By order, R. CREED, Secretary. Offices, Euston-station, March 13, 1841. , • ST. JAMES'S THEATRE FRENCH PLAYS. • M. Melesville's most clever and amusing comedic vaude ville, in five acts,.entitled La Fille de Figaro, was produced for !the first time before an English audience, at this theatre, • lash evening, with the most complete success. When pus comedy was originally brought out in Paris, it had a run of upwards of a hundred nights. We are not surprised at this, for La ; Fille de Fiyaro is certainly one of the most lively of modern French plays. Madame Albert sustained the character of the heroine, Aspasie, a revendeuse a la toilette, that is to say; a milliner,. who, from her lively wit, her fas cinating manners, and her talents for intrigue, has acquired the sobriquet of La'Fille, de Figaro. The scene is laid in Paris at the commencement of the Consulate, and when the curtain rises we are introduced to the shop of Aspasie, where . Painela, Louise, Julie, and several others of the employes of Aspasie, are at work. An unknown individual, enveloped in a large cloak, enters, calls Pamela aside, and in a very rays-, terious manner delivers to her a note, charging her to give it to Aspasie. Victor D'Heigny (M. Gaston), a lieutenant of the army of Italy, then enters to purchase a cashmere shawl, and, while he is so doing, Aspasie arrives, and lets him have a superb one on credit, to be paid for when he shall be pro mdted to the rank of captain. Pamela then delivers to her the note, which it appears is from Celene,a young lady, whose mother had prevented Aspasie from committing suicide— had enabled her to start in business in Paris, and had, on her death-bed, commended Celene to her care. The note states that M. St. Reant—a rich army contractor and her guar dian, was determined on marrying her — that lie had endea voured to ruin his younger brother Edouard, to whom she was attached—and that she claimed the protection of ASpasie, in whose house she intended to take refuge. Shortly afterwards St. Want (M. Barqui), the vefry beau ideal of a rich and vulgar fop, arrives and in sists on searching the house for Celene. Whilst he is making hie search Celene arrives, and, by the ingenuity of Aspasie, manages to elude him. The second act takeS place in the barrack-rooln of a cavalry regiment. Edouard (M. Bazin) sits, in a melancholy'mood, apart front his brother officers, who are carousing. .Aspasie enters; they all .. greet her nd insist on her singing a Sp.nhfl song. She theii - g7v - eir a note from Celene, appointing a meeting for the evening; but, alas! the officers are all under orders not to quit their barracks. The indefatigable Aspasie, however, by the timely present of a cap to the Colonel's wife, procures for Edouard leave of absence for two hours. While she has left the room on this mission, Madame Duperron (Madame Couturier), the wife of the sous-directeur a la guerre, and the lady for whom Victor had purchased the cachemere, enters, but hearing As pasie approaching on her return, she is obliged to hide her self in Victor's chamber. Aspisie arrives with the leave, and is immediately followed by Pamela, who states that M. St. Reant has discovered Celene, has taken her away, and has, as her guardian, declared that unless Edouard obtains his promotion to a captaincy before night, and as a captain claims her hand, he will marry her himself. Aspasie bids her not despair, for she, La Fille de Figaro, will procure for him his commission and his bride before night. The trumpet, which announces, that the adjutant is on his rounds of inspection, is heard, and As pasie and Pamela arc hurried into different rooms, and, while the adjutant is inspecting the troops, Aspasie, Pamela, and Madame Duperron, all veiled, are very adroitly conducted td the door, not however until Aspasie has recognisd the cachemere. The third act takes plaee in the cabinet of Duperron (M. Cartigny), the sous-directeur ala guerre. St. Want calls on him, and urges him by no means to con sent to recommend Edouard for promotion, while Duperron, a weak-minded, self-sufficient old man (admirably acted by M. Cartigny), always forming irrevocable resolutions only to break them, promises to conform to St. Reant's desires. When St. Reant leaves • him, Aspasie enters, and at once tells him that he must recommend Edouard for promotion. He says that the only vacant captain's commission had been promised, through the inte rest of a high and powerful lady, to Victor, and that lie must keep his promise. The stranger, who had brought the note to Aspasie, now enters in the same mysterious manner, and iinplores protection from his pursuers. Duperron, who enters into the joke.of a man escaping from bailiffs, gives the stranger his own dress and his wig and hat, and thus dis guised he escapes. As soon as he is gone Duperron asks Aspasie who he is. " George Cadoudal," is the reply— " and if he is taken it will be found that have lent him even to my very wig," exclaims the old man in an agony of terror. " I will save you if I have the commission," says Aspasie, and Duperron sits down to prepare the neces slary documents, when his wife enters, and insists that the Commission shall be given to Victor. Duperron is called away to the Minister at War, and the ladies are left alone. " Quit the room," exclaims Madame. " Not until I have the com mission, Madame," answers Aspasie, " and have it through your interest. M. Victor bought the cachmere you wear at my shop this morning. Three women, veiled, left the bar racks this afternoon—l was one of them, and a lady who wore the caehmere was another. Now shall I have the commis sion ?" At this juncture Duperron returns, and announcing that the Minister had informed him that Cadoudal had been taken in the morning, and that lie was out of the power of Aspasie, sits down to fill up the commission, but, to the surprise of the old man, his wife now insists on the commission being given to Edouard, and Aspasie goes off in triumph. The fourth act introduces us to the boudoir of Josephine, in the Tuileries. Aspasie manages to introduce herself here, and by her address and tact induces Josephine to promise her inte rest in Edouard's behalf with the First Consul. Acting on the superstition of Josephine with regard to the future, Aspasie undertakes to tell her fortune. They are inter rupted by the announcement of the arrival of the Emperor. " Ali ! if he should find you here," ex claims Josephine. "La Fille de Figaro is prepared for every emergency," answers Aspasie, and, closing the doors for an instant, she throws off her female costume, and appears attired as a young cavalry officer. Taking a letter from the hand of Josephine, "Room for the bearer of dis patches for the First Consul," exclaims Aspasie, and the guards salute her as she struts out. The scene of the fifth act is laid in the gardens of the Hotel St. Rant, which are illuminated for a fete given by the owner in honour of his ap proaching nuptials. Maskers are seen parading the grounds ; Duperron is among . them ' and having heard that Cadoudal was still at large, is full of fears. The Marchioness of Miremont is announced, and Saint Remit starts. Aspasie enters masked, and demands a few minutes' conversa tion with him ; at first, he treats the matter as a joke, but hearing the name of a certain Father Dominic, he becomes alarmed and grants her the interview. She at once tells him that he cannot marry Celene, as he has a wife already living whom he had deserted, and driven to attempt suicide. ".Oh, that was a sham marriage," exclaims St Want. " What if, thanks to the care of Dominic, it should prove a real one," replies Aspasie, " and what if I have the evidence of it in my possession at this moment, which shall only be given up to you when your brother is married to Celene ?" Reluctantly he consents, and in the presence of the company states his willingness to give Celene to Edouard, but adds, that unfor tunately the condition required by the First Consul has not ' been complied with, as Ldnuard is not a captain. Madame Dnperron presents him with the commission. He publicly joins their hands, and then the espiegle Aspasie delivers up the certificate, the more willingly she says, as there is no thing in it to compromise him. It is too late to recal his consent, and he is almost suffocated with rage and disappointment, when Duperron enters, dragging in the supposed George Cadou dal attired in his own coat, hat, and wig ; but this is only an other trick of Aspasie. The supposed George was a gentle man well known to all present, who was actually escaping from bailiffs at the time that Duperron aided him. Nothing could exceed the admirable manner in which Madame Albert sustained this . character; her transitions from grave to gay and from gay to grave, were very frequent, and always appro palate, and we scarcely know which to admire the most—her delightful light-heartedness and fascinating gaiety,_ or her exquisitely touching pathos ; both were beautiful exceedingly, and La Fille de Figaro is one of the greatest triumphs which even this accomplished artiste ever achieved. She was called for at the fall of the curtain, and received with most rapturous applause. The house was exceedingly well attended, all the elite of the beau monde being present. • JY AUTHORITY of his MAJESTY the EMPEROR of AUSTRIA.

'We return to the debate of Friday, the subject of which was continued last evening, and brought, for the time at least, to a very unexpe c ted but welcome conclusion. Lord Ashley's speech cannot fail to .produce everywhere the same deep and even glbomy impression which it evidently did produce in the House. It exhibits a vast and apparently incurable state of wretchedness in the very heart of this great and wealth) , country. It cannot be refuted. It is truth all over. The details are true ; the style is unaffected ; the tone is even, deep, and broad ; the convictions of the speaker are sincere, his object disinterested, and his prin ciples beyond dispute. Notwithstanding the unavoidable length of . the speech, and the multiplicity of its parts, the reader is carried forwards by a kind of mournful curiosity through a succession of miseries, all so closely and yet so naturally arranged, as to preclude relief to the eye, and almost hope to the mind. He sits down from the perusal with spirits prostrated and nerves paralyzed. He' has re ceived a tremendous blow, and is stunned. Fora time he cannot get over it, and has not his wits about him. At last he revives and reflects. Even Sir James Graham, proof as he npust be against all kinds of rhetorical battery, is staggered. He replies as if from a mere dogged adherence to the plan of his Bill. He sticks to it as a kind of refuge. He cannot be eloquent, as if his position may perhaps be right, but is rather anti-heroic. The succeeding speakers have had time to recover, and show greater fullness, freedom, and argument. But yet all, even Mr. Bright, betray an impression most creditable to Lord Ashley, and deeply responsive to the truths and duties he has declared. But the blow, great as it is, does not wholly and utterly destroy recollection, and stupify the senses. As soon as one recovers enough to bring the speech to a test, much is found in it that the Judgment cannot approve. In the firstplace, lon as the speech is, there is one capital omission, thus briefly recognised : " It is not my intention to enter into the commercial argu ment of the question. I hold that which is morally wrong never can be politically right ; and, therefore, I will put the question on the grounds on which I have always endeavoured to put it—theSe of.justice and humanity.,—saidAsilima-3said, physical welfare of a large portion of our countrymen." Now, what does this really come to ? What is meant by " the commercial argument of the question," and treating the question " on the grounds of justice and humanity ?" At first, it sounds rather grand, for " commercial arguments" are something very mundane, and " justice and humanity" very celestial. But the basest and vilest things are often necessary to the highest ; and the same mysterious law of Providence which makes meat and drink necessary to a hero, the kitchen to the dining-room, the factory to Almack's, and the labourer to the Lord, does also establish a link, which Lord Ashley can neither break nor disregard, between com mercial arguments and grounds of justice and humanity. You must first put your hands into your pockets, and have previously filled those pockets in somehonest way, before you can play the benefactor, either on a private or a public scale. We must stoop to be reasonable, and condescend to work. Providence has implanted in us heavenly instincts, but made us men. The most important question just now is—not the question of fact, which, after ten years' continual exposure, is by this time known to all men, and, we maintain, should forth with be acted upon without a month's further delay ; but— the question of ways and means. It is proposed to reduce by nearly one-sixth the working time of nearly the whole amount of labour—some people say it virtually involves the whole—at the command of the manufacturer. He replies, that such a reduction will ruin him, and his workmen too, for of course they hang together. They just go on as it is; and even one hour's less working power will stop the whole machine. Now, we cannot go the length of Mr. Senior's cal culation on the subject, which, like some other of that gen tleman's theories, requires a large accommodation to practice. But we do say, that we wish we could be sure that the ten hours' time involved only a reduction to ten hours' wages. The operative is associated with a mighty coadjutor —the mill—whose wages cannot be lowered to a ten hours' time, and for whose fatal obstinacy the living agent must make up, besides the reduction on his own account. There are, happily, some qualifying considerations—such as that ten hours' human labour is worth much more proportionably than twelve, and that such a restriction will have a tendency to equalise supply and demand; but the broad facts of the case are as we have stated them ; and we cannot refuse the testi mony of those most conversant with the subject, confirmed as it is YtlYejommon sense of all men. At least it is a ques tion, and a very necessary one. There remains, too, another and equally necessary question—how is that loss to be met ? that ruin to be provided against ? But what does Lord Ashley say ?—" Gentlemen,—l am going to prove an immense amount of misery. The master manufac turers are working their people beyond the limits of human endurance. I propose to stop them. 'lt is not my inten tion to enter into the commercial argument of the question.' I shall not inquire what loss my measure will entail on the employers—whether it will close their mills, and bring the whole population to most horrible wretchedness, starvation, and death; nor shall I inquire whether the class to which I belong has had any hand in producing this state of things— whether we can make any sacrifices to mend what may be partly our fault, and whether the nation can or ought to help the millowner. I hold that which is morally wrong never can be politically right ; and therefore I will put the ques tion on the grounds of justice and humanity,' ' &c. Why, what sort of justice and humanity is this? Lord Ashley need not have been ashamed to confess him self not quite up to the commercial argument. All men have their lines, and this is not his. But we will tell him what he might have done. He might have said—" I will leave to others the commercial argument, and if they make out tolerably to my satisfaction that the present is really a question between over-working and death—that my ten hours' time is not practicable, unless the landowner not only talks, but puts his shoulder to the wheel—and that it will cause such a reduction of profits as must be met in some way or other by the nation at large—then I, for one, am quite prepared to abide the result of the inquiry, and recommend to Parliament some relaxation of the burdens which pecu liarly affect manufacture. That which is morally right can not be politically wrong; and I will accordingly stand all the consequences of an act which is incumbent on the broad grounds of justice and humanity." There would have been nothing grovelling, or commercial, or inconsistent with the highest regard for justice and humanity in such a declara tion. The absence of it is not a little calculated to damage his cause. Another deficiency in the speech is one, perhaps, not so much in Lord Ashley's power to amend. The black cata lohrue of miserable facts which he recites is not a catalogue raisonnge, but an auctioneer's list—a mere column of acci dents and offences. We allow that he has evidently used not only all the diligence and research, but almost all the penetration and judgment possible to one in his position. One can see that where he has alleged facts by fives, he has rejected them by fifties. and has been conscientiously and nervously careful not to be misled by partial or hasty in formants. But this has not proved sufficient, as anybody internally acquainted with the manufacturing system would see, or rather feel, in a moment. He tells facts, important facts, picked facts ; but even when a man is telling facts, and that truly, it is always possible for those actually initiated in the subject to say whether he knows them experimentally or only second hand. There is a way of describing things pecu liar to those who live in them, and which cannot be bor rowed by one who is forced to "get up" the subject. The speech as a whole, is erroneous and unfair just as Martin's black, or red, or blue paintings are erroneous and unfair, if meant for representations of nature. His narrative is all one and the same; but the actual state of the case endlessly varied and involved. There is the greatest actual difference between millowner and millowner, town and town. Some masters bestow an attention to the comfort and improvement of their people which and land owner in England might do well to copy. Some mills are worked by picked men, women, and children ; and others by refuse and riff-raff. Some persons, and even populations, are intrinsically and incurably corrupt and reckless, and would be so anywhere, whether in or out of a mill. Some parents will neglect their children ; some operatives will save money, others will not. But it is useless to go on. Every one who has lived in a manufacturing town knows that it affords as great reliefs and exceptions as any other state of society. Again, who would guess from the speech that all and almost every one of the inmates of this house of bondage had, in fact, taken refuge in factories from a still lower hell—an inadequately employed agricul tural population ? If things are bad in Lancashire, they must be wore elsewhere ; for we may de pend on it all these hundreds of thousands have not jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. The most wretched of the manufacturing class, and those who have doubtless fur nished most matter to this tale of woe, are the Irish immi grants. Parts of England also have sent there a quota not much better. A brief personal history of every individual alluded to by Lord Ashley would in most cases greatly exonerate the factory from the charges of corruption and oppression, and throw them back on the rural districts. We are sorry to recur to the " commercial argument," but it is impossible to legislate fairly • and wisely on this subject - without taking a comprehensive view of the state of British labour and its existing relations to wealth. Thus, the over-working of the operative is only another form of the same evil as the under-paying of the labourer. If it were possible to cultivate our fields with steam and light them with gas, we should soon have to ask a Short.. time Bill for the c ountry a s well as for the town. Nature times the labourer, so he is pinched in his pay. The old poor law was a sufficient pay act for the labourer. Mr. Senior, or any other out-and-out political economist, would tell us at once, that it and the Ten Hours' Bill stand on the same footing. The nation no longer interferes between the farmei and his labourer to protect the latter. The result is, that rents have risen and wages fallen.. Yet persons acquiesce in that cessation of interference, and profit by it, who are now for interfering between the mill-occupier and his operative, to the almost certain loss of the former. . Can any legislation be just and permanent which is not consistent and compre hensive? But w e are eforced to point out the deficiences of Lord Ashley'sspeech,what must be said of Sir James Gra ham's ? The commercial argument omitted in the former is the substance of the latter. The two speakers pursue lines so wholly distinct, and yet severally so true, that they may run on in parallel directions for ever, without a chance of meeting. Lord Ashley aims at a legislative maximum of la bour, Sir James Graham a minimum of profit. Humanity without political prudence, and prudence without humanity ! Is there no middle term ? Is it impossible to be just as well as generous? Of the two, we prefer a humanity, which acts blindly perhaps at first, but feels its way to a happy result. With Sir James we can have no sympathy. Even with truth in his mouth, he drives us to the other side. His former con federates and his present confederates alike deter us. When and see him supported by Mr. M. we listen to his arguments , Gibson and Mr. Bright, the mind seems to waver between sight and memory, and we doubt whether the scene before us is not merely a vision of the past.—Times. WILSON'S SCOTTISH ENTERTAINMENTS.

We have, therefore, no alternative but to declare publicly, what we informed them privately, that almost every state ment is " grossly incorrect." We take this opportunity of giving accounts of the latest boni fide wholesale sales of each Ale, as veri fied by the various prices current, and have only to refer partie to those connected with India for a confirmation of these facts.

Out of the lot enumerated above, we may select Pharaoh, Vakeel, Red Deer, and Tacita, as the most prominently in demand. The first was backed rather freely at one tune, at 14 and 15 to 1; Vakeel for a considerable amount, at 30 and 33 to 1; and afterwards at an improvement of several points. The other two and the Prior, if not speculated upon to any great extent, had supporters enough to raise them to a premium on last week's prices. Pagan was not in demand, and a strong opposition agst Sir Robert drove him back to 20 to 1, a fall of six points on the last quotation. 1,000 to 25 each was laid apt Everton and General Pollock.

Osborne's Mount Charles 50 to 1 agst Sir G. Heathcote's Campunero 66 to 1 agst Lord Westminster's Lancet 1000 to 1 agst Sir G. Heatheote's Akbar—taken. 1000 to 1 agst Mr. Peek's Corodino , 500 even between King of the Gipsies and Apprentice. The betting against the two favourites, until late in the day, made it difficult to say which had the call; 300 to 100 was laid against them jointly, 675 to 100 twice, 13 to 2, and in one instance 7 to 1 in tithes against Rattan; no definite offers being made either in favour of or against The Ugly Buck ; towards the close, however, his friends `k came out" a little, and it becaihe evident that he was again in the ascen dant ; 13 to 2 was taken to 100/4 and 11 to 10 laid on him for choice—with this bet the business as it regarded them was brought to a close. Orlando was supported with much spirit at 15 and 16 to 1, and. the Sister to Grey Momus colt eagerly at 40 to 1, as long as it could be got ; the other movements were imtnaterial. The appearance of the Sister to Grey Momus colt amongst the favourites has occasioned a good deal of discussion as to the right of the parties who backed Scott's lot prior to the publication of his name as a member of it, to include him in their bets. A question of the same kind was raised with regard to Seaport in September last, and dropped, we believe, with a general understanding, that although he had been some months at Stockbridge, the bets laid against John Day's lot should comprehend only such horses as were specified by name in the list published in June. The present question is. precisely the same, and in the opinion of the majority of those spoken to on the subject ought to be disposed of in the same way. OAKS. • 1000 to 100 agst Forth's lot—taken.

PRICE sd. F HISTORY OF TEN YEARS. Part It Chapman and Hall, London, 1844. The first part of this work, commencing with the restoration of the Bourbons in France, and terminating with their expulsion in 1830, was noticed some months since in The Sun. The, present part carries on the history from the July Revolution, when Louis Phi lippe was called to the throne, down to the death of Casimir Perier, and though leaning somewhat to the anti-monarchial side of the question, is, on the whole, penned in a singularly moderate and dispassionate spirit. The author, M. Louis Blanc, is evidently one who has been let behind the scenes of political in trigue, and we do not wonder, therefore, at the in terest which his history has excited in Paris. His details respecting the trial of the Polignac Ministry for treason against the country, and of the curious, underhand shifts had recourse to by the King—not so much from motives of 'humanity as of self-interest—to save the lives of the criminals, are full of interest; and not less entertaining are his graphic deicriptions of the rage and desperation of the Parisian populace during the progress of these important trials, and of• their abortive attempts at getting up an in surrection when the decision of the Chamber of Peers was made known to them. Our author, it is clear, has no great affection for Louis Philippe, and the statements he makes respecting his treatment -of that well-meaning but vain, silly old man, Lafayette, and his friend Laffitte, impress us with no very exalted idea of the manliness and plain-dealing of the King of the Barricades, whose policy has always had much of Macchiavellanism in its character. There is much truth and shrewdness in this remark, with which M. Blanc closes his account of the Court intrigues by which Lafayette, who had raised the Duke of Or leans to the throne, was deprived of the command of the National Guard of France :—" Lafayette's ser vices were too well-known to be forgiven. Such is the vice of monarchies, that if one serves them in a strikingly conspicuous manner, one menaces them. The reproach of ingratitude is idle when addressed personally to kings, and it is to the principle of Royalty itself it should be addressed. Any king who should prove himself grateful to a subject, an illus ' trious citizen, would thereby place the throne in a subaltern position." The particulars respecting the Polish insurrection, and the spirit in which the intel ligence was received in Paris, forms a striking episode in our author's history ; but we prefer quoting his able character of Casimer Perier, the first Premier er the Revolution of July:— " Such was the end of Casimir P6rier. He had viewed in society, not men to direct, but enemies to destroy ; for he was 'a Minister of strong hatreds and narrow views ; of a- vigorous and yet morbid soul. A man in business, a banker, he desired peace ; but the powers desired it also, and the more eagerly, that they saw the genius of revolutions all ready to follow the march of armies. This, however, Casimir P6rier did not under . stand : his own fears prevented him from profiting by the fears of others, and he compelled France to submit to the conditions imposed by European repose, at a time when he might have dictated instead of receiving condi- tions, as was thoroughly proved by the affair of An cona, which went off with such impunity, an affair in which he engaged with an energy of will, that was not to be subdued by the decided opinion of MM. Sebas tiani and de Rigny, nor even by that of the King him self. Unfortunately, the expedition of Ancona infringed upon the principles of policy which had been hitherto acted upon, in an abrupt way, and upon an inadequate occasion. The results of this policy had been the occu pation of Warsaw by the Russians, the first entry of the Austrians into Bologna, the annihilation of our in fluence in Belgium, the abasement of France, weakness throughout the civilised world. The living strength that had been awakened by the Revolution of 1830 began audibly to murmur at all this, to manifest impatience for a change. It would have been easy to appease and satisfy them by at once setting about the vast social re forms required by a State, the prey to all the disorders of irregular competition ; but Casimir P6rier was pow erful, was rich, and the necessity for change did not present itself to him. Besides, even had he posseised the disinterestedness of a true reformer, he had not the peculiar knowledge and boldness which the task de mands ; his was not the genius of reform ; it was his destiny to crush under foot the power which he was in capable of disciplining, and directing onwards to a great aim. This, at least, was what he essayed to do, amidst the applausive shouts of the bourgeoisie; and certainly no man was better fitted than he for this work of hate. Strife suited his temperament, and superseded the ne cessity of his having ideas. For the rest, his policy which in the first instance was entirely a matter of egotism, became in the end sincere, in becoming fanati cal, and he applied to its defence an ardour which sometimes really assumed the appearance of heroism. But the civilisation of manners refused his violent spirit its weapons ; the scaffolding was wanting. Casimir Perier rendered himself the object of much hatred and very little fear." LITERATVitiI, ETHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY. At the meeting on Wednesday, Sir James Clark, Bart., M.D., and Messrs. G. Dressler, H. S. Cuming, James Tounere, and T. T. Spicer were elected members. After announcing the donations since the last meeting, which were very numerous, the Secretary proceeded to read the paper for the evening—" On the Yamal and Goklan tribes of Turkomania, by the Baron Clement Augustus de Bode," the fruits of his personal observations of this most interesting but im perfectly known people. The Goklans inhabit the country to the west of the Alburs, and the Yamfids to the west of the Goklans, up to the eastern shores of the Caspian Sea. Of the former, there were some years ago 12,000 families, but they are greatly thinned; of the latter, there are now between 40,000 and 50,000 families. The Goklans asribe their origin to two brothers, while the Yamfids are said to be the de scendants of four brothers. They follow the creed of Mahommed, possess corn-fields, rice plantations, and vegetable gardens, and visit the bazaars of Asterabad to exchange the fruits of their industry, not only in this respect, but in goods they manufacture, such as felt and woven carpets, as well as sheep and horses from the live stock they rear, for the silks of Anezane and the cottons of Khorassan. "Of the Turkoman character," the Baron " regrets that he could find but very few redeeming qualities to palliate the evil propensities of their nature." The Turkomans ob serve a difference in their children by Turkoman mothers, and by the Persians, whom they capture, and the Kasakhs, whom they purchase from the Uzbecks of Khiva. They of the pure race enjoy privileges of which the half-breds are deprived. For instance, they are obliged to choose wives from among themselves, or from the Persians and Kasakhs. The Turkomans are Mongolian featured, by no means ill-looking, and a large proportion of the younger of the female community are considered by the Baron " as fair specimens of pretty women." Ihe lads marry at fourteen and fifteen, and the girls at ten and twelve, but they are maintained by their parents for many years afterwards. The greatest respect the Turkomans can pay to the dead is to bury the body immediately. Among the Yardids there are individuals who possess upwards of 1,500 sheep, 200 camels, 30 mares, and as many captive human beings. They are great horse-racers and chess players. The President, in adjourning the meeting to the 10th of April, when a paper by Captain T. Postarus, " On the Biluches of Sinde,' is the sub ject, read the following extract from the Journal des Debats of March 8, as an interesting feature in the progress of ethnology in France :—" M. le Prince de Joinville lately gave a private audience to the Council of the Ethnological Society, composed of Messrs. Milne, Edwards, Charles Lenormant, D'Avezac, Imbert des Motelettes, and Gustave d'Eichthal. The Prince conversed with them on the means necessary to be pursued in order to collect from all quarters of the globe materials for the study of the various races of mankind; and dec i lared his ix tention of affording his active assistance n furtherance of the objects of the Sciety." . The sub j ect of the Baron's paper just now is particularly interesting, as it makes us acquainted with the people with whom Dr. Wolff will have to deal in his perilous undertaking in search of Col. Stoddart and Capt. Conolly. • HIGHLANDERS IN INDIA. Seldom does the Indian mail arrive without bringing sorrowful tidings to some of us; and we feel ourselves called on, at present, to notice an event which is deeply deplored in this place. This is not the first time we have had to notice our brave townsman, Captain George G. M. Cobban, of her Majesty's 50th regiment of Foot; but we have now the melancholy task of recording his death. He fell in one of the last charges which completed Gen. Grey's brilliant victory at runnier on the 29th Decem ber. While gallantly leading on his company to capture some guns, which were keeping up a most destructive fire, he received a grape shot in the chest, when close to one of those guns ; and his commanding-officer, Lieut.- Colonel Anderson, was severely wounded by the same ball. In the language of a friend (his intimate acquaint ance, Major Petit), it must be some consolation to his relations to know, that, " the service, by the death of Captain Cobban, has lost an excellent officer and a gal lant soldier, and the regiment been deprived of a friend universally and sincerely regretted." His body was carried into camp, and buried the next evening. Among those mentioned with approbation by Sir Hugh Gough, in his dispatch to the Governor-Gefieral, is Lieutenant W. Fraser Tytler (son of Sheriff Tytler), and who is Deputy-Assistant-Quartermaster-eneral ; Major Grant (also a native of this district), the Deputy- Adjutant-General of the army; and Lieutenant Mac donald (son of our late respected townsman, Dr. Mac donald) of the 2d Madras Light Cavalry. From a private letter, we learn that Lieutenant Macdonald behaved with great gallantry. In personalconffict he severely wounded two of the enemy, and slew a third, whose sword he secured as a trophy of his success. He acted as one of the aides-de-camp to Sir Hugh Gough, and had the honour of communicating the result of the battle to the Governor-General, Lord Ellenborough, whom he also conducted to the tent occupied after the victory by Sir Hugh Gough.—lnverness Courier.
