Last Whit . -Monday they amounted to between 12,000 and 13,000, but yesterday they exceeded 15,000. Although the rooms were very much crowded, there being at certain periods of the day between 2,000 and 3,000 at one time present, the greatest regularity and decorum prevailed. The visitors were all ofa respectable appearance, and apparently viewed the various magnificent gems of art the gallery contains with great interest. Surely the persons appointed to take care of the sticks and um brellas of the visitors ought to treat the public with some little degree of civility , th e language and manner of one of them in particular to a ivell-dressed person, as heard and w it ne mavOy the reporter was most disgraceful.

GREAT INDIAN PENINSULAR RAIL WAY.—At a Meeting of the Provisional Committee of the above line, held at the office of Messrs. White and Borrett, 3.5, Lin coln's Inn-fields, It was resolved, That as the dispatch to the Governor-General of India, on the subject of railways in that country, has appeared in the newspapers, the following prospectus be at once issued for the infor mation of the public : PROSPECTUS. This Company has been formed for the purpose of extending to India the great benefits of internal railway communication. It proposes to effect a commencement of a system which shall have for its object the connexion of the several Indian presidencies with each other, and with the nearest point of intercourse with Europe at Bombay, and at the same time to develops the great and unimproved resources of the interior of the Peninsula. The vast importance of the object has been fully recognised by the East India Company and the Board of Control, who are prepared to undertake such surveys as may be necessary to enable them to take into consideration the general question of railroads in India. The promoters of this measure have represented to these authori ties that this Company may propably find, on due inquiry, that it will be Impracticable to execute the intended roads without a guarantee by the Government of a certain though small dividend, or of some equivalent advantage ; they have therefore much satisfac tion in stating that the Government proposes to depute to India a skilfull engineer, to be associated with others to be appohated by the Goverment of Italia for investigating the subject ; and when the in formation to be so obtained shall have been received, it will be pre pared to take into consideration the mode and . extent of whatever pecuniary assistance It may be proper for the Government of India to afford towards the execution o: projects of this description. It is understood that the survey of an experimental line will be executed as soon as possible, with the especial sanction and assist ance of the Government, as stated above, by whom the cost of such survey or surveys will be borne, and the requisite arrangements, if any, with the native Governments and the owners of the land will be undertaken. On the completion of these preliminary steps it will remain for the Shareholders to determine whether or not the prospects of the undertaking, as thus ascertained, and the terms assented to by the Government, will warrant the further prosecution of the design. From documents, to which access has been most liberally given by the Directors of the East India Company, very exact information has been obtained as to the general engineering character of the in tended lines ; the same authentic source, aid the communications of gentlemen long engaged in high political and military service in the Descan, have supplied the facts on which the following statements are founded. It appears highly probat le from these that further in quiries will lead to a most favourable result, and issue in the final establishment of the Company on satisfactory data. In that case the Comany will be established under a charter from the Government in India, p and if necessary a charter from the Crown will subsequently be applied for. In this state of things the Provisional Directors consider themselves justified in laying the proposed undertaking before the public. It has been agreed that the capital of the Company shall be fixed at 6,000,0001., in shares of 501. each, making 120,000 shares, upon which it will be re quired that a deposit of 21. 10s. per share shall be paid at the time of Issue. The amount of these deposits will be invested in Exchequer Bills or East India Bonds, or Li such other securities as may be con sidered safe ; and as the disbursements of the Great Indian Railway Company will be limited to such expenses as may arise out of pro ceedings necessarily connected with the preliminary surveys, and to such other charges as are incidental to its general management, it may be safely assumed that the interest to accrue on deposits will al most, if not altogether, defray all the expenses of a preliminary cha racter. If, therefore, it should be hereafter judged to be inexpedient to carry out the present intentions of the Great Indian Railway Com pany, either from the unfavourable reports of the engineer officers, or from the support to be given to the Railway Company by the. Ho nourable the East India Company, under the permission of her Majesty's Government, not being cossidered adequate by a majority of the Shareholders, the deposit of 21. 10s. per share, and the interest which shall have accrued upon its investment, will be returned sub- .... .... _ ject to the payment of all necessary expenses. It is not intended to proceed until after the report of the engineers in India shall have been received, and the result of the investigation duly submitted to the Shareholders, nor in any case is it intended to execute the line, except in portions ; and the calls will only be made with reference to the portions so commenced. It is proposed that the line to be undertaken by this Company shall commence at Bom bay, ascend the Western Ghauts, and pass Ahmednuggur into the valley of the Godavery ; it will then traverse the plains which skirt that river until it has crossed the Manjera, a few miles beyond which it will turn towards the south-east, following a series of connected and fertile valleys, and on emerging from this district, near KUM mummet, it will take a nearly straight course to the Godavery, which it will pass a few miles above Rajamundry, and then proceed to its terminus at Coringa. Four branches will issue from suitable points on the main line ; those to the north will terminate for the present at the frontiers of Candeish, and at Nagpoor, the latter having a sub-branch to Oomrawutty ; these will form the first portions of lines hereafter extending to the Ganges and Calcutta ; those to the south will extend to Shoolapoor and Ilydrabad, and be capable of being eventually continued to Madras. From the great field of India, as yet unappropriated by railway en terprise, this main line has been selected, on account of its great and m nuerous advantages. It will have a large present goods traffic ; it passes through countries whose susceptibility of improvement will occasion great increase of its traffic; it connects the two coas giv ts ; and, with the aid of steam na vi g ation in the Bay of Bengal, will e present speedy communication between the three presidencies, in ad vance of its ultimate effect, their connexy railway. One e terminuCo is the noble port of Bombay, the other i con h b only harbour the s romandel coast. The route selected by which it traverses the easte b rn side of the peninsular is certainly the best te be found, and probaly the only one which will not require heavy works and stationary en gines. Its branches reach to most important districts and cities, and will form the first portions of railways of great importance hereafter. It will greatly increase and cheapen the supply of cotton from India to England and China, and strengthen the political influence of England iu India and the adjacent countries. The length of the main line and branches will be about 1,300 miles ; the cost, including the apparatus required for the ascent of the Western Ghauts, will probably not reach 6,000,0001. This estimate is founded on careful inquiry into the costs in India of such structures as will be suitable to the circumstances and traffic of the country. The amount of tonnage to be expected on each half of the line is about 250,000 tons per annum, of which the greater part is salt, from the coast to the interior, and cotton in the other direction. The price of carriage in these parts of India is nowhere less than 3%d. per tou per mile, and then only in the few cases of carts on level roads. The greater part of it is done by droves of small oxen, travelling six or seven miles a day, at a charge of more than Bd. per ton per mile. Since railways can be worked as cheaply in India as in England, and the English charge, which bears a profit, is 2d. per ton per mile, it follows that the English charge can safely be made in India, and will at once ensure the traffic, and bring ample returns to the share holders. The annual receipts calculated on the foregoing data will amount to 1,091,6661., and the cost of working the line, according to the best information which can at present be obtained, will be little more than one-half that sum, leaving a surplus available for a dividend of 81 , 4 per cent. These results, though stated in gross and roughly, are founded on careful inquiry, and analysis of information already obtained from the authentic sources which have been before referred to. No injurious competition can In fact interfere with them, for only few common roads exist, and those of the worst kind ; and there are no navigable rivers in any part of the vast dis tricts which the lines will traverse, except for a short distance near the eastern coast. The foregoing calculation proceeds solely on the goods traffic be tween the coast and the interior. All receipts for passenger traffic, the local trade of the country, and the carriage of troops, mails, and Government stores, are excluded ; they are kept as a reserve of uncertain, though probably large amount, and from the known habits of the population, and the experience ac quired from other instances of improved communication, will no doubt for an ample set-off against any contingent error.

J~ _,, LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 13, 1845 In common with all who have directed their atten tion to the mode of administering relief to the neces sitous poor in Scotland, we have long entertained the conviction that that system required very careful re vision. There is no feature more prominent, per haps, in the national character of the Scotch than their charitable consideration for the claims of all their indigent compatriots. When the administra tion of the funds contributed for so sacred a purpose, under the influence of kindly feelings so generally cherished, is found to be so defective as to leave beyond the scope of its action a vast majority of those whom it professed to reach, we may safely conclude that the principles on which it is based are essentially faulty. For this reason we have been induced to . watch, with much solicitude, the discussions upon a measure lately introduced into Parliament by the Lord Ad vocate, for amending the poor-law of Scotland. On many accounts we have always been disposed to consider that the principle of the existing law in question was really good in itself; and that it might have continued to operate beneficially, after making all allowance for the altered condition of circum stances and relations which the increase of popula tion and the development of manufacturing capital had produced within the last five-and-forty years— had not its expansion been cramped and its energy paralyzed by ill-judged attempts to adapt their action to the requisitions of a harsher utilitarian scheme of impracticable universality. We believe it to be as likely that the differences of genius, or sentiment, or usages subsisting between different nations and races, demand corresponding dif ferences in the legislation to be provided for the relief and management of their respective poor, as the dif ferences of their moral and social institutions. To attempt establishing and working one :and the same scheme of poor-law relief for England, Ireland, and Scotland seems a fallacy so self-evident. But there may be, on the other hand, inherent evils in such a system intrinsically and universally demoralising and destructive, and it is evident from the reports and com munications received from ministers of the kirk and parochial authorities, that one such evil pervades the existing poor-law of that country. If it was an objection of in su p e r a bl e grav ity t o th e adminis tration of the English Poor Law, prior to 1833, that under it a large proportion of the wages paid for agricultural mseuocthlamn do re ofreprehensible labour ek ing waso out t charged the utterly audp tonniitititaehddee qpruraaateteetsi, practice euobiwn sistence levied for the poor in virtue of the existing law, by authorising the paupers t o supp l ement th e wretched pittance doled out to them by begging from door to door ! This permissive sanction does not go ' merely to encourage mendicant vagrancy, but it holds out a premium to pauperism to relieve the legal fund for its relief by throwing itself on those very sources of irregular maintenance which it is the object of all statutory enactments and police regulations on the subject, in either countries , to cu t oti. From the statements of the Lord Advocate, on Wednesday evening last, it appears, that the existing law, in its terms, makes full provision for the poor of Scotland ; and puts into the hands of those who have the administration of that law the power of assessing savages. The geographical and commercial import ance of the Soloo islands, always very great, has become infinitely enhanced by the extension of our mercantile establishments, and our intercourse with China. Two years ago, a very able writer in the Indian News, in a paper admirable for its various and valuable statistics of the Indian Archipelago, wrote thus prophetically :—" But the supineness of Great Britain, with regard to the splendid Indian Archipe lago, is quite inexplicable. Even Singapore we owe not to the Government, but to an individual, for it was with great reluctance that Sir STAM FORD RAFFLES was permitted to create this valuable entrepot; and at the present mo ment, when Manilla, from its propinquity to China, promises —or rather, threatens —to be come one of the most important settlements in the Eastern Seas, we have not even a Consul there to look after our trade, and report to Government at home !" Have we any Consul there now ? We doubt it; though this question was suggested so far back as April, 1843. We recollect that, at the close of the last session, when Mr. GLADSTONE'S notable Fame for admitting Manilla sugar under discrimi nating duties, to evade its free-labour production, was being forced through the House of Commons in spite of its often predicted (and its now often proved) futility, the Premier attempted to conciliate objectors by the announcement of some magnificent plan for sending out sala ried agents to Manilla, among other foreign sta tions, qualified to test and report upon the qualities of the sugars to be admitted into our home market. We nfer, though we cannot speak positively, at this moment, that we have no Consular agent at Manilla. " Our Gallic neighbours " (continues this writer in the same spirit of prescience) "are more on the alert, although with not a tithe of the cause ; and we learn from a private source that the French Consul is a per son of great talent and shrewdness. As for the Ameri cans they never sleep. Without a foot of land in the Archipelago, and without manufactures for barter, they are yet the busiest traders in these seas. An ac credited agent of Congress is perpetually roaming among the islands, and a Yankee frigate is never far distant where their flag requires protection." Three words suffice to explain the facility and impunity with which the Americans can thus break through the Dutch prohibitory system, when we do not. They are not hampered by the blunders of Lord CASTLEREAGH s restitution-folly of 1814, nor the disgraceful and self-imposed disabilities of the treaty of 1824. all parties liable to contribute under it to any extent which may be necessary for that purpose. It is from no indisposition to do justice to the merits of the Lord Advocate's Bill that we propose very briefly to in quire—on the assumption that the existing law en ables, es the Learned Lord tells us, the authorities charged with its administration to assess till parties liable to any extent adequate to the making full pro vision for the support of the poor—how has that power been exercised? With what satifactory results to the poor ? From the statistics embodied in some of the returns that have just been brought before the House, we collect one or two remarkable results. Of the counties of Ross, Cromartie, Inverness, Caithness, Sutherland, and Argyle, the total popu lation, in 1841, was 340,928. The total amount received by assessment, and contributions at church and from private sources, was for that year 7,6821. Of the total population, 8,463 were reported to be legally entitled to relief as impotent or destitute poor, and more than double that number were returned as equitably entitled to demand similar poor relief. Among the latter it was administered to 1,174,am0ng I the former to 4,798. Thus the average of relief administered to each of this number of poor persons per week was 21d., exclusive of what additions the individual may have realised, to this legalised pittance, by " begging from door to door." Truly the terms of the existing law may be, as the Lord Advocate remarked, very extensive. But the practical susten tation provided under it must yield but an hornceopa tbic aliment for its unfortunate recipients. To remedy such a state of things, however, will prove a task of much more difficulty and trouble than will be readily believed by the benevolent but impa tient philanthropist. We transfer to our columns a letter addressed to the Lord Advocate, which carries a signature that needs no prefatory commendation at our hands. We may be apt to believe that the writer permits his solicitude to be too readily excited by exaggerated apprehensions; but we must concede the praise of great good sense and moderation to the tone and spirit in which his views are developed. We quite concur in holding that it is far more essential well to consider and digest the scheme and details of the new measure in this session, with a view to carry it out into law in the next, than, from the mere desire to avoid delay, to precipitate a vote upon it before the rising of the House of Commons. We find it difficult, moreover, to dispute the force of the case cited to show that the operation of the new law upon its pre sent scheme and detail, may prove ruinous in some districts of Scotland; to the landlords and other classes, if it be modelled too closely "upon the wide, strag gling, and uncertain basis of the present law." In the parish which has supplied the illustration it has been the practice of the Kirk Session to give aid to as great a number of the poor requiring it as it was found possible to afford. On the clear rental of that parish, amounting to 2,7001. per annum, the charge for the poor under the new law would be no less than 37 per cent. Now this is certainly a very startling statement ; and, from peculiar circumstances connected with the tenure of land in Scotland, we have no doubt that the result would be as the writer anti cipates, that although, nominally, the greater pro portion may appear likely to be contributed by the feuars and heritors, the burden must really be borne by the landowner. Again, we have reason to know, that the possessors of estates in the north-west highlands and islands of Scotland have, in many cases, within the last few years, through the extinc tion of the once lucrative manufacture of kelp, been compelled to abandon, as he states, their lands, and migrate to distant colonies. How are the present possessors to contribute from their fearfully dimi nished rentals, .these increased contributions to the support of the poor ? Both these points are well worthy mature deliberation and inquiry before the Legislature, ere its sanction be given to anew poor-law, however unexceptionable in principle, or excellent in many of its details. But there are other considera tions suggested, of which we cannot too strongly cor roborate the force and importance. One of these re gards a great general principle, namely, that the grant of this sort of aid to the poor, in any given case, under the existing law, shall not, of itself, as necessarily con stitute a right in the same party to receive it under the new law. The laxity of the rule under which this aid has hitherto been extended, would render it equally dangerous and absurd to give it, under a new system, anything like the same application. Even Scot tish Jurists of high eminence have held that the relief in question is rather to be considered under the existing law "as an aid than for maintenance." The next point which we trust will be distinctly affirmed by the decision of the Legislature, is that under the new law power should be given to the parties entrusted with its executive administration, to fit up temporarily old houses, and other existing accommodations, for the purposes of poor-houses, at least for a given and ade quate period, and so as to give to parishes and unions ample opportunity for ascertaining the wants and re quirements of parishes and unions, before committing themselves to the adoption of needlessly expensive constructions, devised by the costly fancy of the parish-union architects. All these will be found topics well entitled to very serious investigation, and we do hope that for once the people of Scotland may not have occasion to reproach the Imperial Legisla ture with its habitual indifference to questions of purely local interest and importance to that country. For some weeks past the French journals, and more especially those which usually affect to be well in • formed upon the intentions of the French Govern ment, have been putting out those minute but signi ficant paragraphs which may be called the "antennce" of journalism—the feelers of that policy of which they are the organs—and these feelers point to the intended occupation of a part or the who'e of the group of the Soloo islands, at one extremity of the Great Indian Archipelago. Our attention was arrested by the first " protrusion" of these feelers, and we thought it would not be long ere the action was repeated. In another ten days, cur expectation was realised. The object had now assumed a more definite form. Whether because no notice had been taken of the former demonstration by the English journals, or in the English Parliament, we cannot say, but the ob ject was more boldly defined to be the "seizure" of the Soloo islands. And last week we encountered some speculations in the same journals as to the par- ties to whom this expedition and the direction of its proceedings would probably be confided. There can be little doubt that, in due time, on some one of those fine mornings—nothing daunted by the failure of their hope in grasping the Marquesas by a coup-de main, and establishing themselves in Otaheite under false pretences—we shall hear of our neighbours having domiciled themselves on some island of the Soloo cluster (not on the whole, as some of our Parisian brethren surmise, with more of territorial appetite than geographical ac curacy.) But the importance of a position there, coupled with the anxiety and vigilance they have shown to avail themselves of the opportunity afforded by our successes in China to establish com mercial relations with that empire, they have not, as in the cases of the Marquesas and Otaheite, exaggerated. It is much to be dreaded that the importance of their intention is grievously underrated by this country, or rather by that miserably incompetent branch of the Government which so ruinously administers its Colonial possessions. On former occasions we have devoted some articles to show with what suicidal folly a Tory Government—after w e had conquered Java, and in a brief posses. sion of three years, given freedom to its people, their industry, and its vast commerce, so that in re venue, as well as in natural products, it had become, under our rule, the richest of all the eastern islands— we restored, without compensation or guarantee of any kind, Java to the Dutch. We have shown how scandalously the Dutch have since, and, to this day, evaded, and violated, the terms of the treaty of 1824, after we had, with almost equal childishness, agreed to their own construction of those terms. At least, let us profit by the example we have had of Dutch cupidity, and, since there seems no likelihood of our regaining Java, negotiate, immediately, with the Go vernment of Holland, who have interests in that distant region, an d th e na ti ve p r i nce s who exercise hereditary dominion there, for a position in an verwhelnii og the Soloo groups also. Thi s i s a b etter, an d every way more respec t a bl e a course th an se i z i ng c l an d est i ne l y, an d b ac k e d by force, on the lands of defenceless sioner Plenipotentiary to the Court of ABDERRAHMAN :o remind him of his engagements. According to a letter from Oran, ABD-EL-KADER is in the south at the head of ten thousand men, and the late attack upon a party of French at Tenez is considered only a part 'of the plan for a new rising against the invaders.. Several columns of French troops are in conse- quence moving towards the south of Algeria. The grants just voted by the Chamber for improving the har- hours of Toulon and Port Vendr-s, meet with the general approbation of the French press, as the object - - of the Givernment in proposing these estimates is to facilitate the communication between France and the coast of Africa. Port Vendres especially is well adapted for that purpose. The Presse thus points out the advantages of this harbour :—At Port Ven- dres it is intended to construct for the present a pier at the entrance of the harbour and to deepen the outer port. The expense is estimated at 2,500,0001., which will complete the amount demanded by the Alinister of Marine. Port Vendres is so well situated that the genius of VAUBAN, nearly two centuries since, foresaw the advantage to be derived from it. It is close to the frontier of Spain, at the extremity of the Gulf of Lyons, and at a period of maritime war would afford our steam-boats a secure refuge. Moreover, it is even more than Toulon the centre of our communications with Algeria. The high lands surrounding Port Vendres protect the ships in the harbour against the effects of the north-west wind which sometimes blows so violently in the Gulf of Lyons. The distance from the port to Algiers is twenty leagues shorter than from Toulon to that point. Every consideration, therefore, combines to recommend this part of the coast to the attention of the Government, as it is possible to establish there at a trifling expense another harbour of refuge." It appears from a report made by the Committee on the Paris fortifications that the total sum ex pended since their commencement in 1841 is 108,000,000 f., about 4,000,0001., and that thirty-two millions voted in addition to that sum by the Chamber remain in the hands of the Government. The following is a brief outline of the report. It may be necessary to state that the metre is equal to rather more than thirty-nine inches, and that the continuous wall extends to fully twenty-three miles : " The whole of the continuous wall is laid down, and amounts in length to 38,625 metres. The scarp has been commenced to the extent of 38,141 metres, and of this number 35,358 are completely finished. It will, therefore, be seen that the masonry of the circle is nearly eomplete. The fifteen advanced forts are all in course of construction. All of them have their escarpes finished and covered with their coping, with the single exception of the fort of Aubervilliers, which was not commenced till 1843, but which is also in a state of great forwardness. The counterscarps in masonry have been commenced in the forts of Romanville, Noisy, Rosen , ' Nogent, Charenton, Ivry, Issy, and Mount Valerien, to the extent, in all, of 6,334 metres, of which 5,716 metres are completed. All the casemates of the forts are made, with the sole exception of that of Aubervilliers, which will be executed at the commencement of the approach ing season. As regards the buildings with which the forts will be provided, twenty-two powder magazines have already been built and covered in, and two more are ready to be roofed. The interior of these magazines will not be completed till the last mo ment, in order that every precaution possible may be taken against damp. Four ball-proof barracks at Charenton and Mount Valerien are covered in. The one is already occupied, and the other can be so at any time. Thirteen other buildings, not proof, and intended as barracks for soldiers andtofficers, have also been finished in the dif ferent forts. Of these five are already occupied by the troops. Five other barracks have been commenced, and are in a forward state. The military roads on the right bank were completed last year, but on the left bank only those have been made which lead to the forts of Ivry, Bicetre, Montrouge, Vanves, and Issy. The road from Mount Valerien to Suresnes is nearly finished, and will be in use in the course of the approaching season. The greatest number of workmen employed at any one time during the year 1844 on the fortifications was 11,518, of whom 5,076 were military." Accounts from Lucerne of the 7th inst. state that the Catholic cantons which aided in defeating the volunteer corps, lay claim to a share of the ransom money, but Lucerne is not at all inclined to accede to the proposition. Much interest is excited in Paris respecting the fate of Dr. STEIGER. Strong repre sentations have been made in his favour. Delegates have been sent for that purpose to the Lucerne Government by several of , the other cantons, and the representatives of the Foreign Powers have thrown their influence into the balance on the side of mercy. These means, it is thought, will be ultimately suc cessful, so far as that the ;life of Dr. STEIGER will be saved. The Paris Globe says it is enabled to state that his life will be spared, and we cordially hope that the Government of Lucerne will not render itself infamous by carrying the sentence into execution. At TORTONI'S, on Sunday, the Three per Cents. were done at 86f. 20c. But we recur to the conclusion of the paper we have quoted for an incidental notice of the Soloo Islands that is calculated to give a casual, but striking notion of the admirable position of those islands, and he relations of that of Manilla to them. " Let a British Consul," he says, " be established at Manilla to watch the progress of events which, under the new relations of China with Europe, may, at no distant day, render that settlement the most important entrepot on the Eastern seas, and finally let the Government take steps to acquire a knowledge of the extent and present state of the general trade of these valuable islands, the duties chargeable at the several ports, and the impediments which exist in the way of British commerce."—(How much, may we parenthetically inquire, of this sort of information is really in possession of the Foreign or Colonial office, or the Board of Control, at this moment?)—" A single commissioner, if well chosen, would supply all that is wanted as regards trade, and at the same time throw valuable light upon the natnral history and state of society in the whole region ; although it might be well that, in the first place, his attention should be more especially directed to the principal ports in Sumatra, Borneo, Celebes, and the Soloo Archipelago. Now we have no doubt that the necessity of an intermediate station for her trade with China will be at least as sensibly felt by France as her want of such a station for her Levant trade. Will she be less indifferent to national rights in supplying this deficiency in the one case, than she showed herself to be in the other? If the credulity of English statesmanship be still as plastic as it was in 1830, and again in 1834, French duplicity may play over again, with equal success, the game in which it so completely finessed the Ca binet of St. James's—touching, first, the conquest ; and, secondly, the permanent occupation of Algiers. On both occasions our Foreign Minister was wilfully or preposterously blind to intentions that were univer sally seen through by the common sense of the Eng lish people. When the expedition of General (now Marshal) BOURMONT, in 1830, to demand satisfaction for so:ne insults to the French flag, terminated in the deposition of the DET, and the overthrow and extinc tion of that Turco-African Government, it was apparent to Englishmen in every part of the king dom—except the little precinct of Downing-street — that a permanent establishment in the Mediterra nean was the real object of this French aggression. A degree of natural uneasiness and distrust was created in the public mind, and especially among the commercial community. Remonstrances were ad dressed to the Government, and in Parliament on several occasions the attention of Ministers was that shameless teitor, duplicity" was being utterly to which a directed to the susp icious char acter of the transaction. Four years rolled on, in the course of which our Foreign departmen t p er p etuall y assuring all inquirers " that there was n o desi g n on t he part of the French iger ine territory," t to bamboozled retain by A French Minister unscrupulously resorts, whenever there is a coup d'etat to be effected, the results of which are likely to be of magnitude sufficient to warrant to Frenchmen the experiment. At the end of May, 1834, the declaration of the French Mi nistry (in the teeth of the solemn assurance which had just before been given to ours, in the name of the KING, to the contrary) confirmed the apprehensions of the British public and the infatuation of the British Ministry, The French Government coolly " pro nounced" for permanent occupation, and it was found that the moment for preventive negotiation was passed. That the French have since bungled and mismanaged their conquest is only in the usual course of their inaptness at colonial organisation ; but it might have been imagined that such a lesson of poli tical perfidy would not have been soon forgotten. To judge, however, by the little sensation hitherto excited by the announced design they have of occupying the Soloo Islands, we are afraid that we shall be little better prepared to counteract this movement on the Indian ocean, than we unfortunately were to neutral ize their movement in the Levant. Our readers, who will, perhaps, from the considera tions above premised, concur with us in our estimate of the positive value of Manilla, and its enormously enhanced value in relation to the Soloo Islands, will participate also in the apprehension with which we regard the possible result of their occupation of the Soloo territory, in an exchange with the Spanish Government, under some pretext or other, for Manilla. That would be, indeed, a change of pro prietorship by no means to be desired. But when we recollect the paramount, absolute, and all-efficient influence of the French Cabinet on the Court and Councils of Spain, we must not close our eyes to that contingency even. And who shall say that other and higher considerations would deter the French Cabinet from seizing so advantageous an opportunity of Oriental aggrandisement, should it once present itself? Let us hope the Soloo question will not quite escape the present notice of her MAJESTY'S Government. THIS DAY'S NEWS. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Common Jury. STIFF V. PIERCE. Mr. Martin and Mr. Saunders appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Humphries and Mr. V. Lee for the defence. This was an action brought to recover damages for injury done to plaintiff by the negligent driving of defendant. On the 11th June, 1844, defendant's servant was driving an omnibus towards Paddington, and the plaintiff's servant was driving a carriage from Vere-street to Bond-street, when the pole of the omnibus struck the carriage, by which it sus tained injury to the extent of 191. Witnesses having been called to prove the occurrence, several others were produced to prove that the contact was purely accidental, and could not have been avoided by the omnibus driver. The case occupied hut a very short time; and the jury after a minute's consultation found a verdict for the plaintiff —Damages, 191. 155., and costs. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff KENNEDY.) GLADSTANE V. CLARK. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 31. the value of a number of tickets of admission to the Adelphi Theatre, of which the plaintiff was formerly treasurer. George Knell was called, and proved that in March, 1844, the plaintiff took a benefit at the above theatre, and witness took several packages of tickets to different persons, and one to defendant, who was oil and colourman to the theatre. The tickets were doge up in a paper, and 51. was marked outside. The defendant said he thought it hard he should be " sad dled" with five pounds worth, but he did not mind taking two or three pounds—two pounds worth were returned. Cross-examined—Could not say whether when he took the tickets he said they were from Mr. Gladstane or Mr. Morgan Gladstane. Mr. Gladstane (Thomas) was lessee of the theatre. Mr. Morgan Gladstane is his son. Defendant served the colours to the theatre. Witness was in the habit of ordering the goods; those orders were from Mr Gladstane. Re-examined—Benefit tickets were numbered,and had the signature or initials of the party who had the benefit. Those produced bore the initials " M. R. G.," all the orders for oil were signed "T. G." Believes that" M. R. G." is not on all the tickets of the theatre. Benefit tickets do not always bear the name of the party at full length. Mr. Geo. Adam Bather—Was engaged at the kdelphi Theatre in March last as check-taker, and had the manage ment of the free list. It is customary for the treasurer of a theatre to have a benefit, but not for the lessee. The night in question was what theatricals called a stock night," that was one of the nights of the season not usual for benefits. There were advantages in it, for the party did not have to pay so much for the theatre, as stock pieceswere played, and they bad not to go to the whole expense of the bills; on those nights the name of the party did not ap pear on the tickets. The tickets of the theatre did not, generally bear a signature—they were now at most theatres of brass or bone; but tickets taken at the box-office might perhaps bear the signature of the box-keeper—they were dif ferent from the other. Cross-examined—Benefit tickets bear a date, The ordinary ticket. By the UNDER •SUERIFF—" M. R. G." signifies the sig nature of Mr. Gladstane. as the party taking the benefit. The treasurer did not sign or countersign ordinary tickets. The cards bought at the theatre on that night would have been different, but the money received for them, or at the doors, would have been handed over to llr. Morgan Glad stane. Edward Booth—Was money-taker on the night in ques tion. It was an open benefit for Mr. Morgan Gladstane alone. Mr. W. C. Gladstane, solicitor, produced the licence for the Adelphi Theatre. The UNDER SHERIFF said be did not consider it necessary to put it in ; there was no issue on the subject. Mr. BOOTUDY addressed the jury, and contended that the tickets were re ce i ve d f rom Mr. Thomas Gladstane as a set-off for part of his account, and that the custom was for parties taking benefits to give the lessee a certain number of tickets, instead of the whole of the price of the house in cash ; as the lessee could send them round to the various trademen. He considered that this was a family farce of " Raising the wind," and the father and sons were clever performers, either of them capable of sustaining the part of Jeremy Didler. He had little fear but that he should have a verdict in his favour. It appeared to him that it was an action prin cipally brought to put casts in the pockets of Mr. Gladstane, the solicitor, or proceedings would have been taken in another Court. The UNDER-SHERIFF said the most important question was, what took place between the defendant and Knell, the witness. If he said he took the tickets from Mr. Gladstane, Mr. Clarke, the defendant must have understood he had them from Mr. Gladstane, the lessee; but the next witness had. ex plained that the tickets were very different; bat it did not clearly appear that the defendant, although he he ,d had something to do with the theatre, perfectly understood the different rules of the theatre, and he might have st ipposed that he was receiving them as suggested from the 1 , Assee, as Knell, the witness, was well known to defendant as. the ser vant to Mr. Thomas Gladstane. The jury, without hesitatien, gave a verdict for the de fendant. We have intelligence from Madrid to the sth inst. In the discussion on the budget of receipts, which commenced that day in the Chamber of Deputies, a proposition was brought forward by Senor AGuAvo, for raising an annual revenue of 150,000,000 reals (1,500,0001.), by an income-tax and tolls at the gates of the principal towns in Spain• The motion, which led to some discussion, was adjourned. According to accounts from Barcelona great preparations were in progress for the reception of the Court. The Three per Cents. closed at 344 for cash, and 34i at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 25 11-16 at 60 days ; the Provisional Debt at 8i and the Debt without interest at 84 at 60 drys• There is no intelligence in the Paris papers of much interest. The last accounts from Africa are considered unsatisfactory.

CONSPIRACY.— BasiI Cochrane Willis and Lionel Piaper Goldsmid, surrendered to take their trial on a charge of hay. ing conspired for the purpose of defrauding Edmund Herne of two bills, of the respective value of 600/. and 5001. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the proaecu- tion, Mr. Bodkin with Mr. Charnock for the defence. The case, which has already been frequently before the public in the reports of the Marlborough-street Police• court, may again be very briefly stated. It appeared that the pro secutor held, on March 2Gth last, the two promissory notes referred to, and on that day one of the defendants, Willis, with whom he had been previously acquainted, called upon him, and in the course of conversation gave the prosecutor to un derstand that he had a friend who was desirous of investing some money in safe bill transactions, and that if he (prose cutor) would entrust him with these notes, he would get them discounted. The prosecutor having no suspicion of his friend's integrity, at once gave up the notes to his custody, on an understanding that he should see him next day with the money, he allowing the defendant 301. as commission for his trouble in conducting the negotiation. 'Willis did come next day, but without the money. He said, however, he should pay it over the moment he received it from his friend. No con sideration had ever been received for the notes, and the pro secutor had not been able to ascertain what had become of them. Dr. Ryan proved that, on the 2i.7th of March, the defendant Goldsmid called upon him at his house in Cavendish-square, and in the course of conversation relative to the letting of a house, the defendant said that a friend of his, named Parker ' had lately been swindled out of some bills by persons of the names of Bartlett and Herne, and that he had employed a friend. named Willis, to go to the latter person and get possession of the bills, by representing that he could get them discounf - ed. This he stated Wills had been successful in accomplishing, and he (Goldsmid) had at that very time the bills in his possession. Mr. BODKIN contended that no case of conspiracy had been Pans ara Lyons, Gan neron's Paris &Lyons, (Calon's) 2 .••••• ............ •.,:. 1 Paris and Strasbourg Paris and St. Quentin Royal North of Spain Sambre and Meuse 2 Erratum in Saturdly's list, 10th inst. Read Slue and Wolverhampton, 4% made out against Willis, and that Goldsmid only stood im plicated on his own admission to Dr. Ryan, as not a tittle of evidence had been adduced against him. The objection was, after considerable argument on either side overruled by the Recorder, and Mr. BODKIN then addressed the jury. He detailed the history of the transaction from the very beginning, repre senting the defendants as friends of a Mr. Milton, who was anxious to recover these bills by stratagem from the hands of certain persons who had in the first instance duped him. They (the bills) had then passed from the hands of those persona to Herne, and the present charge arose out of the ruse necessary for the recovery of the bill. Witnesses were then called for the defence, and examined by Mr. CIIARNOCK. (The trial was going on when our report left.) MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS clrY, QUARTEI? TO THREE.
