The dwarfs are three in number, two males and a emale (brothers and sister) ; they are fully equipped in the High land garb, and perform a series of national, martial, and festive dances. The two males, who are remarkably active, excel in the celebrated Glue Coullam, or Sword Dance ; and so extraordinary is the muscular development of the eldest that he can with ease carry two 561 b. weights about the room. He and his brother exhibit all the positions of the broadside exercise with a precision that would do honour to the first school of fence. And in addition to their other accomplishments, they, in conjunction with their sister, sing the beautiful airs of their native glens with exquisite taste and feeling. As Mr. Mackenzie. who has these singular creatures under his protection, can (in consequence of his other engagements) remain but a short time in town, the admirers of the wonderful in nature are requested to pay an early visit.

The Committee of Management have great pleasure in re ferring the Shareholders to the Report of the Committee of the House of Commons, unanimously deciding that the preamble of the Leices ter and Bedford Railway Bill has been satisfactorily established before them. The Committee of the House of Commons arrived at this unani mous decision after an investigation of nearly three weeks, during which period every effort was made by the Midland Company to procure the rejection of the Leicester and Bedford in favour of their own scheme—the South Midland. The very strenuous and protracted endeavours of the Midland Company to obtain a line of railway over the same ground as that occupied by the Leicester and Bedtord Company, afford most satis factory proof of the commercial importance of the line, and its value as a permanent investment to the Shareholders. The Committee of Management have also the pleasure to inform the Shareholders, that they are in a position to comply with the Standing Orders of the House of Lords requiring a deposit of 10/. per cent., without making any further call upon the Shareholders.

THE CORN BILL. having a great soldier in the Cabinet, and a Fie We can never sufficiently appreciate the advantage? lodf Marshal in the House of Lords. It immensely facili tates the .mechanical process of change. Nothing is so desultory—so apt to clog its own movements —so blind to its destiny—so apt to waste its resources—as a legis lative crowd. The moment they are frightened they get into a heap, and begin to tread on one another 's toes. They are too great for the drill.' For many more important reasons, therefore, than that particularised by the Roman Emperor, it is desirable that a Senate should have one head. The Duke of Wellington supplies in the Lords that important disideratum. After a due m i amount shi og and o r d e reconnoitering, teri n preliminaries,feeling, n matures mishing, iaro in politic silence. Just on the eve of struggle he informs his Generals what they must do. Aides-de-camp fly with his orders. Chiefs listen te his instructions, No matter how little the soldier, or the officer, or even the commander of a division, knows of the general plan. It is theirs to hear and obey. If the Peers threaten to be rather too high and mighty, or if they show indications of jibbing, there is a reserve w hich will either supply their places or push them on. The Brobdignag Duke pulls out of his pocket fifty mannikin Peers, who count for as much as the best for this kind of warfare. The affair goes off with all the grace and composure of a parade. The word of command is all that they wait for. Attention ! Right about ! And they all are converted by intuition, and turned by instinct. The people are at the same time edified by a revolution and entertained with a spectacle. It is really quite a lesson —whether in the art military or the art politic, is not at first discernible—to hear the Duke addressing his comrades. " I beg leave," he says, " to point out to your Lordships, that it is your duty to consider well the consequences of any vote that you may give upon this subject—to consider well the situation in which you place this House." , That is the sitiestimil9r / the Lords. There is a delightful, a scientific simplicity in this way of putting the case. We do not find a word here, or indeed in all the rest of the speech, in the smallest degree allusive to the merits of the ques tion, or even to its subject. The Bill might be one for swallowing Polk's insolence and giving up Ore gon, or the abolition of all duty on tobacco, or a great central railway terminus in Waterloo-place, or the confiscation of half the property of the Peers, for anything that appears in the speech. The corn-laws are as rigorously excluded from it as the Ten Command ments are from a schoolboy's theme. He gives the pure mathematics of the question. " Consider well the consequences." " Consider the situation in which you place this House." His Grace adds an expression which speaks the very soul of military discipline. No member is to consult his own opinion, his own safety, or his own reputation, but to identify himself with the House. A soldier is a unit in the army, a Peer is a unit in the Duke's branch of the Legislature. " Nay," he says, "it is the duty of each to place himself in the situation of the House before he determines to give his vote, and to consider what would be, under all circumstances, the consequence if the House were to follow the course he may be about to do on this occasion." We beg most entirely to concur in this advice, and entertain no doubt that it expresses the true theory of a legislative vote, so far as regards the duty of a member to put himself in the situation of the House. There are Peers, we cannot help thinking, who have consulted their party or their pique by giving an adverse vote, though nothing would perplex them so much as to find the Lords placed in collision with the Commons and the people of England. Yet, as the Duke puts it, it does rather merge the man in the army. His Grace then reminds his bearers that he has once before advised them to beat a retreat, and he implies that they retreated with success. At any rate they saved their lives and their coronets. Like the judicious warrior in " Hudibras," they have lived to fight another day, and, as in the former instance, to run away also. The Duke encourages them to hope that a repetition of this movement will be accompanied with equal ad vantage. This, in fact, is pretty nearly all that he has to say. So he says it again :—" I beg of your Lordships to look a little to the measure upon which you are about to vote." This seems to promise a word or two on " the merits." No such thing. The nature of the inspection is explained by the rest of the sentence :—" and the consequences likely to follow from a rejection of that measure." The Lords are to lock at the measure a little, and pass it, just as you make a shying horse look at a wheelbarrow a little and pass it. The inspection is not to be tediously long, or superfluously inquisitive. But, on the principle, we suppose, that abundans can tela non nocet, the Duke repeats his warning for the fifth or sixth time, without concerning himself much to diversify the langnage : —"I ask your Lordships to look at the manner in which this measure has come before you, and consider what is likely to follow from your re jecting it." What those consequences will be he states clearly enough, but we fancy we can just trace a little tenderness and unsteadiness of touch when he comes to describe the state of things which renders these conse quences inevitable. "My Lords, this measure was re commended by a speech from the Throne ;"—written, his Grace might have added, " by my Right Honourable Friend in the other H0u1e?”......" t passe el by a sessesettsesse.ss-ssmse ot Commons. My _Noble krienu has said in the course of this debate, this vote of the House of Commons is inconsistent with the original vote given by the House of Commons on this same question, and inconsistent with the supposed views of the constituents by whom they were elected. My Lords, I do not think that is a subject which this House can take into its consideration; for, first, we can have no accurate knowledge of the fact; and, in the next place, whether it was a fact or not, this, my Lords, we know — that it is the House of Commons that has passed this Bill. . . . That we know by the votes of the House of Commons." Now, this is much ado about nothing, for the purpose of disguising something. The Duke insists on the measure being recommended by the Crown and passed by the Commons ; both of which are by no means extraordinary occurrences, and neither of which is usually considered to bind the hands of the Lords. He parades the " facts " of the case, the votes of the House of Commons, and all that, and then pretends that the Lords have nothing to do with the supposed views of the constituency. Have they not ? On the contrary, in the clear still depth of his Grace's own sound understanding the views of the constituency —of the great and enlight enkl majority of the people —are the reason why his Grace gives way, and recommends the same course to the Lords. He knows that the people are not against, but for the measure. He knows also, better than we could tell him, that the formidable " consequences " which he mentions a dozen times over, viz., the collision of the two Houses, the introduction of another Bill, the forcible passage of that other Bill through the Lords, and the irremediable damage done thereby to the Upper House, would not arise from the mere accident of a temporary agreement between a speech from the Crown and a re corded vote to the House, but from the fact that that speech and that vote were backed by an irresistible power of public opinion and public determination. His Grace contrives to elude this fact. The views of the constitu ency cannot be ascertained, he says, and whatever they are to have nothing to do with them. He has more to do with them than he chooses to confess. If there were no other votes in the case than a Royal speech and a vote of the Commons, he might safely recommend the Lords to do what was right in their own eyes without fear of the consequences. His race's discussion of the " consequence" is so thoroughly en militaire that it deserves at least a place in his dispatches, whatever its propriety in his legisla tive compositions. " I beg to remind you, my Lords, that you ought not to take a position on which you cannot stand, on which you can do nothing." Most excellent advice ! Would that it were more generally followed. Nine-tenths of the follies and miseries that surround us would have been avoided if people bad only considered how they were to get out of the scrape before they got into it. Will his Grace allow us to suggest a trifling addition to this golden rule ?—viz., that you ought not to make an advance in which you cannot persevere, and every step of which you will have to re trace. The Duke, and his friend in the Commons, have now for three or four times, completed very long, difficult, costly, and fatal political marches, in spite of the re monstrances of the wisest advisers, with no other result than an uncommonly quick and disastrous retreat. with han the in D a u le k s e s ,s numberdsi dispatch. of weeks.

My Lords, I ave g fromrea t the confidence Crown in ask you to reflect what must be the immediate consequence of your rejecting this Bill." Now, we must say that we think the Lords do not owe much to his Grace for the peculiar and very gratuitous footing on which he has placed their acquiescence. He has made it a mere capitulation for fear of " the conse quences." They might be supposed accessible to reason. He has not vouchsafed them one argument about the corn-laws. They might value his own opinion. He has assigned no other ground for his own conversion than the very irrelevant and dangerous one, that he was bound to his Sovereigns by peculiar motives of gratitude, which obliged him to do all the mischief that his Sove reigns, present or future, might possibly ask at his hands. lie might have suggested to the Lords that there was some authority in the voice of the people, that an opinion advanced with so much force,eloquence, discretion, and, above all, with so marvellous and noble a peace ableness, could not be far wrong. On the contrary, he studiously blinked the people. He might have recom mended that modesty of thought which makes the humble and the sensible distrust their own judgment when they find themselves alone in their opinion, which is the supposed foundation of that unanimity requirs d in our juries, and without which society must soon be dis solved. He might have urged that the cause was not sacred, that the sliding scale was not an article of f aith, that in a matter of mere commercial opinion it was right for comparatively uninformed men to submit to sound practical au thorities.

To this certificate must be annexed a certifi cate from the French medical man, especially appointed for that purpose, stating the particulars regarding the general health in the country, of the passengers and the crew, as likewise the healthy state of the vessel at her departure. " 2. This bill of health is not to be regarded as clean if, at the time of the departure of the vessel, a pestilence existed or was imminent in the country. " 3. The bill is likewise to be deemed unclean (crute) if individual cases of plague (pestes sporadiques)are of a nature, either from their number or their intensity, to en gender fears for the propagation of the disease. "4. In every other case the bill of health is to be re garded as clean. " 5. Provisionally, and until experience, which we deem indispensable, as well as regards the public safetyas inter national relations, having been resolved in a satisfactory manner evident to all, the question of conveyance, the trunks containing the linen, the clothes and goods of the passengers and the crew, are to undergo fumigation dur ing the transit, or are to be sealed at the place where they are shipped, to be opened in a French lazaretto ; the passengers and sailors are only to be allowed to retain such clothes as may be actually necessary during the voyage."

" 8. If duing the voyage the vessel puts in at any port, ' the certificates given at the port of departure are to be viewed by the medical man attached to the board of health of the place, who is to add his remarks on the state of health of the place and of the neighbourhood. This certificate, if deemed requisite, is to be countersigned by the consul. "9. The medical man on board is to keep an exact memorandum of any communications he may hear on tothe at board, state swe of health. well asofany important circumstance relative " 10. As regards those vessels which have no medical man on board, the Minister of Commerce will draw out special instructions for the masters, indicating the symptoms of the pestilence, the remedies to be applied, the measures to be taken to prevent contagion, and the spreading of the disease. " 11. These masters are to note down any remarks or communications they may receive during the passage, or at the intermediate ports, as well as a statement of any illness on board; these notes to be written day by day as the occasion may require." PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN ON THE IEXICO and the UNITED STATES. 1 The bombastic President Polk has at length had the felicity of inditing a war message to Congress, craving f6r " two regiments of volunteers, and other levies of an equally forrnidAble kind, to resist the hostile purposes o f the Mexicans." The President, however, makes out but a; poor case. - The Mexicans, it seems, refused to re ceive an American envoy. This is surely no casus belli. The other grief is that the Mexicans keep up an army 1 on the banks of the Rio Bravo. Why, they have had pbsts there for these number of years. And even sup- Posing the Americans had a rightful title to Texas, it is not apparent how this should render it a crime for the Mexicans to garrison Matamoras. The territory intervening between the Rio Bravo and the Texas Nueces has been long a disputed territory between and he adjoining provinces. notwithstandin g this dispute, t did not occupy this territory the Mexican commander Hi thebut kept on his own side of the Rio del Norte.American commander done the same, and kept at the Corpus Christi, on the Nueces, contented with protecting eivse. andßut G-e- Linder seized the n territory from iqvasion, no collision could have take place, for the Mexicans remained strictly on the defensive. nbral Taylor not only crossed the Nuec the whole of the disputed territory, but, idle plea, he proceeded al so to blockadeNlatatriso°l-ne, and cut it off from the sea. I n thi s , General Ta3;l a .:i s • vkantonly commenced hostilities ; as, i n d ee d, the Whi .s apd the Senate are prepared to maintain, as th e y i ns i st tsat he should not have gone beyond Corpus Christi. Qollisions having taken place, it was impossible to re ftltse the vote of levies and ofdAmoney, although the 1 Wading members of the Senate, Coltoun amongst others, pl•otested that the country could not consider it self at war. The united bodies of Congress could, indeed, alone de clare that. War, however, it is, if President Polk chooses tct make it so. This he seems scarcely prepared to do upon t e land frontier of the Rio del Norte. He way, h )w -ever, give orders to the fleet in the Gulf to operate on te coast, or to whatever vessels are on the Pacific, to seize Monterey or the forts of California. And, as compensation for that unlimited store of grievance, which has been amassed on the supposed Wrongs done to American citizens by Mexico, Mr. Polk play insist on retaining such provinces or possessions. Federalist movements, too, may be got up at the same time, under American influence, to paralyse the efforts of the Mexican Government and facilitate the work of spoliation. Is Europe prepared to see Mexico thus dis niembered, and the autopsy made before her eyes ? It i 4 to be feared that such is the case. A serious means of effective war would alone be likely to make the Americans hesitate. And neither France nor England is prepared to volunteer in such a struegle.

LOWER PROVINCES.—Our latest advices from the Lower Provinces inform us that, in New Brunswick, a most destructive freshet had accompanied the breaking up of the ice above Fredericton, on the river St. John and its tributaries ; almost erery bridge of any conse quence between that city and Woodstock has been de stroyed. The great crash is said to have commenced at the French Village, twelve miles above Fredericton, Where dwelling houses, barns, horses, cattle, sheep, &c., were swept away ; and at Sugar Island, two miles lower, the destruction was still snore extnisive and ap piffling, elm trees, three feet in diameter, being snapt asunder, or bent like reeds by the irresistible force of the ice and water, while houses, barns, haystacks, cattle, &c., were borne down the current, or crushed to fragments and piled among the ice upon the shore. Upwards of one hundred buildings are said to have been destroyed ; and such was the feelings of alarm, even in Fredericton, that a greal amonnt of property was removed from the immediate vicinity of the river, and several families took up their abode on Maryland Hill, which oierlooks the city. No account of the amount of injury sustained above Woodstock had been received, though it Was known that two lives had been lost. From Fredric ton, downwards, the ice still continued strong for several miles. The House of Assembly of the Province has placed 12,0001. at the disposal of the Executive, to meet any emergency that may arise out of the dispute between Great Britain and the United States, concerning the Oregon question. The Assembly closed its session on the 14th instant, and was form ally prorogued to the first Tuesday in June, by the Lieutenant-Governor in person. The attention of the Assembly throughout the session has been devoted, almost exclusively, to the ordinary business of the country. A general election is expected to take place early in July. It seems now settled that the Now Cathedral is to be built at St. John, in perference to Fredericton.

The following resolution was carried by a vote of 14 to 2 : " Resolved, as the opinion of this Committee, that the House of Assembly has no confidence in Sir Henry Vere Huntly, Lieutenant-Governor of this Colony." It was resolved by the Assembly on Friday last, on the motion of Mr. Baldwin—That this House are of opinion that such an alteration should be made in the regula tions in the crown lands office, as will enable parties buying land from the original purchasers of any quantity not less than fifty acres, to have their purchases recog nised, and on production of the proper assignments, and tender of the sums due on such portions of land, that transfers to the assignees be made in the books of the Department, and that deeds in due course of time be issued to them. ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN 11ER MAJESTY'S SLOOP FANTOME AND A BARBARY PIRATE. Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated May 19 : " In the greatest haste I write you a brief account of a severe chastisement which has been inflicted by her Majesty's ship Fantome, 16, Commander Sir F. W. Nicholson, Bart., on the Moorish pirates, who have for some time been committing depredations in these Straits; but I am sorry to say not without casualties among the ship's company of the Fantome, a midshipman having been killed, and one of the lieutenants wounded, toge tber with a serjeant of marines and five seamen and marines. " You have already the intelligence communicated by Lloyd's agent of the seizure of a small British merchant brig, named the Ruth, by the pirates, off the coast of Barbary, and the escape of the crew in the boats, and that upon their representation the Fantome had left Gi braltar to endeavour to recover the vessel—a portion of the crew proceeding in the sloop of war to point out the locality of the miscreants. " It appears that the Fantome had little difficulty in finding the brig, and, seeing that they would have to fight for her, Captain Nicholson made his dispositions accordingly. He dispatche d the master and one party to get the vessel off, and, being fired upon by a large force collected on the shore, he pushed off in the boats, Under cover of the guns of the sloop, to occupy their attention. A lengthened engagement then took place, which lasted until the master and his party had got the Ruth off, and had recovered some of her valuable cargo. Captain Nicholson commanded in person, and he and his small party were opposed by very considerable num bers of the Moors, who armed with pistols, guns, and cutlasses, obstinately disputed his landing, and after wards his advance on the strand, some of them fighting with great bravery. A great many were killed by the crew of the Fantome, and a large number must have suffered from the guns of the sloop covering the launch ing of the ship, for I hear from an eye-witness that nothing could exceed the precision and exactness with which the firing was conducted. " From what I can learn the affair was a very gallant ono indeed, and was admirably conducted. The pirates had a great advantage over the Fantome's crew in point of arms ; their muskets carried twice as far as those of the seamen and marines. To this circumstance is to be ascribed the loss of Mr. Boys, the midshipman, who was a gallant and pro mising young officer, and lam informed isaeonnefa the captain in her Majesty's navy. H e was k y illed accom plished return of the boats to the sloop when th v their task, and under the sameseieree had eruemly wounded, stances the first lieutenant, Mr. Saunderson, w together with the colour- sergeantok p l ac e on the 12th of a a n s d four or five of the ship's company. The actionto May, at a point of the north coast of Barbary called Tre foreas, to the eastward of the Tetuan, was one of the most daring " The seizure of t Ihieasb,begen committed in the Mediter acts of piracy that ranean for several years, and when it is considered that in the strait a nd narrow passage' of the Mediter irt was nby which merchant vessels pass, the importance of the severe chastisement inflicted by Sir F. Nicholson an d his gallant officers and crew will be 11duly estimated, no t only in official , b ut in mercantile qua rt ers. _ THE MORNING MAILS. —In consequence of the many changes recently made in the Post-office by the further open ing of the several railways and the branches in connexion with them, the Postmaster-General yesterday caused to be issued an amended list of towns, bags to and from which are dispatched from and received at the General Post-office. The following towns have been added to the list in March last in this j ournal: —Newcastle-on -Tyne, Queen borough, Sheerness, Tiverton, and Tunbridge. The sub joined towns have not now bags forwarded—Newcastle (Staffordshire) and Accrington. POTAT )ES FROM NORWAY. —A cargo of forty tons of potatoes from Norway is announced for sale in the present week, in Monument-yard, as applicable either for seed or for consucaptio. ARRIVAL IN FRANCE. " 12. The commanders of vessels in the royal navy and of the post-office steamers having a medical man on board, are to remit to the competent authorities : " 1. The bill of health and annexed certificate received at the port they started from. "2. The journal kept by the medical man on board, stating any case of illness which may have occurred dur ing the passage. " The medical man on duty belonging to the Board of Health of the port where the vessel arrives, to whom the two above certificates are to be given, is to examine them carefully, and to certify the actual state of health of the crew and passengers, as well as the healthy state of the vessel, and is to make known the result of his investigations, in a report the form of which will be de noted by the administration " 13. On receipt of the bill of health and certificate given at the departure of the vessel, of the journal kept on board, and of the report of the medical man of the port arrived at, the competent authorities are to deter mine the duration of the quarantine, and if needs be, the special measures to be taken to prevent infection. " 14. For vessels having a medical man on board, coming from Egypt, Syria, or Turkey, with a clean' bill of health, the quarantine is to be fixed at ten days, dating from the departure of the vessel, if during the passage no symptoms of pestilence have manifested themselves. 15. dat " ifi Me th r d a e rst al nt . i t n u e re t i. to th be e ald fix t w at iseli fifceel h c:a b y i s allnlig peso.% - " 16. For merchantmen, not having a medical man on beard, a quarantine of ten days, dating from their ar rival, is to be prescribed if they have a clean bill of health. " 17. The same vessels arriving with an unclean' bill of health, but withont having had any symptoms of plague on board, are to undergo a quarantine of fifteen days, dating from their arrival, and the goods are to be disembarked. " 18. Any vessel, no matter what her bill of health may say, which, during the passage or on her arrival at a French port, has on board a person attacked by the pesti lence or by a suspicious disease, is to be submitted to a strict quarantine, the duration of which is to be deter ' mined by the sanitory authorities of the said port. " The passengers and crew are to be sent to the laza retto, and to undergo a quarantine not less than fifteen and not exceeding twenty days. " The goods to be disembarked and ventilated ; the vessel to be thoroughly ventilated, washed, cleaned, and purified, and is to remain empty at least for one month; persons are to be appointed to guard the vessel at a cer tain distance, but they are to be expressly prohibited, under whatsoever pretext, as well as every other per son, from going on board the vessel in quarantine. " 19. The baggag e and clothes sent to the lazaretto , having been sealed at the port of departure, are to be ventilated and purified in the manner deemed most ex pedient for preventing infection. " 20. Persons suffering from the pestilence are to re ceive at the lazaretto all that care and attention given in the best organised hospitals of the country." The Presse remarks as follows on the above conclu sions : "It is evident that the committee of the Academie de Medecine go as far as we do in the proposed system of reform, and they limit themselves to the adoption of the conclusions, and to giving their support to the in cessant appeals of MM. Auber, Roche, and Alexis de Valon. We shall only remark upon two articles, which we deem altogether inadmissible. Some practical know ledge was wanting to the Academie de Melecine. If a merchant, or other person qualified, had formed part of the committee, they would never have admitted Arti cles 5 and 19, relative to the sealing of the merchandise; this would be a source of needless delay, embarrassment, and trouble, and would be of the greatest prejudice to our steamers. "Article 17, which specifies a strict quarantine of fif teen days, and the disembarking of the merchandise, on Iw o 0. n og y ui cl v d, es it n s e e n l ad art to s uppress scientifici u n p g p re with sps o point n t uncleancomm e rce ife v iew.rc e with bill of etshi the eas t e e s a l th which,, n s a ot i tl those ports void of lazarettos. Would it be just to oblige the vessels of Cette, of Port Vendres, &c., to have first to undergo a ruinous quarantine at Marseilles, before returning to the proprietor ? According to our notion, the academy has not sufficiently weighed this article, which deserves closer investigation. However, the question of quarantine has made a rapid step in advance, and we flatter ourselves not to have lent a powerless hand." The Marchioness of Hastings, and Captain Hastings, R.N., have left town for Efford House, Lymington. SHIPS' STORES.—The Customs authorities having had under their consideration the regulations allowing spare spars and other articles of wood goods, as specified in the printed instructions furnished to the tide-sutveyors for their informa tion and guidance, to be left on board foreign vessels when cleared inwards for ships' stores, and deeming it expedient that the same should be extended to British vessels, have ordered that the officers at the port of London, and at the several outports and places along the coasts of the kingdom, do govern themselves in future accordingly, observing that if such British vessels are from any port in the Baltic, the coast of Norway, or any port to the eastward of Brest, one-third less than the enumerated quantities should be allowed, as in the case of foreign vessels returning to the Baltic, the tide surveyor taking care to record all articles left by them for ship's use in the tide-waiter's book and the clearing journal, and also in the certificate left with the master of the vessel. MONSTER TRAINS.—On Monday morning, as early as seven o'clock, the approach to the termini of the Brighton, Dover, and Croydon Railway was the scene of much con fusion, owing to the immense number of persons waiting for the early excursion trains. The eight o'clock Brighton train consisted of forty-four carriages, and was propelled by three powerful engines. It extended nearly half a mile in length, and the carriages contained nearly four thousand persons. The nine o'clock train took down an immense number also; as did the trains from Dover, Ramsgate, and Croydon. Num bers of persons also availed themselves of the cheap excur sions on the South-Western, Northern and Eastern, and Eastern Counties lines.

TRIMMINGS FOR auEssEs.--La pas,enieli - t-?rie is now as much used for the decorating of dresses a--; f;..r the ornamenting of' the pardessus. These fringes .are put . on in several rows round the lower part of the' dress, ! whilst those which are used for the ornamenti g of pelisses have a fiat appearance, and form a kii of brandebourg trimming, such as upon an orange cilk material a larges rubans satinLts white. Le tablier is made of an open mate of the same colour, formia,.; spirales, intermixed at distances with pearl tass Is. CAPS.—Those now in fashion are of the most charm ing description, and of an infinite variety. We see them, . for instance, made in French tulle, blonde tulle, and tulle-buillone, and all chiffonees, or arranged in a thou sand different forms, a la vielle, a la Charlotte Corday, A la Marie Stuart, a la Sevinge, a la Maintenon, i:he favourite forms are those which are rounded at the ears and trimmed with roses.

Some we see ornamented with laces, attached with pretty bunches of the anemone, or fruits, whilst others have simply a wreath which encircles the crown, drooping upon each side en grappe over the front ; they are also extremely elegant when decorated with feathers nouces marabouts: most of them are trimmed very much under the brim, which is rather open. SHAWLS.—On one side we see the most charming white China crepes aux broderies Chinoises ; then the splendid black ones, in the same material, richly brodes in colours, les crepres de Chine, of a sparkling red, si wilarly embroidered, shawls of lace, which serve so gracefully to envelope the figure, and lastly, these deli cate looking embroidered muslin shawls, lined with a pretty light hue the same as the pelisse, or with num berless rows of fringe, put on on tablier. MATERIALS.—A charming novelty has just appeared which is called La Grenadine de laine, and is destined to eclipse these nankins and foulards which have lately been so much in vogue ; it is embroidered au crochet, and forms a delicious costume for the country or sea side. We have seen it made up in the pelisse style, and trimmed with rich fancy ornaments, which have a very pretty effect. THE CHANNEL FISHERIES. The following Bill has lately been passed by the French Chamber of Deputies : Art. 1 declares that "all infractions of the regulations of June 23, 1843, relative to the Channel Fisheries, committed by a French subject, or any other individual on board a French vessel, shall be tried by the correc tional police of the arrondissement, in which is situated the port to which the boat of the offending party be longs. Art. 2 states that " the proceedings can only take place on the complaint of the Commissary of the French maritime inscription, or of the English consular agent acting for his countrymen, without prejudice to the right of the civil party to bring forward the matter by direct summons." Art. 3. " All acts and proceedings shall be on un stamped paper, and the assignations and acts shall be delivered free of cost." - which shall be in contravention to the regulations esta blished for each kind of fishing, shall warrant the seizure of such articles, and render the offending party liable to a fine of from 10E to 75f., and an imprisonment of from two to ten days." Art. 5. " All persons contravening the measures of precaution and interdiction expressed in the general re gulations, relative to the numbers and names to be painted on each boat, the distances to be observed in fishing, the casting of spillers or nets, the lights dis played, &c., shall be liable to a fine of from 10E to 1 125 f., or to an imprisonment of from five to fifteen days." Art. 6. " Other infractions shall be punished:--1. By the seizure and destruction of the nets and fishing implements, improperly used. 2.

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK—Loss OF LIFU.—By the Cambria steamer, which arrived in the Mersey on Thursday afternoon, intelligence of a distressing nature has come to hand, announcing the appalling shipwreck of the Kalscrona, a Swedish Indiaman, and loss of no fewer than 115 lives, in a dreadful storm off the coast of Matanzas. From all we heve been able to collect, s he appears to have been one of the largest class in the Swedish mercantile service. In all there were 133 persons on board. The last port she touched at was Havannah, where she shipped a valuable cargo. On her departure the intention of the commander was to pro ceed direct to Sweden. On the morning of the Ist of May, when the ship was ahead of the coast of Mantanza, she encountered one of the fiercest hurricanes ever ex perienced in that quarter, during the height of which she capsized and instantly sunk, carrying with her 115 persons —every soul of whom were lost. Seventeen of the crew managed to lay hold of one of the ship's cutters, which, as the vessel went down, floated over th e d ec k and saved them. They endured the greatest privation, being without pro visions and water for several days. They were picked up on the sixth day after the deplorable occurrence, in lat. 25, long. 80. In the course of the same storm, or, as it has been termed tonardo, no fewer than thirteen vessels were driven, ashore on the coast at Cape Cause. Many lives were lost. Amongst the ships wrecked were the Princess Alice Maude, of London, and the St. Martin, from Liverpool. Both were insured to a large amount. A Berlin letter informs us that the King of Prussia has charged his Royal Highne ss the Prince of _ Prussia to proceed to Prague, to pay his respects iiin to the Empress of Russia, and express the r e g ret of the gat her not visit ing Berlin.
