In the Ilonset of Lords last night, on the motion of the,,gdarl of SIIAITESBURT, it was agreed that no petitions for private Bills should be received after the sth of April, and that no report of the judges on such Bills should be received after the sth of June. Tha LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice of his inten ti >n to introduce a Bill on the subject of Charitable Trusts. After the Marquis of NORMAN BY had drawn theiirtardiships' attention to the hasty manner in wi li° ll l l lpa, were hurried through at the close of a omission, . Lord.l3iibunnam rose to present a petition, com plaining of the delays which took place in the Court of Bankruptcy, in consequence of the non-attend ance .of the Commissioners. A short conversation ensue], and ultimvely Lord BROUGHAM handed th e ,petition to the LORD CHANCELLOR in order that an inquiry 'night be instituted so as to give the Commissioners an opportunity of offering some explanation. Their Lordships then adjourned until Thursday. Tte House of Commons met at a Quarter before Font. o'clock, and Sir T. FREMANTLE took the oaths and his seat for Buckingham. After the presentation of various petitions, the Railways Bills Committee of Inquiry was appointed, on the motion of Lord G. SOMERSET. .:;Among the notices of motion given was or.e by Mr, `WALLACE for the ..sth inst., on the subject of the Court of Ses:•ion in Scotland, and one by Mr. ROE BUCK on the subject of the Acts passed by the Cana "dim Legislature. _.-$ll7 J. GB.uAM promised to lay the returns which had been moved fa on the subject of the Ecclesiastical Commission, on the table of the House before Easter. The Right Hun. Baronet alto stated, in answer to j Lord DALMENY, that he thought he should introduce some measure on the subject of the Scottish Poor law during the course of the present session. Mr. WALLACE then rose Co submit to the House the motion of which he had given notice on the sub ject of railways. He objected to the Railway Com mittee of the Board of Trade as an unconstitutional body, but at the same time said that he had no objection to make personally to any member of that Board. He complained that, by their proceed ings, they were discouraging competition, and de priving the people of a free trade in railways, without which they must virtually become the slaves of the railway companies. In allusion to the Rail way Committee which had been appointed in 1844, he said it was a one-sided Committee, consisting prin cipally of persons connected with existing railways, and that its reports were received with distrust. Ile attributed all the speculation and gambling which had arisen, to the publication of the Committee of the Board of Trade of their awards in the Gazette. The Hon. Gentleman then animadverted on the high rate of fares charged on English railways for third class passengers, and on the inconvenient times at which the third-class trains started ; while, in Scot land, in consequence of the railways being exposed more to competition, the poorer classes were better accommodated, and at a cheaper rate. He was op posed to railway amalgamation, as it was against the interests of the public ; but he was in favour of rail way competition, in order to support which he proposed that companies should be required to give in tenders of the cheapest rate of conveyance. Railways, he contended, were public property, and therefore ought to command the attention of the Legislature. He proposed that, with a view to ascertain correctly the statistics of railway travelling, a set of experi mental carriages should be worked by the Post-office ; and concluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill, repealing the Railway Act of last session. Mr. EWART seconded the motion, but doubted the policy of calling upon the Government to take tenders for the formation of different lines from different companies. He thought that the Government ought to abstain from all interference in the matter, and proposed that a board of scientific men should be appointed to advise Committees of the House on such matters as might be submitted to them by those Corn • mittees. . Lord HOWICK contended that, under existing cir cumstances, it would be impossible to constitute an impartial tribunal to adjudicate upon the claims of competing lines of railway, and proposed, as a remedy, the adoption of the plan acted on in France and other Continental countries, while, in order to do justice to the projectors of lines of railway, he thought that Parliament might fairly call upon the parties to whom the line should be conceded to make them a proper remuneration. The Noble Lord concluded by urging on the House the necessity of adopting some measure on the subject, or it would be utterly impossible for them to get through the 248 Railway Bills which were to be submitted to their consideration this bring in a Bill to amend the law of settlement. During the recess he had received many communica tions on the subject of the measure which he had pro posed last year, all of which he had attentively con • sidered. There were many parts of the measure to which no objection had been made. Those parts he proposed to retain. Great objections had been made to giving the Act a retrospective effect ; and he there fore proposed that its operation should be prospective only, and he was also disposed to give up the birth settlement, and the five years' industrial residence, but he intended to abide by the ether limitations which he had introduced into the measure. He also proposed to substitute union settlements tor parochial settlements, and would allow a sufficient time to elapse before the second reading of the Bill to enable the country well to consider this important alteration. After a short discussion, in which Colonel WOOD, Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. BROTHERTON, and Mr. B. DENISON took part, leave was given to bring in the Bill. Lord EBRINGTON moved for leave to bring in a Bill to limit the exemption from turnpike toll of car riages carrying her MAJESTY'S mail , . The motion, which was opposed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, was negatived without a division, and the House adjourned at Twelve o'clock. Two petitions relative to Puseyism were presented to the House of Commons on Monday by Lord EBRINGTON, and we hope they will be followed by many thousands, for it is evident the Protestants of this country can now look only to the Legislature for a redress of grievances. One of the petitions was from a clergyman, the Rector of Stoke Climsland, in that happy diocese over which Bishop PHILLPOTTS presides. That gentleman complains that he is placed in a situation of the greatest difficulty ; that he has received three pastoral letters from the Bishop, which were of very uncertain and different import, and he was, therefore, at a loss to know how he should per form his sacred functions with safety or satisfaction, for if he departed from the Rubric he was liable to heavy penalties, and if he strictly adhered to the Book of Common Prayer, and the canons of the Church, he would cause great discontent among his parishioners He, therefore, prayed that the House would take the subject into their serious consideration, and repeal the Acts of EDWARD VI. and ELIZABETH, relative to the ceremonies of the Church, and adopt others which might remove the present difficulties and avert the dangers with which the Esta blishment was threatened. The other petition was from laymen, deprecwing the attempt of the Bishop and certain clergy to revise obsolete forms and cere monies, which had excited discord and alienation in a Christian community where there should be only harmony and peace. They also prayed that the House would take the subject into consideration, and grant redress. These, we believe, are the first peti tions presented on this painful subject, but, owing to the recognised practice of the Commons, no remarks were made. It does not appear that Sir R. PEEL was present, and possibly Mr. GOULBURN did riot consider . himself qualified to give even a hint as to the course which should be adopted. Lord EBRINGTON, however, has an easy way to bring the question forward in a tangible shape. He will be en trusted with other petitions, and probably has them in his possession. Let him, therefore, give notice of their presentation, and at the same time state his intention of calling the attention of the Legislature to one of the most wanton attacks on Protestantistn ever made since the Reformation. There is a noble field for his exertions—he will be cheered on by the ivhole lay community, and perform the most essen tial service to the cause of freedom as well as pure religion. The present state of the Church is full of anomalies ; it is not suited to the age. The doctrines of the Catholic Church are dominant at Oxford, and rapidly extending through every diocese; the tnajo rity of the Bishops have their faces towards Rome, and wolves in sheep's clothing have in broad day en tered the fold. Can the Legislature stand by idle while the Church established by law has not only deserted its most sacred functions, but adopted tenets which are in direct opposition to those of the religion which its members profess ? The time has fully ar rived when the strong arm of the law must restrain the mischievous vagaries of PUILLPOTTS and BLOM-. FIELD. The ludicrous divisions which took place in the French Chamber of Deputies last week form the principal topics of remark in the Paris journals. Those of the Opposition in one respect rejoice at the anomalous state of the Chamber, while they express regret that a measure of great importance in com , mercial affairs, aS Weil the 'relation of'prlvate life—the reduction of the postage •on letters—has been ''unneeessarily delayed for twelve months. If the Chamber, had, evinced more charaCter, and the , concealed-rotes by ballot had not belied those given openly; great "boon - would have been conferred on the community, with.little or. probably no.loss :to the 'revenue. These journals, however, •t;,lke advantage of the " circumstance ',to, run down the Ministry, by, showing that 'M. GUIZOT has no 'longer sufficient manage the 'rein§ of Government; and that in fact the .Chamber 'is like a ship at sea without a. rudder. •The . Courrier Francais draws the follovving picture of its: helpit.sS The Chamber, of Deputies has advanced -to the state of abstaining from giving a 'decision. Until Saturday either-side: had, at least.a.rnajerity of one,, and the decisions were valid. Men of serious reflection are afflicted at this decadence of the ' GOvinmrnent. • here is, in 'fact, neither Chamber nor Ministry—no will, no impulse. The Ministry is dead, and the Chamber has abdicated on its coffin. The most important decisions, the most useful reforms, are at. the mercy of a vote. Every result is left to chance. Let a Deputy hasten or delay his attendance, and the decision is changed. A breakfast prolonged, or a cabriolet too slowly driven, become the arbiters of our destiny. What is an Utopia at three o'clock, would be law at a quarter past three; Would it not be more simple to toss, and to make hazard the legislator ?" The Constitution net regards the functions of the Chamber, as well as the Ministry as utterly useless to the country. " We have before our eyes." it says, " the following political maxim :—When the majority becomes too feeble on, political questions, it is null on every other question and there is no longer a Government." And it says else where—" The continuation of doubtful majorities in the Chamber of Deputies on every question sub mitted to its consideration, is not the effect of chance. It is evident that every time the Minister does not bring into play all the secret springs of Government, and every time that he does not use a certain force, the indifferent, the persons having pressing affairs to attend to, the invalids, and, in fact, the majority, desert him." Even the Journal des Debats attacks the Chamber for its want of boldness and contrasts its timid ; and niggardly policy with the lofty and daring principles avowed and acted upon by the House of Commons. "The Postal Reform Bill," it says, "has been lost in the Chamber of Deputies. It wanted but a single vote in order to have been successful. We foresaw such a result without believing it, and we regret sin cerely that we were right. Thus, a legislation which every one admits to be contrary to the fundamental principle of equality in taxation, will continue a tax •universally admitted to be injurious to commerce. and to the development of social intercourse. The Chamber of Deputies has so willed it. Thus we are in France—the most timid men in the world in making useful changes, the most hardy and the most rash in vain and danger( us inno vations. We are all fire for revolutions, and all ice for good and wise reforms. It is not so that our neighbours, the English, proceed, and they are not the worse for it. What boldness and what reso lution is there in their conceptions of political economy, They diminish the postage on letters in the proportion of nine to one, and at the same moment they draw from their coffers .500,000,000 to indemnify the pro prietors of slaves in their colonies. We discuss during long years the expediency of emancipation of postal reform and of other subjects more or less worthy of interest. We make good speeches, we compose better books, but when it becomes necessary to carry any, of those measures into effect, our heart fails us." At TORTONI'S the Three per Cents. closed at 8-If. 85c. It is rumoured, and we believe upon sufficient au- thority, that the title of. King-Consort is about to be con ferred upon his Royal Highness Prince Albert. This, we presume, would be preliminary to a demand for an increased grant. —Chronicle.. ' EKRATUM in yesterday's Earnings' Tax Sonnet. -- For " toproot," read, " taproot."

There are two lines'propokd to the Belgian Government to connect the Sambre and 'Meuse, the Central and' the Western, and the former appears, or is stated tcrbe approved by a ma jority of the Chambers. Within the laSt few days; however, there hafe been various atteinpts to depreciate, in the estima tion of 'the public, the plan of the Central line, and without pretending to faVour one or the other of the projects, it must be stated that the means resorted to by the WeStern Company to accomplish their object are far from creditable. The list of intended shareholders in the Central line has been calumniously Misrepresented, highly respectable parties being described as " unknown," &c. The Directors of the Central line had an interview yesterday with the' Belgian Ambassador, which was understood to be of a very satisfactory character. The wellAnown firm of Keeling and Hunt have issued a very good circular on the state of the provision trade, in which they correctly infer that the large amount of money likely to be put in circulation by the the construction of new railways will have an important effect 'on the consumption of various articles, especially should these be relieved by a reduction of duties. The duty on the lowest description of cheese is now 100 per cent., and on the finer kinds of butter and cheese only 20 to 30 per cent.—a -,manifest injustice to the poorer classes. Were it nor for the weekly sup plies of `Dutch, it is stated by Messrs. K. and H., that the - f price of English fresh butter in the London market would in all probability be 2s. 6d. per lb. Even during the last six months there has been a detided advance, viz., from 7d. to 9d. and 10d. per lb. It is considered that a duty of 10s. per cwt. would more than double the consumption, and keep the English market permanently steady, for it is reckoned that the decrease in the consumption'of &utter, cheese, and bacon in the agricultural counties has amounted during the past 20 years to 50s. and 755. per cent., while there has been an increase in the consumption in the manufacturing districts. Butter would evidently be an important auxiliary to the oonsump tion of coffee, &c. • - - The advices by the steamer from the West Indies are con sidered very satisfactory, the weather generally being fa vourable. - Stocks are firmer to-day.

We are happy to be able to State from authority that the ill-natured rumours which have been afloat both it( Paris'and London, respecting a noble English lidY, resident in Italy, and a foreign Prince, are totally devoid of all loins datiolt,-Cbtirt J'aurn al. session. Colonel SIBTHORP, although not often agreeing with the Noble Lord, did certainly agree with him on this subject ; but asked how it was that the Noble Lord had not made these suggestions on former occa sions? The Gallant Colonel then alluded to the ques- . tion he had asked the other night, as to whether any of the members of the Board of Trade Committee were connected with railway schemes, and said that he at least should be an impartial juror, for he never had been, and never would be, connected with any railway. Mr. GISBORNE deprecated any interference with the policy of the Act of last session, which contained nothing authorising the Board of Trade to publish their decisions in the Gazette. He attributed no dishonour to the members of that Committee, but there could be no doubt but that their decisions had transpired before they were published, and those de cisions had created such distrust, that he thought it advisable that some less objectionable tribunal should be established. Mr. J. S. WORTLEY thought the Committee of the Board of Trade ought not to have published their decisions until they had communicated them to Parliament. Mr. WARBURTON objected to the plan of Lord HORICK, as tending to divert capital from British to foreign railroads. The remedy for the evils com plained of was to admit the fullest and fairest com petition, and to give every opportunity to new com panies to compete for new lines. Mr. BANKES complained of the preference given by the Board of Trade to the Great Western over the •South—Western Company's line of railway, through the part of the county with which he waS connected. Sir ROBERT -PEEL hoped the House. would post pOne comiug tb :iny:decision on the subject. If it could: be shown that the lloard.nf Trade had come ,to itnpoiitid diciSion in rejecting any line, he felt assured that the line would receive eier.)-rbensideration and attention.- The --value of the decisions of the Board would rest entirely upon the grounds which ,they could, give,. for their . decisions. Until those grounds should be known, it would be utterly im possible-for the - House to deter Mine definitively what course it should adopt. In the meantime, he hoped that no interference would take place with - the present practice of the House., , Mr. BANKES explained. • After a few words from Mr. BANKES and Mr. RUSSELL, Mr. WAKLEY rose, aril commenced by reiterating his complaints against the prolixity of lawyers before Committees. The Right Hon. Gentleman then pro. ceeded to draw the attention of Sir JAMES GRAHAM to an article which had appeared in the Economist, relative to the conduct of the Messrs. O'BRIEN, one of whom had once held the -office of secretary to the Right Hon. Baronet, but had since been appointed one of the members of the Board of Trade, and called on the Right Hon. Baronet for an explanation. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in allusion to the accusa tion which had been brought against Mr. O'BRIEN of dabbling in railway shares, stated that that Gentleman, on whom he passed a high eulogium, had been his Secretary before his appointment to the Board of Trade ; that on his appointment, he had, as far back as October last, sold all the railway shares which he possessed. That the gentleman whose name was referred to in the Economist, was the brother of Mr. O'BaIEN, that he was not con nected with the South-Eastern Railway, and that both gentlemen had solemnly assured him, on their honour, that neither directly or indirectly had they held any communication with the person alluded to as having taken advantage of information obtained from the Board of Trade. If any su'picion attached to either of those gentlemen let inquiry be made, and let them stand or fall by that inquiry, but the character of men of honour, who had served their country with credit, ought not to be whispered away, when direct charges might be made against them. The Right Honourable Gentleman proceeded to vindicate the character of the Board of Trade, and that of the Com mittees of the House from the attacks of Mr. _ WAELEY. After a few words from Mr. IVAKLEr, Mr. BROTHERTON, and Mr. DARBY, the Motion was withdrawn. Mr. WAKLEY then moved for a return of the de scription of diplomas or licences admitted by the Poor-law Commissioners as legal qualincations to entitle medical practitioners to be appointed as medi cal officers to Poor-law Unions, which, after a few words from Sir JAMES GRAHAM, was agreed to. Captain . PECHELL moved for certain returns re lating to the crushing of bones by paupers in work houses, and deprecated their being employed in such labour. Sir JAMES GRAHAM had requested the Commis sioners to issue orders to prevent it, but they could not control boards of guardians in such matters. Lord EBRINGTON defended the employment of paupers in bone crushing. If the work was fit for independent labourers, it was not too bad for paupers. Captain PZCHELL and Mr. IVAKLEY both animad verted severely on Lord EBRINGTON'S Observations. Mr. Roznucx taunted the Right Hon. Member for Finsbury with his: former speeches against the Poor-law Commissioners, who, after all, instead of being pinch-paupers, were the defenders of the poor a gasiinrs C. the inhumanity L extAt:dere hde o d f the the guardians. employment of paupers in this manner. Mr. WARLEY replied to the taunts of the llon. Member for Bath, and after a few words from Mr. HENLEY and Mr. S. Caewroau, the motion--wes a g reed to. Sir JAMES GIIAIIAI4I then rose to move for leave to THE REV, DR, WOfit Capt, Grovr has received intelligence of Dr. Wolff to the 10th January, at which dAte he was at Erterorm, endeavouring to recruit his strength for the journey OW the mountains to Trebizonde. At Tehran the (Actor was received in the kindest manner lay Ctl. Bhiel, het Majesty's Envoy, who tent a Government golarh to meet him, lie left Tehran in a tuckrawan (a sort of litter), and by easy stages reached Tabris. Here the judicious treatment of Dr. Cassolani enabled him, after some days' repoe, to proceed by a similar conveyance towarat Erzerootn. On rvaching . the Turkish frontier, owing to the immense accumulation of snow, he was obliged to proceed on horseback, and after great bodily suffering he reached Erzeroom on ; the 4th January, exhausted. As soon as her Majesty's Commissioner, the kind hearted Colonel Williams; It.A., heard of the Doctor's approach, he rode as far as the last pass to meet him and escorted him into the town. Dr. Wolff is too ill to write to any one, and cannot move from the sofa ; it is, however, hoped that the kind attentions of Colonel which have been really beyond all praise, will enable him to proceed in about a fortnight to Trebizond. A paragraph "having gone the round of the papers,' stating that Dr. Wolff never was in personal danger at Bokhara, and that he could have left when he pleased; and as such a statement was probably intended to weaken the sympathy every Eng.ishman muse feel for this noble-minded 'man, who exposed himself to such horrible sufferings in attempting the release of two Bri tish Envoys, Captain Gruver thinks it right to state that Dr. Wolff was in the greatest danger during the whole period of his, stay at Bukhara; that guards were placed round his bed; aid that he was indebted for his escape to Mirz i Rouli Khan, the Persian Ambassador who refused to have Bukhara without him.

The Chairman, in his opening address, pointed k.ut the advantages of the various extensions and branches which this Company had undertaken, and said that it was the intention of the Directors, with the sanc tion of the Proprietors, to go to Parliament upon those lines of this Company which the Board of Trade had reported against, provided the Directors should not be satisfied with the reasons to be given by the Board of Trade. This statement was received with much ap plause. The Hon.

On the morning of Monday, the 3d inst., she was proceeding to her work through the square of Somerset-house, which, owing to the rain and sub sequent frost of the previous • night, was a complete sheet of ice, when she slipped down. She got up and walked on, but on reaching the door of the Stamp-office she again slipped, and fell with great violence across the scraper, which per forated her stays, fracturing several of her ribs, and other wise severely injuring bor.. She was immediately placed in la cab and conveyed • tci Charing-cross where she lingered and died on Saturday last of the injuries received. Verdict-is" Accidental death." • •• e • SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Oubtir Optitton. " Who run* my read.' FOAXAGN. The Paris papers bring no news of importance. The wea ther had become excessively cdd, and vast quantities of snow had fallen chiefly In the southern provinces. The Madrid mail of the 3d had not arrived on that account. The following picture of the British House of Commons is given in a journal called the Almanack du Mois :—" Our readers are aware that the English orators are not satisfied, as ours are, with a plain glass.of sugar-water, and that be hind them is placed a tray containing drink more than re freshing, from the finest wines to the strongest liquors. The night upon which Lord - Brougham delivered his celebrated speech in favour of the abolition of negro slavery, he had supplied himself, according . to custom, with a large basket tilled with bottles of the strongest wines. His speech lasted coven hours, and it was found necessary to replenish the basket. The gas-lights began to grow pale in presence of the morning sun, and still the House of Commons was silent and attentive. All e) es were directed towards the speaker. He was seen to bend upon his knees, and to supplicate the British Parliament with tears in his eyes to destroy slavery over the face of the globe. Never was so much emotion per ceived in the ass'embly. The motion was carried in the midst of enthusiastic cheering." The _Mario, a Lisbon journal, dated the 4th inst., states with much satisfaction that a Portuguese ship, the Uniao, which was taken by an English cruiser in the waters of Qui limane, as a suspected slaver, has been liberated by the mixed Committee at the Cape of Good Hope, after a most searching but unbiassed trial, which terminated on the 20th of November last. The capture was declared illegal, and the vessel ordered to be restored, with her cargo ; and all costs end claims of compensation were immediately satisfied, in fulfilment of the sth article (letter B) of the treaty. The annual export of oranges from St. Michael's is stated to be 80,000 cases, valued at 140,0001.

Fust presided in the Court of Peculiars, and in the case of " Boieldieu v. Boieldieu," a suit brought by Capt. Boieldieu against his wife foV a divorce, on the ground of adultery, gave judgment in favour of the divorce. The present session of the Central Criminal Court termi nated, and the Court adjourned to the 3d of March. At MarylebOne, a woman, giving her name Elizabeth Randall, was charged with having assaulted Mr. William Redding, beadle of St. Marylebone parish. On Sunday after noon, in Marylebone Church, the prisoner, by loud talking and other misconduct, caused an interruption to Divine Service. The complainant went to her, and desired her to behave her self with propriety, when She gave him a blow on the head, and afterwards slew at him like a tiger. He at length got her out of the church, and gave her into custody. She had on other occasions disturbed the congregation in a similar way. Other evidence was gone into, which, coupled with the strangeness of the prisoner's manner in Court, left but little doubt that she (prisoner) was not in her right mind. The prisoner was S under these circumstances sent to the work house. James Howden, charged 'under the Metropolitan Carriage Act, with having acted as a waterman at the Red Lion Inn, Camberwell, without having a license to do so, was convicted in the penalty of 55., at the Lambeth Police-office.

MISCELLANEOUS. • About 300 ships were left lying at Ichaboe on Nov. 30; several had left in ballast, and it was expected 'a great number would leave without cargoes.

The Scotch papers express great alarm at the threatened interference of the Governinent with the system of banking in Scotland, to which the great body of the people are much attached.

FALMOUTH, FEB, 9.—By the Philip Dean we have re ceived intelligence froM Buenos Ayres to the 26th November. Great,dissenSioti had occurred among the authorities of Monte Vidiid, which indicated the probability of a speedy surrender of the City to the Buenos Ayre,an army, commanded by Oribe. The life and soul' of the 'Government was Pasteeo fObes, whd had lefrit. • By this eonVepance'we have'teceived the following trans lated copy of the decree of the Government 'of Corrientes, confiscating all the Argentine property of which they had possessed themselves. It will be seen that Corrientes will allow the navigation of the rivers by neutrals, but Rosas will not allow it, except to the Paraguays with their own flag, and even this permission it was anticipated he would soon in terdict under some pretext or other. The Paraguay trade was at a dead stand, and likely to remain so in consequence of the decree :-- ' "Article 1. All the vessels under the flag of Buenos Ayres, or of the neighbouring provinces which are under the influ ence of the Government of that province, and with which that of Corrientes is in open and declared war, detained in her ports, or navigating the waters of the Parana and Uruguay, are legal prizes, and are confiscated from the moment they are captured. "Art. 2. The properties of subjects of the Government of Buenos Ayres, or of the provinces subject to her influence, are in the same manner legal prizes, and will be confiscated. "Art. 3. The properties of subjects of neutral nations under the enemy's flag, legally attested before the compe tent tribunal named for this purpose, are free, and will be protected. _ " Art. 4. The right of visit to neutral vessels that com merce in the Uruguay is effective only in the channels, coasts, and islands adjacent to the territory of this province, and not in the ports, coasts, and islands adjacent to the ter ritory of the Brazil. "Art. 5. To those who trade in the river Parana, the visit will extend to the confluence of the Paraguay in all its course downwards. " Art. 6. All merchant vessels dispatched from neutra ports to those of the exterior will be free. " Art. 7. All articles of war, or enemies' property, in neu tral vessels, bound to enemies' ports, will be confiscated. " Art 8. Let the present degree be notified, through the office of War and Foreign Affairs, to the Governments of the neighbouring States, as also to the Ministers and Consuls of the different foreign nations residing in Buenos Ayres, and publish it in the customary form, and deposit it among the official registers.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE SURREY CANAL.-011 Monday morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, a fatal ac cident occurred on the Surrey Canal to James Woodruff; a fine lad, twelve years of age, the son of poor parents residing at Deptford.
