'We subjoin an extract : "The visit of the French frigate Alcmene to Chusan and Shanghae had occasioned much excitement amongst the Chinese along the coast, so that it was considered eminently desirable that a strong naval force should be kept in the north for the protection of British life and property against the outbreaks of the mob. The Ame rican and French men-of-war Brandywine, St. Louis, Cleopatra, and Alcmene, had arrived akost simulta neously in the Chinese waters. It is in no spirit of jealous exclusivcness that we entertain the most serious appre hensions of disturbance ari sing from the presence of foreigners whose conduct towards men of different man ners from themselves has always been petulant, irri tating, and overbearing. What business the French haVe in risking the peace of their neighbours by scatter • ing their ships over the world for the gratification of national vanity, we cannot discover. We will venture to affirm that the gross value of their entire trade within the tropics would not pay by half the maintenance of the men-of-war dodging about in the torrid zone on pre tence of protecting it." The same writer remarks that he had thought the matter (the presence and ',interference of other Eu ropean vessels besides the English ones at the ports newly conceded to the resort of English commerce) "had been settled, by the provisions of the supple mentary treaty," that nothing can be more calcu- lated to produce " embroilment and turmoil" than French and American interference with a people of whom they know nothing, whose prejudices they can neither appreciate nor respect, and whom they even exceed in vainglorious boasting ;—that at Canton, the excitement of the mob, and their aversion for fo reigners, had again broken out in acts of violence, which were exa•Terated by the accidental elevation of an arrow as the weather index-point on the top of a flagstaff before the residence of the United States Consul ;—that whilst under the direction of that gentleman a party of sailors were hauling down this obnoxious index, a part of the mob had precipitated themselves into the square, and threatened mischief which appears, however, to have been averted. It is further stated, in a letter from Hong-Kong of the 19th of July, that a native mob had not only broken into the square of the American Factory, but had actually endeavoured to pull down the American standard ; that they were successfully resisted ; but an that a Chin ese , t be innocent and unconcerned shop keeper, who happ ened looking on at the time, was unfortunately shot, and that, at ten at night, the Chinese soldiers entered the square, and cleared it ; that the populace remained, however, very violent; ' , And Canton was placarded with threatenin g notices , poker that ha whatever t that the factories would be attacked and burned. h The Chinese authorities appear to have no over the mob, and it seems to be thou some strong and decided measures are taken by u s t h ere unless will be no safety for either life or property at Canto n ." In all this there is much food for reflection—p oss i. bly some ground for apprehension. With regard to the , visits of the Alcmene and the other French ships of war to Chusan and Shanghae, we remarked, at the time their sailing was ostentatiously announced by the' organs of the French Government, that we thought their destination had been projected in the worst possible taste. The over-eager avidity with which the opportunity was seized for a flimsily concealed design of creeping along in the wake 01 our victorious cruizers, to reap any possible advan tage which the peaceful and honourable close of our operations might have left open to the designs of others who had no sort of share in the previous fight ing, hardships, and sacrifices, by dint of which we had consummated the settlement of our existing relations with China—wilts be well remembered by our readers. They will fully participate in the deprecations of the v.ivtiter in the BomlArty TinteS• We are not aware, however, of any authority or right which we pos sessed, had the French previously, even, enacted the tragi-comic burletta of their descent upon Otaheite, to question the " business of the latter," whilst we were negotiating the Pottinger Treaty, " in risking the peace of their neighbours," by playing off their squadrons in the waters of China, or elsewhere, "for the gratification of national vanity." If, without any trade to defray the cost of such extravagant follies they will perpetrate them in those distant seas, they must pay the penalty of a favourite caprice —as private individuals do—by standing the brunt of dispropor tionate charges. But how far their mode of indulging this caprice may put in jeopardy the security of life and property with our own subjects, resident within the same regions, is a matter for our legitimate considera tion, and abundant justification for any precautionary measures which the depositories of British authority there may think fit, in the exercise of their official responsibility, to adopt. We are, therefore, fully alive to all the dangers that may accrue from unfortu nate collisions between the native Chinese, and the crews of American and French, or other European ships. Perhaps it is to be regretted that the Pottin ger Treaty contained no effectual stipulations against the admission of other flags into the stipulated Chinese ports, except on terms less favourable than those which we had won for ourselves; but it is not certain that such stipulations could have been, under the circumstances, insisted on by our Plenipotentiary ; or that, if granted to his demands and representations, they would have been ratified by our Government at home. The case of American interests in China, and the manner in which any mal-administration of them, or any dis able enemy. It is the odious, paltry system of Exclu siveness, which for the best part of 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 b~ 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 Morocco 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 MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, ALCALA GALIANO, the Duke DR CASTRO TERRENO, the Mar quis DE MIRAFLORES, &c. The leaders of the Pro gresista party had given up the contest in despair : so it is extremely probable that NARVAEZ 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. sensions between subjects of the United States and those of the Celestial Empire, might compromise the rights and privileges, the property and security of British subjects, living within the EMPEROR'S domi nions—presents additional features of difficulty, and will demand more circumspection in the dealing with, than even the possible objects or results of the French squadron off the Chinese coasts. These additional features consist in the long establishment of the United States Factory, and the extent and variety of the trade carried on by American speculators with the Chinese at Canton ;—in the identity of their lan guage and manners with our own ; and even in the similarity of their costume with our's, this last ele ment of resemblance being far from an insignificant one in the eyes of an Asiatic people. How are they to distinguish between the subjects of a flag with stripes and those of a fiqg with crosses, in the confu- The Three per Cents. were done at 271 at sixty days; the Floating Debt at 61 at sixty days; and the Coupons at 25i at sixty days. The Prince Da JOINVILLE has forwarded another long dispatch to Admiral Mactuu, the Minister of Marine, giving numerous details of the attacks on Tangiers and Alogadore. 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 it has been drawn up by authority to put to shame those jealous Englishmen who would allow the French no merit in silencing the forts of Tangiers. For our selvcs, we see nothing new or extraordinary in the details, but are nevertheless glad that they afford great satisfaction to the French. " The French cannon," says the Constitutionnel, " which have battered down the walls of Mogadore, has at the same time silenced the insolent remarks of the English press on our action at Tangiers. The affairs of Mogadore and Isly are the peremptory reply of our seamen and soldiers to their unworthy calumniators. Unfortunately we have not similar answers to return when the English compare with pride the all-powerful action of their Parliament to the limited action of our Chambers, and the con stitutional independence of their Ministers to that of ours, who are always as it were in leading strings. When the English tell this to us, a country of repre sentative institutions, a country which consequently ought to have the will and the means to make use of its own physical energy in its government, it must be acknowledged that such language is humiliating in the highest degree to a free people." The National thus accounts for the publication of the dispatch, taking care, of course, to show bad feel ing towards England and M. GUIZOT :—" The dis patches just published from the Prince DI JonsviLLE, although they give us nothing new, are yet a com plete, though tardy, reply to the insolent and stupid letters of the officers of the Warspite. Our sailors had been amply revenged by the contempt with which 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. Guieot's Mi nistry. That consideration 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. Guisot 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." sion and resentment of a popular melee ? And yet, on the fact and correctness of this distinction, may be hazarded the valuable lives of English residents and mnouncing that the Government of the Two Sicilies is at present revising its tariffs, with a view to dimi nishing the iuties now pressing on foreign exports. The letter adCs that the Neapolitan Cabinet has re nounced all hope of concluding an advantageous treaty with France, England, and Spain, but that it was on the point of entering into negotiations with the Zollverein. their families in China—the security of their property —or the inviolability of their personal liberty in those ports where we may not have at hand a sufficient protective force. We are glad to find that at Cantor), after the affair of the weathercock, which we have above alluded to (and where, probably, it may turn out that the un designed offence committed by the American Consul was the adoption of a figure hostile and defying in the eyes of a semi-barbarous and Tartar-governed people, namely, an arrow), a very proper step was taken by the resident foreign gentry (English, Ame rican, &c.) They issued a placard, strongly incul cating the maintenance of a good feeling to, and a good understanding with, the natives. Of course otir accredited authorities on the spot must be the best and most competent judges of the course to be taken under such emergencies as have so recently happened, and may so soon again break out. But we may, without presumption, express a hope that it will be a standing principle, for the future, in their admi nistrative and executive proceedings, sedulously to keep up in every Government act, proclamation, order, police regulation, &c., &c., a clear and explicit distinction—an exclusive identification —of English rights, interests, and responsibilities also, as contra distinguished from those of every other foreign na- tion, having established relations in the Chinese ter ritory. The Chinese themselves will be the first to recognise the propriety of these distinctive arrange ments ; and their natural good sense, as well as their respect for tranquillity and order, and their disci plined observance of them, will make them not merely willing observers of, but active auxiliaries in, enforcing arrangements which, whilst they wilt pro tect the peaceful foreigner, conforming to the requi sitions of those who represent his own Government, and to the laws of the empire wherein they are esta blished, will not afford the dangerous shelter of diffi culty and confusion in identifying offenders against those laws, to any parties under English jurisdiction. 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 operatives 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 RonEwr Pim, 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 mpracticablc—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 cone 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 parks 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 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 haqteur 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 u p our com plicated social system, freely and fairly face 1 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- 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 this, a great uproar arose, and the Palatine 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 anel a half, and that his son lived in that city, and was entitled to the whole amount. Colonel Hodges, the English Charg6 d'Affairs, 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." The Observateur Suisse states that the Prince D 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 the 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 of the party called Young Italy in London. We now learn that these incorrigible enemies of the public peace are preparing 1 for a new expedition against the Roman States. S'alva 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 service, 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 delay in the arrival of the West India 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 quarter of a century. The bod) 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.

A report prevailed at the latter end of last week that the nineteen brass howitzers said to be missing, had been recast without being entered ; but a printed bill, subsequently issued, offering a reward of 1001. for in formation leading to the detection of the parties guilty of breaking them up or abstracting them from the Royal Arsenal, must remove any impression that they were recast for Government purposes without being entered on any of the books of the departments. The nineteen howitzers of 2i cwt. of brass or gun metal are not the only articles unaccounted for, as four Coehorns, a species of ordnance of the same kind of metal, and weighing l cwt. each, were abstracted from the wharf of the Royal Arsenal some time ago, and although every search and inquiry was made relative to them, no information could ever be obtained to lead to their restoration, or the detection of the parties who must have removed them, whether for an innocent or felonious purpose. - At an inquest held yesterday on the body of a child aged 2} years, who in the temporary absence of the mother, and dressed only in her night-gown, ap proached the grate so near as to set it on fire, and was in consequence nearly roasted alive, and died in three or four hours after, the Coroner remarked, that strange though it seemed, children were frequently burnt to death by the ignition of so light a garment as a cotton night-gown. The surest remedy possible for burns, par ticularly as a first application, was pure flour, when it could be had, and no family should be without some. TITHE COMMUTATION.—Yesterday a Parliamen tary document, which was moved for by Mr. Manners Sutton, was printed, embracing returns of all agree ments for the commutation of tithes which have been confirmed by the Tithe Commissioners in the several counties of England and Wales, from the Ist of January to the Ist of July last, specifying also in each case the amount of rent-charge agreed to be paid in lieu of tithes, and showing whether the same be payable to appro priators, impropriators, or clerical incumbents ; of all awards for the commutation of tithes which have been confirmed by the Tithe Commissioners in the several counties of England and Wales in the same period ; and also of all appointments of rent-charges in the period mentioned. It appears that under the first branch— agreements f or t h e commutat i on o f tith es which have been confirmed by the Commissioners—the balance in crease in was 6911. 17s. Od., which, with the in former returns of 54,7221. 2s. lid., makes the total increase 55,4641., so that in England and Wales " rent charges" will be the term used, instead of the ancient word " tithe," which existed from the earliest period, and was provided for the support of the clergy. Ey the second head —the awards for the commutation o f t i t h es confirmed by the Commissioners—it is stated, that in England and Wales the total rent-charges of the present return were 92,3601. 6s. 514. ; the total rent-charges of f orme r returns, 856,37 11 . 19s. lid. ; an d t h e total rent charges, 948,7321. ss. 51d. Under the third branch, a return was made of all apportionments confirmed by the ri, he Commissioner:: in the period or six months endin g Li ly ; over Ho: , t h er .)ranches hay , ' reference.

There were % great number of cases of insolvency upon the paper this day, but the greater part of them were unopposed, and the others contained nothing of general interest. IN THE MATTER OF PETER CLARK. The insolvent, who applied for his final order, was opposed by Mr. Sturgeon on behalf of a creditor, Mr. Bean, for the amount of 24/. 10s. The Learned COUNSEL said he was instructed to op pose the insolvent, on the ground that the debt with Mr. Bean had been contracted under a misrepresentation. As the better mode of testing the case, he would at once question the insolvent. Mr. Balmy objected that, by the spirit of the Act, the insolvent was not to be subjected to a second examination without the creditcr first showing cause why he should be so. It was to be inferred that he had satisfied his Honour and the creditors at his first examination. The objection was overruled by the Learned Com missioner, and tha insolvent was examined. He had been a French-polisher, but as by the operation of the income-tax families had been obliged to retrench their expenses he was n, consequence thrown out of employ ment. Under these circumstances he commenced silk weaving, and was recommended to the opposing creditor for the raw material. He dealt with him some time, paying various sums from week to week, until at last, in consequence of a lot of goods proving unsaleable, he was obliged to stop payment. He denied that ho had repre sented to Mr. Bean that he held leases of certain pro perties, or was in possession of valuable pictures.--The final order was granted. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCIIELL and Common Juries.) CORDER V. CAMPBELL AND WIFE. Mr. Baldwin appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Charnock for the defendants. This was an action to recover the sum of 12/. 15s. for work and labour done under the following circumstances : —The plaintiff is a portrait painter, residing and car rying on his profession at No. 7, Queen's-row, Pimlico. The defendant is a publican, varying on business at the Yorkshire Grey, Cheyne-walk, Chelsea. In the summer of 1843 the wife of the defendant, then Mrs. Gould, a widow, and then the proprietress of the Old Swan, Chelsea, employed the plaintiff to paint her own portrait, her daughters, and that of her late husband, which he was to enlarge from a small miniature portrait of him in her possession. The work, it appeared, was performed in workmanlike manner, with the exception of the por trait of the lady, which she stated wa■ " too fat," and that she " wanted to be made a little thinner." The defence was that Mrs. Gould was not married to her present husband (the defendant) after the commence ment of the action, and not until after the portraits were finished and in her possession. After considerable dis cussion, the Learned Under-Sheriff suggested that a verdict should be entered for the plaintiff, with liberty to enter a nonsuit. The parties, having consulted, a verdict was entered acccordingly. UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Charles Wilson, a well-dressed young man, was charged before Mr. Cottingham with stealing a gold watch, value 351., the property of Mr. Morton, of South a mpton- street, Strand. The complainant stated, that on the preceding evening he went to the Surrey Theatre, and while waiting at the pit entrance, there being a crowd of persons there at the time, he noticed the prisoner standing by his side. After a little time the prisoner asked him what o'clock it was, and he (complainant) pulled his watch out of his waist coat pocket and told him. When he returned the watch to his pocket he felt a snap, and immediately missed the watch, which was attached to a gold chain round his neck, and he missed the prisoner from his side, and went after him, and found him walking de liberately away. The complainant added that he oh s( rved the prisoner talking in a low tone of voice to some other persons near him at the time of the robbery, and he gave him into custody. When the prisoner was questioned, he said that he was a tailor at Woolwich, and came up to go to the Surrey Theatre ; that he stood near Mr. Morton at the pit entrance, and finding the place was so crowded he (the prisoner) walked out, with the intention of going to the Victoria Theatre, and that he did not leave as alleged to escape detection, for he had done nothing that he was afraid of. _ _ _ --- Mr. COTTINGHAM said that a serious robbery had been committed, and that it was his duty to reman d t h e pri soner until further inquiries were made on the subject. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. (THIS DAY.) Mr. David Gallico, an interpreter of foreign lan guages, made application to Mr. Hardwick, the presid ing Magistrate, stating that a most determined attempt had been made to assasinate a Mr. Charles Victor, a French artist, residing at No. 46, King -street, Soho square,e in a st a t e o f great su ff er i ng , in six pl aces i n t h e pu bli c A nd l o was hadnow been a t stabbedhstreet,om a and his life in danger. Mr. Gallico th en went on to state that between ten and eleven o'clo c k on T ues d ay n i g h t last a slight quarrel ensued in the coffee-room of the Prince Albert Tavern, in Lisle-street, Leicester-square, between Mr. Victor and a Pole, a professor of languages. Mr. Victor shortly afterwards left the tavern with his antagonist, and on getting into the street the altercation between them was renewed, and me nacing gestures with the fist were made use of by both parties. The Pole was then observed to draw a knife out of his coat pocket and stab Mr. Victor on the left side of the head, the point of the blade striking against the skull bone with great force. Mr. Victor defended himself as well as he was able, but in the scuffle that en sued he received a cut transversely across the right eye, and two stabs of considerable depth on the left cheek. His assailant then broke away from him and made his escape, Police-constable Thomas Middleton, No. 189 of the C division, came up at the instant an d rendered Mr. Vic tor, whose clothing was completely saturated with his blood, every assistance in his power. On unloosening his vest, he was found to have received two more stabs (the most dangerous of his wounds) in the chest. Sur gical aid was instantly procured, and eventually Mr. Victor was removed to his residence. Mr. Hanowielt directed Gibbett, one of the police constables attached to the Court, to immediately inves tigate the matter. Miss PEEL.—The accounts received in town this morning relative to the health of this young lady are more favourable. Sir Charles Clark, the medical attendant, left Dr ay t on M anor yesterday, the danger to Miss Peel having abated, and the symptoms gene rally being improved. The inquiries at Sir R. Peel's private residence to-day were very numerous. - - - BRIGHTON, SEPT. 11.—The Prince of Wales and the Princess Alice, accompanied by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, were taken a carriage drive this morning, soon after ten o'clock, on the cliffs. Their Royal High nesses were out for about an hour. Count Nesselrode and the Baroness Seebach continue at Pegg's Royal York Hotel, under the medical superintendence of Dr. Franz. The change of air has wrought an extraordinary im provement in the health of the Count especially. They will leave Brighton next Monday on a visit to Earl De lawarr, at Buckhurst Park, in Sussex, where they pur pose remaining a short time prior to their departure for London. Accordingto present arrangements the Count will visit Portsmouth before he leaves this country. The town is filling very fast with fashionable company. Among the latest arrivals of distinction are the Countess of Kinnoull and family, in Brunswick-square ; the Earl of Beauchamp, at the Albion Hotel, where the Countess is daily expected freak Worthing ; Sir Francis and Lady Lawley, in Eastern -terrace : Admiral Sir Charles and Colonel Rowley and Lord and Lady Lurgan, at the Norfolk Hotel, where the Countess of Kilmorey, Lady Selina Needham and the Hon. Colonel Needham, are staying. The Countess has just taken a house in Bruns wick-square. The Countess of Glengall continues to occupy apartments at the Bristol Hotel, from whence Lady Heytesbury recently took her departure forlreland APPROACHING ALRRIA.GE IN HIGH LIPE.—We understand, from the best authority, that the Hon. Mrs. Craven, the lovely and accomplished neice to the late Mrs. Fitzherbert, is very shortly to be led to the hymeneal altar by the Marquis de la Force, grandson to the Duke de la Force, and heir to his large property and ancient title. The family is nearly allied to the house of Orleans, and bears one of the most ancient as well as historical names of France. The marriage is to take place in Paris, during the course of the present month.— Post. DEATH.—The Venerable Archdeacon Bathurst, we regret to hear, expired last night, about eleven o'clo c k, at No. 11, Promenad e Vill as , *at a very advanced age. This venerable clergyman bad been for some time in a declining state of health, and arrived here about a fort night since.—Cheltenhans Examiner. I%C AT DZA.RXIITS.
