HE Paris papers to Thursday's date have been 1. received since our list; but they contain little liews of ititerest.-A series of dispatches is published by the Moniteur, giving details of the late operations in Algiers, in the province of the Regency. It appears that Abd el Kader was descending the valley of the Uned Saida with a small body of horsemen, thinking that the troops of General Lamoriciere, which were in pursuit of him, were still at the Herbour In 'his valley the advanced guard of Colonel Gery had bivouacked lio camp fires had been lighted, and the challenge of the Sentinel was the first intimation the Emir received of the presence of the French. He suddenly retraced his steps, and fled with all the swiftness of his horse, but 26 men of his escort were taken prisoners.-King Louis Philippe, being born on the 6th of October, 1773, has now entered his 71st year. His Majesty is the first of his race who has reached so advanced an age. On Friday there was to be a grand fete at St. Clond on the occasion of that anniversary. The King and Queen of the Belgians were expected in that residence on Thurs- day.—These journals, Ministerial and Opposition, are much engrossed by the speech of Mr. O'Conuell, de- livered at the Corn Exchange, Dublin, containing some not very flattering observations on the character of Louis Philippe, and a kind of preference of the young Henry v. provided he would grant a Constitutional charier.

It has I_ ceded in return the abolition 01 some tonnage ouucs, a diminution of the duties on rice, white lead, and cattle. The intelligence from Madrid is to the 28th. The measures of precaution are still continued by the Go- vernment. So extraordinary are the precautions taken to prevent an outbreak in the capital, that the city may be said to be under martial law, a recent order having released the troops from any dependence on the civil authorities. The Gazette indignantly denies the re- port that France had been applied to by,the Ministry to send an army into Spain. Still there were unsatis- factory rumours flying about. It was said that Prim had been murdered; that two battalions of the Regi- ment of Bourbon had proclaimed the Central Junta in Estremadura; that Seville and ihe principal towns of Gallicia had pronounced on the 24th. &c. Some symp- toms of insubordination, it appears, had manifested themselves in the Regiment of Bourbon; and a num- ber of officers had not concealed their sympathy for the Central Junta. The result was, that a Captain. three other officers, and the Surgeon-Major, had been ar- 'rested, and the regiment ordered to Madrid, where it wiU undergo a thorough pnrification, under the direc- tion or Geri. Concha. The purifying process will pro- liahlv be decimation, or prompt military execution of the ieaders, as in the case of the disaffection of the garrison of Madrid. General Narvaez bad sent a passport to Colonel Bristow, an English gentleman, who repaired to Madrid last year, to make arrange- ments for the establishment of an Anglo-Hispanic 'bank. The Colonel protested against this measure (tantamount to expulsion), which was to be catried. into effect within twenty-four hours. The British Charge d* Affairs had expostulated with the Minister of Foreign Affairs. who, it appears, had not been consulted on the subject. The elections in the provinces were going in favour of the Ministerial candidates. M. Isturitz'and Gen. Concha were likely to be returned for Madrid. Accounts from Athens of the 19th ult. state that the late revolution had nowise disturbed the tranquillity of the kingdom, The new Ministry displayed the greatest activity. iThey had issued a decree relative to the elections, and another for the organisation df the National Grtard of Athens, which ws»s ptncetr" fcndpr the command of Col. Macryany. The King hitherto has had the good sense to evince a full disposition to conform to the just wishes of his subjects, and the latter, in a full belief in his honour and sincerity, are joyous beyond all bounds and extol him to the skies. We hope the good feeling will continue, and that the confidence of the people will not be abused. Advices from Constantinople of the 17th ult. contain tbe .rumour of the recal of Reschid Pacha, the present Governor of Jerusalem, as much oil account Of the In- efficiency of his civil administration, AS from any desire to conciliate France.—Tlie settlement of the dispute of Turkey with Persia was progressing but slowly, in con- sequence of certain new demands on the part of the Commissioners of the Sehah. The new Prince of Servia has proclaimed an amnesty in favour of all per. sons banished from their country for political offences. —Syria is represented to he tranquil, with the excep- tion of an attack of the Metualis on the Convent of Arcisa, in the Lebanon, which they plundered, after murdering two of the Maronite clergy The new packet-ship Queen of ihe West, arrived Yesterday at Liverpool, lias brought letters and papers from New York to the ITth jilt. The weathercontillued exceedingly Ifavotirable (dr. securing the cotton crop; there is, consequently, nothing to justify the reports so industriously circulated that there will be any material deficiency in quantity. As respects quality, the early samples which have been offered in the markets are re- ported as being decidedly ittji^rlorto those of last year. —Foreign exchanges were active, and the market clo- sed oh London at 1091 to 109$. The Royal Mail-packet Company's vessel Tag has brought intelligence from Jamaica to the 8th ult., and the other West India islands to corresponding dates. A dreadful conflagration broke out at Kingston at mid- day of the 26th of August, which destroyed four hun- dred houses, together with the greater portion of the furniture and other valuabte property, involving a loss which is- estimated at upwards of 250,0001. The wind was very high, and the fire spread with the greatest ra- pidity. The negroes looked on with unconcern, and would not afford the slightest assistance in extinguish- ing the flames; there was besides a great scarcity of water. Had not the sailors in the harbour, the soldiers of the 60th regiment, and the respectable inhabitants of the town rendered assistance, the whole city must have fallen a prey to the devouring element. One person w.as killed and several severely wounded by a cannon shot and shells, fired upon the houses with the view to create a gap and arrest the progress of the flames. Rather more than the unual amount of business has been transacted to-day in the English Funds, and a few influential brokers remained in the city until a late hour this afternoon. One or twoparties took advantage of the depreciation that has occurred in prices to make investments, and the improvement of yesterday was fully supported. Consols were 911 to t, closing at 941 to £ To November the continuation is very limited. Exchequer bills were 62s. to 64s premium, the New 31 per cents. 1011 to 102, and the South Sea New An- nuities 9"2j to J.—There are but few speculative bar- 2 s gains in the Foreign market to-day, and the fluctuations consequently have nf t been of particular interest. Mexican we're 3.11 to t. being a trifle firmer than they closed yesterday.— A moderate business has been trans- acted in Railway Shares since our last report. The receipts have been generally much the same, but prices are less buoyant, influenced, as they undoubtedly are, in some measure by the heaviness of the funds. There is no longer any tlouht entert; ined of a higher duty, to the extent of 15 groschens, being imposed upon Foreign Iron entering into the States of tlie Zollverein, although it is believed by many parties that even at this rate the English staple may be admitted at a small profit, as an immense quantity will be required to complete the different railroads progressing in Germany. A review of the 3d Battalion of the First or Grena- dier Regiment of Foot Guards, the First Regiment of Life Guards, and part of the Thirteenth Regiment of Light Dragoons took place yesterday morning in the Home Park, Windsor. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, his Imperial Highnesstlie Grand Duke Michael. and his Serene Highness the Prince of Hohenloe Lansrenbourg. accompanied by Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington, Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's Forces, left the Castle, attended by the officers and gentlemen of the Royal suites, and proceeded by Adelaide Cottage to the Home Park. Soon after their arrival, the Royal party parsed along the line formed by the troops, and took their stations near the place where the colours were planted, and witnessed the marches and evolutions of the troops. The Queen viewed the inspection from the eastern Terrace of the Castle. The review was over at half-past eleven o'clock, when the Illustrious party quitted the ground and returned to the Castle.-His Grace the Duke of Wellington proceeded to the Slough station, travelling to town via tbe Great Western Railway. The Queen, at the suggestion of Sir Robert Peel, has bestowed a pension of lOOt. ayrar on Ladv Bell. the widow of the late eminent lecturer and professor, Sir Charles Bell It is understood that the naval promotions consequent on her Majesty's recent visit to the Continent will be confined to the Terror, the two senior mates of the fleet, and the senior lieutenant and the two senior mates of the Royal yacht, in accordance with the rules laid down last vear, when the Queen visited Scotland. The Senate and people of Hamburgh, in grateful acknowledgment of her Majesty s bounty, and the Ii-, beralitv of the English nation, have addressed a letter to the Queen in sui able terms, signed by the presiding Burgomaster, and forwarded to their resident in this country, which has been presented to her Majesty. The address is beautifully written on vellum, and illu- minated wi'h gold and coloured tetters. A contradiction, we are happy to say, has been given to the report that Earl Grey is in a very critical state of health. The venerable nobleman, on the contrary, is said to have improved in health since his arrival at Howick. The Duke and Duchess of Victoria visited the Lon- don Docks on Thursday, where they received the greatest attention from the Chairman and Directors. A collation was provided for the occasion. Sir Robert Peel arrived in town on Thursday morn- ing from a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. The English Churchman says that the Right Hon. Ba- ronet has within these few days forwarded a checqne for 40001. to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, with the view of raising a fund to mllet the demand ing of Churches, which will enstie from- the Act,passed last session. This seasonable gift was accompanied by a letter scarcely less gratifying, in which the Premier spoke of it as a debt due from him in consideration of the large fortune he had derived from trade. The poll for Lord Mavor for the ensuing year closed yesterday at four o'clock. The numbers were-for Alderman Mao-uav 833' the Lord Mayor 149; Aid. Wood 82. ° The canvass of the Citv of London on behalf of Mr. Pattison, is said to have been so successful as to leave scarcely a doubt of his being returned. He has de- clared himself to be 4 complete free trader, and the contest is expected to turn more upon the question of commercial policy, especially as regards the corn laws, than upon party politics as between Whig and Tory. There are present upwards of 300 masons employed upon the New Houses of Parliament, The works are so far advanced that Mr Barry considers it probable that the roof may be thrown over the greater portion, af not the whole of the maiu structure, before the winter.

The Chartist Convention,lately held in Birmingham. have started the notable project of raising a fund, of 'OOrOOOZ They say the money is to be appropriated in the purchase of 1,000 acres of land to be divided into small attotments. The Scotch papers contain detailed .accounts of a serious riot which took place at Roskeen Church, in the Presbytery of Tain, on Tuesday ae'nnight. The former minister having been one of the seceders in the late disruption in the Scotch Church, the Rev. John M'Keuzie was appointed to the liviog, and was about to be inducted in due form, when the Rev. Gentleman and the Presbyters were assailed by an immense mob, and* driven away from the Church. —Similar scenes have occurred at Logie and other ptaces. M ró Henry Lytton Bulwer. the brothprof the novelist. will be appointed Ambassador-to Spain, indeed, he has received his appointment already* Mr, Bulwer was a Liberal of the Grey school, and something more during; the time that he sat for the opulent borough of Mary- lebone. Mr. Bulwer. is about the fittest,.person that could be found to represent. our inlereals. at Madrid: Had events been of a more ordinary and routine-nature in the Peninsula, it was Ministers' intention to have ap" pointed lord Mahon their ambassador.

A great deal of interest has recently been excited by the pubticatiou of a correspondence between Lord Nugent and Mr. Edmund Dayrell, a gentleman bighty i connected in the county of Bucks, on the subject of a petition p/esented to the House of Commons by Mr. T Duncombe, bearing the signature of the Noble Lord. the High-Sheriff of Bucks, and other parties, containing expressions which Mr. Davrell considered highly objectionable, if not personally offensive. Several letters passed between the parties, whieh only served to widen the breach, and a hostile messajge was the result. The affair was then placed in the hands of friends, both gentlemen of high standing in tbe ..rmy, and it is satisfactory to state, that through their. judi- cious mediation, the matter has been honourably and amicably arranged. The steam-ship ltlennon, which was unfortunately wrecked on the 1st of August in the Red Sea, was the property of the East India Company, and from its extraordinary strength, being superior to a man-of-war of the same size. together with its superior steaming and sailing-powers, was selected for the servicoof con- veying the Overland mail. The Memnon was originally built for a war-steamer, and was fitted wi-It two of Capt. Smith's patent paddle-box boats, each.capabte of containing 150 persons. It is remarkabte that Capt Powell should have lost his vessel on a part of the African coast with which be must have been most intimately acquainted, having been formerly engaged by the East India Company in surveying the coast upon which the vessel was wrecked The second officer was Lieutenant Johnson it is believed, but as various changes frequently take place at Bombay, this may not be the case. It was Captain Porter, not Powell, whoçomOJanqed the Semiramis when it was lost some time since. A special meettng of the Committee who have under- taken to prosecute an inquiry into the fate of Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conoliv, reported to ha*e been executed .as spies, by order of the Ameer or Bokhara, was hetd on Tuesday at the residence of Captain Grover, president of the committee, in Berners-street, Oxford- street. The Rev. Dr. Wolff, the Persian traveller, who has undertaken the mission, was present, having, together with his wife. Lady Georgiana. who accom- panied her husband in several of his journeys in the East, arrived in the metropolis from Bruges on Monday last. Captain Grover introduced Dr. Woltrto the mem- bers of the committee, by all of whom he was most cordially received. Dr. Wolff addressed the com- mittee; and after some desultory conversation it was arranged that the Rev Dr. should set out on his mission by the Iberia, one of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company's packets, which will sail from Southampton on Saturday the 14th inst. The Committee also decided upon calling a public meeting at the Hanover-square Rooms some day in the ensuing week, at which Dr. Wolff has promised to attend. Considerable excitement was occasioned in Kidder- minster and rhelleighhourhood on Sunday last, by a report that a young-woman named Jane Bennett had been murdered in Hoo-lane on the previous night, and crowds of people flocked to the scene of the alleged murder. On the spot was found a great quantity of coagulated blood, and drops of blood upon the grass, close to the gate of Mr. Buchan, of Aggborough there were also marks as if some person had been forcibly dragged along the ground. A woman, it appeared, had been found dead on this spot the previous night, by two men named Morton and Potts, and carried to the nearest public-house. On Monday a person named John Hampton, residlllg at Kidderminster, was taken into custody on suspicion. It appears that the unfor- tunate female was the mother of a child by Hampton, and that she was again enceinte by him. Throughout the whole of Sunday the town continued in a state of great excitement, and on Monday an inquest was held on the body of the woman, but no evidence was ad- duced to show the precise manner in which the deceased had come, by her death. The jury returned the fol- lowing verdict: — Died from the loss of blood, arisiug from the rupture of a varix at the opening of the vagina, which rupture appears to have b^en the result of some degree of violence; but how or by what means such violence was effected there is not sufficient evidence to satisfy the minds of the jury,
