THE CLOISTER COURT, NEW HOUSES oF PARLIA-
navy, offers the most elaborate elevation to be found
throughout the building. The other inner courts, it will
be remembered, are all very plain and bald. This is for
the most part a restoration by Mr. Barry of the old work,
which had been miserably altered, patched, and disfigured
by previous architects. The masonry of the other parts of
the Parliament Houses is proceeding gradually; the clock-
tower grows and grows, and promises to have a somewhat
attenuated effect. A few nights ago, when we passed over
the crippled Westminster-bridge, there was a clear sky and
a bright moon ; the width of the Thames was marked by
the lamps on the bridges and on the shores, reflected in long
still streaks of light on the water ; and the immense pile,
which is now beginning to take its real outline, produced a
grand effect —The Builder.
THECRTPT OF Bow CHURCH, which belongs appa-
rently to the end of the eleventh century, is now filled with
coffins of all ages and sizes piled one upon the other, which
have, doubtless, contributed in silence their share of dis-
ease and premature death to the inhabitants of the neigh-
bourhood. In 1849 we gave a view of part of this crypt
with its fearful furniture, which, we have reason to know,
had its effect in rousing the public to a sense of their guilt
folly in permitting intramural interments. Bow much
longer inch madness is to be permitted we know not. We
repeat our denunciations of the system, and in spite of the
anger of our friend the vestry-clerk, would urge with re-
spect to Bow Church, that the bodies sh mid be immedi-
ately removed to consecrated ground, and any fresh depo-
sits there be strictly prohibited. The crypt is ventilated,
the coffins are put in fair order, and we would carefully
avoid attaching blame to any individuals connected with
this charnel-house, which is far from being as bad as many
others. It is against the system which we protest—a
system foul and murderous—a system of which we are un-
able to speak with calmness or propriety.—The Builder.

ITALY.

A letter from Turin announces that the Popo is
seriously ill, and that prayers arc publicly put up for
his recovery.
Another letter from Turin mentions a report
current there in the ministerial circles that the
British and French governments have instructed their
representatives at the court of Tuscany to declare
that England and France witness with aissatisfation
the establishment of relations between the Tuscan
government and that of Austria, which, if continued,
will be destructive of the independence of Tuscany.

RUSSIA.

Our Berlin correspondent writes as follows:
BERLIN, OCT. 23.

These is a report of a conspiracy against the im-
perial government at St. Petersburg, mentioned in
the second edition of the Cotoync Gaulte, which, if
true, is very important. I translate rerlkutim the I
communication I allude to. " Rumours are in cir-
culation of a newly discovered conspiracy among the
nobility at St. Petersburg, and of the arrest of
several considerable persons standing very near the
throne. The discovery, it is said, was made by officers
of the body guard of the Emperor, whom the con-
spirators endeavoured to bring over to their party,
but who revealed the whole matter to the Emperor.
Further details are not known. The St. Petersburg
journals make no allusion whatever to the affair.
But it is not to be expected that in ltussia such
events should be publicly announced till three or
four months after their occurrence."

SPAIN.

A telegraphic despatch received from Paris says :
Arteta, Minister of Commerce at Madrid, was
replaced by M. lteynoso, under date of the 21st
instant.

The Madrid Gazette of the 10th contains, in Latin
and Spanish, the text of the concordat concluded be-
tween the Pope and the Queen of Spain. It enacts
that certain acts may be done be the Queen alone,
and that others niust require the co-operation of the
Pope. The said Gaulle contains a royal decree,
enacting that all contracts and notarial acts executed
in France and in other foreign countries, shall he
held valid by Spanish tribunals, if in accordance with
the following conditions:

1. That the affair or subject of the act or contract be licit,
and permitted by the Spanish laws. 2. That the con-
tracting parties shall be legally qualified to bind themselves
by the laws of their countries. 3. That all formalities
required by the laws of the countries in which the said acts
shall have been passed shall have been fulfilled. 4. That
when mortgages shall be given on real property in Spain,
en inset iption shall be made in the offices of the locality in
which the property is situated, within three months, if the
contracts have been entered into in Europe, nine months if
in America or Africa, and twelve mouths if in Afoul. 5. That
the countries in which the acts and contracts have been
passed shall recognise the validity of the acts and contracts
I drawn up in the Spanish states.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE =PAW.

Sift,—As the principal of the oldest gun manufac-
tory in England, may I be permitted to caution purch.wers
of these articles. There are, I find. parties in London who
sell guns, to whom honesty is of so little importance that
they undertake to put a favourite maker's name on any
gun. This is such an incentive to dishonest servants, and
agents having commissions, that I am sure for the safety of
the public you will be ready to expose it. I attended my-
self at Marlborough-street to complain to the magistrate
concerning this matter. What affects me must affect every
other respectable man, and your referring to it, or allowing
the insertion of this note in your valuable columns, may
prevent danger of life to many parties.
I am, Sir, yours very obediently,
Dover-street, Oct. 23. G. 11. BLANTON.

DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning the
body of a young man, named Robert Collins, was found
lying in a pond in White Horse Fields, Shepherd's Bush,
with the throat severely cut. Information was given to
Sergeant Lowe, No. 32 T division, and he immediately
assisted in dragging the body from the water. The deceased
appeared to have only been in the water a short time, and
his clothes were saturated with blood. Sergeant Lowe and
a con•tuble searched the place, and found a jacket lying
upon the ground within a few yards of the pond, which
was also covered with blood. They were unable to discover
any knife or sharp instrument by which the wounds upon
the throat had been inflicted. Two shillings were found in
the clothes of the deceased, but no letters or papers that
would give any explanation of the cause of the rash act.
It is supposed that the deceased first cut his throat with
some sharp instrument, which he afterwards threw away,
and then ran some distance to the pond, where he threw
himself in, after he hid thrown his jacket upon the ground.
Sergeant Lowe, on making inquiries about the deceased,
found that he had been in the employ of Mr. Hoop, the
contractor, of Kensington. lie was a single man, and
about 22 years of age. The sergeant could tind no cause
for the deceased committing self-destruvion. The body
was removed to a neighbouring public-house to await a
coroner's inquest.

ALGERIA.

The last accounts from Algeria call attention to a
fact which is considered of great importance to the
French :—An assemblage of Arabs was formed in
the environs of Ouarglahunderthe orders of a cherill;
and menaced the southern tribes. General de Salles,
commander of the province, at the latter end of Sep.
tember ordered 400 horsemen of the goums of Cheik
el Arab to proceed to Tuggurth, which the insur-
gents were expected to attack. Although the dis-
tance was 200 leagues the march was effected in
eight days. The goums found the insurgents at-
tacking tuggurth. They immediately assailed the
enemy, and, after a combat, which lasted two hours,
completely routed them, with a loss of d 0
Only two men of the gowns were slain. No Frtnch
troops took part in the engagement.

FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE AT LEITH.

Wednesday night one of the moat disaatrotut con-
flagrations occurred with which Leith has (or a long time
been visited, not only involving the destruction of a large
amount of valuable household property, but attended, we
regret to say, with the death of one unfortunate individual
while engaged in the removal of some furniture.
The scene of the disaster is an extensive range of build-
, imp near to the south side of the docks, forming the corner
composed by the junction of Coburg and Dock-street.
Font or five stories in height, and comparatively of but re-
east erection, they were occupied by the families of a
large number of respectable tradesmen and workpcople ;
whale the ground flour was devoted to shops, of which the
two principal were the spirit cellar of Mr. Drysdale, and
the premises of Messrs. Pole sad Paterson, provision mer-
chants. . .

POPLAR RAGGED SCHOOLS.

The second annual meeting of the Poplar and
Blackwell Ragged Schools was held List night in the Town
Hall, Poplar, Mr. G. 1. Yovxo, M.P., in the chair. There
was a numerous and respectable attendance on the occasion.
Amongst those present were—the Rev. G. F. Brittlelel,
A.M.; Rev. It. Parnell. A.M.; Rey. It. Robbins, M.A. ;
Rev. Geo. Smith, Rev. Mr. Stinson, Mr. J. Fuller, Mr. J.
Bromley, Mr. Phelps, &c.
The CHAIRMAN began by observing that during the
last few years his name had been somewhat prominently
before the public in connexion with certain political and
economic opinions, but however different the views enter-
tained on these points might be, they were on the
present occasion met on a question on which little or no
variety of opinion was held. Not many would dispute the
value and even the ticces.sity of education, and although its
diffusion had been impeded by the confteting opinions of
legislators as to the mode to which it should be imparted,
scarcely ono would be found to deny its vast import-
ance in every point of view. (Hear, bear.) But
if from this or any ether cause the diffusion of
sound and healthy education was retarded, it was the
more incumbent on the people themselves to see that its ad-
vantages were diffused as extensively as possible. (Hear,
bear.) Education was indispensable to all—to the rich as
well as the poor, but he should say to the latter more espe-
cially. He at one time entertained the opinion that edu-
cation should begin from above, and should descend gradu-
ally to the lower classes of society, but he was now con-
vinced that the reverse of this was the true system, and that
to educate a nation properly they must begin with the very
lowest substratum of society, and educate thence upwards.
Mr. FAIRBAIRNS then read the report, from which it
appeared that the expenditure exceeded the income in the
last year by 30f.
The Rev. Mr. &moos (Wesleyan) moved and Mr. GRST,
of the Ragged School Union, seconded the adoption of the
report, which was carried unanimously.
The Rev. GEORGE SMITH (Independent) moved the
next resolution, returning thanks to Divine Providence for
the measure of success which had been vouchsafed to the
Ragged Schools of Poplar and Blackwell, and pledging the
meeting to increased efforts fur their maintenance. 'f he
rev. gentleman urged on the meeting with great feeling
the claims of the rugged schools to public support.
Rev. Mr. ROBBINS, of Trinity Episcopal Church,
seconded the resolution, which was carried, as was also a
vote of thanks to the chairman. A collection was then
made in support of the charity.

COVENTRY.

On Wednesday evening last, a very numerous
meeting was held at St. Mary's Hall, for the purpose of
voting an address of sympathy with, and admiration for,
the illustrious Hungarian refugee. The chair having been
taken by Mr. W. 11. MARDVION, the first resolution, ex-
pressive of sympathy with the struggle made by the Hun-
garian people, was moved bV the Rev. J. Lewerr, who
traced the events which led to the recent outbreak

tiered independence for his countrymen ; hi; noblo
sacrifice of case, social comfort, and fortune in tho
cause of liberty and independence ; and his claims
upon the sympathy of Englishmen, as the possessors
of freedom in their own country ; and concluded a speech
which was much cheered during its delivery and at its ter-
mination, by moving the following resolution, which was
seconded by Mr. THONIAS HILL, and carried unanimously:
"That this meeting rejoices to learn of the deliverance
front exile of the noble and patriotic Kossuth and while it
cannot but deplore the present results of the struggle in
which he and his compatriots were engaged, yet cannot but
look forward with well-grounded hope to the resuAitatiun
of the nationality and independence of Ilungary."
Mr. Macteem then proposed the adoption of an
admirably written Address to M. Kossuth, which was
seconded by Mr. WARDEN, and carried with acclamation
by the meeting.
Mr. E. Goons then rose to propose a vote of thanks to
the mayor for the use of the Hall ; and, in the course of his
remarks, stated that as he understood many per,oni in
Coventry had expressed a wish that Kossuth might pay a
visit to this city, on his arrival in England, he (Mr. Goode)
had written to Lord Dudley Stuart, earnestly entreating
him to endeavour to make arrangements for that purpose ;
to which his lordship replied, that the stay of M. Kossuth in
this country would not be more than ten or twelve days,
after which he would proceed to America; but that lie
would soon return from that country to England, when it
was not unlikely lie would be able to 'my a visit to Coven-
try. Mr. Goode added, that he would leave no stone un-
turned in order, if possible, to get the illustrious Hungarian
to meet the inhabitants of this city face to face, when ha
was sure the reception lie would tacit with would be hearty
and enthusiastic.
This statement was warmly received by the meeting,
which was characterised throughout by an enthusiastic feel-
ing on behalf of its object: and, after the veto of thanks to
the Mayor, CM well as one to the Chairman, had been passed
the assembly broke up.—Coventry Herald.

VICTORIA.

Melbourne p►pers to the 19th of August are
chiefly tilled with details of the gold diggings. The
Lieutenant-Governor had issued a notice cautioning
against gold digging without taking out licenses
issued by the government. At Iluninyong, 50 miles
from Geelong, there were eight cradles at work, and
parties were realising from half an ounce to two
mimes. Gold had likewise been found at Major
Newman's property, Deep Creek, and at Ileidelburg,
mar Melbourne. Gold has been discovered on the
Yarn, on Mr. llawdon's property, by the proprietor,
who, having lately returned from Twofold Bay,
where he discovered gold in abundance, fancied he
perceived a geological resemblance in the two
localities. He subjected a handful of clay to exami-
nation, and discovered three grains of gold. A
number of labourers were instantly employed at this
spot, which is but four miles from Melbourne. Gold
Lao also been discovered in the very heart of Mel-
bourne by two children. while rooting about for
amusement iu the soil. The sample found weighed
half an ounce and ten grains, and had a piece of milk
quartz adhering to it. A bed of dark quartz, about
fifteen inches below the surface, had been subse-
quently discovered, which it was expected would
prove productive. Of the Victoria diggings, sixteen
miles from Melbourne, it is said that the most pro-
ductive spots were those where the slate formation
abounded, from the interstievi of which several small
nuggets had been extracted. The slate averaged
about two feet from the surface, and the lower the
miner penetrated the more successful he proved.
The death of the Rev. James Forbes, of the free
church, is recorded; he was the senior minister of
Melbourne, and laboured in that city for fourteen
years. The deceased was much respected, and his
funeral was attended by his Excellency the governor,
most of the officers of government, and clergy of all

PROTEST OF M. LAROCIIEJACQUELIN.

The following protest against the late usurpation
has been published by M. Laroehejacquclim the
leader of one section of the French legitimists :

To TOE FEENCII NATION.

An act whose results arc incalculable has just been perpe-
trated. The constitution is overthrown, the National As-
sembly unlawfully diisolved by the executive power, the
freedom of a great number of representatives violated, and
the arbitrary caprice of an individual is set up in the place
of law. Long have I desired to raise my voice, and call on
France to put an end to the succession of adventurers
who dishonour her; then might we save France and those
principles without which no nation can be truly great.
But my endeavours were misunderstood and thwart:a.
Since the appeal to the nation, us it is made by M. Bona-
parte, is altogether wanting in those conditions and fea-
tures which alone can ensure the honour, freedom, and
truth of an appeal to the people, I protest, with till the
energy of my conviction, against that act, and the illegal pro-
ceedings by which it is accompanied. Pc rsonal preference
and compulsion are alike employed to give a peculiar
direction to the expression of tile national will in a manner
which wounds every conscience, and must amuse the
indignation of every free man. The constitutional
prerogatives which M. Bonaparte, under the hollow
pretext of a delegation, usurps, would hurl us once
more into inconceivable confusion. The time for Cnsars
cannot have come for France. As a defender of the
principle of the national sovereignty, I must loudly protest,
even if 1 stand alone, against the present violation of this
principle. May my sad forebodings for my native country
not be realised. May France see at length that her help
lies in her own hands, and that in a republic no one has
the right to dispose of the destinies of the land except
accortang to the free and full expression of the public
will.

RAILWAYS.

THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocK:

The share market this morning has presented a
somewhat changed aspect, the activity of late
observable having disappeared. With the absence
of business and consequent preponderance of
realisations, prices show a drooping tendency,
especially for Caledonians, Great Westerns, North
Westerns, Midlands, South Easterns, and York and
North Midlands. Now that the account has closed
it is thought by some that a more sensitive feeling
will be observable in the markets.

MARK-LANR-THIS DAY.

There was very little English Wheat fresh up for this
morning's market, and the few samples on sale were taken
by the millers at Monday's rates. The transactions in
foreign were of a retail character, at former prices.
Flour sold slowly, and its value underwent no change.
Barley hung heavily on hand, but cannot be quoted lower
than before.
The ,rivals y Oats have been small; nevertheless, the
trade was nithent life, and the quotations of Monday were
supported with difficulty.
There was no alteration in Beans or Peas.

GERMANY.

The news of the outbreak in Paris does not appear
to have been received with so much surprise and
alarm as might have been expected : and, indeed,
the strenuous precautions that have been so long
taken, and the large armies kept on foot by the
Absolutist powers, put the success of any sudden
rising almost out of the question. The armies of
Germany are also upon the whole faithful, with the
exception of the Hungarian and Italian regiments
being well aware that their very existence depends
on the preservation of the present state of
things, and that were the cause of the
people to triumph, one of their very first
acts would be to disband the ridiculously
overgrown military establishment of Austria and
Prussia. It was said of the Spanish navy, at the
beginning of the present century, that it was " a face
upon a nose, instead of being a nose upon a face."
'the same expression would certainly apply to the
half million of troops respectively kept oil a mar
footing by Austria and Prussia.
The general discontent in Austria has, however,
risen to an alarming height, and no less than Po
petitioners appeared nt the last public audienoe given
by the Emperor on the 2nd inst.
Tho war against liberal principles still goes on
with unslackened vigour. The Vienna correspondent
of the Sa.ron Ga:elte, a paper usually well infornied,
states that the real cause of the insult recently insti-
gated by Austria against the British ConsuLGeneral
in Servos is to be found in the fact of his having
" protected two strangers who were supposed to be
revolutionary emissaries."
According to a recent order of government no
foreign journals arc in future to be received in Iluni-
gary (even by the editors of German papers)
whiu
have not been previously submitted to the govern-
ment censorship. The same practice exists in Russia,
where all objectionable articles are cut out of papers.
before they arc delivered! The result is worthy .d
remark. rhe foreign ambassadors, of course, cannot
be prevented receiving them, and the porter of the
French charge d'affaires is said to have made his
fortune, by douceurs received from those whose
curiosity he had contrived to gratify by a Peel",
them. In fact, nobody ever took the trouble to read
the portions delivered to them, but carefully mark-
ing the place where an article had been cut out,
they flew to the different officials, and greedily de
voured the forbidden fruit.
The reason of the measure in question is a fear of
the reports respecting the reception of Kossuth
citing the political passions of Hungary, where his

evert, tits snarl ball of the non-commissioned lacers of
the led We Guards took place at the Cimmercial Hall,
King's-road, Chelsea, and under cireumstarms• (says a 'or-

undertook the general management of affair. The steward'
on the occasion were Corporals Oregon, Kendall, Nem,
sad Halt, and the mater of wanton's% was Kr. Orattao
Cooke. All the popular dances of the sear were called '
tato requisition, and especial ear* was taken that the walla!
ohm/acme of the visitors should not he forgotten. There was a
most friendly and pie!urefque admixture of the representatives
of different regiments betides theme of the 2nd Life Guards,
and the flue tall e tures of the soldiers presented a very ef-
fective corral to the slender forms of the gentle damsels
Imo appeared r their "companions in arms." In refer
care to the dancing, it must be admitted that the corporals
and their nmesmates exerted themselves to a surprising de-
gree. It and hardly be stated that the scene was altoge-
ther • eltirsrful and pleasant one, for the gay and gallant
"writer" were avid, otly quite at home ander the fire of
the music, whilst the ladies (the majority of whom ware as
bewitching aladies eau be, when Lifeguardsmen are their
admirers) appeared to think that the proudest dattahters of
the laud would envy their delis ',winos. Tao hall,
which has been considerably enlarged of let*, was graces
fully decorated, and was extremely well adapted for the
merry making.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE,

We have received Cape Town journals of Nov. 2
They contain little of importance. The South Afri-
can aonntercial Advertiser says :—" Public docu-
ments, giving the governor's view of matters on the
frontier at present, shows that his excellency is more
than ear pine in respect of the pros, ect of continued
peace. I) .übtleas his sudden appearance in Ksffirland
was of a beneficial influence. It is also stated that a
timely fill of rain had just taken place, and that this had
greatly relieved tee apprehensions entertained by the
Kalfirs of continued injury from drought. Private
letters from several parts of the frontier are, however,
less cheering in their contents than the government
documents." _ _ .

LAMBETH.

Sarah Whifrhorn, an aged female, and one of the under-
nurses at CUMbCTWCiii workhouse, was placed at the bar
further examination on a charge of manslaughter, in hav-
ing caused the death of Henry Greenaway, a child eighteen
mouths old, by pinching and beating it.
Mr. Plumb, the clerk of the board of guardians of the
parish of Camberwell, attended to watt,' the proceedings.
Mr. Thomas Kerwin King, the parish surgeon, said that
al Tuesday last he attended the deceased child, who had a
slight attack of diarrhma, and also a disease of the skin of
the head, and prescribed the necessary medicines. On the
Thursday forenoon he was at the workhouse, and inquired
about the state of the child, when the prisoner said it was
much better; but in about two hours attewards he was sent
to attend it and found it in a tit. On examining the little
fellow he found nearly the whole of the body covered
with black patches and serious injuries, produced, he bad
nu doubt, by pinching and a pressure of knuckles, and on
the same afternoon the child died. He could not take it on
himself to say, without first performing a post modem
mivation, that those injuries were the actual cause of death.
Ile had no doubt, however, that the irritation produced by
them had accelerated its death.
A young woman named Bailey deposed to having seen
the prisoner shake the deceased violently, and on her re-
monstrating with her and telling her she would kill the
little fellow, her reply was, "And a good job if it WAS dead,
for then I'd get rid of it."
The prisoner denied this, and declared the witness was
unworthy of belief on her oath, hut Mr. Murton told her the
charge was one of a serious character, and remanded her.

on his arrival, entered into negotiations with the mi-
nister of the Divan, and, notwithstanding the isitrecy
which prevails, it is announced that the Viceroy has
entered into the Sultan's views, which are that tho
Tanzimat should be adopted, but on condition that
certain provinces be exempted. The arrears have in
like manner been promised for an early period.

HOLLAND.

The Nlinister of Finance has submitted Ilw follow-
ing important projects of law to the Seeund Chamber
at the Hague:
. .

1. A tax upon Netherlands subjects, of 3 per cent. upon
all property, shares, funds, &c., derived from foreign roan-
tries, which, at a given taxation of 30 millions, promises a
yearly rcvenne of 900,000 florins.
2. Abolition of the existing tax on turf and coals, from
which the loss to the revenue is estimated at 2,391,950 flo-
rins. On the other hand, a new import duty of 2.1 per cent.
per I,ooolb. is imposed on coals, which will bring the
revenue 100,000 florins.
3. Reduction of the tonnage from 15 to 20 per cent.
This will involve a loss of 2,000,000 florins to the revenue.
4. Increase of the duty on salt, from which the govern-
ment expects 100,000 florins.
6. Increase of the duty on sugar. From this project of
law, which has not yet been laid before the chambers, the
government experts a revenue of 6,000,000 florins.
6. Abolition of immunity from duty by thy inland dis-
tilleries, which will probably yield the revenue 150,000
florins.
7. Modification of the stamp duty, reduction to one-half
of the duty on hills of exchange. This is estimated to yield
the revenue 100,000 florins.
8. Modification of the law of patents. This project is
not yet fully drawn up, so that it is not possible to give an
exact estimate of the sum which the government expects to
derive from this project of law ; nor can the sum total of
the financial reform be given with any degree of accuracy.
