FRANKFORT, SEPT. 1.-It appears from various ac-
counts that the intelligence received at Vienna from Con-
stantinople, is of the Sth August. What has been said
about letters, dated 10th and 14th Aug., has not been
confirmed ; and as the letters of the 10th were anxiously
looked for at Vienna on the 24th, it appears that no news
of later date than the Sth had then been received there,
and farther intelligence was eagerly waited for, to see whe-
ther the Snitan and his counsellors had given any farther
proofs of willingness to accede to the wishes of the Powers
for the restoration of peace. . _

The Austrian official Paper gives the following report
from Odessa, Aug. 14:7. .

‘' The plague seems to increase in the infected villages :
the physicians are of opinion that it has abated in malig-
nity, but that it spreads more quickly. About 50 persons
have died. The number of suspected persons is equally
great."

We learn with considerable regret that some
outrages have been committed by a few individuals con-
nected with our manufactures, with a view to prevent the
work being sent out of the city, or done at under price.--

A PLEASANT FROLIC.—One of the caliphs
of Bagdad was of such a erne' disposition that sometimes
he amused himself by ordering a potful of scorpions to be
emptied in the middle of the room in which his guests
were assembled, who, as it was against etiquette for any
person to rise from the table, or even change his position,
were obliged to bear
without complaint,

although it is well known they are of a most deadly nature.
To conclude this pleasant frolic, however, after he had suf-
ficiently enjoyed the ill-suppressed. contortions and appre-
hensions of his courtiers, the caliph would produce a pre-
cious ointment, which had the singular property of curing
wounds made by the scorpion. After this it is a pleasure
to know that one day, while enjoying this amusement, this
monster was assassinated by the captain of his own guard.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

A modest and respectable-looking looking young
woman, named Noakes, under 16 years of age, was
charged with setting fire to the furniture of several
bed-rooms at the Portugal Family Hotel, Fleet-
street, at which she acted in the capacity of bar-maid.
Mr. Walter Oakes, the proprietor of the hotel,
deposed, that at half-past nine o'clock on Sunday
night the furniture of one of his rooms was disco-
vered to be on fire. The prisoner was the first to
give the alarm, and found to be quenching it, when
some of the inmates approached her. Between 11
and 12, she and his nephew, who sleep on the same
stair•case, went to bed, and soon after that three or
four rooms were discovered to be in a blaze ; it must
have been the work of some vile incendiary. In his
belief no one but his nephew and the prisoner had
access to the rooms in question.
Sir P. LAURIE inquired whether the young woman
had acted with prudence since she had been in the
service of witness ? He replied—" Perfectly so.
I bad the best of characters with her: Mr. Rockley,
the wine•merchant, was one who gave it, and I know
her friends to be very respectable. She has been
very attentive to business, and very obliging."
John Oakes, the nephew to the last witness,
pr •ed the fact of his going to bed at the time spe-
ciF 1; he slept in the next room to the prisoner ;
he had not been long in his bed-room before he heard
the cry of " Fire !" and the prisoner was looking
down from the balcony at the top of the house; she
was partly undressed, and on witness seeing her she
went into her own room before she went down stairs.

Sir PETER called upon the young woman to explain.
She admitted that she was in the balcony, and
that she was partly undressed; she said she had
pulled off her black silk gown, and in her hurry put
on the stuff one in which she then appeared. When
she got to the bottom of the house she gave an alarm,
and then fainted.

This was admitted by the prosecutor.
The father of the prisoner hcief stepped forward
and said, that for many years .he kept the wine-
vaults at the Marsh-gate, Lambeth, but was at pre-
sent out of business; his daughter had been behind
his bar from an infant, and was free from every vice
and universally respected. He had placed her in
her present situation because he had a high opinion
of Mr. Oakes, who had treated his child in a very
proper manner. He spoke with a father's feelings;
but were he to reason the case, was it likely that the
girl would set fire to every floor, and then go to the
top story to undress and await certain destruction ?
J. Sanders, a watchman, deposed that he was
near the house when the alarm of fire was given.
He heard the pot-boy at the Hole-in-the-Wall say
he knew who did it, but he did not like to tell; and
then he alluded to the cook, and an old woman.
Sir PETER—WIIO is this old woman ?

The father then produced a letter which had been
written to him by his daughter, which led to the
discharge of a woman lately in Mr. Oakes's employ,
in consequence of the interference of the prisoner.
Mr. Oakes said that the woman was so turned
away, and he believed that the cook owed the pri
soner a grudge.
The watchman said that when he went in he saw
the prisoner and another woman come down ; that
person was the cook, who was completely dressed,
and quite collected, although it had been stated that
she was in bed at the time the fire broke out. She
said " I've been woiking like a good'un ;" and
handed witness a fish•kettle full of water.

Sir PETER LAURIE, after hearing the evidence,
said that in his mind there was not at present any
thing to implicate the young woman, although the
charge against her was a serious one; but he was at
the same time bound to remand her. He would
order the pot-boy, the cook, and the old woman
alluded to, to be present at the re•examination; and
also a person of the name of Daniels was mentioned.
To-a further question from the Alderman, the
watchman and a gentleman connected with the
sprit-trade stated their opinion to be that some
other hand than the prisoner's committed the act.
During the whole examination the young woman
stood undaunted, and gave ready answers to every
question put; one important one was, that the old
woman was in company with the cook on Sunday,
and had a long conference, and that the latter went
out every morning before her master was up.--Ite-
manded until this day.
