NJ athew is termed, is at present in Liverpool.
where he intends remaining few days, during
which he will be buslly engaged in advocating the
principles which he has hitherto so successfully
promulgated. On Saturday. accompanied bv Il
Mrs. Jackson Of Whitchaven, also temperance
lady, he addressed crowded audience at the
Liver Theatre in that town. On Sunday he
preached two sermons at St. PatrcI,'s Chapel, in

CANAL ACROSS THE IsTHMUs.-The project
which has been so long mootcd, and which ought
long since to have heen carried out, of joining the
Atlantic and Pacific by a canal across the 18th
mus of Daricn has. it will be seen by a paragraph
in another column, been at length undertaken by
a firm whose ample resources and public spirit
afford a guarantee for its speedy and practical
ompIetion-Messrs. Barings, Of London. The
canal. it is stated, will be completed in five years.
Assuming the report TO be correct, as regards
Messrs. Barings-and if so, it is certainly compll
mentary to their spirit and cnterprlse-stl 1t is
almost to be regretted that the leading nations Of
Europe, in conjunction with the United States,
have not clubbcd together to make this great
connecting link between the two oceans public
property.
FnANcE.-In the early part of the week it was
reported that his Majesty the King of the French
was seriously indisposed. The reports, which, at
the time of the publication Of them, were doubt
cd, have not subsequently, been either confirmed
or renewed.
We observe in the Paris papers democratic
reunion in favor of Irish repeal. which the Ma
tional states to have taken place in compliance
with the wish manifested by the Republicans of

whole miscellaneous asscmblage only amounted
to one hundred persons, including. 1t seems, dcpu-
ties of the ertreme gnuche members of the In
stitutc literary men, electors of Paris command
ers and officers of the National Guard, and
deputation of the "patrlots Of Orleans and
ROuen.''
The statements with which the French papers
furnish US are of Importance purely domestic In

appear, the Gulzot asccndancy.
Letters from Rome state that the Pope is anX-
ious to revive the ceremony OF solennly GROWING
the greatest poet at the capitol, and that he has
offered this distinguished honor to Chatcaubrand.
The Vicomptc declined the intended honor.
SrAlx.-The intelligence from Spain leaves 40
doubt that the fate of the Regent is sealed Ma

open his communication. ii is stated, with Sara

OF Znrbano had entered Siragossa, where that
General was expected The following day with ten
battaons. Madrid was peeccal'Ic, but as for the
Regent, he is wha; tllc French papers call him
a lost man.

disintcrcstcd but there is unhappily but little
disintcrcsted patriotism in Span.
EGyrr-The Intelligence from Egypt is the
most important we nave quoted from that conn-
try for some time. That vigorous and vlgllant
old dcSpot, the PaSha, has been compelled, by the
advance OF years and the pressure oil miiTlnlt!cS,
(Which for wears he has ondeavored to concca,)
To shake all aud business from his age,
Comforting all upon the younger strength
of his grandson Abbas. Him he empowers to
act in his stead and to succeed him, to the dctrl-
mcnt OF his own son IbrGhim, an invalid. In the
event Of the Pashas death, this arrangement may
issue in a serious turmoil. as lbrahim and Ab5as
have long and deadly enmity TO satisfy. and rs
each Of them is supported by numerous and lnliu-
cntal partisans The PaSta's choice however,
is Amply justified for, if we mistake not, recent
travellers describe lbrahm man who INDUCES
in the grosSeSt excuses, and associates with the
lowest classes of society.
TunKEy-The Augsburg Gazette Of the 18th
instant states that the Scryian revolution has
been stopped by the reelection, on the 9th ult.,
of Prince Alexandria Kara Gc0rgewitch. The
election was lcgalized, as far as the Porte is con-
cemed by the presence Of Hadz Pacha and as
far as Russia had light TO appear by the presence
OF Baron Diaven and the Consul Wutschcntsko.
A letter from Tabriz brings the disastrous &C
count of an earthquake having nearly destroyed
the whole OF the town OF lihoi, between the Lake
of Urnia and Persia, by which upwards OF a
thousand people persisted The inhabitants of
Tabrz had also been alarmed by frequent and
violent shocks.
