THE WATERMEN AND POLICE The following case came before the sitting Magistrate at Greenwich yesterday. We are glad tc find that Mr. Grove is net always wrong. It is certainly strange that the Commissioners of Police should allow a constable to interfere between the rival Companies, and be paid by one of them. We should like to know if the salary for the constable who receives 21s. a week for acting as pri vate Waterman, is also charged to the parish rates. George Little, a waterman belonging to the steamer Waterman No. 3, was brought before Mr. Grove, charged with committing an assault on Joseph llolloway, a police-constable 197 R. It appears that a furious rivalry exists between the original Woolwich steam boat Company, of which Mr. Nokes, Clerk of the Court, is Solicitor and Secretary, and the Waterman's Com pany, more recently established. The Waterman's boats land and embark passengers at the ancient plying place, called the "Bell Water-gate ;" the Old Co m p an y' s boats at Roff's Wharf, adjoining to which there is egress from the street, called Bell Water-gate as well as from the High-street. Several persons were coming down the street towards the water-side on Wednesday evening, and from the testimony of the policeman it seemed that Little went up to them for the purpose of touting for the Waterman No. 3, then about to depart for London. Tho policeman interfered, and told Little not to obstruct the passengers4but to let them proceed to which boat they pleased ; and observing a hostile movement on the part of Little, as if he was about to strike him, be collared him, and said he must t a k e hi m to the station-house. Little resisted, and said he would not go, and a struggle took place, during which the policeman was struck ; and other watermen taking part with Little, who they believed was ill-used. declared that he should not go ,to the cage, and the policeman was severely beaten and thrown down, and it was not until other assistance arrived from the sta tion-house that the riot could be put down, and Little secured. In cross-examination, the policeman sa id M r . Roff paid 21s. p er wee k to the Commissioners of Police, for him to be stationed at Roff's Wharf, to keep good order, and that Roff received pier dues from the old Company, and it was his particular duty to attend to Roll's Wharf. He swore that lie never interfered with passengers for either Company, but he cleared the way as much as possible for people coming to the old Com pany's boats, at Roirs Wharf; and that Hoff employed " touters," with whom he did not interfere. Bell Water gate was a plying place for watermen, and was marked with the broad arrow, according to Act of Parliament, but he did not consider Little was plying, although he knew he belonged to the Waterman steamer. John Young, a touter in the employ of, the old Wool wich Company, swore that the passenE,reri coming down the Bell Water-gate, which was the direct way to the • Waterman No. 3, were on their way to the old Wool wich Company's boat, and that he spoke to them before Little, i who caused an o b struction ; and when the police man interfered, Little severely beat him, and other wateriness joined in the affray. On cross-examination it appeared the watermen had a legal right, derived from immemorial custom and the statute law, to ply for hire in the plying place, and that all that could be charged against Little, who was a large shareholder in the Waterman's Company, and a very re spectable man, was that he was about to speak to the passengers coining down the plying place, previous to Holloway interfering with him. Mr. Grove said the policeman had mistaken his duty, and had no right to interfere, and that the assault he complained of was consequent upon the illegal caption. It was a great pity that policemen were employed in the matter, and they should only interfere when they saw a breach of the peace committed, and not act as partisans. He doubted whether there had been any obstruction at all. The policeman had no right to stop any man from standing on the public footpath, or to push any man off the pavement. The defendant had as much right to stand on the footpath as he had to walk upon it. Although Holloway was not paid by the Old Company for his ser vices, th e Commissioners were, and it was evident he had much feeling and partiality for them. Holloway had no right to apprehend Little, or to lay a finger upon him. Mr. Grove discharged the defendant. conLseOquNeDncOebTof AthNeDlateßacßeiGdelinTt,Othile RAILWA Y .—In Railwayßrighton Board have determined to discontinue the use of fou r wheel en g i nes , and to place a luggage box immediate ly after the engine and tender.

Respect this. The Emperor has also conferred rewards of tens of taels of silver on many other officers; and has made somo regulations, founded on the Report of the Cabinet, on the allowance of rico to the families of the soldiers of the white, yellow, and blue banners. The Cabinet re commended that the allowance be henceforth fixed at 80,000 shih (of about 901 b. each); but the Emperor says if this quantity is found to be superabundant it is to be reduced one-half. The manlier of its distribution is to be reported. Respect this. PROCLAMATION BY THE THREE IMPERIAL COMMISSIONERS, OFFERING REWARDS FOR THE BODIES, DEAD on ALIVE, OF HER MAJESTY'S PLENIPOTENTIARY, BREMER, MOR RISON, DENT, THOM, KEA HEAPS (?) By the Rebellion -quelling Generalissimo Yih, and the selected assistant great Ministers, Yang and Lung, a per spicuous proclamation, to be circulated everywhere, con cerning a universal conferment of rewards. As to the fint reward, he who obtains it shall obtain favour and honour in the eyes of his countrymen, be coming the most eminent of worthies ; his merit will be extraordinary. In crooked and difficult emergencies, then is the time to use all men of superior talent. The English rebels, since the past year, when they threw in the apple of discord at Tinghae, until now have been rebelling against Heaven, and perversely opposed to reason ; domineering and avaricious, depending upon their numbers, they attacked and laid in ruins the fron tiers, and from the profligacy of their dispositions, aban doned themselves to lewdness and robbery ; dug up the graves. But what crimes had the decayed bones com mitted ? Burnt and laid in ruins the fields and huts ; and the pe o pl e ' s f at i s a l together exhausted ; they have peeled the flesh and drunk the marrow ; and the crow of the cock and the bark of the dog are sounds that have been cut off from myriads of families ; and chil dren of three cubits in height have nut escaped a loss of chastity and defilement of their persons ; and now they have come to Canton, and with more false pretexts seek for reconciliation, taking advantage of our being unpre pared, and with fox-like cunning (implying we are foxes charged into men) they seduce both those abroad and at home to become traitors, and with rat-like irresolution their furtive glances are the curse of China ; this is what causes the hearts of men both far and near to grieve, and the middle and outside nations to gnash their teeth. We have received the imperial orders to apply our selves to one purpose only—that of subjugation, and to lead on the troops to extermination, and rescue the people on the frontiers out of the water and fire, and seize the rebellious seed as the King-e* fish, devour its flesh, and deep in its skin. We early exhort the people to strengthen their reso lution, and to clap the King-e on its back and grasp its horn; let all strenuously unite their minds and strength. Ye civil and military officers, country gentlem en an d scholars of Cant on are generally said to love righteous ness, and hitherto have cultivated the principles of reason, and your whole province teems with plenty and happiness; your resources are illimitable ; the winds and clouds now collecting in harmony, your whole dependence is now on excellent stratagem s , and all are gr a t e f u ll y i nc i ted by the desire o f th e Holy Lord to save his people; you all have Heaven's warrant for the merit of destroying all your enemies (i. e. if you conquer the English you will never have another equal), and to build up prosperity and happiness in your several neighbourhoods, and again have your names engraved for meritorious loyalty on bamboo and silk ! and have the official patents hanging down with pendant seals ; and we, the great officers, summons those who possess the knowledge of right prin ciples ; then plenty and national happiness will visit us, and the people will ,enjoy the blessings of peace. We, the Generals, hold by our oaths as water, and grasp the laws as a mountain ; when issuing orders, we act up to them, and will not postpone our rewards ; we again, therefore, issue these commands, and distinctly arrange the scale of rewards. Repay (them) for having involved you in Calamit y and revenge those who sacrificed their lives for their. country ; when we can on the morning report yeur merits to the Emperor, you will is the evening be proclaimed on the list of the meritorious. Ye, soldiers and people, take care not to commit yourselves as the Chusanites ; then, perhaps, you will be as firm as the rocks, in the pearly sea ; let each obey this implicitly ; slight it not. A special proclamation. The following is the scale of rewards.

Various rewards and remissions of punishments for crimes committed are then promised to various natives for seizing and killing Englishm en , and also punish ments for those who use our goods or supply us with necessaries; but want of time obliges us to defer their translation until the next publication of the Register. PROCLADIATION BY THE LADS OF THIRTY-SIX VILLAGES ROUND CANTON, TO THE ENGLISH BARBARIANS. The inhabitants of the provincial city of Canton and of each of the villages and hamlets clearly proclaim to the English barbarians as follows: This proclamation is issued because you have opposed the troops of the celestial dynasty, entered and attacked places in the inner waters ; this proves your utter disre gard of the laws ; and it is also well known that Elliot and his colleagues are stupid people, who wish to change our manners by newfangled and exotic doctrines ; and although we are but small country people, we are still les enfans of the Emperor, who are regardful of our selves and of our families, and also of our native country and possess hearts that to the last cherish our fathers and mothers. The defence of our native place and of ourselves and families was first committed to the care of stout and valourous soldiers ; but now, being excited and united by one feeling of indignation, why should we trouble the public officers to grasp their spears, for at one war-cry numberless excited hands (men), will gather together_ - Whose swords are a thousand, whose bosoms are one; who of themselves will be equal to the slaughter of your hated species. We are true to the last of our blood and our breath. And like reapers descend to the harvest of death. Then welcome—. But woe to your kindred and woe to your cause, When China her weapon indignantly draws. At this moment ye are secretly practising diabolical arts; and, unnaturally profligate as the the bird, yo have usurped possession of Hong Kong, and have hoped to seize the taxes of Government It is authenticated that when ye were at Tinghae, ye debauched men's wives and daughters; and all your proceedings have been lawless. The measure of your crimes and wickedness is full, and how can we, the people of the province, sit still and wit ness the seizure (of the 5,000,000 of dollars). Hitherto we have hidden ourselves, and h ave not raised our heads; all being on the verge of terror and not in will and deter mination together united; but henceforth, we have all bound ourselves by a solemn oath; yet being impeded by the peaceful measures of the public officers, we did for a s hy joinrt tim battlee retire to our diff erent v i llages, not presuming Hitherto H e haVe practised the sacred precepts that have been handed down to us ; and we are perfectly well • King-e—a fabulous fish; nsed .

ADDITIONAL P ROCLAMATIONS ON, THE PART OF THE BRITISH PLENIPOTENTIARY. PROCLA (TRANSLATION.) XATION TO THE PEOPLE OF CANTON BY THE BRITISH PLENIPOTENTIARY. Elliot, the British Plenipotentiary, issues this Procla mation fur the proper underst an di ng of affairs. The high o ffi cer of the great flourishing nation (Eng land) reflecting that all the western nations having car ried on for many and successive years commerce with the merchants and people of the province of Canton, in mu tual security and tranquillity, he has in consequence, again and a third time spared the city ; and, moreover, he has refrained from heaping calamities on the mer chants and people ; and this is known to all men! Now I, a public officer and great minister, having be fore delivered up the forts, the Imperial Commissioner and great Minister (Keshan) took into consideration measures which would restore matters to a fixed and tranquil state, in order that hereafter the two nations, the- great and flourishing (England) and the great and pure (China), might on the whole manage and settle their affairs well, and to the exclusion of all difficulties. And afterwards, indeed, the batteries might again be put in a state of defence. Now, upon examination, it will be found that the said Imperial Commissioners and great Ministers broke their engagement, and again presumed to fortify the batteries ; and further, they brought in from every province new raised levies of troops, which successively entered the provincial city, and they proceeded to prepare secret plans of attack on the English forces ; for if the troops were only intended to protect the c it y , h ow can t h e i r proceedin gs bo otherwise explained ,? .Try to think a little, oye people ! Formerly, when we joined in bat tle, who was it who preserved your lives, property, and the exercise of your dia.rent occupations ? Are you to be thankful to the Imperial Commissioners and great Mi nisters, who have brought in troops from all the other provinces-- Brisk are the troops all roaring like thunder, Eager for battle, impatient for plunder— or for the favours which you have received from the high officer of England, by whom you have been protected? Moreover, at the present time, the cantonments of troops from the different provinces are oppressing the good and industrious people; and if they are allowed to remain inevitable ruin and utter destruction will be brought on the city, reaching to and involving the whole population; on this account it is right to issue a proclama tion, for. the full information of all the inhabitants of the provincial city of the province of Canton. If, except the usual garrison of officer and troops, the Imperial Commissioners and great ministers, with the cantonments of troops from the different provinces now here, do not leave the city in one day, and if the whole number do not depart from the province of Canton and go to the north, then the High Officer of England will be unable to protect the multitude in the city, but he must lead on his troops and take the city by storm, and con fiscate all the property inside the city, on account of his country; but, if, indeed, the Imperial Commissioner and Great Minister will in a day's time peaceably withdraw the troops, affairs may still be adjusted. I, a public officer and great Minister, am a man desi rous of managing affairs with , calm consideration, and the intelligent high officers of my country arc well prac tised in the dispositions of all foreigners, and we unite with our whole hearts with the Supreme Ruler in his pe culiar duty, to cause the people of the land and their fami lies to increase in prosperity, and protect them from un prepared-for calamities. The Imperial Commissioners and great Ministers have not any part of their families or the least property within the city ; they are, therefore, regardless of the prosperity of the province of Canton, and are only mindful to make false reports for their own profit ; therefore they have led on officers and sol diers, which will only be the cause of disturb ances and confusion; for they (the officers and soldiers), seeing at a glance that the people of the city have become rich by their commerce with foreign nations, will seize the opportunity of plundering thein ; on this account it is imperatively necessary that ye should with one mind and united strength urgently importune the Imperial Commissioners and great Ministers, with all who are attached•to the army, immediately to retire peaceably from the city and return to the north ; and then th e whole city and pro v i nce w i ll be preserved from the cala mities of war. ,Let all, all think on and attentively con sider this. Hasten ! hasten ! A special proclamation. Fourth moon, 2d day (May 22). • TO THE PEOPLE OF CANTON. ELLIOT, &C. It is well known to all the people of Canton, that the city and the whole trade of the province have twice been spared by the high officers of Great Britain, in recollec tion of the long and peaceful intercourse which has sub sisted between them and the western nations. But now it is clearly ascertained, that the three High Commissioners have violated the agreement lately entered into with the British officers, by arming one of the forts, given up to them on the distinct assurance that no guns should be put there, till all the difficulties were settled between the two nations. And it is further known to the English officers that fresh troors are constantly poured into the city from the other provinces, and that secret preparations are in pro gress to attack the British forces, who are the real pro tectors of the city. Let the people remember the hour of battle, and con sider whether they owe the safety of their lives and pro perties to the wisdom and valour of the Commissioners from the Court, and the troops of the other provinces, or to the forbearance of the British officers. The troops of the other provinces are no more than • scourges to the good and industrious inhabitants and if they are suffered to rem a i n i n C anton, they will draw down destruction upon the city, and upon tho wealth of the whole province. It is now, therefore, plainly proclaimed to the people • of the city and province of Canton, that if the Com - missioners and all th e ot h er troops, except those of ' the province of Canton, have not departed from the city (with an understanding that they shall imme diately leave the province) within twelve hours, the high officers of the English nation will be obliged to withdraw their protection from the city, and take mili tary possession of it, confiscating all the property to the Queen of England. But if the Commissioners and their troops do indeed retire within the period indicated, it will still be possible to enter into arrangements with the high officers of the province, prudent men, acquainted with the foreign cha racter, mindful of the lives and property of the p eo pl e , and responsible to the E m peror f or their safety. The Commissioners have no property at stake in Can ton, and care nothing for the prosperity of 'the province, but desire only to make reports which may servo their interests at Court. The troops they have brought with them are anxious for trouble and confusion, that they may plunder the city, enriched by the foreign trade. Let the people of Canton, as one man, call for the de parture of the Commissioners and their troops, and by these means it will still be possible to save the city and the whole province from the Miseries of war.

Let all the people of Canton understand that they may return and continue their pursuits in peaceful security, whilst the high officers are faithfully fulfilling their en gagements. The recent hostilities in this province haie been against the will of the high British officers, and are attri butable to the breach of faith and violence of the Imperial Commissioners ; for, although the general measures against the Imperial Court will not be relaxed till full justice be done, assuredly there never would have been any disturbance of the people of Canton and this pro vince, unless it had been provoked by the misconduct of the Imperial Commissioners.

H. MOUNTAIN. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. Last night, a few minutes past eleven o'clock, an alarming and destructive fire was discovered by police constable 136 F, on duty, passing the premises of Mr. Twelvetr ee , an extens i ve cow-keeper, residing in Princes street, Lincoln Inn-fields. He immediately gave an alarm, and the fire-engines were sent for, and in less than fire minutes afterwards were on the spot, and were got into immediate operations, followed by others in rapid succession, but the flames had in a few minutes after the outbreak gained such uncontrolled ascendancy, that they, despite all exertions of the firemen, com municated to an extensive pianoforte manufactory, be longing to Messrs. Champion, which, from the com bustible materials on the premises, burnt most furi ously, and communicated to the extensive premises at the back, belonging to Messrs. Howitt, Brothers, linendrapers and shawlmen, Nos. 22G, 227, and 228, High Holborn, and adjoining those of Mr. Adlard, hatter, and hosier, No. 225; and Mr. Stone, grocer, No. 229, on the east side; the back of Mr. Hoivitt's premises, imme diately caught fire and communicated to Mr. Adlard's. Several engines arrived from the City, and there being an abundance of water, torrents were thrown in all di rections, from seventeen large and powerful fire-engines; hoses were carried through the adjoining houses, and on the tops of them, by which the firemen had great power over the flames, and by twelve o'clock they began to suc ceed in subduing them ; and, by half-past twelve o'clock, they so far extinguished them as to allay:all further fears. At one period tiva whole range of buildings in Holborn, from Queen-street to Turnstile, were threatened with de struction. The damage is very extensive, several ad joining houses being extensively damaged by fire and water, besides the destruction of the buildings in the cow yard, pianoforte-manufactory, and the entire backs of the premises of Messrs. Howitt Brothers, and Mr. Adlard ; as also part of the premises of Mr. Stone, a grocer. It is not known in what manner the fire originated. The police belonging to the F and E division, rendered the firemen most essential service. The damage done is esti mated at upwards of 12,0001., the whole of which is in• sured in various fire-offices. FATAL ACCIDENT. DOVER, OCT. 7.—Last evening an inquest was held a, .;he Star Inn, before G. T. Thompson, Esq., the Borough Coroner, on the body of a flyinan, named John Deane, who came by his death under the following circum stances :—Thomas Kidner being sworn said—l am a coachman residing at Deal. On Tuesday afternoon I drove my coach to Dover, and as it rained very hard I went into the ostlery belonging to the City of Antwerp stables. About five o'clock a gentleman, whom I after wards ascertained to be Mr. Potter, of Shepherd's-well, rode up in a gig, and gave George Cook, the under ostler, a gun, saying he was to keep it till Mr. Coleman, surgeon, came for it. Mr. Potter did not say it was loaded, and Cook set it down in a corner of the room. I remained sitting in the ostlery with several others till half-past six o'clock, when Mr. Huntley-, the proprietor of the stables, came in and took the gun up. Samuel Forth, another ostler in the stables, then stepped up to Mr. Huntley and took the gun from that gentleman's bands, and began to point it at different objects; when he said, " look out, old Tom," meaning the deceased, " I shall shoot you presently." Upon this Deane, who was sitting beside me, put his head behind my shoulder, and said to Forth, " Don't act the fool, Sam; you know I have a great horror of fire-arms; you'll shoot some one presently." Forth then came up, and put the muzzle against my ribs, close to the head of the decased, and pulled the trigger of the gun two or three times. He then put the butt end against me, and afterward presented the muzzle again. Just at this time a servant of the Rev. Mr. Farbrace, of Ey theme, came in, and warned Forth not to play with the gun, saying that it might be of bad consequence, even if it were not loaded. The decaased then got up, and ran out of the room, when one present said, " Put a percus sion cap on, and frighten old Jack." 11.1 e. Huntley im mediately went - and got a cap, and while he was gone /Forth tried the barrel with the ramrod two separate times, saying, " I know the gun is not loaded, for I have tried it before." All present felt perfectly satisfied the gun was not loaded, from the fact that the ramrod was even with the muzzle of the gun, and the ringing noise it made when it, apparently, reached the bottom of the barrel. We always allow the end of the ramrod to be about three fingers above the muzzle of the gun when it is loaded. By this time Mr. Huntley came back, and gave Forth a cap, and while the latter was putting it upon the nipple deceased looked in at the window, which being observed by the company present, Forth said, " Now, look out, old chap ; I'll frighten you presently," and immediately went out, while I followed after. He held the gun close up under his right arm, with the muzzle pointing a little upwards, till he ar rived near where deceased stood, when he pulled the trigger; and the gun went off. Deane immediately fell to the ground. Forth immediately went to lift him up, but finding the blood flowing copiously from him he exclaimed, " Oh God, the gun was loaded, and I have indeed killed the man ! What shall Ido ! Do, pray, kill me ; I'll cut my throat ! " and he was about doing the fatal deed, when I interfered, and took him away. The Jury consulted for about half an hour, when they returned a verdict of Accidental Death, and levying a deodand of 31. upon the gun. Deceased has left a widow and threelsmall children to lament their loss. -- ALARMING OCCURRENCE ON THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY. BRIGHTON, THURSDAY.—This afternoon this town, which had so recently been thrown into alarm by the late fatal occurrence on this line, was thrown into great consternation by a report that Patch= tunnel.had fallen in. The non-arrival of the first train from London, by which the London morning papers are brought down, caused the most frightful and exaggerated statements to be circulated. Immediately on the news being spread a number of carriages proceeded to the spot, and the Directors and officers, accompanied by a large body of labourers, went down the line to render assistance. The following particulars arc collected from the place. Pat chain tunnel is rather better than a quarter of a mile in length, cut under a plantation belonging to Major Paine's mansion, about four miles from Brighton and two from Clayton tunnel (the longest one on the line.) It appears that the mail train, which left Brighton at a quarter before : eleven, passed through in safety, no appearance of danger then existing. The time for the next train toleave Brigton was a quarter before twelve, when, most fortunately, bef 're its arrival some of the labourers employed on the spot, perceiving the Brighton end of the tunnel in a tottering state, they immediately raised an alarm, and caused the proper sig. itCs to be hoisted at each end to prevent the trains ap praaching. A great portion fell in at the exact time the first train would have been in. Messengers were de ep ached to Brighton and the Hassock-gate station to irVorm them of the calamity. On the arrival of the first do vn train from London a dreadful scene presented itself, fro n the alarm of the passengers through the remem !Justice of the recent fatal occurrence, as the train was stopped just after emerging from Clayton-tunnel, and numbers of people had congregated on the spot. In the meantime the Directors had caused several flys, post chaises, &c., to proceed t o P a t c h am to b r i ng the passen gers on to Brighton, and vans, &c., for the luggage, where the passengers arrived about a quarter past two, two hours after the appointed time. On their arrival the most affecting scenes took place between some of them who had friends awaiting for them, as the general report was that another fatal accident had taken place. It is said, at Patcham, that the tottering state of the tunnel was noticed by some parties early in the morn ing, and yet they neglected to give notice. It is a for tunate circumstance that it did not take place during the passing of a train. It is hoped that a very searching in. quiry will take place into the circumstance, as so many persons' lives are placed in daily jeoparday. The trains now stop at Patcham, and the first down train from Lon don took up the passengers to London, who were eon veyed from Brighton in post-chaises and flys. It is a well-known fact that this tunnel has been watched, and yet Sir Frederick Smith declared the London and Brigh ton Railway the safest and best constructed. A Govern ment messenger was in the first train from London, having come down to examine the spot where the last accident occurred. RB. 1841.1 PUBLIC NOTICE. . ... Lieut.- mionel D.

The latest news from Canton, brought 133 a United States' merchant, is, that an Englishrnan';tl ead is ex ' hibited on a pole inside the city, and the exa St •eration of the country people against us is beyond dt sc ription or conception ; they appear, from this report, to be thirst ing to drink our blood ; on the other hat td we have heard that the hong have invited the British . :merchants to return to Canton, and resume business : ; and Mr. Wildredge, of the house of Messrs.

Dr. Francis, the author, and up to v hin the last few weeks, the inflexible upholder of I he non intercourse policy of Paraguay, has, by Iti s death, removed the only obstacle to free trade upon tie river Parana, and other parts of the rich kingdom of Pi kraguay. A Contemporary has already noticed this fact, and laments that the news of his death had not arrived in 2 ngland before Lord Palmerston had lost the power, thrc ugh the change of Ministry, to have promoted by comsat pensive schemes, the trade and commerce of these no . w emanci pated parts. This singular man now rests in the quiet and stillness of the grave, having been tottering on its ver g-e for the last three years. Before his time the chief of the South American republics, who, under the name of Presi dents, had more than the power of kings, succeeded each other with less than the brief sovereii :nty of Lord Mayors of London. Francia was the first who had the skill to fix himself steadfastly in power, and to retain it. against all other men in th a State. Death, however, with a stronger arm, has at 'Jest dis possessed even him. Francis's early history is that of a scholar and gentle man. His father, as alleged by himself, was a _ French man, but generally believed to be a Portuguese, who emigrated first to Brazil, and ultimately set bled in Paraguay. Here he married a Creole, by whom be had a pretty large family. Jose Gaspar was his heir, and was born in 1753. He was originally intended for the chu rcb, and he received the rudiments of his education at. one of the conventual schools of Assumption. Thence he was removed to the University of Cordova de Tricuman. Having no taste, however, for theology, he bas rued at college to jurisprudence, and took his degree of Doctor in the Faculty of Law with great eclat. Returning to Assumption, which he afterwards left, he entered his profession, and, as an acute and d loquent iawyer, he soon stood alone. His fearless in tegrity gained him the respect of all parties. He never would defend an unjust cause, and ever took the pr. rt of the poor and the weak against the rich and the strong. But his manners were generally, and especially to his countrymen, distant and haughty ; his studies sere in cessant, and general society he shunned. He never mar ried ; his illicit intrigues were low ; he had no friends ; he looked with cold contempt on every one arms .d him, and thus gradually grew into that austerity of ha bit and inflexibility of character which so strongly marl ced his career in after life. Francis was cruel, heartlessly cruel. Many wars be fore he became a public man he quarrelled with his father, though it is believed the latter was in the wrong. They spoke not for years : at length the father was laic/ on his death-bed, and desired to be at peace with his son. He conceived his soul to be endangered by remaining rst en mity with his first-born. Francis stubbornly refused, and the old man died raving. From the Paraguayan bar, Francis, by voice of the Congress, was raised to the Consulship jointly with Yegros, a mere legisl a ti ve s i mp l eton. During this time he paid particular attention to the military troops of the city. He then rode about in gloomy silence, attended by a few of his Quarteleros, and seldom returned the salutation of those he met. At sunset he came back in the same taciturn way. His progress to final supremacy furnishes an amusing picture of South American simplicity, managed by a dex terous use of means, which is the exact counterpart of Napoleon's memorable scene in the Chamber of " the Five Hundred." Francia's joint Consulship with Yegros had fulfilled its legal time. A new Congress was now to b e called, and Fran cia summoned not less' than a thousand representatives. Not one-half of these legislators could read or write, but they could make a Dictator, and he wanted no more. At nine of the morning, on the 3d October, 1814, the Congress met. The proposal was made to appoint him to the Dictatorship. This was met by a counter-proposal to re-appoint him to office, but with the aid of a Congress to help him under the weight of power. Francis by no means relished the amendment:; he was fully prepared to undertake all—for the good of his country. He sent a strong body of troops to .surround the church as "a guard of honour for Congress." Th e D oc t or ' s hint was somewhat plain ; besides, it now was five hours since they. had tasted a morsel, and dinner waited—patriotism was severely tried. The glitter of the bayonet and the pangs of hunger were too strong for the republican stoics of Paraguay. At this m omen t a part i zan of the Doctor stood up : " Gentlemen," he exclaimed, " why should we waste our time here ? The Carai (Lord) Francis wishes to be absolute • he ought to b e a b so l ute ; an d I say, " striking th e t a bl e with his whole force, "lie shall be abso late." Ev er y man arose and saddled his beast, and took his way to his own home. Thus become Dictator, Francia grew austere, and ve hemently proud. The message beforetimc had been, as delivered to any one by his body-guard, " Suplica el Senor Consul que se vaya V. a case del Gobierno."—"The Consul begs that you will go to the Government House." Now that he had become Dictator it was " Ilfanda el Supremo que pass V. a verlo."—" The Supreme orders that you go and see him," Instances of Francia's despotism soon followed. On occasion of the installation of the Junta in Paraguay, which superseded the authority of Spain, the question was agitated by the first citizens whether the Govern ment of the country should be carried on in the name of Ferdinand VII. Francia, whose mind was made up that It should not, entered the hall of deliberation at the warmest period of debate. Walking up to the table, and taking his place beside several Government functionaries, he calmly laid a pair of loaded pistols before him, and said, " These are the arguments which I bring against the supremacy of Fernando Septimo." Francia.'s word was now irrevocable as the laws of Mede or Persian. Soloaga, a large shipmaster, was or dered overnight to select some planks for a Government job. Seloaga delayed it till the morning. The Dictator came early, and found the wood not picked gut. " Senor Excellentissimo," beg an the man in excuse—b u t F ranc i s stamped his foot an sternly added—" Leave the Re , public within four-and -twenty hours"—and in twenty four hours Soloaga left wife, children, work, and pro perty, and was on his way to Corrientes, never to return. Another instance :—Carisimo was thrown into prison and irons, because the gutter in front of his house was a little out of repair, as the Dictator passed. Old Cari shoo was corpulent, and the irons he wore pressed into his flesh. His wife besought Francis with tears, as she reported the fact. " Then," said he, "let him purchase larger ones for himself "—and his wretched wife had to order new fetters for her husband, by paying two thou sand dollars into Francia's treasury. Dr. Francis's usual appearance, by one who personally saw him, was generally in a suit of black, with a large scarlet capote, or cloak, thrown over his shoulders. He customarily wore on his shoes large golden buckles, and at the knees of his breeches the same. His countenance was dark, and his black eyes very penetrating; while his jet hair, combed back from a bold forehead, and hanging in natural ringlets over his shoulders, gave him a digni fied and striking air. In October, 1817, the Dictatorship to which he had been elected for three years, expired, and he was by the same means of Congress, though with much less difficulty then on' the former occasion, elected Dictator for life or "Dictador Perpetuo." , Franc/24.'3 learning in later years, was chiefly confined to the French language—a rare acquisition in Paraguay —Euclid's El ements , equat i on, and the mode of handling a theodolite. But he was most proud to be known as an algebraist and astronomer. He was, it is true, but a short Way inducted into these sciences, but it was suffi cient in Paraguay to verify the Spanish proverb, that " En-ticrra de los ciegos, el tuerto es rey."—" In the land of the blind; the one-eyed man is King." An attempt was made on the day of Good Friday, 1820, to assassinate Francis, by 'some Paraguayan citi zens, obnoxious to his Government, but one of the con spirators revealed the plot, and his colleagues were gained and imprisoned. The town of Assumption, which was irregular and very ill-built, was greatly improved by the Doctor in his later years. He laid it out in spacious squares; the nar row streets were made wide, lanes 'abolished, and the whole to be so formed as to allow of free ventilation, and healthy cleanliness :—this work he himself superintended. The Dictator's cottage was situated in a peaceful val ley in Ytapua, built in a most neat and unpretending style, and surrounded by . a beautiful country. Here he lived in the closest seclusion. His library was a confined room, with a very small window, and so shaded by th e roof of the corridor, as to make the light as sombre as it could be rendered. His library itself consisted of about 300 volumes, the more ponderous of which were on law. There was neither carpet nor mat on the brick floor; an carthern jar for water stood in ono corner on a tripod, and his horse-furniture in another. This man, appointed Dictator, has held it till released from the pains of supremacy by the great release which settles all questions of human power. He was a daring, stern, vigorous being. For nearly thirty years neither war nor massacre has disturbed the provinces under his rule, while Buenos Ayres, within its sight, has been the seat of perpetual revolution, and the vast and noble pro vinces of the north depopulated by massacre and faction. The destruction of M. Bonpland's colony at Cande laria, and his imperative and absolute treatment of all such as came politically in his way are the chief stains upon his character. Beyond this he was a high and talented man, and thus it was that Paraguay was ruled. One strong mind —one bold-headed individual, by an in tense application of his powers, changed, radically changed, the character of the whole community within a few years. Like the potter he pressed them one and all to his own shape, and cast them into whatever mould he chose to take them up.

" A few days ago," says a Belgian paper," died at Brussels, in the prime of life, M. Vandevyre an en graver, Who h as o b ta i ned eminence in his profession. A short time before his death he was subjected to a physi cal phenomenon, of which there are few, if any, previous instances in the annals of the medical science. In con sequence of a frightful dream, the whole of the hair of his head and body fell oft; and disappeared almost in stantaneously." The Augsburgh Gazette says, •' We learn from Alexandria, of the 7th ult., that since Mehemet Ali has resolved on making considerable reductions ameng the officers of his army, not only a large number of officers have resigned, but 300 officers have been dis banded, and sent into the provinces to fill civil situations. Achmed Pacha Menikly, one of the most devoted gene rals of the Viceroy, has suddenly resolved to quit the i service. The Russian Consul• General has been now a month in Alexandria, without having been received by the Pacha. This delay has created many surmises.

"If ancient relics," says be, " are to be ex plained and illustrated, a German Professor is sought out for that object; if .a series of ancient historians have been for some unaccountable reason thrown out of circulation, a German sug gests their publication, .and a 'German edits them; if theology is to be viewed, in connection with modern science, a German sets about the difficult task; if statistics are required of the state of Europe, the Germans produce matters of higher eminence and utility than anything on which Dr. Bowring can alight." This LI high praise, but it is not altogether undeserved. fn the next passage occurs a sneer at Dr. Arnold of Rugby, whose classical acquirements are most unjustly spoken of, for he is, beyond a deule-, one of the readiest and ripest scholars of the day. " Sybil's History of the First Crusade" is a cle ver review, wherein justice is d one to t h e ' vie Charles Mills's History of these Quixotic expe ditions, which is mentioned as being " the largest and best connected work treating on the subject, which is accessible to the English reader." Gibbon's episodical details of the Cru sades are perhaps the most meagre and inefficient portions of his great history. They are a starve ling banquet, from which the reader rises up as hungry us he sat down, and is glad to turn to Mills's volumes, where his hunger and thirst for knowledge are sure to„.be abundantly satisfied. The Reviewer, in alluding to the first projectors of the Crusades, overrates, we think, the intel lect of Peter the Hermit. He by no means per formed the "actions of a sage," for be was liulo better than a crazy enthusiast, of whom the Church of Rome made a fitting tool. Through out his march to Palestine, at the head of an un disciplined band of ragamuffins, he evinced a deplorable want of judgm en t and foresight; and influenced benighted Europe solely by means of his headstrong fana,ticism. "Hengel's Travels in Cashmere" is a notice of a work which will surprise all who have been carried away by Moore's enchanting descriptions of this valley in " Lalia Rookh." The Cashmerian beauties turn out to be little better than frights; the men are for the most part rude and ignorant, instead of being heroic and sentimental; and the better educated, who are chiefly merchants, instead of casting a languishing eye on some "young Nourmahal," keep a constant sharp eye to business, and arc remarkable for nothing so much as their knack at driving a hard bargain ! " Ruppell's Travels in Abyssinia," " Kohl's Travels in Southern Russia ; " and "Sweden as it is,"are intelligent reviews, interspersed with well-selected ex t racts . From he article entitled " The Women of Italy," we quote an amusing sketch of the do mestic habits and manners of American girls:— The independence of a Yankee girl—we mike use of that obnoxious denomination, not through disrespect fur the " smartest ration in creation," but better to desig nate the people of New England, that part of the United States where American manners are most characteristic ally developed —begins with the earliest stage of board ing-school life. Early in the morning she walks out alone sometimes for a distance of miles to her academy ; who her tutors and companions, what her studies, what books she reads, what friendships or habits she con tracts, her parents scarcely ever care to inquire ; or if asked, scarcely ever does she condescend to reply. In proportion as she grows, more complete and absolute does she acquire the mastery over her own actions. She chooses her dancing and music masters, her congrega tion, her minister. She subscribes to cotillion parties, shines off at a tltncy fair or at a flower auction. ,She walks home late at night from a rout with her favourite partner, and takes a long tour by moonlight to enjoy the coolness and sentimentalism of the night air. She introduces her male friends to her mother, and sends out her invitations to tea without consulting the " old lady ;" finally, she informs her parents that her lover has " popped the question," unless, indeed, she prefer the eclat and excitement of a runaway match. And yet this unbounded latitude is scarcely ever attended with mischievous results. Thanks, perhaps, to natural cold-. ness of temperament, or to the early marriages which in those wide-spreading colonies are and will long con tinue to be the order of the day, the American young lady very early acquires the calculating habits of the country. She is her own duenna and chaperon. Her fancy and heart are always under the control of reason. She learns to value her admirers according to their worth. You never hear of a roux pas, or, if you do, you may be sure that all worldly advantages have - been. duly weighed, and that even that apparent imprudence is the result of the most consummate policy. Before she leaves school, a Yankee girl—God bless her !—has thorough knowledge of the world. She is up to every trick, secure against all dangers of amorous seduction. Else, what were the good of the million of novel; she reads ? Her look is proud and daring ; her step firm and secure. COURT CIRCULAR.

It would be finite idle to compare the mere exhibitor Lafontaine with the philosophic experimentalist —such is Elliotson. But for those who wish to investigate fOr themselves, it is enough to know that the power of mes merizing is in the hands of every one, and that every one can prove by dome s ti c experiment whether the Lancet or Dr. Elliotson comes nearer to the truth.
