selfish as in former Houses. ( Hear, hear. )
When I entered Parliament I expected to meet bands of
patriots animated with the same interests as the people, feel-
ing for theit wrongs and oppressions, and determined to re-
dress and relieve them. I almost regretted that I had had a
hand in the Reform, when I saw troops of sycophants and
time-servers who seemed only anxious to regard their own
selfish interests, and to destroy the very system of liberty and
Reform from which they themselves had drawn their existence.

( Shame, shame). These gentlemen, you may well believe,
were not very partial to me ; they looked upon me in some
light as a cow looks upon another cow's calf—as a stranger
out of my place—a mere Birmingham tradesman, very dis-
agreeable in their eyes. The Hon. Gentleman then went on
to speak of the Poor Law Bill, which be designated to be
" an atrocious measure ;" and, after noticing other proceed-
ings in Parliament, he alluded to the change made in the
Cabinet in these terms :—" The Cabinet has been lately much
improved ; such men as Mr. Ellice, Mr. Spring Rice, Sir
John Hobhouse, Lord Duncannon, and Mr. Abercromby, are
very different men from Stanley and Graham. They have
never forfeited any pledges to the people—they understand
the situation of the people—they have every interest and
every inducement to excite them to do justice to the people.
I enterta'n, therefore, great hopes that a better day is about
to dawn upon our country."—( Cheers. )
An address of a flattering description from the Friendly So-
cieties of Birmingham was afterwards presented to the two
Hon. Gentlemen.

In the course of the evening the following toast was given :
" Unfortunate and heroic Poland—May the day be not dis-
tant when the honour and interest of England will be vindi-
cated in the complete restoration of Polish liberty and inde-
pendence."
General UMINSKI replied with great energy to this toast in
the French language, of a portion of which the following is a
translation :—" Permit me, although a stranger to the Eng-
lish language, to yield to the desires of my heart, and express
to you the happiness that I feel in assisting at this truly na-
tional banquet, where so many citizens are assembled to show
their gratitude to two men who, by their private virtues as well
as by their public lives, have merited their esteem. At the
same time that I express to you my thanks for the honnur you
have done me in allowing me to assist at your meeting, permit
me to add my gratitude for the sympathy you have expressed
for our misfortunes in presenting a petition in our favour.
Gentlemen, raise once more your voices in a cause which is
that of humanity, and your Government cannot longer remain
the tranquil witness of those barbarities which are the disgrace
of the century."
Several other toasts were given, and the company did not
separate until a late hour.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF STEINBERG,

AND THE LATE MURDERS.

It appears that about twelve years ago Mr. Lefevre, the
father of the murdered woman, was in respectable circum-
stances, carrying on the trade of a bookseller in Soho-
square, but occupying a suit of apartments at the house of
Mr. Mace, Carriage and Carriage-wheel Depot, No. 1,
York-square, New-road. Having met with various disap-
pointments, he addicted himself to excessive drinking, and
he became desponding, in which state he committed suicide,
and was found hanging in a thick grove near Primrose-hill,
quite dead. His family became exceedingly embarrassed,
and were greatly assisted by Mr. Mace, who allowed them to
live in his house. They had been on veryintimate terms with
Mr. and Mrs. Steinberg, the latter of whom commiserating the
situation of Mrs. Lefevre and her family, proposed receiving
Ellen Lefevre into her hotise, not as a servant, but to live with
them in a friendly manner. Steinburg consented to this,
and the girl, who was only fifteen years of age at the time,
accepted the offer and entered the house, where she was
treated with the utmost attention and kindness. The son
of Steinberg went to a boarding-school at Hampstead, and
whenever Steinberg went to visit him he was invariably ac-
companied by Ellen Lefevre, at the suggestion of his wife,
and on one of those journeys he was supposed to have se-
duced her. Many circumstances occurred to excite a sus-
picion in the mind of Mrs. Steinberg that there was some-
thing wrong between them. .He was in the constant habit
of making her presents of valuable trinkets, necklaces,
shawls, &c., and treating her with far more attention than
his wife, and on more than one occasion he treated Mrs. S.
abruptly, and took out Lefevre to walk with him in pre-
ference to her, and kept her out till late hours at night.
On this intimacy being discovered Mrs. Steinberg ordered
her to quit the house, when she went to reside with her
mother, in Eitzroy-place, Fitzroy-square, where she was
was prevented seeing Steinberg some time, and was kept
locked up in her apartment. She, however, declared that
she loved Steinberg dearly in consequence of his kindness
and attention towards her, and that she could not live
without him. Steinberg at length sought an opportunity,
when he watched Mrs. Lefevre from home, on which he
burst open the door and released her from her confinement,
and took her to the house of Mr. Marshal, ironmonger, of
the Hampstead-road, where she cohabited with him and
became enciente, and eventually she became the mother of
two children, which were weaned by Lefevre's mother, who
afterwards forgave her. In consequence, however, of a
quarrel Steinberg forbad Mrs. Lefevre visiting her daughter,
and she afterwards heard or saw nothing of her until about
four months ago, when she heard that he had gone to Ger-
meny with Steinberg and her family, and that they were
murdered by him on their return to England.
Mrs. Steinberg, who resides in Leigh-street, Burton-
crescent, is an Englishwoman, and appears to be in respect-
able circumstances. She speaks in high terms of the mild-
ness of the disposition of her deceased husband when with
her. He was in the habit of allowing her 2/. 10s. per quar-
ter. He went to Germany about a law-suit, and prior to
quitting England, he intended to have gone by himself, and
leave Lefevre and the children at the house in Southamp-
ton-street, Pentonville. Lefevre, however, could not bear
the idea of being left by him, and begged of him to take her
and the children with him. He at length consented to take
her and the children with him.

Mrs. Steinberg expresses an opinion that Lefevre agreed
with Steinberg to commit suicide and murder the children,
as she was aware that she had been the cause of his ruin.
She says that she is sure such was the case.

THE RAVAGES OF WAR.--AS illustrative of this
subject, we find in Le Sauveur a Greek and French journal
published at Nauplia (and for which we return thanks to a
kind though unknown friend), the melancholy statement, that
whereas the district of Argolis and Corinth contained more
than 600,000 inhabitants, its population is now reduced to
89,130. The district of Nauplia, says the writer, contains one
principal town, one market•town, 24 villages, and 2,551 fami-
lies ; Corinthia, 13 market-towns, 83 villages, and 5,553 fami-
lies ; the province of Trezene, one principal town, one market-
town, 19 villages, and 21 families ; Hydra, one principal town,
one hamlet, and 2,663 families ; and lastly, the province of
Hermione, two principal towns, two market-towns, two villages,
in all 17,826 families, which, calculating each at five indivi-
duals, gives the above-mentioned number.—Athemzurn.

The following persons are mention. - as likely to form part
of the New Spanish Ministry :-1, Count Toreno, who will
remain at the head of the Finance Department, with the un-
derstanding that he will modify his plan, and propose a system
of resources for the redemption of the foreign debt, which ho
did wrong not to present at once. 2, M. de Florida Blanca,
or Aghostino Arguelles, at the head of the Foreign Depart-
ment. 3, General Valdez at the head of the War Department.
4, M. GillB2doe,
underof the Assembly in 1821, and, in 1823, Minister of Justice.

He is a man of distinguished merit ; he has in his pos-
sessionthe autographic minute of Ferdinand the Seventh's
manifesto, published at Cadiz on the thirtieth day of
September, 1823, and which it will be proposed to take
as the foundation for the grant of the future constitution.
5, M. Calatrava to be Minister of Justice. No one is men-
tioned for the Navy, but this department is scarcely of any im-
portance in Spain. According to this arrangement the coun-
try would lose the services of two very honorable men—M.
Martinez de la Rosa and M. Garelli. But sooner or later they
will reappear on the political stage. The last mentioned.
individual, who has in no way compromised himself, and whose
conduct has always been decidedly progressive, would seem
to be destined to a longer ministerial career. We learn from
Lyons that M. Arguelles, who left Paris on Monday, the Bth
inst., stayed 24 hours in the first-mentioned city, accompanied.
by his friend M. Martin de los Heros. They afterwards re-
sumed their journey to Perpignan, Barcelona, and Madrid,
where M. Arguelles goes to take his seat in the Chamber of
Procuradores, unless his known political opinions and acknow-
ledged talents do not at ohce cause him to assume ,a more ele-
vated position.
(From the Sentinelle des Pyrenees.)
We are informed by a letter from Aldudes-, dated Septem-
ber 7, that 700 to 800 peasants are incessantly employed at
Elisondo in raising fortifications mind the immense building
of the Misericordia. Two houses and a hermitage which
stood too near the intrenchments have been demolished. The
chateau of Patria-Jaureguia, belonging to Martin Luis Etche-
varria, formerly Alcade Mayor of Bastan, and member of the
insurrectionary junta of Navarre, was yesterday burnt likewise,
though situated beyond the reach of shot. A battalion, com-
manded by Lieutenant-Colonel Zugarramurdi, will keep the
garrison of the Misericordia.

(Prom Galignani's Messenger.)
The Sentinelk des Pyrenees of Bayonne of the 12th insc.
says—" A great many Spaniards have arrived here from Pam-
peluna and Elisondo, driven away by the cholera. They have
all been sent into the interior, except the widow of Santos
Ladron who came with a regular passport. General Rodil
has levied upwards of 20,000 ducats upon the suspected in-
habitants of Elisondo, amongst whom are four priests. The
highest assessment made upon any individual was 6,000 ducats-
Zugarramurdi was there."
The France Meridionale of Toulouse of the 11th inst. has
the following :—" M. Gaillard, of Bayonne, who came here,
it is said, for the purpose of purchasing arms, has just been
arrested, as having been connected with the seizure of arms
made at the mouth of the river at Bordeaux. He was in pos-
session of a very considerable sum of money, and armed with a
seven-barrelled gun fully charged."
The Augsburg Gazette of the 11th inst. quotes the Funds at
Vienna on the 6th, 5 per Cent. Metallics, 99 11-16 ; 4 per
Cent. ditto, 83 13-16 ; Bank Actions, 1,300.
The Suabian Mercury gives the following from Bruns-
wick under date of the 2d inst. :—" A general subject of
conversation here is a memorial, which Duke Ch arles has
published in the French language, in justification of his con-
duct, and more particularly with the view to repel accusations
laid against him by an adversary, in a writing also published.
in Paris. The memorial is written in the spirit of a man who
is a friend to the people, and an enemy to the aristocracy. The
Duke, at the same time, admits that he entertained the inten-
tion of landing 2,000 men in the north of Germany, in order
to regain his Duchy. The plan of this adventurous expedi-
tion was formed by a Polish General. Men were inrolled and
arms purchased, and the Duke candidly avows that he has not
abandoned his views, and declares that he only waits for a more
favourable opportunity, from a change in German politics, to
carry them into execution. Nothing in this production shows
the slightest disposition on the part of Duke Charles to come
to any understanding with his brother, Duke William, for a
formal resignation of his legitimate rights."
According to accounts from Switzerland of the 6th instant
the disasters occasioned by the late violent storms in the
Valais are being repaired. The Inspector-General of Bridges
and Roads has announced that the road over the Simplon
would be passable for light carriages on the 12th instant, and
those of the Valais, as well as those within the Sardinian terri-
tory, will shortly be rendered practicable for carriages of every
description. The mountain might be already passed on horse-
back, and the diligence ran as far as the village of the Simplon.
Letters from Alexandria of the 19th ult. give the following
details respecting the late events in Syria :—" Towards the
end of May an insurrection broke out in the mountains of
Naplous, Jerusalem, and Djebel-Kahlil, including all Pales-
tine and Galilee. The ostensible cause was a levy of soldiers
ordered by Ibrahim Pasha, but the real cause was the prohi-
bition made to the chiefs of the mountains to receive the
tribute they were in the habit of exacting from all
the pilgrims, whether Catholic, Armenian, Greek, Cop-
tic, or Jews, who went to visit the holy places. To
this may be added the treatment inflicted by Ibrahim
upon the famous Abou-Ghos, Chief of the Jerusalem moun-
tains, whom he had sent to the gallies of St. Jean d'Acre for
having transgressed this prohibition. The number of insur-
gents from that part of Syria is estimated at 25,000. Com-
motions had also broken out among the Anezes Arabs, to
the east of Jordan, and among the Ansaries, in the moun-
tains of Tripoli. A regiment of cavalry, which, for want of
disposable infantry, Ibrahim had sent against the Naplusians,
had been attacked in a defile, and was compelled to retreat,
leaving in the power of the enemy its baggage and a hundred
killed, among whom were the Colonel and two Captains. This
first check was followed by another still more disastrous. The
19th Infantry Regiment, that Ibrahim had sent for to Da-
mascus made an ill-directed attack upon the rebels, and was
repulsed with great loss. The Colonel and Lieutenant-
Colonel were killed at the commencement of the action. On
other points, however, where Ibrahim was iniperson, the insur-
gents were cut to pieces. In his letters to his father he an-
nounced the prospect of a speedy termination of the contest,
but Mehemet Alli was not so confident of success; Ho
entertained no doubt that emissaries had been, sent into
Syria, and that intrigues were going on for the purpose of
effecting a general insurrection. His resolution was promptly
formed. Conceiving that not a moment was to be lost, he
embarked for Jaffa on the 24th of June with a corps of about
8,000 picked men. His presence, and the arrival of this rein-
forcement, produced a rapid and decisive effect. The insur-
gent chiefs, struck with terror, or yielding to the influence of
means employed to disunite them, remained nearly inactive,
while Ibrahim continued to crush the insurrection by force of
arms. The fortified village of Zeitta, at seven or eight hours'
march from Naplous, was carried at the point of the bayo-
net ; two hours afterwards the mountaineers were vanquished
in a second encounter, and lost 400 of their men. After
this defeat all the villages submitted, and the Egyptian troops
entered Naplous without firing a shot. The population
which had taken part in the revolt were disarmed, and three
chiefs, who were caught in the very act of treason, were be-
headed by order of Mehemet Ali, who, on the other hand,
pardoned Abou-Ghos, and thereby attached to himself a man
of great influence among his countrymen. As to the Emir
Bichir, whose sentiments towards Mehemet were erro-
neously represented as equivocal, his master has had no rea-
son but to be satisfied with his zeal and fidelity. The Emir,
on learning the arrival of the Pasha in Syria, hastened to send
one of his sons to him. He himself undertook to punish the
Turks of Saphet, who had massacred a great number of
Jewish inhabitants of that town. 2,000 mountaineers of
Libanus, under the command of his second son, have since con-
curred in repressing the movements which had again broken
out among the Ansaries after the departure of Mehemet Ali
for Egypt. This was the last attempt at revolt, and at the
commencement of August the authority of the Pasha was per-
fectly restored at all points of Syria. Mehemet Alli on the
2Jth of July had returned to Alezandria."

The Miniiteur Algerein of the sth instant, contains an order
of the day, in which General Voirol congratulates himself oft
the state in which he found the works of the camp at Douera.
This camp, he remarks, created by the hands of our soldiery,
will become one of our finest military establishments. It has
already had considerable influence in promoting the submission
of the Arabs in the plain and will lead to the occupation of
Belida without firing a gun.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—On morning,
a most frightful accident occurred on the premises of Messrs.
Rohinsons and Co.' calenders in Hill-street, Finsbury-square.
About six o'clock, Martin 'Gready, a workman, who had.
been employed in the factory for nearly twenty years, was
called, with other men, from their different departments to
assist in setting a steam-engine, of about sixteen-horse power,
on the premises, to work. The engine had been what is
