LLOYDS' S-HIPPING

-- -----
LONDON AND DOVER RAILWAY. I
The intended opening of the line as far as Head- .
corn at an early day, and afterwards, before the end
of this year, iis continuation to Ashford, has al-
ready produced its effect upon the, value of the tolls
arising on the. turnpike road for the intermediate
distance betw eet the latter placte and Dover,
and even on the branch road from Folkestone to
Barham. oin Wednesday the 17th, the Trustees
of the Dover and Sandgate Road, .and of the
Folkestone and Barham Road, met at the Guild-
hall, in Pc ,lkestone, pursuant to advertisoinent,
to offer the ' tolls on those roads to public competi,"-ion,
which were then let at the following rates, viz. :- -
Folkestone Hill Gate, which was let last year for
3041., is rJ .Av let for 428/. ; Sandgato Gate, which last
year prod' aced 2961., is now let for 4201.; Uphill Gate
(Barham. Road), let last year for 1201., now for 1701. ;
Denton G Ate (Barham Road), let last year for 1221.,
this ye. ar :for 160/. There were very many bidders,
and tae competition was exceedingly brisk. The
incre.Ase on the two gates between Dover and Hythe,
viz., Folkestone Ilia and Sandgate Gates, was in each
case exactly the came (1241.) ; but we have a strong
impression that the lessee will, even at that increase,
nave a me (re profitable speculation than his prede.
cessor. 'e should not have been surprised if double
the last y( 3ar's rents had been given for these two
gates ; for there can be no doubt that on the opening
of the *Lib ray to Ashford, the great
,majority of the
traffic bet iveen the Continent, Dover, and London,
will pass v ia. Dwyer and Ashford, by the railway be-
' tween the lattA place and the metropolis.—Dover
Chronicle.

The LP.neasb ire mob sent word the other day to
Leeds that they• meant to sleep on Wednesday night in
the parish churc3 iof Leeds. It is said that the Vicar of
Leeds sent an an ;wer to the effect that if they did come
to the church he should be in the pulpit, and should
preach to them al a night.

THE MOORS.—The Twelfth opened on the hills
with one of those bright and balmy mornings, which
have so peculiarly characterised this autumn. The un-
clouded sun, and the high temperature, cooled the ardour
of many ; and, unlike most previous occasions, a few
hours' morning shooting satisfied most sportsmen, unless
upon some highly preserved and well stocked grounds.
The general success has, we are happy to say, been
better than appearances some weeks ago indicated ; in
proof of which we may mention that yesterday morning
95 boxes passed through Perth for the south, 35 of
which were for the London steamer. Among the crack
guns, the highest return for the first day we have heard
was that of the Hon. Fox Mettle, who bagged 84 brace
aeoginloch, at the head of Strathbraan. Sir P. M.
-Thripeland, at Balnaguard, killed 61* brace of grouse,
and 5 mountain hares ; Mr. Butter, of Faskally, 56
brace, and Sir John Mackenzie, 50, in the moors of
Glentruim. The results from the Inverness shire sid
are not so good ; individual parties at Dalwhinnie onl
begged each from 15 to 30 brace, which has been about
he daily average since.—Perthshire Courier.
Efforts are as indispensable as desires. The globe
is not to be circumnavigated by one wind. We should
never do nothing. "It is better to wear out. than to
rust out," says Bishop Cumberland. " There will be
time enough for repose in the grave," said Nicole to
Pascal. In truth, the proper rest for man is change of
occupation.
EMIGRATION FROM THE CLYDE.—The number of
emigrants who have sailed from the ports of Glasgow,
Greenock, and Port-Glasgow, during the first six months
of the present year, amounts to 7,707. A vast number
of the above belonged to the very poorest class of ope-
ratives, who have been assisted to emigrate either by
the public bounty, or by the charitable aid afforded by
those societies into which they had associated themselves.
—Glasgow Chronicle.
In virtue of a convention signed on the 9th May
last, and which came into force on the 6th inst., between
France and the Two Sicilies, letters with patterns, jour-
nals, and printed books, may be sent post-paid between
the two kingdoms in the same manner as they have
hitherto been within the interior of France.
Sir James Graham was in attendance at the Home-
office, Whitehall, till eleven o'clock on Friday night,
together with the Hon. Manners Sutton, and the
other authorities. Accounts of the state of the metro-
polis were forwarded throughout the evening, from
the different police districts.
.The military autho-
rities were also in communication with Sir James.
This day the Attorney and Solicitor-General were in
attendance at the Home-office.
DEATH OF WILLIAM MAGINN, ESQ., LL.D.—
With deep regret we have to record the death of Dr. Ma-
ginn, on Saturday, at his residence,Walton-upon -Thames.
I.)r. Maginn was in his 49th year, and for the last year
and upwards suffered from confirmed consumption. He
has left a widow and three children, we fear without
any provision but the claim of the lamented deceased
upon the gratitude of the country, and more espe-
cially of the wealthy and high-minded Conservative
party. That claim is, however, a strong one ; for more
than twenty years Dr. Maginn laboured for the Conser-
vative cause without relaxation, and to the support of
that cause he brought more learning, more genius, and
more zeal, than any other man connected with the public
Press during the same period.
MANCHESTER, AUGUST 20.—THE DISTURB-
ANCES.—The fooli!li and fruitless interruption of
the industry of this neighbourhood, which has
caused so much alarm throughout the country,
is evidently drawing towards a close ; and, if we
are not greatly deceived by existing appearances, the
next three or four days will witness a general resutnp-
tion of labour in this town, which must necessarily be
followed, in a very short time, by a similar resump-
tion throughout the surrounding district.—Manchester
Guardian.
The opinion of the Faculty, the approval of the
fair sex, and the general patronage of the public, have
established the preparations offered by Messrs. Rowland
and Son as the most valuable and indispensable requi-
sites for the toilet yet submitted to the world. At this
peculiar season, when the " skyey influences" are pecu-
liarly powerful, and often noxious to the complexions of
ladies, we would particularly recommend Rowland's
invaluable Kalydor, as the most balmy, mild, and effica-
cious safeguard for this purpose yet offered to the public.
The fortunate discovery of this now celebrated prepa-
ration, and the ample proof of its virtues afforded by
long experience, evince that it is admirably adaped to
beautify and preserve the skin fresh and unimpaired,
amid the most trying vicissitudes of the season and the
weather.
FIRE ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—On
Wednesday afternoon .the luggage in a van, which was
placed next to the tender of the engine affixed to the five
o'clock train, from Paddington, caught fire, in conse-
quence of a lighted cinder flying from the furnace when
about two miles on the London side of West Drayton.
Several of the packages were immediately ignited. The
necessary assistance being near, the packages . were
promptly removed, and a good supply of water prevented
further destruction. .
FEMALE ROWERS.—The female rowers of Saltash,
who have acquired such laurels at Portsmouth, Ply-
mouth, and Devonport, left Southampton in the Grand
Turk to proceed to Havre regatta, last week, in order
to contest for a prize for amateur rowers, open to all the
world. They were most politely received by the Com-
mittee, the Mayor of Havre himself shaking hands with
their, and drinking their healths in champagne. But
the Frenchmen declined the proposed encounter on even
terms ; and at length it was arranged that a match
should take place between the Glanvillites and the Eng-
lish boatmen, and a subscription was entered into by
the Committee for a prize to be contended for by the
Amazonian champions with the Englishmen, and in a
few minutes four hundred francs were forthcoming for
the purpose. English rowers volunteered from the
Grand Turk, the boats were manned, and womanned re-
spectively. The race, which was well contested on both
sides, was soon begun and concluded, and, amid the
cheers of 20,000 spectators, the Saltash women carries
the day, and earned a new trophy on the bosom of the
Seine. The successful Saltashers left the harbour amid
renewed cheers at their success, and returned in the
Brunswick to Plymouth, lauding the generous conduct
of the French, and also speaking in grateful terms in
uraise of the kindness ma.nifested towards them by
14,•iscombe Esq. (Lloyd's agent at Havre), and Captain
of Stonehouse.—Hampshire Independent.
Or 'RATIONS OF PEEL'S NEW CORN SCALE.—The
duty
on foreign wheat has advanced to-day, as antici-
os. per quarter, and duty at Bs. has been paid
PtOteadn' ex to
tent Oat will yield almost 700,0001. to the
public revenue. This immense accumulation in the first
place of corn in bond, enhancing the price to the pre-
judice of the consumer ; and then the effect, in the
second place, of entering for home consumption so much
as 1,000,000 quarters simultaneously on the very nick
of harvest, to the great loss of the English farmer, forms
a beautiful illustration of the " steady trade in corn,"
which the Premier boasted of as a sure consequence of
his .modified sliding scale. It is not a whit better than
the jumping scale. The industrious classes are praised
by their rulers for their " patience" so long as they lie
down and starve quietly by the roadside, mumbling out
with their last breath, " Confidence in my Government;"
but so soon as hunger and want drive them to deeds of
violence they are shot.—Morning Chronicle. • •
The landlord of a line of cottages situated in the
neighbourhood of Walworth, inhabited by journeymen
mechanics, as weekly tenants, has raised their rents 4d.
per week, as the landlord says, tc. enak.le him to pay the
Income-tax without loss, as the amount of all taxes was
to be included iu their weekly rent.

TURKEY AND PERSIA.
The following is a translation of an important de-
spatch, addressed by Abdullah Bey, Governor of
Sulimania, in answer to the Ottoman Consul at

Tabriz :
"I received with pleasure your letter, demanding
information respecting the circumstances which have
occurred between the Governor-General of Kur-
distan and me, as well as those which may have pro-
voked the war. You desire to know where a conflict
has taken place, the position of the two armies, and
which took the iniative in combating. The' following
is a faithful report :
" Riza Kouli Khan, Governor-General of the pro-
vince of Sindizt, advanced at the head of a consider-
able army, on the frontiers of Chehri Zor, with the
intention of installing
Mahmoud Pacha in the go-
vernment of Sulimania. He has raised the inhabi-
tants of the country against the authorities, taken the
towns of Gulgabre and Albidge, the residences of the
authorities of Chehri Zor. He also took Kizeldjia,
Merre, and Alanzial, the most important villages of
this province, appointing his followers to be Governors
therein.
" At the aspect of such an invasion of the Otto-
ilatghe lh
of Kurdistan,
territory by foreign hosts,
obliged to quit the town of Sulimania, and I went to
Chehri Zor to defend the I was reluctantly'
country. On my arrival
there I sent to Riza Kouli Khan, the Hadgi Ahmed
Aga, and the Hadgi Hussein Aga, the same that were
sent here by the Pacha of Bagdad, to notify to him
that such acts of aggression were a flagrant violation
of treaties ; I requested to know if he was authorised
by his Government. I was fully resolved to take
measures, in consequence of his answers. But Riza
Kouli Khan paid no attention to my message. He
marched on, thinking to impose upon me by the num-
ber of his troops.
" He attacked and took one of the points of the
Purdjimin, and set up his
ed,dalys,hoping always that
proceeded to Kizeldjia,
ttlipellnwe'tnsr.ethlNa taortrhiisivnedge aflrinliegdhtther
en
e the Persians would discontinue their advances. But
on
lß'eriyzaeKveonuilnigKhoafn sent the nephew of Mah-
moud the day of my arrival in the
v
e,schid Bey, Amanoullah Khan, one of the
notables
, to instal Mahmoud Pacha in
the Government of Sulimania. He also sent Koubad
Bey with from 700 t 0.1,000 men, to lie in ambuscade
in the neighbouring mountains, to attack our army
from behind, and cut off the road.
"This day Riza Kouli Khan appeared in presence
of our army, at the head of 5,000 cavalry and a bat-
talion of regular infantry, with the intention to fight.
The combat began ; the enemy attacked first, and I
thought fit to repulse him, which I did, and in a
quarter of an hour put the Persian army to the rout.
The combat took place on our territory ; I pursued
him a certain distance, but did not enter his territory,
to avoid the reproaches of the Impel ial Ministry.
" Before the commencement of the battle I had
ordered my soldiers not to pass the enemy's frontier.
I passed that night on the field of battle, resolved the
next day at sunrise to go and rescue Sulimania from
the hands of Amanoullah Khan and Mahmoud. But
these chiefs, informed of my coming, pillaged Suli-
mania and the villages around. They carried off the
flocks of sheep and goats belonging to the chiefs of
tribes, as well as many asses and horses. They brought
them off by the road of Bana to Sikez and Suerdeit.
" I did not think fit to pursue them, as it . would
bring me beyond their frontier, lest I should meet
with disapprobation. The enemy pillaged all the
country through which he passed, and slew several
men and women who resisted. He carried away 300
families to Bana. I found the tents of Sulimania pil-
laged and in ruins. The misfortunes inflicted by Riza,
,d. 1 Khouli Khan are beyond all expression.
