The following insidious paragraph appears in the Herald of this day :—" We do not recollect a case during the career of the Anti-Corn-law League where their orators singled out and brought promi nently forward any branch of manufacturing industry where the labourers are inadequately paid, although they have luxuriated with great apparent gusto in exposing the distress and destitution of the labourers in agriculture. We have no desire to place the dis tress and destitution of one class of the community against another, in the shape of a palliative, but the conduct of the League in this respect cannot fail to have made an impression upon all reflecting minds, that they have often dealt unfairly with the question, by travelling far abroad — in search of a foil, when they might easily have found as effec tive ones nearer home." Passing the lax and somewhat ambiguous phraseology of this passage, we have to object to it, that it is utterly at variance with fact. It is not merely a simple perversion or misapprehension of truth, but a down right violation of it. So far from the League having ever artfully kept in the back-ground, or boldly denied, the "distress and destitution" of the opera tives in certain branches of "manufacturing in dustry,"it has strenuously insisted on their sufferings, and urged them as one of the principal reasons why the Corn-law which presses so hard upon com mercial activity and enterprise, should be wholly re pealed. Mr. COBDEN has repeatedly alluded to this subject both within and without the walls of Parlia ment, and proved by ,incontrovertible facts that in advocating a total repeal of this oppressive impost, he has been consulting the interests of the workmen quite as much, perhaps even more so, than those of the master-manufacturers. His argument has in variably been—erase the Corn-laws from the statute -. book, give full and .free play to the Operations, of commerce, strike off the maaaeles that now en. ,cumber her limbs, and yon at once enable the mi . players to do greater justice to the employed, in the manufacturing districts you multiply the resources of industry to an extent. which no one can calculate; you cheapen the poor man's provisions, while at the same time you increase his means of procuring them, and bring comfort and competence to dwellings where, for years past, nought has been heard . but the wail of poverty and despair. It is not as s. question of class-interests that the. League' has ever advocated the abolitionof the Corn-laws, but as one involving the interestisof the whole community. It has not taken up its position on the narrow basis of Self, but on the broad vantage-ground of Humanity. It has had an eye to the poor operative's necessities quite as much as to the wealthy manufacturer's luxu ries ; has shown that the interests of both are the same; that the one cannot thrive without the other thriving in proportion, and that the one cannot suffer without the other suffering also. Could we bring ourselves for an instant to believe that the Corn-laws were nothing more than a mere capitalist's question, and that the rich manufacturer only would reap the benefit of their repeal, assuredly we should not be such zealous supporters of the League as we have been from the period of its first establishment; but it is because we are conscientiously of opinion that the questico is a national one, and that not one, but all classes, the poorer more especially, will benefit by the total aboli tion of a grinding impost—it is for this reason that we are inveterately opposed to the Corn-laws, and friendly to the agitation of the League. In a word, we regard free-trade, and the abolition of all mono polies, as one of the wisest, safest, and most compre hensive schemes that haie yet been devised for increasing the worldly comforts of the poor, for raising them in the social scale, and re uniting them to those classes from whom they have been too long alienated by distrust, jealousy, and a keen sense of hopeless wretchedness. We do not throw out these remarks as Political Economists— who seem to us to regard class-interests rather than the interests of the masses, and are too often callous and crochety in their views—but rather as men who, wedded to no particular theories, however plausible they may appear, would adopt the most obvious and common sense means that may present themselves, for improving the condition of the poor generally throughout the country. " Young England" is just now turning its attention in an enlightened spirit to this important matter, therefore, despite its occasional eccentricities, we are favourably disposed bwards " Young England;" the League is advocating with equal ardour the cause of the poor and the oppressed, therefore, we are cordial approvers of the League's policy also, and entertain a firm conviction that its efforts at no distant period will be crowned with complete success. Hitherto the Premier's financial ventures have been favoured with a marvellous succession of fair wea ther. With whatever temerity he has embarked on enterprises from which his friends and his foes would have equally dissuaded him, there can be no question that he has always had " lucky runs," and got into port under circumstances that would have probably swamped many bolder and more resolute statesmen. To one so confident in his star, " light airs" from i n auspicious quarters may blow, it seems, unheeded. Probably the recent meetings which have been held to petition the Legislature for the repeal of the malt tax and the tea duties, are regarded only as "gentle breezes" by him who has sailed, in three successive seasons, through all the hurricanes which blow over the expanse affected by " the property-tax ;" yet we think we may predict for him some coming tempests which he will find it more difficult to weather than he anticipates. The little breeze, of which he may now make small account, will soon increase into a raging gale, blowing from all quarters. In other word.", Sir ROBERT will soon learn the formidable issue of that scheme of currency, which he has sacrificed the position and fortunes of so many in the attempt to uphold, regardless, alike, of the cruelty and the impolicy of leaving the underpaid and overworked industrious classes to defray the vast bulk of that indirect taxation on commodities which the com pulsory establishment of prices, regulated by a fixed ..heap price of gold, leaves them, in the first place, instead of the wealthier consumers, to defray ; and, in the second, to defray out of wages reduced in a more than corresponding proportion to such dete- riorated prices. Prima facie, therefore, the case which the indus trial classes have to urge is a very powerful one for the repeal of the duties on malt and tea ; two com modities which, as the most essential, are also the most extensively consumed elements of their subsist ence. But the average annual yield of the malt-tax to the public Exchequer is . not less than 5,000,0001., and of the tea duties than 3,000,0001. Now, these appeals for their extinction, or very great reduction, have the prescription of many precedents in a long series of past years in their favour. At no former period had the petitioners so strong an equitable title to the indulgence of Parliament. By their energy, assiduity, patience, and intelligence, manufacturing production throughout all its branches has been not only incredibly improved in all its processes, but has extended the variety and the sum of its fabrics to an amount capable of supplying at any notice the de mands of all the world. Unhappily—(an all important proposition which the. various tracts published by the Society for the Emancipation of Industry have powerfully demonstrated)—there exists no principle of distribution to diffuse these products among the meritorious, but impoverished hands, whose unmiti gated toil has produced them. From the labours of a busy life, devoted to the supply of all that can minister to the comforts and luxuries of those above them, they derive to themselves nothing more than stinted necessaries to support their toilsome career of privation and misery.' It is difficult, then, on the one hand, to deny that they have a reasonable title to ex pect to be relieved, say from 50 per cent., of the taxa tion on tea and on malt. But, on the other hand, it seems as difficult, at least, to conceive how the Premier, whom a property-tax of 5,200,0001. per annum barely enables to tide over the annual expenditure of . he country with a surplus of revenue, the aggre gate of which, is more -than ten times the sum of that tax—is to concede the sacrifice of she 4,000,0001. furming a moiety of the joint product of the duties on malt and tea. Nevertheless there is, in reality, one certain means, one infallible course, open to the Premier, and which we have over and over_ again pressed upon him the necessity for his adopting, upon every consideration connected with his own fame and his country's welfare. Let him repeal his disastrous Gold Standard Bill of 1819 ; let him at once recal his so-called " complement" of that Bill of last year. Let him lower his compulsory bullion principle to the point of compelling the Bank to pay its notes in gold—not at a fancy statutable, cheap price, but at its current, varying, " market" price. Let him thus communicate the true and invaluable power of representation, not of mere arbitrary value, to the incalculable property of this empire, for ever seeking investment, but unable to find it for lack of a safe, because an expensive, circulation. Where the power of circulation is arbitrarily contracted and re pressed, the power of realising and representing pro perty is proportionably destroyed. Had there been such a monetary system as would allow of taxation being added to prices, artisans and labourers would have been now receiving living wages, and the Excise duties would not have been found so in tolerable by that enormous community of consumers. But the whole of this part of the case is excellently put in the following passage from the " Circular" of the Society we have just ,named, addressed to the Lords in July last, and now re-published in their " First Report," of which we shall give an early notice : " That whenever prices expand in this country to a remunerating level—namely, to that just and proper level which permits of taxation being added to natural or gold prices —then, under our ptiesent system, gold, not being permitted to rise in price, becomes the cheapest commodity in the British market, and is sure to be ex ported in preference to our manufactured goods. " That the large amount of taxation in this country, levied first by Customs and Excise on the producing classes, to the extent of about thirty-five millions an• nually, enhances the price of all commodities produced, and consequently requires a circulating medium so ex pansive in its nature as to permit taxation, indirectly levied, to be added to natural price ; without suth a medium, the taxation, for the most part, rests upon the producing classes—au end unjust, impolitic, in its issue ruinous. and wett contemplated by the Legislature when. this forth 6( taxation was .imposed." We have iteetbo Madrid journals of the Ist. Theywe chleflibocenpied with. the PRIM conspiracy; the investigation of the charges, and the indictment drawn up by the Procurator-cal. We have given them under a separate head. On the Ist the discus sion in the Chamber of Deputies on the address was resumed, hut it excited no interest. Later intelli gence announces that, on the 2d the fourth para• graph was adopted by a large majority. The Minis. terial scheme is therefore certain of success ; and report states that NAULVABZ and Co., finding them. themselves so strong, are detetmined to make another inroad on the Constitution, by proposing the follow ing-- paragraph f or a d o pti on :" It will be lawful for the Government, in circumstances of a grave nature, I to suspend the constitutional guarantees, but they shall be required to give an account to the ensuing Cortes, of their baying exercised this discretionary power." The Bourse wa3 closed on the Ist, that day being the Festival of All Saints. The French are at last beginning to see the fatal effects of their isolated commercial system. The Constitutionnel, which is not devoid of nationality, admits that the exports and imports for 1844 will be about the same as those of 1843, but considerably lower than in 1841 ; that any increase which has taken place may be chiefly attributed to the stores sent to the army in Africa, and that the present state of French commercial industry forms a contrast to that of almost every other nation. "The Adminis; tration of Customs," it says, "has just published a table of the commerce, of France with her colonies and foreign countries,. during the year 1843. The imports and exports together amount to 2,179 millions of francs, a sum greater by 100 millions than that of 1842, but lower by eight millions than that of 1841. Iler foreign commerce has, therefore, remained stationary for several years, for it is already known that the results of 1844 will be nearly similar to those of 1843. The imports amount to 1,187 millions, and the exports to 99 millions. But these figures include, at the same time, the comings in and goings out, the transit and the move ment of the entrepots. The imports, that is the foreign goods that have entered into the internal consumption of the kingdom, do not amount in reality to more than 846 millions, and the exports of the produce of the soil and of the manufactures of France to 687 millions only. The second of these sums is lower than that of 1840. Thus, for three years our exports have fallen off, that is, the markets for the produce of our soil and manufactures have been reduced. To fairly appreciate the situation of our foreign com merce, the value of the special commerce, that is of foreign produce consumed amongst us, and the ex ported articles coming from French production, must be separated from the general movement of foreign commerce. It is then found that foreign Powers have taken from our territory and our entrepots 341 millions in imports, and 305 millions in exports. This amount applies to foreign produce which has only touched or crossed our territory, and which consequently interests but very indirectly our com mercial movement with foreign Powers. Thus, the pretended progress pointed out in the analytical summing up of the official document, not only falls to nothing, but it appears that our manufactures have for some years found less demand in foreign mar kets than in 1840. The progress that has been made is entirely in favour of foreigners, who cause a great mass of goods to pass through us, and who take from our entrepots in a greater degree for the commerce which interests them. Now, if it be borne in. mind that the estimates are made in 1840 with official figures which were made up in 1843, it will be easily conceived that the present estimates are far too high, inasmuch as the price of all goods, and par ticularly of those which are the object of our exports, has considerably fallen ; and it will be found that, in order to arrive at the exact expression of the com mercial movement, the official figures must be lowered 10 or 15 per cent. This atnount, so rectified, reduces our exports during the year 1043 to about 600 millions. We ought to point out another circum stance. In 1838 our exports for Algeria were only 18 millions ; they amount in 1843 to 41 millions. What is the nature of these exports ? They consist principally of articles destined for our army ; they are not compensated for by any return, and they ought not in good logic to appear in the amount of foreign commerce. If, in place of having 80,000 men in Al geria, we were to send'there 200,000, the commerce with the colony would be more than doubled ; but would that show an increase in foreign commerce ? Not the least in the world. The consumers would merely have been displaced, and the produce which. they would have consumed in the colony would figure no longer in the amount of the home consumption. Such is our position, and yet the foreign commerce of all nations has of late years assumed a new activity?' " This is the result of an interval of seven years. We have to complain that we never see in France those committees of inquiry which periodically enlighten ' British merchants as to their interests. Still we have a Minister of Commerce, and at the foreign affairs a Director of Foreign Commerce ! But neither M. CUNIN GRIDAINE nor M. GUIZOT has yet thought of imitating the Board of Trade in London." The following is the history of the PRIM con spiracy, as given in Queen CHRISTINA'S paper, the Presse. We leave our readers to estimate its value : " The Spanish Government is increasing in vigilance, inasmuch as it has received positive proof that neither the executions of Barcelona nor those which are immi nent at Madrid, have terrified or discouraged the con spirators. We have received some information on the subject, of which we guarantee the accuracy. It appears that some of the most distinguished men amongst the Progresista party, and who assisted in the movement which overthrew Espartero, assembled at Paris some time since to concert a plan of insurrection, and to agree as to the means of securing its success. After much labour they succeeded in perspective beyond their expectations. Their friends in Spain were devoted to them, and only waited the signal. The most difficult to gain over were the Catalonian patriots, who retain a violent hatred of Espartero in consequence of his connexion with England, now more intimate than ever, and which threatens their manufactures. One of the most wealthy manufacturers of Barcelona, who took a principal part in the affairs of 1840, became the inter preter of their feelings. As it was of the utmost import ance to gain over this manufacturer, as well on account of his influence as on account of the money which he might be induced to contribute, a formal declaration was promised him, by which Espartero engaged not to make any commercial concession to England. This was pro cured from London, and this manufacturer advanced 150,000 reals—about 39,100 f. The Committee, composed of the political personages already mentioned, distributed that money, and more which was received from London. Spain was divided into five sections, and each of the per sons present took one. The points designed were Ma drid, Barcelona, Saragossa, Valencia, and Pampeluna. The day fixed for the commencement of the insurrection was the 10th of October, the opening of the Cortes. A dif ference of opinion, however, arose on this subject, the less violent being of opinion that the coincidence of the in surrection with the Queen's anniversary might create an opinion that an attempt on royalty was contemplated. In reply to this objection, it was observed, that it was no longer possible to restrain the patriots of Madrid, of Barcelona, and of Saragossa, and that there was no time to be lost. Orders were, in consequence, issued to com mence. The best news arrived from Madrid. A letter was shown to those who hesitated from M. C-, a po litician of the greatest capacity and a most brilliant pub lic writer, who would be the most dangerous revolu • tionist in Spain did his courage equal the boldness of his opinions. . . . Under the same envelope was re ceived a short note from General S---, who declared that his sole desire was to prove his sincere repentance for his conduct last year. Every one knows in what man ner the events responded to such warm expectations. At present the conspirators, in their disappointment, men. every one. Prim was an unsteady character, who al lowed himself to be carried away by his ill-humour and his desire to finish the affair, and trusted himself to wretches unworthy of his confidence. C- is a mat devoid of courage, except in his study. Colot:el G--- is a madman, who will not hear of any reconciliation with the men wholfigured in the last pronunciamiento, and without whose aid success was impossible. General 5- assumes the air of Fabius Cunctator, who is wait ing the course of events, and he is particularly blamed." The Moniteur publishes a royal ordonnance for the new organisation of the Ministry of War, in virtue of the law of July 24, 1843, on the Budget. The prin cipal change consists in a special oaganisation of the department relative to military plans and statistics. The salary of the Director- General of this department is fixed at 20,000 f. a year ; the sub-chiefs are each to receive 4,000 f.; the chief clerks, draftsmen, and en gravers, 3,500 f. each ; the other employs in the same duties are divided into six classes, with salaries of 3,000 f., down to 1,500 f. per annum. It also publishes another royal ordonnance, which directs various measures for the improvement of the con dition of the seamen of the royal navy. Hitherto they had been entitled to an increase on their half pay.only on completing their 65th year. By the . new ordonnauce they are to enjoy "the supplementary allowance of old age" at sixty, and which allowance is rated at from 6f. to 9f. per month, according to the pay they received while in the service. This ordon nance is moreover to have a retrospective effect as re gards those born between the Ist of January, 1780, and 31st of December, 1783, and a yearly sum of 150,000 f. is to be appropriated to that object. Ship carpenters, caulkers, sailmakers. and engineers, in scribed on the registry of the navy, will in future be entitled to the same pensions on retirement for old service and wounds as the operatives and engineers embarked on board the fleet, and the benefit of the new dispositions will also be applied to their widows and orphans.

THE UNITED STATES. The packet-ship England, Captain Bartlett, arrived at Liverpool on Saturday, bringing one day's later news from New York. This solitary date does not con tain any news of interest. FLANDERS MAIL. Bat:rams, Nov. 6.—The Marquis of Douro, eldest son of the Duke of' Wallington, and suite, Lord Stanley and family, General William Crawford and family, arrived the day before yesterday at the Hotel de l'Europe, at Liege. We are assured that the Minister of Public Works is on the point of presenting to the Chamber of Represen tatives an application for a vote of credit of 12,500,000 francs. This sum is divided into 5,500,000 francs, for the railroad from Tournay and Furboise, 6,000,000 for the laying down a.double rail on those lines on which at pre sent there is only one, and 1,000,000 for certain other expenses, among which is a grant to the company for making a railway from St. Trond to Hasselt. The Minister of Justice received on Monday deputa tions from the tribunal of the first instance of Brussels and Ghent, sent to remonstrate, as far as these tribunals are concerned, ag ainst the Ministerial amendments sub mitted to the Ch amber on the debate respecting the aug mentation of the salaries of the magistrates. The mem bers of those deputations assured the Minister that they should prefer the rejection of the measure to the adop tion of the Ministerial plan fixing their salaries. The de bate on this subject is not yet concluded. In the sitting yesterday, M. Castian spoke against the principle of the measure, which was defended by M. Vishaegen in a long speech, which the Chamber appeared to listen to with ap probation. • BELGIAN FUNDS.—Baussna, N•v. 6.

POLISH BALL AT GUILDHALL.,—..We perceive that the Association of the Friends of Poland have again se cured the Guildhall for their benevolent object, and that the annual ball and concert for the benefit of the Polish refugees are to be given there on the 19th. We are informed, that the hall was not granted by the Corpo ration without due inquiry, and that considerable dis cussion arose in the Court of Common Council, on Thursday, on the subject ; as some members doubted whether it might not more properly be employed for the benefit of our own poor. It was, however, clearly de monstrated to the court, that there was no other chari table association in a condition to make the hall available, and therefore the. petition of the Friends of Poland was granted unanimously. The Polish Association deserve credit for having devised a. means of relieving the dis tress of the Poles, without interfering with any other charity ; this circumstance ought to operate in their favour, in addition to the merits of the cause they advo cate. We are glad to hear that their prospects are ex cellent, and we heartily wish them all success. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.—A very numerous meeting of this Club was held on Thursday, the prin cipal subject for consideration being the conduct of Mr. Wilkinson. the"owner of the Phantom, who had refused to deliver up the cup presented to the Club by Captain Cocksedge, and which had on the day of the race been awarded to Mr. Wilkinson, but subsequently to Lord Alfred Paget. Mr. Wilkinson entered into a long state ment. justifying the course he had pursued, and in which he expressed his convictien that the sailing com mittee had no power to entertain the question, the cup having been presented to him strictly in accordance with the laws ; and added, that no notice had been given him to produce evidence before the sailing committee, who had come to a conclusion without hearing the testimony he was in a condition to produce. He was met with the observation, that he had had the same notice as Lord Alfred Paget, and might have produced witnesses, hut he thought fit. After several gentlemen had addressed the meeting at great length, Mr. Reynell proposed a re solution which amounted to p vote of censure on Mr. Wilkinson. Some further discussion followed, when another gentleman, named Wilkinson, moved an amend ment, to the effect that the Club, under the peculiar cir cumstances of the case, considered it inexpedient to en tertain the consideration of the question of Mr. A. Wil kinson's conduct, arid would pass to the consideration of other matters. This amendment was carried by a toler able majority '(many of the members, as it appeared to us, declining to vote), on which Mr. Harrison (Chair man), who considered the division tantamount to a want of confidence in the sailing cominitiee, who were entitled to the support of the memhers, said that his connexion with the Club as its Commodore was at an end, and left the chair. After some slight altercation as to whether other than members had voted, the meeting broke up. ANNIVERSARY OF THE PRINCE OF WALES'S BlRTH DAY.—Saturday being, the third anniversary of the birthday of his Royal Highness the-Prince of Wales, the morning was ushered in by the ringing of a merry peal at the different churches throughout the metropolis. The royal standard was hoisted at the Tower, Somerset House, St. Martin's, St. Giles's, St. Margaret's, the Italian opera, and the usual public edifices. The chil dren belonging to the Welch Schools in Gray's Inn-lane had a holiday on the occasion of the natal day of their Prince, and were regaled with a substantial dinner of roast beef and plum-pudding. At Windsor the day was kept by the different tradespeople who furnish the Castle. During the absence of her Majesty and Prince Albert this week the state apartments at the Castle will be open to the public. PEMBROKE DOCK.—Mt. Brunel has visited Hobb's Pointy on the subject of the Milford branch of the South Wales Railway. The share-list in Pembrokeshire is steadily progressing. The result of the deliberations of the Committee on fortifying the Naval Arsenal at Per,_ broke has not been made public. It is rumoured, ever, that an additional battery is to be constructA some of the adjacent heights. — CarWvon Herald, MONEY ANJI COMMERCIAL NEWS (From The Sun of Ssturday Evening.)

We are bound to state, that as far as respects the: more respectable portion of persons in the line of procession through King William street, they were most hearty in their cheers, and so were by far the great':; number of the casual spectators, whose avocations led them to ,the City. The mob that followed the state carriage Was kept back by the Lan cers, delegated to the duty of escorting the procession. In the rear of the procession the most discordant noises were heard from the mob already referred to. There was not any attempt to exhibit personal indignity to the LOrd Mayor ; as far as we 82%V. The West India advices biOngbt by tin Trent steamer are, upon the whole, satisfactory. The" crops looked well. The vote of 75,0001.- granted by the Combined Court of Demerara, for defraying the expenses of intro ducing 5,000 coolies' from India, had given much satis faction. Almost all the West India islands had felt the shock of another earthquake, especially St. Lucia. Floods and tempests had visited all parts, and at Montego Bay a great deal of damage had been done to the shipping and store-houses:, attended with serious loss of life. The Jamaica House of Assembly had been summoned to meet for th-e dispatch of business on the 15th of the last month. At Barbadoes a most friendly-spirit appears to exist between the Governor and the House of Assembly. The Trent brought' home a most valuible cargo and thirty-three, passengers. Gold, dollars, pearls, aud pia tins, were among the cargo, and a large amount would be ready for the next homeward-bound vessel.

S% NEW STEAM FRIGATE.—At the iron-ship building yard of Mr. Laird, a fine new iron frigate is now build ing. The model, lines, and workmanship of this vessel are excellent, Mr. Laird, who has had considerable ex perience in the construction of iron vessels, having de- , voted his almost undivided attention to her. She is 2.400 tons, 210 teet•long, 37i beam, and 23 feet deep, and is to be fitted with a pair of 282 horse-power steam engines, and tubular boilers, by G. Forrester and Co. The frames ' are as close as strips over butt joints .can allow them, and are sby 4f angle iron The plates are and inch thick, the rivets and 1 inch. She is divided into twelve compartments by the thwartships and longi tudinal bulkheads, forming the coal bunkers. As a ship of war, great attention is paid to her strength, and as far as good material, good workmanship, and the expe rience of the builder, which is considerable, that will be aeosimptished. Judging from her frame, she will com bine the properties of a good sea boat and fast sailer in no ordinary degree. She is about the same depth as the Great Western, but 51 feet longer, and foot wider. — Liverpool Mercury. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OT Ma. SERGEANT AN DREws.—Many painful rumours were rife throughout Friday and Saturday morning at the Courts of West minster Hall, that the above Learned Gentlemen, who was a leader of the Midland Circuit, had made an at tempt at self-destruction, which, on making inquires at his residence at Hampstead-hill, unfortunately proved lzut too true. From the statement of his medical attendant, Mr. Headland, of Guildford-street, it appeared that the Learned Sergeant bad been for some period greatly depressed in spirits, and had passed most of his time in his library. On Thursday it was apparent that the Learned Sergeant seemed un usually depressed, and after breakfast he retired to the library, where, in the course of the morning, Mrs. Andrews had occasion to enter, when she was horror struck at beholding the Learned Gentleman de luged in his 'blood. Losing her presence of mind the lady gate a dreadful scream, which was heard through out the house, and the servants of the household were quickly in attendance. Mr. Evans, of Hampstead, was irnmee:tately sent for, and rendered every assistance whic'n the emergency of the case required. Mr. Head lard, the family surgeon, on being promptly apprised of t'Afte melancholy transaction, lost no time in doing all that human aid could suggest or skill accomplish for his unhappy patient. At a late hour last night a long con sultation . took place between the medical gentlemen, when, weregret to state, the Learned Sergeant was not considered' 00 of danger. Observer, SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Put itc 44ptntott. " Who runs may read." ro~e~ra~. The Prefect of the department of the Manche. M. Ribouet (the Deputy of the department), and M. Noel- Agnes (the-Mayor of Cherbourg), had al audience : of the Ring of the French on Wednesday, to present. an address from the Municipal Council of Cherbourg, ex pressive of their regret at not having had the honour of receiving his Majesty, as they had hoped to do, on his return from England. A letter from Marshal Bugeaud has been received at Perigueux (says the Constitutionneb, stating that the affairs of the East would force him to postpone his re turn to France for upwardS. of a month. It is probable that it will be only temporary, if it be true that the Duke d'Auniale has refused the Viceroyalty, or even the Government-General of Algeria. The Befunne obbetvvs, that the news from Spain may be summed up in two lines. " Blood has been shed at Barcelona. M. Bresson is giving dinners at Madrid." The Municipality of the City of Paris, says one of the journals, has for some tiwe been engagedin the improve• ment , of the public market places. It has repaired those of La Vallee, St. Germain, Blanes Manteaux, St. An toine, La Ma*, &e., and is building an oyster- market in the Rue Montorgeuil. This is not all. The Marc*t des Innocens and its hideous adjuncts are to give way to a Magnificent halle-41ii•ale, and in a few days a con tract will be entered into- for improvements in. ate Mar ' eh% St. Martin. According to the statistics of Puri. (says the Quotidi enne) this city contains only one baker for every 1,664 inhabitants, and but one wine. dealer fur every 83. If this statement be correct, Father Mathew would be a very useful person amongst us. The number of Protestants at present in Bavaria is 1,226.753. In the last four years there has been a n in crease of 25,531 ; in that period 8,805 Protestants emi grated from the kingdom, 281 turned Catholics, end 17g Catholics became Protestants. • A letter from Frankfurt states that the mother of the Rothschilds, who is 93 years of age, is seriously ill. The Eco del Comeicio of Madrid, of the 31st ult., states that suicides in that capital are of daily occur rence. Three persons, one of them a Frenchman, de stroyed themselves on the 29th. The same journal announces that General Prim and his co - -accused had asked to he tried by the ordinary tri bunals. The following are the names of the accomplices of Prim:—Ventura Otlega, Ramon Sanz, Miguel Ferrer; Manuel Marin, Calisto Fernandez, Nicholas de la Bar rara Montenegro, Rafael Garcia, and Miguel Molin. /LAW Aki3l3 POZ.XChIi. The Master of the Rolls on Friday, in giving judg ment in cases for the reduction of bills of costs, many of which were of small amount, said that he was surprised at gentlemen entering into such expensive litigation on such small matters. He could impute it to nothing else than an angry feeling on either side. Such things could be arranged very agreeably otherwise. In the Court of Queen's Bench a rule for a new trial was granted in the case of Edgely v. Tassull, on the ground of excessive damages, and of misconduct on the part of the jury. It appeared that after the jury had been locked up some hours, they sent in a message stat ing that they were completely exhausted, and request ing to be allowed some refreshment. The request was allowed by the attorneys on both sides. The result was rather an extraordinary one. The " exhausted" jury contrived to drink three gallons of stout in about the same number of minutes, which they had no sooner done than they ordered two gallons more, which was refused, and they then almost immediately brought in the verdict in question'. , . Mr. Justice Erie took his seat on Friday as one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas.
