FRANCE.

The following telegraphic despatch, received this
morning, gives the last version on the constitution of
the Turkish ministry :
PARIB, TITZIMAT MO/WINO.
The Moniteur announces the rupture of diplomatic
relations between Austria and Switzerland.
The Turkish ministry is thus arranged: Fuad Effendi
is not minister; Musts ha Pacha is Grand Vizier;
Mehemet Ali Pacha, Minister of War; Reschid
Pacha, Foreign Affairs; ?Utast Pacha, President of
the Grand Council.

PARIS, MONDAY EVINI24O.
Several journals having demanded that the French
settlement at the Grand Baasam should receive
prompt assistance, in consequence of disturbances
having occurred amongst the native population in
the neighbourhood, the Moniteur states that the
commander of the naval division of the West Coast
of Africa has taken all the necessary precautions for
the protection of French commerce against the
hostility of the natives.
The news from Turkey was the absorbing sub-
ject of conversation on the Bourse to-day, and
was very variously interpreted.
The Bourse, which opened with tolerable firmness
at Saturday's
_prices, gradually gave way consider-
ably. The Three per Cents. fell from the opening
price of 81.50 to 81.5, and closed at 81.15. The fall
was accelerated by a report that the Austrian minis-
ter had left Turin, but this was not generally credited.
The Univers publishes a translation of the two
last firmans concerning the Holy places, documents
which I have not yet seep elsewhere, and the au-
thenticity of which I cannot, of course, guarantee.
The Unirers observes that these tirmans do not
bear out the resent assurance of the Moniteur that n•
change had been made in the concessions obtained in
favour of the Latins, by M. Lavalette. It objects
particularly to the precedence given not only to the
Greeks, but to the Armenians over the Latins, and
to certain clauses about the reparation and form of
the cupola of the Church of St. Sepulcrhe. It further
paints out as a derogation from M. Lavalette's treaty
that it is not expressly said that the property in this
cupola is common to all Christians.
The let, General Halite's, division of the army of
Paris, marched to the camp at Satory this morning.
The lady of General Cavaiguac has resented him
with a son and heir.
The Assembl,4 Nationale considers the approach
ing marriage of the Duke of Brabant with an
Austrian archduchess as an important guarantee for
the peace of Europe. The legitimist or fusionist
journal—for it is not easy from day to day accurately
to designate the policy of the Bourbon press —is

quite reconciled, under the circumstances, to the
fact established by this alliance that Belgium now
gravitates towards Germany instead of towards
France. Austria keeps up her old reparation for
shill in extending her influence by marriages—
Ms gamut ski, to fr:ia Austria nube;
Nan qua Mars atilt, dat tibi adeptra Venus.
The -Isseniblje says that a marriage is spoken of
between the Emperor of Austria and • daughter of
the King of the Belgians.

PLYMOUTH ELECTION.

ECILTIIEIt rinciny.
Yesterday this committee, consisting of Mr. Ag—
lionby (chairman), Mr. G. C. Glyn, Marquis of Chantios,
Mr. } erguson, and Mr. S. Child, re-assembied to institute
further inquiry into the corrupt practices of the last
election. _ _ __• _

Mr. Alexander, Q.C., with Mr. Rodwell, the counsel ap-
pointed by the Speaker to conduct the investigation, stated
that the parliamentary agent, Mr. Venables, and his soli-
citor, Mr. Gallow, ha.l spent the whole of last week at
Plymouth, and their inquiry led them to believe that they
should be able to bring before the committee a very large
number of cases of bribery, but owiug to the disrloeuics be-
fore this committee, and those before the committee on the
dockyard appointments, combined with the present contest
going on for the vacant seat, it had been found difficult to
prosecute a preliminary inquiry, as all parties at Plymouth
were very cautious, and very much en the. it guard. Ile
had, in consequence, to request that the committee would.
concede a fortnight's adjournnrint.
After a discussion of no moment, the committee, after
issuing warrants for the attendance of witnesses, declared
the inquiry adjourned to this day three weeks.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Mr. John if Cathuy, landlordui the Salmon and
Ball public-house, in the Bethnal-green-road, appeared
upon a summons in which he was charged with having un-
lawfully refused to receive and afford proper accommoda-
tion to a private of the 2nd Tower Hamlets Militia, who
had been quartered at his house.
Mr. Childs pleaded guilty to the charge on behalf of the
defendant, but disclaimed any wilful infraction of the law
on the part of his cheat, who had acted under the mistaken
idea that if he furnished the soldier with an equivalent in
money to provide himself elsewhere with the requisite
accommodation which he was unable to furnish in his own
house, he would thereby fully satisfy all the requirements
of the statute. Under these circumstances, he trusted that

the charge against the defendant would not be pressed to a I
conviction ; and, as the same erroneous impression was
widely entertained, to his certain knowledge, amongst the
general body of licensed victuallers, it was highly desirable
that the actual state of the law relating to the subject
should be extensively made known, for their future guid
auce and protection.
A militia officer, who attended for the prosecution,
banded to the magistrate a letter from the Secretary of
State to the colonel of the regiment, in which he fully ex-
plained the provisions of the act on the point referred to,
and directed that a summons should be taken out in every
instance where they were not complied with.
Mr. Hammill said that it was perfectly clear, according
to the express terms of the Mutiny Act, that a licensed vic-
tualler was not justified in venting money to a soldier
quartered upon him in lien of the diet and accommodation
to which he was entitled, but that he was bound to furciob
them in kind, either in his own house or at some other con-
venient place in his immediate neighbourhood. As it was
obvious in this instance, however, that the defendant had
no intention to evade the law, and it being the first case of
the kind that had been brought under his notice, he should
order the summons to be discharged on. payment of costs.

" Th.i news of the projected union between
11.1t.11. the Duke of Brabant and the Archduchess
Marie of Austria, daughter of the late Palatine, is

formally demanded of the Emperor of Austria the
hand of the young Archduchess, and this demand
has been graciously and favourably accepted. We
believe we may add that the marriage will be con-
tracted at uo distant date, probably before the

MANNING THE NAVY.

Sir J. TYLER begged to ask the First Lord of the Ad-
miralty whether he would place on the table of the home
the evidence upon which the report of naval officers ea =m-
ains the navy was founded ?
Sir J. GRAHAM mid that the naval officers who re-
oat manning the navy had ban appointed by the
re-
parted
litre Board of Admiralty to make inquiries only on autho-
rity delegated to them by the bard ; they sat in a privet's,
room at the Admiralty, they had no power to take evidence,
and the ecarainations were takea under the seal of coati.:
deuce, and, under these eiretimstanoes, it was not the in-
tention of the government to lay the evidence on the Utile.
Admiral WALCOTT begged to ask whether, in conifers
with the report of the naval officers on manning the navy,
there would be any objection to lay on the table the meets
of Mr. Pennell (se we understood) and Sir C. Napier?
Btr J. GRAHAM said the government bad laid ea the
table all the documents which they thought, consistently
with the public interests, they could produce.
Admiral WALCOTT gave notice that he should move for
these papers.
THE INCOME TAX BILL.
On the motion for going into committee on the Ineenale
Tax Bill,
Col. DUNNE rose to move " that it is expedient, before
additional taxation be extended to Deland, that a Wed
committee be appointed to inquire into and _
eider the Haul and
.political relations and maim
taxation of Groat. Britain and Ireland, and to report
whether the latter kingdom does not bear her lair share of
imperial taxation." He urged that there was • great igno-
rance of the actual state of Ireland ; that no previous
Chancellor of the Exchequer had attempted such an exten-
sion of taxation to Delano as either the income tax or the
duty on spirits ; and that such a proceeding was a violation
of an article of the Act of Union, which declared that there
should be periodical inquiries into the relative condition of
the two countries with reference to taxation. He urged
that it was contemplated by the Act of Union that there
should be similar bet not the same taxation for the two
countries. The Treaty of the Union had been most iMuri-
an to Ireland, for whereas at that time her public
debt was 25 millions, which was to have been liqui•
dated from her revenue, that revenue had been appro.
priated by the State, end her debt increased, by borrow-
ing, to 105 millions. In 1811 there had beta a
molidation of the exchequers of the two countries, which
was only a fiscal arrangement, but no violation of the Act
of Union, as some people maintained ; but the late Lord
Fitzgerald, who in 1818 introduced the measure for the
consolidation of the two exchequers, ehowed that Ireland
would lose instead of gain by that eep. Ireland had
lost by reason of the change in the corn laws, absenteeism,
and other causes, no less than 182 millions in the last
thirty-five years, the greater part of which had been trans-

RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT IN TUE WEST.—A letter
from Vienna state. that a great number of Russians, who
were residing there, have set off for St. Petersburg, in con-
sequence of the imperial ukase, which enjoins all Russian
subjects to return to their country every two years, and pass
three months there, under pain of having their property
confiscated. By this means, and with the aid of his spies,
the Russian autocrat governs his subjects as effectually at
Vienna, Paris, or London, as at Moscow or Kief.

SPAIN,

The Clamor Publico of the 9th mentions a report
that General Narvaez, as a proof of his submission
to the Queen, will, before returning to Spain, apply
for a passport for Vienna.
Letters from Paris also contain the report that the
quarrel between this personage and the royal family
approaches a settlement. On Wednesday the mar-
shal, who has lately arrived in the French capital,
had a very long conference with the Queen Mother.
On leaving the royal presence it was remarked that
the marshal appeared very well satisfied with the re-
sult of his interview.

AUSTRALIA.

The private letters received by the last Australian
mails at Southampton and its neighbourhood contained
generally good news. A. highly intelligent young man, Of
Millbrook, near Southampton, write' from the Forest
Creek diggings, on the 16th of February last, as follows ;
" In this district there are about 100,000 gold diggers.
As to the gold regions being soon worked out, is child's
talk. There will be gold for years to come yet. Notwith-
Winding the numbers of people, the greatest order and de.
comm prevails. The Sabbath is kept far more rigidly than
in England. We have made 3 lbs. of gold since Christmas.
One thing I feel up here is the want of books. When we
came up we had to pay 6d. per pound carriage for every
thing we brought, so that we have nothing but what is in-
dispensable. Many persons suffer from bad eyes. The
heat of the sun by day and cold at night causes inflamma-
tion. The flies are terrible pests ; they care nothing about
sager or anything sweet."
Another young man, who went out from Tatton and has
been out there six months, writes on the Ist March :

lam now brickmaking at Prahran, in the bush. I can
manage to clear 41. a week. I have bought some land, and
shall make bricks on my own account. The price of bricks
is 101. a thousand. Tell that if there are any vessels
coming out to Australia from Southampton, I shall be glad
of a cargo of fir weather boards, any size in general use for
building, as all the houses are built of wood where I am,
and a tremendous price is paid for it."
-••• • • •

Several persons in Southampton and its neighbourhood
have had specimens of gold tent them by their children or
friends. News has reached that town also that several per
sons from the Ordnance map-office in Southampton have
safely arrived in Australia.

THE lONIAN ISLANDS.
A telegraphic despatch, dated Corfu, July 10, and
transmitted through Vienna, states that two political
refugees there had killed an Englishman. They
were both arrested, tried, and sentenced to be hanged
on the 11th inst.

CONVERSION OF THE NATIONAL DEBT.

It may be useful to inform holders of Three per
Cent. Stock desirous of converting their holdings, or
any part thereof, into the uew stocks offered by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, under the act which
has just received the royal assent, that upon applica-
tion at the stock offices of the Bank of England (the
Consols office or Reduced Threes office, as the case
may be), they will be provided with a printed form,
specifying the exact nature of the option they may
desire to exercise, and which merely requires to be
filled up with name, address, date, amount, &c. The
notice will of course be invalid unless the several
names and descriptions agree with the entry in the
Bank books. For proprietors of South Sea Stock
(which is to be compulsorily commuted, with the
option of being paid off). separate books are open at
the South Sea House. Holders of Consols and the
Reduced Three per Cents. may require to be re-
minded that with them the conversion is perfectly
optional. Notices of assent to the conversion are
received daily.

We are authorised to state that as Mr. Gladstone '
was returning home from the Opera at Covent-
garden, on Tuesday night, ho was addressed by an
unfortunate woman, who earnestly begged his atten-
tion to her story. While Mr. Gladstone, as ho
walked on, was listening with his accustomed bene-
volence to this appeal, the woman suddenly perceived
some person approaching of whom she seemed to
entertain great apprehension, and clung to Mr.
Gladstone, apparently for protection. The scene
then ensued which was described in our impression
of yesterday.

INDIA.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

We have received the following message, dated
TItIESTE, Msv 11.
The steamer Calcutta arrived this, morning at 9
o'clock from Alexandria, having performed the
transit in 106 hours.

On the 19th of March, the force under Sir John
Cheape took the fortress of Meaton, near Donabew,
after four hours' hard fighting, and with a loss of
102 rank and file, killed and wounded.

Nothing was precisely known of the stafe of
affairs at Ava, nor of the latest movements of our
forces. It was thought probable that Lord Falkland
would remain another year in Bombay.
Mr. Luard, of the civil service, has been suspended,
for having alleged that, if a public inviry were ap-
pointed, he could prove that two supenor officers had
been guilty of infamous conduct in the exercise of
judicial functions. A strong. wish was expressed in
the Indian press that an investigation should be
appointed.
Great and general indignation was felt when the
news arrived that the British government proposed
to renew the Indian charter for ten years, without

ioquiry.
Intelligence from China is of the 27th of March.
Sir G. Bonham was gone to Shanghae. The insur-
gents were advancing so rapidly that the Emperor
was compelled to demand assistance.

Capt. W. J. Ncpperus, while at anchor near the Tower of
Leander, at the entrance of the Bosphorus, was suddenly
attacked on the night of the 16:h ult. by a band of pirates.
There was only one man. on watch on deck, who wasseized
and gagged to prevent his giving the alarm. The captain,
who was asleep in his cabin, pith the captain of another
veieel„ who had come on board' to see him, were attacked
and desperately wounded. Every thing in the cabin was
pillaged. On the following day the police, to whom in•
formation had been given, arrested two persons, who were
recognised by the man who was on duty on deck. These
freebooters are supposed to be Greek pirates from the
islands of the Archipelago.

ALGERIA.

Intelligence has been received from Algeria to the
sth inst. A severe chastisement had been inflicted
on the Hamyans Chaafa. The other fractions of the
flamyans, even those appertaining to Morocco, and
who come into the French territory only during apart
of the year, had given to the commandant of the diri.
sion of Oran guarantees of their obedience, whilst the
Chaafa alone exposed themselves by their constant
tergiversations and their hostilities against the Ksonrs
to a severe punishment. Colonel liurricu ordered Si
Hamza to proceed against them, which task he per-
formed with great activity, and came up with them at
Oembaha. He had with him 400 horsemen and 500 M.
fantry ; and also a body of 300 cavalry of the Tell,
commanded by Caddour-Ould-Adds. Si Hamm
obtained a complete success, carrying off 30,000
sheep, '2,000 camels, and a great quantity of other
booty. The Hamyans had 20 horsemen killed, and
the French troops only three foot soldiers.

THAMES.

Thomas Raffleld, ageTll3,maaager at the Gun Deck
Ship-building-yard, in Wapping, was charged with assault-
ing and wounding Isabella liaffield, his sister, by striking
her OR the head._ _ _

Mr. George Judge, an inspector of the Thames police,
stated that at half-past 12 o'clock on Tuesday night, a man
came to him at the station-house in Wapping, and said a
woman had cut her throat at Gun Duck, and in consequence
of what he said he went to the house, No. 281, Highstreet,
Wapping, where he saw the prisoner in the kitchen in a
state of great agitation. la the sine in the corner of the
kitchen there was a washing basin with bloody water in it.
There were stains of blood on the prisoner's shirt and
clothes. Oa the stairs leading from the kitchen to a sit-
ting-room above there were bloody footmarks. On the top
of the stairs he found the prisoner's sister weltering in her
blood, which was flowing copiously from a wound on her
head, and continued in a stream all down the stairs to the
kitchen. The woman was quite insensible, and he raised
her up and wiped the blood off her face. When she re-
covered her senses, he asked her who had wounded her,
to which she replied that it was her brother. As her situa-
tion appeared to be very critical, he immediately sent for a
surgeon. He went down to the prisoner in the kitchen and
asked him what he had done. He answered "nothing,
nothing." He then gave the prisoner into custody, and
caused the woman to be conveyed to the London Hospital.
In answer to questions by Mr. Yardley, the inspector said
that the prisoner cid not say anything to his sister as he was
leaving the house, and that when he asked him to go up-
stairs and see her, he said " no, no," and was in a state of
great agitation. The woman was very bad indeed.
Mr. Charles Doig, surgeon of Globe-street, Wapping,
said he was called in to see the prisoner's sister on Tuesday
night, and found her weltering in her blood and suffering
from an extensive wound on the back of her head, which
bad evidently been inflicted with a blunt instrument. She
was in danger at the time.
Mr. Yardley—Would any examination of the woman
aggravate the danger ?
Mr. Doig—Oh! most certainly, sir, it would.
Victoria Meredith, of No. 280, High-street, Wapping,
stated that between II and 12 o'clock she heard a noise in
the house adjoining that in which she lived, which was
followed by the moans of some one.
The Prisoner—l was not at home then.
Mr. Yardley said there was some evidence against the
prisoner, but it was very slight. If he had wounded his
sister by striking her on the head with a poker, it was a
most serious charge. lie supposed the prisoner could find bail.
Mr. F. Pelham—Oh yes, sir, to any amount.
Mr. Yardley—Very well. Let him find bail to appear
here this day week, himself in 801. and two sureties in 40/.
each. It must be none at once.
Bail was immediately tendered and accepted.
