The new Play forthcoming on Saturday next, at Co-
vent Garden Theatre, under the title of The Three Strangers, is
written by the Author of Zrubsner, and founded on that story.—
Report says. however, that she has not followed the original closely,
either in the conduct of the Piece, or the tenour of the character.
'On the Sd instant the earth opened in the plain of
,Leyden, and a house was swallowed. Efforts were imnfediately
made to save the inhabitants; in the night three men were ex-
tractOd, two of them slightly woutided : the other, a very old man,
had his arm fractured.

The brig Horatio, Captain OAKLEY, was blown np in
Batavia roads, on the II th of June, when the Chief Officer,
, gunner and nine of the crew, perished.
Letters from Rio Janeiro state, that negociatinns had
been opened in concert with the Ministers of France
and Austria, resident there, relative to a commercial
treaty between Portugal and Brazil, which will com-
plete the act of independence published on the 15th ult.
Letters from Italy state, that IBRAHIM PACHA is
making great efforts to obtain possession of one of the
ports in the East of the Morea, in order to be able to
communicate with the sea, and receive freely the rein-
forcements from Egypt. He had already attempted to
make himself master of Monambasia, but having failed
in that enterprise, he had turned his force against Ma-
rathonisi, where he was equally unsuccessful.- In Eto-
lia, RIDSCHID PACHA had endeavoured to carry the po-
sition of Machala, but he bad been originally repulsed
by KARADKAKI. ..
Dr. BRADY has erected a shot-factory, at Ballycerris,
over one of the shafts of the Mining Company of Ire.

will save the country, for this article, between 50,0001.
and 40,0001. annually.
On the 11th of July, the Governor of Madras visited
tho College, to express his satisfaction at the result of the

pasaeJ, every former one, in the number and proficiency
of the Students. Of twelve Students, five were found
to merit the highest rewards which the College could
bestow, viz. Messrs, Walker, Oakes, Brown, Onslow,
and Cherry.

STEAM GUN.—About eight o'clock, on Tuesday
morning, the neighbourhood of the Regent's. Park was
aroused by the loud and reiterated explosions of Pais.
KINS'S steam gun, in his manufactory there. The noise
was very diffcrent from that produced by the ignition
of gunpowder, in a tube of the same calibre. It often
resembled a very rapid running fire of musketry, ac•
companied with a rubbing sound or coat, that quite
dealened the unaccuston:ed ear. Placards were borne
about in the immediate vicinity of the spot, to warn pas-
sengers of what was going on. The Duke of Was,.
LIKGTON, and a numerous party of Officers of Engineers
and Artillery, entered the manufactory, which was then
closed to all strangers. They continued several hours,
and it the destructiveness of the weapon can be judged
from the appalling impression c4used by the explosion,
it must be terrible indeed. The following is a calcu-
lation of the a Ivan rages in point of economy, compared
with yunpowder. Suppose '250 balls are discharged in
ntinum by the single barrel steam gun, or 1,000 per
hour, this, for siitcen hours, would require 14000 oz.
,ofsunpowsier per hour, or 15,000 lbs. weight for the
sixteen hours. The expense of gunpowder being 70s.
per cwt. or 951. peas thousand, is 52.51. Mr. PRIMUS
says that he can throw that number of balls in succes-
biva for the pike of five bushels of coal pet hour, or
bct.A cca ;4. or 4/. orl,y tot sixteen bouts.
