rushed forward, when they arrested ten men; the
rest fled IN the obscurlty OF the night we nave
not heard whether any of the soldiers were Killed
or wounded, but we may hope, III absence OF IN

were burned, and but for the prompt conduct OF my
servants, the whole establishment would have been
consumed. From the threatening notices had

on the spot when the hre commenced, the magls-

more than counterbalanced the pleasure OF fox

Extract of letter dated Athens, Oct 3l.-In
politics have scarcely anything to add to my late
communications, except that the same satisfactory
general tranquility and order continue to prevail

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Oct 1.-THE LATE CoMMo-
poRE PoRTER-The elimination of the late
Commodore Porter ook place on Satur day
the I4th instant. The United States brig
Truxton, on that morning left Zophane, accompa-
n1ed Dy n steamer engaged tne occasion, St.
Stephens, the place where the remains Of the late
Commodore were laid. Amongst the COM
pany who were on board, to pay the last honors to
the deceased, were almost all the Foreign repre-
sentaves of the Courts of Europe, the officers OF
the steamers and ships Of in port, and the Ame-
rlcans resident In the capital Arrived at st. Ste
phens, no time was lost in proceeding to the grave,
and the melancholy ceremony of exhumatlon was
speedily performed. The cap and sword of de-
ceased, over which the American flag was thrown,
being placed on the coffin, the procession moved
slowly to the beach. The Internuncio of Austria
the Ministers of Spain and Sardinia, and the Bel
gian, Swedish and Neapolitan Charges d'Afiaires,
held the pail. The Truxton and steamer carried
their flags half mast high, the former firing minute
guns, and on her return to Zophane she fired Sc
venteen guns salute, which were returned by
II. NJ. steamer Devastation, and without coming TO
an anchor she proceeded on her homeward voyage.
Is it not little singular that the deceased Commo-
dore served as a mldshipman board the brig
which is now conducting his remains to his native
country.

Affairs OF ScINDE.-A Especial general Cour,
of Propretors of stock in the East India Compan nv
call signed by nine proprietors, the object being to
protest against the recent military movements in
Scinde as ''uncalled for, impotic and UNJUST
Sir Hartford Jones Bridges and Joseph Hume were
among the sieners of the call Nothing was DONE
however the chairman of the Court of Directors
throwing a suggestion in the way that the papers
were not sufficiently or regularly before the meet
ing, and after a somewhat acrimonious discussion,
an adjournment to some future day was carried
the daynot named, and the chairman promising
that the papers should be printed, &c &c. We
presume that, in the of the Rajah of Sat
tara the discussion on the merits will be STAYED off
three or four years. until the doings in Scinde are
so thoroughly completed that discussion will be of
no use.
