, CONT P 0 2,4 RY PRESS. THE TIVERTON TRICK.—(From a Correspondent of the Times.—"To a paragraph inserted yesterday a query was appended—what Mr. Kennedy was to obtain for-re signing, Tiverton in favour of Lord Palmerston, besides the unprofitable Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds? A city correspondent enables us to throw some light on, this subject by adverting to a rumour current 'yesterday at the India-house and on the Exchange, that the learned' 'gentleman has received, or is. about- to receive, the va luable appointment of Chief Justice at Madras, in the TOOlll of Sir Ralph Palmer. - Now the period of service of this latter gentleman which entitles him to his retiring pentiiin is ten years, and that time will expire next mo nth. Jr is at jiis iiption, however, to remain, if he prefers it, instead of atiming his pension. Sir Ralph Palmer has, we believe, written home to state his intention to return to En ,, land in January next, but without any format re signation of his office, or application : for his retiring allowancil. It suited the purpose, .however, of certain official persons to give such aninterpretation to his letter, nand accordingly ; without loss of time, an order is signed , qconferring% on Sir Ralph Palmer his retiring .pension.— This fixes his resianation, and the post being. with equal celerity (as the report goes) conferred on Mr. Kennedy, the borough of Tiverton: is open . to Lord Palmerston, who will no doubt be. most warmly welcomed by the electors. It is right, however, they should know all the circumstances which have preceded the honour. about to be conferred upon them." [We can scarcely believe this ..statement. What I a barrister totally unknown in his profession to be made Chief Justice of the second preSi . dency of the Indian empire ? This surely is, beyond even Whig jobbery'.] • COLONEL Fox.—The attacks upon us in some of the radical papers, relating to Lord John Russell, forced upon our recollection yesterday the letter of a correspondent signing himself ' 4 Veritas," who had communicated a ra ther ridiculous story about the noble lord being mis-taken for a damsel, under process of elopement. Connected with his lordship's proceedings on that. occasion was the gallant Col. Fox, then and at present ex-member for. Stroud, who had evacuated the spick-ond-span new bo rough, that my Lord John might get possession of it; all which accordingly took place. However, it was put in our hearts by some sly observer, to ask what "considera tion" the honourable and gallant officer was to receive for what must otherwise have seemed an act of selfdevo tion, somewhat beyond the utmost limit of that heroism which the fashions of modern times hold up.to a patriot's admiration. Colonel Fox accepted the chiltern hun dreds—one certainly among the least lucrative offices un der the crown—but one which being now and then occu pied by gentlemen in a state of transition to something better, served, we presume, as the groundwork of a be lief the gallant Pylades of Stroud would not long be suf fered by Iris grateful Orestes to languish unreosmpenced for the sacrifice he had made to disinterested friendship. We therefore were advised to.put the interrogatory whe ther Colonel Fox was or was not, in the above instance, one of two parties to an arrangement whereby Stroud was surrendered, and something else was to be acquired in lieu of it ? We shaped our question so as literally to aim at Canada, whither it had been made public that a commission was about to be sent, of which commission we also learned that the gallant colonel was to he a mem ber, but substantially the purpose was to ascertain wire- Cher Colonel Fox was to get any, and if anv, what corn,: pensation for the loss of Stroud'? The answer, as might have been guessed by any shrewd observer of whig tac tics, was a prompt ,and indignant negative. " What! office for any man of the name of Fox ? Compensation ! for yielding up a seat in Parliament to the leader of the Fox-O'Connell party ? Lord ! how this world is given to lying! Why, we are authorized' to state.that there is not the smallest intention of sending Colonel Fox to Canada, and strange to say, it was quite " authentic." So far from- Colonel Fox going all the way to Canada, be spurned at the notion. The gallant and amiable gen tleman (for, spe . aking seriously, be is both) had no idea of budging a foot beyond Pall Mall, and thence he sends despatches to Canada instead of being despatched thither himself, for he is made Secretary to the Master-General of the Ordnance. It is indeed a masterly retreat, albeit not entirely unmolested.—Times. ' MosictrAL CORPORATIONS. — Once .again ,we advise seperusal and a re-perusal of Sir R. Peel's speech,' to all Who can relish the playful chastisement of pretension and coxcornbrv. One word as to the municipal corporation reform. *We observe the whig-radical press preparing to crow exultingly over thiS reform, as if it were a vic tory to be obtained over conservatives. Now, we de clare at once, it is nothing less. In polities more than half the corporations in the kingdom have ever been the reverse of conservative, and the dastardly manner in which the immense majority of the corporations submit ted to the. illegal commission of last year shows how little they were to be relied upon as supporters of the constitutional conservative principle. We may lament over the threatened fate of Leicester and Norwich, and perhaps one or two more, that :gallantly asserted the principles of the British constitution. But in this, as in every other case of general change, the honourable and virtuous few must abide the destiny of the worthless mass. In other respects, we see great benefit likely to result from almost any change in the corporation system. Be sides that scarcely any change can be made which will not remove sonic of those causes of local irritation that, are ever the seeds of political dis Content, whatever shall expand corporate constituencies will remove from the aristocracy a motive for that sygtem of dealing with their fellow-subjects by delegation, and, as it were by , contract, fur which close corporations formed a conve nient instrument; and by which the aristocracy have, in many cases, lost their bold upon the affections of the pktople.—Standard.• LORD MULGRAVE.—That dignity, of character is not always associated with rank, is a truth which, however the whip noblemen of this present day may forget it, Lord Mulgrave seems anxious that we should remember. We have no justification for this nobleman's weakness but his vanity; or, if our readers think that he is more vain than weak, let them invert the terms, and carry the coinpliment to his lordship. It is a better apology for his conduct than his friends have made for him, but we trust a worse one than he will be able to make for him. self. It is painful to see the shifts to which the whigs are brought—not only by their position, but their prim. ciples. If Lord Melbourne remain six months in office, he will find himself as O'Connell is now—such an enemy • to truth, that he will not be able to speak it except for the purposes of falsehood. This certainly must be the case, if he undertake, as in Lord Mulgrave's business, to palliate the errors of those who hold office under him. In making this assertion, we forget not the relation in Which he stands to a man who will furnish him with the! apology, but not with the means of .escaping from the dishonour it will bring upon him. O'Connell will at once suggest the falsehood, and leaYe him to its punish ment; the talent of the lie will ascribed to the one, the disgrace of haying used it to the other. At present, however, Lord Melbourne defends his friends upon his own strength, and may set off the ability with which he' does it against the odium attending it. If this satisfies himself, we have no reason to quarrel with his delicacy. Still it must be a foul coalition which gives such ascend ancy to the knave over the gentleman, for we never doubted that Lord Melbourne was a man of honour and integrityi and, notwithstanding Iris imperfections as a statesman, i'we - i'an . scarcely doubt it yet., As to Lord Mulgra%.e and him, we know not on which side the ob ligation between them lies, nor which of the two has the strongest claim on our respect—Lord Mulgrave for - having, by an unjustifiable violation of the 'law,. identified hithself with a seditious .and treasonable procession; or Lord Melbourne, for having attempted, as first minister of the crown, to advocate the king's deputy and the cap of liberty in the same breath, and to put legality and sedition on the same footing. The truth of it is, that Lord Mulgrave is more ambitious than prudent ;. and, in gratifying ambition, what great mind regards the penalty paid for its attainment ? His lordship imagines himself on the high road to glory, and conceives that he is suc cessfully labouring. in the attainment of immo rtal fame, as will appear by - his answer to the College address; but he should recollect, that " Glory is like -a circle in the water, Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself, Till, by broad spreading, it disperse to nought." .It matters little how Lord Melbourne may suffer — Lord Mulgrave has been introduced to Messrs. Costello, Reynolds, and the other leaders of the metropolitan mob. This is no common feat for an English nobletnaw to achieve, and a still more signal exploit for the represen tative of a constitutional King. Lord Mulgrave's conduct is, on.every view of it, inde fensible. He commenced his official Career by figuring as the tool of one party, and insulting the principles of another. Phis has been the theory of Whig legislation for some time past; but if we are ever forced to realize it. they may rest assured it will be on other groun6 titan a wish to justify the policy of our enemies. Lord Mul grave't wisdom in this matter will be—silence. If he bow with as Much complacency to the degradation he has already earned as he did to the symbols of sedition which surrounded him on his entrance to office, it will be a creditable specimen of Whig repentance. This is his only course—he may thus escape from the utter con tempt of those whom he has so deliberately insulted, and, what will be better for himsel f, from the further defence of Mr. O'Connell' and his friends.—Dublin Evening Mail.

The opening of these Assizes is fixed for the 18th of May. The most important case in the list is that of the Abbe de Roubig,nac. r, he following is the act of accusa• tion in this case. It is impossible to read it without feel- ings of horror. - Elizabeth Louisa Faramond, the daughter of an honest , tradesman in Valence, died in that city on the 4th of January, 1835. S!ie had hardly completed her 18th year, and her bloom, which was in all its fulness up to the end of last November, had not led her friends to imagine that they were so soon to lose her. • In the -month of December," however, she began to Waste rapidly, and such, a transition from perfect health to decay gave rise to rumours respecting her, which the hand of death served to aggravate. It was first whispered, and afterwards boldly affirmed, that Elizabeth. Louisa Fararnond had fallen a victim to certain treatmerfii witteli her person was made to go through. She. had always been remarkable for the purity of her morals,,her pious habits, and a chaste and timid bearing. • The Mayor of Valence having gathered depositions from various persons, and among them the parents of the deceased, transmitted them to the justice of the peace of the canton, who did not lose a nyytent in filling the duty imposed on him. On the very ay that the girl died he proceeded to look at the corpse, accompanied by a medical officer of the place. On the following day he returned similarly attended. The body was examined, when there appeared on each of the two breasts the traces of wounds in a round shape. One of these had recently healed, and the other was still covered with a crust. Round the waist there were the marks of an instrument in the shape of a belt,- which must have remained applied for a certain length of t ime, and which, according to very visible marks, must have been composed of wire, nearly two inches in width; and lined inside with points, which had penetrated the skin, particularly 'on the sides of the body, where two black crusts still adhered, and at the back, where several holes, made apparently by nails, were still open. There were traces on the fore-parts of the two arms. of wounds. On the one there was a crust of the form and size of a franc-piece; the other had the appearance of having been done by the pricking of a great number of pins applied at once. In the lower hind parts of the body there were similar wounds, in the same state as the above. The thighs had also marks of wounds inflicted not long before, and which were covered with crusts of the shape and size of a two-franc piece. The medical inspector of these marks declared that the causes must have been operating some time before the last three weeks; that some of the wounds which had left the marks must have been effected by means of hot irons ; and that the others were made by the application of instruments which had bruised the skin without cutting or dividing it. On a report of these circumstances being made to the Procureur du Roi at Albi, that functionary deemed it necessary that a new. inquiry should be made. A new examination of the body, therefore, took place on the 13th of January. It was undertaken by two medical gentlemen legally deputed, and who were instructed to examine the appearance of every part of the body. Be sides the above appearances and conclusions, it was ascertained and declared that the virginity of the deceased had remained intact. But other appearances gave reason to think that the body had been the victim of the most horrid depravity. The question then was, who had thus pricked, bruised, flagellated, torn, burnt, and branded in so infamous a manner the body of the young girl ? Who had torment ed the virgin whose youth and innocence ought to have protected her against a martyrdom which could only be fit for the most inveterate sinner, if even there it could possibly be agreeable to God ? It was impossible to think that she could herself have done all that appeared, and it was evident that an assisting baud, at least, had completed much of the mischief done. The public voice named the Abbe Roubignac, vicar of Valence; and al ready the eccleiiastieal authorities had instituted an in quiry,' and collected evidence. An attempt was made to represent him as a victim of the spirit of irreligion.and of party ; but the prelate who governs the diocess of Albi caused a letter to be written to him, saying that nothing was spoken of in the diocess but the scandalous disorders of his conduct, and that it had become necessary that. he' should appear "whiter-in the eyes of God than in the, eves of men." 'The judicial authority having also its duties to had, then, merely to pursue the course which had been! opened by the ecclesiastical authority, and here oncee, more what had been heard before. The facts which have come out of this investigation are these :—The Abbe Roubignac had been at 4alence only a short period.— He had admitted Elizabeth L. Faramond among his • . " penitents" soon after his arrival. He discovered that she had a disposition to piety and religion amounting to bigotry, and that she had an exceedingly credulous mind. He had worked upon this disposition of hers, by imposing on the young girl a variety of practices ostensibly reli gious, which occupied the whole of her time. At day - - break she was at church, and after dark she was still seen there. , This religious fervour was carried to an excess that gave uneasiness to her parents. Bat these outward practices, however did not alter her health. It was only towards the latter part of November that her spirits be gan to change. Her appearance began to alter, her colour faded, and by degrees all the motions of her body became constrained; at last she was unable to sit down or get up without great difficulty. She was evidently under the influence of bodily pain, though she answered all questions by an assurance that she suffered merely from indigestion. Avery different cause, however, soon be came visible, for her mother discovered stains of blood in different parts of her - linen. The mother therefore press ed her inquiries until actual pain and maternal influence working together brought about a complete, though gra dual, disclosure. She was at length induced to confess that the Abbe Roubignac had procured for her, and placed with his own hands round her naked body, the wire.belt. Her mother endeavoured to force it off, but was unable to do it without being assisted by strong ex ertions on the part of her daughter, who, after undoing it, could not detach it without the greatest difficulty and pain, the points with which it was-inside studded having so far entered the skin as to fix it coMpletely on her body. She moreover said, that besides this cruel and permanent torture inflicted on her, the Abbe Roubignac had, with a knife, cut open her right arm, driven pins into her left arm, burnt her breasts and hind parts with a hot poker, and flagellated several parts ,ofher . person with an instru ment made with very fine wires, which were sharp at the ends. She stated, that in order to do these things, he used to take her into his room, lock the door, and draw the curtains. Her mother frequently asked her certain questions which seemed to confuse her much, and the only answer site would give to these questions was, " I have said enough." Enough indeed she had said to free her a little from the restraint under which she had laboured by an injunction of secrecy "imposed by di vine law ;" so that she soon began to repeat to her female friends what she had made known to her mother. One day she observed to a young friend of her's who appeared to enjoy perfect health, " I too should bewell had it not/ been for the Abbe Roubignac. I could have borne the belt, but I could not bear the rest." She would not, however, explain what she meant by the latter words. It is immaterial that Elizabeth M. Faramond should not have been brought to give judicial evidence before her death. . The state in which her body was found, the. nature and the situation of the wounds, her slow and in - genuons avowals, sufficiently establish that it was the Abbe Roubignac that. had been the author of her ills. What would seemtoplaee this beyond a doubt is the fact that she had confessed all these things to the respectable curate of Valence, who, not having received them under the seal of a regular confession, did not conceive himself bound to withhold' them from the knowledge of judicial authorities. A dark mystery, however, seemed yet to hang over so many atrocities, which it was necessary to unravel: The author of the wounds was now known, but what were his motives? During; the atrocious sufferings that he in, flieted on her, he made her repeat five . pate - and five ave. He tried to make her endure them by frequently ex claiming, "Courage, my child, courage !" He reminded her of the sufferings of Christ. He declared he had caused the belt to be made for his own use. It might, therefore, have been supposed that a false zeal had in duced him to think that he was doing what must be agree able in the sight of God, when he inflicted on another what he would have inflicted on himself. But the choice of his victim was such as to authorize a supposition that, by the means employed in tormenting her, he had sought the gratification of brutal desires. Perhaps, too, he had made her go through the severity of the discipline in or der to mislead her entirely as to his mode of satisfying his beastly passion. What strengthens this. supposition is that a variety of circumstances relative to the conduct and life of the Abbe Roubignac have come to light, by which it appears that his disorders had allowed him to re main but a short time in a parish, and such became his reputation that the other priests, under whose. depend ence he was to be placed, saw him appear with the ut most regret... It has been proved that he was in the ha bit of attracting young girls into his room, where he used to keep them for several hours; and it is known that he himself made no scruple openly to boast of certain liberties he was in the habit of taking with them, which betrayed his secret inclinations. These were proved by the evidence of six young girls and one widow, whose testimony was taken during the inquiry. One 61. them has related all the infamous practices that the Abbe Roubignac allowed hinvelf, with her on the very day of the Fete-Dieu.. Only a few moments after, he celebrated ,mass, and carried thelloly Sacrament in thei procession. This is not the only profanation imputable to the Abbe Roubignac. He was in the habit of saying to the young girls whose resistance he could not overcome, that his object had been solely to by them, and that he commended their uprightness i in which he advised them to persevere! None of these acts, however, were accompanied with via fence, *so that they do not constitute - any crime of viola- Lion ; but they are niacis r:t.4f.! in the_ proceedings as a corroboration of the naitiCWAseriliable for the discipline imposed by the Abbe lloubig:Tac Fara- mend. But his excesses, the wounds of tortures inflicted by him, did not merely constitute acts of the most infamous immorality. It is necessary to discover whether they have occasioned the death of the victim'. According to the first medical report, death had ensued from some of the wounds., According to the second re port, the wounds were not of that serious nature as to be the direct or indirect cause of death. Of these two opinions the Chamber of Accusation .has adopted the .lattier, thinking that, so far, the indications .that death had been immediately caused by the wounds were not sufficieritly strong. "But that they had led to the disease 'which terminated in death is perfectly preSumable. .In, consequence thereof the said JacqUes"Roubignac, priest, ex-vicar at Valence, is accused of having voluntarily, and with premeditation, inflicted blows. and wounds on the person of Elizabeth Louisa Faramond; from the effects of which a disease or'disability of more than twenty days has been produced—a crime which is provided for by the articles 309 and 310 of the penal code, which fix a punishment of hard labour (the galleys) for a certain period. LORD BRQUGHAWS RESOLUTIONS RESPECTING EDUCATION. -1, That although the number of schools where some of the elementary branches of education are taught has greatly in creased within the last twenty years, yet that there still exists a deficiency of such schools, especially in the metropolis and other great towns, and that the means of elementary instruc tion , are peculiarly deficient in the counties of Middlesex and Lancaster. 2. That the kind of education given at.the greater number of the schools now established fur the poorer classes of the people is of a kind by no means sufficient - for their instruction, being for the most part confined to reading, writing, and a little arith metic; whereas, at no greater expense, and in the same time, the children might easily be instructed in the elements of the more useful branches of knowledge, and thereby trained to sober, industrious, prudent,-and virtuous habits. 3. That the number of infant schools is still exceedingly de ficient, and epecially in those great towns where they are most wanted for improving the morals of the people and preventing the commission of crimes. 4. That while-it is expedient to do nothing which may relax the efforts of private beneficence in forming and supporting schools, or which may.discourage the poorer classes of the people from contributing to the cost of educating their children, it is incinn. , bent upon parliament to aid in providing the effectual means of instruction where these cannot otherwise be obtained for the people. 5. That it is incumbent upon parliament to encourage in like manner the establishment of infant schools, especially in the larger towns. 6. That, for the purpose of improving the kind of education given at schools for the people at large, it is expedient to estab lish in several parts of the country seminaries where good schoolmasters may be trained and taught the duties of their profession. 7. That there are at present existing in different parts of the united kingdom funds, as Well real as personal, to a large amount, given or bequeathed to charitable purposes connected with education, but which, partly from.want of objects in the particular places to which such gifts are confined, partly from w'hnt of proper powers in the trustees, partly from other defects in the foundations, and partly from a change in the habits of the . people, have become in many instances unavailing to the pur poses for which they were originally intended„ and are .new productive of very inadequate benefit to. the country, _while, from want of publicity, abuses frequently creep into the manage ment of them, only to be remedied by tedious and expensive litigation. 8. That, in order to superintend the due and just application of the funds from time to time voted by parliament for the pro- - motion of education, to establish proper seminaries for training teachers, to encourage the trustees of charities connected with education in using beneficially the powers now possessed by them, to watch over the abuses of trusts committed by such trus tees, and to control the exercise of such new powers as parlia ment may grant them, it is expedient that a board of commis sioners be appointed, with powers and duties to be regulated by act of parliament. 9. That it is further expedient to give such board a power of fillirig up the number of trustees when these have fallen below the quorum in any . will or deed of foundation, subject to the ap proval of the special visitor, where there is one, and to authorize, subject to the like approval, the sale, the mortgage, or exchange of any property given to charitable uses connected with educa tion for the promotion of the objects of the foundation, as far as these may be deemed beneficial to the community. 10. That it be further expedient to give such a board a power, subject as aforesaid, of directing the trustees of any grammar school, where the funds- are sufficient, to apply such part thereof as may not be wanted for teaching grammar in provid ing the means of common and unproved education for the people at large. • 11. That it is further expedient to give such board a power, subject as aforesaid, with consent of the trustees, and subject to,appeal iu parliament,-to apply, a portioa of the funds in trusted to them in -such manner as to produce a more,genethl benefit, and.at a cheaper rate, in the education of the people at arge, where the particular employment of the funds directed by the founder has become difficult from want of objects, or pre judicial from the employment pointed out being no longer bene- ficial to the community. 12. That it is further expedient to give such board the power, in conjunction with the trustees, of imposing conditions upon the masters of endowed schools, in respect of taking boarders, and otherwise conducting themselves; and of removing them, With consent of the trustees, in case of breach of such con ditions. 13. That it is further expedient to give such board the power of calling from time to time for accounts of the management of endowed schools, both from the trustees and from the teachers. 14. That it is expedient to require all trustees of charities connected with education to deliver yearly to his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State an account of all sums of money received and expended by them in the execution of their trust.

The King—in a bumper!—we'll drink to the crown And the sceptre so mildly held o'er us; For dear are those symbols of ancient renown — They were dear to our fathers before us. And 0 ! when the spell that is in them falls dead On the ear and the heart of a Briton, That moment the glory of England is fled— That moment her destiny's written ! The King of the Isles is no tyrant to fear, And no faction shall keep him a vassal ; The peasant is free in his cottage—the peer Is free in the light of his castle. And shall not our King be, in word and in will, As free as his people around him? 0 ! death to the traitors who, baffling him still, Iu fetters would hind, or have bound him ! DREADFUL COACH ACCIDENT, On Tuesday,morning, about four o'clock, the Halifax Hope coach was upset, on its, way to London,, between Heckliffe and Danstable. The coach was heavily laden with passengers and luggage, a large quantity . : of. the latter being very imprudently piled on the roof. At the time the accident occurred, the coach man was urging his hors6s forward at rather an immoderate speed, and ventured at the same pace .to descend a hill about two miles. beyond Dunstable, without taking the precaution of ordering the slipper to be put on the wheel. On the horses feel ing. their inability to support the great weight behind them, they . quickened their pace, and at lest became quite unmanageable; in consequence of which the coach, after reeling two or three times iu several directions, fell on the off side. The scene at this moment was truly heart-rending; the,greans and shrieks of the unhappy sufferers were the more distressing, as at that early hour it was quite, impossible to obtain immediate assist ance. Two or three gentlemen escaped almost immediately un hurt, and promptly took the best means of adininisteting relief. The rain at the time fell rather plentifully, and the quantity of blood which was flowing around clearly indieated.that injuries of no trifling nature had been sustained. The coachmaa and guard were found much injured (we have not yet heard the full extent), and lyingapparently.insensible. On a more close ex- , amination, it was found that the bodies of two gentlemen were buried beneath the luggage with which the roof was loaded.— After this had been removed with some difficulty, they were seen with their faces so dreadfully wangled and clotted with gore, that it was quite impossible to recognize the features most distantly, the whole forming a picture too horrible to des- Cribe. One of these gentlemen, we are informed, a Mr. Parker, of Tuffield, has received most severe contusions abotit the head, and is in great danger., The other, whose name we have not ascertained, was not so dangerously wounded. There were also several ladies and gentlemen who escaped with what• we hope we may call temporary injuries in comparison with the others. Medical aid was procured as speedily as circumstances would allow, and the sufferers were conveyed in post-chaises to Dunstable, where they are now being treated with every kind ness their deplorable. situation demands. We cannot help al luding to the shameful manner in which the roofs of the coaches from the manufacturing towns in- the North are loaded with luggage and packages, and proprietors of coaches should be careful that those whom they employ are laid under strict in junctions not to tamper.with the lives and comforts of indivi duals commited to , their. care. These disastrous .occurrences sometimes take place 'without blame being attachable to any party,. but when a little reflection will show that-caution and prudence were not exercised, the circumstances attending such a catastrophe as this are aggravated in, a tenfold degree. r ~- - •O•aM•111 EXPLOSION OF A POWDER MAGAZINE. MuN tot, 'MAY 16.—About 4P. rd. our city was thrown into consternation by a tremendous explosion. Ihe powder maga zine, situated at the disance of about half a league to the west of the city, had blown up, with the whole stock of bombs, grenades, Congreve-rockets, and 300 barrels of powder. The houses even in the remotest parts of the city were shaken, the rooms were filled with dust, and from the pressure of the atmosphere not only were the windows broken, and the fragments of glass scattered into the furthest corners of the rooms, wounding whomsoever they struck, but in many houses the window-frames were shattered, the doors forced from the locks and hinges, and many persons in the streets thrown down. The site of the mis fortune resembled at the first moment the crater of a volcano ; amid the columns of flame and the smoke, of the powder ap peared masses of stones, beams, and implements of the build ing, which were scattered in innumerable fragments, and were dispersed to a great distance in the surrounding fields. Immedi ately afterwards a dense yellowish smoke arose from the scene of destruction, and was driven by the wind towards the city : and the btrsting of some shells and bombs continued for a few minutes. Profound silence then ensued in that quarter. Scarcely was the explosion over when the streets where filled with crowds of people, who were hastening to the. spot to see the effects of the dreadful event. Every where were gendarmes officers in full gallop, lines of carriages, and bodies of troops. In a mo ment, as it were, the eminence on which the magazine had stood was covered, as far as the eye could reach, with a dense crowd. On the whole road the houses bore marks of the destructive ac cident; beyond the city were stones scattered far and wide, scorched timbers, intermixed with cannon balls, fragments of clothes, and, lamentable spectacle, mangled and blackened limbs of the unhappy persons who were at work in the magazine torn into innumerable pieces. Six persons perished. The master of the works had just before sent a seventh away on an errand, and he thereby, escaped. He stated that there was no appearance of fire or any danger of fire when he left, and the disaster seems to have been caused by an accidental spark. We may add, literally speaking, that not one shine of the magazine is left upon ano ther; the whole is swept away, - and lies level with the ground. MAY 17.—1 t has been made known to-day that the destruc tion of the power magazine was tip result of a deliberate plan. There has been found in the knapsack of an artilleryman, named Schmitt, who perished, a letter to his commanding officer, in which he declareathat the ill-treatment he received fro the subaltern officers had made him resalve to put an end to his life by blowing up the magazine. He was, it seems, formerly a student. His actual situation brought him to form a resolution which has proved fatal to, eight persons beside himself, for it appears to-lay that nine lives were lost by this crime. ALGIERS AND*BARBARY, The occupation of Algiers by the French has drawn the._ at tention of Europe to those once flourishing provinces, situate on that part of ,the coast of Africa which is washed by the . I .llediterranean, where the Pbcenicians, the Romans, the Van dals, and the Arabians, successfully erected powerful states. Of late Years, : some valuable works on _Algiers , and Barbary have appeared in France, especially by. one M. Rozet, which contain valuable data for the political, statistical, and natural history of this part of Africa. Nor are books ou Algiers and Barbary wanting amongst ns,_ \'c have before us an account of Algiers, with notices of the Neighbouring States of Barbary, by Mr. Percival Barton Lord, in two volumes, which has just appeared. It seems to be intended rather as what is termed a popular work than adapted to readers who have already acquired a general knowledge of this part of the world. It commences with an historical introduction, in which, after a mere glance at the antecedent history, the author takes up the transactions at the epoch of the irruption of the Saracens, bringing the history of Algiers down to its capture by the French. The geography of the country is next treated. Mr. Lord then devotes a large space to an account of the inhabitants, each of the different races being the subject of a separate chapter. Then follow dissertations on the diseases and medical treatment, the natu ral history of the country (on which the author states " much pains have been expended",) its topography, and on French sway in Algiers, which, according to their own writers, is marled with glaring characters of tyranny and blood. The work embodies a considerable mass of information, gathered from various sources; though here and there are marks of haste. A much more elaborate work on the same subject (though half the dimensions of Mr. Lord's) and which has appeared at the same time, is Dr. Russell's History of the:Present Condition of the Barbary States, forming a volume, of the Edinburgh Cabi net Library. This work evinces the care and research of a scholar. • Both writers make a sad havoc with Oriental terms and names. SALE OF TEAS IN CORK. The sale of teas imported in the Standard by the Messrs. Murphy—the first brought into this port direct from China— took place on- Friday. The bidding was extremely spirited. The quantity sold, and the price which each kind brought, we ,annex. The.qualities were unexceptionable. The sale occu pied about an hour and ten minutes, and the entire went off to the satisfaction of both the importers and the trade. 2(X) qr. chests bohea, congou packages, from Is. 51d. to Is. 7d per lb.

IRISH PROCESSIONS. • It cannot be denied that in Ireland we manage our affairs in a manner peculiarly our own. Jo what other country on earth, for example, do pro-cessions follow instead of lead tl►e way? That such, however, is the custom in Ireland, we hare the authority of no less a personage than the lion. C. B. Phipps, the brother-in-law of the lord lieutenant, and his public, if not his private secretary, a gentleman advantageously known in the literary world as the contributor of several fugitive pieces to " The Keepsake," " Friendship's Offe►ing," and "The Comic Annual." ------ " I think," says Captain Phipps, in his letter (No. 3) to Mr. Long, " that you will agree with me, that it would be neither useful or becoming in me to do more than hint at the difference between a lord-lieutenant putting himself at the head of a pro cesSion, and a procession voluntarily following the lord-lieute nant." Very unbecoming, indeed. Strangers should, as far as possible, accommodate themselves to the customs of the people with whom they reside, without holding them up to ridicule or contempt ; and, since (as Captain Phipps has observed) it, is the custom in Ireland for processions to follow instead of lead, we think he exer:ises a sound discretion in merely " hinting" at the anomaly.—Dublin Evening Mail. THE COURT. THE PRINCESS,VICTQP.IA'S BIRTHDAY,—Monday the anni versary of the Princess Yictoria's birthday (which fell on Sun day) was kept at Kensingtot. At an early hour in the morning the flag was hoisted at the church, and the bells rang a merry peal. During the day large numbers of the nobility left their cards at the palace. In the evening the Duchess of Kent gave a grand dinner party to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Augusta, &c. At seven o'clock the princess's tradespeople dined at the Grapes Tavern ; and at night the High-street presented one blaze of light, most of the houses being illuminated; among which the most conspi cuous for their brilliancy were those of Mr. Breeze, linen-draper, Mr. Slater, butcher, Mr. Haines, wine-merchant, Mr. Wells, jeweller, the King's Arms and the Grape Tavern, &c.
