Rests.—Let those who care for the commerce of the
rest of Europe, and who say Russia has guaranteed the
free navigation of the Dardanelles and of the Black Sea
to all nations, remember once and again, that she secures
to herself exclusive privileges—freedom from right of
search—and that Russian subjects shall be amenable to
Russian Consuls and Russian Ministers only ! Call ye
this an equality of privileges to all nations, ye advocates
of Russian moderation ? The exclusive claims for the
Russian flag throughout the Ottoman empire are quite
enough to sicken all but the bigotted admirers of Russian
sincerity and virtue.—Tyne Mercury.
AFFAIR OF HONOUR.—Friday a disp e took place in
Dublin between two official gentlemen (an Alderman of
that city and a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Army), when
such language was applied by one to the other as induced
the person most offended to send a message. The matter
was overheard by a gentleman connected with the police
establishment, and both parties were bound to keep the
peace.
Mr. Webster, of Leven, had a dog, in appearance
much like the Dutch pug, but a species of the terrier,
which Mr. A Keith, portrait painter, Edinburgh, took a
likeness of, which being shown to the animal, he imme-
diately ran of and has not since been heard of! ! !
Tha dog has been ten years about the house.—Eden-
burgh Paper.
When Lord ERSKINE, who commanded the Inns of
Court Volunteers, to which he had facetiously given the
title of the Devil's Own, was asked whether he thought
his corps was to be relied upon in the hour of trial, re-
plied; " I cannot tell that, but I am sure they will, one
and all, levy and plunder."
It appears by the proceedings of the Cork Special
Commission, that the trial of the first fonr prisoners for
having conspired to kill and murder John Bond Low,
Arthur G. Creagh, and Henry Evans, Esqrs. has termi-
nated in a virdict of guilty against all of them. This is
the conspiracy which some of the Roman Catholic
Papers in Dublin were lately in the habit of ridiculing,
as having no existence but in the imagination of credu-
lous persons. There were 17 other persons to be tried.
A certain Magistrate °roue ofourWest Country Burghs
having been in Court when the Lord Justice Clerk
passed sentence of death on two unhappy criminals, was
so deeply impressed with the solemnity of the proceed-
ings, that he resolved on imitating his Lordship in
the discharge of his Magisterial functions. An op-
portunity soon occurred. A delinquent charged with
a petty theft was placed at the bar of the Court
where this Magistrate officiated. A proof was gone
into, and the crime established; when his Worship, put-
ting on his hat with a gravity becoming the occasion,
addressed the culprit nearly as follows : "It is only
left me to perform the painful duty of sentencing you to
thirty day's confinement in Bridewell, and may the Lord
have mercy on your soul."
TAKE CARE OF YOUR POCKETS.—Monday evening,
Mr. Joseph, residing at No. "27, Phillip-street, St.
George's in the East, went to the Surrey Theatre, in
company with his wife and some friends, to witness the
performance of Black-eyed Susan. There being an ex-
cessive crowd round the pit-door, he observed to some of
his friends. " Take care of your pockets." A voice in
the crowd echoed " Take care of your own ;" and on
putting his hand, immediately afterwards, into his
trousers' pocket, to his great astonishment, his purse
was extracted, containing four sovereigns, some silver,
and divers memorandums, with which the thieves got off.

" OPPOSITION STuFv."—John Randolph, in his fa-
mous opposition to the passage of the Woollens Bill in
the American Congress, entered so deeply into the anti-
manufacturing spirit that he declared he would go, at
at any time, 20 rods out of his way to kick a sheep.

DREADFUL FlRE.—Between three and four o'clock
this morning, a fire of a moat alarming nature broke out in the
very extensive premises of Messrs. Hardky and Garrett, Leather
Japanners, and patent Leather Manufacturers, in Princes-street,
Lambeth. From tt e combustible nature of several articles on the
premises, the flames issued forth with a fury that threatened the
destruction of the whole neighbourhood, and were seen distinctly
at half-past four o'clock from Tower Hill. The adjoining large
premises of Mr. Muss, a chemical apparatus manufacturer, were
next ignited ; and notwithstanding the speedy arrival of about a
dozen of the Assuraoce Olice Engines, and a great number of fire-
men, as well as Constables, Watchmen. Lice. the flames had gained
suck a mastery over every exertion used to extinguish them, that
these two valuable manufactories are now reduced to ruins, not a
particle of property in either escaping destruction ! The attention
of the firemen was next devoted to the safety of the King's Arms
Tavern. kept by Mr. Worth, which was preserved from destruc-
tion, although the rear is much damaged. With the exception of
Mr. Worth's house, no part of the property destroyed was Moored.
It is not known by what means the fire originated. The fire was
got completely under by seven o'clock, and we are happy to say
that no one received any personal injury so the occasion.
