HAMBURG PAPERS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 17.—Intelligence has been re-
ceived to-day from Smyrna that the English fleet of six sail
of the line, four frigates, and several brigs and cor-
vettes, has arrived oN Vourla. The corvette Scout,
commanded by a son of Earl Grey, appears to have
preceded it with the notice of speedy arrival. This cor-
vette came into the Bosphorus last week. 'We hear
nothing positive respecting the object of this fleet, which is
soon to be joined by a French squadron. It is evidently a
demonstration against Russia. The English Legation here
endeavours, indeed, to propagate the idea that the object is
merely to exercise the men, a statement which is doubtless
as far from the truth as that, according to which the desti-
nation of the two fleets is the Black Sea. Together with
this intelligence from Smyrna, we have received later ac-
counts from Samos, which, contradicting all that we had
before, destroy all hopes of the peaceable submission of that
island. The majority of the population is said to be ad-
verse to the Porte, and it is therefore probable that the
Turkish commander will be obliged to employ force. Fur-
ther particulars are also given of the fire at Smyrna on the
3d instant. Nearly sixty of the handsomest houses in the
city, built in the European fashion, and many shops and
warehouses, were destroyed, but the greater part of the
merchandise was saved.
Accounts from Trebizond of the 9th inst. mention a
Treaty of Commerce concluded between England and
Persia, which is said to be on the same basis as that between
Persia and Russia.

For some time past it has been reported that the Sultan
intends to make a journey through the provinces, which will
keep him absent from the capital for a long time, and that
he will appoint a Council of Regency, at the head of which
he will place his son-in-law, Halil Pacha.
Negotiations will be again set on foot respecting the oc-
cupation of Algiers by the French. The Porte intends to
claim the restitution of that province, and to send an Em-
bassy to Paris and London for that purpose. It is affirmed
in many quarters that these repeated demands of the Porte
are suggested from Paris ; that is, by the French Govern-
ment, which only wants a plausible pretext to abandon this
expensive acquisition.

The Greek Ambassador Zographos, though in fact re-
cognised, has not yet had a formal audience of the Sultan.
VIENNA, JULY 3.—The Emperor and Empress will
arrive on the sth at Schoenbrunn, and go on the 7th to
Baden.

The Diet of Transylvania was opened on the 20th, and
Count Naires appointed President pro tempore, till his
Majesty the Emperor has given his sanction to one of the
twelve persons selected by the Diet from the four principal
religions as candidates for the office.

The sittings cannot yet begin in the form prescribed by
the laws, because some preliminaries must first be settled.
His Imperial Highness the Archduke Ferdinand is said to
have made a very fine speech on opening the Session as
Royal Commissioner.

TURKISH FRONTIER, JUNE 2.s.—The Hospodars of
Moldavia and Wallachia, on their return from Constan-
tinople, were received on the Bth of last month at Giurgevo
by a Turkish officer, who presented to them the firman to
their appointment and the confirmation of the political
constitution of the two provinces. They arrived at Con-
stantinople on the 20th, and were received with all the
honours due to their rank. After the usual ceremonies
and visits to the great officers of state, they had, on the
31st ult., their solemn audience of the Sultan, and received
the investiture of the principalities, the insignia of the Order
of Merit of the first class, the pelisses of honour given to
reigning princes, which entirely resemble that of the Sul-
tan, and sabres enriched with diamonds.
The Prince of Moldavia delivered on this occasion a
very judicious and dignified speech. The Sultan conversed
with them for an hour, and invited them to an entertain-
ment which he gave to all the Pachas of the empire. On
the Bth inst. the marriage of the Hospodar of Moldavia,
with the Princess of Samos (Wogarides) was celebrated,
and both Hospodars were preparing to leave Constantinople
on the 18th. Preparations were making at Bucharest and
Jassy for the return of the Princes and their assumption of
the Government, which will be the commencement of a
new era.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARYLEBONE.

Yesterday Mr. Thomas Prior Everitt, a surgeon and
apothecary, residing at No. 49, Seymour-street, Euston-
square, was charged with the following unprovoked attack
on Mr. Thomas White, livery-stable keeper, Howland-
mews, Howland-street, Tottenham-court-road :
The complainant, whose head was covered with adhe-
sive plaster, and whose face was also very much disfigured,
deposed that he knew the prisoner, with whom he had had
some dealings. On Saturday night, about ten o'clock, his
(the prisoner's) wife came down to the stables, and coming
up to him, said, " Here I am again ; I've come to have a
settlement." Witness replied, " Come on Monday morn-
ing, and we'll see about it ;" but instead of her going
away, she struck him a tremendous blow in the face ; he
then attempted to push her out, when the defendant,
whom he had not before seen, rushed forward and struck
him a blow on the head with a thick stick. Witness in
defence took up a broom ; upon which the prisoner ran
out, and, taking a lancet from his pocket, said, " I'll thrust
it into your eye." Several persons came down the mews,
as well as a policeman, who took the prisoner into custody.
Henry Copeland said he saw the prisoner strike the com-
plainant, and afterwards run away and take a lancet from
his pocket. Witness said to him, " it, don't use such
a weapon as that ; if you are a man, go and fight like one."
To which the prisoner replied, " I'll job his eye out." Just
then a policeman came up, and the complainant gave the
prisoner in charge.
Sydney Mulman, a groom, corroborated the last witness's
statement.

The prisoner, in reply, said the complainant struck his
wife, and he thought he was justified in taking her part,
which he had done in the manner described.
Mr. RAWLINSON said a more unprovoked attack he
never heard of. The idea of a man breaking another's
head with a stick, and then taking a lancet from his pocket
with the intention of using that also, was too horrible to
dwell on. He should inflict a heavy fine, and require good
bail for the prisoner, unless he could arrange the matter.
The parties then retired, and the affair ended in the
prisoner promising to be more peaceable in future, and
giving the complainant 5/. for the injuries he had sustained.

HATTON GARDEN.
Yesterday John Lane, a razor-grinder, living in Sparrow-
court, Portpool-lane, was charged with having caused the
death of one of his own children, a boy nineteen months old.
Sergeant Baylis, 5, G division of police, deposed that on
Sunday morning, at half-past ten o'clock, he received infor-
mation from some of the inhabitants of Sparrow-court that
the prisoner had been beating one of his children until it
had died. He instantly proceeded thither, and ending that
the prisoner's youngest child was dead, he questioao-the

mother, who told him that her husband came home drunk
on Saturday evening, and that some time during the night
he got into bed, and, she believed, had unintentionally
smothered the babe. He examined the body, which was
very black in several places, and, considering it a case that
demanded inquiry, he took the prisoner into custody.
Mr. LAING remanded the prisoner for further examina-
tion, and said it was necessary that the Coroner should
investigate the matter.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Yesterday four brawny female Irish paupers, belonging
to St. Giles's workhouse, were brought before Messrs.
CoNANT and HALL, and the Rev. Mr. THURSBY, charged
with having refused to resume their labours at the washing-
tub.

The directors of the workhouse, it appeared, had recently
revised the diet regulations of the paupers, and having come
to the conclusion that the paupers were over-fed by the then
existing regulations, made such reductions as appeared to
them equal to the exigencies of the case. Among other
retrenchments was the daily pint of porter doled out to the
ladies of the establishment who undertook the clean-linen
department of the workhouse. This deprivation, in conse-
quence of the warm work and warm weather, was the most
sensibly felt of any, and accordingly as soon as eleven
o'clock came, the hour usually appointed for this humble
refreshment, no beer being forthcoming, the washerwomen
laid down their clothes' sticks and soap cakes, and, with the
stentorophonic clamour of fifteen female voices, avowed
their determination not to be seen elbow deep in suds again
until the pint of porter was restored to them.
Mr. CONANT asked what had been the former diet of the
paupers, and what the present reduction.

The magistrate was informed that the original Monday
diet of the paupers was a pint of gruel, a pound of bread,
a pint of soup, to which, in the case of the washerwomen,
a pint of beer had been added. The new regulations gave
all the paupers indiscriminately twelve ounces of bread,
gruel and soup as before, and wholly abolished the porter.
The magistrates were of opinion that 12 ounces of bread
was hardly sufficient for the support of a human being where
hard work was required, and to them from 12 to 14 hours'
toil at the wash-tub appeared to require some such trifling
indulgence as a pint of porter, especially as no small beer
ever was allowed.

Mr. CONANT then requested that one of the surgeons of
the establishment should be sent for.

Mr. Burgess, the senior surgeon, having made his ap-
pearance, he was asked if he conceived the allowance to
the paupers sufficient to support them, where hard work
was required, and to keep them in proper health ? Mr.
Burgess said, the reduced allowance, generally, in his
opinion, was sufficient ; but he did not think it was enough
where hard work, such as washing, was exacted.
Mr. CONANT, after lecturing the defendants, ordered
them to be discharged, and gave a recommendatioh to the
Directors of the workhouse to take their case into conside-
ration, for to him it appeared the excision of the pint of por-
ter was not exactly conformable to principles of judicious
retrenchment.
