OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION OF THE PACIFICA-
TION OF THE EAST.

The annexed letter has been received at the office of the
Oriental Steam Company from their agent in Alexandria,
and would seem to remove all doubt, if any yet existed, of
the submission of the Pasha of Egypt to the requisitions of
the allied powers :
" To the Managing Directors of the Peninsular and Oriental
Steam Navigation Company, London.
" Alexandria, Nov. 26,- Noon.
" Gentlemen;—We have only one instant to inform you,
that the Eastern question is at length brought to an amicable
conclusion.
" The pasha has consented to evacuate Syria, and to give
up the Turkish fleet, which, however, Commodore Napier
allows him to retain until the treaty be ratified in London.
" The commodore is at this moment with his highness,
arranging, we believe, the port of embarkation of the troops
from Syria, which is the only point remaining to be settled.
In haste, we remain, gentlemen, your obedient servants,
" BRIGGS & CO."

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL MISCELLANY

A letter published in the Commerce, of Tuesday, from
Frankfort, confirms our announcement of some days since,
relative to the organisation of a military force by the Ger-
manic powers as a measure of precaution against the formi-
dable levies made in France.

ST. JEAN D'ACRE AND ALGIERS.—The weight of shot
thrown at a broadside by Sir Robert Stopford's squadron
amounted to 12,4341 b ; by Lord Exmouth's 10,0581 b ; being
a difference of 23761 b, or equal to the armament of two line
of battle ships. With the exception of the Talbot's three
quarter-deck guns, none of the shot fired at St. Jean d'Acre
were less than 32-pounders, whilst at Algiers more than two-
fifths were under that weight—a most essential consideration
in firing at stone walls.

A letter from Cherbourg states that since last Wednesday
evening cannon have been fired there every quarter of an
hour.—The Phare de la. Manche says, " Ever since Thurs-
day the Belle Poule has been crowded with people anxious to
view the coffin of Napoleon. It fills nearly the whole of the
chapelle ardente, but the splendid sarcophagus made at Paris
is not exposed, being still Inclosed in the case of oak made to
preserve it fro:n injury on being carried on board, and in its
subsequent removals. The whole of the coffins form a mass
weighing 4,4001b5. They remain covered with a pall of violet
velvet. At the head is placed an imperial crown with a crape
veil, and at the foot is suspended a gilt lamp. The whole of
the roof and sides of the chapel are hung with velvet sprinkled
with silver stars, and ornamented with silver cords, fringes,
and tassels. The chamber is lighted with six lanterns, one
at each corner of the coffin, and one on the two sides of the
altar, which is placed behind against the bulk-head of the
officer's berth. It is supported by two large gilt eagles. The
whole produces a rich and imposing effect.

It is admitted that the present season has, thus far, been
highly favourable to farming operations in the north. In all
directions the winter wheats present the most promising ap-
pearance.—Newcastle Journal.
CURIOUS TRANSMISSIONS THROUGH THE POST.—On
Friday, a quantity of game passed through the Bath post-
office ; and on Saturday morning, a halter was sent to a young
man in this city, ready for his convenience, if ever he should
want to hang himself.—Bath Journal.
There has been a run on Mr. O'Connell's National Bank
at Sligo last week, which, however, ceased after some days.
The effect had to bring down the market in that neighbour-
hood. The Sligo Champion asserts that the tory landlords
and agents refused the notes of the bank before the run be-
came general, and urged the people to hasten to the bank and
get gold for their notes. This, it is said, they did from spite
to O'Connell.—Irish paper
BETTER THAN A DOZEN.—" Well, Pat, how many chil-
dren have you now ?" " Why, thin, it's better than a dozen
I've got, any how." " Better than a dozen ! Six months
since you'd only ten." " That's thrue—and I've only jist
one more now. But sure, yer hanor, isn't eleven better than
a dozen for a poor boy like meesilf ?"
CLERICAL PATRIOTS.—At the late Carlow election three
Protestant clergymen espoused the cause of Father Maher,
and voted for Mr. Ponsonby. They are the Rev. Messrs.
Spray, of Carlow ; Thomas (we believe), of Galway ; .and
Durden, of Oldcastle, in the county of Meath. Having
spotted themselves for preferment, we wish them joy of their
new alliances, no less than their prospects of reward.—
Dublin Evening Mail.

THE SCOTT MONUMENT.—We understand that Mr. Dick
has received £lOO from Liverpool, in aid of the auxiliary
subscription for the completion of the monument in Edin-
burgh to the memory of Sir Walter Scott. We shall hail
this as an earnest of the interest felt by our countrymen
generally in this national tribute A • and we are happy to
uu.
learn that something about £l,O only is now wanted to
complete Kemp's original design.—Caledodian.Mercury.
AMAGISTRATE CONVICTED OF SWEARING.—At the Bre-
con Petty Sessions, held at the Guildhall on Saturday last,
William Williams, Esq. a magistrate of the county of Brecon,
appeared on an information laid against him for profane
swearing, while acting in his magisterial capacity on the 21st
of November last. Witnesses having been examined in sup-
port of the charge, the magistrates stated, that they were of
opinion the case was clearly proved against Capt. Williams ;
but, as there was some difference of opinion as to whether
the oaths and curses were profane or not, they retired for a
short time, and afterwards returned into court and pre:
nounced the defendant guilty, and convicted him in the pc
nalty of five shillings, the amount fixed by the act of parlia-
ment, and costs. The case excited intense interest, and the
o art was crowded.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.
