COLDURN'S UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE FOR OC-
TOBER.—Amon; the many sterling articles in the
new Number of the";" United Service Magazine" will
be found Essays. on "The Naval Improvements of
the Nineteenth Century," on " Naval Retirement,"
on " The Russian Cavalry Colonies, and. Austrian
Military Frontier," and on " Curiosities of Naval Li-
terature, Historical and Biographical ;" on " The
Errors and Faults of our Military System," and on
" VolUnteering in India," all of which are the pro-
ductions of distinguished writers connected with both
services, and convey a vast fund of highly useful in-
formation. Their didactic character is well relieved
by the picturesque account of "'A Foray beyond the
Jordan," by Lieut.-Col. E. Napier, and an amusing
article entitled "My Old Messmates," by Jonathan
Oldjunk, Esq., R.N. Of the other interesting papers,
there must not be forgotten Lieut.-Col. Wilkie's ad-
mirable "Military History of Jamaica, with a Glance
at St. Domingo," and a clever Memoir of that distin-
guished officer' the late Sir Robert Ker Porter,
K.T.H. Such excellent compositions as these, toge-
ther with its able "Foreign Miscellany," and very
useful " General Correspondence," render the " United
Service Magazine" invaluable to officers of the army
. and navy, and an unfailing source of entertainment for
readers of every claF's.
THE CZARINA. BY Miss. HOFLAND.—In this his-
torical romance Mrs. Holland has presented a striking
instance of events of real life, competing in interest,
with the most imaginative conceptions of fiction. The
leading incidents of her narrative are derived from
the authentic memorials of the strange, eventful
mutations of fortune in the career of the celebrated
Prince Menzikoff, who, born of obscure parentage,
became the favourite. Minister of Peter the Great,
and subsequently of the Empress Catherine, whose
daughter was betrothed to the young Emperor, Peter
the Second, and who, with all his family, including
the Czarina, was abruptly hurled from this summit of
earthly grandeur to perish in the lowest depths of
Siberian servitude. Mrs. Hofland has faithfully ad-
hered to the general outline of this historical tragedy,
and for the purposes of her tale has filled up its de-
tails as suggested by her fancy with much judgment,
consistency, and vraisemblance. The daughter of
Menzikoff, the Czarina, is, however, her more pro-
minent figure, and is drawn with equal delicacy and
feeling. Mrs. Holland has availed herself skilfully of
the historic material for her work, and in that port'on
of it which is purely her own has fairly emulated the
touching pathos of Madame Cottin's " Elizabeth."—
Morning Herald.
EFFECTS OF RAILWAYS.—(From an Old Roadster.)
—Maidenhead once (indeed within the past four or
five years) a most flourishing little town, and the
great thoroughfare from the metropolis to nearly all
the western districts of England, is now in a most
miserable plight with reference to the great decrease
in its trade since .the opening of the Great Western
Railway. "Who that has travelled formerly (for these
are now " things that are gone") by the mail, leaving
the White Horse Cellar, Piccadilly, at half-past eight
o'clock in the evening, not recollect the " nice
hot supper" that awaited him at the Bear-Inn, Maiden-
head, where " a good twenty minutes" were allowed
I i:n to stow away some three or four shillings worth
of boiled fowls and ham (as the case might be) to
support his inward man during the night? Alas!. the
glories of the Bear are fast fading away and for ever.

W:ALTHAM AGRICULTURAL
. SOCIETY.
WALTHAM, TUESDAY.—The annual meeting of
this Society, which • includes within its district all
villages and towns Within, 10 miles of Waltham—
viz., 58 in the county of Leicester, 20 in Rutland, 13
in Nottingham, and • 11 in Lincolnshire, was held
yesterday, and was attended by a most numerous and
influential company. •
The show of stock on this occasion was remarkably
good, and excited much attention and interest from
the numerous classes of agriculturists who were as-
sembled at this gathering.
At three o'clock about 300 of the nobility, clergy,
gentry, and yeomanry, resident in this district, sat
down to dinner in the Agricultural-hall, a neat and
commodious building which has been erected for the
purposes of this Society.
His Grace the Duke of Rutland presided, supported
on his right by his Excellency Mr. Edward Everett,
Minister from the United States ; Mr. H. -Handley,
formerly M.P. for Lincoln Shire; Mr. G. Norman ;
the Rev. C. R: Thornton, Rector of Bottesford; the
Rev. G. E. Gillett, Rector of Waltham, &c.: and on
his left by the Hon. 11. Wilson, Mr. W. P. N. Nor-
fon; the Hon. W. Edwards, Mr. ;1. PhillipS, &C.

The Noble DUKE, who has served the office of Lo 1-
Lieutenant for% period,of 43 years, acknowledged the
compliment ina feelipkand patriotic speech. -
In proposing the toast of the " British_ Army and
Navy," the Quainm4x.stated, that he had lately
ceived from the 'be'st authority an *opinion Which the
Chinese had formed of English soldiers. A letter from
one Chinese Mandarin to"another had been intercepted,
in which the writer said, "We must leave off' calling
these people barbarians ; ;their conduct. to their sick
and wounded, anctAvc3 to,such ofour sick and woll-
ed as May fall into their hands, is so, kind. and hum ,le

quantity of consumable food from the land ; but when
he saw the great improvements
which had been effect-
ed, he felt that they might exclaim in the words of a
homely saying, " Who's afraid ?" He meant, of
course, under the favour of that
.
great Being, whose
goodness had vouchsafed to them the best harvest, he
firmly believed, they had enjoyed for several years. The
plenteous harvest of the present
year was a subject
of great congratulation,• and he would ask any man,
had the harvest of 1841 been repeated, what would
have been the situation of the country? That har-
vest was deficient as to its produce between 3,000,000
and 4,000,000 quarters of wheat ; he did not mean to
say there was actually that quantity less produced
than the consumption required, because a larger
breadth of land had been sown than was before in cul-
tivation ; hut as large a quantity 1,500,000 qrs.
had to be supplied from the continental and other
nations. Had, then, the harvest this year resembled
the last,- the country would have been subject to denier
distress, and would have been plunged into the most
difficult circumstances.—(Hear.) Since last year's
meeting; there had been a change in the laws relating.
•as
to the importation of agricultural produce. That
meeting was not an arena for political discussion, and
indeed, if it were attempted to be converted into one,
he would immediately make his bow and retire from his
present position. Nothing he (the Noble Duke) was
likely to say on this subject could provoke such a dis-
cussion, as he felt totally incompetent to form any
judgment as to the probable effects of the recent
changes ; and he was strongly of opinion that the pro-
posers of these alterations were themselves unable to
speak with certainty of the results.—(Hear.) Those
who had raised an alarm as to the probable conse-
quences were, he was sure, equally unable to come to
a correct conclusion ; he therefore advised all to
join with him in suspending their judgment until the
new plan should have had a fair and complete trial.—
(Cheers.) He (the Noble Duke) knew the heads who
had contrived those alterations were wiser than his
own, and that there were hearts joined to those heads
which, if they felt any cause of alarm, would impel
them to the most vigorous exertions in order that
things might be set straight again.—(Loud cheers.)
The Noble Duke then said, that as they were upon
the subject of importations, he had received some
authentic returns of imports which be would read to
the meeting :--

was a grower of corn, and took great interest in every-
thing connected with its sale, and he found that in
the lasi two months there had been a decline of about
12s. per quarter. But how much of this reduction
was attributable to the excellent and abundant harvest
to which he had alluded, he could not say. Any re-
duction arising from a redundance of corn grown in
this country was perfectly fair and much to bo de-
sired. What did it matter to the farmer whether he
sold 50 quarters at 705., or 70. quarters at 505.? And
the latter case was most to be desired, The Noble
Duke then gave, " Prosperity, to the Waltham Agri,
cultural Association," and sat down unkist loud
cheering.
The Cummins next rose fir the purpose of Intro-
ducing to the meeting a gentleman who was his guest
at Belvoir Castle; an who, as the representative in
this country of the American nation, he was sure
would receive a hearty welcome from British irentriPn!

by the enlightened and patriotic of both nations. The

Mr. EVERETT rose in return, and opened his ad-
dress by adverting to the' late adjustment by treaty
of the differences between America and England, and
observed -in continuation that their honourable and
just settlement was alike creditable to the distin-
guished negotiators of peace, advantageous to both
countries, and auspicious of a more intimate con-
nexion. Henceforth he trusted
...there would be no
emulation, :and no rivalry, but in those beneficent
arts of peace which reflected the greatest glory on
State, and the greatest credit on human nature.—
(Cheers.) For what was that which constituted the
chief pride and glory of the British nation ? They
had heard of the intercepted letter from one Chinese
chieftain to another; and what was the characteristic
which had excited the admiration of the Mandarin of
a grog and important empire, reeling at the time
under the blows of the British Government ? Was
it the military prowess of their countrymen ?
Was it the steam-vessels of war reaching coasts in
defiance of. the desolating simoom ? Was it their
arms—their artillery—their skill in engineering which
civilised nations now brought to the strategy of war ?
Was it this, or any of these, which had struck with
wonder, and awe, and admiration the barbarians of
China? No ! It was the humanity of British phy-
sicians and surgeons—their management of hospitals,
and the generous kindness which was extended to the
sick-. 71.7 wrirmdefioNfen- Oar;
Moved' them with astonishment, and excited their
sympathy ;arid regaH.—(Cheers.) These were some
of the-orts:of peace Which extorted the admiration of
an enemy, and which other -States would do well to
imitate. With reference to that art which they were
then assenibled to promote—the peaceful art of agri-
culture—it was the haeftlinaid of an over-ruling Pro-
vidence, appointed.by llim, and spread out three'times
a day a table at which all the tribes of animated na-
ture and.man himSenhould fed.—(Cheers.) In cul-
tivatinc, this art, lie trusted that the friendly rela-
tions which had now been ratified would lead to an
interchange of thoughts, and instruction, and prac-
tical results hekween England and America. They
would remember, however, that as compared with
Britain, his was but a new country, to a vast extent
,unsettled, and in o;slate" of nature ; the Government

_were large proprietors of .domains, and much of the
land was sold at no more than ss. per acre for the fee
simple. it wasi therefore, in the nature of things, that
young arid enter-prising farmers, instead of remaining
long on one stkifils tenants, went off to tbe west country,
and became proprietors ofplantations themselves ; hence
there was not that finished completeness in agricultu-
ral operations which might be observed on the farms
in this country. Then the climate •of America dif-
fered.much .from that of England.; , the summer there
was hot, and a great breadth of Indian corn or maize,
which fOrmed the staple food of the people, was
rapidly brought to maturity; the winters were much
longer and colder than in England ; and hence the
_turujp_and other cultilres, which formed in Britain the
basis Of much agricultural thrift, could not be con-
ducted:in the United States. There were, notwith-
stan(ling, many points connected with the use of ini-
pl6merits and the general care and tillage of the soil,
on Cvhich much useful information might be diffused
and, discuSed. Kindred as the two nations of Eng-
land and America were in origin—resembling each
other more than any two nations in the history of
'tire world ever didhe trusted that a friendly feeling
would always eXist, and he was ',assured that great
• benefit Would'be derived by. a free' communication of
ideas.froro, ,I 1 e ; side.,_ef, the Atlantic to the other.
There was °tie topic to..which, with every desire to
avoid patical'diictissinn, he wished to refer; he al-
hided. to the recent modificalions of the duties on the
importation.of grain, and their probable effect on the
comuletnial iutercoursebetweeti (;react Britain and the
United States. He fir. Everett) concurred in
opinion with those who thought that it. was much too
to foresee what effect the new scale nf duties
would produce on the American markets. He did not
think, whabyer might be the case with other States,
that America would be the nation to reap benefits from
th6Se. modifications. She was too remote, he consi-
dered, to take advantage of those changes. Neither
didlre*:alifrt.ri a studious attention to the averages,
that any great injury need be apprehended be the
British farmers from an influx of American grain. It was
perhaps possible, when a great supply was needed by this
country, that then America mightget some share of the
trade in the shape of flour. But one thing he (Mr. E.)
would wish them most emphatically to observe, what
America sent to England in corn or flour, be it little
or be it much, she would take back in the products
of British industry; and in this respect the trade of
the country which he had the honour to represent
differed from that of Continental States, whose im-
portations of grain, it had been complained, had
caused a drain of bullion. So far from this being
the case with the United States, the manufactures of
Leicester and other English towns would pay for the
produce of the American fields.—(Cheers.) He was
not practically engaged in the culture of the soil ;
but it was his business to cultivate a good understand-
ing between England and America, and that duty he
must not neglect. (Mr. Everett resumed his seat
amidst loud and prolonged cheering.)
- . The successful candidates, who had obtained prizes
for good conduct and skill in husbandry, were then
introduced, and their several premiums. (consisting of
silver cups, watches, and money payments) were de-
livered to them by his Grace the Duke of Rutland,
who addressed them in an earnest and forcible manner
on the importance and advantage of a due discharge
of all their social, moral, and religious duties.
The llon. E. EVERETT again rose, and concluded
by proposing "Prosperity to the Royal Agricultural
Society of England."—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. H. HANDLEY responded to the toast.
Various toasts connected with the locality were
afterwards given, and some excellent speeches were
made by practical agriculturists.
The Noble CHAIRMAN then delivered an admirable
concluding address, and about 10 o'clock retired, in
company with his friends, amidst the most hearty and
protracted cheering.

THE ARTESIAN WELL AT PARIS.—The operation
of tubing the well at Grenelle has recently been oom-
pleted in the most satisfactory manner, In order to
understand the importance of this work it may be well
to refer to the causes which have rendered it neces-
sary. In the month of February, 1841, after eight
years' persevering labour, the spring at Grenelle be-
gan to pour. forth a volume of water of not less
than 2,600 litres in a minute. But, although the
source was as purO as that of the Seine, it had
as dark a colour as the water in the gutters of the
streets. A pipe of joints, 1,800 feet in length,
copper turned, made as a telescope, was placed in
the excavation ; but, not being strong enough to
resist the force of the ascending waters, it waA
soon flattened and destroyed. M. Mulot thereupon.
j
had a new tube of beaten iron, each oint of which
was thick enough to resist a pressure equal to seventy
atmospheres. On the 20th of this month, after wily
four days labour, the tube was properly Axwl, and
the water now flows abundantly, cloap as rock crys-
tal, and at a milk-warm heat, The old worksliop,
from the middle of which the current flowed, is
already half-destroyed, and on its site the carpenteri
are erecting a scaffolding of strong pine-bAards, 100
feet high, which will direct and forin a channel for
the waters rising to this height, Paris will now pos-
sess an inexhausalo_supply of excellent water, rush-.
ing from suoh an elevation as to be easily distribute:a
to the loftiest situations in the city.

AIR. DORWARD._We are. truly happy to learn that
the health of our worthy and philanthropic citizen,
Mr. Dorward, is so much improved, that for some
time past he has been in the habit of taking an airing
in his garden for a short time in the afternoon when
the Weather permitted. On Wednesday last, being
one of the finest days we have had this season, Mr.
forward entered the carriage of 'William 11rhitc,.
and, accompanied by Captain White, kweeted the
operations at the New Wet Jpplti, the iriVrovtments
at the Museum, 8:c.1 Anci 411Pfulove to the House of
Refuge, the iniPEOPS Of which, from the octogenarian
to the child of five. years, have been on tha qui vine
for several days past, in the explcotatioxt of a visit from
their worthy benefactor, 11r..D;orvvard was received
at the vestibule by 11 r. Maodie and Mrs. Black the
matron, and oonducted to the hall ; an affectionate
welcome was there given him by the children singing
an hymn, `'ho Rev. Mr. Lyall, chaplain to the in-
stitution, offered up a fervent and impressive prayer
for the Divine blessing on the beneficent fbunder.
The kind-hearted gentleman and a fbw of his friends
then sat down to An 4-Nei/Rent entertainment, provided
at his (MA expense, at which he expressed himself as
Wiriff highly delighted with his visit, and his gratifi-
cation at the clean and healthy appearance of the in-
mates, and the orderly and becoming manner in which
they appeared before him. Mr. Dorward then placed
in OW 11Wd5 of Mr. Moodie is handsome sum, to pro-
vide snuff and tobacco for the old people, and sweet-
meats for the young at the approaching market. On

SEPT. 98.—At half-past one o'clock, P.M., to-day,
Colonel Turner, C. 8., Colonel R. Jones,. Colonel
E. Jones, Major Wood, Major Sandilands, Major
Hope, Captain Grant, and a number of officers of the
lioyal Artillery, and Major Aldrich, of the Roy.l
Engineers, assembled at the mortar and howitzer ba,•-
tery, at the south-west end of the Royal Artillery
Barracks, to witness experiments of equally singular
description as they were important in their results.
On several former occasions details have been given
of the result of experiments made by order of the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, with a com-
position invented by Mr. Jeffrey, and now named
marine glue," the object being to test its adhesive
qualities and strength, as it was shown to he insoluble
in water, and consequently invaluable if proved of a
strong binding nature when used for marine purposes,
or in any of the naval departments.
The experiments to-day were conducted under the
immediate superintendence of Major Sandilands, in
the presence of several scientific men, amongst whom
were Sir Isambert Brunel, the projector of the Thames
Tunnel, who appeared deeply interested, and after
witnessing the first four shots remarked, " It was for-
tunate for him that he had finished the tunnel before
Mr. Jeffrey's invention was made public, as he should.
have -been.obliged to nse it, and the credit would then
• have been awarded to Mr. Jeffrey."
Severe tests had been formerly applied to the in-
vention, lint those made to-day were of such a de-
scription as to place its value beyond a doubt, and as
they were made openly, without the slightest reser-
vation or concealment, every person present appeared
fully satisfied.

. .
'Jle first experiment consisteiiin charging an eight-
inch mortal- with four ounces of powder, and after-
wards adding -a ball of hard wood weighing about
&Vbs., formed of two solid pieces, having the appear-
ance of half-moons before they were joined together
in the form of a globe by means of the marine glue.
On the mortar being fired at an angle of 45 degrees
of elevation, the wooden ball was projected into the
air, and fell to the ground with great force at a dis-
tance of 260 yards, rebounding to a considerable
height, without the least symptom, on its being closely
examined, of having yielded or showed a tenancy to
separate by the violence of the Concussion.
The second shot was fired with a charge of eight
ounces of powder, and reached'a much higher alti-
tude than the • first,- and fell to the ground at a dis-
tance of 518 yards, rebounding several times, and on
being examined did not appear to have yielded in the
slightest degree.
The third shot was fired with a charge of 15 ounces
of powder, and attained a still higher altitude than
the former, falling to the ground With tremendous
force at a distance of 760 yards; but it did not re-
bound so much as.the two first, owing to the depth it
entered the ground When it fell. Op examining the
wooden ball it appeared quite sound, and had not
yielded in the least in the joining, although the wood
appeared shaken in one or two places.
The.fourth shot was 'fired with 15 ounces of powder,
the same as the third, but the.wooden ball in this in-
' stance presented the peculiarity of the two halves be-
ing joined together with the composition on the spot
before all the' parties. The operation was quite
simple, Merely bringing the marine glue, used the same
as common glue through the medium of boiling
water, or, as in this instance, by direct application to
a fire lighted in the niortar battery. for the purpose.
The wooden ball was immediately afterwards im-
mersed in a bucket of water, where it remained about
15 minutes, and, in exactly 16 minutes from the time
of its being joined, *a fired from the mortar, and fell
to the ground at a distance of 750 yards without the
slighteSt appearance of the joining having given way,
although so recently formed. It was after the result
of this shot Sir I. Brunel apressed his astonishment
to witness the immense adhesive pbwer of the marine
glue used openly in his presence..
The-first four shots were fired with the solid end of
the wooden balls next the powder but, in order still
further to test the powers of the marine glue, the
111e:tar wt ~again charged . with 201bs. weight of pow-
der, and the first fired Wooden ball placed with the
joined part next the powder, and the mortar elevated
from 45 to 75 degrees. as in the event of the parts of
the wooden ball not being separated by that severe test
it would prove invaluable. On being fired the wooden
ball went such a height as to be invisible, although
its course could be traced until it appeared not larger
than a marble, and it fell at a considerable distance on
the common, about 900 yards from the spot from
whence it was projected.
At the conclusion of these experiments Major San-
dilands asked Mr. Jeffrey if he had any objections to
fire one of the wooden balls from an eight-inch
howitzer against the ground at a short distance, and,
on being answered that he had not the slightest ob-
jection, a charge of two ounces and a half of powder
was used, and the wooden ball fired in the usual
manner, when it struck the ground at about 200 yards
distance, and rebounded numeroustimes over a further
distance of nearly 500 yards, without having any
effect whatever upon it. The same wooden ball was
fired a second time from'the howitzer with a similar
result.

A powerful sledge-hammer was afterwards applied
to one of the wooden balls for some time to endeavour
to separate the parts, but without any visible effect,
only shattering the solid wood. The result of these
experiments made to-day appear to have been alto-
gether so satifactory as to render it probable that no
others will be made unless the marine glue is found
w.cful for other purposes not yet contemplated.

SEVERE THUNDER STORM.—On Wednesday, the
21st inst., a severe thunder storm visited various di-
visions of Galloway and Annandale, from Moffat
water to Lochryan Bay, a line of country embracing
in distance considerably more than a hundred miles.
Around Kirkcudbright, in Borgue and Twynholm,
the storm raged with appalling violence, as we learn
from the following particulars kindly transmitted by
an eye-witness :—" Many of the sheep and cattle were

on the arm i but they are both recovering. Three
water-spouts were seen in the vicinity of Kirkcud-
briOt ; and their irregular twirling in the air attracted
a good deal of attention., after one o'clock it be-
gan to rain; and there were also some heavy
showers
of hail which continued nearly two hours In
Inpt
of Tw.yikholm, and also in Borgne, the hail was
laTige; and it fell in such quantities that bushels of it
might have been gathered in a few minutes. The
horses which draw the two coaches that ply between
Dumfrio and Kirkcudbright were so much hampered,_
while approaching the latter town, that the drivers
were obliged to proceed very slowly and with great
caution. Anwoth and Kirkmabreck hills were griz •
zled as if it had been December ; and even next fore-
noon there were, in some parts of Borgue, consider-
able quantities of half-melted hail. In many places
the turnip shaws are perforated as if they had been
shot at with hard peas ; in others the potatoes are
blAekiened ;; and, where the hail was heaviest, the wil-
le,w trees are partially stripped of their leaves. The
storm lasted upwards of three hours, and was per-
haps more severe in part of Twynholin and Borgue
than in any other quarter. The air has since cooled
much, the wind has been north or north-east, and the
sky has now a settled appearance.—Duntfries Courier.

A LIGHT FOR ALL NATIONS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
consequence of the various nnfoundedand
malicious reports respecting the state of the caisson I
am noW fixing on the Goodwin, as well as from the
hostility which I have experienced from many of the
boatmen or hovellers (so called), together with the
opposition and persecution I have met with from cer-
tain parties whose orders from the Admiralty were to-
render inc every assistance in the completion of this
national undertaking, 1 came at once to the deteY-
mination of laying the whole matter before the Loids
Commissioners of the Admiralty.
In tionsequence- of such communication, their Lord-
ships directed Mr. Edward It. Tinling, commander,
and :Arr. John 111‘Donald, ;vaster, of her . Majesty's

RAMSGATE, SEPT. 27.—1 t has blown a hurricane
for the last two days. This morning, at the. usual
hour (nine o'clock), the Duchess of Kent started for
London. In going out of tie harbour she strained
and laboured much, and Was not off I3road3tairs till
ten o'clock, a distancn which she usually accomplishes
in one-third of the time. After havhig passed the
preventive service station at Broadstairs, and when
standiur out to sea, she was struck by a heavy sea,
which Carried away a portion of her bulwarks, and
one of the wooden houses on deck. A see-and sea
soon after struck her, welling the deck, and carrying
away an additional portion of her bulwarks. At this
moment she made no way, and rolled and pitched
considerab!v. In a moment or two it was apparent
that the slipper had prudently given orders to put
about for liamsgate, where she arrived with sixty or
seventy passengers, shortly before eleven o'clock, It
was found, on examination, that the Duchess had
been . considerably damaged, and twenty carpenters
were immediately set to work on her, so that she
may be in a condition to put to sea to-morrow, wind and.
weather permitting. I believe some portion of the
passengers luggage was washed overboard off Broad-
stairs ; but, at all events, the luggage in general has
had the benefit of a saline immersion. The City of
London, from that port for Calais, put in here to-day,
at about three o'clock. A little before that hour the
Eclipse iron-boat arrived at 'Margate From town ; and
while I write (five minutes before six o'cicck), the
Fame, for London, Captain i;orbyn, has just arrived
safely at her destination. I cannot send any news of
the tight of all Nations, as no boat could communi-
cate with the Goodwin.

rr THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—On
Monday evening, as the mail-train which leaves
London at half-past eight o'clock was within about
five miles of the Tring station (on the London side),,
the engine was suddenly backed for some distance, to
the surprise and apprehension of the passengers. The
general belief was that there had been a "slip" of
earth, one having occurred on the road near the \Vol-
verley station on Saturday last. Presently, however,

LEVANT MAIL.
CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 7.—Great changes having
taken place among the Governors of provinces, the
late Grand Vizier, Izzett Mehmed Pacha, has been
named Mushir of Adrianople ; Said Pacha, of An-
gora; Vedjhi Pacha, of Aleppo and Orfa ; Esaad
Pacha, of Tripoli, of Syria, and Saida ; Ismael
Pacha, of Diarbekir and the mining districts ; and
Izzett Pacha is appointed Ferik of Jerusalem.
It was probably deemed necessary to place Izzett
Mehmed Pacha in Rumelia, as he is an active and
enterprising man, such a one as may be needful at
this moment, when Russian intrigues are so rife in
Servia and that neighbourhood. The popular party
at Servia is anxious to get back Prince Milosch, who
has always been friendly to the Porte. Shekib
Effendi is now there to look into the state of matters,
and is shortly expected at the capital with his report.
In regard to the Syrian question, it is almost uni-
versally thought that it will be settled on the footing
that a Maronite Prince and a Druse Prince are to be
nailied by the Porte, to act under the supervision of a
Turkish Pacha. In the public ordinance appointing
the present Vizier, it is said, " You are to exert your-
self to augment the proved amity of friendly Powers,"
and many think that this expression is a kind of indi-
cation that all will be compliance and submission in
his relations with them ; but those who best know the
Turks regard it as a mere form of words, to which
no pledge whatever can be attached. The Porte may
have modified its measures, but the Ottomans must
change their natures too if a matter of so much im-
portance is brought to a hasty conclusion, and the
menacing visit of French ships of war to Syria, with
that of English ships, to look after the Frenchmen,
will hardly materially accelerate it. The winter is
coming on, and these maritime demonstrations will
probably have ceased before the mere forms of discus-
sion are got through.
There have been more skirmishes On the Persian
frontier; but the attitude of the Porte being purely
defensive, there will be time for the receipt of in-
structions from Great Britain (shortly expected) to
guide our Ambassador with regard to the basis of an
arrangement between the belligerents, before any-
thing like a war can break out. Hostilities, it is pro
liable, will cease without a decided rupture.
Ashkar Pacha, the late Governor of Tripoli, arrived
here three days ago, and an inquiry is to take place
on the subject of his conduct during his administra-
tion of that regency. He came from Smyrna in the
Crescent steamer, and if he is so fond of seeing people
retreat from the world as he is reputed to be, he had
a rich treat on his passage up. The steamer came
across a boat of the country, beating against the
wind, and accidentally ran her down. A wild cry of
terror, a crash, were heard, and silence succeeded.
The boat, and all hands on board, disappeared and pe-
rished.

Sarni Pachi is going off in the Egyptian steamer,
Reshid, on Saturday next. He takes down to Mehe-
met Ali the splendid decoration of a Grand Vizier,
which rank is now granted to him personally, osten-
sibly for the services he has rendered the Sultan.
Some time back he demanded the title of Khan,
which, in Turkey, is granted only to the Sultan, hut
he is contented with that appropriate to the Grand
Vizier for the present.
A note has been given in by the Greek Minister,
regarding the differences between the Court of Athens
and the Porte. It is under discussion here, and that
affair will go on indefinitely unless Greece see its inte-
rest in bringing it to a term by suitable concessions.
Ar.ExAspara, SEPT. 6.—The all-absorbing news
of the day is the promotion of Mehemet Ali to the
high dignity of honorary Grand Vizier of the whole
Ottoman empire, of -which he received the first news
by the French steamer, while t!:e arrival from Con-
stantinople is daily expected of Sarni Pacha, en,
charged with the official' investiture of his new rank
with the accompanying decoration.
The quarantine on vessels from Syria was taken off
yesterday.
The movements of vessels of war in our ports have
been the arrival of the French corvette Diligente,
from Syria, on the 27th Ult., on free pratique. The
departure, on the Ist inst., for Syria, of the Vernon
frigate, where she relieves the Inconstant, ordered for
Malta; and the arrival yesterday of the Phoenix
steamer from Beyrout, where she left everything
quiet. The Cambridge and Vanguard left the same
day for this port, where they are likely to remain
some time. The French squadron had left Beyrout
for Smyrna.

The Egyptian fleet left the port on the 29th ult.,
and on the 3d inst. Said Pacha proceeded on board to
assume the command. They are still cruising off the
port, apparently waiting for orders, and people are
much puzzled to guess what they are going to do.
The squadron consists of the following vessels :
Ships of the line—Mansourah, 102 guns ; Howls,
110 ; Kima, 110 ; lialab, 90 ; El Fayoum, 90; Bern-
soulff, 110. Frigates—Behera, 60 ; Damanhour, 58 ;
Raschid, 58. Brigs—Washington, 16 ; Tempsa, 16 ;
Semindegehat, 10; and a cutter tender. Whilst
there remain in port laid up in ordinary, hardly
likely to beagain made seaworthy, the following ships
of the line :—Mehallel Kibir, 104 guns ; Alexandria,
90; Aboukir, 84 ; Cairo, 110; Acre, 110; besides
:several frigates and corvettes gone as transports to
the coast of Caramankv for bullocks, to supply the
defici.ncy caused by the frightful mortality among
the cattle, which still continues ; and it is to he hoped
May not verily the fears of many parties, who see in
this disease, as has before happened, a forerunner of a
severe plague after the cessation of the present hot
weather.

The Government has made two auction sales of
Shiflik produce; one on the 29th ult. of 5,000 ardebs

or about lOs. 6d. per quarter; 5,000 ard. lentils, 28p
and 12p duty, or about 103. 6d. per quarter; 5,000
more ard. wheat put up at 45p were asked without
a bid. And on the 2d instant, 10,000 ard. beans, at
28p and Hp duty, or lOs. 6d. per quarter; 5,000
ard. lentils, at 28p and 12p, or Ios. 6d.; 10,000 ard.
