Nothing ha: yet been definitively settled respecting
the formation of the New Ministry, beyond the facts
already before the public; "nor will there be any final
arrangement till the arrival Lf Lord Mat.vat.e. In

columns.

The Paris Morning Papers of Wednesday, and the
Gazelle de France of Thursday, were received last night.
Every thing remained tranquil at Constantinople on the
11th ult. and the Russian Ambassador was still detained
at Budjukere by contrary winds at the above date. The
Porte had offered its special protection to the subjects
of the three Powers, who had remained alter the
depatture of their respective Ambassadors. An ex-
tensive revolt has broken out in Arabia, which has
compelled the Viceroy of EGYPT to send troops for its
suppression. Several actions had been fought to the
advantage of the rebels, who are said to have taken
possession both of Mecca and Tail. Nearly 20,000 men,
however, were on their m I rch from Cairo to arrest their
progress. The Frtnch Papers of Wednesday ate chiefly
filled with discussions on the late and new Ministry.

Last week the corn trade was very bri.k, both here
and at Offenbach, and the prices rose. The rrincipal
purchasers are dealers from Worn* who buy up the
corn here and send it ditect to Fiance. It is affitmed
that at present mote extensive businiss of thii kind is
doneat that place than even at Mayenie. toosidei air!,
quantities of Gelman wool have lately been sent to
Fiance, especially the better sorts from Waldeck. We

We ate assured that his Imperial Highness ihr
Grand Duke Constantine has strongly recommended
our countrymen, implicated in the Russian conspiracy,
to the clemency of the Emperor his brother. It is
thetefore not doubted but that these persmsas soon as
the Supreme Court of Justice shall have passed sentence,
*ill obtain pardan. The Grand Duke daily becomes
more popular, and has gained the attachment r f the
Polish nation to such a degree, that if he should leave
us, the greatest regret would be felt by the inhabitants
of the capital, and of the kingdom of P. land.— Ake-

NUNDATION OF THE-THAMES TUNNEL.

'HIS DAY.)

DILLADFUL Loss or Lie ea.—This morning between the hours or
six and seven o'clock, the neighbourhood of Rothe rhithewas thrown
into a great state of alarm and Consternation, in consequence of a
report prevailing that the Thames had again burst into the works o
the Tunnel, and that most of the' workmen had met with a watery
grave. A vast concourse of persons immediately surrounded the
gates of the works, anxious to be admitted to learn the truth of the
report, but were refused admission, on the ground that there was a
sufficient number of workmen in the interior, and that the assistance
of strangers was unnecessary. Upon making ineptiry we have eli-
cited the following facts, which, being received from a source on
which reliance may be placed, we can venture to state, is a correct
1 account of the accident :--As the night navigators were leaving
their work, about six o'clock, they being at the time about 500 feet
under the Tunnel, the water suddenly and terrifically burst in upon
them, sweeping the whole of the men, to the number of £6O.
into the midst of the water. A ►cene then took place, which may
better be imagined than described, ae each man was struggling to
save himself, and thole who had the good fortune to be expert swim-
mers, bad the beet chance; but the numbers that flocked together
to the shaft, rendered it impossible to save all ; and, shocking to
relate, six men perished, and many others were seriously injured.
We regret to state the unfortunate men who have so suddenly
been summoned into the presence of their Manta, have left wives
and large families to deplore their loss. About 11 o'clock the sur-
viving workmen were busily engaged in dragging for the bodies of
their wretched companions, and succeeded in pulling the six bodies
out, but a seventh man is missing. and it is supposed that he has
also shared the same fate.

The Tunnel is now so full, that there is just room sufficient to
allow a small boat to float underneath.
The following are the names of .the unfortunate suilf : Long,
Cook, Collins, Beans, Ball, James, and a man whose name cannot
be ascertained.
