FRANKFORT.

SEPT. 19.—The news from the East is looked upon
here as favourable to the interests of civilization and
of the stability of peace. The fall of Izzett Pacha,
which the Austrian Observer connects with the con-
cessions to Persia and the facilitation of the trading
connexion between the Porte and that empire, seems
to announce a disposition to return to the new system
of financial management from which the late Vizier
had departed, and by so doing impeded the rwgenera-
tion of the tottering State. Had this revolution in
the capital taken place sooner, it might have prevented
that in Servia, which is much to be regretted. The
news of the flight of Prince Michael from Belgrade to
the Austrian side of the Save reached this city but a
few hours before the arrival of one of the principal
actors in the drama—no less a personage than Prince
Milosch himself. The peace which Servia has for
some years now enjoyed was obnoxious to the Turkish
party, par excellence at Constantinople, whose organ
Izzett Pacha was. In Russia the notion of a princi-
pality enjoying independence without protection was
also an unpleasant one. Lord Palmerston thought,
of course, the same, and called away Colonel Hodges,
in order that the Servians might feel how much they
were abandoned to their fate, when a Vizier like Izzett
should take it into his head to undermine or threaten
their privileges.
Letters, bearing date the Bth inst., from the north
of Turkey, mention the arrest of two Russian emis-
saries by the Turkish authorities in Bulgaria and
Macedonia, who are accused of inveigling the Rayas
to rebellion against the Turks. It is well known that
a spirit of insubordination has for some time pre-
vailed among the clergy of the Greek Church in
Bulgaria, who have refused obedience to the Patriarch
of Constantinople. The arrested party (one has
escaped) can perhaps throw light on these proceedings.
Will these facts at length open people's eyes on
both sides of the water, or is this timely detection to
pass over with a suicide or a purchased bowstring and
a disavowal ? Or will the civilized States of Europe
acknowledge it to be to their interest to advise the
Turks to allow fair freedom, civil and religious, to
the principalities and provinces on the Danube, and
on these terms to guarantee to the Porte the undis-
puted sovereignty of lands which she can hold by no
other means ?

The same accounts mention that the Servians, who
probably immediately felt the absurdity of the posi-
tion into which they had been hurried, were nego-
tiating with Prince Michael for his return.

The King of Prussia is holding Court at his restored
Castle of Stolzenfels, near Coblentz. Prince Metter-
nich is doing the same at Johannisberg, anti has a
large diplomatic circle round him, including the Eng •
lish and Russian Ambassadors. It is thought that,
besides commercial questions, others of a delicate
nature are discussed there, amongst them the mar-
riage of the Queen of Spain.

ALNWICIC, SEPT. 27.—His Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge arrived at Alnwick Castle this
morning, at twelve o'clock, on a visit to his Grace
the Duke of Northumberland. Lord Ravensworth
and Lady also arrived in the course of the afternoon.
Sir Watkins Wynn, Mr. Murray Ainsley, Captain
Murray, and Lord Redesdale are also amongst the
distinguished visitors at present at the Castle. An
address to his Royal Highness from the inhabitants of
this town was yesterday afternoon presented to him,
and to which he replied in suitable terms. His Royal
Highness intends going to see Warkworth and Barn-
burgh Castles.
It is rumoured that the Queen and Prince Albert
will go to Brighton by the railroad ; but that the
Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal are to pro-
ceed by the usual route, for the convenience of the
Royal infants. Her Majesty, however, has been ad-
vised to go direct from Buckingham Palace or Pad-
dington to the Croydon station, which can be accom-
plished, by passing over Vauxhall-bridge, in the same
or less time than to the City terminus. Her Majesty
will thereby avoid the noise and confusion, already
too great, at the latter place, until the new and more
commodious station is complete.
A FEAT.—On the morning of the day on which
her Majesty arrived in Edinburgh from the North,
two Lothian farmers having occasion to attend the
Falkirk Tryst, started from the neighbourhood of
Musselburgh in a gig, drawn by an old Irish pony
little more than fourteen hands high. After trans-
acting their business in the Tryst, a horse which
they had purchased was put into the gig, by way of
relieving the pony, which was then led alongside of
the gig by one of the party. On arriving at Fal-
kirk, on their way home, they found that the
Queen had passed some time before, and was sup-
posed to be about four miles ahead. One of them,never having seen her Majesty, was greatly disap-
pointed, and after an instant's consideration, left the g*g-
'
threw the end of the halter over the pony's neck
to,
serve as a bridle, and in another moment was seated
on its bare back. Although her Majesty was tra-
velling sometimes at the rate of 16 miles an hour., he
galloped on, and having overtaken them in the neigh-
bourhood of Linlithgow, rode with the royal cortege
into Edinburgh—the whole journey from Falkirk
being performed without a saddle or bridle, within
two hours by a pony which had previously been driven
36 miles ! The pony came in fresh, immediately took
his feed, and next day seemed nothing the worse of
his ride.—Scotsman.

A HEATHEN HOSPITAL.—The Rev. Mr. Allen,
an American missionary, in giving details concerning
the various public institutions in Bombay, thus
notices what every one must regard as a most singu-
lar establishment :—" It has been said that heathen-
ism never furnished an hospital. There is at least one
exception to the truth of this remark. There
is one here, supported at an expense of
16,000 dollars annually. It was founded by
a donation of 140,000 dollars by a native
merchant of the Jain sect—the sect which ap-
pear to approach nearer than any other to the Primi-
tive Hindooism with which Pythagoras became ac-
quainted at Babylon. Its doctrines strictly forbid the
destruction of animal life in any case whatever. The
management of this hogoital is wholly ih heathen
hands, and heathen liberAity furnishes all its resources.
In it are gratuitously supported from 50 to 100
old horseT, which would otherwise be killed as past
service ; about 175 cows and oxen ; 200 dogs for
whose destruction the authorities of Bombay ofer a
1 bounty
'll
twice a year ; and a large number of cats, ,
monkeys, and other ani als Its charities are acces• .
Bible to 1- living beings of every species except ',le
human race.
Men, women, and children, wour ded,
sick, and destitute,
are allowed to die unaided v eithin
sight of its walla.
Such is the character of V.ie only
hospital, so far
built." as is known, that heati-,en.;,sm ever
