HUSSEIN PACHA.  Hussein Pacha, the Commander-in-Chief of the Turkish Army of the Danube, is a native of Erzerum, and entered early in life into an prta of Janissaries. At the revolution of 1826 he had been already advanced to the high rank of an Aga of Janissaries. He had the supreme command of the Arsenal of Tophana. The Asiatic troops, who were called in by Sultan Mahmond, when he secretly entertained the desire of freeing himself from the rebellious Ortasi were encamped at Scutari. Topschis Bostandischis were transferred to Constantinople ; the barracks of .the Janissaries were surrounded, and the shooting of them commenced, The Sultan unfurled the Standard of the Prophet, in order to call the whole population to arms against this military ticipocracy, various reports were put into circulation, which the populace adopted easily, amongst other things, that the Janissaries detained vessels laden with corn, destined for the support of the people, to appropriate them to themselves ; a scared), or diminution in the supply of provisions, from the moment when the massacre of the mutineers had commenced, excited all classes of men in the Imperial city. When Hussein saw their cause to be lost, and ail tlie Corporation of Trades, who were generally the support of the soldiers, to be involved in murderous scenes, and the llama's (porters) as well ors the capji (engine men), and others to be discouraged, he Entered into 4 secret negotiation with the Monarch. He had the 44., arsenal at his disposal, which he might have set on fire. He was promised the rank of a Pacha of Two Tails, if he would surrender the arsenal to the Topschis, and paralyse the efforts of the Ortas, This matter was very cleverly managed. Hussein's company was overpowered, part of them were decapitated and thrown into the Bosphorus ; another part was transported to the coast of Asia. So little transpired of the secret intrigues of Hussein, that tho ash-Tchiauch, or Grand Provost, seeing the Aga quite inactive, actually lodged an accusation against him. But the fate of Haman overtook him, and the punishment which he had proposed against the Aga ( Hussein) was awarded against his accuser, and Hussein was invested with thefur pelisse of a Pacha. He conducted the organisation of the new troops. He called in officers from Ibrahim% army that were conversant with European tactics, and brought forward those Mussulinans who had acted a part in the reform planned by Selim. The Sultan appreciated the firm and severe character of his new Paella, and appointed him Commander-in-Chief of his armies on the Danube.  ANOTJIER htpnompTu !—On Monclay evening last, a lady arrived at the Stag and pheasant Inn, Leicester, by the Druce coach, on her way to London, when having complained of being ill on the road, she was shortly after her arrival delivered of a fine boy !

ATTEMPT AT MURDER.  Last night, between ten and eleven o'clock, a 'desperate attempt at mttrder wee made by w man named James a lerither4iresser, residing in the tack attic of the house next Perry's (late Brookson's) chop-house, the Three Tuns, in Fetter-lane, upon his Wife, to whom he had been married about seven years, and has a family of three children, the eldest of whom is about six yeare df age.. tt Ap• pears that tb..?: %Vitt:died itian had for some time entertained doubts of his wife's continency, which, Vve hear, were quite unfounded, :and this opinion became the cause of great rancour in the mind of the husband towards her, and tepeked quarrels between then were the eonsequence. He repeatedly vowed that he would " serve her out some day or other" which threat he last night put in execution. On Monday afternoon he sent one of the children for some gin, and mixed it with water, and then introduced some ersenic, which he gave the unfortunate woman to drink. She put it to her lips, and finding ft possessed a very unusual taste, she refused to drink aey more. The wretched man, finding his deadly object had failed, commenced beating her most unmercifully with his fists, till she was black and blue in many parts of her body, and left her almost insensible from the effects of the blows. At dinner-time yesterday she in good temper named the treatment she had experienced from him, and exhibited her bruises, which irritated him exceedingly, and in the midst of the conversation he jumped up and left the house. The poor woman, who had been charing the whole morning at Mr. Perry's house, shortly after his departure resumed her labours, although nearly incapable from the effect of the beating. About nine o'clock she went home, and there found her husband, who commenced the quarrel again. She fled into one corner of the room, and endeavoured to make for the door, at the same time calling as loud as she was able, "Murder I murder I" She was pursued by the unhappy man, who thrust a large clasp knife into her throat on the right side. The poor creature in this dreadful state ran down stairs with the blood flowing in torrents from the wound, and sought refuge in Mr. Perry's house; but the moment she entered she fainted from exhaustion. Mr. Perry gave an instant alarm, and several persons rushed up stairs, and before they gained the room in which the parties resided, they met the husband coming down, with his hands and clothes covered with blood. He was immediately secured, and carried to St. Dunstan's watch-house. The poor creature now lies in a very dangerous state. Abbott was securely hand-cuffed, and conveyed to the Compter. Previously to his leaving vile watch-house he left 55., which he requested might be laid-out for the use of his children. lie is a man about 26- years of age, very slender, and apparently in distressed circumstances,- but we are informed he was in constant work. Upon his reaching the gaol, he was placed in the infirmary. The poor woman bears a most excellent character for industry, and there does. not appear to have been the slightest cause for the jealousy of her husband.

MAYOR-And why 13id'nt be take it hiruF,elf? Mrs. Cowen—l am sure I don't know, my Lord ; nobody hindered him.  The LORD MAroit—What, you did'ut hinder him, then ? Mrs. Cowen—Not I, indeed, my Lord. When he swore so strong that he would take it off, I told him thai he might do so. (Loud Idugliter.) . _  The LOKI) he wouldn't have it? Airs. Cowen—No, he wouldn't touch it, so it was all wasted.— (Continued laughter.) The defendant said that he had received a wound in his head, and that made him savage sometimes, but at other times he was as mild as a babe.  The LORD Marort complimented the pair upon the warm affection which they had exhibited towards each other. He certainly did not wonder at the regret shown fur the waste of the laudanum when the woman was subject to such brutal treatment ; but it Was the nature of woman to bear a great deal before she would wish to see her husband the victim of his own hand. His Lordship then ordered the defendant to find bail.  CHARGE OF MURDER•--Iminediatvly after the Lord Mayor had entered the Justice-room yesterday, Thomas Kitby, the street-keeper of Bridge Ward, appeared before his Lordship, to give information relative to the supposed murder of an infant child of an Irishwoman, whose name he was not acquainted with, living in George-alley, Thames-street. Rilby stated that the child, which had been dead about four days, had several marks of injury on its skull ; it was a female infant, about fifteen months 01(1. The mother had been carrying the child in her arms about the streets, declaring to every one that her brother had killed it. The LORD MAYOR asked Kilby if he had interrogated the woman himself ?--Kilby replied in the affirmative. She declared to him that her brother had kicked the child on the head with his large brogues, and that this had occasioned its death. The child was now in the house of its grandmother, in George-alley, and he had examined its on which there were several wounds.

Mr. FORD produced his waiters, and his case was fully heard, when his application was, upon his own evidence, rejected. The demand for worsted stuff goods at present in the Halifax and Bradford markets exceeds the supply, but this is principally owing to so many of the weavers and combers having been employed in securing first the bay, and now the corn harvest.—Doncaster Gazette.

THE LATE EXECUTION.-THREATEN.  ING LETTERS.  Mr. Sizer, one of the prosecutors of the two men recently executed at Horsemonger-lane Gaol, has been excessively annoyed by a set of ruffians, who frequently pass his shop, calling out " There's the murderer." He has also received sonic threatening letters, which were calculated to inspire his family with terror for his safety. The following letter from some unknown miscreant, was received by Mr. Sizer on Tuesday evening. It was directed to " Mr. Sizer, laceman, &e.'-Newington-causeway." Underneath the superscription were these two scandalous sentences :—" The Murderer of two young Men.—l warn the customers not to go to his shop." The following is a copy of the letter :  " January 8, 18:'.)8. " Murderer—The remarks you have been the occasion of getting into the paper are false. lam no villain, but an injured woman, thirsting for revenge on the head of a blood-stained murderer—for such thou art, malignant wretch! Would no mercy touch thy unfeeling heart, nor thy wife's ? Had you but made allowance for the errors of a youHg man, he might have lived to be a blessing to his family; for he convinced the world, in his last moments, that he was truly penitent. Oh, God ! may thy just judgments and terrors overtake the murderer who was the occasion of my friend perishing on a scaffold. Remember, I am a woman, who loved the man, and from the very bottom of my soul swear to revenge his death by yours. Think not to escape me; for though I will not wilfully run into danger myself, or endanger any one else who may be near you, yet be assured the first opportunity you shall be sent to punishment; and how can you expect mercy from Heaven, when you have shown none yourself? I find that so far from wishing to save his life, you signed for his death. .Ask yourself if you have not committed actions worse than his, though, perhaps, not considered such with the world; but I shall yet live to see you and your hard and cruel wife suffer, for I hear you laugh at my threats; but remember a day will come when I shall have my revenge gratified."  The above epistle was forwarded to the Magistrates of Union Hall, by Mr. Sizer, and iinmediate steps will be taken to discover the author.

The bankers are willing, it is said, to deposit Exchequer-bills to the full amount of all the notes they may issue under the value of 51. The difficulty-, however, will be, as the circulation of small notes is to cease next year throughout England, to get over the implied pledge Ministers have given, to assimilate the circulation of both countries, and to meet the complaints which will be made by the English bankers if their competitors in Scotland are allowed advantages which they do not possess„,

PARTICULARS.  FRIDAY ArrsAYOON.—The prisoner reached Po'stead by two o'clock this morning. He was lodged at the only public-house in the village. It is art obscure tate, and does not contain more than twenty or thirty houses.— The barn where the body was found lies abcut half a mile to the left of the village. Since the examination of the body the barn has been narrowly inspected. There are some perferations of small shot, about the size of No. 7, observable in one of the walls, and there are also some spots and stains on the floor, which by many are considered to have been produced by blood. It is said, that the prisoner was seen going in a direction from the barn about four hours after the time when the assignation was to have taken place, with a pickaxe on hie shoulder. It is also said that proof will be tendered that he borrowed a spade on the same day. The witnesses speak to the precise day, from the fact of its having been the second day of the Polstead Fair. At six o'clock in the evening the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against William Corder. The unhappy young man is only twenty-four years old. He was brought into the room to hear the depositions read, and was in so melancholy a state of bodily and mental prostration, as to appear wholly unconscious of what was going on. From the evidence of the surgeon, it would appear the murder had been effected with a sharp instrument plunged through the orbit if the eye into the brain. It was proved the prisoner was possessed_ of a small sword that might inflict such a wound, and that he had taken it to Hadleigh and had it ground to a fine point a few days previous to the presumed day of the murder. A reticule which the deceased had with her on the day of her elopement, was found in the house of the prisoner at Ealing.

DONCASTER, TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 1828.—1 n consequence of information received in this place, Edmund Beckett Denison, Esq., left here early on Friday morning, for the neighbourhood of Gainsborough. On 'his return on Saturday night, two constables were despatched" to the house of Wm. Dyon, to again- take him and his son to Bawtry, where they are in custody at the Crown Inn, each attended by a constable in separate rooms. Nothing however is made public respecting this last information. The prisoners will be examined on Wednesday. These proceedings have once more changed the opinion of most persons here, and now strong suspicion falls on the Dyons; as it is not supposed they would be again taken, without sufficient reason. We cannot imagine•how this can be, as the shoes of the murderers were not imagined to be capable of going on to the feet of either of the Dyons. Doncaster, March 12, 1828. Although few particulars have come to our knowledge, respecting the cause of Dyon and his son being again taken into custody, you will shudder with horror at what I have to inform you. William Dyon, after being acquitted in the opinion of his examiners, went last week to Gainsborough, where he got drunk, and said he had humbugged the Magistrates, and many similar things which, most likely, with much more information that is not made public yet, was the cause of their being sent for to Bawtry. The deceased, Mr. Dyon, had a farm at Partridge-hill, about a mile from his residence; he had a farmer, who lives in the house at Partridge-, hill, and who was recommend there by William Dyon • he is a native of Lincolnshire. I cannot say whether this man was itspected-oi; not; but lam informed, on Etches, the constable, going to hi; house, he observed great confusion in the man, and immediately put on handcuffs, using such language as was proper to a person who showed =rich symptoms of a guilty knowledge. The man, in consequence, confessed, that Wm. Dyon and his son had been there the evening of the murder, and had obtained a gun from him, and left it on their return. Bawtry was like a fair yesterday. This day the Magistrates meet to examine the prisoners. There seems to be little doubt but they will pays through here in irons, on their way to York. This is likely to prove the most cruel, as well as unnatural murder, ever committed, I may say, in this nation. It was none at a time when it was hoped others would have borne the blame, and seems to have been long intended, from the precautions used. It appears that many observations were made at the funeral. Some who had heard the brother named as likely to be the person, marked his conduct, and in their own minds acquitted him. Others were of a different opinion; so that it appears his manner did not wear the appearance of innocence through the day, but only put it on to those he thought proper. It was also thought strange that the brother did not come to Mr. Dyon's till the -time of the funeral, though he was sent for on Sunday morning ; as he should have been one of the first to assist in discovering the murderer of his brother.
