CITY, SATURDAY EVENING, Consols did not leave off quite so good as yesterday ; the fluctuation, however, during the day was not more than a mere fraction. This would appear to indicate, that other em • ployment than trade is required for the investment of spare capital. The last prices were—Consols for Money, 891 A, and 894 buyers for the Account. The transfer books for Bank Stock are at present closed, but sales fur the opening have been made nt 170 to 171. Exchequer bills, 29 to 31 prem.

The C immittee of the Stock Exchange have very properly called upon some parties who were Oefanlters years since, and now in po , session of wealth, to pay off the old d.fferenees, under the penalty of expulsion. While upon this subject it, may be mentioned, that a li:gb legal character has given it as his opm on, that every bank rupt should receive a certifieate,* . which is. as is the case now, to be published in the Gazelle , but that the cer:ificate and toe advertisement should specify to what CALM" the bankruptcy was to be attributed; whether to fraud, carelesaiess, or ine vitable misfortune. _ (ITrom The Son of Saturday Evening.)

Towards the end of the last month a marriage was celebrated at Sarta, In Old Castille. Three days afterwards the guests invited to the feast offered an entertainment to the new married couple and their families at a village called Tan dage, the birth-place of the bride, lying at some little distance. To shorten the way, the bridal party determined to cross the Duero, but the river having been much flooded, carried the boat down the stream, drove it against a rock and upset it, whereby all who were in it, amounting to sixteen persons, were downed. We find the following in the Commerce :—"The house of M. D., a banker at Bolbec, in Normandy, having been several times attemp!ed to be forcibly entered in the night, he engaged a police•officer to come and keep watch in side. About two o'clock on Saturday morning the robbers made their appearance again, and with a centre-bit hail made a large hole in the door of the office, when the officer rushed out, and seized a man by the collar. 31. D. himself was in another room also on the watch, but it had been :Treed that he should not come forth unless the officer should call for his assistance. Hearing the stru g gle, however, he could not resist the impulse, an d i n t h e d ar k grappled with the officer instead of the thief. On this, the officer conceiving he had two men to contend with, drew a pistol, discharged it, and wounded M. D., whose cries prevented another shot, which would, in all probability have been fatal. In the confusion thus created, the housebreaker made his escape. The wound of M. D. is Said to be seriously alarming to his fam ly and friends." The death of Dr. Forbes took place on his crossing a branch of the lake Lhouk on a raft.: he there saw Ibrahim han and others load and level their guns, when hi turned pale, and said his fatal day was come. He asked Them for what perpose they had loaded, and they said to shoot fpgs. They immediately fired at him, but without effect, but the se cond time the Khan took a more deliberate aim, and he being wounded, fell from the raft into the water. He made his say to the shire, and pleaded for his life, saying, "my countrymen are many, and will take vengeance for my blood; do not resist them." The Khan, however, abused him, and struck him with his sword, on whieli Dr. Forbes asked him again to save his life, and said they might take all his property. He put up his hands in the attitude of prayer, in which posi tion he was slain by their repeated attacks.

Edward Thompson, a clerk to Messrs. Carr, proved the prisoner had paid him two of the 51. notes stolen from the pro secutor's safe.

A letter from Schwerin says the present Grand Duke Frederick Francis, ott coining to the Grand Ducal throne by the death of his father on the Ith inst., immediately issued a proclamation announcing the event to his subjects, and declaring that, being of full age, according to the family compact of 23d June, 1841, he had assumed the reins of government. The Phai'e of Bayonne of the 15th inst. relates that, a few days before, a band of about twelve Spanish smugglers were about to make their way over the boundary between France and Spain, when a much smaller party of custom-house officers attempted to stop them. A conflict ensued, in which four of the officers were more or less severely wounded, and one of the Spaniards was kille I and another wounded. • Ilia Grace the Duke of Bedford has kindly for warded to the Accident Relief Society a donatiem:of 20i., with • permission to use his name as a patron . . to that excellent society.

LORD ABERDEEN and M. GUIZOT The. following is M. Guizot's speech in the debate on the secret funds : M. Guizot began by saying he would not open ft debate upon questions already treated of and exhausted. The Ch4in ber was net a place for idle chat about public affairs. lie rievt, r refused discussion, when it was required, or the subject new. But every orator had already had the opportunity of speaking on every subject, and there was no use in renewing debates on these. He would re•establish the truth respecting one circum stance, viz., the exequatur of foreign Consuls residing at Al giers. It was the custom in changes of Government for Con. suls to continue to act by virtue of the exequatur obtained un. der the old Government. This rule has been observed at Algiers, not only with regard to the British, but other Consuls. The English Consul was in Algiers previous to 1830, and the post not having since become vacant, there has been no ground for the renewal of the exequatur which he had already received. This Consul having de manded for a Vice-Consul the right of installing him self in another part of our territory, he was informed that, in order to obtain his right, a new exequatur was requi. site. The exequatur was not applied for—(Ah, als, from the left)—but the translation which was requested has not taken place, and it will not be permitted until the exequatur shall have been applied for and granted. I will add, that when the post of the English Consul at Algiers shall become vacant, the new Consul will be compelled to apply for the exequatur ; but, until then, there will be no motive for renewing the exequatur of the English Consul in our colony. I have now to allude to the subject of the despatch relative to our conquest in Algeria, which I communicated some time since to the Chamber. I n the first place I must be allowed to rectify an assertion which is completely false. It is not true that it ever entered into my mind to ask for, or that the French Ambassador in London ever said a word which could justify such a supposition, the adhesion of England on the subject of our conquest. It is not tree that I, at any period, or under any circumstances, would even permit any step which could admit the right on the part of England of raising a difficulty on this question. M. Durand here observed that he had not said anything of this kind M. Guizot—lt has been said, however, that we applied for the approbation of England on the subject of our possessions in Africa. I deny the fact. The real state of things is as fol lows :—ln a conversation with the French Ambassador, Lord Aberdeen said spontaneously, that in 1830, he had made, against our occupation of Algeria. protests and lively inces sant remonstrances, but now he did not resume that position, that his attitude was different, that ten years' possession was in his eyes a serious circumstance, an event accomplished, and that on this subject he had not objections or observations to make. The different between the two words does not seem to me important (me touche peu). This conversation was not provoked. The words were spontaneous. What., thinks Lord Aberdeen, was the sanction of time, the conquest becoming pro gressively a fait uccompli? Lord Aberdeen spoke simply and sensibly. 'the fact. was simple and evident, and need not give rite to such a discussion. Ten years ago, I was the first to say, " France has conquered Algeria, and will keep her con quest." Every one now repeats these words. But let us not be astonished th t time WJE , necessary to bring things to this pass. Conquests must be consolidated by time. Time alone gives them a sanction and en authority. The words of Lord Aberdeen were n /thing else than a recognition of the sanction given progressively by time to our Algerine conquest ; words spoken in good part, words of peace, abandoning old cavils of ten years hack. These expressions, spontaneously given, were correctly transmitted by the King's ambassador in London. Any difference in expression is of little consequence. The fact alone is important. And the great fact is, that France having conquered Algiers, twelve years' possession of it has brought the cabinet and the statesman who had made the strongest objections and remonstrance on this subject to take quite a different attitude and tone on resuming office. Let our possession last longer, and you will see the English cabinet, and other cabinets, and the Porte itself, make new steps, and the most complete and definitive sanction—the recognition of all the word will eon‘uminate the empire in Africa. Thus has it been with all great conquests. fhe last point which I have to notice is that relative to the observations of the President of the Council of Ministers at. Madrid. It is said that some jour..als have asserted that the English Government, after hav ing approved of our instructions as to the etiquette in present ing the letters of credence of our Ambassrdor in Spain, had changed its views, and that the Spanish Government, on the receipt of despatches from England, put forward opposite pre tensions. I know nothing about this statement; but I can state that I have knowledge of a despatch from Lord Aberdeen, in which he approved of the instructions given by the French Government to our Arribastednr on the subject of the letters of credence. This despatch was of great length, and went fully into the question. I have too high an opinion of the firmness of mind and of the honour of Lord Aberdeen to believe that lie can hare retracted his views so readily ; and have reason to believe that he never did retract them, and that they still exist. I will notice another point of the Spanish question. tit the Spatlish Chamber allusion was made to what I had said relative to information given by the French Government to that of Spain on the subject of the movements which Were preparing in the Basque provinces. I have a very good answer to make to the Spanish Minister. I have only to ~ernmttnicate to him the letter of the Spanish Consul at thfinting the Director of the Customs for informing him that arms and ammunition word passing the frontier, thus indicating an approaching movement.—[M. Guild here read the letter.] Ido not know whether the Minister for Foreigii Affairs of Spain has been apprised of the contents of this letter: If he has, all doubt must have been removed from his t4iind. having dtl t 8 these neints.. Gentlemen, I repeat, that I will not be induced on this oecasidri tt! enter npon ques tions which have already been fully discussed. But if the Chamber, notwithstanding all that has been said on the Spanish question, should desire a further discussion, I will not shrink frSith it, elthotivh no new fact has transpired to render further discussion neZIO - tisaik. *het 1 hesr stated has been stated frankly, and with the strictest regard to its i mpossible to contradict it. The result of this discussion will shenV *fate= ther any thing more is required from me. etirt Or A ror.s?A'reH FROM THE EARL OF ABERDEF.N tO HER M A JESTY'S A M #A!ISSADOR AT emus, DATED iositti:l4-bi9'O, W. OS; Oki . My Lord,—My attention has been direci€L 4 Retort in the Moniteur, of a speech delivered in the Chamber etf ties by Monsieur Guizot, on the 20th init. On that occasion his Excellency read in the Tribune an account of a conversa tlciji t'.;etri!en the Cottitt Aulaire and myself, which had reference to the French poseilithi in Afritst„ end NNhieli had been transmitted by the Ambassador to the Fie;n4i In this relation, the Countde St. Aulaire observes—"l tie2ri by asserting that the security of our African possessions was fur le an interest of the highest importance, which he could +let: 01.1oef befere any consideration; and Lord Aberdeen, after having listened ft+ one „attentively, said, I am very glad to be able to explain myself distinctly tp yott upon this point. I was Minister in 1830. If I were to bad itit6t time, I should have much to say ; but I take affairs as they are in 1841; and in the state in which they have been lett by fit•eckiding. eahirietft • I therefore look upon your position in Africa Pitt atjmpli, agatirst which I have no further ob jection to make." New, I readly subscribe to the accuracy of this with the exception of the last sentence. I never said that I had row, no objection to make to the establishment of the French in 141 Ser'; f Wft that I had now no observation to make on the subject, and that if ;I'l Intentien to be silent. The con text shows that such was my meaning ; aftd, in fact, this deci sion was the result of mature reflection. I felt that ; after ten years of acquiescence, any objections at the present moment stotild have been misplaced; and that the course which it would friiife been impassible for me formerly to have adopted, had now become entifely eitittistent with propriety and duty. It does not follow, however, that ohjects,ern i although not ex pressed, may not be entertained. I have explained to the French Ambassador the misappre , hension into which he had fallen, and the erroneous statement which, in consequence, he had made to his Government. With the same object in view, your Excellency will have the goodness to read this despatch to M, Guizot.—l am, &c. (Signed) ABERDEEN. his Excellency the Lord Cowley, &c. DuilLIN, MARCH 15.—The particulars of a most gracious assault, commtited upon a lady of respectability last Saturday, have not as yet generally transpired through the prtss, lest their publication might tend to defeat the arrest of of the ilecii=tql, dgaihst iahrim a warrant has issued. It ap pears that Mr. C-1, an attorr}6y; hitherto holding a highly respectable rank in the profession, and the sou df an eminent merchant, has been for some time past lavish of his p oftSa sional favours upon Mr. C—, a barrister, living in one of our most fashionable streets, bringing him deeds, decla ation', and other documents in the way of his prof ssion, with the quiddam konorariuni in every case. The lawyer's profes sional triends were naturally jealous at not getting a share of the attorney's business, but the greatest intimacy pre vailed between them, to which these marks of favour were naturally attributed. All went on smoothly until Saturday, when the attorney called upon his friend the lawyer, wishing to see him, but being particularly en gaged. he was denied. The attorney asked to see the mistress, and was at once admitted to the parlour, where the lady sat. The usual warm and friendly salutations passed, but he had not been long in conversation when he commenced the most fervent expressions of admiration for the lady, protested that it was to gain her love he had so patronised tier husband, then seized her by the waist, and proceeded to the most rude and infamous measures. The lady screamed violently, ran to the sideboard, and seized a knife to defend herself. The hus band and servants ran, attracted by the screaming. and in the consequent struggle aid scuffle the husband fell, taking advan tage of which Latitat contrived to escape. One of the city Magistrates was sent for; he took the lady's informations, at once issued a warrant for the delinquent, and placed it in the hands of a confidential constable, but as yet he has not been able to make the fellow amenable. The affair, in the circle where it has transpired, has caused the utmost astonishment as well as indignation.—Letter in the Post. The 3lnniteur Parisien states that a person named Brignola issued circulars some time since, stating that four schools for forming young sailors were about to be opened at Havre, Nantes, St. Malo, and Dunkirk; that the plan had been approved of by three of the Ministers, and was under the patronage of several persons of respectability, whose names were quoted. On the payment of 300 f. ready money, boys were to be admitted into these shools, from the age of 12 to 21 ; and in consequence of this, a certain number of boys were confided to the care of the person in question. Instead of their being sent to the towns mentioned above, they were retained at Paris, and kept in a sort of barrack, under mili tary regime, in the rue Jean-Goujon. " The Prefect of Po police," this paper adds, " on being informed of the existence of this establishment, made inquiries, and found that Brignola had not received any Ministerial sanction ; that the pretended naval school was in fact only a primary school, without any of the guarantees of morality and capacity required by the law. About thirty boys were found in it badly clothed, armed in a grotesque manner, some with swords, some with pikes, and others with boarding-axes, who were going through naval exer cises and manoeuvres in a room, called "I' he Ship, in which several pieces of artillery, no longer serviceable, were placed. The arms and papers discovered in the establishment have been seized, and Brignola has heen placed in the hands of justice." A few days since, at a late hour in the evening, a well dressed man entered the shop of Mlles. Roche, mercers and milliners, in the Rue Saint Denis, and having put questions which satisfied him there was nobody there but the younger sister and two workwomen , he drew a dagger, and threatened to murder them if they did not give him all the money they had. Far a moment they were all panic struck, but one of them soon recovered her presence:of mind, drew the others through the back shop, and thence by a side door into the court-yard of the house, and called for assistance. The place was almost im mediately surrounded, but the thief had as promptly made his retreat, and could not be traced. The two men who made the attempt to rob the widow Boulanger, Beau-Marnis, near Calais, in the night of the 20th of November, against which she defended herself with so much heroism and success, were brought to trial on the 10th inst. at Saint Omer. The old woman appeared in Court, and gave her evidence with distinctness. It was corroborated by other circumstances, and the jury declared both prisoners guilty. They were accordingly sentenced to hard labour at the hulk 3 for twenty nail, place at 6alais. and to stand on the pillory in the market Mlle. Capdeville, of the Opera Comique, who was married 16 months back to M. Le Borne, applied on Tuesday to the Tribunal de Premiere Instance, for permission to be al lowed to give proofs of serious injuries inflicted on her by her husband, with a view to obtain a separation. The Court, after hearing counsel on the other side, rejected the application. COURT CIRCULAR.

POLICE INT 11: L LIGENCE. MAN SION- H 0 USE. A cab driver, named Win. Taylor, was brought before Al derman Farebrother, charged with having whipped to death one of the pigeons which have been accustomed to ay 'about Guildhall-yard so tamely, and so much to the attwement of the inhabitants. The officer said that the cabmen, who had a'stand in King street, were in the habit of cutting down the pigeons with their whips, and pocketing, them when they thought they were un observed by the police. So much disgraceful work of the kind had been done of late by the rascally fellows who were allowed t 4 have the stand close to the Guildhall-yard, that witness de termined to take the first offender in that way into custody ; and having seen several cabmen run to take up a pigeon which had just fallen beneath the fish, he apprehended the defendant, who happened to be the lucky picker-up. The poor bird, which was still warm, had the marks of the whip, and the cabmen in.• sisted that, as the pigeon family had no exact owner, they, as they contributed to the maintenance of the birds, were entitled to any which might die either by accident or violence. Alderman FA ItEl3 11 OTHER—The pigeons have been kept in the Guildhall-yard for a great many years ; and if any other case of the sort is brought before me, I shall direct a prosecu tion to be insti•uted by the City Sobcitor, for I consider them to be the property of the hall-keeper. he prisoner said that he by no means cut down the poor bird, although he admitted it had been flogged to death by some of the fraternity ; but he confessed that he picked it up, and he thought he had a better right to it than anybody else, as lie was in the habit of feeding the whole lot from his horse's nosebag. Alderman Fa REBROTHEit—SO you rob your master's horsa to feed the pigeons, and you steal the pigeons to t`jinag with hi f "" vorr elf. —( A laugh.) Defendant—No, pleas horse is used to the poor birds' a your Il'orship.

Mr. HOLLER said that all the ttvl hbotir§ stlpplied the pigeons with food, and were Mitten inteitStc'd iii proteking them. the Th t\ .± t,f A ch ldt ai i n •mj h ri i,d ha n V o l i tig i b eiz e 3i n siy3 iU sn r6le i pp 4 i 4 tI e the p p i o g l an th eon, at the dt no ' ?J °ooll.ll a‘iita given that he was the actual slaughterer of tit Iltbr bird, discharged hint, bat with the assuuranee that, lightly as the fraternity might think of • the offence, the experi ment of a prosecution should be tried in the event of a raped , tion of ft.—Th. (12,d pigeon Was then ordered to be delivered up to thehall_ - EOW-*l7iEEfi j6irph hirorrii, a yeullg man of very respectable aPpearan'i.A. W/ts hfou t glit up for finalexaminat ion, charged with robbing his employers to a very considerable extent, and his mother, Mary Elizadeth Brown, was charged with receiving a great portion of the stolen property, well• knowing the sane to have been stolen. Mr, Charles Christian, of the firm of Christian and Mat thews, East Bulia and array agents, carrying on business in St Martin's-place, Charing-prosy, stated that the male prisoner had been in his service as clerk about eighteen months. On the d4th of February, witness, in consequence of some infor mation he received, examined his store-room, and missed several pairs of Wellington boots. He questioned the ma l e prisoner on the subject, and he denied all know ledge of them. Witness then sent for the man by whom the boots had been made, and he, after looking atten tively at the prisoner's feet for some time, expressed his con viction that the prisoner had then on a pair of the identical stolen boots; on which witness desired prisoner to take off his boots, and the maker having examined them, said he could swear positively to them, as being one of the pairs of boots that be hail made for witness. The prisoner then declared that the boots he then more had been purchased by him at a shop in Ox ford-street; but witness being satisfied wi!li the statement of the bcot-maker, sent for a policeman, and ga'ic the pr.soner into custody. Witness afterwards accompanied the officers to the male prisoner's lodgings in Lisson-grove, and there they found the female prisoner, who stated that she was the mother of the male prisoner, and that he lived there with her. The officer then searched the room in the presence of witness, and he found several invoices of articles of jewellery made out as if they had been ordered by the witness and his nartner, but which in fact had not been ordered by them, and of which they knew nothing whatever. The officer also found sonic property in the room, which had been stolen from his warehouse, which the female prisoner admitted had been brought there by her son. The officer also found three skeleton keys. which, it was subsequently ascertained, would open nearly all the desks, drawers, &c., in witnesse's warehouses, and on a subse quent visit found in a garden at the rear of the house, up. wards of seventy duplicates, the greater number of which re lated to property which had been stolen from witness. 't he female prisoner admitted, in the presence of witness, that she had torn up the duplicates, and afterwards thrown them out of window. Witness, on subsequently examining his stock, missed several of the articles named in the duplicates ; and also five Si. notes of the Bank of England, whieh had been stolen from a book in his iron chest, and which he had deposited in the chest a few days before. Thomas Gundry, a shoemaker, in St. Martin's-lane, proved that the boots worn by the prisoner at the period of his appre hension, were made by him, and part of an order which he had executed for the prosecutor. Charles Royal, a clerk to the prosecutors, stated that he h a d on the day before the prisoner's apprehension, deposited the five .5/. Bank of England notes produced, in the prosecutor's iron chest. Charlotte Emma Susannah Smith stated that the prisoner had paid his addresses to her for some months past, and that the day before be was taken into custody on the present charge he called upon her and gave her five Si. Bank of England notes, three of which she gave base to him that evening, and the other two she subsequently gave up to a policeman. The prisoner gave her the notes and desired she would take care of them for He at the same time gave her a gold ring, which she subsequently gave up to the officer. Samuel Hastock stated that a short time sines prisoner came to him and presented written or ders for various articles of jewel ' lery, purporting to be rings, esigne chains, dbyhi &c., t employers,o the a a m rn o l u was Fll ' quently supplied with 101., which orders he had since ascertained were forgeries, but he suppled the articles to the prisoner, knowing thrt he was in ' the service of the prosecutors. Wm. Henry Powell, a pawnbroker, proved that all these latter articles had been pledged at his shop at different times, THE MARKETS.-(S ATURDAY.) NEWGATE AND LEADEMIALL.

It appeared that the deceased had run away from her parents, who are re5i1 . 9.111f? in London, and had been for some time past cohabiting with a sheemaker, named Dovey, they passing as man and wife, and 'hiding at No. 12, Brill-crescent, Somers-town. About a month since Dovey was admitted into Middlesex Hospital for an injury of the leg, and ever sine! then the deceased had been living a most abandoned and debauched scarcely ever being sober. At as early hour on Thursday morifihg last she returned home to her lodgings in a state of excessive holovization, having been out during the whole of the night; and beityeen , nine and ten it was disco vered that she had taken twopenny worth of arsenic, which she had by sae for several days. Verdict—" That the deceased died from hat;ng taken arsenic while in a state of intoxication." Having had oesee,4tm in the eorrse of the present week to travel by the Eastern Counties' Railway, we have much gratification in being able to beat testimony to the ad mirable arrangements adopted in working the line, and more especially to the extreme efficiency and simplicity of the signals employed. They deserve the attention of every railway ma nagement.— liailterry Times. DIED—On the llth .9f December, near Seebee Tip per Scinde, in his 20th year, Edward Darnley Halswell, 6111 Regiment Bombay Native Infantry, the highly gifted and much loved son of Edmund Halswell, Esq., of Gore Lodge, Old Brompton. This talented and amiable young max was killed by the natives whilst out sketching, and his untimely fete will he long and deeply deplored by his afflicted family and by a ritinatrovas circle of friends. EASTER) COUNTIES'RAILWAY.—On Thursday week at Chelmsford, occurred ease of those scenes which have gotten railways the name of being rowimon plunder. One Mr. Ka vannagh had sold the Company six acres of land, for which he received 150/. an acre, and 2,000/. as compensation for seve rance. In the conveyance he had secured a right of way over the land told, and he now contended that he was entitled to a separate right our each piece conveyed. The Court, however, thought he had had enough out of the Company, and found in stantly for the defendants, that is, the Company. Is this Ka vannagh any relation to the indiv:dual who found five separate bridges indispensable over the London and Birmingham Rail way, and at last discovered that gold would furnish him with wings to do without them, one after another ?—Railterty Magazine. A servant girl of Mr. 'Jardine's, the chemist in Drury-lane, who was supposed to have fallen a victim to the flames which consumed his house on Wednesday night, was found on Thursday night in the coal-cellar under the street, to which the bad run for security , an d from w hich she had been unable to escape in consequence of the entrance having become blocked up with rubbish. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT.—On Saturday eleven men were brought before Mr. Jeremy, the sitting Magistrate at Greenwich, charged by the Governor of the Greenwich Union with wilfully exposing their persons by destroying their own clothes in the vagrant pauper ward at the workhouse. 'the prisoners were received the previous night for a temporary lodging, as casual poor passing through the town. The fol lowing morning, upon the Governor going into their ward, he found the whole of them naked, having torn the clothes they had on into perfect rags. Mr. Jeremy said the law had not provided a punishment for such conduct. The prisoners had a right to destroy their own property, and, as regarded the in. decency of the act, it was not a public exposure. He advised the Governor to confer with the Poor-law Commissioners, who would consult the Secretary of State upon the matter. The relieving officer said he feared before a remedy could be applied the Union would be put to great expense, as he had ten, twelve, or fourteen applications of a day. The prisoners left the Court delighted with the decisson. ARSON AT CARLISLE.—A lengthened investigation took place before the Magistrates on the 16th inst., respecting the fire which broke out in the Angel, English-street, on Sa turday, the 12th, when Mrs. Christopherson the landlady, her daughter a girl of fourteen years of age, and a servant-girl named Blaylock, who made some strange disclosures, were all committed to take their trial for arnon. A letter from Cherbourg states that six vessels were driven ashore on that coast (luring the late storm, and several houses were much injured. Considerable devastations were alga cause 4 in the surrounding country. _ The Pope has conferred the Order of Gregory the Great upon Al. Charles Lucas, Member of the Institute, in testimony of the satisfaction of his Holiness at the labour of M. Lucas in promotion of the penitentiary system. The Emancipation of Toulouse has becql condemned to a fine of 500 f. for not having made the formal declaration of its having changed the days of its publication. This was by the Correctional Tribunal of Toulouse, but the responsible Editor and chief Editor of the journal were also cited before the Court of Assizes of the Haute Garonne, on the llth inst., and sentenced by default to two years' imprisonment, and a fine of 2,000 f., for inserting several seditious articles. The consecration of the new Bishop of Viviers was performed at Marseilles, on the 1 tth inst., in the church of Saint-Cannat, by the Bishop of Marseilles, the Archbishop of Aix, the Bishops of Valence , , Ajaccio, Mahon,l and Babylone, and many other dignitaries. The ceiemonv was witnessed by an immense congregation, among whom were General Sebas tiani, Commander of the Bth Military Division, and M. de la Coste, Prefect of the department. A notorious Corsican bandit named Griggi, who had Er a long time been the terror of the district infested by him and his gang, most of whom had been captured, was shot last month by a small detachment of voltigeurs sent to arrest him. Griggi defended himself with great energy for a long time, but was at last killed by two balls in the head. He bad committed numerous depredations and seyergi murders. ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY. Extract from the Report of Sir Frederick Sr , '+h and Professor Barlow, to the Earl of Ripon, on Ui application of the atmospheric principle in producing locomotion on railways : " The experiments which have been tried at Worm wood Scrubs have proved the practicability of giving motion to considerabl e l oa d s at a maximum velocity of 40 miles per hour. 44 On the Bth August, 1840, we were present at experiments, when a load of 13 tons was thus pro pelled, and a mean velocity obtained in the first expe rnnent of 20 miles per hour, and in the second expe. rim ent of between 19 and 29 miles per hour. 6 6 On the 12th and 14th of January, 1842, in ac cora:ice with your Lordship's instructions, we insti tuted certain other experiments, when the maximum velocity obtained with a load of five tons was, in one set of experiments, 26, and in the other set, 40 miles per hour. " It is, therefore, as above observed, no longer a question whether trains of carriages may be worked by means of atmospheric pressure ; the points now to be decided are— " Ist. Whether this principle admits of its being advantageously applied to greater distances than half a mile, which is the length of the present experi mental line. " 2ndly. The probable expense of constructing a ranway on this principle, and of supplying the . loco motive power. " 3raly. The relative economy in working such a line, as compared with a railway worked by locomo• tive engines. " 9thly. The degree of safety - which the atmo6phe ric sys tem affords, as compared with other locomotive means," After stating their views on the subject, and de scribing the mode of inquiry, they came to the fol lowing resolutions : " Firstly, That we consider the principle of atmos pheric propulsion to he established, and that the eco nomy of working increases with the length and dia n.'eter of the tube. ." Secondly, That the expense of the formation of the 1 :;ne in cuttings, embankments, bridges, tunnels, and will be very little les s th an f or equa l l engt h s of a ra; .•ay to he w o rk e d b y l ocomo ti ve eng i nes, bu t r a, i 1 :: that the to. f al cost of th e wor k s w ill b e much greater, owing to tiexpense of p rov idi ng an d l ay i ng th e at mospheric t . %bt'. and erecting the stationary engines. That the expense of wo r ki ng a li ne on this '" p i r h i Thirdly, e , (Ali which trains are frequently passing, will be less than working by locomotive engines, and that the saving thus effected will in some cases more than compensate for the additional outlay; but it will be the reverse on lines of unfrequent trains. How ever, there are many items of expense of which we have no knowledge And can form no opinion, such as the wear and tear of pistons, valves, &c. ; on these further experience is necded. " Fourthly, That with proper means of disengaging the train from the piston, fe cases of emergency, we consider this principle as regards safety equal to that appertaining to rope machinery. There appear, how ever, some practical difficulties in rege,rd lo junctions, crossings, sidings, and stoppages at roa d stations, which may make this syF.tem of less general application. "We may add that the atmospheric principle seems to us well suited for such a line as the projected ex tension from Kingstown to Dalkey is represented to he, but we should have been glad if this line had been three miles, instead of only one mile and three-quar ters in length, as it would have then brought this principle to a more complete and decided test." OPINIONS IN SCOTLAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Glasgow, 7th March, 1842. SIR,—For a few days after learning the extent of corruption in high places, the Scotch remained as it were staggered and confounded, worn out by the ex ertion they had already made, and each man asking his neighbour what is to be done now ? but lam re joiced to announce through you to our London friends, that the battle-cry is once more rising through the length and breadth of Scotland, and, with a spi rit of determination worthy of the people who main tained their liberties against England for five centu ries, although beaten in every pitched battle, save the crowning one of Bannockburn. In the first place traitors are to be called to ac count. Stirling has shown the example : Lord Dal meny was returned for the Stirling district of Burghs, against the wish of the Dumfermline electors, who never trusted him solely by Totes from the town of Stirling. Ile was so elected upon a written pledge to vote for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws ; he has broken it, and the first four names open a requisition about to be presented for his resig nation, from the Stirling electors who voted for him, are those of the four Bailies or Magistrates of Stirling. A similar dose is in preparation by Edinburgh for Babington Macaulay. In Glasgow our Members both did their duty, and Oswald, in prsticular, although drawing his whole income, about 20,000/. per annum, from land, seconded Mr. Villiers' motion ; but here also the ex citement is such that the declaration in favour of " Manhood Suffrage" has been subscribed by eleven Justices of the Peace, some of them the pro prietors of manufacturing establishments, amongst the largest in Britain. The sentiment everywhere heard is—" no representation, no taxation." "If by im posts on the necessaries of life all are taxed, all should vote in the election of the body who impose these taxes." It is also an ominous sign of the times that the nu r:ers and seconders of toe resolutions at the " Sturge M act inga" are everywhere Dissenting clergymen. At:the Edinburgh meeting four clergymen spoke, at I illoa three, at Paisley three Dissenting and one stabli shed Church clergymen, and at Airdrie three. At the Glasgow meeting, which will be held in a few days, several will come forward. One-third part of the whole population of Paisley is supported by public charity. The funds are .ex hausted ; they have been unable to obtain farther as sistance in England, and so have entered into a third local subscription, which has only yielded 9001., or one week's supply. The people will be starving im mediately, and when starving, desperate. Let the landlords know that when the moment arrives, th ere will not be wanting those who will point the finger to them as the cause of the evil. In fact, the manuiSlc turers here, when solicited for subscriptions, already answer—" We see no prospect of being able to main tain ourselves and families. We cannot help you ; go to the landlords ; they have caused and profit by the evil." Do not let Sir Robert Peel, the landlords, or fund-holders, deceive themselves ; there is a feel ing of exasperation abroad, which could hardly be surpassed, even in France at a celebrated epoch. Already, in rwmerous instances, have the bonds of private friendship been severed, and men come to re gard as personal enemies all who maintain or speak in favour of laws which threaten the existence of them selves and families. _ _ Lord John Russell's late speech has been received here with marked reprobation. The response to it has been—" Woe unto those who call evil good, and good evil." " Woe unto those who cry peace, peace, while there is no peace !" " Though hand join in hand, yet shall not the wicked go unpunished." There are few of those who fire bullets at the effigy of Sir Robert Peel, •or shout when they see dangling in the air at the end of a rope, who do not wish, and if they saw a hope of success, would not try to convert representation into reality. SOUTHAMPTON, MARCII 18.—The West Indian Company's steamer Isis will convey the Mexican and West Indian Mails from England on the first of next month. She is expected at this port in a few days. The Dee is not yet arrived, although she has been expected for the last three days. The Great Liverpool will be relieved from • quarantine, which she is performing at the Motherbank s on the 20th inst. She has brought an unusually large number of passengers this voyage. One of the passengers is Captain Gifford, R.N., a gallant and fortunate young officer, who has been repeatedly praised for his skill and bravery in the Chinese war, in the despatches of the General and Admiral command ing in China. Captain Gifford is the son of Admiral Gifford, an old an estimable inhabitant of Southampton. On the morning of the 6th inst., writes a, corres pondent at Berlin, 18 men 8 women, and several children, of from 10 to 14 years old,' underwent the ceremony of bap tism by immersion in the Lake of Rummelsburg, about a league from Berlin, although the water was covered with tr. thin coat of ice, and the wind blew very strong from the .Wort-east. The ceremony was presided over by M. Lhemann, o.ne of the most celebrated engravers of the Prussian capital, who, during a late visit to London, had been ordained a minister of the Anabaptists. lie commenced by . delivering a long disccurse on a text taken from the Apoenrypha. The catechumons then retired into two tents, one for the males, the other for the females. There they stripped themselves of all their gar— ments, and put on a long white linen bathing-gown, in which/ they re-appeared on the border of the lake, and having bowedl to their pastor, plunged into the water. The minister himself ' , who had also undressed himself, and put on a black linen gown, followed them into the lake, and submerged each seve ral times. The whole then returned again to the tents, and • dressed themselves in their ordinary clothes. The spectators were wry numerous. There is no political news of the slightest interest , in the Madrid Journals of the 9th inst. The Castellano gives a proclamation published by General Rodil at Victoria on the sth, in which he announces his determination of punishing with great severity all persons attempting to seduce the troops from their fidelity, or otherwise plotting against the Govern. • rnent. The proclamation offers pecuniary rewards for the denunciation of such offenders, or the arrest of Spanish re fugees returning to Spain without permission from the autho rities. A Madrid letter states that a modification of the Spanish Cabinet is generally expected to take place speedily. A frightful accident occurred in Wombwell's show of wild beasts at Stamford on Friday night last, owing to li tr e indiscretion of a person in a state of intoxication.
