WILSON'S SCOTTISH MINSTRELSY.—Mr. Wilson is
at present making a tour through Sussex, Hampshire,
Kent, and Surrey, and in all the towns which he has
visited, he has been greeted with crowded and enthusias-
tic audiences. At Brighton on Friday night and Satur-
day morning the Newburgh-rooms were crowded to ex-
cess, and many ladies and gentlemen were compelled to
leave without being able to gain admission. On Satur-
day morning, while Mr. Wilson was reading an extract
from one of Burns's letters to Mr. George Thomson, he
said he could not help mentioning that that gentleman,
who had prompted Burns to write so many of his finest
lyrics, and who had been a correspondent of Burns
sixty years ago, was in the room this morning, and,
though several years above fourscore, still enjoyed ex-
cellent health. Mr. Thomson was sitting very near Mr.
Wil,on, and seemed to enjoy most heartily the manner
in which he gave several of Burns's songs. The men-
tion of the old gentleman's name raised the curiosity of
the audience, and every eye was strained to get a
glimpse of him. Mr. Wilson promised another visit to
Brighton in a few weeks, before he starts for Scotland,
and in the meantime goes into Gloucestershire, Devon•
shire, the Isle of Wright and other places.
ACCIDENT ON VA UXII ALL- BRIDGE. —On Friday
morning, as a young man was driving a valuable young
horse, in a light cart, over Vauxhall- bridge, the horse
suddenly shied at two large stones lying near the pave-
ment, swerved on one side, and threw the driver. The
horse then started off at full speed, when the gate-
keeper closed the gate, which the poor animal endea-
voured to clear, but, owing to the dead weight behind,
fell back with great force on the iron spikes INith which
the gate is studded, two of the spikes entering the under-
jaw, and lacerating it in a dreadful manner. The poor
creature commenced plunging violently, smashing the
vehicle, and at length succeeded in disengaging himself
from the spikes, which were much bent, the whole of
the under-jaw being literally flayed, and the throat and
windpipe dreadfully cut.

MR. D'ISRAELI AND HIS CON-
STITUENTS.
(From the Shropshire Conservative.)
On Monday Mr. D'lsraeli paid a visit to Shrewsbury,
to meet his constituents and explain his Parliamentary
conduct during the past session. The Shrewsbury Con-
servative Club met in the Assembly-room of the Lion
Hotel on Wednesday, Mr. James Whitney, in the chair.
Upwards of 400 electors were present, and the health of
11r. D'lsraeli being proposed by the chairman, was
trunk with enthusiastic cheering. In replying to the
toast the Hon. Gentleman made a long speech, from
which we can only give brief extracts.
Mr. D'lsnaem—Gentlemen, your respected chairman
has recommended me to your notice as a champion who
came forward to fight your battles in a time of need,
when there was no other candidate to be found, and ge-
nerously acknowledges that that circumstance should be
the foundation of your future support. I cannot but feel
grateful for so flattering a suggestion ; but I am not
desirous myself of claiming your future support from
feelings of past gratitude, and would rather let my future
conduct be the basis on which you should build your
confidence, and that my claim should ever rest, not as a
past candidate, but as your present representative.—
(Cheers.) I soon had an opportunity, of having my
promise tested ; for, upon my arrival in London, the
first information I received on entering the lobby of
the House of Commons was, that Government had
determined to force the Canadian Corn Bill through
the House ; and my informant inquired what course
I should adopt. I answered that, however painful it
might be to my feelings to oppose the Ministers, I should
not hesitate for a moment in voting against the measure.
I did so ;
.and a Member of the Government—a Cabinet
Minister —the same evening aekeeleese why I did so ; and
said that the people orShrewslitirY did not care about
the measure. It is possible, gentlemen, that you might
have forgiven my tergiversation had I voted for the mea-
sure. and explained to you my reason for doing so was
,he difficulties in which the Conservative Ministers were
placed ; but I had not the moral courage, nor the immo-
ral audacity, to say one thing to my constituents at
Shrewsbury, and within twenty-four hours vote diame-
trically opposite in London.—(Loud cheers.) This, gen-
tlemen, was the first occasion on which I was under the
painful necessity of opposing my friends, the Conserva-
tive Ministry ; but, as a man of honour I ask you, could
I have done otherwise, or could I have rendered my op-
position less offensive ? At that time there was a most
powerful party arrayed against the Government, and
how easy it would have been for me to have made a vio-
lent and damaging speech against them, and have in-
flamed the passions of those friends who were then in
opposition ? Such a course of action on my part would
have told with double effect, because I had defended the
Ministry on their two previous measures ; but I had no
wish to do so, and I only recorded my silent suffrage
against them. Still, gentlemen, I hare been told that
nay opposition was factious. Does such conduct as that
appear factious to you ?—(Cries of " No, no.") Not
long after this, a motion of vital importance, I consider,
to the well-being of the working classes, although not a
political measure, was brought forward by a nobleman
tamed fur his philanthropy, and in some measure
connected with this county I need scarcely say
that 'I mean Lord Ashley. The motion I speak
of was for limiting the duration of labour as far
as regards women and children. There is no
subject, gentlemen, on which I have taken a deeper
interest than the condition, of the working classes.
Long before what is called the condition of the peo-
ple" question was discussed in the House of Commons,
I had employed my pen on the subject. I had long been
aware that there was something rotten in the core of our
social system. I had seen that while immense fortunes
were accumulating—while wealth was increasing to a
superabundance—and while Great Britain was cited
throughout Europe as the most prosperous nation in the
world—the working classes, the creators of wealth, were
steeped in the most abject poverty, and gradually sink-
ing into the deepest degradation.—(Hear, hear) As I
stated before, gentlemen, there is something unsound in
the present state of our social system—one-half the
population is overworked, and the other half under-paid.
—(hear.) It is from these circumstances that we wit-
ness the extraordinary scenes of misery and insubordi-
nation in the manufacturing districts, and see whole pro-
vinces in flames in the agricultural.—(Hear.) The noble
Lord whom I before mentioned had deeply thought on
'hose circumstances ; he had, without political, and cer-
tainly without factious motives, instituted committees of
inquiry, who had published reports on the condition of
the labouring classes, full of details so astounding that
they had caused a sensation throughout the entire king-
dom, which has never been equalled since the publica-
tion of the first report on the slave trade. Upon the
noble Lord bringing forward his measure for reducing
the hours of labour of women and children, I, with a
powerful party, composed of men of all political creeds,
voted in its favour. The Government having been twice
defeated by the Noble Lord, you would have thought
that they would have bowed to the decision of the
House. But no. A Cabinet Council was held, and Sir
Robert Peel came down to the House and called upon
the Members to rescind their votes. I wish to speak
here with frankness; it has been said by some, that this
was an unconstitutional, an illegal, and a violent act of
Sir Robert Peel. It certainly is not so. I do not think
it is unconstitutional for a Minister to request the House
of Commons to reconsider any question upon which
there is a possibility that they might have been mis-
taken. It certainly is one of the last efforts of a Mi-
nister; but, the House having rescinded their vote, I
consider that Sir Robert Peel was amply justified in the
course he pursued.—(Hear, hear.) You do not, I am
sure, consider it factious on my part because I voted
against the Ministry on these occasions—l deeply de-
plored the difficulties they had to contend against, but I
ties.—(Hear, hear.) What, however, was the next step
of this Conservative Government ? In the last throes
couldan dagonies
a n my principles because of those difficul-
ties.—(Hear,
of the Whig Administration, Lord John
Russell brought forward a measure which would mate-
rially injure the interests of our West India colonists.
This was done by the expiring Ministry in the hope of
exciting the sympathies of a large and powerful class,
and to endeavour to draw wealth into an impoverished
exchequer. Sir Robert Peel and the Conservative party
opposed that Bill, and the Whigs were driven from office
upon it. This is not the place to discuss the merits of
the Bill. I only want to place the facts of the case be-
fore you, so that you, as a jury, should decide upon my
conduct. What did the Conservative party do when in
office ? Lord Sandon—avowedly under the direction of
Sir Robert Peel—brought in a Bill virtually, if not pre-
cisely, the same as the one upon which the Whigs were
expelled from office. I am not ambitious enough,
nor vain enough, to place myself in juxtaposition
with Sir Robert Peel ; he has means of information
which might have shown him that he was wrong on his
first opposition to the Bill, and might have seen the ne-
cessity of adopting it on the present occasion ; but if he
possesses those extraordinary means, lie should have
taken some pains to teach his supporters the secret, or,
at all events, make some appeal to their feelings and un-
derstandings for the necessity of its adoption. Instead
of that, however, he came down most abruptly to the
House, and called upon his followers to support him,
without taking the trouble to assign any reason for the
sudden change. What could I and the independent por-
tion of his followers do ? Why, vote precisely as we
voted three years before. Was that factious ? The
first time I came down amongst you as your representa-
tive, I said in this room, " I have fulfilled the first pledge
I gave you—l have turned out the Whigs ;" but could I
have come before you as an honest man on the present
measure which I voted against to turn
cheers.) On that occasion I
ofourtt occasion,itihees
elvlafn-hsdi
agmssitey' " I have kept in the Tories, by voting
?"-(Loud
again gave a silent vote, not because I was not desired,
nay, requested, by some of the most eminent men to
speak on the subject ; but I had a great personal regard
for the Prime Minister, and I felt that I could not enter
into the
to bhjis ctfe
g much that would be un-
pleasant abstained from speaking.
The division took place, and the Ministers were beaten
sueelings. without
asanydin I
—the strong Conservative Government was defeated,
and great was the wailing and gnashing of teeth.
No gentlemen could be brought up from the country
to cover the defeat—no Members could he prevailed
upon to unsay
what or undo they had said or done pre-
viously,
and consternation prevailed in the Ministerial
ranks. It was rumoured that the Ministers were about
to resign. Indeed, I was told—not as a secret—by two
members of the Administration, that they actually had
resigned. I can assure you that it was with feelings of
great pain
I received this intelligence, but it did not
alter my conviction on the measure • Upon entering the
House of Commons,
.however, I found that they had not
resigned; but that Sir Robert Peel had determined on
asking us again to rescind our votes, and said if we did
not do so we must abide by the consequences. I could
not silently obey the imperious mandate which he put
forth; and I warmly and passionately, but quite unpre-
meditatedly, expressed my feelings on the subject. The
manner of my address, and the expressions I used, were,
perhaps, not so exactly proper as if I had been more
prepared;
but the circumstances of the case were a suffi-
warmth, and I
cient justification of my do not now re
gret or wish to recal a single expression I then made
use of.— (Loud cheers.) When the division came, how-
ever, the Ministers were in a majority ; but how was
that majority obtained? Why, the champions, the
orators, the oracles of the Anti-Corn law League crossed
the House, and carried the 1% inisters in triumph to their
lobby.—(Hear, hea •
) Was I wrong in the conduct I
had pursued? No. In two days afterwards the most
prudent of orators, if not of statesmen, came down to the
House and made an apologetic speech, for the first time
in his life—because he bad always been more cautious,
more courteous, and because, in fact, he had never before
given offence.—(hear, hear.) Was not that a sufficient
justification of my conduct ? His own friends said
afterwards that they were astonished at his want of
caution, want of temper, and the arrogant and imperious
tone he adopted on the occasion; and if I had sat silent
during the haughty address, and craven like had trembled
on my seat without the courage to resent it, how could
I have dared afterwards to meet honourable and jade-

pendent men, and say I had done my duty to them 6,3
their representative ?—(Loud and long-continued cheers )
I have entered into the details of these circumstances
longer than I fear has been pleasant to you ; but they
are not utterly without interest to you. I have do tiame
—no powerful interest—no great influence—l am nothing
in the House of Commons but Member for Shrewsbury ;
and part of the obloquy which I may draw upon myself
must necessarily fall. upon you ; and if I should gain a
little triumph, let me know that you Will share it with
me, and that you will enable me to say, " We elected
this stranger, and will support him, for we have found
him an independent and an honest representative." The
Hon. Member gave a brief sketch of his career in the
House of Commons, and concluded by saying—All men
have their great object, and I have attained it already.
If I had wanted a crumb of the public plunder, I have
little doubt that I could have gained it as other men
have. Let me be fairly understood. I am no political
Pharisee, to thank God that I am not like this man of
that man. If I had the same objects in view, lam per-
haps as frail in my nature as others, and would use the
same means to attain the sathe end. I nepire, however,
to gain public fame, public respect, and public approba-
tion. If I can achieve this I shall have attained all I
seek for. This is my ambition—let other men follow
theirs. They may ridicule the magnificence of my
aspirations, and endeavour to taint the purity of my mo-
tives. Let them do so ; they will not induce me to
alter my course. I seek no pecuniary reward ; I
have ample reward in the generous, the honest, the
confiding support of a thorough English constitu-
ency. If I have not an independent constituency, where
am I to look for one ? 'Where is the proud Baron,
or the many-acred Squire, who can i nperiotssly
say to you, " Return me this man or that as your repre-
sentative?" You are no political sham, but an honest
and independent constituency, equal in intelligence to
one half of the Members of the House of Commons. I
met you first, perhaps, in a great measure by accident ;
but I had not long been among you before I said to my-
self, "I have row found a society of enlightened men in
whom I can confide, and if they place confidence in me,
the smiles or frowns of a Minister will have no effect on
my conduct."—(Cheers.) The miserable insinuations of
third-rate men, who hint that I have been refused a
place, and that the independent course I have taken
against the Ministry arises from disappointment, have
no effect on me, and I will never take the trouble to
answer them. Sir Robert Peel knows me—we have
132(n some years on terms of private intimacy, and he
knows me too well to think for a moment that any pecu-
niary circumstances influence my conduct. Let him—
the Minister—once statethst in public, and I will answer
the charge, but not till then. No, gentlemen, I aspire
to no petty post or miserable pecuniary benefit—let
those who do obtain them ; they have my consent. I
aspire to rise in the eyes of the public ; and, let who
will be Minister, I will fearlessly follow the dictates of
my own conscience, for I know I can return to my con-
stituents without dread, confident that they will appre-
ciate my motives and support me in my independent ex-
ertions.—(Cheers.) These words, gentlemen, are not
uttered during the heat and excitement of a contested
election—neither are they the bragadocian boastings of
a tavern oration—they are words I wish you to recollect
—words, let me tell you, I have spoken in my place in
the House of Commons to the Prime Minister. No
man has given a more generous, a more disinterested, and
let me ad,l—when in opposition—a more efficient sup-
port ; I have had frequent tokens of his private grai •
tude, and during the last session I have received the
public testimony of his respect. I was his supporter
when in adversity—in prosperity I will not be his slave.
(The Honourable Gentleman sat down amid tremendous
cheering.)

MEHEMET ALL
(From the Examiner.)
A youthful prank, played by an old gentleman of
eighty, Mehemet Ali, has frighted the Levant, and but
for the more juvenile pranks of the French, would have
caused still greater affright. His sage Highness, the
Nestor of the Mediterranean, went to a party, committed
an excess, and got so uproarious and extravagant, that no
Irishman, before the invention of teetotalism, ever
equalled it. He beat his women, cuffed his Minister,
cursed- his physician, broke his pipe, and flung his fez
out of the window. At last he sent for 250,000 purses,
and flinging himself into a boat, set sail, or oars, for
Cairo, bent on a spree, but acquainting his worthy
Alexandria subjects that he was bound for Mecca. The
old sinner ! Sheridan, dead drunk, acquainting the
watchmen who picked him up that he was no other
than Mr. Wilberforce, lied not more comically than Me-
hemet Ali, when he said he was going to Mecca.
But we much fear that we could never let our readers
into the mysteries of the Oriental ergie, nor describe,
except in metaphor, a Turkish jollification. We can
merely imitate those artists who condescend but
to sketch, who draw a line here, daub a shade
there, and leave every one to fill up the pic-
ture for himself. The feast in question was
given by Mehemet's daughter, the widow of
Defterdar Bey ; in honour, too, of the wedding of one of
the family. The old Pacha was invited, and was served,
of course, alone, with viands the most spicy, and drinks
the most exciting. The drink was not wine, for that is
forbidden by the prophet. It rather resembled that
drink at Irish temperance halls, where whiskey is pro-
hibited, but where cordials concocted of alcohol dis-
guised with ginger and pimento, are swallowed, as not
only compatible with the pledge, but highly honouring
it. So Mehemet's tipple was more of the spicy than the
spirituous. Anti instead of making him good-natured
in his cups, it made his Highness very much the con-
trary ; for he set about beating all the women, to the
horror of eunuchs, black and white. He then made off,
as we have described, in a tangent, Ibrahim going to all
sorts of devices to send his physicians after him ; smug-
gling them first into the house, and then into the boat.
Such is a magre and true outline of an event which
has much alarmed politicians, and even the Alexandrians,
although their affright was considerably intermixed with
laughter. There was neither conspiracy nor revolution.
It was not a deep-laid plot of Ibrahim's, nor yet of the
Marquis of Lavalette, French Consul, nor yet of any
hostile Turk. It was simply the political effect of a
social orgie.

A WELCOME DISCOVERT.—A week or two ago,
while a boat's crew were at work at Loch Ryan, fishing
—not for fins, but sweet-smelling seaweed, to be applied
as manure—the drag grappled some harder substance,
which, when raised to the surface, resembled strongly a
batch of oysters. This species of shell-fish abounds in
one of the loveliest marine lakes in Scotland, stretching
for leagues, shaped like a fan, rippling opposite shores,
including Glenapp, and leading directly to Ailsa Craig.
Oysters, like muscles, and the whole barnacle tribe, cling
tenaciously to every firm substance, particularly buoys,
which in some situations are dragged downwards to an
extent that they require to be cleaned, painted, and re-
floated from their sand-bank moorings once a year.
In the present case, the unknown article was taken on
board, and when freed by scraping from a thick coating
of shell fish, a kernel stood revealed, in the welcome
form of a large jar of excellent cognac brandy. The
fishermen, as may be supposed, were quite overjoyed to
find both meat and drink thus unexpectedly provided ;
knives were in immediate requisition, and, after lunching
heartily on oysters, each man received a bumper noggin,
to stimulate or quicken the process of digestion, and put
him in good humour for further exertion. how long the
jar had lain in brine, shallow at the side, or:bywhat accident
it was placed in such a position,gare questions which it is
easier to put than answer ; but we suppose the piscators
would hare no objection to a similar windfall every time
they put to sea, whether in netting herrings or dragging
for dulce and tangle.—Greenock Journal.
DEWSBURY.—COMICAL ADVENTURES.—MOHday last
being Brewster sessions, at Wakefield, and likely to be
the last there for the Dewsbury publicans to attend in
that town (Dewsbury being about to have a district
sessions for all purposes), the stout landlords and their
dames, mostly " fat, fair, and forty," along with a num-
ber of their friends, must needs pay the farewell Brews-
ter visit. Conveyances of all sorts and sizes were in re-
quisition and obtained, well loaded with the owners of
the been barrel and representatives of the bung hole, who
in a short time were jogging their journey to Wakefield.
Some fine sport took place on the road. One unlucky
bonifaco had the mishap to drop one of his legs on the
road, without, however, the least pain, or the loss of one
drop of blood; the limb was in a very rigid state, and
the owner did not feel his loss until on getting off
the coach at Wakefield he fell into the street. A
doctor (a'ias joiner) was immediately sent for, who fur-
nished the deficient man with crutches, and ordered
him into his surgery until he provided him with a
new leg. On his way to the " doctor's" shop he met a
person in a light cart vigorously holding up the unlucky,
forlorn-looking leg, and which he handed to the bereaved
owner, who, after having sundry repairs done to it,
placed it on a more secure footing alongside his fleshy
' companion. After the Brewster business was done, and
the glorious dinners dispatched, general attention was
devoted to the department of liquors, and deep drinking
was the order of the day. In a few hours the convey-
ances were ordered out for the return ; but the ascent
of the coaches was not so easy a task ; the natural equi-
librium was lost, and ladders were therefore obtained,
and " sich a Oats' up stairs we never did see." Sonie
were literally carried up the ladders and laid on the
coaches, and those who were not so far gone had enough
to do to keep them from redline. off. On arriving
home, three neighbour landlords had lost all power of
locomotion, and in order to dismount them a wag sug-
gested that a plank should be obtained on which to slide
them down as heavy luggage. The vehicles ran against
each other several times on the return, but no serious
accident occurred.
SHEERNESS, AUG. 28.—1 t is currently reported in
the Dockyard that instructions have been received for
five of the advance ships at this port to be brought for-
ward for commission. The London, 90, has been taken
into the fitting basin. The Amazon has very nearly
completed rigging, preparatory to being commissioned.
The greatest activity prevails in every department of the
Dockyard,—Brighton Herald.

TRIPOLI.

The following is a more detailed account than that
we published in our edition of yesterday of the pre-
tient state of the disturbances in Tripoli and their
origin

A serious revolt has broken out in the interior of
Tripoli, which threatens alarming consequences. Up-
wards of 6,000 men from Iffreen, liikkeli, and Ray-
ann, have taken up arms. Their leader is
Shah, ex-Minister of the deposed Mahmudi family
who have taken refuge in Constantinople, but who
have recently repaire to Sefax, and thence to the
mountains of Geba], where they are spreading the
flames of revolution.
" The principal cause of the revolution," says
letter from Tripoli, "is the heavy taxation which
directly and indirectly gravitates upon those tribes.
The present F"iha's administration is doubtlessly in
clever hands, but it nnght to be managed with less
precipitancy, and the taxation be more proportionate
to individual income. The zeal for rasing and for-
warding money to Constantinople is what ocnneions
stores to be empty, baggages deficient, and, conse.
quently, the marching of troops delayed until ammu-
nition stores are prepared. Such loss of time may
benefit the Miludi mountaineers, who are sufficiently
wise so as to avail of it, and take the offensive. Thus
may the revolution be further propagated, and the
rebels rendered more daring."
The principal point of attack by the rebels is the
Castle of Iffren, which has been recently built by the
Turks, but which is supposed to be too strong for
their resources. According to it letter from Tripoli
of the 7th of August, which is published by the Malta
pipers, the rebels are supported by some neighbouring
Powers, and it will increase Lord Aberdeen's confi-
dence in the good faith of the French in Africa to
find that they are not without suspicion of being at
the bottom of this revolt :

"The Bey of Tunis," says the letter in question,
"is desirous of weakening the Ottoman Power on his
frontiers, and the French have more particular reasons
to provoke disturbances and civil war at Tripoli, and
undermine the Ottoman Power. This will greatly
facilitate their conquering the territories of Sauf and
Tuggurt, under the colour of philanthropic policy,
and then claim the thanks of Europe for their having
occupied that country. In my last I had foreseen
what the French might do, and the events now seem
to justify my prophecy, though many at first had
tared it with exaggeration."
Later accounts state that the Castle of Iffren is
suffering from want of water and provisions, and all
communication having been cut off with it by the
rebels, the Pacha was making all efforts to send rein-
forcements to the fortress, but without success. The
following is the latest information we have on the
subject :
" TRIPOLI, AUG. 11.—Many more camels have
been loaded at the Castle, this morning, with ammu-
nition stores, and sent into the interior. Two couriers
are arrived, and bring the intelligence that the horse-
men sent by the Pacha to open by force the passage
to the Castle of Iffren, have been beaten and re-
pulsed. It is said that the mountaineers had opposed
a more numerous cavalry than the Turkish, which
is hardly possible. They not using horses at
all—they must have been supplied by the tribes of
Naei and Arguma belonging to the regency of Tunis.
I understand that the Turkish expedition will march
off on the 13th. Gold is rising—the Mahboub in
gold is willingly received at nine piasters of Tripoli
—a higher price than ordinary. The weekly markets
are abandoned—the Arabs are afraid.
"AUGUST 12.—The rumour of the loss of Ismail
Bey, colonel of the regular cavalry, seems to be con-
firmed, but it is not ascertained if killed or taken
prisoner. The Pacha's son will set out immediately
for Bengazy in a man of war. A rumour is in town
that some Europeans are among the mountaineers to
direct their military► movements. They can be no
other people than French, if true. I have sufficiently
intimated in my preceding correspondence, that eter-
nal disquietude is at the bottom of this affair. The
French Consul is angry at this fact being published,
at the moment of its execution. It is irksome to the
French to find people less stupid than their arrogance
will let them believe."

THE QUEEN'S CONTEMPLATED PROGRESSES.—It is
the intention of the Queen to embark on board the Royal
yacht Victoria and Albert to-morrow week, the 9th
instant, and proceed direct to Scotland. Lord Glenlyon
having placed Blair Castle at the disposal of her Ma-
jesty, she will occupy it for a few weeks, together with
the Royal Establishment ; but the precise period of the
Queen's stay in the Highlands has not been determined
on. This visit of her Majesty to Scotland is to be a pri-
vate, and not what is called a state one.—Observer.
FATAL ACCIDENT.-011 Saturday afternoon, as
William Carson, servant to Lieutenant Swinton, of the
4th battalion of the Royal Artillery, was returning from
on board the Sir Robert Peel, convict-ship, lying off the
Arsenal, Woolwich, he stepped into a wherry at the
moment a steamer was passing, the swell from which
caused the boat to roll heavily, and losing his balance,
ho fell overboard and sunk. The drags were imme-
diately resorted ta, but nothing whatever of the de-
ceased has been discovered. The deceased, who bore an
excellent character in the garrison, has left a wife and
seven children to deplore his untimely end.
On Tuesday, as one of the assistant priests in the
parish of St. goverin, was proceeding to the church to
say mass, he was accosted by a young workman, who,
with an open poinard knife in his hand, loaded him with
abuse, and appeared determined to stab him. Some
passers-by interfered, and persuaded the young man to
go away. He returned, however, some minutes after,
armed a ith a razor, and this time he was arrested, and
taken to a neighbouring post. He there declared that
he had had a grudge for a long time against the priest
for having prevented him from making his first coin-
munion, not finding him, as he said, in a fit frame of mind.
Slurs' STORES.—The Board of Customs having
had under consideration a representation of Messrs.
Finnis and Fisher, shipping and provision agents, com-
plaining of the delay and inconvenience which is ex-
perienced in consequence of all tobacco and cigars re-
moved by lighters for exportation as stores, being re-
quired by the Board's minute of 1843 to be accompanied
by a tidewaiter ; and it appearing, from the reports of
the practical officers, and the practice of sending a tide-
waiter In charge of tobacco, removed for shipment as
stores, may be dispensed with, except when the quan-
tity is very large, or when the searcher clearing for
goods may have reason to suspect fraud, and provided
that the shippers of tobacco as stores from the bonding
warehouses, or entitled to drawback, be required to pro-
duce to the clearing searcher the official document for
the same, signed by the tidewaiter, if any be on board
the vessel, and if not, by the master or mate, in proof of
the receipt of goods on board the vessel, and that the
searcher shall not clear the vessel until such receipt
upon the official document alluded to be delivered to him,
orders have been issued to the officers at the several
departments and stations to govern themselves in future
accordingly, care being taken that the regulations of the
minute of August, 1843, respecting the shipment of
stores, be most strictly adhered to.
EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF TOBACCO.--A most im-
portant seizure was on Saturday made by the Excise on
the premises of Mr. F. Ryder, tobacco-manufacturer, of
Chiswell-street, Finsbury-square. From information
received, Messrs. Adolphus Mark and John Wilde, two
indefatigable officers and examiners-general of Excise,
proceeded to the above premises, and requested to exa-
mine the stock of tobacco, which was readily acceded to,
and the result was, that they discovered a large quantity
of manufactured tobacco, which appeared to them to be
adulterated with an article resembling peat. They ac-
cordingly seized the whole, and pursuing their search,
found a large pan, containing a solution of honey, or
some other saccharine matter. They then proceeded to
an adjoining room, which they minutely examined. It
contained a cupboard, which they found to be locked,
and on requesting the key of it, they were told that the
key had been lost for a considerable time, consequent)),
they were unable to produce it. The officers, not satis-
fied with this answer, determined that the cupboard
should be examined, and an iron bar, being procured,
fond about 701 b. of
it was forced open, and within was
peat, or a similar article to that,m believedto beitsmiut
with the tobacco. Upon the officers inquiring
they were informed, that it had been there for some
years, when the law allowed tobacco-manufacturers to
have such articles in their possession. In the course of
their search they also found a vessel containing Vene-
tian red and a mixture of other ingredients, but during
the time the officers were engaged in the inner apart-
'wilt, the pan of saccharine matter had entirely disap-
peared, and was nowhere to be found. By the assistance
of Messrs. Spurger and Cowie, the whole stock was de-
posited in a van, and conveyed to the Excise-office to
be adjudicated upon by, her Majesty's Commissioners.
Another seizure was made on
MAGICIt samel'era.s.
three months since.
