The Moral ng Herald has put forth the Ca..,t (w€ presume) of a series of articles intended to rebut certain fallacies which it declares are 4 . echoed and re-echoed by the Anti-Corn law League agitators and free-traders." Thee Fallacies it assumes to be the allegations indulged in lbd -steal parties, " that if the United Kingdom took 'freely and without restriction the agricultural .produce of other countries, they would, with equal certainty and liberality, take her manufactures in return." And again, that "no country can be great or powerful, or wealthy, prosperous, and happy, but a manufacturing country, and th a t i t is, consequently, the duty of legislators and lftislation to attend to ma nufactures alone." With regard to the first of these propositions (neitl er he must show that the manufacturing interest does not su:'ply the largest, but are, indeed, the indispensable market for the agricultural produce of a country. If it be true that that market, or consumption, is pro vided by that interest, what the Herald terms " a fal- I:tcy" remains—like the League itself, -" a great fact." Hut in perusing the remainder of the article from which o c are cuoting, we are reminded of its definition of agricultural produce." We promised to recur to this, and here it is :—" The following are the articles, the produce of the soil—agricultur a l produce— wLich this country takes from foreign nations.' Well, what, among other products, do we find enumerated under this very comprehensive heading, cinbracing, it seems, "everything that is the produce if the soil, cultivated by the labour of man ?" Why, actually these :—" Speller ! quicksilver! iron !" In ‘N hat country these "oracles " of Arabian tales, these ferriferous and argentiferous lands, cropped alter- nately with sugar-canes and several ores, " in situ,' at the surface, are to be found, the Herald does not tol u'. Some arable El Dorado territory he must mean, because he is precise in showing that these are "pro- duets of a soil cultivated by human labour." We might otherwise have supposed he meant to write "products of the earth below the surface" cultivated by man. But the soil " referred to, wherever it be, has more than a Guano power of forcing production. This soil is further stated to grow "skins and hides," and "furs." To the last, at any rate, we must object, in lirnine, as ally sample of "agricultural produce ;" and the Herald ,A ill snake but little way in the future progress of its - - Anti-League argument, if the other data, upon which it is raised, involve such false designations of things as tZ: S. When men who have once occupied eminent public station depart from among us, we are naturally led to consider what were the merits, the talents, or the measures by which that station was attained. In eases, even, where a long season of retirement has elapsed since they quitted their public career, and where death has overtaken them in the privacy of domestic seclusion, this sort of consideration forces itself upon the minds of surviving contemporaries ; but where the defunct has expired in actual duty— dropping out of life from the very ranks, as it were, of official service—the matter is one that irresistibly challenges some such retrospect of the history of his public life. Within thTs last category, it is our lot to record the case of the Right Hon. Lord ABINGER, late Chief Baron of the Exchequer, who was struck by a mortal ilness whilst attending to his judicial duties on cir ' eu , t, and expired, after a few days' confinement, yes terday afternoon. As Mr., and afterwards Sir JAMES SCARLETT, he was for a long course of years prior to 1835 (when he was created Baron ABINGER), distinguished member of the House of Commons. Up to the period of Mr. CANNING'S Administration, formed in April 1827, his Lordship had been, avow edly, a Whig. He sat with the Whigs, he voted ssith them ; he was, for the most part, a warm oppo nent of the Governinent of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, :hich, established in 1812, endured until Februlry, 1827. In April of the latter year, Sir JAMES ScAn- LETT succeeded Sir CHARLES WETHERELL, as At `ot•ney-General to Mr. CANNING'S Government ; inil he occupied that office, beyond the Pre .n:cr's demise, under the Earl of RIPON'S Administration, until January, 1828, when he re igned. In May, 1829, however, the Duke of WELLINGTON being Prime Minister, he was a second time appointed Attorney-General, in the room of his 'ormer predecessor, Sir C. WETHERELL, who, also, had been a second time appointed, on the demise of • r. CANNING, and had retired on his Grace's taking office. Sir JAMES, in his turn, once more give up this I:stinguished office on the coming in of his former political friends, in November, 1830, under Earl GREY. In December, 1834, when Sir R. PEEL re eived the seals of the First Lord of the Treasury, Sir J.sszEs SCARLETT was appointed to the Chief Barony .)fthe Exchequer, and in the following year he received his peerage. From this brief review of his official wi public career it may be surm:sed—and the sur- nise would. be but too well-founded—that the de cease] judge was neither a very pure Whig, nor a very decided Conservative—that he who was ostensibly the confidential legal adviser of the generous-principled, the liberal-minded, the English spirited CANNING, could not have really filled the same position, and frankly discharged its relations, to that Minister—of far inferior capacity and character—who had trodden, so to speak, over the mighty form of his deceased, but more illustrious colleague, into the vacant seat of power. The truth of history reqaires us to admit that the Parliamentary career of the late Lord ABINGER was of a nature fraught with signal mischief to the influence of great constitutional prin- ciples. It tampered with some of the dearest rights of popular freedom. It vacillated between the love of office and the loyalty of party. For we are not afraid to avow our deep conviction that no more salutary con trol can be devised to insure political morality in public men, than that profession of political faith which is vulgarly called the declaration_ of party. It assumed to be founded, and ought to proceed, on the mature examination of such elementary principles as are essential to the guarantees of private rights and public liberty. This is an end, in which all good and patriotic men must at all times concur. The true means to that end may be, at any time, a subject of legitimate and conscientious difference and dis pute among them. But they who, upon examination and conviction, have once determined that the popular tendencies of Whiggery are the most nearly identified with the spirit of our Constitution, I and the social and political advancement of the empire, cannot, without incurring grave suspicions of their sincerity, turn round upon such principles of action, and record their adhesion to a Government founded on high Tory maxims of government. Now,. no man can deny that there was all this amount of discrepancy between the liberalised—we might call it the emancipated—policy of Mr. CANNING'S Go- 1 vernment, as contrasted with that of Lord LIVER r:OOL, and between the Government of the Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir R. PEEL, as collated with that of CANNING. We remember, that on the odious •' Six Bills " of Lord CASTLEREAGII'S introduction, which were insolent, but insidious, irrrasions of the rights of free discussion, of public meeting, of public petitioning, of personal immunity, of which is stated, by the bye, with much regard to fairness, or much care to avoid exaggeration in the terms of their statement), the Herald remarks that a careful examination of the whole of our imports would show "that we take scarcely anything else ex cept agricultural produce," meaning, by agricul tural produce, everything that is the produce of the sod cultivated by the labour of man. To this definition we shall presently crave attention. The Herald is indignant that it should yet be commonly imagined, and " loudly repeated, that this country either takes no, or but very little, agricultu ral produce from foreign nations." With regard to the second proposition, the Herald threatens to re turn to it more at length in a day or two. We shall, therefore, await, with some curiosity, the more elaborate argument which our Contemporary promises on so curious a topic. It adds, "We shall show this point bears upon our commerce with the United States es pecially, and also the value of agricultural property and produce in this country, as compared to that in trade and manufactures. We propose also to show the same things as regards the United States of Ame rica, where the contrast in every part will be shown to he equally striking in the vast preponderance of agricultural over foreign trade and manufactures. Yet no one will gainsay the fact that the United States is a great country." In the meantime we beg to remark, that, if the Anti- Corn-law Leaguers hold that other countries, " if we would import freely their agricultural produce, would, with equal readiness, take our manufactures in return ;"—they do not assuredly mean to say that this either would, or could happen, without previous mo difications of our own antiquated and mischievous fiscal system. Even the boon that we should extend to the foreigner, by taking his corn off hl3 hands, uncharged with the existing monopoly tax upon it, would not indemnify him fur all the disadvantages of gemral trade with a country that overwhelms the fo reign customer by " customs' " duties, on so many of his commodities, - that seem to have been imposed with no other purpose but to effect their virtual exclusior from our ports. So much for the first of the " folio. des" denounced by the Herald. As fur the second, our Contemporary seems to overlook the fact, that, be fore he can establish a negative to it,—even in the ex. ample he cites, subsequently, of the United States,- THE SUN, LONDON, TITV'g-nAeri MORNING, APRIL 9, A 844, , The Irish papers give most glowing accounts of the enthusiasm with which Mr. O'CONNELL has been re ceived on his way to Cork, where he is to be enter tained at a magnificent public dinner. At every town and village through which the " convicted conspira tor" passed, the people assembled in vast crowds, and testified their unabated confidence in him by repeated bursts of acclamation. " I have had many opportu eities," says an eye-witness, writing to a Morning Contemporary on the subject, " of observing the manner in which the Liberator was received when journeying through the several districts of Ireland during the period of the monster-meetings, but on no one occasion have I ever seen a more enthusiastic reception given him, than that which he has this day received as the convicted' for conspiring' to liberate his native land by re storing her legislative independence." This strong manifestation of national sympathy for Mr. O'Cox- NELL at a ticklish period like the present, is another of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Irish " difficulties," greater, if possible, than any that he has yet encountered. In what spirit will he meet it—by what means will he overcome it ? He has already tried his utmost to cripple the power of the " convicted conspirator," and the only result of his strenuous efforts has been, to arm that " conspirator" with more power than ever. Influential as Mr. O'CONNELL is, while at liberty to go where he pleases, and address enormous masses of his countrymen whenever he sees fit to do so ; he will be infinitely more influential when confined within the four walls of a prison, for to admiration of his talents and confidence in his sincerity, will then be added a deep, heartfelt sympathy in his fate. Ireland will be continually bearing in mind—and the reflec tion will render Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government still more odious than ever in her eyes, and reduce it to a completer state of insignificance than it is in even at present—lreland, we say, will bear in mind that it is for her that Mr. O'CONNELL is suffering imprison ment—that it is for her he is debarred from the fresh air of Heaven, and the enjoyment, so dear to him, of a stroll over his native mountains; and this thought incessantly fermenting and sinking deeper in the national mind, will arm the object of it with a moral influence compared with which that of the Govern ment will appear an absolute nullity. The Tories have always been famous for their dexterity in building up brick walls against which to run their own heads, but they have never exhibited their skill to greater advantage than in the present instance. Instead of crippling Mr. O ' CONNELL- as they fondly hoped they would do by their State trial —they have armed him with fresh means for annoy ing them. Already we perceive he has entered his protest against their Irish Franchise Bill, and his opinions on this subject will now be regarded with more implicit deference and respect than ever Through the medium of the Committee of the Repeal Association Mr. O'CONNELL thus expresses himself on the subject of the Bill in question :—" That the te nant-at-will clause in the English Reform Bill, com monly called the CHANDOS clause, has been found, by experience, to work most mischievously, and, in fact, to destroy the independence of the English county voters. It is the worst species of franchise known in England, and, therefore, is brought forward as the principal franchise to be given to Ireland ; while the low rates of franchise existing in England have been most un justly taken away from the people of .Ireland, and are, with a similar injustice, still retained from them. That another objection to the present Bill is, that it makes no provision for an increase of the representa tion of the Irish nation." When these objections come to be repeated by " the convicted conspirator" week after week ; when, dating from a prison, he en forces his objections by those impassioned and argu mentative appeals to the feelings and intelligence of his countrymen, of which he is so consummate a master, it is not difficult to foresee the effect which this martyr to the cause of Ireland will produce on the popular mind, and the additional—and perhaps also we might add, inextricable—difficulties in which he will involve his Ministerial opponents. We can scarcely anticipate any other fate for Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Irish Franchise Bill, than that which a 3 ear or two since befel Lord STANLEY'S Registration Bill. As Mr. O'CoNNELL upset the one, so will he now upset the other, leaving to Government nothing but the sorry consolation of knowing that they have made him a " convicted conspirator." A report prevailed in Madrid that, on the birth day of CHRISTINA (the 27th inst.) an amnesty would be proclaimed. Rumours dre very prevalent of a serious misunderstanding between NARVAEZ and M. GON ZALES BRAVO; the former supports a return to an akolute Government, and the continuance of martial law; the latter is disposed to resort to the forms of the Constitution. The part taken by the QUEEN MOTHER Will probably decide which of the two will gain the ascendancy. RONCALI has announced his entry into Carthagena, in a dispatch to the Minister of War. He states that the chiefs of the late insurrection have escaped from the city, and that he has secured only a few of the subordinates, whom he deems unworthy of the bullets he had destined for the leaders. The Three per Cents. were done at 36i at sixty days, the Fives at 231 at sixty days. The French funds were slightly affected on Satur day by a report that an attempt had been made on the life of the Duchess of ORLEANS on the previous day. The following account of the incident that gave rise to the rumour is given in the Moniteur : " This morning (Friday), at the church of Chauchat, a man, who was in the gallery, in front of that occupied by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Orleans, made some gestures which drew upon him the attention of the persons placed in the church to keep order. At the mo ment that they were ordering the individual to quit the church, he drew a very small dagger from his pocket, without, however, appearing to have any intention of using it. He was taken out of the chapel, and recog nisf-d as a German by birth, who in general resides in Hanover, and whose mental faculties are deranged." The account of the affair given by the Paine rather varies from the above : " The commencement of the Bourse (says the Petrie) was great'y agitated to-day. People who pretended to be well informed, stated that the Duchess of Orleans bad escaped becoming the victim of an assassin in going to pay her de vot i ons at the new Evangelical church in the Rue Chauchat—that a man `armed with a puignard, had rushed upon her, and that an officer in the service had warded off the blow by receiving it himself. The ru mour of such an attempt made against a Princess so kistly popular as her R oya l Highness, created an im mense sensation. The rumour at first lowered the Three per Cents. 25c., but fortunately the Bourse is not far from the Rue Chauchat, and as soon as the real truth was known, the Funds rose again to 83. The fol lowing is the truth, according to information taken on ale spot :—A man of about 50 years of age, pretty well doctrine of Ministerial responsibility and public control over official action ; the language and the votes of Mr. SCARLETT halted between large pro fessions of abstract constitutional opinions, —and dan gerous concessions to proposals for their practical discouragement and defeat. Mr. SCARLETT was at all times too strongly imbued with the impressions and doctrine of a high prerogative lawyer to be a good Whig ;—we do not concern ourselves to know how far his Whig habitudes and associations damaged his Tory or Conservative utility. We shall always in sist upon the fact, that his conduct was to be deplored for the sanction it afforded to that laxity, or facility, of political principle, the example of which became a sort of epidemic in succeeding years. At the har, as a leading counsel, the name of SCARLETT Kill ever stand among the highest on the list of accomplished, astute, and winning advocates. His knowledge of men, which was extensive and well digested, he brought to bear on what " al ways aptly termed his " management " of jurors ; and his capacity in this art was pro found. He wielded it through a long and dis tinguished forensic career, with a success absolutely marvellous. It would have conduced much to his reputation as a judge, could he have forgotten, on the bench, the habits of thinking and modes of arraying facts and evidence which had achieved for him so signal a reputation at the bar. But on the seat of justice, Lord Anrsasa always appeared, to us, haunted by a sort of involuntary partisanship; and if this was the error of his judicial conclusions, he was liable to occasional errors still more grate, both of temper and discretion. We are loth to exceed, in our notice of the dead, the limits of a temperate and even a lenient censure; nevertheless, we cannot abstain from re marking, that, were we personally interested in the posthumous reputation of the deceased nobleman, w should have been better pleased that his career had closed upon him as Sir JAMES SCARLETT than as Lord ARINGER; and better still if on Mr., than on Sir James, SCARLETT. dressed, had been pointed out to the police as being furiously deranged. A peace officer seeing him enter the cltur , th where the Duchess of Orleans was, rushed to stop him. A struggle ensued, and the officer received o'i the hand a blow from a poignard. He, however, overcame the man, who was carried to a place in the neighbourhood and searched, when another knife was found upon him. The affair, as may be conceived, made a great sensation in the church, and the Princess, who was in a raised gallery, having asked what was the matter, was informed that a thief had b en made pri soner. But the rumour in travelling increased and im proved, and we know what it became by the time it reached the Bourse, when it so happened that they had no other rumours of any kind to talk about." The Massager publishes a long report from the Duke D'AUMALE, Commandant of the province of Constantine, on the expedition in the Ziban, and on the commencement of the operations in the chain of the Aures mountains. It appears that the army has overrun all the oases known under the name of the Ziban, in the first plains of the desert, has drive❑ off the Caliph who governed the district in the name of ABD-EL-KADER, and dispersed the troops sent against it. In a rather sharp action that took place at Mechoueche, the Duke de MONTPENSTER, who was engaged with the army for the first time, was slightly wounded in the face. The repeal of the stamp duties on new:papers has been carried in the Chamber of Deputies by a ma jority of 6, the numbers being, for the motion brought forward by M. de MONTLAVILLE, 146; against it, 140. The proposal was strongly opposed by the Minister of Finance on behalf of the Cabinet, princi pally on the ground that the revenue could not spare so large a sum as that raised by the duty. There is little intelligence from Italy in these papers beyond what has been already published. A letter from Stockholm, dated the 22d ult., com municates the death of the KING'S foster brother, General CAMPS, and gives the details of the post mortem examination of the remains of the late Mo narch : "General Camps, the foster brother of the late King, and who had for many years been one of his Aides-de- Camp, has closely folloAed his master to the tomb. He died the day before yesterday. Of all the French who came into Sweden with the Prince Royal in 1810, the General was the last survivor. The obsequies of the deceased monarch are announced for April 27. Our journals publish the report of the autopsy, made by the celebrated Retzius, in the presence of ail the witnesses required by the ceremonial in such cases. Externally there is nothing anormal but the scars of a gun-shot wound in the head, and of a wound in the thigh from a "ince; but it is ascertained that there was in the brain I..mollitio alba, or a softening of the fornix; some serous effusions and morbid adhesions, and in the arteries of the lower members the ravages of the gangrene senilis.' The process of embalment is now going on. General Count de Lowenheim (our late minister at Vienna), is to be the bearer of the letters to the King of the French, and other generals will carry them to London, Vienna, St. Petersburgh, Berlin, Copenhagen, and Munich. The States-General are about to be convoked. The King will be crowned in Sweden in the course of the summer, and later in Norway."

BURY ST. EDMUND'S, APRIL 7.—Lord. Abinger is dead. His Lordship expired this day (Sunday), at pre cisely a quarter before two, P.M. His death was tran quil. Lady Abinger and his Lordship's physician left Bury for town about six o'clock. The remains of his Lordship will be removed on Tuesday. As• all matters connected with the Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer are now subjects of history, it may be interesting to state that the present Lady Abinger was formerly Mrs. Ridley, the widow of the late Rev. Mr. Ridley, of Ockley-green, near Ripley, whose hus band was a descendant of the celebrated Protestant martyr, Bishop Ridley. Among other relics of this pious individual in the possession of Lady Abinger, is the chair in which he used to study. FLANDERS MAIL. gRUSSELB, APRIL s.—The King has received the letter by which his Maiesty, the King of Sweden and Norway, notifies to his Majesty the decease of his Ma jest,' King John Charles XIV., and hi s own access i on to : n h o e urn throne,irig for O three ire this lv t eek ic s c , a c s ( i ) o m n in the c King will go into this day. We have spoken of a plan of the R uss i an Govern ment for the conversion of the Polish d e b t bearing e in terest at five per cent. We have now before us the list of the ukase. The first article is as follows :—" The holders of the Five per Cent. Stock have the option of exchtingirg the Five per Cent. Stock for a new Four per Cent. Stock, or of receiving the capital in ready money on the conditions and at the periods which will be here after fixed." _ On this occasion we cannot but remark that there has, perhaps, never before been seen in Europe a similar financial fact, consisting in a perfect unifv,rmity of sys tem, a great equality in the conditions of interest, and sufficient confi:lence in the capitalist to attach almost as much value to the funds of the poor States as to those of the rich, Spain and Portugal alone excepted. avnerdyth happy prospects. The ere is not too great Letters from Frankfort of the 29th of M a r c h, say : O Easterr manufacturers e opens i satisfied, t d h , an abundance of goods as has been the case at preceding fairs. The increase in the prices of raw materials has permitted the manufacturers to charge high prices for their goods. many years made the greatest sacrifices of blood and treasure to a cause with which the people have no concern without deriving tiny advantage from it, which, .in fact, no reflecting person ever expected. Yet it appears that further sacrifices are contemplated which, it they should be made, must render the Greek cause still more unpopular. Much money has been sent from Bavaria t o Greece; thousands of our coun trymen have there found an early grave, and the remnant of them have returned home wretched and miserable, we may say, from exile. The Greek Go vernment is in the ..most pressing financial distress. The protecting Powers have refused all further ap plications for pecuniary aid, as not even the interest on former loans has been paid. But the King has now opened a negotiation with the house of Roths child to contract a loan to the amount of several mil lions of drachmas. This house, as we learn, from good authority, is not indisposed to accede to the proposal, but it requires, as a condition, the assent of our Crown Prince, who holds his court at Bamburg. The Crown Prince appears to be of opinion that this sum will be a burden on us, and yet will not -fill up the abyss Of the Greek financial distress. If he per sist in his refusal, the house of Rothschild will de cline the contract. —Hamburgh Papers, April 5. 1 HAMBURGH MAIL. FRANKFORT, MARCH 30.—A German Sovereign, who hitherto bore the Ducal title, intends, it is said, to assume that of Grand Duke. Negotiations on this subject were, it seems, opened - some months ago with some German Courts, which were the more dis posed to recognise the new title, as States took an interest in it which do not belong to the German Confederaticn, to which the right of deciding apper tains. The revenues of the Sovereign in question are, besides, more considerable than those of some Princes of the Confederation who now bear the title of Grand Duke; and the extent and population of his territories, likewise, exceed those of some Grand Duchies. It can, therefore, be hardly doubted, that the proposed new title will be approved of. The object of Prince Albert's visit to Gotha is sup posed to be the regulation of family matters, especially the division of the p r i va t e p ro p er ty left by his father, the late Duke. It is well known that the deceased was very economical, and since, as it is now affirmed, that sums paid by P russ i a f or the lordship of St. Wendel, on the left bank of the Rhine, which was ceded into it, went into the private coffers of the Duke, the amount of his property is stated at seve ral millions. WARSAW, MARCH 23.—Foreign journals still re port that the Prince of Warsaw thinks of retiring from his high office. I an, however, able to state, on good authority, th a t h e never had an idea of quitting a post i n w hi c h h e h as suc ceeded, by hu manity and st r i c t j ust i ce, in gaining the esteem and gratitude of all parties. The best-informed persons know to a certainty that the Emperor has never given even the slightest intimation of an intention to recal the Prince, who justly enjoys his entire confidence, and by his mild a dministration has gained more than ever could have been effected by rigour. The Field Mar s h a l w ill no t visit any foreign watering-places this summer, but immediately after Easter go, as he usually does every year, to St. Pe tersburgh, where he will make a considerable stay. FRANKFORT, MAacH 30.—His Highness the Duke of Nassau received, on Monday last, by an express, the intelligence that his brother, Prince Adolphus, would not be able to be a t Wiesbaden, to be present at the Pies, because, in a fit of just anger, he had shot a nobleman in Hungary, who, during a hunting party, in the Prince's presence, wantonly shot two of the Prince's servants. The Duke was deeply affected by this intelligence. MUNICH, MARCH 25.—We are sick of the affairs of Greece, and the Helle no - man ia which was arti ficially produced is succeeded by a well-founded disgust with everything Greek. Bavaria has for 'SUMMARY OF NEWS AND tibltc epinton. " Who rwts 'nay read." FOREIGN. On Thursday at three o'clock the King of the French, attended by General Aymard and the Count de Strada, went to Neuilly, but returned to the Tuileries at five o'clock. In the evening their Majesties received the Duke de Glucksberg, Count Mo'6, the Prefect of Police, and M. Viennet. M. Ferdinand de Lesseps, the French Consul at Bar celona, has arrived in Paris with his wife and two children. The Committee of the Chambers of Peers charged with the examination of the bill on secondary instruc tion has already heard read the first part of the report of the Duke de Broglie. The reading of the second part, which is retarded by a slight indisposition of the Duke, will take place in about a week. Aecording..to the Toulonnais the Labrador was to take her dep.dture on the 3d inst. for Philippeville, for the purpose of bringing his Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensier back to France. The Gazette de Madrid says that 'all difficulties, rela tive to the payment of arrears due to the British Legion, had been adjusted, and the firm of O'Shea and Co. had undertaken to finish the instalments. Messrs. Lujan, Asquerino, and Others, who delivered orations over the grave of Arguelles, had been arrested, and were to be tried for the offence. A Trebizond letter, March 10, says—"'The town of Recht, in the province of Ghilan has , been the theatre of a terrible fire, which consumed the bazaars and several large khans filled with goods. :Recht is one of the most manufacturing towns in Persia, and all the silks' of superior quality which are sent to Europe come from it.

A few days ago, a gentleman of St. Flour, Puy;de- Dome, found, at the . extremity of the ridge of lioffiae, in a spot laid bar e by th e floods, some fossil teeth, sup posed to be those of a tnastodonte. This gigantic ani mal, which has disappeared from the globe, belongs to the class of elephants. Cuvier gave t * .hem the name of mastodonte, on account of the large Conical points with which their molar teeth are furnished. The largest of them is ten centimattres in width, and the smallest six ; their height is from six to seven. The roots have nearly disappeared, but the ivory is inpertect preservation.

The French trade also appears to have -been stimulated by the animation which existed in British fabrics.

There are late accounts from Havannah. The expOiti of produce to Europe were large.

AMERICAN PAPERS. AN OFFER PROMPTLY ACCEPTED.— On Saturday morning the Editor of the Advertiser issued a call for for "four hundred Whig subscribers" to his daily paper—the subscriptions to be paid if the Loco-Foco candidate for the Presidency should be successful. But if, on the contrary, Henry Clay should succeed, no pay would be required. When this offer became known about town, subsCription papers were opened at various places ; and before night the " four hun • dred Whig subscribers " were obtained.—Rochester Democrat. DEATH or SarAzAlt.—We have recently con versed with a man who left the neighbourhood of Santa Fe last summer, who gives us the particulars of the death of the notorious Salazar, the miscreant from whom the Texan Santa Fe prisoners received such brutal treatment while in New Mexico. He was out upon an expedition in the Indian country, stealing horses, and while thus engaged was waylaid, killed and scalped, and his body left a prey to the buzzards and prairie wolves—a fate similar to that to which he consigned some five or six of the unfortu nate Texans who were entrusted to his charge be tween San Miguel and El Paso del Norte. For these acts of more than barbarian cruelty he was ordered to be tried by the Mexican Government; but so isolated is Santa Pe that he found means to escape. A more cruel, relentless, heartless villain probably never lived than Salazar, and it would almost seem an act of re tributive justice that he has thus fallen.—New Or leans Picayune. Mr. Southard, the late Treasurer of New Jersey, whose accounts were lately reported as showing a de ficiency of between 4,000 and 5,000 dolls., has written a letter to the Legislature, in which he offers to secure to the State by bend and mortgage upon unincum bered real estate, the whole amount of the defalcation reported against him. (From the . New Orleans Picayune of March 3.) FATAL DUEL.--A fatal duel was fought on Thurs day last at Vicksburg, between Mr. Hammet, editor of the Vicksburg Whig, (and brother of the Member of Congress from Mississippi,) and Mr. ityan, editor of the Sentinel. They fought with pistols. At the fourth fire Mr. Ryan fell mortally wounded, being shot directly through the lungs. He died within ten minutes. In two, of the previous fires Mr. Hamrnet had been wounded, but the affair was allowed to pro- . ceed. Our readers may recollect that the same par ties had before met and exchanged shots with rifles, and that the difficulty was then arranged upon the ground. They will remember, too, that Mr. Ryan was the successor of Dr. Hagan in the editorial chair, who was killed within the last year. • SUPPOSED MURDER.—WhiIe some labourers were employed clearing away the materials of houses re cently pulled down at. the corner of Walnut and Water-streets—a part of the city of notoriously bad repute—they discovered in the cellar the a human body, buried about six inches below the surface. It is the body of a female, evidently young, for the teeth are quite perfect, habited in an ordinary black silk dress, black hair, fastened up at the back of the head with a comb. The trunk of the body, though disembowelled by decay, is yet in a good state of preservation, but the flesh is quite gone from the head and arms. On the head the hair is .nearly all remaining. After the body was deposited in the earth, a thick coating of lime appears to have been poured over it, doubtless for the double purpose of accelerating decay and preventing any offensive effluvia arising therefrom. Taking this in connexion with the fact of her being attired in an ordinary everyday dress, .there can be little doubt that a murder has been committed. The body is supposed to have lain there two or three years. Three or four years ago a man named Roach resided in the house, who was a widower, and had a daughter about eighteen years of age living with him. This man married a second time, and it was well known that both he and his second wife severely ill-treated this daughter; for she was often seen with her eyes black and her body bruised. At last she suddenly* disappeared, very soon after which Roach and his wife abruptly left this country for Ireland, and have not since been heard of. The Aurcra says, "the young man sentenced to death for aiding in the escape of a quadroon slave bas been pardoned by the Governor of South Carolina.. He is, however, to be publicly whipped." CHANNEL HARBOURS. We understand that. the Commission for eonsidering the several matters Connected with the Construction of a harbour in the Channel will be composed of the follow ing members : Admiral Sir By am Martin, G.C.8.„ President. Lieut.-General Sir Howard Douglas, Bart., G.C.B. Rear-Admiral Deans Dundas, C.B. Captain. Sir W. Symonds, R.N. Captain John Washington - , R.N. Lieutenant-Colonel Colquhoun, R.A. Lieutenant-Colonel Alderson, R.E. Sir John Pelly. Captain Fisher, R.N. . . • James Walker, Esq., President of the Society of Civil Engineers. Mr. and Lady .Mary Vyner will occupy Earl de Grey's ma ns i on in St. James's-square during the season. '1 he Noble Lord Lieutenant and the Countess de Grey, it is now understood, are not expected to leave the Vice regal Lodge for town until the end of next month, or the first week in .tune. We felt much gratified by the panegyric passed on Sir Henry Pottinger by Sir Robert Peel and by Lord Palmerston, and responded to by the cheers of both sides of the House. This, added to the eulogium from Lord Aberdeen and the Opposition in the House of Lords, pre sents a rare instance of great merit overcoming all party feelings. We ask is this, however, to be the sole reward for all the national sery ices of her Majesty's Plenipotentiary in China ? Her Majesty conferred the title of Baronet on Sir Henry Pottinger 'for his great diplomatic services in India; and when her Majesty again called for Sir Henry- Pottinger's " ability, zeal, firmnes, and discretion," to conduct affair s i n China, those commands were cheerfully obeyed. The issue of Sir Henry's mission is known wherever the British "flag waves. We now ask is Sir Henry Pottinger to retire from public life without some substantial mark of her Majesty's favour? Sir Henry is not a vain man—but he is a proud one. A Peerage, we trust, may he the rep. and of his national services—ser vices unequalled within cur times.—Naval and Mili tary Gazette. The following are from the file of American jour nals received by the Montezuma : A medical man, who has lived in Montreal for some time, has been detected at the head of an organised band of young thieves, who robbed und er hi s direc tion and carried their booty to him. A shopkeeper in good circumstance; and respectably connected is under recognizance for no less a'crime than that of breaking through the partition wall of his own house, into his neighbour's, and robbing him of property to a large amount. SHOCKING MURDER.—The Natchez Courier gives the followingparticularsof a dreadful murder recently perpetrated in Louisiana : A Miss Demoss was killed about the 14th of Fe bruary, near Minden, Claiborne parish, Louisiana. She left the house of a neighbour in the evening to return to the house of her father, a respectable planter, but not arriving, a search was commenced, and a young man, by name Lambwright, was met in the woods. Upon the searching patty proposing to go up a certain branch, he stated that it was no use, he had been there bunting, &c. They did go, however, and found her dead. She had been violated, severely beaten, and then her head was held under water to finish the work of death. Some other circumstances have excited suspicion of Lambwright, but there is no positive evidence against him. He is a young man, married, with one child, and before his marriage had addressed Miss Demoss, and been by her rejected. GENERAL ROSAS AND HIS DAUGHTER.—It is said that Rosas has invested largely in the English funds, with an eye to a future loss of power, but at present there is no appearance o f a change. His only family is a daughter, Dona Manuelita—a young and unmarried lady—handsome, fond of music and of dancing, who, at her father's country residence a few miles out of the city, entertains his numerous visiters with cour tesy and grace—part of the nature of a Spanish girl. The general manner and modes of thought of the fair sex of that fair region, as well as some features in the character of Rosas, are well illustrated by an in cident—the truth of which lam sure of. Rosas had caught a certain Colonel, a bitter enemy, one of the " salvajos Unitarios," and cut off his ears, presenting them to his daughter. La Senorita Manuelita pre served them among the valuables of her parlour table, and when exhibiting her various curiosities, as young ladies like to do, she would direct the especial atten tion of her visiters to the ears, and narrate, with a sparkling eye and a heightened colour, that they once belonged to her father's enemy, the savage Unitarian Colonel. _ Rat Clear, Th e c Ala Fort r ao h , Th e I Ratta n l'ettnd Clotr1 ( Tgly Tu e colts a 01. p G. °rd N., ee Lord tx nuke of fir,p ip 4, l 2 t o 1 4gig t Pra tglide !qv eas ° tilers ~ I tc 9 tc 25 t , 33 to 40 to 4 ° t e 0 hi7efor — ' o 4le, al 1„ or A "i4 "; or t hY c .._ _ Su for ti this in i gi filly; Wa s 1 St. bluer lo n , , Th ast 61 4 yrs, Birde (Paid and e but tl Ga lei n, Stt 1( 12 t o 12 t o 13 t, 16 t, 50
