The British een left Antwerp yesterday, at one
o'clock, for New York. Seventeen-passengers embarked

BERLIN, Auc. 31.—Accounts from St. Petersburgh
say that a slight indisposition of his Maje ty the Emperor

is to make evolutions before the harbour. Said
Pacha, who is to'comman€l it, is expected from Cairo to-
morrow. Sarni Bey has not yet returned from Con-
stnntinople, but is daily expected. Mehemet Ali seems
to be rather uneasy about the state' of Syria, as he fears
that the Porte may suffer foreign intervention to be

to him, because he may hope to recover his influence in
that country if things go on as they 'have done.
The Nile has now risen 'so much that Egypt may

GERMANY.
COLOGNE, SEPT. s.—Yesterday was the great day
here. Of the promised kings only one was present ;
the King of Wurtemberg did not arrive, and his
Hanoverian Majesty was detained by illness; thus
accident having removed all occasion for amusingcom-
parisons, favoured the serious aim of the assembly.
At an early hour the avenues to the cathedral were
crowded, and the open spaces in its vicinity scarcely
sufficed to hold the curious, who, however, were not
to be tempted to ascend scaffoldings at a dear price,
which had no strong guarantees for their solidity, and
which looked down with empty seats upon the crowd
congregated beneath.
The day chosen for the ceremony being Sunday,
it was quite in order that the King should first at-
tend the service at the Protestant church. It was,
of course, equally in order that high mass should be
performed on that day in the cathedral. At both
services the King and Queen were present. After
church the Royal party proceeded to the spot on the
south side of the aisle which had been prepared for the
laying of the first stone, when the• King, on proceed-
ing to perform the ceremony, addressed a speech of
some length to the assembled multitude, in which the
leading theme related to the wishei, political and re-
ligious, of the Germanic States. Illustrating by his-
torical allusions the advantages which other countries
had drawn at various periods from the disunion pre-
vailing in Germany, he glanced skilfully at a recent
attempt to do the same on the part of a neighbouring
Power ; but which attempt, he congratulated himself
and them, was decisively foiled by the display of una-
nimity which Germany under arms put forth. " This
day," continued the Royal orator, "is destined to
record a display of unity not less important. It will
record, for those who doubt the fact, that, although
various shades of doctrine and opinion may divide us,
yet that Christendom is not disunited—that it forms
one great and indomitable whole. In sign of this
conviction the representatives of all confessions and of
every German land were there, and each felt that he
derived strength from the consistency that he lent to
the general fabric."

The King was interrupted here by loud acclama-
tions, and when they had subsided added, " The sen •
timents I have uttered have met with the heartfelt
applause of a city like yours ; let us give the ancient
word once more—' Cologne for ever' (Alaff Conn)."
At this the shouts were redoubled.
The Archbishop's coadjutor advanced, gave his be-
nediction, and addressed the people, but his speech
was not as distinctly audible as that of the King.
After this the architect of the building, a man
generally esteemed, but who had been much fatigued
with the care of providing the accommodation for the
numerous guests, spoke in his turn. He alluded to the
discernment of the late King, which led him to patronise
this national work, which he, however, left unfinished
to his heir. The heir had accepted the obliga-
tion of carrying out his father's intentions, in token
of which, the labours at the cathedral were to be in-
creased. As he spoke, the old crane at the top of the
half-finished tower, so well knoivn to travellers, was
set slowly in motion, and a huge stone was raised to
the summit, in token of the promised continuation of
the edifice. The assembly then broke up, and the
company invited, soon after one o'clock, met in an im-
mense tent, a present from the Emperor of Russia, in
which upwards of 400 covers were laid. The banquet
passed off gaily, and in the evening the company ap-
peared at the theatre. The King and Queen have
left for the castle of Bruhl, near Bonne, where they will
stay until the two camps unite and perform their
manoeuvres. In the evening the town was illumi-
nated, and the Rhine front produced a rare and bril-
liant effect on the water.

DIMINUTION IN THE SUPPLY OF CALICOES, &C.—
The late turn-out among the hand and power-loom
weavers has caused a large decrease in the supply of
calicoes, domestics, and other plain productions of the
loom into the Manchester markets. Many experienced
persons being of opinion, that since the strike one and
a half million of pieces have, as it were, been with-
held ; and the same persons calculate!, that before the
turn-out is completely at/an end, that the quantity will
be two millions of pieces. Yet, in the face of all this,
the prices for n!,•;it or our plain f-traple articles are on the
decline. This fact argues no good to the operatives
when the looms now standing are again put in motion.—
