GERMAN PAPERS.

NAPOLI DI ROMANIA, NOv.l.—( From the Political Ga-
zette of Munich. )—One of our Journals says that the Samiots
who emigrated to this country have returned to Samos, the
Sultan having not only granted them pardon, but restored
their confiscated property. M. Von Gasser, the Bavarian Am-
bassador, will shortly leave us, having prepared every thing
for his departure. It is said that M. Heideck, Member of the
Regency, is also preparing to leave Greece. We expect
every hour the Austrian Ambassador, M. Von Prokesch : his
two secretaries have already arrived. Old Colocotroni has
been dangerously ill, but is now recovering. Several of the
persons tried for the late insurrection are sentenced to death,
but some of them have been pardoned by his Majesty ; others
were condemned to imprisonment in irons for several years,
and others acquitted.
The Madagascar English frigate, which lay for a long time
in out harbour, lately left us to return to England.

considerable interest was excited in the sporting
circles on Friday last, by two matches being announced to take
place in Prestbury Park, the first was for h 0 sovs. one mile
and a half, between Mr. Starke's ch. g. Champion, 6 years,
list. 71h., ridden by Colonel Charritie, and Mr. Stewart's br.
g. aged, lOst. 71b., ridden by Captain Pettat. Mr. Stewart's
br. g. made play at starting, and kept the lead till within a
short distance of the winning post, when Champion passed, and
won by about half a length.—The second match, also for 50
sovs. was between Mr. Baring's br. g. Caleb, and Mr. Robin-
son's ch. g. 13st. each, ridden by Their respective owners, and
won easily by the former.
EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION AT BATTERSEA,
THIS MORNING.-About three o'clock a fire broke out on the
extensive premises of Messrs. Gosling and Downs, large
malsters and corn-factors, situated near the church, and on
I the bank of the Thames, at Battersea. On the discovery
being made, Mr. Gosling, the senior partner, who resides
in a detached dwelling near the premises, was roused
from his sleep, and he, anticipating the destructive conse-
quences that would ensue, instantly provided for the safety
of his family, who were received into the house of a friend in
the neighbourhood. About twenty minutes after the disco-
very of the fire was made the devouring element had spread
rapidly, and from the nature of the buildings, which are
nearly all composed of timber, as well as the description of
property contained therein, it burnt most furiously. A
number of the inhabitants and a body of the police of
the V divsion were most active on the occasion, and suc-
ceeded in preserving a number of sacks of malt, corn, and
other grain. The first engines that arrived on the spot were
those belonging to Wandsworth, Battersea, and Chelsea
-nrishes. Soon afterwards the British Fire Office, Sun, and
ißor ;eh Union engines arrived from London ; and happily,
