HAMPTON SPRING RACES.-FRIDAY. The rival attractions of "legitimate " Newmarket, however potent they may have proved with the pro fessional turfites, do not appear to have affected the meeting at Monlsey ; on the contrary the military came out in great strength, and finished a very busy week, with a good day's sport,—the only objection to which was the inconveniently late hour to which it was pro. crastinated, made doubly so by an unwished for change in the weather shortly before the last race. The racing, however interesting to the parties, was not of sufficient public importance to call for more than a bare return. Sweepstakes of 5 sous. each, with 25 added. Once round and a distance.

DxonEEs or PUNISHMENT. —ln the course of an inquest held on Thursday, before Mr. Wakley, at the Model Prison, on the body of a prisoner, who had died of, pOmonary consumption, and who, it was clearly proved, had been treated with great , consideration- and kindness, four witnesses were "examined, all of whom Ivere tinder sentence of seven years' transportation, and on one of th em b e i ng as k e d - for what offence he was sentenced, he replied, " for killing a fowl." Coroner— 'What ! seven years for killing a fowl, and one month fur killing a 'father ! Mr. Wakley then stated that he investigated a ca‘e in which the son had killed his father by stabbing him, under very aggravated circumstances, and that the punishment inflicted was only one month's imprisonment. It was truly lamentable to find that money, or its value, was becoming of more importance than the consideration of human life. LIABILITY OF MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT TO SERVE ON JURIES.—Finsa JURORS.—At the recent session of the reaee for the City of London, held at Guildhall on Saturday last, some delay took place in the formation of the Grand Jury, by the non-attendance of the gentle men summoned, several of whom were fined 101. for not answering to their names, whilst one gentleman, who had been fined on two former occasions for non-attendance, and wished to be excused on the present, was told that he would be excused, but would be placed on the grand jury list of the Central Criminal Court, where he would be en gaged for a week, instead of only about an hour at the session. On the name of Mr. Richard Sanderson being called, Gore, the summoning officer, said that gentleman claimed to be exempt on the ground that he was a Mem ber of Parliament. The Recorder—That will not excuse him from serving whilst the House is not sitting. When was the summons served ? Gore—On the 28th of March. The Recorder—Then the service is not good, and Mr. Sanderson must be excused ; the House was then sitting. Mr. Sanderson was then told that he need not wait. • 'WINDSOR STEEPLE-CHASES.—It having been found that the severe injuries sustained by Mr. Newton's brown gelding Napoleon, in falling in taking * ditch about -10 feet wid e , on the first day of the Windsor Steeple-chases, while running for the Hack Stakes, were of so serious a nature as to preclude all chance of its re covery, it was killed on Wednesday evening. Upon nn ex cnunation then taking place its back was found to be broken. _This makes the third horse which has been ;7 1 ,r0 Yeti in consequence of injuries sustained during c first day's races.

It was then explained by the Chairman that the London. Peace Society, which has now been in existence for nearly twenty-eight years, had never, in the slightest degree, identified itself with any of the political movements of the day, and however much the members of the Society might individually entertain the political opinions embraced in the People's Charter, it would be extremely injudicious to bring them forward OR the pre sent occasion. The resolution was put and carried by accla mation. The Rev. John Jefferson, of Stoke Newington, Secretary of the Society, spoke. at considerable length, enter . ing into arguments deduced from Scripture, in support of the principles fpr which they contended, concluding with moving • a re'olation that the efforts of the Peace Societyto enlighten theTublic mind on Christian principle, and to form a decided public opinion in accordance therewith, were deserving sup - port.

The death of Lord A73'240E14 and the changes which that event must necessarily produce—first, a vacancy fur Horsham, whose present representative becomes a Peer ; next, the all but certain promotion of Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK to the judicial seat in the Exchequer, creating a vacancy for Huntingdon; third, the raising of Sir W. FOLLETT to the Attor ney-Generalship, requiring a new election for Exeter —and, lastly, the acceptance of the Solicitor-Ge neralship, making a vacancy either for Cambridge or for Woodstock—cause considerable speculation as to the result of these elections, and as to the conduct the electoral bodies of these constituencies will pursue. The mere question of Whig or Tory, is one but little raised at election contests now; some broader, aon, an d _ bolder, an d more i n t e lli g ibl e principle of ac than the " me s r o e rn a e sc rn en o d " an important ofa p a subject r ti cul ar p for a r decision ty w itwith a view to the wielding of political power by some favoured leader, is now submitted to the constitu encies. Free trade—abundant and cheap food—mo derate labour, not forced to excess by the necessity of working to procure the means of existence—form the great, the important subjects, now promi nen tly submitted to every constituency. For this change in the subjects upon which the electors have to think and consider, the country is indebted to the Anti- Corn-law League, and to the able and zealous advo cates of that body, in Parliament and out of Parlia ment. And it is a " great fact," that a body of men like the Council of the Anti-Corn-law League, should have been able to bring the public mind into such a state that, even amidst the turmoil of elections, which in this free country hive long been the chosen scenes for the free exercise of every base, and selfish, brutal, and degrading passion ; where freemen have sought to barter their consciences for gold, and their consciousness for liquor—the voice of argument and of truth shall even there be heard and attended tc. The triumphs of London and of Durham—the not inglorious, though unsuccessful, contest of Salisbury, show the strength and power of free trade principles. And although Devizes, Hastings, and Christchurch, gave no laurels to the League, they bore testimony to the energy, the zeal, and the courage, with which the apostles of free trade can disseminate their principles, in places where, some few years back, the men tion of such notions ; would have roused the very stones, against the intruders upon the agricultural sto lidity which then pervaded those boroughs. Not a contest of any kind ought to take place in England, where the voice of the League should not be heard. In every borough, every county, the op portunity ought to be seized of discussing those prin ciples, which, sound as they are, require to be ex plained and expounded to men whose prejudices cause them to dread innovation, and whose ignorance re quires enlightenment. Not a -chance of procuring the return of a free trader should be omitted, and every means should be adopted to call honestly into exercise the franchise in favour of free trade principles, and to prevent that buying and selling of the electoral right, which, in many places, is the only understood notion of free trade at present. But we do not counsel the League, nor do we think it advisable for them, to put forward candidates, and to go to the poll with candidates, when the chance of success, so far from being even remote, is totally impossible. We object to a majority against free trade being compulsorily and needlessly recorded, without necessity, and against all good judgment. We object to any splitting of interests, or apparent alienation from one common liberal purpose, of per- . sons who should be found under the same banners, but who, knowing and feeling a contest hopeless, dis like being forced into it by any persons, or for any purpose whatever. We object to a plan of action which contemplates only defeat, and which seems to ensure complete and apparently entire discomfiture, by excluding' as many friends from the ranki as pos sible. The constituencies of England are, as yet, to a very great extent, corrupt; the seekers and the sought of corruptionists. They must be taught, trained, and drilled, before they can be relied upon in action. As well might raw recruits be put to face veteran soldiers in the open field, as the uninstructed electors be placed against the means that corruption uses. The first great object of the League ought to be to inform, educate, indoctrinate the people, with the knowledge of free trade principles, and the inju rious effects of all monopolies. Show the people that their own true interests consist, not in legislation for a class, but for the whole people—not in aiming at the benefit of the few, but at the good of the many. When they have effected this—and seeing what they have already done, it cannot be long to wait until it be completed—there is not a constituency in the empire to which they may not appeal with confidence of a suc cessful result. The cause of the League is a righteous cause ; it must and will prevail ; and the name of COBDEN will in after ages be heard of, when mono poly is only mentioned, as a monster which he mainly assisted to destroy. The Morning Post and the Morning Herald have got up a " very pretty quarrel"—as Sir Lucius O'Trigger would phrase it—on the subject of the Agricultural Protection Society, which seems ;to be as much disrelished by the„ former, as it is approved by - the latter,. journal. The Post accuses the first Tract of that. Society, which has just issued. from the press, of coldness and insipidity, and of having a de. tided tendency to send the farmers to sleep. The Herald, on the other hand, avers that it is a dispas • sionate appeal to the good sense of the great - body of the people, as to • whether the agrieulturists are not justified in the course which they have taken ; and addA, that " to have filled' such an Address with warm and spirit-stirring exhortations to energetic action, as the Post would recommend, would have been a practical blunder of the most palpable description." It is amusing to see two journals, both professing Toryism, both zealous in its cause, and earnest in their denunciations of the antagonist principle of Reform, thus going to loggerheads together on a sub ject of comparatively little moment, and the exact merits of, which none but themselves can understand. The Herald, it appears, is too tame for the Post—the Post too uncompromising fur the Herald. This is all that we can make out respecting the difference be tween them, except, indeed, that the Herald is of opinion that the present Government is the best of all possible Governments, while the Post insists—to quote a homely adage—that it is "no great shakes?! Yet, despite this discrepancy of sentiment, we frequently find both journals fighting side by side in the ranks of Toryism, and bespattering their mutual opponents with an equal amount of Billingsgate, and, in particular, laying the lash on the unhappy backs of Messrs. COBDEN and Biloxi with all the energy they can muster ; so that we are really not a little perplexed to know what is the reason that they are just now so inveterate with each other. Perhaps they will vouchsafe to enlighten us on this point; and mean while we will proceed to make a few comments on the following diverting passage which appears in the Herald of this morning :—" The predicament of the agricultural body, at present, is that of parties in possession ; and who desire nothing more than to be let alone. They want no new legislation. They require no agitation. Their whole object is to maintain their present posi tion ; and this object will be more effectually achieved, not by raising the country into a flame, but by calm ing, as far as may be, the agitation which has of late years existed." The naiveté of this passage is inexpres sibly entertaining. Who does not know that the mo nopolists " desire nothing more than to be let alone ?'' Who requires to be told that "they want no new legislation ?" Who entertains a doubt that their " whole object is to maintain their present position ?" As a matter of course they are actuated by these feelings, for however injurious mono poly may, be to the rest of the community, those who thrive by it—fatten on it—and turn it to a most profitable account, are naturally anxious to maintain the system just as it is, without the slightest alteration or improvement. But because the mono polists entertain these views, is that a valid reason why the country at large should entertain them ? The boroughmongers were not less anxious to main tain possession of the rotten boroughs ; but Lord GREY, with the people at his back, did not consider this a sufficient argument against Reform. The Herald adds, in reference to the Anti-Corn-law League :—" We should be glad to see the Protection Society endeavour to force from the League, by a public demand, an explicit statement of its real objects. It is almost a unique example of success in the trade of fraud and imposition that a set of men, who will neither tell the public who they are, nor what they are really aiming at, should yet have succeeded in drawing from the public a contribution' of several thousands of pounds." The League, we conceive, has already quite sufficiently explained its " real objects," and surely there is no need that, for the twentieth time at least, it should repeat its ex: planation' Itslreal ;object is to put down monopoly —as our Contemporary knows right well, notwith standing his affected ignorance—to show favour to none, but to see that fair play is given to the indus try and enterprise of all. As for the Herald's cow. , plaint that the League will not " tell the public who ' they are," has not the leader of that great'Con federacy already told the public that he is the son of a Sussex farmer; and does not the whole country know that he is an intelligent Manchester manufacturer, a Member for Stockport, an able speaker, a judicious man of business, an object of fear and abhorrence to Mr. BANRES of Dorsetshire, and a thorn in the side of Sir R. PEEL? If the Herald, on the part of the public, is anxious to gain more particulars respecting the great leader of the League, we dare say' that, on making due application to him, Mr. COBDEN, who is a courteous gentleman, will supply him with all ne cessary information respecting his age, his habits, his studies, where he was christened, and when he was married ! The cause of " Popular Education" is one which, in the abstract, is calculated to enlist the universal suPPort of the 'community. All classes—the noble and the commoner, the rich, the middle, the poor, the des titute, the desolate—have, prima facie, a direct inte rest in its progress, an ultimate interest in its success. For, what is the natural tendency of educationl' What is its inbvitable result (unless in cases where that result is wilfully or wickedly perverted, by means not necessary to be here. recapitulated, but easily to be conceived in connection with "corruptors of youth and teachers of false doctrines") ? This natural ten dency is now to remove, and hereafter to obviate, the brutalizing effects of ignorance. To exalt the intel lectual faculties of our fellow-creatures above the at mosphere of dangerous error and sordid prejudice— to raise their physical condition beyond the degrading influence of that prejudice. and error—these are the elementary principles and objects of education, in its largest sense. It follows, that the true welfare of a State must be identified with the application of such principles, the attainment of such objects in respect of the greatest possible number of its subjeets. In fact, then, we find, accordingly, all men of all shades and divisions of opinion, moral or political, concurring in the doctrine " that it is expedient to provide education for the people." But the instant you prepose any organised - scheme of instruction— any working plan to regulate and define the nature of the learning to be taught, and to provide for the mode and means of communicating it—all this unanimity appears to dissolve. The general proposal, which all hands are eagerly extended to receive, is like a globule of quicksilver. Once touched, it falls into an uncertain number of molecules,—all equally globular and shapeable to the eye, but : diverging in twenty or thirty different lines; and caught up and manipulated, each according to the fancy of tile individual operator by whom it has been seized—all chance of applying the original globule to its -destined purposes is lost. In the same way a large and well conceived plan of instruction for the people seems fated, in this country, to fall in pieces, the instant it is brought into actual contact with the forms .Of practical administration. One party runs off, with his little scheme of exclu sively Scriptural education ; another with a project of exclusively economic instruction ; a third with a theory of purely technic.l initiation ; a fourth, with proposals for a course of tuition devoted entirely to the acquisition of practical acquaintance with manufac tureS, or the processes .of particular trades. All this has beereso visibly shown. in recent examples, memo rable for :the important bearing of the proposals brought , forward, and for the signal failure of those proposals, that we need not insist upon the point. The Facfory Education Bill was a signal exemplification of the -most certain method for defeating a great and good object by the attempt -to secure a minor one, in the shape of patronage to a party. Its failure has ne cessarily left an incredible number of young persons, who are incessantly engaged in .the pursuits of manu facturing labour, without any education at all, lend ing the ultimate fate of a graceless squabble about the ".sore of education to be given, and the " exclu aive control" over it which has been claimed on . behalf of "ministers of the , Established Church." In, the meanwhile what appalling evidences does every day's experience present to us of the necessity for a general scheme of sound, moral, useful educa tion, not limited by the defective scale of the so called " national" system adopted in Ireland, — (which is no more than a mere Board monopoly) —nor yet to the halting progress of our parochial system in England, which, though better, is very in complete, and badly superintended ! The multipli cation of crimes, and the increasing intensity of their character, against order, property, and life, are ter rible indications of the volcanic evils that are in active combination, as it were, beneath the surface of society. We are unwilling to particularise in order to corroborate this assertion ; for we deeply feel the responsibility of all journals in these days, in giving publicity to frightful excesses and enormities of sanguinary guilt that operate (we greatly fear) to encourage in the more ignorant masses of our popu lation, a hideous monomania. With the habitual contemplation of great crimes, even cultivated minds lose the healthful instinct of involun tary repugnance and disgust, which only gives place, first, to a species of morbid curiosity as to details; then to an apathetic toleration of their horrorsifinally, to a Mysterious excitement of imi tation. In proportion to the uncultivated character of the mind to which such descriptions thus address themselves, is the feebleness of the innate and original principle of abhorrence they should be calculated to excite. The recent cases at Taunton—the suicides and murders that have still more recently occurred in one family at Deptford—but we must close the dismal list we have but half unfolded, with that which yes terday added to the bloody record, the overwhelming tragedy at Whitwell, in Norfolk, with its four infant victims -to the brutal frenzy of a father (!)—these are catastrophes that appeal, with the solemnity and force of voices issuing from the' tomb, for preventive legis lation. Let those who Imagine that the duty of edu • eating the people is accomplished by a strict ad herence • to this or that particular canon of even "evangelical" teaching, as it is called, learn from the last atrocity we have . just enumerated, the absurdity of supposing that such a course of training necessarily constitutes all that it is indispensable fre. 'We run no risk of poorerpre judging the case ses of to l learn, , with the evidence of the witnesses and his own confession before us, in saying ase k a that his awful fanaticism hai perpetrated one of the most inconceivable and ,ghastly crimes which ever stained the annals of civilised society. Who will ven ture to predict that it may not be proved hereafter that this wretched culprit WAS one of the " Bible without-note-or-comment" school, who have long been claiming infallibility for this their " one " an l " all-sufficing" educational dogma? It appears that the man was originally A _Methodist Ranting preacher ; afterwards a. minister of a new sect called the "Revivalists ;" and that after slaughtering his four innocent children—the eldest of them but five years old, the youngest ten weeks—" he was con veyed to Norwich Castle, singing psalms the whole way !" It is scarcely necessary to add, what our readers will have anticipated, that the miserable man, in answer to those who questioned him, ex pressed his conviction .that " he had done well in what he had done ;" for this is but an ordinary phase of fanatical prepossession in perpetrating crimes, front JOHN of Munster down to Naei.oe, the Quaker. But we do hope and trust that those into whose hands the business, or direction, or control of a large and bene ficial scheme of popular education may hereafter fall, will feel it to be their first duty to inculcate'in'the minds of the young the primary duties of man to his Gon, and to his fellow-creatures, to his family or kindred, and to society; the reciprocal duties of obedience and protection between a parent and child,—and State and parent. Let these elementary principles of cha rity and goodwill be the first and chiefest moral les son impressed on every pupil. The internecine struggles and atrocities related of the Jewish people, in the earlier periods of their history, and their im placable opponents, may be better be taught when the pupil's mind is sufficiently matured to note the difference between the traditional authority for dread ful facts—unquestionable as it is,—and their applica tion as any rtde of duty of conduct. The. Madrid 'journals of the sth are chiefly filled with details of the religious ceremonies observed on Good Friday. 'lie Cabinet, it appears, has had a meeting relative to the proposed alterations concerning the press, and it was understood that an ordonnance on the subject would Ase published forthwith, and also for declaring martial law at an end. The Depu ties, who had been imprisoned now for three months, had been allowed to receive the visits of their friends, and great crowds took advantage of the circumstance to leave their names at the prison. The Bourse remained closed. The affairs of Otaheite egain occupy the attention of the Path journalists. The, arrival of an officer with dispatches from Admiral DursTrr Moran has excited considerable curiosity ; and, as the Govern ment appear anxious to conceal their contents, some of the Opposition papers infer that the intelligence from that quarter is not favourable. The Siecle, however, asserts the contrary, and states that the delay in publishing the documents arises from the embarrassment into which the Government is thrown by disowning so hastily the sets of a public func tionary, who had merited well of his country. "The officer arrived from Otaheite," says that journal, " with dispatches from Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS, and who is said to have brought a most favourable account of the colony since the establishment of our sovereignty, must have been in no slight degree as tounded at the reception he has met with. He ex pected congratulations, apd. perhaps an ovation ; but Endi that a sentence of disavowal has been pro nounced, even without that vuomadon 4,5 to Dir. cumstances which he, no doubt, was commissioned to lay before the Minister of Marine. The advent of this officer, who was a member of the Commission for insuring respect to the protectorate of France, and has since been Aide-de-Camp to Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS, is a political event of incontestible gravity. The disavowal by the Government has not yet been discussed and decided upon by the Chamber, thanks to the humility of the Ministry, which has dis pensed with an approval, and contented itself with a suspension of sentence of condemnation. The Ministry owes to the Chamber and the country a full communication of all that has now come "to its knowledge." The National also calls for explanation on two grounds. " Either the dispatches," it says, " justify the conduct of the Admiral towards Queen POMARE, or they justify the Government which has censured the conduct of the Admiral. In the latter case, the Government owes to the country and'. to itself to make known the docu ments; in the. contrary case, - it owes to the country and to itself to retract a disavowal which it made too hastily." The. affairlit is expected will be brought before the Chambirs in a few days. From another source we learn that Queen PoMARE is not the only person with whom the Admiral has quarrelled. Some of his own countrymen had rebelled against his au thority, and the disputes became so serious that he was obliged tO'eXpel them from the island. The fol lowing is the account given of the transaction taken from the Journal du Havre : " Scarcely had the Governor-General been installed, when he bad to contend against difficulties which, this time, were not got up by the, English, but by our fellow-countrymen themselves. It appears that several Frenchmen established in the island have experienced some prejudice in their inte rests from our having taken possession of the country, and have complained much of M. Moerenhout, who was the French Consul, but whd; since our occupation, has been promoted to the post of director of the interior of the new colony. The charges brought against this functionary were laid before the Governor-General, who did not consider them to be well founded. The persons who complained of injury to their in terests, instead of waiting patiently for a more opportune mo ment to demand justice, persisted in their accusations, and in such terms that the Govenior-General thought it necessary to expel them from the island. Among these we may men tion Al. Desentis, who received orders to quit, and who eventually took his departure in the Jonas, of Nantes. M. Desentis intends to appeal to the Council of State, not merely against M. Moerenhout, but also against Admiral Dupetit Thottars. We shall not go farther now in our reve lations of the details which have reached us, and which are of a nature to give pain to all , men, who desire that the name of France Aliould be respected in those distant coin,- trik s." M. REINE, the officer who brought over the dis patches, had an interview with the KING on Wednes day, in the presence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Marine, and blarshal SOULT: He afterwards proceeded to the British Embassy, and, had an interview with Lord COWLEY. The Railway Committees for the two lines - to Bordeaux and Lyons were constituted on Thursday, when M. DE LAMARTISE was chosen President for the latter line, and M. DIITAERE for that to Bordeaux. A petition in three parts, calling for the immediate abolition of slavery in the French colonies, signed by workmen and workwomen of Paris, has been pre sented to the chamber by Messrs. ISAMBERT, DE LA• MARTINE, and AGENOR DE GASEARIN.

He•was freely backed against Mr. Thesi ger, at considerable odds, whilst Mr. Godson and Mr. Wortley- were scarcely named. Indeed it is felt by all parties that the two latter gentlemen have not the slightest chance. Mr. Godson as Solicitor-Ge neral, of whom nothing at the Bar was ever heard or Mr. Wortley, who, ever since he had a silk gown, has found to his cost. that he had mistaken his power's to lead! Sir Robert Peel is too good a judge of ta lent, to make either -of them Solicitor-General ; the first might address the Ouse,. ALS he ealls it, -without gaining attention ; the secon4:4oe. -failure both in and out. There is no doubt that Mr. Thesiger is the fa vnurite 'of Bar, but . Mr. Kelly has the talent Neither of them is certain of his seat— Mr. Kelly lose Cnizridge ; Mr. - Thesiger cannot sit for 'Wood stock gra lut the consent of the Duke of Marlbo rough, and that is doubtful; so that the only retugt for Peel's future Solicitor-General is in the borough of Huntingdon. Still we should say that Mr. Kelly's chance is the best. We have been greatly pleased by a survey of th , . improvement , : effected, and in progress, at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. - Statues, casts, &c., by Coade and Seeley, made after the very best models, have been erected in various parts of the grounds, greatly to the embellishment of the scene. One of them, a cast. after Canova, struck us as one of the very best vcc have seen. Danson, Tolbin, and other artists, are at work upon the new subject, and Southby is preparing all his resources. The collection of animals and birds has been very greatly increased, and the condors and ostriches are the finest ever seen in this country. What a change has a few years effected in the public taste ! Formerly all was vanity and dissipa tion —now, the mind and - intellect are catered for, and nowhere mare so than at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. Her Majesty has been pleased to approve the appoint. ment of Sir Frederick Pollock to be Chief Baron of the Exchequer, and of Sir• William •Follett to•be-Attorney 7 General. Vacancies are thus created for Huntingdon and Exeter. We believe that Sir Frederick Pollock will take his seat on Monday, that being the first day of term, unless prevented by the trials now going on at the Old Bailey.

" Who runs may read." POREXGR. On Tuesday afternoon the King of the French, accompanied by General de Rtnigny, M. Fontaine, and two orderly officers, visited St. Cloud, and walked for some time in the park. His Majesty returned to the Tuileries to dinner. In the evening their Majesties received the English Ambassador and Lady Cowley, the Neapolitan Ambassador and the Duchess de Serra Capriola, the Portuguese Minister, the Prince de Wallerstein, Lord Brougham, and many other per sons of distinction. It is said that the mediation of Great Britain has been ac cepted for the settlement of the difference between the King of Sardinia and the Bey of Tunis. Accounts from Berlin of the 3d state, that the Prussian Government contemplates a treaty of commerce with Por tugal. The treaty with the United States will, it is sup posed, come into operation in July. It is drawn up in English and German, and not in French, as has hitherto been the case with treaties. We learn from Cologne that the desire to invest capital in the German railroads is so great that the applications for shares of the intended road from Cologne to Creteld, for which only/2,400;000 Prussian crowns' were required, amounted to 52,908,000 crowns; and for the road from Bonn to Coblentz, for which three millions and a half were wanted, the applica tions amounted to eighteen millions. The Municipal Council of Rheims voted, on the Bth inst., a credit of 1,500,000 f., to guarantee a minimum of interest of 3 per cent. to a capital of 5,000,000 f., which was to be sub scribed in that town by the Company of the Strasburgh Rail road, passing through the valley of the Aisne, Soissons, Rheims, St. Menehould, MOZ, &c. . . At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of Lyons, on the sth inst., to take into consideration the Bill for the rail road between Paris and Chalon, and the interests therein of Lyons in particular, it came to a resolution to petition the Chamber that the road should be continued to Lyons, either by the State or by Companies, and that the two Bills should be both presented and passed this session. The Municipal Council of Metz has come' to a resolution that it will grant an annual sum of 40,000 f., as a guarantee for the payment of the interest on the capital to be embarked in the proposed railroad between Metz and Sarrebruck. The Lyons journals of Wednesday inform us that there has been no fresh disturbance at Rive-de-Gier, but that the miners who have turned out have not yet returned to their work, although they have been offered their former wages. They demand that a tariff shall be drawn up, and signed by the owners of the mines. LAW AND POLICE.. At Guildhall, Julia Regent, aged 17, a girl of the wandering mendicant class, was charged with wilfully. breaking a pane of glass, value 71. 55., in the shop-window at Mr. Boyle's, a jeweller, No. 28, Cheapside, about eight o'clock the preceding evening. Sir Peter Laurie asked the prisoner why she did it ? She replied she wanted to go to prison. Sir Peter Laurie -aid he would give her the full term of punishment, and com mitted her to hard labour for two months. A slight-made, delicate-looking woman, named Jane Thorpe, alias Hindle, apparently about 24 years of age; was charged before Mr. Bingham, at Worship-street, with being implicated in numerous robberies in dwelling-houses, ccitn tnitted by a man named William Hindle, an engineer; who is now in custody on those charges. After hearing the evi-. dance .of the policeman who arrested her, the magistrate ordered her to be remanded, and brought "up again on Mon day fur re-examination with the other prisoner, Edward Proctor, who had been apprehended some days ince at an early hour in the morning in the seine bed with his mother, by Sergeant Teackle, of the H . division of police, on a charge of being concerned with his brothers and two other persons in an extensive system of fraud and plunder, was brought before Mr. Norton, at Lambeth -street, for final examination. The other members of the gang had previously been finally examined, and stood committed for trial. There :are altogether upwards of thirty cases against the prisoners, and the property which they obtained amounted to 7001. or 300/. Sergeant Teackle said that in all his experience he had never had such difficulty in bringing forward witnesses. Mr. Norton paid a merited compliment to the Sergeant for the skill and activity he displayed in apprehending the whole of the gang and bringing them to justice, and com mitted the whole of the prisoners for trial at the present session of the Central Criminal Court.

Nearly two hundred fish were cap tured (with nets) by the fishermen of Worcester and Stourport, in the first open month • and of this number all, with some trifling exceptions; were taken below and within half a mile of the weir at Lineombe, the great ma jority of the fish having actually been netted in the short artificial cutting between the weir and tiro old bed of the riv©r below.-- Worm*" igunfa THE WILLS FORGERIO' —.............---. ~ a ' AY.)
