The friends of peace cannot look with any satisfac tion to the present relations between England and France. The Otaheite affair has been patched up fur the present, but neither country is pleased with the result, and every one looks with anxiety to tt e next intelligence from the Pacific. The Protestant and Catholic missionaries never can agree, and one party or the other must be expelled from the islands, now under French protection. It is needless to say which Hill he driven to the wall. The French have possession of the settlement ; they will of course side with the Catholics ; and while the English mission aries remain there will be no peace. Never was there a more unfortunate selection for a French co lony than Otaheite. The disputes between France and Morocco are in the same unsettled state. The bombardment of two paltry towns will not bend the stubborn spirit of the Moorish population, nor make the EMPEROR yield to the demands, probably most exorbitant, of France. But of these we have no knowledge. We have to infer, however, that they are exorbitant, from the facility with which the demands of Spain, a country utterly helpless, have been ceded. They are much larger than Spain could have expected ; and when the power of France is known, we may safely come to the conclusion that the ultimatum of the French Cabinet is so outrageous, that the EMPEROR will rather risk all than yield. What will be the result? The French forces must march next spring into the interior, an,l occupy every town on t h e coast. B UGEAUD and j OINVILLE must open a new campaign, destroy English commerce, seize territory on the Straits of Gibraltar, b eard the garrison of that fortress, and thereby excite alarm in England for her Mediter ranean trade and her communications with India. 1 These are fearful, but they are very probable pros pects. If England t h rows obstructions in the way, the Chambers, nay, the whole of France, would make a fierce outcry against her interference; I neither the KING nor the Cabinet could control the national movement ; they must be carried with the tide, or swamped in the struggle. Louis Punarre has, by a very excusable wish to see his sons distin guished, though not with his usual prudence, roused a spirit for war; nearly the whole o f the population are prepared for it ; the young generation, aho have not experienced the power of England, wish for another contest, and, confiding too much to the state of Ireland, believe that they will be able to wipe out the defeats which they sus tained under the most powerful man that ever ruled France. "Perfidious Albion" will be the war-cry. These are our firm convictions, even on the most sober and deliberate view of the present state of affairs. It must have struck every reader of journals, that not one public man in France justified the conduct of the Government when it was believed that they would pay any deference to the deliberations of the English Cabi:-.4, either on the dispute about Otaheite or Morocco. Baron CHARLES DUPIN, a to viery mild s t atesman, had no reluctance contest with England. Count MOLE laid France could make no concessions to England about the affair of "one PRITCHARD." The whole Chamber seemed unanimous, and none could hare said what would have been the result had M. GuizoT an- nounced that he would express sincere regret for - the treatment of PRITCIIARD, and grant him an indemnity —conditions which the French Government now have admitted to be just. When the bad passions of na tions are roused, the small still voice of wisdom is lost in the turmoil. LOUIS PHILIPPE seems not aware of this indubitable fact , and he is still less aware that all the other nations of Europe regard France as a great volcano in the centre of civilization, and are prepared to guard themselves against every ex plosion. We are sorry to observe that the apathy of Go vernment touching the improvements and extension of our efficient navy, remains as unmoved as ever ! Neither the menacing aspect of that political tempest which has so lately passed over without bursting upon us, nor the übiquitous activity of France in display ing and exercising her naval resources in every quar- ter of the globe, is sufficient to dissipate the official napping of the heads of the Admiralty Department. Never have we been more thorough converts to the opinions of other men than we profess ourselves to be to the doctrine laid down in the House of Commons by Sir CHARLES NAPIER, touching the inevitable in fluence which years will be found, as a general rule, to exercise on the mental as well as the physical energies of even our best men in command. We are convinced that a man may be a Lord of the Admiralty, for instance, without finding any exemption from this common fate. Nor is he more free than any less for tunately distinguished individual of his species from the moral weakness of aged men—to undervalue the intelligence and powers of the present generation as compared with those whereof they were the con temporaries, and remain the survivors. There is a principle of movement stamped on almost all human institutions, however, by some superior power, the mint mark of which cannot be effaced even by the magical " broad arrow" of the QUEEN'S servants. Amongst these institutions, the science of naval tac tics, and therefore of naval armament, is certainly not the least progressive. The naval marine of the United States have long since and memorably demon strated the vast superiority of large frigates with heavy metal and great length of hull, over small men of-war of superior rating, of more guns, but those of inferior calibre, and of a proportionately shorter run from stem to stern. In the disastrous war of 1812- 14, the costly sacrifices which we were doomed to experience of heroic intrepidity and heroic resolution, of human life and national honour, in noble but fruit less efforts to contend against overwhelming material superiority, are still to be deplored, except in so far as they shall have taught us the salutary lesson that one of our first duties in peace is precautionary preparation for the contingency of war. It is very certain that in the struggle of which we speak, the Guerriere was utterly overmatched in weight of metal, tonnage, manning, and every other element of efficiency by the United States ship Constitution, which captured her; that the Hornet was wholly unequal in the same essen tial elements to the Peacock, by which she was taken ; that the Avon, which w ent down colours flying, if we remember, and her crew cheering, sunk by the fire of her antagonist, the Wasp, was little more than an armed, but ill-found yacht, by the side of the far bulkier and more powerfully armed Ame rican sloop ;—and so, of other casualties (for more, alas ! there were) in that lamentable contest. We do not pause here to balance this shameful account of discomfitures (occasioned by mismanagement, arro gance, and folly, for which we always have thought that the Board of Admiralty of those days, their Se cretary included, richly deserved to be impeached) by dwelling on the brilliant successes that always at tended our flag wherever it was but fairly matched, or even only " almost" fairly, against that of the United States, as in the capture of the Chesapeake, Ame rican frigate, by the British frigate, the Shannon ; of the sloop Argus by the sloop Pelican ; or of the President so-called frigate, by H.M S. En dymion. Far from wishing invidiously to recur to these hostile conflicts between single ships of the two nations, we particularly desire to recal the fact to the attention of our readers, that our American antago nist was at that day, as in these, most honourably dis tinguished for his admirable seamanship, his un doubted courage, his enterprising audacity, and the admirable system upon which his navy was manned armed, and equipped. For it was with a full know ledge of all these facts that the Admiralty in 1812-14 allowed so many of our cruisers, under every con ceivable disparity of force and equipment, to encounter the overwhelming superiority of their American an tagonists. The results of that imbecile and overween ing confidence, though they showed against what hopeless chances British valour will always struggle —sometimes reaping death and defeat from the very temerity which at others enables her to pluck victory out of the hands of Fate as it were—did not fail to show that the omissions and errors of defective pre paration cannot be always repaired in time by the bravest efforts of the bravest service in the world. Now the Admiralty of 1844 will too surely follow in the footsteps of their predecessors of 1812, if the public voice do not immediately call them to a more vigilant and vigorous discharge of their most respon sible duties. What is the demonstration with which they are prepared, to prove to Europe and the world at large, that whilst on the one hand this country is neither so wanting in self-respect, neither so diffident of her strength, nor so prodigal of her means, as to com mission large fleets of her men-of-war for no other purposes than those of making descents on obscure coasts of remote seas, deposing olive-coloured princes, or tearing down the newly-acquired flag of a semi civilized insular monarchy, in order to set up her own, by fraud or violence, in its stead ; or enforcing de mands of apology and pecuniary reparation against the barbarian SULTAN of dominions adjacent to those last usurped by them in Africa ? The demonstration pro duced by the extensive commissioning of so re spectable a naval squadron as France has dispatched against the forts and coasts of Morocco, and up the Mediterranean, by those detachments of powerful ships of the line, frigates, &c., which she has sent into the seas of China, off the shores of South America, and into the Pacific—by th e co i nc id ent appearance, in the Yellow Sea, of an American man-of-war with this French force ;—by the display of a formidable Russian navy, the ships of which are appearing so often in the principal harbour and road steds of Europe and of Asia; and by the notorious and admitted inferiority of the scale on which our own navy is at present established, so far as regards the number and the manning of our ships in com mission : this demonstration consists in —what ? In the increase of our Mediterranean fleet in some amount less disproportionate to that of France than one or two to 17 or 19 ? In the replacing at our principal outports and naval harbours the customary protection of formidable guardships, such as first-class men-of war, in a condition capable of a rapid completion of equipment ? No, nothing of the kind. It consists in the putting into commission some dozen of small gun brigs—about the most useless craft which could be contributed for active service in the event of war, or even as a squadron of observation in the case of such furthei reckless displays on the part of the French navy, as the bombardment I of maritime towns belonging to a friendly Power. These brigs, denounced by the most competent naval authorities, are commissioned for the sake of entering volunteer hands, and drafting them to other ships of her MAJESTY'S navy, as they may be required. A correspondent of our's has so recently and so ably de monstrated the futility of the expectations based on this kind of craft (from the unwillingness, among other causes, of men to engage themselves under con ditions that preclude them from knowing beforehand anything of the officers they are to serve under), that we do not enter again into that question. But we ask, what can be the reason that, against the irrefraga ble evidence to the necessity, policy, and expediency of increasing both the efficiency and the extent of our navy, the Admiralty remain thus supine as to all useful exertion ; thus mischievously meddling as to the re-establishment of a foolish and ineffective de scription of vessels of war? Is it that Sir ROBERT o PEEL abets the twaddling un rea di ness of Sir GEORGE COCKBURN) in returning to the f a t u i ty of the days f little brigs and half - and-half equipments, inorder that he, the Premier, may realise on the year's in- cone a taking "surplus r' We are much.di s p ose d to believe that this may be the fact. There is a large class of silly people, among the supportel of the Premier, who take a surplus of revenue to be the this scheme be attended with the most favourable results as regards the health of the working commu nity, but it will be still further beneficial, inasmuch as it will tend to bring all classes of society in Man chester and its neighbourhood much more in contact with each other than they have yet been. In the course of his evening walks in the park, when the day's toil is at an end, it will frequently happen that the operative will meet his employer; and gradually, as each sees more of the other, the hauteur of the one and the distrust of the other will abate, and feelings of mutual respect will grow up between them, productive of the happiest conse quences to both. It is the separation of rich and poor, of high and low into distinct classes—a separa tion which was unknown in England before the Re volution of 1688—that has done so much mischief to society, and rendered popular legislation a task of such difficulty ; and we gladly hail, therefore, as an improved sign of the times, every attempt that is made to throw down this absurd wall of demarcation, and bring the different orders and degrees of people, who go to make up our com , plicated social system, freely and fairly face to face with each other. It is by no means a matter of course that the poor man should distrust the rich man, and the latter regard the former as his inevit able enemy. It is the odious, paltry system of Exclu siveness, which for the best part or a century has been yearly on the increase among us, that has brought about this injurious state of things ; and never will it be well with England till rank and wealth have learned to abate something of their pride and assumption, and to recognise the social claims of humanity, no matter whether it be clad in a smock frock or a fustian jacket, and call itself an operative or a labourer. Madrid journals, of the 4th inst., announce that the differences between Spain and Morocco have been adjusted. The conditions, according to the Heraldo, are as follow :—" The Arab who caused the Spanish Vice-Consul to be assassinated is to be severely punished. Our Government will receive indemnities for all the acts of piracy which have been committed on Spanish vessels. Two leagues of territory are to be granted to Spain beyond the lines of Ceuta. The Spanish flag shall be saluted by the Morocco cannon." It is thought that the Government will not hesitate to ratify this arrangement, which will appear imme diately in the Gazette. The troops which were as sembled to form part of the Uorocco expedition are already ordered to march back into the interior. This conclusion of our differences with the Emperor of MOROCCO is generally attributed to the good offices and intervention of Mr. BULWRR. The elections in the twelve districts of Madrid continued favourable to the Government candidates, among whom are MARTINRZ DE LA ROSA, ALCALA GALIANO, the Duke DR CASTRO TERRRNO, the Mar quis DR MIRATLORES, &c. The leaders of the Pro gresista party had given up the contest in despair : so it is extremely probable that NARTAEz will have a Parliament sufficiently pliable to register any act, however unconstitutional. He and his colleagues, of course, will obtain an indemnity for all their illegal deeds since the abrupt dissolution of the last Cortes. The Three per Cents. were done at 27i at sixty days; the Floating Debt at 61 at sixty days ; and the Coupons at 25} at sixty days. The Prince DE Jou; VILLE has forwarded another long dispatch to AdmiralMacKau, the Minister of Marine, giving numerous details of the attacks on Tangiers and Mogadore. The publication of this document, so long after the bombardment, has taken the good people of Paris by surprise. Some believe that it is the first dispatch with emendations and additions, others that has been drawn up by authority to put to shame most absolute test that can be suggested of Ministe rial sagacity and excellence. It is strange that on the very fact of this annual surplus, they do not found a determined and invincible demand for the repeal of that obnoxious tax, the most disgraceful memorial cf Sir ROBERT'S Administration, the income-tax. But it is still more strange that, with the Premier, they should look idly on, and permit to be sacrificed to such an object—to the mere personal or official inte rests of the Minister—all present securities, and im mediate preparations for the vindication of, the naval supremacy and the natural independence and dignity of Great Britain ! The proposal for making free public parks and walks in the neighbourhood of Manchester and Sal ford for the recreation of the labouring classes, is fast increasing in favour with people of all ranks in that populous district. The manufacturers, in particular, who have been so often accused by the monopolists of indifference towards the comforts of the operative s in their employ, are taking up the matter with great zeal, and have already handed in subscriptions to a considerable amount—the surest guarantees for their sincerity in the cause. Sir ROBERT PEXL, too—who owes so many obligations to the industry of the Manchester working-classes, of which to his credit be it said, he is not unmindful—has contributed the mu nificent sum of one thousand pounds ; so that the scheme thus fairly set a going and under the most fortunate auspices—for the Premier's approbation is " a tower of strength"—will not henceforth be allowed to slumber, but within a short space of time will be successfully accomplished. We must confess, notwithstanding its obvious simplicity, which we fear will not recom mend it to those who maintain crotchety theories on the subject of the improvement of the humbler orders of society, and who are apt to turn with philosophic contempt from all plans but such as are abstruse and impracticable—notwithstanding, we say, the obvious. simplicity of this scheme of public paths and walks, we entertain the most sanguine anticipations as to its results, and are confidently of opinion that it will do more to raise and refine the character of the opera tive classes than all the churches and con venticles that could be erected, were one to be built in every street and square and alley of Manchester. Health has more to do with religion and morality than may be imagined when the body is in a sound state from the combined operation of daily fresh air and exercise, it imparts its genial, bracing tone to the mind, which is conse quently full of cheerful thoughts, and grateful emo tions—the soil most favourable to the growth of virtue ; but when, on the contrary, the body is en feebled by the pressure of disease arising from in ability to get a mouthful of pure air, the mind, almost of necessity, takes the same sickly tone, and becomes jaundiced, splenetic, and a prey to feelings and reflections of the most injurious tendency. To make the operative classes happy and contented with their lot, we must give them health ; and to give them health, we must furnish them with the means of daily enjoying a country walk, and ex changing the stifling atmosphere of the fac tory for the fresh, invigorating winds of Heaven. The establishment of public p ar k s will place these inestimable blessings within their reach. Hence there is no question of the day in which the statesman, the patriot, and the philanthropist are bound to take a deeper interest. Bat not only will The Observateur Suisse states that the Prince DE METTERNICH has very recently declared the deter mination of his Government to see the independence of Switzerland established on a firm basis, and to recognise no distinction of parties. We give; the following from Ancona, 28th ult., in ;he Augsburg Gazette : " Three weeks ago a cutter, which left Malta under the Greek flag, and which sailed in the direction of Corfu', had on board some persons who are suspected of having kept up relations with the committee o f th e party called Young Italy in London. We now learn that these incorrigible enemies of the public peace are preparing for a new expedition against the Roman States. Salva tore Fata, who is charged with the execution of this pro ject, was on board the cutter. He has for his mission to receive into pay some Albanian brigands on the coast of Greece, and to attempt with them a landing on some favourable point.. It is stated, from Calabria, that a captain, who was in the Neapolitan services is endea vouring to get up a revolt. The authorities, notwith standing their vigilance and activity, have not been able to arrest him. There reigns in the Romagna, and par ticularly at Forti and Imola, a certain degree of agita tion, but the mass of the population is perfectly tran quil. They know well what they have to expect from the malcontents ; they are aware to what the anarchical and fanatical spirit of these misled men might conduct them. Considerable sums of money have been lately sent from Marseilles to Corfu and Calabria, for the agents of the committee of Young Italy at London." The same journal contains a letter from Naples, announcing that the Government of the Two Sicilies is at present revising its tariffs, with a view to dimi- nishing the duties now pressing on foreign exports. The letter adds that the Neapolitan Cabinet has re nounced all hope of concluding an advantageous treaty England, and Sp a i n , b u t th a t it waso o n i i e t r h the ei p F n. o r i a n n t c o e f entoring into negotiations with the z THE BOURSE—Tussnia, SEPT. 10.

The in crease has taken place chiefly among that class of diseases called epidemic, endemic, and contagious. The deaths caused by scarlatina are unusually great, the number being 99, average 39, and of those all, except one, were under 15 years of age. Small-pox, too, has been very fatal, the number being 40—average, 11 ; typhus, 39; average, 28. Deaths from pneumonia, consumption, and diseases of the lungs are considerably below the average. The following is the analysis of the list of violent deaths :—fracture or contusion, seven cages, of which four were by falls, one by a carriage, and two not stated how caused. Drowning, seven cases, of which three were suicides, two accidental, and two not stated. Burns, three cases. Murder, two cases. Hanging, one case—suicide. And scald, one case. Total, thirteen males and eight females. The fall of rain in inches was 0.19. ,hose jealous Englishmen who would allow the French no merit in silencing the forts of Tangiers.

The family is nearly allied lo the house plete, though tardy, reply to the insolent and stupid of Orleans, and bears one of the most ancient as well as i historical names of France. The marriage is to take letters of the officers of the Warspite. Our sailors had been amply revenge d b y th e contempt w i th which , place in Paris, during the s e of the present course month.— Post. these calumnies had been received in France. They nevertheless met with a kind of support in the silence observed by the Government on the first operations of the fleet. It would appear that his report con tained some political remarks which were not favour able to England, and a fresh report has been ob tained, which might be published without giving offence to the particular friends of M. GUIZOT. This report again mentions that the Prince had been for bidden to take possession of Tangiers, and this pro hibition extended also to the other places on the coast. What the result of this line of policy will be time will show." The Revue de Paris, which, from the precision with which it gives sayings and doings in the British Cabinet, would make the world believe that it has a reporter standing behind the President's chair, gives the following as matters of fact:— " We have received curious details respecting the de liberation of the English Ministers, in consequence of which the arrangement of the Otaheite affair was con cluded. It appears that the question of war was first put and debated, and that the discussion left in the minds of the majority of the Ministers a conviction that it was impossible for England, at the present moment, to go to war. This impossibility being acknowledged, the mem bers of the Cabinet agreed as to the interest which Eng lish policy had in the maintenance of M. Guizot's Mi nistry. That con'ideration contributed in making it accept the terms proposed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is said that the Queen interfered actively with regard to her Ministers, in order to give a pacific solution to the quarrel. Commodore Toup Nicolas, and the commander of the French forces in the South Seas, are the arbitrators of the indemnity to be accorded by M. Guizot to the missionary Pritchard. The English Ministry make this indemnity an important portion of the arrangement. It reckons upon this condition to jus tify to the Parliament the assurance given by Sir Robert Peel, that the honour of England would be taken care of. He sees, and with reason, in this indemnity, a recognition of the injustice done to Mr. Pritchard." We subjoin some miscellaneous extracts from the Continental papers. The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Pres burg, of the 31st ult., which gives some details of a sitting of the Chamber of the Magnates of Hungary. It says:— " The sitting of the Magnates of the 28th was exceed ingly important. It turned on the reform demanded by the free cities and supported by the Chamber of the States. The latter body insisted on the reform which the upper Chamber opposed, strongly denying the right of the other Chamber to use such language as they em ployed with respect to them. Count J. de Palffy, the head of the Opposition, maintained that the Magnates had no right to interfere, and impede the progress of the democratic feeling, denying also that a set of men, igno rant, in debt, and servile, could be reckoned a real aris tocracy. Count Teleky went still farther, and moved that the Upper Chamber should be abolished altogether, as being animated with sentiments hostile to the nation and the Constitution. On thiQ, a great uproar arose, and the Pslatine who filled the President's chair endea voured to obtain silence, but ineffectually. Count Otto Zichy even reproached the Conservative party with the troubles which had recently taken place in Bohemia. In the end, the propositions of the States were rejected." A letter from Hamburgh, in the Journal de Franc fort, says :-- " A fortune of a million and a half sterling has just been inherited by a poor workman of Altona, in the employ of MM. Baur. The Governor of Demerara lately wrote to Lord Stanley,; mentioning that an indi vidual had just died in the colony who had, in 1790, left in the bank of Altona a capital which would now amount to a million and a half, and that his son lived in that city, and was entitled to the whole amount. Colonel Hodges, the English Charg6 d'Aflairs, was directed to examine into the matter, and the result is, that the son of the deceased being dead, the brother of the former is considered the heir. He has chosen an able lawyer to act for him, expressing his intention to continue in his position of a workman until this colossal fortune shall be handed over to him." NONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. Th• same paucity of business again prevailed in the English market. Consols closed at 991 sellers for pre sent Transfer, and buyers at about that rate for Account. The Foreign Securities also exhibited rather a dull ap pearance. Spanish Actives were 23i- to 23i; the Three per Cents. 34i to 341; Portuguese Converted, 46 to 46i; and Mexican, 35- 1 1 to 35i for the Active, and 15k for the Deferred.

The delay in the arrival of the West IncEa mail has caused some uneasiness, as it is now four days over due. In the Sydney papers received this morning to the 3d of May, there are many details relative to the affair at Otaheite which has not yet appeared in the published accounts from that quarter, connected with the late opera tions of the French against it. It is scarcely known here that many of our countrymen who have settled in Australia have had a constant commercial communica tion with Otaheite and the other islands, of a standing equal to a qu a rt er o f a century. The od) of the resi dent Protestant missionaries in the Georgian Islands addressed the Governor of the French .posses sions in the South Pacific Ocean, declining an interview that had been asked to discuss af fairs upon three grounds :—First, that the changes or occupation was contrary to the great law of equity be tween man and man, nation and nation. Secondly, that to accept the invitation would, in the estimation of man kind, amount to a compromise ; and thirdly, that though exhorting the people to peaceable obedience, they had never intended to recognise French authority. M. Bruat eventually promised his protection to the missionaries. There appears to be a considerable degree of excite ment in the colony on the subject of the fixity of the tenure of land on the frontier, a proclamation on the sub ject having been issued by the Governor, which had given great disapprobation on this matter. The accounts from Port Philip received to-day are not of interest. The Funds are dull, Consols 994 4 for Money, and 994 for Account. Exchequer Bills 765. to 745. prem.

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vutatt eptitton. " Who runs may read." POZEZWN. The National observes—" That Louis Philippe show wish to leave France and pay a visit to Queen Victoria is a question which regards his Ministers ; but it generally considered by the public that this fancy is . timed. It is considered that the travellers might choose anotker period for their exchange of politeness, than the • very moment when Sir Robert Peel, Lord Aberdeen, and • the Duke of Wellington, held the most eccentric and gross language towards our country in the presence of the British Parliament, when, thanks to the timidity of our governors, the English Cabinet has inflicted on the dignity of Franca the most sanguinary affront, and at a moment when through Out the English press, at public meetings, and in the Parliament, the most violent calum nies and invectives are lavished on our navy." Baron d'Andlaw, the Minister of Baden, Baron de Drachenfels, Minister of Hesse, and M. Weyland, had audiences of the King on Monday, at which they pre seated the replies of their Sovereigns to the notification of the birth of the Duke d'Aleneon. On Sa'urday the annual funeral service, in commemo ration of the late King and Queen of Napl.'s, was per ; formed in the presence of the Queen of the French in the Church of Neuilly. The Prefect of the Seine has just left Paris to pass a month at his estate of Rambuteau. The Marquis de La morelie supplies his place ad interim. The Prefect of Police has issued a circular to the Mayors of the department of the Seine, relative to the New Game-law, calling on them to inform the several keepers and agents under their authority, that licences under the old law are to be considered in force until the year for which they were granted shall have fully elapsed. Lieutenant Besson, who was in command of the Groen land, is to appear before a court-martial. The Moniteur Beige publishes a decree by the King of the Belgians, dated the 7th inst., by which, as a conse quence of a recent treaty with the German Customs' Union (Zollverein) it is ordered that, in future, Prussian vessels in Belgian ports shall pay only the same duties as Belgian vessels ; that the Customs' duties on wines of the union shall be reduced to fifty centimes per hectolitre in cask, and two francs per hectolitre in bottle ; the excise duty also to be reduced 25 per cent., and the import duty on silk manufactures of the Zollverein to be reduced 20 per cent. A Madrid journal states that a quarry of lithographic stone of the best quality has just been discovered at Mi rallet, in Catalonia. On the 3d inst., at eight in the morning, a pilot-boat of Antwerp fell in with what appeared to be a raft, at a considerable distance from the shore off Walcheren, and having nine men on it. On approaching, it was found that the supposed raft was one of the platforms made upon faggots which are used for the repair of dykes. The master of the pilot-boat rescued the men from their perilous position, and learned from them that 24 hours previously they had left with two boats to transport their platform to a dyke which had been in jured, but that the wind had got up strong from the land, and forced them out to sea. Their boats had been swamped, and their only means of saving themselves from immediate drowning was their platform. 'They would probably have perished in a few hours, as the si a was getting very rough. They had been without nou rishment of any kind for 24 hours. The Havre journals of Monday inform us that on the preceding afternoon that town was visited by a storm of extraordinary violence. The wind was so high that considerable damage was done to some' of the houses, and the rain subsequently fell in such abundance that even carriages could not circulate in some of the streets, and the cellars of the houses were filled with water. The Cologne Gazette contains the follovving letter from Berlin, of the Ist September: —" A great uneasiness is felt for the corn trade of the Baltic provinces, and espe cially for the trade of Danizie, w here immense quanti ties of wheat are accumulated, which cannot be disposed of except in case of a bad harvest in England ; but, as i: is better this year than it Las been for a long time, the merchants of Dantzic being obliged to keep their corn, are threatened with considerable losses. One house has already failed for 180,000 dollars, and it is feared that several others, and more considerable houses, will shire the same fate." LAW AND POLICII. On Wednesday the first order of affiliation under the recent Act of Parliament was made at Queen-square Police•court. The putative father of the &did was Joseph Edgely, a young linen draper's assistant, resid ing at Nantwich, in Cheshire, who was summoned to show cause why an order of 2s. 6d. per week should not be made upon him for its maintenance. After the wom3n had given her evidence, the solicitor for the defendant said he did not consider there was the description of confirmatory testimony required produced in this case. Mr. Burrell thought the case clearly made out, and should adjudge the defendant to make an allowance to wards the maintenance of the child. Mr. Edwards, the chief clerk, inquired the amount ? Mr. Burrell said it must be 2s. 6d. per week. The object of the Legislature in mentioning this sum, had clearly been with a view to put part of the onus on the mother of the. child. De fendant was further adjudged to pay the sum of 3/. 17s. travelling expenses of the officer to Nautwich, and other costs. A number of individuals, omnibus proprietors and re sidents of Kensington, waited on Mr. Hardwick, at Marl borough -street-office, to intercede for a mitigation of the sentence on William Mills, a driver of one of the Brixton omnibuses, who was sentenced to the treadmill for one month, for racing with Foulkes, the driver of a Kensing ton omnibus. Mr. Hardwick said he saw no motive for modifying his judgment. The case was a very bad one, arid the defendants had not attempted to palliate their offence, but had pleaded guilty at once. The public safety had been greatly endangered by the reck'ess con duct of omnibus-drivers, and as penalties were paid out of a common fund, he had determined to try what effect imprisonment would have. COVXT-rAANIIONA.WR. The Lord Great Chamberlain, Lord Willoughby de Eresby, has joined Lady Willoughby de Eresby and family at Grimsthorpe Castle, Lincolnshire, from Drum mond Castle, Perthshire, her 'Majesty and Prince Albert not being expected to visit that ancient baronial seat during their present visit to Scotland. The Duke and Duchess of St. Albans have arrived on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Morley, at Saltram, Devon, from a short visit to lady Rolle, at Bicton. Mr. and Lady Caroline Sanford are entertaining the Duke and Duchess of Leinster, Lady Jane Fitzgerald, and Lord Otho Fitzgerald, and a select party, at Nyne head Court, Somerset. The Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol will this week enter upon the occupation of the palace provided for him in the village of Stapleton, three miles from Bristol, by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. Great im provements and additions have been made in the pre mises since they were purchased for the Episcopal resi dence.

The amalgamation of the London arT(I York Company with the Boston, Lincoln, and Wakefield Railway Com pany, was formally ratified on Tuesday. In compliance with the arrangement entered into on this occasion, it has been determined that the trunk line of the London and York Railway shall pass from Doncaster by Selby to York, and that a branch shall be made from Don caster to Wakefield, and another from Lincoln, on the banks of the Fuss and Witham, to Boston. The public appear to be fully aware of the importance of securing the as,istance of these two powerful and wealthy bodies, as in fire days since the announcement of their haring thrown their interest into the London and York, the re mainder of the whole capital of 5,000,0001., has been subscribed. On Sunday last the passenger traffic of what was the Brandling Junction Railway was transferred to the sta tion of the New castle and Darlington Railway, in Green's field, Gateshead, and the name of the Brandling Junc tion Railway no longer appears in the time-bills, &c. " The silly crusade," says the Brighton Guardian, " against Sunday-trading is at an end. A slight conces sion has been made, the acceptance of which was dic tated by prudence; and so the matter ends with little credit to those who originated it, if we except the readi ness and address with which they have beaten a retreat." On Wednrsda), a vt ry numerous and highly respect able meeting of the medical and surgical profession was held at the public office, Birmingham, to take into con sideration the Bill lately introduced by Sir James Gra ham, on medical reform. Amongst those present were Dr. Fletcher, Mr. Thomas Chavasse. Mr. Pye Chavusse, Mr. Saunders, Mr. Iladley, Mr. Laurence, Mr. Taylor, Mr. G. Elkington, Mr. Ryland, Mr. Partridge, Mr. Parsons, Mr. Hothead), Mr. Wickendon, Dr. Birt Davies, Dr. Mackay. and several gentlemen from the surrounding district. The speakers dwelt particularly on the encouragement given to the sale of quack medi eines, and unskilful persons being permitted to prescriptions. A petition to the Houses of Parliament against certain portions of the Bill was then agreed to, after which the meeting separated. The usual quarterly meeting of the Governors of the Royal General Dispensary, was held on Wednesday, in the board-room of the dispensary, in Aldersgate-street, City ; the Rev. E. D. Legh in the chair. The minutes of the last general meeting having been approved and confirmed, the report was read by the secretary. It stated that during the past quarter no less a number than 3,000 patients had been admitted to participate in the benefits of the Institution. During that period, amongst the poorer and more destitute class, an extraordinary in crease in cases of fever was remarked.
