TEL POPE.—A private letter from Rome, under date April 7, says :—" Reports are continually given of the illness of the Pope. He was, however, out in his carriage on Saturday, and yesterday took part in the service at the 'Sistine Chapel. The city is becoming very full on account of the approaching Holy Week." The subject of iron armour for ships and the best Xaode of piercing it is every day occupying public attention more and more in Paris. It is said that at a trial made at Vincennes on Monday with a newly-invented rifle cannon th 3 ball traversed iron plates 12 inches thick. Captain Dabry, who accompanied the French expedition to China, has brought back to France a valu able collection of alimentary, industrial, and medicinal Plants, which he has presented to the Society of Acclima tization, making an announcement of the gift in a letter dated the 21st March, which the President of the Society, t.

PUGILISM.—NOLAN AND THOMAS.—The match between these men, they having, it will be"recollected, con tended a fortnight back for £4OO, has been definitely settled. The backers of Thomas asserted they could prove the friends of Nolan sent for the police ; they have, however, failed in doing this, therefore the stakeholder had no other alternative than to order the men to meet again on some future occasion. All bets made on the event are therefore °ff, and must be returned to each party. A. Turin letter of the 15th says—We had here a Very early spring in March, and warm weather, almost 'Ammer like, in the early days of this month, but the atmosphere cooled lately in consequence of long-continued rains, and we had yesterday a very sharp and heavy fall of ' 3l slow, a very unusual phenomenon in North Italy at this time of the year. All the fruit trees were already in blossom, and the forest trees were mantled with green. This morning was fine and bright, but wintry cold before 811nrise." The Press of Vienna of the 15th says :—" A meeting was held at the Post-office yesterday to count and examine the letter which had been stolen by a man named and which were found at his residence. The number is much greater than was at first supposed. There have been conveyed to the Post-office five sacks, four feet long by three feet wide, completely filled with them. Up to yesterday evening 50,890 had been counted, and those Which. were examined during the day have been to-day dis tributed. The letters which had ben opened have an qncial seal affixed to them.

BOW -STREET. ROBBERY BY A COMPOSITOR.—An elderly man, named Handley, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a quantity of type, the property of Mr, Wilkins, printer, of Tookes-court. John Charles Wilkins said—The prisoner was in my father's employ. As he was leaving our premises on Thursday evening I accused him of having a quantity of type on his person. He denied it, but on a policeman being sent for, the metal and type produced was taken from his person. It consists of brass rules and other articles used in a printing office. 1021 1041 Mr. Corrie asked how it was that the prosecutor could identify the type P The prosecutor said he was positive the type was his property, and was worth about 2e. a pound, and to get rid of it the prisoner could only get about 2d. or 3d. per pound for it. 1011 2 Mr. Corrie—Then the loss to you is very great, and the gain to him was very little. Prosecutor—That is so, your Worship. His average wages were about 275, per week. Mr. Corrie—Do you wish for a remand, or shall I deal with the case as it at present stands ? Prosecutor—l would rather you would deal with the case now, sir. If the man has taken any property away before he no doubt has disposed of it. He has been in my employ about 7 weeks, and I very much regret to see a member of our profession in such a degrading position. I, however, feel it to be my duty to master printers, as they are so open to robberies of this nature, to prosecute the man. I hope, however, your worship will deal with the prisoner leniently. Mr. Corrie—Your recommendation very much alters my determination. The offence is very clearly made out, and I shall, therefore, send the man to prison for three months. CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING TO PICK POCKETS.--A re spectably-dressed young man named Everrett, was charged by the police with attempting to pick pockets at the Italian Opera, on Thursday nignt. 76 171 f Inspector Eccles said—l had been informed that a person of prisoner's appearance had been bustling about the opera lobbies, and in a very short time after I heard the cry of police, and went towards the grand entrance, and there I saw the prisoner, a hom a lady said had attempted to pick her pocket. As she had lost nothing she declined to give her name, and drove off in her carriage. On being ques tioned the prisoner said he had been present during the opera, and had occupied a seat in No. 31 boa, for which he had paid 10s. lam not prepared to swear that the prisoner was not present during the performance, but he would not be admitted in his present costume to the box he had men tioned. 14 1 4 51a 50a 45 Police-constable 511 A said I was on duty outside the opera on Thursday night when a lady called out police. I was within two yards of the prisoner. The lady said, "This man got his hand in my pocket. I asked her if she would charge the prisoner, and she replied that as she had lost nothing she would not give the prisoner into custody. When I detained the prisoner he denied the charge in very positive terms. He said, "If you doubt my veracity take my card." No card-case was found on him when he was searched at the station. 10& I* 'OCKS. parate Year.

Mr. Corrie—Was the prisoner one of them. - - Policeman—l can't say, your worship, 1 was not there. I was on duty outside the theatre, and saw the prisoner in the front entrance, and then I heard the cry of " Police 1" A lady said the prisoner had attempted to piek her pocket. He denied it most positively. The lady would not give the prisoner into custody. I, however, took him to the station-house. On searching him I found a pocket book, 6d., 2d. in copper, and a comb. A gentleman from the theatre said the box No. 31 was an omnibus box—Lord Aylesbury's. Only members were admitted, the admissions not being transferable. Mr. Corrie—ls the prisoner one o, the subscribers to the box ? rear not to be half year. Witness—Certainly not. If he had been, he would not have been admissible in his present costume. Mr. Abrams (who appeared for the prisoner)—Will you swear the prisoner was not in the theatre on Thursday evening. Witness—l can't do that, as lam not in a position to know. Mr. Corrie remanded the prisoner for a week in order to afford the police time to make inquiries about kim. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

The Prisoner, in reply—Once before. Mr. Selfe—That is once too often, The Prosecutor—We lost two coats before on Sunday.

The expedition is to proceed from the confines of the Sahara, will follow the route of the caravans to Timbuctou, and cross the negro kingdom of the Tonareqes, where it will meet that from Senegal. The route of the caravans is provided with oases, situated at about 10 leagues (25 miles) from each other. These places of repose will be increased in number by the formation of artesian wells, which can be bored with great facility in that country, and round which the natives always collect. The expedition will in two months go from Biskarr to Tim buctou. Military posts will afterwards be established at different stations, and troops may then be sent to Senegal by land. EMIGRANTS FOR CoLUNSTA.--The example set by Chesterfield in setting up a party for the diggings has caused our Clay-cross friends to turn their attention to the subject. On Monday last nine or ten strong young fellows left that village for Liverpool en route to Cariboo, the new land of promise. The Chesterfield party have ere this left by steamer from New York for San Francisco, via Panama, and the general tone of the letters shows that with one ex ception they have not suffered either in health or spirits so far,—Derbyshire Courier, THIRD EDITION.

MAGUIRE, M.P., AND THE DIS- The hon. member for Dungarvon has addressed a letter to a Dublin journal on the alleged distress in Ireland. After stating that the debate on Sir George Bowyer's motion respecting Italy had necessitated the postponement of the question of Irish distress till the 2d of May, Mr. Maguire con tinues : "My object in now writing to you is to impress upon the friends of the afflicted the necessity of communicating to me such well authenticated facts as would truly represent the condition of their several districts, and, above all things, of not lead ing me astray by exaggeration or overstatement, From my own knowledge of the state of the South I can easily understand the sufferings of the people in other parts of Irelaud, especially the West ; but I have to convince others that the condition of large masses of the people of our country is so deplorable and so urgent as to demand the serious attention of the Government. From the first, the Government have denied the existence of more than ordinary I distress. Indeed, I must admit, the Government —I speak of the Irish Executive—find themselves placed in a false position, in consequence of their repeated and ostentatious laudation of Irish pros perity, and their congratulations upon the wonder ful progress which we have been making—making in imagination, I am sorry to say, and not in reality. They are now only consistent in denying the misery and wretchedness which prevail in many many districts of this country, and that there is any reason for apprehension in the months which usually precede the getting in of the harvest. To meet this systematic denial, this official incredulity,'. we, who are compelled by the presence and pres sure of the evil to hold a different opinion, must have facts—if possible, facts demonstrated by sworn evidence. Deaths have been traced to want of food; but the Government are prepared to assert—indeed have asserted—that these deaths were not attri butable in any degree to starvation. We believe that death has, in several instances, been either caused by actual want of food, or accelerated thereby; and this is just what the friends of the poor must assist me in proving. I would, therefore, earnestly request that those to whom cases of death from want of food are known, or may be known between this and the end of this month, will kindly communicate with me—addressing their letters to the House of Commons—and will state such case as simply and as circumstantially as possible. I shall only add my respectful advice that inquests should be held in every case that nnfortunately may occur ; for, as we are met by reiterated denials— denials which, coming from the source they do, blunt the edge of sympathy, and close the halt opened hand of charity—we must avail ourselves of every just and lawful means of driving convic tion home to the minds of men. We must satisfy those, at least, who are not officials of the Irish Go vernment, and who have not committed themselves by triumphant proclamations of prosperity and persistent denials of the existence of distress, that the appeals which have been made on behalf an afflicted people were but too well jnstified by the real state of the case." THE BILST ON EXPLOSION.—The total number of deaths up to yesterday morning was 26, and several of the survivors are in a very precarious state. It has been ascertained that the diameter of the boiler was 10ft. bin. Its construction and adaptibility for a high-pressure engine wili be an important matter for inquiry before the inquest closes. THAMES EMBANKMENT.—TheDuke of Northum berland, who holds property along the river side, has peti tioned the house against the bill for the Thames Embank ment, and prays that he may be heard, by himself, counsel, agents, and witnesses, before the committee appointed to consider the subject, in respect of any provisions contained in it prejudicial to his rights and interests. The Metropoli tan Board of Works and other bodies have also petitioned to be hoard against the bill. Railways. Est anric & St Lawrence Bom.,liaroda.t.Cent Ind • Gu. 5 per cent..

Expired on the 18th inst., at his residence in Eaton - square, Sir John West, G.C.8., Admiral of the Fleet. This distinguished officer entered the navy in 1788, as midshipman in the Pomona, Captain Damett, and after seeing much service off the coast of Africa, West Indies, North America, the Medi terranean, and the Channel, was promoted 1793 to Lieutenant in the Saturn, 74, and in the following year appointed to the Royal George; 100 guns, bear ing the flag of Admiral Lord Bridport, in which ship he took part in Lord Howe's victoryof June 1, 1794, and in the following year in Lord Bridport's action with the French fleets off l'Orient, in which three sail of the line were captured ; conveyed to Eng land the despatches of the Commander-in-Chief, and was promoted. Proceeding to the West Indies in 1795, in com mand of the Diligence sloop of war, Captain West served successively under the flags of Admirals Sir Henry Harvey and Sir Hyde Parker, and returned to England in 1798, in charge of a convoy of 150 sail, his health much impaired by climate. In 1807 he, while in command of his Majesty's ship Excel lent, 74, co . operated with the Spaniards in compel ling the surrender of a French squadron of six sail of the line in blockade of Cadiz. Proceeded subse quently with the Commander-in-Chief, Lord Col lingwood, to the blockade of Toulon. In the following year, being detached with his Majesty's ship Excellent and two bomb vessels un der his orders, Capt. West proceeded to the Bay of Rosas, coast of Catalonia, and occupied with a strong party of seamen and marines the Castle of Trinity, which he held with the assistance of the Spaniards against repeated attacks of the French under Gen. Dahesme, who assaulted it in force, but were re pulsed finally with considerable loss (Gazette, Jan., 1809); during these operations Capt. West had a horse shot under him. He was relieved in this ser vice by Lord Cochrane, who continued the defence with great spirit, but was compelled eventually to blow up the works and re-embark. In the spring of 1809 he was detached with three sail of the line under Commodore Hargood to the Adriatic, and left in command of a small squadron to blockade the enemy's force lying under the batteries of Trieste. While on this service attacked and captured a large convoy proceeding from Venice to Trieste, protected by six heavy gunboats, for which the First-Lieu tenant (Harper) of the Excellent was promoted (Gazette, Dec., 1809). On his return from the Adriatic, Capt. West was appointed by Lord Col lingwood to the command of a squadron of six ships and vessels for the defence of the Island of Sicily and to watch the enemy's force at Naples. In 1810, on his appointment to his Majesty's ship Sultan, 74, he was detached by Sir C. Cotton with the Lavinia frigate under his orders to conduct cer tain operations on the coast of Corsica—a service which was fully accomplished and for which he re ceived the approbation of the Admiralty conveyed through the Commander-in-Chief. In 1812 he was detached by Sir Edward Pellew, LB., to the Gulf of Genoa, and captured two of the enemy's vessels conveying mortars, &c. Detached the same year by the Commander-in-Chief in command of a squad ron consisting of two sail of the line and a frigate, ordered to proceed to the coasts of Sardinia and Tunis with instructions relative to the Algerines. Her Majesty's ship Sultan being ordered home to refit after a lengthened service in the Mediterranean Captain West proceeded on its completion to join the Channel fleet, under Lord Keith, blockading the ports of Brest and Toulon, where he remained till the close of the war, and accompanied the Com mander-in-Chief to Bordeaux to co-operate in with drawing the English army from France. This ser vice accomplished, he proceeded to the West Ind;,es in charge of a convoy for the several islands, and returned to England the same year. Sir John's commissions bore date as under : Flag, 1819 ; vice -admiral, 1830; fall, •1841 ; ap pointed Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth, 1845; Knight Commander of the Bath, 1840 ; Grand. Cross, 1850 ; Admiral of the Fl ee t, 1858. Sir John West was a younger son 'of Mr. Temple West, Lieut.-Col. Ist Foot Guards, and succeeded his elder brother, Mr. Temple West, as representa tive of that branch of Wests long settled formerly in the counties of Buckingham and Northampton. He married Harriet, only daughter of Mr. J. Adams, by whom he has left a family, who survive him. MARKETS-THIS DAY.

ALLEGED DEATH BY GAROTTING. — YeSterday morning information was forwarded to the different police stations, that shortly after midnight a police - constable on duty in Holborn found a man of respectable appearance lying on the ground at the corner of Brooke-street, insen sible. With the assistance of some other officers he was taken to the police station in Smithfield, where he was seen by the divisional surgeo n, who found him dying, and he shortly afterwards expired. From the inquiries instituted by the police, there is every reason to believe the deceased had been garotted and robbed, as nothing was found on his person of any value, or likely to lead to identity. Mr. Payne, the city coroner, has postponed the inquest, to give the police an o pportunity to collect evidence, so as to, throw some light on the mysterious affair. 24 :1 _ _ James S. Rains Mo.

Albert Pike Total lO5 The generals who have no State recorded against their names are, I fancy, mostly Northerners en gaged in the Confederate service, and one can hardly fail to be struck by the absence of foreigners from this list, hardly a name occurring' vialiCh is not purely Anglo -Saxon. I have seen two letters written from the South by a high official. One from New Orleans, written just after the capture of Fort Donnelson (which arrived here 'via England), speaks very despond ingly of the state of the Confederate cause, and indicates Norfolk as the place where the final struggle is to be made ; the second, from the same person and place, only about ten days old, which has come across the Northern States in a most mysterious manner, is written iu a very hopeful strain. The writer imagines that the Merrimac and two other Southern armed steamers (now nearly ready for sea) will make short work of the blockade, and that the recognition of the Confede racy by the European Powers must necessarily follow. It is curious, to observe how a small success elates either party to the American quarrel, and how a temporary reverse causes a corresponding depres. tlion. Public feeling here, which some three months ago was violently in favour of the South, has com pletely veered round; the everlasting "Dixie," which the gods of Toronto Theatre used to demand from the orchestra nightly, and receive with unbounded applause, is now scarcely ever called for, and on the rare occasions when some enthusiastic Southerner ventures to shout for the once popular air, the sug gestion is invariably received with contemptuous laughter, and proposals not calculated to increase the personal comfort of its originator. The troops despatched for the protection of our North American possessions are at length settled in their respective quarters, the last detachment Pf the military train, which had been employed along the road across New Brunswick, haviag passed through Toronto, on its way to Hamilton, a few days I ago. I um' unable at present to send an account of the stations of the artillery, engineers, and military train ; I hope to do so by next mail ; but the infan try are disposed of as follows (omitting small de tachments, of which I hope soon to be able to give you an exact account) : Quebec-Ist battalion 17th, 4th battalion 60th Rifles, Military Train, Artillery, Engineers. Montreal-Ist battalion Grenadier Guards, 2nd battalion Coldstream Guards, 47th, Military Train, Artillery, Engineers. Kingston—Wing Canadian Rifles, 62nd, Artil lery, Engineers. Toronto-30th, Military Train, Artillery. Hamilton-Ist R. 8., Military Train, Artillery, Engineers. London—Wing, Canadian Rifles, 62d. Between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are quartered the Ist battalion 15th, 2d battalion 16th, and 2d battalion 17th. The officers despatched here on particular ser vice—that is, for the purpose of organising the Canadian militia—have been ordered home, and ere fast departing; the exodus of the additional medi cal officers sent out last January having already terminated. The horses of the field batteries have been reduced to a peace establishment, and officers are again permitted to apply for leave of absence to England. The volunteers in the cities and large towns still continue a spasmodic course of drill, but the war feeling has died out, and it would take much to revive it. Canadian politics present so few objects of inte rest to an English reader, that it is, perhaps, hardly worth mentioning that even the supporters of the present Ministry admit that its continuance in office during the present session is extremely pro blematical; the rock on which it is, perhaps, destined to split being the ranch-vexed question of representation by population. In 1838, at the time of the legislative union of Upper and Lower Canada, an equal share of the representation was given to each province, though Lower Canada had then by far the larger population. At present the tables are turned, the tide of immigration, which has flowed steadily westward, having placed 11:6s tern Canada 250,000 ahead of its E as t e rn neigh hour. The opponents of a chan ge i n the present system base their objections on the ground that fourteen years more may restore the former I).copor. tions between the two sections of the province, and that a far greater disparity then at present exists should be shown before any attempt t o i nterfere with the status quo ou, g bt to be entertained. The present Ministry (i n a ll senses. a coalition) having had lately to pension off some of its members, finds great difficalty in filling their places; many mem bers who give their support to the Ministers object ing to take ofßee under them, having a decided objection to face their constituencies at an election, where their unredeemed pledges to support repre sentation would be paraded against them. The re elections will take place next week, and by them ,the fate of the present Government will very pro bably be decided. be ke .ch ur of ith for 1 of 1 of ers int in- ws, ted ✓lr.. ral of DM of tey ain of try el - ith or- by ho ch en. rota.
