GLOBE.—A custom appears to prevail in many of the Union workhouses of turning out inmates who it is alleged have no claim on the particular parish where they have asked for relief—a practice to which we should see no objection, if it were acted on with the intention of transferring paupers to the place that ought to be charged with the burden of supporting them. Instead of this, however, destitute creatures are, thrust out of the doors of a workhouse merely to enter those of a prison ; for, finding parochial relief refused to them, they have no alternative but to transfer themselves to gaol by committing some small offence which entitles them to a short period of imprisonment. By this system the Houses of Cor rection are becoming inconveniently crowded with criminals in spite of themselves—persons who can get supported with less difficulty as delinquents than as mere paupers, and thus the gaols are becoming, as it were, refuges for the destitute who are driven from the workhouses. Besides the immorality that is occasioned by the obligation under which the poor are often placed of committing an offence, in order to ob tain the food which is due to their necessity alone, the system we are alluding to is unfair towards the payers of the county rates, who are saddled with a burden that ought to be borne by the contributors to the poor rate. In addition to this, the individuals who are ac cidentally selected to have their windows broken—one of the most usualways adopted by desperate persons for obtaining an entrance to prison—have strong reason to complain, as well as those who are subjected to the loss of their property by thefts committed with the view of gaining for their perpetrators the support that the parish authorities withhold from them. It should also be remembered that habits of robbery and vio lence, commenced from motives of want, are likely to grow on those who practise them, and who thus be come confirmed enemies of society, and reckless vio lators of the rights of property. It is time that some better course should be adopted than that by which parsimony of the poor rates appears to be paramount to every consideration of morality, humanity, and justice, all of which are indiscriminately sacrificed that the " parish" may be relieved as much as possible of the burdens that press upon it. STANDARD.—This day is the second of the two sacred anniversaries upon which we have been always accustomed to claim for ourselves an exemption from the necessity of prosecuting political controversy; an exemption in which, as we gratefully remem ber, our readers have never failed to indulger us. The time, we trust, is not distant, when upon such solemn occasions, the publication of newspapers will be altogether prohibited by public feeling. We think we see an approach to such a consumma tion in the. growing limitation of Sunday journals. Meanwhile we adhere to our rule. If we could de viate from it, there are considerations connected with the day which might be shown to have an important bearing upon the subject which now properly engrosses public attention. Why is the duty of " preaching the Gospel to the poor" so imperfectly discharged ? Why are so many of our fellow-citizens—for whose spiritual welfare we are as deeply responsible as for their temporal happiness—deprived of the opportunity of conse crating this day to prayer, and praise, and gratitude to Him, whose sacrifice for us this day commemo rates ? Why, alas, are so many without even the dis position ? The answer has been, because the finances of the State will not afford the cost of extending the ' means of religious worship. Is this a sufficient answer from the nation which Heaven has blessed with more wealth, more abundant wealth, than was ever lavished upon a people ? We are told that our resources must be reserved for war, and that to call them forth for the works of peace and mercy, and preparations that are the preservatives of peace, is forbidden. Is this ra tional—is it Christian ? Is it not, in truth, saying that the goods which the Almighty has bestowed )apon us are confided for the destruction, not for the preservation of our fellow c r e atures ? It is known that Sir Robert Inglis has a motion to bring before Parliament for the extension of the means of religious instruction ; but how can this. motion succeed if the revenues of the country aro to remain crippled, as they have been ? Who can siay that he seriously intends to promote the ob ject of such a motion, when he withholds the neces sary instrument for its promotion ? We trust that many will think seriously of this. The first income tax ever imposed in England (it was 600 years ago) was imposed for the service of religion—so false is the pretence that it has always been a war tax. But we are sure that we have said enough upon this point, and we have said more than we intended. TRIAL FOR THE GLASGOW BANK ROBBERY.—The trial of Robert Smith, lately teller in the Glasgow and Ship Bank, and James Wishart, wine and spirit dealer in Glasgow, who were accused of abstracting and con verting to their own uses upwards of 10,7001., came on before the High Court of Justiciary on Wednesday last. The charges against them broke down upon the infor mality of the proceeding:, and they were obliged to be served with new criminal letters, which was accordingly' done the instant of their dismissal upon the old indict ment. _ P* DEATH4OF SIR WILLIAM BEATTY, M.D.—.We re gret to announce that Sir William Beatty, M.l) , PALS , l a te Physician to her Mejesty's Fleet and Greenwich Hospital, died at an early hour this morning, at his re sident::: in York-street, Portnian-square. H e h ad semid leis country long and faithfully in all clinics, and had the melancholy tluty of being officially p resent at the death of his distinguished commander, the Hero of Tra falgar. It may be justly said of Sir William Beatty that his whole professional life seemed to accord with the sentiment expressed in Nelson's last and ever me morable signal to the fleet. SUDDEN DEATH IN THE STREETS.—Mr. Wakley yesterday held an inquest at the Mother Redcap, High street, Camden -town, on the body of Thomas Overton, aged fifty-six, a carpenter in the employ of Mr. Allen, builder, of Camden -terrace, It-appeared that on Tuesday morning the deceased came to his work as usual at six o'clock, went home to breakfast, and returned in his usual state of health, and was laughing and joking. About /1-71' eleven o'clock he went with George Scalding, the car man, to some new houses, building on St. James's-ter race, Kentish-town-road. Scadding went up to the door, and, turning round, said, " There's no knocker " here, Thomas." Overton replied, " No, there isn't, in deed," and instantly exclaimed, Lord, bave mercy up on me—George, I'm a dead man." Scadding caught him whilst falling, and sat him on the step of the door, and Mr. Curtis, surgeon, was sent for, but deceased was dead in half a minute. Verdict—" Natural death." ELECTION COMMITTEE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) WIGAN. The vote of John Jump wiisstruck off. Thomas Gilbert and Edward Jones were next struck off the poll of the pctitioners. Henry Cooke and Thomas Lyon were struck off the poll of the sitting Members. John Robinson was next struck off the poll on the part of the sitting Members, and Mr. Standish and Mr. Crosse being now equal on the poll, the Committee adjourned to 11 o'clock on Saturday. GREAT MARLOW. The Committee met again yesterday morning at eleven. After some discussion the Committee decided that the objec tion to the vote of Edward Newell should be gone into. Evidence was then produced to show that an inhabitant of the borough, of the name of Pasey, had paid the rates for the premises out of which Newell registered ; and that the claim of the voter had been allowed by the Revising Barrister, be- Cause there had been an informality in the notice of objectiou. The Committee declared that the vote was a bad one, and ought to be struck off the poll. This decision has left the numbers on each side equal. The vete of Joseph Cochrane was next objected to by Mr. Cockburne, for the sitting member ; but after some evidence had been gone into, the objection was withdrawn. The vote of John Harris was then objected to by Counsel for the petitioners, on the ground of insufficiency of value. It appeared that the premises had been sworn to be of the value of 101., but evidence was adduced to show that the rent paid by the occnpier was only 91., and he was heard to say that he would swear it up to 101. The valuators differed as to the precise amount at which the premises should be fixed. After a short deliberation the Committee decided that the vote was a bad one, and should be struck off the poll. This decision has placed the sitting Member ins minority of one. The Committee then adjourned till Eleven o'Clock on Sa turday next. WEYMOUTH AND MELCOMBE REGIS. The arguments on the votes of Wm. Fowler, an elector on the side of the sitting Members proceeded. The charge of per • sonation was not established, and the Committee decided that William Fowler, the mariner, had a good qualification, and did vote out of that and no other. Francis Stayner was nest objected to. He was also a voter for the sitting Members.. The objection was that he was im properly . admitted to the register. This was an appeal from the decision of the Revising Barrister, who, it was said, bad admitted Stayner, though he had not resided in the borough twelve calendar months before the Slst July, 1840. A witness proved that Stayner had resided in Guernsey for some years. Mr. TALBoT—Did he never come to W eymouth ? Witness —Yes, at the elecrion.—(Laughter.) Mr. TALBOT—Did he not come before that? Witness— Yes at the other election .—( Laughter. ) After a long argument the Committee declared that Stayner's vote was bad, and then adjourned till Monday. The petitioners are now two a head; the race will be neck and neck. LAW INTELLIGENCE. YIOE- CHANCELL ORS' COURT, March 24. (Before Vice-Chancellor BRUCE.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. CULLII*.—THE SAME V. GRICE. This case was argued on the 17th of March, and was directed by his Honour to stand over till to-day. Mr. Cooper, Mr. M'Christie, Mr. Boteler, Mr.:J. Rus s ell, Mr. Sewell, and Mr. Bacon appeared for the de fendants. Mr. H. Twiss and Mr. Wray appeared for the Attor ney-General. This case came before the Court upon the Master's report, and for further directions, and also on petition. The charity to which the information related was ealled " The Guildhall Feofment of Bury St. Edmund's," and was originally founded in the latter part of the 14th or in the of the 15th century. In the succeeding three centuries its funds were increased by Cie gifts, devises, and bequests of various benefactors, and at present its an nual revenue exceeded 2,1001. Many portions of the gifts, devises, and bequests, having been given for supersti tious uses, were void by the statute. Other portions were for the repair of the different churches in Bury, and the other portions were given for the aged poor inhabi tents of the town generally. The present information was filed in 1833, at the relation of certain inhabitants of Bary, alleging various charges of mismanagement against the feoffees, and in 1836 an order was made re ferring it to the Master to inqluire and ascertain, amongst other things, the amount of the property, and for a scheme for the future management of the charity. The first point now before the Court was whether the master was correct in the course which he had suggested for taking Ithe property—namely, that it ought to be let in tenders after the advertisements in the Bury news papers, and upon taking the opinion of a competent sur veyor. His HoNoma was of opinion that the course suggested by the Master was a proper one, with this modification— that the trustees should not be bound to accept any of the tenders, provided they found in the exercise of their discretion that they could let on better and more advan tageous terms for the charity. The next point was in reference to three schools, which the master had found it would be proper to build and support out of the surplus income—namely, a com mercial school, for the instruction of 150 boys ; a poor boys' school, for the instruction of 300 boys ; an a poor girls' school, for the instruction of 150 girls. The Master's report left it to the trustees to appoint masters and mistresses, without stating of what religious per suasion they ought to be. On the part of the Attorney- General it was urged, that the Court ought to declare that the masters and mistresses ought to be members of the Church of England, and that the Scripture lessonl prepared for the Irish National Schools ought not to be made part of the scheme. _ _ Mr. COOPER said that both parties had agreed to the substitution of the following clause, instead of the 10th and 11th articles of the Master's scheme. They agreed first tharthe masters and mistresses were to be members of the Church of England. The clause which they then proposed to substitute was as follows :—" That during one hour at the least of every school day, the master shall give religious instruc tion to all the scholars, such religious instrnction to be confined to the reading and explanation of the Scriptures; and he shall give instruction in the doctrines and prin ciples of the church of England to such of the boys whose parents are in communion with that church, and the scholars shall be required to repair, twice every Lord's-day, to church, or other place of public worship, according to their several creeds ; and those who go to church shall go along with and be accompanied by the master." His HONOUR said, that the instruction on the Lord's day must be specifically described as " instruction re lating to the liturgy, catechism, and articles of the church." Mr. COOPER said that they had also agreed to insert this proviso—" Nevertheless any two trustees, by a note in writing, may excuse from attendance at church any of the scholars who were children of parents not in com munion with the church of England." His HONOUR said—Was he distinctly to understand that every party in the town was now represented before him, and that they agreed to the scheme in its modified shape ? icir. BOWLER answered affirmatively. His HONOUR said that the result, therefore, was this— All the teachers were to be members of the church of England, by which alone he meant that religion could not be taught without interpretation. The Court must state some interpretation, and there would be insur mountable difficulties in stating any interpretation, ex cept that according to the Established Church. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIR C UlT.—Lewes, March 22. CROWN COURT.—(Before Baron ALDRRION.) Edward Mercer, alias " Curly," labourer, 21, James Baker, alias Porter, 2P, And William Cottner, alias Mark, the Conjuror, were indicted for highway robbery upon Richard Lowe, and steal ing a canvass bag, seven sovereigns, a half.sovereign, six pounds in silver, and a cheque for fifteen pounds, from his person; and the indictment, in accordance with the statute, stated that at the time of the robbery the prisoners met and wounded the prosecutor. This case, from Ole circumstances connected with it, has created a good deal of interest, and the Court was Crowded during the trial. It seemed that the prosecutor, who is bailiff to a gentleman named Graham, residing at Worth Hill, went, on the 30th of De cember, to East Grinstead market, and he there received about 331. on account of his master, and he set off on horseback on his return home about one o'clock in the morning, having the money at that time in a canvass hag in his trousers' pocket. When he arrived at a place called Histed's Bars, he was attacked by four or five men, who seized his horse, dragged him to the ground, beat him most severely, and ultimately robbed him of his money and left him in a state of insensibility. Baron ALORRsoN summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoners were ordered to be transported for life. WEDNESDAY. CROWN COURT. THE RINGMER ROBBERY AND ALLEGED MURDER.— John Pochney, 30, Charles Briggs, 26, and Stephen Sted man, 29, w ere indicted for assualting Hannah Smith, otherwise Devonshire, since deceased, and stealing from her various articles, her property. Mr. CLARKSON stated the case ; after which he called the following witnesses : Ann Stanford deposed—ln the year 1838 my husband kept the Anchor Inn at Ringmer. I recollect the de ceased being at our house on Friday night, the Ist of June. She came there between seven and eight, or eight and nine in the evening, and she had a basket with her, which contained cottons, tin pots, and other little articles: She went in the tap. The prisoners came to the house that night while deceased was there. They stopped until nearly eleven with the deceased. About a quarter to eleven the prisoners left the house ; but deceased was there. I asked her how far she had to go ; she said to Lewes. I said " You are afraid, are you not ?" She replied, " No ; I am not afraid ; I have been on the road too many times ; no one will hurt me." She left about eleven o'clock, and I saw her pass the paving. She had a pack on her back, and a basket, and an umbrella. Cross-examined—l saw prisoner Pockney in the tap room about eleven o'clock, with the other prisoners. John Gatson deposed—l am in the service of the Rev. Mr. Lupton, who lives in the rectory-hous• , at Pound, Ringmer. At the back of my master's premises there is a pond, and on the other side a meadow, and by the side of the meadow is rising ground. On the morning of Saturday, the 2nd of Jur.e, I had occasion to go to the pond about six o'clock to get some water, where I saw a basket standing on the bank in the mea dow, and also an umbrella. The grass was a good deal trodden down, which appeared to have been done by three orffour persons. In consequence of other appear ances about the pond, I obtained assistance, and 1 saw the body of a woman taken out of the pond. There was a'pack on her back. The body was taken to a place belonging to a man named Briggs. I saw there were a few things left in the basket. The depth of the pond was nearly ten feet. Franci; Fagan, superintendent of police, deposed—ln consequence of a letter which I received I made inqui ries as to the death of Hannah Smith. I apprehended a Man named Washer, and after that I took prisoner Pockney, on the 21st October. After he had been in custody he made a statement, and prisoner signed it, which was produced before the committing magistrate. I afterwards took Briggs into custody, and told him for what, when he made the statement produced. The statement was then read, and was to the following effect :—He was at the Anchor about eleven o'clock with Briggs and Stedman, when the deceased was there ; they had some conversation with her, and it was agreed that they should all have connexion with her. I went out first, when the deceased came out, and I spoke to her, and she said she had no objection. Stedman and Briggs followed behind us. I took her into the fields. The prisoner then admitted the committal of a capital offence, and that they also then robbed the deceased. 1 had the work-box and some other little articles. We shared the things in the church-yard. Stedman then went home. On the following morning, when I got up, General Washer called me out, and said, " Where did you leave the old woman last night, because she is dead, and I thought you might have had some nonsense with her." I said I couldn't stop now as I was in a hurry. The confession went on to state that after the Jury had sat upon the deceased it was agreed that Stedman and himself (Pockney) should return the things, as they might get them into trouble. Stedman told me he had thrown something in a pond at the back of his brother's house. We left the woman near the pond asleep. I don't know anything about any specta cles. A further statement was then read, also made by Pockney, and which was taken before the Magistrates ; it was to the following effeet :--Before we left I said she was asleep. Briggs said, " Let us see what she has got in her basket," and he then took something out of her basket. Stedman then took a snuff-box out of de ceased's pocket. Fagan continued—l took the prisoner Briggs into cus tody on the 2d of October, and told him it was on sus - picion of murdering the woman at Ringmer. He sent for me on the Sunday night, and made a statment in his own handwriting, to the following effect :—" I went into the Anchor, and I saw the woman in the house. Sted man, Pockney, and Washer were there. We left about eleven o'clock. I only saw deceased drink a glass of ale. Pockney went on with the deceased, and Stedman and myself followed." Fagan resumed.—l took Stedman into custody on the 21st of October, in Watford, Hertfordshire. I told him upon what charge ; when he said, " bad company has brought me in that situation." We came to London and slept in ono room, when he made a statement. The statement of Stedman was here read, addressed to the Earl of Chichester, and commenced by stating, that he being unfortunately one of those who were connected in the disgraceful affair of the woman who was drowned, he con sidered it his duly to appease his conscience by divulging that which he knew about it. The unfortunate woman was sitting in the tap-room when he went to the Anchor. Pockney told him that he made it all right with the cld woman. His LORDSHIP then summed up, and remarked, that it was not not fair to presume that the deeeasea came by her death in any unfair way, and he thought it very probable that she, being in a state of intoxication, stag gered into the pond ; but, as they were aware, that charge was done away with. The Jury found the prisoners, Stedman and Pockney, guilty of larceny, and acquitted Briggs. The prisoner Pockney was sentenced to two years, and Stedman to eighteen months' imprisonment and hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. Two wretched women were brought before Sir Peter Laurie, oharged with having threatened to break windows in order to obtain a resting place and food for the night. One of the women had been, she said, at the Peckham work house, for relief in her extreme want, but she was turned out next morning, and she met the others, who were in u bad a condition. They both declared that they must have perished in the streets if they had had not at last succeeded, by threatening to do mischief, in getting au asylum in the station-house, to which they were con veyed by the policeman, who very properly did not delay till damage was done. Sir P. Lauazs said he did not know what to do with the mise rable creatures who made appeals of the kind, proceeding, it was quite evident, from total destitution. He then desired Gooch, the turnkey of the Giltspur.street Compter, to let him know in what condition that prison was as to the accommodation of the inmates. Gooch said that he had been a servant in the prison twenty-two years, and he had never seen it in so crowded a state. There were three and four in a bed, In which no more than one man ought to be, and fires were kept up all night for those who could not be ac commodated with a bed in a cell to warm themselves by. The in convenience was very great indeed. Sir P. LAURIE said he had received intelligence from Captain Kingcode, the Governer of Bridswell, that in that prison from 40 to 50 persons were obliged to lie on the floor. From such crowded prisons infectious diseases must be apprehended, and he was most decidedly of opinion that the Government ought to interfere to pre vent the fearful consequences of the breaking out of gaol distempers, After some conversation between Sir P. Laurie and Mr. Mohler, the women were discharged, with the advice to apply to the union of the district in which they were found in a state of destitution. WOR SHIP- S TREE T. Thomas Drew, a demure looking elderly man, de scribed as a tailor, was charged before Mr. Bingham, under the following circumstances : A policeman of N division stated that he was passing an unoccupied house in Sheperdess-walk, City read, at a late hour on Wednesday night, when he heard a noise inside, and on looking down into the cellar he perceived the prisoner, who, on being asked what he wanted there, said he was a tramper, and being without any place of refuge, he had taken up his quarters there for the night. On turning his light into the cellar, wit ness observed a woman's bonnet lying at the prisoner's feet, which the prisoner said belonged to his wife ; and at the same moment a woman. darted out of the cellar, and scampered off, leaving her soi disant Benedict to his fate. The prisoner was con veyed to the station-house, and on his way thither he confessed that he been-allured by the blandishments of the cockatrice who had left him in the lurch, and begged witness to let him go, foi if the affair reached the ears of his wife, he would never hear the last of it:. The prisoner who appeared thoroughly ashamed of his conduct, was about to stammer out some explana tion, when Mr. BINGUAM told him that the circumstances of the case required no elucidation, and he had much better remain silent. The inconvenience he had suffered was a sufficient punishment for his folly, and he might go his way and endeavour to make his peace with his wife. The prisoner was then discharged.

For variety of costume, and diversity of people of different nations, Smyrna beats everything I ever beheld. I had previously looked on Gibraltar as sthe Babel of many languages; next, in this °pallor, Constantinople usurped its place ; but they were both thrown far into the shade by the varied assemblage I witnessed here, in a morning's stroll through the market places and bazaars. Your way in the narrow thoroughfares is often completely stopped by long strings of camels, groan ing nder uimmense loads of figs, and preceded by their uncouth and Tartar-like looking drivers, gen erally mounted on a small ass. These wild-looking and bronzed figures from the interior, generally rejoice in enormous turbans, and huge jack, or rather fisherman's boots, which must add greatly to the burden of the already over-weighted little ani mals which they bestride. You are jostled by busy and noisy Greeks, ever in motion, and resplendent in all the glories of the magnificent Palicar costume, offering, by their noisy vociferations and vehement gestures, a marked contrast to the grave Turk or stately Persian merchant, who, with his amber mouthed chibouk in hand, is patiently awaiting the arrival of a customer for some of his rich silks or handsome carpets, which are displayed before him in the greatest profusion. The next stall is, may be, occupied by some cunning Israelite, or plodding son of Armenia, who, with pen in hand, and an enormous tea-kettle of a calpac stuck on his shaven crown, is carefully noting down, in cramped and mystical cha racters, the gains of the day, and scarcely raises his eyes as he casts a glance of surprise at the rolling and careless gait of some of our jolly tars, who, with Dido ' written on their glazed tiles, are now having a spree on shore. Unless to this list be added French men and Austrians, friars and Catholic priests, wan dering Turco:nans, and begging dervishes, Syrian Jews and Maltese sailors, the picture would be in complete, as far as regards the rougher sex. And now we take a peep at the ladies. " Remoter from its focus, innovation has, at Smyrna, made less rapid progress than in the capital ; and, as the insignia of the faith, the turban,' is here much more prevalent than the fez,' so, in the gentler sex, a greater adhesion to Oriental customs and costume is observed in the closer folds of the feridjee, and more careful adjustment of the yashmac. Their charms are further protected from any obtrusive glance by the addition of a piece of black crape, which completely shrouds the countenance, and leaves no thing for the most lively imagination to seize on. " Towards evening, the portly beauties of Armenia may be seen at the windows, and are easily discerni ble by their Dudu' forms, sleepy dark eyes, anC, fine complexions ; the voluptuous -langour of their general appearance offering a marked contrast to the lively glances and sparkling black eyes of the Greek damsels, who display their charms amidst the gaudy and often ill-assorted collection of brilliant colours, of which their dress is always composed, and which gives them a much less modest appearance than their veiled and nunlike Osmanli sisters. Their hair, increased by the addition of false locks or co loured silk, is plaited, and either twisted round the red and gold-studded fez, else intermingled with the folds of the turban. A kind of loose jelic, or spencer, with open sleeves, and generally of rich embroidered velvet, ana a common petticoat, complete the costume of the fair Smyrniote. The Jewesses were seldom seen in public : however, more of their tribe anon. Mingled with all these Oriental costumes, bonnets and shawls are now nearly as common as in London or Paris ; and I even had one or two passing glances at the mysterious and fluttering faldette' of Calypso% isle. To this list must be added the swarthy and thick lipped beauties of Ethiopia; and a more varied col lection of these Houris could nowhere be found, or be deemed more worthy of the zenana of the blessed Prophet in his seventh and highest heaven."

The Journal des Pyrenees of the 12th inst. has the following :—" The Barcelona Journals, on the faith of some French Papers. which consider it exceedingly patriotic to ac cuse their own Government and undertake the defence of a foreign Power, declare that bands are being organised on our frontiers, is order to pass into the Peninsula, and renew the events of September. We declare that our frontier is per fectly quiet, and that all the assertions of those Papers, whe ther French or Spanish, are totally unfounded. It. is true that some refuves arrive here, but they are for the most par t furnished with passports en regle. After appearing before their Consul to take the prescribed oath, they enter peaceably into their country. The French authorities exercise the strictest surveillance, and all persons who are found without papers are sent back to the depots which they had clandestinell pitted." FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. The Memorial of Pau states that rumours still prevail on the Spanish frontier of an invasion of Spain by the refugees, sup ported by a French army ; and that emissaries from the Go vernment of Madrid have been sent to the frontier, and even to Bayonne, Ustarils, and St. Jean de Lug, to watch these sup posed movements. The Constitutionnel quotes a letter from Macao, dated 10th October, and written by a French Officer, which describes the resistance of the Chinese as much more courageous and obsti nate than it is stated to have been by the English journals, and the fatigues and privations of the English troops es almost be yond belief. There were, says the letter, several English ves sels at Macao unable to complete their cargoes ; but the Ame ricans had contrived to smuggle on board a large quantity of tea, and were generally turning to their own profit the dispute between the Chinese and the English. Very few French trading-vessels were on the coast of China, which the writer regrets, as he says that they might have profited by . the war be. tween China and England, as well as the Americans. Two. French ships of war were expected to arrive at Macao towards the middle of November. A letter from France, dated Ist inst., in the Augsburg Ga zette, says : A sanguinary scene has lately been enacted on the frontier of Montenegro, in the direction of the Herzegodine. A troop of Turks made a sudden inroad upon the territory of Gralsow, which is considered as neutral, and is inhabited b' Christians. They decapitated seven shepherds, au d carried off forty other inhabitants, !with numerous head of cattle. Re prisals are expected to be made by the Montenegrins. Prince Vasevich, the English Vice-Consul at Modi Bazar, is not only confined there, but, in consequence of orders from. Constanti nople, is treated with increased severity. Prince Mavrocordato, says a letter from Athens, embarked on the 23d ult. for C onstantinople, to assume his functions as Ambassador to the Porte. The Gazette de France has a letter to the Editor, signed by Professors Recamier and Cruveilher, and inclosing a com munication made to them by Dr. Delaunay, on his return from a tour in Germany, where he had the honour of visiting the Duke of Bordeaux. Dr. Delaunay states that the Prince de sired him to convince himself, as a medical man, of the real state of the fractured thigh, and to communicate the result of his examination to the above mentioned professors. He ac cordingly proceeded to comply with the Prince's desire, and says, that " net only is the consolidation perfect, but that (a very suprising thing in fractures of this kind) this consolida. tion has been effected without the slightest shortening of the limb, and without the foot being in the least turned outwards. On the 21st of February, when this examination took place, the Prince was able to walk, leaning slightly on the arm of an other person, and scmetimea without any support ; and the only remaining effect of the accident was a little weakness and stiffness in the joint, the inevitable consequence Of the long state of rest, which was necessary, and which will soon be re moved by exercise and the use of mineral waters; ~'~.. The ice of the. Danube, says a letter from Vienna broke up suddenly in the night of the 3rd inst. Two arches o the bridge of the Emperor Ferdinand's Rail-road, and four arches of that at Taborr were carried away by the floating blocks; but this was the only damage done. The rioters arrested at Chauriat, near Clermont, as engaged in the unlawful and violent opposition to the census, have undergone their trial before the Court of Assizes for the Puy-de-Dome. The number arraigned was 30, of whom 10 were acquitted, and 20 convicted of different degrees of offence. Of these four, one of whom was a woman , were sen t enced to hard labour at th e hulks for from eight to six years, nine to close confinement for from eight to five years, five to simple imprison ment for from thine to one year, and one, by default, to hard labour at the hulks for ten years. After these were disposed of, the Court, on the requisition of the . Advocate-G eneral, pro.. nounced sentence on seven who were involved in the riots at Clermont, against whom judgment had been pronounced in de fault, viz.—one to death, one to hard labour at the hulks for life, and the rest to close confinement for from ten to six years. The Journal du Havre states that, on Wednesday afternoon, an English schooner, dismasted, was seen anchored of the Heve, after the storm had a little subsided, making signals of distress. It was thought best in Havre to send out_a steamer to tow the vessel in ; but no company would allow a steam-towing vessel to go out, unless the risk of loss was covered by a subscripti on . Eight companies and seven commercial houses immediately subscribed for the risk of 400,000 f., and the steamer Aleide being despatched, succeeded in getting the vessel into port, with all hands and cargo safe.. She proved to be the Vixen, of Hull, laden with linen, yarn., and steel. The captain, finding the storm so violent, and not being sure of being able to make Havre, had determined to ride the gale out on his anchor, and had cut away his musts, in order to be the more secure, at the same time makingAgnals of distress. The captain has published a letter in the Havre papers, expressing his gratitude for the timely assistance th us even. THEATRICAL LAW IN ITALY. [We take the following from a late number of a French print. Some of our English actors, who are fond of indulging themselves in fulminations Against " managerial tyranny," will perceive that, if this rar vative be authentic, " we order things better." in Eng land, even in matters connected with theatrical law, than one, at least, of our continental neighbours.] Mademoiselle Hallez, a distinguished French canta trice, at present attached to the Opera in Naples, was announced one evening lately to sing at a benefit. Being seized with a sudden hoarseness oit. the morn ing of her expected performance, she hastened to ap prise the manager of her inability to appear that even ing. The physician in attendance at the theatre was immediately despatched to the fair invalid to ascertain and retort upon the nature of her illness. On returning from h's official visit, the medical functionary reported that though free from actual fever, Mademoiselle was suffering under a severe soreness in the throat. Now the regulations of the Neapolitan theatres declare that, the case .of fever alone excepted, an actor can be excused from performance on no plea or pretence whatsoever. Accordingly, Mademoiselle Hallez re ceived a peremptory mandate to be ready for her part in the representation of the evening. At eight o'clock she repaired to her post, and the performance commenced. But the result was as might have been anticipated—the lady was scarcely able to get through her first air, and in a style quite inferior to her usual sweetness and power. The audience-room showed signs of discontent, ominous sifflets were heard from different parts of Cie theatre, and the storm was threptening to become more grave, when the cantatrice advanced to the front of the stage, and signified by gestures a wish to ex plain. Silence being restored, Mademoiselle, all blushes and agitation, related, with the irgeauous earnestness of truth, the story of her correspordence with the management, and the order she had received to appear, though the severity of her indisposition was perfectly well known.. Unanimous plaudits followed this explanation. Discontent was succeeeded by enthusiasm, angry voices by a shower of bouquets, and the entire audience loudly demanded that the performance should be postponed. Managerial spite or obstinacy was obliged "to succumb to the voice of the'public, and Mademoiselle returned home in triumph. But she had hardly reached her domicile when she was disagreeably inter rupted by 'the arrival of a police commissary, with all the formidable paraphanalia of his, office. This pa ragon of a magistrate, who would appear, from his conduct, to have thought that it formed no part of his duty to soften the rigorous forms of justice, cried out to the four gendarmes by whom he was attended, " Lay hands on the damsel immediately." The "satellites, far from reluctant, seized the trembling prima donna by the wrists, and lost no time in sub stituting handcuff's for her bracelets, and thum-ties for her rings. In this state, and still clothed in her thin theatrical dress, the young lady was dragged to the police-office, and locked up in a narrow and un wholesome cell. Let it not be supposed that, while thus circum stanced, the fair prisoner was permitted to communi cate with her friends, or even to snatch a little re pose after the fatigue and agitation of the even ing. The poor girl was fastened, standing, to a cold damp wall, tied by the neck, her arms and feet, being also chained. In this deplorable condition the, poor Parisian nightingale was left to wait for the ap proach of day. At length, at the joyful hour when macaroni begins to smoke in the streets of Naples, one of the great Court grandees, haying learned the circumstance from public rumour, hastened to wait upon the Minister of the Interior, obtained an order for the liberation of the pi isoner, and she was ac cordingly released from durance. It was almost too late. A cold fever and icy shivering had seized upon the suffering artiste, who was carried to her bed in an all but dying state. The French Journal then proceeds to relate that M. Monte - Jello, the AmbassPdor. from the Tuileries, to the Court of Naples, succeeded in having punish ment inflicted on some of the parties concerned in this atrocity. We question whether, if Naples were more powerful, or France less so, any notice would be taken of the matter. It is clear, however, that our Neapolitan friends have rather curious notions concerning the liberty of persons, at least of cantatrices. MECKLENBURG SCH WERIN. The Schweriner, weekly paper, contains the follow ing proclamation from the young Grand Duke Frederick Franz who has just succeeded to the titles and honours of his deceased father : " We, Frederick Franz, by the grace of God, Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh, Prince of Wenden, Schwerin, and Ratzeburgh, Count of Schwerin, and Lord of the lands of Rostock and Steurgard : To all our faithful nobles, citizens, municipal authorities, servants of the State, both spiritual and temporal, as well as to all our faithful subjects, greeting. We graciously make it known to them that it has pleased Almighty God, by his inscrutable decree, to call away from this earth, to a life of everlasting bliss and peace, our dearly beloved and unforgotten Lord and Father, his Most Serene Highness the Prince and Lord Paul Frederick, Grand Duke of Meek lenburgh, Prince of Wenden, Schwerin, and Ratze burgh, Count of Schwerin, and Lord of the lands of Rostock and S teugard, this morning, at a quarter past five, in the 42d year of his age, and the sixth of his reign. Sorely and heavily hath this blow come upon us. Irreparable will be the loss, both to us and to the whole father land, that he should be thus cut off in the prime of life, before he had ac complished many of the great benefits which he had contemplated for his faithful subjects. Ae cording to the laws and regulations of our house, the lands, power, and authority have descended to us in direct succession, and we therefore graciously make known to all our subjects,servants, and vassals, especially to those immediately in the Grand Duchy, of whatsoever rank and condition they may enjoy, that it behoves them to pay unto us all honour and obedience, as becomes loyal subjects and servants to their liege lord. By these letters we hereby con firm all the Grand-Ducal servants of the Crown and State in their present respective offices and vocations, nor do we demand any renewing of their oath, being convinced of their fidelity to us, their present liege Lord, and Sovereign. By these same letters we also confirm in their present offices all the special com missioners of affairs, and all the colle?iate, and other offices. We are deeply impressed with the import ance of the truth that is comm itt e d t o our c h arge , and will ever continue to do our utmost to ensure the welfare and prosperity of our beloved subjects. May it please the Divine Providence t o ass i s t an d s t an d by us, that we may enjoy the same love and affection which was ever shown to our excellent father, who on his death-bed forcibly impressed upon us th e va l ue and necessity of obtaining this affection, and making the' preservation thereof our chief care and duty. Given in this present year of our reign, at Schwerin, March 7, 1842. " FREDERICK FRANZ. " L. V. LUTZOW." A Government order has also been issued pro claiming a general mourning for the spaces of three months. Another proclamation sets forth that during certain hours, the bells shall be tolled, and that no organs shall be permitted to be played at this period. No ballet-music is to be allowed to be played in any dramatic representation for six weeks, to be dated from the 7th inst. The Court of Assizes of the Sarthe was occupied, on the 11th, 12th, and 13th inst., with the trial of five men, for the robbery and murder of a farmer in easy circumstances, named Gaine, living in the village of La 3lotte, in the commune of Berus. The man was of a feeble intellect, and easily excited. On the 3d June, he went, as usual, to Alencon to market, and, on his return in the evening, found that a robbery had been effected in his house, by moans of an entry made in the roof. A gun, some books, and clothes, a quantity of thread, and a pocket-book containing notes, had been stolen. Every inquiry was instituted to discover the perpetrators, but to no effect. On September 16, Gaine again went to market and returned in the evening about ten o'clock. He was at that hour seen by several persons just as he went in to bar Ms door. In the middle of the night his neighbours heard loud cries for help, but paid little at tention to the circumstances, as he had been frequently known to utter such cries without cause. Some short time after, however, a vivid light was seen to burst from his windows, and on the house being burst into, the un happy owner was found on the bed enveloped in flames, and with evident marks of violence on his person. The flames were put out without much difficulty, and it was then discovered that combustible matterhadbeen heaped round the bed, to procure a more rapid destruction. Several suspicious characters were taken up, and it came to light by the v,oluntary, though unwilling confession of one of them, nan ted Louvard, a liberated convict, that ho, and four oth,ars, had agreed to rob Gaine, con ceiving him to ba a richer man than the y discovered of terwards he really was. Of these men, two, brans and Chambrier, propi)soNd to murder him, to prevent the rob bery being known, to which two others, Gamier and Belland, offered opposition. They entered the house the second time an they had clone the - first, through the roof, and Gaine, having struggled violently, they stunned him by striking- him on the head, and afterwards strangled him. They then escaped, after taking away what money they could find ; but, before doing so. set fire to the bed 00. which they had placed their victim. All this was denied by the other prisoners, but circum stantial evidence c leany p r oved the case against some o f them. G am i er was ac quitted; Bellard and Louvard were found guilty, but with extenuating circumstances, and sentenced to blr,) years' hard labour at the hulks; and brans and ChanaTorier were sentenced to death.
