THE ARMY.

AL Detachment of the 44th Foot arrived in town yester-
day, from Bristol, on route to Deal.
Detaehmenjes belonging to the East India Company's
Artillery and Infantry embarked yesterday, en board a
steam-vessd in the River, for Gravesend, on route to
Chatham.

The 50th Regiment of Infantry has move) from Man-
chester to Bolton.

Detachments of the 18th Foot, and the Rifle Brigade,
embarked on the 13th inst. at Plymouth, for the Mediter-
ranean.

On Friday Captains Wigley, Manse], and White's troop
of the 6th or Enniskillen Dragoons, under the command
of Major Warraud, arrived ira our barracks, from Nor-
wich. The three remaining troops have reached Notting-
ham from Ipswich, which is now their head-quarters.—
Sheffield Iris.
On Wednesday last, a detachment of the 7th Dragoons,
including head-quarters, arrived at York from Millie, in
Lancashire.—Hull Packet.

The 67th Regiment of Foot, whose arrival in this town
we mentioned before, still remains here, though originally
destined for Ireland. It is possible that the tranquillization
of that country may occasion a change of route.—Liver-
pool Advertiser.

• Thore is every reason to believe, that France
and Russia are about to make common cause in the Medi-
terranean. Indeed, several attaches to the French Expe-
dition, are already giving us to understand as much. Let
WELLINGTON look to This. He may, by a stretch of in-
dulgence, be forgiven for having been duped ; but the na-
tion will be-stern in its indignation shou'd he permit him-
self, and more esprcially his country,' to be directly insulted.
The commercial and political interests, as well as the na-
tional character of Britain, have already suffered too much
at his hands, to hear a large addition to it present disgraces
and embarrassments.— Glasgow Free Press.

Last Monday morning, at ten minutes to two
o'clock, the Henry Bell steamer, on her way from Liver-
pool to Greenock. sustained considerable damage in conse-
quence of coming in collision with a schooner between
Lamlash and Brodick-bay. The wind was blowing fresh
from the north-east, and the night being very dark, three
lights were placed on different parts of the strainer, and the
necessary hands stationed on deck. The schooner hail no
lights, and, of course, was not seen till almost within two
lengths. The engine was immediately stopped, but with-
out effect, as the schooner ran aboard of her, and carried
away her foremast, which it shattered in pieces, and stove
in her stern bow. Fortunately, there were no persons on
deck but what were necessary, else the consequences might
have been fatal. Besides having no light out, there was
no person on the deck of the schooner but the pilot. - The
shock which the vessel received, however, brought her
careless crew above ; but, although informed of the damage
they had done, they showed the greatest callousness, as to
the result; and being repeatedly asked what vessel she
was, no other information could be got than that she was
the John, which was communicated by a boy. Steam
vessels experience very great inconvenience in consequence
of sailing vessels being so remiss in neglecting to have
lights out; in the Channel it is absolutely necessary, and
if accidents occur, and the saiiling vessels be the sufferers,
they have only themselves to blame.— Greenock Ad.
ICEBERGS IN THE SOUTHERN OCEAN.—
A letter from Batavia, dated the 2d of last June, written
by Captain Jueosturrf, of the .Eliza brig, of Antwerp,
whit
in has been received at the Marine-office, published by
oril of the Minister, and signed by his Excellency, states,
the the 28th of April last, when doubling the Cape of
Go : Hope, he fell in with five floating icebergs, having
the appearance of church steeples, and the height of which
might be from 250 to 360 feet. The sea broke against
these enormous masses of ice in such a manner, that it was
at first thought they were fixed on some unknown shoal,
but the soundings proved the contrary. Official reports
published in 1992; mention similar islands of ice seen in
1789, in lat. 37 deg. 22 min. and 38 deg. 44 min., and
in long. 43 iieg. 41 min. and 42 deg. 50 min. by his Ma-
jesty's ships Thetis, Swallow, and Mercury, the height of
whizii, above the surface of the sea, was also estimated at
300 or 400 feet. M. JUCOMETTI fell in with the icebergs
in question in lat. 37 deg. 31 min. south, and in long. 18
deg.. 17 min. east of Greenwich, and passed within a quar-
ter of a mile of them. After leaving the island of La Tri-
nite, Captain Jucomyrrr constantly met with a current
setting to the north, which lie thinks must be ascribed to
these ice islands. He thought it likely they might reach
the latitude of 34. or 35. before they melted.—Brussels
Paper.

For some years past a number of vagrants,
varying from 30 to 60, including both sexes, have taken
up their permanent abode in one of the caves at Cuvesea,
about five miles to the northward of Elgin. They engage
in no kind of commerce, not even in mending umbrellas,
pots, pans, or any of the thousand and one etceteras ; nor
do they make any pretensions to the sometimes profitable pro-
fession of fortune-telling. They traverse the surrounding
country in clusters of from three to four besides the weans,
most probably in rotation, for the purpose of begging ; and
when not sufficiently successful in that honourable vocation,
they make no scruple to find (steal) a few hens, or other
domestic fowl., for the good of the community who occupy
Hell's Hole—the expressive epithet by which their place of
residence is designated. In their perambulations through
the country they are invariably accompanied ly one or two
of that steady creature--the ass ; with per baps three or
four children inserted in poaches on each side of the animal.
Their place of residence, all things considered, is certainly
a most singular one. The entrance to the cave is
from the west, and opens into a large amphitheatre,
well sheltered, and where their asses find plenty of
grass. In a fine sunshine day dozens of them may be
seen sleeping and basking in Sol's rays; and lots of
weans may he seen scrambling about, while here and there
you witness a few particles of clothes, if they may be
called so, drying in the sun after being steeped in water—
washing them out is out of the question. The cave in
which this singular people live is an excavation by nature
out of a huge mass of rock, about 20 feet broad and 30
feet high at its entrance, gradually getting lower and nar-
rower as it proceeds backwards to a very great distance.
In its remoter district there is nothing but perpetual
darkness visible." It is a singular scene, even in the
day-time, to witness a group of 13 or 14 biped animals
sitting on the ground, near the mouth of the cave, round
a fire, into which they at intervals throw whin bushes,
which, getting up into a blaze, chews their physiognomy to
advantage in all their hues ; while those in the back ground
are lying on straw in groups of three and four, with an
old blanket or cloak above them, and ranged on each side
of the cave, so as to leave a free passage, there being no
other outlet for the smoke of their fires tkan the entrance of
the cave ; and from its situation there is scarcely ever any
wind to carry it off, which gives the place a most singular
appearance.—Elgtn Courier.

The question has often been asked whether
the Turks have not deteriorated since the time of
their forefathers who took Constantinople. They
have lost a portion of their religious zeal, and
through that some of their military energy ; but
for the most part they continue the same as they
are described to us by the writers of the 15th cen-
tury, with nearly the same gocd and evil quali-
ties—indolent in peace, bloodthirsty when they
are irritated, greedy oppressors of their subjects
but generally speaking fair and honourable in
their dealings with foreigners. They .now, as
formerly, destroy villages for the purpose of build-
ing hospitals ; an oath is sacred among them,
but they despise our European politics and all its
maxims. They often possess a sense of honour-
able feeling, but seldom that of pity. To the
founders of the reigning house they are, it is true,
devotedly. attached, but they often oppose, and
sometimes rebel against the reigning Sultan. In
their pleasures they display roughness of manners
and sensuality, but they in general exhibit great
temperance. Without murmuring, they go from
a state of luxury and enjoyment to one of great'
distress and deprivation.—They are commonly
good husbands and fathers, notwithstanding the
state of bigamy is allowed, but which is not
nearly so often to be met with among them as
is generally believed ; for the most part it is kept
up and practised more from a feeling of osten-
tation and vanity than any thing else. A Turk
is as capable of the warmest friendship as of the
most cruel vengeance. He often displays the
possession of the most chivalric courage, as well
as the most stoic indifference. The Turks will
throw themselves into the thickest ranks of their
enemy's troops, without giving the preponderance
of their opponents' power a thought, and the
next moment they will submit to be cut down
with their pipes i❑ their mouths, without even
making a show of resistance. 'With unshaken
constancy they go from their rich and voluptuous
palaces into a state of exile, and change a throne
for a sheepfold : and their own lives they as wil-
lingly sacrifice as those of their victims.—The
Turks are accustomed to consider themselves as
the obedient slaves of a blind and inevitable
destiny, or as the dreadful executors of its com-
mands. Thus continues to this day the great
mass of the Turks.

But there is among them a very corrupt class
of people—namely, those who live at the Court
of the Sultan, and through whom alone the con-
duct of the Pachas in the various Turkish pro-
vinces is viewed and examined. These people
are avaricious and bloodthirsty, and exercise all
sort of oppression and cruelty; they are reproach-
ed for their effeminate degradation from their
ancestors, and with their meanness and coward-
ice ; and through the union of these qualities
they have become unfit for the exercise of cou-
rageous, noble, and energetic actions. For-
merly the Turkish Divan, or High Council, con-
sisted of six Ministers, but some of the Viziers
have governed for a considerable time without
calling the Council together. Since the Sultan
Selim's reforms and alterations, some civil and
military officers have sat in the Divan ; but the
present Sultan often summons thereto many
more tried and distinguished officers. These
changes, which have not long been granted, to
the great advantage of the Constitution of the
Turkish empire, destroy the single advantage of
despotism. They not only often sell power in the
empire to the most rebellious and cruel Pachas,
but they even sometimes sell it to foreigners.
But besides this Council there yet exists a
hidden body, which possesses more influence and
power than that of time Divan and the Ministers
put together. This power resides in the Sera-
glio, and the favourites, the eunuchs, the agents
of the mother of the Sultan, or the eminently
beloved women, form it. This party is again
divided into numerous subdivisions, but it always
possesses power enough to prevent the decrees
of the Viziers, the Ministers, or the whole
Divan, from being put in force, and sometimes
even those of the Sultan himself, from its great
power among the people. Hence arises that
uncertainty in the views and measures of the
Porte which is so generally charged against it,
and with justice.

What great changes have taken place in the
interior and the exterior relations, through the
immense abuses in'thie dismembered country,
especially since a mighty enemy has invaded it !
It is not probable that Turkey will be overturned
by any of the seditious Pachas, especially when
it is remembered that all the repeated insurrec-
tions which have taken place in that country--
although many of them have been fortunate and
successful at first-sohave never lasted longer than
the lives of their several undertakers. It was the
case with those of Pacha Oghi, with Djezzar,
and also of the celebrated Ali Pacha of Janina.
Perhaps Mohammed Ali of Egypt loos a presen-
timent of a 'similar event, and therefore delays
making a declaration of independence and break-
ing with the Turk, which he certainly has long
had in contemplation. These 'satraps have only
thought of founding mew dynasties, but their
pride and vanity have et against
Turkey.
Besides the Sultan, Pachas, and their military
troops, there arc yet many other inhabitants of
Turkey. Ten or twelve different races of people
inhabit the Turkish empire, who most cordially
hate each other, but who all join in. h,: ing their
vanquishers. The Copts, the Syrians, the Arabs,
the Kurds, the Drnseq, the Turkomans, and the
Armenians, in Asia ; and the Greeks, the S'Az-
vonians, the Albanians, and Wallachians iit
Europe—each of these different people believe
that if the Sultan's. throne in Constantinople
should be overturned, they would instantly become
independent. For a considerable period the
Turkish Government has made use of tine
people, as the Romans formerly did, to keep
another under the rein, and this has hitherto suc-
ceeded admirably. What would all these people
do on the success of the Russians, and the fall
of Constantinople ? This is a question which
must be maturely considered, when we come to
reflect on the present boundaries and situations and
the probable subjugation of the Turkish empire.
The true Turks—namely, the Asiatic hordes,
will -certainly oppose a vanquisher, and seek to do
him all the injury in their power; it is also probable
that the Albanians, the Bosnians, and' the Alts
cedonian Turks, will oppose an enemy, and will
come forward and attack him on an sides ; and
as usual on the formation of a camp they will
destroy and devastate all the surrounding country.
Greece would become an independent state In
the south—Moldavia and Wallachia be given up
to Russia—and Servia be surrendered to Austria.
There is also to be considered another subject,
namely, that there are many parts of the Turkish
empire whose inhabitants would not willingly
exchange their present nominal vassalage and
almost entire independence of the Pachas, for d,
real and palpable subjection to Austria and Rus-
sia. These two powers would find a great deal
to do in the interior of Turkey before they could
pacify the country, even if they were successful
in conquering it. Their efforts are net favoura-
bly decided, although they may be able to retain
possession of the country for a considerable
period.

The Prussian General, Valentini, points out,
in a work he recently published, the different
routes, as. well as the distances by which the
enemy could advance upon Constantinople. Two
campaigns appear to him necessary for the suc-
cess of such an expedition. But en the pro-
bable success of such an attack would the other
European powers remain inactive, and only look
on as idle spectators ? And even if they suc-
ceeded in taking Constantinople, would the war
then terminate? On the contrary, immediately
on such an event occurring, a far more extensive
and destructive war would commence. We are
apt to forget, that not merely a single nation in-
habits Turkey, but twenty different zealous,
proud, and warlike races of people. For this
reason a country like Turkey cannot be con-
quered merely by the loss of a great battle, or
by the conquest of their renowned capital, as
was the case with Prussia by Napoleon Bona-
parte. When the conquering army had no longer
a Sultan to vanquish and besiege, they would
still find they had the population to combat, and
this mould probably be found more difficult than
the first combat. We will now take a view of
the population of European Turk •

V ALKIRK TRYST.

(From the Scotsman.)

The last of the three trysts for the season com-
menced on Monday. We have repeatedly cheered
nor Highland friends with the prospect of a good
market, and we believe that it has exceeded their
•
highest expectations. It will be recollected that
the supply of cattle was unusually large at the August
Tryst, and that there was in consequence a serious
fall in the prices. At the September market, though
roost of the holders of three yearling slots and
heifers came off without loss, small cattle were alto-
gether unsaleable, and the market on the whole very
dull. Observing how business had gone, and the
number of cattle that remained unsold on the after-
noon of Wednesday, not a few of the Southern
blades complacently smiled, tossed their heads, and
told the mortified Norlanders that at the October
tryst the cattle would be got for an old
song. They have, however, been grievously
disappointed. The general complexion of the
markets has since undergone a great change,
and the Highlanders have again had their day.
Before sunrise on Monday, the sheep began
to pour into the field, and the whole supply was, as
usual, ranged on the stands by ten o'clock. It is
well known that there can be only a guess made at
the total number, but there is no doubt that there
were 50,000 sheep on the muir, fully 10,000 under
the aggregate shewn at last tryst. The weather
having been so long dry, the roads were good, and
the fodder being abundant, the stock was, on the
whole, in as good condition as any ever shewn at
Falkirk. They had been driven leisurely and care-
fully along-not a lame one was to be seen-and the
droves • m the distant hills and wilds of
Sinhcr ithness, were as fat and full of
spirit, as if t ey had only been brought from a
neighbouring fold. By the time the lots were
arranged, such a number of purchasers ap-
peared, as convinced the holders that they
might depend on a good sale. After hav-
ing taken a rapid survey, and tried a little
manoeuvring, business began, and went on with
more spirit than has been seen at. any tryst since
1825. There were so many lots of black-faced wed-
ders so near a par in point of excellence, that the
best judges were rather at a loss to which to give the
preference. The Glenquaich and Glenochay lots
were, however, allowed on all hands to be the best.
They had evidently been selected with great care.-
They were large in the bone, good fat, remarkably
lively, and, in the words of a drover, they were " as
each other as beans." The Glenquaish lot,
antounting to 400, sold at 211.; the Glenochay lot
of 600 brought 201. 10s. ; the Glenorchy lot of 600
went off at 201.; and the Benevis flock at 191. 10s.,
the-clad score. It would be easy, but it is needless,
to particularise more lots, as they sold at all
prices, according to quality, downwards to 12/.
The hill ewes sold equally as well as the wed-
ders. The Glenorchy lot was the best shown.-
They ran about 30 scores, and sold at 1.2/. 10s. A
number or lots brought from 11/. to 12/., and prices
varied according to condition from 71. to 121. Che-
viots were not near so numerous at this Tryst as
they are in general; they would be to the hill sheep
as 1 to G. They sold as rapidly as the black-faced
breed ; and the best wedders sold at 241. ; the best
ewes at 161.; only one lot of Cheviots remained
unsold on Monday evening. The sales went on
with such rapidity, that the field was nearly cleared
by four o'clock. In the evening the dealers d;ffered
widely as to'the exact amount of the rise that had
taken place since the last Tryst. The sellers readily
acknowledged that it would run on an average 2s.
6d., and the purchasers resolutely maintained that it
would be. fully 3s. a head. Judging, however, from
the opinions of drovers of great experience, who
were merely spectators, we should be inclined to
place most confidence ,in the statements of the
buyers,.and average the rise at 3s. a bead, a favour-
able result, which certainly none of the .graiiers ex-
pected at the termination of the last fair.
Yesterday morning when daylight appeared, the
usual noise and bustle began in the inns at Falkirk.
The -quick sale among the sheep rendered the Eng-
lishmen particularly impatient, and the usual orders,
" quick, saddle the pon?y, hear a hand with the
breakfast," Were given with the deepest gravity, and
more than the usual decision, Fortunately, the day
was highly favourable, a circumstance which had a
material effect in producing the comfort and vivacity
which pervaded the market. The whole stock of
catttle were congregated on the muir by 10 o'clock.
There was a palpable deficiency in the show of
heifers, three-yearling stots, and West Highland
cows. This was to be expected from the extra-
ordinary number disposed of at the two previous
markets. There was however a good display of all
the other sorts, and the supply on the whole amount-
ed to fully 50,000; about 10,000 short of the aggre-
gate shown in September. So many buyers have
seldom been seen at once at Falkirk. Besides an
unusual number of drovers, the farmers, having
their harvest finished, turned out in hundreds
for small lots to lay on their foggage. There
was little time for survey, and less for the useless
manoeuvring in which so much time is generally
wasted at dull and hanging markets.' Business be-
gan simultaneously with all sorts of cattle. Lot
after lot were purchased, tarred, and driven off the
ground with all the despatch that the thronged state
of the market and outlets would permit, and busi-
ness went on with such vivacity, that most of the
principal lots were sold by two o'clock. West High-
land heifers were in great request. The Gigha lot
of forty sold at 91., and the few other lots that ap-
peared were soon bought up at en advance of 12s.
a-head above the prices going in September. Three-
yearling stots sold according to quality at from
71. 10s. to 91. The two-yearling slots were in great
request, and paid considerably better in proportion
than any other sort of lean stock:- The Auch lot
was, as usual, the best; but they Were not sold at
two o'clock. The second best drove were shown
by Mr. Macdonald, of Gart. They had been se-
lected with great skill, and being pastured on
his own rich and romantic holms on the banks
of the Tuth, they were considered very little.
inferior to the Auch lot. They were sold
early in the day at 8/. 10s. The third best lot, of 60
was shown by. Mr. M`Donald, from Balquhidder,
and brought 8/. There was also another excellent
lot from Corral sold about the same time at the
same money, The other lots sold at all prices, ac-
cording to quality, from Si. to 71. 10s. Small cattle
were plenty, and as money went a long way amoug
them, they had their. full share of the general im-
provement of the market. A gentleman, from the
vicinity of Stirling, brought forward the best lot of
44 four-yearling Argyleshire slots that has been
seen at Falkirk for a number of years. They
would run about 28 stones trots, beef and tallow,
and were in admirable condition for immediate use.
lie offered them at 11/;'los., and rather than part
with them under that 'Slim, -he consented to allow
the purchaser to cast the odd four. They
were not sold at two o',cleck in the afternoon.-
There was an extraordinaly number of the heavy
Angus and Aberdeenshire Rattle. An 'Aberdeen-
.
shire drover, whose interest led' bins to be well-in-
formed respecting them, stated that there were not
less than 8,000 in the field. The best of ten prime
fat, weighing from 55 to 60 stones tron beef and
tallow, were offered at 221. 10s.- The greatest part
of them, however, sold at from 16/. to 191. Even
the youngest and coarsest lots, which were to ap-
pearance huge walking piles of bone, coffered with
a comfortable skin, found purchasers, and Were sent
off in hundreds to be metamorphosed into fat kine in
the fruitful wallies of England. Very few lots re-
mained unsold. It has been already mentioned that
there was an advance of 12s. on the heifers, and
on an average there was a rise of 10s. a head om all
the other cattle since the September tryst.
There was an extraordinary shOw of horses. Se-
veral dealers, old frequenters of the tryst, calculated
the number at from 900 to 1000. Young strong
draught horses arid roadsters of all sorts were in
brisk deniand,tand brought good prices.
There was the greatest, and indeed the •best,

show of the small shaggy Highland ponies, shod
and unshod, of all colours and sizes, that has been
seen for a number of years. The demand for them
was so brisk, that out of a lot of four score, the
owner had only between a dozen and a score over
till yesterday. Small beasts, rather hig►her than the
largest Newfoundland dogs, sold at 21. and 3/.; but
those that were able for much heavy -work, in short,
the best, rose from 101. 10s. to 12/.
A full detail of the conclusion and general result of
his important market will be given on Saturday ;
and, in the meantime, we shall only farther observe,
that taking the number of cattle sold at only 40,000,
the rise of 10s. a-head will, on the whole, yield
20,000/., and calculating.the sheep also at 40,000, at
an advance of 2s. a-head on them, %vitt produce a sum
of 4,0001., being in all a rise in the value of this
stock of 24,000/. since the last tryst. This is a con-
summation which cannot fail to give great pleasure
to the inhabitants in the pastoral counties, both in
the North and West Highlands.

FRENCH PAPERS•

(From the Gazette de France, dated Wednesday, Oct. 15.)
PARIS, Our. letter from Bayonne says,
hat a report is spread in that city that. the yellow
lever has appeared at Seville, and that the troops
:rom Cadiz had suspended their march, to form a
cordon round the city
A letter from Madrid of the 23d September says,
My last letter informed you that the yellow fever
had appealed at Gibraltar; it is now said that this
ireadful disorder has appeared in the South of Spain.
What is certain is, that the last mail has brought
letters from Cadiz, which say, that three sailors
had died of it on board the ships in the bay. Here
and throughout Spain there is a drought such as we
have never before experienced. Many springs and
fountains arc dried up. Who knows if the causes
~f this phenomena are not connected with that of
the disease which has manifested itself in the south.
The heat has not been extraordinary ; on the con-
trary, it has been less violent than in preceding
years."
(The Gazette has no new:; from the theatre of
war, nor anything upon the subject, except some ob-
servations copied from the Debals of Tuesday.)
