The wife of a member of the Corfu di plomatique hat eloped with a foreign prince and fled to the Continent. Her husband had committed an assault on her, in conse quence of her having ridden out with her paramour. The Dublin Evening Post states, that there is very little doubt ot the re-election of Mr. O'Conneil.

Paris papers r\ Muy 28th, had been re ceived In London. It is stated from Jas.y, May 8, that all account* from the theatre of war conbrm the statements that very san guine actions had taken place at SUistria, and in the environs at Choumla, where the Turk* have displayed unparalleled valour, and fought with a desperation bordering on frenzy. Letters from the frontier! of Moldavia of May, confirm the taking of Baldrick, a little fortress between Varna and Kavqrna, by the Turks and do not contradict the cap ture of Siteboli by the troops ot Hussein Pacha. The European discipline udds much to their force. Dervizes appear at the head of the troops, and recite prayers und sing hymns, which thu Turkish soldiers repeat while they animate each other; and when their fanaticism is thus excited, they rush to the combat like madmen, uttering dread ful cries. The number of Turkish troop-, increases daily, and is at least equal to that of the Russians. On the 5th of April the Russian squadron v?as at Poros, to the number of lour ships of the linr, n corvette and two brigs. The Courier of Smyrna of April 12th, says that Admiral llcyden having considered with the president what place of refuge the squadron should choose incaseofwai with England, the port of Kap<>ll had been cho sen: and in consequence 30 pieces ol heavy cannon had been plart-d at the entrance of it. It is added, that the Admiral having Ktncf become sensible that it was impossi ble to escape in that port from the English fleet, had resolved to join his squadron to t that which was blockading the Dardanelles ; and. In case of a decluvation of w r, immt-1 diately to force the passage and proceed into i the Black Sea. It was affirmed at Poros , that this junction would bo very soon effei t-, ed. Letters from Constantinople May *'d say,' it is the firm belief that the Russians pro- { jsct a landing on the Asiatic coast of the Black Sea, and that the attack on the Size- : liols was merely contrived as a mask to this i vast enterprise, for which immeh?e prepa- I rations were making at Odessa. In conse- I quencc, the Ottoman lleet had been sent to the Black Sea to prevent this invasion, for the Divan dreads* nothing so much as the appearance of a considerable hostile fori e is the vicinity of the forts on the Asiatic side of the Bosphonis, which *vnuld not only spread alarm Inthe capital, but would great ly impede the arrival of supplies for the r.uropean provinces. The Times of the 30th of May, in allud ing to the extension of the Russian block aue, says? ?*\Ve must repeat what we siiid yester day, that it cannot be tolerated. A block ade of the Dardanelles, it is called! Why, it is a blockade of the whole of the ocean that was known to the anclents?to the Oreeks,. Roman*, Egyptians ami Assyrian*.

Advices from Leghorn state, that great mischief lirts been done in that port l?y a violent tempest. Opposing winds aeemed to struggle together, the compai?? varied every instant, and at intervals traces of fire were seen in the horizon. The vessels at anchor were exposed to great danger.

Charles UiiiKham?I was at Uamscar's house on the 5th of May. The mob came downShudehili from St. George's road, and many people got about the door and wind ows. 1 went into the house by the back door, and 1 found Mr. Kainscnr and his wife very much alarmed. 1 saw McCurry there in front of the house near to the uoor.? Some of the crowd laid hold of the shutters, as if trying to pull them down, but they could not properly get hold of them. That was before 1 went in. I saw McCurry in custody about two hours afterwards. I am sure he was in the crowd. I took live loaves up stairs with me, which 1 received from Mr. Kamscar's daughter, and 1 threw them through the window io the mob. Thev cried ??ut for more, and I threw out to them two more loaves. The mob scram bled for them. When 1 was in the wind ow 1 saw McCurry standing in front of the crowd. After I had thrown them seven loaves, they asked for more, but I told them I had no more, and then shut the window. They then went away, n? the cavalry were coming up. Mr. Foster the magistrate, had before made his uppcarance. They went away peaceably. To questions from the Court.?They cri ed out, "llre want 'more; give us more bread!" The street was much crowded by gronns of the same description. They de manded the bread in a forcible sort of wuy, calling out for it very loud! 1 The Jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty against Mc Currv. William Daviei wasindictcd for stealing, on the 5th of May, twenty loaves of bread, the property of Mr. James Foster, shop keener of Ardwick. Mr Armstrong appeared for the prosecu tion. The facts of the case were detailed in ev idence. 'l'lic Jury found him Guilty. The sentence of these starving creatures was six months imprisonment at hard labour, for crying out "give us more bread." We iu this country cannot be made to understand that it isa crime to be hungry, and to call for food and that some consider ation should not be bestowed, on a starving family?but in F.ngland it is different.? Thousands and tens of thousands men, wo men and children, are driven into manufac turing establishments to labour eleven and twelve hours per day for what will scarcely give them breud or potatoes, and very sel dom meat; and if the lordly proprietor, comptroler anddesfiotovcr hundreds, should meet with reverses, or his articles should depreciate in value, wages are reduced, and the half fed operatives arc turned loose to starve and riot, and if the ? ask and accept of bread, a prison is there portion, and the melancholy fact is beyond doubt, that many find their way into a prison to be kept from actual starvation. The Corn Laws, which will not admit the importation of foreign grain, until corn is at a ccrtain price, too high for a poor man, arc also causes of great misery. Instead of throwing open their ports, and raying to their people "get bread .isrlu-ap as you can," the same stupid spirit which protects one interest at the ex pense of another, gives to the agricultur alists in Knglaud the very same exclusive rights that some of our wUe men arc dc sirous of giving to manufacturers in this country. We line heard much and read much' about the wisdom of the Itritish laws.? J I'hose relating to jurisprudence, gene rally expounded hy (jrcut and good men, have .? high rh;tr.ir.tcr in this country: hat their laws for the protection of trnac, for the protection of manufacture* and ag riculture, are weak and vicious?they grow mit of civcumfttanccy, they are panned to meet certain exigencies: a tax is wanted, and forty laws are passed to protect that tax.

Whatever is consider ed "judicious," they arc opposed to. Then the volunteers?equally detestable: " Free trade and protection to Manufac ture* con trotted?'The first will nwnrin u? with foreign paupers and rogues?the lat ter will briug us capitalists and honest men." As a commentary on the above, witness the sale of the l'lympton Manufactory for 54000, which cost $30,000. "Capitalists" quotha! "/7ax?northern cotton?fit forthe neck* of our opponents, mid the backs of ? friends. The insinuation is quite in character. Those who will consent to be enormously taxed, to enrich a few capitalist* engaged in manufactures, are proscribed as fit sub jects for a hempen or flaxen neckcloth.?

The kindness with which you put intho account of the party last year, induces my mama todesiro me to write to you again to know if you would like to insert a journal of her travels. My papa has retired from business?he has left tlie shop in the Minoros, and has taken a house in Montaguc-idace, a beauti ful street, very far west, and near the Brit ish Museum, and my two younger sisters have been sent over here to improve their education and their morals, and mama and I came over last week to seo them, and if they had got polish enough to take them homo again. Papa would not coma with us, because when he was quite a youth, he cot a very great alann in Chelsea Reach, because the waterman would put up a sail, and from that time to thin, ho can never be prevailed upon to go to sea?so wo camo over under the care of Mr. Piilmer, the banker's son, who was coming to his family. Mama has not devoted much of hor time to the study of English, and does not un derstand 1* rencli at all, and therefore, per ha|Mi, her Journal will hero and there ap pear incorrect; but sho is a great etyniolo fjist, and so fond of you, that although I bo leve Mr. Murray, the great bookseller in Alhemarlo street, would givo her I do not know how many thousand |?ouud? for her i>ook, if she published it " all in a lump," as papa says, she prefers sending it to you piecemeal, and so you will have it every now and then, as a portion of it is done. I have seen Mr. Kulmer laugh sometimes when she has been reading it; but I see nothing to laugh at, except the hard words vhn uses, and tile pains she takes to find out meanings for things. She says if you do not like to print it, you may let Murray havo it; but that, of course, she would pre fer your doing it. I enclose a portion; more shall come soon. Papa, I believe, moans toask you todinner when wo ?et bark to town; "lie says you are a terrible body, and as he has two or three weak |>oints in his character, ho thinks it better to l?e friends w itli you than foes.

Wo saw the inn where Aloxander, the Autograph of all tho Russias, lived when lie was here; nnd as we were going along w? met twentv or thirty dragons, mounted on horses, ana the ensign who commanded theiu was a friend of Mr. Fuhuer's: he look ed at Lavinia, and seemed pleased with her 2botinu auembly?he was quito a tine ana non of a man, and worn tips on his lips, like I/ady Hopkins's poodle.

Tnis I believe was a nautical phrase, which I did not rightly comprehend; because Mr. V. never offered to talk in that way on shore to eith er of us. " The packet ix not a parcel, as I imagin ed, in which we were to be made up for ex portation, but a boat of considerable sixe; it ix called u cutter?-why, I do not know, and and did not like to ask. It was very curious to xcu how it rolled about; however, 1 fell quite mal-npropos; nnd, instead of exciting any of the soft sensibilities of the other sex, a great unruly man, who held the handle of ship, bid me lay hold of a companion, and when I sought his arm for protection, he introduced me to a ladder, down which I ascended into tho cabin, one of the most curious places 1 ever beheld, where ladies and gentleman nrc put upon shelves, like books in a library, and where tall men are doubled up like boot-jacks, before tlicy can be put away at all. " A gentleman in a hairy cap, without Iuh coat, laid me perpendicularly on a mat rass, with a basin by my side, and said that was my birth; 1 thought it would have been my death, for 1 never was so indisposed in all my life.

Ther'* was no symphony to be found among the tars (so called from their smell,) for just before we weat off, I heard them throw a painter overboard, and directly af ter, they culled out to one another to uois\ up an ensign. 1 wnx too ill to inquire what the poor young gentleman had done; but af ter 1 came up stairs, I did not see his body banging anywhere, so 1 conclude they had cut him down.

" I was quite pleated to see Lavinia sit ting with Mr. Fulmer In the travelling car riage on the outside of the packet. Uut Lavinia afforded great proofs of her good bringing up, by commanding her feeling*. It is curious what could have agitated tnc Miliary ducks of my stomach, because 1 took every precaution which is rccommcnd cd in different books, to prevent lll-disposi tion. 1 had sonr.c mutton chops at break fast, some Scotch marmalade on bread and butter, two eggs, two cups of coffee, and three of t6a, besides toast, a little fried whi ting. some potter charr,und a few shrimps; and after breakfast, 1 took a glass ot warm white wine negus, and nfew oysters, which lasted till wc got Into the boat, when 1 began eating gingerbread nuts all the way to the packct, and then was persuaded to take a gla*s of liottled porter, to keep every thing snug and comfortable." The delights of love had made Alexan der pause in the career of ambition. His hosts of knight* and barons were discon tented nt the change, and Aristotle, as the j tutor and guardian of his youthful course, endeavoured to rouse anew the spirit of the hero. The prince attempted no Ungth td reply to this appeal to hit chivalry ; " alone Im ciied, si Inly niovnJ, Alsi Hits* in?n, tutftoemt, liavn narer lovtd." The grave laws of the sagr took root, how ever in Alexander's heart, and he absented himsell from hift mistress. Hhe wailed her fate for sometime In solitude, but at length assured that It was not the mere capric Ioumkss of passion which kept him from her, she forced herseir into the presence of her lord. Her beautv smiled uway all dreams of glory from hU mind, arid in the fondues* of hi* love he accused Aristotle of breaking in uposi hit Joy. llui the dominion of his passion was only momentary, ?tt<l re covering the ninrtial tone of his soul? he do* cTared the ?nd necessity of partffte. 8he then requested a brief delay, piombing to convince the king that his tutor'* counsel derived no additional recommendation from hi* practice, for that ho Mood in need of an much Instruction an Alexander himself. Accordingly, 'With tlM first appearance of the hex' morning, the damael repaired to tlio lawn. before the chamber wftere Aristotle iay.

Arts' totle drunk the delicious sounds, and gating again, her charms appeared more resole#* dent tliun before. Reason faintly whisper ed that he was not born to be loved, and that hiabair was now" white with age, liia foteliead wrinkled withstudy} but passion and vanity drove awa> these faint remoa* strances, and Aristotle was a sage no more. The damsel carelessly passed liia window, and in the delirium ol hip knrahe caught the floating folds of her robe. She affected an ger, and he avowed his passion. She lis tened to his confession with a surprise el manner that tanned his flame* and she an swered him by complaining of the late coldness of Alexander.
