SPAIN.

MADRID. Arorsr 24.
It is thought that M. do l'aiva who represents
Portugal at Paris, will be transferred to Madrid to
replace M. de Norouha, now Portuguese minister
there.

The last council of ministers was occupied exclu-
sively with tho consideration of the Mediterranean
line of railway, and of that from Cadiz to Jurez and
Seville.

It appears to be nearly certain that ministers will
convoke the existing chambers. It will bo time
enough to resort to a dissolution in case any decisive

hostility should be mmifested at the beginning of the
stssion.

The Military Gazette says that the Queen is
enrienie.
The Duke of Mauna and Infantado has been pro-
moted to the rank of marshal.

MALTA, ATIOVST 21.
An extra steamer from the Levant conveyed my
last few lines. Reports are rife that she bail on board
dcspatchn of the highest importance fur the French govern.
meat, but the nature of them is kept secret. Many affirm
that a conspiracy has been discovered, at the head of which
are ulemas, or priests, having for its object the dethroning
of the Sultan, and the raining his young brother, a zealous
bigot to the olden institutions, to the ins{ erial dignity. Many
of the ulcreas it to further said, have been arrested.
As if to confirm the sequel to this report, viz., that Rue-
elan influence is at work to effect the overthrow of the pre-
sent ruler, the l'hwton frigate, and the Terrible steam-
frigate, have reached the harbour from the fleet. fly these
arrivals we are led to expect the liritAnnia by the 26th inst.,
and as a matter of course, the fleet will follow, and after
remaining a day or two, the admiral is to proceed to the
Bay of Vourloch, near Smyrna, or Wain.
The steam-frigate Cumberland has left the harbour for,
it is believed, Tripoli, thence to Maiden, and other friendly
ports in the Mediterranean. She was visited by great num-
bers of people during her stay here, the Am, rican officers
doing everything within their power to gratify the people.

SWITZERLAND.

BERNE, Arater 24.
The government of Freiburg seems destined to
unending trials. Only a few days ago it issued
its address to the canton congratulating the
inhabitants upon the rest and security which they
had gained by the decision of the Federal Assembly.
But now, while I yet write, the government is losing
the election which was rendered necessary by
the nomination of M. Schaller to the pre-
sidency. Unhappily the radicals had three
candidates, and all means employed to concentrate
the energies of the party upon one, were unsuccess-
ful. The P
osieuxjesuitical and Sonderbund faction,
on the contrary, were banded as one man to support
M. Charles, the leader of the opposition ; and, there
is every reason to believe, with complete success.
In the city of Freiburg Charles had 2,100, but Schal-
ler only 700 votes.
The troops of the Federal camp at Thnn have
resumed their exercises, suspended by the recent
desolating weather. The men number 4,300, all
(except 10 in hospital) in excellent spirits, and under
exemplary discipline.
The English are swarming here thicker than ever,
and we hear of them from all parts of Switzerland.
The Valais seems to be rejoicing in the presence of a
far greater number of guests than was ever before
known.

TIIP. Snrt.L Fien SEASON, Which is now drawing
to a clue, has been rathl r an unfavourable one, u far as
the Hampshire trade is concerned. ()real numbers of
crabs, lobsters, and crew fish, on their way to nimble, in
Hants, died in board the vessels that wove conveying them
owing to the beat and stagnancy of the water on board.
Itoughish weather is almost necessary to keep these fish
alive after they are taught, as it gives a motion to the water
en board the vessels in whisk they are kept. The freshets
also at iambi*, owing to so much rain, have killed the fish
in the preserve. In the saltern at Ramble, however which
is an improved preserve, the &whew have not boa so de-

DnEAnvut ACCIDENT IN A CHALK PIT. —On
Friday Mr. Eagler, the coroner for Bedfordshire, concluded
en adjourned inquest on the body of Jesse James, whose
meldd of and low of life was briefly mentioned in our last
publication. As the ease, from various causes, has excited
a good deal of interest in the locality, we proceed to give
further details from a source which wu not then avail-
able. On the 29th October the deceased .and Mr. J.
Bates, his employer, were loading chalk at a pit in the
parish of Northill, having a art each. The deceased
had very nearly finished his last load for the day, when
a portion of the bank fell in and completely covered him.
Mr. Bates, who was in the pit engaged with his load,
perceiving the accident, immediately commenced removing
the chalk. After working away for four or five minutes,
ho could distinctly hear the poor fellow groin beneath
the mass. Other assistance was procured, and, after
some further time spent in removing the chalk, the man
was got out. Both his thighs were broken, and he was
conveyed to the house of his employer. The deceased was
informed that the only chancy of caving his lifo was by
taking nil both thighs above the fractures, nod, being fully
awaro of has dreadful situation, he consented to that course.
The man died a few minutes after the operation was per-
formed. The jury returned a verdict of " Accident*
death."—Bedford

The Frankfort Journal Wu; the following, under
date Neurchatel,3oth ult.:—

The sitting of the Brand Council of this day may be re-
garded as ens of the most important since the commenor
meat of the republic. The Assembly deliberated on a
project of law relative to high treason. Five members of
the royalist opposition, whose adhesion was considered cer-
tain, were 'West. The nine others present were divided in
opinion. M. d'lvcrnois demanded that measures be adopted
to obtsin the recognition of the Neufchatel Republic by the
European powers. Having been called to order, M. diver
nois observed, that so long as two political parties should
exist to the Canton, it would he impossible to define the
crime of high treason. The Assembly being consulted de-
cided, by a majority of 68 to 10, that, in the sitting of to-
morrow, a project of law relative to the crime of high trea-
son should be submitted to its deliberation. In the after-
noon sitting, the Grand Council pissed the following reso-
lution political corporation, celled the Bourgeoisie
of Valengin, already deprived of its rights by the constitu-
tion, is and remains suppressed. The property of the
former Counts of Valengin and of the Princes their swam-
ping, hitherto enloyed by the bourgeosie, is transferred to
the districts of the county, that is, of Vol 'Jr Nun and of
the Mountains. The archavee of the bourgeoisie of Valen-
gin are incorporated with those of the State." The discus-
sion was calm and becoming, and the resolution was pro-
claimed without any noisy manifestation on either side.

There eras no alteration in the value of either English or
foreign Wheat this morning. The supplies of the latter
continue large ; on the other hand tke demand being good,
both from neighbouring and more distant millers, no accu-

stiffen.

Flour was fully as dear this morning. English Barley
scarcely sold so well as on Monday last, but foreign, for
grinding purposes, was in fair request, at former rata..
Oats were in good supply from Ireland and abroad, and

PARIS, MONDAY MTINIIIO.
In consequence of the demagogical sentiments
manifested by the municipal council of Thorigny the
prefect has pronounced the dissolution of that body,
and has replaced it by a commimion composed of men
of government opinions.
The Presse, in its weekly commercial bulletin,
sus:
The manufacturers have Increased the number of their
workmen, and have even consented in several cues to in-
creszie their wages in order not to incur the risk of losing
them when their !services might be wanted. In bronzes,
jewellery, cabinet making, and toy making good work-'
men have almost all obtained an increase nearly equal
to one day's wages. Men who work at their own homes
have been obliged to refuse a portion of the work which
has been brought to them. These are certain
indications of a favourable Movement in trade.
Betimes is rather calm among the stuff rasnufatturers in
the departments. It is tree that those of Alsace and
Normandy have this year had a longer season than in
previous years. Purchases have been checked in cosue•
queue of the high price of the raw material. The looms
of Lyme, which for • time sere i Ile, are now fully occu-
pied. Considerable mien have been received from Eng-
land and from the United States. The English aristo-
cracy n9ticed the superiority oboe fine silks and velvets
in the Great Exhibition, and sines that period:the orders

TO SIT

This was an upped from a decision of the Inner House of
the Court of Baotou is Bootlead. The appellant, Mr.
Peter Ferrie, and the respondent, Mr. George Perri., were
brothels, and eons of Mr. Robert Ferri., of Blairtnnwsock,
who bad been a builder In Glasgow, and who died in Jan
1846. By his will he disposed of his property, consisting
ehielly of houses in Glasgow, by leaving it in trust to accu-
mulate for 19 years after his death, and then to be divisible
into four parts. One fourth eras left to his eon, William
Ferris; another fourth pert to his daughter, Christian.
married to Mr. Atherton; and the reenacting two (earth
parts to his son, Mr. George Ferris (the respondent), bat
charged with an annuity of 1251. to his other son, Mr. Peter
Ferne (the appellant). These four children survived him,
and the appellant, Peter Ferrite, and Mrs. Atherton, both
resided in New York at the time of his death. The
trustees declined to accept the trust, and proposed that the
family should set aside the will, and execute a dead of
amazement, so u to get rid of the accumulation, and
enable them at once to realise the property and pay the
teetator's debts, Srhich were coesiderable. A deed wee se-
cordingly prepared, bearing date April 28, 1845, and sent
to New York for the approval of, and execution by, the
appellant, l'etcr Ferrie, and Mr. and Mrs. Atherton. The
appellant, being unwilling to accept the annuity of
1261., but preferred • fourth part of the residue or his
father's estate, and be accordingly altered the deed to that
effect. To this it was alleged that George Ferric, by his
acts and correspondence, assented, and that he was bound
by his consent. In the court below the Lord Ordinary de-
cided that George Ferris had so agreed, and was hound to
accede to the alteration in the deed. The cause went to the
inner house, which was equally divided, and having called
in three jedges of the first division, they decided by a majo-
rity on reversing the decision of the Lord Ordinary, end
decreed that George Ferris had not assented to the altera-
tion a the deed. Against this decision Peter Ferrier now
appealed.
At the conclusion of the argumente for the appellant,
without calling on the counsel for the respondent,
Tneir Lordships confirmed the decision of the court be-
low, and dismissed the appeal with oasts.

COLLISION At BEA.—The schooner Arethusa
towed into the port of Belfast on Thursday evening, in a
damaged condition, by the brig John Thompson, Thomp-
son, master, alter having come into collision with another
vessel, and oeiog tossed about the Channel for a r.umber of
days, with—a rather singular eireumstance—the master,
John Wakeham, only on board. We have learned that the
Arethusa, while on her voyage from Bristol to Liverpool,
was run into on the 12 inst., by a large vessel the name of
which is at present unknown. While the vessels were in
contact, the crew of the Arethusa fearing she would go
down succeeded in getting on board the strange ship,
leaving) only their gallant commander on board, who,
with that bravery which distinguishes the muter, of
our mercantile navy, refused to leave his ship while there
existed the least chance of her remaining afloat.
The unknown ship, almost immediately after the collision,
bore away, leaving the Arethusa solely manned by Capt.
Wakeham, with all the dangers of his vessel being in a
sinking state without a friendly hand te assist him. In
this singular condition the Arethusa bore her brave captain
and a very valuable freight of line, sheet-tin, itc., through
different parts of the Irish Channel, according to the vary-
ing@ of the breeze, Capt. Wakeham being engaged alter-
nately keeping himself afloat by means of the pumps,
attending to the wheel, and, when ability allowed him,
shifting some canvas. At length, on the 16th, a sail tip-
which proved to be the brig John Thompson, which
Immediately bore down to his assistance, and a hawser with
two men were placed on board the Arsthuss,, and she was
taken In tow by the brig.—North•ris Whig.

coal nierehant in London. 81se has latterly resided at 18,
itegeacy.square, Brighton, and she was the most severe
sufferer in the collision that occurred at Reigate Junction
three weeks ago. A considerable eatennt of evidence was
laid before the jury ; but that of meet Interest was given

dectued sine* the accident.—Mr. Boodated• Vilma amid
that the injury she sustained was a ssupeerl lbestmes sf

By a post mutest examination, he found that do unfortn•
sate holy bad been afflicted with a diastase of the heart,
and he wee inclined to regard that as the immediate came
of her death. Ile could not say positively that the shock
which the system 'utilised in the accident did not facilitate
the cause of death. Mr. Latham, a surgeon, agreed with
Mr. Valiance as to disease of the heart being the actual
cause of death. It we. possible that it might take its rise in
a shock ; as to whether the shuck accelerated the fatal ter.
urination, it was impossible to give any certain opinion.
The jury, after some deliberation, gave a verdict of "Died
by fatty degeneration of the heart, of long standing"

Mr. Edwin Ilro infield, the ;a; is7Of ;be Infant National
School, in lloaton-square, attended before Mr. D'Eynoiurt.
in support of three separate summonses which he had ob-
tained against parents of his pupils—one of them was
charged with • sneleut assault upon him, and the two others
with having used such thy., atening Language towards him,
that he considered himself in personal danger from tits.i.
. et, and the
violence. The first charge was Ppreferred,brts.iist
James Tillett, a cabinet-maker, in Litettn
complainant having been ....so di
mated that at the com-
mencement if the •
sallint month one of the defendant's
sons' s a/rAit seven years old, was placed at his school,
bn raving greatly misconducted Mensal on the very first
day of his admission, it was found necessary to subject him
to personal correction. On the following day his conduct
was such as to call fur a repetition of the punishment, and
he did not make his appearance at all on the ensuing morn-
, ing, but in the course of the day the defendant abruptly
entered the school-room, leading hisses, and accompanied
by another person, and, showing some marks upon the
child's person, eked, in a violent maniac-, if complainant
had indicted them. Ile replied he had punished the boy,
when the defendant abused hint violently, and threatened
to assault him. In retresting from him, complainant
stumbled sod fell heavily on the Moor.
Two scholars confirmed this statement. _ _

Defendant and his companion totally denied the abtuive
language, and said complainant threatened them with •
thick stick, and that then he gave him a slight push.
Mr. D'Hyncourt said that however much the complainant
might have been blameable in the matter, he should ex-
press no opinion upon the subject. The defendant was not
justified in taking the law into his own hands, and publicly
Insulting him in the presence of his scholars, and he should,
therefore, order him to pay a penalty of 10s., or to be coin-
, mitted for a week to the House of Corraction.

Oa this, as well as on the two preceding days, the Hon.
0. C. Norton was engaged for upwards of three hours in
hearing and disposing of the charges (pearl. one hundred
in number) brought from Camberwell Fair. In disposing
of the last charge brought before him from the fair, Mr.
Norton said " There cannot be a doubt that this fair at
Camberwell has become an attraction to all the low chaser-
ten in the metropolis, and had it ►ut continued a few days
longer, we should have had brought to this court all the
low thieves, the petty gamblers, ►nd vicious characters in
the metropolis. Instead of being, as it was intended, and
as it used to be in former times, a place of enjoyment and
relaxation for the pleasure.seeking portion of the metro-
polis, it boa become the very vortex of crime, and it is really
quite shocking to observe the number of juvenile thieves
that have been brought before me during the present fair,
and against whom charges of picking pockets have been
clearly established. This fair, in my opinion, is becoming
an intolerable public nuisance."
A number of the persons charged, and who were from all
quarters of the town, were remanded, to give the constables
time to inquire about their characters, whilst those who
were spoken to as well known thieves, and whose characters
were notorious, were at once committed to prison for various
periods.

MEETING ON THE GOVERNMENT REFORM

DILL.

Last night a public meeting of the inhabitants of
the united parishes of Bt. Andrew Holborn ■nd St. George
the Martyr was held iu the hall of the Workhouse, Grey's
Inn-lane, pursuant to a numerously signed requisition, to
consider the quettien of reform in parliament. Mr. TILI.
MARAH In the chair.
The CHAIRMAN briefly noticed the object of the meet-
ing. Muth disappointment existed with respect to Lord
John Russell's bill, and especially with respect to the limi-
tation of the duration of oarliament, which it did nut in-
terfere with. The extension of the suffrage was a step in
the right direction, but it was evident that the ballot was
required, that voters should not be coerced by landlonls or
employers. An to the ballot being un-English, he consi-
dered that it was must Eoglish to protect the voter in tne
exercise of his rights. (near, hear.)
Mr. J.C. EVANS moved the adoption of a resolution de-
claring that," while deeply grateful to her Majesty's govern-
ment (or introducing the subject of reform in parliament,
the meeting felt called upon to declare itsconviction that
Lord John Russell's measure fell far short of the just ex-
peetations of the public, but especially because it makes no
provision for the disfranchisement of a large number of
►mall and corrupt boroughs which have long proved a dis-
grace to the country, and a mockery of the principles of
popular representation."
The resolution having been unanimously adopted,
Mr. BANDLAND then proposed another, declaring
" That no measure of reform in parliament would be satis-
factory which dors not provide fur the extension of the
suffrage to all persons paying direct tale., or country,
borough, or parochial rates—triennial parliaments—the
vote by ballot—the disfranchisement of smell or corrupt
boroughs—the grunt of the representation to populous
towns of present unrepresented, with additional represen-
tatives to sorneof the largest towns and cities, cad the im-
portant metropolitan boroughs."
This also was unsnimuwly adopted, ■nd was then re-
solved, on the motion of Mr. I.:Lenin% that a petition,
loon& d on the forgoing resolutions, should be presented to
the House of Commune.

ALGIERS.

The Woniteur AlgeWenOTiie sth says that a gig
nal sictocy has been obtained over Bou-llaghla.
The Monitcor ..I'gerien publishes the official re-
turns of the receipts of the customs at Algiers during
the year I+sl. They were as follows: Revenue of
the treasury, 2,174,344 fr. 10c.; local and municipal
revenues, 3,025,5921 r. 15c.; total, 5,200,236 fr. 25e.,
or 191,217 fr. 00c. less than in 1850, when the total
receipts were 5,391,454 fr. 15e. This falling off in
the amount of the receipts is only to be attributed to
the change resulting from the law of January 11,
which made a radical alteration in the customs legis-
lation in Algeria.
A double military execution rook place on the '2nd
inst. at Blida'', in Algeria. The condemned men
were two Arabs, who had been convicted of an
attempt at assassination. On arriving at the place
of execution, the Arabs were placed on their knees
in front of two platoons, of 12 men each. The first
platoon fired, and the Arab opposite them fell dead:
the other, thinking his men had also fired and ini.sed
him, jumped up and took to his heels. Ile had
already gained the foot of the mountain, when an
officer on horseback gave him a sabre cut and knocked
him down. Ho was then brought back, and under-
went his sentence.
