ALTO A, JULY 26.

The peace of our town has lately been disturbed in avery
disagreeable manner, but is happily restored by the judi-
cious measures adopted.
The death of a boy, about 14 years of age, who, for some
misdemeanour, had received a slight corporal chastisement
from the Police, excited en opinion in the public that this
chastisement had caused his death.

On the 24th of this month, at ten o'clock at night, a
crowd assembled before the house of the Director of the
Police, with the intention of attacking it. His Excellency
Count Von Blucher Altona, the Chief President of our
town, immediately proceeded to the scene of the riot, for
tbe purpose of quelling it, in which be would have succeed-
ed, had he not been unfortunately wounded by smite stones
that were thrown, and obliged to withdraw. Hereupon
the house of the Director .of Police was pillaged. The town
guard, which had been called together, came and restored
order. No excesses have since taken place, and the town
guard has preserved the public tranquillity in the most ex-
emplary manner; as well at the funeral of the boy, which
was conducted in perfect order (after the examination of the
body by the surgeons, by order of the Magistrates, had
proved that .the opinion of the public had been without
foundation), and since that .time the accident that oc-
curred to the Chief President is universally regretted ; but
no fears are entertained for his Excellency's health.

His Majesty the King is gone to :.Toplits, accompanied
by Prince Von Wittgenstein, General. Witzleben, and the
Privy Couniellor Albrecht. Several alterations will be
made in the Palace during his Majesty's absence. •
Lord Clanwilliam, the English Ambassador, is recalled,
and will' go in the same capacity to Copenhagen, from
which,Court Lord Fitzgerald will come to Berlin.

STOCYIIOI.II, JULY 19.
Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess will attend
public worship to-morrow, for the first time.
The town of Boras, which was desolated by a destructive
fire five years ago, experienced a visitation on the 14th
instant. A fire broke out in the house of an oil manufac-
turer, and being impelled by a very high wind, spread in
all directions, so that, with the exception of some`public
edifices, and about 40 private houses, the whole town was
reduced to ashes. Three men lost their lives. His Ma-
jesty has given orders to take the promptest measures to
relieve the sufferers, and to distribute money and corn
among them.
HAIIIBUROH, JULY 25.

On the 10th of this month no less than 100 houses were
burnt down in the Prussian town of Artern in Thuringen.
Ou the 11th immense damage was caused by the water-
spouts in the Glair, mountains. The village of Lauterbich
•
and several others suffered very severely. Forty houses,
with every thiiig they contained, were washed away, and
120 rendered uninhabitable. Between 50 and 60 persons
perished. The devastations caused by such a calamity are
far more dreadful than the effects of fire ; the latter at least
leaves the ground on which the houses stood ; but here the
impetuous torrents, rushing from the mountains, have
brought down.a quantity of trees, vast masses of stone and
rock, mud, and earth, leaving the sides of the mountains
bare, and covering the gardens and meadows below with a
chaos of fragments of rock, &e. The inhabitants have in-
deed no home, for centuries will elapse before these now
bare rocks will again be covered with earth and inhabited.
The large and handsome village of Lattterbach,)in which
there was nut a poor person, was destroyed in half an hour.
A letter from Schyd, of the 25th ult., gives a terrible
account of the ravages caused by the overflowing of the
Danube, the Save, and the Drave, which have been rising
ever since May, and obliged the inhabitants of many vil-
lages to abandon them. Vast tracts of country in
Bukowar, Neusata, and Esseg, - are under water, and the
damage amounts to several millions.

It is highly gratifying to find that the exer-
tions of Great Britain to preserve, or to restore,
Peace between all the Powers of the world,
which have been so pre-eminently successful,
have had another triumph in accomplishing the
signature of a preliminary Treaty of Peace be-
tween the Empire of Brazil and the new State
of Buenos Ayres.
.This important' object, was,
we understand, entirely brought about through
the means of our Ambassador, Lord PONSONBY,
and consequently under the mediation and gua-
rantee of Great Britain. The conditions which
are to bind both Powers are not yet known, but
the consequences of the Peace between them
will probably be much more extensive and bene-

_1

ficial than may appear likely on the first consi-
deration of the subject. It is known that the
Emperor DON PEDRO had contemplated a
voyage to Portugal, but that the war then carry-
ing on with Buenos Ayres obliged him to post-
pone that intention. It is more than probable
therefore, that as soon as the Peace is finally
arranged the EMPEROR will fulfil his former in-
tention, and visit his ancient- Kingdom. The
effect of his arrival in Portugal at this time would
be most influential, not only on the immediate
affairs of that Kingdom, but likewise on the

state of Spain and its relations with Portugal.
The presence of a popular Monarch would rouse
the Portuguese Nation from their lethargy ; and

the Constitutional Charter, which, without such
an intervention on the EMPEROR'S part, must
fall to the ground, would probably lie easily and
firmly established, while the hopes of Don ATI-

GUEL and his party would be for ever annihilated.
We confidently look forward to the hrrival of the
ENIPERGR in Portugal at a very early period,
and we as confidently predict the happy conse-
quences vv. liich would immediately result from it.

We this morning received Medras Gazettes
to the 11th March, but they furnish no addi-
tional information from India, unless the far-
ing b 2 deemed such :

It appears that Rangoon is not in possession of the
Tuliens, as was reported : the country is, however, far
from being in a tranquil state. No decisive action bad been
fought but several skirmishes had taken place between the
Taliens and Burmans. The latter had the benefit of small
'reinforcements which had arrived fro:n Ave, before the
sailing of the Bombay Merchant."

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twzzrs o'Ctocr.

This morning Console opened at 89i i for money, and
894 t for the account, looking well ; they immediately after
rose to 89k, when a reaction took place, arid they fell to
89i I, and are now 89i, the price, for account, and 89
for money ; the decline came from the money market,
which has been plentifully supplied, and a considerable
sale having been effected caused for a moment the decline ;
the Commissioners were supplied at 891. Exchequer Bills
frilly maintain their price, as well as .India Bonds, the
former being 62 3, and the latter 92 4 pm. The Foreign
Funds, particularly Mexican, have had a trifling rise, but
this market generally does not keep pace with the British.
Mexican Bonds are 70A- ; Colombian continue at yester-
day's price, 311 2i ; Danish are 64 ; and Russian have
been as high as 951,1 ; Brazilian are 66 7 ; but the Bonds
of Buenos Ayres do not rise in the same proportion, being
62 3. Nothing doing in Shares, nor any material altera-
tion in the price quoted.

MESNE PROCESS BlLL.—Tltis day, August
I, the Attorney General's Bill, which limits .tlie power of
arrest, comes- into ' force. By this Act, none of his
Majesty's liege subjects, who do not owe to any one person
the sum of twenty poilnds, can be arrested on the instant
and sent to durance vile, The process now must be where
the amount of debt is short of that sum, by a " copy of
writ," which leaves the unfortunate debtor plenty of time
to make himself perfectly comfortable before he can be
taken in execution. The Sheriff's Officers on the Surrey
side the water, look extremely blue on the occasion. A
wag this morning stated, they ought to have a dinner of
condolence.

ALGERINE CAPTURES.—A correspondent
inquires how far the British Government would sanction
the purchase of vessels, and fitting them out in English
ports, by subjects of the Dey of Algiers ; and after being
supplied with Algerine Commissions, intending to cruise
against French commerce. The inquiry is not from mere
curiosity.
The noble equestrian figure of king Charles,
at Charing-cross, was executed by Le Soeur. It was castin
1633, in a spot of, ground near the church of.Covent-
garden ; and not being erected before the commencement
of the civil war, it was sold by the Parliament to John
Rivet, a brazier, in Holborn, with strict orders to break it
in pieces; but he produced some fragments of old brass,
and concealed the statue and horse under ground until the
Iteetotation. It was placed in its present situation in the
year l 675, at the expence of the Crown.

•
, AFFRAY AT CIIRSTER.—On Saturday
evening last, a serious affray took place at Chester, between
souse soldiers of the 7th Fusileers, now in garrison there,
and e party of men employed by Mr. Trubshaw, contractor
for the new Dee bridge ; when one of the latter, named
Joseph Davies, was so severely hurt by kicks and blows,
that he died soon afterwaade.-21fancliester Mercury.
