FRANKFORT.  SEPT. 19.—The news from the East is looked upon here as favourable to the interests of civilization and of the stability of peace. The fall of Izzett which the Austrian Observer connects with the concessions to Persia and the facilitation of the trading connexion between the Porte and that empire, seems to announce a disposition to return to the new system of financial management from which the late Vizier had departed, and by so doing impeded the regeneration of the tottering State. Had this revolution in the capital taken place sooner, it might have prevented that in Servia, which is much to be regretted. The news of the flight of Prince Michael from Belgrade to the Austrian side of the Save reached this city but a few hours before the arrival of one of the principal actors in the drama—no less a personage than Prince Milosch himself. The peace which Servia has for some years now enjoyed was obnoxious to the Turkish party, par excellence, at Constantinople, whose organ Izzett Paella was. In Russia the notion of a principality enjoying independence without protection was alio an unpleasant one. Lord Palmerston thought, of course, the same, and called away Colonel Hodges, in order that the Servians might feel how much they were abandoned to their fate, when a Vizier like Izzett should take it into his head to undermine or threaten their privileges. Letters, bearing date the Bth inst., from the north of Turkey, mention the arrest of two Russian emissaries by the Turkish authorities in Bulgaria and Macedonia, who are accused of inveigling the Rayas to rebellion against the Turks. It is well known that a spirit of insubordination has for some time prevailed among the clergy of the Greek Church in Bulgaria, who have refused obedience to the Patriarch of Constantinople. The arrested party (one has escaped) can perhaps throw light on these proceedings. Will these facts at length open people's eyes on both sides of the water, or is this timely detection to pass over with a suicide or a purchased bowstring and a disavowal ? Or will the civilized States of Europe acknowledge it to be to their interest to advise the Turks to allow fair freedom, civil and religious, to the principalities and provinces on the Danube, and on these terms to guarantee to the Porte the undisputed sovereignty of lands which she can hold by no other means ? The same accounts mention that the Servians, who probably immediately felt the absurdity of the position into which they had been hurried, were negotiating with Prince Michael for his return. The King of Prussia is holding Court at his restored Castle of Stolzenfels, near Coblentz. Prince Metternich is doing the same at Johannisberg, and has a large diplomatic circle round him, including the Eng. lish and Russian Ambassadors. It is thought that, besides commercial questions, others of a delicate nature are discussed there, amongst them the marriage of the Queen of Spain.

SUICIDE AT 13RIGHTON.,—BRIGI1TON, SUNDAY, JUNE 12.—Last night a distressing suicide was committed by a lady of weak intellect, who had been residing for the benefit of her health, at 14, Crescent-place, Brighton. It appears that the unfortunate lady was Mrs. Mary Cumberland, the mother of six children, and the wife of Mr. Richard Cumberland, a gentleman said to hold a high official situation in the Tower of London. Far some time past she had been left in the care of the landlady of the house, and according to custom for protection slept between two females. Last night they retired to rest soon after ten, and about eleven o'clock Ann Leifer, one of the ser• vents, was surprised to hear the outer door violently closed s e immediately proceeded up stairs to ascertain the cause, and found the unfortunate lady had left the bed, her two attendants being fast asleep. The prslice were alarmed and a search commenced without effect, until about two o'clock this morning, when two of the coast guardsmen, named Joseph Grist and Thomas Robertson, perceiving s ,mething white washed up on the beach, went to the spot and found it to he the body of the unfortunate lady quite dead. The cause assigned for committing the rash act was an idea she had entertained for some time past, that she was about being removed to a lunatic asylum. Mr. Wilson, before his departure from town to fulfil some provincial eng gemeuts, wall give but three more evenings' entertainments at the Music Hall in Store-street— viz., this evening, and on Mondays next and following, the 20th and 27th inst. Of his se.eral performances there is none more populsr than what is called his " Charlie nights," wherein are comprised the principal sesigs written in espousal of the cause of an exiled prince, who sought to restore the fallen fortunes of his family, which will come off to-night. What are to be the subjects of his two following nights' entertainments has not at present transpired. The King of Song, the inimitable Rub:ni, is again with us. Ije makes his re-entree to-night in the Sonnamintla. He appears only for a few nights, when he takes leave of the stage.

SHIPWRECKED MARINERS' SOCIETY.—Since the establishment of this humane Institution, 1,217 widows and orphans have been aided and protected -by it, and 2,510 seamen have been provided with employment, who, but for the rality of the public, might have been confined to a workhouse or starved to death. This must be a great inducement for persons of property, and above all men connected with mercantile affairs to subscribe liberally. Our seameti are the great defenders of the country' the fisher population of England are amongst the most industrious of her sons—their lives are devoted not only to toil, but to peril of the elctremest kind ; they must pursue their calling ¢ „ all seasons and in all weathers—under all us' spects of danger and suffering—and their gahOf when successful, but scantily reward their excl.' tions. Under all circumstances they are objeet, of admiration;—wh en misfortune befall them the have a tenfold claim upon our compassion. „e trust, therefore, that the appeal now made by the friends of the shipwrecked fishermen will not be urged in vain.  Between eight and nine o'clock this morning the family of Mr. William Turnbull, of No. 27, Monte' gue-street, Portman-square, fisbrnor.ger, was throw° into alarm by the discovery being made that the cook, named Lydia Malone, a widow, aged sixty, bad attempted to commit suicide by cutting her throat with a razor. She was found lying in bed with the clothes covered over her head. A great quantity of blood had flowed from the wound, and she was removed to the Middlesex hos• pital.

THE SENTIMENT OF BUSINESS.—At Union-hall yesterday, a Mrs. Stirling was brought before Mr. Trail, charged with attempting to commit suicide. It seems that yesterday morning she hired a wherry on the Surrey side of the Thames, and while the waterman was rowing her across the river, she suddenly threw her legs over the gunwale, exclaiming, " I'll jump overboard," whereupon the man replied, " I'ray don't do such a thing as that, ma'am, or you'll get me into trouble ; besides losing ray time at the inqueAt !" The prompt attention to the interests of Num. her One evinced in this reply, is admirably characteristic of the man of business. True, the waterman intreats the lady not to drown herself ; but why ? Because he himself may be put to personal inconvenience, and probably be out of pocket by her suicide ! These are the considerations that weigh most with the aquatic philanthropist. Here the shoe pinches. Self takes the alarm— the interests of the pocket are in peril. Hence the waterman's supplications ! If the lady would but throw herse.f out of any other boat ; or if she would only assure him that he should not be summoned to attend the inquest, and thereby run the chance of losing a fare, then he would be the last person on earth to thwart her wishes ; but a plunge headforemost into the water from his own wherry, without any such assurance, is not to be thought of: Under such circumstances suicide becomes quite unjustifiable, and accordingly the tender-hearted creature enters his most strenuous protest against it. A parallel case to the above may be found in the following advertisement, which was inserted in the daily papers some two years since :—" If the young gentleman who left his home last Friday, will not return to his distracted parents, he is at l ast requested to send back the key of the teacaddy !"
