y FIRST OF SEPTEMBER PACKET.
The packet ship Britannia, Capt Marshall
has arrived below, from Liverpool whence
she sailed on the first Of September by this
! conveyance our London advices are to the
3lst of August, and Liverpool to the time Of
! sailing.
II OF English news, there is next to none. 1t
was stated in the London papers of Aug. 26,
! from Liverpool, that letters from the United
States had been received, countermanding all
the unexecuted orders for the shipment OF
gold to this country. The previous large de-
mands for gold, however, had caused the
Bank to curtail its issues, and money had in
/ consequence become scarce.
Il a dreadful catastrophe occurred of the
Downs, on the morning Of Aug. 21th:-The
Camellon, very large revenue cutter, was
lying to, about half a mile from the shore
when the Castor irigate coming from the
Downs to Portsmouth,, ran her down, with ~
men below, every ono OF whom were drown
ed. Perhaps more extraordinary accident
never occurred. 1t was broad daylight. The
frigatc must have had the cutter in full sight
for seven miles, and she bore straight upon
her, under her top gallant sails, going with u
spanking northerly breeze, from twelve to
fourteen knots al hour, took the cutter full
imldships, and drove her to the bottom IN an
instant, with scarcely shock to herself
Three hands on the deck Of the cutter leaped
overheard and were saved. An express was
sent off to the Admiral in the Downs, who
came to Dover post, and took the commander
of the irigate into custody, where he must re-
main till a court martial is held. Most Of the
men in the cutter were asleep in their berths,
having just come off night duty. Three
Folkestonc men were drowned on the preced-
ing evening, coming from the Downs Rcgat-
ta making loss of thirty lives.
The crops throughout Great Britain and
IRELAND, are represented to have come in
well.
An appendix has been added to the Quad
ruple Treaty, in consequence Of the return of
Don Carlos to Spain. The precise stipua-
tons Of the new articles are not known.
A serious riot occurred at Chatham, Eng,
Aug. 2lst, among the privates of the SSth
(rish) regiment About thirty were wound
ed. On the following day, an ailruy occur
red between party Of the same regiment
and some sailors, in which several Of the lat
ter were severely wounded.
Serious riots have lately taken place in diff
ferent parts Of Ireland. At Ballynanty n COLI
stable was killed with stone by one Of the
rioters, and the windows Of the Court House
were broken in. At Callan the police were
obliged to fire upon the mob, killed one man,
and wounded two others dangerously.
The cholera had been very bad at Dublin,
but was on the decline. 1t had also very
much abated at Madrid; the number of deaths
being but about twenty per day. The whole "
number of deaths by cholera at Gottenburg,
was 1876. On the 18th of August there
were 140 interihents, and it is added, hun
dredS still remained uninterred for want Of
graves" The disease had broken out at We
nersburg and BORIS.
From France, there is little news Of any
interest. Prince Tallcyrand had arrived in
Paris, and it was reported that he would not
return to London, but would be replaced by
the Duke Decases. i
No decisive blow had yet been struck in
Spain. Two or three minor engagements had
occurred, and it was reported that terrible
battle was fought on the 22d August, on the .
sea shore, near Liquietio, in which the Car
lists lost 1000 men in killed and woundcd.-, I,
1t would seem certain that the prctcndcr's
troops had failed in the twofold purpose of
their expedition into Bscay-that ofcoverlng
the landing of supplies by sea, and trying to
raise the country in their favor. They had in
returned to their old lairs in the
parts Of the Basque mountains.
AT Madrid matters appear far from being in
settled state. Conspiracies are still talked
Of. 1t is rumorcd that n body of Portuguese 4
troops had been ordered to cooperate with
General Rodil.
new attempt was making to get up n
Carlist loan. The project is brought forward

Don Pedro had opened the Portuguese
Cortes in Lisbon, Oh tho Nth August. The
question he propounds to the Cortcs, "whc-
ther the Regency ought or ought not to be
continued during the Queens minority Pr
looks very much like an intention on his part
10 assume the legal power hi,nself. 4
The most important news is the recon-
of lostilities between Turkey and
Egypt. The selection of this particular juno
Lure by the Sultan to renew the war, was oc-
by the insurrection in Syria, and the
reported death of lbrahim Pacha, which last,
however, turns out to be untrue. When it is
recollccted that Russia is bound to the form
er, by an offensive as well as defensive trea-
", this event may lead to important results.
A severe shock Of an earthquake occurred
It Cephalonia on the 9TH June. A great ma
ny houses were cracked from top to bottom,
md some fell down altogether. No lives 4
were lost, though two or three were severely /,
