Report of Richard Tothill, Esq., of Heavitree, near Exeter, M. R.C.S.L., for INS. " I have now for thirteen years conducted the Exeter Hygeian Dis pensary, wherein the poor of Exeter and its neighbourhood have been treated gratuitously with Mr. Morison's purely Vegetable medicine of the British College of Health, and I am still more confirmed in my opinion (from practical experience, not in one et - two cases, but in hundreds), that the Hygeian system is founded in truth. The cases which have been cured by that excellent medicine have not been of a common character, being, as I may say, the incurables of the hos pitals at Exeter, it being only after trying all sorts of treatment that patients have recourse, as a last resort, to the Hygelan medicines. The names of the parties and their addresses are recorded in my book for the inspectiou of the public. I have treated upwards of 300 poor patients during the past year, and I have now about 150 on the Dispensary books. In conclusion, I beg to return my sincere thanks to the subscribers to the Dispensary. (Signed) " RICHARD TOTHILL, Surgeon, he. - -•- " Heavitree, near Exeter, Jan. 1, 1845." N.B.

TWENTY TtiOUSAND SAILORS!!! 0 I never did Thames on his waters•pnfeld.t A sight so imposing—a movement sdboid.- Twenty thousand bold mariners—ocean's best gems— Assembled en ma'se on the breast of the Thames. 'Twits astounding to witness' the boats and the steamers, The " bonnie blue Jackets," the colours and streamers. This aquatic procession woul.' rust in the shade The sights on Queen Bess with ner hest cavalcade. The scene on the Thames was a scene that must claim A thrill from the heart, be it ever so tame. And hundreds of thousands of different ranks, Throng'd Thames's broad bridges and mercantile banks. The spectacle seen was easenllaily one To bring to the mind Messrs. MOSES and SON, As the newly-cla 1 seamen appeared fore and aft, A moving assemblage in hundreds of craft. The smiling spectator must surely have thought, Of the outfits of MOSES, so skilfully wrought. Ev'ry day at the warehouse of MOSES we view, The sons of the ocean in " jackets of blue," And finding how MOSES and SON can equip, They neer feel inclined to " foresake the old ship." The scene on the shore was essentially one To remind the o7server of MOSE and SON, Both ladles and gentlemen show'd hi their dress, A beauty to rival the days of Queen Bess; And never did Thames on his waters unfold A sight ti imposing —a movement so bold.

Diffidence, or a sense el right ,determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the Feat hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dr.Arry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and juuicedeniaud that health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or Neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Sparkes, one of the employes at the Brick-lane station, said he stopped the prisoner at about six o'clock this morning, and found upon him the rope yarn now produced. It was the property of the company. Witness had since searched the prisoner's lodgings, and had found four sacks and a wrapper, but could not identify either of the latter as the pro perty of the company. The prisoner said that the sacks and wrapper were his own property. He had been twelve months a porter in the company's employment, and had, from the commencement of his servitude, invariably been allowed the refuse pieces of yarn similar to that pro duced. ➢lr. Sparkes said that all refuse was disposed (.f by the company, and strict orders had been issued by the latter that none of the servants should talc• any thing off the premixes.. Mr. IlaimmiLr. said he believed the prisoner had acted under an erroneous impression, and discharged him. MURDEROUS ASSAULT AND ATTEMPT AT ROD.

Between seven and eight o'clock last night two men called at Mr. Strickland's house, and asked if he was at home, us they wished to see him. The servant ques tioned them us to whether they knew her master, and they replied that they did, adding, that their business was important. She then requested them to walk in, and wait till Mr. Strickland (who was officiating at Christ Church, of which he is the rector,) should return. The men were asked into the kitchen, and as the servant was putting chairs for them to sit down, one of them struck her a violent bl )w upon the head with a mallet, which he had hitherto concealed. The blow felled her to the ground, rendering her insensible. The other female servant, walking down the stairs at the time, saw the blow struck, and immediately ran up stairs and into the street, and cried " Murder." The villains quickly followed her, and escaped, leaving the mallet, a formidable weapon, behind them.

On Tuesday eight fine fish were taken at the old draught, at Diglis. The fishers in the country below Gloucester are begining to catch fish. Some fine salmon, one about 301b5., were caught in that district last week. It is very rare, indeed, that the salmon is taken so plentifully in that quarter during January or February, as at Wor costae—. Worceater Herald.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAR YL EBONE. A very gentlemanly-looking middle• aged man named John Hervey, who, it was stated, had been a banker in Guernsey, but was now living at 32, Surrey street, Strand, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton charged with having stolen a leather case containing a gilt-edged Bible and Prayer-book from the parochial chapel, Kentish-town. Mr. Humphreys attended for the prisoner, who was accompanied to the court by a number of highly respectable persons, his friends. Sergeant Sibley, 16 S, deposed that on Saturday afternoon last, about four o'clock, while on duty at the station-house, his attendance was required at the chapel close by, and on his arrival there he found the prisoner with Mr. Kentish, the verger, who gave him into custody for stealing the property in question. Mr. BROUGHTON—When you took him what did he say ? Witness—He said he was very sorry. How he came to possess himself of the article he knew not, and added, that he did not take them out of the chapel; to which Mr. Kentish replied, that he bad taken them out, and that when he (Mr. Kentish) fol lowed him and brought him back to the chapel he took the case from his pocket and threw it into one of the pews. The property turned out to belong to Mr. Bulwer, Brecknock-terrace, Camden-town. Waifs' conveyed the prisoner to the station-house, when, he said he had been looking at some tombstones, and that upon one of them was an epitaph upon a woman who had died in childbirth ; the words were applicable . to, his case, as he bad lost a beloved partner under similar circumstances, and he caught up the case with the view of referring to the passage, having done whie.h, he thought he had put it down again in its place. Mr. JistouGliTON—What did the verger say to thlt Witness—He said, " That's not true, for you took it out of the chapel." Mr. BROUGHTON—Did the verger tell you whether anything further passed or not ? Witness—Yes, he told me that when he stopped the prisoner he (the accused) said, " Make no noise, and I'll return with you ;" and that when they got back to the chapel he threw the case into a pew, but not the one from which he had taken it. Mr. BROUGHTON inquired if either the verger or the owner of the property was present; and he re ceived a reply in the negative. Mr. Humphreys submitted to the magistrate whether he thought there was any occasion for him to make any particular remarks, inasmuch as no one connected with the chapel had deemed it advisable to prosecute the case. The prisoner was a person of undoubted respectability, and the party who had given him into custody was no doubt fully satisfied upon inquiry that there was nothing wrong intended, in support of which position he (Mr. Humphreys) alluded to the production of a paper by the sergeant, on the back of which the prisoner had marked in pencil, '2d Kings, chap. xix., v. 3, from which the epitaph previously referred to was copied. Mr. BROUGHTON said it was of great importance that it should be known and felt that justice should at all times be dealt out with an even hand, and that no favour might be shown to any person on account of his moving in a respectable sphere of life. Re spectability was the principal ground on which the learned gentleman, Mr. Humphreys, relied for the prisoner's discharge, but he (Mr. Broughton) felt that he could not, consistently with due regard to the proper performance of his duty, for one moment think of adopting the wished-for-course. The worthy Magistrate, after snaking some further remarks ex pressive of his surprise and disapprobation with re gard to the extraordinary apathy evinced, and giving his opinion that if a poor half-starved and ragged creature had committed the act there would have been no reason to complain of the paucity of evidence, re manded the prisoner, on bail, at the same time giving directions that summonses should be issued compel ling the attendance of the verger and the owner of the books. p ATENT RAMONEUR ASSOCIATION.

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th victoria, cap. 85, are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im possibility in innumerable cases of cleanstng a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge- Mous and etTectivo Ramoneur machine has been invented. This invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the snail or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby srcating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used In the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as ef the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39, Jennyn-street, St James's ; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s, brokers, 7, Birchin-lane ; at W. Heath, Esq.'s, Nag's Head-court, Gracechurch-street; and at the principal office, 1, Wellington-street, London-bridge, Borough, where applications for shares may be addressed. RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN TAIN PUMPS, which roll the water upwards, without either friction or faltering, therefore can never he surpassed ; conse quently this is The most important discovery ever made for the pre servation of life and property either at Sea or on Land. AT SRA numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ac knowledge the glorious results. Tyr* testimonial extracts shall suttee : " Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means et saving the ship and 230 souls on board, twr. seams In the bottom being partly lett without calking." " The Argus brig, from CAlliZ, sprung a leak when three days out at sea, -and soon after her common primp cheated and became use lerazi Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Fenn taju rump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in AC. Val without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely la London, with a think God for the Fountain Pump." ON LAND the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service thaw a ire brigade. They act instantaneously at the oatbreak of a fire. "We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boen to so ciety."—Editors Liverpool Mail. The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on Ire in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly, including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the eleven, alessre. Horton's dyery, and 12,0001. worth of consigned pro perty ; Stake mustard, starch, :cad flour ,inn, and Aleears. Butcher's grocery warehouses, Just in nine to prevent a large quantity of gun powder therein from exploding, which must have spread aroaud de straction and death. " North Waisham.—At this fire the Portable Engine was of great service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt but half the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfelk Chro nicle, August 22, 1846. At a Norwich tire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were the pets of the public. The cry was, feed the little engines and they will do the work, which proved true. The four large engines present proved useless. Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo spheres. Now the fact is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps, Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines: they rub, grub, and scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths if the power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. -Yong • and Hutton, with many ether eminent experimenters, lamented thus : —The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom exceeis half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect auginented,ftem twelve to tweuty (or aboat seventy per cent.), and freettently.With out more outlay. Most men can gustatn heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, hut ening men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can raise 10,000 lbs. of water one feet high in a minute, and with a }Van tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power. John Clenton Roberts, Esq., i■ his popular work, No. 1,110, did well in placing Gosset's French hump Abortion (that slaps the water upward) side by side with the Fountain I'ump, which upset a good deal of Folly. Because Mr. aiallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump maker, Mr. liaddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book maker, asserted that the two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John , alull and Paddy in No. 1.183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Milling:On's remarks are preposterous. However, on the ether hand, Dr. Birk beck, Aberdour, Hay, Parkington, with many other discerning men, alter witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the rolling principle, gave the inveution the following true and susta n able character:—The Fountain Puma is the moot important improve ment in she art of ratting water that has appeared within the last two thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in modern times. The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude, for man, horse, and steam power; deliv,ring from half a pint per stroke to 10e barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed at less cost than common pumps W.

In a large wine cellar, which had the appearance of not having been opened for many years, there were found concealed thirty crates of hats, a quantity of silk handkerchiefs and other property, altogether valued at about 1,0001. A great quantity of these goods, on being opened, ap• peared to have been recently received from London. Messengers have been dispatched to other towns where the bankrupt is said to have had premises. RAZz ANIMAL.-A fine specimen of that very rare animal, the yellow-breasted martin, was captured during the late frost, in one of the covers near Ravens worth Castle. Its traces were observed in the snow, and it was tracked to the earth in some rocks in a secluded glen, where it was taken in a steel trap set for the purpose. It is now in perfect health, and though very wild and fierce seems partially reconciled to captivity. This large and beautiful species of the weazel tribe, the " Mustela Martes," of Linn ae us, is be coming extremely scarce in England, and in m an y dis tricts may be considered as extinct. We are not aware of any other instance of its appearance in this vi c i n i ty for the last 20 or 30 years, and it is difficult to imagine whence the specimen in question can have migrated.— , Newcastle Journal.

'1 he complainant stated, that about 18 months ago the prisoner introduced himself to him at the Jeru salem Coffee-house, and described himself as a man possessing property at Ash, in Kent.

The complainant here handed in the bill of sale ea that vned r suc ceededhh he was since in finding beenn immediatelyo not looking h hint Iga v e h i given to him by the prisoner, and amongst the items were these which he now charged him with stealing. Mr. COTTINGHAM — Then you now charge him with stealing assigned over to you by Complainant—Precisely so the bi t l h l e of pr aaolpolty which h e ; the articles I consi dered as my own, although he took them off his own premises. A barrister, who attended for the prisoner, said that he would be enabled to show that this proceed ing against his client was dons for the purpose of placing him in the hands of the civil power, and getting him arrested before he left the precincts of the court. The MAGISTRATE said that if he was aware of such being the fact, he would d iscountenance any a man into cus- act of the kind, for it wou ld be mo nstrous indeed to atodlloywonpraacothicaresgeofotfhfeelkind—toelgivefor the p ur p ose o f getting him arrested for a d ebt. The complainant disclaimed anything of the kind, and declared that he was not aware the bailiffs were waiting for the prisoner--at all events, if they were, it was not by his instructions. The barrister then proceeded to cross-examine the complainant, who, in answer to the questions, said that he was living on his property ; that he had been formerly captain of a merchantman, but since he had retired from a seafaring life he was in the habit of discounting bills ; that the pri son er called on him rafter the bill was dishonoured, at which period a Mr. Wells was complainant's attorney. He (complainant) did house at Ash, 1 proceed to prisonor's the bill of sale he had previously taken from him with the property on the premises, and then found the articles were stolen. H e added, that he believed that there was a writ of execution out against the accused ; that having heard the prisoner had come into the possession of property at Chester, and was absent from Ash, he (complainant) certainly did look after hit, at the former place on finding he had de prived him of the principal portion of the property enumerated in the bill of sale. The complainant admitted that ho sent down a bailiff to arrest the prisoner at Chester. Mr. COTTINGIIAM said, that after that admission, it was evident the complainant had pursued a civil remedy in the first instance, and therefore he (the magistrate) should comply with the application made on behalf of the accused, and at once admit him to bail to answer the charge, by entering into hi s own recognizance in the sum of Ma to appear there on Monday next. The accused, having entered into the required re- S V N, FEBRUARY 15, 1848. cognizance, said that he knew, notwithstanding what the complainant asserted, that he would have him ar rested 'then he got into the street. THE GOLDEN-LANE MURDER It will be recollected that the jury who tried Harriet Parker, who was found guilty of the wilful murder of two children in Golden-lane, on the 31st of December last, " strongly recommended her to mercy on account of the great provocation which she received." The judge (Mr. Baron Alderson), how ever, at the time remarked, " that the children gave her no provocation," but that the recommendation which had accompanied the verdict of the jury should be forwarded to the proper quarter; but he entreated the prisoner not to indulge any hope that it would be of any effect. His Lordship accordingly forwarded a copy of the evidence to Sir George Grey, Bart., M.P., and in answer to an application on the subject the following letter has been received from the Home Secretary " Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 11th inst., respecting Harriet Parker, who was con victed at the last sessions of the Central Criminal Court of murder, and sentenced to death. " Sir George Grey desires me to inform you that he has received from the judge before whom the pri soner was tried a report of the evidence, together with the recommendation of the jury in her favour ; and I am to express to you his regret that after a careful consideration of the circumstances of the ewe, he is unable to discover any ground upon which he can, consistently with his sense of public duty, recommend the prisoner to the mercy of the Crown, and that he must, therefore, leave the law to take its course.

An extraordinary second supplement of ll l?isor gimento of Turin, contains the following royal ordi nance, decreeing the establishment of a new national constitution in Sardinia : " ROYAL DECREE. " Charles Albert, by the grace of God King of Sardinia, Cyprus, and Jerusalem, Duke of Savoy, Genoa, Montferrato, &c., Prince of Piedmont and Oneglia, Marqui s o f Italy, &c., Count of Moriana, Geneva, Nice, &c., Baron of Vaud and Fancigny, Lord of Vercelli, &c. " The people whom by the will of Divine Pro vidence we have governed for seventeen years with the love of a father have always understood our affec tion, as we, in like manner, have sought to compre hend their necessities; and it has always been our intention that the Prince and the nation should be united by the closest ties for the common good of the country. " 0, this union, now more solid, we hare had most consolatory proofs in the sentiments with which our subjects received the recent reforms, which our wish for their felicity had counselled us to effect for the purpose of amelioratin g the various branches of Government, and initiating them into the discussion of public affairs. "Now, therefore, that the times are ripe tor greater things, and in the midst of the changes which have occurred in Italy, we hesitate no longer to give them the most solemn proof that we are able to Five of the faith which we continue to repose in their devotion and discretion. " Prepared in tranquillity, the political institutions which will form th 2 completion of the reforms which we hare already efiltcted are 1-sing malured in our council, and will consolidate the benefit in a manner conformable with the state of the country. " But for the present w• have much pleasure in declaring that, with the advice and approval of our Ministers and the principal advisers of our Crown, we have resolved and determined to adopt the following bases of a fundamental statute, for the establishment in our states of a complete system of representative Government. " Art. 1. The Catholic, apostolic, and Roman reli gion is the sole religion of the state. " The other forms of public worship at present existing are tolerated in conformity with the laws. " Art. 2. The person of the Sovereign is sacred and inviolable. His Ministers are responsible. "Art. 3. To the King alone appertains the execu tive power. He is the supreme head of the state. He commands all the forces, both naval and military ; declares war, concludes treaties of peace, alliances, and commerce ; nominates to all offices, and gives all the necessary orders for the execution of the laws without suspending or dispensing with the observance thereof. "Art. 4. The King alone sanctions and promulgates :he laws. "Art. 5. All justice emanates from the King, and is administered in his name. He may grant mercy and commute punishment. "Art. 6. The legislative power will be collec tively exercised by the King and by two Chambers. " Art 7. The first of these Chambers will be com posed of members nominated by the King for life ; the second will be elective, on the basis of the census to be determined. "Art. 8. The proposal of laws will appertain to the King and to each of the Chambers, but with the distinct understanding that all laws imposing taxes must originate in the elective Chamber. " Art. 9. The King convokes the two Chambers annually, prorogues the sessions, and may dissolve the elective one ; but in this case he will convoke a new assembly at the expiration of four months. " Art. 10. No tax may be imposed or levied if not assented to by the Chambers and sanctioned by the King. " Art. 11. The press will be free, but subject to repressive laws. Art. 12. Individual liberty will be guaranteed. " Art. 13. The judges, with the exception •f those of mandamento, will be irremovable, after having exercised their functions for a certain space of time, to be hereafter determined. " Art. 14. We reserve to ourselves the power of establishing a district militia (una milizia comunale), composed of persons who may pay a rate which will be fixed upon hereafter. This militia will be placed under the command of the administrative authority, and in dependencu on the Minister of the Interior. " The King will have the power of buspencling or dissolving it in places where he may deem it oppor tune so to do. " The fundamental statute which is about to be prepared by our command, in conformity with these bases, will be put in force vs hen the new organization of the communal administrations shall hare been carried into effect. " Whilst we thus provide for the highest emer gencies of political order, we are unwilling to defer any longer the accomplishment of a desire which we have cherished for some time—namely, that of re ducing the price of salt to 30 centimes per kilogramme from the Ist of July next ensuing, principally for the benefit of the poorer classes of society, persuaded, as we are, that we shall find amongst the wealthier that compensation for the public treasury which the neces sities of the state require. " May Almighty God protect the new era which is dawning upon our subjects, and meanwhile, until they can enjoy the greater liberty acquired, of which they are, and will be, worthy, we expect from them a rigorous observance of the laws in actual force, and the maintenance of that imperturbable tranquillity so necessary for the consummation of the work of the internal organization of the state. " Given at our palace in Turin, this Bth day of February, in the year of Grace 1848. " CHARLES ALBERT." NAPLES, SICILY. Our Neapolitan letters of the 3d instant state, in addition to the facts we have before given, that the resignation of M. Cassaro, President of the Consulta- Generale de Regno, had caused much regret to the Liberal party, who attributed that step to the diffi culties opposed by the King to his wise policy in re spect of Sicily. " From Messina the late accounts have been alarm ing," says one of our letters ; the Generals Cardamina and Naunciante promised Captain Codrington, of the Thetis, that they would not bombard the town without giving 24 hours' previous notice, and that if they bombarded it, they would only fire on that part of it where the insurgents were congregated in the greatest numbers. Notwithstanding the solemn pledge thus given, the forts opened on the town indis criminately, and without the slightest notice, on the 29th. One shell fell and burst in the drawing-room of the house belonging to Mr. Sanderson. The bom bardment continued for an hour and a half. The Consuls went in a body to the Generals on the 30th, and took them to task for having broken their word. They excused themselves by saying that a subordi nate officer had taken upon himself to fire; also that the people had attacked them first. This Captain Codrington denied, stating that he was on shore at the time. The General, however, is said to have answered, that he did attempt to stop the firing, but his officers would not obey him. A letter, dated Messina, 31st, now before me, states, in the first place, that the General on the 29th took it into his head to attack the people. The people fought well, and drove the troops back, killing 56, and capturing two guns. The General, enraged, immediately commenced bom barding the town, and fired 280 shells and shot into it, doing much harm to the houses. The 1053 of life on the part of the Messinese was very small. " A few hundreds (300 or 400) of the wives and children of the soldiers have come to Naples from Messina; they are instructed to say nothing. I have been out again to obtain fresh information. lam sorry to say I cannot give you any news from Pa lermo. I suppose and believe that the forts have been taken. It is, believe true, that the Fort Castella mare was taken by assault ; that the Falermitans at tacked it in three ranks ; as soon as any of the front rank fell, their places were supplied by those who were behind them, and who bad no muskets. The remnant of the soldiers then escaped out of the fort. " Lord Napier was applied to by the Sicilians to mediate, but they would accept no terms from the ' King until they had a national Parliament assembled to consider their grievances. " A proclamation of pardon for all political offen ders, including those heretofore exempted, from 1830 to January 23d, 1848, has been published. " The more wretched of the troops from Palermo ' were landed at Castellamare. I saw some of them yesterday march into one of the forts here. Most of those had, however, shirts and neckerchiefs and muskets, but the greater part of the returned soldiers are, I believe, destitute of those three necessary arti cles for comfort and war. They have certainly been most completely heal en. A. friend of mine, in con versation with one of the officers just returned, was given a description of the horrors of the late scene. Women and boys,' said he, ' fou g ht with hot oil, hot water, guns, and pistols, to the total discomfort and discomfiture of the royal troops. The cavalry killed all their horses, to the number of 800, before retreating.'

AUSTRALIA.—By a letter received lately from a Canadian emigrant, who, with 60 persons, left the Island of Mull about eighteen months ego for ' that colony, only sixteen have survived the first Cana- ' dian winter, the severity of the climate and their great privations having proved fatal to so many hardy High landers. What a contrast does the climate of Australia present! Sickness and disease are scarcely known there, food is actually wasted from want of mouths; the la bouring classes in that healthful colony have never known want, in the European sense of the term, for food and clothing are in abundance; a little shelter and slight clothing all that is required, from the delightful climate—a great inducement to those who are inclined to emigrate from their native country, and where they can find abundant employment. EXPENSE OF THE METROPOLITAN POLICE ESTA BLISHMENT.—An account of the receipts and expendi ture for the service of the Metropolitan Police in the year ended December 31, 1847, has been just published. The receipts on rate-warrants issued during the year is stated to have been 290,5191.; receipts from the Conso lidation Fund, per Act 2 and 3 Vict. c. 47, s. 6, to defray the increased charge of the Metropolitan Police, arising from the addition of the duties of the Horse-pa trol, Thames Police, &c., 23,5521. 9s. 6d.

THE FEENCECTRANSATLANTIC STEAMSHIP COM' PANY.—It was stated a few weeks ago that the four steam ships belonging to this company which had been constructed at a great expense to keep up a regular communication between Havre and New York were to be taken of the station, in consequence of the heavy losses sustained by the company, which amounted to fully 2,000,000 f. It is now stud, however, that the Fre nch Government, in accordance with the wishes of the ori ginal projectors and several influential mercha nts in Havre, will re-arrange the line, and, after givi n g the steamers new furnaces, increasing the powe r of the engines, and making other improvements , pl ace th e m again in the trade early in the spring.— Liverpool Albion.
