The Policies arc Indefeasible and Indisputable, unless they have been obtained by fraudulent misrepresentations. Any important mistake, or even an unintentional omission, in communicating information, in answer to the numerous questions put by other Companies, has the effect of annulling the policy, and forfeiting the premiums—thus rendering it in general a matter of uncertainty (until the claim comes to be made) whether the policy be of any value. The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Assurance Company, determined to obviate whas they consider injustice to the assured, satisfy themselves upon the various questions proposed by them before they enter into the contract of assurance, and frame their pu. licies in such terms as to preclude all future questions as to their validity, and thus render them indefeasible and indisput able documents of future debt. against the Company. The po licies of this Company may, therefore, be regarded as certain available future funds, and as unimpeachab'e and negotiable documents for pecuniary transactions. One-half of the Premiums may remain Unpaid for Seven Years, affording a greater facility for Loan Transactions and Family Provisions than any other plan which has been sug gested—allowing a Policy to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice—and entitling the Assured at a future period, when loss of health may prevent him from obtaining a New Assurance, to continue a Policy for double the amount of the sum for which he has paid Premiums. Parties may be assured either upon the participating or non participating plan ; the former are entitled to the whole of the profits upon that branch of the business, and the latter are as , sured for the lowest premiums compatible with perfect security.

CHRONICLE—The favourable impression which the news brought ty the Patrek Henry produced yesterday on the funds has been well sustained to-day, and the complete change of tone assumed by the Tory portion of the London press, in their remarks this morning, has added to the general con fidence in the maintenance of peace with America. There is a general feeling of satisfaction entertained in the City in consequence of the pacific character of the news now received, both from the United States and Paris. The anx iety and gloom which hung over the Money Market during the last year are beginning to disappear, and a brighter pros pect to show itself. We trust, also, to receive better accounts soon from the home manufacturing districts, where the unsettled state of our relations with America had produced a serious de pression, and many of the great mill owners were understood to have had recourse to short time. As their apprehensions of war must be very mneh removed, confidence will consequently revive, and activity again spring up in the execution of orders for the United States. At the same time we cannot look for a very great revival in our American trade until the currency and banking concerns of the Union are placed upon a more satisfactory footing. The various States, too, must be made to feel the necessity of proceeding vigorously in the work of maintaining their public credit, by bringing forward measures to ralie the means necessary by local taxation. Unless steps of this kind are adopted wherever there is a deficiency, and all intentions of repudiating State loans clearly and unambigu ously disclaimed by the state legislatures, it will be useless for the citizens of America to suppose that their national faith can he respected, and the classical allusions of the new President, in his Inaugural Address, to the virtues of the ancient repub lics of Greece and Rome will only excite derision. TIMES.—With money in an easy state, the Government securities have been tolerably firm, and the bargains were in amount of more than ordinary character. In the circles more immediately connected with the shipping interest the late conviction of the Wallaces, at the Central Criminal sittings, for fraudulent insurances, has created a good deal of anxiety, which has been much increased by rumours current to-day that a vessel which left England in the autumn of last year was sent out under similar circumstances to those adduced at those trials, and would probably meet the same fa e. It is not prudent at present to advert to these circum stances more in detail, but the eagerness evinced among the shipping interest for the exposure and punishment of such nefarious transactions is extreme, and highly creditable to them, though they need not fear any general imputations from such a cause, a remark which has been more than once hazarded. The character of the mercantile marine of England stands far too high to be affected by two or three isolated cases. The degree in which the colonies produce the staple articles of our home manufactures is always a matter of interesting in quiry. In this view attention may be usefully directed to pri vate letters recently received from Graham's Town, Cape of Good Hope, by which it appears that the sheep farmers of the eastern province of the Cape, 600 miles from Cape Town, are making great progress both in the number of their flocks and in the quality of their wool, though they have been much per plexed as to what kind they ought to produce, in consequence of the London market showing a great predilection in favour of .common wools. The forward flocks are for the most part Saxon, but many of these are being crossed with the Leicester breed, which, although it seems likely to cause a decline in the quality of the wool, is not regarded as a proceeding likely to be altogether unprofitable. POST.—A considerable business was done in the public securities to-day, and it was business of a more solid and bona fide description than usual, the transactions being confined al mostentirely to our home stocks and for money. London and Westminster Bank were done at 21 to 28 prem., and there was a demand for Commercial Bank of London shares at an improved quotation, but none were to be met with at the rates offered. Since the failure of Messrs. Wright and Co., of Covent-garden, several attempts have, we understand, been made to form a Roman Catholic private banking establish ment, but which, from various causes, have proved unsuccessful. It appears, however, that an arrangement has been concluded with the Commercial Bank for the opening of a branch in the West-end of the town, which is to have the support of that powerful connection. The banking premises re cently occupied by Messrs. Wright and Company, in Henrietta-street, have been purchased from the assignees of the late firm by the Directors of the Commercial Bank where it is intended to commence operations immediately. Several leading gentlemen have been induced to join the Beard of the latter, and, so great is the interest felt in the success of the undertaking, that a wealthy and highly influential Catholic nobleman has been named to us as having consented to become one of the trustees. The Commercial Bank has the advantage of being under the guidance of the most experienced and respect able managers that could probably have been secured for it, and it is in consequence of the additional scope that will now be afforded for their exertions in behalf of the proprietary, and the increased strength it has acquired through the accession of the parties to whom we have alluded, that the shares have been somewhat eagerly sought for by the dealers in this class of in vestments. Two of our Evening Contemporaries— The Sun mid Courier —give a sort of contradiction to what we have stated respect ing the sale by the British and American Steam Navigation Company of their steamers British Queen and President to the Belgian Government ; but they will, we have little doubt, discover, before long, that they have in so doing run a risk it was not altogether prudent to run without the most authentic information, and this we are very sure they cannot have ob tained. Applications were made to-day to the agents on the subject of tonnage by the President for her next voyage to New York, but the answer was, that no engagement could, for the present, be entered into, with regard either to goods or passengers, there being some uncertainty about the time of the President's departure. That vessel may, for aught we know to the contrary, undertake another passage out and home in the service of the Company. We do not pretend to be informed upon the parti cular point. She has yet to be " proved," as the British Queen had been, before the contract with the Belgian Govern ment can be deemed conclusive ; but we are, nevertheless, dis posed to believe that, with her voyage to Liverpool, now on the eve of its termination, the connection will cease between that beautiful vessel and her English owners. Antwerp seems more likely to be her destination the ensuing trip. Consider ing that the President had been advertised again to' leave Liverpool for New York on the 10th of next month, and that we are within fifteen days of the time, it is surely strange that the agents should reject freight and passengers, if it be intended that the two vessels shall continue running on account of the Company as heretofore, and this on the plea that there is a doubt about the day of sailing. HERALD.—The business activity in the home stocks to day showed something like a return to old times, and although no special rise in prices has to be noted, the general aspect of the market was of a more stable and satisfactory character than usually results on the occurrence of some strong and unexpec ted turn of prices one way or the other, which is generally succeeded by a proportionate state of depression or reaction. SUN.—The funds were improving again on the strength of the favourable accounts by the Patrick Henry. Consols for immediate tfansfer realised 88. to 88i, leaving off at 881 to 88i, and for the April ac count 881- to 89, the closing value being the highest. Exchequer Bills were a shade better, viz. ss. to 75. premium ; and the New Three-and-a- Hal Fier Cents. rose to 97* and 97k. There was a larger bona fide busi ness doing to-day than for many weeks past. The Foreign Bonds were dealt in to a greater extent, and were also more buoyant. The Activo Spanish Bonds to-day have been marked 23i to 23k, the Portuguese New Five per Cent. Stock has improved to 32i, but we only heard of one bargain at this leap from 31ii and 311, which were the previous quotations ; the Three per Cents. acre at a rally to 19 and 194 ; Mexican Five per Cents. were steady at 30, Chi Han at 63i to 62, Buenos Ayres at 23, and Brazilian at 711 to 711 ; French Thice per Cents. et 77f. 25c., and Dutch Five per Cents. at 99g. In the Foreign Market generally there was more business done, and the cause of the rise in Portuguese was said to be some favourable information received. _ The Railway Shares were brisk. Great Western were 24i to 25i ; the New 1 lk to 12k ; the Fifths 51 to 6k ; the Birmingham and London 61 ; the Thirds 19+ ; the New 21; the South Western 16a; and the York and North Midland 29i premium. The Brighton were 5i ; the North Midland 27 ; and the Edinburgh and Glasgow bk discount. British North American Bank Shares were 5 discount. The Foreign Exchanges were firm this afternoon, the rates being these :—Paris 25, 62 to 67i ; Amsterdam 12 3+; Antwerp 12, 21, 3 ; Hamburgh 13, Bi-, 9; Frank fort 150 ; and Trieste 10 Itolo 2. The rate on London comes over higher from Hamburgh, viz., 13 31. POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. The Times of this morning, speaking of the Poor-law Commissioners, with reference to last night's debate in the Commons on the subject, says—" The country by this time thoroughly understands the Commissioners anti their system ; and even amongst those who, by a strange inconsistency, voted last night against the limitation of their powers, individuals were not wanting who denounced in the strangest terms their arrogance of tone, their unchristian and uncharitable princi ples, their cruel dietaries, their harsh, oppres.ive, and imprac ticable rules."—The Morning Chronicle remarks, in allusion to the new Poor-law Bill :—" The Poor-law stalking-horse has failed the Tories. The revision of the Bill has un masked their hollow pretensions. In whatever mitiga tions could he effected, the lead has been taken by their opponents. The Standard has lustily cried shame on the Conservatives, although the Standard never worked the unpopularity of the law as an instrument of public delusion like the Times. Sir Robert Peel's unmeaning proposition of five years instead of ten—a term too short for settled authority, and too long for experiment and the prospect of further revision, is all that Toryism, as a pasty, has dune on this occasion. And so that weapon also has fallen from their hands. They have lost their only hold upon the multitude." — The Morning Post observes, in a leading article suggested by some recent Conservative pamphlets:—" The Ministerial fac tion regard Sir Robert I'eel, and not without reason, as the most formidable of their opponents. But they do not act wisely in getting up sham pamphlets in the name of.' "an servative Members," for the purpose of creating,_. not impression that the great Conservative statesman .07 , the enjoy the unqualified confidence of the State, of which he is the recognised leader. Such .to them a y ks indi cate too plainly that the party which descends powerful resort to state of its is on its last legs, and is conscious of the desperate,su ms. As affairs. The folly of such self-exposure the l uesti ut to honesty, that, of course, is quite out of qon , surely the Whig-Radicals might have been expected to retain so much self-possession and cunning in their downfal as not to proclaim to all the world the excess of terror and of hatred with which th e y regard the leader of the ihalanx that has overwhelmed and crushed them. "—The Morn ing Herald thus expresses itself on the subject of th e doctrines of Puseyism That such opinions must quickly plunge men either. into Popery or infidelity, is too plain to re quire any demonstrat i on ; and that som e l ou d , decisive, and unanimous d ec laration of the whole B enc h o f Bi shops should take place re s p ectin g such anti-Pr o t es t ant, ay, suc h ant i - Christian, speculation, is also a matt er w hi c h must occur to ' men of ordinary understandings.

LITERATURE. COMPTON AUDLEY. 3 Voss. Bentley, London, 1841. The heroine of this love-tale is one of those barley-sugary young ladies, all sweetness, soft ness, and sensibility, whose hearts, though con stantly threatening to break beneath the burden of affliction, yet prove on trial to be as tough as the drumstick of a turkey. Lady Constance—for such is the baptismal appellative of this suscepti ble young gentle woman—is of course highly born, and exquisitely beautiful ; and equally as a mat ter of course she falls in love with a young man, by name Dudley Ravensworth, who has u a pro fusion of dark brown hair, fine large (lark eyes, and a frank, open, and ingenuous countenance." The parties had first become acquainted while rambling among the sequestered shades of Gra ham Castle, and there was "an undefined and strange intelligence which informed them that they were growing inexpressibly dear to each other." But unluckily the parents of these enamoured turtles had no notion of their billing and cooing with impunity ; and ac cordingly, the mother of Lady Constance insisted on her dismissing her sweet-heart ex tempore, and marrying a middle-aged aristocrat, Lord Atherley—who, we must honestly confess, is a man very much to our taste, for he is repre sented as possessing sound common sense, es chewing sentiment, and having an enlightened appreciation of the comforts of a good dinner. With considerable difficulty, and not before she has wetted through and through at least a dozen cambric pocket-handkerchiefs, Constance is pre vailed on to marry this " monster"—as of course she considers him to be—and a very touching scene ensues, when Dudley is first made ac quainted with her faithlessness. He instantly rushes abroad in a paroxysm of wrath; figures heroically in a tournament at Vienna, " mounted on a red roan charger, and armed in a complete suit of Milan steel ;" gets stuck in the arm with a lance at Waterloo; and finally, comes back to England, where he re , news his acquaintance with Constance, very much apparently to their mutual satisfaction. The lady, however, being singularly discreet and moral, no harm ensues from the renewal of her old in tiinacy with her " sweet-heart ;" ,and they go on flirting with each other in the prettiest and most innocent way possible ; till by the death of Con stance's husband, she is again left free to choose for herself. Virtue now meets with its reward ; she marries Dudley Ravensworth, and is exceed ingly happy for one whole year; but at the end of that time, Dudley begins to tire of do mestic felicity ; the organ of infidelity also be comes powerfully developed on his occiput ; the natural consequence of which is, that he takes unto himself a mistress, and falls into a violent rage, whenever he finds his wife—who has dis covered his baseness—with her pocket-handker chief at her eyes. Thus matters go on for a time—she sighing, he swearing—till at length a oung " lady-killer," yqept Sidney Darval, steps In with his ;oft, wicked speeches to the deceived Constance; falls down on his knees before her; presses her lily hand to his lips; and would, no doubt, have succeeded in inveigling her into a chaise and four, and ultimately in consigning her to the tender mercies of Doctors' Commons, had not her husband at that ticklish moment burst open-mouthed into the room. A duel with Dar val is the consequence. The parties meet at Boulogne ; Ravensworth is shot as dead as mut ton; and Constance soon afterwards dies of grief. It will be observed from this slight sketch that there is not the slightest atom of originality in Compton Audley. Its incidents, indeed, are about as common-place as can well be imagined ; its sentiment is false and sickly throughout ; but it contains one or two lively scenes, and adroit sketches of worldly, every-day character, which show that the author possesses something like genuine humour. If it were not for these few redeeming scenes, the story would be as unread able as one of Dr. Phillpotts's Episcopal charges. JESSE'S WINDSOR AND ETON. Murray, London, 1841. _ A very pleasant, g'ossipping little volume, em bellished with a variety of choice engravings, and admirably calculated to serve the purpose of a guide-book to those who may be disposed to pay a visit to Windsor Castle, and spend a long summer's day in its delightful neighbourhood. The most interesting portion of the book is the account of the opening of the coffin of Charles the First in the year 1813, when the features of the King were found in a state of tolerable pre servation, and all present were struck with the re semblance which they bore to his Majesty's busts, coins, and pictures by Vandyke. WAYERLEY NOVELS, VoL. 1. Cadel4 Edinburgh, 1841. These unrivalled fictions are now republishing in a royal octavo and duodecimo form, and both editions are to be comprised, one in five volumes, and the other in twenty-five, which are to appear monthly until the whole work is completed. The first volume of the duodecimo, and the first part of the royal octavo editions are now lying before us and considering their cheapness —tor each costs only four shillings—we are astonished at the neatness and elegance with which they are got up. That the speculation will be a highly successful one we have' not the slightest doubt, for each monthly part or volume is to contain a complete story, together with all the prefaces, introductions, and explanatory notes, that were attached to the celebrated edition of 1830. The Waverley novels, hitherto inaccessible to a large class of readers, will thus be brought within the reach of people of the humblest means, for a sav ing of a shilling weekly is all that is necessary. e can conceive no greater boon to the rising generation in this age of steam-engines and rail roads, than the republication, at so moderate a price, of the most beautiful series of fictions that the world"has yet seen. EDINBURGH CABINET LIBRARY. VOLS. 29, 30, 31. Oliver and Boyd, Edinburgh, 1841. These volumes comprise a history of Italy and the Italian Islands from the earliest ages to the present time, and are the production of Mr. Spalding, Professor of Rhetoric in the University of Edinburgh. This gentleman has accomplished a difficult task with considerable ability ; his narrative is easy and flowing; and it is manifest in every chapter of his history that he has spared neither pains nor research. The result is a tem perate and impartial work, which may vie with the best of its kind in modern historical litera ture. We are glad to hear of the increasing po pularity of the " Edinburgh Cabinet Library," for it is carried on with spirit, and the subjects discussed are in general well chosen. PRIEST OF THE NILE. 2 V°Ls. Whittaker, London, 1841. ' This is an Egyptian romance founded—as may be inferred from its title—on some incidents in the early and most perplexing history of that country. There is some ability displayed in the conduct of the story, but we fear its interest is 7-/ ,12 EVENING EDITION and reason."—The Morning Advertiser, recurring to the New Poor-Bill, observes as follows :—" There can be no ques • Lion that many humane amendments might be made, xm-re especially in -the out-door and relief clauses. The public will not—cannot bear them. They are cruel, inhuman, and im practicable; and further, they prevent the exercise of Judg ment on the part of local authorities." STATES OF NASSAU. WIEABADSH, MARCH 20.—According to express orders from his Serene Highness the Duke, his Excellency Count de Walterdorf opened to-day the Assembly of the States by the following speech:— " Gentlemen,—His most Serene Highness the Duke has deigned to charge me with the opening of the present session of the States. The revision of the taxes on forests, prescribed by the law, to which you gave your assent last year, is ended, and the collection according to the new :T. gister of lands will commence from the current year. By that means the inequalities have teen removed, which wits time and circumstances had been appercnt in the system oi taxation of landed property. Lii.tewise the manufacturing interests, having experienced 'many changes since the ordonnance of 1822, which. fixes the tax in that respect, a revision has become a necessity, in order to establish a per fect equality in our system of direct taxation, based upon contributions divided in proportion to the net revenue. A project of law on this matter will be submitted to you for your assent. The redemption of the tithes has been pre pared by detailed labours. In order to remove the diffi culties which, in the course of business, night be eppoied to the supply of the necessary capital for the said re,ietrir. tion, a modification of the law will be proposed to you. The provisional Budget of expenses which will Le sub mitted to you according to order, and with the usual regula. rity, will convince you that our finances continue to be in a very satisfactory state. Extiaordinary expenses have been rendered necessary by events, in order to place the Government in a position to meet all its engagements with the Confederation. Nevertheless the direct taxes, to the great satisfaction of his most -Serene Highness the Duke, will only experience an increase of huif a quota of the ordinary taxes. Three quotas and a half will be sufficient to cover the expenses of the State. In the name of his Seret.e Highness the Duke I declare that the Diet for the year 1841 is open.—Frankfort Journal. ADVERSE OPINIONS IN 155 . 5 011 THE UTILITY OF FORTIFYING PARIS. The question of the utility of surrounding Paris with fortifications is by no means a new one. We have now before us two theses on the subject, printed in Paris in the year 1555, and of which a few copies have just been re printed at Harrburgh by order of Government. One of these supports the utility of fortifyi g Paris, and is entitled " Pro novis urbis Parisiorum mcernbus c c propugna:ulis Oratio prima Francesci TApin 4 ." The other, which expa tiates on the inconvenience which would arise from the execution of such a measure, is headed " Secunda superioti contraria, a Tussano Putano, habita quod urbis Parisiorum mcenibus cingenda non sit." The following a. c the principal arguments in favour of the measure. Aristotle himself has . de.!!a! 13.1 that a repub lic could not. have elements of duration and prosperity, if it was not sheltered from fear of hostile invasion. Nume rous examples could be adduced to show the utility of for tifying Paris. How often has that city become the prey of a handful of conquerors? The events of the wars with England are too well known tl need recapitulation. It would be a folly to suppose that the courage of its inhabit. tants is the stronge.t wall of a town. If Lycurgus acted according to such a principle, it was because he wished to make the Spartans a distinct race of men. Is not the opinion of Aristotle a wiser one, especially when we reflect that the system of war is no longer the same as it was formerly. Is it not now carried on with instruments of destruction unknown to the ancients ? But it will perhaps be asked, why erect fortifications when we are not menaced with war ? Would it not be better to fortify the frontier ? Will the enemy easily penetrate into the heart of the kingdom ? This argument is void of sense, for who can foresee the chances of fortune ? Why should money be regretted when public safety is in question? The contradictory thesis contains the following argu ments:— _ _ Would it not be shameful if men, who have never tum bled in the most dreadful wars' and who have ever bravely repulsed their enemies, should have degenerated so much as to believe themselves in safety but behind ramparts T What will the enemy say when ho learns that a panic has seized us in the very heart of the capital ? How great will his pride be at such intelligence I We perhaps shall be told, that when a city is net fortified, it is necessary for the citizens to be ever on the alert to guard themselves against snares and stratagems, and that no means of safety would remain were an enemy to come up with superior' forces. Nevertheless, it is necessary to make a choice be.. tween bravery and fortifications. If bravery be preferred, these sheltaea will be given up to women : if, on the con-, trary, fortifications carry the point, adieu intrepidity and all warlike virtues I Fortifications are considered as a guarantee of safety ; this is evidently a mistake. How did the Perfians, the Macedonians, the Romans, and the Athenians attain their military glory ? Was it by fortifications or ramparts? As suredly not. It was by their courage that the Romans overcame Hannibal and Pyrrhus. The Babylonian wall has been greatly vaunted. The wall was a hundred cubits high, the tower were highitr than the wall, the citadel was a prodigy, yet, nevertheless, Babylon could not resist Alexander. Let us further ob serve that the nations that have surrounded themselves . . with walls have degenerated from the valour of their an cestors. Lycurgus was asked one day why the citivns of Lacedemon were under arms, and his reply was, .‘ They are the walls of the city." Agesilaus was asked where were the limits of Laconia. The Spartan King replied that they bad no limits but the brow of:a-javelin. Epaminondas, to stimulate the courage of the Thebans, and to humiliate Lecedemonis, caused the walls of Th, bee to be destroyed. The consequence of this was, the The bans, who till then had bzen obscure, became victorious. Did the Germans require walls to overcome tiae Ro mans ? If we must have fortificati,ws, why not fort;fy our frontiers, which are exposed to the incursions of the enemy, unless it be intended to erect a citadel for civil seditions, and wars which might draw down heavy calamities on the nation ? WOOLWICH, MARCH 26. Upwards of 30 recruits have joined from Ireland during the present week. Recruiting in England and Ssotland is at a stand-still, only one recruit having arrived from Aberdeesa. Something ought to be done soon to remedy this evil, which is almost, if not entirely, attributed to the pension warrant re ducing the reward for 21 years' active service to 6d a day. The Pique, 36 guns, Captain E. Boxer, was towed from Sheerness to Chatham, by the Salamander steam-frigate, to be paid off. The Asia, 84 guns, Captain W. Fisher, recently returned from the Mediterranean, was towed into Sheerness, on Wed nesday, by the Salamander steam-frigate, for the purpose of being paid off, inspected, and recommissioned. 'I he Asia is a splendid ship, built of African teak, and was the tlag-ship of Admiral Sir Edward Codrington at the battle of Navarino. The timber of this is so hard that cannon-balls make very little impression upon it. The Firebrand, steam-vessel, Master S. B. Cook, left Wool wich, ou Wednesday, with Sir Charles Adam, Mr. M. O'Fer rall, and Mr. Charles Wood, and several other gentlemen on board, for Sheerness, for the purpose of inspecting the Asia, and they returned in the Firebrand this morning. Their Lordships immediately afterwards returned to town. The Drake sailed for Chatham on Thursday morning. DESPERATE OUTRAGE.—A few days ago two, waiters, one an Englishman and the other a Frenchman, in the employ of Messrs. Denier, Vantini, and Co., the proprietors of the Royal Victoria Hosel, at the termi nus of the Birmingham Railway, bad a serious quarrel, and the latter took advantage of the former, and nearly killed him. It appears that the English waiter, Jo seph Gardener, and the French waiter, who went by the name of " Francois," had been for some time upon ill terms, in consequence of a disagreement upon the late question at issue between England and Franco upon Eastern affairs. About eight o'clock on Saturday evening last they met together on one of the stair cases of the hotel, at which time Francois had in his hand a large can, containing several quarts of boiling water. A dispute arose, which ended in the Frenchman pouring the whole contents of the can over the bannisters upon the head of his adversary, who was upon the landing below him, and then throwing the can itself at him. The screams of the unfortunate man called to his a ssistance several of the other domestics. He was conveyed into his bedroom, and a surgeon inatastly sent for, when it was discovered that he was so frightfully scalded that his akin was completely peeled off his head, neck, and face. In formation of the occurrence was conveyed to the Albany street Police-station, and an officer was sent to take paesing Franceis into custoJy ; but, whilst seqrehing the hotel, pie latter effected his escape by means of a ston Hotel tunnel under ground, and communicatirg with the d E on tke opposite side of the terminus. Gar an u er is still it: a very deplorable state.
