SPAIN.

In the rumoured resignation of Lord Bowden the
Herald* pays:
Several journals have announced that the Ambassador
of her Britannic Majesty in this city has sent in his resigna-
tion to London in consequence of the change of cabinet which
has just taken place. Although such a proceeding is usual in
diplomacy,end all the representatives of the Queen of England
abroad give in their resignation not only when there is •
total change of cabinet, but when the minister on whom
they depend is changed, this step has not yet been taken,
inasmuch as Lord Bowden does not yet know officially of
the nomination of the new Minister of Foreign Affair'.
Nevertheless, resignations are not always accepted ; and
not many years ago we saw a ministerial change in Eng-
land without any one of the diplomatic agents being
changed. We should be very glad if the same fact should now
occur es regards Spain. Whatever may be the foreign
policy which Lord Derby proposes to follow, we believe it
difficult for him to find a better representative for Spain
than Lord Bowden, or one more acquainted with oar cus-
toms and ideas, or more generally respected by all parties,
and, consequently, better qualified to draw closer the ties of
friendship, which, in our opinion, are alike advantageous to
both countries.

Six journals were seized at Madrid on the 3rd
inst.. by order of the political chief, namely :—The
Constitutional, Clamor Public°, Las Novedades, 06-
sereador, Opinion Publiea, and Ileraklo.

In the sitting of the 6th the Chamber of Deputies
at Turin com*ted the election of the members of
its bureau, after which tho Minister of Finance
presented the following eight bills, : For the ap-
probation of the treaty of commerce concluded be-
tween Piedmont and Sweden ; for that of the treaty
of commerce with France; for the registration of
private agreements; for the modification of the tax

lion of the sdor administration of public instruc-
tion, and mas br the institution of a social fund

GERMANY.

VIENNA, Dimwit 6.
According to telegraphic despatches, the Emperor
had, on the morning of the 3rd inst., at Verona, a
grand review in honour of the Grand Prince Con-
stantine, who was present. The Emperor and Re-
detzky wore the Russian uniform, and durirg the
review the Russian hymn was played. The Emperor
then proceeded to inspect the fortifications, and after-
wards entertained the general staff and the chief
local authorities at the imperial table. At 6 p.m. ho
left Verona by train, and arrived at Venice in three
hours and a 'half. Next morning, at an early hour,
he embarked in the war-steamer Volta for Trieste.
Lord Derby's speech in the House of Lords, upon
the refugee question has been received, as it might
have been expected, with extraordinary satisfaction
in Austria, and the Vienna papers are very eloquent
upon the subject. The Audriaa Correspondence,
the mouthpiece of the ministry, complains of the
pitiless manner in which Prince Schwarzenberg's
despatch to Lord Granville has been handled by the
English papers, and congratulates itself on the
favourable contrast in the language held by Lord
Derby on the same subject.
The Lloyd, which is supposed to express the sen-
timents of the government, has the following upon
the late changes in the administration of affairs in
England :
From our point of view, a tory cabinet is better than a
whig one ; but our wishes must not be confounded with
our opinions. Lord Derby will fall. The conservative
party in England is now taking up a position which no
conservative party ta any land can bold with honour. When
the privileged dames of a state are so ill advised as to make
laws which only serve their own interests, to the prejudice of
the rest of the people, they are lost. Only the poor and
their representatives have the right to be selfish; the
rich ought never to make laws for filling their own pockets.
While the bales have for their rallying cry " Tho constitu-
tion so it stands!"—" No changes,' .they may conquer; bat
when they write upon their banners the words" Dear bread,"
while whigs, Peelites, and the men of Manchester take
" Cheap bread " fur their motto, the result of the struggle
ceases to be doubtful. The tones assert, indeed, that the
cheap bread of the manufacturer brings want and hunger
to the agriculturist, and declare that the whigs have built
the prosperity of the towns ou the ruin of the agricultural
population. To this argument of the landlords there Is,

MINES.

TUMIDLY RUINING.
The market has been rather more active to-day,
and transactions have taken place in Alfred Console,
Oarreg, South Tamar, Bedford, Trelawnoy, West Al-
' trod Consols, West Caradon, &c.
In the market for gold mining shares to-day there
i was an almost total absence of business. Agua Fries
were firm, and ruse 2s. ed., but other descriptions
were stationary. Anglo Californians closed fiat.
Sierra Nevada were quoted i to i prem.; Victoria,
par to i prem.; Carson's Creek, I to I, prem. ; Co-
lonial, 1 to i prem. ; Lake Bathurst, par to } prem.;
I Port Phillip and Quarts Rock, I dia. to par; Auri-
ferous Ore, I to i din.
Great Polgooths met with some transactions, but
the price was a shade lower. 1

' rather higher, with negotiations at 1211 to
122. Dills on St. Petersburg, Italy, Sicily,
Spain and Portugal exhibited scarcely any variation,
the business transacted being on a limited Neale.
Vienna and Trieste were lower, with a moderato de-
mand ; fur the former, 12.34 to 38 was realised, and
for the latter 12.38 to 38.

The bullion market presents no change of import-
ance. The shipments of cola to this side from New
York continues undiminished, as is shown by the
arrival of specie to the amount of 140,0001. by the
Canada, but the adv ices to hand mention that the
decline in the price of American gold at London
will prevent its use as a medium of remittance, un-
less, as is probable, a proportionate advance in bills
should be realised.

SWITZERLAND.

Thelndependanee of Berne says:
We published yesterday an article from the ladverulanee
Help which announced that France bad transmitted an
ultimatum to Switzerland. We learn, in feet, that a now
trate reached Berne yesterday ; but if we are to believe per-
I ID= who declare they are well informed, that note was
completely favourable to the Federal Council, so that the
difficulties with France are removed for the moment.
The Suisse of Berne says:
It is this moment stated that a penile note, and favour-
able to this authority, reached Berne yesterday. It is not
impossible that such a note arrived, but it appears certain
that the Federal Council has not received it. Rumours in
a contrary sense have circulated Madre to the sudden
departure of M. Gobineau, the First Secretary of the
French Legation at Berne. It is now known that this
diplomatic agent left on Monday night for Paris. All sorts
of stories are circulated on that subject, bat up to the pre-
sent wo have reason to believe that those of an alarming
kind are entirely unfounded.
The Suisse of Berne makes this single comment
upon the French note published in the German
journals :
- - - - - - - -

-
II this be the text of tbo note it most certainly be admit-
ted that such language cannot be maintained towards an
independent state.

Tho Suisse protests with spirit against the tone of
the A menablee Nationale and tho other French jour-
nals that threaten intervention in Switzerland. Al-
luding to the alleged internal divisions in that coun-
try, it says

The issue of the struggle of 1847 has proved that the
Bonderbundisn clement was extremely weak. We need not
say that it has gained nothing tines, and that, on the con-
trary it has lost much. Now, it is in this clement that
many journals, who study Switzerland upon we
know not what map, seek the basis of a strong
government. What publicists! We might ask them
if they think Louis Napoleon Bonaparte would have
been able to preserve his power, if, on Dec. 20 last, he bad
obtained 500,000 votes only out of 8 millions. The question
and the proportion are the same.

The ransom's of the possible change in the corn
laws of Englandhave been received with the utmost
oonstefnatiest is each of the oorn-growing districts
as are still in a position to export. Upwards of 300
ships in the Black Sea, and a still greater number at
Coestentinople, are lying idle; and in Constanti-
nople extreme anxiety was manifested (at the last
advice's) on all hands for the first whisper of the pro-
jested changes in England, no merchant venturing to
Night a vessel until something positive was known.
This was felt more (says a letter from Trieste) on
account of the favourable state of the weather, and
the probability of quick peerages.
The scanty news we have from Hungary says that
goverment is making all passible efforts to establish
Ss new organisation; but the work goes on very
dewy, partly from a dogged passive resistance
alum the people themselves, and partly from
qwele between the men in authority. Notably
smog the latter the Archduke Albrecht and Count
triirare sparring away as vigorously as ever.
ki npnt Regiment of infantry, which has just
returned from Holstein, is to be quartered at Free-
burg.. Famine and bad government, poverty and
military occupation of the country, are making
things in Hungary almost as bad as they can be.
It must be remembered that an Austrian regiment
sad an English one are two very different things.
An Austrian regiment is a little army of sonic 4,000
men. The natural inference is that the state of
affairs in Hungary has grown so far worse of late as
to require a reinforcement of 4,000 men to tho large
army which overspreads the land like a plague of
locusts.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 2nd inst. have arrived,
and in confirming the intelligence we published yester-
day respecting the dissolution of the tortes, state
that the elections for the new Chamber will take
place under the existing electoral law.
Tho Madrid Gazette publishes the return of the
expenses of the state for the present year. They
arc stated at 1,410,673,988 reals, which is a large
excess upon the estimates. The same journal gives
the receipts of the revenue for October last. They
' amounted to 79,1423,520 reale, being two millions
more than in the corresponding month of 11451. A
royal decree, in the Madrid Gazette, definitively
confirms the concession of the Barcelona to Saragossa
railroad to the company formed for that purpose.

.LAMBBTH.

John Chapel IP Lead Boueletne, said to be the son of a
naval officer, and who has been in custody since the Ist
inst., was placed at the bar for final examination.
The prisoner had been stopping for some time at the
York Hotel, York•street, Waterloo-road, where he managed
not only to live sumptuously, at the expense of John
Hutchins, the waiter, who paid his hotel expenses and
gave him credit for the same, but to borrow 71. from him.
At last, when pressed for the borrowed money, the prisoner
gave a cheque on the banking house of Messrs. Coutto and
Co. for 81., and when presented the answer received at the
bank was "No account or no effects." While at the hotel
the prisoner gave an order to Mr. fluid to make a travelling
case, t►e cost of which was to be 20 shillings, and in pay-
ment of which he tendered Mr. &add a cheque for 101. on
Messrs. Coutts, and requested 91. in change. In the first
case the prosecutor admitted that he had not been induced
to give credit nor to part with his seven pounds on the
faith of the cheque, and the transaction in point of law
merely amounted to one of credit. In the second place
Mr. Badd admitted that he had suspected the prisoner
from the first, and therefore did not execute his order ;
and, though he had received the fictitious cheque, he had
not parted with any property on account of it, nor had ho
given any change out of the document.
Mr. Elliott was of opinion that, though there could be
but little doubt of the prisoner's intention, no offence had
been committed that would justify his further detention,
and he must therefore be discharged.
The prieoner himself seemed quite astonished at his for•
innate escape, and hastened out of the dock.

Alfred Willis, a messenger at the Home Office, residing
at 4, Graham-street, Pimlico, was committed for trial;
charged with a scandalous assault upon Mary Mar:in, the

LAMBETH.

Last night a meeting of the inhabitants of Lam-

for the purpose °lnsisting the imp.nition of she increased
income tax and house tax. EIIWA HD I.bllllt, was
called to the chair. The meeting was very numerously
attended. . .

The CUURNIAN, oek opening the business, said that they
had met fhr the purpose of resisting a fresh impuaition of
taxes in the shape f an incre.ised huum tax, a amities
which he contendtd was perfectly unnewisey, He
thought it was the duty of all to mist the proposed measure
by every means in their power, and to show that, as there
would he under tho present system a large surplus, no new
tams were required ; and if they suliSSitect

is stated at 618,069 ounces, worth at the Mint value
full 2,472,0001. This account inc!udes the shipments
from Sydney alone during a period of fifteen
months.

The Chusan, Peninsular and Oriental Company's
steamer, left Sydney for Singapore on the 31st
August, but she had on board only a very small
quantity of the precious metals, owing, it is stated,
to the defective arrangements of the company as
regards insurance, &c. The quantity of gold destined
to bo trans-shipped at Singapore and forwarded by
mail to London was only between 3,0001. and .1,0001,
worth. As she had to cull, however, at l'ort Phillip
and Adelaide, it is probable an addition to her bul-
lion cargo may be made at those ports. This vessel,
it will bo remembered, is the first of a line of
steamers destined to run between the several Austra-
lian ports and Singapore.
Subjoined is a statement, made up from govern-
ment returns, of the quantity of sugar imported and

same time 25,187 tons less than last year, it is evi-
dent the stocks arc rapidly decreasing under the in-
fluence of the augmented demand.

Soon after the opening of business there were sell-
ers of Consols at 101 Z for cash, but the market soon

MR. DISRAELI'S RESOLUTIONS.

In giving the government Resolutions about the
Budget we may preface them by saying that the mem-
bers of the legislature—having now before them the
exact terms of Mr. Disraeli's propositions,—should at
once accept the responsibility of deciding upon some
united line of action to be adopted to-morrow,
when the subject comes before the Hone of Com-
mons. It we may judge by the shoal of letters
brought by etch post to our office, denouncing Mr.
Disraeli's scheme, we must regard that scheme as
only equalled in unpopularity in recent times by the
Papal Aggression. People of all ranks are taking up
a pen to express their indignation ; the walls are
placarded with notices of meetings to be held in dif-
ferent parts of the metropolis; whilst the provinces
begin to give signs of opposition to the com-
plex scheme of our Tory financier. To-day
meetings are to be held in the large districts
of Marylebone and St. Pancras, and on the books
of the Rouse of Commons notices of two amendment,
have already been placed. They can only be re-
garded as the first of many to follow. One of these
was given by the hon. member for Lambeth, Mr
Wilhams—the other by the member for Olasgow,
Mr. Macgregor. The first refers to the house duty,
and runs as follows

Tun House TAX—Mr. W. Williams gave notice that
I when the Chancellor of the Excheque r brought forward his
resolution for doubling the house tax, he should mote as an
amendment, that as a substitute the legacy sod probate
duties be levied on real property to the same extent that is
now imposed on personal property.
The second amendment is to be proposed when
Mr. Disraeli's tea project comes on for discussion. It
runs thus:

That, in lien of the duties of customs now payable on
ten, the following shall, from and to the respective days
herein mentioned, be charged on tea imported into the
United Kingdom :

BOW-STREET.

Thomas Boordilrh,WhO bed been several years em-
p'oyed as a clerk and messenger to Mr. Darren, the lessee
of the Olympic Theatre, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Henry, charged with embezzling money which had ►een
entrusted to him for the payment of newspaper advertise-
meats.

It appeared, from the statement of Mr. W. Farren, jun.,
that he hod been in the habit of paying the prisoner a cer-
tain sum of money every Saturday to defray the cost of
the advertisements of the theatreoshich were to be inserted
in the daily and weekly newspapers during the following
week. It wu his duty to see to the insertion of the adver-
tisements, and to produce the receipts given to him from
the various offices. His constant neglect of this latter duty
induced his employers to suspect that he did not make all
the payments as required, and eventually he was discharged
from his situation. Mr. Fatten subsequently received an
intimation from the proprietor of one of the minor weekly
newspapers that for several months put the usual advertise-
ments relating to the Olympic Theatre had not been sent for
insertion. This complaint led to an inquiry at other news-
paper offices, and it was then ascertained that with respect
to two of the morning journals none of Mr. Farren's ad-
vertisements had been received for insertion since the 18th
of October laet, although (upon the testimony of Mr. Farrell,
juu.) it was proved that the prisoner had instructions to
take them to each journal every week, and was paid the
amount charged for them in advance.
The prisoner, on being taken into custody, admitted that
he had appropriated some of the money, but was willing to
refund it if an opportunity were given to him of doing so.
One case wu partially gone into, but, it being deemed
desirable to have further inquiries made, and to ascertain if
possible the full extent of the various embezzlements com-
mitted, Mr. Henry suggested that the case should be re-
minded for a few days.
Mr. Farrell was anxious for the sake of the prisoner's
family to deal with him as leniently is possible, but
Mr. Henry said it was a very serious alone., and one
that could not be disposed of summarily.

SWITZERLAND.

'BERN E, Mr.
The council of the canton of Solent e has granted g
concession to the ‘Skstbullit Company, which al.
ready had the conces.sion for the Morsec and Yrer.
don line. 'l'lte concession now granted is for a railway
from Sole.re by the kft bank of the Aar to the Aar.
govian frontier, which will form a part of the gen°.
ral lioc of railroad communication across Switzerland
front east to west.

:11. A. Bischoff has applied to the canton of eri
on behalf of the Basle Society for the conmssion of
railway line from Wasen, in the Upper Vulky of the
Reuss, to Flticlo.

According to letters from Genoa and Berne, an
Anglo Swiss company has applied to the government
liar permission to construct the entire web of rail-
ways projected in Switzerland. The expense of
these railways will amount to several hundred mil-
lion francs, owing to the great dillleultics of excre-
tion. The railway considered the most important is
one which, passing through Mont St. Bernard, will
go from Lausanne to the valley of Aost, by Vevey,
and join the Sardinian line which goes to Turin,
The same railway will be united to the French lines,
so that Paris and London will be within easy reach
of Turin and Genoa. The Swiss authorities have
applied to the Sardinian government for its co-opes
ration in the execution of the works in the Nlont
Bernard, and that government has promised it. The
proposed line from Lausanne to Turin will be 2bil
kilometres in length ; whereas that projected by
Lyons, Geneva, Chambery, and Mont Ceids, would
be about 310 kilometres.

AUSTRALIAN GOLD LAND.

On the 3rd of May, according to the Sydney
papers, 9.50 ounces of gold wore brought into Sydney hy

of a very rich spot about to be discovered. A gond deal is
being done at Bell Creek. Claims are sent in in pairs on
either side of the creek. This plan answers welt, far the
whole property is fully worked. At Bell's Creek, at the
depth of sixteen and eighteen feet, logs of trees
have been found rut by some instruineut. Sat.
agave layers of sand have from time to time
been washed dowel over them ; " but who imagined then,
when these trees were cut down," remark., a correspondent
of the Sydney Herald, " that gold, glittering gold, lay in
such profusion on every side 1" " Great success has been
met with at Major's Creek. The steady yield of the two
creeks, Major's and Bell's, and from all the diggings in the
district." saps the correspondent just alluded to, " mug
rank them the highest amongst the Australian goldfields.
Although winter was approaching, in May the weather
was most genial at the diggings, and the grass Wal. green.
Nature smiles, and all are prosperous." In the Bating%
district the aborigines had assembled in great num-
bees, accompanied by • large number of half-caste
children, all of which would he destroyed by the
aborigines according to their custom. The colo-
nial government was urged to take lacewing to pre-
vent these atrocities. In the Sydney Herald of the
4th May, there are a dozen ships advertised to sail
fm Melbourne, and numerous advertisements of gold buyers
in Sydney. There is also an advertisement of a Monsieur
Pruett, who states that ho has discovered the long sought
aft of walking on the water, and that he would make a
public display 04 the Sydney water, of his diecovery on the
10th of May, to celebrate the glorious discovery of gold
within the colony. Monsieur and Madame Pi-wide would
skate on that day upon the liquid wave., demoastratiag

AUSTRIA.

The Reardon Correspondence has the following
from Vienna, 16th
The return of the ordinary reseipts, published en the
12th Inst., shows a very satisfactory result. The receipts
for the tint sin months of the year have amounted to
111,349,34 florins, whilst in 1861 they were only
89,728,8068. ; and in 1860, 86,836,0088. The ineresee bears
principally on the indirect tales, which this year amount to
60,584,8078 t, whilst in 1861 thnly meshed 62,826,6268.,
and in 1850, 46,406,3098. La lacrosse in the receipts
has moreover taken place Ia such breaches as show
an increase of comfort in the working classes.
The import duties have increased a million of floibm, which
is to Ise attributed in a great measure to the changes in the
tariff which have come into operation thrift the half-year.

EGYPTIAN RAILWAY.—A letter from Alexandril
states that the railway works have been greatly advanced
within the last few weeks, and 8,000 men are now employed
in throwing up the embankments along the shores of Lake
Mareotis, the coast line of which it Iran roes for twelve
miles, or nearly its entire length. The foundation hie
proved more secure than was expected, and it is highly
probable, from the exertions that are being made, that by
the end of 1853 trains will he passing with passengers and
merchandise between the Mediterranean at Alexandria, and
the Nile at Kart-Leis. This surmounts, at all events, the
grand difficulty in the transit—the navigation of the canal.
B 7 the Ist of January, 1854, there seem just grounds for
hoping that the communication will have renehed the capi-
tal ; and if the viceroy is prosperous and supported, it a
I highly probable he will order its continuance thence to the
Red Sea at Sues. There has been great difficulty expe-
rienced lately in reaching the terminus recommended by
' Mr. Stephenson, as the line mosses itnino trifling propertyof
' Europeans, and they arc taking advantnre of the neccfmty
to demand the most exorbitant values. In fact, so much
disgusted is the Pacha at their rapacity, that he threaten*
to cut off that portion altogether, and connect it with the
granaries and shunabs by a circuitous trammed.

THE PENINSULAR MAIL.

(By Electric Telegrapb.)
[ITIOX OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY, Mtn-DAY.
The Iberia has just arrived with the Peninsular
mail. She left Lisbon on the 9th. Among her pas-
sengers are the crew of the brigantine Bertha, of
Arundel, which was abandoned at sea on the 2d of
December. When the crew abandoned her they
were in an exhausted state, having been work-
ing at the pumps ten days, and living for
several days on raw salt fish. The captain's arm
was broken, and the crew much bruised; they were
landed at Lisbon on the 2flth,by an American barque.
! —From Lisbon we learn that the decree for the
capitalization of the dividends and outstanding debts
,caused much discontent. The deputies appear to be
very lukewarm as far as business was concerned.
On very few occasions had a house been formed.
The Government have offered the steam navigation
of the Tagus to competition. Exchange, 331. Dis-
count of Lisbon Bank-notes, 2 per cent.
When the Iberia left the Spanish ports, it was
rumoured that important alterations had been made
in the Spanish tariff, and that the dutz on Manches-
ter goods had been reduced from 70 to , per cent.

which be bed dem he several months under their auspices,
though willing at any time to relinquish it either to them
or the creditors. The result was the company was un-
able to meet its engagements. They had offered
some composition, and the liabilities MAC against the
estate. Ills trade creditors were very small in amount,
trifle in proportiun to the trade he bud been carry-
ing on, in which his returns were about 13,0001. The
property had realised 7007.; and the item of 1,7201 for
Posses was the loss on the realisation of the mock—the pro-
perty in his possession at the bankruptcy having cost him
2,1001. Adding to this the surplus, value of the property
mortgaged, 1,4001., in round number the value of his pro-
, psny would be 4,0001.; so that his deficiency would appear
is have been very small. Mr. Goes, hie partner, had died
be 1649 ; but for this, the business, which was very eaten-
des, might have been better attended to. His trade ex-
poses, akmarently large, included a of 4001. or 5001.,
RR redwing premises that were blown down. It seemed
belied been peculiarly unfortunate in this respect, his
having been twice blown down, not through any
=
hie own. Under these circumstance*, he was in-
duced to hope that the court might grant him a first-class
certificate.
Mr. Aldridge, for the assignees, said he was not instructed
to oppose, but it was not shown that Giundlil was a cre-
ditor of the railway company. He had alleg himself to
be a creditor (or 1,4001., in his first balance-sheet; but as
he turned out to be a debtor and not • creditor, the proper
cause of his insolvency jhad not been stated. The large
debt of 2,0001. to Mr. Condor had never been made known
to the creditors.
His Honour did not think a trader was bound to proclaim
to the world how much he owed. It was sufficient if he
answered the question truly, when asked by those about to
give him credit.
Mr. Linklatcr said the bankers had been aware of the
father-in-law's debt of 2,0001. The account with the rail-
way company was of a very complicated nature ; and the
mode in which the acceptances had been dealt with by the
bankers themselves prevented the bankrupt from knowing
the state of the account.
His Honour did not think any error in account, suppos-
ing there to have been one, would affect the question of
conduct.
Mr. Cannan, the official assignee, in answer to pasedens
from the court, said the dividend would be a very small
one. One person put down as a debtor for 401. had made I
himself out to be a creditor, so that the debtors would pro-
dace almost nothing.
The Commissioner—lt seems a strange thing that his
prnaices should have been blown down twice. He must
lame been a very odd kind of builder, or Ipswich must be a
stormy place. (Laughter.)
bankrupt gave some explanation. The buildings were
idanneb value themselves, but they were filled with
Ontlains, which wero damaged.
Mr. Chem said that about 700!. had been realised. In
Suspect Sena of this a claim had been set up to it by the
Pint creditors.
Mr. Linklatcr believed that claim would be abandoned.
His Honour granted • second class certificate.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, JAN. 13.
The Daily Express has the following announce-
ment:

We understand that a special commission will forthwith
issue for the counties of Louth and Monaghan, and that the
presiding judges will be the Right Hun. Chief Justice
Blackburn and Chief Justice Monahan. We are happy to
perceive the government adopting such prompt measures
for the repression of a conspiracy which reflected so much
disgrace upon the country, and inflicted so much suffering
upon individuals.
Yesterday the grand jury of the city of Dublin
found true bills for libel against Mr. James Birch,
proprietor of the defunct Wortd newspaper, for a
series of libels inserted in the last three publications
of that paper, conveying the most horrible imputa-
tions on the character of Mrs. French, relict of the
late highly respected Mr. French, high sheriff of the
city of Dublin in 1818, at which disturbed period
the energy and ability displayed by him wan the ap-
probation of all loyal citizens. Mrs. French is tho
daughter :of Mr. Brewster, whose successful defence
of Sir Wm. Somerville at the late extraordinary
trial no doubt elicited the cruel retaliation of which
Mrs. French so justly complains.

Paris one of the bags was missing, and Mrs. Lloyd
declared that in it was a box of jewellery, contain-
ing jewels and diamonds of the value of between
10,000 fr. and 12,000 fr. The bag was afterwards
found, but the box of jewellery was no longer in it.
Mrs. Lloyd, brought an action against the company
of the Amiens to Boulogne Railway, and the Civil
Tribunal condemned it to pay her 10,000 fr. as da-
mages. The company yesterday appealed to the
Court of Appeal, but the judgment was confirmed.
The government has just published a retun: of the
coasting trade for 1860. The amount of merchandise
carried gives a total of 2,069,000 tons, being 4 per
cent. inure than in 1849, and 8 per cont. lees than
the average of tho five preceding years. This dimi-
nution is pertly owing to the establishment of rail-
ways, and partly to the fact that the abundant har-
vest rendered it unnecessary to transport so much
corn. Out of the 2,069,000 tons, the goods carried
from ono sea to another aro set down fur 194,000
tons, and those from the ports of the same sea
to 1,875,000. It appears also that carriage of
goods from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean shows
an increase, and that from tho Mediterranean to the
Atlantic a diminution. The coasting trade in both
seas between their own ports show a small augmen-
tation as compared with the preceding year, and a
diminution of. a somewhat greater extent as com-
pared with the preceding five years. Looking at the
nature of the goods carried, it is found that timber
is down for 10 per cent., building materials for 114
per cent., wino 11 per cent., corn and flour 10 per
cent., coals 41 per cent., &c. The number of all the
vessels engaged in the trade was 71,700, gauging
2,447,000 tons.
This morning took place the solemn funeral service
appointed to be celebrated in the chapel of the Inva-
• tides, in honour of the memory of Marshal Soult.
M. ltivierr, the advocate who was prevented from
being embarked at Havro for transportation to
Cayenne. by a message of the electric telegraph, and
summoned to l'aris, was, on his arrival in the capital,
set at liberty. Thus, by mere accident, a person
whom the authorities recognise as innocent, and ab-
, solve, has narrowly escaped transportation to a penal
colony.
It appears that the decrees of the Moniteur
rela-
tive to the proscription of members of the Assembly
have produced an impression upon the public so un-
favourable to the government, that it has been de-
termined to carry through the remaining measures
of transportation, banishment, and persecution, with-
, out publishing any future notice as to the facts.
At the Bourse, the Fives rose 83e., closing at
104 15; the Threes rose 75c., and closed
at 69.23.
