DR. WOLFF.

We have just received, by express, a letter from
our correspondent at Constantinople; we subjoin an
extract:--

" CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 17, 1544.

" I am happy to be enabled to state, on the best au-
thority, that advices have been received of the arrival of
Dr. Wolff at Meru, on his way to Teheran. Having
thus crossed the frontier of Bokhara, his personal safety
has been insured, and his return to the civilised world
will be hailed with general satisfaction.
"Instructions of the most peremptory nature have
been received from his Government by Sir Stratford
Canning, to obtain the immediate and unconditional
payment of the sum of 2,0001., which the Turkish Go-
vernment had acknowledged to be due to Sir Baldwin
Walker, but which, on the most frivolous pretences, it
had afterwards refused to liquidate. There are other
pecuniary claims of British subjects upon the Porte
with which the English Government would do well to
deal in the same determined spirit."—Post.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

This favourite place of amusement is now rapidly un-
dergoing the process of thorough repair and re-decora-
tion, and, we believe, will open for the season in about a
week. The legitimate drama, so long a stranger to its
ancient abodes, is likely to become naturalized in this
temple of the muses. The spirited experiment tried at
Sadler's Wells has proved so eminently successful, that
little doubt can now reasonably exist it would find si-
milar encouragement elsewhere, under proper manage-
ment and with adequate talent. The new lessee at the
Olympic has, therefore, probably chosen the wisest
course. Romeo and Juliet will be the opening play. The
heroine will be sustained by Miss Davenport, a young
lady who is reported to possess no ordinary abilities for
the character. Mr. Hudson Kirby, the Amerian tra-
gedian, Mr. Rayner, of rustic celebrity, Mr. R. Roxby,
and other popular performers, are already engaged.

mises of Mr. Benjamin, landlord of the Black Lion wine-
vaults, Vinegar-yard, Drury-lane (late in the occupa-
tion of the noted " Money Moses"), were entered by
some thieves, who, it is supposed, effected an entrance
by forcing the trap-door of the cellar, and thence pro-
ceeded upstairs to the bar, IA here they succeeded in
stealing a quantity of copper and silver moneys from the
till, besides table linen and wearing apparel, with which
they effected their escape.

PATENt PARAGON CAMPHINE LAMPS.—The perfection of
these Lamps over the Vesta has been happily attained by the inven-
tion of two parallel flat rings—a larger and a smaller forming a cone
round the margin of the wick, which cause a rapid reverberation of
air against the flame—thus consuming every particle of volatilized
vapour, it is free from smoke or smell, having perfect combustion,
and in full action, emits a light equal to 16 wax candles.

Bengal camp equipage, at present attached to Prince
Albert's Light Infantry, will be left at Sukkur for the
use of the 78th Highlanders. From this it is to be sup •
posed that the 13th will embark almost immediately on
arrival at Kurrachee for England, as it is hardly pro
bable that Sir C. Napier would keep two Queen's regi-
ments there, particularly as there are only barracks fur
one corps,"
A. private of the 13th Queen's has been tried for at-
tempting the life of a non-commissioned officer. Lieut.
Becher's court-martial is put off for six months, there
being some " hitch" in the indictment.
There is no particular amount of sickness at Sukkur
among the Europeans, and the weather is described ai
delightful ; no tattles, and punkahs only required at
midday. The mornings and evenings are even cold.
Sickness has somewhat increased among the natives, but
not more so than is usually the case all over India at
this season. Dr. Robertson's efforts for the welfare of
the Europeans are spoken of with great praise, and it is
said by our correspondent that his loss will be severely
felt ; his plan of arresting the Sinde fever has been most
successful.

Prom Hyderabad) we have advices to the 26th, awl
learn, by these that both wit.gs of the 86th were attacked
by fever immediately after crossing the river to Kotree,
and had to send to Hyderabad for additional sick car
riage. The first wing was successful in getting camel,.
with kajawas, but none could be got for the second half
of the regiment, and many of the doolee-bearers had de-
serted. The 2d Light Cavalry (Bombay) had received
a hint that they might be required at Sukkur shortly.

FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 28.—This morning, the King
received with the usual ceremony the dispatches of
the Chamber of Representatives commissioned to
present to him the address of the Chamber, in reply
to his Majesty's speech.
His Majesty made the following answer :
" Gentlemen —The object which I have proposed
to myself, and which you have just defined in so
happy a manner, claims our solicitude. I know that
I may depend on your patriotism and your enlight-
ened regard for the national interest.
" You have given a new proof of the sentiments
which animate you by the activity with which you
have commenced your labours, for which I sincerely
thank you, in the name of the country."
• The Chamber of Representatives, after having
heard the King's answer to the address, entered on
the discusssion of the project of law relative to the
settlement and relief of the poor.
We hear that Messrs. Van Gend sent to London
riot only two of their clerks, but also two others em-
ployed in their French office, in pursuit of the con-
Actor who absconded with 35,000 f., and that they
have discovered and arrested him at Liverpool, with
die-money in his possession.
CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 9.—The Turkish Ministry
has been made easy with respect to its apprehensions
of the negotiation of England with Mehemet Ali, for
facilitating the communication with India over the
Isthmus of Suez; and Sir Stratford Canning has
succeeded in obtaining from the Porte the permission
sought by the Viceroy, for the conclusion of a conven-
tion to that effect wi-th,Great Britain. Meantime the
British Ambassador has received from Alexandria
accounts which are far from satisfactory. It is said
that Mehemet Ali insists more obstinately than ever
on forming himself all the necessary establishments
on the Isthmus, and in providing for the conveyance
(of goods and passengers) on his own account. Mr.
Bourne had returned from Cairo to Alexandria and
had had again two conferences with Mehemet Ali ; in
consequence of which he seems to have given up all
hope of inducing him to change his mind.

to imprisonment, with hard labour, for five years, in
each of their cases.

" The Commander-in-Chief is pleased to direct the
discharge of Bissoon Sing, sepoy, of the 7th company,

Bengal service.

from Rome, intimating that the Pope approved of his
nomination to fill the vacant see of Galway, posted at
once to Tuam, in order to place in the hands of Arch-
bishop M'Hale his resignation of the dignity. Dr. M'Hale
expressed his determination not to accept of it, but so
anxious is the Rev. Gentleman to forego the prelacy,
that he means, at the assemblage of the Roman Catholic
bishops on the 12th of November, in Dublin, to again
tender his resignation.

REMARKS BY THE COMMANDER-IN- CHIEF.

"It is with the deepest sorrow that the Commander-
in-Chief promulgates to the army the foregoing charges
and sentences against thirty-eight sepoys of the 64th
Regiment Native Infantry ; but, however deep the feel-
ing of regret on his Excellency's mind, it is his determina-
tion to vindicate: the discipline of the army, by causing
to be carried into effect, on the principal culprits, the ex-
emplary and just sentence passed by the Court, and by
subjecting the remainder of the prisoners to other severe
punishments.
" The chief cause of this disgraceful mutiny
appears to have been the disappointment of the
men at not receiving a much higher rate of pay
than they were entitled to by regulation and
the orders of Government ; and it is shown in
evidence that they were promised certain specific advan-
tages. This point will form the subject of further serious
investigagon. But the Commander-in-Chief cannot too
earnestly impress upon the army at large, that no hope
or expectation of pecuniary advantages, from whatever
quarter held out, can for a moment justify the military
act of refusing b receive the regulated pay ; and most
especially that there can be no possible extenuation of
open and violent mutiny, such as has occurred at Shikar-
pore, whatever may be the circumstances of the case.
" The firmness and management of Major-General
Hunter, in restoring this regiment eventually to a sense
of its duty, have met with the highest approbation of
the Commander-in-Chief. A proffer of pardon having
been made to the regiment at Sukkur, on condition of
their giving up the ringleaders in the mutiny, and bring-
ing them to conviction, which has been fulfilled, his Est.-
eelleney has now only the painful but necessary task of
disposing of the sentences passed by the court.

LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1844.

In the Number, just published, of Fraser's Ma-
gazine there is an article headed " The Landowners
and. the Labouring Classes," a subject which of late
has attracted public attention in no ordinary degree.
This article is remarkable on two accounts. In the
first place, it is singularly just and even liberal in its
tone, and divested of anything like party prejudice;
and secondly, it makes its appearance in a periodical
which has long been conspicuous, not only by its
Toryism and its ardent sympathies with the agricul-
tural Monopolists, but also by the fierce, uncompro-
mising spirit in which it has on all occasions enforced
its opinions on these matters. Now, however,
it would seem to have altogether changed its tone,
and to have found out at length that the extreme
Tory sentiments which it has maintained for so many
years, can no longer be upheld with safety. It has
now become quite moderate in its notions ; can per-
ceive faults in the landowners where it before saw
nothing but excellence, and even goes the length of
recontmending them to follow—as regards their pea-
santry—the example set them by the so much vilified
manufacturers in their conduct towards the operatives
in their employ. This is a great stretch of candour for
so decided a party journal as Fraser, and we hail it as an
unequivocal manifestation of the increasing liberal
tendencies of Toryism. We quote one or two of the
passages that have most struck us by their truth
and frankness. "If we have ever been among the
number of those," says Fraser, " who held up the
landed aristocracy as objects of imitation to the
cotton-lords; we are now constrained to reverse the
picture, and to recommend to the owners of the
soil the adoption, as far as may be, of a course on
which the owners of mills and manufactories seem
fairly to have entered. Not that we charge
the country gentlemen with indifference to
their great duties. We have already said that
everywhere in the rural districts a general disposition
has sprung up to forget class interests and class pre-
judices in the great work of elevating the national
character. But the misfortune is—and perhaps at the
outset it could not be otherwise—that all this stir on
the part of landlords brings them into more intimate
communion only with their tenantry. The poor
peasant derives no advantages, either physical or
moral, from the improvements that are in progress.
More work is not found for him—better wages are not
paid to him. No living soul appears to care for
him, except at those annual gatherings when, with as
much ostentatious show as kindness, he is paraded
before a company of landowners, land-occupiers, and
clergymen, to compete for some paltry prize. Con-
trast with this the behaviour of the millowners at
