Accounts have been received from Constantinople
to the 4th of September.
Commissioners have been appointed to investigate
the proper form of administration suitable to the pro-
vince of Albania, as it is considered that from the
peculiar habits of its people it cannot be reduced to
order by the same laws which operate in other parts
of the Turkish empire.
The French shopkeepers at Constantinople and at
Pera, who have enjoyed for many years privileges
contrary to the letter of the law, are, it appears, in
despair at the Porte now exhibiting a determination
to resume its inherent rights, and to make those shop-
keepers contribute to the expenses of the State. The
shopkeepers are applying to their several ambassadors,
and an embarrassing discussion is likely to take place
between the Porte and the ambassadors, the former
having right and reason on its side, and the latter
being called upon to plead in favour of an abuse which
has only a certain prescription for its authority.
Already has a serious dispute arisen between the
Greek Ambassador and the Porte, in consequence of
the Governor of Pera and Galata having shut up the
shops of several Greeks who, had not received permis-
sion from the Porte to carry on trade there.

THIS DAY'S NEWS

ELECTION OF ALDERMAN FOR
BILLINGSGATE WARD.
This day a wardmoto was held in Fellowship Hall, St.
Mary-at-Hill, for the election of an alderman in the
room of Anthony Brown, Est., appoined Chamberlain
of the City of London. Mr. Sdney, the Sheriff-elect for
the ensuing year, was the only candidate ; the other,
Mr. William Mitcalfe, having resigned.
Precisely at twelve o'clock the Lord Mayor, attended
by the several civil functionates, entered the Hall, and
having taken his seat, the Court was opened.
Mr. PEAKE, in proposing Mr. Sidney, said he was
supported by all parties ; and he (Mr. Peake) was confi-
dent that, in the office of Alderman, he would be equally
distinguished for the virtues and abilites which had so
much characterised him in private life.
Mr. BOWER seconded the nomination. He said that
he had net, like the mover, the honour of such an inti-
mate acquaintance with Mr. Sidney, yet the voice of
fame had spoken well of him ; and from the little he
knew, he was fully of the same opinion. They had
parted with a gentleman who was highly respected, and
who had filled his office well, and he had every confi-
dence that the gentleman now proposed as Alderman
would do away with their regret at parting with the last
one. He was glad that there was no opposition on the
present occasion, as however well conducted such contests
might be, they invariably left gall and bitterness behind.
He would, therefore, with every heartiness, second the
nomination of Mr. Sidney, and he hoped that in all their
future relations he and the " good men" of Billingsgate
would esteem each other in the highest degree.
There being no other candidate, Mr. Sidney was de-
clared elected.

Madrid papers to the 18th instant have been re-
ceived. The Gazette contains a royal order suspend-
ing the law which requires the members of corpora-
tions to go out in turn, according to a certain rota-
tion; and directing that the present members of cor-
porations shall hold their offices till further orders.
This is in the direct teeth of the law, and the object
of it is to keep the present members, who are devoted
Moderados, in office.
The Eco del Commercio mentions the release from
prison of Don Josn and Don RAMON PUMA, Don,
MANUEL ALMAZARO, Don R. FERNANDEZ, Don M.
SALAMANCA, and Don F. SETAS, who were arrested
on account of the pretended conspiracies so much
spoken of a few weeks ago.
A grand banquet took place on the 17th, in ce!ebra-
tion of the victory obtained "by the defenders of the
Constitutional throne," in the elections of the province
of Madrid. M. MARTINEZ DE LA Rose presided, and,
in a brief speech, expressed his abhorrence both of
despotism and of revolutions.!
The Queen of SPAIN has conferred the Grand Cor-
.

ion of the Royal Order of CHARLES 111. on the
Count DE BRESSON, the French Ambassador at
Madrid.

Mr. SIDNEY returned thanks. There were moments
n every man's life, when words would be found inade-
plate to express the intensity of his feelings, and such
was the case with himself at that time. He could say
unfeignedly, that that was one of his proudest moments.
He would not take up their time by detaining the prin-
ciples he had laid down for his future guidance, because
the last mouth had given him ample opportunity of ex-
plaining these. He had sought that important position
as a means of extended usefulness to his fellow-citizens.
—(Hear, hear.) He did not mean to say that'opportuntty
of much usefulness cound not be found in the privacies
of life as in its public walks—
"To do goodiby stealth and blush to find it fame,"
might be chronicled of many—the most humble indivi-
duals.—(Cheers.) If in that office, he did not the good
which at present he hoped lo do, he would not retain
it, but at once resign into their hands again
the honourable distinction they had conferred upon
him. They had had the good sense not to ask him
any question as to his political sentiments, and he had
no right, nor would he, in that unanimous assemblage
thrust these opinions upon them ; although they all
agreed, he was convinced in this, that it was truly wise,
and truly liberal, to allow to each and all the expression
of that opinion, whatever it might be.—(Cheers.) He
was proud to call himself a friend to the glorious insti-
tutions of the country, and he hoped that he should ever
advocate an extended system of education. He would
hail the day with gratitude when education would raise
from among the masses of the country a new power,
moral, political, and religious—(Hear hear)—and
to that object would all his exertions be given.
That was the best mode of preventing crime
and its consequences. He thanked them all for the
kindness with which they had received him in the course
of that canvass, and he could assure them that he would
endeavour to discharge the duties of his office in an ho-
nourable and honest manner.—(Great cheers.)
Mr. Deputy CURLING moved a vote of thanks to their
late Alderman, Anthony Brown, Esq., which was passed
unanimously.
Thanks were voted to the Lord Mayor, who then dis-
solved the wardmote.

Of the Narvaez-Rosa Cabinet the Clamor Publico
says, with much truth—" It resembles a mantle made
up of rags of all colours, whereby miseries and ini-
quities innumerable are concealed. Let the day come
when the devil shall cast off his mantle, and the
nation will behold a woful sight."
Letters from Madrid state that the holders of trea-
sury bonds have come to an understanding with the
Government. These bonds have been converted into
Three per Cents. at 32. The sum represented by
these bonds amounts, it is said, to 50 millions of reals
The arrangement with the holders of the floating debt
has not yet been definitively settled. The Council of
the Cabinet has had several deliberations on the sub-
ject, and it is said that a resolution has been come to
to effect the conversion at 40; but this offer does
not appear to suit the ideas of the holders, who have
:ince held a meeting at the Bank of St. Ferdinand.
The result of their deliberations has been, it is said, a
protestation against the above rate of 40 as too high,
and a proposition on their parts of fixing it at 37. It
is not known how this offer will be met, but it will
probably lead to further conferences on the subject.
MADRID BOLZA, SEPT. 18.—Three per Cents, 27k,
at sixty days ; Five per Cents. 20a at sixty days;
Floating Debt, 64 at fifty-five day; Coupons, 251 at
sixty days; Exchange—London, 37k.

Accounts have been received from Paris up to
Tuesday night. From these we learn of the outs
break of a new revolution in Spain. It is said that
information was received at Perpignan on the 22d,
that a revolutionary movement had been made at Car-
thagena; that similar movements were discovered in
many parts of Catalonia ; that the authorities had
taken measures to suppress them ; and that the
Director of the Posts, the Director of Customs, and
one of the Judges of Mataro had been arrested.
The contents of the Paris papers of the day are
almost devoid of interest. Otaheite, Morocco, and
the O'CoNNNLL banquet in Dublin, are the subjects
chiefly commented on. The Constituticmnel thus.
comments on the proceedings of Mr. O'CONNELL :--
"A very clever manoeuvre of the Agitator is to have
imposed silence on his religions passions, put Popery out
of the question, and appealed to the patriotism of the,
Irish Protestants. This appeal has been listened to ; if
a good number of bishops and Catholic priests figure
amongst the guests at the dinner, the chairman, Mr.'
Smith O'Brien, was a Protestant. O'Connell, who never;
misses an opportunity to make a point, referred with,
admirable tact to the worthy president as the Jiving
witness of the spirit of moderation and tolerance which
animates the repeal, and drew forth without difficulty
signs of assent from Mr. O'Brien. This new proceeding
of O'Connell merits being studied, for it raises the move-
ment in Ireland, which hitherto had only the charac-
teristics of faction, to the height of a serious political
action. It prepares an alliance which can alone give a
direct object to the agitation, and gives the Whigs and
Repealers a common ground on which they may combat
the Tories. There is in his speech little, if any, abuse
of his adversaries ; he does not throw bad language
about, right or wrong ; but, on the other hand, per-
hcps he never expressed himself in terms more noble or
more touching relative to Ireland, the object of his reli-
gious worship, and which repays him with so much
gratitude and love for his devotedness to her cause."
With regard to Otaheite the Constitutionnel and
the Journal de Paris both agree in opinion that the
Protectorate of the island is not worth having, and
ought to be abandoned. The Revue de Paris is of the
same opinion and alludes to the withdrawal of the
British from Afghanistan, as a precedent which it
would be well that France should follow with regard
to Otaheite.
The Duke of GLucicsnEaG arrived in Paris on
Monday. He is said to have brought the original
treaty concluded with the Emperor ABDERIMAMAN
of Morocco, and to have come to obtain the ratifica-
tion of the KING of the Famicli, with which he is to
return to Tangiers.
In relation to this treaty the:Siecle observes :—" This
peace is an English peace; it will be advantageous to
England alone, and it was negotiated by English
agents. Let us not be told, that France was the
arbiter to decide upon the conditions of the peace, for
it was England alone who dictated them."
On the subject of the visit of the KING of the
FRENCH to this country, we extract the following
from the Constitutionnel :
" The King of the French has received from the Lord
Mayor and Aldermen of London a pressing invitation to
be present at the banquet which is to be offered to the
Queen by the City, on the occasion of the opening of the
new Exchange ; and the King, though much gratified
by the terms of the invitation, has refused it, alleging as
an excuse the state of his health and the shortness of
his stay in England."

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
GOVERNMENT PROSECTITION.--CRUELTY TO A CHILD.
—Catherine Stewart was indicted for assaulting Clarissa
Tyler, a child of tender years.
Mr. WILDE, who appeared for the prosecution, which
was instituted at the instance of the Lords of the Trea-
sury, said that the female was living in prostitution with
the father of the child on whom the assaults were com-
mitted, and that the case had been taken up by the Trea-
sury, in consequence of the poverty of the complainant,
and the aggravated circumstances with which it was
surrounded. The mother of the child died about three
years ago, and from that time the child had been treated
with the greatest cruelty by the prisoner. On one occa-
sion she threw a quantity of boiling liquor over the head
of the poor little creature, and at another time kicked
her violently in the eye. She at all times gave her the
most spare diet.
The prisoner admitted her guilt.
Mr. WILDE observed that it would greatly enable the
solicitors to the Treasury efficiently to perform their

immediately to attend at the sessions, fearing that the
case might be called on, or the grand jury discharged.
The COURT concurred in the suggestions thrown out
by Mr. Wilde, and sentenced the prisoner to three
months' imprisonment.
The case of John Tolfree, an Excise officer, indicted
fur assaulting and cruelly ill-treating his son, was, on the
application of Mr. Wilkins, postponed until next sessions.

Mr. Chatterton, of St. Peter's-court, St. Martin's•lane.
The complainant stated that this morning, at about
five o'clock, the prisoner came to his house, knocked at
the shop door, and asked for Mr. Chatterton. He said
he wanted to be introduced to the family, as he
had known them in Paris. The complainant, seeing

drunk, and not knowing him at

the private door, and Commenced knocking loudly.
The complainant went to the door and opened it, and the
prisoner said he was determined to go into the house.
Mr. Chatterton said he should not, and then the prisoner
immediately struck him a blow on the head with a loaded
stick, which felled him to the ground senseless, where he
lay for some time bleeding. The household, by this time,
were roused, and the prisoner was given into custody.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he had been to
Vauxhall-gardens ; he was quite drunk, and had no
recollection of what he had done. He could not, there-
fore offer anythinq in extenuation of his offence.
Mr. HALL inquired what he was? The prisoner—I
hold a Government situation.
Mr. lieu, said he bad only power to fine the prisoner
51., and that he did not consider sufficient ; he would,
therefore, recommend Mr. Chatterton to prosecute at the
sessions.

The Revue de Paris says, his MAJESTY would have
gone to London had it been possible to avoid the
ceremony of a formal reception. The KING wishes
that, in the present circumstances, his journey to
England should preserve the character of a mere visit
from one Sovereign to another."

Mr. Chatkrton said he would do so.
The prisoner was accordingly committed for trial.

UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
George Wright and Thomas Sutton, two young fellows,
were charged under the following circumstances :
Sutton was employed to do sonte work at a public-
house at Walworth, and during the absence of the land-
lord from home, he discovered a two-gallon jar of sherry
winea
customer. Sutton having drawn the cork, and finding
the quality of the liquor, he then acquainted the other
prisonienrtohe passage, which was about to be forwarded to
f the discovery he had made, and they com-
menced drinking until they finished the incredible quan-
tity of six quarts of the wine between them. They were
found in a state of complete intoxication, lying near the
jar which had contained the beverage, and sent off to
the station-house on a stretcher.
The defendants, who said they had no recollection of
what had taken place, were committed for fourteen days
each to the House of Correction.

The Debats thus alludes to the letter of Captain
Tore NICHOLAS, denying the statement in the Paris
Globe, that there had been a sailing match between
the Adonis French frigate and her MAJESTY'S ship
Vindictive :—" We produce this letter with pleasure.
The tone, full of urbanity, of that officer, and the
courtesy with which he congratulates himself on the
amicable relations which he always had with the
officers of the French navy, especially when on the
Otaheite station, cannot but contribute to re-establish
entirely the sentiments of esteem and reciprocal cor-
diality which were for a moment changed."
The Revue de Paris says :
" It is said that the Government has received impor-
tant dispatches from M. Alley de Ciprey, our 'Minister
at Mexico, and that they throw a new light on the events
at Tabasco, which the journals have already spoken of.
M. de Ciprey declares that if the Ministry do not take a
decisive step, he cannot, consistent with the dignity of a
representative of France, remain any longer in Mexico.
The President, Santa Anna, who has shown himself so
cruel to our countrymen, thinks he can get over the
matter by changing his Cabinet. He is to dismiss M. de
Bocanegro and his colleagues ; and he hopes that no-
thing further will be said on the matter. The Ministry
is very much embarrassed. It feels the necessity of a
demonstration, but it does not dare to adopt vigorous
measures, though M. Thiers's Ministry, in similar cir-
cumstances, did not hesitate to adopt them."

REVERSAL Or THB IRISH STATE JUDGMENT.—A
very able legal work, called The Justice of the Peace
(edited by barristers and a solicitor, and published
weekly), gives most useful opinions upon legal questions.
The editors have taken a very careful review of the Irish
state " monster" proceedings, and, from Blackstone and
other works, clearly show that the conviction of Mr.
O'Connell and the other traversers was illegal ; that
Lord Denman's observations in the House of Lords was
perectlyisinouanu,
sound law
chemist,w ; and, consequently, that the reversal
of the judgment is correct. This is important for the
public to
.know.
M.
Grimaud,
at Poictiers, has proposed
a mode of rendering poisoning by arsenic more difficult.
He recommends that this article shall be sold only when
mixed with a certain quantity of sulphate of iron and
cyanure of potash. About one per cent. of each substance
would, he alleges, be sufficient. The arsenic, thus qua-
lified, shows itself either by colour or smell, when used in
the various aliments fit for man. Thus, arsenic prepared
this way, and thrown into warm meat soup, gives imme-
diately a green bronze colour ; into hot milk, an opal ;
into red wine, a violet ; into bread, a deep blue ; ana so
on for twenty mixtures, On which M. Grimaud has made I
experiments.

One of the greatest improvements which is in progress
of adoption, and in which the shipping interests are
concerned, connected with the affairs of Lloyd's, is that
of having a room entirely devoted to the reception and
inspection of authorised charts, delineating the bearings
of the coasts of the world. We find that a meeting was
held yesterday afternoon of the merchants connected
with Lloyd's, at which thanks were carried unanimously
to the King of Prussia for a present of a most valuable
set of charts, published by his order, from actual sur-
veys. The same well-deserved compliment was paid
to the East India Company for large number of similar
useful references for the chart-room. No doubt all foreign
governments having a seaboard will follow the example
of his Prussian Majesty, and of the Court of Directors
of the East India Company. Indeed there cannot be a
doubt but that this new and most excellent plan of the
Committee of Lloyd's will be adopted by every country
in civilised Europe, by which the correct and true bear-
ing of distant ports may be had easily by the captains of
vessels who trade with foreigners. The records of the
Admiralty Court are loaded with instances in which
vessels arriving on our coasts have fallen into danger,
and too frequently become a total loss, by the masters
making a vague guess of the course they have to take ;
and the seine may be said in numberless instances with
respect to captains of our own mercantile fleet chartered to
foreign ports. All those who are connected with British
shipping ought, therefore, to aid the grand object of
Lloyd's Committee by forwarding authorised charts so
that the collection may be complete as near as can be.
No late arrivals from the Colonies hare been an-
nounced this morning.
A new set of tables has just been issued by the Com-
missioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, for the
conversion of Stock into annuities for lives and for fixed
periods. The old set of tables did not take so high a
range as par for Consols, and hence the necessity of cal-
culations for annuities to be granted under such a
favourable state of circumstances. It may be useful to
mention that the new tables may be had upon applica-
tion, without fee, at the National Debt-office, in the Old
Jewry.
The market for the English securities is to. day on the

BASTARDY ARREARS.--We have already observed
that a woman cannot recover more than thirteen weeks'
arrears for her bastardy child, if she neglects to make
application to a justice beyound that period. When one
month is due she can proceed against the father, and it
will be advisible not to delay, after a month, making
the necessary application. This new law abounds with
blunders.
