served as retreats for the Janissaries, which the
Sultan ordered to be burnt, we said on the Esd.
The Constitutional, which is seldom conten,ed
with one falsehood, has created, by s own pri-
yate authority, corps of twenty thousand Janis.
saries, who have made the formidable instruction
at Adrianopie.
The fact is, that the instruction there was put
down on the 18th, have already stated, & that
tranquility was restored. We now learn that in
all the fortresses on the Danube, Widdin, R1cs-
chuk, SilIstris and Ibai the Janissares have sub
ntted without resistance TO the orders oil the 60
vernors, and il is probable that they will be equally
obedient in ASIA and other provinces, where these
troops, having learnt the complete destruction Of
the central corps, which constituted their strength,
will not thiuk of revolving. Besides, there is not
every where Constitutional thus 10 give &c, 600
Janissaries to each chief town of Pecbalik, and
their real number in those places seldom exceeds a
few hundred men.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts
show as yet no mitigation OF distress. We are
gratifed at learning however, from individual
likely TO be well informed, that the attention of
Ministers has of late been very seriously occupied
with this subject, and that they have determined
on appropriaing considerable SUN from the trea-
snry Tor the relief of the unhappy persons who
rendered wholly destitute by the present calan-
ty. Neither the mode nor the extent of the relief
have yet. we believe, been decided on: bu, that
tnis Case Is all exception 10 the common rule that
Government cannot usefully interfere in relieving
the wants of the people, is, hear, fully admit
ted. Information has been received by Govern
ment, founded on pretty accurate date, that in
Lancashire alone there this moment near
300, 900 human who are absolutely with
out employment.
In the Colonial Market, appearances continue
10 be somewhat more favourable, but demand is
not very extensive in auy one article. The hold
ers seem generally TO abstain from selling, under
the impression that prices have Lesrly reached
their lowest point, and that the present abundance
OF money will invite speculation by which por-
ton at least of their recent losses may be re-
trieved.
All those capitalists who hope to derive advan-
tage from rise of prices, whether of goods or OF
funded property, urge with all their influence,
both on the Directors OF the Bank and on Minis
tiers, such measures as likely to make money
| still more abundant. They look 10 the formation
OF Branch Banks as one OF the most important of
these measures with peculiar interest, and, those
come into operation, will seek get others intro
duced, whose tendency will equally be to increase
| the circulation. If, however, may believe the
| accounts from Gloucester, the system works very
slowly, the Branch Bank there have scarcely had
single application for discount since is was an =
| nounced that business had commenced.

We have already announced The adjournment of
the American Congress Of Deputies, to meet again
in the neighborhood of Mexico, (ony few miles
distant from that City.) 1t appears that this adj
journment was not without good reason. OF
the few persons assembled Mr.. Dawkins. the
British Commissioner to Panama, had lost, by
death, both his Secretaries. That shore is more
fatal TO the lives of visitors than even the coast
Africa is to the whites. The Commissioner Of
the King of the Netherlands bad gone to Vera
Cruz to be nearer the place of reunion. But, if
be stays long there, the fate Of the two British
Secretaries will almost certainly overtske him
the climate of Vera Cruz being fatal to strangers
as that of Panama.

selves IN our market; and we sincerely hope,
that we shall be enabled to congratulate
our readers on the prospect of returning pros

selves in the belief that our difficulties are past,
bat we feel considerable assurance that we ave
seen the worst. The quantity of gray cloth

as to produce actual scarcity in some de-
scriptions and the stocks of calicoes in the

ry small There are, we understand, con-
siderable orders for yarns but at present the
prices offered lower than our spinners
are disposed to take. The early and promising
state OF the harvest will contribute not little
TO thereyiyal of trade. Though in this district e

turing ones immense relief will be afforded TO the
suffering poor, by employment for the next three

Carriage remains to be mentioned In the vari~
Gus unsuccessful attempts which have hitherto
been made to use steam for the purpose Of NOV
ing carriages along public roads,.it has been
the invariable practice to apply the power ex-
clusively to the wheels; and the consequence
has been, that when any considerable resist
ance has been encountered from extraordinary
weight, rising of the road, &c. wheels, having
no hold of the ground, have not been able to
overcome it. Now, in Mr.. Gurney's carriage,
the power can, when necessary, be applied with
out any reference whatever TO the wheels, and
precisely in the same manner that locomotive
power is applied on man and other animas--
namely, by means of propellers, or feet, placed
underneath the carriage, and acted upon imme-
diately by the steam machinery, when any
extraordinary resistance presents itself But
though the propelers, or feet, Of this carriage
are the most striking features belonging 10
it, the boiler strikes US as being by far the
most important; as thar, if adequate to It's pur-
poses in the present instance, must be available
in a vast variety of other ways in which steam
has not hitherto been applied, on account of the
great weight and bulk of the boilers required
to generate it.

ing letter from gentleman TO his father in this
jcify, dated Bogota, 10Th Of July, gives the par
tlcnars of the murder Of Mr. Fudger, the Anne
rican Consul for the port of Santa Martha.
| "With feelings OF the deepest regret have
to inform you of the death Of our mutual
friend, ]. H. E. FUDGER, Esq the American
Consul, who was most inhumanly murdered in
his own bed on the night of the 18th instant.
He was stabbed through the heart with his
own sword; his throat cut from ear to ear; and
his trunks rihed of their contents. Several
persons are in prison on suspicion; but our po-
lice is so defective, that am afraid the perpe-
traitors will escape. His funeral took place the
following day, and was attended by large con-
course of citizens aud foreigners. The inhabl-
tants of Bogota sincerely mourn his loss and
regret that their city has become The scene of
so foul deed.
Government has given orders to all the civil
and military authorities, to spare no exertions
10 discover the murderers, and Ser Ravenga,
Secretary of foreign affairs, is particularly &C
