GERMAN PAPERS.

FRAYKFOET, AUG. B.—M. Ton. Naylor left ul again yes-
terday to return to Berlin. We understand that our senator,
M. Bansa, will also return to Berlin in a few days. From
this it is inferred that, our negociations for joining the com-
mercial union are advancing rapidly to a close, if they are not
already terminated. On the other hand, it is affirmed that
Franefort has not come to an agreement with England, and
that the negociations arc delayed on this account ; well in-
formcd persons positively contradict this last statement. With
respect to the soldiers of the guard who have been condemned
on account of the affair of the 2d of May last year, one is
sentenced to death, two to confinement in the house of Cor-
rection for many years: the others, about nine in number, to
lighter punishments. The sentences of the first three were to
be submitted to a court of review, but they have preferred re-
cognising the sentence of the Military tribunal, and intend to
petition the Senate for a mitigation of their punishment. The
soldier sentenced to death is said to be in very ill health.
VIENNA, AUGUST 7.—Five per Cent Metalliques 1021 ;
Four per Cents., 981-1 ; Bank Shares 1320—Allgemeine Zei-
tung, Aug. 12.
CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 22.—According to despatches from
the Pasha of Larissa, the flames of rebellion have spec id
over all Albania. The troops ordered from Rurnelia have ad-
vanced
to the frontiers, but till further reinforcements arrive,
no decisive operation is to be thought of.
It is reported that the Pacha of Scutari has been d!ready
forced to capitulate, as there was no prospect of his receiving
succour. The Porte is greatly alarmed at these accounts, and
the armaments in the capital are going on day and night.
Lord Ponsonby intends to visit Smyrna and Samos, in the
month of September.
DANTZIC, JULY 30.—Fifty-one vessels (called bordings) are
engaged for landing the Russian troops. The preparations for
receiving them give to this city an unusual air of bustle. The
garrison will give a ball to the Russian officers in the theatre,
which will be transformed into a great saloon for this occasion.
In other towns through which the Russians have to pass, en-
deavours have been made to get up balls, but with little suc-
cess, because the Russians are no favourites in our country.
It is said to have been proposed to provide the funds for
defraying the expense of a ball by a tax of 2 per cent. on the
salaries of persons in office ; but they would not consent to
any such thing.
FRANKFOR r, Aco. 12,—Her Highness the Duchess of
Saxe-Meiningen and his Highness the Hereditary Prince
arrived here yesterday.
VIENNA, Aun. 6.—The Turkish Ambassador Extraordinary,
who has come with a letter from the Sultan to offer the con-
dolence of his Sovereign on the death of the Emperor
Francis, and his compliments on the accession of the present
Emperor, has had to-day the honour of executing his commis-
sion, in an audience of his Imperial Majesty in the Palace in
this City, and had afterwards an audience of her Majesty the
Empress.—Frankfort Papers, Aug. 13.

FORTHCOMING MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.-
Lord Viscount Lowther to Miss Strachan. It is said that the
Marquis of Hertford will give a portion of one hundred thou-
sand pounds with the young lady. The Marquis of Douro
will lead to the hymeneal altar in a few days the beautiful
Miss Stuart, a daughter of Lord and Lady Stuart de Rothsay.
Lord Gardner is about to be united to Miss Hughes, daughter
of Lord Dinorben.

FASIIIONABLES AT GREENWICH.--There were
several parties made for Friday and Saturday last. On the
first day the following leaders of the haut ton dined at the
Crown and Sceptre :—The Marquis and Marchioness of Wor-
cester, the Countess of Chesterfield, Lady Southampton,
Lord Brudenell, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, Hon.
George Herbert, Count D'Orsay, the Marquis and Marchion-
ess of Londonderry, Colonel and Mrs. Anson, Viscount
Castlereagh, the Hon. R. Smith.
On Friday last, as Duckham, belonging to the lace
manufactory of John Heathcote, Esq., M.P., at Tiverton,
was at night work therein, one of the firemen complained that
something had cogged the wheel. "Ah !" said the poor fel-
low, "that's asign of fire." " Why Sam," said the foreman,
" the gas went out just now ; what's that a sign of ?" The
reply was " death," and immediately clasping his hands he fell
and expired without a groan.—Bristol Mercury.

The Liverpool petition was signed by 12,321 per-
sons, in the course of a very short time. Numbers applied to
sign after the petition had been sent off, not knowing that it
would be despatched so soon.
BIRMINGHAM MEETING.—The High Bailiff has
convened a meeting to be held on Tuesday next, for the pur-
pose of considering the proper steps to be adopted with re-
spect to the present crisis of the bill before the Lords for the
Reform of Municipal Corporations. Mr. Attwood,•M. P. will
be there. " Little" (says the Birmingham Journal) do they
know the spirit of the men of Birmingham, or greatly
do they misrepresent it, who would attribute their
peaceable demeanour, or their calmness, and patient bearing
of indignities from Oligarchical tyranny, to a spirit of indiffer-
ence to political independence, or to a forgetfulness of their
triumphant exertion in favour of Parliamentary Reform.
'We have the high satisfaction of stating that the
Corporation of Lincoln are about to effect a radical and most
beneficial change in the constitution of the grammar school.
Mr. Robert Fowler, one of the senior Aldermen, has given
formal notice that, at the next Common Council, to be held
very speedily, he shall move that the present system of edu-
cating the scholars in Latin and Greek, be exchanged for a
course of plain and useful commercial education. It is quite
understood that the Corporation will -come to nearly, if not
entirely, a unanimous vote in favour of Alderman Fowler's
proposition. This is really creditable to the Corporation, and
to the rising intellect of our city. We understand the scho-
lars have dwindled to fewer than a score ; under the new state
of things, an advancement in numbers will immediately take
place, and the benefits and blessings of useful elementary in-
formation be thus conveyed to a wider intellectual circle.—
Stamford Mercury.
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—The Judges for the
Assizes to be held in this town arrived here this evening, about
seven o'clock. The High Sheriff arrived in town yesterday,
preparatory to his going out to meet the Judges on their
entrance into Liverpool, and this afternoon, about five o'clock,
a splendid procession left the Town Hall for that purpose,
headed by the -High Sheriff in his carriage, drawn by four
horses, preceded by the javelin men. He was followed by the
Mayor in the state carriage, and a long line of private car-
riages, hackney coaches, and gentlemen on horseback. They
proceeded about three miles from the town, where the proces-
sion met their Lordships, who entered the High Sheriff's car-
riage, and the procession moved on its way to St. Ann's-street,
where a splendid house has been provided for the accommoda-
tion of their Lordships. The procession moved very slowly,
and afforded the numerous spectators a fine view of the whole
cortege; every place where a glimpse of the procession could
be obtained was crowded to excess. There could not have
been less than 20,000 spectators. The procession extended
more than half a mile in leagth.
The valuable Crown living of Pulliam, in the county
of Norfolk, has been presented to the Rev. William Leigh,
incumbent of Bilston. The perpetual curacy which the Rev.
Gentleman at present holds, will of course become vacant ;
and the presentation resting with the inhabitants, a severe
contest is expected to take place for the appointment. A can-
vas is said to have already commenced.—Worcester Journal.
Mr. Lindsay teacher in Dundee, formerly lecturer
to the West Institution, succeeded, on the evening of Satur-
day the 25th ult., in obtaining a constant electric light. The
light, in beauty, surpasses all others; has no smell, emits no
smoke, is capable of explosion, and, not requiring air for com-
bustion, can be kept in sealed glass jars. It ignites without
the aid of a taper, and seems peculiarly calculated for flax-
houses, spinning-mills, and other places containing combusti-
ble materials. It can be sent to any convenient distance, and
the apparatus for producing it may be contained in a common
chest.—Greeneck Adcertizer.

TALES OF THE RAMADHAN, BY J. A. ST.
Jonx, Ese.—" The resemblance of these tales to the Ara-
bian Nights,' " says the Literary Gazette, "is obvious ; and
they preserve in a commendable.degree, and in good keeping
throughout, the spirit and genius of the originals which they
imitate. Occasional touches of satire do not detract from
this effect, t,-1 it is not in the use of Eastern exclamations
and terms, but essentially that Mr. St. John has succeeded in
the task proposed to himself—a task rendered difficult and
dangerous by the ready sugge,tion of a supreme standard of
composition."
The late Sir Robert Peel ratsti a princely income
from the invention or use of a machine fo..Le manufacture
of cotton, termed a "spinning Jenny ; " his tolow-appren-
tice, at Crayford, in Kent, often solemnly asserted tiat, in the
early part of their apprenticeship, they were both en.iloyed,
occasionally in trundling a wheel-barrow through the ,
with pails Of skimmed milk, which they sold at one penny pe.
quart. This equally shows the origin and singular merit and
industry of the late Baronet.—Boulogne Advertiser.
EDITORIAL LANGUAGE.—The Stockport Ad-
vertiser thus commences one of its leaders :—" The bluster-
ing bully of the Manchester Guardian, is again et his dirty
work."
Saturday, an inquest was held at the Lion and
Lamb, Drummond-crescent, St. Pancras, on the body of a
man named Richard Barrett, aged 50. The deceased, in
trying to catch a dog which had bitten a child, had his wrist
lacerated by the animal. He took no notice of the wouw.l,
but it on the following day it was evident to the surgeon who
was called in that the man was suffering under an attack of
hydrophobia, from the effects of which he died in dreadful
agony.—Verdict, " The deceased died of hydrophobia."
RARE OCCURRENCE.—There was caught, the
other day, -in Mr. Young's fishing-nets, at Anclrossan, a fish
'known by the name of the Miller's Thumb. This fish was
about three feet long; and .on -being cut up, in presence of
many spectators on the- shore-, -there was found in its stomach
two fine salmcm grilse, without a scratch on either of them,.
the one weighing eight aad..the other six rounds.—Glasgow
