EIGHT LIVES LOST. It is our painful duty again this week to record an event which has thrown several families into the greatest state of affliction, by the death of eight persons, who were drowned yesterday (Wednesday) while sailing in a boat over the ridge of rocks which stretches from Drake's Island to Mount Fdgcuwbe, and which is com monly known by the name of " The Bridges." It is well known the passage over this ridge of rocks is at tended with peril even in fine weather, at certain periods of the tides, but more especially so in tempest and storm. The accident to which we refer, and which, as we have before stated, involved the loss of eight fellow-creatures, took place under the following me lancholy circumstances :—A married female, named Amelia Smart, and who resided at Devonport, hired a boat, under the management of two watermen early in the morning, fur the purpose of proceeding into the Sound to bid farewell to her husband, who was about to leave this port as a seaman on board the Rhadamanthus steamer. She reached her destination in safety, and having had an affectionate interview with him, she bade him adieu, and the watermen then proceeded to the Re sistance troop-ship, one of them having a brother-in-law on board that vessel, and whom he was very desirous to see. While the boat lay alongside the Resistance, an ap plication was made by several of the seamen on board to their commander, for leave to go on shore ; and this favour having been granted to eight of them, they left in the watermen's boat, full of spirits, in anticipation of speedily joining their friends in Devonport ; but, alas ! these fervent hopes were never realised, for, on reaching Drake's Island, while sailing dead before the wind, a heavy sea rolled over the stern of their frail bark (at the time overladened) which swamped her, and she immediately capsized, precipitating the whole of the party into the water, three df 'whoin alone remain to give a statement of the melanchOly catastrophe—two of the seamen and one of the boatmen. One of the bodies (the female) was picked up a short time after the acci dent, and conveyed to Mutton Cove, and another (a youngster named Cummings) was washed on shore, at the island, where a Coroner's in quest will be held on it as soon as the boisterous weather at present prevailing shall have subsided, so as to permit of the safe transit of the Coroner on his melan choly errand. Three out of eleven were providentially saved. The event, when taken in connexion with the melancholy loss of life which occurred within one mile of the island last week, while it cannot but call forth the sympathies of the public for the bereaved, appears to us to demand the recognition of the unsearchable and absolute providence of the Most High. The names of the unfortunate persons who have by this accident met with an untimely end, are—Thomas Mayne, seaman on board her Maje Sty's ship Resistance; Cummings, ditto; Holberton, ditto; Thomas, ditto; Liscornbe, ditto; Atwill, waterman, plying at Mutton Cove; and Amelia Smart, wife of a seaman on board her Majesty's ship Rhadamanthus. An inquest was held by A. Bone, Esq., Coroner, at Devonport, last ;night, on the body of the unfortunate woman, whose body has been brought ashore, and the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death by drown ing."—Plymouth Journal. res. . ei s s a y, busill 0 hut W l ll Is are 1 0 i' d call the: )061 - Wi lb° l( )2i to COURT CIRCULAR.

After dinner the Queen's private band, strengthened by the addition of several eminent performers, attended, under the direction of Mr. Anderson, and performed the following pieces : Overture, Scherzo, Notturno, March, " A Midsummer Night's Dream"—Mendelssohn Bartholdy.

Now, as if by magic, there is a splendid ball-room, 100 feet long, by 45 feet broad, lined with the richest coloured flags, embellished in the neatest, yet elegant style, and having a beautiful floor, where the graceful evolutions on the " light fantastic toe" can be indulged in to the heart's content. Proceed to the end of this room on either side, and under a screen composed of flags festooned with many-coloured bunt ing, and you behold what on Saturday last was more like an uninhabited cellar than anything else, turned into an elegantly furnished and most comfortable ball room. The pillars are covered with ensigns, so twisted round that the colours alternately present themselves to view. Tables are ranged all round, affording a free passage on each side, and others are placed in the centre. The floor is carpeted with canvas. The whole presents a most elegant appearance. Both these elegant apartments require the brilliant uniforms of the distin guished officers of the united services of France and England to complete the picture. WINDSOR, TUURSDAY.—At the royal banque yesterday evening, the Queen had on her right his Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensier and the Lady in Waiting, the Countess of Gainsborough ; and on her left were his Majesty Louis Philippe, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Lord Chan cellor, and the Countess Delawarr. Prince Albert sat opposite to the Queen, having on his right the Viscountess Canning, Monsieur Guizot, Lady Wharncliffe, and Admiral de Mackau ; and on his left the Countess SI Aulaire, the Duke of Buc cleuch, and Lady Charlotte Dundas. This morning the royal party left the Castle for Claremont. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by her Lady in Waiting, arrived soon after ten o'clock, in an open carriage, from Frogmore Lodge. At a quarter before eleven o'clock his Majesty Louis Philippe descended the state staircase with the Queen, followed by Prince Albert, the Duke de Mont pensier, and the'Duchess of Kent. The char-a-bane' presented to her Majesty by the King of the French was at the grand entrance, and the Queen and his Majesty were handed to the front seat by the Earl of Jersey, Master of the Horse, and Lord Charles Wel lesley (Clerk Marshal). Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and his Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensier were handed to the next seat. fioti ° nit Pre „ r e TheY ; the D ire : have bee . and Co lo 4 to 86i; °i v D u t c h TW The again . ects 181 E, etPv`, i ,D en zie, vo 4 lovernolem,,P too coo.- ,ke it Ivy CLOCK. 100 9014 I°°34 °l6'g I . 1 12 1 12 1- 16 1188 THE DUKE DE LA VICTORIA TO HIS COUNTRYMEN. On the 10th of October, 1844, her Majesty Queen Isabel 11. is constitutionally called upon, in con formity with the fundamental law of the monarchy, to begin to govern the kingdom. On this day, dis charging a pledge of loyalty, honour, and conscience, I was to have placed in her Majesty's hands the royal authority which the Cortes, in virtue of their constitutional prerogative, had deposited in mine. His Royal Highness Prince Albert and the Coun tess of Gainsborough, Lady in Waiting, occupied the hird seat. And General Athalin and Count Dumas, in atten dance on his Majesty Louis Philippe, were in the last seat. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklen burgh Strelitz, left Kew yesterday aft ernoon on a visit to her Majesty at 'Windsor Castle, attended by Baron Knesebeck. • From the moment the national will selected me amongst my fellow-citizens to elevate me to the Regency, I looked forward to this day as to the brightest of my public station, when, from the pinnacle of supreme power, I was to have descended to the quietude of domestic life, devoting my last words to the banner of the Constitution which the people had raised to recover their liberties—that glorious banner under which the people had shed their blood, and with which they had, twice during the present age, saved the dynasty of their Sove reigns. Providence, however, has not allowed the accomplishment of my hopes; and instead of speak ing to you surrounded by the splendour of a royal and solemn ceremony, I address you from my exile. It is well known that there never was a more open, free, and general discussion, than that which pre ceded my appointment as Regent; I accepted the trust, not as a mural crown granted to victories, but as a trophy placed by the people on the banner of liberty. A faithful observer of the laws, I never transgressed them ; I neglected nothing tending to the welfare of the country ; every law presented to me by the Cortes, I readily sanctioned—the free action of justice was uncontrolled by the Government, which never usurped the functions of the other public authorities—and the sources of riches and prosperity received all the encouragement and protection which circumstances permitted. If, at any time, in order to maintain the purity of the law, I was compelled to have recourse to strong measures, it was justice, not the government, that decided on the fate of the hap less. I shall not descend to the details of my conduct as Regent—history will do me justice, and I submit to its inflexible judgment. History will say, with that impartiality not easy to be exercised by my contem poraries, whether I ever aspired to anything but the welfare of my country, or was moved by any other thought than that of delivering, on this day, into her Majesty's hands, a nation prosperous within, and re spected abroad. History will show whether, in the midst of the vehement contests of parties, I ever fol lowed any other device but that of saving liberty, the throne, and the laws, from the violence of contending passions. History will also explain the causes which arrested the completion of many useful reforms. When new disturbances were being prepared, I omitted nothing within the compass of the law to counteract them. I shall not look back, nor attempt to depict, the mournful events we must all deplore, and which, leaving me without the means of resistance, compelled me to seek an asylum in this hospitable land, protesting, before hand, in the name of the sanctity of the law, and of the righteousness of the cause. Lord Charles Wellesley (Equerry in Waiting on the King) and Colonel Bouverie (Equerry in Wait ing on Prince Albert) attended on horseback. The char-a-bane, drawn by four horses, imme diately drove off, outriders in scarlet liveries pre ceding. The Duke of Cambridge returned to Kew on Wed nesday night from town. The Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived in town yesterday morning from Beechworth, Surrey. The Earl of Lonsdale, Postmaster-General, and Mr. J. Wood, Chairman of the Board of Excise, had inter views with the Right Hon. Gentleman at his official residence in Downing-street. In the afternoon the Chancellor of the Exchequer left town for Windsor Castle, on a visit to her Majesty. Lord and Lady Wharncliffe returned to town yes terday morning from Windsor Castle. Dispatches were sent off yesterday from the Colo nial-office for the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope. The royal and august party were attended to the grand entrance by the Duke of Buccleuch, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Marquis of Exeter, Earl of Liver pool, Earl Delawarr, Viscount Canning, Viscount Sydney, Lord Byron, Hon. Captain Duncombe, Lord George Lennox, Sir Frederick Stovin, Captain F. Seymour, and Major-General Wemyss. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, were taken their accustomed walks and rides to-day, in the vicinity of the Castle. - - - THE LATE LADY fliarrEsnuay.—The funeral of Lady Heytesbury will be strictly private. Her Lady ship's remains will be conveyed for interment to the family vault at Heytesbury, An Admiralty steamer has arrived to convey the body to BristoL His Excel. lency the Lord-Lieutenant's brother and son will pro ceed by the same conveyance either on Saturday or Monday next. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, attended by Lady Georgiana Bathurst and Baron Knesebeck, arrived at the Castle from Kew in the afternoon, on a visit to the Queen. STAMP AND TAX-OFFICE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.— A general meeting of this Society, which is confined to parties holding permanent employment under the Com missioners of her Majesty's Stamps and Taxes, was held in one of the large rooms of the Stamp and Tax-office, Somerset House, for the election of officers and general business, Joseph Harris, Esq., supervisor and founder, in the chair. The statement of accounts was submitted by Mr. Alexander Roy, the secretary, who, in an appro priate address, congratulated the members on the con tinued prosperity of the society, and its increase both in numbers and amount of capital From correspondence with almost all parties eligible to the society, he had little doubt that ultimately all would avail themselves of its advantages. He referred particularly to a communi cation from John Caird, Esq., Receivinglnspector, Perth, a zealous friend of the cause. Mr. Roy then read ex tracts from Mr. Caird's letters, explainiag the views of that gentleman, and urging the necessity of general sup port to the society. Mr. Ray further drew attention to the list of members printed with the statement of ac counts, and eulogised the kind assistance rendered by many in the higher departments of the Stamp and Tax office, who were anxious that the society's benefits should be rendered available to every person connected with the establishment. Their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz also ar rived from Kew on a visit to her Majesty. The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, and the Speaker of the House of Commons, arrived from town to-day on a visit. His Serene Highness Prince Ernest of llesse Philippsthal arrived at the Castle on a visit to her Majesty. General Rumigni and Count de Chabannes went' out shootinc , this forenoon in the royal preserves. The royal ° and august party in the char-a bane, after leaving Windsor Castle, went through Staines and Sunbury-common to Twickenham, to the house 'formerly occupied by his Majesty when residing in this country, and now in the occupation of the Earl of Mornington. From Twickenham the illustrious party drove through Hampton Court to Claremont, where a dejeune was served to the Queen and Prince Albert, the King of the French, the Duchess of Kent, the Duke de Montpensier, and to the Lady in Waiting, and the gentlemen of the suite. After viewing the royal gardens and the park at Claremont, his Majesty Louis Philippe and the Queen, the Duke de Montpensier and the Duchess of Kent, Prince Albert and the Countess of Gains borough, and General Athalin and Count Dumas, re-entered the char-a-banc, and took their departure, returning by the route of Chertsey to Frogmore Lodge, where the Duchess of Kent alighted. From Frogmore the august party drove to the Castle. On alighting at the grand entrance the Queen and Prince Albert, the King of the French and the Duke de Montpensier, were received by their Royal High nesses the Duke of Cambridge and the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, who had arrived at the Castle a short time previous, and also by the noblemen and gentlemen of the; household in waiting. The Duke of Cambridge and the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz accompanied the Queen and her illustrious guests up the grand staircase. LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY,--We understand that Mr. Cubitt, the engineer of this undertaking, has sanctioned a deviation of the original line which will do away with the objections, on the part of the supporters of the turf, regarding the danger of bringing the line too near the Race Ground. The line will pass east of Rot ford and Bawtq, through Piper Wood, west of Rossing ton, between High and Low Ellers, across the Low Pas ture, between Carr House and Belle Vue, across the turnpike road between Belle Vue and Bennetthorpe, across the Town Feld, near Christ Church, and so on to Docken Hill, &c. The Wakefield branch will commence at the last-named place.—Doncaster Gazette. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—NONE NEED BE SICK ! READ THE FOLLOWING CASE OF CURE BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. —Mrs. Jessie Anderson, living near the Fountain-bridge, Edinburgh, suffered from lowness of spirits, sick head aches, dimness of sight, together with a want of strength and appetite. These symptoms were accompanied with a cough and spitting of phlegm, and likewise much windy spasms. No medicine had been of any service to her, until a lady advised her to try " Holloway's Pills," which gave her immediate relief, and in a fort night made her as well as well -as ever she was in her life. Sold (also Holloway's Ointment) at the Establish ment of Professor Holloway, 244, Strand (where advice may be had gratis), and by almost all respectable vendors of medicine throughout the civilised world. Spaniards—l protested, not urged by any motives of ambition, which I never contemplated, but be cause the dignity of the nation, and of the crown, thus required it at my hands. As the constitutional representative of the throne, I could not silently see the destruction of the monarchical principle ; entrusted with royal authority, I was bound to guard it against every aggression ; invested with executive power, it was my duty to raise my voice when I beheld all the laws trampled under foot. The aim of my protest was to avoid the pernicious precedent of coun tenancing, in the name of the throne, the destruction of the throne itself. It was not a war-cry—it spoke not to passions or parties—it was the plain statement of a fact, the defence of principles, and an appeal to posterity. Removed from you, Spaniards, the slightest complaint in the kingdom has found an echo in my breast—not a single victim has been bereft of my compassion. Dinner was served this evening in St. George's Hall. The royal banquet presented a display of mag nificence and splendour equal to that on the preceding evening. In the middle of the table, opposite to the royal circle, was the " St. George Candelabrum," exhibiting the combat of St. George and the Dragon, forming a most conspicuous and magnificent central ornament, being far superior in size to the other candelabra and epergnes. With this exception, and also that of two of the " Hesperides" candelabra, which were placed near each end of the table, the entire plateau was formed of epergnes, supporting flowers. On both sides of the plateau were a row of candelabra, filled with wax lights, lighting the royal banquet in the most brilliant manner. TH. BOROUGIIDRIDGE MURDER.—APPREHENSION OF THE MURDERERS IN NEWCASTLE.—In a paragraph in another column will be found an account of a heartless murder, committed at Boroughbridge, on the night of Saturday, the 28th ult. The victim was Mr. William Inchbald, of Dunsforth, who was returning home from market ; and the supposed assassin was William Kea drew, a young man, apparently under 30 years of age. From inquiries made, it was ascertained that Kendrew had travelled towards Newcastle, in company with his brother, John Kendrew (or, as he called himself, John Palmer), who is a shoemaker. Information was for warded to this town, and amongst others the police ap plied to Mr. Blakey, shoemaker, Side, in case any per sons answering the description should apply at his shop for employment. The description of the murderer was rather marked. He was dressed in a waistcoat with fustian sleeves, cord trousers, and a kind of brown and green worsted skull cap, with leather peak. Mr. Blakey very promptly and very creditably sent a workman to the Old Robin Hood public-house, where the Shoemakers' Society is held, thinking they would apply there for re lief. About ten minutes after the arrival of the work men the persons appeared, and by some promises they were induced to remain until Mr. Blakey sent policemen to apprehend them. They were safely lodged in gaol, and were yesterday sent in the custody of some of, our policemen, to undergo an examination before the proper authorities at Boroughbridge. John Kendrew is a de serter from the 12th regiment of foot, and formerly worked at Newcastle.— Newcastle Advertiser. The table was also ornamented with the splendid service of gold plate, including wing-coolers and large dishes, all of them of the most elegant forms, and richly chased and sculptured. In front of the west sideboard was placed the head and front paws of the royal tiger couchant, which formerly supported the canopy of the throne of the Sultan of Mysore. The eyes, tusks, and the claws of the figure are of rock crystal ; the rest of the head and paws are covered with platen of pure gold. The vase bears this inscription : " This Trophy was taken at the storming of Se ringapatam IV. May, MDCCXCIX. Richard Earl of Mornington then Governor Gene ral of India. When circumstances may allow me to return to my beloved country, I, as one issued from the people, shall again dwell among the people—unmoved either by rancour or recollections, satisfied with the share which has fallen to my lot in securing public freedom, the enjoyment of its advantages will be my only desire in my private station—but, if the institutions recovered by the Spaniards should be endangered, the nation, to whose call I have ever responded, shall find me ready to offer my life in her support. If Provi dence, however, in its inscrutable decrees, should doom me to die in exile, resigned to my fate, my last and most fervent prayers will be for the inde pendence, the liberty, and the glory of my country. (Signed) EL DUQUE DE LA VICTORIA. London, 10th October, 1844. General Harris commanding the British Forces." TROTTING MATCH FOR TWENTY POUNDS A SIDE. The State Standards of Tippoo Sultan, also cap tured at Seringapatam, were placed over the Tiger's head; and on each side were candelabra filled with wax lights, ornamented with Oriental figures and emblems. —Yesterday the twelve miles trotting match, in harness, between Mr. Haynes's brown gelding and Mr. Oliver's Chesnut mare, cause off over two miles of road on Wim bledon-common. At the start they went away at a slashing pace, and performed the first two miles neck and neck in eight minutes. When they had trotted six miles they were pulled, and having been refreshed they resumed their journey, and when within half a mile of the winning goal the mare was 200 3 ards in advance. She broke into a gallap and was turned. This enabled the gelding to pass her. However, she was quickly at work, and succeeded in passing her opponent, and came in the winner by 150 yards. The twelve miles were trotted in 48 minutes. . _ _ The east sideboard contained a number of large and handsome shields, salvers, urns, vases, statuettes, tan kards, and vases of gold, brilliantly illuminated with candelabra and sconces. ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Last even ing closed the season at this beautiful place of amuse ment, and we congratulate the proprietor on one of the most successful seasons since their establishment. The Fire of London blazed with tenfold grandeur, and Mr. Southby was so surpassing in his farewell, th a t we were induced to wish for another, and another. The exer tions and liberality of the new proprietor are an earnest of what we may expect next season. The subject, we are told, will be one of unusual splendour and interest, and already great alterations in the grounds have com menced. Mr. Ranson leaves London shortly to make drawings for the new subject, which will be immediately put in hand, so as to be able to open at Easter. Mr. Southby visits the Continent for the purposes of his art, and Mr. Godfrey is completing arrangements with foreign composers, so as to secure an early succession of the best musical productions. We may me ntion, that since the Gardens have been under Mr. Tyler's direction, 149 animals and birds have been added to the Zoological Col lection ; among them are two ostriches, alioneess, Thet;vo leopards, a tucan , two ki ng vultures, is.c &c. Model of Venice, the Daylight View of London in the Olden Time, and the Zoological Collection, will continue open for a short time longer. SEIZURE OF A Snir.—On Tuesday last the Nau tilus, of Aberayvon, was seized in Castlotown Harbour, Isle of Man, having on board a quantity of contraband spirits, tea, tobacco, soap, candles, and sugar. The company consisted of his Majesty Louis Phi lippe, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, h's Royal Highness the Duke de hlontpensier, his Serene Highness Prince Ernest of Hesse Philippsthal, the French Ambassador and the Countess de St. Aulaire, the Belgian Minister and Madame Van de Weyer, the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, M. Guizot, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl Delawarr, the Earl and Countess of Jersey, and Lady Clementina Villiers, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl of Lonsdale, the Earl and Countess of Rosalyn, Viscount and Viscountess Canning, Lord Stanley, Lady Charlotte Dundas, the Countess Wratislaw, the Right Hon. the Speaker, the Lady in Waiting on the Duchess of Cambridge, the Right Hon. Sir Robert and Lady Peel, Admiral de Mackau, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Right Honourable G. 1., A thief was caught in a curious trap a few days ago, at Amiens. One of the men belonging to the soap manu factory of M. Frechin heard a noise in the oil vat, for which he could not account, and, therefore, went to a: cer tain the cause. He found a man, who was a stranger to the works, floating in the fatty fluid, and making efforts to get out, which were defeated at every attempt, by his being unable to make his grasp good at any pint, re ceiving at each, by falling back, a new unction. At length, by due assistance, he was got out ; and, as the account he gave of himself showed that he had fallen into the vat in trying to make his way to the strong-box of M. Frechin, the magistrates, justly considering it a slippery trick, not sufficiently punished by his greasy bath, committed him to prison, to which he was con ducted amidst the laughter of a crowd, highly amused at the strange appearance he cut from his oleaginous ducking.—Galiynuni. THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. The return of the quarter's rvetrae has one dis tinguishing feature of a :a:.4 cheering description —an increase in the Customs, compared with the corre sponding period of 1843, on the year, of 1,723,165/., and on the quarter of 4 73,347/. This i s th e true p i vot o f our national prosperity, and is the more gratifying when the bold reductions aro considered which the Minister was encouraged to make when supported by so grand a reserve as the property-tax. Swift's remark, that in the arithmetic of the Customs two and two do not always make four, could not have a more apt and definite appli cation. In this case Sir Robert Peel's subtraction has been turned into addition, and he has proved finance to be his stronghold, whatever errors are to be found in his general system of policy. A trifling decrease in the Excise on the quarter is to be ascribed rather to grow ing habits of temperance in the lower orders than to any diminution of means. It will bear, in fact, no other construction, for activity reigns in almost all the depart ments of trade, and the wages of labour in the manu facturing districts have probably doubled i n amount within the past year. It is consolatory also, and another good omen, to find that the Post-offic:, the great accu mulation of pennys, has advanced 82,000/. on the year, and no less than 40,000/. on the quarter. The property tax, which shows an increase of 106,4131. on the year, and a decrease of 89,193/. on the quarter, may be said to have found its level, and to provoke no remark, except to hope that under circumstances of such promising augury we may soon get rid of it. In the present ac count is to be seen, moreover, the effect of the judicious application of the surplus revenue in paying off defi ciency bills ; only about -2,500,0001. will be wanted to meet the charge on the Consolidated Fund for the quarter just ended. The total increase of the revenue for the year is 1,395,3491., and on the quarter 520,9441. But for the disadvantageous effect of the strange item termed " miscellaneous," which has no proper place in this account, the increase on the year would have been returned at about 2,l6o,oool.—Times. TREATY BETWEEN FRANCE AND MOROCCO. The Toulonnais of the 6th gives the following as being ;he text of the treaty with Morocco, which the Fren c h Government have hitherto ab s t a i ne d from publishing:— " His Majesty the King of the French on one part, and his Majesty the Emperor of Morocco, King of Fez and Sus, on the other, desiring to terminate and regulate the differences which have arisen between France and Morocco, and to establish, conformably to ancient trea ties, the relations of friendship which have for an instant been suspended between the two empires, have named and delegated for their Plcnipotentiaries:—For the King of the French, Antoine-Marie Daniel Dore de Nion, offi cer of the Legion of Honour, Chevalier of the Royal Order of Isabella the Catholic, Chevalier of the First Class of the Grand Ducal Order of Louis of Hesse, and Consul-General and Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty to Morocco ; and Louis-Charles-Elie Decazes, Count Decazes, Duke de Glucksburg, Commander of the Royal Order of the Legion of Honour, Commander of the Royal Order of Danebrog, and of the Royal Order of Charles 111. of Spain, Chamberlain of his Danish Majesty, and Charge d'Affaires of his Majesty the King of the French, to his Majesty the Emperor of Morocco ; and for his Majesty the Emperor of Morocco, King of Fez and Sus, Sid Bouselam Ben Ali; who have agreed upon the following stipulations:— " Art. 1. The troops of Morocco assembled on the frontier of the two empires, or in the vicinity of the said frontier, are to be disbanded. His Majesty the Emperor engages to prevent for the future any assemblage of this nature: Theie shall remain only, under .the conimatid of the Odd of Ouchda, a body of men •vpho are not habitually'to exceed 2,000 ; this number, however may be increased if extraordinary circumstances,: and recog nised as such by the two Governments, should render it I evidently necessary in the common interest. Art. 2. An exemplary chastisement shall be inflicted on the Morocco chiefs who have directed or tolerated acts of aggression committed in time of peace on the territory of Algeria, and against the troops of his Ma jesty the King of the French. The Government of Morocco shall apprise the French Government of the measures which may have been resorted to for the exe cution of the present clause. " Art. 3. His Majesty the Emperor of Morocco en gages anew and in the most formal and absolute manner, neither to give, nor permit to be given, in his States, assistance, succour in arms, ammunition, or any war like object whatever, to any rebel subject, or enemy of France. " Art. 4. Had -Abd-el Kader is placed hors la loi in the whole extent of the empire of Morocco, as well as in Algeria. He shall consequently be pursued a main armee by the French in the territory of Algeria, and by the Moors on the territory of Morocco, until he shall have been expelled and have fallen into the power of one of the two nations. In the event of Abd-el-Kader falling into the power of the French troops, the Government of his Majesty the King of the French engages to treat him with consideration and generosity. In the event of his falling into the power of the troops of Morocco, his Majesty the Emperor of Morocco engages to place him (Finterner) in one of the towns of the western coast of the empire, until the two Governments shall have adopted in concert the measures which may be indis pensable to prevent his being able, under any circum stances, to resume arms, and disturb anew the tranquil. lity of Algeria and Morocco. Art. 5. The delimitation of the frontiers between the possessions of his Majesty the King of the French and those of the Emperor of Morocco remains fixed and agreed upon, conformably to the state of things recog nised by the Government of Morocco at the period of the domination of the Turks in Algeria. The complete and regular execution of this clause shall be the object of a special convention, to be negotiated and concluded on the spot, between the Plenipotentiary designated for that purpose by his Majesty the King of the French and a delegate of the Government of Morocco. hlis Majesty the Emperor of Morocco engages to adopt the necessary measures for this object without delay, and to apprise the French Government of them. " Art. 6. Immediately after the signing of the present convention, hostilities shall cease on both sides. As soon as the stipulations contained in Articles 1,2, 4, and 5, shall have been executed to the satisfaction of the French Government, the French troops shall evacuate the island of Mogadore and the town of Ouchda, and all the pri soners made on either side shall be placed at the disposal of their respective nations. " Art. 7.

(FRost A CORRESPONEENT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The line from Or leans to Vierzon has been adjudged to the Company known as the Paris and Orleans Company, by an ar rangement between them and the rival company. The reduction is only one month below the maximum term of the lease, viz., forty years. For the Bordeaux line there were three competitors, and the prize was carried off by the company of Lau rent, Luzarche, and Mackenzie. The term is 27 years, 278 days ; to date from the completion of the works throughout the whole line to Bordeaux. The law allows six years at least for such completion and delivery by the Government, so that in point of fact the term of the lease is 34 years nearly—a period amply sufficient for the liquidation of the whole capital by the operation of a very moderate sinking fund, without taking into the account the value of the stock, materials, and stores, to he paid for by valuation, and amounting to at least 10,000,000 f. (say 400,0001.) By good management in the hands of practical men, like those at the head of this Company, the line as far as Tours (seventy miles) will be opened in the autumn of next year, and yield an ample, a large return, for that proportion of the capital expended upon it. KNACKERS' CARTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In one of your editions of last week's Sun, you notice the horrible cruelty still existent in the " knackers' yards," and which have been so vividly exposed by Mr. May, of the National Animals' Friend Society. Allow me to make notice of a disgusting and horrible cruelty—namely, that the poor worn-out horses, which are unable for work, and sent to the knacker for the purpose of being killed, should be compelled by the inhuman purchaser to be harnessed in a kna,cker's cart, and draw the ponderous load of one or more carcases through The streets of London. I trust, Sir, the Society will look to this, and, if pos sible, remedy the evil. Many thanks for past favours. —I am, &c., HUMANITY. St. Martin's-lane. THE DISPATCHES AND LETTERS OF LORD NEL SON.—We rejoice to learn that the glorious achievements of England's greatest naval hero are on the eve of being recorded in a manner which will more than compensate us for the failure of the " Nelson Pillar" in Trafalgar square—a memorial altogether unworthy of his fame. We allude to the publication by Mr. Colburn of Nelson's official letters and other correspondence, which is to ap pear in three volumes, uniform with the Dispatches of the Duke of 'Wellington. We feel assured that this announcement will give unqualified and universal satisfaction, particularly when we inform our readers that the undertaking is intrusted to no less skilful a pilot than Sir Harris Nicho las, at whose hands it is sure to receive ample justice, and whose arrangement and compilation toefttehse:imaonpilt:l materials placed at his disposal will doubtless be pronidUce aroofbtielicstions. tive of a more imperishable and ap , p e r d op o r u i than the one to which we have arced United Service Gazette.

This morning, a few minutes before twelve o'clock, the French war steamer Elan came into harbour from Treport, which she left last evening, with dispatches from her Majesty the Queen of the French to her Royal Consort. It will be recollected that this was the vessel that was dispatched by his Majesty Louis Philippe imme diately after his arrival on Tuesday, with letters to the Queen. It appears that they were to announce his having reached the shores of England in safety, and the enthusiastic reception he had met with from the British people. The accounts brought by the Elan state that nothing could equal the delight of the Queen upon perusing his Majesty's letters, and that she expressed her gratification in the most unmeasured terms at the flattering manner in which his Majesty had been re ceived. The dispatches brought by the Elau were imme diately forwarded to his Majesty at Windsor. The gale, which had blown heavy all night, moderated this morning. It yet blows fresh, with occasional squalls. The brigs, however, have their top-gallant masts up. The commencement of the series of the elegant fes tivities took place last evening, when the Lieutenant Governor of Portsmouth, and Commander-in-Chief of the South-Western District, Major-General Sir Hercules Pakenham, entertained the French Admiral, Baron de la Susse, the French officers of the squadron, and 'a select number of naval and military officers at dinner. Theb ests included th e f o ll ow i ng: —Duc d ' Harcourt, Couritd'Harcourt, Admiral Baron de la Susse, Baron de Larencien, Aide-de -Camp ; Captain de Maucroix, Captain Dieudonne, Captain Goubin, Captain Bonet, Lord Yarborough, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Colonel Cardew, Colo ne l T revor, 59th; Hon. S i r F. S tap l eton, Lady Stapleton, Ad m i ral and Mrs. Hy d e P ar k er , C . 8., Lady L ou i sa N oe l, Miss Hyde Parker, Sir James Schoedde, and Mi ss Ch am b erlain. Lady Pakenk am a f terwards gave a soiree d ansante, at which were the above noblemen, gentlemen, and ladies. The following also joined the party:—Sir Thomas and Lady Hastings, the Vice-Chancellor, Hon. Captain Byng, Colonel and Mrs. Barnard, officers of the 59th and 76th Regiments, &c. This evening the naval Commander-in-Chief (Admiral Sir Charles Rowley) entertained at dinner at the Admi ralty House in the dockyard the following company, the gallant Admiral having arrived from Windsor this after noon for the purpose: —Sir Hercules and Lady Paken ham, Rear-Admiral and Mrs. Hyde Parker, Lady Hast ings, the Right Hon. Lord Yarborough, the Right Hon. Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, the Russian Rear-Admiral Putyatin; Colonel Jones, Royal Marines; General, Mrs., and Miss Mercer; Colonel Rowley, Captain Moubray, Captain Martin, Captain Corry, Captain and Mrs. Row ley, Captain and Miss Pakenham, Commander Glanville, Richard Ilaig, Esq., secretary • Lieutenant Prevost, flag lieutenant; Vice-Ad m i ra l le Baron do la Susse; Lieu tenant Renciere, aide-de-camp ; Capitane Goubin, Capi tane Bouet, Lieutenant de Valmont, Lieutenant Dieu donne, Lietitenant de Maucroia, Lieutenant le Comte d'Harcourt. Captain Laurenciue was prevented by indisposition from attending. Mrs. Rowley, the lady of Captain Rowley, the flag captain, had an evening party of the above, and about 150 of the officers of the garrison, of the royal navy, and the civil authorities. The residence of the gallant Port Admiral was bril liantly fitted up for the occasion. The passage leading to the ball-room was covered with crimson cloth, and the ball loom itself was the pattern of neat and simple elegance. There were eight lamps fixed to the sides of the flag festooned walls, around which were garlands of evergreens, decked with dahlias of every colour. B u t the most worthy of notice , and that which attracted ge neralit elicited the admi ra ti on o f the assembly,dis tinguished was a beautiful transparency, n t i e n r g a u l sh e attention, ex hibiting in the brightest relief a rare combination of the .choicest dahlia flowers, from the garden of Sir C. Rowley. It was about six feet long, by four feet wide. On the top was a semi-circle, formed by rows of these elegant flowers—first row, red ; second, yellow ; and another deep strong purple. This came down to a straight border, whole length, of single white dahlias, with a ro sette in each corner. Then in the centre were tastefully formed the letters The letter L. was composed of deep red flowers, the V. of the kind of dahlias called " Queen of the whites," and " virgin queens," and the P. of a delicate salmon colour. Another border consisted of a single row of deep coloured flowers, and underneath this was the other half of the circle, composed of three rows of brightest colours ; a corresponding rosette of dahlias being worked in each corner completed the piece. On one side of this exquisite design was the royal standard of England made of rich silk, - and on the other the royal standard of France made of an equally valuable fabric. This in comparable transparency, as well as the entire fittings of the ball-room, was the result of the highly formed taste of Lieut. Prevost, the flag-lieuteuant of the gallant Port Admiral. The Royal Marines' band was in attendance, and the pleasures of the dance were prolonged to a late hour. To-morrow the French officers, with a select number of official authorities, &c., dine with Rear-Admiral Su perintendent Hyde Parker, C. 8., and afterwards attend the grand ball at the Royal Naval College. But the ball—the ball—is the theme of every one. More than 1,300 it is likely will be present. It is im possible to pay too high a compliment to the officers who have got up this grand affair, which has already re solved itself into a national one—a tribute of respect from the gallant officers and subjects of one powerful monarchy, to the brave and gallant officers and subjects of another most puissant crowned head. The most in defatigable labours, the most excellent taste, and indo mitable perseverance, in spite of all obstacles, in respect of the one great grand object, have marked the conduct of the Committee of Nav a l O ffi cers.

MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY.--The Annual Meeting of this concern took place this morning, at Hayward's Hotel, and, at length, better fortune \ seerns to be dawning on the proprietors. There was a numerous attendance. and the chair was occupied by Mr. G. R. Chappell, on/ of the Directors. The CHAIRMAN said he addressed the meeting vitt) far different feelings than he had entertained twelve months ago. Appearances were then against them, but he had better news for them now than any one could then have anticipated. The Directors had made every exertion for the benefit of the Shareholders, and the report would show them that this disastrous business was more likely to be brought to a favourable conclusion than they could have anticipated.—(Applause.) Mr. W. SMITH, the Managing Director, read the report of the Board. It stated that, at the last Annual Meeting, a Committee of Shareholders had been appointed to investigate the affairs and position of the bank, and that Committee, on the 12th of February last, reported that, after going carefully through the accounts and securities, they had arrived at the result that the balance.. sheet presented to the Shareholders in October last was a true and accurate statement of the position of the bank on the 30th of June preceding. They had also examined the balance-sheet on the 31st of December last, and it afforded thou, satisfaction to be able to report that it showed a considerable realisation of assets, and a consequent reduction of liabilities from 440,936 i. to 314,7781. during the half-year. By the balance-sheet made up to June, 1843, the accuracy of which was vouched by this Committee of Shareholders, the liabili ties amounted to 440,9364 6s. 10d., and the net amount of the estimated assets was 388,5774 16s. sd. ; showing a deficiency of 52,3584 10s. Si!. The following was the stated amount of the liabilities and estimated assets of the bank, to the 30th of June, 1844 : ASSETS. Sundry accounts Properties 77,389 18 6 Cash Bills on hand Bank of Manchester shares Total £1,183,677 1 3 LIABILITIES. Open Accounts £135,629 8 2 Post Notes, Alliance Bank 78,992 0 0 Notes in circulation 1,605 0 0 Unclaimed Dividends £217,573 14 2 Bank Stock Directors' remuneration fund returned New call of 2/. Further call ... Reserved fund ~ 741,030 0 0 1,452 16 0 112,117 15 10 88,477 0 0 22,405 6 3 £1,183,677 1 3 BROUGHT DOWN. Total assets Deduct estimated losses £246,531 17 7 Liabilities 217,573 14 2 Showing a surplus of £28,978 3 5 Thus it would be seen that during the year ending 30th of June last, the liabilities had been reduced from 440,936/. 6s. 10d. to 217,573 L 14s. 2d., and that the esti mated value of the assets, as compared with the liabili ties, showed a surplus of 28;978/. as. sd. This surplus, added to the previous deficiency of 52,358/. 10s. - stl, made a total difference of 81,336/. 13s. 10d. This dif ference was accounted for by the receipts on the first cal! of 21. pef Share, 5,8961., and con the further call, due in January last, 88,497/, and the return of Directors' allow ances, 1,452 Z 165., making a total of 95,846 L ss. From this was to be deducted for interest and the expenses of the year, 14,5091. Ils. 2d., leaving the difference, 81,336/. 13s. 10d. The Directors had revised their estimates with great care, and they hoped they might assure the Shareholders that the preceding surplus of 28,978 Z 3s. sd. was likely to be realised ; at all events, the antici pated receipts from calls would assuredly corer any un foreseen difference, and do something towards paying in terest and expenses. The arrears of calls had had the serious attention of the board, and in some instances, where the parties were thought able to pay, legal pro ceedings bad been instituted ; and it was the intention of the board to prepare a list of all who had not made arrangements for payment before the Ist of No vember, and to submit it to the Shareholders for them to decide on the further proceedings to be taken. On the 30th ult. the liabilities were reduced to 204,4401. Mr. Chappell, Mr. Dyer, and Mr. W. Smith retired from the board by rotation, and were proposed for re election. On the motion of Mr. S. Walker, seconded by Mr. J. Jones, the report was unanimously adopted. Mr. T. GREIG, of Spring Bank, said the Shareholders must all feel gratified at the improved circumstances in which the affairs of the Bank had been placed, for at one time, so far from anticipating the result now held out, it was not known but that serious and heavy calls would have to be made to meet their liabilities. It must be re collected, however, that many of the individuals who were debtors to the bank at one time were now in a better position, and it was probable that the Directors had been induced to take much less for the settlement of their accounts then than they would now. 'What he wished, therefore, was, that the Shareholders of the bank should be put in possession of a list of such men, in order that it might be seen if they could not be induced to make good the whole or a part of the deficiency. Though many in this meeting might feel satisfied that a further call had not been made, it must be recollected that there were others in a different position—there were the widows and orphans, whose all had been sacrificed, and to them the money recovered in this way would be of great im portance, and for their sake it ought to be attempted. He therefore moved " That the Proprietors of this bank be furnished, on or before the Ist of October next, with a list of all debtors to the bank, whose accounts may be considered closed, and the real amount of loss occasioned thereby ; to commence from 1836, when the Directors showed a balance of 741,040 Z capital paid up, and a re served fund of 150,3481., making a total of 891,3781." Mr. JOHN POTTER, one of the Directors, wished to know if Ur. Greig meant to say that any of the Direc tors sitting at that board had been parties to an unfair settlement of any accounts referred to ? Mr. GREIG was sorry anything he had said could lead to such a supposition. He believed the present Directors had done their best in every case for the interest of the bank ; but he would ask boldly, if many settlements, time back, had not been made by Directors, of which the rest of the board were ignorant ? His motion . did not refer alone to what had been done lately, but s ince 1836. Mr. MILLINGTON seconded the motion of Mr. Greig. He, at the same time, thought that a wide line ought to be drawn between the present Directors and those who had drawn them into difficulties.—(Hear, hear.) He approved of the motion for this reason, that, though such men as Mr. Chappell, who had lost 30,000/, might do much by the improvement of trade to mend their broken fortunes, the widow and orphan had not such an opportunity before them, and therefore everything the Proprietors could do for them ought to be done. Mr. SMITH, Manager of the Bank, suggested that the list, which the Directors could have no objection to fur nishing, should be delayed till a few months later than the Ist of October next year, in order that the bank might pay off its debts, otherwise he thought it might induce parties, finder the plea of poverty, to postpone their settlements ; they might say that if they settled before that time their names would get in the list, but it not, they should escape.—(Hear.) Mr. WILSON, of Northern Cheshire, asked what were the amounts upon the two calls made since the bank had stopped that remained unpaid ? Mr. SMITH said the total number of shares was 74,103, upon which two calls of 21. each share had been made, and upon these shares each call would amount to 148,2061. There was a deficiency, however, in the amount realised of 34,9641. on the first call, and of 54,0681. upon the other. Mr. WALKER thought that was not all loss ; the bank had bought shares, and upon them, of course, the call amounted to nothing. The question was, how much less had the Directors realised than they calculated upon from the calls ? Mr. SMITH said only 15,0001. upon the first, which they expected to recover, and the second call had realised more than was calculated upon. The resolution was carried almost unanimously. The retiring Directors were then re-elected, and the meeting separated. DEATH OF THE DEAN OF CARLISLE.—We have to announce the demise of the Rev. Dr. Hodgson, Dean of Carlisle, at his mansion in Lower Grosvenor-street, yes terday morning, after a protracted illness. The late Dean was also rector of the; wealthy parish of St. George, Hanover-square, which living he had held forforty years, and the net revenue of which benefice, as returned to the Commissioners for Inquiry into Ecclesiastical Revenues, is of the annual value of 1,5501. The deanery is worth about 1,6001. a year.

WEYIIILL FAIR, TIAMPSHIRE.—This fair, 'which is the most important in the south of England, was held on IN odnesday in an extensive range of fields three miles from Andover. The fair continues for six successive days, for the sale of sheep, horned cattle, and horses, the supply of which this year was very large, and ex ceeding that of the preceding years. The sheep-pens covered many acres, and the trade was rather brisk; the best ewes making from 28s. to 335., and good South down wethers obtained good prices. The supply of horned cattle was large, and the trade dull, the prices being 12 per cent. lower than the average of last year. The horse field was large, and prime cart colts made high prices. Most of the influential agriculturists and farmers of the adjoining counties were present.
