'Worshipful the Mayor for his able and impartial conduct in the The important benefits it confers in alleviating the mass of human (Chair. misery and wretchedness which is daily brought under the official notice of the Sheriffs, and in preventing the increase of crime, need only to be more generally known to ensure for it a warmer interest in the minds of the benevolent, and more extensive means of use fulness. Since the establishment of the Central Criminal Court, the neces sity of this fund has been more urgently felt ; criminals are now brought for trial to Newgate, not only from all parts of London and Middlesex, bat also from the crowded and populous parts of Essex, Kent, and Surrey, adjoining to the metropolis. The prisoners in Newgate, in Giltspur-street, and in Whitecross-street, Prisons, are all under the care of the Sheriffs ; and in Newgate alone there were confined upwards of 3,000 persons during the past year. It would be impossible to reconnt all the claims made upon them, so numerous are they, and so varied in character. Some appeal to their commiseration, having been unjustly charged or committed awn evidence which has not satisfied the grand jury that there was case enough to send them to trial, and have conse quently ignored the bills presented against them; others for slight offences have had a short imprisonment awarded to them, but it has nevertheless been long enough to alienate friends, and to deprive the offender of the shelter of a home ; others have only wanted a few shillings to enable them to return to their relatives in the country, or to purchase tools or implements of their trade, or a few articles of decent attire, in order to obtain employment on their liberation, which they would otherwise have been unable to procure, had it not been for the bounty of the Sheriffs. The frequency of these claims renders it impos-able for the Sheriffs themselves to bear them en tirely, and they therefore call upon the public, whose almoners they will gladly be, to assist them in this work of benevolence. And the Sheriffs beg especially to call the attention of the public to the Permanent Fund of this Society ; to impress the necessPy of establishing an Asylum for the shelter and reformation of hopeffil cases of female offenders. A House of Mercy it might be well called, where the penitent and youthful offender might find a shelter and a home. It is only by the operation of an asylum that there is any probability of checking the career of crime once entered upon. As soon as a young female enters the walls of a prison her doom is too often sealed—her character is blasted—she is deprived of that which alone can enable her to earn an honest livelihood—spurned by her friends, or perhaps ashamed to let them know of her disgrace, where can she turn ? And it is well known to many that there are characters of the worst description constantly prowling about the walls of a prison, awaiting the discharge of hapless girls so circum stanced, only to entice them to the commission of fresh crime, or to allure them to a life of degradation and misery, by offering them that shelter and sympathy which is denied them by the rest of the world. In such an establishment the sincerity of the apparently pe nitent offender might be tested ; many might be restored to their friends ; and others, by proper instruction and after due probation, might be fitted for future usefulness, and become respectable mem. hers of society.

Dinner on the table at Half-past Tickets, One Guinea each, may London Tavern ; and of the Hon. Old Bailey We, the undersigned, William H. Colquhoun, Advocate, Sheriff- Se bstitute of Inverness-shire, and John Mackenzie, banker in In• ye mess, were appointed a Deputation to solicit Subscriptions in Lon (l,y, i, in aid of the proposed Asylum. Ind being now arrived here, in pursuance of our mission, we beg leave to send you some particulars regarding the proposed establish it, In the hope that you will be pleased to give it the benefit of ye; re support by contribution or otherwise, Under that impression, We vill do ourselves the honour of waiting on you, in a day or two, ,to leu'n your determination ; but should we be so unfortunate as not to have an opportunity of seeing you personally, we hope yon will be kind enat 'gh to favour us with your views, to the above address, on Or before 2th instant. The priclary object of the projected Institution is the accommoda tion of paupar lunatics, and of other lunatics in poor circumstances, in the northern counties of Scotland, which comprise an extent of . surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of about 250,000. Yet, with the exception of a very few cells attached • to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all - this wide district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of • the insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up wards of 700, are left in a state of wretched destitution, either burden some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam ing about the country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable 'on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the immunity from their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the in ...lacy, and the terror of the country. To abate this crying evil, this heart-sickening and frightful neglect and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most •central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients. The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of _human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least 8,0001. will :.,e required to erect the in cessary buildings, and to form a fluid for Zile permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable )rogress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, in pro curing subscriptions ; and hopes are confidently entertained that with 3letropolitan, and perhaps Colonial aid, the necessary thuds will be obtained to secure this invaluable boon for the poor, and re move one of the worst blots on the humanity of our countrymen. The rules for the government of the Institution will be of course de termined at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub mitted to them on principles fitted to secure a liberal and efficient system of management, comprehending the chief official funtionaries of the district, but giving to the Subscribers due and ample powers of control and recommendation. We are, respectfully, Your very obedient servants, (Signed) W. H. COLQUHOUN. JOHN MACKENZIE.

I accordingly procured one of your 4s. 4d. canisters, atter taking which I found considerable benefit, so much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my ,hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since.

The following is an extract from a letter dated Hong Kong, March 6, 1845 : " You will be pleased to hear that opium can no longer involve us in China. It is openly admitted at every port, and carried about the streets. In fact, it is legalised , to all intents and purposes, but they are ashamed to , publish it. The trade of Canton for the past year exceeded all previous experience, notwithstanding the other four ports, and the Emperor gained a revenue of 250,000 dollars from that port alone. At Shanghai 38 ships are recorded during 1844. The impetus given to our cotton manufactures is very great, and the demand yet unsupplied. As for this colony, it is getting on at a miraculous pace ; houses and streets spreading in all directions, and still house rent extravagantly dear. We have now deligh tfu l weather, much superior to an English winter. The unhealthiness of this island is beginning to be found a hoax. The drunken soldiers die, as they do in all hnt climates, fevered with spirits and debauchery ; but as for the civil part of the community, the colonial surgeon has returned 367 cases with only nine deaths, in his report of six months' practice. Such a pro portion might be exceeded in England. Our barracks were sickly, and our gaol perfectly healthy. British sovereignty is zealously established over the Chinese of this colony, and they are so well contented with it as to flock over with their wives and families, which gives usp better population than at first, now increased to 30,000. Three Chinese robbers (with weapons) were condemned to death by our Supreme Court, when they com mitted suicide by hanging themselves in the prison. These men had robbed attempted to murder some of their own countrymen, and not Europeans. Whilst at Macao, for twenty four hours, to collect plants and trees and vine cuttings for the colony, the Governor was attacked by three robbers while walking along in plain clothes, just outside the town. They fled on seeing some other Englishmen approaching, so he was happily neither hurt nor robbed, though one of the rascals had a knife in his possession. In Hong Kong we have put an end to robberies by our English jurisdiction." PROHIBITORY IMPORT DUTIES ON GOODS IN MOROCCO. The following extracts from a letter received at Lloyd's yesterday, from their agent at Gibraltar, will be found interesting : " The new tariff seems to have been most injudiciously considered, inasmuch as the same rates are to be levied on all kinds of cotton and woollen piece goods, without reference to their respective qualities, and the same system is to be Observed also, with regard to goods usually imported by weight, so that 55. or 21s. sterling will be charged in a quintal of copperas and other goods of very little value." " It is, however, considered not improbable that when the Emperor finds that the augmentation of duties only tends to lessees the receipts of the Customs, that he will be induced to alter the new system. The British mer chants here trading to Barbary are making a representa tion to the Board of Trade—which, I trust, will obtain the favourabl e cons i deration of her Majesty's Govern ment. Simil ar remonstrances from the mercantile in terests in Engla n d would materially strengthen the memorial from this quarter. (Signed) "By Lloyd's Agent.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING JUNE 16, 1815. precedents in limine. The successful diplomacy of Sir HENRY POTTINGER is in itself, its results, and their in fluences, amply sufficient to constitute and found a pre cedent. One of the most remarkable events in modern history has been, undoubtedly, the establishment of commercial and diplomatic relations between China and this country ; and, through this country, with other States and nations possessing European institutions and civilisation. When the trade which has been opened through Sir HENRY POTTINGER'S admirable tact, spirit, and management, between Great Britain and so many points in the Chinese empire, shall have gradually as • sumed that method, and organised those relations which it will ere long attain, there can be no doubt that as the demands and acquirements of those Asiatic markets become better ascertained and skilfully provided for, an immense expansion of our trade with China itself, the islands of the Indian Archipelago, and the vast coun tries lying to the east and south of the Bay of Bengal, will speedily take place. There is no greater benefactor to his countrymen than a British functionary who multi plies the resources, and secures the permanency, of their commerce. As a public benefactor in this invalu able and distinguished class, no man has done more signal service, for ages past, than Sir HENRY. How few have rendered the commonwealth as much ! It is unnecessary, however, to elaborate a pro • position which men of all parties and opinions without he sitation concede. The question then arises, what shall be the amount of the acknowledgment wherewith a grateful country shall reward so eminent a public servant ? Sir HENRY POTTINGER appears to have too entirely identified himself with his mission—to have too spiritedly and disinterestedly devoted all his energies and means to the conduct, maintenance, and successful completion of his remarkable negotiations with the Chinese government, to have been likely to derive pecu niary advantages from his position, had its appointments been twice as liberal as they were. Besides, his labours being ended, he is left without any continuing salary or payment of any kind. It would seem that he has little or no patrimonial fortune at all to fall back upon. In short we cannot conceive strong l er claims upon the public generosity, a more meritorious person, or services more nationally important. Now what is the annuity for this eminent man's life, which the Minister advises the Crown to recommend to Parliament to grant ? Let us premise that Sir HENRY'S protracted residence in China, and his endurance of ex traordinary bodily fatigue, combined with the incessant pressure of severe mental anxiety, have seriously im paired, as we understand, his health—a circumstance not to be overlooked in appreciating the value of the an nuity to be granted—namely, 1,500/. a year, limited to his own life. This does appear to our apprehension a very inadequate amount of reward. It is obviously no sort of measure of, bears no reasonable proportion to, the services performed. That is an unavoidable incident in these cases which we may regret, but cannot hope to remedy. In the nature of things, national acknowledg ments of this kind can be but testimonial rewards, not equivalents. But we have a perfect right to try the amount of this annuity by that of other testimonial re wardsin specific cases. Let us take the analogy ofpensions granted for civil and diplomatic services. It is not near so much as some of the pensions we perceive to be en joyed by those who have filled other, but surely not more important embassies. It is only 3001. a-year more than after, we forget how many, or, rather, how few years' service, the holders of civil offices, such as Secre taries to the Treasury, Chancellors of the Exchequer, Paymasters of the Forces, &c., become entitled for life. If we mistake not, Mr. GOULBURN himself, prior to his last taking office, enjoyed a pension of this kind, of between 1,2001. and 1,5001. per annum, and this he will return to on laying down office. Writing s from memory, we believe that a brother of the Pre mier's, no longer in office, is still in the receipt of a civil pension of much the same kind. Can it be gravely meant to put the services of Mr. GOULBURN on a level with those of Sir H. POTTINGER ? If Mr. GOULBURN'S pension be 1,2001., should Sir H. POTTINGER'S on any principle, whether of equivalent or testimonial reward, be but 300 L per year more ? But on the lists of those pensions there are recipients of equal sums, whose official services can by no means compete with those even of Mr. GOULBURN. Is a man like Sir H. POTTINGER to be classed in the same category as to official pensions with those men ? But let us take another case of mili tary service. The late General Sir JOHN KEANE, one of the luckiest soldiers of fortune, to be sure, who ever secured the good opinion of the most sagacious and most renowned commander of his age, led the first British army which entered the territories north-west of the Indus. It is true that that army was eminently success ful in its operations ; but with a most frightful and im provident sacrifice of human life, of beasts of burden, commissariat stores, &c. There were no positions secured—no facilities established in the event of a re- Lord, the responsibility of the Imperial Legislature for having so long permitted so vast an evil to remain with out a remedy—if the extent of the destitution pervading so large a portion of North Britain was known in official quarters—the remissness of such authorities in not having before brought the matter under legislative consideration, seems all but unpardonalle. If the know ledge of such destitution had not, previously to the Lord Advocate's moving in the matter, yet reached these official departments, that fact tells seriously against the vigilance as well as the efficiency with which they are administered. But, in either case, we think it hard to withhold from the Lord Advocate the mewl of praise and good desert for haring, however tardily, grappled at last with a state of things disgraceful to the Government, and dangerous to the vital interests of any nation in which it is suffered to exist. Because we appreciate the magnitude of the suffering, to be miti gated, and of the destitution to be provided for, we cannot concur in the unsparing censure directed by some of our Contemporaries against the first organised attempt to accomplish objects so wise and duties So imperative. The very circumstance that he opens a path which his predecessors ought never to have allowed to be closed--a highway of equitable public charity, which ought never to have been permitted to grow out of " customary resort," and to fall into bitch desuetude as to require the authority of new statutes to re-open it ;—this very circumstance should excuse the Learned Lord if he halt and hesitate somewhat on his new effort to retrace the ancient courses through which the humanity of the old law was wont to distribute succour to those who could no longer succour themselves ; for there is a very strict analogy between the old custom or traditionary law, of which the system of relief practically adopted affords us occasional glimpses, and the new scheme of poor-law which the Lord Advocate has brought forward. We should have thought that with Scotchnaen generally this assimilation of the modern scheme to the ancient principle would, in itself, have formed a considerable recommendation of the plan. In saying this, we are by no means insensible to the defects of that plan. It may in many particulars, be obnoxious to the objection taken by Mr. PATRICK STEWART, in his usual pithy and epigrammatic manner—that it is a Poor Bill, good for lairds and heritors, bad for the presumed pauper recipients of the assessments upon them. It may even be chargeable with the deficiencies which Mr. COLQUHOUN has noted in it, or with some of those inherent vices which have made it utterly un palatable to other of the Scottish Members. But since none of those Honourable Gentlemen—not even Mr. RUTHERFORD or Mr. F. MAULE—dispute the enormity of the abuses which have crept into the system—or "no system" of relieving the poor of Scotland, as it now ex- ists—since none attempt to argue that any machinery already exists adequate to the repression of these abuses, now, or to their prevention hereafter—why will they discourage the commencement of a remedial system ? Because the measure of the Lord Advocate does not go far enough, are they unwilling that it should be put in motion at ally? Because some of its details are deemed to be objectionable, shall no trial be made of the great principles which they form but the means of carrying out into execution?

Because the remedy at its first concoction is unpalatable to some of those interested in its exhibition, is the disease to remain unarrested? Is it to be contended that the desperate condition of the patient had better be suffered to determine in hopeless, irreme diable disease, rather than subject it to a treatment which no one denies would arrest its progress, though it might not, alone, re-establish the sufferer? Why, the condi tion of the Scottish pauper is miserable; he is a sufferer in the most fearful sense of the term; his malady, social and physical, does demand instant lenitives, if you are not ready with a radical cure ; there is but one stage beyond that which the privation and wretchedness incident to the neglect in which he has too long been left to pine ; and that is—death. Shad we quarrel with a prompt restorative because it is not a certain and complete specific—or deny him the benefit of its administration, because it is tendered by hands shrewdly suspected to be those of lairds and heritors ? Why, the case is that of suffering and privation, which, it it is to be relieved at all, must be relieved at once. Therefore we concur with Mr. ComiuuouN in dissent treat ; and the General tarnished his own reputation by something like mean and unworthy jealousy manifested in his conduct towards the lamented and gallant Colonel DENNIS, and still more by his un-Britishlike acquies cence in the barbarous and wholesale murders perpe trated in cold blood by our infamous ally SCHAH SOOJAU, on his prisoners in a memorable instance which Mr. HUME vainly endeavoured to bring under the notice and reprobation of the House of Com- mons. Sir JOHN, however, obtained the incrediblere ward of the honours of the Peerage, and 2,0001. per year for his own and two lives. There is as little com parison between any services that were rendered to his country by the military career of the late Lord KEANE and the signal benefits which the diplomatic exertions of Sir HENRY POTTINGER have secured for it, as there can be between the character, the intellect, and attainments of the mere soldier, and the statesman-like capacity and enlightened benevolence of the accomplished diplo matist. Will the Legislature be indeed content to give a less income to Sir HERRY POTTINGER for his own life, than it decreed to Lord KEANE for two lives ? We trust that it will show a better appreciation of pri vate character, personal talents, and public merits. ing altogether from Mr. HUME'S proposition (at the close of a good speech, however, in support of the prin• ciple), to let the measure tide over till next session. There is no country in the world of which the poor, from their generally industrious, orderly, sober and frugal habits, their willingness to labour and their cheerfulness in enduring toil, are better entitled to all the considera tion which poor-laws can secure for them in helplessness and sickness, infirmity, age, or want of em ployment, than the poor of Scotland. Our humble but earnest advice, then, to Scottish Members generally is—make a beginning, at all events. Reform that scandal on all parties justly blameable for The question put by Mr. LABOUCEIERE in the House of Commons to Sir ROBERT PEEL, relative to Spanish slave•grown sugar, and the reply of the Right Hon. Ba ronet, open up questions of the first importance, not to the commercial interest only, but to the whole of our in dustrious population. The Spanish Government, it ap pears, claims under the treaty of Utrecht, and we believe also of subsequent treaties, the right of importing into the United Kingdom the sugars of Cuba and Porto Rico at the most favoured rate of duty. There is no doubt at all that the application had been made, for it was admitted by Sir ROBERT PEEL, and we are inclined to think there is as little doubt of the fact that such treaties are in existence. The Minister did not attempt to deny it—he merely said that no answer had yet been given to the application. When these treaties were made the feeling which prevails among certain classes in this country against slave grown sugar was not in existence. All the sugar imported at those periods from British co lonies was produced by the labour of slaves—the slave trade itself was carried on by Liverpool, Bris tol, and other sea-ports, to an enormous extent, and it never could enter into the head of any Minister to propose to Spain that sugar of this kind should be made an exception, when it was admitted from our own colonies as a matter of course, and without one word being uttered against it by the only party who took an interest in the question—the abolitionists of the slave trade. Even WILBERFORCE, with all his philan thropy, and all his generous enthusiasP3 in the sacred cause, hesitated long before he would pass the limit which he had prescribed to himself—the simple abolition of the slave trade ; and it w a s no t till many years after the conclusion of t reat i es with slave-hol di ng states that the noble, the vast, and ultimately the successful, scheme was proposed for the complete emancipation of our slave population. But there is another fact which strengthens our view of the question at issue. Slave grown sugar has within these few months been admitted into this country from Venezuela and New Orleans— the former essentially a Spanish colony—in virtue of ancient treaties. It amounts then to all but a certainty that Cuba and Porto Rico were not made exceptions, and the answer of Sir ROBERT PEEL implies as much ; for had any doubt on the subject existed in his mind, he could not, with any propriety, have concealed the circumstance. When we consider the vast quantities of sugar raised in these colonies, such a fact is of the most vital importance merely in a trading point of view, without taking into account the West India interest, the revenue, and the good of the public at large. On the last ground we hail thii prospect of relief to our hard-working popu lation with unfeigned satisfaction. The refusal of this country to admit sugar raised by slaves would not, in the slightest degree, abate slavery ; and why should Englishmen alone suffer, and suffer, too, in an attempt which never can be realised ? its existence, the present condition of your unfortunate paupers. Don't be driven off the true and legitimate object you are bound to keep in view, by statements and counter-statements of irrelevant matters, criminatory and recriminatory, about the clearance of the Suther- land estates in 1815, or even more recent processes of wholesale ejectment. Try this experiment of an amended poor-law, taking care that it be free from the despotic abominations that attach, or have attached, to that which we have had so often to cobble for England and Wales, if this attempt of the Lord Advocate do not fully answer—realise, in the first place, all the good it can be made to yield ; and in the second, carefully mature all future improvements, which careful observa- tion, during the experienco of the term you may choose to allot for the experiment, may show to be necessary, when the period arrives for revising it. We record in another part of the paper the particu lars of a very interesting scene which lately took place at Ilimbay, interesting not only on account of the ac complishment of a noble work constructed chiefly for the benefit of the lower classes in that part of India, but for tie erc-ungement, es far as honours can go, it gives rative princes and merchants to improve their country and ally themselves with rulers who, notwithstanding some egregious faults, not to say crimes of their ser vants, have conferrred inestimable blessings on India. The scene, which took place in April last, was at the inauguration of the great causeway constructed fur uniting the islands of Bombay and Salsette, and thereby forming a safe and useful communication between the populous towns of Alahim and Bandora. The whole undertaking was completed at the expense of a private individual, the lady of Sir JAMSETJEE JEJEEI3HOY, well known in this country for his generous deeds and his patriotic spirit, and for which, the SOVEREIGN was pleased to confer on him the honour of knighthood. This causeway, rivalling in many respects a Roman road, cost, with the approaches, the stun of 167,000 rupees, or about 16,500 L, and was appropriately thimen after its munificent founder—to be a memorial in after ages of the gratitude of the Indian Government, and of the patriotic spirit displayed by the wife of a native merchant of Bombay. The eulogium pronounced by Si, GEORGE ARTHUR, the splendid military ceremony, and the studied honours conferred on these two indivi duals, in presence of a vast population, were all well timed and well-merited. We have intelligence from Madrid to the 6th inst. The great topic of conversation was the abdication of Don CARLOS, an event which seems to be viewed by all political parties, except the Absolutists, with the greatest suspicions. A general belief prevails, that an arrange ment has been come to between the Court of Spain, in other words the Camarilla, and the Carlists, that the QUEEN is to be married to the Prince of ASTURIAS, and the old system of absolute Government restored. The public feeling we believe to be correctly expressed by the Clamor Publico. In adverting to the proclamation of the Prince to the Spanish nation, that journal says:—" Those flowers cover an abyss; behind that manifesto lurk a restoration and despotism, with hatreds and resent ments that have brooded for ten years. A restoration is the greatest calamity that can befal a nation. We impatiently await the decision of the Government, and hope that it will reject that monstrous alliance." The QUEEN made her entrance into Barcelona on the sth, amidst the applause of a vast concourse of people. General NARVAEZ accompanied her MAJESTY, but MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA remains at Madrid, either ill or feigning to be ill. The Funds continue greatly de pressed. The Three per Cents. c!osed at 31-1-, for cash, and 32k at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 204 for cash and 211 a t 60 d ays; and the Debt without Interest at 74 ~ at 60 days. In the French Chamber of Peers a discussion of some interest took place on the 11th relative to the Jesuits. On the introduction of the Supplementary Credits' Bill, the Count DE MONTALEMBERT took occasion to defend the Jesuits, whom he identified with the Catholic Church, denounced the treatment they received at the hands of the Government, and instanced several countries, even Protestant countries, such as Holland and England, were they were more humanely dealt with. The Minister of Justice, in reply, said "he could not allow the comparison instituted by the Noble Peer between France and Eng land to pass unnoticed. Undoubtedly England was playing a glorious part at present, but could he not ex claim with all who heard him, 'Honour to France The second reading. of the Poor-law Amendment (Scotland) Bill—though we could have wished that it had passed through that stage with a less manifestation of opposition—forms, in our opislion, an important epoch in the social history of modern Scotland. The Lord Advocate has really, in no respect, exaggerated the extreme bodily sufferings, the terrible privations, the domestic misery of paupers, especially such as are aged and impotent in that country ; and surely, if the facts established a case but of one-half of the intensity of that exhibited in the fearful pictures traced by the Learned honour to our Charter, which dispenses with our being obliged to act as England does 1' France was far above the fine example given by the neighbouring country— France posses..,ied institutions which had proclaimed liberty of worship, and which preserved her for ever from having to manifest generosity or commiseration for the religion of the minority." He then slowed the character of the Jesuits, sketched the union that existed between the Church and State three years back, and the present comparative anarchy, and argued that the change was chiefly attributed to the schemes of the Jesuits. He alluded to the claims set forth by the Jesuits to take part in the education of youth, and stated how the Chambers had risen to prevent it, showed how the Jesuits had contrived to unite with bishops, and to induce them to make common cause with their body. He concluded by declaring that the Govern ment would proceed firmly in the accumpli,hment, of the mission en! rusted to their car , , and toe strong common sense of the public would show who was right. His speech was followed by loud mArks of approbation. The Chamber bad passed the Bill for arming the fortifi cations of Paris by a majority of 98 to 18. In the De puties the Budget was still under consideration. The papers announce the death of the Countess MAE, which occurred on Wednesday, after a short illness. The Ga zctte de France says there is no truth in the report of an intended marriage between the Duke DE BORDEAUX and a daughter of the Duke of iIIoDENA. " Guizot,' says the Courrier Francais, ' is to give a grand dinner to his political friends on Tuesday next, and at the end of the session that Minister's partisans intend to invite him to a ban quet at the Luxembourg Orangerie.'
