The Viceroy of Egypt has for several years intended to open the mines which are in the mountains of Cordovan, and are supposed to contain several kinds of metals. It has just been decided that a company of English miners, who have uselessly been employed in looking for coal-mines in the province of El Seerkani, shall be sent to Cordovan.  It appears that Mr. BA )(Row has withdrawn his address from the columns of the Waterford Chronicle, and that he is no longer a candidate for the representation of that county.—Dublin Morning Register Venice Preserved is preparing for representation at Covent-garden in perfect costume, both as it relates to entirely new and appropriate scenery and dresses likewise. The Messrs. GRIEVE have painted some delightful and vivid scenes, from accurate drawings taken on the spot; and Miss ABBOTT and Mr. HEAD have prepared the dresses.

Joseph Hunt, the notorious comrade of Martell, who was transported for life for the prominent part he took in the murder of Weare, and who was stated to have died on his passage to New South Wales, is still living, and in excellent health. Various other stories have been circulated about his death, which are all fabulous. He is —from the last accounts from that Colony—employed in the Bathurst district, about 100 miles from Sydney, by the Government, as a posting-messenger, the duty of which office is to convey letters and dispatches from one station to another. His average journey is about 30 miles per day, which is considered very heavy work, over a mountainous country, where his fatigues are of course of no ordinary task. We have received this information from a gentleman on whose authority we can rely, and who saw him about seven months since, when he retained all that cheerfulness for which his company was so courted when residing in his native land.
