Greece. The accounts from Greece represent the country as being overrun by robbers. Assassinations were frequent. M_ Petsali had been murdered in front of his own house, and the dwelling of the Receiver General had been broken into and plundered. A large booty—47,000 drachmas of the public money— was carried off by the rase: Tahit ‘There is likely to be more trouble at Tahiti. The French having refused to permit the English frigate Talbot to communicate with the shore, unless her commander would consent to salute, not only the French flag, but the flag of the protectorate which the French have established in that island, the real object being, no doubt, to prevent General Miller, the English Consul General for the islands of the Pacific, who was on board the frigate, from landing to assume his consular duties. Admiral Seymour was expected to proceed from Callao to Tahiti in the Collingwood, of 80 guns, to demand an expl ination of this unfriendly act on the part of the French au- thorities. Algert The Moniteur Algerien of the 20th ult. annouuces, thet Mirshal Bugeaud embarked for Dellys on the 23ed, to take the command of the expedition direct ed agaiast Bon Salem — That journal states, that the disarming of the inhabitants ot the Oaareasenis and Dahara was still proceeding, but that many arms, some ot which are of the best deseriprion, had not yetbeen surrendered No less than 7,000 mus- kets fit for service had been removed to Urieans- ville, and 1,500 more had been broken. Hadj-Hi- met, the Aga ot the Ouarensenis appointed by the French, on returning from the marriage of his son (witha ne woman of Masouns), was unexpected- ly attacked in the defile of Meran by a purty of Ibeahs, who killed the Aga and 12 of his followers, wounded 25, and dispersed the remainder. A de- tachment of 30 French spahis, given to the Aga by Colonel St. Arnaud as an escort of honour, and who were at the rear of the column, charged the enemy and attempted to recover the body of the Aga, but being overpowered by numbers, they retired, jeav- ing five of their body on the field and bringing off 13 wounded. The young bride and several other wo- men, with the whole of the baggage, fell into the hands of the assailants. The loeahs were at_ all times a turbulent race, and in constant revolt against the Turks, large caves, into which they sought re- fuge on the approach of the latter, securing them impunity. Marshal Bugeaud, on being informed of their treachery, had decreed the transportation of the tribe to some distant part of the regency, and the confiscation of their territory. Colonel Pelissier embarked for Dellys on the 2lsi, and was to accom- pany Marshal Bugeaud in his expedition. _The massacre of which the Arabs have been the victims in the cave of Dahra has been freely com- mented on in the French and British press, and its atrocity has been the subject of just and general con- demnation. Marshal Soult has travelled out of his way to throw the shield of his official character round the man-roasting Colonel Pelissier, under men, expressly fitted out for that , and that failing in success, there were people in Hong Kong who intended capturing the Ariel, with the clipper Celestial. At daylight next morning Captain Mac- farlune forced open the door of his cabin, and went on deck; the ship’s head was then SW * W. At 8, breakfast was sent into his cabin, the Ariel then ronning before a fine NE wind. At 10 o'clock he sent for the mate, and requested that they would give him the long boat, or put him on board a junk ; this was refused, the mate sayiog that he (the Cap- tam) would get to Hong Kong too soon for them.— They, however,promised to put him on board a junk at nightfall; also that he would give up all his per- sonal property. Atnoon the mate again came into the Captain’s cabin, telling him to make himself combortable uatil the vessel got to Singapore ; he ex- pressed his determination to throw the treasure oyer- board if pursued; the assurance that the Captain's life hh be spared was again renewed In the af- ternoon the Captain’s Chinese servant, who was al- lowed to go on deck, told him that the Ma- rillamen were not in the plot, aud that they meditated rising upon the mate and gunner, and ‘gain restoring the vessel to his command. About teu o’elock they had mutured their plans, and al- though without other arms than the rammers of the znns and their Koives, they attacked the mutineers, at the same tine enabling the Captain to get on deck through » window, and arming him with the cook’s axe. The fight was soon over, the mate vemg knocked down with a rammer, and also cut with the knives ; the gunner took refuge in the cabin, raising the hatch which covered the maga- zine, and threatened to blow up the ship Capsain Macfarlane had by this ume got possession of a fowling piece, one burrel of which was loaded; with it he fired and wounded the gunner in the thigh — he poor wretch still cried out tor merey, but still threatened to blow up the ship. A lasso (or noose) was got ready and thrown over his head, with which the crew hauled him on deck and secured him. Tue mate died of his wounds, The gunner was taken to Hong Kong, and committed for an after an May examination before the acting Marine Magistrate. (tis pleasing to state that, after the afiray was over, and the ship's cour: gain shaped for Hong Kong, Captain Macfarlane mustered the crew, an: offered up prayers and thanksgiving for their delive- rance from imminent danger. The whole affair is a very sad, though a remark- able one. Mr. Wilkinson, the ring-leader, was a young man with the fairest prospects before him; his employment was, and is, the best in the merchant service, and had he behaved himselt, would, in all probability, in a few years, have led to a competency tor life. A singular movement has commenced in Calcut- ta among the Hindoos, arising, as 1s alleged, trom the over-zeal of some missionaries and others, in making converts of young be and girls. [n con- sequence of this, a meeting had been held by the Hindoo community, which was numerously attend- ed, and at which it was resolved to establish an whose supervision the baking and stewing of hun- dreds of human beings was carried on. The affair isa sad stain on the glory of the French arms, and impairs the hitherto high character ot their soldiery. Turkey, SONSTANTINOPLE, July 17.—CouLision oF THE SrEAMERS.—Loss of one hundred and thirty-five ives.—On the night of the Ith instant, on the Black Sea, about 40 miles east of the Bosphorus, a most dreadful catastrophe took place. Two Turkish steamers, the one coming trom, and the other go- ing to Trebizond, came into a sudden collision, and oae ot them went down with the greater part of the crew and passengers. The vessels were the Scutari, commanded by Mr. Dubbing, and the Medjehrai Tidjahret, commanded by Mr. Lambert. The vessels parted, the Medjehrai Tidjahret drop- ped about a mile qptern, and in the course of less than a quarter of an hour it was found she was sinking rapidly. The Scutari, which had got but slight damage, then went to her help, but it was too late. Very tew, comparatively, could be saved About seventy, however, by swimming, and cling- ing to spars, reached the Scutari, where they clus- tered round the paddle-boxes until they were taken in. Captain Lambert and an engineer were picked up by a boat of the Scutari. Allthe rest, one hun- dred and thirty-five souls, perished. Their agony was a short one, but it was terrifi As the Scutari approached the wreck she heeled over, (the people on the deck, hke wild maniacs, were visible in moonlight) and as the sea sucked her down—as the vortex of waters she formed in sinking almost made the Scutari spin round with the motion—there arose a scream of utter horror—a last seream !—which those who heard will never forget , But more impressive still was the passive resigna- tion of the Turks; they sat motionless muttering their prayers; neither by cry nor gesture did they amanifest any consternation! In passive silence— amid the shrieks of despair of Christians—the fatal- ists met their frightful doom. From the first shock to the sinking of the vessel not more than halt an hour elapsed. ‘The captains of the two vessels, you will see by their names, were English; the engineers were also English. Advices from Beyrout bearing date the 12th of July announce that the affairs of the Lebanon were more satisfactory ; hostilities had ceased ; and al- though some partial murders bore witness to the deep animosity which exists between the Druses and Maronites, nevertheless it was expected that an arrangement would become necessary, suitable to the present state of that country. The unanimity ofthe five Powers at Constantinople, and the positive anc precise instructions of the Porte, had produced be- neficial results. The conduct of the Turkish gov- ernors and agents, whose apathy had much encour aged the Druses in their attempts, had become en tirely changed The Turkish Governor had mad+ a certain display of kindteelings towards the Chris- tians ; and it was asserted that from his exampl+ Hassib Pusha and Hussein-bey, who commanded the Mitin district, had granted protection to the Maronites. & . , Egypt. ‘ Our Alexandria letter of the 19th ult, mentions that the Duke de Monpensier reached Cairo, et + o’clock in the evening of the 9h. Early in the morning of that day Ibrahim Pasha, at the head o! several squadrons of regular cavalry, rode out to meet him. Ibrahim Pasha met the Prince on hir landing, and conducted him to a splendid carriage drawn by six horses. Sixteen other carriages, oc cupied by the dignitaries of the State followed, and the procession was opened by all the chiaous and cavasses ot the court.—London Times. India and China, The Overland Mail from India and China reached London on the 30th ult They were brought to Malta by the Iberia, and the dates are respectively, from Bombay to the 20th June, Calcutta 91h June, Madras Ith June, and from China to the 6th May. The cholera has been very prevalent in Bombey and Poonah, and has raged in Lahore fearfully. The political news is not of importance. The Governor-General remained at Calcutta, but was expected to move in October to the north-west pro- vinces, to reduce the Sikhs to order. From China *we learn that a riot had taken place at Victoria—it had been suppressed without difticulty. The troops had been withdrawn from Kolungson, in accord- ance with the terms of our treaty, and the Chinese taken possession. The Bembay market had a favorable appearance for imports. [From the Hong Kong Register.) . Mutiny in rae Curvese Seas.—The recent, and for a time successful attempt of the mate and gunner of the schooner Ariel to take possession of the ves- sel, with her valuable freight of specie, is the cause of much astonishmeut. The particulars of this Bie affair we have received trom the very best authority. The Ariel left Amoy, bound for Hon, Kong, with abont 10,000 dollars in specie on boar: Captain Macfarlane being indisposed, and requiring to be on deck during a great part of the night, went below to his cabin for a short rest. At half-past eight o'clock he was disturbed by the voice of the chief officer, Mr. Wilkinson, who shouted in an unusual tone, “* Captain Macfarlane, you are wanted on deck.” Captain Macfarlane obeyed the eum- mons; upon getting on deck the companion was closed by the mate and gunner,who were each armed with a brace of pistols. They told the Captain that it wastheir wish, and that of the crew, that he should take the vessel to Siagapore,and that they had altered the course from south-west to south. ‘They proposed he should join them, offered hima large share of the money on board, stating that from the Ariel’s sailing qualities they could commit piracy with little risk ot being captured. Though his life was at stake, the captain refused to join them. He pointed out to them the heinous crime which they were commit- ting, and the fearful penalty they would incur; he also promised that they should be forgiven,provided they gave up the attempt; but they were obdurate and resolved to carry out their villanous plans. The in’s life, stating mate said he would pare the ca, cabin he had intended to that while asleep in shoot him, and even pointed a pistol down the aky- ut could not bring himself to light for the purpose, commit such a cowardly action as to shoot a man asleep. He also stated that any attempt at rescuing the vessel would be certain death, as the crew (Ma- nillamen) had all joined himself and the gunner, who, with the captain and one lad, were the only Europeans on board. After some conver- sation they promised to land the captain, also to spare the lives of his attendants, though they said they would be compelled to kill some (94 ‘were on board for their own safety. At 10 o’cloc hatch was taken off, and it was purposed to confine Captain Macfarlane in the hole ; he requested that they would give him his own cabin, and after some hesitation, they agreed to make that his prison. P; vious to going below, the Captain made another tempt to dissuade them, but it was of no avail. They said they had made up their minds to the Step they taken for some time, and only awaited a favora- ble opportunity. They also mentioned that others k the main in Hong Kong it in cony ti the Atel that a Wuropean vo then ‘close ‘at in @ Lorohe having 9 orew of forty educational institution free from all possibility of missionary influence. The matter had been taken up with so much spirit and determination that it was expected the design would be immediatel carried into execution. It was to be a free school, and one thousand rupees per month assigned for its support. According to one statement, Senl College, recently established by Baboo Mooty Lal! Seal, was to be converted forthwith into a free college, on a scale equal to the education of one thousand boys. Some allowance must be made for a people who see their children become Christians almost be- fore they have been considered capable of taking care of themselves, and who, in thus abandoning the religion of their fathers, become also oucasts of society. There may be great zeal in this, but it is not accompanied, we fear, by much discretion. Instead of letting education produce its own fruit, it is forcing it prematurely. ‘ There pro- bably was a time,” observes the Calcutta Stark, ‘and that not long past, when, under similar porvo- cation, instead of founding a school of their own, the natives would have formed a coalition to strike at the very existence of conversion establishments, by beggaring them of pupils; and there stop- ped. ow, however, proving what we have said, that they fear nothing to their creed from enlightening the mind, they decide on estab- lishing an institution, to replace the one of which they have felt themselves deprived. It is education, and education alone, that will shake all idols down ; and though the Hindoo who subscribes to this new endowment does not believe it, yet if the establish- ment so long survive, his grand-children and great- grand-children will see fully as many and as sincere converts from its walls as from the Free Church in- stitution, or any other institution, where there is an under-current of religious tutoring and persuasion, repugnant to the present temper of the native mind. But this very fearlessness of education 1s what com- mands our respect, since it 1s evidence of sincerity, and should make us careful how we trifle with an ally who must and will fight our battle in the end. Any educational institution that alarms the pre- judices of the people is not only nota gain, but it gives a heavy blow and great discouragement to the cause of national improvement.” Sporting.

Lablache had a benefit on the 24th of July, at the italian Opera in London Taglioni took her farewell benefit on the 31st ult, at Her Majesty’s Theatre. Mademoiselle Plessy has created some agitation in the Parisian theatrical world. The fair actress, itseems, after leaving England, was missing, and aobody knew what was become of her. At i th it was found that, in place of returning at the end of her congé, to resume her place at the Theatre Frangaus, she had gone to St Petersburg, leaving a hintus valdé deflendus in the personnel of the theatre. There is some talk of applying to the Czar to exer- cise his autocratic authority by sending the fair de- serter back toher post. In the meantime, the dividing her parts among the other actresses of the company. Such of the theatresas remain open do not present a vestige of novelty. At the Haymarket, the hool for Grown Children” continues to be per- ned, to the exclusion, we humbly think, ot beuer things. But if it draws audiences, good and well. The withdrawal of Mr. Charles Matthews and Ma- dame Vestris from the theatre has been foliowed (as our readers will see in another place) by pro- ceedings in the Vice Chancellor’s Court. Mr. Matthews has endeavored to Payne the perform- ance of the farce of ‘‘Used Up,” on the ground of his being really the author (instead of Mr. Bourcieault) of the adaptation from the French ; but he has failed to obtain an injunction, and the piece continues to be performed. At Sad- ler’s Wells, Mr. Phelps and Mrs. Warner con- tinue, steadily and successfully, their course of “the legitimate drama.” This remote little theatre is now the place, of all others, where a lover of the classical stage can enjoy a high intellectual enter- tainment after the fashion of “the olden time.” The encouragement given to their undertaking is equally creditable to themselves and the public— creditable to their own faith in the public taste and intelligence, and to the public in not having belied the trust placed in them. This experiment has con- firmed the opinion we have always entertained, that, whatever may be the causes of the decline of the drama, they must be sought elsewhere than in the alleged vitiation of the public taste. _Atthe annual meeting of the London Philharmo- nic Society on Monday last, Messrs. Anderson,Be n- nett, Calkin, Griésbach, Howell, Lucas, and Potter, were chosen directors for the ensuing year. Though the Italian Opera is still open, and, it is said, will remain Maye for three weeks to come, yet the London musical season may be said to be over. The concerts have ceased; and the tuneful tribe, who Sy feed to our shores during the summer months, have taken wing for other regions. Seve- ral of them, however, prolong their stay among us. Two vocal parties have been formed to make the tour of the provinces during the autumn, ‘The one consists of Madame Rossi Caccia, M’dlle,Brambil- la, and Signors Moriana, Gallinari, and Puzzi. The other includes Madame Castellan, Miss Dolby, and Signors Fornasari and Brizzi. Staudigl is gone to assist at the Beethoven commemoration at Bonn, but returns to the Norwich Festival. Madame Dulcken is also gone to Bonn. Leopold de Meyer, the celebrated jnanist, has been pettortoidg during the present week at the Haymarket Theatre. He is about to set out for the United States. Jullien, with a select orchestra, is giving concerts in the provin- ces. Camillo Sivori is engaged to perform solos at each concert. Astiey’s.—A splendid spectacle, called the “‘Con- quest of Scinde, or the Siege of Hyderabad,” was produced at this theatre on Monday last, with the greatest success. Mr. Mountain, formerly leader of the band at Co- vent Garden Theatre for many years, died on the 14th ult., aged 78. He survived Mrs. Mountain. once a very popular singer, four years, and belonged to the Philharmonic Band until a few seasons back. He was an excellent performer both on the violin and the tenor.

Balfe’s pleasing opera of the “ Bohemian Girl,” has been translated into German, and will speedily be produced at the Theatre Ander Weine, at Vienna. The musical society uf Wurzburgh, so well knowa throughout the professice, by the name of the Harmonic, will give three monstre, concerts on the 4th, 5th, and 6th of August, at which 1,300 vocalists and 700 instrumentalists will assist. Upon a de- putation waiting upon the King of Bavaria, his mnjority consented to honor the performances wtth his presence. _ A theatre in the open air has been erected on a little island on the Rhine, near Cologne, which is well attended when the weather proves favorable. Another version of ‘‘ Mrs. Caudle’s Curtain Lec” tures,” was produced aay 26, at the Haymarket Theatre, with no very marked success. Mrs. Clif tord was an admirable representative of the never- ending, still beginning Mrs. Caudle, and Buckstone’s Caudle, was carefully conceived, and rife with in- imitable drollery. ‘olbeeque, adieu to Charles Mathews and Madam Vestris refused to perform at the Hay Market Theatre on the night of the 2ist ult.

Since his arrival he has been confined to his room by severe thongh not dangerous 1llness. Exouisa Turarricats iy Germany.—The Ham- burg Nachrichten, just received, speaks in very fa- vorable terms of the English company of comedians who, under the management of Mr. Davenport, are now performing in that city. Sheridan Knowles’ Hunchback had given great satisfaction to a Ger- man audience, who appear to have been quite cap- tivated by the appearance and theatrical talents of Miss Davenport. A considerable profit is aniteipa- ted for this speculation, and the whole reception of the company forms a striking exception to that which was experienced a short time ago by another Thespian corps, from the par excellence, polite au- dience of Paris } The celebrated songstress Jenny Lind, who was preparing to return to Bertin, where her engage- ment called her betore the 8th of August, has been attacked with a nervous malady which has elicited considerable alarm. Upon the unanimous advice of her physicians the young artiste will instantly de- part to the mineral springs of Porta, in the province of Nerike, in Sweden. Germany --Allis anxiety bustle, and preparation at Bonn for the approaching féte in honor of the inaugu- ralion of the statue of Beethoven. The facades of all the houses are to be covered with garlands and tapes- try. Each evening therewill be a general illumination; even the steeples of the churches wilt be decorate: with festoons of coloured glass, and all the public offices will be ornamented with transparancies anal- ogous to the occasion ; fireworks will be exhibited at the several points of the che and especially the terrace of the Observatory. The number of stran- gers whoare to assist at the féte is already so great, that all the disposable furnished apartments in the various hotels and in private houses are let. Sums reaching to two gold fredericks per day have been offered for the smallest rooms; the windows of houses on the Place de Cathedral, where the inau- guration takes place, have been let at eleven golden fredericks each. Notwithstanding the influx of strangers no inconvenience will be caused, as the railroad trains to Cologne will start each night of the féte from Bonn every half hour. All the pic- uresque points of the landscape around Bonn are to be illuminated. Traty.—At the present moment the Italian musi- cal world isin universal movement. This is the time, now that most of the principal theatres are closed, for forming new engagements and determin- ing on the performanees of the coming season. The projects of La Scala we have already noticed in our weekly record. This great theatre will ere long open for the autumn. The prospects of the other great Italian theatres are not determined upon. The following, however, is the troupe engaged for the Teatro Valle at Rome : Prime donne, Carmela Marziali, Angiolina Zoja, and Enrichetta Cherubini; first tenors, Lodovico Graziani and Adelindo Vietti; first basso, Gaetano Bastogi ; first bassi comici, Carlo Cambizgio, Guiseppe Torri, and Valentin Carmiti; seconda donna, Teresa Srinasacchi Avogrado ; se- cond tenor, Vincenzo Gobetti; and second basso, Mr. and Miss Vandenhoff concluded a very suc- cessful engagement on the 24th ult., at the Theatre Royal, Liverpool, where they played in Antigone twelve nights. Camillo Sivori, the eminent violinist, has left London for Boulogne, Dunkirk, &c., where he will give concerts. It is rumored that Madame Vestris is about to be- come the lessee of the Surry theatre, and that Mr. and Mrs. Honner go to America. Luigi Taffanelli. ‘Froxencr.—Teatro Auta Perceria.—Natalie Fitzjames, the danseuse who has for some time les been performing at this theatre, took her benefit a few nights ago in the midst ef a general furor of enthusiasm.

Mr. Balfe does not intend to pay England a visit next season, being fully aaced | in composing ope- ras for the French and German theatres. Verdi’s opera J Lombardi is in active preparation atall the principal lyric theatres. The translation of this admirable work bears the title of Les Croi- sades, ow les Lombards en Orient. There are four important réle in the Lombardt, a high soprano, a tenor, a barytone, and a bass; the chorusses are not mere accessories, but exert a positive influence on the dramatic interest. There are also three pas de danse incidental to the opera. At the Opera Comique rehearsalshave taken place of Scribe and Labbarre’s opera of the Menetrier. The partition has excited the greatest enthusiasm among the artists, and the poem is spoken of as being equal to any that have emanated from the pro- lific pen of Scribe. Carlotta Grisi, laden with the floral honors she had gathered at her Majesty’s Theatre, made her re- entry in her original character of the Giselle. Her reception was enthusiastic, and a monster boquet greeted her appearance—a custom, by the by, which would be more honored in the breach than the ob- servance ; for, independently of its silliness, it ir attended with exceeding danger to the object it is intended to gratify. M Leorotp De Meyer.—The Sundayd'imes of August 3, says, M. Leopold de Meyer, the celebra- ted German pianist, made his first appearance on the English stage at the Haymarket Theatre, for th- benefit of Miss Julia Bennett, about a fortnigh: since, when his performance excited so much ad- miration, that he was engaged by the manager fo: a few nights, and on last Monday evening he per- formed, after the comedy, an “Introduction and Airs Russe,” composed and arranged by himself, on the pianoforte, in a style so brilliant and novel, as tv elicit the most rapturous applause trom a crowdec audience. A general call being made for an encore. M. Meyer played a fantasia upon another theme, which ‘was, if possible, more successful than the Bite No performer that we have ever heard, not even Liszt or Thalberg, surpasses M. Meyer in brilliancy and rapidity of execution. He aims not at the expression of musical sentiment: the piano, beneath his hands, is a totally different instrument from that which we are accustomed to hear in the drawing room or the boudoir, giving forth delicious warblings at the light touch of fairy fingers; with him it 1s a full orchestra, pouring a flood of rich modulated harmony, from the most delicate silvery tones, to the grand rolling diapason of the organ ; it is, indeed, most wonderful to hear the volume of sound that M. Meyer can produce from the piano. It is the ne plus wtra of combined dexterity and ge- nius in the practical art of music. This artist has been engaged by Mr. John Povey, the theatrical agent of America, to give a series of performances at the Park Theatre, New York, and the principal cities of the United States. M. De Meyer will take his departure from England next month. Vavpevitte.—* L’Homme etla Mode” is the title of a little piece in two acts,jjust brought out in Paris, but which, not less from the skillful arrangement of the one or two incidents of which it is made up, than from the manner in which the three principal roles are filled, runs a fair chance of long holding a place in the acting repertory of this house. Parais Roya.—A trifle of little pretensions, un- der the title of ?Ecole Buissonnére, is the latest no- velty at this little theatre, in which M’lle Irma made her début, and made a very favorable impression. VanteTEs.—A one act piece, entitled Le Premier Souper de Lows XV., gay and unsubstantial as a dream, has been received here with favor, though, only destined probably to a brief existence. the young monarch, about to become a grave and sober mari, being somewhere about his fifteenth year, 18 resolved upon giving a pleasant souper to his young court; but being threatened with an interruption to the féte by his governors, he avails himeelf of a par- cel ot lettres de cachet, which the Minister Dubois has left behind on the table, and packs the intruders in a body off to the Bastile, after which the supper goes off as pleasanily as possible. M. Auber, the celebrated composer, who has been so dangerously ill as to create much alarm among his friends and every lover of the “art divine,” is considerably better. There is some rumor of the return of Mile.

Capuchon Scarfs are much in vogue for the present month, as being both warm and hght for travelling, poy ing visits to the baths, &c. They are simply mado of plain cashmere, blue or red, and encircled with a border of velvet of the same color, put on plain, and attached at the throat with a cord or tassel. Caps are still formed very petit, and are worn very backward on the head, of around shape, and made of plain light tullies, the front very small, descending mod- erately low at the ears, and lined with taffetas ribbon; the contrast formed by this light style of front (although lined.) with the diaphane crown, having a very pretty effect. —White, blue, and pink, are the most pre- dominating colors for carriage dresses. These dresses are made half high, and veiled by a splendid canezout of English applioye lace. Capotes are still made in very light, materials, such as tulle, crépe, &c.; the prettiest are decidedly those which are fulled, and each circle of which is decorated and di- vided with a small wreath of flowers. those made in organdie are mostly preferred, lined with pink or blue gauze, and trimmed with a handsome rib- bon simply crossed, and a violette of tulle the same color as the lining of the capote. For a morning, we have re- marked several very elegant ones made of lilac crépe, and ornamented with a beautiful bunch of green grapos acing tons.

Repixcotxs —For dinner or evening dress the most elegant are those made in white silk, opening up the tront, and showing an under skirt of clear muslin, trim- med up the fronts with five rows of lace, or five or seven rows of narrow plain ribbon put on quite flat, these re- dingotes are tied on at the waist with a broad silk ribbon. vlain or fringed, and of some light color; the ends of the sash just reaching as low as the knee. ‘The backs 0) the corsages are slightly fulled, and the fronts fastened with pearl or marcassites buttons; sometimes we see these buttons descending as low as the edge of the skirt Ficnus—Les fichus Gertrude enjoy an immense suc cess amungst our éegantés; having a high collar ed and trimmed with three rows ot Valenciennes lace put on very low and continuing down the front, formin, a jabot and placed upon a chemisette d tres petit plus(small plaited) ; the rows of lace being montée upon an inlet lined with a colored ribbon, but without any neud; the fichu is fastened down the front with a row of buttons pareil to those on the skirt. Matensacs.—The texture of materials vary according to the style of dress for which it is intended ; for instance wehave the raffetas glact.foulards, unbleached cambrics, muslins of every description, those elegant organdies and gauzes, and others too numerous to enumerate. Hats.—Several very delicate looking hats have lately appeared made of crépe and entirely covered with lace intermixed with very pretty foliage 5 but for, young Ia- dies, trimmed solely with net; others in pink or azure blue are ornamented with the perriwinkle primrose, or cowslips, the golden broom, or the blue hyacinths, are also very becoming when trimmed round the edge of tne brim with biais or folds of pink tulle, and upon the side of the crown, with a bouquet of pink marabouts.

Lonpon Monky Mankev, Aug 4.—The Consol market has been almost neglected, and the English Funds have fered under great depression since our last publica- cation: this is owing partly to the threatening aspect of the weather, and consequent unfavorable anticipatiens respecting the harvest, but chiefly because the railway mania which now prevails has diverted all the spare ca- pital inthe country into its channel, and thus left the more solid securities of the country neglected, Consols being down to 98} to 984, and for the Account, 99 to 3; Bank Stock 210 to 211; Exchequer Bills 51 to 453 prem India Steck 274 to 276; Three per Cent Reduced 99 to 4; ‘Three-and-a-Quarter 102 to}; Long Annuities 11 7-16; and India Bonds 67s t prem.

A decline of about 2 per cent occurred in Bra- zilian Bonds, which were offered on Friday at 9, caused by the announcement of the Brazilian Minister's protest against the new Slave trade Act.

Indigo.—Since the termination of the quarterly sale of East India a good demand has been experienced from ex- orters and the home trade, in all 400 chests of various jescriptions have been disposed of at the rates previous- ly established, but not above. Mudras and Kurpah have fetched 2s to 2s 94. The home and export deliveries this season are 17, chests, against 17,046 in 1844. The stock is 4940 chests more than last season, but prices are lower than for many years. ‘ Tallow.—Prices have ruled firm for Russian on the spot this week, anda good demand has been experienced from the town and country trade. P. Y. Candle of fine quality has been fetching 39s 6d to 40s per cwt; the mod- erate rates cause the trade generally to be more iuclined to getinto stock. An increased desire has been shown to purchase for forward delivery, and an advance of 3d to Gd per cwt. has occurred; numerous contracts have been entered into at 40s 6d to 40s 9d_per cwt for the last three months of the year. In American and New South Wales the transactions are upona more extended scale, but at present we cannot quote any advance in the value; the supply 1s still diminishing. Town Tallow has been in excellent request at 39s to 40s 6d per cwt. Onthe ist instant New South Wales Tallow sold at 388 to 40s 6d; South American 36s to 38s #d; East India 4ls to 4s 6d per cwt. Whalebone.—The transactions in Whalebone have been but trifling since the 26th ult. Prices now exhibit a down- ward tendency. The latest sales comprise 5 tons British Southern at £218 to £230, and 3 tons Northwest Fishing taken in at £280 to £299 per ton. Livenroot Provision Marxet, August 4.—The sales of Beef during the month have been somewhat large than in the preceding one, but lower prices have been enerally accepted in order to tecuresales, the principal Holders finding their trade much. i a with in con- sequence of the dealers being able to import from New York and New Orleans at much lower rates than have been current here. same remark applies to Pork, the late imports of which have also principally been o: dealers’ account, and at a luwer cost than our quoted rates. The present tendency of our market is down. wards. Should the quantity of Beef and Pork req sired for the service of the Government be large—the amount of which will be declared in a few d: it would have some beneficial influence on our market, by giving more confidence to buyers, but higher prices need not 1. culated on. In Cheese there have been no transaction: of importance from want of stock -the only the market having been some old out of co} some early made new, very deficient in qu lish Cheese, of last years make, is very scar bringing higher rates; in consequence of which there will be a quick sale for any prime firm parcels of Amer- ican that may arrive during the month, in good order.— Present rates cannot, however be main/ained for general qualities. In the ‘course of the present month a motion msde in Parliament, that the duties or Butter and Cheese should ‘be repealed, was re. jected by a lerge majority. As the ‘opposition, however, on the part of the government was sole- ly on financial grounds, and because the fiscal arrange. ments for the year had been completed—no justification having been offered tor these duties on the plea of pro- tection to British Agriculturists—there seems a strong probability that another session will not pass over withi- out analteration being made. The prospect of such a change will tend to keep our markets liberally suppliew with English Cheese inthe meantime, as the farmers, fearing the increased competition arising from the more extensive introduction of foreign imports, will be dis posed to bring their dairies to market as early as possi ble. Shippers may therefore reckon with certainty on a low range of prices in the English markets. Grease But- ter continues to have a free sale on arrival at our quo- tations. Lard is in very limited supply, our market being now quite bare of fine qualities in kegs, which would bring some advance on our late quotations, In barrels the best qualities command 40s to 42s and inferior 38s to 308 Imports of North American produce, from Ist to 3lst of July, 1845, inclusive.-From United States: beef, 854 tierces 600 barrels ; pork, 960 barrels ; tallo 85 hhds 40 barrels; lard, 200 barrels; butter, 416 casks; as , 37 pot; hides, 1712, Mrom Canada: butter, 153 casks; ashes, 2013 pot, 700 pearl; flour, 19,727 barrels.

Hayne, August 1—Cotton—The situation of our mar- ket during the last se’nnight, forms a striking contrast with that of the preceding week, as regards the amount of business transacted, the great animation that had pre- dominated, inthe demand since the commencement o! the month, and the speculative spirit that had been dis- played, have entirely disappeared for the present, anc buyers fiom the trade having taken merely sufficient to supply their most urgent necessities, the operations hi ‘as a natural consequence, been on a restricted scale within the last eight days.

Loxpon, August 4.—At this morning’s market there was a larger display of Wheat, by land carriage samples from the home counties than on any previous occasion for some weeks past. ‘The quentity of Wheat on sal proved more than suffiaient to satisfy the demand this morning ; at the commencement of business very high terms were asked, but the millers acting with caution, the sales effected were at prices very little, if any, high- er than those current on this day se’nnight. ‘The traus- actions in free foreign Wh ere rather restricted, and its value remained mus me as before ; the turn, ver, Was rather against the buyer. There was less inclination to enter into speculative investments in bond- ed Wheat thanat the close of last week, but the advance of 2s to 3s per qr. them established, was well maintained. Flour moved off steadily, at the recent enhancement. The trade in Oats was by no means lively, the continued liberal arrivals, and the fact that the dealers have lately got well into stock, causing the demand t. be languid ; tine Corn, however, was not cheaper, and even the ordi- nary rorts can barely be quoted 6d per qr. lower. “In Seeds there was not much doing, and prices remained much the same as before. {From the Mark-lano Express, July 28.)

From Scotland the accounts relative to the appearance of the growing crops, are, onthe whole, of a more favorable nature, than, from the character of the weather, might have been expected; but, owing to the rise in the youthern markets, enhanced terms were demanded and obtained for Wh it Edinburgh, Glasgow, and some of the other leadmg towns.

We do not, of course, understand what the terms are. While we would steadily discountenance any infraction of the law, or any resistance to the constituted authorities, we would urge that the whole question b [ges by the proprietors on the most liberal and equitable footing. ‘The undersigned, proprietors of tracts of land in the f Greene, Ulster, Sullivan, Otsego, Schoharie, Columbia, Dutchess and Dela: an impression continues to ¢: occupants and others, that they axe unwill: the tenures of their leased ad. to fee, take this mode of announcing thect readiness to dis. pose of all their lands im those counties on fair and terms. Some of the subscribera, indeed, have | years selling off their lead and other lands, as fast as favorable opportunities presented them- ndthey have taken some a make their tenants acquainted with their intentions. If the leasing out of tracts of land has sometimes ho pened by reason of the preference of the ownay for tis system, it has likewise in many instances been done ht compliance with the wishes of the settlers themselve: and to promote their interests; and it is not easy to how any wrong to them can arise from their exercising he liberty of making such contracts as shall beat promote their own convenience.

Application on the subject will, of course, be made to them. 5 . Hunter, Henry Gvoring, J. D, Overing, G.C. Ver ck, planck, Win. W: Verplanck, .D. 1 Vor ick, Frederick De Peyster, John A.
