The It/mil/cur of Sunday has a telegraphic deep:deli from Algiers

to the following effect—'' The camp or the Kalifa I let t .•;..1.nn, on the river Buedomtou, was attacked by General Changurnier ; the enemy dice el, and 129 native dead bodies have fallen into our power. The province of Algiers is tranquil."

Letters from Milan give acconnts of a violent storm which occurred there on the 10th ultimo. The hailstmtes are repeeeented to have been so large that they not only broke the window-panes but the tiles on the roofs of the houses. Two men were killed on the Piazza del Dttomo, and the cathedral itself received considerable damage. Several of the pinnacles were injured, and the gilt statue of the Virgin, which crowned the principal steeple, was thrown down and much mutilated. The damage done to the city was estimated at an enormous amount.— Galignana

A letter from Corfu, dated August 30f11, contains the following state. ment—" It appears that the gentlemen here, disconeterted by what passed in the British Parliament, held a council composed of Ionian and English functionaries, and have induced the Senate to remonstrate or protest in order to establish the principle that the British Parliament should not interfere or intermeddle in future with the affairs of these states. It appears that this remonstrance or protest is to be founded on the second article of the treaty of Paris, which declares that the Ionian State should be under the immediate and exclusive pretection of Ids Bri- tannic Alojcsty."

A report was circulated last week, that a Russian fleet was off the Goodwin Sands, bound to the Mediterranean. The report appears to have originated in some blunder by a signal-man at the North Fore- land station.

A third version has appeared of the statement that the forts at the been Tigris, in China, had been destroyed by the English fleet. Ae- cording to this account, some seamen and troops had been sent on shore to put the forts in a state of defence against the Chinese. The Chinese, it is added, had sunk some junks on the second bar, to impede the progress of the assailants; but some smaller vessels and a strong military force were to be sent to raze Canton.

The King of Hanover has conferred the order of the Guelph on Dr. Jaeger, who performed the operation on the Prince Royal.

The packet-ship Roscoe, which arrived at Liverpool on Tue sday, brought New York papers to the Stlaand Canada papers to the 6th Sep- tember. Neither the money nor the stoek-merket had underg one material change in the interval betwixt the :sailing of the President and the Roecoe. The exchange! on England was 1004 to 107. The supply of bills \vas less titan it hed been, but the demand was limited. On Paris ldlls ecaree; the rate was 5f. 2t t. At Philadelphin, on the Oa United Settes Bank shares were quoted at 651 to 65J, ; and at New York, on the 7th, tit 02.

All the statistical estimates agree in the main as to the agricultural produce of leaa viz.—cotton, 81,000,000 dollars; tobacco, 15,000,000 dollars; rice, 4,500,000 dollars; bread stufre, 275,000,000 dollars; total, 375,500,6o0 dollars.

A curious letter is published in these papers, which seems to illus-

trate in a remark:Ode manner the ruder to if f;eIH7 Inual!V attri- buted to society in America. It is Written by E...-1're iIett Jaekson to the editor the Uidi n, at the ieetigatien, it is slyposed, of some of Mr. Van Buren's pattisans. General Jack -:on refers to a statement which the Honourable Henry Cl.,y was rei oiled to 'have 111:1:10, that daring the adrniulstration of the Gen,ral he hit! anointed .Mr.

The Florenee was on her voyage from Rotterdam to New York. In addi- tion to the above, we have news of other sad marine disesters. The ship Franconia, from New Orleans to Livernool, laden with cotton, caught fire from liabtniog at sea, and with (iillieulty made the Havannah. Passengers smved; vessel scuttled near the shore in the harbour; cargo partly burnt, and nearly ail dameged. The sebum:at- ill tic llawk took tire, and was burat tear Mobile. The steam-boet Feyet le and the Pocahontas have been both snagyell sunk, with their cargoes, its the Mississippi ; passengers aud crews saved. The Cadiz packet that was lost near Neuvitas, Cuba, about three weeks since, had only eighteen passengers saved out of seventy-four.

A Caplan' .M .A dale, I f the ::ante corps, made some offensive remark, which reached Farquhar's ears. On the last day of August, Mr. Farquhar sent a ftheed to Captain 3PAdam, with a verbal demand for en apology or a meetittg. M' Adam required the demand to be made in writing; but, instead of complyi»g, Farquhar threatened, before he left the regiment, to latrsewhip the Captain. Un-

Farquhar struck his antagonist ; a struggle ensued; the pistol was discharged, and Farquhar received the contents in his abdomen. The wound was supposed to be mortal. An investigation into the case was about to be entered upon innnediately.
