The clerks in the Registrar General's Office are actively en gaged in arranging the numerous statisti cal details furnished by the superintendents throughout the United Kingdom, such as the number of persons engaged in different trades and professions ; distinguishing those under certain years of age, commencing with those under fifteen, then, those under twenty, and so on, up to the greatest age at which man kind are generally able for labour. These returns will be given as corrected by the master ma nufacturers and others, intimately acquainted with the facts. The population of all the cities, towns, and boroughs will also be given separately, with the comparative increase or decrease for the four decennial periods during which the Census has been taken. The work, which requires great labour and skill in the `arrangement, will yet occupy the com pilers for a considerable time ; it will extend to three, folio volumes, and when completed will form the most valuable statistical account of the inhabitants of the United Kingdom ever pub lished.

Peace reigns in Europe, and nothing exists from which we may argue it will be troubled. ' Thus every Sovereign may conclude commercial treaties according to his own will and interest, and without com promising his friendly relations with other Sovereigns. , The Duchy of Luxemburg has three neighbours.; if it accede to the Customs' Union, it will no longer be' free to enter into commercial relations with France or Bel gium, which has been proved by the refusal of the Prus sian Commissaries on the Ist of August, of the King Grand Duke's demand for a diminution of the tariff re lative to Belgium, but such a one as should assure to Luxemburg the advantages accruing to her by virtue of the law of the 6th of June, 1839, and which are vital to the Grand Duchy. M. de Scherff. in conse quence, received from his Sovereign the order sent from the Hague on tho 7th August, and which arrived at Ber lin on the 10th of the same month, declaring that, until such advantages were conceded to the Grand Duchy the Treaty would not be ratified ; to which the Prussian Commissaries answered, Ratify ,first, and then we will negotiate.' But had the King so acted lie would have altered his independent position as a Sovereign for that of a Member oUthe Customs' Union ; and being before hand hound, could not have treated with Belgium other wise than through the medium and with the consent of the Union, which position he could not accept. The Report also is incorrect, inasmuch as it states that in the Grand Duchy one party only refuses the Union, whereas one party only has declared in favour of it, and the grand majority of the country is opposed to it. This is the conviction which his Majesty attained during his stay in the country, and which has not arisen from the explana tion of the Luxemburg Commission assembled at the Hague at the period of the new signature. of the Treaty of the Bth of August, and this conviction was further borne out by the . number of addresses of thanks for the non-ratification sent in daily to the King from the Grand Duchy. .. " The King declares that he cannot ratify the Treaty of the Bth of AuguSt, but he does not think he is acting against any right, which . cannot exact that a Sovereign, being persuaded that a treaty signed by his' plenipo tentiaries is contrary to the interests of those for whom the negotiation is effected, believing as he does, his sip nature to be merely a matter of form. In this case the refusal to ratify is an act of conscience, and the King would be weak to sign a treaty .which he considers con trary to the welfare of his subjects. The King Grand Duke is ready to conclude a treaty with Prussia or with the Union, as also especially with Belgium and with France, but the King, regulating his commercial interests with Belgium and with France, does not intend to adhere to a Customs' Union which would change the independent position of Luxemburg, and compromise its relations with the Germanic Con federation. His Majesty merely intends to assert his rights as a Sovereign in negotiating commercial treaties with his neighbours, so that the material interests of his subjects, which need facilities, especially with the Grand Duchy incorporated with Belgium, and separated from the actual Grand Duchy in 1839, only may be taken into consideration. "These two parts of the country are absolutely in want of these facilities, as their interests are, reciprocal, and they have never been, separated for centuries ; and the treaty concluded by the Great Powers for the Low countries has separated these interests by a supe rior force. However this commercial position will in no way interfere with the political system of the King Grand Duke, who will continue to remain faithful to his opinions and duties as a German Prince. " Another circumstance is deserving of particular at tention, viz., the private correspondence between the King Grand Duke and his Majesty the King of Prussia., This correspondence is not couched, it is true, in. the usual forms of diplomacy, but the very first letter which was sent by the King Grand Duke to his Majesty the King of Prussia, an which was delivered to him by a General, who brought back the answer from his Prus sian Majesty, had for its object to solicit at least the tacit assent of the King of Prussia to the non•ratification before he adopted any resolution whatsoever, and laid bare with unreserved candour the euibarrassments which the signature of the treaty would' haVe caused the King Grand Duke. The answer of theliing of Prussia could not possibly be viewed in any ! other light than as per fectly acquiescing in the wishes of the King Grand Duke, and then, and not till then, did he take the despe rate resolution of not ratifying the treaty. It was not until several weeks after this, and when the official rati fication was notified to the Cabinet of Berlin, that the King Grand Duke received a second letter from his Prussian Majesty, explaining away the contents, and modifying the expressions of his first.letter.. " Another observation remains to be made. It is frequently reiterated in the Prussian document, that the Low Countries desired the accession of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg to the Union. In the amicable relations which have so long existed between Prussia, the Low Countries, and the Customs' Union, no . change whatever has been effected; and other expressioni, which prove beyond a doubt that Prussia was well aware that ever since 1839, negotiations concerning Luxenibiirg had been carried on for Luxemburg, but without any knowledge of the inhabitants of that Duchy that her fate had been decided by Strangers. The King Grand Duke has deemed it his d uty to hi s su bj ec t s t o put a stop to this state of things, an d h as ca ll e d u p o n them to co-operate in the regul a ti on of t h e i r a ff a i rs . This change in the state of things has greatly contributed to change the- opinion of the Icing Grand Duke on the wants of the Grand Duchy. The Chamber of Com merce, amongst others recently instituted at Luxemburg, has just shown its gratitude to the King Grand Duke for his non-ratification, in an address signed by two thirds of its members.

Payne, Esq., the Coroner for the City of London, for the purpose of inquiring by what means Sarah Blakesley, the short-lived widow of the malefactor who was executed on Monday, came by her death. A jury was summoned by Mr. Burford, the ward beadle, to meet at the Blue Anchor, St. Mary-at- Hill, at five o'clock, and there was no delay on the ground of non-attendance. Mr. Payne said he was aware that there were some persons who thought that an inquest on the present occasion was unnecessary, but he and many others thought to the contrary, and, whatever might be the result of the inquiry, there were matters connected with it that would well warrant it. After a few more observations, the Coroner said they would go and take a view of the body of the deceased. They then proceeded to the King's Head, Eastcheap, and the parties were ushered into an upper room, where lay the deceased in a handsome black coffin. On their return to the Blue Anchor, the Learned Coroner proceeded to call wit nesses. Evidence was adduced similar to what has already appeared, and the Coroner, after a few observa tions, said, judgment had already been passed, and sen tence executed upon the guilty perpetrator, so that the verdict could have no further effect upon him. Verdict —" Wilful murder against Robert Blakesley." CONFINEMENT OF AN AUGUST PERSONAGE IN LONDON.—The prisoner, with whose case we wish our readers to be acquainted, has suffered cruelly from his tenderest infancy until now, as a pure and guiltless victim to 'unheard-of injustice, by which he has never ceased' to be oppressed, ill-used, and spoliated. From splefidOiir and happiness suddenly hurled, he became at the . iige` Otdeven years the inmate of the darkest pri sons, *here hb:ivas compelled to spend the greatest part of his 'youth. He is now father of a numerous family, and this last imprisonment is for an alleged debt.. He is neither accused of having borrowed money nor of being unwilling to settle with his creditors ; his present cus tody has only been caused by the accusation of one of his creditors, who, on an affidavit, procured a Judge's order and warrant against him on the assertion that he was on the point of quitting England privately. The august personage we speak of is the Duke of Norman die, the last son of Louis XVI. and Marie Antionette, Queen of France. Though we are far from pretending that the offspring of France's hapless Royal Family should tread a thornless path in life, we cannot help thinking it a crying disgrace to the French nation to abandon their last legitimate King to the insults of any individuals. Did even the unfortunate Duke owe any sum whatever to his accuser, it will he publicly proved that the attestation/of his intention to leave the country privately alone caused his arrest.—British Queen. HOOD'S COMIC ANNUAL.—The re-appear ance of Mr. Hood's Comic Annual must be welcomed with no ordinary glee. The volume for 1842, just pub lished, is fully equal, if not superior, to any of its prede cessors. " For the thirteenth time," observes the Athe nceum, " the master spirit of modern whim and drollery offereth his hand to the public ; and never, surely, did Frolic proffer a merry greeting to his million friends better timed. What care we for Spanish insurrections ? What for warlike movements with ' Eastern Indies; as Dominic Sampson called them ? or, the struggle in China ? In short, we have home -matters of rejoicing sufficient to absorb all distant cares and foreign anxieties. Half the day, at least, we are in fancy at the Palace taking our turn of loyal watch by the cradle of the Heir Apparent ; the rest, at our own firesides, in that mood of cheerful thankfulness which makes fun and frolic welcome. As to our friend of the Comic, his wit grows racier year by year. His new volume, and welcome evi dence of life and vigour, is well set off by Mr. Leech's illustrations." SACRIFICE TO SCIENCE.—We lament to re cord the death of Mr. Brittan, the druggist, of Dame street, which was caused under the following affecting circumstances :—He had been, for some time past en gaged in writing a work on chemistry, and one of the experiments which he intended making was, the extent to which hydrogen gas could be inhaled by a human being without injury to him. He made the experiment on himself, and fatal results followed; he became debili tated in mind and body, and was obliged to go to bed, where he remained in a state of stupefaction for two or three days. Medical aid was called in, but all their efforts were unsuccessful. Mr. Brittan died an Friday night, thus furnishing a melancholy proof of the danger of his experiment,---Dublin Paper. SHIPS ABANDONED AT SEA. During the past two months no less than six merchant vessels are reported to have b een f a ll en i n w i t h i n vari ous parts of the Mediterranean, which being so unusual a circumstance, leads us to fe ar t h a t p i rates h ave aga i n appeared in the Archipelago, pro b a bl y some o f t h e Can diot insurgents, making up at sea for their reverses on shore. The Cyclops steam-frigate was the first to fall in with a brig on the 23d of August, in lat. 36 deg. 58 min N., and long. 16 deg. 20 min. 7 sec. E., water logged and abandoned by her crew ; this vessel was also seen on the following day by her Majesty's ships Britannia, Ganges, and Howe, and by several other ves sels ; and by subsequent letters received from Messina and Trieste, it resulted to be the Austrian brig Intrapan dente Angaro, Captain Farina. The French steam packet Minos fell in about the middle of September, between Cape Matapan and Cerigo, with the English brig Eli zabeth, water-logged and abandoned. On the 17th of August the Maltese brig Vigilante fell in with another wreck, apparently of about 250 tons burden, in lat. 54 deg. 48 min N., and long. 21 deg. 51 min. E. On the 24th of September in lat. 33 deg. 3 min. N., and long. 25 deg. 35 min. E., the Maltese brig Ponsonby fell in with a saccoleva of about 60 tons burden, also water-logged and abandoned. On the 29th of September, in lat. 34 deg. 10 min. 30 sec. N., and long. 23 deg. 9 min. 30 sec. E., the Maltese brig Heron ran foul of a vessel water logged and abandoned, without bowsprit or figure-head. And on the 9th instant the Giovane Tagliaferra, on her voyage to Alexandria from Malta, reports to have en countered, in lat. 34 deg. 11 min. N., and lon. 23 deg. 31 min.

BER 22, 1841. SUNDAY TRAVELLING. A meeting of the Directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company was held upon Tuesday, and terminated in the defeat of the party opposed to all travelling on the railway on Sunday. An incorrect statement of the proceedings having appeared in a Con temporary of yesterday morning, we have prociired copies of the motion and amendment which were actually submitted to the meeting. The motion, of which previous notice had been given, was as follows :—" That there be no travelling on the railway on Sabbath, unless compelled by the Government." The effect of this motion, if carried, would, as we be lieve was stated at the meeting, be not only to negative Sunday trading, but to deprive the Shareholders of any opportunity of expressing their opinions on the subject, as the Act confers on the Board of Directors the exclusive power of regulating all matters connected with the pas senger traffic. The amendment opposed to the above was in the following terms :—" That it is the opinion of this Board that it is their duty to provide trains for•the accommodation of the Post-office and the public, one in the 'Morning and one in the evening of Sunday, from the cities .of Edinburgh and Glasgow respectively—and Under - snch rules and regulations as shall enable the ser- Variti'Of the Company, and all 'others travelling on the railway, to attend divine service. , But as this is a ques tion on which it is proper to, consult the Shareholders generally, the Board refers the decision of that question to a general meeting of the Company." Upon a division taking place, the amendment was de-. clared to be carried by a majority of 10 against 8. The mover of the amendment then mentioned that he held in his hands a letter from one of the six absent Directors, authorising him to state his cordial concur rence in the principle embodied in it—that letters from two of the other absent Directors were in the hands of the Chairman, also adopting the same view—and that of the remaining three he could take upon himself to sad• that at least one would have voted with him, if his engagements had allowed of his being present. PLYMOUTH BREAKWATER. The MAYOR, at a meeting on Thursday last, said, that having heard that the men employed on the Break water works were about to be discharged, he considered that the authorities should be applied. to, and requested to suspend the order ; for it would be a very distressing act to discharge a number of men at this season of the year.—(llear, hear.) He was assured that twelve men had already been discharged, and 150 more would soon follow. He considered it a cruel act towards the men.; and, observing the governor of the workhouse present, he would suggest to him the propriety of his inquiring into the subject, as most of these men and their families: would most probably be obliged to apply to their respec tive parishes for sustenance. A COUNCILLOR having inquired what cause had been assigned for such a course, The MAYOR said, that want of money was stated to be the reason. Mr. W. T. Halms said he should be most happy to join in a memorial to the authorities. After some observations from Mr. Fox, Mr. TREERY (who observed that if they discharged the men, the staff of clerks would be kept up), Mr. g. SHEPHERD, and several :other gentlemen, it was understood that the governor of the workhouse should make the necessary inquiries and then consult the Mayor and Town Clerk on the subject of memoralising the Government authorities ; and it was further recom mended that the attention of the local authorities of Devonport, Stonehouse, and the other neighbouring pa rishes should be called to the subject.—Plymouth Journal. SPAIN.-MORE EXECUTIONS. MADRID, Nov. 11.—The last of the victims of the at tempt on the Palace (Don Damaso Fulgosio) has suffered to-day outside the gate of Toledo, almost on the spot where Don Diego Leon fell the first sacrifice. Don D. Fulgosio was the commandant of the regiment La Prin cesa, who was overheard in conversation with General Concha, making inquiries respecting the private entrance to the Queen's apartment, and exclaiming, " How easy it would be to throw a cloak over her, place her on the crupper of a horse, and carry her off." When his lieu tenant and subteniente (Borio and Gobernado) were condemned to death, he could not expect to escape ; and it appears he hail from the first completely re signed himself to his fate. He was a - fine, tall youth, but had recently been suffering much in prison from wounds which were still open ; and his pale and pas sive appearance tea-day bespoke considerable corpo real debility, without however, any symptom of what could properly be termed fear. In the open carriage he was attended by a priest at each side, to whose observa tions he appeared to pay great attention. On alighting he embraced both, and, finally, Senor Valabriga, who de fended him in council (a commandant of the National Guard); he did not attempt to address the multitude, who were freely permitted to attend the execution (unlike that of Leon, when all the gates were kept shut, with a view of preventing the conspirators escaping from the city), but requested the officer above mentioned to speak for him. Senor Valabriga addressed a few energetic sen tences to the living mass of troops and citizens who sur rounded him, expressive of his conviction of his poor friend's good intentions, ardent love of his country, and his desire to quit this life in charity with all men. Fulgosio then took his place mechanically, holding in his hands a paper which the priests had given him, containing a picture of the Virgin, undo, form of prayer in articulo mortis. He did not attempt to give the word, but stood like a statue, while the fatal volley was fired into his breast. He fell gently backward, as if with the impetus of the discharge, and never moved a muscle after he touched the earth, his hands still holding the paper, and joined as if in the act of prayer. His brother, Don Jose, who has been spared, and sentenced to ten years' imprisonment in the Mariana Islands, was escorted from prison to-day, on his journey to Cadiz. •A third brother; Don Basilio, is at present a prisoner in that city, on sus picion of being concerned in the contemplated movement of Ramon Narvaez; and a fourth fell in the Carlist ranks at Colmenar Veiga, during the civil war of 1837. Two other officers of the Princesa Regiment, Teniente Don Luis Asencio, and Subteniente Don Juan Mier, have also been respited, and sent off to the Marianas for a similar term of ten years, and now there remain no more poli tical prisoners in Madrid. Five only have fallen here victims to the outraged law, and, it must be owned, most justly, although, perhaps, none have regretted the sad necessity more than he whose duty it was to command the fulfilment of the law, and to cause its denunciations to be practically and dispassionately enforced, perhaps for the first time this century. Don Pedro Chacon has arrived here from the north to assume the military command of Madrid pro tempore, and the determined General Seoane has been appointed to replace Van Halen at Barcelona, who proceeds forth with to assume the Captain-Generalship of Valencia, there to supersede the authority of General Salcedo (the second chief and Captain-General ad interim), utterly disgraced by his recent execution, or rather military murder, of Don Beltran de Rio, the Carlist ex-Governor of Morella. We are still without news from Barcelona later than the Gth inst., at which period Van Haien had possession of the heights of Dfonjuich (the fort of which commanded both citadel and town) with a small force—too small to compel the re volters to surrender at discretion—and he had, therefore, contented himself with issuing an argumenta tive proclamation to the Barcelonese, explaining to them that they were in a state of rebellion, and that the pro clamation which had been posted in the city, with the signature of the political chief, Don Dionisio Valdez, was a surreptitious document, for Don Dionisio utterly disowned it, and said that his name had been affixed to it without his knowledge. There are some very bad men in Barcelona, and one, at least, very mad (although at the head of the Junta of Vigilance), named Llinas, who in 1823 dressed out his horse in a procession as a Grande de Espana, with the grand cross of Carlos 111. on his breast, and the Order of Merit of Isabella la Catolica adorning his tail. Van Ilalen evidently feels it prudent to parley with the Junta till Seoane arrives with rein forcements ; and the Junta, on their part, have amide a show of obedience to the law, and have 'declared them selves dissolved, leaving, however, a phoenix Commis sion, charged with the completion of the destruction of the two curtains of the citadel. Meantime Van Haien looks idly on, having promised to await the decision of the Regent on the subject. The rumour in town to-day is that Espartero will himself set out for Barcelona, from Saragosen, where he certainly was on the 9th instant. Meantime the funds keep up, and to-day Five per Cents. sold at 27 1 for cash. An incident affecting the public credit of Spain must not be left unmentioned. Senor Surra y Hull has made arrangements for giving the British holders of. coupons similar advantages to those enjoyed by the Spanish creditors, who, it may be remembered, were enabled here in June last, to convert their coupons (accumulating for the last five years unfruitfully) inte New Three , per Cent. stock, bearing interest. The British creditor either did not know how to avail himself of the opportunity of capitalization in Madrid at the moment, or did not suffi ciently confide in the promises of a Spanish Minister of Finance to put himself to the trouble to send his parchments to Spain. Certain it is that .he. neg lected to avail himself of the proffered-- loan. However, Senor Surra, who seemed...xesolyed —that Spain shall recover as much of her long lost credit as possible, has now arranged to open an office in London, similar to that established in Madrid last June, fer the reception of the over-due coupons,.. and delivery of new stock. With this object, Senor Menclieta will pr oceed immediately to London, with orders.toreeeive the eleven coupons (which will be due in England at the end of this half year), to commence paying the first instalment on the new consolidated stock, at the rate of 3 per cent., so that, in fact, the British holder will thus be put on a par with the Spanish one on the next .pay-day, , the Ist of January, 1842. It is pleasing to perceive that this Minister is in the mean time taking strict precautions to preserve and eco nomise the national property in forests, mountains, &c., which have for many years past fallen into very bad hands, and now require measures even of great severity to effect their preservation. Spain is still rich, but her Ministro de Haciendo must, to render her'riches avail able, make ,' war to the knife" on a host of corp ora t e harpies who prey on her vitals. The .following- important Address upon the events of Barcelona has been just presented to the Regent by the officers of the National Guard of Madrid:— " Sir—The chiefs of the National Guard of Madrid believa it to be their duty to address your Highness in the present critical position of the country—not for the purpose -of m aking known to you the sentiments which animate the corps which they command, for those must b e w ell known to your Highness, but to remind you that they shall ever prove an impregnable bulwark against the efforts of all enemies of the Constitution, no matter how they may seek to disguise themselves ; and that you m ay reckon with security upon their determination to control and punish those who in any way infringe, upon _or attempt to destroy that Constitution. "The enemies, Sir, who but a few days ago sought to rob to of those institutions which we have P 1.11.46844 with our blood, are already vanquished ; it is equally necessary that those who disobey the laws; and give uni versal scandal by their conduct—who have committed ex cesses which the truelfriends of freedom have beheld with the deepest regret—should, in like manner, be subdued and punished. " Excusable it may have been in the patriotic and well meaning portion of society, when alarmed by the prospect of a retrograde insurrection, to unite and arm themselves in defence of the institutions of the country ; but this can never be the case with those Juntas which, formed at first for sacred objects of this kind. subsequently run into ex tremes unfortunately too well known to all, and which, to spare your Highness's feelings, the subscribers to this ad dress decline to enumerate. A scandal of such magnitude, and which must make us appear in the eyes of Europe unworthy of freedom, cannot, in any way,-be tolerated...lf we are to have a government, if we are to have political institutions in reality, and if we are to appear worthy of them, it is indispensably necessary that the Govern ment shall treat with equal severity these new enemies, as they have those who recently rebelled in an opposite sense. By this course alone can that peace which the country desires be secured, and the nation arrive at that prosperity and happiness which it deserves'. " Your Highness is well aware that the. National Mi litia of Madrid have never spared any ,sacrifice in .the maintenance of the Constitution ; and you should also know, that as they have sealed with their' blood their oaths on the 7th of October, they are prepared to repress those lamentable excesses and abuses committed by some of the towns of Spain ; for their motto is the Constitu tion,' and their enemies those who violate it." liere follow the signatures of the officers of the eight battalions of infantry, two squadrons of cavalry, and two batteries,of artillery, of which the National Guard of Madrid is composed. SKETCHES OF . SOCIETY. At the present hour, when the nation isebullient whit rejoicings cim . the auspicious birth of a Maleheir to the Crown, the , following holograph letter from her late Majesty Queen. Charlotte (which is in.our possession), can hardly fail to interest the public. It relates, also, to the birth of a Royal infant, the last of that Illustrious family it was her lot to bear ; and breathes a kindliness and consideration for the personal welfare of a high officer of the Court, which reflects honour on her cha racter. Its simplicity of expression and its style, re membering that the Queen was German by birth and education, will please the reader. The date refers it, as we have. observed, to the youngest child of the Royal race, the Princess Amelia. It is written throughout in :her Majesty's own hand, roundly and firmly, on note paper,, with watermark lines . for straight writing ; and, like all kingly correspondence, begins at' the top, and has the signature close at the end. We copy it, exactly in the form of the original :—" Lord Guildford. I hope the Country Air has been more beneficial to You during this very uncommon warm Weather, as You seemed to suffer so much when I saw You last in Town. I shall now establish myself for good at Windsor until my Month is up, & therefore desire Lord Guildford not to think of coming himself next Month, but let Mr. Mathias come as usual in the Country. The Usual Sum for my lying in will I think not be Necessary till then, but should it happen sooner any directions from You to Mr. Mathias will be sufficient to have it in readiness whenever I call for it. We have the finest Rain here ever since four o'Clock this Morning. I hope You have Your share of it also, as I am sure You must relish (it) as well as we do.—CHARLOTTE. N. L.

For many years numbers of our young men have an-' " a lly left the place of their birth, to reside in our American colonies, the United States, South Africa, or some of the colonies in the South Seas. This has not arisen from a want of patriotism, or a craving desire for change ; but from a wish to elevate their social and physical condition. They feel their energies cramped, and therefore seek a community where oppressive mo nopolies and unjust starvation laws do not prevent the accomplishment of their desires : our sons love home, but they rather sacrifice it than live in penury and want. It would be well if the denial of cheap bread and free trade only compelled a portion of the younger members of our community to leave us ; but this is not the case. This year, owing to the stagnation of trade, and the very high price of provisions, emigration from Nottingnam, hes con s id era bl y i ncrease d ; no t on ly have num bers otf the flower o f ou r y o uth, of both sexes, left home, bo in many c a s es th e age d s ire has been compe lle d the wreck of his once flourishing bus iness, United a nd to seek a home and bread for his little ones one fact we will i s States, or some of our own colonies. mention, which has been recently cornrounied wagesto may be had towards that new in Texas, has drawn general attent io n a a t to us : the news that cheap bread and high republic, and a number of respe cta blewar for the purpose of g n large families, have united. together t ra desmem, with "the Italy of America," as me et go once or twice a week, for the purpose com municating information to i it g is in termed a body, ; n theseex. of t h e country of their intended adoption, a each other, respect 1n0• .

This-is a striking truth, and speaks volumes as to the present unhappy state of Not tingham. Then there are also some who meditate an early settlement in America, and others who intend going speedily to New Zealand, " The garden of the South Seas," and a few to the various Australian colo nies.—Nottingham Review. SUICIDE OF AN ENGLISH OFFICER IN PARIS.—This morning, very early (writes our Paris correspondent on Thursday), an English naval officer, named Charteris, residing at an hotel in the Rue de Ri voli, threw himself from the third floor into the street. Both his legs were broken, and his skull was fractured. He survived about two hours, but in a state of insen sibility. There can be no doubt that this fatal act was the result of insanity. Before he committed it he had burnt-all his - effects, even to the clothes which he had worn the preceding day. He was about 45 years of age. [We believe the officer here alluded to is Lieutenant Charles Charterisi On Friday morning, at half-past eleven o'clock, an inquest was taken before Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the house No. 9, Grove road, St. John's Wood, on view of the liody of :grow Mitchell, Esq., aged 64, a gentle man ei independent fortune, who committed suicide by shooting himself. Evidence to that effect haying been adduced, the Jury, after a lengthened discussion, re turnad a.verdict, "That the deceased was found dead of certain mortal injuries inflicted on himself with a pistol, and at the time of the suicide he was insane." We have pleasure in mentioning the following circumstance :—lt being found that the 98th Regiment, now on the point of embarkation for China, was short by fifty men of its complement, the provisional battalion at Chatham, composed of the depots of , several regiments, was paraded, and scarcely had the wder permitting them to volunteer into the 98th been mead, when 200 men stepped forth from the ranks, offering themselves as `•u lunteers for active service. THE NlS'!r Poo R-L A W.—The Woolwich, Dept ford, and Greenwich Union ali911; to PC dissolved, cn the ground of the immense pophlation of 'the tore pa rishes,'and the delay and inconvenience consequently ex perienced by the poor in obtaining relief. A great law authority has declared the proceedings of the New Poor law Commissioners to be perfectly illegal.—Kent Herald. Within the space of eight or ten days as many as fifteen persons have been committed to prison from the neighbourhood of Bradford, on charges of felony. Early on Tuesday morning the ground was covered with snow between this town and Margate, two or three inches thick, the sun shining as the day ad vanced it has disappeared. By arrivals we learn the French hills between Calais and Boulogne have also been covered with snow for the first time this season,-the weather having set in cold with frost two, or three days past.—Kent Herald. MATCHLESS EFFRONTERY. —• We are in formed, on undoubted authority, that Bogle, the hero of the " Bogle v. Lawson" case, has commenced another action against the Times newspaper fur libel; the alleged libel being stated to consist of the reported observations made upon him by the various speakers who have taken so active a part in the arrangements for the testimonial so well-merited by our able Contemporary.—Shipping Gazette. SUSPICIONS OF THE ORANGEMEN.—It iS quite manifest, from the tone taken by some of the Lon don journals in reference to the proceedings of the Irish Executive, that it was the intention of the extreme Liberal section of Sir Robert Peel's Cabinet to sacrifice the Irish Conservatives at the shrine of conciliation, and to prostrate the spirit of our party before the idol of po litical expediency. The sneering—indeed the insulting —tone in which that party is spoken of, and evidently per order, is but a poor requital for exertions made, and an ungrateful return for services rendered. Luckily for the existence of Lord De Grey's Administration— and still more fortunately for the peace and prosperity of the country, the sturdy stand made, and the bold reclama tion put forward, backed and supported as both were by the sense and concurrence of Protestant Ireland—have produced an effect so salutary, and at the same time so satisfactory, that we will not disturb the good feeling now existing, by prolonging a controversy, the cause of which has been so happily removed.—Dublin Evenin FA L MOUTH, Nov. 17.—Her Majesty 's packet Penguin, Lieutenant Leslie (late Luce), and the Lyra, Lieutenant Collier, were detained from sailing at the usual hour to-day, but it is probable they will proceed during the evening for their respective destinations, on the weather becoming more moderate. The Penguin has several passengers, chiefly for Jamaica. Lieutenant Wedderburn of the 52d ; Mr. Perry, the Misses Perry, governess, and maid servant ; Mr. Anderson, Mr. Mon santo, Mr. and Miss Knight, Mr. Moxey, Mr. Bissell, Mr. Gunter, Mr. Gardner, Mr. Evans, Mr. Flamant, Mr. Cumming, Mr. Adanis, Mr. Kirkwood, and Mi. Sinithett. The Lyra's passengers, for Havannah and Mexico, were Mr. and Mrs. Vaughan, Mr. and Mrs. Welsh and maid servant, Mr. Kerford, Mr. Ettles, Mr. Newall, and Fran cis Rouse. WRECK.—FOUR LIVES LOST.—.—DOVER, NOV. 18.—This morning the Confidence, of Barking, fishing-smack, was brought in here in tow of one of the Dover fishing vessels, with loss of mast, &c., and four of her crew. The disaster occurred in a sudden squall off the coast of Holland, about six o'clock on Sunday even ing ; and the wreck, after being driven about at the mercy of the winds and waves for about 24 hours, was picked up by our fishermen on Monday afternoon. The crew consisted originally of eight persons. At the time of the accident the Captain was on a visit on board of another vessel, a customary practice, we understand, in moderate weather, when little is doing in the,fishing de partment, as was the case in this instance. Three men and three boys were on the deck of the Confidence, when a gale came on suddenly, and a tremendous sea struck her, carrying away the mast, sails, and every part of the standing rigging, and washing overboard two men and three boys, all o whom perished except one little fellow, about 14 years of age, who caught hold of the boom as it floated at the vessel's side, and by this' means he was ultimately saved, after remaining a considerable time in the water. One of the men drowned was married, an other a young man just out of his apprenticeship; and the other two were mere youths. The investigation as to the cause of the death of a soldier belonging to the 65th regiment, has termi nated in a verdict of manslaughter against W. Irwin, the keeper of the shooting gallery at the Old Ring of Bells. Irwin has been committed to take his trial on the Coro ner's warrant. The body of the deceased was interred on the 10th inst., in St. Andrew's burial ground with military honours.—Plyinoutk Journal. Among the numerous disasters occasioned by the late floods in Dauphiny, the following is related : A Marge farmhouse, near the bridge at Tronchebourse, in the Isere, belonging to a M. Gras, was invaded and ultimately washed down by the force of the increased current of the Dolon. One of the men, in endeavouring to save the cattle, was carried away and drowned. M. Gras was with him, but could not save him. His wife, eldest daughter, and female servant were in one of the rooms, while two younger children were asleep in an ad joining one. The water came in so strong that they found it impossible to open the door, and were soon obliged to get upon a table. This soon began to float, and the only means they had of keeping it steady was by pre s s n i g . Gwri tas, h h e e a i r ri h o g a nds a thoir gai or n i e s s t f t o h r e r b e e l i a o m f, s m o a f n a t he ceil ing. ge dby knocking some bricks out of a wall which separated a hay-loft from the room next above it to make his way into it. Here he tore up two boards of the floor, broke a hole through the ceiling, and by it drew his wife, his daughter, and the servant up to him. As soon as these were safe, ho descended, got to the room of the other children, and rescued them also. The eldest, a boy two years old, was sleeping .in his bed, and the other, a little girl, not more than ten months, was equally tranquil in her cradle, although it was actually afloat. HIGHWORTH.—A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS.— On Thursday se'nnight, Mr. Williams, of this town, delivered his bill, which had been some time stand ing, to Mr. T. Sealey, at RoUnd Robin Farm. Seeley disputed the correctness of the bill, and without much ado, took his horsewhip, and laid the heavy butt end of it across Mr. Willi ams ' s h ea d, cu t his hat, and severely injured him ; he also got him on the ground and tram pled upon him. Mr. Williams at length rallied, and fought a round or two with success. After this conduct, what does Mr. Sealey do? Apologise, of course? No; he took his horse, rode to Swindon, and positively obtained.a. summons against Mr. Williams for an assault. The case was heard on the following:Thursday , arl d, t a il s o might be expected, dismissed---sealey having to'tlb ) i_ piper.

Then turning to the Stambol Effendesst (Mayor), he added, " I constitute you my representa tive—let two gentlemen go with you to certify your identity, and do you see that justice takes its course." The man quitted his hold of the stirrup —the procession moved on—and the others went straight to the Mekhemme. It turned out that the plaintiff having a piece of land which adjoined that of the govern ment at Adalia, the governor had, on some pretext or other, taken possession of it twenty-seven years before, notwithstanding that the owner held the title deeds. These documents were now produced, examined, and found to be in order, and the Sultan was condemned not only to restore the property, but to pay the proprietor the rent of it for twenty-seven years. All was done without a remark, and the man in a few days set out for Adalia. Previous to leaving the capital, however, Mah moud sent for him, complimented him on his spirited de termination, and loaded 'him with presents. He then dismissed 'fortunate subject with words to this effect, "Return home, and should any man wrong you, if the authoritio fail to do you justice, recollect I itm here•l7
