A Gentleman who has lately landed here from
Egypt, states, that the Pacha of that country is fitting
out a large force, comprising sixty-five vessels of war,
among which are two sail of the line, and several very
large frigates. • The large ships belong to the Grand
Seignior, which have been sent to Alexandria, to be
Narpped at the expene of the Pacha of Egypt, with a
view of draining his coffers, and to prevent him from
declaring himself independent of the Porte--a fear of
which has for a long time prevailed in the Divan. It
is also wished that the said Pacha should go to sea in
one of the line-uf battle ships, but he is too wary to be
'wrapped by this snare. He intends, he says, to go to
sea with the fleet, but it is in a most beautiful yacht,
built for him lately at Trieste, which sails uncorn•
wooly well, and in which, surrounded by his own
panizans, he can always secure to himself a needful
retreat from his 1$ faithful" allies the Turks. The
objsct .to be accomplished by this fleet is, to take
on hoard several thousand Arabs and other Egyptian
solders, and endeavour to reduce Hydra. It is given
out, however, that their first purpose is to destroy Lord
Cochrane. he beautiful banks of the Nile are at pre-
sent the scene of great misery, arising from excessive,
lazation on all produce, which is the only means the
despot wh governs the country has of raising an in-
come, and which consists principally of COttoii, wheat
and a coarse grain* called Dhora. The latter .article is
sent to all the ports of Batbary, from Alexandria to the
Straits of Gibraltar; the cotton is shipped to France
and England, but as it does not realise so high a price
as formerly, the Pacha has become considerably ides--
tient in his treasury. It appears probable, oetwithstands
interhac has been said to the contrary. that this fleet
will not leave Alexandria, the Pacha being afraid to
leave the shores, le.t, in his absence, with so many
troops, the disaffected Arabs may be induced to set up
a Governor, and displace him.

On Thursday afternoon the ship Marquis of Huntley,
Captain W. Ascough, went past this port (Portsmouth)
after landing passengers here, from New South Wales,
whence she s.iled on the 10th of February, with a cargo
of cedar, blue gum plants, Ye:nails, Zealand spars.
spokes, oil, wool. salted hides. and three half•pipes of
Colonial wine. Left at Sydney, the ships Grenada, Bro-
thers, Bombay, add Cumberland. We regret to learn
that the whaler, Three Sisters, Captain Duke, arrived at
Sydney, on the 9th of February, in eleven days. front
New Zealand, with accounts of the Wesleyan Mission
statior at that island having been plundered of its vale-
'abler, and the Missionaries and their families conveng
to fiy from Whangaroon for their lives. The Rev. Mr.
Turner, Mrs. Turner, and their three children, together
with the Rev. Messrs. Hobbs and Stack, and Mr. L.
Wade and wife, were conveyed to Sydney in the
Three Sisters. The same ship also took .back _to
Sydney, %ixty.six convicts, who had been put on board
the brig Wellington, to be landed at Norfolk Island,
and when within two days' sail of that destination, these
desperate fellows rose upon the Captain, crew, and
troops, whom they made prisoners, and took possession
of the vessel, which they steered for New Zealand,where,
fortunately, the Sisters was then lying, engaged in a
whaling voyage. On their arrival off the Ray of Islands,
Captain Duke discovered the state of the vessel. An
action commenced between the crew (about thirty men)
of the Sisters and the pirates, which lasted upwards
of four hours, when the Wellington's mainmast was car-
ried away. Captain Duke, on this, neared the brig,
and went alongside in a flag of truce. He entered into
a parley with the pirates, assuring them, if they did not
instantly surrender, he would go on shore, fetch off three
or four hundred of the natives, and not leave one man
alive. They accepted the Conditions, struck to the
Sisters, and Captain Duke :had, by his resolution, the
satisfaction of making a successful capture, after a
• bloodless contest on his side. Four of the prisoners
had fallen.

The Wa'spite and Volage sailed from Sydney the
6th of Janoaty, for Valparaiso. Lady Brisbane (relict
of the lamented Sit James Brisbane) and the two Misses
Brisbane, were on board. Thi Success, Captain Ster-
ling, had sailed, with the Colonial cutter, Currency, in
company, to form a settlement in King George's Sound.
The settlement formed about three years since at Mel-
ville Island (in the Gulph of Carpentaria), with a view
to open a commercial intercourse. with the Malays, had
completely failed. The settlers, during two years and a
h.lf, had never seen one Malay ; nor had they been able,
om the hostility of the natives, to penetrate more than
%miles imo the interior of the island, the natives being
in the most savage state of barbarism, and all attempts to
conciliate them proving abortive. The Fly, Capt. We

although it is not equal to the production of that Prince

smart tales, and some dozen capital puns: The iriimi-

Among the prose articles are many happy sketches
of modern life and manners—and there is one senti-
mental tale, which, as it is adapted to our limits, and
shows the versatile powers of the Author, we take in
preference
THE COTTER'S DAUGHTER.
" your sentiment I"
Sahuffor ikendeL

It was a cold stormy night in December, and the green lags as
they blazed and crackled on the Cotter's hearth, were rendered snore
delightful, more truly comfortable, by the contrast with the ley
showers of snow and sleet which swept against the frail casement,
making all withoet cheerless and miserable.
The Cotter was a handsome, intelligent old man, and afforded
me much information upon glebes, and docks, and rural economy;
while his sparse, a venerable matron, was bumming to herself some
long since forgotten ballad; and industriossly twisting and twirling
about her keg knitting needles, that promised soon to produce a
pair of formidable winter hose. Their son, a stout, healthy yoking
peasant of three-and-twenty, was sitting is the spacious chimney-
corner, sharing his frugal supper of bread and cheers with a large,
shaggy sheep dog, who sat on his haunches wistfully watching every
mouthful, and soap, snap, snapping, and dextrously catching every
morsel that was cast to him.

We were all suddenly startied,however, by his loud bark ; when,
jumping op, he rushed, or rasher dew towards the door.
" Whew! whew !" whistled the youth—" Whoy—what the
dickens ails the., Harm r said he, rising and following him to the
door to leers the cause of his alarm. " What ! be they gone again,
ey ?" far the dog was silent. " What do thee sniffle at, boy? On'y

tall!—lt's some 'un he knows for sartain. 1.4 lay a wager it wur

" Did thee hear any knock, lad r said the father.
Noa !" replied tie youth; " but mayhep Bill peep'd thre the
bad in the shutter, and is a bit dash'd like at seeing a gentleman
here. Bill ! is't thee, Master Miles ?" continued be bawling. " Lord !
the wind whissies se a' can't bear me. Shall I unlatch the door,
" Ayr !sic
, lad, do, as thou wilt," replied the old man • " Rover's wiser
nor gee be—a dog 'II scent a friend, when a man woUld'ut know en."
Rover still continued his low importunate whine, and began to
Watch against the door. The lad threw it open—the dog brushed
passed his in a instant, and his quick, abort, continuous yelping,
etpressed his immoderate joy and recognition.
"Hollis! where best thee, mar said the youog peasant, step-
ping over the threshold. " Come, none of thee tricks upon travel-
lers, Mester Bill; I see thee beside the rick you !" and patios thq
door for half a mince., he again hastily entered the cot. The rich
colour of robust health bad fled from his cheeks—his lips quivered
—and be looked like one bereft of his senses, or under the influence
of some frightful apparition.
The dame rose up—her work fell from her trembling hands--
" What's the matter ?" said she.

What's (righted thee, lad r asked the old man, rising.
" Oh reyther!—eh! mother I"--exclaimed be, drawing them
hastily on one side and whispering somet►ing in a low, and almost
inaudible voice.

The old woman raised her bands in supplication sad tottered to
bar chair—while the Cotter, bursting out into a paroxysm of viobeot
rage, clutched his sees arm, and iticlaimcd in a loud voice :
" Make fast the door, babas thou'll net have my carat oe thee!

Overcome by these heart-rending reproaches, the *strewed girl
fainted; but the wrong arm of the yesing cotter affected her—for
the tender-hearted youth, moved by his fallen sister's sorrows, had
vectored again to intercede.

We are forbidden further remark: but in conclusion
we must say the engravings alone are worth the price
of the volume, although, without the admirable etchings,
the production is sure to obtain popularity and pa-

she faintly answered, "two initiates yet." and after • selosan parse,
lifting up her face to Heavenishe gave the sigoal--the drop fell, and
in a moment, after one or two convulsive motion*, she was a corpse.
The assesded multitude maintained a death-like stillness, and the
first interroptioo of the solemn silence arose from the steps of crowds
retiring from the seem. The body. after haying bung for three

Paortatous.—The stock of Butter here is small, but the supply of
fresh in the country market is abundant, and of course operates
against the consumption of Irish Prodoce. Beef, Perk, and Bacon
very dull.

Tye THAMES Ttnrwax.—Saturday, at kw tide, a
most singular apparatus was sunk, to guard against
any future irruption, -It is composed of the sail of an
East Indiaman, stronidy *fed, and loaded with a very
strong iron chain, which ii seirn to it at the edges; and
at a distance of about. three feet from the edge, pieces
of•iron, of great weight, are also fixed; thus leaving
the middle part of the tarpauffn.4en to the suction of
any aperture that may be met %vial,- Thit tarpaulin
will be loaded with clay ; but not so he oily as to create
too strung a pressure upon the earth in thaaface of the
shield. It is intended that this .apparatus *hall reach
I lion' the present spot of excavation to the Northern
shore; thus forming, in point of fact, a new bed to the
River. When it is doubled, as it is intended, it will be
50 feet wide and 100 feet long. The extrema width of
the Tunnel, including both arches, is sousewbst ten
than 40 feet. •
