HAIVIBURGHPAPERS.

I
FRONTIERS OF POLAND, AUG. 20.—Respectable tra-
vellers affirm, that all the corps Composing the Grand
Array of Reserve, under Count Saci.en, have left their
cantonments, anti are on their march to Bessarabia and the
principalities. The head-quarters are to be transferred
to Kicheneff.

FRANKFORT, Ana. 31.—Private letters from Vienna,
of 23d, state, that the troops lately assembled-in the camp
of exercise, at Baden, near Vienna, are to return to their
garrison on the 23d of September.
FRANKFORT, SEPT. 2.—The Courier de Smyrna an.
nounces, that on the 20th July the Hellas anchored near
the entrance of the harbour, and obtained leave of the
Paella to purchase provisions.

The President of Greece is stated to have d;sinissed the
Legislative Assembly of his own authority, and to have
deferred till further orders the meeting of the National
Assembly, which was to have taken place the 13th June.
The Smyrna accounts say, that a inanuieript essay was
is circulation among the higher classes of the Turks at
Constantinople, which met with great approbation, 'and in
which it is attempted to prove that the cession of the Morea
is not contrary to the Koran, because that Peninsula was
by no means acquired by the Mussulinen by conquest, but,
was ceded to the Turks by the Venetians.
CHRISTIANIA, Au°. 23.—The incessant rains becomq
every day more heavy, and if we have not some change to
the better before the end of the dog•days, the consequences
will be very melancholy. In many places the hay is not yet
mown for fear of not being able to get it in ; the reaping of
the corn is impeded, and at all events the harvest will not be
so abundant as usual. This is the state of things in-our
province of Sonderfield ; -in Nordenfield, however, it is very
different, and letters from Rugen, of 15th inst. say, that
according to all accounts from the various parts of the,
Diocese, the inhabitants . do not remember a year in which
produce of all kinds was so abundant.
CGPENIIAGEN, AUG. 30.—The ship Fortune, from
Copenhagen to Greenland, with the new church, has
perished en the Greenland coast. The church is said to
have been sa% ed. Two Russian ships of the line, probably
new ones, built at Archangel, passed the Sound, coming
from the North Sea.

DA NTZJC, Atm. 21.—The rise in the price of corn has
not only been maintained, but in consequence of the last
accounts from England of the 15th inst. a further rise has
taken place. It has, besides, been raining incessantly far
these last three days, which induces the holders of wheat to
rise in their demands, as there is no doubt that the wheat,
as well as oats and barley, have suffered very much, and
that the new wheat cannot be used without the mixture of
a considerable proportion of old.

The various cotton manufactures of this dis-
trict are proceeding with undiminished activity. Letters
were received in town last week from Calcutta, detailing
the result of the sales of the shipments of yarn anal m
factored goods from the ports of Clyde in November and
December last. Some of the Not of yarns were sold lower
than at the present Glasgow prices; but, on the contrary,
other Nos. took the market beyond anticipation. The na-
tive merchants, however, do not seem well t 6 comprehend
the quality of the goods.—Glasgow Chronicle.
THE ARCTIC MERMAID.—That the stories
of mermaids have in most cases originatei in the observer
fancying a resemblance to homanity in seals and other
marine animals, there cannot he a doubt. This is strongly
confirmed by a very competent judge, Mr. SCOAFSHY, jun.
who informs us, that, when se n at a distance, the front
part of the bead of the young walrus, without tusks, is not
unlike the human face. As this animal is in the habit of
rearing its head above water, to look at ships, and other
passing objects, it is not at all improbable but that it may
have afforded foundation for some ofthe stories of mermaids.

DISEASE IN M@OR GAME.--the worm
which has been generally found in the birds is the long
Tape worm, or Tcenia Solium —the articulations are
narrow with marginal pores, one on each joint, by which
it is supposed to attach itself to the intestines. The head
is spear-shaped, and terminates in a mouth, surrounded
with two rows of holders or hooks--...the tail runs to a
point, lance-shaped. It has been often found from 30 to
40 feet long, and in one instance was supposed to be as
many yards; generally found in the upper intestines witlt
the bead towards the lower parts of the canal. It po:•sesses
considerable powers of locomotion, as when taken out and
laid o❑ the back of the bird in the sun, it slowly crawled
from the feathers to the heath, and lives many hours after
the bird is killed. It is seldom alone—generally in numbers,
nearly blocking up some parts of the intestines.; and has
often been found to have penetrated them, and 4, have
ended round their outer surfaces Greenock Adpertiser.

ANoTtIER COACH ACCIDENT, AND NAR-
P•W ESC A PE*-0a Saturday last, Aug. 30, the " Over
F. 408 " coach, on its way from Lancaster to Vlverstone,
was suddenly immersed .in quick sand. The passengers,
'owing to the Assizes were numerous, at some risk reached
good sand and placed themselves in safety. With great
difficulty the 'horses were extricated. Two of them were
in danger of perishing, being nearly covered by the sand.
41r! A bOWS, of Coyentlarden, was one of the passen-
gers. Considerable fears were entertained at one time for
his safety, in consequence of his venter ing to approach,
after having with the other passengers left it, io remove
his-luggage. He-found - himself suddenly sink up to his
knees in the saTld, and then gradually sink until little !Iwo
than his head and shoulders sycre Visible. At very great
personal risk, three gentlemen used eyery exertion to ex-
tricate him, and with considerable difficulty snceeeded.
The accident is 'to be attributed to the coachman's follow-
ing a track made by a drunken man.. The coach was left
in the sands, and has since floated and been recovered-7,
