IGLOBE. —The country seems to be universally a li ve 1 to the fact, that election-bribery exists to an extent which was scarcely contemplated; and the House of Commons seems at length disposed to apply some effectual check to the degrading 'and demoralizing' prac tice, which is sapping the foundations of. public virtue, and jeopardizing the constitution, by bringing into con tempt the representative branch of the Legislature. If the source of law be deemed corrupt, its streams will partake of the corruption ; and the people will find an excuse, if not a justification, for evading, or openly vio lating, the acts of Parliament, in the illegality of the mate by which a large proportion of the Members of the House of Commons obtained their seats in the Legisla tu re. If the Bill introduced by Lord John Russell do not accomplish all that could be. desired in the way of pre vention, it will certainly render the perpetration of bribery more difficult, by including specifically, within the legal definition of the crime, those various ingenious devices for evading the consequences of making direct payments for votes, with which all who have been ad mitted within the walls of a private" committee-room at an election; are familiar. This more clear and pr J cow ehen ive definition of bribery will, do u btl ess , ren d er the commission of the crime more difficult, and its proof, by evidence before the tribunals, whether Parliamentar:, Committees, or the regularly constituted courts of the country, more easy of attainment. In the speech v.ith which Lord J. Russell introduced the Bil, hisLOrdship made a distket allusion to the old free, and those other classes of voters, in corporate towns, whose rights were reserved by the Reform Bill. Amongst these the agents of bribery have generally found ready recipients of the bribes they were employed to proffer. The discoveries which have been recently made of the extent of corrupt agencies upon these classes of voters; the general disgust—strongly acting upon the -House of Commons—which has been provoked in the public mind; and the numerous measures which have recently been proposed in Parliament for the future pre vention of bribery—seem to indicate the arrival of a Crisis, which might be improved, for cleansing the con stituencies of these dregs of corruption, which the sup porters of the old system were allowed to preserve by the Reform Bill, and which have been communicating their pollutions to other classes of the electors with which they were associated. STANDARD.—The decision in the cases of the Waterford and Athlone petitions illustrates too forcibly the defective state of the present law of elections, to allow that it be passed over in silence—we call it one • decision, because, though there were two several peti tiens from different places, tried before distinct Com mittees, the points decided in both cases are the' same. The. points decided appear to be these, namely—First, that a returning officer may not reject a vote how fraudulent so ever he may know it to be, if it be ten dered in legal form. Secondly, that a Committee may nut inquire into the validity of a vote once offered, though not recorded, except the vote be specially impeached in a. petithm. From these two propositions it seems neces sarily to follow that a sitting Member has no security whatever for his seat, if any sufficient number of fradu lent votes have been tendered at the poll for his compe titor. The returning officer must, according to the first rule laid down, receive them as good votes ; or, if he decline to do so, a Committee of the House o f Commons must, according to the second rule, place them oh the poll, without entertaining any question of their validity. Thus the most grossly fabricated votes for a petitioner, are really subject to no question, either at the hustings or by a Committee. It may be said that the votes which have placed the Waterford and Athlone petitioners in Par liament are not fraudulent votes—the suggestion would be untrue ; but were if true, it is 'nothing to the pun pose ; fur the rule laid down by the Committees would protect the most fraudulent. That rule, as we have seen, is, that a Committee of the House of Commons cannot inquire into their validity. Now, the effect of this rule must be, to place the representation absolutely its the hands of the revising barristers: It may be proper to limit the returning officer to the discharge of merely mi nisterial as distinguished from judicial functions; but surely a judicial authority ought to exist somewhere, and it can exist nowhere so properly as in the Committeei of the House of Commons. The decisions of which we com plain were doubtless legally correct, but it is impossible not.to see that they are extremely rigid, and ca l cu l a ted by . their rigour to cause a failure of - justice. The Com mittee, it is ruled, can try . only the case submitted to them by the petitioners; but this is a restrictioa which would be flitind intolerable in any ether department of the administration of the law. A quartermaster of the 48th regiment of • the line was tried, a few days ago, before the Council of War-at Lyons, for falsification of accounts. The trial excited interest from the fact of a sister of the prisoner's, who was tenderly attached to him, having come from Paris to be present at the trial. She manifested the greatest emotion throughout the whole of the proceedings, and at the moment the judges were about to de liberate, she flung herself at their feet, crying out " Mercy, mercy, for my brother!" He was acquitted, and her joy, as way be .opposed, was excessive. THE LOA DON GAZME. (THIS EVENING.) Commission by the Lord Lieutenant of Bedfordshire. R.

The Earl of RIPON said that, as far as he was con cerned he could have no objection to the proposal of the Noble Lord. He doubted not that it would meet with the general concurrence of the House to move the second reading sub sibaio, and take the discussion on Tuesday precisely the same as on the second reading—(Hear)—and if it would meet the concurrence of the House, he would move the second reading then, and postpone his expla nations till Tuesday.—(Hear, hear.) Lord BROUGHAM could have no objection . to the proposition of his Nobls Friend, with the under . - standing that the second reading should be merely taken sub silenHo. If it were upon any other . subject than a . money Bill, h e s h ou ld sa y, un less it were something peculiarly important, that it would nut be desirable to take the course tiroposed, es pecially on the part of those who opposed the whole measure.—(llear, hear.) It was well known - he wa s n o t one. He had already had an opportunity of stating his views to their Lordships on this subject. This Bill, being a money Bill, it was a matter of almost entire in difference whether they took the debate on .the second reading, or on going into Commit:ee. Lord MELBOURNE begged leave to . assure his Noble Friend that he waanot aware of his Noble Friends indis • position until a quarter of an hour ago. Indeed his Noble Friend himself was not aware of it till a quarter of an hour ago. lie had had a slight attack in the morning, but he thought he would.. have been able to attend the House. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his scat on theWoolsack at a Quarter past Five. • ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS BILL. The Bishop of EXETER said that seeing- the Noble Lord on the Woolsack, he wished to know whether it was the intention of her Majesty's GoVernment to bring in the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill, which had been spoken of iu the Speech from the Throne. He did not think it was desirable that such a Bill should be .brought in at a time when it could not be fully entered into. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the matter was in the hands of the Secretary of State, and he should com municate with him on the Subject, and inform the Right Rev. Prelate of the result en Monday. The Bishop of EXLTER said that it was his misfor tune to be obliged to leave town on that day. The LORD CHANCELLOR—I can hardly conceive that to be a misfortune.—(Laughter.) The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned, at Half-past Five o'Clock, to Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour.

The SPEAKER said, that as the .petition related, to matters ire the' Bill before the House, it could not be printed with, the votes. • Mr. O'CONELL 'said, that though the petition re lated to.matters in the Bill, it was not with that object it was presented, as the petitioners were not aware of the existence of the Bill. He did not know if that made any obstruction. The SPEAKER did not think that constituted any difference. TEN .IIOM - IS BILL.

TEMPERANCE PROCESSIONS IN IRELAND. Col. ACTON wished to ask the Noble Lord, the Se cretary for Ireland, whether he proposed to adopt any measure for the restriction of the parades of vast bodies of men, called temperance men, dressed in blue beefs and ribands, who were in the habit of promenading in va rionS parts of Ireland. Lord ELIOT said it Was not the intention of her Ma jesty to introduce any measure fur the restriction of the Temperauce parades.—(Hear, hear.) He believed the societies referred to were very beneficial to the lower orders; nor . did be believe that outrages to the public peace resulted from such processions. At the saint, time, he was aware that vast assemblages did meet, and if any improper consequences should 'result, he should not shrink from repressing those processions. r . Mr. O'CONNELL said that th6se - processions had been in the habit of Marching for the last three years;• he wished to know if any representations had'heen made to the Noble Lord of a breach of the law in consequence. Lord ELIOT aas not awareithat any such repre sentation bad been made to him. IRISH MAGISTRACY. Mr. FOX MAELE wished to pnt a question to the Noble Lord, the Secretary of Ireland, relative te% eome thing that he had seen in the public prints, It appeared that Mr. St. George had been remove from the COmmission of the Peace ie Ireland, in a onse pence of a letter which he had addressed to the late Secretary of State fur the Home Department hen be held the office of Vice-Regent of 'relent]. An attempt was shortly after made to restore Mr. St. George to the position he had previously held, and a representation to that effect was made to the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, whose answer was, that if the letter was withdrawn, or an apology were made, he - skeuld have no objection to restore his name to the Comeission.• :The statement which he (Mr. Fox Manic) hod recejvvd eves that Mr. St. George had heen restored . without apoheizing, or coneenting to witlidi-ew the letter. He wished to ask the Noble Lord, first, whether Me. St. George had been restored to the Commission, and, secondly, whether he had apelogieed, or withdrawn the letter in queAion ? Lord ELIOT said,. shortly after the Lord Chancellor of Ireland was appointed to that place in the Govern ment, a representation was made to him of Mr. St. George's case, and he was so strongly impressed with the impropriety of the letter already referrt d to, that he de termined not to consent to his restoration to the Commis sion of the Peace, CH a satisfactory explanation was made by Mr. St. George, such explanation had been made to the satisfaction of the Lord Chancellor, and he had therefore re-instated Mr. St George, Mr. F. MAULE was afraid the Noble Lord had not quite understood his question. His question was. whether the letter had been withdrawn, or an apology made. He might also ask the Nob!e Lord whether he had any objection to lay the letter with the other cor respondence on the table. _ _ Lord ELIOT said the letter had not been withdrawn, but such explanation had been given to the Lord Chan cellor as was satisfactory to him, he having before re fused to reinstate Mr. St. George without an exploit, tiun. —The matter then dropped. - The dropped Orders were then disposed of. • iiUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Sir ROBERT PEEL said that from the state of pub lic business, and the period of the session at which they were arrived, and there not being many petitions fur pre sentation, nor any great amount of private business, he thought it 'would. be tor the'gcneral convenience, if the House should, from Monday next, begin the pub lic business at half-past four o'clock.--(Hear, hear.) He should also move on Monday next that Orders of the Day have precedence on Tuesdays,—(Hear. he ar.) Mr. HumE hoped the Right Hon. Baronet would move that the Orders of the Day have - precedence on Thursdays also, as for the last two Thursdays there had been no business done whatever.—(Hear, hear.) BLOCKADE OF THE EAST COAST OF MEXICO. "Mr. D'ISRAFLI said he wished to ask a question on a subject of tle most urgent interest to the interests or the commerce of this country. In more than one of the shipping ports of this country a considerable num ber of consignments had been made to the East Coast . of Mexico, and the greatest. depression had been caused by the intelligence of the blockade of that coast by the Government of Texas. A week since, by the sanction of- the Noble Earl the Secretary of State, a proclamation appeared in the London Gazette, from a person styling himself the President of the Re public of Texas', stating that a blockade of the Eastern Coast of Mexico had been instituted by that Government. Of this proclamation, that had been so inserted in the Gazette, no official communica tion had been received by the Secretary of State, from the .pe:'son pretending t o be under the authority-of the ,President of Texas. The proclamation • had occa sion great perplexity and alarm, especially • among t 3 .e . merchants trading to the coast of Mexico. The citL stiun he wished to a,k was, whether it was in tended by the proclamation to ,anction that blockade, or if not, what was the intention of inserting it in the " London Gazette ?" . . _ fir ROBERT PEEL said he apprehended that the proclamation was inserted in the - " Gazette," according to the usual practice in similar .Cases. The. notification of the blockade stated that a block ada was said to be instituted, and that exures.• sion was used bt cause the Government had - no Official information from the Texas. that such a b!ockade had been instituted. But they had received a notification, on Which they had every reason to rely, from her Ma jesty's Minister at Mexico, who had stint the document containing the notiee: of the blockade, and Ito stated that this blockade had been regularly issued. By the notification of the blockade, the Government did nut in t, nd to infer that it was a legal one ; all that it stated was, that of two belligerent powers cne had determintd on forming a blockade, nor did the Governinent give its sanction to it. llie might add, that he was exceedingly sorry that the Government of Texas had 'resorted to a measure so inconvenient to commerce. LIGIIT SOVEREIGNS. Mr. CHILDERS wished to put . a question with regard to a proclamation that had been issued a few days back, rerfering to sovereigns which were under the standard. weight. This proclamation had- caused. the greatest inconvenience, and, indeed, had deranged all commercial proceedings. He begged to ask whether this proclamation had reference to any ulterior measures; also with respect to the conduct of the'Bank, who, when a soveroign -was taken there, weighed it, and if u n d er weight, it was cut in two, and the person was told to sell the gold wherever:he could, which left people t o find . .out dealers in gold, they were thus left to those respect able gentlemen, the Jews., to buy it at what price they pleased. • , The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER' said be should confine himself to the question put as to the proclamation; it. was, a repetition of proclama tions that had been issued, though not very recently, from time to time, • to'. warn the public of .the rate at which gold was .not the current coin ui the - Great complaints had been made of a portion of the gold coin being below the proper weight, and it therefore had been thought neces sary to call the public attenticn to the weight at which gold coin was current, and to make arrangements with the Bank, by which they agreed to receive it at the. Mint price of 3/.los. 7111 per ounce fur all light gold coin. Mr. BERNAL wished to know from the Right Hun. Gentleman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what 'should be done with sovereigns which accumulated from time to time in the hands of small tradesmen. Mr. GOULBUUN said they should deposit them with their private banker, fur the purpose of having them exchanged. • Mr. S. O'BRIEN asked whether similar facilities would be,given fur the exchange of gold coin in other parts of the country. Mr. GOT:LEWIN said the circumstances there were different, and the evils had not been stated., Mr. G. PALMER said such discredit had been thrown upon the gold coin of this country; that hardly any poor person dare touch it.—(Laughter.) Ile wished to aik whether her njesly's Government would take into con sideration the inconvenience which every person through out the ,country was now suffering front the discredit thrown on the gokl coin. SCOTCH CHURCH. Mr. F. MAULF, wished to usk the Bight Hon. Gen tleman whether the Government had made up :heir mind to take into their own hands the suhiect of the dif ference which existed in the Scotch Church, or whether they intended to permit the discussion upon th e Bill of the lion. Member for Knaresborough to preceid on Wednesday. Sir JAM'ES GRAII.AM said the House wonld re member th.zt at the commencement of the Session the question was put to him whether, on the part of her Maksty's Government, there was any -intention to bring fcrward a legislative me:isure, in the hope of healing the unhappy differences ►which now dis tracted Scotland, with reference to ecclesiastical affairs. To that question he answered, that upon the most care ful review orall circumstances of the case, it was not the intention of her Majesty's Government to bring - forward any measure. So matters stood until hiS Hun. Friend, the IVlember for the county of Argyle, moved, for leave to bring in a pm. The uoverriment did not oppose the in. troduction of that measure, but a discussion took place, In which it was pretty plainly intimated that to its prin ciple lien .31vjest) . 's Comment were oppv4ed, would 'and that, at a future stage, they consider it their duty to oppose its enactment . The consequence of that was, that. communications were . made to the Government from Sco:land, which. led the present Government to entertain a hope, not very con fident, as he had s ated at the- thue, but still such as to encourage a hope that iej/lative nieesur , s, landed on such principles as the Cove/ .:neat would be _able to support, might conduce to the p,ace of Scot land, and to the settlement of the disputed points. He had steted to the House that, as matters stood at the time, he could not 1 lAge himself to the introduction of such a measure, but that it would be the duty of Go vernment very carefully to consider the represen tations made to them on the subject before they finally decided. That - was on the eve of the Ge n/era! AsseMbly of Scotland. That Assembly embodied the views of the general Church of Set:4 l / I nd. Proceedings took place which were known to the House and which he might be permitted to say he eeeply deplored, but at the same time, it did not . become him at the present time to characterise those proceedings by any harsh terms. Yet, still after a careful deliberation of those proceedings, he was bound to state to the H ou se that the hope he had or iginally entertained on the subject; had perished, and that Government stood in the same position with respect to the question as at the commencement of the session, and that he could not hold out any expectation on the part of the Government to introduce any measure which would produce those eff,:cts which were desirable, and which would alone justify their interference in the matter." Under these eireum • stances, it was compote:it to the Hen: Member for Ar gyleshire to move the second reading of his Bill on Wed nesday next, when an opportunity would ba afforded for further discussion and reasoning on the subject: He therefore thought it would bit - inexpedient particu larly, as the question which had been put to him hail been so caretully limited, to enter on the present oaca• sion upon anything like argument on the subject. ... _ . ~ ilowever, he ihight be :lowed to be explicit, upon another point, namely, that it was not the inlet', tion of Go - :ernment to oppose the second reading of the Bill. Sir A. L. HAY wished to ask the Right Honourable Baronet, whether he had any ob jection to a motion requesting , .that House Ala.;esty wculd be graciously pleased to lay the paper ha hail referred to upon the table of the House. Sir JAMES CIRAHAM said that he was not then. prepared to answer the question of the lion. and- Gal-- tant Member, as no notice had been given that such question would. have been put. He would throw out suggestion that the House should meet to-morrow, when the question might be discussed. Mr. FOX MAULE wished to ask the Hon. - Meinber for Argyleshire (Mr. Campbell) to bring forward the second reading of his Bill on the Scottish Church ques tion on Wednesday, next. - - • . Mr. CAMPBELL said that he felt himself_ placed .in a position of exceeding difficulty. - He could never have •expected such an answer would have been by the Right Hun. Baronet as they had heard ihat night. It was Lis intention to proceed with his Bill on Wednesday next, and'he trusted that Hon. Members would attend that • evening. -=-(Hear.) NOTICES OF MOTION. Mr. 13'ALLACE ;have notice, that- on Tuesday, the 28th 'install!, he should move for 02rtain returns of the amount of money transmitted through the Yost-olfiee. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice, that hi Committee On the Poor-law Amentino.nt Act, he move a clause relative to Irish paupers residing in :his country. JNE:WrOIiNDLAND BILL. Mr. o*COli NELL wished to know v.hether the Noble Lurd the S, erotary fur the Colonies would have any Ohje',..tion to no-q:one the t.eco, t d reading of the New- Bill until a petition frorii tie Catholics:if-New foundland 1:v:f bran printed. He uuderstood that it would be pr.ntud in a li a days. Lord STANLEY said th..t he had no objcc:ion to po-tpone tne se co nd rea di ng or the Lill. Lord ELIOT gave nutlet: that on Tuesday next he should move that the Drainage (Ireland) Bid be r:com mitted to a Committee of the who:e House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUErt gave notice that on Monday next he should bring in a Bill to renew the composition of assessed taxes. RAILWAYS BILL.—ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. GLADSTONE said that ho rose to offer a sug gestion to the House relative to the period fbr di-.cussing the Railways Bill in committee. The measure was one of great importance, but at the same time in the present press of business, he apprehended that it could not for some time to come be discus• ed by the 1 loLse, on any of the evenings usually appropriated . to Government business. He would prophs?, therefore, that the klouse should meet at 12 o'clock on to-morrow, fur the purpose of entertaining the subject. r. HUM - r] hoped that the moLion . or the Right Honourable Gentleman would not be .agreed (Hear, hear.) If there was any . urgency fur going through the public bnsiness, why bad • not the House met last night ? and who, he would ask, were the parties who took the trouble to turn Mem bers out of the House ? For his part he had made ar rangements which would prevent his attendance on to-morrow ; and he trusted that they would - not meet, upon the only idle day which Members had duriing the eek. Mr. LABOUCHERE thought it would be extremely inconvenient to take the discussion co-morrow, L5,-, doubt many Honourable MemberS who were anxious to take part in it, had made arrangements that uould prevent them being present. 11 thought the bes; course would be to let it be understood that. the House would sit en Saturday week for the purpose oF discussing the measure. Mr. GLADSTOZA acceded to the 'proposition, and the subject dropped. ' . _ The motion that the House at its rising adjourn to Monday was then' agreed to. NO WRIT. Sir R. IL INGLIS then rose to move that the writ for Nottingham shoula, issue. Sir U. GREY wished to know ,',whether the Hon. Bar(Met intended to press this motion, as there was an understanding in the abuse with respect to petition, , , of this sort, the notice should be giyen of them, and his Hon. Friend.hal acceded to that by placing the notice on the paper for yeLitprday. Ile ‘iaS ready to admit that if his Hon. Friend insisted on his right, that it was competent for him to ;ring, it on, but he would.put it to him %.11..ther it would he advisable for him to do so. Sir R. H. INGLIS observed that the application of , his Right 'Hon. Friend had not so much surprised him, as the cheers that had c,him from the Him. Member fbr Montgr.meryshire, because he knew very wail that when a vacancy occurred it was a matter of course that a writ should issue. If it was the opinion of the House that he should . not proceed, he would withdraw his niotion.—(Hear, - hear, and cries of " Go on.") He bi4iesed the impression of the - House was that should at neec proceed with his motion. —(No, :aid Hear.) He could not indulge the hope that hi, motion would utteppos, d, as were thp . se of the lion. Member for AlO4l - after the interruption whi, h had tak. n pace. The motious of tl,te Hoe. :I;ember for loutrose were pre cisely of the t,atne nature. Sir Q. GREY—But there was a general consent of the Iltuse, with re:Tect to thos: - !moti.ns.—(llear, hear.) Sir U. INGLIS (in continuation) said he was totally imemineeted with too peer: mss from whim the petition proceeded, and he presameil the petition %s us intrusted tt,) him from the opinion lie expres ? ed upon the issuing of writs in general. not mean by his motion to still • dry the decision the House came to respecting the motion of the Hun. M.inber for Bath, or any rules of the House irreTective of that motion. Ile was net cal in on the House to take any proceedings to baffle the decision it had come to respectirtg the motion of the -Honourable Member for Bath, and he begged to call the particular attention of the Hon. and Learn e d Menater to that point. It was °illy a happy accident which had placed the borough of-Nottingham , in a different position from Reading, Penryn, and the other boroughs. There was nothing, therefore, he should contend, which was essential to the object of the Honourable Member for Bath's Bill to exclude Nottingham from 'having a representative in the Commons House of Parliament. Mr. ROEBUCK—I have proved nothing yet. k, Sir R. • INGLIS—The lion. Member said that he had proved nothing yet. He. (Sir R. Inglis) thanked him fcr that. Ile would say then that they were proceeding to the disfranchismoii t of Not ting ham, not only as no proof on the Report of the Committee, on no sw o rn evidence alleging guilt on the part of Nottingham. but the. Honourable Member himself who - had brought in a Bill for the purpose of inquiring into the alleged prat-. tices of bribery and corruption at Nottingham, said'at once,. very honestly and candidly, and he .(Sir. R. Inglis) thanked him fir it, that he had proved nothing against no,s, L COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL., YesterJay a Court %las held for the dispatch of hOi: There was a very inn attendance of rnember3f,°' . iie•eount of the exected presentation of.the Report reP' tive to the Mice p of Town Clerk, a subject whic l . ll li excited a vast deal of interest u:nongst the Citizitai London.

A letter front Bastia, of the 21st ult., relates the fbl lov.ing attempt at suicide by a criminal to avoid public expo ' sure. Gel orne Benetti, of -Arbellara, one of the most power fat m embers of the, family of the Coppi, • which has so long maintained an implacable feud with th e L ucc i an i , b e i ng tried before the Court of Assizes for Corsica on an indictment for murder, was found guilty, and condemned to hard labour at the hulks for life, and ,to stand on the pillory. On hearing his sentence, he became frightfully exasperated, tore h:s clothes into tatters, and, with the us, st g.ieatiful imprecations on the beads of his enemies, swore they should never have the gratification of seeing hint publicly exposed to their vengeance and ridicule. Such members of 'his family as were present openly applauded his resolution, and declared that, he would be dishououred if he did not keep it. On being taken back to suison, his c ounse l en d eavoured to calm his mind by assuring m that they had every hope of reversing the judgment by an 'appeal, and, at all evi nts, of obtaining a mitigation of his punishment through the Royal clemency. Upon this, he ap peared to be tianquilli.ed. rverthete-s, every precaution was • taken to, p. event trim ;rpm making any attempt on his own life, boing confined in a cell with two o , her prisoners, who eng , ged to watch over hen. Siortly afterward., however, they were heai dto all for help, and the ,:aolers, on enter in; the cell, found Benetti extended on the 11 or, weltering in his own blood. He had made two incisions in his thio.rt ith a small lusty knife, which he previi . ,toy endeavoured to shatpen on the stone pavement, aint which no one c did tell how i.e ha i pro,ureu arot cenvid.d. he was procesdieg to inflict other wound, on himself, %shed his companions interpnsAi and pre iented hint from Going se. Ills wounds were nut mortal. of Public limtruction having col lected and laid before the Royal Council of Public instruction testitin vial of the skilful, humane, and zealous care and atten tion paid by the students and dies ers at several of the hos pitals, andby other young medical men, to the sufferers from the railroad disaster on Ilse Bth ult., the Minister decided that all the charg s for inscriptions, examinations, and diplomas which they Free still to pay, in order to obtain their degree of docto,i should be remitted. :Some of them having already ac quired a right to this remittance, from being laureates of the Faculty, or sons of profe:sors, the hlinister, in the name of the University of Franca, awarded to them several valuable works on medicine, surgery, and nasurai history, as tokens of its satis faction.
