A Royal Pageant.
LoNDoN, September 5. ISIS

On Tuesday the 9Th inst, her Majesty
prorogued Parliament in person. She arri
we'd the day previous from Osborne, her
marine residence at the Isle of Wight. and
held Privy Council, and also Court At
Buckingham Palace, the same day. The
weather, for wonder, was remarkably fine
and vast concourse of people were collec-
ted in St. James's Park-perhaps not less
than fifty thousand. | have heretofore des-
cribed the royal cortege, on the occasion of
her Majesty's opening Parliament in state:
and, take it for all in all, as regal and
magnificent spectacle it cannot be surpassed.
The whole line of route, from the Palace
to the House of Lords, mile and half in
extent, is wildly marked out by the Life
Guards, richly caparisoned on superb black
chargers, and little army of policemen,
in their smart blue uniforms and white
gloves.
At one O'Clock precisely the royal band,
on horseback, some forty or fifty performers
in heavy gold-laced coats, with splendid in
struments, including kettle drums of silver,
struck up the national anthem, s. God save
the Queen and Immediately afterwards
the Palace gates were opened, and the pro-
cession was in motion. Accompany of Horse
Guards preceded, next six royal carriages,
each with six horses, poslillions on the lead
ing pair and coachmen on the box, besides
walking groom TO each horse, on either
side, and three footmen behind, all in rich
state liveries. Then comes company of
Life Guards, followed by her Majesty's
footmen, ia scarlet and gold, with white silk
stockings and pumps, and then the Yeomen
of the Guard, some sixty or eighty tall men
in the quaint costume of the olden time,
each carrying halbert. The royal car
riage next, with eight horses, containing the
QUEEN and Prince ALBERT, closely follow
ed by another detachment of Life Guards.
AS her Majesty passed the cheering was
apparently very enthusiastic, and every OBJ
server must feel convinced that the day is
yet distant when any serious political out
break can occur in these dominions.
AT five O'Clock the same day her Majesty
embarked on the Royal Victoria and Albert
yacht, at Woolwch, for Scotland. The
steamers Black Eagle, Vivid, and Vitago
formed part of the royal squadron. 1t was
expected that the Queen would dsembark
in Aberdeen barbor, on Thursday, the 7th
inst, whence she would proceed to Balmor
al, her Scotch residence.
After her Majesty's return from Scotland
the Court will reside for time at Windsor
Castle; and with view of encouraging the
British drama, the Queen has bespoken five
dramatic soirees, for her private entertain
ment. and the whole will be under the di-
rection of Mr. Charles Kean, who will gain
a very good position by the affair.

WHOLESALE POISONING IN PARIs.-M
Hirean, military surgeon on half pay, has
written letter TO the Mayor of Paris where
in he points out that the supposed wilful
and guilty poisoning of the brandy offered
for sale during the Instruction of June, was
imaginary, bat that the deleterious effects
of the liquors sold by itinerant vendors were
not so The fact is that of the revolving
acts then pcrpetrated, and the maniacal ex-
element noticed ON both sides, were partly
owing to the noXious substances mixed with
the awful beverage sold IN the street under
the name of brandy. This shocking adul-
terated liquor has been analysed and found
to consist of very small amount of largely
diluted alcohol, mixed with an acid and an
inodorous liquid, and colored with decoc-
ton of oak bark or tobacco. This destruc-
tive drink, ingested on an empty stomach,
produced wild state of excitement, fol-
lowed by profound prostration.-Lancet.
If what we have heard is true the sale of
adulterated liquors is by no means confined
TO Paris. We have been told that most of
the {" brandy =" retaled AT the lower class of
drinking shops in the city of New York is a
vile compound of bad whlskey and worse
drugs, producing the same poisonous effects
as those described in the extract from the
Lancet, though in less vrulent degree
Every body who reads the papers must have
observed how frequently intoxicatIon is fol-
lowed by acts of savage violence, indicating
the presence of temporary phreuZy. Liquor
used to make men uproarous and stupid now
it seems TO make them mad and blood-thirs-

Reasons why Gen. Taylor should be
President.


He will be bound by the Constitution--and
by the Constitution as it is expounded and
explained by the Judiciary of the United
States.
VIII be bound to take for his guide in his
administration of the National Government,
the rules and doctrines established and held
by our first Presidents.
/ He will enter office without .ledges, that
he may be free to carry out the wishes of
the people as expressed by their hepresen-
tatives.
/ He will not attempt to influence the ac-
ton of Congress, by foreshadowing his own
peculiar notions on mooted questions of
doubtful! policy, further than required by the
Constitution; nor will he permit his Cabi-
net to do so.
He will not embarrass the action of the
peoples Representatives, or defeat their
will by the exercise of the Veto power, 9th
er thar an cases of extreme hasty legislation
or clear violation ofthe Constitution.
He will not veto or prevent the passage
of laws passed by Congress, in reference TO
the improvement of rivers and harbors, or
any other matter that constitutionally be-
longs 10 them to settle.
He will prevent and overthrow all schemes
aud plans for the conquest of other coun-
tons TO these States
lie will prevent war, because, having tru-
~ toiled through its desolating walks, and
witnessed its sad havoc of the fireside and
hearth-stone ofhis fellow man, he feels that
it is an evil constantly to be avoided, unless
necessity requires its existence.
He will administer the Government faith
fully according TO the Constitution. During
his long life of arduous and trying service,
he never failed to perform all his duties well
aud faithfully.
lie will prescribe no man for n conscien-
tious difference ofopinion; being lover of
liberty of thought himself, he can afford 10
tolerate il in others.
He will, through his great popularity, be
enabled to govern our country without the
aid of organs or irresponsible cabals; but
being the President of the people, to them
alone he is responsible for his actions, with
out cringing subseryieney to platforms,
erected TO misguide, instead of informing the
public mind.
In addition to these reasons for the sup
port of General ZACHARY TAYLOR,
the Republic owe to him debt of gratitude
for bis brilliant military services in the lat
ter war. The battles of Palo Alto, Resaca
de la Palma, Monterey, and Buena Vista,
will till the brightest pages IN American his
tory, and long after the great leader in those
celebrated battles, having received his re-
ward on this earth, shall be gathered to his
fathers, will the proud retrospect be made
hy succeeding generations, and a just tribute
paid 70 the memory of the illusIgious hero
aud his companions in arms.

Destructive Fire in constansinopIe.
CoHsTANTINopLE. Aug. IS

CoEsTANTIYoPLE, Aug. 10.
On Wednesday, towards seven in the
evening, a most lamentable fire broke out in
Yemish lskolessi, (dried fruit bazaar sit
uated between the two bridges. The in
tensity OF the confagration acquired such
force, on account of the surrounding infiam-
mable matter, that in quarter of an hour
it had extended itself in fearful manner.
In the immediate neighborhood of the fIuit
bazaar was the Yagh Kapau, or oil depot,
the magazines and warehouses being well
stocked; on the olher side, towards the ar
senal, was an immense timber yard, the lar
gest in the city, a quarter of mile long,
one hundred feet high, and five hundred
broad. By eight O'Clock both these places
were in flames. A compact mass of ship
plug was moored opposite this spot, and the
masts of several Turkish vessels, laden with
oil, wheat, and timber, soon took fire.
The fire has consumed, according to a
detailed estimate, about twenty-fi humid
red shops and five hundred houses; about
forty of the latter were splendid palaces, be-
longing to the Shiek-ul Islam, Moustapha
Pasha, Said Pasha, Irret Pasha, Hassen Pa
sha, and others. The general loss is calcu-
lated at from G2.000,000 TO "a 600, 600 ster-
ling, but some have carried it to f5,000,-
goo. We should state it at about a2 $780,
600. To account for this great loss, it must
be understood that vast repositories of nler-
chandise were kept there, besides whole ba-
zaars of oil, fruit, wax, rice, spices, tallow,
coffee, sponges, &c., as well as the estab-
lishments of the knife-grinders, wholesale
grocers, nut-selIers, &c. In addition to
these must be noted 10 khans, mosques,
A baths, 2 public granaries, $4,000 barrels
of rice belonging to the Pasha of Egypt, a
government steam mill, and seventeen yes
sells, and among the rest an Austrian and a
Russian vessel, SC,
This fire exceeds that of Pera, two months
back, not only in the extent, but in the val
ue of the property destroyed.

CONVICTION OF Two INNOCENT Max
James Russell, Joseph Phelps, and James
Williams were few months ago convicted,
by the Philadelphia Court of Sessions for
robbing the house of Mr. Kempton. 1t APP
pears Russell was the principal in the rob
berry, and through his evidence the other
two were convicted and sent to the peniten-
hary for eight years each, although on the
trial they brought forward strong proof of
their innocence, while Russell got off with
four years Imprisonment in Jail. A few
days ago, however, he was taken dangerous
~ i'll, and sent for MIR. Kempton, to whom
he confessed he had perjured himself on the
trial, and that Phelps and Williams were
entirely innocent, two different men, who
are at large, being his accomplices. Meas
ures have already been taken for the release
of the two innocent men.
