so of late date, and give a brighter aspect to
their affairs. Kean the tragedian, is among
the passengers ofthe Slas Richards, and was
.coldly received, as it was proper he should
have been. Neutrality-suspicious. will be found
below. We gather from commercial letters
such information as we think will be useful to
our readers. The speculative demand for
clover seed had ceased, and the price was re-
duced to Sos. in consequence Of the fitness OF
the weather for securing the crop. 1t was
supposed that the large overplus Of flaxseed
in Ireland would considerably reduce the pri-
ces for the next season Very little change
had taken place in the cotton market-the
demand was steady at an advance on former
quotations ola half penny per ID. Many fail
ures of cotton Houses had taken place The
corn crops of the country, with butfcw excep-
tons, had been securedin most excellent con-
dition. Wheat was full average crop ofun-
usually fine quality-the price IS. Cd. to los.

dian wheat that had arrived, was in heated
and unmerchantable state, and consequently
much reduced in value Wheat in bond sold

The British ministry, after much de-
liberation, have resolved not to dis
solve the Parliament the present year,
and this determination has received the
sanction of the King. The Courier
states that this course was adopted with
singular unanimity. "a.
A dreadful accident happened at
Portsmouth, on the 22d ult. at the
launching Of the Princess Charlotte, ship
Of, the line; by which sixteen persons
lost their lives. The following extract
is from an official accounts
| AS it is not Improbable that errone-
Gus statements Of the fatal accident
which occurred upon the day on which
the Princess Charlotte was launched
from the dock yard at Portsmouth,
may obtain currency, twill no doubt
be satisfactory to the public 10 receive
an authenticated account from me Of
of this melancholy event. On We'd
nesday, the 22d of September, the day
Of the launch, the tide rose so rapidly
and TO so unusual height that the
ship was obliged TO be launched sooner
than was anticipated: the same great
rise Of water occasioned such a power
full pressure against the gates Of the
southeast dock in the basin as to cause
them to burst inward and to carry with
impetuous violence into the empty
dock, the bridge which rested upon the
gates, and, with the bridge, the persons
who were unfortunately passing over
it at the time, on their way TO see the
launch. The torrent of water which
rushed into the vacant dock below, O.
overwhelmed the unhappy individuals,
and grieve to say, that, notwithstand-
ing the active and prompt exertions of
those who beheld the dreadful catas-
trophe, and Of the boats which imme-
diately fastened to the spot, but few
persons were rescued from their peril
lous situation The proper means
were Immediately resorted to for the
recovery Of those who were picked up.

THE GREEK WAR.
The accounts from Smyrna are to
the 18th of August, from Constantine
pie to the Esd, from syria, to the 18th;
| and from Zante to the 25th. The af-
fans Of the Morea have taken a moe
favorable turn, but to what extent it is
impossible 10 say Accounts received
at Constantinople from Smyrna, Of the
9Th Of August, state, that "Ibrahim
Pacha, after being joined by the corps
brough, him by Hussein Bey, under
took second expedition against Ma
poll di Romania, and had already ar
rived before the walls of that fortress.
On his approach, the Greeks, who were
in a most critical situation, declared by
a formal ct, and, as is generally be-
lieved here, at the instigation of Com
modore Hamilton, they implored the
protection of England. lbrahim Pa
cha, disconnected by this event, applied
to Commodore Hamilton for an expla-
nation: but instead of any answer being
given him, the Greeks, impelled by
despair, made an unexpected attack on
the Arabs, who were already dispirit-
ed. After several partial but sanguin-
airy combats, l5rahim Pacha hastily re-
treated to Tripolizza. This news, and
the reverses at Missolonghi, have pro-
duced very great sensation here"
