She is now putting forward strong and undeniable claims to be considered the Queen of the Dance also. Carlotta Grisi and Cerito by birth, Taglioni by descent, are numbered among her daughters ; and to these must now be added Sophie Fuoco, the beautiful, elegant, fas cinating Milanese, who bids fair at no distant period to surpass all her rivals. She repeated the character of Betty, in the ballet of The Ways of Wapping, and the more we see of her the more do we feel convinced that the day is not very far distant when Sophie Fuoco will be hailed as "pus excellence," the Deesse de la Dance. She at once takes her place among choerographic ar tistes, as a genius, the originator . of a school and of a style. It is true, that in speaking of her characteresties, we must compare her to the originators of other schools, and say that she approaches nearer to the school of Ellsler and Carlotte Grisi, than she does to any other, but then the style of Mademoiselle Fuoco differs to a much greater extent from that of either of those two great artistes, than they differ from cne another, and yet no one would think of classing Carlotta Grisi as of the school of any of her predecessors. She has formed a school of her own, so has Mademoiselle Fuoco, and ere long her disciples will be tar more numerous than even those of Carlotta Grisi. Ease, grace and elegance, are the great characterittics of Sophie Fuoco, and she pos sesses a muscular power which is astonishing in one so light, so lovely, and so sylphlike. For instance, what can surpass in grace and elegance that wonderful art which she performs entirely on the points of her toes, it is grace and elegance personified, and it is not until that pas is finished that the spectator, on reflection, be comes aware of the immense muscular power that must have been put in action during the performance of this unique and unrivalled feat of choerographic art. Her acting too is beautiful. There is an espieyle simpli city—a naive coquetry about her impersonation of the character of Copp's niece, that is perfectly bewitching, and to add to her fa cinations, she possesses those two powerful magnets of attractions, youth and beauty. No wonder then that she has created a furore in France and Italy, and still less wonder that the furors is surpassed by the enthusiam which she excites every night of her appearance at Drury Lane. The engage ment of Sophie Fuoco is decidedly the greatest hit Mr. Bunn has yet made. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.--FRENCH PLAYS. M. Perlet was to have made his debut hero last even ing, hut in consequence of the continued indisposition of the first of artists, his debut was unavoidably postponed. En Revanche we had Mademoiselle Brohan in three pieces—in Le Roman dune heure, and in Les Rivaux d'eux memes, and in Le Bonhomme Richard. The last piece, VI hich was produced for the first time on Friday, is one of the best of modern French vaudevilles. It was only produced in Paris during the last few days of Sep tember, and the fact of it being produced at St. James's, so early in the season, is a proof of the enterprise of Mr. Mitchell in catering for the amusement of his patrons. Le Bonhomme, Richard (admirably acted by Cartigny) is a cotton manufacturer in the provinces of France, a true Utilitarian, who swears by Franklin, and is constantly quoting " Poor Richard" as the modern Solomon. He has a nephew, a certain Mons. Ovide, who has been domiciled in Paris to learn the mercantile usages of the capital. But M. Ovide has a taste. He forms a liason with an eleve du conservatoire, whose friend Fanfinette (Mademoiselle Brohan) is the most espiegle, and at the same time the most open-hearted of soubrettes. Le Bonhomme Richard receives from his Parisian correspondent most awful accounts of the doings of Ovide. He frequents the society of Lions, and incon testibly the good country relations imagine that he must be either a Van Amburgh or a sacrifice to the carnivor ous propensities of the wild beasts of the desert, but when the letter goes on to state that he frequents divans, his uncle concludes that he must be turned Turk, and determines to proceed at once to Paris, to reclaim him. The uncle arrives, and finds Ovide in all his glory. Ovide shams sick, but the uncle soon finds out the sham. His serious lectures are, however, inter rupted by the espeigle Fanfinette (Mdlle. Brohan), who invites him to supper, coaxes him into accepting the invitation, and by her fascinations, aided by sundry glasses of champagne, completely gets round Bonhomme Richard, who discovers that there are other things in the world worth living for besides getting money. The acting of Mademoiselle Brohan throughout this scene was the ne plus ultra of artistical excellence. She coaxed, she wheedled the old man with the most fascinating air in the world. It was impossible to resist her frequent invitations to take wine, and then her laugh was unapproachable. We have many good laughers on the stage—one lady excels in the simper, another in the sneer, another in the conventional hysteric spasm of the respiratory organs, which gives what the Americans would call " a pretty considerable good imitation of a laugh," but none approach to Mademoiselle Brohan ; hers is the honest, jocund, ab solutely infectious " Haw I haw haw !" which, with a silvery ring, resounds through the house, and sets all who hear her laughing for very sympathy. Cartigny in this scene was admirable. He is fascinated with the charming Fanfinette in spite of himself, and at last dis covers that there is something more worth living for than is taught by the theories of mere utilitarians. The moral of this piece, which is elicited by contrasts, is ex cellent. It teaches us that neither mere utilitarianism nor mere gaite de cceur is sufficient for human happiness, but that for the judicious admixture of all the qualities of the human mind, sentimentalism, utilitarianism, and love of enjoyment, results common sense, that great — that transcendent quality most praised, yet seldom ap preciated, but which when reached is the perfection alike of genius, of success, and of happiness. The house was well and fashionably attended. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE TATTERSALL'S.—YMSTERDAY. There was a very fair attendance yesterday afternoon, and several horses w ere in demand for the Derb y. The three leading favourites , however, were not of the number, and we may pass at once to the Sister to Cob web colt, Allertonian, Glentilt, Lunedale, and Old Port, who were in good fa vour with several parties. Glen tilt and Lunedale at 30 to 1 and 1,000 to 30, and the others at the cdds quoted. The outlay on the Sister to Cob web colt must have exceeded 600 L, a large sum to invest at this period, and, we may add, a large sum to invest without making any impres sion on the market, for the layers were numerous, and, as it appeared to us, not quite exhausted. 1,000 to 25 each were laid three or four times against Tantivy, the Marpessa Colt, and Conyngham; 1,000 to 20 each against, Red Hart, Projectile, and Christopher; and a few other bets of small amount, at the prices re turned. One very _liberal bet was laid against West India Planter, but the market laying price may be fairly taken at 1,000 to 15. The Military Steeple Chase to come off at Leamington was not mentioned in the room, but we were informed that 8 to 1 was taken outside about Peter Simple, 20 to 1 about the Red Lancer, and 2 to 1 offered against the Switcher.

DEATH OF A FASHIONABLE SWINDLER. Several months ago,agentrern — it; of. very eaptivatir,e manners took up, f s many of our readers w ill very we l' remember, his temporary abode at the King's Head Hotel, in this city, under the name and title of the Hon Captain Wyndham. It will also be remembered that he made a somewhat precipitate retreat, after having honoured some of our banks with a kind of. patronage not altogether profitable or agreeable. He was subse quently heard of at Slough, at Windsor, and various other placer, sometimes as Captain Wyndham, and at other times as Captain Wellesley ; but for some months past his names and ch eers have not been before the pub lic. This is now accounted for —h e di e d— as it has transpired, on the 20th of June last. We are informed that when inquiries were rather urgent as to his where abouts, ho shrouded himself in the great metropolis. whence, when the fame of his banker's cheques, &C., had in some measure declined, he departed into Wales, and took with him a young female. The character he assumed was that of a lover of the picturesque, and he and his companion started the romantic tour of the Wye, which they pursued to gethcr for some distance, when the gentleman, while fishing in the above beautiful river, caught a violent cold, and was compelled to take to bed at an inn. A medical man was sent for, who at once informed the supposed wife that her husband's condition was hopeless, and that he was in fact on the very point of death. The female thereupon acknowledged that she was not a wife. and that her male companion was an entire stranger to her till they encountered each other a few weeks pre viously in London, and that she did not know who he was or who were his relatives.. The fears of the physi cian were soon realized —the stranger tourist died almost immediately, and on examining his luggage, in order to ascertain who his friends were, that the mournful event of his demise might be communicated to them, there were found the engraved copperplates of two address cards, in the well known names of Wyndham and Wellesley, together with an itinerary of the various towns and places which he had visited, with the names of the different banks, &c., which had honoured his f rau d u l ent cheques. W e believe the search also afforded information as to his real name and connexions; and we deeply regret that our tale shout, have to include the very melancholy incident that on his death being communicated to his sister, the effect was most seriously injurious to her feelings, and Lhe also died within a fortnight. We are also given to understand that the real name of the deceased swindler was Page; that ho was of very respectable connexions in the neigh. bouring county of Hereford, where he has a brother living in affluent circumstances, and of high reputation; and that the deceased was formerly in the army, whicl, accounts for his assuming so well the military cha racter, and for the knowledge of military persons and military incidents which he turned to so good account in his late dishonourable adventurous career. He was married, and has left a wife and two children in desti tute circumstances; but their misfortunes, we are happy to hear, have excited the sympathy of a female relative of the deceased, and she has undertaken to provide fot them. Thus ends, so far as we are able to disclose it, the " strange and eventful history " of the Hon Captain Wyndham, alias .Captain Wellesley, alias Mr. Page whose career affords another illu strat i on o f t h e way . wardness of human nature, and the misdirection of in genuity and talent to purposes of fraud acd dishont sty. which ingenuity and talent, properly applied, might have made their possessor an ornament to and a valuablt member of society; and the wretched termination of hi. career, " in the worst inn's worst room," an outcast from honourable society, and without relative or friend to soothe and. cheer his last moments, suggests a moral which we hope will not be entirely lost on others who are pursuing a similar career of duplicity and crime.— Gloucester Journal IMMENSE LOSS OF PROPERTY ON BOARD THE AJAX STEAMER. This noble ship returned to port this morning, alto experiencing the effects of the gale on Th urs da y n i g h t, and suffering much from its severity. Indeed were it not for the great strength and superior qua liti es o f t h e vessel, and the prompt and judicious exertions of her commander, Captain Mowle, it is most likely that very disastrous results would have followed. The Ajax left the quays at four o'clock on Thursday for London with a very large cargo, principally consist. jug of live stock and provisions. Until she had wel, cleared the harbour there were no indications of it coming on to blow hard, but about eleven o'clock al night, when she was forty miles from the land, the storm rose with tremendous fury, and heavy seas struck the vessel with such force as to tear away the bowsprit and smash in the forecastle deck. The stairs on the paddle boxes were at once carried away, and the flooring of the deck under the mate's berth also stove in. The vessel, having I, very heavy deck load of cattle, &c., it was found necessary that she should be lightened as much as possible, and accordingly out of 120 sheep on deck, all but nine wert thrown over board—the pigs were next thrown over to the number of ninety, and then as many as could be of the bullocks and cattle ; but from the terror and con fusion of the deck passengers, of whom there was an im mense number, sufficient assistance could not be had to throw them overboard, and the poor animals were killed or smothered. Out of ninety-three head of cattle on board only twenty were this morning landed alive. The fury of the gale continued till day-break, the ship be having nobly all through, when the captain put back and, laying to off the harbour all night, in consequence of the number of ships in Cove and the river, he arrived at the quays this morning, with all on board in a miserable plight. The poor passengers suffered the greatest ler hard ships, and their appearance when landing was most heart arenndditnhge,irm a li n m y b o s t tshvieonallebn from being bruised, crushed g i the i r cl to torn et during the greater part of the time. The deck re sembled one vast slaughter-house, animals of every kind lying dead and bleeding all about. The violence of the storm and the force with which the seas struck the ves sel may be judged of from the fact that one of the chain boxes, weighing six tons, was carried off the rail it is usually moved upon from one side of the deck to another, and thrown on two pigs, who were literally crushed to atoms under its weight. Men are all day employed un loading the dead cattle, and removing them. They were principally shipped, we understand, by Mr. Jas. Adams, though not all on his own account, and by Mr. P. Murphy and son, whose loss no doubt will be consider able. A great number of the cattle and sheep also be,- longed to Mr. Connolly, an extensive grazier and cattle dealer, near Kilmallock. Fortunately, no loss of human life occurred, and the injuries which the ship sustained are of a nature that will admit of being speedily re paired.l—Cork Southern Reporter of Saturday.

THE POSSESSION - of the LATERAN CHURCH. The solemn function to be celebrated on the Bth of next month, the taking possession of the Lateran is so peculiar in its nature, and so antique in the form in which his present holiness is about to restore it (his immediate predecessors having departed from the original) that we are sure some account of its institution will be reed with interest by all. The Lateran is considered the mother and head of all churches on earth, having been founded by Constantine the Great, and dedicated to the Saviour, to St. John the Baptist, and to the Evangelist of the same name. For merly the Popes resided in a palace adjoining-it, and after their coronation at the Vatican, used to return in procession, with all their court, to visit the sanctuary, and solemnly enter into the occupancy of their sacred office. Bence the origin of the function called the "possesso," which at first immediately followed the rite of corona tion, but after the pontiffs left the Lateran Palace, in con sequence of the unhealthy atmosphere to which it is t:x posed, a later occasion was fixed on for the formery cere mony. The earliest "possesso" of which we have a full Account, is that of Leo 111. in the ninth century, accord ing to the order of which the pontiff received the tiara (in form of a helmet of " white cloth," probably ailver tissue) at the foot of the stairs before the Vatican Basilica, whilst the priors, or chief magistrates of the civic districts, chanted three times in Latin, " Our Lord Pope Leo, whom St. Peter has elected in his chair, to sit therein many years." He then mounted his palfrey, and attended by all his court, passed through the crowded streets to the Luaeran. Some of the pontiffs were crowned out of Rome, but so important was the cere mony in the Lateran considered, that it always followed, as in the case of St. Silvester, who, after his coronation in the church of St. Mary of Collemaggio, without the walls, returned to the city on a white horse to celebrate the possession. The popes who resided at Avignon, of course dispensed with this rite, but a procession was substituted for it, in which, after receiving the crown, they passed through the city in great magnificence. When Clement the Sixth made this progress, the Duke of Ncrmandy, eldest son of the King of France, the Duke of Burgundy, and the Lord of Dauphiny, acted as his grooms. After the return of the Popes to Rome, we find the custom in use of throwing money to the people, who were allowed the privilege of taking possession of the horse, with its trappings, on which the pontiff had ridden, and of the canopy borne over his head. This practice gave rise to the most dangerous tumults, and similar lawlessness, whether from motives more malignant, actually proved fatal to two, Piusll. and Sixtus IV., after which the perquisites of the horse and canopy were with held. The accounts given of the magnificence of the progress from the Vatican at the time the procession was celebrated on the day of the coronation, are such as call the most stately picture before the imagination. The cardinals and prelates all rode in their mitres, copes, rochets, or other most solemn attire, the fantastic richness of the liveries worn by the lairs who assisted, the glittering of arms and waving of plumes, the spark ling of gems on the caps and collars of princes and ambassadors ; these were the details of the gorgeous accumulation. An ancient usage was then followed, of flaying the blessed sacrament borne in a golden ciborium, on the back of a richly caparisoned white mule, sur rounded by twelve assistants with great wax torches. En the ceremonial of Innocent VII. we read that as soon as the Pope left the Piazza of St. Peter's, a marshal of the court, called the soldano, bearing attached to his saddle two sacks of money, scattered the coin with both hands among the people, so skilfully that the more they thronged around, the farther off the specie was thrown, to prevent the impeding of the procession. The della ties of the Jews presented themselves on the way, with a copy of the Pentateuch, and thus addressed his holi ness:—" We, Hebrews, 0 most blessed father, in the name of our synagogue, supplicate your holiness to deign to confirm and approve the Mosaic law given on Mount Sinai, by the Omnipotent God, to our Pastor k. Moses, in the same manner as other supreme pontiffs, predecessors of your holiness, approved and confirmed it." The pope answered—" Ve praise the law, but .;ondemn the observance and intelligence in which you hold it; inasmuch as Him whom you say is yet to come, the church teaches and preaches in all lands, to be already come, and our Lord Jesus Christ." It was an incident Aaracteristic of these wild times (1484), that when Pope fnnocent was borne on the portative chair from the church of St. Clement, where he had left his horse, to ' the Lateran, the impetuosity of the people was so great, that the soldiers who carried him were driven into the church with a violence which placed the pontiff in no slight danger, and in their way to the portal from the high altar, many of the cardinals were thrown down before them. When the Pope was seated at the altar, the antiphon was raised "De Atercore erigit poperem," &c., to remind him that he owed his elevation to the provi dence of God, and not, like secular princes, to birth or ancestry. He then scattered copper money among the people, saying, " Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have will I give thee." After the ceremonies in the Lateran, he was taken to the adjacent chapel of St. Sil vester, and seated at the portal in a porphyry chair, where the prior handed to him a rod in sign of correc tion, the keys of the Basilica and of the palace, the sym bols of his apostolic power; and then girded him with a zone of red silk, from which hung a purse containing twelve jewels allusive to the apostles, and a porticn of musk, allusive to the words of St. Paul, " We are a sweet odour of Christ." _ . The " possesso" of Alexander VI. (1492) had sur passed all former ones, but the full blaze of splendour was reserved for that of the magnificent promoter of the intellectual interests of his age, the great Maecenas of the church, Leo X. This pontiff ascended the throne 1513, and from the beginning of his reign displayed that taste for the gorgeous which distinguished him no less than his generosity towards the intellectually gifted. He determined to ride in the procession to the Lateran on the horse that had borne him when taken prisoner, a year before, by the French, at Ravenna. He did not use the ,' trireyno" of his predecessor, Julius IL, but another of cloth of gold, with three circlets of gems, and decked with peacock's feathers. A crown of these feathers had been used also by Innocent 111. (1198), their introduc • tion being intended to convey a symbol of the transi toriness and, apart from divine aid, the feebleness of all earthly power. In the procession of Leo, coins of gold and silver were profusely scattered amongst the people; two hundred horsemen in white and red livery opened the train ; then followed the servants of the cardinals and a hundred signors of the houses of Orsini, Colonna, and others ; then musicians, grooms, chamberlains, standard-bearers, two figures of Cherubim borne aloft on poles, the Gonfalonieri of the Roman people, of the Knights of the Teutonic Order, and those of the Order of Jerusalem, the standard of the church, borne by the Duke of Murone, the horses of the papal stud, legates, nobles, princes, and other assistants. The palfrey bear ing the blessed sacrament, surrounded with torches and shaded by a canopy sustained by eight Roman citizens, preceded the more solemn train of ecclesiastics, with the canters of the papal chapel, and other officials. After his body guard, rode the Pope, under a canopy, his bridle held for the first stage of the journey by the Duke of Ferrara, and the last in the pageant was the bearer of the canopy called the " Umbrella pontificate," in complete armour, but bare-headed. As the procession moved, the collegiate bodies of the churches it passed presented themselves with censors and chanting of hymns. Altars had been erected in the streets, resplendent with tapers; and triumphal arches, with devices in which mythology Was sometimes blent with Christian imagery. One of the above-mentioned arches presented, at one façade, a figure of Apollo, between two fountains of wine, and on the other, Christ giving the keys to St. Peter. Another presented the statues of Numa Pompi- Hue and Antoninus Pius, two of the wisest monarchs of ancient Rome with the inscription, "Non de casorunt numero, fusoque cruore, sed de sperata pace trophea damns." On another were bas-reliefs, representing kings and princes embracing each other, children burning the weapons of war;with their torches, in appropriate allusion to the peaceful auspices which greeted the new reign. According to the rubrics for all these occasions, the procession, on reaching the Gesi Church, turns in the direction of the Capitol, where the senator of Rome, at tired in purple and cloth of gold, with a jewelled collar and a sceptre of ivory, attended by his judges, officials, and guards, receives his Holiness kneeling, and, in a brief Latin address, promises him obedience and fealty in the name of all the senate and people of Rome ; to which his Holiness replies in the same lan guage. Descending the Capitol, the cortege passed for merly under an arch whose erection was the hereditary duty of the Dukes of Parma, and afterwards of the King of Naples, the heir of their property; and in later times, instead of the presentation of the Scriptures, the Jewish deputies were admitted to pay homage to the supreme pontiff in the " Campo Vaccino," and after wards, for motives of convenience, at the Arch of Titus, the memorial of their overthrow, a strikin;ly signifi cant, if accidental, arrangement. The ceremonies within the church have long been observed according to an in variable order, whether the use of horses in the pr, ces sion was dispensed with or not. (Amongst all the Popes, only nineteen are recorded to have g one otherwise than on horse-back.) The chapter of the Lateran meet his holiness outside the church, with two crosses and two pavilions borne before them , implying the pre-eminency of their church over all others, " Orbis Ecckstarzan Mater." After receiving their homage, .his holiness enters the portal, kneeling at its threshold to kiss a golden cross, presented by the cardinal arch-priest, hen ascends a throne, where, after vesting for the rites within the ch u r c h, the same cardinal presents him with the keys of the Ba silica, one gold , t he other silver, in a gilt basin filled with flowers, addressing . him, at the same time in L a ti n . Th e clergy of the Basilica then pay homage, an d hi s holiness is carried into the church on the portative throne, first to the altar of the blessed sacrament, w h ere a ll k ne el to adore, whilst the Tc Deum is sung, afterwards to the high altar, for a second actof worship before the relics of St. Peter and St. Paul: thence he passes to the throne in the tribune, and on receiving the obeisance of the car dinals, places in the mitre of each the " presbyterio," a do nation of two medals of gold and silver. The first cardi nal priest, with the auditors of the ikta and Concis torial Advocates, then passes to the altar, where the lauds, " Exaudi Christe, 6-c." are sung. His holiness then repairs to the seme altar, and gives the benedic tion, leaving a purse of silver money as the accustomed offering at the confessional, or shrine of the apostles. The cardinal deacon then places the triple crown on his head, and re . ascend in g the portative throne, he is borne to the loggia of the grand facade, where the benediction is given to the people in the usual form. The procession retur ns to the apostolic palace . in the same order.— Abridgedfrom time Roman Advert i ser of October 24.

REGULATIONS OF THE FRENCH RAILWAYS. The Moniteur of the 18th November contains a royal ordonnance, issued on a report of the Minister of Public Works, fixing the general regulations that are herce forth to be observed by all railway companies in working their lines. This ordonnance contains not less than 78 articles, referring to the several sections of the way ; working stock ; the composition of trains ; the depar ture, circulation, and arrival of trains ; fares ; superin tendence of working; regulations relating to passengers; and general arrangements. The following are the principal points referred to : " The Way.—The stations are to be considered part of the public domain, and as such to be regulated by the superior authorities. The entrance, the circulation, and the standing of public or private carriages aro to be subjected to the decisions of the Minister of Public Works. The repairs of the way and of the works depending on it, though evidently at the discretion of the companies are to be made known to the Government authorities who can interfere when anything is unsatisfactory. The crossings and passages on the line are to be subjected to government regulations, particularly in what relates to the barriers required for the latter. High embank ments, viaducts, and bridges over rivers and streams, are to be defended by strong parapets. All stations, passages on the level, &c., are to be well lit up. " The Working Stock.—Locemotives are in the first instance to be subjected to certain prods of strength, for the boilers, axletrees, wheels, &c. They are to be provided with an apparatus to catch the pieces of coke falling from the furnace, so as to prevent their reaching the ground. Every means must also be employed to prevent sparks from issuing from the funnel, whereby property along the line has, from time to time, been set on fire and consumed. The report regrets that the grating at present in use is not found to be efficient. Axle-trees aro in all cases to be made of wrought-iron of the first quality. " Composition of Trains.—All companies are bound to furnish a sufficient number of carriages of every descrip tion to supply the wants of each station. The hours fixed by the company for departure are to be rigorously observed. As the public, in a great measure are depen dent on railways for their mode of transport, these two regulations are absolute on all companies whatever ; when any exception to this rule is permitted, as in the case of direct trains, it is the government authorities who must regulate the matter. In cases of 4:e or extraordinary movement from one point to another, the company is obliged to provide an additional and suffi cient number of carriages of every class ; the number of carriages for a sigle train is not to exceed 24, and this is to be considered rather as the exception than the rule. Double locomotives are permitted, as otherwise trains would be multiplied to a dangerous extent. But when ever the second locomotive is employed, the cause of such proceeding must be entered in a book. No matters liable to explosion are to be transported in a train in which passengers are carried. A means of communica tion must always be established between the conductor and the engine-driver. " Departure, Circulation, and Arrival of Trains.—A number of articles refer to the measures of precaution to be used in starting trains at proper hours, so as to leave a sufficient time between each ; the maximum of speed ; the precautions to be taken in passing through tunnels, &c.; they also regulate the passage of extraordinary trains ; the obligation of communicating by signals ; and the general superintend ence of the line. Registers are to be kept at every station for marking down the causes of all delays. No train is ever to leave before the hour appointed in the printed lists. " Fares.—The conditions of the concession generally regulate the tariffs, but a company may lower its prices, if it thinks fit, subject, however, to the condition of keeping them so, for a certain time. As a g eneral rule, however, no changes whatever can be made by the company without first submitting them to the govern ment authorities. Railways that have been conceded prior to 1835 will not be subject to these, regulations until April 1, 1847. Equality of charge is to be strictly enforced, as - otherwise the companies could become unjust to one locality at the expense of another. " Superintendence of Working.—This section,'which has been already in great measure anticipated by the Railway ' Police Bill, dwells on the appointing royal commissaries and their functions. It is unnecessary to do more than simply refer to this part of the report, since its chief provisions are already known to the public. "Regulations Relating to Passengers.—All persons unconnected with the company and the service are for bidden to enter the premises of a railway without per mission, or to stand or circulate, or to place there objects of any kind, or to introduce horses, dogs, or other animals, or to cause vehicles of any kind to circu late there. Government authorities are an exception to this clause. Passengers are not to lean out of carriages, or pass from one to another, or carry loaded firearms, or leave a carriage when in movement ; the other prescrip tions are generally similar to those in force for common carriages. " General Arrangements.—No person can sell any thing within the precincts of a station without permission from the authorities. When a line crosses several de partments the attributions conferred by the present regulations on the several prefets may be concentrated in one. Every person employed by a railway company must wear a uniform, in order that the public may at once see, in case of need, to whom they are to apply. Signal-men, guards, and barrier keepers may wear a sabre. At each station a book must be kept to receive the complaints of passengers. Copies of the present regulations are to be constantly kept placarded in all stations ; copies are alo to be given to each person em ployed, and whatever relates to passengers is to be hung up in each carriage." OTAIIEITE.—The following memorial to Lord Pal. merston, on the subject of French interference in Otaheite, was adonted at a public meeting held in the Town-hall of Tewkesbury on Friday last, the mayor in the chair:— " We the inhabitants of the borough of Tewkesbury and its vicinity, beg leave to express to your Lordship our deep sympathy with the Queen and Christian people of Otaheite, in their sufferings under the dominion of the French in that island, and the contiguous island of Eimeo. That whilst we are anxious most carefully to avoid any movement which might by possibility embroil the respective Governments of France and England, we do most earnestly entreat her Majesty's Government to adopt such measures, through negotiation or otherwise, as shall by• specific mutual guarantees ensure to the inhabitants of the Society Islands, namely, Raiatea, Taahaa, Boroboro, Huahine, and Maupiti, the peaceable and permanent possession of their native soil. We moreover urgently implore your Lordship to obtain from the French Government a positive and explicit p!edge that any portion of "the Otabeitian population who may be disposed to retire from that island and from Eimeo shall be empowered so to do, without molzstation or subse quent interference with their persons or property." At the Castle of Exeter, on Friday last, Mr. Mat thew Cheriton, of whom it was said in Court that he has an annual income of 901. a year, besides being possessed of property to the amount of 700/, was convicted of stealing turnips from a field in the occupation of_ Mr. Blake, in the parish of Kenton. He was detected in the very act of pulling the turnips and putting them intabis hag, and all he could offer in defence was that he had not removed them.from the field. The Court very properly dwelt' on the enormity of the case, looking at the state of his circumstances, and sentenced him to be impri soned one calendar month, and kept to hard labour,--- "F alnwiith Paner. 1% - 3/4 3% 10 1 / 8 121% T 5 ..... 15 11' YORK, NOVEMBER 23.

The usual preliminaries having been arranged, and the new colours placed in front of the square on a drum head, the garrison chaplain, the Rev. G. P. Bennett, proceeded to delivet a few remarks pre vious to the presentation taking place. It would be im possible to conceive anything more chaste and classical that the elcquent speech made by the reverend gentle man on this occasion ; his address and enunciation were the theme of universal admiration. This done, the chaplain proceeded to deliver a short prayer in consecrat ing the new colours. Immediately after the Lieutenant- General addressed the soldiers in an able and heart stirring speech, reverting to the former noble deeds of the gallant corps, which was well responded to by Lieu tenant-Colonel Ashmore, in a [short but appropriate speech, in which he thanked the Lieutenant-General on his own part and that of the regiment, for the very hand some terms in which he had spoken of the corps. The usual forms having been gone through, this interesting ceremony was concluded by three cheers for the Queen, and three cheers for the regiment, to which was added three cheers more by request of the Lieutenant-General, in honour of the ladies who had graced the happy scone that day with their presence. At two o'clock a magnifi cent de jeuner a la fourchette was prepared in the mess room, to which nearly three hundred of the neighbour ing nobility, clergy, and gentry sat down, on the invi tation of the officers of the regiment. The tables groaned with the viands, and every delicacy that the season could afford ; sparkling Burgundy and hock liberally circu lated, and the attention and urbanity displayed by the ladies of the regiment, and the officers also, were most conspicuous, each vying with the other in attention and devotion to their guests. The company separated at three o'clock, but re-united again at six o'clock in the evening, when dancing, polkainz, waltzing, &c., were res'rted to, and the day's festivity was closed by a most magnificent supper. Thus ended a day's amusement, which will be longremembered in the garrison of Weedon. —Northampton Mercury.

EXECUTION OF AN IRISH SEA. MAN IN THE AMERICAN NAVY. We copy the following from a New York paper. The unfortn,late 'victim to the extreme penalty of martial law was an Irisbman, who, after great provocation, knocked down a lieutenant of the American vessel on board of whicit he_had entered 4 " Off Vera Cruz, Sept. 1846. " On the 17th inst. I was one o f t h e edified -witnesses of the supremacy of the law over natural right. A, sailor named Samuel Jackson, belonging to the sloop St. Mary's, was hanged at the foreyard arm, pursuant to the sentence of a court-martial, before whom he had been tried for striking a man named Taylor, one of the officers of that ship. The preparations for the execution were numerous and solemn, at regular programme having been issued by Commodore Connor, and circulated through the squadron several days previously. Labour inthedifferent vessels was forbidden for the day, and the crews were directed to assume their holiday attire. At 11 A.M., the signal, prepare to execute the sentence of the Court. martial,' was displayed at the mizen of the Cumberland, when a yellow flag was hoisted at the foreyxtrd-arm of the St. Mary's. The officers and crews of all the vessels at the anchorage were then mustered on deck, and dis tributed in such places as would best enable them to take as much of the spectacle in view as possible. _Here they were kept on the tipt oe o f ant i c i pat i on for more than halt' an hour, when the same signal that I had before mentioned was hoisted, without the preparative,' and the curiosity of the spectators was very materially en hanced thereby. In a few moments more the victim made his appearance on the topgallant forecastle of the St. Mary, attended by two or three officers and the mas ter-at-arms of the ship, and by the Rev. F. W. Taylor, chaplain of the Cumberland. Stepping over the fore castle railing of the Scaffold, which had been erected there for the occasion, the prisoner seated himself on the railing, apparently on account of nervous deficiency. " The machinery fitted for the principal act was simple, but strong and effective. A thick rope was rove through a block at the yardarm, leading along the yard into the foremast, where it rove through another block, and made fast to a weight of near four hundred pounds. After some additional minutes of suspense had been in flicted upon the thousands of spectators, a flash issued from the gun over which the scaffold bad been raised, and at the same instant a human form was seen flying in a curved liue through the air with astonishing velocity. When the body reached the yardarm, so great had been the impulse that the check threw it perpendicularly into the sir, feet upwards; and rebounding against the fore lifts,' it, passed over the fore brace, split the halter block, and then, after a few violent vibrations, it assumed the usual dangling attitude of a hanging man." AGITATION NOT REQUISITE FOR POPULARITY. It has been said from days of yore that popularity could not be obtained in the political world unless by agitation. In the memorable year 1829, though his Grade of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel carried the measure of honourable amelioration towards the Rea man Catholics, still they were far from being popular in its usually understood phrase. In 1840, and years prior, the consummate skill and talent of Sir Robert were acknowledged by many learned and disinterested persons, still, being the chief of a powerful party, the leader of a haughty aristocrocy, many of whom had virulently opposed the people, he (Sir Robert) was vicwed with suspicion by the masses. His connexions ruined him. But, when 1846 dawned, when the speech of his life was delivered, thereby shipwrecking the ill directed power of an intolerant party for ever—whost the malignancy of an oligarchy had no limits, when the Premier was truly sacrificing the sovereignty of power by a conscientious concession, when he spoke with dig nified eloquence, rebuking, convicting, and calmly ex posing with the terrible force of a master•spirit, the sophistries, slanders and mis-statements of his defamers, the people were amazed ; they marvelled at his temerity, they wondered at his exhibition of manly firmness, his noble bearing when savagely bearded by nobles (I); they stood astounded at his continued adherence to them going to work, at their meals, or returning from work, he was the theme ; the contest raged in Lords and Com mons, and calumny bitterly assailed Peel ; the people were intently watching • the final night arrived ; rancour poured out its vials, and the recipients of mono poly ran the gauntlet of shameful invention; Peel's hour had come; the people were waiting the fate of their measure with painful anxiety; Peel's speech was delivered, shattering, crumbling, pulverising, and destroying all the advanced opposition, and electrifying with astonish ing effect even his antagonists with the attainments and qualifications of his mind and unbounded researches; the people hailed him with raptures; he reigned in their hearts and became the most popular man of the day without one attempt at agitation.—From a Correspondent. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Charles Benson Breary, a medical gentleman, suing at 73, Great Portland-street, was summoned be- ore Mr. Hardwick, for an assault on Thomas Read. The complainant said he had two subpoenas to serve on the defendant's brother, who lived at 73, Great Port land-street. On the 16th inst. he went to the defend ant's house, and on knocking at the door was admitted. Having reason to believe that the party whom he was in search of was in the house, he went up stairs to the first floor, and opened a door, which he closed immediately, on discovering that it was a bedroom. Complainant opened the drawing-rocm door, but seeing two ladies in the room he apologised, and was going down stairs, when the defendant suddenly rushed at him, seized him by the collar, and threatened to kick him down stairs. The defendant then attempted to force him down stairs, and in the struggle used much violence, and hurt one of his hands. Complainant told him he was a process server, and had two subpoenas to serve on his brother. Complainant produced the copy and the original, to show that he had authority for his proceedings. The de fendant, however, continued his attempts to force him down stairs, and called to his servant to fetch a police constable. The defendant ultimately left him, and went out of the house to get, as he said, the assistance of the police. Complainant waited in the hall for about ten minutes, but finding no one came he left the house. Mr. Breary, in defence, said, the complainant was told that his brother was not within. Without mention ing his business, he said he would go into every room in the house to satisfy himself ; and he ran up stairs and opened the door of more than one room. Defendant went after him, and insisted on his quitting the house instantly, as he had an invalid patient under his care who would be inconvenienced by his conduct. As the complainant took upon him to open the doors of the rooms in his house, he (defendant) conceived he had a just right to prevent such intrusion, and he certainly did lay hold of the complainant's collar to move him down stairs, but without striking or otherwise assaulting the complainant. He (defendant) wished to know whether the complainant was authorised to enter his house and search over it, on the plea that he was serving a legal process ? Indeed, his opinion of the affair was that he was the aggrieved party, and that he ought to have sought for redress by law against the complainant. The complainant's witness proved that the defendant used considerable violence towards the complainant. The defendant's witness said, the complainant was told that Mr. Edward Breary was not at home ; but he would not pay attention to this denial, and he made his way up stairs. Mr. Humphries said a small fine would meet the jus tice of the case. Mr. HAnowicK thought that too much violence had been used by the defendant. The complainant, how ever, was not free from blame in his proceedings, be having adopted a course likely to produce irritation. As more than justifiable violence had been used, he should inflict a fine of 205., and costs. b. WORSHIP-STREET. Anamed pihsnCtallifeds eird: wasthe placed a tradesman youngman m i n - street, the bar before Mr. Bingham , charg ed with assaultin g n of a at and wounding police-constable Norman, of the II divi sion, in the execution of his duty. It appeared from the evidence of the constable, who had been confined to his bed for more than a week, and exhibited marks of severe reeent injuries, that he was on duty in Commercial-street, Whitechapel, between twelve and one on the morning of Monday se'nnight, when he was directed by his sergeant to proceed and quell a dis turbance which had arisen in Flower and Dean-street. On reaching there he found the prisoner in the custody of some other officers, through the hand of one of whom, as he was told by a bystander, he had just drawn a knife. Finding, however, that his assistance was not required, he returned back to his beat, and shortly afterwards saw the prisoner, who appeared to have escaped from the constables approaching, sur rounded by a riotous mob, and he attempted to secure him. The prisoner, however, on observing his inten it tl h m s : instantly struck him a violent blow on t he eye an7l ren dered stone, which sent him reeling backwar ds er shim self, hhei wmasasrapidlypowerless;struck and, be forward fore he t could ai r n e c b ov e a r n 0 11 a g y the back of his head, and felled to the ground in e a violent blow from some instrument On being restored to consciousness, 1 is usta_.sesnit hta ee state e, and that his souonfdins thatcn insensibility.

Policeman 198 H proved that at four o'clock that morning he apprehended the accused, whom he found in bed at his his house in Fashion-street, having pre viously seen him escaping from another constable,whom he had likewise assailed; and three other officers gave almost equally direct testimony, and positively swore to the identity of the prisoner, with whose person one of them had been acquainted for several years. Mr. Heritage, who appeared for the defence, said that, notwithstanding the positive manlier in which his client ha'l been sworn to by the police, he was instructed to give a total denial to the charge, and had seven or eight witnesses in attendance, who would prove that the con stables were altogether mistaken in their identification of the prisoner, who, although he had certainly ouL be t e hg n ee a p rf r e r s a e y n , t had a d s tak s e pato n ec n t op r at part t the whatever commencementinthe actual outrage which had afterwards been committed.
