Count Moritz Dietrichstein is a very young mall for the eminent post to which ho has been appointee. He cannot be yet forty years of age. For many years he occupied the post of Charge d'Affaires at the Court of King Leopold, who received him on terms of friendship and intimacy. His nomination may be looked upon as a symptom of the decline of Prince Metternich's influence at the Court of Vienna. The Count's father, in fact, ranks among the pretenders to the political heritage of the Prince Chancellor, with wham, moreover, he has been in some degree of rivalry ever since the Prince has refused to give one of his daughters in marriage to the new Ambassador. Apropos of the Waterloo sword which the Duke of Wellington is said to have worn at the ce remony of il,e Order of the Garter, one of the French journals Jars the following details respecting a sword belong ing to Napoleon with which his Grace was also con nected : " Napoleon had always kept, until 1811, the sword which he wore on the day of his coronation. At that period the remark was made to him that the sword. was not in harmony with the ;Imperial costume. He summoned, therefore, M. Regnault Nitot, his gold smith, and demanded a model for a sword of cere mony. The model was designed, approved by the Emperor, and executed. The Regent diamond, which was on the hilt of the first sword, was taken from it ; and the rest, as well as the blade, were valued, and left in the jeweller's hands as a part of the payment. In 1815 the Emperor was desirous of having back this sword, and Nitot was employed to put it into a. fit state, but the Hundred Days came to a conclusion before Napoleon's: orders could be executed, and M. Nitot remained legitimate possessor of the Imperial sword ; it was a well-known fact, and he himself had mentioned it to an English lady. One day he re ceived a visit from a stranger, who asked him whether it was true that the sword was in his possession, and in that case whether he would dispose of it. :the price was left at his own discretion. " At this period of invasion individual right had to very sure guarantees, and M. Nitot, who had no wish to give up his precious relic, persisted in denying that he had it in his possession. The stranger used every possible entreaty, but without success ; and at last, appearing to comprehend the noble sentiment which dictated the refusal of the jeweller, he expressed his esteem for his conduct in the warmest terms, and, presenting his card, t oo k hi s l eave. I t was the Duke of Wellington. The fact is curious, inasmuch as it proves that if the English General really took, as is pretended, Napoleon's battle sword in the imperial carriage at Waterloo, his fancy to possess another was singular enough. M. Regnault Nitot, who still lives in the neighbourhood of Corbeil, has kept the Em peror's sword with the greatest care, with the inten tion of leaving it'to the Invalides at his death." The Journal du Loiret publishes a letter in refe rence to the amnesty lately published, which describes in very strong colours the sufferings of the prisoners excluded from its benefit. It mentions, among other political prisoners now detained on account of ill health in the hospital of Tours, Laura Gronvelle, as having been driven mad by his imprisonment; and Hubert and Blanqui as victims to diseases contracted in the damp prisons of Mont St. Michel. paper of yestef' No, 16,283, LONDON, THURSDAY, DIORNING . y OCTOBER 24, 1844 PRICE sd.

W. 0. and W. Hunt, 10, Whitehall, London; Messrs. Edward and Charles Castleman, Ringwood. This undertaking, comprising a distance of sixty miles in length, has been entered upon as a further continuation of the lines already made and contemplated on the southern coast. But previous to any application to the public for support, the projectors called a public meeting, which was, in the month of May last, held at Southampton, and consisted of the principal nobility, gentry, and landholders of the county of Dorset and the south-western part of the ceunt.y of Hants. At this meeting a Committee of notlemen and gentlemen of th e greatest influence in both col:aides was no. minate.d to inquire into the practicability of the undertaking, and they appointed Captain W. S. Moorsom, civil engineer, to survey the country between Southampton and Dorchester, to adopt the best line, and to make an estimate of its cost ; and, under the powers 'given him, he appointed Mr. Pare to ascertain what traffic: was likely to support the line, if made. At a subsequent meeting, held at f)orchester on the 19th July last (which was one of the most numerous and influential meetings ever held in the county of Dorset), the Committee appointed at thera former meeting made a roort, from whi c h th e following is an extct : " Your Committee repc,rt, that on this day (the 18th July) Cap tain Moorsom and Mr, Pare (who had been employed by Captain Moorsom under the 'powers given him by us, in the last clause of our instructions, for the purpose of accurately examining into the traffic upon tl'.e proposed line), attended and presented their re. ports. These: reports have undergone a thorough examination by us, and yo':.ir Committee feel justified in laying them before you, and reporting that they are perfectly accurate, and such as will warrant your acting upon them. " Your Committee having duly weighed the statements made to them by Captain Moorsom and Mr. Pare, consider themselves jus tified in reporting to you that there are unusual facilities for con structing a railway from Southampton to Dorchester, by way of Redbridge, Brockenhurst, Burley, Ringwood, Wimborne, Ham worthy, and Wareham; most convenient for the public in general, as well as for the towns in its locality, and that the same can be made for the sum of 450,0001., including all charges. " We further report that the traffic upon the line is sufficient to leave a clear net profit of net less than GI/. per cent. during the first five years, which Mr. Pare has no doubt will be increased subsequently. " Your Committee therefore confidently recommended the immediate formrdion of a Company for carrying out an object so eminently desirable for the county of Dorset and south-western part of the county of Hants. " The friendly assistance and expressions of good-will which Captain Moorsom's surveyors have received in the course of taking up, the line, give evidence that a general support may be relied on, as soon as the main features of the undertaking come to be fully understood. " It is Captain Moorsom's opinion that the line may be opened in twelve months from the time when the possession of the land shall have be,en obtained." It was then unanimously resolved by the meeting that this Corn pany .nould be formed with a capital of 450,000/., in shares of TAO , each, Since the above report of the Committee was made a fresh esti mate of the traffic has been rendered necessary by the additional trade which will flow to it out of the lines projected by the Great Western Railway, from Corsham and Taunton to Yeovil, and thence to Dorchester and Weymouth, with a branch to Bridport. These calculations have justified the Provisional Committee in order to provide bridges and land for a double line, in increasing the capital to 500,0001., upon which Mr. Pare estimates a net return of not less than seven per cent. The advantages of coast lines for Government purposes and for the defence of the country, are too obvious to require comment, and the evident inclination of Parliament shown in the past session, to promote a continuous line of railway along the coast, coupled with the great local support already shown, and the careful exa mination into the estimate of expense and traffic prier to the forma tion of a Company, give to this line the greatest claim to the sup port of the public, as tending to insure both its stability and success. A a arrangement, subject to the sanction of the Board of Trade, has been made for leasing this line to the Great Western Company, that Company guaranteeing 3i per cent. upon the capital, and agreeing to divide the net profits equally with the Shareholders in this Company. Arrangements are also in a state of great forwardness with emi nent contractors for the performance of the entire works, at such a sum as to render certain the completion of the undertaking within the amount and time specified. It is intended to apply to Parliament for an Act in the next ses sion, and the usual clause limiting the liability of Shareholders to the amount of their subscription will be inserted. Applications for shares may be made in the subjoined form to Messrs. W. 0. and W. Hunt, solicitors, 10, Whitehall; to Messrs. Laurence, Cazenove, and Co., Auction Mart, London ; to Messrs.

FOR BILE, INDIGESTION, AND DISORDERS OF THE STOMACH AND LIVER. _ _ _ DR. A. A. HARVEY, of Bath, formerly Sur geon in the East India Company's Service, recommenes to the Public his Family Pills. The great benefits resulting from an efficacious household medicine must be manifest to all. This medicine Is not put forward as a cure for every complaint, but in those cases of sudden and temporary ill ness so frequently occurring in families, it will be found of singular service, as its operation is extremely mild, as well as effectual The large and steadily increasing sale of these Pills, principally from the recommendations of those who have experienced their sa'u tary qualities, is the best proof of their excellence. A few e oses will convince those suffering from Indigestion, from whatever cause arising, that their effects are permanent. They remove obstructions of the Bowels; act upon the Kidneys, stimulating the absorbents to carry off those fluids which might otherwise terminate in Drol sy. They have been found of infinite service both in England and during Or. Harvey's practice in the East Indies, in preventing and curing the Jaundice; in passing off Gall •tenes, and restoring a healthy ac tion to the Liver. Ladies will find them particularly beneficial both before and after their confinement. These truly excellent Pills are to be procured genuine of Edwards, 67.

GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Under the Patronage of his late Majesty, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, anti the Lords of the Treasury, is universally re commended by the Faculty for its efficacy in removing disorders ncident to the Eyes and Head. SIGHT RESTORED !—NERVOUS HEADACHE AND DEAFNESS CURED! By the most simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound! Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure; many thousand cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling expense, yet certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary to induce the sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Commons have used It. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned its use. Their late Ma jesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most eminent Oculists, Medical Practitioners—with that gigantic balance, the Press—have eulogised Grimstone's celebrated Herbaceous Compound, known as "Grim stone's Eye Snuff," for its efficacy in removi ng a ll d i seases incident to the Eves and Head. G. J. Guthrie , Esq., F.R.S. See J. B . Lech field, Esq.'s Letter, Whitehall. Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews calls it a national blessing —see his Reports touching its utility. The late Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recommend Grimstone's Eye Snuff, and call it " Man's best Friend," and the "Student's Vatle Mecum." Dr. Andrews also recommends its use as a preventive. See his reports in Nov. 1631. He states that the tenacious sympathy of the membrane, within the nostrils, with the nervous system,-that Grim stome's Eye Snuff, when frequently taken, must be of the greatest benefit to the consumer; and, further, recommends its universal adoption as a preventative. Dr. Thomas, of Hatfield, having witnessed many cases both of headache and ophthalmia, has kindly given hie testimony thereof.

The forms and varieties of costume, and the multi plicities of elegant articles of personal and household luxury, have attained to such high artistic perfection, that one can hardly, with justice, refuse to the in ventors the merits and honours hitherto exclusively accorded to the professors of what are designated, par excellence, the fine arts. Sculpture, painting, poetry, and music, will not much l onger b e allowed to monopolise the fame and glory of the fine arts— they must condescend to share them with the other branches of creative genius. At this moment, visit the capital of the Russian empire, admire the fault less form of some fascinating princess, as she passes you on her prancing steed, the chances are you will be told she is indebted for more than half her ele gance to the Messrs. Nicoll, of Regent-street, who are the artificers of her splendid riding-habit. See the Emperor himself in his sable pelisse, looking, as he does, every inch a monarch —you will be in formed that he too has received the embellishments of his outer man from the same London fashioners. To the Prussian metropolis, likewise, Prince William bears with him many samples of the perfect taste of these artists, while the young and handsome Duc de Montpensier is about to astonish the Parisians with novelties in dress derived from the same source. Talk of poets and painters—here is, indeed, a substantial European reputation. Take another instance. Enter the boudoir of some fair aristocrat ; note the rare collection of superb Lijouterie that surrounds you on every side, the glittering albums, the fancifully em bellished writing-desk, the gorgeous inkstands, the matchless vases of Bohemian glass and other crystals, the innumerable nick-nackeries, brilliant and beautiful beyond expression —with each and all of these the name and fame of Messrs. Barry and Son, of the Egyptian Hall, are linked as indissolubly as those of Corregio and Rairaelle with the Magdalene and the Saint Cecilia. Examine the perfumed notes of invi tation and the visiting cards that adorn your drawing room table, and mark the admirably-emblazoned crests of the fair senders engraved and painted thereon; these, too, proclaim the art and skill of these inventors of all that is brilliant in such articles of luxurious fashion. Upon taking up Mrs. Post an ' s agreeable w or k, "F acts and Fictions," the other day, we were much amused with a description of the anxiety and impatience evinced by the ladies of Bom bay, on the arrival of each vessel from Europe, to possess themselves of the latest inventions of the cele brated modestes, Mesdames Herbault Nieces, of the Rue Menard, Paris. Not a pelisse,• nor a mantelette, nor even a ribbon, would one of them select until she had heard the last fiat pronounced by these oracles of extreme gofit. Here is a fame, not merely European, but universal. The renown of Alexander the Great reached not so far eastward as that of these famous Parisian milliners. Remark any strikingly delicate green, porcelain blue, or dahlia-tinted silk, of surpass ing richness. Infallibly you will be answered that they are the produce of the looms of Lyons, and that they have issued from the magazine of Messrs. Gay and Denis, Rue de la Vrilliere, Paris. The inventors of novelties in dress and useful luxuries have no right to complain of any want of apprecia tion in the present generation. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. - -ARRIVALS.

It began in the upper flat of the premises (the building consists of three flats), while the men in charge of the work were neees sarily engaged on the ground floor. An alarm was im mediately raised, and messengers dispatched to Mussel burgh, and to the Edinburgh Police-office for the fire engines. As soon as horses were procured, Mr. Hardie dispatched an engine from the main office, drawn by four horses, along with eleven firemen, to the scene of action. As the manufactory is situated close to the sea, it was judged most expedient to run the engine at once into deep water, ensuring thereby an inexhaustible supply. Of course, from the length of time the fire had continued, and the combustible nature of the stock, the flames had made considerable progress ; but the copious and well directed supply of salt water from the engine succeeded in sta) ing the fury of the conflagration, and ultimately after two hours continuous and laborious exertion, entirely subdued the flames, which were thus luckily prevented from spreading to the neighbouring premises, by which a much larger amount of valuable property would have been destroyed. As it is, however, the damage is very considerable—there being 750 quarters of linseed, and six quarters of oilcake completely con sumed. The whole loss is estimated to amount to about 6,0001. We understand that Mr. Miller had his property insured with the North of Scotland Insurance Company. The glare of the conflagration was distinctly observed on Prince's-street, a distance of ten or twelve miles.— Cakdomian Mercury. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. ruom THE EVENING PAPERS OP TEOTERDAY, GLOBII—It were much to be wished that Sir James Graham's proposed amelioration of the game laws could by some means or o th er b e b roug h t into operation before the coming Christmas. At the moment we are writing, wh en t h e sess i ons of the ootili tyjustices are taking place throughout the country, the prisoners indicted for game offences are but few, or none. It is not until later in the season that the fertile crop of crime, which these laws un illtattatingly produce, begins to be reaped. But it is painful to reflect, that with an entire change of the game-law system in actual consideration, some hundreds of its victims will, in all probability, be suf fering a life-long doom of banishment, from which but a few months would h ave saved them. That the game-laws produce much crime is admitted. The utmost that is contended for is, that their effects are exaggerated ; and that the remedy is to be looked for, not in legislation, but in the moderation of the landed proprietors. This view of the subject we find ably enforced in a speech by Lord Charles Russell, at a meeting of the justices of Bedfordshire on Tues day, the lath instant. We extract the following from the report in the Cambridge Independent Press : " He had said that he had no hope in legislation on this subject: it seemed to be generally admitted that some laws respecting game must exist, and none could, he thought, be more simple and rational in principle than the present laws. They proceeded on the prin ciple that those who occupied land should have the quiet possession of it. In ordinary cases, there being no strong inducement to trespass, an action at law was a sufficient protection; but, as game afforded a stronger inducement to trespassers, it was necessary that there should be a readier way of punishing them. With re spect to the evils ascribed to the game-laws, the principal were these :—The demoralisation of the poor; the great consumption by game of what ought to be the food of man; and the diminution of the amount paid for labour, by placing difficulties in the way of the duo cultivation of the soil, by not growing green and root crops. The first of these, he believed, was much exaggerated: with regard to the two latter, he fully admitted them, but did not think them by any means necessary consequences of the game-laws, but proceeding from want of moderation in the landlords availing themselves of them." After alluding to the battue system, Lord Charles continued : " That was a foreign system of sporting ; but no law could remedy it : any law upon the subject would unavoidably be a sumptuary law ; and what would be too much game for one locality might not be so for another. . . . lie would say, gentlemen must look to moderation rather than to legislation." Now we most readily admit that " those who occupy land," or any other property, " should have the quiet possession of it ;" and we have no objection to the axiom generally, that greater inducement to trespassers must be met by readier means of punish ment. But we doubt whether these principles involve all that is contained in the present system of game-laws. Under the present system, the servants of a game preserver may take up any man with a gun, and without a license, upon the Queen's highway—(vide Lord Stradbroke's Act)—and may bring him before their master, the owner of the game, who may himself punish, without appeal, for the offence committed upon his own property; and all this without a farthing expense to himself, but falling on the ratepayers gene rally, not a tithe of whom probably ever see game out of the poulterer's. We confess we should not expect to find all this involved in the expression, " readier means of punishment." The proposal which gave rise to the discussion—though withdrawn for another consi dered more likely to receive the assent of the j tistices— was simply, that the expenses incurred in the prosecution and conviction of poachers should be defrayed by the parties prosecuting. A measure more simple, and more calculated to cure any " want of modera tion in the landlords availing themselves of the game-laws," we cannot readily conceive. There are several assumptions that must be msde before the present game-law system can be even ex cused. That game is property in the same sense and to the same extent as a horse or a fowl— that it more concerns the well-being of society that a hare or partridge should be placed every day in the season on the table of the Peer, than that demoralising influences should not break up the home of the peasant, making of himself an exile and of his family vagabonds —we know not, even if more than this must not be granted before we could be induced to place our reliance upon the mode ration only of the game preserves. With no motive in the world to create moderation, but with every facility to gratify the most immoderare desires, we do more than pause. Laws are made, not to rely on what men will do, but to guard against what they may do. That system is essentially faulty which confides the party proportion interest betweened, relying u po p %N on 'er h o is f mpuodneisrhamtioennttoto the e p some the punishment and the offence. It would be equally reasonable to grant the poacher the liberty of trespass at will, confiding in his moderation to leave a sufficient stock of game upon the estate. There is, no doubt, a power of revision—which it is understood has of late been exercised—in the Secretary of the Home Department. But if the present system is to be maintained, and the power of revision to be relied on, it will be necessary to create a new officer, to be known as the Chief General Justiciary of all the Shires of the Realm. Legislation may, at least, do this—it may supply motives to moderation. The landlords must not be the only parties interested, with the sole power of punish ment and the sole avoidance of expense. The rights are too much for the duties. If need be, let the right remain ; but let the expense of defending it fall upon the parties interested--for this, least of all kinds of property, it concerns the State to protect— let all violations of it be judged of it by a jury not composed of the landlord's tenants-at- will, and let some more fit judge be chosen to award the punish ment than, in any possible case, the owner of the game. Much has been said respecting the administration of justice by the county magistracy ; and we may freely state—without at present discussing the general ar gument—that we believe, so far as thatfunction goes, professional substitutes, or assessors, would be more competent, more attentive, and more impartial. But the question we are now discussing may be decided apart from the more general question. We can for give incompetence; we can put up with neglect of duty, within rea sona bl e li m it s ; b u t a system which reverses the leading principle of English judicature, and transforms the judge from a counsel for the prisoner into the party principally interested in his condemnation and rigorous punishment, is too shock ing in the bare idea. THE IRON HOOP AND OTHER STREET NUISANCES. —The following clause of the New Metropolitan Police Act, passed under the auspices of the Melbourne Ministry in the summer of the year 1839, has been re ferred to lately by several of our correspondent 3 ; so that wo are induced to give it at length, for the informa tion of those who may be disposed to seek a legal remedy for the dangerous nuisance of iron hoops in the roads and on the foot-pavements of the metropolis. By the 54th section, " every person who shall roll or carry any cask, tub, hoop, or wheel, or any plank, ladder, pole, show-board, or placard, upon any footway, except for the purpose of loading or unloading any cart or carriage, or of crossing the footway," is liable to a penalty of 405., and any police-constable is empowered and authorised to take into custody, without warrant, any person who shall commit the above offences within view of any such con stable. And now, by the way, that winter is drawing near, and pedestrians are likely to be constantly annoyed by having to wade through filth and slush, which ought to be cleared away, it may be well to re mind householders, shopkeepers, and others, that by the 60th section of the same Act (2d and 3d Victoria, cap. 47) " every occupier of a house or other tenement in any town within the limits of the metropolitan police dis trict, who shall not keep sufficiontly swept and cleansed all footways and watercourses adjoining to the premises occupied by him," is liable to the same penalty of 40s. for every such offence. The present worthy Chief Magistrate, on entering upon his mayoralty a year ago, expressed his determination to see the above provision carried into effect, as well as several others enacted by the Police Act for the prevention of public nuisances generally. It is naturally impossible to conjecture what course may be adopted by his successor at the Mansion house, but nobody, whose business or avocations daily and hourly compel him to tramp the streets of our crowded city, can be unaware of the abominable neglect of householders and shopkeepers to comply with the terms of the Act, by keeping the pavement fronting their premises in a tolerably clean and decent condition. EFFECTS or GAMBLING.—A gentleman's servant, out of a situation, who had been out on Monday evening with some friends, and having entered into play at cards, had lost between 4/. and 51., returned to his lodgings be tween 1 and 2 o'clock on Tuesday morning much intoxi cated, and cut his throat. He was removed to the hos pital without hope of recovery. TUE WHEAT SOWING. —During the last week the weather has been tolerably dry, and very gne for the sea son of the year, so that the preparing of the land for wheat sowing and the sowing itself have proceeded pros perous, 1 The land turns up in excellent condition, and insures a dry bed and a safe germination fur the seed. This is of the utmost consequence, as it secures the plant from injury during the most critical period of its growth. —.Liverpool.Tinecs. CHINESE TREATY. (From the Journal des Debate.) The dispatches from China, brought by last mail, con tain intelligence which is important to all nations whose commerce is preparing to avail itself of the establishment of the English at Hong-Kong, and of the opening of the fire ports on the Chinese coast. Interesting in a com mercial respect, these accounts are equally so in an his torieal point of view. The statesmen of the Celestial Empire, although the last initiated in the difficult science of diplomacy, are likely to distinguish themselves in it, judging by their debut. Their coup d'essai is a coup de maitre; for it will be presently seen that, by a treaty, regularly negotiated, accepted, and ratified, they have just reconquered f or their count r y — at l east very nearly—the position, ex clusive and haughty enough, that an unfortunate war had made them lose. It will be remembered that Sir Henry Pottinger hail been commissioned to negotiate with the Chinese com missioners a treaty supplementary to that of Nanking, in order to define and limit the commercial relations that were to be opened with all nations, and especially between England and China, We published that document some months ago, such as it had been translated in the Official Gazette of Hong-Kong ; but we had then no data to appreciate its terms or real scope. It now appears that that translation was not a correct one, and that Sir Henry Pottinger had been the victim of a shameful fraud. The principal interpreter of the British Legation, Mr. J. R. Morrison, died whilst the articles were being drawn up. His death, as Sir Henry Pottinger said at the time, was a national calamity to England, but its consequences have been still more disastrous than he anticipated, for, availing themselves of the ignorance of the English pleni potentiary both in commercial matters and in the Chinese language, and of the acrimony that prevailed between him and the English merchants, who might have given him advice, the Chinese diplomatists who were opposed to him, bribed with money the new interpreter, employed from necessity as a substitute for Mr. Morrison, and Sir Henry Pottinger happens to have accepted and ratified in the name of his Giovernment terms that annul, very nearly, all the advantages obtained by the English at the cost of so much blood and money, and which will probably check for a long time to come the rise of the newly created colony of Hong-Kong. The fact is, that on comparing the supplementary treaty, such as it had been submitted to Sir Henry Pot tinges by the interpreter whom he had trusted in, with a second translation made in England by the most learned professors of the Chinese language, it has just been dis covered that the most serious and most deplorable dif ferences exist between the two translations. In the ver sion submitted to Sir Henry Pottinger, not only has the meaning of several articles been designedly altered, but important clauses, and whole paragraphs have been left out, whilst they remain irrevocably recorded, and have force of law in the original treaty he signed as pleni potentiary. These alterations and suppressions bear upon the whole document, but principally upon the 13th and the 17th articles, the immediate effect of which is to annul the establishment of Hong-Kong; to exclude it from all participation, by transit or coasting trade, in the trade of the several nations with the five ports; and lastly, to restrict, nearly as it was before the war, the commerce of all nations to the sole port of Canton. The following are the articles, according to the cor rect translation; the italics denote the passages altered or suppressed in the version submitted to Sir Henry Pottinger:— Art. 1. Henceforward when the Chinese merchants shall wish to export goods in order to sell them at Hong- Kong, they shall begin by paying the duties according to the new tariff in one or other of the five ports of Canton, Fouchoo, Amoy, Ningpo, or Shanghae, and by receiving in exchange passes from one of those localities. 2. When the Chinese merchants shall wish to repair to Hong-Kong, in order to take in cargoes of European goods, they shall in the same way present themselves before the Chinese authorities of the ports of Canton, Fouchoo, Amoy, Ningpo, or Shanghae, and demand a permit for the introduction of such goods paying the required duties. But every Chinese merchant who shall buy goods at Hong-Kong shall not ship them in any but Chinese vessels provided with passes delivered at Hong-Kong. These passes and permits shall be every time and at every voyage subscribed (vised) by the officers of the Chinese Custom-house, in order to avoid all contra vention.* As for the other ports of the Kwang-Tong, Fakien, Chekiang, and Kiangsoo, such as Chapoo, &c., as they are not authorised factories (conzptoirs), the mer chants are not permitted to solicitpasses there for Hong- Kong ; and if from those parts they repair without permission to Hong-Kong, the English and Chinese Custom-houses shall make combined efforts to discover and denounce them. Art. 17. Tho small English coasting vessels of every description, such as schooners, cutters, yawls, &c., have hitherto paid no duty. It is now agreed that all those vessels, whether coming from Hong-Kong to Canton, whether they return from Canton to Macao (excepting those exclusively used for correspondence or passengers), the moment they shall carry the smallest bale of goods, even only weighing 100Ibs., shall thenceforward pay duty in proportion to their tonnage. Nevertheless, as it would not be fair to apply to them the same scale as to large foreign ships, and seeing that they may go to and fro several times during the month, they shall be thus classi fied—the smallest shall be considered of 75 tons (whether they have or not that tonnage), and the largest shall be of 150. Both shall pay a " mace" per ton every time they shall enter the port. All that shall exceed 150 tons shall be considered as large ships coming from foreign parts, and according to the new tariff; shall pay five race per ton.t As for Fouchoo, Amoy, IV ingpo, and Shanghae, as none of those coasting vessels enter it, it is useless to make any regulations on the subject.t These two articles, adds the Debats, coincide, and are linked togeth er w ith an art t h at oould not be too much admired, if their consequences were not equally detrimental to all flags, by excluding them, or nearly so, from the four ports so recently opened. In fact, accord ing to the wording of these articles, it becomes quite ruinous to land at Hong-Kong the goods destined for the Chinese continent, since,in compliance with the 13th article, their re-exportation can take place but in Chinese vessels, that is to say in junks, which can sail but with the monsoon, at tide intervals, always with a good wind, by quietly keeping close to the coast, and which thus effect in six months a voyage which an European coasting vessel would accomplish in a few weeks. There remains, indeed, the alternative of using English vessels of above one hundred and fifty tons ; but, ia such case, with the enormous duty of five "mace" per ton, tho cost of freight from Hong-Kong to Amoy (a distance of some hundreds of miles) is nearly the same as from Liverpool to Canton (a distance of seven thou sand leagues.) Lastly, supposing that a ship directly goes to the five ports without touching at Hong-Kong, the owners will have to pay five, six, or even seven times (if they wish to report a return cargo), that exor bitant duty of five " mace " at each port, that is to say, twenty-five, thirty, or thirty-five ' mace " per ton for the whole voyage, or " much more " (as the Friend of China, of the 17th of April says) than it would cost to dispatch, without any other trouble, the goods from Can ton, by the canals of the interior. This last method will, therefore, be reverted to, for it avoids immense fatigue, and all the dangers of navigation; or, in other words, we shall revert to the old system of commerce exclusively with Canton, whore it is always certain to find return cargoes. Thanks to the wording of the sup plementary treaty, the freedom of commerce with the northern ports is, therefore, perfectly illusory; it is a mere nominal privilege. It also follows that Hong- Kong will henceforth be but accidentally visited by such ships as may require a refuge in bad weather. • This whole passage had been suppressed.

On Tuesday evening, at six o'clock, the investigation, adjourned from Tuesday last, relative to the death of a man unknown, whose body was found in the Thames on the morning of Sunday week last, with five mortal stabs about it, was resumed before Mr. Higgs, the Coroner for Westminster, at the Pine Apple lavern, Hungerford-street, Strand. George Wicks, one of the toll-collectors at Vaux hall-bridge, stated that about a quarter before twelve on the night of .Friday week last, a gentleman, who passed over the bridge from the Surrey side, asked if there was not a policeman on the bridge ? Witness replied that there was one there about every half hour. The gentleman added, that it was a pity there was not one there then, as there was a party of swells ill-using a poor man. Witness said it was a pity he had not stopped and seen him righted. A few minutes afterwards, witness received the same in format9n from another gentleman, with two ladies, passing ovef the bridge. Shortly afterwards, In spector Taylor, of the B division, came to the toll house with a basket he bad found on the bridge ; it contained some carpenters' chips, crumbs of bread and cheese, and a printed shop-bill of the prices of car penters' tools. Witness observed Ole next morning on the centre of the bridge a quantity of Mr. Deputy Superintendent Lewis, o ;',+, - he Thames Police, said he had made inquiries on the tiler, and could not learn that any person was missing, He had examined the marks of blood on the bridge, and saw that there were several spots on the buttresses, and on the balustrades were the marks of three bloody fingers. Mr. Bainbridge, the surgeon, said this could not refer to the body of the deceased, as the body had. been in the water several days. He had no doubt whatever but the wounds had been inflicted during The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a ver dict of " IVilful murder against some person or per sons unknown." WINTER ASSIZES.—It is now definitively fixed that a winter gaol delivery shall take place ; but it is believed that the subsidiary arrangements will not be made till the beginning of term. EXCURSION TRAINS ON RAILWAYS.--The Board of Trade has just issued a circular to the several railway companies, calling their attention to the danger of the plan adopted on some railways of running excursion trains drawn by several engines. They state that the opinion of several of the most experienced practical men has been taken, and that they all state the present mode of working the excursion trains to be extremely dan gerous ; and the Board of Trade recommend that these excursion trains should be divided into sections, sa that no more than two engines should be used with any onn train of carriages. They also point out the extreme danger likely to arise from the want of punctuality in. the arrival of these excursion trains, arising from their great weight ; and they strongly urge upon the com panies to adopt a different mode of working the excur sion trains in order to avoid the danger of the present method. It ought to be observed that very few com panies have adopted these " monster trains," and it is to be hoped that those which have adopted them will alter their arrangements to such as are more compatible with safety. AN EXTRAORDINARY BAROMETER.—The mate of the brig Grand Turk received a few years since a sevens blow with a club over the left eye : the skull was pro— bably slightly fractured, and is so tender as to indicate, with unfailing accuracy, any change in the weather. The Captain of the brig says—" Generally about six hours before the commencement of a gale his head begins to ache with more or less violence, as the case may be, the position higher or lower on the head, and the degree of pain denoting squall or gale, moderate or severe ; and so peculiar are the sensations, and so infallible in their indications, that he is able to foretel the commencement, and generally the duration and severity, of a gale with at greater degree of accuracy than I have ever knows a ba rometer to do."—American Paper.
